[3. Southlake Business Spotlight - Dogtopia ]

AND TODAY'S BUSINESS IS DOGTOPIA.

AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE STEPHANIE CLAYTON HERE BECAUSE MR. DANIEL IS SICK, I HEAR.

HE IS, UNFORTUNATELY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, STEPHANIE, WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU TAKE IT AWAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. WELL, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR HUFFMAN AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS STEPHANIE CLAYTON. AS HE MENTIONED, I'M THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST FOR THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

FOR THIS MONTH'S BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE PRIVILEGE OF MEETING THE OWNERS OF DOGTOPIA.

THEIR NAMES ARE JAMIE AND SHERMAN HEATH.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WILL GO AHEAD AND.

HEY THERE, DOG LOVERS.

MY NAME IS SHERMAN HATCH, AND THIS IS MY WIFE, JAIME HATCH.

AND WE ARE THE OWNERS OF DOGTOPIA OF SOUTHLAKE.

WE ARE A DAY CARE BOARDING AND SPA FACILITY FOR DOGS.

WE REALLY LOVE OUR DOGS AND WANTED TO GET INTO THIS BUSINESS BECAUSE OUR FOCUS IS EDUCATION, SOCIALIZATION AND EXERCISE WITH DOGS. WE HAVE VARIOUS ROOMS DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE DOG THAT WE BUILT.

HERE AT DOGTOPIA, WE SPECIALIZE IN OUR SOCIALIZATION, EDUCATION AND EXERCISE OF YOUR PUP.

THIS COMBINATION OF ENRICHMENT ALLOWS YOUR PUP TO BECOME A BALANCED CANINE CITIZEN.

DAYCARE BUILDS CONFIDENCE AND COMFORT AROUND OTHER DOGS, AND WE SHOW SOME PEOPLE THAT IT'S POSSIBLE, WHICH THEY SOMETIMES DON'T THINK IT COULD BE.

[00:05:10]

THIS IS A PLACE FOR THEM TO THRIVE AND LIVE A HEALTHIER, HAPPIER LIFE.

WE SPEAK DOG, SO WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO BRING YOUR DOGS DOWN FOR THE BEST DAY OF THEIR LIFE IN DOG DAYCARE.

OUR ADDRESS IS 2225 WEST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, SUITE 459.

WE ARE RIGHT ON THE CORNER OF DAVIS AND SOUTHLAKE BLVD.

WITH OUR LOCATION BEING SO CONVENIENT AT THAT INTERSECTION, IT MAKES THE DROP OFF AND PICKUP SO EASY FOR YOU.

IT'S THE MOST PRODUCTIVE PART OF YOUR DAY.

ALL RIGHT. AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE.

WELL, I REMEMBER THEM COMING THROUGH FOR I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS AN SEP OR WHAT, BUT I REMEMBER THEM COMING THROUGH.

SO WE'RE EXCITED. THEY'RE UP AND RUNNING.

IT'S A FUN LITTLE SPACE. ARE THE OWNERS HERE BY ANY CHANCE? ARE THE OWNERS HERE BY ANY CHANCE? NO, I DO NOT BELIEVE SO.

I WAS GOING TO ASK THEM. ONE OF OUR DOGS IS A REDBONE COONHOUND, AND HE'S BEEN KICKED OUT OF JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY CARE HE GOES TO.

I'M SURE HE'D BE MORE THAN WELCOME.

IT WAS A BLAST FILMING.

I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL COULD TELL, BUT I APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S TIME.

ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCIL? THANK YOU, MS. STEPHANIE. APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

[4. Southlake Kids Interested in Leadership (SKIL) Annual Update ]

AND SO I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS, PILAR SCHANK.

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A VIDEO AND MAYBE SOME PRESENTATION FROM SOME OF THE KIDS.

YEAH. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO GLAD TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

NORMALLY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR PAYTON.

SORRY, DANIEL CORTEZ JUST GOT AN UPGRADE.

DANIEL CORTEZ WOULD BE HERE.

UNFORTUNATELY, HE'S UNDER THE WEATHER BUT HE DID WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT HE IS VERY EXCITED FOR THE SKIL RECEPTION THAT'S COMING UP AT THE END OF THIS MONTH THAT, OF COURSE, ALL OF YOU ARE INVITED TO.

TONIGHT, THOUGH, I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF PRESENTING THE FOLLOWING VIDEO, WHICH THE SKIL STUDENTS BEHIND ME PUT TOGETHER DETAILING THEIR JOURNEY THROUGHOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

BECOME A MORE CONFIDENT VERSION OF MYSELF, AND THE PROGRAM HAS ALLOWED ME TO BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOME OF MY CLASSMATES.

ONE THING IN PARTICULAR THAT STUCK OUT TO ME WAS OUR TRIP TO AUSTIN.

IT WAS AN AMAZING DAY THAT I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED HAD I NOT BEEN IN SKIL.

I'M MEETING. IT WAS SO FUN BECAUSE DANIEL GAVE US A CERTAIN BUDGET, BUT WE ALSO HAD TO ACCOMPLISH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TASKS WITH THAT BUDGET.

