266
00:14:03,963 --> 00:14:04,999
funds for respite service,

267
00:14:04,999 --> 00:14:07,399
education, and resources for

271
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:15,172
It is estimated that one to

272
00:14:15,172 --> 00:14:18,172
four family members act as

273
00:14:19,511 --> 00:14:20,677
caregivers for each individual

274
00:14:20,677 --> 00:14:22,677
with alzheimer's disease.

275
00:14:23,681 --> 00:14:24,715
It is progressive, degenerative

276
00:14:24,715 --> 00:14:27,115
disorder that attacks the

277
00:14:29,654 --> 00:14:32,540

278
00:14:34,491 --> 00:14:35,692
in loss of memory, thinking,

279
00:14:35,692 --> 00:14:35,990

have alzheimer's disease.

283
00:14:42,768 --> 00:14:44,935
A study says that as baby

00:14:52,510 --> 00:14:53,512
triple by 2050.

287
00:14:53,512 --> 00:14:54,209
The walk generates

288
00:14:54,209 --> 00:14:56,209
approximately $10,000 annual,

289
00:14:56,446 --> 00:14:59,581

00:24:01,990 --> 00:24:04,158
city's project manager for

00:24:04,158 --> 00:24:07,758

419
00:24:09,197 --> 00:24:09,800
effort to create a new 20 year

00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,532
comprehensive plan to guide

00:24:10,532 --> 00:24:10,965

422
00:24:10,965 --> 00:24:12,965
for the city.

423
00:24:14,537 --> 00:24:15,203
Today I wanted to make a few

424
00:24:15,203 --> 00:24:16,703

425
00:24:16,703 --> 00:24:19,410

In June, we held workshops to

432
00:24:29,585 --> 00:24:31,589

433
00:24:31,589 --> 00:24:33,185
a vision for corpus christi and

434
00:24:33,185 --> 00:24:34,853

435
00:24:34,853 --> 00:24:37,253

I saw the lin dell recreation

517
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,418
chad and lillian, I was there

518
00:27:31,418 --> 00:27:31,857
last week and there was a leak

519
00:27:31,857 --> 00:27:33,391
in the roof.

00:27:33,391 --> 00:27:34,387
We might get that done before-

521
00:27:34,387 --> 00:27:34,592

522
00:27:34,592 --> 00:27:36,592
it.

523
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,927
>> the other information I

00:27:38,927 --> 00:27:41,395
wanted to provide is just that u

00:27:41,395 --> 00:27:41,630
we are working on our draft

526
00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:43,630
plan.

527
00:27:43,764 --> 00:27:45,700
We are putting together the

528
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:46,403
chapters of the draft plan an

529
00:27:46,403 --> 00:27:48,671
information from the public

530
00:27:48,671 --> 00:27:50,169
meetings will be used to help

531
00:27:50,169 --> 00:27:53,169
continue work on our plan.

532
00:27:54,376 --> 00:27:56,412
And we do have a working group

533
00:27:56,412 --> 00:27:57,981
and a committee who will be

534
00:27:57,981 --> 00:28:00,145
reviewing the draft plan before

535
00:28:00,145 --> 00:28:01,648
we open it, we have a city wide

536
00:28:01,648 --> 00:28:05,248
forum, we present the plan and

537
00:28:07,957 --> 00:28:09,521
the city wide forum will start

538
00:28:09,521 --> 00:28:12,194
a public review period before

539
00:28:12,194 --> 00:28:13,392
we take the plan to public

540
00:28:13,392 --> 00:28:15,563
hearing, which the public

541
00:28:15,563 --> 00:28:16,129
hearing, we are anticipating

542
00:28:16,129 --> 00:28:18,529
for April and May.

543
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,165
So that is where we are today

544
00:28:19,165 --> 00:28:21,165
with the plan.

545
00:28:21,734 --> 00:28:25,334
And we hope that you will

546
00:28:25,339 --> 00:28:26,304
encourage people to attend our

547
00:28:26,304 --> 00:28:26,671
November 10th through 13th

548
00:28:26,671 --> 00:28:27,505
open houses.

549
00:28:27,505 --> 00:28:30,213
Again, there are fliers in the

550
00:28:30,213 --> 00:28:31,575
back of the room as well.

551
00:28:31,575 --> 00:28:33,575
>> okay, thank you.

552
00:28:34,479 --> 00:28:37,470
But for those watching on

553
00:28:37,470 --> 00:28:38,249
television, for the public's

554
00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:39,885
benefit, on your first slide,

555
00:28:39,885 --> 00:28:41,721
and I know you are referring

556
00:28:41,721 --> 00:28:43,190
that maybe they can kind of

557
00:28:43,190 --> 00:28:45,223
look at it and get a sense of

558
00:28:45,223 --> 00:28:48,823
where to find it, because I

559
00:28:51,628 --> 00:28:53,297
know it is tiny print.

560
00:28:53,297 --> 00:28:57,497
Can you indulge me and read the

561
00:29:00,873 --> 00:29:01,974
personal statement so people

562
00:29:01,974 --> 00:29:04,974
know what this is for.

563
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:06,409
>> sure, on the back of the

564
00:29:06,409 --> 00:29:08,809
vision and principles document,

565
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,980
there is a box where we have

566
00:29:11,980 --> 00:29:13,952
kind of a snip it of the

567
00:29:13,952 --> 00:29:16,352
statements that we have

568
00:29:19,489 --> 00:29:19,722
received at the public forum in

569
00:29:19,722 --> 00:29:21,722
June.

570
00:29:21,791 --> 00:29:25,391
And what this does is, the

571
00:29:26,228 --> 00:29:27,362
vision here is a healthy,

572
00:29:27,362 --> 00:29:28,864
thriving, well educated

573
00:29:28,864 --> 00:29:30,432
community that attracts people

574
00:29:30,432 --> 00:29:31,434
from all over the world.

575
00:29:31,434 --> 00:29:34,434
The health aspect, let's start

577
00:29:35,636 --> 00:29:37,636
of job opportunities.

578
00:29:39,808 --> 00:29:41,174
We are a city that values

00:29:41,174 --> 00:29:41,543

580
00:29:41,543 --> 00:29:43,543

581
00:29:46,416 --> 00:29:48,184
A city that embraces the

582
00:29:48,184 --> 00:29:50,450

583
00:29:50,450 --> 00:29:52,954
downtown with mixed land uses.

584
00:29:52,954 --> 00:29:55,457
And a city that cares for the

585
00:29:55,457 --> 00:29:57,556
most vulnerable and where the

586
00:29:57,556 --> 00:29:59,956
ideas of charity, community,

587
00:30:03,263 --> 00:30:03,496
and citizenship are alive and

588
00:30:03,496 --> 00:30:05,496
well.

