Jul 07, 2025 City Council

[00:00:01]

IF IT WASN'T FOR HER LIPSTICK. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING.

TAKE IT APART. IT IS 6:30 P.M.. WE'RE GOING TO CALL THIS WORKSHOP.

[Workshop Session - 6:30 P.M. ]

AND WE DO HAVE A QUORUM. FIRST UP TONIGHT IS THE DISCUSSION OF CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. COUNCIL, IF WE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. FIRST OFF, WE HAVE INVOCATION BY COUNCILMEMBER GREEN.

WE HAVE PLEDGE TO THE FLAGS. THE MAYOR PRO TEM PATRICK KELLY.

WE HAVE A PRESENTATION OF ELECTION THAT WILL BE ITEM C ONE.

WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION AND RECOGNITION FOR PARKS AND REC.

THAT'S OUR PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH. E ONE PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE LEWISVILLE CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THE P FOR MANUFACTURING FOR FAST PHOTONICS.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE'S TOO MUCH IN THE WAY OF TOXIC STUFF.

I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO KIND OF GET A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON THAT.

SO TECHNICALLY IT'S NOT TOXIC AT ALL. OKAY. YEAH.

SO IT'S FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, BUT IT HAS TO BE LABELED AS SUCH.

BUT WE'LL GET A DETAIL FROM STAFF OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.

WE HAVE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF G2. DO WE NEED TO.

WE NEED TO PULL AN ITEM FROM. WHICH ONE WAS THAT? IT'S. NOT ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. YEAH. WE NEED TO PULL ITEM EIGHT FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.

WHY IS THIS ALL LINED OUT IN MY HEAD? OH, IT'S CROSSED OUT.

IT'S ADDED AFTER. OH, OKAY. THERE WE GO. SO IF ONE OF Y'ALL COULD CALL ITEM EIGHT AND THEN COUNCILMEMBER MEREDITH LEFT, RECUSED HIMSELF FOR US TO DISCUSS ITEM AND THEN DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH THAT.

I CAN I CAN PULL IT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO ITEM G THREE BID AWARD FOR ANNUAL REQUIREMENTS AGREEMENT FOR READY MIX CONCRETE.

923. CONSENT. AGENDA ITEM FOUR. BID AWARD FOR ANNUAL REQUIREMENT.

CONTRACT SCREENING AND RETAINING WALL MAINTENANCE. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS ONE, AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHO IS APPROPRIATE PERSON TO ASK AARON. OKAY, SO HOW MANY RETAINING WALLS DO WE HAVE? ARE YOU LOOKING AT. ARE WE JUST ARE WE JUST CHIPPING AWAY AT THEM EVERY SINGLE YEAR, AND WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET ALL THE WAY THROUGH BEFORE WE HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN.

SO WE HAVE A FIVE YEAR PLAN ON RETAINING WALLS, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IN THE FUTURE IT WILL TAKE US TO GET ALL THE WAY THROUGH, BUT WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE A REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT LIKE THIS TO HANDLE WHEN LIKE IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT AND A PANEL FALLS WHERE THE CAR DRIVES THROUGH ONE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND SO THAT THAT NUMBER IS REALLY JUST A SUM OF THE BID ITEMS BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY BID ITEMS. THIS IS REALLY JUST ESTABLISHING UNIT PRICES, OKAY.

THAT IS SOMETHING WE BUDGET EVERY YEAR AS PART OF YOUR CFP.

OKAY. SO THIS MORNING WE ADDED A LINE ITEM FOR THAT.

PART TWO OF THAT QUESTION WOULD BE PROBABLY FOR RICHER FOR OUR.

SO THESE ARE FOR RETAINING WALLS THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY AN HOA.

DOES OUR CURRENT CODE ALLOW FOR US TO CONTINUE TO ACQUIRE MORE, RETAIN RETAINING WALLS, OR DO WE REQUIRE AN HOA? WE WE DO REQUIRE IT IF IT'S STRAIGHT ZONING, BECAUSE WE CANNOT MAKE AN HOA MANDATORY UNLESS IT'S A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. AND THE ONES THAT WERE THE HOA HAS ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY OR HAS IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS BEING THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY OCCURS WITH WITH THE PD APPROVAL. SO IT'S THERE'S BOTH. BUT WE EXPECT ANY ANY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S YET TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE CITY MOST LIKELY TO BE A PD BECAUSE IT'S USUALLY A CHALLENGING PIECE OF PROPERTY.

OKAY, THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. CONSENT AGENDA ITEM FIVE THAT AWARD ANNUAL REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT FOR WOOD SCREENING AND CHAIN LINK FENCE REPLACEMENT. SO. SAME. ONLY DIFFERENT.

ITEM SIX BID AWARD. ANIMAL REQUIREMENTS. AGREEMENT FOR CLAMPS.

FITTINGS. PIPES TO FERGUSON. ITEM SEVEN INTERLOCAL COOPERATION CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF

[00:05:02]

I THINK BECAUSE IT'S DENTON THEY GET TO THEY HAVE TO FILE THIS ONE AND THEN WE GET TO PIGGYBACK ON IT.

RIGHT. SO WE'LL SPEND THE MONEY AND THEN THEY'LL REIMBURSE US AFTERWARDS.

GOTCHA. ITEM EIGHT. THAT IS THE AUTHORIZED CITY MANAGER.

ALL RIGHT. AND WE'LL PULL THAT ONE. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE ANY NEW LANGUAGE ONLINE, JENNIFER.

I JUST HAVE A STRICKEN PARAGRAPH. I'LL GIVE YOU ITEM NINE, APPROVAL OF AN INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH DENTON COUNTY, TEXAS, RELATED TO DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, EXTENSION AND FUNDING OF COMPLIANCE.

BOULEVARD. I'M TEN. RESOLUTION. CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF LEWISVILLE.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE GRANT AGREEMENT WITH CUMBERLAND YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES TO RECEIVE A PORTION OF OUR COVID EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND.

WE'RE EXACTLY WHERE THEY LOCATED AT. WHERE ARE THEY LOCATED? IN DENTON. THEY'RE IN DENTON. YES. RIGHT. BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE AT THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH ON MAIN STREET.

OKAY. AND THEY'VE BEEN IN IT FOR A WHILE. 11.

APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF A DRAINAGE EASEMENT.

QUESTIONS ON THAT. ITEM 12 VARIANCE TO CITY CODE REGARDING WAIVER OF ATHLETIC FIELD RENTAL FEES FOR OUR BATTLE OF THE BADGE.

OH, I HEAR THAT. THAT OUR POLICE CHIEF IS ASKING FOR US TO TURN THIS DOWN.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY. YOU. KNOW. GLAD TO SEE THIS ONE BACK UP AGAIN.

ITEM 13. ORDINANCES. CITY OF LEWISVILLE APPROVING ANNUAL SERVICE PLAN UPDATE.

THIS IS LAKESIDE CROSSING. SO THEY'RE NOT READY TO PAY ANY MONEY UNTIL 2026 DIVIDED BY SEVEN.

I'M NOT SURE WHEN THE FIRST PAYMENT IS DUE. I'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT. ITEM 14. CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS OF THE 2035 STEERING COMMITTEE.

SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF OPTIONS HERE. COUNCIL, IF WE WANT TO JUST GO AHEAD AND APPROVE ALL OF THE APPLICANTS, WE CAN. WE DID HAVE A SMALL GROUP THAT GOT MISSED IN THE PAPERWORK, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHERS THAT HAVE POPPED UP. SO IF WE WANT TO OUT THERE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IF WE WANT TO EXTEND THE TIMELINE FOR A COUPLE MORE WEEKS OR IF WE WANT TO JUST STOP THAT HERE, I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO BE DISCUSSED WITH.

WE WILL DISCUSS THE COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSONS BEFORE WE DO THAT. ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE'VE RECEIVED SOME ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS AND ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE FOR THE FULL STEERING COMMITTEE? OKAY. AND SOME REQUESTS. SO WHAT I MEAN, TO TO ACTUALLY.

OH, I FORGOT TO SIGN UP WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO.

OKAY, SO THE LINK IS STILL ACTIVE OR NO, NO LINK.

THAT'S ALL BEEN SHUT DOWN. REACTIVATING IT RIGHT NOW.

THAT IS CORRECT. YES, WE DO THAT ACTUALLY BECAUSE WE KNOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS.

AND YOU TOLD THEM TO BE LATE TO DO THIS. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT AND WE'RE GOING TO DECIDE HOW WE WANT TO DO IT.

IF WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO BE DONE TONIGHT, THEN WE'LL BE DONE TONIGHT.

OR DO WE WANT TO GIVE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS FOR PEOPLE TO FILL OUT AND, AND POSSIBLY BE ADDED IF WE GO THAT ROUTE? IT'S UP TO COUNCILWOMAN WHAT YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE THE OTHER WAY. DO ANOTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PUSH TO TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT IT'S REACTIVATED IF YOU DECIDE TO.

YEAH. THE OTHER OPTION HERE IS ARE THE OTHER ITEMS YOU CONSIDER IS COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSONS.

SO I'VE BEEN ASKED BY STAFF TO APPOINT SEVEN COMMITTEE CHAIR PEOPLE.

AND OF COURSE, WE'VE HAD UPWARDS OF 60 PEOPLE IN THE GROUP SAY THAT THEY WOULD EITHER BE THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE EITHER A CHAIR OR CO-CHAIR.

I THINK TONIGHT'S INTENT IS THAT WE WILL PICK SEVEN CHAIRS AND THEN, OF COURSE, CO-CHAIR IS WIDE OPEN FOR ANYBODY AT THAT POINT WITHIN THEIR COMMITTEES AND ALLOW THE COMMITTEE TO BUILD THAT, THAT PARTICULAR ONE.

