Jul 06, 2026 City Council

[Workshop Session - 6:15 P.M. ]

[00:00:05]

>> ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING. IT IS 6:15, AND WE DO HAVE A QUORUM. MICROPHONES ARE LIVE.

THEY WILL HEAR EVERYTHING AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY WILL REBROADCAST IT. SO PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE ROOM. FIRST UP, DISCUSSION OF CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. SO FIRST UP ON THE REGULAR SESSION INDICATION MYSELF, I'VE GOT THE PLEDGES FOR WILLIAM MERIDITH. PRESENTATION, CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENTS, TO REAPPOINTMENT NEWLY APPOINTED MEMBERS OF OUR BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES.

THIS IS A SINGLE VOTE THAT EVERYONE'S TAKING ALL AT ONCE.

THOSE WHO HAVE MULTIPLE, READ FAST.

WE'LL BUY YOU A LITTLE TIME. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT?

>> PLEASE READ THE UNDER LINED PORTION.

>> YEAH, THAT'S IT. AND THEN REPEAT.

THE LONGEST OATH IN THE HISTORY OF OATHS.

D-1, PUBLIC HEARING. THIS IS A ZONING ORDINANCE TO REZONE CASTLE HILLS GOLF COURSE TO EXTEND OR ADD ADDITIONAL -- NOT GOLF. TENNIS FACILITIES.

THE OTHER RACQUET. >> AND PICKLEBALL.

>> THAT OTHER WORD. YEAH.

THE PICKLEBALL STUFF. >> MAYOR, THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO

BE DOING A PRESENTATION. >> I HEARD.

QUICK HEADS UP THEY WERE BRINGING A PRESENTATION.

COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE?

>> I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON THIS, AND A LOT OF IT IS COMING WITH THE S.U.P. IN TWO WEEKS. I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT I WISH THEY WERE TOGETHER SO WE COULD (INAUDIBLE) BECAUSE I HATE IT THAT IT'S DISJOINTED LIKE THAT. BUT ALL OF MINE WERE BASICALLY WITH THAT EXCEPT FOR -- THE ENTRY GATE ALSO GOING TO BE --

>> THE APPLICANT WILL EXPLAIN. >> OKAY.

>> HEAR HER PRESENTATION. >> ALL RIGHTY.

THAT'S WONDERFUL. >> WE DID GET A COUPLE OF E COMMENTS ON THIS. YOU'VE YET TO HEAR ANYBODY AGAINST IT. I'LL SUMMARIZE THAT.

I JUST SAID YET. YET TO HEAR ANYBODY AGAINST IT.

EXPAND THE SPECIAL USE GRANT PERMIT, 1587 ACRES, FAIRWAY BUSINESS PARK, ZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

THIS IS TO DO SALES OF READY BUILT GO KARTS.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? AND THERE'S ALREADY AN EXISTING S.U.P. ON THAT THAT THIS LAYS OVER, IS THAT RIGHT?

>> IT CAN. >> OKAY.

>> HOW FLEXIBLE? I GET A LITTLE NERVOUS --

>> IT CAN OVERLAY ON ONE OF THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR S.U.P. UNITED

STATES, 1800 SQUARE FEET -- >> BUT NO OUTSIDE STORAGE AT ALL

AND NO REPAIRS -- OKAY. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> THAT'S AWESOME. >> ALL RIGHT.

NEXT UP, CONSENT AGENDA. ITEM 3, APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.

ITEM 4, APPROVAL FOR TRAIL CONNECTIONS SEGMENT A TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE LLC IN AMOUNT OF 2.2 MILLION.

>> MAYOR, TO LET YOU KNOW, I TALKED TO THE CITY COUNCILLOR AND THEY ARE ABOUT 12 MONTHS BEHIND US.

>> THIS IS A BIG CONNECTION FOR THE -- PUTS IN SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES OF TRAIL ACCESSIBILITY BY MAKING THAT LINK INTO CARLETON.

THIS ALSO COMES FROM A TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT CREDITS, TDCS. REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL, AND ALSO FROM THE TRIP PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES THE BALANCE AS

WELL. >> AWESOME.

>> SO IT'S A PRETTY CREATIVE STACK WE WERE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS WORK. ITEM FIVE, REPAIR REPLACEMENT OF VENTILATION AND COOLING SYSTEMS WITHIN APPROVED RESIDENTIAL

HOMEOWNER'S HOMES. >> MY UNDERSTANDING QUICKLY THAT WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED WHO THE RECIPIENTS ARE.

SO WE'RE READY TO GO. >> MY UNDERSTANDING.

[00:05:02]

>> THAT'S BEEN A PRETTY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM, HASN'T IT?

>> WE'VE DONE ONE YEAR SO FAR. BUT IT WAS SUCCESSFUL.

IT TOOK A WHILE TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE REQUIREMENT TAKES A LITTLE EXTRA TIME. ON THIS ONE, WE HAD TO IDENTIFY THE HOMES, AND THEN THERE HAD TO BE A SCOPE OF WORK PREPARED FOR EACH HOME. COULD NOT BE THE SAME PERSON WHO WE HIRED TO DO THE WORK. I THINK THERE WAS A CONTRACTOR THAT DONATED THEIR TIME, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> THIS GO AROUND. WITH THE FIRST -- THAT'S

CORRECT. >> THERE WAS A CONTRACTOR THAT PROVIDED OUR SCOPE FOR BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND ROUND.

SEPARATE CONTRACTORS. >> WE'VE GOT THE SCOPES, AND THEN WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE ACTUAL INSTALLATIONS.

>> HOW DOES THIS STACK UP AGAINST LAST YEAR.

DID WE HAVE MORE APPLICANTS THIS YEAR.

>> YES. >> 14 HOMEOWNERS, LAST YEAR WE

SERVED 9. >> THAT'S AWESOME.

GOOD JOB. >> QUESTIONS ON FIVE.

ITEM 6, APPROVAL -- APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE WATER -- GRANT PROGRAM FOR THE COMBINED PUMP STATION AND CLEAR WELL PROJECT.

THIS IS OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT THAT'S PART OF OUR CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN.

THIS ALIGNS WITH STATE LAW AND REQUIREMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ADEQUATE WATER AND SEWAGE SYSTEMS FOR POPULATION.

CITIES ELIGIBLE FOR ABOUT 21 MILLION IN GRANT FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT. THERE'S GRANT FUNDING, I'M ALL IN SUPPORT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? ALL RIGHT. ITEM G-7.

COUNCILLOR CADE, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE REVIEW.

>> YES, I DO. >> ANY QUESTIONS ON ITEM 7.

>> HOW DOES THIS WORK IDENTIFY? JUST OUR NORMAL --

>> RONNI. YOU WANT TO HANDLE IT.

SORRY. BLAME WILLIAM.

>> THAT'S OKAY. (INAUDIBLE).

GO AHEAD. >> SO THIS IS NORMAL SCHEDULE WE HAVE FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. JUST FELL INTO THE SCHEDULE OR IS THERE A PARTICULAR REASON FOR THESE TWO LOCATIONS?

>> THESE TWO LOCATIONS CHOSEN, ONE OF THEM -- INTERSECTIONS IMPROVEMENT STORM DRAIN DRAINING PROPERLY, AND THEN THE OTHER SECTION, SMALL SECTION OF STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS, DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR THE PROJECTS WITH ANOTHER PROJECT --

>> IS THAT ALSO SIMILAR TO FLOODING.

>> YES, SCOPE OF WORK. >> OKAY.

>> HAVE QUESTIONS? PLEASE.

>> SO LOUD. >> NOT ONLY IS IT SO LOUD, BUT

WE GET REVERB. >> WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON IT.

>> CONSIDERATION TO CITY COUNCIL, AMENDING ARTICLE 17, SALE OF ALCOHOL AND BEVERAGES OF LEWISVILLE CITY CODE.

PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS FEES. FEES AND FEES.

GIVE US A QUICK RUN DOWN ON THIS ONE?

>> SURE. REALLY THE ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGING HERE IS OUR ABILITY TO WIPE THE PERMIT FEE FROM CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES. THOSE BUSINESSES ARE THE ONES THAT ALREADY HAVE A STATE OR LOCAL FOOD HEALTH PERMIT.

AND SO THIS IS REALLY TO COMPLY WITH CURRENT LEGISLATION THAT PREVENTS MUNICIPALITIES FROM COLLECTING A PERMIT FEE FOR

THOSE TYPES OF BUSINESSES. >> OKAY.

