[16. Consider and act upon a Park Improvement Fee Agreement between the Town of Prosper, PPP 100 Dev, LLC, and Shaddock-Prosper Park Place 2, LLC, for the Park Place and Prosper Hills developments. (DB)]

WHICH IS OUR REGULAR AGENDA. AND 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 IS OPEN. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 16 IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A PARK IMPROVEMENT FEE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN OF PROSPER PB 100 DEV, LLC AND SHATTUCK PROSPER PARK PLACE TWO, LLC FOR THE PARK PLACE AND PROSPER HILLS DEVELOPMENT. MR. DAN BAKER. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. HERE TONIGHT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU. AND FIRST WE'D LIKE TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A GEOGRAPHIC REFERENCE TO AS TO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO HERE.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP YOU'LL SEE WINDSONG COMMUNITY PARK NOT YET DEVELOPED. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE DASHED LINE COMING ACROSS THE TOP. THAT'S THE WEB, WHICH I THINK WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THAT IS. AND THEN THE TWO DEVELOPMENTS TO THE SOUTH, PROSPER HILLS AND PARK PLACE.

JUST TO REMIND YOU, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE SECTION SIX SPELLS OUT HOW WE GO GET OUR PARK IMPROVEMENT FEES, $1,500 PER SINGLE FAMILY UNIT. AND JUST FOR REFERENCE, ALL WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT ARE SINGLE FAMILY. THERE'S NO MULTIFAMILY, BUT IF THERE'S MULTIFAMILY, THERE'D BE $2,000 PER DOOR. AND THEN PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES, WHICH WE HAVE THE CHOICE TO TAKE THE GREATER OF THE TWO, WHICH WOULD BE ONE ACRE PER 35 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, OR 5% OF THE TOTAL ACREAGE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN QUESTION. NOW, IN THIS INSTANCE, THE TOP ONE APPLIES THAT IS A GREATER NUMBER THAN THE BOTTOM. SO MOVING FORWARD ON CALCULATING THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FEES. THE PARK PLACE DEVELOPMENT IS 206 LOTS AT THE $1,500, FOR A TOTAL OF 309,000.

PROSPER HILLS HAS 166 LOTS. THESE ARE ALL SINGLE FAMILY. AGAIN, $1,500 FOR 249. SO THE TOTAL PARK IMPROVEMENT FEES IS $558,000 FOR PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES. PARK PLACE HAS THE 206 LOTS. YOU DIVIDE THAT BY THE 35 UNITS THAT YIELDS ALMOST SIX ACRES. THE DENTON COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT VALUE OF THAT LAND PER ACRE IS A LITTLE OVER $180,000, YIELDING 638,270.

PROSPER HILLS AGAIN THE 166 LOTS DIVIDED BY 35 UNITS, ALMOST FIVE ACRES. THOSE ARE VALUED A LITTLE LOWER AT $90,000. FOR THE TOTAL PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES OF JUST OVER $1 MILLION. COMBINING THE TWO. WE'RE AT A LITTLE OVER $1.6 MILLION. NOW WE'VE GOT PARK CREDITS THAT WE'RE TALKING WITH THE DEVELOPER, AND I'VE ALSO GOT. I'M SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE SAID IT EARLIER. CLINT RICHARDSON WITH THE DEVELOPER IS HERE THIS EVENING, SO HE CAN CERTAINLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ASK HIM. AND I'LL DO MY BEST AS WELL. SO IN TALKS WITH THE DEVELOPER, WE ARE LOOKING TO SEE IF WE CAN'T ACTIVATE THAT PARK A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. WINDSONG COMMUNITY PARK. SO THEY'VE OFFERED TO BUILD THE 12 FOOT VILAWEB TRAIL 250 LINEAR FEET. THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PUT IN A SIX INCH, EXCUSE ME, SIX FOOT SIDEWALK TRAIL ALONG PROSPER TRAILS.

PROSPER TRAIL. THEY'VE OFFERED TO. WELL, WE'VE ASKED THEM TO GO UP TO TEN FOOT SO THEY WOULD GET CREDIT FOR THE DIFFERENCE OF THOSE TWO. SOME PRIMITIVE TRAIL TRAIL DEVELOPMENT, A LITTLE OVER

[00:10:03]

6000 LINEAR FEET, AND SOME SITE FURNISHINGS TO GO ALONG WITH THINGS LIKE TRAILS, MAYBE PICNIC TABLES. WE WOULD DICTATE. WE DETERMINE WHAT THOSE WOULD NEED TO BE. SO ALL THOSE THINGS TOGETHER, A LITTLE OVER $136,000. NOW THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE OURS. THEY GET PLACED IN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT, AND THEN WE REIMBURSE WHEN WE GET THE ACTUAL EXPENSES THAT COME IN. NOW WE ALSO WE GET TO DETERMINE WHAT GOES ON THERE. WE APPROVE DESIGN SCHEDULING AS BIDS COME IN. WE CAN ACCEPT OR REJECT THOSE. AND AGAIN THIS REALLY JUST ALLOWS FOR THE PARK TO BECOME USEFUL.

SINCE WE REALLY HAVE NO FUNDING TO DO ANY DEVELOPMENT OF THAT PARK AT THIS TIME. AND THAT 436 COMES OUT OF THE 1.6 MILLION. CORRECT? CORRECT. YES, MA'AM. I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T. NO. YOU'RE FINE. I'M SORRY. SURE. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO PRESENT TO YOU. SO I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. AND CLINT WOULD BE HAPPY TO COME UP HERE AS WELL, IF YOU'D LIKE TO. ALL RIGHT. SO.

