NEXT ON THE AGENDA E3,

[E.3. Development Review Presentation (Deputy Town Manager Jason Alexander)]

DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION BY JASON ALEXANDER.

>> THANK YOU, HONORABLE MAYOR, TOWN COUNCIL. GOOD AFTERNOON.

[00:20:01]

JUST QUICKLY WANT TO BRING YOU UP TO SPEED ON VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.

FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO START WITH PINSTACK.

IT IS A PREMIER ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING VENUE FOR FAMILIES.

IT IS DELIVERING APPROXIMATELY 53,400 SQUARE FEET OF ENCLOSED COMMERCIAL SPACE.

AS MR. SASSER MENTIONED EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON, THERE IS A RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY THAT WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 27.

JUST WANT TO SHOW A FEW IMAGES OF THE PROJECT THAT IS NOW OCCUPIED.

>> WOW.

>> THEN I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP 49 ARTA DRIVE, WHICH IS A MIXED USE BUILDING.

THE FIRST ONE DEVELOPED UNDER THE ENTRADA DESIGN GUIDELINES.

IT WILL DELIVER APPROXIMATELY 24,700 SQUARE FEET OF ENCLOSED SPACE, INCLUDING 10 RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT ARE CONDOMINIUMS. PARKING WILL BE PROVIDED BELOW COMMERCIAL ON THE FIRST FLOOR, AND THE RESIDENTIAL IS ON THE UPPER FLOORS OF THE BUILDING.

SHOWING ONGOING WORK THIS AFTERNOON, YOU SEE THE STONE WORK THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ENTRADA DESIGN GUIDELINES. YES, SIR?

>> THAT'S ONE WE'RE THRILLED ABOUT PINSTACK AND HAVING THEM PART OF THE WESTLAKE FAMILY, BUT THAT'S ISRAEL BERNAL'S BUILDING.

I THINK IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.

>> IT IS A WELCOMED ADDITION AND IT DOES START TO SET THE TONE FOR THIS PART OF THE ENTRADA DEVELOPMENT, WHICH I THINK MARRY TO YOUR POINT WILL ALSO BE FURTHER COMPLEMENTED BY THE NEXT PROJECT.

YES, SIR. IT IS A B1 BANK BUILDING.

IT IS PRIMARILY STONE AND STUCCO.

THAT STUCCO IS TRUE HARD CORE AND IT DOES HAVE WOOD ACCENTS.

WHAT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS THAT IT DOES INTRODUCE SOME TOWER ELEMENTS TO HELP STIMULATE VISUAL INTERESTS AND CREATE MORE OF AN ICONIC VISUAL IDENTITY ALONG DAVIS BOULEVARD AND FROM HIGHWAY 114.

NOT ONLY DOES IT COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE ENTRADA DESIGN GUIDELINES, IN MANY RESPECTS IT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND.

THIS IS THE SITE.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE RENDERINGS OF THE BUILDING, WHERE YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE TOWER ELEMENTS THAT STARTS TO PROVIDE THAT TRANSITION FROM MORE OF THE COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES AT FRONT DAVIS BOULEVARD, AND THAT COMES ALONG THE SIDE, I SHOULD SAY, OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD, ALONG 114, WHICH LEADS INTO THE CORE OF THE ENTRADA COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING RESIDENTIAL FEATURES THAT TRANSITION NICELY INTO THE DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND THE ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE EITHER CONSTRUCTED OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN ENTRADA.

THEN ANOTHER SIDE VIEW THERE REALLY BREAKING UP THAT SIDE BUILDING FACADE, WITH FULL WINDOW OPENINGS AND WITH OPENINGS THAT ARE VERTICAL FOR GLAZING THAT REALLY CREATES STRONG VISUAL INTERESTS ON THE CORNER.

I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT SHARE THAT ANOTHER PROMINENT FEATURE OF THIS PROJECT WOULD BE A STATUE OR SOME TYPE OF PRIVATE ART PIECE THAT WILL ANCHOR THE CORNER IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

THE HILTON GARDEN INN.

IT IS A HOTEL WITH 128 ROOMS. THIS IS LOCATED WITHIN A COMMERCIAL CORE OF ENTRADA, APPROXIMATELY 79,000 SQUARE FEET OF ENCLOSED SPACE.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH THE DEVELOPER ON THIS PROJECT.

THEY HAVE A REBAR INSPECTION THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW.

THAT IS NEEDED FOR APPROVAL IN ORDER TO BEGIN POURING THE FOUNDATION.

IT'S STARTING TO GO VERTICAL WITH THE FRAMING FOR THE HOTEL.

AFTER THAT REBAR INSPECTION AND BEFORE THE VERTICALITY OF THE BUILDING, THERE WILL BE A PRE CONSTRUCTION MEETING THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION IS ON TRACK AND THAT THE FIRE LAYERS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR SAFETY, ACCESS, AND CONCERNS.

WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND I KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPER IS AS WELL, AND THEY ARE ANXIOUSLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BEING A PROMINENT ADDITION TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY WITHIN ENTRADA AND GREATER WESTLAKE.

HERE'S DIRT MOVING ON THAT SIDE.

LA CIMA DE ENTRADA.

THESE ARE 18 SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL UNITS OR TOWN HOMES.

THEY'RE ALSO LOCATED PRETTY CLOSE TO THE HEART OF ENTRADA.

CIVIL PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW.

THE COMMENTS ARE ACTIVELY BEING ADDRESSED.

SIMULTANEOUSLY, WITH THAT, THE BUILDING PLANS ARE ALSO UNDER REVIEW AND THE COMMENTS ARE ACTIVELY BEING ADDRESSED THERE AS WELL.

YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT IS ONGOING AT THAT SITE.

[00:25:02]

THE B1 BANK BUILDING PLUS LA CIMA DE ENTRADA PLUS THE MIXED USE BUILDING THAT IS BEING CONSTRUCTED BY MR. BERNAL THAT STARTS TO GENERATE SOME KEY ACTIVITY AND INTEREST DIRECTLY BEHIND DAVIS BOULEVARD AND THEN PROVIDING THAT TRANSITION INTO THE HEART OF ENTRADA.

SOLANA HILLS.

THIS IS A REALLY EXCITING ONE FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, AS THIS OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH SOME WORLD RENOWNED ARCHITECTS AND URBAN DESIGNERS ON THE AESTHETICS, NOT JUST OF THE BUILDINGS, BUT ALSO OF THE SEMI PUBLIC ENVIRONMENT OR THE SEMI PUBLIC REALM, AS SOME URBAN DESIGNERS CALL IT, BUT SOME PRETTY UNIQUE STREETSCAPES.

THE BORING AND GEOTECHNICAL WORK TOOK PLACE ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO FOR THE LAYOUT OF STREETS AND LOTS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE STREETS ARE GOING TO GO AND HOW THE LOTS ARE GOING TO BE LAID OUT.

FOLLOWING THAT, CIVIL PLANS WERE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW.

COMMENTS ARE ALSO BEING ACTIVELY ADDRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THAT.

THE DEVELOPER IS WORKING ON ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS THAT WOULD BE AKIN TO THOSE FOR VALLAGGIO, THAT CAME BEFORE YOU A MONTH TO TWO MONTHS PREVIOUSLY AND WAS APPROVED BY YOU, AND THEY WOULD DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THAT.

FINALLY, WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON TIMING FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN SAM SCHOOL ROAD, THAT WILL ALSO COINCIDE WITH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN THAT WILL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE BUDGET AS WE PREPARE FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT TO HELP ANCHOR THE EASTERN GATEWAY INTO WESTLAKE.

WESTLAKE VENTANAS, ANOTHER EXCITING ONE.

THIS IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF UP TO 51 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

THE GRADING WORK IS JUST ABOUT COMPLETE FOR STREET AND LOT LAYOUT, AND THE DEVELOPER IS WORKING ON PREPARING THEIR FINAL PLATFORM REVIEW AND APPROVAL, WHICH WILL THEN ALLOW FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS.

JUST SOME IMAGES.

SOME OTHER PROJECTS TO BRING TO YOUR CONSIDERATION OUTSIDE OF THOSE SHOWN, RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES ON THE TICK IN ENTRADA, QUAIL HOLLOW, THE KNOLLS AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE FIRST ROUND OF PRELIMINARY REVIEWS OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES, UNDER THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS APPROVED BY TOWN COUNCIL FOR VALLAGGIO, CAME IN ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AND THE DEVELOPER IS WORKING WITH THE BUILDER NOW TO MAKE CORRECTIONS BASED OFF OF THOSE INITIAL REVIEWS.

A MARRIOTT SOLANA HOTEL.

THEY HAVE HAD A PERMIT ISSUED FOR ROOM RENOVATIONS, THOSE ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW ACTIVELY, AND THOSE ARE KEEPING IN TRACK WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND ORDINANCES ADOPTED BY THE TOWN.

THERE ARE PARKING STRUCTURE ADDITIONS FOR CHARLES SCHWAB.

THEY'VE ALSO COME BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FOR REVIEW AND FEEDBACK, AND WE'RE WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH THEM ON THAT, AS WELL AS FINALLY, THE PARKING STRUCTURE FOR DELOITTE, A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WAS RELEASED FOR IT, PROBABLY A WEEK OR A WEEK AND A HALF AGO AND YOU SEE THAT THEY'RE FROM THE OUTSKIRTS OF THEIR FACILITY.

WITH THAT, MAYOR, TOWN COUNCIL, I'LL PAUSE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS, JASON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> YES, SIR.

