[IV.C. Presentation of Main Street America Program Accreditation. (Kearney) ]

SINCE 1996, $90 MILLION HAS BEEN INVESTED IN DOWNTOWN SALINA THROUGH $30 MILLION OF PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND $60 MILLION OF CITY PROJECTS. MORE THAN 90 BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN RECRUITED, EXPANDED OR RETAINED. 375 NEW JOBS HAVE BEEN CREATED, AND VOLUNTEERS HAVE SERVED 38,000 HOURS. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL, DOWNTOWN COMMISSION, SALINA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, CITY STAFF AND THE MANY VOLUNTEERS WHO CONTRIBUTE THEIR TIME AND TALENTS TO THIS EFFORT. THEIR COMMITMENT CONTINUES TO MAKE DOWNTOWN SALINA THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY. PLEASE JOIN ME IN RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENT AND CONGRATULATING EVERYONE WHO PLAYED A ROLE IN EARNING THE MAIN STREET AMERICA ACCREDITATION FOR 2026. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO WORK SESSION COMMITTEE REPORTS AND

[V.A. Discussion regarding the Lighting Ordinance – Text Amendment. (Kleineck) ]

[00:10:07]

SO PROPOSED REVISIONS THE RED LINES ARE WERE INCLUDED IN THE PACKET. WE'VE BASICALLY JUST CLARIFIED INTERNAL POLICY WHERE WE COULD TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND UNDERSTANDING.

WE'VE ELIMINATED ANY PLATITUDE TYPE LANGUAGE, ANY THAT ANY THAT COULDN'T ADD VALUE OR COULDN'T BE ENFORCED. WE'VE SIMPLIFIED OUR STANDARDS AND WE'VE ALSO UPDATED THEM TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY CONCERNS. SO FOR POLICY CONSIDERATIONS, WE TYPICALLY GET FEEDBACK FROM RESIDENTS THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT DIMMER. SALINA STANDARDS ARE ALREADY PRETTY RESTRICTIVE COMPARED TO REGIONAL STANDARD. THE PROPOSED REVISIONS INCLUDE DECREASING THE ALLOWED LIGHTING ON NONRESIDENTIAL PROJECTS TO DECREASE LIGHT POLLUTION, BUT STILL MAINTAINING SAFE ILLUMINATION LEVELS. PROPOSED REVISIONS ELIMINATE THE LIGHT POLES FROM THE SETBACK AREA. SO THAT'S AGAIN BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. THAT WOULD HOPEFULLY REDUCE ANY FURTHER COMPLAINTS. AND ALSO CLEANER ORDINANCE LANGUAGE WILL IMPROVE OUR PROCESSES JUST BY INCREASING CLARITY AND MAKING SURE EVERYONE'S AWARE OF THE OUTCOMES. SO AGAIN, THIS WAS TAKEN TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION LAST MONTH, AND THEY DID SUPPORT THE PROPOSED REVISIONS JUST BECAUSE IT IMPROVED LANGUAGE. IT ADJUSTED OUR LIGHTING SO THAT IT WAS DIMMER. AND THEN ALSO THEY LIKE THE RESTRICTION OF THE LIGHT POLES NEAR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINES.

THEY ALSO EXPRESSED CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR THE LIGHT POLE BASES THAT WE REQUIRE TO BE CLAD IN MASONRY, THE STRICT SHIELDING REGULATIONS, AND THEN ALSO THE FOOT CANDLE LIMITATIONS. THEY LIKE THAT IT WAS LOWER THAN REGIONAL STANDARD. SO AGAIN, HERE'S THE TIMELINE. WE ALREADY HAD THE DISCUSSION WITH P AND Z. TODAY IS THE DISCUSSION WITH YOU ALL.

WE WILL BRING THIS BACK FOR A PUBLIC HEARING AND ULTIMATE ADOPTION IN AUGUST FOR YOU ALL.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAD. BUT I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MAN. ITEM B DISCUSSION REGARDING FIRE DEPARTMENT STAFFING AND

[V.B. Discussion regarding Fire Department Staffing and Operations. (White) ]

RATHER THAN THROW ALL OF THAT ON YOU AT A BUDGET DISCUSSION, CHIEF IS GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THIS AND THE IMPACT TONIGHT. ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS SO THAT YOU HAVE THAT BACKGROUND WHEN WE GET TO THE BUDGET. SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO CHIEF. THANK YOU ROBERT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES WITH YOU TONIGHT, PROVIDING YOU WITH A BRIEF UPDATE OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE'VE ACHIEVED OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND ALSO SHARE A GOAL WITH YOU ON OUR CONTINUED JOURNEY TO BE ONE OF AMERICA'S PREMIER FIRE DEPARTMENTS. FIRST, WE APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP, YOUR DIRECTION, YOUR SUPPORT, AS YOU HAVE BASICALLY GIVEN US A DIRECTION ON WHICH WAY TO GO. AS A FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY OF SALINA, WE UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT MAKE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY, IN THEIR HOMES AND THEIR BUSINESSES IF THEY DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFE PLACE, THAT THEY CAN LIVE OR WORK, AND WE'RE WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR VISION, OUR MISSION, AND OUR VALUES ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE PROPOSED FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY. YOU HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO US THAT YOU WANT THIS CITY TO BE A CITY THAT'S BUILT UPON PUBLIC SAFETY. AND CHIEF CULLISON AND I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT OBJECTIVE. AND WE ARE USING THE CITY'S VALUES OF EXCELLENCE,

[00:15:02]

YOU KNOW, SHORTLY AFTER MY ARRIVAL, OUR ORGANIZATION STARTED A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT WE WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH, WHAT OUR GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS AS A FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHO DO WE WANT TO BE? AND THAT WAS A LONG CONVERSATION. BUT WHAT WE DISCOVERED WAS, IS THAT WE HAVE A VERY TALENTED, MOTIVATED AND ENGAGED WORKFORCE WHO HAVE COMPLETELY EMBRACED THE SALINA PEDIGREE. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE FAVORITE THINGS THAT I'VE FOUND ABOUT BEING A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, BECAUSE, SEE, SALINA NEVER PLAYS FOR SECOND PLACE. WHENEVER A TEAM FROM SALINA SHOWS UP ON THE FIELD, THEY'RE PLAYING FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS. SO THIS VERY SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD VISION IS WHERE WE ENDED UP AFTER THAT CONVERSATION TO BECOME THE PREMIER FIRE DEPARTMENT IN TEXAS. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN A PRACTICAL SENSE? WELL, IF SOMEBODY'S IN THE FIRE SERVICE IS TALKING ABOUT WHO'S DOING IT RIGHT IN TEXAS, WE WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT CONVERSATION. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WE MEET AND OR EXCEED OUR INDUSTRY INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES, THAT WE'RE UNASHAMED THAT WE'RE GOING TO REQUIRE MORE FROM OUR PERSONNEL THAN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, AND PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANTLY, THAT WE CAN OUTPERFORM OUR NATIONAL STANDARDS. AND I'M HAPPY TO TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE STARTED ON THAT JOURNEY. TONIGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE YOU JUST WITH A QUICK UPDATE OF SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE, SOME OF THE FOUNDATIONAL WORK THAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE PAST YEAR SINCE MY ARRIVAL, TO START OFF, IS KIND OF A BACKGROUND. ALL EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE TWO OVERARCHING GOALS ONE, TO BE SAFE AND TO BE EFFECTIVE, SAFE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN BE IN A VERY DANGEROUS CAREER FIELD AND EFFECTIVE THAT WE ACTUALLY SHOW UP AND SOLVE PROBLEMS. BUT TO IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE OPERATIONS, ALL HIGH RISK INDUSTRY ADHERE TO THESE FOUR FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF STANDARDIZATION, CONSISTENCY, COORDINATION, AND ACCOUNTABILITY. AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HIGH RISK INDUSTRIES, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE INDUSTRIES WHERE IF YOU SKIP A STEP OR IF YOU IGNORE CERTAIN INFORMATION, THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC OR POTENTIALLY FATAL. SO THESE ARE INDUSTRIES LIKE THE AIRLINE INDUSTRIES, THE RAILROADS, THE UTILITY INDUSTRIES, THE MILITARY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND OBVIOUSLY THE FIRE SERVICE. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP STANDARDIZED, STANDARD APPROACH TO COMPLEX, DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. WE CONSISTENTLY APPLY THOSE STANDARDS TO THOSE PROBLEMS. WE COORDINATE OUR EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE THREE DIFFERENT PLANS WHEN WE SHOW UP TO SOLVE ONE PROBLEM, AND THAT WE HOLD OUR PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE TO THOSE STANDARDS SO WE DON'T MISS A STEP OR WE DON'T MISS INFORMATION. AND WE'VE DONE SOME INITIAL GROUNDWORK OVER THIS PAST YEAR. AND DURING THIS PAST YEAR, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THESE PRINCIPLES IN OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. IN ORDER FOR US TO PERFORM SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY, WE MUST ENSURE ALL OF OUR PERSONNEL ARE OPERATING ON THE SAME PAGE. THAT'S WHY WE SPENT THE LAST YEAR IMPLEMENTING STANDARDIZED PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR ALL RANKS FIREFIGHTERS, ENGINEERS, CAPTAINS, AND BATTALION CHIEFS. THESE PROGRAMS HAVE ESTABLISHED A STANDARDIZED, CONSISTENT, AND COORDINATED APPROACH TO THE EMERGENCY SCENE FOR THIS LINE OF FIRE DEPARTMENT AND ENSURES OUR MINIMUM COMPETENCIES AND OUR MASTERY OF OUR SKILLS. NOW, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? THOSE NEXT STEPS? ONE OF THE KEY ASPECTS OF A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE OPERATION IS TO ARRIVE ON THE EMERGENCY SCENE WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PERSONNEL TO SOLVE THE MISSION. THIS IS THE BASIS FOR OUR NEXT ESSENTIAL GOAL IN THE EVOLUTION OF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS TO MEET THE INDUSTRY'S BEST PRACTICE IN STAFFING OUR FIRE ENGINES.

