00:13:17,962 --> 00:13:19,898
on their contract related to

194
00:13:19,898 --> 00:13:21,899
residential recycling and there

195
00:13:21,899 --> 00:13:25,499
are existing funds in the oes

196
00:13:26,271 --> 00:13:29,207
budget to make this payment.

197
00:13:29,207 --> 00:13:31,207
>> Councilmember Harris: great,

198
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:32,977
this is item number 5?

199
00:13:32,977 --> 00:13:33,945
Yes?

200
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,345
all right without objection

201
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,160
we'll move item number 5 for

202
00:13:41,190 --> 00:13:43,190
passage.

203
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:50,460
>> DR. Dudas:

204
00:13:50,962 --> 00:13:55,162
>> DR. Dudas: I have lost a page

205
00:13:58,937 --> 00:14:00,305
of my agenda. Pardon me. Item

206
00:14:00,305 --> 00:14:01,106
number 6 is a --

207
00:14:01,106 --> 00:14:02,707
>> Councilmember Harris: did you

208
00:14:02,707 --> 00:14:04,876
know that you have never had a

209
00:14:04,876 --> 00:14:08,476
MISS Step before, have I never

210
00:14:09,180 --> 00:14:11,449
seen that happen that you have

211
00:14:11,449 --> 00:14:14,486
lost an agenda page. So we're

212
00:14:14,486 --> 00:14:18,489
just going to forget that is a

213
00:14:18,489 --> 00:14:20,892
blip, as clit much in the

214
00:14:20,892 --> 00:14:22,892
matrics. Okay.

215
00:14:24,195 --> 00:14:25,563
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

216
00:14:25,563 --> 00:14:27,298
number 6 is a special assessment

217
00:14:27,298 --> 00:14:28,966
ordinance. This is for street

218
00:14:28,966 --> 00:14:30,701
lighting. This would be for

219
00:14:30,701 --> 00:14:33,505
lighting group 1, this is the

220
00:14:33,505 --> 00:14:34,805
second step in the 3 step

221
00:14:34,805 --> 00:14:37,205
process. This would determine

222
00:14:37,575 --> 00:14:38,677
to proceed with the street

223
00:14:38,677 --> 00:14:41,770
lighting assessment for that

224
00:14:41,746 --> 00:14:44,146
lighting group 1. Step 1 was

225
00:14:46,751 --> 00:14:47,452
approved by council in MARCH.

226
00:14:47,452 --> 00:14:49,540
>> Councilmember Harris:

227
00:14:49,540 --> 00:14:49,855
councilmember johnson?

228
00:14:49,855 --> 00:14:51,855
>> Councilmember Johnson: thank

229
00:14:53,558 --> 00:14:56,610
you. If you could help me out,

230
00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:58,461
where is group 1 located?

231
00:15:01,967 --> 00:15:02,801
Or does the chair remember?

232
00:15:02,801 --> 00:15:03,668
>> Councilmember Harris: so, no,

233
00:15:03,668 --> 00:15:05,403
DR. Dudas, you take it I was

234
00:15:05,403 --> 00:15:07,839
going to answer a different

235
00:15:07,839 --> 00:15:09,839
question, but yes.

236
00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:11,976
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, the

237
00:15:11,976 --> 00:15:13,976
lighting group 1 includes

238
00:15:14,479 --> 00:15:17,479
streets in avondale, bond hill,

239
00:15:17,481 --> 00:15:19,518
clifton, college hill, cuf, east

240
00:15:19,518 --> 00:15:21,453
walnut hills, hyde park, kennedy

241
00:15:21,453 --> 00:15:23,853
heights, mount lookout, north

242
00:15:24,222 --> 00:15:25,690
avondale, oakley, pleasant

243
00:15:25,690 --> 00:15:27,725
ridge, south fairmont. West

244
00:15:27,725 --> 00:15:28,760
price hill and westwood.

245
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,195
>> Councilmember Johnson: thank

246
00:15:30,195 --> 00:15:30,996
you very much.

247
00:15:30,996 --> 00:15:32,996
>> Councilmember Harris: that's

248
00:15:34,650 --> 00:15:35,533
a great question. Just to be

249
00:15:35,533 --> 00:15:39,133
clear for folks who might be

250
00:15:40,539 --> 00:15:42,374
tuning in. There are a number

251
00:15:42,374 --> 00:15:44,774
of street lighting fixtures

252
00:15:45,176 --> 00:15:47,979
around our city that are not

253
00:15:47,979 --> 00:15:48,980
owned by the city. But it is

254
00:15:48,980 --> 00:15:50,980
their responsibility to

255
00:15:51,416 --> 00:15:55,160
maintain. So I think a good

256
00:15:55,887 --> 00:15:56,788
example is cincinnati

257
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:57,923
metropolitan housing authority

258
00:15:57,923 --> 00:16:00,325
they have street fixtures that

259
00:16:00,325 --> 00:16:01,660
are obviously illuminate public

260
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:02,894
spaces but they are the

261
00:16:02,894 --> 00:16:04,894
responsibility to maintain.

262
00:16:05,330 --> 00:16:06,865
This is the assessment of those

263
00:16:06,865 --> 00:16:08,667
fixtures that are not maintained

264
00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:10,302
by the city and then we do them

265
00:16:10,302 --> 00:16:13,738
in sort of zones because we have

266
00:16:13,738 --> 00:16:17,338
a big city. All right. Without

267
00:16:17,542 --> 00:16:20,110
objection we'll move item number 6 for passage.

268
00:16:20,110 --> 00:16:22,180
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

269
00:16:22,180 --> 00:16:24,648
number 7 this is the third step

270
00:16:24,648 --> 00:16:26,184
of that special assessment

271
00:16:26,184 --> 00:16:28,453
process for straight lighting

272
00:16:28,453 --> 00:16:30,722
group 1. This is the third and

273
00:16:30,722 --> 00:16:34,322
final step which would be to

274
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,194
authorizes the levying of the

275
00:16:36,194 --> 00:16:36,962
assessments.

276
00:16:36,962 --> 00:16:37,829
>> Councilmember Harris: all

277
00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:39,931
right w out objection we'll move

278
00:16:39,931 --> 00:16:42,331
item number 7 for passage.

279
00:16:42,968 --> 00:16:46,568
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

280
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,974
number 8 the next self items are

281
00:16:48,974 --> 00:16:49,807
entitlement grants from the

282
00:16:49,807 --> 00:16:52,207
federal department of housing

283
00:16:52,210 --> 00:16:54,779
and urban development, this is

284
00:16:54,779 --> 00:16:57,179
our community development block

285
00:16:57,549 --> 00:17:00,218
grant money. Item 8 is the

286
00:17:00,218 --> 00:17:01,553
community development block

287
00:17:01,553 --> 00:17:03,755
grant funding, there is three

288
00:17:03,755 --> 00:17:07,355
parts of the funding here first

289
00:17:11,997 --> 00:17:13,365
is accepting and appropriating

290
00:17:13,365 --> 00:17:15,765
$11 million that is our

291
00:17:16,340 --> 00:17:18,434
entitlement for cdbg. The

292
00:17:18,737 --> 00:17:20,737
ordinance also appropriation

293
00:17:24,276 --> 00:17:26,878
program income in the amount of

294
00:17:26,878 --> 00:17:29,278
$355,000. And then finally it

295
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,255
authorizes a realignment of 436,

296
00:17:37,255 --> 00:17:38,623
$419 of existing funds. The

297
00:17:38,623 --> 00:17:40,623
ordinance also then.

298
00:17:42,594 --> 00:17:44,196
Files our annual action plan for

299
00:17:44,196 --> 00:17:47,196
2024 which is a requirement of

300
00:17:47,265 --> 00:17:48,165
receiving the funds.

301
00:17:48,165 --> 00:17:49,735
>> Councilmember Harris: at the

302
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:53,371
outset, I just want to give a

303
00:17:53,371 --> 00:17:56,971
real big shout out to morgan

304
00:17:58,877 --> 00:18:01,179
sutter, our grants guru.

305
00:18:01,179 --> 00:18:03,148
Managing federal grants and hud

306
00:18:03,148 --> 00:18:05,984
grants as many folks in the

307
00:18:05,984 --> 00:18:07,850
department know, it is a huge

308
00:18:07,850 --> 00:18:09,485
lift, particularly with the

309
00:18:09,588 --> 00:18:12,190
number of programs that we fund

310
00:18:12,190 --> 00:18:13,525
through the city. And also want

311
00:18:13,525 --> 00:18:14,493
to brag on the fact that we

312
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:16,428
continue to number good stand

313
00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:17,663
with all of our grants across

314
00:18:17,663 --> 00:18:21,263
multiple years. And so I think

315
00:18:22,967 --> 00:18:27,167
that this year is a example of

316
00:18:27,472 --> 00:18:29,274
both us continuing to fund

317
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:31,243
programs, reallocating dollars

318
00:18:31,243 --> 00:18:32,944
to programs that have been

319
00:18:32,944 --> 00:18:34,880
performing well, reassessing

320
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,548
programs that have been

321
00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,516
underperforming. So it is this

322
00:18:38,516 --> 00:18:40,916
consistent, constant sort of

323
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,889
year to year balancing of

324
00:18:43,889 --> 00:18:46,758
priorities. And so, you know,

325
00:18:46,758 --> 00:18:50,358
we each have the opportunity to

326
00:18:50,662 --> 00:18:54,262
be briefed about these a lotment

327
00:18:55,167 --> 00:18:56,435
and I just again continue to be

328
00:18:56,435 --> 00:18:58,835
impressed with our department

329
00:19:00,872 --> 00:19:03,872
and particularly MISS Sutter as

330
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:04,876
work.

331
00:19:04,876 --> 00:19:06,478
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: echo

332
00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:07,746
that. It just doesn't happen,

333
00:19:07,746 --> 00:19:09,915
it happens because good people

334
00:19:09,915 --> 00:19:12,751
make it happen. So I do want to

335
00:19:12,751 --> 00:19:15,654
call out within this, you know,

336
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:17,456
several years ago the funds for

337
00:19:17,456 --> 00:19:19,570
cdcs that we gave to

338
00:19:19,570 --> 00:19:20,859
neighborhoods was about

339
00:19:20,859 --> 00:19:22,859
$300,000, went up to $900,000

340
00:19:23,962 --> 00:19:24,730
and now it is 1.9. So that is a

341
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:26,730
significant investment in

342
00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:28,901
neighborhood and cdcs which we

343
00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:30,469
know are strong return on

344
00:19:30,469 --> 00:19:31,236
investments and so we want to

345
00:19:31,236 --> 00:19:32,771
call that out because that's

346
00:19:32,771 --> 00:19:35,607
been a choice that we made in

347
00:19:35,607 --> 00:19:36,975
the last few years and I think

348
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:39,177
we'll see the -- we have seen

349
00:19:39,177 --> 00:19:43,377
the rewards but even more in the

350
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:44,849
future just enabling those cdcs.

351
00:19:44,849 --> 00:19:45,617
>> Councilmember Harris: yeah.

352
00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:47,152
>> Councilmember Walsh: I want

353
00:19:47,152 --> 00:19:48,353
to he can/that point, coming

354
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:50,220
from the community development

355
00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:51,623
world the investment that we're

356
00:19:51,623 --> 00:19:53,623
making is fantastic.

357
00:19:54,590 --> 00:19:55,560
Morgan sutter has been a

358
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,329
phenomenal lead other this

359
00:19:57,329 --> 00:19:58,864
effort here because you can see

360
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:00,965
as I flip through there's it

361
00:20:00,965 --> 00:20:02,634
gets complicated where money due

362
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:04,360
too time limits that is to

363
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:05,571
timeliness of that same year in

364
00:20:05,571 --> 00:20:07,390
that category. Fantastic work

365
00:20:07,390 --> 00:20:08,807
for all the efforts that's gone

366
00:20:08,807 --> 00:20:09,875
into it our granting government

367
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:11,877
affairs department has stepped

368
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:12,945
up to the next level. We see

369
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:14,379
all the grants we're getting

370
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:16,800
now. This is one of the many

371
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,416
that we get of the thank you for

372
00:20:17,416 --> 00:20:18,617
everything that are you doing,

373
00:20:18,617 --> 00:20:19,418
morgan.

374
00:20:19,418 --> 00:20:20,586
>> Councilmember Harris: that's

375
00:20:20,586 --> 00:20:22,986
right. All right. Without

376
00:20:23,388 --> 00:20:26,592
objection we'll move item number 8 for passage.

377
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:30,192
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

378
00:20:30,595 --> 00:20:32,397
number 9 this is also one of the

379
00:20:32,397 --> 00:20:34,797
hud community development block

380
00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:37,102
grant related ordinances. This

381
00:20:37,102 --> 00:20:38,937
specifically is for our

382
00:20:38,937 --> 00:20:41,337
entitlement amount for housing

383
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:43,740
opportunities for persons with

384
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:47,843
aids, hospital with a hopwa. So

385
00:20:48,981 --> 00:20:50,482
so this would appropriate

386
00:20:50,482 --> 00:20:53,482
entitlement funds as well as

387
00:20:53,852 --> 00:20:57,452
file our annual action plan for

388
00:20:59,124 --> 00:20:59,858
the hopwa grant program.

389
00:20:59,858 --> 00:21:01,627
>> Councilmember Harris: all

390
00:21:01,627 --> 00:21:03,462
right. Without objection we'll

391
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:05,930
move item number 9 for passage.

392
00:21:05,930 --> 00:21:08,670
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

393
00:21:08,670 --> 00:21:11,303
number 10 this is also part of

394
00:21:11,303 --> 00:21:13,703
our hud entitlement ordinances.

395
00:21:15,474 --> 00:21:16,875
This specific ordinance is for

396
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:17,909
the home investment partnership

397
00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:20,309
program. So this ordinance

398
00:21:23,820 --> 00:21:24,650
would accept and appropriate

399
00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:26,650
2-point $4 millions of

400
00:21:27,552 --> 00:21:28,687
entitlement funds. It also

401
00:21:28,687 --> 00:21:31,870
appropriates program income in

402
00:21:34,893 --> 00:21:37,893
the amount of $06,000.577 and it

403
00:21:38,290 --> 00:21:38,630
files the and that action plan

404
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:40,630
for the.

405
00:21:42,368 --> 00:21:43,168
Home program.

406
00:21:43,168 --> 00:21:44,360
>> Councilmember Harris: great.

407
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,436
Without objection we'll move

408
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:49,775
item number 10 for passage.

409
00:21:49,775 --> 00:21:52,645
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

410
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:55,480
number 11 this is the fourth and

411
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,349
final hud ordinance. This is

412
00:21:57,349 --> 00:21:58,817
for the emergency solutions

413
00:21:58,817 --> 00:22:01,217
grant program. This ordinance

414
00:22:04,723 --> 00:22:07,123
would accept and appropriate

415
00:22:07,293 --> 00:22:09,161
$989,000 of those esg

416
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:10,863
entitlement funds and files the

417
00:22:10,863 --> 00:22:14,463
annual action plan for the use

418
00:22:17,168 --> 00:22:17,969
of those funds.

419
00:22:17,969 --> 00:22:19,969
>> Councilmember Harris: without

420
00:22:20,405 --> 00:22:24,109
objection we'll move item number 11 for passage.

421
00:22:24,109 --> 00:22:27,279
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, item

422
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:30,279
number 12 is a ordinance, this

423
00:22:31,984 --> 00:22:35,154
is related to project tifs. And

424
00:22:35,154 --> 00:22:39,900
due to an allowance in state law

425
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:42,690
for the revised code, the city

426
00:22:44,629 --> 00:22:46,465
is allowed to take action to

427
00:22:46,465 --> 00:22:48,865
enable excess service payments

428
00:22:50,350 --> 00:22:51,637
from project tifs to be used for

429
00:22:51,637 --> 00:22:54,637
urban redevelopment. This is a

430
00:22:55,174 --> 00:22:58,444
opportunity that the city has to

431
00:22:58,444 --> 00:23:01,814
opt in from affirmatively to get

432
00:23:01,814 --> 00:23:04,814
this benefit before JUNE 30 of

433
00:23:04,849 --> 00:23:07,586
this year. The ordinance also

434
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:09,722
then amends a variety of

435
00:23:09,722 --> 00:23:12,122
ordinances that would impacted

436
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,727
by the potential of excess

437
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:15,361
service payments being made

438
00:23:15,361 --> 00:23:16,195
available.

439
00:23:16,195 --> 00:23:18,230
>> Councilmember Harris: this is

440
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:21,333
so great, and I'm glad that we

441
00:23:21,333 --> 00:23:24,360
are doing this this year. You

442
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,739
know, just in the past six

443
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:29,174
months we have authorized two

444
00:23:29,174 --> 00:23:31,430
project tifs that will likely be

445
00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:34,479
very successful. And so when we

446
00:23:34,479 --> 00:23:36,749
start to think about creating

447
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:37,950
opportunities and pools of money

448
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:40,719
for investment I think this is

449
00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:42,354
just a really great tool. So, i

450
00:23:42,354 --> 00:23:45,570
guess the question I would ask

451
00:23:45,570 --> 00:23:47,125
is that if we -- whatever we

452
00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:50,620
need to do to operational eyes.

453
00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:53,650
Do we have to opt in annually?

454
00:23:53,650 --> 00:23:55,601
So once we opt in we're in, all

455
00:23:55,601 --> 00:23:56,769
right, well we're in we're in.

456
00:23:56,769 --> 00:23:58,271
All right. Councilmember

457
00:23:58,271 --> 00:23:59,710
jeffreys.

458
00:23:59,710 --> 00:24:00,572
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: so

459
00:24:00,572 --> 00:24:03,175
acm web he asked most of my

460
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:05,878
questions on this. So these are

461
00:24:05,878 --> 00:24:08,130
project tifs versus geographic

462
00:24:08,130 --> 00:24:08,880
tifs I think that's important to

463
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,716
mention. To the administration,

464
00:24:10,716 --> 00:24:13,285
can you give us a sense of how

465
00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:16,188
much money there might be here

466
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:18,490
and then what this could enable,

467
00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:22,527
like just in ball park like what

468
00:24:22,527 --> 00:24:22,861
types of projects could this

469
00:24:22,861 --> 00:24:24,861
enable?

470
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:25,765
>> to the chair, to the

471
00:24:25,765 --> 00:24:26,665
councilmember it is several

472
00:24:26,665 --> 00:24:29,650
million dollars that's something

473
00:24:35,908 --> 00:24:36,642
we can follow-up with you on.

474
00:24:36,642 --> 00:24:37,809
>> Councilmember Harris: all

475
00:24:37,809 --> 00:24:40,209
right. Without objection we'll

476
00:24:44,349 --> 00:24:46,251
move item number 12 for passage.

477
00:24:46,251 --> 00:24:49,880
>> DR. Dudas: item number 13 is

478
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:50,656
a motion submit bid

479
00:24:50,656 --> 00:24:52,558
councilmember anna albi, vice

480
00:24:52,558 --> 00:24:54,526
mayor kearney, members jeffreys,

481
00:24:54,526 --> 00:24:56,462
walsh johnson and owens, to

482
00:24:56,462 --> 00:24:57,796
provide a report within 90 days

483
00:24:57,796 --> 00:25:00,365
for the feasibility of setting

484
00:25:00,365 --> 00:25:03,965
up a fund to support residential

485
00:25:04,469 --> 00:25:05,204
sidewalk repair.

486
00:25:05,204 --> 00:25:06,739
>> Councilmember Albi: thank

487
00:25:06,739 --> 00:25:07,839
you. So, I appreciate the

488
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:09,809
administration taking this on

489
00:25:09,809 --> 00:25:11,760
the report. I think we can

490
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,244
appreciate when we're walking

491
00:25:12,244 --> 00:25:14,679
around neighborhoods and sit a

492
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:16,648
sidewalk that's in dis repair,

493
00:25:16,648 --> 00:25:18,984
right now it is obviously the

494
00:25:18,984 --> 00:25:20,919
burden of the resident there and

495
00:25:20,919 --> 00:25:22,888
sometimes those repairs can be

496
00:25:22,888 --> 00:25:23,856
expensive the ask is to ask the

497
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:25,324
administration what is that cost

498
00:25:25,324 --> 00:25:28,260
burden on our residents and how

499
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:29,595
can we as a city help that?

500
00:25:29,595 --> 00:25:32,298
i believe sidewalks are an

501
00:25:32,298 --> 00:25:34,266
important part of our existing

502
00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:35,367
infrastructure that make it

503
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:36,836
schedule and walkable and all

504
00:25:36,836 --> 00:25:38,370
those things. That's the and

505
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:40,839
that cost burden on our

506
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:43,175
residents and how we as as I

507
00:25:43,175 --> 00:25:44,576
city can think innovatively how

508
00:25:44,576 --> 00:25:45,878
we can support that looking at

509
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:48,878
the profits from the railroad

510
00:25:49,882 --> 00:25:52,218
sale to go into existing

511
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:54,218
infrastructure.

512
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:58,555
>> Councilmember Harris: without

513
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,310
objection we'll move item number 13 for passage. All

514
00:26:05,310 --> 00:26:07,932
right and that is our agenda.

515
00:26:07,932 --> 00:26:10,636
We will hop in our

516
00:26:10,636 --> 00:26:13,360
presentations. So our first

517
00:26:13,205 --> 00:26:15,400
presentation will be from our

518
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,760
esteemed city manager on the

519
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,760
city manager's recommended

520
00:26:21,130 --> 00:26:23,382
fiscal year 2025 budget update.

