[00:10:01]

[LAUGHTER] >> ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT WE ARE DONE WITH THE AGENDA, WE WILL GO OVER TO ERICA

TANG FOR A PRESENTATION. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS ERICA TANG, THE RECREATION MANAGER FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW ME.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR THEY WHILE NOW.

SO I'M EXCITED TO PRESENT WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS.

SO WE WILL COVER A VARIETY OF TOPICS AND GET INTO EACH OF THEM MORE IN A MINUTE. WILL START AT THE BEGINNING AND MOVING FORWARD TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.

SO THRIVE IS AN 87,000 MULTIGENERATIONAL RECREATION CENTER IN LEWISVILLE. IT JOSE VARIETY OF AMENITIES.

THERE IS AN INDOOR CHILD AREA, CHILD WATCH, AND OVERSIZED GYMNASIUM, AN INDOOR POOL WITH DIFFERENT AMENITIES INSIDE THE POOL, TWO FITNESS STUDIOS. WE HAVE AN INDOOR WALKING TRACK, A VARIETY OF EQUIPMENT, FROM CARDIO, STRENGTH EQUIPMENT TO OTHER THINGS. AND MOVING TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, WE HAVE A VARIETY OF CLASSROOM SPACES, A LOT OF GATHERING AND LOUNGE AREAS FOR PEOPLE TO WORK AND BE.

THRIVE SITS INSIDE A MEMORIAL PARK SO THERE IS AN ADJACENT TRAIL SYSTEM AS WELL AS A PLAYGROUND AND A GREEN SPACE AND AREAS ADJACENT TO IT. THERE IS LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY OUTSIDE THE BUILDING BUT ALSO INSIDE THE BUILDING.

GOING BACK TO THE FINANCIAL STABILITY STRATEGY, IT'S WHAT WE USED TO MAKE BIT-- BUSINESS DECISIONS.

AND HOW THIS WORKS IS THE BOTTOM LEFT IS THE GREATEST COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE WITH ACCESS TO GREEN SPACES, PARKS, AND THAT HAS A LOWER COST RECOVERY COMPARED TO GOING TO THE UPPER RIGHT FOR PRIVATE LESSONS AND MERCHANDISE, THINGS LIKE THAT THAT HAVE A INDIVIDUALIZED BENEFIT AND A HIGHER COST RECOVERY EXPECTATION.

AND EVERYTHING FALLS OUT IN BETWEEN THE PROGRAMS AND ACCESS EVENTS. AND THAT.

A LITTLE BIT ON THE HISTORY, THIS WAS REALLY ESTABLISHED WHEN WE WENT FOR MEMBERSHIP FEES. IT GAVE US A GUIDING FRAMEWORK TO SET THOSE FEES. SO MEMBERSHIP FEES ARE UNDER THIS ACCESS CATEGORY OF BEING COST RECOVERABLE AT TEN TO 25%.

SO THE ORIGINAL FEES WERE SET FOR THRIVE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

AND WE MOVED IT OVER IN 2020 MID PANDEMIC.

WE SET THE MEMBERSHIP FEES THAT THRIVE IN THE IDEA WAS THAT THERE WOULD BE PROGRAMS-- IT WOULD NOT BE AN ALL-INCLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP. THERAPY AND AMENITY THAT WAS INCLUDED AND SOME THAT WERE NOT. BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS AT THE TIME, WE MADE THE DECISION TO PROMOTE THE SALES AND GET PEOPLE IN TO THE BUILDING. JANUARY 2024 WAS THE FIRST MEMBER FEE INCREASE WE DID TO OUR NONRESIDENT FEES.

AND LATER THAT YEAR IN DECEMBER 2024 WE STARTED TO LOOK AT OUR FITNESS CLASSES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE MEMBERSHIP AND IDENTIFIED SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE PULLED OUT INTO WHAT WE CALL A FAVOR PAY STRUCTURE. OUR ORIGINAL GOAL WAS TO HAVE 50% TO BE PAID FOR PLAY. ON THOSE ONES AT BE INCLUDED IN THE MEMBERSHIP WHERE THOSE INTRODUCTORY LEVEL CLASSES THAT REALLY GET PEOPLE'S FEET WET. PEOPLE CAN WALK IN THE DOOR AND GET THEIR FEET IN THE CLASSIC BE SUCCESSFUL.

THE ONES THAT WERE MORE INTERMEDIATE AND REQUIRED SOME KNOWLEDGE FOR-- OUR SKILLS TO PARTICIPATE OR A HIGHER LEVEL OF CERTIFICATION. AND THEN WE HAD FITNESS CLASSES BASED ON THE ENVIRONMENT. SO EVERY YEAR WE DO A COST RECOVERY ANALYSIS OF THE DEPARTMENT AND HOW WE ARE PERFORMING. THIS YEAR WE PARTNERED WITH A DIFFERENT GROUP CALLED 100 10% THEY GAVE US A DIFFERENT ANALYSIS THEN WE HAVE SEEN IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

BUT THE ANALYSIS GAVE US HIS WE WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT EACH OF THE FACILITIES WE HAD, AND HOW IT COMPARES ALONG EACH OF THE SERVICE CATEGORIES. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING. YOU CAN SEE DROP AND MONITOR ACCESS IS PERFORMING WELL, AND LOOKING AT DROP-IN ACTIVITIES, THIS IS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THOSE FITNESS CLASSES LIVE.

SO THERE IS A DISCREPANCY THERE IN MEETING THAT COST RECOVERY GOAL AND ACROSS THE BOARD FOR SOME OF THE SERVICE CATEGORIES AS WELL. LOOKING AT THE DIRECT COST

[00:15:03]

SO OVER TIME THIS GAP IS JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

SO WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT STRATEGIES AND HOW TO CLOSE THAT GAP AND MAKE THE LONG-TERM DRIVING MORE SUSTAINABLE.

ONE OF THE THINGS TO NOTE HERE IS BETWEEN FISCAL YEAR 23 TO 24TH, THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT JUMP IN EXPENSES.

SO WHEN WE DOVE INTO THE NUMBERS WE SAW A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN OUR UTILITIES. GAS, ELECTRIC.

AND OVER A 60% INCREASE IN OUR WATER USAGE.

AND THAT WAS THE YEAR WE DID A COMPENSATION STUDY THAT NEEDED ABOUT 10% OF THE INCREASES AND EXPENSES AS WELL.

SO THAT INCREASING UTILITIES REALLY TELLS US THAT WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE COME THROUGH THE DOOR AND USE THE FACILITY AND ACCESS IT. SO THIS IS A HEAT MAP OF OUR MEMBERSHIP BASE. THE EXCESS WHERE THRIVE IS.

AND THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF MEMBERS ARE DIRECTLY LOCATED IN THE IMMEDIATE PROPERTY ON THRIVE.

AS YOU GET OUT INTO THE CITY LIMITS OF LEWISVILLE, OUR MEMBERSHIP DECREASES ON THAT SO WE EXPECT FOR THE MAKEUP OF THESE MEMBERSHIPS. LOOKING AT THE DEMOGRAPHIC OF MEMBERSHIP TYPES, ON THE CHART ON THE LEFT YOU CAN SEE ABOUT 44% OF OUR MEMBERSHIPS ARE SENIOR MEMBERSHIPS, FOLLOWED BY OTHER MEMBERSHIPS. THE CHART ON THE RIGHT IS THE REVENUE DISTRIBUTION BY MEMBERSHIP TYPE.

SO YOU CAN SEE OVER 58% OF OUR MEMBERSHIP REVENUE IS DRIVEN BY THOSE FAMILY MEMBERSHIPS. FOLLOWED BY ADULT AND SENIOR AND YOUTH MAKING UP A MAJOR PORTION OF THAT.

AS I MENTIONED, THRIVE OFFERS AN ABUNDANCE OF PROGRAMS. IN YEAR 23 WE WERE COMING OUT OF COVIDIEN WE'VE BEEN STRUGGLING TO FIND PROGRAMS THAT WORK. WE SAW A LOT OF TURNOVER, AND IN FISCAL YEAR 24 WE MADE COMPENSATIONS THAT WENT INTO EFFECT. WE ARE ATTAINED HIGHLY QUALIFIED STAFF THAT WAS CREATIVE AND ABLE TO GET THESE PROGRAMS REALLY OFF THE GROUND. SO WE CONTINUED TO SEE AN INCREASE IN NUMBER OF PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OFFER AT THRIVE. OVER EACH OF THE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN ABOUT OVER 50% OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE OFFER OUR FREE TO MEMBERSHIP AT THRIVE. WITH SOME PROGRAMS BEING PAID.

THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE ENGAGED IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT GROUPS, WE HAVE WORKSHOPS, WE WENT TO THE PARK BOARD IN MARCH AND AGAIN IN MAY. WE PUT OUT A MEMBERSHIP SURVEY, AND WE HOSTED A THRIVE TALKS EVENT, WHICH WAS LIKE A TOWN HALL, WHERE MEMBERS CAN COME THROUGH THRIVE, TALK TO STAFF, PROVIDE FEEDBACK, IDEAS, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS, AND ENGAGE WITH THE STAFF AND TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE IN THE FUTURE OF THRIVE. WE PUT OUT A SURVEY IN MARCH TO APRIL OF THIS YEAR. THE SURVEY WENT OUT FOR A TWO WEEK PERIOD. WE SENT EMAILS TO ALL OF OUR MEMBERS. FOUR EMAILS, AND WE HAD PLAYERS JUST RIVETED THROUGHOUT FACILITIES AS PEOPLE CHECKED IN OR WALKED IN TO FITNESS CLASSES WITH A QR CODE FOR MEMBERS TO ACCESS THE SURVEY AS WELL. SO WE HAD A GOOD TEMPERATURE IMPULSIVE WHERE THRIVE IS AT AND HOW MEMBERS VIEW THEIR MEMBERSHIP AT THRIVE. OVER 96% RATED THEIR MEMBERSHIP AT THRIVE AS GOOD OR EXCELLENT VALUE, WITH OVER 80% OF RESPONDENTS SAYING THAT THRIVE COMPARES FAVORABLY TO OTHER COMPETING FACILITIES. OVER 73% OF RESPONDENTS INDICATED THAT THAT FEE INCREASE WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE, AND OVER 52% SAID THEY WERE FOR SMALLER MORE FREQUENT INCREASES OVER A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME COMPARED TO LARGER INCREASES OVER A LARGER AMOUNT OF TIME. IN THE SURVEY WE LEFT AN OPEN-ENDED SECTION FOR PEOPLE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND INPUT ON WHATEVER THEY WANTED, AND THERE WAS A COMMON THEME THAT WE HEARD IN THIS SECTION OF THE SURVEY. A LOT OF IT CENTERED AROUND MEMBERSHIPS AND ACCESS TO MEMBERSHIPS.

