          WE HAD A LONG CBC MEETING LAST NIGHT, SO, OKAY. 
          WELL, MR. BLAKES HAS NOT SHARED THIS WITH ME, BUT I ASSUME THAT IT'S TERRIFIC AND THAT HE CAN KIND OF GIVE US THE OVERARCHING GUIDANCE TOWARDS THE PLAN. 
          SO IF YOU WANNA SPEND FIVE OR 10 MINUTES WALKING THROUGH IT, SEE IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

          OKAY.

          THE CHAIR HAS OFFICIALLY ASKED FOR THE REORDER OF THE AGENDA ITEMS. THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          TAKEN AWAY. 
          SO AGAIN, MY NAME IS, UH, PATRICK BLAZE. 
          I'M CHIEF PLANNER WITH PLANNING EARLY DESIGN, OR SORRY, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES NOW. 
          UM, THANKS FOR HAVING ME. 
          UM, I'M GONNA GO OVER, UM, THE, UM, LBJ SKILLMAN AREA PLAN. 
          UM, I'M GONNA TRY TO GO THROUGH IT A LITTLE BIT QUICKLY. 
          UH, I WANNA ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE, UM, OUR COLLEAGUE FROM THE COUNTY, UH, LOUISE, WHO WAS A PART OF THIS PLANNING PROCESS WHEN HE WAS WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS, UM, AS WELL AS TWO SITTING MEMBERS OF CBC, UM, COMMISSIONER HAMON AND COMMISSIONER, WHO IS ACTUALLY, UM, THE COMMISSIONER FOR DISTRICT 10, UM, AS A PRIVATE CITIZENS, THEY'RE PART OF THIS PLANNING PROCESS. 
          UM, SO, UH, GONNA GO OVER IT REALLY QUICKLY AGAIN, THIS IS, UM, A PLANNING PROCESS, AN AREA PLANNING PROCESS THAT FOCUSED ON BASICALLY THE AREA AROUND WHERE SKILLMAN DER AND LBJ ALL COME TOGETHER. 
          UM, IT STARTED IN 2011, UH, FINISHED UP IN 2014. 
          IT'S A PRETTY, UH, TRADITIONAL PLANNING PROCESS, AS IN IT TOOK A LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS, DID A LOT OF RESEARCH THERE. 
          UM, DID COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, UM, ENDED UP CREATING SOME LAND USE VISION FOR THE AREA. 
          UM, THERE'S SOME RENDERINGS THAT ARE PART OF IT, SOME STREET NETWORKS AND STREETSCAPES. 
          UM, AGAIN, I'M GONNA GO OVER SOME OF THOSE A LITTLE BIT QUICKER, UM, BECAUSE THE PLAN IS, UM, A VERY BIG DOCUMENT. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, MORE THAN HAPPY TO DIVE INTO THOSE. 
          UM, A LITTLE BIT OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS, AGAIN, THIS IS AT 10, 12 YEARS OLDER, SO WE'RE NOT GONNA SPEND TOO MUCH TIME. 
          BUT IN SHORT, UM, THERE'S A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF RENTAL, UM, UH, RENTERS IN THE AREA. 
          THEY ALSO FIND A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN, A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF NON-FAMILY HOUSEHOLDS. 
          THAT MEANS BASICALLY THAT YOU ARE A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL OR THAT YOU ARE LIVING WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD WHO ARE NON-RELATIVES. 
          SO, GIRLFRIEND, BOYFRIEND, ROOMMATES, ALSO A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE OF COLOR. 
          AND THEY ALSO DID SOME DETAILED WORK ON, UM, THE, THE TRAFFIC COUNTS IN THIS AREA. 
          AGAIN, THESE TRAFFIC CAMPS ARE 10 OR 12 YEARS OLD, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF RESEARCH THAT WENT INTO UNDERSTANDING HOW PEOPLE WERE MOVING AROUND THIS AREA. 
          UM, AND THEIR ARM FIELDS. 
          UM, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EVENTS THAT OCCURRED WITH THIS. 
          UM, THEY TOOK THE PLACE THAT USUALLY YOU DO WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTS, YOU KIND OF SEE SOME BOARDS THERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND SOME MAP THERE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, THAT'S VISUAL PREFERENCE. 
          SO YOU SHOW PICTURES AND YOU SAY, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE, WHAT YOU'D NOT LIKE? WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, WOULD PREFER VERSUS THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULDN'T, UH, AGAIN, QUICKLY TOUCHING. 
          SO YOU CAN'T SEE ANY OF THE WORDS ON THIS BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALL. 
          BUT BASICALLY THIS SAYS, UH, WHEN THIS AREA, IF IT WERE TO REDEVELOP THE AREA AROUND GOING ONO AND LBJ, HOW WOULD YOU WANT IT TO REDEVELOP? UM, THE PURPLE, UM, THE BIGGEST PART THAT ABOUT 55%, THAT'S A MEDIAN DENSITY DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO THAT'S A LITTLE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, 
          [00:20:01]
APARTMENTS, OFFICES, RETAILS, THAT'S KIND OF A MEDIUM DENSITY. 
          UM, THE BLUISH COLOR THERE, THAT'S A HIGHER DENSITY. 
          THAT'S LIKE, UM, THE WEST VILLAGE IS THE EXAMPLE, I THINK. 
          YEAH, I'M UNSURE IF IT'S JUST ME, BUT, UM, WE'RE UNABLE TO HEAR. 
          SAME HERE. 
          I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING. 
          SAME. 
          I'M WITH YOU GUYS. 
          I'M SENDING SOMETHING IN THE CHAT. 
          UH, OH. 
          . 
          AND SO THAT'S NOT A, UM, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT EITHER THE COMMUNITY OR STAFF OR ANYBODY, BECAUSE THAT'S JUST TECH STOP WASN'T THINKING ABOUT THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, AS Y'ALL ARE THINKING ABOUT IT NOW, WE ARE MORE THINKING ABOUT, OKAY, WELL, OBJ EAST IS GONNA BE FINISHING UP HERE PRETTY QUICKLY. 
          THEY WERE THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN AS GILMAN AND ROB, THAT INTERSECTION CHANGES. 
          THERE'S GONNA BE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR REDEVELOPMENT BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE RIGHT OF WAY TO REDEVELOP. 
          AND HOW DO YOU USE THAT REDEVELOPMENT AS A CATALYST, THAT SECTION. 
          SO THE WAY THE COMMUNITY THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND THE WAY STAFF AND CONSULTANT WORK ON IT SAID, OKAY, SO WE WANT SOME TYPE OF MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL, BUT WITH SOME RETAIL AND OFFICE KIND OF MID DENSITY STUFF. 
          AND SO THEY HAVE THESE YELLOW BLOCKS THAT ARE UP HERE. 
          UM, YOU CAN KIND OF ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT AND SEE IT'S KIND OF THAT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, AGAIN, KIND OF THAT MID-RISE STYLE. 
          UM, THAT'S THREE AND FOUR STORIES. 
          UM, THEY HAVE SOME VERY NICE RENDERINGS THAT WERE PUT TOGETHER. 
          UM, AGAIN, THIS IS, THERE'S THE BRIDGE, UM, THAT'S GOING, OH, THAT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS GOING BRIDGE GOING OVER LBJ. 
          AND IT'S REALLY FOCUSED ON THIS IDEA THAT AS AN AREA REDEVELOPED AROUND THE DARK STATION, AROUND THE, THE, UH, THE CHANGE OF THE INTERSECTION THAT IT'S GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, HERE YOU HAVE THOSE RENDERINGS WHERE IT'S RETELLING THE GROUND FLOOR AND THEN THREE STORIES ABOVE, RIGHT? THAT KIND OF MIDDEN RESIDENT, UH, MIDDEN, RESIDENTIAL AND RETAIL. 
          UM, SO THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER WORK THAT FOCUSES ON THE STREETS SCAPES. 
          AND WHEN I PULLED OUT ONE STREETS SCAPES HERE, THIS IS GONNA BE ALL DEAL YET. 
          UM, BUT IT'S REALLY, UM, INDICATIVE OF A LOT OF THE WORK THAT WAS DONE AROUND THE STREETSCAPES WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT HAVING THESE COMPLETE STREETS, THESE MULTIMODAL STREETSCAPES THAT THEY'RE GONNA GO ON THERE. 
          HOW DO YOU GET MORE SIDEWALKS, MORE CYCLE TRACKS, MORE BIKE LANES THAT ARE GONNA GO BE ON THESE STREETS WHILE STILL ENABLING THE CAPACITY, UM, FOR THE PRIVATE AUTOMOBILE. 
          SO THAT'S A REALLY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE AREA PLAN, UM, ENCAPSULATED, UH, 10 OR 12 YEARS AGO. 
          UM, WE'RE GONNA GO ONE MORE CONVERSATION, UM, BECAUSE WE DID ADOPT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UM, FOR DALLAS, UM, A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. 
          UM, IN SHORT, IT REALLY, UM, IT TOOK A LOOK AT THIS PLAN. 
          IT ALSO TOOK A LOOK AT, UM, WHAT THE MARKET CONDITIONS WERE THERE NOW, AS WELL AS PUBLIC INPUT. 
          AND A LOT OF IT IS REALLY JUST, UM, IT, IT BUILDS UPON THE PLAN AND IT REALLY ESSENTIALLY SAYS YES, WHAT THEY, WHAT THEY DID 10 OR 12 YEARS AGO WAS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME VISION, UM, THAT IT IS FOR A MIXED USE. 
          UH, THE ONE SLIGHT CHANGE IS THAT WHERE THAT TRAIN STATION IS, UM, AND WHERE LV OR WHERE, UM,  CROSSES OVER, UM, LVJ IS THAT, THAT'S THE AREA THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DENSE THAN THE AREA AROUND IT. 
          SO UP THERE ON THE MAP, THAT AREA THAT'S IN, UM, DARKER RED, THAT'S THE AREA THAT SAYS, WELL, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY GO HIGHER THAN THAT MID RANGE. 
          BUT THEN THE RED AND THE ORANGE, THAT'S STILL THAT MID RANGE THAT SAYS THAT'S WHERE YOU STILL WANT, UM, THAT FOUR AND FIVE STORIES, BUT AROUND L OR AROUND THE TRAIN STATION. 
          THAT, AGAIN, IT'S A PLAN. 
          SO IT NOT, THIS DOESN'T 
          [00:25:01]
SAY YOU SHOULD DO THIS, IT SAYS IT'S POSSIBLE THAT YOU COULD DO FIVE STORIES, BUT ALSO THAT YOU MIGHT GO EIGHT OR 10 STORIES IF THE APPROPRIATE PROJECT COMES IN. 
          AND SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL HAVE. 
          I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. 
          WHEN YOU SAID YOU, UM, YOU GUYS JUST FINISHED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, GET PUBLIC INPUT, WAS THAT NEW PUBLIC INPUT OR DID YOU JUST TAKE GRAB FROM THIS WHOLE DOCUMENT? SO WE TOOK INPUT FROM, BECAUSE WHEN WE HAD A PLANNING PROCESS, WE ALWAYS WANTED TO HONOR THAT PLANNING PROCESS THAT WAS DONE BEFOREHAND. 
          SO WE TOOK THAT, AND THEN WE WENT BACK AFTER AND WE SAID, THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND. 
          MM-HMM . 
          IS THIS STILL THE CASE? MM-HMM . 
          AND IN THIS SITUATION WAS, YEAH, PRETTY MUCH JUST WITH THAT ONE CAVEAT OF, OKAY, WELL IF YOU'RE REALLY GONNA GO HIGHER, OKAY. 
          THE TRAIN STATION IS WHERE YOU GO HIGHER BECAUSE THAT'S ON THE HIGHWAY, THAT'S ON THE TRAIN STATION. 
          THAT'S DOD THAT'S AWAY FROM MOST OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE A TOWER IN SOMEBODY'S BACKYARD. 
          THAT'S WHERE YOU SHOULD PUT, CAN WE NO LONGER HEAR THE PRESENTATION? YEAH, IT DOESN'T APPEAR. 
          I CAN'T HEAR IT EITHER. 
          UM, YEAH, I HAD A QUESTION. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          I'VE BEEN PUTTING SOMETHING IN THE CHAT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE READING THAT. 
          LOVING THEM. 
          OH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE BACK. 
          HI, WE'RE BACK. 
          OH, HI MS. WARREN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'M SO SORRY YOU DIDN'T GET THAT PANEL'S INVITE. 
          WE'RE JUST GETTING INTO THE MEAT OF OUR AGENDA. 
          WE HAVE ASKED MR. BLADES TO, UM, STOP SHARING HIS SCREEN BECAUSE WE THINK THAT MAY HAVE PULLED US AWAY FROM, UM, THE ONLINE ABILITY. 
          SO WE ARE BACK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, LET'S TAKE A QUICK, I'M SORRY. 
          GO AHEAD, MS. MC, WHY DON'T WE DO, AND I HATE TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT MS. MCGOWAN HAS HER HANDS UP. 
          YOU WANNA INTRODUCE HERSELF AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A QUESTION. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR THE INVITE, UH, FOR THE MEETING AS WELL. 
          I AM A TRUSTEE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD FOR RISD AND SERVE IN DISTRICT FIVE, WHICH IS OUR LAKE HIGHLANDS COMMUNITY. 