DURING THIS BUDGET PROCESS, WE ARE WORKING TO TRANSITION FROM A THREE PERSON STAFFING MODEL TO THE NFPA, NIST, OSHA, AND ISO RECOMMENDED FOUR PERSON STAFFING MODEL. THIS STAFFING MODEL WILL ALLOW OUR ENGINE CREWS TO OPERATE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SAFETY FOR OUR PERSONNEL AND ENSURE WE HAVE THE MANPOWER TO START ADDRESSING ANY PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. FOUR PERSON STAFFING ALLOWS ENGINE COMPANIES TO WORK AS INDEPENDENT TEAMS, WITH ADEQUATE PERSONNEL TO START TO MANAGE ANY EMERGENCY INCIDENT WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. THIS SAVES LIVES AND PROPERTY. FOUR PERSON STAFFING ALSO ALLOWS A SINGLE ENGINE COMPANY TO MEET THE NATIONAL TWO IN, TWO OUT SAFETY STANDARD THAT HAS BEEN ADOPTED AS THE TEXAS STATE LAW, WHICH STATES A TEAM OF AT LEAST FOUR FIRE PROTECTION PERSONNEL MUST BE ASSEMBLED BEFORE AN INTERIOR FIRE ATTACK CAN BE MADE. WHEN THE FIRE HAS PROGRESSED BEYOND THE INCIPIENT STAGE. CURRENTLY, OUR THREE PERSON CREWS MUST WAIT FOR AN ADDITIONAL FIRE DEPARTMENT RESOURCE TO ARRIVE BEFORE THEY CAN MAKE ENTRY FOR FIRE ATTACK. THIS DELAYS IN AGGRESSIVE INTERIOR FIRE ATTACK, WHICH COULD LOCATE UNKNOWN VICTIMS AND SAVE MORE PROPERTY. THE CURRENT STRATEGY THAT CFD UTILIZES TO MEET THE TWO IN, TWO OUT REQUIREMENT IS TO HAVE A TWO PERSON AMBULANCE RESPOND

[00:20:05]

THE NUMBER OF TASKS REQUIRES DOES NOT CHANGE BASED ON OUR STAFFING LEVEL. SHOWING UP, SHOWING UP WITH LESS PEOPLE JUST DELAYS ACCOMPLISHING CRITICAL TASKS. LET ME GIVE YOU A COUPLE EXAMPLES. FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO SHOW UP A THREE PERSON CREW ON A STRUCTURE FIRE. THE FIRST FIREFIGHTERS RESPONSIBILITY IS TO SECURE THAT UNINTERRUPTED WATER SUPPLY OR SECURE THE HYDRANT, DEPENDING ON WHERE THAT HYDRANT IS ON THE STREET, THAT FIRE COULD BE UP TO 200, 250FT AWAY FROM THAT FIRE ENGINE. SO WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THAT FIREFIGHTER TO THE HYDRANT, THE NEXT FIREFIGHTERS RESPONSIBLE TO ATTACH THAT SUPPLY LINE INTO THE PUMP AND OPERATE THE PUMP DURING THE FIREFIGHT. THAT'S THE ENGINEERS POSITION. THAT JUST LEAVES ONE PERSON LEFT TO DO EVERYTHING OUT ELSE IN OUR REQUIREMENT, OUR REGULATIONS THAT CAPTAIN, THAT FIRE OFFICER HAS TO CONDUCT WHAT'S CALLED A 363, 60 RECONNAISSANCE. AND BASICALLY WHAT THAT MEANS IS HE'S GOING TO TAKE A LAP AROUND THAT HOUSE AND DO AN ANALYSIS OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS FIRE, THE LOCATION AND THE EXTENT OF THE FIRE. WHERE WOULD BE THE BEST PLACE TO MAKE ENTRY? ARE THERE ANY OTHER HAZARDS THAT WE CAN'T SEE FROM THE FRONT YARD, DOWNED POWER LINES, RABID DOGS, HOSTILE PEOPLE. THAT PERSON DOES THAT LAP AND MAKES THE DECISION OF WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO GO IN AND FIGHT THIS FIRE. SO THAT WHOLE TIME, NOTHING'S HAPPENING TO THAT FIRE. BY THE TIME HE GETS BACK, IF WE STILL DON'T HAVE A FIRE DEPARTMENT RESOURCE ON SCENE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY CAN MAKE AN INTERIOR ATTACK. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES ONE PERSON MAKE? WELL, A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE IN PUTTING A FIRE OUT IN SAVING LIVES. FIRST FIREFIGHTER IS STILL LOST TO THE FIREFIGHTER FIRE HYDRANT. THE SECOND FIREFIGHTER IS LOST TO THE PUMP. THAT THIRD FIREFIGHTER CAN START MOVING TOOLS AND HOSE LINES TO THE POINT OF ENTRY CAN START APPLYING WATER TO THE TO THE FIRE FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE, KNOCKING DOWN THE ENERGY, THE FIRE. IMPROVING INTERIOR CONDITIONS FOR ANYBODY WHO'S STILL TRAPPED IN THAT THAT BUILDING AND IMPROVING INTERIOR CONDITIONS FOR US AS WE'RE ABOUT TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE THAT WHEN THAT CAPTAIN FINISHES, THAT 360 LAP COMES BACK, THOSE TWO FIREFIGHTERS CAN IMMEDIATELY BEGIN THE FIRE ATTACK AND THE LIFE SEARCH INSIDE THE HOUSE. THE CARDIAC ARREST IS THE MOST CRITICAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL INCIDENT THAT WE WILL RUN. THIS MEANS THAT A PATIENT HAS STOPPED BREATHING AND THEIR HEART HAS STOPPED BEATING. FOR THIS PERSON TO SURVIVE THIS CRITICAL EVENT, THERE ARE FOUR CRITICAL LIFE SAVING TREATMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE DONE QUICKLY. FIRST AND FOREMOST IS CARDIAC COMPRESSIONS. YOU SEE, WHEN YOUR HEART STOPS BEATING AND YOU STOP BREATHING, YOU STILL HAVE OXYGENATED BLOOD IN YOUR SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM IS IT'S JUST NOT MOVING BECAUSE THE PUMP'S NOT WORKING. WE START PROVIDING DEEP, HARD COMPRESSIONS TO START MOVING THAT BLOOD AROUND AND MAINTAIN TISSUE PERFUSION ON THE MAJOR ORGANS, WHICH DELAYS CELLULAR DEATH AND GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY AT A VIABLE PATIENT. SECOND PERSON HAS TO SECURE THE AIRWAY AND START BREATHING FOR A PATIENT THAT'S NOT BREATHING. WE DO THAT BY PLACING WHAT'S CALLED AN ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE INTO THE PATIENT'S TRACHEA, AND START ACTUALLY BREATHING FOR THE PATIENT BY PROVIDING LIFE SAVING OXYGEN, THE THIRD FIREFIGHTER HAS TO START AN IV ACCESS AND PROVIDE ADVANCED

[00:25:01]

WITH THAT IN MIND, WE KNEW WE NEEDED TO BUILD A BRIDGE TO THOSE HIGHER REVENUES IN FUTURE YEARS. SO WITH THE ESTIMATED OPENING OF FIRE STATION FOUR NOT TO HAPPEN UNTIL FEBRUARY OF 2027, WE WERE ABLE TO POSTPONE THE HIRING OF SIX FIREFIGHTERS THAT WERE BUDGETED FOR THIS YEAR IN FY 26 AND PUSHED THIS SAVING INTO NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. BY REALIZING THIS SAVINGS, WE CAN HIRE AN ADDITIONAL THREE FIREFIGHTERS IN THIS NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET FOR A TOTAL OF NINE TO REACH THE GOAL OF FOUR PERSON STAFFING, WHILE REMAINING WITHIN THE BUDGET DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. BUILDING THAT BRIDGE TO THAT THIRD YEAR. ALSO, TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, WE HAD TO DO A RESOURCE UTILIZATION. WE DO A RESOURCE UTILIZATION ANALYSIS AND STUDY THROUGH GIS TO DETERMINE THAT ADDITIONAL AMBULANCE IS REALLY NOT NEEDED AT THIS TIME. WE STILL HAD A LOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL CAPACITY WITH THE THREE CURRENT STAFFED MEDICS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW. OUR EVALUATION DETERMINED THAT A MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF OUR RESOURCES WOULD BE TO MOVE MEDIC THREE TO NEW FIRE STATION FOUR WHEN IT OPENS IN FEBRUARY OF 2027. THIS WILL BE A MUCH BETTER USE FOR THIS RESOURCE. THE RELOCATION. THE RELOCATION OF THIS VALUABLE EMS TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE WILL ENSURE OUR FRONTLINE UNITS ARE HAVING THE BIGGEST POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE CALL VOLUME OF OUR CITY. JUST TO GIVE YOU A REFERENCE OF THE CAPACITY OF A FRONTLINE AMBULANCE IN THE AMERICAN FIRE SERVICE, FRONTLINE AMBULANCE HAS THE CAPACITY TO RUN ABOUT 250 CALLS A MONTH. WE HAVE AN AMBULANCE MEDIC THREE, THAT'S RUNNING ABOUT 22 CALLS A MONTH. WE HAVE A LOT OF CAPACITY AND AN INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE ALREADY MAKING. NOW. THIS MAP REPRESENTS THE CALL VOLUME. IN 2025, WE HAD 3344 CALLS. NOW THOSE RED DOTS WITH THOSE NUMBERS ON THEM ARE THE LOCATIONS OF OUR CURRENT FIRE STATIONS. AND THAT LOWER SOUTHEAST CORNER OF OUR CITY, REPRESENTED BY THAT BLUE LINE, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER 60% OF THE CALLS THAT ARE IN OUR CITY, AND THE ONLY REPRESENTS ABOUT A THIRD OF THE SQUARE MILES OF OUR CURRENT FOOTPRINT. AS YOU KNOW, THE SOUTHEAST SECTOR OF OUR CITY IS CURRENTLY THE MOST DEVELOPED AND POPULATED, WHICH TRANSLATES INTO THE BULK OF OUR CALL VOLUME BY BY MOVING ANOTHER EMERGENCY RESPONSE RESOURCE TO THIS AREA, WE WILL IMPROVE OVERALL RESPONSE TIMES AND BETTER BALANCE THE WORKLOAD OF OUR BUSIEST FIRE STATIONS, FIRE STATION ONE AND TWO. AND BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT LOW CALL DEMANDS IN DISTRICT THREE, FIRE ENGINE THREE WILL STILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR RESPONSE TIMES. AND WITH FOUR PERSON STAFFING, THEY WILL BE EQUIPPED TO MANAGE ANY CRITICAL CALL IN THE RESPONSE AREA. IN ADDITION, WE WILL NOT DECREASE OUR MEDICAL SERVICES. STATISTIC THREE BECAUSE ALL OF OUR PERSONNEL ARE CERTIFIED AS PARAMEDICS AND ALL OF OUR ENGINES PROVIDE THE SAME ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT CAPABILITIES AS OUR AMBULANCES.

