[3. Presentation from the Leadership Southlake Class]
NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS WORK SESSION, ITEM NUMBER THREE, PRESENTATION FROM THE LEADERSHIP SOUTHLAKE CLASS.AND I THINK WE HAVE LANDON AND RICK HERE TO LEAD US THROUGH THAT.
COME ON DOWN, GUYS. THOSE GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE RIGHT THERE.
YEP. ALL RIGHT. WELL, GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR MCCASKILL AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF, WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE LEADERSHIP CLASS OF 2025. OUR GOAL WAS TO FULFILL A NEED IN THE CITY.
AND AFTER LOTS OF DELIBERATION, WE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF SPONSORING AND BRINGING FUNDING FOR WRESTLING MATCH FOR THE CARROLL ISD WITH COACH HATHAWAY. WE WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT SERVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, IT DOES HELP BOTH MEN, YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN.
IT ALSO BRINGS ADDITIONAL REVENUE. TALKING TO COACH HATHAWAY, THEY CAN RUN AN EXTRA TOURNAMENT.
PLUS, IT GIVES MORE EXPOSURE WITH TEAMS AND PEOPLE FROM OUT OF STATE OR OUT OF THE AREA TO COMPETE.
THROUGH THE TIME WE MET WITH DANIEL AND OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY.
THE POLICE CHIEF, SHE WAS AMAZING, HAD A GREAT TIME.
WE WENT TO THE STATE, REALLY LEARNED ABOUT THE FUNCTIONING AND THE BACKBONES OF SOUTHLAKE, STUFF THAT WE NEVER REALLY KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT OR REALIZED, BUT I THINK IT REALLY BROUGHT US MUCH MORE ATTACHED TO THE CITY, A LOT MORE RESPECT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE BRINGING TO THE CITY AND WHY WE DID WHAT WE DID, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HAVE A LASTING IMPACT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS FOR ME. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ROLE.
THANK YOU FOR REALLY EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED.
I KNOW EVERYONE'S VERY BUSY WITH THEIR JOBS AND THEIR BUSINESSES, THEIR FAMILIES.
SO TAKING THE TIME TO COMMIT OVER A NUMBER OF MONTHS TO THE LEADERSHIP SOUTHLAKE PROGRAM.
AND REALLY, EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL DO WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS A BOARD MEMBER, I SEE IT.
[00:05:06]
SO MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO ADD YOU KNOW, CHARLES SCHWAB WAS OUR INITIAL SPONSOR.WE WERE ABLE TO GET APPROVAL. SO WE HAVE FOUR GOLD MAIN SPONSORS THAT ARE ON THE MAT.
THE NICE THING ABOUT IT IS THEY WERE ALL LOCAL BUSINESSMEN AND WOMEN IN SOUTHLAKE.
GREAT JOB. COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
EVERYBODY LOOK HERE. ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO. ONE.
TWO. THREE. ONE MORE. ONE. TWO. THREE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. I KNOW YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF STUFF. I'LL JUST SKIP THAT ONE.
[4. Honor the City of Southlake as Fit City 2025 Champions]
WE DEFENDED THE TITLE. WE PROTECTED THE TRADITION.DIRECTOR MILLER. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW.
NOW TO TALK ABOUT THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE IS FIT CITY CHAMPIONS.
I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE A FEW MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM WHO ARE REALLY INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING THIS CHALLENGE BECOME THE SUCCESS THAT IT HAS, AND HELPING US BE SUCCESSFUL AGAIN THIS YEAR. SO MANY OF YOU KNOW VICKY SCHIBER, SHE IS OUR COMMUNITY RELATIONS MANAGER.
SHE'S BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS AND SHE WEARS MANY DIFFERENT HATS IN OUR DEPARTMENT, HELPS WITH SPECIAL EVENTS, MARKETING, CUSTOMER RELATIONS, AND REALLY INSTRUMENTAL IN TELLING THE CITY STORY AND HELPING US BE SUCCESSFUL.
WE ALSO HAVE CHRISTINA GUZMAN, WHO'S BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR ALMOST JUST OVER FIVE YEARS.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO SHARE ABOUT THE CHALLENGE AND HELP HONOR THE WINNERS.
THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WE'RE JUST GOING TO TURN THIS AND SHIFT IT TO THE FRONT SO YOU CAN SEE SOUTHLAKE LISTED THREE TIMES. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT.
I WANTED TO REITERATE AGAIN THAT WHAT DAVID SAID.
I DON'T WANT TO JINX IT, BUT WE DID REALLY GOOD.
WE DID HAVE A FEW CHANGES THIS YEAR. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE DONE IT THE PAST THREE YEARS, YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THE ADDITION OF THE WELLNESS ACTIVITIES ON THE GOJOE APP.
SO THAT WAS YOUR MEDITATION AND YOUR LIFESTYLE, THINGS LIKE GARDENING AND BREATHWORK AND JOURNALING, ALTHOUGH NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT, I WAS SURPRISED. WE ALSO ADDED AN ELEMENT THAT WAS A FUN CHALLENGE WITH THE TWO CITIES, AND THAT WAS TO WALK ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND WE DID PRETTY DARN GOOD.
WE GOT THERE. SO WE MOVED IT TO THE MONTH OF MAY THIS YEAR, WHICH WAS ANOTHER EASY THING FOR US.
IT WAS JUST EASIER TO KIND OF KEEP TRACK AND NOT THINK ABOUT, IS IT MID-APRIL TO MID-MAY? IT WAS JUST THE MONTH OF MAY, SO THAT WAS FUN.
BUT AGAIN, MULTI-CITY MULTI-DEPARTMENTAL COMMUNICATION EFFORT.
OUR GOAL IS TO ULTIMATELY CREATE A WELLNESS EXPERIENCE ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.
THIS WAS A COMPLETE CITYWIDE EFFORT. OUR DEPARTMENT COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT A LOT OF HELP.
[00:10:02]
THE OFFICE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WERE INSTRUMENTAL WITH US.IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT FOR US TO COMMUNICATE ACROSS ALL THE CHALLENGES.
SO HERE WE GO BY THE NUMBERS. LET'S JUMP INTO IT BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS WHAT YOU GUYS WANT.
SO FIRST PLACE WITH 113 POINTS TEAM SOUTHLAKE.