          UM, I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT, UM, I KNOW YOU, YOU DID THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PIECE, AND WHICH I THINK IT'S A CRITICAL PART AND I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, BUT IS THIS PROPOSAL AND THIS PLAN FOR UNDEVELOPED LAND, AND MAYBE YOU'VE ALREADY STATED THAT MAYBE I CAME IN LATE, BUT IS IT ALL UNDEVELOPED LAND? AND IF IT IS, GREAT, WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH CURRENT LANDLORDS, UM, WITH CURRENT DEVELOPMENT AND HOW WE, HOW ARE YOU GUYS COMMUNICATING WITH THEM AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR THE CURRENT LANDLORDS AND RESIDENTS THAT ARE LIVING WHERE THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD TAKE PLACE? AND IT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. 
          SO THE, THE PLAN THAT I TALKED ABOUT, UH, FROM 2011 TO 2014, UH, THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF UNDEVELOPED LAND THERE WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT THE REALIGNMENT OF THE ROADS. 
          BUT THIS IS A FULLY BUILT OUT, UM, LOCATION. 
          AND SO THE PLAN ACTUALLY DELVES INTO, UM, IT DOES AN INVENTORY OF WHO OWNS THE PARCELS AND ALL OF THAT INFORMATION, AGAIN, THAT'S 10 OR 12 YEARS OLD. 
          SO IT, IT IS ADDED A LITTLE BIT OUT OF DATE BECAUSE THAT WAS WHEN THE PLAN WAS CREATED. 
          AND WE HAVEN'T DONE AN AREA PLAN SINCE THEN. 
          UM, AS FAR AS, UM, REDEVELOPMENT OF THAT AREA WITH THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE CURRENTLY LIVING THERE. 
          UM, AS FAR AS LAND USE, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT FOR THE CITY OF DALLAS TO HAVE TOOLS TO ADDRESS THAT POTENTIAL DISPLACEMENT FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS. 
          UM, BUT IN RECOGNIZING THAT, UM, WE WORK WITH HOUSING AND WHEN YOU HAVE REDEVELOPMENT OF, UM, 40 OR 50-YEAR-OLD AGING GARDEN STYLE APARTMENTS, THEY HAVE TOOLS TO HELP, UM, PREVENT OR THEY HAVE TOOLS TO ADDRESS UNWANTED DISPLACEMENT. 
          SO IF THOSE AREAS DO REDEVELOP, THERE ARE TOOLS IN WHICH YOU SAY, IF YOU WANNA STAY HERE AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN THE NEW STRUCTURES THAT ARE BUILT HERE, THE NEW HOUSING GETS BUILT HERE, HERE ARE THE WAYS IN 
          [00:30:01]
WHICH WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT. 
          UM, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE PLAN DID TALK ABOUT WAS THE NUMBER OF, UM, THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN THAT LIVE IN THAT LIVE HERE. 
          UM, AND SO I, I DON'T BELIEVE THE PLAN SIMPLY TALKS ABOUT IT, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WOMEN THAT LIVE HERE THAT GO TO SCHOOL IN THIS AREA. 
          UM, AND SO IF THIS AREA DOES REDEVELOP, UH, PLANNING STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE WORK WITH HOUSING TO ADDRESS ANY UNWANTED DISPLACEMENT, UM, OR POTENTIAL UNWANTED DISPLAY PLACEMENT IN THE AREA. 
          I APPRECIATE, I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS WELL WOULD PROBABLY BE REALLY INTERESTED IN KNOWING WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA, WHAT THOSE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE IF WE WERE TO BE LOSING FAMILIES AND STU KIDS, UM, IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          SO, UM, WHICH IS A REALLY LARGE CONCERN FOR US, BECAUSE THAT AFFECTS US FINANCIALLY OVERALL. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO, UM, OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION FOR NOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND YOU HAD A QUESTION REALLY QUICKLY ABOUT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MM-HMM . 
          UM, AND ONE THING THAT I WOULD ADD ON TO THAT, THE ONE SLIGHT CHANGE, AND YOU CALL IT SLIGHTLY, YOU CALL IT BIG, BUT THE CHANGE FROM THE PLAN TO, FOR DALLAS WAS THE INTENSITY OF SOME OF THAT DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE TRAIN STATION. 
          AND PART OF THAT IS INDICATIVE OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS THERE ON THE GROUND, BUT ALSO JUST THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THAT SAYS, UH, WHERE THAT TOLD US IF WE HAVE A THREE STORY TALL GARDEN STYLE APARTMENT, IF THAT GOES AWAY, WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE IT GO AWAY TO BUILD GROUND FLOOR RETAIL AND THREE STORIES OF APARTMENTS ON TOP OF IT. 
          THAT THAT DOESN'T ECONOMICALLY WORK. 
          WE NEED TO GO A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. 
          SO THAT'S THE SIX OR THE EIGHT FEET OR SIX OR THE EIGHT STORIES. 
          AND THAT'S NOT JUST HERE, THAT'S JUST THROUGHOUT DALLAS, THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHWEST. 
          SO KIND OF A COMMENT IN A QUESTION. 
          SO CLAIMS A DECADE OLD ISN'T, UM, I'VE BEEN ON TIFF FOR FIVE YEARS, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD ABOUT IT. 
          WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN DOING SIGNIFICANT PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION IN THIS EXACT AREA FOR FOUR YEARS. 
          UM, WE'VE HAD PRESENTED A COUPLE TIMES THE PLANS FOR SKILLMAN THE STREETS CASE FAR AS SKILLMAN. 
          I'M JUST, I'M JUST SOUTHWEST CORNER IS VACANT, HAS BEEN VACANT. 
          UM, I, YOU KNOW, SUSAN AND I WERE TALKING, WE THINK SOMEONE MAY HAVE PURCHASED IT. 
          IT WELL, WHERE'S THE PLAN BEEN AND HOW'S THE PLAN IN ACTION NOW? SO, UM, I KNOW THAT'S A HARD QUESTION. 
          SORRY. 
          WELL, TRYING TO ANSWER THE BEST I CAN. 
          UM, I HAVE BEEN WITH THE DEPARTMENT TWO AND A HALF YEARS, UM, YOU KNOW, WAS NOT PART OF THE PLANNING PROCESS EVER AGAIN. 
          UM, WELL, I CAN PROBABLY HELP YOU OUT THERE IF YOU WANT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, BECAUSE AGAIN, THERE'S NOT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT IN THIS, IN THE PLANNING AREA. 
          MM-HMM . 
          LIKE THE, THE, THE OLD, UH, BANKSTON NISSAN HAS CHANGED OVER, BUT THAT'S FAR SOUTH OF HERE. 
          AND SO AS FAR AS LAND USE GUIDANCE, THERE HASN'T BEEN, THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT WHERE YOU WOULD GO BACK TO THE PLAN TO SAY, WHAT DID THE PLANS SAY? UM, IN PART PROBABLY BECAUSE  SAID WE'RE GONNA REVIEW O, BJ AND EVERY LANDLORD WAS LIKE, WELL, WE WAIT FOR THAT. 
          RIGHT? BUT IF THERE'S INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, BUT JUST SOME BACKGROUND FOR YOU AS WELL, UM, IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF YOUR FORMER LEADERS. 
          UM, THE FORMER HEAD OF PLANNING HERE IN THE CITY THERE, O'DONNELL, WHO PULLED ME ASIDE AT A MEETING BACK IN 2000 8, 9, 10, WHENEVER IT WAS, AND SAID, YOU KNOW, IN, AS WE WERE GAINING SUCCESS AND MOMENTUM WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERCHANGE FROM A TRANSPORTATION STANDPOINT, SHE SAID, ONCE YOU PUT THAT IN PLACE, THE DEVELOPERS WILL, WILL COME AND WILL WANT TO REDEVELOP THOSE PROPERTIES. 
          AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE, THEY WILL DO IT FOR YOU. 
          SO THE COMMUNITY SAID, AH, GOOD TIP. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO, UH, WE WORKED WITH THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, UH, TO GET THEIR FUNDING THROUGH SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND THE T BOARD WAS ASKED TO PUT A MATCH TOGETHER AND THAT, THAT IS WHAT KICKED OFF THE STUDY. 
          AND WE DID THE PLAN PUTTING IT IN PLACE, 
          [00:35:01]
SO AS AN AREA PLAN, WHICH IS ALSO AN ADJUNCT TO, FOR DALLAS MM-HMM . 
          UM, AND IN SO THAT IT WOULD BE ESTABLISHED SO THAT WHEN DEVELOPMENT CAME TO THAT AREA, WE WOULD HAVE A BASELINE TO SAY, THIS IS WHAT THE COMMUNITY PREFERS. 
          SO SURE ENOUGH, WE, HERE WE ARE TODAY, AND SO IT IS BEEN SITTING ON THE SHELF. 
          YES. 
          IT HASN'T BEEN PULLED OFF THE SHELF FOR USE, UM, BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE CAN SEE STARTING OUT. 
          ALRIGHT, SO THIS PLAN IS MORE OF A GUARDRAIL FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN A PROACTIVE, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S PROBABLY GREAT WAY TO SAY IT. 
          SO, RELATED QUESTION, IS THERE ANY PLAN TO UPDATE THIS? UM, SO WE DO NOT HAVE DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT AREAS TO SPECIFICALLY WORK IN, UM, FORWARD. 
          SO, WELL LEMME REPHRASE THAT. 
          SO FORWARD DALLAS CREATED AND SAID, OKAY, HERE'S YOUR, YOUR VISION, YOUR GUARDRAILS. 
          AND WHEN THOSE GUARDRAILS DON'T MATCH WHAT THE ZONING IS, WE NEED TO GO OUT AND CHANGE THAT ZONING. 
          UM, BUT MOST OF WHAT FORD DALLAS DID WITH THAT RESPECT WAS MORE HEAVY INDUSTRY, NEXT DOOR, NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, IN WEST DALLAS AND JBI IN SOUTHERN DALLAS. 
          AND IT SAID, CHANGE THE ZONING ON THE GROUND TO, BECAUSE THE VISION DOESN'T MATCH WHAT THE ZONING IS. 
          UM, IT ALSO TALKED ABOUT OUR CORRIDORS AND THE FACT THAT, UM, RETAIL AND OFFICE ON OUR CORRIDORS ARE, IS NOT WHAT IT, IT'S NOT WHAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S CHANGED A LOT, NOT JUST IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. 
          AND SO IT SAYS IN OUR CORRIDORS, THOSE NEED TO BE MORE MIXED USE AS OPPOSED TO JUST COMMERCIAL OR JUST OFFICE. 
          UM, BUT THERE IS SKILLMAN AND ELIA AND ABRAMS AND FERGUSON AND GARLAND AND FOREST AND MARSH AND SO MANY DIFFERENT CORRIDORS THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE AN IMPETUS TO UPDATE THIS SPECIFICALLY UNLESS GIVEN THE DIRECTION TO SAY WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT THIS AREA SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, DID THE EXPANSION OF 6, 7, 5 NOT INVEST MOVING AT ALL? UM, IT, IT DOES, WELL, IT DIDN'T CHANGE ZONING. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, IT DOES BECAUSE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY, BUT IT DOESN'T SERVICE LINE. 
          YEAH. 
          THE, THE PROPERTY THAT YOU MENTIONED IS STILL, IT'S, UM, ZONED, UM, MC ONE, WHICH IS A MIXED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, WHICH, UM, DOESN'T ALLOW RESIDENTIAL. 
          AND SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUILDING MIXED USE BUILDING THAT HAS FIVE STORIES OF RESIDENTIAL, IT WOULD NEED TO CHANGE THE ZONING. 
          NOW THE AREA PLAN WOULD SAY THAT'S APPROPRIATE. 
          UM, AND  WOULD SAY THAT'S APPROPRIATE, BUT THAT WOULD BE A PRIVATE PARTY DEVELOPER DRIVEN PROCESS AS OPPOSED TO THE COMMUNITY OR TO BOARD SAYING, WE WANT TO CHANGE THE ZONING PROACTIVELY TO ENCOURAGE A CERTAIN TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IF A CITY WERE TO TAKE THAT ON. 
          I THINK ANOTHER CONSIDERATION, A LOT OF THINGS HAVE CHANGED. 
          MM-HMM. 
          BUT, UH, DEFINITELY THIS, THIS DIDN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE DARK PROPERTY. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF UNUTILIZED LAND THERE THAT'S NOT BEING ASPHALT. 
          NOW I THINK DARDEN'S DONE STATIONARY LAND AS THIS WAS DONE BE INCORPORATED. 
          THEY'VE, YEAH. 
          AND WE TALKED, UM, WE DID, BECAUSE ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THEY IS, EVEN DART'S ORIGINAL PLAN IS A SPOKEN WHEEL. 
          SO IT WAS GET EVERYBODY INTO DOWNTOWN DALLAS 'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE LIVE AND THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE WORK, RIGHT? AND THEY'VE REALIZED THAT THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE. 
          AND SO THEY WANT TO MAKE MORE OF THEIR STATIONS, UM, ACTIVE PLACES, DESTINATIONS. 
          YES. 
          AND SO TALKING WITH COMMISSIONER, UM, HOUSEWRIGHT, HE SAID HE THOUGHT THIS AREA WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR, UM, A JOB CENTRIC TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. 
