Public comments may also be submitted online at: cedarhilltx.com/publiccomment. All public comments submitted online by 4pm on City Council meeting dates will be distributed to the City Council and entered into record. ]

THIS GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY ASSISTANCE TO MAY ADDRESS, UH, ANY SUBJECT DURING THE CITIZENS FORUM OF OUR REVENUE SCHEDULE MEETING, THE COUNCIL CANNOT TAKE ACTION ON ANY MATTER.

THAT IS NOT, UH, LISTED ON OUR AGENDA, BUT WE COULD REFER TO CITY STAFF OR PUT ON A FUTURE AGENDA.

SO I THINK I HAVE A, IS IT JAMIE? JAMIE, JAMIE, COME ON DOWN, UH, JANIE, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO TALK TO THE COUNCIL ABOUT ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT.

AND I BELIEVE MY REMARKS WERE PROBABLY LONGER THAN THAT, BUT I CAN MAKE A COPY OF THESE REMARKS AVAILABLE TO THE COUNCIL ADDRESSES.

ABSOLUTELY.

DO YOU WANT TO PULL THE MICROPHONE TO YOU? YES, SIR.

THERE YOU GO.

CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THIS JANIE DAN HOFF? HAIGA 1380 BEAR CREEK ROAD,

[00:10:01]

CEDAR HILL, TEXAS.

I'VE LIVED THERE FOR ALMOST 19 YEARS.

UH, IT'S BEEN QUITE A FEW YEARS SINCE I ADDRESSED THE COUNCIL.

AT THE TIME I ADDRESSED THE COUNCIL.

WE WERE STILL IN THE OLD BUILDING, UH, AND HAVE MY LIFE HAS CHANGED A LOT.

I WAS AN AEROSPACE EXECUTIVE IN THE AIRSPACE INDUSTRY FOR 35 YEARS, AND NOW I'M A FULL-TIME FARMER.

AND I APPRECIATE MY LITTLE FARM VERY MUCH, WHICH IS WHY I'M HERE TODAY.

UH, WE HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF A SITUATION, UH, REGARDING THE PROPERTY AT THE END OF OUR STREET THAT WE WANT TO BRING TO COUNCIL'S ATTENTION.

UH, THIS PROPERTY IS THE PIECE THAT IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH EAST NORTHWEST CORNER OF BEAR CREEK AND DUNCANVILLE ROAD CURRENTLY BEING OWNED BY DEION SANDERS.

UH, IT WOULD TO OUR SURPRISE IN LATE APRIL, A FEW OF OUR NEIGHBORS ALONG BEAR CREEK IN DUNCANVILLE ROAD, RECEIVED LETTERS IN THE MAIL FROM HUFFINES COMMUNITIES, INVITING THEM TO BRUCE'S TO PARTICIPATE IN A ZOOM MEETING ON MAY 2ND, I DID NOT RECEIVE SUCH A LETTER, BUT BECAUSE OF OUR NETWORKING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE WERE ABLE TO AT LEAST BE MADE AWARE OF IT AND MORE OF US WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.

SO WHEN THIS MEETING OCCURRED ON THE 2ND OF MAY, THERE WERE ABOUT 30 OF US IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WERE LINKED INTO THIS, TO THIS, UH, MEETING.

SO WHAT WE LEARNED IN THE CALL WAS THEIR PLANS TO SHOE HORN, 350 TRACT HOMES ON THE CORNER OF BEAR CREEK AND DUNCANVILLE ROADS, AS SHOCKING AS THIS WAS TO MOST OF US, THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.

ALTHOUGH MANY OF US WERE CUT OFF BECAUSE THEY ONLY PAID FOR A 30 MINUTE CALL.

HERE'S WHAT WE FOUND OUT COLLECTIVELY HUFFINES COMMUNITIES ARE ACTUALLY TOO APPARENTLY SECOND OR THIRD GENERATION, RICH KIDS OF HUFFINES FAMILY.

THEY HAVE APPARENTLY HAD OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, BUT THEY'RE VERY CRYPTIC ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE AND WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENTS THEY ARE.

WHEN WE ASKED WE GOT NO ADDRESSES AND NO CITIES, UH, THEIR SPEECHES WERE FILLED WITH QUESTIONABLE STATEMENTS THAT DIDN'T REALLY JIVE WITH WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY REALLY DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY AND THEIR RESPONSES AND SMIRKS TO OUR CHALLENGES AND QUESTIONS WERE NOT WELL RECEIVED BY US OLD FOLKS OUT THERE IN SOUTH CEDAR HILL.

SO I CAN TELL YOU, THEY DIDN'T MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION WITH ANY OF US.

THEY APPARENTLY HAVE AN OPTION TO BUY DEION SANDERS, A HUNDRED ACRES ON THE CORNER OF BEAR CREEK AND DUNCANVILLE ROADS.

THEY SAY THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL FOR ABOUT A YEAR TO FLESH OUT THEIR PLANS, WHICH WAS A BIT SHOCKING TO US.

UH, APPARENTLY THEY FEEL THAT THE CITY IS GIVING THEM FULL SUPPORT FOR THIS RE REZONING.

ALTHOUGH THEY TOLD US THAT THEY HAD NOT REQUESTED THE REZONING, THEY INTEND TO SEEK THE REZONING TO PACK IN THESE 350 HOMES.

THEY WERE VERY CLEAR, THERE'LL BE NO CUSTOM HOMES AND THERE'LL BE ONE OR TWO TRACT HOME BUILDERS.

SO SUCH A DEVELOPMENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WILL DESTROY OUR RURAL ATMOSPHERE, LOWER OUR PROPERTY VALUES AND ADD NOISE TRAFFIC AND CRIME TO OUR LIVES.

BASICALLY THEIR PLANS UNDO.

I'M SORRY, JD.

THAT WAS, THAT WAS THREE MINUTES.