>> WE HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVITY GOING ON.

COUNCIL HAS BEEN TOGETHER FOR ABOUT A YEAR, BUT I JUST WANT TO, ISRAEL BEN'S BUILDING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS BEAUTIFUL, GREG FOX'S TOWNHOMES, RAY MICKENS WITH THE B1 BANK AND STEVE DALRY THAT'S GOING TO RUN THAT BRANCH THERE.

HE'S ALREADY IN ENTRADA WITH A TEMPORARY BRANCH.

MIKE BATTY AND FRANK BINA, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE ALL THEM COMING TO WESTLAKE AND TROT INVESTING AND APPRECIATE THE JOB THAT THE TOWN IS DOING, WORKING WITH THEM.

I KNOW WE STILL HAVE SOME UPS AND DOWNS, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WESTLAKE IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE EASIER TO DO BUSINESS WITH, BUT WE DO WANT TO ATTRACT MORE AND MORE BUSINESSES NOT ONLY IN ENTRADA, BUT WESTLAKE, GREAT JOB ON ALL THIS.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> NEXT, GENERAL ITEM 4 PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL REPORT FROM KELLER POLICE DEPARTMENT,

[E.4. Presentation of Annual Report from the Keller Police Department relative to Police Services and the Racial Profiling Report for the Town of Westlake (Keller Police Chief Brad Fortune)]

RELATIVE TO OUR POLICE SERVICES AND THE RACHAEL PROFILING REPORT TO THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, CHIEF FORTUNE. HOW ARE YOU.

>> I'M DOING WELL, MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE HERE THIS AFTERNOON.

I DON'T THINK WE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE YOU LAST YEAR, SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE UP FOR IT.

I GAVE THIS INFORMATION TO YOU AHEAD OF TIME, SO I'M NOT GOING TO READ EVERY SLIDE TO YOU FOR THE SACK OF TIME, BUT I DO WANT TO HIT THE MAIN POINTS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND OTHER WHO MAY BE WATCHING, HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AS A REMINDER THAT I PUT ON EVERY ONE OF MY PRESENTATIONS BEFORE YOU, I PROVIDE OUR MISSION OUR VALUE SYSTEM.

WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR A LONG WHILE BUT THE REASON THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT THIS YEAR IS OUR DEPARTMENT HAS CHANGED OVER MANY YEARS.

WHEN THIS MISSION AND THESE VALUES WERE DEVELOPED,

[00:30:04]

IT WAS MANY YEARS AGO, AND SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO BRING IN A COMPANY TO HELP US REVIEW OUR MISSION, REVIEW WHAT DEPARTMENT WE WANT TO BE AND BASICALLY SOMETHING THAT OUR NEW YOUNG SUPERVISORS AND STAFF CAN BUY INTO AND OWN.

ACTUALLY TODAY FOR EIGHT HOURS, AND THEN TOMORROW WE'LL BE FINISHING SUPERVISE RETREAT THAT FIDELITY HAS BEEN SO KIND TO HOST FORCE.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET ALL OF OUR SUPERVISORS IN A ROOM, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A NEW MISSION PURPOSE AND VISION THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT OF THAT RETREAT, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

WHATEVER OUR MISSION AND VISION IS GOING TO BE WHEN WE FINALIZE THIS RETREAT.

WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THESE FOUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES AS THE MAIN THING THAT CITIZENS WOULD LOOK UPON TO VALUE WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHING OUR MISSION AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT.

NUMBER 1 IS CRIME RATE, 2, IS TRAFFIC SAFETY, TIMELY SERVICE, QUALITY OF SERVICE.

I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME ON EACH ONE OF THESE TO SHOW NUMBERS ON HOW WE'RE DOING ON EACH.

NUMBER 1, CRIME RATE, A LOT OF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT A CRIME RATE IS.

I'M GOING TO TAKE IT JUST A SECOND.

MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT FROM STATE TO STATE CRIMES ARE NOT THE SAME.

SOMETIMES YOU'VE HEARD OF ASSAULT AND BATTERY IN THE MOVIES AND TV.

WELL, TEXAS HAS NO BATTERY.

THAT'S A LESSER OFFENSE OF ASSAULT.

IF YOU'RE MOVING FROM NEBRASKA TO TEXAS, YOU WANT TO COMPARE CRIME RATES, IT'S NOT THE SAME BECAUSE DIFFERENT OFFENSES ARE DEFINED DIFFERENTLY FROM STATE TO STATE.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THE FBI STEPPED IN AND IDENTIFIED THESE WHAT THEY CALL PART ONE CRIMES, AND THEY DEFINED EACH OF THESE.

EACH YEAR, JURISDICTIONS WILL THEN REPORT OUT BASED ON THE DEFINITION ASSIGNED BY THE FBI, AND NOW WE CAN COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES.

THAT'S WHAT THESE CRIME RATES ARE.

NOW, WESTLAKE, YOUR PART 1 CRIMES ARE 49.

I'M GOING TO PUT THAT IN THE CONTEXT HERE IN A SECOND, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE HAPPY, I PROMISE.

[LAUGHTER] CURRENTLY, OUR CRIME RATE FOR WESTLAKE IS 2.13 PER 1,000.

THAT'S CONSIDERING THE DAYTIME POPULATION.

WE USE 23,000 CURRENTLY, IT FLUCTUATES IN WHAT'S ON THE WEBSITE, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE USE, WAS 23,000.

IF WE USE THE 181, WHICH IS ON THE WEBSITE, YOU WOULD LOOK AT A 2.71 CRIME RATE.

KEEP THAT IN MIND ON OUR NEXT SLIDE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE VARIABLES FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

YOU'RE ALWAYS RANGING FROM ONE POINT SOMETHING TO TWO POINT SOMETHING.

YOU CAN SEE OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS HOW YOUR CRIME RATE FLUCTUATED.

LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE STILL BETWEEN 2.1 AND RIGHT UNDER 3.

>> WHEN I WAS ASKED ABOUT A COMPARISON FOR CITIES, I'M GOING TO START, WELL, DALLAS IS A 40.28.

THIS IS IN ORDER BY POPULATION, FORT WORTH, 31.73, ARLINGTON 2907 PLANO, 16.21, KELLER 735, PROSPER, 10.57 SOUTHLAKE, 10.36, WE'RE GETTING CLOSER.

COLLEYVILLE, 5.77, AND FINALLY WESTLAKE AT 2.13.

THAT'S A PRETTY DARN GOOD.

>> THE LIST WE WANT TO BE ON THE BOTTOM OF.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. SURE. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS IS WE GET INTO THE WEEDS OF WHAT THESE CRIMES REPRESENT.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DWI REST, YES, WE INCREASE BY 100%.

THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS FOR THAT.

SOMETIMES WHEN CITIZENS CALL IN DWIS, IT HAPPENS TO BE DETERMINES WHERE WE'RE AT WHEN THOSE CALLS COME OUT.

CAN WE GET TO THEM BEFORE THEY GET OUT OF OUR TOWN? SOMETIMES IT'S CRASHES.

WHEN WE GET THERE AND INVESTIGATE, IT TURNS OUT A DWI CONTRIBUTED TO THAT.

SOMETIMES WITH OUR IMPROVED STAFFING, WE ARE ABLE TO BE MORE PROACTIVE OUT THERE FINDING AND ENFORCING THE DWIS.

BUT ONE INTERESTING STAT WAS WE FOUND OUT THAT IN 2023 THERE WAS ZERO WESTLAKE RESIDENTS THAT WERE ARRESTED FOR DWI AND IN 2024, THERE WAS ONLY ONE.

IT'S A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH.

WE ALSO KNOW THE INCREASE IN GROWTH AND POPULATION IN OUR AREA.

THERE'S JUST MORE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.

IT LENDS ITSELF TO MORE DWI, SO WE WILL BE UP THERE MAKING OUR PRESENCE KNOWN.

NUMBER 1 REASON.

>> CHIEF, YOU HAVE THE NARCOTICS? DO YOU HAVE THAT BREAKDOWN IN WESTLAKE RESIDENTS OR NOT?

>> NO, SIR. I CAN GET THAT FOR YOU, SIR. I JUST DON'T HAVE IT.

>> WELL, JUST IF IT'S MEANINGFUL.

>> I'LL LET YOU KNOW, SIR.

BY FAR, THE NUMBER 1 CRIME THAT HAPPENS IN WESTLAKE IS LARCENY THEFTS.

PRIMARILY, CONSTRUCTION SITES, UNSECURED VEHICLES, AND I SAY THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I'M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN, IF PEOPLE WOULD EITHER TAKE THE VALUABLES OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES OR IF THEY'RE DEAD SET ON LEAVING THEIR VALUABLES IN THEIR CAR, AT LEAST MAYBE HIDE THEM, OR IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT, AT LEAST LOCK THE DOOR.

[00:35:03]

IF THEY COULD DO ANY OF THOSE, THAT WOULD HELP US OUT.

BUT LIKE I SAID, 46 OF 49 OF OUR PART 1 CRIMES ARE PROPERTY CRIME.

THAT MEANS THREE CRIMES HAPPENED IN 2024 THAT WEREN'T PROPERTY CRIMES.

ONE WAS A FORCIBLE RAPE AND THERE WAS TWO AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.

IF WE COULD JUST ASK PEOPLE TO PLEASE DO THAT, THAT WOULD BRING OUR CRIME RATE EVEN LOWER.

MOVING ON FROM TRENDS.

>> EXCUSE ME, CHIEF JOHN. CAN WE PUT SOMETHING OUT HERE BECAUSE WE JUST HAD AN ISSUE AT LIFETIME FITNESS.

