and writing I asked her to create lloy
their names titles and the amounts that

34
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,680
they received I was supposed to receive
the information within a 72 hour time

35
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:12,199
frame as stated by the City attorney
Jones during the January 2025 city

36
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:17,080
council meeting that did not happen
within a designated time however I

37
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:21,360
finally receed the information a day or
two later after receiving the paperwork

38
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,560
I realized I needed some additional
information to complete my

39
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:30,520
research I the additional information
included the employment dates and

40
00:08:27,159 --> 00:08:35,120
retirement dates for each IND on thepa
list in responding to my second request

41
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:39,880
I did receive that information within
the 72 hour time frame now what did my

42
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,680
research
uncover there is a letter attached to

43
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:49,720
this list of employees to the list of
employees who receive payouts from Miss

44
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:56,120
Laura Harts who is the CPA of party
company I assume this is the accounting

45
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,959
firm who hired who was hired by mayor Al
the introduction of the letter States

46
00:08:58,079 --> 00:09:03,600
thank you for providing us
with the request from city council

47
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:09,959
regarding the remaining ARP funds with
the city of B one request from a council

48
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:14,640
person was to research arpa premium I
did ask a few councilman had they made

49
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,040
the request and they told me no they
told me the mayor did all of this on her

50
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:24,279
own this means that the that Miss har
began the process without any discussion

51
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:28,360
or approval from the bachor city council
the city council controls the budget so

52
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:33,959
how was the mayor able to
disperse ,7

53
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:40,560
3467 without approval from the bachor
city council the letter goes on to say

54
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:45,440
the arpa final rules allow for
retroactive payment of an hourly premium

55
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:51,160
pay as long as the period payment is not
for hours work prior to March 3rd 2021

56
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:57,040
which is the effective day of
thepa Miss Hart Miss Hart ends her

57
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:02,200
letter by saying this letter is in no
way intended to all the rules and

58
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,920
regulations governing the American
Rescue

59
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:10,040
plan I thinktime people put disclaimers
in therey to

60
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:14,040
C the mayor represents the executive
branch of government hence she does not

61
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:19,360
control the legislative or judicial
branches of government she is supposed

62
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:24,640
to work with the councel not strong arm
belief or deceive them I have reviewed

63
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,120
this payout list and the list clearly
reveals discriminatory practices with

64
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:33,920
the
payment why are for different people

65
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:41,839
there are so many discrepancies for
example Jim supervisor Terry Davis hired

66
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:45,000
show H shows February 10 2022 he was
paid

67
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:50,920
$2,000 however police patrolman
Elizabeth brixie whose hire date was May

68
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:55,639
31st 2022 only received $1,000 and she
is considered an essential

69
00:10:52,720 --> 00:11:00,680
worker Cemetery supervisor Mark Alfa
received $2,000 and he was hired March

70
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,680
18 198
but Mr Terry Davis had only been

71
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:08,120
employed approximately 10 months and
received the exact same

72
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:15,279
amount I on the other hand started July
1st 2017 and resigned December 28 2022 I

73
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:19,360

but main his employee Kendrick Johnson

74
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:24,000
who was hired on December 28
2022 and he was paid

75
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:29,480
$2,000 which means he had only been
employed for three days with the city of

76
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:34,720
Bachelor security officer Ronica Johnson
12 21 2022 and she was paid $1,000 for

80
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:56,560

88
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:42,199
others I've named who worked for seven
to 10 months and why would fire driver

89
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:46,880
Jeremy defi who was hired 1119

$1,333

96
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:22,959
33 I also noticed that Frederick
Hatfield H shows

97
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:28,639
61422 and he received $1,000 but he
worked for the city of bash for at least

98
00:13:25,199 --> 00:13:31,920
15 years before resigning and returning
in

99
00:13:29,839 --> 00:13:37,680
year but but if we're going by the
mayor's plan that was

100
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:40,959
recommended by Mrs Hart um wouldn't that
disqualify him from being able to

101
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:44,920
receive arpa
funding because you you you wasn't

102
00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:51,199
supposed to resign am I
correct okay so record

67 Yolanda was hired to to fill Pam's

106
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,279
place when she
retired on top of all the Nam that I

107
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:21,560
just listed the mayor paid four
assistant Corners James Marsh Ryan Floyd

108
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:25,839
Scott Floyd Rick penon ,000 each last
time I checked Corners do not work for

109
00:14:23,959 --> 00:14:30,560
the city they work and are paid through
the Parish police year so I would love

110
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:34,680
to know the proc behind that one as well
it must be a reason um you know and I'm

111
00:14:33,079 --> 00:14:38,720
just calling it out cu I just want to
understand because I I truly thought cor

112
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:44,079
was paid you know by
the based on my research and Analysis

113
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:49,440
mayor Olive has proven to be very
vindictive and financially irresponsible

114
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:54,000
the mayor has proven to be highly
discriminatory as it relates to this

115
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:57,759
payout as a result of the city council's
fail to property research study and

116
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:01,160
analyze this situation they are
indirectly respons responsible for

117
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,800
aiding and abetting the mayor in her
fraudulent Financial practices against

118
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:09,360
the city of B
Louisiana therefore I have a few

119
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,519
important recommendations for the bachor
city council number one make a motion to

120
00:15:11,959 --> 00:15:17,959
immediately compensate employees who
qualify for the arpa retal payment but

121
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:24,800
did not receive funds because it was
more than just

122
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:33,680
me number two immediate reg
sorry real slow number two

123
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:38,800
resignation of Mayor Betty number three
I request that criminal charges be filed

124
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:45,639

Public's best interest and Mal office

129
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,959
thank you all for your time that be

131
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:33,319
resarch I like make

132
00:16:51,720 --> 00:17:00,880
research research who eligible to be
paid be

133
00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:05,120
El they fall under that term and we find
we do a research and find any employee

134
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,280
that comes under that terms and
condition they should be

135
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:26,640
paid I com last in last's meeting I did
ask for a list of um not only the

136
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:31,400
employees that received it but the
employees that possibly were eligible

137
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:36,640
so for the record I asked for that last
month and I have not received that yet I

138
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:40,640
asked who would make it even fall closer
qualifications I want to see

139
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,559
I first I

140
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,039
to but I said in

141
00:18:08,159 --> 00:18:12,799
attorney
got

142
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:22,640
frame the the inial
list and when I sent the email I C all

143
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:27,400
the counsel and as I resp as I responded
backney City attorney I made sure I was

144
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:32,440
including you all so once I got the
information

145
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:37,159
first that included this's letter right
I asked some coun seen

146
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:32,320
recall asking his heart myself about the
deadline date

147
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:38,200
I had some feeling that has been done
properly and I think what going to

148
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:45,320
happen unless we come up with some type
of a or some type of resolution to to

149
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:52,120
amend the budget and do some rescue F
make the necessary adjustment once we

150
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:57,559
find out who's eligible you know because
everything was done so quickly and last

151
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,559
minut you know we doing last minut
Contin

152
00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:11,720
I think once we we find out who anybody
can file a claim say I'm for this

153
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:17,520
because of this Fe submitted to the
court office whoever need to be

154
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:22,360
submitted to and then once that is
done we uh look at what kind of money we

155
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:27,000
look at where the money going come from
that they

156
00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:31,360
requ
also of

157
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:37,159
ideas of what we would like to see like
for myself for example it was a couple

158
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:43,919
things maybe like U enhancing the parts
but one of my um ideas

159
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:48,640
was uh cost a living bonus we wasn't
ready aware of

160
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:53,159
the Prem
until and that's exactly I said

00:20:53,280 --> 00:21:00,559
in you have we have to you all have to
be willing to enforce

162
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:23,799

all the this that here today I can speak
I

171
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:18,559
think this was only given to us the last
minute we I think it our eyesight and

172
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:23,520
the mission tree came along and then we
start researching looking into it we I

173
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:30,320
said we this was not even put in the
line item of the 24 25 budget something

174
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:34,080
attached to got past that stage and like
you say well I just want to speak for

175
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:40,159

to I'm speaking from

182
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:28,960

secure I did not personally go through
any list and pick out any Nam pleas

184
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,520

00:24:53,399 --> 00:25:00,320
good evening to everybody my name is
Robin Simmons and I am the owner

189
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:10,039
my husband and
children it's at 918 Washington I'm not

190
00:25:06,919 --> 00:25:16,480
a native of Bast but my husband is so
are my children but this is a home that

191
00:25:12,399 --> 00:25:24,679
I have called my home for 43 years we
have been in bus 43 years at 918

192
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:24,679
Washington Street can you not hear me

193
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:35,039
I thought didn't need it but I'm here
tonight to speak about the trash and the

194
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:39,960
white in our
community it's important to me I don't

195
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:43,679
live in the city but I do own pretty
much a city block at 918 North

196
00:25:41,919 --> 00:25:50,840
Washington and 10 other addresses that
are around there and

197
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:56,640
we what I gave y'all is a copy of the
list of properties that was emailed to

198
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:01,320
the code enforcement officer on February
19th

199
00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:06,440
Reform Act 2024 was passed by the city
council I personally drove by every one

200
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:12,960
of these addresses this
afternoon one of them number N I could

201
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:17,279
not find I don't know that that exists
but I think address is wrong and then

202
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:24,960
number has been down but the rest of
them are the same or worse than what

203
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:29,279
they were and I'm just in a year I feel
like some of that should have been

204
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:36,120
handled I don't
but um I am concerned and about about

205
00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:42,440
our city and I'm very concerned about
people that come our C next month on

206
00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:49,640
March we will have our annual bck
contest and it comes thousands of people

207
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:54,240
over a thousand will come from every
corner to our city Breen in our

208
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:59,600
restaurants they're staying in our
hotels they're buying gas at our gas

209
00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:06,640
stations anding every
Corridor of Bas and they're passing some

210
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:12,600
very undesirable looking places to get
to meet and it's embarrassing to me and

211
00:27:11,159 --> 00:27:20,279
it should be embarrassing to all of us
we are proud of our city and I proud to

212
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:24,480
be here but we need help and keep
beautiful I'm not on that committee but

213
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:31,399
I know some of the people that are and
they are great individuals that

214
00:27:28,679 --> 00:27:36,399
for this city and they get
paid and I don't know how they go about

215
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:42,440
this but I know that they willing to
help they're will to if there's somebody

216
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:47,960
that's that AFF it that needs help their
they're there to help and all they have

217
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:52,399
to do is just ask them and and they made
this list and they are tirelessly riding

218
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:56,559
around trying to find properties and
while I was looking there was a lot more

219
00:27:54,440 --> 00:28:02,080
properties and one thing that has
nothing to do with properties next to B

220
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:06,440
the road is torn up and it's just mud
and I was told that's been there for

221
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:10,279
almost a year the road is blocked and
we're proud of our Rams and all these

222
00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:16,600
people come to our basketball games and
our football games and our baseball

223
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:19,919
games and they I mean that's a mess and
they're coming down marable and there's

224
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:28,840
a lot of mes on marable it's not a main
drag but we just we just need to address

225
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:34,519
that if y'all would to try to help clean
organizations and there's businesses

226
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:37,960
that'll to help
um whatever they

227
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:46,279
call know that they GRS that will help
tear down some of these properties I'm

228
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,960
probably speaking out of term but I
think they could probably help elderly

229
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:58,159
people get rid of those cars in their
yard that they don't want and they are a

230
00:28:53,080 --> 00:29:03,320
tool that we need to use in the city and
from a business person's

231
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:09,399
perspective please let's clean up our
city to make us proud because they're

232
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:13,799
coming they're coming in droves to see s
sptings and other places in this town

233
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,799
and I want them to be PR I want to be
proud

234
00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:39,880
with

235
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:47,399
anticip it
out work

236
00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:53,799
be out and before
football

237
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:57,799
started at same time
samees fled

238
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:13,440
I think call his name he was here his
entire house flooded

239
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:20,720
because what
I let us table this because the urgency

240
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:26,440
was this man losing all of his property
because our drainage system was not

241
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:31,600
working we tabled it at the time to take
care of the drainage system so and the

242
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:35,840
drainage still hadn't been taken care of
on the other street that is why I said

243
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:40,320
let's prioritize that's a big word for
me

244
00:30:37,159 --> 00:30:45,720
priori flooding we need to fix the
flooding and then we would go to fix

245
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:50,159
that road just because we did not we all
agreed to do that and I told it was my

246
00:30:47,919 --> 00:30:58,159
district and I did want to take care of
the flooding first so was a priority

247
00:30:53,600 --> 00:31:02,240
thing not that I ever said don't fix it
Pi it back

248
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:09,519
off I asked the
engineer he stated that it need to be

249
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:16,440
done but it wasn't urgent to the shut
down shut down so we were surprised when

250
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,440
the shut down

251
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:33,039
that mean going get back to it next

252
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:45,200
weable
proceess had to get so we

253
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,200
had we had

254
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:56,799
noed TR
reason they got to look at it I think

255
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:01,480
the price was way higher than what they
anticipated

256
00:31:58,519 --> 00:32:01,480
so it's

257
00:32:02,039 --> 00:32:11,159
station it should never been bled off
because was

258
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:11,159
noer to saf and come from

259
00:32:21,639 --> 00:32:27,919
engine that should be open Mr

260
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:34,519
who who ordered that road to be closed I
guess that's what we need to establish

261
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:41,880
because they've been going back and
forward for the last three months the to

262
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,880
me reason that cannot be

263
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000

00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:11,079
Bast High School 1973 so that tells you
something but I'm just here to ask

295
00:36:06,359 --> 00:36:17,280
you to behold how good and how pleasant
it could be if the city of vast was

296
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:21,280

that our city is in need of

297
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:27,839
renewal
Rejuvenation revitalization and

298

City should be kept beautiful keeping B

299
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:41,240

agree keeping B beautiful would help to

300
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:48,400
solve mental health problems that exist
in our community as well as the crime Mr

301
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:52,640
Patterson just said that he was about
keeping Bast safe that's important to

302
00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:59,119
him that's important to me as well
keeping Bast beautiful is to act in a

303
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:06,480
proactive man rather in a reactive
manner to our problems given the right

304
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:11,400
conditions the people here could
Thrive and thank you for this

Henry
746

349
00:42:18,119 --> 00:42:27,760
District um I Rose to um I basically had
one comment but I'm going to pick I'm

350
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:33,960
going start backing off the
said they talking about black uh there

351
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:39,119
is a thing that's called keep more house
beautiful but I don't think a lot of

352
00:42:36,359 --> 00:42:44,680
citizens understand exactly what uh keep
more house beautiful me and what that

353
00:42:41,720 --> 00:42:49,160
project is uh from my understanding and
talking to people I think there are a

354
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:54,760
lot of people that think we're just
talking about up here inside up here

355
00:42:51,440 --> 00:43:00,240
around Courthouse down the main Avenues
and things of that nature

356
00:42:57,559 --> 00:43:05,240
where we have a lot of businesses but
keeping more house beautiful ought to be

357
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:11,480
about should be about and needs to be
about the entire community of

358
00:43:08,359 --> 00:43:17,920
Bast going outside into those side
streets those streets as one way in and

359
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:22,800
one way out where you have a dead end
and where you have a lot of dumping over

360
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:28,800
on Ma feet I think it was the the area
was cleaned up maybe one or one or two

361
00:43:25,319 --> 00:43:35,760
times before pass through there now it's
become a big Dumping Ground what do we

362
00:43:31,839 --> 00:43:42,000
do for places like that uh that keeps
coming around you know every six months

363
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:47,720
and it needs cleaning up do we install
cam is that a place maybe we can install

364
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:53,160
some cameras can we possibly look at uh
heightening the uh fine level increasing

365
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:57,760
the fine level uh for lers because
that's just as important as any road

366
00:43:55,720 --> 00:44:04,920
downtown I'm
minimize anything but it needs to be

367
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:10,920
made clear to the public to every
citizen and master that keeping more

368
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:19,440
house beautiful is about South
Washington East Madison West Madison Van

369
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:26,559
Avenue uh nutam Avenue all the streets
with in the uh confines of the city of

370
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:33,480
the city and I think if we if we do
there we can do uh to uh maybe put the

371
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:38,480
word out about that because a lot of
people don't get interested in things in

372
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:45,599
in programs like that because they think
we're only talking about a specific area

373
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:50,760
and again every street every road every
Avenue everything here in Bast needs

374
00:44:48,559 --> 00:44:57,800
needs attention and I think that's where
a lot of our a lot of our uh a lot of

375
00:44:53,880 --> 00:45:02,640
our attention has gotten away from those
as opposed to our downtown so again I

376
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:08,040
want to make sure that everybody
understands that keeping more

377
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:13,359
house beautiful is more than just about
keeping more house beautiful because B

378
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:20,359
is the is the uh is is the seat of
morous Paris Bast is the seat of morous

379
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:28,800
Paris so we need the entire city of Bast
to be beautiful for more house uh to be

380
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:28,800
beautiful again thank you yes sir

381
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,359
my name is I

382
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:43,480
live9
Louisana and I'm

383
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:51,119
a
of I was

384
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:58,359
born October 7 1951 at General Hospital
I one of the first ladies to be

385
00:45:55,160 --> 00:46:04,000
going my com reference to what has been
spoken to about black and so for I work

386
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:14,559
for six years for the city Ambassador as
C offic ior with the fire chief and we

387
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:23,440
removed about 60 houses that
were there was a group of people who got

388
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:23,440
an injunction to stop

389
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:34,240
as experiment for train
burn

390
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:43,079
of I personally know is not funding to
bring houses down a lot of people think

391
00:46:41,079 --> 00:46:50,280
the city has money they
don't but the other thing that I came

392
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:55,480
comment about I've been following
Council

393
00:46:51,599 --> 00:47:00,480
meetings and I've heard the ma mention
several times

394
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:07,800
to do different things but I never heard
one counil person say that they worked

