May 20, 2024 Work Session

[00:00:06]

WELL. GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE MAY 20TH, 2024 WORK SESSION FOR THE GARLAND CITY COUNCIL. WE WANT TO WELCOME OUR NEWEST MEMBER FROM DISTRICT TWO, CHRIS BEARD. SHE WAS SWORN IN LAST WEEK. SO THIS WEEK STARTS THE OFFICIAL THE OFFICIALNESS. SO WELCOME, WELCOME. AND, LET'S SEE, THE FIRST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING IS PUBLIC COMMENTS ON WORK SESSION ITEMS. I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. MOVIE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.

[CONSIDER THE CONSENT AGENDA]

OH, NO. I'M SORRY, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR TOMORROW NIGHT, I APOLOGIZE. NO, NO. YOU'RE GOOD. I WAS LIKE, HANG ON A SECOND. I'M JUMPING AHEAD. YEAH. YES WE'LL GET THERE JUST A SECOND. OKAY. SO OBVIOUSLY IF THERE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT PULLED, IF

[1. Investment Portfolio Summary]

AND WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IN THE PAST? IS THIS ONE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WHAT ARE YOUR STRATEGIES FOR IT IN THE FUTURE? IF IT'S ONE THAT UNDERPERFORMS MANY OF THE YEARS. SO SURE, I'LL, I'LL START WITH DESCRIBING WHAT TEXT POOL IS. SO, BEING A GOVERNMENT ENTITY, WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT ACT. AND TEXT POOL IS ACTUALLY ADMINISTERED BY THE TEXAS COMPTROLLERS, AND WE USE IT TO BASICALLY PARK OUR DAILY LIQUIDITY. SO EACH DAY WE TRY TO KEEP OUR BANK BALANCES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, AND WE MAKE TRANSFERS IN AND OUT OF OUR TEXT POOL FUND TO FUND THE NEXT DAY'S LIQUIDITY NEEDS. SO THERE'S A CONSTANT MOVING BACK AND FORTH. THINK OF IT ALMOST LIKE A IF YOU HAVE A CHECKING ACCOUNT, YOU'RE MOVING MONEY INTO SAVINGS TO EARNUST A LITTLE BIT MORE YIELD. AND, ONE THING IS WE DON'T WE HAVE NEVER TAKEN AN ACTUAL LOSS ON ANY OF OUR INVESTMENTS. THE WAY THAT IS REPORTED IS WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED MARK OUR INVESTMENTS. SO WE HAVE TO SHOW IT TO WHAT IT IS IN THE MARKET. AND BASED ON THAT, THERE IS A MARKET LOSS, BUT IT'S NOT A REAL LOSS. WE HOLD ALL OF OUR INVESTMENTS TO MATURITY, TEXT POOL IS TRIPLE A RATED BY STANLEY STANDARDS AND POOR'S. THEY MEET DAILY LIQUIDITY NEEDS.

SO WE DON'T HOLD THE INVESTMENT. WE EITHER PARK IT IN THE POOL TO MEET THE NEXT DAY'SS LIQUIDITY NEEDS. AND IN THE CURRENT MARKET, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF MONEY IN THE POOLS RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S BECAUSE OF HIGHER INTEREST RATES. AND TYPICALLY WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS KEEP, AS A LOT OF IT, LIQUID WHAT WE SAY LIQUID IN OUR POOLS DURING HIGH INTEREST RATE TIMES AND THEN AS INTEREST RATES START DWINDLING DOWN, WE'LL LOOK TO GO LONGER IN OUR INVESTMENTS AND PUT IT INTO A TREASURY OR AN AGENCY, WHICH IS ALSO LOW, LOW RISK. GREAT. THANK YOU. THAT ANSWERS ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. I APPRECIATE IT. SURE. VERY GOOD. GREAT QUESTION. GREAT

CERTIFICATION ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO VERBAL BRIEFINGS. ITEM SEVEN PARKING ENFORCEMENT

[7. Parking Enforcement Program Update]

[00:05:07]

AS WE SIT HERE TODAY, THE FULL TIME DEPUTIES ARE SPLIT BEEEN THE PARKING AND THE COURTS. AND MOST OF THE PART TIME DEPUTIES ARE RETIRED. GPD WHO DO YOUR BUILDING SECURITY. THEY'RE THE ONES YOU SEE WHEN YOU WALK IN THE BUILDINGS. MOST PLACES, OUR PRIMARY DUTIES ARE PARKING ENFORCEMENT, CIVIL ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM THAT WAS STARTED HERE IN 2020 FOR FULL TIME DEPUTIES WITH ONE SUPERVISOR. WE DO COURT BUILDING SECURITY BAILIFFS, SUMMONS, WARRANTS AND PRISONER TRANSFERS AND THEN WE DO BUILDING SECURITY AROUND THE CITY, CITY HALL, MSM, CARVER AND MAIN LIBRARY CURRENTLY ARE THE BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE. SECURITY AT THE PARKING PROGRAM ITSELF STARTED IN FEBRUARY OF 2020, FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS WE ISSUED WARNINGS. IT WAS PAUSED DURING COVID, OR AT LEAST IT WAS DONE A LOT LESSER IN COVID. AND THEN THE PROGRAM STARTED WITH TWO DEPUTIES AND A SUPERVISOR. NOW WE'RE UP TO FOUR DEPUTIES AND ONE SUPERVISOR STARTED WITH FOUR TICKET RIDERS. WE HAVE FIVE NOW. ON AVERAGE. WE RECEIVE ABOUT 400 COMPLAINTS A MONTH AND MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS REQUIRE MULTIPLE TRIPS. 48 HOUR PARKING, FOR EXAMPLE. WE GO OUT, WE STICKER THE CAR, AND WE COME BACK TO SEE IF IT MOVED, THE THREE HOUR RESTRICTED PARKING. WE HAVE TO MARK IT TO SHOW IT WAS THERE. AND WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO SEE IF IT MOVED. AND THEN OVERNIGHTS, COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE PARKING, SE THING. WE HAVE TO MARKET THE NIGHT BEFORE.

