OUR FIRST ITEM OF BUSINESS TONIGHT ON OUR WORK SESSION IS TO HONOR AND RECOGNIZE THE 2025 SOUTHLAKE CARROLL DRAGONS FOOTBALL TEAM.

[3. Honors & Recognition: Proclamation honoring the Southlake Carroll Dragon Football ]

I RECALL BACK IN JULY, I VISITED WITH COACH DODGE TO DO A SOUTH LAKE CITY SPOTLIGHT VIDEO THAT WE DO EVERY, EVERY YEAR. AND WE HAVE THESE WEEKLY VIDEOS. AND THIS VIDEO WAS ABOUT THE 2025 TEAM AND SEASON AND THE EXCITEMENT THAT WAS IN THE AIR, THE NUMBER ONE RANKING IN THE STATE. AND YOU KNOW, WHAT COULD HAPPEN.

AND YOU KNOW, I'M THE PROUD DAD OF 2 DRAGONS FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

MY OLDEST SON WAS ON COACH DODGE'S 1ST TEAM BACK AS THE COACH.

AND MY OTHER SON JUST GRADUATED IN MAY. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT GOES INTO BUILDING THE PROGRAM EVERY YEAR, A LITTLE BIT AS A PARENT, AND I KNOW ALL THE WORK THAT GOES IN WITH THE COACHES AND THE STAFF AND THE PLAYERS.

ALL THE HOURS, ALL THE PREP. IT'S NOT EASY TO DO WHAT YOU ALL DO AND YOU HANDLE IT WITH CLASS.

AND SO THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, HAVING THAT NUMBER 1 RANKING WHEN SPEAKING WITH COACH DODGE, YOU KNOW, HE EMBRACED IT. AND I KNOW THE TEAM EMBRACED IT. YOU KNOW, HAVING A BULL'S EYE ON YOU KNOW, COACH DODGE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE EXPECT THAT WE EXPECT TO BE THE BEST.

THAT'S THE STANDARD. THE STANDARD IS THE STANDARD.

AND SO THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. AND THE TEAM EMBRACED THAT.

AND THE WAY YOU GUYS HANDLED BUSINESS ALL YEAR.

THERE WERE SOME IMPRESSIVE WINS ALONG THE WAY.

IT WAS A GREAT SEASON A LOT OF FUN. AND THE WAY YOU HANDLED EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE PRESSURE OF BEING THE NUMBER 1 TEAM IN THE STATE.

IT WAS 1ST CLASS, AND WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS.

THAT SEMIFINAL GAME WAS INCREDIBLE. IT'S ONE OF THOSE GAMES THAT I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A FEW GAMES THAT THE DRAGONS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH OVER THE LAST 20 OR 30 YEARS THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TALK ABOUT EVEN TO THIS DAY.

AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THOSE GAMES THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU ALL DO TO REPRESENT SOUTHLAKE.

WE APPRECIATE HOW YOU GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY.

I KNOW YOU'RE VERY BUSY, BUT YOU STILL FIND TIME TO VOLUNTEER AND HELP OTHERS, WHETHER THEY'RE LITTLE KIDS OR SENIOR CITIZENS AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN.

SO THE WAY YOU REPRESENT THIS COMMUNITY AS A PROGRAM AND AS PLAYERS AND AS STUDENTS, WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND HOW YOU REPRESENT US.

THE SAME GOES FOR OUR COACHES. WE APPRECIATE HOW YOU POUR INTO THESE KIDS, THESE YOUNG MEN, THE ROLE MODELS YOU BECOME FOR THEM. I KNOW MY SONS USE SOME OF Y'ALL'S QUOTES FROM COACHING IN THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS, AND IT WORKED. SO WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO WITH OUR WITH OUR SONS AND HOW YOU ALL HELP LEAD THEM IN REPRESENTING THIS COMMUNITY.

IT'S A TEAM EFFORT. AND YOU GUYS EXEMPLIFY THAT EACH AND EVERY DAY.

SO I KNOW WE HAVE A BUNCH OF THE COACHES HERE.

IS THERE SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO SAY A FEW WORDS ON BEHALF OF THE TEAM.

OF COURSE, IT'S OPEN TO MORE THAN ONE, BUT WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER.

SOMEBODY'S GOT TO GO FIRST. I'LL BE VERY, VERY FIRST OF ALL, WHAT AN HONOR IT IS.

[00:05:06]

THIS IS ABOUT THE GUYS SITTING IN THE CHAIRS, AND THIS IS ABOUT RECOGNIZING THE WORK THAT THEY DO.

I'M NOT SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH GOES INTO HAVING A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM.

BUT IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MEN SITTING IN THESE IN THESE CHAIRS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE GETTING HONORED, BUT ON BEHALF OF THE COACHING STAFF AS WELL, I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS HOW PROUD WE ARE OF WHAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED THIS YEAR.

AND HOPEFULLY AT THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, WE'LL BE GETTING RECOGNIZED FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

WELL SAID. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] I SEE THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD AND OUR SUPERINTENDENT.

GUYS, DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? GUESS HOW MUCH? COME ON UP, DOCTOR GLENN. GOOD TO SEE YOU. HAPPY NEW YEAR. NOW, YOU KNOW, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, OUR ADMINISTRATION WE ARE SUPER PROUD OF OF EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM.

YOU REPRESENT US WELL. HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO NOT ONLY GET TO VISIT WITH YOU GUYS ON THE SIDELINES AND IN THE HALLWAYS, BUT YOUR OF YOUR MEN OF CHARACTER, AND AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE 25 YEARS FROM NOW WILL NOT BE ABOUT WINS AND LOSSES.

IT'LL BE ABOUT THOSE LESSONS OF CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY THAT WERE POURED INTO YOU BY YOUR PARENTS, BY YOUR COACHES. THAT'S WHAT WILL CARRY THE DAY.

AND I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THIS SEASON.

I KNOW THAT OUR BOARD PRESIDENT COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THE SEASON YOU GUYS PUT FORTH.

DEFINITELY A TOUGH, TOUGH LOSS THERE AT THE END.

I KNOW THAT THE UNDERCLASSMEN I SPOKE TO, SEVERAL OF YOU JUST HATED IT FOR THE SENIORS BECAUSE YOU CARRIED THE WEIGHT OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

BUT KNOW THIS. YOU MADE US PROUD. AND THE STANDARD IS THE STANDARD.

AND IN CARROLL, WE PROTECT THE TRADITION. AND NEXT YEAR, WE'LL CONTINUE TO PROTECT THAT TRADITION. THANK YOU.

SENIORS WHO GAVE FOUR YEARS BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS.

WE APPRECIATE YOU. PARENTS CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH.

Y'ALL TRAVEL TO FAR OUT TO MIDLAND. YOU TRAVEL HERE.

CLOSE. WE KNOW THAT THAT IT TAKES A LOT. YOU GIVE A LOT OF YOUR TIME AND TALENT.