BUT WE'LL DISCUSS WE'LL DISCUSS THE, THE NAMES AND WHATNOT WHEN WE'RE OUT THERE FOR THOSE SEVEN.

[00:10:07]

I DO HAVE TWO CITY STAFF REPORTS FROM DAVID ZELMAN AND MARK MCMILLAN.

AND THEN WE DO HAVE CLOSE SESSION. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, CONCERNS ABOUT TONIGHT'S AGENDA? HEARING NONE.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM B, OUR LEGISLATIVE UPDATE.

AND WE HAVE RANDY BIRD WITH BIRD ADVOCACY TO PRESENT.

THANK YOU. GO AHEAD. PLEASE. MAYOR. COUNCIL. COUNCILMAN.

TIPTON, DO YOU KNOW? YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BRANDI. THE REST OF YOU PROBABLY DO. BUT BRANDI BYRD HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING ADVOCATE FOR US IN AUSTIN THESE PAST SEVERAL SESSIONS.

AND WE WORKED HER HARD THIS YEAR. SHE TOOK YOUR PRIORITIES.

SHE FOLLOWED THEM, WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE THE LEGISLATURE HAD KIND OF THE SAME LIST.

BUT WE'VE GOT SOME SOME GOOD NEWS TO SHARE WITH YOU ON SOME OF THOSE.

AND BRANDI IS GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE PRIORITIES.

WE'LL END WITH A VERY BRIEF VIEW AT FIVE OTHER BILLS THAT PASSED AND WERE SIGNED THAT WILL HAVE SOME KIND OF OPERATIONAL IMPACT ON LEWISVILLE.

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE MORE THAN 1000 BILLS THAT PASSED.

WE'RE TOUCHED BY A NUMBER OF BILLS SO THAT BRANDI HAS THE HIGHLIGHTS.

I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO HER. THANK YOU JAMES.

SO I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT JUST ENDED JUNE 2ND.

WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL SESSION. I WANT TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCILMAN KELLY AND ALL OF YOU FOR COMING DOWN TO AUSTIN, MEETING WITH MEMBERS, TESTIFYING. THAT DEFINITELY LEADS TO OUR SUCCESS.

AND SO ALL THE STAFF TEAM, FOR ALL THE LATE NIGHT TEXT MESSAGES AND EMAILS, CLAIRE AND JAMES AND THE ENTIRE STAFF TEAM.

I COULDN'T DO THIS WITHOUT ALL OF THEM. I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE IMPACTS OF THE CITY WITHOUT THEIR INPUT.

SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP ON THAT FRONT AS WELL.

SO I JUST WANTED TO GO BACK THROUGH YOUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES THAT YOU ADOPTED, AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW THESE ENDED UP IN THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

I'M NOT GOING TO READ THEM BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEM IN A MINUTE. BUT FOR COUNCILMAN TIPTON, I WANTED TO DO A LITTLE REFRESH. SO GOING BACK TO YOUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY SALES TAX SOURCING, DESTINATION SOURCING, THERE WAS A HOUSE BILL FILED BY MORGAN MEYER.

WE KNOW BECAUSE WE WERE WATCHING IT ALL VERY CLOSELY.

THE BILL WAS VOTED OUT OF COMMITTEE, BUT NEVER MADE IT ANY FURTHER ON THE HOUSE SIDE AND DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE IN THE SENATE.

SO VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF SENATOR PARKER AND REPRESENTATIVE BUMGARNER AND LITTLE ARE HELPING IN THIS EFFORT AND BEING POISED TO TO MOVE FORWARD.

IF IT WERE TO TO GO ANY FURTHER ON THE HOUSE SIDE.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER BEFORE RIGHT BEFORE THIS IS GONE.

IT WAS VOTED OUT OF COMMITTEE LAST SESSION AS WELL AS I RECALL.

PATRICK. SO I THINK IT'S ABOUT THE SAME POINT IN THE PROCESS AS PREVIOUS SESSION AS WELL.

AND THEN THERE WAS A BILL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS ISSUE THAT WOULD HAVE CLARIFIED OR THEMSELVES OUTSOURCING.

IT NEVER RECEIVED A HEARING IN COMMITTEE, WHICH IS A SIMILAR PROCESS FROM PREVIOUS SESSIONS AS WELL.

AND THEN SOME OF THE OTHER PRIORITIES THAT YOU ADOPTED, REASONABLE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF.

I THINK OUR BIGGEST CONCERN WAS APPRAISAL CAPS AND WHAT THAT COULD DO TO THE REVENUE SIDE FOR THE CITY.

THERE WERE OVER A DOZEN BILLS THAT WERE FILED, BUT NONE OF THOSE BILLS EVER EVEN RECEIVED A HEARING IN COMMITTEE.

AND THEN I'M SURE YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PACKAGE THAT WAS PASSED BY THE HOUSE AND SENATE.

ALL OF THAT, ALL OF THE REVENUE IMPACTS FOR THOSE BILLS ARE ALL ON THE STATE SIDE.

SO I JUST WANT YOU TO BE AWARE THAT GOING FORWARD, THAT IS A HOLE IN THE STATE BUDGET THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE FILLED BY RAISING THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, BOTH FOR INDIVIDUALS AND THEN ALSO FOR SENIORS AND DISABLED AND THE BUSINESS FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS.

SO THOSE ARE THE THREE BILLS THAT WERE PART OF THAT PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PACKAGE.

THERE ARE IMPACTS TO STATE REVENUES. SO THAT DOES IMPACT EVERYTHING THAT WE DO GOING FORWARD.

I JUST WANT YOU TO BE AWARE OF THAT. AND THEN ON THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SIDE, THERE WERE OVER A DOZEN AFFORDABLE HOUSING BILLS THAT WERE FILED.

SOME OF THEM MOVED A LITTLE BIT IN THE PROCESS, NOT VERY FAR.

BUT OUR BIGGEST PRIORITY WAS THE TRAVELING HFC BILL AND CLOSING THAT LOOPHOLE.

SO THAT WAS HB 21 BY REPRESENTATIVE GATES THAT DID PASS.

THAT LOOPHOLE IS ELIMINATED. THERE IS A GRACE PERIOD THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE BILL.

SO BASICALLY ALL HFC PROJECTS OUTSIDE OF THEIR AREA.

SERVICE AREA. AS OF SEPTEMBER 1ST, THEY HAVE UNTIL JANUARY 1ST OF 2027 TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THOSE TAX EXEMPTIONS, SO AS OF JANUARY 1ST 27, THEY WILL EITHER HAVE TO DIVEST THEMSELVES OF THOSE PROPERTIES OR WORK OUT A DEAL WITH THE LOCALITIES WHERE THOSE PROJECTS RESIDE, OR WHATEVER THEY CHOOSE. BUT IT'S A 15 MONTH GRACE PERIOD THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE BILL THAT WAS PASSED.

[00:15:03]

SEPTEMBER 1ST OF THIS YEAR. AND SO THEN THEY BASICALLY HAVE A 15 MONTH GRACE PERIOD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTIES GOING FORWARD.

THAT WAS A COMPROMISE. CLAIRE AND THE STAFF TEAM WORKED ON SOME AMENDMENT LANGUAGE.

WE TRIED ON BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE SIDE TO REDUCE THAT LOOPHOLE OR TO GET SOME OF THOSE FEES BACK IN THAT INTERIM PERIOD, AND THE COMPROMISE HAD ALREADY BEEN AGREED TO AS FAR AS THE 15 MONTH GRACE PERIOD, SO THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT OUR AMENDMENT ON THAT ISSUE.

AND THEN ANOTHER PRIORITY THAT YOU ADOPTED PRIOR, PREVIOUSLY IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSION WAS STATE INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC TRANSIT.

THERE WERE THREE BILLS FILED THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN SOME EXISTING STATE REVENUES AND DEDICATED THAT TO PUBLIC TRANSIT.

ALL THREE BILLS GOT A COMMITTEE HEARING THIS SESSION, WHICH IS FURTHER THAN THEY'VE GOTTEN IN PREVIOUS SESSIONS.

THAT WAS IN THE HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION FUNDING, BUT THEY WERE NOT VOTED OUT OF COMMITTEE.

SO THAT'S AS FAR AS THEY WENT IN THE PROCESS.

BUT IT'S PROGRESS. AND THEN THE TSRTC FUNDING, THIS WAS A HUGE PRIORITY FOR US.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT DID PASS S.R. 59 BY SENATOR BIRDWELL.

IT CREATES A $850 MILLION ENDOWMENT FUND FOR TSC CAMPUSES AROUND THE ENTIRE STATE.

THAT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. SO THAT WOULD BE GOING TO THE VOTERS IN NOVEMBER.

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS THE NOVEMBER ELECTION IS COMING UP.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE PUTTING THAT INTO YOUR NEWSLETTERS AND POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VOTES ARE THERE SO THAT THAT'S APPROVED IN NOVEMBER.

AND ONCE IT IS, THEN TSRTC HAS ACCESS TO THAT FUNDING.

BUT IT IS AN ENDOWMENT FUND. AND SO THEY'LL BE UTILIZING SMALL AMOUNTS PER YEAR IN ORDER TO GROW THAT ENDOWMENT.

SO IT'S NOT A LUMP SUM. CAN I ADD ONE NOTE ON THIS ONE REAL QUICK.

JUST A REMINDER WITH THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, WE STILL ARE BOUND BY ELECTIONEERING LAWS WHICH SAY WE CANNOT SPEAK AGAINST OR FOR.

WE CANNOT ADVOCATE AGAINST OR FOR PASSAGE OF ANY BALLOT ITEM.

SO THE CITY CANNOT GO OUT THERE AND SAY, VOTE FOR THIS JUST BECAUSE WE REALLY WANT IT.

WE CAN MERELY LET PEOPLE KNOW THIS IS ON THE BALLOT AND GO VOTE.

YOU ALL HAVE YOUR SPECIAL RULES AND I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.