COME BACK THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF IT MOVED. AND THEN WE DO FOLLOW UPS ON SOME OF THE WARNINGS WE GIVE, AND WE GIVE A LOT OF WARNINGS. AND THEN SINCE MAY OF 2020, WE'VE AVERAGED ABOUT 1246 TICKETS WARNINGS ISSUED PER MONTH. THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CITIZENS WITHIN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS BY ENFORCING PARKING ORDINANCES. THE MAJOR THINGS THAT WE FOCUS ON THE VIOLATIONS ARE BLOCKED SIDEWALKS. WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO USE THE SIDEWALKS, PARKING IN YARDS OR ON UNIMPROVED SURFACES, AND THEN OVERSIZE VEHICLES AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS. AND WE LOOK FOR ABANDONED VEHICLES ON THE STREET TO GET THEM OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ARE COMPLAINT DRIVEN. AND WHEN I SAY COMPLAINT DRIVEN, WE RECEIVE A COMPLAINT. WE GO OUT AND WE HANDLE THAT COMPLAINT. AND THEN WE PATROL THE REST OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, I LEAVE IT UP TO THE DEPUTIES, THEIR DISCRETION. IF THEY DO EVERY STREET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY DO A FEW STREETS. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT OTHER COMPLAINTS THEY HAVE FOR THE DAY. AND THEN WE DO DIRECTED PATROLS. WHEN I SAY DIRECTED PATROLS, WHAT WE'VE CURRENTLY BEEN DOING IS WE'VE BEEN HITTING OUR AREAS WHERE WE CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS. COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE AREAS, SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THE OVERSIZE VEHICLES, WE TRY TO GO BACK TO THEM PERIODICALLY. THIS IS HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS. THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE HANDLES THE PARKING COMPLAINTS, ANY VEHICLES THAT ARE UNLAWFULLY PARKED IN PUBLIC PLACES, VEHICLES BLOCKING SIDEWALKS, VEHICLES PARKED ON UNAPPROVED SURFACES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, OVERSIZE VEHICLES IN CERTAIN ZONING. COMMERCIAL VEHICLES LEFT OVERNIGHT IN PUBLIC PLACES. THE MAIN CITY ORDINANCES THAT WE ENFORCE ARE 2601, 32, 56, 3257, AND 3355.

OUR CIVIL ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM IS UNDER 3355. THAT'S WHERE YOU WILL FIND MOST OF THE CIVIL OFFENSES CODE ENFORCEMENT. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM, BUT THEY HANDLE JUNK VEHICLES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THEY, THEY HANDLE, ANY VEHICLES PARKED ON THE STREET THAT MAY BE RELATED TO AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS. THAT WAS A NEW ORDINANCE WE PASSED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. AND THEN THEY DO HOME

[00:10:04]

WE HAD THAT ADDED ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO AT COUNCIL. FORMER COUNCILWOMAN MORRIS'S REQUEST. WE ALSO ADDED THAT TO THE LIST OF VIOLATIONS. AND THEN ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE THE OVERSIZE VEHICLES. YOU CAN SCROLL DOWN THERE AND IT'LL GIVE YOU A LIST OF VEHICLES THAT ARE CONSIDERED OVERSIZE AND CAN'T BE PARKED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU A LIST THAT, CAN BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IF THEY'RE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY OR THEY DO NOT QUALIFY AS AN OVERSIZE VEHICLE. SOME STATS FOR COMPLAINTS 2023 NUMBERS AND 2024 NUMBERS. THESE ARE SORTED BY THE VIOLATION THAT RECEIVED THE MOST COMPLAINTS. YOU NOTICE THAT IN BOTH 23 AND 24 UNATTENDED VEHICLES ON THE ROADWAY FOR LONGER THAN 48 HOURS, THAT WAS THE LONGEST COMPLAINT. PEOPLE CALLING IN ABOUT CARS ON THEIR STREET THAT HADN'T MOVED, FOLLOWED BY OVERSIZE VEHICLES IN BOTH YEARS. UNIMPROVED SURFACE PARKING ON SIDEWALK. WHEN WE LOOK AT TICKETS FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD, WE SEE THAT EXPIRED REGISTRATIONS. AND THAT WAS THAT'S A PART OF OUR ONE OF OUR OFFENSES UNDER THE CIVIL PROGRAM, IF YOU LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE PARKED ON THE STREET AND YOUR REGISTRATION IS EXPIRED FOR MORE THAN 90 DAYS, WE WILL WRITE YOU A CIVIL ENFORCEMENT TICKET.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE. THOSE HAVE LED 23 AND ARE LEADING IN 24 SO FAR. RIGHT UNDERNEATH IT IS PARKING ON THE SIDEWALK. AND THEN NO PARKING AND, NO PARKING ZONES. PARKING IN, NO PARKING ZONES AND THEN OVERSIZE VEHICLES. THESE ARE THE NUMBER OF TICKETS FOR EACH OF THOSE VIOLATIONS. AND THEN WE RECENTLY IN 2020 2ND DECEMBER, ADDED A FIELD SO THAT WE COULD START TRACKING COUNCIL DISTRICTS. AND WE'RE STILL WORKING THIS IN THE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN THE DEPUTIES HAVE BEEN TRAINED ON HOW TO GO LOOK UP THE COUNCIL DISTRICTS, BUT NOT ALWAYS THAT CLEAR ON SOME OF THE MAPS ON WHICH SIDE OF THE ROAD IS WHICH DISTRICT, SO WE STILL HAVE SOME UNKNOWNS THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH, BUT THESE WILL GET THIS INFORMATION WILL GET BETTER. AS FAR AS THE TICKETS GO, THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, THIS IS MORE OF OUR EVEN ROUGHER ESTIMATE, THERE'S A MAP WE USE THAT SHOWS PICTURES WITH THE NUMBER OF WHERE THE COMPLAINTS ARE, AND WE KIND OF PUT THAT UP AGAINST THE COUNCIL DISTRICT MAP, AND WE KIND OF CAME UP WITH THOSE NUMBERS THAT WAY. SO THEY'RE ROUGH NUMBERS FOR SURE. ON THE COMPLAINTS ON THE TICKETS. IF THE OFFICER FILLED IN THE COUNCIL DISTRICT, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE, THESE NUMBERS THAT YOU SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN ARE FROM APRIL 1ST OF 2022 TO APRIL 2023. AND THEN 23 TO 24. THE MORE RECENT NUMBERS. COMPLAINTS ON THE LEFT, TICKETS ON THE RIGHT. THIS IS THAT MAP I

[00:15:02]

ALSO, WHERE Y'ALL REALLY NARROWED IN ON A 6000 GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT, 9000 MODIFIED VEHICLE, NOT MODIFIED. SO THERE'S A LOT OF THOUGHT PUT INTO OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE.

THESE ARE THE SPECIFIC COMPLAINTS FROM APRIL 1ST, 2022 TO 23 DEALING WITH COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND WRONG WAY PARKING AID COMMERCIAL OR OVERSIZE VEHICLE COMPLAINTS, 44 WRONG WAY PARKING. AND THIS IS CITYWIDE AND THEN 87 FROM APRIL 23RD TO APRIL 24TH FOR THE OVERSIZE OR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, AND 50 AGAIN FOR THE WRONG WAY PARK FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION.

