Um with those abstensions, 72 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,520 uh all in favor, please indicate I. >> I. 73 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:29,919 » I. >> Any opposed? Okay, it's approved. Um I 74 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:34,880 did note one thing that I'll uh mention here on item H and I. There were some 75 00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:42,560 publication dates that were revised or corrected uh to be September 10th and 76 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:46,639 17th. Um, and I wanted to point out that the passenger counts at the airport have 77 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:52,080 had really impressive gains year-over-year. Um, going back several 78 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:58,880 years, but in particular the last two years, uh, gains of about 8 and, uh, 7%. 79 00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:07,599 So, um, from 24 to 20 25 uh, the years that 80 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:14,720 are completed, um, really good. And so, um, love to see those positive trends 81 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:20,720 in, uh, activity in and out of Aberdine. All right, we have no old business, but 82 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:25,360 we do have 11 items of new. And our first one is an annual thing and very 83 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,199 important thing. The public hearing and possible first reading of ordinance 84 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:35,599 260901. This is the 2027 appropriations 85 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:39,360 ordinance. and we'll give some time to our city man after McNeil. 86 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:43,840 » Yeah, thank you. So, as we began our work back in last December, uh, looking 87 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:49,360 at our budget and doing our preparations for our 2027 budget, it's our honor to 88 00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:53,360 be able to bring forward this opportunity and agenda item for a public 89 00:07:51,360 --> 00:08:00,160 hearing and possible first reading of the ordinance 260901 90 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:03,840 uh to appropriate and allow us um to be able to uh provide for the funding of 91 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:10,080 projects and services in the calendar year of 2027 as recommended and provided 92 00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:15,440 by me and my city uh budget proposal which was um submitted on August 3rd. 93 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,039 So, in essence, a lot of work uh went into the budget and I thank staff and 94 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,599 and our finance department and all that were involved in this. And this is an 95 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:28,479 opportunity to to hear any public input or comment in this public hearing and 96 00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:33,120 and further explain or or be able to articulate anything that anybody would 97 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:38,560 have a question relative to our budget. I would like to state that I've received 98 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:43,360 input from council staff and uh in the September 21st meeting, I will be 99 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:48,160 announcing the promotional fund requests uh and the funding that will be 100 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:51,920 allocated for that. And uh there is also a consideration on one quick 101 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,040 modification that Jordan and I identified. I'll let Jordan explain that 102 00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:58,959 and then we would also like to demonstrate to the public where our 103 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,160 budget exists on our city website. So we'll put that up on our monitor so 104 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:06,080 people can see that as well. So Jordan, if you don't mind, you want to talk 105 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:12,000 about our one small change here? >> Thank you, Dave. Um, through the course 106 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:15,600 of budget uh formulation, we uh have a lot of moving parts and we have 107 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:20,320 identified a few things that we needed to tweak from what was distributed to 108 00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:25,040 the public on Friday in our city council budget packet and on our website. And 109 00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:30,880 they are described um I guess I'll just kind of describe what what those were. 110 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:38,240 So the first um we have a a modification to our health and welfare allocation uh 111 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:41,760 reduction of 120,000 but there will be a corresponding increase to our economic 112 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:47,440 development contributions by that like amount. Um so the net effect to that is 113 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:52,560 zero. It was simply categorized within the wrong section. Additionally, we have 114 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:57,839 consolidated our business uh our downtown bid district into our general 115 00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:01,760 fund, thereby eliminating a fund. Um in doing so, I failed to include that 116 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:07,519 activity within the general fund. So, it's simply squishing two funds into 117 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:11,519 one. So, what was once two, it's now one leads to simpler um easier financial 118 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,760 reporting. You just have to remember to uh combine those actually when you 119 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:20,959 report it. So, those are the two modifications that I have made. um since 120 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:25,120 the budget was distributed to the public. Would you like me to go on 121 00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:28,640 further to demonstrate? Okay. Sure. So, what I'm sharing on the screen with uh 122 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,800 the public and and those in our audience today, this is our budget or uh 123 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:38,480 ordinance. This is the statutoily described um budget that we have to 124 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:42,000 present it in. Of course, this isn't what you guys look at to understand 