Good evening, Mr.

Mayor, City Council, and City of Murphy representatives.

My name is Luke Trohan, Financial Advisor with Alt Traha and Wealth Management here in Murphy and current chairman of the Murphy Chamber of Commerce.

Today is my final time representing the Chamber of Commerce as its chairman as my term ends at the end of the year.

I am pleased to introduce to you a known face in the chamber, Paul Brown, who will be succeeding me as chairman.

Additionally, I would like to formally introduce for the first time Ty Lake, who is our newly hired executive director.

From out of sixty-two candidates we were able to identify Ty as a leading contender for the position.

Ty's background demonstrates a rare combination of vision, collaboration, and results from strength strengthening business economies to leading marketing and engagement efforts to organizing special events.

She has consistently elevated organizations and communities.

We are thrilled to welcome her leadership to Murphy.

This year has been a challenging year as chairman and acting director, balancing the needs of the chamber with my business seeds.

So I apologize for my absence the last few couple of months from this meeting with the chamber updates.

I am excited to work alongside Ty over the few uh next few months as we make strides to update technology within the chamber, communication within our members and community, increased participation with the same, and envision an even greater partnership with the City of Murphy.

2026 will be an amazing year for our city and for the Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to news, our business card exchange this week on Thursday will be moved to Murphy Community Center, located at 205 north of Murphy Road from 8 a.m.

to 9 a.m.

Anyone interested in meeting Ty should come on Thursday morning for an opportunity to meet with her.

The remaining two business card exchanges on Thursday mornings will be at the Murphy Activities Center.

We will not be hosting on Christmas Day or New Year's Day.

So hopefully you'll be spending that time with your families.

On this Saturday, we encourage everyone to participate or volunteer with a jingle jog or Christmas in the park.

On Sunday, December the 14th, we will have a grand opening and ribbon cutting celebration with our Well Yemeni Coffee, one of our newest members.

We encourage everyone to attend as there will be a bounce house for kids, a camel, and plenty of activities.

The ribbon cutting itself will be held at 2 p.m.

with festivities until 5 p.m.

Finally, it has been my honor to represent the chamber with the city of Murphy these past two years as chairman.

I'm not going anywhere, and we'll be still here to support Paul and Ty in the future of the Chamber.

For any questions, please contact Ty Lake at info at MurphyChamber.org or 972-805-3749.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

All right.

Next public comment is Mr.

Maynard Little.

Maynard Little, 100 St.

Mark Drive.

Good evening, all.

Several months ago I stood before you and stated that despite read it uh repeated claims to the contrary, some of the business of the city is far from transparent.

City consultants, staff, and council members have used deception to avoid transparency.

Where there is deception, there is no transparency.

If all is transparent, there is no deception.

Deception can be achieved via numerous forms, lies, ambiguous or evasive language to avoid direct answer, concealment, exaggeration, understatement, half-truth, gas lysing, fabrication, and false accusations.

I provided examples of past deception and lack of transparency.

When a resident asks a question or requests an explanation regarding city business and never receives a response, this lack of response is a form of deception.

I have posed questions to each of you numerous times and often get no response.

In fact, two of seven council members have never responded.

A few weeks ago, in an email exchange with a council member, a council member accused me of posting lies regarding the Murphy Veterans Tribute and city support, concluding with an extremely uncivil comment.

Here is what I posted quote while the city can find the tax dollars to fund various non-essential variety vanity projects, rocks for dirt mediums, redundant sidewalks, which diminish green space and increase drainage issues, lighted bridges to nowhere, bike repair stations and solar lights for a basketball court.

Apparently, there's not enough tax dollars to, at the very least, match those raised by the veterans group working on the project.

I attempt to re to research and fact check every post that I make.

As stated, gathering all the facts is very difficult, even impossible.

And I would welcome additional data that proves I was misinformed.

From all I have been able to obtain, the statement I made is factually true.

I challenge the council member to list all of the quotes that the member considered lies.

False accusations are yet another form of deception.

If any elected or appointed official falsely accuses a constituent, that official should not hold office and should resign.

Thank you.

On to mayor's report.

Yeah, I we're good.

I don't have anything additional.

Anybody have anything they want to add?

All right, we'll move on to presentations.

We have any presentations or something on here.

