AND, LORD, WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THE, HORRIFIC CONFLICT THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR GENERATIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
AND THE ONLY POSSIBILITY FOR PEACE THERE IS IF YOU DO SOMETHING INCREDIBLE. AND SO I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THE LEADERS INVOLVED WITH THAT WISDOM SO THEY COULD BRING ABOUT PEACE THERE. THANK YOU. IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY. AMEN. THANK YOU.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, AMY. I'M SORRY. IT'S GOING TO GO TO ROBIN VERSUS AMY. AMY IS THE QUESTION. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THANK YOU. PARDON ME. THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS APPOINTED IN NOVEMBER OF 2023 WITH THE PURPOSE OF HELPING TO IMPLEMENT THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN. SINCE THAT TIME, THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE HAS MADE SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO DOWNTOWN PROSPER. AMONG THE PROJECTS IS THE IDEA OF A SERIES OF DECORATIVE ARCHWAYS, OR MONUMENTS THAT WILL CREATE A UNIQUE IDENTITY FOR DOWNTOWN, PROSPER, AND ESTABLISH DOWNTOWN AS A DESTINATION FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED THE TOWN SEEK STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATION FROM QUALIFIED FIRMS FOR THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND PLANNING OF THE DOWNTOWN ARCHWAY STRUCTURE PROJECT. THE TOWN RECEIVED FIVE PROPOSALS, AND THE TOP THREE FIRMS WERE INVITED TO GIVE PRESENTATIONS TO THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE.ALSO IN STUDIO WAS SELECTED AS THE TOP FIRM FOR THE PROJECT. OLSEN STUDIO HAS EXPERIENCE WITH SIMILAR PROJECTS INCLUDING GRANDSCAPE IN THE COLONY AND MULTIPLE OTHER DOWNTOWN GATEWAY AND STREETSCAPE PROJECTS. OLSEN DEMONSTRATED A STRONG UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE IN DOWNTOWN PROSPER AND THE IMPACT THAT THE RIGHT MONUMENTATION CAN HAVE ON ENHANCING THE DOWNTOWN ENVIRONMENT. THE SCOPE OF SERVICES IN THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT OUTLINES SERVICES PROVIDED BY OLSEN THROUGH THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT STAGE.
PHASE ONE IS COMPRISED OF A KICKOFF MEETING WITH STAFF AND THE EVALUATION OF EVALUATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS IN DOWNTOWN. STAFF WILL PROVIDE OLSEN WITH GIS DATA. THE LOCATION OF UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE, SURVEY DATA AND PAST STREETSCAPE STREETSCAPE CONSTRUCTION DATA.
PHASE TWO IS COMPRISED OF A COLLABORATIVE DESIGN WORKSHOP CALLED A CHARRETTE. OLSEN'S DESIGN TEAM WILL MEET WITH THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND A FEW OTHER STAKEHOLDERS THREE TIMES OVER A THREE DAY PERIOD TO DEVELOP A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR THE DOWNTOWN MONUMENTS. OLSEN WILL PROVIDE HAND-DRAWN CONCEPTS AND ELEVATIONS THAT WILL BE EDITED AND REVISED OVER THE COURSE OF THE MEETINGS. BASED ON THE COMMITTEE'S FEEDBACK, RESULTING IN A DRAFT MONUMENTATION MASTER PLAN AND INITIAL CONCEPT DESIGNS. WHILE THE INITIAL IDEA FROM THE COMMITTEE INVOLVED A SERIES OF ARCHWAY STRUCTURES, THE MONUMENTATION PLAN BY OLSEN COULD INCLUDE OTHER ELEMENTS OTHER THAN THE ARCHWAYS. THE FINAL COMPONENT IS PHASE THREE, WHERE OLSEN WILL INCORPORATE FEEDBACK FROM THE CHARRETTE PROCESS TO PRODUCE FINAL CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS FOR THE PROPOSED MONUMENTS. DEPENDING ON THE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMITTEE,
[00:15:03]
THE FINAL CONCEPT DESIGN MASTER PLAN COULD HAVE JUST ONE PRIMARY MONUMENT IN DOWNTOWN, OR IT CAN BE COMPRISED OF A FAMILY OF MONUMENTS THAT ARE COHESIVE IN DESIGN BUT MAY VARY IN SIZE AND SCALE, AND APPEAR IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN. PHASE THREE WILL ALSO INCLUDE AN OPINION OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR THE PROJECT, AND THREE DIMENSIONAL COLOR RENDERINGS OF THE MONUMENTS SELECTED BY THE CHARRETTE PARTICIPANTS. THE PROJECT FEE FOR PHASES ONE THROUGH THREE IS $62,900, PLUS ADDITIONAL REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES UP TO $3,600 FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $66,500. THIS PROJECT WOULD BE FUNDED THROUGH THE DOLLARS THAT WERE ALLOCATED TO THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE BY THE TOWN AND THE EDC FOR DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENTS. THE ESTIMATED TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION IS APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IS COMPLETED. THE DOWNTOWN COMMITTEE AND THE COUNCIL WILL HAVE THE OPTION OF MOVING FORWARD WITH A PREPARATION OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE PROJECT. THOSE SERVICES WOULD BE UNDER A SEPARATE AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. THE COST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS PHASE COULD RANGE FROM 47,000 TO 68,000. DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER AND TYPE OF MONUMENTS THAT ARE BEING DESIGNED. IF THE TOWN COUNCIL DECIDES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT, FUNDING WILL NEED TO BE IDENTIFIED AND THE TOWN WILL OBTAIN BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION. THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE OLSEN STUDIOS PROPOSAL FOR PHASES ONE THROUGH THREE AT THEIR JUNE 3RD MEETING, AND PENDING APPROVAL TONIGHT WILL PROCEED WITH THE SCHEDULING OF THE KICKOFF MEETING AND THEN THE CHARRETTE. THE COMMITTEE HAS RECOMMENDED THE CHARRETTE PARTICIPANTS BE COMPRISED OF THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS THEMSELVES, WHICH INCLUDES THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS PLUS TWO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE, ONE ADDITIONAL DOWNTOWN BUSINESS OWNER AND ONE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPER. SO IN TOTAL IT WOULD BE TEN RESIDENTS PLUS THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE WILL ALSO INCLUDE MEMBERS, STAFF MEMBERS FROM THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT AND ENGINEERING TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND RELEVANT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DOWNTOWN. I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND WE ALSO HAVE BRENNAN KANE, SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER AND LEAD PLANNER WITH OLSEN STUDIO. HE'S ALSO HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE DESIGN PROCESS. SO YES, MA'AM. SO.WHERE ARE. MEMBERS PROVIDING THEM. SO I WANT CLARITY. ON. THAT MEANS ETHICAL OR RIGHT I BELIEVE THAT PROVISION IN KERALA TO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. THAT WOULD BE ANYTHING THAT'S NOT INCLUDED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT. SO WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT, WE ARE ENTITLED TO THAT, THAT MASTER THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN MASTER PLAN FOR PHASES ONE THROUGH THREE. DOES THAT SOUND CORRECT? YES IT. IS THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T OWN THE PRODUCT THAT IS THAT IS PRODUCED SO THAT WE HAVE LIMITED LICENSE TO THE WORK PRODUCT. AND THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING THAT IS IF WE DECIDED TO MOVE ON TO PHASE FOUR, BUT WE WANTED TO GO OUT TO BID FOR THAT , TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE COMPETITIVE, SINCE THEY ALREADY SORT OF HAVE A RANGE, WE MAY WANT TO GO OUT TO BID FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WOULD HAVE WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO THAT OTHERWISE. TONIGHT, WHAT WE'RE AGREEING TO IS THE 60,000 ISH DOLLARS FOR THIS. PLUS, IF WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD, WHICH I ASSUME WE WOULD OR WE WOULDN'T BE DOING, THE DESIGN WOULD BE THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. SO IF WE DON'T OWN THE WORK PRODUCT OR WE CAN'T, YOU KNOW, GO OUT TO BID, WE WERE SORT OF AGREEING ON ABOUT 130,000, REALLY. I THINK I'D LIKE TERRY TO. YEAH, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT. THANK YOU.
IF WE IF WE DECIDE TO USE SOMEONE ELSE TO PREPARE THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, WE CAN DO SO. OKAY. THEIR, THEIR DOCUMENTS ARE COPYRIGHTED THAT THEY PROVIDE TO US. SO THEY, THEY PROVIDE NO WARRANTY OR ANYTHING ELSE OR WE WANT TO USE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO THEY PROVIDE US WITH THE INITIAL DOCUMENTS, AND WE WANT TO GO TO ANOTHER FIRM TO, TO DO THE
[00:20:03]
CONSTRUCTION PLANS OR THEN ULTIMATELY TO BUILD IT. WE CAN DO SO. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PROTECTED UNDER WE WEREN'T YOU KNOW, PIGEONHOLING OURSELVES, YOU KNOW , AND THEY UNDERSTOOD. GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, I HAD ONE MAYOR, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS READING IT CORRECTLY. THAT WHOLE FAMILY MONUMENTS, POTENTIALLY THE DESIGN FOR THOSE IS ALL UNDER THAT $66,000. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. AND WHAT THAT COULD MEAN AND YOU'LL SEE ON THE LIST, IT COULD BE A PRIMARY MONUMENT ALONG WITH A SECONDARY MONUMENT, PERHAPS A GATEWAY MONUMENT, WAYFINDING SIGNAGE AND ICONIC ART PIECE LIKE AN INSTAGRAM SITE. SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE ARE AVAILABLE TO US. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE DETERMINED THROUGH THIS DESIGN PROCESS. SO THE CHARETTES WILL THE OUTCOME OF THE CHARRETTES WILL DETERMINE WHICH, YES, WE WOULD WANT TO PICK ONE, ONE OR ALL. YES, SIR. OKAY. OKAY NO THANK YOU. OKAY.THANK YOU. ONE OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTION I GUESS. COMMENT MORE ON THE FINAL MEETING AT THE MISSUS AND THE DOCUMENTS. IT SAYS THE FINAL MEETING WOULD BE VIRTUAL. BUT WHEN I ASKED THAT QUESTION, TOMORROW, I THINK THE ANSWER WAS IF THE DOWNTOWN COMMITTEE WANTS IT TO BE IN PERSON, THEY'RE WILLING TO COME IN PERSON. SURE, I'LL CONFIRM WITH BRENNAN, BUT I ASSUME WE COULD HAVE THAT MEETING IN PERSON. BRENNAN. WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH THAT? OKAY YES. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. OH, YEAH. SURE. MAKE A MOTION TO. OH, SORRY. I'M SORRY. I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, AND MAYBE WE COVER THIS ALREADY, WITH THOSE, THE CHARRETTES BE SOMETHING THAT I KNOW THAT THAT WE'VE GOT THREE COUNCIL PEOPLE ON ON ON THE COMMITTEE, BUT THAT THE REST OF US COULD ATTEND. I KNOW WE COULDN'T INTERACT OR. YES. AND THAT WAS JUST THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COMMITTEE MADE. IF MORE COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS CHARRETTE PROCESS, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. WE ALL WE WOULD HAVE TO DO IS JUST POST A NOTICE OF QUORUM.
SO ANY OF YOU ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. OKAY. YOU'RE NOT ON THAT. SO JUST SO WE'RE ALL CLEAR. YES, YES. I'M NOT STAYING AWAY. OH AND I, I DID MEAN TO MENTION THAT WE IN PENDING COUNCIL APPROVAL, WE HAVE ALREADY TENTATIVELY, BLOCKED DATES FOR THE CHARRETTE. IT'LL BE JUNE 24TH, 25TH AND 26TH. SO IF WE SINCE IT WAS UPCOMING, WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND GET THAT ON THE CALENDAR PENDING COUNCIL APPROVAL. THANK YOU. THANK A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. THANK YOU. I'LL SECOND. SECOND OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ROBIN, ITEM NUMBER
[8. Consider and act upon approval of a supplemental BuyBoard Contract Purchase Order with GameTime c/o Cunningham Recreation to cover cost increases in the amount of $43,511 for an amount not to exceed $173,625 related to playground installation at Lakewood Park. (DB)]
EIGHT, MR. DAN BAKER. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE'RE COMING TODAY TO ASK FOR AN ADDITIONAL $43,511, DUE TO SOME COST INCREASE FOR THE PLAYGROUND AND SOME INFRASTRUCTURE AT LAKEWOOD PARK. AND I CAN, JUST GIVE SOME EXPLANATIONS ON WHY THAT COST HAS GONE UP, BACK IN 2020 2ND OCTOBER 2022, WE ACTUALLY PURCHASED THE ACTUAL PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, WE WERE NOTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE COST WOULD BE GOING UP, I DON'T RECALL WHAT PERCENTAGE, BUT IT WAS SIGNIFICANT. SO WE WENT AHEAD AND LOCKED THAT IN. WHAT WASN'T LOCKED IN WAS THE SURFACING. AND SOME OTHER ITEMS, WE ALSO FAILED. AND IT WAS, I WOULD SAY, SHARED FAULT. WE, DRAINAGE SYSTEM WAS OMITTED FOR THE PLAYGROUND, AND PLAYGROUNDS BECOME A BASIN. SO THEY CATCH WATER, AND, YOU DON'T WANT YOUR SURFACING TO FLOAT OR BUBBLE OR DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU HAVE. SO, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS MISSED BY THE CONSULTANT AND BY STAFF, HAPPY TO TAKE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ONE THAT'S REALLY NOT IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRAINAGE. YOU ADDRESSED MY QUESTION ABOUT THE DRAINAGE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRAINAGE COST IN THIS INCREASE WAS PRETTY MINIMAL . $1,000, I GUESS MY CONCERN AND MY COMPLAINT JUST FOR THE RECORD, IS THAT THIS PARK. I FEEL LIKE THE COST INCREASE IS DUE TO THE DELAY IN THE CONSTRUCTION PART BECAUSE WE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE ORDERED THE EQUIPMENT, BUT THIS PART WAS SLATED TO BE COMPLETED YEARS AGO. AND I KNOW WE'VE HAD DELAYS WITH THE DEVELOPER AND OTHER THINGS. IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, THE FAULT OF NECESSARILY OF JUST OF STAFF, BUT I, I JUST WANTED TO GO ON THE RECORD SAYING THAT[00:25:01]
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCREASE IS DUE TO THAT REASON. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL INCREASES OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE DELAY OF CONSTRUCTION AND IT JUST KEEPS ESCALATING. SO I WILL BE VERY HAPPY WHEN THIS PARK IS COMPLETED. WE WILL ALL BE THRILLED, I JUST WANTED TO REGISTER THAT. I WISH THERE WAS A WAY WE COULD GO BACK AND CHARGE THE DEVELOPER SOME OF THESE FEES BECAUSE, THAT'S THE INCREASE IS DUE TO ATTACHING THE SIGN AND THINGS HAVE INCREASED IN THE INFLATION. SO, IT'S A FRUSTRATION FOR ME. BUT ONCE THE PARK DONE SO, GIVEN THAT PROBLEM, I CAN PULL UP AND SEE IF THERE'S OTHERS. OH, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY COMPLAINER. IF I CAN ADD ONE MORE NOTE, IF IT. I UNDERSTAND, IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER. WE ARE. WE ARE TRENDING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE ON CONSTRUCTION. WE'RE HOPEFUL WE'LL HAVE IT DONE, POSSIBLY BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR, MAYBE VERY EARLY NEXT. I THINK WE WERE PROPOSING SPRING OF 25. IT COULD BE WE ASKED THIS QUESTION LAST COUNCIL MEETING.SO BE CAREFUL. I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND PULL THE TAPES. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S OKAY.