AND THEN WHEN WE OVERLAY THE PROJECTED FIRST DUE RESPONSE AREA OF THE NEW FIRE STATION FOUR, YOU CAN SEE THE IMMEDIATE IMPACT THESE RESOURCES WILL HAVE ON THE OVERALL EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM. WE ESTIMATE THAT IN THE FIRST YEAR THAT FIRE STATION IS FOUR IS OPENED.

IN 2027, IT WILL ABSORB OVER 1000 CALLS FROM THIS AREA AND SIGNIFICANTLY BALANCE THE WORKLOAD OF ALL OF OUR STATIONS. AND FINALLY, THE MOVE TO A FOUR PERSON STAFFING WILL ALSO PLACE THE SALINA FIRE DEPARTMENT IN A VERY EXCLUSIVE GROUP OF ONLY A FEW FIRE DEPARTMENTS, THE NORTH OF THE METROPLEX THAT MEET THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE. THE CITY OF PLANO IS THE OTHER. THIS WILL PLAY A HUGE ROLE IN OUR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF OUR PERSONNEL.

THIS IS A VERY EXCITING TIME AND THE GROWTH OF OUR CITY AND THE EVOLUTION OF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WITH YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT, WILL BE WELL POSITIONED TO BE LEADERS IN PUBLIC SAFETY AND SET THE STANDARD FOR NORTH TEXAS. ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS? DO WE PURCHASE A MEDIC UNIT FOR FOUR OR IS IS THE INTENT TO JUST USE THE MEDIC UNIT WE DID PURCHASE? WE HAVE AN EXTRA ONE. SO WHERE WILL THAT EXTRA ONE GO? AS LONG AS NO ONE HITS ONE OF OUR

[00:30:02]

[V.C. Discussion regarding Downtown Square Design. (Brawner) ]

THAT IS THE STATUS OF OUR DOWNTOWN CENTER. CURRENTLY, WE ARE SCHEDULED TO OPEN THE DOORS FEBRUARY 1ST. YOU WILL SEE THEM START WRAPPING THE BUILDING. WE'VE BEEN BLESSED WITH LOTS OF RAIN THIS SPRING. HOWEVER, IT'S STARTING TO IMPACT THEIR SCHEDULE SO THEY ARE WORKING.

YOU'LL SEE IT START WRAPPING WITH SOME YELLOW FOAM TO START CLOSING IN AND GETTING IT WATER TIGHT SO WE CAN START MOVING TO THE NEXT STEP. BUT WE ARE MOVING ON SCHEDULE, SO SWINERTON HAS DONE A GREAT JOB THAT DOES TAKE US TO THE NEXT STEP. SO KIND OF BACKING UP FOR THOSE RESIDENTS WHO ARE NEW TO THE COMMUNITY, WHO HAVEN'T BEEN HERE WHILE WE'VE WORKED ON THIS PROJECT, WE STARTED WITH THIS CONCEPTUAL DESIGN IN 2018. WE CREATED TWO LOOPS, WHAT WE CALL THE INNER LOOP AND THE OUTER LOOP. THE INNER LOOP IS WHERE YOU SEE THE PAVERS THAT INCORPORATES THE OLD PAVERS AND THE NEW PAVERS DOWN COLORADO AND BEACH. WE ALSO HAVE THE BACK END PARKING. WE CAN PRESERVE THE ONE WAY STREET FOR THE HISTORICAL VALUE. THE OUTER LOOP IS THE BLOCK AROUND THAT STARTS AT WALNUT ON THE SOUTH. EXCUSE ME, MAIN STREET ON THE SOUTH, ARIZONA ON THE WEST, MAPLE ON THE NORTH. AND THE TRACKS ACTUALLY ARE THE EASTERN BOUNDARY THAT IS CONSIDERED THE OUTER LOOP. THE DIFFERENCE AS WE DEVELOP THESE ROADS WILL BE THE ROADWAYS, CONCRETE INSTEAD OF PAVERS. AND WE WILL MAINTAIN PAVERS AT THE INTERSECTIONS ONLY. FROM THERE, WE MOVED INTO ADOPTING A DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN IN JANUARY OF 2019, AND THAT CREATED FOCUS AREAS. THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE IS ONE OF THOSE FOCUS AREAS. YOU CAN SEE THE EIGHT TASKS THAT IT HAS EIGHT TARGETED GOALS OF THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, THE FOCUS AREA, SPECIFICALLY WHAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT SIDE IS WHAT WE CALL THE ENHANCED SQUARE THAT EXTENDS THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SQUARE FROM COLORADO ON THE WEST, PECAN STREET ON THE NORTH SOUTH, OHIO ON THE EAST AND WALNUT ON THE SOUTH. YOU CAN SEE THE ELEMENTS THAT IT TALKED ABOUT INCORPORATING. THIS IS INTENDED TO BE AN ENHANCED CIVIC SPACE. A COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE PRESERVES. THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PROVIDES PEDESTRIAN WAY AND STREET. WE PRESERVE THE EXISTING PAVILION. IT HAS SOME KIND OF SPLASH PAD OR WATER FEATURE. IT DOES PROVIDE ON STREET PARKING FOR RETAIL USE AND INCORPORATE MID-BLOCK CROSSINGS. THE SECOND FOCUS AREA IS THE PATIO PLAZA. THIS IS THE AREA NORTH OF THE ENHANCED SQUARE. IT NOW TAKES PECAN AS YOUR SOUTHERN BOUNDARY. COLORADO IS YOUR WESTERN BOUNDARY, BEECH STREET AS YOUR NORTHERN BOUNDARY, AND SOUTH OHIO AS YOUR EASTERN BOUNDARY. IT HAS FOUR TARGETED GOALS PER THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN TO PARTICULARLY TO VIEW A VIEW CORRIDOR AND A CONNECTION. IT IS INTENDED TO HAVE DOUBLE FRONTAGE, SO WE HAVE AN INSIDE COURTYARD AND AN OUTSIDE COURTYARD. PRESERVE EXISTING STRUCTURES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND CREATE A CIVIC PRESENCE.

THIS AREA IS ACTUALLY HELD AT A PRIVATE, PRIVATELY HELD BY INDIVIDUALS. WE MEET WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS REGULARLY AND HAVE WORKED ON SEVERAL AGREEMENTS WITH THEM, WORKING TOWARDS THE

[00:35:01]

THIS IS A 200,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING TO BE BUILT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. WE DON'T KNOW WHEN. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, BUT WE DO HAVE ALL THE LAND PURCHASED FOR THE CITY.

THAT IS WHERE OUR MODULARS ARE LOCATED TODAY. AND IT IS AN ASPHALT PARKING LOT. IN 2021, STAFF SAT DOWN AND SAID, OKAY, WE HAVE THIS WONDERFUL MASTER PLAN THAT GIVES US A GOAL. WHAT COULD WE DO HERE TO HELP US ENVISION WHAT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ATTACHED IN THE PACKET TONIGHT IS THE INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS THAT WAS COMPLETED IN 2021. THIS WAS AN INTERNAL DOCUMENT THAT WAS PRESENTED TO VARIOUS GROUPS TO KIND OF GAUGE INTEREST. THE KEY ELEMENTS THAT I WANTED EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND. THE SPACE INVOLVED THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS EQUIVALENT TO WHAT IS KLYDE WARREN PARK OR SUNDANCE SQUARE. IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THAT IT'S REALLY THAT MUCH SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT THAT IS WHAT THE CONTRACTOR HAS GIVEN US. KIMLEY-HORN DEVELOPED THIS AND SAID, THAT'S WHAT HOW MUCH SPACE WE HAVE TO WORK WITH. SO THIS INVENTORY ANALYSIS GAVE US THE POSSIBILITIES. WHAT COULD IT BE WHEN IT GROWS UP? IT KIND OF CAME UP TWO GENERIC CONCEPTS THAT WE'VE KIND OF WORKED AS IDEAS. YOU CAN SEE ON THE OPTION ON ONE ON THE LEFT AND OPTION TWO ON THE EAST ON THE RIGHT. IT CREATED A BOARDWALK TO CONNECT THE FUTURE CITY HALL WITH THE SQUARE. IT CREATED THE IDEA OF THE TREE COVERED ESPLANADE. IT CREATED THE IDEA OF AN EVENT LAWN, A LARGER EVENT LAWN, EITHER EXTENDING WHAT WE HAVE TODAY OR POTENTIALLY MOVING IT TO AN EAST WEST CONFIGURATION. FROM THERE, WE CREATED THIS VISION, I THINK IN 3D. I LOVE TO THINK IN 3D, BUT I FOUND THAT NOT EVERYBODY DOES. BY CREATING A VISION, WE KIND OF SHOW EVERYBODY WHAT THIS COULD BE.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A POSSIBILITY. YOU CAN SEE THE ESPLANADE, YOU CAN SEE THE GAZEBO STILL THERE. YOU SEE THE CONNECTION TO A FUTURE CITY HALL YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT, RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN ON COLORADO. THAT IS NOW WHERE OUR DOWNTOWN CENTER IS. WE PRESERVE.

