[3. Honors & Recognition: Proclamation for the Southlake Carroll Speech and Debate Team's National Championship]
AND IT'S A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.AND I'M GOING TO INVITE THEIR COACH, ANTHONY BROWN, TO COME DOWN AND INTRODUCE THE TEAM AND SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THEIR JOURNEY AND HOW THEY GOT TO THE POINT OF BEING NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THEM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US TODAY.
THEY WENT TO PHOENIX, ARIZONA IN JUNE.
WE GO EVERY YEAR FOR OUR NATIONAL SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENT TO END THE YEAR.
THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS COME, MULTIPLE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ARE REPRESENTED.
SPECIFICALLY, THEY DO AN EVENT CALLED PUBLIC FORUM IN PUBLIC FORUM.
IT'S A TEAM EVENT. THEY GET A CURRENT ISSUE.
THEY HAVE TO TALK THROUGH IT, FIGURE OUT A RESOLUTION.
SO WE'RE REALLY GLAD TO NOT ONLY REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO OUR STATE.
GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE GOT TO MEET THE GUYS EARLIER.
CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO LAST SUMMER, ACTUALLY, ANDY'S PARTNER HAD GOTTEN VACATION PLANS THAT HE DIDN'T EXPECT.
THEY ENDED UP GETTING TOP SIX AT THAT TOURNAMENT, TOP 16 AUTO QUALIFY.
THEY EMAILED US THIS YEAR, SAID YOU'RE AUTO QUALIFIED.
WE SAID THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY A TEAM.
ANBU SAID, I'M GOING TO GRADUATE.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF I WANT TO GO.
WE DECIDED, WHY NOT? LET'S JUST GO ENJOY OURSELVES.
AND WE FLEW BACK WITH THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY.
[00:05:01]
SO IT WAS A COOL, COOL COINCIDENCE TO HAPPEN UPON SUCH A COOL ACCOMPLISHMENT..RIGHT. I THINK I THINK, YOU KNOW, PRETTY DECENT.
WELL, LET'S HEAR FROM OUR NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.
OF COURSE. MY NAME IS ANBU SUBRAMANIAN.
I JUST GRADUATED FROM CARROLL THIS PAST MAY.
I'M GOING TO BE HEADING TO UT DALLAS TO STUDY NEUROSCIENCE ON THE PREMED TRACK.
JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF.
I'VE BEEN IN SPEECH AND DEBATE SINCE AROUND FIFTH GRADE, SO IT'S BEEN A BIG PART OF MY LIFE FOR THESE PAST EIGHT YEARS, AND I'M SUPER GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD SUPPORT ME WITH IT. COACH BAILEY, EVERYONE ON MY TEAM, ESPECIALLY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS WHO HAVE WORKED TO GET US TO TRAVEL TO ALL THESE GREAT PLACES.
WE WENT TO FLORIDA, HARVARD, THE BRONX.
IF YOU ALL LOOK AT THIS PICTURE, WE'RE ACTUALLY IN HAWAIIANS AND KHAKIS.
USUALLY WHEN YOU GO TO DEBATE TOURNAMENTS, YOU'RE VERY FORMALLY DRESSED, SUIT, TIE, WHOLE SHEBANG.
SO WE ENDED UP GOING TO THE NEARBY TARGET, BUYING OURSELVES A FEW CLOTHES.
EVERY TIME THEY WERE LIKE, WHO ARE THESE GUYS? I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DEBATING.
AND SO WE HAD TO EXPLAIN OURSELVES A BIT AS IT WENT ON.
I'M GOING TO BE A RISING SENIOR AT THE SENIOR HIGH.
AND, YOU KNOW, ME AND ANBU WERE THE ONES THAT ENDED UP WITH THE TROPHIES.
RIGHT. BUT I'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE SEVENTH GRADE, AND EVERY ONE OF OUR TEAMMATES AND OUR COACH AND THE SCHOOL STAFF AND EVERYONE, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT REALLY MADE IT POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ONES IN THE ROUND.
WELL DONE, COACH. ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD BEFORE WE READ A PROCLAMATION ON THEIR BEHALF? NO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US.
REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF THE TEAM.
WE KNOW THAT BAILEY IS GOING TO DO JUST AS GOOD THIS YEAR AND HIS SENIOR YEAR.
VERY EXCITED. WE'RE ALL VERY PROUD OF YOU.
GREAT JOB. SO DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION TO READ AND THEN WE'LL GET A PICTURE WITH YOU ALL IF IT'S OKAY.
AND HE WANTED TO STAY TO BE PART OF THIS CEREMONY IN THIS PICTURE.
SO STICK AROUND. I'LL READ THE PROCLAMATION AND THEN WE'LL TAKE THAT PICTURE.
SO THIS IS A PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, WHEREAS IT IS WITH IMMENSE PRIDE AND JOY THAT WE GATHER HERE TODAY TO HONOR AND RECOGNIZE THE REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SOUTHLAKE CARROLL SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM IN THEIR HISTORIC FIRST EVER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WIN.

[00:10:45]
ALL RIGHT, I MISSED PRINCIPAL WILSON, BUT OF COURSE, YOU ALL JUST SAW HIM.AND HE'S OBVIOUSLY PART OF THAT TEAM'S SUCCESS AS PRINCIPAL OF CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.
NEXT UP IS ITEM NUMBER FOUR, THE SOUTHLAKE BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT.
[4. Southlake Business Spotlight - Texas Security Bank, 2012 E. State Highway 114]
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST STEPHANIE BERNARD, AND SHE'LL PRESENT A VIDEO SHOWCASING THIS YEAR'S FOCUS BUSINESS, TEXAS SECURITY BANK.YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.
I AM EXCITED, AS ALWAYS, TO BE HERE TO INTRODUCE THE SOUTHLAKE BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT.
SHE'S OVER A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE DREW KEITH.
HE'S THEIR PRESIDENT. I'M GOING TO ASK THEM TO STEP UP AND SAY A FEW WORDS AFTER THE VIDEO.
[VIDEO] GOOD AFTERNOON, SOUTHLAKE THIS IS CRAIG SHEAF, I'M THE CHAIRMAN, FOUNDER AND CEO OF TEXAS SECURITY BANK.
AND OUR FOCUS IS OWNER MANAGED BUSINESSES.
WE HAVE A PASSION FOR FREE ENTERPRISE AND THE PEOPLE THAT EXERCISE THE RIGHT OF FREE ENTERPRISE.
AND FIRST LOCATION WAS DOWN IN THE DESIGN DISTRICT OF DALLAS AND OUR SECOND ONE WAS IN GARLAND OR IS IN GARLAND, AND OUR THIRD ONE IS IN THE FARMERS BRANCH AREA OF DALLAS, AND THOSE ARE ALL HIGH CONCENTRATION OWNER MANAGED BUSINESSES, BUSINESS TRADE, TRADE AREAS. AND WE KNEW WE EVENTUALLY NEEDED TO GET INTO TARRANT COUNTY.
JUST LOOKING AT THE PROSPERITY AND GROWTH OF TARRANT COUNTY.
WE DECIDED TO GET GET IN TARRANT COUNTY BY GOING INTO SOUTHLAKE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE COUNTY, AND THERE'S LOTS OF GREAT COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL TRADE AREAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.
BUT WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT SOUTHLAKE IS JUST THE NUMBER OF BUSINESS OWNERS THAT LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST TARRANT COUNTY AREA, WHICH INCLUDES SOUTHLAKE AND GRAPEVINE AND WESTLAKE AND KELLER.
AND WE OPENED OUR DOORS IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR.
WE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE IN IN JULY OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
BUT WE'RE IN AND WE'RE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS.
NOW THE UNIQUE THING ABOUT TEXAS SECURITY BANK IS OUR FOCUS ON OWNER MANAGED BUSINESSES.
SO WE HAVE A SPEAKER SERIES WHICH IS EDUCATIONAL BASED FOR BUSINESS OWNERS AND THEIR KEY PLAYERS.
WE ALSO HAVE AN ACADEMY THAT'S ONE YEAR PROGRAM, EVERYTHING FROM ACCOUNTING ONE, ACCOUNTING TWO, HOW TO FUND A BUSINESS, SALES MANAGEMENT, MARKETING, BRANDING ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE INEVITABLE OF EITHER PREPARING THE BUSINESS FOR AN EVENT SALE OR OR THROUGH SUCCESSION. TODAY, WE'RE ABOUT 1,000,000,003 IN ASSETS.
WE COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT BEING IN TARRANT COUNTY.
I NOW LIVE ACTUALLY IN COLLEYVILLE AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE BANK LIVES IN KELLER NEARBY.
AND SO WE'RE COMMITTED TO TO DEVELOPING TARRANT COUNTY FOR TEXAS SECURITY BANK.
AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ASK THEM TO COME UP AND SAY A FEW WORDS.
SO AS I SAID, CRAIG SHEAF, WE HAVE MARY GRACE DENNIS AND WE HAVE DREW KEITH PRESIDENT.
ALL RIGHT, CRAIG, WHY DON'T YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO THE AUDIENCE AND AND YOUR TEAM AND TELL US ABOUT THE BANK? OKAY. WELL, I'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT IT THERE.