HOW BUSY IT CAN GET AND ACCESS TO THE POOL.

INTERNALLY, WE STARTED IDENTIFYING WAYS TO WORK THROUGH THIS. WE LOOKED AT SOME PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THAT WERE PURCHASING THAT WILL HELP DISTRIBUTE SOME OF THE USE IN THE AREAS TO OTHER PARTS OF THE FACILITIES, AND WE ARE WORKING WITH STAFF TO SEE IF WE CAN OPEN UP THE LAP LANES A BIT EARLIER SO PEOPLE CAN WORK OUT AND GO HOME.

SO WE DO A VARIETY OF WORKSHOPS. WE MET WITH THE STAFF OUT AT THRIVE, WE HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE, THE PRIVATE INVESTORS, AND OUR

[00:20:03]

BUT ONE COMMON THEME WE HEARD WAS THE NEED TO SPLIT OUT INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIPS. WE CONTINUE TO HEAR THAT THERE IS A GROUP OF SENIORS WITHIN THRIVE THAT ONLY USE THRIVE AS TRADITIONAL SENIOR PROGRAMMING. AND THIS IS OUR PRICE-SENSITIVE GROUP. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE SENSITIVE TO THAT, AND WE HEARD THERE WAS A LARGE GROUP OF THAT SENIOR POPULATION THAT USE THRIVE AND THE AMENITIES.

SO THESE ACTIVE ADULTS ARE USED-- IN THE POOL, USING THE FITNESS FOR, USING THE EQUIPMENT IN THE FITNESS CLASSES, WHEN WE DID AN ANALYSIS OF OUR FITNESS CLASSES, ABOUT 74% OF THE MAKEUP PARTICIPANTS IN OUR FITNESS CLASSES WERE THOSE SENIOR MEMBERSHIPS. SO WE KNOW THEY ARE IN THE FITNESS CLASSES AND UTILIZING THAT SIDE OF THE SPACE.

SO OUR SENIOR MEMBERS, WE WANT TO ALLOW THOSE PEOPLE WHO USE THRIVE AS SOCIALIZATION, OR AS A WAY TO GET OUT, TO BE ABLE TO STAY ON THAT SIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND THE ACTIVE ALL DEBT-- ADULT MEMBERSHIP WOULD ALLOW THE FULL USE OF THE SPACE IN THE AMENITIES THAT IT HAS IN LINE WITH THE UTILIZATION METHOD. SO SINCE THE ACTIVE ADULT MEMBERSHIP WAS MADE WE NEEDED TO LOOK AT INTERNAL RATES FOR NONRESIDENCE. SO WE CAN OFFER THAT AS WELL.

SO WE LOOKED AT THIS WITH A SIMILAR PRICE ADJUSTMENT.

ONE THING TO NOTE HERE IS THAT THE ACTIVE ADULT MEMBERSHIP FOR THRIVE ACTIVE ADULTS WAS AT $75. NONRESIDENCE, OR SENIORS, ON THE PASSIVE SIDE IS 90. SO WE ARE WELL BELOW THAT PRICE.

AS I MENTIONED, WE LOOKED AT SIMILAR FACILITIES WITH AMENITIES LIKE THRIVE. THE CITY HAS THE TYPICAL BENCHMARK CITIES, BUT WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT SIMILAR FACILITIES. SO WE LOOKED AT THOSE, WE HEARD FROM PARK BOARD THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME AS WELL, SO WE WERE SENSITIVE TO THAT.

SO THIS CHART MOVES FROM THE LOWEST MEDIAN INCOME TO THE HIGHEST MEDIAN INCOME ON THE BOTTOM.

AND THE TOP IS FOR THE COMPARISON.

THE MOST SIMILAR CONSULTANT-- FACILITY TO US IS THIS AREA WITH THE MEDIAN INCOME. AND THE NEXT ONE WE ARE SIMILAR TO IS THE... WE PUT THESE INTO A GRAPH AND LOOK AT EACH OF THE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP TYPES. THIS IS THE YOUTH MEMBERSHIP TYPE. WE ARE LOOKING AT A MEDIAN INCOME GOING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TO LOWEST TO HIGHEST.

SO THE BLACK IS THE CURRENT RATE AND THE ORANGE IS THE INCREASED RATE. SO WE ARE WELL BELOW WHATEVER COMPARABLE FACILITY CHARGES, AND BELOW THAT.

LOOKING AT THE SENIOR MEMBERSHIP, THE ORANGES THE PROPOSED SENIOR MEMBERSHIP, WITH THE DARK BLUE AS THE ACTIVE ADULT MEMBERSHIP, AND YOU CAN SEE WE ARE WELL BELOW THE MEDIAN AVERAGE THERE AND BELOW WHAT OTHER SIMILAR FACILITIES ARE CHARGING FOR THEIR SENIOR MEMBERSHIPS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OTHER FACILITIES DO AS THEY HAVE A WET OR DRY ACCESS. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THE SENIOR VERSUS ACTIVE ADULT, AND THIS IS HOW THAT FARES OUT THERE.

AND ONE THING TO NOTE HERE IS THIS IS A LITTLE LOWER THAN US.

ONE THING THEY DO IS A CHARGE THE SAME RATE FOR THEIR SENIOR AND ADULT RESIDENTS. EVERYONE PAYS 125 FOR AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP. SO THEY ARE NOT SUBSIDIZING THEIR ADULTS LIKE OTHER FACILITIES ARE.

AND BELOW THAT, THIS IS WHERE THE FAMILY FALLS INTO COMPARABLE WHAT OTHER FACILITIES ARE CHARGING.

SO THE RATES WE ARE LOOKING AT, WE ARE LOOKING DIFFERENTLY THROUGH THE BUDGET 27 PROCESS, AND WE ARE SCHEDULED FOR APPROVAL. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ASK IN THE SURVEY WAS HOW MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE RATE INCREASES.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOKED UP WAS THE CPI OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS WITH 23-24-25, AN AVERAGE OF 2.5%.

[00:25:08]

AND WE LOOK AT INCREMENTAL RATE ADJUSTMENTS TO NOT EXCEED THE PREVIOUS YEARS WE ARE LOOKING AT, AND THAT WOULD ALTERNATE-- ALTERNATE BETWEEN RESIDENTS OR NONRESIDENCE, SO WE ARE NOT INCREASING FEES ON OUR ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP AT ONCE.

AND WE TALKED A BIT ABOUT THE PAY FOR PLAY.

OUR ORIGINAL GOAL WAS 15%. WE ARE CURRENTLY MAINTAINING ABOUT A 30% PAY FOR PLAY MODEL RIGHT NOW WITH A FIVE-YEAR GOAL TO REACH 50% OF THOSE CLASSES TO BE PAID.

ONE THING WE CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM OUR MEMBERS IS THAT FITNESS CLASSES ARE IN HIGH DEMAND. LOTS OF THEM SELLOUT WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF THEM OPENING AND IT'S DIFFICULT FOR MEMBERS TO ACCESS THOSE CLASSES. THE OTHER THING WE HEARD FROM THE SURVEY IS THAT THERE IS A STRONG SUPPORT FOR INCLUDING SOME FITNESS CLASSES IN THE MEMBERSHIP, IF THAT WAS A DRIVER FOR THEIR MEMBERSHIP. SO THIS IS A LIST OF THE CURRENT FITNESS CLASSES WE HAVE AT THRIVE.

THE GREEN ARE THOSE TRADITIONAL BEGINNER LEVEL CLASSES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. THE INTENT IS THAT THESE CONTINUE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE MEMBERSHIP, IF THERE WAS A HIGH DEMAND FOR SOME OF THESE CLASSES WE COULD LOOK AT OFFERING A SECONDER THIRD TIME AND MAKING THAT TIME PAID.

BUT THERE WOULD STILL BE AN ENTRY-LEVEL CLASS THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THE MEMBERSHIP. THE DARK BLUE ARE VARIOUS DIFFERENT CLASSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE MEMBERSHIP, AND THESE ARE ONES THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT TO GET TO THE FITNESS CLASSES THAT HAVE BEEN PAID, OR WE CAN OFFER SEPARATE TIMES, AND THAT CAN BE PAID WITH AN INCLUDED OPTION AS WELL. AND THE ORANGE, OUR CURRENT CLASSES THAT WE CURRENTLY OFFER AT THRIVE ARE PAID.

SO THIS IS A COOL PROGRAM PRICING TOOL.

THIS IS THE GROUP WE PARTNER WITH FOR COST RECOVERY.

ONE THING WE HAVE NOW IS THIS PROGRAM LISTENING TO A.

IT'S REALLY A TOOL FOR OUR TEAMS TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH THEIR PROGRAMS. SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN PLUG IN A PROGRAM, A 5K FUN RUN FOR EXAMPLE.

WE CAN PUT THE EVENT THROUGH THIS TOOL AND WE CAN TELL IT WHAT TIME, WE CAN TELL IT WHERE IT WILL HAPPEN, THE LOCATION, THE STAFFING COST, THE SUPPLY COST, AND WHERE IT FALLS IN THAT COST RECOVERY CONTINUING. AND IT WILL SUGGEST A PRICE FOR THAT PROGRAM TO GET THE COST RECOVERY FOR THAT CATEGORY.