395
00:47:04,079 --> 00:47:07,800
on anything to

396
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:22,520
get not anybody and one of the
things it appears the council has

397
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:28,079
delegated their responsibility to
the if each one of you work to try to

398
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:34,079
get
uh grants of help even within the

399
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:39,680
community try to get churches and
organizations to network together to

400
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:43,640
clean up some of this stuff we would
have a better option but all I hear is f

401
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:49,720
and
blame I'm a lifelong citizen I've never

402
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:58,359
want to live anywhere else with
that but it's apparent that we have more

403
00:47:55,359 --> 00:47:58,359
interest

404
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:07,090
[Applause]

405
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:20,520
improve the summer we had a municipality
conference and there was a session H

406
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:34,119
in were session H at the municipality
conference in swport Louisiana where

407
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:39,760
this city or any other municipality in
the city of B will fill out application

408
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:45,880
up to $2 million to take care elated
houses clean up community and also what

409
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:50,559
it Calla or something Happ we could
apply for but there was no action taken

410
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:54,240
on it and uh I just want to share that
with the this C I'm up to defend this

411
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:57,640
Council but we're doing the best we can
I'm defend our marriage well don't get

412
00:48:55,799 --> 00:49:02,240
me
okay but when you come up and say what

413
00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:08,359
the body do that you try to separate too
much of that but we what the mayor tell

414
00:49:05,839 --> 00:49:12,200
us we try to do the best we can cuz she
she's she's the chief

415
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:16,640
executive now if she don't tell us we
don't

416
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:23,000
know and one other thing um we have been
told every almost every meeting the is

417
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:28,160
over day operations and if I was a wrer
you better believe i'

418
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:32,240
beting I am not a I'm a nurse by
profession I try to work with the

419
00:49:30,119 --> 00:49:39,400
community but you supposed to use the
expertise that you have to help this

420
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:39,400
city go forward I not a

421
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:48,920
iason when you talking about grant
writing when this Council knew about a

422
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:54,839
grant it's already written and we never
get to M we just said that was a grant

423
00:49:50,599 --> 00:49:59,319
such and such a program p e p I never
heard of but that's a gr for see other

424
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:04,079
words we got to be more we got to be
more transparent one of the

425
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:08,160
other Administration need to be more
transparent with

426
00:50:05,599 --> 00:50:14,559
this La of transparency is probably the
biggest problem we have in our

427
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,559
community here say with the

428
00:50:20,119 --> 00:50:29,200
c items on the agenda
lisw provides

429
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:35,520
has the opportunity to address this
board prior to our taking action on an

430
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:40,079
agenda item at today's meeting members
of the public will be given an

431
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:45,720
opportunity to speak on any item before
a vote is taken you will be afforded

432
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:50,680
five minutes to make your comments and
the entire public comment period will be

433
00:50:48,599 --> 00:50:56,240
limited to 30 minutes unless an
extension is granted this is not a

434
00:50:53,640 --> 00:51:02,520
question and answer session where you
can ask questions and demand answers of

435
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:06,319
the board members mayor or the city
employees we have

436
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:27,760
now I respect everybody's
op but when you know the functionality

437
00:51:24,799 --> 00:51:33,319
of the city government misleading state
that Mr Le just made very misleading and

438
00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:40,200
I'm very disturbed by that because I get
up every day to do the best I can I

439
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:45,799
challenge you now you talk about grants
who wrote the grants or was it offered

440
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:49,960
to the city of Bast but that falls under
day-to-day operations what I want to

441
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:55,640
know is show me how many grants that
this man have since the public got this

442
00:51:53,559 --> 00:52:02,359
misconception that the grant writing is
done by this

443
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:06,960
Mar I I I I I beg to differ with you
because I kind of know I worked I know

444
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:12,400
how I work and that was a Mis statement
and when it comes to the reputation of

445
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:16,680
the city council I stand on what we have
been doing because we've been trying to

446
00:52:14,359 --> 00:52:22,640
make progress with this city trying to
work with the mayor and we have met with

447
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:27,480
the mayor before we come into this me
and then when we get in here things

448
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:32,680
change I don't want to change back to
the grant saying that the May is the

449
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:39,119
only one look for grants that is that is
that is that is not

450
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:43,520
true not true in no sense and if the
Amica could provide us with how many

451
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:47,920
Grant she written in three or four years
versus the grant that was given to the

452
00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:52,920
city of bastor and then I may be able to
take a little bit of responsibility for

453
00:52:50,119 --> 00:52:57,799
not applying all of ourselves but don't
come to this Council me and try to act

454
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:02,079
like f because if you know what goes on
behind closed doors if you come to a

455
00:52:59,799 --> 00:53:06,599
finance me and then I'll be able to
explain to you what we're really talking

456
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:11,960
about because we try to keep the piece
up here in some decoral but if you

457
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:16,839
really really know the real fight what
the real fight was about you would be

458
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:22,440
amazed and you would be astounded
because you all it's it's it's two sides

459
00:53:18,839 --> 00:53:27,640
to the story three sides it's my side
Administration side then that's a Truth

460
00:53:24,319 --> 00:53:33,880
side so the TR is in the
beholder in the telling you need to get

461
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:37,559
remove the person whether it's myself
the mayor councilman green remove it and

462
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:43,559
look for
facts and I and I I I I really really

463
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:48,640
I'm disappointed in that statement
because that's a divisionary tactic we

464
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:53,359
here to work together not to compete
against each other we here to uplift the

465
00:53:50,599 --> 00:53:58,440
city of B not to divide because when you
divide A House Divided a sure fall

466
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:06,839
you also
that

467
00:54:03,799 --> 00:54:14,200
must I'm out here clean up every time
the you know anything myt I'm here

468
00:54:09,359 --> 00:54:14,200
cleaning up so I I know that's misle

469
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:23,119
St I just feel like it was staged I'm

he worked for the city and public works
and he worked very hard but he made a

481
00:56:09,119 --> 00:56:20,599
suggestion to kmb and to others as well
that possibly we could start partnering

482
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:27,000
with property owners and approaching
them about they part of the demolition

483
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:32,760
cost and we part of the demol
contract signed by property owner as

484
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:40,599

of money to be provided we would pay the
money directly to theer own we don't get

487
00:56:50,079 --> 00:56:59,680
invol
who now another stipulation

488

he can tell you about it it's a simple
process we have the contract drawn up

532
01:02:39,559 --> 01:02:49,400

535
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,640
we have

536
01:03:05,039 --> 01:03:08,039
EnV

537
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,440
original5

538
01:03:18,119 --> 01:03:30,839
question the resue American Rescue
plan I see here clean

539
01:03:26,079 --> 01:03:35,599
for return to the tax Ro we all some
$200,000 that money being

540
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:39,839
used
approved you go back and get your

541
01:03:49,039 --> 01:03:59,279
american, but you got 200,000 for 25,000
but you have 200,000 in your budget

542
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:59,279
have been approved 24 25

543
01:03:59,359 --> 01:04:02,359
budget

544
01:04:06,319 --> 01:04:16,279
y' the budget was aded October that was
he say was part of budget so we after

545
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:22,279
once it adoped we didn't come back
forward to to amend the budget to remove

546
01:04:19,799 --> 01:04:24,319
it so once the budget was adopted so was
that

547
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,720
$200,000

548
01:04:37,799 --> 01:04:44,720
$200,000,000
reason I

549
01:04:41,839 --> 01:04:48,079
Wasing down
because I was

550
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:58,880
thinking of some of $55,000 I can pay
over time for the city workers to down

551
01:04:56,160 --> 01:05:01,880
City
theity

552
01:05:02,839 --> 01:05:10,079
so all
of to to employes

553
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:26,319
to at time so it's but I you said the on
about that we can't those but I'm not

554
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:31,480
talking about those talking
can be T down and we can utilize the

555
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:36,279
city equipment and now what we can do
also to save money you guys budget each

556
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:40,760
coun in their District can
notify inform you which property need to

557
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:46,839
be down and we can pay the over time to
the city workers I was told it only take

558
01:05:43,039 --> 01:05:51,480
like a day maybe two days to down C
especially if you have one to two give

559
01:05:49,079 --> 01:05:59,240
three employ they take three days to
tear down so so I'm looking at

560
01:05:55,799 --> 01:06:05,119
off I'm just get I can say $500 a day
for each employee $1,500 so I can say 20

561
01:06:02,799 --> 01:06:13,039
20 grand I
probably in myri those we still have to

562
01:06:10,039 --> 01:06:13,039
for

563
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:42,160
the only way that we can dispose right
now is we hire a what they call a roll

564
01:06:37,799 --> 01:06:47,440
back through one of the trash services
and we have we have a track we can tear

565
01:06:45,279 --> 01:06:52,279
it down with a track but it's still
still has to be to a lamp

566
01:07:02,279 --> 01:07:10,680
we have a burn curtain located
atfield but we can only

567
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:18,240
burn trees
and that type of debris we

568
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:26,440
burn you have to speak toq
about burn like things that come from a

569
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:26,440
house shingles and

570
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,440
yeah it was there when I

571
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:47,359
got we still have

572
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:55,520
bur yes perod correct

573
01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:19,880
other words that we have to pay again
pay over but we just have to pay for The

574
01:08:16,199 --> 01:08:19,880
Dumping somewhere we have

575
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:24,440
to how would you

576
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:33,880
on the Tage I'm right now I'm spending
uh give me the high low right now I'm

577
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:38,159
spending almost $3,000 a month to empty
the two dumpsters that we have on the

578
01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:45,319
yard we just pick up trash on the
street so you say so it's yeah it's

579
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:50,920
usually calculated by the T they take it
in they weigh it and then they you know

580
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,920
and then they build us

581
01:08:50,960 --> 01:09:01,839
according I get like able toze
that we was giv

582
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,839
outp roughly

583
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,920
4500

584
01:09:19,480 --> 01:09:23,480
for be

585
01:09:42,679 --> 01:09:45,440
there is no

586
01:09:48,440 --> 01:09:58,320
administra a private contractor we have
a private contractor likeing

587
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:03,360
ARP funding that would given to each
district now that have nothing to do

588
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:09,800
with the city being in any type of
violation we go out have a independent

589
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:14,520
contractor to do it and pay it out our
our rescue money americ

590
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:24,560
miney as long as it

591
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:32,920
out
anyil

592
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:41,480
anything I think be the way
to now my

593
01:10:37,159 --> 01:10:47,040
district money I'm I'm looking into a
private

594
01:10:43,159 --> 01:10:51,000
contractor to car on those du elor
houses in the community because they

595
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:57,120
they don't have to they're responsible
for dumping she whatever consist on that

596
01:10:53,360 --> 01:11:02,640
property they are City they they'll have
to stay within compliance with the DQ

597
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:06,960
and all those people now with that said
with that

598
01:11:04,199 --> 01:11:13,120
said with the ARP
money those private contractors can do

599
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,120
things we can't do as city

600
01:11:13,159 --> 01:11:21,320
government I think I think it be more
feasible for us to contract out a

601
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:27,040
private contractor and let them take
their responsibility and if we can

602
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:27,040
receive

603
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:33,400
a
invoice whatever you may want to call it

604
01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:39,520
with a private contractor for a
particular piece of property that have

605
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:43,000
been judic by the p and I think I SP Mr
joh we got to look into some legal

606
01:11:41,199 --> 01:11:48,440
aspect of the ownership but they want to
sign out like this car say if the owner

607
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:55,520
agreed to it fine you know we can move
forward okay and then if the owner don't

608
01:11:51,639 --> 01:12:01,360
agree to it I think we
be able to move forward under our law

609
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:07,239
the city of B because it's a heal and a
to our community we can no longer let

610
01:12:04,679 --> 01:12:11,360
the owners will not take care of their
responsibility to tell us how we going

611
01:12:09,199 --> 01:12:17,600
conduct our city and we already have an
A since

612
01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:25,360
1953 and we need to take action and with
the 50 under doll that I have in my

613
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:32,400

I agement once we take out a contract

to City of it's just simp we have
ownership

632
01:15:01,199 --> 01:15:08,760
interest not
aess we just have a stake in the money

633
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:13,560
they can actually get let's say a
property's been adjudicated which you of

634
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:18,840
see they to sell it we never actually
title put our name we just transfer our

635
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:23,679
ability to do it to
private so a property says adjudicated

636
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:29,679
to the parish or to the city you can
still redeem title ised through thatle

637
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,960
process
theer to the

638
01:15:33,199 --> 01:15:37,120
citynot no because you're not the

639
01:15:38,679 --> 01:15:43,040
only the only thing that's adjudicated
is

640
01:15:48,400 --> 01:16:01,400
not no it doesn't what's the differ in
process somebody purchase

641
01:15:55,159 --> 01:16:01,400
what they do Pur and

642
01:16:04,159 --> 01:16:11,840
why right
toity right toell it but it doesn't us

643
01:16:08,719 --> 01:16:16,679
we don't have we just have we hav
interest we Haven officially giv notice

644
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:21,520
to those owners for the law which reques
us to pass saying yes we're taking

645
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:26,199
what's so what's the point of the what's
the point of the

646
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:31,159
consult property because they're selling
our right to have that property if you

647
01:16:28,679 --> 01:16:34,400
take on the property by title you take
theability of that

648
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:50,800
so only adjudicates
taxes adjudication notf title

649
01:16:48,159 --> 01:16:58,560
adjudication gives you the right to you
can take title from by fil you have pass

650
01:16:55,360 --> 01:17:04,840
and that has to be served on the owners
days from there that's adjudication is

651
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:09,120
just tax it's not it's you have the
right to do it but it doesn't mean that

652
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:12,760
it transfers title you have the right to
get title transfer you but you have to

653
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:26,639
ex so some of the houses inct be down

654
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:50,639
inad Mr Jake please see the houses in my
district that can be down our can be

655
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:50,639
tore down by the city and let us

656
01:17:52,639 --> 01:17:56,639
knowed list

657
01:18:01,719 --> 01:18:03,800
did

658
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:23,840
you
personated once we get once we because

659
01:18:22,159 --> 01:18:29,239
we really don't get a title because
judic they property we don't have that

660
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:34,600
property until you get the title what we
have is we have the right to get the

661
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,600
title we never

662
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:49,880
go we have have pass

663
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:54,000
for pass

664
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:19,639
own yes yes I can and that's what so
when they call these on these properties

665
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:25,239
or thing they ask me what the title is I
go run the title on it's adjudicated and

666
01:19:22,480 --> 01:19:29,080
the notice is in the law
specifically in 47

667
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:41,040
22 having a right andise you have the
right to Silent not a lot of

668
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:50,440
people a right gives you the ability to
exercise something we have the right

669
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:56,080
once the taxes becomes adjudicated taxes
so what's the purpose we don't own

670
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:58,719
what's the purpose of clean
well

671
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,840
because

672
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:17,920
obviously own property we can goer clean
up well you can go you can go on that

673
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:24,080
property and clean it up if you s out
the

674
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:24,080
no so we can do the same

675
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:42,520
understand yes there

676
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:59,400
a can take any action necessary they
that they declare

677
01:20:54,960 --> 01:21:04,600
a n a half I don't care if adjudicated
notated a

678
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:13,280
half so to the community we have a lot
of that so to the community the city of

679
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:19,520
B can go in clean up we just can't take
title of the proper that understand that

680
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:25,080
right yes you are reading that right
however the general laws in the state of

681
01:21:22,639 --> 01:21:32,639
Louisiana involve
what is consed code

682
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:37,560
enforc and further deol destroy the your
Charter BS to the general laws of the

683
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:41,880
state now specific laws likeon act your
Charter Trump but your Charter bows to

684
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:48,639
the general laws of State the general
laws of the state requ a procedure and a

685
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:53,560
process that we have Adan to reflect the
laws but yes the charter does say that

686
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:56,520
provision that is correct however that
provision

687
01:21:58,700 --> 01:22:09,600
[Music]
St to one of the sites here down next to

688
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:16,000
the bank post office
andity want to say hey this is a dang to

689
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:21,400
side have to this community send them a
notice to that I think we had and if

690
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:26,880
they do not act then we have the right
to go in and do it our

691
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:31,320
corre you have you have it underne your
ordinances that the

692
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:37,440
state we can do that and it's one of
theard of having a 1956 Charter state

693
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:44,199
laws that are every year okay do we need
to I'll try to what do we waiting on to

694
01:22:41,199 --> 01:22:51,400

mean we got we got

695
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:56,960
$200,000 alligated for clean up and to
do this stuff beautify I think everybody

696
01:22:55,120 --> 01:23:03,600
want to
see on the P we

697
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:10,159
oury business and come
here why can't we move forward we got

698
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:16,040
$200,000 I mean we can use private
contractors or we can use our city

699
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:21,520
workers I mean but once we send these
notices out to these Property Owners we

700
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:26,440
cannot continue to let them turn their
noes up to this community as we go down

701
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,080
Ander

702
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,920

build

710
01:24:51,520 --> 01:25:02,679
theion probably
need to be revised the ex have

711
01:24:59,679 --> 01:25:02,679
govern

712
01:25:10,119 --> 01:25:14,800
soed to St

713
01:25:17,239 --> 01:25:24,800
are I need to ask we take this out of we
have our

714
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,040
man

715
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:57,040
of

716
01:26:03,239 --> 01:26:11,400
comp well what what is preventing the
city from actually

717
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:31,440
implen that's what I'm trying to
we we we spent this time to pass the

718
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:35,880
laws to enact the laws now it's time for
us to enforce the laws which comes out

719
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:41,040
to dayto
operation like you said you continuously

720
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:46,119
let the people THB theirse up at us they
not do anything we can Environ I'm

721
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:52,239
talking about enforcement we can get
those people envir and

722
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:57,800
find correct the issue I will say this
the issue with Environmental

