1
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,140
530 PM, a regular scheduled council meeting. They get a roll call, please.

2
00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:01,860
7 Council members are present. Vice Mayor Brumman is participating via Zoom. Vice Mayor, can you hear us?

3
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:14,560
Well, we're having some audio problems before, but we know that she's hooked up, so she is with us.

4
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:20,200
Okay, we're going to start with the invocation. Our pastor could not make it tonight, so, Grace, do you know what I'm saying?

5
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,320
Thank you for the time that we can come together as a community.

6
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:37,240
Please give all of us that are up here with them and guidance as we listen to the people

7
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,140
that we represent.

8
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,960
And thank you for this opportunity.

9
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:40,600
Thank you.

10
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,900
Thank you.

11
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:43,300
Good morning.

12
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:45,980
Good morning.

13
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:46,340
Good morning.

14
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,300
Good morning.

15
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:48,440
Good morning.

16
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,500
Good morning.

17
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:50,600
Good morning.

18
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Good morning.

19
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,600
Please be seated.

20
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,680
We're going to start tonight off with Call of the Public.

21
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,420
Anyone like to come up?

22
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,560
Yes, ma'am?

23
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:14,140
Sure.

24
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Hello.

25
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:35,400
Good evening.

26
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,420
My name is Mr. David.

27
00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:39,560
I've been a resident for about two years now.

28
00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:48,100
But just recently I've come to learn of some things that I'd like to bring before you

29
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:59,200
I'm passing out just informational websites and organizations that are helping J6 political prisoners.

30
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:07,100
And I would appreciate the ribbons or representing them to be released and the orange is that they still

31
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:19,400
in Carson, after over 700 and 70 odd days, good evening, residents and city council members

32
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,600
in Mayer.

33
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:28,420
I am here to speak of the injustices that are ramparts in our country and our state right now.

34
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:34,320
We have an illegitimate, impersonating governor who needs to be removed from office.

35
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:40,940
We have political hostages from January 6 that are detained without speedy trial and

36
00:03:40,940 --> 00:03:41,700
do process.

37
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,160
Each defend it needs to be released.

38
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:50,920
The process Cursion needs to cease until special select committees can expose the truth.

39
00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:58,980
The events of January 6 was merely a protest of a proof permitted event to protect our

40
00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:06,720
public from a fraudulent, uncertified, and non-recounted presidential election of 2020.

41
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:15,560
I ask you to read over the fires. I have presented to go to the websites, to come to your

42
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,820
own conclusions of the J6 political hostages and the travel states that have a reason since

43
00:04:21,820 --> 00:04:31,280
January 6th, 2021. Please take note that of the 1,000 arrests that have been made since

44
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:41,920
January 21st of 2021, 10% of those are veterans who are being targeted, abused with

45
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,720
curled and unjust punishments due to their honored status of serving our great country.

46
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:55,600
I'll take a moment to point out a couple who were there praying with their heads about, in front

47
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,580
of the barricades, and in front of the capital, not behind the barricades, not within the

48
00:05:01,580 --> 00:05:02,880
capital itself.

49
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:07,380
They were tacked from behind with their belt heads,

50
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,000
with the taunts from an officer.

51
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:23,000
When Julie's went to defend herself and her husband, she was grabbed and yanked to be brought over the barricade.

52
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:28,040
Citizen had to go in physically yank her from the grasp of the officer.

53
00:05:29,540 --> 00:05:32,060
Come to two months later.

54
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,620
They were woken.

55
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,460
May I have more time, sir?

56
00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:47,840
that's your time. I'm sorry. Okay. If I can ask you, whether it's you, you can't do that. I'm sorry.

57
00:05:48,740 --> 00:05:50,500
Okay. That's your time. Sorry. I'm sorry.

58
00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:54,560
And we're going to continue with the call of public. I just want to make an announcement that I kind

59
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,500
of got to help myself. We have a population. We're going to do immediately following the call of the public.

60
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,740
So next we would like to come up and speak.

61
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,860
Good evening everybody. My name is Donna Doyle. I'm on the Board of Directors for the St.

62
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:16,700
organization. Thank you for allowing me to come up. First of all, I want to thank everyone

63
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:22,120
up there about the new shelter that's being planned and built. That's a wonderful

64
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,940
addition to our community and it will help a lot of animals while they are in there

65
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:40,840
to be housed more comfortably. My next but information is shelters are great and they're

66
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:51,080
to decrease. Over 20,000 animals per day in this country are going into shelters, 70% breast

67
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:58,000
being recognized for space. How do you change that? Spay a neuter. So we have committed

68
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,840
as an organization, along with talking with the shelter, to start doing low-cost and

69
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:10,220
three spade neuters more aggressively for the city of Bullhead residents only.

70
00:07:11,220 --> 00:07:14,020
This way we can at least make a dent in the population.

71
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,740
If you don't know the statistics, one female cat in seven years, along with her offspring,

72
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:28,100
produces 370,000 animals, kittens, and our community, and every community.

73
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:34,100
a female dog and her pups, 67,000 are added to that population.

74
00:07:34,940 --> 00:07:40,880
So if we start decreasing the population for unborn, just being unborn, we can solve a lot

75
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,500
of that.

76
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,460
So I met with Jeff and Ali today and we are going to start aggressively donating money into

77
00:07:48,460 --> 00:07:53,720
the Spaniarder programs and taking some of the population out of the area.

78
00:07:53,720 --> 00:08:01,720
Along with that, the backyard breeding really needs to be addressed, that should not be allowed in our community, and we're hoping that

79
00:08:02,660 --> 00:08:05,320
along with law enforcement that can be addressed.

80
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,540
We're willing to do anything it takes to help the animals live a better life.

81
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,660
And we are committed as our mission going forward to improving the lives of the animals here.

82
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:16,320
Thank you.

83
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:16,980
Thank you.

84
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:21,980
Next.

85
00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:33,480
Steven Lee, I'm behalf of Voices for Freedom. Thank you, Mayor. I think

86
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:41,740
one for being participating in our group and we have so many things that we're dealing

87
00:08:41,740 --> 00:08:49,660
with right now. I'm going to be leaving the council meeting early today to see if Tucker

88
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:53,480
Carlson actually makes it on the air.

89
00:08:53,900 --> 00:09:02,560
Chuck Schumer and Mitch McCuckle are trying to literally get him pulled as his

90
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:08,920
Jean-Pierre and the Biden administration trying to force box from him airing his

91
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,420
show tonight on the grounds of what-in-quote capital security.

92
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:25,040
So, that's one thing that's going on, and I think that although people by now on Council,

93
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:32,020
the mayor, everybody here has got to see that what have been pointing out has its basis

94
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:41,040
in fact, and has proven true over time, and I would really hope that all of us here can

95
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:48,340
do our best to try and come together and understand what's going on, what we're dealing with,

96
00:09:48,460 --> 00:09:56,360
and how we as a community can best prepare ourselves to survive, what is literally an

97
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,120
attack on our survival.

98
00:09:59,540 --> 00:10:07,460
And I really hope that that's the case and that we can work together to do things like

99
00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:14,960
to grow food locally, do more things with Mahavi Electric to generate power locally, and make

100
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,540
this a true least sustainable community.

101
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:27,100
On a very important, called Action Note, we've got to stop the digital currency.

102
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:39,760
members of Congress are seeking to enact legislation to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing

103
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:46,900
a digital currency which would decimate personal privacy and implement a full-fledged surveillance

104
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:56,140
state. HR-1122 titled the CBDC, which stands for Central Bank Digital Currency, Anti-Surveillance

105
00:10:56,140 --> 00:11:03,660
Act, is sponsored by Tom Emer, Republican of Minnesota, and co-sponsored by nine other

106
00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:11,180
representatives. If enacted, this would ban the Central Bank Digital Currency. For example,

107
00:11:11,180 --> 00:11:20,080
states except as specifically authorized under this act, a Federal Reserve may not offer products

108
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:27,000
or services directly to an individual to maintain an account on behalf of an individual or

109
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,600
issue a central, digital currency directly to an individual. The Board of Governors of the Federal

110
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:41,100
Reserve System open market committee may not use the central bank digital currency to implement

111
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:49,780
monetary policy. In a press release, announcing, announcing HR-1122's introduction, representative

112
00:11:49,780 --> 00:11:56,340
Andy Biggs stated, a government-run digital currency presents a real threat to Americans

113
00:11:56,340 --> 00:12:03,400
freedom to use their hard earned money and fundamentally to the value of that money. Embers

114
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,720
bill ends the threat before it can begin.

115
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:15,560
From big tech censorship to COVID mandates now regulating digital currencies, unelected bureaucrats

116
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,580
continue to push our nation towards an authoritarian state.

117
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:22,120
This road behavior must stop.

118
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,000
This legislation gets us closer to achieving that.

119
00:12:29,380 --> 00:12:34,800
A digital currency is a major imminent threat to America's liberty and privacy.

120
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:43,020
The deep state has been planning a digital currency for many years due to the control over people that it would gain.

121
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:50,320
In fact, a digital currency is a crucial component of the great reset plan to control humanity.

122
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:57,980
Ultimately, the Federal Reserve, a blatantly unconstitutional agency, must be completely abolished

123
00:12:57,980 --> 00:13:01,300
in the United States must return to constitutional money.

124
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:06,200
However, HR-1122 are first good steps

125
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,740
that would protect our privacy and liberty.

126
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,160
Contact your U.S. representative and senators

127
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:17,480
to urge that they enact the CBDC Anti-Surveillance Act

128
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,440
HR-1122 and to oppose the creation of digital currency

129
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,600
as I have.

130
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,460
We'll have City representatives contact.

131
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,600
Paul Goesar 48-0, 182-265.

132
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:32,300
Thank you.

133
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,520
Kristen, you're welcome.

134
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,300
I'm pleased to have you.

135
00:13:34,460 --> 00:13:35,860
Thank you.

136
00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:43,490
Good evening, Mayor.

137
00:13:43,630 --> 00:13:44,250
Dear me, go.

138
00:13:44,730 --> 00:13:47,550
Council members and City officials.

139
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:54,870
Before I get started, I'm here to impact tonight represents Saint and our next upcoming event.

140
00:13:54,970 --> 00:13:59,510
But I want to thank Toby Cotter, which two Council meetings ago.

141
00:13:59,510 --> 00:14:13,470
He spoke about the burrows and what they're doing with them and I was really happy to hear that that they're gathering them because I'm up at Dolphin Ranch quite often and I was so worried every time I went up there because there was like herds of them right in the road.

142
00:14:13,710 --> 00:14:25,850
So thank you Toby for that. Anyway, our next event is in honor of Nikki Reagan and she was fabulous. We love Nikki. She was our marketing director for Saint for a good time.

143
00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:28,230
And she, of course, passed away.

144
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:31,310
So we're honoring her at the wiggle waggle walk.

145
00:14:31,970 --> 00:14:33,870
And we want to invite all of you out there.

146
00:14:33,870 --> 00:14:38,210
It's March 25th, 10 to 2 at Rotary Park.

147
00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:41,930
And Steve, Steve, Mary, excuse me.

148
00:14:41,930 --> 00:14:43,250
I'm so used to just Steve.

149
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:47,110
We'll be there with his dog doing the walk.

150
00:14:47,290 --> 00:14:48,670
I heard that today.

151
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:49,570
So great.

152
00:14:49,710 --> 00:14:51,710
You'll be there at 1 o'clock, walking the walk

153
00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:52,750
with one of their dogs.

154
00:14:53,270 --> 00:14:55,110
And also we're going to have Walter,

155
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:59,790
the orphan burrow there. And he's going to be of course a big hit with everybody.

156
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:29,940
Audults are ten dollars children five to do the walk. Pets, of course, are free. And I hope you'll all take time to come out there. We need to raise some money for all these animals that Donna Doyle are saving life's director is getting lots of calls on medical. We always do, and we need that money to still keep coming in. So I hope you will. Real quickly, I want to thank APL. That's Arizona pipeline. I don't know if anybody's listening out there that belongs to that organization.

157
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,900
but they did a fabulous job on my gas lines and I've never seen guys work so hard they should

158
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:41,000
be getting paid more than the football players. That's for sure. So thank you very much and

159
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,460
everybody have a good night and I hope I see you at wiggle waggle. Thank you.

160
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:57,920
Good evening. My name is

161
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:04,280
Grace Faustner and I'm a resident of Bullhead City. I would like to discuss issues concerning the

162
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,740
Bullhead City nutrition center. The staff and volunteers were tirelessly to provide an environment

163
00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:16,360
that is welcoming and help seniors manage issues with health, home, nutrition.

164
00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:21,640
Many seniors spend the day in the environment instead of staying home alone.

165
00:16:22,140 --> 00:16:27,740
Breakfast, lunch, craft, games, and exercise our daily activities.

166
00:16:28,260 --> 00:16:31,280
Extra items are provided for seniors to take home.

167
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,680
A lot of them offer bread, some canned goods, fruit and vegetables that the community stores

168
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,520
and other services provide to supplement seniors' nutritional budget.

169
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:48,780
During this time of year, an influx of snowbirds, citizens new to the area and homeless

170
00:16:48,780 --> 00:16:51,300
individuals need these services.

171
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,840
There are professionals, there are professional volunteers too, they take the time out of

172
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:03,640
their busy schedule to provide medical programs, military information, how to use a computer,

173
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:11,180
a cell phone, provide games, how to sew, quilt, paint, make crafts and much more, and their

174
00:17:11,180 --> 00:17:17,380
services are free to the seniors. These opportunities are invaluable to our senior community.

175
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:25,120
Several years ago, a plan was put in place to expand the space of the building with and extension.

176
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:32,320
This project is really needed now. New visitors to the center have caused an increase in the need

177
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,400
for these services.

178
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,740
There are times when some of the activities have to be moved

179
00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:39,800
to a different location to accommodate the activity.

180
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:44,160
It is difficult to change habit when you are this age,

181
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:46,820
and it does cause confusion.

182
00:17:47,460 --> 00:17:50,400
Please consider updating your timetable for this

183
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,500
to happen sooner than later.

184
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,780
And lastly, with all the new visitors to the center,

185
00:17:57,060 --> 00:18:00,220
volunteers are desperately needed to help prepare

186
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:04,720
for the influx of seniors, for breakfast, lunch, and meals on wheels.

187
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,180
If any of you folks out in TV land need something to do,

188
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,240
the Nutrition Center could use your elbow grease to help the

189
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,420
center to continue the outstanding job they do.

