[3. Neighbor Comments.]
>> AT THIS TIME WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO NEIGHBORS COMMENTS.
I DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER SHEET THIS EVENING, MR. LAFE ANGELL AND I DO KNOW THAT HE HAD SOME OTHER REPRESENTATIVES FROM HIS CHURCH HERE THIS EVENING THAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEAK INDIVIDUALLY.
COUNCIL AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO GIVE LIFE ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
HE WANTED TO GIVE JUST A VERY SMALL PRESENTATION TO US, SO VERY BRIEF, BUT INSTEAD OF HAVING MULTIPLE MEMBERS COME UP TO TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT, I THINK IT'S FAIR TO GIVE LAFE 10 MINUTES. COME ON UP, LAFE.
>> THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH YOU ALL TONIGHT.
THIS, BY THE WAY, IS MY FAR, BETTER HALF HOPE OR WISER IF OUR PRETTIER HALF HOPE.
WE WANTED TO COME WITH YOU ALL TONIGHT TO JUST DISCUSS WHAT'S HAPPENING AT GRACE PLACE, WHICH IS NOT THE SAME AS GRACE POINT FAMILY CHURCH.
GRACE PLACE, AS WE DO THE FOOD PANTRY HERE IN TOWN AND THEY HAVE NOW FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
WE'VE INVITED ALL THE OTHER CHURCHES THAT COME WORK WITH US AS COMMUNITY PARTNERS AS WELL TEAM TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK TODAY ABOUT THE NEXT STEP FOR US.
>> YES. GRACE PLACE IS A NONRELIGIOUS, NONSECTARIAN NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION.
CURRENTLY, WE HAVE THE FOOD PANTRY AND A HIGH SCHOOL SINCE LIFE SKILLS STUDENTS TO MEET THERE, WE HAVE THE COMMUNITY GARDEN AND THEN WE HAVE THE COFFEE SHOP, WHICH WAS A GATHERING PLACE FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT COMPANIES MEET THEIR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETS THERE.
>> WHAT'S NEXT IS A COMMUNITY CENTER.
>> WE ANNOUNCED TO OUR CHURCH THAT WHAT GOD PUT ON OUR HEARTS WAS TO BUILD THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
WE ACTUALLY HAD A CHANCE TO MEET WITH MAYOR PIKE, NOW, ALMOST FOUR YEARS AGO, AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THE CITY WOULD NEED AND HOW WE CAN SERVE THE CITY.
BECAUSE THE QUESTION CAME UP, WHAT KIND OF CHURCH YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN? THE ANSWER WAS WE WANT TO BE AN OUTREACH-BASED CHURCH TO SERVE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK IN OUR COMMUNITY AND SERVE OUR CITY AND THE REGION.
AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS I THOUGHT I HAD AN AGENDA, I HAD A PLAN.
WE'RE GOING TO SERVE BY YOUR DEMOGRAPHICS.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS AND WE WANT TO SERVE THE SINGLE MOMS AND THAT'S GREAT, BUT WE REALLY ALSO NEED TO DO SOMETHING THAT SERVE OUR KIDS.
HE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS IN FRONT OF US TO SERVE THE USE OF ANNA.
SINCE THAT POINT, IT'S BEEN ON OUR HEART TO DO AT SOME POINT A COMMUNITY CENTER.
THIS COMMUNITY CENTER HAS GROWN IN SCOPE.
NOW IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOUTH.
IT'S A WE'RE CALLING OUR CAMPAIGN.
AND THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO SOLVE OUR SENIORS.
WE'RE GOING TO SERVE OUR YOUTH, YES.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO SERVE IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AFTER A SERVICE MENTORING AND TUTORING, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AFTER-SCHOOL.
THANK YOU. WHAT I SAY AFTER CHURCH.
>> AFTER SERVICE, SERVICE SCHOOL, WHICHEVER YOU WANT.
