SO IT'S BEEN A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE BEING HERE AND WE JUST LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE YEARS AND DAYS TO COME IN SERVING THE COMMUNITY.

[00:05:03]

I HAPPENED TO BE THERE. I THINK IT WAS YOUR GRAND OPENING OR A SOFT OPENING WITH THE CHAMBER, AND I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM AND THE STORE AND I'VE SENT MY WIFE BY BUT I LOVE ANYBODY WHO LOVES SOUTHLAKE, AND SO I'M HAPPY TO HAVE YOU GUYS HERE AS PART OF THE DRAGON FAMILY.

SO WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT YOU, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY WELCOME.

AND WE HAD A PREVIOUS MEETING WHERE THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW WE HAVE A LOT OF WOMEN'S CLOTHES RETAILERS AND YOUNG WOMEN'S RETAILERS.

AND SO I KNOW A LOT OF THE MEN I TALKED TO ARE LOOKING FOR EXACTLY WHAT YOU GUYS ARE OFFERING.

SO VERY EXCITING.

AND HOW'S IT GOING? IS IT HAVE YOU HAS IT GONE WELL SO FAR? OH, WELL, YEAH. LET'S SEND THEM MY WAY.

WILL DO.

SO HYPOTHETICALLY, IF THERE WAS A MAYOR AROUND WHO HAD VERY LITTLE NATURAL FASHION SENSE, COULD YOU HELP HIM OUT? IS IT HANDS ON? OKAY, HYPOTHETICALLY, THAT WAS A TOTAL HYPOTHETICAL.

WELL, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. BEST OF LUCK.

ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THAT WILL MOVE ON TO A WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS OUR EMPLOYER OF CHOICE PRESENTATION.

[4. Employer of Choice Presentation]

DYLAN TAKE IT AWAY. NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT, BUT I'LL DO MY BEST.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M SETTING YOU UP FOR SUCCESS THERE.

I APPRECIATE IT. WELL, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING ME. MY NAME IS DYLAN WELCH, HR BUSINESS PARTNER, AND YOU GUESSED IT, OUR HR DEPARTMENT.

I HAVE NOT RECENTLY BEEN MARRIED, BUT HERE I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR EMPLOYER OF CHOICE PROGRAM AND HOPEFULLY HOW EXCITING IT IS.

WE ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR CULTURE HERE AT SOUTHLAKE AND THE FOCUS THAT WE PLACE ON ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES.

ONE WAY WE WORK TO BUILD THIS CULTURE IS BY DEVELOPING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS SO THAT AND FOSTERING TRUST BETWEEN OUR EMPLOYEES.

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE ACTUALLY HOST SEVERAL INFORMAL OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD THESE RELATIONSHIPS AND ACTUALLY HAVE AN ENTIRE COMMITTEE DEDICATED TO DOING JUST THAT.

LOOKING AT YOU, DANIEL, A FEW OF OUR PAST EVENTS INCLUDE A BOB JONES PARK CLEANUP DAY, AN EMPLOYEE SOFTBALL GAME WHERE OUR DEPARTMENTS CAN COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER AND A FRIENDLY GAME OF SOFTBALL.

AND IT DOES GET A LITTLE BIT COMPETITIVE.

THERE MIGHT BE A WINNING STREAK OR A GRUDGE TO BE SETTLED ONE OF THESE DAYS.

OUR ANNUAL EXCUSE ME CITY MANAGER'S OPEN HOUSE, HOSTED BY OUR LOVELY SHAUNA YELVERTON AND OUR CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, WHERE WE GET TO ENJOY A TON OF HOMEMADE FOOD, DRINKS, GOOD COMPANY, AND OF COURSE, ALL OF WHICH IS DONE IN TACKY CHRISTMAS SWEATERS AND HOLIDAY WEAR.

AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS OUR EMPLOYEE FIELD DAY THAT WE HELD LAST YEAR, ALLOWING FOR EMPLOYEES TO PARTICIPATE IN A BUNCH OF OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES GAMES, ALL WHILE ENJOYING SOME GRILLED BURGERS, FRIED TATER TOTS AND ICE CREAM.

IT WAS FANTASTIC, ALBEIT A LITTLE HOT.

THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE FORMED DURING THESE EVENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY ALLOW EMPLOYEES THAT WOULD NORMALLY NOT GET TO INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER TO DO JUST THAT. THESE RELATIONSHIPS ARE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR, I DON'T KNOW, CERTAIN EVENTS, MAYBE LIKE THE ONE WE HAD LAST WEEK WITH OUR WINTER WEATHER EVENT THAT WE EXPERIENCED.

WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF THESE EVENTS WE'RE ABLE TO RELY ON EACH OTHER AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE HAVE MUCH BETTER TEAMWORK DURING THESE EVENTS AND CAN LEAN ON EACH OTHER AS A RESULT OF THAT. ULTIMATELY ENSURING THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY IN THE BEST WAY THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN.

ANOTHER WAY WE FOCUS ON OUR EMPLOYEES IS THROUGH EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT AND BY PROVIDING PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH AND PROMOTION.

WE HAVE A STRONG HISTORY OF CAREER PROGRESSION, AND TONIGHT I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT FIVE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE DONE JUST THAT.

LAUREN LE NEVE, AS I'M SURE MANY OF YOU KNOW, IS ONE OF WHAT WE LIKE TO REFER TO AS OUR BOOMERANG EMPLOYEES.

SHE STARTED HER CAREER IN SOUTHLAKE AS AN INTERN, LEFT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, AND THEN CAME BACK AS A ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER.

AND I'LL BE HONEST, WE DON'T BLAME HER FOR COMING BACK.

AND JUST LAST YEAR, SHE WAS ACTUALLY PROMOTED TO OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION, AND FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IS ABSOLUTELY CRUSHING IT DEEP RAJANI IS ANOTHER GREAT SUCCESS SUCCESS STORY.

HE'S ACTUALLY STARTED AS A VOLUNTEER, HELPING WRITE CODE FOR OUR OFFICE OF PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE AND WAS SOON PROMOTED TO A PAID INTERN AND FROM THERE A PART TIME APPLICATION DEVELOPER.

AND VERY SOON AFTER THAT A FULL TIME APPLICATION DEVELOPER.

WE QUICKLY REALIZED HIS POTENTIAL AND THE VALUE THAT HE'S BEEN ADDING TO OUR ORGANIZATION, AND HE WAS PROMOTED AGAIN TO OUR SENIOR APPLICATION DEVELOPER.

AND HAVING PERSONALLY WORKED WITH HIM ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS, I CAN SEE WHY.

CRYSTAL MADALENA IS CURRENTLY OUR HOSPITALITY AND SALES MANAGER AT LEGENDS HALL AT THE PARK, AS WELL AS MY FORMAL SUPERVISOR, SORRY, FORMER SUPERVISOR, BUT SHE ACTUALLY BEGAN HER CAREER IN TEEN COURT AS AN OFFICE ASSISTANT.

CRYSTAL HAS BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR ABOUT 14 YEARS AND AS YOU CAN SEE, HER PATH WITH THE CITY HAS BEEN IN TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, HAVING RECEIVED PROMOTIONS IN BOTH

[00:10:02]

HE BEGAN HIS CAREER AS A PART TIME RECREATION LEAD BACK IN 2011 AND WAS PROMOTED TO RECREATION SPECIALIST.

FROM THERE, HE WORKED AS A PARKS TECHNICIAN, LANDSCAPE AND ZONING INSPECTOR, AND MOST RECENTLY, AFTER OBTAINING HIS LICENSE AS A DRONE PILOT, WAS PROMOTED ONCE AGAIN.

HE'S ALSO WON MORE AWARDS THAN I CAN KEEP TRACK OF.

AND IF YOU KNOW THE MAN, YOU WOULD KNOW WHY.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, KRISTEN MCGRAIL HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY SINCE 2003 AS A RECREATION LEAD SAME AS SEANTAY.

SHE SERVED IN MANY DIFFERENT ROLES THROUGHOUT HER CAREER HERE, SUCH AS RECREATION COORDINATOR, TEEN COURT COORDINATOR, MUNICIPAL COURT MANAGER, AND HER CURRENT ROLE AS OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF FINANCE ADMINISTRATION.

THESE EXAMPLES ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THOUGH WE HAVE A TON OF EMPLOYEES THAT WE COULD HIGHLIGHT WITH THEIR PROGRESSION PATH, AND I'M SURE THEY'LL BE PLENTY MORE IN THE FUTURE, AND WE LOVE TO SEE THAT.

IN ORDER TO BUILD THIS GREAT CULTURE THAT WE LOVE SO MUCH AND TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROMOTE INTERNALLY, WE HAVE TO HAVE GOOD PEOPLE FROM THE BEGINNING.

IN ORDER TO HAVE THAT, WE HAVE TO FIRST ATTRACT THEM HERE, AND WE DO THIS THROUGH A VARIETY OF MEANS.

FOR EXAMPLE, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT GETS OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY TO TALK TO YOUNG INDIVIDUALS, PEOPLE THAT ARE TRANSITIONING OUT OF THE MILITARY AND REALLY ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN ABOUT A POTENTIAL CAREER AS A POLICE OFFICER.

PICTURED ON THE LEFT THERE IS SERGEANT DELANEY GREEN AT A RECENT RECRUITMENT EVENT THAT WE HAD.

THEY'VE ALSO EVEN PURCHASED A RECRUITMENT BILLBOARD AND THEY LEVERAGE THEIR INCREDIBLE SOUTHLAKE DPS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS TO ATTRACT MANY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS ACROSS THE NATION.

I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN SEVERAL OF THEIR VIRAL POSTS.

THEY ARE FANTASTIC.

