1
00:05:53,970 --> 00:06:03,670
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I will call to order the City Council meeting for October 28, 2025, and we will begin with the pledge of allegiance.

2
00:06:05,870 --> 00:06:15,950
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under the law.

3
00:06:15,950 --> 00:06:18,350
we're going to roll,

4
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:25,070
we're going to roll, we're going to roll.

5
00:06:25,850 --> 00:06:26,790
Mayor, my members here.

6
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:29,110
Mayor, we're going to roll.

7
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:29,310
Hello.

8
00:06:30,850 --> 00:06:31,910
Councillor Barrens.

9
00:06:31,970 --> 00:06:32,310
Good evening.

10
00:06:32,910 --> 00:06:33,430
Councillor freedom.

11
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:35,450
Councillor Gallegos.

12
00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:36,130
Good evening.

13
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:37,290
Councillor Sam Singh.

14
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:38,090
Good evening.

15
00:06:38,490 --> 00:06:39,590
And Councillor Toppier Vega.

16
00:06:40,370 --> 00:06:41,230
Mayor, we have a crown.

17
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:42,570
Thank you so much.

18
00:06:42,890 --> 00:06:44,970
All right, we'll begin tonight's meeting with public input.

19
00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:48,110
This is your opportunity to address the council on any topics.

20
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:50,310
You'll have five minutes to speak.

21
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:58,230
If you wish to speak up, please make sure that you fill out one of these speaker forms that you can access through the glass doors in the back.

22
00:06:58,570 --> 00:07:01,170
You can pass it over the click back and we'll get you on a list.

23
00:07:01,850 --> 00:07:03,950
You may also call in as well.

24
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:06,770
Please state your name and address before you speak as well.

25
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:08,110
So we have that for the record.

26
00:07:08,650 --> 00:07:10,490
Tonight we'll begin with Thomas Glenn.

27
00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:20,680
Good evening, everybody.

28
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Thanks again for your time.

29
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,280
and returning in the same topic as before,

30
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,820
which is basically the flight school noise

31
00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:30,460
coming out of Rock Mountain Airport,

32
00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:32,620
down in Jefferson County.

33
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,740
I wanted to kind of just play something,

34
00:07:36,820 --> 00:07:39,840
you probably can't see it well with the small piece of paper,

35
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,460
but the yellow lines on this piece of paper

36
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:49,160
are basically flights over Lafayette over a 10-minute period

37
00:07:49,160 --> 00:08:15,660
And this was on October 8th from 8.40 in the morning to 8.50 in the morning, and essentially 10 flights flying over Lafayette based upon the FAA change in the flight path having all the return flights going over 287 down to Jefferson County Airport.

38
00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:20,440
So I'm just going to let the rest of the guardians take a quick look at this.

39
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,020
So this is the issue.

40
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:30,680
We got noise over a lot, we got flight schools, bombarded in our city, accounting, our citizens,

41
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:38,680
with the flight noise and essentially we need to take proactive measures to try to get this

42
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:39,320
to stop.

43
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:47,300
We're affecting our children, we got three schools right in that flight zone, we got the elementary school,

44
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:53,120
we got the middle school, we got the high school, then we're getting hit with that, we got the citizens.

45
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,240
And we also had the wildlife.

46
00:08:56,140 --> 00:09:02,440
Last time I was here, I submitted a picture of Negol on a power pole with the plane right above it.

47
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:09,720
We got Osprey, I've been over up on a colleague, they're hovering above trying to do some

48
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,060
fishing and the planes are coming through and then the Osprey disperse when we got these

49
00:09:15,060 --> 00:09:16,220
airplanes coming overhead,

50
00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:22,100
there's other wildlife that are impacted as well. And that's not

51
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:28,360
to mention the impact of the recreational and open space users when we have constant noise

52
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:36,360
going over the city. This is not a one-off picture. This is happening if not daily, very frequently

53
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:44,660
as far as what the noise. So, I know there's an election coming up. There'll be some new members,

54
00:09:45,340 --> 00:09:50,980
maybe some measures, and other things that are going to be following in sequence as that goes.

55
00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:57,480
There's probably a few things going on after this time. And so, again, asking for action.

56
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,440
Don't let the subject fall off the radar.

57
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:02,480
We want to keep on top of it.

58
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,640
We got to act now and not wait until further down the road

59
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,200
because the longer this trend goes on,

60
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:12,440
the harder it's going to get to get adjusted,

61
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600
both with the FAA, Jefferson County

62
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,700
and the public entities involved in the situation.

63
00:10:24,020 --> 00:10:26,960
The other thing, if you haven't seen it already,

64
00:10:27,180 --> 00:10:30,620
there was a news story by CBS News

65
00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:37,520
where they had Boulder County is one of the most dangerous air spaces in the whole country.

