00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:07,200
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the city of Pasadena, Texas, council meeting, September 4, 2018.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,320
We'll have invocation by James Guthrie, and Councilman Shane Bond, we'll be leaving us in the prayer. Please stand.

3
00:00:22,610 --> 00:00:23,610
Is this my box?

4
00:00:25,690 --> 00:00:27,130
You say a prayer more often, won't you?

5
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:37,010
Let us pray. Lord God, have any father, we come before you, dear Lord, ever more grateful, grateful for the gift of this mayor and council.

6
00:00:37,010 --> 00:00:41,050
and the gifts that they bring to our community.

7
00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:46,630
We ask that you be with them today as they deliberate the business of the city of Pasadena.

8
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:52,410
More importantly, Lord, we thank you for the gift of life, eternal life, through the birth,

9
00:00:52,870 --> 00:00:57,590
death, and resurrection of your beloved son, Jesus Christ.

10
00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:01,570
We thank you for that eternal life.

11
00:01:01,570 --> 00:01:06,450
We ask that you bless our first responders, both police and fire.

12
00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:14,550
We ask that you bless our various school districts as they usher children back to learning for this semester.

13
00:01:14,850 --> 00:01:16,230
We ask that you keep them safe.

14
00:01:16,850 --> 00:01:19,990
All this we ask in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.

15
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:20,390
Amen.

16
00:01:21,130 --> 00:01:25,570
If you would please join me in saying the pledge to the greatest nation.

17
00:01:26,590 --> 00:01:28,630
Let's leave the scene alive.

18
00:01:29,150 --> 00:01:30,470
I'm not a citizen of America.

19
00:01:31,070 --> 00:01:33,130
To Republic, which I've just seen.

20
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:39,030
One nation, under God, indivisible, with energy and excess of us, for all.

21
00:01:39,470 --> 00:01:43,050
If you now please join me in the greatest state in the nation.

22
00:01:43,950 --> 00:01:44,630
Allegedly, please!

23
00:01:45,370 --> 00:01:46,150
Onto ourرة.

24
00:01:48,090 --> 00:01:51,090
We should leave this to you for instance, one.

25
00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:52,790
One, one, say, under God.

26
00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:54,390
And approve is indivisible.

27
00:01:54,390 --> 00:01:55,270
All

28
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,620
right.

29
00:02:01,790 --> 00:02:02,710
Good, Thomas.

30
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:06,010
I'd like to say good morning to everyone.

31
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:09,470
I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

32
00:02:10,510 --> 00:02:15,350
With all the rain, hopefully you had some good family quality time,

33
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:19,090
and maybe took in a movie, or did something special.

34
00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:20,630
And with that Mayor, I pass.

35
00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:21,530
Thank you, sir.

36
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:23,830
Can I have some blue ground?

37
00:02:24,130 --> 00:02:25,950
Thank you for being here today.

38
00:02:28,030 --> 00:02:31,090
Like, Councilman James Biden said it's been a lot of rain, there's probably going to be

39
00:02:31,090 --> 00:02:31,590
some more.

40
00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:36,230
So we appreciate everybody showing up this type of weather.

41
00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:43,470
We had the pleasure of going out Saturday to Union Cook off.

42
00:02:43,570 --> 00:02:44,870
I'll see this to Union members here.

43
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:46,190
It was great, great turnout.

44
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:50,010
It has a good music, so it was a good turnout.

45
00:02:51,090 --> 00:02:51,750
And with that I passed.

46
00:02:51,850 --> 00:02:52,530
Thank you, sir.

47
00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:53,750
Councillor interjecting.

48
00:02:53,950 --> 00:02:55,510
Like I may come out this morning.

49
00:02:56,450 --> 00:03:00,270
I want to remind everybody, if you still make plans or have

50
00:03:00,270 --> 00:03:03,950
it made plans, National Night Out Coming Up, first,

51
00:03:04,450 --> 00:03:09,130
Tuesday and October and like Councillor

52
00:03:09,130 --> 00:03:12,110
Villarreal said I went out to the BBQ Coke off,

53
00:03:12,170 --> 00:03:14,190
got some good food, met a lot of people.

54
00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:15,330
I didn't know, met some.