WE APPRECIATE YOU FOR THAT. BUT YOUNG MEN, WE WISH YOU WELL IN YOUR GRADUATING.

THE THE KIDS THAT ARE STAYING WE LOOK FORWARD TO GREAT THINGS.

WE GOT A GREAT COACHING STAFF BEHIND YOU TONIGHT.

THEY CARE DEEPLY ABOUT YOU, AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GREAT THINGS IN THE FUTURE.

GOD BLESS. THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN. ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE.

I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY. I KNOW YOU HAD A MEETING LAST NIGHT, SO THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR OUR MEETING. SO TONIGHT WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND OUR CITY COUNCIL FOR ALL OF YOU, THE COACHES AND PLAYERS AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE SOUTHLAKE CARROLL DRAGONS FOOTBALL PROGRAM. SO I'LL READ THAT PROCLAMATION. WE'LL HAND IT OFF TO THE COACHES.

WE HAVE CERTIFICATES FOR THE COACHES. THERE'S LESS COACHES THAN PLAYERS.

SO WE'LL GIVE THE COACHES THE CERTIFICATES. AND THEN IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND STICKING AROUND, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET A PICTURE OUT IN THE LOBBY THERE. IT'S A LITTLE CRAMPED IN HERE, SO WE'LL GO OUT IN THE LOBBY FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TAKE A PICTURE. WE'LL TRY TO SQUEEZE IN THERE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT. BUT IF YOU'LL BEAR WITH ME FOR A MOMENT WITH THE PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE. WHEREAS THE SOUTHLAKE CARROLL DRAGON FOOTBALL TEAM HAS BROUGHT PRIDE AND DISTINCTION TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND CARROLL ISD THROUGH AN EXCEPTIONAL 2025 FOOTBALL SEASON.

[00:10:01]

NOW THEREFORE, I MAYOR SHAWN MCCASKILL ON BEHALF OF OUR ENTIRE SOUTHLAKE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM JANUARY 6TH, 2026 AS SOUTHLAKE CARROLL DRAGONS FOOTBALL DAY.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TAKE A QUICK BREAK IN THE MEETING. WE'RE GOING TO HEAD OUT TO THE LOBBY AND WE'LL TRY TO GET A PICTURE. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS WORK SESSION ITEM NUMBER 4 WITH HONORS AND RECOGNITIONS FOR SOUTHLAKE CARROLL ISD STUDENT SAANVI GULLAPALLI'S.

[4. Honors & Recognition: Proclamation honoring Saanvi Gullapalli’s educational contributions]

BUT WHY DON'T YOU COME ON UP AND TELL US ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING? AND THEN WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION AND WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU. COME ON DOWN.

GREAT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND EVERYONE HERE TODAY.

I'M SAANVI GULLAPALLI. I'M 14 YEARS OLD AND I GO TO CARROLL MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SO 1ST, I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INVITING ME HERE AND HONORING ME WITH THIS PROCLAMATION.

IT TRULY MEANS A LOT, AND THIS RECOGNITION WILL ENCOURAGE ME TO WORK EVEN HARDER AND HOPEFULLY CONTINUE SERVING THIS COMMUNITY.

SO JUST TO TELL YOU A TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY JOURNEY, MY PASSION FOR FINANCE STARTED WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD.

I WAS INSPIRED BY MY DAD, WHO WAS AN INVESTOR FOR MANY YEARS.

SO I USED TO SIT NEXT TO HIM WHEN HE WAS READING THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND WATCHING CNBC, AND I WOULD ALWAYS BE INTERESTED IN WHAT HE WAS DOING.

AND THAT'S LIKE, THAT'S LIKE KIND OF WHERE IT STARTED. AND I STARTED LIKE LEARNING ALONGSIDE HIM. EVENTUALLY I OPENED MY OWN STOCK ACCOUNT AND STARTED INVESTING.

AND THEN EVER SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN EXPANDING MY KNOWLEDGE.

SO A FEW YEARS LATER, I WAS INVITED TO THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE BY CNBC JOURNALIST SCOTT WAPNER, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO TOUR THE EXCHANGE, MEET SEVERAL CEOS, FINANCIAL LEADERS AND INVESTMENT BANKERS AS WELL.

AND SO THAT EXPERIENCE WAS LIKE, IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE, LIKE ALL THAT, LIKE THE PLACE WHERE, LIKE THAT ENTIRE PLACE AND EVERYTHING. AND IT IT SHOWED ME HOW POWERFUL FINANCIAL EDUCATION CAN BE.

AND THEN AFTER THAT LAST YEAR, I DECIDED TO USE MY PASSION TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE.

AND LIKE WHEN I WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE, WHEN I WAS TALKING TO MY FRIENDS AND OTHER KIDS IN MY SCHOOL, I REALIZED THAT MANY OF THEM WERE INTERESTED IN THE STOCK MARKET AND INVESTING, BUT THERE WASN'T.

THERE WASN'T MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN REAL WORLD INVESTING CONCEPTS AT A YOUNG AGE.

SO THAT'S WHAT I DECIDED TO CHANGE, AND I WANTED TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE STUDENTS COULD LEARN FINANCE IN A SIMPLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE WAY.

SO LAST OCTOBER, I DID A 10 WEEK FINANCE PROGRAM AND I TAUGHT OVER 20 KIDS.

I FROM THE MONEY I MADE TO THIS CLASS FROM THOSE CLASSES, WHICH WAS ABOUT $3,000, I DONATED TO SALVATION ARMY.

TEACHING THOSE CLASSES REALLY INSPIRED ME, AND IT SHOWED ME HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE I CAN MAKE IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, THIS YEAR, I STARTED MY OWN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CALLED SAANVI FINANCE ACADEMY TO EXPAND THIS INITIATIVE ACROSS THE DFW AREA.

THIS FEBRUARY, I'M DOING ANOTHER PROGRAM HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, AS WELL AS OUR NEIGHBORING CITY FRISCO AND I'M ALSO WORKING ON WRITING A BEGINNER INVESTOR INVESTING BOOK SO THAT I CAN HELP MAKE FINANCIAL EDUCATION MORE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.

SO I'M REALLY THANKFUL TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE FOR SUPPORTING YOUTH LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION AND SERVICE.

AND ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BELIEVING IN YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE ME AND BEING PART OF MY JOURNEY.

I HOPE THAT I CAN CONTINUE SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND HELP INSPIRE MORE PEOPLE TO LEARN, AND THEN GIVE BACK AND ALSO DREAM BIG.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S AN HONOR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE BUSY IN 2026, BUT IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE AT YOUR AGE OR AT ANY AGE, BUT AT YOUR AGE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED AND AND THE EXPERTISE AND AND YOUR HEART FOR IT IS REALLY IT'S REALLY MOVING.

SO WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE.

I'M GOING TO READ THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE A COPY OF IT FOR YOU.