I'M HAPPY TO CHAT WITH YOU. I'M SURE LIZ WOULD BE HAPPY TO CHAT WITH YOU, BUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA YOU WILL NOT SEE THE CITY SAYING, HEY EVERYBODY, LET'S RALLY BEHIND THIS. THAT'S GOING TO BE LEFT TO RESIDENTS WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT BILL MEANS SO THE CITY CAN OFFER HIM PERSONALLY.

CORRECT. I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME, WHEN YOU SEE US NOT SAYING THAT.

JUST REMEMBER, WE CAN'T. AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER PRIORITIES AND SOME BILLS THAT WE WEREN'T EXPECTING BUT CERTAINLY BECAME BIG AS THE SESSION. SO THE FIRST WAS ONE OF YOUR PRIORITIES PRESERVING THE VOICE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, I.E. TAXPAYER FUNDED LOBBYING. SENATE BILL 19 DID PASS THE SENATE AND THEN WENT NOWHERE IN THE HOUSE.

SO THE GOVERNOR HAS TALKED ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY BEING AN ITEM FOR THE SPECIAL SESSION THAT'S UPCOMING.

BUT THE HOUSE POSITION HAS NOT CHANGED ON THIS ISSUE.

AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER ISSUES THAT, LIKE I SAID, WE WEREN'T EXPECTING, BECAME BIG BATTLES.

THERE WERE TWO BILLS TO EXPAND THE SUPER PREEMPTION BILL FROM LAST SESSION THAT THE DEATH STAR BILL AS IT MAY BE.

BOTH OF THOSE BILLS DID NOT GO ANYWHERE ON THE HOUSE SIDE, BUT THOSE WERE CERTAINLY THINGS WE WERE WORKING ON IN THE FINAL WEEKS OF THE SESSION.

AND BIG FIGHTS, AGAIN, APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT OF OUR ENTIRE DELEGATION.

SO WHEN YOU SEE SENATOR PARKER AND REPRESENTATIVE BUMGARDNER AND LITTLE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, PLEASE THANK THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL VERY SUPPORTIVE AND HUGE HELPS FOR US THIS SESSION.

AND THEN THERE WERE A COUPLE OF BILLS ON THE FINANCIAL SIDE THAT WOULD HAVE LIMITED YOUR ABILITY TO UTILIZE VARIOUS FORMS OF DEBT AND CAPS ON DEBTS.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF THIS. ALL OF THOSE BILLS DIED, DID NOT PASS, AND THEN THERE WERE SEVERAL BILLS THAT ALSO WOULD HAVE EXPANDED THIRD PARTY REVIEW, SO WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THIRD PARTY REVIEWERS TO REVIEW DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS THAT WOULD COME BEFORE THE CITY, BUT WITH NO CITY OVERSIGHT. AND SO WE WORKED CLOSELY AND WITH OUR DELEGATION IN DEFEATING BOTH OF THOSE BILLS AS WELL.

THEY DID NOT PASS. AND THEN THERE WERE A NUMBER OF LAND USE BILLS THAT WERE A PRIORITY FOR THIS COUNCIL, AND THEY CAME DOWN AND TESTIFIED ON SEVERAL OF THESE BILLS.

THERE WERE FOUR THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE BILL AND THE COMMERCIAL CONVERSION TO MULTIFAMILY.

THE FIRST TWO BILLS, SB 15 AND SB EIGHT, ALREADY DID PASS, BUT THEY DID PASS WITH A POPULATION BRACKET, SO THEY ONLY APPLIED TO COMMUNITIES ABOVE 150,000 POPULATION.

[00:20:04]

SENATOR PARKER WORKED VERY HARD FOR US ON THIS ISSUE.

HE WANTED 100,000 POPULATION BRACKET. THAT'S WHERE HE STARTED.

THE COMPROMISE ENDED UP ON 50. BUT CERTAINLY THAT GIVES US TWO SESSIONS BEFORE THAT BRACKET WILL APPLY TO LEWISVILLE.

SO WE THOUGHT WE GOT SOME MARCHING ORDERS ON THESE TWO ISSUES TO GET THAT BRACKET RAISED OVER THE NEXT TWO SESSIONS, AND THEN THE OTHER TWO LAND USE BILLS, THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT BILL AND THE MULTIFAMILY ON RELIGIOUS LAND BY RIGHT.

NEITHER OF THOSE BILLS PASSED, SO JUST THE FIRST TWO PASSED AND THEY PASSED WITH THE POPULATION BRACKET, THE 150,000. AND THEN THERE WERE A NUMBER OF BILLS THAT WEREN'T NECESSARILY ON OUR PRIORITY LIST, BUT DID PASS. AND THEY DO IMPACT LEWISVILLE. SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO JAMES.

AND HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW. SO STAFF HAS PULLED TOGETHER A LIST OF ABOUT 50 BILLS THAT HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON SOMETHING WE DO.

A LOT OF THEM ARE FAIRLY MINOR, HAD A TRAINING CLASS IN ONE CASE, AND A TRAINING CLASS WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT. AFTER MAYBE ADOPT A POLICY OR MAKE A CHANGE IN SOME OF OUR ORDINANCES.

THESE FIVE HAVE A LITTLE BIT LARGER IMPACTS. AND REALLY THESE ARE EXAMPLES FOR COUNCIL TO SEE.

THESE WERE NOT PRIORITY BILLS WE DIDN'T SPEND A TON OF TIME ON THEM, BUT WE WATCHED THEM.

WE WERE INVOLVED. WE DID OFFER SOME LANGUAGE IN SOME CASES, AND NOW WE HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT WAS PAST PUBLIC MEETING NOTICES.

THIS CHANGES THE CURRENT 72 HOURS TO 7 TO 3 BUSINESS DAYS.

SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME, BUT WITH WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS IS NOT SO CITY COUNCIL AGENDAS HAVE TO BE POSTED A DAY EARLIER THAN WE HAVE BEEN.

P AND Z I THINK A DAY EARLIER IN OLD TOWN DRC TWO DAYS EARLIER.

JUST THE WAY IT WORKS. SO NOT A MAJOR IMPACT, BUT IT DOES MEAN WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR PROCESSES A BIT AND GET THINGS DONE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN WE'VE BEEN DOING HISTORICALLY. MOBILE FOOD VENDORS.

THIS ONE SOUNDS HUGE BECAUSE IT BASICALLY SAYS FROM NOW ON, MOBILE FOOD VENDORS HAVE TO REGISTER AND INSPECT WITH THE STATE, NOT LOCAL. HEALTH AUTHORITIES CAME FROM A REPRESENTATIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF ODESSA AREA AND A FOOD TRUCK OPERATOR THERE WAS MAD THAT THEY HAD TO GET INSPECTED AND PERMITTED IN ODESSA AND IN MIDLAND.

THEY'RE SO CLOSE TOGETHER. IT SHOULD BE THE SAME PERMIT, SAME INSPECTION. THAT WAS THEIR POSITION.

AND A MAJORITY OF BOTH CHAMBERS AGREE. FOR US, ONE THING IT MEANS IS WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE ANY FOOD TRUCK REGULATIONS THAT GO BEYOND WHAT THE DEPARTMENTS THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES SAYS.

THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THOSE. THERE'S SOME WE ALREADY KNOW.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE AMOUNT OF TIME A TRUCK CAN STAY IN ONE PLACE.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE IT. AND CHRIS CAN CORRECT ME IF, WELL, CHRIS CANNOT CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

ASHLEY CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT IT IS BASED ON, I THINK, 1 OR 15 MINUTES AFTER THEY NO LONGER HAVE SOMEBODY STANDING AT THE WINDOW, THEY NEED TO MOVE ON. THIS IS NOW BASED ON A NUMBER OF HOURS, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO AMEND OUR ZONING ORDINANCE.

THE GOOD THING FOR US IS WE CAN STILL ENFORCE ZONING, LOCATION AND LAND USE.

AND THAT'S PARTICULARLY GOOD BECAUSE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE OTHER REGULATIONS, WE DO NOT THINK BASED ON OUR INTERPRETATION, THAT WILL AFFECT A PURPOSE BUILT FOOD COURT TRUCK, BECAUSE OUR UDC TREATS THAT AS A LAND USE.

SO WE THINK WE'RE OKAY THERE. AND WE HAVE WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO FIND OUT.

WE DO HAVE THE OPTION IF TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THE STATE WHERE WE WOULD PERFORM THE INSPECTIONS AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE US.

BUT THOSE DETAILS ARE A LITTLE BIT MURKY RIGHT NOW.

HOW THAT WOULD WORK? WOULD IT BE AT THE LEVEL OF THE OF APPROPRIATENESS IN TERMS OF THE FEES? WE DON'T KNOW RIGHT NOW IF IT BENEFITS THE CITY TO DO IT, BUT WE'LL RESEARCH THAT ONCE THE STATE SETS THEIR RULES, THE HOME BASE, KNOW THE FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS, KIND OF DOES THE SAME THING AND ELIMINATES A LOT OF FOOD ESTABLISHMENT REGULATIONS THAT CITIES TYPICALLY AND HISTORICALLY HAVE DONE. AND IT MEANS WE CAN ONLY DO WHAT THE STATE DOES IN TERMS OF ALL OF OUR INSPECTIONS AND ALL OF OUR PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS.

NOW WE'RE STILL ASSESSING IT. IT'S INTERESTING.

ONE THING IT DOES IS IT CAPS THE INSPECTION FEE AND IT CAPS THE INSPECTION FEE.

GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. THE INSPECTION FEE CANNOT BE MORE THAN $200.

OUR CURRENT FEE IS $75. SO WE'VE BEEN A BARGAIN.

