          TEXT MICHAEL J BETTS, CITY MANAGER, TEXT DYLAN HEDRICK. 
          MAYOR, WE HAVE A LONG AGENDA TONIGHT, SO LET'S GET TO IT. 
          FIRST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS PUBLIC COMMENTS ON WORK SESSION ITEMS. MADAM SECRETARY, WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS SIGNED UP TONIGHT? YES, SIR. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL FIRST SPEAKER DAVID MOORHEAD. 
          MR. DAVID MOORHEAD. 
          ALL RIGHT, SIR. 
          NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. 
          AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES AND JUST PLEASE TELL US WHAT ITEM YOU'RE ADDRESSING AS WELL. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN ON A MAN WITH A BEARD WEARING A DARK COLLARED SHIRT SEATED AT THE TABLE. 
          HE HAS A LAPTOP IN FRONT OF HIM AND TWO MICROPHONES ON THE TABLE. 
          HE LOOKS DOWN AT HIS HANDS, WHICH ARE CLASPED ON THE TABLE. 
          I LIVE IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT SIX AND I AM HERE AS AN APPLICANT FOR THE DART BOARD. 
          I AM AN EXPERIENCED WITH DART IN USING PARATRANSIT AS WELL AS REGULAR SERVICES. 
          A MAN WITH GRAY HAIR IS AT THE TABLE. 
          A PHONE LIKE DEVICE IS ALSO ON THE TABLE. 
          A LARGE LIGHT BLUE SCREEN IS VISIBLE IN THE BACKGROUND AND I AM AWARE THAT THEIR PARATRANSIT SERVICES ARE NOT RUN, AT LEAST NOT AS THE, UM, SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES NOT RUN AS A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE. 
          IT IS JUST DUMP THEM INTO THE REGULAR, UM, ROTATION AND GROSS INEFFICIENCIES OF OPERATION TAKE PLACE. 
          THIS IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE REST OF DART IN THEIR OPERATIONS AS HAVING LOTS OF GROSS INEFFICIENCIES IN OPERATION. 
          AND THIS WE WOULD LIKE TO CORRECT DAVID MOORHEAD. 
          A MAN WITH A BEARD SITS AT THE TABLE, HIS HANDS CLASPED A SILVER LAPTOP AND TWO MICROPHONES ARE ON THE TABLE IN FRONT OF HIM. 
          HE LOOKS FORWARD. 
          I BELIEVE THE GREATEST PROBLEM WITH DART IS A CULTURE OF IMPEDIMENT TO AND RESISTANCE TO CHANGE AND INTERNAL CHALLENGE. 
          AND THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED IN ORDER TO FACILITATE ANY OTHER CHANGES WE WISH TO MAKE. 
          SO IT WILL BE IN QUITE A CHALLENGE. 
          THERE ARE GONNA BE TIMES WHEN GARLAND'S NEEDS MAY BE IN CONFLICT WITH OTHER CITIES. 
          WELL, THIS IS WHERE NEGOTIATION TAKES PLACE. 
          WE MUST NEGOTIATE BECAUSE GARLAND'S NEEDS MUST BE PRESENTED, BUT THEN AGAIN, IT MUST BE IN CONTEXT OF THE GREATER METROPOLITAN AREA. 
          THEREFORE, WE MUST BE CHIEF DIPLOMATS OF OUR OWN, OUR OWN AGENDAS AND WORK WITH OTHER CITIES. 
          LIKE FOR ONE THING, I WOULD LIKE TO FIND A GO LINK ZONE THAT WOULD TAKE THAT BE FROM THE RED LINE TO THE BLUE LINE THAT, UM, WOULD INCORPORATE WESTERN GARLAND AND EASTERN RICHARDSON INTO ONE ZONE. 
          THERE'D BE A LOT OF BENEFIT FOR THIS. 
          I WOULD ENJOY IT, BUT NOT FOR MYSELF ALONE. 
          SO THERE ARE MANY AREAS IN WHICH DART NEEDS TO IMPROVE AND I FEEL THE CALL OF DUTY TO COME IN AND DO MY PART TO FACILITATE THOSE CHANGES. 
          THAT IS WHY I'M HERE TONIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          THE SCENE CHANGES TO A WIDER SHOT OF THE MEETING. 
          ROOM TWO MEN ARE SEATED AT A LONG, DARK BROWN WOODEN TABLE. 
          THE MAN ON THE LEFT WEARS A BLUE COLLARED SHIRT AND GLASSES LOOKING DOWN AT A MONITOR. 
          THE MAN ON THE RIGHT WEARS A LIGHT COLORED COLORED SHIRT AND IS LOOKING FORWARD WITH HIS HANDS CLASPED ON THE TABLE. 
          BEHIND HIM IS A WOODEN WALL WITH A LARGE CIRCULAR SEAL, THE TREE CITY OF GARLAND, TEXAS. 
          ALRIGHT, AND SECRETARY, DO YOU PLEASE CALL OUR NEXT SPEAKER, DANNY STARNS. 
          SIR, NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. 
          YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES AND PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT ITEM YOU'RE ADDRESSING AS WELL. 
          DANNY STARNS 6 5 0 9 FALLBROOK DRIVE, GARLAND, TEXAS 7 5 0 4 3. 
          DANNY STARNS, A BALD MAN AND A BLUE PATTERN POLO SHIRT IS SEATED AT A DARK WOODEN TABLE WITH A LAPTOP 
          [00:05:01]
OPEN IN FRONT OF HIM. 
          HE OPENS A BLACK BINDER, TAKES OUT A PIECE OF PAPER, LOOKS AT IT, AND THEN PLACES IT BACK IN THE BINDER BEFORE CLOSING IT. 
          HE THEN LOOKS AT HIS LAPTOP. 
          I'M ADDRESSING THE STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF FOR SACRIFICING THEIR SATURDAY ON JUNE 6TH TO WORK ON THE FUTURE OF GARLAND. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I CANNOT ATTEND IN PERSON, BUT I DID WATCH THE ENTIRE FIVE AND A HALF HOUR PRESENTATION DURING THE HOUSE AND STUDY PRESENTATION. 
          COUNCILWOMAN SEGEL BANO ASKED A CRITICAL QUESTION. 
          DANNY STARNES LOOKS DOWN AT HIS LAPTOP, A NOTEBOOK WITH HIS HANDS CLASPED IN FRONT OF HIM. 
          I'M WONDERING, WHERE DOES GREEN SPACE FALL IN THIS? THE ANSWER FROM CZ B WAS EYE-OPENING TO SAY THE LEAST. 
          THEIR MESSAGE WAS CLEAR. 
          IF GARLAND WANTS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, IT NEEDS TO RESIST THE ERRORS TO PAVE OVER EVERYTHING. 
          I AGREE. 
          THEY EVEN SUGGESTED THAT PRESERVED UNCONSUMED GREEN SPACE CAN BE LIKE A ATM MACHINE CAPABLE OF PRINTING MONEY FOR THE CITY OF GARLAND. 
          I'M GLAD TO SEE THERE HAS BEEN ADDITIONS TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO ADDRESS THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE. 
          AND INSTEAD OF LEAVING THINGS TO CHANCE, THERE ARE MEANINGFUL METRICS TO TRACK ITS IMPLEMENTATION. 
          THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN UNLESS THEY'RE DONE ON PURPOSE AND SUPPORTED BY MANAGEMENT METRICS THAT DEFINE WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE. 
          THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE FEEDBACK BOTH FROM COUNCIL AND MEMBERS OF THE CITIZENS. 
          DANNY STARNES LOOKS UP FROM HIS LAPTOP BRIEFLY SPEAKING THEN LOOKS BACK DOWN. 
          THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THINGS SHOULD WORK. 
          I SPEND NEARLY THREE DECADES IN THE FEDERAL SECTOR WORKING ON AND WITH STRATEGIC PLANS, AND I COULD SAY CONFIDENTLY THAT OVERALL THIS IS A VERY GOOD STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          IT IS WELL THOUGHT OUT, TIES KEY METRICS TO DESIRED OUTCOMES AND ALIGNS THE BUDGET TO ENSURE GARLAND IS INVESTING IN ITS FUTURE. 
          ADDING IN GREEN SPACE AS AN ECONOMIC ASSET ENHANCES THIS PLAN EVEN FURTHER. 
          I HOPE WE ALL GET BEHIND THE CITY MANAGER'S EFFORTS TO REVITALIZE GARLAND. 
          IT WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT AND NONE OF US WILL GET EVERYTHING WE WANT. 
          BUT REMEMBER, A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL SHIPS, EVEN IF OUR PARTICULAR AREA IS NOT A FOCUS AREA IN THE GARLAND ON THE RISE STRATEGIC PLAN, IMPROVING ONE AREA WILL HAVE A RIPPLE EFFECT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT IN JUST A FEW YEARS, IT MAY BE TOO LATE TO REVERSE THE DECLINE. 
          DANNY STARNS A BALD MAN WITH GLASSES AND A BLUE PATTERN SHIRT SITS AT A DARK WOODEN DESK LOOKING DOWN AT A LAPTOP IN A NOTEBOOK. 
          TWO MICROPHONES ARE ON THE DESK IN FRONT OF HIM. 
          WE MUST ACT NOW. 
          IF WE WANT TO BUILD A CITY WE CAN BE PROUD OF. 
          NO PLAN IS PERFECT, BUT THIS IS THE MOST ENCOURAGING ACTION I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS. 
          DANNY STARNES OCCASIONALLY LOOKS UP FROM HIS LAPTOP AND NOTEBOOK, THEN BACK DOWN AT HIS MATERIALS, AND I FULLY SUPPORT WHAT OUR CITY, CITY MANAGER MIKE BETS IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          FOR GARLAND TO USE A REFERENCE FOR MAYOR, MAYOR HEDRICK, I, FOR ONE, AM WILLING TO HELP NEHEMIAH BUILD THAT WALL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? THE SCENE CHANGES TO A WIDER SHOT OF A MEETING ROOM. 
          THREE PEOPLE ARE SEATED AT A LONG, DARK WOODEN TABLE. 
          BEHIND HIM IS A WOODEN WALL WITH A LARGE CIRCULAR SEAL THAT READS CITY OF GARLAND, TEXAS. 
          MICHAEL J BETS ON THE LEFT WEARS A BLUE SHIRT AND TIE. 
          ANN LOOKS AT A COMPUTER MONITOR. 
          DYLAN HEDRICK IN THE MIDDLE WEARS A LIGHT COLOR JACKET AND IS LOOKING DOWN AT PAPERS. 
          I SEE HIM. 
          THANK YOU SIR. 
          MADAM SECRETARY, PLEASE CALL OUR NEXT SPEAKER, FINAL SPEAKER. 
          CARL SMITH. 
          AN AMERICAN FLAG STANDS TO THE LEFT OF THE TABLE. 
          DYLAN HEDRICK LOOKS UP AND SMILES. 
          A WOMAN IS PARTIALLY VISIBLE ON THE FAR RIGHT. 
          CLAPPING HER HANDS. 
          TEXT MICHAEL J BETS CITY MANAGER. 
          AYE. 
          TEXT DYLAN HEDRICK MAYOR. 
          MR. CARL SMITH. 
          NOW YOU OUGHT TO KNOW MY ADDRESS SO I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU  A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY. 
          WELL, SIR, WE HAVE SOME NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, SO I'LL YEAH, NEW MEMBERS. 
          SO IF YOU JUST PLEASE I HAVEN'T HEARD IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES, HUMOR THEM AND PROVIDE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. 
          YES, YOUR HONOR. 
          CARL SMITH, A MAN WITH GLASSES AND A GRAY T-SHIRT THAT READS FD AND Y IS SEATED AT A DARK TABLE SPEAKING INTO A MICROPHONE. 
          HE HAS A LAPTOP OPEN IN FRONT OF HIM AND PAPERS TO HIS RIGHT. 
          CARL SMITH, 2216 RICH OAK DRIVE, GARLAND, TEXAS. 
          CARL SMITH GESTURES WITH HIS HANDS AS HE SPEAKS. 
          I AM ACTUALLY SPEAKING ON KIND OF SEVEN AND NINE TOGETHER. 
          UM, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT IF YOU'RE DOING A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WHEN YOU'RE DOING THINGS LIKE GIVING OUT PERMITS TO BUILD BUSINESSES, CARL SMITH LOOKS UP INTO HIS RIGHT THEN BACK DOWN AT HIS PAPERS THAT WE HAVE SOME SORT OF MECHANISM IN PLACE TO WHERE THEY DON'T BUILD A BRAND NEW BUILDING NEXT TO A TOTALLY EMPTY BUILDING. 
          CARL SMITH GESTURES WITH HIS RIGHT HAND, THEN BOTH HANDS BEFORE RESTING THEM ON THE DESK. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, THAT CHARLES'S JOB, BUT IT'S, IT'S A SHAME TO HAVE SO MANY EMPTY BUILDINGS IN THE CITY OF GARLAND AND THEN THEY GO AND TAKE AN EMPTY 
          [00:10:01]
PIECE OF LAND AND BUILD A BRAND NEW BUILDING ON IT. 
          UH, IT JUST KINDA, IT IT, IF THE BUILDING'S EMPTY, THEY CAN TEAR IT DOWN AND REBUILD A NEW ONE RATHER THAN TAKING UP THAT MUCH MORE OF WHAT YOU WOULD BE. 
          CARL SMITH CONTINUES TO HOLD HIS HANDS CLASPED OCCASIONALLY MOVING HIS FINGERS WHILE LOOKING FORWARD INTENTLY. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE ANY, HE BRINGS HIS HANDS TOGETHER, INTERLOCKING HIS FINGERS LOOKING THOUGHTFUL. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ECONOMIC IMPACT OR DEVELOPMENT IF YOU'RE JUST BUILDING ANOTHER BUILDING AND YOU'RE LETTING OTHERS SIT STILL. 
          CARL SMITH MAINTAINS HIS THOUGHTFUL POSE WITH HANDS CLASPED LOOKING SLIGHTLY TO HIS LEFT. 
          SO AS YOU'RE DOING THESE THINGS, I I WOULD LIKE Y'ALL TO AT LEAST LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF PUSHING DEVELOPERS TOWARDS USING CURRENT BUILDINGS OR SITES THAT HAVE EMPTY BUILDINGS ON IT AS OPPOSED TO JUST GOING OUT AND BUILDING ANOTHER BUILDING THAT MAY IN A FEW YEARS ALSO BE EMPTY. 
          SO ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. 
          THE MAN GESTURES WITH HIS HANDS AS HE SPEAKS. 
          THANK YOU SIR. 
          HE'S PRETTY CALM, DIDN'T I? THE SCENE CHANGES TO A MEETING ROOM WITH A LARGE WOODEN WALL BEHIND A LONG DARK TABLE, A CIRCULAR SEAL WITH THE WORD CITY OF GARLAND, TEXAS IS CENTERED ON THE WALL. 
          TWO MEN ARE SEATED AT THE TABLE LOOKING AT PAPERS AND COMPUTER MONITORS. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU SIR. 
          THE TWO MEN AT THE TABLE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT PAPERS AND COMPUTER MONITORS. 
          ALRIGHT, THE WOMAN WALKS INTO THE FRAME FROM THE LEFT END SITS DOWN AT THE TABLE, ANOTHER WOMAN IS VISIBLE ON THE FAR RIGHT, ALSO SEATED AT THE TABLE. 
          AND WITH THAT OUR LAST SPEAKER, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

          SIR, IF YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND TELL US WHY YOU'RE APPLYING FOR THIS BOARD POSITION. 
          YES, MY NAME IS BRETT VANCE. 
          UH, I'M APPLYING TO THIS POSITION BECAUSE, UH, FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS I WAS A NEAR DAILY, UH, COMMUTER ON THE DARK. 
          A MAN WITH A DARK BEARD AND LONG HAIR WEARING A PATTERN, SHORT SLEEVED SHIRT, SITS AT A DARK WOODEN DESK.