          AS IN YOU PUT A CALL CENTER OR A HOSPITAL OR SOMETHING THERE AT THAT STATION, WE, THAT PROVIDES JOBS IN THAT AREA. 
          UM, BUT I WOULD LET HIM MAKE THAT THAT CASE. 
          UM, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, UM, THAT OUR PROPERTY, UM, WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY. 
          MR, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YOU WERE RAISING, NOT RAISING HAND ? WELL, AS I, AS I LISTEN, I KNOW, YOU KNOW, AS I LISTEN TO A LOT OF THE CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS THAT WERE WERE RAISED WERE BEING ANSWERED, BUT I, I WANTED TO THANK, UH, PATRICK FOR, FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THIS PLAN BACK MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO NOW. 
          UM, AND YES, A LOT HAS CHANGED AND I, I THINK THE, THE QUESTIONS I HAD WERE, AND WHICH WERE ADDRESSED AS HOW THIS WAS TRANSLATED INTO THE FORWARD DALLAS PLAN, UH, AND USING THAT MOVING FORWARD. 
          UH, 
          [00:40:01]
SO THANK YOU PATRICK FOR ADDRESSING THAT, UM, AS THIS, THE BASE PLAN NOW FOR LOOKING AT ZONING REQUESTS MOVING FORWARD, UM, AND THAT YES, THIS DOES ACT AS GUARDRAILS BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A VISION FOR YOUR AREA, SOMEONE CERTAINLY WILL GO AND IMPLEMENT THEIRS. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I THINK THIS WAS TIMELY TO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA. 
          YEAH. 
          AS WE GET INTO ANNUAL REPORT, WE'LL TALK KIND OF, UM, LBJ NEARING COMPLETION AND KIND OF TAKING UP, UM, DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO IT'S NICE TO HAVE A REMINDER OF WHAT THE PLAN SAYS. 
          ANYTHING ELSE FOR MR. BLADE BEFORE WE EXCUSE HIM? AND I'M HAPPY TO STICK AROUND. 
          I'M ALSO HAPPY TO STEP OUT IF YOU WANNA HAVE A CONVERSATION. 
          WELL, WE, WE PUT PUT YOU FIRST THINKING YOU DIDN'T WANNA SIT AROUND, BUT WHATEVER YOU WANT. 
          SO ACTUALLY, BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR APARTMENT AND THERE'S A NECKLACE WITH LIGHTS AND THERE'S A WHOLE BRIDGE HEAD I HAVE, BUT I WAS LIKE, THAT'S PROBABLY THOSE WACKY CITY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          IS THAT IT? WITH THAT? DO YOU WANNA CALL AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX? OKAY. 
          AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX, REVIEW AND CONSIDER THE SKILL QUARTER DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023. 
          2024. 
          AND DO YOU GONNA WALK US THROUGH THAT? I'M, I USUALLY LIKE MY CHAIR TO BE IN KICKING DISTANCE FROM ME, SO I KNOW. 
          OH, OH GOOD. 
          YOU'RE JUST MOVING SCREENS. 
          I THOUGHT WE LOST AGAIN. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK YOU'RE TRYING TO PULL UP THE ANNUAL REPORT. 
          UM, SO I WILL, BECAUSE WE HAVE, LIKE I SAID, IT'S BEEN A WHILE, WE HAVE SOME NEW FACES. 
          I'LL, I'LL MARCH THROUGH THIS. 
          LET ME KNOW IF I'M GOING TOO FAST, TOO SLOW. 
          UM, TO START OUT WITH, I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS CONSIDERED A DRAFT REPORT. 
          UM, AND SO WE WOULD ASK THAT ANY MOTION YOU MAKE ON THIS AGENDA ITEM THAT IT CAN BE MADE SUBJECT TO THE ABILITY TO MAKE MINOR EDITS. 
          ONE EXAMPLE OF THAT IS OUR ACCOUNTING TEAM TYPICALLY DURING DECEMBER, GETS ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, UM, SQUARED AWAY. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE NOT IN THE BUDGET, NOT THAT MUCH, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT NUMBER IS GONNA BE ADJUSTED. 
          UM, WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH, UM, APPROVAL REVIEWS AS WE'LL, LOOK TO THE CITY ATTORNEYS, TO MY DIRECTORS. 
          SO THERE'LL STILL BE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS, ANYTHING MATERIAL, YOU CERTAINLY WILL KNOW ABOUT IT. 
          I CAUGHT A COUPLE MISTAKES THIS MORNING DESPITE THE FACT I THOUGHT I HAD IT ALL IN GOOD SHAPE. 
          SO WITH THAT, ALRIGHT, THE MISSION STATEMENT MR. RE POINTED OUT, THESE ARE KIND OF STA AND THAT'S BECAUSE THIS, UM, UH, ANNUAL REPORT, UM, STARTED WHEN THE TIP DISTRICT STARTED BACK IN 2006. 
          AND SO THE TIF DISTRICT PLAN IS OUR LOCAL DOCUMENTS THAT IT'S KIND OF THE, THE BE ALL OF HOW WE OPERATE. 
          AND THAT COMES DOWN FROM CHAPTER THREE 11 STATE LAW AND INTERPRETED ON THE LOCAL LEVEL INTO THE PLAN. 
          AND THIS ANNUAL REPORT TAKES THAT PLAN AND KIND OF LAYS OUT WHERE WE'RE, SO SOME OF IT IS VERY STATIC BECAUSE WE'RE JUST ADDING ON. 
          SO, UM, REALLY WE'RE GONNA FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR AND KIND OF THE NEAR TERM STUFF. 
          BUT I'LL TRY TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE BIGGER THINGS AND THE BROADER SENSE OF THE DISTRICT. 
          UM, SO THE DISTRICT IS DUE TO TERMINATE ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2035. 
          THERE IS A CAVEAT TO THAT AS WELL. 
          IT IS THE SOONER OF REACHING THE BUDGET COUNT OR DECEMBER 31ST, 2035. 
          AND AS WE LOOK THROUGH THE BUDGET AND THE PROJECTIONS, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, LET'S SEE. 
          I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING HIGHLIGHTED HERE. 
          SO, UM, ON PAGE, UM, SO ON PAGE SIX, UM, WE START TO GET INTO KIND OF THE CHARTING OF THE PROJECTS. 
          AND THIS IS SPLIT BY PROJECTS THAT THE TIFF PARTICIPATED IN. 
          AND THEN THOSE THAT WE DIDN'T, WE LIKE TO TAKE SOME CREDIT IN OUR TIF DISTRICT PLANS TO SAY WITHOUT THE TIF. 
          UM, SOME OF THIS WOULD NOT OCCUR. 
          UM, BUT TO SET THE STAGE FOR THAT, THIS TIFF UM, DISTRICT DID HAVE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PLAN AMENDMENT, UM, BACK IN MARCH OF 2023. 
          SO OUTSIDE OF THE FISCAL YEAR, BUT, UM, THAT ADDED ON 19 PARCELS 
          [00:45:01]
AND ALLOWED FOR THE FOREST A DELIO PROJECT. 
          UM, THAT PROJECT IS FUNDED PARTIALLY WITH TIF FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF JUST OVER $5.51 MILLION. 
          UM, AND THAT IS CONSIDERED A MULTIPURPOSE FACILITY AS WELL AS A PARK. 
          AND I THINK I, I'LL GET TO THE, UH, WHERE WE ARE IN THAT IN A MOMENT. 
          BUT AS FAR AS THE PROJECTS, UM, KIND OF THE DEVELOPER DRIVEN PROJECTS, UM, WE'VE, UM, FUNDED WITH TIFF INVESTMENT $16.85 MILLION, AND THAT'S LEVERAGED ABOUT $69 MILLION IN ACTUAL VALUE EVERY YEAR. 
          WE UPDATE THAT, UM, VALUE ESTIMATE TO ACTUAL TAXABLE VALUE. 
          AND THEN ON PAGE SEVEN QUESTION, SORRY. 
          YEAH, OF COURSE. 
          UH, SO THE TIFF DIS DISTRICT DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN LAKE ISLANDS TOWN CENTER PHASE TWO AT ALL. 
          NO. 
          THERE WAS A TERMINATION OF SOME OF THE INITIAL AGREEMENTS. 
          UM, YES. 
          SO DEVELOPER WANTED A LITTLE BIT MORE RIGHT. 
          CONTROL. 
          YES. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, UH, LIKE SAY, YOU KNOW, OUR MONEY COMES WITH STRING AND THERE'S, IT DOES IT AND DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO, TO USE OUR FUNDS? UM, SOMETIMES WE APPRECIATE HAVING SOME FUNDING IN THERE TO HAVE SOME AFFORDABILITY AND SOME DESIGN CONTROL, BUT WE CAN'T, CAN'T MAKE THEM. 
          SO I WANNA NOTE, UM, ON THE BOTTOM OF PAGE SEVEN, THE OLD GOOSE PROJECT, I'M SURE ALL YOU KNOW, IS NOW CALLED HAVEN WOOD HEIGHTS. 
          IT'S 36, UM, HOMES. 
          I'M FROM SITE WORK UNDERWAY TO UNDER CONSTRUCTION MM-HMM . 
          BECAUSE THAT'S OUR MORE TYPICAL LANGUAGE. 
          UH, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A ROBERT ELLIOT CUSTOM HOMES BETWEEN 2,003,000 SQUARE FEET, KEEPING THE SAME NUMBER OF LOTS. 
          SO IN TOTAL ABOUT $671 MILLION WORTH OF INVESTMENT. 
          AND THESE ARE WHAT WE KIND OF CAPTURE AS SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS. 
          WE KNOW THAT OTHER THINGS HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT THAT MAY NOT BE CAPTURED AS FAR AS, UH, MIXED INCOME HOUSING. 
          UM, WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE PROJECT SUBJECT TO THAT AFFORDABILITY THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO THIS OFFICE AND TO ALL OF OUR PROJECTS. 
          THAT'S THE HAVEN. 
          UM, WE, OUR, OUR MONITORING TEAM GOES OUT THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE DOING THEIR 20% AFFORDABILITY. 
          HOWEVER, THEY STILL HAVE NOT PAID PAYMENT. 
          THERE WAS STILL SOME OUTSTANDING ISSUES. 
          THAT'S BEEN YEARS. 
          SO, UM, PA STARTING ON PAGE EIGHT IS OUR CONSISTENT INITIATIVE. 
          SO THESE ARE KIND OF NON-DEVELOPER DRIVEN PROJECTS, MORE THE DISTRICT WIDE FUNDS. 
          THEY, UM, THIS TIP DISTRICT HAS BEEN PRETTY ACTIVE WITH THESE TYPE OF INITIATIVES. 
          NOT ALL ARE, AND THERE A LOT OF TIMES WE'RE LEVERAGING OTHER, I'M SORRY, I HAVE MY BACK TO YOU GUYS. 
          THIS IS ALWAYS, UM, WE'RE LEVERAGING OTHER, UM, JURISDICTIONS FUNDS, WHETHER THAT'S FROM THE COUNTY, FROM COG TEXT OUT, WHATEVER IT IS. 
          IT'S A GOOD WAY FOR US TO INFUSE SOME MONEY, UM, TO LEVERAGE PROJECTS. 
          SO AT THE TOP OF PAGE NINE IS WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, THE, UM, LAND USE PLAN. 
          UM, THERE'S BEEN, UM, HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS FROM LAKE HIGHLANDS TOWN CENTER TO THE EXISTING WHITE ROCK CREEK TRAIL. 
          UM, THE TIP PARTICIPATED IN THAT. 
          UM, WE'VE ALSO DONE THE, SOME MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS AND SOME EXTENSIONS OF TRAILS. 
          UM, BOTTOM OF PAGE NINE IS, UM, OUR, OUR DREDGING PROJECT. 
          SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE TIP BOARD TACKLED. 
          A COUPLE YEARS AGO, UM, THE DALLAS WATER UTILITIES HAD $1.6 MILLION TO DREDGE THE WATER CREST PARK, UH, POND, WHICH IS AT LAKE HIGHLANDS TOWN CENTER. 
          THAT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO GET THE JOB DONE. 
          THEY ASKED US TO MATCH THAT. 
          UM, SO THE TIFF PUT IN $1.6 MILLION. 
          UM, AND ALSO SAID, PLEASE DON'T COME BACK TO US AND ASK FOR ANY MORE. 
          BUT THAT PROJECT WAS COMPLETED, UH, DURING THE FISCAL YEAR. 
          UH, SO ALL THAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE. 
          UM, WE ALSO, UH, DEDICATED $60,000 TO A STUDY THAT WOULD LOOK AT, UM, HOW TO HAVE LESS MAINTENANCE IN THE POND IN THE FUTURE. 
          UM, THAT STUDY IS COMPLETE. 
          IT DOES HAVE SOME IDEAS. 
          UM, SOME OF IT IS TAKING IT BACK TO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE NATURAL STATE THAT WOULD TAKE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL DOLLARS THAT WE DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW TO IMPLEMENT. 
          BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS, AND AS THE STILL SO STARTS TO ACCUMULATE AGAIN, WE CAN START THINKING ABOUT, 
          [00:50:02]
AND PROBABLY NOT THE TIF BOARD, BUT DWU AND OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS. 
