Dec 13, 2022 City Council Regular Meeting

UM, SO ON JUNE 1ST, ABOUT TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, OFFICERS GOT DISPATCHED TO A CALL AT APARTMENT COMPLEX.

THE OFFICERS WERE FAMILIAR WITH THIS COMPLEX AS THEY HAD BEEN THERE BEFORE FOR A STALKING INCIDENT WITH AN EX-BOYFRIEND.

THE CALL CAME IN AS AN EX-BOYFRIEND HOLDING, UH, A VICTIM WITH A KNIFE.

WHEN THE EX-BOYFRIEND ENTERED THE HOME, THE DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE THE RESIDENCE AND FLEE TO A NEARBY APARTMENT WHERE THE NEIGHBOR WAS ABLE TO CALL 9 1 1 AS THE NEIGHBORS ON THE PHONE WITH NINE ONE ONE ONE, YOU CAN HEAR THE WOMAN SCREAMING AND PLEADING FOR HELP.

WHEN THE OFFICERS ARRIVE, THEY HEAR HER INSIDE PLEADING FOR HER LIFE.

THEY PUT TOGETHER A QUICK PLAN TO TAKE SWIFT ACTION, AND THEY CHOSE TO KICK IN THE DOOR.

THE SUBJECT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE, BARRICADING THE DOOR IN.

THEY WERE ABLE TO FORCE THEIR WAY IN.

AND WHEN THEY ENTERED, THE SUSPECT HAD A GUN AND RAISED IT TOWARDS THE OFFICERS.

THEY WERE ABLE TO GRAB THE SUSPECT'S ARM, TACKLE HIM TO THE GROUND, AND WRESTLE THE FIREARM AWAY FROM HIM.

THE WOMAN WAS ABLE TO FLEE A SAFETY.

THEY TOOK HIM INTO CUSTODY WITHOUT ANY INJURY.

AND SO IT'S FOR THOSE ACTIONS THAT THESE THREE OFFICERS ARE BEING AWARDED THE MEDAL OF BALLARD.

SO FIRST OF ALL, HINTON CORPORAL HINTON, CORPORAL FOLKS, OFFICER MORRISON, IF WE COULD PLEASE.

SO, APPRECIATION FOR, SO JUST AS A FOLLOW UP, THE SUSPECT IN THIS CASE WAS FOUND GUILTY ON CHARGES OF STALKING, SENTENCED TO 20 YEARS RESISTING ARREST, SENTENCED TO 20 YEARS UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A FIREARM BY A FELON POSSESSION, UH, UH, UH, CONVICTION OF 20 YEARS, AND BURGLARY OF HABITATION WITH INTENT TO COMMIT, ASSAULT, UH, CONVICTION WITH 25 YEARS.

SO HE'S NOT GONNA DO HER HARM ANYMORE.

THANK GOT HIM OFF THE STREET.

I PROBABLY WON'T BE STANDING HERE RIGHT NOW.

AND I JUST WANNA THANK YOU.

I'M BLESSED FOR YOU GUYS FOR COMING THAT DAY, CUZ UM, 10 MINUTES FELT LIKE 10 HOURS.

AND WHEN I GOT THAT CALL, I WAS LIKE, OH NO, WHAT I DID NOW , WHEN JESSICA CALLED, CALLED ME WHEN SHE'S LIKE THIS CEDAR HILL POLICE, MY HEART JUST DROPPED CUZ I'M LIKE, OH, I DIDN'T DO NOTHING.

IN MY MIND, I AIN'T DO NOTHING.

ALL

[5. Citizens Forum/Public Comments. Citizens wishing to speak during this time should submit a Speaker Request Form to the City Secretary before the meeting begins. 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. ]

RIGHT.

NEXT ITEM ON THE PRESENTATION IS CITIZENS FORUM.

THIS GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO HEAR CITIZENS ABOUT ANY, UH, ITEM THAT THEY WANT TO DISCUSS.

UH, IF IT IS ITEM THAT'S, UM, ON THE AGENDA, THE COUNCIL WILL ADDRESS THAT ITEM, IF NOT, AND IT COULD BE REFERRED TOWARDS STAFF OR, UM, OR, UH, ANYONE WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT.

SO FIRST I HAVE IS, UH, KIM RIMER AND THE TOPIC IS MATCHING GRANT.

MS. RIMMER, IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND ALSO YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

YOU HAVE WHAT? KIM RIMMER 6 0 3 LEMON STREET.

TONIGHT MY TOPIC IS MATCHING GRANT.

I DON'T COME TONIGHT TO SPEAK FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD, BUT I DO COME TO SPEAK AS A CITIZEN MEMBER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD, OF WHICH I'VE BEEN A MEMBER FOR THE LAST NINE AND A HALF YEARS.

THE MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM HAS THREE VERY STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS BEFORE ANYBODY CAN APPLY FOR A MATCHING GRANT.

THOSE ARE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD MUST ORGANIZE FORMALLY AND REGISTER WITH THE CITY.

THEY MUST BE OPEN TO ALL NEIGHBORS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY MUST, UM, OPEN A SEPARATE BANK ACCOUNT FOR THE ORGANIZATION.

ONCE THIS IS VERIFIED, BUT BY THE, UM, CITY STAFF, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD THEN RECEIVES THEIR MATCHING GRANT APPLICATION.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD TAKES OUR FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY.

WE REVIEW ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION.

WE SCRUTINIZE EVERY FACT, EVERY FIGURE, EVERY RECEIPT.

WE ALSO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE WITH STIPULATIONS, SUCH AS RELEASING PARTIAL FUNDS SO THAT MATERIALS CAN BE PURCHASED.