55
00:03:15,470 --> 00:03:18,690
I didn't know, but overall it was a good day.

56
00:03:18,950 --> 00:03:19,050
I'm sorry.

57
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:19,750
Thank you, Sarah.

58
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:20,550
The company here.

59
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Thank you, Mayor.

60
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:30,520
I guess all of you are aware that there's going to be a hurricane in the Gulf.

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Just be prepared.

62
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:38,080
It's predicted to go to Biloxia or Eastern Yarlene, but just be prepared.

63
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:41,880
And also I went to the AFLCO.

64
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:47,440
The thing that had a great time, I came out to hear some good music by the Blues Brothers.

65
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,360
I asked him play a couple of songs for him, one of them was far, far away, but they wouldn't

66
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,320
play that one.

67
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:57,900
That's a joke, far, far away.

68
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,520
But anyway, I'd like to hear a case, Jason.

69
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,000
Stay safe.

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,000
That I'll pass.

71
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:05,580
Thanks, Sarah.

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,360
You can ask me any questions.

73
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:08,540
Yes.

74
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,560
For a future reference of last name is Cassatos.

75
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,000
Thank you.

76
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:13,320
Thank you.

77
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:14,820
Thank you.

78
00:04:14,820 --> 00:04:18,020
But yeah, thank you everyone for coming out.

79
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,080
We appreciate it.

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:19,840
Many women in blue.

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
We appreciate you guys being out here.

82
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:23,600
I wish there was more seating.

83
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,240
You didn't have to stand us stand up so long.

84
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,900
But we appreciate you being here.

85
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,240
Also, like to say, we went out to the FLCL Union

86
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,720
and barbecue cookover had a great time.

87
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,880
Like the Council members before said, we got to go out there

88
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,420
and place the music out there, myself and Councilman Wheeler.

89
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:44,780
And we have a good little band.

90
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:48,020
So we played some good music and we had a great time.

91
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:49,960
Thank everyone for being out.

92
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,480
I'd also like to send my condoms out to the Bletsow family, James,

93
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,880
so see that he's passed away.

94
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,000
And then my condolences and heartfelt condolences

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,740
got to the family.

96
00:04:59,060 --> 00:04:59,500
So put that up.

97
00:04:59,560 --> 00:04:59,980
Thank you, sir.

98
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:00,760
It can't have been wheeled.

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,260
Thank you, Mayor.

100
00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:04,800
It looks like we all went out to the FLCO barbecue

101
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,280
weekend.

102
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:09,640
It was a good time last year about this time Harvey hit.

103
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,060
So it got canceled.

104
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:13,660
So it was good to see kind of life turn back to normal

105
00:05:13,660 --> 00:05:19,260
just a little bit and I know there's a hurricane in the Gulf and the city we have a great

106
00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:23,520
emergency management department here so just stay tuned if anything does happen you never know

107
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,960
how those hurricane models play out you know the spaghetti models and they they don't know

108
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,860
where the much more than any of us but they they predict it's gonna not be coming towards us so

109
00:05:33,860 --> 00:05:37,780
I'm just staying contact with the city and if anything does happen we'll let you know that'll pass thank you sir

110
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,880
I would like to thank everyone for coming out on this rainy day.

111
00:05:43,140 --> 00:05:44,720
I know we do have some seats at front.

112
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:47,000
I'd be just like a pastor at church.

113
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:49,840
Everybody wants to set out on that front.

114
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,700
Anyway, thanks to former Councilman James Guthrie for the

115
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,060
Invocation, and I'd like to congratulate the recipients of the

116
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:03,560
Service Awards this year today, Darrell, Diana, and Ed.

117
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:06,200
Thank you for all the years of service from the city of passing.

118
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:12,340
Would I pass mayor? Thank you, sir. Okay. This is one in the speak the council. Robert Jeter.

119
00:06:20,310 --> 00:06:21,170
Excuse me?

120
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:23,870
Yes. Yes, I am.

121
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,880
Before I begin I want to point out that after last meeting before I had a chance to leave.

122
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:46,060
And 83 year old woman upset over the comments I made came up to me and threatened my life right here in this very room.

