362
00:13:16,278 --> 00:13:17,211
I

363
00:13:17,211 --> 00:13:17,912
m Tom Lambo. I

364
00:13:17,912 --> 00:13:19,214
m here to lift

365
00:13:19,214 --> 00:13:20,715

366
00:13:20,715 --> 00:13:22,116
prayer. So please join me in

367
00:13:22,116 --> 00:13:23,351
prayer. Heavenly father, in

368
00:13:23,351 --> 00:13:24,519
Jesus name, we ask you to be

369
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:26,287
with us here tonight and every

370
00:13:26,287 --> 00:13:27,522
day in Brighton. You are GOD,

371
00:13:27,522 --> 00:13:28,590
the creator of all things, and

372
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:31,590
there is nothing greater than

373
00:13:32,293 --> 00:13:34,429
you. Deuteronomy 435 states to

374
00:13:34,429 --> 00:13:36,640
you it was shown that you might

375
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,866
know that the Lord is GOD.

376
00:13:37,866 --> 00:13:39,768
There is no other besides him.

377
00:13:39,768 --> 00:13:41,169
Let us find comfort in you, and

378
00:13:41,169 --> 00:13:42,637
help us not to fear the

379
00:13:42,637 --> 00:13:44,105
situations around us.

380
00:13:44,105 --> 00:13:46,700
Everything is changing. What

381
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:47,609
can cause us to feel unstable?

382
00:13:47,609 --> 00:13:49,430
We can rest in knowing there is

383
00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:50,679
nothing greater than you, and

384
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,480
you have all situations under

385
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,516
control. The summer is moving

386
00:13:54,516 --> 00:13:55,917

387
00:13:55,917 --> 00:13:57,553

00:13:57,553 --> 00:13:58,654

390
00:14:00,622 --> 00:14:02,190

392
00:14:03,525 --> 00:14:05,294
back to school shortly after

393
00:14:05,294 --> 00:14:07,496
that. Families will go through

394
00:14:07,496 --> 00:14:08,930
another adjustment. Children.

395
00:14:08,930 --> 00:14:10,866
Children will face new

396
00:14:10,866 --> 00:14:12,101
situations. For some, it will

397
00:14:12,101 --> 00:14:13,401
be their very first day of

398
00:14:13,401 --> 00:14:15,104
school, while others will start

399
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:16,572
counting down their last year.

400
00:14:16,572 --> 00:14:18,440
A lot of change, a lot of

401
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,674
adjustments. So we lift up to

402
00:14:19,674 --> 00:14:21,343
you all those who will be

403
00:14:21,343 --> 00:14:22,945
affected by this new beginning.

404
00:14:22,945 --> 00:14:24,480
The unknown is before them and

405
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,382
you have a word to cover them.

406
00:14:27,382 --> 00:14:29,184
Isaiah 4318 through 19 states,

407
00:14:29,184 --> 00:14:31,530
forget the former things. Do

408
00:14:31,530 --> 00:14:31,286
not dwell on the past. See, I

409
00:14:31,286 --> 00:14:33,550
m

410
00:14:33,550 --> 00:14:33,789
doing a new thing now. It

411
00:14:33,789 --> 00:14:35,423
s now

412
00:14:35,423 --> 00:14:37,193
it springs up. Do you not

413
00:14:37,193 --> 00:14:39,561
perceive it? I am making a way

414
00:14:39,561 --> 00:14:41,997
in the wilderness and streams

415
00:14:41,997 --> 00:14:43,265
in the west, in the wastelands.

416
00:14:43,265 --> 00:14:45,401
You are GOD, and nothing is

417
00:14:45,401 --> 00:14:47,690
beyond your control. Be with

418
00:14:47,690 --> 00:14:48,904
those that are making these

419
00:14:48,904 --> 00:14:50,205
adjustments. Help them to find

420
00:14:50,205 --> 00:14:51,740
peace in you. Watch over

421
00:14:51,740 --> 00:14:53,876
everyone and make a path for

422
00:14:53,876 --> 00:14:56,440
them to travel on as they begin

423
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,512
this new journey. We lift up

424
00:14:57,512 --> 00:14:59,915
all those that are serving in

425
00:14:59,915 --> 00:15:01,650
our military. All who serve

426
00:15:01,650 --> 00:15:02,851
need your protection. Guide the

427
00:15:02,851 --> 00:15:04,120
individuals who are making

428
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,754
decisions that impact their

429
00:15:05,754 --> 00:15:07,155
lives. Give them clear

430
00:15:07,155 --> 00:15:09,424
understanding of the dangers

431
00:15:09,424 --> 00:15:11,193
they are asking our military to

432
00:15:11,193 --> 00:15:12,394
enter into. Some who are

433
00:15:12,394 --> 00:15:13,962
serving will be sent on

434
00:15:13,962 --> 00:15:16,365
missions to free those that

435
00:15:16,365 --> 00:15:18,133
cannot help themselves. They

436
00:15:18,133 --> 00:15:19,268
have a special purpose. Remind

437
00:15:19,268 --> 00:15:21,737
them of their purpose with

438
00:15:21,737 --> 00:15:23,405
Psalm 824, which states, rescue

439
00:15:23,405 --> 00:15:24,406
the weak and the needy. Deliver

440
00:15:24,406 --> 00:15:26,308
them from the hand of the

441
00:15:26,308 --> 00:15:27,843
wicked. Keep them safe and

442
00:15:27,843 --> 00:15:29,244
mentally sharp. Guide their

443
00:15:29,244 --> 00:15:31,644
actions, and bring everyone

444
00:15:31,647 --> 00:15:33,810
home safely. You are our GOD

445
00:15:33,810 --> 00:15:35,952
and we are your people. In

446
00:15:35,952 --> 00:15:37,850
Jesus name we pray. Amen. Thank

447
00:15:37,850 --> 00:15:39,989
you guys. Have a nice night.

448
00:15:39,989 --> 00:15:42,925
Thank you. Tom. Next is Todd

449
00:15:42,925 --> 00:15:44,930
Crumbly. Come on over. Todd,

450
00:15:44,930 --> 00:15:47,930
state your name. For the

451
00:15:47,897 --> 00:15:49,766
record. You got three minutes.

452
00:15:49,766 --> 00:15:51,534
Hi. My name is Todd Quimby. I

453
00:15:51,534 --> 00:15:52,935
own two businesses here in

454
00:15:52,935 --> 00:15:54,837
Brighton. Uh, Brighton crossing

455
00:15:54,837 --> 00:15:56,272
Liquors on 50th and Bridge and

456
00:15:56,272 --> 00:15:58,641
Brighton Highway seven that I

457
00:15:58,641 --> 00:15:58,775
bought about two years ago. Um,

458
00:15:58,775 --> 00:16:00,342
I

459
00:16:00,342 --> 00:16:03,212
ve been having some. My water

460
00:16:03,212 --> 00:16:03,479
bill is, like, extremely high.

461
00:16:03,479 --> 00:16:04,614
And I

462
00:16:04,614 --> 00:16:05,748
ve talked to the water

463
00:16:05,748 --> 00:16:07,283
people here in Brighton, and

464
00:16:07,283 --> 00:16:08,885
nobody seems to want to be able

465
00:16:08,885 --> 00:16:12,485
to do anything like my water

466
00:16:14,657 --> 00:16:15,858
bill for this month is $652. I

467
00:16:15,858 --> 00:16:17,326
have an ice maker. I have a

468
00:16:17,326 --> 00:16:18,270
toilet and a mop, sink and a

469
00:16:18,270 --> 00:16:18,727
sink. There

470
00:16:18,727 --> 00:16:20,229
s no grass or

471
00:16:20,229 --> 00:16:21,430
anything. Uh, what I understand

472
00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:23,666
is the building was built in

473
00:16:23,666 --> 00:16:25,535
1961, roughly, and it was

474
00:16:25,535 --> 00:16:27,170
laundromat. Then years later,

475
00:16:27,170 --> 00:16:28,437
it went half laundromat, half

476
00:16:28,437 --> 00:16:28,804
liquor store. And it

477
00:16:28,804 --> 00:16:30,606
s been the

478
00:16:30,606 --> 00:16:33,342
liquor store for the last 35

479
00:16:33,342 --> 00:16:34,900
rough years. Um, I

480
00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:36,900
ve asked

481
00:16:36,479 --> 00:16:36,746
this, this city water person,

482
00:16:36,746 --> 00:16:38,480
if there

483
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,149
s some way I can get a

484
00:16:39,149 --> 00:16:40,283
variance to choke the line

485
00:16:40,283 --> 00:16:41,617
down, because I would

486
00:16:41,617 --> 00:16:42,852
understand is when it was the

487
00:16:42,852 --> 00:16:44,860
laundromat, they have a two

488
00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:46,155
inch line coming from the

489
00:16:46,155 --> 00:16:47,957
street. And he said, the only

490
00:16:47,957 --> 00:16:49,859
way I can do that. So if I turn

491
00:16:49,859 --> 00:16:51,394
my parking lot up and put a

492
00:16:51,394 --> 00:16:52,529
whole new line in, tear the

493
00:16:52,529 --> 00:16:53,896
meter or tear the stuff out of

494
00:16:53,896 --> 00:16:54,330
the street, and that

495
00:16:54,330 --> 00:16:56,330
s going to

496
00:16:57,834 --> 00:16:58,367
be 10 to $15,000. So I

497
00:16:58,367 --> 00:16:58,501
m I

498
00:16:58,501 --> 00:17:00,501
ve

499
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:02,272
been paying a minimum of $450 a

500
00:17:02,272 --> 00:17:02,438
month in water. So i

501
00:17:02,438 --> 00:17:03,973
m

502
00:17:03,973 --> 00:17:05,608
wondering, is there any way I

503
00:17:05,608 --> 00:17:07,611
can get a variance or who can I

504
00:17:07,611 --> 00:17:08,712
talk to to maybe rectify this?

505
00:17:08,712 --> 00:17:08,845
Because I honestly, I feel like

506
00:17:08,845 --> 00:17:10,845
I

507
00:17:13,649 --> 00:17:13,817
m getting ripped off. That

508
00:17:13,817 --> 00:17:15,385
s

509
00:17:15,385 --> 00:17:17,385
my speech.

510
00:17:18,822 --> 00:17:19,756
All right. Todd. Thank you. Um,

511
00:17:19,756 --> 00:17:22,920
you know, this is something

512
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:23,627
that the obviously staff will

513
00:17:23,627 --> 00:17:23,826
have to address. I know you

514
00:17:23,826 --> 00:17:25,462
ve

515
00:17:25,462 --> 00:17:27,731
come up to me about this in the

516
00:17:27,731 --> 00:17:27,897
past, and, um, you know, I

517
00:17:27,897 --> 00:17:29,599
don

518
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:30,670
t have the right answer for

519
00:17:30,670 --> 00:17:30,300
you right now.

520
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:31,267
I don

521
00:17:31,267 --> 00:17:32,569
t expect an answer right

522
00:17:32,569 --> 00:17:34,237
now, but if we could look into

523
00:17:34,237 --> 00:17:35,171
that, I would really appreciate

524
00:17:35,171 --> 00:17:36,339
it. Okay.

525
00:17:36,339 --> 00:17:39,339
Thank you for bringing that

526
00:17:40,844 --> 00:17:42,145
back up. Thank you. That is all

527
00:17:42,145 --> 00:17:43,847
I have signed up to speak on

528
00:17:43,847 --> 00:17:45,716
items, none on the agenda. And

529
00:17:45,716 --> 00:17:46,916
like I said, those that have

530
00:17:46,916 --> 00:17:48,184
signed up to speak on an item

531
00:17:48,184 --> 00:17:49,219
coming up on the agenda will

532
00:17:49,219 --> 00:17:52,819
call you up when that time

533
00:17:54,157 --> 00:17:57,157
allows. All right. Next. Hold

534
00:17:58,662 --> 00:17:59,896

535
00:17:59,896 --> 00:18:01,398

00:19:18,509 --> 00:19:20,909
all property within Prairie

583
00:19:21,745 --> 00:19:24,145
Center Village, one subdivision.

584
00:19:25,150 --> 00:19:26,116
To provide some background, the

585
00:19:26,116 --> 00:19:29,860
original service plan for the

586
00:19:29,860 --> 00:19:31,155
district was approved in 2006.

587
00:19:31,155 --> 00:19:32,523
In 2008, there was an amendment

588
00:19:32,523 --> 00:19:33,357
to the service plan increasing

589
00:19:33,357 --> 00:19:34,959
the cost of public

590
00:19:34,959 --> 00:19:36,694
improvements. Currently, the

591
00:19:36,694 --> 00:19:38,296
district has two outstanding

592
00:19:38,296 --> 00:19:40,798
general obligation bonds with a

593
00:19:40,798 --> 00:19:43,134
final maturity of 2045 and

594
00:19:43,134 --> 00:19:44,568
2046, and in accordance with

595
00:19:44,568 --> 00:19:45,837
the approved Service plan, any

596
00:19:45,837 --> 00:19:47,305
modifications to the service

597
00:19:47,305 --> 00:19:50,305
plan require approval from the

598
00:19:51,141 --> 00:19:52,343
City Council. With this Second

599
00:19:52,343 --> 00:19:53,978
Amendment to the service plan,

600
00:19:53,978 --> 00:19:56,314
the district is seeking to

601
00:19:56,314 --> 00:19:58,216
refund the existing bonds,

602
00:19:58,216 --> 00:20:00,418
change the bond maturity limits

603
00:20:00,418 --> 00:20:01,520
from 25 years to 30 years to

604
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:01,652
align with the city

605
00:20:01,652 --> 00:20:03,421
s model

606
00:20:03,421 --> 00:20:05,657
service plan and lower annual

607
00:20:05,657 --> 00:20:07,125
debt service. Mill levies

608
00:20:07,125 --> 00:20:08,593
remove the restriction

609
00:20:08,593 --> 00:20:10,728
prohibiting issuance of new

610
00:20:10,728 --> 00:20:13,300
money debt after DECEMBER 1st,

611
00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:14,365
2025, and replace that

612
00:20:14,365 --> 00:20:15,733
restriction with the rule

613
00:20:15,733 --> 00:20:17,935
limiting the debt service mill

614
00:20:17,935 --> 00:20:18,102
levy to no more than 40 years.

615
00:20:18,102 --> 00:20:19,704
We

616
00:20:19,704 --> 00:20:21,339
ll also preserve flexibility

617
00:20:21,339 --> 00:20:22,740
for future financing by

618
00:20:22,740 --> 00:20:23,942
allowing additional new money

619
00:20:23,942 --> 00:20:26,942
debt with approval from the

620
00:20:27,770 --> 00:20:28,446
district board. By extending

621
00:20:28,446 --> 00:20:29,780
the repair the repayment

622
00:20:29,780 --> 00:20:32,780
period, this would reduce the

623
00:20:34,886 --> 00:20:37,886
debt service mill levy from

624
00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:41,590
63.495 to 39.617 starting in

625
00:20:42,327 --> 00:20:43,194
2027. Collections. At this

626
00:20:43,194 --> 00:20:44,629
time, the options for

627
00:20:44,629 --> 00:20:46,310
consideration are before you on

00:21:23,401 --> 00:21:24,836
to modify the bond debt for

00:21:43,855 --> 00:21:45,190
m not an expert in

665
00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:45,390
this field by any means. I

666
00:21:45,390 --> 00:21:46,858
m

667
00:21:46,858 --> 00:21:47,525
just a volunteer and I

m a

669
00:21:48,594 --> 00:21:49,227
homeowner. But we

670
00:21:49,227 --> 00:21:50,796
re fortunate

671
00:21:50,796 --> 00:21:52,598
to have experts here with us,

672
00:21:52,598 --> 00:21:52,764
uh, including Kathy Conda,

673
00:21:52,764 --> 00:21:54,764
who

674
00:21:54,934 --> 00:21:56,501
s with McGeady, Beacher,

675
00:21:56,501 --> 00:21:58,200

678
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:02,500
s

679
00:22:02,307 --> 00:22:04,442
a director with D.A. Davidson.