AND THEN ONCE WE SEE WORK BEING DONE AND WE RE RECEIVE THE RECEIPTS FROM THE BUILDING MATERIALS BEING PURCHASED, WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO RELEASE THE REST OF THOSE FUNDS.

WHAT I SAW UNFOLD ON NOVEMBER 8TH UNDERMINE EVERYTHING, ALL THE HARD WORK, ALL THE DILIGENCE, THE DEDICATION, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD PUTS INTO VETTING THESE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS.

FURTHERMORE, I REVIEWED, I DID AN OPEN RECORDS REQUEST AND I REVIEWED EVERY EMAIL RECEIVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITIZEN FORUM.

NOT ONE OF THOSE EMAILS OPPOSED THE MATCHING GRANT COUNCIL.

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU'VE ALLOWED YOURSELVES TO BE SUCKED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD POLITICS, SOMETHING THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD IS VERY CAREFUL NOT TO GET SUCKED INTO.

THE NEIGHBORS OF SLEEPY HOLLOW DID EVERYTHING THEY WERE ASKED TO DO, EVERYTHING REQUIRED OF THEM.

AND NOW ON THE EDGE EDGE, THEY SEEM TO SEE THEIR DREAM OF THIS MATCHING GRANT RESTORING THEIR SIGNS BEING YANKED OUT FROM UNDER THEM ALL

[00:15:01]

TONIGHT, I'LL CLOSE WITH THIS.

PROVERBS 29, 2 SAYS, WHEN THE GODLY RULE, THE PEOPLE REJOICE.

I AM ASKING YOU TONIGHT TO RULE WITH GODLINESS.

UH, NEXT, UH, NEXT, UH, CITIZEN IS I BELIEVE IT'S, UH, DANA PHILLIPS, OR IS IT RENA PHILLIPS? WELL, IT'S, YEAH.

RAIN PHILLIPS, RENA PHILLIPS.

LAST, UH, THE LAST PERSON SPEAK ON TOP COMMENT.

UH, LARRY, PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

I WANT IT TO BE LAST ALSO.

BUTT.

I'LL GO HERE.

UM, I HAVE A SHORT STATEMENT HERE.

MY NAME IS LARRY SING BUSCH.

I LIVE AT 9 0 4 PEBBLESTONE COURT AND SLEEPY HOLLOW.

UH, THE NO BOARD IS CLEARLY TRYING TO PUSH THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL DESIRES FOR OLD SIGNED RESTORATION ON A NEIGHBORHOOD WHO WANTS NEW SIGNED DESIGNS.

UH, I I HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING HERE.

UM, IN OUR, IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, THERE'S 85 HOUSEHOLDS THAT WANT NUDE SIGNED DESIGNS.

I TOOK THE VOTE, THERE'S, UH, 36 THAT WANT OLD SIGNED DESIGNS.

UM, I HAVE SENT MULTIPLE EMAILS TO THE NOSH BOARD STATING THE TRUE OVERWHELMING SUPPORT.

BUT NASH NEVER RESPONDED TO MY INFORMATION, BUT WENT AHEAD IN THEIR PLANS FOR THE OLD SIGNS TO BE RESTORED.

KNOWING THIS, THEY APPLIED FOR THE GRANT WITH DATA FROM THEIR QUESTIONNAIRE, WHICH WAS REALLY NOT A VOTE OR ANY TANGIBLE SOLUTION FOR THE DILEMMA OF THE SIGNS.

THE QUESTIONNAIRE REVEALED 17 HOUSEHOLDS IN FAVOR OF OLD SIGNS IN THEIR GRANT APPLICATION.

THEY MADE THE STATEMENT AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS FAVOR RESTORING AND REPLACING THE OLD EXISTING SIGNS.

THEY SAY 83.3% VOTED IN EITHER FAVOR OR REST, RESTORING AND REPLACING THE ORIGINAL SIGNS.

UH, THEIR DATA SHOWS ONLY 8% OF A HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE EIGHTY FOUR HOUSEHOLDS, WHICH MAKES MAKEUP SLEEPY HOLLOW.

THEY'RE ALSO TRYING TO MAKE THE DATA SEEM LIKE A MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORS WANT THE OLD SIGNS, WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT THE FACT.

UM, I, IF, UH, THEY DO RECEIVE THE MONEY, I WISH THEY WOULD DO WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY SAID THEY WOULD DO, WHICH WAS TO ACTUALLY COME TO THE NEIGHBORS AND TRULY FIND OUT WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS.

THEY HAVE NOT DONE THAT.

THEY HAVE NEVER DONE THAT.

I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THEM GETTING THE MONEY, BUT I AM OPPOSED TO THEM USING THE MONEY IN A WAY THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORS DON'T WANT.

AND IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH ME, I'D LOVE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH THEM.

I'VE EMAILED THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO GIVE ME THE MINUTES OF THEIR MEETINGS, SHOW ME THEIR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, SHOW ME THEIR, UH, THEIR, UH, UH, UH, FOUNDING PA TIME, TIME, UH, UH, MS. SIMBU.

NEXT CITIZEN IS MATT CHAPEL.

TOPIC IS MATCHING GRANT REIMBURSEMENT NA SIGN PROJECT.

COMPLETE REDESIGN AND RE REPLACEMENT.

MAYOR COULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

SURE.

MATTHEW CHAPEL, 8 0 9 SLEEPY HOLLOW DRIVE.

SO, GOOD EVENING, CITY LEADERS.

UH, I COME BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING TO SPEAK ONCE AGAIN IN SUPPORT OF THE MATCHING GRANT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE SLEEPY HOLLOW NEIGHBORHOOD SIGN RESTORATION PROJECT SUBMITTED BY THE NEIGHBORS OF SLEEPY HOLLOW ORGANIZATION, ALSO KNOWN AS NASH.

