241
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:10,839
time um Madam president um mayor

242
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:12,720
McCarthy city council uh first I kind

243
00:13:10,839 --> 00:13:14,560
want to thank you guys I know this arper

244
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,760
process has been kind of daunting for

245
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:18,720
everyone um really what I just want to

246
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,480
address is you know at coko house we

247
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,040
really just tried to do our best to

248
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,519
abide by the process there was a lot of

249
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,120
uh miscommunication in the very

250
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:27,720
beginning so for the first five months

251
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,600
we didn't utilize almost any of our

252
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,279
funds because it was communicated that

253
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,680
we couldn't without raising a large

254
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:36,279
amount of money up front I became more

255
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:39,519
involved in the process because our

256
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:42,680
board president and CFO Robert um became

257
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:45,279
very ill and he had to step down in June

258
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:48,160
when I began meeting with the city of

259
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:50,399
City uh um I believe it was Mitch grman

260
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,199
and Denise Brooker what was explained to

261
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,240
me was that we have the entirety of the

262
00:13:52,199 --> 00:13:57,519
three years to utiliz the entirety of

263
00:13:54,240 --> 00:14:00,040
the $500,000 the arpa so we scheduled it

264
00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:02,560
out as that the thing is from the very

265
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:05,680
beginning um in the arbit contract it

266
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:08,040
was allocated from my um salary to be

267
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:11,279
increased to $70,000 which I opted to

268
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,839
not take until we hired staff from the

269
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:15,959
community first so for the entirety of

270
00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:18,160
the beginning of the contract until now

271
00:14:15,959 --> 00:14:19,920
I have opted to not be paid the amount

272
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,759
that was allocated in the arpa because I

273
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,959
wanted to make sure we took care of the

274
00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:26,040
community first it was recently just

275
00:14:23,959 --> 00:14:29,800
brought to my attention like literally

276
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:32,040
within the last few days that uh arpa

277
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,000
contract I guess it's supposed to end

278
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,320
the allocation supposed to end on the

279
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,959
31st that's not what it was explained to

280
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,160
us so we have hired staff as we spoke

281
00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:44,560
about we do have resumés to hire more

282
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:47,120
staff continuously so I spoke with

283
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,639
Alexandria earlier so I guess the the

284
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,000
conversation is I would just like for

285
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:54,800
somebody to really explain is it the

286
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,920
full three years for the contract or is

287
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,279
it a yearly contract because I've been

288
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,120
given basically two different

289
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:02,720
explanations now based on my

290
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,720
conversation with Alexandria earlier um

291
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,079
I did speak to my board and if the

292
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,800
contract itself ends at a one-year

293
00:15:07,079 --> 00:15:11,920
glance on the 31st then me and my board

294
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,880
have had the conversation about possibly

295
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,399
allowing some money to go back into the

296
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,360
pot if it's necessary but if the

297
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:20,079
allocation is for the total three years

298
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,600
then is that what's supposed to happen

299
00:15:20,079 --> 00:15:24,360
because there's been two totally

300
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,199
different conversations with me so I

301
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,600
thank you guys first off I I don't want

302
00:15:26,199 --> 00:15:31,319
to see like in any way like I'm trying

303
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,959
to be uh not appreciative I appreciate

304
00:15:31,319 --> 00:15:35,560
the allocation and our ability we just

305
00:15:32,959 --> 00:15:37,600
hired a young man from the community 21y

306
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,839
old who is being able to make a

307
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,279
sustainable living wage for himself this

308
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:42,800
is what we want to be able to do with

309
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:45,120
the arpa but there's been a lot of

310
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,880
confusion about the timeline and how

311
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,240
we're able to use it either way myself

312
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,279
and my board are committed to making a

313
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,399
decision and working with the city as to

314
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:56,079
what works best for everyone but I think

315
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:58,279
we just have to have some very clear

316
00:15:56,079 --> 00:16:00,519
communication and dialogue and have some

317
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:04,839
timelines some things spelled out for

318
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:04,839
what's necessary thank you thank