THE BUILDING WE'RE STANDING IN NOW IS PRESERVED. WE CREATED THE IDEA OF THE EVENT LAWN AND HAVING SOME KIND OF PERMANENT STAGE HERE. YOU KNOW, THIS ONE SHOWS ONE STAGE, BUT IT'S JUST AN IDEA OF WHAT COULD BE. THERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. WE WANT SOMETHING THAT'S VERY PEDESTRIAN FOCUSED, BRINGING EVERYBODY DOWNTOWN. COME AND STAY, ENJOY. WE ALL LIKE WATCHING THE KIDS PLAY ON THE SQUARE. WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT FEEL IN 2023. ONCE WE'VE ACQUIRED ALL THE PROPERTY FOR THE CITY HALL, THEN WE STARTED DETERMINING WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BUILD THE FUTURE PARKING GARAGE AT A 200,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, WE NEED A VERY LARGE PARKING GARAGE TO PARK EVERYBODY WHO WILL BE IN THERE.

SO COUNCIL GAVE STAFF DIRECTION IN SEPTEMBER OF 23 TO START BUYING PROPERTY. WE HAVE ABOUT HALF OF IT ACQUIRED. THIS IS NOT A TIMELINE FOR PROPERTY ACQUISITION. THERE'S NO EMINENT DOMAIN, NOTHING LIKE THAT. WE'VE JUST BEEN ACQUIRING PROPERTY AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE INTENTION IS THIS PARKING GARAGE WILL HOLD ABOUT 600 SPACES. NO TIMELINE FOR CONSTRUCTION, NO TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION. NONE OF THAT'S HAPPENED TO DATE. WHILE ALL THIS 2019, ALL THESE THE MASTER PLAN WAS ADOPTED. STAFF HAS BEEN MOVING FORWARD WITH ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND ADDING PARKING. THOSE ARE THE BIGGEST DIRECTIVES. LET'S GET THE ROADS REBUILT. LET'S GET SOME PARKING INSTALLED. YOU CAN SEE THE LIST OF PROJECTS WE ALL WENT THROUGH, THE COLORADO CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. WE HAVE ALLEYS BEHIND WALNUT AND PAPA G'S ARE NOW ARE CONCRETE. WE'VE GOT SHARED PARKING AGREEMENTS AND WE'VE GOT PERMANENT PARKING, A PARKING GARAGE BEHIND US. SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? THIS IS OUR NEXT STEPS. SO STAFF IS LOOKING TO AFFIRM THAT THIS DIRECTION IS STILL WHAT COUNCIL'S VISION IS. AND AT THAT WITH THAT DIRECTION, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO ADVERTISING FOR DESIGN SERVICES.

WE WANT TO FIND A FIRM THAT WILL HELP US BRING OUR VISION TO LIFE, THAT WILL CREATE THE ENHANCED SQUARE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR AS WE BRING DOWN THE OLD, THE CURRENT CITY HALL, AND WE OPEN THAT SPACE UP. IS IT AN EVENT LAWN? IS IT A PATIO? IS IT A WHAT? WHAT COULD IT BE? WE'LL ADVERTISE ON RFP. WE'LL GO THROUGH A SELECTION PROCESS. WE WILL GO SELECT THE DESIGN TEAM THAT WILL BE BROUGHT FORTH TO THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE THAT SELECTION. AND THEN WE WILL GO OUT WITH A MASTER PLAN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY, THE MASTER PLAN. WE HAD ALL THESE VISIONS, WE'VE HAD ALL THESE IDEAS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP A TRUE MASTER PLAN SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR ALLESLEY PARK, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR PARKS IN WILSON CREEK. WE'RE GOING TO SAY THIS IS WHAT WE'RE BUILDING. SO WHEN WE GO TO DESIGN CONTRACT, THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE. THAT WILL TAKE US ABOUT A YEAR, WE SUSPECT, BECAUSE IT WILL BE SEVERAL PUBLIC. THIS WILL BE VERY MUCH A PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS. WE'LL PREPARE THE PLANS AND THEN WE'LL CONSTRUCT IT. EASY, RIGHT? NO BIG DEAL.

WE GET IT. WE GOT IT GOING. THIS IS THE PROJECT LIMITS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT WOULD BE THE ENHANCED SQUARE, WHICH WILL INCLUDE COLORADO WALNUT SOUTH OF HAWAII, AND WILL

[00:40:05]

WE SHOULD BRING IT BACK TO YOU LATE SUMMER, EARLY FALL TO SELECT THAT ARCHITECT. THEN WE WILL START THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS. IT'LL TAKE US ABOUT A YEAR. THEN WE'LL GO INTO DESIGN CONSTRUCT. THAT'LL TAKE US ABOUT A YEAR, AND THEN WE WILL START CONSTRUCTION PROBABLY THE SUMMER OF 28, AND WE WILL FINISH IN THE SPRING SUMMER OF 29. WE EXPECT IT TO TAKE A FULL YEAR TO CONSTRUCT. THIS WILL BE UNUSUAL. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST ONE WE BID WITH WHAT WE CALL AN A PLUS B BIDDING. IT WILL BE A TIME SENSITIVE BID THAT WE WILL SET THIS UP FROM THE BEGINNING, THAT WE WILL PAY YOU MORE IF YOU FINISH IT FASTER, BECAUSE WE KNOW THIS WILL HAVE POTENTIAL IMPACT TO THE BUSINESSES ON THE SQUARE. THAT'S VERY MUCH A FACTOR IN THIS ANALYSIS. MAINTAINING THE OPERATION OF LUCY'S AND AUNTY JACK'S. WE WANT THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THROUGH THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. SO WE ARE LOOKING TO COUNCIL TO CONFIRM THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTION YOU GUYS WANT US TO GO. AND ALL I NEED IS YOUR GO AND WE'RE OFF AND RUNNING. ANY INPUT FROM COUNCIL? I THINK THAT'S GREAT. AND I JUST MY QUESTION IS, WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WENT INTO THE ORIGINAL DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, WHICH I THINK WAS AWARD WINNING, WE USED THAT AS A GROUNDWORK FOR THE FUTURE BECAUSE THAT'S PRETTY MUCH SELF-CONTAINED IN THAT PROJECT AREA. THAT'S THE KIND OF THAT'S WHAT THAT WOULD BE THE GROUNDWORK FROM WHICH WE WORK. GETTING MORE. EVERYTHING FROM THAT POINT WILL GO OFF THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN. YES. THANKS. GOOD. LOOKS FANTASTIC. YEAH. MY, THE FEEDBACK I HAVE YOU TOUCHED ON WALKABLE. THE OTHER THINGS I HAVE, WHICH ARE KIND OF OBVIOUS, IS POWER CONSIDERATIONS, PUBLIC RESTROOM FACILITIES AS WELL AS TACKLING ADA COMPLIANT. I THINK IN IN HOW OLD OUR DOWNTOWN IS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE AS WE'RE WALKABLE, THAT WE'RE ALSO CONSIDERATE OF THE RETROFITTING WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE EVERYTHING ADA COMPLIANT. YES, SIR. I JUST HAD A QUESTION ON ON PAGE 16. WHEN YOU HAD THAT MAP, ARE WE LOOKING AT MAYBE PUTTING THE PAVERS FURTHER ON DOWN PECAN STREET? SO I'M SORRY. SAY THAT AGAIN ON PAGE 16 WHERE YOU HAD THE MAP OF KIND OF WHAT THE WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION WOULD ALL BE. ARE WE LOOKING AT ADDING PAVERS DOWN PECAN STREET A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, MAYBE TOWARDS MAGGIANO'S? YES. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MULTIPLE OPTIONS. IF WE TAKE THOSE EXISTING PAVERS OUT, DO WE PUT CONCRETE PAVERS BACK IN TO MATCH? CAN WE SAVE THOSE EXISTING PAVERS? WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE EXISTING PAVERS? HOW FAR DO WE EXTEND THE PAVERS? ALL THOSE QUESTIONS WILL BE PART OF THE MASTER PLANNING EXERCISE. OKAY THANK YOU. THANKS, KIM. OKAY, WE ARE NOW GOING TO MOVE INTO OPEN

[VI. OPEN FORUM]

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AND SERVE AS YOUR NEXT ENGINEERING DIRECTOR. I COME FROM ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE NATION, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO JOIN THE NUMBER ONE, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN THE NATION. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

WELCOME. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. WELCOME. AT LEAST YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR. OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK DURING OPEN FORUM? OKAY, I WILL CLOSE OPEN FORUM AT 714.

[VII. CONSENT AGENDA]

[00:45:02]

[VIII.A. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon an Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance by amending an approximate 25 acre portion of Planned Development (PD) No. 80 with modified development standards; generally located at the northeast corner of Dallas Parkway and Frontier Parkway, within the City limits, for Mac Haik Celina. (McAfee) ]

THAT'S BEEN AMENDED IN 2021 AND AGAIN SUBSEQUENTLY AMENDED IN 2023. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A NEW AUTO DEALERSHIP. CURRENT CAR DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT ALLOWED PER THE CURRENT ZONING, AND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY OVERLAY DISTRICT.