WE HAVE JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE OUR YOUTH.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ORGANIZATIONS AND THINGS FOR OUR SENIORS TO DO AS WELL.
WE'VE ALREADY ACTUALLY IN CANADA, A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TEACH TAEKWONDO AND.
>> ART, AND MUSIC AND DANCE AND DO HOMEWORK HELP, AND DO DIFFERENT MENTAL HEALTH TYPE CLASSES.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT POTENTIAL AND OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME
[00:05:02]
TOGETHER AND CREATE A SAFE FAMILY COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE, FOR THOSE STUDENTS IN PARTICULAR VOWEL, AS SENIORS TO HAVE A PLACE TO GET CONNECTED.>> REALLY THE HEARTBEAT BEHIND THIS, IS EVERYONE IS WELCOME, NOBODY IS EXCLUDED, EVERYONE YOU'RE WELCOME.
WE ARE SEPARATE AND GRACE PLACES SEPARATE FROM GRACE POINT IS NONSECTARIAN, BUT WE'RE ALSO NOT TRYING TO HIDE WHO WE ARE.
SOME PEOPLE COME OUT TO PLAY BASKETBALL OR YOU GO TO BASKETBALL CAMP OR VOLLEYBALL OR WHATEVER ELSE.
WHATEVER REASON, WE WOULD GIVE THEM OR ELSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A PHISHING DOC AND OUTDOOR FOOTBALL/SOCCER FIELD.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DRAW THE COMMUNITY IN JUST LIKE OUR FOOD BANK TODAY.
WHEN YOU COME TO THE FOOD BANK FOR HELP, WE DON'T MAKE YOU SIT THROUGH A MESSAGE FIRST.
WE'RE GOING TO FEED YOU AND THEN WHEN ALL THAT'S DONE, WE ASK IF, IF YOU'D LIKE PRAYER, BUT NOTHING IS REQUIRED, THE SAME IS GOING TO BE TRUE OF GRACE PLACE COMMUNITY CENTER.
IN GRACE PLACE COMMUNITY CENTER IS GOING TO BE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT GO TO A CHURCH MIGHT COME, A BASKETBALL CAMP, OR WHATEVER ELSE IT MIGHT BE.
BUT WHEN THEY'RE THERE, WE'RE BELIEVING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET MORE THAN JUST BASKETBALL.
THEY'RE GOING TO GET LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE AND THEN SEE GOD'S MERCY FIRSTHAND.
REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, THE TWO VERSIONS, WE HAVE THE LONG VERSION, IF YOU'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN READING AND YOU'LL HAVE ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO JUST KILL.
WE ALSO HAVE A ONE-PAGE VERSION, SO WHICHEVER ONE YOU WANT TO LOOK AT.
BUT THE NEED HAS ACTUALLY GROWN MORE URGENT BECAUSE NOW THAT'S ANNA ISD, AND BY THE WAY, GREAT PLAN TO GO TO FOUR-DAY SCHOOL BECAUSE A LOT OF BENEFITS TO THAT.
BUT THE ONE POTHOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAN, THERE'S A LOT OF FAMILIES WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR KIDS ON FRIDAYS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FRIDAY PROGRAMS AVAILABLE FOR THE KIDS AND AGAIN, JUST TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR US IS IT'S GOING TO BE TWO MULTIPURPOSE COURTS.
TWO BASKETBALL COURTS/VOLLEYBALL COURTS, FIVE CLASSROOMS, A WARMING KITCHEN, A PLACE TO AND THE FUTURE.
HOW'S OUR FOOD PANTRY LONGER DO THE THE LOCATION ACROSS FROM SPURLOCKS? BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE AN OUTDOOR PLAYGROUND, LOTS OF THINGS TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY.
>> BUILT-IN STAGE FOR RECITALS, CONCERTS. THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SUNDAY MORNING SERVICES AS GRACE POINT FAMILY CHURCH, GRACE PLACE, JUST BECAUSE THAT'S LIKE $500 A MONTH.