190
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,640
It is a meaningful and rewarding volunteer opportunity.

191
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Thank you for your time and consideration.

192
00:18:23,540 --> 00:18:24,160
Thank you.

193
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:48,120
Hello, everyone. Hello, mayor. So good to see you all. I'm Jean Brooks. I'm the founder of

194
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:54,780
Saint, saving animals and need together. And I just wanted to speak a little bit about

195
00:18:54,780 --> 00:19:08,080
the animals that are abused and neglected. This has to stop. I do know that I have, I've never

196
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,020
stopped. I've not on the board anymore, but I have never stopped and I never will

197
00:19:13,020 --> 00:19:22,480
caring for the animals and helping them in need. So I, there were, there are two

198
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,580
little Chihuahas that have been living outside for over seven years now. And I

199
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:35,760
tried to get help for them, but nobody, I mean, as far as calling the police and

200
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:46,680
the shelter back then, they said there was nothing they could do, which to me, we're in one of the hottest and coldest states.

201
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:50,060
So there needs to be a difference between laws.

202
00:19:52,180 --> 00:19:57,860
So anyway, we need to find out where there's dog fighting.

203
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:05,020
That is so cruel, and I've tried to find out I call the police department, the fire department,

204
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,080
the airport, and nobody can tell me.

205
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:16,060
It's indoors, but isn't there some way that we can find out where it is and get this stopped?

206
00:20:19,860 --> 00:20:23,800
So, I am very happy about the new shelter.

207
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,320
I, that's awesome, and they will be happier as well.

208
00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:39,440
So also, if, if anybody knows anyone or needs to have their pets fan neutered,

209
00:20:40,660 --> 00:20:43,980
I have brochures with me and I'll be happy to pass them out.

210
00:20:44,420 --> 00:20:45,820
So please let me know.

211
00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:53,660
And it's just, if you, I don't know if you get the newspaper or not,

212
00:20:53,660 --> 00:21:02,500
So my letter to the editor was in last Tuesday and I hope it woke some people up about

213
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:09,800
what's happening when they leave them outside 24-7, no food, no water, no shelter and this

214
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:16,580
is not right, this is not fair and like I said, if you're not treating them like if you can't

215
00:21:16,580 --> 00:21:22,280
treat them like family then don't have them, they are family and that's the way it is

216
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,320
And that's the way it should be.

217
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:29,060
So I just hope and pray that we can get some,

218
00:21:29,580 --> 00:21:32,180
oh, I thought my phone was off, I'm sorry.

219
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:34,480
Oh, my phone's not even working.

220
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Well, anyway.

221
00:21:37,620 --> 00:21:41,880
So, but I just wanted to say thank you to everybody

222
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,960
that is being such awesome tech owners,

223
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,960
because that's the way it should be.

224
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,080
Thank you so much.

225
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,080
Thank you.

226
00:21:57,580 --> 00:21:58,000
Next.

227
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:06,980
Good evening, everyone.

228
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,120
Oh, that's true.

229
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:09,580
That's it?

230
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:09,960
Okay.

231
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:12,560
Thank you so much.

232
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,520
I'll send you the bill.

233
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,420
Mike, my honor president of River fun.

234
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,400
Thank you for that warm welcome.

235
00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:32,280
I just came to visit tonight to share some really good news with you folks, everyone.

236
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:38,880
We're going to do a fundraiser, and we've got a lot of them in the past, but we've always

237
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,100
had a big crowd this had to help us, something like the casino or something along those

238
00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:50,380
lines that can has a manpower because we're a staff of five and a board of 13.

239
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,540
We came up with a dream.

240
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:57,160
We've got an issue going on with unrestricted funds.

241
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:09,200
That's one category that's really, really, really important just like they all are, but they're not dedicated restricted funds like a cancer fund or memory fund or money like that.

242
00:23:09,820 --> 00:23:24,560
This is the fund that takes care of things like birth certificates and like a bus ticket to move to another place where they can have a home, or any other thing that is not a grant.

243
00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:33,260
And we lost quite a bit of money by going through that period of the pandemic, where we had

244
00:23:33,260 --> 00:23:38,100
a lot of people that used to donate to us that haven't been able to anymore because they

245
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:39,740
were going through payroll deduction.

246
00:23:40,140 --> 00:23:45,380
And when their business went out of business or are quit for a while, when the casinos were

247
00:23:45,380 --> 00:23:48,480
down, we lost those folks.

248
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:54,600
they went to other jobs or they changed the casinos and they didn't sign up again or

249
00:23:54,600 --> 00:24:01,740
what any number of things. The bottom line is we have really stressed that unrestricted fund

250
00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:10,140
really, really low. And we need to put some bucks back in the war chest. So April 15 is a big

251
00:24:10,140 --> 00:24:14,620
And we're going to be out at Bohec Community Park.

252
00:24:15,380 --> 00:24:18,640
And we're going to somehow drop 5,000 ducks in the river.

253
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,160
And the last these ducks were used during 2018.

254
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:31,320
And I think at the time it was either a cancer event,

255
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,100
or it was habitat for humanity or one of those other charities.

256
00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:38,980
But you would not believe what shaped these things were.

257
00:24:38,980 --> 00:24:42,980
And I thought they would all be dried up and we're going to have to throw them away, but

258
00:24:42,980 --> 00:24:44,040
they were really in good shape.

259
00:24:45,060 --> 00:24:46,340
So we got them out in the count of them.

260
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,840
We have all 5,000.

261
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,820
And we're going to start at Second Street.

262
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,960
David, he helped us with that.

263
00:24:54,420 --> 00:24:57,640
We're not an explored to see where the safest and best place was.

264
00:24:57,780 --> 00:25:04,500
And so we're going to be depositing these little guys in the river on 10 o'clock in the morning

265
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:05,520
on that Saturday.

266
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:09,260
And bring them down to Vulhead Community Park.

267
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,500
And we have these experts that are going to help us

268
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,340
as he given me two more minutes.

269
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,000
I'm sorry.

270
00:25:21,060 --> 00:25:23,920
Anyway, we're going to do this fundraiser

271
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,420
and then when we get done, we're going to hopefully

272
00:25:27,420 --> 00:25:31,200
have the money we need to get our fund back together.

273
00:25:32,060 --> 00:25:33,760
So I just want to share that with you.

274
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,020
Get you started because we're going to be selling these ducks.

275
00:25:37,020 --> 00:25:45,320
We've already started and there's a administrative group here in town that works down on

276
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:53,040
Marie and a boulevard and they went into their park that's pretty deep today for us and I want

277
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,760
to thank them for that.

278
00:25:55,300 --> 00:26:00,200
People have been stepping up quite a bit already because they know that river fund uses that

279
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:07,000
money for good things and so anybody wants to participate wants to find out more about it.

280
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,380
where we have more time.

281
00:26:08,780 --> 00:26:11,340
Just go on our website, and it's just river fund,

282
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,640
and the letters iNC.com.

283
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,880
And you can see it at all the information on it.

284
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,040
And you can also buy your tickets online.

285
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,460
So come out and enjoy the day.

286
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,500
And there's going to be a lot of other folks there

287
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,080
to that day.

288
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:28,440
Grace is going to be out there.

289
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,720
And we have the college also participating

290
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,740
to make scholarship money made available to the students.

291
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:37,740
That's it.

292
00:26:37,820 --> 00:26:38,080
We're done.

293
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,260
Thank you.

294
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,360
Thank you.

295
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:41,520
Thank you, Mayor.

296
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,080
Thank you.

297
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,480
Anyone else?

298
00:26:55,420 --> 00:26:56,420
Good evening, Mayor.

299
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,620
City Council, Toby, and team.

300
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,740
I want to come to you guys tonight to talk about some restoration and construction process.

301
00:27:04,780 --> 00:27:06,100
Just real brief.

302
00:27:07,140 --> 00:27:12,220
I'm not going to take much, much of your guys this time, but I heard some concerns about the

303
00:27:12,220 --> 00:27:17,460
registration process and what it involves and the timing so on and so forth. So we brought

304
00:27:17,460 --> 00:27:22,740
Jeremy Brunk here with TWN. He's going to go through it a little bit. If anybody has any questions

305
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:28,540
after the meeting for any of you guys or anybody out in the audience, we will be here after the meeting

306
00:27:28,540 --> 00:27:32,680
too as well. Happy to discuss anything with you guys. So I'll turn it over to Jeremy Brunk.

307
00:27:34,380 --> 00:27:40,440
Hello, staff. Councilman. Mayor, thank you for having me. So there's many different stages of

308
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,920
construction, or some of you have seen it, basically all we're telling the community after

309
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:52,180
we've met with the city, that we have 30 days after the area has been turned on or lit up

310
00:27:52,180 --> 00:27:57,120
or however you want to say it. So, 30 days after everything's been placed and tested,

311
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,840
the restoration will start and complete. So that's basically what I'm here to tell you guys.

312
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,680
So, thank you.

313
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,560
Thank you.

314
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,740
Anyone else?

315
00:28:23,620 --> 00:28:24,580
Mayor, City Council?

316
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:28,680
Well, Easter is just around the corner.

317
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,340
Gary Jenavise.

318
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:30,840
Thank you, Paul Ed City.

319
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,200
And, you know what that means?

320
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,920
The Ham Man is back.

321
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,100
Three times a year, first one being Easter.

322
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,740
The doing this is a fundraiser for the Colorado River Historical Society and Museum.

323
00:28:46,740 --> 00:28:54,500
Now, as you well know, that the museum is our local point in town for our history, and

324
00:28:54,500 --> 00:29:02,880
Carol Finkelstein being the president has shepherded that little group of people, the volunteers,

325
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:09,220
for many years now, and they provide a wonderful service for you folks to go and see the history

326
00:29:09,220 --> 00:29:11,960
of Bullhead and the environmental area around it.

327
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:35,800
So, to fundraise for the upcoming propositions that they have going for their yard work and they've maintenance of the building whenever we have this annual fundraiser at Easter time for Honeybaked Hands, which, as you well know, are very, very delicious, very, very delicious, they're plump,

328
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:47,440
have a golden brown crust on the exterior. They're crunchy when they're eaten and they're also very moist on the inside.

329
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:59,800
That's just for your dinner, for the people who have your Easter party. And don't forget the following morning. Scramble days with a little diced at some peppers and onions. Oh boy.

330
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:25,280
Can't be the best restaurant town to be in your own kitchen. The fundraiser, of course, will have a deadline. That will be April 6th. We'll be the cutoff at noon, and for the orders to come in, and we will be putting them out on April 6th, that evening between 630 and 8 o'clock at Susanna's House, and I'll give her her phone number at a moment.

331
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:33,640
But there are just excellent hands and he will be doing a benefit to the community by allowing

332
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,520
this process to go through.

333
00:30:35,580 --> 00:30:41,480
I will take them up to Henderson to pick up the hands and I take Eva and I take Susanna and

334
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,040
I take Carol and we all have a good time at Mimi's and pick up the hands and come home and

335
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,040
distribute them to the folks that want them.

336
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:53,880
So please enjoy the hands and we are doing a good thing for the community.

337
00:30:53,880 --> 00:31:09,580
Also, the orders will be taken by Susanna Vansloten, and her phone number is 9282344807, Susanna,

338
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:19,800
just call her Susanna, 9282344807, and you get to hear me two more times.

339
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,800
Okay, thank you very much.

340
00:31:22,820 --> 00:31:24,140
Thank you.

341
00:31:27,630 --> 00:31:28,550
Don't you

342
00:31:42,090 --> 00:31:43,990
remember we made that.

343
00:31:51,370 --> 00:31:58,170
Well, I'm glad that the Saints people are still here because it's a wonderful job they do with the dogs and cats.

344
00:31:59,050 --> 00:31:59,590
Nine minutes.

345
00:31:59,950 --> 00:32:01,250
Wow, thank you.

346
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,680
I'm still not going to heck about this part down there where you put that tank.

347
00:32:12,670 --> 00:32:22,250
You wiped out the whole area there, you know, these ducts have babies in March, April, and May, and April around the park inside there.

348
00:32:22,590 --> 00:32:29,710
Somebody went and cut all the brush and you know where they patch their eggs, make their nests, it's all gone now.

349
00:32:29,950 --> 00:32:32,410
I'm living over that.

350
00:32:32,410 --> 00:32:36,130
Ducks and liberty is going to find out about that.

351
00:32:36,630 --> 00:32:38,630
And since you ought to be, matter in hell too,

352
00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:40,650
these are animals too.

353
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:43,690
Um, yeah, you go down there.

354
00:32:43,850 --> 00:32:46,910
They cut every damn piece of grass down there.

355
00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:49,630
There's no place for them, except a little bit in front.

356
00:32:49,890 --> 00:32:52,630
They're lazy heres, where they usually do their leg in.

357
00:32:52,930 --> 00:32:55,790
But you rest of it, you cut out, you butcher it.

358
00:33:01,790 --> 00:33:05,390
You put a new gates up, you put five posts in the ground.

359
00:33:05,390 --> 00:33:11,250
You had to cut, in order for an ambulance to go down there all the way to the end or anywhere down there.

360
00:33:11,730 --> 00:33:16,870
You had to cut undue five locks at the minimum of three.

361
00:33:17,190 --> 00:33:19,750
And these ain't cheap locks, you can't just bang them with a hammer.

362
00:33:21,630 --> 00:33:23,930
So I don't know who decided on that.

363
00:33:24,650 --> 00:33:27,310
Somebody dies down there because they couldn't get in there.

364
00:33:28,050 --> 00:33:31,110
Whatever, you guys don't care. Look, cute, it's five little gates.

365
00:33:36,430 --> 00:33:39,210
these bricks that you laid down there for the monuments.

366
00:33:41,970 --> 00:33:45,510
Here's the photos of the insides of the trash inside.

367
00:33:46,370 --> 00:33:48,430
Then they put the monuments on there.

368
00:33:48,730 --> 00:33:49,490
Here's the trash.

369
00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:52,490
Then at the insides, time you walk by there,

370
00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:54,610
there's trash in all three of those monuments.

371
00:33:55,890 --> 00:33:56,330
Trash!

372
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,060
The reason I get so mad about that,

373
00:34:03,060 --> 00:34:04,120
and you put them at angles.

374
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,140
This is going to be, we have no justice going to lay on there.

375
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,760
These guys aren't down there cleaning the darn things after time.

376
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,420
The bird poop's gonna get them every time those pigeons in an area or something else.