AND WE ALSO HAVE A RETROSPECTIVE ELEMENTARY AS WELL, WHERE AFTER THAT HAPPENS WE CAN GO BACK TO THE TOOL, PLUG-IN WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, AND IT CAN TELL US HOW THAT PROGRAM PERFORMED ON THE COST RECOVERY UNIT AS WELL. SO WE CAN USE THIS TOOL TO LOOK AT PREVIOUS AND CURRENT CLASSES WE ARE OFFERING TO IDENTIFY SOME PROGRAMS ARE CLASSES THAT ARE NOT MEETING THEIR COST RECOVERY GOALS AND LOOK AT INVESTING THOSE FROM THIS TOOL.

WE ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS TOOL.

AND THE TEAM IS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT AS WELL.

AND ONE THING THEY OFFER HERE IS A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM.

THEY INCLUDE SCHOLARSHIPS TO THRIVE FOR THAT.

OUR ANNUAL MEMBERS ALSO HAVE CURRENT BENEFITS OF 10% OFF CAMPS AND RENTALS, AND THOSE GROUP EXERCISES, WHICH ARE INTRODUCTORY LEVEL CLASSES, WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN INCLUDED IN THAT MEMBERSHIP AND WE PLAN TO RETAIN THOSE BENEFITS AS WELL.

ALTERNATING RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT PRICE ADJUSTMENTS, SO WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT, AND ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT WE ARE-- THAT WE HEARD FROM STAFF WAS ENHANCING THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY AND EXPERIENCE IN MAINTAINING THE VALUE THAT PEOPLE FEEL FOR THEIR MEMBERSHIP.

SO THE TEAM HAS BEEN TASKED WITH SOME IDEAS FROM THE TIME THAT SOMEONE INTERACTS WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR ON THE WEBSITE, WHEN THEY WALK THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, HOW CAN WE ENHANCE THAT EXPERIENCE AND JOURNEY FOR ALL OUR MEMBERS.

ONE IDEA WAS A REWARDS PROGRAM. REWARDING OUR MEMBERS AS THEY COME THROUGH THE FACILITY. ENGAGING AND PARTICIPATING IN PROGRAMS AND CELEBRATING THERE ALONG WITH THE JOURNEY.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU WELL. I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS, STACY AND MARCUS ARE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.

I WANTED TO SHOUT OUT JAZZMEN, IN THE BACK, SHE IS OUR ASSISTANT MANAGER. HER AND HER TEAM HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US GET TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.

>> WAS THE ACTIVE ADULT COMMENT PROVIDED IN THE SURVEY?

-- CONTENT? >> WHY IS THAT?

[00:30:02]

>> THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND THE PARK BOARD, THOSE ARE KIND OF HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.

SO WE DID NOT KNOW THAT IDEA OR THAT CONCEPT WAS DESIRABLE WHEN

WE DID THAT. >> DO KNOW THAT THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT WAS BEHIND THE 25-DOLLAR? WAS THERE A CONCEPT TO MAKE THAT $25.5 YEARS AGO, OR JUST MAKE IT

$25? >> AS FAR AS WHEN WE OPENED THE

FACILITY? >> WAS THERE ANY KIND OF CONCEPT

FOR THAT? >> NO.

>> OKAY. IIC 24% SENIOR PARTICIPATION, 52%... INCREASES THREE TO FIVE YEARS.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE 25 TO 75-DOLLAR FEE.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE TO DO 15. IT'S A LOT, THAT KIND OF JUMP.

THE YOUTH, I FEEL LIKE WE COULD RAISE NOT JUST A HAIR.

BUT THE JUMP WAS WAY HIGHER IN THE SURVEY RESULT? ALSO ON MARCH, IT'S ONLY MAKING LIKE 5000.

DO WE KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER IS, HOW MUCH WE MADE ON MARCH?

>> WE DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER ON HAND.

WE CAN GET THAT FOR YOU. ONE THING THAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT, IN THE PAST WE HAVE INVESTED IN THE MERCHANDISE AND BOUGHT TO CELL. SO WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS AN ON-DEMAND MODEL WHERE WE CAN HAVE IT AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR PEOPLE TO PURCHASE, AND DROP SHIP.

SO WE AREN'T INVESTING IN THE MERCHANDISE BUT WE STILL HAVE IT

AS AN AMENITY. >> I'M SURE YOU HAVE PROBABLY HAD A BIT MORE SALES. BUT I'M NOT SURE IT'S WORTH IT

FOR 5000. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE THAT WERE ABLE TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION, BEFORE THIS EVEN OPENED, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THIS IS A SUSTAINABLE FACILITY THAT WE CAN FINANCIALLY MAKE THE NUMBERS WORK, AND WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT AND SUPPORT, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE USING THE FACILITIES FIND VALUE IN IT.

SO I ENCOURAGE THEM TO RECOGNIZE THAT, HEY,, I DON'T WANT TO PAY MORE, BUT IF WE NEED TO KEEP THE FACILITY WHAT IT IS, THEN WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT. SO ON THIS-- I DON'T KNOW WHO SLIDE THIS IS. BUT ON THE THRIVE PROGRAM COST RECOVERY, WHERE IT SHOWS KIND OF WHAT OUR GOALS ARE AND WHERE OUR ACTUALS WERE FOR 2025, THAT ONE. IF WE MOVE TO A STRUCTURE WHERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ADJUSTING MEMBERSHIP FEES, AS PRESENTED HERE, WHERE DOES THAT FIT? IS THAT WHERE WE NEED TO BE, ALL THESE CATEGORIES? WHERE DOES THAT PUT UP-- PUT US

WITH ALL OF THIS? >> WE LOOK AT IT AS A CONTINUUM, AS A WHOLE, SO WE KNOW THERE'S MORE INDIVIDUALIZED BENEFITS TO HELP SUBSIDIZE THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS FOR THE FACILITY.

SO IT WOULD GET US CLOSER TO OUR GOALS, BUT WE LOOK AT IT AS A CONTINUUM, AS A WHOLE, IN THAT SENSE.

>> MY OTHER QUESTION WOULD BE, AS FAR AS THE SENIOR MEMBERSHIP GOES, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AN ANNUAL PASS, DO WE HAVE THE OPTION FOR SENIORS TO MAKE INSTALLMENTS ON THAT PAYMENT? THE MONTHLY FEE? OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT HAS TO

BE DONE ONE TIME? >> IT STEPHANIE SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK AT. OUR SYSTEM WOULD ALLOW FOR IT.

SO WE CAN DEFINITELY DISCUSS IT INTERNALLY, IF THAT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD WANT TO. BUT IT COULD BE AN OPTION.

>> JUST THINKING ABOUT A WAY TO SOFTEN THE BLOW.

THAT INCREASE WOULD BE TO BREAK IT UP INTO SMALLER EVENTS.

50 DIVIDED BY 12, WHATEVER THAT IS.

YES. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE EMERGE.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A YEAR AGO.

[00:35:01]

>> SO WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A PARTNER THAT IS ADA ACCESSIBLE SINCE WERE GOING TO BE UTILIZING THE FEATURE AS WELL.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE THRIVE TEAM IS WORKING ON IS OUR BRANDS, THERE-- THE SETTINGS ARE VERY STRICT, SO ARE LOOKING TO MODIFY THAT TO MAKE MORE APPEALING AND FUN MERCHANDISE.

SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THE BRANDING OF THAT IN THE FALL AND ROLLING SOME OF THAT OUT AFTER THAT.

WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING THIS FALL.

>> JUST A FEW QUESTIONS, AND YOU MAY HAVE THE ANSWERS.

DO YOU HAVE THE IDEA OF THE PERCENTAGE OF NONRESIDENTS AS

FAR AS TOTAL USERS? >> NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

>> I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT. CPI NUMBERS SEEM LOW.

THE CPI LAST YEAR WAS 2.7 I THINK.

>> MARCUS HELPING ME WITH THIS. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE RECR

RECREATION. >> SO YOU DON'T KNOW THE GENERAL CPI. OKAY, FAIR ENOUGH.

AND I APPRECIATE THE TWO SLIDES. THE ONE SHOWING COST OF VERSUS REVENUE GENERATION AND THE SECOND SLIDE SHOWING THE GOALS AND ARE YOU MAKING THEM. I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT, TO INFORMAL WERE DOING.

BUT I'M LOOKING AT THAT AND I'M SAYING WE STARTED WITH A 1 MILLION-DOLLAR GIFT, AND NOW WE ARE LITTLE OVER AT A TWO MILLION-DOLLAR GAP. SO THAT $2 MILLION OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND, THAT'S FINE, BUT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THAT.

SO I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT DATA SET WE NEED TO KEEP IN LINE. -- IN MIND THROUGH ALL OF THIS.

WAS THE MIND-SET THAT ACTIVE ADULTS WERE STILL EMPLOYED, THEY DO NOT FIXED INCOME ISSUES? AND THE LESS ACTIVE ADULTS MAYBE HAD MORE FIXED INCOME ISSUES? OR WAS THERE SOME THOUGHT TO

THAT? >> THOSE TRADITIONAL SENIORS ARE MORE PRICE-SENSITIVE. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE IN THE SENIOR CENTER, STILL HERE WITH US AND UTILIZING THE SPACE FOR WHAT IT IS. AND WE ARE SEEING THOSE ACTOR-- ACTIVE ADULT SENIOR MEMBERSHIP STARTED AGE 60 PLUS SO IT'S A WORKING GROUP IN THOSE CLASSES AND HAVE THOSE MEMBERSHIPS.

>> MAYBE THERE IS A WAY TO LOOK AT THAT AND SAY IF YOU'RE A 65 AND OLDER WERE GOING TO GO THIS WAY, IF YOUR 60 TO 65, YOU ARE GOING TO GO THAT WAY. MAYBE SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE LITTLE BIT? WOULD THAT HELP YOU?

>> I DON'T LIKE THE JUMP FROM 50 TO 75.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S IN THE SPIRIT OF WHAT THIS IS? -- OF WHAT THIS IS. THAT IS A BIG JUMP.

>> I GOT YOU. >> WE HAVEN'T DONE A PRICE

INCREASE SINCE 24. >> WE HAVEN'T DONE A PRICE INCREASE SINCE WE'VE BEEN...