680
00:22:04,442 --> 00:22:08,420
This amendment will give us the

681
00:22:08,790 --> 00:22:09,882
option to extend our refi to 30

682
00:22:09,882 --> 00:22:12,170
years so we can explore as many

683
00:22:12,170 --> 00:22:14,186
possibilities as possible to

684
00:22:14,186 --> 00:22:16,586
maximize the property tax

685
00:22:20,592 --> 00:22:23,592
reduction for the residents. As

686
00:22:24,629 --> 00:22:27,900
I said, just a very brief, um,

687
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:30,200
set of slides here where a 100%

688
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,570
district board comprised of

689
00:22:31,570 --> 00:22:33,538
residents, uh, we have five

690
00:22:33,538 --> 00:22:35,407
board members. Currently, the

691
00:22:35,407 --> 00:22:37,576
metro district portion of the

692
00:22:37,576 --> 00:22:39,712
resident property taxes is

693
00:22:39,712 --> 00:22:41,580
approximately 40% of our total

694
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:43,382
tax bill. Um, due to our

695
00:22:43,382 --> 00:22:45,484
maximum mill levy that we have

696
00:22:45,484 --> 00:22:48,387
to pay based on how the bonds

697
00:22:48,387 --> 00:22:50,787
are structured currently, in

698
00:22:52,570 --> 00:22:54,360
addition to taking care of of

699
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:56,195
the statutory compliances, we

700
00:22:56,195 --> 00:22:57,463
also performed the hoa

701
00:22:57,463 --> 00:22:58,497
functions, including operations

702
00:22:58,497 --> 00:22:59,732
of maintenance of the public,

703
00:22:59,732 --> 00:23:01,330
improvements including the

704
00:23:01,330 --> 00:23:01,200
common area, landscaping. If

705
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,340
you

706
00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:03,350
ve been by the community,

707
00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:05,104
you know we have a tremendous

708
00:23:05,104 --> 00:23:06,939
amount of landscaping there and

709
00:23:06,939 --> 00:23:08,407
snow removal, the entry

710
00:23:08,407 --> 00:23:10,342
monuments, the lighting, the

711
00:23:10,342 --> 00:23:11,777
under drainage system, as well

712
00:23:11,777 --> 00:23:13,813
as the design review and

713
00:23:13,813 --> 00:23:14,713
covenant Enforcement district

714
00:23:14,713 --> 00:23:16,149
board takes care of all of

715
00:23:16,149 --> 00:23:17,750
that. So here

716
00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:19,318
s the opportunity

717
00:23:19,318 --> 00:23:19,585
to try to decrease the

718
00:23:19,585 --> 00:23:21,287
district

719
00:23:21,287 --> 00:23:22,588
s property taxes,

720
00:23:22,588 --> 00:23:24,890
where we can refund the

721
00:23:24,890 --> 00:23:27,890
existing bonds from the series

722
00:23:27,994 --> 00:23:29,595
20 and the series 21 bonds. Uh,

723
00:23:29,595 --> 00:23:29,762
and take those to market. We

724
00:23:29,762 --> 00:23:31,762
re

725
00:23:31,930 --> 00:23:33,398
not adding any additional debt.

726
00:23:33,398 --> 00:23:35,201
Uh, no additional debt is being

727
00:23:35,201 --> 00:23:36,835
added or contemplated. Any

728
00:23:36,835 --> 00:23:38,270
additional debt to this

729
00:23:38,270 --> 00:23:40,600
community would require a vote

730
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:40,139
of the residents. So there

731
00:23:40,139 --> 00:23:41,307
s

732
00:23:41,307 --> 00:23:43,109
nothing we can do on our own

733
00:23:43,109 --> 00:23:44,577
anyway. Um, we

734
00:23:44,577 --> 00:23:46,312
ll propose the

735
00:23:46,312 --> 00:23:47,790
refunding plan based on present

736
00:23:47,790 --> 00:23:47,380
market conditions. We

737
00:23:47,380 --> 00:23:48,581
ll go to

738
00:23:48,581 --> 00:23:50,649
the market, take a look, see

739
00:23:50,649 --> 00:23:52,752
what makes the most sense. Um,

740
00:23:52,752 --> 00:23:53,953
and if we can do it this year,

741
00:23:53,953 --> 00:23:56,255
the debt service mill levy can

742
00:23:56,255 --> 00:23:58,924
be reduced from its current

743
00:23:58,924 --> 00:24:01,795
maximum levels. Uh, for the

744
00:24:01,795 --> 00:24:03,863
next tax year, reducing the

745
00:24:03,863 --> 00:24:05,863
property taxes significantly

746
00:24:06,499 --> 00:24:08,670
for our homeowners. We can

747
00:24:08,670 --> 00:24:10,467
substantially reduce the debt

748
00:24:12,772 --> 00:24:15,172
service by approximately 750 to

749
00:24:15,842 --> 00:24:17,900
$950 per home per year. If we

750
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:18,411
take this to market the way

751
00:24:18,411 --> 00:24:19,780
that we think we can, it can

752
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:20,179
work. It

753
00:24:20,179 --> 00:24:21,380
ll also minimize the

754
00:24:21,380 --> 00:24:23,249
quarterly operations and

755
00:24:23,249 --> 00:24:25,218
maintenance fee increases. In

756
00:24:25,218 --> 00:24:26,686
addition to the to the the

757
00:24:26,686 --> 00:24:28,821
property tax amount that we

758
00:24:28,821 --> 00:24:31,821
pay, we also pay quarterly

759
00:24:33,159 --> 00:24:34,460
operations fees of $828 a year

760
00:24:34,460 --> 00:24:34,827
per home. And they

761
00:24:34,827 --> 00:24:36,827
re billed

762
00:24:37,797 --> 00:24:40,197
quarterly. And so hopefully

763
00:24:41,668 --> 00:24:43,937
this refi restructure will

764
00:24:43,937 --> 00:24:45,839
allow us to minimize any of

765
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:48,274
those increases as well and

766
00:24:48,274 --> 00:24:50,343
give us some financial

767
00:24:50,343 --> 00:24:51,611
flexibility to maintain and

768
00:24:51,611 --> 00:24:52,712
enhance the public interest

769
00:24:52,712 --> 00:24:54,414
infrastructure in the community

770
00:24:54,414 --> 00:24:57,184
amenities that we have, should

771
00:24:57,184 --> 00:24:58,251
we need additional monies for

772
00:24:58,251 --> 00:24:59,552
something. This gives us a

773
00:24:59,552 --> 00:25:02,552
little bit more flexibility in

774

Okay.

00:28:54,523 --> 00:28:55,570
questions and comments from the

883
00:28:55,570 --> 00:28:55,923

Uh, thank you. Mayor. Yeah. And

887
00:29:03,632 --> 00:29:05,133
this was new to us. So, uh. You

888
00:29:05,133 --> 00:29:06,101
know, I, I am in support of

889
00:29:06,101 --> 00:29:08,770
anything that would lower the

890
00:29:08,770 --> 00:29:09,400
mill levy to residents. I

891
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,400
d

892
00:29:11,506 --> 00:29:13,750
like to hear that, but, uh, one

893
00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:15,376
of my questions is, is how much

894
00:29:15,376 --> 00:29:16,578
of the debt has been paid under

895
00:29:16,578 --> 00:29:16,745
the maximum mill levy that

896
00:29:16,745 --> 00:29:18,745
you

897
00:29:21,850 --> 00:29:23,685
ve been collecting? Any.

898
00:29:23,685 --> 00:29:25,487
Question.

899
00:29:25,487 --> 00:29:27,656
Good evening. Mayor, Council

900
00:29:27,656 --> 00:29:30,492
members Matt Gorski with D.A.

901
00:29:30,492 --> 00:29:33,492
Davidson. Um, the current debt

902
00:29:36,965 --> 00:29:38,333
outstanding. Uh, is about $9

903
00:29:38,333 --> 00:29:40,733
million in the original

904
00:30:00,220 --> 00:30:00,756
principal amount.

905
00:30:00,756 --> 00:30:02,756
I suppose.

906
00:30:06,128 --> 00:30:06,829
That.

907
00:30:06,829 --> 00:30:07,762
Was paid.

908
00:30:07,762 --> 00:30:09,731
Off about.

909
00:30:09,731 --> 00:30:09,932
Yeah. So, as Dave mentioned,

910
00:30:09,932 --> 00:30:11,670
there

911
00:30:11,670 --> 00:30:14,603
s two series of bonds, a

912
00:30:14,603 --> 00:30:16,905
series 2020 and a series 2021,

913
00:30:16,905 --> 00:30:18,307
the and the 2020 bond that was

914
00:30:18,307 --> 00:30:20,242
issued with two term bonds. The

915
00:30:20,242 --> 00:30:21,410
first term bond was paid off or

916
00:30:21,410 --> 00:30:21,610
will be paid off this year.

917
00:30:21,610 --> 00:30:23,545
There

918
00:30:23,545 --> 00:30:25,881
s 30,000 left on that

919
00:30:25,881 --> 00:30:27,917
debt and all the debt on the

920
00:30:27,917 --> 00:30:29,184
series 2021 bonds is currently

921
00:30:29,184 --> 00:30:30,719
outstanding. None of that has

922
00:30:30,719 --> 00:30:30,853
been paid. In fact, there

923
00:30:30,853 --> 00:30:32,853
s

924
00:30:39,428 --> 00:30:40,729
about one point. 1.3 million of

925
00:30:40,729 --> 00:30:42,832
accrued and unpaid interest,

926
00:30:42,832 --> 00:30:44,466
which will continue to accrue

927
00:30:44,466 --> 00:30:46,969
and compound if that debt is

928
00:30:46,969 --> 00:30:47,269
not retired. So they made I

929
00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:47,937
mean, they

930
00:30:47,937 --> 00:30:49,639
ve paid off a

931
00:30:49,639 --> 00:30:49,939
significant amount of the debt,

932
00:30:49,939 --> 00:30:51,540
but they

933
00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:54,540
re still going to be

934
00:30:55,411 --> 00:30:57,411
outstanding. $9 million.

935
00:30:57,980 --> 00:31:00,249
Okay, but what was the total?

936
00:31:00,249 --> 00:31:01,717
Um, the original issuance

937
00:31:01,717 --> 00:31:02,685
versus what? Yes.

938
00:31:02,685 --> 00:31:04,554
Over 16.

939
00:31:04,554 --> 00:31:05,655
Little over 60 million. Okay.

940
00:31:05,655 --> 00:31:05,955
That that was that was the

941
00:31:05,955 --> 00:31:06,689
question I

942
00:31:06,689 --> 00:31:08,230
m getting at here.

943
00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:08,257
So thank you.

944
00:31:08,257 --> 00:31:09,491
I didn

945
00:31:09,491 --> 00:31:11,930
t want to dance around

946
00:31:11,930 --> 00:31:13,196
it. Uh, the other part of it

947
00:31:13,196 --> 00:31:14,530
is, uh, you

948
00:31:14,530 --> 00:31:16,833
re asking for a 30

949
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:20,433
year bond term, but a 40 years

950
00:31:20,503 --> 00:31:22,710
of mill levy. So that that was

951
00:31:22,710 --> 00:31:24,974
the language in the slide

952
00:31:24,974 --> 00:31:26,542

953
00:31:26,542 --> 00:31:28,545
what what that reference.

954
00:31:28,545 --> 00:31:29,646
Is hoping maybe.

00:31:44,794 --> 00:31:47,794
you for hearing this matter.

966
00:31:47,797 --> 00:31:49,833
When we, um, the impetus of

967
00:31:49,833 --> 00:31:52,169
this was to to look at

968
00:31:52,169 --> 00:31:54,137
opportunities to lower the debt

969
00:31:54,137 --> 00:31:55,605
service mill levy because when

970
00:31:55,605 --> 00:31:57,974
the bonds were originally

971
00:31:57,974 --> 00:31:58,574
issued, their cash flow bonds.

972
00:31:58,574 --> 00:31:59,609
So until they

973
00:31:59,609 --> 00:31:59,809
re paid off,

974
00:31:59,809 --> 00:32:01,809
there

975
00:32:02,412 --> 00:32:04,748
s no opportunity to

976
00:32:04,748 --> 00:32:07,116
reduce the, you know, the debt

977
00:32:07,116 --> 00:32:09,152
service mill levy versus

978
00:32:09,152 --> 00:32:12,152
structured bonds that have an

979
00:32:13,230 --> 00:32:13,189
annual amortization, where if

980
00:32:13,189 --> 00:32:14,624
you

981
00:32:14,624 --> 00:32:16,326
re producing more, then you

982
00:32:16,326 --> 00:32:17,593
need to make an annual payment.

983
00:32:17,593 --> 00:32:19,596
You know, that mill levy could

984
00:32:19,596 --> 00:32:21,464
actually go down. So that was

985
00:32:21,464 --> 00:32:24,464
that was the beginning point,

986
00:32:24,568 --> 00:32:27,437
right. The board um, talked to

987
00:32:27,437 --> 00:32:29,272
two different underwriters and

988
00:32:29,272 --> 00:32:32,272
looked at more than one

989
00:32:32,843 --> 00:32:35,243
refunding scenario, including a

990
00:32:35,611 --> 00:32:37,681
25 year term bond, which is

991
00:32:37,681 --> 00:32:40,250
what their current service plan

992
00:32:40,250 --> 00:32:42,180
allows. And realize that with a

993
00:32:42,180 --> 00:32:44,220
30 year term, they could

994
00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:46,523
actually realize a bigger

995
00:32:46,523 --> 00:32:48,892
reduction in their mill levy.

996
00:32:48,892 --> 00:32:52,462
And I think the analogy for

997
00:32:52,462 --> 00:32:54,664
those of us who are not met ski

998
00:32:54,664 --> 00:32:57,201
is think about a home mortgage,

999
00:32:57,201 --> 00:32:59,169
right? The longer your term,

1000
00:32:59,169 --> 00:33:01,838
the lower your monthly payment.

1001
00:33:01,838 --> 00:33:04,700
If you finance with a shorter

1002
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:04,207
term, the payment is bigger.

1003
00:33:04,207 --> 00:33:05,909
That

1004
00:33:05,909 --> 00:33:07,711
s the way that somebody

1005
00:33:07,711 --> 00:33:09,460
like me, who is not really good

1006
00:33:09,460 --> 00:33:11,214
with numbers, sort of

1007
00:33:11,214 --> 00:33:13,614
understood this. Under your

1008
00:33:14,510 --> 00:33:16,687
current model service plan, it

1009
00:33:16,687 --> 00:33:19,687
allows districts to issue bonds

1010
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,250
for terms of 40 years. So our

1011
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:25,250
request to increase the term

1012
00:33:25,996 --> 00:33:26,263
from 25 to 30 is actually less

1013
00:33:26,263 --> 00:33:27,731
than what

1014
00:33:27,731 --> 00:33:29,731
s currently allowed

1015
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:30,200
in the model service plan.

