WE LIVE IN OVER BY OFF OF MURPHY ROAD, AND I'VE BEEN ON CITY COUNCIL SINCE 2018.

IT'S GOOD TO HAVE EVERYBODY HERE.

THANK YOU TO THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND OF COURSE, TO THE EXISTING BOARD MEMBERS FOR YOUR SERVICE.

SO JUST A COUPLE QUICK THINGS.

OBVIOUSLY BUNKER HILL GROUNDBREAKING.

WE HAD THAT THIS WEEK.

AND SO WE HAD A COUPLE OF THE NEW FOLKS GET OUT THERE AND GRAB A SHOVEL RIGHT AWAY.

SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

ABOUT A 27,000 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT BE SPLIT UP INTO A COUPLE PHASES.

[00:10:06]

AND SO THEY WERE REALLY PLEASED TO HAVE THEIR GROUNDBREAKING AND GET KICKED OFF.

THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT YOU ALL WEIGHED IN ON, AND SO WE'RE REALLY THRILLED TO HAVE THAT GOING AFTER A LOT OF PLANNING.

FIFTH STREET DISTRICT RELATIVE TO THE ALEXANDER STREET CONSTRUCTION.

IF YOU'VE DRIVEN OVER THERE RECENTLY, YOU'VE PROBABLY NOTICED THAT IT'S QUITE THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE.

SO I WAS SPEAKING WITH OUR CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR JUST TO GET A COUPLE OF UPDATES, AND THEY'RE MOVING ALONG PER SCHEDULE.

THE WATER TIE IN ON FIFTH STREET IS COMPLETE.

THEY'RE WORKING ON SOME OTHER UTILITIES THAT THEY THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE HOPEFULLY WRAPPED UP HERE PRETTY QUICK.

AND YOU MIGHT EVEN START TO SEE SOME CONCRETE WORK RELATIVE TO THE ALEXANDER STREET ITSELF HERE THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THEY'RE HOPING THAT IT'S WRAPPED UP EARLY 2024.

SO THEY'RE MOVING ALONG, OF COURSE, IN THE DECEMBER MONTHS A LITTLE COLDER.

YOU NEVER KNOW WITH CONCRETE RIGHT.

BUT I THINK THEY'RE TRACKING ALONG ON SCHEDULE.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MISS DENISE LEWIS TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT SHE HAS BEEN WORKING ON.

SO. GOOD EVENING, VICE PRESIDENT AND BOARD.

NEW BOARD MEMBERS, WELCOME.

SO I'LL START WITH THE WEBSITE.

SO SINCE I FIRST STARTED, JARED HAS WANTED ME TO TAKE OVER THE WEBSITE.

SO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH EISENBERG TO MAKE CHANGES TO OUR DEMOGRAPHICS, CHANGES TO COPY, CHANGES TO PICTURES, FORMATTING CHANGES, AND OTHER SMALL WEBSITE CHANGES. AND SO I'M SUPER HAPPY TO SAY THAT TOMORROW OUR WEBSITE WILL GO LIVE.

AND SO LIVE, MEANING THAT IF SOMEONE TYPES IN SACHSEECONOMICDEVELOPMENT.COM OR SACHSE EDC, IT WILL TAKE THEM TO OUR NEW WEBSITE.

SO I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND SO MY PLAN OR OUR PLAN IS TO ROLL IT OUT LIVE TO THE PUBLIC AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA THE FIRST WEEK IN DECEMBER.

SO FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN AND INSTAGRAM.

AND SO THAT WOULD JUST BE, YOU KNOW, HEY, HERE'S OUR NEW SITE.

LOOK AT OUR NEW COLORS, OUR NEW BRANDING.

AND HERE ARE THE FEATURES, THE NEW FEATURES THAT WE THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.

AND WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY BOOST THE FACEBOOK POST AND THE LINKEDIN POST.

WHEN WE BOOSTED OUR FACEBOOK POST FOR JAKES AND LINKEDIN, IT WENT CRAZY.

IT WENT REALLY WELL.