AND LASTLY, AS YOU MAY KNOW, NOT EVERYONE ASPIRES EXCUSE ME, NOT EVERYONE ASPIRES TO A CAREER IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

AND I MYSELF AM A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS, WHEN I STARTED MY CAREER HERE, I WAS NOT LOOKING FOR A CAREER IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT, BUT HERE I AM, SEVEN YEARS AND MULTIPLE JOB TITLES LATER AND I'M STILL HERE AND I LOVE WHAT I DO.

SO. BECAUSE OF THAT, WE REALIZE THAT WE NEED TO GET OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND TELL OUR STORY.

THIS IS WHY WE TRY TO HIGHLIGHT THE WORK THAT WE DO AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT THERE IS FROM A RECENT EVENT CALLED THE SOUTHLAKE FOUNDATION CAREER CONNECTION DAY.

AT THIS EVENT, WE WERE ABLE TO TEACH LOCAL YOUNG ADULTS ABOUT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND WHY THEY MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

IN CONCLUSION, WE STRIVE TO BE AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE BY BY BUILDING OUR TALENT DENSITY AND BY INVESTING IN OUR EMPLOYEES AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN SO THAT WE THAT WAY WE CAN SERVE THE COMMUNITY AGAIN TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITIES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL ANSWER THEM AT THIS TIME.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? WELL, LET ME SAY THAT FIRST OF ALL, GREAT PRESENTATION.

I CAN TELL THAT YOU REALLY LIKE THE PEOPLE YOU WORK WITH.

I DO. WHICH IS IT COMES OUT AND CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY YOU HONORED AND THE WHOLE TEAM.

YOU KNOW, ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT SEEING YOU GUYS WORK FROM THIS SIDE OF THE DAIS IS YOUR CULTURE IS VERY INTENTIONAL.

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO IS GEARED TOWARDS CREATING THE CULTURE THAT YOU WANT AND YOU'VE BEEN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL AT DOING IT.

SO HATS OFF TO THE HR TEAM AND IT'S NOT SURPRISING AT ALL THAT YOU WIN THESE AWARDS.

IT'S NOT JUST US, BUT THANK YOU.

YEAH, I WOULD ADD TO THAT TOO.

I THINK ONE THING I'VE NOTICED OVER THE YEARS IS JUST HOW WHETHER YOU'RE AN EMPLOYEE WHO'S HERE JUST FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME, MAYBE AS A HIGH SCHOOL KID, YOU KNOW, WORKING SOMEWHERE OR YOU'RE A LIFE TIMER IN SOUTH LAKE, WE ATTRACT ALL THOSE AND WE GET GREAT FEEDBACK FROM WHEREVER YOU'RE AT IN YOUR CAREER PATH.

AND THAT'S A GREAT SIGN OF A FANTASTIC EMPLOYER.

SO CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE, YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE DYLAN AND CRYSTAL AND KRISTEN AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HIGHLIGHTED AND AS DYLAN POINTED OUT, MANY, MANY MORE.

WE'VE GOT A VERY BRIGHT FUTURE.

AND I KNOW IT'S SOMETIMES HARD TO THINK THAT AT SOME POINT WE GET OLD AND HAVE TO GO DO OTHER THINGS.

BUT I THINK THE COMMUNITY AND THE COUNCIL SHOULD REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE SITTING IN A VERY GOOD PLACE.

WE HAVE GREAT DEPTH WITH OUR STAFF AND SO I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION.

DYLAN, I THINK YOU HIGHLIGHTED THAT REALLY NICELY.

THANK YOU, SHANA. ALL RIGHT.

WELL DONE. APPRECIATE YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS A REVIEW OF ALL OF OUR CONSENT AGENDA FOR TONIGHT.

[5. Discuss all items on tonight's agenda. No action will be taken and each item will be considered during the Regular Session.]

FOUR B, RESOLUTION NUMBER 23, DASH ZERO TWO, ORDERING A GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON MAY SIX, 2023 FOR THE PURPOSES OF ELECTING CITY COUNCIL PLACES ONE AND SIX.

ITEM 4C, EXCUSE THE ABSENCE OF COUNCILMEMBER RANDY ROBBINS FROM THE JANUARY 17TH, 2023 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

[00:15:01]

BART BARTLETT, TREE EXPERT COMPANY.

ITEM FOUR G, APPROVED CONTRACT RENEWAL FOR TREE SERVICES WITH SHAWNEE MISSION TREE SERVICE INC.

DBA ARBOR MASTER'S TREE SERVICE.

ITEM FOUR H, AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES OF TK ELEVATOR CORPORATION, TK ELEVATOR FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INVERTED HYDRAULIC JACKS ON THE WEST PARKING GARAGE ELEVATOR AND A MOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $80,343.

QUICK QUESTION ON THAT ONE, CHIEF, AND I ASSUME I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS THAT COVERS ALL OF OUR SROS AT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES THAT PURCHASE.

IT COVERS ALL OF OUR SROS AT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES AND ALL OF OUR PATROL VEHICLES AS WELL.

WONDERFUL. AWESOME.

SORRY. THANK YOU, SIR.

COUNCIL ANYTHING ELSE WE WANT TO PUT ON CONSENT TONIGHT? YES, MAYOR & COUNCIL, I WOULD SUGGEST WE CONSIDER MOVING FROM OUR REGULAR AGENDA TO THE CONSENT AGENDA AND APPROVING ITEM NINE A, AN AGREEMENT WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING SERVICES RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN FOR INTERSECTION ENHANCEMENTS ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 114.

I WOULD NOTE FROM THE STAFF REPORT THAT AGAIN, THIS IS FOR THE CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN.

WE'RE NOT APPROVING ANY PARTICULAR PROJECTS OR EXPENDITURES, BUT THE COST OF THIS CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN IS ALREADY BUDGETED.

AND ALL THAT COMES BACK TO US ONCE WE HAVE A PLAN, IT COMES TO US FOR ACTUAL CONSIDERATION FOR THE ACTUAL PROJECTS.

YEAH. PERFECT. AND THIS IS WHAT CAME OUT OF OUR WAS IT SUMMER OR WINTER WORKSHOP SUMMER LAST YEAR? WAS IT SUMMER OR LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CONCRETE? ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD.

ANY OPPOSITION TO THAT? ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT NINE HOUR CONSENT AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THAT DOES IT FOR OUR CONSENT AGENDA FOR TONIGHT.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL CALL THE REGULAR SESSION BACK TO ORDER TONIGHT.

AND FIRST THING IS ALWAYS, WE WILL GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[2. A. Executive Session:]

SECTION 551.087 TO DELIBERATE REGARDING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEGOTIATIONS.

AND PRETTY QUICK NIGHT TONIGHT, WE'LL PROBABLY BE BACK EARLY, START TACKLING SOME OF THESE AGENDAS.

SO 6:30. 630.

BE ALL RIGHT.

WE GO AHEAD AND CALL THE REGULAR SESSION BACK TO ORDER.

[1. Call to order]

WOULD THAT MOVE ON TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM THREE A, WHICH IS THE MAYOR'S REPORT.

[3.A. Mayor's Report]

SO THAT WAS REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL BECAUSE SOME OF THEM HAD FAMILY LOCAL AND SOME DIDN'T.

AND THE CITY, WHICH I BELIEVE ACTUALLY CREDIT WHERE CREDIT'S DUE, MAYOR HILL HAD THIS IDEA IN THE RUN UP TO THE TO THE WINTER STORM IN 21.

THE CITY CAN BE CAN STAND IN THE GAP FOR THESE FOLKS AND CALL THEM AND CHECK ON THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY DIDN'T NEED ANYTHING AND MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT WE COULD HELP THEM WITH. AND I BELIEVE, SEAN, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THEY CALLED OVER 500 SENIORS IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, WHICH IS SO SPECIAL.

SO I'M GOING TO READ THESE NAMES.

AND THEN, KATHY, IF I COULD TURN IT OVER TO YOU, YOU COULD TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SO HAYLA PHELPS, MILENKO LOPEZ, EMILY WOOD, REBECCA PRETTY, MALIA BELK, ANDREW BURNETT AND COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY.

SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR HELPING OUR SENIORS AT A TIME OF NEED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT THINGS ABOUT OUR CITY AND OUR CITY STAFF AND EVERYBODY HERE.

AND ONE OF THOSE IS, IS HOW WE LOOK OUT FOR WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESIDENTS, AND THAT'S OUR SENIORS.

WE DID THAT AS WELL AS WE COULD DURING THE FIRST SNOWMAGEDDON AND THE SECOND SNOWMAGEDDON.

[00:20:05]

THEY'RE ADORABLE. THEY'RE VERY RESILIENT.

AND ONE OF THE LADIES I CALLED, I THINK IT WAS 103 OR 104 YEARS OLD, AND I THOUGHT I WAS TALKING TO MAYBE A 70 YEAR OLD.

SHE'S LIKE, I'M DOING GREAT.

THANK YOU FOR CALLING.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I LOVE SOUTHLAKE, BUT I'M DOING JUST FINE.

AND I SAID, YES, MA'AM.

HEY, YOU'VE GOT MY CELL NUMBER.

JUST IF ANYTHING, IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

SO HATS OFF TO ALL OF OUR STAFF WHO WHO LOOKS OUT FOR THEM.

AND I KNOW I'VE TALKED TO SUHAILA OVER THE YEARS ABOUT HOW ANY TIME THERE'S SOME SORT OF WEATHER EVENT OR SOMETHING GOING ON, THEY REALLY STEP OUT AND UP TO TAKE CARE OF OUR SENIORS AND CHECK ON THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE OKAY.

SO IT WAS IT WAS GREAT TO BE A PART OF THAT.

YEAH, WELL, THANK YOU FOR DOING IT.

AND THANKS TO THE COMMUNITY SERVICES TEAM THAT REALLY MADE AN IMPACT.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM THREE B, WHICH IS THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.