          UH, I'VE COMMUTED TO AND FROM MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, MULTIPLE CITIES, INCLUDING GARLAND. 
          UM, UH, AND, AND AS SUCH, I FEEL PARTICULARLY QUALIFIED, UM, BECAUSE I'M, YOU KNOW, FAIRLY INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THE DAILY INNER WORKINGS AND WHAT IT'S LIKE, UH, TO TO BE, YOU KNOW, THAT REGULAR COMMUTER. 
          UH, IN ADDITION, UM, I'VE SPENT MY CAREER IN MARKETING. 
          I HAVE MANAGED SEVEN FIGURE MONTHLY BUDGETS, AND I'M USED TO MANAGING AND MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON METRICS AND DATA, UH, AND DOING WHAT THE DATA DEMANDS, UH, IN ORDER TO REMOVE KIND OF THE EMOTIONAL CAPACITY FROM THOSE THINGS. 
          AND I THINK THE DATA BACKS UP THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT GARLAND NEEDS, UM, AND I WANT SOMEBODY TO, TO BE THAT VOICE FOR THE PEOPLE. 
          UH, AND THEN FINALLY, YOU KNOW, I I WOULD VIEW IT AS, UH, MY JOB TO LISTEN ESPECIALLY, UH, FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AS YOU'RE REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE. 
          UH, AND THAT WOULD PROVIDE A MAJOR INFLUENCE TO MY DIRECTION AS A BOARD MEMBER.

          ALL RIGHT, SIR, IF YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND TELL US WHY YOU'RE APPLYING FOR THIS BOARD POSITION. 
          YES, UH, THE SCENE CHANGES TO SIMON MATTHEW, A BALD MAN WEARING GLASSES AND A PATTERN TEAL SHIRT SITTING AT A DESK. 
          HE'S SPEAKING INTO A MICROPHONE WITH A LAPTOP AND PAPERS IN FRONT OF HIM. 
          UH, MY NAME IS SIMON MATTHEW. 
          I LIVE IN DISTRICT THREE, UH, 4 5 0 2 BOB TOWN ROAD, GARLAND, TEXAS. 
          UH, SO I'M INTERESTED IN THE DART BOARD BECAUSE I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE DART AREA TRANSIT ALLIANCE. 
          WE WERE WITH THE GROUP THAT 
          [00:35:01]
HELPED KNOCK ON 4,000 DOORS TO MAKE SURE PLANO AND OTHER CITIES DID NOT LEAVE. 
          SO HIGHLAND PARK WAS THE ONLY CITY THAT EVEN THOUGH WE TRIED, SOMEONE GAVE US A $10,000 GRANT TO ACTIVELY TRY TO GET PEOPLE TO VOTE THERE AND WE FAILED. 
          BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE STILL HAVE DART IN, UH, IN A WHOLE PIECE. 
          AND WHAT ARE THE ISSUES THAT I'M LOOKING AT SOLVING FOR DART IS ONE, WE NEED A NEW CEO FOR DART NA LEE HAS LEFT, SO WE NEED SOMEONE THAT CAN, UH, BE EFFECTIVE IN THAT. 
          AND THEN ANOTHER THING IS IN THE STATE SESSIONS ARE COMING UP, SO WE NEED TO NAVIGATE THE LEGISLATIVE NATURE OF THAT. 
          AND THEN THE THIRD IS WHAT IS THE GMP BUDGET HOLE GONNA DO FOR US? SIMON MATTHEW LOOKS UP THEN BACK DOWN AT THE PAPERS ON HIS DESK, UH, WHEN SOME OF THE NUMBERS WE'VE RAN FOR DATA IS THAT BY YEAR FIVE OR YEAR SEVEN, IT'LL BE A ROUGHLY 3 MILLION OR $7 MILLION HOLE THAT WE HAVE TO FILL. 
          SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO COME UP AND THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I'M TRYING TO TACKLE. 
          I WAS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT WENT, UH, SPEAKING FOR DART, UH, IN GARLAND. 
          SIMON MATTHEW LOOKS UP IN GESTURES WITH BOTH HANDS. 
          UM, DURING THAT WHOLE UM, DART, UM, THERE WAS LIKE A WHOLE PARATRANSIT, THEY WERE TRYING TO CUT LINES AND THINGS. 
          SIMON MATTHEW STOPS GESTURING AND LOOKS DOWN AT HIS PAPERS. 
          SO I WAS THERE TILL 1230 AT NIGHT. 
          UH, I GAVE MY LITTLE SPIEL SIMON MATTHEW GESTURES WITH HIS RIGHT HAND. 
          UM, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY PE USERS THERE WERE FOR PARATRANSIT, SO THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER THING, UH, THAT I WOULD REALLY TRY TO WORK ON IS SEEING WHAT WE CAN DO WITH GO LINKS, SEEING WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THE ROUTES THAT WE DO HAVE. 
          HOW CAN WE IMPROVE? BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF BUDGET CUTS. 
          SIMON MATTHEW GESTURES WITH HIS RIGHT HAND POINTING HIS THUMB, AND I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE PREPARED TO UNDERSTAND THAT MONEY IS A BIG ISSUE. 
          SIMON MATTHEW MAKES SMALL HAND GESTURES AND UM, RIGHT NOW I KNOW THEY'RE WORKING IN DESOTO TO TRY TO GET DESOTO TO JOIN IN. 
          SO HOPEFULLY ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD TRY TO DO IS TALK TO OTHER MEMBER CITIES. 
          I'M ALREADY TALKING TO SOME PEOPLE IN MESQUITE. 
          MESQUITE MIGHT BE INTERESTED. 
          SIMON MATTHEW POINTS HIS RIGHT INDEX FINGER. 
          SO, UM, AND I'VE ALSO TALKED TO RANDALL BRYANT, THE CURRENT DART CHAIR ABOUT, UH, WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS THAT IF OTHER CITIES THAT ARE SURROUNDING US WANT TO JOIN, LIKE WHAT, WHAT DO THEY NEED TO TAKE THE NEXT STEPS. 
          SO THAT'S SOME OF THE THINGS I'M ACTIVELY WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. 
          SIMON MATTHEWS SPEAKS AND GESTURES WITH HIS HANDS.

          UH, I FEEL LIKE THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF GOOD, UM, FEEDBACK, BUT IF THEY'RE IN CONFLICT WITH WHAT GARLAND WANTS, GARLAND IS ALWAYS NUMBER ONE. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          THE SCENE RETURNS TO THE TWO MEN AT THE LONG TABLE, BOTH LOOKING DOWN AT THEIR MONITORS. 
          COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE A FOR THE APPLICANT? MICHAEL J BETS LOOKS DOWN AT HIS COMPUTER SCREEN. 
          DYLAN HEDRICK LOOKS DOWN AT PAPERS ON HIS DESK. 
          I SEE NONE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU GUYS. 
          MM-HMM  DYLAN. 
          HEDRICK LOOKS UP BRIEFLY THEN BACK DOWN AT HIS PAPERS. 
          ALRIGHT, COUNSEL, YOU'VE HEARD FROM ALL THE APPLICANTS MICHAEL J BETTS RUBBED 
          [00:40:01]
HIS FOREHEAD WITH HIS HAND. 
          WE WILL NOW, UH, MAKE THE APPOINTEE AT TOMORROW'S MEETING. 
          DYLAN HEDRICK LOOKS UP AND SMILES SLIGHTLY, THEN RETURNS HIS GAZE TO HIS PAPERS. 
          SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. 
          DYLAN HEDRICK REACHES FOR A STACK OF PAPERS TO HIS RIGHT. 
          THE WOMAN'S HAND IS VISIBLE ENTERING THE FRAME FROM THE RIGHT. 
          WE'LL MOVE NOW ON TO THE NEXT ITEM ON HER VERBAL BRIEFINGS IS ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, ADOPTION OF THE CITY OF GARLAND HOUSING STRATEGY PREPARED BY C-C-V-L-L-C. 
          THE WOMAN IN AN ORANGE TOP IS PARTIALLY VISIBLE ON THE FAR RIGHT REACHING FOR SOMETHING ON THE TABLE. 
          BECKY KING SITS AT A DARK WOODEN TABLE LOOKING AT A LAPTOP IN FRONT OF HER IN GESTURES WITH HER RIGHT HAND, SHE SMILES AND GESTURES WITH BOTH HANDS THEN REACHES UP TO TOUCH HER FACE. 
          GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL. 
          I'M BECKY KING. 
          I'M THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND I'M HERE TO GIVE A VERY QUICK RECAP OF, UM, CZ B'S PRESENTATION AT SATURDAY JUNE, UH, WORKSHOP AND TO, UM, SHOW THE BOUNDARIES FOR THE ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS THAT WE'LL BE CONSIDERING. 
          SO JUST A VERY QUICK BACKGROUND. 
          THE SLIDE APPEARS ON SCREEN WITH THE TITLE, BACKGROUND AND NEXT STEPS BELOW. 
          THE TITLE A HORIZONTAL TIMELINE SHOWS FOUR STEPS EACH WITH AN ICON AND DESCRIPTIVE TEXT. 
          STEP ZERO ONE TITLED STUDY HAS AN ICON OF A MAGNIFYING BLAST OVER HEARTBEAT LINE.

          THE TEXT READS RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE ADOPTION OF THE GARLAND HOUSING STRATEGY REPORT AND PROPOSED ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS WILL BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AT THE JUNE 17TH, 2024 REGULAR SESSION. 
          A SMALL NUMBER TWO IS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SLIDE. 
          THE STUDY WAS INITIATED IN 2025 WITH CZB CONSULTING. 
          UM, THEY CAME TO COUNCIL A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE SUMMER AND FALL OF 25 WITH UPDATES IN JANUARY OF 2026. 
          THEY PRESENTED THE FINAL STUDY RESULTS AND ENGAGED COUNCIL IN A, UH, MULTI-HOUR WORKSHOP AND GAINED DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL ON THE OVERALL STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR THE HOUSING STRATEGY. 
          UH, THEY WENT BACK, SPENT SEVERAL MONTHS FILLING IN THE DATA INTO THAT FRAMEWORK. 
          CAME BACK TO COUNCIL AT THE JUNE 6TH WORKSHOP WITH THE DETAILS OF THE STRATEGY. 
          AND THAT STRATEGY IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED, AND I APOLOGIZE, I'VE GOT THE WRONG DATE THAT IT SHOULD BE JUNE 16TH TOMORROW NIGHT FOR ADOPTION. 
          THE SLIGHT CHANGES TO KEY STUDY FINDINGS ON THE LEFT, THERE ARE BULLET POINTS AND ON THE RIGHT THE DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATES A FEEDBACK LOOP TEXT KEY STUDY FINDINGS. 
          TEXT GARLAND IS CAUGHT IN A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP THAT IS PERPETUATING DISINVESTMENT AND SOFT DEMAND. 
          SO VERY QUICKLY THE THE KEY STUDY FINDINGS, UH, PRIMARILY GARLAND'S HOUSING MARKET HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE CITY'S LONG-TERM FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY AND THE RESULTING ABILITY TO PRESERVE QUALITY OF LIFE SERVICES AND AMENITIES FOR OUR RESIDENTS. 
          THIS IS BASED ON NUMEROUS THINGS. 
          UM, ONE THING TO NOTE, GARLAND'S OLDER, SMALL, SMALLER HOUSING STOCK IS AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF NATURALLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE REGION. 
          TO THE LEFT OF THE DIAGRAM, THERE IS A BLUE BOX WITH AN ICON OF A DELIVERY TRUCK. 
          INSIDE THE BLUE BOX THERE ARE TWO SPEECH BUBBLES. 
          TEXT UNDER THE SIXTH BULLET POINT, THERE ARE TWO SUB BULLET POINTS. 
          THE FIRST SUB-BULLET READS A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP, AND THE SECOND SUB-BULLET READS TWO INVESTMENT APPS. 
          IN THE GARLAND HOUSING MARKET, THE DIAGRAM IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN SECTIONS AND UPPER GREEN SECTION AND THE LOWER GRAY SECTION REPRESENTING A CYCLE. 
          IN THE UPPER GREEN SECTION, THERE ARE FOUR INTERCONNECTED BOXES LABELED MARKET IMAGE, CAPACITY AND CONDITION. 
          FORMING A CLOCKWISE LOOP, THE MARKET BOX IN THE GREEN SECTION READS A COMPARABLY STRONG BLOCK NEIGHBORHOOD OR CITY BELOW IT. 
          SMALLER TEXT READS, MORE HOUSEHOLDS HAVE THE OPTION TO CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE MARKET. 
          THE IMAGE BOX IN THE GREEN SECTION READS IN A CITY AREA OR A PLACE THAT IS PERCEIVED AS HEALTHY, GROWING AND DESIRABLE HOUSEHOLDS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A POSITIVE PERCEPTION. 
          THE CAPACITY BOX IN THE GREEN SECTION READS HEALTHY, GROWING AND DESIRABLE IMMUNITIES HAVE THE CAPACITY, RESOURCES, AND POLITICAL WILL TO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE THEIR HOUSING ECONOMY AND CIVIC LIFE. 
          THIS LEADS TO A STRONG MARKET AND IMAGE. 
          THE CONDITION BOX IN THE GREEN SECTION READS THE CORE FEELS SOLID AND VIBRANT.

