1
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:12,760
Good evening everyone and welcome to the November 7th, regular city council meeting for the city of Santaneo, Colorado, missettano, please call the roll.

2
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:40,760
It's not a black list of 10 million states in America, and it's either a Greek public, or

3
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,560
a racist, or a nation, or a radical, and a liberal, or a liberal, or a liberal, or

4
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:46,980
a liberal, or a liberal.

5
00:00:49,780 --> 00:00:50,520
Thank you.

6
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,940
We'll go ahead and go into the public comment portion of our evening, the public comment section.

7
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,120
Now, if there's an opportunity for any citizen to express opinions or ask questions regarding

8
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,600
city services, policies, or other matters of community concern, and any agenda items that

9
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,300
are not part of a scheduled public hearing.

10
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:10,260
Citizens will have three minutes for comments if they are speaking as an individual or

11
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:13,900
five minutes if they are speaking on behalf of an organization or group.

12
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:17,560
These time limits were established to provide efficiency in the conduct of our meeting, and

13
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,760
to allow equal opportunity for everyone wishing to speak.

14
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640
An immediate response should not be expected as issues are typically referred to city staff

15
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,720
for follow-up or research and then are reported back to council or the individual who

16
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,060
initiated the comment or inquiry.

17
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,380
We do have an individual signed up for public comment and we do have one public comment

18
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:36,360
that is online.

19
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,460
So with that, I'll ask Mr. Bennett Rutledge to come up and address this?

20
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,300
Good evening.

21
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,660
I'm Bennett Rutledge, 4264 East Maplewood Way.

22
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,660
And I'm here this evening to mark a year

23
00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:59,180
since you last returned to the chair,

24
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,620
which you sit, the election that returned you.

25
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,580
And I have been doing what I can.

26
00:02:07,580 --> 00:02:12,500
I've been getting some feedback that some people are listening and I will be continuing

27
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:18,780
to serve as the loyal opposition, as best I can.

28
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:25,200
As for the rest of the topics tonight, I would simply like to ask the question, yes,

29
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,160
this is a wonderful thing to do, but as it wonderful enough to justify sending people with

30
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,200
guns around to ensure that it is fully funded.

31
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,220
And don't kid yourselves just because the county officials are the ones doing the heavy lifting

32
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:45,040
with the tax gathering.

33
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:52,540
The governments do not have to take into account any protections

34
00:02:52,540 --> 00:03:02,100
provided by bankruptcy proceedings or any other. Ultimately, it is people with guns throwing

35
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:08,580
people out of their homes into the street for, for example, not getting their property taxes in.

36
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:15,470
So please consider that when you go spending money from the public coffers. Thank you.

37
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:20,800
Thank you very much. And with that, we will switch over to, well, actually I'll ask

38
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,880
you to send a mail from the audience who wishes to address this at this time. And public comment,

39
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,040
right. So then we'll go ahead and move on to our audio file.

40
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,720
Game of Tickets, 695-8 South Nose Way,

41
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:49,500
Will the Housing Study identify areas of reasonably priced housing areas that could be vulnerable to gentrification?

42
00:03:50,620 --> 00:03:56,480
University Boulevard is lined with townholds and condos, a scarce commodity in Centennial.

43
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:04,680
Gwen Oaks, South Gwen Commons, you know, chair-rich condos, are all selling in the $300,000

44
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:12,520
range this summer. Those are those are condos. There's also a lot of town homes. The town

45
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:20,460
homes in my area were selling for about $450,000 this summer. So a university quarter and

46
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:28,360
only provides a diversity of housing types but also economic diversity. What happens when

47
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:36,060
Southland redevelopes? They say that prices in the surrounding area usually go up. The city's

48
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:42,560
Southland website says that, and I believe this means that housing prices will increase beyond

49
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:50,380
inflation. Inflated housing prices are great if you're an investor but if you live on a fixed income

50
00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:59,940
or have a lower-paying job, it's not good at all. Property values go up, property taxes and homeowners insurance all goes up.

51
00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:07,760
And I know that the median income in Centennial is quite high at around $120,000 a year.

52
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,960
But I very much doubt that most of the people living on the University Boulevard make anything near that.

53
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,440
We thought we had a corridor with some of the most reasonably priced housing in the city.

54
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:28,620
Probably a total of over a thousand condos and town homes, many selling for less than $500,000,

55
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,420
and a good number selling for less than $400,000.

56
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:40,980
I know the city is not setting policy right now, but depending on the policy that set in the future,

57
00:05:40,980 --> 00:05:46,020
It seems like we can end up with a corridor of extensive housing.

58
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,960
Depending on what you allow to be built,

59
00:05:49,540 --> 00:05:52,960
we can move more lower cost housing than we can.

60
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,220
Shouldn't the housing study identify areas

61
00:05:57,220 --> 00:06:02,040
existing areas of lower cost or reasonably priced housing?

62
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:07,680
It seems like you need to know this in order to be in order to go forward

63
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,820
and develop good policy.

64
00:06:09,820 --> 00:06:16,240
it just seems like this is something to be very mindful of. Thank you for your consideration.

65
00:06:20,330 --> 00:06:24,730
With that, we'll close the public comment portion of our evening. We do not have scheduled presentations

66
00:06:24,730 --> 00:06:31,750
or any promotions appointments, so we'll go on to the consent agenda, Ms. Salem. Take a deep breath.

67
00:06:31,970 --> 00:06:32,290
Are you ready?

68
00:06:32,290 --> 00:06:33,110
Thank you.

69
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:33,290
Please.

70
00:06:33,850 --> 00:06:39,910

and authorizing the city manager to execute documents relating there too.

87
00:08:04,470 --> 00:08:10,070
consideration of other items are the minutes of the regular meeting of October 17, 2022.

88
00:08:11,330 --> 00:08:16,290
Mayor Perchum, she can. Mayor, I move approval of the consent agenda as red into the record.

89
00:08:18,050 --> 00:08:21,570
Second. Ons member seven and seconds, please vote.

90
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,160

91
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:30,100
the motion carries. Here again. Thank you very much. All right. When we've onto the discussion

92
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,760
agenda, we do have a number of public hearings this evening. I'll start out with

93
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,600
consideration of ordinances, and we have a public hearing for ordinance number 222-odash-25.

94
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:41,540
Ms. Settled, let me please read it into the record.

95
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,480
For instance, number 222-odash-25 in ordinance of the City Council,

96
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:49,760
the City of Centennial Colorado, a many in Article 8 of chapter 11 of the Centennial

Municipal Code, and adopting by reference to 2022 version of the

98
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,060
City of Centennial Roadway Design and Construction Standards Manual.

99
00:08:58,340 --> 00:09:00,420
Mr. Dividut with us again this evening,

100
00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:05,620
Disgusting roadway designing construction. We've had these presentations in the past, so it would be a nice review. Thank you very much.

101
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:06,360
Thank you.

102
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:14,860
Thank you, Mayor. Good evening. Good evening, council. Again, my name is Anthony or Antevita. I'm your public works program manager with us tonight.

103
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:17,600
His director, Mr. Jeff Tankingbring.

104
00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:22,640
And we bring to you, ordinance 222025,

105
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:29,220
I'm mending the municipal code and adapting by reference the 2022 version of the city's roadway design and

106
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:34,300
Construction standards manual moving forward. I'll just be referencing it as the manual

107
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,980
We last met on September 6th. There was a Tuesday night study session

108
00:09:38,980 --> 00:09:42,220
And I'll give you a brief overview of what we talked about that night

109
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,360
The manual was adapted in 2016 after Centennial utilized Rapo County's

110
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:49,900
Standards

111
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:56,140
Our manual has three written parts, policy design, construction and inspection, with a final

112
00:09:56,140 --> 00:10:01,780
appendix of standard details, which are those technical drawings, technical engineering

113
00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:02,620
drawings.

114
00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:12,580
The purpose of this manual is it's really a tool for staff to discuss with developers, contractors,

115
00:10:12,580 --> 00:10:19,600
engineers and really formalized and tenial principles in a horizontal site construction

116
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,300
passion

117
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,760
and the main purpose of this evening is discussing the updates that staff

118
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,820
is recommending for the manual. As discussed on September 6th, we brought forward

119
00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:37,720
many editorial changes. Some were also identified through Council Council Member

120
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:44,220
Sweetland had identified the change between the word accident and crash and thanks

121
00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:47,580
to Mr. Price, we understood slightly better.

122
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,680
The implication behind that change and what that really means.

123
00:10:51,340 --> 00:10:53,560
Additionally, Council Member Mower, who's not here tonight,

124
00:10:54,260 --> 00:10:58,000
also identified some updates and changes, some editorial,

125
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,460
one that we spoke about on September 6th,

126
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,740
was better strategizing how to implement handrails

127
00:11:06,740 --> 00:11:09,520
and the importance of that for our Centennial community.

