WELL, I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNSEL FOR ALLOWING US TO COME HERE TODAY AND TO BE RECOGNIZED, WE'RE SUPER EXCITED.

OUR MUNICIPAL COURT STAFF, THEY JUST WORKED SO HARD ARE THE MOST AMAZING TEAM.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE TO BE BLESSED WITH WORKING WITH SUCH AMAZING PEOPLE.

I JUST FEEL SO, SO BLESSED ABOUT THAT, BUT I DID WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND MENTION THAT, UM, DURING THIS PANDEMIC, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH A LOT.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED IN 2020, EVEN DURING THE PANDEMIC AND ALL THE CHAOS THAT'S BEEN GOING ON, AMANDA WILKINSON WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE HER LEVEL TWO OR CERTIFICATION.

AND I'M SO, SO PROUD OF HER CORE CARDS.

WE HAVE A MANDATE AND TWILA PAULA ROBINSON COULDN'T BE HERE THIS EVENING, BUT SHE HAS ALSO LOVED TO, UH, FOR A FIVE PORT COURT.

SO WE'RE JUST VERY, VERY PROUD.

THANK YOU FOR BEGINNER, THIS OPPORTUNITY, AND YOU APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.

WE LOVE TO CELEBRATE ALL OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT WORK THEY COULD JUST FOR BEING HERE.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS BECAUSE THEN A PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, 2020 AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IN CEDAR HILL.

AND IF TRUSTEE KEESA ELECTRIC CAN BE UP FRONT, PLEASE Y'ALL SAW ME.

THAT WAS A HUG THAT WASN'T ME HITTING HER, KNOCKING HER OVER, UH, DOCTOR TRUSTY, LANKFORD C UH, SERVES FOR US HERE AT THE CDL ISD.

SO I JUST WANT TO STUDY WHAT YOU DO FOR US.

UH, IN OUR TWO CHILDREN, I HAVE A PROCLAMATION I WOULD LIKE TO READ DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH STARTED IN OCTOBER, 1981 AS A WAY TO CONNECT ADVOCATE ACROSS THE NATION WHO WERE WORKING TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, TEARS, FAMILIES, APART WITH DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES THAT CAN LAST FOR GENERATIONS TRAGICALLY, MORE THAN 10 MILLION AMERICANS SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF LOVED ONES EACH YEAR.

AND WOMEN ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO BE TARGETS OF THIS HIDEOUS CRIME AS MEN AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH HAS SINCE EVOLVED A SIGN IN LIGHT ON THIS SILENT CRIME THAT IMPACTS MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN IN THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL EACH DAY.

IT HAS DEVASTATING EFFECTS ON ITS VICTIMS. ALL AMERICANS DESERVE A LIFE FREE FROM THREATS OF PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM.

WE EXTEND OUR DEEP APPRECIATION TO THE SHELTERS, COUNSELORS, HEALTHCARE,

[00:20:01]

NOW I SEE MASON MAYOR CDC, THE HILL DO PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH AND THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL AND URGE ALL RESIDENTS TO SPEAK OUT AND WORK TO END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, UH, HERE, UH, HERE ON TO SIT IN MY HAND AND HAVE CAUSED TO SEAL AND THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL TO BE FIXED ON THE 27TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2020 SIGNED BY ME, MAYOR STEVE MASON.

YOU KNOW, WE DO A LOT OF AWARENESS.

UM, YOU KNOW, EVERY SINGLE YEAR WE RECOGNIZE SOMETHING, BUT I'LL TELL YOU THAT THIS RIGHT HERE, I'M ACTUALLY PROUD TO HAND TO TRUSTEE LANKFORD BECAUSE SHE IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS.

AND IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW MUCH HER, UH, OUTSIDE OF HER WORK, UH, WITH THE CHILDREN.

SO I AM ACTUALLY HONORED TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU TODAY, AND PLEASE BLESS US WITH A FEW WORDS, UH, TO SUPPORT THEM.