          THE CAPACITY BOX IN THE GRAY SECTION READS UNHEALTHY, DECLINING, AND UNDESIRABLE COMMUNITIES LACK THE CAPACITY, RESOURCES, AND POLITICAL WILL TO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE THEIR HOUSING ECONOMY AND CIVIC LIFE. 
          THIS LEADS TO A WEAK MARKET AND IMAGE. 
          THE CONDITION BOX IN THE GRAY SECTION READS THE CORE FEELS TIRED AND DISSED. 
          THE TOP SPEECH BUBBLE READS AN EQUALITY COMMUNITY. 
          A PROSPECTIVE RESIDENT ASKS THEMSELVES, WHICH CITY, AREA OR PLACE DO I PREFER? THE BOTTOM SPEECH BUBBLE READS IN A DECLINING COMMUNITY, A PROSPECTIVE RESIDENT ASKS THEMSELVES, WHICH CITY, AREA OR PLACE CAN I AFFORD? BELOW THE BLUE BOX, THERE ARE TWO TEXT BOXES. 
          THE FIRST TEXT BOX IS LABELED CONDITIONS AND READS. 
          CONDITIONS DESCRIBE THE RESULTING LEVEL OF CARE AND INVESTMENT TAKING PLACE. 
          THE SECOND TEXT BOX IS LABELED IMAGE AND READS.

          THE FIRST TEXT BOX IS LABELED MARKET AND READS MARKET IS ABOUT WHAT IS BEING SOLD OR RENTED. 
          THE SECOND TEXT BOX IS LABELED CAPACITY AND READS. 
          CAPACITY REFERS TO HOW HOUSEHOLDS, BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS ARE ABLE TO MANAGE OR MAINTAIN THEIR HOME OR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          HOWEVER, THE COMBINATION OF AGING HOUSING STOCK, OUTDATED STRIP CENTERS AND DEFERRED MAINTENANCE HAVE IMPACTED PERCEPTION AND REINVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          HOME VALUES IN MANY OF GARLAND'S NEIGHBORHOODS, TRAIL COMPARABLE NEIGHBORHOODS AND NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES AND THE LACK OF ECONOMIC DIVERSITY HAS RESULTED IN FEWER COMMERCIAL AMENITIES THAT CURRENT RESIDENTS AND POTENTIAL BUYERS DESIRE, AS WELL AS A SMALLER SHARE OF THE TAX BURDEN BEING CARRIED BY SALES TAX AND OTHER COMMERCIAL REVENUES TEXT UNDER THE SIXTH BULLET POINT, THERE ARE TWO SUB BULLET POINTS. 
          THE FIRST SUB BULLET READS A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP, AND THE SECOND SUB BULLET READS TWO INVESTMENT GAPS. 
          IN THE GARLAND HOUSING MARKET. 
          THE DIAGRAM IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN SECTIONS, AN UPPER GREEN SECTION AND A LOWER GRAY SECTION REPRESENTING A CYCLE. 
          IN THE UPPER GREEN SECTION THERE ARE FOUR INTERCONNECTED BOXES LABELED MARKET IMAGE, CAPACITY AND CONDITION. 
          FORMING A CLOCKWISE LOOP, THE MARKET BOX IN THE GREEN SECTION READS A COMPARABLY STRONG BLOCK NEIGHBORHOOD OR CITY BELOW IT.

          THE FIRST TEXT BOX IS LABELED CONDITIONS AND READS. 
          CONDITIONS DESCRIBED A RESULTING LEVEL OF CARE AND INVESTMENT TAKING PLACE. 
          THE SECOND TEXT BOX IS LABELED IMAGE AND READS. 
          IMAGE IS THE PERCEPTION OF THE PLACE BY THE BROADER MARKET.

          CAPACITY REFERS TO HOW HOUSEHOLDS, BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS ARE ABLE TO MANAGE OR MAINTAIN THEIR HOME OR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          COMBINED THIS LACK OF COMMERCIAL AMENITIES, DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND THE INCREASING COST OF HOUSING IN THE REGION, WHICH OUTPACES SALARY GROWTH HAS RESULTED IN TWO IMPORTANT DYNAMICS IN GARLAND'S HOUSING MARKET. 
          YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THOSE ILLUSTRATED IN THE GRAPHIC TO THE RIGHT. 
          UM, GARLAND IS IN THE LOWER HALF THE GRAYER AREA OF THAT GRAPHIC AND THAT IS BEING CAUGHT IN A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP. 
          AND SO EACH OF THOSE DYNAMICS THAT I JUST DESCRIBED MAP QUITE NICELY OVER TO, UM, THE GRAPH AND SHOW THAT, UH, IMAGE AFFECTS THE MARKET, AFFECTS THE CAPACITY, UH, TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY AND FOR INDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDS AFFECTS CONDITION AND THE CYCLE CONTINUES. 
          TEXT GARLAND'S HOUSING MARKET HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON ITS LONG-TERM FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY AND THE RESULTING ABILITY TO PRESERVE QUALITY OF LIFE SERVICES AND AMENITIES FOR ITS RESIDENTS. 
          GARLAND'S, OLDER, SMALLER 
          [00:50:01]
HOUSING STOCK IS AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF NATURALLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE REGION. 
          THE COMBINATION OF AGING HOUSING STOCK, OUTDATED STRIP CENTERS AND DEFERRED MAINTENANCE HAVE IMPACTED PERCEPTION AND REINVESTMENT. 
          HOME VALUES IN MANY OF GARLAND'S NEIGHBORHOODS, TRAIL COMPAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. 
          LACK OF ECONOMIC DIVERSITY HAS RESULTED IN FEWER COMMERCIAL AMENITIES, CURRENT RESIDENTS AND POTENTIAL BUYERS DESIRE AS WELL AS A SMALLER SHARE OF THE TAX BURDEN BEING CARRIED BY SALES TAX AND OTHER COMMERCIAL REVENUES. 
          THE OTHER IMPORTANT FINDING WAS THAT GARLAND HAS TWO INVESTMENT GAPS IN ITS HOUSING MARKET. 
          THE SLIDE TRANSITIONS TO A NEW SLIDE TITLED THE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK. 
          IT DISPLAYS A DIAGRAM COMPARING A MARKET GAP AND AN AFFORDABILITY GAP, BOTH REPRESENTED BY COLUMNS OF DOLLAR SIGNS. 
          THE MARKET GAP COLUMN IS GREEN, SHOWING A HIGHER STACK OF DOLLAR SIGNS ABOVE A LOWER STACK INDICATING A GAP BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF WILLINGNESS TO PAY IN THE COSTS. 
          THE AFFORDABILITY GAP COLUMN IS BLUE, ALSO SHOWING A HIGHER STACK OF DOLLAR SIGNS ABOVE A LOWER STACK INDICATING A GAP BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF ABILITY TO PAY FOR AVAILABLE HOUSING. 
          A YELLOW ARROW LABELED EACH GAP HAS SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON THE OTHER POINTS BETWEEN THE TWO COLUMNS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE, TWO SECTIONS DETAIL THE MARKET GAP AND AFFORDABILITY GAP TEXT COST TO GENERATE AND MAINTAIN HOUSING UNITS. 
          MARKET CAP LEVEL OF WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR AVAILABLE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, GAP, LEVEL OF ABILITY TO PAY FOR AVAILABLE HOUSING. 
          ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DIAGRAM, A GREEN BOX STATES TARGETED ADDITIVE STRATEGY FOR FISCAL STABILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE. 
          ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DIAGRAM, A BLUE BOX STATES CONTINUATION AND EXPANSION OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR VULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDS. 
          ONE OF THOSE IS AN AFFORDABILITY GAP AND THE OTHER IS A MARKET GAP. 
          THE AFFORDABILITY GAP IS ONE THAT MANY CAN IDENTIFY WITH EASILY. 
          IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT THE COST TO CONSTRUCT, OBTAIN, AND MAINTAIN HOUSING EXCEEDS THE THE LEVEL OF FUNDING AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR THAT. 
          SO THERE IS A GAP IN AVAILABLE FUNDING WHICH RESULTS IN COST BURDEN FOR OWNERS AND RENTERS. 
          AND JUST ONE NOTE THAT SENIOR RENTERS BEING PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE, THE MARKET GAP SIDE IS WHERE YOU HAVE THE COST TO CONSTRUCT, OBTAIN, AND MAINTAIN HOUSING EXCEEDS PEOPLE'S WILLINGNESS TO PAY. 
          ONE IS AN ABILITY, ONE IS A WILLINGNESS TO PAY THAT MARKET GAP LIMITS HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO INVEST IN PROPERTIES THEY ALREADY OWN IN THE CITY OR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ACQUIRE PROPERTIES IN THE CITY. 
          UM, IT ALSO IS INDICATIVE OF A DEFICIT OF UPPER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS TO SUPPORT COMMERCIAL AMENITIES AND SALES TAX. 
          ADDRESSING BOTH OF THESE GAPS IS WHAT COUNCIL HAS CHARGED US TO DO. 
          UM, IT DOES REQUIRE A VERY CAREFULLY CURATED STRATEGY BECAUSE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, ADDRESSING ONE GAP CAN HAVE, UM, NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE OTHER. 
          THE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK ADDRESSES THIS ON THE AFFORDABILITY GAP SIDE BY EMPHASIZING CONTINUING AND EXPANDING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR VULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDS. 
          ON THE MARKET GAP SIDE, IT TARGETS ADDITIVE. 
          IT'S AN ADDITIVE STRATEGY TARGETED FOR FISCAL STABILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE. 
          TO EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND APPROACH OF THE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK RECOGNIZE HOUSING AS INTEGRAL TO THE COMMUNITY'S QUALITY OF LIFE AND LONG-TERM ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY. 
          IT ADDRESSES BOTH THE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND MARKET GAPS BY CONTINUING BASELINE. 
          CITY SERVICES CITYWIDE WHILE ADDING CONCENTRATED STABILIZATION REVITALIZATION AND REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS IN SPECIFIC AREAS REFERRED TO AS ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS. 
          THE SCREEN DISPLAYS A PRESENTATION SLIDE WITH A BLUE HEADER BAR AT THE TOP. 
          ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HEADER BAR IS A WHITE CIRCULAR DESIGN WITH INTRICATE LINES TEXT. 
          STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK TEXT APPROACH IN GUIDING PRINCIPLES TEXT THREE. 
          WE WOULD DO THIS BY EXPANDING ASSISTANCE FOR VULNERABLE AND LOW INCOME POPULATIONS. 
          CON CONCENTRATING CITY RESOURCES GEOGRAPHICALLY IN A NETWORK OF WALKABLE MIXED USE ECONOMIC FOCUSED AREAS WITH DOWNTOWN IS THE CENTER BUILDING FROM STRENGTHS TO MAXIMIZE THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT OF OUR LIMITED CITY RESOURCES. 
          IT ALSO EMPHASIZES RAISING STANDARDS OF CARE, LEVERAGING PRIVATE INVESTMENT WITH PUBLIC INCENTIVES, EXPANDING HOUSING CHOICE AND HOUSING TYPES, AND PROMOTING MIXED INCOME STRATEGIES. 
          ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDE, A DETAILED MAP OF THE CITY IS DISPLAYED. 
          IT SHOWS VARIOUS ROADS, WATERWAYS, AND CITY BOUNDARIES, DIFFERENT COLORED LINES AND SHADED AREAS, HIGHLIGHT CORRIDORS, NODES AND ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS. 
          A LEGEND IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENT COLORS AND SYMBOLS USED ON THE MAP, INCLUDING GREEN FOR ENHANCEMENT, RED FOR TRANSFORMATION, BLUE FOR NEW SUBURBAN LANDSCAPE, YELLOW FOR GATEWAY CORRIDORS AND VARIOUS SHADES OF PINK AND GRAY FOR PRIORITY, SECONDARY AND STUDY AREA NODES. 
          SO WHY ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS? WELL, THE CHALLENGE BEFORE US 
          [00:55:01]
IS THAT WE HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES THAT CANNOT TRANSFORM THE ENTIRE CITY AT ONCE. 
          SPREADING THE INVESTMENT BROADLY PRODUCES LIMITED VISIBLE CHANGE. 
          THE SOLUTION PROPOSED IS THE ECONOMIC FOCUS AREA AS WOULD FOCUS INVESTMENT WHERE IT CAN GENERATE THE GREATEST RETURN, ATTRACT PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT AND NEW HOUSING. 
          STRENGTHEN, STRENGTHEN, UH, ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS, CORRIDORS AND FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY BUILD MOMENTUM THROUGH VISIBLE SUCCESS THAT CAN BE REPLICATED ELSEWHERE AND EVENTUALLY EXPAND ELSEWHERE. 
          TO COVER ALL OF GARLAND OVER TIME BY SEQUENCING THROUGH PROPOSED AND FUTURE ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS, TEXT A LEGEND AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE MAP, EXPLAINS THE SYMBOLS UNDER CORRIDORS. 
          THE LEGEND LISTS ENHANCEMENT REPRESENTED BY A GREEN LINE TRANSFORMATION REPRESENTED BY A RED LINE. 
          NEW SUBSTANTIAL MIXED USE FOCUS REPRESENTED BY YELLOW DASH LINE AND GATEWAY CORRIDOR. 
          REPRESENTED BY A BLUE LINE UNDER NODES, THE LEGEND LISTS PRIORITY, REPRESENTED BY A RED STAR INDICATING COMMERCIAL AND JOB INTENSIVE AREAS, SECONDARY REPRESENTED BY A RED CIRCLE AND TERTIARY REPRESENTED BY A YELLOW CIRCLE. 
          A NOTE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LEGEND READS ECONOMIC FOCUS AREA DEMONSTRATES STRATEGIC APPROACH TO MARKET OPPORTUNITY REPRESENTED BY A GRAY BOX. 
          THE PAGE NUMBER SIX IS DISPLAYED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SLIDE, THE TAKEAWAY BEING THAT CONCENTRATING RESOURCES CREATES GREATER CITYWIDE IMPACT THAN DISPERSING THEM. 
          ON THIS MAP, YOU CAN SEE, UM, WHERE THE ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS ARE THAT ARE PROPOSED. 
          THOSE AREAS THAT ARE THIS, THE PINKY RED COLOR, SO THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT, AS WELL AS, UH, THREE NODES ALONG KINGSLEY AND SATURN, MAKE UP THE PRO FIRST, UH, PRIORITY AREAS THAT WOULD BE FOCUSED ON THE VIDEO DISPLAYS A PRESENTATION SLIDE WITH THE TITLE, WHY ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. 
          THE SLIDE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN SECTIONS. 
          THE LEFT SECTION CONTAINS TEXT, AND THE RIGHT SECTION DISPLAYS A MAP THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. 
          TEXT WHY? ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS TEXT THE CHALLENGE LIMITED RESOURCES CANNOT TRANSFORM THE ENTIRE CITY AT ONCE. 
          SPREADING INVESTMENT BROADLY PRODUCES LIMITED VISIBLE CHANGE. 
          AND THEN YOU HAVE, UH, THREE GRAY NODES, AND THOSE ARE SECONDARY ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS. 
          THE VIDEO TRANSITIONS TO A NEW PRESENTATION SLIDE. 
          THE SLIDE IS DIVIDED INTO THREE COLUMNS, CORRIDORS, NODES SLASH DISTRICT, AND NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          EACH COLUMN CONTAINS A LIST OF BULLET POINTS, TEXT, E, F, A, INTERVENTIONS, TEXT, NEIGHBORHOODS, COLUMN WHERE THE HEART IS FOCUSED, RESOURCES, CAPACITY BUILDING, NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY GROWTH, NEIGHBORHOODS REVITALIZE, ENCOURAGE REINVESTMENT, HOMEOWNER RENOVATION, INCENTIVE PROGRAM, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR UPGRADES, BLOCK CHALLENGE GRANTS, EXTERIOR, SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPER INCENTIVES, LEGACY NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          STABILIZE, ESTABLISH MINIMUM STANDARDS, EXPAND COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE, PRESERVE QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, RETOOL HOME IMPROVEMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM, EXTERIOR, SF RENTAL REHABILITATION INCENTIVES PROGRAM. 
          GARLAND CARES PROGRAM TEXT. 
          THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SLIDE SHOWS THE PAGE NUMBER SEVEN. 
          SO WHAT WOULD WE DO? I'LL COME BACK TO EACH OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY IN A MINUTE. 
          WHAT WOULD WE DO IN A FO FOCUS AREA? WELL, FOR EXAMPLE, IN CORRIDORS THERE WOULD BE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE, IN THE WAY OF MEDIAN ENHANCEMENTS LIKE LANDSCAPING, IMPROVED HARDSCAPING IN THE MEDIANS. 
          WE WOULD LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO INTRODUCE MORE GREEN SPACE LANDSCAPING, STREET TREES IN OUR PARKWAYS, UM, PUBLIC ART SIGNAGE IMPROVEMENTS AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS. 
          WE WOULD ALSO EMPHASIZE CODE COMPLIANCE. 
          LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE FENCING AND SCREENING ALONG THOSE MAJOR CORRIDORS. 
          ADDRESS AGING, MULTIFAMILY REVITALIZATION AND COMMERCIAL USE. 
          COMMERCIAL CENTER FACADE GRANTS WHERE APPROPRIATE AND THE NODES ARE DISTRICTS. 
          THE FOCUS WOULD BE ON INCENTIVIZING MARKET RATE AND MIXED INCOME INFILL HOUSING, LAND USE, REBALANCING, PLACEMAKING. 
          AND AS AN EXAMPLE, EACH AREA HAS, UH, CCB HAS PROVIDED SPECIFIC GOALS FOR EACH AREA. 
          SO FOR DOWNTOWN, UH, THE GOAL WOULD BE TO ADD 2,500 HOUSING UNITS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. 
          IN NEIGHBORHOODS WE WOULD USE WHERE THE HEART IS AS OUR DELIVERY VEHICLE. 
          UM, ADDRESSING TWO NEIGHBORHOODS A YEAR, FOCUSING RESOURCES, CAPACITY BUILDING AND NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY EFFORTS IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, AND DOING SO WHILE WORKING WITH RESIDENTS HAND IN HAND. 
          AS YOU MAY RECALL, UM, THE CZB ANALYSIS CAME UP WITH A TYPOLOGY THAT DIVIDES NEIGHBORHOODS INTO FOUR CATEGORIES. 
          TEXT, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, MEDIAN ENHANCEMENTS, STREET TREES SLASH PARKWAY SLASH ENHANCEMENTS, PUBLIC ART, SIGNAGE IMPROVEMENTS, PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS, CODE COMPLIANCE, FENCE SLASH SCREENING IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THERE ARE COMPETITIVE NEIGHBORHOODS, MODERATE AND 
          [01:00:01]
MODEST GROWTH NEIGHBORHOODS AND LEGACY NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          THERE ARE TAILORED, CURATED PROGRAMS FOR EACH, UM, OF THE GROWTH NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE LEGACY NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          GROWTH IN NEIGHBORHOODS WOULD FOCUS ON REVITALIZING AND ENCOURAGING REINVESTMENT, AND YOU CAN SEE THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS THAT ARE PROPOSED. 
          ONE WOULD BE A HOMEOWNER RENOVATION PROGRAM THAT ADDRESSES BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR UPGRADES. 
          ONE WOULD BE A BLOCK CHALLENGE GRANT PROGRAM, UM, THAT REQUIRES A MUCH SMALLER LEVEL INVESTMENT FROM THE HOMEOWNER, BUT IS FOR EXTERIORS ONLY. 
          TEXT CORRIDORS COLUMN CONTINUES WITH AGING MF REVITALIZATION AND COMMERCIAL CENTER FACADE GRANTS, TEXT NODES, DISTRICT COLUMN LISTS, INCENTIVIZED MARKET RATE AND MIXED INCOME INFILL HOUSING, MEDIUM AND HIGH DENSITY LAND USE, REBALANCING PLACEMAKING AND DOWNTOWN AT 2,500 HOUSING UNITS IN NEXT 10 YEARS. 
          AND THEN THE THIRD WOULD BE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPER INCENTIVES TO, UM, ENCOURAGE THEM TO MAKE SOME OF THE, THE LARGER UPGRADES THAT MAY BE DIFFICULT, UM, FOR INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          IN LEGACY NEIGHBORHOODS, THE FOCUS WOULD BE TO STABILIZE, ESTABLISH MINIMUM STANDARDS, EXPAND COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AND PRESERVE QUALITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          UM, THE NEW PROGRAMS WOULD BE TO RETOOL THE CURRENT OR THE, THE RECENT HOME IMPROVEMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR LOWER INCOME FAMILIES, A SINGLE FAMILY REHABILITATION INCENTIVE PROGRAM, AND TO, UM, TAKE WHAT USED TO BE CODE CARES AND KIND OF EXPAND UPON THAT IDEA INTO A GARLAND CARES PROGRAM, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE A ONE STOP SHOP FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED ASSISTANCE IN MAINTAINING THEIR PROPERTIES TO GET TO THAT ASSISTANCE. 
          THEY NO LONGER NEED TO KNOW WHAT DEPARTMENT DOES WHAT PROGRAM OR EVEN WHAT THE PROGRAMS ARE. 
          THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO CALL AND SAY WHAT THE NEED WAS. 
          THE VIDEO TRANSITIONS TO A NEW SLIDE.

