Sep 15, 2025 City Council

>> TWO QUESTIONS. WHAT'S THE SAVINGS THAT THIS IS GOOD?

>> MR. PRESENBERG.

>> IF YOU PAID OUT THE FULL 950,000, IT'D BE ABOUT $220,000 JUST UNDER THAT.

>> AWESOME.

>> SILLY QUESTION, BUT WHERE'S THE MONEY COMING FROM THAT'S PAYING OFF?

>> IT'LL COME FROM THE DEBT SERVICE FUND.

IT'S NOTHING DIFFERENT FROM HOW YOUR DEBT IS NORMALLY PAID.

>> PERFECT.

>> MR. MELSON.

>> COULD YOU PUT THE SLIDE BACK UP, IT SHOWS A CALL DATE THERE WE GO.

IF WE PAY THESE OFF UP TO THE MAXIMUM MONEY THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE, DO WE HAVE TO PAY THE EARLIEST ONE OFF FIRST, OR CAN WE PICK AND CHOOSE?

>> GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO PAY THOSE OFF THAT ARE CALLABLE NOW.

YOU GET MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, SO TO SPEAK.

YOU CAN PAY OTHERS OFF INTO THE FUTURE, BUT THERE ARE SOME TAX LIMITATIONS ON DOING THAT.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE PICKING THE 2015 IN THIS CASE.

>> I'M IN FAVOR OF PAYING OFF AS MANY AS WE CAN AS SOON AS WE CAN.

>> YES, SIR. UNDERSTOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL FOR MR. HUGHES OR STAFF? HANG AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

THIS IS AN ACTIONABLE ITEM, AT THIS TIME, I'LL ASK IF ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

HEARING NONE, WE'LL ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR MOTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? MS. HOWARTH.

>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM E7 AS PRESENTED.

>> I THINK I WAS HOPING YOU SAY SEVEN.

HAVE A MOTION BY MS. HOWARTH TO APPROVE ITEM E7 AS PRESENTED.

DO I HAVE A SECOND, MR. LINDSAY?

>> SECOND BY MR. LINDSAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, MR. HUGHES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN.

>> ABSOLUTELY. I APPRECIATE IT.

>> IT'S MORE GOOD NEWS.

>> THANKS, SIR. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO ITEM 1 NOW ON E ACTION ITEMS.

[1. Conduct a public hearing and consider the adoption of an ordinance related to the Sachse Public Improvement District No. 1; ratifying and conforming prior actions of the City Council in connection with the District; approving an Operations and Maintenance Service and Assessment Plan Update for maintenance of authorized improvements within the District which lies within the corporate limits of the city; levying assessments against the assessed property to pay for maintenance of authorized improvements within the District; providing for the collection of assessments; creating a charge and lien against the assessed property; providing for penalties for delinquent assessments; creating a District Project Fund; making legislative findings; providing for severability; and providing an effective date.]

ITEM 1, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE RELATED TO THE SACHSE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 1, RATIFYING AND CONFORMING PRIOR ACTIONS OF THE CITY COUNCIL IN CONNECTION WITH THE DISTRICT, APPROVING AN OPERATIONS OF MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN UPDATE FOR MAINTENANCE AND AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE DISTRICT, WHICH LIES WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY.

EXCUSE ME.

LEVYING ASSESSMENTS AGAINST THE ASSESSED PROPERTY TO PAY FOR MAINTENANCE OF AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE DISTRICT, PROVIDING FOR THE COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS, CREATING A CHARGE AND LIEN AGAINST THE ASSESSED PROPERTY, PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES AND DELINQUENT ASSESSMENTS, CREATING A DISTRICT PROJECT FUND, MAKING LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS, PROVIDING FOR SEPARABILITY, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

[00:20:01]

BUT THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER, MS. NASH. THERE YOU GO.

>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, AS MAYOR JUST SAID, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING RELATED TO THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 1.

THIS IS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN VERSUS THE ACCEPTANCE AND APPROVAL THAT YOU DID DURING YOUR CONSENT AGENDA FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE PID, WHICH WAS CONSENT ITEM 3.

I WOULD SLOW DOWN.

MAYBE I COULD TALK BETTER.

I HAVE MARY PETTY HERE FROM P3 WORKS, AND MARY IS OUR PID ADMINISTRATOR, AND SHE CAN JUST TAKE A MOMENT AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'RE DOING BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> HELLO, MS. PETTY.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MARY PETTY WITH P3 WORKS, AS MS. NASH SAID, WE ARE YOUR PID ADMINISTRATOR.

EVERY YEAR, IF YOU RECALL, SINCE THE CREATION OF THE PID, BOTH THE CAPITAL PID AND THE O&M AND 2019, WE HAVE LEVIED AN ASSESSMENT ON THIS PROPERTY SINCE 2020 AND ROLLING FORWARD IN ORDER TO PAY FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT LEVY IS CONTAINED WITHIN AN ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT RUNS WITH THE LAND THAT WAS INTENDED TO MAINTAIN THIS AREA AND CERTAIN COMPONENTS.

THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER CHAPTER 372 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE IS THAT AN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PID HAS A REQUIREMENT TO SEND OUT A MAILED NOTICE EVERY YEAR.

YOU HAVE TO CALL FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

PREVIOUSLY IN THE SUMMER, YOU HAD A PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, WHICH LOOKED JUST LIKE THIS DOCUMENT, AND IT WAS APPROVED BY YOU FROM THE STANDPOINT OF AUTHORIZING STAFF TO CALL THAT PUBLIC HEARING.

