[3.1. Plano ISD Long Range Facility Planning Overview]

AND I WILL INVITE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT JOHNNY HILL TO PRESENT.

WELL, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY. ALRIGHT.

GREAT GROUP. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING.

WELL YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND I WANTED TO TAKE JUST A FEW MINUTES TO GO THROUGH, KIND OF GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON ON WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE PROCESS AND WHERE WE'RE HEADED FROM HERE.

[00:05:01]

OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST ONE I START AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS LAST SPRING, WE HAD CONDUCTED A STRATEGIC STUDY IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE CALL IT OUR STRATEGIC ROADMAP.

AND THERE WERE CERTAIN RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT STUDY.

THERE WERE CERTAIN PILLARS.

THERE WERE FIVE PILLARS THAT WE INTRODUCED.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DIRECT OUR WORK FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

PILLAR FIVE WAS THE ONE THAT SPECIFICALLY TALKED ABOUT BUSINESS, OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES.

AND IN THE PILLAR FIVE SAYS THAT PLANO ISD, WE WILL MAXIMIZE RESOURCES IN COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO ACHIEVE DISTRICT GOALS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF BOTH STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF. AND ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES UNDER PILLAR FIVE, SO THAT WE NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT AND DEVELOP PLANS TO EFFICIENTLY USE OUR DISTRICT FACILITIES, THAT WE COULD EXPAND OUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS.

AND AS A RESULT OF THOSE STUDIES OF THAT STUDY, WE OF COURSE, STARTED WITH THE LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING.

WHAT WE HOPE TO GAIN WITH THIS STUDY IS WE WANTED TO LOOK AT ACCESS FOR ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS.

WE WANTED TO ANALYZE STUDENT ENROLLMENT AT EACH ONE OF OUR OF OUR SCHOOLS.

WE WANTED TO EVALUATE HOW PROGRAMING, HIGH QUALITY PROGRAMING.

WE WANTED TO CONSIDER IF OUR IF OUR BUILDINGS WERE BEING USED EFFICIENTLY.

AND THEN WE WANTED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE RESOURCES WERE BEING FAIRLY ALLOCATED AMONGST OUR STUDENTS.

ANOTHER RESULTS OF THIS STUDY.

WHAT COULD OR WOULD LEAD TO, HOPEFULLY, BETTER SERVING OUR STUDENTS.

IT MAY LEAD TO RESTRUCTURING OF SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES OR EVEN CONSOLIDATION OF SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES.

ULTIMATELY, THOUGH, THE STUDY OF THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS CAPACITIES WILL BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUPPORTING OUR OUR THRIVING SCHOOLS, CLASSROOMS, STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND SCHOOL LEADERS.

NOW, ALL OF THIS SHOULD POINT TO OR SHOULD HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR STUDENTS.

AND SO THE MAIN REASON WE'RE DOING THIS, OF COURSE, IS TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR STUDENTS.

AND SOME OF THE DIRECT IMPACTS THAT WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS IS TO PROVIDE HIGHER QUALITY FACILITIES AND PROGRAMING FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR RESOURCES ARE BEING EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE EQUITABLE ACCESS FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND PROGRAMS. AND THEN WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE OPEN ACCESS TO A BROADER RANGE OF STUDENTS AND PEER INTERACTIONS.

AND IN ORDER TO STUDY, OF COURSE, YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE YOUR CAMPUSES.

AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE WANTED TO DO THIS IS TO HAVE AN OBJECTIVE, OBJECTIVE FRAMEWORK IN ORDER TO TAKE ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES THROUGH.

AND SO THE DATA THAT WENT INTO THAT EVALUATION OR THAT IS GOING INTO THAT EVALUATION, EVALUATION, OF COURSE, IS STUDENT ENROLLMENT NUMBER ONE.

BUILDING CAPACITIES AND EFFICIENCIES, NUMBER TWO.

FACILITY ASSESSMENT SCORES NUMBER THREE.

NOW FACILITY ASSESSMENT SCORES.

OF COURSE, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF WAYS YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT FACILITY ASSESSMENTS.

WE LOOKED AT, OF COURSE, THE AGE AND THE USEFUL LIFE OF A BUILDING.

WE LOOKED AT HOW MUCH WORK WAS GOING IN TO UP KEEPING THOSE BUILDINGS.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, JUST A PHYSICAL INSPECTION FROM OUR FROM OUR STAFF OF HOW, YOU KNOW, HOW THE BUILDINGS WERE WEATHERING.

AND THEN FINALLY JUST LOOKING AT COST, OPERATING COSTS PER STUDENT, PER BUILDING.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD THAT, WHEN WE HAVE BOND ELECTIONS, BOND ELECTIONS ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE EXPENSIVE.

SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE CAPITAL COST OF OF REPAIRING, RENOVATING OR REPLACING BUILDINGS AND THEN ACTUALLY EVEN BREAKING IT DOWN TO A PER STUDENT COST.

PUSHING THE BUTTON. THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT. YOU FOLLOW ALL THAT? ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS A BUSY SLIDE, BUT I THINK IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT THAT YOU START OFF WITH A STUDENT ENROLLMENT.

THIS IS JUST A HISTORY OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS OF OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENT.

IT'S A BAR GRAPH.

YOU CAN LOOK ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT, UP AT THE TOP.

DO YOU SEE IN RED THE 55,659? THAT IS THE LARGEST NUMBER OF STUDENT ENROLLMENTS THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE HISTORY OF PLANO ISD.

THAT HAPPENED IN 2011, 2012.

THE ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT HERE TO NOTE THAT EVERY YEAR SINCE THEN, WE HAVE BEEN GOING DOWN IN STUDENT ENROLLMENT.

SO FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS, WE HAVE WE HAVE DECREASED IN ENROLLMENT THROUGH THE COVID YEARS.

WE TOOK A PRETTY GOOD AN ADDITIONAL DECREASE IN ENROLLMENT.

SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THAT, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE BLUE GRAPH IS ACTUAL YEARS.

[00:10:01]

WE WORK WITH THE DEMOGRAPHER TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE STAY ON TOP OF WHAT OUR GROWTH IS DOING.

I WILL SAY THAT THE DEMOGRAPHER GIVES YOU A TEN YEAR OUTLOOK, A TEN YEAR LOOK.

WE ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE FIRST FIVE YEARS BECAUSE AFTER THAT WE CALL IT A LITTLE FUZZY MATH.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY'RE VERY ACCURATE FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS OUT.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY PROJECT US TO CONTINUE TO GO DOWN.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT SINCE OUR HIGH POINT IN 2011, 2012 TILL NOW, WE'VE LOST ABOUT 7700 STUDENTS AND WE'RE PROJECTED OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS TO LOSE ABOUT 3500 MORE.

SO 11,000 STUDENTS OVER THAT THAT 1617 YEAR PERIOD.

AND SO THE QUESTION CAN COME UP, WELL, HOW ACCURATE IS THE DEMOGRAPHER.

HOW ACCURATE IS THE NUMBERS YOU'RE USING? I CAN SAY THAT EACH ONE OF THOSE YEARS THAT WERE REPRESENTED BY A BAR GRAPH EACH YEAR, EACH COLUMN IS A YEAR OVER YEAR COMPARISON.

IT'S THE LAST FRIDAY IN OCTOBER OF EACH YEAR IS WHEN THAT WHEN YOU SEE THAT ENROLLMENT NUMBER, IT IS AUDITED BY THE STATE EACH YEAR.

AND WE CALL THAT OUR SNAPSHOT DATE.

THAT WAY WE CAN ACTUALLY DO A TRUE A YEAR OVER YEAR COMPARISON SINCE LAST FRIDAY IN OCTOBER OF EVERY YEAR.

YOU CAN SAY THAT FOR THIS FALL, WE HAD AN ENROLLMENT OF 47909.

THE DEMOGRAPHER PROJECTED US TO BE AT A LITTLE OVER 48,000.

THAT'S ABOUT 174 KIDS OFF.

BUT OUT OF 48,000, THAT'S PRETTY ACCURATE.

IT'S LESS THAN, YOU KNOW, LESS THAN ONE HALF OF 1%.

SO WE FEEL WE HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE.

THE DEMOGRAPHER IS ON TOP OF OUR NUMBERS.

A QUESTION THAT DOES COME UP QUITE OFTEN AND THAT IS, WELL, IF YOU'RE LOSING KIDS, YOU KNOW, WHY ARE YOU LOSING KIDS? WHAT? YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE REASON BEHIND THAT? AND OBVIOUSLY IT'S, THERE'S MULTIPLE REASONS FOR THAT.

I'VE LISTED A JUST A FEW OF THEM HERE.

AND OF COURSE, IT'S NOT AN ALL INCLUSIVE LIST.

THERE'S OTHER REASONS AS WELL.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT JUST WHAT WHAT NORMALLY CAUSES A SCHOOL DISTRICT TO GROW, YOU CAN LOOK AT, THE FACT OF THE LAND THAT'S AVAILABLE TO BE BUILT OUT.

WE'RE PREDOMINANTLY BUILT OUT IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

ADDITIONALLY, OUR COST PER HOUSE THIS LAST YEAR, AVERAGE COST WAS ABOUT 584,000.

THAT IS GOING UP EACH YEAR.

AND THEN ALSO I LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS JUST, LAST YESTERDAY, THIS YEAR, WE WERE EXPECTED TO GRADUATE ABOUT 3900 SENIORS.

AND OUR KINDERGARTEN CLASS THIS YEAR WAS RIGHT, JUST RIGHT, A FEW KIDS OVER 3000.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT EACH YEAR WE'RE LOSING ABOUT 900 STUDENTS A YEAR AS THEY GRADUATE.

AND INCOMING CLASSES ARE ABOUT 900 KIDS LESS.

YOU CAN SEE AS THAT GOES THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THAT THAT'S HAPPENING.

WE'RE ACTUALLY STILL HAVE FAMILIES MOVING INTO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE MOVING OUT.

AND THEN ALSO WE HAVE THIS NATURAL JUST AGING OUT OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IT'S IT'S NORMAL.

I THINK IF YOU LOOK AROUND US AND LOOK AT OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND US, YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATIONS THAT WE ARE.

DALLAS, RICHARDSON, EVEN ALLEN ARE FACING THESE SAME CONVERSATIONS.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME DECREASES IN BIRTH RATES.

AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOUSES THAT ARE A LITTLE A LITTLE LESS EXPENSIVE, I'VE GOT TWO GROWN KIDS.

THEY'RE STARTING FAMILIES.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT MY SON HAD ACTUALLY BOUGHT A HOUSE OUT NORTH OF 75 IN HOWELL, TEXAS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY COULD AFFORD TO BUY A HOUSE.

SO YOU SEE A LOT OF YOUNGER FAMILIES, IF YOU LOOK THROUGH MELISSA AND ANNA, A LOT OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS GOING UP, UP NORTH.

SO I DO WANT TO RUN THROUGH, I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS BEING A LOT OF NUMBERS ON HERE, BUT I DO WANT TO JUST POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS.

THIS IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT A CAPACITY, HOW MUCH CAPACITY YOU HAVE IN THE FACILITIES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

THIS IS A CHART OF THAT.

WHAT I WOULD ASK YOU TO LOOK AT IS THE LAST ROW WHERE IT'S WHERE YOU'VE GOT THE BOLD FACED IN RED, JUST TO POINT OUT.

AND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE HAVE FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY SEATS IN OUR SCHOOLS OF 65,730, AND WE COULD TALK A LONG TIME ABOUT PROGRAM CAPACITY AND FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY.

BUT BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IS WHAT WE CAN COMFORTABLY SIT IN OUR OVERALL SCHOOLS.

THOSE ARE SEATS IN OUR SCHOOLS.

YOU CAN SEE AS OF THE LAST DAY OF THE OF THE YEAR, WE HAD 48,759, WHICH IS 74%.

BUT IF YOU TAKE THAT ONE MORE YEAR OVER, IT'S, 47, 907 OR I'M SORRY, 47 909.

THAT'S A LITTLE OVER 92%.

AND IF YOU WALK THAT OUT JUST A FEW YEARS, EVEN THREE YEARS OUT, YOU'RE HITTING 70%.

IF YOU WALK THAT OUT, EVEN A FEW YEARS MORE THAN THAT, YOU'RE HITTING LESS THAN 70%.

SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A TREND THAT WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO IN ORDER TO, CONTINUE TO OPERATE OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AS EFFICIENTLY AS WE CAN.

[00:15:01]

YOU YOU HAVE YOU CAN HAVE REGENERATION.

YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE CAPACITIES THAT TO HANDLE SOME OF THAT.

BUT THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE RECEIVED IS THERE IS A TARGET, TO BE AS EFFICIENT AS YOU CAN BETWEEN 80 AND 85% AND STILL ALLOW SOME EFFICIENCY FOR SOME KIND OF REGENERATION.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE I GUESS THE ULTIMATE POINT THAT YOU'D LIKE TO HIT IF YOU LOOK BACK IN 2011, 2012, WE WERE AT 84.68%, AND THAT WAS AT OUR VERY, VERY HIGHEST POINT.

THAT STILL LEFT US WITH OVER 10,000 OPEN SEATS, EVEN AT THAT POINT.

OKAY. I WILL SAY THAT, YOU SAW THAT, THAT PEAK.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHER AND GOING OUT 2829, THE DEMOGRAPHER HAS THIS AT 44 OR 1 151 I BELIEVE THAT'S ABOUT 67% CAPACITY. OKAY.

SO THAT'S SOME THAT'S WHY WE NEED A BE LOOKING AT THIS IN EARNEST.

IF YOU LOOK AT OUR CAPACITIES BY BY BUILDING, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, BUT WE HAVE 44 ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES.

OUT OF THOSE 44, WE HAVE 12 THAT ACTUALLY HAVE CAPACITIES OF LESS THAN 65%.

WE HAVE 13 MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

WE HAVE FIVE OF THOSE 13 THAT HAVE CAPACITY OF LESS THAN 65%.

WE HAVE FIVE OF THE SEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS, LESS THAN 65%, ALL OF OUR HIGH.

OUR SENIOR HIGHS ARE OVER THE 65%.

SO A WHILE AGO, WHENEVER I TALKED ABOUT THIS, THIS, YOU KNOW, HAVING, ABOUT 4000 SENIORS, 3900 SENIORS GRADUATING AND ABOUT 3000 KINDERGARTNERS COMING IN, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HOW THAT GOES THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, NINE TEN HIGH SCHOOLS.

IT HASN'T HIT THE SENIOR HIGHS YET.

THAT'S WHY YOU SEE 003.

BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THAT IT'S IT'S IN THE 9-10 AS IT GOES THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

THEY JUST THAT MAKES SENSE.

ALSO BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AT ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES CHANGES IN QUITE A WHILE IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE HAVE SOME INEFFICIENCIES.

WE HAVE SOME WE ACTUALLY HAVE, MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS THAT IS AT 105% UTILIZATION.

IT'S IT'S OVER, OVER FULL.

AND YET WE HAVE ANOTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT IS AT 36%, OCCUPIED.

SO OBVIOUSLY, PART OF THIS WORK NEEDS TO BE REBALANCING, THESE SOME OF THESE CAMPUSES OUT.

SO AS FAR AS AGE OF THE BUILDING, YOU GUYS, I KNOW SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME, WITH CITY OF PLANO.

AND, ONE THING THAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT, WHEN WE HAD VERY, VERY FAST GROWTH, JUST LIKE YOUR HOUSE, IF YOU HAVE A HOUSE THAT YOU'VE HAD FOR 20, 25 YEARS, YOU NEED TO POUR MONEY INTO IT AFTER ABOUT 20, 25 YEARS BECAUSE YOUR STUFF INSIDE YOUR HOUSE STARTS BREAKING DOWN.

WELL, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE AT THAT POINT IN A LOT OF OUR FACILITIES.

WE HAVE 13 OF OUR 44, OF OUR ELEMENTARIES ARE OVER 45 YEARS OF AGE.

FIVE OF OUR 13 MIDDLE SCHOOLS, TWO OF OUR SEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS AND ONE OF OUR THREE SENIOR HIGHS, ALL AT ALL ARE AT THAT AGE THAT THEY NEED SOME SOME MAJOR WORK DONE.

OBVIOUSLY, I THINK OUR STAFF HAVE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF ACTUALLY ASSESSING, EACH OF OUR BUILDINGS, NOT ONLY OUR ALL OF OUR INSTRUCTIONAL BUILDINGS, BUT ALL OF OUR WE HAVE 19 AUXILIARY BUILDINGS AS WELL.