>> SO REALLY, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE JUST MAKING AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE CURRENT WARD --

TO ALIGN WITH THE LEGISLATION. >> LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

STATE LAW CHANGED. STATE LAW SAID YOU COULD NO LONGER COLLECT A FEE FOR MANAGING, MAINTAINING, AND OVERSIGHT OF THIS PARTICULAR THING, BUT WE THE STATE CAN CONTINUE TO COLLECT A FEE EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE ANY OVERSIGHT REALLY ON THE DAY-TO-DAY OF THIS.

IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING? >> NAILED IT.

>> SOUNDS LIKE IT FROM THE MANDATE.

THANK YOU STATE OF TEXAS. >> SO WE STILL GET TO DO ALL THE

WORK WE WERE DOING BEFORE. >> YEAH, WE STILL HAVE THE

OVERSIGHT. >> AND I GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE

RESPONSIBLE. >> WELL, SORRY WE HAD TO DO THAT. THANK YOU.

[00:10:02]

THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO 2.43 ACRES. (INAU

(INAUDIBLE). >> THIS IS FOR THE USES OF REGIONAL PUBLIC ATTENTION POND, ASSOCIATED IMPROVEMENTS.

AND ALLOWING THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CONDEMNATION IF

NECESSARY. >> JUST OUR NORMAL PROCESS, WE BROUGHT THIS TO COUNCIL BEFORE, THAT FLOW CHART THAT TALKS ABOUT ACQUISITION PROCESS FOR THESE PROJECTS.

ONCE WE GET TO 60% OF DESIGN, WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE PARCELS, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE. THE BASIS -- AND THEN WE MOVE FORWARD WITH A FRIENDLY ACQUISITION IF THAT FAILS, AND ONLY IF THAT FAILS, WE MOVE TO CONDEMNATION.

AND JUST FOR BASIC KNOWLEDGE, THE OWNERS ARE AWARE WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM RIGHT NOW.

>> JUST TO CLARIFY, CONDEMNATIONS, WE PAY THEM FOR

THE PROPERTY. >> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> THEY GET IT APPRAISED, AND WE CANNOT OFFER LESS THAN FAIR MARKET VALUE. AND THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO -- IT'S HIGHLY REGULATED FROM A NOTICE PERSPECTIVE ON THIS FROM THE STATE. BUT ALSO IF THEY DISAGREE WITH THE VALUE AMOUNT, THERE IS A WHOLE APPEAL PROCESS THEY CAN GO

THROUGH. >> I'M ASSUMING THERE'S NOTHING ON THIS PROPERTY WE CAN'T BILL ANYTHING ON THIS.

NOT UNDERGROUND ATTENTION. >> IT'S GOING TO BE WHAT IT IS.

ALTHOUGH, I HAVE PUSHED ENGINEERING AS FAR AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THIS AN AMENITY OF SOME SORT FOR THE AREA.

SO DOES PUBLIC PURPOSE OF HOLDING THE DRAINAGE.

SO PEOPLE CAN ENJOY IT. >> IT SAYS IN THE TEXT HERE THAT HAVING DETERMINED THE PUBLIC USE AND PUBLIC NECESSITY OF THE ACQUISITION, THAT STUDY THAT WAS DONE, WAS IT ATTACHED HERE

ANYWHERE? >> IT WAS NOT.

OKAY. SORRY.

>> BEING THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK.

I KNOW YOU'VE PROBABLY BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE BACKGROUND.

SO THE PROSPECT OF CONDEMNING THIS PROPERTY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT DOESN'T SIT WELL. BUT IF I'D SEEN ALL THE

BACKGROUND HOW YOU GOT HERE -- >> YEAH, I APOLOGIZE.

YOU'RE WANTING TO SEE THE ENGINEERING STUDIES.

>> YEAH. >> OKAY.

DO YOU GUYS HAVE THAT AND -- I KNOW IT'S JUST A STUDY.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S -- IF YOU COULD E-MAIL THAT.

>> MAKE HEADS OR TAILS OF IT. WILL I BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT.

>> I'M NOT SURE IF YOU WILL. OR THEY COULD TELL YOU WHAT THE

ENGINEERING IT RIGHT NOW. >> AND I HAD SEVERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ACTUALLY. BECAUSE THEY DETERMINED THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS NEEDED, BUT THERE'S A PIECE OF PROPERTY RIGHT NEXT TO IT THAT HAS NO IMPROVEMENTS TO IT.

TAKING THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY THAT IT'S NEEDED AND WAS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVES, DID THEY LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS?

>> WE DID LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS. >> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

>> BRENT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT.

>> I'M NOT AS FAMILIAR WITH IT. I KNOW WE DID LOOK AT MUNICIPAL PROPERTIES IN THAT AREA. I KNOW THAT THE SITE SELECTED IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE 95% OF THE STORM RUN OFF OF A FULLY DEVELOPED TOWN AREA. THAT DRAINAGE BASIN.

IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE US ABILITY FOR THE WHOLE AREA THAT DRAINS INTO THAT AREA. THERE ARE SOME IMPROVEMENTS.

WE NEED TO DO MORE IMPROVEMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE

DEVELOPMENT AREA. >> RIGHT.

>> ON THAT PROPERTY. >> ALSO ON THIS ATTACHMENT, WE HAVE THE PICTURE OVERVIEW, YOU SHOW THAT PART OF WHAT YOU'RE WANTING IS INCLUDING THEIR -- DRIVEWAY TO THE BUILDING AS

WELL? >> IT'S FOR CONSTRUCTION ACCESS.

>> AND THE LAND OWNER, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DRIVE DURING THAT

PERIOD? >> IT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE.

>> IT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE. THEY'LL BE ABLE TO USE THAT IN ORDER FOR US TO GET EQUIPMENT TO THE SITE, WE HAVE TO HAVE PUBLIC ACCESS. WE CAN'T DRIVE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY WITHOUT TEMPORARY -- OR ABILITY TO GAIN ONE.

[00:15:01]

>> AND WE'RE PAYING FOR THAT. >> IT'S NOT TAKEN --

>> WELL, THE BLUE IS THE EASEMENT.

BUT THE YELLOW INCLUDES THEIR DRIVEWAY.

LOOKS TO ME LIKE THAT'S THE AREA YOU'RE WANTING TO ACQUIRE.

AND THE AREA ENCLOSES THEIR DRIVEWAY AS WELL.

SO ARE YOU INTENDING TO TAKE THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY, OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR DRIVEWAY?

>> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY HAVE THEIR DRIVEWAY.

BUT LET'S LET -- >> THE YELLOW IS GOING TO BE -- WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE RIGHT NUMBER OF MUTUAL ACCESS.

SO SHARED ACCESS. ONCE WE CONSTRUCT IT, WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT AND HAVE ACCESS REGARDLESS.

SO PART OF THE DRIVEWAY IS GOING TO BE MUTUAL ACCESS TO GET OUR EQUIPMENT TO CONSTRUCT IT. ONCE IT'S CONSTRUCTED, WE HAVE THE DRIVEWAY TO GET OUT THERE, SERVICE, MAINTAIN IT, PREPARE IT, CLEAN IT, IT'S GOING TO BE SHARED FOR BOTH PROPERTIES FOR THE CITY AND FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER.

>> THERE WOULD BE AN EASEMENT THERE.

>> A PERMANENT EASEMENT, CORRECT.

CURRENTLY EXISTS, WE'RE GOING TO BE GAINING --

>> FOR THE DRIVEWAY. >> WE DO HAVE AN EASEMENT THERE.

WE HAVE DRAINAGE THAT COMES INTO THAT PARCEL FROM THE BACKSIDE, FROM THE PLAN, THE SOUTHWEST CORNER.

GOES INTO THE PARCEL RIGHT NOW. >> SO IS THAT KIND OF THE LOW

POINT? >> YES.

>> THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CHOOSING THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S DRAINING TOWARDS IT?

>> THAT PIECE RIGHT NEXT -- >> RIGHT, BUT THAT'S HIGHER THAN

THAT. >> OKAY.

>> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ONLINE? >> NEXT UP WE HAVE ITEM H REPORTS, COUNCIL AND STAFF REPORTS, I DON'T HAVE ANY STAFF REPORTS AT THIS TIME. WE DO HAVE CLOSED SESSION FOR CONSULTATION WITH ATTORNEY AND LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO ARTICLE 4 SECTION 402 OF THE LEWISVILLE CITY CHARTER, AND COURT JUDGE --

ANYTHING ELSE? >> MAYOR, BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO OUR PRESENTATION, I WANT TO DO ONE QUICK INTRODUCTION.

BEHIND ME HERE IS LEELA PEOPLES. SHE'S GOING TO BE OUR NEW HR DIRECTOR STARTING IN AUGUST.

