AGENDA ITEM FOR. AGENDA ITEM FOUR. AUTHORIZED SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT.

NUMBER ONE TO THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES CONTRACT WITH BROWN AND ROOT INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, LLC.

PHOENIX ONE RESTORATION AND CONSTRUCTION, LLC.

R S COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION, LLC. GILBERT MEY, INC., DBA PHILLIPS MAY CORPORATION.

ADEPT. FACILITIES AND DESIGN, AND BIG SKY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC.

FOR JOB ORDER CONTRACTING SERVICES AT THE KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON CONVENTION CENTER, DALLAS.

EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON, UNION STATION, REUNION PARKING GARAGE AND OTHER CITY FACILITIES NOT TO EXCEED $1,750,000 FROM $7 MILLION TO $8,750,000. THIS ITEM WAS CORRECTED AND IT WAS PULLED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MENDELSOHN.

IS THERE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL? ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

CHAIRMAN MENZEL, YOU PULLED IT, SO YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES IF YOU'D LIKE IT. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES. THANK YOU. WELL, I PULLED THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT'S ADDING $1.7575 MILLION TO A CONTRACT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVENTION CENTER.

IT ALSO DOES WORK FOR EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON UNION STATION, AS WELL AS A REUNION PARKING GARAGE.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS I CAN NO LONGER VOTE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE CONVENTION CENTER, BECAUSE I CAN'T SEEM TO GET AN ANSWER ON WHAT THE BUDGET IS.

[01:05:01]

I SENT A MEMO THAT WAS RECEIVED BY THE CITY SECRETARY JANUARY 29TH WITH A SERIES OF FINANCIAL QUESTIONS, AND I GUESS IT'S JUST BEEN IGNORED. AND SO FOR THAT REASON, EVERY ITEM THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVENTION CENTER, I INTEND TO PULL AND I INTEND TO REPEAT THE FACT THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE PAYING FOR A CONVENTION CENTER, OF WHICH WE HAVE NO PUBLISHED BUDGET. WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT.

WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF WORDS, BUT THE THINGS THAT I SPECIFICALLY HAVE ASKED FOR INCLUDE THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, WHAT IS IT REALLY GOING TO COST US? AND BY THAT I MEAN IN ALL IN CAPITAL COST, I ASKED FOR AN ITEMIZED BUDGET OF DIRECT PROJECT COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION, MEANING BASE PLUS ESCALATION, DESIGN, ENGINEERING, OWNER'S REP, INSURANCE, BONDING, COMMISSION FIXTURES, FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT, PUBLIC ART PERMITTING AND INSPECTION.

I ASKED FOR THIS TO INCLUDE INDIRECT COSTS OF ALL LAND ACQUISITION, SITE PREP, DEMOLITION, UTILITY RELOCATION, STREET PEDESTRIAN TRANSIT CLOSURE AND OPENING COSTS, PARKING, ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND FINANCE COSTS.

I ASKED, WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS TO SHOW US AN ITEMIZED LIST OF WHICH COSTS COME FROM TAXPAYER SOURCES AND THE AMOUNTS BY PUTTING THEM IN THREE SPECIFIC BUCKETS DIRECT TAXPAYER REVENUE, DEDICATED TAX REVENUE, AND ADDITIONAL SOURCES.

I WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE LIST. YOU CAN FIND THIS MEMO ON THE CITY SECRETARY'S WEBSITE.

I ASKED ABOUT THE FINANCIAL RISKS, INCLUDING ESCALATION ASSUMPTIONS, CONTINGENCY SIZE AND WHO CONTROLS IT.

CHANGE ORDER AUTHORIZATION AND AUTHORITY SCOPE.

CREEP CONTROLS, CONVENTION DEMAND ASSUMPTIONS, HOTEL ROOM NIGHT CAPTURE ASSUMPTIONS, EXPECTED MAINTENANCE COSTS, AND MAJOR SYSTEM REPLACEMENT ACCRUALS. SEEMS IRONIC TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BOOKINGS ARE 20% LOWER THAN PROJECTED FOR FIVE CONSECUTIVE YEARS? IF PLEDGED, REVENUE IS LOWER THAN EXPECTED, AND WHAT FUNDS ARE USED TO PAY DEBT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.

I ASKED WHAT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE THE PROJECT WAS FIRST APPROVED.

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND VALUE ENGINEERING. I WANTED TO SEE THE VALUE ENGINEERING LOG, THE SCOPE TRADE OFF HISTORY SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT GOT ADDED AND CUT AND WHY, AND ALSO A SCHEDULE, A CASH FLOW SCHEDULE OF WHEN THE FUNDING WILL BE NEEDED.

SO FOR THAT, I'LL BE VOTING NO. AND TRULY, OUR RESIDENTS DESERVE MUCH MORE TRANSPARENCY THAN WHAT WE'VE RECEIVED.

THANK YOU. IF I MAY RESPOND. YOU SURE MAY. THANK YOU SIR.

JACK IRELAND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER I JUST WANT TO CORRECT SOMETHING THAT WAS SAID THAT A RESPONSE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WE MAY NOT HAVE PROVIDED A RESPONSE TO EVERY SINGLE THING YOU JUST READ, BUT WE RECEIVED YOUR MEMO ON JANUARY 29TH.

MR. TOLBERT REPLIED TO YOU BY MEMO ON FEBRUARY 2ND, STATING THAT WE WOULD RESPOND AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ON MARCH THE 24TH.

WE PROVIDED A PRESENTATION TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ON MARCH THE 24TH.

IT IS ALSO ONLINE THAT ADDRESSES MANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS THAT MAY NOT HAVE ADDRESSED ALL OF THEM.

IT DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL OF THEM. THANK YOU. BUT IT DID ADDRESS SEVERAL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED THAT WE DID RESPOND TO YOUR MEMO.

WE DID PREPARE AND PROVIDE THE PRESENTATION TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE THEN.

SO I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE SATISFIED WITH THE PRESENTATION.

WELL, I GUESS WITH THE REST OF MY TIME, I'LL SAY I'M NOT SATISFIED. I ACTUALLY WANTED THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS I ASKED. AND THE SAME THING ABOUT THE PENSION MEMO. SO THANK YOU FOR THE RESPONSE OF A PENSION MEMO, BUT IT DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT I POSED.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT THAT IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT WE DID NOT ANSWER.

COUNCILWOMAN MENDELSOHN. WE WILL WORK TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS AND THEN OFFER TO MEET WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE'S FEEDBACK ON ANY OF THE RESPONSES THAT WE CAN RECEIVE THAT FROM YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIRMAN RIDLEY.

YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES. THANK YOU MAYOR.