128
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:20,880
just to identify driveway widths and sort of the maybe narrow width that's defined in the land development code.

129
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:27,580
Public work staff plans on discussing with planning staff that update for the LDC,

130
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,960
or rather how those documents both coordinate with each other.

131
00:11:33,690 --> 00:11:39,570
In our manual update, we've also recommended administrative authority for the public work director

132
00:11:39,570 --> 00:11:50,710
to update those technical standard details, and again, the main purpose of that is to update

133
00:11:50,710 --> 00:12:01,310
and have the director as our PE engineer provide any updates as needed engineering wise.

134
00:12:02,010 --> 00:12:08,810
But if there were any revisions that needed to come forth the council and the financial

135
00:12:08,810 --> 00:12:13,430
applications from updating these standards, staff plans on addressing those and

136
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:16,250
bring them up with Council prior to implementing.

137
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,920
Additionally, and again, we

138
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,820
went over some of these on September 6th, there were some best practices that

139
00:12:24,820 --> 00:12:29,820
we've added into the manual, one being the allowance of micro-trenching, another

140
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:36,120
being the use of those 3M utility underground marker balls, and replacing

141
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:45,890
the those fiber poles that no one likes. So what's next? As discussed on September 6th,

142
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:53,320
staff has a lot of future standard considerations. Many technical in nature, some aesthetic in

143
00:12:53,320 --> 00:13:00,120
nature. So some we do plan on bringing back in front of council. But there's many on the document that

144
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,820
the directors have in conversations with staff about implementing one being roundabout standards.

145
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:27,010
We also understand Council in about a month is having a discussion about speed limits, and if Council chooses to adopt that change for residential speed limits, the manual would be updated in coordinates with that discussion.

146
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:36,310
And finally, staff is here, I'm here, representing staff, to request council approve ordinance

147
00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:37,930
2022-025.

148
00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:45,070
But very briefly, I just want to say thanks to all the names on this screen, make this update

149
00:13:45,070 --> 00:13:45,610
possible.

150
00:13:45,930 --> 00:13:49,030
It was a long effort and we worked really hard on this.

151
00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:50,430
But I brought this one.

152
00:13:50,610 --> 00:13:51,230
I brought this one.

153
00:13:51,770 --> 00:13:54,230
I brought this one.

154
00:13:54,230 --> 00:14:03,180
before we move on to the recommended approval motion if anybody have any questions as was mentioned

155
00:14:03,180 --> 00:14:08,960
we had a quite a detailed conversation of this in September and so everybody has had an opportunity

156
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:16,020
to review it and have their questions answered so if there are no questions from council I will

157
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:21,680
go ahead and open up the public comment portion of the public area real quickly and so we do have

158
00:14:22,460 --> 00:14:26,560
a public comment for this. Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to address this

159
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,400
regarding this matter? Seeing none, I'll close the public comment portion of the public

160
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,940
hearing. Any other questions or comments from Council?

161
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,940
With that, I'll put this under

162
00:14:38,940 --> 00:14:39,440
TANIMotion.

163
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:49,740
Mayor, I move to approve the ordinance 2022-0-25, an ordinance of the City Council

164
00:14:49,740 --> 00:14:57,980
the city of Centennial, Colorado, amending Article 8 of chapter 11 of the Centennial Municipal

165
00:14:57,980 --> 00:14:59,360
Code and adopting the reference.

166
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,380
Members of the 2022 version of the City of Centennial Roadway Design and Construction Standards Manual.

167
00:15:08,260 --> 00:15:10,380
I want to remember a hold of seconds, please vote.

168
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:16,050
At the record show, seven eyes, the motion carries.

169
00:15:16,450 --> 00:15:17,610
All right. Thank you, Mr. Divido.

170
00:15:17,730 --> 00:15:19,830
We appreciate all your time energy on this as well.

171
00:15:20,070 --> 00:15:20,850
So thank you.

172
00:15:22,030 --> 00:15:23,010
And congratulations again.

173
00:15:24,830 --> 00:15:28,210
Thank you very much.

174
00:15:28,630 --> 00:15:30,450
All right. Moving on to our next public hearing.

175
00:15:30,590 --> 00:15:32,010
We do have a public hearing regarding ordinance.

176
00:15:32,010 --> 00:15:35,010
ordinance number 222-O-28.

177
00:15:35,090 --> 00:15:37,170
Mr. Lennon, will you please read it into the record for an

178
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:40,070
incident number 222-O-28 in order to answer the

179
00:15:40,070 --> 00:15:42,190
City Council of the City of Centennial Colorado

180
00:15:42,190 --> 00:15:45,790
Amendment Section 4-8-20 of the Municipal Code and

181
00:15:45,790 --> 00:15:48,690
Title Special Funds by deleting the Lyon News Fund and

182
00:15:48,690 --> 00:15:51,730
amending the language concerning the open space and

183
00:15:51,730 --> 00:15:53,110
capital improvement funds.

184
00:15:53,810 --> 00:15:56,870
All right, Mr. Cadiz, with us this evening to

185
00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:59,330
one through this. Oh, Mr. Ed, Mr. Ed is going to be

186
00:15:59,330 --> 00:16:00,510
joining him as well.

187
00:16:01,090 --> 00:16:02,970
I'll go ahead and let you guys get started.

188
00:16:03,650 --> 00:16:04,790
All right, good evening.

189
00:16:05,270 --> 00:16:06,810
Mayor P. Go and members of the City Council.

190
00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:08,450
I'm Jeff Gives, Finance Director.

191
00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:12,750
Also here joined with Mr. Eric Addy, the Assistant City Manager.

192
00:16:13,650 --> 00:16:17,830
Tonight we're here to present ordinance 2022 028

193
00:16:17,830 --> 00:16:19,390
for Council's consideration.

194
00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:24,750
And the ordinance would amend section 4820

195
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:28,370
of this entire municipal code related to special funds.

196
00:16:29,790 --> 00:16:36,790
So, the home rural charter requires that the city council establish funds other than the general fund by ordinance.

197
00:16:37,490 --> 00:16:46,890
So, the city council had previously established the conservation trust, open space, capital improvement, land use, fiber and street funds.

198
00:16:47,730 --> 00:16:55,890
And all these funds were signed for various purposes which are set forth in that section for eight, 20 of the code.

199
00:16:56,870 --> 00:17:01,910
There are three changes within this ordinance that would amend the sections of the code.

200
00:17:02,650 --> 00:17:08,510
The first change in the ordinance would be to eliminate the land use fund.

201
00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:15,250
And staff has discussed this change with council and with the budget committee during this year's budget process.

202
00:17:16,090 --> 00:17:24,970
The revenues and expenditures that have historically been represented in the land use fund would now be accounted for and budgeted in the general fund.

203
00:17:24,970 --> 00:17:33,530
And the change would increase transparency and clarity on the cost to provide services for land use in that land use process.

204
00:17:34,770 --> 00:17:41,990
The other two amendments are really just some clean-ups in the code of the defined purposes of the funds.

205
00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:48,850
The open space fund had some outdated language from prior county resolutions.

206
00:17:49,130 --> 00:17:54,650
They're now outdated when the voters currently reauthorize the open space tax in 2021.

207
00:17:55,810 --> 00:18:04,870
In addition, there are some changes to the use of the funds that will now point to the intergovernmental agreement with the county.

208
00:18:05,630 --> 00:18:11,970
And by referring to the intergovernmental agreement, we don't have to come back and change this code if there's any changes to the U.S.

209
00:18:11,970 --> 00:18:18,790
of the funds. So it will make it easier for future agreements to be changed without having to update

210
00:18:18,790 --> 00:18:26,130
this section of the code. The last amendment is within the Kaplan Improvement Fund. That's also

211
00:18:26,130 --> 00:18:32,390
clean up to references that are no longer relevant. Since the city created the street fund many of

212
00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:38,650
the identified purposes in the Kaplan Improvement Fund are now captured and met within the street fund.

213
00:18:38,650 --> 00:18:47,390
So, these changes would eliminate those duplicated references and clarify the capital assets that are going to be captured in the capital improvement fund.

214
00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:58,770
So, staff is recommending that council approve ordinance 22208 and we are happy to answer any questions that council may have.

215
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:13,290
All right, as stated in the presentation, we've already viewed these number of cages, as we've done budget workshops, and the budget committee has also approved all these so any questions in the comments.

216
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,960
Well, without any comments or questions from Council, I'll go ahead and open up the public comment portion of this public hearing.

217
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,380
Is there anyone from the audience who wishes to address this regarding this matter?

218
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,040
Do you know not?

219
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,660
Close the public comment question of this public hearing and offer a council any other opportunity

220
00:19:31,660 --> 00:19:34,100
to comment or question anything?

221
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:36,800
Seeing none, I'll let her take a motion.