THEY'VE GONE THROUGH AND THEY'VE LOOKED AT ALL THE COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE BUILDINGS THAT HAVE TO BE REPAIRED, REPLACED OR RENOVATED.

AND SO, THEY ACTUALLY ASSESSED AT A SCORE, THE SCORE, IF YOU REMEMBER EARLIER, USEFUL LIFE.

THE MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND THEN THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

BUT THE SCORES, THEY ACTUALLY ASSIGN A 0 TO 100.

OBVIOUSLY, THE LOWER THE SCORE, THE WORSE SHAPE IT'S IN.

22 OF THE 44 ELEMENTARIES HAD A HAD AN ASSESSMENT SCORE OF UNDER A 60.

TEN OF THE 13 MIDDLE SCHOOLS HAD AN ASSESSMENT SCORE OF UNDER 60.

THREE OF THE SEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS HAD AN ASSESSMENT SCORE OF UNDER 60, AND EVERY ONE OF OUR SENIOR HIGH'S HAD AN ASSESSMENT SCORE UNDER UNDER 60.

OKAY. SO OPERATING SAVINGS, AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF THAT GOES INTO THE BUILDING.

I'M TALKING ABOUT JUST THE ACTUAL FIXED COST OF ACTUALLY OPERATING A BUILDING.

EACH ONE OF OUR ELEMENTARIES, WE POUR 450 TO $750,000 A YEAR INTO MAINTAINING THOSE FACILITIES.

THE REASON WHY YOU SEE A PRETTY GOOD SWING THERE IS BECAUSE IN OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE, EXTREMELY SMALL, AND THEN WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE PRETTY LARGE.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT BIG SWING THERE.

OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE A LOT MORE, THE FOOTPRINTS ARE A LOT MORE SIMILAR.

AND IT'S ABOUT A 2000 OR, I'M SORRY, $2 MILLION A YEAR FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

AND ON THE NINE, TEN HIGH SCHOOLS, ABOUT $4 MILLION PER YEAR.

NOW, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, AND THIS IS WHERE I THINK IF YOU TALK ABOUT REAL.

I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH A LOT OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND WE TALK ABOUT, WELL, 450,000 OUT OF A BUDGET LIKE OURS IS PRETTY SMALL POTATOES.

[00:20:06]

TO ACTUALLY RENOVATE OR I'M SORRY, TO REPLACE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL RIGHT NOW.

60 ABOUT $60 MILLION.

$60 MILLION.

I CAN REMEMBER 25 YEARS AGO, VERY FIRST, ELEMENTARY THAT I WAS PART OF BUILDING, IT WAS LESS THAN $10 MILLION.

SO THAT'S HOW FAST IT'S GONE UP.

I HAVE A FRIEND THAT'S A CFO AT LAKE TRAVIS ISD.

IF YOU KNOW WHERE THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY IS, SHE JUST GOT A PRICE.

THIS LAST WEEK, I TALKED WITH HER ON SUNDAY.

FOR AN ELEMENTARY, IT'S A LARGER FOOTPRINT.

850 KIDS, $89 MILLION.

THE PRICE JUST CAME IN ON THAT.

SO OBVIOUSLY, A LOT OF MONEY TO ACTUALLY REPLACE, AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

SO WE NEED TO BE SUPER CAREFUL WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT THAT WE ACTUALLY NEED THE CAPACITY TO DO THAT.

IF YOU ACTUALLY WALK THAT THROUGH AND LOOK AT A MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHAT DOES IT COST ON A MIDDLE SCHOOL? WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT PRICES ON THAT.

IT'S ABOUT 107 TO $110 MILLION.

AND OF COURSE, WHEN ON A HIGH SCHOOL, WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY RENOVATING ONE OF OUR SENIOR HIGH'S RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S RIGHT AT $200 MILLION.

OKAY. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRYING TO BE AS EFFICIENT AS WE CAN, YOU CAN I CAN GET UP TO $1 BILLION REALLY QUICK.

AND SO WE WANT TO JUST BE SUPER, SUPER CAREFUL WITH HOW WE'RE UTILIZING OUR FACILITIES.

WHEN WE LOOK AT COST PER STUDENT.

THIS IS JUST ECONOMIES OF SCALE, WHEN YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF KIDS IN A BUILDING OR WHETHER YOU HAVE VERY FEW SCHOOL, KIDS IN A BUILDING ON THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THESE ARE ACTUAL NUMBERS. THIS IS WHAT IT COST TO ACTUALLY OPERATE EACH ONE OF THESE BUILDINGS.

IF YOU BREAK IT DOWN PER STUDENT, ELEMENTARY, IT RANGES ANYWHERE FROM 5518 ALL THE WAY UP TO, JUST A HAIR UNDER 9800.

THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

THAT'S A BIG SWING WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 44 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

THE DIFFERENCE THERE IS IN, OF COURSE, IS YOU CAN SEE IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 753 STUDENTS AND 364.

SO IT'S BASICALLY JUST ECONOMIES OF SCALE.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

IT RANGES FROM 4900 ALL THE WAY UP TO ALMOST 9000.

BUT YOU CAN LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCES IN THOSE SCHOOLS AS WELL.

SO, YOU KNOW, HAVING A CAMPUS THAT IS FULLER OR HAS CLOSER TO FULL CAPACITY, YOU CAN SEE ACTUALLY MAKES A IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.

AND OF COURSE, YOU CAN WALK IT ALL THE WAY UP TO YOUR HIGH SCHOOLS AND YOUR SENIOR HIGHS.

IT'S A LOT CLOSER BECAUSE THOSE CAMPUSES ARE A LOT, A LOT FULLER AS FAR AS CAPACITY GOES.

I DEBATED WHETHER EVEN TO PUT THIS ON THERE.

I'M SORRY, DOCTOR WILLIAMS. BUT THIS IS THIS IS OUR DEBT.

SO OBVIOUSLY, IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE HAVE OVER $1 BILLION IN OUTSTANDING DEBT.

IT'S A BIG DEAL.

AND I WILL SAY OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE VERY AGGRESSIVE WITH HOW WE MANAGE OUR DEBT PORTFOLIO.

WE PAY OFF DEBT AS EARLY AS WE CAN.

IN FACT, THE STATE SAYS WHEN YOU GO OUT FOR OUTSTANDING DEBT ON SCHOOL DISTRICT BONDS, YOU CAN DO THAT FOR UP TO 40 YEARS.

AND, OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES FELT SO STRONGLY ABOUT THAT THAT WE ACTUALLY WROTE POLICY THAT SAYS WE CANNOT GO OUT OVER 20 YEARS, BASICALLY HALF OF WHAT THE, THE STATE ALLOWS.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE IT ON THE ON THE SHORTER END OF THE SPECTRUM, OUR OUTSTANDING DEBT HERE IN THE AQUA IS EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT OUTSTANDING AS OF RIGHT NOW.

EVERYTHING THAT'S IN I GUESS YOU CALL THAT GRAY IS WHAT WE HAVE, HAVE AUTHORIZED, BUT HAVE UNISSUED.

AND WHY I THINK THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT IS WE'RE ALREADY PLANNING THE NEXT BOND ELECTION, WHICH WE ANTICIPATE EVERYTHING BEING NORMAL TO HAPPEN IN 2029.

THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT'S SO IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO ACTIVELY MANAGE THE CAPACITY.

SO WHENEVER WE ASK OUR VOTERS TO GO OUT, WE CAN DO THAT WITH NOT ONLY NOT GOING UP ON THE TAX RATE, BUT HOPEFULLY GOING DOWN ON THE TAX RATE.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WHAT YOU SEE IN GOLD, WE'RE ALREADY PROJECTING AND TRYING TO PAY OFF DEBT EARLY SO WE CAN BUILD THAT CAPACITY.

THIS LAST TIME, THIS WHICH WE DID IN 22, OUR LAST BOND ISSUE ELECTION, WE WERE ABLE TO GO OUT AND DO $1.35 BILLION, AND WE WENT DOWN $0.03 ON THE TAX RATE.

THAT IS WHAT OUR GOAL WOULD BE.

BUT A BIG PART OF THIS IS IF WE DON'T NEED AN ELEMENTARY OR MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL THAT YOU SAW THE PRICES ON THOSE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE DON'T ASK THE VOTERS TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THAT EXERCISE.

SO OBVIOUSLY THE BOARD LOOKED AT THIS DATA.

THEY DID A RESOLUTION. THEY AGREED WITH THAT.

THE INFORMATION, THE DATA.

AS A RESULT, THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY WAS INVOLVED IN A PROCESS OF STUDYING THIS.

AND SO WE WE CONVENED A COMMITTEE.

THIS COMMITTEE IS ABOUT SIX, I THINK, ABOUT 70 MEMBERS.

AND WE A LOT OF THESE MEMBERS WERE BASICALLY NOMINATED BY OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES ACTUALLY, TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION WHERE THESE MEMBERS LIVED.

AND IF THEY HAD STUDENTS THAT WERE IN THE SYSTEM OR HAD JUST FINISHED THE SYSTEM, ON TOP OF THAT, WE HAD, I THINK ABOUT 15 MEMBERS FROM OUR BOND TASK FORCE WERE ASKED TO

[00:25:10]

SO WE HAVE FACILITY FOLKS THAT ARE ON THIS COMMITTEE.

WE HAVE INSTRUCTIONAL, YOU KNOW, ACADEMIC FOLKS THAT ARE IN THIS COMMITTEE IN CASE QUESTIONS COME UP WHILE WE'RE DOING THIS, THIS STUDY.

OUR BOARD, ACTUALLY.

AND I'M SORRY, I'M GETTING CLOSE TO THE END OF THE SLIDES, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THE BOARD ACTUALLY CONVENED THIS COMMITTEE.

BUT THEY ALSO PUT CERTAIN PARAMETERS WITH THE WORK THAT THIS COMMITTEE WAS DOING.

I WANTED TO GO THAT GO THROUGH THAT LIST JUST REAL QUICKLY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPER, SUPER IMPORTANT.

THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THESE ARE THE AND I EMPHASIZE THESE IN RED, BUT THEY WANTED TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENT LEARNING.

THEY WANTED TO ALIGN RESOURCES, MAINTAIN EQUITY, MAINTAIN AN INTEGRITY OF THE FEEDER PATTERNS.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU'RE A WILDCAT WANTED TO KEEP YOU A WILDCAT, IF YOU WERE, A MAYOR MUNS, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE BESIDES WILDCATS? OKAY. SO, SO ANYWAY, SO..

TRICK QUESTION. THE, THE MAIN THING IS THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, THESE GUYS WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THOSE FEEDER PATTERNS.

THEY WANTED TO BALANCE ENROLLMENT.

THEY WANTED TO CONSIDER TRANSPORTATION, HOW FAR A STUDENT WOULD IF THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT IT, ONE OF THE CAMPUSES, HOW FAR THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE TO, TO MOVE? THEY WANTED TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT ON THE STAFF.

THAT WAS SUPER IMPORTANT.

AND THEN THEY WANTED TO MITIGATE ANY DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS, AND THEN THEY WANTED TO FACE CHANGES OVER TIME, IF POSSIBLE.

AND THEN THEY WANTED TO ENSURE THAT THERE WAS COMPARABILITY AND EQUITABLE FACILITIES ACROSS THE DISTRICT, MAKING SURE THAT THEY WERE ALL KIDS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN THE BEST SCHOOLS THAT WE COULD OFFER.

SO PROPOSED TIMELINE.

I WILL SAY THAT WE STARTED THIS PROCESS BASICALLY BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 22 WHEN WE STARTED THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE ARE NOW OBVIOUSLY IN THE SPRING OF 24 HOUR.

I GUESS WINTER OF 24.

WE ARE ACTUALLY HOLDING A COMMUNITY FEEDBACK MEETINGS.

WE HAVE ACTUALLY HELD, THREE OF THESE SO FAR.

WE HAVE THREE MORE TO GO.

AND WE'VE ALSO HAD EIGHT, APPROXIMATELY EIGHT COMMITTEE MEETINGS, AND WE ARE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH WITH THAT AS WELL.

THE GOAL WOULD BE FOR THIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO FINISH THEIR WORK AND PRESENT TO THE BOARD IN MAY, THIS COMING MAY.

AND ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THE BOARD WILL TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND THEN THEY'LL AND THEY'LL MAKE DECISIONS OR NOT.

THEY'LL REVIEW THAT INFORMATION AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.

WE'LL SAY THAT, WE'VE BEEN ASKED THIS QUESTION A LOT TOO, AND WE'VE ASKED, WELL, DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE CHANGES GOING INTO THIS NEXT YEAR? AND I WILL TELL YOU, NO.

BECAUSE ANYTHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE, WE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT WE WANTED TO HAVE A SOLID COMMUNICATION PLAN AROUND AS WELL AS LOGISTIC WORK AROUND THAT.

AND SO THE 24-25 YEAR, THE BOARD WILL TAKE THEIR TIME AND REVIEW THIS INFORMATION AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.

BUT WE'LL ALSO TRY TO SURROUND THAT WITH A SOLID COMMUNICATION PLAN AND LOGISTIC PLAN.

NOW THIS IS MY VERY LAST SLIDE, I PROMISE.

BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS TO BE TRANSPARENT.

AND I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT'S BEEN A POINT OF EMPHASIS FOR DOCTOR WILLIAMS AND THE BOARD.

AS A RESULT, WE HAVE A DEDICATED WEB SITE JUST FOR THIS WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.

ON THIS WEBSITE.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE MINUTES FROM OUR MEETINGS.

WE HAVE THE MEETINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY HAD AND WHERE AND THE UPCOMING MEETINGS AND WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE.

WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, IF YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, THERE'S A WAY FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY ASK IF YOU'VE GOT A QUESTION, A CONCERN, ANY KIND OF FEEDBACK TO US.

THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY ON THIS WEBSITE TO DO THAT.

THERE IS A RESOURCES BUTTON.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE GOT WAS, WELL, WE YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT BECAUSE THIS COMMITTEE IS WORKING ON THIS WORK AND AND WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE SAME INFORMATION THEY'RE LOOKING AT. OKAY.

WE'LL PUT THAT INFORMATION OUT THERE.

SO UNDER THE RESOURCES BUTTON, YOU CAN SEE THAT EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH WITH THIS COMMITTEE IS LISTED OUT THERE.

SO IF YOU WANT ENROLLMENT NUMBERS WE HAVE OUR DEMOGRAPHIC ENROLLMENT NUMBERS FOR THE NEXT PROJECTIONS OUT FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

WE HAVE THE CAPACITY BY BUILDING OUT FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

YOUR FACILITY ASSESSMENT SCORES UPDATED THROUGH DECEMBER.

THEY'RE OUT THERE ON, BY CAMPUS.

YOUR COST PER STUDENT IS OUT THERE BY CAMPUS AS WELL.

SO IT'S ALL OUT THERE.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO LOOK THROUGH IT AND THEN PROVIDE US FEEDBACK OR WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO.

I WILL SAY WE'RE TAKING THAT FEEDBACK AND WE'RE TRYING TO GATHER IT AND ACCUMULATE IT UNDER AN FAQ.

SO IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK ON THE FAQ, EVERY THEME THAT OR QUESTION THAT WE'VE BEEN ASKED, WE'VE PUT IT OUT THERE WITH, WITH OUR BEST ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, PLEASE GO TO THAT WEBSITE.

[00:30:04]

AND WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TRY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT.

THAT IS IT FOR ME.

I'M SORRY THAT TOOK PROBABLY LONGER THAN YOU WANTED IT TO, BUT I THINK THIS IS SUCH A SUCH A HUGE TOPIC FOR OUR DISTRICT AND FOR REALLY FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS WE GO FORWARD FOR THE NEXT, REALLY FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS.

I DO WANT TO INTRODUCE JUST A WE ALSO, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE HAVE A AT A BOND ELECTION AND ON NOVEMBER 22ND, WE ARE VERY INVOLVED. I THINK WE HAVE OVER 40 PROJECTS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

WE'RE VERY BLESSED IN OUR DISTRICT THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN WITH OUR DISTRICT FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS.

HIS NAME IS TONY PEARSON.

AND HE'S GOING TO COME UP AND GO OVER, JUST A HIGHLIGHT OF THOSE BOND PROJECTS.

AND I THINK ONE THING THAT WE DID IS WE, WE CALL THEM THE MARQUEE PROJECTS.