66
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:45,620
Okay, and that's because we have all these airports within the county, flight schools, planes flying

67
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:54,880
in between the flight schools and just last week, crash at Erie during some of that heavy wind days

68
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:03,140
two people died. They were practicing, their attention goes, and the windy conditions, and so again,

69
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:09,580
you know, it's just a matter of time before one of those ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time,

70
00:11:10,260 --> 00:11:16,740
and it's more people on the ground. So that's all I have for now. I appreciate your time. Thank you.

71
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:22,760
and everybody, please speak up if you are concerned with the issue.

72
00:11:24,020 --> 00:11:26,160
More representation is welcome.

73
00:11:26,540 --> 00:11:28,520
So thank you. First, thank you so much.

74
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,820
Okay, next up we have Karen Norbeck.

75
00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:43,180
Karen Norbeck, 800 East Geneseo. Good evening. In April of 2023, I stood here to speak

76
00:11:43,180 --> 00:11:46,560
about former city administrator Fritz Spray at his last meeting.

77
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:50,200
Council of Breaks was there on the Diaz as we're some of you.

78
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,260
I want to come back and talk about him again after learning of his passing.

79
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:58,860
I pulled out what I read back then and realized with a little editing, it's still applied.

80
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:00,660
So I'm going to read it again.

81
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:05,660
When former City Administrator Garry Kopaki left after 20 years, I was worried.

82
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:11,720
A new city administrator, Philophia, some totally new person running our city, this was not

83
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:12,320
good.

84
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:17,460
Then came the long wait as Council hired a company to do a nationwide search and do all

85
00:12:17,460 --> 00:12:22,080
behind the scenes work until there were two candidates that were introduced to the public during

86
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,220
a Q&A with the council. I sat in my usual seat at the back of the room as the first candidate

87
00:12:27,220 --> 00:12:33,320
came out. I was not impressed. Then Fritz walked out. Halfway through the interview, I whispered to

88
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,020
Vicki Euland. He's the one. He's hadn't showed us the better candidate. I remember I made a heart with

89
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:44,060
my hands to some of the castles when we were leaving the building. I went to the public meet and

90
00:12:44,060 --> 00:12:48,700
at the golf course clubhouse and got the chat was in for a while. We were supposed to fill out

91
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:54,120
some type of form and turn it in giving our feedback on the candidates. I didn't do that. I just

92
00:12:54,120 --> 00:13:00,100
went to the council's in the room and said, it's Fritz. That's my feedback. Pick Fritz. I'm luckily

93
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:05,880
for off-yath. That's what happened. The city administrator has a complex job that covers all aspects

94
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,260
of running a city. They need to be able to manage people, understand finances, planning, and land use.

95
00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:14,160
They have to be tuned into the essence of the city they run.

96
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:18,800
Be prepared to have a new council every two years and respond to residents' concerns.

97
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,380
But beyond all of that, they must have the type of personality that fits the town.

98
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Fritz had that in abundance, just talking to him for a short time and it shone through.

99
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:32,860
Because he brought all those skills to the table along with his personal style,

100
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,900
he was able to change our relationship with Erie and craft a global agreement with them,

101
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,840
something that didn't seem possible.

102
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:48,400
He finished what Gary started by adding the want to consent annual farm to our open space portfolio along with acres of farm land and the lows property.

103
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:57,180
He had to handle a pandemic and the cyber attack all while working to make changes to the staff by hiring new department heads and creating new positions.

104
00:13:57,820 --> 00:14:01,220
Let's not forget the discovery of what he called a smoking deal.

105
00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:06,040
Developers had due to our cash and loot water rates and the work done to change that.

106
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,420
During all this, the comprehensive plan of update was happening.

107
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:13,880
Early on, I knew I could contact Rich with concerns and issues and he would take the

108
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,980
time to listen and discuss them with me.

109
00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:19,160
That never wavered and I was so grateful for that.

110
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,220
I got some laughs when I sent it that meeting that the best thing he did was to get new chairs

111
00:14:24,220 --> 00:14:27,360
for those of us who spent a lot of time sitting in this chamber.

112
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,940
All kidding aside though, he was a perfect hire at the right time in the council that made

113
00:14:31,940 --> 00:14:34,160
that decision still deserves our thanks.

114
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:39,660
for its broader city many sets forwards and I still miss him. I watched closely and saw the

115
00:14:39,660 --> 00:14:44,680
transformation in real time. What he did make the Lafayette I love and even better place.

116
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,720
I finished speaking that night with one final request. Could he please leave a note in his office

117
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:57,980
telling the next person to just do whatever Karen wants. And with a laugh he said okay. I wasn't surprised

118
00:14:57,980 --> 00:14:59,800
to find out later, he did exact.

