30
00:05:46,335 --> 00:05:49,335
>> hello, council thank you for

00:05:49,537 --> 00:05:50,871

32
00:05:50,871 --> 00:05:52,507
cincinnati skate park project.

33
00:05:52,507 --> 00:05:54,576
Spoken here a few times, been to

34
00:05:54,576 --> 00:05:57,279
a few budget sessions and just

35
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,749
want to thank council and the

36
00:06:00,749 --> 00:06:02,117
city for backing skateboarding,

37
00:06:02,117 --> 00:06:05,717
for coming out in support of

38
00:06:06,355 --> 00:06:08,230
what is a very unique and

39
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:10,230
specifically urban sport,

40
00:06:11,226 --> 00:06:12,628
sometimes people call it a art,

41
00:06:12,628 --> 00:06:15,280
lifestyle, it is transportation

42
00:06:16,331 --> 00:06:18,166
source. And I know the city

43
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:20,402
pushing for complete streets,

44
00:06:20,402 --> 00:06:22,270
streets that are safe I safe are

45
00:06:22,270 --> 00:06:24,473
for pedestrians. We the green

46
00:06:24,473 --> 00:06:25,541
cincinnati plan pushing for more

47
00:06:25,541 --> 00:06:27,676
sustainable transport. We want

48
00:06:27,676 --> 00:06:30,612
to make it easier for people to

49
00:06:30,612 --> 00:06:32,948
get around town, get out of

50
00:06:32,948 --> 00:06:35,417
cars, get active. And, you

51
00:06:35,417 --> 00:06:39,387
know, also we know that kids, we

52
00:06:39,387 --> 00:06:40,989
want to keep kids engaged and

53
00:06:40,989 --> 00:06:41,990
skateboarding is uniquely

54
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:43,859
popular support with young

55
00:06:43,859 --> 00:06:45,270
people. And so we want to find

56
00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:47,930
as many ways possible to get

57
00:06:47,930 --> 00:06:50,650
them outside, get them active.

58
00:06:50,650 --> 00:06:51,333
We're working on a skate park

59
00:06:51,333 --> 00:06:52,768
with your support and this will

60
00:06:52,768 --> 00:06:56,571
help us get kids to the skate

61
00:06:56,571 --> 00:06:58,574
park without needing to get a

62
00:06:58,574 --> 00:07:00,509
ride, find a way there. They

63
00:07:00,509 --> 00:07:02,510
can skate and we skate around

64
00:07:02,510 --> 00:07:04,980
town, people can skate to work.

65
00:07:04,980 --> 00:07:07,448
I think the timing is good with

66
00:07:07,448 --> 00:07:08,817
the olympics in paris this

67
00:07:08,817 --> 00:07:11,817
summer, skateboarding will be in

68
00:07:11,954 --> 00:07:12,887
the olympics it is time to make

69
00:07:12,887 --> 00:07:14,887
it morsel here

70
00:07:15,224 --> 00:07:16,892
can be here in

71
00:07:16,892 --> 00:07:18,427
cincinnati and thank you for

72
00:07:18,427 --> 00:07:19,193
your efforts in doing that.

73
00:07:19,193 --> 00:07:19,962
>>

74
00:07:19,962 --> 00:07:21,962
>> Councilmember Harris: thank

75
00:07:22,397 --> 00:07:23,998
you, next is randy brown. You

76
00:07:23,998 --> 00:07:25,901
have the privilege of the floor

77
00:07:25,901 --> 00:07:26,935
for two minutes.

78
00:07:26,935 --> 00:07:28,203
>> thank you councilmember

79
00:07:28,203 --> 00:07:30,739
harris, council for having us

80
00:07:30,739 --> 00:07:33,139
this afternoon. I'm randy

81
00:07:33,408 --> 00:07:34,810
brown, homeowner, skateboarder,

82
00:07:34,810 --> 00:07:36,911
live and work in city of

83
00:07:36,911 --> 00:07:38,981
cincinnati for the past 13

84
00:07:38,981 --> 00:07:42,451
years. I'm here to support this

85
00:07:42,451 --> 00:07:44,453
change to the city legislation.

86
00:07:44,453 --> 00:07:46,955
Like evan walker my friend said,

87
00:07:46,955 --> 00:07:47,856
I work with the skate park

88
00:07:47,856 --> 00:07:49,856
project. Skateboarding and

89
00:07:50,926 --> 00:07:52,393
roller skating, are safe and

90
00:07:52,393 --> 00:07:53,762
environmentally sustainable,

91
00:07:53,762 --> 00:07:56,162
healthy forms of transportation

92
00:07:56,265 --> 00:07:58,333
and recreation. I think it is

93
00:07:58,333 --> 00:08:01,704
long over due, frankly, that the

94
00:08:01,704 --> 00:08:04,104
city welcome skateboards and

95
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,442
roller skates and skating and

96
00:08:06,442 --> 00:08:09,345
coasting on city streets for a

97
00:08:09,345 --> 00:08:10,279
variety of rosemary that are

98
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:11,547
enumerated in the whereas

99
00:08:11,547 --> 00:08:13,349
clauses and thank you for

100
00:08:13,349 --> 00:08:14,450
considering this change to your

101
00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:16,450
legislation.

102
00:08:16,685 --> 00:08:18,685
>> Councilmember Harris: thank

103
00:08:19,788 --> 00:08:21,991
you. All right, has the zoom

104
00:08:21,991 --> 00:08:22,991
speaker logged on?

105
00:08:22,991 --> 00:08:25,928
No, all right. That concludes

106
00:08:25,928 --> 00:08:28,300
public comment. We'll jump into

107
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:29,598
the agenda.

108
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:32,267
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair item

109
00:08:32,267 --> 00:08:33,502
number 1 is ray municipal code

110
00:08:33,502 --> 00:08:35,502
modification. This ordinance

111
00:08:38,730 --> 00:08:40,473
would modify provisions of 723,

112
00:08:40,676 --> 00:08:42,577
streets and sidewalks, use

113
00:08:42,577 --> 00:08:45,577
regulations of the communes pal

114
00:08:45,581 --> 00:08:48,384
code. It would and skating or

115
00:08:48,384 --> 00:08:50,252
coasting devices, skateboards

116
00:08:50,252 --> 00:08:51,954
and other coasting device

117
00:08:51,954 --> 00:08:53,954
regulation, essentially this

118
00:08:54,757 --> 00:08:56,692
would expand where skateboards

119
00:08:56,692 --> 00:08:59,692
and similar coasting devices can

120
00:08:59,995 --> 00:09:01,630
be utilized on certain city

121
00:09:01,630 --> 00:09:04,630
streets. And what operators of

122
00:09:07,936 --> 00:09:10,639
those devices must do in terms

123
00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:13,639
of pedestrians. So this amends

124
00:09:15,678 --> 00:09:16,345
streets and sidewalks use

125
00:09:16,345 --> 00:09:17,246
regulations.

126
00:09:17,246 --> 00:09:19,246
>> Councilmember Harris: thank

127
00:09:19,448 --> 00:09:22,830
you, so I will also hand it over

128
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:23,919
to my colleague, MR. Jeffreyses,

129
00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:26,255
we have been working on this for

130
00:09:26,255 --> 00:09:28,958
a white while now. And you know

131
00:09:28,958 --> 00:09:32,193
at the heart this ordinance I

132
00:09:32,193 --> 00:09:34,593
think really affirms our

133
00:09:36,131 --> 00:09:39,340
commitment we made when we

134
00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:41,340
allocated, $500,000 for new

135
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:43,470
skating facilities and our

136
00:09:45,374 --> 00:09:46,876
traffic laws are out of date.

137
00:09:46,876 --> 00:09:49,911
For non car users and we're

138
00:09:49,911 --> 00:09:52,911
beginning to make them reflect

139
00:09:54,617 --> 00:09:56,485
urban multimodal environmental,

140
00:09:56,485 --> 00:09:57,286
this idea of multimodal

141
00:09:57,286 --> 00:09:59,421
transportation that we talked

142
00:09:59,421 --> 00:10:00,489
about. When we think about

143
00:10:00,489 --> 00:10:02,489
complete streets ordinance,

144
00:10:03,392 --> 00:10:06,295
vision zero, our investments in

145
00:10:06,295 --> 00:10:08,230
traffic calming connected

146
00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:09,899
communities are and putting our

147
00:10:09,899 --> 00:10:11,833
streets as placing places that

148
00:10:11,833 --> 00:10:13,168
are welcoming all users. When

149
00:10:13,168 --> 00:10:15,838
we think about this ordinance it

150
00:10:15,838 --> 00:10:18,608
lays out a couple things t. Lays

151
00:10:18,608 --> 00:10:19,742
our out our prioritization for

152
00:10:19,742 --> 00:10:22,110
skateboarding in the whereas

153
00:10:22,110 --> 00:10:23,712
clauses so remove skateboarding

154
00:10:23,712 --> 00:10:25,347
from the traffic code and heard

155
00:10:25,347 --> 00:10:26,615
at the city office of

156
00:10:26,615 --> 00:10:27,916
administration hearings, not

157
00:10:27,916 --> 00:10:29,719
court. It eliminates the

158
00:10:29,719 --> 00:10:31,686
possibility of jail time and

159
00:10:31,686 --> 00:10:33,889
reduces the fine. It cleans up

160
00:10:33,889 --> 00:10:35,491
the code to more clearly define

161
00:10:35,491 --> 00:10:37,760
skating or coasting device so

162
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,962
there is no ambiguity when it

163
00:10:39,962 --> 00:10:42,864
comes to roller belating, non

164
00:10:42,864 --> 00:10:44,833
electric execute s, it remoms

165
00:10:44,833 --> 00:10:46,680
outdated regulating

166
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,700
skateboarding, section 3 of the

167
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:50,773
owe ever that skating and

168
00:10:50,773 --> 00:10:52,241
coasting devices so one without

169
00:10:52,241 --> 00:10:55,811
do and safety and rights of

170
00:10:55,811 --> 00:10:58,211
pedestrians and occupants of

171
00:10:59,181 --> 00:11:01,183
other vehicles to endanger the

172
00:11:01,183 --> 00:11:04,190
life, limb, or property a.