THEY'RE ALL BIGGER COST ITEMS. BUT, HE'LL GO OVER THOSE SPECIFIC ITEMS, AND WE'VE TRIED TO FRONT LOAD THOSE ITEMS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH INFLATION, YOU WANT TO TRY TO GET THOSE UNDER CONTRACT JUST AS QUICK AS YOU CAN.

SO, TONY, COME ON UP AND LEAD US THROUGH THAT, THAT PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MR. HILL. COULD I PAUSE FOR ONE SECOND? BECAUSE MR. PEARSON IS ITEM 3.2, AND I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OR BOARD MIGHT HAVE FOR YOU.

OKAY, FANTASTIC.

IF YOU HAVE JUST A BRIEF, I GUESS, SYNOPSIS OF FEEDBACK THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED SO FAR FROM PARENTS.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS YOU'RE HEARING ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT COULD.

WELL, I THINK SO I THINK MOST PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME TO THE PRESENTATIONS, CAN WRAP THEIR MINDS AROUND WHY WE'RE DOING THIS.

IT'S IT'S IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT WE WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS JUST FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

BUT I THINK THE MAIN CONCERN IS.

OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.

AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MESS WITH WITH MY KIDS SCHOOL, THEN WE'RE OKAY.

SO WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF THAT, LIKE.

AND IT'S BASICALLY, I'M NOT GOING TO CALL IT CAMPAIGNING, BUT IT'S HEY, IT'S OKAY.

I AGREE THAT YOU NEED A, YOU NEED TO DO THIS, BUT THIS, THIS CAMPUS, CAMPUS X, Y AND Z IS GREAT BECAUSE I WENT THERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT WHATEVER.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GETTING MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

I THINK THAT THERE ARE SOME REALISTIC I MEAN, NOT REALISTIC.

THEY'RE ALL REALISTIC QUESTIONS, BUT THERE ARE SOME REALLY GOOD ONES THAT WE NEED TO HAVE AN ANSWER FOR.

WE'VE DONE THAT THROUGH THE FAQ PROCESS.

BUT I THINK SOME OF THAT IS OKAY.

SO MY BIGGEST ASSET I BOUGHT THIS HOUSE ON THIS STREET, IT'S TWO BLOCKS FROM THE SCHOOL.

AND ONCE I FOUND OUT THAT THIS SCHOOL MAY BE ONE OF THE SCHOOLS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RETIRING, WHAT IS THAT GOING TO DO TO MY PROPERTY VALUES? THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A BIG CONCERN FOR ME.

SO, THE QUESTION THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ENTERTAINING RIGHT NOW IS, WELL, WHAT DO WE DO? OUR BOARD WILL MAKE THAT DECISION.

I WOULD SAY THAT, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF OPTIONS.

WE UNDERSTAND THE, I GUESS THE SERIOUSNESS OF OF OF GIVING AN ANSWER TO THAT.

I CAN SAY THAT, THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT, SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

OUR BOARD WILL THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY DISCUSSIONS OR ANY EVEN DISCUSSIONS AROUND THAT YET.

WE HAVE TIME.

BUT I THINK THAT WE WILL, ONCE WE GET LATER INTO THE SPRING, WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT WITH WITH CERTAINTY, WITH WHAT THE PLANS WOULD BE.

RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED ANY CAMPUSES.

SO IT'S HARD TO HARD TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, WITH THAT LAND.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN.

I THINK, ANOTHER QUESTION IS JUST, TRANSPORTATION, HOW FAR, YOU KNOW, IF YOU TAKE AWAY THE SCHOOL, WHAT IS THAT GOING TO DO FOR MY TRANSPORTATION? I THINK ANOTHER QUESTION THAT WE HAD WAS, WE'RE REPLACING HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL.

A QUESTION THAT CAME UP ON THAT WAS, WELL, IF YOU'RE REBUILDING HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU JUST, YOU KNOW, RETIRE THAT ONE? SINCE YOU'RE ALREADY DOING THAT? I CAN SAY THAT, WE LOOKED AT THAT.

WE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS BEFORE WE GOT INTO INTO THE THAT THE LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING DISCUSSIONS AND WE IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE.

WE WERE NEEDED TO, WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO, LOOK AT, RENOVATING OUR, OUR REPLACING MULTIPLE MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN, IN THAT CLUSTER ANYWAY, AND SO WE DID NOT WANT TO WAIT ANOTHER DECADE BEFORE WE HAD ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.

SO WE WENT ON AND DID HAGGARD AT THAT TIME.

IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE, THE FACT THAT WE STILL, IF WE DIDN'T DO IT NOW, WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO ACTUALLY POUR IT INTO AT LEAST A THREE OR 2 OR 3 OTHER, MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO, AT THE, AT THAT SAME AMOUNT.

SO IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

ANOTHER ITEM AND THIS I THINK THIS WILL BE THE LAST ONE THAT COMES TO MY MIND, BUT THAT IS THE CTE BUILDING.

[00:35:05]

IF WE ACTUALLY WAIT UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO REPURPOSE A CAMPUS, WE WOULD HAVE LOST 10 TO $12 MILLION OF PURCHASING POWER ON A $100 MILLION PROJECT BECAUSE OF THE COST OF INFLATION FOR BUILDING.

AND SO WE ACTUALLY FOUND A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WAS REALLY FANTASTIC LOCATION WE SPENT, I THINK, ABOUT $7.5 MILLION FOR THAT.

AND SO IT WAS NUMBER ONE.

IT WAS AN ECONOMICAL DECISION.

IT WAS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY FOR US TO ACTUALLY DO THAT.

NUMBER ONE. AND THEN NUMBER TWO, IT WAS A BETTER LOCATION THAN ANY OTHER PLACE THAT WE COULD HAVE, WE COULD HAVE FOUND.

AND SO WE JUST FELT LIKE IT WAS WHERE IT WAS LOCATED.

AND YOU GUYS KNOW, PROBABLY KNOW WHERE THAT'S LOCATED.

RIGHT OFF OF PARK IN ALMA.

IT WAS NOT LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF A SUBDIVISION FOR THE PURPOSE OF THAT, OF THAT, CTE CENTER.

IT WE FELT LIKE IT WAS JUST A GREAT LOCATION.

SO THOSE ARE A FEW OF THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME UP.

I WILL SAY, IF YOU'RE VERY INTERESTED IN THAT, GO TO THAT FAQ, BECAUSE THERE'S ABOUT 20, DIFFERENT RESPONSES AND IT GOES THROUGH EVERY LITTLE QUESTION THAT'S COME UP.

SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU GUYS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOHNNY.

AND SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 3.2.

[3.2. Plano ISD Bond Projects Update]

AND I THINK JOHNNY ALREADY INTRODUCED AND THIS IS MR. TONY PEARSON, DIRECTOR FOR PLANNING AND NEW CONSTRUCTION.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

YES. MY NAME IS TONY PIERSON.

I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND NEW CONSTRUCTION.

I'M HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE A BRIEF 2022 BOND PROGRAM UPDATE HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF OUR LARGER PROJECTS, AS WELL AS THE WORK WE ARE DOING AT OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO ADD NEW ADA COMPLIANT ALL WEATHER PLAYGROUNDS AND AT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE NEW SYNTHETIC TRACKS.

VOTERS APPROVED, AS YOU HEARD, THE PLANO'S ISD'S $1,346,426,000 BOND PROPOSAL IN NOVEMBER 8TH, 2022.

THIS BOND WAS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE FACILITIES, PROVIDE ACCESS AND EQUITY FOR ALL STUDENTS, AND BUILD ON THE PROGRESS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE 2016 BOND PROGRAM.

I'M LEARNING MY CONTROLS HERE.

I'M SORRY.

WE'RE CURRENTLY SHOWING THE BOND, BROKEN INTO FIVE PHASES.

PHASE ONE, WHICH BEGAN IN QUARTER TWO OF LAST YEAR CONSISTS OF 30 PLUS PROJECTS.

THOSE PROJECTS ALL HAVE ARCHITECTS ATTACHED, THE MAJORITY HAVE CONTRACTORS, AND ALL ARE IN SOME PHASE OF DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION OR COMPLETION.

PHASE TWO DESIGN BEGAN ROLLING OUT, BEGINNING OF THIS QUARTER.

PHASE THREE IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN QUARTER FOUR OF 2024.

PHASE THREE OR PHASE QUARTER? I'M SORRY. PHASE FOUR AND QUARTER FOUR OF 2025 AND PHASE FIVE AND QUARTER FOUR OF 2026.

THIS PROJECT PHASING SCHEDULE IS FOR GENERAL PLANNING PURPOSES AND MAY BE ADJUSTED AS PROGRAMING NEEDS.

WARRANT. THE PHASE LISTING, HERE HAVE BEEN PARED DOWN TO THOSE WE'D LIKE TO SPOTLIGHT AND FOCUS ON WITH YOU TONIGHT.

I HAVE A SLIDE ON EACH OF THESE SIX MAJOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE KIND OF BEEN TOUCHED UPON, BRIEFLY BY JONNY HILL JUST A SECOND AGO.

WE'LL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DEPTH ON THOSE.

AND THEN I'VE GOT A SLIDE OR TWO TO SHOW OUR PLAYGROUNDS AND OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS.

YOU'LL SEE PLAYGROUNDS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS UNDER EACH PHASE, AND PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO.

PHASE THREE, PHASE FOUR, PHASE FIVE.

AS MENTIONED, WE HAVE 44 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND 13 MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT.

SO WE'VE TRIED TO DIVVY THEM UP IN EQUALLY AND SPRINKLE A FEW INTO EACH PHASE.

WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL.

PHASE TWO RENOVATION.

ABOUT $15 MILLION WORTH OF WORK WAS DONE UNDER THE 2016 BOND AS PART OF PHASE ONE, WHERE WE RELOCATED THE ADMIN SUITE AND MAIN ENTRY TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

THE FRONT DOOR AT 1717 17TH STREET NOW RESIDES AT 1818 18TH STREET.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT, THE CITY OF PLANO, BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT LITTLE BIT OF FUN.

AS THE PRINCIPAL, I GOT THE FEELING MAY HAVE BEEN MORE EXCITED ABOUT THAT, THAN THE ACTUAL RENAULT.

PHASE ONE ALSO INCLUDED NEW ART LABS, A NEW SPECIAL EDUCATION SUITE, AND SOME GENERAL CLASSROOM RENOVATION.

NOW UNDER THE 2022 BOND PHASE, PHASE TWO LOOKS TO PICK UP THE BALL AND COMPLETE THE MASTER PLAN BY RENOVATING GENERAL CLASSROOMS, THE CTE SPACE, SCIENCE LABS, LIBRARY, FOOD SERVICES, CAFETERIA, ATHLETICS AND FINE ARTS.

SO PRETTY MUCH ALL THE REST OF THE BUILDING.

THE FIELD HOUSE, WILL ALSO BE RENOVATED, INCLUDING A ROOF REPLACEMENT.

[00:40:02]

AND THEN HERE RECENTLY WE'VE ADDED TO OUR SCOPE OF WORK WILL BE RENOVATING THE HARRY ROLLINSON NATATORIUM, RIGHT ADJACENT TO THE BUILDING WHEN THE CITY LEASE EXPIRES JANUARY 4TH, 2025 AND THE ISD TAKES OVER OWNERSHIP.

THE BOARD JUST RECENTLY APPROVED THE GMP, THE GUARANTEED MAX PRICE FOR THIS PHASE TWO WORK ON THE 16TH OF JANUARY.

AND CONSTRUCTION IS SLATED TO BEGIN, FEBRUARY 10TH, WHERE THEY'LL CONTINUE THROUGH 11 PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION UNTIL COMPLETION JULY 2026.

THESE ARE JUST SOME RENDERING PHOTOS.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THESE ON ON EACH SLIDE THAT WE'LL GO INTO, BUT EACH EACH OF THESE SLIDES THAT I PRESENT IS JUST GOING TO HAVE SOME, SOME PHOTOS TO KIND OF LOOK AT AND JUST KIND OF SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

THESE ARE BOTH RENDERINGS.

THIS IS WHAT THE NEW MAIN ENTRY WILL LOOK AT WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE POPPING UP.

THE MAIN ENTRY, WHICH IS REALLY LOW.

IT'S, A VERY LOW CEILING.

IF YOU'VE EVER WALKED INTO WILLIAMS, THEY'RE GOING TO POP IT UP WITH SOME CLEAR STORIES AND BRING IN SOME NATURAL DAYLIGHTING.

THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE THEATER SPACE THAT THEY HAVE THERE.

THE HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL REPLACEMENT.

WE'RE IN PROGRAMING AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN MEETINGS.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTS FOR THE HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL AND FOR THE PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT.

BUT WE HAVE, GIVEN THAT SITE THE ENTIRE SITE TO, CORE CONSTRUCTION.

WE FIGURED THAT THE INTENT BEING TO HELP AID WITH THE DAY TO DAY LOGISTICS OF DELIVERIES, STORAGE, SECURITY, BUILDING ACCESS, TRAFFIC FLOW AND THE LIKE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF SITE AMENITIES ALONG WITH THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS THEMSELVES, WHICH HAS BEEN A PUZZLE TO ALL FIT.

BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE THE SITE PLAN WE WERE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP.

THE HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRENTLY SITS, RIGHT ABOUT HERE.

HERE IN THE PLANO SOFTBALL FIELD ROUGHLY SITS ABOUT HERE.

SO THE PLAN IS THAT ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS IS WE GOT TO MOVE THE EXISTING PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL FIELD DOWN, IN A WAY SO THAT THE HAGGARD SITE CAN OPEN UP AND SLIDE TO THE WEST. SO AS THIS NEW BUILDING, AS THE NEW HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL IS BEING BUILT, THE EXISTING ONE WILL STAY IN OPERATION FULLY UNTIL, THE NEW ONE IS COMPLETE.

WHEN THE NEW ONE IS COMPLETE, THEY'LL MOVE OVER INTO IT AND THEY'LL TAKE DOWN THE OLD, HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL AND REPLACE IT WITH A FOUR LANE SYNTHETIC, TRACK FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THEN A 12 COURT TENNIS COURT COMPLEX, THAT WILL GO FOR THE PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

LET'S SEE. WE ARE LOOKING AT, WE'LL GET TO.

LET'S SEE, HAGGARD IS EXPECTED TO START CONSTRUCTION IN OCTOBER, AND WE HAVE THE NEW SCHOOL READY BY THE FALL OF 2026.

SO PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL MAJOR RENOVATION.

THAT'S THE OTHER ONE ON THE SAME SITE.

AS SHOWN BEFORE, SAME SITE AS HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL.

PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SITS RIGHT HERE.

IT TOO IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROGRAMING AND SCHEMATIC STAGE I SCREEN GRABBED A FEW SHOTS FROM OUR FLY THROUGH VIDEO THE ARCHITECT PUT TOGETHER FOR THIS PROJECT AND PUT THEM HERE ON THE LEFT, AND THEN I'LL FLIP BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SCREENS TO PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT.

THE TOP LEFT VIEW IS A VIEW OF THE NEW MAIN ENTRY.

SO THE NEW MAIN ENTRY IS KIND OF THIS LIGHT SHADED GRAY AREA HERE.

IF YOU IMAGINE THE INDEPENDENCE IS RIGHT HERE.

THIS NEW MAIN ENTRY WILL BE A NEW MAIN ENTRY WILL BE A NEW, CLEARLY MARKED, WELL DESIGNED NEW FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE BUILDING AND WILL PROVIDE A CONNECTION BETWEEN BUILDINGS A AND B.

BUILDING C WILL BE REPLACED.

BUILDING C CURRENTLY SITS RIGHT HERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE THAT WITH THIS NEW TWO STORY STRUCTURE ALSO SHOWN IN LIGHT GRAY.

ANOTHER CONNECTION POINT BETWEEN A AND B WITH SOME ENCLOSED HALLWAY CONNECTIONS TO BOTH D AND E, THAT THAT TWO STORY VOLUME WILL BE IT WILL HAVE THE, CAFETERIA AND DINING SPACE ON THE LOWER FLOOR WITH A LIBRARY ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT KIND OF CREATES THIS COURTYARD RIGHT HERE.

SO THIS COURTYARD SPACE WILL BE JUST KIND OF A TIERED LANDSCAPE SEATING AREA FOR STUDENTS TO, TO WORK IN, STUDY AND DO VARIOUS ACTIVITIES.

THE LAST PICTURE IN THE LOWER LEFT.

AS IF YOU LOOKING BACK AT THE TWO STORY VOLUME FROM THE POND, SO GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES.