125 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:46,240 what's going on. This is dense. There's there's very small text, but this says 126 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:50,160 what it says and does what we need it to do. Um, what I'll try to what I'll 127 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:56,000 attempt to do here is switch over to the budget documents that actually make more 128 00:10:51,920 --> 00:11:00,000 sense. Um, what you should see shortly here is the budget book that is 129 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:04,399 available on our city website. This document can be obtained by going 130 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:10,000 to our finance office page, clicking on our city budget, and it's available here 131 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:14,160 as a download as a PDF. Um, this is kind of a new page, the city budget page that 132 00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:19,120 describes what the budget is, where it exists, and it provides past examples as 133 00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:22,880 well. They're linked elsewhere. Um, but this is just another place for the 134 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:27,920 public to find that document. New for this year, um, we've implemented uh an 135 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:32,640 open gov online budget and that's available by clicking on this link 136 00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:38,320 within the budget website, but also um, well, that is the home. So, this is what 137 00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:44,399 that looks like. Uh this is a table of contents that lists every departmental 138 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:49,279 um submitter. All the exhibits that are within the printed budget book are 139 00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:55,760 available here. Um and as we implement further, we'll add more. This online 140 00:11:52,480 --> 00:12:00,560 website is is um basically exclusive to our general fund 141 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:04,480 supported activities for now. Um it will have all the exhibits that are shared 142 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:09,760 within our budget book, but it's all here. So, for example, we can click into 143 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:14,240 a department such as the finance office. There's a nice narrative that 144 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:18,720 accompanies it. Um, some charts that illustrate the activity and then some 145 00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:23,200 performance indicators that we've included as well. I'll click back into 146 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:27,519 some exhibits here. These are the same exhibits that you'll see in um the 147 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:31,519 printed form that you may have seen over the years where it's going to break out 148 00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:35,680 your general activities. it'll put that same data in the graphs and charts that 149 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,959 you might have grown accustomed to. Um, of course, we've got our budget 150 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:43,279 ordinance as well, the one that I shared with you. Um, the thing that I enjoy is 151 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:47,279 that it's much easier to push a modification out rather than printing 152 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:51,120 and rebinding book after book. Uh, that's very very labor and resource 153 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:55,200 intensive. So, not that we intend to make rapid and frequent adjustments, 154 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:59,839 it's just a much more modern and, uh, simplified version to communicate such a 155 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:04,959 complex thing. So I certainly appreciate that aspect of of what open gov has 156 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:10,000 provided us in this budget. So again um our budget proposals here um we have a a 157 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:14,240 general fund summary as I described. It's basically exclusive to the general 158 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:18,880 fund at this point. All the departments are accessible here. Um and again that 159 00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:24,160 budget ordinance this is on our city budget website. Uh very clickable very 160 00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:28,480 accessible that way and we will add more as we build this out further. We 161 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:34,720 essentially got the keys to this in late July. Um, it's been a labor of love to 162 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:38,480 build it out. Um, very labor intensive the first time, but it will get easier 163 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:42,399 as we move forward. U, this is something we've used to budget for personnel 164 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:46,079 services. We've used it to do operating budget. It all exists within this place. 165 00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:52,160 So, it's nice to be able to use the same platform to tell the story in our 166 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:58,160 budget. Um so again um if you access our city finance web page, the city budget 167 00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:02,560 website and the proposal and the um budget both exist within that that 168 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:09,279 domain. And that um wraps up a summary of the 169 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:12,959 budget. Um again, that ordinance is what I'm asking for approval tonight. I 170 00:14:11,199 --> 00:14:16,560 presented and distributed those changes and staff recommends approval as the 171 00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:20,800 budget wi of the budget ordinance as presented. 172 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:26,320 » Because this is a public hearing item, I'll take a moment and inquire if anyone 173 00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:31,399 present wishes to provide any input or has questions about this ordinance 174 00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:40,000 hearing. None. Um are there any questions from the council? 