589
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:08,404
The hot spot of the texas I

592
00:30:10,771 --> 00:30:12,707
It is a city where places and

593
00:30:12,707 --> 00:30:14,539
people are connected.

594
00:30:14,539 --> 00:30:16,546

595
00:30:16,546 --> 00:30:16,975
received to date, the input

596

00:30:18,513 --> 00:30:21,513
>> yes, those are the quotes

598
00:30:24,852 --> 00:30:27,852
from some of the personal

599
00:30:28,385 --> 00:30:28,623

600
00:30:28,623 --> 00:30:30,623

I appreciate your report.

603
00:30:32,726 --> 00:30:34,726
Ms. Mcintyre.

604
00:30:35,927 --> 00:30:36,528
>> Ms. Gunning, I really

605
00:30:36,528 --> 00:30:38,196
appreciate your setting the

606
00:30:38,196 --> 00:30:39,497
district een together on

607
00:30:39,497 --> 00:30:41,897
different evening instead of

608
00:30:42,368 --> 00:30:45,368
the same evening this time.

609
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:46,575
I think it will be better for

610
00:30:46,575 --> 00:30:48,370
people.

611
00:30:48,370 --> 00:30:50,370
So thank you.

00:30:50,307 --> 00:30:50,640

613
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,640
Mr. Magill.

614
00:30:54,110 --> 00:30:54,580
>> thank you, can we go back to

615
00:30:54,580 --> 00:30:56,946
slide three real quick?

616
00:30:56,946 --> 00:30:58,983
Is there a way to, I know it is

617
00:30:58,983 --> 00:31:00,882
maybe a little late, but is

618
00:31:00,882 --> 00:31:02,200
there a way to actually have an

619
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,421
open house in district three?

620
00:31:03,421 --> 00:31:07,210
Because it is right on the

621
00:31:10,260 --> 00:31:10,259
corner, and it is in district

622
00:31:10,259 --> 00:31:12,259
two.

623
00:31:14,565 --> 00:31:16,866
Maybe the location [Inaudible

624
00:31:16,866 --> 00:31:17,432
-<.Plow volume]. The mcdonald

625
00:31:17,432 --> 00:31:19,832
library is in two.

626
00:31:20,972 --> 00:31:23,204
So if we can look into that, I

627
00:31:23,204 --> 00:31:26,204
think into the be helpful.

628
00:31:27,307 --> 00:31:27,744
Especially partnering with the

629
00:31:27,744 --> 00:31:28,844
school district.

630
00:31:28,844 --> 00:31:29,547
>> thank you, Mr. Magill.

631
00:31:29,547 --> 00:31:31,947
Thank you, Ms. Gunning.

632
00:31:36,351 --> 00:31:36,815
We are going to move to public

633
00:31:36,815 --> 00:31:38,815
comment, Mr. Olson.

634
00:31:38,953 --> 00:31:42,553
If anyone wants to come to

635
00:31:48,396 --> 00:31:51,396
public comment, state your name

and your address, please.

637
00:31:56,303 --> 00:31:57,306
Mr. Pierce.

638
00:31:57,306 --> 00:31:57,406
>> %+q

639
00:31:57,406 --> 00:31:59,750
q

640
00:31:59,750 --> 00:31:59,339
trqrce, 39 camden

641
00:31:59,339 --> 00:32:01,339
place.

642
00:32:02,740 --> 00:32:02,673
It is only approachuate that

643
00:32:02,673 --> 00:32:04,481
any -- appropriate that any

644
00:32:04,481 --> 00:32:06,445
property that is part of the

645
00:32:06,445 --> 00:32:08,880
city have the proper features

646
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,480
that a city provides, it is

647
00:32:14,853 --> 00:32:17,253
just police protection, fire

648
00:32:18,122 --> 00:32:18,622
protection, emergency medical

649
00:32:18,622 --> 00:32:19,824
services, solid waste

650
00:32:19,824 --> 00:32:21,824
collection services.

651
00:32:21,895 --> 00:32:24,895
and those would be something

652
00:32:29,268 --> 00:32:30,501
that any part of the city

653
00:32:30,501 --> 00:32:31,770
should be entitled to.

654
00:32:31,770 --> 00:32:33,439
With the annexation of new

655
00:32:33,439 --> 00:32:36,730
land, it actually falls that

656
00:32:36,730 --> 00:32:37,609
the types of services, or

657
00:32:37,609 --> 00:32:39,608
those, that, people living in

658
00:32:39,608 --> 00:32:40,141
the residences would be

659
00:32:40,141 --> 00:32:42,141
entitled to that.

660
00:32:43,515 --> 00:32:46,515
Having said that, one thing

661
00:32:46,615 --> 00:32:49,421
that came to our attention is

662
00:32:49,421 --> 00:32:51,757
that the address of the

663
00:32:51,757 --> 00:32:53,555
increased costs of the services

664
00:32:53,555 --> 00:32:56,555
to the former, or the

665
00:33:02,563 --> 00:33:03,801
residences of the city prior to

666
00:33:03,801 --> 00:33:06,201
contention that the above

667
00:33:06,302 --> 00:33:07,604
resolution, which is regarding

668
00:33:07,604 --> 00:33:10,604

672
00:33:17,912 --> 00:33:20,830
which was passed here on the

673
00:33:20,830 --> 00:33:23,520
14th, that it was passed

674
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,554
illegally as it fails to meet

675
00:33:24,554 --> 00:33:26,754
the standard for acceptable

676
00:33:26,754 --> 00:33:29,290
public notice under the texas

677
00:33:29,290 --> 00:33:31,690
open meetings act section 7,

678
00:33:33,393 --> 00:33:33,761
you know, the various notice

679
00:33:33,761 --> 00:33:34,495
requirements.

680
00:33:34,495 --> 00:33:36,629
Those, for example, a

681
00:33:36,629 --> 00:33:38,464
government body must give the

682
00:33:38,464 --> 00:33:40,235
public advance notice of at

683
00:33:40,235 --> 00:33:41,534
subjects they are going to

684
00:33:41,534 --> 00:33:42,869

688
00:33:49,441 --> 00:33:50,809
And government actions taken in

689
00:33:50,809 --> 00:33:53,209
violation of the notice

690
00:33:54,812 --> 00:33:55,145
requirements of the act are

691
00:33:55,145 --> 00:33:57,145
avoidable.

692
00:33:57,151 --> 00:33:59,217
The resolution was passed

693
00:33:59,217 --> 00:34:00,751
without reading or attachment

694
00:34:00,751 --> 00:34:01,953
to the written agenda made

695
00:34:01,953 --> 00:34:04,880
available to the public,

696
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,880
denying the measure to raise

697
00:34:07,327 --> 00:34:08,825

704
00:34:22,973 --> 00:34:24,641
mutes the requirements under

705
00:34:24,641 --> 00:34:26,760
the texas open meetings act.