Move on to City Manager Staff Reports.

All right.

Mayor and Council, this Saturday, the Jigal Jog and the Reindeer Dash will take place at Murphy Central Park.

And the race will begin at 8:30 a.m.

Later that day on Saturday, Christmas in the park will begin and go from 4 p.m.

to 8 p.m.

at Murphy City Hall Complex.

And then our next City Council meeting will be next year, January 6th, 2026.

All right.

Very good.

Looking forward to Christmas in the park.

Hopefully the weather is nice.

Moving.

Moving on to item eight, individual uh consideration, 8A, consider and our act on the November 18th, 2025, regular council and work session meeting minutes.

Candy.

Anything to add?

No, sir.

Well, take a motion.

Mayor, I move that we approve the minutes as presented.

Second.

I have a motion, second.

All those in favor?

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed.

Motion passed unanimously.

Consider and our act on the establishment of the public art in the Murphy program to be funded by the establishment, established community enhancement grab program, including the purchase of two pieces of public art.

Reagan.

Good evening, Mayor and Council.

It's a pleasure to be here tonight on this really to have something kind of fun to discuss, a new idea for us as a community.

So in October, I presented the annual economic development report to give you an idea of what's going on in our community from an economic development standpoint, and I ended with this slide with what's next, and uh kind of preparing for the future and giving you a couple of photos and a couple of quotes from our strategic plan that City Council has adopted that state enhanced gateways and visual appeal, create engaging places to gather, and there's actually another that I'd like to state ensure parks have modern amenities.

These are all goals that were established this year through this plan.

Currently in the city of Murphy, I want to talk a little bit about the kind of public art that we have in our community.

Uh, and what uh staff uh seeks to propose to you to uh begin this discussion and process of potentially establishing an art program in our city.

Currently, the city of Murphy has one mural that's really the only form of public art in our city.

It's located at the Murphy Activity Center across the street on Murphy Road.

Um it's been become a pretty um iconic image for us.

It's been used for many photo ops.

It's quite beautiful, it's holding up well and looks good, and uh it's been a fun uh addition to our community since uh that was put in place and recently uh the city has taken on the task of partnering with the Murphy Veterans Tribute to say this itself.

Yeah, I know to uh to get this project uh moving in a new location uh starting in September.

This partnership was created.

The city is uh continuing to contribute staff time to this uh to this project and has previously contributed funding towards the project as well.

We look forward to this potentially being the first uh 3D form of public art.

The goal is to have it in place in in May.

But prior to the uh taking up of this task of the Murphy Veterans Tribute, staff was contemplating the idea of uh an art installation somewhere in our city, and that uh discussion has continued.

Um staff was kind of looking at what are the kinds of themes and the type of art that could be most appropriate for uh City of Murphy Complex and the City of Murphy in general.

So a couple of things that we took into consideration.

2025 marks 20 years of the Murphy Municipal Complex, a set of buildings that kind of have a distinct design.

We have a very bucolic, unique campus, kind of rustic campus that is further enhanced by uh uh parks improvements that are more rustic and metallic in theme, as shown here.

And we took this kind of uh concept and began looking for an artist that could potentially be someone that the city could partner with.

Um obviously there are many out there.

There are many who may um work well, but there's one in particular who have I I've actually been able to meet personally.

Uh Dale Rogers is an artist out of Massachusetts.

He travels around the United States to various art shows.

I met him last year before I had returned here to Murphy in the uh for at the City of South Lake Art in the Square event.

He had some of his large core tin steel sculptures there, and I can tell you that they were the hit of the crowd with kids climbing all over them, people taking pictures with them.

He encourages pictures, handing out information.

He was a very engaging fellow, and we had a really wonderful discussion.

Um, and so uh Carter, if you would please play a little video.

Um he has a little promo video that I would like for you to see.

So you can be introduced to Mr.

Rogers.

Hello, my name is Dale Rogers.

I'm a metal sculptor from Haver, Massachusetts.

I've been metal sculpting now for about 14 years, and it's been something that I've been passionate about my whole life.

One of the trends that we are seeing right now is that more and more campuses are trying to place public art or large-scale art on their campus.

We've placed large monumental size sculptures at about six or seven different high schools.

I have some work on Southern New Hampshire University campus.

That's a school that I graduated from.

