Um, 61 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:38,880 the reason this is being brought up is because we are needing and desperate 62 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:43,759 needing to upgrade our taser equipment. What we've been 63 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:50,479 what we've been utilizing is out of date, is not in service. We can't find 64 00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:55,919 parts for it. This would allow us not only to have something that is better 65 00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:01,440 for us, better for the citizens, provide more safety, but it also would provide 66 00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:06,400 us with more training tools and cover certifications 67 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:10,479 for the period time period of this agreement 68 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:16,800 and I'm prepared to answer any questions that you may have. 69 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:21,600 All right.

Go ahead. 74 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,840 » Um, I'm not sure if my questions are for him or for you guys. 75 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:44,080 » Okay. >> So, 76 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:49,120 it's more about contract. So, I'm assuming that would be for you 77 00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:51,360 guys, not for the officer. Our questions right now is for the 78 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,120 officer. >> No, they can be directed to him because 79 00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:00,160 they know about the contract. They're they're aware of the contract. 80 00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:05,039 » Okay. So, um I'll start off with pricing then. Um do you know that the city 81 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:10,639 obtained competing proposals or independent pricing comparisons before 82 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:20,600 selecting the $118,000 Axon package? or are we comparing Axon's 83 00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:20,600 price only to Axon's own list price? 84 00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:30,639 There was information gathered or quotes gathered from a company called Phaser. 85 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:36,720 However, their their product is not nearly as good or as cost effective as 86 00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:42,240 this. >> Thank you. 87 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:46,720 Um, do you know what the city's cancellation rights and financial 88 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:51,720 obligations are if the agreement needs to be terminated before 2030? 89 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,520 » I don't have that information off the top of my head. However, uh, after this 90 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,400 meeting, I'll get you my email address. You can email it to me and I will email 91 00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:05,400 you the information back. >> Okay. 92 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:13,039 At the end of the 60-month contract, what equipment does the city own 93 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:20,120 outright? What services or software stop? And what will it cost annually to 94 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,120 continue using the system? 95 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:29,120 » If so, the way that Axon works, you don't 96 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:32,560 own any of the equipment. Everything gets leased. And the reason why that 97 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:37,759 happens is if we bought anything outright and it got broken, we'd have to 98 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:42,720 buy a brand new paper, which is upwards of could be several thousands of 99 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:47,440 dollars. As opposed to under this, under the way that they do it now, if one gets 100 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,039 broken out in the field or malfunctions for whatever reason, we send them that 101 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,840 one, they send us a new one back. This is one for one swap. Um, in fact, in 102 00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,960 this proposal, we don't even have to pay for the darts that we use every year. 103 00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:06,720 uh all the training darts, everything will be supplied by Axon along with all 104 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:10,560 the training materials. >> Oh, I'm sorry. And for the second part 105 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:14,319 of your question, we would have to enter into another agreement after this one is 106 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,319 up with >> Okay, 107 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,400 let's see. 108 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:34,000 Um, basically the um, if you buy each handle outright, they're like $2,100, 109 00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:40,399 which comes to about $47,000, which leaves $70,000 110 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:46,560 for the rest of the program. You feel like everything else that's listed for 111 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,560 the rest of the program is absolutely necessary. 112 00:08:50,959 --> 00:09:00,720 First off, buying the handles outright is is not really is not as cost 113 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:05,760 effective as this. The what you don't understand or what hasn't 114 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:11,279 been brought to your attention is all of the protection that comes with going 115 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:19,200 through this contract with Axel on the liability side, all the training 116 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:24,080 materials. It is definitely worth Okay, one quick question since I had to 117 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:31,440 share my time. Um, I just am interested to know what fund or budget line will 118 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:36,640 pay the uh approximately $23,000 annual installments through 2030 and has that 119 00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:40,519 5-year obligation been included in the city's financial planning? 