1
00:01:55,950 --> 00:02:06,450
Supervisors to order. Bre, can I have a roll call, please? Supervisor Geomi. Supervisor White. Supervisor Horton. Supervisor

2
00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:15,090
Shuddy. Mayor Bagwell. Here, a quorum is present. Thank you so much. And then already ready to get us started this morning is a

3
00:02:16,330 --> 00:02:23,150
Pastor Peggy today. Sometimes the husband does. I love it. Get us started today.

4
00:02:23,150 --> 00:02:23,970
Thank you.

5
00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:28,270
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.

6
00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:31,710
Before the mountains were brought forth,

7
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:34,190
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,

8
00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:38,270
from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

9
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:42,030
Psalm 90, once true to you.

10
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:46,450
Almighty God, Father in heaven, we praise your name,

11
00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:49,570
and we're thankful for the privilege to gather together

12
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:55,990
this morning and commit our time to you. We ask for your wisdom and discernment upon our

13
00:02:55,990 --> 00:03:01,370
Board of Supervisors as they work together and make decisions that will affect the people of

14
00:03:01,370 --> 00:03:09,250
our beloved city. We ask for your divine grace, godly wisdom, and understanding. We invite your

15
00:03:09,250 --> 00:03:17,290
presence in our midst, lead and guide us, we pray. To those who are weary, we ask for a renewing of

16
00:03:17,290 --> 00:03:25,190
strength and endurance. Bless our families and our coworkers and to those in attendance today.

17
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:32,350
We pray for your continued protection for those who heroically serve in harm's way.

18
00:03:33,170 --> 00:03:39,810
We remember those who sacrifice their very lives to save others 25 years ago on September 11th.

19
00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:46,430
We will never forget. We pray for our mayor and each one of our board of supervisors

20
00:03:46,430 --> 00:04:09,470
our share of and fire departments. We continue to pray for our teachers and for our students. May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit, Romans 15, 13, and in Jesus name we pray. Amen.

21
00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:12,490
Thank you so much. I'm so appreciated.

22
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:18,110
Surge, would you like to do the honor of leading the pledge?

23
00:04:19,570 --> 00:04:22,430
Right, we're going to keep them right to the very end.

24
00:04:40,190 --> 00:04:49,690
We're now on our opening public comment and I have Genie Elder that is asked to speak

25
00:04:49,690 --> 00:04:56,530
at the beginning. Do you need to come on up? It's great. Oh, welcome.

26
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:32,800
Perfect. My name is Jeanne Elder. I am a Carson City resident and I live on Parkland Avenue. My concern today is that our little beloved street that used to be a cult exec is now a runway all the way to little lane. Our 25 mile an hour has gone to 40 miles an hour and nobody slows down. We have children, we have animals and we have deer that frequent

27
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:41,300
our neighborhood constantly and nobody's coming to slow them down. My wish is that we could get

28
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:50,240
a 25 mile an hour posted sign or a speed bump on our street because I have an 11 and seven

29
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,840
year old granddaughter that come and stay with me often and they can't even play for fear of

30
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,600
the car down the street hitting them. I don't know what to do about that. So I'm

31
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,760
coming to you to see if I can get help because I love my neighborhood. We have a

32
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:14,200
beautiful neighborhood, elderly neighbors, and I'm just trying to get things

33
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,620
fixed. Sorry I'm a little nervous. And the other thing is we have like 15

34
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:23,860
ferro cats. I don't know if there's anything that you can do about those because

35
00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:26,720
because they're, what do they call them?

36
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,260
They have a name for them.

37
00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:31,320
Anyway, they keep having babies and we have 15 of them

38
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,860
and they use our yards to, you know,

39
00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:38,460
which everybody needs to go somewhere, but anyway.

40
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,660
But my main concern is to speed limit

41
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,860
since they built a little lane housing.

42
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,080
Our street is like a runway.

43
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:52,060
Even the, even the waste management truck

44
00:06:52,060 --> 00:06:59,160
goes about 40 miles an hour down the road and it is a 25 mile an hour street. So

45
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,120
if there's absolutely anything at all that can be done about that, I would love

46
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:11,940
to see that done, you know, to protect our street neighborhood. Okay, thank you.

47
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:18,920
Thank you. You did great. Thank you. I don't have anyone else signed up at the

48
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,080
at the beginning of the meeting,

49
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,980
but is there any other, Danny?

50
00:07:35,290 --> 00:07:37,750
Hello, Danny French, Carson City, Nevada.

51
00:07:39,050 --> 00:07:41,770
I'm hearing today in spite of myself.

52
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:47,700
My hope is that I will get a chance

53
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:49,880
to talk to the people in this community

54
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,880
that are dealing with the basic issues

55
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,620
of individuals' lives from their health to their passing.

56
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:04,280
And that's fish, health and human services, knots, et cetera, et cetera.

57
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:11,380
I also want to bring up the fact that flock has been in the city news, has been in

58
00:08:11,380 --> 00:08:13,540
the state news and has gone national.

59
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:21,920
And those guidelines and railings that we were maybe a little short on should be reconsidered.

60
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,820
I would actually like the board to consider retracting that contract.

61
00:08:27,820 --> 00:08:31,200
The mayor had once said there's no contact we can't get out of.

62
00:08:31,780 --> 00:08:38,180
We've always written something in that will allow us to exit a circumstance if it doesn't work out well.

63
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,940
I'd also like to bring up the Hock Fire.

64
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:47,640
Hock Fire response by cert and their volunteers in the fire departments and

65
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:53,520
the community communications are reviewing their efforts.

66
00:08:53,520 --> 00:09:22,820
And through that review, hopefully we'll come up with ways to have everybody advised and knowing, but prevention is one of the biggest things that I think we're missing and Carson directly related to our red flag and our seasonal changes which really require us to advise the community that we are in a drought that we are having this type of weather and we have these type of restraints and considerations we'd like you to be aware of.

67
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:30,020
I can't look at the clock apparently, it's a trigger for some of my issues, so somebody

68
00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:31,300
cut me off when you're ready.

69
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,980
I feel that we are not taking advantage of the studies that are out there about sleep

70
00:09:36,980 --> 00:09:37,900
deprivation.

71
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,260
Education people already are doing that.

72
00:09:41,740 --> 00:09:47,500
A hungry child and a one that hasn't slept is going to have more behavioral issues, more

73
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:56,060
psychological restraints and intellectual downtime. It's like having a permanent fog when

74
00:09:56,060 --> 00:09:59,940
you're not able to get the sleep you need. I feel that part of it.

75
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:29,800
Issues that homeless are dealing with right now are lack of sleep, the lack of nutrition, the lack of transportation, and all of those things I would like them to review in more specific ways with the individual services. And I'm hoping that those fine needs are suggestions that I give will bring up questions of nothing else as to how and why we're putting money into more record keeping instead of perhaps having every

76
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:38,120
officer train like most would and most able to respond to only certain situations while

77
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,660
every sheriff is responsible. Thank you. Thank you.

78
00:10:41,860 --> 00:10:45,280
Senator, any other? Come on. All

79
00:10:55,070 --> 00:10:59,170
right. Spike McGuire for the record. I'm the executive

80
00:10:59,170 --> 00:11:02,790
director of a brewery art center and I just wanted to pop in. We just got done with another

81
00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:08,810
great year of the Levitt Amp summer concert series. So I just wanted to thank really everyone

82
00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:13,090
of the city for being so supportive over the last 10 years is really grown into a beautiful thing.

83
00:11:13,690 --> 00:11:17,370
We ended with the very first ban that we started the series with and I think it was our highest

84
00:11:17,370 --> 00:11:21,250
attendant event. So it's just really great that it's become such a great part of the fabric

85
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:25,050
of the Carson City culture. So I want to thank, of course, all of you. I want to thank

86
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:32,100
Kenny for a share of presence out there and just that it was a very safe event and I also want to

87
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:37,400
thank John Bockdale, the emergency manager for the city who's been just a great support and

88
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,480
making sure that we are well outfitted to take care of anything that might come up.

89
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,620
And of course, hope and Cecilia and everyone we work with for the permit.

90
00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:46,660
So just a big thank you to everyone for another successful year.

91
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,380
It's my favorite part of my job and we could not do it without the city support.

92
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,080
And we have the Murals and Music Festival is going on this weekend.

93
00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:57,900
I think we might hear more from somebody else in their public comments.

94
00:11:58,140 --> 00:12:00,480
So go too much on that, but I do want to invite you.

95
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,460
We're doing a concert tomorrow night in the Performance Hall of Brewery Arts Center for part of that.

96
00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:08,780
we have an artist coming from Colorado and another artist coming from Oregon so fun to get

97
00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:17,520
some folks coming in for that. And since I'm here I just wanted to say I've checked out the plan

98
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,580
for the Carson City Bike Project and I know that their MOU is on the agenda today. And I just wanted

99
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:26,440
to say that I'm a big supporter of that project. I think the trail systems we have are amazing.

100
00:12:26,740 --> 00:12:31,400
I think everything that they are doing and the muscle power folks are doing is really great and

101
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,960
And that is a big sector of tourism is just the mountain biker and the adventure

102
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,420
supporters.

103
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:39,660
So when you're looking at that later, I just wanted to toss my support for that as well.

104
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:41,900
And I want to get out of here with a little time on the clock.

105
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:42,880
So thank you very much.

106
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:43,680
Thanks.

107
00:12:45,450 --> 00:12:46,750
Do I have further better?

108
00:12:52,810 --> 00:12:56,530
Good morning, Eric Brooks, Arts and Culture program manager for Visit Carson City.

109
00:12:56,610 --> 00:12:57,410
Thank you for having me.

110
00:12:58,030 --> 00:13:01,730
Music and Murals Festival, the fourth and final one as well underway.

111
00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:03,410
A couple of big highlights.

112
00:13:03,410 --> 00:13:09,230
We have four international artists, two BASC artists from Spain, our hair, Jocelyn and Laura.

113
00:13:09,690 --> 00:13:14,250
They'll be doing all ages workshop this evening on collage.

114
00:13:14,670 --> 00:13:18,790
Their work will also be shown at the Reno Tahoe International Art Show this weekend.

115
00:13:19,650 --> 00:13:26,390
And they're painting a mural on the back of grocery outlet facing Longstreet where we did the big train bird mural last year.

116
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:30,310
that has Washoe Basque and Carson Landscapes.

117
00:13:30,530 --> 00:13:32,090
Washoe people, a Basque shepherd,

118
00:13:32,450 --> 00:13:34,310
and the Carson Landscape all within it.

119
00:13:34,510 --> 00:13:35,430
Another great highlight.

120
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:38,170
And by the way, they will be bringing back

121
00:13:38,170 --> 00:13:41,050
pictures and images of Carson City and the mural

122
00:13:41,790 --> 00:13:43,750
for TV interviews and print.

123
00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:46,370
So we'll be having a big international splash

124
00:13:46,370 --> 00:13:48,350
because of this festival there.

125
00:13:49,090 --> 00:13:50,630
Hisco is here from Australia.

126
00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:52,110
He'll be finishing the Mark Twainwall,

127
00:13:52,370 --> 00:13:53,410
which is near LA Bakery.

128
00:13:53,410 --> 00:13:59,590
We're working with Travel Nevada's Australia tourism arm to get some promotion for the

129
00:13:59,590 --> 00:14:01,610
mural and for Carson City along with that as well.

130
00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:04,290
And we have prison coming from Mexico.

131
00:14:05,070 --> 00:14:09,550
So great international presence and as much as I love them coming to influence the artists

132
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:14,950
and the people that we have here, them going back with great stories of what we have and

133
00:14:14,950 --> 00:14:16,470
what we offer is even better.

134
00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:21,950
So we have maps, lots of other highlights, 18 artists, 16 walls this year, lots of fun stuff

135
00:14:21,950 --> 00:14:22,430
to look at.

136
00:14:22,430 --> 00:14:27,810
so please take them up and have fun this week. Thank you so much for that.

137
00:14:30,210 --> 00:14:31,110
I think one of the most

138
00:14:31,110 --> 00:14:36,790
interesting parts last night I had the pleasure of meeting a few of the artists that were working

139
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:43,910
on the walls is that they can tell whose work is what when they pass by them they know who the artist

140
00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:50,150
is from their style or for the way they paint and so I thought wow kind of like your signature,

141
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:56,770
your fingerprint, but that they actually are amazed at each other's work, and how

142
00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:59,950
supportive they were of each other. I thought that...

143
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,580
That was pretty fantastic, and I look forward to my tour Friday to see all the new murals. I think it's a great undertaking that CTA has worked on in the Brewery Art Center. You guys have really done a good job getting great artists to come and beautify Carson City, right? That's really phenomenal. So thank you so very much. Please let the artist know how much we appreciate their work.

144
00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:41,550
There we go. They want to get it done. I can't wait to see them all. Do I have any other?

145
00:15:42,810 --> 00:15:51,910
Okay. Thank you all so much. Then we will move on to the agenda. We're on item six,

146
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:57,070
which is the approval of our minutes. Do any member have any corrections or changes?

147
00:15:57,810 --> 00:16:00,410
No. Supervisor Geomi, a motion.

148
00:16:00,730 --> 00:16:02,750
Moved to approve Carson City Board of Supervisors,

149
00:16:02,890 --> 00:16:06,650
meeting minutes from the 20th of August, 2026 is presented.

150
00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:08,810
Second.

151
00:16:09,210 --> 00:16:10,970
Have a motion in the second for approval.

152
00:16:11,190 --> 00:16:12,810
All those in favor, please say aye.

153
00:16:13,150 --> 00:16:13,430
Aye.

154
00:16:13,810 --> 00:16:14,930
Any opposed say no.

155
00:16:15,390 --> 00:16:17,470
Let the record reflect it was unanimous.

156
00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:18,390
Thank you.

157
00:16:18,770 --> 00:16:20,410
Well, if you'll join me on the floor,

158
00:16:20,590 --> 00:16:23,390
we will do our presentations for this morning.

159
00:16:23,390 --> 00:16:28,710
And we're going to start off with our length of service,

160
00:16:30,770 --> 00:16:31,630
we

161
00:16:42,220 --> 00:16:46,260
got this one, that's

162
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:49,840
it,

163
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:50,520
one.

164
00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:51,480
Okay.

165
00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:56,420
All right.

166
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,480
Does anybody know who it is besides the person?

167
00:17:01,060 --> 00:17:01,660
Yeah.

168
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:05,120
I was going to say right, her own department's here, so it should work, right?

169
00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:09,480
How about Rachel Freshman, our epidemiology and PhD?

170
00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:17,620
I'm really having a hard time thinking this has been five years.

171
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:24,980
I'm like wow really thank you so much for all that you do for us keeping us safe.

172
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,760
That's really what it's all about.

173
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,260
Good morning.

174
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:28,840
Thank you mayor.

175
00:17:29,940 --> 00:17:32,300
Rachel's actually been with the city for longer than five years.

176
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,540
She started with us during the pandemic as a contractor doing disease investigations and

177
00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:42,240
five years ago she got her first Carson City job as our epidemiologist and was

178
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,380
recently promoted to our FEMPHP manager position. So very excited to have her

179
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:49,860
there. She's an excellent addition to our management team, but I just had a

180
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:53,260
few words that I wanted to say about Rachel and because I get nervous I wrote

181
00:17:53,260 --> 00:17:58,200
them out. Rachel's so much more than the job title that she holds, surely there

182
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,700
are not enough positive adjectives to describe Rachel. She's smart, reflective,

183
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,900
respective, respectful, genuine, encouraging and considerate.

184
00:18:06,580 --> 00:18:10,380
Everything that makes Carson City employees outstanding is found in Rachel.

185
00:18:11,140 --> 00:18:12,600
She enjoys serving this community.

186
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
She builds teams and empowers her development.

187
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,660
She's thoughtful in her approach and does her work through the lens of improving the quality of life for all residents and visitors.

188
00:18:21,540 --> 00:18:23,480
She challenges herself and supports others.

189
00:18:23,980 --> 00:18:28,000
She's also one of the staff enrolled in the inaugural cohort of the Emerging Leaders Program.

190
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,660
Rachel is an incredible member of our Carson City team and the CCHHS team. We're excited

191
00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:39,340
that she's been here for five years. We look forward to many more, many more, and we are

192
00:18:39,340 --> 00:18:41,300
excited to have her part of our future as well.

193
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,600
Yeah, it's the spot where I usually say,

194
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,100
is that 20 more in your...

195
00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:58,520
Oh, see, now we're getting somewhere today. Yeah, I like just do that, right?

196
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:07,580
So do you have some other friends or family members and other staff to come in and share in the joy of their

197
00:19:11,930 --> 00:19:13,610
big smiles and

198
00:19:22,510 --> 00:19:27,150
I heard that snap several times so she's open for one good picture out of that right.

199
00:19:27,630 --> 00:19:31,490
Again, congratulations and thank you for all you do our

200
00:19:33,790 --> 00:19:40,350
next one's a pretty special one to and I think maybe a few people in the room might be here for this one.

201
00:19:40,350 --> 00:19:43,450
The color of the shirts is like a giveaway, right?

202
00:19:43,830 --> 00:19:45,330
You know, I see a green here.

203
00:19:46,170 --> 00:19:47,690
But surge, come on up.

204
00:19:51,950 --> 00:19:54,670
And really, this is on behalf of all of us.

205
00:19:54,810 --> 00:19:56,850
I want to be perfectly clear.

206
00:19:57,030 --> 00:19:59,250
I get the honor of presenting.

207
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:29,680
We're reading it, but you have certainly the full board. Yeah, that's a good way to say it. You have a good fan club. So this is a proclamation for search, whereas search Duarte has dedicated his time, talent and passion to playing a vital role in equipping residents with essential skills in disaster readiness, emergency response, and community support through the community emergency response team.

208
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:35,160
and fondly known, let's just call it CERT because it's easier to say and get that out.

209
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,500
Whereas through his outstanding leadership and dedication, CERT has built a capable

210
00:20:41,970 --> 00:20:48,080
and empowered volunteer force ready to assist during emergencies, disasters, and community

211
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:48,700
events.

212
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:55,760
That's clear when you look in the room to see all these volunteers that come to support

213
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,940
him this time, right?

214
00:20:56,940 --> 00:20:59,320
but I know you've been there for all of them.

215
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,220
Whereas, search joined the Carson City Cert in April of 2022,

216
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:09,240
it became the program manager in early 2023.

217
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,860
He has been a constant steadfast volunteer during this time,

218
00:21:13,980 --> 00:21:17,440
while then contracting for program management.

219
00:21:17,940 --> 00:21:20,740
Whereas, his work as a Cert Program Manager

220
00:21:20,740 --> 00:21:24,420
demonstrates exceptional commitment to the community

221
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:30,440
by developing training programs, coordinating exercises, and promoting the culture of preparedness

222
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,640
across the person's city and beyond. Whereas, through his vision and professionalism, search,

223
00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:43,240
search. Yeah, search and rescue. You might do a little that. None of that. Never. You're done.

224
00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:55,040
Okay, a little bit more. He went. But search is strength and collaboration between volunteers,

225
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,900
first responders and emergency management personnel, ensuring a unified and effective

226
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:03,580
response during times of need.

227
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:10,520
And whereas his contributions directly enhance public safety, increase community resilience

228
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:16,300
and inspire residents to actively engage in protecting their neighborhoods and assisting

229
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:16,760
others.

230
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:24,620
Whereas Carson City is proud to recognize individuals like Slurge, who show exemplary service leadership

231
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:30,940
and dedication to cert and his commitment to public safety continues to make a lasting

232
00:22:30,940 --> 00:22:37,320
and meaningful impact on our community. And then it's the fun things, but now therefore

233
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,740
I, Laurie Bagwell, Mayor of Carson City on behalf of the Board of Supervisors and a grateful

234
00:22:42,740 --> 00:22:50,760
community. Do hereby proclaim September 17, 2026 as surged to work day-day. How do you like

235
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:59,800
that in Carson City, right? You get to share that honor with the Constitution, right? So you're

236
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:06,980
going to remember this for a very long time. It's a pretty good combination to do that, but I just

237
00:23:06,980 --> 00:23:15,720
wanted to say a few other words about Surge. And one of them is I'm just so proud of the work your

238
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:22,260
Their whole team did helping us with the flags, the brand new ones on the north and south

239
00:23:22,260 --> 00:23:24,620
end of town, for the 4th of July.

240
00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:31,740
We couldn't have gotten this done without the work of again volunteers, maybe having to

241
00:23:31,740 --> 00:23:39,820
practice a little bit with a large flag, but what a, again, tribute for a lifetime, right?

242
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,140
You look at that and say, we'll have this for a very long time, so I also want to just

243
00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:50,280
take the moment to thank all the cert members who did that and then the flag work you do on

244
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:58,020
actual flag day. We do it at the fire department where we honor our flag and properly dispose of it

245
00:23:58,020 --> 00:24:06,000
by burning ones. So I just, there's a lot to this man, you know, but he began his federal law enforcement

246
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,200
career as a special agent with the Department of Commerce Office of Export Enforcement

247
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,580
investigating illegal transfers of control.

248
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,500
I know you're thinking I'm going to say something else when you say the word controlled, right?

249
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:27,040
But it's nuclear and computer technology to prescribed countries.

250
00:24:27,580 --> 00:24:35,120
He transferred to U.S. Customs Service, which later was assimilated into the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations,

251
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:39,620
and conducted or managed international investigations into terrorism,

252
00:24:40,220 --> 00:24:45,840
illegal weapons, and technology transfers, cyber crimes, money laundering,

253
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,380
narcotics trafficking, we did have to get that in somewhere, and other international crimes.

254
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Mr. Duarte retired in 2007 as the deputy special agent in charge.

255
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:09,560
After retiring from the federal government, Mr. Joarty joined Booz Allen Hamilton as a consultant

256
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:15,300
for U.S. government law enforcement, defense and intelligence clients. After consulting

257
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:23,560
for eight years, he formed Surge Forward Consulting, providing policy, operational and technical

258
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,160
matter expertise to government and commercial clients.

259
00:25:27,780 --> 00:25:33,920
He joined the cert team in April of 22 and became the program manager in 23.

260
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:41,620
He received a master's degree in public administration from the National University in 2003.

261
00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:48,360
He's a graduate of the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar in Quantico,

262
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:53,060
Co-Virginia and the Federal Executive Institute in Charlotte, Virginia.

263
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,980
He's a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and Mr. Dewarney.

264
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:05,480
Yeah, we knew that was coming. Library of Congress for a service and commitment to the defense of our nation.

265
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,280
Pretty fantastic, huh?

266
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,920
I just don't even know what to say.

267
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:15,220
that's a big hug of thank you and gratitude for this community, true,

268
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,160
for what John, all right,

269
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,880
we're close. It's a trick. We have to hide things, you know, to hide.

270
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:35,540
Can't say enough about Serge, John Beckett, all of Carson City Emergency Manager, friend, partner,

271
00:26:35,940 --> 00:26:40,320
but the relationships he's built in our community, and you can tell by the representation here in

272
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,380
in the room, the team, but like every good relationship,

273
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,920
it's not just Serge, his wife Wendy, please come up.

274
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:48,860
She's been the support.

275
00:26:57,250 --> 00:26:59,730
She's been the support to this wonderful gentleman

276
00:26:59,730 --> 00:27:02,330
as a wonderful wife, spouse, supporter,

277
00:27:02,570 --> 00:27:04,790
and former federal agent herself.