IF YOU'RE HERE ON THE POND, JUST FLOATING AND LOOKING BACK AT THE BUILDING, THAT WOULD BE THE VIEW THAT YOU SEE.

LET'S SEE OTHER ADDITIONS GOING BACK TO THE SITE.

OTHER ADDITIONS TO THIS CAMPUS UNDER THIS PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RENOVATION, THEY ARE GOING TO DO A TWO.

TWO NEW GYM FLOORS ADDED ON TO BUILDING E, WHICH IS WHERE THEIR COMPETITIVE GYM AND THEIR LOCKER ROOM SPACE ALREADY EXISTS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO ADD TWO NEW GYM FLOORS.

GIVE THEM SOME MORE OPPORTUNITY TO, TO HOLD, MULTIPLE EVENTS IN THE EVENINGS.

LET'S SEE, IN DOING SO AND PROVIDING THIS TWO GYM FLOOR HERE IS GOING TO RELOCATE THE BAND PRACTICE FIELD WHICH IS RIGHT THERE RIGHT NOW.

SO WHEN THAT NEW BUILDING GOES ON TOP OF IT, THE NEW BAND PRACTICE FIELD GOES TO THIS LOCATION WHICH PUTS ITSELF CLOSER TO THE FINE ARTS BUILDING, BUILDING D.

AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THE SOFTBALL FIELD WILL MOVE OUT OF HAGGARD'S PLACE.

YOU KNOW, IT SITS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

[00:45:01]

THE SEE, SOFTBALL FIELD.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY BRAND NEW, NEW TURF.

THE BASEBALL FIELD, EXISTING LOCATION, BUT ALSO NEW TURF.

WE'VE RETURFED PLANO EAST AND WEST HERE RECENTLY, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.

BUT ALL THE ENTIRE FIELD IS IS ARTIFICIAL TURF.

NOW, IN KIND OF THIS, THIS, TWO, TWO GREEN PATTERN CUT, EAST AND WEST ARE ALREADY DONE.

IF YOU GET OPPORTUNITY TO GET BY THERE ANYTIME SOON AND SEE THAT IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

THE EXISTING SYNTHETIC TURF AND TRACK ON THE SITE WILL STAY WHERE IT IS.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND FENCE THAT WITH THE ORNAMENTAL FENCING, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE AT EAST AND WEST AS WELL.

AGAIN, THAT'S GOING TO HELP, PRESERVE THE LONGEVITY OF THOSE, ATHLETIC FIELDS THAT ARE USED KIND OF FOR OUR, OUR MORE, SENIOR HIGH LEVEL ATHLETE.

ATHLETICS IS HOPING FOR MORE FIELDS.

AND SO WE WILL ATTEMPT TO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO KIND OF KEEP THESE EXISTING FIELDS, NOW WE'RE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO POTENTIALLY MAYBE TURN ANOTHER ONE INTO ARTIFICIAL TURF SO THEY CAN HAVE A SECOND ALL WEATHER FIELD.

AND THEN WE MIGHT GET A LITTLE BIT OF A HALF FIELD HERE.

AND THEN THE LAST PIECE, AS MENTIONED BEFORE, IS AGAIN THE A 12 COURT, TENNIS COMPLEX WHERE THE 12 COURTS ARE SHOWN KIND OF HERE IN BLUE AND YOU'VE GOT STANDS IN BETWEEN IN YELLOW, AND IT WILL HAVE AN ENTRY POINT, KIND OF, NOT CONCESSION AREA PER SE, BUT IT'LL HAVE RESTROOMS, SOME STORAGE SPACE.

AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THAT ONE ENTRY AND YOU'RE INTO THE FACILITY.

WE'RE IN DESIGN ON THIS PROJECT UNTIL AUGUST.

WE ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION TO START IN NOVEMBER AND THEN PHASE CONSTRUCTION THROUGH JULY 2028.

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER.

AS JOHNNY WAS TALKING ABOUT, WE DID BUY A 15 ACRE PLOT OF LAND LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ALMA AND PARK.

AND THIS IS GOING TO BE THE NEW LOCATION FOR OUR CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER.

THE CENTER. IS EVERYBODY FAMILIAR WITH THIS SITE? IT'S KIND OF IF YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IF YOU WERE TO IMAGINE OFF SCREEN IF THIS WERE TO CONTINUE, OUR ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL IS HERE, KIND OF IN THE SAME SHAPE OF THIS BUILDING.

AND THEN OUR FINE ARTS CENTER IS ACROSS ALMA, ROUGHLY HERE.

SO WE'RE RIGHT HERE ON THAT, THAT PARK LOCATION WE OWN, OR WE BOUGHT ALL OF THE PROPERTY HERE IN GREEN AND OUR RACE TRACK SITS RIGHT THERE.

THIS, CTE CENTER, WILL BE A STATE OF THE ART FACILITY OFFERING NINTH THROUGH 12TH GRADE STUDENTS THE ACADEMIC AND RELEVANT TECHNICAL SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND TRAINING NECESSARY TO PREPARE FOR FURTHER EDUCATION AND CAREERS IN CURRENT OR EMERGING PROFESSIONS.

WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE.

SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAMS AND THE DISTRICT CTE DEPARTMENT ARE LEADING THE CHARGE TO CREATE A CUTTING EDGE AND FUTURE FOCUSED FACILITY WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING PLANO ISD STUDENTS WORKFORCE AND CAREER READY.

MULTIPLE PROGRAM MEETINGS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED, WITH DISTRICT STAFF AND HUCKABEE, WHO'S OUR ARCHITECT FOR THIS PROJECT, TO DESIGN AN INITIAL LAYOUT AND DETERMINE THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THIS CAMPUS.

PLANO IS ALSO HOSTED AN EVENING, BACK IN EARLY NOVEMBER, ENGAGING WITH INDUSTRY EXPERTS TO GATHER THEIR INPUT AND DISCUSS THE DESIGN AS IT IS RELATED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS.

SO WE'VE BEEN GATHERING A LOT OF INFORMATION.

THE ARCHITECT HAS BEEN DOING SOME MASSING STUDIES AS WELL.

YOU KNOW, ON THIS SITE WE'VE GOT KIND OF A KIND OF A FLOOR PLAN, A SCHEMATIC DESIGN IN PLACE.

AND SO THEY'VE BEEN DOING SOME MASSING STUDIES TO KIND OF SHOW, THREE DIMENSIONALLY VOLUMES AND WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE.

AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO REVIEW THOSE.

WE WILL BE DESIGN ON THIS.

WE WILL BE IN DESIGN ON THIS PROJECT UNTIL AUGUST, AND THEN WE'LL PUT IT OUT FOR BID.

AND WE ANTICIPATE STARTING CONSTRUCTION IN OCTOBER WITH COMPLETION OF FALL 2026.

THE PLANO WEST SENIOR HIGH RENOVATION.

IT'S, NOT AS EXTENSIVE A RENOVATION AS PLANO SENIOR.

WE ARE GOING IN SPECIFICALLY TO HIT CERTAIN AREAS.

BUT CURRENT DISCUSSION REVOLVES AROUND FLIPPING THE MAIN ENTRY, WHICH IS KIND OF RIGHT HERE.

I THINK THE JOKE ARCHITECT GAVE US IS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO WEST AND YOU COME DRIVING INTO THIS MAIN ENTRY, YOU SEE IT IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO. YOU GO LEFT OR RIGHT, YOU KNOW, WHICH WAY DO I GO TO PARK? AND YOU GO RIGHT, AND THAT'S THE WRONG WAY.

AND IT NEEDS TO BE LEFT.

AND SO THAT'S ALWAYS KIND OF BROUGHT A SMILE TO OUR FACE.

AND SO IT MAKES SENSE THAT YOU'D MOVE THE ENTRY POINT TO A NEW LOCATION.

AND SO THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT FLOPPING IT FROM THIS SIDE TO THIS SIDE.

YOU KNOW, GIVING IT MORE PARKING, MORE OF A SENSE OF PURPOSE.

IT JUST MAKES MAKES SOME SENSE.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING TO DO THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING A CLASSROOM ADDITION TO BUILDING E KIND OF A MIRROR OF WHAT BUILDING E KIND OF LEGS OUT RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS THE ADDITION.

IT'S GOING TO KIND OF CONTINUE THAT YOU.

THEN LIKE PLANO SENIOR YEAR AND THEN PLANO EAST, WHICH WE'RE ABOUT TO TALK TALK ABOUT IN A MINUTE.

IT WILL ALSO RECEIVE A TWO GYM FLOOR ADDITION.

AND THEY'VE KIND OF ALREADY THE ARCHITECT IS GETTING AHEAD OF THEMSELVES, AND THEY'RE STARTING TO SHOW KIND OF A COOL RENDERING OF WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE, KIND OF A NEW MAIN ENTRY PIECE. SO THAT'LL BE A NEW, FOCAL POINT FOR GOING INTO THIS TWO GYM ADDITION.

[00:50:01]

AND THEY HAVE A THEATRICAL RIGGING UPGRADE AT BUILDING C.

WE ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN IN AUGUST AND RUN THROUGH AUGUST OF 2026.

THEN THE PLANO EAST SENIOR HIGH RENOVATION.

AGAIN, NOT A MAJOR RENOVATION, BUT SOME SURGICAL STRIKES WERE UPGRADING LIGHTS IN ALL BUILDINGS TO LED.

WE'RE UPGRADING THE CHILLER PLANT CONTROLS.

WE'RE EXPANDING THE FOOD CONSUMER SCIENCE LAB.

AND THEN LIKE PLANO WEST AND SENIOR BEFORE IT, WE'RE ALSO GETTING A TWO GYM FLOOR ADDITIONS, WHICH ARE KIND OF STARTING TO SHOW HERE, CONNECTED TO THEIR EXISTING COMPETITION GYM AND LOCKER ROOM NOW SO THAT THEY'LL BEGIN TO FOCUS IT THERE.

WE'LL DO TENNIS COURTS AS WELL, DUG OUT EXTENSIONS AT SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL, AND THAT'S EXPECTED TO START CONSTRUCTION IN NOVEMBER AND ROLL THROUGH NOVEMBER OF 2026.

PLAYGROUNDS. OVER THE COURSE OF THE BOND AT 44 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, WE WILL BE REPLACING TWO PLAYGROUNDS AT EACH CAMPUS, PROVIDING NEW ALL WEATHER, ADA ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUNDS WITH SUNSHADE CANOPY.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE REPLACING THE EXISTING UPPER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS AT ALDRIDGE AND STINSON STINSON, WHICH IS BEING SHOWN HERE.

THE LOWER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED AT THOSE CAMPUSES.

AND THEN WE'RE CONTINUING IN PHASE ONE PROJECTS AT AT ANOTHER SIX CAMPUSES.

THESE ARE ACTUAL PHOTOS FROM THE SITE.

YOU KNOW, WITH THE EQUIPMENT GOING IN, THEY HAVE STILL YET TO TURF IT.

THIS IS A RENDERING OF WHAT THOSE PLAYGROUNDS LOOK LIKE WHEN THEY'RE, WHEN THEY'RE DONE.

SO IT'S RED, WHITE AND BLUE EQUIPMENT OVER KIND OF A GRASS LOOKING TURF FACILITY AND THEN A SUNSHADE OVER THE TOP OF THAT.

POUR IT INTO THE GROUND AND STRUCTURALLY STRUCTURALLY SET.

SO WE'VE GOT PHASE ONE PLAYGROUNDS, ABOUT NINE OF THEM RIGHT NOW IN PRODUCTION IN SOME STAGE OF OF WORKING THROUGH AND THEN PHASE TWO, WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE NEXT ROUND OF CAMPUSES, ANOTHER NINE, IDENTIFIED.

WE'RE DESIGNING THOSE SO THAT THEY'LL BE IN POSITION TO KIND OF START SIMILAR TO WHEN THESE STARTED, SO THAT THEY'LL BE DONE SUMMER 2025.

THESE PHASE ONE, ARE ARE BEING COMPLETED THIS SUMMER, BY THIS SUMMER OF 2020.

MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS.

THE 2022 BOND WILL PROVIDE NEW 300 METER OR 400 METER, DEPENDING ON WHAT CAN FIT ON THE SITE.

FOUR LANE SYNTHETIC TRACKS AT EACH OF OUR 13 MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

IF, CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, IF YOU DRIVEN BY.

BUT ALSO PICTURED HERE ARE THE CAMPUSES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY AT.

THOSE BEING BOWMAN, WILSON AND ROBINSON.

THESE ARE SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETE BY THE END OF MARCH.

AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER THREE MIDDLE SCHOOLS ALREADY KIND OF LINED UP.

AND WE'RE IN DESIGN ON THOSE GETTING THOSE IN POSITION TO, TO, START WORK AND BE COMPLETE BY SPRING OF 2025 FOR COMPLETION.

NOT A WHOLE LOT TO LOOK AT RIGHT THERE.

THEY'RE JUST POURING THE CURBS.

EVENTUALLY THEY'LL KIND OF FILL THAT IN.

THEY'LL PUT THEIR SYNTHETIC TRACK IN AND THEN IT'LL BE A GRASS.

IT WON'T BE A SYNTHETIC TURF AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS WILL BE BACK TO A GRASS FIELD.

BUT THAT IS IT.

OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

JUST MORE OF A COMMENT.

I'VE HEARD THAT THE CITY HAS EVERY ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AND I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT PISD HAS MATCHED THAT WITH EVERY SCHOOL BEING UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE SAME TIME.

I LIKE THAT.. IT'S WARMING TO OUR HEART.

BUT THE OTHER THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD IS, FROM A CONSTRUCTION PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS LIKE, YOU GUYS HAVE QUITE A FEW PROJECTS FROM YOUR CAPACITY PERSPECTIVE, DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE CAPACITY FOR PISD TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THIS NUMBER OF PROJECTS KIND OF CONTINUALLY UNTIL YOU GET THROUGH THIS CYCLE? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A A LOT GOING ON.

SO KUDOS TO YOU. BUT JUST KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR CAPACITY TO KIND OF KEEP GOING AT THAT LEVEL FOR A WHILE.

YES. YES, I THINK SO.

I MEAN, WE HAVE TO I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE'VE KIND OF COMMITTED TO THAT. AND SO YEAH, MANPOWER IS, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A DEPARTMENT OF ABOUT SIX NOW, I BELIEVE, AND I THINK WE'RE STILL ANTICIPATING GETTING ONE MORE.

BUT BUT YES, I, I THINK, I THINK WE'VE GOT THE BANDWIDTH TO DO IT AND WE'LL JUST KIND OF KEEP ON PUSHING IT DAY TO DAY AS JOHNNY MENTIONED, WE DID FRONT LOAD.

YOU CAN KIND OF TELL A LOT OF THOSE WERE WRAPPING UP BY 2026 AND STUFF.

WE DID FRONT LOAD A LOT OF THOSE LARGER PROJECTS.

SOME OF THE STUFF COMING DOWN THE LINE, THIS THIS WAS A PARED DOWN LEVEL OF STUFF.

THEIR SYSTEMS, COMPLIANCE ITEMS, THEY'RE CONTINUING TO BE PLAYGROUNDS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS.

BUT I THINK WE CAN I DEFINITELY THINK WE HAVE THE THE POWER TO DO IT.

YES, MA'AM. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, JUST A COMMENT.

AS I WAS LOOKING AT SOME OF THE RENDERINGS, I WAS THINKING ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS AND OTHER AREAS, AND I WAS JUST REALLY PERSONALLY THINKING ABOUT SOME OF THE STUDENTS THAT WILL NEVER EVEN DREAM TO BE ABLE TO BE INSIDE A FACILITY LIKE THIS.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, PISD, FOR, THE QUALITY, NOT JUST THE QUALITY OF THE EDUCATION, BUT THE QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU PROVIDE FOR OUR STUDENTS TO, TO LEARN AND TO SOCIALIZE.

IT'S REALLY VERY IMPRESSIVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YEAH. NO, OUR STAFF AND OUR, OUR BOARD ARE, ARE GREAT, LEADERS AND ONES TO GO TO FOR GUIDANCE AS WE, AS WE WORK WITH OUR ARCHITECTS AND CONTRACTORS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

[00:55:04]

CORRECT? CORRECT. SO, SO THAT IS SUCH A, YES, IT'S SUCH A LARGE CAMPUS TO BEGIN WITH, YOU KNOW, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL ONE OF OUR ONE OF THE LARGEST KIND OF FOOTPRINTS.