It was a lot of fun.

We also created a smaller scale exhibition for the University of New Hampshire.

They gave us an idea of the space that they wanted us to fill, and they gave us a budget to work with, and then we came in and said, well, what are the strengths for New England?

And one of the strengths that we have are the seasons.

So the metal work on all four sculptures was identical.

And then we incorporated glass.

And so the glass represented all four seasons.

We had green leaves, we had the fall foliage, we had spring flowers, and then we had some blue and white for the winter month.

We had green leaves, we had the fall foliage, we had spring flowers, and then we had some blue and white for the winter months.

The educational component of bringing art to campuses.

When people see that, they start to understand that it's not just the art that's getting pushed forward as a creating process or the creative profit.

Teaching kids about that component is one of the things that I think is going to be driving the economy in the future.

So when looking for uh someone to engage with, um it would certainly be important to find someone who's reputable, has worked with municipalities, uh, creates easy to maintain art as a as a city and create arts that fits the theme.

And personally, in talking with Mr.

Rogers, looking at other options out there, I felt that uh his work could be something that Murphy should consider sincerely.

And uh in looking through his catalog, now most of what you saw in that video, well not most, but some of those pieces are custom made.

Those custom-made pieces are obviously very time consuming to create and a little more expensive.

He does have a catalog of work that is easy to order from, more cost efficient, and is prepared and more ready to create these structures and deliver to communities across the United States.

Upon looking through his catalog, these are the two pieces that were reviewed, um were considered by staff to be good potential initial pieces for acquisition.

These two pieces were brought to the MCDC MDD board for their consideration.

Um I would say they uh approved this, they enthusiastically approved it.

They were very intrigued by this work and these styles, and were very excited that we were considering using this funding in this way to move in a direction of creating a public art program.

The reasoning for these two pieces, um, I'll move ahead here so you can see the location of all of the art that's proposed this next year.

Is uh the owl first and foremost is pretty well known to be associated with government, right?

The owl is a wise creature.

I think we all hope as staff and I'm sure as council to lead the city in a wise manner.

Um it's representative of that.

And then across the pond, uh, which would be on the north side, uh, we thought about placing a dog here, a little more contemplative, kind of looking across the pond at his friend across the way.

The thinking is as two animals, they're kind of perhaps friends looking at each other across the pond.

Uh animals are obviously everybody loves dogs, right?

And you might also gather that the dog could be a little bit of an homage to uh uh Apple over in the fire department.

So it's kind of a friend that that uh looks like Apple.

And then, of course, the Veterans Tribute uh bronze statue is going to go on the east side of the campus.

And so considering this, the requests tonight are uh first our city council uh minable to approving the purchase of these pieces of art, or would you like us to go back to the drawing board?

I will note again the MCDC and MDD board recommended approval unanimously moving in this direction.

Uh the idea would be to use the community enhancement grant funding towards this purchase.

There's 15,000 budgeted there now.

It's estimated that we would need an initial five, an additional five thousand.

That would either be gotten through cost savings elsewhere or a potential budget amendment if needed, but that would be in the future.

The community enhancement grant is not expected to have any applicants this year.

It's been primarily used for the veterans' tribute and the uh historical society over the past few years since those are the veterans' tribute will soon disband upon the completion of the tribute in the historic society is turning into the HRAC, which is on your agenda tonight.

Um we really don't have any uh you know individuals who we can foresee apply.

And then also requested tonight is guidance on whether you feel a public art program is desired long term.

Um this may include several actionable items in the future.

That's creation of an arts council.

Uh staff would prefer a committee uh consisting of a mix of existing board members that would be city council members, MCDC, Parks Board, and this committee would evaluate sites, consider art options throughout uh the country.

Um then obviously there would have to be some form of dedicated funding.

Funding would likely come from MCDC as a parks improvement.

The idea of developing of public private partnerships may be necessary if we decide to encourage the placement of these kind of pieces of work on privately held land.

I will say that Phillips Edison has expressed some light interest in this idea.

Of course, they're always interested in drawing individuals to their site.

And then of course, maintaining and promoting these art installations for the future, and then also again promoting them through social media, uh website, marketing, etc.

And again, there are many cities that can be studied studied.

There are many peer cities in the region who have uh art programs.

