[2. DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION TO DETERMINE CITY COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (EDC) REPRESENTATIVE, NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS REPRESENTATIVE AND AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD LIAISON.]

TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS REPRESENTATIVE AND AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD LIAISON.

DO WE HAVE. WELL, WE HAVE TWO, TWO FOLKS THAT WELL, WHO WHO IS UP FOR? LET'S START ONE AT A TIME. WHO IS UP FOR CHANGE ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION? JAKE I'VE. I DID NOT HEAR HIM COMMUNICATE THAT HE WAS WANTING TO DROP OFF THAT BOARD.

IS THAT CORRECT? I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

STILL INTEREST. AND I'M SERVING ON THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.

TEXAS COG. I THINK THERE'S AN INTEREST, THOUGH, FROM OTHER PEOPLE.

SURE. I'M JUST GOING THROUGH THE AGENDA ITEM.

SO I'M THE PERSON UP FOR THAT. IT'S AND THEN THE ADVISORY BOARD .

SO DO WE HAVE A PERSON THAT'S ON THAT? JAKE. JAKE.

JAKE. AND AGAIN, I'VE NOT HEARD THAT HE IS INTERESTED IN DROPPING OFF OF THAT BOARD.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. SO WHAT? IN THE PAST, I'VE ALWAYS TAKEN THE CONCEPT.

IF THAT INDIVIDUAL IS NOT INTERESTED IN DROPPING OFF, TO JUST MAINTAIN THAT PERSON ON THE BOARD, LEAVING THAT POSITION WITH THE INCUMBENT. THAT WOULD BE MY POSITION ON THAT.

BUT. SO WHEN IS THE TIME IF SOMEBODY DOES HAVE INTEREST TO STEP UP? WELL, THIS WOULD BE THE TIME. LET'S SEGUE INTO THAT.

ALL RIGHT. SO FURTHER DISCUSSION COUNCIL. WELL I'M STARTING MY LAST TERM ON THE COUNCIL AND I'VE NEVER SERVED ON IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SERVE ON IT.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES, SIR. SHOULD WE CONVOLUTE THIS PROCESS AND SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SERVED BEFORE, BUT MAYBE I'D BE INTERESTED IN SERVING AGAIN? IT'S. WILL, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? THAT'S WHAT I'VE ALLUDED TO. NO IF MS. REEVES WANTS TO COME ON THROUGH, SHE DESERVES THAT CHANCE.

THAT'S GOOD. WELL, ONE OF THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD SAY IS IF THERE

[00:10:07]

IS AN I HEAR THAT THIS IS YOUR LAST TERM, SO THIS WOULD BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY, BUT I WOULD ALSO MY COMMUNICATION WOULD BE I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROCESS.

WE HAVE ALL THESE ALL THESE BOARDS ARE OPEN MEETINGS AND THE EDC BEING A VERY IMPORTANT I MEAN, THEY'RE ALL IMPORTANT BOARDS, BUT I WOULD SAY HAVING AN INTEREST, I WOULD SAY WOULD BE VERY WELCOMING TO HAVE THAT PERSON PARTICIPATE IN THOSE OPEN MEETINGS. SO I DON'T. IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT.

IT'S JUST A COMMENT THAT IF THERE WAS AN INTEREST YOU WOULD ANTICIPATE.

WELL, MR. MAYOR, A COMMENT WAS MADE IN AN EVENT, A PUBLIC EVENT, AND IT WAS.

IS THERE ANY PERCEPTION ON EDC BOARD OF HOW THEY ARE PERCEIVED WHEN IT IS A COMPLETELY MALE BOARD? AND IT WAS PASSED OVER THE LAST TIME, AND THERE WAS NO OPPORTUNITY GIVEN FOR ANYBODY TO APPLY FOR A POSITION.

SO AT THIS TIME AND INTEREST IS THERE AND WOULD LIKE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

I WOULD SAY THAT'S A PERCEPTION BECAUSE EVERY YEAR WHEN THERE'S AN OPEN SEAT, WE COME TO THIS COUNCIL AND WE COMMUNICATE THAT THAT BOARD AVAILABILITY. SO LAST YEAR YOU WROTE OVER IT AND YOU COMPLETELY STOPPED ANYBODY FROM SAYING ANYTHING.