SO IT WAS REALLY FUN TO HEAR EVERYONE ARGUING AND NEGOTIATING ABOUT HOW TO SPEND THE BUDGET AND WHAT WERE THE PRIORITIES VERSUS WHAT WERE THINGS THAT WE COULDN'T NECESSARILY AFFORD TO DO THIS YEAR.

AND I LOVE THIS PROJECT SO MUCH BECAUSE IT ACTIVELY ENGAGED ALL OF US AND WE ALL GOT A CHANCE TO ACT LIKE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

AND WE ALSO GOT A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND GOT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO DO SOMETHING THAT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD HAVE TO DO.

DURING SKIL ONE REALLY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAD WAS WE GOT TO ACTUALLY GO TO THE FIRE STATION AND SEE THE FIREFIGHTERS AND ALL OF THEIR EQUIPMENT.

THIS IS REALLY UNIQUE BECAUSE NORMALLY WE DON'T REALLY GET TO SEE THE WORKINGS INNER WORKINGS OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

BUT HERE WE ACTUALLY GOT TO GO SEE THESE WORKERS AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND IT WAS A REALLY HANDS ON EXPERIENCE.

WE GOT TO GO SEE INSIDE A SWAT VEHICLE AND SEE ALL THE POLICE CARS.

AND OVERALL, IT WAS A BLAST.

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST TIMES I'VE HAD WHILE I'M IN SKIL.

AND I REALLY GOT TO KNOW ON A DEEPER LEVEL WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING AND FOR THE CITIZENS OF SOUTHLAKE.

AND I ALSO GOT TO KNOW HOW HARD THEIR JOB IS AND HOW NECESSARILY IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME, TRAINING, HI, MY NAME IS NISA, I'M A JUNIOR AND I'M A PART OF SKIL THIS YEAR.

SKIL HAS DEFINITELY BEEN A VERY, VERY MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AND I'VE LEARNED A LOT.

I THINK MY FAVORITE MEMORY THOUGH, SO FAR HAS TO BE GOING TO AUSTIN, ACTUALLY, JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.

I LEARNED A LOT. I GOT TO SEE A LOT OF FUN PLACES LIKE THE CAPITOL BUILDING, THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION, AND TO SEE SOME ARCHIVES.

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY FUN.

HI, I'M MY FAVORITE PART OF THE SKIL PROGRAM WAS THE PART WITH TD AMERITRADE AND THE MENTORS THERE.

I THINK BEING ABLE TO WORK ON A YEARLONG PROJECT WITH THEM ALLOWED ME TO LEARN A LOT OF NEW THINGS AND I HAD A LOT OF FUN WHILE DOING IT TOO.

[00:10:01]

WHAT I ENJOY MOST ABOUT WORKING IN SKIL THIS YEAR WAS PROBABLY THE WORK THAT WE DID WITH TD AMERITRADE.

WE GOT TO WORK IN GROUPS TO REFINE OUR PRESENTATION SKILLS AND TO WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO AN ACTUAL PROBLEM.

AND WE GOT TO WORK WITH SOME AMAZING MENTORS ALONG THE WAY, AND I THINK IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT I'VE HAD SO FAR.

HI, MY NAME IS SIDNEY.

I AM A CLASS OF 2023 JUNIOR AND I WENT TO AUSTIN WITH SKIL THIS YEAR.

IT WAS HONESTLY SUCH A FUN EXPERIENCE.

WE DID, IN FACT WAKE UP AT 3 A.M.

IN THE MORNING. SO THAT WAS INTERESTING.

BUT THEN THE SIX OF US AND PRINCIPAL WILSON THAT GOT TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE VERY TIPPY TOP, AND IT WAS SUPER SCARY, BUT THE VIEW WAS AWESOME.

THEN WE TOOK A TOUR OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING.

WE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNMENT, AND IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EXPERIENCES.

SKIL AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN SUCH AN AWESOME PROGRAM, BUT THAT WAS JUST THE CHERRY ON TOP OF THE END OF THE YEAR.

ALL RIGHT. VERY COOL.

SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO.

WE CAN ALSO BRING UP OUR SKIL STUDENTS.

SURE. AS WELL AS PRINCIPAL RYAN WILSON.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, PRINCIPAL WILSON.

FOLKS, Y'ALL WANT TO COME ON UP.

AND IF ANYBODY WANTS TO GIVE US KIND OF A QUICK RUNDOWN OF SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR, WE'D LOVE TO HEAR IT.

YES. MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH THESE AMAZING JUNIORS OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.

AND THANK YOU FOR DANIEL CORTEZ.

SILLY ME.

I THOUGHT THAT AROUND OCTOBER THAT THIS WAS HIS ONLY JOB BECAUSE HE PUTS SO MUCH EFFORT INTO THESE KIDS AND INTO THIS PROGRAM.

AND AT SOME POINT I REALIZED IT'S LIKE AN EXTRA OF HIS ALREADY DOUBLE DOWN DUTIES THAT HE DOES HERE FOR THE CITY.

AND SO THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY THAT DANIEL'S NOT WITH US TONIGHT, BUT HE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN WITH US FOR QUITE SOME TIME OVER THE COURSE OF THIS ENTIRE YEAR.

