You got just me today.

8
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:06,469
>> You got just me today.

9
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:11,350
» Once in a while.

10
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,990
» Not too often.

11
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,040
I'd like to call to order this

12
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,400
connecting city council committee

13
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,440
meeting for Monday, August 4th, 2020.

14
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,920
August 3rd

15
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,239
>> already. Oh my gosh. Where did the month

16
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:30,080
go already?

17
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,560
>> August 4th, 2025. Uh the first committee

18
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,680
is government operations.

19
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,720
>> Madam President, like to call order

20
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,040
government operations. We have one item

21
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,360
on the one item on the agenda today. Mr.

22
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,080
Williams.

23
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,480
>> Uh thank you. So I think the last time u

24
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,400
discussed this this was still in its

25
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,480
infantile stages. I'm excited to

26
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,000
announce that just waiting to hear back

27
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,599
from more feedback from the rest of the

28
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:57,760
board or not the board the committee

29
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,879
regarding um the nominated criteria and

30
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:02,319
how the applications will be received

31
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:04,560
from applicants. um hopefully hearing

32
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,280
back from the simple majority by

33
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,640
Wednesday and then we'll be able to at

34
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,040
least start receiving applicants and the

35
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,560
assumption we'll do that for a twoe

36
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,599
period. Um it's a lot of learning. I met

37
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,360
the process with including some

38
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,760
representatives from our academia. The

39
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,440
summer time might not be the best time

40
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,280
to have a reviewing committee meet. Uh

41
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,720
so I'm definitely taking a lot of notes

42
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,720
just due with the back to school efforts

43
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,319
with the colleges and also with the

44
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:29,680
school district. But sincerely I

45
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,720
appreciate everyone's involvement. Um, I

46
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,920
can definitely look to field some

47
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,159
questions, but I think ultimately in the

48
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:37,840
resolution that we passed, it had a

49
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,080
September 8th date identified, and I'm

50
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,920
confident that we'll still be able to or

51
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,680
the committee will still be able to

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,360
receive applicants, review them, and

53
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,200
then push forward a recommendation to

54
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,319
council on time.

55
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,080
>> Colonel, um, Mr. Williams, could you

56
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,400
tell me I can forget who's actually on

57
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,760
the selection committee?

58
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,599
>> Uh, I can send that to you. Uh, just I

59
00:03:57,599 --> 00:03:58,799
just don't want to mispronounce any

60
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:00,640
names, but I can send that to the Great.

61
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,000
Thank you.

62
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Mr.

63
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,799
>> Mr. Williams, when when you initially um

64
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:06,319
introduced this legislation, there were

65
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:08,239
certain groups that were going to be

66
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:09,680
represented. Is are those still the same

67
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,159
groups?

68
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:10,799
>> Yes, ma'am.

69
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:12,319
>> Okay. So, the individuals come from

70
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:13,680
those particular groups that were in the

71
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,390
legislation. Okay. Thank you.

72
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,709
» Any other questions, comments?

73
00:04:20,709 --> 00:04:22,800
[Music]

74
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,040
Motion to any other business to come

75
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,440
before government operations.

76
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,600
Okay. Hearing none, I'll accept a motion

77
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,919
to adjourn.

78
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:34,880
So second

79
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,960
>> second all those in favor. We are journ

80
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,720
>> call to order the finance committee and

81
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,880
the first item is amendment to the US

82
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,560
finance agreement. That's correct.

83
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:59,110
>> Um I'm going to defer to s.

84
00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,840
Thanks.

85
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:01,120
>> You're welcome.

86
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,110
>> Any questions?

87
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,720
» Yeah. So, this is an amendment. Could

88
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,039
you Can you tell us how this differs

89
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:10,560
than the original agreement?

90
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,560
>> Yep. The main difference in this

91
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,160
agreement is that the original agreement

92
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,560
that we did last year was for some base

93
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,639
work of eight courts with the

94
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,759
alternative work of 10. USA has provided

95
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:23,520
the additional funding so that we could

96
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,240
do all 18. So, we revised the agreement

97
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,000
to include all 18 and that USDA would um

98
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,320
come up with the additional funding. Uh

99
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,080
I've also, just so you're aware, I've

100
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,800
talked with the US today and I've asked

101
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,840
that the USDA Eastern provide you with a

102
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,600
letter of concurrence for your meeting

103
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,120
on Monday just so that you have that. Um

104
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,280
you have to remember Maxine, uh she did

105
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,039
a really great job working with them as

106
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:51,600
it went. But there is a section in here

107
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,520
that I'll call your attention to because

108
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,520
we don't want to get anybody nervous.