222
00:19:37,780 --> 00:19:45,740
There I move to approve ordinance 2022-0-28 and ordinance of the City Council of the City

223
00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:54,940
of Centennial, a Mending Section 4-8-220 of the Municipal Code entitled Special Funds, by

224
00:19:54,940 --> 00:20:02,100
leading the land use fund and a men in the language concerning the open space and capital improvement funds.

225
00:20:05,250 --> 00:20:05,310
Second.

226
00:20:06,810 --> 00:20:10,070
On some member, Karen, second, please vote.

227
00:20:13,230 --> 00:20:15,210
At the record show, seven eyes, the motion carries.

228
00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:16,110
That's neat with that.

229
00:20:16,110 --> 00:20:16,770
Thank you.

230
00:20:17,010 --> 00:20:21,050
And so for anyone who didn't quite understand what we just did, it will understand it as we go

231
00:20:21,050 --> 00:20:24,330
to approve the budget in the next public hearing.

232
00:20:24,510 --> 00:20:29,030
So we move on to resolutions and we do have a public hearing for resolution number 222-R-507.

233
00:20:29,030 --> 00:20:34,730
57 miss that only please read it into the record resolution number 2022 to Shardash 57 a resolution

234
00:20:34,730 --> 00:20:40,110
in the city council of the city of Centennial Colorado adopting the city of Centennial 2023 proposed

235
00:20:40,110 --> 00:20:42,590
budget and appropriating sums of money.

236
00:20:43,330 --> 00:20:47,670
All right, so have the same characters in front of us, Mr. is in Mr. Eddie.

237
00:20:48,570 --> 00:20:50,470
All right, good evening again.

238
00:20:50,670 --> 00:20:56,910
Presenting again members of council, Chuck this finance director, again I'm still joined by

239
00:20:59,210 --> 00:21:07,250
And we are here to present resolution 2020-22R-57, which would adopt the 2023 budget and

240
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:08,570
appropriate sums of money.

241
00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:14,730
And in your packet of material tonight, there are several attachments that detailed

242
00:21:14,730 --> 00:21:20,070
the changes from the budget, from what was presented to Council in September and October.

243
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:27,170
And the resolution for Council's consideration, behind the resolution is Exhibit A, which

244
00:21:27,170 --> 00:21:33,130
is attached, which actually appropriates the sums of money, and that shows the total sources

245
00:21:33,130 --> 00:21:40,590
which are revenues and transfers into a fund, and uses which are expenditures and transfers

246
00:21:40,590 --> 00:21:41,010
out.

247
00:21:41,170 --> 00:21:47,910
And we'll go over all the attachments in your packet in detail that I wanted to make sure that

248
00:21:47,910 --> 00:21:56,070
was kind of laid out here. So the budget process is an ongoing year-round effort and

249
00:21:56,070 --> 00:22:00,570
in council as well, well aware, you've been participating all year in the budget process,

250
00:22:01,030 --> 00:22:06,770
and it culminates with the adoption of the proposed budget tonight. During this year's budget

251
00:22:06,770 --> 00:22:13,550
cycle, the city developed its first by annual budget. The biennial budget being a tool to support

252
00:22:13,550 --> 00:22:18,730
long-term financial planning and to develop the two-year budget, and this year's budget

253
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:24,770
process really began in the first quarter of 2022 when Council had strategic planning

254
00:22:24,770 --> 00:22:31,910
conversations. During the summer months, the Department developed their budget request for

255
00:22:31,910 --> 00:22:39,390
both 2023 and 2024, and then throughout the whole budget year, this entire budget committee

256
00:22:39,390 --> 00:22:44,570
met several times. I believe five or six times throughout the year to review the city's finances,

257
00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:50,490
revenue projections, departmental budgets, decision packages and budget highlights for both

258
00:22:50,490 --> 00:22:58,390
2023 and 2024. On September 19th, the city manager presented council with the proposed

259
00:22:58,390 --> 00:23:04,750
city manager's budget in accordance with the home real charter, and then council had spent three

260
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:11,310
nights with staff discussing all the details of the budgets by each fund across September

261
00:23:11,310 --> 00:23:16,530
and October, ultimately in us to tonight, which Council will consider the adoption of

262
00:23:16,530 --> 00:23:16,930
the budget.

263
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:26,300
Although the city did develop a biennial budget, the home-eral charter requires the adoption

264
00:23:27,340 --> 00:23:33,080
of individual budgets by fiscal year, so tonight Council is only going to be adopting and

265
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,840
appropriate in sums of money for 2023. As required by state law and the

266
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,560
homeworld charter all funds in the 2023 proposed budget are balanced.

267
00:23:46,310 --> 00:23:46,510
So there

268
00:23:46,510 --> 00:23:51,530
are a few changes from what was presented and discussed with Council and that's

269
00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:55,470
been historic practice and mentioned during the budget workshop. So there may be

270
00:23:55,470 --> 00:24:00,630
some slight changes because the budget was really developed in the summertime and

271
00:24:00,630 --> 00:24:05,070
some of the projects were our best guests at the time. So I'll go over all those

272
00:24:05,070 --> 00:24:10,090
changes from what was presented and discussed to the numbers that are included in tonight.

273
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:17,070
The changes generally stem from receiving actual costs in various situations, and then

274
00:24:17,070 --> 00:24:19,170
also some re-budgeted of projects.

275
00:24:20,030 --> 00:24:24,810
And re-budget again for Council really just means that we had it in the 2022 budget.

276
00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:29,070
In most of these cases, we expected those to be completed in 2022.

277
00:24:29,070 --> 00:24:41,950
For various reasons, supply chains or delays in other items, those projects aren't going to get done in 2022, which is why we are re-budgeting and admin into the 2023 budget.

278
00:24:44,550 --> 00:24:48,730
So I'll start off with the details of the changes and go through them by funds.

279
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:57,650
In the general fund, there was a handful of changes. The first one being update across all departments for benefits.

280
00:24:57,650 --> 00:25:10,450
So during the budget process, we didn't have actual benefit costs, we're still working with our broker and our benefit providers to receive costs.

281
00:25:10,810 --> 00:25:20,190
Those came back lower than initially estimated. So across all departments, there's a decrease of a little over 67,000 benefit costs.

282
00:25:20,190 --> 00:25:32,050
Within the communication departments, professional services line item, there is a re-budget of 25,000 for previously budgeted ADA digital accessibility services.

283
00:25:33,550 --> 00:25:41,570
The Office of Information Technology had a couple changes since we discussed during the budget workshop.

284
00:25:41,570 --> 00:25:47,850
There was an increase to actual costs in the IT services that is for costs.

285
00:25:48,570 --> 00:25:51,050
We received from our Ford and Net Services.

286
00:25:51,730 --> 00:25:58,970
Then there's a re-budget of 25,000 for replacement of a key security and fuel system upgrades.

287
00:25:59,430 --> 00:26:01,850
And those were delayed due to supply chain issues.

288
00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:07,890
The last change is within the law enforcement public safety contract.

289
00:26:07,890 --> 00:26:13,090
That increased potential was discussed at the September 12th budget workshop.

290
00:26:13,570 --> 00:26:21,210
That's an increased estimate for vehicle replacement costs of about 207,000.

291
00:26:21,850 --> 00:26:28,850
So across the general fund, there's changes totaling 200, 303 dollars.

292
00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:34,300
In the street fund, there were two changes.

293
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:42,360
both rebudged it. The under professional services line item, there's a rebudged of 42,000

294
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:48,980
for the traffic signal box art wraps. Within the traffic signal line, there's a rebudged

295
00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:55,140
it for the project work that would be done at Carable Barton Links Parkway for that improvement.

296
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,540
The total of the street fund changes is 242,000.

297
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,300
Then they capital improvement fund, two changes there.

298
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:09,920
There's a re-budget of 150,000 under IT systems line item.

299
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,920
That's a re-budget for the digital accessibility for closed captioning and recorded digital

300
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,240
audio and video.

301
00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:25,060
Under the building improvements, we have a re-budget of 80,000 and then also additional increase

302
00:27:25,060 --> 00:27:26,280
of 30,000.

303
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:32,000
And that's for the Eagle Street electronic electric vehicle charging station.

304
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:41,460
So the increase is due to potentially needing to replace or redo the transformer out there

305
00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:44,080
for the charging station.

306
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,800
The total in the cabin improvement fund is 260,000.

307
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:57,400
Within the open space fund, there were changes across three line items.

308
00:27:57,780 --> 00:28:02,240
All re-budgeted items. The first one was under the Park's line item.

309
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,100
That's for the previously budgeted centennial park project.

310
00:28:07,460 --> 00:28:12,640
Those are for some of those costs that will be incurred in real into 2023.

311
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:20,240
The low entry trade trade re-budget of the low entry trade trade phase 2 design costs.

