 at 8375 Blue Mountain Road. That's the Northwest Community Center groundbreaking. Also as a reminder, there is no council meeting next week on November 22nd. The next council meeting will be on November 29th. And that's because next week is Thanksgiving week and to remind everybody that most city offices including City Hall will be closed next Thursday and Friday, which is November 25th and 26th. Of course, emergency services will be available. Garbage pickup will be modified and you can get all those questions answered in our website there. Next up, informal reports. The first informal report is on the 2023 street sweeping program. Brandon Bennett is available if there are any questions. And I've already seen pictures of some of you. Crane. I have a question, David. Now, I don't know about that driving thing because you don't have a commercial driver's license. Brandon, come on up. Council President Nettles. I drive it. So this is exciting for our community for sure increasing the amount of sweet sweepers. Is there a mechanism where residents can request it to come down in that area? Yeah, absolutely. Right now they just call the city call center and say I'd like my street swept and we'll put it in as a work order and we'll do it as resources are available. First call probably first served unless it's a big cleanup. And then as we start getting our, we're using a contractor right now as we start to get our own street sweeping equipment in then we'll be able to do it a lot faster. We are also working on adding a link on the city app so you can click request the street sweeper and we'll go and do ad hoc street sweeping there. As far as regular street sweeping, if it's a street that needs regular street sweeping, we can add it to our list. But I think a lot of these requests that come in will probably be one time and then we'll let the resident know if it gets dirty nine months down the road again and give us a call back, be our eyes and ears and we'll come back and hit it again. Is there either way for council to request or do the same? Yep, do the same thing, right? You can just shoot me an email. But yeah, you can do it through the call center, shoot me an email, anything like that. So we're contracted now, how many do we have that are available now? We went from two to what? We, I don't know exactly how many that the contractor is using on the lane miles. What they're doing right now is they're doing what's called a pre clean because we haven't done street sweeping. So some of the streets are actually requiring like three and four passes before they're clean. And then probably by January we'll be doing actual street cleaning. But again, we have two big ones in-house and we have two small ones in-house. And those are the ones that we would use for ad hoc cleaning. We're gonna have the contractor focus on the ones that need to be regularly done around the major interchanges, just off the interstate, you know, those areas, hospital district, those areas that get a lot of litter. Okay, well, appreciate your work. I mean, a lot of us are going around saying we got 12. So we can get the 12, that'll be good. So we won't be lying. Yeah, don't be bashful. Don't be bashful about telling people that they give us a call, we'll figure out a way, right? We got nighttime hours, we can sweep, we got weekends. There's all kinds of off hours that we can use to pick up these ad hoc projects. One thing I'll say when I did sweep the street that day, there was, because we don't sweep on a regular basis, there was debris in the way. So the guy had to go clean that up and then come back, or he said practice would be that they would clean it up and then come back another day. So I thought maybe in your staff understood maybe someone advances to make sure none of that's there so the street sweeper can just come in and actually do its job and not. So yeah, the litter team is doing it. Yeah, so one of the things the litter teams are doing at some places where there's a lot of debris, there's now grass and seedlings and everything else that are growing in the gutter. So we are doing that, we just, there's so many lane miles, we just can't hit all of them that way, absolutely. Thanks Brandon, appreciate it. Done? Well stay right there, hold on. I don't think I need to go anywhere. The next informal report is on residential solid waste collection and the route adjustments and Brandon and Valerie are available, if there are any questions. Yeah, I see Steve Keller here from Waste Management as well and we had a very productive conversation on the phone this morning, but we got this really wrong. Yes, you did. We got this really wrong in some major ways. We didn't communicate with our residents, we didn't communicate with our council members, we had incorrect information on the website. So we all know how much I love late night emails the night before, so it's 747 on Sunday, we got an email notifying us and for my district it was 18, I believe 18,000 residents that were impacted. There was no information about which neighborhoods were impacted or which routes were impacted. We actually had to request that information before we could even start communicating with neighborhood leadership. And then when we sent our leadership, the information of a lot of the website that we sent them to was not updated so it still had their old trash date. I can tell you in mistletoe heights, they missed a whole week of trash pickup and it took five days after the first missed one to get some of those locations picked up and then in sunset heights, their notification was a sticker on their trash can the morning of and so we failed our residents in a big way when we rolled this out. And so I don't know exactly where it went wrong. I'm sure y'all are post-processed that. I'd like some sort of feedback on where those missteps were where you've identified missteps so that we can prevent this again because it will happen again. And so you can't mess with people's trash. And you can't mess with their trash day. I think we all plan our lives around when we set the trash out. I