MARCUS. YEAH, I HAD A QUICK QUESTION. I APPRECIATE THE FORESIGHT TO BUY THE EQUIPMENT EARLY, BUT, I'M LOOKING AT THE INSTALLATION HERE. DID WE CHANGE THE BASING TO THIS RUBBER MATTING OR WAS THIS ALWAYS THE PLAN TO HAVE THIS INSTALLATION SIMPLY BECAUSE IF WE WERE PAYING FOR THE OTHER IN ADVANCE, OR WHY WE WOULDN'T HAVE CONSIDERED THIS AS WELL. SO IN NOT A GOOD EXCUSE, THIS PLAN WAS DONE BEFORE I WAS WITH THE TOWN, I DO NOT RECALL IF IT WAS INITIALLY THE POURED IN PLACE SURFACING, WHICH IS BETTER FOR ACCESSIBILITY, SO I APOLOGIZE. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. THANK YOU. I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE FUNDING, SO THE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE IN THE IN THE ACTUAL PROJECT THAT THIS PROJECT. YES. OKAY. IT GIVES THE ACCOUNT. I MEANT TO ASK THAT EARLIER IN ADVANCE. I'M SORRY, SO ARE RUNNING UNDER BUDGET ON OTHER PIECES OF IT. I MEAN, WHY IS THIS MUCH AVAILABLE? IS IT JUST ALL A CONTINGENCY DOLLARS? THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF CONTINGENCY. WE'VE DONE WE'VE DONE BETTER ON SOME THINGS.
OKAY, THE TIMING IS HELPING AS WELL. OKAY. SO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE CAN FIT IT IN. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL BUDGET. YES SIR. BECAUSE HAD A NUMBER. BUT SO JUST THE INITIAL COMMENT WAS THAT THERE WAS KIND OF A DUAL FAILURE BY STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT ON THIS OR THE CONTRACTOR WHO IS. SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS, THERE WERE SOME THINGS MISSED ON THE DESIGN DOCUMENTS, WHICH THE CONSULTANT PREPARES. STAFF DID NOT. STAFF MISSED THOSE ON UPON REVIEW. SO I CONSIDER THAT A SHARED FAULT, AT THAT TIME WHEN REVIEW WAS GOING ON, WE ALSO HAD A CHANGEOVER IN STAFF. OBVIOUSLY DUDLEY WAS HERE BEFORE I WAS. I CAME IN, PAUL NORTON MOVED ON. WE BROUGHT KURT IN. SO SOME OF THAT WAS THERE WAS SOME LACK OF COMMUNICATION ON SOME OF THE CHANGE OFF, SO I DON'T KNOW IF WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS IS IF. CAN WE CHARGE THAT BACK TO CONSULTANT? I WOULD TELL YOU I THINK IT'D BE HARD TO DO THAT.
GOT IT? YES, SIR. YOU READ THE TEA LEAVES? WELL, YES. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM RIGHT NOW? YOU WANT TO? MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION I'LL SECOND. SECOND BY CAMERON RHYS. ALL IN FAVOR?