521
00:26:23,382 --> 00:26:24,250
City manager long?

522
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:27,530
>> City Manager Long: I'm going

523
00:26:27,530 --> 00:26:30,653
to stay over here this time

524
00:26:30,856 --> 00:26:33,256
around. Okay. Let's begin.

525
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,261
Ready director dudas?

526
00:26:35,261 --> 00:26:37,261
DR. D?

527
00:26:37,797 --> 00:26:38,864
Okay. So over the past two

528
00:26:38,864 --> 00:26:41,601
years my administration made a

529
00:26:41,601 --> 00:26:44,601
big commitment to using data,

530
00:26:45,971 --> 00:26:47,839
defining kpi and taking a close

531
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:50,109
loot at what works and doesn't.

532
00:26:50,109 --> 00:26:51,477
By doing a honest assessment our

533
00:26:51,477 --> 00:26:53,179
processes we can make decisions

534
00:26:53,179 --> 00:26:55,800
about the smartest most

535
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,249
efficient way to spend money.

536
00:26:57,249 --> 00:27:00,819
This has been hard work that is

537
00:27:00,819 --> 00:27:01,988
a cultural shift for the city.

538
00:27:01,988 --> 00:27:03,589
I news anchor all of you for

539
00:27:03,589 --> 00:27:05,992
your support as we continue to

540
00:27:05,992 --> 00:27:09,362
be good fiscal steward of public

541
00:27:09,362 --> 00:27:10,229
dollars. I'm happy that the

542
00:27:10,229 --> 00:27:11,831
combination of inn discreted

543
00:27:11,831 --> 00:27:13,199
projected revenues and managed

544
00:27:13,199 --> 00:27:14,433
spending we're discussing

545
00:27:14,433 --> 00:27:16,433
presenting a structurally

546
00:27:16,702 --> 00:27:18,404
balanced budget for all ongoing

547
00:27:18,404 --> 00:27:20,720
operating expenses. For the

548
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,275
first time since the pandemic

549
00:27:22,275 --> 00:27:23,175
the city does not need to rely

550
00:27:23,175 --> 00:27:25,575
on american rescue plan

551
00:27:25,845 --> 00:27:27,847
resources to cover operating

552
00:27:27,847 --> 00:27:30,847
expenses. And the small amount

553
00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:33,586
of remaining rescue plan dollars

554
00:27:33,586 --> 00:27:35,870
will be used to support

555
00:27:35,870 --> 00:27:36,389
impactful one time investments,

556
00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:39,389
especially in the area of

557
00:27:40,193 --> 00:27:42,193
economic development.

558
00:27:42,295 --> 00:27:42,961
Considered will get into many

559
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:44,897
more specifics in the

560
00:27:44,897 --> 00:27:47,433
presentation in a moment. But,

561
00:27:47,433 --> 00:27:49,502
I do want to share some quick

562
00:27:49,502 --> 00:27:50,903
highlights that align around the

563
00:27:50,903 --> 00:27:53,539
five strategic goals that align

564
00:27:53,539 --> 00:27:56,208
with the mayor us vision for the

565
00:27:56,208 --> 00:27:59,178
city. The goals are growing

566
00:27:59,178 --> 00:28:01,800
economic opportunities, driving

567
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,248
neighborhoods, public safety and

568
00:28:03,248 --> 00:28:05,648
health, excellent and equitable

569
00:28:06,352 --> 00:28:07,887
service delivery and fiscal

570
00:28:07,887 --> 00:28:09,887
sustainability. Under growing

571
00:28:09,889 --> 00:28:11,990
economic development we're using

572
00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:14,693
some of the arp funding to

573
00:28:14,693 --> 00:28:16,963
invest more than 8 million in

574
00:28:16,963 --> 00:28:19,363
dced initiatives. Including the

575
00:28:19,499 --> 00:28:21,467
new quick straight acquisition

576
00:28:21,467 --> 00:28:22,302
and project support fund, the

577
00:28:22,302 --> 00:28:24,302
neighborhood business district

578
00:28:24,504 --> 00:28:26,504
improvement program, resources

579
00:28:26,706 --> 00:28:28,474
for strategic property

580
00:28:28,474 --> 00:28:30,176
acquisitions, property

581
00:28:30,176 --> 00:28:32,879
improvement more. I think it is

582
00:28:32,879 --> 00:28:35,148
important that our city staff

583
00:28:35,148 --> 00:28:36,749
and dced law and other relevant

584
00:28:36,749 --> 00:28:37,984
departments know that we have

585
00:28:37,984 --> 00:28:39,352
the full support of

586
00:28:39,352 --> 00:28:42,352
administration as they lead the

587
00:28:42,588 --> 00:28:43,723
charge for economic development

588
00:28:43,723 --> 00:28:44,490
in the region. For driving

589
00:28:44,490 --> 00:28:46,392
neighborhoods we're building on

590
00:28:46,392 --> 00:28:47,559
a lot of quality of life

591
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:48,895
investments that have come on

592
00:28:48,895 --> 00:28:51,895
line since last year. Including

593
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:54,600
the new building is best

594
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,435
academy. This is an innovative

595
00:28:56,435 --> 00:28:58,137
concepts that trains building

596
00:28:58,137 --> 00:29:00,537
inspectors in-house. Much like

597
00:29:01,174 --> 00:29:02,775
we on board fire fighters

598
00:29:02,775 --> 00:29:04,811
unbelievers. And public safety

599
00:29:04,811 --> 00:29:06,812
and health we're investing in

600
00:29:06,812 --> 00:29:09,115
cfd staffing and projects fire

601
00:29:09,115 --> 00:29:11,515
department will achieve full

602
00:29:11,917 --> 00:29:14,787
sworn budgeted strength. On the

603
00:29:14,787 --> 00:29:15,721
cpd side we're investing in 2

604
00:29:15,721 --> 00:29:16,422
two 350 person recruit classes

605
00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:18,422
to

606
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,663
class2350 person and that non police

607
00:29:23,663 --> 00:29:25,430
interventions to alternate

608
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,600
response to crisis program which

609
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,236
saves hundreds of hours by

610
00:29:30,236 --> 00:29:31,970
dispatching mental health and

611
00:29:31,970 --> 00:29:34,507
public health specials I was to

612
00:29:34,507 --> 00:29:35,942
calls where an unyou've

613
00:29:35,942 --> 00:29:37,209
uniformed necessary -- where a

614
00:29:37,209 --> 00:29:40,209
uniformed officer is not the

615
00:29:40,213 --> 00:29:42,215
best response, excuse me. And

616
00:29:42,215 --> 00:29:44,284
this budget ark will have

617
00:29:44,284 --> 00:29:45,118
expanded and that staff team.

618
00:29:45,118 --> 00:29:46,953
Alternative response teams ace

619
00:29:46,953 --> 00:29:48,988
scam of a that see where

620
00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:51,357
investments are making sense and

621
00:29:51,357 --> 00:29:53,260
how we into toad and that save

622
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:54,594
dollars. This is a complete

623
00:29:54,594 --> 00:29:55,995
great example of the that data

624
00:29:55,995 --> 00:29:58,995
hand how we're depending on

625
00:30:00,232 --> 00:30:02,100
that. For excellent and

626
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:04,304
accessible service see 31 cincy

627
00:30:04,304 --> 00:30:05,871
smart resources allocation.

628
00:30:05,871 --> 00:30:07,373
Thirty-one allows us to hear

629
00:30:07,373 --> 00:30:09,108
about problems and that and

630
00:30:09,108 --> 00:30:10,976
sloughs from residents

631
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:12,450
immediately and fits that

632
00:30:12,450 --> 00:30:14,113
quickly and this budget

633
00:30:14,113 --> 00:30:15,582
recommends the funding of a new

634
00:30:15,582 --> 00:30:17,982
customer service team to

635
00:30:18,451 --> 00:30:19,919
continue improving 311.

636
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:21,919
Finally, the fiscal

637
00:30:22,688 --> 00:30:24,423
sustainability I recommend a

638
00:30:24,423 --> 00:30:26,225
.75% increase in the city

639
00:30:26,225 --> 00:30:28,225
employer pension contribution

640
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,798
from 17% to 17-point 75%. For

641
00:30:31,798 --> 00:30:33,166
city staff pass the, present and

642
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:35,100
future we need to take care of

643
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:35,935
home and making healthy

644
00:30:35,935 --> 00:30:38,104
investments in the pension fund

645
00:30:38,104 --> 00:30:38,871
now we reduce long term

646
00:30:38,871 --> 00:30:40,740
financial risker.

647
00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:42,800
On the capital side, we are

648
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:43,609
preparing for increase

649
00:30:43,609 --> 00:30:45,144
investment from the sale of the

650
00:30:45,144 --> 00:30:47,544
cincinnati southern railway that

651
00:30:50,616 --> 00:30:52,719
is completed in early 2024. The

652
00:30:52,719 --> 00:30:53,987
cincy on track and transparency

653
00:30:53,987 --> 00:30:55,655
in spending and special report

654
00:30:55,655 --> 00:30:57,223
in the budget document a

655
00:30:57,223 --> 00:30:58,858
tracking dashboard coming later

656
00:30:58,858 --> 00:31:00,359
this year and increased staffing

657
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:02,462
in the department of public

658
00:31:02,462 --> 00:31:03,329
service to ensure efficient

659
00:31:03,329 --> 00:31:04,731
deployment. We have heard from

660
00:31:04,731 --> 00:31:06,399
residents and we have learned

661
00:31:06,399 --> 00:31:08,568
from residents and we are

662
00:31:08,568 --> 00:31:10,690
prepared to deploy a residents

663
00:31:10,690 --> 00:31:11,104
have asked for and that is

664
00:31:11,104 --> 00:31:12,705
complete transparency. I'm

665
00:31:12,705 --> 00:31:16,109
proud of what we were doing when

666
00:31:16,109 --> 00:31:17,343
we talk about cincy on track.

667
00:31:17,343 --> 00:31:19,679
Overall, I believe this budget

668
00:31:19,679 --> 00:31:22,470
will help us achieve strategic

669
00:31:22,470 --> 00:31:24,284
objectives and prepare for

670
00:31:24,284 --> 00:31:26,284
operating deficits. Without

671
00:31:26,853 --> 00:31:28,188
throughout leslie slashing or

672
00:31:28,188 --> 00:31:31,188
increasing log than now DR.

673
00:31:32,292 --> 00:31:34,260
Dudas can tell you much more.

674
00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:36,929
>> DR. Dudas: all right. Thank

675
00:31:36,929 --> 00:31:39,929
you, very much, city manager.

676
00:31:42,335 --> 00:31:43,937
We'll start with the just basic

677
00:31:43,937 --> 00:31:45,305
overview of the fiscal year 2025

678
00:31:45,305 --> 00:31:47,106
budget update start with the

679
00:31:47,106 --> 00:31:50,106
operating budget and then moving

680
00:31:51,978 --> 00:31:54,313
to the capital budget. We have

681
00:31:54,313 --> 00:31:56,713
the five strategic priorities

682
00:31:57,884 --> 00:31:59,886
that things are centered around.

683
00:31:59,886 --> 00:32:02,322
And my pitch usually is that

684
00:32:02,322 --> 00:32:03,689
when you look at the budget

685
00:32:03,689 --> 00:32:05,570
document the icons that are

686
00:32:05,570 --> 00:32:06,826
assigned to each of the

687
00:32:06,826 --> 00:32:09,226
strategic priorities you will

688
00:32:09,829 --> 00:32:12,650
see in the department summary

689
00:32:12,650 --> 00:32:13,833
section each department summary

690
00:32:13,833 --> 00:32:15,767
page is related to one of these

691
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:17,670
five priorities based on the

692
00:32:17,670 --> 00:32:19,380
best fit of that program and

693
00:32:19,380 --> 00:32:20,639
service that is are being

694
00:32:20,639 --> 00:32:23,639
delivered by that department to

695
00:32:25,210 --> 00:32:28,210
one of these five priorities.

696
00:32:28,648 --> 00:32:30,350
Beginning with the fiscal year

697
00:32:30,350 --> 00:32:32,485
2025 operating budget I think it

698
00:32:32,485 --> 00:32:36,850
is important to look a little

699
00:32:37,290 --> 00:32:40,894
bit long term at where the city

700
00:32:40,894 --> 00:32:43,894
is headed. Certainly since the

701
00:32:45,699 --> 00:32:47,200
pandemic the general fund budget

702
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,568
has not been balanced even

703
00:32:48,568 --> 00:32:50,537
though that's our goal each and

704
00:32:50,537 --> 00:32:51,672
every year. We have used

705
00:32:51,672 --> 00:32:53,339
american rescue plan dollars and

706
00:32:53,339 --> 00:32:54,674
one time revenue sources which

707
00:32:54,674 --> 00:32:57,674
means the past several fiscal

708
00:32:58,344 --> 00:33:00,679
years we have had a balanced

709
00:33:00,679 --> 00:33:02,716
budget but not structurally

710
00:33:02,716 --> 00:33:04,716
balanced development. And

711
00:33:06,286 --> 00:33:08,686
operating budget for 2025 is

712
00:33:10,590 --> 00:33:11,290
balanced. But it is

713
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:12,892
structurally balanced

714
00:33:12,892 --> 00:33:14,561
development while we're using

715
00:33:14,561 --> 00:33:15,628
one time revenues we have

716
00:33:15,628 --> 00:33:18,280
earmarked those one time

717
00:33:19,399 --> 00:33:20,734
revenues sources for one time

718
00:33:20,734 --> 00:33:23,470
expenditure items which is I

719
00:33:23,470 --> 00:33:25,870
think an important distinction.

720
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:29,140
So we are structurally

721
00:33:30,677 --> 00:33:32,279
unbalanced for. There are and

722
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:33,913
225 continue to $3 million of

723
00:33:33,913 --> 00:33:36,116
arp resources that is what is

724
00:33:36,116 --> 00:33:39,716
being used to support those one

725
00:33:40,253 --> 00:33:43,253
time expenses that will not

726
00:33:44,624 --> 00:33:47,240
reoakier in fiscal year 2026.

727
00:33:47,193 --> 00:33:49,593
Looking beyond the upcoming

728
00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:52,332
fiscal year, fiscal year 2026

729
00:33:52,332 --> 00:33:54,367
through 2029, we do have

730
00:33:54,367 --> 00:33:56,767
projected budget deficits in

731
00:33:58,939 --> 00:34:02,475
those out years. Our look into

732
00:34:02,475 --> 00:34:04,711
the future does show that

733
00:34:04,711 --> 00:34:07,647
expenditures continue to grow at

734
00:34:07,647 --> 00:34:09,549
a faster pace than revenues,

735
00:34:09,549 --> 00:34:12,385
this is good news foretime 2025

736
00:34:12,385 --> 00:34:14,321
but there is projected deficits

737
00:34:14,321 --> 00:34:16,321
and imbalance between

738
00:34:17,891 --> 00:34:19,826
expenditures growth and revenue

739
00:34:19,826 --> 00:34:21,628
growth. As the city manager has

740
00:34:21,628 --> 00:34:23,263
indicated, the administration

741
00:34:23,263 --> 00:34:25,398
will continue to look for

742
00:34:25,398 --> 00:34:27,398
opportunities to enhance

743
00:34:27,766 --> 00:34:29,603
revenues, increase efficiency,

744
00:34:29,603 --> 00:34:32,300
improve service delivery, and

745
00:34:32,380 --> 00:34:33,773
certainly to support policy

746
00:34:33,773 --> 00:34:36,173
conversations related to the

747
00:34:36,676 --> 00:34:38,544
city's finances and particularly

748
00:34:38,544 --> 00:34:40,944
the recent recommendations from

749
00:34:42,949 --> 00:34:44,949
the cincinnati futures

750
00:34:47,954 --> 00:34:49,556
commission. From a operating

751
00:34:49,556 --> 00:34:53,590
budget specify, what I wanted to

752
00:34:53,590 --> 00:34:55,428
call your attention to here is

753
00:34:55,428 --> 00:34:57,964
the third column of numbers

754
00:34:57,964 --> 00:35:00,964
which is our recommended fiscal

755
00:35:02,636 --> 00:35:04,871
year 2025 update. We have in

756
00:35:04,871 --> 00:35:06,871
total $1.3 billion operating

757
00:35:07,307 --> 00:35:10,760
budget that includes the general

758
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,480
fund as well as all of our

759
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,415
restricted funds. Going back

760
00:35:15,415 --> 00:35:16,883
and making sure that we spend

761
00:35:16,883 --> 00:35:18,919
some time at general fund

762
00:35:18,919 --> 00:35:21,788
budget, this is a little bit of

763
00:35:21,788 --> 00:35:24,524
a history over the past several

764
00:35:24,524 --> 00:35:28,124
months in terms of where things

765
00:35:28,628 --> 00:35:30,797
have gone from the tentative tax

766
00:35:30,797 --> 00:35:32,299
budget to now. For the past

767
00:35:32,299 --> 00:35:33,767
several years when the city

768
00:35:33,767 --> 00:35:36,167
prepares its continuation budget

769
00:35:36,369 --> 00:35:38,472
for the upcoming fiscal year tet

770
00:35:38,472 --> 00:35:41,472
of the tentative tax budget

771
00:35:42,108 --> 00:35:44,508
which is usually DECEMBER,

772
00:35:45,945 --> 00:35:48,849
JANUARY of the -- in terms of

773
00:35:48,849 --> 00:35:51,250
time. We have had a projected

774
00:35:51,250 --> 00:35:53,650
budget deficit ranging anywhere

775
00:35:55,122 --> 00:35:57,524
from 18-$30 million. Tet of the

776
00:35:57,524 --> 00:35:59,493
ttb this year that was no

777
00:35:59,493 --> 00:36:02,493
different. We had projected a

778
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,990
26-point $4 million deaf sit, we

779
00:36:06,990 --> 00:36:08,301
had $25.2 million of arp

780
00:36:08,301 --> 00:36:10,237
remaining, so we had projected a

781
00:36:10,237 --> 00:36:12,739
deficit of just over a million

782
00:36:12,739 --> 00:36:13,673
dollars. There have been some

783
00:36:13,673 --> 00:36:15,673
significant material changes

784
00:36:17,577 --> 00:36:19,246
that have occurred since the ttb

785
00:36:19,246 --> 00:36:21,681
was approved and these next

786
00:36:21,681 --> 00:36:23,283
several slides will walk us

787
00:36:23,283 --> 00:36:25,683
through what those material

788
00:36:25,919 --> 00:36:27,820
changes amounted to. On the

789
00:36:27,820 --> 00:36:30,791
revenue side, we saw some

790
00:36:30,791 --> 00:36:33,191
significant increases in ref

791
00:36:35,629 --> 00:36:37,664
knew total of $32.9 million,

792
00:36:37,664 --> 00:36:39,633
$9.6 million of that is from

793
00:36:39,633 --> 00:36:42,330
increased practices ref property

794
00:36:42,669 --> 00:36:44,604
tax revenue, that is due to

795
00:36:44,604 --> 00:36:45,972
county property value

796
00:36:45,972 --> 00:36:48,372
assessments so those increased

797
00:36:49,142 --> 00:36:51,144
property values have driven.