THESE WERE THE NUMBER OF TICKETS WE WROTE FOR THESE THINGS. FROM 2022 OF APRIL TO APRIL OF 23, WE WROTE 1321 TICKETS FOR OVERSIZE. OUR VEHICLE VIOLATIONS OR COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PARKED OVERNIGHT VIOLATIONS, AND 65 FOR FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION OVER THE LAST YEAR, FROM APRIL OF 2023 TO APRIL OF 24, WE'VE WRITTEN 1466 OVERSIZE OR COMMERCIAL VEHICLE TICKETS, AND WE'VE WRITTEN 487 PARK FACING THE WRONG WAY. WE HAVE PICKED UP ENFORCEMENT ON THAT WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING, AND THE COMPLAINTS DON'T SHOW HERE, BUT WE RECEIVE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT, EMAILS SPECIFICALLY TO ME, AND THERE WAS ONE PARTICULAR PERSON THAT EMAILED MANY TIMES AND FOR HIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR PARK CARS PARKED FACING THE WRONG WAY. SO WE DID A STUDY IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD IN MARCH OF 24. WE CONDUCTED THIS STUDY. WE RESPONDED TO THAT AREA, AND WE GAVE OUT 93 WARNINGS FOR CARS PARKED THE WRONG WAY, ALONG WITH 32 TICKETS FOR MISCELLANEOUS VIOLATIONS OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD. WE WENT BACK OUT AND WE OBSERVED THAT THERE WERE 26 VEHICLES PARKED FACING THE WRONG WAY. A WEEK AFTER WE DID THE TWO WEEKS OF WARNINGS AND THEN WE WENT BACK OUT ANOTHER WEEK AND IT HAD JUMPED BACK UP TO 39 CARS PARKED FACING THE WRONG WAY. BUT WE COUNTED 169 FACING THE RIGHT WAY. WE THINK THE WARNINGS DID SOME GOOD, SOME PEOPLE LEARNED, BUT AS YOU SEE, WE STILL HAD SOME THAT DID NOT. AND THEN THESE ARE WHERE TWO PART, REPORT YOUR INFORMATION IF YOU NEED TO. THAT'S THE PRESENTATION. I DID RUN THESE STATS TODAY THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. I'D LIKE TO GO OVER THOSE WITH YOU, AND THEN I'LL TAKE QUESTIONS. OKAY, THE STATS IN FRONT OF YOU ARE BROKEN DOWN BY YEAR. AND THEN I GROUPED THE VIOLATIONS. SO WHEN YOU SEE THE VIOLATIONS UNDER THERE, THOSE ARE GROUPINGS. OBVIOUSLY THE 2015 NUMBERS ARE NOT OURS. THOSE ARE IN THERE. THEY'RE PROBABLY FROM TEST OR THE VENDOR SETTING UP THE SYSTEM. I WOULDN'T EVEN PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THEM. I PLAN ON GOING THROUGH THOSE ONE BY ONE WHEN I HAVE TIME. STARTING IN 2020, WE WROTE 6000 TOTAL TICKETS AND AS YOU GO DOWN THERE, YOU CAN SEE THE GROUP BY, PARKING VIOLATION TYPES PARKED ON SIDEWALK. THAT'S ONE VIOLATION IN THAT GROUP. BUT OVERSIZE VEHICLES HAS NUMEROUS DIFFERENT VIOLATIONS. WE WRITE IN THAT GROUP. IN 2021, 16,000 TICKETS. YOU SEE, THE NUMBER ONE WAS PARKED ON SIDEWALK AT 7300.

AND IT WAS WELL ABOVE ALL THE REST. AND REMEMBER, IN 2020, WE GAVE SIX MONTHS WORTH OF WARNINGS BEFORE WE WROTE TICKETS. SO THAT'S EXPLAINING THOSE NUMBERS THERE. 20, 22, 16,000, 2023 WE DROPPED TO 10,000 2024 WE ARE AT 4400. SO WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD THIS YEAR. AND YOU WELCOME TO LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS. EMAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS. CALL ME I DON'T MIND WALKING YOU THROUGH THE NUMBERS. IF YOU WANT SPECIFIC NUMBERS FOR YOUR COUNCIL DISTRICT I CAN HELP WITH THAT TOO. BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL A FEEL FOR WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

[00:20:02]

SO CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT FOR ME? I'M NOT SURE. CAN I GET SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS PARTICULAR JUST BECAUSE I WAS HERE AND HEE WA'T AT THE TIME THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED, IT WAS BASED WHEN MIKE BETZ OBVIOUSLY WAS THE CITY MARSHAL, AND WE WERE. AND WHEN Y'ALL WERE

[00:25:02]

YOU KNOW YOU GOT REAR ENTRY DRIVEWAYS. SO THEY JUST GO OUT. AND WHEN YOU GET A COMPLAINT ON THE BASIS THEY TARGET IT AND THEY GO OUT, FIND THE LOCATION, DO THE ENFORCEMENT AS NECESSARY.

IS THAT THE WAY IT HAPPENS? YES OKAY. OKAY. THAT'S WHY I'VE EXPLAINED IT NOW. I WANTED TO HEAR YOU, ECHO THAT. YES I'VE. I'VE KEPT THIS COMPLAINT DRIVEN MODEL IN A PLACE SINCE I TOOK OVER. I WANT US GOING TO WHERE THE COMPLAINTS ARE, AND THEN I WANT US EXPANDING FROM THERE WHILE WE'RE THERE. AS TIME ALLOWS. SO THAT'S HOW WE DO THAT. OKAY. AND MY LAST QUESTION . OVERSIZE, OVERSIZE VEHICLES. I'M GETTING INCREASING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT 18 WHEELERS.

EITHER EITHER THE CAB AND THE TRAILER OR ONE OR BOTH IN NEIGHBORHOODS. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS JUST IT'S MORE OF A I'M ASKING YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS. AGAIN ON OUR MAJOR CORRIDORS LEADING INTO NEIGHBORHOODS, A MAJOR STREETS THAT'S AROUND NEIGHBORHOODS YOU TURN OFF OF, LET'S SAY YOU TURN OFF OATES INTO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. OR IF YOU'RE ON AN OFF SIDE, YOU TURN OFF BRAND ROADS AND A MAJOR CORRIDORS. ANY THOUGHTS ON HAVING SOME SIGNAGE LEADING INTO NEIGHBORHOODS? AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ON EVERY CORNER. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ON EVERY STREET, BUT I'VE SEEN THIS IN OTHER CITIES, CERTAIN VEHICLES ARE NOT NOT ALLOWED. AND THEY, THEY ARE USUALLY PLACED ON THE PERIMETERS OF NEIGHBORHOODS, ON MAJOR THOROUGHFARES, MAJOR STREETS, ANY, ANY, ANY, ANY THOUGHTS. BECAUSE I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, LA PRADA THAT LEADS INTO SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT'S A MAIN DRAG. OATES IS A MAIN DRAG. CENTERVILLE IS A MAIN DRAG. AND USUALLY WHEN I GET THE COMPLAINTS THERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY'RE ALREADY THERE. OKAY. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I'VE EVEN HAD THE NERVE TO AT LEAST TALK TO A GUY ABOUT IT.

