WE AREN'T GOING TO PULL IT OUT NOW.

>> YEAH. IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT.

RELATED TO OUR CAPACITY TO TREAT SO IT ACTUALLY EXPAND OUR CAPACITY TO TREAT. THE URGENCY OF THE PROJECT IS T CQ REQUIRES ONCE WE HIT 90% OF OUR CAPACITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THE TIMING IS NOW TOGETHER WITH CONSTRUCTION.

BUT THE PROCESS, THE PROJECT INCLUDES CONSTRUCTING FOUR LARGE RATION BASINS. THERE IS A BASE TOO TO THIS ACTUALLY. ACTUALLY REPLACES MORE AND ALSO INCLUDES ADDING LOWER BUILDINGS, IT ESSENTIALLY BLOWS AIR INTO THE WATER TO PROVIDE OXYGEN SO THEY CAN TREAT THE WATER.

THIS HAS BEEN A WELL-DESIGNED PROJECT AND WE ARE READY TO GO.

THE DEMAND IS AT 75% CAPACITY, 75% UNDER DESIGN, AND 90% CONSTRUCTION. IT'S BEEN ON THE RADAR FOR A WHILE SO I APPRECIATE IT. IT'S A HUGE DEAL.

THE CAPACITY TO TAKE IT. >> TAKES US TO 14 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. IT'LL GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF

BREATHING ROOM. >> IS THIS THE BIGGEST CHUNK

FROM THE DEPARTMENT? >> IT'S FINISHED UP FOR A VERY LONG TIME. WE HAVE CAPITAL PROJECTS TO

[00:05:02]

>> UNTIL '29. >> WE SPLIT THAT INTO TWO PHASES AND TRYING TO SPLIT THE CAPITAL. AND THROUGH THE PROCESS WE ARE SAVING ABOUT $17,000. IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO START NOW WITH THE PROJECT. WE'VE DONE AN EXTENSIVE EVALUATION ON ENGINEERING AND COSTS.

LIKE? >> WE ACTUALLY OWN THAT.

SO WE'VE GOT THE ORIGINAL IN 2015.

IN THE CITY, IT'S STRESSED TO THE EEOC PROGRAM.

FOR US WE WOULDN'T NEED IT. WE MIGHT NEED IT AS REMOTE OPERATIONS. ALSO ADDITIONAL ASSETS.

THIS GRANT WILL HAVE A BRAND-NEW SET UP?

>> WHAT WE DO IS REFRESHING ALL THE TECHNOLOGY.

MONITORS, COMPUTERS, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

MAINLY ALL THE TECHNOLOGY. >> THANK YOU.

>> ITEM 13. AUTHOR WRITING THE CITY MANAGER FOR APPROVAL OR THE FUNDING OF THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS FROM PURNELL TO HARVARD STREET.

THAT'S EXCITING. >> I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT ON THIS ONE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BUDGETS THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY SO IF YOU REMEMBER THEY ACTUALLY HELD ON.

OUR MOST RECENT ONE WE INCLUDED FOR OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ON THIS AGREEMENT FOR $19 MILLION FROM THE STATE TO ACTUALLY FUND AT THAT PROJECT. SO IT MOVED THAT PROJECT UP FROM 2032 TO NOW AND IT FREED UP THAT MONEY WE WERE GOING TO SPEND ON THIS PROJECT TO BE SPENT ON OTHER PROJECTS WITHIN THE CITY.

PRIMARILY VALLEY WHICH IS COMING IN WAY OVER BUDGET.

THIS IS A GREAT FOR THE PROJECT TO REALLOCATE.

IT'S A GRANT AND WE GET OUR DTC CREDITS.

IT'S MATCHED. >> GREAT.

LET'S GET THOSE CREDITS SO WE CAN USE THEM.