319
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:10,480
you I have no one else signed up to

320
00:16:08,839 --> 00:16:12,639

before we have the roll call Mr

347
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,600
Williams thank you so during our uh

348
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:45,600
committee meetings we had a lot of

349
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,840
discussion around this particular item

350
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,960
with respect to raising some uh code

351
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,559
fees and my hesitation with proceeding

352
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,120
uh center is around wanting to make sure

353
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,799
we are putting in place appropriate

354
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:59,559
workflow adjustments rather than relying

355
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:03,039
on increases with our fees alone similar

356
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:04,880
to The Stance I took with um waste and

357
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:07,280
and water and previous budgets I want to

358
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,200
ensure that prior to us putting in place

359
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,799
additional raises um monetarily I want

360
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,640
to ensure that our operations reflect

361
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:16,400
the best practices this is not a

362
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,679
comination of anything that's happening

363
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,960
within uh the code Department however um

364
00:18:19,679 --> 00:18:23,840
based on my seat uh I feel it is best

365
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,720
appropriate to ensure that prior to us

366
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,000
putting in place additional monetary

367
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,240
fees uh that we again are evaluating

368
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,880
other measures prior to doing

369

the ravages of a typ flu hey don't W get

467

00:23:34,159 --> 00:23:39,960

00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:46,520
hear me anyway um I'm

470
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:49,279
uh I stand tonight uh to talk about arpa

471
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:52,559
um I I'm getting tired to talk about

472
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:55,000
arpa from from up here but once again it

473
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:57,559
just shows this has been a shame from

474
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,360
the beginning the first day that you

475
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:03,480
guys dealt with this you didn't deal

476
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:05,039
with the the uh deal with the

477
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,600
recommendations from the Committees that

478
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:09,039
said did hard work on this in fact the

479
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,080
first day if you go back and take a look

480
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:12,600
at it was horse trading across the table

481
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,520
everybody had their own proposals

482
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,960
everybody was getting done and I believe

483
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,320
KOCO house was one of them and it's kind

484
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:22,039
of ironic that we're here tonight

485
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,679
talking about Coco house again this

486
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:26,760
thing has been all over the map uh went

487
00:24:24,679 --> 00:24:31,880
went to buildings and then changed and

488
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:33,919
then it went to to uh to salaries uh and

489
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,559
now we're talking about tonight where

490
00:24:33,919 --> 00:24:38,640
they're taking funds back from this

491
00:24:35,559 --> 00:24:42,240
thing um but that's not the only

492
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:45,320
one but what the city residents have

493
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:49,240
looked at is you guys burn through

494
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:51,360
millions of dollars millions of dollars

495
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,799
and yet tonight we're still arguing

496
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:56,520
about stuff like this going back to the

497
00:24:53,799 --> 00:24:59,279
to the thing um it's

498
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,200
been inconsistent

499
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:04,039
many people that's been and I've set up

500
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:06,039
here it's been corrupt because if you go

501
00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:08,640
back and take a look at all the funds

502
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:10,960
that were talked about the first night

503
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:14,120
uh many of these many of those things uh

504
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:16,679
were put out again one of them was Coco

505
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:18,720
house uh we still haven't found out

506
00:25:16,679 --> 00:25:20,159
what's going on with du that thing's all

507
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,360
been all over the map as well these are

508
00:25:20,159 --> 00:25:25,159
millions of

509
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:27,080
dollars so um the bottom line is that

510
00:25:25,159 --> 00:25:29,720
we're going to have to take a look at

511
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,399
this when you guys ever get done with it

512
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,000
um and uh we're going to have to go

513
00:25:31,399 --> 00:25:36,480
through these different proposals but uh

514
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,880
as far as I'm concerned the city did not

515
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:42,399
get the bang for the

516
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:44,320
buck over over over arpa um and quite

517
00:25:42,399 --> 00:25:46,559
honestly you guys should be ashamed of

518
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:49,399
yourselves because you guys could have

519
00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:52,039
done some major things in our city that