278
00:27:05,230 --> 00:27:08,450
So leading behind the scenes to help us have

279
00:27:08,450 --> 00:27:10,010
what we've had the last several years.

280
00:27:10,250 --> 00:27:11,750
So thank you, Wendy, for that.

281
00:27:12,350 --> 00:27:14,390
Now on to some stuff for Serge.

282
00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:16,870
Hopefully we can make him a little red.

283
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:24,470
So, first search Duarte, a leader, a mentor, and a friend, thank you for your re-invigoration

284
00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:28,510
of our 13 and building Carson City Cert.

285
00:27:29,030 --> 00:27:30,190
So, thank you very much.

286
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,640
And this comes from our Sheriff's Department.

287
00:27:39,820 --> 00:27:45,800
Mr. Riccolo does a great job of taking some ammo cans and allowing us to turn those into

288
00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:50,160
your response kit to help you be more prepared.

289
00:27:50,160 --> 00:28:00,100
So we took the Liberty hopefully it's okay to put your Marine Corps logo on there side-by-side with the cert logo for Carson City as your name on the top.

290
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:07,880
Our American flag as well as a little start to the Constitution.

291
00:28:08,260 --> 00:28:15,800
So want you to put that in your side-by-side that's been so represented with the cert team and hopefully you'll be prepared on your bad day.

292
00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:37,050
So much. And then what yeah, I was going to say why don't you all come up and anyone that wants to to share in this celebration with surge, it will be a great picture and be

293
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:40,020
real.

294
00:28:40,020 --> 00:28:40,940
It

295
00:28:44,020 --> 00:28:49,780
probably could be the whole room. I'm kind of guessing that any so again anyone that wants to share in it

296
00:28:49,780 --> 00:28:54,000
We got lots of room that you could come and just share this moment

297
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:02,300
Come come come. Yeah, the little ballad

298
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,340
Smarty pants

299
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,880
There you go

300
00:30:46,620 --> 00:30:51,940
Well, they're piling out. I'll just make a comment. There are members of that certain team who

301
00:30:51,940 --> 00:30:58,100
have been on the search team since it started and with you, right?

302
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,740
Yeah, and it's impressive that they've stayed that long and endured throw the ups and

303
00:31:03,740 --> 00:31:03,920
downs.

304
00:31:04,260 --> 00:31:06,460
So it's an impressive group of volunteers.

305
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:07,800
Absolutely.

306
00:31:10,420 --> 00:31:10,840
Okay.

307
00:31:11,780 --> 00:31:12,580
All right.

308
00:31:12,860 --> 00:31:16,700
We're now going to move through, we're on the consent agenda.

309
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,100
No one has requested an item, so Supervisor Geomi, a motion.

310
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:33,020
I move to approve the consent agenda consisting of item 8A, 9A, 10A, 11A, 12A, 13A, and 14A all as presented.

311
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,700
I have a motion in a second for approval.

312
00:31:37,180 --> 00:31:39,200
All those in favor, please say aye.

313
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:39,680
Aye.

314
00:31:39,860 --> 00:31:41,500
Any opposed say no.

315
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,880
Let the record reflect it was unanimous.

316
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,260
Thank you so much.

317
00:31:45,260 --> 00:32:08,660
Okay. We're now going to move to agenda item 16A. This is for discussion and possible action to appoint a member to the Carson City culture and tourism authority, aptly called CTA, in case no one knew that one was to represent the hotel motel industry and I will do my disclosure.

318
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:18,080
NRS 281A 420 requires me to disclose a conflict of interest and abstain from voting when I have a disqualifying conflict.

319
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:29,940
One of the candidates for appointment to the CTA is Samuel Muzingo and his resume indicates that he is an active contributing member of the Carson City Parks and Recreation Foundation.

320
00:32:30,540 --> 00:32:36,140
I am currently on the board for the foundation and serve in an unpaid volunteer role as treasurer.

321
00:32:36,140 --> 00:32:43,220
I am not acquainted with Mr. Mozingo and in any event I do not have a commitment in my private

322
00:32:43,220 --> 00:32:50,400
capacity to him as my fiduciary duty is owed to the foundation and not to individual members

323
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:57,160
of the foundation. I make this disclosure for full transparency but I believe that my independence

324
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:04,160
of judgment is not materially affected in this circumstance and I will be voting on the matter.

325
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,300
okay are we there he is right there Sam come on up

326
00:33:14,150 --> 00:33:16,670
okay let's go one second

327
00:33:16,670 --> 00:33:20,290
and we will get Ben good

328
00:33:24,700 --> 00:33:27,920
morning so you have been through an appointment process

329
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:33,120
before with open space so I'm gonna guess I don't have to tell you how this is

330
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:33,700
going to work.

331
00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:45,240
All right, so why don't you tell me what you think the top three issues that will be

332
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:51,360
facing the tourism, just in general, over the next three to five years?

333
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:55,520
I think, well, first and foremost, that's a great question.

334
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,980
I just want to make a quick comment for that disclosure.

335
00:33:58,980 --> 00:34:04,080
on my resume, I mentioned that I was a member of the Foundation of Parks and Recreation.

336
00:34:04,820 --> 00:34:12,080
I was a member in 2024 to 2025, and then my membership laps, I never renewed the membership.

337
00:34:12,380 --> 00:34:13,760
So my apologies on that.

338
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:19,000
I would never want to lie about anything regarding that information.

339
00:34:20,540 --> 00:34:28,540
Regarding your question, Mayor, I think the three biggest, you know, obstacles that

340
00:34:28,540 --> 00:34:33,260
We'll probably deal with in Carson City as first is attracting people to this area.

341
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:41,220
I'll refer back to my time in Open Space a few different times in our conversation here,

342
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:47,460
but what I've learned about Carson City is you have to dig a little bit to see what

343
00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:52,460
is really here and what this city really offers.

344
00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:58,060
Everyone I talked to doesn't know about the trails, but I've been on Open Space for four

345
00:34:58,060 --> 00:34:59,960
years, and I can tell you that we have world-renowned...

346
00:35:00,940 --> 00:35:28,880
So, it's just driving initial traffic to our area. When I tell people that you can hike from the steps of the capital all the way to Canada or all the way down to Mexico, their mind is blown. And I think that's just one of the beautiful things about our town and our city. For the other two, that's a good question. I mean, I would really have to think about it a little bit deeper. I know just driving traffic is the biggest and most important.

347
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:39,440
And then I would say just finding ways to enable opportunities for all walks of life for all different types of people.

348
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:54,980
Back in open space again, Lindsey and Greg, they've done a great job, you know, making trails and accessible for all types of different people, wheelchairs, disabilities, whether you're walking or running or biking.

349
00:35:54,980 --> 00:36:01,340
And I think these are, you know, great opportunities that we can just keep digging a little bit deeper within.

350
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,960
And I don't know if I have a third one off the top.

351
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:06,380
That's where I'm currently at.

352
00:36:07,660 --> 00:36:09,140
Thank you so very much.

353
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,060
Supervisor shooting.

354
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,720
I know just so that nobody can steal her question.

355
00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:20,820
I appreciate that. Thank you.

356
00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:27,160
I have all these questions just for that reason, so now I get to choose.

357
00:36:27,980 --> 00:36:32,260
Well, save some for me in case you steal mine. I'll steal yours.

358
00:36:34,430 --> 00:36:40,830
All right. So you spoke a little bit to areas that we could do better.

359
00:36:41,150 --> 00:36:47,410
So please share an example of where you feel the city is excelling in promoting tourism.

360
00:36:47,410 --> 00:36:51,410
And what is it that you believe makes it so successful?

361
00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:57,290
Well, I think like the best example that I can find is back

362
00:36:57,290 --> 00:37:00,410
during the holiday season of this last year, visit Carson City.

363
00:37:00,590 --> 00:37:03,890
I think they partnered with several different groups within the city

364
00:37:03,890 --> 00:37:07,830
and put out that really cool video showcasing.

365
00:37:08,010 --> 00:37:09,310
I do all know what I'm talking about.

366
00:37:09,810 --> 00:37:14,550
Yeah, showcasing the city and just the railroad museum and prison hill.

367
00:37:14,550 --> 00:37:21,150
I mean, it was just so cool to share and see that and it got me excited, it got my wife

368
00:37:21,150 --> 00:37:25,810
excited, you know, I share with my parents that I don't live in town here and it's things

369
00:37:25,810 --> 00:37:31,310
like that, that when you, when you see a, you know, a group like Visit Crossed City and

370
00:37:31,310 --> 00:37:36,130
they partner with everyone that's a part of the government, everyone that's a key player

371
00:37:36,130 --> 00:37:41,070
here in the city, you know, muscle powered. People don't know about muscle powered, right?

372
00:37:41,630 --> 00:37:50,010
It's all these things that make the city great and when you can get it together and then you can showcase it and share it with the world really.

373
00:37:50,410 --> 00:37:52,190
That's what makes the city great.

374
00:37:52,530 --> 00:38:04,450
I mean, that's why I'm applying to this, you know, position is because I want to continue to be a part of that and help grow tourism, help grow, you know, the city in the right direction.

375
00:38:04,450 --> 00:38:08,170
So, um, do that answer your question.

376
00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:09,350
You did.

377
00:38:09,570 --> 00:38:09,950
Thank you.

378
00:38:10,110 --> 00:38:10,270
Great.

379
00:38:11,210 --> 00:38:11,770
Okay.

380
00:38:12,470 --> 00:38:13,890
Uh, Mr. Horton.

381
00:38:14,650 --> 00:38:15,390
Good morning.

382
00:38:15,690 --> 00:38:15,970
Morning.

383
00:38:16,770 --> 00:38:20,850
In your own words, can you explain what's the identity of our town?

384
00:38:21,710 --> 00:38:21,870
Yeah.

385
00:38:22,270 --> 00:38:23,510
Yeah, it's a great question.

386
00:38:23,610 --> 00:38:24,030
Thank you.

387
00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:26,310
I think our town is.

388
00:38:26,930 --> 00:38:28,870
Is a very proud town.

389
00:38:29,130 --> 00:38:33,890
I think we have a lot of residents that have strong opinions that care deeply about what.

390
00:38:33,890 --> 00:38:42,950
You all do about the direction of the government and I think that's something that separates our town from a lot of towns.

391
00:38:43,310 --> 00:38:52,430
We have people that care deeply from all different types of ages and they're going to let you hear about it.

392
00:38:52,750 --> 00:38:57,410
And I think that's what makes our city great is that we listen to those opinions.

393
00:38:57,410 --> 00:39:04,230
we listen to those differing voices and you all make action based off of that and that makes

394
00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:06,750
a functioning city and that's what makes our city great.

395
00:39:09,390 --> 00:39:11,190
That's how I feel about, you know,

396
00:39:11,270 --> 00:39:18,530
I think our identity as a whole is we really take the idea of what local means and we put it into

397
00:39:19,150 --> 00:39:25,250
we take those words and we put it into action. You look at our farmers market every Saturday,

398
00:39:25,250 --> 00:39:29,350
You know, in the summer, that's our community in a nutshell, right?

399
00:39:29,610 --> 00:39:34,830
I mean, it's people that get out early in the morning, that want to spend money into Carson City,

400
00:39:34,870 --> 00:39:40,050
that want to be a part of the community, and they could easily go to Reno or Tahoe,

401
00:39:40,190 --> 00:39:41,990
but they have it right here just in our backyard.

402
00:39:42,390 --> 00:39:50,310
And I think just extracting that and just putting the foot on the gas as much as we can to do that,

403
00:39:50,310 --> 00:39:57,050
But my partnering with our local groups is really what our city is all about.

404
00:39:57,530 --> 00:39:58,190
Thank you.

405
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:29,760
Supervisor Wade. Thank you. Morning, Sam. Morning, sir. What's the next piece of the puzzle? Is it an event or an attraction that makes Carson City a true multi-day destination? That's a great question. Well, I'm getting ready, you know, at the hotel for Nevada Day. And this will be my first Nevada Day working here in Carson City. Thank you. That's what everyone stole me. And we're excited.

406
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:42,280
but I think we are, you know, an event or two away, you know, that what can we do as a city that brings people here and not just driving through.

407
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:54,520
I believe that's a piece of the puzzle and I believe, again, it's just everyone I tell about Carson City. Do you like living in Carson City? I love living in Carson City.

408
00:40:54,520 --> 00:41:06,340
And the reason why is because once you just flip that stone upside down and you see what actually is being offered, there's plenty to be offered.

409
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:18,140
You just have to look a little deeper. And I don't know if that's necessarily social media blitzes or partnering deeper or just finding ways to get the word out.

410
00:41:18,140 --> 00:41:22,680
but I know that's a huge part of what we're trying to do and what visit Carson's trying to do

411
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,000
and all the work that you folks have been doing and offering, you know, for the city. So

412
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,320
I think it's a multifaceted problem. I think there are a few pieces to the puzzle,

413
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,940
but they're all attainable and they're all within reach. You're welcome.

414
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,800
I say the best for last. So if I was to cheer me.

415
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,880
Yeah, that was good, that's an inside joke, so it's okay.

416
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,600
Sam, thanks for applying first off.

417
00:41:49,980 --> 00:41:52,040
A couple of questions, one real short one.

418
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,660
Have you attended any CTA meetings?

419
00:41:55,380 --> 00:41:56,000
I haven't.

420
00:41:56,340 --> 00:41:58,680
And so the reason behind that, just to clarify,

421
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,120
the last ten years, I was working up at the lake,

422
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,160
and then down in Reno.

423
00:42:03,820 --> 00:42:05,880
And I recently got the job here at the federal.

424
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,540
You know, my wife and I, we have a ten month daughter.

425
00:42:09,540 --> 00:42:10,640
Ten month-year-old daughter.

426
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:15,620
So I figured let me try and start working here and being a figure contributor to the area.

427
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:21,840
And I was on OSAC, you know, for four years and I always had an initial goal to get on the

428
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:28,460
tourism board. I just never I always saw the hotel motel, you know, a position available. I just

429
00:42:28,460 --> 00:42:33,720
never thought I was qualified because I was working in a different area. So I had never attended a

430
00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:41,060
meeting but I do and I have met with Stu several times and everyone in his office and I think

431
00:42:41,060 --> 00:42:45,340
they're great partners and just the way that they operate and the way that they communicate

432
00:42:45,340 --> 00:42:52,920
to myself as a leader at the hotel is really fantastic and I'd love to be a part of overseeing

433
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:59,940
that and a part to help see that component of tourism just continue to grow in the area.

434
00:42:59,940 --> 00:42:59,980
Yeah.

435
00:43:00,460 --> 00:43:00,660
Okay.

436
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:10,180
Then my real question is, CTA is often asked to sponsor a new event or a new event.

437
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:17,820
I'm looking to see what your thought process is on how you will evaluate whether that

438
00:43:17,820 --> 00:43:23,600
sponsorship is a value add and is worth it to the CTA to do.

439
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,900
Definitely, I mean, first and foremost, let's look at what the budget has to offer.

440
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:35,700
We need to adhere to that and make sure we're making the correct fiduciary decisions based

441
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:36,440
off of the budget.

442
00:43:36,660 --> 00:43:42,260
But secondly, I think we need to look holistically and take a setback, a 30,000 foot level.

443
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:44,260
Is this something that would benefit the city?

444
00:43:44,740 --> 00:43:47,620
Is this a risk that we're taking, that we've never taken before?

445
00:43:47,620 --> 00:43:54,340
or have we spoken to the different stakeholders, you know, is that in the realm of a stakeholder

446
00:43:54,340 --> 00:44:02,780
survey or having a conversation, you know, and one of the evenings prior to making a decision

447
00:44:02,780 --> 00:44:06,020
that has a large amount of money attached to it.

448
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,680
I think we need to speak with the community, they're the ones that drive the attendance,

449
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:15,460
they're the ones that drive what we're trying to offer here, and then base off of any information

450
00:44:15,460 --> 00:44:18,860
that we gather, we make a decision together as the authority.

451
00:44:19,300 --> 00:44:20,380
Okay, thank you. You're welcome.

452
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:28,920
Okay, and then now is your time to fill in any gaps or anything you think would be beneficial

453
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:36,520
for us to help us make our decision? Sure. You know, I joined the Open Space Committee

454
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:41,780
four years ago and you all, you know, appointed me and I'm grateful for that opportunity.

455
00:44:41,780 --> 00:44:43,080
So thank you very much.

456
00:44:44,260 --> 00:44:46,640
I really enjoyed being on that board.

457
00:44:46,980 --> 00:44:48,980
And when I applied to this board, I got a call.

458
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,040
I believe from Stephanie and she said,

459
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:53,560
Hey, if you want to apply to this new position,

460
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,200
you have to resign effective today, you know,

461
00:44:56,340 --> 00:44:58,620
to from OSAC and.

462
00:44:58,620 --> 00:44:59,280
Um,

463
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:28,500
I always like a bittersweet moment for me because I really enjoy my time there. And I like being a member of this community, and I like being able to say that, you know, I can serve this city, and I'm proud of that. And if you all think I'm a good fit for this, this, the, the CTA, that would be fantastic. And I'd love to continue to serve for the city. But obviously, I understand, as well, if there are other great candidates, by all means, make the best decision.

464
00:45:28,500 --> 00:45:33,200
for the city and for the town and just keep me in mind in the future.

465
00:45:34,420 --> 00:45:42,820
I intend on raising our family here for many, many years and we live just right down the road and we love the city and we've learned to love it.

466
00:45:43,620 --> 00:45:50,840
It took a little while and I'll be honest. But now that we're here, we don't see ourselves anywhere else.

467
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:57,340
And I just want to continue to be a part of that just as a community member and as a leader within our area.

468
00:45:57,340 --> 00:46:01,620
Yeah, so appreciate the time and thank you all for what you do.

469
00:46:01,860 --> 00:46:07,140
You have a very hard job and you hear a lot of good and bad from everybody.

470
00:46:07,540 --> 00:46:12,740
So I just appreciate your candor and respect for our city and thank you very much.

471
00:46:13,260 --> 00:46:20,040
Thank you so much again for applying and you're welcome to stay and we'll do the other interview

472
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,180
and then we'll make our decision.

473
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:23,520
But thank you so much.

474
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:23,800
Great.

475
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,220
Let me borrow your disc.

476
00:46:34,730 --> 00:46:35,530
The other guy.

477
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,280
Good morning. I'll be right with you.

478
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,720
Supervisor White, do you have a disclosure before we complete this task?

479
00:46:59,860 --> 00:47:05,260
It's okay mine was at 9 o'clock last night or something. I don't know what time but it will go once again

480
00:47:05,260 --> 00:47:07,100
I apologize for the

481
00:47:07,780 --> 00:47:09,740
Now function on my behalf

482
00:47:10,780 --> 00:47:14,260
I'm gonna have to add live this so Dan you keep me straight

483
00:47:20,060 --> 00:47:21,100
Thank you

484
00:47:21,100 --> 00:47:23,940
those of conflict of interest and abstain from voting

485
00:47:24,270 --> 00:47:26,740
when I have a disqualifying conflict.

486
00:47:27,540 --> 00:47:31,620
One of the candidates for, as president

487
00:47:31,620 --> 00:47:34,920
of the Nevada State Preservation Society,

488
00:47:36,650 --> 00:47:41,220
the society does business with Visit Carson City.

489
00:47:46,770 --> 00:47:53,160
I do have a private capacity, a fiduciary responsibility

490
00:47:53,160 --> 00:48:07,700
To the Nevada State Prison Preservation Society, I make this disclosure for full transparency but I believe that my independence judgment is not materially affected in this circumstance and will be voting on this matter.

491
00:48:09,750 --> 00:48:20,970
Thank you so much. So his disclosure was just to let us know that the Preservation Society has a contract with Visit Carson City, but not any capacity of either candidate.

492
00:48:20,970 --> 00:48:36,090
So you're on you're on equal footing. Thank you supervisor why to appreciate that welcome sorry welcome and we want to start off with thanking you for applying for this position.

493
00:48:36,690 --> 00:48:42,290
And just for the record he had late material for a Mr. Baggett.

494
00:48:42,290 --> 00:48:51,650
Yes. So I'm just putting on the record. Yeah. So we're just putting on the record that we had late material for that.

495
00:48:52,450 --> 00:49:02,770
So I don't think you've ever applied for any of the positions before. Okay. And been through this. So I will give you just a little bit of the process.

496
00:49:02,770 --> 00:49:13,710
us. We will ask you questions to help us decide which candidate to select today. And after

497
00:49:13,710 --> 00:49:18,770
we ask you the questions, you'll have an opportunity to fill in any gaps or anything that

498
00:49:19,170 --> 00:49:24,530
you think was uncovered in your resume or by the questions that we ask. So you get the

499
00:49:24,530 --> 00:49:33,290
like closing argument is to let us know your whys or things of that nature and then since

500
00:49:33,290 --> 00:49:39,610
you're the last candidate being interviewed upon the completion of yours, this board will

501
00:49:39,610 --> 00:49:46,050
then make a decision on who to appoint. So again, I just want to start off with thank you

502
00:49:46,050 --> 00:49:56,630
very much. Your question from me is what do you see as the issues facing tourism over

503
00:49:56,630 --> 00:49:59,330
the next three to five years, and if you can give me.

504
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,520
Two or three issues.

505
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,200
Political, a little bit of political stuff. Going on.

506
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:19,780
People's ability to travel and to have the discretionary budget to do that.

507
00:50:28,460 --> 00:50:37,940
That's what comes to top of mine. That's what that question's all about. Okay. Thank you. Supervisor Shooting. Thank you so much for applying.

508
00:50:38,660 --> 00:50:44,320
Please share an example of where you feel the city is excelling in promoting tourism.

509
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,340
And what is it that you believe makes it so successful?

510
00:50:49,180 --> 00:51:02,890
So I have, we worked a lot with Visit Carson and they bring some good different shows

511
00:51:02,890 --> 00:51:08,630
Those are, I know we've got a, that's the

512
00:51:10,930 --> 00:51:12,170
Reno Tahoe territory.

513
00:51:12,450 --> 00:51:14,830
They're bringing in a FAM group from Mexico this month.

514
00:51:14,830 --> 00:51:19,150
They work helping host that group, actually sorry in November.

515
00:51:20,770 --> 00:51:25,210
I think there's some good, you know, the day that it seems really cool.

516
00:51:27,390 --> 00:51:33,930
There was the bike race that was here back during the summer that we hosted some of the

517
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:38,310
Yeah, the people who ran the race, they came to stay in our hotel.

518
00:51:39,110 --> 00:51:43,410
So yeah, there's some great, there's good programs around, good, good synergy.

519
00:51:44,110 --> 00:51:56,300
So being kind of a, not a, a local guy, it's been fun to kind of get to see how everything works here.

520
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,660
So thank you.

521
00:51:58,820 --> 00:51:58,940
Yeah.

522
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:00,600
Supervisor Horton.

523
00:52:01,540 --> 00:52:01,760
Morning.

524
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:02,900
Hi.

525
00:52:02,900 --> 00:52:02,960
Okay.

526
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:07,420
In your own words, can you explain the identity of our town?

527
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,060
Well, you're the capital city, of course.

528
00:52:14,970 --> 00:52:16,510
There's a lot of great history here.