[3.B. City Manager's Report]

SO FIRST I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE CYNTHIA FLATTERER, OUR LIBRARIAN, AND ALSO STACY WELLS, WHO IS OUR YOUTH LIBRARIAN.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THINGS GOING ON AT THE LIBRARY RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU, SHANA. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

IT'S NICE TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US COME AND SHARE SOME STUFF ABOUT THE LIBRARY WITH YOU.

STACY WELLS IS WITH ME TONIGHT AND SHE'S GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU IN A LITTLE BIT INFORMATION ABOUT A NEW PROGRAM THAT SHE HAS.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT IS SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE DOING THAT ARE DIRECTLY RESPONSIVE TO OUR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.

BUT BEFORE I GET TO THE POINT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHY WE'RE DOING IT.

THE LIBRARY ALWAYS DEPENDS ON OUR CUSTOMER FEEDBACK, LOOKING AT TRENDS AND DATA FOR HOW THE COMMUNITY USING THE LIBRARY, WHAT THE CIRCULATION STATS ARE, WHAT THE PROGRAM STATS ARE, AND WHAT THE DIRECT FEEDBACK IS FROM OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP US MAKE DECISIONS TO SET THE FUTURE OF THE LIBRARY.

BUT IN 2021 AND 2022, WE HAD A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A MORE IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT THEY NEEDED FROM THEIR LIBRARY AND WHERE THEY WANTED US TO GO IN THE FUTURE.

FOR THE LIBRARY STUDY, WE HAD OVER 2100 RESPONDENTS AND NOT ONLY RESPONSES TO THE QUESTIONS WE ASKED THEM, BUT THEY GAVE US 1500 VERBATIM COMMENTS DETAILING EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR.

AND THEN WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE LIBRARY TASK FORCE, WATCH THEM, DO THEIR RESEARCH, BE PART OF THEIR DISCUSSIONS AND SEE THE PRIORITIES THAT THEY BROUGHT FORWARD FOR THE LIBRARY.

SO FOR OUR STAFF, WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS LOOK AT ALL OF THAT DATA, LOOK AT THAT INFORMATION, SEE WHAT THE COMMUNITY WAS TELLING US.

AND THEN WE ASKED OURSELVES, WHAT CAN WE DO NOW? WHAT CAN WE DO WHERE WE ARE TO ENHANCE THE SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY? SO LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING.

THE FIRST AND THE LOUDEST THING WE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY IS THAT SERVICE TO CHILDREN IS A PRIORITY.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS FOCUSED ON.

THE MAJORITY OF LIBRARIES RESOURCES, PARTICULARLY PROGRAMING RESOURCES, ARE FOR SERVICE TO YOUTH.

THIS ARE A COUPLE OF PHOTOS FROM OUR CHILDREN'S STORYTIME PROGRAMS. WE HAVE OVER 14,000 ATTENDEES TO OUR PROGRAMS EVERY YEAR.

MISS HEIDI. MS..

KAREN, THANK YOU.

DO SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB.

AND SO WE REALLY WANTED TO REALLY SURPRISE AND DELIGHT AND EXPAND THE LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR THAT YOUNG EARLY LEARNING CROWD.

AND SO NOW WE'RE DOING ONCE A MONTH, WE'RE DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL.

WE MIGHT HAVE AN ANIMAL EDUCATOR OR WE MIGHT HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST, A CHILDREN'S AUTHOR, WE MIGHT HAVE A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE.

WE JUST HAD CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH THEM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR WAYS TO ENHANCE THAT EXPERIENCE FOR THAT YOUNG CROWD AND VARY THE LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT THEY'RE HAVING FOR OUR SCHOOL AGE KIDS AND OUR TEENS.

WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR A ROBUST SPRING AND SUMMER SCHEDULE THIS YEAR.

WE HAVE NEW THINGS FOR OUR ADULTS, TOO.

SO IN THIS COMMUNITY, OUR ADULTS ARE VERY BUSY.

MANY OF THEM ARE STILL IN THAT VERY BUSY TIME OF THEIR LIVES, OF RAISING THEIR CHILDREN, DYNAMIC CAREERS.

BUT THEY'RE STILL SAYING THAT THEY WANT SUPPORT FROM THEIR LIBRARIES.

A LOT OF TIMES WHAT WE HEARD WAS THEY'RE LOOKING FOR INTELLECTUAL PURSUITS.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER.

[00:25:01]

ONE OF THE MOST FREQUENT REQUESTS WE HAD WAS FOR A BOOK CLUB, AND WE HAVEN'T ALWAYS HAD SUCCESS WITH BOOK CLUBS OVER THE YEARS.

BUT LAURA BYERS HOLDING THE BOOK IN THIS PICTURE IS ON OUR STAFF.

SHE'S A LIBRARY TECHNICIAN, BUT SHE'S ALSO A DEGREED LIBRARIAN.

WE ARE FORTUNATE. WE HAVE SEVERAL DEGREED LIBRARIANS WORKING IN JUNIOR LEVELS FOR US AND SHE WANTED TO TAKE THIS ON AS HER SPECIAL PROJECT.

AND THIS HAS WORKED WELL, BETTER THAN ANY BOOK CLUB THAT WE'VE EVER HAD FOR ANY AGES.

AND IT'S A GROWING GROUP IN COMMUNITY EVERY MONTH OR EVERY QUARTER.

SHE'S DOING THIS QUARTERLY.

OUR HEALTH, NUTRITION, COOKING AND CREATIVE ARTS CLASSES ARE SOME OF THE MOST IN-DEMAND CLASSES THAT WE HAVE FOR ADULTS.

THEY ARE ALWAYS FULL EVERY TIME WE OFFER THEM.

THEY'RE WAITING LISTS AND THE MOST HIGHLY ATTENDED.

AND WHAT WE'RE LEARNING FROM OUR FROM OUR CITIZENS IS THEY WANT TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE A SHARED INTEREST.

AND THEY WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE CREATIVE AND TO LEARN HOW TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES.

CULTURAL EVENTS IS ANOTHER ASPECT THAT WE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO OUR PARTNERSHIPS REALLY ALLOW US TO EXPAND OUR CULTURAL EXPERIENCES.

WE JUST HAD THE LANTERN WORKSHOP AND THE LANTERN WALK OVER ON SATURDAY WITH SOUTHLAKE SISTER CITIES, AND THAT WAS OUR SIXTH YEAR FOR OFFERING THAT.

AND THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR ATTENDING THAT WITH US.

AND THEN FINALLY, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AUTHOR VISITS AND EDUCATIONAL LECTURES.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE HAD HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY AS A AS AN INTEREST IN SOMETHING THEY THOUGHT THE LIBRARY SHOULD DO.

AND YET IT WAS CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS FOR US TO DO.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE AND CONSISTENTLY THE MOST POORLY ATTENDED.

AND YET THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM LANDED IN MY EMAIL BOX LAST SUMMER WHEN A NEW CONSORTIUM OF LIBRARIES ACROSS THE NATION FORMED AND WE WERE ABLE TO BE A FOUNDING PARTNER FOR A VERY NOMINAL COST.

WE WERE ABLE TO POOL OUR RESOURCES AS LIBRARIES ACROSS THE NATION AND NOW OFFER LIVE ONLINE BEST SELLING AUTHORS 2 TO 3 TIMES A MONTH THAT OUR COMMUNITY CAN ATTEND. YOU CAN ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH THE AUTHOR, SEND YOUR YOUR MESSAGES IN YOUR QUESTIONS, AND HAVE THEM ANSWER.

SO WE WERE REALLY PLEASED TO SEE THAT WE HAVE ABOUT 150 PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY USING THAT EVERY MONTH, AND THAT'S MUCH HIGHER ATTENDANCE THAN WE WOULD HAVE SEEN TRADITIONALLY. SO FEBRUARY IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH, AND PART OF OUR CULTURAL CELEBRATION IS TO IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT RIGHT NOW THE LIBRARY HAS ON EXHIBIT THE CREATIVE MINDS EXHIBIT FROM THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES OF SCIENCES. AND THIS RECOGNIZES BLACK AMERICANS ACHIEVEMENTS IN MEDICINE, ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS AND THE SCIENCES.

IT HAS A WONDERFUL SECTIONS ABOUT INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS, HISTORICAL AND EVEN A DID YOU KNOW SECTION TO REALLY STIR THE INTEREST OF THAT NEXT LEVEL OF CREATIVE MINDS.

THAT WILL BE ON EXHIBIT IN THE LIBRARY THROUGH THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY.

AND ON FEBRUARY 28TH, WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM COMING UP FROM THE FOOD SAVE ME INSTITUTE HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

THEY OFFER FREE NUTRITION CLASSES IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEY HAVE A NEW CLASS.

CATHERINE LAWRENCE AND HER PARTNER, JACQUELINE SAMUELS, HAVE DEVELOPED THIS NEW PROGRAM FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN NUTRITION, WHICH LOOKS AT GENETIC INFLUENCES ON HEALTH AND HOW NUTRITION CAN HELP YOU TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH.

THAT IS OPEN FOR REGISTRATION NOW, IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED.

AND NOW I'M GOING TO ASK STACEY TO TELL US ABOUT HER NEW PROGRAM.

HELLO. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT ACCESSIBLE ART, ADVENTUROUSLY ACCESSIBLE ART.

AND I'M GOING TO CONNECT BACK TO WHAT CYNTHIA SAID EARLIER ABOUT THIS PROGRAM IS DRIVEN DIRECTLY FROM COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.

AND SO WE LEANED INTO THAT FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND WE SET OUT TO DO THREE THINGS.

THOSE THREE THINGS WERE TO CREATE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES THAT BUILD COMMUNITY AND TRUST.

WE WANTED IT TO BE TANGIBLE AND WE ALSO WANTED TO BE FUN.