723
01:26:55,199 --> 01:26:57,800
don't

724
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:08,800
it's
so a judge but they refuse to come so we

725
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:15,800
going to Contin to pay a judge $1,000 a
month for no activity that's why there's

726
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:22,760
that is a first off the second thing is
that's why there

727
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:30,360
because to get people to participate you
generally speaking

728
01:27:25,119 --> 01:27:40,840
you would take of the properties and
tax people realiz bills are

729
01:27:34,480 --> 01:27:40,840
going so people are a lot ofer people

730
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:47,800
away people

731
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:59,000
they can come to the environmental Bo
explain to the judge what's going on

732
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:02,080
what's Happening that person say okay
we're going to work with you but you got

733
01:28:00,119 --> 01:28:08,239
to show us some progress so that
requires voluntary participation but

734
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:13,360
historically in the year and a leading
up to our change just was very low

735
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:18,360
participation environmental so the
concept was get them to see that we were

736
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:22,040
doing things where we didn't give
Environ the people who were here would

737
01:28:20,440 --> 01:28:26,000
say oh I'm going to go I'd rather have
more time than days

738
01:28:26,679 --> 01:28:32,520
what I'm getting
at people get the misconception that you

739
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:36,840
fight we trying to come up with
Solutions because we have enacted the

740
01:28:34,719 --> 01:28:43,480
laws and we've been stagnated nothing
has been done it's not blame gang the

741
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:49,000
end game is to get results we and
there's no results then there's no

742
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:53,520
results so are we supposed to just keep
sitting here and just playing like

743
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:57,440
something is getting done it's not
getting that's where ask you the

744
01:28:55,080 --> 01:29:05,280
question we pay a
judge we got environmental officer code

745
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:10,920
enforcement there has not been any
citations written not to my

746
01:29:08,719 --> 01:29:15,760
knowledge of private owners I'm not
talking about adjudicated property so

747
01:29:13,679 --> 01:29:19,719
what I'm saying is we looking for
solution we looking for to fix the

748
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:26,119
problem we got the laws enacted on the
book now we got to find a way to

749
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:30,400
complete the cycle you laws why not go
enforce the laws that's when you I ask

750
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:35,960
you which way to which is the best way
to go well my point is you say

751
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:42,719
environmental Court takes a little long
well what about the other why isn't the

752
01:29:38,639 --> 01:29:47,960
other Avenue being pursue what is the
problem I'm just just asking you

753
01:29:45,159 --> 01:29:53,040
attorney what is the problem you say
this way is long so if I'm I'm going

754
01:29:51,719 --> 01:29:56,560
back to what I
originally it's a twep thing if one way

755
01:29:55,400 --> 01:30:03,840
is not going to work you have the other
way well well ain't no way

756
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:03,840
work all I do is all I

757
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:13,719
do I just want I just want people to
understand that there's no we we're not

758
01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:17,400
impeding progress we actually passed the
laws so the laws can get done we've done

759
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:22,440
our part we not want we don't want to
blame because we are Community we just

760
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:27,760
want some results and we just you know
ask questions

761
01:30:25,199 --> 01:30:31,679
fight if you never ask questions you
never going to get

762
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:36,880
results so I just want to know which is
the best way to get it done if you have

763
01:30:34,719 --> 01:30:41,639
a if you have a property I would tell
you from a legal standpoint if you have

764
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:44,639
a property
own

765
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:59,960
responsive workan oner you have owner
who is respons more time

766
01:30:55,679 --> 01:30:59,960
envir judge each that's

767
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:09,800
two going right now I got one question
because we talk about waste of

768
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:14,440
spending you spending about three in in
three years you spent about

769
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:22,360
$330,000 between C enforcement the
secretary and the judge that's three

770
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:26,560
years fig so you spending that type of
money

771
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:31,800
with no results when I when I say no
results I mean no results I'm talking

772
01:31:28,719 --> 01:31:36,600
about no fines I can't find a fine if
you if I'm wrong please tell me what I'm

773
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:41,520
wrong has it been a fine in the last
three years yes I started

774
01:31:47,239 --> 01:31:55,840
in three years have it have this been a
fine given in the last three years there

775
01:31:52,440 --> 01:31:55,840
was one given in EnV

776
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:11,639
can just just together and come with Sol
problems not try

777
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:24,360
to I I just had a comment

778
01:32:25,639 --> 01:32:33,840
and we took time to pass these laws but
the bottom line no citations being

779
01:32:31,719 --> 01:32:38,600
nothing you don't take step one you
going get to step two you will never

780
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:46,560
have an active environmental court if no
citations are ever written so we just

781
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:52,920
sit around like Mr said wasting money
wasting money in our community is

782
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:57,639
horrible I talked to somebody and excuse
was given to me they want to know why

783
01:32:55,480 --> 01:33:03,159
tickets hadn't been citations hadn't
been written they said they called talk

784
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:07,800
to somebody the reason that was given to
them was something about a City Garage I

785
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:13,159
said sir you have to be kidding you must
have misunderstood nobody I don't

786
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:18,320
believe told you that because what a
City Garage have to do writing cations

787
01:33:16,639 --> 01:33:24,760
and somebody
going Court sound like a bunch of

788
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:29,199
excuses that's all we get
and I get tired of getting blamed for

789

members my name's Debbie rers pres of

833
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:53,360
planning and Z
commission uh this meeting we had three

834
01:40:49,599 --> 01:41:02,000
different special use requests
first special use permit was at 705 C

835
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:11,639
Lane that was a um request to put in
solar panels at the new location that

836
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:19,119
was torn down uh it's Sunbeam solar
LLC um they would be the same as the

837
01:41:16,119 --> 01:41:22,320
ones at 350 Jefferson which is behind
the old

838
01:41:25,719 --> 01:41:34,480
behind the data center over at the Old
Mill it's supposed to take three years

839
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:41,639
to complete the project and
um they would supposedly after they

840
01:41:38,119 --> 01:41:45,280
finish they're supposed to have 10 full
employees so we

841
01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:53,159
approve with this one yes ma'am

842
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:58,440
uh you said
you per yes

843
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:04,520
sir he

844
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:08,320
gave

845
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:19,960
noard contact when ISS a special perm uh
you are you referring to the city

846
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:26,000
council yes no sir why
was I was go

847
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:26,000
I'm just asking

848
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:38,560
question it's fine I don't mind a
question at all sir in our

849
01:42:34,440 --> 01:42:45,320
um book we have things that are
allowable by right and then we have

850
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:50,480
things that are allowable where the um
commission can make can issue a special

851
01:42:47,679 --> 01:42:55,040
use permit now there are things that
have to be approved by the city council

852
01:42:53,239 --> 01:43:00,440
there's some that we can just issue the
special use permit and this was one of

853
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:04,920
them according to the Chart that's in
the book okay I I want to see the book

854
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:11,040
because I was in C enforement to yes sir
and I think if you going give a special

855
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:15,719
permit to bring a company to B I think
it should come before the council I mean

856
01:43:13,719 --> 01:43:19,440
because we don't know what's coming into
our city it's just like an unelected

857
01:43:18,239 --> 01:43:23,840
board
determining what's coming to the city of

858
01:43:21,719 --> 01:43:30,800
B
we we have no we have no knowledge of a

859
01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:36,159
solar pan don't get meong I want the to
come in but when you have to switch and

860
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:40,440
give a special permit then that should
be I think a city council's job whether

861
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:46,360
I'm on the council or not I think when
you start dealing with the charter and

862
01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:50,599
you moving stuff around to fit a company
I think you need to I think it would be

863
01:43:48,440 --> 01:43:54,280
more appropriate for that to be brought
before the city council

864
01:43:55,360 --> 01:44:00,239
so the purp of
the

865
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:09,239
orig it's not that they wouldn't have
passed it's just that for that

866
01:44:06,679 --> 01:44:17,800
particular
um that particular Zone in the city it's

867
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:22,400
it's for mixed use and so that's the
reason we had to issue the special

868
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:27,880
permit instead of it just being approved
out

869
01:44:24,199 --> 01:44:32,520
so would approved right no it couldn't
have been approved by the uh code

870
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:37,520
enforcement officer himself there are
some things that he can approve that we

871
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:42,920
don't have to issue a special use permit
for so it couldn't have been approved by

872
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:48,320
him just out it had to have the
agreement of so another question

873
01:44:46,679 --> 01:44:54,760
both
projects what what do they pay on behalf

874
01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:54,760
of the city what

875
01:44:54,840 --> 01:45:07,119
uh added taxes uh right now the uh the
property is being assessed as open land

876
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:13,920
no improvements once the solar panels
are being built it's reassessed then as

877
01:45:11,239 --> 01:45:20,400
improved property therefore the city
gains more tax money than they would

878
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:20,400
have if it's just open and

879
01:45:20,480 --> 01:45:27,960
no let Mr you remember that board you
and I was talking about remember the

880
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:34,199
board that I
said you talked about told take it back

881
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:39,560
out because put it back in yeah Bo that
is in the cfor hold I'm just saying you

882
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:44,440
remember what I'm kind what I'm talking
about what I'm saying is you added

883
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:48,880
another board that's what I'm going here
these are unelected people that's making

884
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:54,280
changes
before when it like what she said you

885
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:58,639
can't do it out understand I was infor
when you see it when the Dot's there you

886
01:45:56,360 --> 01:46:04,760
can do it but when you have to make some
special accommodations I don't think

887
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:09,320
unelected board should be making those
type of decisions for the city of B

888
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:14,960
because we have constituents and I got
to get with my constituent and see would

889
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:20,040
they even want toone it for that or
would they want to make an exception so

890
01:46:17,480 --> 01:46:27,040
now I got to go tell them about this
this solar panel deal over a good thing

891
01:46:23,599 --> 01:46:30,119
but would you feel kind of bad if um you
got clients and they asking you and you

892
01:46:28,639 --> 01:46:34,800
got constituents or whatever in your
district and they asking you about a job

893
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:39,440
and you have no knowledge of it so
that's when I asked you before you

894
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:43,960
remember I keep Haring on what you bring
us everything that you prove and

895
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:48,360
disapprove therefore the counselor know
what's coming into the city of B Because

896
01:46:46,159 --> 01:46:51,840
if you just bring us something that you
disapprove we would have never knew what

897
01:46:50,679 --> 01:46:56,920
you
approve would like for you to bring us

898
01:46:55,400 --> 01:47:00,360
everything you know it's just a copy you
know what you approve and disapprove so

899
01:46:58,480 --> 01:47:04,960
we'll have some kind of knowledge of
what's businesses that's coming to Bast

900
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:08,520
because if I would have looked and seen
that thing and I know about code

901
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:12,239
enforcement I would say hey you know
what that problem need to come before

902
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:12,239
the city

903
01:47:15,639 --> 01:47:23,599
council I think I have your phone number
but anyway I can get I can copy the

904
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:26,199
pages
I

905
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:32,679
can
and would you like me to do that I got

906
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:37,119
I'm well aware of how it goes I'm saying
about I'm talking about the business

907
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:40,920
that you approve yes sir and disapprove
because I asked you I've been the first

908
01:47:39,480 --> 01:47:45,320
about two months I was on the counil
I've been asking about I've been asking

909
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:49,560
about I've been asking about the approve
and disapprove I've been asking but I've

910
01:47:47,119 --> 01:47:57,080
never received one from I've just been
just kind of patiently Wai well now

911
01:47:52,880 --> 01:48:03,199
agenda that we have on the meeting that
we meet at that if if something is

912
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:09,480
disapproved that's on this
agenda I could tell you about it now

913
01:48:09,719 --> 01:48:19,239
if if there's something that goes to the
code enforcement

914
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:27,159
officer and it's not approved just
because it's black and white in our

915
01:48:23,599 --> 01:48:32,520
Zone ordinance that this is in a certain
area and it cannot be approved we don't

916
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:36,960
see
that okay well I got a better solution

917
01:48:35,199 --> 01:48:41,239
there whatever you approve or disapprove
it's pretty simple would you please

918
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:45,560
provide when you come do your mon report
provide a

919
01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:51,000
copy and it goes for code enforcement
also when you approve application for

920
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:54,760
somebody with a business just provide us
with a cop

921
01:48:52,880 --> 01:49:00,239
I'll go by I'll tell you what I'll do
before the next meeting I'll just go by

922
01:48:57,080 --> 01:49:05,159
the code enforcement officer office and
the ones that we don't see I'll get

923
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:19,040
of yes sir because I
have concern about what

924
01:49:15,040 --> 01:49:19,040
bring citiz

925
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:36,280
we have one that right here to East city
hall right here they got we nobody going

926
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:41,679
they
were I think before any I don't know

927
01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:50,639
where you this
project I'm fam with this this company

928
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:54,880
create 10 jobs and kill all 30 35 3500
citizens right coming right into

929
01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:59,199
community and we got a great deal
concerned of that I think that should

930
01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:02,599
need to be Ted until this Council get
the full

931
01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:11,840
detail we
should we have Commit commit like ear

932
01:50:08,599 --> 01:50:18,119
they can't bring in IND City especially
inside the city limit who going affect

933
01:50:14,719 --> 01:50:24,920
the citizens of this city now I don't
think that here got P up and rning

934
01:50:23,159 --> 01:50:29,679
uh but before we go into the
international site the new site with uh

935
01:50:27,679 --> 01:50:36,520
the country out of Texas I think out of
Texas if I yes sir they Tas I spoke with

936
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:41,520
them already uh Dallas Texas Tas I spoke
them already because I got so many

937
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:49,880
causing concern about why coming inside
the city well the citiz 95% African

938
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:55,719
amans I think before you go any further
if you have approve you might disapprove

939
01:50:53,320 --> 01:51:02,679
the board people out there protesting
because there are some great concern of

940
01:50:58,719 --> 01:51:08,239
the citizen in this community about P
that stuff coming over their head C it

941
01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:13,520
may be I think it need to be T we can
get more detail and can ensure the

942
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:19,679
citizen that it's going to be safe you
know we just we got interational a part

943
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:25,040
for 100 years okay they finally thank
God God pray good on one hand

944
01:51:23,199 --> 01:51:28,920
okay we don't want to create the same
thing within this city limit where our

945
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:34,320
children have to go to school and and
and grow and and and

946
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:38,719
produce solar panels can be dangerous I
I think we probably the only city that I

947
01:51:36,159 --> 01:51:42,840
know I travel quite a bit around the
country that ever seen a solar panel

948
01:51:41,159 --> 01:51:49,400
with inside C
limit I see them all out Ria I see them

949
01:51:46,239 --> 01:51:53,040
in Cross I see going each Direction
outside the city limit down the within

950
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:59,400
the city
that's that's a a help to this community

951
01:51:56,520 --> 01:52:03,960
and I think that need to be table or you
going to have people out demon and going

952
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:09,159
make it wor what it is we can get to the
fact before we go and them approval to

953
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:18,159
come inside our city to create 10 job
and kill all 3500 people now I will say

954
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:23,000
one thing sure after our uh meeting the
I'm not sure if it's a code enforcement

955
01:52:20,639 --> 01:52:28,119
of his secretary
I don't know who sends out the letter

956
01:52:25,480 --> 01:52:33,679
but at any rate from that office there's
a letter sent out telling the people if

957
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:39,599
they're approved or they're denied the
only problem I see and I I'm I'm willing

958
01:52:36,719 --> 01:52:44,199
to do whatever y'all want me to do but
they may have already sent these people

959
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:47,000
a letter saying that they're approved so
I don't know if there's any kind of

960
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:53,159
legal
action against the city if we now say oh

961
01:52:50,800 --> 01:52:57,840
wait you're not approved now I guess
attorney J if they have a question we

962
01:52:55,679 --> 01:53:02,440
got attorney we can deal with that but I
hope attorney whoever they are Tak a

963
01:53:00,159 --> 01:53:07,920
citizen of this community under
consideration okay because you're

964
01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:12,880
talking about my grandchildren children
I probably W live another 10 15 years my

965
01:53:10,440 --> 01:53:19,280
grandchilden will yes sir and their
children going be with this I just don't

966
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:27,920
think it's appropriate to bring that
inside the city limit unless we Ure

967
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:32,079
by DQ whoever agency environment who can
ensure the city this not going to be a

968
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:37,679
half 10 jobs not going to hurt us one
way or another and for land whoever own

969
01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:43,840
the land going pay the
taxes right whoever but my understanding

970
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:49,520
they buy they they have a purchase
option to purchase this land from Total

971
01:53:46,199 --> 01:53:55,199
one they haven't been sign seal delivery
yet they making payments they makeit on

972
01:53:52,520 --> 01:54:01,239
know and then they make F the obligation
but right now to one is the tax well

973
01:53:59,880 --> 01:54:09,360
taxpayer
because I say this toal one sold it to

974
01:54:05,119 --> 01:54:13,480
them for $700,000 I may be wrong and
they turn around sold it back to toal

975
01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:18,000
one for
$600,000 that g place we cannot afford

1045
02:01:58,560 --> 02:02:08,000
at our Gage kind of tied to our it look
like it's a city problem like belongs to

1046
02:02:05,280 --> 02:02:13,239
the city but it belongs to a private
person

1047
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:18,760
well I mean have already given the
permit it's already been approved they

1048
02:02:15,440 --> 02:02:18,760
already op

1049
02:02:22,639 --> 02:02:26,040
who's the owner of it

1050
02:02:27,320 --> 02:02:36,079
um Steve's mobile mechanic service and
let me see if I can see the gentleman's

1051
02:02:33,320 --> 02:02:41,239
uh the the gentleman's individual name
is not own here so I'm

1052
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:46,320
Sorry appr
by back there what I'm saying I want to

1053
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:50,040
know the owner because we we got to make
sure that the owner know that this got

1054
02:02:47,719 --> 02:02:54,679
to be a it's got to be the area got to
be

1055
02:02:50,840 --> 02:02:59,960
clean is not a junkyard we we approve it
for what what does it approve for uh a