175 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,680 Thoughts? Input? >> Mr. Deputy Mayor, 176 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,959 » please. >> I just want to thank Jordan and his team 177 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:52,399 for this transparent website. I think it's uh a great model for transparency 178 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,839 in government and I I'm sure it was a labor of love. So, thank you for your 179 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,680 work um and your continued work to make sure it's accurate. The only question I 180 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:05,040 have in the whole budget, >> I've read everywhere, just kidding, is 181 00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:07,279 uh why is Meals on Wheels going down by $5,000? 182 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:16,320 » Meals on Wheels? >> Yeah. Um I think it was uh basically 183 00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:23,399 less um less clients um that they were going to be servicing to. So yeah, 184 00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:23,399 » I believe that's the case. 185 00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:30,000 » Any other council members have questions? 186 00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:34,320 Yes. >> I also just wanted to say thank you 187 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:39,040 Jordan for the the website. I think that's a a great piece for the public to 188 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:43,360 be able to go in and understand and look through things. So, uh yeah, thank you 189 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:47,760 for everyone for putting that together. That's a really great thing. 190 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:52,720 » Yeah, I would reinforce that saying that it's presented in a very clean, simple, 191 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,240 and accessible way. So, well done, >> Mr. Deputy Mayor. 192 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,360 » Uhuh. Please. >> One more question. I think it'd be 193 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:01,759 helpful and um you might have done this a month ago already, Dave, but just to 194 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:05,839 go through and since this is your first budget as city manager, talk a little 195 00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:08,480 bit about how you approached it so folks understand how collaborative your 196 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,720 approach was. >> Yeah, thanks for the opportunity. So 197 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,519 upon taking the position, uh I thought it was real important to start meeting 198 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,600 with department heads to kind of determine where we were at last year on 199 00:16:17,199 --> 00:16:22,959 our budget and how that how we were performing and then how we were going to 200 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,399 look at uh you know the budget as we were going to build it for the next 201 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,959 year. So meeting with department heads and asking for their input early on, I 202 00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:34,160 started to get a pretty good idea of where people were sitting, their 203 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:38,399 opportunities and their challenges. At the same time, I started to interview uh 204 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:42,880 all department all city staff to understand uh their position and what 205 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:47,440 they thought their department did and uh specifically any opportunities the 206 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:51,759 budget could present for us. And then I started to work at uh you know looking 207 00:16:49,839 --> 00:16:57,199 at individual departments and their line items uh going through line by line on 208 00:16:55,519 --> 00:17:01,600 you know the different things that we've seen our actual expenditures 209 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:06,640 year-over-year and trying to assess where we where we're at and and if we're 210 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,640 over budgeted and underbudgeted and then uh looking at where we're standing this 211 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:14,480 year and to see where we're actually at at about mid year. So kind of the 212 00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:17,839 information that we've had year-over-year really helped me 213 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:22,000 understand where we should be in the future. And then looking at it 214 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:26,559 specifically at line item by line item and we identified opportunities where 215 00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:30,960 maybe we could um retract our budget a little bit or maybe areas that we need 216 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:35,760 to expand. And then um that was very impactful. And then the capital 217 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:41,440 improvement um plan was a significant you know um work and work in process and 218 00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:45,679 and bringing our new engineer on board having a fresh perspective made a big 219 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,520 difference for us. So um and I'll talk about that next in our next um 220 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:53,280 opportunity or capital improvement budget ordinance. But I think early on 221 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:57,600 it was communication just seeing how we were performing managing the 222 00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,720 expectations and and basically asking department heads how we could do better 223 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:05,120 and kind of challenging ourselves. You know, if you look at some line items in 224 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:08,160 there, we did spend a little bit more on some things that we can justify, but 225 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,240 there are some line items that we could see uh that there were opportunities to 226 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:17,760 retract a little bit and try to hold the line and do do better in the future. So, 227 00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:22,160 it's uh definitely a complex thing, but early on just work understanding what 228 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,960 that budget's doing and how it's working for the city and and how we're providing 229 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:33,200 services and operations was time well spent. So, and as we speak now, um, and 230 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:37,039 as this becomes a final project pro product here in the next month or two, 231 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:42,160 we'll already be starting on the next year's budget or 