[14:37] happy birthday COUNCILMAN

[14:38] Louis on AUGUST 15 since I

[14:39] will be here to say a little

[14:42] bit closer it's yeah. Coming

[14:42] right up close enough that I

[14:45] can say it. And I'll just say

[14:48] really quickly, I You know, we

[14:49] have to have this technical

[14:50] meeting on Wednesday to accept

[14:51] my resignation from council. I

[14:54] said pretty much what I needed

[14:55] to say in JUNE when announced

[14:56] that that this was I was going

[14:59] to need to do. But the main

[14:59] thing that I wanted to add to

[15:02] that tonight is just to say in

[15:05] thinking back over the last 3

[15:06] years and both how much I

[15:07] love. I mean, you guys know

[15:09] that I love my job. I really

[15:10] do. I love being here with all

[15:13] of you. It's been amazing,

[15:14] it's there's elements of it

[15:17] that are very hard. It's a

[15:19] very hard time to be a public

[15:20] figure. It's a very hard time

[15:21] to be a public servant of any

[15:24] kind. And that's that sort of

[15:27] come home to me more and

[15:28] having had a chance last 3

[15:31] years to have like the deeper

[15:33] and broader relationships with

[15:34] a lot of our city employees

[15:35] who just there's a ton of you

[15:35] on the room, obviously because

[15:41] that was our but it's not

[15:42] getting any easier time to try

[15:44] to do what government doesn't

[15:48] have translate to the public.

[15:49] And it's interesting to come

[15:51] in here and full-time obsessed

[15:52] with the city and county of

[15:54] Denver and everything it does,

[15:56] which Oscar, believe because

[15:58] weekly, but my 4 year old and

[15:59] I talking about earlier this

[16:03] morning because she was

[16:04] shocked to learn the red

[16:04] rocks, a sleek city facility,

[16:05] you know, and so we make a

[16:06] list of like all the things

[16:06] the city employees do. And we

[16:10] talk about how that's we do

[16:13] that from but basically a part

[16:14] of resources that we all make

[16:15] together. You know, like it's

[16:16] this really basic government

[16:20] stuff. And I just feel so

[16:23] worried all the time about how

[16:24] badly that translates to the

[16:25] public. Like I just don't

[16:26] think people know me. Know

[16:29] they don't know the half of

[16:31] what what we do in the city to

[16:32] just make a place where

[16:34] everybody can be safe. What

[16:36] you want to raise kids. I

[16:37] mean, I moved here because I

[16:38] wanted to raise my kids here.

[16:39] I'm not from here like almost

[16:40] all of your from but not I'm

[16:44] like the new girl on the dais

[16:45] and it's getting harder and

[16:47] harder because people perceive

[16:50] the value of government.

[16:51] There's like a real question

[16:52] right now about just the value

[16:53] of the project of like, are we

[16:56] going to keep, you throwing

[16:58] our lot together paying our

[16:58] taxes and feeling happy about

[17:01] what they go to all of that

[17:02] has been under attack from so

[17:04] many different angles for so

[17:06] long. And I know that makes it

[17:07] very difficult to be a public

[17:11] worker in almost any position.

[17:13] People have been, you the even

[17:14] some of our public health

[17:17] workers during covid face like

[17:18] physical attacks like just

[17:18] really I it's hard not there

[17:19] to be one of the people trying

[17:22] to hold the ship together

[17:23] people are doing that every

[17:26] day and so many little ways,

[17:28] you know, my child reason had

[17:29] this is the school's media

[17:31] that, know, you're not getting

[17:33] called anyway. That's all I

[17:34] want to say. I just it's a

[17:38] it's a rough time to to be in

[17:39] the public And I'm really,

[17:40] really sorry to be stepping

[17:43] out of it because I love being

[17:45] And I also know that, you

[17:47] know, it's just a huge it's a

[17:50] lot to carry. And so when you

[17:51] leave, you feel like you're

[17:51] like leaving that what other

[17:54] people very able hands appear.

[17:58] But it's a lot. So and I and I

[17:59] all 12 of were best Laker

[18:02] because bakers dozen I've ever

[18:03] been part of I love you a lot

[18:04] and I hope you on Thank you.

[18:06] Thanks, MADAM. PRESIDENT,

[18:18] thank you. Thank you.

[18:19] Councilmember parity and

[18:20] Wednesday. There will be more

[18:23] to come. So we just appreciate

[18:24] you being here today. And we

[18:26] have a full Baker's doesn't

[18:28] appear. So this is kind of

[18:30] nice to have everybody on the

[18:32] dais tonight. I have a few

[18:34] announcements and one I want

[18:39] to start with acknowledgement.

[18:40] And I think a lot of you have

[18:41] heard us talk about it. It's

[18:44] been the news, but to

[18:46] acknowledge the shooting that

[18:48] happened in District 4 and it

[18:49] took place in my district on

[18:51] JULY 20th that resulted in 8

[18:53] injured and one loss of life.

[18:56] It was a tragic event that has

[18:58] deeply affected our

[18:59] neighborhoods and the families

[19:00] and the victims. And I want to

[19:02] extend my condolences to them

[19:05] all. And there's really no

[19:10] words that can ease that pain

[19:11] community members have asked.

[19:13] And I think that it's

[19:14] appropriate also that we just

[19:16] take a moment of silence to

[19:18] recognize the loss of life,

[19:19] not only in my district, but

[19:21] in other districts and

[19:22] individuals who are recovering

[19:23] and healing. So if we could

[19:29] just have a moment of silence.

[19:42] Thank you everyone for doing

[19:46] that. There are a few other

[19:50] announcements that I do have a

[19:53] one is on AUGUST. 15th

[19:53] Saturday at the South by

[19:54] Southeast. We are doing a

[19:58] concert in the park and we are

[20:00] having swing band this year.

[20:03] So it starts at 04:00pm Thomas

[20:04] Jefferson High School with tj

[20:05] Orchestra and then will have a

[20:08] swing band in the park on

[20:19] outreach and answer any

[20:20] questions that people might

[20:23] have. And then one last

[29:42] this. Throughout last year.

[29:43] Thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT,

[29:47] thank Councilmember Torres, I

[29:47] did what she said. This is

[29:52] just a great good governance

[29:52] process and the independent

[29:55] monitor was also one of the

[29:55] folks that was involved in all

[29:57] of our workshop meetings with

[30:00] it. 0, Trish and folks are

[30:02] very attentive to how we

[30:06] update the charter. And as my

[30:06] colleague Councilmember Sawyer

[30:07] says of do this everywhere all

[30:09] over the charter. There's a

[30:13] lot of places that are really

[30:15] old. I and their language and

[30:17] references. So we brought this

[30:19] particular section up to speed

[30:24] gender neutral language.

[30:24] Allowing non-citizens to serve

[30:26] on the civil Service

[30:27] Commission. We had already

[30:29] fixed. Classified service

[30:31] recruitment for police and

[30:33] fire when it comes to that and

[30:36] really just putting things

[30:37] where they belong, throughout

[30:40] the charter and into ordinance

[30:42] for putting that companion

[30:43] ordinance through in this just

[30:44] a good governance process. And

[30:45] it was great to work with all

[30:45] these wonderful folks. Thank

[30:49] you so much. Thank you. Thank

[30:50] you. Councilmembers for your

[30:52] work on 2 MADAM Secretary,

[30:54] please put the next item on

[30:56] our screens council bill 11.

[30:56] 0, 7, a bill for an ordinance

[31:00] authorizing a precision from

[31:00] General Fund contingency an

[31:01] appropriation to the general

[31:04] fund to make a cash transfer

[31:05] and appropriations. The

[31:07] liability claims special

[31:08] Revenue Fund Councilmember

[31:08] Luis, please go ahead with

[31:10] your comments on council bill

[31:14] 11. 0, 7, Thank you so much.

[31:15] So I I started with this item

[31:18] last week when it came before

[31:20] us on first reading this item

[31:21] out to represent a wake-up

[31:23] call for the city with regards

[31:25] amount of money we're spending

[31:27] in settlements. Settlements

[31:30] again are not paid out of the

[31:31] specific agencies budgets.

[31:31] Instead, the funding is drawn

[31:32] out of the liability claims

[31:35] Special Revenue fund like

[31:36] other special revenue funds.