ITEM 14. ART PROJECT GRANT AGREEMENT TO THE GREATER LEWISVILLE ARTS ALLIANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $6,000. THIS IS THE AMERICA 250 EVENT THEY WANT TO PUT ON. THAT WILL BE THE ONLY -- I CAN'T

EVEN SAY IT. >> SEMI QUINN CENTENNIAL.

>> THANK YOU. SO MUCH EASIER WHEN IT WAS THE BICENTENNIAL. IT'S THE ONLY ONE I'M AWARE OF FOR THIS COMING YEAR WHICH I'VE APPRECIATED THAT THEY ARE DOING

[00:10:04]

ITEM 16, APPROVAL OF TEMPORARY STREET CLOSURE ON CHURCH STREET BETWEEN MILL AND CHARLES WITH THE LITTLE INDIA FAIR FOOD FESTIVAL ON MAY 9TH. THIS IS EXCITING.

THE COMMUNITY REACHING OUT TO CREATE THAT.

>> [INDISTINCT] >> THAT'S ON YOU, MAN.

NUMBER 17, CONSIDERATION OF THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2026-27

BUDGET CALENDAR. >> THIS IS THE SAME ONE WE TALKED ABOUT AND HAS A BUDGET WORKSHOP FOR AUGUST 8TH.

>> CANNOT MISS THAT ONE. >> RIGHT.

THOSE ARE HARD DATES. ITEM EIGHT, TWO REPORTS.

DON'T HAVE ANY. CITY STAFF REQUESTING REPORTS ON THIS TIME AND CLOSED SESSION. WE HAVE REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC GOVERNMENT, WE DO NOT HAVE CONSULTATION WITH ATTORNEY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE AGENDA BEFORE WE MOVE BACK INTO OUR WORKSHOP ITEMS? ITEM B, REVIEW FINANCIAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025. MR. JOHN THE RURAL

IS GOING TO PRESENT. >> I'M HERE TO OPEN HERE TODAY.

WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ANNUAL PLANS AND ALSO SUPPORTING SCHEDULES FOR FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS.

ALL THOSE ARE GOING TO BE PART OF THE READING TODAY BUT BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO JOHN, I WANT TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS HERE.

I WANT TO RECOGNIZE WHO IS REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. SO FOUR OF THE SEVEN INVOLVED HERE TONIGHT, WE'VE GOT TOUGH QUESTIONS GO TO THEM.

AND ESPECIALLY WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE A LITTLE PROJECT CALLED ERP GOING AND THAT IS TAKING UP OF BULK LOAD OF TIME. IN BETWEEN MIDDAY WORK AND THE ERP AUDIT, IT WAS QUITE AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO GET IT DONE.

WE GOT DONE IN TIME. SO I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE WORK THAT WE DID AND SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED. THE TWO REPORTS HAVE RECEIVED RETRIBUTION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE.

WE ACTUALLY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 WITH THE DISTINGUISHED BUDGET AWARD. WE ARE GOING TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE ACF ARE FUNDED FOR 2025.

EXPECT TO GET THOSE AGAIN. JUST A COUPLE OF GOOD THINGS TO NOTE. WE HAVE A CLEAN AUDIT.

JOHN WILL SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

WE DID HAVE ONE FINDING AND IT'S A LINK TO GRANT AND IT'S A TIMING ISSUE. JOHN IS GOING TO SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT. THE RESULTS SHOW STRONG RESERVES SO WE CONTINUE TO MAKE THINGS IMPORTANT.

IT IS AS YOU KNOW A RAINING AGENCY EVERY YEAR, LOOKING AT THE RESERVES AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOK AT SO WE CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME STRONG RESERVES THERE.

SHOWING SAVINGS TO THE FINAL BUDGET SO AGAIN WE ARE ADDING TO THE RESERVE, REALLY GOOD AT MANAGING BUDGETS.

COMING IN UNDER BUDGET FOR THOSE.