529
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,880
I think the capital is your big thing.

530
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,920
We've got the legislature coming up next month or next year.

531
00:52:29,860 --> 00:52:31,440
We've already got a lot of people coming in for that.

532
00:52:32,020 --> 00:52:35,020
So that's what I think it would be.

533
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:36,420
Thank you.

534
00:52:37,020 --> 00:52:38,620
Oops, sorry.

535
00:52:38,620 --> 00:52:40,060
Thank you.

536
00:52:40,820 --> 00:52:41,780
Supervisor White.

537
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:42,600
Thank you.

538
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:43,900
Good morning, Ben.

539
00:52:44,060 --> 00:52:44,200
Hi.

540
00:52:45,340 --> 00:52:47,020
What's the next piece of the puzzle?

541
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:52,020
An event or an attraction that makes Carson City a true destination?

542
00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:55,360
Probably an

543
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:58,860
attraction.

544
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,460
I think the business

545
00:53:04,180 --> 00:53:10,580
of that is setting up that center at the train station that will be kind of fun.

546
00:53:10,580 --> 00:53:11,440
That's cool.

547
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:18,180
And I always do good to have another event, though, that brings people here.

548
00:53:21,270 --> 00:53:21,650
Thank you.

549
00:53:22,010 --> 00:53:22,110
Yeah.

550
00:53:23,230 --> 00:53:24,110
Supervisor Kiyomi?

551
00:53:25,050 --> 00:53:25,630
Thank you.

552
00:53:25,730 --> 00:53:27,410
Thanks, Ben, for applying first off.

553
00:53:28,370 --> 00:53:28,990
Two questions.

554
00:53:29,190 --> 00:53:31,010
One, have you attended a CTA meeting?

555
00:53:31,530 --> 00:53:32,250
I have actually.

556
00:53:32,990 --> 00:53:33,150
Okay.

557
00:53:33,270 --> 00:53:42,450
So when I was last year, when I was just barely first here, we came to a meeting.

558
00:53:42,450 --> 00:53:54,260
Yeah, it was, we had, we had, we were bringing, they were bringing in a group and they had the

559
00:53:54,260 --> 00:54:02,780
Torbus company coming in, the Torbus in January. And we were working with is a Carson RTT

560
00:54:02,780 --> 00:54:07,540
to bring the, we hosted the group when they came through Carson. So yeah, we were here for that.

561
00:54:09,060 --> 00:54:16,760
My next question is, as a board member on the CTA, you'll be asked to evaluate proposals for sponsorship opportunities.

562
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:28,360
I'm curious to know what process you'll go through to help determine whether the ask is worth the spend essentially.

563
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:43,120
That's a good question. Just like any other proposal, I guess I would just evaluate if it's going to be worth

564
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:49,160
the expense.

565
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:58,820
if it's worth, what the benefit is at the end and what we can get from it, so.

566
00:55:03,610 --> 00:55:30,570
Okay. So now, Ben, do you like Ben or Benjamin? So I'm Ben. Okay. My mom calls me Benjamin, but yeah. We know what that means when our parents use our whole name. Yes. We all know what that means. And my middle name is Franklin. Oh, Franklin. So I have a really great name, but I've just really just been. Okay. Well, we learned something. Didn't we? So Ben, now is your time to just let us know the

567
00:55:30,570 --> 00:55:36,910
why you want the position or fill in again any gaps or information that you

568
00:55:36,910 --> 00:55:42,850
think would be of value to help us make our decision. Okay well I um we work

569
00:55:42,850 --> 00:55:47,090
a lot with visit cars and so we know I know Dave, Dave really well, it's

570
00:55:47,090 --> 00:55:57,090
be really well and I think it'd be a great way for me to be more part of the

571
00:55:57,090 --> 00:56:05,890
community and it also be good for me to kind of maybe share my resources. I'm a great team player.

572
00:56:08,540 --> 00:56:17,400
I might have a different perspective being maybe not from here and really like working with

573
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:25,610
everybody and trying to make things succeed. So, well again thank you so very much for applying

574
00:56:25,610 --> 00:56:32,030
and the two of you certainly make our choices difficult,

575
00:56:32,250 --> 00:56:38,030
because you approach things from very different avenues.

576
00:56:38,530 --> 00:56:40,150
But I think you're right, right?

577
00:56:40,430 --> 00:56:43,250
A person that's been here for a while versus someone that's new

578
00:56:43,250 --> 00:56:46,530
and have completely different outlooks or what they see.

579
00:56:46,810 --> 00:56:49,250
So I really want to thank you.

580
00:56:49,250 --> 00:57:00,990
So we'll bring it back up here then and make our decision on what we think's in the best interest of the CTA.

581
00:57:01,950 --> 00:57:05,110
Anybody want to go first?

582
00:57:07,390 --> 00:57:14,730
Stacey serves on the CTA, so he kind of probably knows what might be the best right now.

583
00:57:14,730 --> 00:57:15,310
I'll go first.

584
00:57:15,610 --> 00:57:22,910
As you said, when people apply like this, you've had a hard time in this category, keeping

585
00:57:22,910 --> 00:57:31,570
someone because the industry is, at least from my perspective, kind of transient, so

586
00:57:31,930 --> 00:57:39,570
keeping folks in a role where the ownership group will allow them to participate is, there's

587
00:57:39,570 --> 00:57:44,750
It's always kind of been a challenge for many years in the specific hotel multi-category.

588
00:57:44,990 --> 00:57:51,850
So, I appreciate both of their interests and willingness to serve because we need this

589
00:57:51,850 --> 00:57:55,090
perspective on visit Carson City on the board.

590
00:57:57,220 --> 00:58:04,450
For my money, I think, again, I think either could serve, my vote would be for Sam.

591
00:58:04,450 --> 00:58:11,470
I believe the answer questions well and has good thoughts and good thought process so my vote

592
00:58:11,470 --> 00:58:12,350
would be for Sam.

593
00:58:13,870 --> 00:58:16,350
A supervisor shooting would you like to go next?

594
00:58:17,070 --> 00:58:17,250
Hi.

595
00:58:18,190 --> 00:58:23,530
Thank you both for applying and it's always super difficult when there's just the two candidates.

596
00:58:23,530 --> 00:58:38,610
I agree with Supervisor Geome and the question about the identity of the town that passionate

597
00:58:38,610 --> 00:58:47,550
people, what local means, speaking about the different events, that really does make

598
00:58:47,550 --> 00:58:54,750
our community extra special and so I really appreciated that and then the you

599
00:58:54,750 --> 00:58:58,910
know that event or two away from a multi-day stay and that's really what we're

600
00:58:58,910 --> 00:59:08,660
after so I support Sam's position as well.

601
00:59:12,380 --> 00:59:15,380
Supervisor Horton. Thank you both for

602
00:59:15,380 --> 00:59:18,920
applying. I think you both did a great job and you bring something to the table

603
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:23,300
with different perspectives and I always appreciate people who step up and

604
00:59:23,300 --> 00:59:28,520
volunteer to serve their community. It's what we all should do. At this point I'd

605
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:29,240
have to go with Sam.

606
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:36,580
So we're on the irrelevant side at this particular moment but

607
00:59:36,580 --> 00:59:42,900
you're welcome to comment if you want. Supervisor White. First of all I want to

608
00:59:42,900 --> 00:59:48,560
again apologize for my earlier disruption. I feel like that probably made it a

609
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:54,940
a little harder for Ben, but I really think the standout for me is Sam.

610
00:59:57,310 --> 00:59:59,750
So I just want to indicate

611
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:28,800
I think that I'm going to vote for Sam, but I have no doubt in my mind that Ben can contribute. I think that when I listen to people that say they want to learn or they want to become a part of something bigger, right? That's the first step. I think that Sam was just a couple of steps ahead because he's been here longer.

612
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:35,260
and already had some comments he could make that in fairness, it's a little more difficult

613
01:00:35,260 --> 01:00:44,560
for someone that's, oh right, it's a balancing act, but as Stacey's indicated, this is also

614
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:52,820
one of the roles on the CTA that's the most difficult to fill. So if your property at any time

615
01:00:52,820 --> 01:01:00,740
We'll let you attend meetings so that you can grow and do public comment and contribute.

616
01:01:01,460 --> 01:01:04,320
I just think there's so much you could offer.

617
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:10,720
And please don't let the fact that you're not sitting in the actual seat stop you from

618
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:18,120

628
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:21,860
to the Nevada Department of Public Safety for a 2023 burn grant concerning our mobile

629
01:02:21,860 --> 01:02:28,640
outreach safety team and authorization for the sheriff to sign the documents and execute

630
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,480
if needed. Thank you for the record chair for a long time.

631
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,860
I'm going to start us off. I'm going to get you going.

632
01:02:35,380 --> 01:02:43,140
Okay. And we have quite a few of our team members here today with me as it pertains to this

633
01:02:43,140 --> 01:02:48,780
grant that, well, I should enter to Supervisor Sergeant Marissie. Supervisors

634
01:02:48,780 --> 01:02:54,380
to the overall concept of our mobile outreach team responses as well as our

635
01:02:54,380 --> 01:03:01,640
school resource officer program. And right into details today, Ms. Brittany, we'll

636
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,400
fill you all in. Brittany.

637
01:03:04,020 --> 01:03:07,600
So good morning everyone. My name is Brittany Bowman. I am a licensed clinical social

638
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:12,040
worker on the mobile outreach safety team with the Carson City Sheriff's Office. So

639
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:13,380
So today we're coming to you.

640
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:19,320
We are wanting to apply for the State Crisis Intervention Program grant to kind of help

641
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,620
bolster most as a whole.

642
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,320
Three things that we are asking for.

643
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:30,900
So one is a electronic medical record like program that is called Julyda.

644
01:03:31,660 --> 01:03:39,180
This program allows for us to input any persons and crisis that we're working with that allows

645
01:03:39,180 --> 01:03:45,000
us to put all of the information that we gather when we are meeting with that person in crisis into

646
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:54,780
a secure place. So as it is now we do make comment or not comments but we do make notes in the call

647
01:03:54,780 --> 01:04:00,060
system that we have but we do have to be very cautious of the information that we do put in those

648
01:04:00,060 --> 01:04:08,720
because it is subject to public information. So for example if we are going on a call and this person

649
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:14,780
discloses their diagnosis, their providers, maybe some other sensitive information of

650
01:04:14,780 --> 01:04:18,960
inner workings with their families. We're not going to put that in the call because

651
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:24,460
it is public to or it is subject to public information. But what this program would

652
01:04:24,460 --> 01:04:30,520
do, it would allow us to input all of that information and let's say my partner and I respond

653
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:37,040
to a call on a Friday evening and we meet this person, they give us that information and

654
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:43,060
we send them over or we send them to resources and then our other team goes on a Monday when we are

655
01:04:43,060 --> 01:04:48,480
not here and we have not had a chance to talk they would have the ability to pull up that information

656
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:54,580
and see oh Brittany and Devon have already been out there and this is what they did. So it kind of

657
01:04:54,580 --> 01:04:58,700
in the gates duplicating processes where they could be like,

658
01:04:58,840 --> 01:04:59,820
oh, you've already been referred.

659
01:04:59,820 --> 01:04:59,960
Thank you very much.

660
01:05:08,140 --> 01:05:29,840
So, we do work with all of our behavioral health agencies here in the community. It would allow them, if they would like, to be a part of the program, they would have access to see what we are doing with said person. So, who we have referred them to, if we have been out with them.

661
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:35,160
but it also allows for those agencies as well not to duplicate work so if we have

662
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:39,640
somebody that says going to help in human services they wouldn't be getting the

663
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:45,020
same service at another agency here in town. It also helps streamline with

664
01:05:45,020 --> 01:05:49,100
referrals so we work very closely with the fire department. The fire department

665
01:05:49,100 --> 01:05:53,860
will send us referrals on persons who are who have a primary behavioral health

666
01:05:53,860 --> 01:05:58,080
health concern, but maybe are calling for a medical emergency when it may not be.

667
01:05:59,780 --> 01:06:04,620
It also helps with our community partners to see already set that work that's already

668
01:06:04,620 --> 01:06:11,700
being done. The second thing within the grant that we would be applying for is a third

669
01:06:11,700 --> 01:06:17,740
most vehicle. So we have expanded to a third team. We are asking for an unmarked vehicle.

670
01:06:18,460 --> 01:06:23,480
And the reason we ask for an unmarked vehicle is because it helps de-stigmatize law enforcement

671
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:28,100
and interactions. So there has been times when we've been working with a person in crisis

672
01:06:28,100 --> 01:06:33,500
and we've been able to de-escalate them in their home and then get them to agree to go to treatment,

673
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:38,060
but then they go outside of their home and they see a black and white vehicle and they immediately

674
01:06:38,060 --> 01:06:43,440
think you're lying to me you're going to take me to jail. So having an unmarked vehicle has really

675
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:51,060
helped destigmatize that and helps us get people into treatment quicker. On top of also having an

676
01:06:51,060 --> 01:07:14,540
unmarked vehicle. It also helps us reach different persons in our community, where we have been told before that they don't want us to come over to their home if they're in crisis because it's a black and white vehicle. So having a vehicle that's unmarked is really helpful in terms of us reaching everyone in our community so that they are not, you know, the neighbors aren't looking out and why is there a black and white vehicle outside of your home.

677
01:07:16,780 --> 01:07:24,460
Lastly, for the grant, we would like to ask for a program manager and a program manager

678
01:07:24,460 --> 01:07:28,820
what we're looking for is for somebody to kind of come in with a fresh perspective.

679
01:07:29,380 --> 01:07:35,100
Look at how most is functioning and maybe look and see where our gaps are within the community

680
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,980
and how we can reach more people in our community.

681
01:07:38,980 --> 01:07:45,820
We have had a uptick in suicides in our community and what we would like is a somebody to come

682
01:07:45,820 --> 01:07:50,620
in, you know, maybe we're reaching 70% of our community, but how can we reach that

683
01:07:50,620 --> 01:07:53,620
other 30% to try to help that drop?

684
01:07:58,190 --> 01:08:00,530
Does any member have a question?

685
01:08:01,830 --> 01:08:01,990
A minute.

686
01:08:03,070 --> 01:08:04,090
Supervisor Geomi.

687
01:08:07,430 --> 01:08:08,630
Just a couple of questions.

688
01:08:08,630 --> 01:08:18,870
One on the EMR side, it's kind of stepping into a new world and so I just, I want to understand

689
01:08:18,870 --> 01:08:23,830
the, I mean, I assume you'll have protections in place in terms of, so when you're putting

690
01:08:23,830 --> 01:08:30,870
information into an EMR, you have an obligation to notify the patient because that's what they

691
01:08:30,870 --> 01:08:39,170
you are, how you handle their information, how you can accomplish that in these instances.

692
01:08:39,490 --> 01:08:44,430
So for instance, in the world where I work, you have a HIPAA disclosure form that everyone

693
01:08:44,430 --> 01:08:45,350
signs when they come in.

694
01:08:45,910 --> 01:08:51,070
You go to any doctor's office, any hospital, because you have to explain to them how you

695
01:08:51,070 --> 01:08:54,790
handle their information, how are you going to manage that?

696
01:08:55,290 --> 01:08:59,530
So they've actually been working very closely with the Washoe County most team.

697
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:13,290
They also use this program so the way that it has been preface to me is these people are not our patients. They are not somebody that we are continually providing care for and treatment for.

698
01:09:13,790 --> 01:09:26,730
We are there as a crisis response and so the way that it's been described to me is that we wouldn't need to have any of those forms or notifications to them because it is a one instance hopefully.

699
01:09:27,430 --> 01:09:35,370
that we are just inputting protected information that, like I said earlier, we don't, the public doesn't need to know your diagnosis and your providers and those types of things.

700
01:09:36,050 --> 01:09:40,790
So really, when we're not, our goal is not to maintain like their protected health information.

701
01:09:41,210 --> 01:09:55,830
It's just to have a safe place to put that for continuing treatment and when we are, you know, responding again, or if we are responding again to another, to their home that we have complete information and know what it is that we're walking into.

702
01:09:55,830 --> 01:09:59,870
Okay, I would just yeah, I hope you work with the DA's office. I'm sure you will.

703
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:13,980
Just because I think about, you talk about referrals and that's one of the key components of maintaining a health record is sharing that information and how it's shared. And I just want to make sure that we're not exposing the city.

704
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:28,580
You know, I think that's one thing to share internally between HHS and the fire department because it's the same agency, just a different service provider or provider within the same agency.

705
01:10:28,580 --> 01:10:34,240
but I'm a little concerned if you start sharing it outside like the fish or the advocates

706
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:40,520
or and I don't know if that's the plan but then it feels to me more like a patient

707
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:47,880
provided relationship which I think changes the the HIPAA component so I just would you know make

708
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:56,500
sure you're working with the DA's office on that. You mentioned the unmarked car and that makes

709
01:10:56,500 --> 01:11:02,360
perfect sense to me. But the thought I have is you're here dressed much like a police officer

710
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:10,400
and I'm wondering how you, how does that work? I mean if the car can be triggering or prevent

711
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,680
positive interactions, how do you get around the uniform issue?

712
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:19,940
Honestly, it's just letting them know who we are. So when we go and interact with people,

713
01:11:20,540 --> 01:11:25,000
we'll say, you know, I know I look like a cop but I promise you I'm not. I am a social worker

714
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:30,260
And then I'll point to my partner and he is a part of law enforcement, but we are dressed like this purely for safety.

715
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:34,900
And typically, I know Becca can advocate to this too.

716
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,480
We don't have any issues.

717
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:50,900
Okay, and the last comment is the position, maybe this is for Kenny, are you, is it going to be a city employee or a contract employee or a contract employee?

718
01:11:50,980 --> 01:11:52,440
Okay, that's what I wanted to hear.

719
01:11:53,020 --> 01:11:53,280
I'm good.

720
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:53,940
Thank you.

721
01:11:54,180 --> 01:11:58,880
And if you don't mind, I think that I'd like to add this share for long for the record.

722
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:00,720
This is critical.

723
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:09,060
What we find time and time again is when that crisis goes way out of control, very often

724
01:12:09,060 --> 01:12:11,660
we find that we've never had contact with these people.

725
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:17,280
Identifying those gaps is essential to a good efficient program.

726
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:22,860
We don't want to see these problems reach that level of no return.

727
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:30,360
But we saw that this year, this year, when our suicide rates went very, very high.

728
01:12:31,540 --> 01:12:31,920
Why?

729
01:12:32,540 --> 01:12:38,380
Why are we not reaching certain elements of the population and it's not just us.

730
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:42,880
It's all agencies that respond to crises, such as the 988 program.

731
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:49,700
We have to be, take that step back and look, as she said, from another viewpoint,

732
01:12:50,540 --> 01:12:53,220
why are we missing and who are we missing?

733
01:12:53,980 --> 01:13:00,120
And I hope you don't hear my questions as being critical of the program because there's absolutely,

734
01:13:00,860 --> 01:13:05,200
in my mind, it's unequivocal that this is an amazing program.

735
01:13:05,540 --> 01:13:10,600
And I think it's one of the best things this city has done like in the history of the city.

736
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:22,100
In terms of the benefits, it provides to the people we serve, and putting people guiding people to the right place at the right time.

737
01:13:23,580 --> 01:13:27,960
This most program and the work that you do is unparalleled.

738
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:40,580
I just want to make sure that the city and you are all protected, so I appreciate that.

739
01:13:40,580 --> 01:13:49,320
this one's very difficult for me to really wrap my self around the EMR records. I'm a

740
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:58,500
little bit with Stacey on this is you are creating and I know you just said that Washoe County

741
01:13:58,500 --> 01:14:06,620
that it's that you're not a provider you're just a referral but you're creating a permanent

742
01:14:06,620 --> 01:14:13,300
record and I want to know that is about somebody that maybe like you said they

743
01:14:13,300 --> 01:14:18,760
disclosed diagnosis and things and you're putting that into a medical

744
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:25,980
record. This is a medical record system. Is that correct? I'm just

745
01:14:29,150 --> 01:14:29,470
very

746
01:14:29,470 --> 01:14:36,370
concerned that I want all of you to be safe. I want that second person that's

747
01:14:36,370 --> 01:14:42,590
responding maybe to something to maybe know what they're walking into. Maybe that's super helpful

748
01:14:42,590 --> 01:14:48,910
that you could get in there and say whoa this guy's on such and such a drug or such and such a thing

749
01:14:48,910 --> 01:14:58,270
and maybe there's he's known to have guns or knives or combative. I mean all of that is great. I

750
01:14:58,270 --> 01:14:59,970
I just want to make sure I think I'm...

751
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:26,060
With Stacy, that my concern is who will have access to these records? Because is it anyone on the Sheriff's Department? I think it really fits the same with slot cameras. Everything that we're doing these days is how are we going to do the access and to control it to make sure that it's only being properly used?

752
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:29,980
We're working with IT.

753
01:15:29,980 --> 01:15:33,260
and the DA on this to make sure that it is secure.

754
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,020
So it would not be just anybody within the city

755
01:15:36,020 --> 01:15:37,700
or the sheriff's office would have access.

756
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,320
It is only a select group of people

757
01:15:41,060 --> 01:15:42,720
that would have access to it.

758
01:15:43,220 --> 01:15:45,300
So only members from the most team.

759
01:15:45,580 --> 01:15:46,280
So I would say-

760
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:52,180
If I'm just officer Joe, no most team is going out there.

761
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,300
He's not gonna be able to go check it

762
01:15:54,300 --> 01:15:57,180
to see if there's been most interactions.

763
01:15:57,620 --> 01:15:59,280
He'll get the most interactions

764
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:03,080
out of the call, logs, the standard call logs.

765
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:05,560
That's what I'm trying to get what's changing

766
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:11,120
from what a standard officer that didn't come out, right?

767
01:16:11,580 --> 01:16:15,380
But just a patrolman that gets a call that there's an incident occurring,

768
01:16:16,020 --> 01:16:21,080
they would get a call, the normal standard thing they get today,

769
01:16:21,340 --> 01:16:27,160
which is most is responded to that residence four times in the last year.

770
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:34,920
They might get that, but they will not then get access into this system to see what the

771
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:35,980
call details are.

772
01:16:36,440 --> 01:16:39,060
Only a most team member, or who else?

773
01:16:39,660 --> 01:16:44,780
Most would, most is the one that would have the access to the, you know, per se, the

774
01:16:44,780 --> 01:16:51,020
diagnosis, the medications X, Y, and Z. Yes, a regular deputy responding, because our

775
01:16:51,020 --> 01:16:53,860
dispatch will still, you know, most has been to this home.

776
01:16:53,860 --> 01:16:57,140
So with our Tyler tech system, it'll say, say that we're

777
01:16:57,140 --> 01:17:00,880
still there. This system is completely separate from Tyler Tech and it just

778
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:05,860
allots most to be able to input information for like for continued for

779
01:17:05,860 --> 01:17:11,160
can the continued care. So say if the fire department says that they want to be

780
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:14,900
a part of the system the fire department wouldn't have complete access to our

781
01:17:14,900 --> 01:17:19,700
notes but it would it brings up like a little synopsis. So most responded on this

782
01:17:19,700 --> 01:17:23,900
day and this day and they referred to health and human services let's just say

783
01:17:23,900 --> 01:17:27,980
or another agency, they don't have complete access to our notes.