EARLIER IN THE CONSENT AGENDA, CAN YOU. WE APPROVED PART OF THIS ALREADY IN TERMS OF THE LAND, I BELIEVE. CORRECT. THAT'S RIGHT. SORRY. DISREGARD. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO THE SO JUST TO UNDERSTAND THE THIS IS AN OPTIONAL WAY OF DOING IT. WE COULD PUT THESE FUNDS ANYWHERE WE WOULD WANT TO. AND WE'RE LOOKING TO SPECIFICALLY ACTIVATE THIS PARTICULAR PARK EARLIER THAN WHAT YOUR DEPARTMENT WOULD BE READY TO DO. CORRECT. CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO COUNCIL QUESTIONS. LET ME ALSO ADD THERE IS A DESIRE FROM THE DEVELOPER AND I DON'T DISAGREE TO PUT THESE FUNDS CLOSE TO WHERE THESE DEVELOPMENT FEES ARE BEING DERIVED FROM. SO AND IS THERE A HISTORICAL RECORD OF OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT? YES, SIR. MOST OF WINDSONG RANCH STAR TRAIL HAS DONE THIS. WE DID IT RECENTLY AT LAKEWOOD PARK. THERE'S QUITE A FEW. NOT A LOT THAT SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. JUST A COUPLE. BUT YES, IN THE HISTORY OF OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT IN PARK DEVELOPMENT, THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE A BIT. OKAY. WHILE ON ONE SONG, STAR TRAIL, LAKEWOOD, THEY DONATED LAND AND BUILT THE PARK LIKE A PUBLIC PARK. THIS IS JUST TRAILS, CORRECT? CORRECT. SO. AND AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK TO SOMETHING I WASN'T HERE FOR, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS. SO WE COULD LET ME BACK UP ON THIS A LITTLE BIT SO WE COULD GO BACK AND TELL ONE OF THE PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES, HEY, WE DON'T WANT THE MONEY. WE'D RATHER HAVE THE 5.88 ACRES AND THE 4.7 ACRES. THE THOUGHT ON THIS WAS, YOU'VE GOT A 40 SOMETHING ACRE PARK DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEM. WE'VE GOT ETHERIDGE PARK, WE'VE GOT HACKBERRY PARK, AND YOU'VE GOT STAR TRAIL NUMBER THREE IN PRETTY CLOSE PROXIMITY. SO THAT'S THE REASONING BEHIND THIS CHOICE. SO WHEN PARKS PARKS BOARD TALKED THROUGH THIS, WHAT WAS THEIR REASONING FOR ACCEPTING THIS PROJECT. THE TRAIL IMPROVEMENT COST PROJECT OF 4.36. AND THE REASON WHY I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE WE SORT OF TRIED THIS AT RAYMOND BEFORE IT WAS READY TO BE DEVELOPED, AND REALLY PEOPLE DIDN'T USE IT. AND THAT'S WHY I'M KIND OF LIKE, WE HAVE SO MANY PARK NEEDS IN OUR BECAUSE THIS REALLY ONLY IMPACTS THE, WHAT, 372 HOMES THAT ARE RIGHT THERE THAT WOULD MAYBE GO ACROSS THIS, MAYBE GO ACROSS THE STREET AND USE THAT AREA RATHER THAN IMPACTING A LAKEWOOD ARRANGEMENT, YOU KNOW, WITH AMENITIES THAT A LOT MORE RESIDENTS WOULD USE. SO THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S MY KIND OF LIKE I DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC OF IT, ESPECIALLY ON A PARK THAT I MEAN, HAVE WE MASTER PLANNED IT YET? WE HAVE. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET WE'RE KIND OF STUCK WITH THAT. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING THROUGH FOR THE PARK. WE DID KELLY'S GROUP ACTUALLY PAID FOR A MASTER PLAN ON THAT PARK. WE'RE GOING THROUGH SOME PUBLIC INPUT, A PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS NOW AND THEN WE'LL BRING THAT TO YOU ALL. SO WE DO HAVE A CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN IN PLACE. ONCE IT GETS APPROVED BY THE PUBLIC. THAT CAN BE ALTERED TO IF WE HEAR SOMETHING DIFFERENT. SO AND THE THOUGHT IS TOO, IT'S, IT'S SMACK DAB. IT'S RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF ALL THE WINDSONG COMMUNITIES. YOU'VE GOT WINDSONG RANCH NINE TO THE WEST AND THE FUTURE PROSPER MEADOWS TO THE EAST. SO I'M SORRY, I WAS GOING TO SAY, I MEAN, AGAIN, I LIVE BY RAYMOND, AND SO YOU'VE GOT THE SAME THING. YOU'VE GOT GREENSPOINT, YOU'VE GOT WHITLEY PLACE, YOU'VE GOT PARK, YOU'VE GOT PARKSIDE. AND WE HAD THE GRAVEL PARKING LOT. THEY DID SOME PLANTINGS SO PEOPLE COULD COME AND DO SOME GARDENING. THERE WERE SOME MOWED TRAILS AND JUST NO ONE USED IT. AND THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S MY CONCERN, IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE THIS FUNDS TO A PARK THAT HASN'T BEEN PLANNED. WE SORT OF GET STUCK WITH THIS. I WOULD RATHER TAKE THE MONEY AND USE IT FOR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER PARKS DECIDES THAT WE NEED OR CIP DECIDES AND

[00:15:08]

WE CERTAINLY HAVE THAT OPTION. I'M SORRY. I THINK THE PARKS BOARD, I THINK THEY LIKE THE IDEA OF TRYING TO ACTIVATE THE PARK A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF TIME. AND THEY WERE ALSO FOLLOWING STAFF LEAD TO BE FRANK. SO THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. YEAH. I HAD A FEW QUESTIONS REAL QUICK, SIR.