173
00:11:04,190 --> 00:11:05,654
Sidewalks or other areas without

174
00:11:05,654 --> 00:11:07,654
exercising reasonable or

175
00:11:08,724 --> 00:11:11,326
ordinary control and in weaving

176
00:11:11,326 --> 00:11:12,395
or zigzag course and that

177
00:11:12,395 --> 00:11:14,964
necessary for safe operation or

178
00:11:14,964 --> 00:11:17,299
in compliance with the law or at

179
00:11:17,299 --> 00:11:19,702
speed greater than is reasonable

180
00:11:19,702 --> 00:11:22,370
and prudent under the conditions

181
00:11:22,370 --> 00:11:24,437
then existing. Our officers

182
00:11:25,641 --> 00:11:27,243
have been work with the lieu

183
00:11:27,243 --> 00:11:30,780
department for I think a year

184
00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:32,414
and a half on this. So the law

185
00:11:32,414 --> 00:11:34,183
department has been incredible

186
00:11:34,183 --> 00:11:37,783
in doing their due diligence to

187
00:11:38,212 --> 00:11:38,291
make sure that we're still

188
00:11:38,291 --> 00:11:39,522
staying comply and the with law

189
00:11:39,522 --> 00:11:42,522
and keeping people safe, but

190
00:11:42,525 --> 00:11:43,759
we're not criminalizing over

191
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:45,759
criminalizing skateboarding when

192
00:11:45,895 --> 00:11:47,629
we're investing in skate parks

193
00:11:47,629 --> 00:11:50,629
and seeing here go skateboard

194
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,969
but here are all these offenses.

195
00:11:52,969 --> 00:11:54,570
So with that I will turn it over

196
00:11:54,570 --> 00:11:55,371
to councilmember jeffreys.

197
00:11:55,371 --> 00:11:57,771
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: a few

198
00:11:57,773 --> 00:12:01,373
things to adhere. So this is

199
00:12:02,979 --> 00:12:05,379
about making skateboarding more

200
00:12:05,848 --> 00:12:07,616
can be, if you vie light it you

201
00:12:07,616 --> 00:12:10,520
could have jail time which seems

202
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,721
over the top if you

203
00:12:11,721 --> 00:12:12,754
skateboarding it a

204
00:12:12,754 --> 00:12:15,458
administrative fine as it should

205
00:12:15,458 --> 00:12:19,487
be. It adds a few things which

206
00:12:19,487 --> 00:12:19,562
you mention zig-zagging, things

207
00:12:19,562 --> 00:12:21,163
like that are not safe and says

208
00:12:21,163 --> 00:12:22,732
says that's not reasonable and

209
00:12:22,732 --> 00:12:24,833
also speed. So we want to make

210
00:12:24,833 --> 00:12:27,403
sure that people are doing it

211
00:12:27,403 --> 00:12:28,604
responsibly but that it is also

212
00:12:28,604 --> 00:12:31,400
a mode of transportation for

213
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,208
folks who do want to do it. So,

214
00:12:33,208 --> 00:12:35,878
I think it is a good update to

215
00:12:35,878 --> 00:12:38,800
our code to make sure that it is

216
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,348
a now a mode of transportation

217
00:12:39,348 --> 00:12:41,217
for more people but also the

218
00:12:41,217 --> 00:12:43,753
people who do skateboard are

219
00:12:43,753 --> 00:12:47,353
mindful 6 doing it in a very

220
00:12:48,457 --> 00:12:49,291
responsible way.

221
00:12:49,291 --> 00:12:51,691
>> Councilmember Johnson: we do

222
00:12:52,161 --> 00:12:53,295
want to be more friendly in

223
00:12:53,295 --> 00:12:55,295
different modes of

224
00:12:55,297 --> 00:12:57,297
transportation, absolutely. But

225
00:12:57,366 --> 00:12:59,936
and I'm glad law is looking into

226
00:12:59,936 --> 00:13:02,338
it. But we also want to -- and

227
00:13:02,338 --> 00:13:04,907
said it, MR. CHAIRMAN, and I

228
00:13:04,907 --> 00:13:07,900
know you and MR. Jeffreys have

229
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:10,609
looked into this. But we want

230
00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:13,780
to make sure safety

231
00:13:17,186 --> 00:13:18,421
safeties the number 1 issue for both

232
00:13:18,421 --> 00:13:20,821
skateboarders and those still

233
00:13:21,230 --> 00:13:23,226
operating motor vehicles. We

234
00:13:23,226 --> 00:13:25,928
just don't want it -- I pray

235
00:13:25,928 --> 00:13:29,528
that we are making sure that

236
00:13:29,631 --> 00:13:30,733
even if we got to get back to

237
00:13:30,733 --> 00:13:33,133
skateboard lanes, fantastic, but

238
00:13:33,468 --> 00:13:34,971
we want to make sure that skate

239
00:13:34,971 --> 00:13:36,572
boarders and vehicles are not

240
00:13:36,572 --> 00:13:38,972
meeting each other because

241
00:13:39,375 --> 00:13:41,277
that's not going to be a good

242
00:13:41,277 --> 00:13:44,113
mix. That mix never wins. We

243
00:13:44,113 --> 00:13:47,650
don't win when cars meet cars,

244
00:13:47,650 --> 00:13:50,152
so I thank you, I'm all for

245
00:13:50,152 --> 00:13:51,521
making sure different modes of

246
00:13:51,521 --> 00:13:53,521
transportation and skateboarding

247
00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:57,693
is not a crime. As a police

248
00:13:57,693 --> 00:13:59,962
officer, years ago, it was

249
00:13:59,962 --> 00:14:01,998
ridiculous how some officers

250
00:14:01,998 --> 00:14:04,334
responded to skate boarders. I

251
00:14:04,334 --> 00:14:07,334
just pray that everybody is

252
00:14:08,237 --> 00:14:10,339
making sure safeties the number

253
00:14:10,339 --> 00:14:10,773
one issue. Thank you,

254
00:14:10,773 --> 00:14:11,541
MR. CHAIRMAN.

255
00:14:11,541 --> 00:14:12,808
>> Councilmember Harris: thank

256
00:14:12,808 --> 00:14:15,511
you, and I think and to your

257
00:14:15,511 --> 00:14:19,282
point one of the things that the

258
00:14:19,282 --> 00:14:20,549
law department did was add in

259
00:14:20,549 --> 00:14:22,549
additional language that

260
00:14:22,852 --> 00:14:25,721
actually defined that piece so

261
00:14:25,721 --> 00:14:26,455
that piece around zig-zagging if

262
00:14:26,455 --> 00:14:29,580
we're fought going to create

263
00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:31,360
this sort of space for it, what

264
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,963
we didn't provide was like what

265
00:14:33,963 --> 00:14:36,866
does it mean. So to your point,

266
00:14:36,866 --> 00:14:38,234
I think that was law

267
00:14:38,234 --> 00:14:40,436
department's very, they north

268
00:14:40,436 --> 00:14:42,905
star was like we do want to

269
00:14:42,905 --> 00:14:44,407
decriminalize it but we want to

270
00:14:44,407 --> 00:14:46,976
have very clear guidance on what

271
00:14:46,976 --> 00:14:49,679
is permissible, what isn't and

272
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:51,714
how folks should be operating.

273
00:14:51,714 --> 00:14:54,114
All right. Without objection

274
00:14:54,484 --> 00:14:54,817
we'll move item number 1 for

275
00:14:54,817 --> 00:14:56,817
passage.

276
00:14:56,889 --> 00:15:00,456
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

277
00:15:00,456 --> 00:15:01,224
number 2 is a ordinance from the

278
00:15:01,224 --> 00:15:03,426
finances didn't department this

279
00:15:03,426 --> 00:15:07,260
would establish a new fund, this

280
00:15:07,130 --> 00:15:09,365
would be general gust grands

281
00:15:09,365 --> 00:15:11,801
404. This would be utilized to

282
00:15:11,801 --> 00:15:14,136
account for revenue from various

283
00:15:14,136 --> 00:15:16,536
grant sources. Essentially due

284
00:15:17,674 --> 00:15:20,176
to the proliferation of grants

285
00:15:20,176 --> 00:15:21,778
the city has been receiving of

286
00:15:21,778 --> 00:15:24,480
late as well as some

287
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,880
prohibitions of putting grant

288
00:15:27,684 --> 00:15:30,386
funding not general fund this

289
00:15:30,386 --> 00:15:32,755
will help us seeing graph gate

290
00:15:32,755 --> 00:15:33,256
and track grant resources going

291
00:15:33,256 --> 00:15:34,560
moved.