377
00:34:14,540 --> 00:34:18,320
You may rules about pigeons if you don't go down or do nothing about them.

378
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,280
And rain is gonna go in the back, because you'll have to a little bit of seemin' there.

379
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,560
It's just a perfect place for the mosquitoes to go in there and hatch.

380
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,280
Good job!

381
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:37,760
All the who-to-spent contractor is a buzz-downer, but I swear to God he'll never work at my house.

382
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:45,000
And those signs you got down there by the hours of those little black things, the information

383
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,560
something was already running her right now in their history.

384
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:52,320
I don't know.

385
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,940
Same to you, I'll be pissed off about the next chapter.

386
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:56,540
Next, Harvey.

387
00:35:06,660 --> 00:35:07,440
Well, that's city.

388
00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:13,390
I just wondered if anybody would hold it.

389
00:35:13,570 --> 00:35:14,730
We had a great time.

390
00:35:14,850 --> 00:35:17,650
I'm out there here at the park with all the drag racing.

391
00:35:17,650 --> 00:35:20,990
that drifted and gave away some really cool prizes to everybody.

392
00:35:22,730 --> 00:35:27,870
This month, on the 19th, on Sunday from 10 to 3, over here,

393
00:35:28,050 --> 00:35:30,590
in the parking lot of Gary Keyes, we're going to be running the drag

394
00:35:30,590 --> 00:35:32,090
races again.

395
00:35:32,450 --> 00:35:33,790
Have a little show in Shanghai and Contest.

396
00:35:34,410 --> 00:35:36,650
Have some ribbons and other prizes to give away.

397
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:42,210
On April 1st, up here on the treadless trail on Contel Lane,

398
00:35:42,210 --> 00:35:50,710
And we're going to have a scale crawling competition hosted by the trellis scalers and can

399
00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:51,650
all rich.

400
00:35:51,930 --> 00:35:55,570
There will be a $15 buy-in on each class that you'll enter.

401
00:35:57,450 --> 00:36:02,630
And all the money is going to be going towards making better prizes and stuff like that.

402
00:36:02,670 --> 00:36:04,170
We're going to have a great time out there.

403
00:36:04,810 --> 00:36:10,050
So we hope everybody will give our COChants it seems to be going pretty darn good around

404
00:36:10,050 --> 00:36:10,790
town now.

405
00:36:10,790 --> 00:36:15,930
Thank you again for the track, it seems to have pretty much almost got done this week.

406
00:36:16,830 --> 00:36:20,170
A lot of good folks are out there working on it from Las Vegas and everything.

407
00:36:20,410 --> 00:36:24,690
We've got some team from Lake Havishy City with their dragsters,

408
00:36:25,030 --> 00:36:26,790
or going to be coming up on against us.

409
00:36:27,610 --> 00:36:30,170
We've got the guys out of kingdom with chaotic R.C.,

410
00:36:30,170 --> 00:36:32,310
that are going to come out and meet us with the crawlers.

411
00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:35,850
So the race is coming out from Las Vegas.

412
00:36:35,910 --> 00:36:37,470
This is really starting to shake up.

413
00:36:37,490 --> 00:36:39,210
We have pretty cool R.C. town.

414
00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:42,330
I took a little while, but we're getting there.

415
00:36:43,050 --> 00:36:46,230
So thank you very much for everything that is going on.

416
00:36:46,390 --> 00:36:48,470
Question, time, you got a minute, 19.

417
00:36:49,070 --> 00:36:54,250
Oh, what time, oh, from 10 o'clock till 3 o'clock on the 19s.

418
00:36:54,690 --> 00:36:57,910
And the one on the first, I believe it's starting in the morning.

419
00:36:58,010 --> 00:37:00,790
I'm not really sure on time, but I'll be back at the next city council.

420
00:37:00,930 --> 00:37:02,530
I mean, to let you know.

421
00:37:03,970 --> 00:37:06,810
Well, thank you very much, bigger and better things.

422
00:37:06,970 --> 00:37:07,590
We're going to go faster.

423
00:37:08,190 --> 00:37:08,450
Thank you.

424
00:37:27,350 --> 00:37:32,310
Hi everyone, welcome to the City Council and welcome to the Mayor of the Bullhead City.

425
00:37:33,010 --> 00:37:39,850
My name is Ivy Youngman and I've been a resident here for more than 25 years and I've

426
00:37:39,850 --> 00:37:45,250
been without a car for a long time, I've been a walker, I've seen everything that goes

427
00:37:45,250 --> 00:37:46,170
on the city.

428
00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:52,350
I think the most important thing we need to address right now is for the place for the younger

429
00:37:52,350 --> 00:38:10,930
dogs need to go and congregate like maybe a place where they could have a dance and you know it's important for young people to be off the streets and be away from drugs and cigarettes and alcohol.

430
00:38:11,710 --> 00:38:19,010
And I think you know I remember I'm almost 70 years old and I remember when I was a kid we always had a dance to go to

431
00:38:21,690 --> 00:38:27,090
And I think it would be an incentive for the young girls to have something to look forward to,

432
00:38:27,090 --> 00:38:33,110
you know, to get their hair done or to get their nails done and find a new dress to wear,

433
00:38:33,730 --> 00:38:38,770
rather than what a lot of young adults are choosing nails to take the dress and the alcohol.

434
00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:41,250
And this would be good for the guys.

435
00:38:42,310 --> 00:39:00,950
But I don't know, you know, I realize Rotary Park is building a recreation center for the, I don't know if the younger people are taking advantage of it, but I think this is one thing that we should consider in our budget this year, and I think that's really important to the kids.

436
00:39:00,950 --> 00:39:08,370
And the kids are the future of both her city and we have to take care of them.

437
00:39:08,410 --> 00:39:12,490
You know, by setting a good example and providing them good resources where they can go

438
00:39:12,490 --> 00:39:15,210
to get away from the drugs and the alcohol.

439
00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:23,900
And then I have one more thing to address and that is I believe that both her city needs to

440
00:39:23,900 --> 00:39:34,480
of fireworks because what happens is there's a lot of people who come into the city

441
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:43,060
for fireworks for the July and what they do is you can't account for all the people

442
00:39:43,060 --> 00:39:49,520
that are coming into the city so what this means is there's people that go to the river

443
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:56,680
from high school and from high schools all over when I was in high school of the popular

444
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:03,220
place to go to the river. So there's a lot of people that I know have died at the river.

445
00:40:04,260 --> 00:40:11,180
So the whole point of the day is that fireworks can be disguised as done fire.

446
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:19,500
I have a

447
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:26,380
here is a whole parameter of the city of what goes on and when the fireworks go, you know,

448
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,580
I can't tell if it's shotgun or a fireworks. So I think we need to outlaw fireworks.

449
00:40:34,590 --> 00:40:37,810
Anyone else? All right. Yes, Eva.

450
00:40:46,390 --> 00:40:55,330
Good evening, Council. Mayor. And Toby Gauder. I couldn't find it on my, could you hear me?

451
00:40:55,330 --> 00:40:57,590
Oh, Eva Corbett, but let's see.

452
00:40:58,750 --> 00:40:59,430
Let's look at that.

453
00:40:59,770 --> 00:41:06,010
Anyway, I couldn't find it on my chamber events calendar,

454
00:41:06,710 --> 00:41:08,930
but this Friday, Saturday and Sunday,

455
00:41:09,670 --> 00:41:12,330
we're having a car show and a home and garden show.

456
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:13,850
Is that correct, Toby?

457
00:41:14,590 --> 00:41:15,770
At the field house.

458
00:41:16,690 --> 00:41:19,630
And I'm excited about it, but I can't find it on my calendar.

459
00:41:19,910 --> 00:41:22,650
So maybe Toby could give us a little more information

460
00:41:22,650 --> 00:41:23,790
about that.

461
00:41:24,010 --> 00:41:24,270
OK?

462
00:41:24,270 --> 00:41:26,670
Thank you.

463
00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:28,250
Anyone else?

464
00:41:28,550 --> 00:41:32,250
We're going to call the close to the call of public.

465
00:41:33,290 --> 00:41:36,130
And like I said, I messed up and jumped again.

466
00:41:36,270 --> 00:41:38,090
We have a proclamation to do tonight.

467
00:41:39,430 --> 00:41:44,350
We're going to be declaring Saturday, March 18th, 2023 as the 27th Annual Carry

468
00:41:44,350 --> 00:41:48,250
a growing bicycle safety rodeo day in Bolton, Sydney.

469
00:41:49,310 --> 00:41:50,990
We'll meet Lorraine, everybody down here.

470
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:31,820
Business, fund, independent mobility for children of all ages, and whereas many

471
00:42:31,820 --> 00:42:37,640
Children could be spared injury each year by communities making bicycle safety a priority.

472
00:42:38,780 --> 00:42:42,800
And whereas bicycling is recognized as an activity that can reduce child obesity,

473
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,900
and create more positive way to increase activity for children in bullhead city.

474
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:53,740
And whereas the bicycle safety rodeo is set for Saturday, March 18, 2023,

475
00:42:54,420 --> 00:42:59,580
from 90am until noon providing children of all ages of fun time to learn the rules of the road,

476
00:42:59,580 --> 00:43:10,140
Safe biking and receive a free bike helmet and we're as the bike rodeo sponsored for the youth of our community by the bullhead city morning to on us

477
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,360
Wal-Mart

478
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:17,020
Western Arizona Regional Medical Center and the bullhead city police department and the bullhead city first

479
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:18,220
Fire department

480
00:43:18,940 --> 00:43:22,300
Now therefore I steeply amico marable hit city

481
00:43:22,780 --> 00:43:29,460
Do hereby proclaim Saturday March 18 2023 as a 27th annual carry a

482
00:43:29,460 --> 00:43:33,800
segment, Bullhit City, or bicycle safety rodeo.

483
00:43:34,020 --> 00:43:38,600
And what is there, I am there to set my hand on the 7th day of March, 2023.

484
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:46,220
Thank you, everybody.

485
00:43:46,460 --> 00:43:49,320
I have pliers for the event available in the back.

486
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,780
This is completely free.

487
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:56,180
If the children bring their bike, the corners have provided money, and we have volunteers out there,

488
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,960
safety check in the bike and fixing them for them.

489
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:01,820
If they don't have a bike, we have loaner bikes available.

490
00:44:01,820 --> 00:44:08,620
every child is fitted by bullhood city fire department for a correctly fitting helmet free of charge.

491
00:44:09,220 --> 00:44:14,300
And we've had a local resident that owns Maurice and Laura Trudell, a riverfront RV resort.

492
00:44:14,780 --> 00:44:20,100
They purchased all the helmets for this year's event and it's very generous of them.

493
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:25,020
In addition, they bought 10 bicycles that will be given away at the end of the event.

494
00:44:25,020 --> 00:44:35,120
And air control services purchase 10 bicycles they're going to be on scene from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. giving those bikes to lucky winners if it is faith that hour.

495
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:42,800
And Western Arizona Regional Medical Center who's been a partner with us for years is going to be giving two bikes away.

496
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:49,600
And Walmart will also give two bikes away. So we'll give out 24 bikes plus the bike poster winner.

497
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,520
that fire does as a poster contest in the schools

498
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,080
and gives a helmet, it's a helmet contest.

499
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,240
So the kids learn the importance of the helmet,

500
00:44:59,720 --> 00:44:59,920
the helmet.

501
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,480
We'll receive a bite out there that day and it will be on display for you to see. If you get a chance,

502
00:45:05,660 --> 00:45:13,820
come by. We have a lot of community partners at table and give information to the families while they're waiting for their children to ride the safety course.

503
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:24,360
And it's such a fun day and it's amazing community partnership of coming together a lot of donors to make this wonderful event available again this 27th year.

504
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,820
It's Bullhead City Walmart, 90am to noon, March 18th.

505
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,740
We've got it on our Bullhead City Police Facebook page.

506
00:45:32,420 --> 00:45:38,960
We've put out 6,500 flyers thanks to warm sea and throughout the community that were out

507
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,540
delivering glory and eye and just our entire team.

508
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,520
So I just want you guys to know that we're really working to keep the kids safe and busy in

509
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,700
our community and help us spread the word so they take advantage of it.

510
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:24,320
Okay, agenda modifications, so are there any items to be with John from remove to the appropriate place on the agenda?

511
00:46:25,220 --> 00:46:26,800
If not, I'll take away from motion.

512
00:46:30,190 --> 00:46:34,730
Mr. Mayor, I moved to the base that we need to get to the position.

513
00:46:35,710 --> 00:46:36,270
The resolution.

514
00:46:37,110 --> 00:46:37,230
The resolution.

515
00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:39,310
At the seat.

516
00:46:40,550 --> 00:46:40,890
Second.

517
00:46:41,890 --> 00:46:42,490
Everybody, pressure.

518
00:46:44,860 --> 00:46:45,960
I'm glad to hear you with this, Norma.

519
00:46:47,020 --> 00:46:47,160
Yes.

520
00:46:47,460 --> 00:46:47,760
Aye.

521
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,420
Councilmember Alfonso, did you press?

522
00:46:56,530 --> 00:46:58,670
by Mayor Brummit your vote.

523
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,720
Seven in favor of the motion motion, Karen's.

524
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:05,140
Hey, our manager, your court.

525
00:47:05,460 --> 00:47:06,280
Good evening, Mayor.

526
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,440
Deemico Council members.

527
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:10,300
The first item on my report is a bridge update.

528
00:47:10,820 --> 00:47:13,660
And I thought it'd be appropriate to show you a quick video

529
00:47:14,220 --> 00:47:16,160
from Fox 5 in Las Vegas.

530
00:47:21,590 --> 00:47:25,190
Then update on the second lockland bullhead city bridge beam.

531
00:47:25,250 --> 00:47:26,270
You turn that up a little bit.

532
00:47:26,270 --> 00:47:30,250
It took a drive to the Colorado River to get a first hand look at the progress

533
00:47:30,250 --> 00:47:33,230
and has more on when it's expected to be completed.

534
00:47:34,150 --> 00:47:35,770
It's been decades of the making.

535
00:47:36,110 --> 00:47:39,510
The second lockland bullhead city bridge is under construction.

536
00:47:40,010 --> 00:47:42,030
And the construction right now is in high gear.

537
00:47:42,170 --> 00:47:46,110
Now residents and first responders have been asking for this for literally decades.

538
00:47:46,150 --> 00:47:47,030
Let's check it out here.