>> THEY HAVE WORKING PARENTS. >> IT'S A LOW AMOUNT COMPARED TO WHAT THE AVERAGE IS, IN MY OPINION.

>> AND I THINK WHAT IS DRIVING THIS IS THE YOUTH TEND TO-- WE SEE THAT IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE RECOVERY SCALE.

SO BASED ON WHAT WE SAID, IT'S A COST RECOVERY.

THAT'S KIND OF THE QUESTION THAT WE ARE ALL TRYING TO SOLVE FOR RIGHT? IS THAT.

AND I GET IT. I WANT KIDS TO THRIVE, HANGING OUT THERE, VERSUS HANGING OUT ANYWHERE ELSE.

>> BUT THERE IS ALSO-- I'M CURIOUS IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW MANY KIDS HAVE-- BECAUSE YOU ONLY GET A YOUTH PASS IF YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS NOT GOING. RIGHT? OTHERWISE YOU JUST GET A FAMILY PASS.

SO THERE IS PROBABLY A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE KIDS THAT ARE THERE THAT ARE DOING THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE-- HOW MANY KIDS HAVE A MEMBERSHIP THAT IS JUST THEM.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE THAT WOULD MAKE IF

YOU INCREASE THAT. >> WHAT I'M HEARING IS WE CAN FIND SOME WAYS TO SMOOTH THIS OUT.

NOT MAKE QUITE AS BIG OF A BUMP BECAUSE OF THE THIRD-- SURVEY AND THE EXPECTATIONS. I APPRECIATE THE SPLIT OUT, I

[00:40:03]

IF YOU HAVE FOLKS ARE JUST USING THE QUIET SIDE OF THE BUILDING, THERE'S A LOT LESS IMPACT AND COST REPAIR TO GO WITH.

SO I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. BUT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND IF WE PUT A SURVEY OUT THERE AND SAID, HEY,, WE LIKE TO DO IT SMOOTHER, LET'S SEE IF THERE IS A WAY WE CAN DO THAT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING FROM COUNCIL.

>> SO IS EVERYONE WANTING? OKAY.

>> SO WE CAN SEE IF THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE THAT SO IT'S ON THE

SENIOR SIDE. >> OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO SAY.

>> THANK YOU ALL, GREAT WORK, GREAT DRIVE.

I'D MUCH RATHER MAKE THESE DECISIONS BASED ON DATA.

WE HAVE POLICY, BUT LET'S COME BACK TO IT.

GREAT JOB, THE FACILITY IS AWESOME.

>> NEXT UP WE HAVE THE PATRIOT RECOVERY LOW INCOME TAXING HOUSING REVIEW. OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR ASHLEY IS GOING TO INTRODUCE TRAVIS, THE PARTNER OF TITANIUM HOUSING PARTNERS. WE HAVE ONLY GOT ABOUT 12, 13 MINUTES HERE. SO IF YOU CANNOT WE WILL COME

BACK. >> I WILL BE BRIEF.

I WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPER ONCE-- IS SEEKING A 9% WELCOMED HOUSING TAX CREDIT THROUGH THE STATE, THEY REQUEST THE RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FROM THE CITY. SO TITANIUM CAME TO LEWISVILLE REQUESTING A RESOLUTION TO UP-- OF SUPPORT TO THE PROJECT WE WERE DISCUSSING, BY COUNCIL HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

SO WE ARE ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

TITANIUM IS HERE TO ANSWERS QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

THE APPLICATION IS NOT BEEN APPROVED YET.

THAT'S DEPENDENT ON ZONING CHANGES.

SO THEY ARE JUST HERE TO DISCUSS ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE. I WILL PASS IT OVER.

WE ALSO HAVE PARTNERS FROM OTHER AREAS TO TALK ON OTHER SLIDES AS

WELL. >> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US HERE TO PRESENT.

WE HAVE ABOUT 20 SLIDES. I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AND LEAD 5 MINUTES OR SO FOR QUESTIONS. SO LET US GET STARTED.

MOST OF THE PRESENTATION I WILL FOCUS ON PART ONE, THE UPDATES.

PART TWO, THE VETERANS KEY FINDINGS.

WILL GO OVER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN A BIT AND I WILL GO OVER OUR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS AS A DEVELOPER.

SO... THE ZONING APPLICATION IS THE AS A STRAIGHT REZONING, EXCEPT FOR THIS TIME WE HAVE THREE CRITICAL UPDATES.

THAT INCLUDES 1300 SQUARE-FOOT PATRIOTS PATH SERVICE, A DEDICATED RESIDENT SERVICE FOR VETERANS THAT LIVE ON-SITE AND OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY. IF YOU LIVE WITHIN THIS AREA, AND YOU WANT FREE VETERAN SERVICES, YOU CAN COME TO THE COMMUNITY AND RECEIVE THOSE SERVICES.

WE ABLE HAVE-- WE HAVE UNIVERSAL DESIGN ELEMENTS.

AND A DIGITAL DEVELOP IN STANDARD THAT I TOUCHED ON A LITTLE BIT. I'LL GO BACK TO WHAT ASHLEY BROUGHT UP, WE SUBMITTED A 20269% HOUSING APPLICATION.

IN FEBRUARY I CAME TO FOR RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT WHICH WE RECEIVED, AND NOW I WILL ANNOUNCE THAT IN THIS COMPETITIVE APPLICATION PROCESS WE ARE GOING-- IN THE TOP TEN APPLICATIONS IN THIS REGION. AND THAT MEANS THIS DEAL IS SLATED FOR 16 MILLION-DOLLAR EQUITY AWARD FOR TAX CREDITS.

THAT $60 BILLION OF INVESTMENT IN THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE.

AT THIS POINT, AND THAT IS ONLY CONTINGENT UPON THE CAN-- APPROVED ZONING APPLICATION. SO ASHLEY IS CORRECT WERE NOT APPROVED YET, BUT WE ARE PROJECTED TO BE FUNDED FOR $60 MILLION IN TAX CREDITS I COULD GO INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN. IT SIMILAR TO THE FIRST ONE YOU MAY SEE. ONE THREE-STORY BUILDING WITH 48 UNITS. AND WHAT I WILL HIGHLIGHT IS THIS NEW PATRIOT PATH SERVICE CENTER.

STAND-ALONE ONE-STORY BUILDING STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE GATED SO IT CAN BE PUBLICLY ACCESSED BUT SEPARATE FROM THE PRIVATE COMMUNITY. IT WILL SERVE THE RESIDENTS AND

[00:45:04]

ONE BUILDING, THREE STORIES. THIS IS A RENDERING THAT WE ARE PUTTING INTO OUR PD AS A RESTRICTION OR A REQUIREMENT AS AN EXHIBIT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE FINAL LOOKING PROJECT AND THIS GIVES YOU AN OVERVIEW OF HOW THE SERVICE CENTER KIND OF LAYS OUT ADJACENT TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND WERE REALLY PROUD OF HOW IT TURNED OUT.

AS FAR AS TO BELLMAN STANDARDS, THESE ARE STANDARDS WE ARE OFFERING TO ADD TO OUR ZONING,-- TWO CHURCHES.

WE HAVE A HIGHLY AMENDED TIES ABOVE AND BEYOND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT STRICTLY FOR VETERANS.

OUR GOAL TO DO THAT IS ALL UNITS WILL BE CREATED COUNTERTOPS, 9-FOOT CEILINGS, COVERED BALCONIES, ELEVATORS, 88 ACCESSIBLE, AND DIMENSIONS, 800 SQUARE-FOOT RESIDENT BUILDING WOULD BE WRITTEN INTO OUR PD AS REQUIRED USE.

THESE ARE PHOTOS FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES OF OURS.

SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE OUTLINED. AND WE ARE PROUD OF OUR COMMON AREA AMENITIES. WE INVESTED A LOT INTO THE DESIGN. THESE ARE SOME COMMON AREA PHOTOS AND THESE ARE UNIT PHOTOS THAT WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU.

GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, HARDWOOD FLOORING.

LARGE WINDOWS AND BALCONIES IN EVERY HOODED.

REALLY NICE. THE LAST PART OF PART ONE THE MILITARY. NETWORK, WHICH WE ENTERED IN AM I YOU WITH ON APRIL 14TH. WE HAVE CASEY HERE, AND CASEY, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A MOMENT-- MOMENT IF YOU WANT TO SAY SOME WORDS ABOUT HOW PATRIOT POINT CAN BE A BENEFIT FOR ALL THE PROGRAMS TO HELP REACH MORE VETERANS WHO ARE IN NEED.

I WILL BE BRIEF. >> MY NAME IS CASEY BROWN.

I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. WE ARE STATEWIDE, UNDER THE TEXAS COMMISSION AND WERE SUPERVISED...

WHAT WE HAD PLANNED TO DO WITH THAT MOU IS PROVIDE DIRECT SERVICES FOR ANY VETERAN AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WANT TO STAY IN THE VICINITY OR LOCAL COMMUNITY.

WHAT DO THOSE SERVICES MEAN? IT COULD BE SPECIFIC, TRANSACTIONAL WORK FOR DISABILITY BENEFITS, EDUCATION BENEFITS, IF THEY ARE CITY EMPLOYMENT OR DEALING WITH DIVORCES OR MARITAL ISSUES. WE HAVE PRESUPPORT BOOTHS.

SO WE HAVE NONTRADITIONAL PRESUPPORT GROUPS AND THEN TRADITIONAL ONES. WE TALK ABOUT ISSUES AND POST HERMETIC, SMALL INJURIES SUBSTANCE USE.

AND WE WILL TAKE VETERANS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY FOR FISHING, ALTHING, HIKING, FOR-- HORSEBACK RIDING, WE BRING ALL OF THAT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND JUST OFFER IT TO THE RESIDENTS HERE

AS WELL. >> I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE WILL BE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH A COMPANY TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND BASICALLY MANAGE THE ENTIRE SERVICE OPERATION IN FRONT OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND AN ONGOING MONTHLY FEE OF $1000. AND WE WILL NOT BE SEEKING ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE.