WE'VE GOT GROWTH OF $7 MILLION THAT IS PRIMARILY FROM THE ADDITION OF CAPITAL ASSETS. OUR TOTAL POSITION IS $2.1 BILLION. WE ARE 100% FUNDED AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AT THE RETREAT. THE COUNCIL MADE THE DECISION TO ENHANCE THE SUBSIDY FOR RETIREE HEALTH.

AND WE HAVE TO WORK UP TO THAT. A NUMBER OF FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES I WOULD SAY WITH THE FUNDING AND WITH THE REVENUE WE WERE ABLE TO GET UP TO 105% FUNDED.

THAT HELPS NOT ONLY SHOW THAT WE ARE FULLY FUNDED BUT IT ALSO PUTS -- TAKE SOME PRESSURE OFF OF THE BUDGET.

[00:15:05]

LAST YEAR WE HAD ABOUT $35 MILLION THAT WE RECOGNIZED AS REVENUE FOR THE YEAR. YOU TALK ABOUT THAT PROJECT TO GO WITH $19 MILLION PER THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY WE NEED TO USE TO FUND OUR EXPENSES AND UTILIZE SOME OTHER SOURCES FOR DIFFERENT PROJECTS OR BE ABLE TO DO MORE THAN WHAT WE ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. JOHN IS HERE.

GOING TO PROVIDE A BIT MORE DETAILED PRESENTATION AND AFTER ANY QUESTIONS WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

TAKE IT AWAY, JOHN. >> I THINK YOU CAN ACTUALLY STAY UP AND CONTINUE THIS. [LAUGHTER] GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE WITH YOU THIS EVENING TO PRESENT THE RESULTS OF FISCAL YEAR 2025 AUDIT. I'D LIKE TO THANK AND ACKNOWLEDGE A STAFF ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK.

THIS SUCCESSFUL AUDIT. I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF WITH THE SPIRIT WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO GO OVER.

I SERVED AS THE ENGAGEMENT PARTNER ONCE AGAIN.

SERVED AS THE MANAGER OF THE DAY-TO-DAY FIELDWORK.

RIGHT TO THE RESULTS OF THE AUDIT.

AS THEY MENTIONED, WE'VE ISSUED THE REPORT ON THE CITY'S FINANCIAL STATE FOR 2025. WE'VE IS SUBMITTED WHAT IS CALLED A CLEARED OPINION SO WE'VE SUBMITTED THE FINANCIAL OPINIONS. THE OTHER REPORTS WE HAVE ISSUED ART IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SINGLE AUDIT BOTH THE FEDERAL AND STATE SINGLE AUDIT. FIRST IS THE REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL, FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON OTHER MATTERS AND THAT'S THE REPORT THEY HAD MENTIONED WHERE WE HAD ONE FINDING AND I'LL GO INTO THAT A BIT MORE ON DETAIL AT THE MOMENT AND WE ALSO ISSUED OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT ON THE COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAM, ON COMPLIANCE AND THE SCHEDULE.

BASICALLY THAT REPORT COVERS ALL THE FEDERAL AND STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND WILL GO INTO THAT.

HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THERE WERE NO FINDINGS IN THAT REPORT SO WE FEEL THE CITY COMPLIED IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS FOR DIRECT AND MATERIAL REQUIREMENT COMPLIANCE FOR STATE AND FEDERAL PROGRAMS. PART OF OUR AUDIT PROCESS, WE STARTED THE AUDIT LONG AGO LAST SUMMER. AS THEY CAN ATTEST.

WE STARTED OFF WITH OUR INITIAL PLANNING.

WE CAME UP AND DID INTERIM FIELDWORK IN AUGUST WILL BE CONCENTRATED MOST ON INTERNAL CONTROL WORK UNTIL LATER IN THE EVENING. BALANCES ARE FINALIZED FOR IT WE CAME BACK JANUARY AND FEBRUARY TO CLEAR OUR FIELDWORK AND INITIATE OUR AUDIT. AND OUR AUDIT PROCESSES, WHAT THEY CALL A RISK-BASED APPROACH WHERE WE TRY TO IDENTIFY AREAS THAT ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO MATERIAL MISTAKE AND USE OUR RESOURCES MORE HEAVILY IN THOSE AREAS.