BUT, YES, THE ABILITY TO GET ENOUGH SWING SPACE, THEY'RE GOING TO, THE CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO WANT TO GRAB AS MUCH OF THE SCHOOLS THEY CAN AND WORK IN IT.

BUT YES, BECAUSE THIS CAMPUS PRINCIPAL IS ALREADY IDENTIFIED.

THERE'S REALLY NO EXTRA SPACE IN THE BUILDING.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE GRABBING SMALL CHUNKS AT A TIME.

IT'S JUST GOING TO TO EXTEND THE TIME PERIOD OF THE CONTRACT.

SO THERE WILL BE PORTABLES AT SOME POINT.

THERE WILL BE PORTABLES IF YOU'VE SEEN THEM.

YOU KNOW THAT IT HAPPENED AT SHEPTON.

I BELIEVE IT HAPPENED AT WILLIAMS. AT SOME POINT IN TIME, A NUMBER OF PORTABLES WILL COME OUT.

YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE UP TO 12 CLASSROOMS WORTH WILL COME OUT AND JUST BE PLANTED SOMEWHERE ON THE SITE AND ALLOW THEM THAT ABILITY TO GET OUT OF THE BUILDING, MOVE THEM TO THE PORTABLES FOR A LITTLE BIT, WORK IN THAT SPACE, AND THEN JUST IT'S JUST A SERIES OF MOVING IN AND OUT.

TONY, YOU TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, BUT I WANT TO ASK THIS EXPLICITLY, BECAUSE THIS IS A QUESTION I'VE GOTTEN FROM MANY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

YOU KNOW, OUR HIGH SCHOOLS WERE BUILT IN THIS JUNIOR OR SENIOR HIGH'S WERE BUILT IN THIS JUNIOR COLLEGE STYLE MULTI-BUILDING.

AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THIS CAMPUS WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT.

AND SO I CONSISTENTLY GET QUESTIONS ABOUT SAFETY AND SECURITY AT THE SENIOR HIGHS.

AND YOU TALKED ABOUT ENCLOSURES AND WALKWAYS AND GETTING BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS.

AND SO COULD YOU JUST TOUCH ON, YOU KNOW, HOW HOW SOME OF THE ARCHITECTURE WENT INTO THIS SO THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE MINIMIZING THEIR TIME POTENTIALLY GOING BETWEEN BUILDINGS AND UNSECURED WAYS? CORRECT. YES. YEAH.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE DID A SAFETY AND SECURITY AUDIT BACK IN NOVEMBER OF, I THINK IT'S BEEN 2022 NOW AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

AND IT WAS A IT WAS A IT WAS A MENTION, IF NOT A FOOTNOTE THAT THAT TO POTENTIALLY MAYBE FENCE AROUND THESE CAMPUSES.

BUT BUT IT IS, IT IS SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF LAND TO DO THAT THAT WE JUST DIDN'T IT WASN'T EXACTLY FEASIBLE TO PUT A, PUT A FENCE AROUND THIS AND STILL ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION LIKE THEY WANT IT TO.

SO, SO YES, AS WE'RE DESIGNING THIS, IT IS IT IS A THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, IT IS THE THE IDEA IS THERE.

WHERE I THINK IT CURRENTLY OPERATES, WHERE THEY ARE.

DOORS ARE IN CONSTANT LOCKDOWN EXCEPT FOR PASSING PERIODS.

SO THE DOORS ONLY UP OPEN UP DURING THOSE PASSING PERIODS.

BUT THEN, THEN DOORS ARE OPEN FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, HOWEVER LONG THAT BELL IS SEVEN MINUTES OR SO.

BUT YES, IN OUR NEW DESIGN, THE IDEA IS THAT IF WE CAN ALLOW THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO STAY WITHIN THE BUILDING AT ALL POINTS IN TIME AND NOT EVER REALLY HAVE TO GET OUTSIDE THE BUILDING, THAT CERTAINLY WAS WAS A GOAL OR AN ATTEMPT OF OURS TO DO SO.

THAT IS WHY THOSE, YOU KNOW, WHY THOSE LITTLE CONNECTOR LANES ARE BEING TALKED ABOUT.

THERE IS A POTENTIAL THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DO A FEW OF THESE HARD WALLED SPACES, CONNECTORS TO THE BUILDING.

YOU MIGHT FEASIBLY DECIDE THAT YOU ARE YOU CAN FENCE SOME OF THE OTHER AREA IF IT MAKES SENSE.

IT'S A, IT'S IT'S A CONSTANT KIND OF A QUESTION, JUST KIND OF A BACK AND FORTH JUST TO KIND OF GET A COME TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF COMPROMISE AND HOW THE SCHOOL WANTS TO CONTINUE TO FUNCTION, HOW OUR, OUR ADMINISTRATION WANTS THE BUILDING TO FUNCTION.

BUT IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU'RE RIGHT, THE THING HAS CHANGED SO MUCH AND KIND OF HOW WE VIEW OUR SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, WITH OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, PROJECT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNEW THAT WE WENT BACK AND ADDED DOORS TO ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOMS. SO THEY ALL HAVE NOW DOORS, DOORS TO THE CLASSROOMS TO LOCK DOWN AND ENTRY RESISTANT FILM ON ALL THE WINDOWS, TELEMETRY SCHOOLS.

SO WE ARE CERTAINLY THINKING ABOUT THAT, THAT KIND OF THING.

IT'S JUST IT'S ON SO, SO MUCH A LARGER SCALE THAN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AND SO IT'S JUST KIND OF HOW TO, HOW TO DO SOMETHING APPROPRIATE THAT STILL ALLOWS IT TO DO WHAT IT'S GOT TO DO.

SO WE CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IT AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO BRING IT UP TO THE BOARD AS WE AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THIS PROJECT AND KIND OF.

HIGHLIGHT THOSE AREAS TO TO TO KIND OF LET YOU SEE THE PROGRESS.

JUST ONE MORE COMMENT REAL QUICK.

PERMITTING. OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE A LOT OF NEED.

AND WE KNOW PEOPLE.

SO, I MEAN, WHERE'S MY I NEED TO I NEED TO WRITE THE DIRECT LINE.

JACK'S BACK HERE SOMEWHERE.

THAT GUY RIGHT THERE.

HEY. ALRIGHT. IN ALL SINCERITY, THE WAY THAT WE APPROACH, A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT ARE, DIFFERENT THAN THIS, BUT OF LARGE, LARGE MAGNITUDE IS TO TO HAVE REGULAR MEETINGS TO MAKE SURE WE STAY ON TOP OF THINGS.

OKAY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMMITTED.

IF YOU GET TO THAT POINT WHERE YOU'RE RUNNING INTO ANY SORT OF, ELEMENT ON OUR END THAT NEEDS TO TO BE FIXED.

[01:00:03]

IT MEANS A LOT TO THE COMMUNITY, SO IT MAY BE ACTUALLY WISE TO BE PROACTIVE ABOUT THAT AND START ESTABLISHING SOME.

REGULAR COMMUNICATIONS ON OUR END TO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP YOU ALL WHERE YOU NEED TO BE FROM OUR APPROVAL PROCESS.

SO. AFTERWARDS, IF YOU DON'T MIND, IF YOU WOULD GRAB JACK'S CAR.

AND IN ALL SINCERITY, WE'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THOSE COMMUNICATIONS FREQUENT.

NO, WE APPRECIATE IT. AND WE'VE WE'VE ALWAYS APPRECIATED THE RELATIONSHIP WE'VE HAD WITH, WITH YOUR, BUILDING INSPECTION DEPARTMENT AND THE ABILITY TO TO TO GET THE PERMIT, VERY MUCH LIKE THE CITY OF PLANO IN THAT REGARD.

AND THE SPEED THAT YOU DO IT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

TONY. YOU BET. THE BIGGEST THE THE THE THE BIGGEST DEPRESSING THING I SAW WAS THAT I WAS THE I WAS IN THE FIRST CLASS THAT WENT TO HAGGARD AND AND AND NOW THAT THAT BUILDING GOES AWAY.

SO THAT JUST TELLS YOU HOW OLD I AM.

ALL RIGHT.

[3.3. City of Plano Capital Projects Update]

I'D LIKE TO INVITE RON SMITH, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND REC, AND CALEB THORNHILL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, AND DAN PRENDERGAST, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. WHOA! IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO ASSIST ME WITH, JUST GETTING TO OUR SLIDE DECK, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE'S WORKING ON IT.

YES. OKAY.

AND, JUST THE, ADVANCE ARROW.

HERE IS WHAT I'LL BE USING.

OKAY. EXCUSE ME.

CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR AND, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, I AM RON SMITH, YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR.

JUST A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE ARE DOING IN OUR DEPARTMENT AS FAR AS A CAPITAL PROJECTS OR WHAT WE REFER TO AS COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROJECTS.

THE OBJECTIVE OF MY DEPARTMENT IS TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THE RESIDENTS OF PLANO THROUGH QUALITY PARKS AND RECREATION OFFERINGS. WE ARE GUIDED BY OUR PARK MASTER PLAN AND THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO WHAT WE ARE STRIVING TO DO IS COMPLETE THE CITY'S PARK AND RECREATION, TO BUILD OUT AS FAR AS OUR SYSTEM IS CONCERNED. WE DO THIS THROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PROPERTY AND MORE AND MORE THE RENOVATION OF EXISTING PROPERTIES.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PARKS AND RECREATION AMENITIES ARE UP TO THE CITY OF PLANO AND OUR PLANO RESIDENT EXPECTATIONS, WHETHER IT'S PARKLAND, TRAILS, RECREATION FACILITIES OR OUR MAINTENANCE FACILITIES.

IT'S GETTING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO MEET THESE.

OBJECTIVES. AS THE CITY NEARS ITS BUILD OUT, WE ONLY HAVE A SMALL FRACTION OF OUR GREENFIELD SPACE AVAILABLE, NOT LIKE IT WAS 25 YEARS AGO, OR 40 YEARS AGO OR 50 YEARS AGO WHEN WE STARTED.

BUT WE ARE, INVOLVED, AND WE'RE AT THE TABLE WHEN OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OR OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT, MEET WITH DEVELOPERS, EXAMPLES WOULD BE LIKE THE, COLLIN CREEK MALL.

WE'VE GOT SOME PARK PROPERTY THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THERE THAT WAS ON OUR MASTER PLAN, AS THE JC PENNEY CAMPUS, FOR EXAMPLE.

WE'RE IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING THE NEEDS OF NOT ONLY OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS, BUT OUR FUTURE RESIDENTS.

MY GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE KINDERGARTEN CLASS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.

WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR CHILDREN OR WHEN THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THEIR SCHOOL EXPERIENCE, THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME QUALITY PARK AND RECREATION EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAD AS OR THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE HAVING RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S OUR GOAL, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT TOMORROW'S OPPORTUNITIES ARE JUST AS GOOD AND THE SAME QUALITY AS TODAY.

GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HPISD SPANS OVER 50 YEARS.

WE HAVE A REALLY GREAT TRACK RECORD AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

MANY OF OUR PARKS ARE ADJOINING PROPERTY WITH HPISD, AND THAT HAS SERVED US VERY WELL.

WE'VE ADVANCED FROM THE.

OKAY, I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH THAT ONE.

I, WE WE'VE ADVANCED FROM HAVING OUR RECREATION CENTERS AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

WE HAD CLARK RECREATION CENTER WHEN I FIRST STARTED.

WE HAD, WE HAD, THE, VINES RECREATION CENTER, AND NOW WE'VE MOVED ON FROM THOSE, BUT STILL A GOOD

[01:05:01]

YOU THINK? WELL, THAT THAT FACILITY JUST OPENED, HOW CAN THIS BE? WELL, ACTUALLY, IT OPENED IN 2000.

MY NOTES, IT'S 18 YEARS OLD.

THAT'S HOW OLD IT IS.

AND WE JUST LIKE YOU, WE KNOW THAT ABOUT 20 TO 25 YEARS, THESE FACILITIES NEED TO BE RENOVATED.

THIS IS OUR OUR HEAVIEST USE FACILITY.

GETS A LOT OF LOVE FROM OUR PISD STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS OF PLANO.

AND IT IS READY FOR A FULL SCALE RENOVATION, WHICH IS JUST ABOUT TO KICK OFF.

ANOTHER ONE. CARPENTER RECREATION CENTER.

WHEN I STARTED, IT WAS THE PLANO RECREATION CENTER AS THE ONLY, STANDALONE RECREATION CENTER.

NOW, CARPENTER PARK RECREATION CENTER, YOU MAY BE THINKING, BUT WAIT A SECOND.

THAT THING WAS JUST RENOVATED.

WELL, IT WAS IN 2011.

AND SO WHEN 2029 ROLLS AROUND, WE ANTICIPATE, HAVING THAT AS A, AS A BOND ITEM TO RENOVATE THAT FACILITY AS WELL. SO TWO EXAMPLES OF TWO OF OUR MAJOR RECREATION CENTERS AND HOW WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT OUR OLDEST ASSETS BECOME OUR NEWEST ASSETS.

AND THAT'S HOW WE KEEP OUR SYSTEM RELEVANT AND VIBRANT.

OKAY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, 100 PARKS IN THE CITY, MANY OF WHICH ARE NEAR SOME OF YOUR PISD CAMPUSES, OUR PISD CAMPUSES.

I'M A PROUD, A PROUD, SHEPHERD PATRIOT.

SO, AND WILSON AND VINES AND PLANO SENIOR HIGH ARE THE SCHOOLS THAT I'M MOST FAMILIAR WITH OVER THE LAST 16 YEARS.

BUT THIS IS JUST A LIST OF SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE EITHER ALREADY KICKED OFF OR IN FULL SWING OR ABOUT TO WRAP UP, MANY OF WHICH I'VE LISTED THESE SCHOOLS THAT ARE NEAR.

SO JACK CARTER, THAT'S ONE THAT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BECAUSE THERE USED TO BE A MAINTENANCE BUILDING THERE.

AND WE HAD, UTILITY TRUCKS, OR, SERVICE TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT OF THAT RECREATION CENTER OR THAT FACILITY AND MANY STUDENTS USING THOSE TRAILS. SO IT'S GOING TO BE WONDERFUL TO HAVE THAT, MAINTENANCE BUILDING REPLACED BY OPEN SPACE AND PARKLAND.

OTHER EXAMPLES, WOODRUFF EVANS PARK, WHICH IS JUST ABOUT TO WRAP UP.

WE'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD REPORT COMING OUR WAY IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO ON THAT PARK.

HARRINGTON PARK IS ONE WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.

IT'S RIGHT BY THE NEW ROBINSON FINE ARTS CENTER, THE THE LAND THAT YOU'VE ACQUIRED THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT.

AND THEN KITTY CORNER TO THAT IS GOING TO BE HALL PARK SOMEDAY DEVELOPED.

SO THAT WHOLE QUADRANT, OUR SENIOR RECREATION CENTER, HARRINGTON PARK, THE ACADEMY AND THIS NEW FACILITY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THAT WHOLE AREA IS GOING TO BE WELL CONNECTED WITH TRAIL, NEW PARK.

IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY, REALLY GREAT PLACE.

GLEN MEADOWS, LONGHORN AND HORSESHOE, JUST EXAMPLES OF PARKS THAT ARE GOING TO BE SOON RENOVATED THAT HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE STUDENTS IN THE PISD. OKAY.

THIS IS, JUST A MAP THAT SHOWS SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT I JUST MENTIONED AND WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, GEOGRAPHICALLY, OF WHERE WE'RE WORKING RIGHT NOW.

AS FAR AS A LOOK AHEAD OF WHAT WE THINK THAT WE NEED, THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED.

ONE IS A SENIOR RECREATION CENTER WEST OF COIT ROAD, THE SAM JOHNSON CENTER, RECENTLY RENOVATED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT IS PAST ITS CAPACITY.

WE'VE GOT VERY MANY ACTIVE SENIORS IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND THEY ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER LOCATION THAT WILL HAVE A LARGE EXERCISE OR CARDIO ROOM, AN INDOOR WALKING TRACK, BALLROOM, FLEXIBLE SPACE.

AND ONE THING THAT WE HAVE NOTED AT SAM JOHNSON, SOME OF OUR PATRONS THERE, THE REASON THAT THEY GET UP EVERY MORNING IS BECAUSE THEIR FRIENDS ARE WAITING FOR THEM AT THE SAM JOHNSON CAFE, AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LET THEM DOWN.