2028 budget as well. 232 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:46,160 So, but the input is invaluable and just having experienced finance staff and 233 00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:50,160 department heads to help me guide that. Um, there are definitely opportunities 234 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:53,600 and you know, when you when you build a budget, you want to do the best you can. 235 00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:57,840 Ideally, you want to see that that line item was fully executed and and well 236 00:18:55,679 --> 00:19:00,640 spent, but at the end of the year, we don't like supplements. We don't like to 237 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:05,520 supplement things or come back and be able to say, "Hey, um you know, we had 238 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:08,960 things that uh we over spent." Sometimes in in public safety and emergency 239 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:13,039 response, we can't plan for all emergencies. Uh that's a component to a 240 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:18,400 budget, but sometimes they're fixed budgets uh that we really want to hold 241 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:21,840 the line on. and uh you know said staff and working with Jordan and and the 242 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,679 department heads has been invaluable. So it's been a great experience. I've 243 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:30,400 learned a lot and uh we we tried to hold the line in a lot of things. Um meeting 244 00:19:27,679 --> 00:19:35,280 with some council we understand that you know e the economic piece of this you 245 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:40,000 know uh as we saw sales tax increase. We also understand that that kind of es and 246 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:43,280 flows while we're experiencing a growth in sales tax that may not be here 247 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:47,840 forever. And we also understand the economic factors that go into things 248 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:51,440 like fuel, materials and supplies and inflationary things. So we tried to 249 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:56,080 build something that was responsible and not grow too fast. But u and it gave me 250 00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:01,120 a good perspective. So yeah, thank you for the question. 251 00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:06,480 » Perfect. Uh good overview. All right. Uh I will close uh the public hearing and 252 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:11,760 ask for first reading. Jordan, would you please 253 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:15,039 » Oh, I'm sorry. skipping the um I need a motion and a second for this. Thank you. 254 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:20,160 » Second. >> All right, we have a motion from Nilson, 255 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:24,320 a second from Eonger. Um Jordan, now please. 256 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,679 » Council member Ronain. >> I Fberg 257 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:26,640 » I >> Lee Beltel 258 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,520 » I >> Ward 259 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,799 » I >> E Conger 260 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,679 » I >> Nelson 261 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,799 » I >> Norm 262 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,200 » I. >> Deputy Mayor Johnson 263 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:40,480 » I motion carries without any dissent. Our next item is to open a public 264 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:49,440 hearing and have possible first reading and final adoption of resolution 260901R 265 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:53,760 uh which is the 2027 through 2031 capital improvement plan. Again Dave. 266 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:58,559 » Yeah, thank you. So, as I just spoke, uh the other major component of our budget 267 00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:02,960 is a capital improvement plan. And this, uh, involves significant investment in 268 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,320 our community. And year-over-year, we see the the things that it does for our 269 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:10,320 community. An example this year is the construction of, you know, our North 270 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:14,000 Dakota street road and that project and the uh water transmission line and our 271 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,640 water tower. So, there are a lot of things that go into the capital 272 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:21,120 improvement plan and again, a lot of work with department heads on this. Um, 273 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,960 if anybody has any questions, there are a lot of different places people can see 274 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:28,880 this. Uh, it's for available for public viewing at city hall and we have that 275 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:34,400 online as we demonstrated here. I'd like you to turn to page 44 that's on our our 276 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:38,559 resolution and I just want to kind of talk about the allocated amounts and one 277 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:42,320 area that I want to draw attention to. So, if you look at the public works 278 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:47,520 capital improvement plan and the the amount that we're designated for 2027, 279 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:51,039 there's some variables here and uh you know, again, bringing on a new city 280 00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:54,320 engineer presents opportunities. We're at a place where we're assessing things 281 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,600 and evaluating where we're at. We're looking at inventory. We know we're 282 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,679 going to do an interior drainage study to try to determine how we can further 283 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:05,679 improve our our our drainage in our community and reertify the levy. Um 284 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,919 we're going to do a sewer line study that's going to be very impactful. Um, 285 00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:12,880 we also have a major road construction project, but it's not ours. Typically, 286 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,960 year-over-year we'll do a road construction and then we'll take the 287 