[31:38] That money can only be spent

[31:38] on specialize uses in this

[31:41] case paying out settlements.

[31:42] However, when the fun is used

[31:44] up, the city has to move money

[31:45] over from the city's general

[31:46] in order to continue to pay

[31:48] out the claims. And so in

[31:49] other words, every dollar that

[31:51] we move can only be spent to

[31:53] settle cases since was

[31:54] inaugurated in 2023. Council

[31:57] has approved 5 of these items

[32:02] for a grand total of

[32:04] 34 million, 957,300 dollars,

[32:06] $320. Excuse Each of these

[32:07] dollars are Each of these

[32:08] dollars are one less dollar

[32:11] that we could use to fund city

[32:13] staff city programs and city

[32:14] services. This is a staggering

[32:15] amount of lost opportunity

[32:16] that could have been used to

[32:19] find the badly underfunded,

[32:21] temporary rental and utility

[32:22] assistance program. And we

[32:23] could have less in personnel

[32:25] cuts last year. Among other

[32:28] purposes. And so I would love

[32:28] to see structural changes made

[32:31] that would prevent the

[32:32] settlements from the city

[32:34] across all agencies from the

[32:35] Department of Transportation

[32:35] to the Denver Police

[32:39] Department. Thank you so much.

[32:39] Thank you. MADAM Secretary.

[32:41] Please the next item of I'm so

[32:44] sorry. Councilmember parity.

[32:45] Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for

[32:46] calling this council I wanted

[32:48] to just add one other thing

[32:49] for the consideration of

[32:52] public about the amount of of

[32:54] settlement funding that we've

[32:55] seen spend, particularly on

[32:56] public safety settlements. And

[32:59] that is that that relates

[33:00] directly how we handle

[33:04] training internal policy and

[33:05] discipline within the safety

[33:05] agency. So the police

[33:06] department, the sheriffs

[33:10] department and currently at

[33:11] the Office of the Independent

[33:12] Monitor. And this is an

[33:15] oversight board raised

[33:16] repeatedly that they have a

[33:18] disagreement with those

[33:18] departments, about the scope

[33:21] of I am and Co Bees Oversight

[33:23] ordinance, which is supposed

[33:26] to give them a chance to weigh

[33:28] in on policy changes to the

[33:29] disappearing processees in the

[33:30] police and sheriff's

[33:32] departments. And so

[33:33] understanding that that's a

[33:33] dispute. And there MAY be, you

[33:34] know, different ways to

[33:36] legally parse the language. I

[33:37] don't think there's much

[33:38] question from the point of

[33:40] view of the people of the that

[33:41] we want the independent

[33:43] monitor. And this is oversight

[33:44] board involved. Any time there

[33:45] are internal policy changes.

[33:46] And so to the extent that

[33:49] that's not happening, that's a

[33:51] concern that is potentially a

[33:52] driver of these kinds of

[33:53] settlements time. And that's

[33:54] happened recently with moves

[33:55] to education based

[33:57] disciplinary policies in both

[33:59] departments and also a new

[34:02] taser policy within dpd. So

[34:03] it's something to be aware of

[34:03] that's an issue they care

[34:04] about. Thank you. Council

[34:05] thank you. MADAM PRESIDENT.

[34:08] But Thank you, MADAM

[34:09] Secretary. Please put the next

[34:12] item on our screens Council

[34:13] bill 1000 a bill for an

[34:15] ordinance making a rescission,

[34:20] a precision from appropriation

[34:23] in the culture and recreation

[34:24] Special Revenue Fund series to

[34:26] make a cash transfer to an

[34:27] appropriation in the park

[34:29] legacy. Capital Improvement

[34:30] Fund Councilmember Gilmer, you

[34:32] please put council bill 1000

[34:50] council bill. That's probably

[34:53] better way to say it. 26 dash

[34:56] 1000 councilmember Sawyer.

[34:57] Thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT, I

[34:58] call this off tonight so I

[35:02] could vote no on it. And this

[35:03] is something that I struggle

[35:05] with because this is a very

[35:06] worthwhile project. And know

[35:07] that there is a need for more

[35:10] park space downtown. But at

[35:13] the same time this summer, I

[35:14] have spent hours and hours and

[35:16] hours with my constituents in

[35:17] district 5 who have e-mailed

[35:19] me who come to office hours,

[35:20] who had conversations with

[35:24] Parks and rec and who have

[35:26] really struggled. I'll give

[35:28] you 2 specific examples of how

[35:33] the first one the scooters? So

[35:34] we have in district 5 and I

[35:35] suspect that you all have seen

[35:39] this in your districts as well

[35:40] in your parks, a number of

[35:42] young who are as I refer to

[35:42] cause. And I can say this

[35:45] because I have teenagers,

[35:47] feral teenagers running around

[35:48] all summer long, right? And

[35:49] what they're doing is they're

[35:50] driving their e-bikes through

[35:52] our parks. They're ripping

[35:55] apart graphs in JUNE, young

[35:56] child who was playing on a

[35:57] playground Robinson Park was

[35:59] almost hit and injured by one

[36:00] of these bikes. Now I'm gonna

[36:01] tell you right now this is the

[36:02] responsibility of their

[36:05] parents. However, when this

[36:06] kind of behavior is happening

[36:09] in a park, it is also the

[36:11] responsibility of our park

[36:12] rangers to ensure that it does

[36:14] not continue. And

[36:16] unfortunately, my residents

[36:16] have been told by Parks and

[36:17] Rec park Rangers directly.

[36:20] There is not the staffing. To

[36:22] enforce it. There is not the

[36:24] budget to put up signage to

[36:26] bring awareness to it. So

[36:28] that's the first issue. Second

[36:31] issue I was going to announce

[36:32] that. But instead I'm going to

[36:33] an announcement but also

[36:34] mentioned it right now. A fair

[36:35] park is celebrating its 30th

[36:39] anniversary this year. And

[36:40] that's really exciting. We're

[36:41] going to a proclamation us all

[36:43] see it in a couple of weeks.

[36:45] Really looking forward to

[36:46] celebrating the 30th

[36:47] anniversary of major park,

[36:48] which is going to happen on

[36:50] AUGUST 22nd from 05:00pm to

[36:51] 08:00pm in Major Park. This is

[36:52] something that happens every

[36:54] year. There's food trucks. The

[36:55] Denver Municipal Band will

[36:56] play hundreds of neighbors

[36:58] come out and enjoy community

[37:00] together. What they won't

[37:04] enjoy is a bathroom because

[37:06] Parks and Rec has told our

[37:07] office the registered

[37:08] neighborhood organization and

[37:10] all of the residents who have

[37:12] called him that they are not

[37:13] the dollars or the staffing to

[37:16] be able to put Porta potties

[37:16] in Mayfair Park or several

[37:21] other parks. In District 5. I

[37:22] know that this is happening

[37:25] across everyone's districts.

[37:25] I'm just only going to speak

[37:27] for Emmys. I statements only

[37:27] speak for district 5 because

[37:30] that's what I know about here.

[37:31] This is a problem because what

[37:33] my residents came to me and

[37:37] there were not wrong. Is that

[37:40] the dollars that they're

[37:40] paying in taxes are not coming

[37:41] back to them. They are not

[37:42] getting the return on

[37:44] investment that they deserve

[37:45] for what they are being

[37:48] charged to live in our city

[37:49] when there are young families

[37:52] with kids when there are

[37:52] elderly families and they

[37:57] can't access a room for a 30th

[37:58] anniversary celebration in one

[38:03] of our parks. Not ok. And so

[38:05] what we're looking at here in

[38:06] this ordinance is a transfer

[38:08] of dollars in the park legacy

[38:08] funds. The Parks Legacy Fund

[38:13] was voted on by the voters of

[38:18] Denver is a 0, 2, 5%, to 5

[38:20] sales tax that goes directly

[38:22] to funds the maintenance of

[38:24] our parks. The acquisition of

[38:25] more Parkland, et cetera. And

[38:25] that's what we're talking

[38:26] about here tonight. 3 million

[38:28] dollars to acquire more

[38:30] Parkland. And that is a really

[38:31] worthwhile saying that we

[38:36] should be doing. But it is at

[38:39] the expense providing services

[38:39] to our residents who are

[38:42] paying these taxes. And that

[38:43] is where the problem lies.