1016
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,200
There

1017
00:33:32,202 --> 00:33:33,504
s also a provision in our

1018
00:33:33,504 --> 00:33:35,438
service plan, because it was

1019
00:33:35,438 --> 00:33:37,374
one of the first ones that was

1020
00:33:37,374 --> 00:33:40,374
approved by Brighton way back

1021
00:33:40,744 --> 00:33:43,744
in 2006. There was there was

1022
00:33:44,147 --> 00:33:47,147
um, the expectation or the

1023
00:33:47,618 --> 00:33:50,180
desire that the entire 2400

1024
00:33:50,530 --> 00:33:51,856
acre. Um, yeah. Prairie Center

1025
00:33:51,856 --> 00:33:54,256
development would be fully

1026
00:33:54,291 --> 00:33:57,940
developed by 2025. And so there

1027
00:33:57,940 --> 00:33:59,296
was a provision in the service

1028
00:33:59,296 --> 00:33:59,530
plan that said districts

1029
00:33:59,530 --> 00:34:01,264
couldn

1030
00:34:01,264 --> 00:34:03,664
t issue any additional

1031
00:34:04,768 --> 00:34:06,570
debt after 2025. Well, that

1032
00:34:06,570 --> 00:34:08,673
ship has sailed. There is an

1033
00:34:08,673 --> 00:34:11,730
exception for refunding, which

1034
00:34:11,242 --> 00:34:12,609
is what we have here. And in

1035
00:34:12,609 --> 00:34:14,945
some of the discussions we

1036
00:34:14,945 --> 00:34:17,347
talked about maybe issuing even

1037
00:34:17,347 --> 00:34:19,216
a little more debt, um, either

1038
00:34:19,216 --> 00:34:21,552
to pay off past developer

1039
00:34:21,552 --> 00:34:22,953
advances or build up a capital

1040
00:34:22,953 --> 00:34:24,789
reserve for additional

1041
00:34:24,789 --> 00:34:26,423
community amenities and that

1042
00:34:26,423 --> 00:34:29,193
sort of thing. And when we

1043
00:34:29,193 --> 00:34:29,393
spoke with, um, city, the

1044
00:34:29,393 --> 00:34:30,995
city

1045
00:34:30,995 --> 00:34:32,995
s consultants, outside

1046
00:34:33,998 --> 00:34:35,499
legal counsel at Butler Snow,

1047
00:34:35,499 --> 00:34:37,268
rather than, you know, we

1048
00:34:37,268 --> 00:34:40,868
started out with, well, do we

1049
00:34:41,305 --> 00:34:42,773
extend from 2025 to 20 20, 30,

1050
00:34:42,773 --> 00:34:44,408
2035, you know, what are we

1051
00:34:44,408 --> 00:34:46,977
going to do here? What makes

1052
00:34:46,977 --> 00:34:49,213
sense? And what we mutually

1053
00:34:49,213 --> 00:34:51,140
agreed upon is in the current

1054
00:34:51,140 --> 00:34:51,616
model service plan, there

1055
00:34:51,616 --> 00:34:53,616
s a

1056
00:34:54,552 --> 00:34:57,188
limitation that says a district

1057
00:34:57,188 --> 00:34:58,923
cannot impose a debt service

1058
00:34:58,923 --> 00:35:00,825
mill levy for more than 40

1059
00:35:00,825 --> 00:35:03,825
years after the first issuance

1060
00:35:05,496 --> 00:35:08,900
of debt without, um, a decision

1061
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:11,635
to extend that term by a

1062
00:35:11,635 --> 00:35:13,405
resident controlled board of

1063
00:35:13,405 --> 00:35:13,604
directors. Because what we

1064
00:35:13,604 --> 00:35:15,604
re

1065
00:35:16,730 --> 00:35:19,730
proposing, if we issue this

1066
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,440
year, which is 20, 26, 30

1067
00:35:24,815 --> 00:35:24,983
years, takes us out to 2056, I

1068
00:35:24,983 --> 00:35:25,983
can

1069
00:35:25,983 --> 00:35:26,250
t do math in my head. I

1070
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:28,250
m

1071
00:35:28,252 --> 00:35:29,821
so sorry. And if you go back to

1072
00:35:29,821 --> 00:35:32,390
when they initially issued in

1073
00:35:32,390 --> 00:35:34,790
2020, we fall within that 40

1074
00:35:36,261 --> 00:35:39,861
year, um, frame. And again, um,

1075
00:35:40,398 --> 00:35:43,998
it, it brings the this district

1076
00:35:44,168 --> 00:35:45,803
service plan in alignment with

1077
00:35:45,803 --> 00:35:47,439
the provisions of the current

1078
00:35:47,439 --> 00:35:50,308
model service plan that was

1079
00:35:50,308 --> 00:35:53,908
adopted, um, in when was that

1080
00:35:56,414 --> 00:35:57,149
adopted in 2021. Did I make

1081
00:35:57,149 --> 00:35:59,149
sense?

1082
00:35:59,284 --> 00:35:59,417
Not exactly. Um.

1083
00:35:59,417 --> 00:36:00,752
I

1084
00:36:00,752 --> 00:36:02,752
m sorry.

1085
00:36:03,922 --> 00:36:05,523
Because it was, uh, structural

1086
00:36:05,523 --> 00:36:06,391
adjust restrictions on new debt

1087
00:36:06,391 --> 00:36:06,758
issuance. But now I

1088
00:36:06,758 --> 00:36:08,693
m hearing

1089
00:36:08,693 --> 00:36:10,228
that you MAY issue new debt and

1090
00:36:10,228 --> 00:36:12,664
then remove the prohibition on

1091
00:36:12,664 --> 00:36:14,832
issuing new money debt after

1092
00:36:14,832 --> 00:36:15,867
DECEMBER 2025, replaced it with

1093
00:36:15,867 --> 00:36:17,101
a rule of limiting the debt

1094
00:36:17,101 --> 00:36:18,837
service mill levy to no more

1095
00:36:18,837 --> 00:36:20,272
than 40 years. So that means

1096
00:36:20,272 --> 00:36:20,572
that if we do this 30 year

1097
00:36:20,572 --> 00:36:21,339
term, you

1098
00:36:21,339 --> 00:36:23,709
d still have another

1099
00:36:23,709 --> 00:36:25,430
ten years, uh, to think about

1100
00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:26,770
issuing new debt, right?

1101
00:36:26,770 --> 00:36:27,578
Just like all the other

1102
00:36:27,578 --> 00:36:28,947
metropolitan districts in the

1103
00:36:28,947 --> 00:36:30,782
city of Brighton right now that

1104
00:36:30,782 --> 00:36:33,551
have been organized since the

1105
00:36:33,551 --> 00:36:36,288
model service plan was put into

1106
00:36:36,288 --> 00:36:39,910
place. So and we have a 100%

1107
00:36:39,910 --> 00:36:40,250
resident control board. And the

1108
00:36:40,250 --> 00:36:42,794
other thing that I want to

1109
00:36:42,794 --> 00:36:46,131
emphasize is no new money debt

1110
00:36:46,131 --> 00:36:48,531
is contemplated. Now. But

1111
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:51,503
because this district does have

1112
00:36:51,503 --> 00:36:52,971
significant public improvement,

1113
00:36:52,971 --> 00:36:54,539
operation and maintenance

1114
00:36:54,539 --> 00:36:54,807
responsibility, we don

1115
00:36:54,807 --> 00:36:56,807
t

1116
00:36:57,242 --> 00:36:59,511
foresee any need in the

1117
00:36:59,511 --> 00:37:00,813
foreseeable future for any new

1118
00:37:00,813 --> 00:37:01,413
money debt. We just don

1119
00:37:01,413 --> 00:37:03,413
t see

1120
00:37:04,550 --> 00:37:05,817
it at all. But in terms of

1121
00:37:05,817 --> 00:37:07,986
coming into compliance with

1122
00:37:07,986 --> 00:37:09,388
your current model and being

1123
00:37:09,388 --> 00:37:12,123
able to do what they need to do

1124
00:37:12,123 --> 00:37:15,260
now, we agreed that that would

1125
00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:17,196
be a logical thing to do.

1126
00:37:17,196 --> 00:37:17,930
Okay, like I said, there

1127
00:37:17,930 --> 00:37:19,798
s that

1128
00:37:19,798 --> 00:37:19,998
now is acting a lot. Yeah,

1129
00:37:19,998 --> 00:37:21,700
there

1130
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:23,168
s nothing now. But, um.

1131
00:37:23,168 --> 00:37:24,570
Well, I mean, but you saw some

1132
00:37:24,570 --> 00:37:24,769
of the comments from residents,

1133
00:37:24,769 --> 00:37:25,937
right.

1134
00:37:25,937 --> 00:37:26,138
Well, I understand that.

1135
00:37:26,138 --> 00:37:28,138
That

1136
00:37:29,141 --> 00:37:31,610
s right. Amenities. Um, as

1137
00:37:31,610 --> 00:37:33,946
was mentioned, the district

1138
00:37:33,946 --> 00:37:36,148
functions like an hoa. So

1139
00:37:36,148 --> 00:37:39,170
rather than turning over things

1140
00:37:39,170 --> 00:37:40,485
like the under drain system,

1141
00:37:40,485 --> 00:37:42,888
which I think is the sort of

1142
00:37:42,888 --> 00:37:43,889
the largest piece of public

1143
00:37:43,889 --> 00:37:45,889
infrastructure that the

1144
00:37:47,193 --> 00:37:48,360
district itself maintains. If

1145
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,861
if you had an earthquake and

1146
00:37:49,861 --> 00:37:50,962
that whole underground system

1147
00:37:50,962 --> 00:37:52,130
went under, you know, they

1148
00:37:52,130 --> 00:37:53,732
might need to go out and get a

1149
00:37:53,732 --> 00:37:54,533
little bank loan, which would

1150
00:37:54,533 --> 00:37:55,267
be debt if they

1151
00:37:55,267 --> 00:37:56,535
re using debt

1152
00:37:56,535 --> 00:37:56,702
service levy to pay for it. But

1153
00:37:56,702 --> 00:37:57,402
we

1154
00:37:57,402 --> 00:37:57,570
re not seeing, you know,

1155
00:37:57,570 --> 00:37:59,380
we

1156
00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:01,438
re not anticipating that

1157
00:38:01,707 --> 00:38:04,243
now. It was just that when we

1158
00:38:04,243 --> 00:38:06,643
had the conversation about

1159
00:38:06,912 --> 00:38:08,800
making sure that this district,

1160
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:09,915
which is controlled by

1161
00:38:09,915 --> 00:38:11,750
residents, had the most

1162
00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:13,519
flexibility to do what they

1163
00:38:13,519 --> 00:38:15,187
need to do now and what they

1164
00:38:15,187 --> 00:38:16,855
MAY need to do in the future,

1165
00:38:16,855 --> 00:38:18,757
coming into compliance with the

1166
00:38:18,757 --> 00:38:21,561
current model service plan seem

1167
00:38:21,561 --> 00:38:22,595
like the most efficient and

1168
00:38:22,595 --> 00:38:24,497
easy way to go.

1169
00:38:24,497 --> 00:38:25,864
Okay, I understand that, but my

1170
00:38:25,864 --> 00:38:27,399
other concern is that it took

1171
00:38:27,399 --> 00:38:29,100
you six years to pay off a

1172
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:30,870
third of the debt, but now you

1173
00:38:30,870 --> 00:38:33,206
want to extend it to 30 years

1174
00:38:33,206 --> 00:38:35,700
to pay off the remainder. So,

1175
00:38:35,700 --> 00:38:35,140
and I understand that it

1176
00:38:35,140 --> 00:38:36,242
s

1177
00:38:36,242 --> 00:38:36,742
going to lower the taxes and

1178
00:38:36,742 --> 00:38:38,742
everything else.

1179
00:38:39,178 --> 00:38:42,480
But okay, so the, the, the

1180
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,816
bonds that were issued in 2020,

1181
00:38:43,816 --> 00:38:45,351
the interest rate environment

1182
00:38:45,351 --> 00:38:46,919
was very good. And for those of

1183
00:38:46,919 --> 00:38:48,621
you who are around when these,

1184
00:38:48,621 --> 00:38:51,210
uh, Prairie Center districts

1185
00:38:51,157 --> 00:38:51,624
were organized, um, there

1186
00:38:51,624 --> 00:38:52,992
s an

1187
00:38:52,992 --> 00:38:55,428
agreement with the city that

1188
00:38:55,428 --> 00:38:57,163
returned to the districts, a

1189
00:38:57,163 --> 00:38:59,699
portion of the use taxes that

1190
00:38:59,699 --> 00:39:01,167
are paid at building permit. So

1191
00:39:01,167 --> 00:39:03,469
the reason the district was

1192
00:39:03,469 --> 00:39:06,873
able to issue bonds early in

1193
00:39:06,873 --> 00:39:09,873
the development cycle for this

1194
00:39:10,644 --> 00:39:13,644
district was because when they

1195
00:39:14,447 --> 00:39:18,470
were marketed, there was a big

1196
00:39:18,150 --> 00:39:19,452
bubble of, um, basically use

1197
00:39:19,452 --> 00:39:21,200
taxes that came to the

1198
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,789
district. And because their

1199
00:39:22,789 --> 00:39:24,290
cash flow and then as the

1200
00:39:24,290 --> 00:39:26,693
district built out, it built

1201
00:39:26,693 --> 00:39:29,128
out more quickly than anybody

1202
00:39:29,128 --> 00:39:31,330
anticipated. Um, the property

1203
00:39:31,330 --> 00:39:33,966
taxes and those use taxes

1204
00:39:33,966 --> 00:39:36,269
enabled the district to sort of

1205
00:39:36,269 --> 00:39:39,869
pay off those. The first series

1206
00:39:40,773 --> 00:39:42,508
of 2020 bonds, the 2021 bonds,

1207
00:39:42,508 --> 00:39:44,908
however, are carrying interest

1208
00:39:47,580 --> 00:39:47,780
at 6.3 6.4%. And so what

1209
00:39:47,780 --> 00:39:48,748
s

1210
00:39:48,748 --> 00:39:49,182
happening? Because they

1211
00:39:49,182 --> 00:39:51,830
re cash

1212
00:39:51,830 --> 00:39:53,486
flow bonds and the 2020 ones

1213
00:39:53,486 --> 00:39:55,155
are subordinate. Every penny is

1214
00:39:55,155 --> 00:39:56,957
going into those senior bonds

1215
00:39:56,957 --> 00:39:58,458
that were issued in 2020.

1216
00:39:58,458 --> 00:40:01,294
Nothing is going toward the

1217
00:40:01,294 --> 00:40:03,429
principal on those 2021 bonds

1218
00:40:03,429 --> 00:40:06,429
that are accruing interest at

1219
00:40:06,566 --> 00:40:08,869
6.4%, and will continue to do

1220
00:40:08,869 --> 00:40:13,690
so until they get paid off. So

1221
00:40:13,206 --> 00:40:16,276
the payoff on the 2021 bonds is

1222
00:40:16,276 --> 00:40:18,612
going to be a more protracted

1223
00:40:18,612 --> 00:40:20,514
period. And it because they

1224
00:40:20,514 --> 00:40:21,814
pledge their maximum debt

1225
00:40:21,814 --> 00:40:22,148
service mill levy, there

1226
00:40:22,148 --> 00:40:23,483
s no

1227
00:40:23,483 --> 00:40:25,151
opportunity for that debt

1228
00:40:25,151 --> 00:40:28,751
service mill levy to come down.