know when I moved neighborhoods and I went from a Wednesday to a Friday, I thought I had moved to a different state it felt like. So I would like an IR in the future on what went wrong so that we can make sure this does not happen again. And I'll just add to that. It's great we sent out these postcards but Michael Crane got his yesterday and this is for the week of seven, last week it's changing. So I'm not sure what process, what we did. But let me just throw just a couple of things out. First and foremost, the buck stops, it stops with me. I'm not going to say that this was anybody else's fault on my own. I'll take full and total responsibility for this. That I was leaving town on the 21st something, I guess it was the 23rd, 24th. And I had just made sure all of my new staff and they're all new. You got to make sure you let council know and you got to make sure the citizens know and you got to make sure that the database is working. And I went through everything and the one thing that I missed telling my staff was if there's a hiccup, stop the process, delay the implementation until we can get it right. And that falls on me that I failed to do that. So there was a number of things that happened that delayed in getting information to mayor and council. It was never the intent to be delayed, it just happened. One of the things that we did was we sent the card out to arrive the week before the change. So the card that you're showing up right now is actually the second card that went out. There was a card that went out last week and arrived. There was a card that went out this week and arrived. And there'll be one more card that arrives this following week to remind people of their new garbage day. What we've learned over the years is that there's no magic way to doing it, but we always tried to do it a little bit better each time. This time we used postcards instead of an envelope because one of the feedback we got last time or when we used the envelopes was that people didn't open it. We did door hangers one year and people said that the door hangers fell off the doors. So this time we really felt like the postcards because it had the date, everything on there. And again, one of the things we missed was it was an election cycle. And what we didn't have from the debrief last time was all the postcards, election postcards that people get in their mailbox. So it got out, right? It just a lot of people missed it with the election flyers and stuff were in there. Again, that was part of the debrief and we'll make sure that doesn't happen. We elected not to do the robocall because a lot of the phone numbers we have are for landlines that don't exist anymore. We didn't feel that that would have the impact. And then when we worked with our national collection partners, the industry folks, Republic, Waste Management and others, all of them said that for rerouting the recommendation was get the cards the week, the week before, right? Or the week that week of, don't do it beforehand because people get confused which week. They have to remember is it in two weeks, three weeks, something like that. That's been our experience also. All of those things will be fixed for the next go around, particularly with notifying you, the council, that you should have actually been notified about two weeks before this happened and then it should have been going out on the webpage and everything else and that didn't occur. So again, I apologize for that. I will tell you at the end of the day, this is not to delight in the failure any bit, but I can tell you that this time around isn't any worse or any better. It could have been better, right? If we had done some other things, but it's not any worse or any better than what we've done. Anytime we do a reroute, Ms. Beck is right, you don't mess with people's taxes and you don't mess with their trash, right? And anytime you do that there's always something that just doesn't fire off right and we know that. So we did about a third of the routes that changed about less than 2% of the folks reported absolute misses where they wanted us to come out, get the carts. We ran the garbage trucks on Saturday to play catch up and then they've been doing catch up this week also. In my area, I live on the other side of Mistletoe Heights. I was a Wednesday collection that moved to Thursday. I got up real early in the morning because I knew the street was gonna be a horrible thing to see and there was only two carts out on my street. They're both rental where the owner pays for the garbage so the tenant didn't get the notice. So one of the things that we did, and this will be the last thing we can move on to other IRS or other questions is, so one of the things that we do is we know that people are gonna put their carts out on their garbage day even if they know it's moved and we talked to people and they told us that. Just to be double sure their garbage gets picked up, they'll put it out on the old day and the new day. When they put it out on the old day, we drive around and put a tag on the cart. So in addition to the postcards, we put a tag so that when people get home, they see their garbage wasn't picked up. There's a tag on the cart that says your new garbage day is, right? So they know when to put their garbage out. And then lastly, we're telling people that if you have any excess garbage, bag it, put it beside the cart and we'll pick it up at no extra charge. We'll do that for several weeks just like we've done in the past. Yeah, I appreciate all that and I appreciate what you're pointing out. I think one of the things the biggest that you missed is the communication piece that we can help you do. And you said, well, we didn't think it was election. We didn't focus on it. Probably somewhere around this table would have said, oh, it's November 8th. There's people are gonna be paying attention. So I feel like we keep having this conversation again and again, but I would say major things like that when you are gonna mess with someone's trash or anything, just float it with us even in a, doesn't even a formal