A LADY'S PURSE GOT FILL OUT OF CAR.

CAR WASN'T LOCKED TO MY UNDERSTANDING.

I THINK IT'S MY FOURTH YEAR THAT I SITTING OUT HERE.

LISTEN TO I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY.

JOHN, WE COULD DO A REMINDER JUST OF SUMMERS COMING UP AND LOCK THE DOOR, TAKE YOUR STUFF.

>> THERE'S A PROMOTIONAL THIS ISN'T UNIQUE TO WESLEY.

THIS IS ALL OVER. IT'S HIDE LOCK TAKE.

THAT'S THE PROMOTIONAL DEAL, HIDE LOCK TAKE.

WE PUT IT AT PARKS FOR WORK OUT, FITNESS FACILITIES ARE PRIME FOR THAT TYPE OF THING BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS WHEN THEY GO IN THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING OUT. THEY HAVE TIME.

CRIMINALS, THEY'RE PREYING ON THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO THEIR STUFF IN THE CARS.

I LOCK TAKE IS A GREAT PROMOTIONAL PROGRAM.

BUT MOVING ON FROM CRIME RATE, WE HAVE TRAFFIC SAFETY.

WE DID HAVE AN INCREASE IN REPORTABLE CRASHES FROM 110-132, OVERALL CRASHES FROM 288-348, AND WE DID HAVE AN INCREASE IN FATALITY CRASHES FROM 1-2.

BOTTOM LINE, LIKE WE SAID, THERE'S GROWTH IN POPULATION, THERE'S MORE VEHICLES ON THE ROADWAY, AND IT JUST LENDS ITSELF TO THIS.

PEOPLE ARE GETTING MORE FRUSTRATED, THEY'RE IMPATIENT, AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS, IT LENDS ITSELF TO CRASHES.

YOU CAN SEE THESE FACTORS FOR INTERSECTION CRASHES AND THE TOP 3 LOCATIONS FOR CRASHES DO NOT REALLY CHANGE OVER TIME.

THEY'RE PRETTY CONSISTENT FROM YEAR-TO-YEAR.

BUT THIS IS A SLIDE THAT I'D LIKE TO REALLY BOAST ABOUT.

OUR GOAL WHEN SOMEONE CALLS 911 IS FOR OUR DISPATCHERS TO ANSWER THAT 911 CALL IN LESS THAN 10 SECONDS, 90% OF THE TIME.

AS YOU SEE, WE HAPPENED IN 99.27% OF THE TIME, 2024.

THEN FROM THE TIME THAT THEY ANSWER 911, AND THEN REMIND YOU WE HAVE TO DISPATCH FOR COLLEYVILLE, SOUTHLAKE, WESTLAKE AND KELLER.

WE HAVE TO TRY TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S FIRE, EMS, OR PD, OR ANIMAL CONTROL RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED.

THINK ABOUT THE MINDSET OF PEOPLE WHO CALL 911.

SOMETIMES IT'S NOT AS EASY TO GET INFORMATION FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE EMOTIONAL, THEY'RE DISTRESSED, THEY'RE STRESSING OUT.

OUR GOAL IS TO GET THEM DISPATCHED IN LESS THAN 90 SECONDS.

THEY'LL BASICALLY ANSWER THE PHONE, DETERMINE WHAT RESOURCE THEY NEED AND GET THAT CALL DISPATCHED, AND THEY DID IT IN AN AVERAGE OF 31 SECONDS.

OUR PATROL RESPONSE TIME TO PRIORITY ONE CALLS.

THAT'S OUR MOST EMERGENCY CALLS.

OUR GOAL AS A DEPARTMENT IS LESS THAN 5 MINUTES.

THEY DID IT FROM THE TIME THE 911 CAUSE ANSWER TO THE TIME WE WERE AT YOUR HOUSE WAS 4 MINUTES AND 58 SECONDS, AND THE DRIVE TIME FROM THE TIME THE OFFICERS GET DISPATCHED TO THE TIME WE'RE AT YOUR HOUSE IS 4 MINUTES AND 25 SECONDS AND THAT IS WESTLAKE SPECIFIC.

I WAS ASKED IF THAT'S A COMBINATION OF WESTLAKE AND KELLER STATS.

THAT IS WESTLAKE SPECIFIC THE LAST ONE IS OTHER PRIORITY CALLS.

PRIORITY 2 AND 3, WHICH AREN'T THE EMERGENCY CALLS, BUT YET PEOPLE NEED THE POLICE.

WE'RE GOING TO COME. IT COULD BE A DELAYED CALL.

FOR 2024, OUR GOAL WAS LESS THAN 12 MINUTES.

WE DID IT IN 9 MINUTES AND 18 SECONDS.

THIS YEAR THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN 2025, WE'VE CHALLENGED OURSELVES TO KEEP OUR GOAL AT LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP CHALLENGING OURSELVES TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THE BEST RESPONSE TIME WE CAN.

THE BOTTOM LINE, TIMELY SERVICE IS RESPECTIVE CITIZENS THIS IS A SLIDE THAT I'M NOT GOING TO READ TO YOU.

IT'S BEEN IN THERE IN YEARS PAST.

THIS WAS THE MOST RECENT WESTLAKE AND WESTLAKE KELLER SPECIFIC SURVEYS THAT WE HAVE DATA FOR FOR 2022, AND IT'S VERY, VERY GOOD THINGS, BUT I DID WANT TO PROVIDE THAT FOR THE CITIZENS WHO WANTED TO REVIEW THIS PRESENTATION, WHO ARE WATCHING IT ONLINE.

BUT THE ONE THING THAT I WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE NEW PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE SIMILAR TO WHEN WE HAVE DENTIST OR DOCTOR'S OFFICE APPOINTMENTS, AND WE'LL GET TEXT MESSAGES OF REMINDERS OF THE APPOINTMENT AND THEN AFTER THE APPOINTMENT, IT'LL BE A QUICK SURVEY TO SEE HOW WE DID WE ARE DOING THAT NOW.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED CERTAIN CALL TYPES, OBVIOUSLY, NOT THE MORE AGGRESSIVE CALL TYPES, THE DOMESTIC DISTURBANCES.

WE'RE NOT SITTING THEM A TEXT SURVEY.

BUT THERE'S CERTAIN TYPE OF DELAYED CALL TYPES, PROPERTY CRIME CALL TYPES THAT WILL GAUGE OUR DISPATCH SERVICES AS WELL AS OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT SERVICES.

IT JUST STARTED IN MARCH OF 2024, AND THAT'S JUST AN INITIAL RESPONSE OF THE OVERALL CITIZEN RESPONSE FOR THIS SERVICE.

I WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND GIVE MORE DATA FROM THIS SURVEY.

BUT THIS IS SO I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO SURVEY OUR CITIZENS.

THE SURVEYS GO OUT TO FOLKS THAT A LOT

[00:40:01]

OF TIMES DON'T EVEN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR SERVICES.

IT'S THEIR PERCEPTION OF OUR SERVICES.

THIS IS OUR USERS, THOUGH BOTH SURVEYS PROVE WORTHY. QUALITY OF SERVICE.

YOU CAN SEE OUR POLICE SERVICES AGREEMENT WAS $1,261,291.

YOU SEE THE TOTAL CALLS FOR SERVICE FOR WESTLAKE, AND THAT SHOWS THAT THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE PER CALL FOR SERVICE WAS $76.68.

I WANT TO REMIND IN COMPARISON, ALSO, THERE IS THE CITY OF KELLER COST PER CALL FOR SERVICE.

I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THERE IS A CRIME CONTROL BUDGET THAT KELLER HAS THAT PAYS FOR VEHICLES, MOTORCYCLES, CAPITAL NEEDS, THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS POLICE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WESTLAKE.

THAT IS SOMETHING 100% PAY THROUGH THE CRIME CONTROL DISTRICTS SALES TAX IN KELLER, AND ALL DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH IT.

THOSE ARE BENEFITS OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE THAT ALL DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR. GOOD THING.

YOU CAN SEE A SNAPSHOT OF OUR DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY BE OUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF AS WELL AS OUR SWORN STAFF.

YOU CAN SEE IT BROKE DOWN DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR DEPARTMENT AS IT WAS ON DECEMBER THE 31ST OF 2024.

THAT POPULATION WAS THE NIGHTTIME POPULATION FROM DATA USA OF 2023 FROM THE WESTLAKE WEBSITE.

THAT'S JUST A BREAKDOWN OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS IN OUR DEPARTMENT.

I THINK OUR DIVERSITY FROM NOT JUST THE FEMALE REPRESENTATION, BUT ALSO THE DIVERSITY WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT IS VERY POSITIVE.

IT TRENDS ACTUALLY ABOVE THE AVERAGE FOR POLICE DEPARTMENTS AROUND THEY IN 2024 YEAR IN REVIEW, YOU CAN SEE TOTAL CALLS FOR SERVICE.

IN MOST OF THESE, I HAVE OUTLINED WHETHER THEY'RE WESTLAKE SPECIFIC OR TOTAL CALLS FOR SERVICE.

BUT SO FOR WESTLAKE SOLELY, CITIZENS CALLS WAS 1003 95.

YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF OFFICER INITIATED CALLS THERE.

THEN YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL CALLS THAT CAME INTO NETCOM DISPATCH THAT WERE ACTUALLY ENTERED INTO CAD AND THEN ADDED WITH FD CALLS FOR SERVICE PLUS THE 911 CALLS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE A REGIONAL JAIL, SO YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF INMATES THAT CAME INTO OUR JAIL, AND THEN WE HAD 200 WESTLAKE ARRESTS.

