OKAY, JUST A COUPLE. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO TRY THIS. IT WORKS. OKAY. SO YOU GET TO HEAR ME CRY EVEN LOUDER, A LITTLE KNOWN SECRET ABOUT ME. I KNOW ROBIN KNOWS. THIS IS. I HATE TO CRY BECAUSE I'M A REALLY UGLY CRIER, SO I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO HAVE TO SEE THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS I DO WANT TO SAY IS THAT LOVING LIBRARIES IS SO EASY TO ME. LITTLE KNOWN FACT THERE ARE MORE PUBLIC LIBRARIES THAN THERE ARE MCDONALD'S. AND I LOVE THAT. I LOVE THAT WE, EMBRACE AN INSTITUTION WHICH IS FREE. AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR OUR RESIDENTS. AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE MEDICAL LIBRARIES AND LAW LIBRARIES AND, HOSPITAL LIBRARIES AND UNIVERSITY AND PRESIDENTIAL AND ALL THE OTHER LIBRARIES THAT SERVE OUR COMMUNITY, I DO WANT TO THANK THREE OF MY MAIN MENTORS WHO AND WEB CHUCK SPRINGER, WHO, MANY OF YOU, HOPEFULLY REMEMBER CHUCK AND ROBIN BATTLE. I'VE HAD SOME OF THE BEST MENTORS. I'VE HAD SOME OF THE BEST, TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS PAST AND PRESENT, AND A LITTLE STORY I WANT TO SHARE AS WELL IS THAT WHEN WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE NEW LIBRARY, THE COMMITTEE WAS CONDUCTOR JAMES DIXON AND CORY GOEBEL, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THIS OR WAS INCREDIBLY IMPACTFUL TO ME. WE MET IN THE MODULAR, AND I HAD A WHOLE, POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ABOUT WHAT LIBRARIES COULD BE. AND THESE THREE MEN WERE VERY CALM, SMILING FACES JUST LETTING ME GO ON AND DO MY PRESENTATION. AND I SAID, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? AND THEY SAID, NO, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW. IF WE DO, WE TRUST YOU. AND THAT MEANT EVERY QUESTION, EVERYTHING. AND ONCE IN A WHILE THEY MIGHT CALL ME AND ASK ME ABOUT, DOES THIS MAKE SENSE TO YOU? AND I SAY, YES. AND THEY ALWAYS TRUSTED ME, AND I, I APPRECIATED THAT SO MUCH. AND THOSE THREE MEN ARE VERY DIFFERENT AND THEY COME FROM BUILDING THIS TOWN IN A DIFFERENT, FRAME AND A VIEW. AND YET I WON ALL THREE OVER BECAUSE I THINK OF MY PASSION. SO. AND I AM STILL FRIENDS WITH THOSE THOSE THREE TURNED INTO FROM MENTORS TO FRIENDS. AND I VALUE THOSE FRIENDSHIPS AND THOSE THAT HAS HAPPENED A MILLION TIMES TO US, I'VE WATCHED KIDDOS GROW UP AND I'VE BEEN INVITED TO, CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS THAT I WAS TOLD, DON'T BE LATE. I DON'T KNOW WHY I WAS EVER TOLD, DON'T BE LATE. I'VE NEVER BEEN LATE, BUT I DO. THOSE ARE THE THINGS I LOVE. AND I'VE BEEN INVITED TO GRADUATION CEREMONIES. I'VE WRITTEN COLLEGE APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION LETTERS. I'VE JUST. AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE HAS MEANT THE WORLD TO ME. I LOVE MY TEETH. SORRY, TODD. YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE TWO OF YOUR BIGGEST FACEBOOK LIBRARY FANS. MY MOTHER IN LAW AND MY MOTHER TAKING THEM WITH ME. THEY DO LOVE MY FACEBOOK, I DO WANT TO THANK MY FAMILY, MY DAUGHTER OVER TEN YEARS AGO, I SAID YOU SHOULD DO IT. YOU SHOULD APPLY FOR THIS JOB. AND I THINK IT HELPED THAT MY HUSBAND THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THAT THANK YOU. LESLIE AS YOU MAY

PROSPER, THAT'S FOR SURE. I TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE. AND ALSO THE PEOPLE THAT USE THOSE RESOURCES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY, TO THE SAFEST THAT WE CAN TO OUR ABILITIES, ONE OF THE MAIN PEOPLE I'D LIKE TO, TO BRING UP TONIGHT, ALONG WITH IT, IS, RANDALL GURNEY, OUR, OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR, WHO DOES A FANTASTIC JOB, WE HAVE MANY 1 OR 2 A.M. CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE WEATHER AND WHAT IT'S DOING.