          THE MAP SHOWS DIFFERENT CORRIDORS AND NODES HIGHLIGHTED IN VARIOUS COLORS WITH A LEGEND AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT. 
          SO WHY WERE THESE ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS CHOSEN? SO I AM GONNA SHARE WITH YOU THE CONSULTANTS, UM, EXPLANATION OF THAT. 
          UH, IT'S BASED ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF BUILDING ON STRENGTHS. 
          SO SELECTION WAS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF OPPORTUNITY READINESS AND LONG-TERM IMPACT. 
          SELECTION CRITERIA INCLUDED THINGS SUCH AS ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND MARKET OPPORTUNITIES, PROPERTY CONDITIONS, REDEVELOPMENT READINESS, INCLUDING PARCEL SIZES AND ASSEMBLY, FEASIBILITY, CORRIDOR CONNECTIVITY AND VISIBILITY SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD STRENGTH, THE COST, TIMING, AND LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESSFUL TRANSFORMATION AND CONNECTING ONE EFA SUCCESS TO EACH OTHER FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT. 
          AND SO IF YOU NOTE, UM, THEIR PHILOSOPHY OF BUILDING FROM DOWNTOWN IS OUR STRONGEST STARTING POINT AND WORKING OUTWARD, YOU KIND OF SEE, UM, HOW THOSE WORK TOGETHER. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, THOSE FOCUS AREAS ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL HOUSING STRATEGY AND NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND THEN FOR EACH OF THOSE, THERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC, UH, STRENGTHS THAT THEY NOTED DOWNTOWN OUR STRONGEST EXISTING ASSET WITH A PROVEN MOMENTUM AND REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL. 
          ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDE, A DETAILED MAP OF AN URBAN AREA IS DISPLAYED. 
          THE MAP SHOWS VARIOUS ROADS AND NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          SEVERAL CORRIDORS ARE HIGHLIGHTED ON THE MAP IN DIFFERENT COLORS, INCLUDING GREEN, BLUE, AND RED LINES INDICATING DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT OR FOCUS AREAS.

          AND ALSO NOTING THAT REALLY TO, UM, STRENGTHEN THE GROWTH THAT WE'VE HAD IN OUR COMMERCIAL, UM, AMENITIES DOWNTOWN, WE REALLY DO NEED TO ADD 2,500 HOUSEHOLDS TO HELP, UM, STABILIZE AND PROTECT THOSE INVESTMENTS INTO THE FUTURE. 
          IN THE WEDGE, UM, WHAT WAS PARTICULARLY APPEALING TO THEM WERE THE THREE INTERCONNECTED REDEVELOPMENT READY NODES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, STRONG SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THE CRITICAL MASS THEY FEEL IS NEEDED TO DEMONSTRATE SUCCESS.

          AND IT IS THE OPPORTUNITY. 
          THIS PLAN IS BUILT TO CAPTURE TEXT. 
          THE MATH IS STRAIGHTFORWARD. 
          WHEN COSTS OUTRUN REVENUE YEAR AFTER YEAR, THE GAP COMPOUNDS BECAUSE GARLAND IS LARGELY BUILT OUT, WE CANNOT CLOSE IT BY EXPANDING OUTWARD.

          WE ALSO HAVE A MATH PROBLEM AND I WANNA BE CLEAR ABOUT THE MATH BECAUSE THE MATH IS REALLY WHAT HAS BROUGHT US TO THIS POINT AT THIS TIME. 
          [01:25:02]
THE ANNUAL COST GROWTH OF THE THINGS THAT WE BUY AS A CITY. 
          FUEL EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND INSURANCE KEEP GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE. 
          THEY GO UP IN PRICE ABOUT 7% EVERY YEAR, BUT THE LEGISLATURE UNDER SENATE BILL TWO HAS CAPPED THE ANNUAL REVENUE THAT WE CAN RECOVER UNDER OUR PROPERTY TAX BY THREE AND A HALF PERCENT TEXT GARLAND ON THE RISE STRATEGIC PLAN 20 26, 20 36, AND TWO OF NINE AND TWO THIRDS APPROXIMATELY OF OUR COSTS EVERY YEAR. 
          OUR PUBLIC SAFETY, THAT'S OUR POLICE, OUR FIRE EMERGENCY RESPONSE. 
          THIS IS NOT A SUDDEN BUDGET CRISIS, IT'S A STRUCTURAL REALITY THAT WE FACE UNDER SENATE BILL TWO. 
          IF OUR COSTS OUTRUN OUR REVENUES YEAR AFTER YEAR, THAT GAP DOESN'T STAY SMALL. 
          IT COMPOUNDS OVER TIME AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FACING. 
          ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NUMBERS ON THIS SLIDE IS THE $90 MILLION NUMBER. 
          GARLAND COLLECTS ABOUT $354 PER RESIDENT, LESS IN REVENUE THAN THE REGIONAL AVERAGE. 
          MOST OF THAT DEFICIT OCCURS IN OUR SALES TAX AND OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAX. 
          AS I POINTED OUT ON SATURDAY, WE HAVE AN IMBALANCE AND THAT 60% OF OUR REVENUES COME FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAXES AND 40% COME FROM SALES TAX AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY VALUES.

          AND TWO, RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNERS PAY THE BULK OF THE PROPERTY TAX OF THE, OR THE REVENUE, UH, BURDEN THAT WE HAVE THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY TAXES. 
          AND SO IT CREATES TWO PROBLEMS. ONE, IT CREATES A FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY GOING FORWARD BECAUSE THE SENATE BILL TWO CAPS AND TWO, IT CREATES A BURDEN ON OUR RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNERS.

          DOES THAT MEAN THAT EVERY SERVICE LEVEL IS GONNA STAY THE SAME OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS AS WE HAVE DECLINING REVENUES? PROBABLY NOT. 
          PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE OF THE MATH PROBLEM THAT WE FACE. 
          BUT WHAT IT DOES MEAN IS THAT WE'LL MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WHICH OF THOSE SERVICES RESIDENTS RELY UPON MOST AND PROTECT THOSE AND TRY TO TIGHTEN OUR BELTS UNTIL WE CAN GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE GROW OUR WAY OUT OF THIS PROBLEM. 
          SECOND, WHAT WE BUILD, WE CONCENTRATE REINVESTMENT IN SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOODS AND CORRIDORS TO ALLOW THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AND CORRIDORS TO GROW AND TO CREATE A STRONGER COMMERCIAL TAX BASE TO THROW REVENUE OFF, TO CONTINUE TO FUND THIS PLAN AND TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THOSE SERVICES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT.