[Items 10 & 11]
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ITEM NUMBER TEN IS, MR. HOOVER.I COULD JUMP IN HERE. YOU DON'T? UNLESS MAYBE WE SHOULD GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. I THINK, YEAH. DO YOU? YEAH NO. YOU'LL BE SO GLAD THAT YOU DID IT. YEAH. AND I'M NOT SPEAKING FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY WANT TO TALK IN, I JUST. I AM BOTH THESE ITEMS, YOU KNOW, I TEND TO BE CONSISTENT AND NOT VOTING. I DO WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT STAFF DID, AND ALSO MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS AND GETTING A LOT OF THINGS, CLOSER TO THE LINE, WHEN IT CAME RIGHT DOWN TO IT, IT WASN'T FAR ENOUGH FOR ME, AND THAT'S WHY I VOTED AGAINST IT. AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I PULLED THESE, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T AGREE. WITH THE APPROVAL AT THIS POINT. SO THAT'S THE ONLY PART NOTED. YEAH. MY COMMENT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO CHRIS'S, I DID NOT, VOTE FOR THIS, INITIALLY, BUT I AM IN SUPPORT OF, DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT FOR THE ITEMS THAT WE ARE ENTERTAINING FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO WITH THAT, I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS,
[00:30:04]
COUNCILMAN CARTER. SO TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT SO CLEARLY, THE ITEMS IN THE DOCUMENT, IT'S A QUESTION IT APPEARS THAT ALL ITEMS THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH THE APPLICANT ARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THERE WAS NO NO EXCEPTIONS OR ANYTHING THAT I MAY HAVE MISSED. YES SIR AND NO SIR. OKAY 100% OF THE ITEMS ARE IN THERE, BUT THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT I MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING OUT OF OUR DISCUSSION. SO. BUT I LET COUNCILWOMAN BARTLEY READ IT, SO I'M CONFIDENT THAT EVERYTHING IS THERE. SO YEAH. OKAY, WITH THAT, NORMALLY I WOULD ASK THE PERSON WHO PULLED THE ITEM TO MAKE A MOTION. IN THIS CASE, I'LL ASK SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. DO YOU WANT TO? DO YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO VOTING ON THEM BOTH? CAN YOU VOTE ON BOTH? OKAY. FOR ITEMS NUMBER TEN AND 11. OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION BY AMY BARTLEY. ALL SECOND. SECOND BY CRAIG ANDRUS. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES 5 TO 1.THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT THEN. NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO CITIZENS COMMENTS. I DO NOT SHOW ANY CITIZENS COMMENTS. MICHELLE, DO YOU HAVE ANY. NO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[13. Conduct a public hearing to consider and act upon an ordinance amending Chapter 3, Sections 1 and 2, of the Town of Prosper Zoning Ordinance to add Commercial Drone Delivery Hub use, standards, and definition. (ZONE-24-0010) (DH)]
COUNCIL? SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA PURSUANT TO SECTION 551.007 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL FOR ITEMS LISTED AS PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE RECOGNIZED WHEN THE PUBLIC HEARING HEARING IS OPENED. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13 IS. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER THREE, SECTIONS ONE AND TWO OF THE TOWN OF PROSPER. ZONING ORDINANCE TO ADD COMMERCIAL DRONE DELIVERY HUB USE. STANDARDS AND DEFINITIONS. MR. HOOVER.THAT WAS FAST. I SHOULD HAVE JUST STAYED UP HERE. YES, SIR. SORRY THIS ITEM CAME UP. TO US.
IT CAME UP STAFF ABOUT MAYBE 4 OR 5 WEEKS AGO. WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE TOWN ATTORNEY ABOUT PUTTING SOMETHING TOGETHER THAT WOULD REGULATE THE LOCATION OF. LET ME SEE WHAT'S ON HERE. YEAH, THAT WOULD REGULATE THE LOCATIONS OF THE HUBS FOR THE DRONES. IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU HAD A BUSINESS THAT WAS GOING TO MAKE DELIVERIES FROM THE DRONES, THEY NEED SOMEPLACE THAT THEY CAN HAVE THOSE SORT OF LIKE A DRONE AIRPORT, WE'LL CALL IT, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, OTHER THAN THAN HUB AND WHAT THIS ORDINANCE DOES IS IT PUTS RESTRICTIONS AND REGULATIONS ON WHICH ZONING DISTRICTS THAT THESE HUBS WOULD BE ABLE TO, OCCUR IN, WHICH OBVIOUSLY HAS TO GO WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE A BUILDING. IF IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE ROOF, THEN THERE'S RESTRICTIONS FOR THAT. BUT PRIMARILY WHAT THIS DOES IS IT REGULATES THE LOCATION OF THE HUB. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF DRONES COMING FROM SOMEPLACE ELSE. LIKE IF THERE IS A LOCATION IN PLANO THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE DELIVERIES, FAA TENDS TO BE THE BODY THAT REGULATES THOSE. AND SO WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT AND SEE WHAT OUR TOWN ATTORNEY MAY BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH FOR US AT THAT TIME. BUT BUT PRIMARILY WHAT THIS DOES IS IT ELIMINATES THE OR EXCUSE ME, IT LIMITS THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE HUBS CAN BE. AND THERE'S ALSO SOME DEFINITIONS OF WHAT CONSTITUTES A HUB AND WHAT CONSTITUTES A STAGING AREA AND THAT SORT OF THING, AND WHICH WILL ALL FOLD INTO OUR REGULAR ZONING ORDINANCE AND DEFINITIONS . BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS DOES.