SHE WAS THE ASSISTANT -- SHE JUST -- HER CURRENT POSITION IS -- SHE WAS THE CHIEF HR OFFICE FOR MEDSTAR MOBILE.

THIRD PARTY BY FORT WORTH. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WANTED TO

SAY ANYTHING. >> I'M EXCITED TO JOIN THE TEAM.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, AND WELCOME, BUT DEFINITELY EXCITED TO ONBOARD HERE AND BE PART OF LEWISVILLE FAMILY.

>> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE DONE THERE, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO ITEM B, COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS UPDATE.

HELD BY HUMAN RESOURCES TAD PHILLIPS FOR THE POWER PLAY -- WHATEVER WE'RE CALLING THESE ANYMORE.

17,000 APPS FOR THIS. >> SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL, BEFORE WE GET STARTED ON THE PRESENTATION, I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT SOMETHING THAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION THAN PAST YEARS. TYPICALLY IN PAST YEARS, WE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT THE FINANCIAL COST IS FOR EVERYTHING AND THEN TELL YOU WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATION IS GOING TO BE.

WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE SPLITTING, IF IT'S MERIT, MARKET, ALL MARKET, OR ALL MERIT. IF WE'RE GOING TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE A LEAD CITY IN THE UPCOMING YEAR BECAUSE YOUR GOALS ARE BASICALLY TO BE A LEAD CITY, UNDERSTANDING THAT BUDGET IS -- IT'S DEPEND ON BUDGET. THIS YEAR WE'RE NOT READY TO GIVE YOU THAT RECOMMENDATION. BUT THE REASON WHY WE'RE STILL PUSHING IT TODAY IS BECAUSE WE'VE LET EMPLOYEES KNOW THIS PRESENTATION WILL BE GIVEN TODAY.

SO WE WANTED TO BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT WITH THE PUBLIC, YOU GUYS, AND THE EMPLOYEES ON HOW MUCH WE'RE OFF ON MARKET AND MERIT -- MARKET. WITH THAT, TAD'S GOING TO PRESENT YOU JUST THE RAW DATA. WE'LL HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON BENEFIT CHANGES, SOMETHING WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO EVERY YEAR AT THIS TIME. BUT WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH OUR BUDGET. EVERY CITY -- MOST CITIES AROUND US ARE DEALING AND STRUGGLING WITH KIND OF THE TIGHTNESS OF THE BUDGET, AS ARE WE. WE ARE NOT IN AS DIRE STRAITS AS SOME OF THE CITIES AROUND US. BUT I DO WANT TO BE MINDFUL ABOUT WHEN YOU SEE THE TOTAL COST OF IT, THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A CHOICE OF BREAKING DOWN BETWEEN MERIT AND MARKET.

AND THAT MAY CHANGE THE FOCUS OF BEING A LEAD CITY UNDER MARKET TO MAKING SURE OUR EMPLOYEES ARE MADE, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE

[00:20:03]

TAD'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT RETENTION VERSUS RECRUITMENT.

AND THAT KIND OF BALANCE THAT WE HAVE.

OUR DRIVE TO BE A LEAD CITY PUTS US IN A BOX THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO FUND ONLY THE MARKET, AND THAT MEANS THERE MIGHT BE COMPRESSION THAT PREVENTS US FROM ACTUALLY MOVING PEOPLE IN.

PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE WITH PAY INTO THE RANGE.

YOU HAVE COMPRESSION ISSUES. HE'LL GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT.

I'M SURE THAT WAS A JUMBLED MOUTHFUL FOR ALL OF YOU.

HE'LL SHOW YOU ON SLIDES WHAT THAT MEANS.

WE'LL COME WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR BUDGET RETREAT.

FOR NOW, UNTIL WE GET MORE INTO WHAT OUR REVENUES ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN THE UPCOMING BUDGET YEAR, I'M NOT PREPARED TO MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO YOU. SO WITH THAT.

>> THANKS, CLAIRE. THANKS FOR THE INTRODUCTION.

I'M EXCITED, TWO FOLD, ONE BECAUSE LEELA'S HERE AND SHE'S GOING TO DO THIS NEXT YEAR, AND TWO BECAUSE IT'S USA ROUND 16 TONIGHT, GOT MY TIE. GO USA.

AS CLAIRE SAID, SHARING BROAD DATA WITH YOU ALL.

OPERATOR ERROR FROM THE BEGINNING.

LET'S SEE. TURN IT ON.

THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> CLAIRE SAID I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IS THE CURRENT LANDSCAPE.

WE PRESENT IN THE SUMMER TOWN TO CITY COUNCIL KEY PART OF BUDGET PREPARATION EACH YEAR IS THE PEOPLE SIDE OF THINGS.

900 CITY EMPLOYEES, BIG PIECE OF OVERALL BUDGET, BIG PIECE AS OUR SUCCESS AS AN ORGANIZATION. AS WE GET INTO BUDGET SEASON, WE LOOK OUT EXTERNALLY AT THE LANDSCAPE AND SAY WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT'S THE LAY OF THE LAND. WHAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU TODAY IS A LITTLE BIT OF OVERVIEW OF COMPENSATION, TALK ABOUT MARKET DYNAMICS OUT THERE, OTHER ELEMENTS, AND EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION. AS CLAIRE SAID, HIT ON SOME EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PIECES. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. AS WE JUMP INTO THIS, BEFORE I FORGET, I DO WANT TO MENTION, THERE'S A LOT OF DATA IN HERE.

BACKGROUND WORK THAT TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY.

A LOT OF COMPILATION AND ANALYSIS.

ON OUR HR TEAM, SHE TOOK VACATION BECAUSE SHE'S PUT SO MUCH WORK IN THIS, KEY PLAYER. YVETTE, AND CHARLOTTE OVER HERE WITH THE AWESOME GLASSES, COMPENSATION TEAM THAT'S PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER. APPRECIATE THEM.

LOOK AT THAT CHART HERE, I LOVE THIS CHART.

WE SHOW THIS ON OUR WEBSITE ALL THE TIME.

IT'S CONTINUOUSLY UPDATING DATA. SHOWS IN GREEN, THAT IS OUR -- AT ANY MOMENT OF TIME, ORGANIZATION, IN PURPLE, OUR VACANCY RATE. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS VISUAL, OCTOBER 1 OF 2022. TAKING A LONG LOOK.

WE SHOWED TURNOVER OF 18% AT THAT TIME, WHICH WAS PRETTY HIGH FOR US. WE ALSO SHOWED 13% OF OUR JOBS VACANT AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO COME ON BOARD A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR COMPENSATION STUDY, WE DEPLAYED IN APRIL OF 2023.

THANKS TO COUNCIL AND MANAGEMENT, ABOUT 5 MILLION DOLLAR TO ADDITIONAL SALARIES, UPDATED PAY STRUCTURES FOR OUR ORGANIZATION. OVER THE FULLNESS OF TIME BETWEEN ALLOCATING RESOURCES TOWARDS THESE ACTIVITIES, PRACTICES IN OUR ORGANIZATION, OUR MANAGERS SERIOUS ABOUT FILLING JOBS WHEN THEY BECOME VACANT AND ALL THE WORK WE DO WITH OUR GALLOP SURVEY, CREATE A GREAT WORK FORCE.

BETWEEN ALL THOSE THINGS, YOU'VE SEEN THESE ALL CONTINUOUSLY GO DOWN. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE'RE STANDING AT 11%. ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE SOME LEVEL OF VACANCY. THAT'S A REALLY LOW LEVEL.

WE DON'T FIND OURSELVES IN THE POSITION OF A LOT OF COMPETING ORGANIZATIONS WHERE THEY CONTINUOUSLY HAVE A BUNCH OF POLICE OFFICER VACANCIES OR OTHER VACANCIES.

WE'RE IN A GREAT SPOT. WE WANT TO CONTINUE THE GREAT WORK. AS WE TALK ABOUT THIS JOURNEY, WHERE WE'RE AT AT THAT POINT IN TIME, WE HAVE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION ISSUE. I WOULD ARGUE NOW WE HAVE LESS OF RECRUITMENT AS EVIDENCED BY OUR LOW VACANCY RATE.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO KEEP ON THIS AND PAY ATTENTION.

NOW WE'VE BUILT A LOT OF SKILLED STAFF, MOMENTS IN TIME WHERE WE HAVE, SAY, A BUILDING INSPECTOR OR PLANNER WHO WE'VE GROOMED, TRAINED UP, AND HE THIS CAN BE TAKEN BY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WILLING TO PAY MORE. THAT'S THE HIGHLIGHT HERE.

