GOOD TO SEE YOU. NEXT IS WORK SESSION.
[3. Presentation from the Leadership Southlake Class ]
ITEM NUMBER THREE. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM THE LEADERSHIP SOUTHLAKE CLASS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME FROM LEADERSHIP SOUTHLAKE DUKE SAMPLES AND ALAN FISHER, WHO ARE GOING TO GIVE US A PRESENTATION ON OUR MOST RECENT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LEADERSHIP SOUTHLAKE CLASS AND WHAT THEY'VE BEEN UP TO THE LAST YEAR.COME ON DOWN, GUYS. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
SO WE ARE FROM THE SOUTHLAKE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
THIS YEAR WAS A FUN AND EXCITING PROJECT FOR US.
WE REALLY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD IMPACT THE CITY AND THE CITIZENS IN IT.
THAT WOULD BRING POSITIVE CHANGE FOR YEARS TO COME.
I'M GOING TO SKIP AHEAD HERE TO THE ACTUAL PROJECT ITSELF.
DUKE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT.
IT'S KIND OF HIS BRAINCHILD, SO I APPRECIATE YOU ALL TAKING TIME AND LETTING US PRESENT HERE.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO OVER THE PROJECT.
SO HERE THE PROJECT, WE ALWAYS TRY TO HELP THE COMMUNITY AND ONE OF THE BEST WAYS THAT I COULD THINK OF WAS GOING TO THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT HELPED THE COMMUNITY DAILY.
SO I WORKED PRETTY CLOSE TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
I HAD WALKED OVER TO THE DPS AND I SAID, HEY, HOW CAN WE BEST HELP Y'ALL? SO SHE GOT WITH CASTRO.
SO HERE GOES A LITTLE BIT INTO IT.
SO WE BROKE UP INTO THREE DIFFERENT PARTS.
SO WE WERE LIKE, HOW CAN WE TACKLE THIS? BECAUSE THEY WERE ASKING THE DUMMY AND EVERYTHING INCLUDED IT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT $14,700.
HOW CAN WE RAISE THIS? SO WE BROKE UP INTO THREE DIFFERENT PARTS.
WE BROKE UP INTO THE MARKETING, FUNDRAISING AND EVENTS.
WE KIND OF JUST ALLOWED OURSELVES TO DECIDE BASED ON OUR PERSONALITIES AND OUR STRENGTHS, WHICH ONES WOULD BEST FIT US, AND THEN WE JUST TRY TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL.
WE HAD A GOLD, SILVER AND BRONZE.
WE HAD THREE GOLD, WHICH WAS JANE LAW, TRI-COUNTY ELECTRIC AND DOCTOR JANE, AND THEN FOR OUR SILVER WE HAD SA LAW, EECU AND MERIT, AND THEN FOR OUR BRONZE WE HAD THESE NINE COMPANIES THE ACCLAIM, BAKER FIRM, CHARLES-- I ALWAYS STRUGGLE WITH THIS ONE.
NOW, LIKE I SAID, WE HAD THREE OF GOLD, THREE OF SILVER AND NINE OF BRONZE.
NOW, I KNOW I'VE TOLD YOU ALL ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT, BUT I'VE NOT TOLD YOU WHAT IT DOES, SO IT IS PRETTY MUCH A FULL SIZE MANNEQUIN THAT ALLOWS THEM TO TRAIN FOR ANYTHING THAT THEY MAY SEE OUT IN THE FIELD.
IT CREATES BLOOD CIRCULATION, BLOOD PRESSURE.
[00:05:01]
THEY HAVE A DEVICE ON THERE THAT GIVES THEM REAL TIME FEEDBACK TO NOT ONLY SEE HOW THEY'RE DOING, BUT ALSO SEE HOW THEY CAN IMPROVE WITH THE DEVICE.IT ALSO HAS A SHOCK LINK, WHICH IS THE AED FOR IN CASE SOMEONE DOES FLATLINE, THEY ARE ABLE TO PRACTICE WITH THAT AS WELL, AND THEN WITH THE DUMMY THEY CAN ALSO DO ANYTHING FROM BURNS, STABBINGS, LACERATIONS, LITERALLY ANYTHING THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO SEE OUT IN THE FIELD.
THIS NOW ALLOWS THEM TO TRAIN TO BE BETTER PREPARED.
SO THEY TOOK A GUESS, AND THEN THEY LATER WENT BACK AND TESTED IT, WHICH TURNS OUT THE GUESS WAS THE CORRECT WAY, BUT SINCE IT'S A CLOSE THING TO ME, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT SOMEONE'S LOVED ONE THAT, YOU KNOW, IS HAVING TO HAVE THE GUESS TAKEN AND TO WHERE, OKAY, HOW CAN WE BEST HELP THEM NOW RATHER THAN THINKING ABOUT IT? THEY NOW KNOW THE ANSWER. THEY KNOW HOW THEY CAN BEST HELP, AND.
YEAH. SO ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO REALLY SELL THE SPONSORSHIPS IS WE HAVE QUITE A, A DIVERSE GROUP IN OUR LEADERSHIP CLASS.
EVERYBODY WAS WILLING TO STEP UP AND BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE AS FAR AS WHAT TO OFFER.