312
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,640
And then our regional partnerships, those are four projects that include the

313
00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:32,580
Highline Canal and Tree Planting, the Arapo Park's Recreation District,

314
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:38,380
Trail Rest Station, and the South Suburban Park and Rector's District, Trail

315
00:28:38,380 --> 00:28:47,060
Signage and Wayfinding. The total of that is $1,143 and $550.

316
00:28:50,850 --> 00:28:57,010
So here's just a summary of all the changes and what that does to the total expenditures across the funds.

317
00:28:57,390 --> 00:29:05,530
Again, we just went into those details, but each of those four funds increased based on those amounts we just discussed.

318
00:29:06,910 --> 00:29:18,090
The beginning fund balances and ending fund balances do change, and since most of them were rebudgeted, it impacts the ending fund balance at the end of the year slightly.

319
00:29:19,210 --> 00:29:26,170
But the increase, there's an increase in the game fund balance for each of those funds for those

320
00:29:26,170 --> 00:29:27,250
re-budgeted items.

321
00:29:32,860 --> 00:29:39,620
So on the screen now and in your packet was exhibit A and the resolution

322
00:29:39,620 --> 00:29:45,760
and this document is the documents that really provide the legal authority to appropriate and

323
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,560
Expend funds in 2023.

324
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:54,460
This exhibit details the beginning fund balance for each fund, again the sources and uses

325
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:59,400
of each fund, the sources, again being the revenues and transfers in and these.

326
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,160
U.S. is being the expenditures and transfers out, and then the ending fund balance for each fund.

327
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:19,060
Then I know I mentioned that tonight was the culmination of the budget, but really it's not a trick you on that.

328
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:25,680
There are some more items we have. I didn't want to tell you it was a year long process without going in December.

329
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:36,700
So we do have a couple items remaining on December 12th, staff will come back and bring the council for consideration, the adoption of the 2022

330
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:45,080
property tax mill levy certification for collection in 2023 and also the city managers authorization, which is generally

331
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:50,560
includes those list of routine contracts and agreements and then last

332
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:56,180
staff will be finalizing remain sections of the budget book and also be

333
00:30:56,180 --> 00:31:01,100
developing the budget in brief which will both be on the city's website by

334
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:06,520
the end of the year and then hard copies available for council and

335
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,460
citizens at the city building.

336
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,760
So that is all I have for council tonight. Are there

337
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,680
Any questions that Mayor Mr. Eddy can help answer for council?

338
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,120
Any questions?

339
00:31:22,940 --> 00:31:25,740
I guess I'll start out and thank you guys for all the work.

340
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:31,000
Of course, that you've done, especially with the lift of taking us to a biennial budget

341
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:31,880
at the Giddle.

342
00:31:32,220 --> 00:31:38,720
Under the long run, we'll be very productive for us as a municipality and how we can manage

343
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,060
and our expectations and services going forward.

344
00:31:41,060 --> 00:31:47,220
So it'll be worth the efforts once we get through the initial phase of that.

345
00:31:48,140 --> 00:31:50,840
So is anybody have any questions or comments?

346
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:57,920
You want to be quiet because we've all looked at this for so long already that we feel like we're all

347
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:58,580
pros.

348
00:31:59,580 --> 00:32:03,420
So since there's no current questions from Council, I'll go ahead and open the public comment

349
00:32:03,420 --> 00:32:04,940
portion of the public hearing.

350
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,260
Is there anyone from the audience who wishes to address this in this matter?

351
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,020
Good.

352
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,880
Andrew, because it's been a slow night.

353
00:32:11,060 --> 00:32:15,140
But all these public hearings, I know why they say in the name.

354
00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:22,340
I just think you're gonna need somebody to comment at some of the Congress of August.

355
00:32:22,620 --> 00:32:24,640
It's at Six-Four South All-Star Circle.

356
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:36,040
I did listen to all of the budget meetings and I just really impressed with how smooth this process

357
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,660
is going into a two year, a Bianne, a bite,

358
00:32:40,660 --> 00:32:48,620
and you all, boy. And I want to thank you, gentlemen here, especially for all the work

359
00:32:48,620 --> 00:32:55,580
it must have taken to actually do this. Thank you very much. This has been impressive.

360
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,260
Thank you. Let's say something else.

361
00:33:00,260 --> 00:33:02,700
I don't know.

362
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:03,840
I don't know.

363
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,400
I don't know.

364
00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:07,080
I don't know.

365
00:33:08,420 --> 00:33:08,560
I don't know.

366
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:08,680
I don't know.

367
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,500
Is there anyone else from the audience who wishes to speak?

368
00:33:12,380 --> 00:33:12,600
All right.

369
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,820
So you know, I'll go ahead and close the public comment portion of the public hearing.

370
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,180
Any other additional comments or questions from Council?

371
00:33:19,940 --> 00:33:19,980
All right.

372
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:20,540
Seeing none.

373
00:33:20,580 --> 00:33:21,440
I'll entertain a motion.

374
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:31,500
Mayor, I move to approve Resolution 2022-R-57, a resolution of the City Council of the City

375
00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:40,080
of Centennial Colorado adopting the city of Centennial 2023 budget and appropriating sums of money.

376
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,480
On some members, Sutherland, second, please vote.

377
00:33:46,150 --> 00:33:48,870
Let the record show seven eyes the motion carries.

378
00:33:49,730 --> 00:33:49,890
All right.

379
00:33:50,470 --> 00:33:51,070
Yay!

380
00:33:51,170 --> 00:33:51,930
Thank you.

381
00:33:52,110 --> 00:33:52,570
Thank you.

382
00:33:53,870 --> 00:33:54,650
Thank you, too.

383
00:33:55,190 --> 00:34:00,030
Everyone in the City of Manor's Office for helping get this along and thank you to our

384
00:34:00,030 --> 00:34:07,950
committee citizens that part of that process as well. We put in a lot of time and it pays off.

385
00:34:08,250 --> 00:34:14,870
So thank you very much. So moving on everyone got in there. I should have had at their table when I sat down.

386
00:34:15,950 --> 00:34:22,730
We are a discussion about the 2023 meeting schedule. You have a calendar in front of you that illustrates what the

387
00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:29,210
meeting schedule would look like if we may obtain meeting on Mondays and then there's one for what it would

388
00:34:29,210 --> 00:34:38,210
like if we entertain meeting on Tuesdays in 2023 and where there may be holiday conflicts or

389
00:34:38,210 --> 00:34:42,170
where there may not be times that we have to change. Again, none of these meetings, these

390
00:34:42,170 --> 00:34:48,830
are not set in stone. If there's any kind of emergency or any kind of, we don't have business,

391
00:34:49,050 --> 00:34:53,030
there's no reason to have a meeting. We can always cancel a meeting or move a meeting if need be

392
00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:56,930
to accommodate some other type of issue.

393
00:34:58,350 --> 00:35:02,630
I would, my comment when I saw the calendar for the first time.

394
00:35:03,150 --> 00:35:05,230
The Tuesday meetings look much more vertical.

395
00:35:06,910 --> 00:35:08,970
The columns just are a little bit cleaner.

396
00:35:09,970 --> 00:35:11,030
With them being on Tuesdays.

397
00:35:11,890 --> 00:35:14,030
Not so much shift shift.

398
00:35:15,270 --> 00:35:18,130
My understanding from most of council was that

399
00:35:18,130 --> 00:35:21,370
nobody had any kind of,

400
00:35:23,230 --> 00:35:49,050
Thanks, I'm about changing the date to Tuesday, so I want to re-assure to anybody listening at home and to our citizens that we will not be changing the backside of the meeting postings, and so we'll still have our stuff ready to go Friday mornings, we'll set her on the correct, that will be right, your dates will still be Council.

401
00:35:49,050 --> 00:35:51,670
we receive your pack of sensors, day afternoons,

402
00:35:51,890 --> 00:35:54,330
and we publish to the website on Friday mornings.

403
00:35:55,630 --> 00:35:58,130
So I think one of the large advantages to that,

404
00:35:58,230 --> 00:36:01,050
to being on Tuesday is just that we do have

405
00:36:01,050 --> 00:36:04,630
council members at work, real job.

406
00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:08,690
As opposed to some of us are a little bit more flexible,

407
00:36:08,990 --> 00:36:10,190
we're from home kind of thing.

