Addison staff presented an updated airport master plan and ALP; the project steering committee recommended keeping a 1,000‑foot runway‑length extension while removing width and GA parking recommendations. Council clarified the steering committee’s role, pressed on noise mitigation and eVTOL readiness, and instructed staff on final wording for Nov. 10 consideration.

Town leaders said SAP plans to consolidate regional operations into Spectrum Center at Beltline, bringing about 1,000 jobs and up to $14 million in investment after the council approved an incentive agreement on Oct. 13.

Officials said the on‑demand Addison Orbit service remains limited to town boundaries for efficiency. Town staff explained the contract with Via and said DART will fund Orbit for the next year, with roughly $800,000 listed as DART funding to the town; the town also receives $1.50 per ride.

The commission recommended approval of Unified Development Code amendments that create a park-overlay district to protect town parks, narrowed proposed hookah/cigar restrictions, and attached two amendments including tighter SUP language and a parking-relief boundary for Addison Circle.

Council approved an interlocal agreement authorizing the city manager to accept up to $800,000 from DART to reimburse Addison for Orbit microtransit service and to integrate Addison Orbit with DART's GoPass.

Chief Friess told council ALPR images are stored in AWS GovCloud, default to a 30‑day purge unless retained for investigation, are accessed only by authorized investigators, and that the department enforces audits and penalties for misuse.

With state grant funding paused, council members debated whether to subsidize ALPR cameras from local funds, with options ranging from neighborhood-only (≈17 cameras) to mid-range coverage (≈33 cameras) and continuing the full 65‑camera network while awaiting state action.

City police described ALPR capabilities and successes, but council members were warned a statewide funding pause ordered by Governor Abbott could reduce Addison's network from 65 cameras to roughly 11; council agreed to maintain coverage for now and revisit funding and policy in about two months.