AND WE WANT TO RECREATE THAT SAME, SOCIAL EXPERIENCE, AT THIS NEW SENIOR CENTER, WHEREVER THAT IS AND WHENEVER THAT IS. BUT WE SEE THAT THAT IS A A GROWING NEED THAT WE WILL WANT TO ADDRESS.

THE OTHER THING THAT WE'VE NOTED IS THAT IN OUR RECREATION CENTERS, WE HAVE THESE DIFFERENT GYM SPACES THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT PEOPLE LOVE TO PLAY THEIR SPORT OF PREFERENCE, AS A DROP IN.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD LOCATION FOR ADULT SPORTS LEAGUES.

[01:10:06]

WE WANT A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN PLAY ORGANIZED LEAGUE FROM BASKETBALL TO BADMINTON, VOLLEYBALL, TABLE TENNIS, PICKLEBALL, WHATEVER KIND OF SPORT THAT YOU CAN PUT IN A LARGE GYMNASIUM FOR A SPECIFIC TO ADULT SPORTS LEAGUES.

CONTINUE ON THE LOOK AHEAD.

JUST SOME, UPCOMING PARK PROJECTS, SOME NEW DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO SOME REDEVELOPMENT.

MOORE PARK, WHICH IS JUST UP THE ROAD FROM MCCALL ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS ON THE ALLEN AND PLANO BORDER IN EAST PLANO.

THAT IS GOING TO BE A SPORTS COMPLEX WITH LIGHTED CRICKET GROUNDS AND SOCCER FIELDS.

AND THE CRICKET IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW PLANO'S DEMOGRAPHIC HAS CHANGED OVER THE LAST 10 TO 15 YEARS.

LIGHTED CRICKET IS SOMETHING THAT WE ONLY HAVE A ONE LOCATION AT RUSSELL CREEK PARK WHERE WE OFFER THAT.

BUT MOORE PARK IS GOING TO HAVE, A GREAT COMBINATION OF LIGHTED CRICKET AND SOCCER FIELDS TO MEET BOTH OF THOSE.

THE STAYING POWER OF THE POPULARITY OF SOCCER IS SELF-EVIDENT, AND THE GROWTH OF CRICKET IN OUR AREA SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AS WELL.

THIS, OLD SHEPHERD GOING TO HAVE A BIG FACELIFT ONE OF THESE DAYS COMING UP, IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, WHICH IS RIGHT BY HUFFMAN AND SHEPTON HIGH SCHOOL AND VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY PARKS ALL THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

OH, AND CONCLUSION I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE MORE TIME THAT THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ONE THAT WE CHERISH AND WE LEVERAGE.

WE MEET WITH YOUR FACILITIES FOLKS ON OCCASION, AND WE THINK THAT RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BEAR FRUIT FOR THE RESIDENTS OF PLANO IN THE FUTURE AS WELL. THANK YOU.

OKAY. CALEB.

YOU'RE UP. WAIT WAIT WAIT.

OH. THAT'S RIGHT. QUESTIONS? YEAH. SO I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE FUTURE SOON TO BE WHEREVER SENIOR RECREATION CENTER.

ARE YOU PLANNING ON, HUNTING FOR NEW SPACE OR ARE YOU PLANNING ON RENOVATING AND I GUESS RECLASSIFY SOME OF THE CURRENT RECREATION CENTER.

WE'RE, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

THANK YOU. WE ARE, RIGHT NOW LOOKING AT, PURCHASING NEW AS FAR AS NOT NOT RENOVATING SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY OWN.

THE NEAREST LOCATION THAT WE WOULD THINK WOULD BE A GOOD FIT WOULD BE TOM UHLENBECK, CENTER.

THAT'S ALREADY VERY, VERY POPULAR WITH OUR BROAD CLIENTELE.

WE HAVE LOOKED AT MAYBE REPURPOSING CERTAIN SPORTS FIELDS.

HOWEVER, MOST OF THOSE LARGE SPACES ARE USED FOR SOCCER.

I MENTIONED RUSSELL CREEK.

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD LOCATION FOR A SECOND SENIOR CENTER, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT WE WOULD DISPLACE THOUSANDS OF SOCCER AND CRICKET PLAYERS.

SO, WE'VE LOOKED AT ALL THESE DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

IT MAY BE THAT OUR LAND MANAGER CONTINUES TO LOOK OUR REAL ESTATE MANAGER FOR DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

MAYBE IT'S A STRIP MALL, MAYBE IT'S AN OLD FACILITY OF A, WHATEVER IT COULD BE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERY OPTION AND WE HOPE TO FIND ONE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS THE RIGHT PRICE, THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

YES. WELL, I USED THE OAK POINT RECREATION CENTER TO EXERCISE, AND I'M ALSO OLD ENOUGH TO BE A SENIOR CENTER.

SO, WITH, MARIA'S QUESTION, THE THING IS THAT WOULD YOU OR IS THERE SPACE ON THE EAST SIDE? A PLANO WOOD.

IF WOOD, A SENIOR CENTER, FIT WELL.

SO THERE COULD BE SPACE.

THE CURRENT SAM JOHNSON CENTER IS RIGHT AT HIGHWAY 75 AND 15TH.

SO, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAYOUT OF PLANO JUST GEOGRAPHICALLY, THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST PORTION OF PLANO ARE SERVED WELL BY THE SAM JOHNSON.

IF WE WENT TOO FAR.

EAST, WE WOULD START ATTRACTING PROBABLY RESIDENTS FROM MURPHY, WHOM WE LOVE.

I MEAN, WE LIKE OUR SURROUNDING, BUT WE DO SEE THAT AS FAR AS THE SENIOR POPULATION, WE WOULD REALLY WANT TO TAKE IT WEST OF COIT TO REALLY GET IN A LOCATION WHERE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF SENIORS THAT ARE THAT AS FAMILIES HAVE GROWN AND THEY'RE AGING IN PLACE, THEY'RE STAYING AT HOME BECAUSE OF THE GREAT AMENITIES THAT WE OFFER AS A CITY.

SO WE'RE MOSTLY LOOKING WEST OF COIT ROAD.

[01:15:01]

SINCE THE CITY MANAGER MADE A COMMENT ABOUT Y'ALL GETTING COMPLAINTS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION.

I'M GONNA PAY YOU A COMPLIMENT.

ARE YOU TALKING? YOU'RE TALKING TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE COMPLIMENT.

WELL, IT'S RELATED.

OKAY. SO MY KIDS GO TO DAFFRON, WHICH OF COURSE IS CONTIGUOUS WITH PRESTON MEADOW PARK, AND Y'ALL ARE ADDING THOSE PARKING SPACES. AND I LIVE IN THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT FIRST SUBDIVISION OF OF PRESTON MEADOW AND THE CONSTRUCTION HAS REMARKABLY NOT INTERFERED WITH MORNING CARPOOL, WHICH OF COURSE, IS CRITICAL TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE TRYING TO GET OUR KIDS OUT OF THE CAR AND TO WORK IN THE MORNING.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS A PLAN.

YOU CAN ACT LIKE IT WAS A PLAN, EVEN IF IT WASN'T.

JUST TAKE CREDIT, BECAUSE NOT ONLY A DOES OUR NEIGHBORHOOD VERY, VERY MUCH APPRECIATE Y'ALL EXPANDING THE PARKING OPTION SO THAT PEOPLE AREN'T PARKING IN FRONT OF CITIZENS HOMES WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING CRICKET OR FOOTBALL OR WHATEVER THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THAT, THOSE LARGE FIELDS.

BUT, I JUST I, AS A RESIDENT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, APPRECIATE THE LACK OF DISRUPTION.

I FEEL LIKE Y'ALL HAVE BEEN VERY SENSITIVE TO DURING THE CARPOOL HOURS.

SO THANK YOU.

ALSO LOVE THE SAM JOHNSON RECREATION CENTER.

MY PARENTS ARE THERE ALL THE TIME.

THANK YOU ALL THE TIME.

THEY LOVE IT.

I'M GOING TO FALL ON MY SWORD AS WE START THIS AND APOLOGIZE TO DOCTOR RON SMITH AS THE THE TIMEOUT WINDOW CAME UP THERE, I LEANED OVER TO DOUG AND I SAID, I FEEL LIKE I'M AT THE OSCARS AND I'M GETTING THE WRAP UP.

AND RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT RON LOOKED OVER AND I'M SITTING HERE GOING LIKE THIS.

AND HE'S SO, I'M SORRY, RON.

IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL.

IT WAS. IT WAS A BETWEEN DOUG AND I JOKE.

SO, MY NAME IS CALEB THORNHILL.

I'M THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING.

ENGINEERING'S GOAL IS TO IMPROVE CITIZENS LIFE AT HOME, AT WORK, AND REALLY EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN AND HOPEFULLY AT CARPOOLS AS WELL.

THAT IS A PROJECT THAT ENGINEERING IS UNDERTAKING.

I'VE GOT A REAL BRIEF SLIDE SET.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW PARKS.

THEY TALK ABOUT SLIDES AND BASKETBALL AND FIELDS, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE, SO I APOLOGIZE.

SEE IF I GET THE RIGHT BUTTON.

THERE WE GO. SO I'VE GOT JUST A FEW SLIDES, TALK A BIG OVERVIEW OF WHAT, ENGINEERING HAS ACTIVELY GOING ON.

HIGHLIGHT A FEW PROJECTS AND THEN SHOW YOU A MAP, AND THEN I'LL MOVE ON.

BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE, MARK WAS NOT INCORRECT.

WE DO HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVE PROJECTS.

ENGINEERING CURRENTLY HAS 84 PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTIVE.

38 OF THOSE ARE IN CONSTRUCTION.

AND THEN THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE PUBLIC WORKS, WHICH HAS ACTIVE PROJECTS AS WELL.

APPROXIMATELY $88 MILLION IN FUNDING FOR JUST THIS FISCAL YEAR.

TYPICAL PROJECTS, FOR ENGINEERING, WE WORK HAND IN HAND WITH PUBLIC WORKS.

YOU'LL SEE PUBLIC WORKS OUT THERE REPLACING A CONCRETE PANEL ALONG A, ONE OF THE ARTERIALS WHEN ENGINEERING GETS INVOLVED IS WHEN IT'S A FULL REPLACEMENT.

SO IT MAY BE AN INTERSECTION WHERE WE'RE ADDING TURN LANES, REPLACING SIGNALS.

IT MAY BE A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET WHERE WE'RE REPLACING THE WATER LINE IN THE STREET, THE SIDEWALKS, THE RAMPS, ALLEYS, SCREENING WALLS.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE WATER REHAB, AND SEWER.

SO THOSE ARE THE MAIN TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT WE, UNDERTAKE.

FROM PROJECTS ACTIVE.

I'VE ONLY HIGHLIGHTED TWO.

WE HAVE A LIST ON OUR WEBSITE AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT HERE IN A MINUTE.

THE COLLIN CREEK MALL, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT.

IT'S THE WE'RE RENOVATING THE CULVERTS THAT ACTUALLY RUN THROUGH THAT SOUTH PARKING LOT OR THE EAST PARKING LOT.

I APOLOGIZE. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT REALLY ANYBODY SEES.

IT IS UNTIL I'M TOLD DIFFERENTLY.

IT IS THE BIGGEST PROJECT THAT ENGINEERING OR THE SIP SIP GROUP IS UNDERTAKING IN THE HISTORY OF PLANO.

APPROXIMATELY $30 MILLION.

IT'S A MILE AND A HALF OF CULVERTS.

THERE'S THREE CULVERTS SIDE BY SIDE.

THEY CARRY THE SPRING CREEK CHANNEL.

THAT RUNS UNDERNEATH THAT PARKING LOT.

IT WILL REMAIN UNDERGROUND, BUT THAT, CULVERT SYSTEM WAS BUILT IN 1980 WITH THE MALL.

WHEN IT WAS PLACED UNDERGROUND.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY RENOVATING IT TO EXTEND THAT LIFE.

AND WE ARE ACTIVELY IN CONSTRUCTION.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SEE FROM THE PHOTO HERE, BUT WHAT YOU SEE IS THEY HAVE PUT IN A ENTIRE MAT OF STEEL FROM THE BOTTOM, ALL THE WAY UP AROUND THE TOP.

AND WHAT IT IS, IS THEY'RE ADDING 14IN OF CONCRETE, 14IN OF CONCRETE THROUGHOUT ALL THREE OR A MILE AND A HALF OF TUNNELS, TWO MATS OF STEEL.

EXCUSE ME. THIS IS JUST THE FIRST MATCH.

[01:20:02]

AND WE EXPECT THAT TO BE COMPLETE THIS SUMMER.

THE OTHER LARGE PROJECT THAT WE HAVE IS SHILOH ROAD.

IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR, THAT'S BEEN A TWO LANE SECTION, BUT IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, YOU'VE SEEN THAT THERE'S BEEN AN EXTRA WIDE AREA OF GRASS, THAT'S BEEN PLANNED FOR EXPANSION SINCE WAY BEFORE I WAS HERE.

WE WERE ACTUALLY COMPLETING THAT.

IT'S GOING FAIRLY WELL.

WE HAD TO ADD A NEW BRIDGE OVER THE CREEK THERE.

BUT SO FAR IT HAS BEEN AS SEAMLESS AS THE A COMPLICATED PROJECT CAN BE.

IT'S ADJACENT TO THE PARK THERE, SO IT'S GOT ADDED BIKE LANES TO IT.

IT'S, JUST IT'LL BE A CONNECTION POINT TO THE SHILOH ROAD DART STATION, WHEN THAT COMES THROUGH THERE.

SO THAT'S THE REASON WE ADDED THE BIKE LANES.

BUT IT IS MOVING ALONG AND, WE'RE HOPING FOR THAT TO BE DONE THIS SPRING.

MY LAST SLIDE.

IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE, BUT THIS IS ON OUR WEBSITE, AND I'VE PUT THE LINK THERE.

I'M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU TO REMEMBER THE LINK BECAUSE IT'S GOT 1060 BCE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT.

JUST GO TO THE PLANO ENGINEERING WEBSITE AND UNDER COMMUNITY INVESTMENT AND THERE'S A LINK TO THIS MAP.

BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO IS YOU CAN ZOOM IN AND ZOOM OUT.

YOU CAN TYPE IN YOUR ADDRESS, IT'LL TAKE YOU TO YOUR ADDRESS.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT PROJECTS ARE ACTIVE NEAR YOUR LOCATION.

IF YOU NEED TO PUT IN A SCHOOL, OR WHATEVER YOUR THE AREA THEY'RE LOOKING IN, WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE PROJECT, IT'LL ACTUALLY BRING UP THE REPORT AND GIVE YOU A STATUS UPDATE. WE UPDATE THAT MONTHLY, OBVIOUSLY IT SHOWS THERE THE ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND THE ONES WE HAVE DESIGNED.

SO YOU MAY CLICK ON A PROJECT AND WHILE YOU MAY NOT SEE CONSTRUCTION, IT SHOWS IT'S UNDER DESIGN AND IT'LL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE PROJECT SCHEDULE.

SO THAT'S THE SLIDES THAT I HAVE PREPARED.

BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

IF NOT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MR. PRENDERGAST. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. I'M DAN PRENDERGAST, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF OUR MAJOR STREET PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON HERE IN THE CITY.

WE HAVE TWO MAIN TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT WE DO.

THE FIRST ONE THAT YOU SEE HERE IS OUR ARTERIAL CONCRETE REPAIR AND OVERLAY PROJECTS.

SO I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN THEM AROUND TOWN.

WE PUT THAT THIN OVERLAY ON TOP OF THE CONCRETE PAVEMENT AND IT DRIES MUCH SMOOTHER.

THIS PICTURE HERE IS NOT A RENDERING.

IT IS AN ACTUAL PROJECT GOING DOWN.

AND IT WAS INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY, ACTUALLY, THE FIRST ONE THAT WE DID.

BYE BYE. AND THAT WAS ABOUT.

DID VERY WELL.

TEST SECTION THAT WE LOOKED AT FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS OF THAT PROGRAM IS DOING A LOT MORE NOW.

AND WHAT THESE PROJECTS DO IS THEY GO IN, WE REPAIR ALL THE DAMAGED CONCRETE ON THE ROAD.

AND THEN ONCE WE DO THAT, WE PUT THE THIN OVERLAY ON TOP OF IT, AND THAT SEALS OFF THE PAVEMENT SURFACE AND HELPS MAINTAIN THE PAVEMENT FOR MUCH LONGER THAN ITS DESIGN LIFE.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PAVEMENT RIGHT NOW IN PLANO THAT NEEDS TO BE MAINTAINED.