1056
02:02:57,800 --> 02:03:04,960
mobile mechanic Mobile Mechanic means
you go

1057
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:10,639
out well he's going to work on the cars
there at that shop that's not a mo I

1058
02:03:07,639 --> 02:03:15,679
mean that's a specific fure he's got on
there these a mobile mechanic mobile

1059
02:03:12,360 --> 02:03:20,159
means you go out to
place so that's a deception if you going

1060
02:03:18,480 --> 02:03:27,800
to have Mobile Mechanic on there you got
to go out turning that into a car shop

1061
02:03:24,119 --> 02:03:32,000
up town but you the application says
Mo just like in big cities when you call

1062
02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:36,400
the mobile M come to your house just
like I call mobile he come to my house I

1063
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:42,599
don't take my car to
him that's where needs the mile because

1064
02:03:38,760 --> 02:03:42,599
he drive and fix your car wherever it

1065
02:03:42,679 --> 02:03:52,040
is so I I think we since you approve I
think Council need to really we need to

1066
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:57,000
reconsider that
code enforcement go by there if he's

1067
02:03:54,440 --> 02:04:04,520
going have bu up there make sure it's
going be AI influence on

1068
02:04:01,159 --> 02:04:11,920
not because you just St yourself as a
mobile so it's on the false pretense if

1069
02:04:08,760 --> 02:04:15,040
you got the license saying you're mobile
but you actually having people bring the

1070
02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:19,040
vehicles to
you leight

1071
02:04:24,599 --> 02:04:33,639
okay next one is I'm sorry I can't
pronounce this name it's a Spanish name

1072
02:04:30,840 --> 02:04:33,639
but it's a food

1073
02:04:34,119 --> 02:04:44,599
truck I would mess it up if I tried but
it's a a food truck uh it's a Mexican

1074
02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:49,239
food and um they'll be located in the
city wherever the business gives them

1075
02:04:47,360 --> 02:04:53,639
the right to be they have to get
approval from the business for instance

1076
02:05:03,320 --> 02:05:11,079
next one is Morehouse Community Medical
Center 501 durum

1077
02:05:08,599 --> 02:05:16,440
Street uh you know they built the new
building where the old movie theater was

1078
02:05:14,239 --> 02:05:22,159
well they're opening their old
building so they'll be located in both

1079
02:05:19,159 --> 02:05:22,159
locations

1080
02:05:23,719 --> 02:05:35,760
the next item was k and t jiy ta 647
East Madison and that's just a person

1081
02:05:32,599 --> 02:05:39,280
who's going to be open just to do income
taxes during income

1082
02:05:42,239 --> 02:05:45,440
tax and

1083
02:05:45,520 --> 02:05:49,719
that's yes sir

1084
02:06:03,199 --> 02:06:10,040
particular
from committee

1085
02:06:46,079 --> 02:06:49,440
City counil

1086
02:06:53,679 --> 02:07:02,360
we need to let our people know what's
coming into the city especially thata

1087
02:06:59,360 --> 02:07:02,360
that

1088
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:30,360
I think that I made a suggestion earlier
so we won't have this problem it's going

1089
02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:35,559
be a special
perm to come of network with the counil

1090
02:07:33,199 --> 02:07:39,239
before approve it now we got a problem
because y'all already

1091
02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:43,880
approved now it's going to be hard to go
tell somebody that spent

1092
02:07:41,040 --> 02:07:48,360
money that you got to
stop you know we probably didn't if we

1093
02:07:46,599 --> 02:07:55,239
would P our people they probably told us
right off the turn down already been

1094
02:07:53,000 --> 02:08:02,199
approved I think I'm going let the
attorney on this situation but what do

1095
02:07:58,960 --> 02:08:02,199

1096
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:26,719
was
that have

1097
02:08:59,559 --> 02:09:07,719

1099
02:09:10,079 --> 02:09:16,960
it type of stuff the type of thing that
I fear was going to

1100
02:09:19,360 --> 02:09:23,360
happen have

1101
02:09:24,079 --> 02:09:29,639
of so it's 33429

1102
02:10:13,880 --> 02:10:16,760
so the and

1103
02:10:17,280 --> 02:10:21,280
zonings z

1104
02:10:35,840 --> 02:10:38,840
have

1105
02:10:51,599 --> 02:10:59,360
me that when they go to the board of
appeals it don't come to the city

1106
02:10:56,719 --> 02:11:03,960
council did you did you just say it go
to the board don't come to the city

1107
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:07,079
council so y have aard
of they

1108
02:11:15,480 --> 02:11:23,239
have because there there's two ways it
goes your board of appeals Acts

1109
02:11:24,320 --> 02:11:28,320
of off

1110
02:11:51,760 --> 02:12:02,119
it for us to make I mean motion
to

1111
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:02,119
R for counil to

1112
02:12:04,760 --> 02:12:16,360
V I guess I question before I get
that the day this

1113
02:12:11,679 --> 02:12:16,360
particular what day would this approve

1114
02:12:22,320 --> 02:12:26,239
was I think it was

1115
02:12:28,960 --> 02:12:39,639
just our meeting was the 27th January
the 27th it's normally the third Monday

1116
02:12:35,760 --> 02:12:42,719
of each month but we WEP it the 27th
because of Martin Luther

1117
02:12:43,360 --> 02:12:51,239
King so January 27 what day did
the approval

1118
02:12:51,360 --> 02:13:00,440
you for approv that you that it came
before the 27 January do you have a c

1119
02:12:57,880 --> 02:13:05,679
letter Sun saying they have been
approved I don't Mr Bradford because uh

1120
02:13:03,400 --> 02:13:09,679
the committee doesn't send that out it's
the office of the code enfor

1121
02:13:14,920 --> 02:13:21,599
off
you sor

1122
02:13:40,159 --> 02:13:51,520
I don't have I'm I answer I looked at
when I looked at it it says you got the

1123
02:13:47,079 --> 02:13:58,239
right to appeal it goes to
the city council always had the say so

1124
02:13:55,360 --> 02:14:02,360
when I was in and I read the book pretty
thoroughly andless something to change

1125
02:14:00,400 --> 02:14:08,880
because I'm I'm perplexed why would a
city council go back to an unelected

1126
02:14:05,440 --> 02:14:08,880
board for some

1127
02:14:10,079 --> 02:14:16,040
approve speaking
ziss

1128
02:14:17,840 --> 02:14:21,840
have cityil

1129
02:14:24,840 --> 02:14:32,840
that
what what I was saying I mean because I

1130
02:14:31,440 --> 02:14:36,679
in my district I don't really have a
problem but I don't want this to set a

1131
02:14:34,559 --> 02:14:42,079
precedent where a
board have final when we elected

1132
02:14:39,760 --> 02:14:44,639
officials represent our district so when
you have a

1133
02:14:44,800 --> 02:14:52,800
of because that's why they put it in
there you have the option to do it you

1134
02:14:48,079 --> 02:14:52,800
don't have to option

1135
02:14:58,880 --> 02:15:05,719
I'll be contacting you so you can work
on something because I don't think

1136
02:15:03,719 --> 02:15:13,000
nobody in the city of B would go for
unelected person dicta what comes to the

1137
02:15:09,119 --> 02:15:16,320
city of B and based on my analysis and I
worked up there with Mr MC we studied

1138
02:15:14,920 --> 02:15:21,639
this
PRD and we have been through this with

1139
02:15:24,239 --> 02:15:34,320
Mr we came up his deal so I'm glad we
having this discussion something good

1140
02:15:31,520 --> 02:15:39,320
comes out every day now going to force
us to research the law because I don't

1141
02:15:35,920 --> 02:15:45,760
think that un elected board should have
never what comes into the city of now I

1142
02:15:43,440 --> 02:15:51,599
think it's a good idea Mr just one vote
just one vote if it comes to the council

1143
02:15:48,280 --> 02:15:55,719
if voted because I want haven't did a
study like you say he did a

1144
02:15:52,920 --> 02:15:59,520
comprehensive study it's not I'm not
saying I'm part against it I'm just

1145
02:15:57,199 --> 02:16:04,119
talking about the process we don't want
to short C the process because think

1146
02:16:02,639 --> 02:16:09,320
about what you just said because if if
somebody turned down it was in Reverse

1147
02:16:07,760 --> 02:16:13,599
if you turn somebody down then they go
to the board of appeals and they turn

1148
02:16:11,920 --> 02:16:22,119
them down that's that's not
fin well the process

1149
02:16:17,559 --> 02:16:26,440
there we not this year in the past we
have denied

1150
02:16:23,559 --> 02:16:32,679
someone uh they appealed it they go to
the board of adjustments the board of

1151
02:16:28,719 --> 02:16:37,120
adjustments denied it their next set of
their their next uh appeal is to the

1152
02:16:36,040 --> 02:16:43,519
city
council so if the board of adjustments

1153
02:16:40,359 --> 02:16:51,080
denies it then the city council sees it
but if we approve something like that

1154
02:16:46,800 --> 02:16:56,280
which it states in our code book that we
to approve that according to what was

1155
02:16:53,319 --> 02:17:01,399
adopted when the
code was

1156
02:16:58,240 --> 02:17:08,719
adopted all Heavy industrial all light
industrial all research and development

1157
02:17:04,160 --> 02:17:08,719
it's in here that the

1158
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:18,679
uh the Planning and Zoning commission
has the right to approve those by

1159
02:17:15,040 --> 02:17:23,200
special permit now there are some things
in certain areas

1160
02:17:21,160 --> 02:17:28,439
uh and our book says that the city
council has to approve that however

1161
02:17:25,519 --> 02:17:33,920
these solar panels was not one of them
according to our code that's written now

1162
02:17:31,760 --> 02:17:41,240
and that's why it never went to the city
council because it was approved and ACC

1163
02:17:37,880 --> 02:17:41,240
what say there are

1164
02:17:44,800 --> 02:17:53,439
cust
that no it's not

1165
02:17:50,960 --> 02:17:58,639
been different since I have done it just
so it wouldn't be the same person that

1166
02:17:55,639 --> 02:18:03,160
denied it one time and denied at a
second I believe the delay on that is

1167
02:18:01,319 --> 02:18:08,280
generally
days the problem we here it's never you

1168
02:18:06,880 --> 02:18:12,080
really never going to run into this
problem because most of the time when

1169
02:18:10,359 --> 02:18:16,599
they approve something it's for good
cause I mean the problem you disapprove

1170
02:18:14,920 --> 02:18:20,960
something I'm just trying to get some
understanding for when it's a

1171
02:18:18,080 --> 02:18:27,639
controversy when they approve
counil really don't want it in well so

1172
02:18:25,280 --> 02:18:30,639
that where that runs to is all your
counil all

1173
02:18:39,439 --> 02:18:51,160
oftion who approve who you who you don't
there are certain things that are

1174
02:18:45,559 --> 02:18:51,160
planning own they make final decisions

1175
02:18:53,319 --> 02:18:56,319
have

1176
02:19:49,439 --> 02:19:52,439
us

1177
02:20:14,760 --> 02:20:22,600
and also allow you to put people there
who weren't elected but had more

1178
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:22,600
specialized knowled

1179
02:20:30,960 --> 02:20:38,439
is is the Sol company aware of process
including time for

1180
02:20:39,600 --> 02:20:42,600
possible

1181
02:20:43,359 --> 02:20:52,640
doubt I don't think so Mr Green because
they wouldn't have need of kn

1182
02:21:16,000 --> 02:21:22,800
I know where you're going but I'm going
to show you when we changed over

1183
02:21:21,080 --> 02:21:28,160
that's when we got to P close attention
that's what I was going to bring to the

1184
02:21:24,280 --> 02:21:33,080
counil I left my paper on but we when we
revised the code enforcement deal

1185
02:21:31,200 --> 02:21:36,680
remember I was tell you councilman
attorney Jones that we I kept asking you

1186
02:21:35,359 --> 02:21:43,000
are we just dealing with code
enforcement that's the only section of

1187
02:21:38,800 --> 02:21:46,240
the code well trust or verifi I really
believe that until I start looking for

1188
02:21:44,560 --> 02:21:50,800
something I started looking for that
boy and then I found something very very

1189
02:21:49,240 --> 02:21:56,560
curious
enfor so I got photo copies of how the

1190
02:21:53,160 --> 02:22:04,359
laws work versus when they changed them
Mr Lock a very very good point when you

1191
02:22:01,040 --> 02:22:11,240
changed it it says before that the city
council appointed the board but

1192
02:22:08,359 --> 02:22:14,200
mysteriously when you rewrote the law
this is what it states

1193
02:22:16,560 --> 02:22:23,840
now4 the
May no I got it on I got it on my phone

1194
02:22:22,319 --> 02:22:29,120
right here Ian I got the code
enforcement photo copy of my book if you

1195
02:22:26,560 --> 02:22:33,960
want the I give you the I'm not looking
for I'm looking for what's in the book

1196
02:22:31,040 --> 02:22:33,960
if you want to say what happened

1197
02:22:38,280 --> 02:22:41,280
in17

1198
02:22:44,439 --> 02:22:54,200
May you kind know what I'm talking
about there's

1199
02:22:51,040 --> 02:22:54,200
the books

1200
02:23:40,560 --> 02:23:51,359
okay this one before prior to we Chang I
got the date on this is what it say what

1201
02:23:46,800 --> 02:23:51,359
what SE it say section 162

1202
02:23:51,600 --> 02:23:59,439
and it says this in the book it says
Planning

1203
02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:05,439
Commission Planning Commission shall be
she also serve

1204
02:24:01,080 --> 02:24:09,319
zoning commission and is jump around and
it's establish it will be consist it

1205
02:24:07,000 --> 02:24:16,319
will consist of seven members and they
will be appointed by the city

1206
02:24:12,840 --> 02:24:21,240
council period well you should pull that
ordinance from 20 I'm not you I'm

1207
02:24:18,520 --> 02:24:25,279
talking about what's in the Z Mr McDuff
can you go get your Zone plan zoning

1208
02:24:23,000 --> 02:24:30,760
book The zoning book's not the law the
law is the ordinance on the

1209
02:24:27,279 --> 02:24:35,479
books I'm saying is you had to change it
because it's in the book it's it's in

1210
02:24:33,240 --> 02:24:39,600
the blue book so I'm looking at in the
Blue Book you can't tell me what I don't

1211
02:24:37,640 --> 02:24:43,479
see in the book it's in the book but
then all of a sudden we change the law

1212
02:24:41,520 --> 02:24:48,600
it says the may show me in the Code
Enforcement Act where we change

1213
02:24:45,720 --> 02:24:54,160
that I didn't write this up I didn't do
that that's I'm going to so this come

1214
02:24:52,240 --> 02:24:58,000
from this is this is the code
enforcement book hold up I'm tell but

1215
02:24:56,640 --> 02:25:02,319
this is the code
enforcement we got the Corum we just

1216
02:25:00,040 --> 02:25:06,200
having a lively debate we not I'm just
showing what I got I didn't do that I

1217
02:25:04,840 --> 02:25:09,760
didn't say you did that I say it's in
the code enforc book A book

1218
02:25:13,479 --> 02:25:21,399
line so you want to pull
04417 so you mean tell me it was a Mis

1219
02:25:18,720 --> 02:25:24,279
they miscalculate this
going about all this

1220
02:25:32,520 --> 02:25:39,920
time Z
operting

1221
02:25:37,960 --> 02:25:45,319
not never
seen Mr just that counil

1222
02:25:46,240 --> 02:25:56,160
appointed may I add somethinge
when we get like if someone passes away

1223
02:25:53,920 --> 02:26:02,439
or they decide they don't want to do it
anymore um the mayor recommends a person

1224
02:26:00,120 --> 02:26:07,840
uh for instance the last person that was
recommended was Miss Angela Glatt she

1225
02:26:05,399 --> 02:26:07,840
works

1226
02:26:08,200 --> 02:26:19,520
at Bush State Farm and she was the last
one that was recomended and what happens

1227
02:26:15,840 --> 02:26:25,399
the mayor uh recommends this person and
theity

1228
02:26:21,040 --> 02:26:25,399
voted on her for a final

1229
02:26:25,760 --> 02:26:33,760
approval the mayor recomend now when it
first started that was different but now

1230
02:26:31,439 --> 02:26:38,319
the mayor recommends the person and then
they're brought before the city council

1231
02:26:35,920 --> 02:26:41,040
and Miss gladney was the last that was
approved by the

1232
02:26:43,319 --> 02:26:51,920
counil to pull all thean but one that is
today

1233
02:27:13,960 --> 02:27:23,479
May February 12th 2004 so actually it's
11

1234
02:27:20,319 --> 02:27:29,560
how did it change from the mayor to the
city council I don't know if that's a

1235
02:27:25,200 --> 02:27:29,560
printing err it's not ating

1236
02:27:38,080 --> 02:27:44,040
erera uh I've been since 2010

1237
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:11,880
feary now there have been amendments
that have been made and we've added them

1238
02:28:07,920 --> 02:28:17,040
into our packets in a book yes
sir so it seems to me the books

1239
02:28:29,439 --> 02:28:38,720
she was on the city council the mayor
was a May back then they've been

1240
02:28:35,160 --> 02:28:44,240
operating as the council but all of a
sudden mysteriously appears the mayor

1241
02:28:41,840 --> 02:28:48,120
when I look through here I see the book
I'm looking at my photo copies then I go

1242
02:28:46,560 --> 02:28:54,279
to the computer and I see the book then
I see we made changes all of a sudden

1243
02:28:51,240 --> 02:28:58,760
it's it omitted the city council and put
the word Mayor in

1244
02:28:56,560 --> 02:29:02,319
there all I
know de

1245
02:29:05,920 --> 02:29:16,120
mersh what made you go back to 2004 and
see that it's on I mean I mean but what