706
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:27,310
We also request that if the

707
00:34:27,310 --> 00:34:30,790
city attorney finds that it

708
00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:32,915

>> I made a motion to place it

>> okay.

725
00:35:12,819 --> 00:35:13,952
We have, Mr. Olson, we have a

726
00:35:13,952 --> 00:35:15,723
page up on the website that

727
00:35:15,723 --> 00:35:18,227
talks about the cost of the

728
00:35:18,227 --> 00:35:19,926
service plan and what the

729
00:35:19,926 --> 00:35:20,563
service plan is?

730
00:35:20,563 --> 00:35:20,860
>> yes, sir.

731
00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:22,860

What is the cost of the service

extension?

734
00:35:34,943 --> 00:35:37,943
>> stretching my memory just a

735
00:35:38,478 --> 00:35:39,613
little bit, Mr. Loeb, I think

736
00:35:39,613 --> 00:35:39,913
phase one costs are about $13

737
00:35:39,913 --> 00:35:41,913
million.

738
00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:43,580
>> okay, and what is the

739
00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:44,114
estimated tax revenue?

740
00:35:44,114 --> 00:35:46,114
>> about 20 million.

741
00:35:46,716 --> 00:35:48,788
>> so the ref knew is higher

742
00:35:48,788 --> 00:35:49,187
than -- so the revenue is higher

743
00:35:49,187 --> 00:35:51,187
than expenses?

744
00:35:54,359 --> 00:35:57,959
>> yes, and it should not cost

745
00:35:58,329 --> 00:35:58,728
anybody who is currently paying

746
00:35:58,728 --> 00:35:59,231

Yes, sir.

dobson.

753
00:36:08,207 --> 00:36:11,207
I spoke here last week.

754
00:36:15,445 --> 00:36:17,645
I would like to ask the council

755
00:36:17,645 --> 00:36:17,880
to reconsider their annexation

756
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,450
move.

757
00:36:19,450 --> 00:36:20,552
I am impacted by your decision

758
00:36:20,552 --> 00:36:23,119
because the decision that you

759
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:26,391
made is going to make it

760
00:36:26,391 --> 00:36:28,394
expensive for us to operate

761
00:36:28,394 --> 00:36:29,250
welcome city codes, rules,

762
00:36:29,250 --> 00:36:29,260
ordnances, regulations, and

763
00:36:29,260 --> 00:36:30,929
more.

764
00:36:30,929 --> 00:36:35,398
And I also want to ask you to

765
00:36:35,398 --> 00:36:36,565
reconsider based on the fact

766
00:36:36,565 --> 00:36:38,980
that the etj, or the

767
00:36:38,980 --> 00:36:40,498
jurisdiction that the cities

768
00:36:41,971 --> 00:36:43,437
are allowed to have is put

769
00:36:43,437 --> 00:36:45,140
there by the legislature and it

770
00:36:45,140 --> 00:36:46,810
is put there for the benefit of

771
00:36:46,810 --> 00:36:49,511
the city and also for the folks

772
00:36:49,511 --> 00:36:51,114
of the county to know where the

773
00:36:51,114 --> 00:36:51,450
reach of the city's understand

774
00:36:51,450 --> 00:36:53,450
nuance is.

775
00:36:54,219 --> 00:36:58,419
And in your move, you formed a

776
00:36:59,486 --> 00:37:00,622
q tip and now you are annexing

777
00:37:00,622 --> 00:37:02,250
area outside of the etj, and

778
00:37:02,250 --> 00:37:04,558
have plans to double that, I

779
00:37:04,558 --> 00:37:08,132
think, or make a phase two.

780
00:37:08,132 --> 00:37:10,499
This is a trend based on

781
00:37:10,499 --> 00:37:11,198
property rights, it is a

782
00:37:11,198 --> 00:37:13,598
disturbing trend because people

783
00:37:14,735 --> 00:37:15,869
in the county don't know what

784
00:37:15,869 --> 00:37:17,300
the definition of areas that

785
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:17,406
you consider part of the

786
00:37:17,406 --> 00:37:19,406
community are.

787
00:37:20,273 --> 00:37:20,507
I think that is what the letter

788
00:37:20,507 --> 00:37:22,507
said.

789
00:37:23,107 --> 00:37:23,709
And so I would like the council

790
00:37:23,709 --> 00:37:26,770
to define the community.

791
00:37:26,770 --> 00:37:29,820
I would also like the council

792
00:37:29,820 --> 00:37:29,348
to have master plans for the

793
00:37:29,348 --> 00:37:31,348
items.

794
00:37:31,581 --> 00:37:33,255
None of the area that you have

795
00:37:33,255 --> 00:37:36,521
annexed as a master plan and

796
00:37:36,521 --> 00:37:38,559
none of the area in the etj

797
00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:38,924
that I am familiar with as a

798
00:37:38,924 --> 00:37:40,924
master plan.

799
00:37:42,910 --> 00:37:44,493
Right now it is by paint ball

800
00:37:44,493 --> 00:37:45,632
and it is not very effective.

801
00:37:45,632 --> 00:37:45,997
it is not orderly or

802
00:37:45,997 --> 00:37:47,467
predictable.

803
00:37:47,467 --> 00:37:49,535
It is going to result in a

804
00:37:49,535 --> 00:37:49,967
community that is scattered and

805
00:37:49,967 --> 00:37:51,967
not planned.

806
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:56,601
I would like to have a

807
00:37:58,275 --> 00:37:58,542
community that feels more like

808
00:37:58,542 --> 00:37:59,478
plano.

809
00:37:59,478 --> 00:38:00,712
I would like for it to look

810
00:38:00,712 --> 00:38:03,415
like a place that I would want

811
00:38:03,415 --> 00:38:03,947
to live and the people want to

812
00:38:03,947 --> 00:38:05,947
come to.

813
00:38:06,884 --> 00:38:07,852
I think that the master plan

814
00:38:07,852 --> 00:38:10,550
also ignores the 30,000-acres

815
00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:10,286
that are not part of the wind

816
00:38:10,286 --> 00:38:12,155
farm.

817
00:38:12,155 --> 00:38:12,388
That is a pretty big area to

818
00:38:12,388 --> 00:38:14,388
grow.

819
00:38:15,658 --> 00:38:17,327
If you look at the etj and you

820
00:38:17,327 --> 00:38:20,327
look at that 30,000-acres which

821
00:38:20,631 --> 00:38:22,767
does not consider the king

822
00:38:22,767 --> 00:38:24,367
ranch, which has 480,000-acres

823
00:38:24,367 --> 00:38:26,330
joining the city right now,

824
00:38:26,330 --> 00:38:29,690
there is plenty of room for

825
00:38:29,690 --> 00:38:32,669
corpus christi to grow into the

826
00:38:33,478 --> 00:38:34,375
next 200 years unless the

827
00:38:34,375 --> 00:38:34,677
growth rate accelerates

828
00:38:34,677 --> 00:38:36,677
crazily.