LEXI CANIVEL, ON BEHALF OF COMMUNITY IMPACT, OFFERED AN AD FOR OUR SPONSORS TO RAISE THE MONEY AND WE JUST WE WERE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW TO BE EFFECTIVE LEADERS, AND WE REALLY GOT MORE CONNECTED WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND WE'RE JUST GLAD THAT WE COULD DO SOMETHING FOR SOUTHLAKE. YEAH.
SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME.
IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE, GO BY THE DPS AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE DUMMY.
THEY'RE WILLING TO SHOW OFF ALL OF ITS CAPABILITIES AND DO DEMONSTRATIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME.
SO KUDOS TO YOU AND THE WHOLE TEAM THAT I SEE SITTING OVER THERE.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? AND BEFORE YOU ALL TAKE OFF YOU WANT TO GET A PICTURE? WE PLAN ON A PICTURE.
IF Y'ALL WOULD COME DOWN IN FRONT OF THE DAIS, WE'LL GET A PICTURE WITH Y'ALL.
[4. Stars and Stripes 25th Anniversary Update ]
UPDATE US ON WHAT'S COMING UP ON JULY 3RD, WHICH IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY.DIRECTOR CORTEZ. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO BE PRESENTING TO THE COUNCIL THIS YEAR.
IT IS 25 YEARS SINCE WE STARTED THIS GREAT TRADITION.
I THINK IF YOU WOULD HAVE PROBABLY ASKED THE COUNCIL 25 YEARS AGO IF THIS WOULD TURN INTO THE TRADITION THAT IT'S BECOME, I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WOULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT WE WOULD GET THIS FAR, BUT I DO FEEL PRIVILEGED BEING THE DIRECTOR THAT OVERSEES OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS.
I FEEL REALLY PRIVILEGED TO BE BRINGING YOU THIS 25TH ANNIVERSARY AND IN KEEPING WITH THE TRADITION WE HAVE IT SCHEDULED JULY 3RD OF THIS YEAR, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE A WEDNESDAY.
THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE GOING ON FROM 5 TO 11.
OF COURSE WE'LL HAVE FIREWORKS, AS WE'VE ALWAYS HAD AT 9:30.
A LOT OF GOOD ENTERTAINMENT, A LOT OF ACTIVITIES, DONUT EATING CONTESTS.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A SURPRISE OR TWO AS WELL THAT WE'RE SECURING AS WE SPEAK, AND OF COURSE, THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CHAMBER, THEY'LL BE SERVING A BEER AND WINE FOR SALE FOR ANYONE COMING TO VISIT THE EVENT.
[00:10:04]
GATEWAY CHURCH, WHO WE PARTNER FOR THIS AS WELL.AS AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A 25TH ANNIVERSARY, SO WE DO WANT TO GO A LITTLE BIG.
WE'VE DONE REALLY WELL WITH SPONSORSHIPS, WHICH IS A GOOD SEGUE.
THIS YEAR, IT'S JUST BEEN REMARKABLE THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE EVENT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RAISE OVER $20,000 WHICH IS AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN OVERSEEING EVENTS, THAT'S THAT HASN'T BEEN THE CASE, AND SPONSORSHIPS FOR FOR EVENTS.
SO THEY REALLY KIND OF HELP OFFSET SOME OF THE COSTS THAT WE HAVE.
SO JUST A SHORT LIST THERE OF SOME, SOME OF OUR EVENT SPONSORS.
WE DO HAVE A FEW MORE THAT ARE ON THEIR WAY WITH THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY, AND, OF COURSE, JUST AS ALWAYS, WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION AS WE START GETTING IT IN AND UPDATED ON SOUTHLAKE STARS AND STRIPES.COM, AND WE HOPE EVERYONE CAN MAKE IT OUT, AND IF NOT, OF COURSE WE'LL BE STREAMING STUFF THROUGH FACEBOOK AS WELL.
ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU DANIEL. WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
IT'S ONE OF THE BEST EVENTS WE DO EVERY YEAR.
WHEN RANDY AND I DID THE VIDEO THAT WILL SHOW RIGHT BEFORE THE EVENT, WE'RE SORT OF REMINISCING ABOUT OUR KIDS GROWING UP FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS, GOING TO THIS EVENT, HOW MUCH FUN IT IS FOR THE FAMILY, AND EVEN IF IT AS IT GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER EVERY YEAR, IT STILL FEELS LIKE THAT SMALL TOWN, OLD FASHIONED TYPE OF ACTIVITY AND EVENT.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? KATHY? I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE TAKING PART IN THE DONUT EATING CONTEST.
ANYONE ELSE HERE? GOOD IDEA, THOUGH.
ANYTHING ELSE FOR DANIEL? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

A COUPLE CORRECTIONS FOR THE MINUTES.

IF YOU AND COUNCIL ARE OKAY WITH THAT.
I'M GOOD WITH THAT. OKAY WITH NINE A GOING ON CONSENT? OKAY. I THINK WE'RE GOOD ON THAT.
SO I JUST THOUGHT I'D THROW THAT OUT THERE AND SEE WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO.
JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS. ITEM EIGHT A IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 24-021 APPOINTING MEMBERS CHAIRS AND VICE CHAIRS TO VARIOUS POSITIONS ON BUILDING, BOARD OF APPEALS, PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, SOUTHLAKE PARKS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
HOW DOES COUNCIL WANT TO HANDLE THAT? YOU WANT TO DISCUSS IT NOW, OR DO YOU WANT TO TAKE IT UP IN DUE COURSE ON THE REGULAR AGENDA? I THINK IT'S MOSTLY REAPPOINTMENTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY SERVING.