784
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,340
Basically, this is an enhancement of privacy.

785
01:17:36,140 --> 01:17:40,940
I will tell you this, and I'm assuming, what I'm going to say,

786
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:45,840
the DA's office will push you to do, but you know how to have a hippopolicy,

787
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,800
which very clearly, organization-wide, which very clearly spells out,

788
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:52,960
who can access that, what the penalties are.

789
01:17:52,960 --> 01:18:02,360
are in, and HIPAA violations are no joke. Absent, I mean, individuals can be held personally

790
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:11,460
liable for really high dollar fines. Even within our own organization, we monitor HIPAA,

791
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:17,180
you know, we have, it's called a break the glass component. Most EMRs have a break the

792
01:18:17,180 --> 01:18:24,140
class component, that essentially the minute you access that, a record exists of who

793
01:18:24,140 --> 01:18:30,160
access that, and they have to have a reason for accessing that, and if they don't have

794
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,540
a reason for accessing that, they violated your hippopolicy.

795
01:18:33,820 --> 01:18:41,330
So I'm comfortable with it, and I think we all can be comfortable with it, provided the

796
01:18:41,330 --> 01:18:45,210
D.A.'s office is involved in the development of that hippopolicy.

797
01:18:46,550 --> 01:18:52,550
And the only reason I'm so, and I think the mayor is in the same boat, is because you're

798
01:18:52,550 --> 01:18:55,630
going down an avenue that you have not been down before.

799
01:18:56,010 --> 01:19:01,650
And for those of you who are providers, you guys are essentially licensed clinical social

800
01:19:01,650 --> 01:19:03,670
workers or licensed social workers.

801
01:19:03,790 --> 01:19:06,770
It's not uncommon for you to know this world.

802
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:13,210
I'm just concerned about the deputies who don't understand this world because I know the problems

803
01:19:13,210 --> 01:19:19,750
we had in the fire department when we started going down this path many, many years ago, 25,

804
01:19:20,150 --> 01:19:27,430
30 years ago, where we started to have to follow HIPAA, which came out I believe in the early 90s.

805
01:19:27,510 --> 01:19:35,870
So before that, we were sharing calls, leaving face sheets on, you know, in ambulances and so it's

806
01:19:36,890 --> 01:19:47,130
It's not a world most people exist in and I that's just the biggest thing that there's there's going to have to be some training and I just I want to hear and I think I have that you're.

807
01:19:47,630 --> 01:19:59,970
You understand that and the team understands that you know is it going to be mandatory so let's say he says I don't.

808
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:28,720
I don't want any responsibility for the hippocompliance and I don't want to do it. Are you going to make it mandatory for your every member of the most team or try to eliminate more to. There won't be a choice. There won't be a choice. Well, that's what I want to know. Right. The policy will have will apply to all. No, but I meant that the second member of the team might say, I'm not going to look anything up and I'm not going to do the data entry because that way I can't ever. Accidentally disclose.

809
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:49,760
No, he's subject to it. But if you don't ever look at it, you'll never be in the log. I'm just saying, are we going to make it its mandatory? Yeah, absolutely. So certain Taylor Maris, if you can't be a part of it, then you can't be a part of the team. So it would be a mandatory function to be on the team.

810
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:56,410
And I can give you something to compare to.

811
01:20:56,950 --> 01:21:03,830
When we assign our officers over into the school district, they are privy to information

812
01:21:03,830 --> 01:21:10,710
that no one else is, and they are subject to all the rules and the regulations and the

813
01:21:10,710 --> 01:21:15,810
protection measures that the rest of the department does not have.

814
01:21:17,370 --> 01:21:26,830
What is the, what are the jail providers using for medical records,

815
01:21:29,270 --> 01:21:32,970
and can this, can this work for that as well?

816
01:21:33,370 --> 01:21:38,270
I don't believe I can answer that question for you.

817
01:21:38,270 --> 01:21:39,890
I'll just carry out some of the work that I'm going to do.

818
01:21:41,020 --> 01:21:41,350
Right.

819
01:21:41,710 --> 01:21:52,210
So I also noticed in here, and I'm always concerned that you're going to hire a contract to be able to look at the data.

820
01:21:53,230 --> 01:22:01,870
So that's another individual that will have access to look at summary reports and items, because otherwise you can't do data analysis.

821
01:22:01,870 --> 01:22:07,970
You have to have real data, or you can't do it, so there'll be somebody else looking,

822
01:22:08,210 --> 01:22:10,030
and that's for 18 months.

823
01:22:10,930 --> 01:22:20,210
Is it just a plan to use that person to make sure you're utilizing the system to the

824
01:22:20,210 --> 01:22:26,450
fullest, that you're getting, what's the purpose of the contractor, because it's only 18 months

825
01:22:26,450 --> 01:22:28,830
of the five-year project?

826
01:22:28,830 --> 01:22:44,810
The purpose of the contractor is to come in and we have data and it will take if we are able to get this do a lot of system it would take us time to input and have data, but it would be for this person to come in look at the statistics that we already have.

827
01:22:44,810 --> 01:22:58,710
But then look and see how the most team is operating how we function on our day to day and see maybe areas where we can grow or what we can do different in order to reach more community members that are experiencing crisis.

828
01:22:59,450 --> 01:23:11,670
And so you only see its need for 18 months because it's just somebody to kind of come in briefly see who we are what we do and then give us an idea of how we can expand to reach more members.

829
01:23:11,670 --> 01:23:17,070
So we wouldn't need this person to be, you know, a full-time forever employee.

830
01:23:17,330 --> 01:23:19,110
They would just need to come in for a little while.

831
01:23:19,930 --> 01:23:25,910
No, I really want that on the record because I don't want to grow the FTE counts.

832
01:23:27,090 --> 01:23:34,830
I just don't, I think we're not that we never grow an FTE count, but we're pretty,

833
01:23:35,430 --> 01:23:39,970
I don't want to say we're a little bit stingy with the FTE counts, but we are.

834
01:23:39,970 --> 01:23:45,790
we're very conservative because those are just what you said, they become long-term obligations

835
01:23:46,330 --> 01:23:53,570
of the community to have to pay for and so I just want to make sure that you know

836
01:23:55,650 --> 01:24:03,850
is what is the cost if after the end of the five years to continue the EMR system and it also means

837
01:24:03,850 --> 01:24:10,010
means I'm adding a vehicle to the fleet, which means we'll replace the vehicle at seven

838
01:24:10,010 --> 01:24:19,550
years, eight years, depends on how many miles, anyway. I want to know the potential ongoing

839
01:24:19,550 --> 01:24:27,030
that you see when this grant runs out. What if it's successful and it's working because

840
01:24:27,030 --> 01:24:32,710
I also would love you to come back and give us data reports, I think it's important, right,

841
01:24:32,710 --> 01:24:36,710
that isn't working, is it right?

842
01:24:36,950 --> 01:24:38,750
Did we, not that you guessed right,

843
01:24:38,850 --> 01:24:41,570
but was our educated assumptions correct

844
01:24:42,210 --> 01:24:48,030
that this would further provide good service

845
01:24:48,030 --> 01:24:51,810
to the customers, to the clients, to the community?

846
01:24:52,190 --> 01:24:53,830
That's really what it's all about.

847
01:24:54,090 --> 01:24:56,430
But what do you see is the ongoing expense

848
01:24:56,430 --> 01:24:59,970
if this grant ends and then we're gonna

849
01:25:00,050 --> 01:25:10,070
We expected to consider continuing it. As we stand here today, there's no intention to continue it on beyond the grant.

850
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:31,000
So the software program, you wouldn't continue that? Oh, I'm talking about that. We already decided your persons 18 months. We got that one on the record. But I'm talking about the software system of what is its annual licensing

851
01:25:32,660 --> 01:25:43,120
I can only give you a rough estimate for the five years, it was somewhere around $220,000.

852
01:25:44,180 --> 01:25:51,380
So I would imagine, so once these five years come up, if the program is successful and

853
01:25:51,380 --> 01:25:55,140
we like it, I would imagine that we would likely apply for another grant.

854
01:25:59,430 --> 01:26:00,370
Supervisor White.

855
01:26:00,370 --> 01:26:10,890
Thank you. I'm curious how the one unmarked patrol vehicle will work. You have

856
01:26:10,890 --> 01:26:19,710
three most teams. You're talking about your added intervention and everything

857
01:26:19,710 --> 01:26:25,590
seems to be going fine until they see the black and white. How do you get this

858
01:26:25,590 --> 01:26:29,810
on Mark Car to cover three most teams 24 hours a day.

859
01:26:30,450 --> 01:26:37,550
So currently with the two vehicles that we do have our most one has a black Tahoe that

860
01:26:37,550 --> 01:26:39,910
has most ghost graphics on it.

861
01:26:40,610 --> 01:26:48,750
And our second most vehicle is a white Chevy Silverado that is on mark.

862
01:26:50,930 --> 01:26:54,630
So the asking for the third vehicle is for our third team.

863
01:26:55,750 --> 01:27:11,810
I've always been supportive of the most teams and I think any enhancement that we do as you said earlier, or Stacy said, yes, the best thing we can do with our money right now.

864
01:27:13,130 --> 01:27:24,310
I do share the concerns that you heard on the hip aside, but I think we have to recognize that these situations are very fluid.

865
01:27:24,310 --> 01:27:28,230
But people are not static, their conditions are not static.

866
01:27:29,950 --> 01:27:40,230
And being able to share this information is vital to good continuity in the care that

867
01:27:40,230 --> 01:27:41,050
these folks need.

868
01:27:42,050 --> 01:27:51,670
But I will say just as I did with the flock cameras, if you don't have a good system to protect

869
01:27:51,670 --> 01:27:56,770
this information, this can go away just as easy as we can defund the flock cameras.

870
01:27:58,610 --> 01:28:11,490
So I'm a little uncomfortable with the motion today that we can authorize accepting this

871
01:28:11,490 --> 01:28:18,350
grant and move forward working with it without having an eyeball on what the policy is going

872
01:28:18,350 --> 01:28:28,950
going to be, I would like to see that policy before I agree to the EMR software.

873
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:33,280
How far

874
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:39,700
away are we from having that policy and protections ready to have a look at?

875
01:28:41,140 --> 01:28:48,120
I would have to get with our IT and the DA's office. We've been working with the Julya managers,

876
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:54,180
If you will, on what that would look like, I know we do have, and forgive me, I don't

877
01:28:54,180 --> 01:29:01,460
know what it stands for, it's S-A-A-S agreement, that I know our DA has looked over, but I am

878
01:29:01,460 --> 01:29:03,600
not entirely sure about a policy.

879
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:16,410
We must have, well, echo department has one, health department has one, I guess, I don't

880
01:29:16,410 --> 01:29:18,870
But personally, I don't know that I need to see the policy.

881
01:29:19,510 --> 01:29:24,210
We don't see their policies, their hip of policy.

882
01:29:24,470 --> 01:29:27,590
So I don't know what makes sense for us to see yours.

883
01:29:27,890 --> 01:29:34,870
I just, I think it's enough for me to hear that you recognize it and that the D's office

884
01:29:34,870 --> 01:29:39,130
will make sure it's applicable.

885
01:29:39,130 --> 01:29:49,930
You know, it isn't a hard policy to write, it's the training that you have to follow up with

886
01:29:49,930 --> 01:29:54,590
and the understanding from the people who operate within the system as to what they can and can't do.

887
01:29:55,590 --> 01:29:59,970
Because it comes up all the time, you don't think about, you really have to think about anything.

888
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:29,180
You're disclosing and you're disclosing it too. And it's a, it's a, it's, to me, it's less about the policy and more about the training and the mind shift with the people who are going to start doing it. You know, that was the struggle that we had in the Florida part when we had to make that switch. And I would add that we already have had the policies in place because we do treat in our medical wing of the jail. They're not unfamiliar with what we're doing. Okay.

889
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:31,380
Supervisor Horton.

890
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:32,820
Just very quickly.

891
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:36,840
We're not talking about reinventing the wheel.

892
01:30:37,020 --> 01:30:38,240
You do have policies in place.

893
01:30:38,340 --> 01:30:43,220
And I think that I'm confident that the sheriff will make a commitment to us here today

894
01:30:43,220 --> 01:30:50,780
that he will implement policies that protect all those people and that protect the deputies

895
01:30:50,780 --> 01:30:55,680
and the city and he'll work with the DA's office and it will be a strong policy in place

896
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,580
It's like all of the other policies and GOs in the Sheriff's Department.

897
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:00,360
I see some deputies out here.

898
01:31:00,500 --> 01:31:01,700
I'm sure you've read all those things.

899
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:03,480
It's well-covered.

900
01:31:03,580 --> 01:31:03,740
Okay.

901
01:31:04,220 --> 01:31:09,180
When we talk about flock and other things, you know, everybody gets excited about it.

902
01:31:09,340 --> 01:31:13,300
There are policies in place and there are guidelines in place and there are rules in place

903
01:31:13,300 --> 01:31:18,720
and there are laws and we'll do the same for this, right?

904
01:31:20,140 --> 01:31:22,060
I'm confident that it will take place.

905
01:31:26,910 --> 01:31:27,230
Okay.

906
01:31:29,510 --> 01:31:40,680
I think you hear our concerns and it's for both sides, I just want you to know, I just

907
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:49,880
have true reservations. I'm going to support where you're going but there are true reservations

908
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:56,700
because I think that everyone is a human being on both sides of the equations and I want

909
01:31:56,700 --> 01:32:05,460
to protect the city from liability. I think that's oftentimes something that is missed right in

910
01:32:05,460 --> 01:32:12,500
this overall discussion that I feel equally that my job is to protect each and every one of you

911
01:32:12,500 --> 01:32:18,140
in an officer thing right because every time we do something I'm putting you in a position

912
01:32:18,140 --> 01:32:24,900
And this particular one with HIPAA has huge personal fines.

913
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:32,900
And so, when you would find out if there was a noncompliant act that you might get to

914
01:32:32,900 --> 01:32:39,500
write the check for $10,000, and it's not going to be the DA protecting you because you

915
01:32:39,500 --> 01:32:46,300
violated a rule and you were trained, I feel equally on both sides of this issue to protect

916
01:32:46,300 --> 01:32:55,140
the public and to protect you as officers, right? But I think that you as officers probably

917
01:32:55,140 --> 01:33:03,480
already have a lot of those kind of liability risks and you know it when you sign up and

918
01:33:03,480 --> 01:33:15,340
put a badge on, but to know that you're accountable and that we would hold you accountable and that

919
01:33:15,340 --> 01:33:21,500
that assurance from the sheriff that we're going to put a policy and we'll hold people accountable.

920
01:33:22,140 --> 01:33:23,760
We have those policies in.

921
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:25,240
Right. That's how it works.

922
01:33:25,460 --> 01:33:27,060
It's a small modification.

923
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:34,220
The policies, the hippopolices that currently exist specifically identify the detention environment.

924
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:38,960
Just a matter of word smithing and broadening it to other areas.

925
01:33:39,860 --> 01:33:42,300
I just have a quick question, comment.

926
01:33:42,300 --> 01:34:05,680
And I'm assuming that the interaction that you already have with clients, that you already follow, even if it's not documented to the degree that it would be in this particular program, you have already had access to that information and you're following the policy already.

927
01:34:06,480 --> 01:34:13,780
I mean, we don't have, it's more so like this program just allows us to put that information

928
01:34:13,780 --> 01:34:15,240
in a secure spot.

929
01:34:15,500 --> 01:34:15,780
Correct.

930
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:20,640
So when we are currently right now, and we're responding to calls and somebody divulges

931
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:23,300
that information to us, we're not putting that in the call.

932
01:34:23,580 --> 01:34:23,880
Correct.

933
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:27,600
It's strictly kind of just left to our memory to try to remember that.

934
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:33,040
So really with this, I'm just trying to find a program that allows us to put that information

935
01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:37,260
stream line communication but also protect the information that we're putting in there.

936
01:34:37,500 --> 01:34:43,740
And so that information left to your memory, you are already following policies and that you're not disclosing.

937
01:34:43,940 --> 01:34:46,000
Correct. Okay. Thank you.

938
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:55,880
Okay. I'm going to take a public comment and Danny is standing up so I assume that means he would like to do public comment on this item.

939
01:35:16,850 --> 01:35:46,290
Denny French Carson City. The reason I approached the officer for most is that I spoke to one of them, I believe, twin brother. But the main thing is that I spoke to us most individual and let them know about some of the triggers I'm concerned about. Uniforms and people with guns trigger my alert. Sometimes it contributes to an anxiety issue. But in most cases, if you see somebody with a gun you're going to say what's going on.

940
01:35:46,290 --> 01:35:49,370
You see somebody in a black and white, you're going to go, what's happening?

941
01:35:50,030 --> 01:35:53,850
I was parked and I had two vehicles pull up on me.

942
01:35:54,330 --> 01:35:58,250
Two black and white, two officers or two deputies got out.

943
01:35:58,770 --> 01:36:06,610
They came up and approached me and I'm like, I'm sitting in a vehicle on well because I left

944
01:36:06,610 --> 01:36:12,810
the parking lot at the library understanding that they're perspective on having vehicles in

945
01:36:12,810 --> 01:36:14,690
and there any longer than a certain amount of time

946
01:36:14,690 --> 01:36:18,150
after closing is that they were preferred to move on.

947
01:36:18,650 --> 01:36:20,810
But because of my eye issue, I pulled over,

948
01:36:21,030 --> 01:36:22,470
and then during that pullover,

949
01:36:22,910 --> 01:36:25,330
the person I was with and I got into the conversation

950
01:36:26,090 --> 01:36:27,890
wasn't thinking about the time.

951
01:36:28,390 --> 01:36:32,490
When those deputies pulled up, it disrupted my whole day.

952
01:36:33,850 --> 01:36:37,210
I handled myself, I think, as professionally as an individual

953
01:36:37,210 --> 01:36:39,370
that's not in uniform should behave.

954
01:36:39,370 --> 01:36:46,930
I listened and I appreciated their politeness and their professionalism, but when I wondered

955
01:36:46,930 --> 01:36:50,710
what why, well, it's a welfare check.

956
01:36:52,190 --> 01:36:57,550
Okay, now I get that, but I think you all are getting into this without knowing the guidelines,

957
01:36:57,550 --> 01:37:02,330
the guardrails, and this is just like a flock situation to me.

958
01:37:03,130 --> 01:37:07,570
I had my information given out by a hospital inappropriately.

959
01:37:07,570 --> 01:37:14,090
I don't know if I can go about the rules and try to sue or whatever I need to do, but information

960
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:19,670
was let out. And so, mainly vulnerable. Every time somebody says they're going to keep track

961
01:37:19,670 --> 01:37:25,030
of my information and lose it, the VA did the same thing. They had a problem. But they came to me

962
01:37:25,030 --> 01:37:32,350
and they let me know, oops, we're sorry. But that doesn't take back that my information now is in

963
01:37:32,350 --> 01:37:37,710
in networks in order to what flock is developed even though they're not particularly involved

964
01:37:37,710 --> 01:37:43,290
with any other. They are connected with other cities and other states have the access

965
01:37:43,290 --> 01:37:50,690
to the information. And that could happen here. I would not divulge anything else but

966
01:37:50,690 --> 01:37:55,810
just give them my license in the future. Let them look at it, check if I have wants and

967
01:37:55,810 --> 01:37:59,410
and see if I need help from most.

968
01:38:00,010 --> 01:38:03,150
But this is very scary to me

969
01:38:03,150 --> 01:38:05,890
and they did not present it in a way that made it

970
01:38:05,890 --> 01:38:08,530
transparent enough for someone like myself

971
01:38:08,530 --> 01:38:11,390
to analyze in and out in the ifs and buts

972
01:38:11,390 --> 01:38:16,170
and you added the help and I appreciate that.

973
01:38:16,550 --> 01:38:19,010
Because I think saying we had this in works

974
01:38:19,010 --> 01:38:22,050
and we could improve, this is not an improvement to me.

975
01:38:22,470 --> 01:38:24,650
This is an alienation situation.

976
01:38:24,650 --> 01:38:33,290
thank you. Do I have any other public comment on this item? Okay I'll bring it back up here.

977
01:38:35,170 --> 01:38:40,170
Supervisor Horton. I move to authorize the sheriff to submit the grant

978
01:38:40,170 --> 01:38:44,310
application and accept the grant and execute all necessary documents of awarded.

979
01:38:52,270 --> 01:39:02,430
I'm going to vote yes on this, but I want to be perfectly clear that I think this

980
01:39:02,430 --> 01:39:07,030
is like a pilot, right?

981
01:39:07,490 --> 01:39:13,130
I just want to be clear on that if I do not, of course, I won't be here at the five

982
01:39:13,130 --> 01:39:20,510
your mark, but I don't feel unless you produce good statistics and rationale and things for the

983
01:39:20,510 --> 01:39:30,150
continuation, I would not support then swapping in general fun to buy this computer system again,

984
01:39:30,410 --> 01:39:37,850
unless it's supported with it's doing what you say. Because oftentimes what happens, it's like

985
01:39:37,850 --> 01:39:42,210
Like you're saying, oh, this will help us reduce potentially suicides.

986
01:39:42,390 --> 01:39:45,050
Or, you know, it will let us provide better service.

987
01:39:45,350 --> 01:39:53,310
So I just really recommend that good data be put together on this because maybe it will

988
01:39:53,310 --> 01:39:59,850
will even help isolate how many calls does the most team even respond to.

989
01:40:00,340 --> 01:40:30,260
You know, how many is that? Or is it on average five calls per five touches, ten touches? You know, because I think those are interesting statistics to me in the first place. Is that, is it a one and done? Or is it? No, we really are averaging probably a lot more than that. But I just want to put that on the record. That please, please work card.

990
01:40:30,260 --> 01:40:37,720
on the policies and the training component as I agree with, with Supervisor Geome, the

991
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:43,860
most important role to protect you in your jobs, because I feel very strongly about protecting

992
01:40:44,340 --> 01:40:49,240
you as well as the public. So, with that, anybody else?

993
01:40:49,600 --> 01:41:00,840
I just have a quick comment, and I agree 100%, why I am going to support it is,

994
01:41:02,830 --> 01:41:13,510
When I've gone on right along with you and I've seen some of the calls have been repeat

995
01:41:13,510 --> 01:41:23,230
calls and ongoing and I know that that background information more than just a circumstance

996
01:41:23,230 --> 01:41:30,850
of the call but some of the mitigating factors is really helpful in terms of finding the

997
01:41:30,850 --> 01:41:41,730
best way forward. So in that regard I think the information is really important. I also appreciate

998
01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:54,960
though my hope is within the 18 month of having that person who is helping to enhance

999
01:41:54,960 --> 01:42:02,540
streamline, give ideas, and really look at critically the program and how to make it better.

1000
01:42:03,260 --> 01:42:10,120
My hope and what I'm anticipating is that the program will continue to improve.

1001
01:42:11,380 --> 01:42:20,840
And ultimately, whether this particular computer program is whether you keep it or not,

1002
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:24,880
It will be a benefit in the long-term regard.

1003
01:42:28,740 --> 01:42:32,540
Then on the motion, all those in favor, please say aye.

1004
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:33,080
Aye.

1005
01:42:33,660 --> 01:42:37,200
Any opposed say no, let the record reflect it was unanimous.