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALSO FOR WHAT THE SKIL PROGRAM IS FOR CARROLL ISD AND THE EXAMPLE THAT IT IS FOR A PRINCIPAL, LIKE MYSELF AT THE SENIOR HIGH WORKING TO ESTABLISH MORE MENTORING OPPORTUNITIES WITH MORE BUSINESSES FOR THESE STUDENTS.

WHAT THE SKIL GROUP HAS WITH TD AMERITRADE, WHAT THAT PARTNERSHIP HAS BEEN AND HOW IT'S BEEN FOSTERED OVER THE YEARS, I THINK IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE KIDS OF CARROLL HIGH AND CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE IN A RATHER ABUNDANCE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE NUMBER OF BUSINESSES IN THE AREA.

I KNOW THERE'S MORE FOLKS OUT THERE LIKE TD AMERITRADE THAT WOULD SO WONDERFULLY WANT TO PARTNER WITH THESE AMAZING KIDS.

AND SO I SEE IT WITH FRESH LENS AS AN AMAZING EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE A GREAT DEAL MORE OF.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO PARTNERING WITH THE CITY FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE KIDS ON DOWN THE LINE.

OTHER COMMENTS FROM YOU AMAZING STUDENTS.

ANYBODY WISH TO HOP ON THE MICROPHONE TO SPEAK TO YOUR EXAMPLE, TO YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH TD AMERITRADE OR OTHERWISE.

YEAH.

FOR ALL THOSE THAT ARE LISTENING IN SHREYA, COME ON.

YEAH, COME ON OVER.

SO PEOPLE CAN, NO PRESSURE, BUT PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU ON TV.

THERE YOU GO. OH, LOVELY.

I JUST WANTED TO SHARE SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY ENCOMPASSING OF THE IDEA OF SKIL.

AND IT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE VERY FIRST DAYS WE MET FOR THE FIRST TIME.

DANIEL WENT THROUGH AND ASKED ALL OF US, WHAT ARE YOU WANTING TO DO WHEN YOU ARE OLDER? WHAT IS THE CAREER PATH YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? AND THEN PROCEEDED TO INDIVIDUALLY TELL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US WHY THAT SPECIFIC CAREER PATH NEEDED LEADERSHIP AND WHAT LEADERSHIP WOULD DO IN THAT SPECIFIC FIELD.

AND THEN PROCEEDED TO EXPLAIN TO US THE VALUE OF LEADERSHIP AND JUST OUTSIDE OF YOUR CAREER, WHAT THAT MEANS TO BE A GOOD PERSON AND TO GIVE BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS IN JUST A DAY TO DAY ACTIONS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS AND OBSERVING OTHERS AND THOSE AROUND YOU.

AND THAT IS THE EXPERIENCE THAT I THINK SKIL GAVE ME AND VERY SPECIFIC TO GOVERNMENT AND LEADERSHIP WITHIN SOUTHLAKE, WHICH I LOVED.

SO VERY WELL SAID.

WELL, THAT'S GREAT. WE ARE CONSISTENTLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS GROUP OF FOLKS.

YOU GUYS ARE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SKILLS LIKE ANYTHING ELSE YOU GET OUT OF IT WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT AND ALL OF YOU REALLY PUT IN A WHOLE LOT OF EFFORT.

IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS GETTING TO SEE YOU AT YOUR PRESENTATIONS AND SEEING YOU ON THIS VIDEOS AND THE WORK PRODUCT THAT YOU CHURNED OUT IS JUST GREAT.

SO SKIL'S CONTINUES TO ATTRACT THE BEST OF THE BEST AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SUPPORT YOU PRINCIPAL WILSON.

COUNCIL ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I DO. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE.

FIRST, I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE PRINCIPAL WILSON.

I THINK HE'S JUST A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT LEADERSHIP IS ALL ABOUT.

AND HE DOES THAT THROUGH HIS GRACIOUS MENTORSHIP.

RIGHT. AND I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING HIM FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, BOTH AS A MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AND NOW AS A SENIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL.

AND I THINK YOU GUYS ARE IN WONDERFUL HANDS.

[00:15:01]

SO, PRINCIPAL WILSON, THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY.

WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THIS LEADERSHIP ROLE.

AND IT'S JUST GREAT TO SEE YOU WITH THESE KIDS.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

REALLY APPRECIATE IT. VERY GOOD.

I'LL JUST PILE ON A LITTLE BIT OF MR. WILSON LOVE. I GOT TO KNOW MR. WILSON IN 2015, THE YEAR AFTER I MOVED HERE AND DURING THE CLASS WHEN I WENT THROUGH CLASS AND I REMEMBER TEXTING A FRIEND OF MINE SAYING, WHO IS THIS GUY? AND SHE'S LIKE, HE'S THE REAL DEAL.

SO I'M SO HAPPY THAT HE GETS TO BE AT HIS FIRST YEAR AT THE SENIOR HIGH WITH MY DAUGHTER, WHO'S A SKIL MEMBER.

AND SO I WAS TICKLED TO DEATH THAT SHE GOT TO ACCOMPANY HIS LEADERSHIP, AS CHAD TALKED ABOUT, COUNCILMAN PATTON TALKS ABOUT, IS SECOND TO NONE.