120 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:49,760 Yes, that will be because you're already using the taser system now which is 121 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:54,560 costing us more money and that's being replaced by a newer system which will be 122 00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,720 a cost savings of 30,000. Is that correct? 123 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:02,120 » 29 >> 29 40. 124 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,120 » Okay. 125 00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:09,279 » 41,000. It' be a cost savings of 41, 126 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:15,040 » right? 40. It'd be 41,000. We looked at that. We're at well that's first thing 127 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:19,200 out of our we we asked was the I said do we have the money and where what are you 128 00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:23,200 spending it on now and they were spending on old technology and the old 129 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:28,560 technology was costing us more money this makes sense to go ahead as a cost 130 00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:32,800 savings of $41,000 to the city. All right, Miss Preston please state your 131 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:38,079 name and address for record. Ma'am, >> Preston 132 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:44,240 641 St. Austin Street. >> Yes, ma'am. Go ahead. I had a couple 133 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:50,160 questions and he stated that um it was to replace the old system and my 134 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:55,920 question at that time was does that impede the job we're doing now? Has it 135 00:10:52,959 --> 00:11:01,279 reduced the job performance? Has it caused any harm or debt not to have that 136 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:07,880 new upgrade? And for what calendar year on the budget was that allowed for if it 137 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,880 was discussed? 138 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:20,880 This is a to put it in a military term for me and 139 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:22,320 that cuz I spend so much time in the military. 140 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,360 » I retire milary. >> Okay. 141 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:30,640 » It's a force multiply is the best way to put it. This gives officers and the 142 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:34,640 public more it does provide more safety. It 143 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:39,920 allows the officers to be safer because we have a greater range that we can use 144 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:48,399 this item instead of uh 21 ft with the the system we're using 145 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:53,680 presently. This goes out to 45. So it gives us a greater distance. It also 146 00:11:50,480 --> 00:12:00,480 gives more audible. It gives audible tones along with 147 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:04,320 uh visual cues to let somebody know that they need to. It just it gives us 148 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:10,160 another tool in our tool chest instead of having to go hands on with somebody 149 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:15,519 and possibly hurt them if they resist. And it just it keeps our officers safer 150 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:20,880 so that way they don't have to get hurt. Excuse 151 00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:26,560 me. But that was not my question. My question was has it impeded the officer 152 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:33,279 caused a decrease cause officers to be injured? Those were my questions now. 153 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,360 And what was the life cycle for the old system? 154 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:41,839 » The old system had stopped being supported in 2014. So the it's a old 155 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:46,720 model should have been exempted over 18 eight years ago which was when this 156 00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:51,200 council was in place. >> Uh I can't speak on any of that but I 157 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,160 what I will say is we are not the only law enforcement agency that is running 158 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,440 into this >> right and I understand that cuz I do 159 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:05,440 want our police force to have >> equipment. My thing is by the urgency 160 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:11,200 under a new under a fiscal administration we were financially 161 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:17,440 strapped would we be looking at this as an option at this time and date and if 162 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:22,880 we can't say what budget year it's not really fully vetted because you're not 163 00:13:19,839 --> 00:13:28,000 telling us in her portion on what budget line. Yeah, you can email it to us and 164 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:32,800 you say you've discussed it, but we we're looking for it on the final budget 165 00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:38,000 for this year, for that fiscal year, and the year after. So, we have to know 166 00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:41,120 which fiscal year it's identifying. And that's why we're concerned about that. 167 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,240 » I understand what you're saying >> at this time. 168 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:48,000 » The the fiscal stuff you're going to have to speak with, I would say, Mr. Bob 169 00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:57,600 on that, >> but they never I applaud you to come. 170 00:13:52,720 --> 00:14:02,160 But I I will say this this we cannot get batteries 171 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:09,519 parts or any more cartridges for the tasers that we are presently used and a 172 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:15,199 taser is a huge >> So the taser system is down. 173 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:21,199 » It's not down but we can't get anything. We cannot get anything to if we like if 174 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:25,600 we're officer broke a taser right now. They just won't have a taser. We don't 175 00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:29,760 have a taser to kill and we only have so many cartridges left over and even if 176 00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:31,920 their battery dies, we don't have a spare one. 177 00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:34,240 » That should be a part of the police's budget. 