Mar 01, 2022 City Council

[00:00:02]

ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING.

IT'S 5:30. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CALL THIS CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO ORDER, AND WE'RE GOING TO START AS WE DO EVERY SINGLE MEETING WITH OUR INVOCATION.

AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE OUR CITY CHAPLAIN, PASTOR REED, DOWN FOR THE PRAYER AND THEN WE WILL GET INTO THE PLEDGES.

SO Y'ALL PLEASE RISE WITH US.

LET'S PRAY.

DEAR LORD, WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS EVENING WHERE WE LOOK OUTSIDE AND SEE PEOPLE VOTING AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE CAN CAST THEIR VOTE.

AND IT MATTERS.

WE PRAY BLESSINGS ON THE PEOPLE WHO GOT OUT TODAY TO VOTE.

AND OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE GIVE THANKS FOR CANDIDATES WHO ARE WILLING TO SUBJECT THEMSELVES AND THEN THEIR FAMILIES TO A REAL STRUGGLE IN TODAY'S WORLD.

SO WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD BLESS EVERY CANDIDATE'S FAMILY TONIGHT AS NEWS COMES IN.

WE JUST PRAY BLESSING AND PEACE AND A SENSE OF PURPOSE FOR EACH OF THEM.

BUT WE PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE TONIGHT.

WE'RE AWARE IN THE SCRIPTURE THAT IT SAYS THAT THE THIEF COMES NOT BUT FOR TO STEAL, TO KILL AND TO DESTROY.

SO WE PRAY RIGHT NOW FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH MAKING SENSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THEM FOR THE LOSS OF LIFE THAT'S OCCURRING.

WE PRAY AGAINST THAT.

WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD BE WITH THE GOVERNMENT IN UKRAINE, BE WITH THEIR PRESIDENT.

WE PRAY MERCY UPON HIM AND HIS PEOPLE, AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE OUR LEADERS WISDOM AND THE LEADERS OF EUROPE WISDOM AS THEY WORK THROUGH THAT SITUATION.

LORD WE GIVE THANKS FOR FREEDOM.

AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE US A HEART TO APPRECIATE IT.

WE ALSO GIVE THINGS FOR JESUS, AND IT'S IN HIS NAME.

WE PRAY. AMEN.

AMEN. THANK YOU, PASTOR REED.

JOIN ME FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. Y'ALL HAVE A SEAT.

THANK YOU, PASTOR REED. WISE WORDS.

WE CERTAINLY ECHO THEM, ESPECIALLY ABOUT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN UKRAINE WHO ARE DEALING WITH A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN WE ARE TONIGHT.

[3. Southlake Business Spotlight - Fajita Pete's ]

ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE RESTAURANTS IN SOUTHLAKE AND I WON'T LIE, AND I KNOW A FAVORITE OF MANY PEOPLE ON THIS DAIS.

SO, DIRECTOR CORTEZ, ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO INTRODUCE JOHN GONZALEZ, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THIS SHORT VIDEO.

WE'RE LOCATED HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS, OFF OF 1709 AND BYRON NELSON.

AND SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FAJITA PETE'S WE SPECIALIZE OBVIOUSLY IN FAJITAS.

WE DO SO MUCH MORE.

WE ACTUALLY SELL MARGARITAS.

MAN, WE GOT TACOS, WE GOT QUESADILLAS.

WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY IN THE FAMILY, FROM ALL THE KIDS TO GRANDMA, GRANDPA.

AND AGAIN, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY FAJITA PETE'S IS SO LOVED IN THE COMMUNITY IS BECAUSE, AND I CAN TELL YOU THE MEAT HERE IS VERY VERY TENDER AS WELL.

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT. WE MAKE EVERY TORTILLA WHENEVER YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER, SO EVERYTHING'S REALLY COMING OUT FRESH, EVERYTHING AS FAR AS THE BEEF, THE CHICKEN, THE RICE, WE MAKE SMALL BATCHES IN THE MORNING JUST ENOUGH TO GET US OVER IN THE MORNING HUMP, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DO ALL OUR CATERINGS.

BUT TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON, WE'LL MAKE AGAIN ANOTHER REPEAT.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND WE'LL MAKE SOME MORE JUST TO KIND OF FILL IN THE LUNCH RUSH AND THEN OBVIOUSLY WE'LL START UP FRESH AGAIN ONCE WE DO OUR DINNER WHERE YOU'LL HAVE EVERYTHING AGAIN JUST MADE FROM SCRATCH, EVERYTHING FROM MORNING TO LUNCH TO DINNER TO WHERE IT WILL OBVIOUSLY TASTE ALL THE SAME.

I MEAN, WHAT CAN I TELL YOU ABOUT ABOUT FAJITA PETE'S? I MEAN, IT'S JUST GREAT FOOD.

HOW I ACTUALLY GOT FAMILIAR WITH IT IS THAT I'M ORIGINALLY AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF MOST PEOPLE KNOW, BUT I'M FROM HOUSTON, AND THAT'S WHERE I MET PETE.

HE USED TO BE MY CLIENT BACK WHEN I USED TO BE A BANKER, AT A PRIVATE BANK.

AND ANYWAY, SO WE USED TO CATER FROM HIM ALL THE TIME.

WHENEVER WE MOVED HERE IN 2016 TO SOUTHLAKE TWO YEARS AFTERWARDS, I FOUND OUT THAT HE STARTED FRANCHISING, SO WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY MY WIFE AND I TO BUY THE FIVE FRANCHISES FROM PETE. IT WAS JUST A GREAT, GREAT EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAD IN HOUSTON, THAT WE WANTED TO

[00:05:03]

AGAIN, I MEAN, FROM THE FRESH HAND ROLLED TORTILLAS THAT WE MAKE DAILY FROM THE RICE, THE BEANS, EVERYTHING IS MADE BY HAND FROM SCRATCH SO HOW DO YOU ORDER FAJITA PETE'S? WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN APP THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD WHERE YOU CAN DO YOUR ORDERS, HOW YOU GO IS GIVE US A CALL FOR A SPECIALIZED CATERING THAT YOU WANT US TO GO AHEAD AND DO FOR YOUR EVENT. JUST GIVE ME A CALL DIRECTLY.

AND AGAIN, I MEAN, WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, ALL OF YOUR EVENTS. ALL RIGHT, NOW THAT WE'RE NICE AND HUNGRY.