829
00:38:36,847 --> 00:38:37,345
And no one in the city has to

830
00:38:37,345 --> 00:38:38,647
pay the tax revenue.

831
00:38:38,647 --> 00:38:41,885
That means it is all coming

832
00:38:41,885 --> 00:38:45,485
from the owners that you seem

833
00:38:45,786 --> 00:38:46,219
to not care about, this the

834
00:38:46,219 --> 00:38:46,887
plan is punitive.

835
00:38:46,887 --> 00:38:47,989
You have drawn it around

836
00:38:47,989 --> 00:38:50,622
everyone out there except the

837
00:38:50,622 --> 00:38:50,861
people that are in the wind

838
00:38:50,861 --> 00:38:52,861
farm.

839
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,861
The only exception to that is

840
00:38:54,861 --> 00:38:57,166
that q tip, you had to get 500

841
00:38:57,166 --> 00:39:00,666
feet so it would all connect.

842
00:39:00,666 --> 00:39:02,502
This is a texas two-step that

843
00:39:02,502 --> 00:39:04,673
is not very attractive from a

844
00:39:04,673 --> 00:39:05,206
rural standpoint and we would

845
00:39:05,206 --> 00:39:05,541
like some clarity.

846
00:39:05,541 --> 00:39:06,572
Thank you.

847
00:39:06,572 --> 00:39:10,772
>> thank you, if I can ask you

848
00:39:16,190 --> 00:39:16,484
to remember to state your name

849
00:39:16,484 --> 00:39:18,484
an address, please.

850
00:39:18,717 --> 00:39:20,185
>> [Inaudible-low volume]

851
00:39:20,185 --> 00:39:21,890
3621 austin.

852
00:39:21,890 --> 00:39:22,554
I would like to re-enforce what

853
00:39:22,554 --> 00:39:24,554
Mr. Pierce said.

854
00:39:26,424 --> 00:39:28,529
I think first of all, the

855
00:39:28,529 --> 00:39:30,929
resolution specifies that the

856
00:39:31,229 --> 00:39:31,730
money will go into the

857
00:39:31,730 --> 00:39:33,630
infrastructure fund.

858
00:39:33,630 --> 00:39:37,230
That does not pay for other

859
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:37,735
services that are extended to

860
00:39:37,735 --> 00:39:39,536
the area.

861
00:39:39,536 --> 00:39:41,473
So, the struck sister that has

862
00:39:41,473 --> 00:39:43,808
been widely repeated here that

863
00:39:43,808 --> 00:39:46,109
the $13 million is to pay for

864
00:39:46,109 --> 00:39:49,709
the water and the sewer lines

865
00:39:49,747 --> 00:39:52,747
to go down to 24 and 44.

866
00:39:53,486 --> 00:39:55,218
That does not pay for police,

867
00:39:55,218 --> 00:39:55,619
fire, waste management, or

868
00:39:55,619 --> 00:39:57,619
other services.

869
00:40:00,155 --> 00:40:00,524
That will come out of the

870
00:40:00,524 --> 00:40:01,226
general fund.

871
00:40:01,226 --> 00:40:03,591
That rep represents an increase

872
00:40:03,591 --> 00:40:07,791
in cost to the general fund and

873
00:40:07,864 --> 00:40:10,310
to the taxpayers that was not

874
00:40:10,310 --> 00:40:12,431
identified in a resolution.

875
00:40:13,536 --> 00:40:16,536
It was not mentioned on 9/16.

876
00:40:16,572 --> 00:40:19,720
It was not discussed on 9/30.

877
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:22,545
Nor was the printed version of

878
00:40:22,545 --> 00:40:25,182
the resolution in the agenda,

879
00:40:25,182 --> 00:40:27,982
or in the minutes, either 9/30

880
00:40:27,982 --> 00:40:30,982
or 10/14 when it was passed.

881
00:40:31,288 --> 00:40:34,421
Now, the fact that this results

882
00:40:34,421 --> 00:40:38,210
in an increase in taxpayers and

883
00:40:39,260 --> 00:40:39,292
costs, was not notified to

884
00:40:39,292 --> 00:40:41,292
public.

885
00:40:41,863 --> 00:40:43,230
The public hearings were held

886
00:40:43,230 --> 00:40:43,566
before the resolution was

887
00:40:43,566 --> 00:40:45,566
brought up.

888
00:40:45,870 --> 00:40:47,501
So there was not a chance for

889
00:40:47,501 --> 00:40:50,203
the public to discuss or have

890
00:40:50,203 --> 00:40:51,803
input on to the costs that were

891
00:40:51,803 --> 00:40:54,203
being put on them.

892
00:40:54,742 --> 00:40:57,440
Therefore, the notice fails.

893
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:57,277
And we are prepared to pursue

894
00:40:57,277 --> 00:40:58,344
that.

895
00:40:58,344 --> 00:41:01,147
So I would ask you to consider

896
00:41:01,147 --> 00:41:02,518
it in light of the additional

897
00:41:02,518 --> 00:41:04,918
information along with the

898
00:41:05,950 --> 00:41:08,322
letter, and review the texas

899
00:41:08,322 --> 00:41:08,654
code at the meetings.

900
00:41:08,654 --> 00:41:10,157
Thank you.

901
00:41:10,157 --> 00:41:10,456
>> thank you, Mr. Kelly.

902
00:41:10,456 --> 00:41:12,456
Mr. Loeb.

903
00:41:13,425 --> 00:41:15,826
>> Mr. Olson, just to be clear,

904
00:41:15,826 --> 00:41:18,826
the $13.3 million is the cost

905
00:41:21,369 --> 00:41:24,369
of the entire service plan,

906
00:41:26,873 --> 00:41:27,339
which includes all city

907
00:41:27,339 --> 00:41:28,273
services, correct?

908
00:41:28,273 --> 00:41:30,273
>> Mr. Pearson --

909
00:41:32,708 --> 00:41:33,911
>> yes, I think that is

910
00:41:33,911 --> 00:41:36,311
essentially true, Mr. Loeb.

911
00:41:37,150 --> 00:41:40,750
The primary cost is, as Mr.

912
00:41:40,987 --> 00:41:43,117
Kelly said, for infra-

913
00:41:43,117 --> 00:41:43,554
stuckture, that is the new-

914
00:41:43,554 --> 00:41:45,554
-infrastructure.

