[G.1. 24-269 Presentation and discussion concerning the 2024 Westlake Academy student performance on the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP) assessments. (Dr. James Owen, High School Principal and Mr. Brandon Llewellyn, DP Coordinator)]

NEXT IS PRESENTATION ITEM G ON THE AGENDA PRESENTATION TO DISCUSS CONCERNING 2024 WESTLAKE ACADEMY STUDENT PERFORMANCE ON THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE, IB AND ADVANCED PLACEMENT.

AP ASSESSMENT DOCTOR OWENS AND MR. LLEWELLYN. HOW ARE Y'ALL? GOOD. THANK YOU. WELCOME.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND THE BOARD.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO JUST DO A BRIEF INTRO JUST TO EXPLAIN HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THE PRESENTATIONS.

MR. WHELAN WILL GO THROUGH THE IB EXAMS AND THEN I'LL GO THROUGH THE AP EXAMS. OUR PRESENTATION REFLECTS THE PACKET THAT BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVED.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO FOCUS ON THE SUCCESSES, THE AREAS FOR GROWTH AND THE ACTION STEPS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE TO ADDRESS THOSE AREAS OF GROWTH.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE APPENDICES, BUT IF ANY BOARD MEMBER HAS A SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT ANY SUBJECT, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO GO TO THAT SPECIFIC PAGE AND TALK THROUGH IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US THIS EVENING.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO PRESENT TO YOU THE RESULTS FOR THE EXAMS FOR THE CLASS OF 2024.

THE IB EXAMS. THERE'S A LOT TO CELEBRATE HERE.

SO FIRST, A COUPLE OF POINTS.

JUST FOR CONTEXT. WESTLAKE ACADEMY IS NOT THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER IB SCHOOL OUT THERE.

WESTLAKE ACADEMY IS AN IB FOR ALL SCHOOL, AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WE EXTEND THE BENEFITS OF THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM AND THE OTHER PROGRAMS IN IB TO ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ACADEMIC BACKGROUNDS.

OTHER SCHOOLS AGAINST WHICH WE ARE COMPARED IN THE DATA ARE MORE HIGHLY SELECTIVE SCHOOLS.

MANY OF THEM.

YOU SEE A LOT OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS THAT ARE ACCEPTING BASED ON BASED ON MERIT, AND YOU SEE A LOT OF LARGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT WILL HAVE A DIPLOMA PROGRAM, BUT ONLY A SMALL FRACTION OF THE GRADUATING CLASS WILL TAKE THOSE DIPLOMA COURSES.

AND IT TENDS TO BE THE HIGHEST ACHIEVERS OF THOSE GRADUATING CLASSES.

SO THIS IS HOW THE IB EXAMS WORK.

EVERY IB DIPLOMA CANDIDATE TAKES EXAMS AND SUBMITS COURSEWORK FOR SIX SUBJECTS, AND THEY ALSO COMPLETE A THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE COURSE AS WELL AS WRITING AN EXTENDED ESSAY.

THE IB DIPLOMA.

WE TELL OUR STUDENTS ONCE THEY GET INTO THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THEY ARE IN COLLEGE.

THAT'S HOW WE WANT THEM TO TREAT IT.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE. SO THE IB DIPLOMA IS VERY RIGOROUS.

EARNING THE IB DIPLOMA IS NOT THE SAME AS EARNING A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.

IT IS MUCH, MUCH HARDER.

AND IT REQUIRES YOU TO AVERAGE A PASSING GRADE OF A FOUR ACROSS ALL OF YOUR SIX IB SUBJECTS THAT YOU'RE TAKING, AND ALL EACH ONE OF THOSE IS GOING TO BE GRADED OUT OF A MAXIMUM OF SEVEN POINTS.

AND YOU'RE ALSO GETTING UP TO THREE CORE POINTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE ON THE TOK COURSE, AS WELL AS ON THE EXTENDED ESSAY.

24 POINTS ARE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO EARN THE IB DIPLOMA.

SO HOW DID WE DO THIS YEAR, 47 OUT OF 62 STUDENTS EARNED THEIR IB DIPLOMA, WHICH IS 76% OF THE GRADUATING CLASS.

THE GLOBAL AVERAGE WAS 80%.

THE US NATIONAL AVERAGE WAS 65%, WHICH WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE, AND THE TEXAS STATE AVERAGE WAS 54%, WHICH AGAIN, WE ARE EVEN FURTHER AHEAD OF THAT RATE.

[00:15:01]

AS I SAID, WE HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE THIS YEAR.

THESE WERE SOME OF OUR SUCCESSES.

WE HAD MORE HIGH ACHIEVING STUDENTS THIS YEAR COMPARED TO LAST YEAR AND COMPARED WITH MOST YEARS, WITH OVER 25% OF EVERY EXAM TAKEN EARNED EITHER A SIX OR A SEVEN.

THIS IS THE SECOND BEST RESULT WE'VE EVER HAD.

THE AVERAGE SCORE IN 15 OUT OF 20 DP SUBJECTS THAT WE OFFER AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY WAS AS HIGH OR HIGHER THIS YEAR THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR, SO WE ARE SEEING GROWTH.

HL ENGLISH AND HL HISTORY ARE STAPLES OF WESTLAKE ACADEMIES.

DP AND WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE RESULTS THAT THEY RECEIVE EVERY YEAR, AND THIS YEAR WAS NO EXCEPTION.

THEY WERE VERY STRONG AGAIN THIS YEAR.

WE ARE VERY STRONG IN MATH AND SCIENCE AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

THE MATHEMATICS COURSES CONTINUE TO EXCEL.

ALL OF OUR MATHEMATICS COURSES WERE ABOVE THE GLOBAL AVERAGE.

CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS WERE SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE GLOBAL AVERAGE.

BIOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE WERE APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO THE GLOBAL AVERAGE THIS YEAR, BUT THAT MARKS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER PREVIOUS YEARS IN THOSE COURSES. AND LASTLY, AB INITIO SPANISH AND FRENCH EARNED THE BEST RESULTS THAT WE'VE HAD FOR AT LEAST GOING BACK FIVE YEARS.

THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH IN THE DATA AS WELL.

76% OF STUDENTS EARNING THEIR IB DIPLOMA IS LOWER THAN THE GLOBAL AVERAGE.

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE BEEN BELOW THE GLOBAL AVERAGE, AND THAT IS GENERALLY OUR GOAL IS TO IS TO MATCH OR EXCEED THAT BOUNDARY.

I WAS ABLE TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THE TEACHERS REGARDING WHERE OUR STUDENTS WERE AT IN JANUARY OF LAST YEAR, OF THIS YEAR, LEADING UP TO THE IB EXAMS, SO THAT I COULD KIND OF TELL WHERE OUR STUDENTS WERE AT.

BASED ON THAT FEEDBACK I GATHERED FROM TEACHERS, I IDENTIFIED 20 STUDENTS THAT WERE CONSIDERED AT RISK OF NOT EARNING THEIR DIPLOMA, AND I WANTED TO GAIN SOME INSIGHT INTO THESE STUDENTS AND KIND OF LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THEM AND ABOUT THEIR STRUGGLES, SO THAT WE COULD HELP TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE THINGS IN THE FUTURE.

HL BIOLOGY AND HL ECONOMICS, BOTH OF THESE COURSES SHOWED GROWTH FROM THE PREVIOUS YEARS.

SO WE ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING WITH THOSE SUBJECTS.

BUT THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR GROWTH.

THEY ARE HIGHER LEVEL COURSES AND IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE PASSING THEIR HIGHER LEVEL COURSES IN ORDER TO GET THOSE IB DIPLOMAS. AND BOTH OF THOSE COURSES STILL HAD BELOW IN 80% PASS RATE ON THIS GRADUATING CLASS.

AND LASTLY, THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXTENDED ESSAY, THE CORE PART OF THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM.

WE DID NOT HAVE ANY STUDENT THIS YEAR THAT EARNED ALL THREE CORE POINTS.

WE DID HAVE A LOT THAT EARNED TWO OUT OF THREE CORE POINTS, BUT EVEN WITH AS MANY AS WE HAD THIS YEAR, WE WERE STILL BELOW THE GLOBAL AVERAGE IN THOSE PARTS OF THE DIPLOMA.

SO THIS BASED ON THE DATA, IS OUR ACTION PLAN.