AND HEAID, I DIDN'T KNOW, YOU KNOW. SO ANY THOUGHTS ON DO YOU THINK IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD OR PUTTING ANY KIND OF SIGNAGE ON THE PERIMETERS, THOSE CORRIDORS LEADING INTO NEIGHBORHOODS SO THAT PEOPLE ARE INFORMED? WELL, YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT KIND OF VEHICLE INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT, MR. RHODEN? I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD HELP. I THINK THESE FOLKS THAT DRIVE THE BIG 18 WHEELER TRACTORS, I THINK THEY LEARN THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN CERTAIN AREAS, I'VE WORKED ALONG OFFICER ALONGSIDE OFFICER CROCKETT FOR YEARS, AND I THINK HE WOULD TELL YOU THAT ALL THE SIGNS SAYING NO TRUCK ROUTE DOESN'T. WELL, I KNOW IF THEY SEE OFFICER CRACKING, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME IN. THEY'RE GOING TO DRIVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

[00:30:03]

BUT ANYWAY, YOU KNOW, ABSENT OFFICER CROCKETT, DO YOU THINK DO YOU THINK THAT ANYTHING AS RELATES TO SIGNAGE WOULD DO ANY, ANY GOOD? THAT'S MY QUESTION. IT WILL HELP SOME POSSIBLY. THAT WOULD BE MY ANSWER. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, COUNCILMAN, THAT PEOPLE DON'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO SIGNS, I HAD A TRAILER THAT WAS, CHAINED TO A NO PARKING SIGN HERE RECENTLY. OKAY, OKAY.

SO MY THOUGHTS ON SIGNS IS, I DON'T KNOW, THEY DO A WHOLE LOT OF GOOD FOR US. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ONE SPECIFICALLY WOULD HELP AS MUCH. I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THOSE TRUCKS ARE EDUCATED IN, IN THE WAYS OF THEIR INDUSTRY, AND THEY KNOW BETTER. AND WHAT'S THE FINE? TELL ME AGAIN, WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE FINE CITATIONS ON THOSE LARGER VEHICLES? $75 FOR YOUR FIRST OFFENSE. OKAY. AND AT WHAT POINT WOULD THAT VEHICLE BE TOWED AWAY? IT COULD BE TOWED AWAY IF THEY REACHED FIVE UNPAID TICKETS IN A 12 MONTH PERIOD AFTER THEIR HEARING DATES HAVE PASSED AND THEY WERE FOUND LIABLE. OKAY ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU MAYOR. VERY GOOD. COUNCILMEMBER LUCK. HI. HEY, SO I, I ALSO GET QUITE A FEW CALLS ABOUT PARKING ON AN IMPROVED SURFACES. SO, I THINK THE MAJORITY OF THE OFFENDERS ARE THERE ON SUNDAY, WHICH IS THE ONE DAY THAT YOU GUYS DON'T WORK. IS THAT CORRECT, NO. CURRENTLY WE. I SHOULD HAVE GONE OVER THAT IN THE POWERPOINT. MY APOLOGIES. WE HAVE TWO DEPUTIES ASSIGNED TO PARKING IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING. ON THE WEEKENDS, IT DROPS TO ONE, BUT SOMEONE IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING, EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK, AS LONG AS WE'RE FULLY STAFFED AND EVERYTHING'S GOING ALONG LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO, THAT'S HOW THAT'S SET UP. SO WE HAVE TWO THAT COME IN REAL EARLY. SIX IS SEVEN ISH AND WORK THEIR SHIFT, AND THEN WE HAVE TWO MORE DURING THE WEEK THAT COME IN TEN ISH, 12 ISH AND WORK INTO THE EVENING. WONDERFUL. WELL I WILL TELL THEM TO START CALLING THEN, PLEASE. THANKS YOU'RE WELCOME. AND COUNCILOR HEDRICK, THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. AND I HAVE ONE QUESTION I FREQUENTLY GET IS DO YOU GUYS ENFORCE EXPIRED PAPER TAGS ON CARS? I KNOW IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ON OUR ORDINANCE, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT, ALONG WITH THE EXPIRED REGISTRATION, PEOPLE COMPLAIN TO ME ABOUT, WE ARE ENFORCING EXPIRED REGISTRATION FOR VEHICLES PARKED ON THE ROADWAY WHERE THEIR EXPIRATION IS OUT MORE THAN 30 DAYS, SO THEIR REGISTRATIONS EXPIRE 90 DAYS MORE THAN 90 DAYS. THEN WE ARE WRITING TICKETS FOR THOSE. AND YOU SAW THAT WE WRITE A LOT OF TICKETSOR THOSE THE SAME AS THE REGISTRATION. WE WOULD TREAT THE PAPER ONE AND THE, THE REGULAR REGISTRATION THE SAME IF IT'S IF THEY HAVE IF THEY'RE DISPLAYING A PAPER TEMPORARY TAG THAT SAID IT EXPIRED 91 DAYS AGO, WE'RE GOING TO WRITE THEM A TICKET. IF THEY LEAVE THEIR VEHICLE PARKED ON THE ROADWAY.

RIGHT. IT'S GOOD TO HEAR. THANK YOU. MAYOR OKAY. AND DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM MOORE, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. WELL, I JUST WANT TO, SAY THAT I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE THE NUMBERS DECREASING THE WAY THAT THEY ARE FROM 2023 TO 2024. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT THERE. AND I ALSO LIKE THE IDEA OF THE STRATEGY OF COMPLAINT DRIVEN. I KNOW AS I TOUR MY DISTRICT, I DO SEE FROM TIME TO TIME, PARK, CARS THAT ARE PARKED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. BUT I DO FEEL THAT OFTEN TIMES THEY ARE PARKED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, BUT THEY'RE NOT CAUSING ANY REAL PROBLEMS. SO THE COMPLAINT DRIVEN ASPECT OF YOUR STRATEGY, I THINK, SEEMS TO BE WORKING. ALSO, I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE NUMBERS FOR ANOTHER YEAR. AND THEN IF THEY CONTINUE TO DROP THE WAY THAT THEY ARE, I THINK YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. SO VERY MUCH, SIR. THANK YOU SIR. VERY GOOD, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I SEE NONE, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM EIGHT

[8. 2024-2025 CDBG, HOME and ESG Federal Grant Allocation]

THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WE'RE HERE AGAIN. WE'RE HERE AGAIN FOR YOU GUYS TO MAKE ALL THE HARD DECISIONS, FIRST OFF, I WANT TO SAY SECOND YEAR IN A ROW FULL PARTICIPATION. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I MEANT TO BRING YOU CANDY, BUT I FORGOT. I'LL BRING THEM THE NEXT TIME.