FIRST OFF ON THIS PARK IS IT EVEN ON OUR CIP PLAN AS FAR AS ACTIVATING AND A FUTURE STATE.

AND IF IT IS. SO THIS THIS PARK ACTUALLY HAD FUNDING FOR IT IN THE LAST BOND ELECTION. WE PULLED THOSE FUNDS OVER TO RAYMOND TO BECAUSE WE WERE SO SHORT OF FUNDS ON THAT THAT PROJECT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION FOR YOU OR NOT. OKAY. SO IT'S ON OUR PLAN, BUT IT'S GOTCHA. WE WILL WE WILL DEFINITELY FROM THE PARKS DEPARTMENT ON OUR LIST OF POTENTIAL BOND PROJECTS. WE WOULD INCLUDE THIS ONE. OKAY. MY SECOND QUESTION IS KIND OF TWO PARTS. SO FIRST ONE WAS ON THE SUB ORDINANCE SECTION SIX. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT WAS UPDATED? I KNOW PROBABLY OFF THE CUFF MAY NOT KNOW, BUT LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, NOT SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HERE. SO THE FEES THAT ARE IN PLACE HAVE PRIOR TO PROBABLY 20, 1918. I WOULD THINK SO. OKAY. SO AS AS EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD HAS GONE UP ABOUT 200%, WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT THAT AS A FUTURE ITEM. BUT I WOULD SAY SECONDARILY, I DON'T HAVE AS MUCH CONSTERNATION ABOUT THE ACTIVATION OF THE TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS, BECAUSE EVENTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO THAT WITH WEBB. I WOULD DEFER THAT REALLY TO THE CIP TEAM TO PLAN THAT. BUT MORE MY ISSUE AND CONCERN WOULD BE OVER THE FEE IN LIEU OF DEDICATION AS PROSPER GETS BUILT OUT, THERE'S GOING TO BE LESS AND LESS LAND, AND YOU'RE GOING TO WANT THOSE PARKS. AND IN LIEU OF THE PARKS, YOU KNOW, GIVING UP TEN, ALMOST 11 ACRES OF LAND, THAT COULD BE A FUTURE USE FOR PARKS. I WOULD HATE TO SACRIFICE THAT FOR THE IMMEDIATE DOLLARS NOW. SO THAT'S I GOT A LITTLE HEARTBURN ON THAT. I HEAR YOU SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE THAT, SO THAT WOULD BE MY REQUEST. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK TOWN MANAGER HAD A I HAD A COMMENT JUST GOING BACK TO THE FEES. I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THE CHARGES THAT WE HAVE EVEN AT THE CONCLUSION OF LAST YEAR'S BUDGET, IS FOR ALL OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO LOOK AT THOSE FEES, WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT FEES, THOSE FEES THAT, THAT, THAT DAN DISCUSSED AS FAR AS PARK DEDICATION, JUST TO SEE WHERE WE ARE IN THE MARKET, BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, THINGS HAVE GONE UP. LAND IS MORE EXPENSIVE, CONSTRUCTION IS MORE EVERYTHING. SO THOSE NEED TO BE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. SO BUT UNFORTUNATELY THESE NEGOTIATIONS WERE ALREADY IN PLACE. SO WE JUST CAN'T DO THAT. YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE PRECEDENT FROM PREVIOUS AGAIN YOU KNOW DAN HAS BEEN HERE LONGER THAN I HAVE. SO. WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY IS I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE AS STAFF MAKING THAT DECISION TO DEDICATE FUNDS SPECIFICALLY TO A PARK, BECAUSE THE PRACTICE THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IS AS THOSE THINGS COME IN, IT'S DONE ACROSS THE COMMUNITY, RIGHT? AND NOW WE HAVE SITUATIONS WHERE, AS YOU MENTIONED, LAKEWOOD, SOME OTHERS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE. AND SO WE'RE EXECUTING AND COMPLETING THOSE, THOSE COMMITMENTS. BUT AS OF NOW, I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THAT ADMINISTRATIVELY. SO I JUST WANTED TO GET IF THAT'S THE CASE, I'D RATHER GET IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL, MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS DONE IN THE RIGHT WAY. AND YEAH, JUST AS A FOLLOW UP, I WOULD SAY ABSOLUTELY TO FOLLOW THE PROTOCOL OF HOW WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT IS THE FEES ARE PAID FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS, AND THOSE GO TO THE CIP TO ALLOCATE. AND WE TRUST THE COMMITTEES TO MAKE THOSE ALLOCATIONS. BUT IF THERE'S AN OPTION HERE, MY OPTION WOULD BE NOT TO HAVE THE FEES IN LIEU OF DEDICATION. AS PART OF THIS PROPOSAL. I, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A MOTION LIKE THIS, BUT IF YOU IF YOU DON'T MIND, I GOT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS FOR YOU. MAKE THE MOTION SO AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS TO GET GET A CHANCE. SO I WILL RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THE LAND ON THIS SINGLE PROJECT, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION AND THE LARGE PARK THAT'S RIGHT THERE. AND SO INSIDE THIS PARTICULAR AREA, I DON'T THINK BECAUSE THESE TWO WE BOTH OF THESE CAME BEFORE THIS PARTICULAR COUNCIL AND THERE'S PARKS AND THERE'S ALL KINDS OF STUFF. SO I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE MONEY ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE. BUT THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE, WHAT I WOULD. SO I'LL ASK I KNOW, I KNOW WE HAVE A PARKS BOARD MEMBER IN, IN, IN THE AUDIENCE AT THIS TIME. SO DAN, IF WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE THE PARKS DEPARTMENT BACK AND THEY THESE TWO FUNDS AT $1.6 MILLION, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO USE THEM? ABSOLUTELY. TO MAYBE GET SOME,

[00:20:02]

SOME SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE ON THE LIST AT RAYMOND PARK AND THAT ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO. OH, OKAY. YEAH. SO THAT THAT'S WHY I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE DOLLARS BE REALLOCATED FROM HERE. LIKE WE'VE GOT A I'M SORRY, AM I ABLE TO TALK? PLEASE, PLEASE. YEAH.