WE HAVE, I THINK, THREE OPENINGS IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
OKAY. SO I'D SAY LET'S GO AHEAD AND KNOCK IT OUT AND MOVE IT TO CONSENT.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S TAKE THAT AND WE'LL PUT THAT ON CONSENT.
DO WE NEED TO GIVE THE NAMES NOW OR DO WE.
OKAY. YOU WANT TO DISCUSS ANY OF THE NAMES? I THINK WE'RE WE'RE BLESSED IN THE IN THE SENSE THAT WE HAVE, AS ALWAYS, MORE APPLICANTS THAN SPOTS OPEN, AND WE HAVE SOME GREAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY SERVED IN VARIOUS ROLES, AND THANKFULLY THEY'RE ASKING TO BE REAPPOINTED.
SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY START WITH THAT BUT THE NEWBIES WHO ARE LOOKING TO GET ON YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE APPLIED, I KNOW FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, WAY BACK WHEN I DIDN'T GET SELECTED MY FIRST TIME APPLYING FOR ZBA, AND I DIDN'T GET SELECTED MY FIRST TIME APPLYING FOR PLANNING AND ZONING, BUT IT TENDS TO WORK OUT USUALLY ON THE SECOND GO.
AGAIN, WE'RE BLESSED TO HAVE SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME.
SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH REAPPOINTING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASKED TO BE REAPPOINTED AND MAYBE GET PAST THAT? THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE THREE OPEN SPOTS AND SOME NAMES.
SURE. LET'S JUST MAYBE FOCUS ON THE THREE OPEN SPOTS AND COUNCILMEMBER TALLEY.
WHAT ARE WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT THERE? YEAH. LET ME JUST ADD ON TO WHAT YOU SAID.
WE ALWAYS OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY OR WE HAVE BEEN FOR A FEW YEARS NOW OF PEOPLE COMING IN TO INTERVIEW AND JUST HAVE A CHAT, AND I JUST APPRECIATE ALL THOSE FOLKS THAT DID THAT AND TOOK THEIR TIME TO DO THAT, AND WE SAT AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROCESS AND I GET TO KNOW PEOPLE A LITTLE BIT BETTER, AND YOU PUT A FACE WITH A NAME AND THEIR STORY, AND SO I JUST WANT TO SHOUT OUT TO ALL THOSE FOLKS WHO COULD NOT EVERYBODY COULD, BUT I APPRECIATE THAT AND JUST ALL THE APPLICANTS.
IT'S VOLUNTEER WORK THAT WE ALL DO, SO IT'S GREAT THAT PEOPLE WANT TO SERVE.
OKAY. YES. SO I THINK WE'LL START WITH BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS.
WELL, THAT ONE, YOU WANT ME TO WAIT ON THAT ONE? BECAUSE WE MIGHT HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON THAT ONE, OR YOU WANT ME JUST GO THROUGH THEM ALL IN ORDER.
YEAH. MAYBE LEAVE THAT ONE TILL LAST.
MAYBE START WITH PARKS AND REC BOARD.
PARKS AND REC'S GOING TO HAVE TWO NEW ONES.
SO LET'S GO TO PLANNING AND ZONING.
SO RECOMMEND THAT WE KEEP ON DANIEL KUBIAK, MIKE FOREMAN, AND AUSTIN REYNOLDS IN THEIR POSITIONS.
SOUTHLAKE PARKS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION RECOMMEND THAT WE REAPPOINT TAMARA MCMILLAN AS THE CITIZEN REPRESENTATIVE AND MAGDALENA BATTLES AS THE PARKS BOARD REPRESENTATIVE, AND IF MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMSON WANTS TO STAY ON AS PRESIDENT, I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT.
[00:20:01]
I'D BE HAPPY TO. OKAY.THANK YOU SIR. I HEARD THAT ONE PAYS REALLY WELL.
HEATHER KING PLACE FOR FRANK BERNARDO AS THE ALTERNATE NUMBER TWO.
AL KARMALI AS THE ALTERNATE NUMBER FOUR JEFF MEDICI AS CHAIR AND DAVID TREICHLER AS VICE CHAIR.
OKAY, SO THOSE ARE ALL REAPPOINTMENTS.
OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE INTERVIEWS ON APPOINTMENTS TO THE IS IT PLACE ONE AND PLACE THREE ARE OPEN? YES, SIR. I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND JOE SANSONE AND PATRICK MUNDLIN FOR THOSE.
OKAY. I'M GOOD WITH BOTH OF THEM.
ANY DISCUSSION ON THOSE TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS TO PARKS? PARKS BOARD? NO.
ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE'RE GOOD WITH THAT, AND THEN FOR BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS.
COUNCILMEMBER TALLEY DO WE NEED TO NAME CHAIR? OH, YES WE DO, YES WE DO.
YES. MAGDALENA BATTLES AS CHAIR.
OKAY, AND PAUL VENESKY REAPPOINTED AS VICE CHAIR, I GUESS.
YEAH. OKAY. THEY DO IT ALL RIGHT.
JUST THE CHAIR. SO THAT JUST LEAVES.