Um just a few are listed.

Um I'm pretty familiar with South Lakes, obviously.

I think theirs is world-class, Wiley, of course, our neighbor has one with several pieces of of work throughout the city that could be studied.

There's a lot of peer cities that can offer guidance to establishing such a program.

And so that concludes my presentation.

I'm more than happy to hear any feedback you might have, any direction you might have, thoughts about the art pieces, ideas, and looking forward to hearing from you all tonight.

What is the cost of the maintenance?

The maintenance of these are virtually none.

Um the core 10 steel um is intended to rust, obviously, and it remains there.

I suppose in a hundred years it could rust through.

The uh the maintenance of the veterans tribute would just be the continual um edging and trimming and things around it.

So and that was particularly designed to be as low maintenance as possible.

And what are the cost of these sculptures, the dog and the owl?

The total cost including installation is estimated to be $20,000.

So my two sense is I don't like the art.

Okay.

But I like the program.

So I do think that we need to probably go back to the drawing board or maybe some additional choices of what art would look like.

Um I I just don't like these pieces in particular.

They weren't really my favorite.

Maybe that the dog, possibly, but I you had another thing on there for us to talk about, which was if we wanted to go forth with a program.

Sure.

Um so my thought on this is first, I'd like to see how well received this is by the public.

Um I think they probably would like it.

Um, but before we start to get a board together, like if there's interest in the city, people seem to really like it, then I think we go back or we come back to this and then come up with the committee at that point.

Um those are my two cents on that one.

Well, I absolutely love this.

I like the concepts.

Uh I've had many people over the years ask me about public art and Murphy.

I inquired about getting public art in Murphy back when I was on the parks board ten, twelve years ago.

Back then we didn't have a budget for it.

We didn't have a program in place.

We didn't have you know an arts committee.

And so for years I've wanted this.

And personally, I think what the city staff has done kind of putting this presentation together is fantastic.

I, for one, really like the artwork that's been picked out.

I think it's very appropriate.

It's contemporary, it's it's you know, it's it's modern and it fits the city of Murphy.

It's not it's not it's very it's not political, it's not, it doesn't like speak to a certain people, it's just you know, an owl and a dog.

And I I really like it.

I would I would move forward if it were if it were just me.

So I think we need options.

I don't think that we need to just the first thing that we see we need to go with, we may come back to this and say, you know what, the dog and owl, perfect.

Let's go with that.

But I'd like to see more options before we have some spend that amount of money and have this sitting there in a public space for a long period of time.

Um so I just want to make sure that we're making the right decision and that we have just other things to look at before we make that decision.

I agree.

And Reagan, I'm a little indifferent on the art.

I mean, I can live with it or not.

I'm not overly excited about it, but I guess for the I'm looking more the money, the money spent in this budget, in this fund, we could use this for something more functional, other than art.

And we could use it for a covering for the amphitheater.

I mean, there's a lot of options that we have here other than just the art.

Is that correct?

Yes.

To me personally, I would like to see maybe some more options outside of the art.

Let me back up for a second.

What Reagan left out of his presentation, not on purpose.

But this he kind of introduced this as a continuation of the master plan process that we've been going through, right?

But this also draws directly back to the process we went through in February with the strategic plan and community character and doing things that are going to enhance community character.

So I just want to put that out there as well.

We always consider the functionality of our parks, and we've talked about, I think, through and during the last budget process about adding enough equipment out there so that bands can just show up and kind of be ready, you know, some functional pieces in that area.

So this is just another component of getting to community character and really setting ourselves apart where where our identity as a community is concerned.

So I just want to add that real quick.

I think what I would like is it's been a long time since I've really looked at depth or strategically at the MCDC budget.

Um, you know, what's in it, what's what what is dedicated and allocated that we must pay out of that, what's it what it what is it bringing in, uh, you know, and what is our you know, our long-term plan for the revenue that's coming out of there.

Uh do we have big projects that we'd like to plan for, or is this subject just to little things?

I think when we're talking about um managing against uh against the budget, I think it needs to be a little bit bigger uh than just say, uh, yeah, we get pocket change over here.

You know, 20K here, 20K there, 20K, eventually it starts to become uh you know a lot of money.

So I I think before I start agreeing to, okay, let's let's do this, and I think you know there may be things we really want to do.