SUBURBAN SUBZONE, WHICH ALLOWS FOR MOST COMMERCIAL, OFFICE AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES THAT ARE TYPICALLY FOUND ALONG MAJOR ARTERIALS AND TO ALLOW GREATER LATITUDE WITH DESIGN OF INDIVIDUAL SITES THAN THE HIGH RISE SUBZONE. SO NEW AUTO SALES ARE NOT ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN SALINA, OTHER THAN IN INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS, A P. THEREFORE, A PD OR SP IS REQUIRED FOR DEALERSHIPS ON LAND THAT IS ZONED COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE, THE OUTER LOOP OR TOLLWAY ZONING. AGAIN, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A DEALERSHIP. THE DNTO ALLOWS NEW CAR DEALERSHIPS IN THE SUBURBAN SUBZONE WITH AN S, U, P OR PD AS AFOREMENTIONED, AND THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN SHOWS THIS AREA RESERVED FOR COMMUNITY MIXED USE CENTER DEVELOPMENT.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE STAR HOW IT FITS ON THE OVERLAY. IT'S AT THE SOUTHERN END, ADJACENT TO NEARLY ADJACENT TO PROSPER, AND ALSO HERE AS WELL THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. SO THE CONCEPT PLAN IS ON THE SCREEN THIS EVENING. YOU SEE IN YELLOW, THE PROPOSED DEALERSHIP ITSELF IS LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF A FLOODPLAIN. SO THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANT FLOODPLAIN ADJACENCY. AND THEN THEY THE CORNER IS ALSO PRESERVED. SOME PAD SITES ADJACENT TO FRONTIER PARKWAY FOR FUTURE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL. THE ELEVATIONS ARE HEAVY MASONRY. YOU'LL NOTICE EARTHEN TONE STONE, EARTHEN TONE STONE AND OTHER HEAVY MASONRY, AS IS THE REGIONAL STANDARD. YOU ALSO NOTICE SOME BLUE KIND OF ON THE FRONT. THAT'LL BE A LATER CONVERSATION PIECE FOR THE COUNCIL TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON. HERE'S A COLOR RENDERING OF THE FACILITY. AGAIN, HEAVY MASONRY FOR A DEALERSHIP, TASTEFUL SIGNAGE AND BRANDING, AND AGAIN, ADDITIONAL ELEVATIONS AS WELL. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE THEME IN FRONT OF US. IT'S A, IT'S A NICE RENDERINGS, YOU KNOW, QUALITY DESIGN, ESTHETICS. SO THEY HAVE WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH STAFF TO MEET MOST DESIGN STANDARDS OF THE CITY. THEY'RE ASKING FOR TWO EXCEPTIONS ON THOSE DESIGN STANDARDS. THE PROPOSED DEALERSHIP IS HEAVY MASONRY WITH LIMITED TASTEFUL BRANDING. THEY DO HAVE ONE REQUEST ON THE ARCHITECTURE THE COLOR. THE LAYOUT INCLUDES A 12 FOOT TRAIL ALONG THE ADJACENT FLOODPLAIN THAT'S REQUIRED BY THE MASTER TRAILS PLAN, AND ALSO MONUMENT STYLE SIGNAGE SO THEM LOCATING WHERE THEY'VE LOCATED. THEY WILL BE BUILDING A 12 FOOT WIDE MASTER TRAIL, PART OF THE MASTER TRAILS REGIONAL TRAILS PLAN SEGMENT ALONG THE CREEK. CONSIDERING WHAT ELSE COULD BE BASICALLY DEVELOPED ON THIS PROPERTY, WHICH ALLOWS MF THREE STRUCTURED MID-RISE MULTIFAMILY, THE ADJACENCY IMPACTS ARE RATHER LOW. THIS IS A ONE STORY BUILDING. IT HAS LIMITED HOURS OF OPERATION, NOT VERY LOUD IN COMPARISON TO WHAT COULD BE GOING ON THIS CORNER. IF THERE ARE ANY NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL CONCERNS ABOUT ADJACENCY ADJACENCY IMPACTS, THIS DEVELOPMENT COMPARED TO OTHERS WOULD BE A LOWER IMPACT. SO IN TERMS OF THE TWO REQUESTS, THE FIRST ONE IS COLOR. SO JUST LIKE MOST A LOT OF THE REGIONAL CITIES, SOLANA REGULATES THE USE OF COLORS ON NEW DEVELOPMENT BY REQUIRING EARTHEN TONE COLORS. BRIGHT COLOR NEEDED FOR BRANDING IS ALLOWED AND ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SIGNAGE, BUT NOT ALLOWED ON THE BUILDING WALL.

EXTERIOR. WALMART, LOWE'S, SPROUTS ACADEMY, METHODIST, COLLIN COLLEGE, THE BUICK DEALERSHIP ALL ABIDE BY SALINA'S COLOR REGULATIONS. COSTCO AND HOME DEPOT RECEIVED A LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF UNDER THE OLD OLDER ORDINANCE. THEY HAVE VERY LIMITED COLORED

[00:50:06]

THE ORIGINAL PD LANGUAGE INCLUDED A SIMILAR PROVISION, TO BE FAIR TO THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, BUT IT WAS REPEALED IN A 2023 PD AMENDMENT WHICH REQUIRED MODERN STANDARDS APPLY.

TREE MITIGATION RELIEF IS USUALLY COORDINATED THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND NOT BY REDEFINING TERMS IN THE BASE ZONING ORDINANCE WITHIN THE PD. SO TYPICALLY THIS WOULD BE HANDLED ANY TIME FEES ARE DISCUSSED. IT'S TYPICALLY HANDLED THROUGH A LEGAL CONTRACT THAT COUNCIL REVIEWS. THIS IS A CLEVER WAY TO ACHIEVE A SIMILAR END RESULT, BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT ATYPICAL. TO GIVE SOME CONTEXT TO THE COUNCIL, RAINWATER CROSSING. THE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY HAD THEIR TREE MITIGATION FEES CAPPED AT 250,000 THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. LEGACY HILLS HAD ITS TREE MITIGATION WAIVED FOR IN-KIND DIRT WORK UPTOWN. A MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY HAD THEIR TREE MITIGATION FEES CAPPED AT 100 000 THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THE CROSSING AT MORE FARMS PAID 81000 IN TREE MITIGATION FEES, WITH NO MODIFICATION FROM STANDARD, AND THE SAME WITH VILLAGE OSB FARMS 53000 WITH NO MODIFICATION. SO THERE IS THERE IS SOME PRECEDENT FOR COUNCIL TO PROVIDE RELIEF AT TIMES THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THE TREE MITIGATION OPTIONS ARE TO APPROVE THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO PAY ONLY PAY MITIGATION FEES ON TREES FOUND IN THE CITY'S APPROVED PLANT LIST. THAT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 400 000 IN RELIEF. DENY THE TREE MITIGATION RELIEF OR DENY THE REQUEST TO REDEFINE THE PROTECTED TREE TERM MORE SPECIFICALLY, OR TO APPROVE THE TREE MITIGATION RELIEF THAT IS LESS THAN THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, SUCH AS MAYBE 50% OF THE PROTECTED TREES OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. AGAIN, ZONING SHOULD NOT BE DISCUSSING FEES, BUT WHEN WE'RE DISCUSSING DEFINITIONS, IT HAS THE SAME ULTIMATE EFFECT. IN TERMS OF POLICY CONSIDERATIONS ON THE LAND USE, WHICH IS THE PRIMARY REQUEST FOR THIS EVENING. A LOT OF TIMES YOU HEAR THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT VISUALLY APPEALING. SOME OF THE COUNTERARGUMENTS TO THAT OR COUNTERPOINTS, WOULD BE THAT OUR SALON IS DESIGN STANDARDS ARE HIGH. DEALERSHIPS PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT NEEDED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. THEY'RE NOT UNCOMMON ALONG MAJOR REGIONAL THOROUGHFARES, AND THEY'RE ALSO VERY ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH SPONSORSHIPS AND DONATIONS. PASSENGER VEHICLES DO NOT PAY LOCAL SALES TAX, BUT THERE ARE SALES TAX ON SERVICE PARTS AND DEALERSHIPS PAY, PROPERTY TAX AND INVENTORY TAX. AND THEN OF COURSE, LAST SUMMER, A YEAR AGO, PNC AND COUNCIL GAVE DIRECTION TO THAT. DEALERSHIPS SHOULD NOT BE WANTING TO LOCATE IN THE HIGH RISE SUBZONE OF THE DNT. AND THE APPLICANT LISTENED TO THE FEEDBACK FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL. THEY CHOSE TO LOCATE ELSEWHERE IN THE SUBURBAN SUBZONE. THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WAS UNANIMOUS FOR APPROVAL OF THE PD. THEY. THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL FOR THE LAND USE. THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL FOR THE TREE RELIEF AS WELL, BUT THEY DID NOT

[00:55:04]

WHAT WAS I'M SORRY, SOMEBODY I WOULD JUST YOU DON'T HAVE A RENDERING FOR WHAT THE THE COLOR EXCEPTION WOULD LOOK LIKE BLUE AROUND THE FRONT DOOR. CAN YOU BRING THAT SLIDE BACK UP? YES. GREAT QUESTION. LET'S TACKLE THAT FIRST. SO IT THE I THINK THE TO BE FAIR TO THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, IT'S A LIMITED AMOUNT OF BLUE ON THE BUILDING. HOWEVER, IT'S ALSO, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF PRECEDENT AND ORDINANCE, WALMART BUILT WITHOUT BLUE EXCEPT FOR THEIR SIGNAGE. SO IT'S REALLY A POLICY DECISION OF THE CITY COUNCIL'S. OKAY, DO WE HAVE I BRENDAN, DO YOU WANT TO GO NEXT. YOU WERE GOING TO SPEAK UP. WELL, I'M KIND OF IN AGREEMENT WITH PLANNING AND ZONING. I DON'T WANT TO REALLY WAVER ON THE DESIGN STANDARD FOR THE COLOR, BUT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT WAS THEIR TREE MITIGATION FEE? WOULD THEY WANT TO DO ALL OF IT? OR DID THEY SAY 50%? THEIR ULTIMATE RECOMMENDATION INCLUDED ALL OF IT. I DON'T THINK THEY WERE. THEY REALLY DISCUSSED SPLITTING THE BABY, SO TO SPEAK. I DON'T THINK THAT WAS REALLY THEIR PART OF THEIR DISCUSSION. I THINK THEY LANDED ON THAT. THEY ARE NEXT TO THE FLOODPLAIN. YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY JUST SAW THE IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TREE MITIGATION FEES DUE ON THE PROJECT. THEY FELT IT WAS APPROPRIATE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE OLD PD HAD TREE LANGUAGE WITHIN IT. THEY FELT IT WAS A REASONABLE REQUEST. YEAH, I AGREE WITH THEM ON THAT. I THINK I'M FINE WITH THE TREE MITIGATION FEE, BUT NOT REALLY SO MUCH ON THE DESIGN STANDARD OF THE COLOR. AND I, I ALMOST FEEL A LITTLE BIT OPPOSITE OF THE RECOMMENDATION. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE I'M OKAY WITH THE COLOR. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE TREE MITIGATION FEE, IT GOES IN TO. THAT INTEGRITY FUND. AND I THINK EVERYBODY THAT WE SELL SALINE ON, WE TALK TO ABOUT WHAT, WHAT DO WE USE COMMERCIAL PROJECTS OFF OF PRESTON ROAD, OFF OF DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY. AND IN TURN, WE USE THAT INVESTMENT THAT THEY MAKE AND WE PUT IT BACK INTO DOWNTOWN. WE PUT IT BACK INTO OUR PARKS AND THOSE KIND OF AREAS. SO PERSONALLY, I THINK I'M PROBABLY AGAINST A FULL WAIVER. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S 50%, IF THAT'S 25% SOMEWHERE ALONG THERE, BUT I THINK I WOULD JUST BE AGAINST WAIVING 100% OF THOSE FEES, LOOKING AT WHAT THAT PARTNERSHIP MEANS. THAT'S THAT'S MONEY THAT WE COULD USE TOWARDS PARKS. WHEN WE LOOK AT WILSON CREEK PARK, IT'S MONEY THAT WE USE FOR FACADE GRANTS DOWNTOWN, AS WELL AS JUST THE PRECEDENT IT SETS WHEN SOMEBODY HAS A LOT OF TREES, THEN IN TURN, THEY'RE GOING TO ASK FOR THE SAME GOING FORWARD. THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION IF COUNCIL IS WANTING TO HEAR IT. I MEAN, WE'RE DONE WITH THE QUESTIONS.

