justice 9 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:07,879 and at this time 10 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,960 and here i would like to address um sorry 11 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,799 i had the partners of progress give me a call which is an organization we're 12 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:31,840 going to do the main street program called to let me know that 13 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,520 they're going to pull out the grant they don't have confidence in their city 14 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,880 council to be able to proceed so they want to head out austin so they've known 15 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,119 to pull it out and that maybe they'll try 16 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:45,799 um 17 00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:02,000 actually what i'm doing is i'm asking for status report 18 00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:02,000 our attorneys are not president 19 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,520 i um 20 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,959 who was rather emphatic about the situation and rather 21 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,080 upset about the actions that are taking place 22 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,599 regarding the law that we 23 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,599 wanted to 24 00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:40,480 apparently um i didn't know who she was when she came 25 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,480 to see me i realized who she was 26 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:48,720 uh her story is it and i told her that i'm afraid for the 27 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,720 attention of the council and unfortunately 28 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,720 it was table due to the fact that the island had not been advertised 29 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,319 again we've not followed the secret 30 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,360 so the island's taken 31 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,760 it wasn't table because it was an adder tag it was table 32 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,920 because we wanted to go out and look at the lot as we've done before with 33 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:46,120 another box we wanted to see what property we were selling 34 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,760 somebody raised the question of whether they had advertised it or not and the 35 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,400 answer was no so the end in it and you may be you may 36 00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:07,200 be correct that and i'm not correct too because 37 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:11,760 that was one of the reasons i don't recall 38 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,000 what you're saying but then again i don't care 39 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:34,160 okay there was nothing done until august the 13th apparently this our august 40 00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:39,199 eight i have a copy of the public notice here where they 41 00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:43,600 a lot is being advertised for sale 42 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:50,639 now the problem here as i see it 43 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:56,720 is that when we discussed it on june 11 the bed was made public 44 00:04:52,720 --> 00:05:01,120 the 500 bed was made public so 45 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:06,720 as a result has been tabled it was publicized on august the 8th 46 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,000 2013. on august 13th 47 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,840 why we didn't act on it but we did not act on it 48 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,840 so 49 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:36,560 there seems to be no it doesn't seem to be there is quite a bit of confusion 50 00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:40,320 regarding this thought so maybe we should ask our attorney how we should 51 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:45,000 proceed with this uh seeing how we have two bids 52 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,639 for 500 but the process 53 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,639 has been compromised 54 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,720 okay she's been in limbo for about three to four months now 55 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:37,039 she did the right procedure now what happened what happened is mr 56 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,720 garcia took in a bid after the friday deadline 57 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:49,479 after the he was he wanted all the paperwork 58 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,479 anything on the tinder we put on 59 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:56,400 before he publishes the agenda correct 60 00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:00,319 she had done that now the next bidder 61 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:06,080 put in his bid after fed 62 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:10,960 he put it on a monday at 9 05 and we're still we're still 63 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:15,680 thinking uh mr suffered for 64 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:20,639 somebody else's mistakes okay 65 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:26,000 during that meeting i have a good idea when did this second vidcon 66 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:30,199 and he said today well irrespective of whether it was monday or june 67 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:53,479 when previously we've sold several properties with other individuals 68 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:53,479 for less than five hundred dollars 69 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,360 uh 70 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,200 um 71 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:56,560 he did do a lot for us it's just the fact that i couldn't 72 00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:00,000 access this fixed year 73 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,959 but i do want to thank him for his efforts 74 00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:03,959 um 75 00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:47,880 it is now 6 10 um 76 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,320 beautiful 77 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,600 this is 78 00:10:42,079 --> 00:10:47,079 it is now 7 24 and today is 79 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,360 department of the city 80 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,839 i'd like a motion to authorize police department 81 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,480 is 82 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,440 that's my big 83 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,800 yes 84 00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:29,120 let me rephrase that the financial statement that we have received 85 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,040 is at least nine months 86 00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:38,639 after the fact the last thing we got we did i think 87 00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:43,600 november of 2012 my math is correct since about eight or 88 00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:49,360 months eight or nine months ago that does not give us a