AND THEN THE CITY OF KELLER CAME IN SECOND PLACE AGAIN WITH 102 POINTS TOTAL.
AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE TEAM THAT HAS THE MOST PARTICIPANTS.
SO IT'S A POINT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE GET CONFUSED ON.
BUT MORE PARTICIPANTS DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE LEG UP.
AND WE'VE SHOWN THAT THE LAST THREE YEARS IN A ROW.
SO HERE'S SOME FUN NUMBERS FOR YOU ALL. OVERALL, THESE ARE OVERALL CITY NUMBERS.
SO PRETTY DARN GOOD. WE HAD OVER 10,000 ACTIVITIES.
IT'S ABOUT 42 PER PERSON WAS WHERE THE AVERAGE WAS.
MY FAVORITE ONE, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S JUST THE GOOFIEST ONE.
OVERALL, WE HAD ALMOST 12,000 SLICES OF PIZZA, SO GOOD JOB.
WE HAD 9,000 PLUS HOURS OF EXERCISE AND MORE THAN 300 DAYS OF EXERCISE AS WELL.
AND A LOT OF CALORIES BURNED A LOT. AND THEN DEEPER DIVE.
LIKE I SAID, WE'RE ONLY ABOUT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, ONLY ABOUT 10,000 MILES SHORT OF WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR WITH THREE TEAMS. SO GOOD JOB EVERYONE. YOU CAN SEE THE MAP OF WHERE WE STARTED TO WALK AND ZIGZAG ACROSS THE STREET.
SO WE DID AWESOME. WE STARTED ALL THE WAY NORTH AND THEN ENDED UP ALL THE WAY SOUTH.
AND THEN HERE ARE THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE NUMBERS.
WANTED TO CALL OUT A FEW MEMBERS WHO WERE SUPER INSTRUMENTAL WITH THAT.
WE HAD TWO FROM CITY COUNCIL, COUNCIL MEMBER SCHARLI AND REYNOLDS, AND THEN TWO FROM CCPD COUNCIL OR MEMBERS, BOARD MEMBERS DEMAS AND POWERS, AND THEN OUR ARTS COUNCIL CHAIR MCMILLAN WAS ALSO A PARTICIPANT THIS YEAR.
BUT AGAIN, AS YOU CAN SEE, JUST FUN BREAKDOWN OF ALL THE STAFF.
SO ABOUT 190 PARTICIPANTS FOR TEAM SOUTHLAKE.
WE CROSSED THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE MORE THAN 100,000 TIMES.
SO TEAM SOUTHLAKE WAS BUSY AND THEY DID REALLY GOOD.
YES, THE FITNESS TEAM, CHRISTINA AND HER TEAM THEY'RE OUR EXPERTS IN FITNESS AND EXERCISE, BUT THE CITY REALLY EMBRACES JUMPING INTO THIS CHALLENGE AND HELPING EACH OTHER OUT.
SO NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE 43 STAFF MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATED AND PLACED HIGHLY IN OUR TOP FINISHING STANDINGS. IT WAS MULTI DEPARTMENTS. OUR DEPARTMENT REALLY EMBRACED IT.
EVERYBODY KNEW HOW TO WORK THE APP. EVERYBODY KNEW WHERE THE WEB PAGE WAS.
EVERYBODY KNEW HOW TO SHOW SOMEONE HOW TO LOG THEIR ACTIVITY.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE EMBRACE BECAUSE YOU CAN BE ACTIVE ANYWHERE.
SO THE IDEA WAS IF THERE WAS THE PARKS TEAM OUT IN THE PARK DOING THEIR THING OUT IN THE PARK, THAT SOMEONE COULD WALK UP TO THEM AND THEY COULD SHOW THEM HOW TO WORK THE APP AND THEY LEANED INTO THAT AND DID REALLY GREAT. WE ALSO CHANGED UP OUR COMMUNICATIONS A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR, SO WE WERE MORE INTENTIONAL. WE TRIED TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FUN WITH IT AND BE LESS, JUST BOMBARD THEM WITH IT. SO WE ADDED A COUPLE OF GAMES.
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF A BINGO CARD THAT WE PUT OUT THERE.
SO JUST ENCOURAGING THE COMMUNITY TO GET AS MANY OF THESE DONE.
WE CREATED SEVERAL ONE MILE PATHS THROUGH DIFFERENT PARKS AND SHOWED YOU HOW TO WALK THAT.
WE DID A HYDRATION CHALLENGE. WE HAD A FUN LITTLE STICKER WITH THE HYDRATION DUDE.
WE HAD FUN VIDEOS THIS YEAR. WE DID THE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.
I MENTIONED THAT EARLIER. WE CHANGED UP THE T SHIRTS A LITTLE BIT.
[00:15:02]
WE'RE KIND OF GOOFY, BUT WE DID FIT CITY SOCKS THIS YEAR, SO THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN FOR US.AND THEY'RE REALLY COMFY. SO WE KIND OF CHANGED IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
AGAIN, WE LEANED ON THE WEBSITE. WE HAVE A DEDICATED WEBSITE, HAD INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS.
IT WALKED EVERYONE THROUGH WHAT THEY NEEDED TO KNOW, AND WE TRIED REALLY HARD TO PUSH EVERYONE TO THAT WEBSITE SO THEY COULD GET ALL THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED AS THEY NEEDED. SO NOW I'M GOING TO JUMP INTO WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN EXCITED FOR AND SEE WHO WON AND ALL THE AWARDS THAT WE DO.
AND GOJOE DOES THIS REALLY GREAT THING IS THEY OFFER BADGES.
SO AS PARTICIPANTS COMPLETE CHALLENGES THEY CAN GET A GOJOE BADGE.
AND SOUTHLAKE DID REALLY GREAT AND WE HAD THREE.
SO YOU CAN SEE COUNCIL MEMBER SCHARLI IS OUR WALK DISTANCE.
SHE GOT THE POSTIE, THE POSTIE BADGE FOR DOING GREAT WITH WALKING DISTANCE.
ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT COUNCIL MEMBER SCHARLI WAS IN FOURTH PLACE OVERALL.
CONGRATULATIONS! THANK YOU FOR THAT. MARK JAEGER IS OUR YELLOW JERSEY.
SO WE GOT THREE BADGES THIS YEAR. THAT WAS SUPER EXCITING.
AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO WELCOME UP OUR AWARD WINNERS WITH OUR TOP THREE.
THE BULLARD FAMILY KEPT IT IN THE FAMILY LAST YEAR.
IF YOU REMEMBER IT WAS BLAKE. AND THIS YEAR HIS MOM TOOK OVER FOR HIM AND CARRIED US OVER TO SECOND PLACE, SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED FOR THAT. BUT STARTING WITH THIRD PLACE AS I CALL YOUR NAME, IF YOU GUYS COULD COME FORWARD AND WE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR AWARD THAT WE PROMISED.
SO THIRD PLACE WAS CHRISTINA SCHULZ. SHE'S ALSO A INSTRUCTOR FOR US AT CHAMPIONS CLUB.
AS YOU CAN SEE, MOST OF HER POINTS WERE IN PICKLEBALL, SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED FOR THAT.
[APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATIONS. YEP, YOU CAN STAY.
AND THEN SECOND PLACE AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY IS MISS DANA BULLARD.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. SHE'S TAKING OVER FOR HER SON, THE TRIATHLETES.
SO SUPER EXCITING. WE LOVE HAVING THE TRIATHLETES ON OUR TEAM.
[APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATIONS. AND THEN OUR THREE PEAT KING, MR. JAMIE WOOLDRIDGE, FINISHED IN THIRD PLACE EVERY YEAR THAT WE'VE DONE IT.
SO HE'S HAD OVER 10,000 POINTS HE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HE WAS THE KING OF WALKING ACROSS SOUTHLAKE.
THIS YEAR HE IS OUR PICKLEBALL MASTER. CONGRATULATIONS.
[APPLAUSE] DOMINATED THE COURTS AND WAS EVERYWHERE FOR PICKLEBALL.
JAMIE IS ALSO THE AWESOME RECIPIENT OF A RECOVERY PACKAGE, WHICH IS A STRETCH SESSION AND A MASSAGE.
AND THEN, TO KEEP WITH THE TRADITION, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO AWARD JAMIE WITH THE MISTER FIT CITY 2025.
WE INVITED EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED, AND I THINK I SAW SOME GRAY SHIRTS BEHIND ME.
SO IF YOU HAVE A FIT CITY SHIRT OR YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE CHALLENGE AND FORGOT TO WEAR YOUR SHIRT, PLEASE STAND. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOGNIZE YOU.
SO AGAIN, TREMENDOUS EFFORT BY THE TEAM. I THINK WE FIGURED IT OUT.
WE LIKE SEEING THIS UP HERE. WE LIKE SEEING SOUTHLAKE LISTED ON THE TROPHY AS MUCH AS IT IS.
AND HERE, HERE WE GO. WE'RE READY FOR NEXT YEAR.
MAYOR MIZANI FROM KELLER CALLED GRACIOUSLY TO CONCEDE DEFEAT.
AND HE'S ALSO COMING UP WITH SOME IDEAS ON HOW WE CAN MAYBE CHANGE IT UP GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A FEW YEARS UNDER OUR BELTS, BUT HE SUGGESTED SOMETHING LIKE LIKE THE PRO SPORTS DO, LIKE A MID-YEAR ALL-STAR GAME. MAYBE WE DO A MID CHALLENGE PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT OR SOMETHING INVOLVING CITY COUNCIL OR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS OR SOMETHING.
SO WE'LL KEEP TRYING TO CHANGE IT AND MAKE IT MORE EXCITING EVERY YEAR.
KEEP IT FRESH. SO SOMETHING NEW FOR NEXT YEAR TO THINK ABOUT.
BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US WIN.
THANK YOU TO FRANCES AND AUSTIN. I KNOW MY NAME WASN'T MENTIONED.
SO BUT THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED AND HAD FUN WITH IT.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
I LIKE THE FORMAT WITH DOING IT IN THE MONTH OF MAY AND KEEPING IT SIMPLE FOR THE CALENDAR, SO THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO MAKE THAT CHANGE.
[00:20:02]
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT MAYOR, I DON'T LIKE THE MONTH OF MAY. IT'S TOO HOT IF YOU WALK A LOT.WE'LL ARM WRESTLE OVER IT. OKAY. TO BE CONTINUED, BUT GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR AND MAKING IT A FOUR PEAT. HEY, MAYOR. COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD A COMMENT ON YOUR COMMENT AROUND POSSIBLY A PICKLEBALL CHALLENGE YOU KNOW, BETWEEN COUNCILS. MY RECOLLECTION FROM THE RIBBON CUTTING AT THE COURTS WERE THAT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT CHALLENGE ON.
[LAUGHTER] IT WAS NOT GOOD. SO MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE SUGGESTED IT.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN THERE AND SEEN IT. YEAH. ALTHOUGH FORMER MAYOR HUFFMAN WAS A PART OF THAT.
AND THAT WAS A BIG YEAH, BIG ISSUE. MAYOR HUFFMAN AND I WON THE OKTOBERFEST PICKLEBALL CHALLENGE.
SO I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE IN AS GOOD A SHAPE AS WE WERE THAT DAY.
THERE'S NO WAY WE WERE, OR ARE. BU T WE'LL FIND SOMETHING NEW TO DO NEXT YEAR.
PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE COUNCIL BEFORE THE PICTURE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE THAT PICTURE. THANK YOU. AND LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. [APPLAUSE] FRANCES, YOU NEED TO GET. RIGHT IN HERE. OKAY.

[3.B. City Manager's Report]
THANK YOU, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM DIRECTOR, DANIEL CORTEZ, FORWARD, ALONG WITH OUR FESTIVALS AND EVENTS COORDINATOR, LAUREN KIMBERLY.WE ARE GETTING VERY, VERY CLOSE TO OUR ANNUAL STARS AND STRIPES CELEBRATION.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO TELL US EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE PLANNED.
AND WHILE WE'LL PROVIDE DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT, I WANTED TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF A SENTIMENTAL TOUCH ON MY SIDE ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO US WHEN WE PUT TOGETHER THIS EVENT FOR THE COMMUNITY.
SO AS I THOUGHT ABOUT SOME NOTES, I USUALLY DON'T SCRIPT OUT WHAT I, WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY, BUT USUALLY I KIND OF FELT WITH THIS IN PARTICULAR, I WANTED THE COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC TO KNOW REALLY WHAT IT MEANS TO US FOR US TO PUT ON THIS EVENT. AND SO STARS AND STRIPES REALLY JUST ISN'T AN EVENT.