A NOTICE WAS MAILED TO ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS, AS WELL AS A NEWSPAPER NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED.

SHORTLY THAT PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE OPENED, AND THEN FOLKS CAN SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE PID COMPONENT.

BUT AGAIN, THAT PID WAS CREATED FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT ALSO THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THAT SUBDIVISION, WHICH INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND RETAIL TO CONTAIN A HIGHER LEVEL OF SERVICE AND OTHER UNIQUE FEATURES THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND THAT ZONING COMPONENT THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY APPLIED FOR AND REQUESTED BY THE DEVELOPER GROUP, AND IT ENHANCES ALL OF THE COMPONENTS RELATIVE TO THAT DEVELOPMENT.

AGAIN, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THAT DOCUMENT CONTAINS THE BUDGET, BUT IT ALSO HAS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS BY PARCEL TIES BACK TO WHAT THE CAD PUTS TOGETHER EVERY YEAR, AND THEN THAT INVOICE AND THAT BILL WILL BE SENT BY YOUR COLLECTION ENTITY TO THOSE PROPERTY OWNER SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE THAT PAYMENT.

IF THERE'S A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOME OWNER THAT HAS A MORTGAGE, THEN THAT COLLECTION COMPANY SENDS THAT JUST LIKE THE TAX ASSESSOR COLLECTOR TO THAT MORTGAGE COMPANY TO COLLECT THAT PAYMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE A TAX ASSESSOR COLLECTOR.

THEY'RE JUST A THIRD PARTY.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

>> THANK YOU, MS. PETTY. QUESTIONS YOUR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL FOR MS. PETTY, OR STAFF. HANG TIGHT, MS. PETTY. WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME.

I DO DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. THE TIME MS. GRANGER.

>> 6:53 PM.

>> PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN AT 6:53 PM.

DIDN'T HAVE ANY SPEAKER'S CARDS ON THIS.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE. I WILL DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED. THE TIME MS. GRANGER?

>> 6:54 PM.

>> I WAS HOPING WE GET THAT. 6:54 PM. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

I WOULD NOTE FOR THE RECORD. COUNCIL DOES HAVE COPIES OF THESE.

WE DID HAVE THREE FORMAL PROTESTS FOR THE PID TAX ASSESSMENT FROM MR. FARGE. I KNOW I'M SAYING THAT WRONG.

THEN ALSO FROM MR. MELSON, AND ALSO FROM MR. EGAS.

I KNOW I BUTCHERED THOSE. I APOLOGIZE IF I DID.

BUT COUNCIL HAS A COPY OF ALL THREE OF THOSE, AND THAT IS WE'LL BE ENTERED INTO THE RECORD.

WITH THAT, DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR MS. PETTY OR MS. NASH. MS. HOWARTH.

>> JUST A COUPLE OF SOMETHING THAT THE COMPLAINTS OR THE PROTESTS WE GOT COMPLAINED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE A BUDGET FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION.

IS THAT A PUBLIC DOCUMENT THAT THEY CAN FIND SOMEWHERE?

>> MS. PETTY WILL ANSWER THAT.

>> YES, MA'AM. IT'S ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THIS DOCUMENT, I BELIEVE PAGE 43.

YES, MA'AM. IT'S EXHIBIT E TO THE DOCUMENT.

IT IS LABELED O&M BUDGET.

>> THAT WENT OUT TO ALL THE HOMEOWNERS, SO THEY CAN GO TO IT FROM A WEBSITE?

>> THEY CAN GO TO IT FROM THE WEBSITE.

IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS AGENDA IN WHICH THE COUNCIL CALLED THE RESOLUTION TO PUBLISH THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE, I BELIEVE JULY.

FOR INDIVIDUALS TO BE ABLE, AND I'D HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE HAD SOME SHUFFLING OF DATES, BUT IT'S REQUIRED TO BE APPROVED BY YOU FROM THE STANDPOINT OF AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.

[00:25:04]

IT WAS ON A PREVIOUS AGENDA WHEN THEY CALLED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> IF A HOMEOWNER LOOKS THAT UP, THEY CAN SEE EVERYTHING THAT THAT MONEY THAT'S ON THAT ASSESSMENT SPENT ON?

>> CORRECT. LINE ITEM BY LINE ITEM. YES, MA'AM.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? MR. PRESENBERG?

>> YES, MA'AM.

>> YES. IT ONE MORE QUESTION.

SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU KEEP WALKING.

>> NO. THAT'S OKAY.

>> I SEE LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE COMPLAINTS OR WHATNOT OR PROTESTS.

JUST FROM MY OWN UNDERSTANDING, IS THE PID TAKING THE PLACE OF HOA?

>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. IT'S ACTUALLY IN CONCERT WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

THERE'S CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES THAT A HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION HAS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL.

THERE'S A CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION HAS FOR THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT.

THEN THERE IS A CERTAIN LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE CITY HAS TO MAINTAIN CERTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WAS FINANCED THROUGH THE ORIGINAL CAPITAL PID.

YET, THE CITY HAS TO OWN THAT BECAUSE OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES.

THE O&M ASSESSMENT IS COLLECTED IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THOSE COMPONENTS.

>> BUT WHAT I'M SEEING ON AVERAGE, LIKE FOR $500,000 HOME OR APPRAISED VALUE OR WHATNOT, 250, 260 A YEAR EXTRA.

THAT MONEY GOES TO WHAT WE HAVE IN THIS DOCUMENT THAT YOU SAID, PAGE 43 OR WHATNOT OR 44.

I THINK I LIVE IN HOA, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN THIS.