AND SO THIS WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE SAME THING FOR OUR WEBSITE.

AND SO THAT'S THE WEBSITE UPDATE.

AND FOR THE NEON CLOUD VIDEO ON OCTOBER 9TH I WELL I'LL ACTUALLY BACK UP A LITTLE BIT.

SO FOR THE NEW MEMBERS.

SO WE ARE WORKING WITH NEON CLOUD AND THEY'RE PRODUCING A 2 TO 3 MINUTE VIDEO FOR US, A BANNER CLIP THAT WILL GO ON OUR WEBSITE, 20 HIGH QUALITY PICTURES AND A FEW SOCIAL MEDIA LOOPS.

AND SO ON OCTOBER 9TH, THE VIDEOGRAPHER AND I, WE WENT AROUND SACHSE AND FILMED 15 DIFFERENT FILMED AT 15 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

IT WAS A VERY LONG DAY, BUT IT WAS REALLY, REALLY GREAT.

AND SO WE'VE GOTTEN THE PICTURES BACK FROM THAT 20 PICTURES AND THEY'RE HIGH QUALITY AND THEY LOOK REALLY GOOD.

SO WE'VE ALREADY BEEN USING THEM ON OUR MARKETING MATERIALS, ON OUR WEBSITE AND OTHER OTHER DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND SO NOW I'M IN THE PROCESS OF TALKING TO THE PROJECT MANAGER, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR 2D MAP WHAT OUR 3D MAP IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE THOSE DETAILS, WHAT OUR ANIMATED TEXT IS GOING TO SAY AND WHAT OUR STYLIZED TEXT IS GOING TO SAY.

AND SO THOSE ARE KIND OF LIKE OUR LONG ZOOM CALLS, JUST TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE WANT.

AND THEN THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE ANOTHER CALL ABOUT HOW WE WANT THE SCENES TO GO AND DO WE LIKE THE SCENES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO THE LAST I HEARD, THE PROJECT MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE VIDEO WILL BE DONE IN A FEW MONTHS.

SO THAT IS THE DATE THAT I HAVE A FEW MONTHS.

[LAUGHTER] SO YES, I WILL DEFINITELY GET BACK TO YOU GUYS ON THAT.

A FEW MONTHS, FEW MONTHS, THAT'S WHAT I'VE HEARD.

SO YES. THANKS, DENISE.

YES. AND I CAN ATTEST THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE WAY HANDS ON.

SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL TO HER FOR ALL THE WORK TO GET THESE THINGS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE VIDEO.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT THEY'RE WAITING ON FROM US.

THE CITY THERE IS NOW THEM DOING THEIR WORK.

IS THAT RIGHT? THEY'RE NOT WAITING ON ANYTHING FROM YOU OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO WHEN WE HOP ON THE ZOOM CALLS WITH THE PROJECT MANAGER, SHE'LL HAVE ME DO CERTAIN TASKS.

SO FOR THE 2D AND 3D MAPS, SHE'LL SAY, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT? WHICH HIGHWAYS DO YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT? WHICH AIRPORTS DO YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT? WHAT QUALITY OF LIFE STUFF? SO THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT I STILL HAVE TO DO IN A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD OKAY.

YES. OKAY.

WE'RE SUPER INVOLVED IN THE YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT.

KIND OF LIKE WHAT THE MESSAGING OF THE VIDEO WOULD BE.

[00:15:01]

AND SO FOR EXAMPLE, IN SACHSE, QUALITY OF LIFE IS A BIG DEAL HERE, RIGHT.

SCHOOLS ACCESS HIGHWAYS AS DENISE MENTIONED.

SO WE KIND OF GAVE THEM THE FRAMEWORK AND THEN THEY PUT THEIR MAGIC TO WORK.

SO COUPLE JUST UPCOMING EVENTS.

CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA A VERY BIG EVENT HERE IN THE CITY OF SACHSE.

IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX DECEMBER 6TH, SO PLEASE COME TO THAT IF YOU CAN.

AND THEN I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT.