408
00:36:10,590 --> 00:36:14,190
But when you're doing a nine to five or you've got

409
00:36:14,190 --> 00:36:22,870
only the weekend to get through your packet, it puts pressure on council members to ask their

410
00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:29,430
questions either over the weekend to staff or there's pressure on Monday to get an answer

411
00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:35,570
back before five o'clock deadline and if there is a mistake or something that we need to catch,

412
00:36:35,850 --> 00:36:42,790
it does put us in a tighter little time crunch to get some of that resolve before the choose before

413
00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:48,330
meeting on a Monday evening versus at least a Tuesday evening we have an extra day and I would

414
00:36:48,330 --> 00:36:55,190
express the same thing to our citizens that they have more time to review our packets before

415
00:36:55,910 --> 00:37:00,990
the meeting on a Monday night and have the opportunity again to ask questions of our staff

416
00:37:00,990 --> 00:37:06,190
on Monday after they've had that opportunity over the weekend to review packets so it does give

417
00:37:06,190 --> 00:37:17,310
everybody, you know, one more day of time, which kind of rare to come by these days, so anybody else have any, was set around did I miss anything?

418
00:37:18,790 --> 00:37:19,910
Thank you covered it.

419
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:32,000
So I think the goal would be to get consensus from everybody tonight, and so that we would have a resolution for the schedule.

420
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,840
And as of looking for consensus to move forward with this change,

421
00:37:36,340 --> 00:37:39,560
if we received that tonight, we'll be back on the consent agenda.

422
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:47,840
With the update to your rules of order, which is your city council policy 2010-CCP-01,

423
00:37:48,060 --> 00:37:50,060
to kind of put in those dates.

424
00:37:50,420 --> 00:37:51,980
I included that in the staff report.

425
00:37:52,060 --> 00:37:55,980
We would make that a little bit more flexible so that you can

426
00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:59,440
choose your dates of the week based on which council is city.

427
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:06,680
And I did appreciate Ms. Settles notes in the packet about how the city council used to meet every Thursday.

428
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:15,060
When they first started, so thank you guys for all that work that you did back then, but

429
00:38:15,620 --> 00:38:17,560
Yeah, it was.

430
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,160
It kind of gave you back.

431
00:38:20,420 --> 00:38:26,580
I mean, it hasn't been that long, but at the same time, you know, it's, you know, a lot of things have changed over one of the years.

432
00:38:26,580 --> 00:38:30,940
those things we've gotten more concise.

433
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,100
So thumbs up, thumbs down, Tuesday, Tuesday,

434
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:45,520
Tuesday. All right. Thank you. All right. Thank you very much. I appreciate you putting this together for us so that we will have a very nice visual. Thank you.

435
00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:53,140
And we'll look for that resolution. All right. Any other matters to come for council? I don't think anybody.

436
00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:55,020
No, certainly.

437
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:55,720
Thank you.

438
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:56,560
I don't need anything.

439
00:38:56,820 --> 00:38:59,540
So we'll go ahead and go with reports.

440
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:00,780
We'll start with City Manager.

441
00:39:02,870 --> 00:39:04,150
Thank you, Mayor Council.

442
00:39:04,690 --> 00:39:05,750
A few things this evening.

443
00:39:07,050 --> 00:39:09,350
First, on October 24th,

444
00:39:09,410 --> 00:39:10,690
I had the pleasure of attending

445
00:39:10,690 --> 00:39:13,550
Sencon with Council Member Sweetland and

446
00:39:14,130 --> 00:39:14,690
Maurer.

447
00:39:14,910 --> 00:39:16,370
Sencon invited me to come.

448
00:39:16,830 --> 00:39:18,630
Talk about the biennial budget.

449
00:39:18,830 --> 00:39:21,790
And what was included in the 2023-24 budget.

450
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:33,210
And how Council was prioritizing projects and how they were thinking strategically about the future of the city.

451
00:39:33,930 --> 00:39:34,790
Very good presentation.

452
00:39:35,130 --> 00:39:38,330
I really enjoyed the time with, with Sen. Con.

453
00:39:38,450 --> 00:39:41,190
Really good questions, Q&A.

454
00:39:42,730 --> 00:39:44,730
And I appreciate the opportunity to be there.

455
00:39:44,830 --> 00:39:45,530
So thank you.

456
00:39:47,110 --> 00:39:48,690
It was a good evening.

457
00:39:48,690 --> 00:39:57,150
I'll let Council Member Sweenland give some other information, but I enjoyed it.

458
00:39:57,550 --> 00:40:01,410
Just an update on the park you'll be getting additional information in your city manager

459
00:40:01,410 --> 00:40:02,350
report.

460
00:40:04,610 --> 00:40:08,970
It's getting late in the year, so there's going to be some landscaping that can't be

461
00:40:08,970 --> 00:40:09,890
programmed this year.

462
00:40:09,910 --> 00:40:13,290
They'll be coming back in the spring to finish up planting.

463
00:40:13,290 --> 00:40:21,770
It's just, we've reached a time in the season where it's not optimal conditions to be putting

464
00:40:21,770 --> 00:40:27,090
in plant materials, so the contract will be kept on to come back and do that.

465
00:40:27,370 --> 00:40:32,490
Most of the hard improvements that should be completed were told by around Thanksgiving

466
00:40:32,490 --> 00:40:33,290
now.

467
00:40:33,570 --> 00:40:39,470
Again, that's subject to weather and how the asphalt plant stays open and things like that.

468
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:40,910
They're getting late in the year.

469
00:40:40,910 --> 00:40:45,650
We want to make sure we get a quality outcome, that's the most important thing.

470
00:40:46,090 --> 00:40:51,630
We know what our budget is, so we're working with the contractor to make sure that we

471
00:40:51,630 --> 00:40:57,150
can do that, but there could be things lingering into spring of next year.

472
00:40:58,870 --> 00:41:05,090
And staff has made the appropriate determination, again, that eating a quality product is more

473
00:41:05,090 --> 00:41:09,810
important and asking the contractor to do something that may fail in the future.

474
00:41:09,810 --> 00:41:14,090
So that's the space we're working from.

475
00:41:15,150 --> 00:41:20,550
I also wanted to give Council an update on a Rapao County's ordinance 2022-01.

476
00:41:20,630 --> 00:41:23,870
That's regarding the commercial marijuana stores, you know,

477
00:41:24,210 --> 00:41:25,630
Incorporated a Rapao County.

478
00:41:26,210 --> 00:41:30,630
The county appreciated the comments sent by City Council.

479
00:41:31,170 --> 00:41:34,110
They did incorporate those comments into their ordinance.

480
00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:39,290
So the ordinance that will be in front of the Board of County Commissioners

481
00:41:39,290 --> 00:41:44,690
tomorrow does exclude those areas adjacent to the

482
00:41:44,690 --> 00:41:49,210
centennial between Parker Road and I-25, so they took

483
00:41:49,210 --> 00:41:53,970
that polygon that was shown to you and actually that's

484
00:41:53,970 --> 00:41:58,350
included as an exhibit part of an exhibit that's associated

485
00:41:58,350 --> 00:42:03,010
with that ordinance. So again, they appreciated Council

486
00:42:03,010 --> 00:42:06,030
taking the time to submit formal comments and those

487
00:42:06,030 --> 00:42:10,830
were considered and incorporated into what they're going to take action on tomorrow.

488
00:42:13,230 --> 00:42:21,770
Everyone is aware that Proposition 123 is on the ballot and we will be following that

489
00:42:21,770 --> 00:42:22,450
for council.

490
00:42:23,370 --> 00:42:29,750
Once we have the election data in and we're able to go to the county clerk, we're going to

491
00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:35,330
trying to get that in the response to that particular question by

492
00:42:35,330 --> 00:42:39,150
precinct so that Council can see how the voters at Centennial considered

493
00:42:39,150 --> 00:42:43,390
that question as you think about your housing policies. It will be maybe

494
00:42:43,390 --> 00:42:47,310
some useful information as you deliberate going into next year how your

495
00:42:47,310 --> 00:42:55,030
citizens considered that particular topic. So look for that to come back to

496
00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:57,410
from staff here in the coming weeks.

497
00:42:58,930 --> 00:43:03,990
Lastly, I wanted to show you a quick video, Mr. Denkin,

498
00:43:04,030 --> 00:43:05,670
bring provided from the contractor.

499
00:43:06,850 --> 00:43:07,950
It's a good area.

500
00:43:08,150 --> 00:43:10,310
I'll show you what's going on down at the project,

501
00:43:10,930 --> 00:43:14,830
on the Dry Creek Bridge on a Rapoho Road.

502
00:43:17,340 --> 00:43:21,140
The projects moving around nicely since this was taken

503
00:43:21,140 --> 00:43:22,380
around mid-October.

504
00:43:22,980 --> 00:43:24,580
They have poured the decking.

505
00:43:24,580 --> 00:43:33,880
They're hoping to transition the lanes over to the new bread section sometime between thanksgiving and Christmas

506
00:43:34,820 --> 00:43:43,910
So the traveling public will move over to the south so they can add the second portion of the decking to the project as we move into the new year

507
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,450
I'm excited again Easter. It's a little bit. I know

508
00:43:50,290 --> 00:43:56,270
But as if it does remain closed, to do the stormwater work and some other things that

509
00:43:56,270 --> 00:44:02,870
they're doing on the south side of the Arapaho right away, that should be opened for by

510
00:44:02,870 --> 00:44:03,430
Thanksgiving.