1006
01:42:37,660 --> 01:42:40,060
Go forth and do great things and get great results.

1007
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:41,060
All right.

1008
01:42:42,180 --> 01:42:47,420
Of course, I've got to give us the grant, but considering it's a 2023 burn grant, they're

1009
01:42:47,420 --> 01:42:51,060
trying to expand money, so I can tell from the grant period.

1010
01:42:51,060 --> 01:42:52,240
So thank you.

1011
01:42:54,220 --> 01:42:54,740
Okay.

1012
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:58,740
We're going to, is everybody all right or just anyone need a break?

1013
01:42:58,960 --> 01:42:59,280
We're good.

1014
01:43:00,020 --> 01:43:00,540
Okay.

1015
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:01,480
I'm good either way.

1016
01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:02,200
All right.

1017
01:43:02,440 --> 01:43:12,720
So we're going to do a presentation now on agenda item 18a regarding our drug testing trends.

1018
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:16,640
Marlena, she's queuing that up.

1019
01:43:29,740 --> 01:43:30,980
Marlena's stone for the record.

1020
01:43:31,100 --> 01:43:31,480
Good morning.

1021
01:43:31,860 --> 01:43:33,080
Thank you for having us here.

1022
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:40,480
I brought Nicolas Corbridge, he's our lab senior, to kind of discuss the trends report that we provided for you today.

1023
01:43:41,780 --> 01:43:57,840
Just a general overview, I had the opportunity to present to the board earlier this year and it was a general overview of what DAS has been working on and some of the wonderful projects that the team collectively completes every day.

1024
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:04,460
Out of that came some very specific questions about our drug testing team and results and

1025
01:44:04,460 --> 01:44:10,400
how things work and so going back to the table we decided it might be beneficial to implement

1026
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:17,840
a trends report and so Nick was able to put together the initial first quarter report to capture

1027
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:25,980
what are some of the drugs that were frequently tested positive for and at the initial rollout

1028
01:44:25,980 --> 01:44:30,720
we presented it at one of the judge's meetings and present was a district attorney's office,

1029
01:44:30,940 --> 01:44:35,540
the sheriff's office and the courts. They really liked the report. It gave them an opportunity to

1030
01:44:35,540 --> 01:44:42,900
kind of see some of the things that our team was experiencing and also it was a great way to share

1031
01:44:42,900 --> 01:44:49,180
some information with some of our community partners. And so we are going to continue providing that

1032
01:44:49,180 --> 01:44:53,600
information because it not only benefits our community partners but also within our own department.

1033
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:58,400
it gives our case workers and our officers some insight as to kind of what to keep an eye out for.

1034
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:29,420
I'm going to turn it over to Nick, and he can give you a little bit more detailed information as to what that is. Thank you. Good morning. As she said, my name is Nicholas Corbridge. I'm the senior lab technician for Department of alternative sentencing. I've been in with the department since October 2019 in this capacity. So I'm not sure if you have it on your screens in front of you, but up on the board right now is our

1035
01:45:29,420 --> 01:45:34,380
kind of a summary of our quarter two drug trend report.

1036
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:46,860
Showing in the graphs here, the top trending assays or drugs for quarter two were

1037
01:45:46,860 --> 01:45:52,920
emphetamine, THC cannabinoid, fentanyl, and ethanol gluconoride which would be alcohol.

1038
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:59,640
call. In the kind of spreadsheet there on the right-hand side, what you're seeing are

1039
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:08,080
the total times that each one of those individual drugs tested positive. We ran in

1040
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:18,280
quarter to 43,063 assays or drugs were tested and 946 of those came up positive.

1041
01:46:22,110 --> 01:46:22,690
Any questions

1042
01:46:22,690 --> 01:46:23,550
on that slide there.

1043
01:46:26,010 --> 01:46:34,310
Yes, sorry, let me let me just back up a little bit to make sure that because I think these things are important for the public to.

1044
01:46:34,550 --> 01:46:45,830
And when we're using words that makes sense to us, but maybe not to them. So an assay is it's each drug so it can be a one to many.

1045
01:46:46,930 --> 01:47:01,350
So I go and pee in a cup and you're going to test it for 10 or 12. So that's an assay is one of those drugs. Yes, ma'am. So an assay is just in this capacity. It's just another name for drug.

1046
01:47:02,510 --> 01:47:08,370
So the individual assays would be the individual drugs that we're testing each sample for.

1047
01:47:08,370 --> 01:47:16,910
We use panel system, so it's usually about 9 to 12 assays or 9 to 12 drugs that are being tested

1048
01:47:16,910 --> 01:47:23,670
for specimen provided. We try to randomize it as much as possible. There are certain assays

1049
01:47:23,670 --> 01:47:30,990
that we test with every sample. Those would be kind of our top trending drugs that are going to be

1050
01:47:30,990 --> 01:47:37,950
tested in every sample. We also use creatin, which is a validity test. It's how we test dilution

1051
01:47:37,950 --> 01:47:40,370
to make sure that the sample is actually valid.

1052
01:47:41,070 --> 01:47:42,910
So it's just a cratin, in this case,

1053
01:47:43,090 --> 01:47:45,750
it's a waste product of creatine,

1054
01:47:45,910 --> 01:47:47,890
which is naturally produced in your body,

1055
01:47:49,370 --> 01:47:51,270
with building muscle and whatnot.

1056
01:47:51,610 --> 01:47:53,630
So anything that's not absorbed by the muscle tissue

1057
01:47:54,130 --> 01:47:57,250
is then expelled through the urine and comes out

1058
01:47:57,250 --> 01:47:58,810
as the metabolite cratin.

1059
01:47:59,530 --> 01:48:03,570
So that's not, when you see the big number there

1060
01:48:03,570 --> 01:48:06,850
with cratin, those are actually showing dilute tests.

1061
01:48:07,950 --> 01:48:24,570
And an individual, so I'm looking at quarter two here, so if I'm on the client list here, I could get called for drug testing more than once within that quarter.

1062
01:48:25,010 --> 01:48:25,310
Absolutely.

1063
01:48:25,770 --> 01:48:35,290
I just I'm really trying to understand the process and have the public understand that when you go to alternative set and seeing what happens.

1064
01:48:35,290 --> 01:48:43,110
that is it? You're getting called for testing with compliance, but one of the things I can't tell

1065
01:48:43,110 --> 01:48:54,190
from the report was the number of discreet individuals if that makes sense. So I'm looking

1066
01:48:54,190 --> 01:49:02,090
was that 92 people that you did multiple tests on, was it? Is it later in the next slide?

1067
01:49:02,090 --> 01:49:04,310
I do that. I have a question on that.

1068
01:49:04,330 --> 01:49:04,430
Sure.

1069
01:49:04,610 --> 01:49:05,070
Last slide.

1070
01:49:05,870 --> 01:49:06,350
So, if the mayors.

1071
01:49:06,470 --> 01:49:06,750
Go ahead.

1072
01:49:10,870 --> 01:49:11,670
On the...

1073
01:49:11,670 --> 01:49:13,890
You have opiates listed.

1074
01:49:13,970 --> 01:49:15,370
You have opiate listed specifically.

1075
01:49:15,670 --> 01:49:18,090
But then you have opiates broken out separately.

1076
01:49:19,050 --> 01:49:21,730
So, is the opiate category...

1077
01:49:22,750 --> 01:49:25,510
An opiate other than the specifically identified opiate?

1078
01:49:25,630 --> 01:49:26,210
Is that what that is?

1079
01:49:26,390 --> 01:49:30,490
So, opiate is kind of, you know, a general...

1080
01:49:32,010 --> 01:49:34,970
opiates, just anything that's produced from like the poppy plant.

1081
01:49:35,370 --> 01:49:40,690
There are specific opioids, which are synthetic opiates.

1082
01:49:42,130 --> 01:49:48,230
In this case, like oxycodone would be one of those fentanyl, would be one of those where

1083
01:49:48,230 --> 01:49:55,330
they're actually synthetically produced based off of the opiate chemical formula.

1084
01:49:55,330 --> 01:49:59,230
So, and then for heroin, specifically,

1085
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:24,600
We're not necessarily looking for heroin, what we're looking for is the metabolite of heroin, which would be success at all of morphine. What that is is, it's a metabolite that we only find very specifically in heroin. So with our, with our reagents that we're using to actually, we're introducing them into the sample. That's what's detecting the drug when it's run through the analyzer.

1086
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,980
When we can dial it in to where we can

1087
01:50:29,980 --> 01:50:32,700
and instead of generalizing it under OPEA,

1088
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:36,360
and we can identify those very specific metabolites,

1089
01:50:36,980 --> 01:50:37,660
we'll do that.

1090
01:50:38,500 --> 01:50:40,760
So when it's available to us,

1091
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:42,280
that's where it's gonna come up

1092
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:44,620
for those very specific metabolites.

1093
01:50:45,140 --> 01:50:50,580
But what you will see is in the example of heroin again,

1094
01:50:51,660 --> 01:50:54,160
heroin will always come up positive as an OPEA as well.

1095
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:58,380
So when the individual specimen is testing positive

1096
01:50:58,380 --> 01:51:03,420
for OPA or for heroin. It's also going to come up positive for OPA.

1097
01:51:05,440 --> 01:51:06,740
It's going to be recorded

1098
01:51:06,740 --> 01:51:15,080
as both, but they're not getting a double charge against them. Right. My question was more about

1099
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:20,320
statistics as opposed to the chemistry. Yep. And I guess what I was asking, sorry if I wasn't clear

1100
01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:29,900
there. So if in this thing if you're counting opiate and an individual tested positive for

1101
01:51:29,900 --> 01:51:35,400
the heroin for heroin, they would also would statistically would also be reported here

1102
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:41,160
as an opiate. No, statistically it would be reported as heroin if if it came up as one

1103
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:47,020
of those specific metabolites. So it isn't double reported. No, that's no. So my point

1104
01:51:47,020 --> 01:51:51,040
It was the opiate is other opiates other than what you have listed.

1105
01:51:51,260 --> 01:51:51,480
Correct.

1106
01:51:51,660 --> 01:51:51,840
Okay.

1107
01:51:52,020 --> 01:51:52,840
That's all I was trying to get.

1108
01:51:52,940 --> 01:51:53,100
Okay.

1109
01:51:53,100 --> 01:51:53,840
I'm sorry.

1110
01:51:54,020 --> 01:51:54,340
That's okay.

1111
01:51:54,440 --> 01:51:54,740
Thank you.

1112
01:51:55,100 --> 01:51:58,920
And if they have alcohol also, it won't show up in the alcohol.

1113
01:51:59,360 --> 01:51:59,820
It won't.

1114
01:51:59,820 --> 01:52:02,180
Ethanol gluconoride is a metabolite of alcohol.

1115
01:52:02,460 --> 01:52:10,860
So alcohol in itself has a very short life, so I mean, we're talking hours with alcohol

1116
01:52:10,860 --> 01:52:15,500
before it actually starts to metabolize into ethanol gluconoride or ethanol sulfate.

1117
01:52:15,500 --> 01:52:18,000
In our case, we test for ethanol, gluconoride.

1118
01:52:18,220 --> 01:52:24,220
That's detectable for a habitual alcohol user up to eight days.

1119
01:52:24,860 --> 01:52:27,940
So it gives us a better window of their use.

1120
01:52:28,240 --> 01:52:31,420
If we were just to test for alcohol, like ethanol alcohol,

1121
01:52:32,180 --> 01:52:33,920
we'd have to catch them almost right away.

1122
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:41,120
But would you, if they had cocaine and alcohol,

1123
01:52:41,140 --> 01:52:43,080
would you put them in both slots?

1124
01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:43,380
Yes.

1125
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:44,680
I guess that's what it.

1126
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:58,780
Yes, what we're trying to get to again, is it a one to many. Yes. So if they were testing positive for multiple essays on on a single sample, yes, all of those would be reported. Okay. I think that again, that's what we're trying to.

1127
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:07,360
That's what we're trying to get to here is it's all of this is a what I call and stats the one to many ratio because.

1128
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:13,620
And when we go to the next slide, I'm not seeing what I'm asking for, but it's okay.

1129
01:53:13,780 --> 01:53:21,760
We'll get there to what we're trying to, or what I'm trying to get to, because it really relates to everything with drug courts.

1130
01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:31,520
And so, if I could chime in real quickly too, so generally speaking, when someone sees a judge on their charge,

1131
01:53:31,700 --> 01:53:38,440
the judge will oftentimes implement a drug testing condition, and that condition could vary from high frequency

1132
01:53:38,440 --> 01:53:43,320
a medium frequency to low frequency and generally the courts will determine what that will look like.

1133
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:48,820
So high frequency is random three times a week, medium low so it kind of tears down.

1134
01:53:49,780 --> 01:53:55,700
So right now we have on average anywhere from 85 to 90 individuals testing a day

1135
01:53:56,620 --> 01:54:01,380
and usually what if you know if they're in compliance and they've demonstrated that they're

1136
01:54:01,380 --> 01:54:07,680
sober so provide 90 days of negative tests we will we have permission we will tear them down to

1137
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:13,380
medium frequency and then another 90 days low frequency and if they're doing really well we can report

1138
01:54:13,380 --> 01:54:20,880
back to the courts indicating this person's done you know fantastic. Also if they were initially

1139
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:27,940
placed on medium or low testing but they've demonstrated that they have chronic substance abuse then we

1140
01:54:27,940 --> 01:54:33,480
can also tear them up meaning increase their testing and or look for other forms of testing if necessary.

1141
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:34,480
So,

1142
01:54:43,630 --> 01:54:48,470
this next slide here kind of summarizes some of our key findings for quarter two.

1143
01:54:48,970 --> 01:54:55,170
If you look at the spreadsheet there, what you're seeing is it broken down by the three

1144
01:54:55,170 --> 01:54:55,990
months of the quarter.

1145
01:54:55,990 --> 01:54:59,970
So we got April, May, and June, the first-

1146
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:29,800
I'll call them in each one of those sections is the number of times those specific assays were tested. The column to the immediate right of those numbers for month are the number of times that assay tested positive. Does that mean? Yeah. No. I'll try to explain this a little bit different. And I really appreciate this report. And I think you're you're providing, you know, valuable information that deals

1147
01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:38,180
with the drug tests themselves, but I'm looking to add a component to know whether, again,

1148
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:42,300
are we having success? It's kind of like the last discussion you heard with the sheriff's office,

1149
01:55:42,500 --> 01:55:50,220
right? How do I put this in context? And so I don't have a contextual component on this.

1150
01:55:57,020 --> 01:55:59,220
So in

1151
01:55:59,220 --> 01:56:11,480
people, 50 people, 100 people, and then when I can come and say of that 50 people, 2% in

1152
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:16,900
this case, it's bad to get a positive test. But anyway, kind of counterintuitive there

1153
01:56:16,900 --> 01:56:26,460
too. But I'm really looking to say is 1%, does all this testing actually help us keep

1154
01:56:26,460 --> 01:56:31,940
them compliant. I'm assuming the answer is yes, but I don't like to assume I love data,

1155
01:56:33,220 --> 01:56:38,620
but I like to relate that then to the male health court because when everyone's asking for money

1156
01:56:38,620 --> 01:56:46,700
and everyone's doing all the things we're after, is this a great intervention? By having them come

1157
01:56:46,700 --> 01:56:52,520
in test, it keeps them on the straight and narrow, and when I look at this, I think, wow,

1158
01:56:52,520 --> 01:57:00,620
I think that it's very positive when I see the low percentage of positive tests.

1159
01:57:01,180 --> 01:57:07,860
But I'd rather, like you said earlier, is it Lori testing and she's having difficulty

1160
01:57:07,860 --> 01:57:16,300
because she's tested nine times during this and she's failed eight times and Marlena's done

1161
01:57:16,300 --> 01:57:17,760
it and never failed once.

1162
01:57:18,100 --> 01:57:20,100
So I don't have any context.

1163
01:57:20,100 --> 01:57:28,540
This is just numbers out there without how many clients, individual clients were tested.

1164
01:57:29,060 --> 01:57:34,360
So I'm just asking if that can be added, that you say, oh, yeah, absolutely, Mary, I don't know.

1165
01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:36,920
We did 45 people during this order.

1166
01:57:37,380 --> 01:57:44,720
With our tracking system that we use to, that actually communicates with the analyzer when the orders come in to the lab,

1167
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:47,220
It's coming through a program called Paraselces.

1168
01:57:48,920 --> 01:58:00,280
Paraselces then communicates with our analyzer, so that's how the analyzer knows who I'm testing, what I'm testing for, I don't make any changes to the order so as they come in.

1169
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:07,900
I don't have any, you know, real personal contact with any of our clientele or anything like that being that I'm in the lab.

1170
01:58:09,620 --> 01:58:15,220
However, Paracelsus does enable us to track donor statistics as well.

1171
01:58:15,980 --> 01:58:21,640
So for, I'm happy to get that information, unfortunately I don't have it right now, but I'm

1172
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:24,860
happy to get that information for quarter two and quarter one for you.

1173
01:58:25,380 --> 01:58:26,660
And I can send that over.

1174
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:32,120
And then for our Q3 report, I will be happy to include that.

1175
01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:40,880
I think it just gives it context right instead of just a stat because I do go to a court

1176
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:48,340
and love to do the graduations and things of that nature but I love seeing all the pieces

1177
01:58:48,340 --> 01:58:54,500
of the puzzle and really what workload and that's why it was so important that I understand

1178
01:58:54,500 --> 01:59:00,260
what an assay is because you're like oh my god they did this many tests but I think when

1179
01:59:00,260 --> 01:59:05,080
And we see the perspective and add the number of individuals it will bring it context.

1180
01:59:06,020 --> 01:59:07,520
So thank you so much.

1181
01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:15,580
And by specimen, like not by donor, we did 4,521 specimens in quarter two.

1182
01:59:15,740 --> 01:59:18,620
So that would be the individual samples provided.

1183
01:59:19,260 --> 01:59:21,880
And then those outsides would be extracted from that.

1184
01:59:22,120 --> 01:59:25,360
So again, about 9 to 12 per sample.

1185
01:59:28,460 --> 01:59:41,440
But again, so we can look at this chart here and we can see how many times that assay was tested in Q2 versus how many times it actually came up positive.

1186
01:59:42,060 --> 01:59:53,640
Our key findings for quarter two, THC remained the most prevalent drug detected with 330 positive results, 7.4% positivity during Q2.

1187
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:59,960
THC positivity did decline 36% from April to June from...

1188
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:06,820
Item 123 to 79 positive results. So that was a positive trend to see that.

1189
02:00:07,380 --> 02:00:14,100
Bufan Orphan had the highest overall positivity rate at 8% increasing to 10.9% in June. However,

1190
02:00:14,260 --> 02:00:17,860
it should be noted that these results are consistent with prescribed medication and

1191
02:00:17,860 --> 02:00:23,800
not an indicator of a list of drug use. So Bufan Orphan, you may better know it as suboxone.

1192
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:29,920
It's a treatment drug that is used to treat opioid addiction.

1193
02:00:32,020 --> 02:00:39,980
We have quite a few of our clients that have medical necessity letters providing us with

1194
02:00:39,980 --> 02:00:41,600
a prescription for some oxygen.

1195
02:00:42,220 --> 02:00:49,440
We still test for it because we like to see that they are taking our medications with our

1196
02:00:49,440 --> 02:00:50,200
type of testing.

1197
02:00:50,200 --> 02:00:54,080
amino acid testing, we are looking for the presence of that drug in our system, not necessarily

1198
02:00:54,710 --> 02:00:56,560
how much or how they took it.

1199
02:00:57,100 --> 02:01:02,600
So it is important that even people that are on prescription medications, that we are

1200
02:01:02,600 --> 02:01:03,720
tracking that information.

1201
02:01:04,380 --> 02:01:08,560
So that kind of equates to the high numbers that you're seeing for beef and orphan.

1202
02:01:09,380 --> 02:01:15,360
We don't see, I think, in my seven years that I've been here, I've seen one time,

1203
02:01:18,160 --> 02:01:19,100
beef and

1204
02:01:19,100 --> 02:01:28,620
have. So, in fetamine was the second most frequently detected drug with 159 positives, but it

1205
02:01:28,620 --> 02:01:34,580
did decline 41% from April to June. So again, a positive result there. ETG

1206
02:01:34,580 --> 02:01:39,820
positives increased overall during quarter two, peaking at 39 positives in May and remaining

1207
02:01:40,380 --> 02:01:48,720
elevated at 31 in June. Overall, positivity decreased from 2.33% in April to 1.86

1208
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:56,660
in June, while monthly testing volume remained relatively stable throughout the quarter, so again, another positive trend there.

1209
02:01:58,320 --> 02:02:09,660
And I just included, again, that note about creatin, that it is not actually calculated in our positive totals that is used as a validity test.

1210
02:02:14,300 --> 02:02:21,620
So here are any more questions or comments or anything else you'd like to see in future reports.

1211
02:02:21,620 --> 02:02:27,140
reports because I know they they love our feedback. I know more work but

1212
02:02:27,140 --> 02:02:31,280
hopefully you can just pull it right out of the system. It's not I don't want

1213
02:02:31,280 --> 02:02:35,820
you to hand-calculate anything. There's a little bit of calculation that goes

1214
02:02:35,820 --> 02:02:43,400
into it but I'm happy to do it for you. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate your time

1215
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:46,620
and I just kind of wanted to capitalize on something that Nick shared. He

1216
02:02:46,620 --> 02:02:51,280
indicated that for quarter two we had a little over 4,000 specimens that we

1217
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:57,340
collected and just to kind of help put things into perspective quickly in 2021 at the end

1218
02:02:57,340 --> 02:03:03,760
of the calendar year we tested over 8,000. Here we are in 2026 and in just one quarter

1219
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:10,120
we have over 4,000 so the volume of testing has increased significantly in five short

1220
02:03:10,120 --> 02:03:15,280
years and I am proud to say even though it wasn't indicated here, our positivity rates believe

1221
02:03:15,280 --> 02:03:20,640
it or not are pretty low considering the volume of tests that we do on a daily basis and

1222
02:03:20,640 --> 02:03:24,580
And so that's just a testament to the team, the report that the officers and the case

1223
02:03:24,580 --> 02:03:27,500
workers and our specialists build with our clientele.

1224
02:03:28,520 --> 02:03:31,480
Just because it's a positive test doesn't indicate failure.

1225
02:03:31,660 --> 02:03:38,800
It just means that maybe we need to redirect and provide different resources or maybe go a

1226
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:39,480
different direction.

1227
02:03:39,660 --> 02:03:42,140
And so I just wanted to say thank you for your time.

1228
02:03:42,580 --> 02:03:43,780
I'm very proud of the team.

1229
02:03:44,260 --> 02:03:45,780
I'm so grateful Nick was here today.

1230
02:03:45,780 --> 02:03:51,380
as you can see, he's the subject matter expert when it comes to the assays and the percentages,

1231
02:03:51,820 --> 02:03:56,960
and I hope we have an opportunity to come back. Thank you. Supervisor White.

1232
02:03:57,280 --> 02:04:06,160
Yeah, thank you. This is pretty interesting stuff. I know it seems like April was substantially

1233
02:04:06,160 --> 02:04:08,140
more busy than May and June.