1229
00:40:28,989 --> 00:40:31,291
And so again sort of based

1230
00:40:31,291 --> 00:40:33,660
preliminary estimates at this

1231
00:40:33,660 --> 00:40:36,163
point is that there could be a

1232
00:40:36,163 --> 00:40:38,980
significant, um, property tax

1233
00:40:38,980 --> 00:40:39,566
reduction and it is going to be

1234
00:40:39,566 --> 00:40:41,401
a policy decision that the

1235
00:40:41,401 --> 00:40:42,970
board will make in conjunction

1236
00:40:42,970 --> 00:40:44,604
with the input they receive

1237
00:40:44,604 --> 00:40:46,273
from the residents, whether

1238
00:40:46,273 --> 00:40:47,641
they want to extend, you know,

1239
00:40:47,641 --> 00:40:50,511
go a little bit longer on the

1240
00:40:50,511 --> 00:40:53,511
debt to realize bigger property

1241
00:40:53,547 --> 00:40:54,882
tax savings today, or maybe,

1242
00:40:54,882 --> 00:40:57,882
you know, do something in

1243
00:40:58,919 --> 00:41:01,488
between, do nothing and just

1244
00:41:01,488 --> 00:41:02,923
pay off the 2021 bonds as are

1245
00:41:02,923 --> 00:41:04,923
currently structured or

1246
00:41:04,958 --> 00:41:06,126
something in between. Right.

1247
00:41:06,126 --> 00:41:07,294
And the opportunity does

1248
00:41:07,294 --> 00:41:08,295
present itself to get a lower

1249
00:41:08,295 --> 00:41:08,829
interest rate. That

1250
00:41:08,829 --> 00:41:09,129
s

1251
00:41:09,129 --> 00:41:09,663
something.

1252
00:41:09,663 --> 00:41:10,300
That yes.

1253
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:10,597
Yes, I

1254
00:41:10,597 --> 00:41:10,864
m trying to I

1255
00:41:10,864 --> 00:41:11,980
m trying

1256
00:41:11,980 --> 00:41:11,432
to help.

1257
00:41:11,432 --> 00:41:13,267
You out. I

1258
00:41:13,267 --> 00:41:14,334
m sorry. Okay. Yes.

1259
00:41:14,334 --> 00:41:15,869
And the interest.

1260
00:41:15,869 --> 00:41:16,704
Rate on the debt will go down

1261
00:41:16,704 --> 00:41:17,438
as well. That

1262
00:41:17,438 --> 00:41:17,638
s the idea.

1263
00:41:17,638 --> 00:41:17,871
That

1264
00:41:17,871 --> 00:41:18,739
s that

1265
00:41:18,739 --> 00:41:20,107
s the goal here.

1266
00:41:20,107 --> 00:41:21,842
And if you know, and if the

1267
00:41:21,842 --> 00:41:22,420
market goes nuts and they can

1268
00:41:22,420 --> 00:41:22,576
t

1269
00:41:22,576 --> 00:41:23,411
do it, we

1270
00:41:23,411 --> 00:41:24,978
re not making a

1271
00:41:24,978 --> 00:41:26,414
decision today to issue whether

1272
00:41:26,414 --> 00:41:26,747
or not to issue bonds. We

1273
00:41:26,747 --> 00:41:28,348
re

1274
00:41:28,348 --> 00:41:30,717
just saying please give us the

1275
00:41:30,717 --> 00:41:32,453
same amount of flexibility, the

1276
00:41:32,453 --> 00:41:34,421
same parameters that other

1277
00:41:34,421 --> 00:41:36,821
metro districts have to

1278
00:41:37,692 --> 00:41:39,692
consider options.

1279
00:41:40,628 --> 00:41:43,630
All right. Next, Council member

1280
00:41:43,630 --> 00:41:44,999
Snyder.

1281
00:41:44,999 --> 00:41:46,400
Thank you for the presentation.

1282
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,368
I, uh, don

1283
00:41:47,368 --> 00:41:48,635
t want to go against

1284
00:41:48,635 --> 00:41:49,637
the residents in the community.

1285
00:41:49,637 --> 00:41:51,405
I think residents should be

1286
00:41:51,405 --> 00:41:52,706
able to decide for themselves.

1287
00:41:52,706 --> 00:41:53,274
However, you mentioned

1288
00:41:53,274 --> 00:41:53,741
mortgages. I

1289
00:41:53,741 --> 00:41:54,509
m glad you

1290
00:41:54,509 --> 00:41:54,708
mentioned that because that

1291
00:41:54,708 --> 00:41:56,176
ll

1292
00:41:56,176 --> 00:41:58,120
keep this conversation in my

1293
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:58,345
comments real simple. There

1294
00:41:58,345 --> 00:42:00,345
s

1295
00:42:00,815 --> 00:42:02,717
two reasons to refi a mortgage.

1296
00:42:02,717 --> 00:42:03,885
One is to get a lower interest

1297
00:42:03,885 --> 00:42:05,553
rate, in which case you might

1298
00:42:05,553 --> 00:42:05,853
actually save some money. Two

1299
00:42:05,853 --> 00:42:06,420
is you don

1300
00:42:06,420 --> 00:42:07,555
t want to make the

1301
00:42:07,555 --> 00:42:10,158
monthly payment. You want to

1302
00:42:10,158 --> 00:42:11,659
reduce your monthly debt by

1303
00:42:11,659 --> 00:42:12,493
extending it. The problem with

1304
00:42:12,493 --> 00:42:13,940
that one is, is it

1305
00:42:13,940 --> 00:42:14,828
s smoke and

1306
00:42:14,828 --> 00:42:16,296
mirrors because you pay less

1307
00:42:16,296 --> 00:42:17,831
this month, but in the end you

1308
00:42:17,831 --> 00:42:19,167
end up paying a lot more money

1309
00:42:19,167 --> 00:42:21,202
than you would have paid if you

1310
00:42:21,202 --> 00:42:21,402
just left the debt alone. So

1311
00:42:21,402 --> 00:42:23,402
that

1312
00:42:23,504 --> 00:42:26,373
s my concern. Are we

1313
00:42:26,373 --> 00:42:28,676
burdening the residents with

1314
00:42:28,676 --> 00:42:31,379
more out of pocket debt over

1315
00:42:31,379 --> 00:42:34,315
the period of this thing? Um,

1316
00:42:34,315 --> 00:42:35,116
because last time I checked,

1317
00:42:35,116 --> 00:42:35,382
interest rates weren

1318
00:42:35,382 --> 00:42:36,984
t

1319
00:42:36,984 --> 00:42:37,185
extremely favorable. Right now,

1320
00:42:37,185 --> 00:42:38,850
they

1321
00:42:38,850 --> 00:42:38,719
re better than they were a

1322
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:39,320
year ago, but they

1323
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,421
re not

1324
00:42:40,421 --> 00:42:41,550
great. And so I

1325
00:42:41,550 --> 00:42:41,222
m wondering if

1326
00:42:41,222 --> 00:42:42,223
we

1327
00:42:42,223 --> 00:42:44,250
re going to burden the

1328
00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:45,293
residents with more debt

1329
00:42:45,293 --> 00:42:46,861
overall. The other thing is,

1330
00:42:46,861 --> 00:42:49,861
Americans typically live in a

1331
00:42:49,898 --> 00:42:51,366
home 20 years. Extending this

1332
00:42:51,366 --> 00:42:52,533
30 is kicking the can down the

1333
00:42:52,533 --> 00:42:52,933
road to the next people that

1334
00:42:52,933 --> 00:42:53,935
buy in. I

1335
00:42:53,935 --> 00:42:55,569
m not sure I like

1336
00:42:55,569 --> 00:42:59,107
that either. So those are my

1337
00:42:59,107 --> 00:43:02,110
concerns about it is have you

1338
00:43:02,110 --> 00:43:03,678
calculated the final out of

1339
00:43:03,678 --> 00:43:05,914
pocket costs? Are the residents

1340
00:43:05,914 --> 00:43:06,981
paying more for this? Are they

1341
00:43:06,981 --> 00:43:07,115
paying? I mean, I know they

1342
00:43:07,115 --> 00:43:08,183
re

1343
00:43:08,183 --> 00:43:08,316
paying less monthly. I don

1344
00:43:08,316 --> 00:43:08,816
t

1345
00:43:08,816 --> 00:43:09,183
care about that. I

1346
00:43:09,183 --> 00:43:11,183
m talking

1347
00:43:11,220 --> 00:43:12,420
about the total cost of the

1348
00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:13,621
debt. Are they going to end up

1349
00:43:13,621 --> 00:43:14,122
paying more than they

1350
00:43:14,122 --> 00:43:16,122
re paying

1351
00:43:20,328 --> 00:43:21,462
now?

1352
00:43:21,462 --> 00:43:22,798
Yeah. Thank you for your

1353
00:43:22,798 --> 00:43:22,964
question. Obviously, that

1354
00:43:22,964 --> 00:43:24,699
s

1355
00:43:24,699 --> 00:43:26,267
exactly how that works. When

1356
00:43:26,267 --> 00:43:27,302
you extend the amortization on

1357
00:43:27,302 --> 00:43:29,370
a debt, you are going to pay

1358
00:43:29,370 --> 00:43:31,706
more debt over the long run.

1359
00:43:31,706 --> 00:43:34,420
Based on our numbers. And just

1360
00:43:34,420 --> 00:43:35,844
a point, Council Member Greene,

1361
00:43:35,844 --> 00:43:38,790
if we leave the debt

1362
00:43:38,790 --> 00:43:38,279
outstanding, those bonds don

1363
00:43:38,279 --> 00:43:40,279
t

1364
00:43:40,481 --> 00:43:40,915
get paid off until 2043. So

1365
00:43:40,915 --> 00:43:41,516
really what we

1366
00:43:41,516 --> 00:43:43,516
re talking about

1367
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,521
is a 30 year extension to 2056.

1368
00:43:46,521 --> 00:43:46,688
And the additional debt that

1369
00:43:46,688 --> 00:43:47,922
s

1370
00:43:47,922 --> 00:43:51,359
going to accrue on those bonds

1371
00:43:51,359 --> 00:43:53,428
is about $3.4 million of

1372
00:43:53,428 --> 00:43:55,630
accrued and unpaid interest,

1373
00:43:55,630 --> 00:43:57,532
which to me is a waste of money

1374
00:43:57,532 --> 00:43:59,000
for these residents. The total

1375
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,235
debt, if you compare the

1376
00:44:00,235 --> 00:44:00,368
existing debt structure, it

1377
00:44:00,368 --> 00:44:02,368
s

1378
00:44:03,405 --> 00:44:04,500
about seven 17.3 million.

1379
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:04,606
Assuming we don

1380
00:44:04,606 --> 00:44:06,408
t do anything

1381
00:44:06,408 --> 00:44:09,177
with the existing debt under a

1382
00:44:09,177 --> 00:44:10,579
30 year amortization, yes, the

1383
00:44:10,579 --> 00:44:12,881
debt increases to about 20

1384
00:44:12,881 --> 00:44:14,482
million. So about a roughly a

1385
00:44:14,482 --> 00:44:16,482
$3 million delta, slightly

1386
00:44:18,487 --> 00:44:19,921
under. And if we stick to a 25

1387
00:44:19,921 --> 00:44:21,557
year arm, which is currently in

1388
00:44:21,557 --> 00:44:23,858
the district service plan,

1389
00:44:23,858 --> 00:44:24,326
about 17.8. So it

1390
00:44:24,326 --> 00:44:25,727
s kind of a

1391
00:44:25,727 --> 00:44:27,429
wash between the current

1392
00:44:27,429 --> 00:44:30,198
existing debt structure in a 25

1393
00:44:30,198 --> 00:44:32,167
year Am. But again, the goal of

1394
00:44:32,167 --> 00:44:34,870
these taxpayers is to lower

1395
00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:38,470
their taxes. And just a point

1396
00:44:39,207 --> 00:44:40,809
on the the actual the average

1397
00:44:40,809 --> 00:44:43,478
homeowner stays in a house

1398
00:44:43,478 --> 00:44:43,745
about 7 to 8 years. So, you

1399
00:44:43,745 --> 00:44:44,646
know, it

1400
00:44:44,646 --> 00:44:44,980
s not 20 and we

1401
00:44:44,980 --> 00:44:46,882
re not

1402
00:44:46,882 --> 00:44:48,950
kicking the can. Um, this will

1403
00:44:48,950 --> 00:44:50,719
be obviously a burden, tax

1404
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,888
burden for the next property

1405
00:44:52,888 --> 00:44:53,855
owner. But depending on when

1406
00:44:53,855 --> 00:44:53,989
they move into that house, it

1407
00:44:53,989 --> 00:44:55,570
s

1408
00:44:55,570 --> 00:44:57,292
not going to be a 30 year

1409
00:44:57,292 --> 00:45:00,429
obligation. So I just wanted to

1410
00:45:00,429 --> 00:45:01,630
make that point.

1411
00:45:01,630 --> 00:45:04,630
Thanks for clarifying. Is that

1412
00:45:04,767 --> 00:45:05,134
all Council member.

1413
00:45:05,134 --> 00:45:07,134
Yeah, I

1414
00:45:07,970 --> 00:45:09,772
ve okay.

1415
00:45:09,772 --> 00:45:11,740
Next. Council member Fiedler.

1416
00:45:11,740 --> 00:45:12,808
Thank you. Mayor. I appreciate

1417
00:45:12,808 --> 00:45:15,208
the presentation and the

1418
00:45:15,210 --> 00:45:16,445
efforts to reduce the tax rate

1419
00:45:16,445 --> 00:45:16,678
put in dollars and cents for

1420
00:45:16,678 --> 00:45:17,712
me. I

1421
00:45:17,712 --> 00:45:19,214
ve done my back of the

1422
00:45:19,214 --> 00:45:19,515
napkin guess up here. Let

1423
00:45:19,515 --> 00:45:21,515
s say

1424
00:45:21,684 --> 00:45:24,200
the average home there is

1425
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,788
$600,000. And your assessment

1426
00:45:25,788 --> 00:45:26,422
rates about 7%. And it

1427
00:45:26,422 --> 00:45:27,556
s a 24

1428
00:45:27,556 --> 00:45:29,258
mill reduction. I get about

1429
00:45:29,258 --> 00:45:30,526
$1,000 a year in tax savings.

1430
00:45:30,526 --> 00:45:31,127
That sound right to you all

1431
00:45:31,127 --> 00:45:31,761
okay.

1432
00:45:31,761 --> 00:45:32,127
And on the assessed.

1433
00:45:32,127 --> 00:45:34,630
Value.

1434
00:45:34,630 --> 00:45:35,831
On the assessed value. But give

1435
00:45:35,831 --> 00:45:37,599
or take $1,000 a year in tax

1436
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:39,835
savings. I commend you for

1437
00:45:39,835 --> 00:45:40,168
being an all resident board,

1438
00:45:40,168 --> 00:45:40,736
because that

1439
00:45:40,736 --> 00:45:42,500
s not always the

1440
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:43,305
case of the metro districts.