WE HAD A TOTAL OF 4,836 ANIMAL CONTROL CALLS FOR SERVICE.

AGAIN, THAT'S TOTAL SERVICE AREA, AND THAT INCLUDES ROANOKE AND THEN FRAUD NUMBERS, WE HAD 60 CALLS FOR SERVICE FOR WESTLAKE FOR ANIMALS, AND THEN THE LAST NUMBERS THERE ARE TOTAL SERVICE AREA.

OPEN RECORDS REQUESTED AND POUNDED OUT. YES, SIR.

>> THE ARREST THAT YOU'RE SHOWING SAYS 200 WESTLAKE ARREST.

THAT'S 200 ARRESTS MADE IN WESTLAKE.

>> IT'S LIKE CITIZENS.

IT'S IN THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE. YES, SIR.

ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT IS 114 GET THAT BENEFIT.

JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT FOR YOUR EDIFICATION, WE HAD FIVE DIFFERENT RECRUITS THAT GRADUATED FROM THE TARRANT COUNTY COLLEGE BASICS ACADEMY.

WE HAD AN INITIAL ONE THAT GRADUATED FROM REGIONAL ACADEMY IN ARLINGTON.

THEN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, JUST SHOWED SOME SUPERVISORY LEADERSHIP SCHOOLS THAT WE TEACH OUR FOLKS BECAUSE I'M A VERY BIG PROPONENT OF YOU NEED TO NETWORK AND YOU NEED TO EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THE PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRY STANDARDS OUT THERE AND DON'T SETTLE FOR WHAT WE KNOW AND ALWAYS CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT THE CURRENTS ARE.

WE CHALLENGE OUR SUPERVISORS AND BASED ON EACH PROMOTION THAT THEY OBTAIN, WE HAVE SPECIFIC SCHOOLS, WHETHER IT'S LOCAL OR AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT WE'LL SEND THEM TO JUST ADVANCE THEIR EDUCATION.

YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PROMOTIONS THAT WE HAD THIS YEAR.

THE ONE ON TOP, I PUT CAPTAIN RYAN COE BECAUSE HE CAME TO US FROM TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AND HE WAS A LIEUTENANT THERE, SO IT IS TECHNICALLY A PROMOTION TO CAPTAIN.

IF YOU ALL WERE NOT AWARE, WE CHANGED THE TITLES OF CAPTAIN TO DEPUTY CHIEF NOW.

YOU WILL NO LONGER BE SEEING CAPTAIN IN OUR RANKS AND THERE'S SEVERAL REASONS FOR THAT, BUT IT'S TO MAINTAIN THE INDUSTRY STANDARDS, AND IT IS TO REPRESENT BASICALLY A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY DON'T LOOK UPON THE TERM CAPTAINS AS THEY DO A DEPUTY CHIEF.

IT'S THE SAME JOB, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THE CHIEF AND THE TITLE MAKES IT MORE MEANINGFUL TO.

WE DID THAT IT'S A CURRENT PATTERN GOING AROUND IN THE PROFESSION, SO WE WANTED TO STAY UP FOR THAT.

YOU CAN SEE THAT WE DID A REALLY GREAT JOB OF SAVING LIVES, AND THOSE ARE ALL NETCOM DISPATCHERS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO LIFE SAVING AWARDS IN 2024.

WE WILL BE HONORING THEM AT OUR ANNUAL AWARDS BANQUET.

WE HAD TWO RETIREMENTS, ONE FROM DISPATCH OF 27 YEARS AND ONE FROM THE SWORN RANKS, LIEUTENANT CRAIG BERRY, HE WENT OFF TO BE TRYING TO BECOME A AIRLINES PILOT.

THIS IS A LOT OF DATA, AND THIS IS REALLY JUST FOR YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE, AND IF ANYONE IS UNAWARE OF THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS FOR OUR DEPARTMENT,

[00:45:04]

I'VE TRIED TO BREAK IT DOWN, BASICALLY, WE HAVE A NATIONAL AND A STATE ACCREDITATION PROGRAM.

OUR NATIONAL ACCREDITATION HAS 463 LAW ENFORCEMENT STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE TO ACHIEVE AND OUR COMMUNICATION DISPATCHING STANDARDS IS 210.

THIS LAST YEAR, IT WAS WE DID A VIRTUAL WEB BASED ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DO LEADING UP TO THE ONSITE THAT WE DO EVERY FOUR YEARS.

THE NEXT ACCREDITATION IS OUR TEXAS ACCREDITATION.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE AGENCIES DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE NATIONAL STANDARD.

TEXAS OFFERS A STATE ACCREDITATION PROGRAM OF 173 STANDARDS.

WE DO BOTH. WE WERE THE FIRST AGENCY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO DO BOTH.

I THINK FRISCO JUST DID IT AND NOW THEY'RE THE THIRD, AND WE STILL MAINTAIN BOTH.

THEN YOU CAN SEE, WE FIRST GAINED OUR NATIONAL ACCREDITATION IN 2006, OUR DISPATCH CENTER IN 2018, AND WE HAVE FIRST OBTAINED OUR TEXAS ACCREDITATION IN 2013, AND THE WHOLE ACCREDITATION PROCESSES ARE COMPLETELY FUNDED THROUGH THE CRIME CONTROL PREVENTION DISTRICT ACTS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT WE COULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE IF IT WASN'T FOR OUR REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS.

HERE ARE THE VARIOUS CONTRACTS THAT WE ARE WITH AND THE AGENCIES AND CITIES THAT WE PARTNER WITH FOR THESE SERVICES.

YOU CAN SEE FROM POLICE SERVICES DISPATCHING, JAIL, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OUR SWAT TEAM AND OUR CRASH RECONSTRUCTION TEAM, AND THEY PROVIDE OUTSTANDARD SERVICE THAT IS ALL PART OF PARTNERING WITH KELLER POLICE DEPARTMENT.

ALSO IN THE PACKET THAT I PROVIDED TO YOU IS THE RACIAL PROFILING REPORT THAT WE'RE REQUIRED BY LAW TO SUBMIT EVERY YEAR.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALSO RECEIVED THAT.

WE WERE COMPLETELY IN COMPLIANCE OBEYING AND ADHERING TO ALL THE APPLICABLE LAWS WITH NO CONCERN.

AND I KNOW I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF INFORMATION REAL FAST, BUT WELCOME TO ANY QUESTIONS.

>> QUESTIONS. NO QUESTIONS, BUT IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE THE STATISTICS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR TOWN.

IT'S EVEN MORE ENCOURAGING TO SEE THE FORWARD LOOKING EFFORTS THAT YOU'RE MAKING IN YOUR DEPARTMENT IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO BE AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND ALL THE SOFT SIDE OF WHAT IT IS TO BE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT, AND WE'RE VERY PRO TO HAVE YOU AS OUR POLICE STAFF.

THANK YOU, SIR. WE ARE FOR SCHEDULE.

>> IT'S GOOD TO SEE A BIG CHANGE IN KELLER TOO BECAUSE THAT REFLECTS ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING OVERALL.

I LIVED THERE FOR 12 YEARS BEFORE WE MOVED TO WESTLAKE AND BEEN HERE A LITTLE OVER EIGHT YEARS NOW AND THE DEPARTMENTS EVOLVED QUITE A BIT AND GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. APPRECIATE THAT.

>> IF HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THIEF?

>> I JUST HIT FIVE YEARS.

>> FIVE YEARS.

>> YES, SIR.

>> I STARTED COMING IN HERE RIGHT AFTER YOU LISTENING AT COUNCIL MEETING.

>> TIME FAST, SIR.

>> I REMEMBER WHEN YOU DID THESE FIRST YOUR FIRST REPORT ON LIKE THE METRICS AND HOW YOU LOOK AT IT OUTSTANDING.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GATE HONOR TO BE HERE.

>> YOU GOT TO BE REALLY PROUD OF OFFICER DAVIS FROM WHAT WE DID EARLIER TONIGHT.

>> I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR WHAT HE DID AND IT JUST S THAT WAS A HUGE EXAMPLE TO THE REST OF OUR FOLKS HOW IMPORTANT ALL THESE TRAINING SESSIONS THAT WE DO ARE FOR CPR.

THEY'RE LIKE, COOL, I'M GLAD IT WASN'T ME.

BUT THEY'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR HOW HE PERFORMED, AND I THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR HONORING HIM.

>> I'LL TELL HIM THANKS AGAIN.

>> SURE. YES, SIR.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANKS, CHIEF.

>> MAYOR, BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA, CAN WE MOVE ITEM E2 TO THE APRIL 15TH?

[E.2. Westlake Academy International Baccalaureate (IB): Exploring Westlake Academy Through Our Podcast (Michelle Briggs, Westlake Academy Director of Innovation and Development)]

AGENDA ITEM G1, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER APPROVING WESTLAKE ACADEMY RESOLUTION 25-05.

ACCEPT THE TEXAS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REPORT FOR 2023, 2024 AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. DR. RICHIE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THAT WAS A LOT, WASN'T IT? THAT WAS A MOUTHFUL.

>> IT'S A LOT [LAUGHTER] IT HAS BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS.

>> THIS IS A TEA REQUIREMENT THAT WE PRESENT THIS REPORT TO YOU GUYS.

[00:50:03]

WHAT YOU SAW IN THE PACKET IS VERY DENSE.