WE DON'T NEED TO SPEND WITH ANNA ISD TO RENT THE SCHOOL.
WE CAN USE THAT MONEY TOWARDS PAYING DOWN THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I GET NEXT IS ALWAYS WHAT'S YOUR TIMELINE? THAT'S A FANTASTIC QUESTION. LET ME TAKE I DON'T KNOW.
THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE NUMBER ONE, WE HAVE OUTSIDE SPONSORS THAT ARE GOING TO HELP US MOVE THE BALL FORWARD, BUT WE ARE ALSO, WE APPLIED FOR OUR 501C3 ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO, NOW.
THE MOMENT WE GET THAT, WE'RE GOING TO BE GRANT-WRITING MACHINES APPLYING FOR EVERY GRANT UNDER THE SUN.
THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE TO A GRANT SPECIALIST, A GRANT AUTHORING SPECIALIST.
THERE WERE AT THAT TIME MULTIPLE GRANTS AVAILABLE FOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD BUILD COMMUNITY CENTERS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES, AS YOU KNOW, AND IT STILL QUALIFIES AS A RURAL COMMUNITY.
WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH THE ART COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
REALLY THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US IS TO PARTNER WITH EVERYONE.
JUST LIKE AT GRACE PLACE, THE FOOD PANTRY.
WE'VE INVITED ALL OF THE LOCAL CHURCHES TO PARTICIPATE, AND ALL THE COMMUNITY GROUPS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SAME WAY.
WE'RE HOPING TO TOGETHER STAFF AND PROVIDE CLASSES AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
WHAT'S OUR TIMELINE? WELL, THAT DEPENDS ON THE SUPPORT WE GET AND THE GRANTS WE RECEIVE.
WE ARE OPTIMISTIC THAT WE CAN BREAK GROUND SOMETIME AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR.
THEN IT'S GOING TO TAKE ABOUT NINE MONTHS, WE'RE WORKING WITH CROSSLINK CONSTRUCTION.
OUR ESTIMATE IS NINE MONTHS FROM DAY WE BREAK GROUND WE'LL HAVE A RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY.
IT SHOULD BE I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE, WE'LL BREAK GROUND NEXT YEAR.
BUT PROVIDING SMILE ON US FOR THAT TO BE THE CASE.
IN A NUTSHELL WHERE WE ARE, WE ARE NOT.
IT WAS FUNNY THAT WE ANNOUNCED GRACE PLACE COMMUNITY CENTER AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER, ALL OVER FACEBOOK, THE CITY OF ANNA'S ANNOUNCING A COMMUNITY CENTER.
THE VERY FIRST THING I DID IS I SAT DOWN WITH PARKS AND REC AND MY FRIEND MARK AND JUST HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT IS YOURS LOOK LIKE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO COMPETE WITH THE CITY.
WE WANT A PARTNER IN COMPLEMENT WITH THE CITY IS DOING.
IN THAT CONVERSATION, WE QUICKLY DETERMINED THAT THE NEED FOR ANNA, WITH THIS EXPONENTIAL GROWTH WE COULD JUSTIFY A VERY LARGE COMMUNITY CENTER.
BUT THE CITY OF ANNA IS NOT QUITE READY TO PULL THAT TRIGGER YET AND NEITHER ARE WE.
BUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A COMMUNITY CENTER ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN AND LESS THAN TWO MILES FROM WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BUILD THIS COMMUNITY CENTER.
AT THE MOMENT, THERE ARE SEVERAL APARTMENT COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE ALREADY EITHER BEGUN CONSTRUCTION OR APPROVED THE BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION.
WHO NEEDS A COMMUNITY CENTER MORE THAN KIDS BEING RAISED? APARTMENT. ANNA'S PLAN AT THE MOMENT, THE LAST I UNDERSTOOD WAS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
[00:10:02]
A GEAR PARK OR THAT'S PLAN IS THAT THE GEAR PARK? WELL, NOW WE HAVE A COMMUNITY CENTER ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN, ONE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN.WE BELIEVE THIS IS A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY.