1441
00:45:43,305 --> 00:45:44,339
And for being proactive enough

1442
00:45:44,339 --> 00:45:45,541
to come in here and present to

1443
00:45:45,541 --> 00:45:46,675
us. I think this is an

1444
00:45:46,675 --> 00:45:47,676
administrative function in

1445
00:45:47,676 --> 00:45:48,777
terms of what you

1446
00:45:48,777 --> 00:45:49,645
re asking of

1447
00:45:49,645 --> 00:45:50,120
us. I don

1448
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:50,379
t think it

1449
00:45:50,379 --> 00:45:52,379
s for me

1450
00:45:53,749 --> 00:45:54,684
or anybody else to tell you how

1451
00:45:54,684 --> 00:45:55,951
soon you should pay your debt

1452
00:45:55,951 --> 00:45:56,618
off or not. I appreciate Jim

1453
00:45:56,618 --> 00:45:58,454
s

1454
00:45:58,454 --> 00:45:58,788
comments, but, uh, it

1455
00:45:58,788 --> 00:45:59,188
s just

1456
00:45:59,188 --> 00:45:59,755
the nature. I

1457
00:45:59,755 --> 00:46:00,990
ve never seen a

1458
00:46:00,990 --> 00:46:02,825
metro district close out all

1459
00:46:02,825 --> 00:46:04,394
there in my lifetime. Close out

1460
00:46:04,394 --> 00:46:04,593
all their debt, and suddenly

1461
00:46:04,593 --> 00:46:05,795
there

1462
00:46:05,795 --> 00:46:06,361
s not any more debt. So,

1463
00:46:06,361 --> 00:46:08,263
um, I

1464
00:46:08,263 --> 00:46:08,464
m supportive of this.

1465
00:46:08,464 --> 00:46:09,131
That

1466
00:46:09,131 --> 00:46:09,732
s the right thing to do. I

1467
00:46:09,732 --> 00:46:10,499
understand why you

1468
00:46:10,499 --> 00:46:11,600
re doing it.

1469
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,360
And I want to put the dollars

1470
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:13,903
and cents to it, because not

1471
00:46:13,903 --> 00:46:14,970
everyone will do the back of

1472
00:46:14,970 --> 00:46:15,838
the napkin math or know how to

1473
00:46:15,838 --> 00:46:16,973
do it right. It

1474
00:46:16,973 --> 00:46:18,174
s $1,000 a year

1475
00:46:18,174 --> 00:46:19,175
in savings. And kudos to you

1476
00:46:19,175 --> 00:46:21,770
all for finding a way to lower

1477
00:46:21,770 --> 00:46:23,770
your tax bill..

1478
00:46:24,313 --> 00:46:25,782
Next, mayor Pro Tem, hi.

1479
00:46:25,782 --> 00:46:26,883
Thank you very much for the

1480
00:46:26,883 --> 00:46:28,351
presentation. Thank you very

1481
00:46:28,351 --> 00:46:29,285
much for coming in. I want to

1482
00:46:29,285 --> 00:46:30,587
make sure that I understand

1483
00:46:30,587 --> 00:46:33,890
what the question in front of

1484
00:46:33,890 --> 00:46:35,191
us actually is, because you are

1485
00:46:35,191 --> 00:46:37,930
the board, you want to make the

1486
00:46:37,930 --> 00:46:38,194
decision, you want to work with

1487
00:46:38,194 --> 00:46:39,395
your residents and make a

1488
00:46:39,395 --> 00:46:41,131
decision on how you might

1489
00:46:41,131 --> 00:46:43,933
handle it. The question really

1490
00:46:43,933 --> 00:46:45,267
in front of us is, can we amend

1491
00:46:45,267 --> 00:46:48,867
the service plan to give you

1492
00:46:49,572 --> 00:46:52,700
the flexibility to do so? Uh,

1493
00:46:52,700 --> 00:46:53,242
your service plan predates our

1494
00:46:53,242 --> 00:46:55,679
model service plan, if I

1495
00:46:55,679 --> 00:46:58,281
understand that as well. Are

1496
00:46:58,281 --> 00:46:59,449
there other changes or other

1497
00:46:59,449 --> 00:47:01,251
differences between your

1498
00:47:01,251 --> 00:47:03,286
current service plan and the

1499
00:47:03,286 --> 00:47:04,688
model service plan that we

1500
00:47:04,688 --> 00:47:05,955
ought to be contemplating to

1501
00:47:05,955 --> 00:47:09,555
bring you in line with that

1502
00:47:12,529 --> 00:47:14,130
current model service plan?

1503
00:47:14,130 --> 00:47:15,832
Mayor Pro Tem, yes, there are

1504
00:47:15,832 --> 00:47:18,101
differences between the older

1505
00:47:18,101 --> 00:47:19,702
service plan and the current

1506
00:47:19,702 --> 00:47:21,538
model service plan that the the

1507
00:47:21,538 --> 00:47:23,938
council has adopted. The

1508
00:47:24,875 --> 00:47:26,509
applicant proposed these minor

1509
00:47:26,509 --> 00:47:28,778
changes to handle the fully

1510
00:47:28,778 --> 00:47:31,810
resident controlled board. Um,

1511
00:47:31,810 --> 00:47:32,616
desire to refinance the

1512
00:47:32,616 --> 00:47:33,750
outstanding debt. When we

1513
00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:35,552
discussed with the applicant

1514
00:47:35,552 --> 00:47:37,554
early on, because this is one

1515
00:47:37,554 --> 00:47:39,423
of the metro districts in

1516
00:47:39,423 --> 00:47:41,457
connection with an aggregate

1517
00:47:41,457 --> 00:47:43,961
group of Prairie Center metro

1518
00:47:43,961 --> 00:47:46,496
districts that have maximum met

1519
00:47:46,496 --> 00:47:48,332
or maximum debt cap limits for

1520
00:47:48,332 --> 00:47:49,733
all of the districts, and for

1521
00:47:49,733 --> 00:47:51,968
them to try and bring that

1522
00:47:51,968 --> 00:47:54,400
service plan fully in

1523
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,306
compliance with the model. Um,

1524
00:47:56,306 --> 00:47:58,241
would require all of the other

1525
00:47:58,241 --> 00:48:00,176
districts to also then come

1526
00:48:00,176 --> 00:48:02,279
back and submit all of their

1527
00:48:02,279 --> 00:48:03,847
service plans to come into

1528
00:48:03,847 --> 00:48:05,482
compliance with the model.

1529
00:48:05,482 --> 00:48:06,916
Otherwise, we have

1530
00:48:06,916 --> 00:48:08,718
inconsistencies with

1531
00:48:08,718 --> 00:48:11,221
enforcement of the model of the

1532
00:48:11,221 --> 00:48:13,390
service plans and how they all

1533
00:48:13,390 --> 00:48:14,491
intertwine and work together.

1534
00:48:14,491 --> 00:48:15,392
And so what

1535
00:48:15,392 --> 00:48:18,392
s in front of you

1536
00:48:18,395 --> 00:48:19,996
today are really minor changes

1537
00:48:19,996 --> 00:48:22,433
to their service plan, while

1538
00:48:22,433 --> 00:48:25,433
keeping everything in place as

1539
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:27,837
is currently. So yes, there are

1540
00:48:27,837 --> 00:48:30,237
differences between the model,

1541
00:48:30,307 --> 00:48:32,707
which includes some reporting

1542
00:48:32,843 --> 00:48:34,611
requirements, some, um,

1543
00:48:34,611 --> 00:48:35,212
different, you know, their

1544
00:48:35,212 --> 00:48:35,746
initial one didn

1545
00:48:35,746 --> 00:48:37,746
t have this

1546
00:48:38,820 --> 00:48:40,917
mill levy imposition term, but

1547
00:48:40,917 --> 00:48:41,118
the thrust of the changes that

1548
00:48:41,118 --> 00:48:42,786
they

1549
00:48:42,786 --> 00:48:44,688
re asking for have all

1550
00:48:44,688 --> 00:48:46,900
been contemplated in the model

1551
00:48:46,900 --> 00:48:46,323
where as soon as it

1552
00:48:46,323 --> 00:48:48,323
s a

1553
00:48:48,492 --> 00:48:50,294
resident control board, if the

1554
00:48:50,294 --> 00:48:51,728
board approves extending that

1555
00:48:51,728 --> 00:48:53,730
debt limit or extending the

1556
00:48:53,730 --> 00:48:56,133
imposition term, or extending a

1557
00:48:56,133 --> 00:48:57,534
longer debt term, your model in

1558
00:48:57,534 --> 00:48:57,734
the in the policy decision

1559
00:48:57,734 --> 00:48:59,503
that

1560
00:48:59,503 --> 00:49:01,903
s surrounds that model,

1561
00:49:02,339 --> 00:49:03,274
um, provision supports this

1562
00:49:03,274 --> 00:49:04,841
amendment.

1563
00:49:04,841 --> 00:49:06,677
Okay.

1564
00:49:06,677 --> 00:49:06,844
That makes sense because I

1565
00:49:06,844 --> 00:49:07,878
we

1566
00:49:07,878 --> 00:49:10,748
re not being asked to make

1567
00:49:10,748 --> 00:49:12,416
the decision refi and extend,

1568
00:49:12,416 --> 00:49:14,651
uh, lower the monthly payments

1569
00:49:14,651 --> 00:49:15,620
in trade for a longer debt

1570
00:49:15,620 --> 00:49:16,387
cycle. Uh, that

1571
00:49:16,387 --> 00:49:18,880
s really the

1572
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:19,856
residents who get to make that

1573
00:49:19,856 --> 00:49:20,240
that decision. And if they

1574
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:20,958
don

1575
00:49:20,958 --> 00:49:22,727
t like it, I suppose they

1576
00:49:22,727 --> 00:49:25,620
can, uh, vote in a new board

1577
00:49:25,620 --> 00:49:27,465
and go for something else. But,

1578
00:49:27,465 --> 00:49:28,966
that that really is the attempt

1579
00:49:28,966 --> 00:49:31,902
to put it back in your hands. I

1580
00:49:31,902 --> 00:49:33,704
think you answered the question

1581
00:49:33,704 --> 00:49:35,807
that I had around. Uh, is it

1582
00:49:35,807 --> 00:49:36,874
worth trying to uplift the

1583
00:49:36,874 --> 00:49:37,740
whole thing? But really, we

1584
00:49:37,740 --> 00:49:39,430
ve

1585
00:49:39,430 --> 00:49:41,945
got such a patchwork or

1586
00:49:41,945 --> 00:49:42,813
interconnected set of, uh,

1587
00:49:42,813 --> 00:49:43,715
districts that that

1588
00:49:43,715 --> 00:49:45,490
s perhaps

1589
00:49:45,490 --> 00:49:47,180
more complicated than it is

1590
00:49:47,180 --> 00:49:48,886
worthwhile to consider. Uh,

1591
00:49:48,886 --> 00:49:51,288
this one specifically. My other

1592
00:49:51,288 --> 00:49:53,357
question is, is this metro

1593
00:49:53,357 --> 00:49:55,259
district built out or does it

1594
00:49:55,259 --> 00:49:56,827
have a new enough time, uh,

1595
00:49:56,827 --> 00:49:59,364
projection of timeline to build

1596
00:49:59,364 --> 00:50:02,132
out that that 40 years now

1597
00:50:02,132 --> 00:50:04,532
gives you enough runway.?

1598
00:50:04,802 --> 00:50:07,202
This particular our community

1599
00:50:07,939 --> 00:50:08,506
is fully built out, 370 homes.

1600
00:50:08,506 --> 00:50:10,410
So. So we don

1601
00:50:10,410 --> 00:50:11,409
t have a problem

1602
00:50:11,409 --> 00:50:14,440
of you still need to develop

1603
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:15,212
another 120 homes and we create

1604
00:50:15,212 --> 00:50:15,480
that problem farther down the

1605
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:16,147
road.

1606
00:50:16,147 --> 00:50:18,147
Yeah.

1607
00:50:21,319 --> 00:50:23,388
Okay. Um, my other question is

1608
00:50:23,388 --> 00:50:24,689
entirely curiosity. And so I

1609
00:50:24,689 --> 00:50:26,591
will say it, but the answer is

1610
00:50:26,591 --> 00:50:27,658
not really important. I the

1611
00:50:27,658 --> 00:50:29,860
metro district having to

1612
00:50:29,860 --> 00:50:31,763
function as the hoa as well,

1613
00:50:31,763 --> 00:50:33,765
creates a different challenge.

1614
00:50:33,765 --> 00:50:35,990
Uh, it seems like forming an

1615
00:50:35,990 --> 00:50:37,680
hoa and separating that from

1616
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:38,703
the metro district would be a

1617
00:50:38,703 --> 00:50:40,572
simplifying factor and would

1618
00:50:40,572 --> 00:50:42,474
potentially eliminate your

1619
00:50:42,474 --> 00:50:44,375
problem of assessments,

1620
00:50:44,375 --> 00:50:45,343
potentially down the road. But,

1621
00:50:45,343 --> 00:50:45,943
uh, again, that

1622
00:50:45,943 --> 00:50:46,778
s up to you to

1623
00:50:46,778 --> 00:50:48,579
figure out how you need to

1624
00:50:48,579 --> 00:50:50,515
organize all of that. Uh, it

1625
00:50:50,515 --> 00:50:52,160
just causes me a little bit of,

1626
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:52,851
of angst, but I don

1627
00:50:52,851 --> 00:50:54,851
t live in

1628
00:50:55,754 --> 00:50:58,754
that neighborhood. Okay? I can

1629
00:51:01,893 --> 00:51:03,895
see no reason not to. Give

1630
00:51:03,895 --> 00:51:05,964
flexibility and power to the

1631
00:51:05,964 --> 00:51:07,699
the metro district, uh, in

1632
00:51:07,699 --> 00:51:09,800
accordance with how things are

1633
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:10,568
structured and recognizing, uh,

1634
00:51:10,568 --> 00:51:11,369
the challenges you

1635
00:51:11,369 --> 00:51:12,671
ve seen. So

1636
00:51:12,671 --> 00:51:14,105
thank you very much for the

1637
00:51:14,105 --> 00:51:16,105
answers.

1638
00:51:16,108 --> 00:51:18,508
Next, Council member Wirth.

1639
00:51:18,776 --> 00:51:19,210
Thank you, Mayor. Um.

1640
00:51:19,210 --> 00:51:19,577
I mean, I

1641
00:51:19,577 --> 00:51:20,445
m I

1642
00:51:20,445 --> 00:51:21,747
m also generally

1643
00:51:21,747 --> 00:51:23,582
not in favor of kicking the can

1644
00:51:23,582 --> 00:51:25,617
down the road to use the same

1645
00:51:25,617 --> 00:51:26,510
term somebody else did earlier.

1646
00:51:26,510 --> 00:51:27,252
Uh, but I

1647
00:51:27,252 --> 00:51:29,652
m definitely in favor

1648
00:51:30,922 --> 00:51:31,923
of lowering tax. Um, but I got

1649
00:51:31,923 --> 00:51:33,925
a couple of questions here.

1650
00:51:33,925 --> 00:51:36,461
Your board is currently all

1651
00:51:36,461 --> 00:51:38,797
residents that are homeowners

1652
00:51:38,797 --> 00:51:41,660
in, uh, in the development

1653
00:51:41,660 --> 00:51:45,360
right now. How are how was that

1654
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,360
board selected?