RIGHT. WE HAVE AN OPENING AND PLACE TWO, AND I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND MOVING UP GEORGI DYE, WHO'S AN ALTERNATE TO FILL THAT VACANCY IF EVERYBODY'S OKAY WITH THAT, AND THEN WE HAD WE WOULD HAVE AN OPENING FOR ALTERNATE NUMBER TWO.
OKAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT PLACE FOUR I SEE PLACE TWO AND FOUR AVAILABLE.
OH, REAPPOINTING. SORRY, DAWN ANDROSKY, THAT'S A REAPPOINTMENT.
OKAY, SO WE JUST NEED TO FILL ALTERNATE TWO.
YES. IF YOU GUYS WANT TO DO IT THAT WAY.
SO WE HAVE KEVIN O'DONNELL AND PAUL SEGAL, AND I ENJOYED MEETING BOTH OF THEM.
SO I THINK THEY BOTH WANT TO BE INVOLVED, AND THIS IS A WAY TO DO THAT.
NOW, IF COUNCILMEMBER TALLEY, THOUGH FEELS LIKE THAT HE'S MORE INTERESTED IN SOMETHING ELSE.
YOU KNOW, WE COULD WAIT UNTIL AN OPPORTUNITY ARISES, BUT I'M FINE APPOINTING HIM TO THIS.
I MEAN, THIS BOARD DOESN'T MEET VERY OFTEN, AND IF WE WANTED TO GIVE HIM ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WHEN WE DO THE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IN OCTOBER, I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE A BAD THING.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. SO LET'S GET THEM INVOLVED NOW, AND SO PAUL SIEGEL TO ALTERNATE TWO.
YEAH FOR BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS, AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'LL CATCH MR. O'DONNELL ON THE NEXT PASS, MAYBE IN OCTOBER, AND THEN WHO'S THE CURRENT CHAIR.
BECAUSE WE NEED TO REAPPOINT A CHAIR TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS.
WHO IS THAT? COUNCILMEMBER TALLEY.
WELL, THAT'S VACANT BECAUSE DAVID CARPENTER DID NOT REAPPLY.
OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO THAT, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.
I'M NOT SURE WHO'S THE LONGEST SERVING MEMBER OF THAT BOARD.
MAYBE WE CAN FIGURE THAT BEFORE WE MAKE THE MOTION, AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT WHEN WE COME BACK.
ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THOSE APPOINTMENTS? GOOD JOB. COUNCILMEMBER TALLEY.
THANK YOU. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM TALLEY APPRECIATE THAT.
THAT CONCLUDES THE WORK SESSION.
[1. Call to order.]
SO I WILL CALL OUR REGULAR SESSION TO ORDER, AND THE FIRST ITEM IN OUR REGULAR SESSION IS TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.[2.A. Executive Session]
AS MAYOR, I HEREBY ADVISE YOU THAT WE'RE GOING TO EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT, CHAPTER 5.51 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE AND SECTION 551.071 TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY AND SECTION 551.074 TO DELIBERATE REGARDING PERSONNEL MATTERS AND CITY MANAGER, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK WE'LL BE BACK THERE? 45 MINUTES. SO BACK AROUND 6:40.ALL RIGHT. WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.
[2.B. Reconvene]
I'LL CALL OUR MEETING BACK TO ORDER.[00:25:04]
$12,300 EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST, 2024 AND EXPIRING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2024.ALL RIGHT. LET'S CAST OUR VOTES, AND THAT MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO.
NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS THE ITEM THREE A THE MAYOR'S REPORT.
[3.A. Mayor’s Report]
I HAVE TWO THINGS TONIGHT.FIRST OF ALL THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION, A LOT OF QUESTIONS RECENTLY OVER THE LAST MONTH OR SO ABOUT SOME RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'VE HANDLED SPECIFICALLY MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, AND, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY FOR COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMSON AND I, WE'VE BEEN ON THE COUNCIL FOR THE TEN YEARS, AND I THINK EVERY YEAR WE'VE ALWAYS HAD THE LOWEST DENSITY OF ANY COMMUNITY IN DFW, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'RE PROUD OF, AND THAT'S THE RESULT OF A LOT OF CAREFUL PLANNING CAREFUL MANAGEMENT OF OUR RESIDENTIAL DENSITY, AND I THINK EVEN DURING THAT TIME, WE REDUCED THE PROJECTED BUILD OUT POPULATION WISE FROM 40,000 TO 34,000.
SO THESE TWO RECENT CASES THAT WE'VE HANDLED BOTH FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, ONE WAS APPROVED, ONE WAS NOT APPROVED, BUT THOSE TWO CASES FOR ME AND I THINK FOR COUNCIL HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT HOW WE DEFINE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION IN OUR LAND USE PLAN OR ORDINANCES ON WHAT THAT MEANS AS FAR AS UNITS PER ACRE OR MINIMUM LOT SIZE, AND THAT'S BEEN THE WAY IT'S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE 1998.
SO I THINK THESE CASES HAVE BROUGHT UP THE IDEA THAT MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE WE'VE ALREADY STARTED LOOKING AT THAT EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE ANY MEETINGS LIKE THIS IN JULY COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF WILL CONTINUE WORKING OVER THE SUMMER ON LOOKING BACK AT OUR THE HISTORY OF THAT DEFINITION ALL THE WAY THROUGH 1998 POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS FROM OTHER CITIES, POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR WHAT WE MIGHT WANT TO DO.