AND IF WE COULD GET A PICTURE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IS WELCOME TO COME DOWN AND BE IN THE PICTURE OR TAKE PICTURES OR BOTH.

BUT I'LL READ THE PROCLAMATION FIRST. WHEREAS THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE VALUES EDUCATION, LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE AS THE CORNERSTONES OF A THRIVING COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS SAANVI GULLAPALLI, A 14 YEAR OLD SOUTHLAKE RESIDENT, HAS DEMONSTRATED EXCEPTIONAL INITIATIVE AND COMMITMENT TO PROMOTING FINANCIAL LITERACY

[00:15:04]

AND WHEREAS, THROUGH HER EFFORTS, SAANVI HAS EMPOWERED HER PEERS WITH KNOWLEDGE OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, INVESTING AND DISCIPLINED DECISION MAKING SKILLS THAT WILL SERVE THEM THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES.

AND WHEREAS SAANVI EXEMPLIFIES THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE BY DONATING ALL PROCEEDS FROM HER CLASSES TOTALING OVER $3,000 TO THE SALVATION ARMY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON, DEMONSTRATING HER BELIEF THAT EDUCATION AND GENEROSITY GO HAND IN HAND.

AND WHEREAS HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAVE EARNED RECOGNITION BEYOND SOUTHLAKE, INCLUDING FEATURES IN THE SOUTHLAKE STYLE MAGAZINE AND CITY LIFESTYLE, AND AN INVITATION FROM CNBC SCOTT WAPNER TO VISIT THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, WHICH IS ON THE SCREEN.

WHEREAS SAANVI'S DEDICATION REFLECTS THE VALUES THAT MAKE SOUTHLAKE SPECIAL LEADERSHIP, RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY.

NOW, THEREFORE, I MAYOR SHAWN MCCASKILL ON BEHALF OF THE SOUTHLAKE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM JANUARY 6TH, 2026 AS SAANVI GULLAPALLI DAY HERE IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND I ENCOURAGE ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS TO JOIN US IN RECOGNIZING HER OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICE.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION. SO IF YOU WANT TO COME ON DOWN, WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE.

YEAH. ONE. TWO.

FAMILIES MINUS.

ONE. TWO. THREE. ONE. ONE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS WORK SESSION ITEM NUMBER 5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM FRAMEWORK.

[5. Capital Improvements Program Framework ]

AND ALSO OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, SHAREN JACKSON.

YES. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

FOLLOWING THE ADOPTION OF THE OPERATING BUDGET, STAFF QUICKLY LATE LAST YEAR TURNED OUR ATTENTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET ALONG WITH THE MULTI-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM.

WE WILL FILE THAT WITH YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON FEBRUARY 1ST.

BUT WE THOUGHT WE'D SPEND SOME TIME TONIGHT TALKING ABOUT THE FRAMEWORK THAT WE USE TO BUILD THE CIP AND TO SHOW YOU HOW THAT WHAT THAT FRAMEWORK IS RESULTING IN, AS WE FINALIZE AND REFINE THE PROGRAM THAT WE WILL FILE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN JUST A FEW WEEKS.

SO YOU WILL NOT BE SHOCKED TO SEE THAT WE BEGIN BY DISCUSSING AND FOCUSING ON STRATEGY.

WE WILL TALK ABOUT HOW WE MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS ALIGNED WITH ADOPTED STRATEGY, PLANS AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

AND WE ALWAYS WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS WHERE WE BEGIN.

WE BEGIN WITH THE COUNCIL ADOPTED STRATEGY AND THEN INCORPORATE POLICIES AND PRIORITIES THAT ARE THAT GROW OUT OF THIS STRATEGY MAP THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PLANS.

ADOPTED POLICIES LIKE FINANCIAL POLICIES, DEBT POLICIES, CIP GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

[00:20:04]

WE ALSO RELY ON STRONG, LONGSTANDING INTERNAL GOVERNANCE AND REVIEW PROCESSES THAT ENSURE THAT WE HAVE CONSISTENCY, THAT WE HAVE DISCIPLINE, AND ABOVE ALL, WE HAVE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THE PROPOSED CIP FLOWS FROM THIS ADOPTED DIRECTION.

AND AS WE HAVE MENTIONED, THE CIP IS BOTH A BUDGET, BUT IT'S ALSO A MULTI YEAR PLAN AND OUR WORK TO BUILD IT IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE CONSIDER A TRANSLATION EXERCISE. WE TAKE THE OUTCOMES IN THE STRATEGY MAP, THE DIRECTION AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS AND TECHNICAL STUDIES, FUNCTIONAL MASTER PLANS, THOSE ADOPTED FINANCIAL POLICIES I MENTIONED.

AND THEN WE TRANSLATE THEM INTO A SEQUENCED AND AFFORDABLE CAPITAL PROGRAM.

WE ALSO CONSIDER AND, YOU KNOW, PUT IN THE MIX PRIOR COUNCIL DISCUSSIONS, DIRECTIONS THAT WE'VE DIRECTION THAT WE'VE RECEIVED, COMMITMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, AND THOSE ARE ALSO CARRIED FORWARD TO ENSURE CONTINUITY AND FOLLOW THROUGH AS WE MOVE FROM ONE CIP CYCLE TO THE NEXT.

SO HOW DO PROJECTS ENTER THE CIP? WE BEGAN WITH AN INTERNAL DEPARTMENT LED PROCESS THAT CONSIDERS ASSET CONDITION, SERVICE LEVEL EXPECTATIONS. ARE THERE ANY REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OR NEEDS THAT HAVE TO BE MET, AND ARE THERE ADDITIONAL STRATEGIC OUTCOMES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN THOSE POLICY DOCUMENTS I MENTIONED.

WE RELY ON THOSE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS, TECHNICAL STUDIES, ANY DATA THAT WE HAVE FROM OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. AND THEN WE ALSO LIKE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A HEALTHY BALANCE BETWEEN PROJECTS THAT ARE FOCUSED ON MAINTENANCE OF THESE ASSETS, IF NECESSARY, RENEWAL OF ASSETS, IF THERE'S ANY ENHANCEMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED THROUGH NEW PROJECTS OR NEW CAPACITY.

WE THEN WORK FROM THAT IDENTIFICATION STANDARD TO EVALUATE PROJECTS ON STANDARDIZED CRITERIA.

SO PROJECTS ARE THEN SCORED INTERNALLY BASED ON ALIGNMENT WITH THE STRATEGY.