WENT TO P AND Z LAST WEEK, AND THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL. THEY WERE UNANIMOUS ON THAT. AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THE TOWN ATTORNEY WILL BE HAPPY TO END THEM. I'M KIDDING. I THINK WE'RE GOOD. BUT IF YOU DO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OBVIOUSLY WE'LL ANSWER THEM. YEAH, IF I MAY, THE. SO, DO WE HAVE A SENSE? I KNOW WE DON'T GOVERN THE FAA UAV
[00:35:06]
, FLIGHT PLANS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT DO WE HAVE A SENSE HAVE WE LOOKED AT THOSE? BECAUSE I THINK FOR ME, MAYBE IT'S JUST I DON'T UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING ENTIRELY, BUT I HAD A HARD TIME, LIKE GOING, OKAY, WELL, THESE THESE ZONES OR LOCATIONS ARE GOING TO BE GOOD WITHOUT KNOWING KIND OF HOW HOW HOW THAT LOOKS. BECAUSE MY CONCERN IS, IS, IS IF YOU HAVE A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA AND THAT THERE ARE THESE DRONES ARE COMING IN OVER NEAR A NEIGHBORHOOD OR WHATEVER, AND I KNOW THEY DON'T MAKE A LOT OF NOISE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I'VE BEEN IN PROSPER LONG ENOUGH TO SEE NEGATIVE REACTIONS TO UAVS, FLYING AROUND LIKE SEVERE NEGATIVE REACTIONS. AND SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. AND MAYBE IT'S PREMATURE, BUT I'M JUST I'M JUST REALLY KIND OF WONDERING ABOUT WHAT THE ANSWER MIGHT BE THERE, I CAN TELL YOU ONE OTHER PROVISION THAT'S IN HERE THAT I FORGOT TO MENTION. I'M SORRY, IS THAT EACH OF THESE, EVEN WITHIN THE ZONING DISTRICTS, WOULD ALSO REQUIRE AN ACP. OKAY. RIGHT. SO PART OF THAT PROCESS, WE'D BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION ON THE PARTICULAR LOCATION. BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW , WE DID NOT DO THAT CITYWIDE AS FAR AS HOW THE FLIGHT TRAFFIC MIGHT ACTUALLY BE, BUT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AS THEY'RE COMING IN, THEN I THINK WE'D BE ABLE TO DO THAT ACCENT THAT I BELIEVE SO. AND IF I COULD ADD ONE THING, I ADDED A PROVISION NEAR THE END OF THE ORDINANCE THAT SAYS NOTHING HEREIN SHALL PROHIBIT THE INCLUSION OF THE SITE SPECIFIC STANDARDS OR REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING THOSE RELATED TO SAFETY. SO I KIND OF DID THAT AS A FAIL SAFE. THERE'S A QUESTION TO WHAT EXTENT THE STATE WILL EVENTUALLY LET US REGULATE THIS, SO WE WANT TO HAVE AN ORDINANCE IN PLACE IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS STATE REGULATION THAT COMES DOWN THE LINE AND OF COURSE, IF THE FEDS DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THEN WE WILL FOLLOW THE FAA GUIDELINES AND THEN ANY FEDERAL REGULATIONS . BUT WITH THE SUP PROCESS AND WITH THE SPECIFIC STANDARDS INCLUDED, I THINK WE HAVE PROBABLY RETAINED AS MUCH CONTROL AS WE CAN ON, ON, ON SITE SPECIFIC ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE. OKAY. SO I INTERPRET THAT TO MEAN THAT, THAT WHEN WE GET THERE DOWN THE ROAD, AT SOME POINT WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME WAY OF ANALYZING THOSE, THOSE PATHS AND, AND PATTERNS AND ALL SORTS OF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ISSUES ANALYZING THE PAST ONCE THEY'RE IN THE AIR. I MEAN, THE FAA TAKES OVER ON THAT. SO I THIS IS MORE OF THE LOCATION ON THE GROUND. WHAT THE WHAT THE STANDARDS ARE ON THE GROUND.OKAY. SO WE CAN'T SAY YOU CAN'T GO FROM HERE TO THERE, BUT WE CAN SAY ONCE YOU'RE HERE IN OUR TOWN, HERE ARE THE REGULATIONS ABOUT ABOUT SETBACKS AND ALL THOSE, ALL THOSE SAFETY SPECIFIC ISSUES, NOT, YOU KNOW, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO OVER A, WE TRY TO KEEP IT KIND OF OFF THE BEATEN PATH TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE AND NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING LOT, FOR EXAMPLE, OF A COMMERCIAL USE OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. BUT THOSE ARE GOING TO BE WHEN THEY COME TO US. WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THEM AND REGULATE ACCORDINGLY. OKAY? OKAY WELL THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