AND SO HOW COULD WE DO THIS? HOW COULD WE CREATE THAT FOR THESE THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE? AND SO WE DECIDED ART.

ART CAN GIVE US ALL THREE OF THOSE THINGS BECAUSE ART THROUGH SELF EXPRESSION IS A WAY WE COMMUNICATE BY DRAWING ON OUR OWN UNIQUE EXPERIENCES, OUR EMOTIONS AND OUR THOUGHTS.

AND WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE ELSE'S ART, YOU SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THEIR EYES.

SO FROM THERE, THE PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED.

ADVENTUROUSLY ASSESSABLE ART IS A STRUCTURED ART PROGRAM IN AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT IS SENSORY FRIENDLY AND TARGETED TOWARD THE NEEDS OF THOSE WHO ARE NEURODIVERGENT AND THEIR FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS.

[00:30:02]

NEURODIVERGENT MEANS AND INCLUDES AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER, ADHD, ADHD, TOURETTE'S AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTAL AND LEARNING DISABILITIES FOR AGES SEVEN AND UP.

AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING US TO BE HERE TO PRESENT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DO IN THE LIBRARY.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU OR ANSWER THEM FOR YOU.

QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

I'M JUST CURIOUS, THE ONLINE AUTHOR INTERACTION THING, IS THIS SOMETHING YOU DO FROM YOUR HOUSE AT THAT POINT IN TIME? YOU SEND A LOG IN AND GET IT THAT WAY? YES, ABSOLUTELY.

AND ONE OF THE NICE FEATURES ABOUT THAT IS IF YOU MISS SOMETHING THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE, YOU CAN GO BACK AND WATCH PREVIOUS ONES.

VERY COOL. HE GETS A REALLY INTERESTING ARRAY OF PROGRAMING.

AND THANK YOU FOR BEING SO THOUGHTFUL.

YOU REALLY HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, SO WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

GOOD WORK. YEAH, I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT OUR LIBRARY IS IN GREAT HANDS.

I'M GOING TO EMBARRASS YOU, STACY.

STACY IS GOING TO BE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR.

WELL, NO. SO CAN YOU TELL US JUST REALLY QUICKLY ABOUT YOUR BOOK? I HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT CALLED STRONGER THAN, AND IT'S ABOUT A BLACK CHOCTAW BOY WHO FINDS STRENGTH THROUGH HIS ANCESTORS.

AND IT'S COMING OUT FROM HARPERCOLLINS IN 2025.

AND THEN IT'S NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED, BUT I SIGNED ANOTHER CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER PICTURE BOOK WITH THE SAME PUBLISHER.

AND NO DATES ON THAT ONE YET.

CONGRATS. CONGRATULATIONS.

SO EXCITING. LET'S GIVE HER A HAND.

[APPLAUSE] OKAY.

THANK YOU, LADIES. WE HAVE ONE MORE PRESENTATION I'D LIKE TO ASK MADISON DUNN, OUR ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY SUPERVISOR, TO COME FORWARD.

AND SHE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THOSE PROGRAMS WITH YOU.

WELCOME, MADISON.

THANK YOU, SHANA.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS MADISON DUNN, AND I'M THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY SUPERVISOR FOR THE CITY.

AND TONIGHT, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIVISION AND SOME OF OUR RECYCLING PROGRAMS. SO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIVISION REALLY FOCUSES ON FIVE MAIN PROGRAMS. WE HAVE OUR FATS, OILS AND GREASE, DRINKING WATER, QUALITY WATER CONSERVATION, PRETREATMENT AND STORM WATER QUALITY PROGRAMS. WITHIN EACH OF THESE PILLARS, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT OUR CITY IS COMPLIANT ON A STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL, AS WELL AS INSTILLING A COMMUNITY AWARENESS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES THROUGH OUTREACH AND EDUCATION, THROUGH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIPS.

WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER DIFFERENT PROGRAMS FOR OUR SOUTH LAKE RESIDENTS TO UTILIZE.

A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENTS ALLOWS US TO OFFER WINTER AND FALL RECYCLING PROGRAMS, THREE OF WHICH INCLUDE THE LEAF RECYCLING, CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING AND THE HOLIDAY GREASE ROUNDUP PROGRAMS. THROUGH OUR CONTRACT WITH REPUBLIC SERVICES, WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER A CURBSIDE LEAF RECYCLING PROGRAM FROM NOVEMBER THROUGH JANUARY EACH YEAR.

TO PARTICIPATE, RESIDENTS SIMPLY BAG UP THEIR LEAF DEBRIS SEPARATELY FROM THEIR TRASH DEBRIS AND PUT IT IN THE SAME AREA AS ON THEIR COLLECTION DAYS.

AND JUST THIS SEASON, SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS CONTRIBUTED OVER 386 TONS OF LEAVES TO BE RECYCLED THERE IF THEY SAVED LANDFILL SPACE.

OVER THE LIFESPAN OF THIS PROGRAM.

THEY HAVE SAVED OVER 1900 TONS OF LEAVES FROM GOING INTO THE LANDFILL.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECYCLE THESE LEAVES BECAUSE AS ORGANIC MATTER, THEY TAKE UP LANDFILL SPACE AND WE CAN ACTUALLY RETURN THOSE NUTRIENTS BACK INTO OUR GARDENS THROUGH MULCH. SO ANOTHER ONE OF OUR PROGRAMS IS OUR CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING PROGRAM, WHICH IS OFFERED FROM DECEMBER, DECEMBER THROUGH JANUARY ANNUALLY.

AND THIS IS WHERE RESIDENTS, IF THEY HAVE A REAL LIFE CHRISTMAS TREE, THEY'RE ABLE TO DROP THAT OFF AT A DESIGNATED LOCAL PARK TO BE MULCHED.

AND SIMILAR TO LEAVES, THIS IS ANOTHER TYPE OF ORGANIC MATTER, AND IT JUST TAKES UP A LOT OF LANDFILL SPACE.

SO THEY'RE ABLE TO MULCH THAT DOWN TO WHERE SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS CAN COME BY, PICK UP THE MULCH AND PUT THAT IN THEIR OWN GARDENS AT HOME.

AND THEN THESE TWO PROGRAMS ARE LEAF RECYCLING AND CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING PROGRAMS. THEY ARE SUPPORTED THROUGH OUR INTERNAL SOUTHLAKE BEAUTIFUL COMMITTEE.

AND THEN FINALLY, OUR NEWEST PROGRAM IS THE HOLIDAY GREASE ROUNDUP, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2019 AND RUNS FROM NOVEMBER THROUGH JANUARY ANNUALLY.

THIS IS WHERE RESIDENTS AFTER COOKING HOLIDAY MEALS, THEY CAN TAKE THAT COOKING OIL IN GREASE AND DROP IT OFF AT OUR PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS CENTER TO BE RECYCLED.

THIS IS A COLLABORATION EFFORT WITH OUR NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT MUNICIPALITIES.

AND THIS YEAR, SOUTHLAKE WAS ONE OF 44 PARTICIPANTS AND 71 DROP OFF LOCATIONS ACROSS THE METROPLEX.

SO THIS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN OF THIS PROGRAM, WE HAVE RECYCLED OVER 450 GALLONS OF GREASE IN SOUTH LAKE WITH 99 OF THOSE GALLONS BEING JUST FROM THE SEASON

[00:35:04]

WE'VE NOTICED THAT RESIDENTS ARE COMING BACK OVER ONE HOLIDAY SEASON TO BE ABLE TO RECYCLE THEIR USED COOKING OIL AND GREASE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEN COMING YEAR AFTER YEAR.

AND ANOTHER THING WE'VE NOTICED IS NEIGHBORING CITIES ACTUALLY UTILIZING OUR OWN GREASE STATION AS WELL.

WITH THIS PROGRAM, WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE THAT USE COOKING OIL AND GREASE.

AND THROUGH A VENDOR, THEY ABLE TO RECYCLE IT INTO BIODIESEL.

SO NEXT, I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT TWO SCHOOL OUTREACH INITIATIVES THAT WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR ALREADY.

SO FIRST UP, JUST THIS PAST MONTH, TARRANT REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO CARROLL HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS ABOUT THEIR NEW PROJECT THAT THEY ARE GOING ON.

IT'S CALLED MEET OUR HERO.

AND WHAT THEY'LL BE DOING IS ANALYZING THEIR OWN WATER USAGE AT HOME, ANALYZING THE TRENDS OF THAT, AND THEN HYPOTHESIZING DIFFERENT WAYS TO HAVE WATER SAVINGS AT HOME. AND JUST FOR THE KICKOFF OF THIS PROJECT, THERE WILL BE 193 STUDENTS COMPLETING THIS EXPERIMENT OVER THE SPRING TIME.

AND THEN FINALLY, WE HAVE OUR FLORENCE KNIGHT WITH OUR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.

SO FLORENCE ELEMENTARY INVITES US EACH YEAR TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR ANNUAL STEM NIGHT EVENT.

AND WHAT THIS IS THE FIRST PART IS THE STUDENTS BRING THEIR SCIENCE FAIR PROJECTS BEFORE JUDGES.

AND THEN THE SECOND PART OF THE EVENT IS WHERE THE COMMUNITY INTERACTS WITH THESE STUDENTS TO TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT STEM ACTIVITIES AND INITIATIVES.

AND THIS YEAR, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES HAD A DO IT YOURSELF SEED BUNDLE STATION WHERE WE MADE WITH CLAY AND SOIL AND NATIVE AND ADAPTIVE SEEDS, THESE LITTLE BUNDLES THAT THEY'LL TOSS INTO THEIR GARDEN THIS SPRING TIME.

IT'S ALSO A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THESE PARENTS ABOUT WHAT DROUGHT TOLERANT LAND SAVE MONEY AND WATER.