915
00:41:46,356 --> 00:41:48,659
The basic service plan that we

916
00:41:48,659 --> 00:41:50,994
have initiated assumes that

917
00:41:50,994 --> 00:41:53,994
city services will be extended

918
00:41:56,666 --> 00:41:59,666
to the new service area.

919
00:41:59,935 --> 00:42:02,303
Police, for example, will

920
00:42:02,303 --> 00:42:02,974
respond given their current

921
00:42:02,974 --> 00:42:04,974
beats and staffings.

922
00:42:08,345 --> 00:42:09,445
Medical will come from existing

923
00:42:09,445 --> 00:42:09,781
stations and existing

924
00:42:09,781 --> 00:42:11,781
locations.

925
00:42:13,184 --> 00:42:13,515
Solid waste is a fee based

926
00:42:13,515 --> 00:42:15,515
operation.

927
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,387
So, as people get service, stay

928
00:42:19,387 --> 00:42:20,924
will pay for it, in the area,

929
00:42:20,924 --> 00:42:23,924
just like they would here.

930
00:42:25,758 --> 00:42:28,499
So the service plan does not

931
00:42:28,499 --> 00:42:31,499
anticipate the addition of, at

932
00:42:33,333 --> 00:42:35,537
this point in time, of any new

933
00:42:35,537 --> 00:42:35,837
staffing and therefore, any new

934
00:42:35,837 --> 00:42:37,837
expenses.

935
00:42:38,672 --> 00:42:40,472
Is that because the development

936
00:42:40,472 --> 00:42:42,177
that is predicted to happen

937
00:42:42,177 --> 00:42:44,710
within the area is wind

938
00:42:44,710 --> 00:42:47,110
turbines rather than housing?

939
00:42:47,847 --> 00:42:49,881
>> well, it assumes that, the

940
00:42:49,881 --> 00:42:51,150
basic population that exists

941
00:42:51,150 --> 00:42:52,785
there now.

942
00:42:52,785 --> 00:42:53,954
Now as the population increases

943
00:42:53,954 --> 00:42:56,954
overtime, I am sure that

944
00:42:57,588 --> 00:42:57,858
service plan is going have to

945
00:42:57,858 --> 00:42:59,858
change.

946
00:43:00,893 --> 00:43:01,727
But, it assumes [Inaudible-

947
00:43:01,727 --> 00:43:02,940

948
00:43:02,940 --> 00:43:02,327
>> okay.

949
00:43:02,327 --> 00:43:02,662
Okay.

950
00:43:02,662 --> 00:43:04,662
Thank you.

951
00:43:06,829 --> 00:43:08,166
>> thank you, particular loeb

952
00:43:08,166 --> 00:43:08,401
and particular olson.

953
00:43:08,401 --> 00:43:10,135
-- Mr.

954
00:43:10,135 --> 00:43:12,535
Loeb and Mr. Olson.

955
00:43:12,771 --> 00:43:15,139
>> you said $20 million in

956
00:43:15,139 --> 00:43:15,776
revenue and $13 million in

957
00:43:15,776 --> 00:43:17,776
expenditures, approximately.

958
00:43:18,508 --> 00:43:21,214
And based on what we talked

959
00:43:21,214 --> 00:43:23,449
about on the 14th, any revenue

960
00:43:23,449 --> 00:43:23,750
above the service is going

961
00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:24,416
whether?

962
00:43:24,416 --> 00:43:26,816
>> to the general fund.

963
00:43:27,615 --> 00:43:29,287
>> which operates all of the

those such as waste, water, and

966
00:43:31,390 --> 00:43:31,721
things like that.

967
00:43:31,721 --> 00:43:33,721
Thank you.

968
00:43:36,458 --> 00:43:36,858

970
00:43:40,397 --> 00:43:40,697
Anyone else here for public

971
00:43:40,697 --> 00:43:42,697
comment?

974
00:43:46,634 --> 00:43:47,804
We are assuming a lot of

975
00:43:47,804 --> 00:43:49,739
things, aren't we?

976
00:43:49,739 --> 00:43:51,276
There are a lot of assumptions

977
00:43:51,276 --> 00:43:52,943
going on but the tax burden you

978
00:43:52,943 --> 00:43:54,512
are going to put on is going to

979
00:43:54,512 --> 00:43:55,646
be on the people, no matter

980
00:43:55,646 --> 00:43:57,280
which way you try to hide it.

981
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,849
It is going to be on the

982
00:43:59,849 --> 00:44:01,985
people, just like you had a

983
00:44:01,985 --> 00:44:04,819
report recently that we have

984
00:44:04,819 --> 00:44:07,288
two of the busiest fire

985
00:44:07,288 --> 00:44:09,190
stations in the nation, and

986
00:44:09,190 --> 00:44:12,197
yet, you are still saying when

987
00:44:12,197 --> 00:44:12,528
it grows, we will build fire

988
00:44:12,528 --> 00:44:14,920
station 18.

989
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:14,561
But you have not made

990
00:44:14,561 --> 00:44:16,561
provisions for it.

991
00:44:16,968 --> 00:44:18,767
You have not done what you need

992
00:44:18,767 --> 00:44:18,968
to do, and what is your duty to

993
00:44:18,968 --> 00:44:20,968
do.

994
00:44:22,404 --> 00:44:22,669
It is to take care of the

995
00:44:22,669 --> 00:44:23,504
people.

996
00:44:23,504 --> 00:44:25,771
You are refuse together build

997
00:44:25,771 --> 00:44:27,542
fire station 18 and say we will

998
00:44:27,542 --> 00:44:29,843
do it some time in the future.

999
00:44:29,843 --> 00:44:30,144
It is going to be like the

1000
00:44:30,144 --> 00:44:31,779
streets?

1001
00:44:31,779 --> 00:44:34,179
100 years from now, 90 years

1002
00:44:35,282 --> 00:44:36,416
from now, you will take a look

1003
00:44:36,416 --> 00:44:37,783
at it?

1004
00:44:37,783 --> 00:44:40,321
That is really something that

1005
00:44:40,321 --> 00:44:41,554
is not acceptable to the

1006
00:44:41,554 --> 00:44:43,954
citizens of corpus christi.

1007
00:44:44,657 --> 00:44:45,391
The fact that you are not

1008
00:44:45,391 --> 00:44:46,250
willing to take the

1009
00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:48,425
responsibility that you were

1010
00:44:49,228 --> 00:44:52,950
elected to take, which is take

1011
00:44:52,950 --> 00:44:52,397
care of the citizens of corpus

1012
00:44:52,397 --> 00:44:53,734
christi.

1013
00:44:53,734 --> 00:44:57,504
When you say that they give you

1014
00:44:57,504 --> 00:44:58,904
a letter, oh, but we did.

1015
00:44:58,904 --> 00:44:59,569
We took care of everything.

