Rules and associated costs in getting approvals for the simplest maintenance or improvement of your property have continually escalated over our 10 years of residence, to the point where the city doesn't bother to even publish the complete current process for the approvals. They just delay and deny like an insurance company until your resources are exhausted. I would strongly advise against moving your home or business to this cesspit of political power mongering.

According to their website: "Due to changes in the City's banking contracts, the City of Frisco will no longer accept Visa credit or debit cards. MasterCard, Discover and American Express credit card transactions will be charged a 2% convenience fee." As we move to a "cashless" society, Frisco is moving back to 1979. Next, they will be accepting Dinners Club or Carte Blanche cards. This does not make sense.

I tried to set up e payments through my bank and found out that the city of Frisco does not have the arrangement. (If you use a credit card and pay online via their website, of course you will be charged a convenience fee.) So, even in this paperless, high-tech driven world, the fabulous city of Frisco needs its resident to write a check, fight the traffic amongst idiot drivers along Eldorado and Main, and walk up to their counter or send the check in via snail mail every month. Enough said about "the best place to live in the nation."

Creating a library card, placing a hold on a book and lending it on my own - All of these were pretty quick and easy. I was in and out of the library in 15 minutes. Their website is user-friendly and easy to search for books. Lastly, there are plenty of parking spots available with curbside pickup options. The only reason I couldn't give it a 5 star rating - Library was too noisy to sit & read.

Definitely recommend this to anyone who is from out of town and has kids. We spent most of our time in the kids section and it was so cool. My son is 11 months and he definitely had a blast. Most of the kids there were running around but there is a small space for babies and adults. Lots of things to do for the kids and a massive selection of books.

I paid just enough attention in civics class to pass the test. Im only half way kidding. I do know the rudiments of city,county,state and federal government. However, I haven't been as involved in local government during my life, as I probably should have been. Do you know how and why your city government works the way it does? The reason I attended tonight's city council meeting was to monitor the activity surrounding a bond issuance approved by voters in 2016! Now, you would think if the bond was approved that long ago, those items would be complete or well on the way. Not! I think you will be surprised how these things work if you look into it. I encourage everyone to be more active locally. That's where the rubber meets the road and I personally think the local governmental activity is going to be more important going forward than ever. After a citizen blitz of support activity over the last few months, the council unanimously passed a resolution to issue the bonds from the 2016s election. This included money to expand the library, road improvements,acquisition of more park land and building of fire house #6. yea! Again, I'm very surprised how this worked. In addition, the mayor issued many proclamations including, welcoming other cultures to our area and urging citizen participation. Recognition of the 13th consecutive Allen High School wrestling team State Championship! How do you do that? One of the most significant and touching moments was the recognition of a 911 dispatcher who had previously been commendated for saving a life over the phone in 2018. Last night she was recognized for saving a life on her way home after her shift ended. Wow! Ovrall I was impressed with the performance of the Mayor and City Of Allen Elected Council,the full house attendance of Allen Citizens and the spriti of community present. If you havent been involved,observed or even know about your lovcal government,there is no time like the present to... Go!!!!

Collin county is using the new electronic voting machines. You still need to have a photo ID regardless of whether you have your voting card with you. The new voting machines allow you to do a "do over" if you don't like the way your initial picks print out. I'm told you get up to 3 re-do's. I did not test this option since I got it correct the first time through. No hanging chads on this peice of paper! After printing your ballot you walk over to a second machine for your actual choices to be counted. A locked safe connected to the machine stores the paper ballots, which can be used later for audits and recounts. Regardless of how you vote, please vote so you can be heard! Otherwise, don't complain. Early voting is February 18-28! 7/2020

All this has been built in the past few years, all at once, like the town had some sort of big boom, and some civic planners sat down and tried to conjure up their own utopia in North Dallas. Parking is easy, there's garages not far from here. There's areas for little shops to give the place some flavor, but it's mostly just a well planned communal spot for events, concerts, shows, farmers markets, and other community events. This is where the courthouse, the library, and the movie theater are all located. Pre-planned to be in the perfect spots. The Frisco Square is a public place that allows for you to hang out and do some of the city planned things for free. They show movies on the lawn, ice skating (for a fee) in the winter with a set up pond. They go all out for Christmas with lights, and visits from Santa. If you work at the local Collin County offices or the hospital, this would be a good place to hang out for lunch break or something.

I've participated in several library sponsored events and they're always so well done. The hosts are organized and they communicate well with both vendors and attendees.

Their Spice Club Kit is popular among foodies and they've recently launched a Spice Club Speaker event to go along with the theme. The staff running the in-person classes are so informative and patient; they make it easy to follow along and keep it interesting. It really is a joy to visit my local library.