SURE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AND WE'LL HAVE SURE WE'LL HAVE SOMEONE TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU AS WELL.

DJS, UH, STEAK AND SEAFOOD AND STEAK HOUSE.

UH, NEXT IS, UH, SUBJECT BROWN.

TWO TOPIC IS, UH, MAYWEATHER, GYM FITNESS AND RESTAURANT AND ALL THAT.

MR. BROWN, GLAD TO BE HERE TODAY.

ONCE AGAIN, UH, TO EVERYBODY HERE ON THIS COUNSELING, YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

I WANT TO GIVE THANKS TO A GALE WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT AND PERMITS.

NOW WE DID GET OUR C OH FOR THE GYM, WHICH WE'RE LOCATED AT 3 0 5 WEST FM 1382 AND HILLSIDE VILLAGE RIGHT NEXT TO H AND M RIGHT NEXT TO ORANGE THEORY.

SO THE MAYWEATHER MARK IS THE LARGEST MAYWEATHER BOXING AND FITNESS GYM THAT EXISTS OUT OF ALL THE FRANCHISES RIGHT HERE IN CEDAR HILL, TEXAS.

WE EXPECT TO BE, UM, SINCE WE HAVE OUR CEO, WE EXPECT TO BE OPENED IN, I WOULD SAY APPROXIMATELY, UH, AROUND JUNE THE 20TH.

AND WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY HAVE THAT GRAND OPENING JULY THE 23RD, WHICH WE EXPECT A GREAT EVENT WE'LL BE GETTING WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, CHIEF OF POLICE AND SOM BECAUSE WE EXPECT A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTHERN SECTOR TO BE ATTENDING THE GRAND OPENING, WHICH WOULD BE GREAT.

AND SINCE GOT THAT PART ABOUT A W WE'RE IN THE PROCESS NOW OF GETTING READY TO, UH, WE'VE STARTED PRE-CONSTRUCTION ON WING MAC, A SPORTS BAR THAT'S LOCATED IN HILLSIDE VILLAGE AND ALSO

[00:15:01]

SO THAT'S COMING SOON AND WE EXPECT TO BE OPENING UP THOSE STEPS, MISS, I WOULD SAY AROUND MID AUGUST.

UH, THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME AT THIS TIME.

WE CAN'T DELIBERATE.

SO WE'D APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP BEFORE US SAID, GIVE US AN UPDATE.

AND I THINK, UH, MR. ALLEN SAMS, I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE BOXING MATCH, UH, LAST WEEKEND, LIKE YOU ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU GUYS.

UM, I DON'T THINK WE HAD ANY ONLINE SUBMITTALS.

SO COUNSEL, THAT IS IT FOR CITIZENS FORUM.

NEXT ITEM

[a. Case No. PD-SP-436-2022 – Conduct a public hearing and consider an application for a Planned Development-Site Plan on property zoned Planned Development District No. 2022-749 [Broadmoor Village] on approximately 14.232 acres generally located between South Joe Wilson Road and South Waterford Oaks Drive, south of East Belt Line Road with the approximate address being 2005 South Joe Wilson Road. Representative: Ryan Hartman, Spiars Engineering Applicant: Cody Bailey, Starlight Texas Homes, LLC Property Owner: Starlight Texas Homes, LLC]

UH, DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT HERE WITH US TODAY? ALL RIGHT.

OUR COUNCIL, UM, LET'S GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

AND IF YOU WANT TO TABLE AND WAIT FOR THE APPLICANT, WE CAN, OR WE CAN JUST OPEN IT UP FOR, UH, FOR MOTION.

SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR CASE NUMBER PD SP 4 3 6, 2022 FOR ELON, WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER PD S P 4 3 2 6, I'M SORRY, 4 3 6, 2022.

YOU WANT TO WISH THEM TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION, NOT SEE ANYONE APPROACH.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THAT PORTION, UH, OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, UH, COUNSEL THE FLOOR IS OPEN, UH, PRO-TEAM CMES.

I QUESTIONED FOR A PLANNING DIRECTOR.

YOU WAS WATCHING THE GAME.

SO THERE WERE A SERIES OF COMMITMENTS THAT WERE MADE BY THE DEVELOPER.

AND MY QUESTION REGARDING THIS IS, UH, HAVE, HAS THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, UM, COME IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE COMMITMENTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY MADE? YES, SIR.

I'M THE ONE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT FOR SIR? I THINK THERE WERE TWO, BUT ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT JUST RISES TO THE TOP OF MY MIND WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE ENTRANCE GATES.

UM, YOU MAY REMEMBER THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE JOINING NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ALLEY, UM, DID NOT WANT INDIVIDUAL GATES TO THE ALLEY.

UM, THEY WERE FINE WITH THE LIMITED NUMBER.

AND SO, UM, WHAT WE DID WITH THE APPLICANT TO GIVE TO US WAS AN EXHIBIT SHOWING THAT NOW THERE ARE ONLY THREE GATE ENTRANCES TO THAT ALLEY FROM, UM, THE ENTIRE PROPERTY BOUNDARY THAT ADJOINS THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ADDRESSED.

UM, THE SECOND THING THAT THEY ADDRESSED, AND THIS WAS AN, UM, ANYTHING REALLY THAT CAME UP FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IT WAS A STAFF ISSUE WAS JUST ABOUT THE GARAGE DOORS.

WE WANTED DECORATIVE GARAGE DOORS.

UM, SO THEY'VE ALSO MADE, UM, THAT CHANGE AS WELL.

SO THOSE ARE TWO, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT RISE TO THE TOP OF MY MIND, BUT THERE WERE OTHER, UM, CHANGES AS WELL THAT THEY DID TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PD ORDINANCE THAT WAS APPROVED.

UM, WHEN I WAS DOING, I WAS TRYING TO, UM, GET WITH THE PLANNER, UM, TO SEE, UM, WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE THEY WERE AWARE OF TONIGHT.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE NOT HERE ON OAK.