1016
00:44:59,569 --> 00:45:02,242
But they give you proof in

1017
00:45:02,242 --> 00:45:03,607
writing and you are not willing

1018
00:45:03,607 --> 00:45:04,909
to accept it.

1019
00:45:04,909 --> 00:45:07,946
My question to each of you is

1020
00:45:07,946 --> 00:45:09,779
when are you going to be

1021
00:45:09,779 --> 00:45:10,113
willing to accept the will of

1022
00:45:10,113 --> 00:45:12,113
the people?

1023
00:45:13,319 --> 00:45:14,983
We tell you that it was not

1024
00:45:14,983 --> 00:45:16,756
acceptable, you gave all sorts

1025
00:45:16,756 --> 00:45:18,222
of excuses of how you are troy

1026
00:45:18,222 --> 00:45:18,894
to go protect us.

1027
00:45:18,894 --> 00:45:20,359
There is a hurricane coming and

1028
00:45:20,359 --> 00:45:21,124
we won't be able to tell you

1029
00:45:21,124 --> 00:45:23,124
what to do.

1030
00:45:23,430 --> 00:45:26,528
It is our duty to protect you.

1031
00:45:26,528 --> 00:45:26,762
Who is protecting us from you

1032
00:45:26,762 --> 00:45:28,762
all?

1033
00:45:30,970 --> 00:45:31,267
That is my question.

1034
00:45:31,267 --> 00:45:33,937
Who is protecting the citizens

1035
00:45:33,937 --> 00:45:34,270
and the taxpayers of this

1036
00:45:34,270 --> 00:45:34,671
community?

1037
00:45:34,671 --> 00:45:36,608
We are tired.

1038
00:45:36,608 --> 00:45:38,909
We are very tired of what is

1039
00:45:38,909 --> 00:45:41,276
going on in the city.

1040
00:45:41,276 --> 00:45:42,376
And I am sure there will be

1041
00:45:42,376 --> 00:45:45,376
people out here defending you,

1042
00:45:45,946 --> 00:45:46,214

doing.

1044
00:45:47,649 --> 00:45:48,782
But if you look, you,

1045
00:45:48,782 --> 00:45:51,782
yourselves know the truth of

1046
00:45:52,621 --> 00:45:56,191
what you are doing to the

1047
00:45:56,191 --> 00:45:56,959
citizens of corpus christi.

1048
00:45:56,959 --> 00:45:57,324

before you guys.

1062
00:46:19,714 --> 00:46:21,348
It is an election year.

1063
00:46:21,348 --> 00:46:23,184
You guys are going to be set

1064
00:46:23,184 --> 00:46:26,784

1069
00:46:32,691 --> 00:46:35,910
Do you remember that?

1070
00:46:36,827 --> 00:46:37,996
Well, they said I am willing to

1071
00:46:37,996 --> 00:46:39,967
pay taxes.

1072
00:46:39,967 --> 00:46:40,663
I am willing to.

1073
00:46:40,663 --> 00:46:41,898
You know?

1074
00:46:41,898 --> 00:46:44,668
You know, I keep say together

1075
00:46:44,668 --> 00:46:46,202
you guys, there is three sides

1076
00:46:46,202 --> 00:46:47,439
to every story, there are is

1077
00:46:47,439 --> 00:46:47,973
your side, my side, and the

1078
00:46:47,973 --> 00:46:49,973
physical abuses.

1079
00:46:50,876 --> 00:46:53,812
And the facts need to -- and

1080
00:46:53,812 --> 00:46:54,715
the fabs.

1081
00:46:54,715 --> 00:46:58,915
And the fact -- and the facts.

1082
00:46:59,353 --> 00:47:01,218
And the fabs need to come -- and

1083
00:47:01,218 --> 00:47:04,818
the facts need to come out.

1084
00:47:06,260 --> 00:47:07,826
Every time you do not resound,

1085
00:47:07,826 --> 00:47:08,592
respond -- respond, the very few

1086
00:47:08,592 --> 00:47:10,426
people believe it is the truth.

1087
00:47:10,426 --> 00:47:12,394
They believe it is the truth.

1088
00:47:12,394 --> 00:47:14,364
Now I know, mayor and council

1089
00:47:14,364 --> 00:47:16,267
members that you cannot respond

1090
00:47:16,267 --> 00:47:18,267
to the public.

1091
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:20,507
But the city manager can.

1092
00:47:20,507 --> 00:47:22,907
The city attorney can.

1093
00:47:24,907 --> 00:47:25,376
With the truth, again, some

1094
00:47:25,376 --> 00:47:25,806
allegations again.

1095
00:47:25,806 --> 00:47:27,806
It is now.

1096
00:47:27,910 --> 00:47:29,778
They want to respond next week,

1097
00:47:29,778 --> 00:47:32,347
I am hoping they are.

1098
00:47:32,347 --> 00:47:34,750
You know, they need to put all

1099
00:47:34,750 --> 00:47:38,350
of this to bed and rest.

1100
00:47:38,354 --> 00:47:39,456
Remember, there are a lot of

1101
00:47:39,456 --> 00:47:41,456
people here supporting

1102
00:47:44,940 --> 00:47:44,359
annexation, willing to pay

1103
00:47:44,359 --> 00:47:46,359
taxes.

1104
00:47:48,365 --> 00:47:50,263
Now $13 million, and then you

1105
00:47:50,263 --> 00:47:50,563
are going to get $20 million in

1106
00:47:50,563 --> 00:47:51,798
re knew.

1107
00:47:51,798 --> 00:47:52,466
That is not -- revenue, that is

1108
00:47:52,466 --> 00:47:53,736
not bad at all.

1109
00:47:53,736 --> 00:47:56,170
And to talk about fire station

1110
00:47:56,170 --> 00:47:58,939
18, the money is there and it

1111
00:47:58,939 --> 00:48:00,806
is going to be built when it is

1112
00:48:00,806 --> 00:48:03,806
negligence that money is not

1113
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,440
going to -- when it is needed,

1114
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:06,310
that money is not going to be

1115
00:48:06,310 --> 00:48:07,881
spent.

1116
00:48:07,881 --> 00:48:09,549
Now you are trying to run the

1117
00:48:09,549 --> 00:48:10,850
city in a great way, you know,

1118
00:48:10,850 --> 00:48:14,191
you are not going to win no

1119
00:48:14,191 --> 00:48:14,454
matter what you do with the

1120
00:48:14,454 --> 00:48:16,454
people.

1121
00:48:17,925 --> 00:48:22,125
So all I am saying, be truthful

1122
00:48:26,633 --> 00:48:30,233
to the public and let the

1123
00:48:31,737 --> 00:48:32,700
public decide.

1124
00:48:32,700 --> 00:48:34,700
Thank you.

1125
00:48:39,446 --> 00:48:39,943
>> thank you.