ALSO PART OF OUR AUDIT AND SOMETHING WE HAD THE STANDARD REQUIREMENT TO COMMUNICATE TO IS PART OF OUR PLANNING PROCESS, WE ARE REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE SIGNIFICANT RISK THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG HERE, IT JUST MEANS THAT EVERY AUDIT HAS SIGNIFICANT RISKS.

OF COURSE, ONE WE IDENTIFY AND MANAGE ON THE OVERRIDE CONTROLS IS CONSIDERED AN INHERENT RISK IN EVERY AUDIT.

IT'S A RISK THAT THEY COULD OVERRIDE CONTROLS AND MAKE UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY. THE SECOND ONE WE IDENTIFIED WAS IMPROPER REVENUE RECOGNITION. IT DEPARTMENT ONLY HAS TO DO WITH GRANTS AND UTILITY RATHER THAN INCORPORATE PROCEDURES THAT ADDRESS THOSE RISKS AS PART OF A BROADER PROGRAM.

I MENTIONED THAT WE CAME OUT IN THE SUMMER OF AUGUST LAST YEAR TO HELP FORM AN INTERIM FIELDWORK.

AND I MENTIONED WE CONCENTRATE ON THE COMING CONTROLS AND SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTION CYCLES SUCH AS CASH DISBURSEMENTS, PAYROLL. UTILITY BUILDING AND TAXES, THE PERMIT. AND WE CAN TEST CAPITAL PROJECTS

[00:20:01]

SUCH AS COUCHING, ANALYTICS, SAMPLING.

WE ALSO EVALUATE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL SCHEDULES, HIGH ABILITIES. THE SINGLE AUDIT TESTING.

AND ONE MAJOR STATE PROGRAM THIS YEAR.

A MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM WITH THE CORONAVIRUS STATE AND LOCAL FUNDS. AS I MENTIONED THEY HAVE THE REPORT THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH EITHER PROGRAM.

THE NEXT SECTION GOES THROUGH ALL REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS AND SOME OF THIS I WILL JUST PARAPHRASE AND OFFERING EVERY SLIDE. THE FIRST THREE SLIDES GOING THROUGH OUR RESPONSE ABILITIES WITH A DIFFERENT TYPES OF STANDARDS. THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPRESSING AN OPINION BASED ON OUR AUDIT WORK.

OUR GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDIT STANDINGS IT ADDS A LAYER OR WE HAVE TO ISSUE A REPORT ON OUR CONSIDERATION OF COMPONENTS.

AND THEN UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE WHICH GOVERNS A FEDERAL GRANTS AND TEXAS GRANT STANDARDS, GOVERNANCE OF STATE GRANTS, ACTUALLY PERFORM PROCEDURES TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE COMCOMPLIANT IN ALL RESPECTS. THE CITY IMPLEMENTED A COUPLE OF NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS THIS YEAR BUT NEITHER ONE HAD AN EFFECT ON THE CITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BUT AGAIN, NO IMPACT TO THE CITY'S FINANCIALS. WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY FRAUD OR IRREGULARITIES, I ALREADY MENTIONED THAT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES, LOOK AT THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS TO MAKE UP THOSE ESTIMATES INCLUDEN CLOSING.

I MENTIONED THAT WE HAVE FELT THAT THERE WERE NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES. WE'VE GOT ONE FINDING AND I HAVE TO MENTION THIS. PART OF THE FINDING IS THAT WE FELT THAT THEY CORRECTLY ACCRUE THE EXPENSES RELATED TO $3.4 MILLION OF CONSTRUCTION VOICES LAST YEAR IN 2024.