511
00:44:04,070 --> 00:44:09,670
And they're nearing completion on that work, so we appreciate all of the patients of that

512
00:44:09,670 --> 00:44:13,570
neighborhood as we've had to do that work over there.

513
00:44:14,350 --> 00:44:20,310
And then just for Council, I will be traveling to National League of Cities next week.

514
00:44:20,530 --> 00:44:27,490
I will be out, beginning Tuesday afternoon and returning Saturday, and that's in Kansas City.

515
00:44:27,610 --> 00:44:35,430
I've been in a few years, I'm looking forward to getting that conference and seeing what's going on in our municipalities around the country.

516
00:44:36,930 --> 00:44:37,430
Thank you.

517
00:44:39,860 --> 00:44:42,520
And I said, London, anything else?

518
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:45,380
If you haven't heard tomorrow's election game,

519
00:44:47,260 --> 00:44:48,220
I know.

520
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,060
But I want to do, and the public, to know that

521
00:44:52,060 --> 00:44:55,000
the best place to get the results for the city's ballot question

522
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,280
and any other local races is through the county

523
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,060
at arapahoboats.com.

524
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,060
I'll be updating that soon after the polls close at 7 o'clock and then throughout the night in the next few days.

525
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,460
All right, I have three in.

526
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:16,320
I'll start at, let's see, first week, so we'll go to district one.

527
00:45:17,020 --> 00:45:18,060
I'm ready.

528
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,420
But it's been a long time since we last met.

529
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:21,900
Good morning.

530
00:45:22,060 --> 00:45:23,440
Wow, it's way back in October.

531
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,680
Yeah, I'll keep it very brief.

532
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:32,860
The whiskey warmer, huge hit, we also had a great district one meeting, really good turnout.

533
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:38,980
We also had youth council that met, there were new officer elections, the big topic

534
00:45:38,980 --> 00:45:40,740
of discussion is team court.

535
00:45:40,780 --> 00:45:48,060
As you can see, all of them were sitting behind the dios and getting to be in the shoes

536
00:45:48,060 --> 00:45:49,460
of how it would actually proceed.

537
00:45:49,460 --> 00:45:54,400
so fascinating experience. It was even more fascinating for me to go home and tell my kids if you

538
00:45:54,400 --> 00:46:01,680
violate these rules, you might be in team court. So don't sneak out, just kidding. So really,

539
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:07,700
really great program. I also thought a chance to attend a little to and stride, which is benefiting

540
00:46:07,700 --> 00:46:12,700
little to public schools. There's a picture here. And I just wanted to share the upper left hand

541
00:46:12,700 --> 00:46:18,540
quarter is Andrew Graham. He's a new LPS board member that was just selected. And he had such positive

542
00:46:18,540 --> 00:46:25,420
comments to share about Centennial's Council and just the city at large. What a great partnership

543
00:46:25,420 --> 00:46:29,200
it was and I always like to say, you know, health and relationships between the cities and

544
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:35,300
school schools equal healthy communities. So it's very, very positive. How did chance to attend

545
00:46:35,300 --> 00:46:41,260
the community grant award in District 1 at the point, which should be the next pictures. They actually

546
00:46:41,260 --> 00:46:48,020
had a cake made, Ryan Thompson, when I had a chance to attend, and in the snow, they probably

547
00:46:48,020 --> 00:46:53,840
had 20 people show up. They were so proud of their new sign received at the Grants Award,

548
00:46:53,940 --> 00:47:00,120
it looked really, really good. And then had a wonderful time during the Centennial Airport with

549
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:05,640
the number of council members, and I'll just, they'll share this as well, but my favorite part

550
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,260
was learning that the undeveloped land is used for bees.

551
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:11,520
They put bees on the wind.

552
00:47:11,940 --> 00:47:12,760
It was kind of cool.

553
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,520
I just really need it.

554
00:47:14,660 --> 00:47:16,240
So yeah, there's some fun picks.

555
00:47:16,860 --> 00:47:17,120
Thank you.

556
00:47:17,140 --> 00:47:17,560
Thank you.

557
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,340
Thank you for sharing.

558
00:47:19,020 --> 00:47:19,740
How's my name?

559
00:47:20,380 --> 00:47:20,720
Yeah.

560
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,840
So I didn't make it to the whisky warmer, but I went to the city sponsored event at the

561
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:35,620
Coven Park on October 22nd for the Turkish retreat trail and it's a 5K run walk there.

562
00:47:35,620 --> 00:47:42,320
as well, and it was very well-attended city should be very proud to be able to work with South

563
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:49,420
Swerve and the Kuthan on. I also did something a little different. I have volunteered with

564
00:47:49,420 --> 00:47:56,300
the safer streets advisory committee orientation and we reviewed grants submitted by other

565
00:47:56,300 --> 00:48:03,620
cities for safer streets in regards to criminal justice matters. It's an environment of trying

566
00:48:03,620 --> 00:48:08,740
to encourage cities to put in for grants,

567
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,920
to improve their areas, their built areas,

568
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,940
to have other relations in the community.

569
00:48:16,860 --> 00:48:19,640
I also attended Dr. Mack meeting,

570
00:48:20,260 --> 00:48:22,980
and RTD has begun their new fair.

571
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,880
So there are several cities around us who are participating

572
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,820
with Dr. Mack and have done some amazing programs

573
00:48:32,820 --> 00:48:39,560
to encourage seniors to ride and use the RTD services such as Flex Ride.

574
00:48:40,180 --> 00:48:44,760
I had airport noise roundtable meeting last Wednesday.

575
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:52,280
The airport noise roundtable is dealing a lot with communities who have been impacted

576
00:48:52,280 --> 00:49:00,600
by noise as a result of the mid-air collision earlier this spring since the FAA changed the rules

577
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:09,760
for landing and expanding the pattern and entering into the runway, the FAA has not responded

578
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:17,120
to invitations from the Centennial Airport to come and address some of the citizens' concerns,

579
00:49:17,940 --> 00:49:29,960
but the airport themselves are still continuing to work with FAA and representative Jason

580
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,240
across office to get some resolution on those issues.

581
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:35,240
And that's all I have.

582
00:49:35,900 --> 00:49:36,680
Thank you very much.

583
00:49:36,900 --> 00:49:37,960
And come work with me.

584
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:38,880
Thank you.

585
00:49:39,380 --> 00:49:42,440
So I visited the Lockheed Martin facilities

586
00:49:43,140 --> 00:49:45,140
that the Aurora Chamber of Commerce,

587
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,180
which was really fun for me because I grew up here

588
00:49:49,180 --> 00:49:50,720
and have never been inside the building.

589
00:49:51,140 --> 00:49:53,260
So it was neat to see what they do.

590
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,080
And when somebody asked a question and they said,

591
00:49:56,780 --> 00:49:59,260
I can't answer that in this room right here with these people.

592
00:49:59,260 --> 00:50:03,860
But we could talk maybe later, depending, so that was interesting.

593
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:09,980
Then the Centennial Airport tour truly was fascinating.

594
00:50:10,540 --> 00:50:14,140
I really appreciate staff putting that together for us.

595
00:50:14,380 --> 00:50:17,140
They are such a huge revenue generator for the area.

596
00:50:18,220 --> 00:50:21,720
So that was really a great tour.

597
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:30,340
We went to the long creek trail ribbon cutting and what was great about that was that

598
00:50:30,340 --> 00:50:37,360
actual people using the trail while we were there talking about it so you know it's

599
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:43,200
going to get a lot of use and it's just nice to see our open space dollars that work and

600
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,060
benefiting members in the community.

601
00:50:46,880 --> 00:51:12,720
I went to the Sancom meeting with Council Member Mower and I'm not sure what I'm going to talk about, but since I was told that I was going to talk about it, I just think that for I think it's really important that we as city council members that we do take our turn and go on a monthly basis and really update the Sancom folks as to what's happening in the city and give them an opportunity to ask questions.

602
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:16,460
But they were really interested in hearing about the budget

603
00:51:16,460 --> 00:51:20,080
and our city manager did a wonderful job

604
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,520
answering a lot of questions.

605
00:51:23,020 --> 00:51:24,300
And it's fascinating.

606
00:51:24,740 --> 00:51:27,840
These are the people that talk to their neighbors

607
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,880
and what they're interested in and how important

608
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,120
Sankhan is for our city.

609
00:51:34,020 --> 00:51:36,160
So they're, I talked about it.

610
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:47,760
And then we did one of our community improvement grants at Homestead Village, too.

611
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,880
We did not take a picture, but they were so appreciative.

612
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,120
They were so appreciative of the work that Ryan Thompson does.