capacity. Hey, we're thinking about doing this. I understand the need of telling people right before it happens, but there may be other problems that we might be able to solve for you. Or we, as soon as we knew about it, we were emailing our neighborhood associations just to let them know. So I don't know if neighborhood service, if they were involved in it, community engagement was involved at all, but that was also something that could have been done to help besides just the postcard and everything else. But we appreciate what you do. I just think we have- And I apologize to all of you and to our citizens that we didn't get it right this time and we'll make sure we get it right next time. Next time, can we get a brief to council before it goes into effect at a minimum? Yeah, absolutely. Thankfully, we don't do this very often. It'll be probably another six, seven years unless the city keeps growing like it's growing. It could be sooner, so, but we'll let you know. Thank you, Brandon. We appreciate it. Maybe when we send out that next postcard as a reminder again, just say I'm sorry, like as a city, we're sorry if we confused you. Just as a reminder, here's your new trash day. People might appreciate that. We appreciate you. Thank you very much. Thank you. You didn't tell us where you were when you left town. It was very important. You wanted a honeymoon. Yeah, well. So it's okay to just connect on your honeymoon. There's no excuse. No, it's okay. All right, thank you. Let's see, our next informer report is on the adoption of the city of Fort Worth 2023 state legislative agenda and TJ Patterson is available if there are any questions. Anything you want to add, Michael? Yes, actually, I want to say thanks TJ and staff for putting that together and the legislative affairs committee for putting that. I do have one addition that we've discussed just to make sure after we had a great presentation today from the Institute for Justice about what their small business task force about what we're trying to do. And a suggestion that was added to add the word, add as an item supports funding that allows continued recovery and growth for small businesses. So if I don't, if there's no objection here and TJ and I've talked about it to add that to the legislative agenda too. Yes, sir, we'll be happy to add that to it and bring it back when it comes to on the 29th should you decide to move forward. That sounds great. Yep, thank you. All right, our next informer report is on the curfew ordinance for minors and I'm going to go ahead and have Assistant Chief Aldrich come up and at your place you have a revised informal report with different dates. Chief, if you'd walk us through the different dates. Absolutely. Good afternoon, Mayor Council, Executive Assistant Chief Robert Aldrich for Police Department. Kind of give you a little information before we get started. This isn't something new that I'm asking you to do. We've had a teen curfew ordinance since 1994. State statute requires us every three years to either renew that ordinance or not vote for it. The current ordinance will expire January 14th, 2023. We're not looking to modify the existing ordinance but we're recommended that the council renew the ordinance for another three years. As you can see from the charts, this ordinance was used sparingly. Over the last two years we've only filed 48 cases. Over three years it was 120 cases and most of those violations were resolved through the teen court. The purpose of the ordinance is reduced victimization of our youth population during late night hours as well as provide a deterrent for potential criminal acts committed by use. I apologize because you saw quite a few revisions of this ordinance. Originally it was council districts two, four and eight. That was a typo. It should have been two, four and seven that have filed most of the cases. That was oversight on my part. I really apologize. You can see from the charts that we provided this information by council districts and patrol districts. The reason why we provided them those ways is because their boundaries are totally different and there's some crossover with the boundaries. You can see council districts two, four and seven. There were approximately 67% of the filings but what was also interesting is 61% of those filings were in patrol divisions north and northwest. So we have two scheduled public hearings for November 29th and December 13th. That's a little bit different than what you originally saw. The change is from January 10th to November 29th. We realized that that was a work session, not a council meeting. And so we wanted to make sure that public hearings were on council meeting days. With that, I'll answer any questions in reference to the teen ordinance. Questions, Councilor Elizabeth. This isn't for you, Chief. It's actually for municipal courts because I'm supportive of continuing. What concerns me is when we look at the total number of closed cases, open pleas, and then those that have not had any pleas, I've not been pleaded at all. These are minors and a lot of them are looking to move on right after high school, whether that's joining the military or college or a trade school. And so not just this particular ordinance, but any time we have a minor in our municipal court system, I think it's imperative to try to clear those as soon as possible because we don't ever want to be the barrier to entry to a next career or a better life. Correct, I agree with you, Council Member. The information that was provided was a snapshot at that time. We do know that we've been working through the caseloads that we've had ever since we had some of the backlogs related to COVID. Fortunately for us, we've been able to work through a lot of those. What we can do is provide you a more recent snapshot. I will say, kind of looking back at the history related to those that are currently open, we have seen those cases move along the case cycle. So some of those already either set or going through the team court program, but I can provide you that update. Council Member Flores. Thanks, Mayor. Chief, I've