WE'RE DONE WITH THE QUESTIONS. OR DO WE WANT TO DISCUSS THE WHEN WE WHEN WE VOTE, ARE WE VOTING ON IT WITH THESE. ARE WE VOTING ON JUST THE THE THE LAND USE? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

THE PD IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN WITH LAND USE TREES AND COLORS. PER THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST. WE WROTE THE ORDINANCE PER THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST. SO THE MOTION DOES NEED TO ENSURE THAT IT'S CLEAR ABOUT LAND USE TREE RELIEF IN COLOR, AND THERE'S NO WRONG ANSWER ON THOSE THREE.

THAT'S COUNCIL'S POLICY DECISION. BUT IN THE MOTION, IF IT'S. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE MOTION IS CLEAR ON ALL THREE POINTS. I DON'T SEE AN ISSUE WITH THE WITH THE BLUE ACCENT.

I MEAN, LIKE IF THE WHOLE THING WAS PAINTED BLUE, I THINK THAT WOULD LOOK NOT GOOD. I MEAN, WHEN YOU THINK OF A CHEVY DEALERSHIP, I THINK THIS IS KIND OF SOMETHING COMMON THAT COMES TO MIND. SO TO ME, THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL ON A TREE MITIGATION THING. SIMILAR. IT IS A, IT IS A BIG AMOUNT. SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'VE DONE ON THESE OTHERS WHERE WE'VE CAPPED IT A LITTLE BIT, THAT SEEMS LIKE A NICE MIDDLE GROUND FOR THAT. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'D START AT. ONE. ONE THING IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS WE'RE DEFINING THE TERM PROTECTED TREE. SO I'M NOT SURE IF WE COULD CAP THE OVERALL FEE ITSELF AS MUCH AS WE HAVE TO KEEP IT TO A DEFINED TERM WITHIN THE BASE ZONING. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR JULIE THOUGH, BUT WE DO. WE HAVE SPEAKING DEFINITION. DO WE HAVE THE OPTION OF MAKING THEM COME BACK FOR A SEPARATE AGREEMENT? SO WE IN TURN, I THINK WHAT EDDIE'S TALKING ABOUT IS LOOKING AT LAND USE. SO IN TURN, COULD WE DISCUSS LAND USE ALONG WITH THE COLOR OF IT, AND THEN LEAVE THE TREES TO A SEPARATE REQUEST? THAT MAY BE A JULIE QUESTION. YES, I THINK THAT'S THAT'S

[01:00:06]

AND SO, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD KICK THE TREES. I'M OKAY WITH THE COLOR, BUT I THINK THE, MAYBE THE TREE MIGHT REQUIRE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION. CAN WE, JULIE, I GUESS THIS IS A QUESTION. CAN WE MOTION TO DENY THE REQUEST FOR THE TREES AND MAKE THEM COME BACK WITH A COMPLETELY SEPARATE REQUEST? AND IF THEY WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT EXERCISE, THEY CAN. I WOULD JUST RATHER NOT TIE THIS TREE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR CHANGE THE TEXT LANGUAGE. YES YOU COULD. THE ACTUAL MOTION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE PD WITHOUT THE TREE MITIGATION PROVISION. THAT WAY THE OTHER CHANGES ARE INCLUDED AND THEN THEY CAN STAFF CAN BRING WORK WITH THEM TO BRING SOMETHING BACK THAT'S SEPARATE. OKAY. I CAN BE SOLD ON THE COLOR THING. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THESE GUYS TOOK ALL OF OUR FEEDBACK OVER THE LAST YEAR AND RAN WITH IT. AND SO I'M, I'M, I'M, I'M FINE WITH MAKING A CONCESSION ON THAT.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM MINUS. HOLD ON. SORRY. OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST.

ALL RIGHT. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SPEAK FROM THE PUBLIC, IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES, SIR.

ABSOLUTELY. WE'RE THE APPLICANT. CLAY CHRISTIE, CLAY MOORE ENGINEERING 1903 OR 3 231 HARWOOD AVENUE, BEDFORD, TEXAS. COUNCIL MEMBERS REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS COMING OUT VISITING WITH US THIS EVENING TO PRESENT OUR PROJECT. EXTREMELY THRILLED TO TRY TO PRESENT THE PROJECT. AS DUSTY MENTIONED, WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO COME HERE AND PRESENT THE PROJECT. WE DID HAVE TWO TWO OPTIONS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO TALK, OR TWO EXCEPTIONS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO IN OUR PD, THE FIRST BEING ON THE TREE MITIGATION. WE'RE PERFECTLY FINE WITH WORKING THOSE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT PERMIT. SO JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO CAUSE ANY, ANY CONFUSION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WE'RE HAPPY TO GO INTO THE DETAILS ON THAT. WE WEREN'T JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE WEREN'T TRYING TO GET RID OF ALL THE MITIGATION FEES. WE WERE JUST TRYING TO MITIGATE THE ONES THAT WERE MORE PROTECTED ON THE PROTECTED LIST TREE OR ON THE APPROVED PLANTING TREE LIST. SO EXCLUDING THINGS LIKE HACKBERRIES, AS DUSTY MENTIONED, BUT ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUE AT ALL WITH US TRYING TO PUSH THAT DOWN TO DEVELOPMENT PERMIT. THE OTHER THING THAT WE WANTED TO HAVE IS I HAVE ONE OF MY COUNTERPARTS HERE. I'LL CALL STEPHEN HUDGENS UP HERE IN JUST A SECOND TO KIND OF PRESENT AND TALK ABOUT THE ELEVATION AND THE COLOR BLUE. I KNOW THAT WE'VE KIND OF HAD SOME OPEN DISCUSSION ON THAT, BUT JUST TO GIVE A FURTHER DEAL, A FURTHER EXPLANATION OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO TO HAVE THE FLAGSHIP STORE OF MACH HEIGHT THAT'S THERE. SO I'LL SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MY REMAINING TIME, AND I'LL ASK STEPHEN TO COME UP HERE AND PRESENT THE REST OF IT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. STEPHEN HUTCHENS, STATE ADDRESS TO. YEAH, SURE. GO AHEAD. 33,400 VAN DIKE AVENUE, WARREN, MICHIGAN. MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS APPRECIATE YOU HAVING ME HERE TODAY. MY NAME IS STEPHEN HUDGINS FROM OUR CHEVY SALES OPERATIONS TEAM. WE DON'T GET TO GET OUT OF MUGGY GRAY DETROIT OFTEN. SO HAPPY TO BE HERE IN CELINA, TEXAS. TO TEXAS.

EXACTLY. BUT HAPPY TO BE HERE TO SUPPORT OUR DEALER PARTNERS IN THE ORGANIZATION AND SUPPORT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR CHEVROLET AND THE COMMUNITY FOR DEALERSHIP HERE IN SALINA. YOU GUYS HIT ON SOME GREAT POINTS ALREADY, BUT I'M YOU KNOW, I'M HERE TO ASK FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR USING THE ACCENT BLUE FOR OUR CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. YOU KNOW, YOU PROBABLY NOTICED A VERY DIFFERENT LOOKING CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FROM WHAT YOU'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, IS OUR BRAND NEW GROUND UP FACILITY IMAGE PROGRAM THAT WE'VE LAUNCHED WITH OUR DEALER NETWORK. AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THE MAC HEIGHT GROUP WILL BE THE FIRST ONE OF THE FIRST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS TO EXECUTE THIS. LOOK ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND I'LL SAY BEING CLOSE TO THE DESIGN PROCESS, WE KEPT CELINA IN OUR IN OUR SIGHTS WHEN DEVELOPING THIS. OUR OUR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN TEAM WAS UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THIS DESIGN READY WHEN WHEN THE CELINA OPPORTUNITY CAME AVAILABLE BECAUSE WE'D LOVE TO MAKE THIS OUR FLAGSHIP STORE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS IS GOING TO BE LOOKING TO BE ONE OF THE LARGEST SQUARE FOOTAGE WISE DEALERSHIPS IN THE COUNTRY, AND

[01:05:03]

THAT CONCLUDES THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. IS THERE ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM A? YOUR SAVING GRACE ON THE BLUE MIGHT BE THAT IT'S NOT ANN ARBOR BLUE. SHE'S GOING TO THROW THAT IN THERE. OKAY. IF THERE ARE NO ONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK, THEN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM A AT 736. ANDY, DID YOU HAVE A MOTION? YEAH, I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM A MINUS THE TREE PORTION OF IT. OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. OKAY, I HAVE A SECOND. EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. OKAY.

MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. WELL, WELCOME, CHEVY TO CELINA. AND I THINK JOSH POTTS IS WATCHING FROM AFRICA. WHO'S THE CEO AT MAC. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY HI TO JOSH AND AND THANKS FOR

[VIII.B. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider and act upon an Ordinance amending the City’s Code of Ordinances by amending Chapter 14: Zoning, Article 14.04: Site Development Standards, Part Three: Screening Walls and Fences, and related sections of the Zoning Ordinance, for a text amendment. (McAfee) ]

WALL AND FENCE STANDARDS WERE ALSO ADOPTED WITH A 2019 REWRITE, AND IT IS INTENDED TO ENSURE THE SCREENING OF NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICE EQUIPMENT FROM ROADWAYS, OPEN SPACES AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. SO HERE'S A TIMELINE. WE WENT TO THE P AND Z FOR DISCUSSION IN MARCH. WE CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL IN APRIL FOR DISCUSSION. IT WENT BACK TO P AND C AS A PUBLIC HEARING LAST MONTH. AND WE ARE HERE TODAY FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION. SO IN TERMS OF THE SCREENING OVERVIEW, THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS, BASICALLY SCREENING WALLS ARE REQUIRED TO BE EIGHT FOOT TALL AND IT IS REQUIRED IN MANY SITUATIONS. YOU CAN READ THROUGH THIS LIST, BUT THE PRIMARY PLACES WHERE WE INCLUDE SCREENING IS BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AND ALSO ALONG OUR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES. AND THEN SCREENING WALLS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO HAVE COLUMNS, DECORATIVE CAP LINTELS AND SOLDIER COURSES. SO ALL OF THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THIS EXAMPLE HERE. ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE REQUIRE FOR ON A SCREENING WALL. AND THEN IN TERMS OF FENCES, RESIDENTIAL LOTS TYPICALLY UTILIZE WOODEN FENCES. WE REQUIRE THAT THE SMOOTH SIDE OF THE FENCE FACES OUTWARDS SO THAT ALL THE POSTS ARE FACING INTERNAL AND METAL POSTS ARE REQUIRED. AND WE ALSO REQUIRE OPEN SPACE, OPEN FENCING ALONG OPEN SPACES AND FLOODPLAIN. AND HERE'S A PICTURE THAT BASICALLY SHOWS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT SITUATION. SO THE PROPOSED REVISIONS, THE RED LINE OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES WAS INCLUDED. WE'VE CLARIFIED INTERNAL POLICY WHERE POSSIBLE, JUST SO WE HAVE A SHARED UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN OURSELVES AND THE CUSTOMERS. ELIMINATED PLATITUDE TYPE LANGUAGE THAT DIDN'T ADD ANY VALUE. WE'VE SIMPLIFIED AND CONSOLIDATED STANDARDS. WE'VE CLARIFIED HEIGHT, MATERIAL APPLICABILITY, AND ALSO CLARIFIED WALL MAINTENANCE EASEMENTS AND SHARED BOUNDARY SITUATIONS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO THIS NEXT FEW SLIDES ARE SOME OF THE RED LINES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE PACKET. I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM, BUT I CAN IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

IT'S VERY IT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD SHOWN DURING THE WORK SESSION, BUT IN TERMS OF THE PNC AND COUNCIL DISCUSSION. THERE WERE NO CONCERNS WITH THESE PROPOSED REVISIONS PREVIOUSLY. AND THEN AGAIN, HERE'S THE TIMELINE WHERE AT THE VERY END, WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION, THERE WAS NO PUBLIC FEEDBACK WHEN WE TOOK THIS ITEM TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS APPROVAL AT THEIR MEETING, AND STAFF

[IX.F. Consider and act upon a Resolution adopting the Median Landscape Pattern Book. (Median Landscape Pattern Book) (McAfee) ]

THIS EVENING, WE'RE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE'RE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE MEDIAN LANDSCAPE PATTERN BOOK PROCESS. SO OBVIOUSLY, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS MADE WATER A STRATEGIC PLANNING PRIORITY FOR THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY. IN 2025, COUNCIL APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH KIMLEY-HORN, THE CONSULTANTS WHO WERE IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT READY TO PRESENT THEIR FINDINGS AND THEIR FINAL PRODUCT TO THE COUNCIL AND TO LOOK AT BASICALLY THE CITY'S MEDIAN LANDSCAPING REGULATIONS WITH A DROUGHT TOLERANT PERSPECTIVE.

AND THEY'VE MET WITH STAFF MULTIPLE TIMES. I'VE BEEN THROUGH ROUNDS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION KEEPS ON A BEAUTIFUL COMMISSION, AND THEY'RE READY TO SHARE THEIR RESULTS WITH COUNCIL THIS EVENING. AGAIN, JUST THIS CALENDAR YEAR, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. ALSO, WE HAD A JANUARY PRESENTATION WITH THE CITY COUNCIL ON WATER. AND JUST SOME QUICK OVERVIEW BEFORE I TURN THIS OVER TO THE CONSULTANTS, THERE'S FOUR STANDARDS BY WHICH MEDIANS ARE EVALUATED. THE COST OF INSTALLATION ON THE FRONT END, THE COST OF MAINTENANCE ON THE BACK END, THE AMOUNT OF WATER USAGE THAT GOES INTO A PARTICULAR DESIGN, AND THEN ALSO ESTHETICS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE NICE IN THIS REGION. ONLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE ONLY FOUR AND SIX LANE DIVIDED ROADWAYS HAVE A DIVIDED MEDIAN. THIS IS NOT EVERY ROADWAY IN THE CITY. IT'S ONLY FOUR AND SIX LANE ROADWAYS. AND THEN OF COURSE, ENGINEERING DESIGN STANDARDS REGULATE THE VAST MAJORITY OF ITEMS WITHIN A MEDIAN. SO THIS IS NOT TOUCHING UPON ENGINEERING DESIGN STANDARDS. IT'S PURELY JUST THE LANDSCAPING, THE ESTHETICS OF THE MEDIAN THEMSELVES. AND BASED UPON COUNCIL AND COMMISSION FEEDBACK OVER THE WINTER, THE CONSULTANT HAS PREPARED GUIDELINES THAT ELIMINATE TURF IN THE MEDIANS. THEY REQUIRE BARE MINIMUM IRRIGATION WITH MAXIMUM WATER CONSERVATION. THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS AND ALLOW FOR A RANGE OF DESIGN, EXPRESSIONS AND ORGANIZATION, AND ALSO TO ESTABLISH CLEAR EXPECTATIONS. THE GUIDELINES ARE EXPECTED TO REDUCE MEDIAN IRRIGATION DEMAND BY BY ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 60%. THAT'S THE END GOAL OF THESE DESIGN STANDARDS. WITH THAT, I WILL HAND THIS OVER TO KIMLEY-HORN, WHO WILL PRESENT THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THANK YOU. DUSTY. SO I'D LIKE TO START WITH A RECAP OF WHERE WE WERE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN COUNCIL GAVE THE DIRECTIVE OF ELIMINATING TURF FROM THE MEDIANS. I WAS ALSO A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT KIND OF A COMMON ESTHETIC THAT PEOPLE EXPECT TO SEE. AND HOW DO WE BALANCE WHAT PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS ARE WITH KIND OF WATER DEMANDS, AND WHAT WE THINK THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IS. SO. YOU KNOW, WE, I, I AGREE THAT, YOU KNOW, IT IS THE RIGHT AND SUSTAINABLE AND SMART THING TO DO. AND CERTAINLY PLACES SALINA ABOVE THE CURVE AND AHEAD OF OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, WHICH I THINK WILL FOLLOW TO LIMIT HOW MUCH TURF AND WATER IS USED IN

[01:30:05]

THE TREE REQUIREMENTS HAVE REMAINED THE SAME. WE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TREES PROVIDED SHADE, BUT NOT OVERCROWDING. THE REAL CHANGES IN WHAT WE LOOKED AT WERE THE PLANTING REQUIREMENTS. WE LOOKED AT OTHER MUNICIPALITIES IN MORE ARID AREAS AND DEVELOPED WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A BALANCE OF AROUND 60% OF THE MEDIAN NEEDED TO BE COVERED IN SOME KIND OF VEGETATION, ALLOWING FOR ABOUT 40% AGGREGATE. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN INCREASE OF WHAT WE WOULD USE OR TYPICALLY SEE FROM A TURF PERSPECTIVE. SO AGAIN, THE FORMAT IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT THE INFORMATION WAS RELAYED IN THE PREVIOUS SET. IN THIS PROCESS, WE DEVELOPED SOME GO BYS IN TERMS OF HOW TO CALCULATE SOME OF THESE AREAS. WE THOUGHT THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE CONSULTANTS AND CITY STAFF UNDERSTOOD THE DESIGN INTENT OF THOSE AREAS WHERE YOU COULDN'T HAVE PLANTINGS DON'T QUALIFY FOR THOSE CALCULATIONS, MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S SAFETY AREAS AROUND THE EDGES FOR STAFF AND MAINTENANCE, AND ALSO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INTENT OF THE GUIDELINES WERE FULLY UNDERSTOOD. PART OF THE PACKAGE WE DEVELOPED BASICALLY SOME PATTERN LANGUAGE. THESE ARE KIND OF PROTOTYPES OR TYPICAL LAYOUTS OF WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE. WE THOUGHT THIS WAS IMPORTANT FROM A POINT OF VIEW, OF LOOKING AT HOW MUCH LANDSCAPE SHOULD BE PLACED IN TERMS OF SWASTIKA TO IMPACT VISUAL LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING OF 30FT WAS OUR RECOMMENDED MINIMUM DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IF IT WERE LESS THAN THAT, WE DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD QUITE HAVE THE VISUAL IMPACT THAT PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO SEE. AND ALSO OTHER CRITERIA OF, OF EDGING AND THINGS THAT WE WORKED WITH CITY STAFF THAT WE THINK ARE GOOD FOR LONG TERM MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS. A BIG PART OF THE PACKAGE WAS LOOKING AT THE EXISTING IRRIGATION STANDARDS AND MAKING SURE THOSE ARE AS UP TO DATE AS POSSIBLE AS WATER SMART AS POSSIBLE, USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES FOR IRRIGATION, WHILE ALSO GIVING A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY TO CITY STAFF AT THEIR DISCRETION OF WHERE THEY WANT TO SEE MAYBE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES AND EQUIPMENT USED.