798
00:36:51,144 --> 00:36:54,144
Revenue growth. The city income

799
00:36:56,216 --> 00:36:58,785
tax revenue hassles grown by

800
00:36:58,785 --> 00:37:01,388
$8.7 million as in terms of our

801
00:37:01,388 --> 00:37:03,788
projection for fiscal year 2025,

802
00:37:04,757 --> 00:37:05,559
essentially that's due to

803
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:08,495
current trent trends on markiea

804
00:37:08,495 --> 00:37:12,950
carter revenue and a better than

805
00:37:12,132 --> 00:37:14,532
projected economy regionally and

806
00:37:15,368 --> 00:37:17,671
nationally. We also had another

807
00:37:17,671 --> 00:37:18,639
$14.6 million of increased

808
00:37:18,639 --> 00:37:21,390
miscellaneous revenue. This is

809
00:37:21,642 --> 00:37:23,410
from a variety of different

810
00:37:23,410 --> 00:37:25,810
sources including the admission

811
00:37:25,879 --> 00:37:27,748
tax, short term rental exercise

812
00:37:27,748 --> 00:37:30,148
tax, increased building and

813
00:37:30,417 --> 00:37:31,952
permit fees as well as some

814
00:37:31,952 --> 00:37:33,887
investment income. Primarily

815
00:37:33,887 --> 00:37:36,887
these are due to adjustments

816
00:37:37,557 --> 00:37:41,157
based on current year trends but

817
00:37:41,194 --> 00:37:43,594
also a rigorous administration's

818
00:37:44,731 --> 00:37:47,131
review of revenue enhancement

819
00:37:47,267 --> 00:37:49,667
opportunities through our siet

820
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:50,737
process. When we get to the use

821
00:37:50,737 --> 00:37:53,737
of american rescue plan dollars

822
00:37:55,242 --> 00:37:57,410
as I indicated there is

823
00:37:57,410 --> 00:37:59,410
$25.2 million remaining. The

824
00:37:59,479 --> 00:38:01,479
fiscal year 2025 recommended

825
00:38:02,616 --> 00:38:04,418
budget uses $7.6 million in the

826
00:38:04,418 --> 00:38:07,200
operating budget for those one

827
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,420
time non reoccurring expenses

828
00:38:10,657 --> 00:38:12,359
and then $17.6 million will be

829
00:38:12,359 --> 00:38:15,359
transferred out to the capital

830
00:38:17,830 --> 00:38:21,430
budget to be used for capital

831
00:38:22,469 --> 00:38:24,271
items. Continuing the process

832
00:38:24,271 --> 00:38:27,271
of balancings our general fund

833
00:38:27,307 --> 00:38:29,877
budget for fiscal year 2025, we

834
00:38:29,877 --> 00:38:32,277
also had some expenditure

835
00:38:32,279 --> 00:38:34,679
reductions that occurred since

836
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,480
the tentative tax budget, the

837
00:38:39,860 --> 00:38:43,286
the first is the timing of fire

838
00:38:43,357 --> 00:38:45,559
recruit classes. We due to

839
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:48,362
delaying delaying of a current

840
00:38:48,362 --> 00:38:51,362
class here in fiscal year 2024,

841
00:38:53,133 --> 00:38:55,802
there will now be one class in

842
00:38:55,802 --> 00:38:58,802
fiscal year 2025 and two classes

843
00:39:00,173 --> 00:39:03,100
in fiscal year 2026. We also

844
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:06,100
had included in the continuation

845
00:39:08,682 --> 00:39:11,682
budget a 5% increase in calendar

846
00:39:13,553 --> 00:39:15,953
year 2025 employer health care

847
00:39:16,220 --> 00:39:18,422
premium increase based on

848
00:39:20,126 --> 00:39:22,620
current projections. We do not

849
00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:24,798
have that premium increase need

850
00:39:24,798 --> 00:39:27,000
so that resulted in a savings in

851
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,350
the general fund of

852
00:39:28,350 --> 00:39:30,350
approximately $1.7 million. We

853
00:39:30,103 --> 00:39:32,640
had some other miscellaneous non

854
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,640
personnel reductions, some

855
00:39:34,641 --> 00:39:35,843
increase reimbursements and

856
00:39:35,843 --> 00:39:37,444
increased position vacancy

857
00:39:37,444 --> 00:39:41,440
savings that we were able to

858
00:39:42,782 --> 00:39:45,182
take advantage of. Comment

859
00:39:48,822 --> 00:39:50,190
increases. In terms of

860
00:39:50,190 --> 00:39:52,590
increasing a variety of

861
00:39:54,595 --> 00:39:56,296
different items, we had

862
00:39:56,296 --> 00:39:58,296
$4.7 million which are

863
00:39:59,990 --> 00:40:00,133
considered one time department

864
00:40:00,133 --> 00:40:02,133
exceptions. This includes

865
00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:05,172
funding to do the final phase of

866
00:40:05,172 --> 00:40:07,572
the public safety facilities

867
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:10,977
master plan funding to do a

868
00:40:10,977 --> 00:40:13,377
refresh of plan cincinnati

869
00:40:13,647 --> 00:40:14,481
funding for the urban league

870
00:40:14,481 --> 00:40:16,481
minority business program.

871
00:40:16,951 --> 00:40:18,418
These are all examples of one

872
00:40:18,418 --> 00:40:20,818
time department exceptions that

873
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,880
are included in the 2025 general

874
00:40:25,910 --> 00:40:27,491
fund budget. $4.1 million was

875
00:40:28,528 --> 00:40:32,128
set aside in the reserve for

876
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,680
contingencies. So unallocated

877
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,468
funds, 4.9 million was utilized

878
00:40:37,905 --> 00:40:39,439
for ongoing department

879
00:40:39,439 --> 00:40:41,439
exceptions, this includes

880
00:40:41,542 --> 00:40:43,177
continuation funding for the

881
00:40:43,177 --> 00:40:45,678
city mediation program in the

882
00:40:45,678 --> 00:40:48,780
law department, the neighborhood

883
00:40:48,148 --> 00:40:49,383
catalytic capital improvement

884
00:40:49,383 --> 00:40:51,783
program for community and

885
00:40:52,118 --> 00:40:54,118
economic development. And

886
00:40:56,890 --> 00:40:57,858
strategic code enforcement and

887
00:40:57,858 --> 00:40:59,858
buildings & inspections, those

888
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:02,729
are all continuing.

889
00:41:02,729 --> 00:41:04,729
$4.3 million went toward

890
00:41:05,298 --> 00:41:07,434
staffing increases net of

891
00:41:07,434 --> 00:41:10,434
reimbursements from a variety of

892
00:41:10,738 --> 00:41:13,138
sources. There is approximately

893
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:14,808
$1 million of information

894
00:41:14,808 --> 00:41:16,808
technology expenditure growth

895
00:41:19,212 --> 00:41:20,614
that's included, and $400,000 of

896
00:41:20,614 --> 00:41:23,614
reversal of credit to expense,

897
00:41:24,180 --> 00:41:25,386
that's this is a issue that we

898
00:41:25,386 --> 00:41:28,386
tackled in the fiscal year 2024

899
00:41:29,223 --> 00:41:31,191
budget and this is the

900
00:41:31,191 --> 00:41:33,591
recalibration after having the

901
00:41:33,727 --> 00:41:36,127
past 8 important 9 months to

902
00:41:37,197 --> 00:41:39,197
review those estimates.

903
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,135
Additionally as I mentioned

904
00:41:41,135 --> 00:41:42,836
$17.6 million will be

905
00:41:42,836 --> 00:41:45,836
transferred out to the capital

906
00:41:46,173 --> 00:41:49,773
budget for one time expenses the

907
00:41:50,344 --> 00:41:52,744
breakdown of those dollars

908
00:41:53,847 --> 00:41:55,348
includes $8.85 million for

909
00:41:55,348 --> 00:41:57,348
various community and

910
00:41:57,785 --> 00:41:59,785
development issues. $5 million

911
00:42:01,521 --> 00:42:02,656
for the green cincinnati plan

912
00:42:02,656 --> 00:42:04,458
which a significant portion much

913
00:42:04,458 --> 00:42:07,561
that will go as to the revolving

914
00:42:07,561 --> 00:42:10,331
loan fund to be able to take

915
00:42:10,331 --> 00:42:11,966
advantage of the direct pay

916
00:42:11,966 --> 00:42:14,966
benefits offer by the federal

917
00:42:15,568 --> 00:42:17,568
government. And additional

918
00:42:18,773 --> 00:42:20,740
$2 million for fleet

919
00:42:20,740 --> 00:42:22,740
replacements, $1 million toward

920
00:42:25,145 --> 00:42:28,115
upgrades at lunken airport and

921
00:42:28,115 --> 00:42:30,115
$750,000 for income technology

922
00:42:30,450 --> 00:42:32,386
upgrades which includes service

923
00:42:32,386 --> 00:42:34,386
enhancements for the 3

924
00:42:34,721 --> 00:42:35,789
311 service

925
00:42:35,789 --> 00:42:36,523
line.

926
00:42:36,523 --> 00:42:37,124
>> Councilmember Harris: one

927
00:42:37,124 --> 00:42:37,925
moment.

928
00:42:37,925 --> 00:42:39,726
>> Councilmember Johnson: thank

929
00:42:39,726 --> 00:42:42,726
you, DR. Dudas, the $2 million

930
00:42:42,729 --> 00:42:45,729
for the fleet replacement, is

931
00:42:48,936 --> 00:42:51,336
does that include fire?

932
00:42:51,705 --> 00:42:52,740
>> DR. Dudas: yes, the way the

933
00:42:52,740 --> 00:42:55,676
allocation would work is that

934
00:42:55,676 --> 00:42:58,110
would be added with the regular

935
00:42:58,110 --> 00:43:00,411
annual allocation which is

936
00:43:00,781 --> 00:43:02,315
divided up between all of the

937
00:43:02,315 --> 00:43:04,351
general fund departments, police

938
00:43:04,351 --> 00:43:07,821
and fire as being a significant

939
00:43:07,821 --> 00:43:11,580
percentage of that, we'll see a

940
00:43:11,580 --> 00:43:11,858
percentage of this $2 million.

941
00:43:11,858 --> 00:43:13,858
>> Councilmember Johnson: thank

942
00:43:19,900 --> 00:43:20,734
you, appreciate it.

943
00:43:20,734 --> 00:43:23,734
>> DR. Dudas: looking at general

944
00:43:23,837 --> 00:43:26,507
fund revenue for fiscal year

945
00:43:26,507 --> 00:43:28,907
2025, the general fund revenue

946
00:43:31,178 --> 00:43:32,213
comes in at an estimated

947
00:43:32,213 --> 00:43:33,881
$57,870,000,000. As you can see

948
00:43:33,881 --> 00:43:35,983
based on pie chart we continue

949
00:43:35,983 --> 00:43:37,983
to heavily rely.

950
00:43:39,987 --> 00:43:41,987
on the $570 million.

951
00:43:42,289 --> 00:43:44,425
This/earnings tax is saning will

952
00:43:44,425 --> 00:43:47,425
source of general fund revenue.

953
00:43:49,964 --> 00:43:51,698
We then have obviously the arp

954
00:43:51,698 --> 00:43:54,101
act dollars, we have our

955
00:43:54,101 --> 00:43:56,501
property tax, state shared

956
00:43:57,170 --> 00:43:59,570
revenue, casino tax, and

957
00:44:00,674 --> 00:44:03,674
investment as well as other

958
00:44:03,811 --> 00:44:05,546
revenues. In terms of the

959
00:44:05,546 --> 00:44:07,546
expenditures, that same

960
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,118
$570 million is budgeted in

961
00:44:11,118 --> 00:44:13,518
expenditures, much like previous

962
00:44:14,322 --> 00:44:16,189
fiscal years the majority of

963
00:44:16,189 --> 00:44:18,158
those expenditures this shows

964
00:44:18,158 --> 00:44:20,428
the expenditures by department

965
00:44:20,428 --> 00:44:23,497
does go to public safety both

966
00:44:23,497 --> 00:44:27,970
police and fire are our two

967
00:44:27,101 --> 00:44:28,736
largest general fund supported

968
00:44:28,736 --> 00:44:30,736
departments. City manager's

969
00:44:30,805 --> 00:44:33,240
office checks in as the third

970
00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:35,208
most, keep in mind that the city

971
00:44:35,208 --> 00:44:38,145
manager office does include a

972
00:44:38,145 --> 00:44:39,246
portion of public safety in the

973
00:44:39,246 --> 00:44:41,246
e

974
00:44:43,751 --> 00:44:46,220
cc is included in that report.

975
00:44:46,220 --> 00:44:47,855
And as well as all of our human

976
00:44:47,855 --> 00:44:49,990
services and leveraged support

977
00:44:49,990 --> 00:44:51,491
funding which is a significant

978
00:44:51,491 --> 00:44:53,600
amount. You can see the

979
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,895
allocations to the other

980
00:44:54,895 --> 00:44:57,295
departments, this does include

981
00:44:58,899 --> 00:45:01,935
our transfers out, not only to

982
00:45:01,935 --> 00:45:04,710
the capital budget as previously

983
00:45:04,710 --> 00:45:05,906
discussed, but this also shows

984
00:45:05,906 --> 00:45:07,541
the transfer out to the health

985
00:45:07,541 --> 00:45:10,900
department which by state law

986
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:12,880
general fund resources have to

987
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,880
be transferred to the cincinnati

988
00:45:18,686 --> 00:45:21,860
health difficulty fund. Looking

989
00:45:21,756 --> 00:45:23,457
at various breakdowns of those

990
00:45:23,457 --> 00:45:24,358
general fund expenditures, this

991
00:45:24,358 --> 00:45:26,758
shows the breakdown between

992
00:45:27,695 --> 00:45:30,695
public safety and non public

993
00:45:32,660 --> 00:45:34,367
safety. As can you see, over

994
00:45:34,367 --> 00:45:36,804
2/3 of our general fund budget

995
00:45:36,804 --> 00:45:39,107
goes to public safety, police,

996
00:45:39,107 --> 00:45:40,941
fire, and emergency

997
00:45:40,941 --> 00:45:42,941
communications center, that

998
00:45:43,511 --> 00:45:47,111
leaves just under a third for

999
00:45:47,381 --> 00:45:49,830
our non public safety

1000
00:45:49,830 --> 00:45:51,830
expenditures. Personnel versus

1001
00:45:51,451 --> 00:45:53,554
non personnel, personnel and

1002
00:45:53,554 --> 00:45:56,554
employee benefits is our largest

1003
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:00,424
category of spending. Nearly

1004
00:46:00,628 --> 00:46:02,229
81% go to personnel and benefits

1005
00:46:02,229 --> 00:46:05,232
with in the general fund. That

1006
00:46:05,232 --> 00:46:06,834
leaves just under 20% for non

1007
00:46:06,834 --> 00:46:09,234
personnel which is our

1008
00:46:09,437 --> 00:46:11,437
contractual services, supplies,

1009
00:46:14,108 --> 00:46:16,510
materials, and those types of

1010
00:46:16,510 --> 00:46:18,112
expenses. From a staffing

1011
00:46:18,112 --> 00:46:19,446
perspective, as I indicated

1012
00:46:19,446 --> 00:46:21,616
personnel and benefits expenses

1013
00:46:21,616 --> 00:46:24,552
are nearly 81% of the general

1014
00:46:24,552 --> 00:46:27,521
fund budget. Within the general

1015
00:46:27,521 --> 00:46:29,921
fund with have 82.7% of

1016
00:46:30,391 --> 00:46:31,826
employees that are recommend

1017
00:46:31,826 --> 00:46:33,461
represented by a bargaining

1018
00:46:33,461 --> 00:46:35,563
unit. So this shows the

1019
00:46:35,563 --> 00:46:37,565
breakdown. So police, the

1020
00:46:37,565 --> 00:46:40,565
fraternal order of police, and

1021
00:46:41,201 --> 00:46:42,360
nearly 29% followed by the enter

1022
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,360
international association of

1023
00:46:45,739 --> 00:46:47,508
fire fighters at 23.4% and

1024
00:46:47,508 --> 00:46:49,143
nearly 20% represented by

1025
00:46:49,143 --> 00:46:51,543
afscme, either full-time asset

1026
00:46:56,417 --> 00:46:59,417
forfeitures my afscme, or we

1027
00:47:00,788 --> 00:47:01,556
have bargaining with cincinnati

1028
00:47:01,556 --> 00:47:03,491
organized and dedicated

1029
00:47:03,491 --> 00:47:05,590
employees and just 10% of those

1030
00:47:05,590 --> 00:47:08,590
are not general fund. Small

1031
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:10,531
amount are not building trades

1032
00:47:10,531 --> 00:47:12,931
organization and that leaves

1033
00:47:14,402 --> 00:47:17,104
just over 13% as non represented

1034
00:47:17,104 --> 00:47:18,739
and 4.4% as part-time. The

1035
00:47:18,739 --> 00:47:21,739
important part here is to

1036
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:24,745
understand that a lot of our

1037
00:47:24,745 --> 00:47:25,913
wages that are included in the

1038
00:47:25,913 --> 00:47:27,913
budget particularly moving

1039
00:47:30,180 --> 00:47:31,786
forward are based on the labor

1040
00:47:31,786 --> 00:47:34,421
contract that we have that we

1041
00:47:34,421 --> 00:47:35,189
have negotiated with. It is

1042
00:47:35,189 --> 00:47:37,391
important to point out that we

1043
00:47:37,391 --> 00:47:39,791
are currently in negotiations

1044
00:47:42,263 --> 00:47:45,166
with both the iaff and the fop,

1045
00:47:45,166 --> 00:47:47,566
and there are reminding

1046
00:47:49,737 --> 00:47:51,472
bargaining units within the next

1047
00:47:51,472 --> 00:47:53,741
14-16 months will be negotiate

1048
00:47:53,741 --> 00:47:56,760
with everybody else. So that is

1049
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:57,311
important as we look at

1050
00:47:57,311 --> 00:47:59,711
expenditure growth into future

1051
00:48:02,784 --> 00:48:04,852
fiscal years. Some highlights

1052
00:48:04,852 --> 00:48:06,521
here with in the operating

1053
00:48:06,521 --> 00:48:09,924
budget. We wanted to spend a

1054
00:48:09,924 --> 00:48:11,192
little bit of time talking about

1055
00:48:11,192 --> 00:48:13,192
spastically from

1056
00:48:13,694 --> 00:48:14,996
public safety particular public

1057
00:48:14,996 --> 00:48:16,798
safety and that in terms of the

1058
00:48:16,798 --> 00:48:18,366
police department. There is a

1059
00:48:18,366 --> 00:48:21,366
current recruit class that is

1060
00:48:22,300 --> 00:48:25,406
expected to graduate in all this

1061
00:48:25,406 --> 00:48:27,608
year. That includes funding for

1062
00:48:27,608 --> 00:48:29,544
a 50 member police recruit class

1063
00:48:29,544 --> 00:48:32,380
to start in OCTOBER 2024. And

1064
00:48:32,380 --> 00:48:36,160
then a class to start a year

1065
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,200
from now in MAY of 2025. For

1066
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,223
the fire department, the plan is

1067
00:48:42,223 --> 00:48:45,823
for a 50 member class that will

1068
00:48:46,727 --> 00:48:49,127
graduate in SEPTEMBER 2024. And

1069
00:48:49,630 --> 00:48:52,630
50 member class that will start

1070
00:48:53,201 --> 00:48:55,201
immediately thereafter in

1071
00:48:57,305 --> 00:49:00,305
OCTOBER. Also, included in this

1072
00:49:00,675 --> 00:49:02,910
budget police adds 7 fte, these

1073
00:49:02,910 --> 00:49:06,114
are civilian ftes the imagine of

1074
00:49:06,114 --> 00:49:09,114
these are part of the

1075
00:49:09,751 --> 00:49:12,751
civilianization plan to try to

1076
00:49:14,222 --> 00:49:16,758
maximize sworn staff and deploy

1077
00:49:16,758 --> 00:49:19,393
those sworn officers to street

1078
00:49:19,393 --> 00:49:22,393
strength as opposed to roles

1079
00:49:23,498 --> 00:49:27,980
that could be filled by a

1080
00:49:30,370 --> 00:49:33,370
civilian. Looking ahead at fire

1081
00:49:36,444 --> 00:49:38,579
staffing, when we look at our

1082
00:49:38,579 --> 00:49:42,160
modeling for our sworn both in

1083
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:43,751
fire and police, we look at the

1084
00:49:43,751 --> 00:49:45,720
timing of recruit classes, the

1085
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:48,220
size of the recruit classes, as

1086
00:49:48,220 --> 00:49:51,220
well as our projection of

1087
00:49:53,494 --> 00:49:55,530
attrition for how many sworn

1088
00:49:55,530 --> 00:49:57,930
personnel will retire or

1089
00:49:58,466 --> 00:50:00,201
otherwise leave city service.

1090
00:50:00,201 --> 00:50:03,271
Our estimates are at the start

1091
00:50:03,271 --> 00:50:07,471
of the fiscal year in JULY fire

1092
00:50:10,411 --> 00:50:13,411
will have 829 sworn fte. This

1093
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,119
is in comparison to a strength

1094
00:50:18,119 --> 00:50:19,587
of 859. Well deployment of the

1095
00:50:19,587 --> 00:50:22,587
recruit class that is scheduled

1096
00:50:23,570 --> 00:50:26,427
to graduate in SEPTEMBER, we do

1097
00:50:26,427 --> 00:50:28,960
expect fire to increase their

1098
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,496
sworn compliment slightly over

1099
00:50:30,865 --> 00:50:33,265
their budget thed sworn

1100
00:50:33,635 --> 00:50:35,202
strength. They will continue

1101
00:50:35,202 --> 00:50:37,739
that growth with the recruit

1102
00:50:37,739 --> 00:50:40,175
class that will graduate next

1103
00:50:40,175 --> 00:50:41,342
MARCH and we do expect by the

1104
00:50:41,342 --> 00:50:43,711
end of the year for the

1105
00:50:43,711 --> 00:50:46,711
department to still be slightly

1106
00:50:47,248 --> 00:50:49,648
above their budgeted sworn

1107
00:50:50,485 --> 00:50:52,885
strength. Looking at the

1108
00:50:53,188 --> 00:50:54,923
longitudinally, the fire

1109
00:50:54,923 --> 00:50:58,523
department a long the office of

1110
00:50:58,726 --> 00:51:01,726
budget and evaluation and the

1111
00:51:02,563 --> 00:51:05,132
office of data analytics we have

1112
00:51:05,132 --> 00:51:07,532
carefully reviewed class size,

1113
00:51:08,236 --> 00:51:10,604
timing, along with attrition

1114
00:51:10,604 --> 00:51:12,806
projections to not just look at

1115
00:51:12,806 --> 00:51:15,430
what these estimates are, but

1116
00:51:15,430 --> 00:51:17,979
also with a look at what officer

1117
00:51:17,979 --> 00:51:20,315
time needs are for the

1118
00:51:20,315 --> 00:51:22,715
department. Budgeted over time

1119
00:51:25,220 --> 00:51:27,288
for fire in fiscal year 2025 is

1120
00:51:27,288 --> 00:51:29,657
$10.3 million. And we will

1121
00:51:29,657 --> 00:51:31,660
continue to monday for both

1122
00:51:31,660 --> 00:51:35,260
staffing and over time needs as

1123
00:51:36,765 --> 00:51:39,765
we move through fiscal year

1124
00:51:41,202 --> 00:51:43,738
2025. On the police side of

1125
00:51:43,738 --> 00:51:46,738
things, police's just for a

1126
00:51:47,771 --> 00:51:49,577
benchmark police's budgeted

1127
00:51:49,577 --> 00:51:52,113
sworn strength is 1059 ftes and

1128
00:51:52,113 --> 00:51:54,513
they are significantly lower

1129
00:51:54,749 --> 00:51:57,149
than that currently. Our

1130
00:51:57,352 --> 00:52:00,352
projection is thattity start of

1131
00:52:03,157 --> 00:52:06,561
the fiscal year they will be 917

1132
00:52:06,561 --> 00:52:07,929
sworn police officers in the

1133
00:52:07,929 --> 00:52:09,929
department. 250

1134
00:52:10,731 --> 00:52:12,731
two 50 person

1135
00:52:13,340 --> 00:52:15,336
recruit classes with a MAY and

1136
00:52:15,336 --> 00:52:17,736
AUGUST graduation will still

1137
00:52:18,206 --> 00:52:20,341
leave the department short of

1138
00:52:20,341 --> 00:52:22,341
their 1059 budgeted sworn

1139
00:52:22,744 --> 00:52:24,744
strength. Our estimate

1140
00:52:25,146 --> 00:52:28,746
currently is 978 a a year from

1141
00:52:30,510 --> 00:52:34,251
now, next JUNE. Much of this is

1142
00:52:34,856 --> 00:52:37,492
due to projected continuing high

1143
00:52:37,492 --> 00:52:38,560
attrition along with recruitment

1144
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,560
challenges. Those recruitment

1145
00:52:41,950 --> 00:52:42,697
challenges are a national trend

1146
00:52:42,697 --> 00:52:45,970
but the administration continues

1147
00:52:45,367 --> 00:52:46,434
to work with the department to

1148
00:52:46,434 --> 00:52:48,834
improve recruitment efforts with

1149
00:52:48,970 --> 00:52:50,505
the hope of attracting

1150
00:52:50,505 --> 00:52:53,505
additional officers not just in

1151
00:52:54,750 --> 00:52:56,110
fiscal year 2025 and beyond, but

1152
00:52:56,110 --> 00:52:58,479
also to retain existing officers

1153
00:52:58,479 --> 00:53:01,479
as much as possible. Budgeted

1154
00:53:03,485 --> 00:53:06,254
over time for police in fiscal

1155
00:53:06,254 --> 00:53:08,654
year 2025 is just over

1156
00:53:09,924 --> 00:53:12,324
$9.5 million and that does

1157
00:53:12,661 --> 00:53:13,928
include $200,000 that's being

1158
00:53:13,928 --> 00:53:15,397
allocated specifically for

1159
00:53:15,397 --> 00:53:18,397
special event over time that

1160
00:53:19,668 --> 00:53:22,668
will be deployed at the

1161
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,274
discretion of the city manager.