I'M THRILLED THAT BOTH MY DAUGHTERS WILL HAVE YOU AT THE SENIOR HIGH.

BUT THIS IS AN AMAZING PROGRAM.

THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO APPLY THE DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH TO GET INTO THIS PROGRAM.

I MEAN, IT'S IT'S AMAZING, BUT IT'S EMBLEMATIC OF THE TYPE OF KIDS THAT WE HAVE IN CARROLL ISD, THE COMMUNITY WE HAVE THE PARENTS THAT ARE RAISING JUST SOME AMAZING, AMAZING INTELLECTUAL KIDS WHO ARE JUST GREAT PEOPLE AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU ALL FOR STEPPING UP AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROGRAM.

YEAH. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO ADD.

THANK YOU, PRINCIPAL WILSON.

AND IT WAS JUST AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TOO.

COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH AND I ATTENDED YOUR TD AMERITRADE PRESENTATION AND I KNOW HE WAS TOO.

I WAS SO IMPRESSED AT YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AT YOUR PRESENTATION SKILLS, AND JUST HOW YOU BROUGHT ALL THAT TOGETHER IN FRONT OF THOSE FOLKS AT A PRETTY BIG IMPORTANT COMPANY IN OUR AREA. SO AND ALSO IT WAS KIND OF COOL TO LEARN AFTERWARDS.

I HAD A FEELING THAT A LOT OF YOU ARE DEBATERS AND BECAUSE I COACHED DEBATE FOR TEN YEARS AND SURE ENOUGH, IT'S ANOTHER GREAT CLASS, IN MY OPINION, THAT REALLY GIVES YOU PRESENTATION SKILLS THAT YOU WOULD OTHERWISE MAY NOT HAVE.

SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE ALL OF THAT COME TOGETHER AND DEFINITELY FUTURE LEADERS.

YEAH. YEP.

YEAH. WELL SAID. WELL, THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN FOR BEING HERE.

REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR PARTICIPATION AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING YOU DOWN THE LINE.

THANKS, PRINCIPAL WILSON AND YOU GUYS.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE, RIGHT, PILAR? OKAY. SO IF Y'ALL HANG OUT, WE'LL COME DOWN AND WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE.

ALL RIGHT. VERY COOL.

WELL, THANK YOU, GUYS. AND WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS A SOUTHLAKE SANCTUARY UPDATE.

[5. Southlake Sanctuary Update ]

TAKE IT AWAY, SIR.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS EVENING, I'M PROUD TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A QUICK UPDATE ON YOUR REQUEST TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF CONSTRUCTING A SANCTUARY TYPE STRUCTURE WITHIN BOB JONES PARK.

SO THE GRAPHIC HERE'S A VISUAL DEPICTION OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED THUS FAR.

[00:20:03]

SO DIRECTOR TRIBBLE AND I ALSO TOOK SOME TIME TO MEET WITH MR. AND MRS. SHINER ON MARCH 7TH, AND THE MAIN QUESTIONS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THOSE MEETINGS HAD TO DO WITH SCOPE AND FEASIBILITY OF A PROJECT LIKE THIS BEING COMPLETED OUT AT BOB JONES PARK.

FOR THIS REASON, A SITE ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED WITH STUDIOOUTSIDE, WHICH IS THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN FIRM.

HAD ONE QUICK FOLLOW UP MEETING WITH THE SMALL GROUP.

AND THAT BRINGS US HERE TO THIS EVENING.

SO THE SITE ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED WITH THE FOCUS BEING ON LOCATING POSSIBLE SITES WHERE A PROJECT LIKE THIS COULD BE DONE.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, SIX LOCATIONS WERE EVALUATED, ALL WITH THE CRITERIA, CONSIDERING THINGS LIKE FLOODPLAIN PROXIMITY TO INFRASTRUCTURE, OVERALL EXPERIENCE, AND THEN ANY FORESEEN IMPACTS THAT IT MAY HAVE ON THE EXISTING HABITAT.

THE RESULTS OF THE SITE ANALYSIS CONCLUDED THAT THERE WERE THREE VIABLE LOCATIONS SEEN HERE ON THIS SLIDE THEY'RE IN GREEN.

AND IT'S WORTH QUICKLY NOTING THAT THE HILLSIDE AND RIDGETOP LOCATIONS ARE BASICALLY IN THE SAME SPOT.

THEY WOULD JUST HAVE DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS BY DESIGN.

THEY'RE ALSO MUCH CLOSER TO THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE BOB JONES NATURE CENTER, AS INDICATED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THIS SLIDE.

SO HERE IS A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF WHERE WE LOOK TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE COUNCIL SUMMER WORKSHOP BEING THE DECISION POINT FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, IF THE COUNCIL DOES DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD AT THAT TIME, WE'LL TAKE THE TIME TO CREATE A TASK FORCE, MUCH LIKE THE LIBRARY TASK FORCE THAT'S CURRENTLY IN EXISTENCE.