[38:46] This is an administration that

[38:48] focuses on major projects and

[38:50] not on the needs and the value

[38:51] for their dollar for the

[38:53] residents of our city. And so

[38:55] I'm going to be a No tonight

[38:56] because I want to make sure

[38:57] that the point is me that this

[39:01] is not okay that our residents

[39:02] are not happy with this, that

[39:03] they do not believe that they

[39:05] are getting the value for

[39:06] their dollar and they should

[39:07] been there right. And so I'll

[39:09] be tonight. Thank you. Thank

[39:12] you. Councilmember Hines,

[39:13] thank you. MADAM PRESIDENT,

[39:13] thank you. Councilmember

[39:18] Sawyer High. You are not the

[39:21] only one who has concerns how

[39:25] an agency is is acting or are

[39:26] reacting. So I I certainly

[39:32] understand it supports you and

[39:34] All I your concerns are more

[39:35] about parts generally as

[39:37] opposed to this particular

[39:41] acquisition. And I would say

[39:41] high that, you know this these

[39:45] funds are just 4 capital

[39:46] expenditures, not operating

[39:48] expenditures and expenditures

[39:49] like providing additional park

[39:53] Rangers services are. And this

[39:56] is actually boy the first time

[39:58] that any funds have been

[39:59] expended District 10. And so

[40:03] the Parks Legacy Fund has has

[40:04] purchased areas and many other

[40:07] sections of the city. This is

[40:08] district ends first

[40:11] opportunity have a purchase. I

[40:13] still think that it's a very

[40:14] good purchase and I will be

[40:16] voting for it. So thank you,

[40:18] MADAM PRESIDENT, thank you.

[40:19] Councilmember Gilmore, thank

[40:24] you. Council PRESIDENT, I the

[40:27] conversation here tonight. I

[40:30] just want to remind folks

[40:31] that, you know, these folks

[40:32] are important and the way that

[40:35] we vote talks about our values

[40:38] and earlier this year, I

[40:41] talked extensively about a 7.9

[40:43] million dollar project that

[40:48] was slated for district 11 for

[40:50] a maintenance shop

[40:52] conveniently parks decided to

[40:54] slash that project by 5.4

[40:56] million and divert that money

[40:59] elsewhere outside of District

[41:02] 11 in Montbello and Green

[41:04] Valley Ranch. And we're

[41:08] getting a 2.5 million middle

[41:09] Tuff shed in Green Valley

[41:12] Ranch, whereas closer to

[41:16] downtown. They're getting a

[41:18] 13.3 million dollar

[41:23] maintenance facility with 79

[41:23] workstations innings or Brent

[41:27] amount of amenities. And none

[41:28] of that for a majority

[41:32] community of color. And so

[41:36] this capital I acquired meant

[41:37] is important, but capital can

[41:39] also be utilized on building

[41:43] the very buildings that we

[41:45] need. So I am very happy to

[41:51] vote no on in a way to push

[41:53] back the irresponsible and non

[41:54] accountable way that Denver

[41:59] Parks and Rec has been

[42:01] allocating funds and spending

[42:04] with no concern at all around

[42:05] equity, especially for those

[42:07] who historically have been

[42:09] underserved since the

[42:10] inception of the city and

[42:13] county of Denver. And that's

[42:15] very easy to say. See the lack

[42:19] of parks and park maintenance

[42:20] facilities in the far

[42:21] Northeast. Thank you, council

[42:23] president, thank you.

[42:26] COUNCILMAN Cashman. Thank

[42:28] Council PRESIDENT. I agree

[42:30] with COUNCILMAN Hines, it's

[42:31] inappropriate use of these

[42:33] funds. But I also agree with

[42:34] Mike colleagues that there

[42:38] there are some basic services

[42:39] that aren't getting I have had

[42:43] a request to for restrooms to

[42:47] be open recently. An

[42:48] observatory park, apparently

[42:49] all restrooms now close to

[42:52] 02:00pm. Because we don't have

[42:55] the personnel to to do better

[43:00] than that. The conditions of

[43:00] our restrooms are very

[43:03] frequently, atrocious. It's

[43:04] basic stuff. What are our

[43:08] parks replace where our

[43:11] families gather bold young in

[43:13] between. We've got figure out

[43:15] a way to get these basic

[43:18] services funded. You know, I

[43:19] keep saying the same thing we

[43:20] the past year have come up

[43:24] with large dollar items. 4

[43:25] major projects. And that's

[43:28] great that the projects on my

[43:30] mind were we're needed an end.

[43:32] We'll make our city a better

[43:35] place to be this new park in

[43:38] district Well, we'll make our

[43:39] city a better place to be.

[43:42] Your Lord, if we can find the

[43:44] money for for these major

[43:45] projects, we've got be able to

[43:49] find the money to take care of

[43:51] the basics. You know, keep

[43:55] heart restrooms clear, clean

[43:58] and open is kind of basic. So

[44:02] I'll as I said, supporting

[44:04] this bill, but also be asking

[44:04] some hard questions, Ed, that

[44:07] budget this year. Thank you,

[44:10] MADAM PRESIDENT, thank

[44:11] Councilmember Sandoval, think

[44:13] you MADAM PRESIDENT, I have a

[44:26] question real for real

[44:27] investing think been

[44:31] committee, we talked about or

[44:33] market value. I think it's and

[44:34] we're paying more for this.

[44:37] Then that they came I can

[44:42] remember respect but praise

[44:44] that you think you remember

[44:46] the terminology Miami, how

[44:47] much more we're paying for and

[44:50] I apologize. COUNCILWOMAN.

[44:53] First, Lisa Lumley director of

[44:58] real estate. It you know, some

[45:05] looking right now, Kevin, it.

[45:08] 5 500,000. I think it's going

[45:11] over and I apologize that I

[45:12] didn't have. My understanding

[45:13] was we there was a different

[45:14] topic to talk about. Tonight's

[45:17] are apologizing my notes. What

[45:18] I will say, though, is the

[45:18] assessors have also been

[45:23] looking in there as the values

[45:24] have changed around there.

[45:24] There's a lot that happening

[45:28] all at once. But yes, there is

[45:31] there is a window that is

[45:31] reasonable within appraised

[45:34] values up or down within a 10%

[45:36] window. That still can be

[45:37] considered an appropriate. But

[45:37] you're right, there was a

[45:39] business decision made as

[45:40] well. Thank you. And if I

[45:41] remember correctly, when we

[45:44] have committee, there's not

[45:48] currently any money for plan

[45:50] and this park implementing

[45:51] into a park from what I

[45:52] understand from committee is

[45:55] the building will be used for

[45:55] parks and recreation staff. Is

[45:57] that correct? Well, there

[45:58] would be some money that we're

[46:00] also, including for design

[46:01] piece of that and being able

[46:04] talk about a programming with

[46:05] the community. Staff would

[46:07] only be using during that

[46:09] interim time so that we just

[46:11] have activation there. So it's

[46:11] just not an empty building

[46:13] sitting there, not for the

[46:14] long-term use. Understand you

[46:16] might how much you was

[46:20] projected for tick needed

[46:20] dollars to turn into a park.

[46:21] I'm going to need to verify

[46:29] with parks. You know, well,

[46:33] Starbucks wreck. We is part of

[46:34] this transaction. We have a

[46:36] little bit reserved to do

[46:37] Initial count, something

[46:37] vision planning that will

[46:40] inform with the eventual bill

[46:42] though costs passed. We don't

[46:44] have a precise number. We have

[46:45] some industry standards that

[46:48] we use just is rule of thumb.

[46:50] But need to get deeper into

[46:51] that concept. Thing to say,

[46:53] look, this is actually takes

[46:53] to work in our 5 year plan for

[46:54] that bill. That right now we

[46:56] just be securing the property

[46:59] and eventually we have.

[47:01] Capacity to work under plan

[47:02] beginning those conversations

[47:02] about what should specific

[47:04] character, this place to be.

[47:07] Thank I will also be tonight.

[47:09] As I mentioned in committee, I

[47:11] was moved on to the full

[47:12] council, but I was I said, I

[47:14] did not support this team

[47:16] because of face value and not

[47:19] having fun mean Your mark

[47:21] towards this. Although I do

[47:26] know where have a park deficit

[47:26] the park right across the

[47:29] street from west civic Center

[47:31] park is getting a huge update.