IT'S A REFLECTION OF WHAT MAKES SOUTHLAKE SO SPECIAL.
AS STAFF, WE DON'T JUST PLAN A CELEBRATION, WE CREATE SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO SLOW DOWN, GATHER, AND TRULY FEEL A SENSE OF COMMUNITY. FOR ONE EVENING THE HUSTLE PAUSES AND NEIGHBORS BECOME FRIENDS.
STRANGERS SHARE SMILES, AND MEMORIES ARE MADE.
WHEN I'VE ASKED RESIDENTS AND VISITORS WHAT THEY LOVE MOST ABOUT THIS EVENT, THEY TALK ABOUT THE FEELING, HOW IT BRINGS THEM CLOSER TO THEIR FAMILIES, HOW EXCITING IT FEELS, HOW THE ENERGY REMINDS THEM THAT THEY'RE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER.
THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS. IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE FIREWORKS.
FOR ME PERSONALLY, IT'S SO MEANINGFUL TO WITNESS THE IMPACT OF THIS EVENT NOT FROM ANY STAGE, BUT FROM WITHIN THE CROWD. THE CONVERSATIONS I OVERHEAR, THE GRATITUDE YOU SEE IN THE SMILES AND THE LAUGHTER I HEAR.
AND LASTLY, AT THE HEART OF STARS AND STRIPES ARE THE MEMORIES WE'VE MADE FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS, EVEN AS SOME OF THE FUNNIER ONES LIKE WHAT YOU SEE HERE ON YOUR SCREEN.
[00:30:02]
THESE MOMENTS DON'T JUST LAST A NIGHT. THEY BECOME PART OF THE STORY FAMILIES TELL ABOUT GROWING UP IN SOUTHLAKE, ABOUT FEELING FULL WARMTH AND BEING PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL.AND THAT'S A LEGACY ALL OF US HERE AS CITY STAFF ARE PROUD TO HELP CREATE.
WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO THE PERSON WHO'S BEEN WORKING TIRELESSLY THE LAST SIX MONTHS ON MAKING SURE THIS STARS AND STRIPES IS JUST AS SPECIAL AS THE PREVIOUS 25. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CORTEZ, AND THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT OUR 26TH ANNUAL STARS AND STRIPES.
THIS YEAR IT WILL BE ON THURSDAY, JULY 3RD, 2025, AND IT'S GOING TO SPREAD ALL ACROSS TOWN SQUARE FROM RUSTON AND FAMILY PARK UP TO MCPHERSON PARK. AND WE HAVE A GREAT SCHEDULE OF EVENTS WITHIN THE TIME FRAME OF 5 TO 11 P.M.
WITH OUR SPECTACULAR FIREWORKS SHOW STARTING AT 9:30.
WE HAVE SO MUCH GREAT ENTERTAINMENT COMING OUT.
SOME OF THE ONES YOU'VE SEEN FROM PAST YEARS, LIKE OUR AWESOME COMMUNITY BAND, AS WELL AS SOME NEW ENTERTAINMENT LIKE OUR NORTH TEXAS PERFORMING ARTS OF SOUTHLAKE AND OUR SCHOOL OF ROCK.
WE ALSO HAVE NEW INFLATABLE GAMES LIKE SKEE BALL, WHICH A LOT OF STAFF HAVE BEEN REALLY EXCITED FOR.
WE ALSO HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD OPTIONS WITH GREAT FOOD TRUCKS WITHIN THE AREA FEATURING BARBECUE, TACOS, CORN DOGS, ICE CREAM, SNO CONES AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO GRAB A COLD BEVERAGE AT OUR BEER AND WINE TENT RAN BY POSTINO.
IF YOU DECIDE TO DRIVE TO THE EVENT AND YOU NEED TO PARK WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT YOU CAN FIND PARKING AT OUR GRANITE OFFICE PARKING GARAGE, AS WELL AS THE EAST PARKING GARAGE AND SURFACE LOTS AROUND THE AREA.
IF YOU'RE A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT FINDING PARKING THOUGH, DON'T WORRY.
THESE ARE SOME OF OUR AMAZING SPONSORS THAT WE HAVE THIS YEAR.
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE SOME NEW ONES AS WELL AS RETURNING FACES COME OUT TO THE EVENT WITH BOOTHS, WITH FREE ACTIVITIES AND JUST A GREAT WAY TO GET THEIR FACES OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.
THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR PARTNERING WITH TEXAS CAPITAL AS OUR PRESENTING SPONSOR.
YOU CAN FIND THEM AT THE EVENT AT THEIR BOOTH SPACE WHERE THEY'LL HAVE WATER TO GIVE OUT, AS WELL AS SOME GREAT MARKETING ITEMS. MOST OF OUR SPONSORS WILL HAVE A BOOTH, SO FEEL FREE TO STOP BY AND SAY HI WHILE YOU WALK AROUND THE FOOTPRINT.
YOU CAN CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION, INCLUDING PERFORMANCE TIMES, PARKING INFORMATION, HOTEL STAY INFORMATION AND EVEN VIEWING TIPS FOR OUR RECOMMENDED SPOTS TO WATCH THE FIREWORKS.
THAT'S SOME OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR THIS YEAR.
I WILL NOW OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.
I'M EXCITED. IT'S ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY. JUST OVER TWO WEEKS AWAY.
IT'S MY FAVORITE EVENT. YOU KNOW, I LOVE THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING IN NOVEMBER, AND THAT'S SPECIAL AND SPECIAL TIME OF THE YEAR, BUT THIS IS THE BIG ONE. SO MY FAMILY HAS ENJOYED THIS IN OUR 21 YEARS LIVING IN SOUTHLAKE.
SO THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. SIX MONTHS IN THE PLANNING, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE SPONSORS, YOU KNOW, FOR ALWAYS HELPING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, INCLUDING TEXAS CAPITAL BANK, WHO'S FAIRLY NEW TO SOUTHLAKE, BUT THEY JUMPED IN BOTH LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR TO BE THE LEAD SPONSOR.