SO THIS YEAR IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. AND WE WOULD LIKE TO BE HEARD THAT THERE IS AN INTEREST.

WELL, I WOULD APOLOGIZE IF THERE WASN'T AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO SPEAK, AND WE'RE HAVING THAT OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT.

SO ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL ? I THINK MAYOR MIKE MIGHT HAVE OVERRIDDEN ANYTHING.

I HAVE A GOOD MEMORY, BUT GOING BACK A YEAR AGO, I DON'T, FELT THAT YOU HAD THE IRON HAMMER AND SAID, NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. SO MAYBE THAT GOT BURIED A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THE AGENDA, BUT YES.

ANYBODY THAT'S WILLING TO SERVE, I SAY OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED IN THAT POSITION? SO WE HAVE I DON'T I MEAN, I DON'T I HAVEN'T TALKED TO JAKE.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S WILLING WANTS TO SERVE AGAIN OR NOT.

I MEAN, IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DOING THIS WITHOUT HIM BEING HERE, I'M FINE WITH THAT.

I WILL SAY NEXT TIME THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SERVE BECAUSE IT'S MY LAST OPPORTUNITY.

ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? MRS. HILTON, PLEASE DON'T PAUSE.

PLEASE SPEAK CANDIDLY AND WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND? I DID I SAID EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO SAY. I WAS VERY CLEAR AND VERY CONCISE.

YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S OUR EDC'S POSITION.

WHAT ABOUT THE ECONOMIC OR THE TEXAS COUNCILS OF GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATION? IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN THAT? THAT ONE. YOU MIGHT TELL EVERYBODY WHAT THAT ENTAILS. AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A LOCAL MEETING.

IS IT? NO. IT'S TYPICALLY IN ARLINGTON. THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, BASICALLY. IT'S A COALITION OF A VARIETY OF INDIVIDUALS FROM MUNICIPALITIES AND OTHER FUNCTIONS OF MUNICIPALITIES. MAYOR MIKE, DO YOU HAVE A TIME FRAME OF WHEN THEY MEET OR WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE? YOU SAID MONTHLY. IS IT SPECIFIC DAY? DOES IT FLUCTUATE? IS IT ALTERNATE? IT FLUCTUATES. AND THEN IT CAN ALSO DEPENDING UPON WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OR IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA.

IT COULD I MEAN A MEETING COULD BE AT ANY TIME.

THANK YOU. THAT WOULD BE. THAT WOULD MAKE IT HARD FOR ME TO SERVE ON THAT.

IF THERE'S NOT, LIKE, A PRETTY REGULAR DAY AND TIME.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT. THEY DON'T EVEN THE ADVISORY POSITION AT THE AIRPORT.

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BE MEETING? DO WE KNOW? LIKE MOST OF THE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WE HAVE, THEY'LL PROBABLY MEET MONTHLY.

BUT IF YOU RECALL, WE JUST OPENED THE ADVISORY BOARD BACK UP FOR APPLICATIONS.

SO THERE MIGHT BE A POINT IN TIME WHERE THEY DON'T MEET UNTIL THAT BOARD HAS ITS FEET UNDERNEATH THEM AGAIN.

BUT I WOULD SUSPECT MONTHLY AT A MINIMUM QUARTERLY.

[00:15:05]

AND THEN THE EDC THEY MEET, I BELIEVE IT'S THE FIRST.

WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH, TYPICALLY AT 8:30. SO WOULD THAT BE ANY KIND OF CONFLICT OR ISSUE PROVIDED BY OUR LOVELY DECATUR CONFERENCE CENTER? THAT THAT TIME WORKS WELL FOR MY SCHEDULE? WELL, I WILL, I WILL, WHATEVER THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL IS GOING FORWARD ON THIS.

WE MELINDA HAD MADE A SUGGESTION OF. BEING LOOKING AT THIS WITH JAKE'S PRESENCE. I DON'T MIND DOING THAT IF THAT MAKES YOU MORE COMFORTABLE.

YOU SEEM TO BE THE ONE THAT'S UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, DOING THIS TONIGHT.

SO. OH IT'S NOT IT'S ON THE AGENDA. SO THERE'S DEFINITELY HIGH COMFORT IN THAT.

SO IT IS AN AGENDA ITEM AND WE HAVE A QUORUM.