1162
00:53:26,274 --> 00:53:28,274
Over expenditure budget

1163
00:53:28,309 --> 00:53:30,309
highlights include leveraged

1164
00:53:31,460 --> 00:53:32,380
support to provide a brief

1165
00:53:32,380 --> 00:53:34,780
refresher on our leveraged

1166
00:53:35,283 --> 00:53:36,584
support process last year we

1167
00:53:36,584 --> 00:53:37,885
defined leveraged support as

1168
00:53:37,885 --> 00:53:39,821
financial support from the city

1169
00:53:39,821 --> 00:53:42,221
to an external private

1170
00:53:43,591 --> 00:53:44,793
organization either as general

1171
00:53:44,793 --> 00:53:46,940
operating support to fund their

1172
00:53:46,940 --> 00:53:47,929
work or funding a specific

1173
00:53:47,929 --> 00:53:50,899
program to address a pressing

1174
00:53:50,899 --> 00:53:53,968
public need with in the city.

1175
00:53:53,968 --> 00:53:56,710
The application process that was

1176
00:53:56,710 --> 00:53:58,471
instituted last year continued

1177
00:54:00,475 --> 00:54:03,475
again for fiscal year 2025. The

1178
00:54:04,846 --> 00:54:06,846
minimum eligibility criteria

1179
00:54:06,848 --> 00:54:07,749
included that applicants be an

1180
00:54:07,749 --> 00:54:09,749
existing organization with 3

1181
00:54:11,860 --> 00:54:11,953
years of audited financial

1182
00:54:11,953 --> 00:54:13,953
statements. They requested

1183
00:54:14,222 --> 00:54:16,622
amount should be between $50,000

1184
00:54:19,327 --> 00:54:21,727
and $500,000 dollars with only

1185
00:54:22,130 --> 00:54:24,130
extraordinary services to

1186
00:54:24,900 --> 00:54:26,234
consider amounts in excess of

1187
00:54:26,234 --> 00:54:28,234
$500,000. And then certainly

1188
00:54:28,336 --> 00:54:30,539
the services must directly

1189
00:54:30,539 --> 00:54:33,539
benefit city residents under one

1190
00:54:35,143 --> 00:54:36,745
of the identified categories.

1191
00:54:36,745 --> 00:54:39,745
The application process just a

1192
00:54:40,482 --> 00:54:43,151
little bit of background. The

1193
00:54:43,151 --> 00:54:45,860
application portal opened on

1194
00:54:45,860 --> 00:54:47,989
FEBRUARY 12 this year, close odd

1195
00:54:47,989 --> 00:54:49,240
MARCH 24. The city receives

1196
00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:51,240
significantly more applications

1197
00:54:52,270 --> 00:54:55,529
this year than they had in the

1198
00:54:55,529 --> 00:54:57,529
prior year, receiving 168

1199
00:54:59,668 --> 00:55:01,436
applications from 155 unique

1200
00:55:01,436 --> 00:55:03,436
applicants. Applications were

1201
00:55:05,207 --> 00:55:07,142
reviewed and disorder scored by

1202
00:55:07,142 --> 00:55:08,409
staff utilizing the following

1203
00:55:08,409 --> 00:55:10,809
criteria, looking at alignment

1204
00:55:11,790 --> 00:55:14,790
with city priorities the clarity

1205
00:55:14,349 --> 00:55:16,250
of funding proposal. The

1206
00:55:16,250 --> 00:55:18,250
demonstrated expertise including

1207
00:55:20,488 --> 00:55:22,858
prior year performance where

1208
00:55:22,858 --> 00:55:24,920
applicable. Clear identified

1209
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:26,920
capital

1210
00:55:27,362 --> 00:55:30,699
kip kpi as and how the

1211
00:55:30,699 --> 00:55:33,990
organization is funded. The

1212
00:55:33,535 --> 00:55:35,670
final recommendation was to

1213
00:55:35,670 --> 00:55:37,670
allocate $4 millions of

1214
00:55:39,407 --> 00:55:41,407
leveraged support to 31

1215
00:55:41,643 --> 00:55:43,277
organizations. That looked at

1216
00:55:43,277 --> 00:55:46,277
not only application scoring but

1217
00:55:49,251 --> 00:55:51,352
himself a review of those

1218
00:55:51,352 --> 00:55:53,388
organizations and their receipt

1219
00:55:53,388 --> 00:55:55,457
of receiving city funding from

1220
00:55:55,457 --> 00:55:59,570
from a variety of sources from

1221
00:56:00,362 --> 00:56:03,310
current and prior years. These

1222
00:56:03,310 --> 00:56:06,310
next several charts provide the

1223
00:56:06,835 --> 00:56:08,303
breakdown of the leveraged

1224
00:56:08,303 --> 00:56:10,138
support recipients by

1225
00:56:10,138 --> 00:56:13,138
categories. I won't go into

1226
00:56:13,374 --> 00:56:15,911
each and every category, but

1227
00:56:15,911 --> 00:56:18,680
this first chart shows the

1228
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,800
allocation within the arts

1229
00:56:21,316 --> 00:56:24,316
category as well as economic

1230
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,920
development and neighborhood

1231
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:31,424
support. Next three categories

1232
00:56:32,894 --> 00:56:35,363
are on this slide this includes

1233
00:56:35,363 --> 00:56:36,898
the environment, equity

1234
00:56:36,898 --> 00:56:39,298
inclusion, as well as

1235
00:56:41,469 --> 00:56:43,469
homelessness and eviction

1236
00:56:46,742 --> 00:56:49,770
prevention. And the last two

1237
00:56:49,770 --> 00:56:49,810
remaining categories are the

1238
00:56:49,810 --> 00:56:52,210
allocations for human services

1239
00:56:52,514 --> 00:56:55,514
and violence prevention as well

1240
00:56:56,385 --> 00:56:59,870
as work force programming and

1241
00:56:59,870 --> 00:57:01,487
important reduction, grand total

1242
00:57:04,590 --> 00:57:06,590
$4 millions across all 7

1243
00:57:07,763 --> 00:57:09,531
categories. Additional

1244
00:57:09,531 --> 00:57:11,931
highlights related to leveraged

1245
00:57:12,734 --> 00:57:15,771
support is the funding for human

1246
00:57:15,771 --> 00:57:18,771
services as well as city

1247
00:57:19,241 --> 00:57:20,475
operations program support. The

1248
00:57:20,475 --> 00:57:21,777
leveraged support definition

1249
00:57:21,777 --> 00:57:24,245
does not include city funding

1250
00:57:24,245 --> 00:57:26,140
ever third parties to perform

1251
00:57:26,140 --> 00:57:28,414
programs considered to be

1252
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,722
elements of city operations. Of

1253
00:57:34,722 --> 00:57:37,122
those organizations that fit

1254
00:57:37,491 --> 00:57:39,891
into this operations program

1255
00:57:40,462 --> 00:57:42,862
attic support there is

1256
00:57:43,499 --> 00:57:45,499
$13.6 million allocated. That

1257
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:49,601
also includes the amount for the

1258
00:57:50,305 --> 00:57:53,305
human services fund. The human

1259
00:57:54,910 --> 00:57:56,144
services fund is just over

1260
00:57:56,144 --> 00:57:58,544
$8.5 million for fiscal year

1261
00:57:59,414 --> 00:58:01,550
2025 it is in line with the

1262
00:58:01,550 --> 00:58:02,918
updated human services

1263
00:58:02,918 --> 00:58:05,153
strategies and priorities plan

1264
00:58:05,153 --> 00:58:08,753
and it does meet the requirement

1265
00:58:09,157 --> 00:58:11,326
of allocating 1.5% of general

1266
00:58:11,326 --> 00:58:13,726
fund operating budget revenue

1267
00:58:15,964 --> 00:58:18,964
for human services. This slide

1268
00:58:19,902 --> 00:58:22,902
shows the list of organizations

1269
00:58:23,639 --> 00:58:26,390
and activities that are

1270
00:58:26,875 --> 00:58:28,110
designated for city operations

1271
00:58:28,110 --> 00:58:31,110
programmatic support as well as

1272
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,680
human services which gets us to

1273
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,720
that $13.6 million. Highlights

1274
00:58:41,522 --> 00:58:45,194
with in the budget in terms of

1275
00:58:45,194 --> 00:58:47,194
fiscal sustainability, it's

1276
00:58:49,465 --> 00:58:51,466
number one item here is

1277
00:58:51,466 --> 00:58:53,402
continued investment in the

1278
00:58:53,402 --> 00:58:53,769

contribution rate of 17-point

1285
00:59:05,180 --> 00:59:07,180
75%. That's a.57%

1286
00:59:08,250 --> 00:59:10,185
acknowledge point increase over

1287
00:59:10,185 --> 00:59:12,585
the fiscal year 2024 amount.

1288
00:59:13,322 --> 00:59:15,758
Fiscal year 2024 had been at 17%

1289
00:59:15,758 --> 00:59:19,358
for fiscal year 2025 it will be

1290
00:59:19,461 --> 00:59:22,461
17-point 75% and that will apply

1291
00:59:23,598 --> 00:59:25,598
across all funds.

1292
00:59:26,235 --> 00:59:27,360
In terms of fiscal

1293
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:28,736
sustainability, the budget

1294
00:59:28,736 --> 00:59:30,736
includes continuation of

1295
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:32,907
resources for our federal grant

1296
00:59:32,907 --> 00:59:35,307
funding consultant. So that

1297
00:59:36,445 --> 00:59:37,913
will continue as we continue to

1298
00:59:37,913 --> 00:59:40,313
pursue those grant opportunities

1299
00:59:40,916 --> 00:59:43,385
when they become available. And

1300
00:59:43,385 --> 00:59:45,785
as previously mentioned, one

1301
00:59:45,954 --> 00:59:48,570
time resources for the final

1302
00:59:48,570 --> 00:59:50,125
phase of public safety

1303
00:59:50,125 --> 00:59:51,727
facilities master plan the goal

1304
00:59:51,727 --> 00:59:54,229
is to ensure efficient and

1305
00:59:54,229 --> 00:59:55,864
thoughtful capital planning and

1306
00:59:55,864 --> 00:59:58,264
resource deployment in future

1307
00:59:58,667 --> 01:00:01,667
fiscal years based on the

1308
01:00:03,706 --> 01:00:06,141
findings of that master plan

1309
01:00:06,141 --> 01:00:08,141

fiscal year 2024 as well as new

1329
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,560
positions in 2025 which include

1330
01:01:01,664 --> 01:01:04,990
a second shift of staffing to

support praying as smale river

1332
01:01:07,403 --> 01:01:09,104
praises at smale riverfront.

1333
01:01:09,104 --> 01:01:11,104
Buildings & inspections adds 9

1334
01:01:11,239 --> 01:01:13,842
fte that includes a assistant

01:01:13,842 --> 01:01:15,511
supervisor of inspects to be

1336
01:01:15,511 --> 01:01:17,911
involved and support the

1337
01:01:19,281 --> 01:01:21,681
building inspector train academy

1338
01:01:22,818 --> 01:01:26,522
as well as bike lane is add b&I

1339
01:01:26,522 --> 01:01:30,122
and that there will be dedicated

1340
01:01:30,326 --> 01:01:31,460
inspector staff for large scale

1341
01:01:31,460 --> 01:01:33,460
development projects

1342
01:01:34,630 --> 01:01:35,764
specifically starting with the

1343
01:01:35,764 --> 01:01:36,531
convention center project,

1344
01:01:36,531 --> 01:01:38,931
redevelopment project, so there

1345
01:01:39,367 --> 01:01:40,869
will be a dedicated group of

1346
01:01:40,869 --> 01:01:43,269
inspectors to handing those

1347
01:01:45,807 --> 01:01:48,207
large scale projects. Some

1348
01:01:48,944 --> 01:01:51,344
highlights on the restricted

1349
01:01:52,114 --> 01:01:54,517
funds as I means the convention

1350
01:01:54,517 --> 01:01:57,517
center which w the renovation

1351
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,556
for the closure of duke energy

1352
01:02:00,556 --> 01:02:02,557
convention center the fiscal

1353
01:02:02,557 --> 01:02:04,557
year 2025 recommended budget

1354
01:02:08,364 --> 01:02:09,932
update reflects that as revenues

1355
01:02:09,932 --> 01:02:11,400
and expenditures are impacted

1356
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,435
while that work is going on.

1357
01:02:13,435 --> 01:02:15,835
The income tax infrastructure

1358
01:02:16,772 --> 01:02:19,107
fund we did need to take some

1359
01:02:19,107 --> 01:02:21,507
reductions of various items

1360
01:02:22,211 --> 01:02:23,913
within that fund. The income

1361
01:02:23,913 --> 01:02:25,647
tax infrastructure fund is a

1362
01:02:25,647 --> 01:02:28,117
fund that bears watching as we

1363
01:02:28,117 --> 01:02:30,419
need to make sure we have a

1364
01:02:30,419 --> 01:02:31,620
stable fund balance.

1365
01:02:31,620 --> 01:02:34,200
Expenditures continue to out

1366
01:02:34,924 --> 01:02:36,525
pace revenues in that fund so

1367
01:02:36,525 --> 01:02:40,125
that is something that we are

1368
01:02:42,998 --> 01:02:43,733
continuing to monitor. And in

1369
01:02:43,733 --> 01:02:45,801
the waterworks waterworks and

1370
01:02:45,801 --> 01:02:47,169
that ex suspension the lead

1371
01:02:47,169 --> 01:02:48,471
service line replacement plan

1372
01:02:48,471 --> 01:02:51,540
which is in response to changes

1373
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:55,140
at the time federal level for

1374
01:02:57,379 --> 01:02:59,348
lead program requirements. All

1375
01:02:59,348 --> 01:03:02,348
right. Shifting gears to the

1376
01:03:06,288 --> 01:03:08,688
capital budget. Our recommended

1377
01:03:09,158 --> 01:03:11,894
all funds capital budget update

1378
01:03:11,894 --> 01:03:14,296
is depicted here on this

1379
01:03:14,296 --> 01:03:17,296
particular chart. As can you

1380
01:03:19,670 --> 01:03:20,669
see the majority of our all

1381
01:03:20,669 --> 01:03:23,690
funds capital budget is

1382
01:03:23,472 --> 01:03:25,207
allocated to the utilities

1383
01:03:25,207 --> 01:03:28,207
between msd and waterworks that

1384
01:03:29,979 --> 01:03:32,548
takes up the majority of that.

1385
01:03:32,548 --> 01:03:35,417
The general capital budget us

1386
01:03:35,417 --> 01:03:39,170
just arched 25%. In all the all

1387
01:03:41,524 --> 01:03:43,592
funds call tall budget update is

1388
01:03:43,592 --> 01:03:45,992
$621.3 million. Drilling down a

1389
01:03:46,328 --> 01:03:49,398
little by the into that general

1390
01:03:49,398 --> 01:03:52,398
capital piece, this shows the

1391
01:03:54,136 --> 01:03:55,370
general capital resources of

1392
01:03:55,370 --> 01:03:57,770
105-pointed million dollars and

1393
01:04:00,750 --> 01:04:03,675
this shows the breakdown. We do

1394
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,416
have property tax supported

1395
01:04:10,152 --> 01:04:12,552
[Indiscernible] In the general

1396
01:04:16,592 --> 01:04:18,461
capital budget. We have 16.6%

1397
01:04:18,461 --> 01:04:19,695
which is labeled as general fund

1398
01:04:19,695 --> 01:04:22,631
these are the american rescue

1399
01:04:22,631 --> 01:04:23,366
plan resources that are being

1400
01:04:23,366 --> 01:04:25,766
transferred into the capital

1401
01:04:29,205 --> 01:04:31,707
budget. And then lastly just

1402
01:04:31,707 --> 01:04:34,107
under 28% is southern railway

1403
01:04:34,544 --> 01:04:35,244
revenue. These are the

1404
01:04:35,244 --> 01:04:37,644
$29.2 million that the rail

1405
01:04:37,947 --> 01:04:40,850
board provided to the city

1406
01:04:40,850 --> 01:04:42,285
primarily from a transactions

1407
01:04:42,285 --> 01:04:45,885
fees from the sale of the

1408
01:04:48,958 --> 01:04:51,294
southern railway. How those

1409
01:04:51,294 --> 01:04:53,296
general capital revenues are

1410
01:04:53,296 --> 01:04:55,696
allocated this shows the

1411
01:04:57,900 --> 01:04:59,101
breakdown of that $105.9 million

1412
01:04:59,101 --> 01:05:01,101
by department. Transportation

1413
01:05:01,103 --> 01:05:03,105
and engineering is our single

1414
01:05:03,105 --> 01:05:05,505
largest recipient of general

1415
01:05:06,809 --> 01:05:09,209
capital resources, given the

1416
01:05:09,512 --> 01:05:11,912
maintenance of roads, bridges,

1417
01:05:12,448 --> 01:05:13,950
traffic signal infrastructure,

1418
01:05:13,950 --> 01:05:15,751
those types of items are

1419
01:05:15,751 --> 01:05:17,619
included in transportation and

1420
01:05:17,619 --> 01:05:19,619
engineering. Public services

1421
01:05:21,557 --> 01:05:24,557
our next biggest which includes

1422
01:05:24,927 --> 01:05:26,280
not only our fleet, but also our

1423
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:27,930
city facility management so

1424
01:05:27,930 --> 01:05:30,930
that's maintenance and repair of

1425
01:05:33,335 --> 01:05:34,700
our city facilities. With the

1426
01:05:34,700 --> 01:05:36,700
significant investment of

1427
01:05:36,105 --> 01:05:38,505
general fund resources into

1428
01:05:38,908 --> 01:05:40,908
community and economic

1429
01:05:42,578 --> 01:05:43,279
development, we see department

1430
01:05:43,279 --> 01:05:45,679
of community and economic

1431
01:05:46,816 --> 01:05:48,684

Enterprise technology solutions,

1433
01:05:51,154 --> 01:05:54,257
at just under 10%, and then a

1434
01:05:54,257 --> 01:05:57,257
variety of other departments and

1442
01:06:14,210 --> 01:06:16,610
500,000-dollar per lane mile

1443
01:06:16,612 --> 01:06:19,612
estimate this should ruled in 24

1444
01:06:20,616 --> 01:06:22,616
lane miles of

1445
01:06:23,850 --> 01:06:26,850
rehabs reaks and 19 lane miles

1446
01:06:28,910 --> 01:06:29,392
of preventive maintenance. The

1447
01:06:29,392 --> 01:06:31,392
total fleet replacement

1448
01:06:31,561 --> 01:06:33,561
allocation is $13.1 million.