YEAH. I JUST I WORK WITH YOU GUYS, OBVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER EVENT, AND I JUST KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORK WITH THE REST OF YOUR TEAM, DANIEL AND LAUREN. AND I'M JUST EVERY YEAR, I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
AND I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU IN ADVANCE AND JUST THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO.
IT IS MY FAVORITE. JUST LIKE YOU, MAYOR IT'S MY FAVORITE EVENT OF THE YEAR.
AND JUST FOR A FEW HOURS, WE'RE ABLE TO CELEBRATE BEING AMERICANS AND OUR COUNTRY'S BIRTHDAY.
[00:35:06]
BUT IT'S NOT LOST ON ME. I SEE SEVERAL OF THE FOLKS EVERY SINGLE YEAR ARE COMING BACK TO SPONSOR THIS EVENT, AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. WELL SAID. ALL RIGHT.[CONSENT AGENDA]

NEXT UP IS ITEM NUMBER FIVE. THE PUBLIC FORUM.
[5. Public Forum]
THE PUBLIC FORUM ALLOWS ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO BRING FORWARD ITEMS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED ON OUR REGULAR AGENDA.AND I SEE WE HAVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS FOR THIS EVENING.
SO WE'LL START WITH THOSE. AND THEN IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON AN ITEM THAT'S NOT ON OUR AGENDA, WE'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK.
BUT THE FIRST FORM I HAVE IS FROM CONNIE COOLEY, 603 VICKSBURG COURT, WHO WAS GOING TO SPEAK ON THE SOUTHLAKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S UPCOMING TOWN HALL EXHIBIT. GREAT TO SEE YOU, NEIGHBOR.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MCCASKILL, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER , THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE.
MY NAME IS CONNIE COOLEY. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTHLAKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
IT WILL RUN THROUGH AUGUST 23RD, AND IT'S FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS IS OUR 11TH ANNUAL EXHIBIT AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE.
WE'VE TAKEN A DIFFERENT ROUTE. THE EXHIBIT IS MODERN SOUTHLAKE HOW WE GOT HERE, AND WE'RE TAKING A LOOK, DECADE BY DECADE AT THE LEADERS, RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BROUGHT SOUTHLAKE FROM ORIGINALLY 1.62MI² AND 200 RESIDENTS TO 32,000 IN OUR 22 SQUARE MILE CIRCUMFERENCE.
IN THE EXHIBIT, WE HAVE INTERVIEWED PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE, LEADERS WHO LIVED HERE, MAYORS OVER THE PAST, INCLUDING MAYOR MCCASKILL, WHO WAS VERY GENEROUS WITH HIS TIME.
WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT CITY MANAGER S WHO I THINK ARE THE UNDERAPPRECIATED LEADERS IN TOWNS.
WE INVITE EVERYONE TO ESCAPE THE HEAT THIS SUMMER.
BRING YOUR FAMILY OUT OF TOWN GUESTS TO TOWN HALL TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE INVITE EVERYONE TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE, SOUTHLAKEHISTORY.ORG FOR THE HOURS AND TO SEE AN UPDATED TIMELINE AS WELL AS ALL OUR PAST EXHIBITS.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT OUR EXHIBIT.
THANK YOU. THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT FORM IS FROM COLLEEN GHOLSTON AT 708 BRYSON WAY HERE IN SOUTHLAKE. WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.
GOOD EVENING. I WANTED TO WISH EVERYONE HAPPY JUNETEENTH.
I MEANT TO SPEAK TO YOU SOONER, BECAUSE LAST YEAR YOU DID READ SOMETHING ABOUT IT, ABOUT JUNETEENTH, THAT IT'S A TEXAS HOLIDAY FIRST AND THEN A NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
[00:40:02]
DAY. IT COMMEMORATES THE DAY IN 1865, WHEN ENSLAVED PEOPLE IN GALVESTON, TEXAS, FINALLY LEARNED THEY WERE FREE.TWO AND A HALF YEARS AFTER THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION WAS SIGNED BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
AND IT IS NOW A NATIONAL HOLIDAY. IT'S BEEN A TEXAS HOLIDAY SINCE.
NOT, YEAH, SINCE 1980, I BELIEVE. I DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS WITH ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T GO HOME BETWEEN MEETINGS AND GET MY NOTES, BUT I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD COMMEMORATE IT. I WISH WE WOULD FLY THE OFFICIAL JUNETEENTH FLAG.
MISS OPAL LEE, WHO IS 98 YEARS OLD, AND SHE WALKED TWO AND A HALF MILES EVERY YEAR TO COMMEMORATE THE TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATE THAT GALVESTONIANS WEREN'T FREE. AND IT SUGGESTED ALSO TO FLY THAT FLAG UNTIL THE JULY 4TH.
JUST A SYMBOLIC THAT IT TOOK OVER 100 YEARS. AND THEN TWO AND A HALF YEARS AFTER THE CIVIL WAR FOR ALL AMERICANS TO BE FREE. AND I THINK THAT'S REAL IMPORTANT.
WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET THAT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I'M FROM GALVESTON COUNTY, GREW UP DOING THAT, GREW UP IN SEGREGATED SCHOOLS, AND I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO OUR HISTORY AND OUR PEOPLE.
ALSO. OKAY. HAPPY PRIDE MONTH. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
YOU DON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU'VE LIVED IT. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FRIGHTENING IT CAN BE AND HOW UNPOPULAR AND UNLIKED YOU CAN BE IF YOU'RE LGBTQ OR IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE THAT IS, AND YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN SOUTHLAKE SAY TERRIBLE THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND I THINK YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP IT.

A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A MASS GATHERING FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE CELEBRATION TO BE HELD IN SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE.DIRECTOR KILLOUGH . THANK YOU, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL.
[00:50:06]
FOR THE SOUTHLAKE HISPANIC HERITAGE CELEBRATION TO BE HELD HERE IN SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE.THE EVENT IS GENERALLY LOCATED IN RUSTIN AND FAMILY PARK AND LOCATED BETWEEN SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND NORTH CARROLL AVENUE.
MAIN STREET AND CENTRAL AVENUE. THIS IS OVERALL AREA THAT IS IMPACTED BY THE FOOTPRINT OF THE EVENT. AND THE FUTURE LAND USE ON THIS IS TOWN CENTER, AND THE CURRENT ZONING IS DT DOWNTOWN DISTRICT.