          STRATEGIC PLAN 2026 TO 2036. 
          THAT'S THE PLAN IN A NUTSHELL. 
          IN A DECADE FROM NOW, WHAT ARE WE GONNA SEE? MY HOPE IS IN A DECADE WE SEE STRONGER NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE'VE REINVESTED IN THAT PRIVATE, UH, MONEY HAS COME INTO AND AND HELP FIX UP THAT WE HAVE RENEWED PRIDE IN THE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE LIVE AND THAT OUR COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR IS ADJACENT TO THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE THRIVING. 
          I'D LIKE TO SEE IN A DECADE THAT THE, THE FOCUS AREAS THAT WE'VE SELECTED ARE VIBRANT AND THRIVING AND HAVE BUSY SHOPPING CENTERS AND A WHITING WIDER MIX OF HOUSING. 
          AND WE WILL SEE THE RESULTS OF THE PRIORITIES THAT WE HAVE MADE IN THOSE AREAS. 
          THE THIRD THING I'D LIKE TO SEE IN A DECADE FROM NOW IS SUSTAINED PUBLIC SAFETY. 
          I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT DESPITE OUR REVENUE CHALLENGES, THE PUBLIC HAS THE POLICE, FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT THEY COME TO EXPECT DESPITE THE REVENUE CHALLENGES. 
          AND IN ADDITION, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT THE LIBRARIES AND THE PARKS, THE CULTURAL ARTS AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE COME TO EXPECT ARE THRIVING BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE REVENUE NECESSARY. 
          BECAUSE THE PLAN HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN A DECADE, WE'LL ALSO HAVE A MORE BALANCED TAX RATE. 
          AS I SAID EARLIER, 60% RIGHT NOW IS PAID BY THE RESIDENTS AND 40% IS PAID BY SALES TAX AND COMMERCIAL. 
          I HOPE IN A DECADE THAT THAT'S FLIPPED OR PRETTY CLOSE AND THAT WOULD PUT US IN A HEALTHIER FINANCIAL POSITION. 
          A HEALTHIER FINANCIAL POSITION BECAUSE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WITH SENATE BILL TWO, YOU NEED A STRONG SALES TAX BASE BECAUSE YOUR REVENUES FROM PROPERTY TAX ARE GOING TO BE HINDERED EVERY YEAR BY SENATE BILL TWO. 
          AND IT'S GONNA RESULT IN US HAVING A STRONGER REGIONAL STANDING THAT IS GARLAND WILL COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY ACROSS, ACROSS NORTH TEXAS FOR BOTH INVESTMENT EMPLOYERS AND FOR HOUSEHOLDS.

          TEXT PROPOSED EDITION. 
          IT'S THE RIGHT QUESTION TO BE ASKING BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'LL SEE IN SOME CITIES IS, AND WE'VE GOT IT IN PARTS OF OUR CITY WHERE EVERY SQUARE INCH IS COVERED IN CONCRETE AND THERE'S NO GREEN SPACES. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE HOUSING STUDY PEOPLE POINTED OUT TO US IS THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HINDERS OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP. 
          PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF JUST STRAIGHT CONCRETE AND NOTHING GREEN IN THE AREA. 
          AND SO ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES WE ADDED TO THE PLAN SINCE LAST YOU SAW IT, IS, UH, OBJECTIVE TWO 11, WHICH SAYS, LET'S CONSIDER OPEN SPACE AS A STRATEGIC ASSET AND A VALUE CREATING ASSET. 
          NOT TO SAY THAT NO OPEN SPACE WILL BE DEVELOPED OR THAT TO SAY WE'RE NOT GONNA DEVELOP IN ANY GREEN SPACE, BUT TO SAY, LOOK, GREEN SPACES ARE VALUABLE ASSETS THAT MAKE THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES MORE VALUABLE. 
          IT'S POSSIBLE THERE'LL BE PLACES WHERE WE HAVE GREEN SPACES AND SOMEBODY WANTS TO DEVELOP AN ADJACENT PROPERTY AND COMBINE THOSE TWO PROPERTIES AND DO SOMETHING THAT THEY COME TO THE COUNCIL AND NEED TO SAY TO THE COUNCIL, WELL, I'D LIKE TO GET SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT THAT'S OTHERWISE NOT ZONED THAT WAY. 
          I WANT A PD OR I WANT SOMETHING ELSE THERE. 
          WE MAY SAY, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD BE WILLING TO SUPPORT THAT IF YOU ARE WILLING TO MIX THE GREEN SPACE IN THAT YOU'RE OTHERWISE TAKING SO THAT WE HAVE GREEN SPACE IN THE PROJECT SO WE'RE NOT CREATING CONCRETE IN PLACES WHERE IT'S CURRENTLY GREEN UNNECESSARILY AGAIN, OTHER PLACES THAT ARE UNDEVELOPED, THAT ARE GREEN SPACE THAT WE'LL DEVELOP. 
          SURE, ALL THIS SAYS IS WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A STRATEGIC LOOK AT THIS AND SAY, IS THERE A PLACE WHERE THOSE GREEN SPACES BRING VALUE AND ADD VALUE TO THE PLACES WE'RE TRYING TO REDEVELOP IN THE FIRST PLACE? AND AS THE, YOU HEARD THE HOUSING STUDY PEOPLE SAY, AND THIS WAS ALLUDED TO HERE, UH, THIS EVENING, THOSE GREEN SPACES ADD VALUE TO THOSE, UH, PLACES WE'RE TRYING TO REDEVELOP AND TO MAKE EVERYTHING CONCRETE WALL TO WALL CONCRETE IS CONTRARY TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          AND SO I'VE, I'VE ADDED THAT INTO THE LAST DRAFT. 
          I'VE SENT YOU A COPY OF IT. 
          UH, AND WE JUST NEED TO BE PURPOSEFUL IN THE USE OF OUR GREEN SPACES SO THAT THEY DON'T ALL DISAPPEAR BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T HELP US FROM AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT.

          AND I WOULD SAY, WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE. 
          WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. 
          WE DON'T NEED A REPORT TO PROVE THAT OR A CASE STUDY TO PROVE THAT YOU JUST NEED TO SPEND A FRIDAY NIGHT ON THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. 
          BECAUSE IF YOU GO ON THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT, YOU'LL SEE IT'S FILLED WITH FAMILIES WHO ARE SITTING ON THE LAWN AND KIDS RUNNING AROUND. 
          AND YOU'LL SEE TABLES FULL AT EVERY RESTAURANT AND YOU'LL SEE ALL SORTS OF ACTIVITY GOING ON IN A PLACE THAT IF YOU WENT THERE A LITTLE OVER A DECADE AGO, IT WAS EMPTY AND BARREN. 
          AND SO WE HAVE A MODEL FOR THIS. 
          WE KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. 
          THAT'S THE MODEL AND WE'LL DO IT AGAIN. 
          THE SAME MODEL THAT WE USED DOWNTOWN THAT WENT THROUGH THE COUNCIL LEADERSHIP DECIDING TO DO IT, THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTING IT, AND THE VOTERS AT THE BALLOT BOX PAYING FOR IT. 
          AND THEN THE CITY STAFF DELIVERING IT IS THE SAME MODEL WE WE'LL USE FOR THE ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT OF THESE ECONOMIC FOCUS AREAS.

          DISTRICT ONE. 
          FIRST OF ALL, MIKE, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT 
          [01:50:01]
THE PRESENTATION IS ONE THAT I BELIEVE THAT WE ALL CAN TRULY GET BEHIND. 
          THE PEOPLE AT THE TABLE ARE LISTENING AT ATTENTIVELY. 
          SOME ARE LOOKING FORWARD, SOME ARE LOOKING AT THEIR SCREENS AND SOME ARE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER. 
          I'VE HEARD IT SEVERAL TIMES. 
          WE BELIEVE IN IT. 
          AFTER I GOT YOUR SECOND LETTER TODAY, UH, EMAIL AS IT RELATED TO THE GREEN SPACE, I BEGAN TO ASK MYSELF A QUESTION OR ASK QUESTIONS THAT I WANT TO HAVE YOU JUST SPEAK ON TONIGHT. 
          WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE CERTAINLY LANDLOCKED AND AS WE GO FORWARD, GREEN SPACE IS GONNA BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE CAN, UH, PRESERVE. 
          BUT HOW WILL WE MEASURE AND RELIABLY DEMONSTRATE THAT PRESERVING OR IMPROVING A SPECIFIC OPEN SPACE INCREASED THE TAXABLE VALUE OF THE NEARBY PROPERTIES? THE BLUE BANNER APPEARS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN TEXT WORK SESSION JUNE 15TH, 2026. 
          SURE. 
          SO, SO WHAT I ANTICIPATE IS WE'LL LOOK AT THOSE PROPERTIES WE DEVELOP AND THOSE AREAS WE DEVELOP WITH GREEN SPACE AND THE MONIES WE PUT IN AND HOW THEY PERFORM ECONOMICALLY VERSUS THE PLACES THAT DEVELOP THAT DON'T HAVE GREEN SPACE AVAILABLE. 
          AND SEE WHETHER, AND THAT'S THE QUESTION. 
          DOES THE DATA SUPPORT WHEN YOU MAINTAIN GREEN SPACES, THOSE PROPERTIES BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE AND MORE VALUABLE? AND SO WE'LL MEASURE THEM BY THE OUTCOME, ECONOMIC OUTCOME AND PRODUCTIVITY OF THOSE. 
          IT SETS ASIDE THE AESTHETICS. 
          THERE'S CERTAINLY THAT VALUE AS WELL. 
          BUT THE REAL QUESTION IN WHAT THE EXPERTS TOLD US IS IT SHOULD MAKE THOSE PROPERTIES MORE VALUABLE AND MAKE THOSE AREAS MORE VALUABLE BY RESERVING THOSE GREEN SPACES. 
          THE SCARCITY OF BUILDABLE SPACES BY MAINTAINING GREEN SPACES MAKES THOSE AREAS MORE VALUABLE. 
          AND WE'LL SEE IF IT MAKES THEM MORE VALUABLE AND PRODUCTIVE. 
          I THINK THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS THAT CRITICS OF THE PLAN WILL ASK. 
          AND THAT IS, WELL HOW ARE YOU GONNA MEASURE THIS? I MEAN, IT'S A VERY GOOD THEORY, IT'S A VERY GOOD PHILOSOPHY, BUT THE DATA IS, IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS GOING TO SUPPORT WE, WE'LL MEASURE IT BY THE PRODUCTIVITY AND THEN WE'LL LOOK IN IN TIME. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THE PLAN HAS IS AN ANNUAL REVIEW. 
          WE COME BACK EVERY YEAR UNDER, I THINK IT'S SECTION FOUR NINE OF THE PLAN FOR AN ANNUAL REVIEW AND SAY WHAT'S WORKING AND WHAT ISN'T. 
          HERE'S WHAT THE DATA SAYS. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S CRITICAL IN A PLAN LIKE THIS IS THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND NOT BE RIGID AND SAY, HERE'S WHAT THE DATA SHOWS IS WORKING, HERE'S WHAT THE DATA SHOWS IS NOT WORKING. 
          AND IF YOU FOLLOW THE DATA AND IT'S NOT WORKING, THEN WE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND MAKE SURE WE STAY FLEXIBLE. 
          WELL, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE, UH, PRESENTATION AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE FORETHOUGHT IN BRINGING ABOUT THE CZ B STUDY AS WELL AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

          WE LEARNED THAT 
          [01:55:01]
IF WE DO NOTHING, LEAVE THE WAY IT IS WITH THE COST 7% WHILE THE REVENUE COME IN WITH CAPS ON 3.5% IN 10 YEARS.

          SO MY, I'M NEW TO THIS, BUT I HOPEFUL, AND I'M THINKING THIS FROM WHAT I SEE SO FAR IS REALLY GREAT. 
          I JUST HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH MY RESIDENTS AT FRIDAY COFFEE AND SHARE WITH THEM THE CHALLENGE, THE, THE FINANCIAL CHALLENGE THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND IN THERE THEY UNDERSTAND AND WE ARE READY TO SUPPORT THIS PLAN BECAUSE, UM, UM, WE NEED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. 
          AND THIS IS WHERE THEY WILL TAKE US, IS OTHERWISE IT IS, UM, IT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE. 
          SO THANK YOU AGAIN AND YOUR WHOLE STAFF THAT WORKED TIRELESSLY. 
          I KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF WORK, BUT ONE QUICK QUESTION, THE FOLLOW UP IS THIS, HOW IS THAT HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NOVEMBER TAX ELECTION? I SPOKE TO THIS ISSUE ON THE SATURDAY SESSION AND THEY KIND OF WORK HAND IN HAND. 
          SO THE NOVEMBER UH, RATE SWAP ELECTION ASKS US TO MOVE MONEY FROM THE DEBT SERVICE PART OF OUR BUDGET TO THE OPERATING PART OF OUR BUDGET, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME REDUCING THE OVERALL RATE TAX RATE. 
          IT ALLOWS US MORE ROOM IN OUR OPERATING BUDGET TO GIVE US MORE TIME AND MORE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO BOTH A, IMPLEMENT THE PLAN AND B, TO SUSTAIN THE SERVICE LEVELS THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO WHILE WE MAKE THESE STRUCTURAL CHANGES WHILE WE IMPROVE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS SO THAT THEY CAN SUPPORT THE SERVICES THAT OUR RESIDENTS WANT IN THE FUTURE. 
          SO THEY GO HAND IN HAND IN THAT WAY.

          THE NEW SLIDE APPEARS WITH A BLUE HEADER BAR AT THE TOP TITLED REVITALIZATION PROGRAM.

          THE FOURTH BULLET POINT READS, TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC, A SMALL NUMBER THREE IS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. 
          SO THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM INTENT WAS TO PRESERVE AND STRENGTHEN THE ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER OF DOWNTOWN, BE A ECONOMIC CATALYST TO BRING DEVELOPERS IN, AND ALSO TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT OUR BUILDINGS WERE SAFE FOR THE PUBLIC. 
          THE NEW SLIDE APPEARS WITH A GREEN HEADER BAR AT THE TOP TITLED CURRENT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM. 
          ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HEADER IS A WHITE CIRCULAR INTRICATE DESIGN. 
          THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLIDE LIST BULLET POINTS.

          A SMALL NUMBER FOUR IS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. 
          THE CURRENT PROGRAM IS A 50% REIMBURSEMENT GRANT TEXT, CURRENT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM. 
          IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, THERE IS A CIRCULAR INTRICATE DESIGN, A 50% REIMBURSEMENT GRANT, NO CAP OR LIMIT MUST BE IN THE DOWNTOWN HISTORIC SUBDISTRICT BUILDING OR ADDRESS. 
          MUST NOT HAVE RECEIVED FUNDS FROM THE PROGRAM IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

          CONSULTANT SLIDE NUMBER FOUR, AND THERE IS NO CAP OR LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT. 
          SO, UM, IT IS 50% OF THE APPROVED, UM, APPROVED IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PARTICULAR BUILDING. 
          UH, THE BUILDING MUST BE IN THE DOWNTOWN SUBDISTRICT, AND I WILL SHOW YOU A MAP OF THAT. 
          THE ADDRESS IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS UNTIL FIVE YEARS HAVE PASSED. 
          SO THEY CAN'T COME BACK THREE YEARS LATER AND ASK FOR ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. 
          UM, CURRENTLY IT IS INTERIOR EXTERIOR SIGNAGE AWNING, AND IT IS, UM, OVERSEEN BY A INTERNAL REVIEW COMMITTEE, WHICH EXISTS OF ONE PERSON FROM PLANNING, BUILDING, INSPECTIONS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND WE HAVE A HISTORICAL, UH, PRESERVATIONIST THAT COMES TO THOSE MEETINGS. 
          THE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT OFFICE IS THE FACILITATOR, BUT WE DON'T VOTE ON WHAT GETS APPROVED OR DOESN'T GET APPROVED.