[00:15:02]
THAT'S WHERE MYSELF AND DREW AND OUR CHIEF PLANNING OFFICER, CHRIS JONES, REALLY JUST GOT THE IDEA FOR A BANK THAT WAS TOTALLY FOCUSED ON OWNER MANAGED BUSINESSES BECAUSE WE'RE JUST ASTOUNDED BY THE FREE ENTERPRISE STORIES THAT WE'VE HEARD OVER THE LAST 35 YEARS OF HOW PEOPLE START BUSINESSES AND A LOT OF THEM DON'T MAKE IT, BUT A LOT OF THEM DO.AND WHEN THEY DO, THE REST OF US BENEFIT IN TERMS OF JOB CREATION AND PAYING TAXES.
AND SO WE WANTED TO CREATE AN ORGANIZATION THAT WAS REALLY A VALUE ADDED RESOURCES RESOURCE FOR THOSE BUSINESSES, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREA OF CONTINUING CONTINUING EDUCATION. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT YOUR AVERAGE OWNER MANAGED BUSINESS, PROBABLY ABOUT 80% OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS, IF THEY HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY IN ONE OF THE BUSINESS DISCIPLINES.
SO THEY'RE STARVED FOR BUSINESS RELATED EDUCATION AND THAT'S WHAT WE SEEK TO PROVIDE.
PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE IN SOUTHLAKE IF NOT FOR MARY GRACE.
MARY GRACE HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE FOR A LONG TIME.
I HIRED HER AS A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OFFICER FOR TARRANT COUNTY.
I JUST KIND OF TAKING IN THIS IS MY FIRST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, TAKING IN THE MEETING.
AND YOU GUYS, I MEAN, SOUTHLAKE REALLY NEEDS TO BE CONGRATULATED FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY'VE BUILT IS BUILDING, PARTICULARLY IN TERMS OF REMOVING THE IMPEDIMENTS TO FREE ENTERPRISE FLOURISHING IN THE COMMUNITY.
YOUR BUSINESS FRIENDLY ATTITUDE, YOUR SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES.
SO JUST VERY HUMBLED AND VERY GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.
SO MARY GRACE HAS DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB.
BY THE WAY, I DON'T WANT TO FORGET TEXAS SECURITY BANK HAS GREAT RATES ON DEPOSITS.
BUT MARY GRACE HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB HELPING US GET PLUGGED INTO THIS COMMUNITY AND THE NUMBER OF BUSINESS OWNERS THAT WE'VE ADDED AS CUSTOMERS JUST OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF IS TRULY ASTOUNDING.
AND IT'S IN LARGE PART TO MARY GRACE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING.
AND THEN DREW KEITH, ONE OF MY PARTNERS IN CRIME, DREW AND I HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE 1990, 1992.
AND I WANTED TO GET HIM BACK INTO MORE OF A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT RELATED ROLE.
AND THIS IS SUCH A BIG COMMITMENT, SUCH A BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR US.
WE BOTH I MOVED FROM EAST DALLAS.
HE MOVED FROM CENTRAL DALLAS OVER OVER NEAR NORTH PARK OVER HERE.
AND WE HAVE JUST LOVED LIVING HERE, NOT JUST THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT, BUT JUST THE QUALITY OF LIFE.
SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL THAT WE'RE HERE AND LOOK FORWARD TO DEEPENING THE RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY. SO WELL SO FAR.
I THINK YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY.
I THINK WE MET IT WAS PROBABLY PRE-COVID.
I THINK YOU AND I AND MARY GRACE MET MAYBE EARLY 2020 ABOUT YOUR PLANS OR YOUR THOUGHTS FOR COMING TO SOUTHLAKE, AND I'M JUST SO HAPPY THAT IT BECAME A REALITY. I'M SURE THERE WERE SOME CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY, BUT YEAH, WHAT A WHAT A RIBBON CUTTING AND OPEN HOUSE YOU ALL HAD AT THE AT THE BANK OVER THERE AT THE DISTRICT 114 A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WAS A FULL HOUSE WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND OUR CITY STAFF THERE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANYONE ON THE COUNCIL? NO, I WOULD SAY THANKS FOR COMING AND THANKS FOR CHOOSING SOUTHLAKE.
YOU HAVE AN AMAZING BRANCH THERE.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN, YOU SHOULD STOP BY.
MARY GRACE DOES AN AMAZING JOB RECRUITING OUT HERE.
SHE'S OBVIOUSLY PROVEN THAT HERE.
SO YOU SEE THESE GUYS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY'RE THEY'RE REALLY INVOLVED.
YOU'VE JUMPED IN WITH BOTH FEET.
THANK YOU. AND I'LL JUST SAY SOMETHING REALLY QUICKLY.
YOU TALKED ABOUT EDUCATING OWNER MANAGED BUSINESSES.
MOST BUSINESSES DON'T THRIVE OR THEY'RE NOT, THEY LACK SUCCESS, NOT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BE.
IT'S BECAUSE THEY LACK THE EDUCATION NEEDED ABOUT THE MARKET OVERALL.
THEY TYPICALLY DON'T KNOW BUSINESS.
AND I ALSO COMMEND YOU FOR LOCATING THIS BANK HERE AND LIVING IN COLLEYVILLE.
[00:20:05]
COLLEYVILLE IS MY SECOND FAVORITE CITY.I LIVED THERE FOR TWO YEARS AND I LOVE IT.
I MEAN, COME ON CAMERA, LET ME SAY THAT.
BUT NO, SERIOUSLY, THANK YOU FOR LOCATING HERE AND DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
I APPRECIATE THAT. YEAH, I'M GOING TO CHIME IN AS WELL AS AN OWNER MANAGED BUSINESS IN TOWN, I HAVE MY BANK ACCOUNTS AT TEXAS SECURITY BANK IN LARGE PART TO MARY GRACE TENNIS APPROACHING ME WHEN WE WERE OPENING A SMALL TITLE AGENCY HERE IN TOWN.
AND THEY ABSOLUTELY WALK THE WALK, Y'ALL.
THERE'S BEEN VERY FEW HICCUPS, BUT WHEN THERE HAS BEEN, THEY ARE ON IT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S 430 THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS SHUT DOWN. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED TO OUR SUCCESS AS A BUSINESS OWNER.
AND I CAN SPEAK TO THE BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SERIES AND ALL THE EDUCATION.
WE'RE CONSTANTLY GETTING EMAILS ABOUT THE EDUCATION SERIES AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES.
SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY.
IT WAS REALLY FUN TO WATCH MARY GRACE TELL ME THAT Y'ALL WERE COMING TO SOUTHLAKE AND I'M LIKE, OKAY, WELL WE'LL SEE, RIGHT? BUT I BELIEVED AND I TRUSTED AND YOU GUYS HAVE JUST ABSOLUTELY WALKED THE WALK.
AND WE'RE THANKFUL FOR THE PARTNERSHIP AND WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE IN TOWN.
I DON'T HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR YOU.
YOU DID NOT WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP LIKE OUR PRIOR GUEST.
BUT IF IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU ALL, CAN WE GET A PICTURE WITH YOU BEFORE YOU LEAVE? YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE MEETING.
BUT JUST IN CASE YOU DO LEAVE, CAN WE GET A PICTURE WITH YOU ALL THE PICTURES.
I THINK YOU SHOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS ITEM NUMBER FIVE MOBILITY SYSTEM OVERVIEW.
[5. Mobility System Overview]
AND WE'LL WELCOME ROB COHEN, THE DIRECTOR OF OUR PUBLIC WORKS, TO BRIEF THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE MOBILITY SYSTEM.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
AS YOU RECALL, WE TALKED ABOUT THE WATER SYSTEM AND THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM.
AND THEN TONIGHT WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE MOBILITY SYSTEM.
SO THE FORMAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DISCUSSED THIS PAST SUMMER.
WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SYSTEM IN ITS ENTIRETY.
WE'LL TALK REALLY ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE SYSTEM AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT PLANS MOVING FORWARD.
SO REAL QUICK, SOME SOME QUICK INFORMATION REGARDING WHAT OUR SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT WE HAVE OUR CITY OWNED INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH INCLUDES THE INTERSECTIONS.
THOSE ARE MAINTAINED BY OUR TRAFFIC SUPERVISOR, MR. MIGUEL PALOS, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR ADMINISTRATION, MS..
LAUREN LANEVE. ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU KIND OF SEE THAT WE MAINTAIN AND RECAPITALIZE OVER 200 MILES OF ROADWAY AS WELL AS 199 MILES OF PATHWAYS AND TRAILS, SIDEWALKS IN ESSENCE.
AND THOSE ARE MAINTAINED BY OUR STREETS WITHIN OUR OPERATIONS DIVISION OR OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR OPERATIONS, MR. JACK THOMPSON.
AS YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE TWO MAJOR THOROUGHFARES THAT TRAVEL THROUGH THE CITY.
THERE ARE REALLY SIX LANE DIVIDED ARTERIALS MAINTAINED AND OPERATED BY TXDOT.