MAYBE THE WEATHER HELD THEM UP, BUT THEY WERE AWARE OF TONIGHT'S MEETING.

AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING BASED ON THE PREVIOUS, UM, PUBLIC HEARING THAT THE, UH, ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD WAS, UH, HIGHLY IN SUPPORT OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

WITH THOSE CHANGES, THE GATES WAS, YOU KNOW, THEIR BIG CONCERN.

YOU, UM, IF YOU COULD HOLD ONE SECOND, ARE THERE ANY OTHER COUPLES FOR, UH, UH, MS. STRINGFELLOW? UH, I GUESS THE PROPOSED ELEVATION ELEVATIONS, IS THAT, IS IT STILL PROPOSED? IS, WOULD THAT COME BEFORE COME? AND SO THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE THE LAST TIME, UM, THAT YOU ALL WOULD SEE THOSE.

UM, SO IF THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE, I'M HAPPY TO, UM, TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE TONIGHT.

PERSONALLY, I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE ANY BROWN ELEVATION.

SO I MEAN, THE, THE, UH, UH, THE EXTERIOR, UH, LIKE TO KIND OF SEE MORE OF A BRIGHTER HUE, UM, SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, NOT GONNA GET ANY SUPPORT FROM ME IF THEY KIND OF, YOU KNOW,

[00:20:01]

PROPOSE THAT.

SO, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE COLOR SPECIFIC COLOR TONES WE DID HAVE IN THE PD THAT THEY HAD TO HAVE A VARIETY.

UM, BASICALLY WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO IS TO AVOID THE MONOTONY.

UM, YOU KNOW, ONE THING THAT I REMEMBER WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING MORE RICHER COLOR TONES, UM, BECAUSE I THINK WHAT THEY WERE SHOWING LAST TIME, A LOT OF THE COLORS WERE MUTED.

SO I THINK THEY WERE ATTEMPTING, YOU KNOW, TO DO THAT.

UM, IT'S DARKER, BUT YES, YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE OF AN EARTH TONE AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, HAVING MORE OF THE COLORFUL COTTAGE TYPE LOOK.

UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, UH, COUNSEL, UM, HOLD ON ONE SECOND, YOU KNOW, COUNSEL, IT SOUNDS LIKE Y'ALL PROBABLY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.

I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THE PLANNING AND ZONING RECOMMENDATION REAL QUICK.

WHERE YOU ARE.

CAN YOU TELL THERE'S ANY CONDITIONS FROM PLANNING AND ZONING? SORRY.

AND SO THE CONDITIONS WERE THOSE, UM, THAT ARE LISTED IN THE STAFF REPORT.

KATIE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD PULL UP THEIR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT.

AND SO THESE WERE THE BEGINNING OF THOSE.

NOW A LOT OF THESE, YOU KNOW, OR, UM, SOME OF THEM WERE THINGS LIKE PAYING YOUR, THEIR PARK FEES, YOU KNOW, THOSE WILL HAVE TO BE DONE AS WELL AS, UM, BEFORE WITH THE PLAT, AS WELL AS SOME OTHER, UM, YOU KNOW, SITE PLAN, NOTHING THAT SIGNIFICANTLY IS GOING TO CHANGE THE LAYOUT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE RELATED TO, YOU KNOW, SPECIFIC FORMATS THAT STAFF LIKES TO SEE THESE PLANS SUBMITTED IN.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU, AND THEN THERE SOME ALSO YEAH, FROM PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AS WELL.

I SEE THE LANDSCAPE TREATMENT, IRRIGATION GRADING PERMIT.

UM, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THOSE.

UH, I GUESS MY, MY, UH, THE ONLY FEEDBACK, I GUESS I NEED TO SEE EITHER THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A CAP TO HAVE MORE VARIETY, OR ARE THEY JUST GOING TO HAVE TO GO AWAY WITH THE EURO'S TONE? CAUSE I'M ON SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT MORE BRIGHTER IN THAT AREA.

UM, ANY, ANYTHING ELSE COMES UP? YEAH, WELL, THEY'RE NOT HERE.

SO THEY GONNA, THEY GONNA GET, THEY CAN TAKE WHAT WE GIVE THEM.

OH, Y'ALL ARE HERE.

I WAS ASKING YOU, THE APPLICANT WAS HERE.

SOMEBODY SAID, IS THE APPLICANT HERE? I RAISED MY HANDS.

CAN YOU COME ON UP THEN? APOLOGIZE.

I DID.

I RAISED MY HAND A COUPLE OF TIMES.

MY NAME IS MATT DORSETT.

I'M ONE OF THE OWNERS THAT INSPIRES ENGINEERING.

OUR ADDRESS IS 765 CUSTER ROAD, SUITE 100 IN PLANO, TEXAS 75,075.

WE DO NOT HAVE A PRESENTATION AT P AND Z, THE STAFF PRESENTED.

AND WE WERE OBVIOUSLY HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO DO THAT NOW.

OKAY, PERFECT.

AND WE HAVE, UH, DANNY SASKIA AND CODY BAILEY BOTH WITH ASHTON WOODS AND STARLIGHT HOMES.

PERFECT.

AND I, I GUESS, UH, THE ELEVATIONS THAT WAS PROPOSED, UH, HERE, I MEAN, DID YOU PRESENT THOSE THAT SOMEBODY COULD SPEAK ON? OKAY.

COUNSELOR, DO YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OTHER THAN WHAT MY, WHAT I HAVE MAYOR WAS JUST SPECIFICALLY SINCE THERE WAS A PRETTY GOOD LIST OF P AND Z RECOMMENDATIONS, AS WELL AS PUBLIC WORKS, UH, YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, THAT THE APPLICANT WAS, UH, WAS, UH, AWARE OF ALL THESE, UH, SPECIFIC ITEMS, UH, AS A RECOMMENDED.

