Residents raise concerns about mandatory apartment fees and political activity by public‑safety unions

Two members of the public used the citizen‑input period to raise separate concerns to council: one asked the city to examine mandatory apartment fees and bulk internet charges, and another criticized political endorsements by public‑safety unions.

Keith McDonald, a resident identified as living at 8455 Grama Street, said many Frisco apartment complexes require tenants to pay for mandatory valet trash service and bundled internet without a true opt‑out. He told council he had asked several apartment managers whether owners retained part of the fees and said managers denied keeping revenue; McDonald asserted the resident charges exceeded the companies’ per‑unit costs and asked the city to investigate and provide transparency and regulation. The council did not take action during the meeting; no staff response or policy commitment was recorded on the transcript.

James Nunn, speaking later, criticized local police and firefighter union leadership for endorsing a political candidate and said the endorsements politicize public safety and risk eroding public trust. Nunn described the endorsements as "partisan" and urged those in uniform to speak out. His remarks were delivered during citizen input and did not prompt council action at the meeting.

The meeting record shows these were public comments made during the citizen‑input portion; councilmembers thanked participants but made no policy commitments on either subject at the June 3 meeting.