YOU'LL REMEMBER THAT THIS APPLICATION WAS PROMPTED BY THE RESULTS OF A NEIGHBORHOOD SURVEY PERFORMED BY NOSH LAST SUMMER TO GAUGE INTEREST IN SIGN RESTORATION VERSUS A

[00:20:01]

YOU'LL RECALL THAT THE RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY, WHICH WAS MAILED TO ALL 183 RESIDENTS, WAS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTIVE OF SIGN RESTORATION OVER REPLACEMENT.

YOU'LL ALSO RECALL THAT UNFORTUNATELY, ONLY AROUND 20 NEIGHBORS RESPONDED TO THIS SURVEY LAST MONTH.

BECAUSE OF THIS LOW SURVEY PARTICIPATION, COUNCIL TABLED THE DECISION TO APPROVE OR DENY THE GRANT REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTING THAT NOSH READMINISTER THE SURVEY AND PROVIDE THE NEW RESULTS.

WHILE I UNDERSTAND COUNCIL'S REASONING AND TABLING THIS DECISION TO SOLIDIFY CONSENSUS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE TIME AND EFFORT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY REPORT PUT INTO ANALYZING, RESEARCHING, AND ULTIMATELY RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS GRANT APPLICATION SHOULDN'T BE IGNORED.

I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD REACHED THIS CONCLUSION BASED ON NAUSEOUS ORIGINAL SURVEY RESULTS, AS WELL AS ANY POINTS OF CONTENTION FROM THE OPPOSITION.

WHILE I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS COUNCIL IS NOT OBLIGATED TO CON CONCUR WITH THEIR ADVISORY BOARDS, I CAN UNDERSTAND AS A MEMBER OF ONE OF THIS COUNCIL'S ADVISORY BOARDS MYSELF, THAT IT CAN BE DEMORALIZING AND DEMOTIVATING FOR A VOLUNTEER CITIZEN BOARD WHEN COUNCIL REJECTS ONE OF THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS.

THEREFORE, IF THIS MATCHING GRANT IS REJECTED BY COUNCIL TONIGHT, WHICH I SINCERELY HOPE IT IS NOT, I ASK THAT COUNCIL SHARE THEIR REASONING FOR REJECTION WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD SO THAT THEY CAN LEARN TO BETTER MEET COUNCIL'S EXPECTATIONS IN THE FUTURE.

ALL OF THIS SAID NASH HAS PERFORMED ANOTHER SURVEY AS YOU REQUESTED, AGAIN THROUGH THE US MAIL, AS WELL AS ONLINE.

THIS SURVEY GARNERED MORE THAN DOUBLE THE RESPONSES OF THE ONE PREVIOUS.

THIS TIME, 45 OF THE 46 RESPONDING SLEEPY HOLLOW HOUSEHOLDS ARE IN FAVOR OF SIGN RESTORATION, ONLY ONE OPPOSED, AND THEREFORE, IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE MATCHING GRANT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS PROJECT.

CITY LEADERS NASH HAS DONE FAR MORE THAN ITS DUE DILIGENCE TO PROVE THAT THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT OF ENGAGED SLEEPY HOLLOW NEIGHBORS, THAT IS THE NEIGHBORS WHO CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THIS PROJECT TO RESPOND TO A SURVEY THAT EVERY HOUSE RECEIVED.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS COUNCIL'S OWN NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDED FUNDING THE PROJECT MONTHS AGO BASED ON ITS OWN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT AND ITS SUPPORT WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN SLEEPY HALL'S 30 PLUS YEAR LIFESPAN AS MANY OF ITS CURRENT AND FORMER RESIDENTS WILL ATTEST IT HAS NEVER HAD A SUCCESSFUL NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION.

SO LET'S REWARD THE DILIGENCE AND COMMITMENT OF THESE DEDICATED NOSH OFFICERS.

LET'S GIVE SOME RELIEF TO OUR NEIGHBORS.

SURVEY FATIGUE.

LET'S BEAUTIFY AND IMPROVE SOME LONG, NEGLECTED FEATURES OF ONE OF CEDAR HILL'S SIGNATURE NEIGHBORHOODS.

LET'S APPROVE THE MATCHING GRANT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THANK YOU.

NEXT CITIZEN I HAVE IS, UH, BILLY BALLENGEE.

TOPIC IS FIRE DEPARTMENT SERVICE.

COMMENT THAT I WANTED THE LEADERS TO KNOW.

COULD I GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? BILLY BALLENGEE, 1649 PROMONTORY DRIVE.

ON OCTOBER THE NINTH OF THIS YEAR, UH, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ENTERTAINING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AT OUR HOME WHO HAD COME IN FROM TRUTHFULLY ALL OVER THE PLANET FOR OUR DAUGHTER'S WEDDING.

SHE'S INVOLVED IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND SO SHE HAS PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES.

SO WE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND THE BRIDE AND HER FOUR HEAVIEST FRIENDS, ONE OF WHICH WEIGHED 300 POUNDS, WENT TO THE TOP OF OUR HOUSE, HAD A POWWOW, AND GOT IN OUR ELEVATOR THAT IS DESIGNED FOR THREE ADULTS.

AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THEY PUSH THE BUTTON, THE ELEVATOR STOPS, IT THEN FALLS AFOOT, PRECIPITOUSLY, THE ELECTRICITY GOES OFF, AND THE FIVE ARE STUCK IN THE DARK.

NOT A GOOD WAY FOR BROOKE TO START HER MARRIAGE.