AGAIN, WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING IN COOPERATION, NOT IN COMPETITION.
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE ANY FEEDBACK FROM YOU ALL.
WE'RE ACTUALLY HAVING A Q&A SESSION AT GRACE PLACE FOOD PANTRY.
>> AT 9:30. THANK YOU, BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TIME IT WAS, BUT NOW I DO.
I'LL ALSO SAY THAT IF YOU GO TO MYGRACEPLACE.COM, THERE'S ALL THE PARTICULARS AND YOU CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AND FIND THAT WEBSITE.
>> APPRECIATE IT ALL YOU'RE DOING IN THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, DOC.
>> THANK YOU. ANYMORE NEIGHBOR'S COMMENTS? WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM 4.
[4. Reports.]
RECEIVE REPORTS FROM STAFF OR THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT REAL QUICKLY TO THANK OUR STAFF FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES, GROUP FOR ANNA FEST AND ALL THE WORK THAT WAS PUT IN, IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT AND JUST WANT TO FIRST RESPONDERS AS WELL.
EVERYBODY WAS WORKING THIS WEEKEND.
I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS AND ALL OF THAT.
COUNCIL, ANY OTHER ITEMS? WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM 5,
[5. Work Session.]
WHICH IS OUR WORK SESSION, RECEIVE A PRESENTATION REGARDING A FUTURE COLLIN COUNTY BOND ELECTION.I'M GOING TO INVITE A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE AND MENTOR, FORMER MAYOR OF MCKINNEY, MR. BRIAN MACMILLER TO COME FORWARD AND GIVE HIS PRESENTATION.
>> MAYO BEFORE MAYOR MACMILLER PRESENTS.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE COUNTY FOR COMING TO THE MEETING TO PRESENT TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR BOND ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 7TH.
BUT SIMILAR AGAIN TO CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST WITH OUR OWN BOND.
WE'RE NOT ADVOCATING FOR ANYTHING.
I JUST WANTED TO BE STATED ON THE RECORD FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT THAT THERE IS NO ADVOCATING OF THIS BOND, BUT WE THANK MR. MACMILLER FOR COMING TO PRESENT INFORMATION TO THE NEIGHBORS ON WHAT THE BOND ENTAILS. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. CAN I HAVE A POWERPOINT, IS IT?
>> I'M GOING TO SKIP PAST THAT FIRST PAGE.
IT SAYS VOTE, BUT ACTUALLY THAT IS NOT FOR YOU ALL, THAT'S FOR YOUR CITIZENS OF ANNA, AND THE ELECTION IS NOVEMBER THE 7TH.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS GET OUT TO ALL THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND GIVE INFORMATION OUT THAT WE CAN AND PRESENT IT TO COUNCIL'S ROTTERIES, WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO GET THE WORD OUT.
I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE HAD BOND ELECTIONS HERE IN ANNA.
AND AS YOUR LAST SPEAKER TALKED ABOUT, THE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IS NOT JUST UNIQUE TO THE CITIES TO THE SOUTH OF YOU.
ANNA, YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE GROWTH PATTERN FOR GROWTH OF CITIES IN THE FUTURE.
IF YOU LOOK AT COLLIN COUNTY AS A WHOLE, JUST FROM A FEW STATISTICS.
POPULATION HAS DOUBLED SINCE THE YEAR 2000 AS PROJECTED TO DOUBLE AGAIN OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS AND 112 NEW RESIDENCE EVERY DAY.
WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN FOR COLLIN COUNTY? WELL, SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT 2023 RIGHT NOW, COLLIN COUNTY IS A LITTLE BIT OVER ONE MILLION PEOPLE AT BUILD-OUT.