          ANOTHER INITIATIVE THAT, UH, THE TIF BOARD TOOK ON WAS AN ASK FROM THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TO HELP WITH SOME STREET LIGHTING AND FIBER OPTICS. 
          UM, THAT CAME THROUGH KINDA THE SAFETY PLAN THAT THE MAYOR DID. 
          THE LIGHTS ARE ALL, UM, IN OPERATION. 
          THE, UH, FIBER OPTICS THAT WERE MADE PART OF THAT ARE ON, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT COMPLETE BECAUSE I GUESS THERE'S A TIE IN TO LB AT LBJ EAST. 
          SO THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT TO COMPLETE ALL THE FIBER OPTICS. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AS FAR AS THAT FOREST LIO PROJECT, WE HAVE, UM, SENT THE MONEY OVER TO THE PARK DEPARTMENT. 
          THEY HAVE NOT STARTED DRAWING DOWN. 
          THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF IN-HOUSE WORK. 
          THE PARK DEPARTMENT IS, UM, THE PARK SIDE IS GONNA GET DONE FASTER THAN THE PROGRAMMATIC BUILDING SIDE. 
          UM, I THINK THAT THEY HAVE NOW COME TO TERMS WITH WHERE THE POLICE, YOU KNOW, LITTLE POCKETS CAN GO WITHIN THAT FACILITY WHERE THE LIBRARY COMPONENT, THE OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS WHERE EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE SITUATED. 
          UM, SO THE REPORT FROM THE PARK DEPARTMENT IS THAT THE, THAT DESIGN OF THE REC CENTER, THE FACILITY ITSELF IS ONGOING. 
          THEY HOPE TO HAVE A DESIGN COMPLAINT APRIL, 2025 AND CONSTRUCTION STARTING IN 2025, COMPLETION SPRING 2026. 
          AS FAR AS THE PARK ITSELF, THEY'RE WAITING FOR SOME EQUIPMENT TO COME IN AND THEY HOPE TO HAVE THAT COMPLETE BY AUGUST OF 2025. 
          ALRIGHT, THE NEXT SEVERAL PAGES ARE, UM, CHARTS OF ALL THOSE INITIATIVES THAT WERE IN TEXT FORM BEFORE. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA SKIP THROUGH THAT ON PAGE 13 AS A PROJECT MAP. 
          THAT'S ONE OF THE MISTAKES I CAUGHT THIS MORNING IS THAT, UM, WHERE 14 IS TAGGED, IT STILL SAYS GOOSE AT WHITE ROCK VALLEY. 
          SO I'LL GET THAT UPDATED BEFORE IT GOES TO, IT'S ALL TRASH. 
          SO I GET THAT UPDATED. 
          ALRIGHT, LET'S HIT THE NUMBERS. 
          SO, UM, PAGE 14 IS THE VALUE AND INCREMENT REVENUE SUMMARY. 
          UM, THIS IS A VERY LARGE DISTRICT. 
          IT COVERS A LOT OF PARCELS. 
          THE VALUE 2024 VALUE IS OVER $1.6 BILLION. 
          THAT INCLUDES THE 19 PARCELS THAT WERE ADDED IN 2023. 
          UM, THE INCREASE FROM 2023 VALUES IS 7.8%, UM, WHICH IS PRETTY HEALTHY. 
          AND THAT WILL RESULT IN WHAT WE ANTICIPATE TO BE COLLECTED. 
          2024 VALUES GET COLLECTED IN 2025, UH, $10.946 MILLION. 
          UM, JUST TO NOTE, UM, IDS PARTICIPATION IS GONNA CAP OUT THIS YEAR. 
          UM, THEY HAVE A CAP OF $16,577,358 WAS, UM, BASICALLY AN ASSUMPTION FROM A $10 MILLION NPD, BUT IT IS WRITTEN INTO THE LOCAL INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT. 
          AND THAT WILL BE, UM, UM, WITH THAT 2025 COLLECTIONS, THE CITY PARTICIPATES IN THIS TIF DISTRICT AT LEVEL OF 85%. 
          SO THAT MEANS OF ALL OF THE, UM, INCREMENTAL OR THE TAXES COLLECTED, 15% GOES TO THE CITY GENERAL FUND OR WHEREVER IT GOES. 
          AND 85% GETS COLLECTED INTO THE TIP DISTRICT. 
          THE COUNTY PARTICIPATES AT A LEVEL OF 55% EACH YEAR. 
          RISD WAS, UH, OR UNTIL, UM, UNTIL NOW PARTICIPATING IT IS A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THEIR DEBT SERVICE PORTION OF THE TAX RATE, WHICH IS ABOUT 35% OF THEIR TAXES. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, AS I DESCRIBED, A LOT OF THIS COMES FROM THE PLAN ITSELF. 
          AND SO THESE OBJECTIVES AND SUCCESS INDICATORS COME FROM THE PLAN. 
          UM, I'M NOT GONNA GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM, BUT YOU KNOW, WE ARE MAKING OUR WAY THROUGH HITTING THOSE GOALS. 
          ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE, THE RETAIL SIDE, UM, THERE'S INFORMATION IN HERE, UM, ABOUT RISD, UM, WHICH I, THIS WAS INTERESTING AS MS. MCGOWAN, UH, WAS TALKING ABOUT, IS TO TALK ABOUT THE STABILITY OF THE LOCAL SCHOOLS 
          [00:55:01]
AND TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN, UH, LAKE HIGHLANDS TOWN CENTER, UM, CAME TO FRUITION. 
          AND IT SAYS THAT OCCUPANCY LEVELS WERE, WERE LOW AT THE TIME. 
          AND SO THERE WERE 110 UNIT RELOCATION SPECIFICALLY TRACKED IN AUGUST OF 2007. 
          AND 78% OF THOSE RELOCATED TO ANOTHER COMPLEX WITHIN RISD. 
          SO WE DO TRY TO TRACK ALL OF THAT AND BE SENSITIVE, UM, TO ANY NEEDED RELOCATIONS. 
          UM, THE DART RIDERSHIP, UM, WAS IMPORTANT AS FAR AS THE PLAN IS CONCERNED AND HOW THAT RIDERSHIP LOOKS. 
          SO PAGE 18 TALKS ABOUT THAT. 
          OF COURSE, WE HAD A HUGE DIP DURING COVID. 
          UM, IT'S STARTING TO RISE AGAIN. 
          THAT, THAT RIDERSHIP. 
          I WANNA HIT, UM, THE MIDDLE OF PAGE 17. 
          UM, THE, UH, BUDGET CAPACITY. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO COLLECT EVERY YEAR. 
          UM, THE BUDGET CAPACITY, THE BUDGET IS $49.7 MILLION IN NET PRESENT VALUE. 
          WE'VE ALREADY COLLECTED 36.6 MILLION IN NPV. 
          THAT'S 73.6% OF THE GOAL. 
          AND SO EACH YEAR WHEN WE GET NEW VALUES, WE'RE THE STAFF IS LOOKING AT PROJECTIONS OF, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MAKING ASSUMPTIONS OF CONSERVATIVE GROWTH, AGGRESSIVE GROWTH. 
          AND WHEN OR WHEN DO WE THINK THAT WE'RE GONNA KIND OF CAP OUT AT THIS NP B LEVEL. 
          WHEN I LOOK AT IT, I THINK WE COULD REACH THAT CAP IN 2028, WHICH WOULD BE 2029 COLLECTIONS. 
          IF WE HAD REALLY GOOD YEARS, IT COULD BE EVEN BEFORE THAT. 
          UM, AND THAT EVEN STARTS TO SLOW DOWN NOW THAT RASD WILL BE OUT AND THEN EVENTUALLY COUNTY ONLY PARTICIPATES THROUGH 2027 ACCORDING TO THEIR INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT. 
          SO EVEN WITH THAT KIND OF LESSENING OF PARTICIPATION, UM, I THINK THAT WE COULD, UM, CAP OUT, REACH OUR FULL BUDGET BY 2028 ISH. 
          INTERESTINGLY, I WENT BACK TO SOME OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN AND IT TALKS ABOUT, UM, THE PROPOSED DURATION OF THE SPELMAN COURT. 
          TIF DISTRICT IS 30 YEARS. 
          IT'S SCHEDULED TO TERMINATE DECEMBER 31ST, 2035. 
          AND IT TALKS ABOUT THAT 85 PARTICIPATION AND 55 BY THE COUNTY. 
          AND THEN IT SAYS BASED ON CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTIONS, THE TIF BUDGET IS EXPECTED TO BE REACHED IN 2026 AFTER 19 YEARS OF COLLECTIONS. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING, WE'VE HAD THE, WE'VE HAD TWO THINGS OCCUR. 
          EITHER WE'RE REALLY AGGRESSIVE IN WHAT WE ARE HOPING TO COLLECT AND WE NEVER GET THERE. 
          I MEAN WE'RE LOOKING 20, 25, 30 YEARS OUT DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF THE TIFF DISTRICT. 
          SO SOMETIMES WE'RE HOPING FOR THE BEST 'CAUSE YOU DON'T WANNA LEAVE MONEY ON THE TABLE BASICALLY 'CAUSE YOU CAN COLLECT, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SETTING FORTH FIRST, WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH? HOW MUCH MONEY WILL THAT TAKE? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE US TO GET THERE? AND SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE PROJECTING WE HAVE REALLY HIGH HOPES AND WE NEVER REACH THAT BUDGET CAP. 
          IN OTHER INSTANCES, THIS HAPPENED TO  AS WELL. 
          THINGS ARE GOING GREAT, THERE'S A TON OF PARCELS. 
          I MEAN YOU TAKE ONE SHOPPING CENTER THAT WASN'T THERE, YOU KNOW, WALMART AND ALL THAT HUGE GROWTH. 
          AND SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS ALWAYS CONTEMPLATED THAT WE MIGHT GET THERE BEFOREHAND AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT, UM, THAT WILL LIKELY OCCUR. 
          SO QUESTION ON THIS. 
          SO I WAS LOOKING, COMPARING THIS ONE TO LAST YEAR. 
          SO IT SAYS THAT WE ARE NOW AT, UM, AT ONE THAT WE'RE AT $36 MILLION. 
          AND I LOOK AT LAST YEAR'S WE WERE AT $32 MILLION, BUT WHEN YOU WENT UP TO THE POINT YOU HIT EARLIER, WE COLLECTED 10. 
          WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ACTUAL DOLLARS VERSUS NB. 
          SO OUR, OUR, UM, INCREMENT CHART, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE HAVE OUR ACTUAL, AND THEN THE, THE PLAN DICTATES THAT WE CALCULATED A 5% DISCOUNT RATE. 
          SO THE PLAN, ALL OF OUR PLANS HAVE A BUDGET CAP AT NPB AND AN ESTIMATED ACTUAL MM-HMM  SO OUR ACTUAL COLLECTIONS MIGHT BE 10 MILLION, BUT WE'RE DISCOUNTING IT BACK. 
          WE'RE DISCOUNTING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2006. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          YES. 
          SO WE HAVE, UM, KIND OF THE, I CAN PASS THIS AROUND, BUT 
          [01:00:01]
WE HAVE OUR CUMULATIVE AMOUNT, UM, WITH THE 2006 MPB AT 5%. 
          AND SO, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE USING HERE TO COME UP WITH THAT 36 POINT WHATEVER MILLION COLLECTIVE THAT'S AN N. 
          SO THE 36 IS A 2006 NUMBER? NO, THAT'S THE ACTUAL COLLECTIONS TO DATE IN DISCOUNTED NP BACK TO TWO SIX. 
          SO YOU MEANT TO COMPARE THAT? WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THE BUDGET, UH, PAGE YET. 
          I WAIT, I WAIT THERE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          NATALIA, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO BE READY IN THE BUDGET PERSON . 
          UM, WE DID ADD A COUPLE OF NEW GOALS IN THE 2023 PLAN. 
          I DIDN'T CAPTURE ANYTHING THERE. 
          UM, WE'LL START REPORTING ON THAT AS THERE'S STUFF TO REPORT, UM, ON PAGE 18. 
          ANYONE WHO IS ON THE BOARD IN DECEMBER, ON DECEMBER 1ST, 2023, PLEASE CHECK, MAKE SURE THAT I'M TELLING THE TRUTH THERE, UM, BY MY RECORDS. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          PAGE 19 ON THE BUDGET. 
          UM, AGAIN, 49.68 MILLION NPV, WHICH UM, IS $111.86 MILLION AND ACTUAL, UM, FOR THE TIFF BUDGET, AGAIN, THIS GETS ADJUSTED EVERY YEAR BASED ON, IT JUST GETS TWEAKED BASED ON HOW QUICKLY OR SLOWLY THE MONEY COMES IN. 
          SO WE'VE ALLOCATED $30.68 MILLION. 
          UM, THAT ADMIN IS JUST A FUNNY PILLAR TO REMIND ME TO REMIND YOU, UM, THAT WE STILL NEED TO UPDATE ADMIN COSTS FOR 2324. 
          AND SO WE HAVE A BALANCE OF $81 MILLION. 
          UM, THIS TIP DISTRICT BUDGET IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN OTHERS. 
          IT'S NOT BY LINE ITEM, IT'S MORE BY AREA. 