109
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,199
Section two, se part one. It says if the

110
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:02,160
costs are found to be in excessive, US

111
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,400
may terminate this contract. The idea

112
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,360
was is that USGA, we didn't think it was

113
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,680
fair to have them have a contract that

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,840
bind them into what the cost would be.

115
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:15,280
>> Um, and so we did get six bids. The low

116
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,919
bid was uh within our budget. actually

117
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:20,000
was a great bid contractor that we've

118
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,199
worked with and uh we've reviewed it and

119
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:25,039
we have a letter from our consultant in

120
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:27,840
the later portion of the packet and USA

121
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,240
will be uh sending us a letter to state

122
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,840
that they are comfortable with the bid

123
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,360
and will be providing us with the

124
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,080
additional funding. Um, the amount won't

125
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,240
be determined because if you were to

126
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,520
read into here, there's some other

127
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,600
things that they like a shed and things

128
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,800
like that. Those are things that they

129
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,720
may purchase additionally because like

130
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,160
it states in the agreement, the city

131
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,240
funding is capped at the funding that we

132
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,479
have available, but they realize that

133
00:06:50,479 --> 00:06:52,000
this facility is important to their

134
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
operations for the next 20 years. So,

135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,440
they want to make sure that the

136
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,880
investment is there initially.

137
00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,680
>> Go ahead, please.

138
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,680
>> So, initially they were going to do 10

139
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,440
courts in Central Park and then the

140
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,800
Michigan Avenue. we were going to do

141
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,199
eight courts in Central Park and do some

142
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,199
repairs to Michigan Avenue. So now,

143
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:11,520
right now, we're focused on Central Park

144
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,520
and that we will have uh possibly an

145
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,800
agreement in the future for Michigan

146
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,680
Avenue, but they Central Park is

147
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,479
critical to their um essentially to

148
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:22,160
their season, to their schedule. So,

149
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,080
they want to put right now all their

150
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,400
eggs in one basket with Central Park. Um

151
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,080
Michigan is more critical to 15 Love

152
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,919
because a lot of educational things

153
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:33,440
happen at 15 Love. So, it is something

154
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,759
that we'll have to look at, but they

155
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:39,199
like to uh focus on Central Park

156
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:41,360
because, as we talked about prior, um

157
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,599
the June 1st deadline is going to be a

158
00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:45,120
challenge. Um right after this gets

159
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,720
approved, we're going to have meetings

160
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,400
with um construction with Gallup and try

161
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,680
to move this forward as quickly as

162
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,010
possible.

163
00:07:54,010 --> 00:07:55,840
[Music]

164
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,199
>> Any other questions?

165
00:07:57,199 --> 00:07:59,840
Seeing none, may I

166
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,000
have a motion to move this item forward?

167
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,680
>> Second. All in favor?

168
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,520
>> I thank you.

169
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,160
>> The next item is just a reminder, 2023

170
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,840
consolidated annual performance and

171
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,960
evaluation report. The public hearing is

172
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,639
scheduled for August 11th at 700 p.m.

173
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:19,919
Are there any other business for

174
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:21,680
finance?

175
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,160
Seeing none, may I have a motion to

176
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:24,800
second?

177
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,759
>> All in favor?

178
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:28,720
>> I thank you.

179
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,720
>> Uh I'd like to call city development and

180
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,240
planning. We have six items on the

181
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,279
agenda. The first item is the new USDA

182
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,760
use agreement. Mash,

183
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,760
>> I will defer again to Mr. Watkins.

184
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,640
>> Okay. So, this is not necessarily my

185
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,800
subject matter. Um, it's a usage

186
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,480
agreement, not a finance agreement. So,

187
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,000
this is for um USA and their subsidiary

188
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
of 15 love to use these tennis courts

189
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,560
for a period of 20 years suspending

190
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,600
December 31st, 2046. Their previous

191
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,000
agreement was set to expire this year.