1449
01:06:34,897 --> 01:06:37,897
This includes a basal indication

1450
01:06:39,802 --> 01:06:40,503
of $11.1 million plus additional

1451
01:06:40,503 --> 01:06:42,903
$2 million of general fund

1452
01:06:45,408 --> 01:06:46,109

business district improvemental

1455
01:06:51,747 --> 01:06:54,147
indication has historically been

1456
01:06:54,584 --> 01:06:56,219
at $2 million. Additional

1457
01:06:56,219 --> 01:06:58,219
$3 million general fund

1458
01:06:59,455 --> 01:07:01,855

01:07:02,258 --> 01:07:04,658
allocation to nbdip bringing

1460
01:07:04,727 --> 01:07:07,127
that to $5 million. $5 million

cincinnati sustainability

1463
01:07:12,268 --> 01:07:13,703
initiatives. This will help to

1464
01:07:13,703 --> 01:07:16,103
advance the green cincinnati

1465
01:07:16,772 --> 01:07:19,108
plan goals but also to be

1466
01:07:19,108 --> 01:07:21,677
utilized in the revolving energy

1467
01:07:21,677 --> 01:07:23,546
loan fund to leverage those

1468
01:07:23,546 --> 01:07:25,347
direct pay benefits and funding

1469
01:07:25,347 --> 01:07:27,283
can be used for vehicles,

1470
01:07:27,283 --> 01:07:29,283
equipment and infrastructure

1471
01:07:29,285 --> 01:07:30,887
related to any alternative

storage and use. $3 million is

1474
01:07:37,827 --> 01:07:39,963
included for the victory parkway

1475
01:07:39,963 --> 01:07:41,998
complete street project. This

1476
01:07:41,998 --> 01:07:44,767
provides local match to leverage

1477
01:07:44,767 --> 01:07:47,167
grant funding, specifically this

1478
01:07:47,769 --> 01:07:49,839
would be the park avenue bridge

1479
01:07:49,839 --> 01:07:52,239
rehabilitation and converting a

1480
01:07:53,509 --> 01:07:57,109
portion of victory parkway to a

1481
01:07:57,347 --> 01:07:59,747
complete street. The funds

1482
01:08:01,377 --> 01:08:01,551
capital budget difficult voted

1483
01:08:01,551 --> 01:08:03,653
to affordable housing trust

1484
01:08:03,653 --> 01:08:05,254
funding increases to $400,000.

1485
01:08:05,254 --> 01:08:07,390
And that revenue growth

1486
01:08:07,390 --> 01:08:10,930
generated by the short term

1487
01:08:10,930 --> 01:08:11,661
rental exercise tax. So that

1488
01:08:11,661 --> 01:08:13,661
additional $400,000 brings that

1489
01:08:15,365 --> 01:08:17,765
allocation to $1.9 million for

1490
01:08:17,834 --> 01:08:18,934

01:09:21,464 --> 01:09:23,864
we're next presentation will

1511
01:09:26,702 --> 01:09:29,138
provide a much deeper dive into

1512
01:09:29,138 --> 01:09:31,538
these expenditures. But the

1513
01:09:31,707 --> 01:09:32,408
recommended capital budget does

1514
01:09:32,408 --> 01:09:34,408
include $29.2 million of

1515
01:09:34,944 --> 01:09:37,344
southern railway revenue in

1516
01:09:38,547 --> 01:09:40,116
fiscal year 2025. This is our

1517
01:09:40,116 --> 01:09:41,750
transition year. Fiscal year

1518
01:09:41,750 --> 01:09:44,750
2026 would be the first year

1519
01:09:47,824 --> 01:09:50,824
that we would receive revenue

1520
01:09:51,628 --> 01:09:54,628
from the invested sale proceeds

1521
01:09:55,532 --> 01:09:57,932
from that infrastructure trust.

1522
01:09:59,502 --> 01:10:00,236
Even sew for 2025 this is a

1523
01:10:00,236 --> 01:10:01,471
$2.8 million I can crease over

1524
01:10:01,471 --> 01:10:03,600
what we had estimated.

1525
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:04,874
Would be received under our

1526
01:10:04,874 --> 01:10:06,874
previous lease arrangement.

1527
01:10:07,710 --> 01:10:11,281
These funds can only be used on

1528
01:10:11,281 --> 01:10:13,281
existing city infrastructure.

1529
01:10:13,550 --> 01:10:15,985
The breakdown by department in

1530
01:10:15,985 --> 01:10:18,985
terms of that csr revenue,

1531
01:10:19,956 --> 01:10:21,956
transportation and engineering

1532
01:10:22,659 --> 01:10:24,659
at $17.9 million, $3.7 million

1533
01:10:24,794 --> 01:10:27,194
to recreation, $2.7 million to

1534
01:10:28,564 --> 01:10:29,265
public services, $2.7 million to

1535
01:10:29,265 --> 01:10:31,665
parks, $2.1 million to health

1536
01:10:32,168 --> 01:10:33,336
gets us to the total. As I

1537
01:10:33,336 --> 01:10:35,572
indicated, each department will

1538
01:10:35,572 --> 01:10:37,700
be presenting separately on

1539
01:10:37,700 --> 01:10:39,609
their planned use the cincy on

1540
01:10:39,609 --> 01:10:41,778
trac funding. Looking at both

1541
01:10:41,778 --> 01:10:44,614
at the major project level but

1542
01:10:44,614 --> 01:10:46,490
also highlighting some of the

1543
01:10:46,490 --> 01:10:47,550
sub projects that will be

1544
01:10:47,550 --> 01:10:50,550
included. I think it is

1545
01:10:52,322 --> 01:10:54,224
important to note that given the

1546
01:10:54,224 --> 01:10:56,224
city's deferred maintenance

1547
01:10:56,359 --> 01:10:59,620
needs and the significant bag

1548
01:10:59,620 --> 01:11:00,163
log that we have had and

1549
01:11:00,163 --> 01:11:02,163
continue to have

1550
01:11:02,365 --> 01:11:04,765
departments are presenting their

1551
01:11:04,801 --> 01:11:07,770
planned use of these resources,

1552
01:11:07,770 --> 01:11:11,370
but those are subject to change

1553
01:11:13,977 --> 01:11:15,545
as we have critical failures or

1554
01:11:15,545 --> 01:11:18,545
other important things come up

1555
01:11:19,816 --> 01:11:22,216
that might need to

1556
01:11:22,352 --> 01:11:24,120
reprioritized. So, so keep that

1557
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:27,457
in mind as we move forward

1558
01:11:27,457 --> 01:11:30,457
through this process. And with

1559
01:11:31,795 --> 01:11:32,596
that, I'll take questions.

1560
01:11:32,596 --> 01:11:34,930
>> Councilmember Harris: I need

1561
01:11:34,930 --> 01:11:37,330
to stand up and stretch a

1562
01:11:37,330 --> 01:11:40,330
moment. I'm sorry. I really

1563
01:11:41,304 --> 01:11:44,700
did though. Let's do this, can

1564
01:11:44,700 --> 01:11:46,176
we bring up zoom any want to

1565
01:11:46,176 --> 01:11:48,144
check in with vice chair

1566
01:11:48,144 --> 01:11:51,744
cramerding and the vice mayor to

1567
01:11:53,516 --> 01:11:54,184
see if they had any questions.

1568
01:11:54,184 --> 01:11:55,840
>> Vice Mayor Kearney:

1569
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:57,200
MR. CHAIRMAN, thank you so much.

1570
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:58,521
This is, these reports are great

1571
01:11:58,521 --> 01:12:01,290
and we're going through them.

1572
01:12:01,290 --> 01:12:03,426
It is a lot of of information,

1573
01:12:03,426 --> 01:12:04,561
well put together, very

1574
01:12:04,561 --> 01:12:06,830
understandable and so at this

1575
01:12:06,830 --> 01:12:08,832
point I don't have any

1576
01:12:08,832 --> 01:12:12,135
questions, just taking it all in

1577
01:12:12,135 --> 01:12:14,135
and appreciate this

1578
01:12:15,272 --> 01:12:16,106
presentation.

1579
01:12:16,106 --> 01:12:17,173
>> Councilmember Cramerding: DR.

1580
01:12:17,173 --> 01:12:18,141
Dudas, could you -- thank you,

1581
01:12:18,141 --> 01:12:19,276
MR. CHAIRMAN, appreciate it.

1582
01:12:19,276 --> 01:12:21,611
DR. Dudas could you just walk

1583
01:12:21,611 --> 01:12:23,747
through the perimeters of the

1584
01:12:23,747 --> 01:12:26,490
public safety facilities master

1585
01:12:26,490 --> 01:12:27,384
plan, what that plan will

1586
01:12:27,384 --> 01:12:29,319
encompass, and then just, you

1587
01:12:29,319 --> 01:12:32,319
know, we've got that important

1588
01:12:32,422 --> 01:12:34,423
plan in the works. In the

1589
01:12:34,423 --> 01:12:37,423
interim we have investments in

1590
01:12:37,894 --> 01:12:39,894
infrastructure, investments in

1591
01:12:40,997 --> 01:12:43,967
fleet, how are we -- how do we

1592
01:12:43,967 --> 01:12:47,537
know where to spend money when

1593
01:12:47,537 --> 01:12:50,537
the plan is in progress?

1594
01:12:50,774 --> 01:12:54,440
>> to the chair, to the vice

1595
01:12:54,440 --> 01:12:56,444
chair, the facilities plan

1596
01:12:57,547 --> 01:12:58,982
shooed look at all aspects of

1597
01:12:58,982 --> 01:13:00,350
our public safety facilities,

1598
01:13:00,350 --> 01:13:03,252
not just the locations but the

1599
01:13:03,252 --> 01:13:05,652
calls for service, response

1600
01:13:11,928 --> 01:13:14,431
time, the staffing, the age and

1601
01:13:14,431 --> 01:13:15,899
relative maintenance needs of

1602
01:13:15,899 --> 01:13:18,168
those facilities, so it should

1603
01:13:18,168 --> 01:13:20,568
be relatively all encompassing

1604
01:13:21,738 --> 01:13:22,439
in terms of that. Keep

1605
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,674
cincinnati beautiful. I think

1606
01:13:24,674 --> 01:13:27,377
once we have the results of that

1607
01:13:27,377 --> 01:13:30,977
master plan I think the goal

1608
01:13:32,816 --> 01:13:34,718
then would be to reevaluate our

1609
01:13:34,718 --> 01:13:36,718
existing public safety

1610
01:13:36,753 --> 01:13:38,753
facilities and make

1611
01:13:39,489 --> 01:13:42,325
determinations as to where to,

1612
01:13:42,325 --> 01:13:45,925
where would be best to invest

1613
01:13:55,672 --> 01:13:56,473
our infrastructure dollars.

1614
01:13:56,473 --> 01:13:57,174
>> Councilmember Cramerding: --

1615
01:13:57,174 --> 01:13:59,175
we write I think is a good

1616
01:13:59,175 --> 01:14:01,578
thing, where are we encouraging

1617
01:14:01,578 --> 01:14:04,578
the enterprise funds water and

1618
01:14:04,815 --> 01:14:07,483
msd to do the same as far as

1619
01:14:07,483 --> 01:14:07,918
increasing their pension

1620
01:14:07,918 --> 01:14:09,860
contribution?

1621
01:14:09,860 --> 01:14:12,686
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, to

1622
01:14:13,289 --> 01:14:16,289
the vice chair, the budget

1623
01:14:16,860 --> 01:14:18,860
includes that 17.75 employer

1624
01:14:20,564 --> 01:14:23,100
contribution rate for all funds.

1625
01:14:23,100 --> 01:14:26,700
So, all of the restricted funds

1626
01:14:27,237 --> 01:14:28,705
will be contributing that amount

1627
01:14:28,705 --> 01:14:29,473
beginning in fiscal year 2025.

1628
01:14:29,473 --> 01:14:31,441
>> Councilmember Cramerding:

1629
01:14:31,441 --> 01:14:34,441
that's great, that includes msd?

1630
01:14:35,511 --> 01:14:36,279
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, yes.

1631
01:14:36,279 --> 01:14:38,279
>> Councilmember Cramerding:

1632
01:14:39,682 --> 01:14:40,484
thank you.

1633
01:14:40,484 --> 01:14:42,484
>> Councilmember Harris: okay.

1634
01:14:42,486 --> 01:14:44,421
All right. Got through the

1635
01:14:44,421 --> 01:14:45,956
first half, let's move to the

1636
01:14:45,956 --> 01:14:48,580
second half. You have a

1637
01:14:48,580 --> 01:14:49,126
question, councilmember

1638
01:14:49,126 --> 01:14:49,926
jeffreys?

1639
01:14:49,926 --> 01:14:51,926
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: just

1640
01:14:52,129 --> 01:14:56,233
so first of all I thinks we

1641
01:14:56,233 --> 01:14:57,200
should point out this is

1642
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:58,835
structurally balanced so that's

1643
01:14:58,835 --> 01:15:02,435
no small thing. I think that's

1644
01:15:04,173 --> 01:15:05,975
a big thing. For 2026-2029 can

1645
01:15:05,975 --> 01:15:07,440
you talk through so we have

1646
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:10,440
visibility the deficits in the

1647
01:15:11,281 --> 01:15:14,881
out years like what those are?

1648
01:15:15,118 --> 01:15:17,200
>> yes, to the chair, do

1649
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:17,988
to the

1650
01:15:17,988 --> 01:15:19,988
councilmember. Those deficits

1651
01:15:21,910 --> 01:15:24,691
will continue to inn crease. I

1652
01:15:24,995 --> 01:15:26,960
think it is important to note

1653
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,632
last year at this time we looked

1654
01:15:28,632 --> 01:15:30,233
at the out year deficits as

1655
01:15:30,233 --> 01:15:32,233
being pretty significant

1656
01:15:32,735 --> 01:15:35,735
property I quickly. What the

1657
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,640
revenue increases here in fiscal

1658
01:15:41,645 --> 01:15:44,450
year 2025 probably means that

1659
01:15:44,614 --> 01:15:46,550
our significant deficits are

1660
01:15:46,550 --> 01:15:50,150
delayed a little bit. I believe

1661
01:15:51,521 --> 01:15:53,490
our fiscal year 2026 deficit I

1662
01:15:53,490 --> 01:15:54,725
don't have the apologies to not

1663
01:15:54,725 --> 01:15:57,728
have the numbers right in front

1664
01:15:57,728 --> 01:15:59,763
of me, but we're looking at the

1665
01:15:59,763 --> 01:16:01,640
neighborhood of under

1666
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,299
$10 million and then steadily

1667
01:16:03,299 --> 01:16:06,370
growing after that. I think the

1668
01:16:06,370 --> 01:16:09,970
big component to realize is that

1669
01:16:13,377 --> 01:16:16,346
our projections for all of our

1670
01:16:16,346 --> 01:16:17,714
city employees if there is not a

1671
01:16:17,714 --> 01:16:20,714
bargaining agreement in place we

1672
01:16:22,519 --> 01:16:25,519
have used a 2% wage increase

1673
01:16:25,889 --> 01:16:28,859
factor for those out years. So,

1674
01:16:28,859 --> 01:16:31,280
keep in mind that those deficits

1675
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:34,628
could grow if there are labor

1676
01:16:35,980 --> 01:16:35,899
agreements in excess of that 2%.

1677
01:16:35,899 --> 01:16:37,899
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: that

1678
01:16:38,902 --> 01:16:40,971
makes sense. And the

1679
01:16:40,971 --> 01:16:42,971
connecticut contingency rewhat

1680
01:16:43,730 --> 01:16:45,109
does that bring us up to for the

1681
01:16:45,109 --> 01:16:47,109
toal roughly.

1682
01:16:47,377 --> 01:16:48,712
>> DR. Dudas: so this, so just

1683
01:16:48,712 --> 01:16:51,140
to make sure we're clear on what

1684
01:16:51,140 --> 01:16:54,140
we're talking about, the reserve

1685
01:16:54,351 --> 01:16:56,320
for contingencies in this case

1686
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,320
that $4.1 million, this is a

1687
01:16:59,323 --> 01:17:02,323
general fund non departmental a

1688
01:17:02,893 --> 01:17:03,828
count, so it is not included

1689
01:17:03,828 --> 01:17:05,462
with our other strategic

1690
01:17:05,462 --> 01:17:07,862
reserves like the working

1691
01:17:08,499 --> 01:17:10,734
capital reserve or the weather

1692
01:17:10,734 --> 01:17:12,936
reserve or those formal reserves

1693
01:17:12,936 --> 01:17:15,506
that we top off each year as

1694
01:17:15,506 --> 01:17:18,375
part of the close out process.

1695
01:17:18,375 --> 01:17:19,877
So there was an additional

1696
01:17:19,877 --> 01:17:22,877
$4.1 million added to that I

1697
01:17:23,213 --> 01:17:25,820
believe the total in that a

1698
01:17:25,820 --> 01:17:28,820
count as recommended is about

1699
01:17:30,530 --> 01:17:32,289
4-point $4 millions. Just under

1700
01:17:32,289 --> 01:17:35,889
$4.1 million of that is what the

1701
01:17:37,161 --> 01:17:40,761
mayor has proposed as his source

1702
01:17:41,298 --> 01:17:43,333
for the budget adjustment that

1703
01:17:43,333 --> 01:17:46,700
he proposed upon releasing the

1704
01:17:46,700 --> 01:17:47,104
budget last week.

1705
01:17:47,104 --> 01:17:48,105
>> Councilmember Jeffreys: got

1706
01:17:48,105 --> 01:17:50,173
it. Have I other questions that

1707
01:17:50,173 --> 01:17:53,773
I will takeoff line. Safe and

1708
01:17:54,511 --> 01:17:56,947
clean I notice it had jump oud

1709
01:17:56,947 --> 01:17:58,614
at $500,000 and zero this year.

1710
01:17:58,614 --> 01:17:59,550
How are we think being safe and

1711
01:17:59,550 --> 01:18:00,918
clean fund?

1712
01:18:00,918 --> 01:18:01,819
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, to

1713
01:18:01,819 --> 01:18:04,219
the councilmember member, safe

1714
01:18:04,755 --> 01:18:06,423
and clean was not included in

1715
01:18:06,423 --> 01:18:08,425
the city manager recommended

1716
01:18:08,425 --> 01:18:10,561
budget, however I believe the

1717
01:18:10,561 --> 01:18:12,561
mayor's adjustment includes

1718
01:18:20,770 --> 01:18:21,572
$500,000 for that program.

1719
01:18:21,572 --> 01:18:22,740
>> Councilmember Walsh: three

1720
01:18:22,740 --> 01:18:24,508
things I want to compliment you

1721
01:18:24,508 --> 01:18:26,644
and your team on put this budget

1722
01:18:26,644 --> 01:18:27,878
together. I read it over the

1723
01:18:27,878 --> 01:18:29,947
weekend. It is incredibly

1724
01:18:29,947 --> 01:18:31,615
in-depth and detail and I talked

1725
01:18:31,615 --> 01:18:33,550
to the few others who have red

1726
01:18:33,550 --> 01:18:35,152
many over the years and this is

1727
01:18:35,152 --> 01:18:36,320
most transparent budget we have

1728
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,122
had yesterday yet I appreciate

1729
01:18:38,122 --> 01:18:39,590
all the work that's gone into

1730
01:18:39,590 --> 01:18:41,392
this. Because I mean really you

1731
01:18:41,392 --> 01:18:42,693
can get a great sense of what's

1732
01:18:42,693 --> 01:18:44,795
going on with the city and that

1733
01:18:44,795 --> 01:18:45,695
plans are moving forward reading

1734
01:18:45,695 --> 01:18:47,698
every little note that you have

1735
01:18:47,698 --> 01:18:49,266
along the way. I want to get a

1736
01:18:49,266 --> 01:18:51,502
special call out I appreciate

1737
01:18:51,502 --> 01:18:53,303
funding for the special projects

1738
01:18:53,303 --> 01:18:55,406
team satellite office and H.R.

1739
01:18:55,406 --> 01:18:56,240
Comp study. Those will be

1740
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,609
impact foul for the work we're

1741
01:18:58,609 --> 01:18:59,576
trying to do as a council and

1742
01:18:59,576 --> 01:19:02,146
city going forward. The only

1743
01:19:02,146 --> 01:19:03,614
question I have at this point I

1744
01:19:03,614 --> 01:19:05,582
have a plethora of questions I

1745
01:19:05,582 --> 01:19:07,500
will ask off line I will save

1746
01:19:07,500 --> 01:19:08,850
council some time today.

1747
01:19:08,850 --> 01:19:09,419
Building offer councilmember

1748
01:19:09,419 --> 01:19:11,550
jeffreys' questions there, can

1749
01:19:11,550 --> 01:19:12,957
you just re -- so I understand

1750
01:19:12,957 --> 01:19:15,357
you correctly the contingency

1751
01:19:17,394 --> 01:19:19,630
that was set aside is remaryland

1752
01:19:19,630 --> 01:19:22,630
what resilience so two part

1753
01:19:22,132 --> 01:19:24,535
question, how much is left of

1754
01:19:24,535 --> 01:19:26,770
that and two I think if I was

1755
01:19:26,770 --> 01:19:28,771
reading correctly we lowered how

1756
01:19:28,771 --> 01:19:30,874
much arp money we put in to

1757
01:19:30,874 --> 01:19:32,743
close some gaps, is there any

1758
01:19:32,743 --> 01:19:34,511
arp money left?

1759
01:19:34,511 --> 01:19:36,313
Throws my two part questions.