123
00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:51,240
Obviously the fact that I'm still here means that threat is not credible, but I do think that

124
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,400
behavior is outrageous and almost as absurd as how this administration is treated the city budget.

125
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:03,260
Last week I had to sell my first vehicle. A white 89 Dodge Ram Charger that my family purchased

126
00:07:03,260 --> 00:07:09,040
for me back in 2008 for my high school graduation, didn't want to sell it, but after years of trying

127
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:15,120
to save up to keep it running, it became apparent that I wasn't going to happen so it sat in my driveway

128
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,020
collecting rest.

129
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,400
Rand find just could never get it to pass inspection.

130
00:07:21,340 --> 00:07:24,260
So the government does this thing called past regulations that often

131
00:07:24,260 --> 00:07:28,100
serve as barriers to make it harder for honest folks to get things done.

132
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:31,660
And government also likes to raise fines and fees to increase its own

133
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:34,060
coffers rather than leave people alone.

134
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,340
Government doesn't create wealth, it can only redistribute.

135
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,840
And in the process of that redistribution, it often destroys wealth.

136
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:46,500
My understanding is that we have a proposed tax rate increase of $6 per hundred dollars of home value.

137
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:52,340
This is more than six times the nine tenths of a penny that this council voted against last year in the wake of Harvey.

138
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:59,700
The wake council is going to justify this by saying it's for the increased insurance cost for city employees.

139
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:09,940
I believe this is true. I also believe that if the administration hadn't been engaged and grow testically excessive spending that we wouldn't need to hold employee benefits hostage

140
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:11,900
to justify the tax hike.

141
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,140
We have money for a half a million dollars on a single whole of the golf course, but not to

142
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:18,380
cover our own employees.

143
00:08:19,380 --> 00:08:24,280
If we as a city spent less on once and more on needs, we would be far more fiscally responsible.

144
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,320
I'm not saying don't pair employees what they're worth, but we should be using that as justification

145
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,280
for framing the taxpayers either.

146
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,620
Lastly, I've never been anti-coped just anti-corruption.

147
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,300
It's been brought to my attention that past the employees union has made some concessions towards

148
00:08:39,300 --> 00:08:41,240
fiscal responsibility within the city.

149
00:08:41,460 --> 00:08:45,220
I would like to commend them and Brian Lithcomb for taking the lead on that.

150
00:08:45,420 --> 00:08:45,880
Good job, guys.

151
00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:46,820
Thank you, Council.

152
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Thank you, sir.

153
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:48,860
Tissue Banks.

154
00:08:58,250 --> 00:08:59,670
I just can't hear me.

155
00:08:59,930 --> 00:09:00,310
I'm short.

156
00:09:01,450 --> 00:09:05,810
I just want to take this opportunity to thank Mayor Wagner in the city of Pasadena for

157
00:09:05,810 --> 00:09:09,970
and the Pasadena Chamber Commerce and the Pasadena Independent School District for all of their

158
00:09:09,970 --> 00:09:12,690
help with the first annual field of bus campaign.

159
00:09:13,090 --> 00:09:16,750
We were able to feel three school buses with schools of violence.

160
00:09:16,750 --> 00:09:21,510
And it was wonderful, so many children in Pasadena got free school supplies.

161
00:09:23,570 --> 00:09:27,730
In fact, what we did was we allowed the teachers to come and Friday before school started

162
00:09:27,730 --> 00:09:32,350
to the PISD warehouse, and they were able to bring a box and fill it for their classes

163
00:09:32,350 --> 00:09:33,150
and their kids.

164
00:09:33,370 --> 00:09:34,870
And it was a wonderful site.

165
00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:37,510
But next year, I have a different goal.

166
00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:41,750
I want to make sure every elementary child gets a free box of crayons.

167
00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:49,410
that means 15,301 kids are in 1st, 3rd, 4th grade and I want to make sure that teachers get

168
00:09:49,410 --> 00:09:53,630
a free box of clean eggs because those are things that teachers are buying and paying

169
00:09:53,630 --> 00:09:54,770
for out of their own pocket.

170
00:09:55,330 --> 00:10:00,810

Good morning,

195
00:11:52,630 --> 00:11:53,950
as much as you said,

196
00:11:54,250 --> 00:11:56,030

Thank you so much.