RETENTION OF UPSKILLED STAFF ACTIVELY RECRUITED IS OUR KEY

CHALLENGE TODAY. >> TAD, JUST A POINT OF

[00:25:04]

INCLUDE RETIREMENTS, RIGHT? >> THIS RETENTION RATE DOES

INCLUDE RETIREMENTS, I BELIEVE. >> IT DOES.

>> I BELIEVE SO, YES. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

JUST CLARIFY FOR ME. LOOK AT THE GREEN, THE GREEN'S GETTING BIGGER. DOES THIS INDICATE OUR TURNOVER IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME, BUT OUR POSITIONS ARE GETTING

BETTER. >> THE GREEN STARTED AT 18, AND IT'S DOWN AT 11.5 NOW. SO IT'S BEEN -- FLATTENED, WENT

UP SLIGHTLY, AND COME BACK DOWN. >> ACCUMULATIVE.

>> THIS IS ANY MOMENT IN TIME. >> BUT NOT THE DIFFERENCE, THE GREEN I'M LOOKING AT IS NOT BETWEEN 14 AND 18 ON THE FAR LEFT. IT'S FROM ZERO TO 18 ON THE FAR

LEFT. >> CORRECT.

THAT'S CORRECT, SIR. >> BUT IT DOES INCLUDE RETIREMENTS, RIGHT? THAT GREEN NUMBER INCLUDES

RETIREMENTS. >> DOUBLE CHECKING, BUT I BELIEVE IT DOES. WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK FOR THE PRESENTATION, BUT I BELIEVE THAT'S ACCURATE.

YEAH, AND EACH DOT, IF YOU WANT TO NERD OUT, EACH IS LOOKING BACK 12 MONTHS FROM THAT MOMENT IN TIME.

THAT'S A CONTINUOUS READ DAY AFTER DAY OVER THOSE 2.5 YEARS.

SO THE OTHER PART OF THE SLIDE IS JUST LOOKING BACK, WHEN WE DID THIS COMPENSATION IN 2023. WE HAD OBJECTIVE TO CREATE MARKET COMPETITIVE STRUCTURES, PUT FOLKS IN THOSE STRUCTURES, AND THEN MAKE SURE FOLKS COULD PROGRESS THROUGH WHAT THOSE STRUCTURES ARE. FINALLY TO CREATE SOME PROGRESSION METHOD WHERE FOLKS COULD PROMOTE OR HAVE ALTERNATIVES TO -- CURRENT MECHANISMS WE'RE USING THAT HIT ON ALL THOSE ITEMS I JUST TALKED ABOUT ON THE PRIOR SLIDE.

WHAT WE HAVE ON THE LEFT IS MORE RECRUITMENT PIECE.

THIS IS OUR MARKET. ACCESS EXTERNAL MARKETS ANNUALLY. I'LL WALK THROUGH DETAIL WITH YOU IN A MOMENT. AND THEN WE IDEALLY INCLUDE -- I'M SORRY, WE LOOK AT EXTERNAL FORCES.

ON RETENTION SIDE, ONCE WE GET STAFF IN PLACE, WE WANT TO PROGRESS STAFF THROUGH A RANGE. EITHER THROUGH POLICE OFFICERS, FIREFIGHTERS, DETENTION OFFICERS, DISPATCHERS.

THOSE ARE FOLKS THAT HAVE SPECIFIC STEPS.

MAJORITY OF OUR EMPLOYEES ARE ON OPEN RANGES.

YOU'D WANT THOSE FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO PROGRESS IN SOME MANNER THROUGH PAY RANGE OVER A REGIONAL PERIOD OF TIME.

THE NEWER THING THAT CREATED POST COMPENSATION STUDY WAS A JOB FAMILY PROGRESSION. INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR JOB INDIVIDUALS CAN, IF THEY MEET A CRITERIA FOR TIME AT THE ORGANIZATION, EXPERIENCE LEVEL, DEMONSTRATED SKILLS, AND/OR CERTIFICATIONS OR EDUCATION, THEY COULD PROGRESS TO A SENIOR LEVEL OF THEIR JOB. THAT'S GOING TO CREATE TOOL -- I'LL WALK THROUGH SOME DATA ON THAT THAT'S HELPED US RETAIN STAFF WITH SKILL SETS. SO IN 2023, WHAT THIS CITY COUNCIL COMMITTED TO YOU WILL OUT OF THAT COMPENSATION STUDY, MANY OF YOU WERE HERE AND CREATED THIS, COUNCIL SAID WE'RE COMMITTED TO THE FOLLOWING, ONE BEING A LEADING CITY, FOCUSSED ON TARGETING TOP THIRD. THAT'S THAT MARKET PIECE.

AND THEN THE SECOND PART IS THE LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP IS TO BE DETERMINED ANNUALLY. IT GIVES US SOME FLEXIBILITY BASED ON OVERALL BUDGETARY ENVIRONMENT.

BUT THE PRIMARY FOCUS HAS BEEN TARGETING TOP THIRD.

VISUAL ON THE RIGHT IS MEANT TO ILLUSTRATE THAT THE PHILOSOPHY CONTINUES TO BE STRONG. BUT WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS THAT OVER TIME WE ADAPT OUR ROAD MAP AND SHIFT BASED ON WHAT WE SEE FROM THE DATA. WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS OUR RETENTION IS MORE OF AN AREA -- NEEDS TO BE MORE OF AN AREA FOCUS NOW THAN RECRUITMENT. NEXT SLIDE.

THIS IS SHOWING -- AS CLAIRE MENTIONED, A FINITE POT OF MONEY. YOU HAVE TO IDENTIFY HOW MUCH OF YOUR DOLLARS ARE GOING TO GO TOWARDS RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. TOP THIRD IS TIED TO RECRUITMENT AND PROGRESSION, TIED TO RETENTION.

WE'RE NOT MAKING ANY SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AROUND THOSE TONIGHT. JUST MORE ILLUSTRATING THE ISSUE AS WE IDENTIFY WHAT RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE AND PREPARE THEM FOR YOU FOR AUGUST 8TH. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT MARKET.

SO THIS IS THE RECRUITING PIECE. THIS IS LOOKING AT THE MARKET PLACE. THIS IS FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES. AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY GEOGRAPHICALLY ACCURATE. THIS SHOWS VISUALLY, OR COMPARED ORGANIZATIONS WE LOOK AT. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 17 ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE COMPARE AGAINST.

AND THEY ARE FOLKS THAT SHARE GENERALLY A SIMILAR APPLICANT POOL ACROSS VARIOUS JOBS. THAT'S WHO WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR ALL OUR MARKET ANALYSES. NEXT SLIDE.

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH POLICE.

SO YOU GUYS MIGHT SEE THESE THINGS ON FACEBOOK OCCASIONALLY.

[00:30:01]

AND SO I TAKE THIS AS AN INDICATION OF THE GOOD WORK WE'VE PUT IN OVER YEARS TO KEEP OUR PAY COMPETITIVE, THAT WE CAN HAVE FOLKS HIRE AT A RELATIVELY HIGH DOLLAR AMOUNT AND PROGRESS QUICKLY TO THE OTHER AGENCIES. PART OF WHY WE'RE SUCCESSFUL AT CONTINUOUSLY RECRUITING NEW OFFICERS IN THE ORGANIZATION.

>> I THINK THE OTHER TAKEAWAY ON THIS IS THAT YOU SEE A LOT OF THOSE COMPARISONS OF SALARIES, BUT YOU DON'T SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF SOME OF THE OTHER BENEFITS. SO FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF TIMES YOU DON'T SEE THIS COMPARISON OF HOW FAST YOU PUSH PEOPLE, YOU PUSH YOUR OFFICERS TO THESE MARKS.

SOME CAN TAKE UP TO 7 TO 8 YEARS TO GET WHERE WE'RE GETTING PEOPLE IN THREE YEARS. SO JUST SOMETHING -- A DATA

POINT -- >> I THINK ANOTHER TAKEAWAY IS WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD LOOKING LOGO.

FOCUS IN ON POLICE OFFICERS, SO THE METHODOLOGY WE USE IS WE LOOK AT OUR 17 CITIES EACH YEAR, AND WHAT THIS SHOWS IS JUST MOVEMENT OF US AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER POLICE OFFICER POSITIONS AT OUR 17 CITIES. AND SO WHAT THIS REALLY SHOWS IS FROM LAST YEAR, OVER THE PRIOR YEAR TO LAST YEAR, WE MOVED OUR POLICE OFFICER PAY, THAT'S WHAT YOU ALL APPROVED IN THE PRIOR YEAR. IN THAT PERIOD OF TIME, WE HAD THE SIXTH LARGEST INCREASE. A FEW FOLKS AT THE BOTTOM WHO DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, A LOT OF FOLKS AT THE 3% RANGE AT THAT TIME. YOU SEE ACTIVE MOVEMENT, AVERAGE ACROSS THOSE 17 ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THAT PERIOD.