1126
00:48:39,943 --> 00:48:41,943
Mr. Escobaro.

1127
00:48:48,384 --> 00:48:50,784
>> mayor, city council, I

1128
00:48:50,787 --> 00:48:51,457
ambush escobaro.

1129
00:48:51,457 --> 00:48:53,457
3902 scar toga.

1130
00:48:56,295 --> 00:48:58,828
Over two mayors ago, the mayor,

1131
00:48:58,828 --> 00:49:00,365
henry garrett, made a very

1132
00:49:00,365 --> 00:49:02,365
profound statement.

1133
00:49:02,598 --> 00:49:06,198
He said that the most important

1134
00:49:07,536 --> 00:49:09,106
goal that he had, he was going

1135
00:49:09,106 --> 00:49:11,273
to pursue in his next term was

1136
00:49:11,273 --> 00:49:11,573
to make sure that the toilets

1137
00:49:11,573 --> 00:49:13,442
flushed.

1138
00:49:13,442 --> 00:49:14,900
I don't know if you all

1139
00:49:14,900 --> 00:49:16,409
remember that or not.

1140
00:49:19,716 --> 00:49:21,183
Even back then, he was talking

1141
00:49:21,183 --> 00:49:23,183
about our infrastructure.

1142
00:49:24,753 --> 00:49:26,153
Never has the wisdom of that

1143
00:49:26,153 --> 00:49:28,590
statement been more true than

1144
00:49:28,590 --> 00:49:30,126
to date.

1145
00:49:30,126 --> 00:49:33,726
And still do not get it.

1146
00:49:35,965 --> 00:49:36,632
Any time you can come up with

1147
00:49:36,632 --> 00:49:38,698
another die version other than-

1148
00:49:38,698 --> 00:49:39,835
-diversion other than if I

1149
00:49:39,835 --> 00:49:42,300
canning our streets and

1150
00:49:42,300 --> 00:49:45,300
infrastructure, you will do so.

1151
00:49:46,207 --> 00:49:49,207
the history goes further back

1152
00:49:49,576 --> 00:49:51,948
than across town commons, the

1153
00:49:51,948 --> 00:49:54,460
baseball stadium, america bank

1154
00:49:54,460 --> 00:49:56,446
center, the arena, destination

1155
00:49:56,649 --> 00:49:56,983
bay front, and now the

1156
00:49:56,983 --> 00:49:58,583
annexation.

1157
00:49:58,583 --> 00:50:00,755
All of these add more tax

1158
00:50:00,755 --> 00:50:01,154
dollars to our billion dollar

1159
00:50:01,154 --> 00:50:03,154
street problem.

1160
00:50:03,790 --> 00:50:06,325
And I think of all of these,

1161
00:50:06,325 --> 00:50:10,330
the best example I can site for

1162
00:50:10,330 --> 00:50:11,766
this issue that has come up is

1163
00:50:11,766 --> 00:50:12,630
probably the cross town

1164
00:50:12,630 --> 00:50:14,630
commons.

1165
00:50:14,235 --> 00:50:17,835
At that time, you are talking

1166
00:50:17,937 --> 00:50:21,374
about a shopping center on the

1167
00:50:21,374 --> 00:50:24,374
outskirts of town verses an

1168
00:50:24,380 --> 00:50:27,380
existing mall, which is now [

1169
00:50:28,682 --> 00:50:31,820
Inaudible-low volume], be if

1170
00:50:39,422 --> 00:50:39,990
you all had taken action,

1171
00:50:39,990 --> 00:50:41,960
whatever the reason was.

1172
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,129
Oh, yes, it is always good to

1173
00:50:43,129 --> 00:50:45,762
take many in more and more land

1174
00:50:45,762 --> 00:50:47,967
but it is going to take tax

1175
00:50:47,967 --> 00:50:48,200
dollars, number one, to pursue

1176
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,200
that.

1177
00:50:51,833 --> 00:50:54,833
Number two, you have the

1178
00:50:55,271 --> 00:50:57,742
infield, just like you have

1179
00:50:57,742 --> 00:50:58,811
staples mall to take care of

1180
00:50:58,811 --> 00:51:01,811
first, because they were paying

1181
00:51:03,379 --> 00:51:03,684
taxes to a mall that was not in

1182
00:51:03,684 --> 00:51:05,380
town yet.

1183
00:51:05,380 --> 00:51:07,470
Now you are looking at taking

1184
00:51:07,470 --> 00:51:09,589
in more land which is going

1185
00:51:09,589 --> 00:51:11,500
take more investment on the

1186
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:12,153
part of the city where you

1187
00:51:12,153 --> 00:51:14,489
already have, you have the

1188
00:51:14,489 --> 00:51:18,890
infield that has not been taken

1189
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,920
care of yet.

1190
00:51:20,494 --> 00:51:23,494
That should be your priority.

1191
00:51:24,464 --> 00:51:24,867
And your priority is the

1192
00:51:24,867 --> 00:51:25,531
infrastructure.

1193
00:51:25,531 --> 00:51:27,604
Again, every time you come one

1194
00:51:27,604 --> 00:51:31,204
a new issue, such as the

1195
00:51:31,506 --> 00:51:32,707
destination bay front, now the

1196
00:51:32,707 --> 00:51:35,107
annexation, you are putting

1197
00:51:35,142 --> 00:51:37,279
this ahead of taking care of

1198
00:51:37,279 --> 00:51:39,279
your b,

1199
00:51:39,947 --> 00:51:40,948
responsibilities which is

1200
00:51:40,948 --> 00:51:41,280
your infrastructure.

1201
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,280
thank you.

1202
00:51:43,548 --> 00:51:45,548
>> thank you.

1203
00:51:46,119 --> 00:51:46,517
Is there anyone else here for

1204
00:51:46,517 --> 00:51:48,221
public comment.

1205
00:51:48,221 --> 00:51:52,960
Okay, now we are going to move

1206
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,560
back to the second item on the

1207
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:55,260
city manager's report.

1208
00:51:55,260 --> 00:51:56,732
Mr. Olson?

1209
00:51:56,732 --> 00:51:58,732
Thank you, mayor.

1210
00:51:58,967 --> 00:52:00,302
Just and informational item on

1211
00:52:00,302 --> 00:52:00,599
the montgomery ward building

1212
00:52:00,599 --> 00:52:02,599
downtown.

1213
00:52:03,736 --> 00:52:05,402
Many years ago, the city

1214
00:52:05,402 --> 00:52:09,602
entered into a, I am not sure

1215
00:52:09,610 --> 00:52:11,509
what to call it, a deal where

1216
00:52:11,509 --> 00:52:15,109
the city leased, rented, had an

1217
00:52:15,544 --> 00:52:18,318
option on that building, and it

1218
00:52:18,318 --> 00:52:18,618
was used to promote development

1219
00:52:18,618 --> 00:52:20,618
downtown.