I'M THINKING WE MIGHT DO, LIKE A PUBLIC FORUM, TOWN HALL FORUM HERE AFTER LABOR DAY.
SO STAY TUNED FOR THAT AND MORE TO COME.
ALSO, TOMORROW IS JUNE 19TH, ALSO KNOWN AS JUNETEENTH, AND IT'S A STATE HOLIDAY, OF COURSE, AND A NATIONAL HOLIDAY, AND AS WE WERE LOOKING AT WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE'VE DONE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING TOMORROW MORNING TO COMMEMORATE JUNETEENTH, BUT WE WERE LOOKING AT THINGS AND A STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR ABBOTT, WHICH REALLY REALLY WAS IMPACTFUL IN THE SENSE IT CELEBRATED THE HISTORY AND ALL THE PROGRESS THAT'S BEEN MADE, AND PARTS OF GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S STATEMENT REGARDING THE HOLIDAY ARE GOING TO BE PART OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA POST TOMORROW BUT THE LAST LINE OF GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S WORDS REALLY HIT HOME.
IT'S AS JUNETEENTH MESSAGE OF EMPOWERMENT SPREADS ACROSS TEXAS AND BEYOND.
GREAT WORDS FROM GOVERNOR ABBOTT.
WE'LL ALSO HAVE SOME LINKS TO MORE INFORMATION FROM FROM STATE OFFICES WITH A LOT OF THE HISTORY, THE GREAT HISTORY THAT REALLY, YOU KNOW, TEXAS HAS SUCH A RICH HISTORY, AND I THINK THAT RICH HISTORY MAKES TEXAS THE STATE THAT IT IS TODAY, AND SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING TO CELEBRATE THAT.
SO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THOSE TWO ITEMS FROM THE MAYOR'S REPORT? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE WILL MOVE ON NOW TO THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.
[3.B. City Manager’s Report]
YES. THANK YOU, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.I'D LIKE TO ASK MADELINE PRATER TO STEP FORWARD.
THANK YOU, CITY MANAGER, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME PRESENT TO YOU.
I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION TO GO OVER OUR FISCAL YEAR 2023 ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT THAT WAS CREATED AT THE END OF FISCAL AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, AND IS NOW POSTED ON OUR CITY'S WEBSITE ON THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT HOME PAGE.
WE DO HAVE SEVEN SECTIONS IN THIS ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT.
HOWEVER, FOR THIS PRESENTATION I DID COMBINE VALUATION AND REVENUE, BUT THE SEVEN SECTIONS THAT WE HAVE ARE A SOUTHLAKE SNAPSHOT OUR ECONOMIC OVERVIEW, WE HAVE A PORTION ABOUT UNDERSTANDING DEVELOPMENT, NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND NEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND FINALLY VALUATION AND REVENUE.
[00:30:05]
WITHIN OUR SOUTHLAKE SNAPSHOT.WE DO HAVE SOME STATISTICS ABOUT THE CITY ITSELF, BUT THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT THAT I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD PULL THIS EVENING ARE THAT THE CITY BOND RATING IS AT TRIPLE A, AND THE CITY IS DEVELOPED ABOUT 92% AT THIS POINT, AND A SHORT NOTE, THE ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT IS CREATED BY THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, BUT I ALSO HAVE GREAT ASSISTANCE FROM THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM DEPARTMENT, AND OF COURSE, THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.
SO NOW LET'S DIVE INTO OUR ECONOMIC OVERVIEW SECTION.
I PULLED OUR TOP FOUR AREAS THAT WE SHOWCASE IN THIS SECTION WHICH IS BUSINESS, THE HOUSING MARKET, POPULATION AND OCCUPANCY, AND SO FOR THESE AREAS, I'VE ALSO PULLED SOME OF THE TOP PIECES OF DATA AND STATISTICS THAT I THOUGHT MAYOR AND COUNCIL WOULD BE MOST INTERESTED IN TO PUT ON THIS SPECIFIC SLIDE, AND FOR PLANNING IN PARTICULAR I'LL POINT OUT THAT WE HAD 73 NEW HOME PERMITS ISSUED WITHIN THE HOUSING MARKET, AND WE ALSO ISSUED 216 CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY.
I DO HAVE A PORTION OF THE REPORT FOR A YEAR IN PLANNING AND A YEAR IN BUILDING.
SO AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN AND DURING FISCAL YEAR 2023, WE ISSUED 2990 BUILDING PERMITS, AND THIS IS OUR TOTAL NUMBER OF BUILDING PERMITS. SO IT INCLUDES EVERYTHING FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION PERMITS, SIGN PERMITS, ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, POOLS AND A LOT MORE THAT GOES INTO IT. WE ALSO COMPLETED ABOUT 12,000 BUILDING INSPECTIONS, AND THIS NUMBER DID REMAIN STEADY FROM THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR 2022, AND SO FAR IN FISCAL YEAR 2024, WE'VE COMPLETED 7544 BUILDING INSPECTIONS, AND THE LAST ONE SHOWS THAT WE HAD A 90%, 97% ONLINE QUESTION FORM RESPONDED TO WITHIN 48 HOUR PERIOD.