OOPS. WE'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR OUR WORK SESSION. I HAVE ALL THE NUMBERS. AVERAGED A LITTLE PIECE

[00:35:05]

SALVATION ARMY 17,001 44. AND THEN THE LAST TWO, THEY'RE UNDER THE $5,000 MINIMUM, BUT THEY'RE CLOSE. IT'S UP TO COUNCIL WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO REALLOCATE THOSE OR NOT, OR LEAVE THEM AS IS FOR RESTORATION SUMMER CAMP. IT'S $44,750. AND THEN THE ORAL HEALTH DENTAL OUTREACH IS $4,623. SO WE HAD A NEW TOTAL OF $310,575 TO ALLOCATE. AND THAT'S WHAT THOSE NUMBERS COME OUT TO. SO I'LL LET YOU GUYS LOOK AT THAT AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES TO ANY OF THOSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MADE. OKAY. VERY GOOD. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO ONE. YES I DO, COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK THANK YOU. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE COUNCIL BUMP UP RESTORATION CHURCH. THEY CAME OUT TO US, MADE A PRESENTATION. SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE ASKED FOR MONEY.

DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO COME TALK TO US. WHICH I FEEL IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR MONEY, I THINK YOU SHOULD AT LEAST COME AND SPEAK WITH US AND PROVIDE YOUR PRESENTATION AT RESTORATION CHURCH. THEY DID GOOD WORK THE PREVIOUS YEAR WITH THE MONEY AND I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM BUMPED UP IF POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND TO THAT POINT. POINT IS THERE. WELL, IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CHART, AREE BRINGING THEM UP TO THE MINIMUM OR. I MEAN, BECAUSE THAT'S HONESTLY NOT THAT MUCH. I MEAN, RIGHT. I MEAN, THE SALVATION DIDN'T COME OUT TO SPEAK WITH US. WE COULD TAKE SOME MONEY FROM THERE. THE DENTAL OUTREACH DIDN'T COME SPEAK TO US AS WELL. SO I'M FINE. TAKE IT FROM EITHER ONE OF THOSE. OKAY ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR, LET'S SEE HERE, COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THE, SENIOR CITIZEN OF GREATER DALLAS, OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM. I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM GO UP TO THE CAP THAT I KNOW IT'S NOT MUCH, THEY'RE THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT UNDER. I KNOW IT'S ONLY. NO, WAIT A MINUTE. I'M SEEING A GLARE THERE AT 1582. YEAH. OKAY OKAY. YEAH. OKAY WHAT IS JETSUN MANA? IF WE MADE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THEM TO THAT THAT ONE RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T HAVE WE'VE GOT TAKE FROM SOMEPLACE ELSE. RIGHT? RIGHT. OKAY YEAH. IF WE. BUT THEY'RE WHAT WAS THEIR ASK. YEAH. RIGHT. YEAH. THAT WAS MY NEXT. WHAT WHAT DID THEY ASK FOR? THE UN'S BUSMAN'S PROGRAM. WHAT DID THEY ASK FOR, USUALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE THAN THAT.T. 22,000. THEIR ASK WAS 22, BUT OKAY. OR 20. BUT HONESTLY,

[00:40:08]

THOUSAND RIGHT. I KNEW IT WAS. I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT INCREASE, BUT I DON'T. I HAVEN'T LANDED ON WHO I'D LIKE TO. WHO I'D LIKE TO SEE. TAKE THAT FROM. I THINK THAT'S. SO I GUESS I'LL LANDED.

WHAT WHAT YOU'VE GOT ON THE SCREEN. BECAUSE I DON'T SEE. I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN COUNCILMAN HEDRICK ABOUT RESTORATION CHURCH, THEY'VE BEEN DOWN SEVERAL TIMES AND MADE PRESENTATIONS TO US AND THAT THAT THAT TELLS US SOMETHING. IF YOU CAN SHARE. I KNOW YOU SAID WE HAD A REDUCTION IN THE HUD FUNDING OF 54,000 FOR 29. YES NOT THAT IT'S GOING TO ALTER WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, BUT WHAT WAS WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE REDUCTION FROM HUD? ALL OF THE HUD FUNDING THIS YEAR ACROSS THE BOARD GOT CUT. IT'S ALLOCATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I KNOW, AND I'M ASSUMING THAT A REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT WENT TO THE OVERALL PROGRAM THROUGH THE T HUD BILL WAS REDUCED, AND THAT'S HOW THEY GOT CUT. IT WASN'T JUST US. IT WAS EVERY EVERY ALLOCATION GOT CUT THROUGH EVERY CITY. AND IF THEY USE SOMETIMES THEY DO AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THAT THEY DO. YOU DO YOU KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY USE THE SAME FORMULA IN CUTTING EVERYBODY OR NOT? THEY USED THE SAME FORMULA FOR EVERYBODY. SO, SINCE IT WAS CUT ACROSS THE BOARD BY CONGRESS, THAT CUT ALL THE ALLOCATIONS TO ALL THE CITIES AND STATES. OKAY.

AND LASTLY, THIS ORAL DENTAL, ORAL, DENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH, DID THEY MAKE A PRESENTATION TO US AT. I DON'T THINK. NO SIR. THEY HAVEN'T MADE ANY PRESENTATIONS AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY CONTACT. THEY'RE AN OUT OF STATE ENTITY. WELL I THOUGHT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY, ANY CARVING ROOM BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE FUNDS REDISTRIBUTED BETWEEN THE, THE GREATER CITIZENS OF THE SENIOR CITIZENS OF GREATER DALLAS UNOFFICIAL PROGRAM AND THE HOPE CLINIC THAT LINE ITEM.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. IF WE COULD. WELL, WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE FOLKS IN THE QUEUE. WE'LL SEE. OKAY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR, COUNSELOR. LOOK, I TRIED TO LOOK UP ORAL HEALTH, DENTAL OUTREACH. IT'S OUT OF NEW JERSEY. IS THAT CORRECT, MA'AM? OKAY. YEAH. I COULDN'T FIND MUCH ABOUT THEM AT ALL. SO I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN HEDRICK. I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE THE FUNDS FROM THERE, PUT THEM AT RESTORATION CHURCH AND BE DONE WITH IT. THAT'S ONE THOUGHT. DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER THOUGHTS? NO, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. RIGHT. COUNSELOR DUTTON, IF WE WERE TO DO THE JUNE WORK SESSION ON THIS, WHAT WOULD THAT ENTAIL? WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR, WE WOULD BASICALLY BE DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW OF DECIDING.