MOST OF IT WILL BE USED INTERNALLY FROM A SCHOOL PERSPECTIVE WITH OUR PRINCIPALS AND OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERS TO REALLY DIG INTO THAT DATA, WHICH REQUIRES A LOT OF DESEGREGATION.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE GO BACK TO AS WE ARE SETTING GOALS AND AS WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW WE HAVE DONE IT AS A SCHOOL.

A LOT OF WHAT YOU GUYS SEE ARE SOME OF THOSE INITIAL NUMBERS THAT COME OUT AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER, I THINK WE DID THIS IN SEPTEMBER WITH THOSE VERY INITIAL REPORTS FROM THE STATE.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION.

I TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW IT'S NORMALLY PRESENTED.

TYPICALLY, WHEN THIS COMES OUT, WHAT HAPPENS IS WE GET WHAT'S CALLED A STATE REPORT CARD, AND IT TAKES THAT REALLY DENSE INFORMATION AND IT CONDENSES IT INTO SOMETHING THAT IS MORE USABLE AND IS MORE EASILY CONSUMED BY STAKEHOLDERS.

IT'S BASED ON AN ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM THAT RATES EVERY SCHOOL AS AN A THROUGH F RATING, AND SO IT JUST TELLS DEVELOPERS, IT TELLS PARENTS THAT ARE LOOKING TO MOVE, IT TELLS YOUR STORY FOR YOU AS TO HOW WELL THAT YOU'RE DOING.

OF COURSE, DISTRICTS WILL ARGUE WHETHER OR NOT THEY BELIEVE THAT THAT RATING ACCURATELY REFLECTS WHAT THE STATE SAYS IT IS, BUT THOSE RATINGS FOR THIS YEAR ARE TIED UP IN LEGAL ACTION IN TRAVIS COUNTY, AND SO THOSE HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED THE WAY THAT THEY NORMALLY WOULD BE.

THAT GIVES YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON WHY YOU'RE NOT SEEING THE VERY PRETTY PICTURE OF HOW THIS NORMALLY WOULD COME OUT TO SCHOOLS AND TO STAKEHOLDERS.

WHAT THEY WILL LET YOU DO IS IF YOU EMAIL WITH THEM, THEY WILL TELL YOU THE MATH THAT GOES INTO FIGURING THOSE RATINGS AND THEY WILL LET YOU DO IT BY HAND.

MRS. BRIGGS AND I WORKED ON THAT.

BEFORE SPRING BREAK, WE EMAILED BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WESTLAKE ACADEMY WAS DOING.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU. I'M SORRY, YES.

>> KELLY, THE TRAVIS COUNTY DEAL, THAT'S OVER THE TEA.

THERE'S LITIGATION GOING ON.

>> LITIGATION. I THINK 121 SCHOOLS PROTESTED THE RELEASE OF THESE.

BECAUSE AS I MENTIONED, IT POTENTIALLY IMPACTS DEVELOPERS AND POTENTIALLY IMPACTS COMMERCE, PEOPLE MOVING THERE.

A LOT IS WRITING ON YOUR RATING.

>> THE PEOPLE WHO GIVE REPORT CARDS TO STUDENTS DON'T WANT WORKING ON THEMSELVES. I LOVE THAT.

>> [LAUGHTER] YES. IT'S A LOT OF IRONY.

>> PERFECT.

>> WE DID CONFIRM WITH TEA, THESE ARE ACCURATE, SO WE'RE NOT COMING TO YOU WITH SPECULATIONS.

THIS IS THE EXACT MATH THAT THEY USE IF THEY WERE GOING TO PRINT OUR REPORT CARD FOR US.

WESTLAKE ACADEMY HAS AN OVERALL RATING OF AN A, AND THEN EACH OF THE SUBCATEGORIES, THOSE DOMAINS LISTED UNDERNEATH, DOMAIN 1, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

THOSE ARE LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT OUR STUDENTS PERFORMANCE ON STAAR.

THE COLLEGE, CAREER, MILITARY READINESS STANDARD, EVERY SCHOOL IN TEXAS IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR MEETING THAT STANDARD WITH ITS STUDENTS SO THAT THEY KNOW WHEN THEY LEAVE OUR INSTITUTION, THEY HAVE A PLAN FOR WHERE THEY'RE GOING NEXT.

THEN ALSO OUR OVERALL GRADUATION RATE, WHICH MOST YEARS IS 100%.

OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THERE'S BEEN JUST A TINY LITTLE BLIP HERE AND THERE, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE'RE RUNNING 100% WITH OUR GRADUATION RATE.

DOMAIN 2, WHICH IS SCHOOL PROGRESS, LOOKS AT ACADEMIC GROWTH, WHICH MEANS THEY ARE TAKING EACH STUDENT AND THE WAY THOSE STUDENTS ARE MEASURING ON STAAR, AND PARTICULARLY READING IN MATH, AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO SEE, DID THEY GAIN A FULL YEAR'S WORTH OF GROWTH IN ACADEMIC AREAS BEFORE THEY LEAVE US THE NEXT YEAR? IT'S ALSO LOOKING AT RELATIVE PERFORMANCE.

HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SCORING AS COMPARED TO SCHOOLS THAT ARE MOST LIKE US? WE DON'T GET TO PICK WHAT THOSE SCHOOLS ARE.

WHAT'S DIFFICULT ABOUT THIS AT OUR SCHOOL IS OUR DIRECT COMPETITORS ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE RIGHT HERE.

WHO ELSE COULD YOU GO TO? BUT THESE ARE SCHOOLS ALL OVER THE STATE.

THEY PUT US IN WHAT THEY CALL COMPARABLE GROUPS AND THEN RATE US BASED ON HOW THAT LOOKS. YES, MIKE.

>> KELLY, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PROGRESS, IS IT GRADE BY GRADE PROGRESS?

>> YES.

>> IF YOU'RE GOING FROM GRADE 2 TO GRADE 3, THEY'RE LOOKING AT WHERE THE STUDENTS STOOD AT THIS POINT.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

THEY ACTUALLY FOLLOW THE STUDENTS BASED ON THE SCORES THAT THEY ACHIEVE IN ONE GRADE LEVEL AND THEN THE SCORES THAT THEY ACHIEVE IN ANOTHER GRADE LEVEL.

WHAT HAPPENS ON STAAR IS EVERY STUDENT IS RATED AS EITHER DID NOT MEET,

[00:55:06]

SO THAT WOULD BE THE VERY LOWEST LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT.

THEY DIDN'T MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF THAT SCHOOL YEAR.

THEY'RE APPROACHING IT, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE GETTING THERE.

THEY MEET IT, WHICH MEANS THEY ARE ON GRADE LEVEL, OR THEY'RE CALLED MASTERS LEVEL, WHICH MEANS THEY'VE EXCEEDED THOSE EXPECTATIONS.

THE GOAL IS TO HAVE STUDENTS GO UP A CATEGORY, WHERE THEY CAN.

OBVIOUSLY, IF THEY'VE GOTTEN TO MASTERS, YOU'VE MAXED OUT ON THAT.

BUT THEN YOU NEED TO KEEP THEM THERE [LAUGHTER] YOU GET DOCKED FOR THAT IF YOU DON'T.

THAT'S DOMAIN 2.

DOMAIN 3 IS CLOSING THE GAPS AND TO PUT IT IN ITS MOST SIMPLE TERMS, WHEN YOU'RE CLOSING THE GAPS, YOU'RE LOOKING AT HOW YOUR SOCIOECONOMIC GROUPS COMPARED TO WHAT IS TYPICALLY WHATEVER THE HIGHEST SOCIOECONOMIC GROUP IS AT THE SCHOOL.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ECONOMICALLY-DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS.

THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THAT COMES IN.

CLOSING THE GAPS IS LOOKING AT HOW DO OUR SUBGROUPS COMPARE TO THE MAJORITY GROUP ON CAMPUS? THE AREA FOR GROWTH THERE IS THAT DOMAIN 2, WHICH IS THE SCHOOL PROGRESS.

WHAT THAT TELLS US IS, WE ARE NOT MAXIMIZING THE OPPORTUNITIES TO MOVE STUDENTS UP IN THOSE AREAS WHERE THEY CAN MOVE UP.

WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS WHO ARE EITHER AT APPROACHING, OR MEETS AND THEY'RE NOT GETTING FROM APPROACHING TO MEETS OR MEETS TO MASTERS.

THOSE ARE ON OUR RADAR.

THEY'VE BEEN ON OUR RADAR SINCE WE'VE VERY FIRST STARTED HAVING THESE DISCUSSIONS BACK REALLY IN THE SUMMER WHEN WE WERE VERY FIRST GETTING THIS DATA.

>> KELLY, WHAT HAS THAT NUMBER BEEN IN THE PAST? HAS THIS GOTTEN BETTER OR WORSE?

>> NO, I THINK FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS SINCE WE'VE HAD REALLY GOOD BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF LITIGATION AROUND THIS, SO THINGS HAVE BEEN DELAYED, THEY'VE BEEN POSTPONED.

FOR A WHILE, IT WAS JUST STANDARD.

EVERYBODY KNEW THEY WERE GETTING THEIR RATINGS.

WESTLAKE ACADEMY, WE'VE BEEN RUNNING AS.

AS FAR AS THE DOMAINS GO, I'D HAVE TO DIG A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THAT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER IN ONE OF MY ADMIN GROUPS IS THERE.

WE HAVE TO REMEMBER, THERE WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE MORE CHAOS IN THE SCHOOL LAST YEAR THAN WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PREFERRED.

>> YOU THINK? [LAUGHTER]

>> IT'S POSSIBLE THAT DOMAIN 2 WILL LOOK VERY DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR JUST BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF A LITTLE MORE STABILITY.