          BUT THERE'S CAPACITY BOTH WITHIN, UM, KIND OF THAT SKILLMAN, WALNUT HILL, TIER D TOWN CENTER IS WHAT IT WAS CALLED. 
          AND OTHER, UM, MANY YEARS FROM NOW, IF WE DECIDE THAT MONEY NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED TO ONE PLACE THAT COULD OCCUR THROUGH THIS BOARD AND THEN CITY COUNCIL , WELL, I WAS GONNA SAY NOW, NOW CAN YOU RELATE THAT $36.6 MILLION FIGURE TO, WHAT'S THIS CHART? WHERE DOES THAT RESIDE ON THIS CHART? THE, THE BOTTOM CHART IT IS RELATED TO THE 49.684 MILLION. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S THE 70 WHATEVER PERCENT OKAY. 
          OF THE NPV BUDGET, MAKE SURE. 
          RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE I MOVE ON? YEAH, SO WE'VE GOT ON THE, YOU KNOW, THE BOTTOM CHART THERE, THAT 20 MILLION FOR TOWN CENTER, UM, SINCE OUR WORK WITH TOWN CENTER IS EVENTUALLY DONE, COULD THAT ALSO INCLUDE SKILLMAN STREET IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT GENERAL AREA OR WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WE'D HAVE TO COMPLETELY CHANGE? IS IT LIKE LITERALLY THE TOWN CENTER PLOT? YEAH, WELL IF AND WHEN SKILLMAN STREET COMES UP, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT INTERNALLY THAT, YOU KNOW, I'LL LOOK AT THE BUDGET LINE ITEMS AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, IT ALL NEEDS TO GO TO OTHER, OR ONE FIFTH OF IT CAN GO INTO THAT CATEGORY. 
          IT'S REALLY KIND OF AN INTERNAL ACCOUNTING OF WHAT THAT BUDGET LINE ITEM COMES FROM. 
          AGAIN, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, GETTING DOWN TO A ZERO BALANCE ON EITHER OF THESE, BUT IF, LIKE I SAID, IF WE NEEDED TO SHIFT, WE COULD, BUT THAT'LL BE KINDA A INTERNAL FUNCTION OF TRYING TO JUSTIFY WHICH LINE ITEM WE SHOULD BE PULLING FROM. 
          AND IT CAN BE A COMBINATION OF, BUT CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR ANY FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DOWN CENTER THEN, OR IS THE 20 MINUTE SET ASIDE FOR IT AGAIN, IT WAS JUST A LINE. 
          SO IT'S JUST A LINE ITEM THAT HAS BEEN THERE. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THERE'S STARTING TO NO PLAN FOR USE. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          SO, UM, IF WE WERE EVER TO WANT, AND THIS IS HARD SOMETIMES POLITICALLY, BUT YOU KNOW, TO, TO ADJUST THE BUDGET UP OR DOWN, THAT REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING AND NOTICE INTO THE NEWSPAPER AND STUFF. 
          BUT IF YOU'RE JUST SHIFTING AMONG BUDGET CATEGORIES WITH THE SAME CAP THAT TAKES TIF BOARD ACTION AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL WITHOUT THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          SO THAT'S NOT A REALLY CHALLENGING TASK, BUT AGAIN, THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY IN BOTH RIGHT NOW THAT I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO CONSIDER IT AT THIS TIME. 
          [01:05:03]
PAGE 20 IS OUR MINORITY AND WOMEN OWNED, UM, BUSINESS PARTICIPATION FOR ALL OF OUR DEVELOPMENT. 
          DOEY, SORRY. 
          YES, I THINK THERE'S TWO HANDS UP, BUT, UM, OH, THANK YOU. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE CUT OFF. 
          I AM SO SORRY. 
          UP FIRST AND THEN I HAVE A QUESTION AS WELL, SO I'LL LET HER GO FIRST. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          I THANK YOU FOR CALLING THAT OUT. 
          TRUSTEE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? UH, SORRY. 
          UM, UM, AS FAR AS LIKE THESE, THIS IS THE BUDGET FOR THE SKILLMAN CORRIDOR TIFF, UM, AND I JUST CAN'T HELP BUT TO WONDER, UM, AS FAR AS LIKE LAKE HIGHLANDS COMMUNITY GOES, UH, LIKE HAMILTON PARK AND ACROSS THE WAY WHERE YOU HAVE NORTHWOOD ESTATES, WHICH IS ALSO PART OF LAKE HIGHLANDS, UM, AND THEN EAST OF, EAST OF THIS AREA IS SKILLMAN, RIGHT? IT'S FOREST LANE AND IT RUNS OVER TO SKILLMAN. 
          IS THAT AREA NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AT ALL? I DIDN'T CAPTURE ALL OF THAT. 
          UM, I DIDN'T CAPTURE ALL THE AREAS OF NOTE. 
          UM, TYPICALLY OUR, UM, TIP DISTRICTS WERE TRYING TO CAPTURE PRIMARILY COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AND VACANT LAND, THINGS THAT WE THINK CAN INCREASE IN VALUE OVER TIME. 
          AND SO A LOT OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS ARE TYPICALLY NOT INCLUDED IN TIP DISTRICT BOUNDARIES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ONE OF THE AREAS OF CONCERN I'VE ALWAYS SHARED AND ALWAYS QUESTIONED JUST BECAUSE I GREW UP IN THIS AREA AND WATCHED IT AND, AND HAVE WATCHED DEVELOPMENT OVER DECADES, UM, IS THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL STRIP THAT THERE'S A COUPLE, RIGHT? THERE'S THE ONE AT FOREST AND GREENVILLE WHERE YOU'VE, THERE'S CHASE BANK AND THEN YOU'VE GOT, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT IS A RETAIL COMMERCIAL STRIP AND THEN YOU HAVE FOR, AND THEN YOU HAVE GOING NORTH OF THAT, NORTH OF GREENVILLE, YOU HAVE RIGHT, RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET TO 6 35, IT'S ANOTHER COMMERCIAL STRIP. 
          IT WOULD BE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE LAND THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERING DOING. 
          UM, CITY OF REFUGE, RIGHT? IT'S THE CITY OF LAND THAT'S RIGHT ACROSS THAT, THAT EMPTY LOT. 
          THERE'S A STRIP OF RETAIL COMMERCIAL RIGHT ACROSS FROM THERE. 
          SO THOSE TWO THAT ARE RIGHT THERE ON FOREST THAT ARE RIGHT THERE ON GREENVILLE, NOT FAR OFF OF SKILLMAN. 
          IS THAT NOT PART OF THIS? NOT RIGHT NOW. 
          NO, IT'S NOT, NO. 
          UM, IF, YOU KNOW, TIF DISTRICTS AREN'T NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, FIELD OF DREAMS THAT JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A, A TIF DISTRICT OVERLAY, IF WE CALL IT THAT, THAT SOMETHING WILL OCCUR IF THERE IS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY. 
          A DEVELOPER CAME TO US THAT HAD A FINANCIAL GAP, UM, IT IS POSSIBLE TO AMEND BOUNDARIES. 
          IT'S THAT FIRST, UM, DESCRIPTION WHERE IT REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING COMES THROUGH TIF BOARD. 
          BUT THAT, THAT COULD BE DONE. 
          IF THERE IS A FUTURE NEED THAT WE SEE, WE PROBABLY WOULD NOT PROACTIVELY GO GRAB THOSE, THOSE AREAS, THOSE PARCELS. 
          BUT UM, IF THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT TO BE HAD, WE WOULD CERTAINLY LOOK INTO AND CONSIDER MOVING THAT INTO THE TIP DISTRICT BOUNDARY. 
          THE OTHER INTERESTING THING IS, UM, WE'VE GOT OUR ATTORNEYS ON, HOPEFULLY THEY WON'T BE MAD AT ME FOR SAYING THIS NOW, UM, BY STATE LAW, WE ARE ALLOWED TO, UM, FUND PLACES OF PUBLIC ASSEMBLY AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING OUTSIDE OF THE ZONE BOUNDARIES, SO LONG AS IT BENEFITS THE ZONE ITSELF. 
          SO SOMETIMES WE CAN MAKE A BINDING THAT HAPPENS IN CITY CENTER, FOR INSTANCE, WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT THESE KIND OF RANDOM PARCELS IN AND OUT, BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S AN ADJACENT PARCEL THAT'S A MIXED INCOME HOUSING PROJECT THAT BENEFITS THE ZONE. 
          YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO PULL IT IN. 
          BUT THAT'S, UM, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WORK ON IF THERE'S A PROJECT, UM, THAT IF A DEVELOPER COMES TO US, UM, WE WOULD CERTAINLY LOOK AT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU MS. WARREN. 
          YES. 
          I WANTED TO GO BACK TO PAGE 19, THE LOWER CHART RELATED TO THE TOWN CENTER AND THE $20 MILLION BUDGET. 
          UM, SO AT THIS POINT, 
          [01:10:02]
WITH THE STATUS OF THE TOWN CENTER, HOW MUCH IS REMAINING IN THAT BUDGET AND WHERE MIGHT THOSE DOLLARS GO, JUST HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING? RIGHT. 
          SO AGAIN, THAT'S THE MPD UM, BUDGET. 
          ACTUAL BUDGET IS CLOSER TO 45.6 MILLION. 
          WE'VE ALLOCATED 12. 
          THERE'S A BALANCE OF 33 MILLION. 
          WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PLANS FOR IT AT THIS TIME. 
          EITHER SOMETHING WILL OCCUR, SOMETHING, MAYBE WE'LL DEDICATE SOME SKILLMAN STREET, UM, FUNDING FROM IT. 
          DON'T KNOW YET. 
          IF NOTHING COMES UP AND THERE ARE NEEDS ELSEWHERE, WE COULD LOOK AT, WE CAN ANALYZE SHIFTING THOSE FINES, CREATING A NEW BUDGET LINE ITEM, SOMETHING THAT WORKS IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN, UM, THAT THAT IS USED ELSEWHERE. 
          AND SO FOR, FOR, FOR, FOR MY CLARITY, UM, THAT ALLOCATION, WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY ALLOCATED FOR AT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT AT THIS POINT, JUST BASED OFF OF DEVELOPER ACTIVITY AND ASKS OF THE TIFF HAVE NOT BEEN, HAS NOT EXCEEDED THAT AMOUNT. 
          SO THOSE FUNDS ARE JUST SITTING THERE. 
          IS THAT, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. 
          AND SO, AND THEN WE DO HAVE THE SPACE TO PULL FROM THERE. 
          WHAT DOES THAT PROCESS LOOK LIKE? UH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING BEFORE, THAT IT WOULD BE A PLAN AMENDMENT SHIFTING BUDGET CATEGORIES THAT WOULD COME THROUGH THE TIF BOARD AND THEN TO CITY COUNCIL. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES. 
          AND AGAIN, I, I DON'T, I WOULDN'T ADVISE PROACTIVELY DOING IT UNTIL WE KNOW WE DON'T WANNA THROW IT INTO A BUDGET CATEGORY OR, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE WE'RE GOING BY STATE LAW AND WHAT'S ALLOWED, BUT WE DON'T WANNA JUST KIND OF MAKE UP WHAT WE THINK WE WANNA SPEND IT ON. 
          WE'D RATHER KNOW SO THAT WE DON'T, LIKE WHEN WE DID THE LAST ONE, PUTTING IN THE WORDS PUBLIC FACILITIES, LIKE IF WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE WERE GONNA WORK ON A PUBLIC FACILITIES, WE PROBABLY WOULD'VE LEFT THOSE WORDS OUT AND THEN WE WOULD'VE HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. 
          SO IT'S BETTER TO KIND OF PROCRASTINATE A BIT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT AND THEN MAKE THOSE CHANGES. 
          UM, PAGE 20 AGAIN, IS MINORITY WOMEN BUSINESS PARTICIPATION. 
          ALL OF OUR DEVELOPER DRIVEN PROJECTS, IF WE'RE GONNA PARTICIPATE IN GAP FINANCING, HAS, UM, AN EXPECTATION, A GOAL OF MINORITY PARTICIPATION. 
          IT USED TO BE 25% FOR THE CONSTRUCTION COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT. 
          IT'S NOW 32%. 
          SOME OF OUR MORE RECENT PROJECTS THAT I'VE HAD IN OTHER TIF DISTRICTS, WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR, UH, 40% MINORITY WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS ON THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE. 
          PAGE 21 IS OUR WORK PLAN, BUT, UM, I KNOW ALL YOU GUYS ARE ANXIOUS TO DIG INTO. 
          UM, SO CONTINUING TO WORK ON SKILL MYSTERY CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN, UM, OTHER WALKABILITY AND VEHICULAR SAFETY ITEMS, PROMOTING DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE NEWLY ADDITIVE DISTRICT BOUNDARY IS LBJ EAST. 
          UM, I THINK I'M GONNA CHANGE THAT FROM CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES, BUT REALLY IS NEARING COMPLETION. 
          UM, JUST A LITTLE GLIMPSE ON THAT ONE. 
          UM, WHAT'S THAT? STILL RUNNING? I KNOW, I KNOW IT  STILL A YEAR. 
          IT'S STILL A YEAR AWAY. 
          YES. 