292
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,358
>> Councilmember Harris: I love

293
00:15:35,358 --> 00:15:38,795
this is a new problem we have to

294
00:15:38,795 --> 00:15:40,997
deal with. So cued us to all of

295
00:15:40,997 --> 00:15:42,665
the departments for putting in

296
00:15:42,665 --> 00:15:45,535
the work and hustle that we have

297
00:15:45,535 --> 00:15:47,804
this many grants that we're

298
00:15:47,804 --> 00:15:49,338
managing and so that we actually

299
00:15:49,338 --> 00:15:51,307
have to amend our processes to

300
00:15:51,307 --> 00:15:53,443
support that. So, it is a good

301
00:15:53,443 --> 00:15:55,311
problem to have.

302
00:15:55,311 --> 00:15:56,446
>> Councilmember Albi: I want to

303
00:15:56,446 --> 00:15:58,915
emphasize what you said, this is

304
00:15:58,915 --> 00:16:00,450
a good problem to have, I'm

305
00:16:00,450 --> 00:16:01,985
grateful to everybody 1 in the

306
00:16:01,985 --> 00:16:03,419
vagues that's going after these

307
00:16:03,419 --> 00:16:04,921
grants to sure o serve our city

308
00:16:04,921 --> 00:16:06,723
and residents and amazing work

309
00:16:06,723 --> 00:16:08,224
to tap into these funding

310
00:16:08,224 --> 00:16:09,959
sources. So really glad this is

311
00:16:09,959 --> 00:16:12,610
going to be make that process

312
00:16:12,610 --> 00:16:13,463
more efficient and make it

313
00:16:13,463 --> 00:16:13,930
easier for our smaller

314
00:16:13,930 --> 00:16:15,165
departments to

315
00:16:15,165 --> 00:16:16,432
to be able to go

316
00:16:16,432 --> 00:16:19,432
after grant funding. Thank you

317
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:20,869
for bringing this.

318
00:16:20,869 --> 00:16:22,869
>> Councilmember Harris: without

319
00:16:22,871 --> 00:16:24,974
objection we'll move item number 2 for passage.

320
00:16:24,974 --> 00:16:27,100
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

321
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,679
number 3 is a grant ordinance

322
00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:30,647
from the department of city

323
00:16:30,647 --> 00:16:33,470
planning and engagement. This

324
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,755
is a 25,000-dollar grant it

325
00:16:38,755 --> 00:16:40,490
organize with the U.S.

326
00:16:40,490 --> 00:16:42,490
Department 69 interior and

327
00:16:42,959 --> 00:16:44,627
historic preservation fund which

328
00:16:44,627 --> 00:16:47,296
grant funding is passed through

329
00:16:47,296 --> 00:16:49,232
the ohio history connection

330
00:16:49,232 --> 00:16:50,867
certified local government grant

331
00:16:50,867 --> 00:16:53,737
program. The resources are to

332
00:16:53,737 --> 00:16:55,738
be used to develop a

333
00:16:55,738 --> 00:16:57,738
multiproperty, multiple property

334
00:16:57,874 --> 00:16:58,808
documentation form for the

335
00:16:58,808 --> 00:17:00,710
historic designation of

336
00:17:00,710 --> 00:17:02,479
cincinnati's brewery resources.

337
00:17:02,479 --> 00:17:05,748
And this will be the first grant

338
00:17:05,748 --> 00:17:08,748
ordinance that will utilize the

339
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:10,287
new general gust grants fund.

340
00:17:10,287 --> 00:17:11,688
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: so,

341
00:17:11,688 --> 00:17:13,656
let let me explain what this is.

342
00:17:13,656 --> 00:17:14,590
So we have been working for

343
00:17:14,590 --> 00:17:16,226
several months with people in

344
00:17:16,226 --> 00:17:18,626
the preservation community on

345
00:17:18,762 --> 00:17:21,162
this initiative. Which seems

346
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,867
kind of bizarre brewery tunnels

347
00:17:23,867 --> 00:17:26,200
but what uc shares with us is we

348
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,837
have more brewery tunnels than

349
00:17:27,837 --> 00:17:29,605
anywhere in the united states,

350
00:17:29,605 --> 00:17:31,374
maybe even the world. Why?

351
00:17:31,374 --> 00:17:33,543
because we have a laggerring

352
00:17:33,543 --> 00:17:36,543
industry. When we brewed lagger

353
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:38,348
beers you have to have a certain

354
00:17:38,348 --> 00:17:40,748
temperature and air conditioning

355
00:17:40,816 --> 00:17:42,452
wasn't around so we built out

356
00:17:42,452 --> 00:17:43,953
tunnels. St. Louis, milwaukee

357
00:17:43,953 --> 00:17:47,553
filled them in over time. We

358
00:17:47,557 --> 00:17:49,959
still have a lot of them. And

359
00:17:49,959 --> 00:17:52,595
this ordinance here is to apply

360
00:17:52,595 --> 00:17:53,997
for some grants to finish

361
00:17:53,997 --> 00:17:55,197
cataloging what those are. Why

362
00:17:55,197 --> 00:17:56,899
does it matter?

363
00:17:56,899 --> 00:17:59,402
So we would then apply for

364
00:17:59,402 --> 00:18:00,736
what's called a multisite

365
00:18:00,736 --> 00:18:02,939
designation engaging with the

366
00:18:02,939 --> 00:18:04,574
property owners, but this is a

367
00:18:04,574 --> 00:18:06,409
huge opportunity for the city.

368
00:18:06,409 --> 00:18:08,144
Think about this as a tourist

369
00:18:08,144 --> 00:18:11,247
already people come and tour the

370
00:18:11,247 --> 00:18:14,247
brewery tunnels, which are cool.

371
00:18:14,317 --> 00:18:16,319
You know, and organizations or

372
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:19,319
companies like ghost baby which

373
00:18:19,589 --> 00:18:20,724
if you haven't been to ghost

374
00:18:20,724 --> 00:18:23,260
baby it is amazing have

375
00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:25,228
commercial lized it. And it is

376
00:18:25,228 --> 00:18:27,163
a huge opportunity to.

377
00:18:27,163 --> 00:18:29,332
Protect these but then also

378
00:18:29,332 --> 00:18:31,568
ultimately create a new tourist

379
00:18:31,568 --> 00:18:32,669
even more robust tourist

380
00:18:32,669 --> 00:18:34,538
attraction that's something very

381

Who knows what we can can come

391
00:18:56,893 --> 00:18:58,962

392
00:18:58,962 --> 00:19:01,362
them into productive things.

393
00:19:01,965 --> 00:19:02,766
Thank you.

394
00:19:02,766 --> 00:19:04,766

00:19:08,338 --> 00:19:08,838
objection we'll move item number 3 for page passage.

396
00:19:08,838 --> 00:19:09,739

398
00:19:10,841 --> 00:19:12,675

authorizes the city manager and

kind contributions and other

405
00:19:23,153 --> 00:19:25,922
things of value from the

406
00:19:25,922 --> 00:19:27,624
business community, individual

407
00:19:27,624 --> 00:19:30,240
benefactors and other available

408
00:19:31,528 --> 00:19:34,331
sources. These would be used to

409
00:19:34,331 --> 00:19:36,700
facilitate the mind your

410
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:38,168
business mental health summit

411
00:19:38,168 --> 00:19:39,200
JUNE first.

412
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,402
>> Councilmember Harris: I think

413
00:19:42,873 --> 00:19:44,374
that's hilarious, minding your

414
00:19:44,374 --> 00:19:45,142
business, councilmember owens.

415
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:47,142
>> Councilmember Owens: thank

416
00:19:47,710 --> 00:19:49,112
you, sounds like we did the name

417
00:19:49,112 --> 00:19:51,547
justice. So yeah so mental

418
00:19:51,547 --> 00:19:53,984
health is such an important

419
00:19:53,984 --> 00:19:54,651
topic and anytime we elevate

420
00:19:54,651 --> 00:19:56,686
this conversation in the

421
00:19:56,686 --> 00:20:00,286
community we should do that. So

422
00:20:00,857 --> 00:20:02,359
coming offer heels of the just

423
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,760
bro tour, we want to continue

424
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,229
this. The city has, you know,

425
00:20:06,229 --> 00:20:08,498
we have the ability to convene

426
00:20:08,498 --> 00:20:10,767
and to continue to highlight the

427
00:20:10,767 --> 00:20:13,970
need. But taking it a step

428
00:20:13,970 --> 00:20:15,605
further where it is an event

429
00:20:15,605 --> 00:20:18,800
that's going to be based on

430
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,676
plenary sessions, fire side

431
00:20:19,676 --> 00:20:22,760
chat, all these opportunities

432
00:20:22,946 --> 00:20:25,150
around learning, ceu being able

433
00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:28,251
to people to benefit from that.

434
00:20:28,251 --> 00:20:29,952
So, education, destigmatizing

435
00:20:29,952 --> 00:20:31,655
families, suicide, all of these

436
00:20:31,655 --> 00:20:33,457
pieces. This related to item

437
00:20:33,457 --> 00:20:34,725
number 6, it will be at the

438
00:20:34,725 --> 00:20:36,993
freedom center. We are, would

439
00:20:36,993 --> 00:20:38,600
go in conjunction with the

440
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,600
mental health recovery board so

441
00:20:43,233 --> 00:20:43,967
it should be an exciting day.