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:21,120 next year we'll we'll do chip ceiling and the routine things, but we don't 288 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:24,159 typically build a new road every year. There's one variable I want to talk to 289 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,360 you about. Recently, uh, we had a meeting with the DOT, the Department of 290 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:31,440 Transportation, and the Sixth Avenue bridge project. We met with the state 291 00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:35,280 engineers and the engineering director and we talked about the continuation of 292 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:39,840 trying to develop a bridge that would fulfill opportunities for pedestrian 293 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,120 crossings and making that bridge safer and and more aesthetically pleasing. So 294 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:51,520 late in the game there could be an opportunity that um that bridge project 295 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:55,919 may be um delayed one year if we can agree that there could be some design uh 296 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,280 that that could be improved for pedestrian crossings. Um, so that's 297 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:05,520 still in play. The contracts haven't been let on the bridge, but our our 11th 298 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:09,520 hour meeting with the DOT, there is an opportunity to maybe have something that 299 00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:14,400 could be a better pedestrian crossing. I'm not promising anything. Uh, but at 300 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:20,880 the same time, uh, this we have some flexibility in our public works budget. 301 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:24,720 So, if we don't build a bridge next year with the DOT on 6th Avenue, there might 302 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:28,880 be some things that Leaf and I and and the public works staff can designate as 303 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:33,840 improvements to our roads that would amplify or supplement ultimately when 304 00:23:31,679 --> 00:23:37,600 that that bridge is is closed and worked on on 6th Avenue. Leaf, I want to kick 305 00:23:35,679 --> 00:23:41,200 this over to you because you played a major role. You came in, I gave him 306 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:46,240 about two frantic weeks to kind of look at the public works. This is a big 307 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:49,280 portion of the CIP. Obviously, uh, roads are a major investment as all the things 308 00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:51,919 on this, but I want to give him an opportunity to kind of talk about his 309 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:56,960 thought process on where we may go with this if things go certain ways. 310 00:23:54,559 --> 00:24:01,360 » Yeah. When it comes to the the CIP itself, you know, it was a little bit of 311 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:04,960 a trial by fire as as Dave mentioned, there's a there's a lot of aspects to it 312 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:10,960 and being good stewards of the public dollars. You know, we have different um 313 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,960 technology and information with our pavement condition index software to to 314 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:19,600 look at what roads called for it. And then we also look at, you know, traffic 315 00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:22,720 counts. And then we also compare to what projects are needed. Is there sewer 316 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:27,440 related to this project? Is there water? You know, we don't want to do anything 317 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:32,480 twice. And and do good planning and and good thinking as far as what needs to be 318 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:36,880 done. And with that being said, you know, we carried over some of the things 319 00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:41,919 that were from the previous department heads and with also the intention that 320 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:45,919 we'll take a closer look in 2027 in the planning process and and making sure 321 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,440 we're all on the same page whether it's with the different department heads with 322 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:55,200 this the different public inputs and with Dave's direction and in in looking 323 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:59,120 at our planning when it comes to you know we have a sewer collection study in 324 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,559 the works. We have an interior drainage study in the works and there might be 325 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:06,400 some improvements that are really pinpointed with those studies and that's 326 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:11,760 the goal of those is to is to look at what needs to be done in the future and 327 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:16,640 to better prepare for it and be reactive instead of proactive and that's that's 328 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:20,400 part of our goal and our staff and our department is looking at when we looked 329 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,480 at this and like Dave mentioned there might be with that Sixth Avenue bridge 330 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,640 there's certain aspects with that you know we made some efforts this year the 331 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:32,960 staff did and public works to make improvements to potential, you know, 332 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:38,240 local traffic detours that we expect to see on our our third or 10th Avenue in 333 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:41,760 Goodrich and and certain uh roads that we'll most people will drive on. 334 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,200 Planning for that at the same time, you know, if that when that project happens, 335 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,880 you know, when we have less traffic on 6th Avenue near the bridge, is there 336 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:52,799 storm water improvements we can make and and planning those aspects out? And 337 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:58,120 that's that's been kind of my thought process when it comes to the to the CIP 338 00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,120 itself. 339 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:03,600 Thank you, Leaf.