I think we need to have a strategy around that fund and how we're how we're managing it.

Okay.

So I think that makes a lot of sense.

Um, but in general, I do really love public art and think that we should come up with a strategy that includes more of it.

Um I hesitate like like Janae was saying, to just go with the first thing that we've seen without options or without an art count uh art council to give us input.

I think it's really important to get community input on what we're doing with something like this.

But I think having public art draws people into the community, it gets talked about, it makes people want to come here and get excited.

I mean, I think it's an important thing for us to do to develop that character that we're looking for.

Okay.

Great direction.

Yes, I think.

Yeah, yeah.

We'll come back with some next steps.

Great, sure.

So this item will be tabled.

And thank you for taking this and working on getting us moving forward in public art.

And thank you.

I think the city manager brought it up too about we were hearing some things in the master plan process too that kind of led to this.

So but thank you, and we will work on this.

Thank you.

All right.

Uh item C consider interact on the amendment of the revamp grant program guidelines.

Reagan.

Good evening again.

Oh.

PowerPoint went away.

There it is.

Thank you.

Uh so again, Mayor and Council, uh, this revamp grant program.

Uh I believe uh many of you were probably on council at the time it was adopted in September of 2021.

Uh revamp stands for revive and advance Murphy's prosperity.

The primary goal of this program was to uh assist in the enhancement of the physical aspects of our corridor.

Uh Murphy does have, of course, limited abilities to uh provide incentives.

These were intended to assist with various site improvements, building improvements that an individual may have along our corridor.

I just want to remember I just want to point out that this is generally uh this is intended to be simply a policy that we adopt that provides guidance to staff and applicants on what the city would consider.

Each grant would require city council and or MDD MCDC board review and approval prior to uh receiving it.

Just an overall of the changes to the grant program.

We increased the maximum grant in each category.

We are clarifying and enhancing site improvements that are we're further clear again clarifying what is allowed.

One particular thing I'm adding is we're clarifying that fire lanes are not permissible uses of funds.

I've actually had uh particular development ask if that could be used.

You could probably guess which one.

And the minimum grant uh is increased to $5,000, so that we're not doing a bunch of paperwork for for this really small grants.

We want to see a significant investment.

And grants less than $10,000 would be approved by the MDD alone.

The previous uh step, let me step through these actually, but the previous policy allowed $5,000 is just simply doubling that amount.

So these are the changes.

Um I just want to point out that since the adoption of this program, we've only had one applicant, and that was Jason's Delhi for the tree.

The current uh amounts that are in place, the current uh you know, guidance that the policy had was not attractive to the general business community.

So we wanted to up the game, make it a little more attractive for those who want to do something special in the community and enhance some of our aging uh centers and developments in our town.

So, in number one, under building improvements, you can see that I've added a clause or otherwise significantly improve a building's appearance for main thoroughfare by replacing more materials, inclusion of new visual features, but I've also made sure to add major design changes that would uh include the addition of green spaces or creating uh creation of unique gathering spaces or environments.

I think that's something that we all agree is that Murphy desires through the uh master plan process, we've heard that.

And of course, as you can see, we're upping the grant significantly.

Now, I want to again point out that this is a matching grant.

They would have to match these funds, and this is only guidance as this is the max the city will consider in this manner.

We're not saying that everybody would get 100,000 who applies.

Okay, so just want to make sure that's clear.

Number two, I have struck that and added it to just simply other property improvements below.

We're just bumping these up from five to ten thousand uh as you can see here.

So these are the kind of projects that this money could be used for.

Again, uh ineligible improvements, really.

I just re-worded the exterior improvements to just clarify that, and then uh repair, paving and fire lane that's required by fire code.

We don't want to you know offer funding for something that would be required by ordinance otherwise.

I've amended the examples that are in here.

It's simply stating if this certain circumstance occurs, this is what the grant would be.

It's fairly self-explanatory.

Just clarifying when applications should be received, they should be received in far enough advance to review and prepare them for an MDD meeting.

I'm further clarifying that we have the ability to reject any application if deemed not aligning with the goals and objectives of the city.

And again, heightening the amount that could just be approved by the MDD board without council authority if y'all would like to amend that or change that anyway, just let us know.

That's what felt reasonable in going through this.