00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:25,320
Thank you.

217
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:36,100
Good morning.

218
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:42,140
First of all, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who's voted for Eric so far.

219
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,820
We've got a little bit longer to go September the 14th.

220
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:53,340
and so we're here to ask for your vote for everyone in the city to vote for Eric, Nicky,

221
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:59,060
at WWW, well-carre champions, well-carre champions.

222
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:15,740
Tx.com, forward slash, Eric, ERIC. Together, if we can get enough votes, it will win $25,000 for our

223
00:15:15,740 --> 00:15:23,940
senior center, and that goes to senior activities and things that the seniors can enjoy and

224
00:15:23,940 --> 00:15:31,640
and hence their life and we just ask that everyone in the city vote, you know, you can vote every day,

225
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,780
you can vote on computers, you can vote on cell phones, you can vote on browsers, different browsers

226
00:15:38,780 --> 00:15:46,720
and we just ask that you all put one more great push forward because together we can do this and it

227
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:53,380
would bring a lot of joy to our seniors at the senior center so and also if you have any questions

228
00:15:53,380 --> 00:16:00,340
called Mass & Jokes in your center at 713-4770175 and we would be happy to talk to you about

229
00:16:00,340 --> 00:16:00,900
Voting.

230
00:16:02,020 --> 00:16:08,380
We'll tell you how to download it on your phone and I'm not really good at those things but

231
00:16:08,380 --> 00:16:10,380
Eric programmed it into my phone.

232
00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:11,760
It's just a bunch of buttons.

233
00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:12,560
It's just about.

234
00:16:14,580 --> 00:16:16,860
And so it gives the call if you have problems with that.

235
00:16:17,380 --> 00:16:19,760
And again, thank you very much.

236
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,600
It takes teamwork to do things like this and to vote for Ed's daughter.

237
00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:32,860
She's a darling and she also sang at our 4th of July and celebrations and what a voice she's got.

238
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:34,740
And so thank you.

239
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:35,560
Thank y'all so much.

240
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:36,660
Thank you.

241
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,960
Michelle and Tee.

242
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:51,500
One reminder and council.

243
00:16:52,380 --> 00:16:57,780
In front of you, you have a little piece of paper there, talking about fire trucks.

244
00:16:57,780 --> 00:17:05,520
We tried selling these fire trucks on Renee Bates in a past we've had real good luck, but this time around

245
00:17:07,180 --> 00:17:12,980
Evidently there wasn't any any takers. So what we're doing we're going to have our auction

246
00:17:12,980 --> 00:17:18,100
September the 15th at our location that we have six times a year

247
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:28,980
We have a hundred plus abandoned and seize vehicles, more abandoned than not, and then

248
00:17:28,980 --> 00:17:31,940
we have some city vehicles, surplus vehicles that we sell.

249
00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:35,080
We brought ourselves in our resale.

250
00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:40,000
We do the guys do a great job of it.

251
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,800
I just show up and look ugly, so it's a 3% buyer's premium cash, master card,

252
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:57,080
American Express, we sell them as is, where is, one of the things about these fire trucks,

253
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:01,220
what we're going to do is we're going to sell them at our auction, but at the same time,

254
00:18:01,420 --> 00:18:08,440
they will be going, once they come up for bid, they will be going online and live across

255
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,940
the United States to try to get some people to buy these from us.

256
00:18:12,940 --> 00:18:18,520
Because what this money does, it goes back into our maintenance fund and we're able to buy equipment

257
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:25,100
at down the road, mercy equipment, you know, it could be fire trucks, it could be garbage

258
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:31,160
trucks, whatever it may be, but we really do proud ourselves in our resale.

259
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,540
Thank you very much.

260
00:18:32,860 --> 00:18:33,340
Thank you, sir.

261
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,440
Christine, the woman.

262
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,660
Good morning, Mayor.

263
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,550
City Council members, I am here today to share about several events we have going on at the

264
00:18:47,550 --> 00:18:51,810
to be in a chamber, but I want to first let you all know that today is an exciting day.

265
00:18:51,870 --> 00:18:56,570
As we were here, an email went out to all of our members and community members that met

266
00:18:56,570 --> 00:18:59,350
the launch of our new Pasadena Chamber website.