AND WE CAN SHARE A COPY OF THIS MOU IN MORE DETAIL.

I'M GOING TO SKIP OVER THE NEXT FEW.

WE DID A LOT RESEARCH, HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF RESEARCH ON THE FINDINGS OF... WE LOOKED AT IT ON A NATIONAL SCALE, AND ALL I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ON NATIONAL IS THE VA HELPS 50,000 VETERANS PER YEAR. AND IT'S UP TO THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE CITY TO CAPITALIZE ON THOSE FINANCIAL PROGRAMS. LET ME GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE. I WANT TO POINT OUT, THE FIRST TWO SECTIONS HERE ARE BROKEN DOWN THROUGH THE TEXAS VETERANS COMMISSION. A STUDY DONE IN 2024, THAT REALLY ELABORATED ON THERE WAS LOTS OF VETERANS WHO RESPOND TO SURVEYS THAT THE TWO BIGGEST NEEDS ARE HOUSING AND VA BENEFITS NAVIGATION. IT IS NOT A LACK OF THE AVAILABILITY FOR THESE SERVICES. IT'S A LACK OF THESE VETERANS DON'T KNOW HOW TO START THE PROCESS.

THEY DON'T HAVE HELP OR COORDINATORS THAT HELP THEM THROUGH OBTAINING THIS NAVIGATION.

AND HOUSING WAS ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES AS WELL.

[00:50:01]

AND THERE ARE DEFINITELY 43,000 VETERANS.

IN OUR ZIP CODE WE HAVE A LETTER FROM APARTMENT MARKET DATA THAT HAS TO BE ROUGHLY 1500 VETERANS WHO HAVE QUALIFIED TO LIVE AT OR DEVELOP-- OUR DEVELOP END. AND THE LETTER GOES ON TO SAY WE RESPECT THAT YOU COULD EASILY FILL THE 40-ACRE DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE WILL SHARE A COPY OF THAT LETTER IF THAT'S HELPFUL.

ON THE LAST SLIDE, I WANT TO MENTION TWO THINGS.

WE REACHED OUT WITH THE DALLAS VA AND CONNECTED WITH A PROGRAM MANAGER THERE. AND THE DALLAS VA SERVES 30 MILES BEYOND IT'S OFFICE, WHICH INCLUDES LEWISVILLE.

AND WE SAID HOW MANY VETERANS DO YOU SERVE CURRENTLY.

THEY HAVE 770 VETERANS ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN A HEALTHY PROGRAM.

AND WE SAID HOW MANY ARE IN THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE.

AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THERE IS NOT A LOT.

ONLY ABOUT 20 TO. AND THE REASON IS THERE'S ONLY TWO PROPERTIES IN THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE THAT ACTIVELY MARKET TO THE DALLAS VA. TO HOUSE VETERANS.

ONE OF THEM HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB AND WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY WITH THEM TO GET FEEDBACK AS WE BUILD THAT DEVELOPMENT. AND THEY WILL BE INVOLVED WITH US GOING FORWARD. THE OTHER ONE IS THE RESOURCE COUNCIL. AND WANT TO GIVE JOSE, WHO IS HERE, A MINUTE TO JUST SPEAK ABOUT WHAT HE SEES IN HIS DAY TO DAY, THE RECOVERY RESEARCH COUNCIL DOES HOUSING PLACEMENT MANAGEMENT FOR VETERANS IN THE CITY AND IN THE COUNTY.

AND I WILL LET YOU TAKE IT AWAY IF YOU WANT.

>> THANK YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL FOR LETTING ME SPEAK. [INDISCERNIBLE] ALL THESE DIFFERENT COUNTIES ARE CALLING ME OUT THESE DAYS.

BUT MAINLY LEWISVILLE. IT'S LIKE A COURT.

I WAS NOTICING THE COURT OR THAT THE PEOPLE GOING IN TO THE CITY FOR EMPLOYMENT OR JOBS, GOING INTO WORDS THE DO W AIRPORT.

SO IT'S LIKE A NATIONAL COURT OR.

SO FOR ME I'M TAKING IN PROBABLY TEN CLIENTS A WEEK, MAYBE THREE OF THOSE ARE LOOKING-- FROM THE LEWISVILLE AREA.

ALSO, FROM SOME STATS IS LOOKING AT, 39 PROPERTIES IN THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE FOR THESE VETERANS. SO IT IS CORRECT.

THERE IS NOT A LOT OF PROPERTIES THAT DO EXCEPT.

AND I WORK WITH LOTS OF THESE SPOTS.

PAID TO HELP VETERANS. SO THIS IDEA IS A GREAT IDEA.

THERE IS A NEED FOR THESE VETERANS TO NEED HOUSING, THIS COURT OR LIKE I TOLD YOU ABOUT, IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

IT'S AFFORDABLE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

SO YES. I'M TRYING TO THINK OF MY LAST POINTS. HOUSING-- RESOURCES.

HE TALKED ABOUT THAT. VETERANS ARE ABLE TO GO AND...

THAT'S A HUGE THING THAT A LOT OF VETERANS, THEY GET RELEASED AND THEY DON'T GO TO THE VA AND KNOW ABOUT THESE PENSIONS THEY ARE ABLE TO GET. SO, SO MUCH, IT'S LIKE GO GET ANY OPPORTUNITIES OR SERVICES THAT YOU HAVE DONE.

WE HAVE ALL SERVED. I FEEL LIKE IF YOU HAVE YOU ARE ABLE TO GET THESE BENEFITS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU JOSE. >> I DON'T THINK WE WILL HAVE TIME. IN THE REMAINDER, THERE ARE A LOT OF CASE STUDIES THAT WE TRY TO PUT TOGETHER TO SHOW YOU.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU ALL IF YOU HAVE A MOMENT AFTER TODAY'S MEETING TO GO THROUGH THESE AND LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO HAS A VERY SIMILAR STRUCTURE TO WHAT WERE PROPOSING.

AND THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO WAS KIND OF FLAGGED AS A FLAGSHIP DEVELOPMENT. THEY HAD GROUND BIG-- GROUNDBREAKING DATA, SO MANY VETERANS FROM DAY ONE.

WE WANT TO BE HERE TO OFFER A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY.

NOT THROUGH ANY KINDS OF CONTRIBUTIONS, BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT OPENING THIS INVESTMENT IS DONE.

[00:55:05]

TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. >> IF WE GO BACK TO PART ONE, FROM SAN ANTONIO, THAT'S A GREAT PROPERTY.

A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CONCEPT. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU DID A LOT OF WORK ON THIS. BUT...

>> FOR SURE. >> THANK YOU.

>> WHY DON'T WE TAKE A BREAK FOR WORKSHOP AND WE CAN COME BACK.

AND THEN YOU CAN PICK UP IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO CATCH. WE CAN USE TIME FOR THAT AND MORE QUESTIONS. WE WILL OPEN UP

THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT. WITHOUT, WE WILL GO BACK AND TO OUR WORKSHOP SESSION. WE HAVE A FEW MORE ITEMS TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT ONE. BUT I THINK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT AND BEING INVOLVED IN YOUR CITY.

THAT IS THE KEY. IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, OR ANTISOCIAL MEDIA, IT'S ABOUT BEING THERE AND LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR AND BEING INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.

SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. WE WILL GO INTO THAT ROOM.

IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BOARDROOM, YOU'RE WELCOME TO

PAY ATTENTION OR GRAB >> COUNCILOR?

>> OKAY. I MADE SOME NOTES HERE.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR VETERANS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. AN ABSOLUTE NEED EVERYWHERE.

BUT-- AND I AGREE THAT IT'S NOT BEING MET.

I AM A DAUGHTER AND STEPDAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER OF VETERANS, SO THIS IS A CAUSE THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME.

I DO SEE THAT THERE IS SOME CONFUSION.

I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE. SO I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE CASE STUDIES.

BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THE CASE STUDY, THIS ONE HERE.

THIS IS WHAT I WOULD QUALIFY AS A SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY TARGETED TO PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SUBSTANCE ABUSE, DRUG ADDICTIONS, SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. THE OTHER CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE A WRAPAROUND SERVICES. SO THAT WOULD BE WHAT I'M QUALIFYING AS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAMS, AND THEY ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT CONTINUUM OF CARE ALONG WITH DEDICATED CASE MANAGEMENT, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE, VOCATIONAL JOB TRAINING, ASSISTANCE AND COUNSELING. WHAT MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE COST OF DOING SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE IS THAT IT IS QUITE COSTLY. IT IS IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR FOR A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE.

SO WHAT I'M-- THAT'S JUST SUPPORTIVE HOUSING.

[01:05:03]

WE CAN FLIP TO THIS LIGHT. YOU MENTION THIS WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU ARE COMPOSING-- PROPOSING.

AND IT'S PRESENTED AS A TRADITIONAL MULTIUNIT FAMILY MODEL. RIGHT THERE.

IT ALSO IS UNDER THE-- IT'S MARKETED AS SERVING 100% VETERANS, HOWEVER IT ALSO SAYS RIGHT HERE THAT THERE ARE 20 UNITS OUT OF THE 118 UNITS THAT ARE SET ASIDE SPECIFICALLY F FOR... THAT IS 17% OF THE UNITS SET ASIDE FOR VETERANS.

FURTHER TO MY UNDERSTANDING, IF YOU LOOK ON THE WEBSITE, I WENT AND LOOKED AT THE WEBSITE FOR THIS PLACE TODAY.

I ONLY FOUND ONE MENTION OF A VETERAN.

THE WORD VETERAN WAS ON THEIR ONE TIME.

THIS APPEARS TO BE GEARED TOWARDS GENERAL POPULATION.

AND IN MY OPINION IT APPEARS TO BE A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS MASQUERADING AS A SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROJECT.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT I'M SEEING WITH THE PATRIOT POINT, I THINK IT'S A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY. I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING SOMETHING THERE THAT HAS GOT SOME SERVICES FOR VETERANS. THE ISSUE, I HAVE TWO ISSUES.