HAVING THIS EXTRA STEP, I THINK MIGHT CONFUSE SOME FOLKS.

BUT I THINK AS COUNCILWOMAN HOWARTH SAID, IT'S ALL SHARE THIS DOCUMENT.

YOU HAVE A PLACE FOR THEM TO GO SEE.

I THINK IT'S JUST ALL ABOUT COMMUNICATION.

THANK YOU FOR THIS APPRECIATE.

>> YES, SIR. IT IS AVAILABLE ONCE THE APPROVAL OCCURS, IT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR.

ANYONE CAN LOOK AT THE PASS VERSION OR THEY CAN LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL THAT LEVIED THE FIRST ASSESSMENT. YES, SIR.

>> MR. MELSON.

>> JUST A COUPLE OF ENLIGHTEN ME A LITTLE BIT.

THE PID, AS YOU SAY, IS AS THE OTHER COUNCILMAN MENTIONED, IT'S BASICALLY OPERATED AS AN HOA AS FAR AS THE SESSION DEVELOPMENT. IN SIMPLE TERMS.

>> IN SIMPLE TERMS, IT HAS AN HOA COMPONENT AND THAT IT PROVIDES MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE.

>> IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON THE PID, OR IS IT HAS TO BE RENEWED EACH YEAR?

>> GREAT QUESTION. YOUR CAPITAL PID WAS UTILIZED TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS AND FINANCE BONDS THAT PAID FOR THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT ONE IS LIMITED, AND THAT ONE CAN BE PREPAID AT ANY TIME.

A HOMEOWNER CAN COME IN AND SAY, I DON'T WANT TO PAY THIS, I WANT TO PAY IT OFF. THEY CAN PAY IT.

AN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PID, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE TIED TO A BUDGET, AND THOSE BUDGETS CHANGE YEAR OVER YEAR, IT HAS TO BE UPDATED EVERY YEAR.

YOU HAVE TO UNDER THE STATUTE, CALL A PUBLIC HEARING EVERY YEAR, PUBLISH THE BUDGET, PROVIDE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS TO SEE THAT AMOUNT AND THEN WHAT IT'S BEING EXPENDED ON.

IT'S UPDATED EVERY YEAR.

NOW, IF AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, A MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE PID, THEY COULD PETITION FOR THAT INFRASTRUCTURE TO NO LONGER BE MAINTAINED.

BUT BECAUSE THE CITY USED PUBLIC DOLLARS TO FINANCE THE INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN IT, BUT IT'S FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT IT'S THROUGH AN O&M PID, AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND.

THE SPECIAL BENEFIT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS IS ISOLATED TO THAT IMPROVEMENT AREA OR THAT DEVELOPMENT.

>> IF THE PROPERTY OWNERS DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO PROPOSE WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED AS A POSSIBILITY, HOW DO THEY PHYSICALLY GO ABOUT DOING THAT?

>> THEY WOULD ALL HAVE TO AGREE TO HAVE IT NO LONGER PART, AND THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TO AGREE TO TRANSFER THAT COST TO THEIR GENERAL FUND.

>> HOW WOULD IT AFFECT THE REST OF THE STATION COMPLEX, THE COMMERCIAL PART OF IT, THEN?

>> YOU CANNOT SEPARATE IT.

>> YOU CANNOT. IF THE PROPERTY OWNERS DECIDE THEY WANT TO DO IT IN PETITION, THEN THE PID WOULD BE TERMINATED ONCE IT WAS PAID OFF?

>> NO. THE CAPITAL PID WOULD TERMINATE ON ONCE IT'S PAID OFF. THAT'S A TRUE STATEMENT.

THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TO TRANSFER THAT OBLIGATION TO ALL THE OTHER RESIDENTS WITHIN THE CITY IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THAT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PID.

>> BECAUSE I BASICALLY, I DON'T THINK THE CITY SHOULD BE IN THE BUSINESS OF MANAGING, "HOA FOR A COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE." I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMEHOW THAT

[00:30:02]

THE DEVELOPER TAKE IT BACK OVER AND THEY HANDLE IT THEMSELVES AT SOME POINT.

IS THAT A POSSIBILITY?

>> NO, BECAUSE YOU OWN THE ASSETS THAT YOU'RE MANAGING.

WHAT'S BEING MANAGED IS THE CITY'S ASSETS THAT WERE FINANCED THROUGH THE CAPITAL PID.

THE CITY IS THE OWNER OPERATOR.

BUT BECAUSE IT WAS FOR A SPECIAL PURPOSE THAT PROVIDES A SPECIAL BENEFIT TO THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WAS SPECIFIC TO THE DEVELOPMENT, WHETHER IT WAS THROUGH THE ZONING THAT WAS REQUESTED BY THE DEVELOPER OR THE ENHANCEMENTS THE DEVELOPER DESIRED TO BE PART OF THE PROJECT IN ORDER TO UTILIZE THE OPPORTUNITIES OF A PID, THE CITY RIGHTFULLY SAID THE DOLLARS THAT ARE NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THAT WOULD BE PRODUCED BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SPECIAL BENEFIT.

THAT'S WHAT CHAPTER 372 IS PURPOSE IS THAT THE SPECIAL CONFERRED BENEFIT IS ISOLATED TO THOSE THAT RECEIVE THAT SPECIAL BENEFIT.

>> BECAUSE READING SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WAS SENT IN.

THEY PAY TAXES JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS DO.

THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THEIR PROPERTY, JUST LIKE OTHER TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR MAINTENANCE OF THEIR SHARE OF THE PROPERTY.