SO AND I WON'T SPEAK FOR JAKE, BUT KNOWING HIS HEART AND HIS POSTURE FOR SERVICE TO THE CITY, I DON'T THINK THAT HE WOULD BE UNWILLING TO REMOVE HIMSELF FROM HIS POSITION FOR THE EDC.

SO I GUESS THAT DECISION IS UP TO YOU IF WE WANT TO REVISIT THAT OR.

WELL, I'LL JUST STAND FOR A MOTION FROM COUNCIL IF YOU WANT TO PUT THIS ON THE NEXT AGENDA OR WE CAN WAIT FOR IT.

WE CAN HAVE A MOTION. SO YOU'RE ASKING FOR A MOTION TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT.

I'M SUGGESTING WE MAKE A MOTION TO. I'M AWAITING A MOTION.

MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO PUT THE EDC CITY COUNCIL PLACE ON THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING. WELL, THERE'S. WE HAVE MULTIPLE ITEMS, SO THERE'S A MOTION, SO WE'LL WAIT FOR A SECOND. ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE, THAT MOTION DIES.

SO, ANY OTHER MOTIONS? MR. MAYOR, CAN I MAKE A MOTION TO ADD MELINDA REEVES TO THE EDC BOARD? YOU MAY. LOOK FOR A SECOND. I WILL SECOND. WE HAVE A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSE. SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT THAT PASSES.

WE HAVE TWO OTHER SPOTS ON THIS. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE REAPPOINT YOURSELF TO THE NORTH TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AS THE REPRESENTATIVE. SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THAT.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE JAKE CONTINUE ON THAT BOARD, IF HE'S WILLING.

I'VE I'M ASSUMING I'M GOING TO SAY HE IS. SECOND.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE JAKE ON THE ADVISORY AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD .

AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? NO, SIR. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES. ALL RIGHT, SO WE'VE GOT OUR COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS.

[6. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2025-03-13, AND APPENDIX B, “ZONING,” OF THE CITY’S CODE OF ORDINANCES AND THE CITY’S OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO PROVIDE FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE CURRENT ZONING REGULATIONS ON A TRACT OF APPROXIMATELY 200.4471 ACRES, THE NATURE CREEK RESERVE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, TO UPDATE THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND THE CONCEPT PLAN. (NATURE CREEK RESERVE – KYLE GILL) (THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL 6-0) PD-25-0001 ORDINANCE 2025-05-22]

2250313. APPENDIX B, ZONING OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES.

THE CITY OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO PROVIDE FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE CURRENT ZONING REGULATIONS ON A TRACT OF APPROXIMATELY 200.4471 ACRES, THE NATURE CREEK RESERVE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

YES, SIR. LISA HANNON, PLANNING DIRECTOR. WE MADE ONE CHANGE TO THIS ORDINANCE FROM THE LAST READING.

IT WAS OUR RECOMMENDATION AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, AND WE ADDED UNDER LETTER H IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS UNDER THE BUILDING AREA. WE ADDED ONE SENTENCE THAT SAYS, HOWEVER, THE LIVING AREA, THE AC AREA FOR ALL RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN 1000FT² IN AREA AND THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE UNDERLYING ZONING.

ALL RIGHT. AND THAT WAS ALSO THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

WITH THE CHANGES THAT ARE MADE, DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THE VALUE OF THESE HOUSES WILL BE? WE WOULD NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION. NO, MA'AM.

SO ORIGINALLY WE SAID ORIGINALLY THIS WAS PRESENTED AS $350,000.

IS THAT CORRECT? WE DON'T HAVE ANY VALUATION ON THAT. AT THIS TIME, NO, WE DON'T HAVE A VALUATION. OKAY.

SORRY. JUST SAY YOUR NAME. SORRY. KYLE GILL. 6117 MARYMOUNT IN FORT WORTH.

SO, NO, WE DON'T HAVE A VALUE YET. WE DON'T. WE DO NOT HAVE A BUILDER UNDER CONTRACT FOR THIS PROJECT YET, SO I CAN'T REALLY ANSWER THAT UNTIL WE DO. WHEN THIS FIRST CAME UP AND WE STARTED THIS, WASN'T THERE A DOLLAR AMOUNT PRESENTED OF WHAT THE VALUE OF THESE HOUSES WOULD BE TO START WITH, WE DID NOT PROVIDE ONE.