been trying to think how you might get this data and not to make it into a science experiment, but I would be curious for the council districts identified, how many schools in the areas within a certain radius where the violations were found occurred? I'm looking for patterns, basically. Are there schools that have more of a curfew problem versus others? And so essentially that, just looking for a correlation of violations to school enrollment. We can definitely try and work on that data and get it to you. Okay, thank you, sir. You bet. Anybody else? Council Member Nettles. Okay, I have a few questions. One of the things is how we communicate this information out. I heard you say we've been having this for a while, but I think when we had a couple of the shootings in the summer, a lot of the communities all come out and saying, asking for the city to implement a curfew. But we obviously already had it in play. So is there something that maybe we can go back to the community and say, hey, this is the ordinance that is in play. Maybe if we're gonna re-adopt it, how can we get that communication back out to the community? That'd be a great opportunity to use our social media platforms and reach out to the HOAs and all the community members to let them know that it's in place and that we have one. Okay, so I was reading this ordinance and I believe it said somewhere they are given a citation on scene once they define if they are violating the ordinance. Is there a mechanism where, so these are young children, these are minors. Is there a mechanism where we are able to call the adult they're associated with? We do. Okay. So let's issue a citation and let them continue to walk down the street. So we actually call the adult, have them come out and take custody of the child. Okay, do we have a warning process or are they each time there? It's not each time. I mean, we definitely use our discretion and in what situation we find the use in. So not every situation are we gonna write a citation. I mean, if it looks like it's something very harmless, maybe they're at a school playing basketball, there's definitely opportunities for us to reach out to the parents, have them come pick the kids up and no citations issue. However, if we're getting multiple complaints of criminal activity or let's say cars getting broken into for an example, then we would probably issue that citation, call the parents out and have them come get them. Okay, and I saw that it talked about public places. Public places are more like stores, schools, city property. What about neighborhoods? They're hanging out in front of the house or two doors down, is that considered public place or something so you may be getting calls that you got kids hanging outside, it should go in the house, whoop, whoop, whoop. I mean, if we get those calls, we'll probably knock on the door or at least say, hey, can you go in the house? I mean, we do have an ordinance in place. I wouldn't anticipate we would go out and write a ticket if somebody was just a couple of doors down from their house. Okay, and you can verify that by maybe ID or where you live. Okay. Thank you, Chief. You bet. Any other questions for Council? No, I'm curious on the- I'm gonna make it. Go ahead, Jared. I was just gonna ask Chief to speak to, I was looking at the curfew filings by race and ethnicity and notice that our black kids are double in terms of proportionality to the city's representation. Could you speak to that a little bit? Well, a lot of those are depending on what area that we encounter these individuals. I mean, if they're near their house, near a public place that isn't far away from their house, depending on the demographics of that community, that's how some of these filings actually occur. Unless I looked at every one of the calls, it's hard for me to give you a definitive answer. Thank you for that. I just asked that question because similar to Councilwoman Beck's concerns, I'm always concerned when we're creating records for youth, especially when it's disproportionate to our population. Yeah, Councilman Nettles. Okay, I'm sorry, Mayor, let me just add, and that was a good point that Jared brought up and I was gonna bring that point up, but then when I looked at, because the front page says two, four and seven, which in some cases are not minority areas. If we look at the demographics of the council districts and to see that 2020 and 2021 for sure, not so much in 22, the black percentage was higher. And so they kind of, I'm throwing this out there, but it kind of concerns me that are certain areas like district two, four and seven are we getting a lot of calls because of the race and they're being targeted or whatever you have you, getting citations, because if you look in district eight and district six and five where we as a city know the majority of the minority black community lives, the percentage is much lower. So that kind of concerns me. I think it's worth looking into how we, how are we getting these calls in for the curfew? Sure. Who's calling them? So just so I'm clear on Councilman Nettles' concern, if I'm looking, Chris go to that second page on page two of four. I'm looking at the curfew filings by race and ethnicity looking at 2022, which is lower. I mean, back to 2020 compared to what they've seen. So you're, if I go across looking at Asian Pacific two, black was four, 13.8%. Hispanic Latina was 11, 37.9%. One other and 11 white. So it looks like we're in a better place based on those percentages of 2020. You're just saying looking back, you were concerned. Okay. Just to make you try to understand. Thank you. My question relates to Councilmember Beck's concerns about the disposition of these cases. If you look in that column, see how many are still pending, no plea are open. And based on the percentages you see in number of age of the youth on average is usually 15 or 16. There's a likelihood that some of those, like the 39 from 2020, those are probably 18, 19 year old kids that are now adults. And I would like to see like Elizabeth said, let's get rid of