[47:32] Skyline Park just got a huge

[47:33] update. There have been lots

[47:37] of investments and I just I

[47:39] don't agree with. And that

[47:39] using a half a million dollars

[47:40] over face value. Thank you,

[47:41] MADAM PRESIDENT, thank you.

[47:44] Council member of the So

[47:49] that's thank you so much. I

[47:50] appreciate my colleagues

[47:51] comments. I think that we do

[47:52] need to look at that and how

[47:54] much we spend over appraised

[47:58] value. I am curious. My

[47:59] understanding is this is not

[48:00] zoned for a park yet. Is that

[48:04] correct? Correct? It would

[48:06] come back for a rezoning for

[48:07] open space. The reason I ask

[48:09] is that over the weekend I

[48:11] found out that some local

[48:12] businesses are using it for

[48:15] parking. And so I was curious,

[48:16] would they still be able to do

[48:17] that being a park with that

[48:20] person? Any public use their

[48:24] parking if we acquire. Then at

[48:26] that point, no, it would not

[48:29] be public. Just wanted for

[48:30] information on purchases

[48:33] purposes. Sorry, I am. I

[48:35] definitely have concerns. I

[48:36] want to make sure that we get

[48:37] parkway guess Iif and there

[48:38] across the city. But I also

[48:41] think this will be really

[48:42] important to these residents

[48:43] here in this area. When I talk

[48:45] to the residents in district

[48:46] 7, 1, of their biggest

[48:48] concerns is enough park space

[48:50] for all the new high rises in

[48:52] this area has added quite a

[48:54] bit density. And so for those

[48:54] reasons, all be supportive of

[48:56] this tonight. Thank Council

[48:58] PRESIDENT, thank you.

[48:59] Councilmember Hines, thank

[49:00] you. MADAM PRESIDENT, just a

[49:03] quick Skyline and civic

[49:04] center, parts are things that

[49:07] have been funded in part

[49:09] through a different set of

[49:14] funds, 10 a Parks legacy and

[49:16] vast majority people live in

[49:16] district 10 live outside of

[49:17] the footprint for that funds.

[49:22] Heart of the local. So this

[49:23] helping people in district 10

[49:26] I could Participator take

[49:28] advantage of those larger pots

[49:32] of funds. Thank Thank you. I

[49:34] actually have a question for

[49:36] you as well for real estate.

[49:38] But you had mentioned that

[49:40] things have kind of been

[49:41] changing in the neighborhood.

[49:42] It does that mean that the

[49:46] appraisal value has also

[49:46] decreased it and no, we're

[49:52] not. Not enough. Probably for

[49:54] me at the moment to say that

[49:54] it would make a difference in

[49:58] the discussion tonight. What I

[49:59] will say, though, is that

[49:59] we're also fighting, though,

[50:00] the challenge of even finding

[50:01] any property in that district

[50:05] in that area, which we have

[50:07] discussed a committee as This

[50:12] is something that has within a

[50:14] list of assets trying to

[50:16] identify something from U.S.

[50:17] 15 years. This is the first

[50:17] that we've been able to

[50:20] identify actually move forward

[50:23] West and then another question

[50:25] for the amount that's being

[50:27] approved since things are

[50:28] fluctuating. If we approve the

[50:30] amount, would you also then be

[50:32] able to for the appraised

[50:33] amount or does it have to be

[50:35] the amount that we approved

[50:37] that that's up for approval.

[50:38] As far as for what actually

[50:41] move forward with. Yes, it

[50:42] would be the approved purchase

[50:45] price, not the appraised

[50:48] value. So again, we what we

[50:51] are trying what we what you

[50:52] had already approved in the

[50:55] purchase and sale agreement

[50:56] was the purchase price. This

[51:00] then if I'm not mistaken, is

[51:07] companion ordinance to move to

[51:08] Companion ordinance to okay to

[51:12] move the funds. So My my

[51:16] question being we are in a

[51:18] tight budget season. And so it

[51:21] just to go beyond what the

[51:22] approved appraisal value is.

[51:22] And I know that we have talked

[51:28] about this in committee. Seems

[51:30] very generous. And in this

[51:31] case that we have, you know, a

[51:33] property owner that which

[51:37] received far more than what we

[51:39] had to go shaded downs from

[51:41] where that had started. I will

[51:42] say that. So we're we're not

[51:44] just settling of appraised

[51:44] value. This it studies this

[51:47] was through some negotiations

[51:49] where we arrived at the actual

[51:54] price. Thank you.

[51:55] Councilmember Kansas contest.

[51:58] Thank you. MADAM PRESIDENT. I

[52:01] know that committee. I had

[52:01] asked the question and I think

[52:02] myself and a couple of my

[52:04] colleagues asked about. I'm

[52:05] getting some information

[52:06] around how many parks per

[52:08] capita are in the each

[52:11] district? I don't know. I just

[52:12] searched for that, but I don't

[52:13] know if that was provided to

[52:18] us. So I don't know. You have

[52:19] that information. The parks

[52:23] per capita in each district.

[52:24] We've asked about it in

[52:24] committee. And so just

[52:27] following up on that. Yes, and

[52:30] fouled back up with district.

[52:33] 10. He's one of our lowest 2.5

[52:35] per 1000 and our citywide

[52:38] averages between 9 and 10. So

[52:39] this us. Lisa mention a huge

[52:40] priority for us to close a 5

[52:42] minute walk gap in it and our

[52:44] value in one of our densest

[52:45] and the lowest per capita

[52:46] area. So those are 2 key Park

[52:52] service, nexus metrics in

[52:53] Although concerns, but from

[52:54] parks system perspective in

[52:55] the growth of the city, it's

[52:57] those are think the main

[52:59] things we're trying so and

[53:00] haven't been able to find a

[53:03] property over 15 years. Thank

[53:04] One other question and make

[53:08] this might be for you, Lisa,

[53:09] because it was mentioned that

[53:12] this is for that the Capitol

[53:15] in Parks, legacy capital

[53:15] permit fun. But it's special

[53:18] Revenue fund transferring over

[53:19] and COUNCILMAN Sawyer was

[53:20] saying was that that fund it

[53:22] can be utilized for the

[53:24] ongoing maintenance of parks

[53:25] and whatnot. So I guess just

[53:28] real quick walk me through

[53:30] this fund that it's the money

[53:31] is to be taken. That is being

[53:33] appropriated comes from that

[53:36] parks, the Special Revenue

[53:38] Fund, correct. And that can be

[53:39] utilized for maintenance of

[53:42] parks and upkeep of our

[53:44] current parks. I mean, yes, I

[53:46] looking for Dennis. Yes, that

[53:47] is what it was meant for

[53:48] capital acquisitions and the

[53:51] maintenance. Okay. And so I

[53:53] just want to be clear like

[53:54] this is so these these funds

[53:56] could be used in that way. But

[53:58] they're being transferred over

[54:01] to be utilized capital to

[54:04] acquire The slant correct?

[54:05] Okay. Thank you. That's Thank

[54:07] you. MADAM PRESIDENT, thank

[54:12] you. Councilmember parity.

[54:13] Yeah, thank you so I just I

[54:15] wanted to lease. I'm curious

[54:18] if you know this, but I think

[54:21] that location is that right by

[54:25] Circle k that has slate of

[54:26] just a lot like activity and

[54:27] things like that for the last

[54:29] couple of I can't speak to

[54:31] what going on there. But yes,

[54:32] this is this parcel is

[54:33] actually right in the

[54:34] building. It's the former

[54:36] credit union drive-thru, ok?

[54:38] So it is that location right

[54:42] there. They're okay. That

[54:42] actually now that I know that

[54:45] that's the exact that Hosni

[54:46] sort of visualize distance,

[54:48] other green space and the need

[54:50] for it. The other question I

[54:51] have for you is how long will

[54:53] it be until this park actually

[54:54] gets built out? Like I know

[54:55] we're often, you know, there's

[54:56] a big lag between the

[54:59] acquisition and the so that I

[55:00] MAY need to call on my parks,

[55:01] friends to speak to the actual

[55:08] thank On most parks rec, there

[55:10] will be a lag because we have

[55:11] another perk acquisitions that

[55:12] we've made that are working

[55:14] their way through planning

[55:15] process that we have poor.