HOWEVER THERE IS A MECHANISM THAT DIDN'T TAKE PLACE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE GRANT IS AGAINST FUNDING, THE REVENUE WASN'T RECOGNIZED. INSTEAD IT HIT 2025.

SO THEY ACCRUED IT BACK TO 2024. THE REVENUE, JUST THE TIMING OF THE REVENUE DIDN'T TAKE PLACE. NOTHING TO DO WITH CASH OR ANY KIND OF IMPROPRIETIES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SIMPLY A CONTROLLED EMERGENCY. I PUT IN AN EXCERPT FROM THE REPORT JUST IN CASE YOU HAD QUESTIONS.

WE HAD DETERMINED A SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY AND IT SOUNDS A LOT WORSE THAN IT IS. BUILDING THE STANDARDS YOU'VE GOT A CHOICE. ONE IS CALLED CONTROL EFFICIENCY. THE OTHER ONE IS CALLED SIGNIFICANT EFFICIENCY AND THE OTHER IS CALLED MATERIAL WEAKNESS. THE SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY, THE WAY IT READS HERE, IT'S A DEFICIENCY WITH CONTROL NONETHELESS SEVERE. IMPORTANT TO MERIT ATTENTION.

I THINK THE CITY HAS GREAT INTERNAL CONTROLS IN GENERAL.

BUT AGAIN NO SYSTEM IS PERFECT. THE STAFF PUT TOGETHER CORRECTIVE ACTION WHICH WE FEEL WILL REMEDY THE SITUATION.

AGAIN IT'S JUST A TIMING ISSUE. WE ENCOUNTERED NO DIFFICULTIES WITH THIS EQUIPMENT AND IN OUR AUDIT WE RECEIVED NOTHING BUT FULL COOPERATION LIKE WE'VE ALWAYS HAD.

IN THE AREA OF AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS, WE ARE REQUIRED TO COMMUNICATE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WERE MADE WITH THE NUMBERS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THERE WERE NO SUCH CHANGES AND THAT WAS A RESULT OF THE TIMING OF

[00:25:09]

WITH SOME NUMBERS FROM BOTH THIS YEAR'S AND LAST YEAR'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE FIRST TWO SLIDES GO THROUGH GOVERNMENTAL FUND'S RECORDS WHICH TOTALED $223.7 MILLION IN FISCAL '25. 8% DECREASE FROM LAST YEAR AND THERE IS NOT ONE THING THAT CAUSED THE DECREASE THERE WAS AN EFFECTIVE A FEW THINGS GOING ON. THE INCREASED $6.4 MILLION, RECREATION REVENUE INCREASED BY $2.2 MILLION AND AT THE SAME TIME INVESTING INCOME DECREASED BY $7 MILLION AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE BY 8.7, INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE RELATED TO THE CORONAVIRUS RECOVERY FUNDS.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS NEXT SLIDE WHICH SHOWS THE SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISONS WITH DIFFERENT REVENUE SOURCES.

SEE THE CHANGES THAT I JUST MENTIONED.

TAXES AND OTHER TAXES INCREASED THIS PAST YEAR BY 6.4 MILLION.

THE RECREATION BY 2.2 WHILE THE INVESTMENT INCOME INCREASED FROM $16.09 TO $9.9 MILLION LAST YEAR EXPENDITURES TOTALING $3.34 MILLION LAST YEAR.

$33.08 DECREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND MOST OF THAT RELATES TO THE TIMING OF PROJECTS.

DECREASE $41.000000 FROM LAST YEAR.

AND WHEN WE LOOK AT THE NEXT SLIDE YOU CAN SEE THAT'S PROBABLY THE BIGGEST CHANGE FOR US.