1655
00:51:47,605 --> 00:51:48,273
Volunteers. Pardon me.

1656
00:51:48,273 --> 00:51:49,908
Volunteer.

1657
00:51:49,908 --> 00:51:51,510
Volunteer. So just did the word

1658
00:51:51,510 --> 00:51:53,779
go out to everybody and.

1659
00:51:53,779 --> 00:51:53,978
Yes, in fact, um, at our at the

1660
00:51:53,978 --> 00:51:55,978
board

1661
00:51:56,981 --> 00:51:58,751
s last meeting, um, the

1662
00:51:58,751 --> 00:52:02,351
board was able to fill two

1663
00:52:02,387 --> 00:52:03,956
vacancies because, um, they

1664
00:52:03,956 --> 00:52:06,291
posted in a newsletter that

1665
00:52:06,291 --> 00:52:09,270
went out with their o&m fee,

1666
00:52:09,270 --> 00:52:10,428
uh, invoices and invitation for

1667
00:52:10,428 --> 00:52:13,428
people to volunteer for the

1668
00:52:13,599 --> 00:52:15,968
board. Um, we they have all

1669
00:52:15,968 --> 00:52:17,803
been appointed because under

1670
00:52:17,803 --> 00:52:19,638
statute, if you have fewer

1671
00:52:19,638 --> 00:52:21,306
candidates than there are

1672
00:52:21,306 --> 00:52:21,740
vacancies, then you don

1673
00:52:21,740 --> 00:52:23,750
t go

1674
00:52:23,750 --> 00:52:23,875
through the expense of having

1675
00:52:23,875 --> 00:52:24,143
an election.

1676
00:52:24,143 --> 00:52:25,177
Sure.

1677
00:52:25,177 --> 00:52:25,644
No, I get that. I was just

1678
00:52:25,644 --> 00:52:26,311
curious.

1679
00:52:26,311 --> 00:52:27,947
More than anything.

1680
00:52:27,947 --> 00:52:30,615
Yeah, they will all be standing

1681
00:52:30,615 --> 00:52:30,950
for re-election next, next

1682
00:52:30,950 --> 00:52:32,840
cycle.

1683
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:33,452
Okay. So everybody has an

1684
00:52:33,452 --> 00:52:34,190
opportunity to serve on this

1685
00:52:34,190 --> 00:52:36,190
board. This isn

1686
00:52:36,421 --> 00:52:37,890
t a handpicked

1687
00:52:37,890 --> 00:52:38,490
board or anything like that.

1688
00:52:38,490 --> 00:52:39,925
No, no.

1689
00:52:39,925 --> 00:52:41,920
Like that includes a bunch of

1690
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:42,728
developers that actually live

1691
00:52:42,728 --> 00:52:43,262
in the in the neighborhood.

1692
00:52:43,262 --> 00:52:43,462
No.

1693
00:52:43,462 --> 00:52:44,697
That

1694
00:52:44,697 --> 00:52:44,863
s all I got. I also don

1695
00:52:44,863 --> 00:52:46,765
t

1696
00:52:46,765 --> 00:52:47,866
see a good reason to keep you

1697
00:52:47,866 --> 00:52:48,400
guys from doing what you have

1698
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:49,468
to do with your.

1699
00:52:49,468 --> 00:52:51,468
Own.

1700
00:52:52,371 --> 00:52:53,438
Um, with your own, uh, metro

1701
00:52:53,438 --> 00:52:54,540
district. So thank.

1702
00:52:54,540 --> 00:52:55,274
You.

1703
00:52:55,274 --> 00:52:55,641
Thank you. That

1704
00:52:55,641 --> 00:52:57,276
s all the

1705
00:52:57,276 --> 00:52:57,409
comments I have from council.

1706
00:52:57,409 --> 00:52:58,677
I

1707
00:52:58,677 --> 00:52:59,110
ll just add in real quick.

1708
00:52:59,110 --> 00:53:00,412
Um, I

1709
00:53:00,412 --> 00:53:01,814
m not against what you

1710
00:53:01,814 --> 00:53:03,749
want to do as residents. This

1711
00:53:03,749 --> 00:53:05,884
is your board. This is your. I

1712
00:53:05,884 --> 00:53:07,187
mean, you are the, uh, property

1713
00:53:07,187 --> 00:53:09,587
owners and the property

1714
00:53:09,621 --> 00:53:11,123
taxpayers of this area. Um,

1715
00:53:11,123 --> 00:53:12,792
just to describe this

1716
00:53:12,792 --> 00:53:14,493
situation, this requires two

1717
00:53:14,493 --> 00:53:15,610
readings. So if those were to

1718
00:53:15,610 --> 00:53:15,495
pass tonight, it

1719
00:53:15,495 --> 00:53:17,290
s going to

1720
00:53:17,290 --> 00:53:18,831
require second reading coming

1721
00:53:18,831 --> 00:53:19,966
up in the future to pass in

1722
00:53:19,966 --> 00:53:20,466
order to get. Oh, it

1723
00:53:20,466 --> 00:53:22,466
s a

1724
00:53:22,735 --> 00:53:24,437
resolution. Oh thank you.

1725
00:53:24,437 --> 00:53:24,570
Thanks for clarifying that. Yes

1726
00:53:24,570 --> 00:53:26,570
I

1727
00:53:26,839 --> 00:53:28,700
m a lot of these are a lot of

1728
00:53:28,700 --> 00:53:30,242
the public hearings are to

1729
00:53:30,242 --> 00:53:31,177
reads okay. Never mind. So if

1730
00:53:31,177 --> 00:53:33,545
this sort of passed tonight

1731
00:53:33,545 --> 00:53:35,615
then it passes okay. Yes.

1732
00:53:35,615 --> 00:53:36,849
Thanks for finding that Council

1733
00:53:36,849 --> 00:53:37,416
member green, you got a

1734
00:53:37,416 --> 00:53:38,817
comment?

1735
00:53:38,817 --> 00:53:40,286
Just a follow up question. What

1736
00:53:40,286 --> 00:53:42,870
was the vote on this from the

1737
00:53:42,870 --> 00:53:43,156
board? Was unanimous.

1738
00:53:43,156 --> 00:53:45,156
Was that.

1739
00:53:45,758 --> 00:53:47,827
Was unanimous. And how many

1740
00:53:47,827 --> 00:53:50,296
members are on that board?

1741
00:53:50,296 --> 00:53:52,296
Five. Thank you.

1742
00:53:52,931 --> 00:53:55,340
Okay. Thanks for clarifying. No

1743
00:53:55,340 --> 00:53:56,502
other questions. I will close

1744
00:53:56,502 --> 00:53:57,303
the public hearing. This is

1745
00:53:57,303 --> 00:53:58,971

00:53:58,971 --> 00:54:00,406

00:54:05,545 --> 00:54:06,546

move item six a roll call vote.

1755
00:54:18,570 --> 00:54:21,570
Motion passes eight zero with

1756
00:54:21,127 --> 00:54:24,127
one absent. All right. Thank

1757
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:28,868
you all.

1758
00:54:28,868 --> 00:54:30,403
Right.

1759
00:54:30,403 --> 00:54:31,404
You guys are all welcome to

1760
00:54:31,404 --> 00:54:31,837
stay for the rest of the

1761
00:54:31,837 --> 00:54:32,271
meeting, but I

1762
00:54:32,271 --> 00:54:33,306
ll give you a

1763
00:54:33,306 --> 00:54:33,473
moment to clear the room. If

1764
00:54:33,473 --> 00:54:35,473
you

1765
00:54:36,776 --> 00:54:38,776
d like.

1766
00:55:04,804 --> 00:55:06,804
Yes.

1767
00:55:11,311 --> 00:55:14,311

and appropriations. And this

1777
00:55:35,501 --> 00:55:36,703
will go to Deputy City Attorney

1778
00:55:36,703 --> 00:55:37,638

00:55:37,638 --> 00:55:38,739
Thank you. Mayor.

1780
00:55:38,739 --> 00:55:40,106
Good evening, mayor and members

1781
00:55:40,106 --> 00:55:41,375
of Council. I am here this

1782
00:55:41,375 --> 00:55:42,642
evening to present amendments

1783
00:55:42,642 --> 00:55:46,213
to articles two and three of

1784
00:55:46,213 --> 00:55:48,181
the Brighton Municipal Code.

1785
00:55:48,181 --> 00:55:49,483
These amendments relate to

1786
00:55:49,483 --> 00:55:51,251
elections and city council

1787
00:55:51,251 --> 00:55:53,860
procedures. Budget carry over

1788
00:55:53,860 --> 00:55:55,122
for non lapsing capital

1789
00:55:55,122 --> 00:55:56,490
appropriations. Advertisement

1790
00:55:56,490 --> 00:55:58,291
procedures for procurement of

1791
00:55:58,291 --> 00:55:59,493
construction services and

1792
00:55:59,493 --> 00:56:01,493
procurement solicitation.

1793
00:56:05,398 --> 00:56:07,267
Protest procedures. The table

1794
00:56:07,267 --> 00:56:08,569
on the screen before you

1795
00:56:08,569 --> 00:56:10,737
outlines the amendment. Staff

1796
00:56:10,737 --> 00:56:12,406
is proposing to article two.

1797
00:56:12,406 --> 00:56:13,640
First, staff proposes to align

1798
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,175
the deadline to cure defects

1799
00:56:15,175 --> 00:56:16,477
and petitions of nomination and

1800
00:56:16,477 --> 00:56:18,178
affidavits, with the deadline

1801
00:56:18,178 --> 00:56:20,247
set forth in title one of the

1802
00:56:20,247 --> 00:56:21,982
Colorado Revised Statutes.

1803
00:56:21,982 --> 00:56:23,951
Changing the deadline from 18

1804
00:56:23,951 --> 00:56:25,920
days before the election to 64

1805
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:27,354
days before the election. This

1806
00:56:27,354 --> 00:56:28,422
change is necessary to provide

1807
00:56:28,422 --> 00:56:29,924
deadline cohesion and

1808
00:56:29,924 --> 00:56:32,324
Elections coordinated with the

1809
00:56:32,392 --> 00:56:34,227
county. Staff seeks to provide

1810
00:56:34,227 --> 00:56:36,496
cohesion by clarifying the

1811
00:56:36,496 --> 00:56:38,310
applicable computation of time

1812
00:56:38,310 --> 00:56:39,566
based on whether the election

1813
00:56:39,566 --> 00:56:41,668
is coordinated with the county

1814
00:56:41,668 --> 00:56:43,300
or not. Finally, a staff is

1815
00:56:43,300 --> 00:56:44,405
proposing the addition of a new

1816
00:56:44,405 --> 00:56:46,730
section to article two

1817
00:56:46,730 --> 00:56:47,208
prohibiting the same or similar

1818
00:56:47,208 --> 00:56:49,243
ordinances which have been

1819
00:56:49,243 --> 00:56:50,578
previously denied from being

1820
00:56:50,578 --> 00:56:51,945
brought back before Council for

1821
00:56:51,945 --> 00:56:54,945
consideration for a period of

1822
00:56:56,217 --> 00:56:58,520
one year. Returning to article

1823
00:56:58,520 --> 00:56:59,620
three amendments, the first

1824
00:56:59,620 --> 00:57:01,550
proposed change clarifies the

1825
00:57:01,550 --> 00:57:02,790
process that staff conducts to

1826
00:57:02,790 --> 00:57:04,459
formally bring continuing funds

1827
00:57:04,459 --> 00:57:05,927
into the next fiscal year.

1828
00:57:05,927 --> 00:57:07,280
Because final amounts to be

1829
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:08,429
carried forward cannot be

1830
00:57:08,429 --> 00:57:09,897
determined until after the

1831
00:57:09,897 --> 00:57:11,699
original budget is adopted for

1832
00:57:11,699 --> 00:57:13,670
that fiscal year. The amounts

1833
00:57:13,670 --> 00:57:14,869
included at the time of budget

1834
00:57:14,869 --> 00:57:16,303
adoption will only include new

1835
00:57:16,303 --> 00:57:18,139
appropriation amounts for that

1836
00:57:18,139 --> 00:57:19,940
year. In the case of carried

1837
00:57:19,940 --> 00:57:21,576
forward budget, this will be

1838
00:57:21,576 --> 00:57:22,576
administratively added after

1839
00:57:22,576 --> 00:57:23,845
close out of the previous

1840
00:57:23,845 --> 00:57:26,347
fiscal year. In the first

1841
00:57:26,347 --> 00:57:27,582
quarter of the year. Next,

1842
00:57:27,582 --> 00:57:28,916
staff proposes to remove the

1843
00:57:28,916 --> 00:57:30,317
requirement that construction

1844
00:57:30,317 --> 00:57:32,687
solicitations be published in

1845
00:57:32,687 --> 00:57:33,921
an area newspaper. Instead,

1846
00:57:33,921 --> 00:57:36,257
solicitations will only be

1847
00:57:36,257 --> 00:57:37,392
published online. And finally,

1848
00:57:37,392 --> 00:57:39,393
staff proposes amending the

1849
00:57:39,393 --> 00:57:41,195
deadline to file a solicitation

1850
00:57:41,195 --> 00:57:42,263
protest, changing the deadline

1851
00:57:42,263 --> 00:57:44,365
from five days after the

1852
00:57:44,365 --> 00:57:45,699
opening of a solicitation to

1853
00:57:45,699 --> 00:57:48,699
five days following the award

1854
00:57:50,571 --> 00:57:51,772
of a contract. The options

1855
00:57:51,772 --> 00:57:54,800
before you this evening are on

1856
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:54,943
the screen, and I am available

1857
00:57:54,943 --> 00:57:57,110
for any questions that you MAY

1858
00:57:57,110 --> 00:57:59,110
have.

1859
00:57:59,347 --> 00:58:02,347
Any other questions other than

1860
00:58:03,151 --> 00:58:03,785
what was asked last week? With

1861
00:58:03,785 --> 00:58:05,785
that, we

1862
00:58:06,888 --> 00:58:08,623

00:58:08,623 --> 00:58:09,524

t give you a hard time

1876
00:58:33,348 --> 00:58:34,182
with that.

1877
00:58:34,182 --> 00:58:36,182
I appreciate.

1878
00:58:37,285 --> 00:58:39,285

Armando, thank you for your

01:01:51,748 --> 01:01:53,449
few so that if people are

1977
01:01:53,449 --> 01:01:53,650
watching, they can see what it

1978
01:01:53,650 --> 01:01:54,350
is we

1979
01:01:54,350 --> 01:01:56,520
re talking about, rather

1980
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,540
than just the roadway itself,

1981
01:01:58,540 --> 01:01:59,656
location and the like? Things

1982
01:01:59,656 --> 01:02:00,357
like this and this.

1983
01:02:00,357 --> 01:02:00,791
Okay.

1984
01:02:00,791 --> 01:02:01,825
Okay.

1985
01:02:01,825 --> 01:02:03,926
And then the other one was the

1986
01:02:03,926 --> 01:02:06,326
map right before this.