those. We got to figure that out pretty quickly. We don't want those pending in municipal court. I know the teen court program is unique. We don't have time to go over that today, but just making sure we're giving special consideration to that, especially through COVID, which has been a really disruptive time period. So thank you. Excellent. Thanks, Chief. Thank you. Thank you. The next informal report is the economic development Q4 2022 update. Any questions for Robert? Robert's not here. Oh, he's not? Okay. We pretend. Good thing, Robert. Yeah. Now she does. Yeah. The next informal report is the monthly development activity report and DJ Harrell is available 30 questions. DJ, no. Go ahead, Carlos. DJ, in light of the increase in sustained uptick in requests for permits, both commercial and residential, I know that you and I taught briefly and you kind of stepped through quickly what your department's plans were. You know, I'm still getting feedback that their inspectors are scarce. We've had a lot of canceled, rescheduled and multiple postponements of these inspection meetings. So can you tell us what steps you're taking here just to overview? Yes, sir. Unfortunately, as discussed, it's been really hard to recruit and retain qualified inspectors and pretty much all the trades, mechanical, electrical and plumbing. However, what we've done as a department is we've outsourced some of those inspections to a third party. So about two months ago, we entered into an agreement with a third party company in order to be able to send overflow inspections to the third party and have them try to get us somewhat on track. Even with that, we're still behind on our ability because our target goal is to meet a 24-hour turnaround. So if you call for an inspection, an inspector should drive up within 24 hours. Right now, we're averaging about 48 hours and sometimes that stretches is out to 72 hours. We're still working toward a goal. And another thing I'll add though that second contract that the contract I just mentioned is a second contract. So we've got two third parties that we're currently working with. And part of the problem is we can only send them a limited amount of inspections because they're also struggling with hiring qualified inspectors as well. And so that's part of the challenge as well. I see. Thank you, DJ. That's all the question. Thank you. Thank you, DJ. Thank you. The next info report is on parking arrangements during daytime council meetings and Monning Hall is available if there are any questions. I do have a question. Monning, come on down. Thank you. Thank you for preparing this. This is, I think would be a great access for our city and those who come to the meetings during the daytime. I think it's in the second paragraph and I think it says required to pull a ticket upon entrance of the garage and then upon attendance in the city council. The citizen can be presented the ticket to the city managers who can give them a pass. Now, are you saying that before they come to the city council meeting, they're required to go to city manager first? No, no, not at all. They would go, when they register to speak, there'll be some notes on the website where they register, tell them what to do, where to go park. When they go into the Houston Street garage, they pull a ticket just like any other parker. After they speak, we still gotta work through the logistics of who's gonna hand off the parking coupons, but then we'll talk to someone in the council chambers. They will take their ticket, give them a voucher or a parking coupon and when they leave, they'll be able to exit the garage without any personal out-of-pocket expenses. Okay, okay, because I'm most ready to meet like they need to go to the city manager's office, but what you're saying now, they'll do that in city chambers. Right, right. We still gotta work through exactly those logistics, but that's the spirit of what we're trying to do. Okay, and do we know when this can be implemented? We're targeting to have that ready for the daytime meeting in January 2023. So it won't be available for this next daytime meeting in November, which is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, but we're targeting that first meeting in January to have all the logistics worked out, the website updated and all that stuff. And do we know we're gonna do a presentation or we're just gonna give our communication to the city? We'll have to work through what we need to do on that. We've got a little bit of time, but yeah, we definitely need to work through our communication plan. Thank you for putting this together. We really appreciate it. Councilor Beck. Thank you. Yeah. I think it's important that, moving forward with this, we not limited to registered speakers because oftentimes large groups come to be recognized or multiple people come as a group with one registered speaker. And so I think, I get where we're going with that, but if they've come into the chamber to attend the city council meeting, I think that should be enough to warrant the free parking. Okay. Yeah, we can work on adjusting the policy as appropriate for that. Okay. I'm assuming Monty will work with city secretary's office on the logistics side. Absolutely. Yeah, I talked to them and the city manager's office about that January date before. Okay. We can up here. Sounds good. Thank you, Monty. Okay. Our next informal report is on translation guidelines used for meetings and information and Michelle Good is available if there are any questions. Any questions for Michelle? All right. Our final informal report is on the update on Panther Island and the path forward and Dana Bergdorf is available if there are any questions. I know it's a short IR, but Dana, if you don't mind just pretty much reading off what that is for the public to understand. Thank you, mayor. Dana Bergdorf assistant city manager. So with the announcement of the federal funding for the central city project, the $403 million for the central city bypass channel and associated flood control improvements are attention turned to the property on