267
00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:04,730
And so two years ago, our director of marketing and special events, Susette McDowell, who's

268
00:19:04,730 --> 00:19:09,650
here with us today, launched our rebranding efforts in the completion of this website is the

269
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:10,810
final phase of that.

270
00:19:10,930 --> 00:19:13,690
And so we invite everybody to go check out the new website.

271
00:19:13,690 --> 00:19:19,270
It's a more user-friendly, versatile site that's mobile friendly and compatible on all devices.

272
00:19:19,570 --> 00:19:23,210
And so we appreciate everybody's support to in that.

273
00:19:23,370 --> 00:19:31,710
And if you are a chamber member and you normally register for events, then you will get an email today as well with new user name information and password to set up.

274
00:19:31,870 --> 00:19:33,690
So take advantage of that.

275
00:19:34,130 --> 00:19:40,450
We're excited about the launch of that and being able to showcase Pasadena and the chamber that we are so proud of.

276
00:19:40,450 --> 00:19:46,550
In terms of events coming up at the chamber, next Tuesday, September 11, the pasting a little

277
00:19:46,550 --> 00:19:54,270
feeder is putting on the 110 stories. This is a play that depicts the activities from September

278
00:19:54,270 --> 00:19:59,870
11 as told from the standpoint of people that we can relate to that experience that, not

279
00:19:59,870 --> 00:20:06,110
what was in the news. This event, although PLT is putting it on, is actually a fundraiser for

280
00:20:06,110 --> 00:20:09,110
of our first responders for the firemen and the police officers.

281
00:20:09,390 --> 00:20:13,170
So take it start at only $25 and their sponsorships available.

282
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:16,330
So please make plans to attend that.

283
00:20:17,090 --> 00:20:20,950
We also in partnership with the Harris County District Clerk's Office are going to have a

284
00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:24,730
passport fair at the Pasadena Chamber on Tuesday, September 18th.

285
00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:28,150
So if you want to skip the lines elsewhere, you can come to the Pasadena Chamber office

286
00:20:28,150 --> 00:20:29,950
for new or renewals.

287
00:20:29,950 --> 00:20:33,950
And that's open to the community and their families, so not just Chamber members.

288
00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:46,150
And then we also have our Pasina Hispanic Business Council Breakfast on October 10th at the Serrano Agency, and this will be on Identity Thept, so you can come learn how to keep your information safe.

289
00:20:46,770 --> 00:20:54,030
And then before long, the Texas Emotational Basketball Tournament will be here, and so we need your help in volunteering for this tournament.

290
00:20:54,150 --> 00:20:59,330
That is the partnership between the city, the school district, and the business community just like fill the best was.

291
00:20:59,330 --> 00:21:03,430
And so it's another opportunity for you to engage and to give back.

292
00:21:03,570 --> 00:21:07,550
And so you can look at texasemvitational.com for all the volunteer needs.

293
00:21:07,810 --> 00:21:10,890
And then last but not least, taste of the town is underway.

294
00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:17,670
And so the greatest taste of the town tickets are available at that event will be on November 1st this year.

295
00:21:17,810 --> 00:21:18,910
So get your tickets early.

296
00:21:19,010 --> 00:21:22,510
There is a VIP access opportunity to get in early.

297
00:21:22,810 --> 00:21:27,570
And we also have our raffle going on for a mini goat cart for only $10.

298
00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:33,670
You can stop by the chamber to purchase your tickets so thank you all for your support.

299
00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:35,810
Thank you, ma'am.

300
00:21:35,930 --> 00:21:37,430
Okay, brings us down to presentations.

301
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:48,340
Mayor and Council will be honoring three employees today for service awards that they've received here at the city.

302
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,200
The first employee and after they get their awards that we head back to their office, get back to work.

303
00:21:54,200 --> 00:22:00,020
the first goes to Darrell Anthony, he's got 35 years of service with the city one up there.

304
00:22:06,260 --> 00:22:09,320
You see even in the scribe clock, they're like very much Darrell.

305
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,900
He's assigned to our fleet division.

306
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,280
The next employee is Dying in a Curtis.