SPLIT IT TWO WAYS, THREE WAYS. MOVE IT HERE. I MEAN, IT'S REALLY WOULD JUST BE A CONTINUATION OF, OF THE DISCUSSION WE'RE HAVING TONIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. BUT THERE WON'T BE ANY ADDITIONAL PRESENTATIONS BY SOME OF THE GROUPS THAT DIDN'T BY SOME OF THE GROUPS THAT DIDN'T PRESENT THAT, THAT IT'LL JUST BE US DISCUSSING FRACTIONS AND DIVISION, I WOULD LIKE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WORK SESSION PERSONALLY. AFTER EVERYONE'S KIND OF BROUGHT SOME DIFFERENT THINGS TO LIGHT AND KNOWING THAT THERE'S A LARGER CHUNK THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE, I FEEL LIKE THAT MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL. LET'S SEE WHERE IT HAPPENS.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S IT. OKAY. I WAS LIKE, I WAS ABOUT TO . COUNCILWOMAN WILLIAMS, YOU'RE BACK IN THE QUEUE. OH, I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE THAT WAS ME. YOU KNOW? ALL RIGHT. OH, YES. OKAY YEAH. OKAY, I'LL GO AHEAD. LET ME GO AHEAD, COUNSELOR WILLIAMS. LET ME FINISH. LET ME FINISH UP.

I'LL GO BACK TO MY INITIAL RECOMMENDATION OF ON THE FUNDS FOR THAT OLD DENTAL HEALTH. I THINK THEY ASKED BOTH OF THOSE. AND I'M THINKING, LISTENING AT PRESENTATIONS, BOTH ORGANIZATIONS, THE, GOING BACK TO THE SENIOR CITIZENS, THE OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM AND OAK CLINIC AND I'M THINKING IMPACT AND SERVICE, SCOPE OF SERVICE. THAT'S WHY I STRONGLY RECOMMEND

[00:45:08]

AND THEN WE COULD MAYBE ALLOCATE SOME FUNDS TO SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS THERE THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING CONCERNS WITH. SO JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR. SO THE TRANSCEND STEM, THEY ARE FUNDED. RIGHT.

BUT IS THAT BUT THIS IS THIS MONEY. DO WE KNOW IF THIS PARTICULAR THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING IS GOING TO A SPECIFIC PROGRAM OR IS IT A GENERALIZED ASK FROM FROM THEIR OTHER FROM THEIR OTHER FUNDING TO THIS FUNDING? ARE THERE ARE THESE TWO SEPARATE THINGS? THEY'RE WANTING TO DO OR IS IT ALL GOING TO THE SAME SPOT, SAME TIME? IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME PROGRAM. OKAY. AS I SAID, IF THEY HAD SOMETHING EARMARKED ESSENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, NECESSARILY FOR THEY'RE DOING THE SAME BASICALLY THE SAME ACTIVITIES UNDER ESG. OKAY. AS WELL AS CDBG AND WANT TO EARN THAT. THAT'S THE REASON THAT I SAID, OKAY. THE FUNDING AT THAT POINT WERE ALREADY HURTING IN THE WAY OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE AND WHAT WE'VE LEARNED HERE TONIGHT, THAT THEY'VE ALSO TAKEN FUNDS AWAY FROM WHAT WE THOUGHT WERE ALLOCATED. AND SO I'M JUST SAYING THAT IF, IN FACT, THEY ARE FUNDED PRESENTLY, IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO FUND THEM TWICE WHEN ALL THESE OTHER PROGRAMS ARE HERE IN NEED. THAT'S AS REASONABLE AS ANYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN SAID. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. ALL RIGHT. AND MAYOR PRO TEM BASS, THANK YOU. SO ACTUALLY, MY REMARKS ARE GOING TO ECHO QUITE A BIT WHAT ED JUST SAID. SO, I'VE GOT THE SPREADSHEET PULLED UP HERE, AND WHAT I'M DOING IS COMPARING, NOT NECESSARILY JUST ASK, BUT WHAT THEY RECEIVED LAST YEAR COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE LISTED UNDER THE FINAL ALLOCATION HERE. AND YOU KNOW, QUITE A FEW OF THEM ARE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN WHAT THEY RECEIVED LAST YEAR, SOME THOSE THAT STAND OUT THAT, THAT ARE NOT, THAT ARE OF, OF CARE TO ME ARE HOPE CLINIC AND THE ACHIEVEMENT CENTER, I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO SEE THE CENTER TRANSCEND STEM IS, FUNDED ELSEWHERE BY THE CITY AND ORAL HEALTH DENTAL IS A IT'S AN OUT, NOT EVEN LOCAL PROGRAM, SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE FUNDS FROM THE TRANSCEND STEM AND FROM ORAL HEALTH DENTAL REDISTRIBUTED TO HOPE. HOPE CLINIC AND TO THE ACHIEVEMENT CENTER. THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNSELOR LUCK, MAYOR PRO TEM BASS, WOULD THAT NOT MAKE THE RESTORATION CHURCH SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM UNFUNDED? OR DO YOU MEAN REDISTRIBUTING BETWEEN THOSE THREE ENTITIES AS. WELL, I THINK YEAH. I MEAN, I'M. I SKIPPED RIGHT OVER THAT. YEAH.