LAST YEAR WE REALLY WANTED TO TO SEE SOME GROWTH ON THE ON THE HIGHER ACHIEVING LEVELS OF OUR EXAMS. AND WE DID SEE THAT THIS YEAR.

THIS YEAR, OUR GOALS ARE SPECIFICALLY TO ADDRESS THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT EARNING THE DIPLOMA.

HOW CAN WE INCREASE THAT PERCENTAGE? SO THE FIRST ACTION ITEM IS TO WORK WITH TEACHERS TO SET GOALS TO HELP US RE-INVITE DISENGAGED STUDENTS BACK INTO THE LEARNING.

AND ALONG WITH THAT, TO DIFFERENTIATE THE INSTRUCTION FOR THE VARIOUS NEEDS OF THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF LEARNER THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CLASSROOMS. WE ALSO HAVE NEW TEACHERS IN TLK, AND WE ALSO HAVE A NEW EXTENDED ESSAY COORDINATOR, AND WE WOULD SEEK IB WORKSHOPS FOR THOSE TEACHERS AS WELL, TO GIVE THOSE TEACHERS THE TRAINING THEY NEED TO HELP BRING THE CORE TO THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM AND REALLY HOPEFULLY IMPROVE OUR RESULTS IN THOSE WAYS.

WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THIS ONE.

THE SECONDARY TEACHERS ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE EXAM DATA AND SET GOALS FOR THEMSELVES INDIVIDUALLY, BUT ALSO MEET WITHIN THEIR DEPARTMENTS AND SET GOALS WITH THE OTHER TEACHERS IN THE DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THE RESULTS ON THE IB EXAMS ARE NOT JUST TIED TO THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM, THEY'RE ALSO TIED TO ALL OF THE WORK THAT THEY DO LEADING UP TO THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

AND WE WANT TO INVOLVE ALL OF THE TEACHERS WITHIN A DEPARTMENT AND MAKE SURE OUR CURRICULA ARE ALIGNED VERTICALLY.

WE WANT TO HELP STUDENTS SELECT COURSES IN WHICH THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL, AND WE WANT TO PROVIDE INFORMATION INTERVENTION AS NEEDED FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO MIGHT BE AT RISK.

AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THESE STUDENTS SOONER, SO THAT I CAN START TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM AND HELP THEM REGAIN SOME OF THAT

[00:20:07]

CONFIDENCE THAT MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE.

OKAY. AND AS DR.

OWEN INDICATED, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE INDIVIDUAL POINTS OF DATA IN THE APPENDIX UNLESS THERE ARE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT ADDRESS ANY OF THOSE.

I WILL SHOW YOU OUR HISTOGRAM OF SCORES THAT WE HAD HERE.

NOW THAT'S NOT SHOWING UP.

AND THIS TELLS YOU THE SCORES THAT EVERY ONE OF OUR STUDENTS EARNED.

THIS YEAR. YOU CAN SEE 24 POINTS WAS REQUIRED TO PASS.

AND WE DID HAVE A SIGNIFICANT POPULATION OF STUDENTS THAT WERE REALLY CLOSE TO THAT BOUNDARY THAT ARE ON 22 OR 23 POINTS.

COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS HISTOGRAMS, WE SEE A LOT MORE STUDENTS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, TAIL SPREAD OUT ACROSS THAT UPPER 30S AND EVEN LOWER 40S THAT WE DID EARN THIS YEAR.

SO THAT EXPLAINS HOW IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WE HAD FEWER STUDENTS EARNING THE DIPLOMA.

AND YET WE SAW SUCH TREMENDOUS SUCCESS WITHIN THE SUBJECT AVERAGES THEMSELVES, BECAUSE OUR DATA IS MORE SPREAD OUT THAN IT'S BEEN IN THE PAST.

AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR THE IB EXAMS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW, I DID WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR ACTION PLAN.

WHEN I CAME HERE ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO TO BRING MY KIDS TO THE SCHOOL.

WESTLAKE WAS KNOWN AS TREMENDOUSLY EXCEPTIONAL IN PUBLIC SPEAKING AND WRITING AND AP HISTORY IB HISTORY.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS I BROUGHT MY KIDS HERE, BUT WE WEREN'T AS WELL KNOWN FOR MATH AND SCIENCE.

AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT WE REALLY NEED TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE AROUND THE SCHOOL, BECAUSE OVER THE LAST 5 TO 7 YEARS, WE'VE REALLY RECRUITED SOME EXCEPTIONAL SCIENCE AND MATH TEACHERS, BOTH MATH, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, COMPUTER SCIENCE, PHYSICS.

GOLDEN BOY RIGHT THERE.

SO WE REALLY NEED TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE BECAUSE WE ARE EXCEPTIONAL IN SCIENCE AND MATH AND STEM AS WELL NOW.

AND I REALLY THINK THAT'S A MESSAGE THAT NEEDS TO GET OUT THERE.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR AREAS FOR GROWTH.

YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT COMMENT.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE.

WE PLACE A LOT OF STUDENTS INTO STEM PROGRAMS AT UNIVERSITIES.

WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE SUCCESS THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE HAVING IN THOSE PROGRAMS. AND I JUST WANT TO ECHO ANNA'S COMMENTS ON BEING ABLE TO DOCTOR OWENS, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR.

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING, KIND OF GET AN ACTION PLAN AND KIND OF WORK THROUGH THAT? THANKS FOR THE PLAN. YES, YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

THANK YOU. NOW THE AP PRESENTATION.

OKAY. I FIRST JUST WANT TO BEGIN BY GIVING THE RATIONALE FOR WHY WE DO AP EXAMS. BECAUSE WESTLAKE ACADEMY, WE ARE AN IB CONTINUUM SCHOOL.

IB IS OUR PRIORITY ALWAYS.

SO I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN WHY WE ALSO DO AP EXAMS, THE BENEFITS FOR THE STUDENTS, THE BENEFITS FOR THE SCHOOL AS WELL.

SO OUR VISION WESTLAKE ACADEMY INSPIRES COLLEGE BOUND STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL IN A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT THAT FOSTERS THE TRAITS FOUND IN THE IB LEARNER PROFILE.

SO GIVING STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE AP EXAMS AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

THIS IS PART OF STUDENTS ACHIEVING THEIR HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL.

IT GIVES THEM MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS AND WE BELIEVE AT WESTLAKE, THROUGH PROPER SUPPORT FOR OUR TEACHERS, WE CAN TEACH AP COURSES, BUT STILL THROUGH THE LENS OF THE IB, THE IB APPROACHES TO LEARNING, THE APPROACHES TO TEACHING THE LEARNER, THE IB LEARNER PROFILE AS WELL.

AND IN TAKING AP EXAMS, WE ARE FOSTERING ASSESSMENT CAPABLE LEARNERS, WHICH IS SO CRITICAL FOR SUCCESS ON THE IB EXAMS THAT OUR STUDENTS TAKE AT THE END OF THEIR SENIOR YEAR.

SO WAYS IN WHICH IT SUPPORTS THE SCHOOL'S SUCCESS BY TAKING AP EXAMS, WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE AP SCHOLARS WHO HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE COLLEGE BOARD AND GETTING FURTHER COLLEGE BOARD NATIONAL RECOGNITION.

IT MAKES OUR STUDENTS MORE COMPETITIVE IN THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS AS WELL.

IT'S A POWERFUL NARRATIVE WHERE NOT ONLY ARE STUDENTS UNDERTAKING THE RIGOR OF AN IB PROGRAM, BUT THEY'RE PUSHING THEMSELVES FURTHER BY TAKING AP EXAMS AS WELL. IT HIGHLIGHTS WHAT A FANTASTIC SCHOOL WE ARE AS WELL.

FOR EXAMPLE, EARLIER THIS YEAR WE WERE AWARDED PLATINUM STATUS BY THE COLLEGE BOARD FOR THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS AND THE SUCCESS OF THE STUDENTS ON THEIR AP EXAMS. ONLY 6% OF SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE WHO DO AP EXAMS WERE AWARDED PLATINUM STATUS, SO THAT WAS A HUGE PLUS FOR THE SCHOOL.

[00:25:06]

AND ALSO IT DOES RAISE OUR SCHOOL PROFILE AS WELL.

THE MORE THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF OUR GRADUATES WHO ARE TAKING THESE HIGH LEVEL EXAMS, IB, AP IT DOES CONTRIBUTE TO OUR NATIONAL RANKINGS.