1234
02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:16,140
And it seemed like May was all over the board for positive

1235
02:04:16,140 --> 02:04:25,300
tests. Did you rotate people out, get new folks in? What do you think created that, you

1236
02:04:25,300 --> 02:04:33,740
know, looks like more than a couple of thousand fewer tests May and June compared to April.

1237
02:04:37,680 --> 02:04:59,980
Um, it could be a variable of things sometimes testing will increase because it's the summertime and I know that's not really a educated answer, but it kind of depends on what's going on really sometimes in the summertime, you'll see, you know, alcohol levels increase or certain substances will increase because it's summertime and people aren't necessarily

1238
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:28,040
It's certainly making the best life decision. So it doesn't really have a lot to do with the staff that we have on board because the testing standards remain the same whether it's 202 people testing or 50 people testing. The expectation is the same. So I can't really say why the test increase. Maybe we had an influx of certain type of cases that came through the court. And the judges had more people on color code testing or testing with us.

1239
02:05:28,040 --> 02:05:32,780
So, kind of just varies and I don't really have a good tracking system for that right now,

1240
02:05:32,780 --> 02:05:35,820
but if that's something that you're interested in, that we'd be happy to look at.

1241
02:05:38,380 --> 02:05:46,300
Well, I think that goes with what the mayor said, you know, how many unique individuals

1242
02:05:46,860 --> 02:05:47,780
are in the system?

1243
02:05:48,020 --> 02:05:48,220
Right.

1244
02:05:49,240 --> 02:05:50,580
And a place to that idea.

1245
02:05:51,760 --> 02:06:00,760
So, just in general, so is it still color of the day that if I'm on required testing,

1246
02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:07,740
I call, they call in each morning and find out, like you said, oh yay, purple, purple

1247
02:06:07,740 --> 02:06:13,680
is called today and you've got two hours or whatever to respond, is that the same process,

1248
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:19,420
nothing's really changed on that, okay, I just like to keep up, keep up with things.

1249
02:06:19,420 --> 02:06:28,920
I used to employ yeah no my staff had orange and I just remember that I had to call and ask

1250
02:06:28,920 --> 02:06:33,940
alternative sentencing if you want me to keep hiring and giving people a chance you have to

1251
02:06:33,940 --> 02:06:40,480
spread out the colors because you take my entire staff and they had two hours to run we'll be

1252
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:46,280
right back I'm like you can't leave in the middle of a lunch shift but so I had to call and say would

1253
02:06:46,280 --> 02:06:50,460
But you just like give them different colors, so I don't lose them all the same time.

1254
02:06:50,980 --> 02:06:53,240
So I was just interested if it was the same.

1255
02:06:53,420 --> 02:07:04,300
But I think it's wonderful when I see the actual positive test numbers because I think

1256
02:07:04,300 --> 02:07:10,680
that I want to see the teamwork and I don't think it's any one thing that's making it successful.

1257
02:07:11,220 --> 02:07:14,680
I think it's the combination of everything, right?

1258
02:07:14,680 --> 02:07:18,540
because how often do they go to court and their tests are given to the judge.

1259
02:07:18,840 --> 02:07:31,520
And there's team members everywhere trying to wrap good services to help those community members get back to being good contributing members of the community.

1260
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:32,480
So thank you.

1261
02:07:33,900 --> 02:07:34,460
Anybody?

1262
02:07:34,780 --> 02:07:35,480
Nobody else? Okay.

1263
02:07:35,660 --> 02:07:36,440
Thank you so much.

1264
02:07:36,620 --> 02:07:36,920
Thank you.

1265
02:07:39,600 --> 02:07:44,860
Okay, keep on going. Nobody's requesting one. We'll just keep on motoring through then.

1266
02:07:45,060 --> 02:07:51,480
We're on agenda item 19a. This is discussion and action on the community development

1267
02:07:51,480 --> 02:07:59,200
block grant. We have to do all this work to get this great money. So you see, NIA, you're

1268
02:07:59,200 --> 02:08:03,340
going to just give us some highlights of this, please. Yes, of course. So good morning.

1269
02:08:03,340 --> 02:08:05,600
I'm Jacob Grant's administrator for the record.

1270
02:08:06,240 --> 02:08:08,860
Today's item is to discuss and seek approval

1271
02:08:08,860 --> 02:08:10,720
to submit the Carson City's consolidated

1272
02:08:10,720 --> 02:08:12,680
annual performance and evaluation report,

1273
02:08:12,860 --> 02:08:15,540
also known as the Caper summarizes

1274
02:08:15,540 --> 02:08:18,380
what the city accomplished with its CDBG funding

1275
02:08:18,380 --> 02:08:21,100
during the 2025-2026 program year.

1276
02:08:21,720 --> 02:08:25,440
The Caper is currently available for a 15-day public comment

1277
02:08:25,440 --> 02:08:27,820
period through September 24th.

1278
02:08:27,820 --> 02:08:30,080
Today's meeting also provides an opportunity

1279
02:08:30,080 --> 02:08:31,720
for the public to comment

1280
02:08:31,720 --> 02:08:38,240
and for the board to provide any changes before the report is submitted by the September 28th deadline.

1281
02:08:41,470 --> 02:08:46,410
What was the last date range out for public comment?

1282
02:08:47,250 --> 02:08:52,390
So the public comment started on September 9th and it ends on the 24th,

1283
02:08:54,420 --> 02:08:56,780
so it gives 16 days in

1284
02:08:59,050 --> 02:09:00,050
the deadline.

1285
02:09:00,110 --> 02:09:04,310
So we're taking action prior to public comment period ending?

1286
02:09:04,310 --> 02:09:07,590
Well, the deadline to submit the report is the 28.

1287
02:09:10,090 --> 02:09:10,670
Huh.

1288
02:09:14,060 --> 02:09:14,380
Yeah.

1289
02:09:14,880 --> 02:09:16,740
My question was related to that.

1290
02:09:16,900 --> 02:09:19,960
Why couldn't we, is there a reason we couldn't have moved this earlier?

1291
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:20,560
Right.

1292
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:22,800
The public comment period.

1293
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:23,400
I wasn't aware yet.

1294
02:09:23,400 --> 02:09:27,380
So we were approving a document with the public comment period closed.

1295
02:09:27,840 --> 02:09:27,960
Right.

1296
02:09:28,660 --> 02:09:29,280
Just with.

1297
02:09:30,240 --> 02:09:32,640
So we reached out to HUD to.

1298
02:09:32,640 --> 02:09:39,640
you, because we can't start the paper without the approved annual plan that we submitted.

1299
02:09:40,780 --> 02:09:45,700
And there are some day delays in communication with HUD, so we could not start the paper

1300
02:09:45,700 --> 02:09:52,240
after we got the clarification from HUD, so we couldn't submit, create the report earlier.

1301
02:09:52,580 --> 02:09:56,640
So this was a federal delay caused by the federal government?

1302
02:09:57,320 --> 02:09:57,580
Yes.

1303
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:10,460
We're also in transition, so the San Francisco HUD office has now transitioned to Arizona, so they're also in transition.

1304
02:10:12,990 --> 02:10:31,530
So we submitted the annual, the stuff that starts this timely, or we, and they just didn't respond back. Yes, because in the IDIS portal, where we submit all of our work in the instructions, we are supposed to, before we could

1305
02:10:31,530 --> 02:10:33,590
even download the Caper template.

1306
02:10:34,050 --> 02:10:37,090
The annual action plan has to be approved by HUD.

1307
02:10:38,490 --> 02:10:39,390
So we're waiting on that.

1308
02:10:39,930 --> 02:10:40,050
Yes.

1309
02:10:41,370 --> 02:10:45,890
Well, and I mean, I guess the point is,

1310
02:10:46,070 --> 02:10:48,770
if public comment does come in, you will include it.

1311
02:10:48,970 --> 02:10:49,370
Yes.

1312
02:10:49,790 --> 02:10:52,150
And we will just have to take action on that

1313
02:10:52,150 --> 02:10:56,490
in next year's right, if we wanted to change something,

1314
02:10:56,630 --> 02:10:57,390
we would just have to.

1315
02:10:57,930 --> 02:11:00,130
Yes, and for the public comment,

1316
02:11:00,130 --> 02:11:06,090
And we usually attach a summary and attach it to the report and submit it to HUD.

1317
02:11:08,690 --> 02:11:18,130
You can tell how thrilled we are that we look like we're approving something without the public comment period being closed.

1318
02:11:18,410 --> 02:11:20,030
Well, I mean, I guess the big is-

1319
02:11:20,030 --> 02:11:23,330
They're forcing us, yeah, and the biggest part of them is into it.

1320
02:11:23,430 --> 02:11:28,810
The public comment will be included, it's not like we're excluding it, we just won't be able to take action on it.

1321
02:11:28,810 --> 02:11:35,310
And we also asked for an extension three times however they did not get back to us.

1322
02:11:35,450 --> 02:11:39,210
So then they're aware of the, they're aware of the issue.

1323
02:11:39,430 --> 02:11:44,950
I guess that makes me feel better that, okay, HUD, you know you're part of this and you

1324
02:11:44,950 --> 02:11:52,470
don't want to grant an extension, therefore you're fine with just having it attached.

1325
02:11:53,150 --> 02:11:59,740
And is this one we look at, we do, we look at it every year.

1326
02:11:59,740 --> 02:12:16,040
So if we receive, like you said, we can incorporate it into next year's reaction that we would need to do if somebody commented on something that was substantial enough that we should make a change.

1327
02:12:16,620 --> 02:12:24,760
Yeah, so the report isn't due to the 28th, so we'll absolutely put everything we need to in the report for this year, and we can send you a copy if you'd like.

1328
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:32,420
I do understand you're approving it today, which is early, however, we have never received

1329
02:12:32,420 --> 02:12:37,940
one comment from the public on anything related to CDBG since we moved ahead.

1330
02:12:38,660 --> 02:12:43,120
So I think the risk that somebody is going to comment on it is pretty small.

1331
02:12:44,640 --> 02:12:48,130
We get it.

1332
02:12:49,270 --> 02:12:52,730
All right, I'll take any public comment on this item.

1333
02:12:52,730 --> 02:12:56,610
I can see Danny, come on up.

1334
02:13:05,830 --> 02:13:12,250
Danny French Carson City, Nevada, I'm going to be an objective I think as I possibly

1335
02:13:12,250 --> 02:13:16,770
can with my biases aside as much as I can because I'm aware of some of mine.

1336
02:13:17,190 --> 02:13:21,750
I'm aware of the fact that when information is not put out there, you're not going to

1337
02:13:21,750 --> 02:13:27,250
get people's responses or public comment and I don't believe that the information that's

1338
02:13:27,250 --> 02:13:56,690
put into this particular item 19a was sufficient to have anybody be able to really make a public comment so I object to it being voted on without it having that public comment deal on pushing it on to later well things will change between now and then in our comments would change relative and I'd like it in capitals I have to texting capitals because I can't see otherwise and then so

1339
02:13:56,690 --> 02:13:59,910
So my public comment, maybe the only one you're getting,

1340
02:14:00,230 --> 02:14:03,890
objecting to your voting as you intend to, thank you.

1341
02:14:05,780 --> 02:14:11,380
Okay, I'll bring it back up here for any further discussion

1342
02:14:11,380 --> 02:14:12,500
in action.

1343
02:14:13,060 --> 02:14:15,860
Supervisor Shooti, you have a comment question.

1344
02:14:16,660 --> 02:14:23,320
Regarding the role of the public comment, assuming comments

1345
02:14:23,320 --> 02:14:25,440
came in, how is that used?

1346
02:14:26,280 --> 02:14:30,620
So, how do you use public comment as our citizen participation?

1347
02:14:31,700 --> 02:14:38,720
So, for citizen participation, what does that mean, if so they would like the citizens

1348
02:14:38,720 --> 02:14:44,700
to be involved with the, so the, with HUD we created a consolidated plan which is five

1349
02:14:44,700 --> 02:14:51,960
years, so they want the citizens which the plan benefits to be able to participate in all

1350
02:14:51,960 --> 02:14:52,420
aspects.

1351
02:14:52,420 --> 02:14:59,760
So, to get a better pulse on how the services are working.

1352
02:15:00,140 --> 02:15:29,760
Yes, and for example, the Caper summarizes the accomplishments of one of the main accomplishments for this year was the completion of the CarMite ADA Improvement project. So that is what is being reported and it's just the accomplishments of the program here. So yeah, I'm going to add some real quick. So this is like the wrap up report of the year. So in the beginning where they have us do public comment on the projects.

1353
02:15:32,820 --> 02:15:37,720
And those are very important because that's like helping with the direction that the plan is going.

1354
02:15:38,240 --> 02:15:40,800
This is a wrap-up, so it's already done for the year.

1355
02:15:41,400 --> 02:15:48,020
So we wouldn't change our report at all, but we would add those comments to it for potentially future changes.

1356
02:15:48,900 --> 02:15:51,700
In this comment period, yeah.

1357
02:15:52,160 --> 02:15:55,600
That is really helpful. I found this report to be very thorough.

1358
02:15:55,600 --> 02:16:04,580
And those areas where if there was nothing, you know, the zeros then there was an explanation

1359
02:16:04,580 --> 02:16:11,600
asked you, this particular portion, the grant is not addressing that.

1360
02:16:12,340 --> 02:16:19,020
And then on the further pages, really going into detail what the grant did address and

1361
02:16:19,020 --> 02:16:20,040
the why behind it.

1362
02:16:20,040 --> 02:16:26,960
So I am very comfortable with this, but I think it's also important that for the record

1363
02:16:26,960 --> 02:16:32,040
we understand the role of the public comment and how it fits in.

1364
02:16:32,380 --> 02:16:32,860
So thank you.

1365
02:16:33,180 --> 02:16:33,500
Absolutely.

1366
02:16:33,860 --> 02:16:38,740
And we were scrambling and contacting Hudd daily trying to get them to approve that so

1367
02:16:38,740 --> 02:16:39,720
we could move forward.

1368
02:16:40,480 --> 02:16:44,660
So it was kind of, they put us kind of a between a rock and a hard place and we're doing

1369
02:16:44,660 --> 02:16:47,200
our best to get it done and so we can continue to get our money.

1370
02:16:49,220 --> 02:17:07,180
Well, and to get the money to provide the service that we said we were going to do in the plan to help those individuals that might be making the public comment on that I think the only component of the public comment is if they think there's a misstatement.

1371
02:17:07,180 --> 02:17:12,580
And that would be the only thing I would be, you know, for this report, you'd be looking

1372
02:17:12,580 --> 02:17:18,760
for them to say, huh, we went out and looked at such and such a project and it didn't

1373
02:17:18,760 --> 02:17:20,680
exist, so I don't know what you're reporting.

1374
02:17:21,280 --> 02:17:27,620
And you go, oh, we put the wrong street name, you know, something of that nature, but I don't

1375
02:17:27,620 --> 02:17:34,780
think that's of concern that these are certainly projects we're well aware of, so I don't

1376
02:17:34,780 --> 02:18:04,520
I don't think you have any of those type of errors in here and since it's the public participation component that HUD uses, I'm fairly comfortable with where we're going and that we did put it on the website on September 4th and then published it on the 8th to give the public opportunity to comment not as fully as we'd like, but they have all the way to the 24th.

1377
02:18:04,520 --> 02:18:06,020
they can continue to comment.

1378
02:18:06,980 --> 02:18:09,400
I'd so I'm gonna put that on the record too, just in case.

1379
02:18:10,180 --> 02:18:16,500
Then we'll only have four short days to load it, right?

1380
02:18:16,920 --> 02:18:18,300
So anyway, thank you.

1381
02:18:20,020 --> 02:18:22,460
Supervisor Geome, you're ready for a motion?

1382
02:18:22,580 --> 02:18:25,760
Ann, I move to approve the presented keeper

1383
02:18:25,760 --> 02:18:27,900
and authorised staff to include a summary

1384
02:18:27,900 --> 02:18:31,020
of public comments in submit the report on time.

1385
02:18:31,020 --> 02:18:40,280
I have a motion and a second all those in favor please say aye aye any opposed say no but the record

1386
02:18:40,280 --> 02:18:49,020
reflect it was unanimous thank you we sorry to do this I know you're last and ready to go but

1387
02:18:49,020 --> 02:18:58,060
we're going to take just a brief recess so that we're paying attention to your right yeah

1388
02:18:58,060 --> 02:18:58,940
Board

1389
02:19:30,020 --> 02:19:35,680
of Supervisors back to order. We're on agenda item 20A discussion and

1390
02:19:35,680 --> 02:19:41,220
possible action on an MOU between Carson City and Muscle Power to work on a

1391
02:19:41,220 --> 02:19:47,480
bike park at Centennial. Ms. Budge is in Washington DC so I'm not going to call

1392
02:19:47,480 --> 02:19:50,820
you Jennifer would you like to take us through this? I'm going to come over there at

1393
02:19:50,820 --> 02:19:54,940
Dan so I'm guessing Dan would you like to give us some highlights? Absolutely.

1394
02:19:58,320 --> 02:19:58,800
Dan

1395
02:19:58,800 --> 02:19:59,980
It's a pleasure to be able to introduce this eye.

1396
02:20:08,820 --> 02:20:29,980
So, I know it's been around for a while, and I'm glad that now Muscle Power is getting involved in kind of taking the reins on this project. And we're obviously Muscle Power. It's been a great partner to us in the city for many years doing lots of work. I know it's been around for a while, and I'm glad that now Muscle Power is getting involved in kind of taking the reins on this project. And we're obviously Muscle Power.

1397
02:20:29,980 --> 02:20:36,940
trail projects throughout the city and we did present this item at the park's

1398
02:20:36,940 --> 02:20:41,380
recognition meeting at the last one and it was approved there. So it's about

1399
02:20:41,380 --> 02:20:44,920
pleasure to be able to introduce Dan Thornton from Muscle Powered and he'll be

1400
02:20:44,920 --> 02:20:49,340
doing kind of the presentation where the project is and and I'll be able to be

1401
02:20:49,340 --> 02:20:54,240
here to help answer any questions on the city side. Thank you so much. Dan, the

1402
02:20:54,240 --> 02:21:01,560
other Dan. If the Dan and Dan show today, it's cool, sir. Thank you for

1403
02:21:01,560 --> 02:21:03,460
Here's your time and thank you for your service to the city.

1404
02:21:03,820 --> 02:21:05,080
It's genuinely appreciated.

1405
02:21:06,440 --> 02:21:10,980
Yeah, my parents both set a high bar for me in public participation.

1406
02:21:11,240 --> 02:21:13,220
And that's probably a large reason why I'm here.

1407
02:21:13,480 --> 02:21:18,040
You were interviewing a couple of candidates for the tourism commission earlier.

1408
02:21:18,040 --> 02:21:24,720
My father served on the state tourism commission and helped to actually create great base in national park with the senators at that time.

1409
02:21:25,360 --> 02:21:29,220
Remember flying out there to their little white project tent and

1410
02:21:29,220 --> 02:21:33,620
putting a shovel in the ground and all that fun stuff. So that's part of why I'm here.

1411
02:21:34,420 --> 02:21:39,240
And I also want to say that I have a love-hate relationship with the

1412
02:21:39,780 --> 02:21:42,660
rabid brush right now. So if I'm sniffling, I'm sorry.

1413
02:21:46,360 --> 02:21:51,300
It's so beautiful this time of year, but when I'm out riding in it, I think I get big doses. So

1414
02:21:52,640 --> 02:21:57,680
as our opening slides here, no, it's we were in front of the Parks and Recreation Commission

1415
02:21:57,680 --> 02:22:13,440
back in August and it was the unanimous approval as far as the how long the project has been going on and it was I think it initially envisioned in 2017, although if I look on Google, I found something back in 2004 where somebody was talking about a bike park in Carson City.

1416
02:22:14,060 --> 02:22:21,280
But in, of course, as I've mentioned in the past, I think 2017 to 2019, it was just kind

1417
02:22:21,280 --> 02:22:26,340
of getting out of the ground and then COVID hit and it was shelved and along with a lot

1418
02:22:26,340 --> 02:22:27,120
of things, obviously.

1419
02:22:28,520 --> 02:22:32,640
I started talking about this with some friends and we're thinking, you know, look, we got

1420
02:22:32,640 --> 02:22:37,100
bike parks in Reno, we got bike parks at Lake Tahoe, we got bike parks in Trekkie and most

1421
02:22:37,100 --> 02:22:41,100
of these bike parks are closed six months of the year for snow, you know, why don't we have

1422
02:22:41,100 --> 02:22:41,840
one in Carson City?

1423
02:22:41,840 --> 02:22:47,260
And we have such a huge biking culture here, and as we talked about earlier, and I think

1424
02:22:47,260 --> 02:22:53,260
when your key piece was what is a missing piece in our puzzle to get people to do a multi-day

1425
02:22:53,260 --> 02:22:56,060
stay here, you teed me up so perfectly.

1426
02:22:56,760 --> 02:23:02,200
I cannot even tell you how much I was listening to the reading earlier, and I'm serious, right?

1427
02:23:02,720 --> 02:23:04,940
People travel for bike parks, they do.

1428
02:23:05,560 --> 02:23:10,500
And if we put in the kind of bike park that we hope to present and is our intention to present,

1429
02:23:10,500 --> 02:23:14,840
It will be a premier facility, a premier municipal facility.

1430
02:23:15,360 --> 02:23:20,920
So as people travel with their bikes, can you convince them they shouldn't cover up their tail lights with their bicycles?

1431
02:23:22,540 --> 02:23:28,500
So the burning man thing, I get like that, but now I understand what your concern is, I can't do that.

1432
02:23:30,760 --> 02:23:39,620
So anyway, I really do want to just, I'm kind of getting ahead of myself a little bit, but there is strong research on the amount of people that travel for bike parks.

1433
02:23:39,620 --> 02:23:43,420
and they put heads and beds, and we are on 50.

1434
02:23:44,140 --> 02:23:49,620
There's an amazing amount of people that travel from Colorado out to Lake Tahoe during the summer time on 50.

1435
02:23:50,400 --> 02:23:54,640
And I mean, there's absolutely no reason that they wouldn't stop in Carson City for a Primer Bike Park and ride.

1436
02:23:55,820 --> 02:23:58,700
So I'll get back to my notes, I told myself I was going to stay on track.

1437
02:24:00,480 --> 02:24:05,300
I think you all know who Muscle Power is, we've had a long partnership with the city, very successful.

1438
02:24:05,980 --> 02:24:11,100
We have several award-winning trails that we've created and are maintaining the last couple of years.

1439
02:24:11,160 --> 02:24:14,120
Bindak to D.C., some of our board members to receive awards.

1440
02:24:15,240 --> 02:24:19,660
So I think, you know, and when you talk to a lot of people about car sensitive,

1441
02:24:19,820 --> 02:24:23,340
and we heard this earlier today in that presentation, what did they mention, trails?

1442
02:24:24,860 --> 02:24:28,320
That word must have come up eight times earlier today, right?

1443
02:24:28,800 --> 02:24:33,740
And I'm proud to say that muscle power is responsible for a good portion of those trails for maintaining those trails.

1444
02:24:33,740 --> 02:24:36,840
and I think adds a lot of quality life to the area.

1445
02:24:38,440 --> 02:24:40,000
Okay, so

1446
02:24:42,240 --> 02:24:42,760
that's that one.