SO WHAT IS THE BUDGET FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER? ROSA FLEMING, DIRECTOR OF CONVENTION AND EVENT SERVICES.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. SO WE BRIEFED THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO COUNCIL AND TO COMMITTEE.

IT IS 3.080. THE NUMBER HAS A BILLION. THAT NUMBER HAS NOT MOVED.

THAT IS THE CONSTRUCTION COST. THE SOFT COSTS ARE 262 MILLION.

WE EXPLAINED IN THAT BRIEFING THAT OUR CFO JUST REFERRED TO, WHERE WE ITEMIZED, HOW THAT CAME FROM OUR CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION FUND AT THE CONVENTION CENTER AS WE MANAGED OUR OPERATING BUDGET AND OUR CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION BUDGET BEFORE WE TOOK OUT ANY DEBT.

SO ARE THOSE. IS THAT A G MAX NUMBER? THAT IS.

[01:10:02]

SO THAT NUMBER IS FIXED. IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE EXCEPT BY CHANGE ORDER.

IT WOULD CHANGE BY CHANGE ORDER OR IF SOMETHING.

AND WE DID IN THAT PRESENTATION, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER.

AND WE CAN PROVIDE THAT AGAIN, WE PROVIDED THE CONTINGENCIES, THE THINGS THAT COULD CHANGE THAT COULD IMPACT COST, INCLUDING TARIFFS, INCLUDING CHANGES IN THE MARKET, SOME VOLATILITY IN THE LOCAL MARKET, ETC..

SO WE CAN PROVIDE THAT TO YOU AS WELL. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT HOW SOME OF THE STAKEHOLDER INTERACTIONS WITH UNION PACIFIC, TEX-DOT, ETC. COULD HAVE SOME IMPACT ON COSTS.

THOSE HAVE NOT HAPPENED YET, BUT WE WOULD COME TO COUNCIL BEFORE WE MADE ANY ADJUSTMENT ON THOSE COSTS AND OBVIOUSLY BRIEF THAT.

WHAT IS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT? NUMBER ONE. FOR THE JOB ORDER, CONTRACTING IS A MECHANISM THAT WE USE IN MOST OF THE CAPITAL AND CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE CITY, AND IT ALLOWS US THE FLEXIBILITY OF GETTING SOME PRICING AHEAD OF TIME FOR VENDORS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES LIKE HVAC OR FLOOR REPAIR, ELEVATOR REPAIR, ESCALATOR REPAIR, ETC.

TO KEEP A BUILDING GOING WITHOUT US HAVING TO COME OUT EVERY TIME AND, AND REBID EVERYTHING.

AND SO WE'VE ON OURS, WE HAVE SIX VENDORS THAT WE APPROVED.

AND SO WE'RE ADDING CAPACITY TO THE CONTRACT BECAUSE WE WILL BE KEEPING POST FOR A, B AND C OPEN TO CONTINUE SERVICING CLIENTS UNTIL LATE 2028 OR EARLY 2029.

WILL COME BACK WITH THAT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE ARE TAKING THAT DOWN.

WE DO HAVE CURRENTLY BOOKED CUSTOMERS, AND SO WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND QUICKLY IF THERE'S AN HVAC PROBLEM QUICKLY, IF THERE'S AN ESCALATOR ELEVATOR PROBLEM, AND THIS ALLOWS US TO DO THAT.

WE ALSO PROVIDE SOME OF OUR CAPACITY TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS NECESSARY.

IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT'S NEEDED THAT'S NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY BASIS, OR THEY NEED SOMETHING DONE QUICKLY, AND THEN THEY'RE ABLE TO TAP OUR JOB ORDER CONTRACT AS WELL.

SO THIS IS NOT A FIXED PRICE CONTRACT. THIS IS JUST TO AUTHORIZE UP TO THIS AMOUNT TO USE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING THE CONVENTION CENTER AND THE OTHER BUILDINGS IF REPAIRS BECOME NECESSARY.

CORRECT. SO I'LL GIVE YOU A GREAT EXAMPLE. A LOT OF TIMES AT EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON UNION STATION WILL HAVE EITHER PLUMBING PROBLEMS THAT WILL COME UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AND WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE ONE OF OUR JOB ORDER CONTRACTORS COME OUT AND FIX IT BEFORE THE MORNING OR WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF.

IT'S AN OLDER BUILDING WITH A LOT OF A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH DOORS, ETC.

SO WE'LL HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN COME OUT AND RESPOND SUPER QUICK TO GET THOSE REPAIRED.

ARE THERE SPECIFIC EXPENSES THAT YOU'RE OR ITEMS OF REPAIR THAT YOU'RE ANTICIPATING COMING UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR WHICH YOU NEED THIS INCREASED FUNDING? SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE THAT MAY COME UP IS THAT CONTINUED PLUMBING PROBLEM AT UNION STATION, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT'S CAUSED BY, BY PEOPLE USAGE, RIGHT? RATHER THAN SOMETHING THAT'S SYSTEMICALLY WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'LL KNOW WE'LL HAVE TO RESPOND TO FREQUENTLY INSIDE THE CONVENTION CENTER BECAUSE WE ARE DISCONNECTING FROM THE OTHER PORTION OF THE BUILDING.

THERE MAY BE SOME HVAC THINGS THAT WE'LL NEED TO RESPOND TO QUICKLY.

IN THE CASE OF THE IBC BEING IN THE BUILDING RIGHT NOW.

IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF OUTAGE OF ANYTHING, WE'LL NEED TO RESPOND BY CONTRACT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

AND THIS IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO DO THAT. THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON FOR OR AGAINST AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? NO. THE EYES HAVE IT. NEXT ITEM. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. WE WILL NOW MOVE TO YOUR ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION, BEGINNING WITH AGENDA ITEM 18.

ANY DISCUSSION? CHAIRMAN WAS RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES. THANK YOU. MAYOR. I WAS NOT I THINK I HAD STEPPED OUT DURING THE CONVERSATION WHEN THIS CAME UP.

AND I APPRECIATE THE GREAT QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES.

LAST AGENDA. I ALSO APPRECIATE STAFF GETTING BACK WITH ME ON THIS ITEM.

THIS IS JUST JUST A REALLY, REALLY COOL OPPORTUNITY FOR SAMUEL FARMS TO GET A ARCHERY RANGE PLANNING GRANT.

AND I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE JUST TO GIVE STAFF KUDOS FOR SEEKING OUT THIS GRANT, FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH IT.

AND IF AT SOME POINT IT DOES COME THROUGH, I'M REALLY EXCITED TO COME OUT AND CHECK IT OUT.

I THINK SAMUEL FARM IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR AS A BOND TASK FORCE APPOINTEE BACK IN 2017.

AND IT'S NOT IN A COUNCIL DISTRICT, SO IT OFTEN GETS OVERLOOKED.