[55:15] Park is one that we need to

[55:19] that is in the process now. We

[55:19] make these land acquisitions

[55:20] that we need to start working

[55:23] them into the 5 year plan. We

[55:23] already have lots of

[55:24] commitments under capital

[55:25] plan. So it's not something

[55:28] that can start tomorrow. I

[55:29] expect probably and early 2028

[55:32] starting that community kind

[55:34] conversation about what is the

[55:38] character and desired park

[55:39] character. But the detailed

[55:41] design and implementation have

[55:41] to follow in out here. So we

[55:43] don't have those projected

[55:45] just yet, ok, thank you. And

[55:45] if you could stay for a

[55:46] second, I have couple just a

[55:49] little to that. Having served

[55:49] on park related committee for

[55:51] the Bond. I sort of saw a lot

[55:55] of those pipelines We have to

[55:56] keep land acquisition one

[55:57] moving and that that there's

[55:58] there's a lag by nature,

[56:01] right? But I am curious how

[56:02] many properties we currently

[56:04] on the plans to be a park,

[56:06] whether their designated yet

[56:06] or not that are not yet built

[56:09] out around the city. I would

[56:10] need to do some homework on.

[56:18] That a rough, just curious. I

[56:19] don't know. I can take some of

[56:21] them have taken quite a while,

[56:22] too construction that have

[56:24] been in that purple and for

[56:25] many years. And hopefully

[56:27] that's not the case anymore.

[56:27] Since we do more financial

[56:31] resources that we did. But I

[56:32] would have to fall back to

[56:33] give you a number. Come to

[56:35] know that's okay. And the how

[56:36] do you balance between the new

[56:37] acquisitions that and the

[56:37] ball? That's because the

[56:38] legacy fund can be used for

[56:44] both right. Yes. Like the

[56:45] acquisitions as one of the

[56:47] core items that was identified

[56:48] in that ordinance that thanks

[56:49] to a ordinance. So it is a

[56:50] balance. And what is the right

[56:55] balance? I think part of the

[56:56] question, mean, this is also

[56:56] what can cause to supplanting.

[56:57] There's some language about

[57:02] this to be. Not back needs

[57:03] that should otherwise been

[57:04] addressed by the General fund,

[57:05] but to be able to advance the

[57:08] game plan and the other

[57:09] handful of items that were on,

[57:09] though, that ordinance of it

[57:12] is a balance right now. We try

[57:14] to have a small working

[57:15] Capital Mountain, our

[57:16] acquisition fund we can act

[57:18] when the opportunities

[57:19] available. By and large, it

[57:21] this far smaller than our

[57:22] annual capital plan for

[57:23] capital maintenance part

[57:25] buildup. Ok, thank you. Those

[57:26] are my questions. Thank you,

[57:28] MADAM PRESIDENT, thank you.

[57:29] Councilmember Sawyer, thanks

[57:30] to PRESIDENT Just wanted to

[57:31] take a quick second to clarify

[57:33] something that parks and rec

[57:33] just said, because I find it a

[57:36] little bit concerning the

[57:38] previous speaker brought up

[57:38] Emporia Park Emporia Park is a

[57:44] park in district 5. It was

[57:46] using a small amount of legacy

[57:47] dollars. The rest of the money

[57:49] came from the park's trust

[57:52] Denver Parks. Trust a to be

[57:53] able to purchase that. I want

[57:57] to be very clear. The build

[57:57] out the design and

[57:58] construction of that park is

[58:02] bond project. But it's not

[58:03] coming from the Parks Legacy

[58:07] Fund and it really concerns me

[58:11] you know, false information

[58:12] being shared up here with you

[58:14] Thank you. Councilmember

[58:16] Hines, thank you. MADAM

[58:17] PRESIDENT my 3rd bite at

[58:20] conversation. Has a question

[58:22] about acres per 1000

[58:24] residents. District 10 has 2.3

[58:25] acres per 1000 residents,

[58:26] which is the lowest amount of

[58:30] any council district. A second

[58:31] Lois Council district

[58:35] discounts district 7 at 7.6, a

[58:37] girls acres per 1000

[58:38] residents. Certainly we in

[58:39] district and have a lot of

[58:40] density and water parks. Thank

[58:46] you, MADAM PRESIDENT. Thank

[1:00:33] been moved and seconded. There

[1:00:34] is a another motion on the

[1:00:37] Tem Gonzalez could get us. But

[1:00:38] would you like to do with

[1:00:41] council 0, 9, to one. Thank

[1:00:42] you, council PRESIDENT. I move

[1:00:44] that council bill. 26 0, 9, 2,

[1:00:46] 1, be amended in the following

[1:00:49] particulars on Page 7 line. 24

[1:00:50] strike. The entertainment

[1:00:52] business shall provide such

[1:00:53] records following a request

[1:00:54] from a law enforcement officer

[1:00:56] City official that is

[1:00:57] submitted in the performance

[1:00:58] of their official duties as

[1:01:01] part of an official

[1:01:01] investigation and must provide

[1:01:03] access to off premises records

[1:01:03] within 3 business days.

[1:01:08] Following your request. It has

[1:01:09] been moved and seconded

[1:01:11] questions and comments by

[1:01:12] members of Council on

[1:01:13] amendment one to council Bill,

[1:01:14] 0, 9, 2, one council PRESIDENT

[1:01:18] Pro Tem Gonzalez could get us.

[1:01:21] Thank MADAM. Amendment removes

[1:01:22] the language related to

[1:01:22] provision of records retained

[1:01:25] by entertainment businesses to

[1:01:25] law enforcement or city

[1:01:29] officials. I will say that

[1:01:29] myself and COUNCILMAN Lewis

[1:01:33] worked on this amendment with

[1:01:35] with license and consumer

[1:01:36] protections and really

[1:01:39] appreciate their thoughts on

[1:01:40] this behind this amendment.

[1:01:41] And we also because we heard

[1:01:46] concerns from aclu

[1:01:48] specifically around that

[1:01:49] language, not necessarily be

[1:01:52] needed because that right

[1:01:52] already exists. Law

[1:01:57] enforcement can access records

[1:01:58] under warrant or probable

[1:02:00] cause. So that is still

[1:02:01] allowable. It doesn't change.

[1:02:05] City officials from accessing

[1:02:06] and their investigation

[1:02:07] process. And we've also

[1:02:08] received confirmation that

[1:02:09] both of those things will

[1:02:12] remain true and that the

[1:02:12] language was unnecessary to

[1:02:14] have in this Bill. Thank MADAM

[1:02:22] PRESIDENT. Thank you. I

[1:02:22] believe we do have a second.

[1:04:09] Entertainment business is an

[1:04:10] adult entertainment

[1:04:13] businesses. This came forward

[1:04:19] folks in the industry

[1:04:20] expressed concern on their

[1:04:20] kind of their rights to

[1:04:24] privacy insensitive spaces.

[1:04:25] And so again, thanking the

[1:04:27] Department of Licensing

[1:04:42] support of this. Thank

[1:04:43] Councilmember parity. Yes,

[1:04:45] thank I just want to speak

[1:04:47] quickly in support of us as

[1:04:49] It's a learning for me to know

[1:04:52] more about some of the work

[1:04:54] conditions of people who work

[1:04:55] in the entertainment business

[1:04:56] in the city. And there's

[1:04:58] really so much that could be

[1:04:59] doing about their work

[1:05:02] conditions, which are often

[1:05:04] just sometimes really fraught

[1:05:05] experience. A lot of danger in

[1:05:07] the workplace more so than a

[1:05:09] lot of other occupations. A

[1:05:11] lot of ways a lot of

[1:05:12] shenanigans, for lack of a

[1:05:13] better word. So I just want to

[1:05:14] thank my colleagues for

[1:05:15] working with the aclu and

[1:05:18] moving this amendment. Then

[1:05:19] also some members my office

[1:05:21] team who who supported that

[1:05:24] work and was just a very, very

[1:05:26] good catch. Appreciate it.

[1:05:27] Thank you. Thank you. MADAM

[1:05:28] PRESIDENT, thank you. I'm also

[1:05:29] in support of this amendment.

[1:05:33] We have an adult entertainment

[1:05:35] business and I appreciate the

[1:05:36] extra protections. MADAM

[1:05:37] Secretary Roll Call an

[1:05:54] consulted Terrace time.