THROUGH THIS EVENT WE CREATED 58 SEED BUNDLES WITH STUDENTS AND WE GAVE AWAY OVER 170 PIECES OF OUTREACH MATERIAL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME SHARE THESE INITIATIVES TO YOU WITH YOU, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH.

GREAT JOB. THESE ARE REALLY COOL INITIATIVES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THESE PRESENTATIONS.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO FOR YOU TO SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T NORMALLY HEAR ABOUT.

BUT I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO BORIS, LORI, BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN COORDINATING THESE PRESENTATIONS FOR US AND SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB WITH IT.

SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO SAY THE FUTURE IS IN GREAT HANDS.

WE'RE GOOD. TELL YOU WHAT.

GREAT JOB. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

OKAY. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA FOR TONIGHT.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

ALTHOUGH BEFORE WE TAKE A MOTION, I'LL NOTE THAT WE ARE PULLING ITEM FOUR C, WHICH THE WHICH IS THE EXCUSING THE ABSENCE OF COUNCIL MEMBER RANDY ROBERTS, BECAUSE HE WAS HERE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE MEETING.

SO WE'RE PULLING FOUR C OFF OF THE CONSENT AGENDA WHEN WE VOTE FOR IT.

WITH THAT, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? YES MAYOR AND COUNCIL I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE OUR CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 4A THROUGH J NOTING THAT WE'RE REMOVING ITEM 4 C ALSO THAT WE'RE ADDING ITEM 9 A FROM THE REGULAR AGENDA, WHICH IS APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING SERVICES RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN FOR ESTHETIC INTERSECTION ENHANCEMENTS ALONG THE STATE HIGHWAY 114 CORRIDOR, AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 138,000.

HAVE A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. ALL RIGHT, CONSENT AGENDA PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE, WHICH IS PUBLIC FORUM.

[5. Public Forum]

AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE COMMENTER FOR MS. KIENAST, DO YOU WANT TO COME ON FORWARD? SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC FORUM AND.

IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

DEANNA KIENAST.

1518 MAIN STREET.

I'M AN OVER 30 YEAR RESIDENT OF SOUTHLAKE.

LOVE IT. THANK YOU.

SEAN IS ON THE SPOT FOR ANSWERING EMAILS.

THANK YOU. AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THE WORK BEHIND GETTING THE CAR SHOWS OUT OF SOUTHLAKE OK.

WE HAVE AN ISSUE GOING ON IN TOWN SQUARE ON THE SATURDAYS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OF THE POSTING THE KIDS, ADULTS OUT ON THE STREET PICKETING AGAINST ANIMAL MURDERS, AND THEY'RE TARGETING ANTHROPOLOGIE AND FREE THE PEOPLE.

AND THESE PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE WITH HUGE POSTERS, WITH TERRIBLE PICTURES OF DEAD ANIMALS.

AND THEY'RE GOING INTO THE BUILDINGS, THE SHOPS.

THEY ARE WRITING LITERALLY IN COLORED CHALK, LARGE LETTERS, ANIMAL MURDERERS.

[00:40:05]

THIS IS ON MAIN STREET AND GRAND AVENUE.

NOW, I'VE TALKED TO I SENT EVERYONE AN EMAIL ABOUT THIS AND OR EXCUSE ME, WHEN I GO TO EVERYBODY WHEN I SAID, YES, MA'AM. AND ONE OF THE SHOP MANAGERS OF FREE THE PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT ONE DAY, ONE SATURDAY, ONE OF THE PICKETERS WALKED BACK INTO THE STORE WITH A BLACK MASK ON YELLING AND SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS.

HOWEVER, THEY HAVE CALLED THE POLICE NOT 911, BUT AND THE POLICE ALWAYS COME.

HOWEVER, THIS PERSON KNEW THEY WERE WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS, THAT IF THEY ALWAYS ARE FACING THE EXIT.

IT'S OK. AND SOMEONE CONTACTED CAPTAIN LUNA, WHO HAPPENS TO BE AN ACQUAINTANCE OF MINE AS WELL.

AND I RESPECT EVERYTHING THE POLICE DO HERE.

I HATE THEIR HANDS ARE TIED THAT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

I MEAN, TO ME, THAT'S DEFACING OUR PUBLIC SIDEWALK.

IT'S SATURDAY.

PEOPLE ARE STOPPING YOU GOING BY.

I HAPPEN TO HAVE A FUR VEST ON.

WHO CARES IF IT'S REAL OR FAKE? I DON'T WANT TO BE STOPPED.

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE HANDING ME A BROCHURE THAT'S GOT A PICTURE OF DEAD ANIMALS ON IT.

I MEAN, I GREW UP IN IOWA.

WE'VE SEEN DEAD ANIMALS.

YOU DRIVE DOWN 114, YOU SEE THEM.

BUT IT JUST IT'S SO NOT WHAT SHOULD BE IN TOWN SQUARE.

I'M LOOKING AT IT ALMOST AS A SAFETY ISSUE NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE WELL OVER 100 HOMEOWNERS LIVING HERE.

AND WE JUST DON'T WANT THIS DOWN THE STREET.

WE DON'T WANT IT DOWN ANY STREET IN SOUTHLAKE.

SO MY ONE QUESTION IS WHO OWNS THE PUBLIC SIDEWALKS? AND IN LISTENING TO CAPTAIN LUNA, I SEE MY TIME'S ABOUT UP.

THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

HOWEVER, HE SAID UNLESS IT'S TAKING SOME REVENUE FROM THE CITY TO CORRECT THE DEFACING.

AND I DO KNOW THAT THE LEAD PERSON FOR KITE DID GO DOWN AND HAVE TO HAVE THE CHALK MARKS REMOVED.

THE FIRST, ONE SATURDAY, THE LADIES WHO WORK IN THESE SHOPS WENT OUT AND CLEANED THEM.

BUT THIS IS COSTING THEM THE RENT TO PLAY, TO CLEAN THE SIDEWALK.

SO I WOULD JUST LIKE US TO BE ABLE TO ACT UPON DOING SOMETHING.

IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD MESSAGE FOR OUR HOST CITY.

YES. THANK YOU, MS. KEENEST. THANK YOU, ALAN I CERTAINLY SHARE THAT CONCERN.

I MEAN, TOWN SQUARES ARE OUR DOWNTOWN, OUR JEWEL.

AND WITH RESPECT TO FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY.

BUT TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE WHAT THE CONTOURS THERE AND HOW WE CAN MAINTAIN ORDER AND SAFETY IN AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THAT.

THE DIFFICULTY THAT WE FACE AND THE COUNCIL HAS HEARD VARIATIONS OF THIS KIND OF ISSUE BEFORE, IS THAT THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES A RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH AND FREE ASSEMBLY.

AND IF WE HAVE PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT ARE OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION, THEY ARE WHAT ARE CONSIDERED TO BE PUBLIC FORUMS. AND INDIVIDUALS HAVE THE RIGHT TO COME THERE AND TO ENGAGE IN SPEECH AND POLITICAL SPEECH IS HIGHLY PROTECTED AND ARGUING FOR A POLICY, WHETHER IT'S WELL THOUGHT OUT OR NOT ABOUT HOW ANIMALS ARE TREATED IS CERTAINLY A MATTER OF POLICY THAT WOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE COURTS IF WE ATTEMPTED TO INFRINGE IT IN ANY WAY.

WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMOVE THESE PEOPLE FROM PRIVATE PROPERTY IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CONSENT OF THE PROPERTY OWNER TO BE THERE.

IF SOMEONE GOES INTO A SHOP AND IS BEING DISRUPTIVE, THEY CAN BE REMOVED BY THE POLICE IF THEY ENGAGE IN BEHAVIOR OUT ON THE SIDEWALKS OR IN THE PUBLIC FORUM THAT MEETS THE STANDARD OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

THEY ARE DISRUPTING TRAFFIC FLOW, THEY ARE HARASSING PEOPLE.

THEY ARE DOING THINGS THAT FALL WITHIN THE PENAL CODE DEFINITION OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

OUR POLICE OFFICERS CAN OBVIOUSLY INTERVENE.

AND ULTIMATELY, IF IT REACHES A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SEVERITY, THAT PEOPLE CAN BE ARRESTED.

IF THEY ARE CARRYING SIGNS IN THE PUBLIC FORUM, AS LONG AS THEY'RE CARRYING THEM AND THEY'RE NOT ATTACHED TO ANYTHING, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THAT.

[00:45:04]

HOWEVER, I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE OF THEM DRAWING ON THE SIDEWALK IN CHALK.

IF THEY'RE DEFACING PUBLIC PROPERTY, THAT'S A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO INTERVENE IF THEY ARE DEFACING PUBLIC PROPERTY.

THEY CAN BE CITED FOR THAT.

WE CAN TAKE THEM INTO MUNICIPAL COURT OVER IT.

AND IF IT'S A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH PIECE OF DAMAGE TO PUBLIC PROPERTY, IT CAN GO FARTHER THAN SIMPLY GETTING INTO MUNICIPAL COURT.

AND I'LL OBVIOUSLY DISCUSS THIS WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT LATER AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY OBSERVING THERE, BUT WE BASICALLY CAN'T STOP THERE VERBAL ACTIVITIES AND CARRYING PORTABLE SIGNS IN A PUBLIC FORUM, HOWEVER MUCH WE MIGHT DISLIKE IT, IT'S THE ULTIMATE PROTECTED SPEECH.

WELL, MAYBE WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH AFTER YOUR COMMUNICATION WITH THE POLICE AND JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE SO WE UNDERSTAND AS A COUNCIL.

AND MAYBE WE CAN GET SOME COMMUNICATION TO MS..

KEENEST AND HER NEIGHBORS.

AND SO THEY UNDERSTAND AS WELL.