178 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:38,720 » Well, it is part of the budget. The problem is it's not that we can't it's 179 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,000 not that the money is not there for us to purchase it. Is that there's nowhere 180 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,639 to purchase it. >> Mhm. 181 00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:50,639 » Okay. So talking about military turning the parts are 182 00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:55,040 obsolete at this time. >> It's been obsolete for a minute. This is 183 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:59,040 the same time, right? So I understand it's been a 184 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,360 long time. >> Why? 185 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:05,519 » Mhm. >> Okay. Hang on, mayor. 186 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,560 » Yeah, I have a question because I'm hearing a contradiction here. Uh the 187 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:16,320 council was saying they have seen that it's more expensive to keep the current 188 00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:21,040 setup but you're saying that you are not able to order the parts. So I mean which 189 00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:25,839 one is it? Are we spending the money or are we not spending the money? 190 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:32,560 » If you find parts for it, it is way more expensive than what it used to be. But 191 00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:39,600 it trying to find them is you just can't do it. 192 00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:44,959 And the we also looked at the taser 7 which is the iteration before this one 193 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,199 Mr. Matt and Taser's about to stop supporting that one as well. 194 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,800 That's why we chose it. >> Right. And to be clear, I'm not arguing 195 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,079 for or against. I'm just hearing contradiction. I'm trying to seek 196 00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,320 clarification because again the city council is saying they've been briefed 197 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:04,880 and they they asked questions and they saw that it was more expensive. We're 198 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:08,720 spending more money right now. But then you're saying that you're not able to 199 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,079 find the parts to spend the money and when you are able it's like a needle in 200 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:18,639 a hay stack if I'm hearing you correct >> that it's it is extremely hard to find 201 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:23,839 parts and it is when you do find them it is expensive and unfortunately 202 00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:30,720 to keep using the system we're using it would be more expensive in the long run 203 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:34,880 just to find even cartridges to to use it would is astronomical 204 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:39,120 » compared to And and there was one other thing too 205 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:45,279 that was also discussed. So y'all know this was legal in the event because this 206 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:51,120 one is no longer being supported. The company would not come to court anymore 207 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:55,440 with it. The old the old company would not come in but the new company will 208 00:16:52,959 --> 00:17:00,560 defend you in court if properly used. >> Axon does not they will not come to your 209 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:05,120 to your aid and back your training or anything. So this is definitely a 210 00:17:02,959 --> 00:17:10,319 riskmanagement tool as well. >> Risk management. Yes. Okay. Gotcha. 211 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,199 All right. Mr. McNab, please come forward. State your name and address. 212 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:20,640 Sir. >> John McNav 202 Germany. Um my concern is 213 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:27,520 more with the evidence software. Uh after doing some research into Axom and 214 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:33,039 uh potential uh contracts or collaborations with companies such as 215 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:36,880 Flock Safety, um I found an article that appears to be from Flock Safety where 216 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:41,760 they made a reference to Axon potentially ending the contract with 217 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:47,760 Flock Safety. Um and so I guess I'm just trying to seek clarification. Is Axon 218 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:52,640 still working with flock and integrated into the flock system or is this going 219 00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:55,600 to be separate? >> This has nothing to do with the flock 220 00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:01,520 system. >> This is just purely for the tasers. 221 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:06,240 » Okay. So the the evidence software and Axon is divested from the flock at this 222 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:11,840 point. >> I can't speak for Axon. However, all I 223 00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:16,120 can speak on is that this has nothing to do with a flock system. 224 00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:26,320 » Okay. Anyone else please come to for state your name and address for the 225 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:31,919 record 27. 