SO IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE COUNCIL HAS AMPLE INFORMATION TO MAKE THE DECISION AT SUMMER WORKSHOP, THE STAFF WILL OBVIOUSLY BE PUTTING IN WORK INTO GATHERING DATA AND THESE RESEARCH CONSIDERATIONS HAVE BEEN PUT TOGETHER.

SO. WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

AND IF YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT'S NOT LISTED HERE UNDER THESE CONSIDERATIONS OR WOULDN'T FALL UNDER ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES, I'D LIKE TO GET YOUR OPINION ON THAT AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE LOOK INTO THOSE ITEMS PRIOR TO YOUR DECISION POINT AT SUMMER WORKSHOP.

YEAH. WELL, THANKS ROBERT I APPRECIATE IT.

AND THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBERS WILLIAMSON, PATTON AND ROBBINS FOR WORKING ON THIS.

THIS IS CERTAINLY WOULD BE A VERY MEANINGFUL PROJECT FOR THE CITY AND A VERY POTENTIALLY IMPACTFUL.

I GUESS I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WORKED ON THIS.

WE TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE WORKSHOP.

WE TALKED ABOUT SOMETHING MORE IN THE LINES OF AN EVENT VENUE, KIND OF A LARGER SCALE.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT SOME MAYBE A STRIPPED DOWN, KIND OF NOT STRIPPED DOWN, BUT MORE LIKE A CHAPEL IN THE WOODS KIND OF PLACE TO PRAY.

DID YOU GUYS KIND OF CONSIDER ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT OPTIONS OR WHAT DIRECTIONALLY? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU GUYS ARE? YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT ALL THOSE.

AND I THINK THAT THE GIST WITH US OR THE KIND OF DECISION FOR US WAS GO BIG OR GO HOME ON THIS DEAL.

I MEAN, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE STRIPPED DOWN.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE MINIMALIST.

I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO SEAT 250 TO 300 PEOPLE AND BE SOMETHING THAT IS TRULY A DRAW TO THE CITY.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT IT COULD BE THE WEDDING CAPITAL OF NORTH TEXAS KIND OF THING.

I MEAN, IT'S I THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL AND I THINK THERE'S A HUGE MARKET FOR IT OUT THERE.

I MEAN, I'VE GOT FOUR WEDDINGS HERE IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS AND THEY'RE ALL AT PLACES FOREVER AWAY FROM HERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THESE PLACES ARE RIGHT NOW.

SO I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WOULD DRAW PEOPLE TO CITY, TO THE TOWN.

YEAH. SO, YOU KNOW, MY THOUGHTS ON IT ARE IT'S ABSOLUTELY A VERY COOL PROJECT AND SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK SERIOUSLY AT AS WE HAVE BEEN AS THE WORK TEAM HAS.

YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION, AS IT ALWAYS DOES ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS, OKAY, SO NOW WE'RE AT THIS POINT, THE BOTTOM RIGHT DEPICTS EVERYTHING COST, COST, COST.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? PUBLIC, PRIVATE KIND OF PARTNERSHIP, WHAT PERCENTAGE IS AND THEN WHAT HAS TO BE GIVEN UP IN ORDER TO DO IT? AND THOSE ARE THE HARD DECISIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT, I THINK, BETWEEN NOW AND THEN IS, YOU KNOW, IF THIS GOES INTO A CAPITAL PROJECT, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE'S A BUDGET.

[00:25:01]

CONCEPTUALLY, IF WE HAD A BOTTOMLESS BAG OF MONEY, IT'S A NO BRAINER.

IT'S FANTASTIC.

AND I AGREE WITH COUNCILMEMBER ROBBINS.

IT HAS GREAT POTENTIAL.

WE DON'T HAVE AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF MONEY.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IS HOW DO WE DO IT? YEAH, FOR SURE. YEAH. I WOULD CONCUR WITH BOTH COUNCILMAN WILLIAMSON AND ROBBINS HERE.

I THINK AND THE IDEA IS FOR US TO KIND OF DO SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD ALL BE VERY PROUD OF THAT WOULD DRAW INDIVIDUALS TO THIS LOCATION, WHETHER IT'S FOR AN EVENT LIKE A WEDDING, OR IF IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND SOME TIME THERE IN PRIVATE AND QUIET TIME.

I THINK WE DO NEED TO LOOK AT THIS AS KIND OF THE LARGER SCALE MAXIMUM OPPORTUNITY.

AND THEN TO COUNCILMAN WILLIAMSON'S PERSPECTIVE, IF WE NEED TO SCALE BACK AND LOOK AT VERSION 2.0 OR WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE TO ACCOMMODATE SOMETHING THAT IS STILL WITHIN THE QUALITY AND DELIVERABLE THAT WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE IN SOUTHLAKE AND STILL IS ABLE TO MEET OUR NEEDS ON A DIFFERENT SCALE FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE.

AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ENTERTAIN THAT AS WELL.

SO ALL THAT BEING SAID IS WE'RE STILL FAR FROM LANDING AS TO WHAT THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE YET AND WHAT THE BUDGETS LOOK LIKE AND WHERE THE DOLLARS COME FROM.