1760
01:19:36,313 --> 01:19:39,160
>> DR. Dudas: to the chair, to

1761
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,416
the councilmember the first

1762
01:19:41,886 --> 01:19:44,886
question within that reserve for

1763
01:19:46,457 --> 01:19:47,892
contingency I think the after

1764
01:19:47,892 --> 01:19:50,126
the mayor's utilization I want

1765
01:19:50,126 --> 01:19:52,263
to say there is $380,000, I

1766
01:19:52,263 --> 01:19:53,863
would have to confirm that exact

1767
01:19:53,863 --> 01:19:56,200
amount but there would be a

1768
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,800
small amount there. So not all

1769
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,608
of it is being utilized by the

1770
01:20:04,608 --> 01:20:07,608
mayor. Second question, and as

1771
01:20:08,979 --> 01:20:12,216
far as the american rescue plan

1772
01:20:12,216 --> 01:20:14,616
dollars, this $25.2 million that

1773
01:20:15,286 --> 01:20:17,321
we're utilizing here in this

1774
01:20:17,321 --> 01:20:20,921
budget is the final amount that

1775
01:20:21,225 --> 01:20:24,825
we had set aside for fiscal

1776
01:20:25,763 --> 01:20:29,363
stability. The only -- with the

1777
01:20:29,934 --> 01:20:31,334
coming expiration of the

1778
01:20:31,334 --> 01:20:33,670
dollars, dollars have to be

1779
01:20:33,670 --> 01:20:35,605
encumbered by the end of this

1780
01:20:35,605 --> 01:20:38,500
calendar year. The only

1781
01:20:38,275 --> 01:20:40,760
additional arp that might result

1782
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,760
would be any external dollars

1783
01:20:43,914 --> 01:20:45,216
that were provided that could be

1784
01:20:45,216 --> 01:20:47,851
returned as of now there is

1785
01:20:47,851 --> 01:20:50,321
nothing that has been returned

1786
01:20:50,321 --> 01:20:52,223
but that does not mean over the

1787
01:20:52,223 --> 01:20:54,191
next several months that that

1788
01:20:54,191 --> 01:20:56,260
might not happen as we go

1789
01:20:56,260 --> 01:20:59,260
through our quarterly reports to

1790
01:21:00,197 --> 01:21:02,299
the department of treasury we

1791
01:21:02,299 --> 01:21:05,299
review spending and work with

1792
01:21:05,636 --> 01:21:07,370
any entities. I will say the

1793
01:21:07,370 --> 01:21:09,437
vast, overwhelming majority of

1794
01:21:11,275 --> 01:21:12,809
funds that have well allocated

1795
01:21:12,809 --> 01:21:16,409
have been spent down but there

1796
01:21:17,114 --> 01:21:17,848
could be some that are returned.

1797
01:21:17,848 --> 01:21:19,250
>> Councilmember Harris: we

1798
01:21:19,250 --> 01:21:20,685
didn't need to use any arp

1799
01:21:20,685 --> 01:21:23,153
dollars to fill gaps. We were

1800
01:21:23,153 --> 01:21:24,922
able, to we were able to meet

1801
01:21:24,922 --> 01:21:28,522
all of our obligation was our

1802
01:21:36,967 --> 01:21:37,368
revenue. So, yes. Other

1803
01:21:37,368 --> 01:21:38,469
questions?

1804
01:21:38,469 --> 01:21:41,720
All right, cincy on track, see

1805
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:41,839
who is up first.

1806
01:21:41,839 --> 01:21:43,541
>> City Manager Long: we will

1807
01:21:43,541 --> 01:21:46,811
change the tune in this radio

1808
01:21:46,811 --> 01:21:50,411
station from andrew dues as to

1809
01:21:50,414 --> 01:21:54,140
bright and cheer I city manager

1810
01:21:54,118 --> 01:21:55,119
for the cincy on track program.

1811
01:21:55,119 --> 01:21:55,953
>> City Manager Long: let's go

1812
01:21:55,953 --> 01:21:58,353
before this presentation begins

1813
01:21:58,455 --> 01:22:00,925
I want to say a few words about

1814
01:22:00,925 --> 01:22:03,694
the impact that csr funding will

1815
01:22:03,694 --> 01:22:05,162
have on the capital budget as as

1816
01:22:05,162 --> 01:22:06,464
well as the transparency my

1817
01:22:06,464 --> 01:22:08,864
administration is bringing to

1818
01:22:09,766 --> 01:22:11,168
the process say cincy on track.

1819
01:22:11,168 --> 01:22:13,637
The railroad sale is a

1820
01:22:13,637 --> 01:22:14,405
significant moment for our city

1821
01:22:14,405 --> 01:22:16,600
infrastructure, and this money

1822
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:18,876
will be an important resource

1823
01:22:18,876 --> 01:22:21,112
for decades to come. With that

1824
01:22:21,112 --> 01:22:22,179
significant boost of dollars

1825
01:22:22,179 --> 01:22:24,982
comma me I responsibility to

1826
01:22:24,982 --> 01:22:27,500
spend the money efficiently,

1827
01:22:27,500 --> 01:22:28,886
equitably and transparently.

1828
01:22:28,886 --> 01:22:31,388
What we're doing right now

1829
01:22:31,388 --> 01:22:32,656
within presentation is a perfect

1830
01:22:32,656 --> 01:22:34,558
example. Each department is

1831
01:22:34,558 --> 01:22:36,293
explaining their top priorities,

1832
01:22:36,293 --> 01:22:38,162
we're showing thousand how the

1833
01:22:38,162 --> 01:22:39,960
funds will be spread across the

1834
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:40,297
city and different

1835
01:22:40,297 --> 01:22:42,299
infrastructure needs and an

1836
01:22:42,299 --> 01:22:43,301
opportunity for council members

1837
01:22:43,301 --> 01:22:45,369
to have a conversation. But

1838
01:22:45,369 --> 01:22:47,371
that's only the beginning.

1839
01:22:47,371 --> 01:22:49,273
Citicable viewers I sigh you,

1840
01:22:49,273 --> 01:22:51,273
but we have 300,000

1841
01:22:51,709 --> 01:22:52,909
cincinnatians to share this

1842
01:22:52,909 --> 01:22:54,478
information with. So I really

1843
01:22:54,478 --> 01:22:56,414
want to thank the budget office

1844
01:22:56,414 --> 01:22:58,783
and my own city manager office

1845
01:22:58,783 --> 01:23:00,851
for their hard work in designing

1846
01:23:00,851 --> 01:23:04,989
cincy on track to be a robust

1847
01:23:04,989 --> 01:23:07,389
equitable effort built on

1848
01:23:13,131 --> 01:23:14,632
transparency. As you can see

1849
01:23:14,632 --> 01:23:17,632
for fiscal year 25. We are

1850
01:23:18,236 --> 01:23:19,403
looking at $29.2 million, which

1851
01:23:19,403 --> 01:23:21,205
about $2.8 million more than

1852
01:23:21,205 --> 01:23:23,140
what we would have received in

1853
01:23:23,140 --> 01:23:24,741
lease payments. This is a

1854
01:23:24,741 --> 01:23:28,341
bridge year, while we wait for

1855
01:23:33,484 --> 01:23:36,420
the found generate returns. For

1856
01:23:36,420 --> 01:23:38,222
2026 it is higher in and that

1857
01:23:38,222 --> 01:23:39,657
year will disbursement will

1858
01:23:39,657 --> 01:23:41,125
begin. Going forward from there

1859
01:23:41,125 --> 01:23:43,360
we'll take into consideration

1860
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,760
the disbursements when we

1861
01:23:45,896 --> 01:23:47,699
develop the fiscal year 26-31

1862
01:23:47,699 --> 01:23:50,990
capital improvement program and

1863
01:23:50,534 --> 01:23:52,370
it's fiscal year 26, 27 capital

1864
01:23:52,370 --> 01:23:54,839
budget. As a quick reminder as

1865
01:23:54,839 --> 01:23:57,942
a mandate by law, all funding

1866
01:23:57,942 --> 01:24:01,646
from the csr can only be used on

1867
01:24:01,646 --> 01:24:03,981
existing city resources. We

1868
01:24:03,981 --> 01:24:05,983
broken the spending into five

1869
01:24:05,983 --> 01:24:08,352
categories which are streets and

1870
01:24:08,352 --> 01:24:10,352
bridges, recreation, public

1871
01:24:11,189 --> 01:24:14,189
services, parks, and health. As

1872
01:24:14,425 --> 01:24:18,495
you can see, a majority of the

1873
01:24:18,495 --> 01:24:19,897
funds for fiscal year 25, about

1874
01:24:19,897 --> 01:24:21,666
$17.9 million is going toward

1875
01:24:21,666 --> 01:24:23,467
streets and bridges which is

1876
01:24:23,467 --> 01:24:26,838
what the community told us over

1877
01:24:26,838 --> 01:24:30,438
and over again is their biggest

1878
01:24:30,708 --> 01:24:32,109
infrastructure priority. This

1879
01:24:32,109 --> 01:24:34,509
slide is incredibly important

1880
01:24:36,140 --> 01:24:38,490
more than 830% of the funding is

1881
01:24:38,490 --> 01:24:41,490
in the neighborhoods with a

1882
01:24:41,418 --> 01:24:42,153
median income of less than

1883
01:24:42,153 --> 01:24:43,988
$50,000. Huge investments are

1884
01:24:43,988 --> 01:24:45,889
coming to majority black

1885
01:24:45,889 --> 01:24:48,692
neighborhoods like the west end,

1886
01:24:48,692 --> 01:24:50,995
walnut hills, and south

1887
01:24:50,995 --> 01:24:53,130
fairmont. And westwood our city

1888
01:24:53,130 --> 01:24:54,565
largest neighborhood in terms of

1889
01:24:54,565 --> 01:24:56,300
square miles is appropriately

1890
01:24:56,300 --> 01:24:59,300
set to receive the largest

1891
01:25:00,237 --> 01:25:03,237
investment in this round of

1892
01:25:03,374 --> 01:25:04,374
funding. On the same topic, you

1893
01:25:04,374 --> 01:25:05,843
will see here that the

1894
01:25:05,843 --> 01:25:07,779
investments are spread all over

1895
01:25:07,779 --> 01:25:09,346
the city. While some projects

1896
01:25:09,346 --> 01:25:11,282
are bigger or more expensive

1897
01:25:11,282 --> 01:25:13,885
than others, we're not putting

1898
01:25:13,885 --> 01:25:16,386
all of our eggs in one basket.

1899
01:25:16,386 --> 01:25:18,220
We know a city as diverse as

1900
01:25:18,220 --> 01:25:19,223
ours has different needs

1901
01:25:19,223 --> 01:25:21,993
depending what need you are are

1902
01:25:21,993 --> 01:25:25,593
in so we're very ink tensional

1903
01:25:26,364 --> 01:25:29,364
about addressing that. So now

1904
01:25:29,366 --> 01:25:30,868
I'll gwen to hand things over to

1905
01:25:30,868 --> 01:25:32,536
each of the departments who we

1906
01:25:32,536 --> 01:25:33,704
ask to identify their

1907
01:25:33,704 --> 01:25:35,440
priorities. Each department

1908
01:25:35,440 --> 01:25:36,741
will share their methodology for

1909
01:25:36,741 --> 01:25:38,909
how they determined the projects

1910
01:25:38,909 --> 01:25:40,511
and then they will get into the

1911
01:25:40,511 --> 01:25:41,613
specifics on what investments

1912
01:25:41,613 --> 01:25:43,810
are recommended. But I also

1913
01:25:43,810 --> 01:25:45,983
want to make a very important

1914
01:25:45,983 --> 01:25:47,117
point before we proceed, the

1915
01:25:47,117 --> 01:25:49,186
exact dollar amounts projects

1916
01:25:49,186 --> 01:25:52,186
and areas we're talking today

1917
01:25:52,390 --> 01:25:54,920
are not set in stone. As you

1918
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:55,860
know, urgent items come up

1919
01:25:55,860 --> 01:25:57,661
throughout the year and we will

1920
01:25:57,661 --> 01:25:59,296
appropriately address those when

1921
01:25:59,296 --> 01:26:01,332
needed. It MAY mean we have to

1922
01:26:01,332 --> 01:26:03,101
adjust priorities but we will

1923
01:26:03,101 --> 01:26:05,403
also a be transparent about

1924
01:26:05,403 --> 01:26:06,838
those decisions. That said, the

1925
01:26:06,838 --> 01:26:09,274
overall strategy is set. We

1926
01:26:09,274 --> 01:26:10,909
have target amounts we inn toned

1927
01:26:10,909 --> 01:26:12,576
spend in the five categories and

1928
01:26:12,576 --> 01:26:13,778
we have identified neighborhoods

1929
01:26:13,778 --> 01:26:16,380
and specific projects with the

1930
01:26:16,380 --> 01:26:18,315
highest level of needs. Even if

1931
01:26:18,315 --> 01:26:20,518
we pivot or some of these line

1932
01:26:20,518 --> 01:26:21,753
items change going forward, the

1933
01:26:21,753 --> 01:26:23,388
overall affect of cincy on track

1934
01:26:23,388 --> 01:26:25,356
is the same, we're making

1935
01:26:25,356 --> 01:26:26,424
historic investments in city

1936
01:26:26,424 --> 01:26:28,824
infrastructure, and we're doing

1937
01:26:31,396 --> 01:26:34,996
it in a way where everyone

1938
01:26:35,599 --> 01:26:37,599
benefits.

1939
01:26:37,735 --> 01:26:39,735
>> Councilmember Harris: all

1940
01:26:40,237 --> 01:26:42,637
right. Director brazina, you

1941
01:26:59,958 --> 01:27:00,758
are up.

1942
01:27:00,758 --> 01:27:03,758
>> John Brazina: thank you very

1943
01:27:04,195 --> 01:27:05,796
much for having me today. I'm

1944
01:27:05,796 --> 01:27:07,599
brazina, I'm director of the

1945
01:27:07,599 --> 01:27:08,900
department of transportation and

1946
01:27:08,900 --> 01:27:11,336
engineering. I wanted to start

1947
01:27:11,336 --> 01:27:13,904
out by thanking council for

1948
01:27:13,904 --> 01:27:15,974
their financial support for the

1949
01:27:15,974 --> 01:27:18,209
department of transportation and

1950
01:27:18,209 --> 01:27:19,477
engineering but also for your

1951
01:27:19,477 --> 01:27:21,746
policy support as well. Some of

1952
01:27:21,746 --> 01:27:23,481
the changes that we have made on

1953
01:27:23,481 --> 01:27:27,810
our streets and bridges over the

1954
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:30,210
last year have been impactful as

1955
01:27:30,210 --> 01:27:31,556
some people have liked them,

1956
01:27:31,556 --> 01:27:32,690
some people have not liked them.

1957
01:27:32,690 --> 01:27:34,559
But with your support we think

1958
01:27:34,559 --> 01:27:38,159
that the changes that we have

1959
01:27:39,364 --> 01:27:42,166
made have been very positive and

1960
01:27:42,166 --> 01:27:44,566
impactful. So the methodology

1961
01:27:45,370 --> 01:27:47,739
that dote has used for these

1962
01:27:47,739 --> 01:27:50,739
projects for cincy on track

1963
01:27:51,676 --> 01:27:53,578
include safety, asset

1964
01:27:53,578 --> 01:27:55,380
preservation, accessible and

1965
01:27:55,380 --> 01:27:57,380
connectivity, and pavement

1966
01:27:58,116 --> 01:28:01,119
condition index. It is a rating

1967
01:28:01,119 --> 01:28:03,387
that our street rehabilitation

1968
01:28:03,387 --> 01:28:04,989
program uses to assess the

1969
01:28:04,989 --> 01:28:07,989
condition of the streets, give

1970
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:10,395
it a number, good, fair, poor,

1971
01:28:10,395 --> 01:28:12,630
failure, and we use that number

1972
01:28:12,630 --> 01:28:13,264
to when we were in the

1973
01:28:13,264 --> 01:28:15,400
neighborhoods on what streets

1974
01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:17,800
get prioritized in those

1975
01:28:18,336 --> 01:28:19,704
neighborhoods for street rehab.

1976
01:28:19,704 --> 01:28:21,139
Safety, methodology is pretty

1977
01:28:21,139 --> 01:28:23,875
obvious we want to improve

1978
01:28:23,875 --> 01:28:25,877
safety for all of the users in

1979
01:28:25,877 --> 01:28:27,445
the streets, asset preservation

1980
01:28:27,445 --> 01:28:28,379
is again with our street

1981
01:28:28,379 --> 01:28:30,448
rehabilitation program we want

1982
01:28:30,448 --> 01:28:33,840
to preserve those assets that we

1983
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:34,618
have. Along with our bridges,

1984
01:28:34,618 --> 01:28:37,180
and then accessibility and

1985
01:28:37,956 --> 01:28:40,250
connectivity. We want to why

1986
01:28:40,250 --> 01:28:40,826
that so everyone in the city of

1987
01:28:40,826 --> 01:28:43,826
cincinnati has the ability to

1988
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:50,264
use all of our road network and

1989
01:28:52,704 --> 01:28:55,704
assets. So as director dudas

1990
01:28:56,700 --> 01:28:57,475
mentioned, we are receiving

1991
01:28:57,475 --> 01:28:59,475
approximately $17.9 million in

1992
01:29:00,278 --> 01:29:03,278
railway proceeds this year. The

1993
01:29:04,683 --> 01:29:07,786
majority of that is going into

1994
01:29:07,786 --> 01:29:10,786
our street rebbe program, little

1995
01:29:10,855 --> 01:29:12,757
over $13 million there. Various

1996
01:29:12,757 --> 01:29:14,757
neighborhoods include college

1997
01:29:17,429 --> 01:29:19,829
hill, north avondale, carthage

1998
01:29:20,465 --> 01:29:23,465
east westwood, mt. Adams, north

1999
01:29:24,202 --> 01:29:24,869
avondale, north fairmont, south

2000
01:29:24,869 --> 01:29:26,869
fairmont, queensgate walnut

2001
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,760
hills, went and westwood. Also

2002
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:33,578
we're doing work in victory

2003
01:29:33,578 --> 01:29:34,779
parkway complete street project

2004
01:29:34,779 --> 01:29:37,181
which I'll detail a little bit

2005
01:29:37,181 --> 01:29:39,918
more as one of my highlighted

2006
01:29:39,918 --> 01:29:41,286
projects. It is a really

2007
01:29:41,286 --> 01:29:43,286
exciting project, complete

2008
01:29:43,588 --> 01:29:44,823
streets, lots of improvements

2009
01:29:44,823 --> 01:29:47,223
there, lots of disciplines

2010
01:29:48,727 --> 01:29:51,329
involved there. And lastly for

2011
01:29:51,329 --> 01:29:53,765
our projects are the traffic

2012
01:29:53,765 --> 01:29:56,165
signals infrastructure, a little

2013
01:29:56,267 --> 01:29:58,770
over $1.4 million. I do want to

2014
01:29:58,770 --> 01:30:02,173
point out that for our traffic

2015
01:30:02,173 --> 01:30:04,573
signal rebuild projects that

2016
01:30:06,678 --> 01:30:09,678
those traffic signals will be

2017
01:30:11,382 --> 01:30:12,784
pro boys and girls compliant,

2018
01:30:12,784 --> 01:30:14,719
pro pro with problem e public

2019
01:30:14,719 --> 01:30:15,820
right of way public

2020
01:30:15,820 --> 01:30:17,820
accessibility guidelines, those

2021
01:30:19,190 --> 01:30:22,727
have been adapted by the federal

2022
01:30:22,727 --> 01:30:24,796
government. And the doj and

2023
01:30:24,796 --> 01:30:26,796
department of transportation

2024
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:29,340
figuring out hose though apply

2025
01:30:29,340 --> 01:30:31,200
to of the dote is also reviewing

2026
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:32,437
the guidelines and pushing

2027
01:30:32,437 --> 01:30:34,837
forward some of those

2028
01:30:35,140 --> 01:30:36,675
improvements. We plan on

2029
01:30:36,675 --> 01:30:38,710
incorporating the recent changes

2030
01:30:38,710 --> 01:30:41,710
into our designs for these

2031
01:30:42,213 --> 01:30:44,382
traffic signals before odot

2032
01:30:44,382 --> 01:30:47,382
tells us how they recommend

2033
01:30:47,685 --> 01:30:50,422
doing it. The pro with changes

2034
01:30:50,422 --> 01:30:51,590
will help all of the residents

2035
01:30:51,590 --> 01:30:52,757
especially those with

2036
01:30:52,757 --> 01:30:54,757
disabilities.

2037
01:30:55,427 --> 01:30:56,428
For examples signals will have

2038
01:30:56,428 --> 01:30:58,663
better push about the on

2039
01:30:58,663 --> 01:31:01,663
locations for those who use

2040
01:31:01,833 --> 01:31:04,690
wheelchairs and walkers-p and

2041
01:31:04,690 --> 01:31:07,690
also better audible cues for

2042
01:31:12,430 --> 01:31:13,912
those with visual impairments.