SO SORRY MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS CLINT RICHARDSON. 1009 50 RESEARCH ROAD, FRISCO, TEXAS.

75 033 JUST A LITTLE HISTORY ON THIS. WE STARTED THIS CONVERSATION WITH PAUL KNOWLTON, IF THAT'S HOW FAR BACK THIS GOES. SO WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT, AND HISTORICALLY WE HAD DONE THIS IN OTHER PROJECTS. IN FACT, WE DID IT AT VILLAGE AS A LEGACY WITH THE PRAIRIE PARK THAT WE DEVELOPED THERE AND USED THE MONEY UP FRONT TO KIND OF ENHANCE THAT, MAKE THAT PARK COME ONLINE EARLIER. SO WE STARTED THIS CONVERSATION TWO YEARS AGO, WALKED THE SITE WITH.

KURT AND PARVIZ TWO SUMMERS AGO. I MEAN, IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME. AND AGAIN, THE INTENT IS, AS THE DEVELOPER TO THOSE FEES THAT GO TO BE USED NEARBY, SO THAT, LIKE DAN SAID, THE RESIDENTS IN A WAY THAT ARE PAYING THOSE FEES, I SEE A BENEFIT NEARBY. SO THEY SAY, ALL RIGHT, THAT 1500 IS COMING FROM THE DEVELOPER, BUT IT GETS PASSED THROUGH EVERYTHING IS THAT IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE NEAR THE GENERATION OF THE OF THE FEES. SO THE AGAIN THE PARK FEE IS ONE PART OF IT, $1,500 PER THAT WOULD GO TO THE FUND AND THEN THE CREDIT FOR THE OVERSIZING THE TRAILS. SO THE 588 GETS WHITTLED DOWN. SO WE IDENTIFIED SOME POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE FELT COULD ENHANCE THE PARK WOULD NOT GET IN THE WAY OF A FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS BELLEWAERDE TRAIL THAT YOU SEE ON THERE AS OUT IN THE FLOODPLAIN, NO MATTER WHAT THE TELOS IS FINANCE PLAN COME FROM MASTER PLAN ON THIS, ALL OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE UP, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN KIND OF VISUALIZE IT FROM BEING OUT THERE, BUT ROUGHLY WHERE THAT KIND OF WIGGLY LINE IN THE MIDDLE IS, THAT'S KIND OF A SHELF. AND THEN IT FALLS OFF TOPOGRAPHY WISE DOWN INTO THE FLOODPLAIN. SO THESE ARE JUST CONCEPTUAL. AND LIKE DAN SAID, THESE ARE TO BE APPROVED BY PARKS. SO IF THERE'S THEY SAY THAT MIDDLE TRAIL DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. LET'S NOT SPEND THE MONEY ON IT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND THE MONEY ON IT. SO WE JUST TRIED TO IDENTIFY THINGS THAT WOULD HELP ACTIVATE THE PARK, AND AN INTERIM WAY WOULD BE COST EFFECTIVE, WOULD NOT GET IN THE WAY OF FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS, AND WOULD HELP THE PARK IN A IN IMMEDIATE TERM, BASICALLY EXTENDING WHAT'S ALREADY GOING ON OUT THERE ABOUT ALL THE AMAZING TRAILS THAT WINDSONG'S BUILT AND THE TRAILS ARE ON THE MASTER PLAN. SO THE PARKLAND DEDICATION, AND I'LL JUST GIVE YOU KIND OF MY UNSOLICITED FEEDBACK ON THAT IF YOU ALL AND THIS HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I WAS CONSULTING ENGINEER AND DID THIS, BUT IN FRISCO AND SOME OTHER CITIES LIKE THAT, THEY WOULD HAVE A ONE. THE PLAT IS APPROVED.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHEN THE TIME HAS TO BE DECIDED WHETHER, HEY, I WANT THE LAND OR HEY, I WANT THE FEE, BECAUSE ONCE THAT DECISION HAPPENS, THEN THE ENGINEERING AND PLANNING MOVES FORWARD, EITHER WITH CARVING OUT THE PARK OR LORDING IT UP LIKE WE HAVE. SO THAT AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE SPECIFICALLY WENT BEFORE PARKS BOARD WITH A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR APPROVAL, WHERE THEY MADE THAT DETERMINATION THAT FEES WERE IN LIEU OF OR ACCEPTABLE INSTEAD OF LAND DEDICATION, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN WAY BACK IN THE PAST, BECAUSE WE'RE DONE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT THIS POINT. BOTH NEIGHBORHOODS ARE GRADED. ONCE NEARING COMPLETION, ONE'S GOT PIPE AND ABOUT TO HAVE STREETS IN IT AS WELL. SO THE DEDICATION, REALLY THE ONLY PART OF THAT WE PUT IN THIS AGREEMENT WAS JUST TO CODIFY IT. WE LOOKED AT THE CURRENT APPRAISED VALUE, LOOKED IT UP, STAFF LOOKED IT UP, CONFIRMED IT. DO WE PUT IT IN THE AGREEMENT JUST TO HAVE IT BE A NUMBER SO THAT WHEN WE WENT TO WRITE THE CHECK TO YOU GUYS, NOBODY HAD TO GO BACK AND REDO THAT EXERCISE AGAIN? SO THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT PARKLAND DEDICATION FEE IS IN THIS AGREEMENT. WE'RE REALLY WE'RE TALKING MORE ABOUT AND THIS IS A ADAPTATION OF A PREVIOUS AGREEMENT WE'VE DONE WITH TOWN AS WELL. AND IT HAS BEEN MOSTLY FOCUSED ON THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FEES, NOT THE PARKLAND DEDICATION. SO I THINK THAT'S MOSTLY WHAT I WANTED TO.