442
00:20:43,967 --> 00:20:45,469
>> Councilmember Albi: thank

443
00:20:45,469 --> 00:20:46,503
you, well thank you

444
00:20:46,503 --> 00:20:48,903
councilmember owens for this

445
00:20:48,938 --> 00:20:50,107
mental health is so important.

446
00:20:50,107 --> 00:20:51,408
Mental health emotional well

447
00:20:51,408 --> 00:20:52,676
being all that being able to

448
00:20:52,676 --> 00:20:53,909
work through that is obviously

449
00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:56,113
important. So I would like to

450
00:20:56,113 --> 00:20:57,881
understand a little more

451
00:20:57,881 --> 00:20:59,449
procedurally how items 4 and 6

452
00:20:59,449 --> 00:21:00,651
work together. Is it

453
00:21:00,651 --> 00:21:03,200
essentially like the city is

454
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,754
like doing a loan for

455
00:21:04,754 --> 00:21:06,256
this/excellent and repayment?

456
00:21:06,256 --> 00:21:08,358
I don't know whoever can walk me

457
00:21:08,358 --> 00:21:09,159
through that process.

458
00:21:09,159 --> 00:21:11,328
>> Councilmember Owens: we will

459
00:21:11,328 --> 00:21:12,863
accept donations and item number 6 will allow us to get

460
00:21:12,863 --> 00:21:16,463
this event going. So that would

461
00:21:16,466 --> 00:21:17,301
be how it would work.

462
00:21:17,301 --> 00:21:18,768
>> Councilmember Albi: isn't I

463
00:21:18,768 --> 00:21:21,768
haven't something like this, so

464
00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:26,140
where do knows initial $20,000

465
00:21:26,176 --> 00:21:28,176
go?

466
00:21:28,178 --> 00:21:30,347
What is it paying for?

467
00:21:30,347 --> 00:21:33,947
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, to

468
00:21:34,510 --> 00:21:36,451
the councilmember, so item

469
00:21:36,486 --> 00:21:38,886
number 6 a laws essentially

470
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:41,990
utilizes resources from the

471
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:43,993
general fund balance seat

472
00:21:43,993 --> 00:21:46,993
reserve account and enables the

473
00:21:47,230 --> 00:21:49,700
city to have funding available

474
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:52,235
to do the certified contracts

475
00:21:52,235 --> 00:21:54,504
for speakers and any other costs

476
00:21:54,504 --> 00:21:56,572
related to that in advance of

477
00:21:56,572 --> 00:21:59,420
when the donations would be

478
00:21:59,420 --> 00:22:00,577
received. Once the donations

479
00:22:00,577 --> 00:22:03,577
are received, then that funding

480
00:22:03,847 --> 00:22:06,384
would be replenished. And item

481
00:22:06,384 --> 00:22:08,784
number 6 con taken legislation

482
00:22:09,152 --> 00:22:12,152
that would return the $20,000 to

483
00:22:13,390 --> 00:22:15,492
that reserve by JUNE 15th,

484
00:22:15,492 --> 00:22:17,892
assuming that donations are

485
00:22:18,462 --> 00:22:19,363
received in that amount.

486
00:22:19,363 --> 00:22:20,664
>> Councilmember Albi: so if I'm

487
00:22:20,664 --> 00:22:22,231
understanding correctly the up

488
00:22:22,231 --> 00:22:25,702
front costs are going mostly to

489
00:22:25,702 --> 00:22:27,371
speaker fees or rental fees for

490
00:22:27,371 --> 00:22:29,371
the space?

491
00:22:29,439 --> 00:22:29,873
>> DR. Dudas: yes, that's my

492
00:22:29,873 --> 00:22:30,674
understanding.

493
00:22:30,674 --> 00:22:32,750
>> Councilmember Albi: thank you

494
00:22:32,750 --> 00:22:33,910
so much. And then I'm sorry one

495
00:22:33,910 --> 00:22:35,712
more question because you said

496
00:22:35,712 --> 00:22:37,748
JUNE 15, that's the fundraising

497
00:22:37,748 --> 00:22:40,350
goal for item number 4 and if we

498
00:22:40,350 --> 00:22:41,685
MISS That deadline, does

499
00:22:41,685 --> 00:22:42,953
anything happen?

500
00:22:42,953 --> 00:22:45,722
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, to

501
00:22:45,722 --> 00:22:46,923
the councilmember, the ordinance

502
00:22:46,923 --> 00:22:49,393
returns the money from the

503
00:22:49,393 --> 00:22:51,394
general fund to the reserves so

504
00:22:51,394 --> 00:22:52,996
we would have to have an

505
00:22:52,996 --> 00:22:55,996
accounting of what was received

506
00:22:56,990 --> 00:22:57,701
versus what was spent. We have

507
00:22:57,701 --> 00:22:58,635
estimated $20,000 as the

508
00:22:58,635 --> 00:23:00,971
expenditures, we'll have to see

509
00:23:00,971 --> 00:23:02,773
what the final amount is and

510
00:23:02,773 --> 00:23:04,808
we'll have to see the final

511
00:23:04,808 --> 00:23:06,442
donation amount comes to to

512
00:23:06,442 --> 00:23:07,211
reconcile on JUNE 15th.

513
00:23:07,211 --> 00:23:08,412
>> Councilmember Albi: thank

514
00:23:08,412 --> 00:23:10,347
you. Appreciate that.

515
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:11,949
>> Councilmember Harris: so I

516
00:23:11,949 --> 00:23:14,349
think in general councilmember

517
00:23:14,951 --> 00:23:17,951
anna albi I planned 3 events.

518
00:23:18,589 --> 00:23:21,240
It always the timing is always a

519
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,559
challenge, but typically when

520
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:24,428
you fund raise it is -- even

521
00:23:24,428 --> 00:23:25,829
though we're the city, we have

522
00:23:25,829 --> 00:23:27,564
to pay for everything, pay for

523
00:23:27,564 --> 00:23:29,867
the use of the space, pay for

524
00:23:29,867 --> 00:23:32,569
the av, insurance costs, there

525
00:23:32,569 --> 00:23:36,169
is speaker costs, there is food

526
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,177
costs, there is crab rat and

527
00:23:40,177 --> 00:23:42,312
materials, so you will see in

528
00:23:42,312 --> 00:23:44,815
upcoming budget my office will

529
00:23:44,815 --> 00:23:46,183
have a budget request for black

530
00:23:46,183 --> 00:23:48,510
developers conference, but

531
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:49,420
that's because the timing

532
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:52,550
allowed for me to do it before.

533
00:23:52,550 --> 00:23:54,358
But just in terms of the being

534
00:23:54,358 --> 00:23:57,358
in the prey perimeters 6 costs

535
00:23:58,295 --> 00:24:00,300
for an event is well within what

536
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:00,831
that would cost.

537
00:24:00,831 --> 00:24:02,299
>> Councilmember Owens: yes, all

538
00:24:02,299 --> 00:24:03,433
of those items I thought were

539
00:24:03,433 --> 00:24:04,902
talking specific account

540
00:24:04,902 --> 00:24:06,236
numbers, but yeah, all those

541
00:24:06,236 --> 00:24:07,972
pieces will help us get this

542
00:24:07,972 --> 00:24:11,572
going. We will certainly not go

543
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:13,844
over budget with this event.

544
00:24:13,844 --> 00:24:15,179
>> Councilmember Harris: okay.

545
00:24:15,179 --> 00:24:17,140
We're talking about number 4

546
00:24:17,140 --> 00:24:19,216
without objection, item number 4

547
00:24:19,216 --> 00:24:19,550
we'll move item number 4 fore

548
00:24:19,550 --> 00:24:21,550
passage.

549
00:24:21,985 --> 00:24:25,356
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

550
00:24:25,356 --> 00:24:26,123
number 5 this is a transfer

551
00:24:26,123 --> 00:24:28,523
ordinance for councilmember anna

552
00:24:28,959 --> 00:24:31,610
albi. This would transfer $500,

553
00:24:31,610 --> 00:24:34,131
these are existing funds with in

554
00:24:34,131 --> 00:24:36,531
the councilmember's budget being

555
00:24:37,701 --> 00:24:40,101
transferred from personnel to

556
00:24:40,170 --> 00:24:41,338
non personnel for budget

557
00:24:41,338 --> 00:24:42,720
realignment purposes.

558
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,507
>> Councilmember Harris: all

559
00:24:43,507 --> 00:24:45,276
right. Without objection we'll

560
00:24:45,276 --> 00:24:48,276
move item number 5 for passage.

561
00:24:48,312 --> 00:24:51,282
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

562
00:24:51,282 --> 00:24:53,682
number 6 as previously discussed

563
00:24:53,684 --> 00:24:55,919
is the companion ordinance to

564
00:24:55,919 --> 00:24:56,720
item number 4 related to the

565
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,455
minding your business mental

566
00:24:58,455 --> 00:25:00,855
health summit this. Would

567
00:25:01,658 --> 00:25:04,580
utilize or transfer $20,000 from

568
00:25:04,361 --> 00:25:07,361
the general fund balance sheet

569
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:11,535
reserve reserve for budget

570
00:25:11,535 --> 00:25:13,804
contingency. And that as city

571
00:25:13,804 --> 00:25:16,204
manager's budget that would

572
00:25:16,407 --> 00:25:18,209
allow for certification of funds

573
00:25:18,209 --> 00:25:20,609
to various contracts and

574
00:25:22,213 --> 00:25:25,213
expenses related to the summit

575
00:25:25,215 --> 00:25:27,215
while fundraising continues.