YES, SIR. LET ME. POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU. WHEN I TALKED TO CAPTAIN LUNA, HE WAS NOT AWARE OF THE COLORING ON THE SIDEWALK.

AND I'M TALKING TWO FOOT TALL LETTERS.

HOWEVER, HE WAS GOING TO CHECK WITH DAVID ABER FOR THE CLEANING OF A MOF TO VERIFY THAT, BUT LIKE I SAID, IT WAS IN EVERY DIRECTION.

AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOR COMING DOWN.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK AT TONIGHT'S PUBLIC FORUM? OK SEEING NONE. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM AND MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX A, WHICH IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1268.

[6.A. Ordinance No. 1268, 2nd Reading, amending Chapter 9.5, Article II, of the Southlake Code of Ordinances. PUBLIC HEARING]

AND FOR THIS ONE WE HAVE DIRECTOR COHEN.

GOOD EVENING, SIR. EXCUSE ME.

MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'LL BE PRESENTING ITEM SIX A.

THIS IS A SECOND READING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A POST-CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE NUANCES, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE REASONS FOR IT, AND WE'LL ALSO TALK ABOUT THE APPLICABILITY AS WE SIT THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.

SO IN ESSENCE, FROM THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THE NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE AND ELIMINATION SYSTEM OR THE NPDS IS WHAT GUIDES THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY IS CHARGED WITH THAT OVERSIGHT.

THEY SUBSEQUENTLY DELEGATE THE STATES TO PERMIT THOSE ACTIVITIES.

AND THE CITY HAS ITS OWN PERMIT, THE MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM PERMIT.

THE MS FOUR PERMIT.

THE MS FOUR PERMIT ACTUALLY CONTAINS OPERATIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURES DESIGNED TO REDUCE POLLUTANTS THAT ARE COLLECTED BY STORMWATER, AS IT NOT ONLY RUNS OFF THE LAND WITHIN SOUTHLAKE, BUT IT'S CONVEYED THROUGH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND IT'S DISCHARGED THROUGH OPEN BODIES, WHETHER THE RIVERS, CREEKS OR LAKES.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE BEFORE YOU, MC1 THROUGH THREE, AS WELL AS FIVE MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURES ARE IN PLACE AS PART OF OUR EXISTING PERMIT.

THE ONE THAT'S NOT IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT, WHICH IS THE POST-CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

WE DO HAVE AN ORDINANCE, ORDINANCE NUMBER 605, WHICH ACTUALLY CALLS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF STORMWATER.

HOWEVER, THERE'S NO ENFORCEMENT.

THERE'S NO WAY FOR THE CITY TO ACTUALLY TAKE ANY ACTION FOR ANY PARTIES THAT DO NOT ACTUALLY FULFILL THEIR, QUOTE, OBLIGATION UNDERNEATH THIS ORDINANCE.

THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE, 1268, ACTUALLY CLOSES THAT GAP.

IT ACTUALLY REQUIRES A DOCUMENTATION OF THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, AND IT'S DONE THROUGH THE CODIFICATION OF A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, WHICH IS DONE THROUGH THE ENTITLEMENT PHASE WITH DEVELOPERS.

THIS SLIDE KIND OF SUMMARIZES WHO IT IMPACTS BASICALLY THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES, AND IT BASICALLY IMPACTS NEW DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT.

IT'S ACTUALLY AFFECTS THOSE AREAS THAT ARE DISTURBING ONE ACRE OR MORE INLAND.

AND IT'S NOT A CAVEAT.

IT'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

IT ACTUALLY GOES BACK TO THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEERS.

THEY'LL HAVE TO EVALUATE THE AMOUNT OF STORMWATER RUNOFF THAT OCCURS, BASICALLY INCREASE IN IMPERVIOUS AREA OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THEN STAFF WILL WORK WITH THEM TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE NEED FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN IS REQUIRED.

AS YOU CAN SEE. SO TYPICALLY WHAT WE HAVE IS A DEVELOPER COMES IN AND HANDS IT OFF TO AN HOA OR SOME OTHER ENTITY.

THAT RESPONSIBILITY THEN TRANSFERS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF IT, THE INSPECTION OF THEIR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND IS REQUIRED TO DOCUMENT THE INSPECTION AS WELL AS ANY ACTIONS THAT ARE TAKEN TO KEEP IT IN OPERATIONAL CONDITION.

AND THEN THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES.

WE'RE REQUIRED TO NOT ONLY INSPECT IT, BUT WE'RE INQUIRED TO ENFORCE VIOLATIONS THEREOF, AND WE'RE ALSO REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN RECORDS OF THOSE INSPECTIONS ON THE CITY RECORDS AS WELL AS MAKE SURE THAT THESE RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.

[00:50:07]

STAFF HAS WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY FOR THIS.

WE REVIEWED THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE LAST MARCH.

WE DID GO TO SPIN LAST FALL AROUND AUGUST TIMEFRAME.

WE TALKED TO THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO HAD SOME RESIDENTS THAT ALSO PARTICIPATED.

SOME OF THEIR COMMENTS WERE ADDRESSED.

OTHER COMMENTS WERE ADDRESSED THROUGH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

AND THE FINAL ORDINANCE THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT HAS BEEN VETTED THROUGH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

AND IT'S ALSO BEEN REVIEWED AND INPUT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SPIN PROCESS.

THIS ACTION BASICALLY ADHERES TO THE STRATEGY MAP AS YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE BEFORE YOU.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR COHEN. APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

WELL, ITEM SIX A IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO IF THERE'S ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM SIX A, I'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW.

SEEING NONE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COUNCIL IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? SEEMS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR COHEN. I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A FEW YEARS AGO ON THE 2035 PLAN WITH THE SUSTAINABILITY COMPONENT.

AND SO THIS IS SORT OF THE NEXT STEP IN THAT PROCESS.

SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE IT IN WRITING AND ABOUT TO BECOME AN ORDINANCE.

ABSOLUTELY. APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S WORK.

OKAY WITH THAT, WE'LL TAKE A MOTION.

YES. MAYOR COUNCIL. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX A, OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1268, SECOND READING, AMENDING CHAPTER 9.5, ARTICLE TWO OF THE SOUTHLAKE CODE OF ORDINANCES. WE HAVE A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM SIX A PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX B, ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-797 ZA 22-0059.

[6.B. Ordinance No. 480-797, ZA22-0059, 2nd Reading, Zoning Change and Concept Plan for The Madhani Residence on property described as Tract 8B, John J. Freshour Survey Abstract No. 521, located at 2260 Johnson Road, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. Proposed Zoning: "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood #11. PUBLIC HEARING]

DIRECTOR KILO.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

AND BEFORE I GET STARTED, I'M USUALLY SITTING BY MYSELF AT THIS TABLE, BUT THIS EVENING I HAVE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES NEW DEPUTY DIRECTOR JENNY CROSBY.

JENNY BEGAN WITH THE CITY EARLY 2001 AND HAS SERVED US GREATLY THROUGH THAT TIME PERIOD, AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HER CARRYING ON THE TRADITION OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AS WELL AS CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

SHE WILL BE PRESENTING THE NEXT ITEM, ITEM SIX C ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING, AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO INTRODUCE HER TO THE COUNCIL.

CONGRATULATIONS MISS JENNY, I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

UM, ITEM 6C IS A ZONING CHANGE ON PROPERTY AT 2260 JOHNSON ROAD.

THEY'RE REQUESTING A CHANGE OF ZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL TO SF-1A, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ON 1.5 ACRES.

THE LAND USE DESIGNATION ON THE PROPERTY IS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

AND CURRENT ZONING, OF COURSE, IS AGRICULTURAL.

IT ABUTS AGRICULTURAL ON THE WEST, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTH AND EAST ACROSS RANDALL MILL AND ACROSS JOHNSON IS SF1A, SINGLE FAMILY AS BEING REQUESTED THIS EVENING.

THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SITE.

AND THE PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN.

THIS IS THE TREE PROTECTION PLAN PROPOSED.

AND AS PART OF THIS REQUEST, THEY ARE ASKING FOR RELIEF ON SOME OF THAT TREE PROTECTION.

BASED ON THE EXISTING TREE COVER, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PRESERVE 70% OF WHAT IS EXISTING AND THEY ARE PROPOSING TO PRESERVE APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THAT.

THE TREES TO BE REMOVED ARE SHOWN IN RED AND CONFLICT WITH SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED.

AS YOU'LL SEE IN ONE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS TO FOLLOW.

CURRENTLY THERE IS AA2 SECTION DRIVE THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED THERE.

HOWEVER, WITH THEIR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY, THEY WANT TO RECONFIGURE THAT APPROACH AND WIDEN A CIRCULAR DRIVE THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR DELIVERY TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE PROPERTY AND EXIT THE PROPERTY IN A SLIGHTLY SAFER MANNER.

IT'S A LITTLE TIGHTER THAN WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED ON THIS PLAN AS THE APPROACH HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE PROPERTY LOOKING IN A SOUTH WESTERLY DIRECTION FROM RANDOL MILL.

[00:55:06]

THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING NORTH FROM JOHNSON ROAD.

THIS IS THE EXISTING APPROACH AND THEY'RE RECONFIGURING THAT, SHIFTING IT BACK THIS DIRECTION TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVES AND THIS PARTICULAR TREE WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THAT, WHICH IS, BY THE WAY, IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

NOW, THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THAT.

WE'VE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES FROM SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WERE NOTICED.

AND THIS ITEM WAS APPROVED AT YOUR LAST MEETING ON FIRST READING ON CONSENT.

WITH THAT, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

CONSIDER IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THEM.

JOHN. SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR DENNIS? OKAY, WE'LL STICK AROUND. WE MIGHT HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU IN A MINUTE.