IS THERE A RISK ASSOCIATED WITH NOT DOING THE PROJECT? DOES IT POSE A LONG TERM ISSUE FOR THE CITY IF WE DELAY OR DEFER? WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IMPACTS ARE WE EXPERIENCING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THE THE PROPOSED PROJECTS? ARE THERE INTERDEPENDENCIES THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER? SO THIS ALL GOES INTO A PROCESS THAT PRODUCES A RANKED AND DEFENSIBLE PROJECT LIST BY CATEGORY. AND IT HELPS US INFORM HOW WE'RE GOING TO SEQUENCE PROJECTS, HOW WE'RE GOING TO OVERLAY THEM WITH AVAILABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FUNDING DECISIONS AT THE ENTERPRISE LEVEL. AND WITH THAT, I WILL TURN THINGS OVER TO CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER SHAREN JACKSON.

SHE'S GOING TO DISCUSS THE FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK.

CRITICAL PART OF THE CIP. WE RELY ON VERY, VERY VARIOUS FACTORS, INCLUDING INDUSTRY STANDARDS, HISTORICAL SOUTHLAKE DATA AND MARKET INTELLIGENCE TO DEVELOP THE COST ESTIMATES DURING THE PLANNING PROCESS.

CONSTRUCTION COST ESCALATION FACTORS ARE APPLIED CONSISTENTLY ACROSS CATEGORIES, AND ASSUMPTIONS ARE REFINED AS PROJECTS ADVANCE THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS.

THIS APPROACH ENSURES THE CIP REFLECTS REALISTIC COSTS RATHER THAN OPTIMISTIC ASSUMPTIONS.

CAPITAL DECISIONS DO NOT STOP AT THE CONSTRUCTION COST, AS WE'RE ALL VERY AWARE.

WE EVALUATE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE IMPACTS, INCLUDING STAFFING, UTILITIES AND THE LIFE CYCLE COST TO TO TRULY UNDERSTAND THE FULL COST OF THE PROJECT. THIS ALLOWS US TO ASSESS, TO ASSESS AFFORDABILITY, NOT JUST WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION COST, BUT ACROSS THE OPERATING BUDGET OVER TIME, SUPPORTING LONG TERM FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY, WHICH HAS SERVED US WELL THROUGH THE YEARS.

BEFORE ANYTHING REACHES THE CITY COUNCIL PROJECTS MOVE THROUGH MULTIPLE LAYERS OF INTERNAL REVIEW, INCLUDING DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW, TECHNICAL COMMITTEE REVIEW AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP REVIEW.

THIS ENSURES CROSS-DEPARTMENT COORDINATION, REALISTIC SEQUENCING AND ALIGNMENT WITH ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY.

THIS FINAL STEP IS THE FINANCIAL REVIEW. THE FINAL STEP IS THE FINANCIAL REVIEW TO ENSURE THE OVERALL PROGRAM PROGRAM REFLECTS STRATEGY, AFFORDABILITY AND COUNCIL EXPECTATIONS. EACH CAPITAL PROGRAM IS SHAPED BY CURRENT REALITIES.

THIS YEAR WE ARE FACTORING FACTORING IN CONSTRUCTION, MARKET CONDITIONS, COST, CASH FUNDING, DEBT CAPACITY, AND OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER MULTIPLE LARGE PROJECTS ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

SEQUENCING DECISIONS REFLECT NOT JUST FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS, BUT ALSO ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT.

BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT THE OVERALL SHAPE OF THE PROPOSED CAPITAL PROGRAM IS VERY IMPORTANT.

[00:25:02]

AS YOU'VE HEARD DURING THE OPERATING BUDGET ADOPTION BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND DURING THE SUMMER, SOUTHLAKE USES A BALANCED APPROACH THAT PRIORITIZES CASH FUNDING WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

AND WE ALSO USE STRATEGIC USE OF DEBT. THIS IS NOT THIS IS NOT ANYTHING NEW.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS SERVED THE CITY VERY WELL THROUGH OUR DEBT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES.

AGAIN, IT'S A LONG STANDING PHILOSOPHY THAT ALLOWS US TO INVEST IN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WHILE PROTECTING FUTURE, FUTURE BUDGETS. OUR TRIPLE A BOND RATING REFLECTS THIS DISCIPLINE AND GIVES US FLEXIBILITY TO USE DEBT WHEN IT IS THE RIGHT TOOL TO USE.

THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AN EXTENSIVE AND DIVERSE INFRASTRUCTURE PORTFOLIO, INCLUDING MORE THAN 200 MILES OF ROADWAY SYSTEM, APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES OF STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE, AND NEARLY 900,000FT² OF FACILITIES.

WE ALSO MAINTAIN SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT SERVICE DELIVERY.

ALTHOUGH THIS REPRESENTS MORE THAN A HALF $1 BILLION IN GOVERNMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS, THIS SCALE AND COMPLEXITY IS WHY DISCIPLINED PLANNING AND THE THOUGHTFUL USE OF BOTH CASH AND DEBT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE CIP PROGRAM.

THE CIP REFLECTS THE SAME BALANCED FUNDING PHILOSOPHY THAT YOU SAW IN THE OPERATING BUDGET PROCESS.

CASH FUNDING IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE CIP WHENEVER IT'S FEASIBLE, REDUCING LONG TERM COSTS AND PRESERVING FLEXIBILITY WHEN DEBT IS USED.

IT'S ALIGNED WITH THE ASSET. LIFE IS STRUCTURED TO CONTROL LONG TERM IMPACTS.

SOME CAPITAL INVESTMENTS ARE FUNDED THROUGH ENTERPRISE FUNDS SUCH AS SUCH AS SUCH AS THE WATER UTILITIES.

WE'RE ALSO BORN BY BY RATEPAYERS RATHER THAN THE PROPERTY TAXPAYER.

AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL. THE PROPOSED CIP REFLECTS A BALANCED 5 YEAR PROGRAM.

IT INCLUDES A MIX OF FUNDING SOURCES, MAJOR INVESTMENT CATEGORIES AND TIMING BRANDS THAT EMPHASIZE MAINTENANCE, RENEWAL AND STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS WHICH ARE ALIGNED WITH THE ADOPTED PLANS OF CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED TONIGHT.

IT'S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE OVERALL SHAPE OF THE PROGRAM, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL PROJECT DECISIONS.

BEFORE MOVING TO THE CATEGORY BY CATEGORY OVERVIEW.

I WANT TO PAUSE JUST BRIEFLY TO TALK ABOUT THE CITY'S DEBT PROFILE AND HOW THAT FITS INTO OUR OVERALL CAPITAL STRATEGY.

DEBT ISSUANCE IS NOT A DEPARTURE FROM OUR APPROACH.

AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN A STRATEGIC APPROACH WE'VE USED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

IT IS A VERY DELIBERATE AND NECESSARY PART OF HOW WE FINANCE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE SCALE AND TIMING OF CAPITAL NEEDS OFTEN OUTPACE WHAT WE CAN REASONABLY BE FUNDED WITH CASH ALONE IN A GIVEN YEAR, PARTICULARLY FOR THE LARGE, LONG LIVED ASSETS.