NOW THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE BEING TAXED AGAIN.

LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THEY HAVE A VALID CONCERN IN SOME CASES, SINCE WE'RE LEVYING ADDITIONAL TAXES ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT OTHER COMMERCIAL ADVENTURES ARE RESIDENTIAL VENTURES AND TAXES IN THE CITY IS GETTING TAXED.

>> LET MS. NASH ADDRESS THAT.

>> I JUST WANT TO JUST MAKE AN IMPORTANT POINT HERE BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING BENEFITS ABOVE AND BEYOND, WHAT OTHER RESIDENTS ARE GETTING BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF LIGHTING TREATMENTS, STREET TREATMENTS.

THEY HAVE THINGS WITHIN THE STATION THAT ARE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE RESIDENTS GET IN OTHER COMMUNITIES IN THE CITY.

THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE O&M PID IS PAYING FOR IS FOR ALL OF THOSE ADDITIONAL THINGS WITHIN THE STATION THAT OTHER RESIDENTS ARE RECEIVING THE BENEFIT FOR.

>> THEY COULD COLLECTIVELY ASK FOR A MEETING AND SAY, WE REALLY DON'T WANT THAT ANYMORE.

>> BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE ALL THE RESIDENTS.

>> IT WOULD IT BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY UNDO THE PID THE SAME WAY ONCE CREATED.

THE LAND OWNER CREATES IT WHEN THERE USUALLY IS ONLY ONE OR TWO LAND OWNERS BECAUSE THEY ALL AGREE THAT THAT'S THE NEXT STEP.

BUT CURRENTLY, BECAUSE YOU HAVE FEDERAL YOU HAVE TAX EXEMPT BONDS OUTSTANDING, AND I'M NOT YOUR BOND COUNCIL, BUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TAX DOLLARS OUTSTANDING THAT WERE UTILIZED TO FINANCE THE ROADWAYS AND THOSE COMPONENTS, YOU, THE CITY, AS THE OWNER OF THOSE ROADS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THEM, BUT THEY'RE AT BEING MAINTAINED AT A HIGHER STANDARD.

PER THE REQUEST OF THE LAND OWNERS, ETC.

AS PART OF THE ADDED BENEFIT TO THAT PROPERTY.

THAT'S WHAT THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PID IS UTILIZED FOR IS THOSE ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS TO MS. NASH'S POINT OVER AND ABOVE WHAT NORMALLY IS MAINTAINED IN OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> ONE MORE QUESTION, YOU ALLUDED A WHILE AGO TO THE FACT THAT THEY WANTED TO MAKE CHANGES THAT, I'LL HAVE TO AGREE TO IT.

ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT WE HAVE TO BE 100% VOTE TO MAKE THE CHANGE OR A MAJORITY VOTE.

>> REMEMBER THAT THE PID IS A BOUNDARY.

IT'S NOT A SEPARATE POLITICAL SUBDIVISION.

IT'S JUST A BOUNDARY IN WHICH THE CITY COUNCIL THAT YOU ALL TAKE THE ACTIONS THAT IMPACT AND AFFECT IT.

THE PROPERTY OWNERS CAN SUBMIT, JUST LIKE ANY RESIDENT OR ANY PROPERTY OWNER IN THE CITY CAN SUBMIT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OR TO STAFF ANY COMMENTS OR ANY ISSUES THAT THEY WOULD WISH TO ADDRESS.

I WOULD ASSUME IT WOULD GO THROUGH THE NORMAL PROCESS OF OF THE STAFF ADDRESSING THAT AND BRINGING IT TO THE COUNCIL'S ATTENTION.

>> JUST TO PUT A BOW ON THAT, ULTIMATELY, IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN, THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE THAT.

>> YES. BECAUSE YOU ARE THE DE FACTO.

IT IS THE CITY'S PID BECAUSE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ASSETS AND MAINTAINING THEM TO THE REQUEST AT HIGHER LEVEL.

>> BUT JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT VERY WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF DATES THAT WE COULD START THERE AND GET TO US EVENTUALLY.

BUT AS YOU SAID, WE WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE ARBITER OF WHETHER WE WANT TO DO THAT OR NOT.

>> CORRECT.

>> THANK YOU. MR. FRANKS.

>> I DON'T THINK THIS IS YOUR QUESTION. JUST IN CASE.

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, I'M READING THE MAP, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE HOSPITAL IS NOT IN IT, BUT THE MOB IS.

CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT THAT'S ACCURATE?

>> YES. YOU ARE CORRECT.

>> IT WAS A QUESTION FOR YOU, AREN'T?

>> SORRY.

>> YOU'RE RIGHT. WHEN THE PID WAS INITIALLY CREATED,

[00:35:04]

THAT PROPERTY WAS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT OWNED BY THE INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT GROUP THAT WAS DOING THE ENTIRE STATION PID.

HOWEVER, SUBSEQUENT TO THE PIDS CREATION, THE PROPERTY WITHIN THE PD ADJACENT TO THE HOSPITAL WAS SOLD OFF TO THE MOB DEVELOPER.

THEY DID DEVELOP, AND THEY DO HAVE A PID ASSESSMENT, AND THEY BEING THE MOB, DOES PARTICIPATE IN BOTH THE CAPITAL PID AND THE O&M PID.

>> PERFECT. THANKS.

>> YES, SIR.

>> MS. PETER.

HI, THERE. CAN YOU GO OVER THE PROCESS IN WHICH IF YOU WERE TO BUY A NEW HOME IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, HOW WOULD YOU AGREE TO THE PID? IS THIS SOMETHING YOU SAID THAT THIS HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2020 SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE DEVELOPMENT? WHEN ALL THESE RESIDENTS MOVED IN, THEY DID AGREE TO THE PID PREVIOUSLY?