>> THAT'S REALLY WELL PUT.

[LAUGHTER]

>> WE'RE DOING REALLY REFLECTIVE WORK WITH THE PRINCIPALS AROUND THAT.

>> GOOD. THANK YOU.

>> THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT.

WITH THAT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

>> KELLY, THANK YOU. I NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

FIRST IS WE DID THE SNAP PRESENTATION.

I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT OR HAS A QUESTION? IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE TEA REPORT? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

NEXT, WE GET INTO REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS, DISCUSS,

>> WE'RE CHECKING THE BOX.

>> AFTER MAY 3RD, THEN WE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE THE NEW MEMBERS COME IN AND TAKE THEIR OATH OF OFFICE.

>> I WILL TAKE A VOTE ON THIS.

[01:00:02]

BUT LET ME JUST AS THERE WAS NO OFFICE OPPOSED TO THE MAY 3RD, 2025 ELECTION, COUNCIL WILL NOW TAKE ACTION TO COMPLETE THE BUSINESS OF CANCELING ELECTION AND CLEARING THE UNOPPOSED CANDIDATES TO OFFICE.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE?

>> SO MOVED.

>> CAN I GET A SECOND?

>> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR?

>> AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

THANKS. H2, DISCUSS,

[H.2. Discuss, consider and act to adopt Ordinance 1020 approving text amendments to PD, Planned Development District No. 3-5A generally located at the intersection of and along State Highway 114 and State Highway 170 (Jason Alexander, AICP, CEcD, Deputy Town Manager)]

CONSIDER AND ACT TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1020 APPROVING TEXT AMENDMENTS TO PD, PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, NUMBER 3-5 A, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 114 AND STATE HIGHWAY 170. ALEXANDER.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

MAYOR, TOWN COUNCIL, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS TO PD NUMBER 3-5A.

THIS PARTICULAR PD, PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WAS ADOPTED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL BY ORDINANCE NUMBER 769 ON FEBRUARY 22ND, 2016.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PD IS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH RESIDENTIAL USES AND COMMERCIAL USES MAY COEXIST IN PROXIMITY.

HERE IS AN AERIAL GENERALLY SHOWING THE PROPERTY.

YOU SEE THE JUNCTION OF STATE HIGHWAY 170 AND 114, AS WELL AS CHARLES SCHWAB WAY COMING THROUGH AND GENERALLY DIVIDING THE PROPERTY FROM ITS CORPORATE CAMPUS TO THE SOUTH.

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF PHOTOGRAPHS THAT GENERALLY SHOW THE PROPERTY, OR I SHOULD SAY THREE.

IN TERMS OF THESE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS, I DO WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME TALKING ABOUT A FEW SECTIONS.

THEIR PURPOSE IS REALLY TO PROVIDE THE THREE FOLLOWING OUTCOMES.

IT'S TO REFINE STANDARDS FOR LAND USE TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS WITHIN THE AREA.

ENSURE THAT ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN DESIGN STANDARDS ARE ELEVATED FOR STRONG PLACEMAKING, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AS IT RELATES TO AESTHETICS AND ENSURING THAT ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS REFLECTIVE AND REPRESENTATIVE OF WESTLAKE, AND FINALLY, PRODUCING A COHERENT AND COORDINATED APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT.

THAT IS REALLY REFLECTED IN THIS FIRST SECTION 1.1 WITH THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE THAT SUPPORTS A PHASE APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY.

THERE IS AN IMAGE THAT FOLLOWS AND I WILL SPEAK MORE TO THIS ON THAT IMAGE.

ESSENTIALLY, IT REQUIRES THAT THERE BE A REVISED DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT BE PROVIDED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION AND TO THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

PART OF THAT IS ENSURING THAT THE ALLOCATION OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS UNDER THIS PD AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, THAT THEY CAN BE INTEGRATED INTO DEVELOPMENT IN A WAY THAT IS FLEXIBLE FOR THE DEVELOPER AND IT'S ALSO APROPOS FOR THE MARKET.

AS IT IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, IT COULD CREATE SOME CONDITIONS WHERE THE RESIDENTIAL USE IS INTEGRATED WITH THE COMMERCIAL USES MAY NOT PENCIL OUT, AND NOT ONLY THAT I MAY NOT PENCIL OUT, BUT IT MAY NOT CREATE THE HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT THAT'S ENVISIONED FOR THE TOWN CENTER, PURSUANT TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

I'LL HAVE MORE ON THAT ON A FOLLOWING SLIDE.

SECTION 1.3 IS PROPOSED LANGUAGE TO MODIFY EXISTING DEFINITIONS.

SOME OF THOSE DEFINITIONS CAME BEFORE YOU WITH THE PREVIOUS TEXT AMENDMENT OR PROPERTY THAT'S OWNED BY THE APPLICANT ALONG US HIGHWAY 377, AND THAT INCLUDES LOT COVERAGE WHICH SIMPLIFIES THE PROCEDURES FOR CALCULATING HOW LARGE A BUILDING CAN BE, RATHER THAN A COMPLICATED FORMULA SUCH AS FLOOR TO AREA RATIOS.

IT ALSO ADDS A NEW DEFINITION FOR MURALS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT DEFINITION BECAUSE THAT IS NOT DEFINED NOR STATED ANYWHERE WITHIN THE SIGN REGULATIONS FOR THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE.

THESE ARE TYPES OF ITEMS THAT FUTURE-PROOF THIS PD, PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, AND ALSO PROVIDE THE FLEXIBILITY NOT JUST TO THE DEVELOPER, BUT ALSO TO STAFF TO WORK TOGETHER ON FUTURE SITE PLANS.

STAYING ON SECTION 1.1, YOU SEE HERE, WE WILL CALL THIS PLAN NORTH EAST, THE FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, THAT IF THE TEXT AMENDMENTS AS PROPOSED AND PRESENTED TONIGHT ARE APPROVED BY TOWN COUNCIL, THEY WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE FIRST 16.4 ACRES.

THAT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE CHARLES SCHWAB BUILDING.

THE FUTURE 37.9 ACRES, THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE REVISED DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO COME

[01:05:03]

BACK AND TO SHOW HOW RESIDENTIAL USES, COMMERCIAL USES CAN BE INTEGRATED IN A WAY THAT REALLY CREATES EVEN MORE OF A STATEMENT ALONG TWO KEY TRAFFIC ARTERIES WITHIN THE REGION.

THAT'S WHY THIS IMAGE IS INCLUDED AND ATTACHED, AND IT ALSO SHOWS THE WILLINGNESS OF DEVELOPER TO BE A LONG-TERM PARTNER WITH THE TOWN, ON NOT ONLY JUST THE EXECUTION OF THIS PD, PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, WITH THE TEXT AMENDMENTS AS PRESENTED, BUT THE TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND PROSPERITY.

>> SECTION 2.1 INCLUDES PROPOSED LANGUAGE TO AMEND THE LAND USE TABLE.

SEVERAL KEY CHANGES INCLUDE THE INTRODUCTION OF GROCERY STORES AS A USE PERMITTED BY RIGHT.

IT ALSO WOULD ALLOW FOR A RESTAURANT SERVING ALCOHOL TO BE PERMITTED BY RIGHT, WHILE REQUIRING A DATA CENTER HAVE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT THAT WOULD REQUIRE REVIEW AND A RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND APPROVAL BY TOWN COUNCIL.

THE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN ARTICLE 3 GENERALLY DEAL WITH BUILDING SETBACKS, BUILDING HEIGHT, BUILDING FOOTPRINTS, AND OTHER ELEMENTS FOR THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.

I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T SHARE THAT AS PART OF THE BUILDING HEIGHT, THERE IS A PROVISION THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR BUILDINGS WITHIN 660 FEET OF HIGHWAY 114 AND/OR 170 THAT ARE FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES NOT TO HAVE A LIMITATION ON HEIGHT.

THAT IS TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPER TO GO MORE VERTICAL AS THE MARKET DEMANDS FOR THAT, WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK AND MAKE FURTHER AMENDMENTS TO THE PD.

AGAIN, THAT'S RESTRICTED ONLY TO NON-RESIDENTIAL USES, AND THOSE USES ARE WITHIN 660 FEET OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF THOSE HIGHWAYS.

>> CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT THAT TOPIC, ABOUT BUILDING HEIGHT? IS THAT THE NORM IN MOST PDS LIKE THIS, WHERE WE WOULD HAVE NO RESTRICTION ON HEIGHT, OR WAS IT BECAUSE THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION WAS LOW, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD SURPASS THAT IF THE OPPORTUNITY CAME? I'M JUST THINKING THE RIDICULOUS.

IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO BUILD A 100-STORY BUILDING, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE RESTRICT THAT, OR WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THAT ON A CASE-BY-CASE, REMOVING THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION.

>> YES, SIR. IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH, ACTUALLY.

THE EXAMPLE THAT REALLY COMES TO MIND FOR ME RIGHT NOW IS GOING BACK HOME TO ATLANTA.

THERE IS A CLASS A SHOPPING MALL, PHIPPS PLAZA, THAT IN ORDER TO STAY RELEVANT WITHIN THE RETAIL MARKET AND BUCKET, DECIDED TO GO VERTICAL AND ADD MORE OFFICES AND RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

THERE WASN'T A LIMITATION ON THE HEIGHT OF THOSE BUILDINGS, WHICH HELPED TO RE-INVIGORATE THAT SHOPPING CENTER AND REALLY THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.