COLLIN COUNTY IS ANTICIPATE A B, IF NOT LARGER THAN DALLAS COUNTY, CERTAINLY AS LARGE AS DALLAS COUNTY.
THIS PICTURE HERE IS VERY INTERESTING, AND IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO YOU ALL AS WELL.
THIS IS A EFFECTIVELY A HEAT MAP THAT SHOWS WHERE PEOPLE LIVE.
AND EACH DOT ON THE MAP REPRESENTS 10 PEOPLE BASED ON THE 2000 CENSUS AND BASED ON THE 2020 CENSUS, THE 2000S SENTENCES TO MY LEFT AND AS YOU CAN SEE, JUST THE DENSITY THAT'S INCREASED OVER THAT 20-YEAR PERIOD AND ESPECIALLY I DON'T HAVE A POINTER, I DON'T THINK.
BUT IF YOU LOOK IN THE APPLY FOR 55 AND LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE THERE WITH REGARD TO YOUR OWN COMMUNITY.
ALSO, THE COMMUNITY IS TO THE WEST WITH SLI TO PROSPER IN THAT TYPE OF THING.
THAT'S REALLY WHERE THE GROWTH IS MOVING AND OBVIOUSLY, THE EFFORT FOR COLLIN COUNTY IS TO BE PROACTIVE AND TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES AND OF THE CITIZENS AS OPPOSED TO REACTING TO IT AND BEING BEHIND.
HERE'S THIS NUMBERS, ANTICIPATE FUTURE GROWTH OF COLLIN COUNTY THAT WILL BE SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO THREE MILLION PEOPLE HAVE BUILT OUT OR BUILD OUT, BUT IN 2060.
THAT'S WHY THIS BOND ELECTION IS WELL AS PAST BOND ELECTIONS.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? WE HAVE FIVE PROPOSALS.
THE FIRST PROPOSAL IS JUSTICE CENTER, AND SECOND IS AN ANIMAL SHELTER.
THIRD HAS TO DO WITH PUBLIC HEALTH, PARKS, AND ROADS.
[00:15:01]
I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF BUSINESS TONIGHT, SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO THROUGH THESE FAIRLY QUICKLY, BUT LOOKING AT THE PROPOSAL FOR PROPOSITION 8 JUSTICE FACILITY.SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THIS IS THE COURTS BUILDING DOWN OFF BLOOM DALE THAT WAS JUST BUILT NOT TOO LONG AGO.
THEY ALSO WERE SMART ENOUGH TO SECURE LAND FOR FUTURE GROWTH.
AND THEY'RE ALREADY AT CAPACITY AND BEYOND CAPACITY THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE JUST TO PROVE TO NEW COURTS, JUST THIS SESSION, ONE FOR THIS YEAR, AND ONE FOR NEXT YEAR.
AGAIN, IF YOU THINK BACK WHEN THAT COURTHOUSE WAS BUILT, WE'VE ADDED SINCE THAT TIME FOR NEW DISTRICT COURT JUDGES AS WELL. IT'S COOL JUDGES.
AND OF COURSE, THERE'LL BE ADDITIONAL NEEDS FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND DISTRICT CLERK OFFICE SPACE.
THE FIRST PROPOSITION WILL BE BASICALLY FOR THE EXPANSION OF THOSE FACILITIES IN THE DETENTION FACILITY.
THAT PROJECT IN AND OF ITSELF IS $261 MILLION OF THE BOND ELECTION.
AGAIN, IT'S FROM A PLANNING STANDPOINT, ALL OF THAT SPACE WAS PLANNED TWO YEARS AGO AND THIS IS JUST PART OF THE OVERALL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR GROWTH.
NEXT ITEM IS A PROPOSED ANIMAL SHELTER.
AGAIN, THE CONSISTENT MESSAGE HERE IS GROWTH HAS CAUSED CAPACITY ISSUES.
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN SOMETHING THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT ALL OF THE CITIZENS OF THE VARIOUS CITIES REALIZED, BUT MOST OF THE CITIES PARTICIPATE ON SOME LEVEL AND THE OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE ANIMAL SHELTERS.