I THINK WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE PID DISCUSSIONS, I THINK THERE WERE SOME ASSUMPTIONS MADE BY THE FINANCIAL PEOPLE AS TO WHAT THOSE VALUES MIGHT BE TO COME UP WITH DOLLAR AMOUNTS THAT MAY BE THE ONLY THING WE WOULD HAVE PRESENTED.

SO WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENT ON THESE HOMES THAT YOU HAVE ME CONFUSED? YOU SAID 1000FT². NO, THEY CAN'T GO BELOW 1000FT².

WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS FOR A DWELLING AREA FOR LOTS THAT ARE 40FT WIDE, 1800 SQUARE FEET, AND FOR LOTS 50 FOOT WIDE, 2000FT². HOWEVER, THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE INCLUDES THE GARAGES, SO THE GARAGE COULD BE IS A MINIMUM OF 400FT². SO WHAT WE WANTED TO TRY TO MAINTAIN WAS THE UNDERLYING ZONING OF A SINGLE FAMILY.

TWO IS 1000FT² IN AREA AND THAT'S LIVING AREA.

SO WE WERE TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T HAVE LIKE A 1500 SQUARE FOOT GARAGE AND A 400 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE.

RIGHT? I UNDERSTAND. I THINK THAT THE CONCERN IS THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE GOING DOWN.

[00:25:02]

AS FAR AS THE LIVING SPACE IN IN THE HOMES, WE HAVE THREE DEVELOPMENTS OF, YOU KNOW, STARTER HOMES.

AND WE'VE CHANGED OUR LOT SIZE. AND, YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE, WE DON'T WANT MORE SMALL HOUSES, WE WANT LARGER HOUSES. SO I'M JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS GOING WITH WHAT THE COUNCIL IS WANTING TO DO AS FAR AS OUR OUR HOME BUILDING REQUIREMENTS. RIGHT. SO UNDERSTOOD.

SO IF YOU TAKE AN 1800 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE AND ADD AND SUBTRACT 400FT² FOR THE GARAGE, YOU'RE STILL LEFT WITH A 1400 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE OR ON THE 2000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE. IF IT'S A 400 SQUARE FOOT GARAGE, YOU'RE LEFT WITH 1600 SQUARE FOOT FOR THE HOUSE.

DO WE NOT RAISE OUR SQUARE FOOTAGE, THOUGH, TO 15? NO, NOT FOR SINGLE FAMILY. THAT WHICH IS THE UNDER JUST THE LOT SIZE.

OKAY. YES, MA'AM. NOW, WITH THIS CHANGE, ARE WE ADDING ONE MORE HOUSE IN THAT DEVELOPMENT NOW, THOUGH? THAT IS CORRECT. THEY CHANGED THE LOT COUNT FROM 693 TO 694.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? IF NOT, WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MR. MAYOR, MOVE TO APPROVE PD 25-0001. OH. EXCUSE ME.

I'M SORRY. I MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2025-0522.

NO. IT'S GOOD. IT'S BOTH. ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT. THAT ITEM PASSES.

WAS MISS JACKSON THE SECOND? THANK YOU. I'M SO SORRY.

WHAT WAS THAT? I THOUGHT I HEARD THAT DEBORAH JACKSON WAS THE SECOND, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

YES. THANK YOU. THAT IS A CORRECT HEARING. THANK YOU.

ITEM SEVEN. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE STREETS AND PARKING LOTS, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS,

[7. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE STREETS AND PARKING LOTS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AGREEMENT WITH WISE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF DECATUR AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.]

AGREEMENT WITH THE WISE COUNTY AND THE CITY DECATUR TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM IS BASICALLY A DOCUMENT THAT SUPPORTS OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH WISE COUNTY FOR PAVING AND MAINTENANCE.

YOU MAY RECALL WE'VE DONE SEVERAL PROJECTS OVER THE YEARS WITH WISE COUNTY.

THIS IS JUST THE PAPER THAT MAKES THAT PROCESS LEGAL AND FAIR FOR ALL CONCERNED.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? YES, SIR. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY PROJECTS YOU'RE LOOKING AT FOR THIS YEAR? BECAUSE THEY'RE, WHAT, 15,000 PER PROJECT? GREG, I WILL LET YOU.