NEIGHBORHOOD HAS AN AMENITY CENTER I CAN'T REMEMBER. YES. IT'S BEEN A WHILE. YEAH, YEAH.

SO THAT WAS PART OF THE ZONING FOR THE, THE WESTERN PORTION THAT THEY'RE SHARING THE CENTER PART WITH SMALL PRAIRIE PARK, THOUGH. THAT WAS AN ACTUAL PARK SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING. THIS THIS TO ME, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE TO ME ON THIS IS THAT AGAIN, WE DID SOMETHING SIMILAR AT RAYMOND. PEOPLE DIDN'T USE IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS UNIMPROVED. AND I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WANT TO PUT THEIR DOLLARS WHERE IT'S CLOSER, BUT EVENTUALLY WHEN THIS PARK IS BUILT, IT WILL BE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. IT'LL BE A VERY NICE, JUST LIKE FRONTIER, JUST LIKE RAYMOND PARK. SO I DO THINK THEY WILL GET THEIR MONEY OUT OF

[00:25:01]

IT, EVEN EVENTUALLY WHEN THIS PARK IS BUILT. I DON'T I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT WE YOU KNOW, I'M I'M LOOKING AT WE HAVE NEEDS AND LAKEWOOD WE HAVE NEEDS AND RAYMOND AND I'M LOOKING AT WE CAN TAKE THESE FUNDS AND DO THAT AND THEN WE IMPROVE THIS. AS YOU KNOW, ONE MASTER PLAN PARK WHEN IT'S TIME. YEAH. THAT THAT'S JUST MY $0.02. THANK YOU. SO I ALSO WANT TO MAKE CLARIFY ONE OF THE THINGS I THIS THE TOTAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THIS IS 400. WHAT'S THE TOTAL. IT'S A VERY LOOSE ESTIMATE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID WE WALKED THAT. IT'S VERY PRETTY DOWN THERE. IF YOU EVER WANT TO BRAVE THE CHIGGERS WE DOUSE OURSELVES REALLY GOOD. WE KIND OF HIGH FIVED EACH OTHER A COUPLE DAYS LATER WHEN WE SAW IT WAS LIKE, NO TAKERS, RIGHT? YEAH. SO BUT IT'S IT UNDULATES. THERE'S LOTS OF AREAS THAT ARE KIND OF SWAMPY. AND SO THE REASON WE DIDN'T EVEN PURSUE THE TRAIL AT THE TIME IS BECAUSE THAT SEWER LINE IS GETTING BUILT RIGHT NOW TO GO OVER TO H-E-B. SO WE WERE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE SEWER LINE WAS CONSTRUCTED AND THEN GO BACK OUT THERE AND KIND OF REVISIT THIS.