ONE IS THAT USING THE MODEL-- THE LIGHT TECH MODEL WE CANNOT DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN A VETERAN WHO IS LOW INCOME THAT NEEDS AT UNIT. SO WE MAYBE ABLE TO FILL IT WITH VETERANS, 100%, BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEED.

HOWEVER IF THE GENERAL POPULATION GETS THERE FIRST, THEY GET THE UNIT. AND THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT. BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT THE PROGRAM IS, THE APPLICATION ITSELF IS WRITTEN FOR GENERAL POPULATION. WHERE DID I WRITE THIS DOWN.

LET ME FIND MY... I WROTE IT IN HERE SOMEWHERE.

IT DOES NOT MENTION VETERANS AND THERE.

IT SPECIFICALLY STATES IT CANNOT AND WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE ANY DISABILITIES THAT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO SAY OKAY WE ARE GOING TO HOLD A UNIT FOR YOU.

I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY ARE HOLDING THESE UNITS IF THEY ARE SET ASIDE SPECIFICALLY ON PURPOSE, IT DOES NOT MATTER.

I KNOW THAT THIS ONE CANNOT DO IT.

SO MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THERE ARE VETERANS IN THESE UNITS. TWO, WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SET ASIDE, LIKE I JUST SAID, FOR THE FULL WRAPAROUND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, THAT'S HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR.

AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SPENDING LESS THAN $12,000 PER YEAR. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WILL PROVIDE THE LEVEL OF CARE, PARTICULARLY IF WE ARE SAYING THAT IT'S NOT JUST THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT IT WILL SERVE, BUT ANY VETERAN IN THE COMMUNITY. THERE ARE 48 UNITS, 60 HOURS PER MONTH. EACH UNIT GETS OVER AN HOUR.

BUT IF YOU DIVIDE GENERAL POPULATION AROUND IT, HOW ARE WE GOING TO SERVE THESE VETERANS ON THIS BUDGET? IT'S VERY CONCERNING TO ME. SO I WILL CLOSE BY SAYING THAT I AGREE WITH YOU. THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE NEED, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT IS WHAT THIS PROJECT IS.

WHAT THIS PROJECT IS IS A TRADITIONAL LIFETIME MULTIFAMILY MODEL. AND IT MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME SERVICES, SUPPORTED SERVICES FOR VETERANS, ALTHOUGH IT'S REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THE GENERAL POPULATION. AS PART OF THE PROJECT, RIGHT? SO I DON'T SEE, WHAT I'M CONCERNED WITH IS A FULL END UP IN A SITUATION THAT IS GEARED TOWARDS THE GENERAL POPULATION-- WHEN UNESCO VETERANS, DO YOU HAVE TO BE A VETERAN TO LIVE HERE, PEOPLE WILL HAVE NO IDEA. THE WHOLE THING IS A TURNAROUND, GENERAL LOW-INCOME HOUSING MODEL.

AND THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS BEING PRESENTED AS.

SO I'M NOT ASKED WHETHER I THINK THE TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGY FAMILY MODEL IS RIGHT. AND BEING ASKED THIS TO A CREW OF VETERANS. AND I CAN'T GUARANTEE THIS IS

[01:10:01]

OR WITH THIS BUDGET. >> I HAVE TO AGREE.

IN KANSAS CITY-- THAT IS REMARKABLE-- A REMARKABLE PROGRAM. I WOULD SUPPORT THAT TILL THE COWS CAME HOME AND THEN SOME. I WOULDN'T WAIT TILL THEY HAVE COWS AND TILL THOSE COWS COME HOME.

BUT SOMETHING IS IN AN AREA THAT IS BEING SOLD WITH A VETERANS BOW BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO PULL ON ALL THE STRINGS, BUT YET THERE MAY NOT BE ONE VETERAN THAT'S ABLE TO GET IN THERE BY THE TIME THE DOORS ARE OPEN IN THE APPLICATIONS.

YOU CANNOT PUT THIS APPLICATION ASIDE.

AND SEO, WE HAVE A VETERAN OVER HERE.

IF WE OCCUPY A 100% LOW INCOME FAMILY, AND NOT ONE VETERAN IS SERVED, I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.

I WANT A FACILITY FOR VETERANS. THEY NEEDED.

I DON'T WANT A CLANDESTINE LOW INCOME THAT IS WRAPPED IN A VETERAN BOW AND BITE NOT GET ANY SERVICES.

TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM?

>> I'D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR RESPONSE ON HOW THEY SET ASIDE 20 IN SAN ANTONIO, AND WHEREVER ELSE HE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS

THE CONCERNS WE HAVE HERE. >> GREAT.

I WILL START WITH THAT ONE. WHAT THEY ARE DOING-- SORRY, WRONG SLIDE. THEY ARE SETTING ASIDE MORE UNITS FOR THAT. SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT KIND OF TO THE DEVELOPMENT TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO CHOOSE.

WHAT WE DO IN ALL OF OUR ABOUT-- DEVELOPMENTS IS IMPORTANT.

EVERYBODY THAT MAKES THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY, 30% OR 100%, IT'S NOT ALL OF THE COMMUNITY. WE NEED A STAGGERED MIX OF INCOME. SO WE ARE SAYING WE WILL ACCEPT FROM THE VA 20 INDIVIDUALS WHO QUALIFY FOR THOSE DEVELOPERS THAT ARE MOST LIKELY PHYSICALLY DISABLED THAT DON'T WORK OR ARE FULLY SUBSIDIZED, AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEEDS. AND YOU ARE EXACTLY CORRECT.

THESE SERVICES ARE EXPENSIVE. THIS IS NOT A SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. THE REASON IT'S EXPENSIVE IS YOU NEED ABOUT ONE CASE MANAGER FOR FIVE UNITS DEDICATED TO THOSE FIVE UNITS. AND THEY PAY ABOUT 20 TO $25,000 PER YEAR. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT GETS UP IN JUST CASE MANAGERS. BUT WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WE HAVE AN AWESOME PEERED WORK COORDINATOR, AND THEY RUN AN OUTSTANDING PROGRAM. WE WENT OUT AND TOURED WITH THEM AND DECIDE IT IS FANTASTIC. WE DESIGNED OUR SPACE AFTER THEM, AND HE TOLD US ALL SORRY-- ALL SORTS OF STORIES ABOUT THE VETERANS THAT COME INTO THEIR COMMUNITY.

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE 100% VETERAN.

>> YOU GUARANTEED 75% WOULD BE VETERANS.

>> I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT. BUT WE CAN GUARANTEE-- WE CAN GUARANTEE A ZONING PLAN THAT REQUIRES VETERAN SERVICES , WE'VE ENTERED INTO THESE SERVICES AND LOOKING AT THE FEE WE ARE PAYING THEM, WE ARE FLEXIBLE ON THAT.

WHEN WE SAY WE HAVE MORE VETERANS, WE NEED MORE MONEY, IF WE CAN MAKE THEM-- MAKE IT HAPPEN.

WE CAN KEEP THAT ONGOING. 60 HOURS PER MONTH MOST LIKELY INCLUDES TOWLINE BENEFITS ON TUESDAY, AND BENEFITS ON A THURSDAY. AND SIX HOUR MAX WITH 20 VETERANS. I KNOW IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT BETWEEN THE WEEKENDS AND WEEKNIGHTS, AT THE EXTRA TIME LEFT OVER OVER AND OVER AGAIN ALL DAY THAT WE ARE FILLING IN SERVICES.

SORRY, I FORGOT THE QUESTION. >> THAT'S AWESOME.

[01:15:09]

>> I MENTIONED AFTER PART TWO THAT WE REACHED OUT TO DALLAS VA AND WE FOUND OUT THAT-- WHAT THEY SERVE, AND WE SAID HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE IN TOTAL? AND THEY HAVE ABOUT 700 ACTIVE.

WE SAID HOW MANY IN LEWISVILLE. THE RESULT WAS ONLY ABOUT 22.

WE SAID WHY ARE THERE ONLY 22 BEING UTILIZED IN THE STATE OF LEWISVILLE. AND THE RESPONSE WAS WELL THERE IS ONLY ONE OR TWO PROPERTIES THAT SAY WE WILL ACCEPT YOUR VOTERS. THIS IS ANNOUNCED IN THE COMMUNITY. I WISH CHRISTINA THE MANAGER WAS HERE. BUT SHE IS AWESOME.

WE ARE ALMOST A COMPETITOR, BUT SHE KNOWS THERE ARE MORE VETERANS THAT NEED TO BE SERVED. AND IT'S AN EASY PROCESS.

ONCE YOU BUILD YOUR BUILDING, YOU JUST CALL IN AND FILL IT UP WITH VETERANS. HOW DO WE DO THAT? IT'S A CHALLENGE. ONE OF THE EASY THINGS WE CAN DO IS THE CITY HAS INFLUENCE ON OUR MARKETING PLAN, OUR ABILITY TO MARKET. AS LONG AS WE MARKET PRIMARILY TO VETERANS, WE CAN CONTROL WHO WE MARKET TO, WE JUST CANNOT CONTROL WHO SIGNS UP TO LIVE THERE.

THE OTHER OPTION I BROUGHT BEFORE YOU THAT WE ARE A PART OF WAS THE CITY'S REQUEST FUNDING NOMINAL AMOUNT.

WE ARE TRYING TO OFFER THESE THROUGH A PD, BUT THE OFFERING DOESN'T-- IF IT DOESN'T COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS, IT PUTS

$10,000 TO RESTRICTIONS... >> WERE NOT MAKING THE DECISION TODAY. WERE HAVING THE CONVERSATION.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. AND WHAT'S INTERESTING AND DIFFERENT IN THIS CONVERSATION IS THOSE VOUCHERS-- IT'S LIKE A SECTION 8 VOUCHER. THOSE ACTUALLY CAN BE COMMITTED TO AN X NUMBER OF MUTE-- UNITS, AND YOU CAN BE AUDITED ON THAT.

SO THIS IS ACTUALLY CONNECTED TO VA.

THAT'S A VETERAN LINK. THAT'S NOT US IMPOSING.