WE HAVE NOW SWITCHED TO SOUTHLAKE SERVE, SO I DO NOT HAVE THAT CURRENT NUMBER IN FRONT OF ME ON OUR RATE WITH WHICH WE RESPOND TO OUR CUSTOMERS WITHIN A 48 HOUR PERIOD, BUT I'D LIKE TO GET THAT HERE PRETTY SOON.
ON THIS SLIDE, I HAVE A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS GRAPH FOR THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD DATING BACK TO 2019, ALL THE WAY TO 2023 OF OUR TOTAL BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED.
SO ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, I MENTIONED, THERE WAS 2990 BUILDING PERMITS IN FISCAL YEAR 2023.
SO AS YOU SEE, WE HAVE REMAINED STEADY OVER A FIVE YEAR HISTORICAL PERIOD, AND SO FAR IN FISCAL YEAR 2024, WE HAVE ISSUED 1846 PERMITS.
SO WE HOPE TO SEE THAT NUMBER INCREASE GOING INTO OUR FINAL QUARTER, WHICH WILL BEGIN JULY 1ST.
THERE WERE 73 NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED, AND WE DID COLLECT $322,495.
THAT IS A DECREASE FROM FY 2022, AND GOING ON TO OUR NEW COMMERCIAL.
THIS IS ALSO A HISTORICAL GRAPH.
FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, WE DID ISSUE 19 NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, AND OUR DEPARTMENT COLLECTED A LITTLE OVER $1 MILLION IN THE FEES FOR OUR NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS THAT WERE ISSUED, AND ON OUR FINAL SLIDE THIS EVENING, I DO HAVE A COUPLE GRAPHS FROM OUR REVENUE GENERATORS, AND ONE OF THEM IS HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX COLLECTED, SIGN PERMIT FEES COLLECTED, AND OUR TOTAL BUILDING FEES COLLECTED FROM OUR BUILDING PERMITS, WHICH IS AT 1.5 MILLION FOR 2023, AND THAT DOES CONCLUDE THE VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION THIS EVENING FOR THE ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT.
I DID MENTION THAT IT IS NOW LIVE ON OUR WEBSITE.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE THAT REPORT. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION ON ALL YOUR GRAPHING STUFF.
DO WE EXPECT THAT TO BUMP UP SOME SO THAT WE SEE THESE DIFFERENTLY?
[00:35:04]
I'LL PASS THAT OFF TO DENNIS.AT THIS STAGE. NO I DON'T SEE IT REACHING WHAT WE HIT IN 22, WHICH WAS REALLY A PEAK PERIOD OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
THERE WILL BE SOME. THERE'LL BE MORE FEES COLLECTED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.
NEXT WE'LL GO BACK TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.
[CONSENT AGENDA]
COUNCIL REVIEWED THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS DURING THE WORK SESSION.THANK YOU, MAYOR, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA, WHICH IS ITEMS FOUR A THROUGH £0.04, NOTING THAT WE ARE ALSO ADDING ITEM EIGHT A, WHICH IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 24-021 APPOINTING MEMBERS CHAIRS AND OR VICE CHAIRS TO POSITIONS ON THE BUILDING.
BOARD OF APPEALS, PARKS AND RECS, RECREATION BOARD, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, SOUTHLAKE PARKS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, AND THESE NAMES WERE ALL READ IN THE WORK SESSION, AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT WE DID NOT COVER THE CHAIR FOR THE BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT BE DAWN ANDROSKY AND THEN NOTING WE'D ALSO LIKE TO ADD ITEM NINE A FOR APPROVAL TO THE CONSENT AGENDA, WHICH IS APPROVING ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT, ESA, WITH KIMLEY-HORN TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES FOR TXDOT'S FM 1938 MEDIAN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 125,000.
ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM TALLEY.
NEXT UP, WE USUALLY DO PUBLIC FORUM, BUT THAT HAS TO WAIT UNTIL 7:00, SO WE WILL SKIP AHEAD TO.
[6.A. Ordinance No. 1284, 2nd Reading, appointing Carol Montgomery as the Judge of the Municipal Court of Record and authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with the Municipal Judge. PUBLIC HEARING ]
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE ITEM SIX, A ORDINANCE NUMBER 1284.DIRECTOR BLACK OR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.
SORRY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
THE CHARTER DOES HAVE A NUMBER OF REQUIREMENTS WHEN IT COMES TO APPOINTING YOUR JUDGE.
IT IS A CITY COUNCIL APPOINTED POSITION.
THE CANDIDATE MUST BE A LICENSED ATTORNEY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND IN GOOD STANDING.
THEY MUST HAVE TWO YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND THAT THE JUDGE SHALL SERVE A TWO YEAR TERM.
JUDGE MONTGOMERY IS THE CURRENT JUDGE AND SHE HAS BEEN SINCE 2001.
SHE IS SEEKING REELECTION OR REAPPOINTMENT.
I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YEAH, I WOULD JUST ADD A COMMENT.
IT'S NO SURPRISE TO ME WHY JUDGE MONTGOMERY HAS BEEN IN HER POSITION SINCE 2001.