OUR APPROACH IS TO COUPLE STRONG PAY AS YOU GO FUNDING WITH LIMITED PAY AS YOU GO FUNDING WITH LIMITED AND VERY STRATEGIC USE OF DEBT.

THIS ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS CRITICAL NEEDS WHEN THE WHEN THEY ARISE, WHILE SPENDING COSTS APPROPRIATELY OVER THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE ASSET.

IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEBT.

A PORTION OF THE CITY'S DEBT IS SUPPORTED BY PROPERTY TAX, AS WELL AS OTHER DEBT IS SELF-SUPPORTING THROUGH THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS SUCH AS THE WATER UTILITY FUND. THIS DISTINCTION IS INTENTIONALLY REFLECTED HOW IS INTENTIONALLY REFLECTED IN HOW PROJECTS ARE EVALUATED AND SEQUENCED IN THE CIP. ANOTHER KEY ELEMENT OF OUR STRATEGY IS THE DEBT RETIREMENT.

AGAIN, ANOTHER STRATEGY THAT HAS SERVED US VERY WELL AND PLAYS A PART IN THE AAA BOND RATING.

OVER THE COMING YEARS, THE CITY HAS SIGNIFICANT DEBT SCHEDULED TO ROLL OFF.

THIS CREATES CAPACITY FOR FUTURE ISSUANCE WHILE STILL STAYING WITHIN OUR ADOPTED DEBT PROGRAM GOALS, INCLUDING SHORT AMORTIZATION PERIODS AND MAINTAINING VERY LOW DEBT RELATIVE TO THE ASSESSED VALUE.

TAKING ALL OF THOSE STRATEGIES TOGETHER, THIS DISCIPLINED APPROACH ENSURES THAT DEBT REMAINS A TOOL USED STRATEGICALLY, RATHER THAN A RISK TO LONG TERM FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE CITY MANAGER. THANK YOU SHAREN.

SO AT THIS POINT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE FRAMEWORK.

AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THAT TRANSLATE.

TRANSLATION EXERCISE HAS WORKED AS FAR AS THE ASSET CATEGORIES GO.

SO WE'LL START WITH MOBILITY. RIGHT NOW, THE CURRENT PLAN SHOWS JUST OVER $15 MILLION PLANNED IN MOBILITY FUNDING, WITH THE TOTAL 5 YEAR PROJECTING A NEED OF ABOUT $71.4 MILLION IN PROJECTS.

SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT ARE DRIVING THE CAPITAL PROGRAM IN THIS CATEGORY ARE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.

YOU ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE AVENUE WIDENING PROJECT.

WE CONTINUE TO PUT MONEY TOWARDS THAT PROJECT.

IT IS A VERY LARGE PROJECT THAT WILL BE TAKING UP IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.

THE SOUTHWESTERN STREET EXTENSION ALSO PROVIDES A CRITICAL CONNECTION ON TO BRUMLOW AVENUE ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN.

[00:30:07]

SO ON THE WATER AND WASTEWATER INVESTMENT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE SLIDE THAT WE HAVE JUST UNDER $10 MILLION PLANNED FOR PROJECTS.

AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE LISTED ON THE SCREEN. THE FULL 5 YEAR PICTURE IS LOOKING AT JUST UNDER OR JUST OVER $98 MILLION IN INVESTMENT FOR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE. WE LOOK AT PROJECTS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR MAINTAINING SERVICE.

THE ALTA VISTA TRANSMISSION LINE IS ONE OF THOSE THAT IS ONE OF OUR MAJOR TRANSMISSION LINES THAT IS DUE FOR REPLACEMENT.

YOU SEE OTHER PROJECTS ON THE SCREEN THAT PROVIDE SYSTEM CAPACITY.

THEY HELP US MEET REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO HELP US RENEW AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR AGING INFRASTRUCTURE IS WELL MAINTAINED, SUCH AS THE ELEVATED TANKS. AND YOU CAN SEE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A TANK REPAINTING LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY IN PROCESS.

ON THE STORMWATER SIDE, YOU'LL SEE JUST. ABOUT $3.6 MILLION IN PLANNED PROJECTS FOR THIS CATEGORY.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT HERE IS THIS IS STORMWATER PROJECTS THAT ARE FUNDED WITH THE STORMWATER FUND.

WE ARE PROPOSING ABOUT 3.6 MILLION, AS I MENTIONED, AND THEN 12.9 IN TOTAL FOR THE 5 YEARS.

WE LOOK AT PROJECTS IN THIS CATEGORY THAT HELP PRIORITIZE RISK REDUCTION, DRAINAGE PERFORMANCE, PARTICULARLY IN AREAS WITH KNOWN CHALLENGES OR OTHER AGING INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE STORMWATER PROJECTS ARE PRIORITIZED USING WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT OUR TECHNICAL STUDIES SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, AND WE ALSO LOOK AT WHERE DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES POSE RISK TO PUBLIC ASSETS, PUBLIC STREETS, PUBLIC PROPERTY OR CITY ASSETS. SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT ARE PLANNED FOR THAT CATEGORY OF FUNDING, WE DO INCORPORATE STORMWATER ELEMENTS INTO ROADWAY PROJECTS, BUT THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT ARE STRICTLY DRAINAGE PROJECTS.

MOVING ON TO THE FINAL GROUP OF CATEGORIES, THIS IS OUR PARKS COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT AND FACILITIES INVESTMENTS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT FOR 2026, WE'RE PLANNING $7.6 MILLION IN PROJECTS.

THE MAJORITY OF THIS FUNDING IS TO COMPLETE THE ACQUISITION FOR THE STADIUM PROPERTY ACQUISITION.

AND THEN WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING NEEDS TO FINALIZE THE NORTH PARK TURF CONVERSION PROJECT.

SMALL AMOUNTS OF FUNDING ARE PLANNED FOR THE TOWN HALL, PLAZA PARK, OUT OF THE HOT FUND.

AND THEN THE PARKWAY PROJECT INCLUDES SOME FUNDING FROM THE PUBLIC ART FUND AND ALSO THE PARK DEDICATION FUND.

THE MAJORITY OF THESE PROJECTS ARE SHOWN IN THE OUT YEARS, BECAUSE WE'RE STILL IN THE PLANNING PHASE FOR THOSE, AND WE DON'T WANT TO TIE UP FUNDING FOR PROJECTS WHEN WE'RE STILL FINALIZING CONCEPTS OR OR WE'RE JUST NOT QUITE READY TO GO FORWARD TO FULL DESIGN.

AND WITH THAT, WE'LL CONCLUDE TONIGHT. WE WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU A FLAVOR OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO TAKE ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO AS A COUNCIL TO SET THE POLICY DIRECTION, TO PROVIDE US THE THE NEEDED FRAMEWORK AND INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO BUILD THE CAPITAL BUDGET AND THE CAPITAL PROGRAM AND SHOW YOU HOW THAT IS SHAPING UP FOR THE PROGRAM THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE SOON.