BUT THERE'S SOME AREAS THAT ARE SO LOW LYING THAT IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE A CONCRETE TRAIL. IT COULD BE SOME KIND OF FAKE WOOD BOARDWALK, IT COULD BE A MINI BRIDGE. IT COULD BE A SIDEWALK WITH LOTS OF LITTLE CULVERTS TO BE DETERMINED. SO THAT 436 MIGHT NOT EVEN BUILD THE TRAIL, DEPENDING ON HOW THE BUILD WEB TRAIL DESIGN COMES OUT. SO IT'S REALLY AT THAT. THE 588 IS THE TOTAL. THERE'S SOME OVERSIZING OF THE HIKE AND BIKE THAT COMES OUT OF THAT. SO WE JUST WANTED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO UTILIZE THE DIFFERENCE, WHAT'S LEFT AND GO TO SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE SOMEWHERE IN THAT BALLPARK OF WHAT'S IN THERE TO AGAIN, BRING SOME IMMEDIATE IMPACT TO THE RESIDENTS THAT WILL BE LIVING RIGHT THERE. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH COMMENTS. JEFF, GO. YEAH, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I, I. I THOUGHT THIS WAS IT. WELL, MAYBE I SHOULD ASK THE SO THE IMPROVEMENTS MADE ONCE THE PARK IS DEVELOPED, THEY'LL BE OBSOLETE. NO, WE SELECTED THESE ITEMS SHOULD STILL BE SHOULD NOT BE IMPACTED. THE PRIMITIVE TRAIL THAT SOMETHING'S GOING TO BE MOWED AND MAINTAINED. THAT COULD CHANGE. RIGHT. WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BUILD AROUND THAT. DEVELOP IS NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE. THE TRAIL ALONG PROSPER TRAIL IS NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE. OKAY. SO WE SELECTED THESE ITEMS PRIMARILY BECAUSE WE FELT THEY THEY'D LAST. OKAY. YEAH. I MEAN, LOOKING AT SOMETHING TEMPORARY DOESN'T TO ME DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND MONEY ON I'D RATHER DO IT FOR THE LONG TERM AND SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE THERE. SO. NOT I'M NOT SAYING THAT THOSE AREN'T GOOD THINGS TO HAVE OR THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE, YOU KNOW, PASSIVE TRAILS OR WHATEVER. I LIKE THAT, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S A BETTER USE FOR THE MONEY, HONESTLY. SORRY. DID YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN THE PAST STAFF OR THE CONSULTANT A QUESTION? YES, SIR. SO DAN OR CLINT, SO THE TIMING OF WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, IS THERE A IS THERE A KEY MILESTONE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH? BECAUSE IF WE'RE DOING THE MASTER PLAN, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY AND IT'S GOING TO BE COMING TO THE PARKS BOARD EVENTUALLY TO THE COUNCIL AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, IS IT AGAIN, I'M JUST ASKING, DOES THIS DECISION HAVE TO BE MADE BEFORE THAT'S DONE? SO TO SORT OF ALLAY SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT'S BEEN MENTIONED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT HAVING STRANDED COST OF MONEY AWAY? SO THAT AND I DON'T KNOW IF TELLUS HAS OPINED ON THIS AT ALL EITHER. IT'S JUST PART OF I MEAN, THEY'RE WORKING ON THE MASTER PLAN, SO THEY SHOULD BE IN THE CONVERSATION TOO. SO I'M JUST ASKING THE SEQUENCING CAN DOES THIS DECISION HAVE TO BE MADE TODAY, OR CAN IT WAIT UNTIL LATER THIS SPRING OR LATER THIS SUMMER WHENEVER THE MASTER PLAN IS COMPLETED? OR AT LEAST WHEN THAT DECISION POINT IS TO BE DETERMINED? I'LL GIVE MY $0.02 FIRST. SO AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. PLUS, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU GET BUSY AND YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND AGREED TO IT IN CONCEPT. SO YOU KIND OF LEAVE IT ALONE. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SIX MONTHS OF DISAPPEARS. SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TALKING ABOUT IT AND WE FINALLY SAID, HEY, LET'S BRING IT BACK. WE WERE REFINING LANGUAGE ROBIN WAS HELPING US WITH THAT WENT THROUGH QUITE A FEW ITERATIONS. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, DECEMBER WE WERE READY TO GO. AND MR. HARRIS SAID, YOU DON'T WANT TO BRING IT TO YOU GUYS. WE WENT TO THE PARK BOARD, SO WE WERE RIGHT AT THE FINISH LINE. WE THOUGHT PROBABLY LAST FALL. AND AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE PARK PLACE PHASE ONE, WHICH IS KNOWN AS PARK PLACE, THERE IT IS READY TO BE HAVE FINAL ACCEPTANCE MAYBE THIS WEEK. SO THAT'S THE DRIVING FORCE TO GO AHEAD AND GET THIS THING DONE TONIGHT BECAUSE IT CODIFIES THE THINGS. HOW MUCH CHECK DO WE WRITE FOR THE PARKLAND DEDICATION? AGAIN IT'S JUST MATH, BUT IT'S IN THE AGREEMENT. AND THEN ALSO THE ABILITY TO GET THE IMPACT FEES OR THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FEES CREDITS FOR THE OVERSIZE TRAILS.

[00:30:04]

SO THAT JUST SETS UP SO THE STAFF CAN DO THE THING THAT WE'VE ALREADY AGREED TO WITH THEM ON THOSE FEES. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE REALLY ONLY TIMING FOR THIS, THE WAY THAT THE AGREEMENT SETS IT UP, THAT THESE FUNDS PAID WOULD GO INTO AN ESCROW ACCOUNT. I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANY I WOULD, YOU KNOW, LEGALLY COMPLIANT. TELL ME BETTER THAN Y'ALL THAN I WOULD GUESS. BUT I WOULD ASSUME THAT IF Y'ALL DON'T APPROVE ANYTHING THAT WE PRESENT LIKE, HEY, WE WANT TO BUILD THE WEB AND IT'LL BE ABOUT 420,000. AND YOU SAY, YEAH, JUST NOT WHAT WE WANT TO DO RIGHT NOW. THERE IS SOME. LET ME TRY TO READ IT OR REREAD IT REAL QUICK, BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE THAT IF ONCE IT'S THE WORK'S DONE, THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO. TAKE THE MONEY AND PUT IT IN THE GENERAL FUND. SO YEAH, I THIS THING'S BEEN REREAD SO MANY TIMES, I'M FORGETTING IT ALREADY. YEAH. SO IT SAYS IF ALL REIMBURSEMENTS FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE OR PARK PLACE AND HAVE TOURNAMENT TERMINATED THIS AGREEMENT, THE TOWN MAY TRANSFER ANY REMAINING PAID PARK FEES IN THE ESCROW ACCOUNT TO THE TOWN'S GENERAL PERMANENT PARK FEES FUND. SO Y'ALL HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVIEW EVERYTHING THAT WE PROPOSE. SO IF THREE MONTHS FROM NOW YOU JUST SAY, YEAH, IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE, LET'S GO TO THE GENERAL FUND. WE CAN TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT AND Y'ALL CAN MOVE THE MONEY AT THAT POINT. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO. USE THE MONEY TO SOMETHING WHERE THE RESIDENTS SEE THE BENEFIT OF IT. BUT IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, YOU CAN TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT. AND THE FUNDS WOULD JUST GO TO THE GENERAL FUND. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT, I APPRECIATE IT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THE STAFF WORK AND THE WALK THROUGH THE CHIGGERS AND THAT THAT TOOK THAT TOOK PLACE FOR THIS. SO, YEAH. SO NO, AND I'VE I'VE BEEN OUT THERE, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE SHELF AND DROPS OFF. SO YEAH.