SURE. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? YES. YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THE PRESENTATION? NO. I THINK YOU DID A PRETTY GOOD SHOT, AS HE USUALLY DOES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU.

WE MIGHT HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU HERE IN A MINUTE.

WE'LL JUST SEE. WELL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM SIX B, I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SEEING NONE. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL.

WE PASS THIS ON CONSENT LAST TIME.

ANY ISSUES THIS TIME AROUND? PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

EXCITED TO SEE DEVELOPMENT ON THE CORNER.

OK. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER ISSUES WHEN YOU THINK THROUGH, DENNIS? SOUNDS GOOD. WELL, IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, WE'LL TAKE A MOTION.

YES, MAYOR. IN COUNCIL. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX BE OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-797ZA 22-0059, SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE IN CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE MADONNY RESIDENT.

SOME PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS TRACT 8B, JOHN J.

FRESH HOUR SURVEY ABSTRACT NUMBER 521 LOCATED AT 2260 JOHNSON ROAD CITY OF SOUTH LAKE COUNTY, TEXAS.

AS A SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED JANUARY 31ST, 2023.

IN THE CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER THREE DATED DECEMBER 22ND, 2022 NOTING THAT THE THE TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE NUMBER 585-E REQUIRES 70% OF THE TREE CANOPY TO BE PRESERVED BASED ON 4.9% OF THE EXISTING TREE COVER.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING AND WILL BE APPROVING A VARIANCE TO PRESERVE APPROXIMATELY 60.4% OF THE TREE CANOPY INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 70%.

OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND.

SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

ALL RIGHT ITEM 6B PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

CONGRATULATIONS. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BUILDING.

AND WITH THAT, MOVE ON TO ITEM 6 C, WHICH IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1269, SECOND READING, ADOPTING THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE CONSOLIDATED FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

[6.C. Ordinance No. 1269, 2nd Reading, adopting the City of Southlake Consolidated Future Land Use Plan, an element of the Southlake Comprehensive Plan. PUBLIC HEARING]

WELCOME AND CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE TO PRESENT THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN UPDATE.

THIS IS OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED UPDATE AND IT'S A RELATIVELY MINOR UPDATE.

I'M JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE SLIDES REALLY QUICK ON THIS BACKGROUND.

BUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS JUST A REFLECTION OF OUR VALUES AND IT COMMUNICATES OUR VISION.

AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WE DO HAVE THIS NEW SOUTH LAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LOGO.

IN THE PAST, WE'VE WE'VE WE USE LOGOS THAT HAVE KIND OF GONE TO OUR PLANNING HORIZON 20, 25, 20, 30, 20, 35.

BUT WITH THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS THAT WE HAVE THERE, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THOSE ARE ON DIFFERENT REVIEW CYCLES, WE'RE JUST KIND OF MOVING FORWARD WITH JUST CALLING IT THE SOUTHLAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WHO USES THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY.

IT'S AN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DOCUMENT.

EVERYBODY WHO LIVE, WORKS AND PLAYS HERE HAS A USE FOR IT.

I WON'T READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE, BUT SOUTHLAKE DOES HAVE A VERY ROBUST, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

OUR NEXT PLAN ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ARE THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES MASTER PLAN AND A TECHNOLOGY MASTER PLAN.

AND THIS IS THE SCHEDULE THAT WE FOLLOWED.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PLAN FOR ABOUT THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

WE HAD SEVERAL PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSIONS.

WE DID DO THE SECTOR PLANNING THAT WE TYPICALLY DO LOOKING AT EACH INDIVIDUAL SECTOR AND THEN COMING UP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND WE DID HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE AND A SPIN MEETING AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THE REALITY IS BUILDOUT IS APPROACHING.

[01:00:01]

IT'S ABOUT HALF PLATTED AND HALF UNPLATTED.

AND THIS MAP HERE JUST SHOWS THE DISTRIBUTION OF THOSE UNDEVELOPED PARCELS ACROSS THE CITY.

AND THIS JUST SHOWS THE UNDEVELOPED PARCELS ACROSS THE CITY BASED ON THE UNDERLYING LAND USE.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF MIXED USE ALONG 114 AND THEN THE OTHER PARCELS ARE JUST KIND OF SPREAD OUT AROUND THE CITY.

IT'S MOSTLY MIXED USE AT ABOUT 346 ACRES, LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AT 311, AND MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AT 192.

AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT THAT INFORMATION.

THE BIG PIE GRAPH TWO SHOWS THAT WE'RE ABOUT A THIRD MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, A THIRD LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND A THIRD NON RESIDENTIAL.

AND YOU CAN SEE MIXED USE IS THE LARGEST CATEGORY THAT STILL HAS DEVELOPABLE ACRES.

AND JUST TOUCHING BRIEFLY, WE HAVE UNDERLYING LAND USE DESIGNATIONS, OVERLAY LAND USE DESIGNATIONS AND SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS.

EVERY PROPERTY IN SOUTH LAKE HAS AN UNDERLYING LAND USE WHICH KIND OF PREVENTS A BROAD PICTURE OF OF OUR DESIRED DEVELOPMENT.

WE ALSO HAVE OVERLAY LAND USE DESIGNATIONS, WHICH PROVIDES ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY.

WE ALSO USE THEM TO COMMUNICATE THE THE PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN BASED ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN AND A EVEN SMALLER SUBSET OF PROPERTIES HAVE A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AND THOSE JUST FURTHER COMMUNICATE THE VISION FOR THOSE PARTICULAR PROPERTIES.

HERE WE HAVE THE EXISTING SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN AND THE THE NEW PROPOSED PLAN.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY HUGE CHANGES BETWEEN THE TWO.

AND HERE WE JUST HAVE THE THE LAND USE DESIGNATION OR THE LAND USE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

JUST GOING BACK TO THE SECTOR PLANNING.

EACH EACH PROPOSED CHANGE HAS IT STARTS WITH LIKE AN N OR A NUMBER.

AND THAT JUST REFERS TO THE SECTOR PLAN AREA.

AND I'LL JUST RUN THROUGH THESE.

THE MAJOR THE MAJOR CHANGES.

ONE BY ONE WE HAVE AN E TWO AND THIS CHANGE FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

AND THAT'S JUST TO KIND OF RECONCILE IT WITH THE UNDERLYING ZONING.

THE UNDERLYING ZONING IS IN OUR PUD, THIS PREVIOUSLY MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL A FEW CYCLES BACK, MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DID ALLOW LIMITED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT.

THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE.

SO THIS JUST REALLY MAKES MORE SENSE TO CHANGE IT TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

114 ONE AND ONE A.

WHAT WE DID HERE IS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS THE AERIAL VIEW.

WE ADDED THIS LITTLE CORNER TO THE SITE SPECIFIC AREA, AND WE ALSO PULLED OUT THIS ONE AREA, ONE A AREA.

THE ONE A IS JUST KIND OF A DIFFICULT PIECE OF PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE THERE'S GOING TO BE THE KIRKWOOD EXPANSION HERE.

SO IT WAS JUST PROVIDING AN ADDITIONAL SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION THERE TO CONSIDER A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL OR JUST OPEN SPACE THERE.

AND THEN WE ALSO PULLED IN THAT LITTLE AREA IN THE CORNER HERE, JUST PULLED IT INTO THE LARGER AREA JUST BECAUSE WE WANTED A MORE COMPREHENSIVE WE WANTED MORE COMPREHENSIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS WHOLE AREA.

IT JUST REALLY DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO LEAVE THAT OUT.

FM-LU12, WE CHANGED THE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL AND WE ADDED A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION.

THIS, IT WAS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, BUT THIS IS IT'S BEING DEVELOPED AS OFFICE.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE THE SP ONE ZONING HERE, IT DOES ALLOW LIMITED RETAIL COMMERCIAL USES UP FRONT AND THE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

THE SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION IS JUST TO COINCIDE WITH THE ZONING.

WLU THREE.

WE JUST ADDED A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS.

THIS AREA ALREADY HAD SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS.

THIS IS ANOTHER CASE WHERE WE HAD THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL UNDERLYING LAND USE DESIGNATION.

AND AS I SAID BEFORE, WE USED TO ALLOW OFFICE COMMERCIAL UNDER MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

AND SINCE THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE, THIS PARTICULAR AREA HAD A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION TO ALLOW OFFICE WITH THE GUIDANCE OF OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT WE EXPAND THAT TO POSSIBLY RETAIL.

SO THAT WAS THE ONLY CHANGE THERE.

FMLU4, WE CHANGE FROM PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC TO MIXED USE.

IT'S JUST THIS LITTLE PROPERTY RIGHT HERE.

IT USED TO BE A CHURCH WAS OPERATING THERE, SO THAT'S WHY IT WAS PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC AND THAT CHURCH IS NO LONGER OPERATING THERE.

[01:05:01]

FMLU3, WE CHANGE FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO MIXED USE.

THIS IS MICHAEL DRIVE AND THIS AREA HERE WAS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

AND AGAIN, THAT'S KIND OF A HOLDOVER WHERE WE USED TO ALLOW OFFICE IN MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, SO CHANGING THAT TO MIXED USE TO MATCH THE REST OF THE MICHAEL DRIVE PROPERTIES.

ONE 114-LU10.

WE ADDED A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION.

THESE ARE THESE THREE LITTLE PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO WHITE CHAPEL, THE CORNER WITH HIGHLAND.

AND THIS THESE PROPERTIES HAVE THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION AND WE JUST ARE ADDING A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION TO CONSIDER OFFICE DEVELOPMENT THERE IF THOSE PROPERTIES ARE REDEVELOPED.

SE-LU3, WE ARE JUST ADDING A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION, AND THIS IS IN RELATION TO THE EXPANSION OR EXTENSION COMPLETION OF VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE.