1987
01:02:06,462 --> 01:02:07,697
So this was pretty much as it,

1988
01:02:07,697 --> 01:02:07,864
as it is right now. So it

1989
01:02:07,864 --> 01:02:09,864
s

1990
01:02:10,467 --> 01:02:13,537
just a pavement and some uh,

1991
01:02:13,537 --> 01:02:15,372
uh, road base, you know, all

1992
01:02:15,372 --> 01:02:16,973
the way to the bus barn and the

1993
01:02:16,973 --> 01:02:18,675
rest is just dirt and shrubs

1994
01:02:18,675 --> 01:02:18,908
and stuff like that. So we

1995
01:02:18,908 --> 01:02:20,543
re

1996
01:02:20,543 --> 01:02:22,712
planning to construct the

1997
01:02:22,712 --> 01:02:24,948

01:02:31,822 --> 01:02:32,222
I

2005
01:02:32,222 --> 01:02:32,355
m sorry.

2006
01:02:32,355 --> 01:02:34,355
I

2007
01:02:34,958 --> 01:02:36,392
m focusing..

2008
01:02:36,392 --> 01:02:37,493
And I want to make sure they

2009
01:02:37,493 --> 01:02:37,927
they can see that it

2010
01:02:37,927 --> 01:02:39,896

one.

2015
01:02:45,636 --> 01:02:46,470
Is pretty much the pond in the

2016
01:02:46,470 --> 01:02:46,737

01:02:56,313 --> 01:02:58,382
for this. This roadway is, uh,

2027
01:02:59,449 --> 01:02:59,749

01:02:59,749 --> 01:03:00,484

Perfect.

s my first time. Okay.

2034
01:03:03,453 --> 01:03:04,454

Better. You did great.

2037
01:03:07,524 --> 01:03:09,920
This also highlights another

2038
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:09,259
entry into the preserve who

2039
01:03:09,259 --> 01:03:10,761
s

2040
01:03:10,761 --> 01:03:12,280
been cut off for a while on the

2041
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:12,863
west side of their

2042
01:03:12,863 --> 01:03:13,429
neighborhood.

2043
01:03:13,429 --> 01:03:13,897
True.

2044
01:03:13,897 --> 01:03:15,365
But that

2045
01:03:15,365 --> 01:03:17,765
ll be addressed again,

2046
01:03:17,801 --> 01:03:19,870
so thank you. Any other

2047
01:03:19,870 --> 01:03:21,738
questions or comments? If. Oh,

2048
01:03:21,738 --> 01:03:23,738
Council member Fiddler.

2049
01:03:24,740 --> 01:03:25,108
Thank you. Mayor. Assuming we

2050
01:03:25,108 --> 01:03:26,276
approve the contract, which i

2051
01:03:26,276 --> 01:03:26,643
think we will. What

2052
01:03:26,643 --> 01:03:27,911
s the

2053
01:03:27,911 --> 01:03:29,313
timeline look like for

2054
01:03:29,313 --> 01:03:31,313
construction?

2055
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:34,218
What do. Yeah. Uh, so if the.

2056
01:03:34,218 --> 01:03:36,190
Way things or projects are

2057
01:03:36,190 --> 01:03:37,487
going. So we get, once we get

2058
01:03:37,487 --> 01:03:39,156
their approval from the board,

2059
01:03:39,156 --> 01:03:42,560
it takes a at least a week or

2060
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:43,827
two to award the contract. And

2061
01:03:43,827 --> 01:03:44,861
then with that, uh, after the

2062
01:03:44,861 --> 01:03:46,763
word of contract, as I say,

2063
01:03:46,763 --> 01:03:48,465
mid-AUGUST, uh, where we award

2064
01:03:48,465 --> 01:03:50,167
the contract, then permits have

2065
01:03:50,167 --> 01:03:51,234
to be pulled and, and to get

2066
01:03:51,234 --> 01:03:53,103
the contractor on board and

2067
01:03:53,103 --> 01:03:53,870
ready to go. So either

2068
01:03:53,870 --> 01:03:54,304
realistically, we

2069
01:03:54,304 --> 01:03:54,738
re talking

2070
01:03:54,738 --> 01:03:55,720
maybe we

2071
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:55,940
re we

2072
01:03:55,940 --> 01:03:58,340
ll be ready to

2073
01:03:59,243 --> 01:04:01,111
roll in of AUGUST, uh, early

2074
01:04:01,111 --> 01:04:02,413
SEPTEMBER timeframe, depending

2075
01:04:02,413 --> 01:04:04,949
on how those things move. Uh,

2076
01:04:04,949 --> 01:04:06,683
at a, at a in a, in a guess

2077
01:04:06,683 --> 01:04:08,185
efficient manner. Sometimes you

2078
01:04:08,185 --> 01:04:09,319
get hang up with the contract

2079
01:04:09,319 --> 01:04:11,255
negotiations, things like that.

2080
01:04:11,255 --> 01:04:12,523
So but SEPTEMBER timeframe is

2081
01:04:12,523 --> 01:04:14,558
when we should actually start

2082
01:04:14,558 --> 01:04:15,893
construction. And, then go from

2083
01:04:15,893 --> 01:04:17,428
there. And we will work with

2084
01:04:17,428 --> 01:04:18,629
the contractor. As I mentioned

2085
01:04:18,629 --> 01:04:18,996
last week. Uh, we

2086
01:04:18,996 --> 01:04:20,764
re going to

2087
01:04:20,764 --> 01:04:22,320
be looking at the forecast, if

2088
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:23,968
you will. Uh, what makes the

2089
01:04:23,968 --> 01:04:25,503
most sense? We MAY go in and

2090
01:04:25,503 --> 01:04:27,271
start the pond work and get

2091
01:04:27,271 --> 01:04:28,338
that stuff first, and then

2092
01:04:28,338 --> 01:04:30,507
maybe come back and do

2093
01:04:30,507 --> 01:04:32,577
pavement. If the weather starts

2094
01:04:32,577 --> 01:04:33,978
proving to be worse than what

2095
01:04:33,978 --> 01:04:35,179
we, you know, then where we can

2096
01:04:35,179 --> 01:04:36,647
pay, and we MAY come back in

2097
01:04:36,647 --> 01:04:38,148
early spring to do, do the

2098
01:04:38,148 --> 01:04:38,316
actual road construction, but

2099
01:04:38,316 --> 01:04:39,483
we

2100
01:04:39,483 --> 01:04:40,852
ll work with the contractor,

2101
01:04:40,852 --> 01:04:42,353
look at forecast and see what

2102
01:04:42,353 --> 01:04:42,953
makes the most sense in terms

2103
01:04:42,953 --> 01:04:43,788
of that.

2104
01:04:43,788 --> 01:04:45,623
Thank you Greg.

2105
01:04:45,623 --> 01:04:47,623
Yeah.

2106
01:04:47,825 --> 01:04:48,693
All right. Any other questions?

2107
01:04:48,693 --> 01:04:49,527
If not, there

2108
01:04:49,527 --> 01:04:51,262
s some motions to

2109
01:04:51,262 --> 01:04:52,997
be made. Council member green.

2110
01:04:52,997 --> 01:04:54,332
Thank you. Mayor Ward one is

2111
01:04:54,332 --> 01:04:56,400
really happy about this. And so

2112
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:57,468
therefore I move to approve

2113
01:04:57,468 --> 01:04:58,469
item nine a.

2114
01:04:58,469 --> 01:04:58,602
So is Ward two because it

2115
01:04:58,602 --> 01:05:00,602
s

2116
01:05:03,975 --> 01:05:04,442
technically in Ward two. Yes.

2117
01:05:04,442 --> 01:05:05,510
All right. There

2118
01:05:05,510 --> 01:05:07,510
s one motion

2119
01:05:10,810 --> 01:05:10,547
then Councilmember Fiedler.

2120
01:05:10,547 --> 01:05:11,315
I won

2121
01:05:11,315 --> 01:05:11,682
t mention Ward

2122
01:05:11,682 --> 01:05:12,816
s, but

2123
01:05:12,816 --> 01:05:13,840
there is a former mayor who

2124
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:14,219
s

2125
01:05:14,219 --> 01:05:17,219
really happy about this. This

2126
01:05:17,321 --> 01:05:17,922
is moving forward. So at least

2127
01:05:17,922 --> 01:05:19,900
second.

2128
01:05:19,900 --> 01:05:19,290
All right.

2129
01:05:19,290 --> 01:05:20,558
There

2130
01:05:20,558 --> 01:05:23,461

2131
01:05:23,461 --> 01:05:27,610

2132
01:05:31,102 --> 01:05:33,737
vote. Motion passes 8 to 0 with

2133
01:05:33,737 --> 01:05:34,972
one absent. All right. We might

2134
01:05:34,972 --> 01:05:35,606
be batting a thousand with

2135
01:05:35,606 --> 01:05:36,107
green tonight. We

2136
01:05:36,107 --> 01:05:38,107
ll see what

2137
01:05:38,510 --> 01:05:40,544
happens on this other item.

2138
01:05:40,544 --> 01:05:42,447
Thank you very much, ladies and

2139
01:05:42,447 --> 01:05:43,915
gentlemen. I appreciate it.

2140
01:05:43,915 --> 01:05:45,750
Now, this is the way to

2141
01:05:45,750 --> 01:05:47,180
pressure him, because this is a

2142
01:05:47,180 --> 01:05:48,520

01:06:23,154 --> 01:06:25,356
detention pond. Uh, this

2162
01:06:25,356 --> 01:06:27,356
proposed agreement defines

2163
01:06:27,593 --> 01:06:28,961
roles, easements, right of way,

2164
01:06:28,961 --> 01:06:30,961

01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:33,496
coordination, and long term

2166
01:06:35,133 --> 01:06:37,680
maintenance responsibilities.

2167
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,771
District owns the property at

2168
01:06:39,771 --> 01:06:42,771
88 North 40th Avenue. The city

2169
01:06:42,808 --> 01:06:44,909
will build roadway in a pond

2170
01:06:44,909 --> 01:06:47,309
while maintaining bus access

2171
01:06:48,413 --> 01:06:50,413
throughout construction. Uh

2172
01:06:50,582 --> 01:06:52,117
project components. Stormwater

2173
01:06:52,117 --> 01:06:54,252
conveyance to new detention

2174
01:06:54,252 --> 01:06:56,652
pond. Pond construction and

2175
01:06:56,788 --> 01:06:58,824
site grading. Removal of dirt

2176
01:06:58,824 --> 01:07:00,824
and concrete debris.

2177
01:07:01,590 --> 01:07:03,295
Acquisition of right of way and

2178
01:07:03,295 --> 01:07:05,530
easements shown in exhibits. On

2179
01:07:05,530 --> 01:07:07,365
my next slide. And this is the

2180
01:07:07,365 --> 01:07:07,732
exhibit of the actually right

2181
01:07:07,732 --> 01:07:08,334
of way. There

2182
01:07:08,334 --> 01:07:10,502
s going to be a

2183
01:07:10,502 --> 01:07:11,737
requiring the easements as well

2184
01:07:11,737 --> 01:07:11,903
as temporary easements that

2185
01:07:11,903 --> 01:07:12,872
we

2186
01:07:12,872 --> 01:07:14,273
re going to need during

2187
01:07:14,273 --> 01:07:15,707
construction, and then a

2188
01:07:15,707 --> 01:07:16,808
drainage easement over the

2189
01:07:16,808 --> 01:07:18,210
pond. So those are the

2190
01:07:18,210 --> 01:07:20,780
different colors. Red is pretty

2191
01:07:20,780 --> 01:07:22,614
much right away. Green is

2192
01:07:22,614 --> 01:07:24,500
utility easement. Uh, the the

2193
01:07:24,500 --> 01:07:25,818
yellow is the drainage

2194
01:07:25,818 --> 01:07:26,252
easement. And then the kind of

2195
01:07:26,252 --> 01:07:26,852
I guess doesn

2196
01:07:26,852 --> 01:07:28,720
t look too

2197
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,956
orange, but the, uh, off

2198
01:07:30,956 --> 01:07:32,858
yellow, it would be, um, um,

2199
01:07:32,858 --> 01:07:35,858
the temporary easement we would

2200
01:07:38,230 --> 01:07:40,265
need to clean that area up. Uh,

2201
01:07:40,265 --> 01:07:42,134
the district will convey right

2202
01:07:42,134 --> 01:07:44,169
of way and easements to us. Uh,

2203
01:07:44,169 --> 01:07:47,169
the city will manage the

2204
01:07:49,241 --> 01:07:50,709
construction. The city

2205
01:07:50,709 --> 01:07:52,244
maintains the ponds. For the

2206
01:07:52,244 --> 01:07:53,812
first five years, the district

2207
01:07:53,812 --> 01:07:55,247
will handle mowing. Uh, the

2208
01:07:55,247 --> 01:07:56,849
city will maintain stormwater

2209
01:07:56,849 --> 01:07:59,849
inlet structures for the long

2210
01:08:00,986 --> 01:08:03,689
term. Uh, there are no no new

2211
01:08:03,689 --> 01:08:05,525
long term city obligations that

2212
01:08:05,525 --> 01:08:08,525
the future dredging costs will

2213
01:08:09,195 --> 01:08:11,630
be a cost share with 86%, uh,

2214
01:08:11,630 --> 01:08:12,798
paid by the district, 14%, uh,

2215
01:08:12,798 --> 01:08:15,167
subject to pay by the city,

2216
01:08:15,167 --> 01:08:17,567
subject to annual appropriation.

2217
01:08:17,904 --> 01:08:19,710
Uh, staff is seeking approval

2218
01:08:19,710 --> 01:08:21,607

01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:28,847
Did you say you

2225
01:08:28,847 --> 01:08:29,182
re hoping for

2226
01:08:29,182 --> 01:08:29,315
questions?

2227
01:08:29,315 --> 01:08:30,850
I

Open.

01:08:39,625 --> 01:08:40,727
Thank you. Mayor. No question.

2236
01:08:40,727 --> 01:08:42,528
Just a comment. I mentioned

2237
01:08:42,528 --> 01:08:43,929
former former mayor and current

2238
01:08:43,929 --> 01:08:46,329
chief operations officer Terry

2239
01:08:46,332 --> 01:08:47,867
Lucero by name, but I just did,

2240
01:08:47,867 --> 01:08:49,369
uh, he wanted me to extend his

2241
01:08:49,369 --> 01:08:50,436
thanks to you and staff for

2242
01:08:50,436 --> 01:08:51,837
working through this iga with

2243
01:08:51,837 --> 01:08:52,772
him. Uh, I spoke with him today

2244
01:08:52,772 --> 01:08:54,407
because I knew it was on the

2245
01:08:54,407 --> 01:08:55,608
agenda. Made sure he was

2246
01:08:55,608 --> 01:08:56,909
comfortable, which you probably

2247
01:08:56,909 --> 01:08:58,344
already knew before me that he

2248
01:08:58,344 --> 01:09:01,214
that he is. So I just wanted to

2249
01:09:01,214 --> 01:09:02,548
extend my his thanks to you.

2250
01:09:02,548 --> 01:09:03,850
It was a great. You know, it

2251
01:09:03,850 --> 01:09:05,584
was an eight month effort, but

2252
01:09:05,584 --> 01:09:06,752
it was a I think we all had to

2253
01:09:06,752 --> 01:09:08,788
get an understanding of what we

2254
01:09:08,788 --> 01:09:10,290
needed. And it was a very, I

2255
01:09:10,290 --> 01:09:11,791
think, well received on both

2256
01:09:11,791 --> 01:09:14,160
sides. So we were happy to work

2257
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:14,627

2258
01:09:14,627 --> 01:09:15,294

Appreciate it. Thank you, thank

2281
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:11,417
you.