NO, THAT'S REALLY COOL, I'M GLAD YOU GUYS SPOTLIGHTED JOHN AND FAJITA PETE'S.

I KNOW THEY'RE NOT ONLY A GREAT RESTAURANT AND LOCAL BUSINESS, BUT THEY ARE VERY, VERY INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY'VE BEEN AT EVERY FESTIVAL WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST YEAR.

THEY'RE JUST VERY GENEROUS WITH THEIR TIME, VERY GENEROUS WITH THEIR FOOD, THANKFULLY.

VERY, VERY HAPPY TO FEATURE THEM TONIGHT.

SO COUNCIL ANYTHING YOU GUYS WANT TO ADD.

I JUST WANT TO SAY WE HAD THEM AS PART OF THE ROTATION EVERY WEEK DURING COVID.

AND HE'S RIGHT.

I MEAN, SOME OF THE TASTIEST MEAT YOU'RE EVER GOING TO HAVE.

AND I'M NOT THE BIGGEST FAN OF FAJITAS.

I LOVE HIS THOUGH.

I ALSO LIKE TO SAY HE'S EMBLEMATIC OF THE TYPES OF PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES I JUST LOVE AND HAVE IN THIS COMMUNITY. I MEAN, HE'S JUST EATEN UP WITH SOUTHLAKE.

HE LOVES SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE HE LOVES THE PEOPLE AND WHAT SOUTHLAKE IS ABOUT AND A GREAT BUSINESS OWNER.

I WAS BEHIND HIS CAR TWO DAYS, ONE OF HIS CARS.

AND HE HAD DESCRIPTIONS OF HOW YOU CAN ORDER THE FOOD.

I MEAN, IT WAS INCREDIBLY WELL DONE, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT WAS THE VARIOUS WAYS TO PICK UP AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY DESCRIPTIVE.

SO I'M LIKE, I REALLY LIKED HIM AND WHAT THE BUSINESS IS ABOUT AND THIS AMAZING FOOD.

SO THANKS FOR HIGHLIGHTING ONE OF MY FAVORITE BUSINESSES IN TOWN.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY, JOHN, I PERSONALLY MET HIM BEFORE HE EVEN STARTED THE BUSINESS.

AND SO I LIKE TO USE JOHN AS AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE HE FOLLOWED THE RIGHT WAY TO KIND OF FOLLOW THE PROCESS TO OPEN UP HERE LOCALLY.

AND HE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF OUR SUCCESS STORIES.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD PROBABLY JUST BRING UP TO COUNCIL AS WELL IS, YOU KNOW, AT FAJITA PETE'S, THEIR BUSINESS STRUCTURE AND THE WAY THEY'RE ORGANIZED IS IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT'S VERY COVID FRIENDLY, RIGHT? SO I WOULD JUST, YOU KNOW, TO ANYONE WATCHING, LET'S NOT FORGET THEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE PRIMARILY TARGETED TO, TO-GO.

JOHN'S BEEN SUCH A CONTRIBUTOR, AS YOU SAID, MAYOR, TO THE COMMUNITY THAT NOW THAT WE'RE KIND OF ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PANDEMIC, YOU KNOW, SOME BUSINESSES TEND TO BE FORGOTTEN NOW THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, OUT AND ABOUT AND GOING TO RESTAURANTS.

BUT JOHN'S BEEN GREAT AND A GREAT ALLY FOR THE CITY.

DEFINITELY. NO DOUBT.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, DANIEL. I APPRECIATE THE HEADS UP, MAN.

OK, MOVING ON TO WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE THE TARRANT

[4. Honors and Recognition: Tarrant County Fire Marshal Recognition ]

SO. COME ON UP.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, I'M RANDY RENOIS, TARRANT COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

AND I SPENT MOST OF THE DAY TODAY IN FRONT FOR A LITTLE WHILE IN FRONT OF A COUNTY JUDGE AND FOUR COMMISSIONERS.

SO THIS IS PRETTY COOL TODAY.

WELL THERE YOU GO. GETTING TO SEE THIS CROWD GOOD LOOKING CROWD TOO.

[LAUGHTER] I WANT TO TAKE JUST A MINUTE. A LOT OF TIMES WE HEAR THINGS ABOUT OUR EMPLOYEES THAT ARE NOT THAT GOOD AND WE HAVE TO DO SOME CORRECTIONS AND MAKE SOME CHANGES.

BUT NOT TOO OFTEN DO WE GET COMPLIMENTS AND GOOD STORIES ABOUT OUR PERSONNEL AND HOW THEY WORK AND WHAT A GREAT JOB THEY DO.

AND I WANT YOU TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO LET YOU KNOW A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE PRESENTED THIS AS THE PICTURE SHOWED A RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION TO MS. LOPEZ. SHE HELPED US OUT IN ONE OF THE FIRES.

I HAVE SOME VOCAL CORD PROBLEMS, SO I APOLOGIZE.

SHE HELPED US OUT IN ONE OF OUR FIRE INVESTIGATE, IT WASN'T A FIRE INVESTIGATION, BUT WE HAD A GENTLEMAN THAT WAS DEFRAUDING, EXCUSE ME, A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT WERE TRYING TO HAVE THE WEDDING VENUE PLANNED FOR THEIR WEDDING.

AND THERE WERE SEVERAL, OF THOSE THAT LOST MONEY AND THERE WAS A LANGUAGE BARRIER AND WE HAD A HARD TIME IN OUR INVESTIGATION.

WHAT THEY DID IS THEY TOOK OUR INSPECTION REPORT AND THEY CHANGED IT AND DOCTORED IT UP, AND I DON'T LIKE THAT.

BUT ANYWAY, WE WERE ABLE TO FIND THAT OUT AND WE NEEDED HELP AND WE REACHED OUT TO ANGIE AND OR INSPECTOR LOPEZ, AND SHE WAS WILLING TO HELP US, AND SHE WAS THE INTERPRETER FOR MY INVESTIGATOR.

VERY GOOD. KEITH EBEL, THAT'S BACK HERE AND WAS ABLE TO HELP US PUT THIS CASE TOGETHER AND TO FILE THE CASE AND HOPEFULLY HERE SOON PUT THIS GUY AWAY BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY SAD.

[00:10:04]

SHE WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO HELP US WITH THE CASE, AND I WANTED EVERY ONE OF Y'ALL TO KNOW THAT AND CHIEF.