SO THE MAP YOU SEE HERE IS KIND OF, I GUESS, THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM.

SO THE STREETS THAT YOU SEE IN GRAY ARE STREETS THAT WE'VE ALREADY OVERLAID.

WE TRY TO COVER ALL OF THE CITY AS WELL.

SO ON THE WEST SIDE THERE, YOU'VE GOT THE WEST PORTION OF PARKER ROAD THAT WAS DONE THIS YEAR.

THAT GOES FROM OUR CITY LIMITS TO DNA.

WIND HAVEN WAS DONE AS WELL.

PLANO PARKWAY ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF TOWN.

AND THEN THE SECTION OF PARKER ROAD BETWEEN PRESTON AND INDEPENDENCE WAS FINISHED A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

AND COIT ROAD AT JUPITER AS WELL.

THIS YEAR WE ARE DOING A LOT OF OVERLAYS.

ALL OF THE GREEN LINES YOU SEE HERE ARE PLANNED TO BE OVERLAID THROUGHOUT THE CITY, STARTING SOMETIME, PROBABLY IN THE APRIL MAY TIME FRAME, GOING THROUGH PROBABLY OCTOBER.

WHEN WE CAN, WHEN IT'S WARM ENOUGH, WE DO NIGHT WORK.

SO WE'RE NOT DISRUPTING TRAFFIC.

BUT SOMETIMES WHEN THE PAVEMENT TEMPERATURE IS MORE OR LESS THAN 60 DEGREES, WE HAVE TO DO IT DURING THE DAY.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE WE'VE GOT MIDWAY ROAD ON THE WEST SIDE.

THAT'S A CONCRETE PROJECT THAT'S ABOUT 98% COMPLETE NOW.

PARKWAY BOULEVARD AS WELL.

THAT WAS REHABBED LAST YEAR.

WE'RE GOING TO FINISH PARKER ROAD ON THE WEST SIDE.

SO THE WHOLE SECTION FROM THE WEST CITY LIMITS TO, INDEPENDENCE WILL BE FINISHED WITH AN OVERLAY.

WE'VE GOT HEDGE COKE'S IN THE NORTH SIDE, ALMA ROAD ON THE EAST.

MORE PARKER ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE AS WELL.

LOS RIOS AND PLANO PARKWAY.

SO, THE ROADS YOU SEE IN ORANGE ARE ROADS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE CONCRETE.

SO THESE ARE AHEAD OF THE OVERLAYS.

SO, HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR YOU'LL SEE GREEN IN THE AREAS THAT YOU SEE ORANGE AND SEE NEW ORANGE AREAS ELSEWHERE.

AND YOU KNOW, I HEARD RON SAY THAT HIS GOAL IS TO MAKE LIFE BETTER IN PLANO MINUS TWO.

IT'S JUST YOU HAVE TO KIND OF GO THROUGH SOME PAIN FIRST BEFORE WE GET TO THE GOOD STUFF, RIGHT? THE OTHER TYPE OF PROJECT THAT WE HAVE IS THE, THE RESIDENTIAL STREET IN ALLEY REHAB.

WE DO NEIGHBORHOOD ZONES.

SO THESE ARE ONE SQUARE MILE, TYPICALLY ZONES THAT GO THROUGH, LIKE THE MAJOR ARTERIALS THAT YOU SEE.

SO LIKE, I LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO THAT WOULD BE BETWEEN INDEPENDENCE PARK AND PARKER.

WE GO THROUGH THESE AREAS AND WE REHAB ALL THE STREETS, THE SIDEWALKS AND THE ALLEYS BY REMOVING THE DAMAGED PAVEMENT, PUTTING NEW PAVEMENT DOWN.

[01:25:07]

SO EVERY PIECE OF PAVEMENT NOW GETS A MAINTENANCE TREATMENT.

WE'RE NOT JUST FIXING WHAT WAS BROKEN.

AND THAT'S WORKING VERY WELL FOR US.

SO THESE PROJECTS, TYPICALLY TAKE ABOUT TWO YEARS OR SO TO GET THROUGH THE ENTIRE ZONE.

WE GO STREET BY STREET.

SO YOU COULD BE IN THAT ZONE AND NOT EVEN KNOW SOMETHING'S GOING ON.

BUT THEY WILL GET TO YOUR STREET EVENTUALLY.

WE COORDINATE WITH THE SCHOOLS AS WELL.

SO WE TRY TO DO ALL THE WORK AROUND THE SCHOOLS DURING THE SUMMER TIME, WHICH IS A PRETTY TIGHT WINDOW TO DO THAT.

BUT WE'VE DONE IT, I THINK, FAIRLY WELL WITH THAT.

THIS MAP HERE SHOWS YOU IN GREEN, WHERE OUR CURRENT PROJECTS ARE GOING ON IN THE CITY.

AND SO THEY'RE GOING STREET BY STREET, ALLEY BY ALLEY, REPAIRING THE CONCRETE.

AND THE AREAS THAT YOU SEE IN RED HERE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE COMING UP LATER ON THIS YEAR.

AND SO THE BOND PROGRAM THAT WE HAD, WAS $170 MILLION, $100 MILLION OF THAT WAS FOR OUR ARTERIAL OVERLAYS.

AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH THAT MONEY PRETTY QUICKLY RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD SIDE, WE HAD ABOUT $72 MILLION TO DO NEIGHBORHOOD REHAB, AND WE EXPECT THAT PROBABLY TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT BOND PROGRAM AS WELL, BECAUSE WE WANT TO STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE.

JUST LIKE YOU'VE SEEN WITH YOUR FACILITIES, WE'RE ALL KIND OF IN THE SAME BOAT RIGHT NOW.

ALL OF PLANO IS AGING AT THE SAME RATE.

WE WERE ALL BUILT AT THE SAME TIME.

A LOT OF TIMES THEY WERE ALL BUILT IN THE SAME LOCATION ALMOST.

SO, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, PARK, PARKER, ALMA CUSTER, THOSE ARE ALL, YOU KNOW, 5 TO 10 YEARS APART.

SO THEY'RE ALL AGING AT THE SAME RATE, AND WE CAN'T FIX THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T DECOMMISSION A ROAD, BUT, ANYWAY, IT'S A IT'S A BIG TASK, BUT I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

AND I THINK WITH THAT, THAT WAS MY LAST SLIDE.

YES. HEY, DAN, WHAT IS THE LIFE OF THE OVERLAY? SO THE CONCRETE REPAIRS THAT WE DO UNDERNEATH ARE 20 YEARS AND THE OVERLAY ON TOP IS TEN YEARS.

AND SO FOR THE BONDS THAT WE USE OFF THE BONDS FOR THE LAND HERE.

SO WE'RE NOT PAYING ON BONDS. WE'RE DOING A NEW PROJECT.

MM.HMM. THANK YOU, DAN.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[3.4. City of Plano Economic Development Update]

DOUG MCDONALD.

ALL RIGHT. I'M A LITTLE SHORT HERE.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU MAYOR, COUNCIL, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, SUPERINTENDENT.

I WANT TO JUST FIRST EXPRESS MY MY GRATITUDE AND AND SUPPORT FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

YOU MAKE MY JOB A LOT EASIER.

WITHOUT YOU AND WITHOUT THE WORK YOU DO TO MAKE SURE THAT PLANO ISD REMAINS THE BEST IN THE STATE.

IT MAKES MY JOB VERY HARD.

BECAUSE SCHOOLS ARE THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT BRINGS IN OUR COMPANIES AND OUR JOBS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

MY MOTHER WAS AN EDUCATOR FOR 20 YEARS FOR GARLAND ISD.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE PANDEMIC PUT HER INTO RETIREMENT.

SHE COULDN'T DO THAT HYBRID WORKFORCE THAT, OUR TEACHERS ARE VERY SKILLED AT NOW.

SO I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REMAIN A COMPETITIVE WORKFORCE, BECAUSE THAT, AGAIN, DRIVES WHAT WE HAVE HERE IN OUR GREAT CORPORATE ENVIRONMENT. SO WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, OUR PRIORITIES REALLY REVOLVE AROUND JOB OPPORTUNITIES.

SO CONTINUING TO CREATE NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES, THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, TO DIVERSIFY OUR ECONOMIC BASE.

SO MAKING SURE THAT WE DON'T, GO INTO DEEP ON ONE SPECIFIC INDUSTRY THAT WE HAVE A VERY DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRY, AND WE'VE DONE THAT VERY WELL WITH A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY, AS YOU SEE, WITH OUR GRANITE PARK AND LEGACY, WITH OUR PROFESSIONAL POSITIONS AND PROFESSIONAL JOBS, BUT ALSO IN THE RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY CROSSROADS WITH A LOT OF OUR MANUFACTURING JOBS THAT ARE COMING ABOARD THAT ARE REALLY RIGHT NOW DRIVING A LOT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS THAT'S GOING ON HERE IN THE CITY OF PLANO AND INCREASING THE TAX BASE. AND THAT REALLY PROVIDES A LOT OF THESE SERVICES AND RESOURCES THAT WE PROVIDE TO OUR RESIDENTS.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CONTINUING TO INCREASE THE TAX BASE.

WE SEE PROPERTIES THAT ARE STARTING TO DECLINE OR PROPERTIES THAT WE WANT TO SELL TO MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN.

WE NOW HAVE THE TOOLS AND THE TOOLBOX TO REALLY BE A PARTNER IN THAT REDEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.

YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT SHORTLY.

SO IN 2023, WE HAD 19 EXPANSION PROJECTS IN 18 RELOCATION PROJECTS.

EXPANSION INCLUDES BOTH THE COMPANY EXPANDING INTO PLANO OR AN EXPANSION WITHIN THE CITY OF PLANO.

THEY ARE ALREADY IN PLANO AND THEY EXPANDED WITHIN THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THEIR OF THEIR SPACE, ONE POINT 6,000,000FT² OF SPACE THAT WAS LEASED THIS LAST YEAR.

ABOUT 1600 EMPLOYEES ADDED.

SO I'LL TELL YOU, THIS IS A LITTLE SLOWER YEAR FOR US BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND THE CHALLENGES WITH WORK FROM HOME AND WHAT THAT'S DOING TO THE WORKFORCE IN TERMS OF JOBS AND OFFICE SPACE.

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD YEAR FOR EVERY OTHER CITY AROUND US.

SO WE ARE AT A VERY GREAT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR WHERE WE ARE AT.

BUT WE KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE ON SOME OF OUR OFFICE VACANCY.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS NEXT PIECE HERE, THE NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY INCENTIVE TOOLKIT, OUR COUNCIL TOOK A VERY STRATEGIC AND REALLY CREATIVE APPROACH TO OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THIS PAST NINE MONTHS.

SO WE HAVE WORKING WITH COUNCIL TO REALLY REVAMP WHAT WE DO HERE IN THE CITY OF PLANO IN TERMS OF OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS, OUR APPROACHES, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF

[01:30:05]

THOSE OFFICE SPACES LACK SOME OF THOSE AMENITIES AND THE EXPERIENCES THAT NOW EMPLOYEES ARE BEING DRIVEN TO.

YOU'RE SEEING ALL ACROSS THE REAL ESTATE WORLD WHAT LEASES REALLY QUICKLY RIGHT NOW IN OFFICE IS NEW PRODUCTS.

THOSE NEW PRODUCTS HAVE PICKLEBALL COURTS.

THEY HAVE GOLF SIMULATORS.

THEY HAVE DOG DAYCARES.

EVERY BUILDING I GO TO HAS A NEW AMENITY, AND IT'S KIND OF THE ONE UP OF WHO'S GOING TO HAVE THE NEXT NEW AMENITIES.

WE KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING WE GOTTA WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE OUR REAL ESTATE STAYS COMPETITIVE AS WE MOVE INTO THIS NEXT, ERA OF OFFICE.

AND SO OUR COUNCIL REALLY TOOK A STRATEGIC APPROACH AND SAID, HOW DO WE BE A PARTNER IN SOME OF THESE LARGE REDEVELOPMENTS OF CORPORATE CAMPUSES? AND I'LL SHOW YOU, I'LL HAVE A SLIDE HERE THAT HAS ACTUALLY TWO OF THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE GOING UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW TO BRING THOSE AMENITIES THAT WE KNOW ARE GOING TO BE IN HIGH DEMAND FOR THOSE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

WE'VE LAUNCHED A LOT OF NEW MARKETING PROGRAMS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID THIS LAST YEAR WAS START LOOKING AT WHAT COMPANIES WE HAVE IN PLANO, WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN PLANO AND HOW DO WE SUPPORT THEM AND PROMOTE THEM? AND SO WE'VE LAUNCHED A LOT OF NEW PROGRAMS THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA EFFORTS TO REALLY PROMOTE WHAT IS GOING ON, WHAT'S BEING BUILT HERE, AND HOW DO WE SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE HERE TODAY AND THE COMPANIES THAT HAVE MADE INVESTMENTS HERE FOR IF YOU'RE FRITO-LAY, PEPSICO, 40 YEARS REAL ESTATE ENGAGEMENT.

SO THE REAL ESTATE HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY SINCE THE PANDEMIC.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU KNEW IN TERMS OF OFFICE LEASING, PRE PANDEMIC IS COMPLETELY UPSIDE DOWN POST PANDEMIC.

OUR NEW TOOLKIT HAS REALLY HELPED US STAY STAY AHEAD OF THAT GAME.

I KNOW I TOLD OUR CITY MANAGER AND OUR MAYOR WE HAD OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES NOW COME TO US AND SAY WHAT YOU DID.

NOW. NOW WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

AND SO IT PUT US TWO STEPS AHEAD OF OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES IN WHAT WE'RE DOING AND HOW CREATIVE WE'RE BEING ON SOME OF THESE, THESE REAL ESTATE DEALS.

OUR BUSINESS RETENTION EXPANSION PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID IN MAYOR MUNS IS A GREAT INITIATIVE TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REACHING OUT TO THESE EXISTING COMPANIES TODAY.

SO WE HAVE REALLY FROM FROM THE TIME I'VE STARTED BACK HERE IN PLANO, A YEAR AND A HALF AGO TO TODAY, HAVE MADE AN EFFORT TO TRY TO HIT EVERY LARGE COMPANY IN LEADERSHIP ALL ACROSS THE CITY OF PLANO.

WE'RE CONTINUING TO DO THAT.

WE'RE MAKING SURE NOW THAT WE HAVE GOOD UPDATED CONTACTS.

I WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH YOUR CTE TEAM AND YOUR, FOUNDATION GROUP TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE GREAT CONNECTIONS TO THE PLANO ISD.

AND ONE OF THE EFFORTS WE'RE DOING IS JUST MAKING SURE AS THE PANDEMIC HAS HIT, YOU'VE HAD RETIREMENTS HAPPEN, YOU'VE HAD CHANGE OF LEADERSHIP HAPPEN.

WE HAVE TO GET REENGAGED WITH THOSE NEW COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THOSE COMPANIES, AND WE'RE TAKING THAT STEP RIGHT NOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS ARE INTACT AND CAN BE BENEFICIAL TO BOTH THE CITY OF PLANO AND FOR OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OUR INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM.

YOU PROBABLY SAW THIS PAST YEAR, WE MADE OUR OUR ANNUAL TRIP OR BIENNIAL TRIP TO TO JAPAN.

WE ACTUALLY THIS NEXT TIME THIS LAST YEAR ACTUALLY MADE ANOTHER LEG TO THAT TO KOREA.

WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES COMING INTO THE CITY OF PLANO, BE FROM OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY, PARTICULARLY IN ASIA.

BUT NOW WE'VE NOW HOSTED TWO DELEGATIONS FROM BRAZIL.

SO WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THE BUILD AMERICA BUY AMERICA ACT IS REALLY ACTUALLY LEADING A LOT OF THESE COMPANIES TO COME AND LOOK IN PLANO, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE GREAT SCHOOLS, DIVERSE POPULATION AND AN ESTABLISHED ECONOMIC BASE OF JOBS AND WORKFORCE.

SO, AS I MENTIONED BACK, EVERYTHING WE GO BACK TO IS OUR WORKFORCE, OUR TALENT, OUR SCHOOLS.

AND THAT DRIVES ALL THE ALL THE ACTIVITY WE'RE SEEING HERE TODAY.

THIS QUICKLY JUST SHOWS YOU A SLIDE OF SOME OF THE THE NEW PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN DELIVERED THIS LAST YEAR, WHAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND SOME MODERNIZATION PROJECTS THAT THIS FIRST DELIVERED ABOUT 146 MILLION DELIVERED IN TERMS OF NEW CONSTRUCTION VALUE.