IT DOESN'T MAKE IT INTO BOND PROGRAMS, AND IT HAS TO RELY ON ITS VOLUNTEERS AND PARK STAFF TO REALLY ADVOCATE FOR IT.

AND I WANT TO JUST GIVE YOU GUYS A SHOUT OUT FOR DOING THAT, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T HAVE A COUNCIL CHAMPION.

SO MAYBE ALL OF US CAN HELP HELP BE THE CHAMPIONS IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK ON FOR AGAINST AGENDA ITEM 20? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? EYES HAVE IT. AGENDA ITEM 21. AUTHORIZE A SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT NUMBER ONE TO THE PROFESSIONAL

THIS IS YOUR ITEM, MR. MAYOR. LOOKING FOR A MOTION? ANYONE. THERE YOU GO.

OKAY. I HEARD A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED?

[01:20:02]

AYES HAVE IT. NEXT ITEM. AGENDA ITEM 22. AUTHORIZE SUPPLEMENTAL

[22. 26-2001A Authorize Supplemental Agreement No. 4 to increase the two-year master Service Price Agreement with Carahsoft Technology Corporation for the purchase of various software including perpetual, fixed term, subscription and software as a service, software maintenance, support, implementation, and other services - Not to exceed $3,786,672.81, from $15,146,691.20 to $18,933,364.01 - Financing: Data Services Fund (subject to annual appropriations) (This item was deferred on May 27, 2026)]

AGREEMENT. NUMBER FOUR TO INCREASE THE TWO YEAR MASTER SERVICE PRICE AGREEMENT WITH CARAHSOFT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF VARIOUS SOFTWARE, INCLUDING PERPETUAL FIXED TERM SUBSCRIPTION AND SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE, SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE, SUPPORT, IMPLEMENTATION AND OTHER SERVICES NOT TO EXCEED $3,786,672.81 FROM $15,146,691.20 TO $18,933,364.01.

THIS IS YOUR ITEM, MR. MAYOR. MOVE TO APPROVE WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION THAT THE CITY MANAGER PROVIDE US WITH OVERALL SOFTWARE PLAN THAT INCLUDES ALL SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS AND THE NUMBER OF LICENSES FOR EACH APPLICATION AND THE PURPOSE FOR EACH SOFTWARE ITEM.

SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. DO YOU RECOGNIZE FOR FIVE MINUTES ON AGENDA ITEM 22 AS YOU MADE YOUR MOTION? THANK YOU. AT PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE AGENDA MEETING, WE ARE APPROVING ITEM AFTER ITEM OF VERY EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE, AND MANY OF THEM ACTUALLY ARE PURCHASED THROUGH CARAHSOFT, WHICH I THINK IS JUST A DISTRIBUTOR NOT RELATED TO ME, EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS CARA. OKAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THESE SOFTWARES ARE FOR, BUT EVERY SINGLE ONE IS URGENT AND NECESSARY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT EVERY DEPARTMENT SAYS AND WE JUST CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THEM.

BUT BOY, WE HAVE A LOT OF SOFTWARE. WE DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW MANY LICENSES WE HAVE.

AND I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT IF WE REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THERE WOULDN'T BE SOME EFFICIENCIES HAPPENING.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT WE RECENTLY WERE PROVIDED WITH A LIST, BUT IT DIDN'T INCLUDE THINGS LIKE THE LICENSES.

SO MORE INFORMATION AND TRANSPARENCY NEEDED AROUND SOFTWARE.

THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN WAS RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES.

THANK YOU MAYOR. I'VE BEEN I'M IN SUPPORT OF THIS MOTION.

AND MY, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DIG IN MYSELF TO, TO OUR SOFTWARE LICENSES.

STAFF'S BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE TO ME ON IT, BUT I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LICENSES.

AND MY QUESTION TO PROCUREMENT AND TO STAFF IS, ARE WE, ARE WE GOING IN AND ASKING FOR DISCOUNTS AS WE INCREASE OUR AUTHORITY HERE BY $3 MILLION? HOW AGGRESSIVELY ARE WE PUSHING FOR THIS THIRD PARTY COMPANY AND OTHER THIRD PARTY VENDORS TO ACTUALLY GIVE US THE DISCOUNTS WE NEED TO MAKE OUR BUDGET WORK IN THE FALL? AND SO I THINK HAVING THAT COME TO, TO FINANCE OR EVEN GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE FOR THAT TO, TO LAND BEFORE WE GET TO THE BUDGET SEASON.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON FOR AGAINST AGENDA ITEM 22.

CHAIRWOMAN MENDELSOHN, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR THREE MINUTES. I, I'M NOT LOOKING TO PUT STAFF ON THE SPOT AND I DIDN'T ASK THIS QUESTION IN ADVANCE.

BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE SPENT WITH CARAHSOFT? COMING BACK SO FAR THIS FISCAL YEAR? LAST FISCAL YEAR? I MEAN, DO WE HAVE ANY SENSE OF THIS BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH MONEY? IF WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT, WE'LL DEFINITELY GET IT FOR YOU. COUNCILWOMAN.

AND OF COURSE, JUST SO THE PUBLIC KNOWS, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO ON THE FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY WEBSITE AND LOOK IT UP.

AND I WILL DO THAT. I SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT EARLIER.

IT. THE POINT IS THAT WE JUST NEED. I'M. THE MOTION WAS TO APPROVE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO STOP IT, BUT I WILL JUST SAY THIS NEEDS BETTER OVERSIGHT THAN WHAT I THINK WE HAVE BEEN DOING.

ME INCLUDED. COUNCILMAN. MENDELSOHN. WE WILL GET A MEMO OUT.

I'M LOOKING AT THE STAFF. WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING THAT GIVES YOU THE TOTAL AMOUNT AND WHAT THOSE ACTUAL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN FOR, SINCE THAT IS A CONTRACT THAT'S UTILIZED ACROSS.

IT'S AN ENTERPRISE, SO IT'S FOR THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION.

THANK YOU. I WAS DONE AND MY MOTION WAS TO APPROVE. I'M READY TO VOTE. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO SPEAK ON FOR AGAINST AGENDA ITEM 22? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT. NEXT ITEM. AGENDA ITEM 23. AUTHORIZE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND

ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR ARCHITECTURAL, ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES FOR A NEW VEHICLE MAINTENANCE FACILITY AT THE SOUTHEAST SERVICE CENTER NOT TO EXCEED $1,046,500. THIS IS YOUR ITEM, MR. MAYOR.

[01:25:03]

LOOKING FOR A MOTION ON ITEM 23? MOTION TO APPROVE.

I HEARD A MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND. SECOND.

WHAT? I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET IT IN BECAUSE NOBODY WAS DOING.