AND KELLY, I APPRECIATE Y'ALL LETTING US BORROW HER, AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN TARRANT COUNTY. WE WE WORK TOGETHER, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH OUR ARSON ASSOCIATION AND OUR ARSON TASK FORCE. WE'RE NOT AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, AND WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT THIS TO ANGIE AND LET YOU KNOW THAT SHE'S A GOOD GAL.

YEAH, THAT'S AWESOME.

THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.

THAT'S REALLY WE ALWAYS BEAM WITH PRIDE OVER OUR EMPLOYEES.

WE THINK THEY'RE THE BEST. BUT TO HAVE OTHER FOLKS ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THEY'RE AMAZING AS WELL IS REALLY SPECIAL.

MS. LOPEZ, DO YOU CARE TO SAY ANYTHING? I THINK I HAVE TO NOW, RIGHT? SPEECH. [LAUGHTER] YEAH, WE'RE CALLING FOR A SPEECH.

NO, I JUST APPRECIATE THAT THEY TRUST ME TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR INVESTIGATION AND THEN THAT OUR LEADERSHIP ALLOWS US TO BE ABLE TO NETWORK TOGETHER WITH OTHER CITIES.

MAYOR, IF I CAN ADD SOMETHING.

OF COURSE. I JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH THE ANGIE ON OUR ART IN THE SQUARE FESTIVAL. YEAH.

SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO KEEP US SAFE OVER THE WEEKEND, WHICH IS CRITICAL.

AND SO IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH HER AND CONTINUE WORKING WITH HER.

AND IT'S NO SURPRISE TO ME THAT SHE HAS DONE THIS.

AND YEAH, SHE'S PRETTY SPECIAL.

THAT'S SO GREAT. AND SO WE'RE THE VICTIMS SPANISH SPEAKING ONLY IS THAT? SOME WERE, YES, A LARGE NUMBER WERE.

WELL, AND IT KIND OF MAKES THE CRIME EVEN MORE HEINOUS.

THEY WERE PREYING ON ON PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THEIR MONEY INTO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL AND THE FACT THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO ASSIST IN SUCH A KEY WAY IS REALLY.

YEAH. MOST OF THESE FAMILIES ALSO, I MEAN, THEY, CASH.

IT WAS ALL CASH AND IT WAS A LOT OF MONEY.

SO. SO IT WAS GOOD TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM TO, WELL, TO PUT A STOP TO IT.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WELL, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND FOR CONTINUING TO PROJECT SUCH AN INCREDIBLE IMAGE FOR THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

JOHN, ONE THING TOO I WANTED TO ADD AS WELL IS I THINK IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IN THE WORLD OF FIRE SERVICE, BUT ALSO ESPECIALLY IN THE WORLD OF SOUTHLAKE FIRE SERVICE, THE PARTNERING THAT WE DO ALL AROUND THE STATE, ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY.

AND YOU HAVE ANGIE THAT DID A PHENOMENAL JOB WITH THIS, MADE US PROUD AND HELPED OUT THE ENTIRE COUNTY AND ALL THESE FAMILIES THAT WERE IMPACTED.

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY MONTH ONE OF OUR TRUCKS IS HEADING OUT WITH TWO FIREFIGHTERS, THREE FIREFIGHTERS GOING OUT TO WEST TEXAS TO FIGHT FIRES OR GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE TO, YOU KNOW, BE HEROES AND HELP PEOPLE.

SO IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S REALLY THE CAMARADERIE OF FIRE SERVICE.

BUT IT'S ALSO VERY MUCH THE DNA OF OUR FIRE SERVICE IN SOUTHLAKE.

SO JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT COMMENT.

YEAH. WELL, SAID. ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCIL? THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANGIE. IF WE COULD JUST GIVE ANGIE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

[APPLAUSE] COUNCIL IF WE CAN GO GET A PHOTO.

SURE .

MIC] ANGIE, THANK YOU. THAT WAS JUST ABOUT TO DO THAT.

Y'ALL.

RIGHT. WELL, THAT WAS REALLY SPECIAL, LIKE I SAID, IT'S REALLY AN HONOR TO SEE OUR

[00:15:04]

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WE ARE GOING TO RECOGNIZE

[5. Honors and Recognition: Texas Historical Commission Award of Excellence in Preserving History ]

SO IF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY WANTS TO COME ON DOWN AND TELL US ALL ABOUT THIS AWARD.

IS THIS THE EXHIBIT THAT WAS ON DISPLAY IN TOWN SQUARE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS? YES. OK. AND NOW IT'S AT THE BOB JONES NATURE CENTER VISITOR CENTER.

GORGEOUS, EXHIBIT.

REALLY GREAT. THANK YOU.

AND ON OUR WEBSITE.

ALL RIGHT, TAKE IT AWAY. AND I'M ANITA ROBESON, THE HISTORIAN OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HERE WITH CONNIE COOLEY, THE PRESIDENT.

OUR EXHIBIT, WE'RE VERY PROUD OF IT.

WE'VE WON SEVERAL AWARDS.

IT SHINES LIGHT ON SOUTHLAKE'S PAST THROUGH THE LIVES OF FORMER SLAVES WHO HELPED TO LAY SOUTHLAKE'S FOUNDATION OF ENTERPRISE AND NEIGHBORLINESS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW HISTORY.

BOB AND ALMEADY'S STORY GIVES US ALL THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE CHALLENGES AND ROADBLOCKS THEY FACED AND THE ACHIEVEMENTS THEY ACCOMPLISHED.

THEY ARE PART OF THE HERITAGE OF TEXAS.

WE THANK THE CITY FOR SUPPORTING OUR EFFORTS AND IN THIS EXHIBIT AND IN OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE. THE CITY SEES THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING RESIDENTS WITH A SENSE OF PLACE GREAT CITIES DO NOT SHY AWAY FROM, BUT EMBRACE THEIR HISTORY.

THANK YOU. VERY GOOD, AND CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE AWARD, WHO GIVES THE AWARD OUT, HOW? WELL THE MOST RECENT AWARD WAS FROM THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION? VERY GOOD. IT HAS ABOUT 10 TOP AWARDS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

AND OURS, OF COURSE, WAS FOR PRESERVING HISTORY.

VERY GOOD. WELL, IT'S REALLY SPECIAL.

WE THANK YOU GUYS FOR PRESERVING THE HISTORY OF THIS CITY AND THE AREA.