1447
02:24:44,040 --> 02:24:46,940
So what we are asking for tonight is an MOU.

1448
02:24:47,560 --> 02:24:57,920
And this would be an agreement that would essentially allow us to start moving forward with the planning, fundraising, design, and development, which really is phase one of this project.

1449
02:24:59,040 --> 02:24:59,880
phase 1s.

1450
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:28,860
We really won't be construction, it'll be this initial phase. And specifically, what it does not do is what you see there. There is no commitment to any city funding on this. There is no conveyance property interest. It does not authorize construction and it does not settle a final design or footprint. So, again, going back to what it does do is it helps us get to that phase, right? So we need to go out, raise money so we can pay for design and then come back to you.

1451
02:25:28,860 --> 02:25:35,520
And you'll have numerous chances to look at what we bring back, as far as what the design is and what the final footprint is.

1452
02:25:41,510 --> 02:25:42,470
Breath here,

1453
02:25:45,600 --> 02:25:55,360
just wanted to reiterate what a bike park is that everybody has an understanding the facility will be designed from the outset to be inclusive.

1454
02:25:55,840 --> 02:26:04,580
This is everything from, the balance bikes now you literally see children as young as 18 months old on balance bikes.

1455
02:26:04,580 --> 02:26:19,340
And all the way up to no age limit, just basically, you know, people that can get out there it will be family friendly and we are looking at including adaptive writers from the outset.

1456
02:26:19,900 --> 02:26:22,580
So there will be an adaptive component to this.

1457
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:30,620
A lot of facilities that have been existing for years, they've had to kind of go backwards on creating the adaptive part of the writing.

1458
02:26:30,620 --> 02:26:35,600
we want adaptive riding from beginning, baked in, and if you talk to adaptive riders,

1459
02:26:36,360 --> 02:26:40,440
they really don't even want to be called adaptive riders. They just want to be considered riders,

1460
02:26:40,920 --> 02:26:45,760
right? And so I want to say it the way I say it so that we understand that everybody's included,

1461
02:26:45,940 --> 02:26:50,500
but really as we move forward, it's just going to be good design because that's what it is.

1462
02:26:50,940 --> 02:26:55,980
It's just good design. It's just good design will include that. Now, will there be things in the

1463
02:26:55,980 --> 02:27:00,100
park that they might not be able to ride? Sure, but there's things that a ski resort that I can't

1464
02:27:00,100 --> 02:27:02,220
right, either, right? So any, it could be,

1465
02:27:07,160 --> 02:27:10,060
this is a pretty straightforward, you know,

1466
02:27:10,140 --> 02:27:16,240
it was already included in the master plan. You helped us get it there. It was by far the most

1467
02:27:16,240 --> 02:27:24,260
popular item when the master plan was approved by a long shot. And the community continues to express

1468
02:27:24,260 --> 02:27:30,640
their excitement towards moving this forward. They're really looking forward to participating in it.

1469
02:27:32,820 --> 02:27:40,480
This addresses again that, you know, and I just really wanted to reiterate that it is designed for everyone.

1470
02:27:42,220 --> 02:27:46,720
So, you can start on a TA track and still be using this facility 20 years later.

1471
02:27:47,360 --> 02:27:55,980
And families, you know, I think I'm hearing a lot and I think most people are about the value of third spaces, right?

1472
02:27:56,200 --> 02:28:01,620
It's not where you work, it's not your home, maybe it's not your home and not your school.

1473
02:28:01,620 --> 02:28:06,360
but it's a third space, and it's also a third space that's not based around more screen time.

1474
02:28:06,840 --> 02:28:10,840
Our kids are going to video there absolutely, but can you ride a bike while you're looking at a

1475
02:28:10,840 --> 02:28:17,020
screen? Not so much. I mean, so I think the idea is that it's just not based around more screen time,

1476
02:28:17,120 --> 02:28:24,520
but a lot of times a third space is still a very heavily screen time based facility.

1477
02:28:25,940 --> 02:28:30,860
And it's also really a missing piece of infrastructure in Carson City. Again,

1478
02:28:30,860 --> 02:28:34,680
in South Lake Tahoe, Truckee Reno has a couple,

1479
02:28:35,240 --> 02:28:38,320
Sun Valley, but we don't have a bike parking in Carson City.

1480
02:28:41,560 --> 02:28:45,140
So this grand division, how does it get funded?

1481
02:28:47,640 --> 02:28:50,180
Obviously, this is a big lift for us,

1482
02:28:50,760 --> 02:28:52,300
and it is not something that we've done before.

1483
02:28:52,860 --> 02:28:55,380
And in most cases, I'll be honest with you,

1484
02:28:56,020 --> 02:28:58,000
bike parks get seed funding from cities.

1485
02:28:58,820 --> 02:29:00,380
It's, that is generally how it's done.

1486
02:29:00,900 --> 02:29:03,300
We have never asked for, and it's been our attention

1487
02:29:03,300 --> 02:29:07,580
and fully clear from the first day that we are not asking the city for any money.

1488
02:29:08,220 --> 02:29:11,700
Does that mean if it came, there came an opportunity down the road?

1489
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:17,000
Of course, but that is, it is not our intention to ever draw money from the city.

1490
02:29:17,640 --> 02:29:25,080
We would like partnerships on potential grant applications and areas where the city can help us move in those areas,

1491
02:29:25,360 --> 02:29:29,360
but no money for the city from the outset or ever for maintenance.

1492
02:29:29,360 --> 02:29:41,140
So we will raise the money for construction and maintenance from the beginning and no phase opens without a maintenance reserve for the bike park.

1493
02:29:41,800 --> 02:29:43,220
And that has been from day one.

1494
02:29:43,340 --> 02:29:47,640
We've never done anything on this park without that being part of the idea.

1495
02:29:53,000 --> 02:29:59,320
So really this continues to address that, but we are fully accountable.

1496
02:29:59,320 --> 02:29:59,800
and I think

1497
02:30:01,150 --> 02:30:17,710
It's really 29-year partnership with the city should hold some weight. We've earned it. We've made and held promises, and one awards based on that. And so I think it's fair to ask for a little bit. So,

1498
02:30:19,830 --> 02:30:32,010
again, some of this reiterates what we've been through, but I think what we've talked about, I think it's really true. You know, it's somewhere to go and it's a sport that rewards patients and progression challenges you.

1499
02:30:32,970 --> 02:30:41,130
It's a healthy option in our city, and it's very desired, and visitors that gets back

1500
02:30:41,130 --> 02:30:46,570
to what we were talking about, it really is a missing piece, and there was the second

1501
02:30:46,570 --> 02:30:51,230
gentleman on the CTA item talked about the bike race that used to be here, which was

1502
02:30:51,230 --> 02:30:51,870
the epic rides.

1503
02:30:52,570 --> 02:30:56,630
Now, I don't know in the circles you move in, but everybody I talk to misses that ride.

1504
02:30:56,630 --> 02:31:02,530
I mean, having downtown closed in front of the whole street with all the vendors and the music.

1505
02:31:02,690 --> 02:31:05,750
I mean, there was music every night for four nights, a couple of bands.

1506
02:31:06,250 --> 02:31:09,890
I mean, I just can't tell you how many people talk about that event.

1507
02:31:10,650 --> 02:31:13,790
And we're not going to do that necessarily, but

1508
02:31:13,790 --> 02:31:20,350
one of the main ways that the bike park will be sustainable is through programming, excuse me.

1509
02:31:20,790 --> 02:31:22,110
And programming means events.

1510
02:31:22,430 --> 02:31:25,050
It means workshops and clinics and events.

1511
02:31:25,050 --> 02:31:28,770
And if we're able to build this to the level that we're hoping to build it to,

1512
02:31:29,610 --> 02:31:33,890
as we get through a little further down the phases, we will have the kind of events

1513
02:31:33,890 --> 02:31:38,150
that will bring riders from all over the country to come ride Carson City.

1514
02:31:38,630 --> 02:31:40,130
So, heads and beds.

1515
02:31:42,850 --> 02:31:45,270
Next steps, design comes first.

1516
02:31:46,070 --> 02:31:48,270
And construction is funded and phased from there.

1517
02:31:48,970 --> 02:31:55,230
So again, this MOU with the city would open the door to us to be able to fundraise.

1518
02:31:55,710 --> 02:31:58,310
Nobody's going to give us any money until we have an agreement with the city.

1519
02:31:58,550 --> 02:32:04,430
It's nice to have a spot designated master plan, but show me some, show me, show me your, show me what we've got.

1520
02:32:05,550 --> 02:32:10,630
So obviously we'll do a lot of land, do diligence out there and make sure that this will work as part of the design process.

1521
02:32:11,870 --> 02:32:18,990
And the city will get numerous chances and be heavily involved as they have been for years now.

1522
02:32:18,990 --> 02:32:27,490
This is your three meet for me on this project and Jen and I have been working on this MLU now for nine months to get it in front of you in a way that made sense.

1523
02:32:30,430 --> 02:32:39,150
Once design and cost estimate exists, we'll come back to you for approval on that before we can fundraise for construction.

1524
02:32:43,300 --> 02:32:43,740
And

1525
02:32:46,170 --> 02:32:50,610
that's it. I'm happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thank you for your time.

1526
02:32:53,030 --> 02:32:59,290
I don't see any questions, so I'll just start with the comment because I think you're

1527
02:32:59,290 --> 02:33:05,490
very right when you say you're a proven track record, so it makes me a lot more comfortable

1528
02:33:05,490 --> 02:33:12,370
when you can look at an entity that delivers what they say, right?

1529
02:33:12,370 --> 02:33:35,630
So that's, again, makes me very comfortable about entering into an agreement of this sort, and I think it's one of the areas that the city enjoys the most is the park recreation and open space components that the community itself is very supportive.

1530
02:33:35,630 --> 02:33:40,090
I mean, I know we're one of those few that had a tax approved, right?

1531
02:33:40,270 --> 02:33:46,970
That's how much people care about quality of life and this certainly fits that component.

1532
02:33:47,350 --> 02:33:55,990
So I just a big shout out to muscle power for being able to even garner the volunteers

1533
02:33:55,990 --> 02:34:04,410
that are necessary because it's hard work to do that trail maintenance

1534
02:34:04,410 --> 02:34:12,510
and building them, and the name of your organization fits well as to the expectation, right?

1535
02:34:13,270 --> 02:34:22,870
So, I just want to give you a big shout out for wanting to help us create another wonderful space

1536
02:34:23,410 --> 02:34:27,710
for the residents and visitors, because like you said, we might as well.

1537
02:34:28,670 --> 02:34:35,970
I always want the residents to know it's primarily about you but there isn't any reason

1538
02:34:35,970 --> 02:34:41,930
that we shouldn't have, I don't know, bike races and tournaments and clinics and all

1539
02:34:41,930 --> 02:34:50,750
those other good things to host more tourism to come into town because that helps generate

1540
02:34:50,750 --> 02:34:57,090
sales tax which helps keep their taxes lower or let's us provide more services to the

1541
02:34:57,090 --> 02:34:59,890
residents, so just a...

1542
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:25,760
Thank you. And how much do you think it is that you'll have to raise? So that's a tricky question because we don't have a design yet. So I just I'm not. Just for the design phase, even, what are you looking to have to fundraise for that? I would hope that it would be and I hate saying these numbers out loud because I really don't know. But let's say that it's under $100,000.

1543
02:35:28,260 --> 02:35:44,860
And I really am guessing at this point because it depends are we designing from phase one only or are we designing it designing all the way to phase three with competition venues and stands like how far are we going with this.

1544
02:35:44,860 --> 02:35:49,620
do we just raise for phase one so that we can get it open and then there'd be another funding raise

1545
02:35:49,620 --> 02:35:55,860
at a point. And again, if you look at it, any phase we open would be completely usable.

1546
02:35:56,560 --> 02:36:00,700
That is from part of the design. So we don't open a phase that isn't usable.

1547
02:36:02,000 --> 02:36:12,000
I like the idea of designing the whole property to really be at least that this area is going to

1548
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:16,120
be reserved for, like you said, here's the competition section, here's the dot section.

1549
02:36:16,460 --> 02:36:21,840
Even if you don't have enough money to do, it's full design, but that it's already designated

1550
02:36:22,400 --> 02:36:26,960
to that area so that the whole property is planned well.

1551
02:36:27,520 --> 02:36:33,700
Like you said, that we're not going backwards going, oh no, we don't have a space for X, and

1552
02:36:33,700 --> 02:36:34,960
so we can't do it well.

1553
02:36:34,960 --> 02:36:45,060
So I really like the idea of at least having reserved sections or portions of the property and if you can design the whole thing

1554
02:36:46,260 --> 02:36:53,980
We'd be really really happy because that would be more money after a raise, but still it would be fantastic. Supervisor Shooti?

1555
02:36:55,200 --> 02:37:00,500
Well, I just want to applaud you and I know that you have been working on this for quite a while.

1556
02:37:00,500 --> 02:37:13,940
I love the inclusivity of this and in terms of all levels, all ages, and the idea that

1557
02:37:13,940 --> 02:37:20,880
this is a partnership in the best way, you know, and you brought up the master plan

1558
02:37:20,880 --> 02:37:24,380
and within our master plan, we do talk about partnerships.

1559
02:37:24,380 --> 02:37:31,040
and Muscle Powered has been an incredible partner to Carson City.

1560
02:37:31,580 --> 02:37:42,240
I think about the health impacts and you know we have had HHS here speaking and it's been like a year or two ago,

1561
02:37:42,300 --> 02:37:53,380
but really talking about the interrelationships of health and how each department has impacted by healthy behaviors

1562
02:37:53,380 --> 02:38:06,140
and this is like a healthy behavior for the community whether it's people actually writing or families going out and watching kids ride.

1563
02:38:06,760 --> 02:38:22,080
I think about the trail along Prison Hill and I run out there a lot and I see kids riding side by side and they're talking or I see families, groups of families out there.

1564
02:38:22,080 --> 02:38:27,660
And while a bike park is a little bit different, it still provides that opportunity.

1565
02:38:28,080 --> 02:38:34,120
And, you know, I have traveled to mammoth, North Star, Whistler, BAMF, throughout Colorado,

1566
02:38:34,650 --> 02:38:37,040
Park City, and I'm not even a good writer.

1567
02:38:37,800 --> 02:38:42,480
And yet it has just been such a fun event and a fun activity.

1568
02:38:42,480 --> 02:38:54,320
So thank you for the passion and the true muscle power of getting this started because you got a plant this seed, right?

1569
02:38:54,840 --> 02:38:57,480
And so you have my full support.

1570
02:39:00,750 --> 02:39:01,690
Supervisor, Jeremy.

1571
02:39:02,130 --> 02:39:03,170
Yeah, I'm not going to bullied her things.

1572
02:39:03,270 --> 02:39:05,790
I think Lisa said everything and you did to a muscle power.

1573
02:39:05,790 --> 02:39:11,070
It has been a good friend to the city and the citizens in this city.

1574
02:39:11,070 --> 02:39:27,290
and I can't think of a better organization to lead this charge and I know this MOU doesn't commit the city to funds but I'm hoping somewhere down the line we can find funds to help because I think it's critical and I think it fits right in the mission of what

1575
02:39:27,290 --> 02:39:33,450
But, you know, question 18 was designed for, and the master plane.

1576
02:39:33,690 --> 02:39:39,630
So, you know, we've been very lucky, knock on wood, with a simple moment in, you know,

1577
02:39:39,710 --> 02:39:39,930
who knows?

1578
02:39:40,210 --> 02:39:43,090
Who knows what we can help with going forward?

1579
02:39:43,210 --> 02:39:45,350
But thank you for taking the reins on this.

1580
02:39:46,150 --> 02:39:50,890
I'm very confident in the progress this can make with you guys there.

1581
02:39:53,410 --> 02:39:54,130
Supervisor White.

1582
02:39:54,670 --> 02:39:55,050
Thank you.

1583
02:39:55,050 --> 02:39:59,910
So, indeed muscle power has been, and I'm pretty

1584
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:29,380
Any certain will continue to be a great asset to this community. I do have some questions. As it's been stated today, you're not asking the city for any money. But on page 415, at the very end of 1.3, it says the city may have opportunities to provide other types of contributions. In the future, subject to available funding.

1585
02:40:29,380 --> 02:40:31,400
and applicable approvals.

1586
02:40:31,640 --> 02:40:41,120
So how does that sentence reconcile what the comments today that the city won't be providing

1587
02:40:41,120 --> 02:40:41,760
any funding?

1588
02:40:43,100 --> 02:40:49,020
I mean, we're looking at an MOU that talks about subject to available funding and applicable

1589
02:40:49,020 --> 02:40:50,060
approvals.

1590
02:40:54,080 --> 02:40:56,220
Dan, our breakfast is superintendent for the record.

1591
02:40:56,860 --> 02:40:58,840
And what page was that on?

1592
02:40:59,040 --> 02:40:59,220
You were?

1593
02:41:01,040 --> 02:41:06,880
415 looks like it's on the second page of the MOU and the headers on the bottom at the first.

1594
02:41:06,880 --> 02:41:09,860
Sorry, 1.3 correct, 1.3 is what you're referring to.

1595
02:41:12,100 --> 02:41:17,080
I think the intent, obviously we were very clear for the very beginning when we started

1596
02:41:17,080 --> 02:41:22,140
meeting with individuals years ago about this project that we would love to see at Bike

1597
02:41:22,140 --> 02:41:28,140
Park in Carson City, but we don't as a park department have the ability to, this is

1598
02:41:28,140 --> 02:41:32,620
of dedicating funds to it or especially the maintenance of it so that was always very clear.

1599
02:41:35,060 --> 02:41:43,200
And so as far as obviously we want to see this project succeed it will be an asset to

1600
02:41:43,200 --> 02:41:49,440
our department into the city as well so where we can assist whether funds become available

1601
02:41:49,440 --> 02:41:56,220
down the line through quality of life or through grants or other things or as it mentions

1602
02:41:56,220 --> 02:42:01,080
in kind, and definitely our staff are going to be involved, and it's going to take staff time,

1603
02:42:01,260 --> 02:42:05,340
because our project manager is going to be reviewing the plans, and we're going to be involved

1604
02:42:05,340 --> 02:42:12,600
in that process. So there's definitely going to be commitment on our end to see this succeed,

1605
02:42:12,920 --> 02:42:19,260
and we want to make sure it's successful so we can help in any way possible. But that the intent

1606
02:42:19,260 --> 02:42:24,120
of this MOUs to not have us contribute any funds at this time.

1607
02:42:25,140 --> 02:42:27,900
I'm just curious why that language is in there then.

1608
02:42:28,080 --> 02:42:34,360
I understand the in-kind contribution, but it very directly says subject to available

1609
02:42:34,360 --> 02:42:38,160
funding and applicable approvals, so why is it in there?

1610
02:42:39,880 --> 02:42:46,860
This is Todd Rees, deputy DA, supervisor White, the idea behind that was that if the city

1611
02:42:46,860 --> 02:42:53,740
We wanted to, it could contribute funds, but that there was no obligation to.

1612
02:42:55,020 --> 02:43:01,240
And that provision was there to kind of memorialize the understanding between the city and

1613
02:43:01,240 --> 02:43:10,180
muscle power that the city may desire to contribute funds in the future and that it could

1614
02:43:10,180 --> 02:43:10,520
do so.

1615
02:43:12,590 --> 02:43:23,650
on page 416 at 3.1, it says that this will be designed and constructed to IMBA guidelines.

1616
02:43:27,150 --> 02:43:33,530
My first question on that, when I looked at their website, what they

1617
02:43:37,400 --> 02:43:39,280
talk about, especially

1618
02:43:39,280 --> 02:43:45,440
like in the pump track, that appears to be, that is a hardscape.

1619
02:43:47,520 --> 02:43:55,920
We will be looking at it as part of the design process, but hardscape does last longer than dirt pump tracks.

1620
02:43:56,880 --> 02:44:06,160
So for maintenance concern, maintenance, long-term maintenance and sustainability, hardscape pump track would be optimal.

1621
02:44:06,400 --> 02:44:13,600
It does cost more from the beginning, like all good design and cost more at the beginning, but you have less maintenance on the other end.

1622
02:44:14,340 --> 02:44:18,560
Is that the only place in this facility you're looking at a hard scape?

1623
02:44:20,440 --> 02:44:34,060
That would be the main part of the actual bike park, but there would be supporting facilities that might end up being part of this as far as the parking areas and the restrooms and that kind of stuff.

1624
02:44:34,060 --> 02:44:40,420
But I do want to be honest that at the moment, that is the only place that we've talked

1625
02:44:40,420 --> 02:44:47,400
about having hard escape at the moment, but there might be areas like, we have to cross

1626
02:44:47,400 --> 02:44:52,060
the gas line, two gas lines that are out there, they've been in the deal since we went through

1627
02:44:52,060 --> 02:44:52,680
the master plane.

1628
02:44:52,880 --> 02:44:55,560
And it really limited us on what we can do out there.

1629
02:44:56,380 --> 02:44:59,960
You, you, how are we going to have to deal with Southwest gas and what?

1630
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:29,980
They're going to meet us to do to operate within their arena. I can't speak to that at this moment. So it says you could be constructing design and constructing this to the IMBA guidelines. I'm just curious the logistics of who's the arbitrator to say that the design does meet these guidelines. I'm pretty sure our planning department is not up to speed on that. So how do we make sure?

1631
02:45:29,980 --> 02:45:36,280
that our planning department inspections and stuff actually follow through on what

1632
02:45:36,280 --> 02:45:37,580
these guidelines are going to be?

1633
02:45:40,540 --> 02:45:41,700
Dan Arb for the record.

1634
02:45:43,900 --> 02:45:50,340
We do have a trails coordinator who is very familiar with those guidelines as well and

1635
02:45:50,340 --> 02:45:54,560
then obviously a parts planner who's probably not as familiar with those but will be able

1636
02:45:54,560 --> 02:45:55,780
to work with our trails coordinator.

1637
02:45:56,100 --> 02:46:00,180
So we're going to be reviewing all the plans and then making sure that obviously whatever

1638
02:46:00,180 --> 02:46:04,560
whatever is designed is safe and it meets the criteria.

1639
02:46:06,640 --> 02:46:16,080
Also on page 416, it talks about writing an agreement with a future operator.

1640
02:46:16,340 --> 02:46:20,720
Do you have any expectation who that future operator might be?

1641
02:46:23,310 --> 02:46:33,110
We are currently discussing the potential of an operator with another non-profit that

1642
02:46:33,110 --> 02:46:54,250
specializes in bike parks, I wouldn't want to, I don't think it would be appropriate for me to name them at this point, they are highly regarded in the industry, one of the industry leaders, and we would be extremely fortunate if we got them, and it would make our fundraising a lot easier.

1643
02:46:54,250 --> 02:46:59,790
So, I can just tell you, they're one of the leaders in the industry, they're one of the

1644
02:46:59,790 --> 02:47:00,350
most respected.

1645
02:47:00,930 --> 02:47:06,690
I can't, they wanted to make sure we get this memo of understanding into place, and then

1646
02:47:06,690 --> 02:47:10,230
we get all our stuff going, and then we fundraise, and then we can start talking about a partnership,

1647
02:47:10,430 --> 02:47:14,110
but we don't have anything written between us at this moment.

1648
02:47:16,030 --> 02:47:35,930
This property in the staff report with the blue lines around it, APN00801156, is that property in the open space inventory?