MAYBE 200. SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD, FRANKLY. ONE OF THE OTHER CHANGES IS ANY CHANGE THAT WE MAKE IN THE FEE, SCHEDULE OR INSPECTION PROCESS FOR FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS, WE HAVE TO NOTIFY THE DEPARTMENT, STATE, DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH, HAVE TO TELL THE STATE AT LEAST 60 DAYS IN ADVANCE.

AND WE HAVE TO NOTIFY BY MAIL OR EMAIL ALL STAKEHOLDERS AFFECTED BY IT.

SO IF WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE PERMIT FEE FROM 75 TO 200 FOR EVERY INSPECTION, WE NOTIFY THE STATE 60 DAYS IN ADVANCE,

[00:25:01]

THE STATE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO COME IN AND SAY THAT IS EXCESSIVE, BUT IS MURKY IN HOW THEY WOULD DO THAT.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME THIS NEXT YEAR WORKING.

IT'S SIMILAR IN A WAY TO WHOO! LAST SESSION, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THEY TALKED ABOUT AGRICULTURAL USES.

I'LL BE DONE. AGRICULTURAL USES, BUT DIDN'T DEFINE IT AND SAID THE STATE WOULD DEVELOP A SERIES OF RULES TO DEFINE THEIR AGRICULTURAL USE.

AND I'M SURE THEY WILL SOMEDAY. SO WE'RE WATCHING THAT HOME BASED BUSINESSES.

WHAT'S INTERESTING HERE IS THEY CREATED TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOME BASED BUSINESSES, THOSE THAT HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THOSE THAT DON'T.

THOSE THAT DO IS BASED ON AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AND AMOUNT OF PARKING, ESSENTIALLY, AND HOURS AND NOISE, THINGS LIKE THAT. THE ONES THAT DON'T IS EVERYBODY ELSE.

FOR THE ONES THAT DO, WE STILL HAVE SOME RULES AND REGULATIONS WE CAN ENFORCE FOR THE ONES THAT DON'T.

I'M AN ACCOUNTANT. I USE MY HOME OFFICE. WE HAVE A LOT LESS AUTHORITY TO CONTROL THAT BUSINESS USE, AND WE DON'T CONTROL MOST OF THEM ANYWAY. ONE RULE WE HAVE IS YOU CAN'T HIRE OUTSIDE NON-FAMILY MEMBERS.

THAT RULE WILL HAVE TO GO AWAY BECAUSE THE STATE WILL NOT HAVE THAT RULE.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE, THE ZONING CHANGE PROTEST.

THIS WAS DESIGNED TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS TO COME IN.

IT'S AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING INITIATIVE, IS THE WAY THEY DESCRIBED IT. SO RIGHT NOW, IF 20% OF ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT TO A PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE, THAT'S ENOUGH TO BLOCK IT, AND THE CITY COUNCIL HAS TO HAVE A SUPERMAJORITY TO OVERCOME THAT.

THAT IS CHANGING FROM 20% TO 60%. AND IF THEY HIT THE 60%, A SIMPLE MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL WILL OVERCOME IT.

SO A FEW CHANGES ON NON ZONING PROTESTS. WE DON'T GET A TON OF THEM, BUT RICHARDS GROUP WILL BE WORKING HARD ON THOSE NOTIFICATION CHANGES.

AND A LOT OF THEM ARE THINGS WE ALREADY DO BY PRACTICE.

AND THEN VERY QUICKLY I JUST WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ALREADY. PLEASE REACH OUT TO SENATOR PARKER, REPRESENTATIVE BUMGARDNER AND REPRESENTATIVE LITTLE.

THEY DEFINITELY WENT TO BAT FOR US THIS SESSION.

AND THEN THE SPECIAL SESSION HAS ALREADY BEEN CALLED BY THE GOVERNOR.

IT STARTS IN TWO WEEKS ON JULY 21ST. THERE ARE SIX ITEMS ON THE CALL.

ALL BILLS THAT HE VETOED FOR VARIOUS REASONS AND WANTS TO REVISIT THE THC BAN BEING THE MOST HIGH PROFILE.

NONE OF THOSE ISSUES RIGHT NOW IMPACT US, SO WE'LL BE WATCHING THAT CLOSELY.

THE GOVERNOR CAN ADD ITEMS TO THE SPECIAL SESSION CALL AT ANY TIME DURING THE SPECIAL SESSION.

SO IT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO BE DILIGENT AND WATCH.

AND THEN THERE'S BEEN RUMORS ABOUT CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING AND ALSO POTENTIALLY DISASTER RELIEF AS A RESULT OF THE FLOODING.

AND SO WE ANTICIPATE SOME MORE ITEMS BEING ADDED TO THE CALL BY THE GOVERNOR BEFORE THE SESSION STARTS.

AND THEN 2026 ELECTIONS, THE PRIMARIES IN MARCH, THAT COMES UP QUICKLY.

WE MIGHT HAVE SOME CHANGES TO OUR DELEGATION.

WE WILL CERTAINLY HAVE A LOT OF CHANGES ON THE SENATE SIDE.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SENATORS THAT HAVE BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE BILLS THAT WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY LIKE THAT WON'T BE RETURNING, SO WE'LL BE SEEING A LOT OF NEW FACES ON THE SENATE SIDE.

THEY'RE EITHER RETIRING OR THEY'VE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY'RE SEEKING ANOTHER OFFICE.

SO JUST EXPECT A LOT OF DYNAMIC CHANGES ON THE SENATE SIDE.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, INTERIM HEARINGS WILL BE TAKING PLACE.

THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND SPEAKER WILL BE ANNOUNCING INTERIM CHARGES OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

AND THEN WE'LL BE WATCHING THAT PROCESS CLOSELY TO SEE HOW YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROCESS.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL.

I MISSED THE LOBBYISTS POINT. THEY'RE LIKE MY BILLS ABOUT LOBBYISTS.

TAXPAYER FUNDED LOBBYING. YEAH. THERE WAS ONE SENATE BILL, SENATE BILL 19, THAT WENT THE FURTHEST.

IT PASSED THE SENATE AND GOT REFERRED TO HOUSE COMMITTEE AND WENT NOWHERE IN THE HOUSE.

SO YOU'RE GOOD FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER COUPLE OF YEARS? YES, EXACTLY.

WELL, THANK YOU, BRANDY, AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE STAFF ON COUNCIL FOR GOING. AND WE REALLY RAMPED UP OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROCESS, WHICH I'M VERY PROUD OF AND GLAD THAT WE'RE DOING IT.

AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO. SO I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY FOR PUTTING THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO IT.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK. SO LET'S HAVE A LITTLE BREATHER AND WE'LL START AGAIN.

YES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO REGULAR SESSION.

WE GOT ABOUT A MINUTE TO GET BACK OUT THERE. SO PERFECT TIMING.

THANK YOU JAKE. GOOD EVENING. WE'RE GOING TO CALL THIS A MEETING OF THE LEWISVILLE CITY COUNCIL.

[D. Proclamations/Recognitions]

THAT JULY IS NATIONAL PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH.

SO WHEREAS PARKS AND RECREATION IS ESSENTIAL AND THEY RUN THEY DON'T THEY DON'T JUST WALK, THEY RUN. THIS IS OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT. IT'S AS WELL AS PARKS AND RECREATION IS ESSENTIAL TO THE HEALTH, ACCESSIBILITY, ABILITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN LEWISVILLE AND THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE RECOGNIZES PARKS AND RECREATION AS CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT STRENGTHENS

[00:40:03]

AND WHEREAS, THE LEWISVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT LEADS WITH INNOVATION AND ACCESS, TRANSFORMING PUBLIC SPACES THROUGH INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE HEALTHY INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN, POLLINATOR PRAIRIE CONVERSIONS, INCLUSIVE PROGRAMING AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES.

AND WHEREAS, THE LEWISVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT ENHANCES COMMUNITY WELLNESS BY OFFERING ACCESS TO FITNESS AND NATURE BY CONNECTING 84% OF RESIDENTS TO A PARK WITHIN A TEN MINUTE WALK OF THEIR HOMES, AND ENHANCING ENGAGEMENT AT FACILITIES THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT REFLECT THE CITY'S CULTURE AND DIVERSITY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GIVE OUR PARKS TEAM A HAND.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR GILMORE.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND PARK FANS. TYPICALLY, I HAND THIS OFF TO SOMEONE ELSE ON OUR TEAM, BUT I WANTED TO TAKE THE PRIVILEGE THIS YEAR OF DOING IT MYSELF.

BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR PARK FANS, THOSE WHO PLAY WITH US, BUT OUR PARK POLICY MAKERS, OUR PARK PARTNERS, AND THEY'RE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IN YOUR WHY WE DO IT.

I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK OUR PARK AND RECREATION PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE OUT THERE DAY IN AND DAY OUT, CREATING A SENSE OF QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF LEWISVILLE AND OUR VISITORS.

AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS GET AS MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS AS THANKS AS AS THEY THEY DESERVE, BUT THEY SET BOLD GOALS.

AND WHAT'S MORE IMPRESSIVE IS THAT THEY PURSUE THEM MORE BOLDLY THAN THE GOALS THAT THEY SET, BECAUSE THEY SET OUT A GOAL ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO TO BE THE BEST DEPARTMENT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND NOT ONLY HAVE THEY ACHIEVED THAT, THEY ARE NOW NATIONAL FINALISTS FOR THE NATIONAL GOLD MEDAL FOR PARKS AND RECREATION IN THE ENTIRE NATION FOR OUR SITES, AND ERICA AND CHRIS CHASTAIN AND THEIR TEAMS DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF PUTTING THAT THAT APPLICATION TOGETHER AND PUTTING IN A WONDERFUL VIDEO THAT EVERYONE WILL SEE SOON ABOUT HOW WE IMPACT AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

I SEE OTHER CITIES THAT DON'T FEEL THAT THEY DESERVE GREAT SPACES.

AND LEWISVILLE RESIDENTS. TIME AND TIME AGAIN, STEP UP AND SAY, HEY, WE DESERVE GOOD THINGS.