THANK YOU. AND IT'S REALLY SPECIAL TO TO SEE THE EXHIBIT OF BOB AND ALMEADY CHISUM JONES BECAUSE THEY LEFT SUCH AN IMPRINT ON THE COMMUNITY FROM BUILDING THE FIRST SCHOOLHOUSE TO WORKING WITH THE FIRST CHURCHES.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND REALLY EXCITING TO SEE THE LEGACY.

AND CERTAINLY AT THE UNVEILING OF THE STATUE, I THINK IT WAS LAST FALL GETTING TO SEE THEIR FAMILY AND THEIR EXTENDED FAMILY OUT HERE.

SEEING THEIR ANCESTORS LEGACIES IS ALSO VERY, VERY SPECIAL.

AND THAT WAS THE ARTS COUNCIL.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR WORK.

COUNCIL ANYTHING TO ADD. CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING REAL QUICK? YES. I JUST HAVE TO COMMEND THEM.

ONE OF MY PROUDEST MOMENTS AS A COUNCILMAN WAS BEING HAVING BEEN A PART OF THIS.

THE REENACTMENT IN 2019, AT THE CEMETERY WHERE I WAS, I PORTRAYED MR. JONES.

AND GETTING TO MEET DESCENDANTS OF HIS.

AND I REMEMBER BEING UNNERVED AND ONE OF THE YOUNG ONE OF THE MEN WALKED UP TO ME AND LET ME KNOW I WAS, I GUESS, WHAT YOU CALL RECREATING THE LIFE OF HIS GREAT GRANDFATHER OR GREAT UNCLE OR WHATEVER. AND I WAS A LITTLE UNNERVED IN THAT I HAD MESSED UP.

AND HE SAID, NO, IT WAS ACCURATE.

HE SAID IT WASN'T COMPLETE, BUT IT WAS ACCURATE.

AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A TREMENDOUS TESTAMENT TO SOUTHLAKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY BECAUSE I CONTINUE TO HEAR THAT FROM FAMILY MEMBERS THAT THE WAY IN WHICH YOU GUYS CONTINUE TO DEPICT THE LIVES OF THE JONES FAMILY IS IMPECCABLE.

SO THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO DO THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YEAH WELL SAID.

TAKE IT AWAY, LAUREN. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE BACK IN PERSON THIS YEAR FOR THE 5TH CELEBRATE SOUTHLAKE.

IT IS LATER THIS MONTH, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

SO FRIDAY, MARCH 25TH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR FIRST COMMUNITY DINNER.

THIS HAS BEEN A DREAM THAT HAS BEEN FINALLY COMING TO FRUITION.

SO JOIN US FRIDAY NIGHT.

THE MAYOR'S ALLIANCE AND STAFF HAVE BEEN HARD WORKING TO PLAN BOTH OF THESE EVENTS, BUT THE SOUTHLAKE COMMUNITY DINNER IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.

IT'S A TIME FOR NEIGHBORS TO GATHER THERE'S GOING TO BE FOOD TRUCKS, GAMES, SOME BACKGROUND MUSIC.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE CHAMBER THERE SERVING BEER AND WINE.

AND THEN IF YOU DON'T DRINK AND OR IF YOU GOT KIDDOS WITH YOU, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A

[00:25:02]

SOME IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A REALLY GREAT TIME FOR NEIGHBORS TO GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER AND REALLY GIVE EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK BREAD.

ON SATURDAY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR TRADITIONAL SPIRIT OF SOUTHLAKE EVENT, WHICH IS OUR CULTURAL PERFORMANCES, OUR BOOTHS, THE DANCES AND DIFFERENT PERFORMANCES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AND THEN ALSO THE CHAMBER IS GOING TO BE THERE AGAIN TO ACCOMPANY OUR FOOD TRUCKS WE'LL HAVE, I BELIEVE WE'RE TRYING TO GET FIVE FOOD TRUCKS THERE.

WE'LL HAVE THE BEER AND WINE SALES WE'LL HAVE, IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY GREAT FUN EVENT.

SO BRING YOUR KIDS.

AGAIN, THIS YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO BRING BACK THE PASSPORT STAMP BOOK SO THAT THEY HAVE A FUN ACTIVITY TO GO GET THEIR PASSPORT STAMPED AROUND AT THE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

AND THEN NEW THIS YEAR, THE MAYORS ALLIANCE FOR UNITY AND CULTURE HAD THIS IDEA TO PUT TOGETHER A COMMUNITY RECIPE BOOK.

SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE OLD CHURCH COOKBOOKS THAT YOU MAY HAVE GROWN UP WITH, AND I KNOW MY FAMILY HAD SEVERAL.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE GATHERING COMMUNITY RECIPES TO COMPILE INTO THIS RECIPE BOOK.

SO THE APPLICATION FOR THAT IS ACTUALLY OPEN NOW.

YOU JUST CAN SUBMIT YOUR RECIPE ON THE WEBSITE AT CELEBRATE SOUTHLAKE OR YOU CAN BRING IT A RECIPE CARD TO THE EVENT AND SUBMIT IT THERE.

AND THEN WE'LL KEEP IT OPEN A LITTLE BIT AFTER THE EVENT JUST TO MAKE SURE WE CAN GET EVERYBODY'S RECIPES IN AND THEN PUBLISH THAT IN MID-APRIL IS OUR GOAL.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? NO, ALTHOUGH I THINK THIS IS OBVIOUSLY WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THE EVENT BACK LIVE IN PERSON. A COUPLE OF SPINS THAT THE MAYOR'S ALLIANCE HAS PUT ON THIS YEAR'S EVENT.

THE SOUTHLAKE COMMUNITY DINNER IS GOING TO BE SUPER FUN, AND I UNDERSTAND THIS WAS MAYOR HILL'S ORIGINAL VISION OF THE EVENT TO HAVE LIKE REALLY LONG PICNIC TABLES.

THE WHOLE COMMUNITY CAN COME OUT, SIT WITH FOLKS YOU MAY NOT KNOW.

YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS GET TO BREAK BREAD WITH ENJOY.

I REALLY THINK THE COOKBOOKS A COOL SPIN ON THIS, TOO, SO IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DEAL.

IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANKS, LAUREN. APPRECIATE IT. GREAT. THANK YOU.

[3. B. City Manager's Reports]

MS. YELVERTON. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE DAVID MILLER, WHO'S GOING TO TELL US ABOUT SOME SPRING BREAK ACTIVITIES THAT WE'VE GOT PLANNED.