THE RESTORATION CHURCH. I THINK WE SHOULD BRING THAT UP AT LEAST TO THE MINIMUM. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, LET ME SEE IF I'VE GOT. SO IF WE , IF WE REALLOCATE, THE ORAL HEALTH DENTAL OUTREACH AND THE TRANSCEND, LET'S SAY WE'VE GOT ABOUT 20 VK GIVE OR TAKE. I

[00:50:03]

WITH THOSE ITEMS REMOVED. SO THE. YEAH, IF YOU'RE HIGHER BASED ON THEIR SCORE THAT THEY ARE GIVEN THE PRORATED THE RIGHT RIGHT, THE PRORATED. SO YOU TAKE OUT THE ONES WE'RE REMOVING, YOU HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF FUNDS LEFT. YOU TAKE THE TOTAL OF ALL THOSE. AND THEN YOU HAVE A PERCENTAGE OF THAT TOTAL GIVEN SPREAD EVENLY. SO THEN IF YOU'RE HIGHER ASKING A LITTLE MORE, YOUR PROGRAM NEEDS A LITTLE MORE MONEY. AND THEN THE LESSER ONES DON'T GET AS MUCH. BUT I CAN PROVIDE THE THAT SEEMS AGAIN AS, AS LOGICAL A SYSTEM. I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S HOW THE PROGRAMS ARE WEIGHTED TOWARDS THAT ANYWAY. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT, I DON'T KNOW THAT I COULD EVER EXPLAIN THAT, BUT, GET YOU A SPREADSHEET. NO THANK YOU. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS, ONE MORE TIME. OKAY, OKAY. ONE MORE TIME, I, I MEAN, I, I CAN TRAVEL WITH THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT MY PREFERENCE, I THINK. WAS IT COUNCILMAN, BASS TALKED ABOUT TAKING THAT THE PROGRAMS THAT HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE OLD DENTAL CLINIC AND THE TRANSTERM AND THE MAYOR SAYS WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 20 AND SPLITTING THAT BETWEEN THE OTHER THREE THAT THAT HE MENTIONED AND I MENTIONED. AND THAT'S, THAT THAT WAS THAT WAS HOPE, US BUSSMANN AND WHAT WAS THE THIRD ONE? ACHIEVEMENT CENTER. ACHIEVEMENT CENTER? THAT'S THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE IT'S SPLITTING IT. I MEAN, DIVIDING IT AMONG AMONG EVERYBODY. I MEAN, SURE, IT'S THE SAME PIE, BUT THEY IT'S NOT MUCH, BUT THE SLICES ARE THINNER. THE MORE TIMES YOU MORE TIMES YOU SLICE IT, THE THINNER THE IMPACT. AND MY RECOMMENDATION IS I'M LOOKING AT AGAIN GOING BACK TO THE PRESENTATION AND GOING BACK TO THE ASK, GOING BACK TO THE TO THE IMPACT OF THE ORGANIZATIONS. THAT'S WHY I SUPPORT SPLITTING IT, AMONG THOSE ORGANIZATIONS RATHER THAN ACROSS THE BOARD, BECAUSE I'M VERY INTERESTED IN AND, AND MAKE IT WHICH OF THE ACTIONS WOULD MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT. AND I THINK I THINK SPLITTING IT AMONG THOSE ORGANIZATIONS RATHER THAN ACROSS THE ENTIRE, HEMISPHERE TO ME, WOULD MAKE A GREATER IMPACT. SO THANK YOU, MAYOR. LET'S SEE HERE. MAYOR PRO TEM BASS, THANK YOU. MAYOR, AND ACTUALLY, BJ HIT IT THERE WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT IMPACT. AND SO ONE THING I MENTIONED BEFORE WAS THAT SOME

[00:55:05]

LAST ONE. SORRY IT'S SO GOOD. ON THE SENIOR CENTER, I OPENED AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE PAGE. ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT DO WE GOT, THEY'RE GOING TO BE RECEIVING ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT. IT'S GOING TO BE AROUND $10,000 IN STREET OUTREACH. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT LESS BECAUSE IT'S A LESS IN ESG FUNDING. BUT THEY'RE DOING THE SAME THING IN BOTH PROGRAMS. OKAY. SO I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT, THAT WOULD CHANGE YOUR OPINION OF, FUNDING THEM FROM THIS PROGRAM SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO GET A MINOR $10,000 IN ANOTHER PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF BENEFIT. LOCALLY AND I'M JUST GOING TO I'M GOING TO BE THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE. AND THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO COME ACROSS VERY UGLY, AND I DEFINITELY DO NOT INTEND IT TO BE. BUT I VERY I STRUGGLE VERY DEEPLY WITH THE HOPES CLINIC GIVING THEM $70,000. AND THAT'S I MEAN, THAT'S A LARGE CHUNK OF MONEY AND SO DO WE BY CHANCE TO KNOW WHAT WE GAVE THEM LAST YEAR? HOPES CLINIC, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK. IT WAS OVER THE. IT WAS MORE THAN THAT. WE HAD 84, I BELIEVE THEY GOT AROUND 84,000 LAST YEAR. SOUNDS RIGHT. I HAVE IT LITERALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I JUST, I'M NOT THE BRIGHTEST CRAYON IN THE BOX. YEAH, IT SAYS 86,000. YEAH, I JUST, I DON'T I FEEL SOME TYPE OF WAY ABOUT GIVING, GIVING ONE MORE MONEY. YEAH I MEAN, THEY'RE ALREADY GETTING A LARGE CHUNK OF OUR MONEY OR OUT OF THIS MONEY. ANYWAY, AND THEN JUST COMPLETELY RIPPING IT AWAY FROM SOMEONE ELSE. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST DON'T FEEL THE BEST ABOUT IT. OKAY. I WAS GOING FOR MEMORY, BUT I FOUND THE ACTUAL NUMBER, SO THIS MIGHT HELP SOME. THROUGH THE EMERGENCY. HANG ON. TRANSDERM TRANSITIONAL SHELTER MONEY. THEY'RE GETTING 22,009 19 IN ESG . WHO IS? I'M SORRY. IN STEM. OKAY. TRANS I'M LIKE, WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE? OKAY.

TRANSCEND STEM IS GETTING 22,000. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING 22,009 19 OKAY. FOR THE 2.5% CUT. CORRECT. OR IS THAT AFTER THAT'S BEFORE. BUT 2% OF THAT'S COMING OFF. OKAY. SO ABOUT 20,000. I KNOW YOU GUYS DID A LOT OF WORK, LIKE COLLABORATIVELY HELPING THEM GET PEOPLE INTO HOUSING AND STUFF. AND IT SAYS THAT THIS ISN'T THEIRS IS A NEW APPLICATION. IS

[01:00:06]