576
00:25:28,850 --> 00:25:31,685
And then it does return those

577
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:36,727
dollars to source as of JUNE 15.

578
00:25:36,727 --> 00:25:37,610
>> Councilmember Harris: all

579
00:25:37,610 --> 00:25:37,894
right.

580
00:25:37,894 --> 00:25:39,960
>> Councilmember Owens: one more

581
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,696
thing to happen, it is happening

582
00:25:45,169 --> 00:25:45,970
JUNE 1 at the freedom center.

583
00:25:45,970 --> 00:25:47,338
>> Councilmember Harris: without

584
00:25:47,338 --> 00:25:50,207
objection we'll move item number 6 for passage.

585
00:25:50,207 --> 00:25:52,643
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

586
00:25:52,643 --> 00:25:55,790
number 7 this is the final

587
00:25:55,790 --> 00:25:56,881
adjustment ordinance for the yen

588
00:25:56,881 --> 00:25:59,115
year end for the general fund.

589
00:25:59,115 --> 00:26:02,115
So this does several things,

590
00:26:02,586 --> 00:26:04,986
primarily this authorizes the

591
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,960
transfer of $15 million with in

592
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,960
the general fund. The final

593
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,163
adjustment ordinance is the

594
00:26:13,163 --> 00:26:15,599
ordinance, the ordinances we do

595
00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:17,668
at the end of the year to ensure

596
00:26:17,668 --> 00:26:20,680
that all department accounts

597
00:26:20,371 --> 00:26:22,973
have enough funding to meet

598
00:26:22,973 --> 00:26:25,509
their expenses through the end

599
00:26:25,509 --> 00:26:28,746
of the fiscal year. In this

600
00:26:28,746 --> 00:26:32,283
case in the general fund of that

601
00:26:32,283 --> 00:26:34,151
$15.2 million that's being

602
00:26:34,151 --> 00:26:36,151
transferred, 9.7 million is

603
00:26:36,420 --> 00:26:38,220
within an operations those are

604
00:26:38,220 --> 00:26:39,291
existing and that transferred

605
00:26:39,291 --> 00:26:42,259
within departments or from one

606
00:26:42,259 --> 00:26:44,528
department to another. There is

607
00:26:44,528 --> 00:26:46,596
the remaining $5.5 million is

608
00:26:46,596 --> 00:26:47,798
what we would consider a

609
00:26:47,798 --> 00:26:49,798
supplemental appropriation, so

610
00:26:50,134 --> 00:26:52,603
this is above and beyond what

611
00:26:52,603 --> 00:26:55,603
was authorized in the general

612
00:26:56,273 --> 00:26:59,110
fund in the budget. Of that

613
00:26:59,110 --> 00:27:00,311
$5.5 million, police has a need

614
00:27:00,311 --> 00:27:03,911
of $1.8 million, and fire has a

615
00:27:04,382 --> 00:27:06,150
need of $3.8 million primarily

616
00:27:06,150 --> 00:27:08,519
related to over time expenses as

617
00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:11,355
we have documented in our

618
00:27:11,355 --> 00:27:13,355
monthly budget monitoring

619
00:27:13,491 --> 00:27:15,860
reports. This ordinance also

620
00:27:15,860 --> 00:27:18,260
accomplishes three other things,

621
00:27:19,230 --> 00:27:22,320
first is $591,000 in the fire

622
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,340
department budget that is being

623
00:27:23,340 --> 00:27:25,736
trans period from the general

624
00:27:25,736 --> 00:27:27,939
fund to the fire grants and

625
00:27:27,939 --> 00:27:30,410
donations fund. These funds

626
00:27:30,410 --> 00:27:31,575
were originated from a grant to

627
00:27:31,575 --> 00:27:34,478
provide resources for a health

628
00:27:34,478 --> 00:27:37,478
case worker and other expenses

629
00:27:37,481 --> 00:27:38,649
socialed with the social service

630
00:27:38,649 --> 00:27:39,717
outreach program. This will

631
00:27:39,717 --> 00:27:42,286
make those funds available so

632
00:27:42,286 --> 00:27:45,286
those services can continue past

633
00:27:46,357 --> 00:27:49,493
the end of the fiscal year. The

634
00:27:49,493 --> 00:27:51,562
second additional item is

635
00:27:51,562 --> 00:27:53,300
$200,000 that is being

636
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:55,430
transferred to the special

637
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,802
events fund. This will provide

638
00:27:58,802 --> 00:28:01,472
resources for summer in cincy

639
00:28:01,472 --> 00:28:03,140
programming to help reduce youth

640
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:04,876
violence since that's a summer

641
00:28:04,876 --> 00:28:06,210
program that crosses fiscal

642
00:28:06,210 --> 00:28:07,478
years so this will make those

643
00:28:07,478 --> 00:28:10,478
funds available for the entirety

644
00:28:10,514 --> 00:28:14,114
of the summer. And third there

645
00:28:14,785 --> 00:28:15,786
is a transfer and appropriation

646
00:28:15,786 --> 00:28:17,755
of $410,000 from the general

647
00:28:17,755 --> 00:28:20,910
fund to the existing capital

648
00:28:20,910 --> 00:28:21,759
improvement program project

649
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:24,695
account for the martin luther

650
00:28:24,695 --> 00:28:26,898
king junior monument. This will

651
00:28:26,898 --> 00:28:29,233
provide enough resources to

652
00:28:29,233 --> 00:28:31,235
complete the project based on

653
00:28:31,235 --> 00:28:34,235
current estimates for the scope

654
00:28:37,741 --> 00:28:39,741
of the project.

655
00:28:39,977 --> 00:28:40,478
>> Councilmember Harris: any

656
00:28:40,478 --> 00:28:41,946
questions?

657
00:28:41,946 --> 00:28:44,346
All right. Without objection

658
00:28:45,216 --> 00:28:45,583
we'll move item number 7 for

659
00:28:45,583 --> 00:28:46,551
passage.

660
00:28:46,551 --> 00:28:49,120
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

661
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,355
number 8 this is the final

662
00:28:51,355 --> 00:28:53,755
adjustment ordinance for the

663
00:28:53,924 --> 00:28:55,927
restricted funds so similar in

664
00:28:55,927 --> 00:28:57,994
concept but for the restricted

665
00:28:57,994 --> 00:29:00,994
funds. This will guarantee all

666
00:29:01,198 --> 00:29:03,634
of those funds have sufficient

667
00:29:03,634 --> 00:29:05,770
resources to make it to the end

668
00:29:05,770 --> 00:29:08,770
of the fiscal year. The

669
00:29:09,206 --> 00:29:11,206
restricted funds ordinance

670
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:14,779
transfers $8.7 million,

671
00:29:14,779 --> 00:29:16,147
$7.1 million so the vast

672
00:29:16,147 --> 00:29:17,281
majorities within an

673
00:29:17,281 --> 00:29:19,383
appropriations meaning those are

674
00:29:19,383 --> 00:29:22,383
existing funds that are being

675
00:29:22,386 --> 00:29:24,121
transferred within those funds

676
00:29:24,121 --> 00:29:26,557
from areas of savings to areas

677
00:29:26,557 --> 00:29:28,792
of needs. There are

678
00:29:28,792 --> 00:29:29,961
$1.7 million worth of

679
00:29:29,961 --> 00:29:31,961
supplemental appropriations,

680
00:29:32,997 --> 00:29:34,997
those supplemental

681
00:29:35,867 --> 00:29:37,702
appropriations cross 8 funds.

682
00:29:37,702 --> 00:29:39,537
The municipal golf fund needs

683
00:29:39,537 --> 00:29:41,439
additional resources due to wear

684
00:29:41,439 --> 00:29:45,639
and tear on the golf courses due

685
00:29:46,344 --> 00:29:48,346
to increased rounds of play.

686
00:29:48,346 --> 00:29:51,820
The storm water utility fund

687
00:29:51,820 --> 00:29:53,170
requires additional resources

688
00:29:53,170 --> 00:29:56,120
for a portion of the additional

689
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,120
costs of the city's recycling

690
00:29:59,156 --> 00:30:00,625
contract. And cincinnati

691
00:30:00,625 --> 00:30:02,625
recreation commission recreation

692
00:30:03,270 --> 00:30:03,928
special activities funds

693
00:30:03,928 --> 00:30:05,830
requires supplemental

694
00:30:05,830 --> 00:30:08,466
appropriation related to the a

695
00:30:08,466 --> 00:30:10,100
quality exhibit bonus and

696
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:11,569
recruitment plan that council

697
00:30:11,569 --> 00:30:13,404
put in the place last summer.

698
00:30:13,404 --> 00:30:16,404
So there will provide enough

699
00:30:16,974 --> 00:30:18,743
funds to cover those expenses.