HAD WE RECEIVED PLATINUM BEFORE? NO. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME.

YES. WELL DONE.

SO JUST TO LOOK IN JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT OUR OFFERINGS FOR AP EXAMS. WE HAD SOME NEW OFFERINGS THIS YEAR, WHICH IS WHY 494 AP EXAMS IS THE MOST THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE EVER TAKEN IN WESTLAKE HISTORY.

AND THERE IS A DISTINCTION TO BE MADE IN NINTH AND 10TH GRADE.

THE FIVE AP CLASSES THAT WE OFFER THERE ARE TAUGHT AS OFFICIAL AP CLASSES, SO THE FULL SYLLABUS IS FOLLOWED WHEN WE GET TO THE 11TH GRADE.

THE PRIORITY IS THE IB DIPLOMA AND NOTHING'S GOING TO CHANGE THAT.

BUT WHERE POSSIBLE, IF THERE IS ALIGNMENT IN THE CURRICULUM BETWEEN THE IB SYLLABUS AND THE AP SYLLABUS, OUR TEACHERS WILL TRY AND ALIGN THAT CONTENT AND SKILLS SO STUDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE AP EXAMS IF THEY WISH AND BE SUCCESSFUL AS WELL.

SO IN TERMS OF THE AREAS OF SUCCESS, BECAUSE WE'VE INTRODUCED MORE AP EXAMS THIS YEAR, AND ALSO BECAUSE OUR TEACHERS HAVE JUST DONE SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB OF PREPARING THE STUDENTS.

WE HAD A RECORD NUMBER OF AP SCHOLARS THIS YEAR, 92 THE PREVIOUS HIGH BEING 58.

SO TO BE AN AP SCHOLAR, YOU NEED TO BE TAKING AT LEAST THREE AP EXAMS AND AVERAGING A THREE OR ABOVE.

WE HAD 31 AP SCHOLARS WITH DISTINCTION.

ANOTHER RECORD, AP SCHOLARS WITH DISTINCTION, HAVE TAKEN AT LEAST FIVE AP EXAMS AND AVERAGING 3.5 OR ABOVE ACROSS THOSE FIVE EXAMS AS WELL. SO THAT IS VERY STRONG INDEED.

AND ALSO, WHILST WE'RE SEEING MORE STUDENTS TAKE MORE AP EXAMS, THEIR LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT HAS ALSO GONE UP AS WELL.

SO 77% OF THOSE 494 EXAMS TAKEN WERE AT A THREE OR ABOVE.

AP IS SCORED ON 1 TO 5 WITH FIVE BEING THE HIGHEST.

AGAIN, THIS WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN OUR PREVIOUS BEST IN TERMS OF HISTORIC TRENDS.

EIGHT OUT OF THE 11 AP SUBJECTS WHICH OUR STUDENTS TESTED IN OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS HAD THEIR HIGHEST AVERAGE STUDENT SCORE THIS YEAR, AND 11 OUT OF THE 15 AP SUBJECTS TESTED WERE ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AS WELL.

AND AGAIN, TO SPEAK TO DOCTOR WHITE'S POINT WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE DATA, PHYSICS IS STRONG, PRE-CALCULUS WAS STRONG, CHEMISTRY WAS STRONG.

AND OF COURSE, I HAVE TO MENTION THAT HISTORY WAS STRONG AS WELL.

AND ONE THING ALSO THAT I ESPECIALLY WANT TO POINT OUT IS AP, AP PRE-CALCULUS WAS A NEW COURSE THIS YEAR FOR US.

WE HAD 20 STUDENTS TAKE IT, 19 GOT THE MAXIMUM SCORE OF A FIVE.

SO OBVIOUSLY VERY HAPPY FOR SARAH THOMAS, WHO TAUGHT THAT COURSE FOR PREPARING OUR STUDENTS SO WELL.

THAT IS PHENOMENAL.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.

AGAIN, IT SPEAKS TO OUR STRENGTH IN MATH AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

THERE ARE STILL AREAS OF GROWTH THAT THINGS THAT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO WORK ON.

WE ARE STILL GROWING IN TERMS OF OUR STRENGTH IN AP BIOLOGY AND IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, AND THE SCORES WERE DEFINITELY MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

STILL A LITTLE BIT BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

AND IT REFLECTS THE GROWTH THAT WE'RE SEEING WITH OUR IP, IB BIO SCORES AS WELL.

MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, DEFINITELY, BUT STILL MORE ROOM FOR GROWTH.

WE ALSO HAD AND I'M VERY PROUD OF THIS.

WE HAD US GOVERNMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME AS AN AP CLASS AS WELL.

THIS IS JUST A ONE SEMESTER COURSE, SO STUDENTS EITHER TOOK IT IN THE FIRST SEMESTER OR THE SECOND SEMESTER.

SO THERE'S ROOM FOR GROWTH THERE, ESPECIALLY STUDENTS WHO TOOK IT IN THE FIRST SEMESTER AND THEN HAVE TO TAKE THE EXAM FOUR MONTHS LATER.

AND THEN FINALLY, WHAT WE ALSO ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE SURE IS THAT IB REMAINS OUR PRIORITY.

SO I THINK THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR GROWTH IN ENSURING THAT THE TEACHERS IN 11TH GRADE, WHEN THEY'RE HAVING TO TEACH IB CONTENT AND AP CONTENT AT THE SAME TIME, THEY'RE STILL GETTING THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S FULL FIDELITY TO THE IB.

SO IN TERMS OF THE ACTION PLAN, WE WANT TO STAY ON THIS TREND OF SUCCESS BEING ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IN AP EXAMS. SO JUST AS MR. LLEWELLYN WORKS WITH THE IB TEACHERS ON DATA ANALYSIS, WE BREAK DOWN THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF AN EXAM, SEE WHERE WE'RE STRONG, AND WE CAN REINFORCE THAT, SEE PARTICULAR CONTENT AREAS OF A SUBJECT THAT NEED MORE REFINEMENT.

I WILL MEET WITH THE AP TEACHERS AND WORK WITH THEM ON DATA ANALYSIS, AND WE'LL MAKE ROOM FOR SOME AP MOCK EXAMS AS WELL IN MARCH AND APRIL.

[00:30:07]

SO TEACHERS GET ONE FINAL DATA SET PRIOR TO THE EXAMS IN MAY, AND THEN FINALLY JUST ALSO AGAIN, JUST GIVING TEACHERS THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED.

SO EVEN WHEN ADDRESSING AP CONTENT AND AP SKILLS, THE FIDELITY IS STILL TO THE IB APPROACHES TO TEACHING AND LEARNING.

AND NO TEACHER EVER HAS TO FEEL THAT THEIR FIDELITY TO THE IB IS DIMINISHED BY TEACHING AP EXAMS. THIS IS ALL VERY MUCH IN KEEPING WITH THE VISION OF WESTLAKE ACADEMY OF HELPING STUDENTS REACH THEIR HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON AP, I'LL BE HAPPY.

ANY QUESTIONS? WELL DONE. THANK YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT FIRST SEMESTER.

WE'RE OFF TO A GOOD START. AND, DOCTOR OWENS, CAN I JUST SAY ONE THING ABOUT THE AP? YEAH. YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S OVER THE YEARS, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DEBATE WHETHER WE SHOULD CONTINUE TAKING AP AS WELL AS IB.

AND DOES IT DETRACT? IS IT TOO ONEROUS? AND I THINK THOSE ARE REALLY VALID CONCERNS.

SPEAKING JUST AS AN N OF ONE WITH TWO KIDS HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS.

I REALLY WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE PART OF YOUR PRESENTATION WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT ALIGNING THE IB AND THE AP CURRICULUM.

I THINK THE FEAR FOR PARENTS IS THAT YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD BY DOING BOTH.

BUT WHAT I'VE OBSERVED OVER THE YEARS IS YOUR STAFF, BOTH THE MYP AS WELL AS THE DP, IS TREMENDOUSLY SKILLED IN WORKING SMART AS WELL AS HARD.

I WOULD DARE SAY THAT SOME OF THE ISD STUDENTS WORK EVEN HARDER, BUT MAYBE NOT AS SMART.

SO. BUT I'M BIASED HERE AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

BUT YOU GUYS DO A TREMENDOUS JOB AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO THAT.

THANK YOU. AND WE'RE ALWAYS WARY OF, YOU KNOW, THE IB LEARNER PROFILE OF BALANCE IS IMPORTANT.

WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES.

SELF-CARE, WELL-BEING IS VERY IMPORTANT.

WE'RE ALWAYS VERY MINDFUL OF THAT AS WELL IN THE WORK THAT WE SET.

AND ALSO IN TERMS OF STRIKING THAT BALANCE.

THE DATA DOES SHOW THAT WHEN STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO CUMULATIVE EXAMS EARLIER ON, THEY FEEL MUCH MORE CONFIDENT WHEN THEY TAKE THEIR IB EXAMS, WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL IN TERMS OF GETTING THEIR DIPLOMA.

RIGHT. AND I JUST WANT TO ECHO AND WE'RE WORKING KIND OF ON AN ELEVATOR SPEECH FOR THE SCHOOL IN TOWN.

BUT WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT GO OFF TO COLLEGE AND THEY'RE ENTERING COLLEGE AT SOPHOMORES BECAUSE OF THE CREDITS THAT THEY'RE GETTING ON THE COLLEGE.

I MEAN, I DON'T THINK WE PUBLICIZE THAT ENOUGH.

I'M NOT SURE THAT ALL PARENTS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, UNDERSTOOD THAT ENOUGH UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO.

SO THAT IS REALLY, REALLY SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COST OF COLLEGE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT IT'S JUST PHENOMENAL.

THAT'S GOOD FEEDBACK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU ALL.

OKAY. AGENDA ITEM H THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[H. CONSENT AGENDA]

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO PULL OUT OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? SO MOVED. CAN I GET A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. I DO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT.

DIANA, WE ARE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

YOU ACCEPTED THE JOB.

YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND THE BEST PRACTICES AND THE INFLUENCE YOU'VE HAD OVER THIS COUNCIL SO FAR HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS.

SO WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

THANKS FOR. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.

I'D LIKE TO NOW GO TO AGENDA ITEM 1.1 PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[I.1. ORD-1001 Hold public hearing, discuss, consider and act to adopt Ordinance 1001 approving amendments to Ordinances 703 and 720, as amended (which includes the Development Plan for the PD1-2 [Westlake Entrada] zoning district). Amendments to the Development Plan, specifically Westlake Entrada Blocks B, K, L (Lots 1 and 2), P, Q, and Westlake/Southlake Park Addition No.1 Block 1, Lot 2R1, Tarrant County, Texas. The properties are generally located east of Davis Blvd., south of State Highway 114, and north of Solana Boulevard A. Staff Presentation/Applicant Presentation B. Hold Public Hearing C. Discuss and Consider D. Act]

1.1 HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS.

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER AN ACT TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1001, APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO ORDINANCE 7003 AND 720, AS AMENDED, WHICH INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE PD-PD-1-2, WESTLAKE ENTRADA ZONING DISTRICTS, AMENDMENTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, SPECIFICALLY WESTLAKE AND INTRADA BLOCKS B, K, L, LOTS ONE AND TWO, P, Q AND WESTLAKE.

SOUTH PARK ADDITION NUMBER ONE, BLOCK ONE, LOT 2R1 TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS.

THE PROPERTIES ARE GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF DAVIS BOULEVARD, SOUTH OF STATE HIGHWAY 114, AND NORTH OF THE SALON BOULEVARD.

WHAT ARE YOU TAKING THIS OR.

THAT'S A LOT. THAT IS.

AND THANK YOU FOR READING THAT, MAYOR.

YES, THAT'S A TOUGH. THERE'S A TEST LATER.

SO, HELEN BEADLE IS WITH US ONLINE, AND SHE'S OUR CONTRACTED PLANNER, AND SHE'S GOING TO TAKE US THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL.

MAY I HAVE THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE? ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO JUMP RIGHT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THE AMENDMENT BEFORE YOU HAS A AN EFFECT ON CERTAIN BLOCKS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN PLATTED WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE THE DEVELOPER APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A CHANGE TO THE A PARTICULAR USES ON THESE

[00:35:08]

BLOCKS. AND I THINK YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE CAP OF 322 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

AND FOR THE ENTRADA DEVELOPMENT, AND IN THESE LAND USE CATEGORIES, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO MIX USES AROUND MOVE THINGS.

AND THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT IS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE MARKET DEMANDS, AS WELL AS TO ATTRACT DEVELOPERS USERS TO THE DEVELOPMENT TO MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE ARE TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE A NUMBER OF PD AMENDMENTS WHERE BLOCKS HAD BEEN AMENDED INTO ONE COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THIS IS A SLIDE THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, AND IT IDENTIFIES THE CERTAIN BLOCKS THAT THE ZONING AMENDMENT IS LIMITED TO ITS BLOCK P, B, Q AND K.

AND NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT THE MOST RECENT ONE THAT WAS APPROVED.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND JUMP RIGHT INTO THE FIRST BLOCK WHICH IS BLOCK B ON THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

A HOTEL IS DEVELOPED DEVELOPING AND THAT USE WILL REMAIN.

AND THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FOR ANOTHER HOTEL AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THAT BLOCK.

AND SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED AND WITH A MAXIMUM OF 43 UNITS AND THE REMAINDER BEING THE COMMERCIAL MIXED USE, WITH RESIDENTIAL ON THE REMAINDER.

ON THE LEFT YOU HAVE THE PROPOSED AND ON THE RIGHT YOU HAVE THE EXISTING FOR COMPARISON.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

BLOCK K IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH.

AND THIS IS THE BLOCK THAT CONTAINS PLAZA MAYOR.

AND THIS AMENDMENT ON THE LEFT IDENTIFIES THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND THE GOLD COLOR.

THE GREEN IS PART OF THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE WITHIN THE ENTRADA DEVELOPMENT.

THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE COUNCIL RECONSIDER AT A LATER TIME.

THE ACTUAL CONFIGURATION OF THE OPEN SPACE, THE PLAZA MAYOR.

AND THERE'S THOUGHTS THAT THE WAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED, WITH THE WEST FACING SUN AND A LOT OF PLAZA AREA AND CONCRETE.

IT WOULDN'T BE INVITING WHEN IT'S SO HOT LIKE IT IS RIGHT NOW.

THE DEVELOPER HAS PROPOSED TO REDUCE THE DENSITY FROM 150 RESIDENTIAL UNITS TO 73 SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED CONDOMINIUM UNITS.

THE ANY OF THE CONDOMINIUM UNITS IN THIS PARTICULAR BLOCK WOULD REQUIRE AN SUP, AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT THE PLAZA MAYOR CONFIGURATION AND THE ACTUAL MATERIALS FOR THAT OPEN SPACE AREA WOULD BE DECIDED IN ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO ENTRADA.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THE NEXT ONE IS BLOCK P, WHICH YOU ALL SAW A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHERE THE TWO COMMERCIAL LOTS AT THE EAST AND THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE BLOCK.

WERE APPROVED.

SO THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT WILL ADDRESS THIS PARTICULAR LAYOUT FOR BLOCK P.

THE APPLICANT HAD TURNED IN SOME INFORMATION AND SLIDE THAT YOU SAW EARLIER, IDENTIFYING 32 RESIDENTIAL UNITS ON BLOCK P.

THE AMENDMENT THAT YOU ALL LOOKED AT EARLIER THIS YEAR LIMITED THAT BLOCK TO 18 UNITS.

AND IN YOUR PRNS OR IN YOUR PACKET THIS EVENING, THE DRAFT ORDINANCE ON I BELIEVE IT'S PAGE THREE, ITEM 3.A AND SPECIFICALLY TALKS TO REFERENCES THE NUMBER OF UNITS.

SO THERE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE APPLICANT TURNED IN AND WHAT PNC LOOKED AT AND WHAT STAFF WOULD BE RECOMMENDING. AT THIS POINT, WE'D PREFER TO JUST STICK WITH THE 18 UNITS AND ANY TYPE OF CONDOMINIUM UNITS IN THAT AREA WOULD REQUIRE

[00:40:01]

A SINGLE WOULD REQUIRE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO COME BEFORE YOU.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS THE PROPOSED.

THE PORTION ON THE RIGHT IS THE EXISTING.

AND AS YOU ALL MAY BE FAMILIAR, ORDINANCE 959 REMOVED ALL RESIDENTIAL USES FROM THIS PARTICULAR BLOCK.