SOMETHING THAT WE CANNOT IMPOSE. THAT'S THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IMPOSING SOMETHING THAT THEY CANNOT VIA THE SECTION 8 PROGRAM. SO THAT MAKES ME FEEL A LITTLE COMFORT. MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY ARE YOU

COMMITTED TO? >> IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

WE WILL JUST MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT BUILDING 100% OF THAT UNIT.

>> UNDERSTOOD, WHICH IS WHY THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED THAT WAY.

>> 20% IT GOES UP. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS DEPARTMENT NEEDED. 48 MILLION-- WE HAVE A REALLY SMALL DEVELOP END. LIKE A UNITS, NINE UNITS.

I THINK WE CAN... >> WE CAN INCREASE THAT NUMBER.

>> AND I THINK WHAT THE CONCERN IS, I DON'T WANT TO PUSH TOO FAR, BECAUSE I'M HEARING COUNCIL SAY-- MY CONCERN IS THAT I DON'T WANT CLIENTS WITH VERY LOW INCOME.

YOU SAID YOU DON'T WANT A CONCENTRATED INCOME.

MY ONE THING THAT I CAN SEE, AND THE GUARANTEES I GET FOR VETERANS IS LOW INCOME. SO THOSE THINGS GO AGAINST EACH

OTHER. >> OR HE WAS BRINGING SOMETHING IN THE BOAT-- THE CITY MANAGER HAS A QUESTION.

>> I WANT TO CLARIFY, THE 20% SET-ASIDE, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THOSE-- IF YOU COME IN AND SAY I WANT THOSE UNITS, DOES IT SIT

EMPTY UNTIL YOU FIND ONE? >> HYPOTHETICALLY THERE IS SUCH A BIG PIPELINE, AND THEY HAVE A VOUCHER, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A

PLACE TO GO TO. >> BUT YOU COULD NOT CLOSE ANYBODY-- PUT ANYBODY BUT A VETERAN THERE?

>> EXCEPT FOR A VOUCHER HOLDER. A VETERAN THAT QUALIFIES FOR

SECTION 8. >> GO BACK TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE RESTRICTIONS.

>> WELL,, WE ARE PROPOSING TO RESTRICT OURSELVES CURRENTLY THROUGH A PD. WITH A PD WE ARE PROPOSING THAT WE MUST HAVE A RESIDENCES SERVICE BUILDING AND WE MUST PROVIDE SO MANY HOURS FOR SERVICES FOR VETERANS.

[01:20:03]

WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE CITY OF DALLAS RECENTLY, IS THE CITY HAS RESTRICTED DEVELOPMENT TO REQUIRE CERTAIN LEVELS OF INCOME. A ADDITIONAL 30% UNITS OR 60% UNITS. AND BOTH HAVE TO COMPLY.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE CAN DO BEFORE TRYING TO-- BUT WE'VE ALSO LEARNED THAT BECAUSE IT'S A HOUSING ISSUE, THE CITY CAN TAKE ON A LOT OF LIABILITY TRYING TO DO THAT.

>> THE TARGET FOR FAIR HOUSING, WHERE IS SHE?

AS SHE SITTING OUT THERE? >> I'M MAKING NOTES.

>> WHEREIN A HUGE CAMPAIGN CYCLE WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS VETERANS AND VETERANS UNTIL THE ELECTION. AND THEN THE VETERANS ARE IN A TREE IN A SLEEPING BAG. I'M NOW A SENIOR CITIZEN, AND I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT, BUT WHAT MAKES THAT POSSIBLE IS FOR VETERANS AND THE FREEDOMS THAT THEY FOUGHT FOR.

IF WE CAN'T CARVE THEM OUT AND GIVE THEM A SPECIAL-- I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AND NEVER WILL. I NEVER WILL.

>> I'M EMAILING YOU A LETTER, BECAUSE I HAVE QUESTIONS.

>> I'M A LITTLE WORRIED WE ARE CONFLATING PROBLEMS. I TOTALLY FORGET THE SUB-- I TOTALLY GET THE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES MODEL THAT'S NEVER BEEN PROPOSED FOR THIS SPACE.

THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT TITANIUM BROUGHT TO THE TABLE.

SO I WORRY ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT.

I GET THE SUPPORT SERVICE LEVEL. THEY REQUIRE ENDOWMENTS OF MULTIPLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP US SUSTAINABLE.

AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THIS COUNCIL HAS HAD A CONVERSATION

ABOUT WANTING TO SUPPORT. >> THIS IS BEING PRESENTED AS A

SUPPORTIVE SERVICE EXAMPLE? >> SO I WOULD SAY THAT THAT DOES CONFLATE. BUT IN MY HEAD I'M NOT SEEING THIS AS A SUPPORTIVE SERVICES MODEL, I'M SEEING THIS AS A RESOURCE MODEL. I'M SEEING THIS AS A WAY WE CAN POSSIBLY GET SOME OF THOSE DEBT AND COUNTY RESOURCES DOWN HERE, BECAUSE I KNOW OUR VETERANS ARE GOING UP TO THAT COUNTY AND THEY ARE DOING A HARD WORK UP THERE. THEY HAVE FUNDED A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY UP THERE. BUT IT IS STILL A BURDEN TO GET UP THERE. SO I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THE CONCEPT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WE GO WITH THAT OR NOT.

>> I'M WORRIED THAT THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING HERE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE-- WHAT I'M REFERRING TO IS THAT WE HAVE THIS YEAR SO WE CAN HAVE THESE SERVICES, WE CAN HAVE A HOUSE ON SERVICES FOR VETERANS AND NO VETERAN END UP HOUSTON THEY CANNOT GET THE SERVICES EITHER BECAUSE THEY ARE LIMITED BECAUSE OF THE AVAILABLE FUNDING. THAT'S WHAT MY CONCERN IS.

AND THE CURTAIN IS BEHIND ALL OF THIS AND IT'S DIMINISHED.

BECAUSE WE CANNOT GUARANTEE A VETERAN PAYMENT.

AND WE ONLY HAVE A SET OF NUMBERS AND HOURS WE CAN PROVIDE VETERANS. AND WE SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE NUMBER OF VETERANS THAT NEED THE SERVICES.

>> WOULD THERE BE A NUMBER YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT?

>> THIS IS NOT MY LEVEL OF EXPERTISE.

I WOULD BE LEANING ON THE EXPERTS HERE TO TELL ME WITH EIGHT OF ELEMENT OF THIS SIZE OR THE NUMBER OF VETERANS WE HAVE IN THIS COMMUNITY, WHAT IS APPROPRIATE?

>> SURE. IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE THE SERVICE CENTER JUST VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES?

>> IF WE WANT TO. YES, WE CAN.

>> JUST A WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT VETERANS POINT IN THE FARMOUT AREA, A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY. WE SEE ABOUT 10,000 VETERANS AND FAMILY MEMBERS EACH YEAR THEN WE-- AND WE USE THE TERM INTERACTIONS. BECAUSE WE DON'T LOOK AT THEM AS CLIENTS, EVERYTHING WE DO IS UNDER PIER SUPPORT.

SO I HAVE MY OWN STORY I CAN SHARE WITH OTHER VETERANS, WITH WHAT THERE GOING THROUGH, TRYING TO FIND HOUSING, UNEMPLOYMENT, THEIR DISABILITY BENEFITS. I CAN USE MY STORY AND THE STORY

[01:25:03]

NAVIGATE THE VA BENEFITS SYSTEM. NAVIGATE ANY HURDLES THAT MIGHT POP UP. IT'S ALL THROUGH THE LENS OF PIER SUPPORT. THAT'S WHAT I THINK SOME OF THIS TERMINOLOGY, USING CASE MANAGEMENT, IT'S VERY INTENSIVE.

CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK IS VERY INTENSIVE.

PIER SUPPORT WE CANNOT MULTIPLIERS OF THESE PEERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE TWO TO 300 AT ANY GIVEN TIME. PROVIDING THE PEER SUPPORT SERVICES TO THE VETERANS THAT MIRROR A LOT OF THOSE CASE MANAGEMENT ROLES WITHIN THE HEALTH AND DISABILITY BENEFITS.

IT ALL STARTS FROM THE PLACE OF A.

DISABILITY BENEFITS IS AN EASY ONE.

WE REFER TO VETERANS ALL THE TIME, THEY HAVE VERY SMALL TIME FRAMES TO SCHEDULE WITH THEIR COUNTY.

WE HAVE THE CAPACITY AND THE ABILITY TO SIT WITH THOSE VETERANS FOR THREE HOURS AT A TIME AND EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF DISABILITY BENEFITS. AND IT'S NOT JUST THIS AND THAT AND ONTO THE NEXT CLIENT. BECAUSE WE STAY WITH THEM.

IT'S RELATIONAL RATHER THAN TRANSACTIONAL.

THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATION COMING UP, AND THE ANXIETY IS THERE. AND THEY FALL BACK ON US BECAUSE WE BUILD THAT RELATIONSHIP KEY WITH THEM WHILE WE STILL GET THEM OUT THERE TOMORROW TRANSACTIONAL SERVICE, WHETHER THAT IS EMPLOYMENT OR CLINICAL COUNSELING, WE ARE SUPERVISED BY PEOPLE THAT COVER THAT SUBSTANCE USE.

AND WE HAVE MORE CLINICAL SERIOUS ISSUES BUT WE MAINTAIN THAT HOLISTIC SITE. SO AS FAR AS WHAT CAN WE DO, LEAVE DONE A WHOLE LOT. OUR ANNUAL BUDGET AFTER THAT'S DONE WE HAVE A $15,000 ANNUAL THAT WE DO.

AND THAT INCLUDES TAKING THE VETERANS OUT, TAKING THEM FISHING AND GOLFING AND HORSEBACK RIDING. $15,000.

SO WE USE THOSE FORCE MULTIPLIERS.