AND RIGHT THERE IN THE APPROPRIATE POSITION FOR US OVER THIS LAST YEAR. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS -- SO THIS IS OUR ANALYSIS. WE DO THIS ON A VARIETY OF JOBS.

SO HERE WE SEE WITH POLICE OFFICER, THE GREEN IS AS OF TODAY, WE ARE -- WE ARE TENTH OF THE 17 CITIES AS OF TODAY.

BUT FOR US TO GET THE TOP THIRD, THAT WOULD BE MOVING TO 6TH PLACE THAT WE WOULD NEED TO MOVE 2.97% IF WE SHIFTED OUR TOP POLICE OFFICER TO 112-228. WE GAVE THIS PRESENTATION LAST YEAR, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOLKS TO GET TO THE MAXIMUM.

YOU SEE FURTHEST ON THE RIGHT, YEARS TO MAX, MOST OF THE CITIES ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR WITH A COUPLE OF OUTLINERS.

A LONGER TIME FOR THEM TO ACHIEVE TOP OUT.

A LOT OF THE OTHER CITIES ARE SIMILAR TO US, FAIRLY QUICK PROGRESSION FROM HIGHER TO TOP OUT.

WE ARE FAIRLY COMPARABLE AS FAR AS YEARS TO MATCH FOR COMPARED ORGANIZATIONS. SAME THING ON FIRE, WE GAVE A LARGE 3.74% INCREASE, FOURTH HIGHEST ACROSS 17 CITIES LAST YEAR, AND THIS EXAMPLE, FOUR CITIES DIDN'T GIVE AN INCREASE.

3% BALL PARK AT THAT TIME. AVERAGE ACROSS THIS WHOLE GROUP WAS 2.24 LAST YEAR. WE SIGNIFICANTLY OUTPACED THAT.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE IS OUR DISTANCE TO GET BACK TO THAT SAME TOP THIRD IS SMALLER.

NOW IT'S JUST 2 PERCENT. IF WE MOVE FROM THE GREEN SPOT TO THE PURPLE SPOT TO ACHIEVE TOP THIRD.

SIMILAR WITH YEARS TO MAX. AS YOU SAW IN THE OTHER SLIDE WITH ARLINGTON BEING THE OUTLINER, BUT THAT 5, 6, 7

BALLPARK. >> 6-7.

>> THANK YOU. >> WE DID THE SAME THING WITH DISPATCH AND DETENTION OFFICER. USE THE SAME METHODOLOGY.

GO BACK TO THE PRIOR SLIDE, DISPATCH.

WE MOVED -- WE WENT PRETTY AGGRESSIVE AT FIVE PERCENT.

ON THE WHOLE, WE SEE LOW TURNOVER.

THIS IS A PART OF IT. WE'VE BEEN PRETTY AGGRESSIVE, TRYING TO KEEP PAY PRETTY HIGH. BUNCH OF CITIES THAT DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL. WE MOVED PRETTY AGGRESSIVELY. ON THE NEXT SLIDE, FOR US TO GET THERE WOULD BE ABOUT A 1% INCREASE.

CLOSE TO TOP THIRD. IT'S A SMALLER BUMP HERE.

AND THEN ON THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'VE GOT DETENTION OFFICER.

MOVED FOUR PERCENT LAST YEAR. WE'RE SEEING A VARIETY -- YOU REALLY SEE A VARIETY OF DATA HERE.

YOU MAY LOOK AT THE SLIDE AND SAY WHY DO TWO OF THE DATA POINTS SHOW DECREASE IN PAY. NOT TYPICALLY WHAT YOU SEE.

THEY SHRUNK THE TOP STEP OF THEIR DETENTION OFFICER POSITIONS -- 4% WAS GREATER THAN THE GROUP AVERAGE FOR LAST YEAR.

THAT GETS US ABOUT 2% AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

[00:35:06]

LET'S SEE HERE. YEAH.

WE'VE GOT OVER HALF OUR EMPLOYEES ACROSS 203 DIFFERENT TITLES. THESE ARE WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE IN MOST ORGANIZATIONS. MID POINT AND MAXIMUM OPEN RANGE POSITION. AND SO THIS COVERS A LARGE PORTION OF OUR WORKFORCE. WHAT WE DO HERE, IT'S THE SAME METHODOLOGY. WE TAKE 52, WE LOOK AT THOSE 17 CITIES AND GET AS MANY MATCHES AS POSSIBLE.

WE REFINE IT TO THE 32 THAT ARE, LIKE, THE BEST BENCH MARKS THAT ARE REALLY CLEARLY SHOWING GOOD MARKET DATA FOR US TO BASE EVERYTHING OFF OF. TOP THIRD METHODOLOGY WITH THE POLICE OFFICERS, FIREFIGHTERS. OVERALL STRUCTURE ABOUT 4.21% BEHIND MARKET STRUCTURES COLLECTIVELY.

WE PICK OUT A FEW OF THE ONES THAT ARE WAY OFF.

AND WE WOULD MOVE THOSE SEPARATE FROM THE STRUCTURES.

THERE'S A FEW TITLES IF WE MOVED ALL THE STRUCTURES BY 4.21%, WE'D HAVE SOME ADDITIONALS THERE.

THAT CAN RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS.

YOU'LL SEE THAT ON THE FINAL SLIDE.

IF WE MOVED THAT, THE DOLLARS GET SIGNIFICANT -- BUT THAT'S ALL THE RECRUITMENT SIDE. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE RETENTION SIDE. SO THAT'S THE STEPS, THAT'S THE MERIT INCREASES, HOW FOLKS PROGRESS THROUGH THE -- THEY'RE IN. STEPS, BY DESIGN FOR POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS, WE'VE PURPOSEFULLY START PAY FAIRLY HIGH AS MINIMUM AND PROGRESS FOLKS PRETTY AGGRESSIVELY THROUGH RANGES. THAT IS GOOD TO NOTE BECAUSE THOSE TOP DOWN, IF THEY ARE TOPPED OUT, THEY DON'T GET A STEP IN A GIVEN YEAR. SO THEIR ONLY METHOD FOR THAT 68% OF A PAY INCREASE WOULD BE IF WE ACTUALLY CHANGED THE STRUCTURE THAT MARKET MOVEMENT FOR POLICE OFFICER OR FIREFIGHTER. FOR THE -- MORE THAN HALF OUR OTHER EMPLOYEES IN THESE OPEN RANGES, THERE ARE NOT SET STEPS, IT'S AN OPEN STRUCTURE. EVERY YEAR WE TYPICALLY HAVE FUNDED A MERIT. THE MERIT, IT IS BASED ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA TO ACHIEVE THE MERIT.

MOST OF OUR EMPLOYEES DO ACHIEVE IT.

YOU SEE THE MERIT HISTORY HERE. SO IT'S BEEN VARIABLE OVER YEARS. 3 OR 4%.

LAST YEAR WE DID A 1% MERIT FOR THESE EMPLOYEES, AND THEN MOVED THEIR STRUCTURES 2% ON OCTOBER 1.

THEY SAW A 2% ON OCTOBER 1. ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY -- FOR A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 3%. SO THOSE ARE THE MAIN STEPS IN MERIT, OR THE MAIN WAYS IN WHICH FOLKS PROGRESS THROUGH A RANGE.

ADDITIONAL THINGS ON RETENTION, JOB PROGRESSION.

THIS IS A NEW THING WE CREATED IN 2024.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT -- ROUGHLY 180 EMPLOYEES ELIGIBLE BASED ON JOB CLASSIFICATION, ALL THE GREY IN THE BOTTOM.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ABOUT HALF OF THE FOLKS IN THOSE JOBS THAT HAVE -- LET'S SEE. YEAH.

ABOUT HALF ARE ELIGIBLE AND ABOUT HALF ARE ALREADY THERE.

87 EMPLOYEES THAT PROGRESS SENIOR ROLES.

LAST TWO FISCAL YEARS, ONLY 7 OF THEM LEAVE THE ORGANIZATION.

IT'S A MUCH LOWER TURNOVER RATES WITH FOLKS IN THESE POSITIONS THAN GLOBALLY ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION.