539
00:47:47,190 --> 00:47:51,670
You can see all the construction and some of the giant pure columns that are currently under construction.

540
00:47:52,130 --> 00:47:55,330
Now the last bridge that was constructed was back in 1987.

541
00:47:55,330 --> 00:48:00,370
in the current Luffland Bullhead City Bridge, just north of the Riverside Casino in the

542
00:48:00,370 --> 00:48:04,030
heart of Luffland, but that's all about the change by the end of the year.

543
00:48:04,410 --> 00:48:08,270
Yeah, we're really happy to bring this project to the systems Luffland, it's a big impact for

544
00:48:08,270 --> 00:48:13,710
them, it's not only economic impact, but also a safety improvement allow for, you know, a second

545
00:48:13,710 --> 00:48:17,330
or third bridge across the river for the residents of the Luffland.

546
00:48:17,670 --> 00:48:22,970
Better like than never as residents and business owners on both sides on the Colorado River,

547
00:48:22,970 --> 00:48:26,850
have been wondering why it took so long to start construction of a second

548
00:48:26,850 --> 00:48:30,990
Loughlet-Mullhead City Bridge considering federal funding for the bridge was

549
00:48:30,990 --> 00:48:35,050
secured back in the 1990s there's a lot of different agencies of the

550
00:48:35,050 --> 00:48:39,090
environmental impact process takes a long time we have to do with you know

551
00:48:39,090 --> 00:48:46,630
memory agency such as a Loughlet-City Loughlet the Coast Guard BLM FHWA which is a

552
00:48:46,630 --> 00:48:50,310
funding partner on the project RTC so we have to get all those different agencies

553
00:48:50,310 --> 00:48:55,950
together. Besides all the bureaucracy, the other reason for the years long delayed a

554
00:48:55,950 --> 00:49:00,350
finally construct the new bridge was political squabbling on where to build the bridge

555
00:49:00,350 --> 00:49:05,950
in the first place. Loughlin and Bullet City both wanted to bridge across over at Riverview

556
00:49:05,950 --> 00:49:10,490
Drive west of Rotary Park. But the federal government said that the bridge was built through

557
00:49:10,490 --> 00:49:16,030
the park. They would pull all funding, essentially sinking the entire project to the bottom

558
00:49:16,030 --> 00:49:21,050
of the Colorado River, so Clark County and Bullhead City official decided that a lining

559
00:49:21,050 --> 00:49:25,050
the new bridge with Bullhead City Parkway was the best compromise.

560
00:49:25,810 --> 00:49:28,030
Yeah, so this bridge connects right to Bullhead City Parkway.

561
00:49:28,030 --> 00:49:33,350
So this is a big safety improvement, it allows for a second bridge for the area residents,

562
00:49:33,970 --> 00:49:37,630
in case something has to happen with other bridge maintenance or anything like that.

563
00:49:37,850 --> 00:49:42,950
Now, the 52.4 million dollar project here to construct this secondary bridge here for

564
00:49:42,950 --> 00:49:47,550
had parkway across the Colorado River on over toward Needles Highway. This should

565
00:49:47,550 --> 00:49:52,290
wrap up by the end of the year, finally offering a second access point between the

566
00:49:52,290 --> 00:49:58,090
two states and the two communities. I'm Ken Smith, Fox 5 news, local Las Vegas.

567
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:05,210
I thought Fox 5 did a nice job of recapsulating and kind of telling the story of the bridge

568
00:50:05,210 --> 00:50:10,010
and showing it up close in person. Also, I just wanted to share that with you. We

569
00:50:10,010 --> 00:50:16,530
to anticipate the bridge being open and having a huge event there, hopefully by the end of

570
00:50:16,530 --> 00:50:19,250
this calendar year or the first part of next year.

571
00:50:20,250 --> 00:50:28,070
So stay tuned for that project to really ramp up and finish out over the next 8-12 months.

572
00:50:28,730 --> 00:50:31,210
I would have saved that for last because it could be hard to talk to.

573
00:50:31,250 --> 00:50:32,910
It is hard to talk to that.

574
00:50:32,910 --> 00:50:35,970
I am impressed that you got a box by your news to do for a beer manager report.

575
00:50:35,990 --> 00:50:36,530
Thank you.

576
00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:37,690
Appreciate that.

577
00:50:37,850 --> 00:50:39,290
They did that just for the report.

578
00:50:41,330 --> 00:50:51,570
The next item on my report is a couple updates for council, one is our especially events and

579
00:50:51,570 --> 00:50:55,050
calendar activities coming up here.

580
00:50:55,130 --> 00:51:01,290
March and April will be extremely busy, no different than past March and April's.

581
00:51:01,970 --> 00:51:06,330
So part of this is for our community, the council members, the leadership, but primarily our

582
00:51:06,330 --> 00:51:12,630
in this is who sometimes tend to forget how busy we get and it's a gentle reminder that

583
00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:19,390
the next couple weeks really through May are going to be extremely busy especially on the weekends.

584
00:51:20,250 --> 00:51:24,930
So this Thursday Friday Saturday we've got one of the best softball tournaments in the country here

585
00:51:24,930 --> 00:51:30,770
for high school girls, the tournament champions. There's also a carnival over at Gary Keith Park

586
00:51:30,770 --> 00:51:34,150
And as Eva mentioned, the car show, classic car show,

587
00:51:34,190 --> 00:51:36,490
and home show out at the Field House party in Saturday

588
00:51:36,490 --> 00:51:41,170
from 10 to 5 Sunday, 10 to 4, $5 to get in.

589
00:51:41,170 --> 00:51:43,170
So you can go to the Field House for that event.

590
00:51:45,030 --> 00:51:46,930
Then the Chamber's hosting the Winter Visitor

591
00:51:46,930 --> 00:51:51,870
Expo for all our snowbirds and new residents on March 16th.

592
00:51:51,870 --> 00:51:54,750
On March 18th, the 19th, we have a senior softball,

593
00:51:55,410 --> 00:51:58,130
40s, worlds, championship down to Rotary Park,

594
00:51:58,690 --> 00:52:00,630
March 24th through the 26th.

595
00:52:00,630 --> 00:52:06,350
of adult slow-pitched softball tournament. We have the kids export, a canful of our park on the

596
00:52:06,350 --> 00:52:12,890
25th, the giant air show, as you all know, on April 1st. At that same weekend, though, we also

597
00:52:12,890 --> 00:52:20,370
have an international soccer, youth soccer tournament, and USSA adult slow pitch tournament. So if you

598
00:52:20,370 --> 00:52:25,850
think we're busy this weekend, wait till the first weekend in April. We also, the six through the

599
00:52:25,850 --> 00:52:32,050
have what's called the Vegas shows an inflatable amusement park out of Gary Key Park replacing the

600
00:52:32,050 --> 00:52:36,970
carnival which just replaced the circus. We also have a farmer's park it on the A and then

601
00:52:36,970 --> 00:52:44,930
River Day soccer tournament which is locally run soccer tournament. The 15th and 16th of April

602
00:52:44,930 --> 00:52:51,370
same time is Mike's duck race that we can and that same weekend there's also an adult

603
00:52:51,370 --> 00:52:57,670
Slow-pitched softball tournament, and directly a major country music star is on stage over in law

604
00:52:57,670 --> 00:53:02,910
Flynn. So if you thought that weekend of the first was busy, that weekend of the 15th will be really, really busy.

605
00:53:03,930 --> 00:53:10,410
And then also the 21st in 22nd, the following weekend, we have a 7 on 7 youth football tournament

606
00:53:10,410 --> 00:53:16,010
Out of rotary park and a one nation slow-pitched softball adult tournament at rotary park.

607
00:53:17,230 --> 00:53:28,010
And then after that, we have the lawful and bullhead city river run, the motorcycle event that's been kind of rebranded and renamed so that's April 25th through the 29th.

608
00:53:28,990 --> 00:53:33,730
And then the 29th and the 30th is the river madness, fast pitch girl softball tournament.

609
00:53:34,030 --> 00:53:37,050
That's the weekend, there's a Brooks and Dunn concert in lawflint.

610
00:53:37,290 --> 00:53:43,230
And there's a whole bunch of other local, smaller events happening all throughout that time.

611
00:53:43,230 --> 00:53:45,890
So I don't know if time to go through all of them,

612
00:53:46,070 --> 00:53:47,850
but just a note to all of our businesses,

613
00:53:48,050 --> 00:53:51,210
because this is the time of year when we get those,

614
00:53:51,210 --> 00:53:53,430
you know, a little bit of weight and some of our restaurants,

615
00:53:54,410 --> 00:53:58,090
and we also have some of our businesses who say,

616
00:53:58,230 --> 00:54:00,930
geez, didn't know we're gonna have that many people in town.

617
00:54:01,390 --> 00:54:02,770
There will be traffic on the highway.

618
00:54:03,990 --> 00:54:09,310
We typically have about 40,000, 35 to 40,000 cars a day.

619
00:54:09,610 --> 00:54:13,210
Some of these weekends could increase to 50 to 60,000 cars

620
00:54:13,210 --> 00:54:20,350
per day, and then of course this brings millions of dollars to our small businesses, restaurants, hotels,

621
00:54:21,590 --> 00:54:28,390
and retail establishments. So it is big business for the city. Travis is going to give us a quick

622
00:54:28,730 --> 00:54:34,690
interview report. He's got some news about him in the mayor going to Phoenix again.

623
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:44,800
Thank you, City Manager Carter. Good evening Mayor, City Council members and residents.

624
00:54:46,780 --> 00:54:50,640
Tonight I'll talk about the intergovernmental updates.

625
00:54:51,980 --> 00:55:03,920
We're about halfway through the legislative session at this point, depending on how things shape up, we'll see how the budget goes and how long the session actually goes.

626
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,860
But a little more than halfway through at this point.

627
00:55:07,940 --> 00:55:13,240
I'm going to touch on just probably about four bills that are applicable to the City of Bullhead City.

628
00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:16,320
Obviously there's much more than that going on down there.

629
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,920
But I think due to the time I'll just touch on four bills.

630
00:55:19,660 --> 00:55:22,720
First one I wanted to mention was Senate Bill 1588.

631
00:55:23,300 --> 00:55:26,000
This is criminal justice collection system bill.

632
00:55:26,340 --> 00:55:33,000
This is a bill that's asking for all the courts, all of the prosecutors offices, all the police agencies

633
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:38,360
to dump all of their information into one central reporting system with the thought process.

634
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:44,160
This is making the data available for researchers and other folks interested to kind of review

635
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:48,680
it and make some political decisions and administrative decisions.

636
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,840
Now, it's a lot of work, a lot of effort, so we didn't think this was a good bill.

637
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:59,420
We asked the League of Cities and Towns to oppose this bill because it's just too much

638
00:55:59,420 --> 00:56:03,580
work on the police department. They already have enough to do and it's so much

639
00:56:03,580 --> 00:56:07,640
information. I don't think they're going to be able to do this effectively. So

640
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:13,500
that bill went to it was received a due process recommendation from the

641
00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:19,400
appropriations committee on February 27th and scheduled actually went

642
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:25,380
got a reading at the rules committee on March 6th. They haven't gave us a response yet.

643
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,740
So we'll continue to watch that one and see where that one goes but we did

644
00:56:28,740 --> 00:56:36,500
to oppose that bill. We're also keeping an eye on as everyone knows the state land

645
00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:42,660
transfer that's House Bill 2375 asking for the state land to be transferred to

646
00:56:42,660 --> 00:56:48,180
the City of Bullhead City. Now this is some of the, this is the land at the

647
00:56:48,180 --> 00:56:54,320
Memorial Site and a few other parcels that are sovereign land. This is the one

648
00:56:54,320 --> 00:57:01,620
that the mayor and I will go down and testify on this bill, share information on it and try

649
00:57:01,620 --> 00:57:03,260
to support it and get it passed.

650
00:57:03,820 --> 00:57:07,660
So look forward to that and look forward to testifying on that this week.

651
00:57:09,060 --> 00:57:11,940
We're also keeping an eye on House Bill 2543.

652
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,780
This is a greater Arizona transportation project.

653
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:22,060
This is the bill that includes initially included a $2 million for restoration of hand

654
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:51,960
The bill just went through some amendments on, looks like March 1st, so they made a few adjustments to the bill and actually decree some of our funding for that road, but as mentioned, the mayor and I are going down there, we're going to have a discussion with this

655
00:57:51,960 --> 00:58:00,140
on Highway 95. We were looking for 15.5 million dollars to do that. So we'll continue to talk

656
00:58:00,140 --> 00:58:08,300
about that, try to push for that. And then there is also House Bill 2555. This is a requirement

657
00:58:09,660 --> 00:58:17,280
that businesses as well as governments accept cash and when they're selling a taxable will good

658
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:25,080
or service. Now this particular bill, it will have some impact on us if it does pass. Typically

659
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:31,420
we don't accept cash at or last year we didn't accept cash at our Robo store. Just in the

660
00:58:31,420 --> 00:58:38,560
interest of making things more efficient and reducing the adapt. We also didn't accept cash

661
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,880
at our parking. Now that won't be impacted because that's a non-taxable function. But the

662
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:47,760
of the store if this passes as well as the boat, they would require two except cash.

663
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:55,420
This bill was heard on March 1st, it had a reading on March 1st, it hasn't been an

664
00:58:55,420 --> 00:59:00,360
next action yet, but we'll continue to keep an eye on it and see how it goes. Other than that,

665
00:59:00,380 --> 00:59:04,520
once we wrap up this meeting tonight, the Mayor and I will both be on our way to Phoenix

666
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:09,140
to kind of push some push for all of this stuff. With that, I stand for questions.

667
00:59:09,140 --> 00:59:11,520
They don't have any questions?

668
00:59:12,740 --> 00:59:13,600
Thanks, Travis.

669
00:59:14,060 --> 00:59:14,320
Thank you.

670
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:14,800
Thank you, Travis.

671
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,820
And the last item on my report this evening is weed abatement.

672
00:59:19,980 --> 00:59:23,460
As you all know, it has rained a lot this year.

673
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:28,520
In fact, snowed even a little bit in the mountains, so we're just wet right now.

674
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,080
And that means weeds are going to be abundant.