226 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:37,200 » Okay. And this is my thing about potatoes. And I understand 227 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:41,440 police safety, but I want to talk about public safety 228 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:47,679 when it comes to potatoes. About four years back, I had somebody 229 00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:53,120 from my community that we still don't know the answer to what happened, but we 230 00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:58,400 getting that he died because he was hit with a taser after he had been in the 231 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:04,000 water. and and we have never, you know, really 232 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:10,080 got over that. We still remember that from my community 233 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:15,440 and I just want to know from y'all if we do get this new taser since are 234 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:19,760 they going to be used properly? Is public safety going to be one of the 235 00:19:17,679 --> 00:19:26,400 primary reasons for getting these tasers in? And it the taser say don't hit 236 00:19:23,919 --> 00:19:30,320 somebody with it when they wet you know and it's going to amplify what you know 237 00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:34,640 the taser it's going to make it probably a thousand times worse than it would if 238 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:38,240 you drop it they already have effect on people when they drop cuz you see when I 239 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:42,880 see when they hit them they drop to the ground. 240 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:49,280 So I just want the system to be used correctly by anybody who's politely 241 00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:54,480 address that. >> So this is for for everybody's 242 00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:01,360 understanding how a taser works is this enters the inter m or the skeletal 243 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:07,280 muscle system. Basically imagine a big Charlie horse of a cramp across your 244 00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:13,120 body. That's why people fall to the ground. Also, this taser system has less 245 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,280 voltage than the one that we currently use. The young man that he was 246 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:24,280 referencing that had nothing. He did not die because 247 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,280 of a taser. 248 00:20:25,679 --> 00:20:32,919 That That was clear. He did not die because of a taser. 249 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:41,200 » Anyone else from the public wish to speak about this matter? 250 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:45,919 They be none. I close public discussion. Council discussion. Anybody from the 251 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:52,080 council have a question? >> The only uh the only discussion that I 252 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:57,280 have looking on the section on policy training or accountability 253 00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:02,799 as far as the company will do the training for who will be responsible for 254 00:21:00,159 --> 00:21:07,120 the training proper training. So we already have an instructor whom is 255 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:12,799 certified but this carries his instructor certificate for the next five 256 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:17,039 years. Um we are we h we do have a use of force 257 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:23,919 policy >> and that is in place and everything will 258 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:28,000 be followed by that policy and as a as the training coordinator for 259 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:33,200 the department I will ensure that training happens correctly 260 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:37,200 » and the repercussions if not followed by the policy. 261 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:40,880 » Absolutely. I was asking what would be repercussions 262 00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:44,559 if not followed by the policies. >> It would depend on what situation. 263 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,159 » Yes ma'am. Which [clears throat] is why the evidence system is a part of it 264 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,880 because you can download the logs from the taser, find out how it was deployed, 265 00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:58,520 when it was deployed, stuff like that. Along body camera footage, all that goes 266 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,520 in. 267 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:07,760 » Mr. Bjon, I do have a question as well. Yes, ma'am. Um each year during the 268 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:12,240 training um it states that the officers will receive training once a year to 269 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,760 sustain the reertification. >> Yes, ma'am. 270 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:20,159 » And um what about the new officers that are coming on? Um you said you're going 271 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:28,159 to be over with the program. How long will they um after they are hired? How 272 00:22:25,919 --> 00:22:32,640 long would it take for the new officers to um gain your certification? They'll 273 00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:35,679 gain their certification before they go to the academy. 274 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:41,200 » Before they go to the academy, >> just like the past the past four that we 275 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:47,600 sent to the academy, they got certified prior to um the young lady we sent to 276 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:52,480 the academy. This this uh academy, she got hers prior to 277 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:55,679 » Okay. So, prior to um going to the academy, they received their 278 00:22:54,080 --> 00:23:00,799 certification. Once they um come on board then it will 279 00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:06,440 be your obligation to make sure yearly that they receive a reertification. 280 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,440 » Yes ma'am. 281 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:17,360 » And another question I do have um the the prior equipment goes 21 ft. The new 282 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:21,440 equipment will be 45 ft with less voltage. Correct. 