AND I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT WE'VE CONFIRMED THAT WE CAN ADDRESS EVERY ONE OF THEM WE'VE IN FACT ADDRESSED THEM, BUT WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO RESUBMIT IT UNTIL AFTER IT GETS APPROVED HERE.

AND THEN WE SUBMIT IT TO GET FINAL APPROVAL, BUT WE HAVE CONFIRMED EVERY ONE OF THOSE IS BEING MET.

ALRIGHT, PERFECT.

UM, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS MORE FOR THE, THE, THE ELEVATION.

I, I MENTIONED TO THE, I GUESS THE DEVELOPER, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MY PREFERENCE OF ME TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE OF THE EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS, UH, IN THAT AREA.

SO, BUT I SEE THE PROPOSED ELEVATION.

IT, IT COULD JUST BE A MOCK, I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT JUST SEEMED LIKE MORE OF A DARKER TONE IN THAT AREA.

AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I KIND OF ADD, BUT I HAD ENVISIONED.

SO YOU KIND OF, CAN YOU KIND OF SPEAK ON THAT? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FLEXIBLE TO THAT OR NOT, BUT SURE.

MA'AM FIRST OFF, MY NAME IS DANIEL SETS CAME THE VICE PRESIDENT OF LAND FOR STARLIGHT ASHTON WOODS OFFICE ADDRESS IS 1800 VALLEY VIEW PARKLAND IN FARMER SPRINGS, TEXAS, UH, MAYOR.

SO WE WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN, THERE'S A COLOR

[00:25:01]

PALETTE.

THE WHOLE INTENT WAS THAT WE DO HAVE SOME BARISTA PATIENT.

IT WAS NOT THIS MONOTONOUS SO WELL, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE'VE NAMED THE EXACT COLORS, BUT WE OBVIOUSLY WE'D LIKE TO TRY TO BE KEEP UP THE TIME.

SO I KNOW GRAYS AND WHITES ARE A LITTLE MORE POPULAR THAN BROWNS, BUT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS BUILDING DOESN'T LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THIS BUILDING NEXT TO IT, WE NEEDED TO COME UP WITH A GROUP OF COLORS AND BROWNS AND EARTH TONES ARE IN THAT NATURAL COLOR.

SO THE GOAL IS NOT TO HAVE IT ALL LOOK LIKE ONE HOMOGENOUS COMMUNITY, BUT TO ACTUALLY BE COMPLIMENTARY WITH THE DIFFERENT SHAPES.

SO AS WE FIND TWO, THIS ISN'T REALLY, THAT REALLY, I BELIEVE MIGHT HAVE CHANGED WHEN WE COME IN FOR BUILDING PERMIT.

THAT'S REALLY WHERE IT'S GOING TO GET SCRUTINIZED.

SO I MEAN, AS WE CAN TELL YOU WHAT THE GOAL IS, WE WANT TO OFFER YOU SOMETHING THAT'S APPEASING TO YOU AND TO YOUR STAFF.

SO, UH, I DON'T HAVE, UH, I'M NOT SURE WHAT RELATIONSHIP LOOKING AT IN FRONT OF YOU NOW, BUT I UNDERSTAND IF WE NEED TO, DURING THE BUILDING, YOU KNOW, THIS NEXT PROCESS, WE WANT TO IDENTIFY MORE GRAYS AND WHITES VERSUS BROWNS AND CREAMS, OR I DON'T KNOW, BUT THE GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE A COLOR PALETTE AND TO HAVE THE BUILDINGS, UH, WITH MONOTONY SO THAT THEY WERE NOT ADJACENT OR CROSS EACH OTHER.

SO THERE WAS THE APPARENT THAT THIS IS A TRACK COMMUNITY.

SURE.

FAIR ENOUGH, KATIE, YOU MIND PULLING UP THE PROPOSED BUILDING ELEVATION, JUST SO THE, ON THE SAME PAGE.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, KATIE.

AND AGAIN, THESE ARE RENDERINGS AND NEEDS YOUR COMPUTER.

SO I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO BE SURE.

I UNDERSTAND.

YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S, IT'S HARD TO MEAN THAT THAT'S THE ART, THAT'S A BROWN BREAK.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE BROWN THAT, THAT PROGRAM USES.

UM, WHAT WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO SHOW IS YOU'VE GOT MULTIPLE PRODUCT STYLES.

YOU'VE GOT A SHAKE STYLE, YOU'VE GOT A HORIZONTAL, YOU'VE GOT BRICK.

YOU'VE GOT THERE.

IT'S HARD TO GET THERE'S SOME CORBELS OR BRACKETS ABOVE THAT GARAGE WHERE THAT ONE GARAGE THERE'S AN EXTENSION OF ABOUT EIGHT, 10 INCHES OUT FURTHER.

SO WE WERE TRYING, THERE WAS SEVERAL ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS THAT WERE REQUIRED TO PRESENT ON EACH OF THE BUILDINGS AS WE ASSEMBLE THESE.

SO I THINK THIS WAS REALLY TRYING TO BE REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT THOSE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS COULD LOOK LIKE, BUT THE BROWN ITSELF, YES.

MAYOR WE CAN MEAN, I DON'T KNOW.

I WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO CALL THAT OTHER THAN PLATO BROWN.

UH, BUT IT, I WOULD ENCOURAGE HIM.

WE CAN DO THIS IS, YOU KNOW, WE, WE TRY TO BE VERY MODERN IN OUR DESIGNS AND I THINK YOU CAN LOOK IT ON OUR WEBSITE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE IT AND SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING IN OTHER CITIES, LIKE IN THE OWL AND OR IN, YOU KNOW, THE STATION WHERE WE DO TOWNHOME.

AND IT'S, I LIKE TO THINK THAT WE'RE ONE, IF BRICK IS AVAILABLE, WE TRY TO PICK THE TONES THAT THE CUSTOMERS WANT.

