Um, I just wanted to 48 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:56,080 publicly recognize uh Kyle Hammude as our new sergeant for the Brisbane Police 49 00:02:52,160 --> 00:03:00,480 Department. Um, we had testing. Uh, he was a successful candidate. A little 50 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:05,120 background, Kyle. He's been here for about 10 years as a full-time and was 51 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:10,560 here I'm not sure the time as a reserve prior to that. Uh, he I appreciate the 52 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:16,720 fact that he has picked up the slack. He's been our only patrol supervisor for 53 00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:20,239 the last six, eight months and basically doing a couple different roles. And you 54 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,000 wouldn't think there would be that much to do department 11 officers, but you 55 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,840 know, he's checking all the boards, making sure the schedule's done. So, 56 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:32,319 he's he's done a lot of work, a little bit of sal. So, uh he's been in the role 57 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,040 for about a month. We were going to do it at the last council meeting, but 58 00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:41,120 because of everything that was on agenda, we decided to wait. So, um so 59 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,680 he's our new target. Hopefully, near future, we'll be adding at least a 60 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,879 corporal, not two, spots for patrol supervisors. So hopefully soon we can 61 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,799 introduce a couple more officers for you. 62 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,799 » Thank you. 63 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:12,439 » Congratulations.

Uh, this is 343 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:22,159 involved some uh discussion that we had um earlier this week with regards to uh 344 00:24:17,919 --> 00:24:27,360 the the funds that were established to u support the river golf course. Uh 345 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:34,120 there's two funds uh that were uh that were opened. Um one has a an amount of 346 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,120 about $563,775. 347 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:42,720 The other about $72,228. Uh there's a a process that's provided 348 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:47,600 for under statute where when municipal funds are considered dormant, um 349 00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:52,480 essentially the the fund that that uh was created uh no longer serves the 350 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:55,840 purpose for which it was created. um those funds can be rolled back into 351 00:24:54,159 --> 00:25:01,120 either the general fund or the rainy day fund. Uh so the ordinance here takes 352 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:06,640 those um both of those funds eliminates them and rolls that money into rainy day 353 00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:10,559 fund. Uh as a timing component um this would be effective upon the transfer of 354 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:15,520 the river golf course. Uh so council will recall that the operator is there. 355 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:19,279 Um there are some outstanding details of some of the economic development 356 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:22,320 questions. Uh so once that transfers those funds will be eliminated and the 357 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:26,559 clerk treasurer will be authorized pursuant to this ordinance to roll the 358 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,880 money in the rain day. Uh that's the ordinance in a nutshell. 359 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:35,520 Uh happy to answer any specific questions you may have. Okay. 360 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:40,559 » Um procedurally procedurally you can do this one of two ways. Uh there there is 361 00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:46,400 no public uh hearing component to this ordinance. So, if you're so inclined, uh 362 00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:50,559 you can wave uh second reading and adopt on first. Alternatively, if you prefer 363 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,039 to to hear it again, uh at your first meeting in September, you can do that as 364 00:25:51,919 --> 00:26:00,400 well. >> Okay. Anybody opposed to just going 365 00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:05,039 regular route doing two readings? Single readings. 366 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:10,799 » I don't know. Maybe have two readings. You have two 367 00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:14,400 » and doesn't matter either way to me. And anybody opposed to It's not 368 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:18,559 required, but anybody opposed to opening a public hearing regarding this 369 00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:22,000 ordinance? >> Not opposed to. 370 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:25,120 » No. Okay. Procedurally, do we have to do anything in the agenda or do we can just 371 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:29,279 open the public hearing? >> Well, I mean, as far as to hear it 372 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,200 tonight or to hear it um >> Well, tonight and maybe the next 373 00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:35,919 meeting. >> Uh and at the evening at the uh meeting 374 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,400 this evening, if you wanted to invite public comment, uh you certainly could, 375 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:44,320 but >> Okay. Uh if you 376 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:48,400 the more effective means I would say would be if 377 00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:52,240 you were to publish a notice to say that this would be considered at the next 378 00:26:49,679 --> 00:26:54,480 meeting. Um that would provide a true public hearing component. 379 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,600 » Okay. >> Uh if you so desire 380 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,640 » or we could do one tonight and the next meeting. 381 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,159 » Absolutely. >> Okay. 382 00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:05,679 » I'm confused why we're going to do that. >> So people can come in if they need to or 383 00:27:03,919 --> 00:27:09,840 want to. Gives everybody the opportunity. Well, I Yes, but I mean 384 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,279 it's just moving funds, correct? >> Well, there's been some question about 385 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,480 it. >> Oh, there has? Yeah. Well, see, I 386 00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:17,440 haven't heard anything about that. So, if there's been question about it, of 387 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,960 course, we need to answer those questions. 388 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,360 » Yeah, >> good idea. 389 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,240 » Okay. >> Well, before we do the ordinance, then 390 00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:31,760 um I'm going to open up a public hearing with regard to the um dormant funds for 391 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,400 the Raper Health course.
