Before the executive session, the presiding officer cited Texas Government Code sections 551.071 (consultation with attorney), 551.072 (deliberations about real property), 551.074 (personnel matters) and 551.087 (economic development). The council listed specific matters for closed deliberation: pending or contemplated litigation in SLC McKinney Partners LP v. City of McKinney, cause number 493019832024; deliberations about downtown city-owned property redevelopment; the city manager’s annual performance evaluation; and economic development matters described as Project Hemispheres and Project Lasso. The presiding officer stated the council would move into executive session at 4:06 p.m.

After the closed session, a council member moved “that we amend the employment contract for our city manager as discussed in executive session,” and another council member seconded the motion. The presiding officer called for a voice vote and said, “Aye.” No roll-call votes or the text of the amendment were read into the public record; the council did not specify the amendment’s terms during open session.

The council’s invocation of the cited Government Code sections is consistent with statutory allowances for confidential attorney–client consultation, personnel deliberations, real-property negotiations and economic-development negotiations. Because the substance of executive-session deliberations is confidential, the council did not disclose details of the discussion or the contract amendment in open session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","McKinney - City Council Work Session - Apr 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council moved into executive session under multiple Texas Government Code provisions and, after returning, approved an amendment to the city manager's employment contract by voice vote; the text of the amendment was not disclosed in open session.","taxTitle","McKinney, Collin County, Texas","taxId",2778,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603019,"McKinney building inspections earn ISO score of 2 for both residential and commercial enforcement",108,29000,137000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3001006-d09c862744411330a5fd19464f8b046f&start=29&end=137","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3001006-d09c862744411330a5fd19464f8b046f/thumbnail_29000.jpg","/articles/6603019/McKinney/Collin-County/Texas/McKinney-building-inspections-earn-ISO-score-of-2-for-both-residential-and-commercial-enforcement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603019-d2a8780188323ff1b1705cae37ef397b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156107&Signature=S0Ch0KuP8mt0MQmq5UTIIzxkBgT7h6RBavjeLwoGnjd1thy0Gw~SEfD6th3NR-15KQYysNkcaAVSzLLT6LgIwZcUsuGW-fmyD81xwCp18O~w~xQxUdhmn3ULKR9Yqk1Xuf7SVlAUisN3dhhN0ezpS~8jV-1SzPBNS4MutYjNYO67NJE3W5PJf0W-cxBhdArr7dwhqhw2tBhHAPgQ9RlNI2y71tWyb~welpkH72Xwk5mPAdRbSMhhByo2~42C~j4ekCbYLDCLqrr61s9ayrzU~foA2P2mkm2d-zg~QTR3QPD9H6aMAmqioO3QRUwp~pbZbIDrucK6NyKDlg0RdUUlBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A building inspections staff member told the McKinney City Council that the McKinney Building Inspections Department received Insurance Services Office (ISO) scores of 2 for both residential and commercial building code enforcement.

The announcement matters because ISO’s Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) influences property insurance rates and is widely used to compare municipal building-department rigor. The staff member said the residential score of 2 places McKinney in the top 1% of Texas building departments and the commercial score of 2 places the city in the top 2% statewide; the speaker contrasted those results with state averages of 6 in both categories.

The staff member explained that ISO’s assessment evaluates about 50 aspects of code enforcement and that the city’s recent scores reflect personnel qualifications, training and enforcement standards. “Our ISO scores are now even better,” the staff member said. The speaker reminded the council that a 2024 revision pushed residential from a 3 to a 2, and that the department’s last full assessment in 2019 had been a 5 in residential and a 4 in commercial. “A multi point increase is virtually unheard of,” the staff member said, adding that the department’s people “truly deserve the credit for this accomplishment.”

Council members congratulated the inspections team and singled out leadership. One councilmember credited Suzanne Arnold for providing direction and support that helped staff achieve the scores. The staff member also noted the department’s recent reaccreditation by the International Accreditation Service (IAS), saying that combined results show the department has been vetted to national standards.

Council discussion at the meeting focused on recognizing the inspections staff and the potential community benefits of higher ISO scores, including possible impacts on insurance rates. The staff member and council did not provide estimates of dollar savings to homeowners or businesses; that information was not specified during the discussion.

The council recognized the inspections team at the meeting; the staff member asked the team to stand so members could be acknowledged.","City staff announced the McKinney Building Inspections Department received Insurance Services Office scores of 2 in both residential and commercial enforcement, a marked improvement from prior assessments; council members recognized staff and leadership.","actionData","errors"]