[1:05:56] Alright, Cashman Snow, ice and

[1:06:01] guarantee tend of right,

[1:06:02] Sawyer, I Torres, had a

[1:06:04] PRESIDENT Romero. Campbell.

[1:06:06] MADAM Secretary. Close to

[1:06:08] voting and announce the

[1:06:11] results. 13 13 eyes amendment

[1:06:13] to the council Bill. 0, 9, 2,

[1:06:14] one has passed. There's

[1:06:15] another motion on the floor.

[1:06:16] Councilmember Torres, what

[1:06:18] would you like to do with

[1:06:24] council Bill? 0, 9, to one

[1:06:25] thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT, I

[1:06:28] move that council bill. 26

[1:06:29] does Sarah 9 to one be amended

[1:06:32] in the following particulars

[1:06:35] on Page 19 strike line 18

[1:06:36] strike for Em and replaced

[1:06:41] with 02:00am. It has been

[1:06:43] moved and seconded questions

[1:06:44] and comments by members of

[1:06:46] Council on amendment 3 to

[1:06:48] council. 26 Dash 0, 9, 2, one

[1:06:49] councilmember Torres, thank

[1:06:51] you so much. This amendment

[1:06:53] specifies the hours when it

[1:06:55] would be unlawful to for

[1:06:57] nightlife in a team of

[1:07:00] businesses and adult

[1:07:01] entertainment businesses to

[1:07:02] operate. This is one of the

[1:07:03] sections that I think is

[1:07:07] received quite a lot of

[1:07:08] attention due to that, I want

[1:07:09] to make sure that we're of the

[1:07:12] sizing. How could this bill is

[1:07:15] the process that excise a

[1:07:18] license licensing or

[1:07:19] protection have gun to really

[1:07:22] kind of look clea at their

[1:07:24] process this was one that I

[1:07:26] could get entirely comfortable

[1:07:26] with. And that was the

[1:07:33] 04:00am. A provision. I think

[1:07:35] we're not quite there yet data

[1:07:36] that demonstrates that things

[1:07:39] could safer with the leader

[1:07:40] exit time. I think what I

[1:07:43] would be interested in is if

[1:07:45] we can somehow step our way

[1:07:47] into this, particularly a

[1:07:49] pilot, geographic locations

[1:07:51] like where's this actually

[1:07:53] being desired by which

[1:07:56] sectors? And let's start

[1:07:58] little bit more narrowly that

[1:07:59] I think my future interest in

[1:08:01] this tonight, though, I think

[1:08:04] this bill needs pull that

[1:08:08] section of being up until

[1:08:09] 04:00am want to get I think

[1:08:11] broader support, particularly

[1:08:14] from But I think from others

[1:08:15] council and for us to think

[1:08:15] just think a little bit

[1:08:18] differently about how that

[1:08:19] later opening might actually

[1:08:21] be helpful. Thank you, MADAM

[1:08:24] PRESIDENT, thank you.

[1:08:26] Councilmember Hines, thank

[1:08:26] you. MADAM PRESIDENT, thank

[1:08:30] you. Colleagues as as I talked

[1:08:31] with most of you, I was

[1:08:33] considering an amendment to

[1:08:34] have a pilot that would

[1:08:37] Resendiz JANUARY first 2030. I

[1:08:42] want to thank council for

[1:08:45] suggesting this. This I have

[1:08:47] withdrawn my amendment

[1:08:48] supporting council Torres.

[1:08:51] This amendment because it

[1:08:54] does. I think there are

[1:08:56] opportunities for us to

[1:08:57] consider particularly

[1:09:00] downtown, MAY be the 5 point

[1:09:04] statistical neighborhood,

[1:09:05] Ballpark. But I can certainly

[1:09:06] understand that the things

[1:09:08] that are good for downtown MAY

[1:09:11] not be good for elsewhere and

[1:09:12] and frankly, we don't even

[1:09:13] know if it is for sure. Good

[1:09:15] for downtown. Said, thank you,

[1:09:16] council Torres for bringing

[1:09:19] the Amendment. I'll be yes.

[1:09:25] Thank you. Cashman. Thank you.

[1:09:27] Council PRESIDENT. Yeah, I

[1:09:27] actually thought that the way

[1:09:29] the ordinance was written,

[1:09:31] that the hearing provisions

[1:09:34] that would have provided an

[1:09:37] opportunity to extend the late

[1:09:40] night where it is appropriate

[1:09:40] and that the hearing process

[1:09:42] would have protected

[1:09:45] neighborhoods where it isn't

[1:09:46] appropriate. However,

[1:09:49] appreciate this amendment. I

[1:09:52] look forward and that's my

[1:09:52] understanding that a working

[1:09:53] group will will come together

[1:09:58] to look at how could we pilot

[1:09:59] this gather the data that will

[1:10:02] make people more comfortable.

[1:10:03] And so I'm hoping not a long

[1:10:05] time down the line. Well,

[1:10:08] we'll have a pilot that we can

[1:10:11] not look see. Do the benefits

[1:10:11] actually, I waive people's

[1:10:12] concern. Why expect they will?

[1:10:15] Thank you. MADAM PRESIDENT,

[1:10:16] thank you. Councilmember

[1:10:20] Sawyer. Thank you. MADAM

[1:10:21] First, just want to say thank

[1:10:22] you, Councilmember Torres for

[1:10:24] bringing this forward. And I

[1:10:26] want to say a huge thank you

[1:10:28] to the staff not excise and

[1:10:33] license. What is your name

[1:10:34] down? Details I'm sorry, guys.

[1:10:35] I promised by the year from

[1:10:35] now. When I leave here, I will

[1:10:39] get that right. This I really

[1:10:42] appreciated. This has been in

[1:10:43] issue of major concern for the

[1:10:45] residents of district 5 and

[1:10:46] frankly for the businesses,

[1:10:47] including businesses and

[1:10:48] business improvement districts

[1:10:52] in District 5. So with change

[1:10:54] and a very long email chain

[1:10:55] and discussion that I had with

[1:10:57] Erica Lee last week about some

[1:11:00] of concerns around good

[1:11:01] neighbor agreements. I voted

[1:11:04] no on publication. I had every

[1:11:06] intention of voting. No,

[1:11:08] assuming that this change is

[1:11:09] made, I think that this really

[1:11:10] resolve the challenges and

[1:11:11] concerns of my residents all

[1:11:15] be yes. Thank you. Thank

[1:11:16] Councilmember Watson thank

[1:11:17] you, MADAM PRESIDENT, I have

[1:11:19] one question for consumer

[1:11:20] protection and licensing and I

[1:11:21] have one comment. So anyone

[1:11:23] from the team, if you don't

[1:11:24] mind coming forward and

[1:11:26] speaking to the amendments are

[1:11:27] made, what impact side would

[1:11:28] have on the good work that you

[1:11:29] have done? And I'm just

[1:11:31] sharing your thoughts. Yeah.

[1:11:34] Hi. Thank you. Molly did the

[1:11:35] same licensing consumer

[1:11:36] protection. I'm so getting a

[1:11:40] switch U.S. Yeah, great

[1:11:41] question. I think that we had

[1:11:43] included this provision in the

[1:11:45] bill with some hopes that

[1:11:46] there was an additional

[1:11:49] opportunities for

[1:11:50] entertainment businesses with

[1:11:51] some hopes that it would

[1:11:52] release some of the pressure

[1:11:54] that we see particularly in

[1:11:56] downtown during that time when

[1:11:58] all bars and entertainment

[1:12:00] business is let out and what

[1:12:03] we've seen down there is, you

[1:12:04] know, increase issues with

[1:12:07] safety and violence during

[1:12:09] that time. And so, you know, I

[1:12:10] dent acknowledging that that

[1:12:12] is the key area where we

[1:12:13] thought this provide some

[1:12:13] benefit. I think we're happy

[1:12:17] to come back. It's this

[1:12:19] amendment passes to come back

[1:12:21] and see if right for smaller,

[1:12:23] localized pilot at a later

[1:12:25] time. Thank you so much,

[1:12:28] Molly. I want to share that. I

[1:12:29] want to thank them all deeply

[1:12:31] Shane Erica Rogers. Abby, how

[1:12:32] is France last name

[1:12:36] incorrectly sa Correct on

[1:12:37] Kellie Abrams. Rivers Sheila

[1:12:39] cannot be from district 6 and

[1:12:41] so many others for the work

[1:12:42] that you've done over the last

[1:12:46] year, maybe even longer on

[1:12:47] this on my support,

[1:12:48] Councilmember Torres is

[1:12:48] amendment. I think it makes

[1:12:49] sense and look forward to

[1:12:51] working collaboration with the

[1:12:54] advisory group as well as my

[1:12:55] colleagues on pilots. That

[1:12:55] makes sense within the

[1:12:56] districts where the greatest

[1:12:57] impact. Thank you, MADAM

[1:12:58] PRESIDENT, thank you.