I'M HONORED TO BE HERE.

COUNCIL MAYOR, THANK YOU.

WE ARE REPRESENTING THE YOUNG CHILDREN THAT CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

I AM STARTING OUT AS AN EDUCATOR OVER 21 YEARS, I'VE WORKED WITH CHILDREN IN THE AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM, CREATING SOLUTIONS FOR OUR CHILDREN.

AND WHAT WE REALIZED IS THAT IF A CHILD'S HOME IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE THINKING, THEY'RE BREATHING, THEY'RE FEELING, THEY'RE TALKING THEIR BELIEF SYSTEM.

THEY DON'T HAVE A CHANCE.

AND SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THAT AND ADVOCATING FOR THEM AND SPEAKING ON THEIR BEHALF AND TALKING ABOUT AWARENESS HELPS GIVE THEM THAT CHANCE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

NEXT IS A

[6. Citizens Forum: 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 Tuesday, October 27, 2020, will be distributed to the City Council and entered into record. ]

SO CITIZENS FOR WELCOMES OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY CITIZEN MAY ADDRESS ANY SUBJECT DURING THE CITIZENS FOR A PORTION OF A RECORD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND SEE THE COUNCIL CANNOT TAKE ACTION ON ANY MATTER.

THAT IS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA, BUT ISSUES MAY BE REFERRED TO CITY.

STAFF ARE PLACED ON THE AGENDA.

I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF CITIZENS FORMS WHO FILL OUT THE FORM OF WISHING TO SPEAK.

AND, UM, THE FIRST I HAVE IS MR. NITA CLEVELAND, UH, TOPIC IS, UM, MIDTOWN APARTMENTS, LIBRARY AND WBE AND VOTER SUPPRESSION.

HOW ARE YOU DOING MS. CLEVELAND? AND, UM, BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, I'LL BE, DO HAVE A TIMER OF THREE MINUTES AND YOU HAVE THE MIC.

LET ME CLEAR MY THROAT FIRST, BEFORE YOU START THAT, UH, WE LIVE YOUR LIFE.

WONDERFUL.

UH, THANK YOU.

I'M VERY, VERY HONORED AND PROUD TO BE A PART OF A VERY HISTORIC, UH, CITY COUNCIL MEETING, UH, THE FIRST AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS.

AND SO MY NAME IS SHANITA CLEVELAND, FOR SOME OF YOU WHO MAY NOT KNOW, I LIVE AT THREE 65 UPTOWN BOULEVARD AND WE'RE ON LIVE.

I HAVE GOTTEN WORD IN THE STREET THAT THE COURTESY OFFICER POSITION, WHICH IS ONE UNIT OUT OF ALL OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF UNITS, UH, THEY WANT TO GET RID OF IT.

AND I ASKED WHY THEY DID CONFIRM THAT THAT IS TRUE.

THEIR LAST STAY WOULD BE IN JANUARY.

IT IS A CEDAR HILL POLICE OFFICER, UH, WHICH LETS YOU KNOW THAT I AM NOT ANTI-POLICE.

UH, BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT WE HAVE ALL BUILT A RELATIONSHIP THERE AND WE FEEL SAFER IF THEY WERE THERE.

AND I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU ALL SAY WE CAN'T, YOU KNOW, DO ANYTHING OR, AND I KNOW THAT WE'LL TECHNICALLY CUT OFF OR SORT OF LIKE OUR OWN LITTLE CITY, UH, INSIDE OF THE CITY.

AND SO I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

UH, SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO LET THEM KNOW IF YOU DIDN'T MENTION IT TO THE CONSTABLE AND THE WELL, FIRST WORDS OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS WILL IT AIN'T GOING TO WORK? AND I SAID, WELL, I KNOW THAT'S WHY I'VE ALREADY TOLD A FEW OF THE RESIDENTS AND THEY WERE NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

AND UH, LIKE I SAID, I'VE GIVEN THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO LET US KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.