2282
01:10:11,417 --> 01:10:12,185
All right. There

2283
01:10:12,185 --> 01:10:13,986
s no general

2284
01:10:13,986 --> 01:10:14,120
reports, no utility. So we

2285
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,120
ll

2286
01:10:16,322 --> 01:10:16,456
go on to reports by everybody.

2287
01:10:16,456 --> 01:10:17,390
I

2288
01:10:17,390 --> 01:10:20,793
ll start with the reports by

2289
01:10:20,793 --> 01:10:22,930
the mayor. Two weeks ago was

2290
01:10:22,930 --> 01:10:25,231
our, um, a quarterly ad hoc

2291
01:10:25,231 --> 01:10:26,667
dinner. It was in Arvada. It

2292
01:10:26,667 --> 01:10:28,335
was at a restaurant on the

2293
01:10:28,335 --> 01:10:29,303
Adams County side in Arvada. I

2294
01:10:29,303 --> 01:10:30,503
was the only Brighton

2295
01:10:30,503 --> 01:10:32,239
representative there, but it

2296
01:10:32,239 --> 01:10:35,542
was good to hear updates from

2297
01:10:35,542 --> 01:10:38,311
our peer peer municipalities in

2298
01:10:38,311 --> 01:10:39,780
the area. Um, and just so you

2299
01:10:39,780 --> 01:10:40,980
know, MR. Green, they actually

2300
01:10:40,980 --> 01:10:41,949
had Pepsi products, so you

2301
01:10:41,949 --> 01:10:44,151
would have got a mountain dew

2302
01:10:44,151 --> 01:10:47,751
over there. So you missed out.

2303
01:10:48,521 --> 01:10:50,230
So, um, and we dodged a

2304
01:10:50,230 --> 01:10:52,826
thunderstorm, but, uh, it was

2305
01:10:52,826 --> 01:10:54,294
good. Uh, I also attended,

2306
01:10:54,294 --> 01:10:56,530
obviously, the city barbecue,

2307
01:10:56,530 --> 01:10:57,965
like many of us here. It was

2308
01:10:57,965 --> 01:10:59,632
great to have everybody out,

2309
01:10:59,632 --> 01:11:00,901
despite a little bit of a

2310
01:11:00,901 --> 01:11:02,769
threatening of rain. And then,

2311
01:11:02,769 --> 01:11:04,371
of course, rain kind of started

2312
01:11:04,371 --> 01:11:06,473
towards the end, but it was

2313
01:11:06,473 --> 01:11:08,675
great to interact with a lot of

2314
01:11:08,675 --> 01:11:10,510
the youth that were out there

2315
01:11:10,510 --> 01:11:12,279
selling a lot of the a lot of

2316
01:11:12,279 --> 01:11:14,448
the goods that they had either

2317
01:11:14,448 --> 01:11:15,983
made or put together or

2318
01:11:15,983 --> 01:11:18,653
whatever they did, and it

2319
01:11:18,653 --> 01:11:20,654
teaches them how to create, um,

2320
01:11:20,654 --> 01:11:21,989
you know, that entrepreneurial

2321
01:11:21,989 --> 01:11:23,924
spirit. And it was it was just

2322
01:11:23,924 --> 01:11:26,693
a fabulous, uh, showing from

2323
01:11:26,693 --> 01:11:29,696
the youth. So good job for them

2324
01:11:29,696 --> 01:11:31,320
that the, uh, police swearing

2325
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:32,299
in ceremony, they do those a

2326
01:11:32,299 --> 01:11:33,601
couple times a year with new

2327
01:11:33,601 --> 01:11:36,100
officers coming in or

2328
01:11:36,604 --> 01:11:36,837
promotions or staff coming in,

2329
01:11:36,837 --> 01:11:37,938
and it

2330
01:11:37,938 --> 01:11:40,607
s good to honor those

2331
01:11:40,607 --> 01:11:41,876
that are serving in, uh, you

2332
01:11:41,876 --> 01:11:44,244
know, serving as our first

2333
01:11:44,244 --> 01:11:46,981
responder. Uh, last week we had

2334
01:11:46,981 --> 01:11:49,150
the ribbon cutting to the a470

2335
01:11:49,150 --> 01:11:51,185
and Sable interchange. It was

2336
01:11:51,185 --> 01:11:52,586
good to get that open. Uh, last

2337
01:11:52,586 --> 01:11:53,721
time I drove by, I think the

2338
01:11:53,721 --> 01:11:55,323
lights were flashing, so I

2339
01:11:55,323 --> 01:11:56,189
think those will be going solid

2340
01:11:56,189 --> 01:11:56,323
really soon, if they haven

2341
01:11:56,323 --> 01:11:58,323
t

2342
01:11:59,226 --> 01:12:01,662
already, then, uh, I was at

2343
01:12:01,662 --> 01:12:03,464
the, uh, metro Denver State of

2344
01:12:03,464 --> 01:12:05,399
the cities address. Um, what

2345
01:12:05,399 --> 01:12:07,670
was interesting about that is,

2346
01:12:07,670 --> 01:12:09,300
uh, the the mayor of Denver was

2347
01:12:09,300 --> 01:12:10,605
not there, but they had a panel

2348
01:12:10,605 --> 01:12:12,706
of other mayors throughout the

2349
01:12:12,706 --> 01:12:14,409
area talking about, uh, you

2350
01:12:14,409 --> 01:12:16,760
know, the collaboration of

2351
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:17,878
cities in the, in the region.

2352
01:12:17,878 --> 01:12:19,647
And it was good to be a part of

2353
01:12:19,647 --> 01:12:21,549
that. I was, uh, they they get

2354
01:12:21,549 --> 01:12:23,217
people to do a host table. And

2355
01:12:23,217 --> 01:12:25,253
so I encourage you all the next

2356
01:12:25,253 --> 01:12:26,987
opportunity to, to do that if,

2357
01:12:26,987 --> 01:12:29,357
uh, if becoming a host table

2358
01:12:29,357 --> 01:12:29,690
opens up again next year, it

2359
01:12:29,690 --> 01:12:31,690
s

2360
01:12:33,694 --> 01:12:36,530
also at the chambers Cinerama

2361
01:12:36,530 --> 01:12:38,299
event. Uh, Cinerama for like,

2362
01:12:38,299 --> 01:12:40,401
probably several years in a

2363
01:12:40,401 --> 01:12:41,902
row, puts on a great networking

2364
01:12:41,902 --> 01:12:43,938
event. They involve four of the

2365
01:12:43,938 --> 01:12:45,840
area chambers, and it was good

2366
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:47,642
to interact with so many of

2367
01:12:47,642 --> 01:12:49,710
our, even a lot of our friends

2368
01:12:49,710 --> 01:12:51,112
from the surrounding chambers.

2369
01:12:51,112 --> 01:12:52,146
And so good job on them. I

2370
01:12:52,146 --> 01:12:53,247
think it was their 20th

2371
01:12:53,247 --> 01:12:55,249
anniversary, if I remember

2372
01:12:55,249 --> 01:12:56,684
right. And then, uh,

2373
01:12:56,684 --> 01:12:57,851
unofficially, I took my family

2374
01:12:57,851 --> 01:12:58,953
to the county fair. That just

2375
01:12:58,953 --> 01:13:00,554
happened over the weekend. It

2376
01:13:00,554 --> 01:13:01,122
was good to see what

2377
01:13:01,122 --> 01:13:03,122
s at the

2378
01:13:03,891 --> 01:13:04,959
fair and and partake of the fun

2379
01:13:04,959 --> 01:13:07,462
activities they have at the

2380
01:13:07,462 --> 01:13:07,695
fair on Friday. Tomorrow I

2381
01:13:07,695 --> 01:13:09,695
ll

2382
01:13:10,197 --> 01:13:10,532
be at my, uh, Metro mayor

2383
01:13:10,532 --> 01:13:12,200
s

2384
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,335
caucus. We have our, uh,

2385
01:13:14,335 --> 01:13:16,270
meeting tomorrow morning. Um,

2386
01:13:16,270 --> 01:13:17,438
and, uh, supposedly there will

2387
01:13:17,438 --> 01:13:18,640
be a member of the media there

2388
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:20,441
that will be interviewing some

2389
01:13:20,441 --> 01:13:22,243
of us and talking about the

2390
01:13:22,243 --> 01:13:24,450
importance of a regional

2391
01:13:24,450 --> 01:13:24,946
collaboration. So look out for

2392
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:25,513
that. I think it

2393
01:13:25,513 --> 01:13:27,513
ll be like

2394
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:29,117
nine news or something. So

2395
01:13:29,117 --> 01:13:29,651
next, uh, let

2396
01:13:29,651 --> 01:13:31,352
s go on to

2397
01:13:31,352 --> 01:13:32,521
reports by any department

2398
01:13:32,521 --> 01:13:33,755
directors. And by the way, when

2399
01:13:33,755 --> 01:13:35,230
Marv is in that seat, he got

2400
01:13:35,230 --> 01:13:37,580
like a lot of department

2401
01:13:37,580 --> 01:13:39,494
directors to speak. So how are

2402
01:13:39,494 --> 01:13:40,395
you going to one up that one?

2403
01:13:40,395 --> 01:13:40,829
Apparently I can

2404
01:13:40,829 --> 01:13:41,930
t even get

2405
01:13:41,930 --> 01:13:44,566
department of directors to show

2406
01:13:44,566 --> 01:13:46,670
up for my meetings. So MISTER

2407
01:13:46,670 --> 01:13:47,802
Falkenburg is much. Well, I

2408
01:13:47,802 --> 01:13:49,937
have four, okay. I have four.

2409
01:13:49,937 --> 01:13:51,739
Well, one, two, three, four, I

2410
01:13:51,739 --> 01:13:52,941
have four, we have 14.

2411
01:13:52,941 --> 01:13:54,576
We could just call them up and

2412
01:13:54,576 --> 01:13:56,770
probably and see what.

2413
01:13:56,770 --> 01:13:57,179
Happens. I think we need

2414
01:13:57,179 --> 01:14:00,715
Armando to come back up and

2415
01:14:00,715 --> 01:14:02,851

01:15:03,546 --> 01:15:04,780
opens the door for more

2459
01:15:04,780 --> 01:15:05,213

2466
01:15:15,524 --> 01:15:16,910
duties. Uh, I don

2467
01:15:16,910 --> 01:15:17,260
t have much

2468
01:15:17,260 --> 01:15:18,895
of an update. I know that there

2469
01:15:18,895 --> 01:15:21,663
was a question last week as to

2470
01:15:21,663 --> 01:15:24,660
when the temporary light would

2471
01:15:24,660 --> 01:15:25,100
be removed on Sable, and I know

2472
01:15:25,100 --> 01:15:26,669
the answer that was given at

2473
01:15:26,669 --> 01:15:27,803
the meeting was soon. It was a

2474
01:15:27,803 --> 01:15:29,739
technical answer. Literally

2475
01:15:29,739 --> 01:15:31,840
soon, uh, soon actually means

2476
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:33,942
today. I was just informed that

2477
01:15:33,942 --> 01:15:35,444
it is it has been removed. So

2478
01:15:35,444 --> 01:15:37,613
that portion of the project has

2479
01:15:37,613 --> 01:15:38,780
been complete. However, we

2480
01:15:38,780 --> 01:15:40,816
still have a long way to go

2481
01:15:40,816 --> 01:15:41,651
with the two intersections, so

2482
01:15:41,651 --> 01:15:41,917
more to come there, but at

2483
01:15:41,917 --> 01:15:42,852
least we

2484
01:15:42,852 --> 01:15:44,786
ve removed one of the

2485
01:15:44,786 --> 01:15:46,489
barriers and moving on to other

2486
01:15:46,489 --> 01:15:47,657
projects. Uh, finally, I just

2487
01:15:47,657 --> 01:15:49,758
want to give some thanks. I

2488
01:15:49,758 --> 01:15:50,250
want to thank Marvin, Karen for

2489
01:15:50,250 --> 01:15:50,693

2494
01:15:56,398 --> 01:15:57,499

2496
01:15:59,268 --> 01:16:00,680

2523
01:16:36,506 --> 01:16:37,940

2524
01:16:37,940 --> 01:16:39,842
make it easier for me to get to

2525
01:16:39,842 --> 01:16:41,440

01:16:41,440 --> 01:16:42,245
lot of interesting products.

2527
01:16:42,245 --> 01:16:44,800
They did a great job, and that

2528
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:45,470

01:16:45,470 --> 01:16:45,185

2654
01:19:48,132 --> 01:19:51,102
to write it down. So I need to

2655
01:19:51,102 --> 01:19:52,870
remember when that is. Um, you

2656
01:19:52,870 --> 01:19:55,600
know, I, uh, single handedly

2657
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,600
keep the fair vendors in

2658
01:19:58,750 --> 01:19:58,309
business. Um, I, I feel it

2659
01:19:58,309 --> 01:19:58,609
s my

2660
01:19:58,609 --> 01:19:59,677
duty. It

2661
01:19:59,677 --> 01:20:00,878

01:20:00,878 --> 01:20:02,146
sample them all, to tell you

2663
01:20:02,146 --> 01:20:04,415
which ones were the best. And I

01:21:29,434 --> 01:21:32,470
us progress in the, um, in the

2724
01:21:32,470 --> 01:21:34,500
building of that corridor. Um,

2725
01:21:34,500 --> 01:21:35,730
had a meeting with, with Jean

2726
01:21:35,730 --> 01:21:36,241

01:21:40,112 --> 01:21:42,347
Uh, we were talking about the,

2730
01:21:42,347 --> 01:21:44,747

2731
01:21:44,749 --> 01:21:46,119

re

2734
01:21:47,285 --> 01:21:49,287
going to really be pushing for

2735
01:21:49,287 --> 01:21:50,722
a complete plan for the

2736
01:21:50,722 --> 01:21:52,257
corridor right now, that

2737
01:21:52,257 --> 01:21:53,125
coalition seems to work in

2738
01:21:53,125 --> 01:21:53,758
silos. Everybody

2739
01:21:53,758 --> 01:21:54,960
s just

2740
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:57,360
concerned about their own

2741
01:21:57,762 --> 01:21:59,731
little piece of highway seven,

2742
01:21:59,731 --> 01:21:59,932
which is, uh, really, that

2743
01:21:59,932 --> 01:22:01,932
s a

2744
01:22:02,670 --> 01:22:03,168
lot of silos. But we really

2745
01:22:03,168 --> 01:22:05,303
want to get them to really

2746
01:22:05,303 --> 01:22:07,138
start focusing on the long

2747
01:22:07,138 --> 01:22:10,138
range, um, importance of that

2748
01:22:10,375 --> 01:22:12,844
corridor. And so will be, uh,

2749
01:22:12,844 --> 01:22:15,346
uh, bringing up and and

2750
01:22:15,346 --> 01:22:16,848
reinforcing a couple ideas, uh,

2751
01:22:16,848 --> 01:22:18,750
involving Brighton and the bus

2752
01:22:18,750 --> 01:22:19,584
centers and things like that.

2753
01:22:19,584 --> 01:22:20,285
Um, so we

2754
01:22:20,285 --> 01:22:20,652
ll be, uh, that

2755
01:22:20,652 --> 01:22:22,652
ll be

2756
01:22:23,655 --> 01:22:26,655
this coming Friday, I believe.

2757
01:22:27,293 --> 01:22:29,270
Um, and then, uh, probably the

2758
01:22:29,270 --> 01:22:29,161
biggest thing did all week, uh,

2759
01:22:29,161 --> 01:22:30,429