THIS IS THE SITE MAP AND EXHIBIT. THE AREAS IN THE LAVENDER IDENTIFIED AS NUMBER EIGHT ARE WHERE BARRICADES WOULD BE PLACED TO CLOSE OFF THE STREETS.
IT WOULD BE CLOSED OFF ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAIN STREET AND AT THE ALLEYWAYS THAT ENTER ONTO STATE STREET AND GRAND AVENUE, AS WELL AS AT THE INTERSECTION OF STATE STREET AND GRAND AVENUE AT SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.
THIS IS A ONE DAY EVENT PROPOSED FOR SEPTEMBER 27TH.
THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE ALTERNATE BAD WEATHER DAYS OF SEPTEMBER 20TH AND OCTOBER 4TH INCLUDED IN THEIR NARRATIVE FOR THE PROJECT. THE OVERALL SETUP TIME IS PLANNED FOR 11 A.M.
TO 1 P.M. THE EVENT WOULD START AT ONE AND RUN UNTIL 7:00 P.M.
CLEANUP WOULD WOULD OCCUR BETWEEN 7 AND 9 P.M..
THE APPLICANT IS EXPECTING ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 5000 ATTENDEES.
THERE WILL BE VENDOR AREAS AS IDENTIFIED ON THE MAP, A KID ZONE AND PERFORMANCES WITHIN THE EVENT.
THERE WOULD BE A POLICE PRESENCE DURING THE EVENT, WHICH THEY'VE INDICATED THEY WOULD USE SOUTHLAKE PD OFF DUTY TO COVER THAT. THEY'VE ALSO INDICATED TRASH SERVICE AND DUMPSTER SERVICE WOULD BE PROVIDED THROUGH OUR VENDOR CWD.
THIS IS A DETAILED SCHEDULE OF THE EVENT AND TIMELINE.
AND THIS IS AN EXHIBIT IDENTIFYING SIGNAGE THAT THEY WOULD PUT UP TO HELP DIRECT ATTENDEES TO AND WITHIN THE EVENT AREA. WE HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES FROM OUR NOTIFICATION AREA. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL FOUR ZERO.
AND AT THE TIME, GOING TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THEY WERE NOT CLEAR WHETHER THEY HAD SECURED PERMISSION FROM KITE TO BARRICADE OFF THE ALLEYWAYS AND USE THOSE FOR THE RESTROOM FACILITIES, AS WELL AS TO PREVENT TRAFFIC FROM GETTING DEAD ENDED INTO THAT. AND SO THEY HAD RECOMMENDED THAT THEY TRY TO ADDRESS KITE AND HAVE AN ALTERNATE EXHIBIT WHICH IS BEING PRESENTED TO YOU THIS EVENING AS WHAT THEIR PRIMARY PREFERRED LAYOUT WOULD BE OF THE EVENT AND WHERE THE BARRICADES WOULD BE PLACED.
IT IS A ONE TIME EVENT. THEY HAVE NOT ASKED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AND IN PARTICULAR, GIVEN THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR OF THIS EVENT. WITH THAT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
THANK YOU, DIRECTOR KILLOUGH . ANY QUESTIONS FOR DENNIS AT THIS TIME? YES. MICROPHONE. SORRY ABOUT THAT. WRONG BUTTON.
DID I HEAR YOU RIGHT? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HEARD CORRECTLY. SO THE EVENT DATE SEPTEMBER 27TH.
THAT IS. THAT IS CORRECT. THAT IS THEIR OTHER, OTHER ALTERNATIVE DATE? YES. JUST SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE HARD TO GUESS THAT ONE, YOU KNOW.
BUT ANYWAY. ALL RIGHT. YES. MAYBE WE CAN ASK THE APPLICANT ABOUT
[00:55:03]
THAT. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH ? ALL RIGHT. DO THEY HAVE. DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION? IS THE APPLICANT HERE OR WHO'S GOING TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. COME ON DOWN. IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU'RE FREE TO USE THIS POWERPOINT OR IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PRESENTATION, JUST GO AHEAD. BUT NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. PERFECT. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS VIRI BARKER AND THE ADDRESS OF OUR ORGANIZATION IS AT 1360 NORTH KIMBALL AVE IN SUITE 140 IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR MCCASKILL AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT'S UP HERE IN THE AUDIENCE FOR HAVING US HERE.FOR THE AS FAR AS THE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FOR THE WEATHER, THAT'S A REALLY VALID QUESTION.
AND SO WE'RE DEFINITELY ABLE TO MOVE IT TO A DIFFERENT TIME FRAME IF WE CAN'T PREDICT THE WEATHER.
SO DEFINITELY DO THAT. AND THEN AS FAR AS KITE REALTY GOES, WE HAVE RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM KITE REALTY TO USE THAT PROPERTY AND TO USE THE BARRICADES AND PLACE THE PORTA POTTIES THERE. AND HAVE ALSO AGREED WITH THEM TO HAVE EVERYTHING POWER WASHED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE EVENT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS REINSTATED EXACTLY AS IT AS IT WAS BEFOREHAND. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NOW, ON THE ATTENDANCE SIDE WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS, I WAS LIKE, I HOPE YOU GET 3 TO 5000 PEOPLE.
BUT ON THE FIRST TIME MAYBE. MAYBE NOT. DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU NEED THAT, THAT SAME FOOTPRINT? IS THAT WHAT ARE THE LOGISTICS ON? YOU KNOW, DO YOU REALLY NEED THAT MUCH SPACE? BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT CLOSING A LOT OF STREETS HERE.
YEAH. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY CONTACTED SEVERAL SPONSORS AND WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK, AS WELL AS DIFFERENT CHAMBERS OF DIFFERENT CITIES, AND HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF REALLY GOOD RECEPTION AS FAR AS LIKE PEOPLE WANTING TO ATTEND.
OUR ORGANIZATION IS A 501C3 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, AND SO OUR WHOLE GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO JUST CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE CELEBRATION FOR CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE CULTURE AND TO BE ABLE TO BRING THAT TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO BRING, OF COURSE, MORE PEOPLE TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TO AS TOURISM AND TO HELP BOOST BUSINESSES AS WELL.
ALL OF US ARE PROPERTY OWNERS AND BUSINESS OWNERS HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.
OUR KIDS HAVE ATTENDED CARROLL AND CLARIDEN, AND SO WE'RE ALL JUST COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WANT TO BE ABLE TO HOST THIS EVENT YEARLY TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND JUST THE CULTURE IN GENERAL.