119
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:29,980
We need to talk about this later. We stayed in touch and he would send me updates on how he was doing and photographs. I have one of him and his husband Scott at a broadway performance of Chicago. My last memory of seeing him in person is a great one. Sitting in the red queen last year, drinking tea, talking about the city and the trips they were taking. The world just lost a special person and my heart goes out to Scott, his family, friends, and those on our city staff who worked close to the city.

120
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,180
Lastly with him. Thank you. Thank you.

121
00:15:35,950 --> 00:15:37,810
Next up, we have Ignacio Perez.

122
00:15:46,020 --> 00:15:51,980
One, my name is Ignacio Perez. I live on to 11 East Amistrate. Good evening Council members.

123
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,580
Thank you so much for the time to meet with us tonight and for allowing us to share this opportunity

124
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:59,360
with you all. Like I said, my name is Ignacio Perez and I serve as the Director for

125
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,460
Luffy Communities at Care, whereas many people know it. Luffy at CTC. Luffy CTC was founded in 2016

126
00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:11,740
who I first joined, to empower community members to identify and implement strategies, to prevent substance use among

127
00:16:11,740 --> 00:16:20,840
Lafay youth and make every youth in our community have access to resources, support, and advocacy needed for them to thrive.

128
00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:27,200
We'll make Lafay at CDC unique is that we don't identify solutions for youth, we identify solutions with youth.

129
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:33,060
And I have a few of those of you here tonight and can raise your hand and some of our coalition members as well.

130
00:16:33,820 --> 00:16:38,280
We meet once a month, always over dinner, and through subcommittees as needed, we have a

131
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,460
key leader board which includes trusted local partners, our previous chief of police, Chief

132
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:45,760
Bachelors, and hopefully our interim chief as well.

133
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,220
A sister, Carmen C.O., Susanne Crawford, and local school administrators.

134
00:16:50,020 --> 00:16:53,640
Past members include former Mayor Pro Tempest of the Reina and Council members of Chelsea

135
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,160
Bana, who helped guide our coalition systems level approach.

136
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,020
Since an inception, Boulder County Public Health has served as our background agency.

137
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:09,200
employing our staff, managing our finances, and contracting with the state through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment,

138
00:17:09,420 --> 00:17:14,540
otherwise known as CDPHE. However, the current structure is set to end June of 2026,

139
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,760
when the new elevating prevention in Colorado or epic program begins.

140
00:17:21,860 --> 00:17:29,620
So, why are we here tonight? The epic grant is a five year, $410,000 per year opportunity from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

141
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:32,880
It's designed to help communities like Lafayette build,

142
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:34,480
according to prevention systems,

143
00:17:34,940 --> 00:17:38,460
to address youth mental health, family connection, and substance use.

144
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:41,620
To be eligible, each community needs an administrative backbone.

145
00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:44,720
An organization of local government entity that can hold

146
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,860
the grant and contact with the state.

147
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,420
We originally approached Cistercarmic Community Center to explore that role.

148
00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:53,580
Cistercarmic strongly supported our coalition and applying the grant

149
00:17:53,580 --> 00:17:54,380
for the grant.

150
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Unfortunately, we're unable to take on the opportunity

151
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,600
because they were responding to snap funding cuts and the growing demand for direct relief

152
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,160
services.

153
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:06,500
That is why we're here tonight to ask that City Council and that a lot of City

154
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:09,700
Luffy at serve as our backbone and official applicant for this grant.

155
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:14,100
We understand that this is a last minute request, but that's only because we have to pivot

156
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:15,300
from sister promise and decision.

157
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,540
We're passionate about this work and we simply need the City to give us a chance.

158
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,500
And for you to all to believe in the coalition and the youth and families who drive it.

159
00:18:26,910 --> 00:18:29,790
So, here's what this part of looks like.

160
00:18:30,010 --> 00:18:33,350
The city of Lafayette would be listed as the official applicant and backbone for this organization.

161
00:18:34,110 --> 00:18:39,990
The city would complete a one-time financial risk assessment, signed the contract with CDPHE if the grant weren't to be awarded,

162
00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:42,670
and received 50% of that indirect rate.

163
00:18:43,150 --> 00:18:48,770
Roughly about $61,500 per year, to cover any administrative overhead.

164
00:18:48,770 --> 00:18:54,530
Bridges of Opportunity, led by the Director and the McCullough, a trusted local nonprofit

165
00:18:54,530 --> 00:18:59,070
would handle all day-to-day fiscal and administrative work, including reimbursements, payroll,

166
00:18:59,250 --> 00:19:00,430
accounting, and compliance.

167
00:19:01,870 --> 00:19:05,830
They would also serve as my direct administrative supervised, ensuring fiscal accountability

168
00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:07,810
and compliance with CDPHG.