I HEARD A MOTION IN A SECOND. SO IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? CHAIRWOMAN MENDELSOHN? YES. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

I'M SO CONFUSED. I HAD I HEARD A MOTION YOU HAD ALREADY WHEN YOU LOCKED EYES.

I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME. SO, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK FOR YOU? CAN. YOU CAN GO FOR FIVE MINUTES. UNLESS. IT'S BEEN MOVED IN SECOND.

SO IT'S ON THE FLOOR. DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK FOR FIVE MINUTES FIRST? CORRECT. OKAY. YOU RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES? YES.

I WOULD ASK THAT THE MAKER OF THE MOTION WITHDRAW THE MOTION BECAUSE THIS WAS ACTUALLY REQUESTED TO BE REJECTED.

THIS BID WAS ASKED TO BE REJECTED. SO I DO HAVE A MOTION.

IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO WHO MADE THE MOTION.

DOES IT MATTER. DO WE ARE THEY GOING TO OBJECT TO US WITHDRAWING IT AS.

I MEAN, WE CAN DO IT BY ACCLAMATION. IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO WITHDRAWING THE MOTION? NO.

ANY OBJECTION? HEARING NONE. IT'S SO ORDERED.

THE MOTION IS WITHDRAWN. MAYOR YOU RECOGNIZED FOR A MOTION.

THANK YOU. I MOVE TO REJECT THIS ITEM BECAUSE KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

HAS WITHDRAWN ITS PROPOSAL. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION, MR. BAZALDUA? NO, SIR. A DISCUSSION.

CHAIRWOMAN. MENDELSOHN. WELL, I RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S 846, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS.

OKAY. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES TO SAY THAT.

THANK YOU. IF YOU DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO GO VISIT THE SERVICE CENTER, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE MORE TIME TO GO SEE IT.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO IT. IF YOU'RE IN THE MEDIA, I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD GO TAKE A LOOK.

THERE'S LOTS AND LOTS OF BUILDINGS. SO IF YOU WONDER IF WHERE, WHERE DO THE TRANSPORTATION FOLKS LIVE? THERE'S A WHOLE BIG BUILDING FOR TRANSPORTATION.

THERE'S A WHOLE BIG BUILDING FOR DWI. YOU. THIS IS WHERE THEY DO THE STREET SIGNS, BUT IT'S ALSO WHERE THEY'RE REPAIRING A LOT OF VEHICLES.

BUT WE HAVE OTHER SERVICE CENTERS. THIS SERVICE CENTER IS IN TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE CONDITION.

PAINS COMING DOWN FROM THE PAINT'S PEELING. THEY SHOWED ME WATER IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.

LIKE WE LITERALLY COULDN'T WALK IN THEIR TOILETS THAT ARE OVERFLOWING SEWAGE, NO AIR CONDITIONING.

IT WOULDN'T EVEN GET A PERMIT FROM OUR CITY. BUT THE MONEY THAT WE'RE BEING ASKED FOR ISN'T TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS.

AND IT ISN'T FOR THE PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE THIS BUILDING AND GO TO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO CONSTRUCT.

OH NO, PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO WORK IN THIS TERRIBLE CONDITION.

THIS IS JUST TO ADD FOUR BAYS THAT ARE TALLER.

SO FOR EVERY PERSON THAT HAS TALKED ABOUT THE TERRIBLE CONDITIONS THAT CITY HALL THAT WORKERS HAVE TO ENDURE, I GUARANTEE YOU THERE'S NOT SEWAGE OVERFLOWING WATER IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM, PAINT COMING FROM THE CEILING AND NO AIR CONDITIONING.

SO I WOULD SAY, WHY WOULD WE SPEND $1 MILLION TO ADD FOUR MORE BAYS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE TALLER? THERE NEEDS TO BE A MUCH BETTER PLAN HERE. IT COULD BE THAT THAT ENTIRE BUILDING JUST NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND THE TRUCKS NEED TO BE AND VEHICLES NEED TO BE REPAIRED SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT THAT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN BY CODE COMPLIANCE.

SO I, I AM SHOCKED THAT WE ASK PEOPLE TO WORK THERE.

NO WONDER THEY HAVE SO MANY JOB OPENINGS. AGAIN, WE WOULDN'T PROVIDE A CEO TO ANY OTHER BUSINESS TO OPERATE LIKE THIS.

SO I'M GLAD KIMLEY-HORN BACKED OUT. WE'LL BE SAYING NO ON THIS, BUT AGAIN, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

GO SEE THIS YOURSELF. YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON FOR OR AGAINST THE MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM 23? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. NEXT ITEM. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

CECILIA. PIERRE. CECILIA. PIERRE. IT'S NOT ONLINE.

ARE THERE ANY INDIVIDUALS IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON ITEM Z ONE? ARE THERE ARE THERE ANY INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL? YOU'RE COMING FORTH ON Z ONE.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

MY NAME IS TABITHA WHEELER REAGAN. I RESIDE AT 2111 SOUTH SECOND AVENUE.

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE AMENDMENTS TO THE SOUTH DALLAS PARK SPECIAL PURPOSE DISTRICT PD 59521 YEARS AGO, THE COMMUNITY LEADERS OF THE RESIDENTS OF SOUTH DALLAS WERE DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DECLINE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD THEY ONCE PROUDLY CALLED HOME.

INCOMPATIBLE ZONING AND LAND USES CONTRIBUTED TO THE DECLINE.

IN RESPONSE, THEY HELPED FORMULATE ARTICLE ARTICLE 595, WHICH SERVED AS THE PROTECTIVE MEASURES BY ELIMINATING USES THAT WERE NEGATIVELY, NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THEIR COMMUNITY. PD 595 WAS AN AGGRESSIVE AND NECESSARY STEP, ACCOMPLISHING ITS INTENDED GOALS.

HOWEVER, AS SOUTH DALLAS FACES THE NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES, IT IS CLEAR THAT SOME MODIFICATIONS WERE REQUIRED.

THESE INCLUDE NEW PERMITTED USES, REMOVAL OF CERTAIN UPDATED HOUSING DESIGN STANDARDS AND THE INCORPORATION OF A HISTORIC DESIGNATION TO HONOR OUR RICH HERITAGE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT SOUTH DALLAS PROPER IS A DESTINATION WITHIN OUR CITY, AND A COMMUNITY WITH A DISTINCT IDENTITY AND VITAL ROLE IN DALLAS OVERALL FABRIC.

I WANT TO SINCERELY THANK OUR COUNCIL MEMBER FOR ENTRUSTING THE COMMUNITY WITH THE FORMING OF A TASK FORCE COMPOSED OF GENUINE STAKEHOLDERS.