YEAH. SO IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE SOMETHING SPECIAL. YES SIR. I DO HAVE ONE, ONE QUESTION AND ACTUALLY INVOLVES CHIGGERS. SO WITH THE PRIMITIVE TRAILS, I MEAN THAT IS JUST LIKE WHAT COUNCILWOMAN BARTLETT WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH, WITH THE PRIMITIVE TRAILS WHERE IT'S JUST MOWED, MOWED TRAILS WITH THE TALL JOHNSON GRASS. AND SO CHIGGERS ARE THERE. SO THAT'S PROBABLY A LOT OF REASON WHY PEOPLE AREN'T UTILIZING IT IS BECAUSE OF THE CHIGGERS. AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT THAT IS A CONCERN TO ME TO SPEND THIS KIND OF MONEY ON SOMETHING IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO IF IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A, A MANICURED, IRRIGATED PARK, THAT'S THAT PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY REALLY UTILIZE. THAT'S THAT'S WHERE MY CONCERN LIES.

YEAH. AND I THINK THE, THE MOWED PRIMITIVE PATHS ARE VERY LOW COST. YOU KNOW, REALLY IT'S.

EXCEPT FOR MAYBE GOING DOWN THE SLOPE, WE ENVISION NOT MOVING A SPADE OF DIRT. NO I AGREE I AGREE WITH YOU WITH LOW COST. AND TRUTHFULLY, THE OWNER OF THIS LAND, HE HE MAY HE WE'VE TALKED WITH PARKS DEPARTMENT ABOUT POTENTIALLY DOING SOME MAINTENANCE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST MOW IT'S JUST AG USE BY THE TOWN THAT HE SAID, I'LL GO OVER THERE AND PLANT SOME GRASS AND MOW IT EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS IF THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IF IT HELPS SOMEBODY BE ABLE TO GO THERE AND THROW A FRISBEE OR PLAY CRICKET OR TOSS A FOOTBALL OR WHATEVER, RATHER THAN JUST BE A AGRICULTURAL FIELD. SO BEYOND THIS AGREEMENT, HE WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP MAKE THAT PARK USABLE SINCE IT IS THERE. THAT'S NOT THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT AGREEMENT. WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT AND KICKED AROUND A FEW TIMES ABOUT KIND OF A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, BUT THAT'S A WHOLE NEW ANIMAL THAT THE TOWN'S NEVER DONE. SO WE KIND OF LEFT THAT TO THE SIDE TO GET THIS ONE DONE. YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE THE SCENARIO IF YOU GUYS SAY, HEY, THE PERIMETER TRAIL JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO US. DOES HE MIGHT JUST SEND SOMEBODY OVER IF Y'ALL GIVE HIM PERMISSION JUST TO MOW IT HIMSELF? I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE AGAIN, THE PERIMETER TRAIL IS SO LOW COST. AND WHETHER THEY GET USED OR NOT, YOU KNOW, YOU HOPE FOR THE BEST, BUT MAYBE YOU DON'T. MAYBE IT DOESN'T TRANSLATE. AND MAYBE ONE YEAR OF SEEING NOBODY USE IT. HEY, LET'S JUST CUT THAT OFF. PUT MOWING IT, YOU KNOW. SO I THINK IT'S AGAIN, I THINK WHAT OUR LANDOWNERS ARE LOOKING FOR IS A PARTNERSHIP TO TRY TO ACTIVATE THE PARK AND HOW THAT MANIFESTS ITSELF. WE HAVE TO HAVE A FRAMEWORK, OBVIOUSLY, WHICH IS WHAT THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT'S MY POINT, IS WE'RE NOT ACTIVATING THE PARK BY JUST PUTTING A TRAIL THROUGH THERE, BY PUTTING A WEB THROUGH THERE, BECAUSE THE PARK'S NOT BEING USED IF IT'S GOT TALL JOHNSON GRASS. YEAH. AND SO THAT'S WHERE I THINK IT I THINK I KIND OF LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING IT GO BACK TO, TO PARKS. THANK YOU. DAN I'VE GOT A QUESTION. QUESTION FOR YOU. SO EARLIER THIS EVENING WE APPROVED THE PARKS MASTER PLAN. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I FORGOT TO MENTION ON THAT EARLIER, DOES THAT HAVE THAT HAS A HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL COMPONENT OF IT, MASTER PLAN OR NOT. SO WE HAVE A THE TOWN HAS A TRAIL MASTER PLAN THAT'S SEPARATE. AND I ACTUALLY BROUGHT

[00:35:01]

THEM BOTH TONIGHT. IT'S THAT ONE'S ABOUT 130 PAGES. THE OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN IS 170 PAGES.

SO IT DOES HAVE A PAGE IN THERE THAT SHOWS THE TRAIL SYSTEM AND ALL THOSE THINGS. DOES IT GO IN DEPTH AS WHAT A MASTER PLAN WOULD DO? NOT THE NOT THE ONE YOU APPROVED TONIGHT. THERE IS ONE THAT'S EXISTING THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2020. OKAY. SO AS AS A SIDE NOTE TO THIS WHOLE THING, IF PERHAPS AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE CAN ADD THAT HIKE AND BIKE PLAN TO AS AN APPENDIX OF OUR WHOLE PARKS MASTER PLAN. THAT WOULD BE GOOD AS THE WHOLE COMPONENT. SO THAT'S A REQUEST.