613
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:02,380
They did a sign at their community and then they did some landscaping work on a medium

614
00:52:02,380 --> 00:52:04,840
and we're right by the community pool,

615
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,800
we're a lot of people gather that used to just be empty

616
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,800
and so it was nice and lush.

617
00:52:11,820 --> 00:52:14,440
So they really did appreciate that.

618
00:52:14,980 --> 00:52:19,980
And then today was our final housing study work, working group.

619
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,500
So we're looking forward to talking to all of you

620
00:52:25,300 --> 00:52:27,360
about what we've talked through.

621
00:52:27,620 --> 00:52:29,200
But we really do appreciate,

622
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:37,780
we had citizens that came that participated every month for the last year so that we will

623
00:52:37,780 --> 00:52:44,900
have a really good report for you guys to go forward with so we really appreciate their commitment

624
00:52:44,900 --> 00:52:51,600
to the city and being a part of that on a monthly basis. So that is it. Again, thank you.

625
00:52:56,380 --> 00:52:57,020
And

626
00:52:57,020 --> 00:53:06,800
October 18th, I attended the Salsa Bourbon Parks and Rec District meeting with Council Member

627
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:14,560
Holt and Mr. Sturgeon. This is the group where the liaison group with the Salsa Bourbon

628
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:20,360
Parks and Rec District. They're moving along with several big capital improvement projects

629
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:30,020
and they're experiencing increases in the cost of building materials like everyone else in the world these days.

630
00:53:30,580 --> 00:53:40,600
So they have a new deputy executive director for IT and administration and operations that was a new hire.

631
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:50,800
They're also working on plans for the new Pickleball Courts complex.

632
00:53:51,330 --> 00:53:57,560
It's going to be built at the corner of Broadway and County Line, the Southwest corner.

633
00:53:58,540 --> 00:54:06,300
Pickleball is all the rage these days, and so they're responding to the public interest in Pickleball.

634
00:54:06,300 --> 00:54:16,580
And they did give us a little glimpse of what might be coming in the way of a possible bond issue

635
00:54:16,580 --> 00:54:21,940
coming up in either 2025 or 2026.

636
00:54:22,540 --> 00:54:30,420
So this is a ways out, but they really need some additional funding to redo goods in

637
00:54:30,420 --> 00:54:42,680
center, which is old and needs work. And they're also looking at, at that time, in that

638
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:53,920
same bond issue, funds to repurpose the old South suburban Isorina, which is basically to

639
00:54:53,920 --> 00:55:01,060
the west sort of southwest of goods and if you go across the little bridge there.

640
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:11,060
And they're also looking at a new rec center to be built in loan tree east of I-25.

641
00:55:11,380 --> 00:55:18,380
So that's a long way from Centennial kind of, but there's a lot of development going

642
00:55:18,380 --> 00:55:21,700
on their planned development for the city of Laundry.

643
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:31,320
It's ended the Faith Council meeting on October 25th.

644
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,380
That was after the great whiskey warmer on October 22nd,

645
00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:39,600
in which the Sutherland celebrated their wedding anniversary

646
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,080
on that day as well.

647
00:55:42,420 --> 00:55:48,020
So we had essentially shots for our wedding.

648
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:59,240
And we're not, we're not talking COVID-19 vaccine shots, so it was a great event and thanks

649
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:07,180
to everyone at the city for doing all that part work on it.

650
00:56:07,580 --> 00:56:14,060
And let's see, did the airport tour and lunch on November the 4th?

651
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,520
I learned a lot.

652
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:41,320
There's a lot of land out there, and it was fascinating to see the additional hangar facilities that have been added to the south end of the airport property, particularly the place where the new Broncos ownership will have their planes,

653
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:46,480
their ownership will have facilities for their planes.

654
00:56:47,980 --> 00:56:52,520
So that's pretty much it, and thank you very much.

655
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:53,260
Awesome.

656
00:56:53,660 --> 00:56:54,220
That's very helpful.

657
00:56:54,620 --> 00:56:55,120
Thank you, Mayor.

658
00:56:56,180 --> 00:56:58,720
So being towards the end of the line, a lot of it's going to be a repeat.

659
00:56:59,980 --> 00:57:03,660
So I won't drone on about it, but whiskey, warmer, fantastic.

660
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:10,720
So many people came up to me and thank me for thanking the city for putting this on.

661
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:15,300
I think it's great for the community, it's great for the businesses, the businesses absolutely

662
00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:16,420
love being there.

663
00:57:17,060 --> 00:57:22,120
So I think this is just a really good program here, a long-treat, a long-treat ribbon cutting.

664
00:57:23,140 --> 00:57:28,260
Let's see, also it's like the Centennial Airport Tour, interesting fact, it believe

665
00:57:28,260 --> 00:57:28,600
or not.

666
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:35,220
It is the 17th busiest airport in the United States of America, and I thought that was

667
00:57:35,220 --> 00:57:40,100
absolutely amazing that we have such a busy, busy airport literally right in our back

668
00:57:40,100 --> 00:57:47,220
here. Attended at Waters Impact on Business, which was, which is very interesting, also along

669
00:57:47,220 --> 00:57:53,600
with the Council on Sutherland, the House of Urban Parks and Rec, breakfast. And if I heard

670
00:57:53,600 --> 00:58:00,900
right and correct me here, the dog park will be open within weeks. So I'm planning on myself

671
00:58:00,900 --> 00:58:07,640
but Wilson, too well, Wilson's underburner doodled to Chris.

672
00:58:11,740 --> 00:58:13,540
We'll go ribbon cutting on that one.

673
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:19,640
And finally, Fiber, met with the Fiber Commission, the Fiber Works Commission,

674
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:26,180
and look for a presentation from the citizen members to the Addendum to the Fiber Master Plan.

675
00:58:26,180 --> 00:58:30,180
possibly next next session may be in December.

676
00:58:31,460 --> 00:58:33,180
But there you have it.

677
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:35,280
Thank you very much.

678
00:58:35,700 --> 00:58:36,860
Mayor Pertum, she can.

679
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:37,820
Thank you, Mayor.

680
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,740
Many of the typical or usual standing meetings that I have.

681
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,540
Senior Commission, Arapo Park, Recreation,

682
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,380
SEM SWAT, did go to a defense council,

683
00:58:48,380 --> 00:58:57,300
social up at the launch pad brewery with many of the troops from Buckley Space Force base

684
00:58:57,300 --> 00:58:59,420
where they're including Colonel Jackson.

685
00:59:01,900 --> 00:59:04,860
On the 20th it was a Thursday, I went over as an

686
00:59:04,860 --> 00:59:13,000
observer to Eagle Street to watch the, they did an active shooter drill, a Nate Fog, who plays

687
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:20,440
a great crazy man from a sheriff's office of emergency management had a semi-nition gun.

688
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:27,880
I mean, they literally blanks and came in and unbeknownst to the folks at Eagle Street.

689
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,440
They knew it was coming, but they didn't know what he was going to do.

690
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,240
It was a great exercise.

691
00:59:33,780 --> 00:59:35,580
Everybody over there took it very seriously.

692
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:40,080
They'd been through some training and some drills beforehand, but took it very seriously.

693
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:54,180
And then they had a debrief afterwards and there was a lot of good, constructive talk about what went right for the employees, what went wrong and so on.

694
00:59:54,180 --> 00:59:59,380
So my applied to the effort that the input...

695
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,160
Employees over at Eagle Street put into this. It was a very interesting day. Whiskey warmer, I had a couple

696
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:16,060
shots in honor of your anniversary, I guess. Yeah, it was my pleasure. I don't know how Allison pulls off

697
01:00:16,060 --> 01:00:23,140
the weather, but a beautiful day. Let's see, the award chamber board of directors meeting. I also

698
01:00:23,140 --> 01:00:29,480
went out to Lockheed Martin for the Defense Council meeting there. On the first November, the sheriff's

699
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,500
Department sponsored a seminar on human trafficking.

700
01:00:33,740 --> 01:00:37,100
It had an investigator from Homeland Security.

701
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:39,100
And it was interesting.

702
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:45,640
I mean, you don't think of labor trafficking and sex trafficking, maybe being something

703
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,160
that we have in this area and certainly in Centennial, but we do.

704
01:00:50,460 --> 01:00:59,460
And it is a very serious issue, and we fortunately have Homeland Security that does the

705
01:00:59,460 --> 01:01:04,540
investigations and arresting people at some point.

706
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:10,700
Also did the Lone Tree Creek ribbon cutting, beautiful trail, the Centennial Airport to

707
01:01:10,700 --> 01:01:19,800
were Saturday, I went down to Colorado Springs to interview prospects or candidates for

708
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:26,320
the service academies in the U.S. for Air Force Academy, West Point, Naval Academy

709
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:32,820
at anapolis and the merchant marine. I did it last year and I'm going to do it again on this

710
01:01:32,820 --> 01:01:37,760
coming Saturday with Council Member Sweetland and maybe I don't know anybody else is going to go.