[1:12:59] Councilmember parity. He I

[1:13:01] just also want to smell quick

[1:13:02] question. Whoever from deal

[1:13:11] safety? Thank you. I because I

[1:13:13] think this it's been a subject

[1:13:16] to some degree of public

[1:13:17] attention MAY be no one really

[1:13:18] has a licensing deal. There's

[1:13:18] been a little bit of media and

[1:13:19] all that. Could you take us 2

[1:13:20] steps back and explain the

[1:13:23] rationale. That's the

[1:13:26] rationale of before provision

[1:13:28] would sort of release the

[1:13:32] pressure. People leaving. Yes.

[1:13:36] So what we is when liquor

[1:13:37] services required to end it to

[1:13:40] lot of the bars we'll do or

[1:13:42] their last call around one 31,

[1:13:42] 45. And then everybody leaves

[1:13:46] the far-right it too. So what

[1:13:47] that result in is kind of

[1:13:51] competition of resources for

[1:13:52] that ride home to find some

[1:13:55] food. People are at kind of

[1:13:57] there. He can talk staycations

[1:13:58] and so they run into each

[1:13:58] other funds into each other

[1:13:59] and there and ends up being

[1:14:02] some fights. And so what we're

[1:14:03] hoping is that, you know, if

[1:14:05] some bars would stay up until

[1:14:07] 2.30, in all cases, liquor

[1:14:08] service was still required to

[1:14:11] end at 02:00am. So what was

[1:14:11] all that was going to be

[1:14:14] extended was not any drinking

[1:14:17] times, but just the additional

[1:14:18] and hours of entertainment. If

[1:14:21] some bars allowed people to

[1:14:22] stay on keep dancing or, you

[1:14:24] know, having some more

[1:14:26] entertainment potentially

[1:14:27] provide some options that

[1:14:30] didn't include alcohol service

[1:14:31] that that would stagger the

[1:14:33] number of people in the time

[1:14:34] since they're leaving and

[1:14:35] reduce some of the incidents

[1:14:37] of violence that we see. That

[1:14:38] was the safety reason. I think

[1:14:40] there are some other, you

[1:14:42] know, beneficial reasons far

[1:14:44] as far as you know, providing

[1:14:45] additional entertainment

[1:14:48] options and things like that

[1:14:50] that I contribute to you know,

[1:14:51] a thriving nightlife. But that

[1:14:54] does with the key safety

[1:14:54] reasons. So it was not a

[1:14:55] change to alcohol service was

[1:14:58] still in it, too. But then the

[1:15:00] difference would be doors

[1:15:01] closing on call service when

[1:15:03] ended exact same time. So

[1:15:05] create sort of a period where

[1:15:06] hopefully people would leave

[1:15:07] in waves instead of all at

[1:15:08] once per Are you basing off of

[1:15:09] other cities? Studies or where

[1:15:13] did that idea? Come from there

[1:15:15] isn't a lot of data around

[1:15:17] other cities that have tried

[1:15:19] this where they extend just

[1:15:20] the entertainment and not the

[1:15:22] drinking hours. There is some

[1:15:23] data, although that also is

[1:15:25] limited. But there is some

[1:15:27] data that around when you

[1:15:30] extend the drinking or looks

[1:15:31] cities that have, you know,

[1:15:35] extended hours of bars. That

[1:15:37] sometimes sometimes say there

[1:15:37] is data that they see

[1:15:38] increased violence. And then

[1:15:41] there's also data where they

[1:15:41] have seen, you know, a

[1:15:42] reduction in violence. So I

[1:15:44] think there is some

[1:15:45] conflicting data as well as

[1:15:47] some completing of the data as

[1:15:49] far as what we were proposing

[1:15:51] with this, which was not to

[1:15:53] extend any drinking hours but

[1:15:53] only extend the entertainment.

[1:15:56] So I think there is

[1:15:57] opportunity if we can identify

[1:16:01] the right locations, the right

[1:16:03] timing all of that where we

[1:16:04] can pilot and maybe someone,

[1:16:05] you know, I mean, just telling

[1:16:06] me that provide some of that

[1:16:06] data. But there's really not a

[1:16:08] lot out there on this

[1:16:10] particular the details that we

[1:16:12] were proposing. Okay. I mean,

[1:16:14] it does make comments on sense

[1:16:14] to me, but is better than

[1:16:16] common sense. We all know

[1:16:17] that. Do you all have

[1:16:19] resources, though, if you were

[1:16:20] to pilot this, how will you

[1:16:23] will you be able created a

[1:16:24] firm that our study that in a

[1:16:25] way that everyone can be

[1:16:26] confident feel like it's

[1:16:30] meaningful, not on a total.

[1:16:32] Yeah. I think that exploring

[1:16:34] the pilot will give us an

[1:16:36] opportunity to have some of

[1:16:37] the more those stakeholder

[1:16:38] conversations with residents

[1:16:39] as well as businesses around

[1:16:40] what a pilot could look like

[1:16:41] in a way that would work for

[1:16:43] them. One thing we didn't know

[1:16:44] what this was, which

[1:16:46] businesses would want to even

[1:16:47] opt into doing something like

[1:16:48] So this will give us an

[1:16:49] opportunity to craft a in a

[1:16:52] way that might we might see

[1:16:53] more people act, more

[1:16:56] businesses opt into it, but

[1:16:58] will partner closely with dpd

[1:17:00] the police department the

[1:17:02] adoption of a pilot. If that

[1:17:02] happens where we can track

[1:17:04] some of the safety data look

[1:17:05] at, you other pieces that

[1:17:08] would be helpful to him.

[1:17:09] Absent amendment. Would you

[1:17:10] routinely look into that data

[1:17:11] anyway to see how it's going

[1:17:13] if this was just passed, as

[1:17:13] Oh, absolutely, yes. Yeah. I

[1:17:17] mean, we were we would be

[1:17:19] committed to making sure that,

[1:17:20] you know, if there was any

[1:17:21] negative consequences of

[1:17:23] something like this going

[1:17:24] forward, that we would be

[1:17:25] tracking and monitoring. And

[1:17:26] if it it ended up not going

[1:17:27] the way we intended than we

[1:17:29] would have been making

[1:17:30] adjustments anyway, ok, thank

[1:17:31] This bill has been a ton of

[1:17:32] work. There's a lot of calls.

[1:17:34] And at that we haven't talked

[1:17:35] about I want to join everyone

[1:17:36] else and just appreciating

[1:17:37] that. Thank you so much. My

[1:17:40] thank you. MADAM PRESIDENT,

[1:17:42] thank you. And thank you.

[1:17:44] Council member Torres. I also

[1:17:46] am supportive of this

[1:17:47] amendment. I think it's a good

[1:17:47] compromise to be able to get

[1:17:48] to I think the conversation

[1:17:52] that we're having right MADAM

[1:17:52] Secretary Roll Call an

[1:17:53] Amendment 3 to council Bill 0,

[1:17:58] 9, to one. Council members of

[1:18:06] the dress. I high. Look at can

[1:18:10] do is get Harris. Hindsight

[1:18:15] passion notice. I parity. So

[1:18:18] where tourists I watched I

[1:18:22] PRESIDENT Or a mayor,

[1:18:22] Campbell, MADAM Secretary,

[1:18:23] close the voting and announce

[1:18:28] the results. 12 ayes 12 ayes

[1:18:41] amended. I move the council

[1:18:42] Bill. 0, 9, 2, 1, be placed

[1:18:43] upon final consideration to

[1:18:47] pass as amended. It has been

[1:18:48] moved and seconded comments by

[1:18:48] members of Council on Council

[1:18:50] Bill 0, 9, 2, 1, as amended

[1:18:55] it. Councilmember Luis, not in

[1:19:00] the queue. I'm sorry. We have

[1:19:02] on the script. My apologies.