JUST LOOKING AT OUR SCHEDULE, THE NEXT EDC BOARD MEETING WOULD FALL ON DECEMBER 21ST.

AND SO I WILL PROBABLY JUST SEND A NOTE AND FIND OUT AVAILABILITY IF OBVIOUSLY THAT'S VERY CLOSE TO THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.

IF THAT WORKS FOR YOUR CALENDAR, WE CAN KIND OF ADJUST IF WE NEED TO.

SO. JUST WANTED TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF THAT.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, SIR.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYBODY? OKAY. WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM D TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE APPROVAL OF FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $100,000 FOR THE

[2. Conduct a public hearing for the approval of funding in the amount of $100,000 for the SEDC Local Business Grant Program.]

SACHSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION LOCAL BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAM FOR THOSE BOARD MEMBERS THAT WERE HERE AND THOSE THAT WEREN'T.

YOU'LL RECALL THAT WE APPROVED THE LOCAL BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAM, AND THAT HAD TO THEN GO BACK.

IF I SAY THIS WRONG, JERRY YOU'RE GOING TO CORRECT ME.

IT THEN GOES TO APPROVAL FROM THE CITY COUNCIL.

BUT WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THE STATUTE IS THAT YOU HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING WHERE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN COMMENT IF THEY WANT TO.

THEN AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING IS HELD, YOU'VE GOT TO WAIT 60 DAYS BEFORE ANY FUNDS CAN BE RELEASED.

AND SO FOR THAT PURPOSE, WE ARE GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE APPROVAL OF FUNDING FOR THAT $100,000 FOR LOCAL BUSINESS GRANT.

I'LL DECLARE THAT HEARING OPEN.

DO I NEED TO GIVE A TIME ON THAT OR JUST SAY THAT IT'S OPEN? YOU GOT IT. 6:16.

THANK YOU. ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? HEARING NONE. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AS WELL. SO THAT IS THAT HEARING.

PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM D THREE.

[3. Consider and elect a President and Vice-President of the Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors.]

AS YOU CAN TELL, THEY'VE BEEN CALLING ME VICE PRESIDENT.

AND OUR PREVIOUS PRESIDENT IS NO LONGER ON THE BOARD.

AND SO ITEM D THREE SAYS CONSIDER AND ELECT A PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

AND SO THIS IS REALLY CAN BE SELF NOMINATION OR NOMINATING SOMEBODY ELSE.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT.

AND THEN WE HAVE ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT HAS TO BE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL, AND THEN A VOTE ON WHO WOULD BE NAMED AS PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.

AND THESE CAN BE SEPARATE ACTIONS.

WE CAN SAY WE'LL NOMINATE AND VOTE ON A PRESIDENT FIRST AND THEN NOMINATE AND VOTE A VICE PRESIDENT SECOND.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THOSE ALL TOGETHER AT ONCE.

AND SO FROM MY STANDPOINT, I WOULD THROW MY HAT IN THE RING TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION JUST I ENJOY SERVING.

AND I ENJOY BEING A BIG PART OF IT.

AND I THINK THAT I CAN CAN BENEFIT.

SO I WOULD I WOULD THROW MY HAT IN THE RING TO BE PRESIDENT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO THROW MY HAT IN THE RING FOR A VICE PRESIDENT.

OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE THOUGHTS OR IDEAS? SEE WHEN YOU GET TO BE NEW ON THE BOARD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HIT WITH ALL THIS STUFF ALL AT ONCE, YOU SAY, WAIT A MINUTE.

[LAUGHTER] I DIDN'T PLAN ON NOMINATING MYSELF OR ANYONE, BUT ONE THING I WAS INTERESTED IN MAYBE JUST KIND OF HEAR LIKE A 30.

AND I COME FROM THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN WORLD, SO WE CALL IT AN ELEVATOR PITCH.

BUT BASICALLY LIKE YOUR 30 SECOND PITCH ON WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO.

SO I GET A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT YOUR OBJECTIVES ARE AND WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCE IS.

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S FAIR.