192
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,160
the USA uh requested that for the money

193
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,839
to be transferred over that they extend

194
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:08,480
this agreement so that the both happen

195
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,519
at the same time. They're making an

196
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:10,880
investment and the city's acknowledging

197
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,320
that we'd be able to they'll be able to

198
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,880
use the the courts for 20 years. The

199
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,519
only thing that I could point out on

200
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:20,320
this because I was talking with uh both

201
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Maxine and Bill Maza is that this this

202
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,240
regards a waving of fees given their

203
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,360
commitment for USDA Eastern and 15 Love.

204
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,680
No other entities.

205
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:35,519
Now, the city has to probably get

206
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,360
something in place similar to the pool

207
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,959
where we have something that would make

208
00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:40,640
sense for both the city and for the

209
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,920
patrons. But you know, right now the

210
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,800
courts are not a paid entity. So this

211
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,760
just takes place to USDA Eastern and

212
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,550
1511. That's what's stipulated in here.

213
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:55,839
» Mr. I'm sorry.

214
00:09:55,839 --> 00:09:59,120
>> So just for clarity, so

215
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,839
after the investments made um and the

216
00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:08,560
courts are done, you're saying that only um those are only entities but

217
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:10,480
people but we're talking about rather

218
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,720
citizens could use the courts for your

219
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,519
charge.

220
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:15,440
>> No,

221
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040
it is in the code today that there is a

222
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,720
charge to use the central park tense

223
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,800
courts. The city has not

224
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,360
>> Oh yeah.

225
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:23,920
>> done it

226
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,240
>> right. But it is on the books. It is one

227
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,600
of these many things that is on the

228
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,000
books that we have. Um it was stopped uh

229
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
I believe several years ago because the

230
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,440
costs of staffing to

231
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,600
>> you know collect the fee ended up being

232
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,200
more than the fee.

233
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,680
>> Mhm. But what this agreement is talking

234
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:46,160
about is for the next 20 years, USDA

235
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,880
Eastern 15 love, if the city were to

236
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,160
come out with a fee structure and

237
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,320
enforce it, they would not pay for that

238
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,600
fee structure for their events.

239
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,399
It also I believe it gives them uh

240
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:01,040
priority to book ahead of time so that

241
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,200
if there were a USJ Eastern event going

242
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,279
up against a school event, the USJ

243
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,040
Eastern event would have the the

244
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,640
president. They would be able to book,

245
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,240
not the school event. Mr.

246
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,680
Mayor

247
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:14,480
>> defer to the chair.

248
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,680
>> Oh, I'm sorry.

249
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:16,000
>> Okay.

250
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,560
>> Uh, this has been a long-term

251
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,399
relationship for the city and it

252
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:23,360
continues to expand where we really had

253
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,200
more formal relationship with the junior

254
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,680
division. This is expanding that. So,

255
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:31,120
uh, they're making a significant

256
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,800
commitment, but there's also, uh, it's a

257
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,760
regional draw where it brings people

258
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,440
into the community. So people are

259
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,640
staying at the hotels. Uh they're going

260
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,959
to restaurants. Uh they're spending

261
00:11:44,959 --> 00:11:48,240
money here in Skenctity and believe it's

262
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,040
a good partnership and we're had to

263
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,519
defer a little bit for Michigan Avenue.

264
00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:55,519
Glad to look at that in the capital

265
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:58,720
budget for 26 and I submit that to the

266
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,480
council. Hopefully we'll be able to

267
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,160
address that uh have this move ahead. It

268
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,839
compliments the swimming pool, the A

269
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:08,320
diamond, the rose garden, the

270
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,200
greenhouse, uh,

271
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,000
>> music.

272
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,720
>> Yeah, music haven. And just it's really

273
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,360
an impressive record that we've put

274
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,760
together in Central Park.

275
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,720
>> Uh, so regarding um how long will the

276
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,079
courts be shut down? Because I get asked

277
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,360
that question a lot.

278
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,760
>> The courts uh anticipating that today is

279
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,839
4th. So if if the contractor would allow, they

280
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:37,680
would be closed from September 15th to

281
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,600
June 1st.

282
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,880
>> Okay.