[1:19:04] Councilmember Hines, thank

[1:19:06] you. MADAM PRESIDENT directed

[1:19:11] tuition our ask clarifying

[1:19:13] question about So I believe

[1:19:17] this in our conversations we

[1:19:19] had talked about the idea of

[1:19:23] optional hearings, a mandatory

[1:19:24] hearings. I think we came to a

[1:19:27] good spy in that. Leave that

[1:19:31] in rulemaking. I do. Want to

[1:19:32] just chat about how how we

[1:19:35] left the conversation. All

[1:19:35] right. Hopefully we're on the

[1:19:39] same page that conversation

[1:19:44] rulemaking will talk about the

[1:19:48] arrow key people consider the

[1:19:50] density of licenses and also

[1:19:51] the size of the venues of that

[1:19:54] whole those licenses. When

[1:19:56] considering whether a of a

[1:19:59] hearing it is optional or

[1:20:00] mandatory So I drive a call

[1:20:02] that correctly Yes, I think

[1:20:03] we'll have that discussion

[1:20:06] during ruling King as far as

[1:20:07] whether there should be a did,

[1:20:09] you know, criteria around

[1:20:10] density and or size of venue

[1:20:11] that would require mandatory

[1:20:12] hearing. Yeah, I think that

[1:20:16] the people who live downtown

[1:20:17] are they they love that they

[1:20:18] get to live near where all

[1:20:21] these other people have to

[1:20:23] travel, too. And joy, you

[1:20:25] know, and evening and then

[1:20:27] travel back away. But I would

[1:20:28] also just because of sheer

[1:20:31] density of venues, sometimes

[1:20:32] that creates additional

[1:20:36] conflict just as you know, if

[1:20:36] you have 20,000 people all

[1:20:37] getting out on the street at

[1:20:39] the same time, right at

[1:20:42] 02:00am. And don't want to go

[1:20:44] home but can stay where they

[1:20:44] You know, I just I think it

[1:20:47] really makes sense for us to

[1:20:53] not just have to opt into

[1:20:56] conversations really took Li

[1:20:57] downtown. Those conversations

[1:21:00] should be norm. Instead of

[1:21:02] exception. Thank you, MADAM

[1:21:05] PRESIDENT, thank Councilmember

[1:21:06] Thank you so much. Council

[1:21:09] PRESIDENT. I just wanted to

[1:21:10] say some words. I think

[1:21:13] there's been a lot of effort

[1:21:14] here. I think that we still

[1:21:16] have a lot of questions. And I

[1:21:17] know there's going to be the

[1:21:19] work group, which I appreciate

[1:21:20] don't feel comfortable at this

[1:21:23] time voting. Yes, because of

[1:21:23] the uncertainty and because of

[1:21:25] concerns I've heard from the

[1:21:27] businesses my district about

[1:21:29] the extra liability and what

[1:21:29] will reasonable effort look

[1:21:31] like? And so all no on this

[1:21:34] tonight. Thank you. Thank you.

[1:21:35] Councilmember Sawyer. Thank

[1:21:37] you. MADAM PRESIDENT just

[1:21:38] wanted to follow up a little

[1:21:40] bit on what Councilmember

[1:21:42] Hines said. Molly, as you

[1:21:45] know, this the piece about the

[1:21:48] removing mandatory hearings

[1:21:50] has been an issue of concern

[1:21:52] for my residents as well. I

[1:21:53] really appreciate that. You

[1:21:54] guys are going to address this

[1:21:58] in rules and I want to ask for

[1:21:59] you. I think just want to make

[1:22:00] sure that gets on the record

[1:22:08] is that you look at context of

[1:22:09] the location, right? Because,

[1:22:09] for example, when you are in

[1:22:11] the middle of Colfax, they're

[1:22:15] our single-family homes right

[1:22:17] behind rate. That's like the

[1:22:18] businesses along Colfax finale

[1:22:20] and single-family homes right

[1:22:22] behind And so I just what

[1:22:23] might be appropriate for

[1:22:25] downtown where we don't have

[1:22:25] any single family homes and we

[1:22:28] don't have children trying to

[1:22:30] sleep what is appropriate on

[1:22:31] Colfax are I think going to be

[1:22:32] different. And the reason why

[1:22:34] I care about this is and why

[1:22:36] my residents care about this

[1:22:39] is because if there's an

[1:22:40] automatic approval, if there's

[1:22:44] no required hearing or might,

[1:22:46] you know, volunteer residents

[1:22:50] have to request a hearing. It

[1:22:52] puts the onus on the victim

[1:22:54] rate to be aware of it to make

[1:22:54] the request that there be a

[1:22:55] hearing to gather all the

[1:22:56] signatures to do all the work,

[1:23:00] which is not fair to them. And

[1:23:02] that's part of the process

[1:23:03] that already exists and has

[1:23:05] already problematic. But I

[1:23:07] will just say kind of as we

[1:23:09] move forward with the idea

[1:23:13] having some automatic

[1:23:15] licensure without required

[1:23:17] that there be something in

[1:23:17] rules and regs that makes

[1:23:20] takes the kind of context into

[1:23:21] account because I think that

[1:23:24] it will be really important as

[1:23:28] we look at the impact some of

[1:23:29] businesses their distance just

[1:23:30] from where people literally

[1:23:30] trying to sleep, even if it's

[1:23:34] 02:00am, Thanks. Thank you.

[1:23:36] Councilmember Watson, thank

[1:23:37] you. Council PRESIDENT Over

[1:23:38] getting close to 5 o'clock

[1:23:40] slimming to be very quick. I

[1:23:42] want to say thank you so much,

[1:23:42] Molly. A team I I thank you

[1:23:45] during the amendment. I don't

[1:23:49] know folks fully understand

[1:23:49] crazy as h#

[1:23:49] #

[1:23:53] steps and

[1:23:56] processes. The multi lies

[1:23:56] ensures was I got was legal

[1:24:00] language I use there. The

[1:24:01] multiple licensors that you we

[1:24:05] have and 10's of licenses for

[1:24:10] the exact same process. The

[1:24:10] idea that your team survived

[1:24:13] through that and small

[1:24:14] businesses taught themselves

[1:24:16] how to walk through stuff.

[1:24:19] There's written in 1920, some

[1:24:21] even earlier. So I want to

[1:24:22] thank team for to due

[1:24:23] diligence or great work in

[1:24:25] really making this complex

[1:24:29] much more simple. I appreciate

[1:24:29] the amendment from my

[1:24:30] colleagues and I look forward

[1:24:33] to partnering with you the

[1:24:33] pilot any of the other

[1:24:36] work that you're doing. That

[1:24:38] impacts of 5 points on the our

[1:24:40] district and any of the on the

[1:24:40] entertainment district in my

[1:24:41] district. Thank you so much.

[1:24:42] Thank you. MADAM PRESIDENT,

[1:24:43] thank you. Councilmember Luis,

[1:24:46] thank you all. Keep it brief.

[1:24:48] I just wanted thank you all

[1:24:50] because and at the beginning

[1:24:51] of this conversation back in

[1:24:52] APRIL, I had a number of

[1:24:53] businesses reached out to me

[1:24:54] and had a sign-on letter. As

[1:24:58] you all know in opposition and

[1:25:00] you all work with him directly

[1:25:01] and got into a place of

[1:25:02] support. And I just wanted to

[1:25:03] thank you all for working with

[1:25:04] our businesses to bring them

[1:25:06] to a space where they felt

[1:25:07] like this is going to help

[1:25:10] them and not hurt them. So

[1:25:14] thank you for your work thank

[1:25:16] you. I in support of this

[1:25:16] tonight. Appreciate the work

[1:25:20] that you've done on And also

[1:25:23] we delayed this to be able

[1:25:25] provide an opportunity for me

[1:25:27] to well for be had. And it

[1:25:27] provided opportunity that I

[1:25:30] was able to communicate again

[1:25:32] with residents in and in the

[1:25:34] district. I think that there

[1:25:35] are some really key things in

[1:25:36] here about prohibiting

[1:25:38] weapons, keeping records to

[1:25:40] conduct a safety

[1:25:42] investigations and also

[1:25:44] protecting workers. Privacy,

[1:25:45] ensuring businesses haven't