307
00:22:16,420 --> 00:22:22,160
She's got 30 years of service, but she's assigned the city controller's office, and she's perceiving in

308
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,220
his scribe watch.

309
00:22:30,570 --> 00:22:37,450
And last is Ed Hovett, I think 25 years of service, and he's with our golf course, he'll be receiving

310
00:22:43,860 --> 00:22:53,780
That's it, they're going to be heading back to their office because Diane has said she's got to make sure she gets our checks right now, so thank y'all very much.

311
00:22:54,180 --> 00:22:54,620
Thank you, sir.

312
00:23:00,990 --> 00:23:04,910
Okay, Council brings it down to presentation in minutes. I'll just 21st.

00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,680
Motion to say those second.

315
00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:10,120
Yes.

316
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:14,080
Don't we have a volunteer award over here also?

317
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,200
The shot, they said, Eddie, oh, there's Eddie right there.

318
00:23:18,340 --> 00:23:18,560

Yes.

00:23:19,980 --> 00:23:20,120
Yes.

00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:20,700
He's about back.

322
00:23:21,260 --> 00:23:21,820
Thank you, Bruce.

323
00:23:21,980 --> 00:23:23,860
I appreciate that because I did not see any sitting there.

324
00:23:24,940 --> 00:23:25,740
Let's see

325
00:23:28,970 --> 00:23:30,570
try to see here.

326
00:23:31,230 --> 00:23:31,490
Yes.

327
00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:32,350
Eddie Perez.

328
00:23:32,550 --> 00:23:33,950
He's got a volunteer award now.

329
00:23:33,950 --> 00:23:36,090
I have to get him as a work because I was told he was not here.

330
00:23:36,250 --> 00:23:36,650

00:33:49,670 --> 00:33:50,950
Okay, thank you.

526
00:34:07,490 --> 00:34:11,030
Motion, motion, chain buy, second, Lehman, any questions?

527
00:34:11,930 --> 00:34:13,770
All in favour? Any opposed?

528
00:34:15,010 --> 00:34:19,890
Resolution 2018-109, a resolution by Rogue-Colvo, scheduling two public hearings,

529
00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:26,870
September 18, 2018 at 6pm, and October 2, 2018 at 10am in the Councilor Chamber City Hall.

530
00:34:26,870 --> 00:34:34,270
For the purpose of hearing public comments on the proposal to adopt a 2018 tax rate of 0.615446

531
00:34:34,270 --> 00:34:42,930
for $100 value, which is greater than the 2018 effective tax rate of 0.56430 per $100 value.

532
00:34:43,250 --> 00:34:48,570
And authorizing the city secretary to publish a notice of the 2018 tax report proposed property tax

533
00:34:48,570 --> 00:34:53,470
rate for the city of Pasadena at least seven days prior to the first scheduled hearing,

534
00:34:53,930 --> 00:34:55,150
and we need a row call vote mayor.

535
00:34:55,150 --> 00:35:01,030
Okay, let's make a motion, shame mine, second, Lehman, okay, we'll start our vote.

536
00:35:01,210 --> 00:35:02,810
Is there a discussion on this, man?

537
00:35:03,330 --> 00:35:04,050
Okay, discussion.

538
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,660
Second, it's Lehman.

539
00:35:12,660 --> 00:35:13,000
Lehman.

540
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:18,780
First here.

541
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:21,780
This is a proposed tax increase.

542
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,300
If we were to accept the same, the rollback rate of .556.

543
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,980
That means the citizens of Pasadena, this next coming year,

544
00:35:29,980 --> 00:35:39,320
pay a proper tax rate of 0.556 or 55.6 cents per 100 dollar valuation on their home.

545
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:51,140
This increase in taxes would be 61.5 cents. That's about a 6% or a 6% increase, which

546
00:35:51,140 --> 00:35:57,480
equates to a 10.6% increase in just the rate along. That doesn't account for the increase

547
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:03,780
property value. So if your home goes up in value, not only are you paying an increase of 10.6%

548
00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:09,240
on the rate, but you're going to pay on top of that whatever increase is the evaluation of your home.

549
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,540
We've had, well, we're not as much of a budget workshop. Council wasn't a lot asking any questions,

550
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:21,640
but in our budget, we did not account for any employee raise for police officers or city employees.