I'M GRATEFUL TO TO CHAIR OUR CHAIR, SCOTTY SMITH, FOR STEADFASTLY GUIDING THROUGH, GUIDING THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS, AND TO THE HONORABLE DIANE RAGSDALE, NOT ONLY AS THE CO-CREATOR OF PD 5005, BUT ALSO PATIENT SUPPORTER OF THE CURRENT TASK FORCE AS THEY BUILD UPON THE FOUNDATION.

I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR CITY STAFF PATRICK BLAISE, LINDSEY JACKSON, SANDRA BOUTTE AND FORMER DEPUTY DIRECTOR ANDREW GILLIES FOR VITAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA PLAN AND ADVANCING IT TO THE AUTHORIZING PHASE.

I RESPECTFULLY URGE THE DALLAS CITY COUNCIL TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE DECISION MADE LAST JUNE, APPROVING THE SOUTH DALLAS PARK AREA PLAN AND TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS TO PD 595.

TODAY, DOING SO WILL ENSURE THE SOUTH DALLAS PROPER GROWS, THRIVES AND REMAINS A COMMUNITY.

THEY. ALL THAT WE ALL ARE PROUD TO CALL HOME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON ITEM C ONE? OKAY. MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS DIANE RAGSDALE, 3611 DUNBAR

[01:50:10]

STREET, DALLAS, TEXAS. I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST AND FOREMOST, THANK COUNCIL MEMBER ADAM BAZALDUA CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, TABITHA WHEELER, AND CERTAINLY CO-CHAIR OF THE SCOTTISH SMITH FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP IN INITIATING, GUIDING AND ADVANCING THIS PLANNING PROCESS TO IMPROVE PD.

595. I WANT TO ALSO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO THE STAFF FOR THEIR HARD WORK, DEDICATION AND CONSISTENCY THROUGHOUT MANY YEARS. THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGES ESTABLISHED NECESSARY DESIGN STANDARDS FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND DUPLEXES THAT ARE INTENDED TO PRESERVE THE CHARACTER AND APPEARANCE OF THE COMMUNITY WHILE CREATING ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES.

WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY HAD PROBLEMS, OR SHOULD I SAY, MOST RECENTLY WITH GROSSLY INCOMPATIBLE HOUSES.

THE NEW PLAN AND ZONING CHANGES ALSO CALLED FOR THE CREATION OF A QUEEN CITY HISTORIC DISTRICT, WHICH WILL HELP STABILIZE ONE OF OUR MOST CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT NEIGHBORHOODS.

HOWEVER, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE STANDARDS WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON THE CONSISTENT APPLICATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE REGULATIONS BY THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND APPROVING BUILDING PERMITS. IN ADDITION, THE ZONING CHANGES ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALONG KEY AREAS.

MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD. L.C. HAGANS, ROBERT B CULLUM AND MALCOLM X BOULEVARD.

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT THE ZONING REGULATIONS CONTINUE TO BE REVIEWED AND MONITORED TO ENSURE THAT FUTURE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMPLEMENTS AND STRENGTHENS ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AS INTENDED.

OVERALL, I SINCERELY FEEL THAT THE THAT THESE ZONING CHANGES REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT STEP FORWARD FOR BOTH THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE SOUTH DALLAS FAIR PARK COMMUNITY. TO MAXIMIZE THE PLAN'S SUCCESS, HOWEVER, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND ESTABLISHING A DEDICATED IMPLEMENTATION ENTITY AND IDENTIFYING AND IDENTIFYING A RELIABLE FUNDING SOURCE TO COORDINATE EFFORTS, FACILITATE PROJECTS, AND TO ENSURE THE SUCCESSFUL REALIZATION OF THE PLAN'S GOALS AND VISION.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL? GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SCOTTY SMITH. I'M AT 2500 PEABODY IN SUNNY SOUTH DALLAS, DISTRICT SEVEN.

AND IT'S LATE, Y'ALL. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. TO THE MAYOR COUNCIL PEOPLE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

IT FELT LIKE AROUND THIS TIME LAST YEAR WHERE WE ADOPTED THE SOUTH DALLAS FAIR PARK AREA PLAN.

AND ONE OF THE, EXCUSE ME, ONE OF THE CALL OUTS IN THAT PLAN WAS TO ENSURE THAT THIS AUTHORIZED HEARING, EXCUSE ME, IS LATE. HAVEN'T HAD ANY COFFEE TONIGHT TO ENSURE THAT THIS AUTHORIZED HEARING GOT DONE.

AND INITIALLY WE THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING TO PUSH IT ANOTHER TWO WEEKS TO TO HEAR THIS THING.

BUT I SAID, WE'VE WAITED 5 OR 6 YEARS. SO WHAT'S ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS? AND SO AT THIS POINT, THE PD 595 WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS COME TOGETHER TO, TO, TO PUT TOGETHER AND TO INCLUDE AND TO ENSURE IT'S INCLUDED IN THIS THING IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HEARD OVER THE PAST 5 OR 6 YEARS DURING THE, DURING THE AREA PLAN TASK FORCE MEETINGS ALMOST 200 MEETINGS A LOT OF COMMUNITY EFFORT, A LOT OF COMMUNITY INPUT.

WE MUCH LIKE MISS RAGSDALE SAID, WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR AN ENTITY TO HELP TO CREATE A FUNDING SOURCE, BUT ALSO TO HELP ENSURE THAT THE THINGS IN OUR AREA PLAN AND IN THIS AUTHORIZED HEARING, IN THIS NEW ZONING GETS IMPLEMENTED IN SOUTH DALLAS.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE CALL OUTS THAT I MADE CERTAIN THAT I SAID IN MY LETTER, IN THE OPENING PAGES OF THE AREA PLAN IS THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A PLAN THAT JUST SITS ON A SHELF. WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE THINGS THAT THE COMMUNITY ASKS FOR AND HAS ASKED FOR TIME AND TIME AGAIN GET IMPLEMENTED.

AND WE REALLY NEED YOUR GUYS'S HELP TO DO THAT.

AND SO I IMPLORE YOU TO, OF COURSE, SUPPORT THIS, BUT EVEN EVEN MORE SO, MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE THE NECESSARY MECHANISMS TO ENSURE THAT THESE THINGS CONTINUE TO PROGRESS IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON Z ONE? NO FURTHER SPEAKERS, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY PLAN COMMISSION, WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGES FOR LIQUOR STORE IN THE CMU COMMUNITY.