ALL RIGHT, MR. MILLER WHAT WE GOT? ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, SPRING BREAK IS HERE.

IT'S LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY, AND I KNOW CITY STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE LIBRARY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO COME UP WITH SOME GREAT ACTIVITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES AND KIDS TO TAKE PART IN.

SO JUST GOING TO SHARE THOSE WITH YOU.

FIRST OF ALL, IN OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE OUR SPRING BREAK CAMP MANIA AND THAT'S GOING TO BE AT CHAMPIONS CLUB AND GREAT KIND OF TASTE OF WHAT THE SUMMER WILL LOOK LIKE IN CAMP MANIA SWIMMING AND JUST A LOT OF FUN ACTIVITIES THERE.

THEY'LL KIND OF TAKE OVER THAT BUILDING.

AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR NATURE CAMP SPRING BREAK CAMP AS WELL.

IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THIS PROGRAM IN ACTION, IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE TO SEE THESE KIDS GO ON HIKES. THEY GET TO MEET DIFFERENT ANIMALS THAT ARE INDIGENOUS TO TEXAS AND TAKE PART IN DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT ARE REALLY FUN.

AND THESE KIDS, YOU KNOW, THEY COME BACK YEAR AFTER YEAR AND REALLY COOL TO SEE THEM HIKING, YOU KNOW, OUT TO THE LAKE AND PARTAKING IN THOSE ACTIVITIES.

SO THOSE ARE TWO OF OUR MOST POPULAR PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS OUR PRESCHOOL PROGRAM THAT WILL BE GOING ON. AND THOSE THREE PROGRAMS ARE ACTUALLY FULL FOR SPRING BREAK, SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE GOT SOME HALF DAY CAMPS.

WE'VE GOT A DJ SCHOOL CAMP, WHICH WAS ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR CAMPS THIS LAST SUMMER.

DODGEBALL CAMP SO KIDS WILL SPEND HALF A DAY JUST PLAYING DODGEBALL AT CHAMPIONS CLUB, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A SCIENCE CAMP AS WELL.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, OBVIOUSLY CHAMPIONS CLUB WILL BE OPEN.

WE'RE ADJUSTING SOME OF THOSE HOURS SO THAT PEOPLE CAN COME OUT AND TAKE PART AND HAVE MORE OF THAT FACILITY ACCESS THAT THEY NEED AND ALWAYS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TAKE SOME TIME TO EXPLORE OUR CITY PARKS AND GO OUT TO THE NATURE CENTER AND GO ON A HIKE AS WELL.

SO THE LIBRARY'S PERSPECTIVE, THEY ALSO HAVE A TON OF GREAT ACTIVITIES WE'LL SEE HERE ON THIS SLIDE.

THEY HAVE TWO ACTIVITIES A DAY MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, SO ANYTHING FROM CHALK IN THE SQUARE AND THEN A MAGIC SHOW ON MONDAY.

ON TUESDAY, THEY WILL HAVE SOME ANIMALS FROM TEXAS COME IN AND ALSO ART.

AND THEN TUESDAY NIGHT IN RUSTIN PARK, WE HAVE A BAND CALLED BEYOND THE PALE.

AND IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BAND, THEY'RE LOCAL TO TEXAS.

THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS.

[00:30:02]

AND THEN ON THURSDAY, WE'LL CLOSE OUT THE WEEK WITH A PLAY FROM THEATER ARLINGTON AND THEN A VIRTUAL DRAWING CLASS SO THAT ONE IS REGISTRATION REQUIRED, BUT A LOT OF GREAT ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES TO PARTAKE IN.

AND I KNOW STAFF ARE EXCITED TO SEE PEOPLE OUT AND PARTICIPATING.

SO THAT IS IT.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

WELL, I REALLY APPRECIATE, ALL OF THE COUNCIL REALLY APPRECIATES Y'ALL'S HARD WORK AND GIVING SOME FOLKS SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE ACTIVITIES.

WHAT KIND OF ATTENDANCE DO YOU GUYS TYPICALLY EXPECT FOR THESE THINGS? IS IT PRETTY HEAVILY ATTENDED? SO OUR ALL DAY CAMPS AT CHAMPIONS CLUB ARE ALL SOLD OUT, SO THOSE ARE COOL.

WOW. THE NATURE CAMP IS FULL.

OUR PRESCHOOL IS FULL.

WOW. AND THOSE HALF DAY CAMPS WILL PROBABLY FILL UP AS WELL.

SO TYPICALLY THOSE ARE VERY POPULAR PROGRAMS. AND I KNOW THE LIBRARY'S PROGRAMS ARE WELL ATTENDED AS WELL.

BUT OUR CAMP MANIA, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IS ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR PROGRAMS. AND SO WE HAVE AS MANY KIDS AS WE CAN GET INTO CHAMPIONS CLUB THERE FOR THAT WEEK.

YEAH, WOW. THAT'S AMAZING.

VERY GOOD. TESTAMENT TO THE GOOD WORK YOU GUYS DO.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL? OK, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[Consent Agenda ]

OK WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEMS 4A THROUGH 4J ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

WE'VE ALREADY REVIEWED THESE ITEMS IN COUNSEL.

ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY ITEM COUNCIL? IF NOT, I WANT TO SAY A QUICK THING ABOUT ONE OF THE ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS ITEM 4 H THE TERMINATION OF THE COVID 19 DISASTER DECLARATION.

SO TONIGHT, CITY COUNCIL IS TAKING THE IMPORTANT STEP OF ENDING THE CITY'S COVID 19 DISASTER DECLARATION, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY SIGNED ON MARCH 18TH 2020 AND WE AMENDED IT ON MARCH 23RD 2020.

I WANT TO SAY JUST A COUPLE OF WORDS ABOUT THIS, SO THE THIS DECLARATION WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN PLACE AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC.

IT'S KIND OF IT'S HARD TO THINK BACK TO OUR MINDSET AT THAT TIME.

BUT IF Y'ALL REMEMBER, THERE WERE VERY CHAOTIC DAYS AND NO ONE REALLY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND NO ONE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING.

AND SO, LIKE MOST CITIES AND COUNTIES AND STATES, WE PUT IT TOGETHER A DISASTER DECLARATION QUICKLY TO GIVE US FLEXIBILITY TO RESPOND TO THE PANDEMIC.

ALL WE KNEW WAS WHAT WE WERE HEARING FROM PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITIES, AND NOTHING WE WERE HEARING WAS GOOD.