AND IF YOU ALL HAD EVER CONSIDERED. BECAUSE WHEN I THINK ABOUT SOME OF THESE FESTIVALS, I THINK ABOUT CERTAINLY AMERICAN HISTORY, BUT TEXAS HISTORY AND HOW THAT KIND OF FOLDS WITHIN WHO WE ARE AS A COMMUNITY.
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED FIESTA INSTEAD OF THIS MONTH OR OR WHY THIS DATE? YEAH. SO ACTUALLY WE'VE CREATED A WEBSITE AND A FACEBOOK PAGE AND IT DOES SAY FIESTA INSTEAD OF CELEBRATION.
BUT THE WAY THAT WE WE CAME UP WITH THIS DATE IS NATIONALLY, IT'S RECOGNIZED AS HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. AND SO WE WERE THINKING EITHER THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER OR THE END OF SEPTEMBER, AND IT JUST WORKED OUT WITH OUR GROUP THAT EVERYONE WAS GOING TO BE MORE AVAILABLE TOWARDS THE END OF SEPTEMBER. WELL, OKAY .
SO GOING BACK TO THAT SO SEPTEMBER, SO SEPTEMBER 27TH.
ALL RIGHT. SO I'M JUST AND AGAIN, I'M JUST TRYING TO BE SPECIFIC ON THIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE HANDCUFFED TO A PARTICULAR TIME PERIOD IF THE WEATHER TURNS BAD, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NO WAY TO PREDICT THE WEATHER THAT FAR AHEAD OF TIME FOR TO HAVE SEPTEMBER 20TH AS YOUR ONE OF YOUR WEATHER DATES, BECAUSE THAT'S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SO WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER TO HAVE IT SET FOR SEPTEMBER 20TH? AND THEN YOU HAVE SEPTEMBER 27TH AND OCTOBER 4TH AS YOUR BAD WEATHER DAYS? WELL, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, BUT SOME OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS WERE GOING TO BE OUT OF TOWN ON THE 20TH.
AND SO THAT'S WHY WE KIND OF HAD THE 27TH AS OUR IDEAL TIME.
BUT THAT BEING SAID, WE ARE STILL OPEN TO MAYBE EVEN MOVING IT TO OCTOBER.
AND SO WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AN EVENT TO CELEBRATE.
THE DATE IN SPECIFIC ISN'T NECESSARILY SUPER IMPORTANT.
WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO STAY WITHIN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER OR AROUND.
MAYOR OR CITY MANAGER I MEAN, DON'T WE NEED TO WITH APPROVING THIS HAVE A DATE.
SO WE'VE GOT TO DECIDE ON A DATE. YEAH. WELL THE 27TH WOULD BE .
YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT WAS KIND OF MY POINT ON THAT.
[01:00:03]
THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD WAS, AGAIN, ON THE SIZE.SO I'VE BEEN TO A PAST EVENT THERE, AND IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
I'M NOT SURE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ATTENDEES THAT WE HAD BACK THEN.
SO I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS AS TO LIKE HOW YOU PREDICT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO END UP AT THAT.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS LIKE, HAS THERE BEEN ANYTHING DONE YET TO SHOW THAT THERE'S GONNA BE THAT MANY PEOPLE? SO WE HAVE SOME SORT OF REASON TO, YOU KNOW, SHUT OFF ALL THOSE STREETS OR WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
YEAH. OR IF YOU COULD ELABORATE. THAT'S A REALLY GREAT QUESTION.
SO ORIGINALLY, THE SOUTHLAKE HISPANIC HERITAGE WAS CELEBRATED BY SOMOS, WHICH WAS A DIFFERENT ORGANIZATION, AND WE BASICALLY WENT BASED OFF OF WHAT THEIR ATTENDANCE WAS, WAS AROUND 3 TO 5000.
AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO ADJUST THAT IN THE FUTURE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. WE MAY CALL YOU BACK UP IN JUST A MINUTE. THANK YOU. ITEM 6 B REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO I'LL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 6 B. IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK REGARDING ITEM 6 B IN THIS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 6B COUNCIL.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR KILLOUGH OR THE APPLICANT OR ANY DISCUSSION ON THE APPLICATION FOR AN SUP? I THINK WE'RE READY FOR MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMSON WITH A MOTION. YEAH, JUST TO MAKE SURE I'VE GOT EVERYTHING TIGHT THEN. SO EVENT DATE 9-27, ALTERNATE BAD WEATHER DATE 10-4. WE'LL GO WITH THAT.
YES, SIR. AND I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THE FOOTPRINT. I THINK IT'S A ONE YEAR APPLICATION.
I LIKE IT, ALL RIGHT. I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE FOOTPRINT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED.
SO I DON'T KNOW THE FOOTPRINT BOTHERS ME A LITTLE BIT.
YEAH. I'D RATHER JUST BE OVERLY PREPARED. I MEAN, IF YOU GET 3000, THEN YOU'RE GOING OH, WE'VE GOT THE WRONG FOOTPRINT HERE, AND WE HAVE TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET INTO AN AREA WITH A LOT OF PEDESTRIANS. SO I'M COMFORTABLE WITH A ONE DAY EVENT FOR ONE YEAR.
LET'S SEE IF THEY GET 3 TO 5000. AND IF THEY DON'T NEED THAT THEN WE CAN ADDRESS IT NEXT TIME.
THEY'D HAVE TO GET RID OF, LIKE, MOST OF THEIR VENDORS.
SO I THINK IT'S THE FIRST TIME LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
AND BETTER TO BE, AS YOU SAID, OVERLY PREPARED, OVERLY SAFE THAN NOT.
BUT TO YOUR POINT, COUNCIL MEMBER SCHARLI, IT IS TOUGH BECAUSE STREETS ARE GETTING SHUT DOWN.
SO I GUESS IT'S A TEST YEAR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
BUT IT DID SOUND LIKE KITE REALTY WAS ON BOARD WITH IT AS WELL.
AS I SIT HERE NOW, BUT THE 3000 TO 5000, IS THAT WHAT SOMOS HAD PREVIOUSLY, OR DO WE KNOW THAT ACTUAL NUMBER? ROUGHLY? I THINK WE'LL ASK DANIEL CORTEZ IF HE HAS INFORMATION FROM PRIOR EVENTS.