PHASE TWO AND IT IS TO CONTAIN ALL SALES TAX GENERATING TYPE USES.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER COMPONENT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THE LAST BLOCK FITS IN THIS PARTICULAR AMENDMENT IS FOR THE WESTLAKE SOUTH LAKE PARK ADDITION BLOCK ONE LOT TWO R1 AND COUNCIL.

I BELIEVE IT WAS IN PROBABLY APRIL OR MAY THAT THIS PARTICULAR PORTION WAS ADDED INTO THE ENTRADA DEVELOPMENT, AND THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR THIS PARTICULAR TRACT WERE ESTABLISHED IN THAT ORDINANCE.

HOWEVER, THE ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING DOES AMEND THE LATEST ORDINANCE.

HOWEVER, ON PAGE LET'S SEE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS REFERENCED THAT THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS THAT DEVELOPMENT SETBACKS, AREA REGULATIONS THAT ALL OF THOSE ARE TO DEVELOP.

ACCORDING TO THE ENTRADA DESIGN GUIDELINES THAT WERE ESTABLISHED IN ORDINANCE 703.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. YES, SIR.

ON THE ON THE NOTATION THERE THAT THAT THE SECTION THAT'S ON THE SLIDES IS TO COMPLY WITH THE INTRADA STANDARDS.

I BELIEVE THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY VIEWED THAT AS A NULL STANDARD, NOT THE INTRADA STANDARD.

ARE WE REVERTING THAT? NO, NO, THAT WAS A MISINTERPRETATION.

SO WE'LL WE'LL ADD THAT AS A CONDITION FOR APPROVAL OF THIS PLAN IF YOU WANT TO APPROVE TONIGHT.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WE THANK YOU.

GOOD CATCH. SO JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M FOLLOWING SO THAT IT THIS PARTICULAR BLOCK WOULD COMPLY WITH THE INTRADA DESIGN GUIDELINES.

CORRECT? NO.

IT'S GOING TO COMPLY WITH THE KNOWLES.

KNOWLES GUIDELINES WHERE THE NOTE IS WHERE THE NOTE IS DOWN ON THE BOTTOM IN THE WHITE SECTION WHERE IT SAYS 100% COMPLIANT TO ENTRADA DESIGN GUIDELINES IN THE ORDINANCE THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PASSED UNDER, IT STATED THAT IT'S TO COMPLY WITH THE KNOWLES DESIGN GUIDELINES.

NOT NOT IN TROUBLE.

YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. WE'LL WE'LL MAKE THAT CHANGE THROUGH CONDITIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

AND THIS ONCE AGAIN IS A MAP THAT THE DEVELOPER PUT TOGETHER.

AND IT CLEARLY IDENTIFIES THE BLOCKS THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THIS AMENDMENT.

AND THE AREAS IN PURPLE WHERE NO CHANGES ARE TAKING PLACE.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

AND THIS HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE DETAIL THAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

WE DID GO OVER THE THE DEVELOPER'S REQUEST.

AND IT'S LIMITED TO CERTAIN BLOCKS WITHIN THE ENTRADA DEVELOPMENT.

WHEN THE APPLICATION CAME IN THERE WERE AMENDMENTS INCLUDED FOR BLOCK L, HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT HAS REMOVED THOSE AND THAT'S WHY WE DID NOT INCLUDE ANY PRESENTATION ON THOSE.

THE ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY OF THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OR USES WITHIN BLOCK L, AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS REALLY TO ILLUSTRATE THE OVERALL MASSING, UNIT COUNT AND THE LOT LAYOUT OF EACH EACH DEVELOPMENT AND ALL OF THE SPECIFICS FOR EACH BLOCK COMING IN TO BE DEVELOPED BLOCK IN PARTICULAR.

LOTS WITHIN THOSE BLOCKS WOULD REQUIRE A SITE PLAN APPLICATION SUBMISSION, AND THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT IS ALSO NECESSARY TO FACILITATE THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, AND THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN NEEDS TO BE UPDATED.

AND I UNDERSTAND YOU ALL WILL PROBABLY BE SEEING THAT EITHER LATER IN THIS AGENDA OR NEXT MONTH.

NEXT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO THE SUMMARY IS TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE ENTRADA DEVELOPMENT.

[00:45:07]

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REVIEWED THIS ITEM AT THEIR THEIR LAST MEETING.

THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT DELIVERY TRUCKS BLOCKING FIRE LANES, POOR VISIBILITY AT THE RESIDENTIAL DRIVES AND THE NEED FOR FRONT AND REAR YARD SETBACKS.

AND THE DEVELOPER EXPLAINED THAT THE DEVELOPMENT HAD SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED IN THIS MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY. AND HE DID ALSO TELL THE COMMISSION THAT THE FUTURE SITE PLAN APPLICATIONS WOULD CERTAINLY ADDRESS THOSE NOTED CONCERNS. THE COMMISSION VOTED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST AND SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN BECAUSE IT'S INTENDED TO JUST ILLUSTRATE LAND USE CATEGORIES BY COLOR AND LAND USE, AND THAT THE DEVELOPER, AS I MENTIONED JUST A MOMENT AGO, WILL ADDRESS VISIBILITY AS WELL AS OFF STREET PARKING FOR DELIVERY TRUCKS AND FUTURE SITE PLAN APPLICATIONS.

THIS EVENING YOU HAVE FOUR OPTIONS MOTION TO APPROVE AS SUBMITTED OR ADD ANY ADDITIONAL STIPULATIONS OR CONDITIONS TO TABLE THIS PARTICULAR ITEM OR A MOTION TO DENY THE ITEM.

AND I BELIEVE WE'VE JUST TALKED ABOUT AN AMENDMENT MAKING A CHANGE TO THE ORDINANCE REGARDING THE KNOWLES DESIGN REGULATIONS AND PERHAPS CAPTURING THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS ON BLOCK P TO BE 18 UNITS, AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AT THIS TIME.

IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND I UNDERSTAND THE APPLICANT IS HERE THIS AFTERNOON, SO SHOULD YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR HIM? THANK YOU. SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THE ENTRADA PD AMENDMENT.

STAFF IS SUGGESTING THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH AN APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE STATED WITHIN THE PRESENTATION, AND THEN THE TWO THAT WERE ADDED WERE THE BLOCK P ONLY ALLOWING THE MAX UNIT OF 18, AND THEN IN THE WESTLAKE SOUTH LAKE PARK ADDITION, WE WILL BE DEVELOPING THOSE TO THE STANDARDS THAT WERE ALREADY AGREED UPON WITHIN NINE, FIVE, NINE.

SO I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UNITS.

SO WHEN WE'RE SAYING, FOR INSTANCE, ON BLOCK B, 43 UNITS, BLOCK K, 73 UNITS, ARE THOSE MAXIMUM, OR ARE THOSE BECAUSE WE'VE REMOVED THE FOOTPRINTS.

SO ARE THOSE MAXIMUM NUMBERS OR.

THAT'S THE WAY THIS IS WRITTEN TODAY IS THOSE ARE MAXIMUM NUMBERS.

YES. AND JUST FOR EVERYBODY, OUR MAXIMUM NUMBER OF RESIDENCES IN INTRADA HAS NOT CHANGED.

THAT IS CORRECT. 22 2320 HAS NOT CHANGED.

YEAH I KNOW THAT GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION.

THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS GOING BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE TO MARRY THIS WITH THE THE PED PLAN.

IF WE REMOVE THE, THE THE SITE PLANS, THE, THE UNITS, HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT THE LOT ASSESSMENT PLACE? VERY PETTY.

THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON.

EVENING, COUNCIL. MAYOR PETTY.

THREE WORKS FOR YOUR PIT ADMINISTRATOR.

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN IS IF YOU'RE CHANGING ZONING, YOU'RE NOT CHANGING THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN BECAUSE YOU COULD CHANGE ZONING YET AGAIN.

AND SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT ZONING WILL BE GOVERNING EVERY SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL.

EVERY SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL, WHEN IT GETS SUBMITTED TO THE TOWN NOW HAS TO BE SUBMITTED TO US AND WE WILL RECONCILE WHAT IS BEING BUILT OR REQUESTED TO BE BUILT AGAINST THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AND WHAT'S CONTEMPLATED.

AND THEN, MOST LIKELY, BASED ON WHAT I WAS HEARING, WE'RE GOING TO BE ISSUING PREPAYMENT MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

SO PRIOR TO A SITE PLAN BEING APPROVED, THAT MANDATORY PREPAYMENT WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE SAP IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED AS THE ZONING.