          THE NUMBER SIX IS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SLIDE. 
          SO THE PROGRAM TO DATE HAS BEEN QUITE SUCCESSFUL. 
          WE HAVE, UH, PROVIDED FUNDS OR REIMBURSED FUNDS, UM, OVER A MILLION DOLLARS SINCE THE FIRST, UM, PER, UH, PER FIRST BUSINESS, UM, FINISHED THEIR PROJECT. 
          AND WE HAVE THREE, THREE OR FOUR IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW.

          AND IT'S REAL IMPORTANT ABOUT THESE TWO, UM, JIMMY WALLACE AND ALSO TACO ENO. 
          THEY REALLY ALMOST STRENGTHENED THE HISTORIC CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY REMOVED KIND OF THAT SLIP COVER, TOOK IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL BRICK. 
          LUCKILY THE ORIGINAL BRICK WAS IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE TO, UH, BE SAVED. 
          AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE DO HAVE THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE WE LITERALLY STRENGTHENED THOSE TWO BUILDINGS FOR THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION. 
          THE SLIDE TRANSITIONS TO A NEW SLIDE ON THE LEFT.

          SO, UM, AS THE STEWARDS OF THIS PRO PROGRAM FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, IT'S JUST COME TO LIGHT THAT A FEW UPDATES TO THE PROGRAM OR REFINEMENTS, UM, MIGHT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. 
          UM, OUR FIRST, UH, REQUEST IS THAT WE IMPLEMENT 150,000 REIMBURSEMENT MAXIMUM. 
          SO THAT'S A $300,000, UM, PROJECT THAT A BUILDING OWNER OR UM, TENANT MIGHT BE, UH, DOING WITH THE, UM, BUILDING AND THE REIMBURSEMENT PORTION WOULD BE 150. 
          JUST LET ME REMIND EVERYBODY, THERE ARE OTHER PROGRAMS OUT THERE, UM, IF THEY NEEDED TO HIT A HIGHER THRESHOLD, THERE ARE SOME OTHER PROGRAMS BESIDES THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION PROGRAM THAT COULD ASSIST AT A HIGHER LEVEL. 
          UM, OUR SECOND REQUEST IS THAT WE, UM, HAVE AT LEAST 25% OF THE PROJECT BE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THAT BUILDING. 
          KIND OF TAKING US BACK TO THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THIS PROGRAM, THAT FACADE, MAKING SURE WE STRENGTHEN THAT HISTORIC DISTRICT.

          PAGE 11. 
          AND THEN OUR THIRD REQUEST IS THAT WE ALLOW NON-TAX PRODUCING PROPERTIES TO ACTUALLY, UH, BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM IF IT WAS AGAIN, FOR THAT EXTERIOR OR FACADE OR A LIFE SAVING IMPROVEMENT, WHICH IS BASICALLY A FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM. 
          UM, IS WHAT THAT'S KIND OF BOILS DOWN TO. 
          THE SLIDE CHANGES TO A NEW TITLE IN TEXT.

          PAGE 12. 
          SO THIS WOULD BE THAT PROPOSED LANGUAGE, UH, THAT THE RESOLUTION WOULD READ. 
          UM, AGAIN, THAT 150,000 MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT. 
          THE REASON WHY WE FELT LIKE THIS WAS A VERY SUITABLE, UM, AMOUNT IS ONE, WE DID OUR DUE DILIGENCE WITH THE TEXAS DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION AND CHECKED WITH OTHER TOWNS IN TEXAS AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING. 
          AND WE FOUND THAT ABOUT 90% OF 'EM ARE AT A 25 OR $50,000 MAX CAPACITY. 
          UM, VERY, WE FOUND ONE OTHER THAT WAS AT ONE 50 AND ONE OTHER THAT HAD NO LIMIT LIKE WE CURRENTLY HAVE. 
          SO TO BE IN THE BEST PRACTICES AGAINST, UM, SOME OTHER CITIES IN THE STATE, WE FELT LIKE THIS MIGHT BE A MORE APPROPRIATE, UM, MOVE FOR US. 
          IT STILL ALLOWS US A LARGE REIMBURSEMENT. 
          SO IF YOU DID HAVE A DEVELOPER LOOKING AT A CITY, UM, THAT WAS OFFERING 25,000 AND WE ARE OFFERING 150, WE SHOULD STILL BE A VERY ATTRACTIVE CITY. 
          BUT GETTING US A LITTLE BIT MORE IN LINE, UM, WITH OUR OTHER, UH, DOWNTOWNS ACROSS THE STATE.

          12. 
          IT ALSO, UM, KEEPS ONE VERY LARGE PROJECT TAKING THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR THAT YEAR AND THEN EXHAUSTING IT TO WHERE OTHER POTENTIAL BUSINESSES COULDN'T USE IT FOR THAT PARTICULAR YEAR. 
          UM, THE OTHER THING THAT IT DOES IS IT, IT MAKES THE APPLICANT BE FOCUSED ON WHAT IT IS THAT THEY WANT TO DO TO THAT BUILDING. 
          THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, UH, ASK BEFORE THEY COME WITH THIS VERY LARGE KIND OF, UM, ASK. 
          AND, UM, SO IT JUST KIND OF FOCUSES THE PROJECT AND BRINGS IT BACK TO THAT ORIGINAL INTENT.

          SEVEN AND NON-TAX PRODUCING PROPERTY, INCLUDING A PROPERTY OWNED OR OCCUPIED BY A NONPROFIT OR TAX EXEMPT ENTITY MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM ONLY FOR THE FOLLOWING QUALIFYING IMPROVEMENTS.

          THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. 
          MY NAME'S MATT WATSON. 
          I'M THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS HERE AND I'M, UH, HERE NOT REALLY ASKING FOR ANY FORMAL ACTION HERE, BUT THIS IS, THIS IS JUST A PRESENTATION TO INFORM THE, THE PUBLIC AND, AND, AND YOU ALL ON WHAT THE ANNUAL RATE FILING PROCESS IS FOR ATMOS AND HOW THE CITY, UH, TYPICALLY USES, UH, ITS UH, ACCESS TO A STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH IS ANO ANOTHER 180 CITIES THAT ARE ALSO IN IT. 
          TO POOL OUR EFFORTS TO NEGOTIATE THESE RATES DOWN. 
          THE MAN SITS AT A DARK DESK, HE'S LOOKING FORWARD AND SPEAKING OCCASIONALLY GESTURING WITH HIS HANDS. 
          AN OPEN LAPTOP IS IN FRONT OF HIM ALONG WITH MICROPHONES TEXT WORK SESSION JUNE 15TH, 2026. 
          SO FIRST, A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON WHAT RATE REVIEW MECHANISM IS. 
          THE SLIDE APPEARS COVERING MOST OF THE SCREEN. 
          THE SLIDE HAS A GREEN HEADER OF THE LIGHT GRAY BACKGROUND TEXT BACKGROUND. 
          WHY RATE REVIEW MECHANISM RRM EXISTS IN 2003, THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE CREATED THE GAS RELIABILITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM, GRIP, ALLOWING GAS UTILITIES TO RECOVER INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS THROUGH ANNUAL RATE INCREASES. 
          CITIES OPPOSED GRIP BECAUSE IT FOCUSES PRIMARILY ON CAPITAL INVESTMENTS AND DOES NOT FULLY CONSIDER FACTORS THAT MAY OFFSET TRADE INCREASES SUCH AS CUSTOMER GROWTH, INCREASED REVENUES, OR DECLINING EXPENSES. 
          CITIES HAVE LIMITED ABILITY TO CHALLENGE THE REASONABLENESS OF COSTS INCLUDED IN A-G-R-I-P FILING. 
          IN 2008, THE ATMOS CITY STEERING COMMITTEE, A CSC AND ATMOS ENERGY NEGOTIATED THE RATE REVIEW MECHANISM. 
          RRM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO G-R-I-P-D-R-R-M PROVIDES ATMOS WITH AN ANNUAL RATE REVIEW PROCESS WHILE PRESERVING LOCAL GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT AND INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF UTILITY COSTS. 
          TODAY APPROXIMATELY 180 TEXAS CITIES PARTICIPATE IN A CSC AND THE RRM PROCESS ALL REALLY STARTED IN 
          [02:45:01]
2003 WHEN THE TEXAS LEGISLATION CREATED THE GAS RELIABILITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM, WHICH IS MOST COMMONLY CALLED GRIP, ALLOWING UTILITIES TO RECOVER IN INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT THROUGH ANNUAL RATE INCREASES. 
          AND THIS LEGISLATION WAS PASSED MOSTLY TO PROVIDE, UM, NATURAL GAS COMPANIES LIKE ATMOS, THE ABILITY TO MAKE INVESTMENT AND RECOVER THE COST OF THEIR INVESTMENTS QUICKLY SO THAT THEY COULD HAVE IN, IN HOPES OF A MORE SAFE AND RELIABLE SERVICE. 
          AFTER THAT, UH, LEGISLATION WENT INTO EFFECT, THOUGH MANY CITIES DID START WONDERING HOW DO WE GET INTO A PROCESS WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY REVIEW THESE AND NEGOTIATE THESE RATES. 
          BECAUSE AT THE UNDER THE GRIP, THE ONLY THING THAT'S REALLY LOOKED AT IS WHAT WERE THEIR INVESTMENTS AND THEY'RE ALLOWED TO RECOVER REVENUES THROUGH RATE PAYERS, OFF INVESTMENTS. 
          BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. 
          HOW MUCH DID CUSTOMERS GO UP? HOW MUCH DID EXPENDITURES GO UP OR DOWN? WHAT IS OTHER REVENUES THEY'RE RECEIVING? SO THERE'S MORE THINGS WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A FINANCIAL FINANCIALLY LOOKING AT YOUR RATES OUTSIDE OF JUST CAPITAL INVESTMENTS. 
          SO IN 2008 THE ATNA CITY STEERING COMMITTEE WAS BORN. 
          IT'S ABOUT 180 CITIES THAT ARE IN THIS, UH, STEERING COMMITTEE AND GARLAND IS ONE OF THEM. 
          AND WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE WHAT'S CALLED THE RATE REVIEW MECHANISM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THIS GRIP PROCESS. 
          AND SO WHAT THIS DOES IS THE RRM PROVIDES AT WITH AN ANNUAL RATE REVIEW PROCESS WHILE PRESERVING LOCAL GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT. 
          AND IT ALLOWS US TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THESE UTILITY COSTS. 
          TEXT BACKGROUND KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RRM AND GRIP PROCESS. 
          THE TABLE COMPARES RRM AND G-R-I-P-R-R-M. 
          REVIEW AND VERIFY GRIP FILE AND RECOVER. 
          RRM FULL COST OF SERVICE REVIEW, GRIP CAPITAL INVESTMENT ONLY. 
          RRM EVALUATES REVENUES, EXPENSES AND INVESTMENT. 
          GRIP EVALUATES INVESTMENT ONLY. 
          RRM, INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW. 
          GRIP LIMITED REVIEW. 
          RRM NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT. 
          GRIP, NO NEGOTIATION. 
          RRM, LOCAL GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT, GRIP LIMITED CITY ROLE. 
          RRM. 
          POTENTIAL REDUCTIONS TO REQUESTED INCREASE GRIP CITIES CANNOT CHALLENGE REASONABLENESS OF COST. 
          PAGE THREE. 
          SO HERE'S JUST KIND OF A OVERALL ARCHING SIDE BY SIDE TO THE RATE REVIEW MECHANISM, WHICH THE CITY OF GARLAND IS A PART OF AND THE ORIGINAL GRIP PROCESS. 
          SO WHAT R RM PROVIDES IS THE ABILITY FOR US IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE OTHER 180 CITIES TO REVIEW AND VERIFY COST WITHIN THEIR FILING. 
          IT ALSO PROVIDES US WITH A FULL COST OF SERVICE REVIEW, NOT JUST LOOKING AT CAPITAL INVESTMENTS ONLY. 
          SO WE ARE ABLE TO EVALUATE REVENUES, EXPENSES, AND INVESTMENTS. 
          NOT ONLY JUST LOOKING AT THE INVESTMENTS ONLY, WHICH IS IN THE GRIP PROCESS. 
          SO THROUGH THIS UM, STEERING COMMITTEE, WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO PULL OUR RESOURCES WITH THE OTHER 180 CITIES TO HIRE INDEPENDENT ENGINEERS, LAWYERS, FINANCIAL REVIEW. 
          AND UNDER THE GRIP THERE WOULD BE VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A CITY. 
          SO WE'RE ABLE TO GET INTO A NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS RATHER THAN NO NEGOTIATION UNDER THE GRIP. 
          AND THIS ALSO PROVIDES US LOCAL GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT AND A VERY STRONG POTENTIAL TO REDUCE THE ORIGINAL FILING THAT ATMOS PUTS IN ANNUALLY. 
          TEXT BACKGROUND, ATMO CITY STEERING COMMITTEE RATES COMPARED TO OTHERS. 
          TEXT RATE REVIEW MECHANISM SAVINGS OVER GRIP TABLE WAS COLUMNS A CSC CITIES AVERAGE BILL COMPARED TO CSC CITIES ROSE, A CSC CITIES DALLAS, ATM. 
          CITIES IN BYRONS AND INCORPORATED ARE RURAL TEXT NOTE 1 20 25 RATES. 
          HERE'S A LOOK AT, UM, A CS CUSTOMER CITIES AVERAGE BILL COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OF THE OTHER COALITIONS AND ALSO DALLAS THAT. 
          SO DALLAS ACTUALLY GOES AND AND NEGOTIATES SPECIFICALLY FOR JUST CITY OF DALLAS RESIDENTS. 
          AGAIN, WE ARE IN THE AT CITY STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH IS ABOUT 180 CITIES IN THE MID TEXT REGIONS. 
          MOST MOSTLY NORTH TEXAS. 
          THE ROWS OF THE TABLE ARE A CSC CITIES WITH AN AVERAGE BILL OF $54 AND 68 CENTS. 
          DALLAS WITH AN AVERAGE BILL OF $58 AND 57 CENTS AND $3 AND 89 CENTS COMPARED TO A CSC CITIES. 
          ATM CITIES WITH AN AVERAGE BILL OF $57 AND 39 CENTS AND $2 AND 71 CENTS COMPARED TO A CSC CITIES AND ENVIRONS UNINCORPORATED A RURAL WITH AN AVERAGE BILL OF $55 AND 96 CENTS AND $1 AND 28 CENTS COMPARED TO A CSC. 
          CITIES TEXT A CSC. 
          CITIES LIKE GARLAND MAINTAIN AN ECONOMIC 
          [02:50:01]
MONTHLY ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER CITIES DUE TO THE NEGOTIATED RATE REVIEW MECHANISM. 
          THE ATM CITIES IS REALLY ANOTHER COALITION THAT'S, UH, IN SOUTH TEXAS. 
          AND THEN THERE'S ALSO JUST THE UNINCORPORATED RURAL ENTITIES WHO REALLY ARE JUST UNDER THE GRIP PROCESS. 
          AND THIS IS THE RATES FROM 2025 FOR AN AVERAGE BILL FOR RESIDENTS. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THROUGH OUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE RATE REVIEW MECHANISM WE HAD TRADITIONALLY AND BEEN ABLE TO HAVE OUR RATES A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN EVERYONE ELSE BASED OFF OF THIS NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT. 
          THE VIDEO TRANSITIONS TO A NEW SLIDE. 
          TITLE 2026 ATMOS RATE FILE. 
          THE TIMELINE LABELED RRM TIMELINE IS DISPLAYED HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE SLIDE THAT SHOWS KEY DATES AND EVENTS ON APRIL 1ST. 
          ATMOS ENERGY FILES. 
          THE RRM AND A CSC REVIEW PERIOD BEGINS IN MAY. 
          CUSTOMERS RECEIVE NOTICE OF THE RRM FILING IN AUGUST. 
          SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS IN SEPTEMBER. 
          RRM IS PRESENTED A CSC CITIES FOR APPROVAL ON SEPTEMBER 30TH. 
          A CSC REVIEW PERIOD ENDS ON OCTOBER 1ST. 
          RATES ARE IMPLEMENTED BELOW THE TIMELINE. 
          THERE ARE FOUR BULLET POINTS. 
          THE FIRST BULLET POINT READS 2026 FILING WOULD INCREASE ATMOS MID TEXT DIVISION REVENUE BY $291.1 MILLION COMPARED TO ATMOS 177.7 MILLION REQUEST IN 2025 AND 143.1 MILLION IN 2024. 
          THE SECOND BULLET POINT READS, PROPOSED IMPACT ON AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER IS $14 AND 94 CENTS PER MONTH COMPARED TO $9 AND 34 CENTS IN 2025 AND $6 AND 77 CENTS IN 2024. 
          THE THIRD BULLET POINT READS, ATMOS FILING REPORTS $1.8 BILLION INVESTED IN MID TEXT DIVISION WITH 85% OF INVESTMENT ASSOCIATED WITH SAFETY AND RELIABILITY PROJECTS. 
          THE FOURTH BULLET POINT READS, CITIES ARE NOT ENTITLED TO CHALLENGE ANY PORTION OF A-G-R-I-P FILING IS UNREASONABLE. 
          A CSC NEGOTIATED OF RRM WITH ATMOS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR GRIP. 
          THE RRM HAS NO EXISTENCE IN STATUTES AND EXISTS ONLY PURSUANT TO CITY ORDINANCES. 
          SO HERE'S THE AN IMPORTANT TIMELINE. 
          SO, UH, THE ATMOS ENERGY USUALLY FILES THEIR RRM AROUND APRIL 1ST, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE THIS YEAR AS WELL. 
          AND THEN IN MAY, CUSTOMERS RECEIVE A NOTICE OF THE RRM FILING IN AUGUST IS WHEN THE SETTLEMENTS WILL START AND WHEN I WILL BE BACK IS MORE THAN LIKELY IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THE STEERING COMMITTEE CITIES WE'LL BEGIN LOOKING AT, IN NEGOTIATING, UH, THE, THE RATE REVIEW MECHANISM. 
          AND BY SEPTEMBER 30TH THERE WILL BE A REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION TO JOIN IN WITH THESE OTHER CITIES TO NEGOTIATE THESE RATES DOWN. 
          UH, DO NOT KNOW WHAT THOSE RATES WILL BE AT THIS TIME 'CAUSE WE'RE OBVIOUSLY IN THE MIDDLE OF NEGOTIATIONS, BUT WE'LL USUALLY TRADITIONALLY HAVE BROUGHT IT FORWARD ON A WORK SESSION BRIEFING AND THEN FOR A FORMAL APPROVAL, UM, AFTERWARDS, TEXT PAGE FIVE. 
          AND THEN THOSE, UH, RATES TYPICALLY GO INTO EFFECT OCTOBER 1ST. 
          WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT THIS YEAR, AS YOU'LL SEE IN 2026, UM, ATMOS MID TEXAS ASKED FOR REVENUE OF 291.1 MILLION TO COVER THEIR INVESTMENTS. 
          AND AS YOU CAN SEE, COMPARED TO 2025, THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. 
          IT WAS 177.7 MILLION AND 25, AND IN 24 IT WAS 143.1 MILLION. 
          SO THE PROPOSED IMPACT, IF WE WERE JUST TO FOLLOW THE GRIP PROCESS, IS $14 AND 94 CENTS PER MONTH IN 2026 COMPARED TO WHAT THEY FOLLOWED FOR IN 25 WAS $9 AND 34, AND IN 24 WAS 6 77. 
          SO WHAT WHAT THIS IS REALLY MAKING UP FOR IS THEY HAVE IN THEIR FILINGS HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS $1.8 BILLION, MOSTLY RELATED TO SAFETY AND RELIABILITY PROJECTS ON PIPELINES IN THE REGION. 
          THAT AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO BE, UM, FAIRLY BIG STICKER SHOP FOR RESIDENTS. 
          I BELIEVE THAT'S ALMOST A 25% INCREASE. 
          SO WE WILL BE WORKING AGAIN WITH THE RATE REVIEW MECHANISM TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE THOSE RATES DOWN. 
          ONE IMPORTANT THING THOUGH IS WE CAN'T REALLY CHALLENGE ANY OF THE FILINGS UNDER THE GRIP. 
          WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS NEGOTIATE THROUGH THIS RATE REVIEW MECHANISM AND, UM, UTILIZE CITY ORDINANCES COLLECTIVELY WITH THE OTHER 180 CITIES TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE THOSE DOWN. 
          SO THAT'S GOING TO BE THE PROCESS AGAIN THIS YEAR. 
          AND AGAIN, I WILL BE BACK IN SEPTEMBER WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THOSE OTHER 180 CITIES INCLUDING US AND THROUGH THE LAWYERS AND THE FINANCIAL REVIEW PROCESS TO GET THE NEGOTIATION WITH ATMOS. 
          SO WHERE THE CRITICAL DATES WILL BE AT SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER, WE'LL BE BACK TO DISCUSS THOSE AND THEN HOPEFULLY FORMAL APPROVAL IN THE LAST MEETING OF SEPTEMBER.

          THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN ON DYLAN HEDRICK, WHO IS SEATED AT THE TABLE WITH A LAPTOP IN FRONT OF HIM. 
          HE LOOKS DOWN AT THE LAPTOP, THEN PICKS UP A STACK OF PAPERS FROM HIS RIGHT. 
          I'M GONNA STAY UP HERE FOR THIS ONE. 
          BUT, UH, JACOB ACTON AND OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT'S GOING TO JOIN US BECAUSE, UM, MIKE, MR. BETS WAS TALKING A LOT ABOUT DATA EARLIER. 
          AND THIS IS THE GUY THAT'S GOT A LOT OF DATA. 
          TEXT JUNE 15TH, 2026, THE MAN LOOKS UP GESTURES WITH BOTH HANDS AND THEN FOLDS HIS ARMS ON THE TABLE SMILING. 
          ANOTHER PERSON IS VISIBLE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FRAME, ALSO SMILING. 
          AND, UM, THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY A, A GREAT AND IT'S IN THE NAME AND THE TITLE ON THIS ONE. 
          I RARELY GET TO PRESENT ON ANYTHING THAT'S, UH, A POSITIVE, BUT THIS ONE IS A VERY MUCH A POSITIVE THERE 'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR US IN THE TIMING OF WHAT Y'ALL JUST APPROVED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THE HOUSING STUDIES AND THE UH, UM, FOCUS AREAS. 
          BECAUSE THIS PLAYS INTO MAY GIVING US A POTENTIAL FOR OPPORTUNITY TO BRING PRIVATE INVESTMENT WITHIN THOSE ZONES THAT Y'ALL JUST DESIGNATED. 
          SO IT WAS GOOD TIMING. 
          TWO MEN ARE SEATED AT A DARK WOODEN TABLE.

          JUNE 15TH, 2026. 
          THE SCREEN BEHIND A MEN TRANSITIONS TO A PRESENTATION SLIDE. 
          SO TO START, WHAT IS AN OPPORTUNITY ZONE? AND ON THAT MAP YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE FEDERALLY DESIGNATED CENSUS TRACKS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME OPPORTUNITY ZONES. 
          SO WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY ZONE DOES IS PROVIDE TAX BREAKS, FEDERAL TAX BREAKS FOR POTENTIAL INVESTMENTS WITHIN THESE ZONES. 
          AND REALLY WHAT IT IS, IT GIVES AN INVESTOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE A TAX BREAK ON CAPITAL GAINS TAX, WHICH IS A SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT FOR SOMEBODY THAT IS WILLING TO INVEST A LOT OF MONEY IN THE CENSUS. 
          TRACK TEXT OPPORTUNITY ZONES OVERVIEW TEXT. 
          THE CURRENT OPPORTUNITY ZONE PROGRAM IS AUTHORIZED THROUGH 2037, PROVIDING A ROUGHLY 10 YEAR WINDOW FOR COMMUNITIES TO ATTRACT AND LEVERAGE PRIVATE INVESTMENT. 
          THE CITY OF GARLAND IS ELIGIBLE TO SUBMIT 10 TRACKS FOR CONSIDERATION. 
          THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS JUNE 26TH, 2026. 
          AN AERIAL MAP OF THE CITY AREA IS DISPLAYED ON THE RIGHT WITH SEVERAL IRREGULAR LIGHT BLUE SHADED POLYGONS I INDICATING SPECIFIC ZONES TEXT. 
          A LEGEND ON THE MAP IS TITLED POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY ZONE TRACKS. 
          BELOW THE TITLE. 
          A SMALL BLUE SQUARE IS LABELED OPPORTUNITY ZONES TEXT PAGE NUMBER TWO IS VISIBLE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. 
          AND THE INTENT REALLY IS, IS JUST FOR UNDERUTILIZED AREAS TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET REAL PRIVATE INVESTMENT. 
          SO FROM THAT PROCESS, TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DESIGNATES THE CENSUS TRACKS AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE DESIGNATED BASED OFF OF LOW INCOME AFFORDABILITY AND MEETING INCOME LEVELS. 
          AND FROM THERE THEY USUALLY TURN IT OVER TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. 
          AND THE GOVERNOR OFFICE THEN CAN PICK 25% OF ALL THE TOTAL CENSUS TRACK AREAS TO DESIGNATE AS, UH, NOMINATIONS TO THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT, 
          [03:00:01]
BACK TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO START RECEIVING THESE ABILITIES TO HAVE PRIVATE INVESTMENT. 
          THE LAST TIME THIS WAS DONE WAS IN 2013 AND WE ONLY GOT ONE DESIGNATION. 
          AND AT THAT TIME THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE DID NOT ASK FOR ANY INPUT. 
          THEY JUST SIMPLY CHOSE BASED OFF OF THEIR OWN METHODOLOGY. 
          AND THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF A LOT OF BACKLASH THAT I, A LOT OF THE CITIES BACK TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, THEY'RE ALLOWING US TO PUT IN UP TO 10 CENSUS TRACKS FOR NOMINATION. 
          AND SO WE HAVE SPENT SOME TIME, WE'VE GONE DOWN TO AUSTIN, WE'VE TALKED TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE 'CAUSE WE WANTED ONE FOR THEM TO SEE OUR FACES AND TO SHOW WE WERE SERIOUS. 
          AND TWO, WE WANTED TO GET SOME INSIDE, UM, INTEL ON EXACTLY WHAT THEY'LL BE LOOKING FOR IN THEIR PROCESS. 
          ONE OF THE CRITICAL DATES IS, IS WE HAVE TO SUBMIT OUR CENSUS TRACK DESIGNATIONS BY JUNE 26TH. 
          WE ARE ON A TIGHT TIMEFRAME AND WHY WE'RE PRESENTING THIS TO YOU HERE TONIGHT IS ONE IS TO GET YOUR INPUT ON, ON THE CENSUS TRACKS AND EXPLAIN HOW WE CHOSE THEM. 
          AND TWO IS TOMORROW NIGHT. 
          WE ARE, UH, REQUESTING A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT TO SEND IN WITH OUR APPLICATION TO, UH, THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TO HELP SUPPORT OUR CLAIM FOR, UH, INCLUSION OF THESE TEXT OPPORTUNITY ZONES ARE FEDERALLY DESIGNATED CENSUS TRACKS CREATED TO ENCOURAGE PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND ECONOMICALLY DISTRESSED COMMUNITIES. 
          GOVERNORS NOMINATE ELIGIBLE TRACKS AND THE US TREASURY APPROVES FINAL DESIGNATIONS. 
          INVESTORS CAN RECEIVE FEDERAL TAX BENEFITS WHEN THEY REINVEST CAPITAL GAINS INTO QUALIFIED OPPORTUNITIES ZONE PROJECTS. 
          THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ATTRACT NEW INVESTMENT, CREATE JOBS, AND SUPPORT LONG-TERM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          THE SLIDE TRANSITIONS TO A NEW PAGE, STILL TITLED OPPORTUNITY ZONES OVERVIEW. 
          SO BACK TO THE PRIOR, UH, CENSUS TRACK WHERE THAT STAR IS ON THAT MAP. 
          TEXT GARLAND'S PREVIOUS OPPORTUNITY ZONE TRACK HAD LIMITED REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL, WHICH LIMITED OVERALL IMPACT AND UTILIZATION. 
          THE SCORING TABLE BELOW OUTLINES THE CRITERIA USED FOR NOMINATIONS. 
          USING THIS FRAMEWORK, THE CITY IS FOCUSING ON STRONGER HIGHER IMPACT TRACKS IN THE NEXT ROUND TO BETTER DRIVE INVESTMENT, REDEVELOPMENT AND REVITALIZATION. 
          THE TABLE HAS COLUMNS TITLED CATEGORY POINTS AND CRITERIA. 
          THE FIRST RULE LISTS LOCAL SUPPORT UP TO FOUR POINTS AND LOCAL INCENTIVES, COMMUNITY PRIORITIES AND ROLES. 
          THE SECOND ROLE LIST PROJECT VIABILITY UP TO FOUR POINTS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, SHOVEL-READY PROJECTS. 
          THE THIRD ROLE LIST, GEOGRAPHICAL BALANCE UP TO TWO POINTS AND RURAL DECLARED DISASTER. 
          PAGE NUMBER THREE IS VISIBLE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. 
          THE MAP OF THE CITY SHOWS LIGHT BLUE SHADED OPPORTUNITY ZONES WITH A YELLOW STAR ICON. 
          NOW VISIBLE WITHIN ONE OF THE LARGER BLUE SHADED AREAS. 
          THAT IS OUR CURRENT OPPORTUNITY ZONE FROM OPPORTUNITIES, UH, FROM THE LAST DESIGNATION. 
          UM, WE ARE, UM, RIGHT NOW WANTING TO PUT IN A REQUEST FOR 10 MORE. 
          AND HERE'S A LOOK AT HOW THEY, THEY SCORE THESE. 
          SO WITH LOCAL SUPPORT, WHICH BACK TO WHY WE WERE ASKING FOR A RESOLUTION AND COMMUNITY PRIORITIES AND GOALS, WHICH WE CAN POINT BACK TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND ALL THE DATA AND STUDIES THAT WE'VE DONE, YOU CAN GET UP TO FOUR POINTS FOR LOCAL SUPPORT. 
          AND THEN PROJECT VIABILITY. 
          THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SHOVEL READY PROJECTS. 
          THEY WANT THIS, THIS TIME AROUND FOR TEXAS TO SHOW REAL INVESTMENT IN THESE ZONES. 
          SO WE ALSO WENT AND LOOKED THROUGH WHERE OUR PROJECTS THAT ARE SHOVEL READY, WHERE DO WE OWN LARGE TRACKS OF LAND? WHERE DO WE KNOW WHERE WE HAVE DEALS CLOSE TO BEING DONE. 
          SO WE ALSO USE THAT TO FACTOR IN 'CAUSE YOU CAN GET UP TO FOUR POINTS THERE THEN. 
          AND SINCE IT'S A FEDERAL PROGRAM, UM, THEY DO ALSO O OPEN IT UP FOR TWO MORE POINTS FOR WHAT IS AREAS THAT ARE DECLARED DISASTER OR THAT ARE RURAL. 
          SO WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT DALLAS COUNTY AS A WHOLE, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE UP TO 58 CENSUS TRACKS CHOSEN IN DALLAS COUNTY. 
          SO WE'RE ASKING FOR 10, WHICH IS A LOT, BUT JUST TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, THERE'LL BE 58 CENSUS TRACKS IN DALLAS COUNTY THAT WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET NOMINATIONS. 
          SO WE ARE, UH, FIGHTING WITH EVERY OTHER CITY AND ALSO THE COUNTY TO GET THOSE DESIGNATIONS. 
          SO THE MORE COMPETITIVE WE CAN BE, THE BETTER TEXT OPPORTUNITY ZONES. 
          PROPOSED TRACKS FOR NOMINATION. 
          THE SATELLITE MAP SHOWS AN AREA WITH VARIOUS TRACKS. 
          SOME TRACKS ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN LABELED AS PROPOSED TRACKS AND OTHERS ARE IN LIGHT GRAY LABELED AS TRACKS CURRENTLY NOT SELECTED.