TAKING A PAGE OUT OF THAT BOOK FROM AN URBAN PLANNING PERSPECTIVE, AND REALIZING THAT THE TEXT AMENDMENTS AS PRESENTED, THEY NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEMPORARY FLAIR TO THEM, THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS BOTH UNIQUE TO THE PD, BUT IT'S ALSO MOVING THE DIRECTION OF INDUSTRY NORM.

>> COULD YOU HOLD ON JUST A SECOND? WE LOST A FORM. COUNCILMAN GAUTIER LEFT, SO WE'LL GIVE HIM A SECOND TO COME BACK.

>> SIR.

>> GOOD CATCH, MAYOR.

>> I DON'T WANT TO GET YELLED AT AGAIN. [LAUGHTER].

>>NO CORRECTION NEEDED.

>> I'LL EMBARRASS HIM.

THIS TECHNICALLY CAN [INAUDIBLE] ALL THE TIME.

[INAUDIBLE] YOU HAVE TO DO THIS [INAUDIBLE]

>> [INAUDIBLE] NOT TO DISCOUNT YOU, MIKE.

WE CAN START. BUT CONTINUE.

>> YES, SIR. SIR, DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ON THE BUILDING HEIGHT?

>> THANK YOU.

>> YES, SIR. IN TERMS OF THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR SLOPED AND FLAT ROOFS, AS THE TEXT IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, IT REQUIRE EIGHT IN 12 ROOF PITCHES, WHICH IS MORE COMMON FOR RESIDENTIAL USES AS OPPOSED TO NON-RESIDENTIAL USES, WHICH MAY HAVE A MIX OF FLAT AND/OR SLOPED ROOFS.

IT GIVES THE DEVELOPER THE OPTION TO USE FLAT OR SLOPED ROOFS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AS WELL AS FOR RESIDENTIAL ATTACHED STRUCTURES OR TOWN HOMES.

[01:10:02]

IF THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ARE DETACHED, IT WOULD REQUIRE SOLELY AN EIGHT IN 12 ROOF PITCH.

THERE'S ALSO PROPOSED LANGUAGE THAT DETAILS REQUIREMENTS FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THE PRINCIPAL INTERESTS INTO BUILDINGS.

AGAIN, WANT TO PROVIDE MORE OF THAT VISUAL INTEREST AND ARCHITECTURAL VARIETY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

SECTIONS 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, THOSE DEAL PRIMARILY WITH ADDING A TREATMENT THAT URBAN DESIGNERS CALL FRONTAGES, AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT THOSE FRONTAGES DO IS THAT THEY ENCOURAGE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AT THE GROUND FLOOR.

IS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR GLAZING ON THE FIRST FLOOR FOR SHOP FRONTS, REQUIRING THAT BUILDING FACADES BE PROHIBITED WHERE LOCATED ALONG A STREET OR A CIVIC SPACE, AND THEN REQUIRING PORCHES AND STOOPS FOR RESIDENTIAL PRODUCTS TO CREATE MORE OF THAT WALKABLE ENVIRONMENT THAT IS KEEPING IN TUNE IN IN ALIGNMENT WITH A TOWN CENTER.

THEN, FINALLY, SECTION 4.14 DEALS WITH PROPOSED LANGUAGE THAT REGULATES MURALS, THAT RESULTS IN IMAGES SUCH AS THIS.

IN SOME, THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS, THEY DO SUPPORT LAND USES AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS THAT ARE NOT ONLY APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA AND CONSISTENT WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN, BUT THEY ALSO HELP TO CREATE A STRONG STATEMENT VISUALLY FROM HIGHWAY 114 AND HIGHWAY 170.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, WHEN THEY RECEIVED THIS ITEM, THEY DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS PRESENTED ON MARCH 12, 2025.

THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS PRESENTED. I WILL PAUSE THERE.

I DO BELIEVE THAT THE APPLICANT IS HERE, AND WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS SHOULD YOU HAVE THEM.

>> WHEN DO WE GET STARTED?

>> AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND I THINK THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT SITE PLANS AS EARLY AS NEXT MONTH.

>> NO KIDDING. VERY EXCITING.

>> THANK YOU ALL.

>> I'D REALLY LIKE TO ALSO THANK ROBERT SPAN AND ERIC ROD WHO ARE HERE TODAY.

JUST A GREAT AMOUNT OF NEGOTIATION THAT WENT ON DURING THIS PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT IT'S A GREAT DEVELOPMENT FOR WESTLAKE, BUT ALSO MEETS THE NEEDS OF HILLWOOD THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

>> NO DOUBT.

>> IT'S FANTASTIC WHAT WE'RE DOING, REALLY IS.

THE WORK THAT YOU TWO ARE DOING WITH OUR DEVELOPERS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.

WE NEED TO SET A STANDARD.

HE WILL UNDERSTAND, WE'LL KNOW WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO STRIVE FOR.

I JUST COMMEND YOU.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I KNOW Y'ALL PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD THIS ENOUGH, BUT THANK YOU TO HILWOOD.

EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR WESTLAKE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO FOR WESTLAKE.

WE'VE GOT A LOT GOING ON, IT'S VERY EXCITING, AND ECHO HIS SENTIMENTS.

DO I NEED A MOTION ON HERE, JASON TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 1020?

>> MOVE IT.

>> CAN I GET A SECOND?

>> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR?

>> AYE.

>> AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES, JASON. THANK YOU, SIR.

H3: DISCUSS, CONSIDER,

[H.3. Discuss, consider and act regarding Resolution 25-11 appointing a Capital Improvement Advisory Committee for the purposes of advising the Town Council on the adoption of Impact Fees for Water, Wastewater and Roadway Facilities under Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code and declaring an effective date (Cheryl Taylor, P.E., Director of Public Works)]

AND ACT REGARDING RESOLUTION 25-11 APPOINTING A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADVISING THE TOWN COUNCIL ON THE ADOPTION OF IMPACT FEES AND WATER, MONDAY AFTER SPRING BREAK.

WASTEWATER AND ROADWAY FACILITIES UNDER CHAPTER 395 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

CHERYL, HOW ARE YOU?

>> GOOD. GOOD EVENING. WELCOME BACK FROM SPRING BREAK.

>> PARTIALLY.

>> AS YOU MAY RECALL, IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, THE COUNCIL APPROVED A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR AN IMPACT FEE STUDY.

AS A RAPIDLY GROWING COMMUNITY, THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WATER, WASTEWATER, AND/OR ROADWAY IMPACT FEES THAT WILL ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COSTS OF NECESSARY FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

NEW DEVELOPMENT CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE TRAFFIC ON ROADWAYS, WATER CONSUMPTION, AND WASTEWATER VOLUMES.

IMPACT FEES ARE A ONE-TIME CHARGE ASSESSED TO NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE METHODOLOGY OUTLINED IN CHAPTER 395 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

THE FEES ARE BASED ON LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, EXPECTED POPULATION GROWTH, AND CORRESPONDING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND EXPENDITURES NECESSARY TO SUPPORT THAT GROWTH.

THAT BRINGS US TO THE ITEM ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA: THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 395 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

THE COMMITTEE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE IMPACT FEE PROCESS AS THEY PROVIDE

[01:15:02]

RECOMMENDATIONS ON LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TO THIS GOVERNING BODY.

FOR THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

OUR CONSULTANT DID PROVIDE A PRESENTATION TO THE P&Z AT THEIR MARCH 11 MEETING WHERE THEY WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AS A COMMITTEE.

THIS EVENING, WE HAVE ANDREW FRANCO WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS.

HE WILL BE PROVIDING A BRIEF STATUS UPDATE ON THE IMPACT B STUDY AND THE ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE.

AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, WE WILL NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO THE CONSULTANT?

>> COUNCIL.

>> EVERYBODY VISIT, MAKE JOHN FEEL BETTER.

>> CAN Y'ALL HEAR ME?

>> GOOD.

>> THANK CHERYL. LIKE CHERYL SAID, I WAS BACK HERE IN OCTOBER AND WAS TALKING DOING JUST A LITTLE BIT OF AN INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE IMPACT FEE PROCESS IN GENERAL.

WE'VE STARTED WORK ON THIS, SO I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE A QUICK UPDATE.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE, WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE GROWTH, JASON'S PRESENTATION TODAY, AND SOME OF THE OTHER ACTIVITY THAT THEY ALL ARE DOING.

CHERYL KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED AS WELL, THERE'S THAT EXTRA BURDEN PLACED ON OUR WATER SEWER, AND ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS. BUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS DO A STUDY AND AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT COULD A POTENTIAL FEE STRUCTURE LOOK LIKE IF THE TOWN WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROCESS.

BY COMMISSIONING THE STUDY, BY APPOINTING THIS COMMITTEE, DOING ALL THESE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE MADE NO DECISIONS AT THIS POINT.

WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU GUYS LATER THIS YEAR WITH NUMBERS, WITH INFORMATION.

THAT'S GOING TO FURTHER ALONG THE PROCESS, BUT ULTIMATELY ANY DECISION THAT'S MADE IS GOING TO BE MADE BY THE TOWN COUNCIL.

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR FROM THE GET-GO THAT WE HAVEN'T PRODUCED ANY NUMBERS YET AND WE'RE NOT TO THAT POINT YET.

HERE WE ARE AT THE VERY EARLY STAGES OF THE PROJECT.