>> YES, MA'AM. EXCELLENT QUESTION.

WITH THE CREATION OF THE PID AND THE FIRST LEVY, NOTICES WERE REQUIRED TO BE SENT OUT.

EVERY YEAR, THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN IS FILED IN THE REAL PROPERTY RECORDS, BUT MORE THAN THAT, THE PROPERTY TAX CODE WAS CHANGED SEVERAL YEARS AGO TO REQUIRE MANDATORY DISCLOSURE.

THERE'S TWO TYPE OF DISCLOSURES.

A HOME OWNER WHO IS PURCHASING A PROPERTY.

THERE'S USUALLY TWO STEPS, YOU ENTER INTO A CONTRACT, AND THEN YOU HAVE A DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD.

AT THE FIRST ENTERING OF A CONTRACT, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A DISCLOSURE GIVEN TO YOU.

THAT DISCLOSURE IS ACTUALLY ATTACHED TO THIS DOCUMENT.

WHEN IT'S FILED IN THE REAL PROPERTY RECORDS, REALTORS OR TITLE COMPANIES CAN FIND THAT CORRECT DISCLOSURE AND UTILIZE IT.

THAT'S THE FIRST ROUND OF DISCLOSURES.

THE SECOND DISCLOSURE ACTUALLY COMES AT THE TIME OF THE CONTRACT BEING FINALIZED AND MONEY, EXCHANGING HANDS.

THAT DISCLOSURE IS NOTARIZED AND THAT DISCLOSURE IS ACTUALLY FILED IN THE REAL PROPERTY RECORDS.

EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT'S BUYING PROPERTY, NOT JUST A HOMEOWNER, BUT EVEN A COMMERCIAL OR RETAIL PROPERTY, THEY ALL HAVE TO GET THE SAME DISCLOSURE.

THE DISCLOSURE IS ALL TIED TO THE TAX PARCEL ID FROM THIS DOCUMENT, AND SO THEY CAN GO LOOK IT UP.

AGAIN, IT'S ON OUR WEBSITE SO THEY CAN ACCESS IT.

THERE'S A BUTTON THAT ACTUALLY SAYS DISCLOSURE FORMS, AND THEY CAN PULL DOWN THE DISCLOSURE AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT ONES.

BUT YES, MA'AM. THOSE ARE ALL REQUIRED TO BE DISCLOSED TO DIFFERENT PLACES DURING THAT REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION.

>> COUNCILMAN [INAUDIBLE], JUST ASKED MY QUESTION, SO I'M GOOD. THANK YOU.

>> YES, MA'AM.

>> MR. PRESENBERG.

>> SHE STOLE MINE TOO YOU. I WAS ABOUT TO ASK IT, SO GOOD JOB, MS. BULLER.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? I THINK YOU CAN SIT DOWN NOW, BUT [OVERLAPPING].

>> OKAY.

>> DON'T GO FAR. I HAD A PUBLIC HEARING, HAVE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OF STAFF.

OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. LINDSAY?

>> YES SO AS WITH ALL SPECIAL USE PERMITS, THE PARTICULAR APPLICANT COULD CHANGE, SO WHO'S PRESENT AS THE APPLICANT TONIGHT? SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN AND ANOTHER APPLICANT COULD COME IN UNDERNEATH THE SUP OR ANOTHER PLACE OF BUSINESS.

>> CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT?

>> I THINK THAT'S A QUESTION FOR MR. ROBINSON.

>> YES. THAT IS CORRECT.

AN SUP RUNS WITH THE PROPERTY, SO IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS AN SUP FOR A DAYCARE.

IF ANOTHER DAYCARE DECIDES TO LEAVE ANOTHER DAYCARE COULD COME INTO PLACE, JUST AS IF YOU ALWAYS USE THE ANALOGY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO ISSUE AN SUP FOR A DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT.

IT'S MCDONALD'S. MAYBE, JOE'S SUBSHOP, FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.

IT'S THE SUP FOR A RESTAURANT THAT YOU'RE FOCUSED ON NOT THE BRAND.

>> I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A SUBSHOP [LAUGHTER].

>> UNKNOWN SECRET. JUST TO CLARIFY, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE SAME LAYOUT WITHIN THE SAME SQUARE FOOTAGE.

IT COULDN'T INCREASE SQUARE FOOTAGE WITHOUT COMING BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR THE BOAT.

>> BUT TO MR. LINDSAY'S POINT, THEY COULDN'T CHANGE OPERATIONS.

AS LONG AS THEY DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING, THEY WOULDN'T COME BACK TO[OVERLAPPING] CORRECT?

>> YOU PROBABLY KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT THE APPLICANT, I'M SURE, AS WELL.

THIS IS REALLY A SHELL BUILDING, IT'S NOT A PURPOSE BUILT BUILDING LIKE SOME OF THE LARGER DAYCARE FACILITY THAT WE HAD.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THE PLANNING ZONING MEETING A SUITE AT THE END THAT WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT TEN IN IT, AND THE REST OF THAT SHELL BUILDING WILL BE THIS DAYCARE.

>> THAT'S CORRECT, SO IF THEY WANTED TO EXPAND WITHIN THAT SHELL BUILDING TO PICK UP THE ENTIRE BUILDING, IT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE THE COUNCIL FOR A REVISED SUP.