283
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,040
>> Um the other thing is in regard to

284
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,360
parking since we're talking about having

285
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,880
these these tournaments there and

286
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,800
already park as you know parking is a

287
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,519
challenge. So um is there any thought as

288
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:53,519
these renovations are being done how we

289
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:56,160
can expand the parking to be able to

290
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,639
accommodate people or was that part of

291
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:00,959
the plan? Is that parking planned into

292
00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:03,040
this at all? There's no parking as part

293
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,480
of this. Um there's been we have

294
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,200
right now are doing work on Fair Avenue

295
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,240
>> to upgrade that to uh reconfigure it uh

296
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,560
with uh millings and other things which

297
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:22,480
will provide parking for the swimming

298
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,160
pool, a diamond, tennis courts, uh some

299
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,480
of these things. uh music haven. It's a

300
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,720
little bit of a walk, but there would be

301
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,600
more parking within a reasonable

302
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,440
distance. And you know, there is some

303
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,839
parking on street around the tennis

304
00:13:37,839 --> 00:13:41,279
courts. It does not uh meet the needs

305
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:43,920
when there is a major event or a lot of

306
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,519
activity at the tennis courts or the

307
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:48,480
swimming pool, but we're uh doing work

308
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,680
right now on Fair Avenue to increase

309
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:53,519
that capacity.

310
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:55,519
>> Right. So, and and frankly right now it

311
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:56,639
really doesn't even meet the needs in

312
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:57,920
the morning with the drop in quite

313
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,000
frankly starting to park like really

314
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,639
going down and just um on the other

315
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:05,040
because um on the other side where

316
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,959
there's grass there was a no parking

317
00:14:06,959 --> 00:14:09,199
sign on the the tree

318
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:11,760
>> and um actually someone was getting a

319
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,160
ticket just the other day. So parking I

320
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,920
just wanted to bring forth the fact that

321
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,199
uh parking is already

322
00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:18,560
>> trying to get a little revenue to pay

323
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:19,440
for some of this.

324
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920
>> Well, except it was it's a whole thing.

325
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,440
I talked to Mr. wrong about it, but I

326
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,720
just want to make sure that as we're

327
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,839
considering it, we make sure that

328
00:14:25,839 --> 00:14:28,000
people, you know, we know people are

329
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
coming that people um are accommodated,

330
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
especially those who um also live

331
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,440
locally and park there. So, you're not

332
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,720
going to take they're not going to take

333
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,560
away the parking that currently exists

334
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,399
in front of the courts that will not be

335
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:40,560
removed even though they're doing um

336
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,720
things on Fair Avenue?

337
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,519
>> No, there's no plan to remove anything

338
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:47,360
even though they've talked about the

339
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,760
shed and some other things. So, that

340
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,120
>> there's plenty of space for the front.

341
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,240
So, we're going to leave the parking

342
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,920
there. We're going to allow still

343
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,519
parking on the grass

344
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,320
>> um on opposite for events. Usually, that

345
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,000
works out pretty well. We'd like to make

346
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,920
sure the buses aren't there. They take

347
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,360
up a lot of space trying to get them to

348
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,120
Fair Avenue. The area that you're

349
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,160
talking about, um that is a no parking

350
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,240
area. One of the things that we need to

351
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,240
talk about internally is the whole

352
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,839
what's good for the goose is good for

353
00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:16,240
the gander, which is it's easy to to

354
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,399
ticket one car that's parked there for

355
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,279
tennis. However, we have many events,

356
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:23,279
many very large events, Music Haven,

357
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:25,040
Caribbean Fest as such where people park

358
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,720
everywhere and then maybe the

359
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,880
enforcement is lax because it is just

360
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,560
overwhelmingly

361
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,639
uh out of compliance and then we have to

362
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:33,920
find out because then we would be

363
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,279
selective ticketing and we don't want to

364
00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:36,399
do that. We want to make sure that what

365
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:39,440
we do is uniform. So, um you know what

366
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,720
we'd have to do is make sure that we

367
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,160
have enough enforcement to cover what

368
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,240
we're doing and have areas of it. But

369
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,920
technically that area that's no parking

370
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,440
is no parking. We've talked about it

371
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,120
internally and that is a no parking

372
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,600
area. We can put including grass or some

373
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,759
kind of a sign like that, but we just

374
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:55,839
feel that people are probably parking

375
00:15:55,839 --> 00:15:57,680
there and if we put grass there, they'll

376
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,040
park on it. So then we're getting into

377
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,440
boulders and rocks and ropes and it's

378
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,240
something that we're going to have to

379
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,839
look at cuz the utilization of the park

380
00:16:03,839 --> 00:16:05,759
is at an all-time high and it's only

381
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:06,959
projected to go higher.