WE BELIEVE IT WILL BE AND IT ABSOLUTELY WILL BE ALIGNED WITH THE ADOPTED COUNCIL STRATEGY.

IT WILL BE REFLECTIVE OF OUR ONGOING COMMITMENT TO OUR FINANCIAL AND CIP GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

IT WILL BE PROJECTS WILL BE INCLUDED THAT ARE BASED ON OBJECTIVE PRIORITIZATION OF COST, ESTIMATING AFFORDABILITY.

AND IT ALSO TAKES A VERY SERIOUS APPROACH TO BALANCING THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS FOR LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY, BUT ALSO ALLOWING US TO PRESERVE FLEXIBILITY.

AND SO WITH THAT, WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO KNOW FROM THE COUNCIL AS WE REFINE THE CIP, WE ARE HERE TO HEAR FROM YOU TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALISON AND SHAREN. GREAT PRESENTATION ON THE ON THE CASH PART OR THE 2026 SPENDING IS SOME OF THAT MONEY THAT WILL ACTUALLY GET SPENT IN 2026, AND SOME OF IT'S MONEY THAT'S JUST BEING PUT IN THE BANK TO BE SPENT IN FUTURE YEARS.

SO ON THE CASH FUNDING, SOME OF IT WILL BE FOR DESIGN AND PHASES OF THE PROJECT.

THERE MAY BE A SMALL THAT WOULD CARRY OVER INTO EARLY FISCAL YEAR 2027, BUT NOT FOR NEXT LONG EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

OKAY. AND ON THE DEBT SIDE, WE'RE STILL, WHERE POSSIBLE, DOING SHORT TERM LIKE SEVEN YEARS.

[00:35:04]

BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT'LL BE WITHIN THAT LESS THAN TEN YEAR TIME FRAME.

OKAY. AND SO WE ARE HAVING DEBT THAT'S BEING ROLLED OFF OR PAID OFF.

AND SO THE TOTAL DEBT LEVEL IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE MUCH.

YES. FOR EXAMPLE WE'RE ISSUING SUGGESTED 11.6.

WE'VE GOT OVER 6 MILLION ROLLING OFF THIS YEAR AND ONLY ADDITIONAL INCREASE OF THAT 5.

GOT IT. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ALISON OR SHAREN REGARDING OUR FIRST LOOK AT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND WHAT'S KIND OF THE TIMEFRAME LIKE WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO THE REST OF THIS MONTH AND INTO FEBRUARY AS FAR AS WHAT COMES NEXT? SO THE TEAM WILL BE FINALIZING ALL OF THE MATERIALS FOR YOU.

YOU WILL RECEIVE THAT ON FEBRUARY NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 1ST.

YOU'LL LIKELY RECEIVE IT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAT WEEK. THE LAST WEEK OF JANUARY.

WE'LL HAVE A WORK SESSION DISCUSSION, THE FIRST MEETING IN FEBRUARY, AND THEN ADOPTION IS SCHEDULED FOR THE SECOND MEETING IN FEBRUARY.

RIGHT. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? QUESTIONS FOR ALISON OR SHAREN OR JUST COMMENTS IN GENERAL.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS Y'ALL. APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. TO BE CONTINUED.

APPROVAL OF THE METRO PORT TEEN COURT INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

THAT'S THE CONSENT AGENDA. DOES COUNCIL NEED ANY PRESENTATIONS OR DISCUSSION ON ANY OF THOSE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA? AND I THINK WE ONLY HAVE 1 REGULAR SESSION AGENDA ITEM THAT IS REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO WE CAN'T MOVE THAT TO CONSENT. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RESIDENT WHO MAY HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN SPEAKING ON ONE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYONE HERE, SO I DID HAVE A QUESTION.

SURE. GO AHEAD. I DID HAVE A QUESTION ON ITEM 4.D, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IF YOU WANT THAT TO BE PULLED OUT AND JUST TALK SINCE WE HAVE THE TIME AFTERWARDS. GO AHEAD AND DO IT RIGHT NOW. OKAY.

I GUESS THE QUESTION WAS WHAT I THOUGHT I'D READ IN HERE WAS THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A LIMITATION FROM 230 TO 4.

BUT I THOUGHT I SAW IN THERE THAT IT PROHIBITED PARKING ON THE STREETS, BUT ALSO STOPPING.

SO I JUST WANT TO SEE, DO WE ARE WE ABLE TO ACTUALLY ENFORCE THAT OR IS THIS JUST REALLY WE WOULD WE WOULD HOPE PEOPLE DON'T STOP.

I MEAN, HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU ENFORCE SOMEBODY STOPPING AND LETTING THEIR KID OUT? I'M SORRY. CAN YOU REPHRASE YOUR QUESTION FOR ME, PLEASE? RIGHT. SO THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT I'D READ IN HERE WAS THAT WE WERE GOING TO ALLEVIATE CONGESTION AND COMPLAINTS ON THE STREETS BY RESTRICTING PARKING. SO NO PARKING AND NO STOPPING.

[00:40:02]

SO 2 QUESTIONS REALLY. ONE IS CAN WE ACTUALLY ENFORCE NO STOPPING.

AND THEN THE 2ND IS CAN WE BE CLEAR ON WHO THE RESIDENTS CAN CONTACT WITH REGARDS TO IF THERE ARE ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT? BECAUSE I GUESS THERE'S BEEN SOME SORT OF CONFUSION IN THE PAST ON WHO IS GOING TO ACTUALLY ENFORCE THIS.

LIKE WHO, WHO CAN THEY CALL? SO THE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM WOULD BE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AS FAR AS THE STOPPING, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO OR WHAT WE WOULD BE REFERRING TO AS STANDING IN A PLACE, BASICALLY YOU'RE YOU'RE PARKED WITH SOMEBODY IN THE CAR AND THE CAR IS RUNNING DURING A PARTICULAR PERIOD OF TIME.

SO YES, THOSE COULD BE ENFORCED. IS THERE LIKE A TIME PERIOD OF HOW LONG SOMEBODY CAN BE STOPPED BEFORE THAT'S ACTUALLY ENFORCED? I DON'T THINK THERE'S A PARTICULAR TIME FRAME THAT WE WOULD UTILIZE.

AND CERTAINLY WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS, IF IF A VERBAL WARNING WOULD GET THE PERSON TO MOVE AND IT WASN'T A REPEATED THING, THEN THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THE OFFICERS WOULD HAVE THE DISCRETION TO TO DO.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT AGENDA ITEM OR ANYTHING ELSE, CHIEF? CASEY. ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU IS WHEN THIS THING STARTS, IS THERE ANY PLAN MAYBE TO GET OFFICERS OUT THERE? SO. SO THE PARENTS WHO ARE ALREADY ABUSING THAT STREET KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ENFORCED, ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING. DO WE HAVE ANY YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT? I THINK IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA FOR US TO PUT OUT COMMUNICATION ABOUT IT, SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE A HEADS UP THAT THIS IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE, SO THAT THEY KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO START ENFORCING IT.