700
00:30:18,743 --> 00:30:21,578
And five funds require minor

701
00:30:21,578 --> 00:30:23,578
adjustments for worker

702
00:30:25,483 --> 00:30:26,184
compensation insurance.

703
00:30:26,184 --> 00:30:26,784
>> Councilmember Harris:

704
00:30:26,784 --> 00:30:27,585
councilmember johnson?

705
00:30:27,585 --> 00:30:29,585
>> Councilmember Johnson: thank

706
00:30:29,721 --> 00:30:32,990
you, MR. CHAIRMAN, DR. Dudas I

707
00:30:32,990 --> 00:30:34,559
don't know if this question is

708
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:37,559
even answerable. How many years

709
00:30:39,163 --> 00:30:41,432
behind are we running in some of

710
00:30:41,432 --> 00:30:43,368
these maintenance issues?

711
00:30:43,368 --> 00:30:45,136
I mean, I do understand that you

712
00:30:45,136 --> 00:30:47,772
are getting more people out on

713
00:30:47,772 --> 00:30:49,340
our golf courses and things like

714
00:30:49,340 --> 00:30:50,775
that. But I'm just, I don't

715
00:30:50,775 --> 00:30:53,478
know like I said I don't know if

716
00:30:53,478 --> 00:30:57,780
that's a question that could be

717
00:30:57,282 --> 00:31:00,882
answered, but it is just amazing

718
00:31:01,653 --> 00:31:03,588
what has been left undone in

719
00:31:03,588 --> 00:31:05,423
this city.

720
00:31:05,423 --> 00:31:08,626
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, to

721
00:31:08,626 --> 00:31:11,462
the councilmember, for golf the

722
00:31:11,462 --> 00:31:13,970
both the revenues and expenses

723
00:31:13,970 --> 00:31:15,667
are the had municipal golf fund

724
00:31:15,667 --> 00:31:16,968
so it is self contained.

725
00:31:16,968 --> 00:31:19,537
Generally what happens is as

726
00:31:19,537 --> 00:31:21,171
rounds of play increase, which

727
00:31:21,171 --> 00:31:23,575
generates more wear and tear on

728
00:31:23,575 --> 00:31:25,420
the course, that also generates

729
00:31:25,420 --> 00:31:28,420
additional revenue in the fund.

730
00:31:28,246 --> 00:31:30,281
So what recreation does is

731
00:31:30,281 --> 00:31:32,850
assess the condition of the

732
00:31:32,850 --> 00:31:35,486
courses each year and as revenue

733
00:31:35,486 --> 00:31:37,221
is sufficient, utilizes that to

734
00:31:37,221 --> 00:31:40,221
keep the maintenance of the

735
00:31:40,358 --> 00:31:42,794
courses up. So it is in that

736
00:31:42,794 --> 00:31:44,528
fund it is more so year to year,

737
00:31:44,528 --> 00:31:48,728
at least in terms of keeping the

738
00:31:48,832 --> 00:31:50,832
courses play able.

739
00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:51,736
>> Councilmember Jeffreys:

740
00:31:51,736 --> 00:31:53,736
MR. CHAIRMAN?

741
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,542
I just a comment outtook

742
00:31:57,542 --> 00:31:59,243
on the

743
00:31:59,243 --> 00:32:01,780
aquatic's bonus for the last two

744
00:32:01,780 --> 00:32:03,181
or three years we haven't been

745
00:32:03,181 --> 00:32:04,515
able to hire enough life guards,

746
00:32:04,515 --> 00:32:06,450
it is awesome that we figure it

747
00:32:06,450 --> 00:32:08,519
had out and clearly we got the

748
00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:10,321
bone is right, staffing right,

749
00:32:10,321 --> 00:32:11,522
so kudos to crc and the

750
00:32:11,522 --> 00:32:13,424
administration for working it.

751
00:32:13,424 --> 00:32:14,859
it is a lot of hard work to make

752
00:32:14,859 --> 00:32:18,459
sure we have the life guards,

753
00:32:18,596 --> 00:32:21,165
but the fact that we have the

754
00:32:21,165 --> 00:32:22,633
aquatic's bonus and it enables

755
00:32:22,633 --> 00:32:24,101
us to hire people means the

756
00:32:24,101 --> 00:32:24,969
pools can be open. So

757
00:32:24,969 --> 00:32:27,369
congratulations and thank you

758
00:32:30,608 --> 00:32:32,210
for all of your work.

759
00:32:32,210 --> 00:32:34,210
>> Councilmember Harris: 24 in

760
00:32:35,246 --> 00:32:37,246
24!. Without objection we'll

761
00:32:37,481 --> 00:32:39,483
move item number 8 for passage.

762
00:32:39,483 --> 00:32:42,753
>> DR. Dudas: item number 9 is a

763
00:32:42,753 --> 00:32:43,387
legislative resolution from the

764
00:32:43,387 --> 00:32:44,288
department department of

765
00:32:44,288 --> 00:32:46,288
transportation and engineering

766
00:32:47,910 --> 00:32:48,626
as part of the 2023 sidewalk

767
00:32:48,626 --> 00:32:51,260
safety program. This resolution

768
00:32:51,228 --> 00:32:53,640
declares the need for emergency

769
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,433
repairs that have already been

770
00:32:55,433 --> 00:32:57,534
made to sidewalks, curbs, and/or

771
00:32:57,534 --> 00:32:58,702
gutters at a variety of

772
00:32:58,702 --> 00:33:01,720
locations and allows for the

773
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,720
city to levy property tax

774
00:33:05,777 --> 00:33:07,780
assessment for the cost of those

775
00:33:07,780 --> 00:33:09,478
repairs. So property owners

776
00:33:09,981 --> 00:33:11,582
were noticed of the need to make

777
00:33:11,582 --> 00:33:13,484
repairs, having not made those

778
00:33:13,484 --> 00:33:16,187
repairs the work was completed

779
00:33:16,187 --> 00:33:19,757
by the city. So this resolution

780
00:33:19,757 --> 00:33:22,757
would levy the assessment to

781
00:33:22,860 --> 00:33:24,963
collect on those repairs. In

782
00:33:24,963 --> 00:33:27,363
all, there is 132 parcels

783
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,400
identified for total of

784
00:33:32,871 --> 00:33:33,604
$257,000.

785
00:33:33,604 --> 00:33:34,773
>> Councilmember Harris: all

786
00:33:34,773 --> 00:33:37,173
right. Without objection we'll

787
00:33:37,175 --> 00:33:39,877
move item number 9 for passage.

788
00:33:39,877 --> 00:33:43,314
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

789
00:33:43,314 --> 00:33:44,916
number 10 this is a report,

790
00:33:44,916 --> 00:33:48,516
these next three items relate to

791
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,520
the urban forestry assessment.

792
00:33:52,490 --> 00:33:54,392
We have just for a refresher

793
00:33:54,392 --> 00:33:55,894
step 1 has already been

794
00:33:55,894 --> 00:33:58,894
completed to move forward with

795
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,430
the forestry assessment. There

796
00:34:04,335 --> 00:34:05,370
were objections to that

797
00:34:05,370 --> 00:34:06,671
assessment. And council

798
00:34:06,671 --> 00:34:08,940
authorized the creation of the

799
00:34:08,940 --> 00:34:10,940
urban forestry program

800
00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:13,750
assessment equalization board

801
00:34:15,460 --> 00:34:16,648
which met on APRIL 30 to hear

802
00:34:16,648 --> 00:34:19,480
the objection the. The

803
00:34:19,351 --> 00:34:20,951
objection came from csx railroad

804
00:34:20,951 --> 00:34:22,454
for nine parcels. This report

805
00:34:22,454 --> 00:34:24,589
details the finding of the board

806
00:34:24,589 --> 00:34:27,589
which was to maintain the

807
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,328
assessment as currently

808
00:34:30,328 --> 00:34:32,728
configured. The ohio revised

809
00:34:33,465 --> 00:34:36,465
code does require approval of

810
00:34:36,635 --> 00:34:40,235
this report before taking on the

811
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,110
next two steps in the urban

812
00:34:45,110 --> 00:34:45,911
forestry assessment process.

813
00:34:45,911 --> 00:34:47,711
>> Councilmember Harris: seeing

814
00:34:47,711 --> 00:34:49,881
no objection we'll approve and

815
00:34:49,881 --> 00:34:51,650
file item number 10.

816
00:34:51,650 --> 00:34:55,250
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

817
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:58,720
number 11 this is the ordinance

818
00:34:59,858 --> 00:35:00,826
that would carry out step 2 of

819
00:35:00,826 --> 00:35:02,360
the urban forestry assessment

820
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,760
process. So this ordinance

821
00:35:06,131 --> 00:35:07,980
would determine to proper seatd

822
00:35:07,980 --> 00:35:09,498
with special assessment for

823
00:35:10,902 --> 00:35:13,302
calendar year 2025 for that

824
00:35:15,974 --> 00:35:16,775
urban forestry assessment.

825
00:35:16,775 --> 00:35:18,677
>> Councilmember Harris: without

826
00:35:18,677 --> 00:35:20,212
objection we'll move item number 11 for passage.

827
00:35:20,212 --> 00:35:23,812
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

828
00:35:23,882 --> 00:35:25,317
number 12 this is the third and

829
00:35:25,317 --> 00:35:28,719
final step in the urban forestry

830
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,422
assessment process. This would

831
00:35:30,422 --> 00:35:33,422
levy the special assessment for

832
00:35:34,459 --> 00:35:35,160
calendar year five.