          [03:05:01]
PLANS, FOR INSTANCE IN HARBOR POINT SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A STRONG CASE AND SEND IN ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE. 
          SO THE AREAS IN GREEN ARE THE ONES STAFF HAS, ARE COMING FORWARD TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL. 
          THE SATELLITE MAP OF A CITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS IS DISPLAYED WITH A LARGE BODY OF WATER ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

          SO JUST GOING THROUGH THE LISTING, UM, WE DO HAVE TO PUT THESE IN PRIORITY ORDER. 
          AND SO THESE ARE, THIS IS THE ORDER THAT, UH, STAFF HAS PUT TOGETHER, AGAIN, BASED OFF OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

          AND SO THE INCOME IN THAT TRACT, UM, IT'S KIND OF A PIECE OF ODD GEOGRAPHY BECAUSE, UM, THE INCOME'S NOT, UM, EXORBITANTLY HIGH PER SE, BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT LOWER THAN THE MEDIAN, UM, PER SE. 
          BUT THEY HAVE OTHER METRICS IN THERE THAT I BELIEVE WERE ALONG, UM, UNEMPLOYMENT, UM, AS WELL AS, UM, A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS LIKE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON ASSISTANCE AND A FEW OTHER METRICS THAT THEY WERE USING. 
          AND THIS ONE MET ENOUGH OF THEM THAT IT JUST BARELY QUAL QUALIFIED. 
          UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT'S, IT'S IN THERE. 
          WE WERE REALLY KIND OF SHOCKED TO SEE IT IN THERE. 
          UM, AND SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE, WE FIGURED IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT IF IT'S AN OPTION, UM, BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF NOT BEING ABLE TO BE QUALIFIED.

          THE TRACK IS EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT AND REZONING, INCLUDING A PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY COMMUNITY NORTH OF ROWLETT AND TWO MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS TO THE EAST. 
          AND SO WE ALSO KNOW THAT OPPORTUNITY ZONES, A COUPLE OF THE, THE PRIMARY PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN USED, IT'S BEEN USED IN IS MULTIFAMILY HOTEL AND A FEW INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS. 
          AND SO WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DEVELOPABLE LAND IN THAT TRACT AS WELL, UM, KIND OF IN A FEW INFILL AREAS. 
          SO IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO ATTRACT INVESTMENT BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE THE SPACE TO DO SO. 
          UM, SOME OF THOSE OTHER ONES, UM, THERE SOME SPACE ALONG, UM, KIND OF SAY LIKE FOREST OR UM, NORTH ON JUPITER. 
          UM, THAT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE A HEAVY LIFT IN TERMS OF, UM, REDEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO FIGHT WITH EXISTING PROPERTY OWNERS AS OPPOSED TO, UM, EITHER GREENFIELD INFILL OR SITES THAT THE CITY ALREADY OWNS. 
          AND SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE FELT THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF A HARDER ASK. 
          UM, BECAUSE THE OTHER AREAS OUTSIDE OF THAT ARE MOSTLY SINGLE FAMILY, UM, OR MULTIFAMILY THAT WOULD BE REALLY HARD TO REDEVELOP.

          10 MM-HMM . 
          UM, I, I WOULD SAY THAT THE, THE DIFFICULT PART ON THAT IS, UM, THAT IT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF PROJECTS YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT.

          AND SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT, IT, IT WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY. 
          BUT THERE'S, THERE'S KIND OF SOME STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT ARE BEYOND JUST MONETARY ISSUES, UM, THAT THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THOSE AREAS.

          A MAN WITH SHORT GRAY HAIR RESTS HIS GIN ON HIS HAND.

          I LOOKED AT WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE I LOOKED AT IN ALL KINDS OF PLACES AND I, I COULD FIND NO INFORMATION.

          THE ISSUE FOR OUR CURRENT EXISTING OPPORTUNITY ZONE IS, UM, REALLY THERE ARE MAYBE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, MAYBE ABOUT FOUR TRACKS THAT WOULD BE OF SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH SIZE TO WARRANT UTILIZING THE OPPORTUNITY ZONE STATUS. 
          UM, THREE OF WHICH ARE ALREADY DEVELOPED. 
          ONE IS AN UNDEVELOPED ABOUT 11 ACRES PIECE OF LAND THAT'S VERY, VERY AWKWARDLY SITUATED, UM, ALONG THE CURVE OF KINGSLEY ROAD, UM, JUST AFTER CENTERVILLE.

          OH, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY SPOT THAT'S GREENFIELD IN THAT, IN THAT TRACT. 
          THE OTHER ONES ARE, UH, MOSTLY SHOPPING CENTERS. 
          AND IF YOU LOOK AT THEM, UM, THEY'RE MOSTLY FUNCTIONAL, THEY ARE OCCUPIED. 
          UM, AND THEY, BECAUSE OF THAT LEVEL OF OCCUPANCY AND THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE EXISTING RENTS, UM, MOST DEVELOPERS WOULD NOT LOOK AT THAT AND SAY, I'M WILLING TO BUY OUT THE RENTS AND THEN PUT SOMETHING ON TOP OF IT. 
          UM, AND SO THAT, THAT, THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN VERY MUCH OPPORTUNITY. 
          UM, ACTUALLY TAKEN TEXT 101.34 TRACT INCLUDES THE MISSILE SITE, A 1.7 ACRE PARCEL OWNED BY THE GARETH FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPMENT TRACT IS EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT PRESSURE, INCLUDING A PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY COMMUNITY NORTH OF TRACT 100, ONE POINT 34, AND A MULTI-FAMILY PROJECT TO THE EAST.

          AND, AND THAT ALSO GOES BACK TO WHAT KIND OF MATT WAS SAYING, UM, WHENEVER THESE WERE PREVIOUSLY DESIGNATED, UH, THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE BASICALLY DID IT WITH ZERO INPUT FROM CITIES MM-HMM . 
          AND SO THEY'RE REQUESTING OUR INPUT THIS TIME. 
          AND PART OF THAT WAS BECAUSE TEXAS REALLY DID SEE LOWER UTILIZATION OF THIS PROGRAM THAN A LOT OF OTHER STATES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TO GO AND ASK FOR ACTUAL INPUT TEXT.

          COUNCIL MEMBER DUTTON, THE CAMERA SHIFTS TO SHOW TWO MEN SEATED AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE. 
          BEHIND THEM ON A WOODEN WALL IS A LARGE CIRCULAR SEAL THAT READS CITY OF GARLAND, TEXAS. 
          THE VIEW RETURNS TO THE PREVIOUS WIDE SHOT OF THE MEETING TABLE SHOWING THE SAME INDIVIDUALS. 
          I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ON, UM, 1 78 POINT TEXT OT, DEPUTY PROBATE TAX PRO DISTRICT ONE TEXT MARGARET LUCK, PROBATE TAX PRO DISTRICT 8 0 8. 
          YES. 
          UM, AND ON THE VERY, VERY BOTTOM ON THE TIPPING WHEEL. 
          OH YES, YES, YES. 
          LIKE ALMOST NOT IN GARLAND. 
          YES. 
          UM, SO AND I UNDERSTAND, UM, WHY IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PICKED FOR THIS CYCLE. 
          UM, IS THAT MAYBE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK AT WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THAT, UM, KROGER IS LOCATED THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. 
          AND SO WE REALLY HAVE LIKE, UM, A GROCERY, UM, DESERT DOWN THERE. 
          AND SO THE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA ARE HAVING TO GO, UM, TO SUNNYVALE OR ELSEWHERE TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING. 
          TEXT OTT, DEPUTY MAYOR, PRO TEM, DISTRICT FOUR, A WOMAN IN A PINK SHIRT IS SPEAKING, LOOKING TOWARDS THE LEFT. 
          A MAN IN A BLACK POLO SHIRT LOOKS AT HIS MONITOR. 
          A MAN IN A PURPLE SHIRT LOOKS DOWN AT THE TABLE IN THE BACKGROUND, A WOMAN IN A PATTERNED SHIRT AND A MAN IN A WHITE SHIRT WITH SUNGLASSES ARE SEATED. 
          SO I THINK THAT WITHOUT PAYING SOME KIND OF ATTENTION TO THAT, UM, IS KIND OF A MISSED MARK FOR US, UM, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEEDING TO CAPTURE MORE, UM, SALES TAX REVENUE. 
          AND SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S ON SOMEONE'S RADAR SOMEWHERE. 
          UH, IT'S DEFINITELY ON OUR RADAR. 
          UH, TWO MEN ARE SEATED AT A BLACK TABLE WITH MICROPHONES. 
          A LARGE SCREEN BEHIND HIM DISPLAYS A MAP WITH VARIOUS COLORED SECTIONS. 
          JACOB ACTON IN A LIGHT BLUE BUTTON UP SHIRT, LISTENS LY OCCASIONALLY TOUCHING HIS FACE. 
          SO ONE OF THE THINGS WITH THAT SPECIFIC CENSUS TRACT, AND THIS IS PART OF THE REASON WHY WE DIDN'T INCLUDE IT, IS BECAUSE THE BULK OF THAT CENSUS TRACT IS ACTUALLY A MESQUITE. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE GEOGRAPHIC REGION, IT IS, IT ENCOMPASSES A LARGE SECTION IN, IN MESQUITE COUNCIL MEMBER JOE THOMAS JR. 
          GESTURES WITH HIS RIGHT HAND AS HE SPEAKS, JACOB ACTON LOOKS AT HIS LAPTOP, THEN TURNS HIS HEAD TO LOOK AT COUNCIL MEMBER THOMAS. 
          AND SO FOR US IT WAS A VERY, VERY TINY SLIVER. 
          UM, AND THOUGH IT DOES HAVE A SHOPPING CENTER IN IT, UM, THE BULK OF THE, THE, THE SPACE AND THE BENEFIT WOULD END UP GOING TO A DIFFERENT CITY, WHICH WAS THE REASON WHY WE CHOSE TO TO NOT INCLUDE THAT ONE. 
          UM, BUT YES, UH, THAT, THAT SHOPPING CENTER'S DEFINITELY ON OUR LIST. 
          I KNOW THAT THEY, UH, YEAH, THEY'RE, WE'VE BEEN BANGING DOWN THEIR DOORS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROPERTY OWNER'S PLANS ARE. 
          SO BECAUSE THEY'RE CHIPOTLE BUT WE NEED TO KEEP CHIPOTLE IN BUSINESS. 
          . 
          YEP. 
          YEP. 
          I'LL JUST SAY AGAIN THIS IS JUST ONE TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX TEXT CHRIS OTT, DEPUTY MAYOR, PRO TEM, DISTRICT SEVEN TEXT CARISSA SUTTON, TEXT MARGARET LT DISTRICT SIX. 
          SO WE UH, AGAIN, WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE PICKED THE ONES, UM, THAT HAD THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF BEING SELECTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, BUT JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT SELECTED, THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS IN OUR TOOLBOX. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU.