1220
00:52:20,652 --> 00:52:24,252
During the past six months, the

1221
00:52:24,354 --> 00:52:24,755
city has taken ownership on

1222
00:52:24,755 --> 00:52:26,755
that structure.

1223
00:52:28,693 --> 00:52:33,493
And we are now able to move air

1224
00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:41,799
head -- move ahead and ask for

1225
00:52:41,971 --> 00:52:44,807
pro.Sals -- proposals, which we

1226
00:52:44,807 --> 00:52:47,807
will do before November 10th.

1227
00:52:49,679 --> 00:52:51,381
That hopefully it will help

1228
00:52:51,381 --> 00:52:52,713
promote the continued re

1229
00:52:52,713 --> 00:52:54,183
development of the downtown.

1230
00:52:54,183 --> 00:52:55,682
And I just wanted the council

1231
00:52:55,682 --> 00:52:58,253
to understand that we are doing

1232
00:52:58,253 --> 00:53:00,357
that and if you have need for

1233
00:53:00,357 --> 00:53:02,523
further details, you can

1234
00:53:02,523 --> 00:53:03,893
contact me and get them prior

1235
00:53:03,893 --> 00:53:05,260
to November 10th.

1236
00:53:05,260 --> 00:53:07,163
>> thank you, Mr. Olson.

1237
00:53:07,163 --> 00:53:07,764
It is good to hear we are

1238
00:53:07,764 --> 00:53:08,980
moving forward on that.

1239
00:53:08,980 --> 00:53:09,331
Mr. Scott.

1240
00:53:09,331 --> 00:53:12,170
>> I just want to make sure

1241
00:53:12,170 --> 00:53:12,831
that the d and d is involved in

1242
00:53:12,831 --> 00:53:14,831
all of this.

1243
00:53:15,236 --> 00:53:15,834
That it is part of the, that

1244
00:53:15,834 --> 00:53:17,834
they are engaged.

1245
00:53:18,106 --> 00:53:18,341
>> we will make sure that they

1246
00:53:18,341 --> 00:53:20,341
are.

1247
00:53:22,179 --> 00:53:22,509
I think they have been up until

1248
00:53:22,509 --> 00:53:23,642
this point.

1249
00:53:23,642 --> 00:53:26,420
>> thank you, Mr. Scott.

1250
00:53:26,446 --> 00:53:26,712
And thank you, particular

Olson.

1255
00:53:30,517 --> 00:53:31,253
We are going to go ahead to the

1256
00:53:31,253 --> 00:53:33,253

1257
00:53:35,455 --> 00:53:36,555
>> we present the minutes of

>> do I have a motion?

1261
00:53:41,526 --> 00:53:42,165
I have a motion and a second.

1262
00:53:42,165 --> 00:53:44,165
Any discussion.

All in favor, say I. Opposed,

Motion carries.

1266
00:53:52,970 --> 00:53:53,339
We have no committee and board

1267
00:53:53,339 --> 00:53:55,339

The item before you is the

1294
00:54:59,330 --> 00:55:02,330
resolution in support of the

1295
00:55:06,376 --> 00:55:07,641

program.

1298
00:55:09,779 --> 00:55:10,876
This work is in the form of

1299
00:55:10,876 --> 00:55:13,516
overlay or treatment to streets

1300
00:55:13,516 --> 00:55:13,915

1310
00:55:27,262 --> 00:55:29,262
[Inaudible-low volume]. So

1311
00:55:30,161 --> 00:55:31,531
this is the resolution to go

1312
00:55:31,531 --> 00:55:33,933
along with the work plan.

1313
00:55:33,933 --> 00:55:34,266
>> thank you, Ms. Gray.

1314
00:55:34,266 --> 00:55:36,266

>> I am laughing because my, my

1316
00:55:38,837 --> 00:55:39,905
ipad is slow.

1317
00:55:39,905 --> 00:55:41,710
I had some really great notes

1318
00:55:41,710 --> 00:55:43,875
that I can not find.

1319
00:55:43,875 --> 00:55:45,411
So the cost of this, is this

1320
00:55:45,411 --> 00:55:48,615
the, I am sorry, this is where

1321
00:55:48,615 --> 00:55:49,681

>> this is the resolution,

1329
00:56:02,260 --> 00:56:03,627
which is just adopting the work

1330
00:56:03,627 --> 00:56:06,528
plan in the streets to be done.

1331
00:56:06,528 --> 00:56:08,932
What you will see is on the

1332
00:56:08,932 --> 00:56:11,932
future agenda item is the

1333
00:56:12,469 --> 00:56:14,938

And to this magnitude, no, we

1343
00:56:33,187 --> 00:56:35,187

next item is us spending $13

million on roads that we didn't

1352
00:56:56,877 --> 00:56:59,214
spend two years ago.

1353
00:56:59,214 --> 00:57:02,814
That this council voted on and

1354
00:57:04,180 --> 00:57:07,180
those folks made their public

1355
00:57:08,290 --> 00:57:11,225
comment, walked up, and left.

1356
00:57:11,225 --> 00:57:12,325
So, if they are really

1357
00:57:12,325 --> 00:57:15,325
concerned about this, ask why

1358
00:57:18,964 --> 00:57:19,232
they didn't stay 30 seconds

1359
00:57:19,232 --> 00:57:21,232

1360
00:57:21,835 --> 00:57:22,468

S you have are long overdue.

1383
00:58:03,408 --> 00:58:04,739
The maintenance program is long

1384
00:58:04,739 --> 00:58:07,379
overdue and it is not enough.

1385
00:58:07,379 --> 00:58:07,713
It is not enough of what you

1386
00:58:07,713 --> 00:58:09,713
are doing.

1387
00:58:10,815 --> 00:58:12,282
And we standby what we say, the

1388
00:58:12,282 --> 00:58:13,685
infrastructure is not what it

1389
00:58:13,685 --> 00:58:15,685
should be.

1390
00:58:17,422 --> 00:58:19,354
It is not the priority with the

1391
00:58:19,354 --> 00:58:20,900
council, but developments are,

1392
00:58:20,900 --> 00:58:20,890
real estate is.

1393
00:58:20,890 --> 00:58:22,890
Title companies are.

1394
00:58:25,525 --> 00:58:25,827
Those are the priorities of the

council.

1396
00:58:26,829 --> 00:58:28,898
So, thank you for the little

1397
00:58:28,898 --> 00:58:30,496
bit that you are giving us.

1398
00:58:30,496 --> 00:58:33,496
Because in the scheme of

1399
00:58:36,803 --> 00:58:37,307
things, it is not a lot.

1400
00:58:37,307 --> 00:58:38,806