SO JUST TO VERIFY, TO CLARIFY FOR MY FOR MYSELF.

SO THE THE YOUR ASSESSMENT IS SHOWING FOR THE ENTIRE BLOCK.

SO AS THEY CARVE OFF THESE LOTS THAT'S GOING TO GET PROPORTIONED.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE 73 UNITS ON THAT BLOCK.

YES OR YES. THAT'S WHY I'M CONFUSED.

SO WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS PLATTED.

SO THE PROPERTY CAN GET PLATTED BY AN ACTION OF THE PLOT, WHICH IS WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ALL THE BLOCKS.

MULTIPLE USES WITHIN THE BLOCKS MEANS MULTIPLE LOTS, OR IT CAN GET PLOTTED WHEN THEY FILE THE PLOT WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY DEDICATED TO THE TOWN. SO NATURALLY, HAVING ROADS CREATED THOSE BLOCKS AT THAT POINT IN TIME OF THAT FILING OF THAT FIRST FINAL PLAT FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE ACCEPTED,

[00:50:06]

THOSE ASSESSMENTS ATTACHED TO THOSE BLOCKS, BASED ON WHAT THAT ASSESSMENT, THAT DEVELOPMENT PLAN WAS BACK THEN.

SO NOW THAT YOU'RE CHANGING IT, WHENEVER YOU REZONE THAT BLOCK, ONCE IT GETS REPLATTED AGAIN, WHEN THAT SITE PLAN COMES IN, EVEN IF IT'S ONLY LOT ONE OF BLOCK X, THAT SITE PLAN WILL HAVE TO BE EVALUATED BASED ON THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PLAN AGAINST THE OLD DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

AND THIS IS ONE OF THE EXERCISES I'LL EXPLAIN IN A MINUTE.

AND THEN THAT PREPAYMENT WILL BE TRIGGERED.

WHATEVER THE CHANGE IS WILL HAVE TO BE RECONCILED BACK TO MAKE SURE IT'S IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ORIGINAL METHODOLOGY AND NOT EXCEEDING CERTAIN COMPONENTS THAT WERE REQUIRED NOT TO BE EXCEEDED, THEN.

GREAT. I WAS JUST CONCERNED IF WE APPROVE A MAXIMUM OF 80 UNITS, BUT THEN THEY ONLY BUILD 40.

WHAT THAT'S GOING TO DO? YEAH. NO, THAT'S MY FUN JOB.

OKAY. AS LONG AS LONG AS I GET THE SITE PLAN.

YEAH, AS LONG AS I GET THE SITE PLAN, WE WILL RECONCILE IT.

OKAY. THANKS FOR CLARIFYING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, QUESTIONS FOR WADE.

THIS IS THIS IS RECOMMENDED BY THE STAFF.

SO I THINK AS I, AS I INTERPRET IT, WE HAVE SAME AMOUNT OF HOMES.

THAT'S CORRECT. A REDUCTION IN DENSITY, WHICH IS A PLUS, BUT THEN A LOSS OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

SO JUST GIVE ME THE IMPETUS OR GIVE US THE IMPETUS FOR FOR THE RECOMMENDATION.

AND OF COURSE, IF THE DEVELOPER IS APPROPRIATE, JUST TELL US WHY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THIS.

WELL, THE THE LOSS OF COMMERCIAL IS VERY MINOR.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A PUSH OF ALL OF THAT COMMERCIAL UP INTO BLOCK Q, THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF A LOSS OF COMMERCIAL IN THE PLAZA MAYOR, BUT THE REALITY WAS WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND SEVERAL REALTORS IN TOWN, SEVERAL OTHER DEVELOPERS IN TOWN AS WELL.

THEIR SUGGESTION IS THAT THAT THAT PLAZA MAYOR WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE DEVELOPED THE WAY IT WAS.

SO IT JUST WOULDN'T GET THE USAGE THAT WE WANT.

IT'S SURROUNDED BY TWO LARGE HOTELS FACED WEST, AND THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE THAT IN THE FUTURE, NO MATTER WHAT.

IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER TO CHANGE IT NOW AND GO TO A SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED THAT COULD BE USED AS CONDOMINIUMS, OR COULD BE USED AS A MULTI-LEVEL CONDOMINIUMS THAT MIGHT ADDRESS SOME OF THE PARKING ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR.

THAT THAT OPEN, THAT OPENING IS STILL AVAILABLE TO US AND WHICH WOULD ALLOW SOME COMMERCIAL USE ON THAT SECOND FLOOR, MUCH LIKE THE ONES YOU'RE SEEING ISRAEL BERNAL PUT UP TODAY. SO THAT'S THE HOPE FOR US IN THE FUTURE, IS THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS AS THEY COME FORWARD IN THE FUTURE.

SO WE'VE LEFT THAT DOOR OPEN AND AVAILABLE FOR US FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE COMMERCIAL.

BUT THEN AGAIN, FOLLOWING KIND OF THE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS OR NOT REQUIREMENTS, BUT THE SUGGESTIONS BY THE DEVELOPERS.

AND IS THERE A IS THERE LIKE A DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS.

WE HAVE WE HAVE RESIDENTIAL UNDER DEVELOPMENT NOW.

WE HAVE INVENTORY OF RESIDENTIAL AVAILABLE NOW.

IS THERE DRIVING.

THERE'S SOMETHING DRIVING THE TIMING OF THE CHANGE.

NO SIR I DON'T I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANYTHING DRIVING THIS TIMING OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT WE REALLY NEED THE PIT ASSESSMENT TO MATCH THIS PROJECT.

THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE PIT ASSESSMENT HAVE NOT BEEN MATCHED FOR MANY YEARS, WHICH MAKES MARY'S JOB MUCH, MUCH HARDER AS THIS GOES FORWARD.

SO A NEW PIT ASSESSMENT OR A PSAP IS REQUIRED AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO BOTH OF THOSE THINGS AT ONCE HERE WITH THIS PROJECT.

THIS ONE AND THE NEXT ORDINANCE.

THAT'S CORRECT. YES. SO, MIKE, HOW I TAKE THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF LOT OF THINGS WITH INTRADA AND MR. BATES HERE. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK AND COUNCIL YOU GUYS SITTING DOWN AND WALKING THROUGH THIS, ALONG WITH PLANNING AND ZONING.

WE GET THIS PASSED TONIGHT.

I THINK WE HAVE THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PLAN, HOW INTRADA IS GOING TO BE ZONED WITH THE APPROPRIATE PIT ASSESSMENTS FOR THE LOT.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE A RESTAURANT, WANT TO COME INTO A LOT THAT HAS A HOTEL AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE LOT.

I THINK THIS IS KIND OF CLEANING UP THE PLAYING FIELD, GETTING EVERYTHING IN PLACE, HOPEFULLY SOME PIT REDUCTIONS AS WELL TO MAKE THE LOTS MORE AFFORDABLE AND REALLY GET THIS THING HAD, AS YOU KNOW, GOOD ACTIVITY.

WE HAVE SOME OTHER GOOD THINGS HERE COMING IN THE FUTURE, BUT THIS IS MY MIND, NOT A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS, YOU KNOW, IT'S CLEANUP.

IT'S JUST GETTING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS IN THE RIGHT PLACE TO MAKE SURE THIS CAN BE A SUCCESS.

YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT. YEAH.

SO THE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE, I KNOW WE HAVE TO REDO THE PID.

WE HAD A WORKSHOP ON THAT AND THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET DONE.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT. IS IT DOES THIS CREATE THE POSSIBILITY FOR A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPER TO COME IN AT A LOWER PID EXPENSE, TO KIM'S POINT, TO REMOVE SOME BARRIERS OR SAY THAT RESTAURANT KIM DESCRIBED OR A SINGLE YES, SIR.

BUT WHAT WE PASSED LAST MEETING ACTUALLY HAS A GREATER OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.

[00:55:05]

WE'RE REDEEMING $3.4 MILLION IN BONDS THAT WAS PASSED AT THE LAST MEETING.

AND AND ONCE THAT'S DONE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, WE STARTED THE PAPERWORK NOW, AND WE'LL GET THAT KICKED OUT ONCE THAT'S DONE, THAT'LL REDUCE THOSE ASSESSMENTS SIGNIFICANTLY.

THAT'S FAIR TO SAY. WE'RE REDUCING THE BARRIER FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AT LEAST FROM A PID EXPENSE.