WE WANT YOU TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. BUT BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE GREAT PLACES FOR OUR KIDS, FOR OUR FAMILIES, AND NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST A BEDROOM COMMUNITY, BUT A PLACE WHERE WE REALLY ARE PROUD TO CALL HOME.

SO THANK YOU FOR FOR GIVING COUNCIL THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THOSE TYPES OF INNOVATIONS AND EXCITEMENT.

WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE BACK INTO THE REGULAR SESSION.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP ITEM E ONE PUBLIC HEARING A PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE BY GRANTING

[E. Public Hearing]

LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS RED RIVER BUSINESS PARK.

LOT ONE BLOCK A, LOCATED LOCATED AT 900 ARTHURS LANE AND ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, PROVIDING FOR A SAVINGS CLAUSE,

[00:45:02]

THE BUILDING WAS DESIGNED FOR MANUFACTURING AND WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION USES, AND ANOTHER MANUFACTURING MEDIUM INTENSITY USE OCCUPIES AN ADJACENT BUILDING.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL SIX TO NOTHING ON JUNE 17TH, 2025, AND IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE ORDINANCE AS SET FORTH IN THE CAPTION ABOVE. MR. RICHARD LEWICKI, OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR, IS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND I THINK MAYBE HAS A FEW COMMENTS ON THIS ONE.

OH, NO. WE'RE GOOD. OKAY. AND WE ALSO HAVE MR. GREG NOSH, THE APPLICANT WHO HAS A SMALL PRESENTATION.

AND MR.. IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE, SIR. GREG DE LA 500 NORTH 2000, DALLAS, TEXAS 75 201. AND I HAVE THE HONOR TO PRESENT TO YOU FAST PHOTONICS USA.

THEY MAKE AN INTERESTING LITTLE DEVICE HERE, AND THEY'RE HOPING TO DO IT HERE IN LEWISVILLE.

AND I'M GOING TO PASS THIS TO YOU. BUT THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE MAKING ABOUT 3000 OF THESE A DAY.

DO YOU WANT ME TO. MR. LUKE IS GOING TO HELP ME.

THANK YOU. BUT THIS PROPERTY IS AT ARTHUR'S LANE.

WE'RE IN ONE OF THE BUILDINGS. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE IN BUILDING ONE.

IF YOU LOOK TO THE WHAT LOOKS LIKE ON YOUR SCREEN, THE SOUTH OF BUILDING ONE, YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER BUILDING.

AND THERE IN THAT BUILDING IS WHERE THE OTHER MEDIUM INTENSITY OR MEDIUM MANUFACTURING INTENSITY SUP IS.

SO. FAST PHOTONICS USA WAS ESTABLISHED IN TEXAS IN 2024.

IT'S A US LOCATION FOR MANUFACTURING OPTICAL OPTICAL TRANSCEIVERS, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE SEEING.

IT TAKES DATA. IT TAKES RECEIVES DATA AND LIGHT BEAMS AND THEN TRANSFERS IT TO A SERVER OR TRANSFERS IT OUT OF THE SERVER AND ON THE FIBER OPTIC LINES TO TRANSMIT. IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DATA CENTERS.

IN FACT, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS THAT IN THIS BUSINESS IS ABOUT $3.3 BILLION THIS YEAR.

BY 2033, IT'S GOING TO BE A $10 BILLION BUSINESS ACROSS THE INDUSTRY.

THIS ORGANIZATION, FAST PHOTONICS USA, WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO CONTINUED DEMAND THAT THEY WANT MORE U.S.

CONTENT IN THEIR NETWORK DEVICES. AND THIS IS A WAY IN WHICH FAST PHOTONICS IS GOING TO HELP DELIVER THAT.

ITS MANUFACTURING PROCESS IS PRETTY SIMPLE. IT'S IT'S A VERY LINEAR PROCESS AND IS NOT VERY INTENSIVE.

ONCE THE EQUIPMENT IS IN PLACE, THE REASON THAT THE SUP IS ACTUALLY REQUIRED IS BECAUSE IT USES A GLUE.

SO IF YOU HAD JUST PUZZLE PIECES AND YOU WERE PUTTING PUZZLE PIECES TOGETHER, YOU WOULDN'T NEED AN SP IN THIS LOCATION.

BUT IF YOU HAD PUZZLE PIECES THAT YOU'RE PUTTING TOGETHER AND YOU'RE GLUING THOSE PUZZLE PIECES TOGETHER.

BECAUSE OF THAT GLUE AND THAT ADHESION, IT REQUIRES THE SUP FOR THAT PROCESS.

THESE ARE MANUFACTURED IN A CLEAN ROOM, AND IT INVOLVES VERY SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.

SO THEY HAVE TO BE FREE FROM CONTAMINATION. YOU'LL SEE PEOPLE IN STERILE SUITS.

THE ONLY REASON THAT THEY'RE IN THOSE SUITS IS BECAUSE OF TRYING TO KEEP EVERYTHING OFF OF THESE TRANSCEIVERS.

30 STEPS IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. 27 OF THEM ARE AUTOMATED.

BASICALLY, IT INVOLVES GLUING A MICROCHIP TO THE OPTICAL LENS, OTHER COMPONENTS ONTO A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD USING AN EPOXY, APPLYING HEAT AND UV LIGHT TO CURE THE ADHESIVE.

MELTING THE GOLD WIRE ONTO THE MICROCHIP AND THEN PACKING AND LABELING THE TRANSCEIVERS.

AND THIS IS THE CONSISTENCY OF THE PACKING AND LABELING.

THIS IS WHAT A TYPICAL PACKAGE OF HOW THEY GET TRANSPORTED.

THEY GET TRANSPORTED IN TRUCKS THAT ARE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PRIME OR AN AMAZON PRIME TRUCK DELIVERY TRUCK.

SO WE'RE NOT TALKING 18 WHEELERS EITHER FOR THE RAW COMPONENTS THAT ARE COMING IN OR FOR THE MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS ONCE THEY'RE BEING SHIPPED.

[00:50:02]

WITH REGARD TO HOW HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, THERE'S NO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS THAT ARE BEING USED OR PRODUCED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.

NONE OF THE TRUCKS OR NONE OF THE THE GLUES OR THE BOXES REQUIRE ANY SORT OF PLACARDS ON THE SIDES OF TRUCKS.

WHEN, WHEN THEY'RE BEING TRANSPORTED AND THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED TO BE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STANDARDS AS WELL, THERE'S NO NOISE PRODUCED OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.

EVERYTHING IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE BUILDING ITSELF AND THEN ALL THE COMPONENTS THEMSELVES.

THERE'S NO OUTSIDE STORAGE TO THIS. IT IS ALL STORED WITHIN THE BUILDING AS WELL.

HERE'S A GLIMPSE OF THE PICTURES OF THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY LINE FOR THESE TRANSCEIVERS.

AND JUST GIVES YOU A GLIMPSE OF OF KIND OF WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT, THAT THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF, OF WHAT YOU JUST WERE HOLDING IN YOUR HANDS. THE HOPE IS TO BEGIN PRODUCTION, ASSUMING SUCCESS TONIGHT, BEGIN PRODUCTION IN SEPTEMBER OF 2025. SO FROM THE APPROVAL TO THE PRODUCTION STANDPOINT, NOT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME.

THE INITIAL INVESTMENT IS $12.5 MILLION. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 22 EMPLOYEES PRODUCING ABOUT 25,000 UNITS A MONTH.

ULTIMATELY, THE PLAN IS TO GET TO 100,000 UNITS, AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE OVER 188 EMPLOYEES.

AND THEN YOU WOULD BE BASICALLY REQUIRING ANOTHER INVESTMENT OF 7.7 MILLION.

THE PLAN IS TO ACHIEVE THAT BY THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2026.

THERE'S NO IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING AREA. IT'S INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM A LIGHT INTENSITY MANUFACTURING THAT'S ALREADY USED THERE BY RIGHT.

IT'S ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA.

AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS A STOP JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY.

I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE.

COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH I HAVE, I HAVE A FEW.

SO SO RICHARD, AS WE SPOKE EARLIER, THERE'S A NOTE IN THE, IN THE STAFF MEMO THAT DOES TALK ABOUT HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, BUT THAT'S INCONGRUENT WITH THE SLIDE SHOW WE JUST SAW.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT DISCREPANCY, PLEASE? YES.

THAT NOTE WAS REFERRING TO SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT DESCRIBES THE CONDENSATE.

THIS BUSINESS KEEPS THE FACILITY VERY COLD AT ALL HOURS.

AND WE WERE IT WAS EXPLAINED TO STAFF THAT THAT CONDENSATE IS CHANGED OUT EACH YEAR AND IS NOT JUST CHARGED INTO OUR SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM, BUT IS COLLECTED AND REMOVED OFF THE SITE FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.

SURE, BUT ARE THERE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON SITE? I WOULD HAVE TO REFER THAT TO THE APPLICANT. THERE ARE NO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON SITE.

OKAY, SO THE STAFF MEMBER WAS A LITTLE INACCURATE I GUESS IS WHAT I'M GETTING AT. SORRY. OKAY. FANTASTIC. AND THEN I WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE COMPANY, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A $14 MILLION RAISE A SERIES B, THIS WAS A $12.5 $5 MILLION EXPANSION.

WAS MOST OF THAT SERIES B TO BE USED OUT HERE IN THIS EXPANSION? IS THAT RIGHT? I'M NOT AWARE OF THE FINANCING VEHICLE THAT'S BEING USED FOR THIS.

I KNOW THAT THE COMPANY IS EAGER TO GET STARTED AND BEGIN THEIR PRODUCTION.