1246
02:29:12,920 --> 02:29:20,359
what triggered you to go and look okay
so when you pass ordinances and they go

1247
02:29:17,720 --> 02:29:24,359
on COD
that we just said we specific I was

1248
02:29:22,319 --> 02:29:27,760
looking at the composition the board of
adjusts so I was trying to see where the

1249
02:29:26,479 --> 02:29:34,640
members were to see if you had your
board of adjustment so I went to your

1250
02:29:31,319 --> 02:29:40,319
ordinances online and like any law they
put down at the bottom the

1251
02:29:37,319 --> 02:29:40,319
instrument

1252
02:29:44,200 --> 02:29:53,960
didn't so what we need to do to put in
place so we can change we just discre or

1253
02:29:50,920 --> 02:29:59,200
why that book says that versus why the
the official recorder of the law says

1259
02:30:30,319 --> 02:30:38,920

you

1282
02:33:10,240 --> 02:33:18,600
myve right
here right I could offer something to

1283
02:33:14,960 --> 02:33:22,680
you about Sol stuff dealt with this you
need to pass a

1284
02:33:22,760 --> 02:33:32,920
solar solar we had to
this that would mandate what the requ

1285
02:33:29,920 --> 02:33:38,880
like so you're not going through theal
process that that

1286
02:33:35,920 --> 02:33:44,319
way because I've heard this before
already the problem is that we don't

1287
02:33:41,520 --> 02:33:51,720
have a zoning ordinance
onul solars and what they have to look

1288
02:33:47,279 --> 02:33:51,720
like the knows look

1289
02:34:03,560 --> 02:34:05,680
you

1290
02:34:05,960 --> 02:34:18,240
canate it to
zonings counil and de we never thought

1291
02:34:15,120 --> 02:34:23,520
not in my day time anybody would approve
a Sol

1292
02:34:20,760 --> 02:34:29,319
they must don't know anything about Z
need to be educated as well okay and the

1293
02:34:26,319 --> 02:34:33,240
compan taking advantage of
this I guess guess

1294
02:34:33,800 --> 02:34:37,080
question guess

1295
02:34:43,720 --> 02:34:48,359
question you got find out

1296
02:34:51,800 --> 02:34:59,200
possible yeah I can get on it as soon as
we get soon as we get out of here and

1297
02:34:56,720 --> 02:35:03,720
clearly doing it through here right now
to try and figure out the delays go from

1298
02:35:01,600 --> 02:35:10,920
the day after decision and also in the
me we upd to reflect what the book for C

1299
02:35:08,960 --> 02:35:14,359
counsel yeah we'll get together and see
what the I've never seen a blue book I

1300
02:35:13,240 --> 02:35:20,960
didn't know they going around with the
blue book book I I look I look at the

1301
02:35:17,080 --> 02:35:26,600
actual book which is one
off

1302
02:35:22,479 --> 02:35:31,120
not by having City counc us our input
going forward yeah we can move with that

1303
02:35:28,600 --> 02:35:35,080
we can move with solar F to look atan
toate like that so we can have

1304
02:35:35,600 --> 02:35:45,960
unifor you just something you go by book
not something I got this out of the code

1305
02:35:43,600 --> 02:35:51,760
enforement this ain't I didn't find this
on the internet anywhere remember I was

1306
02:35:47,880 --> 02:35:58,160
in told come from the book that's right
down there and the book that's encoded

1307
02:35:53,880 --> 02:36:03,120
for so our to resolve a problem so it's
not like that we arguing or fussing a

1308
02:36:01,000 --> 02:36:07,200
mute point the code enforcement officer
sitting right there it's pretty simple

1309
02:36:05,359 --> 02:36:11,479
walk you get the book flip it over and
you will see it that book's not your

1310
02:36:09,319 --> 02:36:14,920
official reg well you just said you go
bu a

1311
02:36:12,240 --> 02:36:19,680
book it's not your official but but you
just said I'm going to go by the book

1312
02:36:17,080 --> 02:36:23,080
The Blue Book I'm going by the Blue Book
correct said you just said you going by

1313
02:36:21,120 --> 02:36:29,200
the Blue Book I'm going by the book I'm
not going by the book I go by your

1314
02:36:24,880 --> 02:36:29,200
official log of yourin kept by your

1315
02:36:34,720 --> 02:36:41,600
clerk Mr bu operating the same book
that's correct so it's like it's like

1316
02:36:39,920 --> 02:36:44,880
saying that you had two copies of the
same thing but one of them obviously

1317
02:36:43,319 --> 02:36:51,520
there's something in between so you go
to the official Journal of ordinances

1318
02:36:48,240 --> 02:36:51,520
which is where I'm

1319
02:36:56,240 --> 02:37:02,120
that you make things you want to make
sure that when you make copies or

1320
02:37:00,080 --> 02:37:05,359
excerpts of laws that you actually cop
them correct type them in

1321
02:37:15,439 --> 02:37:23,120
there as well that's why you had to
check the Blue Book

1322
02:37:21,479 --> 02:37:30,200
okay I'm
brainstorm you you got me on

1323
02:37:26,800 --> 02:37:34,520
something you ear about changing the
code you said you Happ to look when you

1324
02:37:32,399 --> 02:37:39,319
was looking for another Zone another
board that what draw you to it because

1325
02:37:37,200 --> 02:37:43,560
you can go to the line online I used to
look at it when I was in Houston go

1326
02:37:41,240 --> 02:37:49,760
online and it never
said it never said the mar I'm talking

1327
02:37:46,760 --> 02:37:54,960
about it never ever said the mar you can
anybody got to go online go back type in

1328
02:37:52,040 --> 02:38:02,080
five years from now I me back five years
you going to see it's going consistently

1329
02:37:57,600 --> 02:38:07,560
say the board the city council but now
when I when you go online and you see it

1330
02:38:05,279 --> 02:38:11,920
so it had to change what I'm saying now
it's saying the mayor you go put it up

1331
02:38:10,279 --> 02:38:15,560
online now it's going to say the mayor
but if you go back and look five years

1332
02:38:13,840 --> 02:38:21,439
ago it's going to say the counsel so
somebody changed something changed what

1333
02:38:18,279 --> 02:38:21,439
you do

1334
02:38:27,960 --> 02:38:35,080
200 online
onlys well I'm ask you a question when

1335
02:38:32,840 --> 02:38:40,000
you found out it discrepancy did the C
was code enforcement notice he one he

1336
02:38:38,279 --> 02:38:43,680
the one provide code enforcement so if
it's a

1337
02:38:41,120 --> 02:38:48,439
error uh why would we still be operating
on a blue book that's really available

1338
02:38:46,200 --> 02:38:51,439
that he goes by not me he goes by that
Blue Book

1339
02:39:06,439 --> 02:39:10,800
to reflect changes

1340
02:39:32,439 --> 02:39:39,399
what's the so what's the process of
changing the the charter You' have to

1341
02:39:36,600 --> 02:39:43,160
you would have to make a petition to the
governor you would have to then notify

1342
02:39:41,560 --> 02:39:49,560
the Attorney General to say that it's
not in it's not

1343
02:39:45,800 --> 02:39:53,880
inconsistent it's not inconsistent
ision of the Louisiana constition or

1344
02:39:51,760 --> 02:39:57,960
general laws or the Federal Constitution
they issue a declaration to the governor

1345
02:39:56,319 --> 02:40:03,040
stating they've reviewed it and it's not
that way the governor then issues a

1346
02:40:00,359 --> 02:40:10,000
proclamation to the city of bastard that
if anybody is going to object I think it

1347
02:40:06,800 --> 02:40:10,000
is percent

1348
02:40:11,800 --> 02:40:21,040
i% object then by to the petition then
you have to go to an election

1349
02:40:18,319 --> 02:40:25,600
well Charter that was not officially in
the charter this was Amendment so we can

1350
02:40:23,200 --> 02:40:30,640
change the amend this was put zoning
when when they made zoning so so that's

1351
02:40:28,680 --> 02:40:34,479
that's that was a point what I'm saying
is you don't have to go through all that

1352
02:40:32,160 --> 02:40:38,600
change in the chart you just change the
you just change the artist because it

1353
02:40:36,479 --> 02:40:43,040
was it was implemented so we can change
the artist to go back to where we

1354
02:40:40,840 --> 02:40:47,720
thought it was originally so we need to
draw ordinance to change it back to what

1355
02:40:45,560 --> 02:40:51,840
we thought it was which was the counil
that's the simp thing we need to go

1356
02:40:50,120 --> 02:40:55,600
search down the4 ordinance and see if
it's reflected properly what it says and

1357
02:40:54,120 --> 02:40:59,000
once we pull that we'll have an answer
and then we can say is the blue

1358
02:40:59,640 --> 02:41:02,920
reflec reason

1359
02:41:06,520 --> 02:41:12,960
i000 things have happened where they
didn't come before us and nothing took

1360
02:41:10,880 --> 02:41:16,760
place so I was trying to see what we
need to do to make it more concrete so

1361
02:41:15,319 --> 02:41:21,359
to make it more concrete if you want to
change your Charter to uh not just not

1362
02:41:20,120 --> 02:41:26,600
just this particular thing I was just
asking the process of

1363
02:41:23,080 --> 02:41:31,960
oh because because apparently we did an
ordinance

1364
02:41:27,680 --> 02:41:39,479
for over $5,000 several times and and I
asked you can be done said can be done

1365
02:41:35,120 --> 02:41:46,120
so say I was just to know would it to
change so you have to issue

1366
02:41:43,359 --> 02:41:51,880
told yeah so and you can
do you can do something about that that

1367
02:41:49,600 --> 02:41:58,479
somebody has created office and then it
goes to the attorney general I can't see

1368
02:41:54,080 --> 02:41:58,479
the mayor I'm the City attorney

1369
02:42:20,399 --> 02:42:24,080
over stud

1370
02:42:24,160 --> 02:42:27,600
number office

1371
02:42:30,279 --> 02:42:39,120
administ started and the first
board started in

1372
02:42:40,040 --> 02:42:45,640
2009
attorney resarch

1373
02:42:49,359 --> 02:42:56,960
did the book like in
2016 I mean when I was in C enforcement

1374
02:42:55,120 --> 02:43:02,399
I was talking to M we was researching
something and she says that it was

1375
02:43:00,560 --> 02:43:05,399
updated in
2016

1376
02:43:06,279 --> 02:43:14,240
because I think that was when we added
an amendment I don't remember what the

1377
02:43:11,560 --> 02:43:21,279
amendment was but there was an amendment
to it and it was um we were given that

1378
02:43:17,960 --> 02:43:27,640
and we added into our book and took out
the page that had to do that what book

1379
02:43:25,319 --> 02:43:33,120
do you get your stuff out of the
book well I don't remember what color

was and I but you do get it out of the

1383
02:43:45,800 --> 02:43:55,240

going to run all year
$55,000 that going be

1489
03:08:20,600 --> 03:08:28,760
okay for the for the legal the way it
was structured was is that the person

1490
03:08:26,080 --> 03:08:34,680
the the
owner person of the home would contract

1491
03:08:32,319 --> 03:08:39,520
with the person to do it and we
reimburse up to the amount that he had

1492
03:08:37,080 --> 03:08:44,239
so which was 4,500
bucks that's what we came together with

1493
03:08:41,920 --> 03:08:48,080
was that and they would present it to us
that after it was done and as long as

1494
03:08:46,120 --> 03:08:53,040
the ProCuts were to meeting with the
ordinances in the state law so that it's

1495
03:08:50,359 --> 03:08:57,160
in compliance now then we would pay we
would pay we would reimburse the so

1496
03:08:55,000 --> 03:08:57,160
other

1497
03:08:57,279 --> 03:09:09,359
words out of that's coming out
of Contra have so it was they have to

1498
03:09:06,319 --> 03:09:14,319
present us with it it has to be returned
to the the property then is returned to

1499
03:09:12,920 --> 03:09:18,319
where it would meet and comply with the
ordinances of Bor and the state laws if

1500
03:09:16,399 --> 03:09:21,960
there's any appliable St
and at that point they present us with

1501
03:09:19,960 --> 03:09:27,239
the invoice services for reimbursement
up

1502
03:09:24,239 --> 03:09:27,239
45

1503
03:09:31,520 --> 03:09:42,239
you it it goes back to the owner's
property so how do we get the

1504
03:09:38,560 --> 03:09:48,439
$4500 back we don't
don't you giv away not giving away that

1505
03:09:45,439 --> 03:09:53,359

I know what's going to happen tomorrow

1506
03:09:50,439 --> 03:09:57,840
mind Happ tomorrow yeah so so here's
here's what the the kind of the benefit

1507
03:09:56,000 --> 03:10:01,080
detriment of the Cooperative Endeavor
agreement was the benefit was is that we

1508
03:09:59,840 --> 03:10:03,800
don't have to go through the hearing we
don't have to have an engineer report we

1509
03:10:02,479 --> 03:10:09,439
don't have to produce all these cost and
we don't have to worry about finding the

1510
03:10:05,640 --> 03:10:14,239
contractor the detriment is is that we
also don't get to recoup our cost but we

1511
03:10:12,640 --> 03:10:20,399
don't have all the administrative cost
either but but you but you clean some

1512
03:10:18,120 --> 03:10:25,160
correct you can do it through a CA she
said you can do that as long as you pass

1513
03:10:22,359 --> 03:10:25,160
through a CA

1514
03:10:25,920 --> 03:10:34,960

I okay the the I'm going be real short u

1545
03:14:21,840 --> 03:14:29,439
the rescue money that will allgate to
each district yeah to spend as their

1546
03:14:27,680 --> 03:14:34,080
their leure long as they did something
within the community and all say

1547
03:14:31,279 --> 03:14:39,399
nonprofit and also said
private now this is a private piece of

1548
03:14:36,640 --> 03:14:45,239
lot that have been judic by the Mohawk
Parish police year the moha par polier

1549
03:14:43,359 --> 03:14:50,359
had issued a letter saying they have no
objection to us in this

1550
03:14:48,040 --> 03:14:53,279
property the owner of the property say
she have no objection they don't have

1551
03:14:51,880 --> 03:14:56,279
the money that's why we got some much
bright you got to understand half of

1552
03:14:55,000 --> 03:15:00,760
this stuff is standing around this
community because the people do not have

1553
03:14:57,960 --> 03:15:06,359
the money and we have the obligation to
protect the other neighbors in the

1554
03:15:02,960 --> 03:15:11,960
community okay now now with that said
that 50

1555
03:15:08,720 --> 03:15:18,000
$50,000 we have the Le use as we choose
it east east C and I have a spoke with a

1556
03:15:15,800 --> 03:15:22,000
private contractor that would do it
under

1557
03:15:19,840 --> 03:15:26,439
$5,000 and and with that said it
wouldn't have to be

1558
03:15:23,680 --> 03:15:30,840
bided or I didn't think it had come for
the counsil how each district get to

1559
03:15:28,359 --> 03:15:34,279
spend their money I didn't think so but
but I mean you know now now back before

1560
03:15:32,520 --> 03:15:40,000
the counsil we might not never get it
spent we might not never get it I have I

1561
03:15:37,120 --> 03:15:40,000
have a question

1562
03:15:44,080 --> 03:15:53,720
so is this proper
or still owned by that said individual

1563
03:15:50,439 --> 03:15:58,439
adjudicated by the parish owned
by a family individual and then I have

1564
03:15:56,560 --> 03:16:04,080
spoke with them and they said sure they
have no objection to us cleaning this

1565
03:16:00,120 --> 03:16:10,359
proper and they going to sign all in but
just like the uh what they call here

1566
03:16:08,760 --> 03:16:13,960
Beauty so in other words the same thing
they doing so in other words how about

1567
03:16:11,720 --> 03:16:19,319

brainstorming so so if you have an

1568
03:16:16,080 --> 03:16:25,760
individual they have a piece of property
they haven't been adjudicated but it's

1569
03:16:22,160 --> 03:16:32,359

1570
03:16:28,880 --> 03:16:37,920
our chter it say that we can tear down
or remove anything that's a danger and a

1571
03:16:34,760 --> 03:16:42,080
hassard in the community it don't say
the at the owners it say The city can

1572
03:16:40,279 --> 03:16:47,880
take that action and we should be able
to do if we don't do it you got to

1573
03:16:44,840 --> 03:16:54,120
realize these people that own
property two3 of them can't afford to

1574
03:16:50,319 --> 03:16:59,640
clean the LA house grandma grandma dead
Uncle Bob in California B Jean in Texas

1575
03:16:57,399 --> 03:17:04,319
somebody in Detroit and all this mess is
still here I mean I like I mean I mean

1576
03:17:02,199 --> 03:17:04,319
you

1577
03:17:05,040 --> 03:17:13,359
know we as a city responsibility have
been all just for the clean up right and

1578
03:17:10,800 --> 03:17:18,120
do certain particular things in our
particular district and we have the

1579
03:17:15,279 --> 03:17:24,319
money money been alligated we paid we
paid the employe we PID everybody now

1580
03:17:21,720 --> 03:17:29,000
the $50,000 that was allocated to each
district those counsel should be getting

1581
03:17:26,840 --> 03:17:35,800
busy in their District seeing what it
take to clean it up and I'm not sitting

1582
03:17:32,479 --> 03:17:41,800
back waiting to make a uh you know
that's what we asked I asked M uh Mrs uh

1583
03:17:39,600 --> 03:17:46,359
Mrs Hardy the same thing and we spoke
about nonprofit organization I also have

1584
03:17:44,640 --> 03:17:52,800
endeavored him for a nonprofit
organization we getting ready to give

1585
03:17:48,439 --> 03:17:52,800
$10,000 to we not getting that

1586
03:17:53,120 --> 03:18:00,560
back BR you
minut I'm not disagreeing what I'm

1587
03:17:58,000 --> 03:18:06,640
saying because when when we was awarded
the $65,000 I was trying to come way to