BRUCE AND I MADE THE DECISION QUICKLY TO CALL 9 1 1.

AND THE CEDAR HILL FIRE OFFICERS CAPTAIN JASON O'NEILL ENGINEER ADAM WHITLEY, JEREMIAH THURMAN AND PATRICK KUNA ARRIVED AT OUR HOME SEEMINGLY INSTANTANEOUSLY.

THEY WERE PROMPT, THEY WERE POLITE, THEY WERE IMMACULATELY DRESSED, AND THEY KNEW WHAT TO DO TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

UNTIL LAY THE FEARS OF ONE OF THE YOUNG LADIES THAT WAS PANICKING.

10 OR 15 MINUTES LATER, THE CAPTIVES WERE FREED AND THE PARTY RESUMED.

BRUCE AND I, IN THE COURSE OF THE FOLLOW UP CONVERSATION OF HOW THEY WERE GONNA KEEP IT SAFE UNTIL A PROFESSIONAL COULD COME AND LOOK AT IT, THANKED THEM PROF OR PROFUSELY.

AS YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE, A LOT OF GOOD THINGS WERE SAID THAT EVENING BY THEM THAT I DON'T HAVE TIME TO SHARE WITH YOU.

BUT I HAVE SENT THE POLICE CHIEF A LETTER, UH, OUTLINING HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATED THE WORK OF THE OFFICERS THAT I'LL GIVE TO THE CITY SECRETARY IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT IT.

BUT THERE WAS ONE

[00:25:01]

I'D LIKE TO SHARE ABOUT A DOZEN, BUT I ONLY HAVE TIME FOR ONE.

ONE OF THE OFFICERS SAID TO BRUCE AND I BALLES, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, I'VE WORKED FOR THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL FOR 16 YEARS AND THERE'S NOT BEEN A SINGLE DAY IN THOSE 16 YEARS THAT I DID NOT WANT TO GO TO WORK.

AND AS WE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT INTENTIONAL LEADERSHIP.

THAT LEADERSHIP BEGINS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL AND THEN VERY QUICKLY BEHIND THE CITY MANAGERS WHO CREATE A POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

AND I, IF I HAD MORE TIME, COULD TELL YOU ABOUT A LOT OF OTHER PLACES OTHER THAN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BUT 14, THANK YOU, BILLY.

SO I QUARTER AND FIRE.

NEXT CITIZEN I HAVE IS HARRY GRANT.

TOPIC IS SLEEPY HOLLOW SIGN AND BY KUNI TRAIL SAFETY CONCERNS.

HELLO, MAYOR HAR.

HELLO, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS, I SEE YOU ALL.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

MY NAME IS HARRY GRANT.

I'LL RESIDE AT 9 1 11 SLEEPY HOLLOW DRIVE.

AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PREPARED REMARKS.

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT, UM, I'M IN FAVOR OF THE RESTORATION OF THE SIGN AND I'M IN FAVOR OF IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T HIDDEN.

THERE WAS NO HIDDEN AGENDA.

IT WAS AT EVERY BLOCK PARTY.

PEOPLE DISCUSSED IT VERY THOROUGHLY.

UM, THERE WAS A SURVEY THAT WENT OUT TWICE.

UM, THE ONES THAT CARED TO TALK ABOUT IT SENT THAT BACK IN.

UM, I WOULD MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT IF WE GO AHEAD AND RESTORE THE SIGNS, WE'VE ALREADY, PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN MONEY FOR THE SIGNS WITH THE IDEA THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE RESTORED.

UM, MYSELF AND MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS INCLUDED, WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE THOSE RESTORED.

IF, IF THE NEIGHBORS, YOU KNOW, IF EVERYBODY, IF ANYONE'S EVER ASKED THE IMMORTAL QUESTION, WHERE ARE WE GONNA GO TO DINNER? YOU KNOW, YOU CAN GET 50 OPINIONS, RIGHT? YOU'RE GONNA, YOU KNOW, TACOS IS ALWAYS POPULAR, BUT, YOU KNOW, BUT THE, UM, IF WE WANT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT SIGN, GREAT.

IF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WANT IT, GREAT, WE CAN RAISE FUNDS FOR IT.

WE CAN HAVE, UM, FUNDRAISERS FOR IT.

BUT WE DID GO FORWARD GIVING MONEY, TALKED ABOUT IT AT NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, SURVEYS WERE SENT AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT HAPPEN.

AND THE SECOND PART OF THAT, UM, WAS THAT I, I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BALCONES TRAIL.

IT'S FANTASTIC.

WE LOVE IT.

OF COURSE, IT'S RIGHT AT THE END OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SAFETY CONCERNS, UM, THERE ON THE TRAIL, SPECIFICALLY AT THE, UM, AXEL LANE FOR THE, UH, CAMPERS THAT COME OUT OF THE PARK.

PEOPLE THINK MISTAKENLY THAT THAT IS ANOTHER LANE THAT THEY CAN HOP INTO, TRY TO PASS.

THEN THERE'S NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GO.

AND THEN IF THERE'S A CAR BESIDE THEM, THEIR ONLY OPTION IS TO GO ONTO THE TRAIL.

AND YOU CAN OFTEN SEE TIRE MARKS AND PIECES OF VEHICLES LEFT ON THE TRAIL THERE.

SO IF THIS COUNCIL COULD PLEASE ADDRESS THAT, MAYBE WITH THE POWERS THAT BE, I THINK THAT'S TECH DOT THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER LITTLE SPOTS THERE WHERE IT MIGHT BE PRUDENT TO PUT SOME, UM, BARRIER RAILS BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY, UH, SMALL FENCE POSTS WITH, UH, REFLECTORS, WHICH DOESN'T DO A LOT, UH, IN THE INSTANCES WHERE CARS HAVE COME OFF OF THE, UH, ROAD AND GONE ONTO THE TRAIL.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, UH, HAVING ME.