ANOTHER PART OF THE PROCESS WAS LOOKING AT THE PHASING OF MEDIANS. A LOT OF TIMES THE SIX LANE DIVIDED ROADS ARE BUILT AS FOUR INITIALLY. AND HOW DO WE GET THAT ESTHETIC WITH STILL BEING WATER SMART? BECAUSE IT COULD TAKE YEARS UPON YEARS FOR THESE LANES TO BE FULLY BUILT OUT. WE ACHIEVED THAT BY IMPLEMENTING THE INITIAL DESIGN OR THE FINAL DESIGN IN THE CENTER OF THE MEDIAN, SO THAT THAT IS ALWAYS THERE AND THERE FOR THE CITY'S BENEFIT, BUT AREAS WHERE FUTURE LANES WILL COME AND ENCROACH INTO THAT. WE'RE LOOKING AT BASICALLY A NON IRRIGATED TURF, WHICH WILL DO JUST FINE. BERMUDA WILL LIVE DURING THE SUMMER, IT'LL TURN BROWN, BUT COME BACK IN THE SPRING. AND IF IT'S A WET SUMMER, WE'LL STILL BE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING. BUT CONSERVING WATER, AS WAS THE DIRECTIVE FOR THIS, WE ALSO LOOKED AT PROPOSING AN UPDATED PLANT PALETTE, MAKING SURE ALL THE PLANT SPECIES WE RECOMMEND ARE ARE WATER SMART, NATIVE OR ADAPTIVE, OR, YOU KNOW, FIT INTO THAT CATEGORY OF BEING RESILIENT AND NOT NEEDING AN ABUNDANCE OF WATER TO MAKE SURE THEY THRIVE AND LOOK GOOD IN THE CITY'S MEDIANS. WE ALSO LOOKED AT KIND OF PLANTING DESIGN AND TRIED TO PUT OUR ARMS AROUND WHAT WE THINK IS ESTHETICALLY PLEASING, BUT NOT BEING SO CONSTRICTIVE THAT OTHER CONSULTANTS AND AND DESIGNERS FEEL FREE. THEY HAVE THE LIBERTY TO DESIGN AS THEY SEE FIT. ANOTHER PART OF THE COMPONENT WAS THE HARDSCAPE PALETTE OF LOOKING AT WHAT WE THINK ARE ACCEPTABLE MATERIALS. THAT GOES FROM EVERYTHING SIZE OF AGGREGATE STONES, HOW TO DEAL WITH NOSING EDGING, AND BASICALLY KIND OF DETAILS THAT EXPLORE WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY'S MAINTENANCE PROGRAM GETS A GOOD PRODUCT IN THE END, THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF. AND I THINK WITH THAT, THAT'S A BRIEF HIGHLIGHT OF THE DOCUMENT.

THERE'S QUITE A BIT MORE IN THERE, BUT I THINK THAT COVERS THE GIST OF WHAT WE DID. I GOT ONE QUESTION ON THE ON LIKE THE GROUND COVER PIECE OF IT, AND I MAY HAVE JUST OVERLOOKED THIS IN THE PACKET EARLIER, BUT IS IT IS IT LIKE MULCH OR IS IT ROCKS? WHAT DO WE CALL THEM FOR.

SO THE NON PLANTED NON PLANTED AREAS WE'RE LOOKING AT A ROCK AGGREGATE. SO A ROCK MULCH BASICALLY. AND WE LIKE THAT ESTHETIC AS WELL AS A LONG TERM MAINTENANCE MULCH WILL KIND OF BLOW AWAY AND ERODE AND MIGRATE. WHO KNOWS WHERE. OKAY THAT'S GOOD. YEAH. ROCKS. LOOK I LIVED

THIS WAS PRESENTED AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING DURING WORK SESSION. TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE YOU AN INTRODUCTION TO THE DOCUMENT THIS EVENING, WE ARE REQUESTING APPROVAL THROUGH RESOLUTION, SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JASON GRAY. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AGAIN, MY NAME IS JASON GRAY WITH WILLDAN FINANCIAL SERVICES, 5500 DEMOCRACY DRIVE IN PLANO.

TONIGHT. WE'VE GOT JUST KIND OF A SUMMARY OF THE PRESENTATION THAT I PROVIDED LAST MONTH. AND SO IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, OBVIOUSLY WE CAN DIG INTO WHATEVER LEVEL OF DETAIL YOU WOULD LIKE, BUT DIDN'T SEE A NEED TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION. AGAIN, JUST SORT OF, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, AT A, AT A HIGH LEVEL, GROWTH IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. AS YOU WELL KNOW, WE'VE BUILT THAT INTO THE MODEL, BOTH ON THE NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS AS WELL AS THE VOLUME OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES USED. WE'VE BUILT THE FINANCING OF THAT INTO THE MODEL. WE'VE ASSUMED, ALONGSIDE WITH YOUR STAFF, 316.05 MILLION IN NEW DEBT TO FUND THE UTILITY FUND CIP PROJECTS, WHICH TOGETHER FORM A NEED TO IMPLEMENT A NEW LONG TERM RATE PLAN. LOOKING AT A COMPARISON, THE TWO DIFFERENT PRIMARY RESIDENTIAL METER SIZES THAT YOU HAVE THREE QUARTER INCH METER AND ONE INCH METER. TODAY, A TYPICAL BILL IN SALINA FOR RESIDENCES WITH THOSE WITH THAT SIZE OF METER IS ABOUT 7500 GALLONS OF WATER, 5000 GALLONS OF WASTEWATER. YOU CAN SEE HERE AT A THREE QUARTER INCH METER. THAT'S A $111.49 ON THE ONE INCH METERS. 14859, BOTH WITH FALLING, BOTH FALLING WITHIN THE SAMPLE RANGE THAT WE HAVE. WHEN WE LOOK AT COMMERCIAL. THIS IS FOR, AGAIN, A TYPICAL COMMERCIAL. HOWEVER, RECOGNIZE THAT COMMERCIAL HAS A MUCH WIDER SAMPLE SET, IF YOU WILL. I'VE GOT COMMERCIAL THAT USE LESS THAN RESIDENTIAL AND YOU'VE GOT COMMERCIAL THAT USE 20, 30, 40 TIMES RESIDENTIAL. AND SO FOR A 5000 GALLON COMMERCIAL USER, WHICH AGAIN, IS A FAIRLY COMMON TYPE OF USE, THEY WOULD GET A BILL FOR 1178, AGAIN, FALLING WITHIN THE SAMPLE OF THE CITIES THAT WE TOOK A LOOK AT. JUST RATHER THAN GOING IN DETAIL THROUGH THE ENTIRE METHODOLOGY, WE JUST WANTED TO HAVE A SLIDE HERE THAT KIND OF SHOWS WHAT WE DO AS PART OF THIS METHODOLOGY. WHEN WE LOOK AT YOUR RATES, GENERALLY SPEAKING, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WE ACQUIRE AND REVIEW BASELINE DATA. THAT INCLUDES A NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS THAT YOU HAVE BY CUSTOMER, CLASS, BY METER SIZE, ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. WE DEVELOP BASELINE REVENUE REQUIREMENTS. THAT IS FOR BOTH WHAT WE CALL OUR TEST YEAR, AS WELL AS FOR FUTURE YEARS. WE FORECAST THE FUTURE ACCOUNTS AND VOLUMES. WE ANALYZE AND FORECAST THE COST OF SERVICE, WHICH THEN ESTABLISHES HOW MUCH WE NEED TO RAISE IN REVENUE FROM RATES. AND WE INCORPORATE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING AND THE CIP FUNDING PLAN ITSELF. WE DEVELOP RATE ALTERNATIVES AND THEN FINALIZE THE RATE RECOMMENDATIONS. SO FROM A, FROM A, AGAIN, FROM A KEY ASSUMPTIONS STANDPOINT, WE TAKE YOUR BUDGET, WE GO THROUGH IT LINE BY LINE. WE ASSIGN AN ACCELERATOR FOR EACH OF THOSE.

SOMETIMES THE ACCELERATOR IS STRICTLY INFLATION. SOMETIMES IT'S INFLATION PLUS POPULATION OR ACCOUNT GROWTH. BUT WHATEVER IS THE COST OF DRIVER FOR THAT PARTICULAR LINE ITEM, WE APPLY IT AGAIN, A BIG PART OF THIS, IF YOU KIND OF READ DOWN HERE, I WON'T GO THROUGH EACH BULLET POINT, BUT IS THE CIP THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF ANY COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY IN A FAST GROWTH COMMUNITY. WE ARE LOOKING AT A WATER CIP OF 239.4 MILLION AND A WASTEWATER CIP OF

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT, AGAIN, NO CHANGE IN 2026, A 4% CHANGE OVERALL IN 2027. YOU'LL NOTE THAT THE COMMERCIAL MONTHLY CHARGES DO GO UP AT A SLIGHTLY FASTER PACE. WE ARE

[01:45:01]

SO IF YOU WANT TO COME BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT IN YEAR TWO, THREE, FOUR, WHATEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THE CHANGES IN WHICHEVER DIRECTION YOU DEEM FIT AT THAT POINT. SO UNLIKE TAX RATES THAT YOU HAVE DISCRETION OVER WATER AND SEWER RATES CURRENTLY THIS EVENING, THIS IS JUST APPROVING THE RATE PLAN. CERTAINLY COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGING THE POTENTIAL FOR A RATE INCREASE IN APRIL OF 27 AND 28 THROUGH AN ORDINANCE, STAFF WOULD BE BRINGING THAT BACK TO YOU THIS FALL, MAYBE JANUARY, AND THEN IMPLEMENTING IT AT THAT TIME. THIS EVENING. IT'S JUST APPROVING THE RATE PLAN. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. WITH THAT, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR ITEM G. MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM G. HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO I HAVE A SECOND? HAVE A SECOND FROM PHILLIP. IF EVERYBODY WILL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. OKAY.