OUR OWN ESTIMATE WAS A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THAT, CLOSER TO T HE MOST RECENT EVENT BEING AROUND A THOUSAND PEOPLE TO THE ONE THE YEAR PRIOR, BEING CLOSER TO 1500 TO 2000. AND TO KIND OF ADDRESS FURTHER THE QUESTION IN TERMS OF THE ATTENDANCE CAPACITY, THE WAY YOU PLAN A LOT OF THESE EVENTS IS YOU WANT TO END UP HAVING YOUR SPACE FIRST, RIGHT? AND SO WHAT YOU END UP DOING WITH THAT SPACE IS BASED ON ALL THE VENDORS, FOOD VENDORS, RETAIL VENDORS THAT YOU HAVE IN THAT SPACE.
YOU COULD EFFECTIVELY PLAN TO HAVE UP TO AN ATTENDANCE OF 3 TO 5000, WHICH IF IT ENDS UP BEING LOWER, NOT THE IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCE FOR THE EVENT ORGANIZERS, BUT YOU WANT TO HAVE THE SPACE AT LEAST PREPARED TO HANDLE THAT AMOUNT.
EVEN IF THEY ONLY GET 1500, YOU CAN'T PUT 1500 AROUND THE POND.
I DON'T DISAGREE, I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT THE NUMBER WAS. THIS WAS THAT WAS JUST A QUESTION.
[01:05:05]
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR CORTEZ OR ANYONE ELSE ON STAFF OR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT, DANIEL, THANK YOU. I ALSO NOTE THAT WE DID SEND OUT PUBLIC NOTICES, PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES, AND THERE WERE NO RESPONSES IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION.BUT WE DO HAVE THOSE AS PART OF THE RECORD. SO, MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMSON, I THINK WE'RE READY FOR A MOTION ON 6B. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6 B RESOLUTION NUMBER 25-021 ZA25-0025.
SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A MASS GATHERING FOR THE HISPANIC HERITAGE CELEBRATION TO BE HELD IN A PORTION OF SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE, GENERALLY LOCATED BETWEEN EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, NORTH CARROLL AVENUE, MAIN STREET, AND CENTRAL AVENUE.

I'LL NOTE, AS I THINK WE DO EVERY YEAR WHEN WE MAKE THESE APPOINTMENTS, WE HAVE A A FULL BINDER OF GREAT PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS WHO ARE JUST LIKE US, WHO ARE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND DONATE THEIR INTELLECT AND EXPERTISE TO THE CITY, AGAIN IN A VOLUNTEER ROLE. AND IT'S REALLY HEARTWARMING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WILLING TO DO IT.AND WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR IT. I STARTED OFF MANY YEARS AGO APPLYING TO GET ON ZBA, AND YOU KNOW, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE FIRST PASS. I THINK I GOT ON THE SECOND PASS TOOK ME ONE OR 2 OR 3 TIMES TO GET ON TO P AND Z.
BUT I'LL SAY THIS TO EVERYONE, AND I SAY IT EVERY YEAR.
IF YOU STICK WITH US, WE USUALLY FIND A SPOT FOR THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY.
IT MAY BE IN THE SECOND TIME THAT YOU'RE UP, BUT PLEASE STICK WITH US.
IT'S THESE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS REALLY DO SO MUCH HEAVY LIFTING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, AND ARE SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHY THE CITY LOOKS AND FEELS AND OPERATES THE WAY IT DOES. SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO'S APPLIED AND I THINK I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM KATHY TALLEY OR NO, MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMSON IS GOING TO WALK US THROUGH THAT ONE.
SHOULD I DO THIS AS A MOTION SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH THE ENTIRE PIECE AGAIN? YEAH. DOES COUNCIL NEED, LIKE, A PRACTICE RUN THROUGH THE NAMES BEFORE WE PUT IT INTO A MOTION? I THINK IT'S THE LAST ITEM. SO WE'RE READY. PROBABLY JUST FOR A MOTION. BUT I'LL ALSO ADD, YOU KNOW, ONE THAT'S NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.
THE NEW ADVISORY COMMISSION ON PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MY WIFE LAURA AND I CAME UP WITH, ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW WHO ARE INVOLVED IN SPECIAL OLYMPICS AND MIRACLE LEAGUE AND THROUGH CISD'S SPECIAL PROGRAMS. AND IT'S REALLY I LOOK AT IT AS A BLANK CANVAS, WHATEVER THIS COMMITTEE COMES UP WITH WILL BE THE DIRECTION THEY GO.
AND THERE'S SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES IN TALKING WITH CISD.
[01:35:10]
ALSO. MAYORS IN KELLER AND COLLEYVILLE AND NORTH RICHLAND HILLS AND TROPHY CLUB ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING US GET THIS OFF THE GROUND.AND THEN THEY WANT TO SET UP THEIR OWN COMMITTEES AND THEN WORK TOGETHER AS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT.
SO THIS REALLY THE TEMPLATE IS OUR SENIOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WHICH HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SO MANY YEARS, SO SUCCESSFUL. JUST A WONDERFUL STORY OF HOW THAT REALLY PROVIDES SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZENS.
SO THAT WAS KIND OF THE IDEA IN MY MIND FOR, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT, WE'VE BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.
LET'S, USE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO WITH THAT COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT ANY OF THE COMMITTEES AND BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT? NO, I'LL JUST ADD COUNCIL MEMBER SCHARLI AND I WE ESPECIALLY FOR THE NEW COMMISSION, WE GOT TO MEET AND TALK WITH ALL OF THOSE APPLICANTS AND JUST JUST FOR ALL OF THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AS YOU SAID A MOMENT AGO, IT'S JUST SO WONDERFUL TO SEE HOW MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY WANT TO COME AND GIVE BACK AND GIVE THEIR TIME AND TALENTS.
AND IT'S A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE. AND I THINK THE PROCESS HAS WORKED WELL, AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THESE FOLKS ON THESE YOUR NEW COMMISSION, YOU AND THE MISSUS NEW COMMISSION. AND ALSO WE HAVE SOME RETURNING AND NEW FOLKS ON THE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AS WELL.
SO IT'S JUST GREAT TO HAVE EVERYBODY WANTING TO GIVE THEIR TIME.