551
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,240
So in our budget so far there's been no cost of living increase for employees.

552
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:34,740
On top of that, we just passed an industrial agreement, which gave a 30% reduction, it

553
00:36:34,740 --> 00:36:39,680
will, what I'm saying is, is if the industrial zone were to pay the same level of property

554
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:46,040
tax that we're asking citizens to pay, they would be paying $25 million a year.

555
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,600
We're only asking them to pay $17.5 a year, which is equivalent of a 30% discount.

556
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:57,740
So, in the same month, we're asking these multi-billion dollar corporations to pay at a 30% discount

557
00:36:57,740 --> 00:37:03,060
or increasing property taxes on a working family is 10.6%.

558
00:37:03,060 --> 00:37:07,480
And not even given our budgeting for our city employees to have a cost of living increase.

559
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,400
I think this is not fiscally wise.

560
00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:14,120
It's not fair to work in families, and it's especially not fair to given that yesterday was

561
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:14,620
Labor Day.

562
00:37:14,620 --> 00:37:18,720
I'm not going to support his tax increase and I don't want to see it go to the end of that

563
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:19,180
FS.

564
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:20,620
Thank you.

565
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:22,160
Any other comment?

566
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:24,060
We'll go for a roll call vote.

567
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:24,600
Go answer.

568
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,640
Yes, so I'm kind of a, I guess I'm the same boat here.

569
00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:33,500
I guess I'm not everybody's surprised about that, right?

570
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,020
But let me say this.

571
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:37,740
We didn't have a budget workshop.

572
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,560
One of the main things that I'm really concerned with is the fact that we've had numerous things

573
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,700
be increased on us this this past year. We've had our garbage rates go up. We've had

574
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:52,080
our water rates go up. We're not talking about an increase of 2.6% going up. We're given

575
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,340
industrial districts of break. If we were to annex those guys, I know I brought this

576
00:37:56,340 --> 00:38:01,140
up last. We were talking about an additional $4.5 million dollars annually that we could

577
00:38:01,140 --> 00:38:08,660
bring into the city. On our actual budget, Mayor and everybody was very proud of we're going

578
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:11,860
be bringing in $2.8 million more this year in tax revenue.

579
00:38:12,660 --> 00:38:14,960
If that's the case, we're happy with the $2.8 million

580
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,520
why are we increasing taxes again?

581
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,800
Not to mention the fact that he said that we're going to be keeping

582
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,120
the same amount of employees.

583
00:38:22,260 --> 00:38:24,340
And that personnel will be staying the same.

584
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:26,780
Now is this tax revenue, this tax increase?

585
00:38:26,980 --> 00:38:30,540
We're going to, I don't know, I guess hire new employees or whatever

586
00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:33,400
the case may be, there's no reason for this to go on.

587
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:40,500
We have money and the fund balance to give our employees a cost of living increase, okay?

588
00:38:40,780 --> 00:38:44,740
The reason why some of these things have been going on is because there's been excessive spending.

589
00:38:45,860 --> 00:38:49,680
Okay, there's a lot of projects and things are that nature that the mayor we did in account for in the budget.

590
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,020
They didn't put it in the budget because they wanted the budget to look really, really good.

591
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,620
Hey, we got a lot of money here.

592
00:38:55,860 --> 00:38:59,820
I'll guess what that money is going through other projects as well, that they have an account for.

593
00:38:59,820 --> 00:39:02,460
There is money for a cost of living increase.

594
00:39:03,420 --> 00:39:06,840
This tax increase right here may or try to do this last year.

595
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,160
We talked them down, we got it down to the rollback tax rate.

596
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,760
The other thing I'm concerned with is that this rollback tax rate that they're proposing right here,

597
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,940
I need to do some research because last I checked there was only supposed to be

598
00:39:19,940 --> 00:39:23,180
and they are 6% increase max that you could do on the rollback.

599
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:25,180
This is well above that.

600
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:26,520
Thank you, sir.

601
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,240
Again, we're really discussing a public hearing.

602
00:39:30,340 --> 00:39:32,720
The office comments are definitely for the public hearing.