SO WE'LL BE WAITING FOR THAT.

THE SECOND ONE IS I SEE YOU'VE BROKEN GROUND, UH, TESTING, UH, FOR THE SOUL AND THE MATERIALS FOR THE LIBRARY.

UH, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE ALREADY SELECTED OR HAVE SOMEONE IN MIND, UH, FOR BUILDING THAT LIBRARY, BUT WHOEVER IT IS SHOULD IDENTIFY THOSE MWB PARTNERS BEFORE ANY CONTRACT IS AWARDED.

OKAY.

IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT STRENGTHENING THE PROGRAM, THAT'S HOW YOU START STRENGTHENING IT.

AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MEET THE GOAL.

[00:25:01]

THAT IS ONLY RIGHT, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY NOTIFICATIONS COMING THROUGH AND I KNOW THE CITY IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

I KNOW CAUSE I'M HERE AT THE POLE AND EMPLOYEES ARE HERE.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE INCLUSIVE AND I SAW Y'ALL'S NEW MISSION STATEMENTS.

HOW MUCH TIME I HAVE A WRAP THIS UP.

UH, YOU KNOW, I SAW THE HOPE, A MOON MISSION STATEMENT, AND I'M GLAD THAT IT'S GETTING MORE INCLUSIVE.

UH, LAST IS VOTER SUPPRESSION RIGHT OUTSIDE.

Y'ALL HAVE PUSHED US BACK.

WE'RE ALREADY BACK PAST DALLAS COUNTY WITH DALLAS COUNTY SAYS IS FAIR AND EQUAL, BUT NO, THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL HAS PUSHED US BACK EVEN ABOUT 120 FEET PAST THAT.

AND WHEN I CAME HERE FOR THE GENERAL, I SAW SIGNS OUT OF PLACE.

I CAME TO THE CITY, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, CAUSE YOU CAME TO THE DOOR AND I SAID, HEY, THE SIGNS ARE OUT OF PLACE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, UH, BRUNE, I HEAR WORDS LIKE, OH, WE'RE MOVING UP CLOSER.

WE CAN MOVE CLOSER.

SO THOSE, THOSE ARE NOT THINGS THAT I HEAR WHEN I'M IN THE RACE, EVERYTHING IS PICKUP PUSHBACK.

WE GOT YOUR SIGN, THIS AND THAT.

BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT THERE'S A REAL PROBLEM.

WHEN I DID POLICE CALLED ON ME FOR MOVING A CONE SUV UNITS FOR OFFICERS FOR MOVING A CONE.

BUT THEY FAILED TO MENTION OUTSIDE THE FIRE TRUCK AND BEING A GOOD CITIZEN.

SO I'M SAYING IS THAT THESE DAYS WERE OVER, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT THEY WERE OVER WHEN YOU WERE ELECTED, BUT UH, WE STILL GOT SOME WORK TO DO.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MS. CLEVELAND, NEXT, A CITIZEN TO HAVE TO SPEAK IS MS. I MEAN, ANDERSON UH, TOPIC IS INNOCENT ROAD PROJECT.

ARE YOU MS. ANDERSON TO GIVE US YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

OKAY, GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR MASON, COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF.

MY NAME IS ELENA ANDERSON AND I LIVE AT 28 33 FOUNTAIN VIEW BOULEVARD.

I HAVE BEEN AN HOMEOWNER AND LIVED IN CEDAR HILL FOR 19 YEARS.

I LOVE CEDAR HILL.

I WAS INITIALLY COMING TONIGHT TO, UH, ACCEPT OUR AWARD.

AND I WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HONORING OUR COMMUNITY.

WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE WORK AT IT EVERY SINGLE DAY TO MAKE IT A PREMIER NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO IT IS A SPECIAL TREAT TO BE RECOGNIZED AND HONORED BY YOU ALL.

