55
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:33,280

four thousand four hundred ninety

61
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:46,479
miss patrick i think that we actually

62
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:48,720
read personally yeah

63
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,560
none of us we only reimburse them with

64
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,160
the revenues that we receive we should

65
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,240
not reimburse them for more

66
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:09,029
why would why

67
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:10,880
all the past years it's only the

68
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,199
revenues that uh that we've received oh

69
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:17,749
they were not no not in the red yeah

70
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:20,960
but they're not there now either

71
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:29,510
they have yeah

72
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,720
if

73
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,280
the council was so inclined to review

74
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,759
that policy

75
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:37,440
i would suggest you do it during the

76
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,360
budget process and not deviate from the

77
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,199
agreement with the rose garden committee

78
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:45,919
to

79
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:50,710
reimburse from what we've taken in

80
00:05:50,720 --> 00:06:07,270
yes

81
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,800
their permits and

82
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,240
the new thing in 2021 was the cameras

83
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,000
yeah matt

84
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
i'm just wondering if you did know i was

85
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,759
kind of curious

86
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,080
to what extent that photography did it

87
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,840
bring in any money yes it did it brought

88
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:23,840
in about fifteen hundred dollars and

89
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,120
what we're going to do next year we're

90
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,560
actually going to put a separate line

91
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,520
for it uh this year we you know we we we

92
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,440
weren't expecting to go too much

93
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,960
but you know we did better than we had

94
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,880
uh expected

95
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,880
and if if you look at uh in 2020 uh

96
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,880
we only uh they only made uh 2 600 so

97
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:59,670
this is almost a double event you know

98
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360
oh

99
00:07:03,370 --> 00:07:05,280

material for it

114
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,400

118
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,680
want to make sure that they're aware of

119
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,800
some of our requirements because we

120
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,240

00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,759
quite a while

122
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:13,680
but right now everything's trending

123
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,199
we've called for references and they

124
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:17,520
have done work for the city in the past

125
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,759
but we have a meeting with aaron and ron

126
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:21,919
set up for tomorrow to kind of make sure

127
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:23,120
that they're aware of the paperwork

128
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,560
requirements and some other things

129
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,479
before we come here officially all right

130
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:28,720
so we'll see in two weeks yes okay thank

131
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,840
you so uh number three the board meeting

132
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,680
contract for the bail tree card street

133
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:35,919
removal yep so that one

134
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,320
like i told you at the last meeting

135
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,240
i would reach out to some firms and i

136
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,640
did reach out to some firms and i have

137
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,959
uh two additional firms that i am going

138
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:46,320
to be doing that would be interested in

139
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,360
bidding

140
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,519
so i would like to put that back out so

141
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:51,600
that we could try to get at least one of

142
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,200
them to bid so we can have multiple

143
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,040
prices uh for next time i think that

144
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,880
would be the best interest of the city

145
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,440
so that one will hold permanently i just

146
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,360
wanted to make you aware of that since i

147
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,200
brought it up last time so that is going

148
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,320
to be a reboot to try to get a little

149
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,399
bit more competition okay

150
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:10,720