THIS PROPERTY IS GOING TO HAVE SOME DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES WITH THE VILLAGE THAT ARE VILLAGE CENTER DRIVE ALIGNMENT AND IT'S JUST TO ALLOW THE SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION IS SIMPLY TO ALLOW TO CONSIDER ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY WHEN THESE PROPERTIES COME IN FOR DEVELOPMENT.

FM-LU11, WE EXPANDED THE BOUNDARY AND CHANGED THE UNDERLYING DESIGNATION FOR MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

YOU MAY RECALL THIS ONE, IT CAME IN.

IT WAS A DEVELOPER INITIATED LAND USE CHANGE.

THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T CHANGE THE UNDERLYING LAND USE.

THEY HAD A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION FOR OFFICE.

AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE IS TO EXPAND THE BOUNDARY OF THAT.

AND INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION, JUST CHANGING IT TO OFFICE AND ONE OF THE PROPERTIES HERE ALREADY DOES HAVE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT ON IT.

AND ONE 114-LU11.

THIS IS FOR GATEWAY PLAZA.

I'LL GO INTO THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THIS NEXT SLIDE.

THIS 114-LU11, WE ARE ADDING A RESTAURANT AND SPECIALTY RETAIL OVERLAY, AND THAT'S JUST TO IF THIS PROPERTY IS EVER REDEVELOPED, IT JUST ALLOWS ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE.

THERE'S JUST SINCE THIS IS THE EASTERN GATEWAY TO THE CITY.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE PAID TO THAT AREA.

114-LU7, WE ADDED THE MIXED MEDICAL AND OFFICE OVERLAY.

114-LU6, WE CHANGE FROM MIXED MEDICAL AND OFFICE OVERLAY TO CAMPUS OFFICE OVERLAY.

114-LU2, WE CHANGED FROM MIXED MEDICAL AND OFFICE OVERLAY TO MULTITENANT OFFICE OVERLAY AND ALSO 114-LU2, WE REMOVE THE RESTAURANT AND SPECIALTY RETAIL OVERLAY FROM THIS AREA HERE SINCE THERE IS PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THERE.

AND THESE CHANGES HERE ON THIS PARTICULAR OVERLAY MAP WERE GUIDED BY OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

SO LOOKING AT THE COMPARISON OF 2018 AND 2023, THE LAND USES PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC WENT DOWN BY ONE ACRE.

LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DECREASED BY SEVEN ACRES, MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL BY 36 ACRES.

OFFICE COMMERCIAL INCREASED BY 39 ACRES AND MIXED USE INCREASED BY FIVE ACRES.

SO I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WELL, THAT WAS VERY THOROUGH.

IT SOUNDS LIKE MOSTLY YOU GUYS WERE CLEANING UP WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE ON THE ZONING SIDE.

IS THAT RIGHT? YES.

YEAH, THAT WAS KIND OF THE INTENT.

WE WEREN'T LOOKING AT ANY MAJOR OVERHAUL OR ANYTHING.

YEAH, IT MAKES SENSE.

THAT'S THE ONE PIECE I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE OF IS OBVIOUSLY, LAND USE IS NOT BINDING, ZONING IS BINDING, BUT WE TRY TO BE CONSISTENT AS MUCH AS WE CAN. SO THE CHANGES ARE STILL IMPORTANT.

TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR TO DIRECTOR KEILLOR'S KNOWLEDGE IN DOING THAT, MOST OF IT LOOKS LIKE CLEANUP.

IT'S LIKE COLORING IN A WATER PAINTING YOU'RE COLORING IN, RIGHT? BUT DID WE DOWN, DOWN ZONE IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD, BUT DID WE DOWN LAND USE ANY PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT I KNOW WE SENT 115 NOTICES TO PROPERTY OWNERS AND DIDN'T GET ANY RESPONSES.

SO THAT'S GOOD.

BUT ARE THERE ANY THAT TO YOUR TOP OF YOUR HEAD WOULD CAUSE A LANDOWNER TO GO, WOW, IT'S LESS RESTRICTIVE.

I MEAN, IT'S MORE RESTRICTIVE NOW THAN WHAT I INTENDED? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

I MEAN, MOST OF THEM WERE LIKE LIKE THIS EXAMPLE HERE GOING FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

SO THAT'S THAT'S ACTUALLY UP PROBABLY.

YEAH. YEAH. AN UP USE.

YES. WELL THAT'S THE SECOND HALF OF MY QUESTION IS THAT THAT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE IS ADJACENT LANDOWNERS DID NOT GET NOTICE.

LANDOWNERS GOT NOTICE.

I JUST IT JUST CAUSED ME A LITTLE BIT OF PAUSE SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU'RE CHANGING LAND USE ADJACENT TO

[01:10:01]

WE JUST NEED TO BE HUNDRED PERCENT AWARE OF EVERY PIECE WE'RE DOING HERE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? [INAUDIBLE] AND ACTUALLY, I HAD A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THIS PIECE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

WHERE EXACTLY IS THIS? AM I MISSING MARKERS? I MEAN, I CAN SEE THAT..

THAT'S THE NEW OFFICE BUILDING THAT WAS BUILT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TENNIS COURTS AT TIMBERLAKE.

IT'S WHERE THE TAXIDERMIST USED TO BE, RIGHT? YES. OKAY, SO THERE'S AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT HERE, AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER OFFICE DEVELOPMENT HERE.

DOES LAND USE DESIGNATION CHANGES NOT I ASSUME IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER A SPIN PROCESS OR WAS IT A SPIN PROCESS? WE HAD A SPIN MEETING. WE DID, YES.

YEAH, WE HAD WE HAD AN OPEN HOUSE AND ANYBODY COME, WE HAD A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE, I WANT TO SAY SEVEN OR EIGHT I THINK WAS.

BUT THAT'S WELL POSTED, OBVIOUSLY IN ALL THESE AREAS.

SO EVEN IF YOU'RE AN ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER, YOU DO HAVE A DEGREE OF NOTIFICATION THAT SOMETHING MIGHT BE CHANGING.

THAT'S IMPORTANT. SURE.

I THINK THE CONSIDERATIONS GIVEN FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA WAS JUST HOW THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS HAVE EVOLVED AND THE PIECE THAT'S LEFT IN THE MIDDLE, HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT SOMEONE WOULD COME IN WITH A MEDIUM DENSITY DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL FOR THAT.

AND WE WERE JUST MAKING IT CONSISTENT WITH THE TWO ZONING THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE THERE AND WHAT IS REMAINING. YEAH.

WELL, I FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT THAT IT'S A LAND.

AGAIN, LAND USE IS IMPORTANT, BUT IT'S NOT BINDING.

ZONING IS BINDING. AND SO AS LONG AS WE'RE FLEXIBLE TO THAT AND UNDERSTAND IF THINGS COME IN FRONT OF US DOWN THE ROAD, WE DO NEED TO BE OPEN TO THE FACT THAT WE POTENTIALLY CHANGED A SMALL PARCEL HERE OR THERE, THAT THERE COULD BE SOME IDIOSYNCRASIES TO CONSIDER IF OUR ZONING REQUESTS WERE TO COME.

OTHER THAN THAT, I'M FINE WITH IT.

AND THERE IS THE ALTERNATIVE HERE.

I MEAN, THIS PROPERTY RIGHT HERE HAS A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION FOR OFFICE.

I MEAN, WE COULD CHANGE THIS WHOLE BOUNDARY HERE TO JUST MAKE IT A SITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION AND MAINTAIN THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL UNDERLYING LAND USE.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S EVER GOING TO DEVELOP THIS MEDIUM DENSITY.

YEAH, NO, I LIKE YOUR CHANGE.

YOUR CHANGE MAKES SENSE.

YEP. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? GREAT JOB. THANKS. THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. I, I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE MORE THING.

I KNOW I'VE BEEN TALKING A LOT TONIGHT, BUT I HAVE TO BRAG ON THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

SO OFTEN THIS EFFORT IS OUTSOURCED AND A LOT OF PLANNING DOCUMENTS, NOT NECESSARILY LAND USE PLANS, BUT A LOT OF PLANNING DOCUMENTS ARE JUST KIND OF THEIR SUGGESTIONS.

AND THIS IS PART OF OUR STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND WE WORK AT AND IT'S SO GREAT TO HAVE SOMEBODY WITH A TALENT THAT JENNY HAS TO LEAD THIS PROCESS AND MAKE SURE WE GET REALLY GOOD PLANS THAT WE CAN USE DAY TO DAY REALLY. AND SHE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THAT WE HAVE SEVERAL ELEMENTS TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THOSE ARE ALL DEVELOPED IN HOUSE.

SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE PLANNING TEAM BECAUSE IF WE HAD TO OUTSOURCE THAT WORK, IT WOULD BE HORRIFICALLY EXPENSIVE.

THEY DO IT IN HOUSE AND MAKE A REALLY USABLE SET OF PLANS FOR US AND IT'S JUST REALLY STELLAR WORK.

YEAH. YEAH.

WELL SAID. I LIKE THAT YOU GUYS DON'T JUST KEEP IT ON THE SHELF.

THIS IS A LIVING DOCUMENT AND IT'S USED, WELL USED.

SO. YEAH. GREAT JOB.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, THIS IS PUBLIC HEARING.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY WANTING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW.

SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COUNCIL IF THERE'S ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.

IF NOT, WE'LL TAKE A MOTION.

YES, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX C OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS ORDINANCE NUMBER 1269.

SECOND READING, ADOPTING THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE CONSOLIDATED FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, AN ELEMENT OF THE SOUTHLAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED JANUARY 31ST, 2023.

WE HAVE A MOTION, IS THERE A SECOND.

SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM 60 PASSES SEVEN ZERO, AND THAT'S IT FOR OUR AGENDA.

SO TONIGHT'S MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