SO I THINK USING THAT APPROACH AND BASICALLY PUSHING OUT SOME COMMUNICATION AHEAD OF TIME WILL HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT BEFORE WE START TAKING ENFORCEMENT ACTION. YOU'RE SO OPTIMISTIC. I'M SORRY. YOU'RE SO OPTIMISTIC.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU CHIEF. APPRECIATE THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON ANYTHING ON THE CONSENT AGENDA? ALL RIGHT.

WE WILL VOTE ON THAT DURING THE REGULAR SESSION.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL CALL THE REGULAR SESSION TO ORDER. AND THE 1ST ITEM IN THE REGULAR SESSION IS TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[1. Call to order. ]

[2.A. Executive Session]

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK WE'LL BE? 30 MINUTES. SO WE'LL BE BACK AROUND 6:50.

WE'LL SEE YOU IN. WE'LL SEE YOU THEN. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL CALL THE MEETING BACK TO ORDER. IS THERE ANY ACTION FOLLOWING EXECUTIVE SESSION?

[2.B. Reconvene]

[3.A. Mayor’s Report ]

[3.B. City Manager’s Report ]

HE IS OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM MANAGER.

AND HE'S HERE TO DISCUSS THIS YEAR'S SOUTHLAKE OPEN REWARDS PROGRAM.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SORRY. OKAY.

SO I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ALL TONIGHT ABOUT OUR SOUTHLAKE OPEN REWARDS PROGRAM.

SO THIS IS OUR 3RD YEAR DOING THE PROGRAM. INITIALLY, WE LAUNCHED IT IN 23.

SO THIS WILL BE OUR 3RD YEAR. IT WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR'S PROGRAM.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE DOING THE 5% CASH BACK SHOPPING, DINING AND MORE.

SO LIKE I SAID INITIALLY, WE LAUNCHED THIS IN FY 23 TO HELP WITH THE SALES TAX REVENUE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S A DIP IN FEBRUARY, WHICH IS WHY WE AIM TO LAUNCH IN FEBRUARY 1ST OF LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PAST 3 YEARS, LOOKS LIKE IT'S DOING VERY WELL.

IT'S HELPING OUT. SO WE'RE LOOKING TO TRY AND ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT AND GET PEOPLE BACK IN SOME OF THE STORES AND OUT HERE SHOPPING AGAIN AFTER THE CHRISTMAS SEASON AND, AND ALL THE RETURNS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT. SO LIKE I SAID, PROGRAMS VERY SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR, AS YOU CAN SEE, DINING, SHOPPING, ENTERTAINMENT ALL HERE IN SOUTHLAKE.

SO YOU'LL JUST DOWNLOAD THE APP. IT'S CALLED OPEN REWARDS. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT ON YOUR SCREEN. IT'S BLUE.

IT'S BOTH ON ANDROID AND ON THE IPHONE. AND THIS YEAR WE'VE GOT 365 LOCAL BUSINESSES.

AND THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THIS YEAR'S PROGRAM ON THE USER SIDE, AND I'LL KIND OF GO OVER THAT HERE IN A SECOND.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE GOT SOME NEW BUSINESSES UP THERE.

THAT PICTURE IS FROM ROSEBUD. SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF NEW BUSINESSES THAT ARE INVOLVED THIS YEAR.

SO LIKE I SAID, THE UPDATE THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE THE NEW POINT SYSTEM.

SO THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU A GOOD OVERALL LOOK AT IT A GOOD SNAPSHOT.

SO TO PUT IT EVEN MORE SIMPLY, FOR YOU. IT'S GOING TO BE 100 POINTS EQUALS $1.

AND IF THAT STILL IS CONFUSING TO ANYBODY, YOU CAN SEE ON THE FAR RIGHT IN THAT SCREENSHOT,

[00:45:01]

IT'LL SAY IT SAYS 37.50 AND THEN $37.50 IN CASH VALUE.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS. YOU KNOW, THE USERS UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT THAT MEANS.

ON THE BLUE DOT SIDE, THE PEOPLE WHO PUT OUT SOUTHLAKE REWARDS AND THAT WE COLLABORATE WITH THEY'VE SAID THAT THEY'VE, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE BANNERS, THEY'VE GOT EXAMPLES RIGHT THERE THAT WILL SHOW EVERYBODY WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND THEY HAVEN'T HAD A WHOLE LOT OF QUESTIONS WITH ANY OF THEIR OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE ALSO USED THIS PROGRAM.

SO THEY'RE PREPPED. WE'RE PREPPED FOR THOSE QUESTIONS.

SO WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED THOSE UPDATES ON SOUTHLAKEOPENREWARDS.

COM SO LIKE I SAID, WE'LL BE LAUNCHING THIS AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 1ST.

SO LOOK FOR SOME MARKETING PUSH HERE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

AND WE PROJECT THIS TO LAST UNTIL ABOUT MID MAY, LATE MAY DEPENDING ON HOW EVERYBODY USES IT.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU DYLAN. GREAT PRESENTATION.

I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THIS. IT'S A GOOD WAY TO GET BACK INTO IT AFTER THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON OPEN REWARDS.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT FEBRUARY 1ST THANK YOU DYLAN.

ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT? NO, MA'AM.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT WOULD BE OUR CONSENT AGENDA, BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 7:00 FOR THAT.

WE HAD 2 COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WERE ABSENT FROM THAT MEETING, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO WATCH THE MEETING.

SO THEY'RE UP TO SPEED. SO, DIRECTOR KILLOUGH, I DON'T THINK WE NEED ANY PRESENTATION TONIGHT UNLESS COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR DENNIS ON ON ITEM 6.A. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOOD.

THANK YOU MAYOR. WELL DONE DENNIS. ALL RIGHT.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE? DID YOU GUYS WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? I KNOW YOU MADE THE CHANGE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME.

Y'ALL KNOW THE DRILL. IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAMES AND ADDRESSES FOR THE RECORD, AND I THINK WE'VE ALREADY COVERED OR WE KNOW WHAT THE CHANGES ARE, BUT GO AHEAD. YEAH. CURTIS SHAUN WITH THE SAGE GROUP, 1130 NORTH CARROLL.

TRAVIS FRANKS, WILLOW TREE CUSTOM HOME, 680 NORTH CAROL.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR. GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN. SO LAST TIME WE APPROVED THE BANK DRIVE THROUGH PART OF THE APPLICATION WE SAID NO ON THE THE 3RD STORY BAR AND SPEAKEASY. AND THAT'S BEEN REMOVED FROM THE CURRENT APPLICATION.

SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU GUYS WANTED TO ADD BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD? WANTED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS, LET YOU KNOW THAT WE RESUBMITTED AS PER THE FIRST READING.