711
01:01:38,540 --> 01:01:44,120
But it's, I don't know, we get to do a lot of fun things as Council Members, but this is one of the

712
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:50,680
times that you really get a good sense of what the future of our country might be when you've got.

713
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:59,100
In my case, we had about 15 different high school age people that are willing to, in exchange

714
01:01:59,100 --> 01:02:04,340
for a very good education, but are willing to give back to their country at an early

715
01:02:04,340 --> 01:02:05,120
age like that.

716
01:02:05,140 --> 01:02:09,980
So it's very inspiring and in my mind, and I look forward to it.

717
01:02:10,100 --> 01:02:10,600
It was a lot of fun.

718
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:18,180
If anybody has any interest in doing that on Sunday, I think they're still looking for people

719
01:02:18,180 --> 01:02:19,460
to help interview candidates.

720
01:02:19,460 --> 01:02:25,420
I think Saturday is full, but Sunday is available, so you have an interest talk to me and we'll

721
01:02:25,420 --> 01:02:27,840
log it, so I hooked up.

722
01:02:27,940 --> 01:02:34,420
And then finally, this morning, health one and HCA had an orientation meeting for the Community

723
01:02:34,420 --> 01:02:40,580
Advisory Board that we, of all hospitals that are part of the health one network, specifically

724
01:02:40,580 --> 01:02:46,960
though, Centennial Hospital is part of that network and I sit on that board and had a nice

725
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:51,560
conversation about what their expectations are and what they plan to do going forward.

726
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,240
So, that was it for a couple of weeks.

727
01:02:55,580 --> 01:02:56,560
There you are again.

728
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:03,020
So, I try to breeze through everything that's been kind of said, but I do want to give again a shout out

729
01:03:03,020 --> 01:03:04,720
to staff for everything for whiskey warmer.

730
01:03:06,180 --> 01:03:07,840
Great attendance sold out.

731
01:03:08,140 --> 01:03:10,160
So, a lot of tickets in advance.

732
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:11,720
There were some available day oven.

733
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:13,720
We probably could have sold even more day.

734
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:20,200
they were definitely popular and I heard many people say they had been to every single one

735
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:24,380
like it's their thing so it's kind of fun that we've got something that's been going on long enough

736
01:03:24,380 --> 01:03:29,100
now that everybody we have repeat you know performance is going on so I just want to give

737
01:03:29,100 --> 01:03:34,500
a shout out to council everyone here is what you guys all do and how well represented we are at

738
01:03:34,500 --> 01:03:40,140
so many different things in numbers and I too was at like Lockheed Martin and there were three

739
01:03:40,140 --> 01:03:46,960
of us there right for Lockie Martin. I would say we had three of us at the Waters Impact,

740
01:03:48,060 --> 01:03:53,160
presentation by Denver Water, and I think really only elected officials in the room,

741
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:59,520
if I'm not mistaken. There was a full room. It was mostly business people from downtown Denver

742
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:05,600
was put on by the Denver Chamber or hosted there. So you know, I just, it's just, we all think

743
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,660
that it's our responsibility to be there and no one make, you know, I don't ask you guys

744
01:04:09,660 --> 01:04:14,980
to go much sometimes, but not always, and everyone just comes, so I really appreciate

745
01:04:14,980 --> 01:04:22,260
the fact that we're, and it is notice. I will say people, people do recognize that. I also

746
01:04:22,260 --> 01:04:28,440
wanted to say that, and hopefully this Thomas can help me, but we had the homeless coordinating

747
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:35,380
committee meeting for the county wide. Oh, we could go Friday. Mr. Flamingwant, Ms. Thomas

748
01:04:35,380 --> 01:04:42,780
and I myself and we and I can't remember what the piece, the pillars were. They had, I

749
01:04:42,780 --> 01:04:47,860
saw, I don't have my notes with me from it and we went through and had identified.

750
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:54,700
Yeah, it was like four peas that we were using.

751
01:04:55,180 --> 01:05:00,140
These were present, the like strategy areas, the values.

752
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,380
Yeah, then we only came up with a fifth one too.

753
01:05:03,380 --> 01:05:23,020
So we sat in groups, but basically the groups that we were in broke those down and we took a couple of them and looked at what were the things that we thought were the areas of biggest need within the community and what we could, you know, do what we needed to be done more urgently than other things.

754
01:05:23,020 --> 01:05:30,940
So more to come on that it is definitely an ongoing group and really starting to gel together

755
01:05:30,940 --> 01:05:34,020
I think a little bit better than it has been in the past.

756
01:05:35,140 --> 01:05:36,780
So, and then let's see, my other one.

757
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:37,540
Oh, Friday.

758
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:42,800
I was in the Cherry Creek School District this week is celebrating Veterans Week.

759
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:43,700
They do it.

760
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:49,700
They entire week of Veterans Day and so they had they kicked it off last Friday with a parade

761
01:05:49,700 --> 01:05:57,780
from Ask and Aspen crossings down to Skye Bista middle school has we had all the kids

762
01:05:57,780 --> 01:06:03,580
March the Eagle Cross high school band came out and did the March they had floats that

763
01:06:03,580 --> 01:06:07,560
they put together and everything was a lot of fun and then they had a very nice ceremony

764
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:17,320
inside Skye Bista with both the choirs performing and for orchestra performing and they

765
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:22,220
of seated in the front for all the veterans that were in attendance, and then they were also

766
01:06:22,220 --> 01:06:28,840
recognized as a very first school district in the State of Colorado to be designated a purple

767
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:35,760
heart district for all the efforts the Cherokee School District does to honor veterans and to work with

768
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:40,920
that and explain make sure we're passing that information onto our young kids. So it was very nice

769
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:45,820
ceremony. They did a great job and we'll definitely be working closely in the future because that's

770
01:06:45,820 --> 01:06:53,120
kick off one and then they have one this Friday that is further east out by more Cherokee

771
01:06:53,120 --> 01:07:00,680
Trail high school and do another set of parades out there so that that's a very nice

772
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,360
tribute that they do and as I've noticed with all the Cherokee schools I have all the flags

773
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:10,620
in front of all their schools this whole week too so it's very nice to see that done and I just

774
01:07:10,620 --> 01:07:17,240
of this and add to that at the Faith Council meeting, some at church, I had a meeting with them,

775
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:22,440
welcome them. They're kind of reorganizing but they joined the Faith Council. I know the church

776
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:27,200
are hosted the Faith and Blue for their off-road for somebody. So, and what they said they've been

777
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:33,500
40 years? Yeah. So, they're one of those. Well, yeah, a long time, but they've been

778
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:36,840
than around there. So with that, and then I think

779
01:07:39,370 --> 01:07:43,050
I pretty much bring this up to date. So we do

780
01:07:43,730 --> 01:07:51,190
have a, just want to, you know, to like on Thursday, post election, obviously, we are for already

781
01:07:51,190 --> 01:07:57,270
having a meeting with in Denver South as meeting with the left of the officials that will be

782
01:07:57,270 --> 01:08:06,010
elected, that will be working in that Denver South reason, region in order to try to do kind of

783
01:08:06,010 --> 01:08:12,970
and trying to help identify some of the issues that we wish the legislature would take up and that

784
01:08:12,970 --> 01:08:17,490
would assist with some other things. So trying to get that meeting in early as possible, we scheduled

785
01:08:17,490 --> 01:08:23,230
it with everyone, every candidate, so that they all know, depending on what happens to them.

786
01:08:24,090 --> 01:08:31,970
And I bought Powerball tickets. So I'm just saying I never do that because I just, just not my thing,

787
01:08:31,970 --> 01:08:35,990
But someone suggested it yesterday, and I was just in front of them.

788
01:08:36,370 --> 01:08:38,710
And the store is like, oh, what the heck?

789
01:08:39,530 --> 01:08:46,030
So, um, but my husband says if we want, he won't be there when I go, I'm not sure.

790
01:08:46,050 --> 01:08:48,730
I didn't get any kind of text message or anything like this.

791
01:08:48,930 --> 01:08:54,450
And it's good, but hopefully it'd be nice if somebody had sent any of those part of it.

792
01:08:54,690 --> 01:08:57,330
So, all right, uh, does anybody have anything else?

793
01:08:58,350 --> 01:09:02,590
No, all right, did anybody looking at the agenda today?

794
01:09:02,630 --> 01:09:03,990
I think we would be out of here at 80.

795
01:09:04,450 --> 01:09:05,890
Man, I'm just saying it.

796
01:09:05,990 --> 01:09:07,050
Thank you very much.

797
01:09:07,190 --> 01:09:08,590
You guys, I'll have a great evening.

798
01:09:08,890 --> 01:09:09,450
We are adjourned.