OKAY. AND RICHARD, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, BUT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE EXPANSION BUY. RIGHT. THAT DOESN'T JUST GIVE CARTE BLANCHE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO AFTER AFTER THIS IS APPROVED. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHERE THAT BEGINS AND ENDS? CORRECT. THE SUP APPLIES TO THE THE PLATTED LOT.

THE PROPERTY WHICH DOES CONTAIN THE BUILDING.

SO THAT DOES GIVE THE APPLICANT THE RIGHT TO EXPAND FURTHER WITHIN THE EXISTING BUILDING.

NOW, IF THEY WERE TO EXPAND ONTO AN ADJACENT SITE, THAT WOULD REQUIRE A NEW SUP.

OKAY. AND IT'S FOR THE USE, WHICH IS THE, THE THE THE DEFINED USE IS MANUFACTURING MEDIUM INTENSITY.

OKAY. SO THE EXPANSION TO 188 EMPLOYEES DOESN'T REQUIRE ANOTHER PRESENTATION OF COUNCIL COUNSEL, AS LONG AS IT'S WITHIN THAT BUILDING THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN. THAT IS CORRECT. AND THEY WILL STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE BUILDING PERMIT AND CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY PROCESS.

SO ARE THERE OTHER CHECKS, BALANCES AND HOOPS WOULD HAVE TO ADHERE TO? TO TO EXPAND. IS THAT RIGHT? YES. OKAY. AWESOME.

I HAVE A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP AS WELL, BUT I'M GOING TO HOLD OFF. DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK FIRST? I HAD A I JUST HAD A CLARIFICATION BECAUSE I SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT IS THAT AT LEAST I'M LOOKING AT A SITE PLAN AND WE HAVE THREE BUILDINGS, BUT EACH BUILDING IS ON A SEPARATE PROPERTY.

[00:55:02]

YEAH. SO EACH BUILDING IS ON AN INDIVIDUALLY PLATTED LOT? YES. OKAY. SO THESE ARE LOT LINES THAT I'M LOOKING AT ON THIS EXHIBIT.

CORRECT. SO IT'S IF HE IF THEY WERE TO EXPAND TO BUILDING TWO, THAT WOULD REQUIRE A SEPARATE.

YUP. CORRECT. OKAY. AND SO THIS IS JUST A WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT IS JUST FOR A PORTION OF BUILDING ONE.

IS THAT CORRECT? IT IS. YES IT IS FOR BUILDING ONE.

AND THAT IT CONTEMPLATES THE ENTIRE EXPANSION OF THE 188 JOBS AND THE ULTIMATE PRODUCTION.

BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE JUST THE. YOUR FIRST PHASE IS JUST A PORTION OF BUILDING ONE.

IS THAT CORRECT? DID I READ THAT SOMEWHERE? YES.

THE NARRATIVE SAID IT WAS JUST A PORTION FOR THE FIRST PHASE, AND THEN THE SECOND PHASE WOULD EXPAND TO THE REST OF THE BUILDING.

OKAY. THE REST OF THE BUILDING. THE REST OF THE BUILDING. ONE.

YES. SO 188 PEOPLE CAN BE ACCOMMODATED AND ALL WITHIN BUILDING ONE.

CORRECT. OKAY. I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF CLARIFYING QUESTIONS AND THAT HELPS ME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO OKAY.

COUNCILMEMBER KELLY. YEAH I HAVE A SO THESE ARE QUESTIONS.

THESE ARE STATEMENTS I GUESS. AND IF ANYTHING'S WRONG HERE, PLEASE PUSH BACK, BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND. AND THIS IS ABOUT THE OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY. SO THE COMPANY IS A CHINESE ORGANIZATION.

IS THAT ACCURATE? THIS FAST PHOTONICS USA IS OWNED BY FAST PHOTONICS SINGAPORE.

OKAY. SO SO THERE THERE'S THERE IS A THERE IS A SERIES B ROUND.

THERE ARE FIVE. LOOKS LIKE FIVE MAJOR INVESTORS THAT WENT INTO THAT ROUND. ONE THAT CONCERNS ME A LOT IS CHINA UNICOM, WHICH IS PROHIBITED FROM OPERATING TELECOM IN OUR COUNTRY ANYMORE.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT AT ALL? I CANNOT SPEAK TO THAT.

SO I DO HAVE CONCERN ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THERE'S THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THE ACCORDING TO THE HOMELAND SECURITY BUSINESS ADVISORY, CHINESE FIRMS UNDER THE INTELLIGENCE LAW OF CHINA ACT IN 2017, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO SUPPORT ANY ESPIONAGE AS PART OF BEING A CHINESE CITIZEN.

IS THAT ACCURATE? YOU KNOW, I DO NOT KNOW THAT.

OKAY, I'M GOING TO PAUSE HERE AND SAY, I BELIEVE VACCINES WORK.

I DON'T THINK 5G IS ANY WORSE THAN 4G. SO I'M NOT I'M NOT TYPICALLY A CONSPIRACY GUY.

SO BUT IT DOES CONCERN ME A LITTLE BIT. AND THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FOR THIS VOTE.

AND I'M AWARE OF THAT. BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE WHO MIGHT BE LISTENING, THAT THE RESEARCH WAS DONE.

AND WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO CONSIDER ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS THE PROPER USE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PARTICULAR LOCATION.

IS THAT RIGHT, RICHARD? THAT IS CORRECT. DECISION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT HAS TO BE TESTED AND AND BASED UPON THE FIVE CRITERIA FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS FOUND IN THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.

SO I WANT TO CONTINUE THEN. CHINA UNICOM IS A STATE OWNED TELECOM OPERATOR.

IT'S BEEN BANNED IN THE US FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AND ESPIONAGE CONCERNS.

THIS WAS BACK UNDER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

ACCORDING TO THE BBC. IN JANUARY 2022, U.S. AUTHORITIES EXPLICITLY STATED THAT CHINA UNICOM POSED A THREAT TO ACCESS TO DISRUPT AND MIS ROUTE U.S.

COMMUNICATIONS. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS IS A THIS IS AN INVESTOR INSIDE OF THIS GROUP.

SO THIS ALSO MEANS THAT THERE'S THREE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS AND I'M GOING TO SCREW THIS NAME UP.

HUAWEI, ZTE AND THREE OTHER MANUFACTURERS. THEY CAN'T PRODUCE THESE TYPES OF DEVICES INSIDE THE US OF MY UNDERSTANDING.

BUT IF THEY PRODUCED HERE, THEY SEEM TO BE OKAY FOR THE TELECOM INDUSTRY.

SO THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. I'M OPEN TO BEING WRONG IF ANYBODY HAS CORRECTIONS TO THAT.

OKAY. SO NOW ACCORDING TO ROUTERS ROUTERS IN OCTOBER 2019, THE FCC REVOKED THE US AUTHORIZATION FOR CHINA TELECOM AMERICA'S, SAYING IT'S SUBJECT TO EXPLOITATION, INFLUENCE AND CONTROL BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.

SO I PUT THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE IF ANYBODY IS LISTENING, WE CAN'T CONSIDER THESE THINGS INSIDE OF A VOTE TODAY.

WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, AND I'M A BIG PROPONENT OF SEPARATION AND SEGREGATION OF DUTIES.

I'M ONE OF THE MOST OUTSPOKEN PEOPLE YOU'RE GOING TO FIND WHEN IT COMES TO LOCAL RULE. AND I DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE WAY OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND AGENCIES AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING THOSE LAWS.

SO WE CAN'T CONSIDER THOSE THINGS, BUT THEY WEREN'T INVESTIGATED.

I HAD A GREAT TALK WITH RICHARD AND HIS TEAM.

AND JEAN, ABOUT THIS EARLIER TODAY. WE CAN'T CONSIDER THOSE THINGS, BUT THEY WERE LOOKED AT AND IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE PURVIEW OF THIS COUNCIL. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRUST THAT IF THERE IS ANY CONCERN THAT OUR FRIENDS AND OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY OTHER THAN LISTENING, IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING TO SAY BACK TO THOSE THINGS I JUST SAID, I ALL I CAN ADDRESS TO YOU, COUNCILMAN, IS THAT THE FAST PHOTONICS USA IS INTERESTED AND READY AND EAGER TO BEGIN BUSINESS HERE, AND IS LOOKING FORWARD TO COMPLYING WITH ALL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, ALL LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND ALL LAWS AND ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE.

[01:00:03]

IF THERE'S NO FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. WE'RE GOING TO OPEN IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO OPEN IT YET.

SO WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THAT. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS? THERE'S NO FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND COUNCIL. IF YOU PLEASE, VOTE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY.

YEAH. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COUNCIL. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

YEAH. YOU HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE. IT'S ON A DELAYED THING.

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS SET FORTH IN THE CAPTION.

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. COUNCIL, IF YOU PLEASE, VOTE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.

MAY I GET THE TRANSCEIVER? OH, YEAH. WELL, I MEAN.

WE THOUGHT WE'D JUST MAKE A NECKLACE OR SOMETHING OUT OF IT.

IS THAT A FUNCTIONAL ONE? BECAUSE I GOT A I GOT A DATA SWITCH IN THE BACK.

IF YOU COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE IT. I'M. I'M PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE ON THE ON THIS DAIS THAT DOES KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

WELL, MAYBE MAYBE COUNCILMEMBER KELLY. HEY. YEAH.

ME TOO. HEY, DON'T GO TOO SHORT. THERE WE GO.

DON'T BE CUTTING A SHORT. I'M LEARNING EVERY DAY. I'M LEARNING EVERY DAY.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP, VISITORS FORUM SPEAKERS MUST ADDRESS THEIR COMMENTS TO THE MAYOR RATHER THAN TO INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS OF STAFF. SPEAKERS SHOULD SPEAK CLEARLY AND STATE THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE REMARKS. SPEAKERS WILL BE ALLOWED FIVE MINUTES FOR TESTIMONY.