169
00:19:08,250 --> 00:19:12,950
Lafay CTC would continue to lead all programmatic work, building partnerships, running

170
00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:19,870
initiatives and measuring outcomes. In short, the city holds the grant, bridges of opportunity

171
00:19:19,870 --> 00:19:26,210
manages to work, and CTC, our coalition delivers the impact. This structure ensures

172
00:19:26,210 --> 00:19:33,230
full transparency and strong oversight while keeping the workload manageable and minimal for

173
00:19:33,230 --> 00:19:39,470
the city of Lafayette. In order to make this happen, we would propose a light touch accountability

174
00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:44,730
30 to 45 minute monthly by monthly check-ins with Bridges of Opportunity and I,

175
00:19:46,370 --> 00:19:49,930
quarterly one-patreon financial snapshots from Bridges of Opportunity summarizing funds

176
00:19:49,930 --> 00:19:54,270
and how they're spent in the reimbursement process, and then one annual review to present

177
00:19:54,270 --> 00:20:00,410
impact data, financial updates and evaluation findings to city council. This gives a city visibility

178
00:20:00,410 --> 00:20:05,750
without any administrative burden. Through this grant, we implement, we would implement two

179
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:09,330
complementary programs that strengthen families and youth.

180
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:13,490
Number one, the strengthening families program, an evidence-based model that helps parents

181
00:20:13,490 --> 00:20:15,410
in youth build communication, trust, and resilience.

182
00:20:16,550 --> 00:20:21,150
Number two, our locally created, especially when I hope it is, a youth driven program that

183
00:20:21,150 --> 00:20:25,530
builds belonging, leadership, and pro social connection, especially for underrepresented

184
00:20:25,530 --> 00:20:27,830
and underserved youth in our community.

185
00:20:28,670 --> 00:20:32,650
Together they will create a two-generation prevention approach that supports both young people

186
00:20:32,650 --> 00:20:33,390
and their families.

187
00:20:33,390 --> 00:20:35,950
We will track outcomes using data from the Healthy Kids

188
00:20:35,950 --> 00:20:38,730
Colorado Survey, attendance metrics, and coalition

189
00:20:38,730 --> 00:20:41,750
designed surveys along with required programming tracking

190
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:42,190
measures.

191
00:20:42,830 --> 00:20:45,370
We're proud to work alongside trust community partners.

192
00:20:46,270 --> 00:20:49,310
I know I have one second left, but thank you all so much for your time.

193
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:51,210
Again, we are deeply rooted in Lafayette.

194
00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:52,610
We want this to stay in Lafayette.

195
00:20:53,010 --> 00:20:54,090
Thank you all so much for your consideration.

196
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:54,910
Of course.

197
00:20:55,150 --> 00:20:56,070
Thank you so much for your share.

198
00:20:57,930 --> 00:20:58,750
All right.

199
00:21:00,410 --> 00:21:03,370
Well, that is all the bigger forms that I'm seeing for tonight.

200
00:21:03,370 --> 00:21:05,310
I'm also not seeing any dollars online.

201
00:21:05,790 --> 00:21:08,870
Are there any other members in person that wish to speak during this time?

202
00:21:12,380 --> 00:21:15,060
All right, seeing none and seeing no colors online, either.

203
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,300
I will close public input.

204
00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:21,580
And just so you all wear those of you that are new to our city council meetings.

205
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,960
Although we don't do a Q&A during public comment if you wish to hear a response from your comments.

206
00:21:27,220 --> 00:21:30,720
You may wait till these very end of the meeting or council comments when we bring it up.

207
00:21:30,980 --> 00:21:35,080
Or you may have a member of staff or the city council reach out to you at a later point.

208
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:40,140
But otherwise, you know, we have other businesses to take care of tonight, so you're

209
00:21:40,140 --> 00:21:45,180
more than welcome to stick around for that or head out at any point that you wish.

210
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:46,140
Thank you.

211
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:48,940
All right, moving forward to the consensus agenda.

212
00:21:49,540 --> 00:21:55,020
We have several items, including item A, October 14, 2020, 25 city council meeting minutes.

revitalization area.

228
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,060
And that's all, any items like council would like to publish.

229
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:36,580
Nope.

230
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:38,440
I moved it for a bit as an agenda.

231
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:39,420
Second.

232
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,480
All right, we have a motion to second on that.

233
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:42,440
So I need for the discussion.

234
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,720
Are all those of you who say aye?

235
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,960
Are there any opposed?

236
00:22:47,420 --> 00:22:48,140
None opposed.

237
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:49,440
That passes unanimous.

238
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Thank you.

239
00:22:51,340 --> 00:22:51,580
Okay.

240
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,360
On to proclamations for tonight.

241
00:22:53,460 --> 00:22:54,640
We have one proclamation.

242
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,140
This is item G.

243
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,280
Extra mile day for November 1st,

00:22:59,340 --> 00:22:59,380
2025.

Councillor Gallagos.

246
00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:02,260
Where is this?