283 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:28,640 » Correct. And is that for persons who maybe um 284 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:36,240 could you tell me the why the from 21 ft to 45 and I'mma ask and then you can 285 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:41,679 tell me why because most people run or >> it's 286 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:47,840 so the reason why it produces less voltage per dart is because this system 287 00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:53,280 allows for an officer to do what's called a follow-up shot. So, pri the 288 00:23:50,720 --> 00:24:01,120 prior taser, you fired a cartridge, two darts came out. Excuse me. And if you 289 00:23:57,919 --> 00:24:05,840 missed with one probe, it didn't work. So, with this one, you fire a probe, you 290 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:10,960 have a follow-up shot, which connects the circuit. And if it's not a good 291 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:17,279 circuit, it allows you to follow another shot where it will connect to the best 292 00:24:13,679 --> 00:24:20,480 circuit. That's why it has less voltage. And do you feel more comfortable with 293 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:26,080 your new training, with the new equipment, the new taser that it will be 294 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,720 way better than what we're using previous? 295 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:33,440 » Absolutely. Especially with the integration of the VR system where we 296 00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:38,240 will get extensive training in deescalation. 297 00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:44,960 » Okay. And I do see and I did read where the um cartridges will be replaced 298 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:48,720 as often with no cost at all. >> Correct. 299 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:51,360 » To the city. Okay. Thank you so much. >> You're welcome. 300 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,480 » Any other council discussion? >> I just want to reference on page one to 301 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,440 16. >> Turn on your mic, please, 302 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:05,600 and pull it close to you. >> I just want to reference that um in your 303 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:12,200 packet from pages 1 to 16. Everything that Mr. Burgon just went through, you 304 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,200 can read it yourself on page 1 to 16. 305 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:24,640 I have a question >> specifically about deescalation 306 00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:27,440 training. How often are you all going to be giving that training to the 307 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:33,039 department? >> We give the escalation training now, Mr. 308 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:38,720 Mayor. However, this gives us another tool to use with the VR training 309 00:25:35,919 --> 00:25:44,880 » instead of having to but it to answer your question yearly. 310 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:51,840 I think I would suggest that we try to do it twice a year because I mean you 311 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:56,960 are adding new capabilities here like as you just stated instead of shooting 312 00:25:53,520 --> 00:26:01,919 someone once you can shoot twice and I think that creates a concern because we 313 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:08,000 have a lot of younger officers who are still running you know they're still uh 314 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,440 they're still coming becoming a a model police 315 00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:13,840 officer. You know what I'm saying? 316 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:19,840 » I understand what you're saying. And the one the one time or the annual training 317 00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:23,840 is a minimum requirement. >> It's not the only time we will be 318 00:26:21,919 --> 00:26:27,919 offering that training. It is a minimum requirement along with all the 319 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:32,120 additional training that is required of us. On top of that, 320 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:41,679 okay, there be no other discussions. I ask for Secretary Edwards. Ask for 321 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,480 roll call, please. >> Councilman Dunaway. 322 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:47,360 » Hi. >> Councilwoman Temples, 323 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,080 » I. >> Councilwoman Hillman, 324 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,320 » I. >> President Irvin, 325 00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:54,559 » I. >> Councilwoman Douglas, 326 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,799 » hi. >> Vice President Smith, 327 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,159 » I. >> Councilman Kates, 328 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:05,679 » I. >> All right. Next, we have an ordinance to 329 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:10,640 be read by uh Councilman Dunaway. Sir, >> an ordinance ratifying the declaration 330 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:17,279 of an extreme public emergency by the city of Olus regarding the clout of the 331 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:23,640 48 in strange cover on Avenue B. That was behind the national door there. 332 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:32,400 Just to bring everybody up to speed, this has already been resolved. It was 333 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:38,000 behind the National Guard unit. Uh it was quickly resolved. It's just that uh 334 00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:43,679 just a matter of us. We had about $50,000 set aside for the emergency. Uh 335 00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:47,760 it came in at $46,000 uh and $54.73. 336 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:51,360 Less than what we thought it would be. At this time, I ask for a motion and a 337 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,399 second. >> Make a motion. 338 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,600 » All right. Now, public discussion. Anyone from the public wish to speak 339 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,480 about it? Please state your name and address. Your three minutes will start 340 00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:07,200 after you state your name and address. Debbie Cetti, 764 Marshall Richardson 341 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:10,600 Road. Um questions on 342 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:23,600 in the contract it says um the section three this actually from the ordinance 343 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:30,240 before um section three requires verification of market rate pricing. Who 344 00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:35,520 performed that verification? And is the documentation supporting the labor, 345 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:39,240 equipment, and material rates available for council review? 