AND, UH, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

NEXT IS, UH, RICHARD DRISCOLL.

AND TOPIC IS SLEEPY HOLLOW SIGNAGE.

OH, I WANT THIS ONE OR THAT ONE, WHICH IS FAR SHORT OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

MY NAME IS RICHARD DRISCOLL.

I LIVE AT SEVEN 12 SLEEPY HOLLOW DRIVE.

UM, I'M HERE TONIGHT TO COMMENT ON STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE GOING ON IN REFERENCE TO THIS, UH, SLEEP HOLLOW NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED.

UH, A FEW YEARS AGO I GOT WIND THAT, UH, PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN, UH, FIXING SIGNS OR PUTTING UP NEW SIGNS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND THAT'S GREAT.

UH, I HOPE THAT COMES TO FRUITION ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

UH, BUT I'M ALSO HEARING THAT THE FIRST GO AROUND ONLY 18 PEOPLE SIGNED SAYING,

[00:30:01]

AND THEN THE SECOND ONE I JUST HEARD TONIGHT, SOMETHING ABOUT 45 PEOPLE, UH, MADE THEIR CHOICES.

STRANGELY ENOUGH, I DON'T BELIEVE I EVER GOT ANYTHING IN THE MAIL OVER THIS.

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVER GOT ANYTHING EMAILED TO ME OVER THIS.

UM, SO IF THERE'S SOME WAY TO COME TO A CONSENSUS ON, WELL, YOU NEED TO GET A VOTE FROM AT LEAST HALF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE, CUZ THESE ARE HOMES THAT PEOPLE BOUGHT AND LIVE IN.

UH, SO IT'S NOT TRANSITORY , THEY'RE THERE FOR A GOOD TIME.

SO PERHAPS IF WE CAN GET THEM TO AT LEAST GET 50% OF THE PEOPLE TO PUT THEIR JOHN HANCOCK DOWN, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE LIKE AT LEAST 90 SOMETHING, 95 PEOPLE.

THAT'S A DECENT AMOUNT, BUT 18 OR 45, THAT'S A VERY LOW NUMBER FOR THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT I HAVE IS, UH, SUBJECT BROWN.

TOPIC IS CEDAR HILL BUSINESS UPDATE.

GOOD EVENING, SIR.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

UH, MY NAME IS SUBJECT BROWN, 2192 HILDAGO, UH, LANE FRISCO, TEXAS.

I DEFINITELY WANNA THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU TODAY.

AND I AM HERE WITH AN UPDATE.

AS YOU KNOW, I DO ON THE MAYWEATHER BOXING AND FITNESS GYM, WHICH IS DOING QUITE WELL HERE IN HILLSIDE VILLAGE.

AND I DO NEED TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN APOLOGY FOR A SETBACK, BUT THAT'S TURNED INTO A SETUP.

AND THAT SETBACK WAS THE, UH, THE TURKEY LEG, MAC, AND ALSO, UH, THE DJ'S, UH, UH, STEAKHOUSE, AS WE KNOW, I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD, UH, THEY'RE NO LONGER IN CEDAR HILL, AND THERE WAS A LOCKOUT THAT TOOK PLACE.

I WAS A MAJOR INVESTOR IN THOSE TWO VENTURES, AND SINCE THEY DIDN'T WORK OUT, MY BACKUP PLAN WAS TO STEP IN AND STEP UP AND BASICALLY CONTINUE.

WE NOW HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE, UH, HILLSIDE STEAK AND SEAFOOD RESTAURANT THAT SHOULD BE OPENING IN APPROXIMATELY SIX WEEKS, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LONG.

WANNA MAKE SURE WE DO IT RIGHT.

AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO BY THAT LOCATION AT 3 0 5 WEST FM 1382 IN HILLSIDE VILLAGE MALL.

AND BASICALLY LOOK AT THE OUTSIDE.

AS YOU SEE, WE HAVE PALM TREES, KNIVES OF TODAY, VERY NICE LANDSCAPING.

AND IF YOU THINK THE OUTSIDE IS GONNA LOOK GREAT, WAIT TILL GOING INSIDE AND THEN DEFINITELY WAIT TILL YOU TASTE THE FOOD.

BRING IT TO THE AREA OF FIVE STAR STEAKHOUSE THAT DON'T EXIST IN THE SOUTHERN SECTOR OF TOWN.

IT'S THE FIRST, THE BIGGEST AND THE ONLY.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU THERE.

THE, UH, SECOND LOCATION, WHICH IS AT THE SAME, UH, MALL LOCATION, WHICH IS NOW THE TURKEY LEG, KING, KING OF TURKEY LEGS.

IT'S WHAT I DECIDED TO BECOME.

WE BASICALLY GIVEN THAT FACE A UPLIFT AS FAR AS, UH, AND WE ARE ACTUALLY CHANGING THE CONCEPT, BE MORE FAMILY ORIENTED, UH, BRIGHTEN UP THE PLACE, REALLY CATER TO CHILDREN AND SO ON.

BUT THE TURKEY LEGS ARE GONNA BE SOMETHING TO DIE FOR.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE BEST IN TEXAS.

OKAY, SO WE'VE CLEANED THAT UP.

ALSO, I WANT TO THANK THIS CITY FOR THE SUPPORT AS FAR AS THE CITY, AS FAR AS WE, I SHOULD HAVE ALL OUR PAPERWORK IN AS I THINK AS OF TOMORROW FOR, UH, OUR COS AND ALL.