RIGHT. SO WE'VE ALREADY DONE RIDGEVIEW THIS YEAR, AND WE MAY LOOK AT DOING SOME PAVING OUT ON COUNTRY CLUB ROAD AND POSSIBLY THE PARKING LOT OUT THERE. OKAY. PLUS THE JOINT PARKING LOT THAT WE DID OFF THE WEST SIDE OF DOWNTOWN OR IF MY MATH IS CORRECT THIS YEAR. OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE STREETS AND PARKING LOTS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AGREEMENT WITH WISE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF DECATUR, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

WELL SAID. I'M GOING TO SECOND THAT MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT. THAT ITEM PASSES.

ITEM EIGHT. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE CITIES OF WISE COUNTY TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF

[8. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE CITIES OF WISE COUNTY TO EXPLORE THE FEASABILITY OF A REGIONAL APPROACH TO ANIMAL CONTROL AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. RESOLUTION R2025-05-16]

A REGIONAL APPROACH TO ANIMAL CONTROL, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

I'LL JUST LET DELVON HAVE THIS ONE. SINCE HE'S ALL THE WAY UP HERE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S NICELY DONE. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I'LL COME TO YOU TONIGHT. AS YOU KNOW, IN THE PAST YOU KNOW, WE'VE JUST BROUGHT ANIMAL CONTROL BACK UNDER OUR WINGS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND RECENTLY, WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES FOR EITHER US TO HELP PROVIDE SERVICES TO THEM. AND SO WHAT THIS FEASIBILITY STUDY IS, IS BASICALLY TO EVALUATE THE OPERATIONAL, FINANCIAL AND LOGISTICAL VIABILITY OF ESTABLISHING A REGIONAL, A REGIONAL ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY AND WHAT THAT MAY LOOK LIKE AS WE PARTNER WITH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CITIES.

[00:30:01]

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP HERE IT IS A VERY LARGE STRETCHING AREA THAT ENCOMPASSES WISE COUNTY AND PARTS OF DENTON COUNTY AS WELL.

NOT ALL OF THESE CITIES HAVE JUMPED ON SAYING THEY'RE INTERESTED AT THIS POINT.

BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL WHO HAVE ALREADY EXPRESSED SOME INTEREST AS MOST OF THESE CITIES, JUST LIKE WE ARE IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA, ARE GROWING VERY RAPIDLY. AND ONE OF THE STRUGGLES WE FACE IS IN OUR ANIMAL CONTROL, EITHER OUR RESPONSE AND OR OUR FACILITIES AS WELL. AND SO BASICALLY THIS IS JUST A CARVED OUT AREA OF SOME POTENTIAL PARTICIPATING CITIES WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING A FEASIBILITY STUDY AS WELL.

AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS RIGHT NOW, JUSTIN HAS TAKEN UP KIND OF THE LEAD ON THIS AND THEIR ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY OR CITY MANAGER ABBEY REECE HAS REALLY TAKEN THE LEAD ON THIS A LOT.

I'VE SPOKEN WITH ABBEY A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THREE OF THE CONSULTANT FIRMS THAT THEY'VE LOOKED AT.

AND WHAT KIND OF A COST IT WOULD BE TO HAVE SOMEBODY TO COME IN AND LOOK AT WHAT THIS FEASIBILITY WOULD LOOK LIKE.

FOR A REGIONAL APPROACH TO ANIMAL CONTROL. SO YOU CAN LOOK, ANYWHERE FROM THE FIRST 10 TO $30,000, UP TO $40,000. THEY'RE KIND OF LEANING TOWARDS THAT $16,000 MARK.

IT'S KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE TO TO SEE WHAT THAT PARTICULAR GROUP COULD DO FOR US.

AS OF RIGHT NOW NEW FAIRVIEW, RHOME, NORTHLAKE PARADISE, AND NEWARK HAVE ALL JUMPED ON BOARD AND HAD MEETINGS TO DISCUSS. JOIN JOINING THIS FEASIBILITY STUDY.

I TALKED TO ABBEY TODAY. AND SHE WAS ALSO I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT SHE'S ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S AGENDA.

THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AS WELL FOR A COUPLE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES TO JUMP ON TO THIS AS WELL.

AND SO BASICALLY, THE NEXT STEP THAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS IS BASICALLY FOR THE COUNCIL TO SAY, HEY, YES, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE MAY BE INTERESTED IN.