675
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:38,560
and we have codes against weeds, in yards, inside yards, in backyards with neighbors

676
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:43,740
complain. So we will be enforcing weed abatement. We do have code enforcement and they

677
00:59:43,740 --> 00:59:49,460
will be out. So what we can do now is encourage everyone. Take the time to pull spray. Do

678
00:59:49,460 --> 00:59:54,600
you need to do to get rid of your weeds. We'll give people time but as we go into the spring

679
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:59,200
season and then the summer season we can't have weeds all over the place and that includes

680
00:59:59,200 --> 00:59:59,740
the city.

681
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:15,660
We're going to hold ourselves responsible as well. We're already out there doing everything we can do to take the weeds off our own properties and our own rights of ways. So we'll be doing the same thing. So we just want to get the message out that weeds need to be evaded and we all need to work toward that goal. Thank you.

682
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,000
Thank you.

683
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,940
Mary, council member from Fort son current events, do you put it on me then?

684
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:21,840
Mr. Mayor.

685
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:30,480
I would just like to, this last week on the 24th fawn, who herner has been charlie.

686
01:00:30,980 --> 01:00:32,600
They were 25 years busy.

687
01:00:32,780 --> 01:00:36,220
25 years they owned the donuts to go shop here.

688
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,300
And fawn had a brain aneurysm and she passed away.

689
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:45,980
And so they had her memorial service this last weekend, which was open to the public.

690
01:00:45,980 --> 01:00:52,340
it was beautiful and I just like to say thank you to her and her has been for so many years of

691
01:00:52,340 --> 01:00:59,300
serving our community and I also wanted to mention that on March 18th we will be having our food

692
01:00:59,300 --> 01:01:05,520
distribution from this location. It starts at 8 o'clock in the morning and we always need volunteers.

693
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:11,200
We had so many last months but we can always use more so if you'd like to volunteer you could get

694
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:17,600
you can stay for as long as you want but that's very very helpful and I'd like to

695
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:23,500
say thank you very much to the city for letting us use this facility as well as the

696
01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:29,500
parking lot and to all the people that come we give out 20,000 pounds of food every single

697
01:01:29,500 --> 01:01:35,540
month that is free and you just drive up I want to say thank you to food for families and

698
01:01:35,540 --> 01:01:40,480
Mary's Food Bank for Making Not Donation and Not Distribution Hospital.

699
01:01:44,510 --> 01:01:46,190
The Center didn't always have one of those things.

700
01:01:46,190 --> 01:01:47,010
Thank you, Mayor.

701
01:01:48,450 --> 01:01:49,130
Mr. Mayor.

702
01:01:49,490 --> 01:01:50,070
Oh, I'm sorry, Norma.

703
01:01:50,270 --> 01:01:50,450
I forgot.

704
01:01:50,650 --> 01:01:50,850
You're sick.

705
01:01:51,210 --> 01:01:51,330
Sorry.

706
01:01:52,290 --> 01:01:53,330
That's the case.

707
01:01:54,450 --> 01:01:57,990
I do have to think that I just want to be learning this exam.

708
01:01:58,590 --> 01:01:59,550
That's the top of that.

709
01:01:59,790 --> 01:02:00,630
This raises questions.

710
01:02:01,470 --> 01:02:04,270
This is the thing I have to think of.

711
01:02:04,370 --> 01:02:05,550
This is the center of the state.

712
01:02:07,550 --> 01:02:13,950
And then on the wrong sheet, Mr. Clark, I need to be with the focus of this meeting.

713
01:02:14,770 --> 01:02:20,530
But before I go into that, I just want to hear what everybody does.

714
01:02:20,810 --> 01:02:30,010
I ask you, Mr. Clark, if we have less with the military, the municipal Queen's frontman, it was fabulous.

715
01:02:30,010 --> 01:02:38,190
The audience was so engaged, they were dancing and singing and clumping and stomping

716
01:02:38,190 --> 01:02:43,690
and they had their phones out, and it was just such a wonderful, wonderful event.

717
01:02:44,230 --> 01:02:53,690
So don't despair, the upcoming filters of spring, a string which will be marked 28, 7 p.m.

718
01:02:53,690 --> 01:02:56,770
as a lobby high school auditorium,

719
01:02:56,970 --> 01:03:00,630
tickets to 30 dollars, that they'll bless the box office,

720
01:03:00,630 --> 01:03:04,250
box office opens at six o'clock.

721
01:03:04,570 --> 01:03:07,650
You will be enjoying the energy and the exciting music

722
01:03:07,650 --> 01:03:11,270
from the snow sea, award-winning Canadian string

723
01:03:11,270 --> 01:03:15,010
to the supergroup, bringing their unique blend

724
01:03:15,010 --> 01:03:17,150
and global music to the audiences.

725
01:03:17,970 --> 01:03:20,290
So we were forward to seeing you all there

726
01:03:20,290 --> 01:03:38,790
and Colorado River Conflict wants to thank everyone who has supported us this season and all 45 years that the Colorado River Conflict has been providing top-notch talent to our community.

727
01:03:39,210 --> 01:03:48,530
So we want to thank each and every one of you and look forward to seeing you on March 28 at seven spots for the filters of screen.

728
01:03:48,750 --> 01:03:49,750
Thank you so much.

729
01:03:49,750 --> 01:03:51,550
Thank you, Norma.

730
01:03:52,210 --> 01:03:54,670
Okay, now I'll take a motion for the consent agenda.

731
01:03:55,790 --> 01:03:57,110
Just to make your motion to approve.

732
01:03:57,430 --> 01:03:58,350
Item number one is right.

733
01:03:58,670 --> 01:03:59,450
Second motion.

734
01:03:59,970 --> 01:04:01,250
Everybody test your vote.

735
01:04:02,330 --> 01:04:03,950
Place mayor, brum at your vote.

736
01:04:05,010 --> 01:04:05,570
All right.

737
01:04:07,550 --> 01:04:09,330
Seven in favor of the motion motion carries.

738
01:04:10,170 --> 01:04:12,410
I don't know about the rest of you, but this is one I've been waiting for.

739
01:04:12,550 --> 01:04:13,410
I'm very excited about.

740
01:04:14,130 --> 01:04:15,130
Item number two.

741
01:04:15,970 --> 01:04:25,130
to approve the purchase of the real property located at 2435 Miracle Mile for $1,750,000

742
01:04:25,890 --> 01:04:31,150
in authorizes the city manager to enter purchase and sell agreements, execute all required

743
01:04:31,150 --> 01:04:36,230
real property transfer documents and issue payment to complete the transaction.

744
01:04:38,310 --> 01:04:43,030
Mayor Dimeco Council members, this is a request of the city council to purchase the building

745
01:04:43,030 --> 01:04:50,850
parking lot at 24, 35, Miracle Mile for 1.75 million from Brem Communications.

746
01:04:51,370 --> 01:04:57,150
This building, as you all know, is utilized as the office space for the Mojave Valley Daily

747
01:04:57,150 --> 01:04:57,770
News.

748
01:04:58,210 --> 01:05:01,630
So they were recently purchased as part of that purchase.

749
01:05:01,810 --> 01:05:03,410
They did not purchase the building.

750
01:05:04,390 --> 01:05:11,270
So over the past few months, we've heard that building was going to be vacated and we knew

751
01:05:11,270 --> 01:05:13,510
that the daily news was going to move their operations

752
01:05:13,510 --> 01:05:15,310
over to the Colorado place.

753
01:05:16,210 --> 01:05:20,190
So got the mayor and I to do some thinking and soul searching

754
01:05:20,990 --> 01:05:25,070
and looking at that building, because part of the consideration

755
01:05:25,070 --> 01:05:26,870
that we always have on any empty building

756
01:05:26,870 --> 01:05:30,390
is what can it become, what can it be used for.

757
01:05:30,910 --> 01:05:32,190
And as we look at our facilities,

758
01:05:32,190 --> 01:05:34,330
we are, in fact, building a new senior center.

759
01:05:34,850 --> 01:05:36,210
There's only one place for that.

760
01:05:36,490 --> 01:05:37,870
It's between our existing facilities.

761
01:05:38,650 --> 01:05:40,370
It's almost ready to be bid out.

762
01:05:40,370 --> 01:05:47,670
It will be constructed over the next few months, open a year from now, so that's not an appropriate place for a senior center.

763
01:05:48,930 --> 01:05:51,450
We know we're in the process of building a new animal shelter.

764
01:05:52,410 --> 01:05:56,690
When you look at this building, it's over 27,000 square feet.

765
01:05:57,130 --> 01:06:03,370
The building that we were proposing to build was about 12 to 13,000 square feet.

766
01:06:03,370 --> 01:06:12,730
Probably by the time we get it out to bed and the contractors' offers come in, fully fixed would be about $5 million for a very small

767
01:06:12,730 --> 01:06:20,510
12 to 13,000 square foot facility, which in our world is a very big one compared to the existing small

768
01:06:20,510 --> 01:06:32,430
4,000 or so square foot facility that we've been using for a very long time. Maybe only Rod is the only one here who remembers when that building was actually built.

769
01:06:32,430 --> 01:06:38,810
and first occupied, but I remember it from 1998 and it was certainly before that.

770
01:06:39,610 --> 01:06:44,710
So for at least the past 25 years or more, the city has needed a new shelter.

771
01:06:45,150 --> 01:06:47,050
Run around 8788.

772
01:06:47,830 --> 01:06:53,810
8788, right? So we've outgrown that facility, we all know it,

773
01:06:53,810 --> 01:06:59,210
and we've struggled to find the funding as the primary objective.

774
01:06:59,210 --> 01:07:05,490
We've had to do a whole bunch of other things here at the city, but we all knew that we would

775
01:07:05,490 --> 01:07:08,650
find the time, the money, and make it a priority.

776
01:07:09,490 --> 01:07:14,850
So today, it is a priority, it's a priority for everyone in this room, it's a priority for all

777
01:07:14,850 --> 01:07:22,230
of us, that we found that 5 million to build that 12 or 13,000 square foot facility.

778
01:07:23,510 --> 01:07:30,950
As time would show and luck would have it, the daily news was purchased and that building became available.

779
01:07:32,030 --> 01:07:39,510
So what is in that building right now, back in 2014 it was a praise for 1.78 million

780
01:07:40,270 --> 01:07:46,250
after it was remodeled and the daily news put well over two million dollars into a remodel.

781
01:07:46,810 --> 01:07:53,410
Because remember, they had their existing building there and they also bought the parking lot next door.

782
01:07:53,830 --> 01:07:56,630
So really it's about 1.59 acres.

783
01:07:57,530 --> 01:08:02,710
So the building size is about 27,353 square feet.

784
01:08:02,930 --> 01:08:05,810
So about 14,000 more than we were going to build.

785
01:08:06,550 --> 01:08:10,490
We know we'll have to put another $2 to $3 million into this facility.

786
01:08:11,010 --> 01:08:15,290
So it actually makes it less gaining at least 14,000 square feet

787
01:08:15,290 --> 01:08:18,150
that we can use for other things like police storage.

788
01:08:18,570 --> 01:08:21,050
Chief Trees and his team has been talking to me,

789
01:08:21,230 --> 01:08:22,090
talking to you all.

790
01:08:22,430 --> 01:08:24,890
What do we do with our boats and UTVs and jet skis

791
01:08:24,890 --> 01:08:29,010
and other technical and tactical equipment,

792
01:08:29,090 --> 01:08:31,050
and we were talking about building another building.

793
01:08:31,370 --> 01:08:33,770
This provides some storage capacity,

794
01:08:34,150 --> 01:08:35,890
at least for the next decade or so,

795
01:08:35,890 --> 01:08:37,390
and as the animal shelter grows,

796
01:08:38,070 --> 01:08:39,490
they can occupy that space

797
01:08:39,490 --> 01:08:42,610
and then we can build a police storage facility.

798
01:08:42,610 --> 01:08:50,030
So it gives us at least, from what our architect would say, at least $60 or put in savings

799
01:08:50,030 --> 01:08:51,670
probably more.

800
01:08:52,270 --> 01:08:57,330
And then it also provides us with at least what we were proposing in other $1.6 million savings

801
01:08:57,330 --> 01:08:58,970
from a police storage facility.

802
01:09:00,330 --> 01:09:07,750
Maybe most important everybody in here provides a very accessible public facility for the adoption

803
01:09:07,750 --> 01:09:09,050
of cats and dogs.

804
01:09:09,050 --> 01:09:15,310
I look at the dollars and cents and many of you are like just get to the cats and dogs part of this presentation.

805
01:09:16,290 --> 01:09:21,310
And so the current facility doesn't allow us to do a lot of great things.

806
01:09:21,470 --> 01:09:25,430
And we know that this new facility would be big.

807
01:09:26,050 --> 01:09:28,870
Modern allows to have veterinarian services.

808
01:09:30,750 --> 01:09:35,270
Other opportunities that we could talk about with our community moving forward.

809
01:09:35,270 --> 01:09:40,030
board, there's even been some discussions of an indoor dog park, but they haven't

810
01:09:40,030 --> 01:09:40,710
do buy.

811
01:09:40,970 --> 01:09:42,590
I think that he showed me one in Dubai.

812
01:09:43,070 --> 01:09:43,650
Well, guess what?

813
01:09:43,970 --> 01:09:46,970
We could have an indoor dog park if that's what the community wants.

814
01:09:48,070 --> 01:09:53,290
So as we look at low cost pay and neuter, we look at adopting out cats and dogs,

815
01:09:53,510 --> 01:09:57,510
Jeffrey minded me that there's an occasional guinea pig and a pot belly pig that goes through

816
01:09:57,510 --> 01:09:58,890
that facility as well.

817
01:09:59,570 --> 01:10:03,750
So we have to be able to service all of our animals.

818
01:10:03,750 --> 01:10:10,370
So, as we looked at that, the facility, Mayor Diomico, myself, and Rob Sames, and from

819
01:10:10,370 --> 01:10:16,270
self-regicosehits, really Rob was there for the technical aspects of what is this building

820
01:10:16,270 --> 01:10:22,950
offer at 1.75 million, it's huge, right, 27,000 square feet, all the things I talked about,

821
01:10:23,170 --> 01:10:32,790
but it's modern, numerous bathrooms, modern, very well-designed facility, beautiful lobby, many

822
01:10:32,790 --> 01:10:37,110
you have probably been in the building, maybe you haven't been in the office is where the

823
01:10:37,110 --> 01:10:43,170
reporters are, where the graphic artists are, the IT room, there's so many possibilities

824
01:10:43,970 --> 01:10:49,490
for the things that happen at our shelter. There's space for the community together, there's

825
01:10:49,490 --> 01:10:54,870
space for our staff to meet, there's a break room, there's lockers, there's actually showers

826
01:10:54,870 --> 01:11:01,010
in there by the printing presses. So many different things, and so the mayor and I started

827
01:11:01,010 --> 01:11:06,350
talking about it and we said what would we offer for a building like that if we could even get

828
01:11:06,350 --> 01:11:12,310
brem communications to consider and the only thing we had to go on because we didn't want to

829
01:11:12,310 --> 01:11:17,010
call any brokers or realtors or get this conversation going the community was a 2014 appraisal

830
01:11:17,770 --> 01:11:24,770
and that 2014 appraisal came back at 1.78 million so we were in the mayor's office we called

831
01:11:24,770 --> 01:11:29,870
one of the key executives of brem communication and we offered less than the apprais value

832
01:11:30,510 --> 01:11:40,150
They took it to their board, and they accepted that at least preliminary, of course, you all have to approve that tonight of the offer at $1.75 million.