>> THEN I'M ALSO LOOKING AT FUTURE USES.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE TRENDS CHANGE IN OUR AREA TEN YEARS FROM NOW, AND WHAT SOME AREAS HAVE SEEN AT LEAST WITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HAVING CLOSED DOWN JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T HAVING AS MANY KIDS AS THEY ONCE HAD THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING, IT COULD EASILY BE REPURPOSED.

THAT SUITE COULD BE REBUILT OUT AND CONVERTED TO ANOTHER TYPE OF BUSINESS FAIRLY EASILY.

>> CORRECT. IT COULD BE REPURPOSED BACK INTO ANOTHER RETAIL STRIP CENTER OR RETAIL BUILDING.

[01:00:02]

IF YOU RECALL BACK ON MILES ROAD, THERE WAS A SUP FOR A VIRTUAL REALITY CENTER.

THAT NEVER WENT IN, SO IT'S STILL VACANT FOR ANOTHER USER.

OR IF SOMETHING ELSE WANTED TO GO IN AT A LATER DATE, AS LONG AS IT'S ALLOWED UNDER THE ZONING, IT WOULD BE ALLOWED.

>> THEN FROM ATTENDING THAT PNC MEETING, THE ONLY CONCERNS I HEARD WAS THE CONTINUITY OF THE BRICK WALL FENCE BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORS, SO I THINK THAT WAS WELL ADDRESSED.

I WAS GOING TO MAINTAIN THAT CONTINUITY.

THERE WAS ALSO THE QUESTION OF THE DISTANCE TO THE LIQUOR STORE THERE, THE SPECS THERE, AND IT'S WELL OUTSIDE THE LEGAL LIMIT AS WELL.

>> AS FAR AS DAYCARES GO, SINCE THEY'RE THE ONES GOING IN, THEY'RE NOT THE ONES SUBJECT TO THAT DISTANCE REQUIREMENT.

IT'S THE ACTUAL LIQUOR STORE ITSELF THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THAT REQUIREMENT.

>> THEN JUST AS FAR AS USES, THE IMPACT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT USE TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES BECAUSE ALL OF THE ACTIVITY IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE DURING THE DAY AND THEN BY THE TIME EVENING ROLLS AROUND, THEY TYPICALLY WILL NOT HAVE ANY TRAFFIC THERE EXCEPT FOR MAYBE ON SPECIAL PRESENTATION NIGHTS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I WOULD IMAGINE.

ALL IN ALL, I LOVE THE CONCEPT.

I HOPE IT GOES THROUGH, AND WE SEE THIS.

A LOT OF US TOOK SPANISH CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND REMEMBER ZERO OF IT.

IF WE CAN TAKE, 70% OF NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS AND IMMERSE THEM IN SPANISH, AND MAYBE THAT LANGUAGE WILL STICK WITH THEM.

IT'S VERY INTRIGUING, BUT I DEFINITELY AM BASING THIS DECISION OFF OF THE USE AS A DAYCARE.

I REALLY DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES WITH IT.

I APPRECIATE THAT STAFF BROUGHT IT FORWARD WITH THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE OTHER ADJOINING DAYCARE, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE FINE.

>> COULD YOU PASS SPANISH ONE AGAIN. SAY NOTHING.

>> [FOREIGN].

>> I COULDN'T EITHER [INAUDIBLE]. MAYOR PRESIDENT FRANKS.

>> I THINK AS WE DO FROM TIME TO TIME, WE GET IN THE WEEDS AND TALK ABOUT THINGS AND WHAT THIS IS NOT ABOUT.

THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A ZONING SUP REQUEST, NOT A USE, NOT A NEED OF THE COMMUNITY.

I KNOW THAT THEY BROUGHT THAT FORTH, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

AS I LOOK AT OUR TRUSTY GOOGLE MAP THAT WE GO TO, THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH, ESSENTIALLY DAYCARE WITHIN A HALF A MILE RADIUS THAT I FOUND.

THIS IS ONE OF OUR FEW COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES THAT HASN'T BEEN DEVELOPED, AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GUIDE THIS THE WAY WE WANT, AND THAT'S JUST NOT THE BEST USE FOR ME.

>> MS. AGNES.

>> I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER FRANKS.

I HAVE REAL CONCERNS ABOUT ANOTHER DAYCARE GOING NEXT TO A DAYCARE IN A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM A DAYCARE AND HAS A GIANT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HALFWAY DOWN THE BLOCK.

THERE'S PLENTY OF TRAFFIC.

I WOULD AS A COUNCIL MEMBER WITH LIMITED COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AVAILABILITY IN THIS CITY, I REALLY DON'T THINK THIS IS HIGHEST AND BEST USE.

>> MS. BEELER.

>> I ALSO WAS INITIALLY CONCERNED WITH THIS USE TAKING UP OUR VALUABLE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, BUT THIS BEING USED AS A CATALYST TO ACTIVATE THE OTHER ADJACENT AREAS WITH THAT FOOT TRAFFIC, I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.

DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.

I KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE ENROLLED MY KIDS IF THAT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG, SO I SUPPORT THIS.

>> MR. PRESENBERG.

>> I HAD A QUESTION ON JUST THE DESIGN OR THE LAYOUT.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FOR YOU OR WHO, BUT I'VE ZOOMED IN ON 20 OF YOUR DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.

I DO SEE SOME OR LIKE YOU SAID ADJACENT TO OTHER CHILDCARE FACILITIES, BUT WHAT MAKES YOU DECIDE IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OUTDOOR PLAYGROUND OR NOT? I KNOW THIS IS MORE OF A USE THING, BUT JUST CURIOUS FROM LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD STANDPOINT, THERE'S SOME LOOK LIKE THEY'RE ALL CONTAINED.