1588
03:18:03,160 --> 03:18:12,439
to do it with within the city but your
way prevent all that you can just get

1589
03:18:08,399 --> 03:18:12,439
some okay private contract

1590
03:18:13,560 --> 03:18:23,960
and you go saying thisal so the way you
make it legal iser what okay with the

1591
03:18:21,600 --> 03:18:26,479
c correct you have to articulate the
benefits you're getting the benefit

1592
03:18:25,239 --> 03:18:30,840
they're getting you're cleaning up light
but yes you are giving up the right to

1593
03:18:27,840 --> 03:18:34,800
get a lean so Mr you say one word we
about to get busy okay

1594
03:18:33,239 --> 03:18:41,000
okay
only property just

1595
03:18:37,920 --> 03:18:45,960
anyer it's any property that would meet
the status for

1596
03:18:42,479 --> 03:18:52,239
being a dangerous or or dilapidated
structure which is a a a very

1597
03:18:49,920 --> 03:18:57,880
specialized word that has legal meaning
behind it it has to be one that when we

1598
03:18:54,520 --> 03:19:02,600
do those when we condemn
things we have an engineer who looks at

1599
03:19:00,239 --> 03:19:06,520
it who says yes issues report yes this
is it meets the state definition for

1600
03:19:04,680 --> 03:19:14,279
dangers into life dat like we had with
the L building e side building

1601
03:19:09,399 --> 03:19:14,279
so if I get a a contract is just it

1602
03:19:14,960 --> 03:19:21,680
down I got
but but you have to meet that definition

1603
03:19:19,520 --> 03:19:25,120
but what what we're giving up in return
for them allowing us to consensually do

1604
03:19:23,319 --> 03:19:30,479
it without having to go through that
processes and all that that that

1605
03:19:27,319 --> 03:19:36,720
unnecessary red tape is he's giving he
elected to give up the the tax the being

1606
03:19:35,160 --> 03:19:39,920
able to place the bill on the tax he
said look we're not going to hit their

1607
03:19:38,000 --> 03:19:43,160
taxes because they we went to them they
consented to it they're going to do this

1608
03:19:41,560 --> 03:19:47,239
without all the house on the red well I
got I got a question well can we do this

1609
03:19:45,479 --> 03:19:50,960
I understand what you're saying
but we don't want to get into a place

1610
03:19:49,040 --> 03:19:56,479
where we clean somebody's property of
and then they turn around and sell it so

1611
03:19:53,840 --> 03:20:00,399
long as you maintain that property I
don't care I kind of go along with what

1612
03:19:58,960 --> 03:20:03,479
you saying but you don't want to get in
the business of going cleaning

1613
03:20:01,560 --> 03:20:09,520
somebody's property up making it look
good and then they turn around sell it

1614
03:20:04,880 --> 03:20:14,680
for a profit so if we spend 45 4500 on
it just say 4500 can you stipulate in

1615
03:20:12,239 --> 03:20:19,479
that Z whatever it is that if you sell
the property that the city is going to

1616
03:20:17,319 --> 03:20:23,680
be required you to give the money back
that they invested in cleaning the

1617
03:20:20,840 --> 03:20:26,520
property all right CA is a contract our
vision in

1618
03:20:24,920 --> 03:20:33,120
there
put you put in Language by us cing up

1619
03:20:30,920 --> 03:20:38,199
you give it to us but we'll do away with
the the um the taxes that's on because

1620
03:20:35,840 --> 03:20:43,479
pretty much everybody adjudicated old
taxes on it so we clean up the property

1621
03:20:40,680 --> 03:20:49,319
you belong to the city but therefore we
don't need your the taxes that you owe

1622
03:20:45,520 --> 03:20:54,880
on is that can they turn ownership of
that property back to the city well you

1623
03:20:51,520 --> 03:20:58,080
can you can do that yes is the answer
and the way the way you do that is is

1624
03:20:56,560 --> 03:21:03,399
you just file that ordinance in the
thing and they would have to consent

1625
03:21:00,120 --> 03:21:03,399
that they're not going to object or

1626
03:21:10,840 --> 03:21:18,920
redeem and understanding clear for for
the other Council to have clear Clarity

1627
03:21:15,439 --> 03:21:23,760
on this that this particular
property do uh have adjudicated proper

1628
03:21:22,120 --> 03:21:28,000
adjudicated property this particular
adjudicated property is no more than a

1629
03:21:26,319 --> 03:21:31,560
house or a liot you mentioned somebody
engineer believe me I don't have to be

1630
03:21:30,000 --> 03:21:35,600
engineer know that elab because it's
sitting on the ground already that

1631
03:21:33,120 --> 03:21:40,479
particular okay but what I'm trying to
say is I agree okay okay what I'm trying

1632
03:21:37,880 --> 03:21:46,600
to say is that
we do not want to get into if

1633
03:21:43,239 --> 03:21:50,680
adjudicated it don't uh to the police
Maj of the city they already have a lean

1634
03:21:49,080 --> 03:21:56,479
on the prop would I could be correct
that is correct it's unpa because the

1635
03:21:52,960 --> 03:21:56,479
tax going go through a

1636
03:21:56,560 --> 03:22:02,800
tax what I'm saying
is if you go clean up some belongs to

1637
03:22:01,080 --> 03:22:07,080
the police jury that's their
jurisdiction and if they turn around

1638
03:22:04,920 --> 03:22:13,000
just like who who sell business for us
that that lady do she do she sell

1639
03:22:09,640 --> 03:22:17,160
property for them also EMP does they
they s proper what we don't want to get

1640
03:22:14,600 --> 03:22:22,080
into is go clean it up then they go make
a profit off of them no they won't be

1641
03:22:19,880 --> 03:22:27,199
they that go
to you speaking about they have they

1642
03:22:25,520 --> 03:22:31,239
have that's a
$1,000 process to start and these

1643
03:22:29,680 --> 03:22:34,680
particular loots and property we're
talking about if you clean up and do

1644
03:22:33,000 --> 03:22:39,279
that thing you still can get I think the
easy way to do it is when you draw the

1645
03:22:37,239 --> 03:22:43,080
the contract you put in there if you
sell it we we need to redeem our money

1646
03:22:41,960 --> 03:22:47,359
back we not going to clean nothing
enough for you to make a profit off us

1647
03:22:45,000 --> 03:22:50,800
as long as you keep it in a thing and
it's your property and you paying the

1648
03:22:48,800 --> 03:22:54,560
taxes on it whatever but we can't go
clean up something and let you make a

1649
03:22:52,080 --> 03:23:00,399
profit off everybody be up here clean my
y'all would y'all please come clean my

1650
03:22:57,080 --> 03:23:06,199
properer clean my
property everybody taxes on adjudicated

1651
03:23:04,399 --> 03:23:10,640
property they old taxes on so that's why
if you come in and say hey we going to

1652
03:23:08,000 --> 03:23:16,800
clean this up let us have it but the the
taxes that you ow on we do away with you

1653
03:23:13,520 --> 03:23:16,800
that's adud

1654
03:23:18,560 --> 03:23:24,120
then that then y'all will have to come
up with some kind of contract provision

1655
03:23:22,640 --> 03:23:28,120
where if they sell it or they do
something then you can recoup it at the

1656
03:23:32,040 --> 03:23:39,680
next I can check real quick and tell you
I believe yes it is adjudicated no it's

1657
03:23:37,680 --> 03:23:44,279
not adjudicated it's the taxes were
bought by somebody somebody else has the

1658
03:23:41,600 --> 03:23:48,359
taxes so that the taxes to adjudicate
nobody buys a tax sell and that gives

1659
03:23:46,160 --> 03:23:52,160
you the right to go in claim ownership
if you want you have to exercise it but

1660
03:23:50,000 --> 03:23:56,560
you have a right to so it's not
adjudicated it's just the tax been

1661
03:23:54,000 --> 03:24:02,120
purchased by that individual down there
and what it is is here is it's it's the

1662
03:24:00,160 --> 03:24:06,239
it's discretion of how far you can go in
a contract it's not everything's legal

1663
03:24:04,600 --> 03:24:10,439
there it's just what Provisions do you
all want can you find me the contact

1664
03:24:08,359 --> 03:24:16,479
person yeah I actually have this phone
number we I can talk I guess I guess

1665
03:24:14,439 --> 03:24:20,319
what I was saying about the about
property to the parish it's different

1666
03:24:18,359 --> 03:24:24,479
between the city cuz we go clean that
property up you can't tell them what the

1667
03:24:21,880 --> 03:24:29,239
charge if they go sell it for the the
property taxes if they go if you go

1668
03:24:26,760 --> 03:24:34,680
spend 4,500 and they go sell it for
1,200 that's your loss you cannot tell

1669
03:24:32,040 --> 03:24:38,319
another another mun another jurisdiction
what what they will and can charge

1670
03:24:37,080 --> 03:24:41,239
that's the only thing I'm getting at you
go clean it up they going to sell it for

1671
03:24:40,080 --> 03:24:44,439
whatever they want to sell it for they
don't care you just clean it up to make

1672
03:24:42,760 --> 03:24:49,000
it look good I understand that to a
degree but what I'm trying to say

1673
03:24:47,080 --> 03:24:52,720
I don't think the police jury even
though they have a adjudicated lean on

1674
03:24:50,760 --> 03:24:59,479
it I'm I'm looking at this particular
piece of proper I'm speaking of okay

1675
03:24:54,920 --> 03:25:02,920
have have have a judic adjudicated and
the owners are not going to never it up

1676
03:25:01,439 --> 03:25:09,640
they not going to pay
judication okay and order for them to

1677
03:25:07,279 --> 03:25:16,800
sell or transfer this property any other
name or do they have to pay the judicat

1678
03:25:12,239 --> 03:25:24,000
police their taxes now if we want to out
that if if they pay the taxes the tax is

1679
03:25:21,239 --> 03:25:27,720
not going even be worth the tax is not
even worth for what would you what did

1680
03:25:26,000 --> 03:25:31,920
you to get it from that's what I'm
getting at they going to sell it for you

1681
03:25:29,840 --> 03:25:36,399
going to go spend 4500 clean up and they
going to sell it for $1,000 yeah see but

1682
03:25:34,279 --> 03:25:40,720
we get we get we what do we get out of
as a city we get a

1683
03:25:38,000 --> 03:25:45,640
duplication what we need that's only I
mean section six of section six of our

1684
03:25:43,439 --> 03:25:51,399
ERS tell us that we have the right to
take any so anything condemn danger to

1685
03:25:47,960 --> 03:25:56,520
the community and that fall back on us
and I mean we have the money see we

1686
03:25:54,279 --> 03:26:00,600
can't turn this into a a revenue
collection we can buy property clean up

1687
03:25:58,960 --> 03:26:06,800
and then turn around get revenue and get
tax I don't think we need to we need to

1688
03:26:03,880 --> 03:26:10,479

doson park Grant though now if I'm wrong

1754
03:33:08,239 --> 03:33:16,600
somebody correct me hold up I'm I'm just
I'm just here I'm just trying to get

1755
03:33:13,439 --> 03:33:21,120
clarity so we have a D part
it's

1756
03:33:18,120 --> 03:33:21,120
called

1757
03:33:26,120 --> 03:33:36,880
location I have I in my I'm saying order
to be you have to you have to State

1758
03:33:34,600 --> 03:33:41,720
something pertaining to D par order you
want me to put

1759
03:33:39,399 --> 03:33:46,120
in I'm trying to understand I'm trying
I'm trying to get why became a D part Dr

1760
03:33:44,000 --> 03:33:52,399
so it had to be something in place when
you going to apply for the grant to be

1761
03:33:48,800 --> 03:33:56,000
consist of some deal with d Park and
will so that's that's what we asking

1762
03:33:53,880 --> 03:34:02,239
like so have with this R have anything
been utilized for do the last part will

1763
03:33:59,279 --> 03:34:08,040
culminate the do part so how much is the
last part of it's what's left after this

1764
03:34:05,239 --> 03:34:12,560
and this because we have Community
engagement we're going to invite

1765
03:34:09,439 --> 03:34:17,720
nonprofit agencies that offer services
for children any nonprofit

1766
03:34:17,920 --> 03:34:24,920
the reason why I because I think I had
spoke with and part of

1767
03:34:22,080 --> 03:34:31,160
M I spoke about
4 that we that we have is person

1768
03:34:28,520 --> 03:34:37,800
equipment for like the basketballs or
like gripping Flor but we have a grant

1769
03:34:34,800 --> 03:34:37,800
that's

1770
03:34:45,800 --> 03:34:52,199
do have to utilize what's available how
we going to get the children there who's

1771
03:34:49,279 --> 03:34:56,800
going and that this is a facility that
we are doing The Cooperative I think I

1772
03:34:54,560 --> 03:35:01,319
think what you're doing you know great
idea but we talking about dos and I was

1773
03:34:59,600 --> 03:35:06,800
just out there yesterday I still go out
there basketball but but I mean we can't

1774
03:35:05,000 --> 03:35:11,520
the kids can't dribble on on the
basketball floor properly without being

1775
03:35:09,000 --> 03:35:16,040
so CU slippery Jake you been out there
right it need to be it need to be it

1776
03:35:13,680 --> 03:35:20,319
need to I don't know who the but I don't
think they did a great job because now

1777
03:35:18,319 --> 03:35:25,199
the kids go out there right now the kids
SL

1778
03:35:22,000 --> 03:35:28,960
ice but so so now we have a grant cuz
I'm using some my money to purchase

1779
03:35:26,680 --> 03:35:32,000
basketball Mr Lock do some other things
but we have a grant that's there for Dr

1780
03:35:30,359 --> 03:35:38,880
par that's not getting used for Dr
that's crazy no the children meeting the

1781
03:35:35,960 --> 03:35:38,880
children where they

1782
03:35:39,680 --> 03:35:50,600
are but we don't have the same resources
that Mr Rand William going to over there

1783
03:35:47,880 --> 03:35:55,279
so we are
we to

1784
03:35:52,760 --> 03:35:59,840
execute that's that's a
great cuz I I don't I guess I don't want

1785
03:35:57,720 --> 03:36:06,640
you to to make it seem like we we don't
want y but it's just like I being out

1786
03:36:03,760 --> 03:36:12,560
there on the regular it's just
like it's it's a greater need it's it's

1787
03:36:09,160 --> 03:36:18,359
a def a need for enhancement inside do
Park especially

1788
03:36:15,760 --> 03:36:24,040
get the other half of the money then we
can but we got to spend the first half

1789
03:36:21,040 --> 03:36:30,080
before it goes away and we were delayed
because the budget was adopted in

1790
03:36:27,160 --> 03:36:34,520
October I got a question the first half
of the original plan

1791
03:36:34,840 --> 03:36:46,439
toze 5,000 went to sa
promoting went to truck I got to break I

1792
03:36:42,920 --> 03:36:50,520
got to break down
5,000 so what what I'm getting at is I

1793
03:36:49,040 --> 03:36:55,720
guess what I'm saying when we had the or
fund correct me if I'm wrong attorney

1794
03:36:53,000 --> 03:36:59,120
Jones you supposed to spent the arbor
funds in the manner in which it was

1795
03:36:57,880 --> 03:37:02,319
given to you right you got
specifications that you have to spend it

1796
03:37:01,000 --> 03:37:08,680
yeah there's regulations around around
America R funds okay so if they give you

1797
03:37:05,840 --> 03:37:13,359
a fund for doson Park and you not using
in the manner in which the grant was

1798
03:37:10,840 --> 03:37:21,600
that you applied for the grant
for that's kind of miss

1799
03:37:17,279 --> 03:37:27,640
sir that's a very word to it might but
it's defin definitely on the line no no

1800
03:37:24,840 --> 03:37:32,560
sir it's not because I talked to
representative

1801
03:37:29,199 --> 03:37:35,600
fish to do I said so what do the
language of the gr states do the

1802
03:37:34,160 --> 03:37:41,199
language of the great states that you
have to do something in pertaining to Dr

1803
03:37:37,640 --> 03:37:46,600
Park we get the other half we will some
of this is a is a result of the delayed

1804
03:37:43,920 --> 03:37:53,000
budget being adop it can't be because
you already UTI

1805
03:37:49,720 --> 03:37:53,000
5000 no

1806
03:37:53,279 --> 03:38:03,359
can't the grant was 25,000 we got half
of it we got half we can't get the other

1807
03:38:00,520 --> 03:38:11,160
half until we spend the first half and I
got notification that if it's still

1808
03:38:06,560 --> 03:38:11,160
available so why we use the first to

1809
03:38:11,520 --> 03:38:19,319
actually there were there were some
stipulations to more

1810
03:38:16,680 --> 03:38:24,000
children so we can use the second in
fact I've already spoken to about

1811
03:38:22,359 --> 03:38:29,560
lighting
yeah

1812
03:38:26,560 --> 03:38:39,080
think CH
basketball down the court still so like

1813
03:38:33,000 --> 03:38:39,080
the first can't talk about

1814
03:38:54,760 --> 03:39:02,920
administrator and said this is what we
are going to do and she said it's

1815
03:38:59,680 --> 03:39:02,920
fine this is

1816
03:39:03,199 --> 03:39:10,880
serving I get what you saying but can
you can you tell me to let I hate to say

1817
03:39:08,640 --> 03:39:14,880
that but how often do you go to do
because if you if you if like by me

1818
03:39:12,840 --> 03:39:18,880
saying that someone like myself that go
out

1819
03:39:16,239 --> 03:39:25,279
and play with your kids train the
kids shoot basketball on the court

1820
03:39:21,920 --> 03:39:30,439
there's a need in fixing that D part
Court you still have dead spots in their

1821
03:39:26,920 --> 03:39:34,760
court so I'm I'm what I'm saying is I
love the idea to get something to arange