          UM, BUT WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, A YEAR KIND OF MOVES QUICKLY IN, IN THIS WORLD. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE KIND OF, YEARS AGO WE WERE KIND OF LOOKING AT THAT TEXTILE RIGHT OF WAY. 
          THEY'RE USING, UM, A LOT OF LAND FOR STAGING. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF TEXTILE LAND THAT COULD BECOME SURPLUS. 
          UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ALREADY STARTING TO REENGAGE ON. 
          UM, NOW THAT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE REALITY AND TECH STOCK CAN REALLY KIND OF TELL WHAT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO SELL OFF AS SURPLUS. 
          SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T DUG INTO. 
          BUT THE TIFF, UM, DOES ALLOW, AND THEY'RE IN THE BUDGET CATEGORY, I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER. 
          I MEAN, IT, IT SAYS SPECIFICALLY FOR, UM, FOR LAND ACQUISITION. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE ROAD, IF THERE IS TXDOT RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, SHOULD BE RFBP TO A MASTER DEVELOPER, WE DON'T KNOW. 
          WE'RE NOT THERE. 
          WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH THE LEGAL HURDLES OF THAT OR ANYTHING, BUT IT IS A POSSIBILITY TO, YOU KNOW, BACK TO MR. BLADES, YOU KNOW, TO KIND OF CONTROL THE DESTINY OF THAT DEVELOPMENT OF WHAT OCCURS ALONG THERE. 
          AGAIN, DON'T WANNA GET ANYONE OVEREXCITED THAT CURRENTLY OWNS 
          [01:15:01]
PROPERTY THERE BECAUSE NOTHING'S REALLY HAPPENED YET. 
          UM, BUT SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL KIND OF KEEP OUR EYE ON, UM, BECAUSE WE ARE, I THINK, ALL HOPEFUL THAT THAT CORRIDOR REALLY OVER THE NEXT MANY YEARS CAN GET REIMAGINED. 
          UM, AGAIN, WORKING WITH THE PARK DEPARTMENT, UM, ON THE FOREST ALIA PROJECT. 
          UM, AND UM, I THINK, OH, NOW I GET TO GO INTO THE FINANCIALS. 
          SO BEFORE YOU DO THAT, YES. 
          UH, ON PAGE 21 SURE. 
          BETWEEN LAST YEAR ANDARY, THERE WAS A LINE ITEM THAT WAS DROPPED THAT SAYS, CONTINUE WORK AND SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF THE LPJ SPILLMAN GATEWAY PLAN. 
          AND WE JUST HAD THE PRESENTATION ON THE GATEWAY PLAN. 
          AND SO I WAS THINKING, OKAY, WE PROBABLY STILL NEED TO KEEP THAT IN THE LIST. 
          I DUNNO IF THAT WAS ACCIDENTAL OR BY DESIGN OR THINKING. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          I, HAS IT BEEN ADDED BACK ? YES. 
          IT CAN EITHER BE MADE AS PART OF A MOTION OR YOU CAN TRUST ME TO ADD IT BACK IN. 
          I'LL DO THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SURE. 
          UM, AS FAR AS THE FINANCIALS, THIS IS WHAT'S REQUIRED BY STATE LAW. 
          UM, SO THIS TIP DISTRICT HAS $35 MILLION IN UNALLOCATED CASH ON HAND. 
          THAT IS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, USUALLY WE ARE DOING INCREMENTAL AND OWING DEVELOPERS OVER YEARS. 
          'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE CASH IN THIS CASE. 
          WE DO. 
          WHERE'S THAT LINE ON? IT'S NOT ON HERE. 
          EXACTLY. 
          I'LL TELL YOU HOW AND WHY. 
          YES. 
          AND YOU MIGHT BE ANSWERING THIS. 
          ARE THERE ANY DEVELOPERS ACTIVELY ENGAGED? I DO NOT HAVE ANY ACTIVE APPLICATIONS, NOR HAVE I TAKEN ANY MEETING RECENTLY WITH ANYONE INTERESTED. 
          HOW IS THIS TIFF BEING MARKETED TO THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITY? WE, UM, WE TYPICALLY ARE NOT VERY PROACTIVE DEVELOPERS. 
          NO. 
          I MEAN, WHEN I REACHED OUT, YOU HAD ME REACH OUT TO THE NORTHWEST HIGHWAY IN FERNDALE MM-HMM . 
          UM, THE ANSWER WAS YES, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S TWO FUNDING AVAILABLE, BUT NO THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO I, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S, UM, A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE THAT WE'RE HERE. 
          UM, WE TAKE CALLS ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW, FROM PEOPLE JUST STARTING LIKE, HEY, I WANNA MOVE TO DALLAS. 
          WHAT, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR A, TO DEVELOP THE X, Y, AND Z? AND WHERE SHOULD I GO? I MEAN, WE GET THOSE HUGE QUESTIONS VERSUS I'M A PROPERTY OWNER AT THIS CORNER AND I WANNA REDEVELOP OR DEVELOP. 
          SO I, YOU KNOW, WE, WE DO NOT MARKET OURSELVES VERY MUCH. 
          LIKE I SAID, WE'RE PRETTY REACTIVE TO DEVELOPERS, BUT WE'VE NEVER FOUND THAT, UM, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT US. 
          I THINK A LOT OF THE SITES ALONG THAT CORRIDOR, SLEEPY DEVELOPERS, SLEEPY OWNERS THAT ARE PROBABLY OUT OF TOWN MM-HMM . 
          UM, BULK MAJORITY OF THEM AREN'T LOCAL AND EITHER A, IT'S JUST PART OF A PORTFOLIO THAT RIGHT. 
          IT'S JUST ANOTHER NUMBER PORTFOLIO. 
          THEY DON'T KNOW FOR CARE. 
          IT'S JUST MAILBOX MONEY FOR SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. 
          SO THERE'S A FAMILY, IT'S JUST BEEN PASSED DOWN AND, AND THEY'RE NOT AWARE OF WHAT THEY COULD DO OR WHAT THE I THINK IT MIGHT, WE HAVE A LIST OF OWNERS. 
          WE DO, WE SOMEWHERE WE HAVE A, A BIG MAP THAT'S COLORED, RIGHT? I THINK WE DO IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WE DO TYPICALLY IN OUR PRIMARY CORRIDORS THAT WE'RE THINKING THROUGH. 
          AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A BIG MAP ON THIS ONE. 
          I'LL DOUBLE CHECK. 
          IF NOT, WE'LL HAVE IT MADE. 
          BUT, UM, SEE, YEAH. 
          BUT I, I, I BELIEVE THAT AS TXDOT IS WRAPPING UP AND WE FIGURE OUT SURPLUS, THEN, THEN AT THAT TIME, MAYBE WE, SOMEONE KNOCKS ON DOORS AND SAYS, I, I ACTUALLY, I DID GET A CALL FROM SOMEONE WHO'S ADJACENT TO SOME OF THAT TEXTILE RIGHT OF WAY THAT COULD BECOME SURPLUS. 
          AND IT WAS ONE THAT WE MAY NOT WANT THERE FOREVER. 
          AND SO I JUST SAID THANK YOU. 
          BUT MAY I SHARE WITH YOU THE LAND USE PLAN? WE ENVISION SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE DENSE AND MARKET CONDITIONS, 
          [01:20:08]
13 TO 20. 
          UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE THE TOWN CENTER KIND OF WENT THROUGH. 
          SO I THINK THE, THE MARKET CONDITIONS HAVE DICTATED INACTIVITY IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, BUT IT'S PROBABLY NOW IT'S TIME, UH, WITH THE CURRENT INTEREST RATES AND RETURN EXPECTATIONS THAT, UM, PRIVATE EQUITY IS EXPECTING, UM, HAS BEEN RECALIBRATED TO WHERE YOU MIGHT SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVITY IN THE NEXT, YOU KNOW, ONE TO THREE, FOUR YEARS. 
          I WOULD ADD TO THAT, UH, THERE ARE A COUPLE INSTANCES, UM, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE ZONING FOR, UH, FOR THE TIP DISTRICT WHERE YOU CAN DO MORE THAN WHAT YOU CAN CURRENTLY HAVE ON THE GROUND GROUND, BUT NOT A LOT. 
          SO IF YOU'RE, IF, IF, IF IT IS MAILBOX MONEY AND SOMEONE COMES TO YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN'T DO, YOU CAN'T GO BIGGER. 
          YOU CAN'T GO MORE IN A LOT OF THE LOCATIONS. 
          SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO REINVEST, IT'S GONNA TURN, YOU KNOW, CLASS C INTO CLASS B. 
          SURE. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, BUT THERE IS A IMPOSED CAP FROM THE ZONING ON A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA. 
          THAT'S BASICALLY SAYING FOR THE COMMERCIAL, IT'S GONNA BE COMMERCIAL OR FOR THE MULTIFAMILY IT'S GONNA BE TWO OR THREE STORES OF MULTIFAMILY. 
          AND, AND YOU CAN'T GO MORE THAN THAT. 
          UM, THERE'S A COUPLE INSTANCES, UM, I THINK THE EDISON APARTMENTS THAT ARE LIKE ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF SKILLMAN AND, UH, LJ YOU COULD GO MORE THERE. 
          MOST OF THE OTHER THINGS CAN'T RAISED WELL, YOU HAVE TO BE RAISED AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC PROCESS TO CHANGE THE ZONING TO KNOW MORE THAN THEY DO. 
          DOESN'T PLAN SPEED THAT PROCESS. 
          IT DOES, BUT IT STILL WOULD BE A PUBLIC, A PRIVATE, PRIVATE, IT'S A DEVELOPER DRIVEN PROCESS THAT WOULD BE A PUBLIC PROCESS FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS WHERE WE SAY, YES, THE PLAN SAYS IT'S APPROPRIATE, BUT EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN A PART OF A PUBLIC HEARING KNOWS THAT THE PLAN CAN SAY, OH YES, BUILD, YOU KNOW, AN EIGHT STORY TALL BUILDING HERE. 
          AND THEN WHEN A DEVELOPER SAYS, I'D LIKE TO BUILD AN EIGHT STORY BUILDING HERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PUBLIC DISCOURSE AND SOMETIMES THAT, THAT STOPS THAT PROCESS. 
          AND SO A DEVELOPER SAYS, I'M JUST GONNA KEEP MY MAILBOX MONEY INSTEAD OF TAKING THESE SLINGS AND ARROWS AND TRYING TO GO THROUGH THAT COVID PROCESS. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE THE, THE CITY, IF A COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER AND SAYS, WE WANT TO AS A CITY AND A COMMUNITY CHANGE THE ZONE TO ALLOW THIS, THEN THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT PROCESS. 
          SO I WANNA MAKE SURE WE STAY ON TOPIC ON THE ANNUAL REPORT. 
          I HEAR THAT. 
          AND SO I'M COMMITTED TO CONTINUING DIALOGUE WITH PLANNING WHOEVER YOU ARE NOW, THE DEPARTMENT CHANGES NAMES SO MANY TIMES URBAN DEVELOPMENT, UM, AND YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I DUNNO IF IT MAKES SENSE TO START PROACTIVELY LOOKING AT IT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING YOU CONSIDER AT LEAST TO EXPEDITE DEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, MS. WARREN, DID YOU HAVE YES, I DO HAVE, I DO HAVE A QUESTION DORSEY RELATED TO, UM, WHAT YOU MENTIONED A FEW MINUTES AGO REGARDING THE HISTORIC APPROACH OF THE TIF BOARD. 
          AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THAT IS SOMETHING IN TERMS OF BEING REACTIVE INSTEAD OF PROACTIVE, IS THAT THE APPROACH THAT THIS TIF BOARD WANTS TO TAKE FOR OUR FUNDS? AND IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS OPEN TO DISCUSSION? IT IS, BUT ACTUALLY I'D LIKE TO GET BACK TO THAT WHEN I DO MY PORTION. 
          PERFECT. 
          I'D LIKE TO COME BACK TO THAT. 
          WE'LL ADDRESS THAT THIS MORNING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WE, I'LL JUST SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 1996, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT IS, 20 HOWEVER MANY YEARS AND ALMOST EVERY YEAH. 
           28 YEARS OR WHATEVER, IT'S, AND WE, WE FIND SUCCESS WITH DEVELOPERS WHO WALK IN OUR DOOR AND WANT TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY. 
          SO, UM, YES, THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID TO, YOU KNOW, GETTING OUT THERE AND SHOWING YOUR VISION AND REMINDING PEOPLE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T FORCE PEOPLE TO HOLD HANDS WITH US, SO, ALL RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE FINANCIALS, IT DOESN'T EXACTLY SHOW THE CASH ON HAND. 
          AND NATALIA, TELL ME, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M MISSING HERE, BUT IT, IT GOES THROUGH THE 2024, YOU KNOW, EACH YEAR WE'RE COLLECTING INCREMENTS AND MAYBE SOME INTEREST INCOME AND WE'RE SPENDING, BUT IT'S NOT 
          [01:25:01]
AN ACCUMULATION. 
          SO THERE'S A SEPARATE, UM, KINDA UNALLOCATED CASH DOCUMENT THAT'S NOT IN HERE THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH WE'VE ACCRUED AND HOW MUCH WE'VE SPENT. 
          SO WE'VE ACCRUED, UM, THERE'S 37.2 MILLION IN CASH WITH 30, I'M SORRY, WITH 2 MILLION, UM, THAT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED BUT NOT GONE OUT THE DOOR YET. 