NOW AS IT RELATES TO THIS, ARE THESE TRAILS PORTRAYED IN THAT CURRENT DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE SITTING OVER THERE? THE ONES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, ADDING THE WEB SHOULD BE THE OTHERS ARE NOT. OKAY, OKAY. THAT OKAY. GREAT. CHRIS. OKAY. AMY, YOU HAD A MOTION. NO. DID YOU JUST HOW DO WE MAKE A MOTION TO JUST ACCEPT THE MONEY? BUT NOT THIS PART OF THE BUILD OUT. IF WE IF WE DO OUR NORMAL, YOU PAY YOUR PARKING AND DEDICATION FEES AND PARK IMPROVEMENT FEES. WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT. OKAY? SO WE JUST MAKE A MOTION BECAUSE WE. YEAH, IT'S JUST THOSE ARE DETERMINED BY OUR ORDINANCES ALREADY. OKAY, OKAY. SO I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THE APPROVAL OF A PARK IMPROVEMENT FEE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN OF PROSPER 100 DEV, LLC AND SHATTUCK PROSPER PARK PLACE, LLC FOR THE PARK PLACE AND PROSPER HILLS DEVELOPMENTS. A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM BARTLEY. I'LL SECOND THAT SECOND BY MARCUS RAY. ALL IN FAVOR? THAT MOTION IS PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO THANK THE STAFF FOR THEIR WORK IN GETTING

[17. Discuss and consider Town Council Subcommittee reports. (DFB)]

US TO THIS POINT, THOUGH. THANK YOU. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 17 IS DISCUSS AND CONSIDER. THE TOWN COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS. THE CIP COMMITTEE MET. AND REPORTS. OUT OF THAT, WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE ON RAYMOND PARK AND DISCUSSED SOME OF THE OH, THERE WE GO. DISCUSSED SOME OF THE ALTERNATE ITEMS. WE GOT AN UPDATE ON THE PROSPER TRAIL SCREENING WITH THE RENDERING FOR THE LANDSCAPING ON THAT PROJECT. WE DISCUSSED. FIRST STREET CHANGE ORDER TO LEGACY. WE DISCUSSED SOME STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, THE OPTICOM, AND SOME OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT GAVE US AN UPDATE ON. WE TALKED ABOUT DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT THE DOWNTOWN COMMITTEE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON. SO WE'RE WE'RE SORT OF JUST GET AN UPDATE. WE'RE WAITING ON THEM TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO US. AND THEN WE HAD A VERY THOROUGH REVIEW OF ALL OF THE STREET PROJECTS, WHICH COST MORE THAN THE BOND MONEY FOR THE PROPOSED BOND PROJECTS. AND IT WAS HULIN'S PRESENTATION THAT HE WILL BE MAKING TO THE BOND COMMITTEE ON MARCH THE 4TH. SO HE MADE IT TO US AND WE SORT OF, YOU KNOW, BATTED IT AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

BUT YEAH, IT WAS A GOOD MEETING. VERY INFORMATIVE. THANK YOU JEFF. OKAY. DID ANY OTHER SUBCOMMITTEES MEET SINCE OUR LAST MEETING I DON'T THINK. CSC YEAH I THINK I REMEMBER AVATAR.

NO. OKAY. OKAY. GOOD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GREAT. THANK YOU. THEN THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS TO POSSIBLY DIRECT TOWN STAFF TO SCHEDULE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION AT A FUTURE MEETING. AND DOES ANY COUNCIL MEMBER HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THEY WOULD LIKE BROUGHT FORWARD FOR A FUTURE AGENDA? YES, MR. MAYOR, SO I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FEES SPECIFICALLY FOR DEDICATION TO MITIGATION. ALL THE OTHER ASSOCIATED WHERE IN LIEU OF FEES, WE KIND OF BRING THOSE UP TO THE CURRENT CODE WITH WHAT, I GUESS A NEW STANDARD FOR WHAT 2025 GOING FORWARD LOOKS LIKE.

THAT'S ONE ITEM. THE SECOND ITEM WOULD BE MORE OF US TO LOOK INTO POSSIBLE CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE, TO GET A PERMIT, TO HAVE A BONFIRE OR A BURN PIT WITHIN THE TOWN LIMITS THAT EXCEEDS TWO FEET IN DIAMETER AT THE BASE. THIS CAME ABOUT FROM A NEIGHBOR, NOT NOT MY POLICE NEIGHBOR, BUT ANOTHER NEIGHBOR WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BURN TREE LIMBS BECAUSE IT WAS EASIER TO DO THAT THAN TO TIE THEM UP AND PUT THEM IN BRUSH PILES. AND I THINK IT'S THERE'S PROBABLY A TIME WHERE AT ONE POINT IN TIME IN OUR TOWN'S HISTORY, WE HAD BONFIRES FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL, OR WE USED TO HAVE A LOT OF BONFIRES. BUT I THINK IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OPEN PIT, OPEN PIT FIRE THAT'S WIDER THAN TWO FEET AT THE BASE, YOU PROBABLY NEED A PERMIT. SO OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS AWARENESS TO THAT. AND SO I WOULD JUST WELL, I MAYBE WE ARE IN THAT I'M NOT SURE THAT SIZE IS NOT VERY GOOD BUT THERE'S AN ORDINANCE AGAINST THAT. I'D LOVE TO KNOW MORE

[00:40:03]

ABOUT IT. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. JUST WE JUST GOT TO BE CAREFUL. WE DON'T DELIBERATE, I THINK. YEAH, CORRECT. THERE IS SOMETHING WE DO HAVE RULES. IT'S EVEN ON OUR WEBSITE FOR FIRE PITS. THAT EXPLAINS WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO BURN IN AN APPROVED FIRE PIT. ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH WHAT WE CAN DO. IF THAT'S OKAY, CAN CHIEF, WOULD IT BE OKAY IF IN OUR UPCOMING FRIDAY REPORT WE JUST KIND OF GET THE REQUIREMENTS, PUT IT IN A DRAFT DOCUMENT OR NOT DRAFT, BUT IN THE DOCUMENT SO YOU CAN SEE IT. AND IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES OR OTHER COMPONENTS THAT YOU DON'T SEE AS ACCEPTABLE, WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT THAT AS AN ORDINANCE CHANGE. IS THAT OKAY? YEAH OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THAT, CHIEF. THANK YOU. OKAY, THEN. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS AN AGENDA ITEM