346 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:48,480 » Can I just continue with my questions? >> Yes, ma'am. 347 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:54,559 » What exactly was repaired for the 46,000 some odd dollars? Like how many feet of 348 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:58,880 failed 48 in culvert were removed and replaced? And I assume this is the 349 00:28:57,039 --> 00:29:05,200 complete and final cost with no additional invoices expected. 350 00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:10,000 Um the ordinance describes a 26 ft sinkhole. 351 00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:14,960 What does the 26 ft measure and what material was used to back fill the 352 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:19,760 excavation? I don't see a substantial quantity of field on the contractor 353 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:24,080 worksheets. Did the city supply it separately? And if so, what did that 354 00:29:21,919 --> 00:29:30,720 cost? And again, what is the what fund is 355 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:36,320 paying the 46,000 some odd dollars? And is any portion eligible for 356 00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:41,520 reimbursement through insurance, FEMA, state in infrastructure funding, or 357 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:48,159 another source? Can you explain how the West 7th Street 358 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:53,279 locations on the contractor worksheets relate to the 48 inch culbert and sink 359 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:59,279 hole described in the ordinance as being behind the old National Guard Armory on 360 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:04,399 Avenue B. And that's it. 361 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:08,799 I'm really curious about that last question. 362 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:13,679 Everybody says it's behind the old National Guard Armory, but all of his 363 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:19,840 just say West 7th Street. >> Put this in a nutshell. Mr. Corsetti, it 364 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:27,039 was a huge cover which services the basically 365 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:31,679 everything back that direction like you're going 366 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:38,240 back towards the stadium. Everything was coming down that one area and it was 367 00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:42,240 causing flooding conditions back in the back. Everything comes down that one 368 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:48,960 culvert and it was explained to me by public works director that way. And they 369 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:52,159 when they go and get these people, they basically 370 00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:56,000 uh they're looking for somebody that 371 00:30:53,600 --> 00:31:01,440 actually can come out and actually is insured. There's a lot of contractors 372 00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:07,760 that are out there. so-called insured, but they're insured to doing residential 373 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:12,559 stuff, not for the city. So, uh that's that's how they came about this one 374 00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:18,159 here. Now, if the physical administration wishes to chime in and 375 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:24,080 discuss anything further about this and how we arranged at that, arrived at that 376 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:28,960 public works director. >> Public works director. Okay. So, but 377 00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:32,240 that's how we wound up with Mr. grading and he done it for under what we thought 378 00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:37,519 it would be. We thought it was going to be about $50,000. It was a major 379 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:41,120 undertaking. It took few days to fix and it was done. I saw the hole and it was a 380 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,080 lot bigger. >> The hole 381 00:31:41,679 --> 00:31:50,880 » the hole was directly behind the National Guard Armory as you go up the 382 00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:56,080 where the uh meal trucks come down. It was on the back side of the armory is 383 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,679 » so I'm confused. >> Okay. If the culver broke at West 7th 384 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,880 Street, >> Uhhuh. 385 00:32:00,399 --> 00:32:07,360 » how did it make a sinkhole behind the National Guard Armory? 386 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:12,960 » I guess they're using that for reference. The closest street that Cuz I 387 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:15,120 don't that's what I'm I'm just guessing. >> Yeah. 388 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,919 » Fourth Street would be the closest street. 389 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,519 » Okay. >> All right. It's just odd [clears throat] 390 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:29,360 as those addresses on the work orders and 391 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:34,559 » either which way the water flows. >> But it was a it was a big 392 00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:39,279 » it was a big culvert. It's 48 in. I >> I did see some and then before I got 393 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:43,200 down there there was photos and everything that was taken. We saw the 394 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:46,320 photos and it was in some previous agendas 395 00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:50,559 » uh that we saw the photos in last agenda. So, you never really saw 396 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:53,760 anything at the West Street address, son? 397 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,559 » I I don't know. I don't know them streets that well. 398 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,919 » I'm just going to tell you. I can look and say there was a hole in the ground 399 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,320 and there was a covert being replaced and people working on it 400 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,120 » and it was all right there at the armory. 401 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:10,240 » Yes. Behind the armor inaccurate descriptions on his work orders. It 402 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:17,720 » It probably does. I'll have to ask about that situation. But let me 403 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,720 ask about streets. 