Panther Island that is subject to a form-based code and subject to a plan from over 15 years ago. And so in discussions with property owners and other stakeholders, we agreed that we should come together and try to figure out how to address the planning for Panther Island. So we worked with, city worked with the Tarrant Regional Water District in Tarrant County who are members of the Trinity River Vision Authority as well as with the Tarrant County College District that owns property on the island with the real estate council of Greater Fort Worth because we're talking about primarily commercial and non-single family development as well as downtown Fort Worth Inc. It's adjacent to Panther Island and could be considered an extension of downtown as well as streams and valleys, which of course has been a long time stakeholder and supporter of all things along the Trinity River and the tributaries. And so the staff from those different entities, we all came together and talked about how we can update our plan, refresh it going forward with current market conditions. And so we decided that what would be best is to have a consultant help us, particularly one with national expertise with downtown or downtown adjacent and waterfront expertise with regard to, again, redevelopment. We wanna think about highest and best use, but we also need to consider the constraints of the infrastructure and the long-term investment that we're making with regard to flood control and canals and so on. So we've issued the RFP in October and proposals came in this past Thursday. We received six proposals. And so staff from the different agencies will be coming together to review those and select firms to interview at the end of this month or early December. And then we'll come back to city council with a recommendation since the city's primary role with regard to Panther Island is development and economic development then it's appropriate for the city to be the one to have that contract in cooperation and collaboration with the other entities that we're working with. Thank you, Dana. Any questions for Dana? No. Thank you for your leadership on this. Thank you. Mayor, that concludes my report. Okay, council next item is questions regarding city council M&C log for coming council meeting on November 29th. Any questions on that? No. Then we'll go to our presentation on proposed tax evapement agreement with beauty manufacturing solutions corp. I think Sherry Gordon is gonna lead that discussion. Thank you. The purpose of the presentation today is to provide information on proposed tax evapement for beauty manufacturing solutions corp. Punching. I am not punching. Thank you. Beauty manufacturing solutions corp is a high tech manufacturer of beauty products including Naterra, L'Oreal, Johnson & Johnson, Mary Kay, Unilever, Treehead and others based in Capell. Their current plant is 500,000 plus square feet and has over 500 jobs. They've outgrown that location. They're in their third expansion and have continued growth expected. They were founded in 1922 as superior products and acquired by the Song family in 94. They're a certified minority owned company with 70% women in the workforce. I'm gonna get this right eventually. We're looking at a location at 5650 Alliance Gateway, building two at Alliance Gateway in the top right corner. This location's been vacant for some time so it's a very nice fit for the project. Our competing sites included Mansfield, Texas, Grand Prairie, Dallas, Oklahoma City and Monterey, Mexico. The retrofit that existing 445 approximate thousand square foot building with a proposed capital of 70 million, 30 million in real property improvements and 40 million in business personal property, including 250 full-time jobs by December 31st, 2025. And the average annual salary for all jobs will be above 65,800. Again, the capital investment commitments are there 30 million by December 31st, 2024 and 40 million by January 1st, 2026 with the 250 full-time jobs as mentioned and the average annual salary and the 15% commitment. So the proposed incentive terms are here. We're recommending a 10 year tax abatement up to 70% of the real and business personal property that abatement caps at two million. The cap increases to 3.5 million if they invest additional at least 90 million by 2028. We're tying that incentive again to the investment cost, to the average wage and to the number of jobs. On the summary, we have a ratio of almost 45 to one and the payback at 3.38 years. And staff recommends that we enter into the 10 year tax abatement agreement up to 70% of the personal property taxes with a public hearing and MNC on November 29. And that concludes the presentation. Any questions? Questions for Sherry? No? Excellent. Thank you very much. Council, we're gonna move to our next item, which is with Brandy Kelp who's gonna update us on our open space conservation program. And yet again from open space, I know a lot of you have heard some of these updates in our recent comp plan update sessions, but we've got some acquisitions coming up so we thought we'd kind of go over where we're at with the open space program at this time. I've circled the areas in red. These are our top priorities for the city for acquisition. We're trying to create a linear trail system along the entire Sycamore Creek watershed, capturing land as we're under heavy development pressure in the Walsh Ranch and Veal Ranch areas. We're in the same situation in far northwest Fort Worth as well as out by the Nature Center. And you may ask, why would we be focusing next to the Nature Center? We're looking at free public access open space so it's a little bit different than what people would experience at the Nature Center, which is a paid entry. And one of the questions that comes up a lot is, why are we looking in a lot of these areas out in the ETJ? And it's really pretty simple. That's where most of our available land is. And by the time that gets annexed into the city, it will either be gone or it will be far outside our budget to be able to acquire at that time. So we're trying