AND WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS PROCESS BEFORE AND, UH, YOU KNOW, SO THEY'VE DEFINITELY GIVEN US THE SUPPORT.

SO I DEFINITELY WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS THAT UPDATE.

WE SHOULD BE OPENING UP THE TURKEY LEG KING, I WOULD SAY NEXT WEEK.

AND, UH, RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT THAT I FEEL LIKE YOU GUYS DESERVE, I WANT TO GIVE Y'ALL A, UH, A TURKEY LEG, UH, NIGHT AND COME IN AND ENJOY SOME STUFFED TURKEY LEGS, SOME FLAVORED TURKEY LEGS, AND, UH, REALLY GET TO SEE THE NEW AMBIENCE OF THE, UH, LOCATION.

WE WILL BE PREPARING FOR GRAND OPENINGS OF BOTH LOCATIONS AFTER WE DO THESE, UH, SOFT OPENINGS.

AND WE DEFINITELY WANT YOU GUYS TO DEFINITELY BE A PART OF THAT RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY.

BUT I THINK THE CITY NEEDS WHAT WE'RE OFFERING, AND I'M MAKING SURE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY THAT WE DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND KEEP THE, UH, IMAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE KEPT UP IN THE, UH, VICINITY OF THE MALL AREA, UH, SO THAT, UH, IT DON'T TURN.

THANK, THANK YOU MR. BROWN.

AND, UH, OUR FINAL COMMENT FROM OUR CITIZENS FORUM IS, UH, RENA.

PHILLIP, THE TOPIC IS $2,500 GRANT FOR SLEEPY HOLLOW.

GOOD

[00:35:01]

EVENING.

HI THERE.

THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

UH, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE SPEAKING AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, BUT IF I EVEN IMAGINED DOING SO, IT WOULD NOT BE ABOUT SIGNAGE.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO HAVE DEVELOPED INTO SOMETHING MUCH MORE.

IT'S BECOME SOMETHING VERY ODD AND VERY CONTENTIOUS.

SO I WANTED TO PUT IN MY 2 CENTS WORTH.

SO HERE WE ARE.

I'LL START BY RECAPPING WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED FIRSTHAND.

IN JUNE, I RECEIVED A FLYER FROM THE SING BUSHES, AND I VOTED FOR THE NEW NEW DESIGN.

HERE'S THE NEW DESIGN, HERE'S THE EXISTING DESIGN.

IN SEPTEMBER, I RE I RECEIVED A FLYER FROM NASH THAT SAID THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SURVEY RESPONSES WERE IN FAVOR OF COMPLETING THE RESTORATION OF THE EXISTING SLEEPY HOLLOW SIGNS.

AND IT ALSO TALKED ABOUT THAT FLYER, TALKED ABOUT SUGGESTIONS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD MADE, AND I JUST THOUGHT THAT'S A LITTLE ODD BECAUSE THE, THE, THIS DID NOT CONTAIN ANY SPACE FOR THAT, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

THEN IN NOVEMBER, I GOT A TEXT FROM LARRY SINGH BUSH ASKING ME TO, IF I WOULD SUBMIT MY COMMENTS ON THE SIGN AND ASKING THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES WOULD DETERMINE WHICH STYLE OF SIGN.

AND SO OF COURSE, THE MAJORITY RULES.

AND I SUBMITTED A COMMENT, CITY COUNCIL COMMENT.

LARRY AND I, LARRY AND I ALSO HAD A FOLLOW ON DISCUSSION, BUT I DON'T NEED TO GET INTO THAT RIGHT NOW.

OKAY, SO THEN IN NOVEMBER, I GOT THIS FROM NASH.

NOW THEY ASKED ABOUT THE MAJOR, THEY, SORRY, THEY PROVIDED TWO OPTIONS.

SORRY, I'M READING MY COMMENTS.

I DIDN'T REALLY PAY MUCH ATTENTION BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY VOTED.

HOWEVER, PLEASE LOOK AT THOSE OPTIONS.

THEY ARE EITHER REFURBISH THE EXISTING SIGN OR DON'T DO ANYTHING.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS ODD, BUT I HAD ALREADY VOTED IN JUNE, SO I PRETTY MUCH IGNORED IT.

THEN IN THEN JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I RECEIVED ANOTHER TEXT FROM LARRY ASKING ME TO COMMENT ON THE CITY COUNCIL ASKING AGAIN THAT A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES OF THE HOMEOWNERS BE REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WHICH STYLE OF SIGN.

SO I SUBMITTED MY COMMENT TO THAT EFFECT.

WHICH BRINGS US TO, NOW LARRY TOLD ME THAT HE AND TERRY HAD GATHERED 83, I THINK 83 84 VOTES IN FAVOR OF THE NEW SIGNAGE AND FAVOR.

YEAH, IT'S KIND OF, KIND OF OUR LAST NAUSEOUS.

AND TO CLARIFY, YOU SAY YOU DO SUPPORT.

I DO SUPPORT FRIDAY.

GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING CASE NUMBER C U P 500 DASH 2022.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE PARTICIPATION IN THE CITIZENS FORUM.

UH, I'LL

L T D PS A KITE, UH, REALTY GROUP SUBSIDIARY.

DO WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE WITH US TODAY? DO YOU, UH, WOULD YOU LIKE TO PRESENT BEFORE, UH, WE GO TO PUBLIC HEARING? YES, SIR.

COME ON UP.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

MY NAME'S JASON CAEL.

[00:40:01]

I'M AT 2 85 GRAND AVENUE, SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS, AND I'M WITH, UH, KITE REALTY GROUP.