SHE DOES A FANTASTIC JOB, AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU, I'VE, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO OBSERVE HER IN DIFFERENT SETTINGS, ACTUALLY IN HER COURTROOM, JUST TO OBSERVE AND WATCH HOW SHE INTERACTS WITH OUR RESIDENTS, HOW SHE INTERACTS WITH OUR TEENS WHEN THEY COME, MAYBE WITH A SPEEDING TICKET AND, YOU KNOW, TRANSFERRING THEM OVER TO TEEN COURT, THAT TYPE OF THING, BUT SHE HAS A REALLY FIRM BUT GENTLE TOUCH WITH PEOPLE, AND THEN EVEN, YOU KNOW, YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND, BUT THIS ROLE TAKES A LOT OF TIME ON THE WEEKENDS AND THE EVENINGS AT ALL HOURS, TAKING PHONE CALLS FROM OUR POLICE OFFICERS FOR, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S DUI TYPE THINGS WHERE THEY NEED A COURT ORDER FOR BLOOD DRAWS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
SO THERE IS A LOT HERE, AND SO SHE DOES A GREAT JOB, AND I'M EXCITED TO CONTINUE THAT.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
SO IT REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM SIX A.
DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK REGARDING ITEM SIX A AND JUDGE MONTGOMERY? SEEING NONE. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TAKE A MOTION ON ITEM SIX A.
[00:40:03]
NOTING THAT WE ARE APPROVING THE APPOINTMENT OF CAROL MONTGOMERY AS THE JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF RECORD AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE MUNICIPAL JUDGE.ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. CAST YOUR VOTES, AND THAT MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO.

[6.C. SV24-0005, Sign Variances for Tom Thumb Gasoline Service Station & Convenience Store, located at 110 W. Southlake Blvd., Southlake, Texas.]
CASE NUMBER SB24-0005.ITEM SIX C, DIRECTOR KILLOUGH.
THANK YOU, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL.
THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO PLACE SIGNS ON THE EXISTING BUILDING AND RE-UTILIZE AN EXISTING MONUMENT SIGN THAT DOES NOT CONFORM WITH THE CURRENT REGULATIONS AND BECAME OBSOLETE AFTER THE CLOSURE OF THIS FACILITY.
THIS IS AN EXHIBIT THAT SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED SIGNS.
THERE'LL BE AN ATTACHED SIGN ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, A ATTACHED SIGN ON THE SOUTH CORNER OF THE CANOPY, AS WELL AS THE NORTH EAST CORNER OF THE CANOPY, A ATM DIRECTIONAL SIGN, AND THEN THE SIGN D IS THE EXISTING MONUMENT SIGN.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED ELEVATION SHOWING THE ATTACHED SIGNS TO BE PLACED ON THE BUILDING.
THE UPPER ELEVATION IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION.
IT ALSO INCLUDES THE SOUTH VIEW OF THE CANOPY, AND THEN THE LOWER ELEVATION IS THE NORTH FACADE.
OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AND CANOPY.
FOLLOWING P&Z'S ACTION THEY INITIALLY HAD A WELCOME SIGN PLACED OVER THE DOOR AND BASED ON P&Z'S RECOMMENDATION OR, EXCUSE ME, SIGN BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION.
THAT WAS REMOVED, AND THIS EXHIBIT REFLECTS REMOVAL OF THAT WELCOME SIGN.
IT'S A BLACK DURING DAYTIME AND AT NIGHT IT IS A WHITE LIGHT.
THIS IS A DETAIL OF THE REQUESTED VARIANCES IN EACH CASES OF THE ATTACHED BUILDING SIGNS.
IT'S REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A LETTER HEIGHT SLIGHTLY GREATER THAN WHAT'S PERMITTED BY THE ORDINANCE.
THIS IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION TOWARDS SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.
[00:45:07]
NORTH, AND THIS IS ON THE CANOPY STRUCTURE.THEY'RE CONFORMING WITH THE PERMITTED LETTER HEIGHT.
HOWEVER, JUSTIFICATION PLACEMENT OF THE SIGN ON THE FACADE OF THE CANOPY.
THIS IS EXHIBIT OF THE EXISTING MONUMENT SIGN.
IT WOULD BE REFACED WITH THE NEW GASOLINE PRICING PANEL, AND THEN WOULD INCLUDE A TOM THUMB EXPRESS SIGN PANEL, AND FOLLOWING SIGN BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION.
THEY PROVIDE A SECOND OPTION OF A SLIGHTLY SMALLER TOM THUMB EXPRESS PANEL.
SO BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS A CHOICE BETWEEN EXAMPLE A OPTION OR EXAMPLE B OPTION, WHICH ONCE AGAIN IS A SLIGHTLY LESS SIGN AREA, AND NOW THIS IS A DETAIL OF THOSE TWO EXHIBITS. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A AND B IS APPROXIMATELY SIX SQUARE FEET.
NOW THIS IS THE DIRECTIONAL SIGN PROPOSED FOR THE ATM DRIVE-THRU LANE, AND THE REQUEST ON VARIANCE FOR THAT IS HEIGHT AND NO MASONRY STRUCTURE AROUND THE DIRECTIONAL SIGN.
SIGN BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION, THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL 5-0, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE WELCOME SIGN WOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE FRONT DOOR, AND TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL OPTION ON THE MONUMENT SIGN, AND TOM THUMB EXPRESS PANEL, WHICH HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU THIS EVENING.
I'LL BE GLAD TO REFER BACK TO ANY SLIDES OR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THE SIGN PACKAGE? ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE'RE GOOD. I HAVE ONE OR TWO FOR THE APPLICANT.
IF THE APPLICANT WOULD COME ON UP.