THERE IS A 22 DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS AND OVER 12 MILES OF ROADWAYS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
WE'LL TALK A LITTLE ABOUT OUR HEALTH OF OUR SYSTEM.
THE HEALTH OF THE SYSTEM IS REALLY THROUGH TWO PRONGS.
ONE IS A VERY IN-DEPTH AND ROBUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE STRUCTURE THIS PAST SUMMER, SO WE WON'T GO INTO THAT TOO MUCH DETAIL.
AND THEN WE TALK PRETTY MUCH OF A PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, WHICH IS QUITE ROBUST.
[00:25:05]
OUR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE MAJOR ELEMENTS THERE.I PICKED SIX ELEMENTS THAT REALLY DEFINE WHO WE ARE WITHIN OUR STREETS DIVISION.
WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF DOING SMALL SCALE REPAIRS.
ABOUT 17 TO 20% OF OUR BUDGET IS DEDICATED JUST FOR STREET MATERIALS.
WE'LL UNDERTAKE STRIPING AS WELL.
AS THAT BUDGET IS SLOWLY EXHAUSTED, WE'LL PROBABLY SEEK OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTINUE THE STRIPING, BUT OTHER FUNDS WILL OBVIOUSLY BE THE SOURCE OF THE FUNDING WILL HAVE TO BE CHOSEN WISELY.
OUR FOUR FTES ALSO MAINTAIN ALSO MAINTAIN SIGNAL CABINETS FOR THE INTERSECTIONS.
EACH OF THE CABINETS HAVE WHAT WE CALL BACKUP BATTERY UNITS.
SO IF WE NEED THEM IN AN EVENT OF A PROBLEM, THEY'LL BE OPERATIONAL AND WORKING.
OUR MAINTAINERS ALSO WILL WORK ON OUR SCHOOL ZONE AND CROSSWALK CROSSWALK FLASHERS.
WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE THAT'S DONE.
WE HAVE A CONTRACTOR THAT DOES OUR RECAPITALIZATION OF THE ROADWAYS, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE AN ILA OR AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH TARRANT COUNTY IN WHICH EVERY YEAR WE CHOOSE ONE ROADWAY SECTION TO PARTNER WITH THEM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CONTINUES TO MEET OUR STANDARDS.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE ANNUAL INVESTMENT IS REALLY IN THE YELLOW OR THE ORANGE COLORED GRAPH LINE THAT ACTUALLY STARTS LOW, KIND OF OSCILLATES, AND THEN IT STARTS AN UPWARD TREND UP THROUGH 2023.
CONVERSELY, YOU KIND OF SEE THE PQI OR THE PAVEMENT QUALITY INDEX VALUES.
THOSE ARE REPRESENTED BY THE THE DARKER ORANGE OR BROWNISH LINE, AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW IT DEGRADES OR DROPS AND THEN YOU HAVE THE OSCILLATION AND THEN YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT STARTS GOING UP IN 2021.
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION HERE THAT ENGINEERS LIKE TO PULL OUT.
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF DEEP DIVING WITHIN THE DATA AND CONDUCTED DATA ANALYTICS IN WHICH WE BASICALLY IMPROVED OUR PROCESSES AND CHANGED THE WAY WE DO THINGS IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE NOT ONLY OUR RESOURCES, BUT ALSO THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT THROUGH ALSO CHOOSING WHICH SECTION OF ROADWAYS WILL HAVE THE MOST IMPACT UPON OUR INVESTMENT.
AND THAT WAS DONE THROUGH OUR BUSINESS MANAGER, MR. ZAYNE HUFF. SO THESE TWO SLIDES BASICALLY OR THIS THIS SLIDE HAS TWO CHARTS ON IT.
THE TOP CHART REALLY SHOWS THE PAVEMENT TYPE.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO SPECIFIC TYPES IN THE CITY.
ONE IS CONCRETE, ONE IS ASPHALT.
AS YOU LOOK ON THE LOWER SLIDE, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT THE CONDITION OF THE CONCRETE OR CONCRETE PAVEMENT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE ASPHALT PAVEMENT, AND THAT IS OBVIOUS TO SEE THAT THE CONCRETE AND THE AMOUNT OF CONCRETE THAT HAS BEEN ADDED THROUGH THE YEARS HAS HAD A POSITIVE AND A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON OUR ASPHALT PAVEMENT QUALITY INDEX.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE COMING UP FOR OUR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS TO THE LOWER LEFT HAND SLIDE SHOWS YOU WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND REQUESTING WITHIN THE BUDGET SUBMISSION FOR 2024.
SOME OF THOSE ARE PARTNERSHIPS SUCH AS THE 729 AND PEARSON LANE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS.
WE WERE PARTNERING WITH KELLER FOR THAT.
WE ALSO SUBMITTED THAT FOR THE TARRANT COUNTY BOND FUNDING PROGRAM, WHICH DID NOT QUALIFY.
THEY CONTRIBUTED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THAT THROUGH THEIR BOND PROGRAM.
[00:30:03]
YOU HAVE THE PATHWAYS IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL AS CONTINUAL INVESTMENT AND SYSTEMIC EFFORTS FOR MAINTAINING OUR PQI THROUGH THE PMA PROGRAM, AS WELL AS LOOKING FORWARD TO COMPLETING THE MARANATHA BOULEVARD CONNECTION.OUR FUTURE OUTLOOK FOR 23, 24 AND 25 IS PRETTY MUCH AS YOU SEE, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE'S A PROPOSAL FOR AN INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS, ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT THAT'S DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY INTERSECTIONS ALONG THE 114 CORRIDOR AND OTHER INTERSECTIONS THAT WILL NEED SOME TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT, WHETHER IT'S FOR ADA AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITY OR LEVEL OF SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS.
THIS WILL BE A HIGH ARCHING, OVERARCHING AND TOP LEVEL REVIEW OF SOME INTERSECTIONS.
YOU'LL ALSO SEE AN ITEM FOR AN ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT WHICH WILL KICK THAT INITIATIVE OFF.
AND THAT PRETTY MUCH CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE.
I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY RIGHT NOW.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? I THINK WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THIS ALONG THE WAY THROUGH BUDGET PLANNING AND ALL THAT.
THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR.
[6. Discuss all items on tonight's agenda. No action will be taken and each item will be considered during the Regular Session.]
ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS ITEM NUMBER SIX ON OUR AGENDA TO DISCUSS ALL THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE ITEMS THAT WILL BE MAKING MOTIONS AND VOTING ON COUNCIL MEMBERS TALLEY AND COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON WILL BE HANDLING THOSE MOTIONS.ITEM 4B, APPROVING THE MINUTES FROM THE JUNE 22ND, 2023 CITY COUNCIL SUMMER WORKSHOP.

YES MAYOR PRO TEM, I'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT WE'RE MOVING THE FOLLOWING ITEMS FROM THE REGULAR AGENDA TO CONSENT AGENDA AND APPROVING THESE ITEMS.

[00:35:04]
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE? RIGHT. GOOD PLAN.THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER. TALLEY.
NEXT UP, WE'LL CALL THE REGULAR SESSION TO ORDER.
[1. Call to order. ]
AND THE FIRST ITEM IN OUR REGULAR SESSION IS EXECUTIVE SESSION.[2.A. Executive Session:]
SO AS MAYOR PRO TEM, I HEREBY ADVISE YOU THAT WE'RE GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT, CHAPTER 551 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, SECTION 551.071 TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY AND SECTION 551.072 FOR DELIBERATION REGARDING REAL PROPERTY MATTERS.ALL RIGHT. I'LL CALL OUR MEETING BACK TO ORDER.
IS THERE ANY ACTION NECESSARY FOLLOWING EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO. DEPUTY MAYOR.
[3.A. Mayor's Report]
NEXT UP ON OUR AGENDA IS THE MAYOR'S REPORT.OBVIOUSLY, MAYOR HUFFMAN IS NOT HERE TONIGHT.
WHAT'S WRONG? NO, MAYOR PRO TEM.
I DID IT TOO. SO YOU KNOW SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO DO IT NOW.
ALL RIGHT. MAYOR HUFFMAN, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO JUST ARRIVED, MAYOR HUFFMAN IS ILL.
HOPEFULLY HE'LL BE BETTER IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
BUT HE DID PASS ALONG A COUPLE OF ITEMS FOR HIS MAYOR'S REPORT.
LAST WEEK AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LUNCHEON, MAYOR HUFFMAN PRESENTED THE STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, WHICH HE DOES, AND THE MAYORS DO EVERY EVERY JULY TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WE HAD A FULL HOUSE AT THE MARK.
IT WAS MORE ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE OUR CITY EVERY DAY, YEAR AFTER YEAR.
SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD PRESENTATION.
THERE WAS LOTS OF GOOD NEWS, AS ALWAYS.