I MEAN, I THINK WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS BUILD SOMETHING THAT SAYS 1990S.

OKAY, WELL, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST, YOU KNOW, FOR A PREVIOUS TO, SO YOU WERE A PREVIOUS CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD WITH A DEVELOPER, UH, THEY, THEY DID THEIR DUE DILIGENCE.

THEY MET WITH THE NEIGHBORS, THEY MET WITH THE OTHER, THE ADJACENT HOMEOWNERS.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORTS AND THE TRANSPARENCY THAT THEY HAVE DONE UP TO THIS POINT.

UH, MY ONLY PREFERENCE WAS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE KIND OF THE BROWN CONSISTENTLY THROUGH THERE, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A VARIETY OR A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE MODERN, YOU KNOW, TONES THAT WE KIND OF SEE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY THING I HAVE ON THIS ONE.

ANYTHING ELSE? COUNSELING.

THANK YOU, SIR.

IF YOU'RE READY FOR A MOTION, I AM MAYER.

UH, I MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF CASE NUMBER PTSP 4 36 DASH 2022, UH, WITH ALL THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE, UM, APPROVED THROUGH THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION AND WITH THE STIPULATION OF THE, UH, THE, UH, DEVELOPER IS WILLING TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE COLOR PATTERN PALETTE.

WE HAVE A MOTION FROM PROTECH.

DO YOU HAVE A SECOND FROM CUSTOMER HAYDEN? UM, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COUNSELOR, ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE RIGHT HAND MOTION ANIMUS.

UH, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT I'VE TALKED TO THAT, UH, UTILIZE OUR CHAMBER AS A BOARDROOM SPACE IS WE'RE FILLING UP QUICK.

SO I KNOW THAT WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE ADDITIONAL SPACE THAT, UH, THAT ALLOWS OTHER PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO HOST EVENTS.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ANYONE ELSE WAS GOING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER CUP 4 3 1 2022, NOT SEE ANYONE APPROACH I'LL CLOSE THAT PORTION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNSEL.

THE FLOOR IS OPEN.

MAY I MOVE THAT? WE APPROVE CASE NUMBER CUP 4 3 1 2 0 2 2.

WE DO HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL FROM COUNCILOR HAYDEN.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? WE DO HAVE A SECOND FROM A COUNCIL MEMBER GLOVER.

UM, YOU MIND COMING UP FOR A SECOND? UH, I KNOW YOU WENT BEFORE P AND Z, BUT I JUST GOTTA ASK A P Z CONDITIONS

[00:35:01]

WITH THAT.

WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT OKAY.

SO THEN MAYBE RUN THROUGH THE CONDITIONS.

UH, THE CEP FOR OPERATION, UH, BANQUETS DEFINED AS FACILITY WHERE CEREMONIES AND RECEPTIONS ARE HELD, UH, AS WELL AS SEMINARS REUNIONS AND SIMILAR GATHERINGS RECORD, UH, RECORDED MUSIC OR ALIVE BANDS MAY BE, MAY PROVIDE MUSIC FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THE USE OPERATED IN OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SITE FOR PLAN, WHICH DELINEATES THE AREAS TO BE UTILIZED.

THAT'S JUST NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER TWO, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DOES NOT PERMIT THE SET OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES FOR ON-PREMISE CONSUMPTION.

YOU WEAR THAT NUMBER THREE.

UH, THERE SHALL BE NO OUTDOOR MUSIC AFTER 9:00 PM.

YOU OKAY WITH THAT? I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT IT.

UM, SINCE WE'RE NEXT DOOR TO, UM, TO A EVENT PLACE, UM, WE'RE NEXT, DIRECTLY, NEXT DOOR TO VERACRUZ AND THEIR HOURS OF OPERATION.

UM, THERE IS MUSIC, NOT THAT WE HAVE PLANS ON IT BY NO MEANS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS OUTDOOR, UM, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.

SO I WAS WONDERING WHY THE RESTRICTION, SO WHAT YOU, ASSUMING THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE CONDITIONS, IF YOU ARE AWARE OF AN EVENT THAT MAY, UM, YOU KNOW, HAVE, YOU KNOW, LIKE A ONE DAY EVENT TO BE ABLE TO GET PERMISSION FROM, FROM THE CITY, THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GO AND SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AND SAY, HEY, I'M HAVING A, A BIG WEDDING.

AND ON THIS DAY, BE ABLE TO HAVE MAYBE SOME POTENTIAL OUTDOOR, YOU KNOW, AFTER NINE O'CLOCK, THEN YOU HAVE TO GET APPROVAL JUST FROM THE CITY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME BEFORE COUNCIL JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH STAFF, BUT IT DOESN'T RESTRICT INDOOR.

CORRECT.

BUT FROM EVERYDAY DAILY OPERATIONS, YES.

RIGHT NOW WE WILL BE APPROVING IT TO BE, UH, RESTRICTED AFTER 9:00 PM.

SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE OTHER BUSINESSES ARE DOING AND MAYBE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

I DON'T KNOW.

I CAN'T SPEAK ON THAT, BUT THE TWO IN ORDER TO BE COMPLIANT, THAT WOULD BE WHAT I'LL RECOMMEND.

UH, NUMBER FOUR, THIS CONDITION, UH, PERMITS, UH, EXCLUSE UH, X, THIS PERMIT EXCLUDES THE USE OF GAMES OF CHANCE GAMBLING LIKE DEVICES, VIRGINS BEING KENO, BLACKJACKS LOTTERY, ROULETTE, VIDEO POKER, EIGHT LINER, UH, SIMILAR ELECTRONICS, ELECTRICAL MECHANICAL, AND MECHANICAL GAMES OR EFFECTS OF FACSIMILE.

OH, I'M NOT HERE.

I'M SORRY.

SO, AND I GUESS THE LAST UPON APPROVAL OF THIS CUP, THE APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A REVISED CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY APPLICATION.