to be preemptive with that. At the same time, we're trying to focus on areas, generally smaller parcels where we can, anywhere in the central city along the River Legacy, or not River Legacy, sorry, Trinity River Trail Systems that hopefully we'll eventually connect into that. And like the Petino Road and Acilla Acquisitions, which again are smaller, but they're in the more urban developed areas. And so quick note on our funding. These are our current funding sources. None of them at the time, this time can be used for maintenance. So we are still exploring our options for a sustainable funding source for all of the capital improvements that we're making at these sites and all of the maintenance funding right now is coming out of park and rec and that is in turn coming from the general fund. And so we're looking at ways that we can better support the program in the long run without continuing to rely on the general fund and parks. And so some of the upcoming acquisitions on November 29th, we've got the MNC for Nosillo, which is a smaller site, but it is home to some rare migratory bird species. They've been cataloged by a member of the Fort Worth Audubon Society for several years. They're partnering with us, looking at potentially building some bird blinds out on the site. So it could really be a very unique environmental education opportunity. And that one, like I said, is going November 29th, along with the Lake Arlington shoreline. These parcels would help us fill in some of the gaps. The city already owns several parcels in the area and these would create a more contiguous connection between all of those existing parcels. This is a joint acquisition with parks where each contributing 50%. So half of that acquisition will remain open space and half will be park land, which will help extend Eugene McCrae Park and really kind of turn this into a destination along the planned ATP trails out there. And then at Primrose Station, this is one where parks has been working with the developer and instead of paying the park dedication fees, basically open space is paying for that and we will be able to obtain 50 acres for a little over half million dollars, or yeah, a little over half million dollars. So that's a great deal for us. And again, it's critical habitat. This stream flows directly into Lake Benbrook. This would also allow for a connection between the Candle Ridge Park, existing trails, the planned community park here, and then the developer will put in the trails connecting us to the Lake Benbrook property. So this would really extend the existing trail system in that area. And then the Melcher property is in Far South West Fort Worth. It's really beautiful property, not quite 50 acres. And again, this is a way for us to connect through the West Fort Trinity River to the other side of Lake Benbrook. And this is immediately South of all the Veal Ranch development. So it's a significant site in an area that is experiencing really profound development at the moment. And then this is just a table showing our completed acquisitions, those that are in progress here in blue, and then the MNCs are coming up, and then the ones that are in progress, these are pretty far along in the process. We've ordered the appraisal on Melcher and the primary station, we're in the discussions with the developer. So we do anticipate that we'll be moving forward with both of those, unless something really unexpected comes up. And so that puts us at a total of 2 million, a little over 2 million left on our gas lease funding and a little over 11 million on the bond. But of course, we're also exploring many other areas in the city as you saw. So we anticipate those funds will continue to be spent at a pretty rapid pace. And then just to note on external funding, we recently received the $150,000 grants. This will finish out the trails, broadcast till Tandy Hills and Strat for natural areas and help us install signage to prevent removal. It'll be a complete transformation for those sites. And then we're meeting on Thursday with COG and the joint reserve base on potential REPE funding. And this would help us secure some properties on the north side of Lake Worth. And then we had another foundation reach out because of the grant that we just got. And they're interested in funding some acquisitions or projects with us. And so some of the major initiatives, again, that sustainable funding source or exploring options, seeing what would be our best path forward to basically establish some type of fund for open space and whatever form that takes. And then we are drafting a separate chapter in city code. We're targeting spring for this. And this would basically just establish all of the rules for our natural areas. So very similar to the parks chapter, but just helping establish the difference between the two. And so are there any questions? Just when you have that conversation with the base and COG about the REPE funding, the Regional Transportation Council, not too long ago actually paid to purchase a piece of property on the southern end of the runway because it was in the accident potential zone. And so when you have that conversation outside of REPE funding, do they have any additional dollars to do what we did on the southern end of the runway with the northern end of the runway? I'm not sure there's any property left. I'll take a look, but- You said on the north shore. Oh, so it would actually be across. Okay, okay. Yeah, because I think the runways run all the way up on the south shore. So we're actually looking to the flight path on the northern end of the lake. But if it's still in one of those accident potential zones- Oh, absolutely. Yeah, okay. Any other questions from Rainey? Jared, go ahead. Is it Sour Patch Kids? Is that what you got? No, it's a Lemon Mint Ricola. Oh, that's not as good, okay. No, no, I'm slowly recovering. That's a lot sadder. Very much so. On the PowerPoint about Primrose Station, first of all, thank you for all the work that you did with the developers in our office and Great Plains Restoration Council on that. I'm