I WOULD TELL YOU, BECAUSE I [INAUDIBLE] MOTION THAT'S GOOD.

WE CAN TALK. FOR ME, I COME FROM A FINANCIAL BACKGROUND.

I'M A WEALTH MANAGER BY PROFESSION, HAVING LIVED AND LIKE I SAID, BEING RAISED IN SACHSE, I WANT TO SEE SACHSE CONTINUE TO PROGRESS. I WANT TO SEE IT GROW.

AND FOR ME TO TO SEE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FIND THE BEST WAY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LAND AND THE PROPERTIES THAT WE HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL, BECAUSE WE ARE VERY LIMITED.

IT'S NINE SQUARE MILES AND THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT LEFT THAT WE CAN DEVELOP.

SO HOW DO WE BEST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, AND HOW DO WE USE THE DOLLARS THAT WE'VE BEEN ENTRUSTED WITH TO UTILIZE? AND I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, I'M A PLANNER AND THAT'S WHERE THIS FITS ME.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN FOLLOW THAT.

[LAUGHTER] NO.

[00:20:03]

I ALSO HAVE A FINANCIAL BACKGROUND.

I'VE WORKED IN REVENUE MANAGEMENT AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS NOW AND ALSO HAVE A DEGREE IN BUSINESS, SO I FIND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT VERY INTERESTING.

I'M RELATIVELY NEW TO SACHSE.

HOWEVER, I TOLD PEOPLE THIS WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE IS I'VE BEEN HERE A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT IT'S THE FIRST PLACE I'VE EVER LIVED THAT I FELT AT HOME.

AND I REALLY MEAN THAT. AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE THE FACT THAT I OWN MY FIRST PROPERTY EVER HERE IN THE CITY OF SACHSE.

I COME FROM BIG CITIES WHERE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO OWN REAL ESTATE, BASICALLY.

SO I'M VERY GLAD TO HAVE MY SMALL LITTLE PARCEL IN THE STATION.

AND I THINK THAT I REPRESENT SORT OF A NEW DEMOGRAPHIC IN SACHSE, AS IN THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE STATION AND THE CULTURE THAT THE STATION REPRESENTS, BEING A VERY WALKABLE AREA OF THE CITY AND A LITTLE BIT MORE URBAN THAN SOME OF THE OTHER PARTS OF SACHSE.

BUT AS WE'VE SEEN, WE BROUGHT, YOU KNOW, THE STATION HAS BROUGHT GREAT RETAIL BUSINESSES TO TO THE AREA AND HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE TRAVELING FROM GARLAND AND OTHER PLACES TO EAT AT MANNY'S AND BRASS TAP.

AND I'M REALLY INTERESTED TO SEE THAT THROUGH.

AND EVEN AMONGST MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE STATION, I'M SORT OF A LEADER.

I RUN THE HOMEOWNERS FACEBOOK GROUP WHERE WE TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE INTERESTING TO THE CITY OF SACHSE, AND I THINK THAT I'M A GOOD REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT SORT OF SEGMENT OF THE CITY. AWESOME.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU A COMPLIMENT SCOTT, I THINK YOU DO A GREAT JOB DIRECTING THE MEETING THUS FAR.

SO THAT'S I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.

HE HAS. YEAH. WE'RE TRYING, WE'RE TRYING.

SO WE UNLESS THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO PUT A NOMINATION OR ANYTHING, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A MOTION TO VOTE ON.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE? I GUESS THAT IS TRUE.

ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS? OKAY. I SECOND THE MOTION TO VOTE.

I MAKE THE MOTION. OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE SCOTT MCMURDIE AS PRESIDENT.

I SECOND THAT MOTION. AND RAISE YOUR HAND AND YES WE'LL DO PRESIDENT FIRST.

YEAH, AND WE HAVE A SECOND FOR THAT.

CAN WE DO? CAN WE JUST I GUESS WE JUST SLATE.

IF THERE'S NOBODY ELSE THAT'S WANTING TO SAY.

DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO THROW THEIR HAT IN THE RING FOR VICE PRESIDENT, I GUESS.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WHEN YOU SLATE IT IS WHEN YOU WANT TO MODIFY THAT MOTION? DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT? I WILL MODIFY MY MOTION TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.

OKAY, I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? DENISE? DO WE GET YOU? YES GOT IT.

JOSHUA OR JOSH OR DO YOU CARE? PLEASE TELL. I ALWAYS JOKE THAT AS LONG AS YOU CALL ME FOR DINNER, I DON'T CARE.

[LAUGHTER] CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT. JUST DON'T CALL ME LATE FOR DINNER, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT. AND THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. YES.

LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ITEM E IS EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[E. Executive Session]

I READ THESE DON'T I? OKAY. THE SACHSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION SHALL CONVENE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.087 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DELIBERATIONS DELIBERATE THE OFFER OF A FINANCIAL OR OTHER INCENTIVE RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT MOCKINGBIRD.

NUMBER TWO THE SACHSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION SHALL CONVENE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.087.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DELIBERATIONS DELIBERATE THE OFFER OF A FINANCIAL OR OTHER INCENTIVE RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT YOSEMITE.

AND ITEM THREE DELIBERATE ON THE OFFER OF A FINANCIAL OR OTHER INCENTIVE RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT RED FOX.

SO WITH THAT, WE WILL ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT 6:24 P.M..

OKAY. WE WILL NOW RECONVENE OUR MEETING AT 8:25 P.M..

[00:25:08]

OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION.

AND WE'LL MOVE.

LET ME GET THIS RIGHT HERE TO SECTION F ONE.

[1. Take any action as a result of Executive Session - deliberate the offer of a financial or other incentive relating to the development of Project Mockingbird.]

TAKING ACTION AS A RESULT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION.

DELIBERATE ON THE OFFER OF FINANCIAL OR OTHER INCENTIVE RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT MOCKINGBIRD.

I DO HAVE COMMENT CARD FOR MISTER HOBOK ON F ONE.

DO YOU WANT TO COME UP? YOU GOT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THAT SECTION? THERE WON'T BE ANY.

THERE'S NOT ANY ACTION BEING TAKEN ON THIS ITEM AND NO VOTE BEING TAKEN ON THIS ITEM.

OKAY. ITEM F2.

[2. Take any action as a result of Executive Session - deliberate the offer of a financial or other incentive relating to the development of Project Yosemite.]

TAKING ACTION AS A RESULT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION.

THERE IS ACTION TO BE TAKEN.

AGAIN, MR. HOBOK, YOU'VE GOT F2.

ANY COMMENTS OR ITEMS ON THAT ONE.

OKAY. I MAKE A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THIS.

I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T COMING.

MATTHEW HOBOK, 5511, OAK RIDGE CIRCLE, SACHSE, TEXAS.

TOP OF THE HILL.

WHAT IS THE INFORMATION ON PROJECT YOSEMITE? WHAT DOES IT DO FOR THE CITY OF SACHSE BESIDES GIVE SOME DEVELOPER MONEY TO BUY LAND AND MAKE SOME UNKNOWN LANDOWNER RICHER.

IS IT CREATING ANY EMPLOYMENT FOR CITY OF SACHSE, OR IS IT JUST ANOTHER COFFEE HOUSE, NAIL HOUSE, HAMBURGER JOINT THAT CAN COME AND DO BUSINESS ON THEIR OWN? HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU GIVING THEM? YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE ACTION, AND YOU GIVE ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION FOR ANYBODY TO MAKE ANY SORT OF JUDGMENT ON IT.

THAT IS WHY YOU PUT YOUR FINANCIAL RECORDS UNDERNEATH THE CONSENT AGENDA, AND YOU DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE ALL YOU ALL KNOW HOW TO DO IS SPEND MONEY, AND THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR WHERE IT GOES AND WHAT GOOD IT DOES.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I MAKE A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE AN INCENTIVE AGREEMENT FOR A PROJECT YOSEMITE ON BEHALF OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.

I SECOND THAT MOTION.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