404 00:33:18,159 --> 00:33:26,440 Okay. Thank you, Miss Crocetti. Anyone else that's come before, state your name 405 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,440 and address for the record. 406 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:36,320 John McN 202 Derby. Um, just trying to wrap my head around what caused this 407 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:40,640 emergency. Is is it a possibility that this is a culprit that may have 408 00:33:37,679 --> 00:33:45,200 collapsed or is this one that uh due to excessive flooding may have popped up 409 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:48,320 out of the ground or what exactly was the nature of this? 410 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,720 » It was collapsed. I >> was told it would it collapsed. 411 00:33:50,159 --> 00:33:55,760 » It collapsed. Okay. Is there any possibility 412 00:33:53,360 --> 00:34:01,039 » breakage on infrastructure under and it flooded down and it caused behind the 413 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:07,120 armory [clears throat] to actually um collapse and break into to go down. 414 00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:11,440 » Okay. So this is a this is a subset of of drainage infrastructure that 415 00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:16,320 collapsed um and that's what led to the to the sink. Is there a possibility that 416 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:22,960 the mill trucks going up and down that road consistently led possibly led to 417 00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:29,040 the rapid deterioration of this The reason is we we previously this year 418 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,760 on the IT application >> and my concerns are if the 419 00:34:30,399 --> 00:34:35,280 infrastructure is going to start costing us significant money 420 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:41,720 » they need to call need to re-evaluate those IT applications moving forward. 421 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,720 » Thank you John. 422 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:50,560 » Okay 641 St. Augustine Street. Is this the 423 00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:55,200 same one that you guys requested the emergency funding for? You said that the 424 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:58,400 work had already been done and that you was going to get back to us on the 425 00:34:56,720 --> 00:35:00,240 numbers. >> Yes. 426 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:06,440 » Do we have that? >> Yes, ma'am. 427 00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:06,440 » It's in the packet. It's $46,054. 428 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:17,040 » Thank you. You're welcome. >> Anyone else from the public? That'd be 429 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:24,160 all our closed public discussion at this time. Council discussion. 430 00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:29,200 » I have a discussion. I would just like to point out for the record that I feel 431 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:33,680 disappointed. Uh the last time the public asked you 432 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:38,160 all questions when you voted on the emergency ordinance. You all stated that 433 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:44,079 you would study up on it and have answers. And so far they're a public is 434 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:49,040 asking simple questions while we're giving vague answers or descriptive 435 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:52,640 answers. Oh, it was a big sinkhole. My main concern is half of the city 436 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:57,760 believes that public works fits this issue. Mr. Teddy Drummond put a sign on 437 00:35:55,839 --> 00:36:03,760 Willis Avenue that says, "Thank you to public works for fixing this issue." 438 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:08,320 the the public works plumbers have privately told residents that they fixed 439 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:13,680 the issue, but we had a contractor and now Miss 440 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:18,640 Corsier has brought up some invoicing concerns. Nobody on the council has 441 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:23,520 answers for it and Mr. Irvin with all due respect to telling Miss Corset, "Oh, 442 00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:28,960 you know, I I didn't I didn't look at it that way. Had we brought you all a 443 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:33,920 contract for 46,000, you all would have caught that discrepancy. 444 00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:37,599 So, I believe that as I started, I'm I'm disappointed because I feel like you all 445 00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:41,599 should have more answers. The fiscal administrator is receptive to you all. 446 00:36:39,839 --> 00:36:45,680 He communicates with you all. You all have inside knowledge. His last report 447 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:52,760 said that he speaks to this case on a near daily basis. So, I would expect you 448 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,760 all to have more answers. 449 00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:57,400 That's not 450 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:07,440 uh I do >> I do wait a second. I want to reply to 451 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:12,000 that because first off that sign that has thank you public works is for 452 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:16,800 something totally different. Has nothing to do with the council. It was done by a 453 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:22,480 private individual that has nothing to do with that work that was done up the 454 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:26,079 hill behind the armory. And we were invited and told that day that the work 455 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:30,480 was starting. >> So we we were aware of it. And then we 456 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,920 were quoted. I said, "How much is this going to cost us? Shouldn't be over 457 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:39,599 $50,000." I said, "Okay." So, it was treated by 458 00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:46,640 emergency as per charter, city charter, and we did go to the uh uh we did go to 459 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:49,920 