UM, IT WAS ALSO, UH, I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT, BUT STACY SENT AN EMAIL BECAUSE I SERVED ON THE COMMITTEE WITH THE RENTAL REGISTRATION.

SO THAT WAS ALSO A TREAT AS WELL.

SO SINCE I WAS COMING TONIGHT, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WORTH BRINGING UP TWO CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE, UM, ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE FOUNTAINS OF LAKE RIDGE.

AND THOSE CONCERNS WOULD BE NUMBER ONE, LATIN NUMBER 18, WHICH IS NORTH OF THE HOA A LOT TOO ON PAGE NINE OF THE PACKET.

AND NUMBER TWO, THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE PROPOSED COMMUNITY IN RELATION TO THE ANDERSON ROAD PROJECT.

ALTHOUGH WE ARE AWARE THAT TONIGHT'S VOTE IS ON ZONING.

OUR CONCERN IS FOR THE UPCOMING PLANNING MEETING AND BOAT.

SO WE WANT TO JUST LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE FOUNTAINS RESIDENTS ARE CONCERNED OF THIS PROCESS.

ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE PRESENTED ON SEPTEMBER 22ND DURING THE COUNCIL MEETING AND TONIGHT'S MEETING THE DEVELOPER IS PLANNING TO HAVE ONE HOUSE BUILT INSIDE OF OUR GATED COMMUNITY.

NUMBER 18, THIS ONE HOUSE WOULD BE FACING INSIDE OF OUR COMMUNITY.

IT'S CURRENTLY, UH, A FENCE THERE AND WITH THE FENCE, UM, IT APPEARS THAT THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO TURN HIS HOUSE BACKWARDS AND FACE INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THERE IS NOT A DRIVEWAY FOR THAT HOUSE TO, UH, GIVE ACCESS TO THE RESIDENT WHO LIVES IN THAT ONE HOUSE.

SO THAT IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE, UM, WE FEEL THAT THE DEVELOPER IS PUTTING TOGETHER THIS PLAN.

UM, WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THE BUILDING OF THE HOMES, BUT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT A HOUSE BEING PLACED INSIDE OF OUR GATED COMMUNITY WITHOUT SEEKING THE INPUT OR APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD OR THE RESIDENTS OF THE FOUNTAINS.

SO THAT IS OUR CONCERN.

WE KNOW THAT SINCE IT'S BEING DEVELOPED RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE IN THE PLANNING PHASES, THIS IS A PERFECT TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DEVELOPER CAN BUILD HIS OWN ROADS THAT LEAD IN AND OUT FOR EVERY ONE OF HIS RESIDENTS.

SO 100% OF THEM, UM, WE DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR ONE OF HIS RESIDENTS TO HAVE TO COME THROUGH OUR GATED COMMUNITY WHEN YOU COULD ACTUALLY DO OTHER THINGS TO MAKE THAT WORK IN YOUR COMMUNITY SINCE IT HASN'T BEEN BUILT.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE THAT KNOWN AS WELL.

THE SECOND THING IS THAT WE WANT IT TO BE CLEAR THAT THE FOUNTAINS IS ALSO UNAWARE OF HOW THIS COMMUNITY IS A PART OF LAKE RIDGE, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT IN THE CORRECT INFORMATION THAT WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED.

THAT IS NO AFFILIATION TO LAKE RIDGE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

AND WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO.

UH, MS. ANDERSON, UH, THIS IS AN AGENDA ITEM, SO I CAN, UH, PROVIDE THEM SOME FEEDBACK, BUT, UM, WE, WE DID PULL THIS FROM CONSENT, SO I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'VE GOT TIME TO HANG AROUND, BUT WE'LL TRY TO ADDRESS YOUR

[00:30:01]

YES, I WAS TRYING TO RUSH AND GET THROUGH IT BEFORE THE THREE MINUTES.

SO YES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR OUR CITIZENS FORM.

UH, THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED.