382
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:09,990
>> Mhm.

383
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,680
» Uh any other questions from any other

384
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,160
council members?

385
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,420
If not, I'll introduce.

386
00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:19,749
[Music]

387
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:21,120
» Thank you very much, Mr. W.

388
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,480
>> I'm here for a little while.

389
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,160
>> Oh, okay. You're right. Item number two

390
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,480
is authorizing the issuance of revocable

391
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,639
permit number 689 to Solstice Kitchen

392
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,120
LLC for a sign that will overhang the

393
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,800
city's right away on the facing building

394
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,160
at 515 State Street. Mr.

395
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,880
>> Yep. Uh Solstice Kitchen is the former

396
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,880
puzzles and Farmer Biblio Tech. Uh that

397
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,040
was the name of it. Um they are looking

398
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,440
to open up a new uh kitchen restaurant

399
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,920
and have a blade style sign similar to

400
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,320
what we have on the 400 block of State

401
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,720
Street. This is a revocable permit for

402
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,720
that sign. Um planning sees no issues

403
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,959
with this design and they submitted all

404
00:17:00,959 --> 00:17:03,680
the required paper.

405
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,559
>> Any questions, concerns?

406
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,640
I do have one thing though that I'd like

407
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,319
to bring up. It's not about the sign

408
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,880
necessarily, but about the um I always I

409
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,240
spoke to Mr. W about about the

410
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,720
establishment. Um did all of you get the

411
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,039
email from Miss Michael about the 500

412
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:23,600
foot look um hearing on this uh

413
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,400
particular place. Um, and what it is,

414
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,640
the 500 foot hearings is if an

415
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,720
establishment that serves alcohol on

416
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,640
site, um, is within 500 ft of other

417
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,799
establishments that do the same thing.

418
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:39,280
So, this one does when we look at

419
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,840
there's one across the street, there's

420
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Amber and Amber and Court down the

421
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,520
street and then there's 501. So, I just

422
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,120
want to make everyone aware that that's

423
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,960
out there. I'm not I don't think I don't

424
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,559
know what the implication is going to be

425
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:52,720
once they go to the hearing, but I did

426
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,480
even note the fact that there are

427
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,280
establishments within the 500 ft. So,

428
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,720
Miss uh Barash, um I if you could if you

429
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,240
could just um just provide for us

430
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,000
information, clarification whether any

431
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,360
of that's going to matter for this

432
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:07,200
particular establishment. I don't know

433
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,480
that it would matter with the sign

434
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,160
because maybe they could then decide not

435
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,480
to have alcohol on on on um on site and

436
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,440
the uh 200 foot there's also a 200 foot

437
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,440
um uh here rule and that has to do with

438
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,080
uh religious religious establishments in

439
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,679
schools and none of the the school

440
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:28,080
that's close to that is not within 200

441
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,600
feet because we already um established

442
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,440
that as well. So, I just wanted to make

443
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,880
you all aware desk school it's it's

444
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,679
within 500 feet but not within 200 feet.

445
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:39,120
So, I just wanted to make you all aware

446
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,880
of why you're getting that information

447
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,559
and what it's about and how it could

448
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:45,039
possibly impact us.

449
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:46,720
>> Did you have your hand up?

450
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,760
>> Did you have your Yes. So, I I just want

451
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,400
to say that, you know, whenever um we

452
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,480
own a property um and whenever

453
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,480
anything's opening close to us, there's

454
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,400
always a public hearing held and anyone

455
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,039
can go speak their their mind or object

456
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:05,280
to it. But I I don't understand what the concern is here.

457
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,120
>> Well, the concern is they're making you

458
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,799
aware that there has to be a hearing

459
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:12,160
because this place could fall in um

460
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,240
>> fall under that. And this public

461
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,679
hearing, by the way, is not in public.

462
00:19:15,679 --> 00:19:17,360
It's very clear that if you want to make

463
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:18,720
any remarks, you you would send them in

464
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,080
writing, but no one can appear.

465
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:20,480
>> Okay?

466
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,039
>> So, this person, this um public, this

467
00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:25,280
place in particular is serving alcohol.

468
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,760
So, whenever it's serving alcohol,

469
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,600
>> there's a public hearing that's within

470
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,640
500 ft. So, the concern is not the I

471
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,320
won't say the concern. I just want to

472
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,919
make sure that you're aware that it's

473
00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:37,360
happening. That's what this is about.