SO JUST FIVE DAYS LATER, ON MARCH 23D, BECAUSE THE STATE OF TEXAS HAD PUT A DISASTER DECLARATION IN PLACE AS WELL WE AMENDED SOUTHLAKE'S DECLARATION TO BASICALLY FOLLOW ANY RESTRICTIONS OR SPECIFICS THAT THE STATE'S DECLARATION WAS PUTTING IN PLACE BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR'S DECLARATION WAS MOVING VERY, VERY QUICKLY.

HE OBVIOUSLY HAD A HUGE PUBLIC HEALTH APPARATUS THAT HE WAS HEARING AND HEARING FROM AND SEEING. SO WE DEFERRED BASICALLY ANY RESTRICTIONS UP TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

AND WE'RE VERY THANKFUL THAT GOVERNOR ABBOTT OPENED UP OUR ECONOMY RELATIVELY QUICKLY, NOT AS QUICKLY AS WE WOULD HAVE LIKED, BUT RELATIVELY QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY RELATIVE TO A LOT OF THE OTHER STATES IN THIS COUNTRY.

AND OUR DISASTER DECLARATION HERE IN SOUTHLAKE WAS EFFECTIVELY NULL AND VOID, SO EVERYTHING DEFERRED UP TO THE STATE.

AND THAT'S WHERE IT'S BEEN SINCE MARCH 23RD OF 2020.

AND THE TIME HAS COME TO OFFICIALLY TERMINATE THIS DECLARATION.

AND YOU KNOW, I THINK SOME MIGHT BE SURPRISED THAT IT'S STILL IN PLACE BECAUSE THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE HASN'T ENACTED OTHER RESTRICTIONS SINCE THAT TIME.

BUT BECAUSE OF THIS, THE TONIGHT'S TERMINATION IS LARGELY SYMBOLIC.

IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY EFFECT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS DECLARATION.

BUT IN MY VIEW, IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT SYMBOLIC GESTURE BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS OUR GOVERNMENT TERMINATING POWERS IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO HOLD LONG TERM RIGHT.

THE DISASTER DECLARATION'S AGAIN, IN MY VIEW, ARE USEFUL, ARE VERY USEFUL FOR GOVERNMENTS TO RESPOND TO DISASTERS IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES AND FOR A LIMITED TIME.

IT IS AN IMMUTABLE HISTORICAL FACT THAT GOVERNMENT DOES NOT EASILY GIVE BACK POWER IT HAS TAKEN FOR ITSELF.

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT.

WE WILL. UNFORTUNATELY, WE SEE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND ACROSS THE WORLD THAT GOVERNMENTS ARE CONTINUING EVEN NOW TO EXERT IMPROPER AND PERHAPS TYRANNICAL POWER OVER THE CITIZENS IN THE NAME OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

BUT TONIGHT IN SOUTHLAKE, WE ARE OFFICIALLY GIVING THAT POWER BACK TO WHERE IT BELONGS, WHICH IS THE FREE CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT CITY.

SO I'M EXCITED THAT THIS IS ON THE AGENDA, THAT WE CAN TURN THE PAGE OFFICIALLY IN THIS CHAPTER IN OUR HISTORY. SO WITH THAT, MAYOR PRO TEM CHAD PATTON, IS THERE A A MOTION? YES, SIR, MAYOR, THERE IS.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK AT PUBLIC FORUM? ALL RIGHT, COME ON UP. SO WHEN YOU COME UP TO SPEAK, YOU'LL SEE LIGHTS TURN ON GREEN MEANS YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

YELLOW MEANS YOU HAVE A MINUTE LEFT.

WE HAVE A THREE MINUTE TIME CAP.

YOU CAN START BY GIVING US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, FOR THE RECORD.

ALL RIGHT. BARRY [INAUDIBLE] 428 PRESIDIO LANE.

HELLO CITY COUNCIL LAST WEEKEND, ME, JERMAINE, TYLER AND GAVIN WERE KICKING IT IN THE ABANDONED STEEPLE OFF 114.

THE NIGHT WAS NO MATCH FOR US.

WE WERE HAVING THE BEST TIME A GROUP OF BROS.

COULD ASK FOR. THEN DISASTER STRUCK PAUSE FOR EFFECT.

JERMAINE'S MOM CALLED SAID HE HAD TO BE HOME BY MIDNIGHT.

TO PUT IT SIMPLY, WE WERE DEVASTATED.

JERMAINE AND US WERE IN DISARRAY.

WE HAD NOT EVEN GOT AROUND TO THROWING ON A CHILL VIBE BEAT AND DOING OUR BEST OF FREESTYLE OVER IT.

THAT IS WHY I COME BEFORE YOU GUYS TODAY.

COUNCIL, WOULD YOU AGREE THAT YOU'VE HAD A NIGHT WHERE THE HOURS SLIPPED AWAY AND YOU SAID A SILENT PRAYER THAT THE NIGHT WOULD LAST FOREVER? WELL, IT CAN'T, BUT IT COULD HAVE LASTED LONGER IF WE SOUTHLAKE CITY COUNCIL ADD AN ADDITIONAL HOUR TO THE STANDARDIZED DAY.

ALL I ASK OF YOU, CITY COUNCIL, IS WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR HOUR? NOW I'LL LET MY COLLEAGUE TAKE THE STAND.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. COLLEAGUE, IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AS WELL.

MY NAME IS TYLER NINJA BLEVINS OF 129 MANCHESTER COURT.

WHAT UP ESTEEMED COUNCIL AS MY BRO BARRY WAS SAYING, THE ABSENCE OF JERMAINE AFTER THE CLOCK STRUCK MIDNIGHT WAS DEVASTATING TO BE RIPPED OF ONE OF MY TOP THREE HOMIES IS SOMETHING I WOULDN'T WISH UPON MY WORST ENEMY.

THE SOMBER VIBE CAN REALLY ONLY BE CAPTURED THROUGH SONG.

[SINGING] WHERE DID I GO WRONG? I LOST A FRIEND SOMEWHERE ALONG IN THE BITTERNESS, AND I WOULD HAVE STAYED UP WITH YOU ALL NIGHT. HAD I KNOWN HOW TO SAVE A LIFE.

THAT'S GOOD, IT'S REALLY GOOD. THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ABSOLUTELY.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY COULD FOLLOW THAT, BUT IF ANYONE CARES TO TRY THE PUBLIC FORUM,

[00:40:01]

SEEING NO ONE ELSE WILL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM ON THAT MELODIC NOTE.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 6A.