2043
01:31:13,912 --> 01:31:15,180
Before I begin highlighting the

2044
01:31:15,180 --> 01:31:17,415
couple projects that do I have

2045
01:31:17,415 --> 01:31:19,818
here, I want to mention that

2046
01:31:19,818 --> 01:31:22,821
what our project goals are and

2047
01:31:22,821 --> 01:31:25,357
who actually benefits from these

2048
01:31:25,357 --> 01:31:26,158
projects. The department of

2049
01:31:26,158 --> 01:31:27,526
transportation and engineering

2050
01:31:27,526 --> 01:31:29,695
is committed building a

2051
01:31:29,695 --> 01:31:31,695
transportation network that

2052
01:31:32,230 --> 01:31:34,399
enables people of all ages and

2053
01:31:34,399 --> 01:31:36,501
all physical and economic

2054
01:31:36,501 --> 01:31:38,804
abilities to safely and

2055
01:31:38,804 --> 01:31:41,804
comfortably move around the city

2056
01:31:44,376 --> 01:31:47,245
using all modes of travel. So,

2057
01:31:47,245 --> 01:31:49,147
for the victory parkway complete

2058
01:31:49,147 --> 01:31:52,147
street project this project uses

2059
01:31:53,118 --> 01:31:56,354
all four of our methodology both

2060
01:31:56,354 --> 01:31:58,354
safety, asset preservation,

2061
01:31:58,957 --> 01:32:00,957
accessibility, connectivity, and

2062
01:32:04,429 --> 01:32:05,130
pci rating. So this project is

2063
01:32:05,130 --> 01:32:05,964
in the walnut hills and each

2064
01:32:05,964 --> 01:32:08,364
walnut hills neighborhoods. We

2065
01:32:10,669 --> 01:32:13,669
will be rehabbing 1 mile long

2066
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,342
kor door from martin drive and

2067
01:32:17,342 --> 01:32:18,877
eden park to victory parkway and

2068
01:32:18,877 --> 01:32:21,277
william howard taft. This

2069
01:32:21,313 --> 01:32:23,582
possibler of the roadway starts

2070
01:32:23,582 --> 01:32:26,582
just south of krohn conservatory

2071
01:32:27,219 --> 01:32:30,322
which is eden park drive, eden

2072
01:32:30,322 --> 01:32:32,457
park drive turns into victory

2073
01:32:32,457 --> 01:32:35,327
parkway after you get past park

2074
01:32:35,327 --> 01:32:38,327
avenue bridge up to william

2075
01:32:38,997 --> 01:32:41,333
howard taft. We will be using a

2076
01:32:41,333 --> 01:32:43,502
new technology for called smog

2077
01:32:43,502 --> 01:32:45,937
eating pavement which is a

2078
01:32:45,937 --> 01:32:48,740
attive that gets added on top of

2079
01:32:48,740 --> 01:32:51,430
the pavement that helps and some

2080
01:32:51,430 --> 01:32:52,244
some of the smog that

2081
01:32:52,244 --> 01:32:55,180
gets/limited from tail pipes.

2082
01:32:55,180 --> 01:32:58,183
In addition to the rehab we will

2083
01:32:58,183 --> 01:33:01,183
be doing structural repairs on

2084
01:33:02,621 --> 01:33:05,621
the bridge over kemper lane.

2085
01:33:06,580 --> 01:33:07,192
This includes railings and

2086
01:33:07,192 --> 01:33:08,760
sidewalks on that bridge. Can

2087
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,363
you see some of the pictures

2088
01:33:11,363 --> 01:33:12,965
here that I have of the pavement

2089
01:33:12,965 --> 01:33:14,333
condition and then the picture

2090
01:33:14,333 --> 01:33:17,202
on the right shows the picture

2091
01:33:17,202 --> 01:33:20,802
of the sidewalk and railing for

2092
01:33:21,273 --> 01:33:23,141
the bridge. Some of the other

2093
01:33:23,141 --> 01:33:25,141
highlights includes adding

2094
01:33:26,110 --> 01:33:27,979
missing sidewalks, adding curb

2095
01:33:27,979 --> 01:33:30,115
bump outs at intersection and

2096
01:33:30,115 --> 01:33:33,115
raised crosswalk up across eden

2097
01:33:33,118 --> 01:33:34,486
park drive. This is one of the

2098
01:33:34,486 --> 01:33:35,987
complete street projects that

2099
01:33:35,987 --> 01:33:38,387
encompasses many disciplines in

2100
01:33:40,859 --> 01:33:43,228
the department, rehab, bridge

2101
01:33:43,228 --> 01:33:44,960
rehabilitation, sidewalks, and

2102
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:46,899
they be also pedestrian safety

2103
01:33:46,899 --> 01:33:49,268
with addition will curb bump

2104
01:33:49,268 --> 01:33:51,437
outs and raised crosswalks. I

2105
01:33:51,437 --> 01:33:53,539
don't have a map here, the map

2106
01:33:53,539 --> 01:33:57,139
was too large to include here

2107
01:33:58,677 --> 01:34:01,113
but the at the just south of the

2108
01:34:01,113 --> 01:34:04,116
park avenue bridge there is a

2109
01:34:04,116 --> 01:34:05,517
intersection of loran eden park

2110
01:34:05,517 --> 01:34:07,218
drive, we're improving that

2111
01:34:07,218 --> 01:34:09,521
intersection, removing one of

2112
01:34:09,521 --> 01:34:11,824
the slip lanes that will help

2113
01:34:11,824 --> 01:34:13,358
access and at the new

2114
01:34:13,358 --> 01:34:15,194
intersection that's where we're

2115
01:34:15,194 --> 01:34:17,594
praising the raised crosswalk

2116
01:34:18,630 --> 01:34:19,998
which will allow people to go

2117
01:34:19,998 --> 01:34:22,400
from the neighborhood in walnut

2118
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:24,803
hills over to that look out for

2119
01:34:24,803 --> 01:34:26,505
eden park. This is just one of

2120
01:34:26,505 --> 01:34:27,740
the many projects that we have,

2121
01:34:27,740 --> 01:34:29,408
but there is a really good

2122
01:34:29,408 --> 01:34:30,442
project that shows all that

2123
01:34:30,442 --> 01:34:32,842
complete streets policy that

2124
01:34:34,747 --> 01:34:37,182
we're doing in the department.

2125
01:34:37,182 --> 01:34:40,853
And the last project that I have

2126
01:34:40,853 --> 01:34:43,121
here is a street rehabilitation

2127
01:34:43,121 --> 01:34:44,456
project in south fairmont, on

2128
01:34:44,456 --> 01:34:46,191
beekman street. The methodology

2129
01:34:46,191 --> 01:34:49,791
that we're using here is for

2130
01:34:50,362 --> 01:34:52,964
asset preservation and pci. The

2131
01:34:52,964 --> 01:34:55,167
pci rating for beekman street is

2132
01:34:55,167 --> 01:34:57,369
34 out of a hundred which gives

2133
01:34:57,369 --> 01:34:59,838
it a poor condition. And we

2134
01:34:59,838 --> 01:35:02,838
look forward to improve that's

2135
01:35:04,209 --> 01:35:07,209
roadway in the south fairmont

2136
01:35:09,314 --> 01:35:10,820
neighborhood.

2137
01:35:10,820 --> 01:35:11,884
>> Councilmember Harris: thank

2138
01:35:11,884 --> 01:35:13,218
you, direct. I think we'll hold

2139
01:35:13,218 --> 01:35:15,120
our questions for the end.

2140
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:15,988
We'll get through these. Does

2141
01:35:15,988 --> 01:35:17,988
that work?

2142
01:35:18,230 --> 01:35:20,423
Okay. Let's do that.

2143
01:35:22,427 --> 01:35:25,427
Thank you. All right, director

2144
01:35:39,111 --> 01:35:41,480

dependency director. I want to

2150
01:35:53,258 --> 01:35:56,228
go over some of the projects

2151
01:35:56,228 --> 01:35:59,228
that are recommended in the

2152
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:02,432
railroad revenues for dps.

2153
01:36:04,403 --> 01:36:06,538
Our methodology that we use is

2154
01:36:06,538 --> 01:36:08,274
took several factors.

2155
01:36:08,274 --> 01:36:10,274
Addressing past obligations,

2156
01:36:11,210 --> 01:36:13,210
looking at modernizing

2157
01:36:14,460 --> 01:36:16,446
facilities, such as roof

2158
01:36:17,283 --> 01:36:20,283
remediate and hv vac safety

2159
01:36:20,386 --> 01:36:23,386
which currently looking to have

2160
01:36:24,230 --> 01:36:24,957
a ark flash hazard studies that

2161
01:36:24,957 --> 01:36:27,326
define of the life safety issues

2162
01:36:27,326 --> 01:36:30,329
and projects that we need to

2163
01:36:30,329 --> 01:36:32,164
address. We also looking at

2164
01:36:32,164 --> 01:36:34,164
resiliency and sustainability.

2165
01:36:34,500 --> 01:36:36,635
We have a number of buildings

2166
01:36:36,635 --> 01:36:38,300
and equipment that is out of

2167
01:36:38,300 --> 01:36:40,339
lifecycle so we're trying 20 get

2168
01:36:40,339 --> 01:36:41,440
those back in lifecycle this

2169
01:36:41,440 --> 01:36:43,840
additional revenue streams that

2170
01:36:44,643 --> 01:36:47,643
we have. And also preservation

2171
01:36:48,130 --> 01:36:50,182
of and operations facilities.

2172
01:36:50,182 --> 01:36:53,782
When you look at public services

2173
01:36:54,186 --> 01:36:56,188
in our facility maintenance area

2174
01:36:56,188 --> 01:36:57,890
we're responsible for

2175
01:36:57,890 --> 01:36:59,890
maintaining over 8 # facilities

2176
01:36:59,558 --> 01:37:01,794
across the city which includes a

2177
01:37:01,794 --> 01:37:04,960
lot of firehouses, police

2178
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:04,897
stations, city hall, centennial,

2179
01:37:04,897 --> 01:37:07,297
and various other buildings

2180
01:37:10,803 --> 01:37:12,872
around the city. With you look

2181
01:37:12,872 --> 01:37:15,872
at the three projects that's

2182
01:37:16,709 --> 01:37:18,677
totaling up to $2.7 million,

2183
01:37:18,677 --> 01:37:20,646
these projects are in various

2184
01:37:20,646 --> 01:37:21,981
areas, one in is in south

2185
01:37:21,981 --> 01:37:23,783
fairmont, one in paddock hills

2186
01:37:23,783 --> 01:37:25,885
and one in east price hill.

2187
01:37:25,885 --> 01:37:29,154
When you first project is we're

2188
01:37:29,154 --> 01:37:30,723
looking at cfm city facility

2189
01:37:30,723 --> 01:37:32,792
management head quarters on

2190
01:37:32,792 --> 01:37:34,627
beekman street. The garage roof

2191
01:37:34,627 --> 01:37:36,627
remediate project. This

2192
01:37:38,397 --> 01:37:39,899
building was built in 1943. It

2193
01:37:39,899 --> 01:37:42,299
houses our city facilities

2194
01:37:43,369 --> 01:37:45,170
management staff, cincinnati

2195
01:37:45,170 --> 01:37:47,500
recreation commission

2196
01:37:47,500 --> 01:37:48,974
maintenance workers as well as

2197
01:37:48,974 --> 01:37:50,509
surveysers for the department of

2198
01:37:50,509 --> 01:37:52,509
transportation and engineering.

2199
01:37:52,745 --> 01:37:54,947
This roof is 81 years old, it is

2200
01:37:54,947 --> 01:37:57,116
in the original building.

2201
01:37:57,116 --> 01:37:59,552
Twenty years ago the roof was

2202
01:37:59,552 --> 01:38:01,387
refurbished with a ten year

2203
01:38:01,387 --> 01:38:05,240
warranty. You can see it is out

2204
01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:06,659
of lifecycle. So this is a

2205
01:38:06,659 --> 01:38:07,860
project that we're going to be

2206
01:38:07,860 --> 01:38:10,260
addressing with the resources

2207
01:38:12,765 --> 01:38:15,765
that we have. Second project

2208
01:38:15,801 --> 01:38:17,837
we're looking at is going to be

2209
01:38:17,837 --> 01:38:20,139
the police district 4 parking

2210
01:38:20,139 --> 01:38:22,539
deck restoration. This building

2211
01:38:26,679 --> 01:38:29,348
was built in 1975. The roof is

2212
01:38:29,348 --> 01:38:31,951
basically occupies over top of

2213
01:38:31,951 --> 01:38:34,351
office spaces underneath. There

2214
01:38:35,988 --> 01:38:38,988
is concrete issues and water

2215
01:38:39,125 --> 01:38:42,125
leaking water leakage in the

2216
01:38:42,595 --> 01:38:44,597
roof in the parking deck. So we

2217
01:38:44,597 --> 01:38:46,650
are required having a structural

2218
01:38:46,650 --> 01:38:48,300
engineer looking at it and

2219
01:38:48,300 --> 01:38:50,700
design and partially fund

2220
01:38:50,769 --> 01:38:52,438
construction. We really don't

2221
01:38:52,438 --> 01:38:53,639
have accurate count of how much

2222
01:38:53,639 --> 01:38:55,141
this probably is going to cost

2223
01:38:55,141 --> 01:38:57,209
until we get into it a little

2224
01:38:57,209 --> 01:38:59,511
bit more, but we are looking to

2225
01:38:59,511 --> 01:39:02,381
have additional funds for the

2226
01:39:02,381 --> 01:39:05,981
entire project to be funded in

2227
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:09,488
fiscal year 2026. And third

2228
01:39:09,488 --> 01:39:10,989
project that we're going to be

2229
01:39:10,989 --> 01:39:13,389
utilizing additional funds for

2230
01:39:13,591 --> 01:39:15,560
is warsaw building roof

2231
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:18,560
remediate. This is a building

2232
01:39:18,764 --> 01:39:22,000
built in 1907. It was the old

2233
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,000
police district 3 until 2015.

2234
01:39:24,103 --> 01:39:26,772
Right now it is being utilized

2235
01:39:26,772 --> 01:39:28,240
as police special services

2236
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:31,209
section, a existing roof was

2237
01:39:31,209 --> 01:39:32,645
installed in 1994. There is

2238
01:39:32,645 --> 01:39:34,146
constant maintenance issues over

2239
01:39:34,146 --> 01:39:36,515
the years and hopefully this

2240
01:39:36,515 --> 01:39:39,352
project is going to be

2241
01:39:39,352 --> 01:39:42,352
addressing the roof that really

2242
01:39:42,888 --> 01:39:46,488
needs to be dressed in a

2243
01:39:51,631 --> 01:39:52,398
expeditious way. Are there any

2244
01:39:52,398 --> 01:39:53,165
questions?

2245
01:39:53,165 --> 01:39:54,166
>> Councilmember Harris: all

2246
01:39:54,166 --> 01:39:55,334
right, you said right to the

2247
01:39:55,334 --> 01:39:57,350
point. That's helpful. We're

2248
01:39:57,350 --> 01:39:59,605
going to save our questions for

2249
01:39:59,605 --> 01:40:00,840
the end just to get through the

2250
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:03,240
presentations. But thank you

2251
01:40:04,744 --> 01:40:07,744
very much. Appreciate it. All

2252
01:40:08,214 --> 01:40:11,814
right, I think we have DR.

2253
01:40:11,884 --> 01:40:13,884
Mussman. Yep, health

2254
01:40:22,695 --> 01:40:24,630
department.

2255
01:40:24,630 --> 01:40:26,299
>> thank you very much. To the

2256
01:40:26,299 --> 01:40:29,899
chair and voice chair thank you

2257
01:40:30,690 --> 01:40:31,303
for having us here to talk about

2258
01:40:31,303 --> 01:40:34,903
this. And to the committee to

2259
01:40:36,709 --> 01:40:39,709
everyone on the committee. So

2260
01:40:40,580 --> 01:40:43,580
to prioritize our requests this

2261
01:40:45,117 --> 01:40:47,420
year we especially emphasized

2262
01:40:47,420 --> 01:40:49,422
safety includes staff and

2263
01:40:49,422 --> 01:40:51,900
visitorses toker. Our project

2264
01:40:51,900 --> 01:40:52,258
requests include things like

2265
01:40:52,258 --> 01:40:54,258
improvements to structural

2266
01:40:54,694 --> 01:40:56,829
support, fire pumps, generators

2267
01:40:56,829 --> 01:40:59,829
those sorts of things. We

2268
01:41:01,667 --> 01:41:03,302
wanted to prioritize

2269
01:41:03,302 --> 01:41:05,702
accessibility and some areas

2270
01:41:07,473 --> 01:41:08,941
where we had a americans with

2271
01:41:08,941 --> 01:41:10,476
disabilities at compliance

2272
01:41:10,476 --> 01:41:13,476
concerns and overall access to

2273
01:41:15,915 --> 01:41:17,517
health care with our facilities.

2274
01:41:17,517 --> 01:41:20,517
We have several projects where

2275
01:41:23,220 --> 01:41:24,724
our goal was preservation of our

2276
01:41:24,724 --> 01:41:26,291
operations. And these are just

2277
01:41:26,291 --> 01:41:28,261
projects that we need to keep

2278
01:41:28,261 --> 01:41:30,430
our buildings in proper working

2279
01:41:30,430 --> 01:41:32,830
order, including things like

2280
01:41:33,650 --> 01:41:35,465
roof replacement, hvac. Parking

2281
01:41:35,768 --> 01:41:36,101
lot maintenance, those sorts of

2282
01:41:36,101 --> 01:41:38,101
things.

2283
01:41:38,371 --> 01:41:40,720
And these requests are

2284
01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:42,472
inclusive of community feedback

2285
01:41:43,175 --> 01:41:45,545
that we got that we have gotten

2286
01:41:45,545 --> 01:41:47,545
through various methods

2287
01:41:49,482 --> 01:41:51,482
including patient satisfaction

2288
01:41:53,452 --> 01:41:55,854
surveys. So, I'll start with

2289
01:41:55,854 --> 01:41:57,854
some structural integrity

2290
01:41:58,491 --> 01:42:01,360
projects. At our burnet and

2291
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:03,760
king building we have

2292
01:42:04,797 --> 01:42:07,200
replacement of a fire pump and a

2293
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:09,168
boiler and one of the elevate

2294
01:42:09,168 --> 01:42:11,168
organizations which will

2295
01:42:12,205 --> 01:42:15,174
highlight. We have our air

2296
01:42:15,174 --> 01:42:17,610
handler at our price hill health

2297
01:42:17,610 --> 01:42:19,112
center, at our northside health

2298
01:42:19,112 --> 01:42:21,512
center some parking lot

2299
01:42:22,548 --> 01:42:24,948
maintenance and generator. The

2300
01:42:26,118 --> 01:42:27,820
bobbie sterne center some

2301
01:42:27,820 --> 01:42:30,220
structural mitigation in the

2302
01:42:31,224 --> 01:42:34,260
basement as well as hvac. Also

2303
01:42:34,260 --> 01:42:37,196
at bob eastern we have a cooling

2304
01:42:37,196 --> 01:42:40,796
tower and fire pump and basic

2305
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,136
parking lot phaeupbt nans. For

2306
01:42:43,136 --> 01:42:45,136
facilities renovation for

2307
01:42:45,571 --> 01:42:48,274
continued operation we have a

2308
01:42:48,274 --> 01:42:51,274
roof replacement and burnet and

2309
01:42:51,477 --> 01:42:53,212
king campus and a renovation of

2310
01:42:53,212 --> 01:42:55,470
northside health center adult

2311
01:42:55,470 --> 01:42:56,815
provider space. And finally

2312
01:42:56,815 --> 01:42:59,815
parking lot expansion at our

2313
01:43:03,355 --> 01:43:06,355
price hill health center. So,

2314
01:43:06,425 --> 01:43:08,361
I'll spotlight this one first.

2315
01:43:08,361 --> 01:43:11,961
This is the price hill health

2316
01:43:13,366 --> 01:43:15,680
center parking lot expansion.

2317
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:17,236
So, looking at this various ways

2318
01:43:17,236 --> 01:43:18,504
one way is from code

2319
01:43:18,504 --> 01:43:20,904
requirements and our medical

2320
01:43:21,407 --> 01:43:23,576
services and clinics require 1

2321
01:43:23,576 --> 01:43:25,576
parking space per 150

2322
01:43:26,179 --> 01:43:27,880
150 square

2323
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:30,880
feet and our existing parking

2324
01:43:31,417 --> 01:43:33,190
does not meet those

2325
01:43:33,190 --> 01:43:35,255
requirements. We're by code

2326
01:43:35,255 --> 01:43:37,655
required to have 114 total

2327
01:43:39,570 --> 01:43:41,628
parking spaces and we have 29, 7

2328
01:43:41,628 --> 01:43:42,929
staff and 22

2329
01:43:42,929 --> 01:43:44,830
22 public. Most of

2330
01:43:44,830 --> 01:43:47,500
the staff and public park on

2331
01:43:47,500 --> 01:43:49,900
streets and in areas

2332
01:43:51,371 --> 01:43:53,771
surrounding, can you find

2333
01:43:54,641 --> 01:43:55,874
parking. We're ride to have

2334
01:43:55,874 --> 01:43:57,944
5ada accessibility face spaces,

2335
01:43:57,944 --> 01:44:00,480
we have 3 and our limited

2336
01:44:00,480 --> 01:44:02,782
parking has been a bit of a sore

2337
01:44:02,782 --> 01:44:06,982
spot with our patients and it is

2338
01:44:08,121 --> 01:44:08,922
a major feedback item for us.

2339
01:44:08,922 --> 01:44:09,789
>> Councilmember Harris: I would

2340
01:44:09,789 --> 01:44:12,125
like to go on record that this

2341
01:44:12,125 --> 01:44:13,559
is a parking expansion that I

2342
01:44:13,559 --> 01:44:17,159
fully support. So I just want

2343
01:44:18,932 --> 01:44:21,601
to be very clear about that

2344
01:44:21,601 --> 01:44:23,601
please continue.