WE ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES HERE TONIGHT FROM POP SHELF.

UM, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW ON, UH, WHY WE REQUESTED THE VARIANCE TO THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR.

UM, KITE OWNS THIS CENTER PLEASANT RUN TOWN CROSSING, AS WELL AS, UM, ANOTHER CENTER ACROSS THE STREET PLAZA, CEDAR HILL.

WE OWN ABOUT 500,000 SQUARE FEET IN THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL.

SO, UM, WE'RE BIG FANS OF THE CITY AND WE'RE BIG INVESTORS IN THE CITY.

UH, EARLIER THIS YEAR WE APPLIED FOR A PERMIT, UH, FOR POP SHELF TO BUILD OUT, AND WE RECEIVED THOSE PERMITS AND WE BUILT OUT THE STORE.

UM, LATER IN THE YEAR, WE FOUND OUT THAT WE RAN A FOUL OF AN ORDINANCE THAT PROHIBITS, UH, VARIETY STORES TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.

INTERNALLY AT OUR COMPANY, UH, WE, WE CALL IT, UH, GENERAL MERCHANDISE.

WE LOOK AT IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

WE DON'T LOOK AT IT IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF STORES AND OR, UM, UH, NUMBER OF STORES IN PROXIMITY.

WE LOOK AT IT IN TERMS OF SQUARE FOOTAGE.

SO WHEN WE'RE MERCHANDISING, UM, A SHOPPING CENTER, UH, WE LIKE TO THINK ABOUT, OKAY, HOW MANY SQUARE FEET WILL WE, UH, DO GENERAL MERCHANDISE? HOW MANY ARE SOFT GOODS? HOW MANY HARD GOODS SHOULD WE HAVE? CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR MEDICAL AND SERVICE, ET CETERA.

UM, WE FELT THAT POP SHELF WAS A FIT IN THIS CENTER.

UM, WE'VE DONE NINE DEALS WITH THEM NATIONALLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF SHOPPING CENTERS AROUND THE COUNTRY.

WE ARE NOW THE, I THINK WE'RE THE TOP FIVE, UM, OUTDOOR SHOPPING CENTER OWNERS IN THE COUNTRY.

SO, UM, WE'RE FANS OF THE BRAND.

WE, WE DON'T, WE DON'T DO THAT AT POP SHELF.

WE DON'T EVER BRING ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE STORE.

WE ONLY MERCHANDISE INSIDE THE STORE.

UM, THERE'S ALSO SOME WINDOW GRAPHICS THAT ARE ON THE FRONT OF THE, UH, UM, WINDOWS THAT THEY ASKED ABOUT.

AND WE ARE IN A POSITION IF THAT'S NECESSARY TO REMOVE THOSE.

UM, SO I, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT ME TO GO OVER THE PRESENTATION THAT WE WENT OVER LAST TIME, IF, UM, THOSE WERE THE, THE, THE MAIN CONCERNS THAT, UH, WE HAD AT THE FIRST MEETING.

SO DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH TIME YOU WANT TO GIVE US AND WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE, WE'RE PREPARED TO DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

SURE.

IT, IT'S REALLY YOUR DISCRETION, IF YOU WILL.

WE CAN GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANNA, UH, DO A PRESENTATION, UH, IF THERE'S NO COMMENTS, THEN UH, COUNSEL CAN DELIBERATE WE TAKE ACTION.

DID Y'ALL, DID Y'ALL GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN ANSWER FOR YOU? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? TYPICALLY, WE GO THROUGH PUBLIC HEARING FIRST AND THEN WE'LL ASK QUESTIONS.

WELL, I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[a. Consider approving a request for a matching grant reimbursement to the Neighbors of Sleepy Hollow.]

ITEM A CONSIDER APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A MATCHING GRANT REIMBURSEMENT TO NEIGHBORS OF SLEEPY HOLLOW COUNSEL.

BEFORE I, UM, CONTINUE WITH THIS ITEM, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS A FEW CONCERNS THAT WAS ADDRESSED DURING CITIZENS FORUM.

UM, I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT, UM, THIS GOVERNMENT BODY, THE CITY COUNCIL, I BELIEVE HAVE A PROVEN TRACK RECORD PROBABLY AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN ON THE COUNCIL.

UM, THAT, UM, THIS IS NOT A RUBBER STAMP COUNCIL.

UM, WE DO HAVE BOARDS IN THE COMMISSION AND WE, WITH ALL OUR HEART, APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT THOSE APPOINTED BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, YOU KNOW, THEY DO.

WE VALUE THEIR POSITION, WE VALUE THE SERVICES THAT THEY DO, THE COUNCIL LOOK AT THEM AS PART OF OUR, AN EXTENSION OF OUR TEAM.

UH, WE'RE NOT ISOLATED, WE'RE NOT DIVIDED.

WE WORK TOGETHER.

UM, BUT I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT COUNCIL HAS THE RIGHT TO DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCIL ACTION WAS LAST TIME THAT WE HAD MET.

SO, UM, THE COM THE COMMENT ABOUT NEIGHBORING POLITICS, AIN'T NO NEIGHBORING POLITICS.

THE COUNCIL JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S CONSENSUS BEFORE THE COUNCIL GIVE A GRANT, UH, TO A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SEEMED TO NOT BE ALIGNED AT THE TIME.

HOWEVER, COUNCIL GAVE CLEAR DIRECTION.

UH, PLEASE GO BACK, DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE.

PLEASE GET CONSENSUS.

PLEASE COME BACK AND COUNSEL WILL TAKE ACTION.

AND THAT'S A SENSE ESSENTIALLY.