the fiscal administrator or the fiscal administrator was already aware of it by 460 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:54,880 the time we got around to it, but we were aware in real time about the about 461 00:37:52,800 --> 00:38:02,400 the situation. So, I I don't there's nothing else can 462 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:08,160 be said. a huge drain line, a water cover, the best way to explain it, was 463 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:14,079 damaged. That was a main service for the rest of the upper upper 464 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:18,720 parts of the city, including the stadium and Baloosa High School and all. It had 465 00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:24,880 to be tended to. Um, for verification, the sign that says 466 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:29,839 public works, that is a drainage that the city has that when those chip trucks 467 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:33,200 come through there, the chips fall in there and people were questioning about 468 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:38,240 it flooding. >> So, the city told it works fix that. 469 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:43,520 That had nothing to do with the emergency 470 00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:48,480 of all of all the 26 sinkhole. When this happened, Mr. Don Jones had the 471 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:53,200 authority to go ahead and do this. Then he gave us what had happened 472 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:58,640 because it was an emergency. So therefore he had to work to get it done. 473 00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:03,760 Him and the physical administrator then he told us. So when you see that that's 474 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:10,079 how much it cost 460 5473. 475 00:39:06,079 --> 00:39:13,200 So they like I said that was Mr. Don Jones. It had nothing to do with the 476 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:17,119 physical. And then 477 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:22,960 » and also that's all it's already in place for emergency. Grady Crawford 478 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:28,640 prescription is a company that's already in place for the city of Balooa for when 479 00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:33,119 emergencies do happen or derive they're in place to come in and take care of 480 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:38,000 this situation before the matter gets even worse. 481 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:42,880 So, um, does anyone feel that we're not asking or answering the questions 482 00:39:41,359 --> 00:39:51,960 correctly? >> Okay, thank thank you. Uh, my 483 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,960 » I'm sorry. 484 00:39:54,640 --> 00:40:02,000 » Our public discussion would be almost prove my point. You had 485 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:07,440 more answers about a sign than you did about what Miss Cortevi asked you about. 486 00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:12,640 She asked you very specific but elementary level questions and you all 487 00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:17,599 couldn't answer. Everybody's quiet but you can aha assign. Focus on the real 488 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:22,160 issue here. The invoice. We're talking about an invoice. Get answers for the 489 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:25,680 invoices. If if Miss Cor said you would like, I'll ask her questions again and 490 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,359 maybe you can we'll give you a second chance to answer them. because you're 491 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:33,960 saying you're answering questions, but you all do not answer our questions. 492 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:42,560 » In the packet that we have, it tells you everything you need to know. The 493 00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:48,720 Bogalista City hereby officially raises everything. Section 1, 2, 3, and four. 494 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:55,599 There's your answers right there. And then over here on the next page, it 495 00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:59,839 tells you how much we paid them. I don't know what else we could do for 496 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:06,520 Mr. That's not in your packet. That's not in your hand. 497 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:06,520 » And let me concern that the work order. 498 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:17,680 » One of my concerns as having 30 years experience in 499 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:22,960 accounts payable. Um I was diligent to make sure that invoices reflected the 500 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:27,920 actual work that was done. Mhm. >> The addresses that are on the work 501 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:33,200 orders have absolutely nothing to do with where the work was done. 502 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:37,200 » This could be somebody's mama's house. I don't know. 503 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:40,200 » There isn't. 504 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:48,960 » Well, that's um that's why you watch and see those kind 505 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:53,359 of things. But the addresses that are on the work hardest don't have anything to 506 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:58,880 do with the work y'all are saying was done behind the National Guard arm. 507 00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:03,760 Okay. Well, let me clear something up. Our job is to legislate. 508 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:08,240 These people give us this and tell us this is what they do. They give us the 509 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:13,359 information and we either pass it or we don't. If 510 00:42:11,359 --> 00:42:19,280 you need a question about an address, Mr. John Jones will help you. If you 511 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:22,599 have anything about the money, make sure you all 512 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:33,760 » Okay. Okay. And the last thing it is going to be 513 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:38,240 anytime any name and address 764 Richardson Road. 514 00:42:35,359 --> 00:42:42,720 » Next time we have emergency calls out, we want pictures of the problem. 515 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:47,200 » We do.