NOT THAT IT'S A SPOILER ALERT, BUT MAYOR HUFFMAN ANNOUNCED IT IN OUR BUDGET, THE CITY BUDGET THAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING HERE IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER IN OUR FISCAL YEAR STARTS OCTOBER 1ST, THAT THE PROPOSED BUDGET WILL HAVE ANOTHER TAX RATE, PROPERTY TAX RATE CUT LIKE WE'VE DONE FOR THE LAST 4 OR 5 YEARS.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE PROUD TO DO.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AS A MATTER OF POLICY FOR THIS COUNCIL.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE VERY PROUD OF.
ALSO, SPEAKING OF STATE OF THE CITY, WE'RE DOING ANOTHER STATE OF THE CITY BROADCAST OR PRESENTATION LIVE ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST AT 5:30 P.M. AT THE MARK.
WE DID IT LAST YEAR, I THINK IT WAS MAYOR HUFFMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON AND I SPOKE AT THAT, COVERING EVERYTHING FROM PROPERTY TAX RATE CUTS TO CAPITAL PROJECTS TO FESTIVALS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
SO I THINK IT'LL BE VERY INSIGHTFUL AND HELPFUL TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT AS FAR AS THE CITY.
I THINK THEY'VE HAD IT FOR A FEW YEARS.
SO ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 19TH AT DRAGON STADIUM AT 4 P.M., RSD WILL HAVE THEIR EITHER THE SECOND OR THIRD ANNUAL FOOTBALL COMMUNITY PEP RALLY AGAIN AT DRAGON STADIUM SATURDAY, AUGUST 19TH AT 4 P.M.
AND THERE'LL BE MORE DETAILS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THROUGH RSD.
SO THAT'S IT FOR THE MAYOR'S REPORT.
NEXT UP IS THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.
[3.B. City Manager's Report]
SHANA. YES, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'M PLEASED TO INTRODUCE CHRIS TRIBBLE AND HANNAH NYQUIST TO TALK ABOUT THE BOB JONES NATURE CENTER.THANK YOU. SHANA MAYOR PRO TEM, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
AND THE REASON THEY'RE GREAT IS BECAUSE OF OUR NATURE CENTER COORDINATOR, HANNAH NYQUIST.
SHE'S ANOTHER ONE OF OUR SHINING STARS HERE WITH THE CITY.
HANNAH STARTED HER CAREER HERE ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO.
WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT.
YOU CAN FIND HANNAH OUT AT THE NATURE CENTER LEADING CAMPS DOING PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS. SHE ALSO OVERSEES THE ANNUAL MONARCH BUTTERFLY FESTIVAL.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT.
[00:40:05]
THESE HERE ARE SOME OF OUR CAMP KIDS.WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THEM IN JUST A SECOND.
WE HAD EIGHT WEEKS OF OUR CROSS TIMBERS NATURE CAMP.
WE SPENT OUR DAYS EXPLORING, DOING CRAFTS, HIKING, LEARNING ABOUT ANIMALS, BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS.
WE WENT ON SOME FIELD TRIPS THIS SUMMER AND THEN OUR FALL EQUIVALENT OF NATURE CAMP IS CALLED NATURE CLUB, AND THIS IS A WAY WE STAY IN TOUCH WITH OUR OUR KIDS AND OUR FAMILIES DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.
WE LEARN ABOUT A DIFFERENT ANIMAL EACH MONTH.
WE'LL HAVE ABOUT 24 KIDS EACH MONTH.
WE ALSO HAD OUR FIRST PRESCHOOL FRIDAYS.
FOREST PRESCHOOL IS A VERY UNIQUE PROGRAM.
IT'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL PRESCHOOL.
WE SPEND THREE HOURS OUTSIDE EACH DAY HIKING, PLAYING, LOOKING FOR ANIMALS, GETTING REALLY DIRTY.
THEY HIKE IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER.
WE HAD 96 PRESCHOOLERS, AND THIS FALL WE'LL HAVE 15 WEEKS OF EXPLORING WITH 12 KIDS EACH DAY.
THEN COMING UP THIS FALL, WE HAVE OUR FIFTH ANNUAL MONARCH BUTTERFLY FESTIVAL.
WE'RE GOING TO BE RELEASING 750 TAGGED MONARCHS.
TAGGED MEANS WE PUT THIS TINY LITTLE STICKER ON THEM SO WE CAN TRACK THEIR MIGRATION.
HOPEFULLY THEY'LL MAKE IT DOWN TO MEXICO.
WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 500 PARTICIPANTS, MOSTLY FAMILIES, WILL HAVE A MORNING OF CRAFTS EXPLORING AROUND THE NATURE CENTER, AND EVERYONE GETS TO RELEASE A BUTTERFLY THEMSELVES. AND THEN OUR LAST BIG EVENT THIS FALL WE HAVE IS OUR HAUNTED FAMILY CAMPOUT.
WE HAVE A SPRING CAMP OUT AS WELL.
FAMILIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO DECORATE AND WE'LL GO ON A NIGHT HIKE.
SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY.
AND WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 15 FAMILIES, WHICH AVERAGES ABOUT 75 PARTICIPANTS IN TOTAL.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
AND I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
AND THE PRESERVE IS VERY IMPORTANT, PRECIOUS TO ALL OF US.
I KNOW THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES.
I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR THE NATURE CENTER.
IT'S REALLY A GEM IN THIS CITY, AND IT'S REALLY DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING IN THE DFW METROPLEX.
SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND ACTIVATING IT.
AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE THOSE NUMBERS WITH SO MANY CAMPERS AND SO MUCH STUFF GOING ON THERE THAT'S REALLY SOMETIMES IT'S TOO FAR AWAY THAT IT'S A SECRET, BUT GETTING MORE PEOPLE TO TO TAKE NOTICE OF IT, IT'S A REALLY GOOD THING.
SO KUDOS TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR REALLY GETTING MORE MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? GO AHEAD. I JUST HAVE A QUICK COMMENT.
I'M GOING TO EMBARRASS HANNAH HERE.
SHE IS SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
WHEN WE FIRST MOVED TO SOUTHLAKE, WE WEREN'T EVEN LIVING HERE YET.
WE HAD BOUGHT A HOUSE. WE HAD MOVED IN.
SO IT HAS A SPECIAL, SPECIAL MEANING TO ME.
AND YOU'RE JUST AN AWESOME, AWESOME PERSON TO LEAD THAT.
APPRECIATE IT. I LOVE ALL THE PROGRAMING.
IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU DO OUT THERE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE BUTTERFLIES MAKE IT TO MEXICO? YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
I'LL GO BACK. THERE'S A TAG ON ONE OF THEM.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL YOU CAN SEE IT.
NOW, THEY'RE NOT LIKE A MICROCHIP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO YOU GET LIKE, I THINK $10 FOR EACH ONE YOU CALL IN.
SO IT INCENTIVIZES THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ALONG THE MIGRATION ROUTE TO CALL THEM IN.
AND SOME CITIES AROUND US HAVE HAD SEVERAL MAKE IT TO MEXICO.
OH, THAT'S VERY COOL. YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL HAVE SOME SCOUT HIKES AND SOME FIELD TRIPS ALSO.
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR HARD WORK.
THANK YOU. DIRECTOR TRIBBLE TO.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT, WE'LL GO TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.
COUNCIL REVIEWED THE LIST OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS IN OUR WORK SESSION.
WE'VE ALSO ADDED A FEW ITEMS FROM THE REGULAR AGENDA TO CONSENT AGENDA.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THOSE ITEMS? ALL RIGHT. SEEING AND HEARING NONE.
[CONSENT AGENDA]
WE'LL TAKE A MOTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.YES. MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.
[00:45:02]
NINE, A, NINE, B, NINE, C AND NINE E.ALL RIGHT. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.
RIGHT. THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA PASSES.
COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY. WELL DONE.
[5. Public Forum]
ALL RIGHT, NEXT IS OUR PUBLIC FORUM.OKAY. IT'S AFTER 7:00, SO WE'RE GOOD.
PUBLIC FORUM ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO BRING FORWARD TOPICS THAT ARE NOT ON OUR AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING.
I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SOME GUESTS TONIGHT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE EXTRA SPACE STORAGE EXPANSION, WHICH IS NOT BEFORE US TONIGHT, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE BEFORE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE ON MONDAY NIGHT.
AND I THINK THERE'S FOUR OF US ON COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY.
SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE VOTED ON TONIGHT.
BUT PUBLIC COMMENT YOU'LL BE ENTITLED TO THREE MINUTES.
MR. JIMENEZ, ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE SPEAKER TONIGHT? OKAY. ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE.
YEAH. LET'S DO IF YOU WANT TO COME UP FIRST, SIR, AND THEN I'LL READ THE OTHER NAMES.
YEAH. SO IF YOU WOULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES, I THINK WE CAN GIVEN THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING FOR A GROUP, I THINK WE'RE OKAY WITH A FEW EXTRA MINUTES IF YOU NEED SOME EXTRA TIME.
BUT GO AHEAD, SIR. OKAY, GREAT.
I LIVE AT 1311 CHADWICK CROSSING IN SOUTH LAKE.
MY WIFE, ERIN, OUR THREE CHILDREN AND I HAVE BEEN SOUTHLAKE PROUD SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS FOR 12 YEARS.
OUR KIDS HAVE GROWN UP DRAGONS.
WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF NEIGHBORS WITH US TONIGHT.
IF YOU GUYS WANT TO STAND OR RAISE YOUR HANDS TO SHOW THEM WHO'S HERE.
WE IN CHADWICK CROSSING HAVE SOUTHLAKE ADDRESSES.
OUR CHILDREN ATTEND SOUTHLAKE SCHOOLS.
OUR TWO THIRDS OF OUR PROPERTY TAXES GO TO SOUTH LAKE CARROLL ISD.
THE EXTRA SPACE STORAGE FACILITY IN SOUTH LAKE ON BRUMLOW AVENUE IS PLANNING TO EXPAND A MASSIVE 156,000 SQUARE FOOT STRUCTURE AND DETENTION POND THAT DIRECTLY BACKS TO THE CHADWICK CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'LL BE THREE STORIES TALL ON TOP OF A RETAINING WALL, AND IT'S GOING TO BE BUILT FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT HILL ON CHADWICK CROSSING ABOVE OUR CHADWICK CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE'LL HAVE THE SAME TOP ROOF ELEVATION AS THE CURRENT ELEVATION OF THE EXISTING BUILT BUILDING ON BRUMLOW.
SO IT'S GOING TO STICK OUT THERE AND KIND OF LOOM OVER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT WILL REQUIRE CLEAR CUTTING OF MULTIPLE ACRES OF OLD GROWTH TREES THAT BACK TO CHADWICK CROSSING.
AND THE GRADING OF THE LAND IS ACTUALLY GOING TO START 31FT FROM MY PROPERTY LINE.
IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE DIRECTLY VISIBLE TO ALL THE OTHER HOMES OF OUR CHADWICK CROSSING NEIGHBORS.
NEIGHBORS THAT IDENTIFY AS SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS.
ONE OF THE ORDINANCES THAT IS IN PLACE TO PROTECT PROTECT SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS IS FROM FROM THERE, PROTECTING THEM FOR THIS EXACT TYPE OF EXPANSION REQUIRES ANY STRUCTURE THAT BACKS TO AN RUPD A RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WHICH CHADWICK CROSSING IS TO BE BUILT UNDER A 4 TO 1 SLOPE RESTRICTION FROM THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY PROPERTY LINE TO THE TOP ELEVATION OF THE ROOF OF THE COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE.
HOWEVER, THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE HAS TAKEN THE POSITION FROM THEIR CONSULTED LAWYER THAT SINCE CHADWICK CROSSING IS NOT FORMALLY ZONED AS SOUTH LAKE, THE SOUTHLAKE BUILDING ORDINANCES WILL NOT APPLY TO CHADWICK CROSSING.
EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE OUR SOUTH LAKE ADDRESSES, CHILDREN TEND TO SCHOOLS.
THE PROPERTY TAXES ET-CETERA GO TO SOUTH LAKE.
DUE TO THIS FACT, EXTRA SPACE STORAGE DOES NOT CURRENTLY NEED TO OBTAIN ANY VARIANCES TO PROCEED WITH THIS EXPANSION, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE BRINGING THIS UP TO CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT. WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT, ALONG WITH OTHER CITY OFFICIALS FOR THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE, TO UPHOLD THE SOUTH LAKE ORDINANCE FOR OUR CHADWICK CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD, SPECIFICALLY THE 421 SLOPE ORDINANCE.
[00:50:08]
AGENDA FOR NEXT MONDAY'S CORRIDOR PLANNING MEETING.AND IF NO VARIANCES ARE REQUIRED, IT'S LIKELY TO GO THROUGH THE SYSTEM FAIRLY QUICKLY.
AS FELLOW SOUTH LAKE RESIDENTS, I ASK THAT YOU ALL PUT YOURSELVES IN OUR SITUATION IF THIS WAS HAPPENING TO YOU, AND PLEASE HELP PROTECT CHADWICK CROSSING FROM THE EXACT TYPE OF COMMERCIAL EXPANSION THAT'S NOT ALLOWED ANYWHERE ELSE IN SOUTH LAKE.
SO I THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND WE ARE GOING TO COME BACK PROBABLY IN THE NEXT COMING WEEKS AFTER THE CORRIDOR MEETING WITH SOME ADDITIONAL OPTIONS THAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO PROTECT THIS. RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
DIRECTOR KILLER, WAS THAT MEETING ON MONDAY? IS THAT 5:00 OR 530, FIVE, 3530 ON MONDAY, RIGHT HERE IN THIS SAME ROOM.
THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY VOTING THAT NIGHT ON THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN ON THAT PROPOSAL.
IT'S SORT OF A FIRST LOOK AT IT.
BUT YOU ALL ARE WELCOME TO COME.
BUT YOU ALL ARE WELCOME TO COME ON MONDAY NIGHT AT 530.

CASE NUMBER ZA 23-0004 SECOND READING, ZONING CHANGE AND SITE PLAN FOR 8850, DAVIS BOULEVARD DESCRIBED AS THE BY FAITH BAPTIST CHURCH EDITION.DIRECTOR KILO. THANK YOU AGAIN.
THIS IS A REQUEST TO CHANGE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY FROM ITS CURRENT ZONING CS COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT TO SP 1, DETAILED SITE PLAN DISTRICT WITH UNDERLYING SCS COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT USES AND REGULATIONS.
THIS IS A AERIAL PHOTO OF THE SITE.
THERE'S AN EXISTING BUILDING ABOUT 1300FT².
PART OF THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE THEIR ABILITY TO IMPROVE THIS DRIVE AREA, ADD SOME PARKING AND JUST SOME RENOVATION TO THE BUILDING ITSELF.
THIS IS THE CITY'S LAND USE PLAN PROPERTIES AND MIXED USE LAND USE CATEGORY AND ALSO HAS A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY CLIPPED BY WHAT'S IDENTIFIED AS FLOODPLAIN.
THIS IS THE ZONING MAP FOR THE PROPERTY.
IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED CS COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT.
IT IS NO LONGER BEING OPERATED AS A CHURCH.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THE SP ONE ZONING.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN IS TO IMPROVE THE DRIVE AND PARKING.
ALSO, AS PART OF THIS ZONING PROPOSAL, THEY WOULD REQUEST APPROVAL OF A GAZEBO TO BE ADDED HERE FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS AND MARKETS THAT WOULD BE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE INTENDED USE OF THIS BUILDING, WHICH WOULD BE A ART STUDIO ALONG
[01:00:09]
WITH ASSOCIATED RETAIL WITHIN THAT BUILDING.THIS SIDE EXHIBIT SHOWS THE PROPOSED GAZEBO STRUCTURE.
LOCATED IN THE EASTERN REAR PORTION OF THE SITE.
AND A DETAIL OF THAT STRUCTURE.
THIS IS A ZONING NARRATIVE OF THE PROPOSED SP ONE ZONING.
ONCE AGAIN, IT WOULD FOLLOW THE CHS DISTRICT USES AND REGULATIONS.
IT WOULD ADD AS PERMITTED USE ART STUDIO FOR INSTRUCTIONAL CLASSES ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED RETAIL WITHIN THE EXISTING ROUGHLY 1300 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.
IT WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR OUTDOOR MARKET THAT WOULD INCLUDE ART RELATED SALES.
THESE WOULD BE OPEN AIR EVENTS TYPICALLY HELD ONCE A MONTH OVER THE WEEKEND BETWEEN 10 AND 3:03 P.M. TYPICALLY.
ONCE AGAIN, THERE'S NO PROPOSED EXPANSION OF THAT BUILDING.
THE REQUEST ALSO INCLUDES A VARIANCE AND EXCEPTION ALLOWING FOR THE DRIVEWAY TO EXIST AS IT CURRENTLY DOES WITH IMPROVEMENTS TO ITS WIDTH AND RADIUS, ALONG WITH THE PARKING.
ALSO ALLOW FOR BUFFER YARDS AND EXISTING AREAS TO JUST REMAIN AS IS WITH UNTIL CONSIDERATION OF FUTURE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE.
AND THE APPLICANT PROPOSES UTILIZING CURBSIDE SERVICE FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION RATHER THAN PLACING A DUMPSTER ON ON SITE.
AND ONCE AGAIN, MINOR RENOVATIONS TO THE TO THE BUILDING.
THIS IS A LIST OF THE TYPES OF ART AND WORK THAT WOULD BE SHOWCASED IN THE FACILITY.
UH, MAXIMUM GROUP OR BOOTH AREAS WITHIN THE OUTDOOR MARKET AREA.
THEY WOULD REQUEST TO HAVE UP TO 8 TO 12 POP UP BOOTHS FOR ARTISANS DISPLAYING THEIR GOODS AND THAT EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SITE AS IT EXISTS.
AND THIS IS OUR NOTIFICATION MAP.
WE HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES FROM SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS ON THIS REQUEST.
THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL 6-0 AT THEIR MEETING ON JUNE 8TH AND FIRST READING OF THIS ITEM WAS APPROVED ON JUNE 20TH BY CITY COUNCIL.
AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
APPLICANTS AND TENANTS ARE HERE AS WELL.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? AND LIKE THE LAST ITEM, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THIS APPLICATION OR THE PROPOSED WORK ON THIS SITE? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION? MIXED MEDIA ART? WOULD THAT ENTAIL POTENTIALLY LIKE PERFORMANCE ART OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR? THAT IS NOT INDICATED IN THEIR APPLICATION? AND I'D MAYBE SEEK CLARIFICATION OF THAT FROM THE APPLICANT.
BUT AS FAR AS WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IN THEIR CURRENT ZONING, IT'S ALL CRAFT RELATED, CREATIVE.
IT'S THE ONLY PIECE I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET IN THE MIDDLE OF.
SO IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER ROBBINS, IF YOU WANT TO RESTATE YOUR QUESTION OR AND GO FROM THERE.
MY NAME IS BRUCE FIELDS, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
[01:05:01]

[Items 6.C & 6.D]
IS THAT CORRECT, DIRECTOR KILLOUGH? THAT IS CORRECT.WELL. I MIGHT HAVE A LINK AND WHAT WE'RE GETTING THAT PULLED UP.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS OR ISSUES WITH THIS ON THE HEART INDUSTRIAL PARK AND THE PROPOSED ANIMAL HOSPITAL USE THERE? IF WE CAN GET IT PULLED UP, I THINK WE PROBABLY JUST NEED THE QUICK.
PRESENTATION ON THAT ONE? YES, SIR. THIS IS A REQUEST TO CHANGE PROPERTY THAT'S CURRENTLY ZONED I1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO SP ONE, DETAILED SITE PLAN DISTRICT.
IT WOULD RETAIN ALL THE I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES AND REGULATIONS ON THIS SIX BUILDING OFFICE WAREHOUSE COMPLEX AND HEART INDUSTRIAL PARK, AND ADD AS A PERMITTED PROVISION TO ALLOW A SMALL ANIMAL HOSPITAL BY APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, WHICH IS THE NEXT ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA, WHICH IS SIX D.
AND LAND USES INDUSTRIAL EXISTING ZONING.
I-1 PROPOSED ZONING ON THE RED BOUNDARY WOULD BE SP 1 TO ADD THE PROVISION TO ALLOW FOR SMALL ANIMAL HOSPITAL BY SUP APPROVAL.
AND THEN THE SECOND ITEM SIX D IS FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 3000 SQUARE FOOT SMALL ANIMAL HOSPITAL THAT IS PRIMARILY A MOBILE VET CLINIC.
A GOOD PORTION OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE FOR STORAGE OF THEIR VET EQUIPMENT AND OR VEHICLES AND THEN A SMALL AREA OF IT FOR ANIMAL TREATMENT AND SURGERIES THAT THEY MAY NEED TO DO IN THE BUILDING.
THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE INDUSTRIAL OFFICE PARK SITE AND THEN A SPECIFIC PHOTOGRAPH OF.
THE BUILDING THAT THEY ARE OCCUPYING.
AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A BUILDING.
HERE THEY WOULD OCCUPY AND JUST I'LL BE GLAD TO RUN THROUGH THESE OR TURN IT
[01:10:01]
OVER TO THE. COUNCIL AND APPLICANT.TALK THROUGH THEIR BUSINESS OPERATION, IF YOU WISH.
I THINK WE'RE GOOD. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ALL THIS STUFF ON THIS SLIDE OR REQUIRE ANYTHING FROM THE APPLICANT? I THINK WE'RE GOOD, DENNIS. APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. WE ALREADY TOOK CARE OF NINE A, NINE B, NINE, C AND NINE E.
[9.D. Approve contract with Community Waste Disposal, LP., for the provision of commercial and residential solid waste and recycling services.]
AND BEFORE WE GET THE PRESENTATION FROM LAUREN, ASKED COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON HE WAS PART OF THE WHAT I'LL CALL THE GARBAGE COMMITTEE.MAYOR PRO TEM. IT ALWAYS IS AN HONOR TO BE ON A GARBAGE COMMITTEE.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE ALL STRIVE FOR.
SO ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE, THOUGH, IT WAS THE MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM AND MYSELF.
AND I WOULD JUST ADD, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BE ABOUT A SUBJECT LIKE THIS.
BUT I WILL SAY THAT IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN ANYWHERE OR TOURED ANYWHERE OR SEEN WHERE WHERE GARBAGE SERVICE ISN'T RIGHT, OR THEY GO ON STRIKE OR YOU HAVE A LABOR SHORTAGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, NOTHING CAN UNWIND A CITY QUITE AS QUICKLY AS GARBAGE ON THE CURBS BEING UNPICKED OR UNCOLLECTED.
AND YOU KNOW, HEARING FROM THE GROUP THAT WE'LL HEAR A LITTLE BIT FROM TONIGHT AND WHAT WE'RE CONSIDERING, I CAN JUST TELL YOU THAT FIRSTHAND THAT I THINK I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE MAYOR AND ON SEAN, THAT THIS GROUP CAME READY TO TO REALLY MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS.
AND AND WE HAVE REALLY UNIQUE NEEDS AS IT RELATES TO THINGS LIKE HAVING ACTUAL HELPERS ON THE BACKS OF TRUCKS WHO PHYSICALLY HANDLE GARBAGE CANS AND CAN TAKE EXTRA, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT YOU CAN FIT IN YOUR CONTAINER.
[01:15:06]
AND THESE THESE FOLKS ARE READY TO DO THAT.CONTINUE THE RECYCLING SERVICES TWICE A WEEK WAS HUGE FOR US.
I DON'T WANT TO STEAL YOUR THUNDER, LAUREN.
I KNOW YOU'LL GO THROUGH ALL THIS, BUT THEN SOME ADDED THINGS EVEN THAT THEY CAME TO THE TABLE WITH LIKE ACTUALLY ONCE A YEAR BIN SANITIZING, WHICH IS GOING TO BE NEW FOR OUR RESIDENTS, WHICH IS A HUGE, HUGE PERK.
THERE ARE LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED, AND I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM THEM AND HEAR THEIR COMMITMENT TO A SMOOTH TRANSITION AND EXCITED TO IF THE IF THE COUNCIL APPROVES THIS EXCITED TO WELCOME THEM TO SOUTHLAKE.
IT'S I THINK WE'VE HEARD FROM THE RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
THEY LIKE THE GARBAGE AND RECYCLING SERVICES THAT WE'VE HAD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
AND I THINK WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT A NEW CONTRACT, WHETHER IT WAS WITH THE PRIOR PROVIDER OR A NEW PROVIDER, WE WANTED TO MAINTAIN THAT SAME HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICE AND C.W.D DELIVERED.
AND SO WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU, ASSUMING WE APPROVE THAT TONIGHT.
BUT LAUREN, WHY DON'T YOU DO THE PRESENTATION AND GIVE US ALL THE DETAILS? ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AS I HAD A WONDERFUL INTRODUCTION.
SO I'LL SKIP RIGHT THROUGH INTRODUCING THIS ITEM.
SO JUST TO KIND OF RECAP SOME OF THE TIMELINE WE RECEIVED, THE NON-RENEWAL NON-RENEWAL NOTICE FROM REPUBLIC SERVICES BACK IN MARCH OF 2023. ESSENTIALLY, THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER GOING TO CONTINUE THE MANUAL COLLECTION MODEL SERVICE MODEL, AS COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON DISCUSSED.
SO ON APRIL 4TH, COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT NEGOTIATION WITH BOTH REPUBLIC SERVICES AND CWG TO FORM PROPOSALS AND SEE WHAT SERVICES WERE OUT THERE.
WE HELD PROPOSAL REVIEWS WITH THAT, AS YOU ALL CALLED IT, THE FAVORABLY CALLED THE TRASH COMMITTEE OR GARBAGE COMMITTEE OF THREE ESTEEMED COUNCIL MEMBERS AND OUR MAYOR OR TWO ESTEEMED COUNCIL MEMBERS AND OUR MAYOR ON JUNE 13TH AND THEN ON JUNE 19TH, STAFF WAS AUTHORIZED TO NEGOTIATE WITH CWG DIRECTLY TO FINALIZE THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS.
SO GETTING INTO SOME OF THE SERVICE PROVISIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS CONTRACT, WE HAVE ENGRAIN UP ON THE TOP ROW, YOUR STANDARD TRASH SERVICES THAT ARE STAYING THE SAME, JUST A NEW PROVIDER.
SO THE GARBAGE COLLECTION IS STAYING AT TWICE A WEEK MANUAL COLLECTION.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE AUTOMATED RECYCLING COLLECTION ONCE A WEEK AND THAT IS STAYING THE SAME.
BUT IT WILL BE ON A MONTHLY BASIS THAT THEY'LL COME THROUGH, BUT YOU'LL HAVE THAT 12 CUBIC YARD ALLOTMENT AND THEN BULK COLLECTION WILL REMAIN AT TWICE A WEEK UP TO TWO CUBIC YARDS WITH EACH OF YOUR TRASH DAYS.
AND THAT WAS INCLUDED AT ABOUT $0.80 PER MONTH.