AND I KNOW MS. JACKSON HAS BEEN WORKING ON SOME PRELIMINARY, JUST GENERAL IDEAS ON WHERE FUNDS COULD POTENTIALLY COME FROM, BUT FROM A BUDGETARY PERSPECTIVE, I KNOW DIRECTOR TRIBBLE AND TEAM ARE JUST GETTING STARTED, SO THERE'S A LOT TO CONSIDER.

I THINK AS YOU LOOK ON HERE, THE OPERATIONAL IMPACTS, THE CONSTRUCTION DESIGN, THE FUNDING POSSIBILITIES AND THEN JUST THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS.

RIGHT. IF WE'RE GOING TO AIR CONDITION THIS THING, HEATING AND COOLING, RIGHT.

IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BATHROOMS ON SITE.

HOW FAR ARE THE UTILITIES FROM WHERE WE'D BE CONSIDERING BUILDING SOMETHING LIKE THIS? RIGHT. THERE'S JUST A LOT OF VARIABLES THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANSWERS TO YET.

BUT DIRECTIONALLY, I THINK IT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT RANDY ROBBINS IS SAYING IS THAT LET'S SHOOT FOR SOMETHING MEANINGFUL HERE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOUBT THERE IS A PENT UP DEMAND FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN OUR AREA.

AND THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT FROM A COST RECOVERY PERSPECTIVE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO PICK UP QUITE A BIT, NOT JUST IN WHAT WE'RE SPENDING TO DELIVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT THE OVERALL IMPACT THAT WILL HAVE IN THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY AS IT RELATES TO THE RESTAURANTS AND THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MEASURE AND EVALUATE.

BUT SO FAR SO GOOD AS IT RELATES TO THE IDEA AND CONCEPT.

AND I THINK STAFF IS DOING A WONDERFUL JOB ON PRESSING FORWARD AS EFFICIENTLY AND QUICKLY AS WE CAN.

BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED.

YEAH FOR SURE. YEAH, ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? I MEAN, I LIKE THE IDEA OF SOMETHING BIGGER.

MY FEAR WITH THIS SORT OF THING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE GET INTO COST AND TALK ABOUT WHERE THIS ACTUALLY FALLS ON THE PRIORITY LIST, A BIGGER PROJECT, YOU KNOW, ENDS UP GETTING PUSHED SOONER THEN, ESPECIALLY WITH THE GIGANTIC CAPITAL NEEDS THAT WE HAVE COMING UP.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES WORKING ON THIS.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN OPTION FOR SOMETHING SMALLER IF WE YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IF WE GET INTO THIS AND THIS IS A FOUR OR FIVE OR $6 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUSHING IT OFF TO THE OUT YEARS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S WHEN WE SAY, OKAY, WELL, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO TO HAVE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE.

THAT'S RIGHT. YES. SERENE KIND OF A CHAPEL TYPE OF FEELING.

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU.

I WOULD SAY THE ONE VARIABLE THAT WE HAVEN'T CONSIDERED HERE, OR WE ARE CONSIDERING KIND OF BEHIND THE SCENES IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE MENTIONED THAT THERE'S ANOTHER FAMILY INVOLVED HERE THAT HAS A LOT OF INTEREST IN THIS AND THEY CONTINUE TO EXPRESS THEIR DESIRE TO BE ABLE TO FINANCIALLY CONTRIBUTE.

THAT'D BE GREAT. AND SO LOOKING FOR WAYS THAT IT CAN BE OFFSET, THE EXPENSES FROM DONATIONS, FROM FUNDRAISING EFFORTS.

YEAH WHICH WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

SO WE NEED TO CONSIDER THAT AS WELL.

SO AGAIN, A LOT A LOT OF VARIABLES THERE.

PERHAPS TOO, BETWEEN NOW AND THE SUMMER WORKSHOP, WE COULD SEE SOME OF THE REVENUE MODELS BECAUSE AS FAR AS RECAPTURE, IT'S DIFFERENT.

IT'S DIFFERENT THAN PLACES LIKE CHAMPIONS CLUB, WHERE YOU HAVE A FULL STAFF SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND MEMBERSHIPS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

I MIGHT NOT BE AN EXPERT ON THIS.

IT'S NOT A HIGH STAFFING SITUATION.

THE STAFFING HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE AN EVENT.

YOU WOULD HAVE MINIMAL STAFFING YOU KNOW YOU'D HAVE SOME CLIMATE CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE OF THE BUILDING, BUT THAT'S VERY MINIMAL COMPARED TO SOMETHING LIKE [INAUDIBLE].

SO WHAT DOES THAT REVENUE MODEL LOOK LIKE AS FAR AS BEGINNING TO RETRIEVE FUNDS AND HOW DOES IT PAY FOR, YOU KNOW, FINANCING AND THAT TYPE OF THING? THAT'S THE PIECE THAT I'LL BE VERY INTERESTED IN IS HOW DOES THAT MODEL LOOK?

[00:30:04]

I MEAN, I'M JUST ENVISIONING I DON'T KNOW WHAT PARKING IS FOR BOB JONES.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW? IT'S CURRENT PARKING IS ABOUT 180.

180? CURRENTLY TRIBBLE WE LANDED SOMEWHERE IN THAT BALLPARK.