true picture of 89 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:52,720 where we stand financially at this point we don't know 90 00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:26,240 the individual it's not about the individual it's about the hiring process 91 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,360 i have nothing to do with the individual as long as you deal with following the 92 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,480 things that follow our coordinates 93 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:39,199 if we fall into the habit of violating our old ordinances and coming back and 94 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:43,760 reaffirming them i think we're in trouble 95 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,760 but based on those facts 96 00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:52,399 i agree on a temporary basis i did ask the ladies at the office to give me some 97 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:57,279 figures as far as 98 00:13:53,920 --> 00:14:02,160 the expenses on the cheap the department and then it was very hard for them to 99 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:07,279 come up with anything but what i did see kind of worried me uh 100 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:13,839 it's going to be very tight so yes one temporary basis 101 00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:20,160 you know i respect the decision but 102 00:14:14,839 --> 00:14:24,880 um it all depends again on our finances i think everybody here remembers mr 103 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:31,480 garcia stated we were paying attention to paycheck so uh it is a concern for 104 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,480 his finances 105 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,839 yes 106 00:15:10,839 --> 00:15:15,000 there um 107 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,720 uh 108 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,440 is 109 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,680 supposedly 110 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:48,759 discussion possible action to admit

00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,480 i 136 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,799 that's not 137 00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:18,360 um 138 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,880 and i'm just wondering whether we need to continue in water 139 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,799 i would support an even tighter 140 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:48,960 moratorium on any further film than water 141 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,960 maybe uh the last time i 142 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000 um 143 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,840 um 144 00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:31,640 the accuracy of these tests 145 00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:44,880 is there any possibility by some act of nature 146 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,880 you know and nature's 147 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,159 the city water wheel let's check 148 00:22:19,159 --> 00:22:23,960 baby the the water 149 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:08,799 are they being read correctly i 150 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:13,200 we should have i noticed uh what 151 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:18,159 money was shown to us for us on the blackbeard and i believe there should be 152 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,480 a lot more and i'm not saying or anything anyone updating anything i'm 153 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,480 saying 154 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:42,799 you know i can see from my experience you know i know the mistakes can be made 155 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:48,400 but but it's easy to to fix those mistakes so i i don't know 156 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,960 if we're gonna go the entire year making the same 157 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,039 the 158 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:22,159 i believe louise is being used and maybe the track field 159 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,640 i am 160 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:52,000 is um if i remember correctly when david 161 00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:58,000 was alive david was the one that read them so i'm assuming now it's joe kelly 162 00:24:55,279 --> 00:25:01,440 but i i could be corrected mike would you happen to know it'd be 163 00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:06,799 whoever gets the work order if joe does it himself or because it's somebody else 164 00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:06,799 to do it just about if it's a work order 165 00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:21,120 unless we have a contract with someone i don't know we have a fiscal contract 166 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:23,600 with the key west we have 167 00:25:21,919 --> 00:25:27,360 account if we don't have a contract with that we can stop but if we have a 168 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,240 contract with someone we need to obligate that contract 169 00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:34,960 but at the same on the same hand we need to 170 00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:39,120 have a place where those meters are read properly i think 171 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:43,039 uh that's getting energy said it was step 340 172 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,039 and 173 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,120 hasn't 174 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,640 okay 175 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,960 11 o'clock 176 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:11,760 they would have access to the to the water meter 24 7. who was reporting the 177 00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:15,520 number we would just go and get the numbers at the beginning 178 00:27:13,679 --> 00:27:21,039 let's say we open today we'll get the numbers today and then on 179 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,039 the 15th of the month 180 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,200 right and that's how we determined 181 00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:48,880 we don't have an automatic system 182 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,600 okay 183 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:22,960 the uh the type of leaders you have next mechanical meters that with time can 184 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:28,640 slow down it gets stuck and whatnot so if you go in with the latest technology 185 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,640 you know 186 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:37,279 we use that right over there there is money and some 187 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:39,840 possibilities as far as how you meet how often 188 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,840 a guy has uh 189 00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:51,120 a couple years 190 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,480 in the city 191 00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:16,080 so you really want to monitor an industrial account you can only take it 192 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,760 to those accounts and so you don't have to make spend 193 00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:25,799 millions of dollars a hundred thousand dollars 194 00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:25,799 for the entire