474
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:38,640
So, that it's happening. And that

475
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,320
happens a lot in the city and we get,

476
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,160
you know, notices, but I I just don't

477
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,240
understand why today we're just hearing

478
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,160
>> Well, this property I don't remember the

479
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,080
last time I got a notice regarding um a

480
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,200
public hearing for something that was

481
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:49,679
going to be in there.

482
00:19:49,679 --> 00:19:51,440
>> Right. Well, I do on Union Street when

483
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,080
things when bars and restaurants open. I

484
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,760
I'm just saying I just don't understand

485
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,400
why

486
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,080
>> that's you as an individual. This is us

487
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,160
as a municipality. So, the notice came

488
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,799
to the municipality to make us aware.

489
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:04,640
>> So, I'm making everyone aware of why

490
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,600
we're getting it.

491
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,039
>> Okay.

492
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,600
I I just wanted to note that um Novel

493
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Bibliotic, okay, um did also serve um

494
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,280
wine. I I was never there at night, but

495
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,720
I know that they did have that on their

496
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,880
menu. So, I don't know. I I I know that

497
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,720
it's a separate establishment and they

498
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,400
have to go to the liquor authority as

499
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,400
well for their own bourment, but

500
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,159
>> um that that establishment did have

501
00:20:28,159 --> 00:20:30,080
>> Well, it depends on it also depends if

502
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,960
you're serving food on the

503
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,799
establishment. It's it's not just that

504
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:34,240
they're serving alcohol. So, there's

505
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,799
some other things that come into place.

506
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:38,159
And the school is new.

507
00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:41,360
>> Yeah. And the school was prior to was

508
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:45,120
prior to uh I mean came after five 151

509
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:47,280
came after 151.

510
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,159
>> Yeah.

511
00:20:48,159 --> 00:20:49,919
>> Maj I saw your hand.

512
00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:50,799
>> Defer the mayor.

513
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:52,080
>> Okay. Mayor

514
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,080
>> this is a standard notification that's

515
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,159
been given for every one of those

516
00:20:56,159 --> 00:20:58,000
establishments. So

517
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,360
>> thank you. Thank you.

518
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:03,440
>> Except but this is like new. This is

519
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,039
like one of three within the area. So I

520
00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:06,480
think it may fall in the root. We'll

521
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,360
see. But Miss Williams,

522
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:10,880
>> I don't think there's any issue with

523
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,320
getting more information. I think part

524
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,000
of the assumption that we often miss is

525
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,919
that people that are viewing our meeting

526
00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:18,000
might not have a clear a clear

527
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
indication of what we are discussing. So

528
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,360
I think providing that additional

529
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,240
context should be valued and appreciated

530
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,600
and also make sure you give appropriate

531
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,360
consideration to anyone that is queuing

532
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:29,600
in for the first time.

533
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,760
>> Thank you. Any other questions or

534
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,200
concerns?

535
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,640
Yes, Mr. Rush. Um,

536
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,200
>> just for clarification as it relates to

537
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,880
the uh the matter at hand right now, the

538
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,640
revocable permit hearing um would not

539
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,840
necessarily have any um it wouldn't be

540
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,159
relevant to the permit because the

541
00:21:50,159 --> 00:21:52,559
establishment could still open

542
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:57,520
>> um without liquor um if they were to uh

543
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,600
not prevail during their hearing.

544
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,360
>> Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah. But I

545
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:02,720
just wanted to make sure people still

546
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:03,280
were aware.

547
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,320
>> Sure.

548
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,360
>> Thank you.

549
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:06,960
>> Any other questions or concerns?

550
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:07,919
>> I'll move this.

551
00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:10,080
>> Second. All's in favor.

552
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,440
>> Thank you very much.

553
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,600
>> Um

554
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,520
the next item number three is the award

555
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,840
the baby contract of Central Park Tennis

556
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,120
court improvements to Gallow

557
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,360
Construction Corporation. Mr. W.