833
01:11:41,430 --> 01:11:47,890
And some people may say, why? I think the newspaper did a good job, interviewed the executives from Bram.

834
01:11:50,850 --> 01:11:55,350
It offers a few things. There's not a lot of contingencies, there's no concerns on our end.

835
01:11:55,350 --> 01:12:00,530
It's a quick sale. You keep the brokers out of the deal, save some commissions, but

836
01:12:01,410 --> 01:12:07,330
primarily, they see the city and the animal shelter as one of the most viable uses,

837
01:12:07,570 --> 01:12:13,330
so it won't sit on the market. But also, you know, whether it's a million dollar donation,

838
01:12:13,530 --> 01:12:18,190
they're making $2 million dollars, depending on how you value it. Some people might even say

839
01:12:18,190 --> 01:12:23,090
we're getting a $3 million discount, who knows? You wouldn't know unless you put it on the market.

840
01:12:23,090 --> 01:12:28,290
Tammy Shakener had, I mean she knows how the real estate market works here, it's a substantial

841
01:12:28,970 --> 01:12:33,830
deduction that brand communications is making for all of us, for the community, for the

842
01:12:33,830 --> 01:12:34,710
dogs and cats.

843
01:12:35,410 --> 01:12:40,310
So with that, I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have.

844
01:12:40,630 --> 01:12:47,210
At the end of the day, Allison Harms, Jeff Tippedon, we're kind of sitting on the sidelines

845
01:12:47,210 --> 01:12:52,330
as the mayor and I went through this process because we didn't know if we would do it.

846
01:12:52,330 --> 01:12:58,390
And B, we didn't know if they would actually sell it to us for less than a 2014 appraisal.

847
01:12:58,870 --> 01:13:04,110
When we all know property has escalated twofold, threefold since that time.

848
01:13:04,890 --> 01:13:08,750
And so, extremely happy with the folks,

849
01:13:09,230 --> 01:13:10,730
Abraham Communications and San Diego.

850
01:13:10,790 --> 01:13:12,690
They have a soft spot for bullhead city.

851
01:13:12,810 --> 01:13:15,710
They've owned this newspaper for a long time.

852
01:13:16,130 --> 01:13:19,750
And they're very pleased to be able to offer this to the city.

853
01:13:19,750 --> 01:13:24,610
They certainly could list it, it could be sliced and diced, something else could go there.

854
01:13:24,890 --> 01:13:30,210
But I think in their hearts, they saw the opportunity to work with the city and have the city,

855
01:13:30,550 --> 01:13:35,570
have an opportunity to have a first class, maybe world class animal shelter.

856
01:13:37,110 --> 01:13:38,250
We need it.

857
01:13:38,810 --> 01:13:40,590
We're in the process of building a new one.

858
01:13:41,050 --> 01:13:42,770
So we hired Selberg Associates.

859
01:13:43,250 --> 01:13:48,270
We have a contract with them for $180,000 to design a new facility.

860
01:13:48,270 --> 01:13:53,630
They've spent about $10,000 so far designing the new facility.

861
01:13:54,550 --> 01:13:59,490
This mostly conceptual ideas, how many canals do you need, what's the cap room look like,

862
01:13:59,530 --> 01:14:00,790
where the office is.

863
01:14:01,130 --> 01:14:02,630
So that's really not lost.

864
01:14:02,870 --> 01:14:05,210
That can be re-implemented in this new strategy.

865
01:14:06,430 --> 01:14:12,270
And we talk to their lead architect, one of their executives, they will do it for less than

866
01:14:12,270 --> 01:14:13,750
$180,000.

867
01:14:13,750 --> 01:14:20,290
So, the agreement we have with them will not need to come back to the city council, it's

868
01:14:20,290 --> 01:14:25,250
the same scope of service, so we will have the same architect taking those same concepts,

869
01:14:26,630 --> 01:14:32,310
redesigning the daily news building, repurposing some of the storage for a police department,

870
01:14:32,710 --> 01:14:39,390
but turning the bulk of that facility into a first class animal shelter for our team here and

871
01:14:39,390 --> 01:14:45,430
community here. I think that hits most of the highlights. I'm happy to answer any of your

872
01:14:45,430 --> 01:14:50,330
questions. Thank you Toby. I just want to add a couple of key things that you didn't

873
01:14:50,330 --> 01:14:55,210
purposely leave out, but they are also very important. The fact that we're going to save money,

874
01:14:55,370 --> 01:14:59,950
we're going to have to work for the police facility. It's going to be a state of the art place for animal.

875
01:15:00,420 --> 01:15:29,980
But we will also have it done. I would probably say at least a year, maybe two years sooner than we would have had the other shelter done. Two years. We already have the structure, now we just have to go in and get the insight done. And another important thing, where we're going to do the other shelter was be a land. So we never, we always would own the building. We never would own the land. Over here, we're going to own the land and the building. So there's a lot of things we could do there that we couldn't do over here. So I don't want to waste everybody's time. I'm excited about that.

876
01:15:29,980 --> 01:15:36,540
this. And Mayor, that is a key point, and just just to not reiterate what you said, but

877
01:15:36,540 --> 01:15:42,760
focus on that, using veterinary services as an example. When it's on federal land, the city

878
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:50,120
cannot contract out its buildings. We have to pay the vet. We have to be that person. Now we can have

879
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:56,520
partnerships with some of our agencies, but truly, if we own the building, we can have a contract with a

880
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:02,460
that can operate and offer services without our engagement, without our agreement, we can at

881
01:16:02,460 --> 01:16:07,200
just lease them space in a building on BLM land, we cannot do that.

882
01:16:07,500 --> 01:16:09,120
So it's a very good point that you made.

883
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,840
And for those that don't know, the city doesn't really own much of land.

884
01:16:15,980 --> 01:16:16,500
No, no.

885
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:16,700
No, no.

886
01:16:16,700 --> 01:16:19,920
Well, hopefully, all of the NINCE will have a special use.

887
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,260
But just we'll, everything we have is on BLM.

888
01:16:24,260 --> 01:16:27,360
You're sitting on B.O.M. rent land right now. City Hall is on B.O.M.

889
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:28,640
Our parks are on B.O.M.

890
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:34,240
So it's nice that we could finally have something that is actually the cities.

891
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:39,280
And hopefully, through my tenure as mayor, we're going to try to get as much as we can,

892
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:40,240
I'll invite the cities.

893
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,320
But with that being said, I don't want to waste your time.

894
01:16:43,700 --> 01:16:44,360
So I'll start the council.

895
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,200
Are there any comments or questions for anyone here?

896
01:16:47,460 --> 01:16:50,180
Mr. Mayor, I know we discussed this.

897
01:16:50,180 --> 01:17:05,180
I mean, but could you just guess, like, how the businesses that are surrounding might feel about this and then also if somebody does want to adopt a dog, specifically how we might use the parking lot, you know, as an area that people might be able to.

898
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:18,420
So there's a multitude of ideas, Councilwoman, about how we can arrange this facility and you know, let we'll let the community and our committee and our staff, you know, get the community engaged and find the right.

899
01:17:18,420 --> 01:17:26,680
design for this facility. Some of the parking lot could in fact be a dog run or an area because it's a big parking lot over 70

900
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:33,660
parking spaces and a bunch of on-street parking major malls next door. So parking is not an issue there

901
01:17:33,660 --> 01:17:35,900
So there could be some outside space

902
01:17:35,900 --> 01:17:41,860
As we mentioned there could be some inside space for dogs and we looked at some of those indoor dog parks

903
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:47,840
Some of the businesses surrounding this are some of the biggest advocates for

904
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:55,560
animals in our community, swanies, as a prime example, are once again giving the city $5,000

905
01:17:55,560 --> 01:18:01,900
for free adoptions next month. So, that's just an example of the neighbors we have. We'll

906
01:18:01,900 --> 01:18:06,940
have a state house that can go on through the whole neighborhood. These are people who love and support

907
01:18:06,940 --> 01:18:17,820
the shelter. Now, there's an alley that runs through there and that alley has to stay. Now, there's an

908
01:18:17,820 --> 01:18:21,820
to look at because I think that might be one that we talked to the neighborhood about

909
01:18:22,500 --> 01:18:26,120
stopping that traffic and if people want to cut out the back like for example

910
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,960
through Mojave Stakehouse just take the alley to the side streets rather than

911
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:34,360
taking it to Miracle Mile. That would be helpful beneficial but we'll talk to

912
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:39,240
all the neighboring businesses about that. Keep in mind that when we design this

913
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:44,940
modern, beautiful facility we will be considering the neighbor so soundproofing,

914
01:18:44,940 --> 01:18:52,260
ventilation, drainage, all of that will be designed with them in mind, as well as the animals so that

915
01:18:52,260 --> 01:18:54,820
the best neighbors that they could have.

916
01:18:55,300 --> 01:18:58,060
And there are ways to conceal sound.

917
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,820
Keep in mind, there were very loud printing presses in that building, not too long ago.

918
01:19:03,260 --> 01:19:05,500
And so we'll be able to work with the sound.

919
01:19:05,700 --> 01:19:10,680
We'll be able to work with any emissions through modern technology.

920
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:17,220
And then, of course, one of our largest expenses will be concrete and drainage so that we can be able to

921
01:19:17,220 --> 01:19:22,480
hose down and maintain a very clean and sanitary condition there.

922
01:19:23,940 --> 01:19:24,480
Last question, sorry.

923
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:31,120
So how many animals with the previous design have housed compared to this new animal shelter?

924
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:37,580
Jeff, for Alice, and do you know that off the top of your head, what we currently have, what you were designing for?

925
01:19:37,580 --> 01:19:48,280
This can be double that of whatever number Jeff has, so there's two numbers right the one that we currently have and then what you were designing for in the current silver design

926
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:54,900
Yeah, currently the animal shelter. We have capacity for 31 dogs 51 cats

927
01:19:54,900 --> 01:19:57,360
we were looking at going to

928
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,500
approximately 50 dogs and

929
01:19:59,500 --> 01:20:04,380
60 cats in the new one and of course this guy's a lemon on the

930
01:20:04,380 --> 01:20:04,880
additional.

931
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:14,180
My goal would be to have more canals. Hopefully my ultimate goal would be to not have to use any of them.

932
01:20:14,580 --> 01:20:19,360
But it was nice to have them. We all know what just happened in Golden Valley recently, where that isn't bullet city.

933
01:20:19,980 --> 01:20:22,720
We got to help our neighbors out too when stuff like that happens.

934
01:20:22,940 --> 01:20:27,320
So this has been a good time. We have all that from space to help them out.

935
01:20:27,700 --> 01:20:30,360
And the city's been doing great on adopting them out also lately.

936
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,340
So I think I look forward to it.

937
01:20:34,340 --> 01:20:39,580
I would ask whoever we're doing the planning, I'm not involved in that, Toby knows I would go crazy on it.

938
01:20:40,220 --> 01:20:44,380
But I would like to see a portion of outside insights fine too.

939
01:20:44,420 --> 01:20:45,460
I think that's a great idea.

940
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,320
I think Toby brought that up to have insight.

941
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:53,340
This we're not talking like rotary park where everyone brings her dogs in.

942
01:20:53,460 --> 01:20:54,840
This would be for the dogs in the shelter.

943
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:59,380
But I would love to almost demand that we have an outside area too.

944
01:20:59,460 --> 01:21:03,200
So these dogs still see daylight at some point in their life too.

945
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:08,100
But that being said, just in.

946
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,360
Yes, I mean, I've got about five courses I like.

947
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:13,700
I'd like to ask the Tobi regarding this property.

948
01:21:14,660 --> 01:21:15,980
A couple of more combined.

949
01:21:16,480 --> 01:21:19,660
Are there any leans against the property of the current time,

950
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,740
and are there any current unsolvable lawsuits against the property?

951
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:24,040
Yeah.

952
01:21:25,020 --> 01:21:28,140
My city attorney will advise me that we're waiting for the title report

953
01:21:28,140 --> 01:21:28,880
in the final.

954
01:21:29,420 --> 01:21:32,880
But none that we're aware of, and we've asked those questions

955
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:41,760
and none that we're disclosed to us, but of course, through a transaction, our legal team will make sure that we discover anything that should have been discovered.

956
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:47,220
Look, that's the question I have, as it gives us an approximation as to what the taxes will be for you.

957
01:21:47,580 --> 01:21:52,620
Zero. So we do not pay property tax on any municipal own facilities.

958
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:57,080
Thank you. One more. A couple more. I should say.

959
01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:02,980
If you mentioned about having a vet, if we could have a vet that is on call 24 hours

960
01:22:02,980 --> 01:22:09,120
because I know there's approximately 900 families transitioning between here and

961
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:14,380
Kingman on an annual basis, and a lot of people don't want to be running back and forth

962
01:22:14,380 --> 01:22:17,880
because of the wilderness in the dark, inclement weather, et cetera.

963
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,980
I know I'm wonderful. I've done that. I've been down when I had my dark,

964
01:22:22,980 --> 01:22:25,040
eventually, I could unfortunately have lost it.

965
01:22:25,380 --> 01:22:27,200
But that would be a big help to a lot of people

966
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:29,520
in town too, especially in the night when they're

967
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:31,680
doggy and a golf ball or something like that.

968
01:22:32,500 --> 01:22:36,040
Next question I have is, as far as the building is

969
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,040
something, the cooling that would get exists right there

970
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:44,220
with an extra generator, it need to have an additional room

971
01:22:44,220 --> 01:22:47,620
that would be used as a satellite cooling facility.

972
01:22:48,020 --> 01:22:50,160
One would get high temperatures and we have people

973
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,120
looking for more cooling rooms.