SO I'D ASK FOR THIS TO COME FORWARD. SO THANK YOU FOR THINKING ABOUT IT. AND GETTING IT AT LEAST OUT IN FRONT OF US A LITTLE BIT. I THINK THIS IS THE VERY EDGE OF THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, VERY EDGE OF THIS. AND IN MY MIND I CAN PICTURE A, INTERNET DELIVERY COMPANY PULLING UP A VAN, STOPPING IN THE PARKING LOT, OFFLOAD THEIR DRONES AND SEND THEM TO ALL THE LITTLE PLACES. THERE'S A THOUSAND ITERATIONS OF HOW THIS IS GOING TO PLAY OUT, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU GETTING IT AT LEAST. SO WE GET EVERYONE THINKING ABOUT IT. AND THIS MAY SOUND FUTURISTIC RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S NOT THAT FAR OFF. SO, THE OTHER AND THIS IS THIS IS NOT PART OF THIS ORDINANCE, BUT WHAT IS NOT COMING TO FAR AWAY IS, AIR TAXIS WITH SMALL DRONE LIKE FEATURES WHERE, WE'LL NEED TO HAVE THEY'LL BE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO COME UP INTO AND WE'LL NEED LANDING AREAS FOR THEM. SO THE CITY OF DALLAS ALREADY HAS PLANS FOR THAT. THEY JUST WORK ON THAT VERY ISSUE. OKAY. GOING UP AND DOWN. YEAH. AND THEN IS IT A HELIPAD BECAUSE HELIPADS ARE PROHIBITED IN THE TOWN. BUT IF IT'S AN AIR. SO THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS AND IT'S ALL RELATED TO THIS TYPE OF ORDINANCE. SO YEAH, I'M FOR AN AIR TAXI GO DOWN TOLLWAY OR SOMETHING. ANYWAY BUT THANK YOU, DAVID. THANK YOU. TERRY, BUT I JUST THINK WE NEED TO BE, IN THE FOREFRONT OF THINKING ABOUT THESE TYPE OF THINGS AS WE DO THIS. SO WITH THAT, IS THERE ANY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR, DAVID OR TOWN ATTORNEY, ANYBODY TO MAKE A MOTION OR. I'M SORRY, WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME, THIS ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING, THEREFORE IT IS OPEN. IS THERE ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON
[00:40:04]

YES, MARIO AND I ATTENDED A MEETING IN DENTON WITH SOME OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, UNT TEXAS WOMEN'S AND, COMMUNITY COLLEGES, JUST TO TALK ABOUT A REGIONAL APPROACH TO ADDRESSING SOME OF THESE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING TOWARDS US, SO THAT THAT WILL BE A REGULAR MEETING THAT WE WILL ATTEND. AND THEN, MAYOR BRISTOL IS GOING TO BE SERVING AS A DELEGATE AT THE HTML MUNICIPAL, MUNICIPAL POLICY SUMMIT IN AUGUST. SO HE WILL BE VERY AWARE OF EVERYTHING THAT HTML IS GOING TO BE CONSIDERING FOR THEIR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA.

SO WE WILL WE WILL KEEP INVITING THEM, THEY SEEM RECEPTIVE TO THAT IDEA. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE? OKAY. DOWNTOWN COMMITTEE MET. I BELIEVE HE'S. I WOULD SAY THE MAIN THING THAT WE DISCUSSED WAS THIS. AND ALSO, REGARDS TO THE LOGO COMPETITION. THEY CHOSE A WINNER, LEARN ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK, BUT THOSE ARE THE MAIN THINGS, DISCUSSION ON THIS GOING FORWARD. SO. OKAY. THANK YOU. KECK. DID THEY MEET CDC DIDN'T YEAH. THEY DIDN'T GO. YEAH. THAT WAS A HUGE THANK YOU FOR A BRIEF ON THAT. THANKS, ROBIN. I WAS THINKING ABOUT FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING MEET BEFORE THEN, BUT YEAH. SO CELEBRATE PROSPER IS A BIG TOPIC. AND SURE APPRECIATE DAN COMING AND TALKING THROUGH A LOT OF IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS.