Again, the uh MDD uh did uh approve these changes earlier this year.

It was actually a few months ago of delayed getting it to you, kind of waiting to see how the master plan was moving along, and it's very clear that this kind of program is desired to continue to be established through what we've heard through the plan.

So I hope these amendments are amenable to you, and I look forward to your input and hope we can have this new policy in place.

Somebody needs to take advantage of that parking lot.

Yeah.

For sure.

Yes.

Um how we've had it, but there are some people that reach out sometimes, sometimes it's new businesses wanting to know information, sometimes it's older businesses about how they can get money from the city to help with improvement.

So how is this marketed to the different businesses out there in Murphy?

It is something that we, at least in my time here, I have verbally been speaking to individual businesses about it.

Um it is given the lack of interest over four years, it just seemed that it was more than just the idea that it not only was it not perhaps marketed appropriately to the community, but also just the standards that are here.

I mean, a $10,000 grant is not is now in modern times, even in 21, it honestly probably wouldn't have given you much.

So moving forward, the idea is uh I'd of course like to work with the chamber, this continuing growth partnership, making sure they're aware of this.

I do want to be clear that if a private business owner who's leasing a space would like funding from this, they're going to need the okay from their landlord, the property owner themselves.

And that improvement would still be tied to that landowner and uh making sure that the building is in site is improved for the terms of the agreement.

Just want to clarify that.

Okay.

I think these numbers look good.

I think it is about time we we started to adjust these things.

I think we need the tools in order to uh encourage uh businesses to build and expand.

So just getting the word out so that they know to you know there's money there for them to get to actually you know improve their businesses.

So hopefully that will change.

So since no one has been taking advantage of it, has the money just been sitting in the fund we were just talking about?

Yes, it's just been just been sitting in MDD.

Um we do have an incentive uh balance that's um I should say uh budgeted every year to pay both incentives that we have through current 380 agreements and future 380 agreements that might come about.

Right.

And so it it if it's not spent, it just goes back into reserve.

Okay.

Okay.

Right.

And we do need action tonight just for an approval.

Appreciate it.

Uh I'll take a motion on this item.

I I I supported any debate.

No.

All right.

I'll move that we approve the admitment of the revamp grant program guidelines presented by Reagan Rothenberger tonight.

I have a motion and a second, all is in favor.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Motion pass unanimously.

Thank you, Ray.

Item D, consider and our act on appointing members to serve a one-year term on the historical resources advisory committee for places one through seven beginning January 2026.

And who was the you got this, Scott?

So who wants to take this?

I can do it.

You want it?

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Um or am I just using what I wrote?

Your uses.

Yes, you're using your notes.

I'm using my notes.

Okay.

Correct me if my notes are off, okay?

You have yourself?

Turn your I know the wishes in our own.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Okay.

So I just want to say that there was a whole lot of interest during the interviews in joining the historic resources advisory committee.

I was pleasantly surprised.

People seem really excited about it, and several of the interviewees had um very good skills that aligned with it.

One was a librarian, one was some sort of research organizer category or cat, I can't speak.

Um anyway, so it was it was actually really exciting um to find that much interest.

So we have do I need to say place one?

Okay.

So we will do place one, Jas Carr.

Oh, I need to say move that.

You got it.

Place two, Matt Rivers, place three, Julie Johnson, place four, Kendra Walden, place five, Aaron Pia Trasik, place six, Susie Gully, place seven, Heather Jones for a one-year term.

All right.

Scott, is that aligned?

Yep.

That's what I have.

And second it.

I have a motion to second all those in favor.

Aye.

Any opposed.

Motion passes unanimously.

All right.

Very good.

Item E, consider and or act on appointing a member of the animal shelter advisory committee sern serve as a one-year term as chairperson.

I'll do this one as well.

Okay.

Um so based on feedback from staff, we didn't actually let me make a side note.

We didn't actually add anyone to the animal shelter committee this time, there were no openings, so we are just voting on who is chairperson.

This is the one board, I think, that council appoints the chairperson.

So, based on input from staff and their long serving tenure of doing a great job, um, I move that we appoint Maggie Witt for a one-year term as chairperson of the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee.

Love it.

I uh motion second, all those in favor.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed.

Motion passes unanimously.

All right.