833
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,561
>> Councilmember Harris:

834
00:35:36,561 --> 00:35:38,561
>> Councilmember Harris: without

835
00:35:40,431 --> 00:35:43,334
objection we'll move item number 13, item number 12,

836
00:35:43,334 --> 00:35:45,404
miskeeping ahead, for passage.

837
00:35:45,404 --> 00:35:47,939
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

838
00:35:47,939 --> 00:35:51,143
number 13 is a report. This is

839
00:35:51,143 --> 00:35:53,278
a report related to a council

840
00:35:53,278 --> 00:35:55,678
motion that requested an

841
00:35:55,713 --> 00:35:58,517
analysis of the feasibility of

842
00:35:58,517 --> 00:36:01,185
the ault park fourth of JULY

843
00:36:01,185 --> 00:36:03,185
fireworks continuity. The

844
00:36:04,455 --> 00:36:06,855
report outlines three options.

845
00:36:08,827 --> 00:36:13,270
One, which is to continue with a

846
00:36:14,399 --> 00:36:16,802
con sorb crumb or essentially

847
00:36:16,802 --> 00:36:18,802
reassume community group

848
00:36:20,380 --> 00:36:22,438
managing the process. Second

849
00:36:24,780 --> 00:36:24,156
option would be for parks

850
00:36:24,156 --> 00:36:26,110
department to self proper dues

851
00:36:26,110 --> 00:36:29,110
the fireworks celebration at a

852
00:36:30,349 --> 00:36:32,749
cost of about $32,000 annually.

853
00:36:34,853 --> 00:36:37,989
Or three, do a hybrid model with

854
00:36:37,989 --> 00:36:40,389
community fundraising and parks

855
00:36:41,827 --> 00:36:43,827
producing the fireworks

856
00:36:44,930 --> 00:36:46,564
celebration.

857
00:36:46,564 --> 00:36:47,365
>> thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN, I

858
00:36:47,365 --> 00:36:48,433
want to thank parks department

859
00:36:48,433 --> 00:36:49,834
for putting this report

860
00:36:49,834 --> 00:36:51,570
together. They have worked in

861
00:36:51,570 --> 00:36:53,710
lock step with my office in

862
00:36:53,710 --> 00:36:54,639
having conversations with the

863
00:36:54,639 --> 00:36:57,750
various community groups to get

864
00:36:57,750 --> 00:37:01,460
a solid late of the land of what

865
00:37:01,460 --> 00:37:02,848
is happening and the high try

866
00:37:02,848 --> 00:37:04,515
history. At this time we have a

867
00:37:04,515 --> 00:37:07,520
plan to execute over the next

868
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,187
plan between the parks

869
00:37:09,187 --> 00:37:10,322
department and my offers to

870
00:37:10,322 --> 00:37:11,857
chase down the feasibility.

871
00:37:11,857 --> 00:37:13,525
We're not seeking money from to

872
00:37:13,525 --> 00:37:14,893
council at this point. That's

873
00:37:14,893 --> 00:37:15,527
not part of the game plan we

874
00:37:15,527 --> 00:37:16,995
have here.

875
00:37:16,995 --> 00:37:18,297
Nine initial plan that we

876
00:37:18,297 --> 00:37:20,697
understand from the stakeholders

877
00:37:22,634 --> 00:37:25,571
is that the fund fundraising is

878
00:37:25,571 --> 00:37:27,105
still possible to make it a

879
00:37:27,105 --> 00:37:28,974
reality. It has has a shored

880
00:37:28,974 --> 00:37:30,809
deadline to make JULY 4 work.

881
00:37:30,809 --> 00:37:32,510
We're working and a long term

882
00:37:32,510 --> 00:37:34,413
plan to ultimately hand this

883
00:37:34,413 --> 00:37:36,314
back to the community to make

884
00:37:36,314 --> 00:37:38,160
this sustainable. What's going

885
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,851
gone on with this event it has

886
00:37:39,851 --> 00:37:43,188
expend run by the same group of

887
00:37:43,188 --> 00:37:45,590
volunteers for decades and the

888
00:37:45,590 --> 00:37:47,993
next wave hasn't stepped up yet.

889
00:37:47,993 --> 00:37:50,896
This is a call to action for

890
00:37:50,896 --> 00:37:53,265
them to do so. Anyone who has

891
00:37:53,265 --> 00:37:54,899
interest in this reach out to my

892
00:37:54,899 --> 00:37:57,299
office and parks department.

893
00:37:57,503 --> 00:37:58,771
The time line is very tight but

894
00:37:58,771 --> 00:38:00,472
hopefully we'll be back to you

895
00:38:00,472 --> 00:38:01,907
with what the next steps are.

896
00:38:01,907 --> 00:38:03,175
But again I know there has been

897
00:38:03,175 --> 00:38:04,309
concerns we're going to ask

898
00:38:04,309 --> 00:38:05,711
council to pay for this. That's

899
00:38:05,711 --> 00:38:07,479
not the plan at this stage. It

900
00:38:07,479 --> 00:38:10,315
is to help support the

901
00:38:10,315 --> 00:38:11,984
community, make it through this

902
00:38:11,984 --> 00:38:12,818
bridge year.

903
00:38:12,818 --> 00:38:15,218
>> Councilmember Harris: glad to

904
00:38:15,386 --> 00:38:18,986
hear that. Also glad to hear

905
00:38:19,591 --> 00:38:21,460
parks band width won't be

906
00:38:21,460 --> 00:38:21,993
strained. All right. What's

907
00:38:21,993 --> 00:38:23,595
that 13?

908
00:38:23,595 --> 00:38:27,195
That's a report, right so we'll

909
00:38:28,467 --> 00:38:28,834
approve and file that. Item

910
00:38:28,834 --> 00:38:30,834
number 14.

911
00:38:32,171 --> 00:38:33,739
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

912
00:38:33,739 --> 00:38:35,641
number 14 is a motion. This was

913
00:38:35,641 --> 00:38:38,410
sub petted by councilmember

914
00:38:38,477 --> 00:38:41,280
jeffreys, parks, walsh and anna

915
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,482
albi, this is request for a

916
00:38:43,482 --> 00:38:46,482
report to understand the makeup

917
00:38:46,752 --> 00:38:47,952
of the boots on the ground work

918
00:38:47,952 --> 00:38:50,255
force in city projects,

919
00:38:50,255 --> 00:38:52,655
essentially this would you'll

920
00:38:53,225 --> 00:38:54,927
liz payroll data to inform

921
00:38:54,927 --> 00:38:57,529
worker inclusion so looking at

922
00:38:57,529 --> 00:38:58,831
the workers on city projects

923
00:38:58,831 --> 00:39:01,831
specific jobs and projects with

924
00:39:03,134 --> 00:39:05,904
the city and how does that mesh

925
00:39:05,904 --> 00:39:06,739
with the minority women business

926
00:39:06,739 --> 00:39:07,505
enterprise goals.

927
00:39:07,505 --> 00:39:09,905
>> Councilmember Harris: I was

928
00:39:10,909 --> 00:39:13,479
so confused by this report last

929
00:39:13,479 --> 00:39:14,213
week because I immediately

930
00:39:14,213 --> 00:39:16,615
thought about the boots on the

931
00:39:16,615 --> 00:39:19,840
ground fund and finally we did

932
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,186
our report out and we did our

933
00:39:21,186 --> 00:39:23,155
meeting they made it but I could

934
00:39:23,155 --> 00:39:25,290
not wrap my hand around what you

935
00:39:25,290 --> 00:39:26,692
were asking. Now it is all

936
00:39:26,692 --> 00:39:27,525
clear, councilmember jeffreys.

937
00:39:27,525 --> 00:39:29,925
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: so we

938
00:39:30,396 --> 00:39:33,396
have been working with her

939
00:39:33,399 --> 00:39:36,999
office on this for sometime. It

940
00:39:37,429 --> 00:39:37,514
started with like we as a city

941
00:39:37,514 --> 00:39:39,338
have goals for minority

942
00:39:39,338 --> 00:39:41,840
inclusion in terms of who owns

943
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,430
the business, but we don't have

944
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:47,913
any goals for on any job site

945
00:39:47,913 --> 00:39:49,114
how many minority or women

946
00:39:49,114 --> 00:39:51,417
workers, browned, are actually

947
00:39:51,417 --> 00:39:52,984
on the site. So if we ask today

948
00:39:52,984 --> 00:39:54,553
a hundred people on a

949
00:39:54,553 --> 00:39:56,588
construction site, how many are

950
00:39:56,588 --> 00:39:58,390
win and minorities, we have no

951
00:39:58,390 --> 00:40:00,659
idea. And so we don't measure

952
00:40:00,659 --> 00:40:03,620
that. So we looked at a bunch

953
00:40:03,620 --> 00:40:06,620
of different options. The best

954
00:40:06,198 --> 00:40:08,433
is certified payroll, it is a

955
00:40:08,433 --> 00:40:10,350
contractor certifies literally

956
00:40:10,350 --> 00:40:11,402
by the individual, the

957
00:40:11,402 --> 00:40:12,871
individual fil sow where do they

958
00:40:12,871 --> 00:40:15,274
live, do they live in the city,

959
00:40:15,274 --> 00:40:16,842
outside the city, in a different

960
00:40:16,842 --> 00:40:19,842
state, are they minority, women,

961
00:40:20,546 --> 00:40:22,247
et cetera. And we're able to

962
00:40:22,247 --> 00:40:24,183
therefore understand what

963
00:40:24,183 --> 00:40:26,583
percentage minorities on all

964
00:40:26,652 --> 00:40:27,953
trades and projects are on city

965
00:40:27,953 --> 00:40:30,121
prevailing wage projects, how

966
00:40:30,121 --> 00:40:32,524
many are women, how many live in

967
00:40:32,524 --> 00:40:35,270
the city or out side the city,

968
00:40:35,270 --> 00:40:36,762
union, non union. At goal of

969
00:40:36,762 --> 00:40:39,640
this is to, you know, the whole

970
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:40,999
idea of what gets measured gets