1822
03:39:32,920 --> 03:39:40,279
but the fact that we haven't did nothing
for D par it's just cuz you know I'm

1823
03:39:39,080 --> 03:39:44,680
don't matter what pair of shoes you put
on them kids can't shoot basketball

1824
03:39:42,199 --> 03:39:48,359
proper the basketball matter of fact the
basketball are using I think they may

1825
03:39:46,760 --> 03:39:54,800
have two or three new basketball but
everything else problema I are you

1826
03:39:50,479 --> 03:39:54,800
asking to change FL

1827
03:39:55,800 --> 03:40:04,720
no but it's floor you can put it on the
floor it's it's a lot of things and you

1828
03:40:02,199 --> 03:40:08,720
have a great person out the he can all
know everything they give everything

1829
03:40:06,880 --> 03:40:13,279
about the
courtly we're trying to spend the first

1830
03:40:11,479 --> 03:40:18,199
and put it for the children where it
have a direct impact I can't get the

1831
03:40:15,920 --> 03:40:23,120
second half to take under consideration
so what type of money are we talking

1832
03:40:21,239 --> 03:40:29,920
about for this
$5,000 that will go to after school

1833
03:40:26,439 --> 03:40:34,720
tutoring for 4 to 12 years of age any
student in need of T projected number of

1834
03:40:32,960 --> 03:40:42,000
students to be sered which is the number
that I how much

1835
03:40:37,479 --> 03:40:48,960
have oh okay after we give the 5,000
here we will have 2,000

1836
03:40:45,800 --> 03:40:55,000
uh because we spent 5,000 on the safety
and spitting

1837
03:40:52,000 --> 03:40:55,000
U

1838
03:41:08,399 --> 03:41:18,239
Mr it any of
it do don't put them to the

1839
03:41:14,239 --> 03:41:18,239
G stand back what I

1840
03:41:27,600 --> 03:41:40,040
did to 25,000 half of that
12,500 the other half is

1841
03:41:34,760 --> 03:41:49,159
12,500 the other go strictly to D it
can

1842
03:41:42,960 --> 03:41:49,159
yes make this is going to go

1843
03:42:02,040 --> 03:42:10,239
towards we don't have the we don't have
the tutors to put out there well that's

1844
03:42:07,920 --> 03:42:16,920
what the money is for but the children
are going to benefit the kids of that

1845
03:42:13,600 --> 03:42:21,920
disadvantage for out of town for certain
group of people dson Park Pacific dson

1846
03:42:19,239 --> 03:42:29,840
Park he should stay in dson park okay we
should start moving around to P

1847
03:42:24,920 --> 03:42:34,960
State freshman B like for stay to do
Park you should stay with pafic state

1848
03:42:32,439 --> 03:42:41,600
was granted for water we start that we
can go you you can go to farest Park you

1849
03:42:37,640 --> 03:42:49,399
can go to uh the little park down street
for me I don't know the name of it but

1850
03:42:44,120 --> 03:42:54,359
parks for pafic use and that's da par so
so let me ask you a question so with

1851
03:42:51,000 --> 03:42:59,439
that with that dson par so like like the
water P inside par can this be used to

1852
03:42:57,920 --> 03:43:03,040
purchase with this
funding because there need

1853
03:43:04,479 --> 03:43:12,600
for you just
for also the water pressure if I'm not

1854
03:43:10,520 --> 03:43:19,880
mistaken the water pressure Dr part it's
been it's been we probably a cple not

1855
03:43:16,199 --> 03:43:19,880
without being a to go in

1856
03:43:24,080 --> 03:43:29,479
they I'm just I'm just giving you ideas
I go out

1857
03:43:31,600 --> 03:43:41,439
there well we have I something yes sir
go ahead I believe when money is all for

1858
03:43:38,600 --> 03:43:45,399
Pacific you should be to that but
thinking of Rob I don't want to take

1859
03:43:43,159 --> 03:43:50,640
anything because
ARP money whatever it is we're

1860
03:43:48,359 --> 03:43:55,000
allocating $10,000 for after school
program for the same facilities now we

1861
03:43:52,800 --> 03:44:01,840
need to use that money in D Park
allocated for D Park uh District B we're

1862
03:43:58,800 --> 03:44:07,840
allocating $10,000 to Roberton Willam
after school program okay that's and and

1863
03:44:05,640 --> 03:44:12,120
I think the attorney just said you know
you know let

1864
03:44:09,680 --> 03:44:18,560
not to

1868
03:44:33,279 --> 03:44:43,239

$10,000 is that we can use on the ARP

03:44:40,159 --> 03:44:50,600
money American Rescue money right here
the next page over has already allocated

116,000 they can use that $5,000 for
when we have a basetball league you know

1903
03:49:13,720 --> 03:49:16,720
FA

1904
03:49:19,840 --> 03:49:28,159
oh let's do a question can can I
take supp

1905
03:49:28,960 --> 03:49:34,680
have okay there's no we over we over

1906
03:49:34,760 --> 03:49:42,720
$5,000 I mean you got to look at the
totality of what's about to happen I

1907
03:49:39,800 --> 03:49:48,359
know we got this money I think it should
be a cap

1908
03:49:44,800 --> 03:49:55,800
on what we can do with the money with
just individuals right in still of just

1909
03:49:52,359 --> 03:50:01,159
$10,000 I know it's a great idea but
that's a lot of money to give just one

1910
03:49:58,239 --> 03:50:04,840
nonprofit organization I think we need
to have I'm just brainstorming I mean

1911
03:50:03,439 --> 03:50:11,600
it's question answer I got it right to
my opinion so U I think we need to cap

1912
03:50:08,840 --> 03:50:16,199
it off even if it is your money because
it's still City money and it kind of

1913
03:50:14,239 --> 03:50:19,279
look when you look at it they they're
not going to look at it as a grant it's

1914
03:50:17,399 --> 03:50:24,159
just going to look at you gave one
organization was it nonprofit whatever

1915
03:50:21,439 --> 03:50:29,120
you gave them $10,000 I think that's a
little steep I mean I want to help

1916
03:50:27,600 --> 03:50:34,080
enhance the
community but I think that is uh because

1917
03:50:32,199 --> 03:50:36,840
when you open Pand Bo somebody else
going to come up here and want

1918
03:50:38,359 --> 03:50:44,840
$10,000 that' be up to discussion of
that program to submitt I think it's a

1919
03:50:42,399 --> 03:50:48,880
valid program I think it have the
potential to use $10,000 or more I think

1920
03:50:47,359 --> 03:50:53,239
we just trying to give five additional
,000 from another program I think I

1921
03:50:51,760 --> 03:50:57,520
think I mean that's just show your
opinion I'm responding $10,000 is all

1922
03:50:55,880 --> 03:51:01,640
spelled out for the use I like the way
the propos is written I'm not just

1923
03:50:59,159 --> 03:51:07,279
coming off the top of my head this talk
about the program thre Monon program for

1924
03:51:04,040 --> 03:51:10,720
$10,000 with two teachers uh I mean you
know it seem to be

1925
03:51:08,680 --> 03:51:15,399
super I would have to say one of the
best proposals I have seen submitted you

1926
03:51:12,840 --> 03:51:22,279
know in my in my life business is all
spelled out uh it say 11,000 but we

1927
03:51:18,319 --> 03:51:26,840
never down to 10 uh all
been agree all depend the extent of the

1928
03:51:25,120 --> 03:51:32,239
program other words if I want to shoot
mares I would ask for $110,000 shoot

1929
03:51:29,640 --> 03:51:37,359
mares but we're talking about educating
kids in a Tut and reading program which

1930
03:51:34,880 --> 03:51:43,399
this this this organization is in the
community that could use it like I say

1931
03:51:39,560 --> 03:51:48,279
it probably could use a whole 15,000 but
excuse me it was just coming from the WR

1932
03:51:45,279 --> 03:51:52,199
program I had a problem with from the WR
bank but like I said I think I mean I

1933
03:51:51,040 --> 03:51:57,479
hear what you're saying I agree what
you're saying but if somebody else come

1934
03:51:53,680 --> 03:52:02,880
in my district say well you gave Mr uh
Roberts and Williams uh $10,000 they do

1935
03:52:00,800 --> 03:52:07,239
proposer I look at in back that would be
basically up to the uh decision of the

1936
03:52:05,239 --> 03:52:12,359
district that it's coming from I don't
want to put a cap on your District you

1937
03:52:09,560 --> 03:52:15,399
should want to put a cap on uh cap
District we talking about District just

1938
03:52:13,880 --> 03:52:22,600
still City money
I from is City money I mean I'm just I'm

1939
03:52:19,720 --> 03:52:27,159
just paying Dev what I'm saying
is when you get when you get later on

1940
03:52:25,880 --> 03:52:31,720
people going to come up and they going
to want they going to want different

1941
03:52:29,840 --> 03:52:35,920
things and you just can't distinguish we
just gave one person ,000 wait wait if

1942
03:52:34,080 --> 03:52:40,000
we have it and it's a good program
somebody come up tomorrow with a

1943
03:52:37,239 --> 03:52:45,720
$155,000 program I think it's suitable I
think that would be the district uh who

1944
03:52:44,000 --> 03:52:50,399
whoever counsel in that District to
present it and I think I should I would

1945
03:52:48,600 --> 03:52:55,000
want you would want me to support yours
as well I want you to support mine I

1946
03:52:52,199 --> 03:52:59,000
didn't think we were giv $50,000 to say
mother may I I thought we would have

1947
03:52:57,040 --> 03:53:04,399
enough sense to see what good what
benefit our community and I think Robert

1948
03:53:01,640 --> 03:53:10,640
William is one of the best communities
in the city of Bor

1949
03:53:07,600 --> 03:53:16,840

alligated for D har that's the only

1967
03:54:41,439 --> 03:54:49,199
problem I have with that but I I I refer
to that they uh that this uh after

1968
03:54:46,439 --> 03:54:55,560

D is discussion resolution 24 2073 track
program to reconsider the previous

1972
03:55:30,720 --> 03:55:40,359
elimination of City SP program can I
speak on that man yes sir I I think

1973
03:55:37,000 --> 03:55:45,000
that it's been u a
misunderstanding if my memory Ser me

1974
03:55:42,279 --> 03:55:50,479
correctly I think that budget was
adopted it was more

1975
03:55:47,399 --> 03:55:55,880
of removing funding because I I think
that we had spoke to the fact of

1976
03:55:53,080 --> 03:55:59,800
football and at the time we uh adopted
the budget we was past football season

1977
03:55:57,800 --> 03:56:03,399
so we said hey don't need to have that
that money in the

1978
03:56:00,960 --> 03:56:08,399
football a line it for football when we
pass football so and I and I can't be

1979
03:56:06,319 --> 03:56:14,720
wrong but I I just wanted to say that I
don't think that I remember any council

1980
03:56:10,399 --> 03:56:20,120
member saying they eliminate get of St
for okay well I think there's a

1981
03:56:16,600 --> 03:56:25,840
resolution that that that speaks to that
glad and I'm glad you brought that up

1982
03:56:21,800 --> 03:56:31,880
because we have it in our packets and my
name is signed as yay James Green is

1983
03:56:28,520 --> 03:56:37,439
signed as yay har Lo is signed as yay
the NES are Charles Bradford and de

1984
03:56:34,479 --> 03:56:43,439
green is no way that I
said strip just stop or eliminate

1985
03:56:41,120 --> 03:56:50,279
programs I said it for the record last
time I said for record again I have

1986
03:56:46,399 --> 03:57:00,359
grandchildren in bastu that participate
in programs so why would I eliminate a

1987
03:56:57,080 --> 03:57:04,359
program I would not and I'm furious
about this so what what I want my

1988
03:57:02,720 --> 03:57:10,000
grandkids to do all of them go to
Sterlington and play no I work my

1989
03:57:06,920 --> 03:57:15,399
daughter works we trying to stay local
but when you look at this um U

1990
03:57:12,439 --> 03:57:21,319
resolution my name is like I agree to
this and I did

1991
03:57:16,880 --> 03:57:25,159
not I did not okay I didn't write the
resolution and all you have to do is

1992
03:57:23,239 --> 03:57:30,399
look back at I didn't sign it that's not
my signature and that's a problem too

1993
03:57:27,800 --> 03:57:36,159
why aren't we signing resolutions okay
at one time we were signing every

1994
03:57:32,279 --> 03:57:36,159
resolution now we sign

1995
03:57:36,279 --> 03:57:40,560
nothing definitely not

1996
03:57:44,520 --> 03:57:52,840
oh for
clarity they have I have instructed when

1997
03:57:50,680 --> 03:57:56,680
they make the
resolutions there's no signature

1998
03:57:54,960 --> 03:58:02,800
required of any member because the vote
is reflected in the minutes well de de

1999
03:58:00,560 --> 03:58:08,399
now it's a problem with that why I say
that is because of the resolution that

2000
03:58:04,960 --> 03:58:12,800
came up earlier we didn't see it we just
went on somebody's word and now the

2001
03:58:10,840 --> 03:58:18,439
whole thing has changed where it says
the mayor appoints council's left out I

2002
03:58:15,399 --> 03:58:22,640
didn't sign that so when did it happen
so that's the that's the point when I

2003
03:58:20,120 --> 03:58:28,239
said you need to have material in front
of you yeah there's no way I can go take

2004
03:58:25,319 --> 03:58:32,880
a test and don't look at anything so
when they pass them over since they're

2005
03:58:30,479 --> 03:58:37,800
not signed the vote that's recorded in
the record those writings for anybody

2006
03:58:35,720 --> 03:58:43,720
who's here in the public those writings
are my writing of the names who voted

2007
03:58:40,680 --> 03:58:48,920
for the resolution tr get mixed up like
was

2008
03:58:45,000 --> 03:58:54,479
yeah mixed up so they for some reason
and I don't know why they still want a

2009
03:58:52,279 --> 03:58:59,399
name wrote on told them the law is it's
a resolution once y'all once y'all V

2010
03:58:56,880 --> 03:59:05,319
vote that's it but when something is is
screwed like we eliminating the program

2011
03:59:02,279 --> 03:59:10,840
like this we need something in black and
white so so for for clarity for anybody

2012
03:59:08,439 --> 03:59:15,199
in the public nobody on that Council
signed that motion I simply recorded the

2013
03:59:13,319 --> 03:59:19,680
vote on the
and you always know it's me because I

2014
03:59:17,600 --> 03:59:24,080
put the first letter of your name a
period and then your last but it didn't

2015
03:59:21,319 --> 03:59:29,600
happen like this we didn't we did not
but intend for it to be deleted but what

2016
03:59:27,479 --> 03:59:32,840
the what y'all voted for that night in
the

2017
03:59:30,359 --> 03:59:37,080
resolution what this was the night the
budget was passed okay you cuz I got

2018
03:59:35,840 --> 03:59:40,640
something you know I got all my records
just keep going I'm going to walk you

2019
03:59:38,560 --> 03:59:47,040
all the way up to this this one right
here so what was voted on was is Tove

2020
03:59:44,040 --> 03:59:53,520
remove the money from the way it was
paid because it was being paid to City

2021
03:59:51,439 --> 03:59:57,840
teams there was the football one was
specifically eliminated because the

2022
03:59:55,760 --> 04:00:01,239
football season had already run and
there was no reason to put money in the

2023
03:59:59,640 --> 04:00:05,640
football thing because by the time the
budget came through the football season

2024
04:00:03,920 --> 04:00:09,560
was over and there had been no football
program so there was determined by the

2025
04:00:07,680 --> 04:00:14,279
council that hey we don't have to
allocate money there

2026
04:00:11,800 --> 04:00:17,359
because the football season's ready
there was no money spended on football

2027
04:00:16,279 --> 04:00:25,560
that year because there was no football
program that year the track team was the

2028
04:00:22,479 --> 04:00:29,600
track money was taken out because of I
gave the legal opinion that you can't

2029
04:00:27,080 --> 04:00:33,800
pay for a track team but you can have a
track program you can't have a track

2030
04:00:31,319 --> 04:00:39,840
team so it was taken out of budget but
this is eliminating programs yeah that

2031
04:00:36,960 --> 04:00:44,439
that that's not
uh but the way they're listed so the way

2032
04:00:42,640 --> 04:00:47,960
the items are listed in there hold on
real quick I don't mean to cut you off

2033
04:00:46,479 --> 04:00:53,640
but the way they're list in there
reflects the budget line item the way it

2034
04:00:50,199 --> 04:00:58,880
was titled but we still are not
deleting we deleted the money because

2035
04:00:56,920 --> 04:01:02,920
the season was over but this is not what
this says it's saying that we as a

2036
04:01:01,600 --> 04:01:09,279
council
deleted uh some of the City Sports

2037
04:01:05,600 --> 04:01:13,640
programs so you have to create um
whenever you do ordinances or

2038
04:01:11,479 --> 04:01:19,120
resolutions it's for the people that's
coming behind us somebody come behind me

2039
04:01:16,479 --> 04:01:25,279
and they pull this it says that Angela
ta agreed to um eliminate sports

2040
04:01:23,319 --> 04:01:32,479
programs this is what this
say I I I think cuz I think the two

2041
04:01:28,880 --> 04:01:40,640
intertwin like approving approving the
adopting the budget and and removing

2042
04:01:36,040 --> 04:01:44,560
some of the funds I think somehow got
they're always interwined because you

2043
04:01:42,000 --> 04:01:50,279
made alterations to the budg adoption
instrument

2044
04:01:46,080 --> 04:01:56,040
no not from not from eliminate a program
how how would they be so so so if you if

2045
04:01:57,279 --> 04:02:03,399
you correct you did and the way those
amendments are done is you have to list

2046
04:02:01,359 --> 04:02:13,439
the line item when it was listed on the
budget it was listed as those exact