SO THOSE FIVE CONDITIONS.

SO WITH THAT, WE DO HAVE A MOTION.

AND, AND BECAUSE OF THAT MOTION, AND I APPRECIATE THE MAYOR READING THOSE OUT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES WHEN PEOPLE COME IN HERE AND THEY GO TO P AND Z AND THEY GET AN APPROVAL FROM P AND Z AND IT'S SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

SO SOMETIMES WE GET UP HERE AND SIT AND THINK, OKAY, YOU'RE, YOU'RE AWARE OF THOSE CONDITIONS YOU HEARD AT P AND Z THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, WHAT THOSE CONDITIONS WERE ON THEIR APPROVAL, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.

MAYOR, I THINK WE NEED TO REALLY READ THESE OUT TO MAKE SURE, CAUSE IT'LL LET ME KNOW NOW THAT YOU WEREN'T FULLY AWARE OF WHEN YOU WERE APPROVED, WHAT THOSE CONDITIONS WERE.

SO I WOULD, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO, TO GO AHEAD AND REVIEW THAT WHEN YOU DO IT.

SO YOU'LL KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO FOLLOW, EVEN THOUGH HE'S READ THEM NOW, IT'S PROBABLY HARD TO REMEMBER.

IT'S ALL GOOD.

EASY TO WHAT YOU READ WAS EASY TO FOLLOW, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERING WHAT WE DO, BUT, BUT, UH, IT'S GLAD THAT YOU COME TO CEDAR HILL WITH THAT.

IT LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY COOL OPERATION.

AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SEE ME BRING SOMETHING GREAT TO THE SAVING.

DO WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE WITH US THIS EVENING? YES, SIR.

PLEASE.

COME ON NOW, WOULD YOU LIKE TO PRESENT ANYTHING BEFORE COUNCIL OR ART?

[00:55:01]

JUST INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

I JUST INTRODUCED MYSELF READY? GARFIELD GARFIELD, PUBLIC PRIVATE 63 0 6 STONEHILL DRIVE, DALLAS, TEXAS.

NICE TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU MUCH.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THAT? OKAY.

SURE.

UM, SO I JUST WANT TO STAY FOR THE RECORD.

I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH, UH, RAY GARFIELD BEFORE IN A DIFFERENT CAPACITY, IN A DIFFERENT CITY IN OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS.

UH, WE, UM, AS THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, THERE WAS MY PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WAS, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CONVENTION CENTER AND THE CONVENTION CENTER HOTEL.

UH, THAT PLACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO PLANO AND FOR YEARS AND YEARS, AND YEARS, AND YEARS AND YEARS, WE COULD NOT GET A HOTEL AND YOUR FIRM, UH, ASSISTED US IN THAT PROCESS.

AND VERY MUCH SO, APPRECIATE YOUR WORK THERE.

LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU WORKING THE SAME KIND OF MIRACLES HERE, BECAUSE, UH, UH, WE, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THAT UNDERWAY.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

UH, THE DOCUMENTS SAID THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE MARKET STUDY, AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE OUTSIDE FIRMS LIKE CB RE CVRE THAT DO THAT.

AND I THINK W WHAT'S THE OTHER FIRM HBS HBS.

AND, UH, THOSE ARE THE TWO BIG FIRMS THAT DO THESE, BUT IT SAYS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO THE MARKET STUDY.

WOULD YOU CLARIFY THAT FOR THE, FOR THE RECORD, WE'LL DO MAYOR PRO TEM.

WE, UH, WE HAVE THE IN-HOUSE ABILITY TO DO THIS FASTER AND PROBABLY LESS EXPEND, MORE, LESS EXPENSIVELY THAN IF WE WENT TO ONE OF THE MAJOR FIRMS. AND WE DISCUSSED THIS, UH, IN A MEETING EARLIER WITH YOU.

UM, IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT WE HAVE, UH, A WELL-RECOGNIZED NATIONAL FIRM COMPLETE A MARKET STUDY PRIOR TO BONDS BEING.

SO IT WOULD, THE PROCEEDS OF WHICH WOULD BE USED TO CONSTRUCT THE NEW HOTEL AND CONVENTION FACILITY.

UM, AND SO THAT WOULD BE A FIRM LIKE CVRE HOTELS.

IT COULD BE HVS, UM, MAYBE ONE OR TWO OTHER FIRMS WITH THOSE, I THINK ARE THE TWO MOST PROMINENT FIRMS. RIGHT.

UM, BUT AS WE ALSO DISCUSSED, IT'S VERY LIKELY TO BE AT LEAST A YEAR BEFORE YOU'RE READY TO GO TO, UH, THE RATING AGENCIES ON WALL STREET STANDARD AND POOR'S, OR MOODY'S TO GET THE BONDS RATED.

AND THAT'S WHEN THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE CURRENT MARKET STUDY AT THAT TIME.

SO THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE AT LEAST A SECOND MARKET STUDY AND OUR COMPANY, NOW WE HAVE JEFF BENFORD.

JEFF WAS WITH CVRE FOR YEARS AND ACTUALLY PERFORMED ON BEHALF OF OUR MUNICIPAL CLIENTS AROUND THE STATE AND, AND, UH, PARTICULARLY AROUND THE STATE, BECAUSE JEFF IS FROM TEXAS.

UM, THESE MARKET STUDIES, HE'S JUST EXCELLENT AT IT AND UNDERSTANDS THE CONVENTION CENTER AND THE HEADQUARTERS HOTEL ASPECT OF IT REALLY WELL.