THEN THERE'S SOME LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE A DECENT SIZED PLAYGROUND ATTACHED.

>>WE NEED TO DEVELOP A PLAYGROUND, PROVIDE A PLAYGROUND FOR THE CHILDREN.

BECAUSE OF THE BUILDING SIZE THAT THEY'RE AFTER, THEY REALLY WANT TO UTILIZE THAT INTERIOR CORRIDOR FOR THEIR INDOOR ACTIVITIES.

THE ANSWER TO THAT IS, LET'S PUT AN OUTDOOR PLAYGROUND IN PLACE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS BUILDING IS, WELL, I CAN'T TELL IT HERE, BUT IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER THAN THE DAYCARE NEXT DOOR.

TYPICALLY THE PLAYGROUNDS FOLLOW THE BUILDING SIZE.THIS I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT 1,000 SQUARE FEET RIGHT THERE, AS YOU CAN SEE, ON THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY LINE THERE.

THIS IS THE PLAN THAT WE THINK IS GOING TO BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FOR THE SCHOOL AND MOST SUCCESSFUL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT IN TOTAL.

[01:05:01]

>> THANK YOU. I GOT MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.

I LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ALTERNATIVES THAT WE HAVE. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR PRESIDENT FRANKS.

>> THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THE PRESENTATION IS I THINK THIS IS A DEVELOPER AND A FRANCHISEES DREAM TO PUT A DAYCARE RIGHT BEHIND A MCDONALD'S.

UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T WANT A MCDONALD'S. THAT'S GOING TO COME.

IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT THEM, BUT THAT'S NOT A THING THAT I WANT.

I WANT A MORE DESIRABLE LOCATION, SO IF YOU'RE TRYING TO ENTICE ME WITH MORE DEVELOPMENT, IT'S GOT TO BE BETTER THAN FAST FOOD.

>> MS. ROBSS, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

IN YOUR STAFF REPORT, YOU MENTIONED THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

FROM WHAT I READ FROM YOUR REPORT, NO CONFLICTS THERE.

DEFINITELY A CONSISTENT USE WITH WHAT.

THEN THE BIG BACK ON WHAT MR. LINDSAY SAID, IT IS A NICE BUFFER USE FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.

I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS ABOUT OUR RETAIL SPACE.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THAT LEFT.

AT LEAST IN MY EXPERIENCE, IT'S NOT AN IDEALLY GREAT PLACE FOR RETAIL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE THE FRONTAGE ON 78 OR WOOD REF WAY.

FOR ME, I THINK WHEN YOU COMBINE ALL THOSE THINGS, I DO LIKE THE CONCEPT.

I THINK THAT'S GREAT. I THINK IT'S A USE THAT FITS WHERE IT'S PROPOSED BASED ON THOSE BUFFER FUNDED RESIDENTS.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE BEST RETAIL OF PAD, SO I DEFINITELY THINK IT'S A GOOD USE, SO I WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT IT.

IT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

MORE OF A COMMENTARY, I GUESS. DEFINITELY HAD TO DISCUSS.

WHEN WE NEED TO DISCUSS IT MORE, WE CAN.

IF NOT, WE'LL ENTERTAIN MOST. MR. LINDSAY?

>> YES, SIR. I MAKE A MOTION OR YOU APPROVE ITEM E2 AS PRESENTED.

>> MOTION BY MR. LINDSAY TO APPROVE ITEM 2 IS PRESENTED TO SECOND. MS. BEELER.

>> SECONDED BY MS. BEELER. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE. CAST YOUR BALANCE.

>> MOTION FAILS WITH MR. FRANKS VOTING NO. MISS HOWARD VOTING NO.

MR. MILLSAP VOTING NO, AND MR. PRESENBERG VOTING NO. MOTION DOES FAIL.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, ITEM 3,

[3. Consider an ordinance of the City Council of Sachse, Texas, authorizing certain budget and Capital Improvement Plan amendments pertaining to the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget and Capital Improvement Plan; and providing an effective date.]

CONSIDER AN ORDER SO THE CITY OF SACHSE, TEXAS, AUTHORIZE IN CERTAIN BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS PERTAINING TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2024, 2025 BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND PROVIDED AN EFFECTIVE DATE. MISS NASH.

>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION HERE FOR THE FY 24, 25 BUDGET AMENDMENTS THAT DAVID BALDWIN WILL NEED TO GO OVER WITH YOU.

BUT YOU'LL SEE ONCE WE WORK THROUGH THIS ITEM, AS WE HAVE TO MAKE THESE AMENDMENTS TO THE CURRENT BUDGET, WE WILL MOVE VERY QUICKLY INTO THE ADOPTION OF THE 25, 26 BUDGET, RATIFYING THE PROPERTY TAX RATE AND GOING THROUGH THE OTHER PROPERTY TAX ITEMS. WE'RE GOING TO DO ALL OF THESE IN RAPID SUCCESSION AS WE DO EVERY YEAR.

BUT DAVID DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION HERE ABOUT THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS THAT HE WILL BRIEFLY GO OVER AND THEN GO THROUGH THE OTHER ITEMS, REALLY AVAILABLE TO BE ANSWERING QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU MISS NASH. HELLO, MR. BALDWIN.

>> HELLO, MAYOR. COUNCIL. CLEARING THE WAY FOR THE FUTURE BUDGET, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT BUDGET AND GO OVER SOME BUDGET AMENDMENTS.

THE CURRENT BUDGET WAS ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 16, 2024.