2047
04:02:07,000 --> 04:02:13,439
words the perception we cancel

2048
04:02:14,800 --> 04:02:23,000
you saying when the budget was adopted
you just what you tell me it was a line

2049
04:02:19,080 --> 04:02:25,880
item that St removal of C the program no
no there was nothing in there said that

2050
04:02:24,600 --> 04:02:30,359
I'm trying to get to it before I read
that so I'm just talking about where the

2051
04:02:27,840 --> 04:02:33,680
the I remember typing in the as they
were going as y'all were going through

2052
04:02:31,479 --> 04:02:39,239
them which ones to take out and I put I
always put just like a c put some

2053
04:02:36,760 --> 04:02:44,199
track they said when they made the
motion to take out not get rid of the

2054
04:02:41,439 --> 04:02:47,359
program it for it was to move move the
money to to the

2055
04:02:55,000 --> 04:03:01,199
appropriate just
lot the that's

2056
04:03:06,479 --> 04:03:10,600
why at the

2057
04:03:19,520 --> 04:03:30,159
at the last city council Mee we asked we
asked the mayor specifically about this

2058
04:03:26,680 --> 04:03:34,800
and she said it was a arrow with the
flowers she said the prepar must have

2059
04:03:33,199 --> 04:03:39,640
made a mistake go back and look at the
tap when I when she when we was talking

2060
04:03:37,000 --> 04:03:43,520
about this last time she said well we
asked her about removing this she said

2061
04:03:41,560 --> 04:03:48,520
well it must been the prepar that that
did

2062
04:03:44,600 --> 04:03:55,279
and also and you know better than I know
we was talking about a team yes and and

2063
04:03:52,040 --> 04:04:02,159
the reason we was talking about a team
because the money and actual we was

2064
04:03:58,520 --> 04:04:07,399
really trying to just yeah keep people
uh from getting in trouble because you

2065
04:04:04,560 --> 04:04:11,520
misappropriated the $188,000 right
correct so what what what you have here

2066
04:04:10,040 --> 04:04:15,680
is you have two things you have two
things running head on okay separate I'm

2067
04:04:14,239 --> 04:04:21,560
going to separate them for you so it's
real clear for the public one is is that

2068
04:04:18,680 --> 04:04:27,319
uh when you're using accounting terms
talking about the budget you can either

2069
04:04:24,680 --> 04:04:31,439
do additions subtractions or you can
call them

2070
04:04:29,359 --> 04:04:36,159
deletions it's either subtraction or
deletion it deletion is whenever you

2071
04:04:33,560 --> 04:04:40,600
just took the line item out because one
the football program it didn't delete

2072
04:04:38,359 --> 04:04:46,720
the football program it deleted the line
of item am of money and so the physical

2073
04:04:44,880 --> 04:04:50,840
document that y'all voted on that
reflected because I drafted it the

2074
04:04:49,080 --> 04:04:54,840
physical document you voted on just
deleted the line item because the

2075
04:04:53,159 --> 04:04:59,120
football season had already run there
was no need to allocate money there so I

2076
04:04:57,319 --> 04:05:04,840
used the accounting term
deletion the track program we discussed

2077
04:05:02,880 --> 04:05:09,840
that they were paying for individual
players city employees hotels all this

2078
04:05:07,920 --> 04:05:13,920
stuff I advised yall that it was against
the law to pay that so that was taken

2079
04:05:12,359 --> 04:05:17,319
out
of the miscellaneous funds is the

2080
04:05:15,720 --> 04:05:20,880
accounting term you'd use to take it off
the thing if you drafting a you say

2081
04:05:19,279 --> 04:05:25,720
delete off the line item for
miscellaneous funds you didn't delete

2082
04:05:22,920 --> 04:05:29,840
any programs you only took out the
football program money because the

2083
04:05:27,880 --> 04:05:34,239
season had already run you took out the
track program because I advised you

2084
04:05:31,399 --> 04:05:38,680
legally you cannot pay for a team and
then you deleted out miscellaneous funds

2085
04:05:36,960 --> 04:05:41,439
because that fund you didn't know where
anything was going you said look we

2086
04:05:39,880 --> 04:05:44,800
don't want to allocate money there so
you can either make additions or

2087
04:05:42,920 --> 04:05:49,159
deletions of the budget and that's what
it reflected it was not a deletion of

2088
04:05:46,880 --> 04:05:54,600
the wholesale program or any way to
impede the administration or anybody

2089
04:05:51,800 --> 04:05:59,720
from having a program it was simply to
reflect what was the current stake we

2090
04:05:56,960 --> 04:06:04,359
proposed the budget in July but it
didn't get adopted till uh I believe

2091
04:06:02,560 --> 04:06:09,000
this is actually I can put the date on
there it is October the 14th since the

2092
04:06:06,479 --> 04:06:14,239
football season had run so to have money
allocated in a current year budget after

2093
04:06:11,720 --> 04:06:16,760
the time the thing had run was was a not
it was just it was it was going to put

2094
04:06:15,479 --> 04:06:24,080
money somewhere it would never get spent
and go back to General form Mr Jon that

2095
04:06:19,840 --> 04:06:30,960
same night we had a parent here that was
concerned that we were deleting program

2096
04:06:27,800 --> 04:06:37,800
now you you explaining that to us here
but what does public say yes that three

2097
04:06:34,640 --> 04:06:43,640
City Council Members deleted program
well that's perception correct

2098
04:06:41,159 --> 04:06:51,159
perception if anybody
fin sorry Mr La we want that corrected

2099
04:06:46,720 --> 04:06:55,239
corre we did not delete programs no and
and I will put that on the record that

2100
04:06:53,760 --> 04:06:57,960
discussion that night there was not a
deletion of programs any

2101
04:06:56,880 --> 04:07:03,720
characterization that a
mischaracterization of

2102
04:07:00,760 --> 04:07:07,680
what attorney Jes it's kind of amazing
to me that you know we was pushed to

2103
04:07:06,479 --> 04:07:13,680
trying to get the budget pass you
remember that we kept coming back coming

2104
04:07:09,920 --> 04:07:17,920
back and to read this on the door let
talk about the three council members

2105
04:07:15,880 --> 04:07:23,760
that voted to pass the budget to keep
the city going we get thrown under the

2106
04:07:21,279 --> 04:07:27,319
bus trying to make it look like that we
did something that we didn't do only

2107
04:07:26,040 --> 04:07:31,359
thing we was trying to do was keep the
city going but you know what's going to

2108
04:07:28,920 --> 04:07:31,359
happen next

2109
04:07:31,520 --> 04:07:40,640
time we going to read everything and
compromising when we compromise if it

2110
04:07:38,000 --> 04:07:44,760
take us six months we going to read
every

2111
04:07:41,600 --> 04:07:49,000
line we going to do everything because
you see what happen when you do a good

2112
04:07:46,279 --> 04:07:57,439
deed think about it the ones that pass
the budget are the ones that's getting

2113
04:07:51,840 --> 04:08:02,520
ostracized yeah that was so that and and
D can speak to this you have accounting

2114
04:07:59,479 --> 04:08:08,279
experience we both discussed this when
you amend budgets you it's not stifling

2115
04:08:06,640 --> 04:08:13,040
something it was simply you can either
make additions or deletions from budget

2116
04:08:10,760 --> 04:08:15,960
that was just to delete the idol it was
not

2117
04:08:14,080 --> 04:08:20,960
not the program that's what that's why I
stay for that's why I stay for so so

2118
04:08:19,560 --> 04:08:26,000
much took place tonight before it's
adopting the budget and with adoption

2119
04:08:24,080 --> 04:08:32,800
the Council made their amendment in
which somehow somehow it took removing

2120
04:08:29,720 --> 04:08:38,399
the funding is removing the program no
the the and and for clarity the

2121
04:08:35,399 --> 04:08:42,720
football funds by the time we came
through adoption had already run past

2122
04:08:41,080 --> 04:08:46,040
the season and so that money was going
to just sit there there and not be able

2123
04:08:44,479 --> 04:08:52,239
to be used in other places when it
hadn't been used already the track

2124
04:08:48,439 --> 04:08:57,319
program uh line item was actually a team
and I advise you legally you cannot pay

2125
04:08:54,199 --> 04:09:03,560
for a team cuz cuz I also too in regards
to the track I think that uh it was it

2126
04:09:05,520 --> 04:09:19,000
was you was you informed the council
that it was illegal for this coun

2127
04:09:14,520 --> 04:09:24,479
give any funds to track so and
this if I heard different you know tell

2128
04:09:21,840 --> 04:09:29,319
me tell me differ no no I will confirm
that the way in which the track funds

2129
04:09:26,319 --> 04:09:33,760
have been expended was not was not an
appropriate way to expend the track and

2130
04:09:31,040 --> 04:09:39,720
that's why this Council had removed the
funding for track because we wanted to

2131
04:09:36,319 --> 04:09:44,439
be correct legal you know I voted the
way I voted but I I stand with them when

2132
04:09:42,119 --> 04:09:50,680
they for leg purposes because when
hearing from the city attorney that what

2133
04:09:46,840 --> 04:09:54,640
we was doing have been illegal so all us
none of us want to go to jail so we

2134
04:09:52,720 --> 04:09:58,439
everybody did what it took to be legal
yeah the track track although it was not

2135
04:09:56,840 --> 04:10:01,239
a program it was a team there's a
difference between a program and the

2136
04:09:59,720 --> 04:10:06,960
team hold on so here's the thing for
transparency so so the people that don't

2137
04:10:04,479 --> 04:10:12,399
know would look at the council body and
say oh they just don't want to deal with

2138
04:10:09,800 --> 04:10:19,119
track but when we we have to follow your
instruction for just being legal so if

2139
04:10:16,000 --> 04:10:22,880
we' been for some our years been illegal
that don't mean we should keep pushing

2140
04:10:20,720 --> 04:10:29,520
you know kicking the can no no and it's
in I don't recall any dialogue

2141
04:10:26,880 --> 04:10:35,000
regarding wholesale doing away with
programs we had a dialogue that there is

2142
04:10:32,040 --> 04:10:39,520
no way are you authorized to have a team
and the dialogue was and then future

2143
04:10:37,640 --> 04:10:44,199
dialogue at other meetings was how can
we proceed with having a track program

2144
04:10:45,080 --> 04:10:54,520
I if I recall right you're absolutely
right that it came about how they were

2145
04:10:51,080 --> 04:10:59,560
being funding who have been paid to that
but that was M see because we're

2146
04:10:57,439 --> 04:11:05,359
thinking the funding was coming through
the city they was raising their own

2147
04:11:02,159 --> 04:11:09,520
money for the track team I mean for the
track program call track program the

2148
04:11:07,439 --> 04:11:13,760
proper ter be programmed because not a
team it's a program we can have program

2149
04:11:12,239 --> 04:11:17,479
we can't have a team
correct okay okay that was a track

2150
04:11:15,680 --> 04:11:24,319
program it say in the budget track
program call it as is as a track program

2151
04:11:21,119 --> 04:11:28,359
and if if they can raise money to help
with their program that you know the

2152
04:11:26,000 --> 04:11:32,800
sponsors that that should be fine I
think when Mrs

2153
04:11:30,800 --> 04:11:36,560
misunderstood understand how would came
about and I think it should be called

2154
04:11:35,119 --> 04:11:41,880
track
program it should be called track

2155
04:11:39,279 --> 04:11:47,119
program and we should fund the track
program as well as the football program

2156
04:11:44,600 --> 04:11:51,199
I mean fund the program now we can't
call them a team we can call it a

2157
04:11:48,680 --> 04:11:55,920
program and if it's a program any
program can go outside of the city and

2158
04:11:53,720 --> 04:12:00,080
raise funds for the additional cost of
what they need I think we misunderstood

2159
04:11:57,880 --> 04:12:05,560
that that got past
all that that's that's the that's the

2160
04:12:02,720 --> 04:12:05,560
delineation

2161
04:12:06,880 --> 04:12:13,640
there keep we should we should
stipulated anything that you raise

2162
04:12:11,159 --> 04:12:18,000
outside anything that you donate to you
should be put in a separate

2163
04:12:15,720 --> 04:12:22,560
F that's that's what we
saying that's

2164
04:12:20,080 --> 04:12:26,239
what what the own to see it okay well
let us do it properly because the track

2165
04:12:24,439 --> 04:12:30,640
Program start
tomorrow and we need to correct that

2166
04:12:28,600 --> 04:12:35,439
before we leave here T name the track
program should we we should spell out

2167
04:12:33,600 --> 04:12:39,880
that the program have whatever we going
to give them for the program anything

2168
04:12:37,640 --> 04:12:45,319
that race should be put in a separate
fund and move forward the ISS

2169
04:12:43,760 --> 04:12:49,159
so when it comes to when it comes to
doing a budget when it come to doing a

2170
04:12:47,439 --> 04:12:53,640
budget typically what they what theyve
been doing is they've been budgeting off

2171
04:12:51,600 --> 04:12:58,159
PR year so they look at the budget see
what what been spent so when they look

2172
04:12:55,840 --> 04:13:02,720
at the um the year to end date at the
end of June they look to say hey the

2173
04:12:59,960 --> 04:13:08,399
track spend I'm going just go off say
$36,000 but of that $36,000 there's

2174
04:13:05,800 --> 04:13:15,119
donations so when we when you come to
budge you budg based off what's included

2175
04:13:11,359 --> 04:13:15,119
with the donation and that's

2176
04:13:15,159 --> 04:13:20,359
we should correct the problem I agree
with you Mr GRE we should correct the

2177
04:13:18,159 --> 04:13:25,359
problem and move the program forward so
what happened is is in in particular it

2178
04:13:23,119 --> 04:13:31,760
was with track football was ready passed
track had an amount of money that was

2179
04:13:27,520 --> 04:13:36,520
coming from donations which which and
then there was some money the city was

2180
04:13:34,000 --> 04:13:41,560
giving in but the issue with that is
different from football that was

2181
04:13:38,119 --> 04:13:47,119
actually paid to coaches paid to people
traveling paid people which is a

2182
04:13:44,560 --> 04:13:54,000
team not a program but would be a
problem if we just reinstate the program

2183
04:13:50,640 --> 04:13:58,199
instead and state on WE once we reate
the program and state anything that

2184
04:13:56,119 --> 04:14:03,040
donat should be kept separate from the
city funding can we do that you actually

2185
04:14:01,239 --> 04:14:07,760
on even St a program you'd have to start
a program well well we start the program

2186
04:14:05,520 --> 04:14:13,159
and start the program and anything and
and and spell out anything that donated

2187
04:14:10,119 --> 04:14:18,119
to the track team football team baseball
anything donate to any program should be

2188
04:14:15,439 --> 04:14:22,880
put in a separate fund separate from the
city budget correct and Miss Hendrick

2189
04:14:20,760 --> 04:14:27,359
stood up that night who with she's had
DNA sport for a while and she explained

2190
04:14:24,960 --> 04:14:31,159
it there's a there's usually a a league
account and then there's a there's a

2191
04:14:29,560 --> 04:14:35,319
city account for certain things that are
like little equipment stuff that are

2192
04:14:33,080 --> 04:14:40,800
General like that but the uniforms come
out of the the leag can we make a motion

2193
04:14:38,000 --> 04:14:45,479
to move on the motion that that what I
just said

2194
04:14:42,040 --> 04:14:48,640
seor make a motion well we that's what
we accomplished with the budget okay the

2195
04:14:47,439 --> 04:14:54,800
M track
program and and what I'm saying is

2196
04:14:51,520 --> 04:14:58,239
you'll see when when the audit I checked
on the audit too the audit you'll see it

2197
04:14:56,720 --> 04:15:04,199
at the end of the month and then you'll
know exactly what I'm talking about so

2198
04:15:00,840 --> 04:15:10,319
everybody just Cal down and we was
talking about this $118,000 when I say

2199
04:15:06,439 --> 04:15:16,199
it was when it was put into a city fund
it become City money and you cannot give

2200
04:15:12,640 --> 04:15:21,439
City money to private citizens so you
going to see when the when the audit

2201
04:15:17,760 --> 04:15:28,159
comes exactly why we was trying to
correct the wrong so we can have a

2202
04:15:24,000 --> 04:15:34,040
program because actually when you
violate the law which is the man I talk

2203
04:15:31,520 --> 04:15:38,239
to the big bad rou and other people you
could get in trouble not the city

2204
04:15:35,520 --> 04:15:44,359
council but the people that actually
reive the fund so we was just trying to

2205
04:15:41,159 --> 04:15:49,800
come up with a comprehensive way to to
to do it because and you can't just you

2206
04:15:47,840 --> 04:15:57,000
know ignorance of the law is no excuse
when you put the money in to the city

2207
04:15:52,159 --> 04:16:03,080
fund then if you violate any codes or
any law then you going to be held liable

2208
04:16:00,000 --> 04:16:03,080
then you can get a criminal

2209
04:16:03,359 --> 04:16:14,279
referral and to make it
clear I was I was under one directive

2210
04:16:09,880 --> 04:16:18,800
when I City attorne to keep person legal
and I gave the advice that we needed to

2211
04:16:16,680 --> 04:16:26,199
take that money out until we could
establish a program not a te because of

2212
04:16:22,000 --> 04:16:34,159
what because of what there so that's
why so I gave that advice based on what

2213
04:16:29,640 --> 04:16:34,159
I what I've seen and discover

2214
04:16:47,000 --> 04:16:55,640
like to make a motion
that program be put back the track

2215
04:16:53,000 --> 04:17:00,520
program be put back and any money
donated to the track program any sport

2216
04:16:57,800 --> 04:17:00,520
program be

2217
04:17:08,720 --> 04:17:12,720
kept about

2218
04:17:17,239 --> 04:17:20,040
can I get a motion

2219
04:17:30,640 --> 04:17:34,239
to ition

2220
04:17:36,760 --> 04:17:45,960