YEAH. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANTS? ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, GUYS. THAT WAS A SHORT PRESENTATION. PROBABLY THE SHORTEST 1 EVER. SO MUCH. WE'RE OFF TO A GOOD START IN 2026 RIGHT.

ITEM 6.A. IS THE 2ND READING AND REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO I'LL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON 6.A. IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM 6.A? OKAY. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 6.A. COUNCIL.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? NOPE. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL TAKE A MOTION ON ITEM 6.A. ON SECOND READING.

THANK YOU. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6.A.

ORDINANCE NO. 480-810A, ZA25-0068,. 2ND READING, ZONING CHANGE AND SITE PLAN FOR THE OVERLOOK OF THE WILLOW TREE GARDENS DEVELOPMENT ON PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF TRACT 3.C.

WW HALL SURVEY ABSTRACT NUMBER 695 AND LOCATED AT 240 NORTH CARROLL AVENUE, SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED DECEMBER 29TH, 225, 2025. I'M GUESSING THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS.

SITE PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER 3 DATED DECEMBER 29TH, 2025, NOTING WE ARE APPROVING ZONING CHANGE AND SITE PLAN TO PERMIT DRIVE THROUGH LANE FOR A BANK, A MAXIMUM 2 STORY BUILDING WITH A FOOTPRINT OF APPROXIMATELY 12,455FT² AND FLOOR AREA OF APPROXIMATELY 24,910FT².

THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE ABOUT THE MOTION IS DO WE HAVE TO, IN THE MOTION, TIE THE DRIVE THROUGH TO THE LEASE TO THE BANK?

[00:50:04]

SO DO WE NEED TO ADD THAT TO THE MOTION? USE AND OTHERWISE REMOVED. AND SHE'S ASKING ABOUT THE LEASE OF THE BANK.

WE'VE GOT THE DRIVE THROUGH FOR THE BANK ON HERE.

RIGHT. YES. BUT BUT WE EXCLUSIVELY WE WE DIDN'T MENTION THAT.

WELL, RATHER THAN TYING IT TO THE LEASE AND THE IN THE CASE THAT A DIFFERENT BANK MOVED IN UNDER ANOTHER LEASE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I THINK IF YOU LIMIT THE USE FOR BANK AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTION USE ONLY, AND THAT IT WOULD OTHERWISE BE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED, THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY COVER CONCERN OF IT BEING USED FOR ANY OTHER TYPE OF USE.

ASSUMING THAT IS, THE MOTION AS WRITTEN, IS IS THE IS IT EXCLUSIVE TO A BANK, OR DO WE NEED TO ADD THAT IN THE MOTION? ADD THAT TO THE MOTION IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WISH, AND IF THE COUNCIL WISHES THAT TO BE.

IF I RECALL IN THE 1ST READING, WE TIED IT TO THAT LEASE AND ANY EXTENSIONS THAT COME THEREAFTER.

AND SO. OKAY. I THINK WHAT'S BEING PRESENTED IS, IS WHAT WAS APPROVED LAST TIME.

IS THAT RIGHT? THAT IS MY BELIEF. THAT WAS THE MOTION LAST TIME.

BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE CLARIFIED IN THE MOTION AND ADD THAT THAT DRIVE THROUGH USE IS ONLY TIED TO A BANK USE, I THINK THAT WILL COVER THE THE CONCERN THAT YOU HAVE.

YEAH. I THINK IT'S CAPTURED AS PART OF THE FIRST READING MOTION.

BUT IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND RESTATE IT, JUST THE RECORD'S CLEAR.

JUST TO MAKE SURE ANYONE WHO'S PAYING ATTENTION JUST TO THIS READING, ARE WE TYING IT TO THE LEASE JUST SO THAT IT'S NOT CONFUSING? MY RECOLLECTION IS THE 1ST READING. IT WAS TIED TO THE LEASE EXTENSIONS, AND WHAT I'M HEARING US SAY IS THAT IT'LL BE LIMITED TO ONLY BANK USE.

THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. ONE IS, IF WE DECIDE IN 20 YEARS AFTER THE EXTENSIONS AND ALL THAT, THAT WE DON'T WANT A BANK THERE, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY IT CAN'T BE A DRIVE THROUGH ANYMORE.

OKAY. AND THAT'S HOW WE ORIGINALLY HAD IT. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE'LL. SO NOTING SO AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MOTION NOTING WE'RE APPROVING ZONING CHANGES.

SITE PLANS PERMIT DRIVE THROUGH LANE FOR BANK.

ALSO NOTING THAT WE ARE TYING THE LEASE OF THE BANK TO THE TO THE USE.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT? NOTING WE ARE TYING THE DRIVE THROUGH FOR THE BANK TO THE LEASE OF THE BANK AND ANY EXTENSIONS OF THAT LEASE GOING FORWARD. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THEN ALSO THE WE'VE ALREADY SAID THE MAXIMUM 2 STORY BUILDING.

YEP. I'VE READ EVERYTHING. LET'S SEE. AND ALSO NOTING ON FIRST READING WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT NOT PERMITTING THE 3RD FLOOR WITH THE PRIVATE CLUB OR BAR THAT'S ALREADY FROM THE FIRST READING.

RIGHT. BECAUSE IT SAYS MAXIMUM TWO STORY BUILDING. YEP. OKAY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION.

GO AHEAD. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS CAN I GET YOUR FEEDBACK? BUT WE STILL HAVEN'T TIED IT TO JUST A BANK. I THINK WE DID FOR BANK ONLY.

YEAH. OKAY. EXCLUSIVELY. SO NOBODY COULD COME IN THERE WITH THE RESTAURANT LATER.

OKAY. SO THE MOTION THAT'S BEEN MADE IS, IS TO TIE IT TO A BANK USE WITH THE CURRENT LEASE.

SO IT'S NOT ONLY THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS NOT ONLY TYING IT TO A BANK, BUT IT'S TYING IT TO THE BANK THAT'S POTENTIALLY LEASING THE SPACE OR PROPOSED TO LEASE THE SPACE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION.

DO WE HAVE A 2ND? SECOND. CAST YOUR VOTES ON 6.A..

AND THAT MOTION CARRIES 6-0 . ITEM 6.A. IS APPROVED TONIGHT ON 2ND READING.

CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS. GOOD LUCK. WE HAVE TO WAIT JUST A FEW MINUTES FOR 7 P.M.

FOR PUBLIC FORUM. THAT'S OUR LAST ITEM. I'LL NOTE FOR THE RECORD, THAT PUBLIC FORUM ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO BRING FORWARD ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON OUR REGULAR AGENDA. AND WE'LL WAIT TILL 7:00 TO OPEN THAT UP.

[00:56:54]

YOUR JOB. MAKE SURE YOU. YES. SO THE PUBLIC FORUM ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO BRING FORWARD ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON THE REGULAR AGENDA. IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC F ORUM. MEETING ADJOURNED.