THAT'S CORRECT. YES, SIR. EVERYONE I MEAN, CERTAINLY FOR EVERY LOT IN THERE, I THINK I THINK, YOU KNOW, FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING TO CLEAN THIS UP.

IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO MOVE FORWARD.

YEAH, BUT I THINK IT'D BE GREAT TO CONTINUE TO REINFORCE AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO GET AS MUCH COMMERCIAL IN THERE, NOT JUST FOR THE RESIDENTS OF WESTLAKE THAT WOULD LOVE TO ENJOY THAT, BUT ALSO FOR THE TAX REVENUE THAT WE'D LOVE TO BE PULLING IN THERE.

MR. BEATTY, PLEASE COME ON UP.

I JUST WANT TO KIND OF STEP BACK.

AND THIS IS THIS IS A NEW COUNCIL, RIGHT? AND AS OUR TENURED COUNCIL PERSON MR. BEATTY'S BEEN THROUGH THIS THING.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO BACK AND LOOK.

LOOK BEHIND US. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD.

EVERYBODY'S BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE.

THANK YOU. WORKING WITH THIS IS US CLEANING THIS UP.

I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT ENTRADA, THE OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US, SOME OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSSED JUST THE OPPORTUNITIES.

BUT WE HAVE TO DO THIS TO GIVE HIM A GIVE HIM A FAIR FIGHT.

I WOULD SAY. YOU HAVE ANY.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU. MICHAEL BEATTY, 4110 RIVERWALK DRIVE.

IN ADDITION TO THE PREPAYMENT OR WHATEVER THE RIGHT TERM IS FOR SENDING THE BONDHOLDERS SOME MONEY.

THIS ALSO REMOVES THE SEPARATE ASSESSMENT THAT WAS ON THE PHASE TWO PROPERTY.

IT WAS INITIALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THE 80 HOUSES AND IT WAS WATER, SEWER, STREETS AND DRAINAGE.

SO NONE OF THAT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IS UNDER THAT ASSESSMENT AMOUNT.

MEANING IN ADDITION TO THE MONEY THAT ACTUALLY GOES BACK OUT, THE ASSESSMENTS FOR THE COMMERCIAL AREA FOR PHASE TWO WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER.

SO IT'S A MUCH LOWER HURDLE BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN THAT WORLD DEALS WITH CAP RATES AND NOI.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE ONLY THING I HAVE AS A COMMENT IS I WANT TO REITERATE WHAT I THINK PNC HAS SAID IS THAT LOOKING AT THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND I KNOW WE'VE REMOVED A LOT OF THE THE FOOTPRINTS IN THAT, BUT THE THE ORIGINAL PLAN HAD A LOT MORE PARKING IN BECAUSE IT HAD ALL THE COMMERCIAL AREAS.

SO MY CONCERN IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WHEN WE ARE ADDRESSING SITE PLANS, THAT WE REALLY LOOK AT ADEQUATE PARKING, BECAUSE THE WAY THAT IT'S PRESENTED TODAY, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S VERY LACKING.

I KNOW WE DO HAVE A PARKING STRUCTURE, BUT THAT PARKING STRUCTURE CAN ONLY FIT SO MANY CARS.

I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT OTHER OPTIONS WE HAVE FOR, FOR HOUSING AND FOR THE LIKE, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BLOCK BLOCK K, WHICH WE'RE PUTTING IN.

I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE PARKING HERE AND THE SALON AREA, BUT I DO THINK THAT'S A CONCERN WE NEED TO ADDRESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND WE STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE THOSE AS THOSE THINGS COME UP TO MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.

YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT.

AND I WILL ALSO SAY TERRY WILKINSON, ONE OF OUR PNC COMMISSIONERS, HE ALSO HAD ANOTHER THOUGHT AT THE END OF THE MEETING THAT HE DIDN'T GET INTO THE CONDITIONS, BUT SOMETHING HE WANTS US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IN THE FUTURE.

AND THAT'S ON STREET PARKING WITHIN ENTRADA.

THOSE STREETS ARE ONLY 24FT WIDE.

AND IF WE HAVE MUCH ON STREET PARKING AT ALL.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET A FIRE TRUCK OR AN AMBULANCE PAST THAT.

SO HE WANTS US TO REALLY BE THINKING THROUGH.

AND I'VE BEEN THINKING THROUGH A LITTLE BIT AS WELL.

AND WE'RE GOING TO MEET WITH THE DEVELOPER LATER ON ABOUT HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THAT, WHETHER THAT'S A FIRE LANE ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET AND NOT ON THE OTHER, OR WHETHER WE JUST SAY THE ENTIRE STREETS WITHIN ENTRATA ARE FIRE LANES AND YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY ON STREET PARKING WHATSOEVER, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES IN THAT AREA.

AND I DRIVE THROUGH THERE 3 OR 4 TIMES A WEEK JUST CHECKING ON THINGS.

THE OTHER NIGHT, SATURDAY NIGHT, THEY HAD A PARTY AT THE BANQUET HALL, AND PEOPLE WERE PARKED IN THAT CIRCLE.

WE GOT TO CHANGE THAT.

THEY JUST. IT'S JUST IT'S REALLY TIGHT.

SO I THINK THAT POINT IS WHATEVER MAKES SENSE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I NEED TO I WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? PERFECT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 1001.

SO MOVED. WITH THOSE CONDITIONS.

WITH THOSE? I'M SORRY. WITH THOSE.

AND THE ADDITIONAL BLOCK P FOR 18 UNITS AND WESTLAKE PARK ADDITION MEETING THE STANDARDS WITHIN 9.59.

CORRECT. OKAY.

JUST MAKING SURE THAT THAT MOTION.

CORRECT. THAT WHAT YOU MEANT? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED?

[01:00:01]

THANK YOU ALL. THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

OKAY. ITEM ONE.

A. Staff Presentation B. Hold public hearing C. Discuss and consider D. Act]

DASH TWO. HOLD PUBLIC HEARING.

DISCUSS. CONSIDER AN ACT TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1003.

ACCEPTING AND APPROVING A 2024 AMENDED AND RESTATED SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AND ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR THE SOLANO PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, MAKING A FINAL OF SPECIAL BENEFIT OF THE PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT, LEVYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AGAINST PROPERTY WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND ESTABLISHING A LIEN ON SUCH PROPERTY.

EVALUATING AND VACATING A PORTION OF THE EXISTING ASSESSMENT AND DIRECTING THE TRANSFER OF AMOUNTS PREVIOUSLY COLLECTED TO REDEEM OUTSTANDING BONDS.

EXCUSE ME. PROVIDING THE METHOD OF ASSESSMENT AND THE PAYMENT OF THE ASSESSMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 372, TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, AS AMENDED, PROVIDING PENALTIES AND INTEREST ON DELINQUENT ASSESSMENTS.

PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

MARY. IT IS.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL MARY PETTY P THREE WORKS FOR YOUR ADMINISTRATOR.

SO IN EVERYTHING HE READ IS EVERYTHING WE'RE GOING TO DO.

SO REMEMBER NORMALLY WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE DOING AN ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN UPDATE.

WE JUST REFLECT THE CHANGES IN THE ASSESSMENT ROLL, NEWLY PLATTED PROPERTY, ETC.

WE DON'T HAVE TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING IN THAT INSTANCE, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO ADJUST ANY LEVEES.

SO WE ARE DOING SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

BUT WHAT WE'RE NOT DOING IS WE'RE NOT INCREASING THE LEVEE ON ANYONE'S PROPERTY TODAY.

HOWEVER, WE ARE REALLOCATING THE LEVEE TO PROPERTY THAT ORIGINALLY COULD NOT BE DEVELOPED.

AND SINCE THAT GAS WELLHEAD WAS ABANDONED, IT IS NOW DEVELOPABLE PROPERTY.

AND IN YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE THAT YOU JUST ACTED UPON, WE MOVED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, VERTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO THAT AREA.

THEREFORE, IT NOW HAS A SPECIAL BENEFIT FROM THOSE IMPROVEMENTS AND NEEDS TO PAY ITS APPROPRIATE SHARE OF THE ASSESSMENTS.

SO IN DOING SO, WE ARE NATURALLY LOWERING EVERYONE ELSE'S ASSESSMENTS.