THE WORKFORCE COMMISSION, ANYTHING ELSE, THOSE

TRANSACTIONAL NEEDS. >> ARE YOU SAYING YOU CAN PROVIDE THE SAME SERVICES HERE AS YOU DO IN ROANOKE OF 15,000

PER YEAR? >> THAT 50,000 WILL DEFTLY HELP US. ALL OF OUR FACILITATORS OR VOLUNTEER BASE RATE NOW. SO WE HAVE MORE INCENTIVE TO GET FACILITATORS THAT LIVE IN A CERTAIN AREA TO COME AND SPEND THOSE HOURS IN LEWISVILLE, IF WE CAN COMPENSATE THEM FOR 1-1 PEER SUPPORT. SO I DO THINK THAT 48 IS VERY MANAGEABLE IN OUR EYES. BUT WE WILL OPEN IT UP TO THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE OTHER VETERAN FAMILY MEMBERS OUT OF LEWISVILLE COME THERE FOR THAT ONE-ON-ONE PEER SUPPORT AND FIND THE AREA.

DO THE NATURE RESERVE. HEIGHT THERE ALL THE TIME.

UTILIZE THE SURROUNDING AREAS TO OFFER THAT RELATIONAL PEER

SUPPORT. >> I WAS GOING TO ASK IF IT'S AVAILABLE FOR EVERYBODY OR JUST PEOPLE LIVING HERE.

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THAT INITIAL 50,000, AND A 15,000 EVERY YEAR FOR EVERY YEAR THAT YOU ARE AN OPERATOR THERE, THAT WOULD BE

SUFFICIENT? >> I DID NOT DO THIS FOR TEN YEARS, WE USED IT FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.

RECENTLY WE GOT IT INTO THE TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES, 200,000 TO EXPAND OUR SERVICES. WE WERE APPROVED FOR 150,000.

WE USE OUR GRANT PROGRAM NOT TO KIND OF GET OUT OF VETERANS POINT, BECAUSE OF THAT ONE-ON-ONE PEER SUPPORT, THERE REALLY IS NOT A LOT OF EXPENSES. SITTING DOWN AND SHARING STORIES AND HELPING GUIDES. BUT WE DO THE HEIGHTS, WE TAKE THEM GOLFING. WE USE GRANTS TO KIND OF PAY FOR

A LOT OF THOSE. >> AND DO YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY

[01:30:01]

>> I THINK SO. IT'S JUST CREATING MORE PEER SUPPORT SPECIALISTS IN THIS AREA.

BEING ABLE TO HAVE THEM COME IN WITH DIRECT SUPPORT PEER GROUPS WITH VETERANS AND FAMILIES. I THINK WE SHOULD FIND ANOTHER DUPLICATE LOCATION. AND WE'VE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS. ABOUT GETTING A NEW PROPERTY.

SO I THINK THAT THIS WOULD OPEN THAT DOOR.

AND IT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED, TO BUNDLE SERVICES.

>> AND IT'S 1500 FOR THAT? >> BASED ON THE BLUEPRINT I'VE SEEN, THAT'S ENOUGH. WHAT WE HAVE IT VETERANS POINT AS AN ART ROOM. WE HAVE A WEIGHT ROOM, AND WE HAVE A PROPERTY THAT WILL BE OPEN FOR GENERAL POPULATION.

BUT THERE IS A KITCHEN, AND A LARGER SPACE FOR TRAINING AND MARRIAGE MANAGEMENT CLASSES. SO IF ANY FAMILIES ARE GOING THROUGH PROBLEMS IN THEIR MARRIAGE, WE HAVE OUTSIDE PARTNERS COME IN, AND WE HAVE CLASSES GOING IN THE EVENING.

EDUCATION BENEFITS. HAVING A CENTER LIKE THAT, HAVING SPACE TO HAVE THOSE LUNCH LEARNINGS, THAT'S A BIG PART OF IT. WE NEED TO PROVIDE THE SPACE FOR THE PEER GROUPS AND PEER SUP SUPPORT.

DO YOU NEED ANYTHING MORE? >> NO.

JUST MAKING SURE YOU GUYS HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED.

>> I APPRECIATE THE AMOUNT OF RESEARCH.

I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO OUR CONCERNS.

AND WE WANT A PLACE TO BE SAFE. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE SIMILAR GOALS IN MIND. WHAT WE HAVE TO DEFEND AGAINST IS TRYING TO-- I HAVE A PIECE OF LAND THERE THAT I ALSO HAVE A DEVELOP AND RIGHT NEXT TO IT THAT IS IN BAD SHAPE.

FUNDING IS AVAILABLE IN OLD TOWN FACADE CAPITAL PROJECT, AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES CAPITAL PROJECT IT IS RECOMMENDED AT CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZES THE MANAGER OR HER DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THE CAPTION ABOVE.

WE WILL OPEN COMMENT ON THAT. HARRY BROWN? ARE YOU PRESENT? AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK IF

[01:40:05]

IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY OF RESIDENTS FOR-- FOR

THE RECORD. >> MY NAME IS BRITTNEY BROWN.

MY CITY OF RESIDENTS IS LERA MOUNT.

I OWN A BUSINESS HERE IN LEWISVILLE ON MAIN STREET.

I OWN THE PINK CHAPEL MARKET. THANK YOU GUY SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME JUST A MOMENT TO SPEAK. AND THEN-- ON MY GOOD TO GO? OKAY. AWESOME.

I'M COMING UP JUST BECAUSE I OPENED A BUSINESS IN 2025 DOWN HERE IN OLD TOWN ON MAIN STREET. AND AT THE TIME OF OPENING THE BUSINESS I WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE PHASE OF GOING THROUGH PERMITTING, AND ALL THAT, AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY CONTRIBUTION EARTH TAXPAYER CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO NEW BUSINESSES THAT WERE COMING IN, IN A HISTORIC BUILDING. AND THERE ARE SEVERAL BUILDINGS, AND SEVERAL BUSINESSES DOWN IN OLD TOWN THAT ARE REALLY STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW AND HAVING A HARD TIME, A DIFFICULT TIME, WITH SOME THAT HAVE BEEN LONG EXISTING, A TO TEN YEARS, SOME LIKE MYSELF, THAT ARE BRAND-NEW, I COULD REALLY USE SUPPORT.

SO I WAS JUST KIND OF AWARE THAT THESE THINGS WERE AVAILABLE, AND I KIND OF WANTED TO SEE HOW THAT PROCESS GOES AND HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT TAXPAYERS ACROSS THE BOARD? HAVING A TAVERN LIKE THIS, AND I UNDERSTAND IT COULD BRING SOME REVENUE WITH BEVERAGE SALES, I KNOW THAT THAT CAN BE A BIG THING FOR A CITY, BUT MY BUSINESS BRINGS QUITE A BIT OF REVENUE IN TO OUR SAFETY AS WELL.

WE HAD SOLD AROUND $150,000 WORTH OF REVENUE IN OUR FIRST

EIGHT MONTHS OF BEING HERE. >> MISS BROWN, WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS FOCUSED ON THE PARTICULARS OF NEVERMORE.

THE REST OF IT WE CAN ACTUALLY ENGAGE STAFF TO WORK WITH YOU

ON. >> PERFECT.

IN TERMS OF NEVERMORE SPECIFICALLY, I JUST AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DOES IT BENEFIT THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS ACROSS THE BOARD? OUR BUSINESS DOLLARS, TO FIND SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, AND HOW DOES THAT BENEFIT CITIZENS HERE IN WESTVILLE?

>> GOT IT. THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS.

QUESTIONS? I WOULD SAY BENEFITS ON THIS ARE ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO BALANCE.

THERE WERE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS THAT WERE GIVEN, AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY GOTTEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM SMALL BUSINESSES.

THE RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT SMALL BUSINESSES WE CAN SUPPORT. SO I SEE HOW THIS ADDS TO THAT PROCESS. THE MURAL PROGRAM IS ONE WE THOUGHT A LONG TIME. THAT $40,000 IS TYPICALLY FOR EXTERNAL FACADE IMPROVEMENTS. THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

AND AS PART OF THE OTHER BENEFITS WE ARE SEEING HERE, A FREEING UP OF 16 PARKING SPOTS TO BE ALLOWED FOR PUBLIC USE, WHICH I THINK WOULD BE AT THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.

THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS. WE MIGHT QUIBBLE OVER WHAT THE DOLLARS ARE OR NOT, BUT THE OTHER PIECE, AS A BUSINESS OWNER, MYSELF, ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC IS A GREAT THING.

SO IF WE CAN CREATE MORE DESTINATIONS DOWN HERE, I'M HOPEFUL FOR THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE COUNCIL IS GOING TO FALL ON THIS CONVERSATION, THOSE ARE JUST THE THINGS THAT GO THROUGH MY HEAD ON THIS.

>> IS UNAVAILABLE FOR BUSINESSES TO APPLY FOR?

>> WHEN YOU ARE A NEW BUSINESS THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR THAT TYPE OF STUFF. THE STRUCTURE MAYBE IS NOT AS LARGE AS IT HAS BEEN HISTORICALLY FOR BIGGER BUSINESSES. TYPICALLY WE DO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FLICKERING JOBS AND POSITIONS POP-UP LIKE BUFFALO HIRSCH WE DID A PROGRAM TO BRING THAT DOWN.

SO THERE ARE SOME RULES, BUT THEY CAN BE KIND OF NEGOTIATED ONE BY ONE. WHAT YOU ARE EXPRESSING IS OUTSIDE OF NEVERMORE AND WE CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT OFF-LINE FOR STAFF TO MAYBE DO SOME SORT OF EDUCATIONAL WORK TO SEE WHAT

MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. >> GOT YOU.

THOSE THINGS WERE NOT MADE CLEAR TO ME.

WHICH ONES GET IT, OR DON'T GET IT, AND IF IT'S AN APPLICATION

PROCESS. >> IF IT'S AN APPLICATION PROCESS, WE HAVE OUR POLICIES ON LIVE AND WE'D BE HAPPY FOR STAFF TO REACH OUT TO YOU AND SHOW YOU THAT.

>> APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

>> NO FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE PACKABLE

ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> I MOVED TO APPROVE AS

PRESENTED. >> SECOND.

>> I HAVE A SECOND. COUNCIL, PLEASE VOTE.

>> I'M NOT GETTING IT. >> YOU ARE NOT VOTING?