I KNOW OUR CITY COUNCIL LOVES TO HEAR THAT, GRANITE PARK SIX WAS DELIVERED, THAT THAT PROJECT THE THE NEWEST GRANITE PARK TOWER.

THEY HAVE NOW SUBLEASE OR LEASED THE TOP TWO FLOORS.

THEY'RE VERY ACTIVE IN A NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT WE'RE ALSO ACTIVE IN WITH THEM.

THAT PROJECT IS IS A REALLY HIGH END CLASS AA PROJECT.

THAT'S A GREAT ASSET FOR THE GRANITE PARK BUSINESS PARK.

WE HAD ANOTHER PROJECT, THE BILLINGSLEY PROJECT IN THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK BE DELIVERED.

SPRING CREEK PARKWAY, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ANOTHER SLIDE ON THIS ASSEMBLY PARK.

THIS IS THE, ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE FORMER PLANO SQUARE MALL.

WITH THAT REUSE CAME 180,000FT² OF OFFICE SPACE.

I BELIEVE NOW, TODAY, THEY MAY HAVE SIGNED THEIR FIRST LEASE ON A COMMERCIAL OFFICE SINCE COMING IN THERE.

THAT'S GOING TO GAIN MOMENTUM.

WE JUST NEED TO GET THE FIRST ONE IN THERE, AND THEN WE'LL START GETTING MOMENTUM ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN, ESPECIALLY IN THAT AREA THAT MADE US SUCH A UNIQUE INVESTMENT FOR, THAT ADAPTIVE USE PROJECT.

BELLEVUE DRIVE, THESE PROJECTS HERE ON ON 121 COMMERCE CENTER.

THIS IS THE FOURTH ONE.

YOU'LL SEE THERE'S ANOTHER ONE IN THE CONSTRUCTION.

THESE BUILDINGS HAVE 5 TO 10,000FT² OFFICE SPACE.

[01:35:03]

IT'S GREAT BECAUSE THEY ARE FULLY LEASED.

THE FIRST THREE BUILDINGS, THIS IS THE FOURTH ONE JUST CAME ON THAT'S DELIVERED ANOTHER ONE IN CONSTRUCTION.

THESE PROPERTIES, THESE BUILDINGS ARE LEASING VERY NICELY, BECAUSE OF THE SMALL SIZE OF THOSE SPACES.

AND THEN RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY CROSSROADS, THIS IS OUR, OUR RESEARCH, OUR INDUSTRIAL FLEX SPACE, 300,000FT².

THAT WAS DELIVERED THIS YEAR, ALL OF ITS LEASED, INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING.

OUR RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY CROSSROADS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE HOTTEST TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION DISTRICTS IN THE REGION.

WE CANNOT BUILD THAT PRODUCT FAST ENOUGH FOR WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE, OF OF NEW MANUFACTURING AND AND ASSEMBLY TYPE OF JOBS.

SO, THAT HAS BEEN A GREAT, GREAT DELIVERY.

NEW CONSTRUCTION, WE HAVE, THE RYAN TOWER, WHICH YOU NOW HAVE PROBABLY SEEN IT TOPPED OUT.

RYAN IS LEASING HALF OF THAT BUILDING.

RYAN WITH WITH RYAN COMES 4000 EMPLOYEES.

SO THAT IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT.

I HAVE ACTUALLY NOT BEEN ABLE TO BRIEF, CITY MANAGER TODAY, BUT I BELIEVE NOW TWO ADDITIONAL FLOORS HAVE BEEN LEASED AT RYAN.

SO RYAN IS DOING REALLY WELL IN TERMS OF THE LEASING AND PRE-LEASING OF THAT BUILDING.

NEW PROPERTY ON DALLAS PARKWAY.

YOU'VE SEEN A CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS NEAR CINEMARK, AND THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

THE SECOND PHASE OF THAT IS COMING IN, PICKLEBALL COURTS COMING IN BETWEEN THOSE.

SO SOME AMENITIES COMING IN WITH THAT.

BUT THAT IS, A PROJECT THAT WILL MOST LIKELY LEASE VERY QUICKLY.

AND THEN BELLEVUE DRIVE AGAIN, ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE SMALLER KIND OF MICRO OFFICE, PRODUCTS BEING DELIVERED.

AND IN OFFICE MODERNIZATION PROJECTS, THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT OUR COUNCIL AND WE'VE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME PARTICIPATION WITH, TO START BRINGING SOME OF THOSE AMENITIES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE CUT DURING SOME OF THOSE VALLEY ENGINEERING EXERCISES.

5600 HEADQUARTERS DRIVE, THIS IS A FORMER, PEPSICO BUILDING.

PEPSICO HAS HAS RELOCATED INTO FRITO-LAY'S CAMPUS.

IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE, THEY HAVE NOW REBRANDED.

IT IS NOW PEPSICO CAMPUS, WITH PART OF FRITO-LAY AS WELL AS, OATS, THAT QUAKER OATS, THANK YOU.

ALSO, BEING THAT WITH THAT BILLING AS WELL.

SO, THAT BUILDING HAS NOW COME UP FOR, MODERNIZATION.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVE TENANTS LOOKING AT THAT PROJECT.

AND AGAIN, PICKLEBALL IS COMING INTO THAT PROJECT AS WELL.

AND THEN ALSO ELEVAR, THIS IS THE FORMER SMU CAMPUS.

SO IF YOU DRIVE BY ELEVAR, THEY ARE NOW, REDOING THIS CAMPUS, ANY CAMPUS, ANY BUILDING THAT HAS BEEN TOUCHED BY A ROSS PEROT HAS MORE POWER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

AND THOSE LEND ITSELF TO GREAT LIFE SCIENCES AND BIOTECH SPACES.

AND SO THAT'S ONE THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY TARGETING FOR LIFE SCIENCES, BIOTECH.

THERE'S FOUR DIFFERENT BUILDINGS ON THAT CAMPUS.

IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY NEAT PROPERTY, PROJECT VERY RESEMBLE VERY MUCH LIKE LEGACY CENTRAL ALONG 75.

SPECIAL PROJECTS. SO, PETER [INAUDIBLE] HERE, HE'S OUR DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL PROJECTS.

SO THIS FALLS OUT OF MY REALM, BUT ALSO FALLS WITHIN OUR REALM.

MY TEAM AND SPECIAL PROJECTS TEAM WORKS VERY CLOSELY ON A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE A LOT OF HAND HOLDING.

ARE VERY COMPLICATED, HAVE A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT ASPECTS OR NEW DEVELOPMENT ASPECTS AND NEED THAT SPECIAL TOUCH OR THAT SPECIAL HAND HOLDING TO GET THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS FROM START TO THE END.

SO THAT'S THESE ARE PETER'S REALLY KIND OF PET PROJECTS.

ASSEMBLY PARK I MENTIONED BEFORE, LAVON FARMS, THIS WILL BE OUR LAST REMAINING, MAJOR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, AS ZONING APPLICATIONS FIGHT ON THAT SO THAT YOU'LL BE SEEING, COME THROUGH THE PROCESS.

DOWNTOWN PLANO IS UNDER PETER'S PURVIEW.

HE HAS A MANAGER WHO MANAGES A LOT OF OUR DOWNTOWN PLANO ACTIVITIES AND MARKETING AND PROGRAMING, COLLIN CREEK, YOU ALL KNOW VERY WELL, ANOTHER PROJECT, BEACON SQUARE, BILLINGSLEY PROJECT ALONG COIT THAT HAS BROKE GROUND LAST YEAR WITH THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT AND SOME RETAIL COMPONENT COMING IN.

THERE'S OFFICE AND ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL AND KIND OF NEXT PHASES OF THOSE PROJECTS.

WILLOWBEND, I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL AWARE OF THAT AS WELL.

GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, THE ALMANAC, WHICH IS THE HAGGARD FARM, WEST SIDE OF IT, YOU'LL START SEEING SOME ACTIVITY OCCURRING ON THAT PROPERTY.

EDS CAMPUS.

I'M SURE YOU ALL ARE VERY WELL AWARE OF THIS.

WE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN WALKING REALLY HAND IN HAND WITH YOU ALL AND YOUR LEADERSHIP HERE, TO TO LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES FOR US FOR SUPPORT FOR THE EDS CAMPUS AND THE LIFE SCIENCES BIOTECH HUB THAT THAT IS BEING POSITIONED FOR, SO WE SEE A LOT OF GREAT ENERGY, A LOT OF GREAT EXCITEMENT WITH THAT.

BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE DO, IS IN LOCKSTEP WITH THE PLANO ISD AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP ON THAT.

AND IT PARKS AT LEGACY, WE KNOW AS OF TUESDAY, OR LAST TUESDAY, THEY SUBMITTED THEIR ZONING APPLICATIONS.

THIS IS THE FORMER JCPENNEY CAMPUS.

SO THAT WILL BE GOING THROUGH A PROCESS AS WELL.

BUT THESE ARE VERY LARGE REDEVELOPMENT OR NEW DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

THEY FALL UNDER PETER'S PURVIEW OF SPECIAL PROJECTS.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF WHERE THEY'RE TAKING PLACE, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL AROUND THE CITY.

AND LOOKING AHEAD, AS WELL AS, PETER'S TEAM AND OUR TEAM WORKING ON A RETAIL REVITALIZATION TOOLKIT.

SO YOU PROBABLY HAVE SEEN THE NEWS RECENTLY.

WE'VE BRIEFED COUNCIL AND HAD TWO DIFFERENT WORK SESSIONS ON RETAIL.

WE'VE DONE KIND OF THE OFFICE MODERNIZATION PIECE.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT ON THE RETAIL COMPONENT OF IT IN OUR FOUR CORNER RETAIL SIDE.

[01:40:01]

THAT IS, GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR FIRST PILOT PROJECTS MOVING DOWN THIS, THIS PIPELINE.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO KIND OF SEE THIS TOOLKIT AND SEE HOW WE CAN WORK ON IT.

WE NEED TO WAIT. MAKE SURE THE RESOLUTION AND ALL THE STUFF GETS PASSED AT CITY COUNCIL.

BUT WE DO HAVE A PROJECT IN THE PIPELINE THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY GREAT FOR US TO KIND OF SEE HOW THIS NEW PROGRAM WILL WORK.

WE'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK ON SEDIMENT SURVEYS AND WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS.

WE'VE COME OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC, WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF CHANGES IN WORKFORCE.

WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW COMPANIES NOW THAT ARE COMING IN NOW CHANGING, GOING BACK TO 2 TO 3 DAYS OF THE WORK WEEK.

SO NOW WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THESE PROPERTY OWNERS AND SAY, WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM THE CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL IN THE NEXT 10 TO 15 YEARS? THIS WILL LEAD TO A MUCH LARGER EFFORT OF LOOKING AT THE LEGACY BUSINESS PARK AS A WHOLE, AND WHERE WE WANT TO POSITION LEGACY BUSINESS PARK IN THE NEXT 10 TO 15 YEARS IN TERMS OF KEEPING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF IT.

BUT OUR FIRST STEP REALLY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE VOICES OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE MADE SUCH A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY OF BUILDING AND BRINGING THESE THESE JOBS TO OUR COMMUNITY.

NEW ATTRACTION ACT EFFORTS.

WE'VE LAUNCHED A NEW ATTRACT TALENT, ATTRACTION, INITIATIVE, WITH OUR 15 LARGEST COMPANIES WORKING WITH THEIR TALENT, RECRUITMENT INITIATIVES, THEIR HR DEPARTMENTS, TO SEE WHAT ARE THEIR NEEDS, WHAT ARE THEY SEEING? WHERE ARE THEY SEEING GAPS IN TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT? WE ALSO TAKE THAT AND FUNNEL IT TO YOUR CTE PROGRAM AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE SEEING THIS GAP COMING FROM OUR COMPANIES.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S IT'S DOWN AT THE PLANO ISD PIPELINE.

AS I'VE MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, I WANT TO BUILD THE BENCH THAT WE HAVE IN TERMS OF WORKFORCE, AND IT STARTS AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE HEARING AT THE, AT THE CORPORATE LEVEL IS EASILY TRANSFERABLE TO WHAT WE'RE SEEING DOWN AT CTE OR OTHER PROGRAMS THAT PLANO ISD IS LAUNCHING. CORPORATE RECRUIT RETENTION VISITS WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY FOR MOVING FORWARD.

A LOT OF EXPANSION OF OUR PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES REGARDING SMALL TO MEDIUM COMPANIES AND ENTERPRISES.

WE'LL BE LOOKING AT ACTUALLY EXPANDING SOME OF OUR STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADEQUATELY CAN STAFF THE NEW PROGRAMS, THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LAUNCHING A LOT OF GROUNDWORK TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS AND WHAT WE'RE DOING AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, AS RESOURCES ARE, AS INVESTMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY, ARE IN LINE WITH THE CITY COUNCIL'S GOALS AND TACTICS AND MAKING SURE WE'RE PROVIDING MEASURABLE OUTCOMES FOR OUR COUNCIL.

SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF WORK KIND OF THE NEXT YEAR OF MEETING WITH COMPANIES, MEETING WITH BROKERS, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE HAVE A GOOD PULSE ON WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE REAL ESTATE SIDE. PISD COLLIN COLLEGE ENGAGEMENT I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

I'M MAKING SURE THAT OUR OFFICE IS WELL CONNECTED TO WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE ISD AND COLLIN COLLEGE LEVEL, AND A LOT OF ASSISTANCE I MENTIONED WITH TERMS OF NEW INTERNATIONAL MARKETS AND VALUATION OF WHERE WE NEED TO SPEND SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND TIME TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE GREAT, STRONG PIPELINES MOVING FORWARD.

AND WITH THAT, I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WELL, FASCINATING TO WATCH.

THE COLLIN CREEK REDEVELOPMENT IS A LITTLE BIT GOING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY THAN I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED.

AND A LOT OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE IS STILL REMAINING.

AND SO I WAS CURIOUS IF ANY OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE WILL IS PART OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, OR IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF SPECIAL DEMO CONSIDERATION THAT'S GOING ON AS TO WHY THERE'S STILL SO MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE THERE.

PETER BREWSTER, THE DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL PROJECTS, HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

SURE. SO IF YOU THE OLD IF YOU LOOKED AT AN AERIAL VIEW, THE OLD COLLIN CREEK MALL WAS LIKE SHAPED LIKE A DOG BONE.

AND SO WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THEY'VE KNOCKED OFF ALL THE BIG BOXES AND HAVE JUST KEPT THE CENTRAL CORRIDOR.

AND SO THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT TWO LEVELS OF THAT CENTRAL CORRIDOR.

THE INTERESTING THING OF THE WAY THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS LAYING OUT THE SECOND LEVEL WILL BECOME GROUND LEVEL.

SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH IT.

IT'LL BE MOSTLY AIR CONDITIONED.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE, WHAT WE CALL A RETAIL, A HIGH STREET.

AND THAT HIGH STREET WILL BE INDOORS AND AIR CONDITIONED WITH SOME OUTDOOR COVERED SPACES AND TWO PARKS.

SO IT'LL BE REALLY KIND OF A MODERN RETAIL SETTING, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT'S DRIVING THE MARKETPLACE NOW.

THE DIRECTION MALLS ARE GOING IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO SURVIVE, IS THE WAY COLLIN CREEK IS BEING SET UP.

SO YES, THE ANSWER IS YES.

AND WE'VE ACTUALLY KEPT ONE OF THE OLD ARCHED ENTRYWAYS.

IT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE THE WEST SIDE PARK, SORT OF CENTERPIECE.

WE ALREADY FORGOT.

THOSE ARE THE NAMES OF THE TWO PARKS AT COLLIN CREEK MALL.

THERE'LL BE A PARK ON THE EAST SIDE AND PARK ON THE WEST SIDE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, MAYOR PRO TEM AND I HAVE ALREADY FORGOTTEN WHAT WE NAMED IT.

SO. WE HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN SOMEWHERE.

[01:45:01]

ANY OTHER? ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? WELL, ALRIGHT.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE NOW AT, THE ADJOURNMENT PORTION OF THE MEETING.

I JUST WANT TO SAY WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THIS WONDERFUL COLLABORATION THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CITY CONTINUE TO HAVE, AND THAT COLLABORATION WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND HELPING BUILD THAT PIPELINE, THAT TALENT PIPELINE.

WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE OF THAT COGNIZANCE THAT THE CITY HAS ABOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