THE CITY COUNCIL IS RESTRICTED FROM DISCUSSING OR TAKING ACTION ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA. ACTUALLY CAN ONLY BE TAKEN IN FUTURE MEETING. I DO NOT SEE ANY COMMENTS OR REQUESTS FOR VISITORS FORUM, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

IS THERE AN APPETITE TO OPEN THAT UP FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS TILL OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, OR ARE WE COUNCIL GOOD WITH WHERE WE ARE? I PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE THE MORE VOICES WE HAVE, THE BETTER.

I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS PROCESS STRONGER.

AND I WELCOME THE ADDITIONAL FOLKS INTO IT. OKAY.

OTHER COMMENTS. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. GOOD WITH THAT.

HAVE OTHER. NO, NO I ACTUALLY I CONCUR 100% WITH COUNCILWOMAN GREEN JUST SAID I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ONE WOULD DO A NICE PUBLIC PUSH TO MAKE SURE THAT WORD GETS BACK OUT THERE. AND ANYBODY THAT EMAIL A COUNCIL MEMBER OR CITY MANAGER GETS A PERSONAL EMAIL BACK AGAIN THAT SAYS, YEAH, WE TOLD YOU NO, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE YES NOW.

SO GO APPLY NOW. SO AS LONG AS THOSE TWO THINGS ARE ACCOMPLISHED, I'M OKAY WITH IT. I THINK IT'S FAIR.

ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT ONE WHAT WE'LL NEED TO DO ON THE MOTION IS ADD AN EXTENSION OF THE TIMELINE UNTIL NOT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, BUT IT WOULD BE TWO WEEKS FROM. WELL, IT WOULD BE TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY.

SO TO EXTEND THE TIMELINE TO THE THE FRIDAY BEFORE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, CAN I MAKE THAT MOTION RIGHT NOW? HOLD ON. NO. THE OTHER PIECE IS THAT WE DO NEED TO ASSIGN SEVEN COMMITTEE CHAIRS, IDEALLY. SO WE HAVE A LIST HERE OF 22 NAMES AND APPLICANTS.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THE TOP SEVEN.

SO WE HAVE THOSE COUNCIL, EACH ONE OF YOU SENT IN SOME INFORMATION OR FEEDBACK TO CITY STAFF ON A LIST OF PEOPLE THAT YOU BELIEVE WOULD BE GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COMMITTEE CHAIR.

THESE FOLKS. WE ALSO HAD SEVERAL DOZEN PEOPLE WHO SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO BE A COMMITTEE CHAIR OR CO-CHAIR.

SO NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SURPRISED IF THEY ARE ASSIGNED A COMMITTEE CHAIR.

I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CO-CHAIRS ACTUALLY BE PICKED BY THE COMMITTEES, THAT WE DON'T DO THAT HERE TODAY, THAT WE'RE ONLY GOING TO DEAL WITH COMMITTEE CHAIRS, AND WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SEVEN OF THEM. SO THE TOP SEVEN THAT WE HAVE FROM COUNCIL INPUT TO CITY STAFF.

NUMBER ONE IS BRANDON JONES. NUMBER TWO IS ANGELA LEWALLEN.

NUMBER THREE IS JOSHUA SHANNON. NUMBER FOUR IS JOHN TIDWELL.

NUMBER FIVE IS JOHN DEAL. NUMBER SIX IS DAVID MARGOLIES.

AND NUMBER SEVEN IS ADRIAN DOKO. DO WE MISS. YEAH.

I THINK YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG. YEAH. YOU SKIPPED OVER.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE UPDATE? NO. MINE ARE NOT IN. MINE ARE NOT IN NUMERICAL ORDER. SO MY APOLOGIES. OKAY. THERE WE GO. LET ME AND MAYOR, CAN I INTERJECT SOMETHING IN HERE? CAN I CAN I READ THIS LIST? WELL, I GUESS YOU CAN. I'M GOING TO DO THAT AND THEN WE'LL GO OUT. OKAY.

SO SORRY. TOP SEVEN WERE OUT BY BY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS SO FAR.

BRANDON JONES, ANGELA LLEWELLYN, JOSHUA SHANNON, JOHN TIDWELL, JEN MARVEL, JOHN DIEHL, AND DAVID MARGULIES.

WE HAD SEVERAL WITH JUST TWO VOICES IN THERE.

SO FROM JOHN DIEHL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO JENNIFER SOUTHWELL.

WITH TWO VOTES APIECE. WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN THIS UP TO A CONVERSATION.

WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THOSE LAST TWO.

THERE'S WHAT YOU JUST SAID. I MEAN, SO I WOULD AGREE THAT THE TOP FIVE THAT YOU READ, THOSE ARE THE TOP FIVE, BUT THE NUMBER SIX AND SEVEN ARE KIND OF UP IN THE AIR AND UP IN THE AIR.

AND THEY HAVE BITE. AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO INTERJECT, IS WHAT SHE INTERJECTED THAT I TOOK CARE OF BY READING THE NUMBERS.

RIGHT. WELL, WE GOT IT. WELL, NO, YOU SAID NUMBER SIX.

YOU READ NUMBER SIX AND SEVEN, RIGHT? BUT THEN YOU INCLUDED THE.

THAT'S. YEAH. YEAH, YEAH. SO OKAY. VERY GOOD.

COUNCILMEMBER MEMBER. I WAS LATE IN GETTING MY MY MY NAMES IN, AND IF MINE HAD COME IN, TWO OF THE ONES THAT HAVE TWO VOTES WOULD NOW HAVE THREE.

WHICH ONES WOULD YOU HAVE PUT IN THERE? OKAY, I HAD KAREN LOCKE AND ARAM ALI.

OKAY. KAREN AND ARAM. OKAY, SO OTHER COMMENTS.

I HAVE AN AARON AS ARAM AS WELL. I HAD I HAD DAVID MARGULIES AND ADRIAN DOKO.

YEAH, I'M THERE AS WELL. I THINK KAREN AND ARAM ARE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

I LOVE THEM BOTH TO DEATH, BUT I'M TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO GET PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NEED AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE MORE INVOLVED.

AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT I KNOW ADRIAN OR I KNOW DAVID'S BEEN IN SOME THINGS, AND JOHN'S BEEN SOME THINGS AS WELL, BUT AND AS ADRIAN IS CURRENTLY ON A BOARD AT THIS JUNCTURE, ADRIAN IS NOT, BUT HE'S BEEN COMING UP.

[01:15:01]

BUT YOU'VE BEEN COMING. YOU'VE BEEN COMING TO COUNCIL MEMBER MEETINGS FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS.

I THINK SOMEWHERE IN THAT. OKAY. MAYBE. MAYBE.

NICE TO MEET YOU OVER THERE. I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU'RE BACK THERE. FANTASTIC. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE SOME OTHER FOLKS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO DISPLAY SOME LEADERSHIP. AND I KNOW THEY COULD PROBABLY DO IT IN A IN THESE CO-CHAIR POSITION AS WELL.

BUT NOW AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THEM A SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIR AND THEN MAYBE CO-CHAIR SOME OF THE ONES WHO'VE BEEN ACTIVE ALREADY IN OUR CITY.

CAN I CAN I JUST I, I, I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GO YET.

I HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN. I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO ASK TO GO.

I KNOW WELL. OH YEAH. GO AHEAD. YOU MAY NOT EVEN NEED SOME MINUTES.

I DO WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT ON THIS THAT WE ONLY HAVE IN THAT TOP SEVEN.

ONE WOMAN. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT THAT. WELL, IN THE TOP SEVEN, WE DON'T.

WE HAVE TWO. ANGELA. OH, ANGIE. SORRY, BUT WE NEED ANOTHER WOMAN.

SO WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY WAS THAT I AGREE WITH YOU THAT I WANT TO SEE SOME PEOPLE, SOME NEWER PEOPLE KIND OF COMING IN AND, BUT I, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SERVING AS CHAIRS ON THESE COMMITTEES ARE FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH LEWISVILLE AND SOME OF THE BACKGROUND THAT YOU GET WHEN YOU SERVE ON COMMITTEES FOR YEARS AND YEARS THAT YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE LEADING DISCUSSIONS ON VARIOUS TOPICS.

AND I THINK THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MORE ACTIVELY INVOLVED ARE JUST BETTER SUITED TO BE THE CHAIR.

NOW THEY CAN RECRUIT SOME SOMEBODY. I WOULD LOVE TO PAIR THEM UP WITH, SOMEBODY WHO IS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT NEW TO THE GAME, TO KIND OF CO-CHAIR AND GET THAT EXPERIENCE, BUT THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT THERE.

THAT'S A VERY VALID THOUGHT. ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE WRONG. WELL, LET ME GO DOWN THE LIST. ARE WE OKAY WITH BRANDON JONES? YEAH. I'M PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT. YEAH, I GUESS I GUESS SO.

ARE WE OKAY WITH ANGELA? YES, YES. ARE WE OKAY WITH JOSH SHANNON? YES. YES, YES. ARE WE OKAY WITH JOHN TIDWELL? YES, YES. YES. THAT WAS. THIS IS JACK TIDWELL, RIGHT FROM PNC.

I THINK SO. YEAH, I BELIEVE. ARE YOU SURE? JOHN AND JACK ARE TWO DIFFERENT NAMES.

ARE WE OKAY WITH JEN MARVEL? YES. YES, YES. JOHN DIEHL.

DAVID MARGOLIS. YES. ADRIAN. ALL RIGHT, SO I GOT THREE SOLID, AND THEN THE YESES FELL OFF PRETTY QUICKLY. SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT JOHN TIDWELL, JEN MARVEL, JOHN DEAL, DAVID MARGULIES OR SOMEBODY ELSE IN IN THOSE SPACES. I THINK MAYBE THIS IS JUST ME, BUT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY HAD ANY CONCERNS AT THE TOP FIVE.

THAT'S MY MY FEEL. SO I THINK THOSE ARE ALL FINE.