247
00:23:02,260 --> 00:23:07,600
The city of Lafayette is a community that acknowledges that a special vibrancy exists within

248
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:13,460
the entire community when its individual residents collectively go the extra mile in personal

249
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:16,140
effort, volunteerism and service.

250
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,700
And whereas the city of Lafayette is a community that encourages its residents to maximize

251
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:27,500
their personal contributions to the community by giving themselves wholeheartedly and

00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:34,760
total effort, commitment, and conviction to their individual ambitions, family, friends, and

253
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:40,320
community. And whereas the city of Lafayette is a community that chooses to shine a light

254
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:46,800

255
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:52,420
in order to make a difference and lift up fellow members of their community. And whereas

256
00:23:52,420 --> 00:24:01,420
the city of Lafayette acknowledges the mission of extra mile America to create 550 extra mile cities

257
00:24:01,420 --> 00:24:08,020
in America and is proud to support extra mile day on November 1st, 2025.

258
00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:14,180
Now they are for the mayor and city council of the city of Lafayette Colorado do here

259
00:24:14,180 --> 00:24:21,860
by proclaim November 1st, 2025 to be extra mile day and encourage individuals in the community

260
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:27,980
to take the time to not only go the extra mile in their own lives, but to also acknowledge

261
00:24:27,980 --> 00:24:33,860
all those who are inspirational in their efforts and commitments to make their organizations,

262
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,680
families, communities, countries, or worlds a better place.

263
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:41,280
So moved.

264
00:24:43,020 --> 00:24:43,260
Second.

265
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:44,380
All right.

266
00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:48,200
Motion and second on that proclamation in any comments or discussion.

267
00:24:51,010 --> 00:24:52,650
Thank you very much.

268
00:24:52,650 --> 00:24:55,910
I can't help but recognize the people sitting in the room.

269
00:24:56,910 --> 00:24:59,510
Thank you for the extra miles that you go.

270
00:25:00,090 --> 00:25:03,530
I'm trying to think of a list of names and I can't name everybody,

271
00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:05,170
but the city's amazing.

272
00:25:05,870 --> 00:25:08,990
The people who are here go the extra miles.

273
00:25:09,250 --> 00:25:12,650
I appreciate you coming in to tell council what you need to tell them.

274
00:25:13,630 --> 00:25:18,150
Do the work you are doing and continuing to live.

275
00:25:18,990 --> 00:25:23,730
I think what we would hope people would do in their lives and participate in their community

276
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:25,530
and take care of each other.

277
00:25:26,270 --> 00:25:30,810
So I just like to thank the residents of Lafayette for going there for a mile.

278
00:25:31,790 --> 00:25:32,170
Thank you.

279
00:25:32,210 --> 00:25:32,770
Appreciate that.

280
00:25:33,050 --> 00:25:34,210
I look at that.

281
00:25:34,510 --> 00:25:35,230
Any other comments?

282
00:25:36,550 --> 00:25:36,810
All right.

283
00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:38,070
We'll take a motion.

284
00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:39,770
We do have a motion actually.

285
00:25:39,770 --> 00:25:40,310
End of second.

286
00:25:40,550 --> 00:25:41,410
So we'll take a vote.

287
00:25:41,830 --> 00:25:43,310
All those in favor, please say aye.

288
00:25:44,270 --> 00:25:45,510
Are there any opposed?

289
00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:49,070
not opposed, that proclamation passes unanimously.

290
00:25:50,910 --> 00:25:52,930
All right, that brings us to presentations for tonight.

291
00:25:53,050 --> 00:25:58,410
We just have one, this is item H, this is introduction to the 2026 Lafayette Urban

292
00:25:58,410 --> 00:26:04,270
Renault Authority budget and an amendment to the 2025 Lafayette Urban Renault Authority budget.

293
00:26:04,270 --> 00:26:09,270
We have our economic development director here to get the conversation started.

294
00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:09,850
Great.

295
00:26:09,930 --> 00:26:10,890
Thank you, Mary and Council.

296
00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:14,010
I'm here tonight as the lower executive director.

297
00:26:14,010 --> 00:26:16,910
I've been wearing a couple of hats tonight, so I'll buckle up.

298
00:26:17,870 --> 00:26:22,270
All right, so tonight I'm going to be introducing our 26 budget, and also I'm ending

299
00:26:22,270 --> 00:26:23,830
our 25 budget for Laura.

300
00:26:25,230 --> 00:26:29,250
So a agenda for this evening, I'm going to go through the budget process and then jump

301
00:26:29,250 --> 00:26:33,890
into the budget overview of both the revenue, expenses, and the key initiatives and open

302
00:26:33,890 --> 00:26:35,150
up for questions and feedback.

303
00:26:36,530 --> 00:26:40,650
So before jumping in, I know that we've been talking about Laura winding down for a couple

304
00:26:40,650 --> 00:26:44,890
years now, but wanted to just remind everyone about where we are in this phase.