THEN THE COUNTY PROVIDES THE BASICALLY THE BRICKS-AND-MORTAR.
THE ORIGINAL FACILITY WAS BUILT IN 2006 AND IT HAS NOT BEEN EXPANDED SENSE.
THE PLAN IS TO ADD ADDITIONAL SPACE, ADDITIONAL KENNELS FOR DOGS AND CATS, AND ROOMS FOR ADOPTION, AND AGAIN, LOOKING AT THIS COST FOR FACILITIES, IT'S $5.7 MILLION.
AGAIN, MAJORITY OF THESE COSTS ARE ALSO REIMBURSED THROUGH OTHER ENTITIES BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET MATCHING FUNDS FROM DIFFERENT ENTITIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS TYPE OF OPERATION.
AND THIS ONE REALLY STRUCK ME AS INTERESTING BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE MEDICAL EXAMINER FACILITY, THAT'S PROBABLY THE LAST PLACE THAT ANYBODY REALLY WANTS TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, WHAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE COUNTY IN TERMS OF INVESTIGATION AND AUTOPSIES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
BUT WHAT STRUCK ME, ESPECIALLY BEING A FORMER MAYOR OF MCKINNEY, AND THIS FACILITY IS BUILT IN 1988 AND HAS NOT BEEN EXPANDED.
NINETEEN EIGHTY EIGHT MCKINNEY WAS ABOUT 15,000 PEOPLE.
FRISCO WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 7,000.
EVERY CITY: ANNA, PROSPER, CELINA, LUCAS, EVERY ONE OF THEM, IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT IT WAS IN 1988 AND THE FACT THAT THIS FACILITY HAS NOT EXPANDED SINCE THAT TIME.
AND SO OBVIOUSLY, THERE WILL BE A NEED AND THERE'S A NEED IN ORDER FOR THE MEDICAL EXAMINER TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO PROVIDE.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER FACTS WITHIN THIS POWERPOINT.
FEDERAL FUNDS TYPICALLY ARE NOT ADEQUATE FOR PROVIDING FACILITIES, OR HELPING WITH THESE FACILITIES AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER REASON FOR THE BOND ELECTION ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.
AGAIN, OF THE TOTAL, THAT'S $13.3 MILLION.
THEN WE GET TO THE NEXT TWO ITEMS WHICH TYPICALLY YOU THINK ABOUT ROADS AND PARKS AND OPEN SPACE, THOSE TYPICALLY ARE THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE TEND TO FOCUS ON THE MOST, AND IN MOST ELECTION CYCLES ARE THE EASIEST TO SHOW THE NEED, AND OBVIOUSLY WITH THE POPULATION GROWTH THAT EXISTS, AGAIN, WITH THIS.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE IS AN ITEM THAT, FROM A PLANNING STANDPOINT, JUST AS I'M SURE AS YOU PLAN DEVELOPMENT HERE IN ANNA YOU MAKE SURE THAT WITH THE PLANNING OF NEW RESIDENTIAL AREAS YOU ALSO PLAN FOR PARKS, WHETHER IT'S REGIONAL PARKS OR LOCAL PARKS.
AND THE COUNTY DOES THE SAME THING.
AND THEN THE COUNTY ALSO HELPS CONTRIBUTE TO PARK PROJECTS OF THE CITIES.
EVERY CITY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS OR SUBMIT PLANS THAT THEY COULD GET GRANT MONEY FROM THE COUNTY ON.
SO ESSENTIALLY PROPOSITION D IS PARKS AND OPEN SPACE.
THEY ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON MYERS PARK AND THE EVENT CENTER THERE FOR PART OF THIS FOR STRUCTURAL UPGRADES AND REPAIRS, BUT THEN THEY'RE ALSO FOCUSING ON THE FACT THAT THEY DO HAVE THESE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR CITIES AND IN ACQUIRING LAND AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S REGIONAL SPACE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOVING INTO OUR AREA.