I'M OKAY WITH THAT. THAT'S JUST A NUMBER OF I HEAR YOU DISAPPEAR.

YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS A SURVEY FATIGUE AS WELL. FAIR ENOUGH.

THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH. OKAY. SO ARE WE GOOD WITH ONE THROUGH FIVE? YES. YES. TALK TO ME ABOUT SIX AND SEVEN, GANG.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ARAM BE NUMBER SIX. I AGREE.

ANY OTHER SUPPORT FOR AARON? YES. YEP. I CAN SUPPORT AARON.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT, SO WE'VE GOT ARAM IN THERE. SO THAT WOULD BE POSITION SIX AND POSITION SEVEN.

I LIKE ADRIAN. ONE MORE TIME. ADRIAN. ADRIAN.

ADRIAN. I CAN GO WITH ADRIAN. I CAN DO THAT. I COULD GO WITH THAT.

SINCE SHE'S UP THERE. YEAH. ADRIAN. HE ALSO REPRESENTS OUR ARMENIAN.

THAT'S RIGHT. COMMUNITY AS WELL. SO THAT'S MAYBE A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE THERE, TOO.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO I HAVE BRANDON JONES, ANGELA LLEWELLYN, JOSH SHANNON, JOHN TIDWELL, JEN.

MARVEL. ADRIAN. BOKO HARAM, ALI I WILL. ONE MORE QUICK THING.

I AM HOPING AND WILLINGNESS INTO INTO FRUITION THROUGH THIS COMMENT THAT THE FOLKS WHO ARE CARE CHAIRS USE THE SAME LIST TO CONSIDER THE CO-CHAIRS.

I REALLY I REALLY HOPE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. I HOPE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THAT'S FAIR. ALL RIGHT. SO COUNCIL, I NEED A MOTION TO APPOINT ALL APPLICANTS TO THE 2035 STEERING COMMITTEE AND DESIGNATE THOSE SEVEN NAMES THAT WE SELECTED AS FUTURE SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRPERSONS IN TWO WEEKS AND AND AND TO CONTINUE TO HAVE OPEN APPLICATIONS UNTIL JULY 18TH.

[01:20:08]

OKAY. I MOVE THAT WE APPOINT SEVEN CHAIRS TONIGHT TO 2035.

OKAY. AND THOSE BEING BRANDON JONES, ANGELA LLEWELLYN, JOSHUA CHANNING, JOHNNY TIDWELL, JUNIOR JIN MARVEL, ADRIAN DOKO AND ARAM ALI. DO WE NEED TO DO THIS ALL SEPARATELY OR ALL IN ONE MOTION AND ALL APPLICANTS, AND TO APPOINT ALL APPLICANTS TO THE 2035 STEERING COMMITTEE, AND TO EXTEND AND TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE TO JULY 18TH AT 5:00 PM AT 5 P.M.

COUNCILMEMBER KELLY. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A QUICK MOMENT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO'S INVOLVED WITH THE 4TH OF JULY ACTIVITIES.

LAST I HEARD, THERE WAS SOME 6500 FOLKS OUT THERE, WHICH I THINK ENCROACHED ON A RECORD.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHEN WE STOPPED COUNTING. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A FINAL COUNT ON WHAT THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY? COUNCILMAN, WE STOPPED COUNTING AT 7000. THE PREVIOUS RECORD WAS 55.

THAT'S AWESOME. THE DRONE SHOW WAS FANTASTIC. I REALLY ENJOYED THAT. FIREWORKS. PRETTY GOOD TOO. I KIND OF SAY HAVING THEM SPLIT LIKE THAT WAS NOT A BAD, NOT A BAD COMPROMISE.

SO THANKS. EVERYBODY CAME OUT. THE TRUCK VENDORS ARE FANTASTIC.

THE MUSIC WAS GREAT. IF YOU MISSED IT, YOU GOT TO COME NEXT YEAR.

COUNCILMEMBER GREEN. I JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY MENTION THE MY WATER ADVISOR 2.0 APP.

I GOT A FLIER WITH MY MY ELECTRONIC WATER BILL, AND SO I DOWNLOADED IT.

IT'S I AM NOT A TECH SAVVY PERSON, BUT I WAS ABLE TO DO THIS VERY EASILY AND LINK THE APP TO MY ACTUAL WATER ACCOUNT, AND IT SHOWS ME HOW MUCH WATER I'M USING DAILY, HOURLY, MY MONTHLY USAGE, AND IT TELLS ME WHAT MY CURRENT BILLING CYCLE USAGE IS, AND IT PROJECTS IT OUT FOR WHAT I'M GOING TO BE USING THIS MONTH.

SO I CAN, IF THAT'S TOO MUCH, WHICH ACTUALLY RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE I'M PROJECTED OVER MY AVERAGE, SO I NEED TO KIND OF CONSERVE SOME WATER. SO THIS IS A REALLY, REALLY NEAT TOOL.

I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GO DOWNLOAD IT. IT'S SUPER EASY AND VERY INTERESTING.

COUNCILOR TIPTON, I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU. SIR. COUNCIL MEMBER CADE. YEAH, I HAVE A COUPLE THINGS.

IN LIGHT OF THE HORRIFIC EVENTS THIS WEEKEND THE POLICE HAD ROLLED OUT IN THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA. AN APP CALLED MY THREE WORDS.

AND I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY USEFUL FOR EVERY FAMILY TO TALK ABOUT THAT APP AND TO GET IT DOWNLOADED ON YOUR PHONES.

[01:25:05]

JEFF RAMSEY AND TONYA RAMSEY ARE STILL LISTED AS MISSING.

HE WAS LISTED AS FOUND BUT WAS MISIDENTIFIED.

SO HE IS LISTED AS MISSING AND WE HOPE TO HEAR SOMETHING VERY SOON.

I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HIM AND GRADUATED WITH HIM AT LEWISVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.

THIS IS A MAN THAT GAVE A LOT MORE THAN HE EVER TOOK.

AND HE HAD A WONDERFUL WIFE THAT DID THE SAME.

SO PLEASE REMEMBER HIS TWO CHILDREN AND EXTENDED FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND HOPE TO BRING HIM HOME BACK TO LEWISVILLE AND TANYA BACK TO LEWISVILLE VERY SOON. THANK YOU.

I DO HAVE TWO STAFF REPORTS. FIRE CHIEF MCNEIL.

YES. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE ON THE MEMBERS WE HAVE THAT ARE DEPLOYED TO CENTRAL TEXAS.

SO WE SENT TWO MEMBERS ON FRIDAY AS PART OF TEXAS TASK FORCE TO THEY'VE HAD SEVERAL ASSIGNMENTS IN THAT REGION.

MOST RECENTLY, THEY'VE BEEN IN MARBLE FALLS ON RESCUE MISSIONS.

THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO REPORT UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES, THEY'LL BE IN THE KERRVILLE AREA TOMORROW.

I THINK A LOT OF THE RESOURCES ARE GOING TO BE FOCUSED IN THAT AREA NOW.

WE DEPLOYED A SMALL TEAM OF FOUR MEMBERS AS PART OF THAT SAW TEAM THIS MORNING.

THEY HIT THE GROUND, REPORTED STRAIGHT TO KERRVILLE AND WENT TO WORK THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL STAY IN KERRVILLE.

THEY'RE KIND OF THE SECOND PHASE OF THAT THAT RESCUE OR SEARCH PIECE NOW.

SO THEY'RE DOING DEBRIS PILES USING HEAVY EQUIPMENT AND MOVING A LOT OF THINGS SO HARD, HARD AND BOTH EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY WORK.

BUT I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR YOUR SUPPORT, OUR CITY MANAGEMENT, FOR SUPPORTING US IN THIS PROGRAM WHEN WE PUT THE WORD OUT.

WE HAVE AN OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS THAT ARE WANTING TO GO TO PUT THEIR, THEIR TRAINING TO, TO USE DOWN THERE AS ALL OF US AS WE WATCH THIS TRAGEDY UNFOLD.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT HELP AND FOR THOSE THAT WHILE THIS IS REALLY PROBABLY NOT AT THE FOREMOST OF ANYBODY'S MIND IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAGEDY BUT JUST SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM, THE STATE CAN FULLY REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR ANY EXPENSES WE HAVE.

SO THEY THEY MEET OUR PAYROLL BOTH FOR THE MEMBERS THAT ARE DEPLOYED AND FOR THOSE THAT BACKFILL IN THE STATIONS TO KEEP OUR CITY COVERED, AND THEY ALSO PAY A RATE FOR ANY EQUIPMENT WE SEND.

SO WHILE, LIKE I SAY, IT MAY NOT BE FOREMOST IN YOUR MIND.

THE CITY IS MADE WHOLE. WE FRONT THE MONEY AND THEN THE STATE REIMBURSES US FOR ALL OUR EXPENSES.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CHIEF CITY ENGINEER DAVID SELMAN.

YEAH. I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE A BRIEF UPDATE ON OUR CORPORATE DRIVE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

CONSTRUCTION, THE CITY'S CONTRACTOR WILL BE SETTING THE LAST BEAMS ON THE TRINITY RIVER BRIDGE LATER THIS WEEK, WHICH IS A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR THE PROJECT. CORPORATE DRIVE PROJECT EXTENDS FROM RAILROAD STREET ON THE WEST, OLD DENTON ROAD ON THE EAST. IN EAST. LEWISVILLE IS THE CITY'S LARGEST ROADWAY PROJECT TO DATE.

THE TRINITY RIVER BRIDGE IS ROUGHLY A HALF MILE LONG AND INCLUDES ROUGHLY 200 BEAMS. SO WE'RE FINALLY COMING TO THE END OF THAT BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION.

I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION THAT STAFF IS CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO ARRANGE A CITY COUNCIL TOUR OF THE CONSTRUCTION SITE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, SO MORE DETAILS TO COME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