          SO THAT'S HOW IT'S RIGHT AROUND 35 MILLION. 
          SO YEAH, THAT'S THE TRICKY PART IS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT THESE ACCRUALS, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN, UM, HOPEFULLY PAGE 24, UM, WHICH SHOWS THE TIP INCREMENT SHOULD MATCH THE BODY OF THE DOCUMENT THAT WE ALREADY WENT THROUGH, THAT VALUE AND INCREMENT, UM, THAT SHOWS THE NEW ZONE B, WHICH ARE THOSE 19 PARCELS. 
          UM, ALONG HERE, AGAIN, ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS ARE IN PROCESS. 
          AND PAGE 26, I MENTIONED, AGAIN, WE HAVE THAT $1.66 MILLION, UM, BECAUSE WE HAVE CASH HANGING OUT. 
          UM, IF AND WHEN, MAYBE THE TERMS THAT WE EXPECT, UM, ALL OF OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS HAS A LOT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND WE DO ALL OF OUR CHECKLISTS AND HAVE EXPECTATIONS THAT THEY MEET THE MIXED INCOME HOUSING THAT THEY'RE DOING AND THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE OF. 
          YES. 
          AND THE PART OF THE CHALLENGE IS CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP. 
          SO WHO ARE THE MONEY YOU GOING TO AND WHO DO THEY STILL CARE? SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM. 
          UH, LUCKILY WE HAVE A MORE ROBUST COMPLIANCE TEAM NOW. 
          SO IT'S NOT ME OUT THERE SAYING, HEY, SO, UM, WE HAVE A TEAM DOING THIS WORK AND THEY, THEY ARE WORKING THROUGH IT. 
          IS THERE A DEADLINE? THERE IS NOT. 
          UM, SUE, WHO, YOU KNOW, HAD THIS FIFTH DISTRICT BEFORE ME, UM, THERE IS NOT, THERE'S NOT KIND DROP, UM, 2036. 
          YEAH. 
          , I WAS GONNA SAY, BUT YOU KNOW, IF, IF, IF WE BECOME SHORT OF CASH AT SOME POINT AND WE WANNA SPEND IT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE COULD MAKE PERHAPS WORK WITH THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND DOING AN OFFICIAL TERMINATION OUT, LACK OF COMPLIANCE. 
          I MEAN, IF, IF IT'S AN OFFICIAL DEFAULT NOW TO COMPLIANCE, WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN THERE BECAUSE WE'D RATHER GET THE AFFORDABILITY AND WE'D RATHER GET A RESPONSIBLE PARTY ON THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PART OF THOSE NON-STANDARD ITEMS. SO WE, WE, IT'S NOT REALLY BENEFICIAL AT THIS TIME TO REVOKE THAT AGREEMENT BECAUSE THEY WOULD PREFER THAT THEY, IS IT A BIG ISSUE OR IS IT A BUNCH OF LITTLE THINGS? I'M JUST, JUST TOO LITTLE. 
          YEAH, THEY, THEY ARE, THEY ARE. 
          I DON'T HAVE THE MOST CURRENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT BLOWING IT OFF. 
          THEY ARE. 
          THEY ARE. 
          THEY HAVE AFFORDABILITY IN THERE. 
          AND SO IF WE SAY WE'RE NEVER GIVING YOU YOUR MONEY, THEN IT BECOMES HUNDRED PERCENT MARKET RATE. 
          AND THAT'S NOT WHAT'RE FOR, THEY'RE WORKING TOWARDS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. 
          QUESTION. 
          I MEAN, Y'ALL CAN TELL. 
          MY WEAKNESS HERE IS I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE PUBLIC NITTY PROCESS HERE, BUT WE'RE AT 10 30 AND YOU HAD AN HOUR AND A HALF FOR THIS MEETING. 
          SO DO WE NEED TO DO ANYTHING OFFICIAL TIME? NO. 
          MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND THIS. 
          RECOMMEND THE, THE ANNUAL REPORT. 
          UH, WERE YOU FINISHED WITH THE LAST PAGE? I'M VERY FINISHED. 
          I'M SURE YOU ARE VERY READY FOR ME TO BE FINISHED. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AN EXCELLENT OVERVIEW. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT THIS. 
          LOUIS, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO FORWARD THIS TO COUNCIL SECOND, THIS REPORTED SECOND. 
          AND, AND JUST TO CONFIRM THAT MOTION ENCAPSULATES THE CHANGES THAT DO C'S GONNA MAKE. 
          YES. 
          SUBJECT TO MINOR EDITS. 
          MINOR EDITS, YES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT TO FLOYD. 
          ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AGENDA NUMBER EIGHT IS REVIEW THE SKILLMAN 
          [01:30:01]
CORRIDOR STREET MASTER PLAN. 
          THIS IS BY OUR CHAIRS. 
          YOU WANNA TAKE IT AWAY? YES, MA'AM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, DID YOU HAVE THE, UH, DOCUMENTS FOR THE SCREEN? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED IT. 
          DO YOU WANT THAT PULLED UP? ELIANA, ARE YOU ABLE TO PULL UP THAT DOCUMENT ON FROM AGENDA ITEM EIGHT? I THINK IT'S TITLED BACKGROUNDER. 
          YES, IT WOULD BE AFTER THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          PROBABLY NOT THAT . 
          OH, UH, YEP. 
          I'M NOT GONNA GO THROUGH THIS IN DETAIL, BUT THIS DOES REFERENCE, UM, THE PRESENTATION THAT WE HAD BY KIMBERLY WARREN, UM, IS SPONSORED BY THE LAKE HIGHLANDS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IN NOVEMBER A YEAR AGO. 
          UH, WE NOW HAVE TWO NEW BOARD MEMBERS THAT MISS THAT, UH, REVIEW. 
          REVIEW. 
          SO THIS ONE PAGE BACKGROUNDER KIND OF SUMMARIZES  EVERYTHING IN THAT HUGE DOCUMENT. 
          UM, I WAS WONDERING, DORSEY, WERE YOU ABLE TO GET THAT UPLOADED TO THE, UM, MINUTES THAT THE CITY HAS ONLINE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN REFERENCE THAT DOCUMENT? BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE QUITE A BIT OF DETAIL. 
          UM, I PUSHED IT OVER FOR A REQUEST, BUT I DIDN'T FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF IT'S BEEN UPLOADED. 
          I'LL MAKE A NOTE. 
          SURE. 
          THAT, THAT HAPPENED. 
          SO IT WAS THE, IT WAS THE NOVEMBER 8TH MEETING OF 2023. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, BUT BASICALLY WHAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT WHAT'S IN THIS DOCUMENT IS, UM, PROBABLY THE FIRST PART IN SUMMARY TALKS ABOUT THE HISTORY AND THE FACT THAT THIS, THE SKILLMAN CORRIDOR STREET SCAPE ITEM IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ON THE, UH, IN THE MINDS OF, OF THE COMMUNITY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, UM, OF THE, AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. 
          AND SOME OF THE WORK BEGAN WAY BACK THEN, AND I'M LOOKING FOR MY COPY OF IT RIGHT NOW, . 
          UM, SO, UH, IT, I MEAN, IT EVEN GOES BACK TO THE EARLY PLANNING DAYS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN IN DISTRICT 10 AS WELL AS FORWARD DALLAS, UM, WHEN THERE WAS A MAJOR SHIFT OF THE, WHAT WAS CONSIDERED THE FOCAL POINT OF LAKE HIGHLANDS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, MANY YEARS AGO IT STARTED AS OLD LAKE HIGHLANDS DOWN CLOSE TO WHITE ROCK LAKE. 
          IT KIND OF MOVED TO CLOSER TO THE HIGH SCHOOL WITH, UH, THEN KINGSLEY AND ELIA. 
          AND IN 2006, WHEN THE TIFF GOT ON BOARD, IT DEFINITELY MADE A GREAT SHIFT TO MAKING SKILLMAN THE MAIN STREET OF DISTRICT 10 AND LAKE ISLANDS. 
          UM, AND THEN WE FOCUSED OUR EFFORTS ON THE TOWN CENTER. 
          THE TIP WAS PUT IN PLACE, THE P WAS PUT IN PLACE. 
          AND THROUGHOUT THOSE DOCUMENTS, THE, THE STARTING DOCUMENTS IN, IN BOTH ORGANIZATIONS, YOU SEE THAT THE STILL BORDER IS MEANT TO BE BUILT OUT AS MAIN STREET. 
          SO HISTORICALLY, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE AT THE TOWN CENTER. 
          UM, THE BRIDGE, UH, AT LBJ, UM, AND THE SKILL STREET MASTER PLANS FINALLY PUT IN PLACE TAKING CONSIDERATION OF THE LITTLE BITTY WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE ALONG THE WAY. 
          THE OTHER IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THIS, UH, YOU KNOW, IN THE MIDDLE SECTION, IT KIND OF SUMMARIZES WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PLAN. 
          AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO BACK AND KIND OF REFRESH BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE, SINCE WE'VE LOOKED AT IT, BUT NOW WE'RE BRINGING SOME OF THESE THINGS ONLINE. 
          I THINK IT'S GONNA BE IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND IT A LITTLE BETTER AND COMMUNICATE ABOUT IT. 
          BUT THE, THE MORE IMPORTANT THING ON THIS PAGE IS THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. 
          AND KELLY WARREN DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF PUTTING IN FRONT OF US. 
          YOU KNOW, THIS IS A HUGE EFFORT. 
          IT'S FOUR MILES. 
          UM, HOW DO YOU IMPLEMENT, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE THING. 
          YOU, YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO IT ALL AT ONCE. 
          YOU'RE GONNA MAKE LITTLE GAINS AS YOU HAVE PROJECTS COME AVAILABLE, AS YOU HAVE PARTNERS JOIN YOU TO DO, UH, CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF IT. 
          SO THERE'S SOME GUIDING GOALS OF IMPLEMENTATION. 
          YOU WANNA ACCEPT PROJECTS THAT PROVIDE VISUAL IMPACT. 
          UM, ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT THEY CALLED OUT BY EXAMPLE WAS DOING MEDIANS. 
          IF YOU DO A STRING OF MEDIANS IN A ROW, THEN YOU GET VISUALLY THE IMPACT THAT YOU ARE MAKING PROGRESS. 
          UM, CONTINUITY IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO THINK ABOUT. 
          FOUR MILES IS A LONG WAY. 
          AND IF YOU PUT IN A TREE HERE AND A TREE THERE, THEY GROW AT DIFFERENT RATES AND IT'S GONNA LOOK A LITTLE WONKY. 
          SO YOU WANNA MAKE SURE THAT AS YOU IMPLEMENT, YOU WANNA CHOOSE PROJECTS AND THINGS THAT WOULD 
          [01:35:01]
GIVE YOU SOME CONTINUITY THROUGH THE, THE DISTRICT. 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY FOOT WINDS, FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY, WE'RE LEVERAGING EVERY DOLLAR WE CAN FIND THAT ANY PARTNER WILL COME ALONG AND GIVE TO US, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IN A MINUTE. 
          UM, AND THEN LEVERAGING OTHER INVESTMENTS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD. 
          THE, UH, THE NEXT PAGE SHOWS HOW THE PLAN IS BROKEN UP INTO FOUR SECTIONS. 
          WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT ZONES ONE, ZONES TWO, ZONES THREE, AND ZONES FOUR. 
          UM, YOU CAN PROBABLY QUICKLY, UH, DIGEST THESE. 
          UM, IT, IT, BUT ACTUALLY WE GO BACK SOMETIMES AND WAIT, WHAT'S THE ENDO ZONE ONE AND WHERE ZONE TWO START? SO THESE ARE, THIS IS, UH, KIND OF CONVERSATION THAT, THAT WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO. 
          SO IT MIGHT BE WORTH YOUR WHILE TO GET FAMILIAR WITH THE TERMINOLOGY THERE AND WHAT'S WITHIN THOSE ZONES. 
          CALLING OUT THINGS LIKE, UM, THE MAJOR NODES OR GATEWAY POINTS, UH, THINGS THAT WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, LIKE THE BRIDGES, THE, UH, TRAIL CROSSINGS AND THE LIKE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT PAGE IS WHAT I REALLY WANNA TALK ABOUT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THAT IS, SO WHERE ARE WE WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SKILL AND TOWARD, UH, STREETSCAPE PLAN? AND I'VE BROKEN THIS UP INTO TWO SECTIONS, WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON PRIOR THAN WHAT'S, WHAT'S CURRENTLY IN WORK, RECOGNIZING THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS GOES WAY BACK TO WHEN THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FIRST STARTED. 
          THEY STARTED ON THE FIRST MEDIAN ENHANCEMENTS THERE AT CHURCH ROAD. 
          AND THAT STUFF'S STILL ALIVE. 
          IT'S STILL BEING MAINTAINED TODAY. 
          UM, THE SECOND MAJOR THING WAS THE SIGNAGE AT THE ABRAM GATEWAY. 
          UM, AND A LOT OF THAT DESIGN WORK WAS DONE KNOWING THAT WE WERE GONNA BE MOVING FORWARD WITH A FULL PORT OR LANDSCAPES STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN. 