Motion carries. Uh item E is possible approval of public participation 391 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:18,480 procedures for the data center public infant meeting. Um this is an exciting 392 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:24,320 day. Um we're setting aside a special meeting next Monday night at 5:30 p.m. 393 00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:29,919 at the AV Aberdine uh Civic Theater and that's located half a block uh to the 394 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:36,000 east of where city hall is located where we are tonight. And um I want to make 395 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:43,600 just a brief introduction to that meeting and some of the uh guidelines 396 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:51,840 that uh we will be considering and possibly approving as a group tonight. 397 00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:57,919 So um we have published a timeline uh for the public process um and for the 398 00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:04,240 council to work through. Uh keep in mind that presently there is a moratorum that 399 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:10,799 exists on data centers in city limits and that will sunset on November 18th 400 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:16,880 and between now and then we will have uh this third meeting Monday night and we 401 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:22,799 invite citizens um people even from out of town are welcome. There will be a 402 00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:30,720 registration process uh there inside uh the theater for anyone who wishes to 403 00:30:25,679 --> 00:30:37,440 give um um oral pre um uh thoughts, inputs, um any sort of uh 404 00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:43,279 recommendations, um wishes, things like that. Uh this will not be a time for 405 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:48,799 debate um or crossfire. It's not that sort of event. It's for the city council 406 00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:57,520 to listen. And so uh we welcome people with thoughts. Um similar to our open 407 00:30:52,640 --> 00:31:02,240 forum uh which we uh allow input at the start of each regular meeting. Um the 408 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:08,880 base period of time will be three minutes uh for each speaker. Uh there 409 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:15,600 are a couple of exceptions where uh we'll explain that and um where a 410 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:22,399 presentation could go for uh beyond 3 minutes. But this is uh these procedures 411 00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:28,640 are to govern um public participation um and they'll be administered without 412 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:33,120 regard to a speaker's position uh either for against or any viewpoint. Um again 413 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:38,240 that registration will occur in the lobby area. Registration will be taken 414 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:43,760 until 6 pm. [clears throat] So that will be 30 minutes into the meeting which 415 00:31:40,159 --> 00:31:48,880 begins at 5:30. And uh speakers will be recognized in the order that they 416 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:53,039 register and each person will have one opportunity to speak until all 417 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,960 registered speakers have their opportunity to be heard. Um 418 00:31:55,897 --> 00:32:03,919 [clears throat] we'll have a podium with the microphone in the theater and um 419 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:08,720 we'll ask people who are registered um you'll be able to see on a screen the 420 00:32:05,679 --> 00:32:17,799 order of registration and we'll have a a line or a queue for those who are on 421 00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:17,799 deck uh people who will present next. Um 422 00:32:18,399 --> 00:32:27,200 just looking for any other highlights here to keep it brief. Um 423 00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:31,519 there will be opportunities outside of this meeting of course for written 424 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:39,120 comments and materials if a person wants to be heard but um doesn't isn't able to 425 00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:44,720 attend. Um those comments and supporting information can be si submitted to city 426 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:49,279 staff or directly to a city councilman. Um either way for distribution to the 427 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:56,559 council regardless of whether someone wants to speak at the meeting. and um 428 00:32:52,880 --> 00:33:00,320 those email or written comments uh and supporting materials will not be read 429 00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:07,919 aloud during the meeting. Just to be aware of that. Um again, uh the purpose 430 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:14,240 of this September 14th meeting is not to um adopt an ordinance. Uh we have a 431 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:19,200 variety of other steps that will occur. Um, two weeks after that, for example, 432 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:24,240 the staff will present a draft of a proposed data set or ordinance. The 433 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:30,320 following week, the council will discuss revisions and uh perhaps a proposed 434 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:36,720 zoning ordinance. Um, public hearings will again be heard uh later in October. 