I MEAN, JUST THE SQUARE FOOTAGE YOU'D HAVE TO EAT UP GETTING ENOUGH PARKING FOR THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE.

I BELIEVE WE'RE RIGHT AT ABOUT 100 PARKING SPACES THERE CURRENTLY.

YEAH. THAT ARE PAVED, AND THEN WE HAVE OTHER AREAS WHERE WE HAVE OVERFLOW PARKING.

SO I THINK THAT DEPENDING ON WHICH ONE YOU LOOK AT AND I THINK THE THE HILLSIDE AND THE RIDGETOP SEEM TO BE THE AREAS WHERE WE'RE CONSIDERING.

THE NATURE CENTER CAN CERTAINLY HANDLE A LITTLE BIT MORE PARKING.

I DON'T THINK WE WOULD WANT TO SEE A SEA OF PARKING, BUT I THINK IT CAN BE WORKED INTO THE NATURE CENTER WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.

AND JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PARKING AT A DIFFERENT SPOT AND KIND OF WALKING DOWN TO THIS FACILITY.

WE'RE NOT PUTTING PARKING AROUND THIS FACILITY AT LEAST AT THESE LOCATIONS.

SO IT'S REALLY UTILIZING WHAT WE'VE GOT ALREADY.

AND MAYBE ONE OTHER SUGGESTION, WOULD BE BETWEEN NOW AND SUMMER WORKSHOP, PERHAPS STAFF AS THEY GET SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO IT TOO, CAN BRIEF COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, IN INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS OR SMALL GROUP MEETINGS SO THAT AT SUMMER WORKSHOP, A LOT OF TIMES A PROJECT LIKE THIS, THERE'S A LOT TO DIGEST.

AND SO IF THERE'S A DECISION BEING LOOKED FOR THAT NIGHT, THAT MIGHT BE MORE OF A CHALLENGE UNLESS THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A COUPLE OF WEEKS OUT.

HERE'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE PLANNING ON PRESENTING SO THAT PEOPLE CAN CHEW A BIT ON THAT.

PROBABLY MAKES SENSE TO DO A WORKSHOP, MAYBE THE SECOND MEETING IN JUNE.

PERHAPS YEAH. MAYBE DO ANOTHER WORKSHOP ON THIS.

SURE. IS THAT OKAY SHANA. YEAH.

AND JUST IN GENERAL, LET'S NOT GET MARRIED TO ANY ONE PARTICULAR VISION OR CONCEPT BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW.

YEAH. IF THIS THING GOES, I MEAN, I KNOW SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY NUMBERS COMING BACK FOR PUBLIC WORKS AND SOME OTHER FACILITIES.

IT'S NOTHING'S CHEAP RIGHT NOW SO.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT OUR COSTS TEND TO BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER MUNICIPAL COSTS VERSUS PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

AND SO I THINK THIS IS IT COULD BE AN EXPENSIVE VENTURE.

SO WE JUST NEED TO BE SENSITIVE THAT I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU.

BUT IT SURE WOULD BE GREAT TO SHOOT FOR THE MOON, SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

YEAH 100%. OKAY.

THANKS, ROBERT. ANYTHING ELSE FROM COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. I APPRECIATE THAT, SIR.

THANK YOU. AND WE'LL SEE YOU SECOND MEETING IN JUNE FOR ANOTHER WORKSHOP UPDATE.

YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THAT.

[3.B. City Manager's Report ]

BUILDING SAFETY MONTH.

DIRECTOR BAKER, TAKE IT OVER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL AND ITS MANY PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD COME TOGETHER EACH YEAR DURING THE MONTH OF MAY TO CELEBRATE BUILDING SAFETY MONTH AND TO EDUCATE AND RAISE AWARENESS ON HOW BUILDING CODES AND BUILDING CODE PROFESSIONALS ENSURE SAFETY WHERE WE LIVE, WORK AND RECREATE.

THIS YEAR'S THEME IS ENTITLED SAFETY FOR ALL BUILDING CODES IN ACTION.

EACH WEEK DURING THE MONTH OF MAY, THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL FOCUS ON CRITICAL ASPECTS OF BUILDING SAFETY TO PROMOTE ACTIONABLE THINGS THAT THE PUBLIC CAN DO TO PROMOTE SAFETY WITHIN THEIR HOMES AND COMMUNITY.

THE FOUR TOPICS THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED DURING THE MONTH OF MAY ARE SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE.

THE FIRST TOPIC IS ENERGY AND INNOVATION, AND THAT WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED DURING WEEK ONE.

ENERGY FUELS OUR LIVES.

AMERICANS CURRENTLY SPEND MORE THAN $200 BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY, AND THESE COSTS CONTINUE TO RISE.

BUILDING ENERGY CODES ARE THE CORE OR AT THE CORE OF IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RESILIENCY IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

THE BUILDING CODES CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY BY ENSURING CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS THAT REDUCE ENERGY BILLS, IMPROVE OCCUPANT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH, AND ENHANCE RESILIENCE IN TERMS OF THE TYPE OF MATERIALS AND FROM NATURAL OR MANMADE DISASTERS.