WHILE WE ARE HERE TODAY, COUNSEL, WE ARE NOT GOING TO HEAR FROM ANYONE, UH, ABOUT THIS ITEM.

WE HAVE ALREADY HEARD FROM EVERYONE FROM THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

UH, COUNSEL, YOU HAVE GIVEN A A PACKET, PACKET OF A LOT OF INFORMATION, VALUABLE INFORMATION IN ORDER TO MAKE A DECISION FOR THIS EVENING.

NOW IS IT IS YOUR CHARGE TO DELIBERATE AND TAKE ACTION.

SO COUNSEL, I OPEN UP WITH THE FLOOR FOR ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS ARE DELIBERATION, THE FLOOR IS OPEN.

COUNCIL READY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN ON THIS COUNCIL, WE'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THE, FOR THE CITIZENS OVERALL.

WE'VE ALWAYS LISTENED TO THE CITIZENS AND, AND TRY TO, TO MAKE THE DECISIONS THAT, UH, WE THINK IS, IS GOOD FOR, FOR ALL.

YOU KNOW, I'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO BOTH SIDES ON THIS, READ ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT WE SAID.

IT DOES SEEM TO ME LIKE WE ARE DEALING WITH UP HERE, NEIGHBORHOOD POLITICS.

WHAT WE REALLY SHOULD BE DOING AND THINKING ABOUT UP HERE IS WHAT THE, WHAT THE, UH, THE ACTUAL AGENDA ITEM THAT'S REQUESTED IS.

AND THAT SPECIFICALLY WAS SENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES BOARD VETTED THE PROCESS, AS KIM HAD SAID EARLIER, UM, MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, UH, AND, AND THE REQUEST WAS TO RESTORE AND RESPO AND TO, UH, REFURBISH EXISTING SIGNS.

THAT'S WHAT THE MATCHING GRANT WAS, AND THAT'S WHAT WAS VETTED AND THAT WAS WHAT WAS APPROVED.

YOU KNOW, GOING FORWARD AND READING ALL THIS, I THINK TO ME IT'S AN OVERWHELMING, UH, INTEREST OF THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE.

AND IF WE WENT UP HERE AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TODAY, WE'D BE RIGHT BACK WHERE WE WERE.

AND IS IT GONNA BE ANOTHER TWO OR THREE YEARS BEFORE WE GET SOMETHING DONE? AGAIN, TO ME, THIS IS JUST A STEP.

AND FOR THOSE, UH, THAT, THAT ARE ON ONE SIDE VERSUS THE OTHER, I HOPE YOU AGREE TO DISAGREE, BUT I HOPE YOU THINK IN THE FUTURE AND GO FORWARD WITH A STEP AT A TIME.

YOU KNOW, IF, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BRAND NEW SIGNS, THEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DEALING WITH TEXT DOT, YOU'RE TRYING TO GET APPROVAL FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW, WHY SHOULD WE WAIT AROUND FOR ANOTHER COUPLE YEARS OR LONGER IF, IF, UH, THE CITIZENS HAD BEEN WANTING TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS, WITH THESE SIGNS, YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S MY TAKE ON IT.

I, I'M THINKING THAT, THAT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, I THINK THIS IS JUST A START OF GOING FORWARD WITH, WITH, UH, SOMETHING AND CAPITALIZE ON IT GOING FORWARD.

IF THE NEIGHBOR, IF THE OTHER PARTS OF THE NEIGHBOR WANT TO, UH, START A PROCESS DOWN THE ROAD, APPLY FOR ANOTHER GRANT, COME BACK AND TRY TO, TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE BETTER THAN WHAT THEY'VE GOT, THAT'S GREAT.

BUT RIGHT NOW, I THINK WE'D BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T DO SOMETHING FOR THE CITIZENS AND APPROVE THIS GRANT AND, UH, AND GO FORWARD WITH SOMETHING THAT, THAT I THINK EVERYBODY WILL BE HAPPY THAT THERE'S SOMETHING BEING DONE.

THAT'S MY TAKE ON IT.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER HAYDEN.

UM, ALSO, I DIDN'T SAY THIS COUNSEL, BUT JUST KNOW THAT OUR CHARGE TODAY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DESIGN.

OUR CHARGE TODAY IS ONLY ABOUT THE MATCHING GRANT.

SO WE CAN KIND OF STAY FOCUSED

[00:55:01]

ON, UH, THE, THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE GRANT.

UH, THAT IS OUR CHARGE.

UH, CUSTOMER GLOVER.

UM, THANK YOU MAYOR.

THAT'S A GOOD EX.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

THAT WHETHER IT'S IN FRONT OF US, IT'S NOT A SIGNED SELECTION.

IT'S NOT IN FRONT, WHETHER IT'S IN FRONT OF US, IS NOT, WHETHER WE LIKE ONE SIGN OR ANOTHER, WHETHER IT'S IN FRONT OF US, MATCH A MATCHING GRANT TO RESTORE THE EXISTING SIGN.

SO WE DON'T HAVE A DOG IN THIS HUNT SAYING WE LIKE ONE SIGN VERSUS ANOTHER.

WE'RE JUST ADJUDICATING WHETHER IT'S IN FRONT OF US, WHICH IS A REQUEST FROM A VERIFIED NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION TO RESTORE AN EXISTING SIGN.

AND WE MAY HAVE A, A NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION THAT IS DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT THAT WE HAVE REQUIRED A NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION TO DO.

THANK YOU CUSTOMER GLOVER.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? IF NOT, THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR A MOTION.

COUNSEL.

MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE GRANT REQUEST FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION FOR SLEEPY HOLLOW HOLLOW TO RESTORE THEIR EXISTING SIGNAGE.