JUST THE TIMING OF THE EXPENDITURES ON CAPITAL PROSPECTS. OVER ALL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS UP TO SEPTEMBER 30TH IN 2025. A MAJORITY OF THAT IS $116 MILLION. OVER ALL GOVERNMENTAL FUND'S BALANCE DECREASED THIS YEAR. AND AGAIN IT'S BECAUSE OF THE PROJECTS, BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF THE EXPENDITURES ON THE PROJECTS, THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND SO THE EXPENDITURES WILL TAKE PLACE THIS YEAR. OTHER SIDE ON THE GENERAL FUND WHICH IS THE MAIN OPERATING FUND OF THE CITY WAS $45 MILLION WHICH REPRESENTS 36% OF GENERAL EXPENDITURES WHICH IS CONSIDERED HEALTHY. TWO MORE SLIDES.

THIS IS A SLIDE OF THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET VERSUS THE ACTUAL 42025 AND OVER ALL THE GENERAL FUND HAD A FAVORABLE VARIANCE OF $2.4 MILLION AND THIS IS BROKEN IN A COUPLE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS.

REVENUES EXCEEDED THE BUDGET BY $125 WHILE EXPENDITURES WERE $1.3 MILLION UNDER BUDGET. AND OTHER FINANCING SOURCES WERE BELOW BUDGET OVER $27 MILLION. AND FINALLY LOOKING AT THE CITY'S ENTERPRISE FUND THES INCREASED BY $27.2 MILLION YEAR-OVER-YEAR. THAT WAS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND YOU CAN SEE IN 2024 -- DON'T KNOW WHY I REALLY DID THAT. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I WON'T TOUCH IT THIS TIME. IN 2024 THERE WAS A $35.8 MILLION INCREASE IN THAT POSITION.

THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR, LAST YEAR THERE WERE $12.4 MILLION OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND TRANSFERS. THIS YEAR, THAT NUMBER WAS DOWN BY $5.3 MILLION. OTHERWISE OPERATING REVENUES INCREASED AND OPERATING EXPENSES INCREASED BY OFFSETTING THE MONTHS. I WILL NOT BORE EVERYBODY WITH THE DETAILS STANDARDS WILL BE IMPLEMENT IT NEXT YEAR.

[00:30:07]

>> IS THIS THE LAST SLIDE. >> NO, TWO SLIDES.

>> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COU

[00:50:02]

I ALSO HAVE MARSHA BREWER AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND RICHARD LUEDKE ARE PLANNING DIRECTOR IS AVAILABLE FOR

QUESTIONS. >> AND I ALSO HAVE A

PRESENTATION. >> BRING IT ON PAIRED >> THANK YOU MAYOR GILMORE, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF.

IT'S MY PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. IT'S QUITE COMPLEX BUT I'LL TRY TO MAKE IT AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE. FIRST OFF WE'LL START OFF WITH A MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE CROWN CENTER SUBDISTRICT WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE RED OUTLINE. APPROXIMATELY 140 ACRES WESTSIDE WHILE THE MAJORITY OF CASTLE HILLS IS ON THE EAST AND SOUTH SIDE OF SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY. WE WANTED TO PROVIDE THIS MAP WITH A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. FOR MORE OF A TIMELINE CONTEXT, CROWN CENTRE WAS FIRST ENVISIONED BACK IN FEBRUARY 2020 AND AT THAT TIME BEFORE CASTLE HILLS WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE IT CAME BEFORE A VARIANCE OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE KEY CITY IN CASTLE HILLS BUT IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE A SPECIAL SUBDISTRICT AREA AS PART OF THE ENVISIONED PD OF THE TIME.

WE WERE ENVISIONING BRINGING IN CASTLE HILLS AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT SINCE IT WAS A MASTER-PLANNED AREA.