SO IT WAS AN OPTIONAL SERVICE THAT THE GARBAGE COMMITTEE DECIDED TO INCLUDE.
ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE UNLIMITED BUNDLED BRUSH COLLECTION.
SO THIS IS SEPARATE FROM YOUR UNBUNDLED BRUSH THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE CURRENTLY WITH REPUBLIC SERVICES, YOU GET TWO CUBIC YARDS OF BUNDLED BRUSH AND CWG IS COMING IN WITH THEIR PROPOSAL AT AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT FREE MONTHLY DROP OFFS AT TRANSFER STATION IN DALLAS.
SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT CLOSER THAN THE ARLINGTON LANDFILL.
IT'S RIGHT THERE ON THE IRVING DALLAS BORDER, UP TO 12YD³ PER MONTH.
AND SO THIS IS FOR RESIDENTS UP TO 12YD³ PER MONTH, A FREE OF CHARGE.
SO THE CONTRACT ALSO INCLUDES TWO ADDITIONAL LEAF RECYCLING COLLECTION DAYS.
THIS WON'T LOOK SUPER DIFFERENT FROM OUR REGULAR LEAF RECYCLING RIGHT NOW.
[01:20:07]
WHETHER IT'S YOUR TRASH CAN OR YOUR RECYCLING BIN, WHATEVER IS DIRTY, THEY'LL COME OUT AND CLEAN IT FOR YOU FREE OF CHARGE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE MONTHLY SERVICE FEE OR FOR SOME OF THE PRIVATE COMPANIES.AND SO THIS CONTRACT ALSO INCLUDES A DISCOUNTED ROLL OFF RATE SPECIFICALLY FOR RESIDENTS.
SO IF A RESIDENT IS DOING A SMALL JOB AT THEIR HOME, THEY GET THE ROLL OFF RATE FOR ABOUT I DID THE CALCULATION, BUT I THINK IT'S ABOUT 40% LESS THAN WHAT THE COMMERCIAL SIDE IS CHARGED.
ON THE SPEAKING OF THE COMMERCIAL SIDE LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY HAVE NOW.
SO AS FAR AS THE GARBAGE SIDE GOES, IT'S ALL THE SAME.
THEY'LL JUST HAVE CWG CONTAINERS INSTEAD OF REPUBLIC CONTAINERS.
SO SOME OF THE OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED ARE A LITTER CREW.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SAW IN A COUPLE OF OTHER CITIES CONTRACTS THAT WE RECEIVE COMPLAINTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY ON A FREQUENT ENOUGH BASIS THAT WE NEEDED A WAY TO ADDRESS IT.
AND CWD WAS HELPFUL TO PARTNER WITH US ON THIS.
SO WE HAVE UP TO 200 HOURS INCLUDED AS A LITTER CREW SO THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY AREAS THROUGHOUT TOWN AND HAVE CWD SEND THEIR EMPLOYEES TO COME HELP CLEAN THOSE UP.
THEIR ANNUAL COST ADJUSTMENT MODEL IS INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT.
SO THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAD WITH REPUBLIC.
IT WAS A FLAT 3% AND THEN THE RECYCLING PORTION, THE RECYCLING COMMODITIES COST VARIED.
SO THIS IS BASED OFF OF KPIS THAT IT'S THE CPI, LESS ENERGY, THE FUEL INDEX AND THEN THE GATEWAY AT THE ARLINGTON LANDFILL THAT ALL ARE A MATRIX ESSENTIALLY THAT FORMULATE OUR ANNUAL COST ADJUSTMENT MODEL.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A FLAT COST RATE INCREASE.
IF IT WAS A CRAZY YEAR, WE HAD WE'VE SEEN UNPRECEDENTED INFLATION OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
SO THIS INCLUDES A STAFF RECOMMENDATION, STAFF VERIFYING ALL OF THE DATA, ETCETERA.
WE ALSO INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE BOND.
SO IT WAS ABOUT TIME TO UPDATE THAT.
SO WE'VE INCREASED IT TO 750,000.
THIS CONTRACT ALSO INCLUDES SOME INCREASED REPORTING REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL HELP STAFF ON A MONTHLY BASIS AS WELL AS AN ANNUAL BASIS KEEP UP WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT.
AND THEN IT ALSO ADDS SOME PERFORMANCE PENALTIES INTO THE CONTRACT LANGUAGE.
SO WE SOME CITIES HAVE THEM FOR ALL KINDS OF MIS COLLECTIONS AND SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS.
WE WANTED TO REALLY FOCUS IN ON THE MAJOR ITEMS THAT WE SAW.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF IF C.W.D VIOLATES THE CITY'S NOISE ORDINANCE, THEN THEY WOULD GET A FINE OF $500 THAT WE INVOICE THEM AND WE ALSO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THEM.
BUT THE GOAL IS NEVER TO ENACT THESE PERFORMANCE PENALTIES.
THE GOAL IS TO WORK THROUGH THE THAT HOPEFULLY WE NEVER HAVE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE.
SO LOOKING AT PROBABLY WHAT EVERYONE IS VERY CURIOUS ABOUT WITH THE RATES.
SO OUR CURRENT RATE PRE TAX WITH REPUBLIC IS $18.68.
THE NEW RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL IS $19.18 PRE TAX.
SO THIS IS ABOUT A 50 CENT INCREASE WITH ALL OF THOSE NEW SERVICES.
SO AND AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE $0.80 WAS JUST THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE.
[01:25:06]
SO IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT INCLUDED, IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE GOING DOWN.ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, MOST OF THE RATES ARE EITHER HELD FLAT OR THEY HAVE ACTUALLY DECREASED.
BUT OVERALL, OUR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS WILL SEE THESE STAY FLAT.
WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH CWD ON A COMMUNICATION PLAN.
SO WE'VE ALREADY STARTED GETTING QUESTIONS FROM RESIDENTS THAT HAVE HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE, HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY ARE WE CHANGING? ET CETERA. AND SO WE'VE TAKEN THOSE AT ONE AT A TIME.
BUT TOMORROW WILL ISSUE A SOUTHLAKE NEWS ARTICLE.
AND REALLY OVER COMMUNICATION IS OUR PLAN.
SORRY, CWD WILL START DELIVERING THE CONTAINERS TO OUR PUBLIC WORKS OPS YARD AND THEN CWG AND REPUBLIC WILL START TRANSITIONING THE COMMERCIAL CONTAINERS. SO YOU'LL ACTUALLY START SEEING COMMERCIAL CONTAINERS OUT AND GETTING SWITCHED BEFORE OCTOBER.
AND THIS IS REALLY TO ENSURE THAT OCTOBER 1ST THEY'RE ABLE TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.
SO WE'LL START HAVING THE CONTAINERS COME IN AND START SWITCHING THEM OUT.
WE'RE STILL WORKING ON FINALIZING ALL OF THE DATES, BUT THE CITY'S WEBSITE WILL BE THE BEST PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO GO TO FIND OUT WHAT THE TIMELINE IS AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE CONTRACT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST AND IT WOULD BE FOR A FIVE YEAR TERM EXPIRING IN SEPTEMBER 2028 WITH AN OPTION TO RENEW FOR A FIVE YEAR PERIOD UNDER THE SAME TERMS. AND THERE WAS A VERY HIGH LEVEL.
BUT THERE'S LOTS OF DETAILS IN THIS CONTRACT IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THE GARBAGE COMMITTEE.
DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? GO AHEAD. I HAVE A COUPLE.
WILL EVERYBODY'S DAYS OF THE WEEK STAY THE SAME? BECAUSE THAT COULD ROCK EVERYBODY'S WORLD IF YOU SWITCHED US ALL UP.
RIGHT NOW, THE PLAN IS TO STAY THE SAME.
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF LOGISTICS THAT WE WERE WORKING THROUGH.
THOSE CUSTOMERS THAT WERE THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED WOULD RECEIVE A IF THEY ARE AFFECTED, WOULD RECEIVE AN EVERBRIDGE CALL, DIRECT COMMUNICATION AND A LETTER AS WELL.
AND FOR THOSE OF US RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE A DUMPSTER, HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE CONTACTED AND HAVE THAT SWITCHED OUT? SO WE HAVE A LIST OF ALL OF THE COMMERCIAL CONTAINERS FROM OUR PUBLIC WITH YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION.
SO CWD WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH YOU.
OKAY. AND SPEAKING OF, I AM JOINED TONIGHT BY REPRESENTATIVES OF CWD.
I HAVE PRESIDENT GREG RAYMER, VICE PRESIDENT JASON RAYMER, AND THEN PAUL HANSEN.
SO IF I DON'T KNOW, COME ON UP, GUYS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM? WE'VE MADE THEM SIT HERE UNTIL ALMOST 8:30, SO WE'LL GIVE THEM THE MICROPHONE FOR A FEW MINUTES FOR STICKING WITH US.
THANK YOU, LAUREN. YES, THANK YOU.
I'M THE PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER OF COMMUNITY WASTE DISPOSAL.
THE EQUIPMENT'S A REALLY BIG DEAL.