AND THEN FROM THERE IT WOULD BE TO CREATE A COMMITTEE MADE UP OF ALL OF THE PARTICIPATING CITIES TO CREATE THAT COMMITTEE TO GO IN AND START REALLY LOOKING AT WHAT THIS MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

RIGHT NOW IT'S VERY LARGE IN ITS SCOPE. AND SO THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF LEGWORK THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE.

AND TRYING TO BRING IN THIS REGIONAL APPROACH TO SOMETHING THAT COULD COME TO ASSIST A LOT OF THESE MUNICIPALITIES IN THEIR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES. SO WITH THAT, I'M CERTAIN YOU PROBABLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AND SO FEEL FREE.

GO AHEAD. ACTUALLY, I'M GOING TO GO FIRST. SO CHIEF WOOD, LADIES FIRST.

WILL THIS ENCOMPASS ALL ANIMALS? YES. SO THIS IS ALL YOUR ANIMALS.

OBVIOUSLY WITHIN THE CITY'S LIMITS OF THESE PARTICULAR JURISDICTIONS.

SO ALL THE SERVICES THAT OUR ANIMAL CONTROL CURRENTLY PROVIDES WOULD BE THE SAME TYPE SERVICES THAT WOULD ENCOMPASS THIS ENTIRE STUDY.

SO AGAIN, PART OF I'M SURE THE STUDY WILL INCLUDE THE NUMBERS THAT EACH.

I'M, SURE SOME MUNICIPALITIES PROBABLY HAVE VARIATIONS IN WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE.

YEAH. AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE OTHER PART OF IT IS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE PERCENTAGE OF EACH OF THESE MUNICIPALITIES, WHAT THEIR WORKLOAD IS PER SE. SO, YOU KNOW, FOR A CITY LIKE DECATUR, YOU KNOW, WE PROBABLY HAVE A BIGGER WORKLOAD THAN PARADISE.

AND SO AGAIN THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT STUDY IS TO LOOK TO SEE.

SO, OKAY, LOOK, IF DECATUR IS PART OF THIS, THIS WOULD KIND OF BE AN EXPECTED ANIMAL CONTROL NUMBER.

SO THIS WOULD BE OUR PORTION OR OUR PART TO JOIN IN TO THIS REGIONAL GROUP.

IT'LL ALSO LOOK AT FACILITIES BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A LARGE AREA.

IT'S JUST. I MEAN, THAT'S GEOGRAPHICALLY THAT'S A LARGE, LARGE MAP AREA.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY HAVING JUST A SINGLE ANIMAL SHELTER IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE LOGISTICALLY SOUND.

SO THEN IT WOULD BE OKAY HEY, LOOK, DO WE HAVE ONE BIG SHELTER AND WE TREAT IT VERY SIMILAR TO KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE DO NOW WITH THE COUNTY.

SO NOW IF AFTER THREE DAYS, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE TAKE AN ANIMAL IN HERE AFTER THREE DAYS, IF WE CAN'T ADOPT IT OUT OR WHATEVER.

[00:35:03]

THEN THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE OUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COUNTY, IS THAT WE WOULD TAKE AN ANIMAL OVER TO THEM, AND THEN FROM THERE, THEY WOULD TRY TO ADOPT THAT ANIMAL OUT IF WE CAN'T.

AND SO AGAIN, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF LITTLE THINGS THAT WOULD COME INTO PLAY OF TRYING TO SEE IF THIS, THIS REGIONAL APPROACH WOULD WORK. SURE. IT SEEMS TO FIT THE PERFECT DEFINITION OF A DILEMMA OR WHAT'S THE SOLUTION? YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE DILEMMA AND THAT'S FTE'S AND DRIVING TIME.

AND YOU LOOK AT ALL THESE CITIES THAT ARE REALLY INVOLVED.

AGAIN, YOU LOOK AT JUST THIS NORTH TEXAS AREA AND THE GROWTH IS REALLY IMPACTING ALL OF US.

AND FINANCIALLY IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT GETS BURDENSOME TO BE ABLE TO YOU KNOW, ALL THESE CITIES TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ON THAT ANIMAL CONTROL ALL AT ONCE. SO. OH VERY GOOD. YEAH. I MEAN, THAT'S CERTAINLY A COMMENT THAT I'VE HEARD OVER AND OVER, NOT JUST HERE IN DECATUR, BUT IN OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, THAT KIND OF ISSUE.