974
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:57,940
I think Council Member, we've looked at that and we won't rule it out because certainly

975
01:22:57,940 --> 01:23:04,080
generation, if the power goes out, will be beneficial to all the dogs and cats there there.

976
01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:06,660
So, could it be used for other dogs and cats?

977
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:13,220
Well, we've been talking to Catholic charities and now this something that wasn't brought up

978
01:23:13,220 --> 01:23:19,200
earlier in the presentation, but one of the reasons people don't stay at a shelter at our shelter

979
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,820
is because of their pet.

980
01:23:22,580 --> 01:23:24,760
And so one of the things we've looked at is

981
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,820
do we have a kennel or two that we can house them overnight

982
01:23:27,820 --> 01:23:30,900
while that person takes care of themselves.

983
01:23:31,480 --> 01:23:34,460
And so that's another opportunity that we've talked to.

984
01:23:34,700 --> 01:23:38,060
We were looking at that over here now it's so much closer.

985
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:42,160
So what a true benefit if we can work that program out some day.

986
01:23:42,860 --> 01:23:46,620
So ideally the generator for sure to power that building.

987
01:23:46,620 --> 01:23:55,780
So that if the power goes out our cats and dogs are all okay, but at the end of the day, if other people want to bring their dogs and cats in and we can offer that service

988
01:23:56,300 --> 01:23:59,860
That's something that we'll have Jeff and his team look at.

989
01:23:59,860 --> 01:24:04,920
Okay, one last question is as far as meeting groups that go up before both.

990
01:24:05,220 --> 01:24:05,460
Prop again.

991
01:24:06,300 --> 01:24:06,780
Correct.

992
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:14,560
Well, if there are some opportunities for meeting rooms, training rooms in there, I mean, they're already there actually.

993
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:25,420
There's a board room, a lunch room, some conference room or two, so depending on the ultimate design of this, and again, I think we've got great community members here.

994
01:24:25,660 --> 01:24:31,360
We're going to give Jeff and Allison a lot of input on how we should design that, and that's what the committee will do.

995
01:24:31,900 --> 01:24:41,900
And so if it ends up being a really nice community meeting room, I think the first priority would be those with animal issues, but if there's capacity, why not?

996
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:44,900
No further questions. Thank you very much.

997
01:24:46,540 --> 01:24:48,920
Mr. Mayor, just a quick comment.

998
01:24:49,420 --> 01:24:50,760
I just want to give a shout-out to the cell,

999
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:52,840
we're going to associate it and to brand communications

1000
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,240
and we're working with the city of making this possible.

1001
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:56,160
Thank you.

1002
01:24:58,470 --> 01:24:59,990
Anyone else who may open it up to the public?

1003
01:25:00,490 --> 01:25:01,330
Anyone from the public?

1004
01:25:02,350 --> 01:25:03,490
Eva has her hand up first.

1005
01:25:04,170 --> 01:25:06,610
You didn't even put your hand up, so sit back down.

1006
01:25:09,210 --> 01:25:10,890
All right. Go ahead and jump up anyway.

1007
01:25:11,810 --> 01:25:18,290
Good evening. My name is Terry Constantino, Mr. Mayor, City Council. Thank you so much.

1008
01:25:20,050 --> 01:25:28,570
I love the idea. I think that most of us love the idea of a less costly brand new shelter

1009
01:25:28,570 --> 01:25:32,510
with the skies, the limit. It almost sounds like I have just two concerns.

1010
01:25:32,970 --> 01:25:40,110
I have experienced flipping houses. We can do an amazing inspection in the house

1011
01:25:40,110 --> 01:25:45,850
but until you get into the house and actually break walls, you don't know what you have.

1012
01:25:46,270 --> 01:25:51,870
That's one of my concerns in building out this shelter from the existing building,

1013
01:25:52,650 --> 01:25:59,490
what possibilities there may be. So excuse me, my guess would be 10 to 15 percent

1014
01:25:59,490 --> 01:26:07,250
over anticipated cost just to cover those unknown expenses. The other piece and maybe the biggest

1015
01:26:07,250 --> 01:26:15,850
piece for me as our mayor suggested is the outside section. All of us, we need vitamin D. We

1016
01:26:15,850 --> 01:26:21,070
know animals need vitamin D. We need to allow our animals to have access to the outside.

1017
01:26:21,710 --> 01:26:27,770
Having brand new canals that have an in and out capacity would be ideal. Will that be able

1018
01:26:27,770 --> 01:26:33,130
to be built within this existing building? That would be my other.

1019
01:26:33,130 --> 01:26:46,940
Happy to answer both questions. As I mentioned in the presentation, we're hoping it can come in for less than two to three million in the remodel, but our architect had said plan for two

1020
01:26:47,670 --> 01:26:52,160
Hope for two, it could be more. So there there is work to do

1021
01:26:53,270 --> 01:26:57,230
So we have that money right now to buy the building

1022
01:26:57,230 --> 01:27:08,350
We'll put it for the 3 million in the upcoming fiscal year, it'll take two about July and August to do all the design work and then we'll go out to bid and we'll find out from our contractors

1023
01:27:08,350 --> 01:27:14,690
If we can in fact do it for that two to three million, we believe that three is on the extreme high end

1024
01:27:14,690 --> 01:27:22,170
But I didn't want to come here until council would be a million in an end of being three. I don't want to do that. So, and then as far as the design

1025
01:27:22,170 --> 01:27:27,170
And those aspects haven't been done, saying it's more than welcome to come to all of our

1026
01:27:27,170 --> 01:27:33,030
meetings and participate and be part of Jeff's team as we design this new facility.

1027
01:27:34,970 --> 01:27:40,010
It's probably not possible to have dog runs go right out in the back alley or right into

1028
01:27:40,010 --> 01:27:42,670
the front yard, but it hasn't been designed yet.

1029
01:27:43,090 --> 01:27:46,950
What we do know is that there's half-acre parking lot that we can work with.

1030
01:27:47,670 --> 01:27:51,150
So is there a hallway, is there a design that can work?

1031
01:27:51,150 --> 01:27:56,570
So those are things that we really need to sit down and take the plans and start working with

1032
01:27:56,570 --> 01:27:57,530
the architect on.

1033
01:27:58,110 --> 01:28:03,810
What we do know is there are some opportunities there, and we know that we've got the

1034
01:28:03,810 --> 01:28:05,250
land outside to make it work.

1035
01:28:05,410 --> 01:28:11,190
We don't need 70 parking spots on a typical day, and with hundreds of on-street spots we

1036
01:28:11,190 --> 01:28:13,090
know we can do something with that parking lot.

1037
01:28:13,870 --> 01:28:15,910
So there are some options there.

1038
01:28:15,910 --> 01:28:25,990
So, a little bit different design, but nevertheless, we're going to get something great for our animals, so can there be some natural light coming in?

1039
01:28:26,230 --> 01:28:32,050
Can they have opportunities outside? Can they have an inside place space? There's a lot of those things can be researched.

1040
01:28:32,690 --> 01:28:34,810
Thank you so much. Thank you, Jerry.

1041
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:40,880
Even, and then your next, after you.

1042
01:28:45,950 --> 01:28:48,770
Even, Corbett Bull has city congratulations.

1043
01:28:50,090 --> 01:28:52,930
This is what we've been waiting for for so many years.

1044
01:28:54,370 --> 01:28:57,590
My other, my question is, what's going to happen with the old facility?

1045
01:28:58,650 --> 01:29:00,370
You're going to turn it into something else?

1046
01:29:01,050 --> 01:29:01,910
Or, you don't know yet?

1047
01:29:02,110 --> 01:29:03,470
Yeah, I can answer that question.

1048
01:29:03,570 --> 01:29:07,370
I mean, we do have an ongoing storage need for public works.

1049
01:29:07,370 --> 01:29:10,650
as they've grown, police as well.

1050
01:29:11,330 --> 01:29:15,630
So that facility is old-aged, as Councilmember Head said,

1051
01:29:16,270 --> 01:29:17,990
it was built in the 80s.

1052
01:29:18,150 --> 01:29:21,130
And so it's going to need to be remodeled,

1053
01:29:22,070 --> 01:29:24,810
but our main priority would not be what's going there.

1054
01:29:25,050 --> 01:29:27,670
Our main priority would be how we renovate

1055
01:29:27,670 --> 01:29:28,670
the daily news building.

1056
01:29:28,850 --> 01:29:31,550
And then ultimately, once we're moved out

1057
01:29:31,550 --> 01:29:32,850
and everything's operational,

1058
01:29:33,070 --> 01:29:35,570
then we can focus on what that may be.

1059
01:29:35,570 --> 01:29:40,410
There is a trailer next door that has pretty much served its useful life.

1060
01:29:40,770 --> 01:29:46,770
Billy has looked at that with our planner and it's at the end of its life.

1061
01:29:46,950 --> 01:29:50,150
So that trailer will probably be gone as well.

1062
01:29:50,530 --> 01:29:59,210
And then that building can be modified for some very limited small 4,000 square foot facility used to be determined.

1063
01:30:00,340 --> 01:30:01,400
Okay, G.

1064
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:42,120
She has more friends than I do. She's such a good girl. I was just wondering, when this building is going to be so big, it could be a no-kill, right? A no-kill shelter.

1065
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:54,120
Well, I'll let Jeff address that, I mean, essentially over the past two years, I mean, we've been functioning in that capacity, except for those individuals who bring their

1066
01:30:54,120 --> 01:31:03,500
That's too awesome, you know, that are ill and dying, but all at Jeff, speak to that because what he was telling me was pretty impressive.

1067
01:31:04,740 --> 01:31:15,700
Yeah, the, which I'll give credit to Ali and the team, the savory, which we've been working with best friends a lot the last six months, and of course was Satan, all the other groups.

1068
01:31:17,020 --> 01:31:20,020
The numbers from two to three years ago are,

1069
01:31:20,020 --> 01:31:22,380
savory was 57%.

1070
01:31:22,380 --> 01:31:26,640
This past year from January 22 through December of 22,

1071
01:31:26,820 --> 01:31:32,240
we were 86% currently February was one of our best

1072
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:36,060
months we've had and we were 91.5% on our savory.

1073
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:42,580
With the addition of bet services things like that

1074
01:31:42,580 --> 01:31:44,820
and we're partnering with other shelters that are

1075
01:31:44,820 --> 01:31:51,840
achieving that, like then Lake Havasu, we're almost there and can easily hit that.

1076
01:31:52,180 --> 01:31:58,260
Well, I know some people will come in and bring their dog in or cat, whatever they put them down.

1077
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:00,340
But we don't have to do that.

1078
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:14,360
So, you know, and I hope that the new shelter will have an outside the kennels of the dogs and whatever.

1079
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:23,000
We'll be able to go out, to go potty in a fence-dane area right outside their kennels.

1080
01:32:24,180 --> 01:32:29,100
And again, we're going to work on all of that and determine what that future looks like for

1081
01:32:29,100 --> 01:32:34,800
the design and that can start as early as when we, you know, when we approve this item,

1082
01:32:34,980 --> 01:32:38,380
if the council does that tonight and getting our architect on that job.

1083
01:32:38,380 --> 01:32:50,340
Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay, real good because no kill is what I'm hoping for and yes. Thank you.

1084
01:32:50,340 --> 01:32:51,380
Thank you.

1085
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:07,200
Sir anyone else?

1086
01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:15,360
She's not a baby, and she has six adorable puppies on her side.

1087
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:16,400
No, too.

1088
01:33:17,440 --> 01:33:25,420
She had six adorable puppies, and I found them all amazing homes.

1089
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,780
And there is a place here in full head if you haven't already been there.

1090
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:30,400
It's called happy place.

1091
01:33:30,820 --> 01:33:33,800
And they sell soup and salads and sandwiches.

1092
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:36,560
is happy as one of her babies.

1093
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:39,920
I'm sorry.

1094
01:33:50,670 --> 01:33:54,110
I told you, answered a lot of my questions.

1095
01:33:55,910 --> 01:34:00,350
Like the dog noise, I think you'll be able to do something about that.

1096
01:34:00,490 --> 01:34:04,330
That is my non-industrial, although it can certainly be with the water going through there.

1097
01:34:04,530 --> 01:34:07,710
You've had nothing but problems that have cleared that place up every kind of range.

1098
01:34:08,170 --> 01:34:15,190
It's got to, I wouldn't be our intention to build on it, but maybe talk about traffic going through there.

1099
01:34:15,890 --> 01:34:18,330
But certainly it would always operate for drainage.

1100
01:34:19,730 --> 01:34:25,690
So we're going to be, well, it's actually better for us to own that because we can do what we want to.

1101
01:34:25,790 --> 01:34:28,010
Because that drain is going across us for, you know what I'm saying?

1102
01:34:28,190 --> 01:34:30,870
I think you're better off having that and gust your road.

1103
01:34:31,870 --> 01:34:33,930
You know what those snakes come down there? That was in the paper?

1104
01:34:34,550 --> 01:34:37,810
four-quarters? Yeah, four-minute camel.

1105
01:34:41,310 --> 01:34:44,370
What I go, I did. Well, I don't know. It sounds

1106
01:34:44,370 --> 01:34:49,990
like you guys did. There's some talking about appraisals. There's not a whole bunch

1107
01:34:49,990 --> 01:34:55,930
of, I just worked for an MMI, so I've had a experience, so I'm not taking every real estate

1108
01:34:55,930 --> 01:35:05,630
class of him, a leader from the county recorder's office, so this is the property that

1109
01:35:05,630 --> 01:35:11,350
just sold down the street there, just west of the homeless shelter, that whole strip

1110
01:35:11,350 --> 01:35:18,990
land there on the between Riverview and up to open, the whole thing, only went for $200,000.

1111
01:35:18,990 --> 01:35:26,210
It's pretty close to the same property you're buying, you know, the vacant lot.

1112
01:35:27,550 --> 01:35:32,670
But yeah, I wouldn't pay a set for anything here, that's almost shelter to start with.

1113
01:35:33,110 --> 01:35:44,200
Now, like these, that place down on American mile, 2730, it's sold for 649,000, the building

1114
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:47,280
on it and that's quite a bit older but

1115
01:35:49,330 --> 01:35:53,090
yeah we're going to get some more

1116
01:35:53,090 --> 01:35:58,750
storage units guess who bought it my hobby story don't boy pods are coming

1117
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:09,220
overpriced there had to be something illegal about if I have the whole town

1118
01:36:14,500 --> 01:36:14,940
okay

1119
01:36:14,940 --> 01:36:19,480
but I'm also worried about what I've run into and I've rebuilt some schools

1120
01:36:19,480 --> 01:36:22,900
stuff. We ran into a lot of us Festos.