AND THIS PROPOSITION IS $22.4 MILLION.
I DROVE UP HERE ON 75 AND CAME OVER TO HIGHWAY 5 AND TRAFFIC IS WHAT IT IS.
[00:20:08]
AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE WE'RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH, NOT JUST NOW, BUT PROBABLY FUTURE BOND ELECTIONS WILL HAVE TO BE HAD, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS THE STARTING POINT.AND AGAIN, I THINK THE IMPORTANT MESSAGE HERE WHEN YOU START THINKING ABOUT BOND ELECTIONS FOR ROADS, WHETHER IT'S A MUNICIPAL ROAD, OR A COUNTY ROAD, OR A STATE ROAD GOING THROUGH YOUR COMMUNITY THERE'S ALWAYS MONEY AVAILABLE THROUGH OTHER AGENCIES, WHETHER IT'S REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION, TXDOT, NTTA ON A TOLLWAY.
BUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT THAT FROM A COMMUNITY STANDPOINT IS THAT IN ORDER TO GET MONEY, YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY.
IT'S NEVER HERE'S A MILLION DOLLARS OR $100 MILLION.
IT'S WHAT ARE YOU CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS THIS PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT YOUR COMMUNITY OR BENEFIT YOUR COUNTY.
AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITH PROPOSITION E. WE HAVE ROAD CONDITIONS THAT NEED TO BE IMPROVED AND MAINTAINED, AND THEN WE HAVE NEW ROADS THAT ARE GOING TO BE BUILT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
EXPANSION OF THE OUTER LOOP, THAT'S GOING TO GO ON FOR A LONG TIME.
AND THIS ITEM IS $380 MILLION, WHICH IN THE CONTEXT OF A ROAD BOND IS REALLY NOT THAT MUCH.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BUILD A LOT, BUT IT'S GOING TO HELP START THE PROCESS OF GETTING WHAT WE NEED.
AND AGAIN, OUR MESSAGE TO ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES IS THAT WE WANT TO BE PROACTIVE.
I USED TO SAY, BACK WHEN WE USED TO TALK ABOUT OUR AIR PRICE, "YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE GOING TO GROW EITHER BECAUSE OF US, OR IN SPITE OF US.
AND I'D RATHER BE BECAUSE OF US." AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
IT'S ABOUT PLANNING, PARTNERSHIPS, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS, THE RESIDENTS HERE IN ANNA AND THE RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY.
AND TO DO THAT, THE BOND ELECTION IS GOING TO BE NECESSARY.
THAT'S THE SUMMARY OF THE TOTAL FOR THE FIVE PROPOSITIONS.
THE LAST POINT I WOULD MAKE BEFORE CLOSING IT WITH THE INFORMATION ON WHERE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
THESE PROPOSITIONS WILL BE ON THE BALLOT INDIVIDUALLY.
SO THE VOTERS THAT ARE WATCHING THIS, OR HEARING THIS, YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON EACH ONE OF THESE PROPOSITIONS.
AND SO IT'S NOT AN ALL OR NOTHING TYPE OF DEAL.
THE ONE QUESTION THAT WE KEEP GETTING, AND YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO GET WHEN YOU HAVE BOND ELECTIONS, WHAT DOES IT DO? THE TAX RATE.
AND THE COLLIN COUNTY, HISTORICALLY, THEIR POLICY HAS BEEN TO NOT INCREASE TAXES FOR PROJECTS.
MOST CITIES ARE IN THAT SAME MINDSET THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO INCREASE TAXES IN ORDER TO PAY FOR DEBT SERVICE ON BONDS.
AND WE'RE TOLD FROM THE COUNTY THAT THERE WILL BE NO TAX RATE INCREASE.