1649
02:47:38,650 --> 02:47:54,150
Dan, for the record, yes, it started to tell on this map kind of the topography, but basically from the top of the road heritage way there up until you get to the top of the hill.

1650
02:47:54,370 --> 02:48:00,030
There's some power lines and stuff up there, but that slope is all part of Centennial Park.

1651
02:48:00,690 --> 02:48:02,650
And that's mostly what's being encompassed in this area.

1652
02:48:02,650 --> 02:48:06,470
and what we've designated as we have kind of a,

1653
02:48:06,490 --> 02:48:08,290
if you look at the master plan, a smaller area

1654
02:48:08,290 --> 02:48:12,090
for the more immediate bike park plan,

1655
02:48:12,150 --> 02:48:14,230
but then we identified that slope going up

1656
02:48:14,620 --> 02:48:15,870
to the top of our property line

1657
02:48:15,870 --> 02:48:18,090
as potential areas for the bike park to grow.

1658
02:48:21,620 --> 02:48:22,540
So essentially,

1659
02:48:24,840 --> 02:48:26,680
I guess the question is,

1660
02:48:27,360 --> 02:48:33,220
are you proposing that portions of the bike park

1661
02:48:33,220 --> 02:48:36,380
We'll be on open space inventory.

1662
02:48:42,830 --> 02:48:53,130
The thing about what we're proposing is, yeah, potentially within that, what we've identified on the master plan, which includes that area identified on the map here.

1663
02:48:54,050 --> 02:48:54,890
Thank you.

1664
02:48:56,310 --> 02:48:57,290
Supervisor Horton.

1665
02:48:59,190 --> 02:49:03,050
I just wanted to comment on your concern for the adaptive rider.

1666
02:49:03,350 --> 02:49:04,250
I really appreciate that.

1667
02:49:04,350 --> 02:49:08,530
I think that's critically important and you guys do a great job with it and I applaud

1668
02:49:08,530 --> 02:49:09,090
you for that.

1669
02:49:11,900 --> 02:49:12,180
Okay.

1670
02:49:12,540 --> 02:49:18,220
I'm going to, so this is an action item, is there any public comment on this item?

1671
02:49:18,620 --> 02:49:18,900
Come on up.

1672
02:49:23,040 --> 02:49:23,580
Good morning.

1673
02:49:23,780 --> 02:49:25,120
My name is Christine Sylvester.

1674
02:49:25,540 --> 02:49:30,900
I'm a lifelong resident of Carson City, a professional engineer and a mother of three girls.

1675
02:49:30,900 --> 02:49:41,080
We love to recreate within Carson City and participate in our local Senator Cycling Club,

1676
02:49:41,700 --> 02:49:50,580
and we travel to these other regional bike parks as well as those that are not so close.

1677
02:49:51,460 --> 02:49:58,940
We would love to have a facility of this type within our community and would use it regularly.

1678
02:49:58,940 --> 02:49:59,760
And.

1679
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:17,720
So, I am making my public comment that we support approval of this memorandum of understanding. Thank you. Thank you. Do I have additional public comment? Okay. He loves to go last, so it's okay. I won.

1680
02:50:24,430 --> 02:50:27,030
You're green. Oh, you turned up. There you go.

1681
02:50:29,460 --> 02:50:36,520
I forgot. I haven't seen one. I think I know a lot of you, Stephanie. I'm one.

1682
02:50:36,520 --> 02:50:41,980
in the past many years ago, I used to be the first manager of the open space program,

1683
02:50:42,400 --> 02:50:50,400
and I used to also work as a city planner. I am very much in favor of these MOU,

1684
02:50:50,940 --> 02:50:56,160
and I thank the board for positive consideration on the third degree by Maurice,

1685
02:50:56,720 --> 02:51:02,500
which is nothing new. It reminds me of the time I was here bringing a proposal.

1686
02:51:02,500 --> 02:51:10,720
So I appreciate that, and I think all your answers were answered correctly.

1687
02:51:11,340 --> 02:51:20,580
I distinctly remember that that piece came as part of an interchange of land with the

1688
02:51:20,580 --> 02:51:27,520
beauty of land management, I was called the Carson City Landspeel, and it was designated

1689
02:51:27,520 --> 02:51:37,660
here for open space and parks from the beginning. There was a BLM also subjected the piece to some

1690
02:51:37,660 --> 02:51:44,480
kind of requirement. If we ever do something else with it, we lose it. The effects will take

1691
02:51:44,480 --> 02:51:50,960
it back. That's my recollection. And just like the bottom is beginning to get fade, so I don't have

1692
02:51:50,960 --> 02:51:58,900
anything else to add other than personally, it is very important to have this kind of facilities

1693
02:51:58,900 --> 02:52:05,780
like you all mentioned in our communities. Not too long ago, I have my three kids visiting my

1694
02:52:05,780 --> 02:52:13,820
three grandkids visiting from Seattle. And we went to like Tahoe on the way to go voting, but with

1695
02:52:14,420 --> 02:52:20,000
big mistake. We stopped at the bike park and that was it. That was the rest of the day. No voting.

1696
02:52:21,220 --> 02:52:26,780
which is my passion. So I just swallow my pride and, you know, just like what other needs.

1697
02:52:27,500 --> 02:52:32,420
And one of the things I mentioned to them is they asked me, well, papa, is there one

1698
02:52:32,420 --> 02:52:37,340
in Garbilla? I said, no, there's not one in Garbilla. There's a place where you can

1699
02:52:37,340 --> 02:52:46,500
drive your skateboard and do things in a hard track, but it's not a pump track. And it's

1700
02:52:46,500 --> 02:52:49,580
as well, is there one in Carson City where you used to work?

1701
02:52:49,960 --> 02:52:52,580
So they hit, you know, the bottom.

1702
02:52:53,320 --> 02:52:56,600
And I say, not yet, but we have been working on it.

1703
02:52:56,880 --> 02:52:59,600
We have been working on it for about 10 years

1704
02:52:59,600 --> 02:53:00,400
that I remember.

1705
02:53:01,060 --> 02:53:04,280
And before I die, we're going to try to get it done.

1706
02:53:04,680 --> 02:53:06,400
So thank you very much for your consideration.

1707
02:53:06,940 --> 02:53:07,480
Thank you, Juan.

1708
02:53:07,920 --> 02:53:11,600
Good to see you again, Mr. French.

1709
02:53:12,120 --> 02:53:14,260
Watch out, Star Festival, before you sit down.

1710
02:53:14,600 --> 02:53:14,800
Yes.

1711
02:53:17,040 --> 02:53:17,540
Thank

1712
02:53:21,030 --> 02:53:27,730
you, I'm not up on the starfish, yeah, the starfish, this one.

1713
02:53:28,030 --> 02:53:33,470
Thank you, Danny French, Carson City and Mayor, please don't suggest because I do not like coming up last.

1714
02:53:33,710 --> 02:53:38,450
I have to propose myself and base my statements on the prior statements.

1715
02:53:38,950 --> 02:53:43,990
Easily say, diddo instead of having to start my run when they're going to do the same.

1716
02:53:43,990 --> 02:53:48,490
So, I'd appreciate if you just consider not suggesting that.

1717
02:53:48,970 --> 02:53:50,110
I'm waiting.

1718
02:53:51,570 --> 02:54:03,370
But I also want to just say how much I appreciated Mr. Jordan's response to my questions were similar in the way as supervisors white.

1719
02:54:04,050 --> 02:54:10,570
They followed the same suit without the consideration, the compactiveness of different areas I didn't consider that part.

1720
02:54:10,570 --> 02:54:16,850
thank you for adding that to my considerations, but the gentleman that came to speak to me when

1721
02:54:16,850 --> 02:54:24,750
I had the questions shared with me, enough that I feel confident with every effort in his body,

1722
02:54:24,750 --> 02:54:30,070
he will try to make this right, but I do feel the wording should be right. And I think some of those

1723
02:54:30,070 --> 02:54:36,690
other things that were brought up should be maybe addressed, but I'd love the idea of having

1724
02:54:36,690 --> 02:54:41,950
those families out there I am concerned because it's open space and that I love it don't stay natural.

1725
02:54:42,390 --> 02:54:47,550
But it's a perfect place for a family to get where there's already facilities and that perhaps

1726
02:54:47,550 --> 02:54:51,470
you can indulge into the use of some of those as well. Thank you very much.

1727
02:54:52,290 --> 02:54:53,130
Thank you.

1728
02:54:55,390 --> 02:54:55,950
Thank you.

1729
02:54:55,950 --> 02:54:56,250
Thank you.

1730
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:05,840
Hi, everyone. Stella Thornton for the record. Pass Carson, hi, graduate. And you, you and our political

1731
02:55:05,840 --> 02:55:12,120
science student, senior to this year, which is actually crazy. But I just wanted to come up here

1732
02:55:12,120 --> 02:55:18,280
in support of the bike park. I happened to look at the table over there to see all of the public

1733
02:55:18,280 --> 02:55:24,600
comments that came in submitted for this meeting for the bike park, which is pretty amazing because

1734
02:55:24,600 --> 02:55:27,820
throughout this entire process, it has been a long one.

1735
02:55:28,580 --> 02:55:32,240
And I know you all being up here are definitely familiar with the long processes,

1736
02:55:32,560 --> 02:55:34,000
but not every citizen is.

1737
02:55:34,600 --> 02:55:38,720
And those can take a long time and people can get frustrated.

1738
02:55:39,160 --> 02:55:44,480
It can be, you know, people drop off from actually being able to participate

1739
02:55:44,480 --> 02:55:46,100
because they're like, oh, it just takes so long, right?

1740
02:55:46,240 --> 02:55:48,060
When is it ever going to happen, all those kinds of things.

1741
02:55:48,060 --> 02:55:57,080
So, I want to give a shout out to every citizen in Carson City and everyone who has continued

1742
02:55:57,080 --> 02:56:01,840
to be a part of this process because it has been a long one, and the fact that there

1743
02:56:01,840 --> 02:56:06,780
are this many people still paying attention, still sending in comments, still wanting to

1744
02:56:06,780 --> 02:56:11,200
be a part of this process, even though it's been ten years, right, more than that.

1745
02:56:11,980 --> 02:56:14,640
I just want to put that forward as something to consider.

1746
02:56:14,640 --> 02:56:24,180
And then I also want to put forward on a personal note how much effort my dad has put into this daily.

1747
02:56:24,720 --> 02:56:32,840
Like he loses sleep over trying to make sure that this is something for every citizen in Carson City and everyone to come here to enjoy.

1748
02:56:34,100 --> 02:56:40,920
And that our open spaces are used in a constructive way that not only helps the environment but helps the people who are living in it.

1749
02:56:40,920 --> 02:56:47,420
And so the effort that it has taken, not only from him, but from the people in the city,

1750
02:56:48,040 --> 02:56:53,580
from people like around the country that he has talked to in the IMBA and he has like

1751
02:56:53,580 --> 02:56:58,380
reached out and gone to places and tried to learn and trying to make sure that every good

1752
02:56:58,380 --> 02:57:04,220
part of every single park that we have in the world is going to be part of this.

1753
02:57:05,020 --> 02:57:09,280
And so you know all the concerns are absolutely valid and I also just want to put out there

1754
02:57:09,280 --> 02:57:14,840
that like, you know, isn't daily if not hourly thing that everyone in this process has

1755
02:57:14,840 --> 02:57:18,560
thought about trying to put forward to make sure that it works for Carson City and for what

1756
02:57:18,560 --> 02:57:25,920
we want the city to be. So thank you. That was wonderful. Hey, do I have any answer?

1757
02:57:26,820 --> 02:57:32,580
Am I available to make? I got some clarification on Supervisor White's question. Okay. I got a text

1758
02:57:32,580 --> 02:57:37,460
from our trails coordinator. Just want to clarify that actually Centennial. All Centennial is with

1759
02:57:37,460 --> 02:57:38,620
with the Sports Complex and City Park,

1760
02:57:39,360 --> 02:57:40,880
so it's not actually open space.

1761
02:57:41,580 --> 02:57:43,240
So the boundaries in which we have identified

1762
02:57:43,240 --> 02:57:46,020
are within our park boundaries, but we won't be used,

1763
02:57:46,180 --> 02:57:48,000
but none of that is open space property.

1764
02:57:49,560 --> 02:57:51,420
Thank you for that.

1765
02:57:52,040 --> 02:57:54,580
Okay, I don't see any other public comment

1766
02:57:54,580 --> 02:57:58,100
and Mr. French, it was not meant to be derogatory,

1767
02:57:58,280 --> 02:57:59,800
but it is a true statement.

1768
02:58:00,340 --> 02:58:03,520
You set it in your own statement a moment ago

1769
02:58:03,520 --> 02:58:09,740
that you want to respond on other public comment. So you do want to go towards the end.

1770
02:58:09,940 --> 02:58:14,080
So it wasn't meant derogatory, though. So if you took it that way, I apologize.

1771
02:58:16,080 --> 02:58:22,220
So I'll bring it back up here then. Supervisor Shuddy, did you want to make a motion?

1772
02:58:22,260 --> 02:58:27,620
I would love to make this motion. I happily moved to approve the MOUS presented.

1773
02:58:29,220 --> 02:58:31,560
I have a motion in several seconds.

1774
02:58:32,620 --> 02:58:35,060
All those in favor, please say aye.

1775
02:58:35,400 --> 02:58:35,820
Aye.

1776
02:58:36,160 --> 02:58:36,600
Any opposed?

1777
02:58:36,900 --> 02:58:37,300
Say no.

1778
02:58:37,540 --> 02:58:40,580
Let the record reflect it was unanimous.

1779
02:58:41,140 --> 02:58:45,480
We're now on to agenda item 21, which is our non-action items.

1780
02:58:45,900 --> 02:58:48,240
Does any member of the board have anything to share?

1781
02:58:50,400 --> 02:58:51,000
Supervisor White?

1782
02:58:51,260 --> 02:58:51,840
Is that the idea?

1783
02:58:52,200 --> 02:58:52,740
I heard.

1784
02:58:52,740 --> 02:59:02,600
I don't want this to be taken as a self-promotion, but I want to let the community know that when you see a helicopter flying around

1785
02:59:03,540 --> 02:59:11,820
the Nevada State prison over the next few days, just ignore it, we're playing some games out there and having some exercises

1786
02:59:11,820 --> 02:59:13,160
there's nothing to worry about.

1787
02:59:13,460 --> 02:59:15,480
Don't call the Sheriff's Office, please.

1788
02:59:19,760 --> 02:59:30,440
Let's see what do we have that might be of interest, I think, talked about most of these

1789
02:59:30,440 --> 02:59:35,640
events, including the one that Supervisor White just mentioned, the Rock-A-Lock-A-Bang-Bang.

1790
02:59:35,740 --> 02:59:40,540
I don't know how many people ended up coming out for that, but I think they were in the neighborhood

1791
02:59:40,540 --> 02:59:45,220
of thinking of 50 to 75 or something like that, I don't know where they ended up but

1792
02:59:48,050 --> 02:59:52,850
Mike's not on. Okay, yeah it was good so 300 room nights is what they're anticipating

1793
02:59:52,850 --> 02:59:59,010
and it's a well done event, it's a well done event. People who come to that are I think safe

1794
02:59:59,010 --> 02:59:59,750
to say dedicated.

1795
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:08,720
We're coming to it regularly. Yeah, that's really turning into quite the money maker.

1796
03:00:10,780 --> 03:00:15,820
The speaking of bikes, they're all left now, but the capital city crusher is an event that

1797
03:00:15,820 --> 03:00:24,620
is part of the Nevada inter-scholastic cycling event, and they have a mountain bike race

1798
03:00:24,620 --> 03:00:29,100
It starts up around the college, about 400 participants.

1799
03:00:29,500 --> 03:00:32,340
That is also coming up this weekend, so it's a busy weekend.

1800
03:00:34,260 --> 03:00:38,960
Centennial Park, the new fields are getting a lot of attention,

1801
03:00:39,340 --> 03:00:43,620
a lot of attention, and it's drawing a lot of events.

1802
03:00:44,860 --> 03:00:49,320
There's the Masters World Series event coming up the last weekend of this month.

1803
03:00:49,420 --> 03:00:53,480
That's by Masters, they mean Old Folk, you know, what that's what it means.

1804
03:00:54,400 --> 03:01:01,960
So I guess we're all masters, I guess we're all masters, yeah, they have a 70 and over group and this is fast pitch softball.

1805
03:01:03,120 --> 03:01:11,180
It's interesting. Yeah, yeah, 70 and over. Well, maybe fast pitch for 70 and over is, you know, 20 miles an hour. No, I don't know.

1806
03:01:11,180 --> 03:01:15,220
Well, they might, I don't know.

1807
03:01:15,640 --> 03:01:21,360
And of course, the bananas, the Kennel clubs, the end of the month, the Broncos celebrations

1808
03:01:21,360 --> 03:01:27,180
coming up in October, the canine challenges are October 3rd, first weekend in October.

1809
03:01:28,420 --> 03:01:38,360
Anyway, like going on, we heard about the murals and music last of the series of that.

1810
03:01:39,320 --> 03:01:46,780
And the Carson Water Subconservancy is doing a two-day watershed tour called Get On The Bus Tour.

1811
03:01:48,120 --> 03:01:59,140
That's October 27 and 28. There are still seats available. It's a couple of hundred bucks, I think, two and a quarter for early bird pricing.

1812
03:02:01,460 --> 03:02:07,640
But it's fun of it. It takes over two days. It takes you all the way through the watershed with experts on board,

1813
03:02:07,640 --> 03:02:15,560
starting from Alpine County all the way out to Fallon and it's a really good event if you want

1814
03:02:15,560 --> 03:02:19,840
to learn about the watershed you pick up a lot of history. And speaking of history last night,

1815
03:02:19,960 --> 03:02:25,600
we had a presentation from the Federal Water Master, the Deputy Federal Water Master on the Alpine

1816
03:02:25,600 --> 03:02:33,540
Decree. If you ever want to read an interesting story about a water law, it's a pretty interesting

1817
03:02:33,540 --> 03:02:39,420
components. There's a lot of technical information in there, but it's kind of a fascinating

1818
03:02:39,420 --> 03:02:44,700
decree that was what 50 plus years in the making from the time the original suit was filed

1819
03:02:44,700 --> 03:02:46,820
until it was actually adjudicated.

1820
03:02:47,720 --> 03:02:53,560
You're going to give a brief synopsis of the Alpine decree?

1821
03:02:54,340 --> 03:02:56,600
There's no brief in that decree.

1822
03:02:59,320 --> 03:03:05,500
It's a fascinating depiction of depictions wrong word.

1823
03:03:05,760 --> 03:03:11,140
It was a fascinating decree, probably whether the loss it was filed in 1925,

1824
03:03:12,000 --> 03:03:15,620
and it was finally adjudicated in 1980.

1825
03:03:15,920 --> 03:03:20,100
So the lawsuit percolated, I'll use a water term, for 55 years.

1826
03:03:20,100 --> 03:03:28,320
And the federal water master and the U.S. District Court still maintain some control over decisions that are made in there.

1827
03:03:28,940 --> 03:03:31,360
So, technically, it's never really left court.

1828
03:03:32,820 --> 03:03:46,660
And it's pretty interesting. I mean, it essentially divides the river into eight segments between these four in the west four and the segments are all managed independently.

1829
03:03:46,660 --> 03:03:49,380
but there's still some interaction between them.

1830
03:03:49,600 --> 03:03:58,520
So it really is, and I will tell you that the early Carson City people in Kirk can probably speak to this better than I.

1831
03:03:59,220 --> 03:04:13,580
But the early folks that we had in the city, in the water world, positioned this city very well for the use of water rights that the city owns and or has acquired.

1832
03:04:14,360 --> 03:04:42,860
and the way that they're used because it's all based on seniority in terms of when you when you have a senior right which is an earlier right versus a junior right and how those rights are exercised even to this day the city has that knowledge of the Alpine decree to work it correctly and take advantage of all the water that is legally available to us and our citizens and it's it's it was an impressive amount of work for the people who worked on that you know all those years ago.

1833
03:04:42,860 --> 03:04:46,490
So that's it.

1834
03:04:47,370 --> 03:04:53,570
Well, speaking of water and things to do, additionally, this weekend is the Cassie

1835
03:04:53,570 --> 03:04:59,830
Pooch plunge, the outdoor pool from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

1836
03:05:00,000 --> 03:05:29,680
9-10, just little dogs, and then 10-3 all sizes. But it is a really fun and ridiculous day, and proceeds benefits, pay, and neuter vouchers. So good. Pardon? The big dogs. Yes. So this Saturday. And a huge thank you to the outdoor pool in our aquatic center. It's a yearly event.

1837
03:05:29,680 --> 03:05:51,880
and it is great. It closes. I mean, the other side is good to say. Oh, yeah, so and this is the last day that the pool is open the outdoor pool. And so after the dogs strained have their fun. Yes, it is drained, scrubbed and sanitized.

1838
03:05:51,880 --> 03:06:01,420
So I think that's just, it's a great event that you can put on and do something one extra day to do the value for that.

1839
03:06:01,920 --> 03:06:09,640
And then it goes into its annual maintenance of the outdoor pool or whatever, but anyway, just thought I mentioned that.

1840
03:06:09,820 --> 03:06:11,420
It's not open the next day.

1841
03:06:11,540 --> 03:06:13,500
Thank you for mentioning that.

1842
03:06:13,780 --> 03:06:14,020
Absolutely.

1843
03:06:14,020 --> 03:06:24,640
Okay. I don't see any other business. Anything? Okay. Any final public comments ready to go.

1844
03:06:27,140 --> 03:06:27,900
Thank you, Mayor.

1845
03:06:29,260 --> 03:06:40,580
First off, I'd like to say that I was very happy to be able to be part of the get on the bus outing early in my stay in Carson and then later on as I had been here for a while.

1846
03:06:40,580 --> 03:06:52,600
It was amazing. The people aboard while they're learning are also instructing. So the conversations and such that occurred during that were very, very educating but just really, very pleasant.

1847
03:06:53,140 --> 03:07:06,920
The next is a puppy plunge. If you're a photographer and you love animals and you want to get great shots, that's a great place to be in its front and the interactions between families with their critters is great.

1848
03:07:06,920 --> 03:07:13,860
I do want to bring up clear creek, the water issue I'm concerned about is that their neighboring log

1849
03:07:14,900 --> 03:07:16,620
storage area is

1850
03:07:16,620 --> 03:07:22,920
possible pollutant and that there's I don't have an clear understanding that a

1851
03:07:24,360 --> 03:07:24,920
environmental

1852
03:07:26,860 --> 03:07:28,900
impact statement. Thank you very much

1853
03:07:29,860 --> 03:07:36,860
My body is wobbling and my brain is about done for the day, but I appreciate that and the fact that I'd rather not have made the

1854
03:07:36,860 --> 03:07:41,000
final statement, but I do appreciate that it wasn't meant with malice, but I just

1855
03:07:41,000 --> 03:07:45,280
just don't want you to mention it again. Thank you very much. Have a good day.

1856
03:07:46,260 --> 03:07:51,260
Okay, there's no other public for public comment. So if no one has anything

1857
03:07:51,260 --> 03:07:56,500
further, we are adjourned and everybody have a good weekend.