305
00:26:45,810 --> 00:26:51,070
So Laura was established in October 1999 as the lead revitalization entity for our downtown.

306
00:26:52,190 --> 00:26:56,650
And this past October in October 2024, our tax increment financing expired.

307
00:26:57,350 --> 00:27:03,610
And so with that, we went through the process of electing or voting for approval of a downtown

308
00:27:03,610 --> 00:27:05,390
development authority to take over that position.

309
00:27:05,570 --> 00:27:09,110
And so we're really in our final operational phase of Laura, and that's what this budget

310
00:27:09,110 --> 00:27:09,450
reflects.

311
00:27:09,450 --> 00:27:10,910
is really wind me down everything,

312
00:27:11,530 --> 00:27:14,210
expanding funds, transferring projects over to the city,

313
00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:15,190
or the DDI.

314
00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:19,450
And I also just found these really fun photos of what

315
00:27:19,450 --> 00:27:21,110
two buildings looked like in 1999,

316
00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:21,990
what they looked like today.

317
00:27:22,110 --> 00:27:24,110
And so a lot of really great work that has happened

318
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:26,590
in our downtown and good to reflect for a moment.

319
00:27:28,290 --> 00:27:31,150
So we're 2025 and 2026 budget process.

320
00:27:31,770 --> 00:27:35,030
So stay statute governs how special districts get there,

321
00:27:35,090 --> 00:27:35,730
but it's approved.

322
00:27:35,730 --> 00:27:42,330
And for our case with the Urban Renewal Authority, Laura will actually prove those budgets through resolutions,

323
00:27:43,030 --> 00:27:45,110
but we present those to counsel for feedback.

324
00:27:45,970 --> 00:27:51,630
And so on October 21st, I introduced the budget amendment and the draft budget for 26 to Laura tonight.

325
00:27:51,630 --> 00:27:54,470
I am presenting it for council feedback and discussion.

326
00:27:55,030 --> 00:27:59,830
And then on November 13th, I'll present the final budget to Laura and have a public hearing improving two resolutions,

327
00:28:00,210 --> 00:28:01,670
one for the amendment, and one for 26.

328
00:28:03,130 --> 00:28:05,210
So, I'll start with the 2025.

329
00:28:06,990 --> 00:28:12,610
States tattoo, you know, governs that if a special district is going to expand more funds

330
00:28:12,610 --> 00:28:14,850
increasingly budgeted, then they need to do an amendment.

331
00:28:15,670 --> 00:28:19,070
And for our 2025 budget, we collected additional property tax.

332
00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:21,470
This is because property taxes collected in a rears.

333
00:28:21,690 --> 00:28:25,750
And so when we did our original budget with our tip expiring in October, we weren't

334
00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:29,690
sure exactly how much property tax we would collect this upcoming year.

335
00:28:29,690 --> 00:28:33,390
And so this amendment just accurately reflects the additional property tax.

336
00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:38,530
So we stopped collecting sales tax tiff in October of last 2024.

337
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:42,970
But we collected an additional 900,000 for property tax.

338
00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:45,110
So this amendment reflects those additional funds.

339
00:28:46,470 --> 00:28:52,790
So for the expense budget, it's really meant to wind down a lot of initiatives.

340
00:28:52,890 --> 00:28:57,030
And so that's why we have the downtown development bucket as a majority of our budget.

341
00:28:57,030 --> 00:29:01,310
And so this just gives it a summary of where those funds are within our amendment.

342
00:29:02,330 --> 00:29:04,610
And then just reflecting in a little bit about the key initiative.

343
00:29:05,650 --> 00:29:07,790
So we're spending staff time for the wine down.

344
00:29:08,070 --> 00:29:11,930
We're continuing some of our core functions while the DDA really gets up and running.

345
00:29:12,270 --> 00:29:15,170
So that includes all ton marketing, our public parking lot program.

346
00:29:15,610 --> 00:29:20,810
And then we have a couple of IJs and cooperative agreements, which helps with this wine down.

347
00:29:21,190 --> 00:29:24,470
So as you just approved tonight through the consent agenda,

348
00:29:24,470 --> 00:29:27,730
That includes the 700-800 block streetscape project.

349
00:29:27,790 --> 00:29:35,430
This is designing construction of new streetscape improvements, lighting, public art, zero-skate landscaping

350
00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:40,830
on the 700-800 block of south-pulled groove, and then also new alleyway improvements, including

351
00:29:40,830 --> 00:29:44,970
paving and then storm drainage, which will be really great because we're seeing a lot of revitalization

352
00:29:44,970 --> 00:29:48,350
on that block with some new businesses over now, with peak to peak and clear.