AND ACTUALLY, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT AND YOU GO BACK IN HISTORY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL BOND ELECTIONS THAT THE COUNTY HAS HAD, THEY'VE LOWERED THE TAX RATE AT THE SAME TIME THAT THEY'VE BEEN ISSUING DEBT FOR NEW PROJECTS.
SO THEY ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO DO THE SAME.
THAT IS AN IMPORTANT POINT BECAUSE THE CONFUSING THING ABOUT BOND ELECTIONS, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IS THAT WHEN IT'S PUT ON THE BALLOT TO BE VOTED ON IT WILL SAY "TO AUTHORIZE THE LEVY OF A TAX".
SO THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF IS MY TAXES ARE GOING TO GO UP.
WELL THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THAT IS THE STATUTORY LANGUAGE THAT IS REQUIRED.
AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET OUT AND SHOW THIS HISTORICAL SLIDE, TO SHOW HOW THE TAX RATE IS ACTUALLY GOING DOWN WHILE WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE WITHIN OUR COUNTY.
ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 7TH, EARLY VOTING ON OCTOBER 23RD THEN NOVEMBER 3RD.
POLLING LOCATIONS ARE WWW.COLLINCOUNTYTEXAS.GOV.
WE HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT'S HELPING WITH THIS BOND PROGRAM.
THIS EMAIL ADDRESS, CC2023BONDPROGRAM@GMAIL.COM GOES TO THE PEOPLE WITHIN THE COMMITTEE THAT CAN ANSWER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
WE ALSO HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE AS WELL, IN CASE ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THAT AND LOOK AT THAT.
BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE MAYOR AND COUNSEL, YOUR GIVING ME THE FLOOR AND GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP.
I LOVE THIS BUILDING, BY THE WAY, MUCH NICER THAN THE BUILDING I SERVED IN.
>> BUT IN ANY EVENT IT'S A WONDERFUL BUILDING AND YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY.
MY SON LIVES HERE IN ANNA OVER AT AVERY POINTE AND JUST LOVES IT.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. APPRECIATE IT.

YOU SEE THAT INCLUDED PARKING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET, SOME SMALL PARKING THERE ON SOUTH STREET.
REAGAN'S, YOU CAN SEE THE PARKING LOT WHERE WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH DARK TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME STUFF IN THERE RIGHT AWAY, SUCH AS THE HIKING BIKE TRAIL, A LITTLE PORTION OF IT RIGHT THERE, AND SOME PARKING AND A LITTLE BIT OF FIRE LANE DRIVING.

THERE'S GOING TO BE NEW CONCRETE GROWTH.
IS THIS GOING TO BE A BIG WIN FOR US? IT TIES BACK TO MY DOWNTOWN UTILITY PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DONE RIGHT.
WE CAME IN HERE AND WE IMPROVED ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
WE DON'T HAVE THOSE OLD CAST IRON MAINS UNDERNEATH THESE, THESE BRAND NEW STREETS I WANT TO BUILD.
I MEAN, THE STREETS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE BID ON THEM.
ALL THE UTILITIES HAVE BEEN DONE.
WE'RE READY TO PUT CONCRETE DOWN ON THE STREETS AND GET PEOPLE TO COME TO DOWNTOWN ATLANTA.
>> ON THIS ONE RIGHT HERE ON REAGAN'S, ARE THOSE LIKE SPEED BUMPS IN THERE?
>> THEY ARE. THEY'RE GOING TUBE BE RAISED PEDESTRIANS.
WE WORK WITH THE DESIGN ENGINEER, WE WORKED WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THEY ARE RAISED AREAS IN THERE TO KEEP SPEED DOWN.
I MEAN, WE HAD A LOT OF EVENTS GOING HERE. LOCAL BREWERY.
WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE JUST JUST FLY DOWN THE STREETS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE CHILDREN PLAYING AND PEDESTRIANS WALKING.
WE'VE TAKEN PRECAUTIONS TO KEEP TRAFFIC SLOW IN THIS AREA.