[01:55:08]

MIXED USE SUBDISTRICT DELETE IN THE CCE ENHANCED ONLY AGRICULTURAL USES ARE PERMITTED BY RIGHT IN ALL SUBDISTRICTS. ADD THE DEFINITION OF RESTAURANT WITHOUT DRIVE IN OR DRIVE THRU SERVICE FROM CHAPTER 51 A AND PROVIDE THAT COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT INSIDE IS ALLOWED AS AN ACCESSORY USE IN THE WNMU NEIGHBORHOOD, MIXED USE CMU COMMUNITY MIXED USE AND RMU REGIONAL MIXED USE SUBDISTRICTS.

HOTEL AND MOTEL USE IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT. IF OVER 60 GUEST ROOMS ARE PROVIDED OTHERWISE BY SUP ONLY IN THE SD7 POINT FIVE SOUTH DALLAS SINGLE FAMILY'S D FIVE SOUTH DALLAS SINGLE FAMILY AND SDD SOUTH DALLAS DUPLEX SUBDISTRICTS PROVIDE AN EXCEPTION TO THE ROOF PITCH FOR ROOFS OVER THE FIRST FLOOR AND LOCATED IN THE REAR 50% OF THE LOT AND ADD THAT ROOF EAVES MAY COME TOGETHER AT A STRUCTURAL WALL TRACK. TRACK 15 IN CITY BLOCK F 874 IS REZONED FROM AN MMF2A MULTIFAMILY SUBDISTRICT TO THE CMU COMMUNITY MIXED USE SUBDISTRICT.

CAN I CAN I GET A SECOND? SECOND. THANK YOU. SECOND, THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCIL MEMBER BAZALDUA. YES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. FIRST I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL VOTE I AM HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE AS A COUNCIL MEMBER.

IT WAS SIX YEARS AGO WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS.

ALMOST THE EXACT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT I HAVE SERVED AS A COUNCIL MEMBER FOR DISTRICT SEVEN, ONE OF MY EARLIEST MEMORIES WHILE RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN THE FIRST PLACE IS WHEN OUR CURRENT CITY PLAN COMMISSIONER, TABITHA WHEELER. REAGAN CAME UP TO ME AND ASKED, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT PD 595? AND I ASKED HER, WHAT IS PD 595? I LIKE SHARING THAT STORY BECAUSE I THINK IT DISPLAYS A VERY REAL AND INEVITABLE FACT ABOUT PUBLIC OFFICE. WE CAN'T KNOW EVERYTHING DURING OUR TIME IN OFFICE.

WE CAN STRIVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING. BUT STARTING OUT, YOU NEED THE VOICE AND THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY TO GUIDE YOU ON WHERE THOSE PRIORITIES ARE. THAT ONE SMALL MOMENT SET IN MOTION A CHAIN OF EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS THAT BROUGHT US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST MEANINGFUL ZONING ITEMS THAT I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON DURING MY TIME ON THE DALLAS CITY COUNCIL, AND PROBABLY MY BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT AS A COUNCIL MEMBER.

THIS MOMENT HAS BEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING. THE EFFORT THAT ULTIMATELY BECAME THE SOUTH DALLAS FAIR PARK AREA PLAN BEGAN MORE THAN SIX YEARS AGO, IN JANUARY 2020, WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT AN AUTHORIZED HEARING FORTH VIA FIVE SIGNATURE MEMO. HOWEVER, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC PUT THOSE EFFORTS ON HOLD.

BUT THE COMMUNITY NEVER GAVE UP ON THIS VISION.

WHEN ENGAGEMENT RESUMED, RESIDENTS, PROPERTY OWNERS, NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, ADVOCATES AND CITY STAFF ALL CAME TOGETHER AND SPENT YEARS BUILDING A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OF SOUTH DALLAS.

THIS WAS NOT A PROCESS THAT HAPPENED TO THE COMMUNITY.

THIS WAS A PROCESS BUILT BY THE COMMUNITY THROUGH COUNTLESS.

THROUGH COUNTLESS MEETINGS, WORKSHOPS, CONVERSATIONS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS.

RESIDENTS TOLD US WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE. WALKABLE CORRIDORS.

NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING BUSINESSES. BETTER CONNECTIONS TO TRANSIT.

HOUSING OPTIONS. PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS.

THANK YOU. AND DEVELOPMENT THAT REFLECTS THE CHARACTER AND THE VALUES OF SOUTH DALLAS.

TODAY, WE ARE MAKING THE COMMUNITY'S VISION A REALITY.

THIS ZONING UPDATE. UPDATE CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR REINVESTMENT ALONG MAJOR CORRIDORS LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BOULEVARD, ELSIE FAY, HIGGINS STREET, BOTHAM JEAN BOULEVARD AND ROBERT B CULLEN BOULEVARD.

IT ENCOURAGES WALKABLE, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES AND CREATES NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOUSING AND ECONOMIC GROWTH.

[02:00:07]

JUST AS IMPORTANTLY, IT PROVIDES GREATER CERTAINTY THAT PREDICTABILITY FOR RESIDENTS, PROPERTY OWNERS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

ONE OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. I AM MOST PROUD OF THAT THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NOW INCLUDES DESIGN STANDARDS, ONES THAT WILL HELP PROTECT AND PRESERVE NEIGHBORHOODS IN SOUTH DALLAS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SOUTH DALLAS.

WE ARE PAIRING GROWTH WITH THOUGHTFUL DESIGN EXPECTATIONS THAT HELP ENSURE THAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT RESPECTS AND COMPLEMENTS THE HISTORIC FABRIC OF SOUTH DALLAS NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS AREA PLAN AND ZONING WILL PUT US CLOSER TO ENSURING THAT NO MORE DEVELOPMENTS ARE, AS MISS RAGSDALE LIKES TO SAY, GROSSLY INCOMPATIBLE.

TOO OFTEN COMMUNITIES ARE TOLD THEY MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN PRESERVATION AND INVESTMENT.

TODAY WE ARE DEMONSTRATING THAT WE CAN DO BOTH.

WE CAN WELCOME NEW INVESTMENT WHILE PROTECTING THE CHARACTER AND THE HISTORY THAT MAKES SOUTH DALLAS SO SPECIAL.

WE CAN CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS WHILE HONORING THOSE WHO BUILT THESE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, IT IS DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO WORDS WHAT THIS MOMENT REALLY DOES MEAN TO ME.

THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING PROJECTS I HAVE WORKED ON AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, AND I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WATCHING SO MANY PEOPLE POUR THEIR TIME, ENERGY, EXPERTISE AND PASSION INTO THIS EFFORT.

I WANT TO FIRST START BY THANKING THE HONORABLE DIANE RAGSDALE, WHO CREATED PD 595 MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO.

EVEN THEN, MISS RAGSDALE KNEW THAT THE LAND USE WOULD DICTATE THE FUTURE OF SOUTH DALLAS, AND WE'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR HER FORESIGHT AND ACTION.