AND, THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND IT IS DO, BIGGER, BOLDER, BUT COMPRESS SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT WE'RE DOING, THERE WAS ALSO A DISCUSSION AROUND EVEN THE PROSPER PASSPORT IS AWESOME. THE NEW RESIDENT MIX. WE'RE TRYING TO FOLD THAT IN, OR DO IT IN LESS FREQUENCY. SO WE HAVE A GREATER ATTENDANCE. YEAH. SO THOSE ARE STILL ITEMS IN FLIGHT. BUT THAT COMMITTEE WAS STILL ENGAGED. AND I THINK THAT AS WE TALKED ABOUT WITH BARBECUE COMPETITION AND OTHER THINGS IS PRETTY EXCITING. SO OKAY. GOOD. NOW THAT'S IT. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THE COMMITTEES? OKAY. GREAT, OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEMS ARE POSSIBLY DIRECT TOWN STAFF TO SCHEDULE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION AT A FUTURE MEETING. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO BROUGHT FORWARD TO A FUTURE MEETING? I WILL HAVE ONE IN PARTICULAR. AND IT IS A, DISCUSSION OF OR A DISCUSSION WITH OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH ON THE MAINTENANCE OF PARVIN ROAD. I GET REPEATED INTENSE COMPLAINTS OF THE DETERIORO OF THAT ROAD AT AN EXTREMELY RAPID RATE. AND I KNOW WE'RE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF IT, BUT IT'S INCONVENIENCING BOTH, MUNICIPALITIES. SO IF WE CAN HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT PARTICULAR ONE, I KNOW, AND THEY'RE WORKING ON IT, I JUST DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO ASSIST THEM ON THAT. SO THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS ITEMS, CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF COMPLETING SOME OF THE MEDIANS LANDSCAPING, ESPECIALLY WITH, KOI? I THINK THERE'S, THERE'S SEVERAL AROUND
[00:45:06]
TOWN THAT JUST THE ROCKS WERE DONE, BUT THE, THE PLANT MATERIAL HASN'T BEEN REPLACED.I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I'VE GOT ONE TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON. THAT IS REALLY, PERTAINING TO LOTS THA ARE, YOU KNOW, FOR SALE, WHERE? NEXT TO THE HIGHWAY SPECIFICALLY 380 AND OTHER NORTH AND SOUTH, EAST AND WEST, THE GRASS IS EXTREMELY HIGH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE SOME KIND OF PROVISION THAT WHILE THE WHOLE LOT DOESN'T NEED TO BE MOWED, YOU KNOW, MAYBE 6 TO 8FT OFF OF THE SIDEWALK OR THE STREET NEEDS TO BE MOWED BECAUSE IT IS, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE MAINTAINED, THAT GOES HAND IN HAND WITH US MAINTAINING OUR PERIMETERS, THERE'S A LOT OF TRASH STILL ON 380 ON RAMP, OFF RAMP. THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR MOTORCYCLE RIDERS AND ANYBODY ELSE THAT HAS A LOW RIDING VEHICLE, I THINK THE OTHER SORRY, SAME THOUGHT IS ALONG PROSPER TRAIL, NORTH SIDE OF NEXT TO THE GOLF COURSE. THAT GRASS IS GETTING HIGH. AND KNOW THAT THAT'S A CONSISTENT YOU HAVE TO SAY I THINK OKAY WE'LL MAKE SURE THE EDGE IT TOO, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL CUT IT AND LEAVE ON THE RIGHT. WELL IT JUST SHOULD BE A COMPLETE PRODUCT. AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, I KNOW IT SEEMS IT ALL KIND OF GOES IN THE SAME THING.
MAINTENANCE. THE REQUEST FOR THE AGENDA ITEM IS AN UPDATE ON THE MAINTENANCE OF THE IN CONSIDERATION OF SOMETHING ORDINANCE ALLOW FOR LOTS THAT ARE NOT, YOU KNOW, UNDER DEVELOPMENT. OKAY THANKS. OKAY. SURE. OKAY. IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS, YEAH. AND I DON'T KNOW.
YES, MAYOR, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF YOU GUYS HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ALREADY, BUT I CONTINUE TO GET PHONE CALLS AND PICTURES ABOUT THE SECTION OF COYOTE ROAD NORTH OF, PROSPER TRAIL TO, FRONTIER PARKWAY. AND JUST, PEOPLE UPSET ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD. I KNOW STAFF AND I APPRECIATE THAT STAFF HAS DONE A GOOD JOB. I THINK IN KEEPING SOME OF THE BIGGER VEHICLES THAT ARE PART OF THE TRUCK ORDINANCE OFF, THOSE ROADS. I THINK THAT PART OF THE ROAD, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A STRETCH. I UNDERSTAND, BETWEEN THE TIME WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO APPROVE THAT ROAD TO CURB AND GUTTER. AND SO MAYBE A STRATEGY, MAYBE, I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE MAYBE THAT WE GET AN UPDATE, AND MAYBE, PROPOSE A STRATEGY FOR HOW WE CAN MAINTAIN THAT ROAD. BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU, WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM FOLKS. COUNCILWOMAN BARTLEY'S BROUGHT UP SOMETHING. IS THAT SOMETHING, PERHAPS, THAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS IN THE CIP MEETING TO GO THROUGH IT? THAT WAY, WE AT YOUR NEXT CALLED MEETING AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIND A DATE IS BRING UP SOME OF THOSE OPTIONS OF, YEAH, SWAPPING OUT PROJECTS ONE FOR A DIFFERENT ONE TO SEE IF WE CAN ACCELERATE THAT PROJECT. JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, WE JUST WE HAVE I THINK WE REDID OUR LAST CIP MEETING. I THINK YOU WERE ON THE CRUISE, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT AND, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO ACCELERATE THAT PROJECT, SO CIP IS TALKING ABOUT IT AND SOME OF IT'S GOING TO BE HAND IN HAND WITH FINANCE BECAUSE SOME OF IT'S A FUNDING ISSUE. SO WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THAT. OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU.