UM, SO I THINK WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO, UH, TURN OUT, UH, A MARKET STUDY THAT WE COULD UTILIZE, UH, AND, UH, COMBINING WITH, UM, UH, A SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR THE HOTEL SIZE, UH, SQUARE FOOTAGE, UH, AND, UH, WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THAT MARKET STUDY OF AVERAGE DAILY RATE OCCUPANCY, UH, REVENUES PER AVAILABLE ROOM, THEN TURN THAT INTO A FINANCIAL PLAN THAT WOULD THEN ALLOW US TO SAY TO THE CITY, WHAT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES, HOW THEY'RE SPLIT, WHAT THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAN INVEST IN THIS PROPERTY, AND THEN WHAT THE PUBLIC SECTOR NEEDS TO ALSO INVEST.

SO I THINK WE'RE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT, BUT WE'RE VERY WILLING AT YOUR DIRECTION TO OUTSOURCE THAT IF YOU'D LIKE US TO DO THAT, NO, I'M NOT.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO STAY FOR THE RECORD THAT YOU DO HAVE THE EXPERTISE IN-HOUSE TO DO THAT.

SECOND QUESTION.

WOULD YOU JUST VERY BRIEFLY MISS SOME OF THE CURRENT OR RECENT PROJECTS THAT YOUR FARM HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN, UM, AROUND, AROUND THE COUNTRY, JUST FOR THE RECORD, JUST SOME DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE RECENTLY HAPPY TO DO.

SO, AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 25 YEARS.

UM, AT THE MOMENT WE HAVE THREE CONVENTION CENTER HOTELS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, ALL IN TEXAS, WE'RE BUILDING A HYATT REGENCY HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER FOR THE CITY OF BAYTOWN.

WE'RE BUILDING A HYATT REGENCY CONVENTION CENTER AND HOTEL FOR THE CITY OF CONROE, TEXAS.

AND WE'RE BUILDING A DOUBLETREE BY HILTON FOR THE CITY OF ABILENE AND DOWNTOWN ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEIR EXISTING, UH, CONVENTION CENTER AND AUDITORIUM.

UH, IN 2019, WE DELIVERED THE WESTERN IRVING CONVENTION CENTER HEADQUARTERS HOTEL IN LAS COLINAS, WHICH IRVING HAD TRIED TO DO FOR 15 YEARS.

AND WE, UH, WE WERE, I THINK THE FIFTH

[01:00:01]

DEVELOPER HIRED, UH, OVER THAT, UH, 15 YEAR PERIOD BEFORE THEY ENGAGED US.

AND WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH GETTING IT FINANCE AND GETTING IT OPEN.

I, I JUST WANT TO, UM, FIRST OF ALL, SAY I'M, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT SEEING THIS PROJECT GET GOING AGAIN.

UH, I KNOW IT WAS ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE QUESTIONS THAT, THAT WE RECEIVE WHEN YOU KNOW, THAT I RECEIVED, ESPECIALLY WHEN, WHEN WE GO TO COMMUNITY GATHERINGS, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER.

UM, AND, UH, SO IF YOU COULD JUST ELABORATE SOME OF THE HOTEL CHAINS AND THINGS THAT YOU'VE WORKED WITH, I KNOW THAT YOUR TAJ HOSPITALITY IS NO LONGER PART OF THE PROJECT.

AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS WE ARE RELAUNCHING THE, THE EFFORT TO, TO GET A CONVENTION CENTER AND HOTEL HERE.

SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER HOTEL BRANDS TO PARTNER WITH? I HEARD YOU MENTIONED HYATT REGENCY, UM, WE'RE DOUBLETREE.

WE WERE VERY, UH, UM, WE HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THE MAJOR BRANDS MARRIOTT, WHICH OF COURSE ACQUIRED STARWOOD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

SO THAT'S A WESTERN HOTEL THAT WE BUILT IN IRVING, UH, WAS STARWOOD AT THE MOMENT WE NEGOTIATED WITH THEM.

AND THEN BY THE TIME WE BROKE GROUND, IT WAS MARRIOTT THAT, THAT OWNED THEM.

UM, SO I THINK MARRIOTT HAS 35 DIFFERENT BRANDS THAT, UH, THAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER, UH, HILTON AS A NUMBER OF BRANDS.

THE DOUBLETREE WE'RE BUILDING IN ABALENE IS REALLY, UM, STYLED FOR ABILENE AND, AND, AND, AND, UH, THEIR ABILITY TO, TO AFFORD A FULL SERVICE HOTEL, BUT AN ENTRY-LEVEL FULL SERVICE HOTEL, YOU KNOW, UM, CERTAINLY HYATT.

WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH HYATT AS WELL.

UH, WE'VE WORKED WITH INTERCONTINENTAL BEFORE, WHICH IS A GREAT, UH, BRAND, BUT, UM, UH, AN INTERCONTINENTAL IS A FIVE STAR LUXURY HOTEL.

UM, BELOW THAT THOUGH, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY A CROWN PLAZA OR HOLIDAY INN OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

SO WE, WE THINK THAT MARRIOTT, HILTON AND HYATT, OR THE, THE, THE BETTER BRANDS FOR A CONVENTION CENTER HEADQUARTERS HOTEL.

YEP.

SO, SO THIS CONTRACT TONIGHT BEFORE COUNCIL, UH, YOU WILL, YOU WILL MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION STAFF WILL KIND OF GIVE YOU THE NOD IN THE WEEK, AND THEN IT'S YOUR JOB TO KIND OF CLOSE THE DEAL TO SAY, YOU'RE THE BRAND FOR CEDAR HILL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, COUNSEL.

UM, QUICK QUESTION I HAVE, UM, AFTER YOU HAVE, I GUESS AFTER YOU DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, YOU HAVE YOUR DATA, UM, YOU KNOW, HOW DOES IT WORK? I MEAN, WHEN YOU HAVE, WHEN YOU WILL, YOU PROVIDE THE TOP THREE, UH, BRANDS OR THE BRAND WITHIN THE FAMILY, AND THEN COUNCIL OR STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, GIVE, UH THE GREEN LIGHT TO SAY, WE WANT TO PURSUE THAT BRAND, OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? WELL, I THINK WE'RE GONNA RECOMMEND, UM, AND CERTAINLY YOU LOOK AT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND SEE WHAT OTHER BRANDS ARE OUT THERE.