353
00:29:49,530 --> 00:29:54,090
For one way North Public Road, this is related to Laura Parenting Funds for the Chase

354
00:29:54,090 --> 00:29:55,930
Prank parking lot.

355
00:29:56,590 --> 00:29:59,950
D-Day Start Funds are related to $2 million for Start Funds.

356
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:12,700
To help the DEA get up and running for the first five years. And then the South Florida road revitalization project is also a cooperative agreement you've approved in the consent agenda related to doing an error plan, small business support and district implementation.

357
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,540
And so those are the big things that we are working towards this year and this budget reflects that.

358
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:28,700
So for 2020, six, looking forward. We have no new revenues. So our last, this is our last year collecting property tax.

359
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:34,860
The revenues reflected in the budget in your packet does not show any additional revenues and then for the expenses

360
00:30:34,860 --> 00:30:38,560
This is really meant to be the completion of Laura hopefully

361
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:48,000
We still have two properties that we need to dispose of and so this next coming year is really meant to wind down the transfer of remaining assets

362
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:54,860
Selling those additional two properties and so you'll see that you know our budget really shrinks in

363
00:30:54,860 --> 00:30:57,300
2026 just with hoping that

364
00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:00,700
will be able to wrap everything up in the 2020-06.

365
00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:03,820
So, short and sweet, but, you know,

366
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,240
tonight I'm here to present the budget and getting the comments,

367
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,100
they're going to need feedback.

368
00:31:08,660 --> 00:31:10,880
And then, like I said, I'll be presenting this budget

369
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,440
for final approval for two resolutions in a public hearing

370
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,660
on November 13th, before.

371
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,280
So, happy to turn back to the mayor

372
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,400
for any questions or feedback.

373
00:31:20,220 --> 00:31:21,860
Great, thank you so much for that presentation.

374
00:31:22,620 --> 00:31:24,440
You all looked counsel to see if anyone has questions,

375
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,520
feedback thoughts on the presentation,

376
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,620
And what's been presented?

377
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:30,640
Councilor Regent.

378
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,460
So we have a health and reserve every year,

379
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,960
which normally is great, right?

380
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,700
We should have a reserve.

381
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,900
Why do we have reserve for the end of 2026?

382
00:31:42,940 --> 00:31:44,500
Why would we need that in the butt?

383
00:31:44,660 --> 00:31:45,600
Am I reading this correctly?

384
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:46,700
Looking at the...

385
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,300
So if we look at the budget,

386
00:31:52,980 --> 00:31:55,500
the available fund balance ending,

387
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:57,600
all the way over here would be zero.

388
00:31:58,420 --> 00:32:04,180
So the 300, 380, 10,000 is just what we plan to spend.

389
00:32:04,460 --> 00:32:06,240
So we wouldn't have any more fun balance.

390
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,600
There is, oh, the total reserves.

391
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,340
That is, sorry.

392
00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:13,820
That is related to loans that Laura has provided

393
00:32:13,820 --> 00:32:16,520
to different businesses and property owners and towns.

394
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,680
And so until those loans are forgiven or exhausted,

395
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,660
we hold those on the books as a promissory and de-attrust.

396
00:32:22,940 --> 00:32:23,140
Okay.

397
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:24,180
Yes, sorry about that.

398
00:32:24,220 --> 00:32:24,640
Thank you.

399
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,320
He

400
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,760
said, oh, that's it.

401
00:32:31,540 --> 00:32:33,280
Other councillors, Councillor Barnes.

402
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:34,180
Thank you, Mayor.

403
00:32:35,260 --> 00:32:39,640
Just like to say, being on the council representative on the downtown development authority

404
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:46,680
and having heard this process start and some of them major concerns like parking issues,

405
00:32:46,940 --> 00:32:49,480
the fund balance, how do we get the DEF and running.

406
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:55,280
Just like to say, this is what's happening is what we were hoping would happen

407
00:32:55,280 --> 00:33:03,220
as far as the handshakes between learn the DDA and that's surprising nine hundred k at the end.

408
00:33:04,140 --> 00:33:11,400
That was, that's pleasant and unexpected. What do you say now to it? No. So I, from what I see,

409
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:18,680
we're progressing just as we wanted to progress and hopefully we can conclude with those last two

410
00:33:20,180 --> 00:33:22,840
what what are these to finish and then that yeah we're going to give

411
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:29,440
that yeah that's all I have thank you any other comments or questions

412
00:33:30,540 --> 00:33:36,660
I just want to quickly recognize the Lord and thank you Dr. Keating for all

413
00:33:36,660 --> 00:33:40,020
that you've done for Laura I don't know if you'll be coming before Council

414
00:33:40,020 --> 00:33:44,700
and Ricardo Solora so I just wanted to acknowledge that and all that the Laura has

415
00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:46,460
and for our community.

416
00:33:47,740 --> 00:33:49,300
So thank you so much.