SO THEN JANUARY 3RD 2022 ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AFTER THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE ANNEXED CASTLE HILLS, WE BROUGHT FORTH THE OFFICIAL CASTLE HILLS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND THAT DEVELOP MEANT OF THREE SUB AREAS, OR SUBDISTRICTS.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE SUB AREAS. IT WAS BASICALLY DROPPED INTO THE OVERALL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. AND THEN FAST FORWARD TO MARCH 3RD 2026 WE BROUGHT THE MM'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE AMENDMENTS AND THEY DID RECOMMEND UNANIMOUS APPROVAL AND THEN THE FINAL HERE IS OUR PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT FOR FINAL APPROVAL OF THESE AMENDMENTS. THESE AMENDMENTS REALLY APPEAR BEFORE YOU AS TWO COMPONENTS BUT THAT'S WHY THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE AGENDA ITEMS READ THE TEXT AMENDMENTS, THE RULES, THE LANGUAGE THAT IMPACTS THE SUBDISTRICT.

AND THE SECOND COMPONENT AND THE SECOND ORDINANCE IS THE AMENDED EXHIBITS THAT REALLY ILLUSTRATE THE CHANGES.

AS IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE ADMINISTRATOR OF COMMENTS READ BY THE MAYOR, THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THESE AMENDMENTS ARE TO ADDRESS SHARP CHANGES IN THE OFFICE AND RETAIL MARKETS SINCE COVID-19. SINCE THESE WERE ADOPTED PRIOR TO, THERE WAS A MUCH DIFFERENT VISION AND THE MARKET DEMAND WAS QUITE DIFFERENT AT THAT TIME. SO THESE MEMBERS ARE BEING BROUGHT FORWARD TO ADDRESS THE CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURRED FROM THAT TIME. TO AID IN WHERE THERE WERE TWO

[00:55:03]

BASICALLY MODELED AFTER THE LANGUAGE THAT GIVES US A LITTLE MORE CLARITY ON WHAT TYPE OF SITUATIONS WILL ALLOW STAFF APPROVALS AND WHICH SITUATIONS REQUIRE A COMPLETE EMINENT CONGRESS. EXTENDED STAY IN COMPLETELY REMOVED IN THE USE CHART AND ALLOWED BY SU P AND CROWN CENTRE. TO ALLOW MULTIFAMILY UNITS ABOVE THE FIFTH FLOOR OF A BUILDING WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL IN LIEU OF THE CURRENT LANGUAGE WHICH SITS ABOVE THE TEN FLORETS ARE REALLY DIALING BACK THE INTENSITY AND SCALE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY ENVISIONED. MULTIFAMILY UNITS IN SOME AREA THREE FOR IMMEDIATE CONSTRUCTION TO AID IN THE ACTIVATION OF THAT PORTION. THE NEXT BULLET POINT STATES THAT THE INITIAL 313 MULTIFAMILY UNITS, MULTIFAMILY UNITS WOULD BE ALLOWED AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITIONAL 75 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES.

THAT WAS DIALED DOWN FROM THE CURRENT LANGUAGE TO SPECIFY 250,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL.

SQUARE FOOTAGE TO ALLOW THE NEXT GROUP OF 300.

AND THE NEXT ITEM TO REDUCE THE MULTIFAMILY HEIGHT, A MINIMUM OF FIVE STORIES DOWN TO FOUR. THE NEXT ONE IS ADDING OPTIONS FOR A PRIMARY OR PEDESTRIAN FRONTAGE ADJACENT TO PARKING FACILITIES BID THAT'S CLUSTER OF RETAILERS AND RESTAURANTS, THAT ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE ADDED TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE TYPE OF CONVERACCOMMODATIONS AND ALEX PA LITTLE MORE ONCE I SHOW THE REVISED ELEVATIONS AND THE FINAL BULLET POINT USED AS MULTIFAMILY AND THAT WAS LANGUAGE BORROWED FROM ALLOWING PROVISIONS FOR LIVE WORK USES AMONGST THE OTHER COMMERCIAL USES ON THE GROUND FLOOR IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS ADEQUATE VISIBILITY AND ACCESS SO THAT COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES CAN GROW AND THRIVE IN THOSE TYPE OF AREAS. AND SO THIS IS THE EXISTING CONCEPT PLAN. THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE SHOWN IN BLUE WERE ORIGINALLY BACK IN 2019 WERE IMAGINED AS OFFICE.