I CAME TO YOU ON APRIL 21 WITH BUDGET AMENDMENTS, AND I'M BACK TO YOU TODAY REQUESTING FURTHER BUDGET AMENDMENTS.

I BRING TO YOU FOUR DIFFERENT FUNDS THAT WE ARE REQUESTING BUDGET AMENDMENTS IN.

THE FIRST ONE IS IN THE GENERAL FUND.

WE ARE REQUESTING EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR PREVIOUSLY UNBUDGETED REVENUE.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, FIRE RESCUE STAFF PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO JURISDICTIONS IN NEED APRIL THROUGH JULY.

FOR THESE VARIOUS EVENTS, THEY WERE HELPING WITH EXTREME FLOODING AND SEVERE WEATHER.

THOSE DEPLOYMENTS INCLUDED PAYROLL COSTS, TRAVEL, FOOD, AND LODGING.

ALL OF THOSE COSTS ARE 100% REIMBURSABLE BY TDEM OR THE TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

AS REVENUE IS COMING IN FOR EXPENDITURES THAT ALREADY HAPPENED, WE'RE REQUESTING THAT ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY ON THOSE FUNDS. ON THE NEXT ONE.

THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND.

WE'RE REQUESTING EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR A PREVIOUSLY UNBUDGETED PROJECT.

FUNDS WERE PREVIOUSLY TRANSFERRED FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, BUT NO PROJECT OR SPECIFIC EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY WAS REQUESTED AT BUDGET ADOPTION,

[01:10:02]

SO THIS IS JUST REQUESTING A PROJECT TO EXPEND THE FUNDS ALREADY TRANSFERRED TO THE CAPITAL PROJECT FUND.

IT IS A NEW PROJECT, PROJECT F2513, WHICH IS THE EDC STRATEGIC PLAN.

IN THIS ONE, IT IS A REQUEST FOR THE BUDGET AMENDMENT, SO INCREASING THE FUND APPROPRIATION AND ALSO ADDING THE PROJECT, SO IT WOULD IMPACT ALSO EXHIBIT B OF THE ADOPTED BUDGET DOCUMENT.

IN THE IMPACT FEE FUND, WE'RE REQUESTING EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR TRANSFER OF REMAINING FUND BALANCE.

THERE'S CURRENTLY ONE IMPACT FEE FUND, AND WE ARE TRYING TO TRANSFER ALL OF THOSE REVENUES TO THREE SPECIFIC FUNDS, THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE FUND, THE SEWER IMPACT FEE FUND, AND THE WATER IMPACT FEE FUND.

WE'RE JUST DIVIDING THE ACTIVITY INTO SPECIFIC FUNDS TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT TO MAKE THINGS MORE CLEAR.

THAT'S THAT CHANGE, SO $300,000.

ACTUALLY, THERE WERE MORE FUNDS REMAINED IN THE IMPACT FEE FUND AT THE END OF THE YEAR THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED, 300,000 MORE OR SO, SO WE'RE JUST REQUESTING AUTHORITY TO TRANSFER THAT.

THEN WE'RE REQUESTING EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR DRAWS OF AVAILABLE FUNDS RELATING TO THE TURRIS 2 REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THE AMOUNT THAT FINANCE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET JUST WAS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE TRANSFERS THAT WERE MADE.

THERE IS FUND BALANCE TO SUPPORT THIS ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY.

WITH THAT, IF YOU ADD IT ALL UP TO THE EXISTING BUDGET, WE'RE REQUESTING AMENDMENTS OF FOUR FUNDS, AMENDING THE EXHIBIT A.

THEN THERE'S THAT ONE CHANGE TO THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BY ADDING ONE STRATEGIC PLAN PROJECT.

WITH THAT, STAFF REQUESTS THAT COUNCIL APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING CERTAIN BUDGET IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS PERTAINING TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2024, 2025 BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

>> THANK YOU, MR. BALDWIN. QUESTIONS FOR MR. BALDWIN OR STAFF FROM COUNCIL.

>> HANG JUST A SECOND, MR. BALDWIN.

DOES ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE.

ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, MOTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL. MR. PRESENBERG?

>> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM E3 AS PRESENTED.

>> I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. PRESENBERG TO APPROVE ITEM E3 AS PRESENTED.

I HAVE A SECOND, MR. LINDSAY.

>> SECOND BY MR. LINDSAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MAYOR PRO TEMS FRANKS.

>> NOW, DAVID, YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE 300K FOR IMPACT FEES BETWEEN THREE FUNDS? IS THAT EVENLY BETWEEN THREE FUNDS OR HOW IS THAT BROKEN UP?

>> APPROXIMATELY $240,000 OF THAT 300,000 WILL GO TO THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE FUND. LET'S SEE.

ABOUT 85,000 OF AUTHORITY IS NEEDED IN THE WATER IMPACT FEE FUND OR TO TRANSFER TO THE WATER IMPACT FEE FUND.

WE ARE OVER APPROPRIATED IN THE SEWER IMPACT FEE FUND SO IF YOU TAKE AWAY $25,000, THAT'S HOW YOU WOULD GET TO THE 300,000.

I'M REQUESTING AUTHORITY IN ONE FUND TO TRANSFER TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES.

>> THE 240 AND 85 DON'T MEET 300, BUT YOU'RE TAKING THE OVERAGE OF THE 25 TO EQUAL 300.

>> CORRECT.

>> THAT MAKES SENSE.

>> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO THE SECOND ON THE TABLE.

I'LL ENTERTAIN SOME VOTES.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