LIKE CHERYL SAID, WHO'S GOING TO HELP PAY FOR SOME OF THIS GROWTH? WE HAVE SALES TAXES HELP TO PAY FOR ROADWAY PROJECTS, YOUR WATER BILL HELPS PAY FOR PROJECTS RELATED TO YOUR WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS. REALLY, WHAT THE IMPACT FEE PROGRAM IS, IS AN NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING MECHANISM THAT CAN BE UTILIZED TO HELP PAY FOR GROWTH-RELATED IMPROVEMENTS.

AS WE GET INTO IT LATER ON IN THE STUDY, YOU'LL SEE WE'RE ONLY GOING TO IDENTIFY PROJECTS THAT HELP SERVE GROWTH.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT PROJECTS THAT DON'T SERVE NEW GROWTH, MAYBE SOME O&M OR SOME OTHER RECONSTRUCTION.

THE FEES THAT YOU COLLECT CANNOT BE USED FOR THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS, THEY CAN ONLY BE USED ON GROWTH-RELATED PROJECTS.

BY HAVING THESE FEES IN PLACE, WE HELP SUPPLEMENT AND ESSENTIALLY SUBSIDIZE THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED FOR PAYING FOR OUR GROWTH. THAT'S THE TAGLINE.

GROWTH PAYS FOR GROWTH.

IT'S THE BELIEF THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT SHOULD PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE ADDITIONAL BURDEN THAT THEY DO PLACE ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

CHAPTER 395 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE ARE THE STATUTES THAT WE ABIDE BY IN DOING THIS PROCESS.

THE METHODOLOGY IS LAID OUT AND WE WANT TO FOLLOW ALL THE PROPER RULES AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE PROCEDURES AND HOLDING ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATIVE COMPONENTS OF RUNNING THE PROGRAM.

IF YOU DO ENTER INTO A FEE PROGRAM, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED BY STATE LAW TO REVISIT AND UPDATE THE STUDY EVERY FIVE YEARS.

REALLY, WHAT THAT DOES IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FEES ARE COMPARABLE TO THE AMOUNT OF GROWTH THAT YOU'RE HAVING IN YOUR CITY.

IF YOU'RE GROWING A LOT MORE AND YOU HAVE A LOT MORE KNEES, YOU CAN RAISE YOUR FEES.

IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING AS MUCH, YOU CAN LOWER YOUR FEES BECAUSE THE DOLLARS AREN'T GOING TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH-RELATED PROJECTS.

THAT'S WHY WE DO THAT LOOK OF SAYING, THESE FEES ARE PROPORTIONAL TO HOW WE ARE GROWING HERE IN WESTLAKE.

>> CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT IT?

>> YES, SIR.

>> MAYBE I'LL LET YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE FIRST BEFORE I ASK THE QUESTION.

DON'T ANSWER NOW.

>> WHAT CAN WE PAY FOR UNDER THIS PROGRAM? WE'RE ESSENTIALLY TALKING ABOUT THOSE GROWTH-RELATED PROJECTS.

THE CONSTRUCTION, SURVEYING, ENGINEERING, LAND ACQUISITION, AND DEBT SERVICE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE TYPES OF PROGRAMS. I'LL TALK ABOUT WATER, SEWER, AND ROADWAY FACILITIES.

ON THE WATER SIDE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDITIONAL WATER SUPPLY, PUMP STATIONS, TANKS, WATER LINE, SEWER LINES, LIFT STATIONS, ALL THINGS UNDER THAT UMBRELLA.

IF WE IDENTIFY THAT A CAPITAL PROJECT HAS CAPACITY TO SERVE GROWTH, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM.

>> BY IMPLICATION, THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTRIC SERVICE.

[01:20:03]

TRI-COUNTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

TRI-COUNTY HAS IMPACT FEES ASSOCIATED WITH ITS SERVICE, YOU KNOW?

>> I ACTUALLY DO NOT KNOW.

CHAPTER 395 REALLY LOOKS AT WATER, SEWER, ROADWAY, AND DRAINAGE.

ARE THE FOUR COMPONENTS THAT ARE UNDER THAT STATUTE.

THE ELECTRICAL ARE NOT A PART OF THAT STATUTE.

THE PROCESS HERE WE ARE WITH DEVELOPING THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS.

I WAS ALSO HERE EARLIER IN 2024 TO TALK ABOUT THE WATER MASTER PLAN PROJECT THAT WE'RE DOING AS WELL.

WE'VE REALLY STARTED DEVELOPING WHAT THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS LOOK LIKE.

BUT WHAT'S THE PROFILE OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS OVER THE NEXT 10, 20 YEARS HERE IN WESTLAKE? THOSE ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT THAT ARE ALREADY MOVING FORWARD, DEVELOPING THOSE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS, THE IFCIP IMPACT FEE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

WE'LL HAVE THREE DIFFERENT CIPS THERE FOR WATER, SEWER, AND THE ROADWAYS BEING GENERATED AND THE WASTEWATER ALSO IN THE WORKS AS WELL.

AFTER WE DO THAT, YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCHEDULE SLIDE HERE IN A MINUTE, WE WILL HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS AS PART OF THIS PROCESS.

FIRST PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE TO REVIEW AND ACCEPT THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

FROM THERE, WE'LL GO BACK AND DO THE CALCULATIONS TO SEE WHAT THE FEE STRUCTURE COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE.

WE USUALLY START WITH WHAT'S THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE THAT THE STUDY ASSESSES? THEN WE DO SOME BENCHMARKING WITH SOME NEIGHBORING UTILITIES AND FIGURING OUT WHAT'S RIGHT FOR WESTLAKE.

WE'LL DO THOSE CALCULATIONS.

THEN WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT SECOND PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AND ADOPT A PROGRAM OR NOT? BUT SKIPPED OVER THE BOX ABOUT THE CIAC, WHICH IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR TONIGHT.

STATE LAW DOES REQUIRE THAT THERE'S AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT'S GOING TO PROVIDE REALLY INPUT AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL, DO THE TECHNICAL COMPONENTS OF THE STUDY, ARE THEY RIGHT FOR WESTLAKE, THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE OVERALL PROCESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

TALK ABOUT PROVIDING COMMENT ON THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS, THE CALCULATIONS, AND THEN THEY WILL BE PROVIDING THOSE WRITTEN RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL AHEAD OF THOSE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

FROM THE SCHEDULE STANDPOINT, YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE ME AGAIN IN A MONTH DOING SOME SIMILAR INFORMATION.

I THINK EDUCATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THESE TYPES OF PROGRAMS, MAKING SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE WELL INFORMED, THE PUBLIC IS WELL INFORMED.

AGAIN, IF WE DO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS REALLY THE WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHERE, AND WHENS OF ASSESSING IMPACT FEES.

THAT WILL BE NEXT MONTH IN JUNE 3.

THAT WILL BE THAT FIRST PUBLIC HEARING TO APPROVE THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

THEN THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING, SEPTEMBER 2, TO REVIEW THE CALCULATIONS, THOSE BENCHMARKING, AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

THAT IS A LOOK AT THAT SCHEDULE.

THIS IS THAT SAME INFORMATION.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS WATER MASTER PLAN, DOING SOME OF THAT BACKGROUND WORK, AND WE'VE GOT A LOT OF MEETINGS COMING UP HERE OVER THE NEXT PROBABLY SIX, SEVEN MONTHS.

WITH THAT, I WILL LEAVE IT OPEN IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

>> COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS?

>> THE WORK WELL DONE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 25-11? MOTION MOVED, CAN I GET A SECOND?

>> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR?

>> AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSE MOTION CARRIES.

AGENDA ITEM 8.4,

[H.4. Discuss, consider and act regarding WA Resolution 25-04 approving and adopting a policy that allows for staff to be paid during emergency school closures. (Dr. Kelly Ritchie, Head of School)]

DISCUSS CONSENT ACT REGARDING WA RESOLUTION 25-04, APPROVING AND ADOPTING A POLICY THAT ALLOWS FOR STAFF TO BE PAID DURING EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSURES, DR. RICHIE.

>> TONIGHT, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A POLICY THAT WOULD HELP US BE A LITTLE MORE PROACTIVE THAN WHAT WE ARE RIGHT NOW WHEN IT COMES TO EMERGENCY CLOSURES OF THE SCHOOL.

THE STATE REQUIRES THAT STUDENTS HAVE 25,600 MINUTES OF STUDENT INSTRUCTIONAL TIME EVERY YEAR.

ANY MINUTE LOSS DUE TO AN EMERGENCY CLOSURE, WE ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE UP.

IN ADDITION, THERE'S 187 CONTRACT DAYS FOR TEACHERS.

WHEN WE BUILD THE CALENDARS WHEN WE PASSED THE CALENDAR LAST MONTH OR MONTH BEFORE LAST, WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS PEOPLE PLAN AROUND THOSE CALENDARS, THEY PLAN TO GO ON VACATION OR BE DONE OR A MYRIAD OF THINGS BECAUSE WE'RE GIVING THEM AN OUTLINE OF WHAT THEIR YEAR SHOULD LOOK LIKE, BUT THE STATE REQUIRES US TO THEN MAKE UP THAT TIME.

TYPICALLY, WHAT'S HAPPENING IS, WE HAVE TO ADD THOSE DAYS TO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH THEN DOES INTERRUPT POTENTIAL PLANS.

WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A POLICY TO PROACTIVELY ADDRESS THAT.

[01:25:04]

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS TRYING TO ADOPT A POLICY FOR STAFF TO BE PAID DURING AN EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSURE FOR UP TO FIVE DAYS.

THAT WOULD COVER US REALLY FOR ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST PROBABLY I DON'T KNOW, 10, 20 YEARS HERE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE EVER BEEN OUT.