THE PURPLE, OTHER COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS MAY HAVE A MIXTURE OF OFFICE, RETAIL, ENTERTAINMENT, PERSONAL SERVICE, AND THE ORANGE BUILDINGS ARE THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS PRIMARILY MULTIFAMILY ON TOP OF GROUND FLOOR AND COMMERCIAL.

YOU CAN SEE THE MULTIFAMILY'S CLUSTERED UP IN THE NORTHERN AREA OF THE SITE AND A LITTLE BIT ON THE WESTERN CENTRAL PORTION AND YOU CAN SEE THE SOUTHERN AREA THAT WAS ORIGINALLY ENVISIONED AS SOLELY OFFICE.

AND THE MARKET DOES NOT REALLY A COMMAND THAT TYPE OF CONFIGURATION ANYMORE AND YOU CAN SEE YOU CAN SEE THE TWO BUILDINGS, YOU SHOW ON THE SCREEN, AND SO AND CONTRAST THE PLAN IS BRINGING SOMETHING DOWN CLOSER TO THE BUILDINGS AND FOUND THAT IN THE REALMS OF DISTRICT, THE MIXED-USE BUILDINGS WITH RESIDENTIAL ON TOP OF COMMERCIAL REALLY HELPED ACTIVATE SOME OF THE OFFICE BUILDINGS IN THAT AREA.

THEY FILLED UP QUITE QUICKLY ONCE ALL THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES OPENED AND THE GROUND FLOORS OF THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. THAT IS A CONCEPT THAT WE ARE TRYING TO REPLICATE IN THE SOUTHERN AREA OF CROWN CENTER.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THERE IS STILL -- THE PURPLE IS ILLUSTRATING THE OFFICE SO THERE'S STILL A PRETTY LARGE

[01:00:04]

THIS IS A CLUSTER ON THE LARGE OPEN SPACE AND THE RESTAURANT RETAIL, THERE'S A VERY HIGH DEMAND FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT.

FURTHER NORTH ALONG 544. A LARGER RETAIL ANCHOR THERE IS A GROCERY STORE OR COULD BE MAJOR RETAIL ON THAT SITE BUT THERE IS BEEN SOME INTEREST IN DEMAND FOR THAT TYPE OF CONFIGURATION IN THE AREAS OF THIS CONCEPT PLAN REFLECTS THAT DEMAND THAT IS EXPECTED. THEIR FRAMEWORK PLAN IS REALLY THE BONES OF THE OVERALL SUBDISTRICT.

IT'S THE STREET, THE VEHICULAR ACCESS NETWORK ALONG WITH THE PEDESTRIAN NETWORK MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED PROPERLY. THIS IS WHAT IS EXISTING, REFLECTING THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE EXISTING ENVISION CONCEPT. THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS THE REVISED FRAMEWORK PLAN WHICH TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION THE NEW MIXTURE OF USES REFLECTED ON THE CONCEPT PLAN AND REINFORCING THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ALL OF THOSE NEW USES.

THE FINAL COMPONENT PROVIDES TONIGHT IS THE ADDITION OF ONE ADDITIONAL CROSS-SECTION AND THIS IS REFLECTING THE ROAD THAT TRAVERSES NORTH AND SOUTH THROUGH CROWN CENTER.

AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S GIVING THE OPTION OF ADDING ON STREET PARKING WHICH AIDS IN THE MIXTURE OF USES IN THE ACTIVATION OF THE AREA AND IT REINFORCES THE ACTIVITY IN CROWN CENTER PROVIDING AS A TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR THE BUSINESSES TO LOCATE IN THE AREA. OVER ALL IT PROVIDES A LITTLE MORE OPTIONS AS THIS DEVELOPS OUT.