520
00:25:49,399 --> 00:25:54,840
could have helped our city become a

521
00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:59,840
better City better for the taxpayers

522
00:25:54,840 --> 00:26:00,720
better for the kids and uh so uh

523
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,200
I'm going to

524
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,440
reserve to say what I wanted to say

525
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,440
about these other ones when you have

526
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,919
your special council meeting but I just

527
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,760
wanted to say that it's it's uh it's

528
00:26:08,919 --> 00:26:13,880
it's unfortunate that this Council

529
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,880
didn't take advantage of what it could

530
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,640
have happen and I do appreciate the golf

531
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:23,000
golf course um because that's a money

532
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:25,960
maker for the city and the pool the

533
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,559
pools is something that the city should

534
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,600
be very proud of because a lot of kids

535
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:31,960
use it just went up there just to watch

536
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,320
the kids and uh she' be very very proud

537
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:38,039
of that pool so other than

538
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,039
that uh missed the

539
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:44,600

enjoy your family friends the good

688
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,919
things that we have going on in the

689
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,320
community uh we're truly fortunate

690
00:33:10,919 --> 00:33:15,639
because of

691
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,120
that the same time we've gotten a couple

692
00:33:15,639 --> 00:33:19,399
little snowstorms we may get a little

693
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,919
bit of snow tonight it's going to be on

694
00:33:19,399 --> 00:33:23,880
the low end but I encourage people uh

695
00:33:21,919 --> 00:33:26,080
one shovel on each side of a fire

696
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:29,240
hydrant if we uh get a little bit more

697
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:31,200
snow to keep it clear in the unlikely

698
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,399
event the fire department has to access

699
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:37,760
it it's uh ready

700
00:33:33,399 --> 00:33:42,080
enabl and with the temperatures dropping

701
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:44,679
to below zero and there is not much snow

702
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:48,080
cover the frost will go in the ground

703
00:33:44,679 --> 00:33:51,120
and people should be cognizant of uh

704
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:54,000
their pipes uh freezing up and if you

705
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:57,080
have a pipe that's on an outside wall or

706
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,600
a fixture uh just leaving it on a little

707
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:02,320
so that it will drip will keep it going

708
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,799
and keep it uh from freezing so some of

709
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,639
those small precautions can save you big

710
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:09,040
expense and a lot of headache if you

711
00:34:07,639 --> 00:34:11,560
have to go through an unfortunate

712
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:14,159
situation with burst pipe but thank you

713
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,359

the city as well as a matter of fact the

735
00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:03,520
majority of it actually was SP with

736
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,720
spent within the city and not on the

737
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,920
community projects but people want to

738
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:10,240
put on the face of it so it looks a

739
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,040
certain way which is not true but the

740
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:13,280
numbers will speak for themselves so

741
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:18,520
that's what will

742
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:20,280
happen so as we're ending this year on a

743
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,800
still one more meeting note just by the

744
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,920
way we have we're going to have that

745
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,320
special meeting so but um as we have

746
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,800
this actual public meeting um with the

747
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,720
city council here I just want to thank

748
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,800
everyone first of all for all your work

749
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:34,200
all year long for your considerations on

750
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,359
the legislation that has come before you

751
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,760
um for giving it for those of you who

752
00:35:36,359 --> 00:35:41,359
really gave it thought um a thought

753
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,480
thoughtful process as we moved forward

754
00:35:41,359 --> 00:35:46,119
and I'm looking forward to us to for the

755
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:48,400
next year as we move forward and to um

756
00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:50,560
again pass some meaningful legislation

757
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,480
arpa did take a lot of our time because

758
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,280
it was money that we first of all did

759
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,480
expect and secondly had to be expended

760
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,480
within a certain time frame so I know

761
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,440
there's much more work to be done done

762
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,920
and that I believe that this council is

763
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:05,480
up to doing it so I look forward to that

764
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,359
I'd like to wish a very merry Christmas

765
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,119

766
00:36:07,359 --> 00:36:12,760