558
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,120
>> Yep. So similar what we talked about, we

559
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:24,559
wanted to make sure all the agreements

560
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:26,159
and bids were together at once so that

561
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:28,960
we could be efficient. Um the city bid

562
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,559
the improvements to the Central Park

563
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:33,200
tennis courts. Uh we received seven bids

564
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,400
which is a nice amount of bids. Uh

565
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,480
several of them were very tight uh with

566
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,600
a low bid of Gallow Construction. Gallow

567
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,000
is a general contractor in the area that

568
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,799
we have worked with in the past. Um

569
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:48,880
originally we were hesitant and we did

570
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,520
call them um about that because they are

571
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,159
not a tennis specialty contractor. Uh

572
00:22:54,159 --> 00:22:57,200
however um they have a subcontractor who

573
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,280
will be doing all of their tennis work

574
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,440
and their subcontractor is one of the

575
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320
more respected in the northeast. So GW

576
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,520
will be local. They will be the GC doing

577
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,600
all the dirt work handling all the

578
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,600
grading and all the prep for the

579
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,440
subcontractor who will put in the

580
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,480
specialized concrete plane surfaces and

581
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,440
then a fencing contractor will come in

582
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,280
uh at the end and finish the fencing.

583
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,799
So, um there's a letter of

584
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:24,559
recommendation from our engineer who

585
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:26,720
spoke with Gallow um just to make sure

586
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,120
we have that and we are comfortable

587
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:31,120
moving forward

588
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:33,919
and and just know this is a

589
00:23:33,919 --> 00:23:35,679
very competitive bid. We did a lot of

590
00:23:35,679 --> 00:23:39,200
estimates and this is uh below those

591
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,039
estimates. I wouldn't say significantly

592
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:42,720
below but below which is good in today's

593
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,360
day and age that we got a bid that was

594
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:46,559
below our estimate.

595
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:48,400
>> Mhm. Well, I'm really I'm glad first of

596
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,320
all it was below the estimate, but also

597
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,000
that we're using a local company that

598
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,159
can subcontract. So, that's uh that's

599
00:23:54,159 --> 00:23:56,640
important. I know that we init we signed

600
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,080
something um saying that they didn't

601
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,360
need to have an apprentice program

602
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:00,880
because we were thinking there may be

603
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,640
places that out of state, but that still

604
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,159
falls in place here. Is that that's

605
00:24:04,159 --> 00:24:04,480
correct?

606
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,919
>> Correct. Okay.

607
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:07,600
>> The majority of the work will be the

608
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,480
subcontractor. The subcontractor work is

609
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,720
the bulk of the work. the the tennis

610
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,559
courts, they will be pouring all of the

611
00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:17,360
concrete and that is the bulk of the

612
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:18,960
work, but they will be doing it as a

613
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,960
subcontractor to the local firm.

614
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,000
>> Okay.

615
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:22,960
>> Mr. Williams,

616
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,720
>> I was just speaking to your comment

617
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,559
earlier about the bid coming in below.

618
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:29,279
Is it too early to tell like whether the

619
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:31,039
uh just industry in general with like

620
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:33,200
supplies and like materials just

621
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,120
skyrocketing? Is it starting to ease

622
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:36,400
down or

623
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,840
>> I don't I don't think it's starting to

624
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,080
ease. I think that um we talked with

625
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,960
them. They uh being local um you'll see

626
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,320
like Classic Turf, the company

627
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,000
themselves bid, they were actually tied

628
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,320
for second. Um they were coming from out

629
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,640
of town. Uh the other bid might have had

630
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,960
a little bit more on it. I I think that

631
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,400
certain things are starting to ease, but

632
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,600
I don't think we're seeing a lot come

633
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,120
down, but we are able to at least

634
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,559
estimate where we are a little bit

635
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:00,480
better than, you know, 3 years ago where

636
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,799
you had to pad everything uh quite a bit

637
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:04,880
to get to where we are. So, we're

638
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,159
excited about this. I'm actually uh if it moves today, I'm going to be

639
00:25:08,159 --> 00:25:09,520
making phone call tomorrow to try to

640
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,520
line things up so that we're trying to

641
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,039
expedite everything as soon as possible

642
00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:14,720
to get on get on their schedule, get

643
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,640
them out there.

644
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,880
>> Any other questions or comments?

645
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,240
>> Entertain a motion.

646
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:20,799
>> Second.

647
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:22,559
>> All those in favor?

648
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:23,919
>> Thank you, Mr. Wall.

649
00:25:23,919 --> 00:25:26,080
>> That's it for you. Um the next item is

650
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,159

651
00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:32,640

>> We're calling for the public hearing.

662
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:50,799