THAT MAKES SENSE. INVEST IN FOLKS, DO SOMETHING BESIDES NOT ONLY JUST WAITING FOR SUPERVISOR OR JOB TO COME UP, BUT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. THIS HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

BUT COMES WITH ONGOING COST. FOLKS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE BUT NOT YET ACHIEVED THE CRITERIA. WE EXPECT 26 EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION THAT WOULD MEET THAT CRITERIA AND THEN BE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT PAY INCREASE. PART OF WHAT WE KEEP UP WITH IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. OUR TEAM LOOKED AT A VARIETY OF AD PAYS. ONE EXAMPLE I THINK IS A GOOD CLEAR EXAMPLE, TRAINING OFFICER PAY, EDUCATIONAL PAY, VARIOUS OTHER THINGS WE HAVE ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION.

YOU SEE IN THIS EXAMPLE, BOTH THE POLICE AND IN FIRE, WE HAVE A FIELD TRAINING OFFICER ASSIGNMENT.

THAT'S SOMEBODY WHO IS KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT BEING A POLICE OFFICER, OR AS A FIREFIGHTER.

AND THEY'RE ASSIGNED TO THEN RO. YOU SEE HERE, WE PAY $180 PER MONTH FOR FOLKS ASSIGNED TO THAT ACTIVITY.

WE HAVE ABOUT 32 PEOPLE ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION ASSIGNED TO THOSE FUNCTIONS ACROSS THOSE TWO DEPARTMENTS.

[00:40:01]

SO THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE ANALYSIS THAT WE'VE DONE.

DIDN'T WANT TO THROW -- THERE'S A LOT OF DATA.

DIDN'T WANT TO THROW EVERYTHING AT YOU IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY. WE'VE LOOKED AT ALL THE PARAMETERS ON THIS SLIDE AS WELL.

SO BENEFITS UPDATE. I'VE GOT TWO THINGS ON BENEFITS.

THE FIRST ONE, I'LL GO QUICK. REIMBURSEMENT.

THIS ORGANIZATION FOR EMPLOYEES, WHAT IS A CHALLENGE IS WE SET A MAX CAP FOR POLICY. THE MAX IS $1,500 PER YEAR.

THE TYPICAL 3-HOUR CLASS IS -- JUST FOR ONE CLASS.

WE'RE SEEING FAIRLY LOW PARTICIPATION.

AND ACROSS OUR 17 CITIES, WE DO SEE A MEDIAN OF $3,000 REIMBURSEMENT OR AVERAGE OF $3,600 REIMBURSEMENT.

ONE AREA WE MIGHT LOOK AT SOME ADJUSTMENTS IN THE UPCOMING YEAR. AND THEN ON EMPLOYED BENEFITS, WE'RE DOING A BIG RFP FOR MEDICAL AND RELATED PRODUCTS.

AS WE GET THROUGH THAT, WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE RESULTS, PROBABLY COMING BACK TO COUNCIL IN AUGUST.

WE HAVE TO PLAN AHEAD. YOU SEE OUT IN THE WORLD, WE CONTINUE TO SEE INCREASES AND MEDICAL EXPENSES.

RECOMMENDATION IS 11% INCREASE TO EMPLOYEES OVER THIS NEXT YEAR. IT IS NOT A FLAT 1100% ACROSS THE LEVELS. IT DOES TIER HIGH.

WE KNOW BASED ON OUR ANALYSES THE CITY BEARS A GREATER PORTION OF THAT COST NIGHT. IT IS REDISTRIBUTING -- WITH OUR BENEFIT CONSULTANT. IN THESE SCENARIOS, I ALWAYS LOOK AT THIS, THE LARGEST INCREASE AN EMPLOYEE WOULD SEE IS $4,808. OUR LOWEST PAID FULL EMPLOYEE THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 1% THEIR SHS PAY.

THEY'LL NET TO THE POSITIVE AND THAT'S JUST IN THE MOST EXTREME EXAMPLE HERE. ANYTHING ELSE I MISSED ON THAT ONE? OKAY.

SO THIS WOULD REALLY CAPTURE YOUR ATTENTION.

UP TO 4.8 MILLION DOLLARS. ACTUALLY, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE 4.8 MILLION DOLLARS. NO, WE DO NOT.

JUST DOUBLE CHECKING. >> FROM YESTERDAY.

MAYBE WE'LL SEE. JUST IN SUMMARY, THIS PRESENTATION HERE TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE DATA IS.

WE WANT TO TRACK THAT DATA, DO THE BEST AS FAR AS BEING MARKET COMPETITIVE AND MOVING THE BAR WITH OUR EMPLOYEES.

BUT AS CLAIRE MENTIONED, OTHER CITIES ARE SEEING TIGHT BUDGET YEARS, STRUGGLES, WE'RE TAKING ALL OF THAT INTO ACCOUNT, THESE REALITIES, AND WE'LL COME BACK WITH MORE INFORMATION IN AUGUST.

JUST AS A QUICK POINT OF REFERENCE BEFORE I FINISH UP.

THESE TOP TWO ARE RECRUITING. ABOUT 3 POINT -- I HAD THE NUMBER HERE. LET ME PULL IT UP.

I THINK IT WAS 3.2 MILLION. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

HERE IT IS. YEAH, 3.1 MILLION, RECRUIT AND RETAIN AT ABOUT 1.6 MILLION. NOT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD ALL THIS, IF WE JUST DID IT AT THE SCALE, TWICE AS MUCH RESOURCES TO RECRUITMENT AS RETENTION.

BACK TO THE PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSION OF THE RIGHT BALANCE.

JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT POINT TO YOU.

GO AHEAD. >> SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS DEEP DIVING ON WHAT IS THE STRATEGY TO CRACK THIS EGG.

YOU KNOW, FOR US, I WILL SAY, I HAVE LOTS OF CITY MANAGER FRIENDS, 3% ACROSS THE BOARD, AND THEY DON'T PUT MUCH THOUGHT INTO THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND IT, WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO THAT.

IT MIGHT BE -- MERIT, MARKET. THEY DON'T REALLY CARE AS LONG AS THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING 3%. FOR US, WE'VE MADE IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT ON OURSELVES AS WE TRY TO BE FILL S-- PHILOSOPHICALLY CONSISTENT. WE KNOW WHERE COUNCIL WANTS US TO GO. IS THE IMPORTANCE PUSHING THE MARKET OR IS IT KEEPING PEOPLE SIMILARLY -- IF I'M GETTING 3%, DOES IT MATTER IF I'M GETTING IT THROUGH MARKET OR MERIT.

I DON'T KNOW IT MATTERS TO THE AVERAGE EMPLOYEE.

BUT IT CAN CHANGE COMPRESSION ISSUES.

IT HAS RIPPLE EFFECTS. WHICHEVER YOU DO HAS RIPPLE EFFECTS. THE OTHER THING THAT I JUST WANT

[00:45:01]

A BOX I'VE PUT MYSELF IN P HAS NOW P DWR GOTTEN SEXUALER.

WE'LL FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEST ACHIEVE THAT.

>> IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO OPEN THE REGULAR MEETING AND COME BACK TO QUESTIONS.

>> CAN I HAVE ONE COMMENT? >> NO BECAUSE I THINK I HAVE

OTHER QUESTIONS LINED UP. >> REQUEST WE'RE ABLE TO GET THE NUMBERS WITH THE RETENTION NUMBERS WITHOUT THE RETIREMENTS IN IT. BECAUSE IN MY MIND, THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. ISH.

>> REQUEST OUR CURRENT METRICS OVER LAST 365 DAYS.

ALL TURNOVER INCLUDING RER TIRMENT

>> ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE LEWISVILLE CITY

[A. Invocation - Mayor TJ Gilmore]

JOIN ME IN A MOMENT OF SILENT PRAYER AND CONTEMPLATION.

[C. Presentation]

>> ALL RIGHT. JENNIFER, I THINK YOU AND I A WHOLE BUNCH OF THIS TO GO. NEXT UP WE HAVE OUR CERTIFICATES OF APPOINTMENTS TO NEWLY APPOINTED MEMBERS OF BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES. A LOT OF YOU ALL OUT THERE.

RAISE YOUR HANDS IF YOU'RE HERE FOR THAT.

TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE FOR THAT.

LOVE YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS IS CRITICAL TO A HIGH FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY.

IS THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE INVOLVED AT ALL LEVELS OF THE DISCUSSION.

WE COULD NOT DO WHAT WE DO UP HERE IF WE DID NOT HAVE YOU TO DO WHAT YOU DO ON OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

IT'S TREMENDOUS. PEOPLE THINK THIS STUFF JUST HAPPENS OVERNIGHT. TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PROCESS THAT GOES INTO ALL THE DECISIONS WE MAKE BECAUSE WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR YOUR TAX DOLLARS AND MINE.