2345
01:44:28,207 --> 01:44:30,607
>> thank you. Northside health

2346
01:44:32,145 --> 01:44:35,214
center this is a provider space

2347
01:44:35,214 --> 01:44:37,160
renovation that we wanted to

2348
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:38,952
spotlight and the project would

2349
01:44:38,952 --> 01:44:41,952
take so just generally our

2350
01:44:47,226 --> 01:44:48,661
clinics are running up against

2351
01:44:48,661 --> 01:44:51,897
capacity issues in a lot of

2352
01:44:51,897 --> 01:44:53,533
spots and we're not built to run

2353
01:44:53,533 --> 01:44:55,933
efficiently as modern health

2354
01:44:56,302 --> 01:44:57,436
care facilities and that creates

2355
01:44:57,436 --> 01:45:00,436
access problems and barriers to

2356
01:45:01,608 --> 01:45:03,743
care with our patients. So this

2357
01:45:03,743 --> 01:45:05,512
would convert under utilized

2358
01:45:05,512 --> 01:45:08,281
space in our northside health

2359
01:45:08,281 --> 01:45:10,681
center for adult medical

2360
01:45:11,317 --> 01:45:13,553
providers. And we know from

2361
01:45:13,553 --> 01:45:15,521
experience with our ambrose

2362
01:45:15,521 --> 01:45:19,121
center when we do this it

2363
01:45:19,259 --> 01:45:20,794
encourages a collaborative work

2364
01:45:20,794 --> 01:45:23,194
environment, promoting the open

2365
01:45:23,229 --> 01:45:26,829
exchanges of ideas but even in

2366
01:45:29,903 --> 01:45:32,303
measurable outcomes like our

2367
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:35,308
efficiency and our ability to

2368
01:45:35,308 --> 01:45:37,708
accommodate patients. This will

2369
01:45:38,111 --> 01:45:39,679
free up existing offices so so

2370
01:45:39,679 --> 01:45:41,681
using this old medical reports

2371
01:45:41,681 --> 01:45:42,515
space would free up existing

2372
01:45:42,515 --> 01:45:44,617
offerses which could be

2373
01:45:44,617 --> 01:45:46,850
converted into additional exam

2374
01:45:46,850 --> 01:45:48,870
rooms and further support our

2375
01:45:48,870 --> 01:45:49,888
efforts to provide access of

2376
01:45:49,888 --> 01:45:52,888
care. And really benefits both

2377
01:45:53,893 --> 01:45:57,493
the staff and community in those

2378
01:46:00,734 --> 01:46:03,103
ways. I'll spotlight remediate

2379
01:46:03,103 --> 01:46:06,272
of one of our elevators at our b

2380
01:46:06,272 --> 01:46:08,541
and k campus. So elevator one

2381
01:46:08,541 --> 01:46:10,610
incurred damage in JULY of we're

2382
01:46:10,610 --> 01:46:14,210
2023 that cause it had, we have

2383
01:46:15,810 --> 01:46:18,810
two elevators and this elevator

2384
01:46:18,652 --> 01:46:19,886
fell and it caused some

2385
01:46:19,886 --> 01:46:22,286
permanent irreparable damage and

2386
01:46:24,491 --> 01:46:27,600
has been out of service.

2387
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:30,600
Elevator inspectors have and due

2388
01:46:32,565 --> 01:46:33,600
to obsolete and that no longer

2389
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:35,735
manufactured skipping to the

2390
01:46:35,735 --> 01:46:37,704
forth bullet and our other unit

2391
01:46:37,704 --> 01:46:40,306
in at building has been

2392
01:46:40,306 --> 01:46:43,276
frequently out of sr. Visitors

2393
01:46:43,276 --> 01:46:44,210
and that very long lead times

2394
01:46:44,210 --> 01:46:45,778
for sourcing remediate remediate

2395
01:46:45,778 --> 01:46:47,347
parts, and current building code

2396
01:46:47,347 --> 01:46:49,583
requires a elevator to be

2397
01:46:49,583 --> 01:46:52,218
connected to a building fire

2398
01:46:52,218 --> 01:46:55,218
protection system and since we

2399
01:46:55,355 --> 01:46:57,857
don't have a spring willer

2400
01:46:57,857 --> 01:46:59,759
system like that at the b and k

2401
01:46:59,759 --> 01:47:02,295
there would be some additional

2402
01:47:02,295 --> 01:47:04,695
building reretrofits to getting

2403
01:47:05,298 --> 01:47:08,298
this operating. And this is

2404
01:47:08,902 --> 01:47:11,302
important for removal of

2405
01:47:11,605 --> 01:47:14,605
components and supplies which we

2406
01:47:14,808 --> 01:47:18,377
frequently do our on the third

2407
01:47:18,377 --> 01:47:21,977
floor is our equipment room and

2408
01:47:24,117 --> 01:47:27,117
just generally required for our

2409
01:47:30,156 --> 01:47:33,360
building. And that's the end of

2410
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:34,127
my presentation.

2411
01:47:34,127 --> 01:47:35,861
>> Councilmember Harris: we'll

2412
01:47:35,861 --> 01:47:39,461
roll through and save them until

2413
01:47:54,213 --> 01:47:55,480
the ent. You're up.

2414
01:47:55,480 --> 01:47:57,818
>> good afternoon to the chair

2415
01:47:57,818 --> 01:48:00,520
and committee. I am tiffany

2416
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:02,388
stewart assistant director of

2417
01:48:02,388 --> 01:48:05,358
recreation. I have two of my

2418
01:48:05,358 --> 01:48:06,493
colleagues with me our cfo

2419
01:48:06,493 --> 01:48:09,493
jeanette and dan jones are

2420
01:48:11,498 --> 01:48:14,498
division manager of planning and

2421
01:48:16,770 --> 01:48:18,138
engineering. So as we look at

2422
01:48:18,138 --> 01:48:20,538
our methodology for the

2423
01:48:20,540 --> 01:48:22,208
priorities we felted as though

2424
01:48:22,208 --> 01:48:25,208
all 8 of these was something

2425
01:48:26,254 --> 01:48:26,377
that we actually look at when

2426
01:48:26,377 --> 01:48:29,182
we're doing our priorities. So

2427
01:48:29,182 --> 01:48:30,116
over the years we have created a

2428
01:48:30,116 --> 01:48:32,285
ongoing priority list of

2429
01:48:32,285 --> 01:48:34,285
infrastructure that included

2430
01:48:36,490 --> 01:48:38,158
parking lots, hvac, et cetera.

2431
01:48:38,158 --> 01:48:40,827
These updated and estimated at

2432
01:48:40,827 --> 01:48:42,695
least every year and used for

2433
01:48:42,695 --> 01:48:44,897
ongoing six year faith

2434
01:48:44,897 --> 01:48:46,990
assessment. Budget plans and

2435
01:48:46,990 --> 01:48:47,400

2436
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:49,202
that I want to point out to you

2437
01:48:49,202 --> 01:48:52,202
is that our playgrounds are

2438
01:48:52,906 --> 01:48:55,809

2439
01:48:55,809 --> 01:48:58,245

2440
01:48:58,245 --> 01:48:59,479
courts and feeds are 7 year

2441
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:01,479
expectancy, our recreation

2442
01:49:02,849 --> 01:49:04,551

Last renovation was done in

2451
01:49:25,972 --> 01:49:27,274
entity is based on inspection

2452
01:49:27,274 --> 01:49:29,976

01:49:42,656 --> 01:49:45,591
of course where we did our last

2459
01:49:45,591 --> 01:49:46,526

2460
01:49:46,526 --> 01:49:48,228

2466
01:50:05,210 --> 01:50:07,447
utilizing $1.3 million of that

2467
01:50:07,447 --> 01:50:08,482

01:50:11,518 --> 01:50:15,718
is a list of our projects that

2470
01:50:18,625 --> 01:50:21,428
we have included on our slide.

2471
01:50:21,428 --> 01:50:24,428
And the remaining projects will

2472
01:50:24,697 --> 01:50:27,970
be utilized for recreation

2473
01:50:27,501 --> 01:50:29,901
facilities renovations and that

2474
01:50:31,504 --> 01:50:33,340
always about 2.376 mill million

2475
01:50:33,340 --> 01:50:34,975
dollars. These projects are

2476
01:50:34,975 --> 01:50:37,975
ones that are project labor

2477
01:50:39,679 --> 01:50:42,515
ready for us to begin. In

2478
01:50:42,515 --> 01:50:44,915

2480
01:50:48,955 --> 01:50:51,158
>> out of that list she provided

2481
01:50:51,158 --> 01:50:52,525
to you we wanted to highlight

2482
01:50:52,525 --> 01:50:54,360
bond hill recreation center this

2483
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:56,760
project will provide resources

2484
01:50:57,197 --> 01:50:58,198
for renovation for that area and

2485
01:50:58,198 --> 01:50:59,899
neighborhood. The renovations

2486
01:50:59,899 --> 01:51:02,299
would include adding new

2487
01:51:02,603 --> 01:51:04,638
entrances on to the building

2488
01:51:04,638 --> 01:51:05,872
office up to 15 year warranty

2489
01:51:05,872 --> 01:51:08,272
condition, full renovations on

2490
01:51:08,308 --> 01:51:10,210
the interior and exterior of the

2491
01:51:10,210 --> 01:51:11,912
facility upgrades to safety

2492
01:51:11,912 --> 01:51:13,780
systems, fire protection and

2493
01:51:13,780 --> 01:51:14,882
security systems, this

2494
01:51:14,882 --> 01:51:16,483
renovation would bring the

2495
01:51:16,483 --> 01:51:18,585
facility up to current build

2496
01:51:18,585 --> 01:51:19,987
willing codes and ada

2497
01:51:19,987 --> 01:51:21,321
requirements. It also

2498
01:51:21,321 --> 01:51:23,156
reconfigures the layout to meet

2499
01:51:23,156 --> 01:51:25,325
current and future programming

2500
01:51:25,325 --> 01:51:28,295
needs. So on those pictures if

2501
01:51:28,295 --> 01:51:29,962
you look at the first two at the

2502
01:51:29,962 --> 01:51:33,133
top, actually the first four are

2503
01:51:33,133 --> 01:51:34,568
what bond hill currently looks

2504
01:51:34,568 --> 01:51:36,303
like. And at the bottom it is

2505
01:51:36,303 --> 01:51:37,571
what it could potentially look

2506
01:51:37,571 --> 01:51:40,874
like which is similar to the

2507
01:51:40,874 --> 01:51:42,810
price hill rec centers. Also

2508
01:51:42,810 --> 01:51:45,345
just keep in mind for the bond

2509
01:51:45,345 --> 01:51:46,646
hill recreation that will be a

2510
01:51:46,646 --> 01:51:48,948
multiyear funded project and so

2511
01:51:48,948 --> 01:51:52,548
that project MAY not start until

2512
01:51:53,354 --> 01:51:54,555
fiscal year 2026, 27. At next

2513
01:51:54,555 --> 01:51:57,257

2514
01:51:57,257 --> 01:51:58,926
highlight is the turkey ridge

2515
01:51:58,926 --> 01:52:02,162
recraigs area as can you see in

2516
01:52:02,162 --> 01:52:05,566

2517
01:52:05,566 --> 01:52:08,566
ada access, parking I. Prompts,

2518
01:52:08,769 --> 01:52:10,904

01:52:16,242 --> 01:52:18,345
this your bottom two is

2523
01:52:18,345 --> 01:52:19,847

baseball field. We wanted to

2529
01:52:30,190 --> 01:52:33,394
give a layout of what the area

2530
01:52:33,394 --> 01:52:36,496
will look like once it is

2531
01:52:36,496 --> 01:52:37,264

emergency ago that and equity.

2619
01:55:38,450 --> 01:55:38,846
And that plan of work we

2620
01:55:38,846 --> 01:55:40,380
institutessed this two years ago

2621
01:55:40,380 --> 01:55:42,683
the plan of work which is about

2622
01:55:42,683 --> 01:55:43,584
a I canly wrapping our arms

2623
01:55:43,584 --> 01:55:44,819
around those existing projects

2624
01:55:44,819 --> 01:55:46,387
that had been in the work for a

2625
01:55:46,387 --> 01:55:48,122
long time and put some order

2626
01:55:48,122 --> 01:55:49,490
into what's the possible or the

2627
01:55:49,490 --> 01:55:51,525
ordinance of that and what

2628
01:55:51,525 --> 01:55:53,270
should we expect every year for

2629
01:55:53,270 --> 01:55:55,290
anybody watching on citicable

2630
01:55:55,290 --> 01:55:57,498
initials that watch this on you

2631
01:55:57,498 --> 01:55:59,366
tube later or however awatch it

2632
01:55:59,366 --> 01:56:00,501
media members that this is

2633
01:56:00,501 --> 01:56:02,603
available on our website it can

2634
01:56:02,603 --> 01:56:04,739
download it as pdf. We have

2635
01:56:04,739 --> 01:56:06,340
printed outcomes for sny city

2636
01:56:06,340 --> 01:56:08,242
that stops by parks can pick up

2637
01:56:08,242 --> 01:56:10,611
one from our office to see what

2638
01:56:10,611 --> 01:56:12,313
we're up to. A run down the 30

2639
01:56:12,313 --> 01:56:14,480
biggest projects and where they

2640
01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:16,250
are another. Some are happen

2641
01:56:16,250 --> 01:56:18,519
this year, top six or 7 have

2642
01:56:18,519 --> 01:56:20,154
already happened and are

2643
01:56:20,154 --> 01:56:21,822
complete. And as you can see we

2644
01:56:21,822 --> 01:56:23,124
won't be able to dig into for a

2645
01:56:23,124 --> 01:56:25,126
couple years yet. There is

2646
01:56:25,126 --> 01:56:27,895
where it is at in the process.

2647
01:56:27,895 --> 01:56:30,197
So the next page we have the

2648
01:56:30,197 --> 01:56:31,365
chart that shows what those

2649
01:56:31,365 --> 01:56:33,765
projects are and approximate

2650
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:37,237
timing of it is a than park

2651
01:56:37,237 --> 01:56:40,675
board in and NOVEMBER t23 we're

2652
01:56:40,675 --> 01:56:43,444
in at and park and version of

2653
01:56:43,444 --> 01:56:45,112
this and 24 and plan that an

2654
01:56:45,112 --> 01:56:46,747
every six months or so with park

2655
01:56:46,747 --> 01:56:47,782
board approving it every

2656
01:56:47,782 --> 01:56:50,117
DECEMBER and it approved in

2657
01:56:50,117 --> 01:56:51,252
DECEMBER that's it's same time

2658
01:56:51,252 --> 01:56:52,887
we a profit capital priorities

2659
01:56:52,887 --> 01:56:55,655
of the nexts year as part of the

2660
01:56:55,655 --> 01:56:57,124
ongoing city budget process.

2661
01:56:57,124 --> 01:56:58,526
So, when we talk about equity

2662
01:56:58,526 --> 01:57:00,861
and how we're thinking about

2663
01:57:00,861 --> 01:57:02,263
equity at parks we have 3

2664
01:57:02,263 --> 01:57:05,499
different points we want to talk

2665
01:57:05,499 --> 01:57:06,867
about today. One it's

2666
01:57:06,867 --> 01:57:08,769
accessibility. Every year we

2667
01:57:08,769 --> 01:57:10,638
are a top ten rated park on the

2668
01:57:10,638 --> 01:57:13,773
trust for public lands city park

2669
01:57:13,773 --> 01:57:15,242
score than at the top hundred

2670
01:57:15,242 --> 01:57:16,977
parks in the a top ten. This

2671
01:57:16,977 --> 01:57:20,413
year we're 8, we were four a

2672
01:57:20,413 --> 01:57:22,350
couple years ago, 6, 7, we

2673
01:57:22,350 --> 01:57:24,385
flacket way up and down based on

2674
01:57:24,385 --> 01:57:26,153
various this year year we're the

2675
01:57:26,153 --> 01:57:28,189
so tenth best. We spend more

2676
01:57:28,189 --> 01:57:31,189
money on company tall per

2677
01:57:31,792 --> 01:57:33,728
resident then we had other the

2678
01:57:33,728 --> 01:57:35,763
year before but was that's

2679
01:57:35,763 --> 01:57:37,365
category that drug us down a

2680
01:57:37,365 --> 01:57:39,433
bit. We a top ten city in terms

2681
01:57:39,433 --> 01:57:40,668
of this. So as part their our

2682
01:57:40,668 --> 01:57:43,104
team is developed this and this

2683
01:57:43,104 --> 01:57:47,304
is terrible maybe map to look at

2684
01:57:47,742 --> 01:57:48,509
on if you go to the pdf you can

2685
01:57:48,509 --> 01:57:49,810
click on this learning or go to

2686
01:57:49,810 --> 01:57:53,410
the trust for public land can

2687
01:57:53,481 --> 01:57:54,849
you click on it. This shows you

2688
01:57:54,849 --> 01:57:56,217
ever park and green space in the

2689
01:57:56,217 --> 01:57:58,219
city and every area in the city

2690
01:57:58,219 --> 01:57:59,754
so all the green spots on here

2691
01:57:59,754 --> 01:58:02,255
are green spaces in the city.

2692
01:58:02,255 --> 01:58:03,157
That includes park space, rec

2693
01:58:03,157 --> 01:58:05,557
spaces, includes school yards

2694
01:58:05,726 --> 01:58:09,630
that are green and open to the

2695
01:58:09,630 --> 01:58:10,598
public, includes like a cemetery

2696
01:58:10,598 --> 01:58:11,999
like spring grove that you can

2697
01:58:11,999 --> 01:58:14,999
walk through, all kinds of

2698
01:58:15,369 --> 01:58:17,400
degree space that is give this

2699
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:18,873
access. What you can see in

2700
01:58:18,873 --> 01:58:20,908
purple is areas where we have

2701
01:58:20,908 --> 01:58:24,508
need for parks in order to

2702
01:58:25,880 --> 01:58:27,782
increase our accessibility. Are

2703
01:58:27,782 --> 01:58:29,216
this a ten minute walk of a

2704
01:58:29,216 --> 01:58:31,118
green space cause see in the

2705
01:58:31,118 --> 01:58:33,530
westwood area we have some, I

2706
01:58:33,530 --> 01:58:35,923
don't think it shows up there in

2707
01:58:35,923 --> 01:58:37,570
the westwood area we have dark

2708
01:58:37,570 --> 01:58:38,126
purple and light purple that

2709
01:58:38,126 --> 01:58:40,127
we're looking for opportunities

2710
01:58:40,127 --> 01:58:41,429
to increase green space access

2711
01:58:41,429 --> 01:58:44,429
and how we're getted targetd

2712
01:58:44,766 --> 01:58:45,466
with this, how we think about

2713
01:58:45,466 --> 01:58:46,667
inaccessible accessibility to

2714
01:58:46,667 --> 01:58:48,903
green spaces, that's one later

2715
01:58:48,903 --> 01:58:51,303
that we're looking at.

2716
01:58:51,472 --> 01:58:53,407
We're doing a 20 year analysis

2717
01:58:53,407 --> 01:58:55,509
on what is are has our spend

2718
01:58:55,509 --> 01:58:57,979
been whether it has been spoken,

2719
01:58:57,979 --> 01:58:58,312
where and what is spent for,

2720
01:58:58,312 --> 01:59:00,312
right?

2721
01:59:01,148 --> 01:59:02,983
As park ben economies, parking

2722
01:59:02,983 --> 01:59:05,219
lots, for pads, playground

2723
01:59:05,219 --> 01:59:07,210
limit. All that to see what is

2724
01:59:07,210 --> 01:59:08,289
that historical spend and where

2725
01:59:08,289 --> 01:59:10,325
has it happened throughout the

2726
01:59:10,325 --> 01:59:13,728
park system which will give a

2727
01:59:13,728 --> 01:59:14,529
layer to see s have we been

2728
01:59:14,529 --> 01:59:16,497
accessible, not been equitable

2729
01:59:16,497 --> 01:59:20,697
and that will be a factors and

2730
01:59:20,835 --> 01:59:22,804
we apparent liz how to go

2731
01:59:22,804 --> 01:59:24,606
forward. And next up we're

2732
01:59:24,606 --> 01:59:26,941
involved with something called

2733
01:59:26,941 --> 01:59:28,709
tpl, trust for public land, the

2734
01:59:28,709 --> 01:59:29,976
trust for public land is a great

2735
01:59:29,976 --> 01:59:31,612
partner and we're participating

2736
01:59:31,612 --> 01:59:33,381
in something called park equity

2737
01:59:33,381 --> 01:59:37,581
accelerate or so this has to do

2738
01:59:37,718 --> 01:59:38,820
with our work to create more

2739
01:59:38,820 --> 01:59:40,188
questionable accessibility to

2740
01:59:40,188 --> 01:59:42,489
that 10 minute work plan and

2741
01:59:42,489 --> 01:59:45,489
that best practices from cities

2742
01:59:45,593 --> 01:59:46,694
aurorean the country toquet pot

2743
01:59:46,694 --> 01:59:48,429
policies going forward. And

2744
01:59:48,429 --> 01:59:50,865
just as an example how that can

2745
01:59:50,865 --> 01:59:53,735
be tricky in the park system if

2746
01:59:53,735 --> 01:59:55,360
you just look at the deferred

2747
01:59:55,360 --> 01:59:56,471
maintenance deferred maintenance

2748
01:59:56,471 --> 01:59:58,472
is stuff that exists. The stuff

2749
01:59:58,472 --> 02:00:00,975
that exists is based upon 150

2750
02:00:00,975 --> 02:00:01,000
year pad earn of spending in