SO IF YOU RECALL, IN 2015 WHEN THESE ASSESSMENTS WERE LEVIED, WE LEVIED TO ISSUE ABOUT $25 MILLION IN BONDS.

WITHIN THAT LEVY WAS ALSO A REIMBURSEMENT TO THE DEVELOPER.

THE DEVELOPER MENTIONED THAT IT WAS TO PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WAS NEVER CONSTRUCTED.

SO WITHIN THIS ACTION ITEM, WE ARE ALSO VACATING THAT PORTION OF THE REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION TO THE DEVELOPER, AGAIN, THAT ACTS TO LOWER THE ASSESSMENTS ON EVERYONE ELSE. AND THEN FOR THOSE DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN COLLECTED, THEY WILL SERVE AS A CREDIT TO THE PROPERTY.

BUT IT ALLOWS US TO ALSO REDEEM BONDS BECAUSE THOSE BOND INVESTORS ARE IN A FIRST POSITION EXPECTING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE CONSTRUCTED.

AND IT WAS NOT. AND SO IT WILL FURTHER LOWER THE ASSESSMENTS ON EVERYBODY AND REDEEM BONDS.

NORMALLY, WHEN WE'RE REDEEMING BONDS, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY PREPAYMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE.

WE HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS IN THE PREPAYMENT ACCOUNT, SO WE'RE CAPTURING THAT CASH.

WE'RE ALSO RIGHTSIZING THE DEBT SERVICE RESERVE IN ANTICIPATION OF ALL OF THESE REDUCTIONS AND GATHERING UP ALL EXCESS INTEREST EARNINGS.

SO THERE IS QUITE A FEW REVENUE SOURCES THAT ARE GOING TO ACT TO SERVE AS THE REDEMPTION AMOUNT.

NOT ONLY THE REDEMPTION AMOUNT ON THE BONDS, WHICH WILL LOWER THE ASSESSMENTS.

WE ALSO ARE VACATING THAT REIMBURSEMENT TO THE DEVELOPER WITH THEIR PERMISSION.

NOW, IN ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATIONS.

YOU ALSO HAVE A LANDOWNER'S CONSENT STATUTE REQUIRES US TO MAIL NOTICE CALL A PUBLIC HEARING.

THAT PUBLIC HEARING WAS CALLED LAST MONTH WHERE YOU HAD THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN ATTACHED TO IT.

BETWEEN THEN AND NOW, WE WORKED THROUGH SOME TAX OFFICE ISSUES WHERE PARCELS HAD BEEN FILED AS A METES AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTION AND NOT A PLAT.

AND SO THAT CAUSES, LET'S JUST SAY, IT WREAKS HAVOC ON A LOT OF ISSUES, WHICH IS WHY I USUALLY AND YOU ALL DON'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN HERE.

BUT SOMEHOW IT HAPPENED.

SO IT CREATED AN ISSUE BETWEEN YOUR PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN.

AND THIS ONE, BECAUSE THE LANDOWNER IS THE ONLY IS ONLY THE DEVELOPER, THEY HAVE GRANTED THEIR PERMISSION TO ADJUST THOSE COMPONENTS BECAUSE THAT WAS THE RIGHT SIZING OF IT.

SO THAT IS ALSO BEING DONE HERE IN YOUR SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN.

ADDITIONALLY, IT'S ALSO SERVING AS YOUR ANNUAL UPDATE FOR ALL THE OTHER PARCELS.

BUT AGAIN THEY'RE RECOGNIZING THOSE CREDITS AND THOSE REDUCTIONS IN ASSESSMENTS.

SO JUST MAKE SURE I'M COVERING ALL MY NOTES BECAUSE THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS.

OKAY. THAT COVERS IT.

SO COUNCIL MEMBER REEVES ASKED EARLIER, HOW ARE WE GOING TO RECOGNIZE WHEN A SITE PLAN COMES IN? ARE THEY BUILDING? SO REMEMBER IN THE BACK OF YOUR SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN IS ALSO YOUR SELLER'S DISCLOSURES.

SO THE DEVELOPER ACTUALLY HAS TO REQUEST FROM US A SELLER'S DISCLOSURE BECAUSE THIS ONE IS NOT JUST OH, I'M BUYING A LOT.

IT IS I AM BUYING A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS USE AND THIS MANY SQUARE FEET.

WHEN THAT SITE PLAN COMES THROUGH, WE WILL HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT'S WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BUILT.

AND IF IT'S NOT, IT WILL REQUIRE A PREPAYMENT.

SO WE WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH TOWN STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT OCCURS PRIOR TO.

[01:05:04]

AND SO YOU'RE WRITING THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN.

AND AS WE MARCH FORWARD, WE VERY WELL MAY SEE OTHER PREPAYMENTS COME ACROSS.

AND AGAIN, NEXT YEAR IS ACTUALLY THE YEAR THAT YOU COULD REFUND THESE BONDS.

AND SO WE'LL PROBABLY GOING TO BE WORKING WITH YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS AND BOND COUNSELS TO LOOK AT WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN CONJUNCTION FOR ANY INTEREST, SAVINGS OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT. SO I'LL BE BACK EARLY NEXT YEAR AGAIN.

SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

SO THIS WILL EITHER TODAY OR NEXT YEAR.

THIS WILL SERVE TO REDUCE OUR BONDS.

YES, SIR. SO YOU ALSO, IN YOUR LAST MEETING, PASSED A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO CONFIRM WITH THE TRUSTEE, WHICH IS U.S.

BANK, AND AUTHORIZE YOUR FAA AND BOND COUNSEL TO BEGIN WORKING ON ALL THE PAPERWORK TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN INSIDE THE INDENTURE, WHICH IS YOUR CONTRACT BETWEEN THE TRUSTEE AND IN THE TOWN.

FOR THESE BONDS ARE CERTAIN PROVISIONS ON HOW YOU HAVE TO WALK THROUGH THAT.

IT REQUIRES A 30 DAY NOTICE BY THE TRUSTEE TO BOND INVESTORS.

AND SO WE ARE IN THAT WAITING PERIOD RIGHT NOW.

SO RIGHT NOW THAT TARGET DATE IS OCTOBER 15TH.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE NOTICE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR WHEN YOU TAKE ACTION ON THIS.

IT THEN ALLOWS US TO LOWER THE ASSESSMENTS, AND WE'VE ALREADY ACCEPTED THAT RESOLUTION FOR YOU TO AUTHORIZE THE CALLING OF THOSE BONDS.

SO NOW WE'RE MATCHING THOSE ITEMS TOGETHER.

THESE ARE ALL CALLABLE BONDS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

IT'S UNDER AN EXTRAORDINARY OPTIONAL REDEMPTION PROVISION.

SO IT'S NOT YOUR NORMAL CALLABLE FEATURE.

THAT WOULD THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT YEAR.

BUT THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY OPTIONAL REDEMPTION FEATURE THAT'S HOUSED INSIDE THAT INDENTURE.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOT FOR MISS PETIT, BUT WE DO HAVE MICHAEL BEATTIE WITH US REAL QUICK.

AND I WOULD, MIKE, IF YOU MIND COMING UP FOR THE PODIUM FOR JUST ONE SECOND, I WANT TO JUST ASK ONE LITTLE QUESTION.

SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAD THROUGH THIS THAT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH WITH MARY, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THAT IS BY WERE CAUSED DUE TO THE SALE OF PROPERTY BY METES AND BOUNDS.

IS THERE ANY OTHER PROPERTY OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT YOU KNOW OF THAT'S UNDER.

IT'S FOR SALE BY METES AND BOUNDS.

WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO BUY A PART OF THE ACTUAL PARKING LOT HERE.

WE'RE WORKING ON A SURVEY AND GET A PLAT IN FRONT OF YOU THAT CAN HOPEFULLY BE APPROVED IN LESS THAN THE PREVIOUS TIME FRAMES REQUIRED.

OKAY. SHE IS ANXIOUS TO CLOSE.

SHE WANTS TO CLOSE WITHIN A WEEK KIND OF THING.

IT'S FOR A FAMILY OFFICE.

MINERALS. CAN YOU CAN YOU PUSH THAT TO US AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE? WE'LL TRY TO GET THAT APPROVED AND GET ON IT, MIKE, IN TIME.

SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT BY METES AND BOUNDS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANKS, WADE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE'LL NOW OPEN UP PUBLIC HEARING.

WISHES TO SPEAK A CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1003? SO MOVED. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND. ALL APPROVED.