SO MAKING SURE WE HAVE GOOD EYES THAT MEET OUR CULTURE, REQUIREMENTS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY MEET WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT IS KEY.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, ATTENTION, YOUR BLOOD, YOUR TREASURE, YOUR BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TIERS, LATE NIGHTS, ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT WILL COME FROM THESE.

JENNIFER IS GOING TO LEAD US ALL.

I THINK EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OATH.

IF EVERYBODY WOULD STAND. JOIN US UP HERE AT THE FRONT.

THERE WE GO. AND SOME OF US UP HERE HAVE OATHS TO TAKE AS WELL, SO WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK DOWN HERE.

AND WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES PRESERVE AND PROTECT

[00:50:08]

>> ALL RIGHT. ITEM D -1, PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDERATION AND ORDINANCE OF THE LEWISVILLE CITY COUNCIL.

TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 2.577 ACRES OF THE LAND COUNCIL HILL GOLF COURSE, A PORTION OF LOT 4-B, LOCATED SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF LADY OF THE LAKE BOULEVARD, INTERSECTION OF ROYAL MINISTER BOULEVARD AND IRELAND AVENUE FROM PLAN DEVELOPMENT SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT PDR 12 DISTRICT ZONING TO GENERAL BUSINESS, DISTRICT ZONING TO AMEND THE PRIMARY -- SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT 3 B CORRECTING THE ZONING MAP AND DISTRICTS, PEFSHG ALL PORTIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE, PROMOTES HEALTH, SAFETY, AND GENERAL SAFETY OF THE CITY.

PRIOR TO ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE.

PROPOSING EXPANSION OF THE FACILITY.

BECAUSE THE FACILITY PREDATES PROCESSES REQUIRED TO -- LEWISVILLE'S CURRENT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

PORTION OF THE PROPERTY WILL NEED TO BE REZONED AND A SPECIAL USE PERMIT MUST BE APPROVED FOR THE EXPANDED COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT OUTDOOR USE. THE SUP WILL APPEAR AFTER THE ZONE CHANGES -- ANALYSIS APPROVAL, 7-0, ON JUNE THE 2ND, 2026. IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE ORDINANCES, AND WE DO HAVE OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.

DO HAVE COUPLE OF E COMMENTS. LET ME SEE HERE.

MICHAEL AND DANIEL SENT E-MAILS IN SUPPORT OF THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST. AND I ALSO HAVE HANNAH HABER.

NOT WISHING TO SPEAK BUT IS IN SUPPORT -- SHE'S THE APPLICANT GIVING THE PRESENTATION.

WITH THAT, ANY QUESTIONS FOR RICHARD BEFORE WE HAVE HANNAH

COME ON UP? >> I DO THINK THERE ARE TWO MORE COMMENTS SUBMITTED LAST MINUTE. IS THAT RIGHT, JENNIFER? SHOULD BE FOUR TOTAL THAT ARE ALL IN SUPPORT.

>> DO WE HAVE THOSE OTHER TWO? I'VE GOT -- LET'S SEE.

SURE I GOT MY DOUBLE. THANK YOU, MR. KELLY.

I'VE GOT DAVID GERARD ALSO EXPRESSING FAVOURABLE OPINION OF

[00:55:02]

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR RICHARD? MR. HABER? IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE FOR THE

RECORD, PLEASE. >> CAN YOU ALL SEE THE PRESENTATION TOO? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT GETS ON THE ABOVE, UNLESS IT COMES TO Y'ALL.

>> WE CANNOT. >> THERE WE GO.

PERFECT. >> WE DON'T HAVE IT YET.

>> THERE IT IS. ALL RIGHT.

>> OKAY, PERFECT. >> MY NAME IS HANNAH HABER, ADDRESS -- IN LEWISVILLE, TEXAS. I'M HERE TO PRESENT ON THE LAKE SIDE COURT EXPANSION. SO WHY ARE WE HERE? LAKE SIDE CASTLE HILLS LOOKING TO PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE GROWING COMMUNITY AND ITS MEMBERS.

SO WE'RE LOOKING TO REZONE THE TWO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT R-12.

TWO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD ADDITIONAL TENNIS COURTS AS WELL AS ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL PICKLEBALL COURTS. AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THE IMAGE, THE GREEN PORTION IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO REZONE TO GB-2.

WITHIN GB-2, YOU HAVE TO USE AN SUP FOR PICKLEBALL COURTS.

WHICH IS WHY YOU SEE A REZONING TONIGHT.

LITTLE PROJECT OVERVIEW. SO THE PLACEMENT OF THE TENNIS COURTS AND THE PICKLEBALL COURTS WERE VERY INTENTIONAL BECAUSE OF THE EXISTING RESIDENTS. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HERE IN THE IMAGE THE YELLOW AND THE BLUE IS THE FLOOD PLANE AND THE YELLOW IS THE EXISTING COURT. AND THE GREEN IS THE PROPOSED TENNIS COURTS. AND THE RED IS THE KSH WHERE THE PROPOSED PICKLEBALL COURTS WILL BE.

AND SO AGAIN, THE PICKLEBALL COURTS WERE VERY INTENTIONAL AS WELL DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVE THAN THE TENNIS COURTS ARE. AND WE WANTED TO SHIELD THOSE A LITTLE BIT MORE -- EXCUSE ME, WITH THE COURTHOUSE -- OR NOT COURTHOUSE. I'M SORRY.

THE CLUB HOUSE. SORRY.

AND THEN AS WELL AS, LIKE, ALL THE ADDITIONAL EXISTING TREES.

SO WE -- WITH THE ADDITIONAL PICKLEBALL COURTS AND TENNIS COURTS, WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING.

WITH THIS WHERE THE PICKLEBALL COURTS ARE GOING TO GO, WE'RE CURRENTLY STAYING WITH THE IMAGE IS SHOWING, WE'RE CURRENTLY STANDING ON WHERE THE PUTTING GREEN IS TODAY.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CLUBHOUSE.

AND THE CLUB BEHIND THE CLUBHOUSE IS WHERE ALL THE EXISTING RESIDENTS ARE. WE WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A LITTLE BIT OF IMAGERY OF WHERE THOSE PICKLEBALL COURTS WILL BE PLACED. AND WITH THE PARKING -- SO CURRENTLY TODAY, THERE'S A LOT OF MEMBERS PARKING ON THE GRASS IN ORDER TO UTILIZE THE TENNIS COURTS.

SO WE KIND OF WANT TO MITIGATE FOR THAT AND MAKE THIS A -- YOU KNOW, SO THEY'RE NOT RUINING THE GRASS, NOT PARKING ON THE GRASS.

WE'RE GOING TO ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE THREE SPOTS ON EACH SIDE IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT DRIVE CONNECT.

AND THEN WITH THE LANDESCAPING, WE'RE LOOKING TO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE EXISTING TREES OR LANDESCAPING ON THIS SITE FOR THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. WE ARE GOING TO ADD TWO CEDAR ELM TREES ON THE ENDS OF THE PROPOSED PARKING SPACES.

SO WE DID ALSO DO A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING, AND WE HOSTED THAT ON MONDAY 4:13. AND ABOUT 13 RESIDENTS SIGNED UP TO JOIN THE MEETING AS WELL. AND DURING THAT MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS, THE REASON FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS, AND WE ALSO HEARD RESIDENT FEEDBACK.

AND SO DURING THAT MEETING, A MAJORITY OF THE DISCUSSION WAS GEARED TOWARDS THE LIGHTING AND THE NOISE.

AND HOW WE KIND OF MITIGATED FOR THAT WAS WE CHANGED THE HOURS OF OPERATION FROM 10 P.M. TO 9 P.M. IN ORDER TO HELP WITH THE LIGHTING AND HELP WITH THE NOISE WITH THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTS.

WE ALSO ARE INTENDING FOR ALL OF THE LIGHTS TO BE TURNED OFF AT 9 P.M. AS WELL. WE ALSO HAD THE GENERAL MANAGER HAD AN ELECTRICIAN COME OUT TO LOOK AT THE LIGHTING TO ENSURE IT WAS THE NEW TIMER AND SCHEDULER.

WHEN POSSIBLE, THEY'RE LOOKING TO UTILIZE THE COURTS THAT ARE FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTS.

AND I ALSO WANTED TO SPEAK TO YOU.

[01:00:02]

I WANTED TO BRING THAT UP SO Y'ALL ARE AWARE.

THAT WAS NOT MENTIONED AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING, NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS PROPOSED OR ASKED FOR BY THE RESIDENTS.

THAT WAS COMPLETELY AN INTERNAL THING OF SOMETHING WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO IN THE FUTURE IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF. BUT THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS ASKED FOR BY THE RESIDENTS OR EVEN BROUGHT UP OR MENTIONED.