OF COURSE THERE'S NOT A FULL SERVICE HOTEL, UH, AROUND US HERE.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO CHOOSE FROM.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FULL SERVICE, IF, IF THE MARKET STUDY SUGGEST YOU GO THAT DIRECTION, WE BELIEVE THAT HEADQUARTERS HOTELS SHOULD BE FULL SERVICE AND NOT LIMITED OR, OR SELECT SERVICE BRANDS.

UH, SO, UH, TO THAT EXTENT, THAT'S HOW I KNOW JEFF BENFORD AND STEVE GALBREATH, OUR CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER.

UH, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT IT WHEN THEY DO THAT MARKET STUDY WILL IN THAT MARKET STUDY, WE'LL RECOMMEND THE BRANDS.

UM, WE, WE CERTAINLY, AT THAT POINT, WE'LL TAKE ALL THE INPUT FROM THE CITY AND, AND WITH YOUR DIRECTION, WE'LL BEGIN A NEGOTIATION WITH, WITH ONE OF THE BRANDS, UH, TO NEGOTIATE EITHER A FRANCHISE, UH, OR A IN, IN HERE, IN THIS GREAT DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THAT THE BRANDS MAY ABSOLUTELY WANT TO MANAGE IT THEMSELVES.

IF WE WERE BUILDING A, UM, A, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE HUNDRED ROOM HOTEL, UH, IN, UH, AWAY FROM A MAJOR POPULATION CENTER, WE PROBABLY LOOK AT A THIRD PARTY MANAGER FOR THE HOTEL, BUY A FRANCHISE, STILL BRANDED A HILTON OR A HYATT OR A MARRIOTT, UM, BUT HAVE A THIRD PARTY OPERATING THE HOTEL.

AND, UM, BUT STILL USING THE RESERVATION SYSTEM OF THE MAJOR BRAND ITSELF.

UH, HERE, I THINK WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE SOME MONEY BY NEGOTIATING AN OPERATING AGREEMENT WITH THE BRAND ITSELF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THAT THEY ALREADY MANAGE A NUMBER OF HOTELS WITHIN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH MARKETPLACE.

SO THERE'LL BE ABLE TO HIRE THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES AND, UH, PERHAPS HAVE A COST SAVINGS IN, UH, IN, IN THE, UH, LAYERS OF FEES THAT THESE BRANDS NORMALLY CHARGE.

SO THAT'S OUR GOAL IS TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A BRAND MANAGED.

[01:05:01]

IS THAT, IS THAT PART OF THE CONTRACT, CORRECT MAYOR.

YES, SIR.

UH, ANOTHER QUESTION FROM CUSTOMER GLOVER, THANK YOU JUST TO SET THE EXTRA BIT, THE EXPECTATIONS, A FULL SERVICE UNLIMITED SERVICE SERVICE, OR SELECT SERVICE.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE WELL, UM, YEARS AGO USED TO BE CALLED LIMITED SERVICE.

SELECT SERVICE SOUNDED BETTER THAN LIMITED SERVICE.

SO THEY STARTED CALLING THEM TO SERVICES, HOTELS, SELECT SERVICE, AND SOME ARE FOCUSED SERVICE, UH, AND SOME ARE BOUTIQUE.

UM, FULL SERVICE HOTELS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY HAVING A, UM, UH, A FULL KITCHEN, UH, THREE MEAL A DAY RESTAURANT, VERY NICE BAR.

UM, YOUR, UH, YOUR WORKOUT AREAS, UM, AND MEETING SPACE.

I MEAN, THAT'S PART OF THE CONVENTION CENTER IN WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO HAVE HERE IS A GREAT BALLROOM AND IN SOME BOARD ROOMS AND MEETING ROOMS, PRE-FUNCTION AREAS AND ALL OF THAT ALL SUPPORTED BY A MAJOR BANQUET KITCHEN.

AND, UH, SO THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE OPERATION CAN, CAN FLOW EASILY FROM THE HOTEL ITSELF INTO THE BALLROOM SPACE AND THE MEETING ROOM SPACE.

UH, SO FULL SERVICE HOTEL IS GROWING ALSO HAVE PROBABLY HIGHER CEILING HEIGHTS, SOME WIDER CORRIDORS, UH, SOME BETTER FINISHES.

SO IT'S GONNA REALLY FEEL GREAT FOR THE ASSOCIATIONS AND THE CONVENTIONS COME AND VISIT THIS CITY FOR TWO AND THREE-DAY MEETINGS AT A TIME.

THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IS ACCOMPLISH BEING ABLE TO GET A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS A NIGHT ROOM SOLD TWO AND THREE NIGHTS AT A TIME, HAVE A HAVE, HAVE THE FOLKS THAT ARE HERE, UH, HAVE A GREAT DINNER AT A THREE MEAL RESTAURANT FOOD AND BEVERAGE REVENUES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS AS WELL.

SO IT IS A GREAT TAX GENERATOR FOR ANY COMMUNITY THAT, THAT TAKES THIS STEP.

SO WE, UH, WE'RE EXCITED FOR YOU.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERING OUR FIRM TO HELP LEAD THIS EFFORT WITH YOU.

THAT IS ALL THE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

UM, SO WITH THAT BEFORE IT'S OPEN FOR, OKAY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF, UM, PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH GARFIELD PUBLIC, PRIVATE LLC FOR PRE-DEVELOPMENT SERVICE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVENTION CENTER AND HEADQUARTERS HOTEL.

SECOND, DO YOU HAVE A MOTION FROM PROTIUM SAMS? WE HAVE A SECOND CUSTOMER MCCURDY, UH, ALL THE FAVORITE PINGS RAISE RATE IN MOVING ENEMIES.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT'D BE GREAT WORKING WITH YOU.