[6. A. Resolution No. 22-005 (ZA22-0004), Specific Use Permit for a Mass Gathering for Run4Elise on property being described as Lot 1, Block 1, Gateway Church - 114 Campus, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 700 Blessed Way, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: NR-PUD, Non-Residential Planned Unit Development District. SPIN Neighborhood #4. PUBLIC HEARING]

DIRECTOR BAKER.

MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

SIR, DO YOU PLAN ON SINGING US A SONG AS WELL? [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE THE BAR IS FAIRLY HIGH RIGHT NOW.

OF COURSE.

IF YOU DO, AT LEAST LOOK INTO OUR EYES.

[LAUGHTER] THANK YOU. IT'S A LITTLE KNOWN FACT THAT KEN WAS IN A BAND IN THE 1980'S.

OH MY GOSH, HOW DID WE NOT KNOW THIS, KEN? WAS YOUR HAIR THAT SHORT? NO, NO, NO. [LAUGHTER] OK.

PROCEED, SIR. THANK YOU MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

THE REQUEST IS APPROVAL FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A MASS GATHERING TO ALLOW A 5K ONE MILE FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR THE RUN4ELISE.

THE REQUEST IS FOR A 10 YEAR PERIOD ON THE SUP LOCATION IS A GATEWAY CHURCH CAMPUS.

COUNCIL IS, I THINK, FAMILIAR WITH THIS EVENT.

IT'S BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE APPLICATION DETAILS.

THE RACE SUPPORTS THE SWIM4ELISE MISSION OF WATER SAFETY.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE EVENT DETAILS.

THE EVENT THIS YEAR IS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 14TH.

THIS IS THE SET UP TIMES IF APPROVED, THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE ROUGHLY IN THIS TIME PERIOD DURING THE YEAR.

THIS IS THE COURSE.

THE FUN RUN, THE ONE MILE ON THE LEFT AND THEN THE 5K IS TWICE AROUND THE GATEWAY CHURCH CAMPUS, AS SHOWN ON THE RIGHT.

A COUPLE OF PHOTOGRAPHS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED NO RESPONSES ON THE SUP P&Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL 6 YEAR FOR A 10 YEAR PERIOD OF TIME, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OK, THANK YOU SO MUCH, DIRECTOR BAKER.

ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL? NO. I KNOW THE APPLICANT'S HERE.

I SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL FAMILY OF FOUR, ALONG WITH THE VERY NEWEST MEMBER OF THE CERAMI FAMILY. LORI, DAVID, BRYCE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR US? BRYCE, COME ON DOWN, MAN, BIG BROTHER.

JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, BIG MAN.

MY NAME IS BRYCE CERAMI AND I LIVE AT [INAUDIBLE] ROAD.

AND I'M NOT SINGING A SONG TONIGHT.

[LAUGHTER] THANKS FOR CLARIFYING.

YOU ALREADY KNOW MY NAME. I LIVED IN SOUTHLAKE MY WHOLE LIFE.

I'M HERE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SWIM4ELISE FOUNDATION AND THE FOUNDATION'S REQUEST FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE RUN4ELISE.

THE SWIM4ELISE FOUNDATION EXISTS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF WATER SAFETY IN HONOR OF MY OLDER SISTER ELISE. WHEN ELISE WAS 13 YEARS OLD, SHE FATALLY DROWNED AT HER CLUB SWIM PRACTICE, REGARDLESS OF HER AGE OR HER SWIMMING ABILITY, SHE WASN'T 100 PERCENT SAFE IN THE WATER.

SURPRISINGLY, KNOWING HOW TO SWIM ONLY MAKES YOU 80 PERCENT SAFE IN THE WATER, MAKING SURE SOMEONE IS WATCHING THE WATER WHILE YOU SWIM TO INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF SAFETY.

THE RUN4ELISE IS A CERTIFIED 5K AND FAMILY FRIENDLY ONE MILE FUN RUN HELD AT GATEWAY CHURCH.

THE 5K IS COUNTERCLOCKWISE TWO LOOP COURSE AROUND THE GATEWAY CAMPUS AND THE 1 MILE IS A SINGLE CLOCKWISE LOOP AROUND THE EAST PARKING LOT FROM BLESSED WAY TO KIRKWOOD.

BOTH COURSES AND AT A DOWNHILL FINISH NEAR THE CHILDREN'S ENTRANCE OF THE CHURCH.

THIS YEAR WILL BE THE SIXTH ANNUAL RUN4ELISE.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT OF THE RUN4ELISE AS IT IS THE PRIMARY FUNDRAISER THAT SUPPORTS THE WATER SAFETY EFFORTS OF THE SWIM4ELISE FOUNDATION.

THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE OUR SUMMER DAYCARE PROGRAM, WHERE WE PROVIDE FREE WATER SAFETY EDUCATION TO ALMOST FIVE THOUSAND KIDS IN DFW DAYCARE CENTERS.

WE ALSO USE THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR LIFEGUARD CERTIFICATIONS FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND CLUB SWIMMERS, AND WE PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CAMP AND COLLEGE TUITION TO WELL DESERVING SWIMMERS. THE COOL THING ABOUT OUR SCHOLARSHIPS IS THAT EVERY APPLICANT SUBMITS A WATER SAFETY SURVEY ALONG WITH THEIR ESSAYS.

THE INFORMATION IS AGGREGATED AND SENT TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.

THEY USE THE FEEDBACK TO MAKE THE SPORT OF SWIMMING BETTER ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

WITH YOUR APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE POLICY.

THE RUN FOR RELEASE WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY, MAY 14TH.

WE WANT TO SEND OUT A GIANT THANK YOU TO CORNERSTONE WEALTH AND MANAGEMENT AND LITTLE GEM OF KELLER FOR THEIR SUPPORT AS OUR 2022 TITLE SPONSORS, AND WE INVITE ADDITIONAL SPONSORS AND PARTICIPANTS TO SIGN UP FOR OUR EVENT AT RUN4ELISE.COM.

[00:45:03]

AWESOME. THANK YOU, BRYCE.

APPRECIATE IT. COULD YOU JUST TELL US ONE MORE TIME, THE DATE AND THEN THE TIME? MAY 14TH.

MAY 14TH. OK, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE AT GATEWAY CHURCH AGAIN, RIGHT? YES, SIR. OK. ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE ALL OF COUNCIL RUN? I GET TO. ABSOLUTELY. I GET TO FIRE THE GUN.