DENNIS, AND ACTUALLY, THAT'S THE PERFECT SLIDE FOR IT, TOO.
THANK YOU. DAVID HARDIN WITH TOM THUMB 2401 RANDOL MILL, SUITE 300, ARLINGTON, TEXAS.
THANK YOU SIR. SO MY QUESTION THAT MONUMENT WILL THAT BE REFRESHED TO.
I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE TYPE OF STUCCO YOU'RE USING.
YEAH. THE BOTTOM OF THE SIGN IS THE BRICK IS GOING TO BE STAINED TO MATCH THE BUILDING, AND THEN THE STONE IS GOING TO BE CLEANED AND YOU READ MY MIND.
I WAS GOING TO SAY, YEAH IT'S SHOWN IN THE PICTURE.
SO IT'LL LOOK BRAND NEW WHEN WE'RE DONE.
IT'S JUST THE BRAND THAT WE PUT ON OUR CONVENIENCE STORES.
SO ALL YOUR CONVENIENCE STORES ARE CALLED EXPRESS.
TOM THUMB AND SMALL, SO THEY CALL IT EXPRESS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I THINK WE'RE GOOD. IT LOOKS GOOD TO ME.
THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE ON A OR B? I MEAN, TO ME, THAT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME.
REALLY? OUR PREFERENCE IS A JUST A SLIGHTLY BIGGER I MEAN, IT THIS THIS WHOLE SITE IS A LITTLE BIT RECESSED COMPARED TO THE ROAD. SO THE VISIBILITY IS A LITTLE BIT TOUGH.
SO HAD YOU ANSWERED THE SMALLER SIGN, I'D HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED.
WE CAN'T HAVE TOO MUCH SIGNAGE.
YEAH, I'M GOOD WITH THE EXAMPLE A AND THE SIGN PACKAGE.
SO ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT.
IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING ITEM SIX C THE SIGN VARIANCES FOR THE TOM THUMB GAS STATION.
YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX C OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS A VARIANCE OTHERWISE REFERRED TO AS SB 24-0005 SIGN VARIANCES FOR TOM THUMB GASOLINE SERVICE STATION AND CONVENIENCE STORE LOCATED AT 110 WEST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.
[00:50:01]
SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED JUNE 11TH, 2024, AND WE'RE APPROVING THE FOLLOWING VARIANCES AS PRESENTED.SOUTH ELEVATION BUILDING SIGN WITH A MAX LETTER HEIGHT OF 24IN.
SOUTH ELEVATION CANOPY SIGN WITH RIGHT JUSTIFIED PLACEMENT.
NORTH ELEVATION CANOPY SIGN WITH LEFT JUSTIFIED PLACEMENT.
DIRECTIONAL SIGN FOR THE ATM WITH TOTAL SIGN HEIGHT OF FIVE FEET THREE FEET MAX AND NO MASONRY STRUCTURE SURROUNDING THE SIGN FACE, ALLOWING THE EXISTING GASOLINE MONUMENT SIGN AS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.
WITH THE NEW PRICING PANEL AND THE ADDITION OF THE TOM THUMB EXPRESS PANEL, AND NOTING THAT WE ARE APPROVING EXAMPLE A, AS SHOWN THIS EVENING WITH A SIGN FACE AREA OF 77.4FT², AND NOTING THE APPLICANT'S COMMITMENT TO RESTORE THE CURRENT MONUMENT SIGN TO A LIKE NEW STATUS.
ALL RIGHT. CAST YOUR VOTES, AND THAT MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO.
CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK.
PERFECT TIMING AT 7:00 SO WE CAN OPEN OUR PUBLIC FORUM.
[5. Public Forum.]
LET'S SEE, AND PUBLIC FORUM IS WHERE WE ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK ON ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON OUR REGULAR AGENDA.ROBERT JOHNSON AT 18284 BEND LANE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC FORUM.
I'M A CITIZEN OF TARRANT COUNTY AND A RESIDENT OF KELLER.
MY ADDRESS IS 1828 FOREST BEND LANE, AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT ELECTION INTEGRITY AND TO SOLICIT YOUR HELP TO ENSURE THAT ALL THE CITIES IN TARRANT COUNTY ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF OUR ELECTION PROCESSES.
I THINK MOST CITIZENS OF TARRANT COUNTY WOULD BE SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION RECENTLY RATED TARRANT COUNTY AS RED, THE LOWEST IN FIVE CATEGORIES FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY, AND I'M SURE THAT RATING HAS SINCE IMPROVED, AS TARRANT COUNTY HAS DECIDED THAT THEY'RE GOING TO USE SERIALIZED BALLOTS IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION.
I ENCOURAGE EACH OF YOU TO DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO HELP ENSURE ELECTION INTEGRITY IN THE FUTURE ELECTIONS, BOTH IN SOUTHLAKE AND TEXAS, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE DOCUMENTARIES.
THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF OF INFORMATION ON ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT OUR ELECTIONS ARE AT RISK, AND A LOT OF CYBERSECURITY EXPERTS, RETIRED MILITARY, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ALL ACROSS THE NATION ARE LAUNCHING A SIGNIFICANT CAMPAIGN TO MAKE CITIZENS AWARE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISTER JOHNSON.
ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK DURING OUR PUBLIC FORUM? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM, AND THAT IS THE LAST ITEM ON OUR REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA.
SO WE ARE ADJOURNED.