I WANTED TO MENTION THAT. AND THEN AS FAR AS THE LIGHTING GOES, WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD SOME LIGHT SHIELDS TO HELP WITH LETTING THE LIGHT HIT DIRECTLY DOWN INSTEAD OF GOING OUT AND DISPURSING INTO THE RESIDENTS'S HOMES.

ONCE WE GET INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PLANES, IT WILL HELP WITH NOT GOING AND DISPERSING WITH THE SHIELDS.

AND WE ALSO CAN KIND OF SEE ON THE IMAGE ARE ALL THE EXISTING LIGHT POLES ARE NOW AS WELL AS WHERE THE PROPOSED LIGHTS WILL BE FOR TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL COURTS.

AND THAT IS MY PRESENTATION. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

YOU MAY HAVE. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

WITH THE -- CAN YOU GO BACK TO THIS SLIDE -- YEAH, THIS ONE

WILL DO. >> OKAY.

>> SO YOU SAID THE BLUE LINE IS THE FLOOD PLANE.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> SO THE NEW PARKING IS IN THE

FLOOD PLANE? >> YEAH, SINCE IT'S CONCRETE THE GRADE WILL FLOW INTO THE FLOOD PLANE.

TENNIS COURTS OR PICKLEBALL COURTS IN THERE, BUT THE CONCRETE WILL BE JUST FOR THE PARKING.

>> OKAY. SO WE COULD BE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE THE PARKING THAT'S UNDER WATER.

>> IT DOESN'T FLOOD TODAY LIKE THAT.

IT'S NOT SEVERE TO THAT LEVEL. BUT YES, IN THIS PICTURE, I MEAN, IT COULD FLOOD UP TO THAT. BUT IT IS -- THE MAJORITY OF THE MARKING IS OUT OF IT, AND AGAIN, WE WERE JUST LOOKING TO ADD SOME MORE PARKING, AND THAT WAS THE ONLY LOGICAL PLACE TO BE ABLE TO

PUT THAT. >> UNDERSTOOD.

BUT COULD YOU GRADE IT SO THAT -- BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE MAJORITY OF THE NEW PARKING IS GOING TO BE IN THE FLOOD PLANE, UNLESS I'VE GOT THE FLIP SIDE OF IT WRONG.

BUT REGARDLESS, I MEAN, IF YOU GRADE IT TO WHERE THAT PARKING CAN KIND OF COME UP OUT OF THE FLOOD PLANE, THAT WOULD BE --

>> OKAY, YEAH. WE CAN LOOK -- WE CAN CERTAINLY

LOOK INTO THAT. >> THAT PART COMES WITH THE SUP

OR WITH ENGINEERING SITE PLAN. >> THOSE ARE DETAILS THAT WILL BE WORKED OUT AS PART OF THE ENGINEERING SIDE PLAN.

>> OKAY. >> LOOK INTO THAT.

I WOULD SAY THE NATURAL GRADE IS FOR IT TO -- IT GOES THIS WAY -- LIKE, LEFT. NO, GOES RIGHT, I'M SORRY.

IT GOES RIGHT AND THEN DOWN. THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD LOOK TO THE EXISTING GRADES AND HOW IT'S NATURALLY FLOWING NOW AND

WE WOULD ADHERE TO THAT. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU. >> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

SO THE RESIDENT MEETING THAT WENT OUT TO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE PROXIMATE TO THE BUILD, DIDN'T GO OUT TO EVERYBODY, JUST

APPROXIMATE -- >> WE WENT TO ALL -- AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO BACK ONE MORE.

SO ON THE SCREEN, THE RESIDENTS RIGHT THERE, AS YOU CAN KIND OF SEE, IT WAS THAT ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD --

>> THE ONES IMPACTED. >> WE SENT OUT ALL POST CARDS TO I THINK IT WAS 65, 70 HOMES. AND PLONL, AGAIN, 13 RESIDENTS

KIND OF CAME OUT. >> IT'S PRETTY GOOD.

>> IT WAS. >> I WILL SAY, AND HOW LONG -- MAJOR MORE A QUESTION FOR YOU. BUT SIBS FOR PROPOSING SKOENG

CHANGE, THEY'VE BEEN UP FOREVER. >> YES, THEY GO OUT PRIOR TO OUR PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES THAT GO OUT IN THE MAIL.

WHICH IS TYPICALLY ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING WHICH WAS A MONTH AGO. I BRING THAT UP BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN OUT THERE A COUPLE MONTHS. DO I HAVE THE TIMELINE CORRECT? I HAVE SEEN NO OBJECTIONS TO THIS FROM ANY RESIDENT.

ONE RESIDENT HSHL CONCERNS AT THE MEETING.

SO THE MEETING YOU HAD THAT HAD 13 RESIDENTS, I'D UNDERSTOOD THROUGH THE RUMOUR MILL IN CASTLE HILLS, THERE'S ONE RESIDENT THAT EXPRESSED OCCURRENCE BUT BOUGHT AFTER THOSE COURTS WERE IN PLACE. SO MY TAKEWAY IS THERE SANT BEEN ANYONE THAT HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THIS, WSHG.

>> I'M GOING TO GO TO MY APPENDIX FAST.

THE COURTS WERE ESTABLISHED BEFORE THE RESIDENTS' HOMES WERE BUILT. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HERE.

[01:05:02]

AND THEN THE HOMES KIND OF -- >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE STORM WATER RUN OFF INCREASES THAT MCADAMS SAID WOULD BE THERE.

BUT THAT'S ALL GOING TO BE ADDRESSED WHEN YOU COME BACK FOR THE SUP. YEAH, I'M KIND OF HAVING HEART BURN WITH THE PARKING LOT BEING IN A FLOOD PLANE.

WHEN IT RAINS OUT THERE, A NORMAL RAIN, I GO OUT THERE BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH FLOOD AND EROSION ISSUES FOR THINGS NOT BEING MAINTAINED LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THAT WE'VE NOW INHERITED. SO THAT IS AN ISSUE FOR ME.

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, THEN WE'RE PARKING SOMEPLACE ELSE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T USE THE PARKING LOT.

>> YES, MA'AM. AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

THE GRADING WILL LOOK AT THAT AND KRAESZ THAT WHEN IT COMES TO THE ENGINEERING PLANS. WE'LL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE PARKING BEING IN THE FLOODPLANE, AND MITIGATING FOR THAT SHTHS,Y.

>> I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. FWR.

GOD NEEDS WE NEED MORE PICKLEBALL COURTS.

THAT'S ALL WE'RE HEARING ABOUT THESE DAYS.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MCADAMS? ALL RIGHT.

>> OKAY. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU Y'ALL SO MUCH. >> ALL RIGHT, THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS IS NOW OPEN. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR COMMENT CARDS? OKAY.

COUNCIL, IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, MOTION TO CLOSE

THAT WOKE YOU ALL UP, THOUGH. I JUST WANTED TO SEE, I RODE OUT ON FOURTH OF JULY. CITY STAFF ALL DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. EVERYONE WAS A LOT MORE BEHAVED THAN I ANTICIPATED. I DON'T MEAN JUST STAFF.

A GREAT EVENT. THE WEATHER COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER. THE MUSIC WAS GREAT.

OUR PLAN OF NOT HAVING THESE IN JULY HAS COME TO FRUITION WITH THIS WEEK BEING ALMOST UNBEARABLE, I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT PLAN. GREAT NEWS TO EVERYBODY.

>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER KUYKENDALL.

>> REPORT. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

ONE BRIEF REPORT IS THAT THE LAKE WATER LEVEL IS AT 522.73 FEET. THAT MEANS WE'RE.73 FEET ABOVE THE FULL POOL LEVEL. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, EXACTLY? THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE WE START SEEING SIGNS THAT COME OUT FOR VARIOUS CITIES TO RESTRICT WATERING OR LOCK THINGS DOWN, AND PEOPLE GO, OH, THE LAKE'S FULL, WHY ARE WE DOING THAT? WE'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE THE LAKE EMPTIES. WHILE WE HAVE AN EXCESSIVELY RAINY JUNE, ONE OF THE TOP ON RECORD FOR JUNE, THE IMPORTANT PIECE IS WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WATER AND WATER CON SERVATION.

WE MAKE SURE WE KEEP THAT GOING. LAKE IS DOING WELL.

WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE IT DO WELL.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE I WILL TELL YOU THE LARGEST WATER CITY -- IS THE CITY. WE DO THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN.

WORKING ON WAYS TO REDUCE THAT FOOTPRINT.