435 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:43,519 Um the plan is to have uh a public hearing on the 20th of October, the 26th 436 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:50,159 of October, and then potentially November 2nd, a second reading of a data 437 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:56,640 center ordinance. So with that um long view, um we do want people to understand 438 00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:00,640 um the nature of Monday's meeting. It is a listening session. We look forward to 439 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:06,720 it and we'll go as long as we need to with those parameters uh for speaking 440 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:12,960 time and engagements. Um are there any questions from the council about uh what 441 00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:17,399 we're reviewing here? What is proposed for the guard rails for that meeting? 442 00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:23,119 Ron, is there anything further that you want to address? 443 00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:27,760 » Yes, Deputy Mayor. Thank you. I have on the screen a couple of relatively minor 444 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:32,879 amendments that I'd like to uh to make to the proposed meeting procedures and 445 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:38,000 then at the conclusion of those I would ask that the council u formally approved 446 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:43,919 these for purposes of the upcoming special meeting. But on page two at 447 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:49,280 paragraph six there was a typographical error and 448 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:54,720 rule seven needs to be changed to rule eight. Um, and that's uh dealing with 449 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:59,280 the yielding of time and and allowing for spokespersons. So, I just wanted to 450 00:34:56,879 --> 00:35:04,079 make that change. That was a typo. And then paragraph 10, u there have been 451 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:10,359 some changes to the language to better track uh our handbook uh 452 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:21,359 requirements slash suggestions about um how we handle uh public comment. And so 453 00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:27,200 we've just uh made these changes to paragraph 10 to be more consistent with 454 00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:33,119 our handbook. I don't want to be uh using language that's not that we're not 455 00:35:29,119 --> 00:35:36,720 already used to. So I did ask and um uh Jordan has no problem with that, but 456 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:41,119 we'll put I'm proposing that we make these changes that you see redlinined on 457 00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:46,720 on paragraph 10, but other than that, I would have no other changes. Um but 458 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:51,440 would ask that the council um amend the uh procedures consistent with these red 459 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:55,599 lines and then unless there's any other amendments approve that as with these 460 00:35:53,760 --> 00:36:02,079 changes. >> All right. I'll entertain a motion to um 461 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:06,480 u approve uh these participation procedures as 462 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,839 amended by our city attorney. >> So moved. 463 00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:15,440 » Second. >> Okay. Uh, we have a motion from EConger 464 00:36:12,079 --> 00:36:18,440 and a second by No. Um, 465 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:24,680 okay. Any other comments before we take that vote? 466 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:31,839 All right. Um, [clears throat] we can do that with just with a quick 467 00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:33,839 vote. Uh, all in favor, please indicate by saying I. 468 00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:38,079 » I. I. >> Any oppose? Nay. 469 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:44,000 » Thank you. It passes unanimously. So again, uh just in some um this will be a 470 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:49,920 fair and orderly and efficient uh way to get participation. It's your opportunity 471 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:53,440 to be heard. Um and uh city staff will be present. City council will be 472 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:58,480 present. All the city leadership uh wants to hear your ideas and input and 473 00:36:56,240 --> 00:37:04,160 um we're holding it there to accommodate what we expect is a large number of 474 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:10,079 attendees. So we look forward to Monday. All right.

Alif introduce this please. 493 00:38:11,359 --> 00:38:17,760 Yes, this pay request number 11 is for schedule A like you mentioned DOMI 494 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:21,920 construction for work on the transmission line that feeds the new 495 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:25,760 water tower includes concrete street surfacing, sidewalk, curbon gutter, 496 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:29,359 asphalt street surfacing, base course and transmission line pipe and their 497 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,880 pertinances. This work also includes the transmission 498 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:36,160 line levy crossing which was added by change order number one.

Two of them that uh presently in the building require 592 00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:08,960 disassembly of one of the front brush units as I understand.