really excited about it. I just wanted to clarify. The connection will be to C.P. Hadley Park, not Canderidge Park. I know some of our residents in Canderidge might be overly excited, but- Oh, apologies, apologies. That's actually, I must have pulled up the wrong one when I went through that layer, so sorry about that. No worries, just wanted to clarify for the record. And then really excited about those trails, ultimately working their way back to the Chisholm Trail Park and our Chisholm Trail Community Center. So thanks for all the hard work. Thank you. Any other questions for Brandy? That's all. Thank you very much. Looks like that's a conclusion of our presentations. Our last item, Council's request for future agenda items or reports. Anybody have any future agenda items? Go ahead. Jared, go ahead. One, okay. Go ahead, Jared. One second. So we recently had an incident in District 6 at the Park Lake Child Development Center. Long story short, a mother of one of the students there had made some threats to campus staff and also to her own children and herself. And there was multiple 911 calls made in the first response. Didn't show up till about two hours later. So as a follow-up today incident, I've met with Chief Staff and Carol Waddell with CCA. I wanted to request a future IR regarding the current policy for 911 call prioritization and then best practices regarding respondent to violent threats at childcare centers and elementary schools. And ACM Costa and Chief Aldridge, I sent them an email. So they kind of know more about that. So if y'all have any questions about the report, just feel free to reach out to me. Any other items? Go ahead, Allen. So the Urban Land Institute just completed a study of possible and property over by Gateway Park. I would like to see that brought here as an informal report. Michael, anything from you? No? Sure. Two things. One, in light of what we talked about earlier, the Institute for Justice did a report today. They looked at the city of Fort Worth and put together barriers to business steps to start businesses in Fort Worth. I'd like them to come or some way present to this group so they can see, because there will be some, probably we will have to have a discussion about policy changes to help our small businesses and if that's a route that we want to go. It was very great. Anybody wants it, I think Katie has it and we'll send it out to everybody here. So you see what they reported is very good. So that's one thing. The second thing I'd like to see just in line for our audit conversation, everything today we had today is when proposals are put forward, obviously with the budget and other things, we know the costs, but much like the state does a fiscal note on anything, I think that would be good for us and our citizens to understand what things would cost when they come forward. So if that makes, okay. Thanks, Michael. Leonard, no? Chris, go ahead. I did have an opportunity to meet with Dana today, but I do want to get the report of, I know she's made with our staff, I mean our council on the STRs. I'm getting a lot of calls and emails about when we're going to be bringing that back to council. So I'm asking for a report on that. Also, I'm asking, so when we was in council this last time during the election, again, I think we talked about trying to put the council video on the main page of the website. I think it happened one day and then it went away. It happened again. Yeah, I think it happened once and then. Okay, so I'm asking about that again, how we can make that possible if we're not able to. And then with that, I know I talked to Renee about when they were in training about the issue with Facebook, but if we can get a full report on that issue, it would be great. Also, I would like a report on the policy, and we talked about this in the exact, the policy on a reasonable distance when an officer is setting up a perimeter around a crime scene or a stop. What is the protocol for implementing the distance? And does the protocol change if the citizens is filming an officer on scene? We can get a report on that. And then lastly, let me see. Lastly, I want to report on ongoing training for our police officers. Does it change when they go into a higher rank and how often is, what type of training is given for each rank officer? So that's all I have. That's where we're back. Sure, I have two. I'd like a list of all of the both external and internal advisory boards that our police and fire department utilized to dialogue with about just various activities within their department. And those that are formal and those that are also maybe ad hoc or informal would be helpful. I'd also like to get an update on the number of firearms that we've taken off the street as part of our forward safe initiative. Since the inception of that particular program, I'd just like to get a handle on that. And then when we get that, if we could also get a breakdown of how many of those were juvenile folks that we took weapons from and those that were over 18 would be helpful. Thank you. Anybody else? Yeah, go ahead, curls. David, you may already have this in the pipeline, but I'll go ahead and state it. I think MedStar is scheduled to do an introduction to the new chief medical officer, Dr. Jarvis on the six. Is that the case? Are we lined up for that? Okay, good. They may have some additional information to share. I'm just waiting to hear from them as to what that format's gonna be and whether or not it's gonna be on the six as well. All right, thank you. Only Adam, I have is related to our conversation to increase our paid paternity leave from six weeks to 12 weeks. I know that HR was looking at that potential. I know there's a significant fiscal note for us, but if a new year, if we could just bring that back into Stux as a council, be great. Perfect. Thank you very much. May Parker, does that include council members? Sure, Jared. Yeah, you're right in time for due date, right? Seven weeks away, y'all, seven weeks away. Better social than me. Anybody else? Yes. Okay. Meetings adjourned. Thank you so much.