1121
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:28,020
Anywhere there's the kitchen or water in that place,

1122
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:34,600
you better check if that can be really expensive to get rid of. Or even if you in case

1123
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:39,040
that you don't want to do that, I've had to run in. I've run in there as Festos has been in case.

1124
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:46,540
Kicking a can down the road, so I don't know, a man, a couple of me or whatever it was.

1125
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:48,960
I think the price is pretty cool,

1126
01:36:51,420 --> 01:36:52,780
willing buyer, willing seller.

1127
01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:58,920
Scottie, Mayor DiMico, if I could just address that real quick through the new build.

1128
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:03,880
There's not a lot of us best as concerns because it was remodeled here recently.

1129
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:04,440
$2,000.

1130
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:12,380
And there was over $2.2 million put into that remodel and almost all of its good portion of

1131
01:37:12,380 --> 01:37:14,420
its new I should say half of it.

1132
01:37:14,420 --> 01:37:19,220
We also looked at other appraisals just so you in the community know, where Maverick is

1133
01:37:19,220 --> 01:37:24,760
building on the corner where the old L. Plascia was, they paid $1.5 million to tear that building

1134
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:25,380
down.

1135
01:37:25,620 --> 01:37:29,700
So we're paying about the same amount, what they paid to tear building down.

1136
01:37:29,700 --> 01:37:36,460
And then the strip mall just took over here, right in your Buffalo Wild Wings, two building

1137
01:37:36,460 --> 01:37:44,820
south of Buffalo Wild Wings, just sold for 1.5 million, and it's basically about a third

1138
01:37:44,820 --> 01:37:47,500
of the size, even less than a third of the size.

1139
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:54,700
So we looked at appraisals as well, and again, competitive pricing, we believe we're getting

1140
01:37:54,700 --> 01:37:56,140
a very fair price.

1141
01:37:56,140 --> 01:37:58,700
Yeah, this property is sold.

1142
01:37:59,020 --> 01:38:00,940
Yeah, you probably didn't even know about that.

1143
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,240
It wasn't, yeah.

1144
01:38:04,780 --> 01:38:07,140
It wasn't one that we factored in.

1145
01:38:07,740 --> 01:38:07,940
All right.

1146
01:38:08,100 --> 01:38:09,400
Does anyone else?

1147
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:10,260
Yes, ma'am.

1148
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:12,780
No.

1149
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:14,180
We have to come up here if you don't speak.

1150
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:28,480
Yes.

1151
01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:28,980
Take your name.

1152
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:30,140
My name's Ivy.

1153
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,020
And I'm not going to give you my phone number.

1154
01:38:34,780 --> 01:38:35,780
Wait, I need your phone number.

1155
01:38:35,780 --> 01:38:39,900
There was no, that would be putting my advertisement out for free.

1156
01:38:41,180 --> 01:38:42,800
Yeah, my wife would get mad too.

1157
01:38:44,340 --> 01:38:45,360
Well, I'm a seamstress.

1158
01:38:45,820 --> 01:38:46,380
I'll see there.

1159
01:38:47,180 --> 01:38:47,480
Okay.

1160
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:49,520
But I have my city business license.

1161
01:38:49,700 --> 01:38:53,120
But my main concern is right now with the shelter being open.

1162
01:38:53,660 --> 01:38:56,700
It's not open on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

1163
01:38:57,700 --> 01:38:59,900
And people who work five days a week,

1164
01:39:00,980 --> 01:39:04,640
they want to come in and bring their children to pick up, you know, pet.

1165
01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:14,640
And I think that, I mean, if you guys can afford $3 million to build a new building, I think you need new employees to run

1166
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:32,040
Friday, at least Friday, and Saturday, I mean, what's, you know, that's, and then, and then, too, have a permanent, you know, you guys have enough money if you're going to spend $3 million on a building, you can have a full time staff at night

1167
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:44,040
to employ people that go out and help the animals that are in distress, laying in the street,

1168
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:48,580
might being alive still, might being able to save them alive.

1169
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:54,300
And then, so I believe the hours need to be changed, and I realize the police department

1170
01:39:54,300 --> 01:39:59,040
And how are these people that's not doing more?

1171
01:39:59,060 --> 01:39:59,280
No.

1172
01:39:59,860 --> 01:40:04,400
So you answered on what the hours will be once the new shelters open.

1173
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:08,640
We considered expanding and with the new one, of course,

1174
01:40:08,860 --> 01:40:11,120
Friday would be an absolute in Saturday.

1175
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:16,940
We're currently looking at some adoption events where we'll have a couple of Saturdays each month

1176
01:40:16,940 --> 01:40:19,060
where we're doing some adoption events currently.

1177
01:40:19,420 --> 01:40:23,580
So with the new building, yes, that's our intent to be open on Friday and Saturday.

1178
01:40:23,580 --> 01:40:31,400
What you're going to spend $3 million on the building for increasing animal shelter, I mean,

1179
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:38,060
there's week here for animals for the cats, where Rebecca is the sponsor of week here

1180
01:40:38,060 --> 01:40:45,180
for animals and what she does is she teaches people how to trap the apparel cats and then

1181
01:40:45,180 --> 01:40:51,120
once they trap them, they transport them to the low-cost Bay and Luther Clinic in Kingman.

1182
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:57,980
and so that that that feral cat can become a house cat so rather than have a great big

1183
01:40:57,980 --> 01:41:05,720
animal shelter I think we just need to keep the one that we have and this is about the new

1184
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:12,400
animal shelter. That's a lot of money. Is it is? Mayor Dimeco. Just for clarification the police department

1185
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:19,360
does not hire the the shelter employees Mr. Tipton and Elson harms do just when a fundamental

1186
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:23,820
change in that. It's certainly nothing against the police department. It's just they hire

1187
01:41:23,820 --> 01:41:29,160
different people than we do. I just want to read one sentence that I didn't read when I introduced

1188
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:36,380
the item. This new shelter, staff police will significantly improve community engagement, fundraising,

1189
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:42,420
volunteerism, and increased partnerships with all animal service agencies. It is anticipated

1190
01:41:42,420 --> 01:41:48,380
that additional hours of operation will be available once the new shelter is open. And if that

1191
01:41:48,380 --> 01:41:56,960
You told me it comes true that was just mentioned at the podium, and we have no more dogs and cats to adopt out and no one's bringing them to us

1192
01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:01,720
We have a 27,000 square foot facility that we own that can be

1193
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:05,460
Reaper-pist, reused, remodeled, down-sized, up-sized

1194
01:42:06,480 --> 01:42:12,840
But history tells us that that's not gonna happen every day people bring us cats and dogs

1195
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:18,360
It won't happen. We need the space our communities growing and the reality is we will

1196
01:42:18,380 --> 01:42:24,160
grow into 27,000 square feet someday. We've been budgeting and planning for this day for many

1197
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:29,520
years and I'm here to tell you we have the funding to buy the building today. We will budget

1198
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:37,100
the 3 million to repurpose the facility and then we will also budget our ongoing operations and

1199
01:42:37,100 --> 01:42:43,120
maintenance costs to fully operate the shelter. And if I had it my way I would put some of these

1200
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:47,740
about owners in the cages, but not a preview.

1201
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:50,300
If there's no one else from anyone else from the audience,

1202
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,720
if not, then I'm going to make a motion

1203
01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:54,920
to approve item number two as written.

1204
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:57,380
All right, catch your votes.

1205
01:42:58,440 --> 01:43:00,460
Vice Mayor Brummit, your vote.

1206
01:43:04,450 --> 01:43:06,330
Seven in favor of the motion motion carries.

1207
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:11,660
Item number three.

1208
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:14,620
Scussion-poss collection to want to approve and direct the mayor

1209
01:43:14,620 --> 01:43:17,140
to execute opioid settlement agreements

1210
01:43:17,140 --> 01:43:23,080
with Tiva, L again, CVS, Wal-Mart, and Wal-Greens, too, authorized the mayor or any person

1211
01:43:23,080 --> 01:43:27,920
succeeding to that office to execute future settlement agreements reached under the umbrella

1212
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:33,780
of the one Arizona settlement agreement and further three direct city staff to receive settlement

1213
01:43:33,780 --> 01:43:38,860
disbursement amounts account for and expend funds in accordance with controlling agreements

1214
01:43:38,860 --> 01:43:40,620
in applicable law.

1215
01:43:40,620 --> 01:43:42,240
Mayor, do you meet go council members?

1216
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:44,820
Our city attorney, Garnam, we will present this item.

1217
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:46,620
Good evening, Mayor.

1218
01:43:46,940 --> 01:43:47,400
Council members.

1219
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:51,400
This is a second distribution opportunity of the opioid settlements.

1220
01:43:51,660 --> 01:43:53,020
There will be more coming.

1221
01:43:53,620 --> 01:43:58,920
This settlement involves a TAVA allergen CVS Walmart and Walgreens.

1222
01:44:00,020 --> 01:44:05,980
It nets about $434 additional million dollars to the state of Arizona.

1223
01:44:05,980 --> 01:44:12,020
And that brings up the state of Arizona as we see to about 976 million.

1224
01:44:12,780 --> 01:44:19,720
This settlement itself will net the city of Bullhead City about one and a half million

1225
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:24,800
about the same as the last settlement did with other distributors in Jansson.

1226
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:27,960
It's anticipated there will probably be three or more settlements.

1227
01:44:27,980 --> 01:44:33,740
This all comes under the umbrella, the agreement of that, a number of the attorneys general

1228
01:44:34,660 --> 01:44:46,440
Mark Braunovich reached a resolution with this multi litigation that's been taking place in the district courts.

1229
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:52,140
Most of the, when we first started this, we weren't sure how many of these were going to come to the table.

1230
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:57,760
It looks like most of them are all coming to the table. Now, they all want a global resolution.

1231
01:44:58,740 --> 01:44:59,940
They want to resolve them.

1232
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:10,180
We don't want to have other parties litigating. They want to enter settlement agreements. And so there's going to be a number of these coming this way. That's what this is about.

1233
01:45:10,780 --> 01:45:27,360
These monies have to be used for the same purpose for the opioid abuse treatment, the effects of the entry of the opioid abuse and responses to it.

1234
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:37,220
So Toby and his team already have a program in place where this is going to be used primarily in their backup program.

1235
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:51,480
So we're just asking for your approval of this as the distributors have to have to have actual affirmative approval on each one of these because they're different distributors that are involved.

1236
01:45:51,480 --> 01:45:57,580
But it's basically the same rules that are evolved for a county and use of the funds.

1237
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:04,280
But the additional thing we're asking for at this point in time is knowing that these are going to be coming forth.

1238
01:46:05,420 --> 01:46:10,480
With additional ones in the future, we're asking that you preauthorize these things.

1239
01:46:10,620 --> 01:46:17,840
If there's changes in the terms or use of these monies, they're different than what exists right now.

1240
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:22,760
them we'd certainly come back and inform you of that so you could make another determination.

1241
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:28,400
But given that we anticipate they're going to be the same, we're going to be asking for your

1242
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:33,780
approval in advance to have the city mayor, whoever that might be, because he's maybe passed

1243
01:46:33,780 --> 01:46:38,940
a new council to go ahead and be able to approve these. Any questions?

1244
01:46:38,940 --> 01:46:39,840
I

1245
01:46:42,270 --> 01:46:44,790
don't know a question in the comments. Anyone from the audience?

1246
01:46:47,090 --> 01:46:47,150
Billy?

1247
01:46:53,460 --> 01:46:57,160
This sounds like something that's really, really positive.

1248
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:03,200
With this funding go for to help the homeless,

1249
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:08,280
that so many of them are probably addicted or veterans that are out there,

1250
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:10,780
that have addiction problems?

1251
01:47:10,780 --> 01:47:18,640
It would, and Mayor, if you don't mind having the chief give a 30-second commercial on the

1252
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:23,720
backup program, because it really is in just for the homeless or veterans, it's for the

1253
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:29,000
entire community, and the chief could probably explain to you in 30 seconds what that program

1254
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:30,020
does.

1255
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:31,660
Thank you, Toby.

1256
01:47:32,740 --> 01:47:38,120
Yeah, so the backup program that's work currently hiring for hopefully get that up and

1257
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:48,160
and real soon is model off to our program out of Eugene Oregon PD and it's mental health

1258
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:54,940
professionals and medical professionals that will be out responding to mental health issues,

1259
01:47:55,920 --> 01:48:01,080
homeless issues, and other things that usually have some kind of component to mental health

1260
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:08,100
and or substance abuse, so they'll be out in the community responding so police who are

1261
01:48:08,100 --> 01:48:12,660
handle such things, we'll be able to take those over from police after they make it safe.

1262
01:48:14,620 --> 01:48:18,340
It sounds like something's really be positive for our community.

1263
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:19,660
We need it.

1264
01:48:19,860 --> 01:48:20,340
Thank you.

1265
01:48:20,720 --> 01:48:21,560
Anyone else just?

1266
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:36,080
I need a side of the young men's.

1267
01:48:36,860 --> 01:48:44,520
And I have a question about, what did Tiva and Johnson are both from a suitable company?

1268
01:48:44,820 --> 01:48:49,040
But what do they have to do with the control of the opioid use?

1269
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:57,980
These are settlements on the distribution and consumption of opioids.

1270
01:48:59,020 --> 01:49:07,840
So these are broad ranging overreaching lawsuit settlement cases because they devastated

1271
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:11,580
our community over the last 20 years.

1272
01:49:12,220 --> 01:49:14,500
They're paying for the people they've killed.

1273
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:25,940
Go Tiva and Johnson are, Tiva and Johnson are, oh, the Orbid Suppliers, oh, okay, thank you.

1274
01:49:26,140 --> 01:49:31,960
Anyone else? If there's no one I'll take a moment. Mr. Mayor, I'm moved if we approve. I have number three as prison.

1275
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:32,360
Second.

1276
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,840
Vice Mayor Brumman, your vote.

1277
01:49:39,730 --> 01:49:40,710
Did you lose her?

1278
01:49:41,790 --> 01:49:43,710
Six in favor of the motion motion carries.

1279
01:49:44,010 --> 01:49:45,450
All right, thank you. Those are really, thank you.