I WANT TO THANK EVERY MEMBER OF THE SOUTH DALLAS FAIR PARK AREA PLAN TASK FORCE.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU GOES TO TABITHA WHEELER RAGAN AND SCOTTIE SMITH.

BAZALDUA DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR THREE MINUTES AND KEEP GOING? IF I IF I MAY, I WANT TO THANK EVERY MEMBER OF THE TASK FORCE.

SPECIAL THANK YOU TO TABITHA WHEELER RAGAN AND SCOTTIE SMITH, WHO STARTED AS CO-CHAIRS OF THIS TASK FORCE.

THIS ENTIRE TASK FORCE WAS THE DRIVING FORCE AND THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE AREA PLAN THAT YOU SEE TODAY.

I WANT TO THANK THE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THE ADVOCATES WHO NEVER STOPPED SHOWING UP, SPEAKING UP, AND PUSHING US TO GET THIS RIGHT. I WANT TO THANK OUR CITY PLAN COMMISSIONER, TABITHA WHEELER REAGAN, FOR HELPING GUIDE THIS EFFORT THROUGH THE THROUGH AN INCREDIBLY COMPLEX PROCESS.

THIS PROCESS UNIFIED THE COMMUNITY LIKE I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

FOR YEARS, THE COMMUNITY REMAINED UNIFIED, NO REMAINED UNIFIED AND CONSISTENT TO BRING US TO THIS MOMENT.

THIS AREA PLAN PROCESS WAS THE TEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS TO WHETHER WE COULD SETTLE OUR DIFFERENCES AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY WAY THIS AUTHORIZED HEARING WOULD MAKE IT TO THE END IS IF WE WORK TOGETHER.

NOW, AT THE FINISH LINE, I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT DURING THIS PROCESS, I SAW SOUTH DALLAS WORK TOGETHER LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

I WILL HOLD THE REST OF MY COMMENTS FOR THE SECOND ROUND THAT I'M ON NOW.

MY REMARKS WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT THANKING ALL THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES THAT WORKED TO MAKE THIS MOMENT POSSIBLE.

I WANT TO THANK THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT STAFF FOR THEIR WORK THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THIS PROCESS.

SPECIFICALLY, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT YOUR APPROACH THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.

YOU DIDN'T PRESENT A TOPIC AND BRING IT TO THE COMMUNITY HOPING FOR BUY IN.

YOU CAME TO THE RESIDENTS OF SOUTH DALLAS UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY WOULD BE THE AGENTS OF CHANGE IN THIS PROCESS, NOT THE CITY. TO LINDSEY JACKSON AND PATRICK BLADES, YOU SHOWED UP FOR SOUTH DALLAS DAY AFTER DAY, WEEK AFTER WEEK, AND OVER 200 WEEKS IN THAT WORK.

YOU HEARD THE COMMUNITY INCORPORATED THEIR FEEDBACK AND WORKED TO ENSURE THAT THE SOUTH DALLAS AREA PLAN WAS A COLLECTIVE, A COLLECTION OF GENERATIONS OF VOICES. I WANT TO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU AS WELL TO MISS SANDRA BOWIE, WHO PLAYED A LARGE PART IN THESE EFFORTS WHEN SHE WAS STILL WITH PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND.

AND THOUGH SHE IS NOW IN A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT, SHE'S STILL AN ACTIVE ADVOCATE FOR SOUTH DALLAS TO OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP, FORMER DIRECTOR GILLIS ANDREA GILLIS, WITH EFFORTS CONTINUING UNDER EMILY LEW AND DEPUTY DIRECTOR ANDREA UDREA.

ARTURO DEL CASTILLO AND LAWRENCE, AIGOO, THANK YOU FOR INVESTING.

INVESTING IN SOUTH DALLAS AND PUSHING FOR CHANGE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU TO SETH JP AND JOHN CERVANTES FOR YOUR WORK DURING THE AUTHORIZED HEARINGS, QUARTERBACKING THE ZONING, AND GETTING THIS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO TOUCH THIS PROJECT, FROM THE PLANNING STAFF WHO HAD TO MAIL OVER 54,000 INDIVIDUAL SHEETS OF PAPER, TO THE ATTORNEYS WHO MADE SURE OUR LEGAL LANGUAGE WAS INTACT.

[02:05:01]

THANK YOU TO PLANNING ZONING GISCAO PRESERVATION.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT. FRONT OFFICE STAFF. HOUSING.

TRANSPORTATION. COUNCIL MEMBER DEVELOPMENT. ONE MORE MINUTE.

YES, PLEASE. YOU ALL STAYED COMMITTED THROUGH THIS.

COUNTLESS MEETINGS, REVISIONS, PRESENTATIONS, AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE YOU BELIEVED THAT THIS COMMUNITY DESERVED A PLAN THAT REFLECTED ITS VISION FOR THE FUTURE. WE ARE DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR WORK AND YOUR PARTNERSHIP.

TODAY IS NOT THE END OF THE PROCESS. IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER.

THE SOUTH DALLAS RENAISSANCE, A CHAPTER WHERE THE ZONING FRAMEWORK BETTER REFLECTS WHAT RESIDENTS HAVE TOLD US.

THEY WANT THEIR COMMUNITY TO BECOME. A CHAPTER THAT CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR WALKABILITY, INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT, PRESERVATION, ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND NEIGHBORHOOD STABILITY.

AND A CHAPTER THAT PROVES WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN A COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER AND DECIDES TO SHAPE ITS OWN FUTURE.

FOR THOSE REASONS, I'M EXTREMELY PROUD TO SUPPORT THIS ITEM AND HOPE WE CAN HAVE A UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

THANK YOU. CHAIR. MENDELSOHN FIVE MINUTES. THANK YOU.

ACTUALLY, COUNCIL MEMBER. BAZALDUA. I THINK WE CAN SEE WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU.

AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR LEADING THIS PROCESS IN EXACTLY THE WAY IT SHOULD BE LED, RIGHT WITH THE PEOPLE AND FOR ACKNOWLEDGING ALL OF THEM.

AND, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL STAYED SO LONG. SO AMAZING.

IT'S A GOOD DAY FOR DALLAS, BUT MY QUESTION IS GOING TO BE LESS ABOUT THE CONTENT OF THE ITEM AND MORE ABOUT WHY IT TOOK THREE YEARS, SEVEN MONTHS, AND 29 DAYS FROM THE DAY IT WAS SUBMITTED FOR IT TO COME HERE.

I'M WONDERING IF STAFF MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT.

I HOPE NOT YET. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE QUESTION.

SO I'M GONNA SAY THE SAME. THIS IS A BIG AUTHORIZED HEARING.

WE NEEDED TO WORK VERY CLOSE WITH THE COMMUNITY.

AS YOU HEARD COUNCIL MEMBER SAYING, THERE WERE A LOT OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND WE WANTED TO GET IT RIGHT.