SO IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PROJECT TO LOOK AT. SO HOW WOULD IT AFFECT OUR CURRENT SHELTER? WE WOULD RETAIN OUR CURRENT SHELTER. SO THAT WOULD BE A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT.

OBVIOUSLY THIS JUST ME TALKING AND JUST KIND OF THINKING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY IF JUST FOR SOME EXAMPLES IS THAT LET'S SAY JUSTIN WANTED TO BE THE HUB, KIND OF THE MAIN HUB. SO WE WOULD LOOK AT WHAT THE FEASIBILITY WOULD LOOK LIKE OF MAYBE BUILDING A LARGE MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL SHELTER.

WELL, IN WISE COUNTY, WE MAY STILL NEED A SHELTER HERE.

THAT THESE OTHER CITIES COME TO. SO THAT COULD BE WHERE OUR SHELTER STILL COMES INTO PLAY.

IT COULD BE THAT. HEY, THIS STUDY SAYS THAT MAYBE WE NEED THREE SHELTERS.

OR, YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE A A LOT OF DIFFERENT VARIATIONS TO REALLY DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT THE NEEDS WOULD BE ON A REGIONAL APPROACH. THAT ALSO INCLUDES MAKING SURE THAT ALL THESE CITIES DO GET ON BOARD WITH IT AS WELL, BECAUSE IF YOU JUST HAVE, LIKE US, JUSTIN, BOYD, YOU KNOW, MAYBE RHOME OR NEW FAIRVIEW, THEN THAT CHANGES IT UP.

BUT IF YOU ADD KRUM, IF YOU ADD PONDER, YOU ADD ARGYLE.

WELL, NOW THAT ADDS A WHOLE DIFFERENT ELEMENT TO MAYBE THE NEEDS OF OF ALL OF US AND WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE NEEDING TO DO TO PROVIDE A GOOD SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITIES. SO THE PRICE OF $16,000 IS THE ONE YOU SAID THAT THEY WERE MOST INTERESTED IN.

IS THAT PER PARTICIPANT OR IS THAT SPLIT UP AMONGST ALL THE CITIES THAT HAVE JOINED IN? AND SO THAT'S WHY AGAIN, LIKE RIGHT NOW I CAN'T SAY, HEY, LOOK, IT'S $6,000 ON OUR PART BECAUSE THERE'S STILL SOME OTHER CITIES THAT ARE JUMPING ON BOARD. BUT THE ONES THAT YOU HAVE THE, COMMITMENT FROM OR HOW MANY I MEAN, I SAW IT UP THERE, BUT I DIDN'T COUNT THEM. NO. GO BACK. THERE'S IT WAS FORWARD THERE.

RIGHT THERE. SO THOSE ARE THE ONES RIGHT NOW THAT YOU HAVE AN MOU IN SUPPORT FOR.

AND IT DOESN'T HAVE OUR NAME ON THERE. NOT YET.

BECAUSE WE'RE BECAUSE WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU TONIGHT.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, I KNOW LIKE I SAID ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ABBEY REECE HAS A COUPLE OTHERS THAT SHE HAS ON A PLACE ON THEIR AGENDAS AS WELL COMING UP. SO AGAIN, YOU COULD LOOK AT ALL 12 OF THOSE CITIES.

YOU COULD LOOK AT TEN, YOU COULD LOOK AT EIGHT.

AND THEN THAT WOULD BE THAT COST BETWEEN ALL OF US.

ALL RIGHT. AND IS THAT COST COMING OUT OF NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET? IS THAT COMING OUT OF YOUR BUDGET OR WHERE DO YOU FORESEE THAT COMING FROM? WHERE ARE YOU ASKING FOR THAT TO COME FROM? WE COULD PULL IT FROM GENERAL FUND MS. REEVES. IT SHOULDN'T BE MORE THAN, SAY, 3 OR 4000 BY THE TIME EVERYBODY GETS ON BOARD.

HOPEFULLY NOT EVEN THAT MUCH. IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE THAT MUCH.

CORRECT. BUT. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, GENERAL FUND WOULD COVER THAT FOR NOW.

OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WELL LET'S SEE. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION R 2025-0516.

SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.