ALONG SOMETIMES WITH THE MAYOR AND, BUT, WE DO TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY, AND I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR ALL THE HELP THAT I GET THIS EVENING, I'D LIKE TO BRING UP, TOM BRADSHAW. HE'S THE METEOROLOGIST IN CHARGE FOR THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN FORT WORTH, ALONG WITH SARAH BARNES, ALSO METEOROLOGIST FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN FORT WORTH WHO HAVE BRAVELY CAME FRO, DOWN THE 380 CORRIDOR, GOT GOT CAUGHT IN A CAR FIRE. THEY GOT BLOCKED. BUT WE'RE STILL HERE ON TIME, SO WE'RE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THEM HERE. WITH THAT, I'LL TURN THIS OVER TO THEM. THANK YOU CHIEF. THANK YOU STEVE, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR BRISTOL AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, ON BEHALF OF SARAH, MY COLLEAGUE HERE, AND THE ENTIRE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, WE'RE REALLY HONORED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO RECOGNIZE THE CITY OF PROSPER, TO RECOGNIZE CHIEF CLASSNAME AND RANDALL GURNEY, THE DIRECTOR. SO STORMREADY IS A PROGRAM. THE WEATHER SERVICE, YOU KNOW, ADMINISTERS NATIONWIDE. THERE ARE 121 COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT ARE STORM READY CERTIFIED. SO WHEN YOU THINK OF THE THOUSANDS OF COMMUNITIES OR HUNDREDS AT LEAST, THAT EXIST ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS TO BE ONE OF THE 121 REALLY SAYS A LOT ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY. AND SO THE STORMREADY PROGRAM IS JUST AN END TO END PROCESS WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND THE RISKS, YOU UNDERSTAND HOW TO GET WARNINGS AND HOW TO HOW TO WORK WITH YOUR OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. YOU KNOW HOW TO GET THE WARNINGS OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND HOW TO COMMUNICATE THAT SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO BE SAFE. AND THEN YOU LOOK AT HOW YOU TRAIN AND YOU EDUCATE PEOPLE FOR THE NEXT STORM. THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE ANOTHER STORM. YOU KNOW, WE KNOW HOW BUSY THIS PAST SPRING WAS. YOU KNOW, RIGHT UP THE ROAD WHAT HAPPENED IN SALINA AND OVER IN VALLEY VIEW. SO IT REALLY BRINGS TO HOME KIND OF WHAT KIND OF IMPACTS WE CAN REALLY HAVE HERE IN NORTH TEXAS. AND SO THE, THE ENERGY AND THE TIME AND THE COMMITMENT THAT YOU ALL HAVE MADE TO GO THROUGH TO BE STORM READY, YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING RE CERTIFIED HERE. SO THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'VE DONE FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW. BUT BUT WHAT YOU KNOW CHIEF BLASINGAME AND WHAT RANDALL GURNEY HAD BEEN A PART OF HERE TO, TO LEAD THE COMMUNITY REALLY SPEAKS A LOT. SO WE'RE REALLY HONORED TO BE HERE. AND WE REALLY ARE HAPPY TO RECOGNIZE YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE ACHIEVED TO KEEP YOUR COMMUNITY SAFE FROM WEATHER HAZARDS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

HEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS TO CHIEF BLAST GAME. AND RANDALL ALSO ON THAT.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

[00:20:05]

[CITIZEN COMMENTS]

NO EXCEPTIONS. ALWAYS UNLOAD A FIREARM BEFORE YOU HANDLE IT. ALWAYS. NEVER PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO SHOOT. THIS IS JUST A SAFETY MECHANISM. YOU DON'T. DON'T PUT IT THERE UNTIL YOU'RE READY, ALWAYS GET THE HABIT OF ENGAGING THE SAFETY ON A FIREARM THAT HAS. IF IT HAS ONE. NEVER POINT A FIREARM AT ANYBODY OR ANYTHING UNLESS YOU'RE HUNG OR GO TO SHIELD. ALWAYS, ALWAYS WEAR HEARING PROTECTION. I DID NOT. THAT'S WHY I HAVE HEARING AIDS RIGHT NOW. I NEVER FIRED THE HEARING PROTECTION. I WAS A KID AND BASED ON THE COMMENTS, THE GENTLEMAN BEFORE ME ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS SECURE YOUR FIREARMS SAFELY. FIRE SAFE, GUN SAFE. WHATEVER. KEEP THEM SECUR. NEVER FIRE A PEACEFUL RIFLE OR SHOTGUN UNTIL YOU HAVE A CLEAR TARGET. DON'T BE THE PERSON THAT SHOOTS THE DOVE OR A QUAIL AND BLOWS ONE OF YOUR HUNTING PARTNERS AWAY IN THE FACE WITH BUCKSHOT. NOW THESE ARE MY RULES FOR GUN SAFETY, AND OTHERS MAY HAVE OTHER RULES, WHICH IS FINE. THESE AREN'T ALL INCLUSIVE, BUT I WONDER IF THE TOWN COULD INITIATE A FORMAL FIREARM SAFETY PROGRAM FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND FOR OUR CHILDREN. FIREARM TRAINING IS VERY IMPORTANT, BUT IT'S SO OFTEN, OFTEN NEGLECTED, AND I THINK WE ALL NEED TO BE AWARE FIREARMS OF DEADLY THINGS. SO YOU TREAT IT THAT WAY. MY CLOSING STATEMENT THE FIREARM HAS BEEN THE BACKBONE OF OUR COUNTRY FOR INDEPENDENCE, AND THE FIREARM WILL KEEP OUR FREEDOMS. SO THANK YOU. AND, JUST KEEP IN MIND, FIREARMS NEED TO BE SECURED, SAFE AND TREATED ACCORDINGLY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR. DIXON. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK FOR