I DON'T HAVE TO RUN RIGHT? I GET TO DO THE COUNTDOWN.

YOU CAN RUN AFTER. OH, COME ON, MAN.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO START TRAINING FOR IT NOW.

THANKS, BRYCE. COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

I SAY THIS EVERY TIME I SEE BRYCE'S MOM.

MY HEART JUST GOES OUT TO THAT FAMILY, NOT JUST BECAUSE WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED, BUT WHAT THEY'VE DONE THROUGH THAT.

MY WIFE HAS ASKED EVERY MORNING UNTIL THE LITTLE BABY WAS BORN, HOW'S IT GOING? AND THE FIRST THING THAT CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH WHEN YOU SENT ME THE PICTURE AND RACHEL AGREED. I SAID THAT BABY'S FACE IS MADE FOR KISSING, [LAUGHTER] SO IT'S THE MOST EAGERLY ANTICIPATED BABY OF ALL TIME IN SOUTHLAKE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

ABSOLUTELY. AND WE LOVE YOU GUYS VERY MUCH, AND WE THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO AS A FAMILY TO GIVE BACK TO SOUTHLAKE AND GIVE BACK TO REALLY THE WHOLE STATE AND THE WHOLE COUNTRY IN WHAT YOU DO TO SAVE LIVES.

AND IT IS INCREDIBLY MEANINGFUL AND YOU GUYS KNOW IT.

AND WE WELCOMED LITTLE ISLA FOR THE FIRST TIME TO COUNCIL CHAMBER.

I KNOW IT WON'T BE THE LAST TIME.

THAT'S RIGHT. I BELIEVE SHE'S A 2-22-22 BABY, RIGHT? WELL, GOOD. WELL, COUNCIL, ANY DISCUSSION? THE 10 YEAR SUP I FEEL LIKE IS.

THAT'S THE ASK RIGHT? THE 10 YEAR SUP.

OK, THAT'S MORE THAN THE ONLY BUMMER IS WE DON'T GET TO SEE BRYCE COME UP HERE AND TELL THIS AWESOME STORY AND WATCH HIM GROW UP RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US OVER HERE.

SO, YEAH, TEN YEARS FOR SURE.

WE MIGHT BRING YOU BACK EVERY YEAR ANYWAY.

Southlake Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "CS" Community Service District. SPIN Neighborhood #11. PUBLIC HEARING]

APPLICANT LAKESIDE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IS REQUESTING THE REMOVAL OF THE CONDITION, REQUIRING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DECELERATION RIGHT TURN LANE ALONG WEST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD THAT WAS BASED ON A TRAFFIC STUDY CONDUCTED AS PART OF THE 17,000 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION BACK IN 2014.

A NEW STUDY HAS BEEN CONDUCTED BY THE CHURCH'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER, WHICH IS IN YOUR PACKET DATED JANUARY 14TH 2022 AND SHOWS THAT THE DECEL LANE IS NOT NEEDED.

THE CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT ALSO REVIEWED IT, REVIEWED THE STUDY THAT WAS SUBMITTED AND CONCURRED WITH THE FINDINGS OF THE TIA.

AND THOSE ARE IN YOUR PACKET IF NEEDED.

FUTURE LAND USE IS PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC AND ZONING IN PLACE.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW.

[00:55:01]

AND A CONDITION FROM COUNCIL WAS THAT WHEN THAT SECOND FLOOR WAS FINISHED OUT, THAT DECEL LANE WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG 1709.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE DRIVE AND THEN LOOKING DOWN 1709 THIS IS A SITE PLAN SHOWING THE EXPANSION OF THAT.

THE TIA THAT WAS SUBMITTED BACK IN 2014 SHOWED AN INBOUND PEAK OF 132 VEHICLES AND THAT EXCEEDED THE CITY'S THRESHOLD OF 100 VEHICLES, WHICH KICKED INTO THE DECEL LANE REQUIREMENT.

AN UPDATE AT TIA SHOWS THAT THAT NUMBER IS ACTUALLY CLOSER TO [INAUDIBLE] 64 ON THE INBOUND, WHICH IS WELL BELOW THE THRESHOLD TO REQUIRE THAT DECEL LANE.

BECAUSE THIS WAS A STIPULATION OR REQUIREMENT OF CITY COUNCIL AT THE TIME, WE NEED CITY COUNCIL TO REMOVE THAT STIPULATION.

BUT THE CHURCH IS REQUESTING THE REMOVAL OF THAT STIPULATION APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN AGAIN WITHOUT THAT STIPULATION IS IN THE REQUEST.

THE SUMMARY OF THE TIA IS SHOWN HERE IN THE FINDING, WHICH SHOWS THE 64 INBOUND TRIPS IS PART OF THAT STUDY.

AND AGAIN, OUR CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER FIRM ALSO LOOKED AT THAT OUR THIRD PARTY FIRM AND CONCURRED WITH THE FINDINGS OF THE TIA.

THE P&Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND THE P&Z ASKED THAT MORE DETAILS OF THE TIA BE EXPOUND UPON, IF NEEDED, BY CITY COUNCIL.

AGAIN, THEY PROVIDED THE DETAILED STUDY AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE STUDIES IF NEEDED. OK, ANY QUESTIONS OF KEN? DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT. PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE? DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION, YOU WISH TO GIVE? [LAUGHTER] ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME, GUYS, AGAIN, PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME IF YOU WANT TO HANG AROUND.

IF THERE ISN'T ANY MORE DISCUSSION, THOUGH, LET'S GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION.

OK. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE, WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 6C OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ZA22-0009, WHICH IS A SITE PLAN FOR LAKESIDE PRESBYTERIAN ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 13R1 JG ALLEN NUMBER 18 ADDITION, AN ADDITION TO CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND LOCATED AT 2701 WEST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.

THIS IS A COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT.

THIS IS SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED FEBRUARY 22ND 2022 AND THE SITE PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER 1 DATED FEBRUARY 11TH 2022.

THIS IS NOTING THE APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN AND BASED ON THE TRAFFIC DATA SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT'S ENGINEER AND REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER, REMOVING THE CONDITION THAT THE FM 1709 RIGHT HAND DECELERATION LANE BE CONSTRUCTED.

YOU HAVE A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND.

SECOND. WE HAVE A SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE AND THIS ITEM PASSES 7 0.