971
00:40:40,999 --> 00:40:44,236
done. If we're not measuring it

972
00:40:44,236 --> 00:40:45,571
we have no idea how many women

973
00:40:45,571 --> 00:40:47,139
or minorities are on this we

974
00:40:47,139 --> 00:40:49,539
can't measure progress. It

975
00:40:49,675 --> 00:40:51,944
might only be 5 or 10% in which

976
00:40:51,944 --> 00:40:53,979
case we say how can we through

977
00:40:53,979 --> 00:40:55,979
building futures, other

978
00:40:56,715 --> 00:40:58,417
initiatives build up the number

979
00:40:58,417 --> 00:41:00,486
of minorities and women on these

980
00:41:00,486 --> 00:41:02,320
contracts. So that's the goal.

981
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,354
So they are able to produce this

982
00:41:03,354 --> 00:41:05,724
report because we have been

983
00:41:05,724 --> 00:41:08,724
working with them. This code

984
00:41:08,893 --> 00:41:10,495
notifies it and it will be super

985
00:41:10,495 --> 00:41:12,464
helpful. We hear often the

986
00:41:12,464 --> 00:41:13,566
unions talk about a lot of folks

987
00:41:13,566 --> 00:41:14,900
coming in from tennessee and

988
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:17,602
other places. This will be able

989
00:41:17,602 --> 00:41:19,338
to get the data to show how many

990
00:41:19,338 --> 00:41:20,539
people are, woulding on city

991
00:41:20,539 --> 00:41:22,507
projects, who live in the city,

992
00:41:22,507 --> 00:41:24,709
outside the city, or outside the

993
00:41:24,709 --> 00:41:28,909
state and be able to set goals

994
00:41:29,348 --> 00:41:30,149
as a result.

995
00:41:30,149 --> 00:41:31,917
>> Councilmember Johnson: thank

996
00:41:31,917 --> 00:41:34,317
you for that clarification

997
00:41:35,887 --> 00:41:36,955
because I was, I'm like I was

998
00:41:36,955 --> 00:41:39,891
confused. But and like I said,

999
00:41:39,891 --> 00:41:41,593
thank you for that

1000
00:41:41,593 --> 00:41:42,528
clarification. With this we're

1001
00:41:42,528 --> 00:41:45,300
going, it sounds like we're

1002
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:48,630
going to break this down not

1003
00:41:49,235 --> 00:41:51,770
only women owned but black,

1004
00:41:51,770 --> 00:41:55,370
because minority is a broad term

1005
00:41:55,374 --> 00:41:56,642
and a lot of times women owned

1006
00:41:56,642 --> 00:41:58,243
businesses are classified, they

1007
00:41:58,243 --> 00:42:00,246
are classified as minority

1008
00:42:00,246 --> 00:42:01,113
businesses, so when you say

1009
00:42:01,113 --> 00:42:04,113
minority, are we breaking this

1010
00:42:04,816 --> 00:42:08,754
down to see how many blacks, are

1011
00:42:08,754 --> 00:42:09,154
on these jobs, et cetera, et

1012
00:42:09,154 --> 00:42:09,988
cetera?

1013
00:42:09,988 --> 00:42:11,857
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: so it

1014
00:42:11,857 --> 00:42:13,359
is less about the business owner

1015
00:42:13,359 --> 00:42:15,527
than like how many people, so

1016
00:42:15,527 --> 00:42:17,463
let's say they are electricians,

1017
00:42:17,463 --> 00:42:19,431
of the hundred electricians how

1018
00:42:19,431 --> 00:42:21,633
many are minority versus women?

1019
00:42:21,633 --> 00:42:23,869
I think we can break it down

1020
00:42:23,869 --> 00:42:26,500
even further like minority in

1021
00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:27,406
terms of his pack panic or

1022
00:42:27,406 --> 00:42:29,750
african-american or other if

1023
00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:31,243
that's desired, I think the goal

1024
00:42:31,243 --> 00:42:32,744
first was just get the helps

1025
00:42:32,744 --> 00:42:35,580
measure. If you have, you know,

1026
00:42:35,580 --> 00:42:37,583
a thousand laborers on a job,

1027
00:42:37,583 --> 00:42:40,319
how many are minority, how many

1028
00:42:40,319 --> 00:42:41,886
are women is what's coming back.

1029
00:42:41,886 --> 00:42:44,456
>> I thank you for that a lot of

1030
00:42:44,456 --> 00:42:46,392
times, I get it minority women

1031
00:42:46,392 --> 00:42:48,327
are considered a minority, but

1032
00:42:48,327 --> 00:42:50,295
if we are going to dive into

1033
00:42:50,295 --> 00:42:51,597
this, I would like to so a break

1034
00:42:51,597 --> 00:42:53,398
down like I said I appreciate

1035
00:42:53,398 --> 00:42:54,567
what you are doing, I do, I

1036
00:42:54,567 --> 00:42:56,350
appreciate this motion all the

1037
00:42:56,350 --> 00:42:58,938
way around but if we're going to

1038
00:42:58,938 --> 00:43:03,138
dive into break it down, then it

1039
00:43:03,375 --> 00:43:06,845
needs to be broke down to women,

1040
00:43:06,845 --> 00:43:07,579
blacks, et cetera, et cetera.

1041
00:43:07,579 --> 00:43:08,647
>> Councilmember Jeffreys:

1042
00:43:08,647 --> 00:43:09,782
totally, think it is a great

1043
00:43:09,782 --> 00:43:12,184
point and the administration is

1044
00:43:12,184 --> 00:43:12,918
hearing that and can reflect

1045
00:43:12,918 --> 00:43:13,752
that.

1046
00:43:13,752 --> 00:43:16,890
>> Councilmember Harris: yeah, I

1047
00:43:16,890 --> 00:43:18,230
think this report is really

1048
00:43:18,230 --> 00:43:20,960
smart because I have often

1049
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:21,827
wondered if we're talking

1050
00:43:21,827 --> 00:43:23,896
impact, I've always thought

1051
00:43:23,896 --> 00:43:26,264
about a situation in which what

1052
00:43:26,264 --> 00:43:29,501
happens if you might have let's

1053
00:43:29,501 --> 00:43:31,403
say a predominantly white

1054
00:43:31,403 --> 00:43:33,803
institution but their employment

1055
00:43:35,410 --> 00:43:36,641
is 40% or 50%, right?

1056
00:43:36,641 --> 00:43:39,440
So minority or women, that has

1057
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,580
still has a positive impact and

1058
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:45,830
to to know that we can measure

1059
00:43:45,830 --> 00:43:46,785
both ownership but also actual

1060
00:43:46,785 --> 00:43:49,655
jobs on the ground I think is

1061
00:43:49,655 --> 00:43:52,290
really smart as well. It gets

1062
00:43:52,290 --> 00:43:54,159
us to our goals I think in/more

1063
00:43:54,159 --> 00:43:54,860
comprehensive way.

1064
00:43:54,860 --> 00:43:55,795
Councilmember anna albi?

1065
00:43:55,795 --> 00:43:58,195
>> Councilmember Albi: I wanted

1066
00:43:58,631 --> 00:43:59,565
to highlight we've got some big

1067
00:43:59,565 --> 00:44:00,699
projects cotyle up in the city,

1068
00:44:00,699 --> 00:44:03,302
right, that are going to be fall

1069
00:44:03,302 --> 00:44:05,710
into this budget. So being

1070
00:44:05,710 --> 00:44:06,605
able, I'm very intrigued by who

1071
00:44:06,605 --> 00:44:07,940
lives in the city. We're

1072
00:44:07,940 --> 00:44:09,608
bringing good paying jobs to the

1073
00:44:09,608 --> 00:44:09,975
city, are they staffed by

1074
00:44:09,975 --> 00:44:10,810
residents?

1075
00:44:10,810 --> 00:44:14,410
So that's something I know I

1076
00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:18,170
will be looking out for in this

1077
00:44:18,170 --> 00:44:19,840
report.

1078
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,840
>> Councilmember Harris: without

1079
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:29,456
objection we'll move item number 14 for -- yeah item

1080
00:44:30,429 --> 00:44:30,729
number 14 for passage. Anything

1081
00:44:30,729 --> 00:44:32,665
else?

1082
00:44:32,665 --> 00:44:33,320
All right, this meeting is

1083
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:33,966
adjourned.

1084
00:44:33,966 --> 00:44:34,667
-captioning questions call

1085
00:44:34,667 --> 00:44:37,670