THE ASSETS REQUIRED TO SERVICE THIS CONTRACT TOTAL $8.5 MILLION AND NORMALLY ONE WOULD WAIT FOR A SIGNED CONTRACT BEFORE YOU WOULD COMMIT TO AN ORDER OF THAT SIZE.
THAT'S 12 TRUCKS, 10,000 CARTS AND ABOUT 600 STEEL DUMPSTERS FOR YOUR COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY.
[01:30:04]
THAT COMMITMENT TO THAT EQUIPMENT WITHOUT A SIGNED CONTRACT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A SMOOTH TRANSITION THAT IS NEEDED IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A PRIVATE EQUITY OR A HOME OFFICE.
I DO ALL OF MY FINANCING AT WELLS FARGO BANK AND IN FACT, CRAIG SHEATH, THAT WAS HERE EARLIER WHEN HE WAS AT WELLS FARGO, WAS ONE OF MY BANKERS WHILE HE LEFT WELLS FARGO. I'M STILL THERE AND AND IT'S A GREAT RELATIONSHIP, BUT THAT PUTS US IN A POSITION WHERE WE CAN GET A COMMITMENT LIKE THAT DONE FOR YOU AND MAKE THAT TRANSITION.
SO I'M HERE THIS EVENING WITH MY SON AND VICE PRESIDENT JASON RAYMER, MY GENERAL MANAGER, PAUL HANSEN WE'VE TRANSITIONED 11 CITIES IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, JUST LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
PAUL HANDLED EVERY ONE OF THOSE.
HE IS AN EXPERT IN THE TRANSITION BUSINESS, AND I WANT YOU TO FEEL AS COMFORTABLE AFTER WE LEAVE HERE TONIGHT AS WE ARE THAT THE TRANSITION WILL BE AS SMOOTH AND IT WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
SO I'LL STOP TALKING THERE AND COVER ANYTHING YOU MIGHT LIKE US.
ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WE DID TAKE YOU UP ON THE OFFER TO CHECK YOUR REFERENCES.
SO WE'RE I THINK I'M COMFORTABLE.
I THINK THE COUNCIL IS COMFORTABLE.
AND YOU GUYS DID A GREAT PRESENTATION IN GETTING US TO THIS POINT.
BUT ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL TO THE BOSSES HERE? I DO HAVE ONE. SO THE CART CLEANING SERVICE, I MEAN, THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
WE'VE WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE THAT WITH OURS.
AND MY WIFE GETS ON ME ALL THE TIME ABOUT HOW NASTY OUR CARTS ARE.
SO IS THAT SOMETHING I KNOW YOU ALL DID A ONCE A YEAR, BUT IS IT A SERVICE YOU PROVIDE? LIKE IN ADDITION, CAN HOMEOWNERS SAY, HEY, I CLEANED MINE ONCE A MONTH OR SOMETHING, OR IS THAT SOMETHING YOU ALL JUST CONTRACT OUT FOR THAT ONCE A YEAR CLEANING? AND HOW DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU? ALL THE CART WASHING? YES. NO, WE OWN OUR OWN CART WASHING TRUCK.
IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE IMPRESSIVE.
THE WATER IS ALL CONTAINED IN THE VEHICLE.
NOTHING DRIPS OR SPILLS ON THE GROUND, SETS THE CART BACK DOWN AND WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
AND THEY'LL SCHEDULE A CART CLEANING AND WE'LL DO IT ON THE DAY OF THEIR COLLECTION.
SO THEY'LL PUT THEIR CART OUT.
THE ONE TRUCK WILL EMPTY IT AND THEN THE NEXT TRUCK WILL COME AND WASH IT.
SO IS IT SOMETHING THEY CAN ELECT TO DO AND PAY FOR ON TOP OF JUST THE ONCE A YEAR IF THEY WANT THAT DONE? CERTAINLY. GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD GET EXCITED ABOUT TRASH.
AND I HAVE TO SAY, I'M MY WIFE WON'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS.
I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT I FOUND WEIRD.
I CAN'T STAND HEARING MYSELF TALK.
BUT YOU GUYS, I MEAN, SOME OF THE THINGS YOU OFFERED.
FOR EXAMPLE, I'M USED TO DRIVING TO THE DUMP IN ARLINGTON.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT I DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT ANYMORE.
AND WHEN I DO, I DON'T HAVE TO PAY 20 BUCKS.
I'M PAYING, YOU KNOW, IT'S FREE.
SO WE HAD YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A ONCE A YEAR THING HERE, RIGHT? THE CRUD CRUISER. YOU GUYS PROBABLY DIDN'T USE IT.
NOW THAT IT'S A ONCE A MONTH, I DON'T HAVE TO SAVE CHEMICALS ALL YEAR.
YES. I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOU GUYS OFFER.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GOING TO MAKE A COMMENT.
THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB FOR US, YOU KNOW, FOR A LONG TIME, AND THEY SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR IT.
BUT TIMES CHANGE NEEDS CHANGE AND CWD IS HERE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS FOR US AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
BUT I DO I DO WANT TO BE ON THE RECORD.
THAT REPUBLIC DID A GREAT JOB.
AGREED. YEAH, A COUPLE OF THINGS.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE ELECTRONICS RECYCLING.
I DON'T HAVE TO GO DO THAT ANYMORE.
AND YEAH, I WANT TO I WANT TO ECHO WHAT COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMSON SAID.
I'M SURE A LOT OF YOU HAVE AS WELL, BECAUSE SOMEBODY POSTED SOMETHING A WEEK OR SO AGO AND THE CALLS REALLY WERE CENTERED AROUND HOW MY FRIENDS ALL LOVED THE TRASH CREWS THAT THAT COME.
[01:35:03]
AND SO WE HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE YOUR CREWS ARE GOING TO BE FANTASTIC AS WELL.BUT I JUST THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU GUYS TO KNOW.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE HEARD THAT THE GUYS THAT COME DOWN MY STREET, THEY'RE SUPER FRIENDLY.
YOU KNOW, WE WAVE AND SAY HELLO.
AND SO, YEAH, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.
I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE.
SO BUT BUT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT YOU GUYS COMING AND PROVIDING YOUR SERVICE, SO.
WELL SAID. AND I'M GOING TO CHIME IN TOO.
AND I'M LIKE, OKAY, YEAH, HE'S RIGHT.
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU GO THROUGH YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE ARE A LITTLE SPOILED HERE, RIGHT? LIKE WE DO JUST PUT OUR EXTRA STUFF OUT AND THEN THEY COME AND TAKE IT.
AND SO I'M, I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THE PROPOSAL.
I MEAN, WE CAN WASH OUR BINS ONCE A MONTH IF WE WANT.
HOW AWESOME IS THAT. I COUNCIL I'M HOPEFULLY JENNIFER ROBBINS IS WATCHING AND SHE'S SCHEDULING MR. ROBBINS BIN WASHING AS AS WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
SHE'S GOING TO HAVE YOU ON ONCE A MONTH.
I JUST HAD HIM WASH LAST WEEK.
BY YOU? NO, WE HAVE A SERVICE. I'M TELLING YOU, I'M EXCITED ABOUT JUST HAVING THESE GUYS DO IT.
YEAH, IT IS. IT'S REALLY GREAT.
SO IT'S REALLY NICE TO SEE THE EXTRA SERVICES AND I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE THAT THAT YOU'RE HERE.
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE OUR TRANSITION SMOOTH AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO A PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU.
GOOD DEAL. ANYTHING ELSE FROM Y'ALL BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL RIGHT. THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THIS ITEM NINE D DOES NOT REQUIRE.
CAN I ASK ONE? GO AHEAD. ACTUALLY, HAVE LAUREN, ONE MORE QUESTION FOR LAUREN.
AS FAR AS THE TRANSITION, SO IS REPUBLIC GOING TO PICK UP THEIR RECYCLING BINS? YES. HOW WILL THAT WORK? DO WE KNOW YET? SO ESSENTIALLY, IT'S NOT EVERYTHING SET IN STONE, BUT REPUBLIC WILL COME BY ON YOUR RECYCLING DAY.
GRAB YOUR RECYCLE AND THEN ANOTHER TRUCK WILL COME BEHIND AND PICK UP THAT BIN.
AND THEN LATER THAT DAY OR SOMETIME THAT WEEK, CWD WILL COME THROUGH AND BRING OUT THE NEW BIN.
OKAY, SO MAYBE THAT WILL HAPPEN AROUND END OF SEPTEMBER.
YEAH, WE'LL NEED TO HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY, BUT YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A GOOD PLAN.
GOOD DEAL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
SEEING NONE. UNLESS DIRECTOR TRIBBLE WANTS TO COME ON DOWN.
I THINK THAT'S IT. ANY DISCUSSION ON NINE D BEFORE WE TAKE A MOTION? RIGHT. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU, RANDY, FOR YOUR WORK ON THAT GARBAGE COMMITTEE.
I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THAT.
YOU BET. ALL RIGHT. LET'S HAVE A MOTION ON ITEM NINE D.
YES, MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.
ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT. LET'S CAST OUR VOTES.
AND THAT MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU.
THAT IS OUR LAST AGENDA ITEM, SO WE ARE NOW ADJOURNED.