AND YEAH, WE WANTED TO HAVE A STAFF ALIGNED. I THINK AS COUNCIL MEMBER BAZALDUA SAID, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY 20 STAFF BEHIND THIS EFFORT.

IT IS SIGNIFICANT. WE NEED TO MAKE IT THOUGHTFULLY.

I'M ALSO SUPER PROUD OF THE CONTENT AND THAT TAKES TIME.

BUT AGAIN, THIS IS THE COMMUNITY'S PLAN. AND WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, AND I THINK IT'S BETTER TO HAVE IT RIGHT THAN RUSHED.

I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD WANT IT TO BE DONE RIGHT AND EVERYBODY WOULD WANT IT TO BE DONE INCLUSIVELY.

DO YOU THINK THAT THREE YEARS, SEVEN MONTHS AND 29 DAYS IS AN ACCEPTABLE TIME FRAME TO GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS DONE? IT HAPPENS WITH BIG COMMUNITY, WITH BIG AUTHORIZED HEARINGS.

I DON'T HAVE A DIFFERENT ANSWER FOR YOU. IT HAPPENS WITH CONSERVATION DISTRICTS.

IT HAPPENS AND WITH SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE.

I READ THERE WERE OVER 8000 PROPERTY OWNERS NOTIFIED, BUT IN ACTUALITY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 11,000 PROPERTIES.

IT'S THE BIGGEST AREA WE HAVE IN THE CITY UNDER ONE SINGLE PD.

IT DOES TAKE TIME. THE THE STAFF REPORT, AS YOU CAN SEE, IS 500 PAGES.

IT TAKES TIME. AND NO, WE DO NOT SACRIFICE CONTENT.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD SUBMIT THAT ANYTHING LIKE THIS SHOULDN'T TAKE MORE THAN ONE YEAR.

AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE COMPETITION OF OTHER CITIES, I WOULD BET YOU THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE THREE YEARS, SEVEN MONTHS AND 29 DAYS, NOT TO MENTION THE YEARS BEFORE IT WAS EVEN FILED.

SO IF COUNCIL MEMBER BAZALDUA IS TALKING ABOUT THIS STARTED WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE.

THIS IS REALLY SHOCKING. AND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, TO THE COMMUNITY, THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH IT.

AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT YOU THINK. WELL, WE DO CARE AND WE'RE REALLY GLAD TO SEE THIS HAPPEN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CHAIR WEST. FIVE MINUTES.

THANK YOU CHAIR. AND I LOVE SEEING MY MY COLLEAGUE GET CHOKED UP ON THIS.

IT'S IN THE PASSION FOR THIS KIND OF ITEM. Y'ALL BRING SOME MORE STUFF UP HERE BECAUSE IT KEEPS HIM A LITTLE QUIETER OVER THERE.

WE LIKE THAT. ALSO CONTINUE TO BE IMPRESSED WITH COMMISSIONER REAGAN WHEELER AND, AND YOUR PASSION FOR YOUR COMMUNITY AND, AND YOUR PROACTIVE APPROACH TO LAND USE PLANNING.

I REALLY, I'VE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THAT. AND THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S GIVEN ME A LOT OF GRAY HAIRS IN MY DISTRICT OF GOING THROUGH AND GETTING THE WAR WOUNDS ON, ON LAND USE PLANNING. BUT I THINK THE CITY IS BETTER FOR IT.

AND I KNOW YOUR COMMUNITY APPRECIATES IT, EVEN THOUGH YOU PROBABLY GOT SOME WAR WOUNDS YOU KNOW, GOING TO ALL THOSE MEETINGS FOR THREE YEARS. I REALLY LOVE WHAT HONORABLE DIANE RAGSDALE SAID ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THIS PLAN HAS DESIGN STANDARDS THAT PRESERVE THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE ALLOWING FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPTIONS.

SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES DENSITY GETS A BAD, BAD RAP, RIGHT?

[02:10:01]

BUT ALLOWING FOR ADUS AND DUPLEXES, BUT PUTTING IN THE DESIGN STANDARDS CAN MAKE THEM REALLY FIT INTO THE COMMUNITY.

AND WE SEE THAT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE WINNETKA HEIGHTS AND LAKE CLIFF, WHERE YOU WALK DOWN AND YOU CAN'T TELL A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FOURPLEX AND A REGULAR, YOU KNOW, SINGLE FAMILY HOME. IT'S ABOUT THE NEIGHBORS GET UPSET ABOUT IS WHEN YOU HAVE THESE MODERN THINGS THAT JUST DON'T FIT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEY STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT MY NEIGHBORS GET REALLY UPSET ABOUT VERSUS JUST, OKAY, WELL, THAT'S THERE'S THREE FAMILIES LIVING THERE INSTEAD OF ONE, YOU KNOW? SO I LOVE IT THAT, YOU KNOW, BALANCING PRESERVATION WITH NEW HOUSING OPTIONS.

WE'VE GOT TO BE CREATIVE LIKE THAT IN THESE, IN THESE OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND STAFF TOLD ME A STATISTIC THAT I JUST WANT TO PUT OUT THERE.

THIS IS THE LARGEST PD IN THE CITY NOW THAT ALLOWS ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS BY RIGHT, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT FOR AGING SENIORS WHO NEED HOUSING.

KIDS COMING HOME WHO WHO MAYBE CAN'T AFFORD A TRADITIONAL APARTMENT.

THEY CAN LIVE IN THE BACK HOUSE SO THEY CAN GET ON THEIR FEET. THIS IS THIS IS WHAT WE NEED IN DALLAS.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. THANKS. COUNCILMEMBER CADENA.

I JUST WANT TO COMMEND EVERY MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY FOR WORKING ON THIS.

WEST DALLAS HAS A LOT OF SIMILARITIES TO D SEVEN, AND WE HAVE AN AUTHORIZED HEARING HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, SO I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK THAT IT TAKES. I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF FOR WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND GETTING IT JUST RIGHT.

I SEE ALL OF Y'ALL JUST HAPPY. AND I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK THAT Y'ALL PUT INTO IT.

AND I ALSO WANT TO COMMEND AND COUNCIL MEMBER BAZALDUA FOR ADVOCATING FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.

AND I KNOW IT WASN'T EASY BECAUSE IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET THROUGH IT AND, AND GET IT JUST RIGHT.

BUT I'M VERY HAPPY FOR YOU ALL AND JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WORK AND FOR FOR MAKING YOUR COMMUNITY BETTER.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER BLAIR. I ALSO WANT TO THANK STAFF, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I WANT TO THANK MY MY FRIEND TABITHA REAGAN WHEELER FOR THE WORK THAT I KNOW SHE DOES.