          UM, SO THOSE DESIGN COMPONENTS, THEY CALLED IT A KIT OF PARTS AT THE TIME, UH, WAS BUILT WITH A KIT OF PARTS THAT WE COULD USE  THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FOUR MILES AND, AND, UH, GET SOME CONTINUITY THERE. 
          UM, THE MASTER PLAN WAS COMPLETED. 
          AND, AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE LIST HERE, THE PARTNERS THAT WE HAVE HAD THAT HAVE HELPED FUNDED THESE THINGS. 
          I WANNA, UH, RECOGNIZE, UH, LUIS AND THE COUNTY, YOU'LL, YOU'LL NOTICE HERE, THERE'S THE COUNTY IS LISTED SEVERAL TIMES AND WE APPRECIATE THE COUNTY BEING A PARTNER IN SOME OF THESE PROJECTS. 
          SPECIFICALLY THE ABRAMS GATEWAY WAS A BIG ONE. 
          UM, AND THEN WHAT ELSE? OKAY. 
          THE, THE LAKE HIGHLANDS TRAIL CROSSING, THIS ONE'S NEAR AND DEAR TO CORD BECAUSE IT'S IN HER BACKYARD. 
          MM-HMM. 
          UM, 2017 BOND FUNDS, UM, HELPED DEVELOP SOME OF THE TRAIL CONNECTIONS THROUGH THERE. 
          HOWEVER, THEY LEFT A GAP AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          MY ATTENTION, IT'S ALREADY IN SOME DISCUSSION. 
          WHERE'S THE GAP? THE GAP IS , UH, CHURCH ROAD. 
          IF YOU LOOK ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CHURCH AND SKILLMAN MM-HMM . 
          YOU'LL SEE THE WORK THAT THEY DID TO TRY TO PUT SOME BARRIERS AND, AND MAKE THE TWO WAY TRAILER GOES INTERSECTION. 
          IT'S NOT SAFE. 
          NO, IT'S NOT. 
          WHERE THE PEUS IS OVER THERE BY ROCK TRAIL. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IF HE'S TRYING TO CROSS GILMAN FROM THE ONE BUS CORNER OVER TO THE, WHERE THE TRAIL CONNECTS AND THEN GOES DOWN TO THE TOWN CENTER, YOU CAN'T THROUGH THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S OKAY. 
          SO WE RECOGNIZE WE HAVE A GAP THERE AND WE NEED TO FILL IT. 
          UM, THE, UH, SKILLMAN BRIDGE, UH, AND I, I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A  REPRESENTATIVE WITH US TODAY, BUT I WANNA GIVE A SHOUT TO THEM. 
          THEY HAVE BEEN AN EXCELLENT PARTNER TO WORK WITH AND, UH, WE STARTED WITH THEM BACK IN 2017, GIVING THEM THE STREETSCAPE, THE HARDSCAPE THAT YOU'VE SEEN. 
          SOME OF IT COME ONLINE NOW, THE COLORS THAT ARE IN THIS, UH, THE CROSSWALKS. 
          UM, AND MOST RECENTLY THEY, UH, INCLUDED SOME ENHANCEMENTS TO THE SIDEWALKS AND THEY MADE THEM A LITTLE LARGER FOR US BASED ON THE CHANGING OF THE, THE PLANS THAT WE HAD IN PLACE. 
          SO ALL OF THAT WOULD BE OPENING UP, HOPEFULLY HERE. 
          THEY SAID END OF 24 NOW IT LOOKS LIKE FEBRUARY, MAYBE IT'LL BE MARCH , UM, , BUT THAT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU SAY, NEAR COMPLETION. 
          UM, SO LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT, WHAT'S CURRENTLY BEING DISCUSSED, 
          [01:40:01]
WHAT PORTIONS WE'RE WORKING ON. 
          THERE WAS, UH, 2017 BOND FUNDS FOR THE BRIDGE ITSELF TO LIGHT IT UP. 
          UM, AND THAT IS CURRENTLY IN WORK. 
          AND WE'LL SEE WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THAT, UM, WHEN THEY BRING IT ONLINE. 
          UM, THE NEXT ONE, IT WAS ALSO 2017 BOND FUNDS. 
          IT STARTED WITH 1.2 MILLION IN THE BOND, BUT OUR, UH, TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR HERE IN THE CITY WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY AND KIND OF EXPAND THAT A LITTLE BIT, UH, FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AT THE WALNUT HILL INTERSECTION. 
          UM, A LOT OF THAT HAS GONE INTO SIGNALS, BUT UH, SOME OF THAT IS GOING TO GO INTO THE STREETSCAPE ITSELF AND THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IS, UH, HELPING TO ACCELERATE THAT BY, UH, ADDING SOME FUNDS, UM, TO GET THE DESIGN WORK DONE THEY HAD WHEN WE MIGHT HAVE HAD IT DONE OTHERWISE. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF DESIGN WORK BEING DONE AS WE SPEAK AT MILL AT WALNUT HILL AND STILLMAN. 
          UM, WE HAVE, IN ADDITION TO THAT 5 MILLION COMING FROM THE 2024 BOND. 
          AND AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, THAT MONEY'S TO BE USED TO KIND OF GENERATE PARTNERSHIPS FOR FUTURE. 
          WE ASKED FOR 20 MILLION, BUT ALL WE GOT OUT OF IT WAS FIVE . 
          UM, AND SO THAT WAS DESIGNATED TO USE AS A CATALYST TO GO FIND FUNDING ELSEWHERE TO ENHANCE SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS ALONG THE STREETS. 
          UH, THE WHOLE CORRIDOR. 
          AND THEN OUR MOST RECENT, UM, FUNDING THAT WE'VE RECEIVED, AND THIS IS UH, KIND OF A NEAT DEAL, IS TDOT HAS A GREAT PROGRAM WHERE THEY SET ASIDE FUNDS, UH, FOR EVERY MAJOR PROJECT. 
          AND, UH, YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT WORKED WITH, UM, THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND WE, UH, WERE AWARDED THIS LAST, LATE LAST SUMMER OF 1.8 MILLION FOR LANDSCAPE ALONG THE LBJ PORT. 
          PART OF THAT, UM, INCLUDES THE BRIDGE AREA, WHICH IS STILL QUARTER. 
          SO, UH, ACTUALLY MOST OF THOSE FUNDS ARE GONNA GO INTO THE, UH, ADJACENT INTERSECTIONS AT ABRAMS ON THE WEST AND ROYAL ON THE EAST. 
          UM, BUT A PORTION OF IT WILL, UM, HELP US WITH THE LANDSCAPING AT THE BRIDGE. 
          SO JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW WHERE WE WERE IN THE FUNDING CYCLE FOR THIS. 
          AND WE HAVE MATCHING FUNDS FOR ANY OF THESE, OR IS IT ALL, WELL, WHEN I CALL OUT ORGANIZATION, WHEN I CALL OUT THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT, THAT'S BASICALLY MATCHING FUNDS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE POOLING THEM. 
          THAT'S MONEY TOGETHER, MONEY COMING IN, CORRECT. 
          FOR THESE PROJECTS MM-HMM . 
          FOR THE BOND PROGRAM. 
          WHAT ABOUT FROM THE TIFF? WELL, OKAY, YOU CAN SEE IN THE PAST THE TIFF HAS PARTICIPATED, UH, AT THE ABRAMS GATEWAY MM-HMM . 
          UM, THERE WAS A PRESENTATION MADE AND THE TIFF OFFERED MONEY TO POOL TOGETHER IN THOSE, UM, OKAY. 
          IN THAT PROJECT. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, UM, TO DEVELOP THE MASTER PLAN ITSELF, THE T BELT FUNDED THE, UH, THE ITEM, THE LINE ITEMS FOR UNDER APPROVED GETTING WORK. 
          ARE THERE ANY TIF FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE? NOT YET. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND THAT BRINGS ME TO THE CLOSING OF ALL OF THIS. 
          AND THAT IS, I WANNA THANK EACH OF YOU FOR, UM, DURING A BUSY YEAR END AND, AND, UH, HOLIDAY SEASON. 
          AND I'VE LISTENED TO EACH ONE OF YOU TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE TIFF. 
          AND I THINK ALMOST ACROSS THE BOARD, I'VE HEARD EVERYONE SAY, YEAH, WE WOULD LIKE TO MEET MORE OFTEN ONCE A YEAR ISN'T DOING IT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND YES, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE MORE PROACTIVE THAT WE, AND TO YOUR POINT, UM, THE DEVELOPERS ARE COMING AND WHETHER THEY'RE NOT COMING OR THEY'RE DEVELOPERS, , YOU KNOW, AND HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE GO AHEAD AND EXECUTE WHAT WE WANT? SO, UM, I'VE KIND OF PUT THIS, I WANTED TO PUT THIS IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY AS A BACKDROP TO SAY, UM, I THINK WE'D LIKE TO SPEND THE NEXT YEAR WORKING, UH, TO MS. WARREN'S POINT, BE MORE PROACTIVE. 
          UH, HOW DO WE DO THAT? UH, I'M GONNA WORK WITH, UH, MS. CLARK, AND WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT'S, UH, AND HOW WE MIGHT GO BACK. 
          UH, ONE OF THE INITIAL THINGS, WE DIDN'T CALL IT OUT IN THE, THE ANNUAL REPORT, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING DONE IN 2009 
          [01:45:01]
CALLED SKILL AND CHIP, UH, STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. 
          I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO RESURRECT THAT DOCUMENT. 
          UM, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR CITY MECHANISM IS FOR PASSING THAT AROUND, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT IN EVERYBODY'S HANDS AND I WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY TO REVIEW IT. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WILL COME BACK TOGETHER SUBCOMMITTEE OR, OR MAYBE JUST AT OUR NEXT MEETING. 
          BUT I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH THAT DOCUMENT AND SEE HOW WE ARE DOING ON OUR STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE SUNSET OF THIS. 
          UM, ANYTHING ELSE I WANTED TO SAY? ? I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS THAT I ANSWER? OH, I, THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO ADD TO THAT. 
          SO, UH, YES, THE CITY TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, UH, IS WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER, STEWART AND LAKE HIGHLANDS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. 
          AND THEY WILL BE MAKING A REQUEST, UH, TO MOVE FORWARD ON SOME OF THE, THESE LINE ITEMS. UM, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN COMBINE THAT TOGETHER IN THE NEXT MEETING. 
          UH, LISTEN TO WHAT THEY HAVE PUT IN FRONT OF US AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE LONG RANGE. 
          THAT SOUND LIKE A PLAN. 
          SO THE NEXT SERIES OF MEETINGS WOULD BE FOCUSED ON ALLOCATION OF FUNDING PROJECTS. 
          OKAY. 
          IDENTIFYING THIS THEN. 
          OKAY. 
          TAKING MORE CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT WE, TALKING STRATEGICALLY ABOUT WHAT WE SHOULD DO. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THEN MORE SPECIFICALLY THE PROJECTS WE HAVE AND WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THAT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE READY FOR AGENDA. 
          ITEM NUMBER NINE IS A QUARTER MEETING SCHEDULE. 
          AND I JUST WENT WITH SAME TIME FRIDAYS EVERY QUARTER. 
          UM, THERE'S A NOTE ON THE BOTTOM THAT YOU GUYS PROBABLY DO NOT APPRECIATE, BUT THAT'S ALL OF OUR QUARTERLY, UM, MEETING SCHEDULES. 
          IT SAYS THAT MEETINGS WILL ONLY BE HELD IF THERE'S ACTION ITEMS TO CONSIDER. 
          SO IF THERE'S ACTUAL DEDICATION REQUESTS, ANNUAL ITEM, BUT I HEAR YOU. 
          OTHERWISE WELL, WE'LL, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          LIKE I SAID,  THERE, THERE WE GO. 
          THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR. 
          . 
          SO, UM, TYPICALLY I WILL NOT PUT THESE FOUR MEETINGS ON YOUR CALENDARS. 
          UM, THESE WOULD BE, WOULD BE CONSIDERED REGULAR MEETINGS. 
          WE CAN ALWAYS CALL SPECIAL MEETINGS. 
          IT'S NO DIFFERENT OF A PROCESS TO SCHEDULE AND GET POSTED WITH THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE. 
          SO IF SOMETHING COMES UP THEN WE NEED TO MEET IN MAY OR IN FEBRUARY WE CAN DO THAT. 
          BUT THIS IS JUST GUIDANCE, UM, BECAUSE WE WERE ASKED TO KEEP A NICE TIDY CALENDAR. 
          HERE IS WHAT I SUGGEST, AND THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM ON THE AGENDA. 
          SO ANYONE, ANYONE HAS COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, CONCERNS OR OTHERWISE, DO WE NEED A MOTION TO ACCEPT THIS? WE DO. 
          OKAY. 
          OR WHAT IS IT CALLED TO ACTUALLY APPROVE IT? OKAY. 
          THOSE APPROVED. 
          I'M TO APPROVE THE 2025 QUARTERLY, UH, BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE. 
          ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. 
          WITH THAT MR. CHAIR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADJOURN US WITH THE TIME? I KNOW WHAT TIME? IT'S BECAUSE MY WATCH JUST BEEPED AT ME TO MOVE. 
          AJOUR. 
          AUR. 
          THANK YOU ALL.