THE CITY COUNCIL HAS ALWAYS ENSURED THAT THIS COMMUNITY OPERATES UNDER THE LATEST CODE.

IN FACT, YOU APPROVED THE LATEST BUILDING CODES AT YOUR LAST MEETING AND VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

DURING THE FIRST WEEK, WE'LL BE PROVIDING RESIDENTS INFORMATION ON IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER HOW TO HAVE AN ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME AND TO SAVE SOME ENERGY COSTS DURING OUR UPCOMING SUMMER MONTHS.

ALSO, DURING THIS SECTION, WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF OUR ENERGY AND INNOVATIVE BUILDINGS THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE CITY.

A COUPLE OF OUR BUILDINGS INCLUDE THE SOUTHLAKE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY OR THE NORTH BUILDING.

THAT'S LEED SILVER CERTIFIED.

OUR MARK SOUTHLAKE INCORPORATES A NUMBER OF LEED COMPONENTS AS WELL AS OUR NATURE CENTER.

WE HAVE THE WALNUT GROVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, LEED CERTIFIED, SABER, TD AMERITRADE'S CERTIFIED GOLD AND VARISPACE IS ALSO CERTIFIED.

SO A NUMBER OF GREAT EXAMPLES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

IN WEEK TWO WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING SAFETY CAREERS.

A WELL TRAINED AND MOTIVATED BUILDING AND SAFETY PROFESSIONALS ARE KEY TO CREATING AND MAINTAINING A SUCCESSFUL BUILT ENVIRONMENT THROUGH TRAINING AND EDUCATION.

IT HELPS CODE OFFICIALS ENSURE THAT THEY ARE UP TO DATE AND PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.

OUR PROFESSIONALS, SUCH AS OUR PERMIT TECHNICIANS, OUR FIRE OFFICIALS, OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, OUR FIRE MARSHALS, OUR PLAN EXAMINERS, WE CALL THEM FIRST PREVENTERS, WHO PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN PROTECTING THE PROPERTY AND MAKING SURE SOUTHLAKE FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES IS A SAFE AND MORE RESILIENT PLACE TO

[00:40:02]

AND OUR MISSION IS TO PREVENT HARM BY ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH BUILDING SAFETY CODES BEFORE THE DISASTER OCCURS.

ALSO, A TREND THAT'S GOING ON IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY IS THAT THE INDUSTRY IS EXPECTED TO LOSE 80% OF ITS SKILLED WORKFORCE OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS.

AND THIS WILL CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCOMING BUILDING SAFETY WORKERS AND PROFESSIONALS.

AND SO DURING WEEK TWO, WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT OUR BUILDING SAFETY PROFESSIONALS DO FOR THE CITY AND THE CAREER THAT CAN BE OBTAINED IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN THIS TYPE OF PROFESSION.

WEEK THREE WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON DISASTER PREPAREDNESS.

THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE FOUR MAIN STAGES TO AN EFFECTIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

THOSE STAGES ARE TO ONE PREPAREDNESS AS HAVING A PLAN IN PLACE, THE RESPONSE ACTIVATED AND CARRYING OUT WHAT SAID EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION AND THEN RESPONSE.

AND ON THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF EXAMPLES OF THE RESOURCES AND THE PLANS THAT THE CITY HAS IN PLACE FOR PLANNING, NOTIFICATION, RESPONSE, AND THEN A NUMBER OF RESOURCES ON OUR WEB PAGE FOR THE PUBLIC.

AND THEN OUR FINAL FOCUS AREA WILL BE ON WATER SAFETY.

IT WILL FOCUS NOT ONLY ON WATER QUALITY, OUR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, WATER CONSERVATION, BACKFLOW PROTECTION, BUT WE'LL ALSO BE HIGHLIGHTING POOL SAFETY AS WE COME INTO THE SUMMER MONTHS.

THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN ENSURING BARRIERS AT ELECTRIC WORK IN AROUND POOL, AND THE INSTALLATION OF PUMPS.

LIGHTING IS DONE IN A SAFE MANNER.

AND WE'LL BE HIGHLIGHTING THOSE SAFETY TIPS IN WEEK FOUR.

WE'LL ALSO BE PARTICIPATING IN THE SUMMER KICKOFF AT BICENTENNIAL PARK, HANDING OUT LITERATURE, INFORMING THE PUBLIC ON SOME TIPS GOING INTO THE SUMMER MONTHS.

SO I WANTED TO THANK OUR PLANNING DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND PARTICULARLY OUR BUILDING INSPECTIONS DIVISION ON THE WORK THEY DO TO PROTECT SOUTHLAKE AND TO USE THIS MONTH TO CELEBRATE THEM AND CELEBRATE THE SUPPORT THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL PROVIDES US AND MAKING SURE THIS IS A SAFE PLACE FOR OUR CITIZENS AND A GREAT COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU, DIRECTOR BAKER.

THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND PROFESSIONALS.

YOU GUYS DO A GREAT JOB IN HOLDING OUR LOCAL BUILDERS TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD.

SO, MAYOR, IF I COULD ASK MIKE WHITE TO STAND UP.