603
00:39:32,860 --> 00:39:34,600
It shouldn't be here, but I'll allow that.

604
00:39:35,060 --> 00:39:36,900
And again, the budget.

605
00:39:37,180 --> 00:39:39,740
Everything we do here is in the budget, and y'all vote on.

606
00:39:39,740 --> 00:39:40,600
There's nothing hitting.

607
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,540
It is in.

608
00:39:41,740 --> 00:39:43,020
Sir, you're out of order.

609
00:39:43,500 --> 00:39:45,200
You're out of order, and I'll allow you to talk.

610
00:39:45,420 --> 00:39:45,540
And I should.

611
00:39:45,540 --> 00:39:46,820
Well, I appreciate that, you bet.

612
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:50,060
But my point is, is everything in the budget is in the budget.

613
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:51,500
It's nothing hitting from the administration.

614
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:52,500
It's not.

615
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:54,080
Again, sir, you're out of order.

616
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:55,040
One more time, sir.

617
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,120
You're going to be asked to leave the room.

618
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,120
Why would you let me just file with me?

619
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,040
I'll tell you what.

620
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,020
This is very important.

621
00:40:01,020 --> 00:40:02,700
Officer, this is very important.

622
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:04,100
And this has to do with our tax pay.

623
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,380
What about a point of information?

624
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,800
The mayor can't throw them out with a load of counsel.

625
00:40:07,980 --> 00:40:09,720
It takes five volts from the garden accounts.

626
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,240
We need to rob our crew to load it.

627
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:11,520
I did.

628
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,780
We'll read it again.

629
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:13,320
Same wrong.

630
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:18,960
Okay.

631
00:40:19,060 --> 00:40:21,400
That brings us down to a roll call vote.

632
00:40:21,580 --> 00:40:22,120
My family.

633
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:23,180
I'm not through the discussion.

634
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:27,140
Can't say you can stay for the roll call vote if you choose to.

635
00:40:27,420 --> 00:40:27,600
Okay.

636
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:28,460
Thank you.

637
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:37,000
As long as it applies to saying yes or no to a public hearing, we're not discussing the public

638
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,900
supply to a specific hearing.

639
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:39,600
Let me speak.

640
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:40,520
Go ahead sir.

641
00:40:40,980 --> 00:40:41,860
I got a message, me.

642
00:40:43,810 --> 00:40:44,790
It's the marriage right.

643
00:40:45,030 --> 00:40:49,370
It's the yes or no on this roll call vote, but I want to get my position out where I am.

644
00:40:49,750 --> 00:40:53,010
I don't think we should even add this yes or no vote.

645
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,720
No long-out in search.

646
00:40:56,260 --> 00:40:57,480
I've talked to business people.

647
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,940
No men are up to me when I'm talking.

648
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,000
The law, you the law now.

649
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:08,060
I talk to business people out here, and my priority is the business people, the taxpayers,

650
00:41:08,420 --> 00:41:08,920
the homeowners.

651
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,300
And we didn't even have a budget workshop.

652
00:41:12,580 --> 00:41:14,780
There's a lot of things in this whole thing.

653
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,220
People have taken deals, one way or the other.

654
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,180
But I am against raising taxes.

655
00:41:22,380 --> 00:41:23,300
It's not needed.

656
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:28,520
We need to have a budget workshop and get some expenses and move forward.

657
00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:34,360
So therefore, I'm state of my position right now that I'm not going to support attacks

658
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:34,940
increase.

659
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:39,240
I support the people out there that pay the taxes.

660
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:41,200
So therefore, I can support it.

661
00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:41,540
Thank you, Mayor.

662
00:41:41,540 --> 00:41:42,160
Thank you, sir.

663
00:41:42,340 --> 00:41:43,620
Okay, roll call, though.

All in favor?

Any opposed?

701
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,000
Well, think about it for a comment now.

702
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:58,880
We're here to do the city business, and we must do it with respect for all citizens, and

703
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,320
that's what my administration does.

704
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:06,480
everything that you hear about the budget, being a transparent, everything we do, and everything

705
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,940
I do, it's voted on, and nothing's hidden from my administration.

706
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,920
With that, yeah, I have a great day, we'll see you later.

707
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:13,560
It's me, Jean.