I MEAN, I'M FINE WITH WHATEVER. YOU KNOW, I THINK BASING IT OFF HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, LIKE. YEAH I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING WE'RE GOING TO GET TO. YEAH. SO I THINK OPTION ONE REDISTRIBUTE BASED ON THEIR REVIEW SCORES. OKAY. AND THAT WILL MOST LIKELY THAT WILL GET RESTORATION ON ABOVE SOMEWHERE SLIGHTLY ABOVE IF MAYBE NOT RIGHT AT T THE 5000 MINIMUM. OKAY SECOND OPTION IS AGAIN, TAKE THE ORAL HEALTH AND TRANSCEND OUT OF THE MIX. TAKE THAT MONEY, BRING RESTORATION DOWN TO THE FIVE. BRING THEM TO THE MINIMUM, AND THEN REDISTRIBUTING THE REMAINING FUNDS BETWEEN THE THREE PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED HERE, THE OMBUDSMAN AND HOPE AND ACHIEVEMENT. JUST SO WE CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE THE APPLES AND THE ORANGES ARE FALLING, WE CAN COME BACK ON. I THINK IT'S WHAT IT WAS AT THE SEVENTH, I THINK, IS THE DATE I SAW SOMEWHERE COME BACK ON THE 17TH. LOOK AT THOSE TWO SIDE BY SIDE. BECAUSE HONESTLY, THE DIFFERENCES ARE GOING TO BE FRACTIONAL, FOR SOME OF THESE. BUT, AND THEN WE CAN, WE CAN LOOK AT HOW THOSE TWO SHAKE OUT. AND I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO ALSO FIND IS THE RFP SCORE ON THE THREE THAT

[01:05:05]

THEY LIKE THE PEOPLE, THEY HAVE GOOD INTERACTION WITH STAFF AND WITH COUNCIL. AND IT'S JUST A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL OF THESE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND MAYOR, I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT NOT SO MUCH FOR US, BUT FOR OUR PUBLIC TO HEAR WHAT YOU'VE JUST JUST JUST SAID.

THANK YOU MAYOR. VERY GOOD. AND ALL OF THESE GROUPS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR SIZE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS OR WHATEVER, THEY THEY ALL DO, GREAT WORK HERE IN THE CITY. AND JUST FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, THE SALVATION ARMY, FOLKS WERE NOT THE SAME NIGHT WE HAD OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS. THEY ALSO HAD TO BE OVER IN ROWLETT AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR THAT IS WHY THEY WEREN'T HERE THAT PARTICULAR NIGHT FOR WHATEVER THAT'S WORTH. SO WE WILL SEE YOU ON THE 17TH. ALL RIGHT. THANK

[9. Development Services Committee Report]

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING, THAT ITEM. HANG ON, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM MOORE. YES, I JUST HAVE ONE, MR. MAYOR, YOU'VE ALREADY STATED THAT THE STATE HAS, SEVERAL LAWS IN PLACE AS A RESULT OF THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT. I'M JUST WONDERING, WOULD WE BE IN VIOLATION AT ALL UNDER THE DEATH STAR, LAW WOULD BE WE'D BE IN VIOLATION OF ALL OF TRYING TO DO ANYTHING TO, ASSIST IT OR TO PREEMPT IT. THESE LAWS ARE IN PLACE, BUT IT'S I BELIEVE IT'S UP TO US TO ENFORCE THEM, REGARDING THE DEATH STAR LAW, I'M NOT EXACTLY CERTAIN. THE WAY THAT I. THE WAY THAT I RECALL IT WAS SUCH THAT THE STATE DOESN'T WANT MUNICIPAL IS DEALING WITH LAWS THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY PUT INTO, PUT INTO SERVICE. SO, SO IS THAT CITY ATTORNEY? YES. COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK IS RIGHT. WE CAN ENFORCE STATE LAW. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT HE'S JUST ASKING US TO DO IS, IS DO A BETTER JOB ENFORCING STATE LAW. IT CANNOT BE THE MARSHALLS BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED TRADITIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE MARSHALS BECAUSE WE'RE A CIVIL SERVICE CITY AND THEY ARE NOT A CIVIL SERVICE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. THEY CAN'T ENFORCE TRADITIONAL CRIMINAL LAW WITHIN THE STATE. THEY CAN ONLY DO NONTRADITIONAL POLICE WORK LIKE PARKING ENFORCEMENT AND BAILIFF WORK AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. SO BUT YES, WE CAN CERTAINLY, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND EVEN CODE ENFORCEMENT, QUITE FRANKLY, COULD, ENFORCE, ENFORCE. RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. IT ULTIMATELY CAME DOWN TO RESOURCES. DO WE WANT OUR POLICE OFFICERS WORKING ON SALES OF TOBACCO OR WE WANT THEM ON OTHER THINGS? AND IT MAY BE A THING FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT.

INDEED. YEAH, I'D RATHER HAVE POLICE ON THE STREET CATCHING BAD GUYS THAN ENFORCING ADVERTISING. BUT YEAH, IT'S JUST ONE ITEM THAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED THAT POSSIBLY COULD HAVE AN EFFECT THAT WE COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SECOND ITEM WAS REVIEWING THE ZONING REGULATIONS SURROUNDING DRONE DELIVERY BASES . THIS IS AN ITEM THAT THE CITY OF PLANO RECENTLY ADDED TO THEIR ZONING REQUIREMENTS. AND WE HAD SOME INTERESTING, INTERESTING DISCUSSION ABOUT DRONES AND WHERE THEY CAN LAND AND HOW THE FAA BECOMES INVOLVED AND DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. BUT ULTIMATELY, WE, THE MR. ENGLAND, ADVISED US THERE'S NOTHING IN OUR EXISTING ZONING CODE THAT PREVENTS A DRONE BASE OR DRONE DELIVERY SERVICE FROM HAPPENING.

IT CAN BE A SECONDARY USE IN OUR EXISTING ZONING, SO THERE'S NO ACTION THAT WE NEED TO TAKE AT THIS TIME. SO IF YOU WANT YOUR LUNCH DELIVERED BY DRONE, COME TO GARLAND, PLEASE. YEAH ALL RIGHT. I DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE QUEUE ON THAT NOTE, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.

OKAY, BRING THEM ON. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM T. CITY MANAGER PREVIEW OF THE JUNE 29TH

AND SO AGAIN, LOOK FOR A SURVEY HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. THAT WE THAT WILL HELP GUIDE US, PRIORITIZING EACH OF THESE TEN AREAS IN PREPARATION FOR THE BUDGET, WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR OUR DEPARTMENTS THIS YEAR, WE ASKED THEM TO CATEGORIZE THEIR BUDGET REQUESTS INTO ONE OF THESE TEN AREAS. AND SO AS COUNCIL STARTS TO RANK THESE, THAT WILL HELP GIVE ME SOME DIRECTION ON HOW WE ALLOCATE AVAILABLE FUNDS TO THOSE BUDGET REQUESTS MOVING FORWARD. SO THAT'S HOW THAT WILL PLAY OUT, I ALSO WANTED TO VISIT ABOUT THE CITY'S MISSION AND VISION STATEMENT AND OUR VALUE STATEMENT, WHICH YOU SEE UP HERE. SO THIS THIS GRAPHIC THAT YOU SEE HERE, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH IT. IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT A DECADE AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL SEE POSTED IN DEPARTMENTS, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REFERENCE AS A