417
00:33:49,660 --> 00:33:51,040
Thank you.

418
00:33:51,060 --> 00:33:51,800
Thank you.

419
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,380
All right, I think that's all for us.

420
00:33:54,740 --> 00:33:55,400
Thank you.

421
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,480
Thank you so much.

422
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,340
OK, so that brings us to now regular business.

423
00:34:02,020 --> 00:34:04,340
We have a few items here.

424
00:34:05,220 --> 00:34:06,720
We're going to begin with item I.

425
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:09,800
This is a public hearing for resolution number

426
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,040
2021, 365 to 63, making certain findings of fact,

427
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,920
regarding the proposed annexation of property located

428
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,140
at the southwest corner of a Raffa Hill Road in 2007.

429
00:34:19,700 --> 00:34:21,500
I look at in Bullock County, Colorado.

430
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,880
For September, as noted in the day of the cameras in September 19,

431
00:34:27,980 --> 00:34:29,680
the 22nd October, they're not to protect.

432
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:32,360
This resolution, just so the public is aware,

433
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,600
this resolution, the resolution for this item,

434
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:42,340
was revised on October 27, 2025, that 232 p.m.

435
00:34:42,340 --> 00:34:48,180
We had to make a slide of judgment to that, and so we just wanted to make that clear before we get started.

436
00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:51,700
So we have our planning and building director here to get us started. Thanks.

437
00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:57,160
Good evening, Mayor and Senator Council. As stated, tonight's application is a range of

438
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:05,220
off the yet annexation. Number two, and it's an eligibility hearing. The resolution associated is 2563.

439
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,220
As a public hearing, the agenda is as follows.

440
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,480
I'll have an introduction, the applicant is here,

441
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,080
Kensington Development Partners, we'll have their presentation,

442
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,020
and then we'll come back for staff analysis, council questions,

443
00:35:21,700 --> 00:35:23,420
and then public input, public testimony,

444
00:35:24,020 --> 00:35:26,140
before the public hearing portion of the meeting is closed,

445
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,780
and then we'll move on to a council discussion and then ask for a motion.

446
00:35:30,820 --> 00:35:38,200
So, the three basic steps required by the state for an annexation process are substantial compliance.

447
00:35:38,740 --> 00:35:45,060
Tonight's eligibility, hearing and determination, and then a final action at some point in the future.

448
00:35:45,420 --> 00:35:51,020
That substantial compliance meeting occurred after the petition was received on August 21.

449
00:35:51,700 --> 00:35:54,520
That hearing occurred last month on September 16.

450
00:35:54,520 --> 00:36:03,880
And then tonight's meeting is really to determine whether or not the parcel and question is eligible for annexation according to state statutes.

451
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:13,560
So given us a little context about where we are and how this relates and then also kind of speaking to what the mayor noted in terms of the update.

452
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:20,500
So the update to the agenda item was just kind of clarified that this is a series annexation.

453
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:29,420
We have the range of Lafayette annexation number one, which has gone through eligibility hearing and substantial compliance already earlier this year.

454
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,360
We are now looking at the range of Lafayette annexation number two.

455
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,220
And the reason that's a series annexation is that continuity requirement.

456
00:36:38,220 --> 00:36:41,600
You can see silo and westridge are in Lafayette.

457
00:36:42,620 --> 00:36:45,640
It, those are contiguous with the range of Lafayette number one.

458
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:56,840
Once the range of Lafayette number one is annexed then the continuity exists for the range of Lafayette number two and then the other clarification the reason that this hasn't done.

459
00:36:57,140 --> 00:37:06,260
All holistically was that the range of Lafayette used to be an eerie and that disconnected over the summer so until we knew that that was going to be able to be a part of that application.

460
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,580
The other piece was moving forward now we're kind of put a pause on it in order for that second piece to catch up.

461
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:20,480
So, the map on the left is the land use map from our comprehensive plan.

462
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:28,780
The personal question is this rectangle here and that red designation clarifies that our land use

463
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:33,620
Comprehensive plan and the land use plan use designation map, the comprehensive plan from 2021

464
00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:36,080
Designated this as adaptable commercial.

465
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:42,460
So that just suggests that Lafayette was anticipating this coming into the city at that time

466
00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:47,000
And then the global settlement agreement with Erie, which was mentioned earlier tonight,

467
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:57,740
also reflects this property as being within Lafayette's influence area and reflects a agreement that this property would also develop within Lafayette.

468
00:37:59,540 --> 00:38:03,760
So this is the kind of building on the annexation process.

469
00:38:03,780 --> 00:38:08,800
This is a little bit more substantial clarification of what that process is.

470
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,180
that also includes an annexation impact report.

471
00:38:11,340 --> 00:38:13,600
We're here at Thetel's Eubility hearing.

472
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:16,960
We'll move on to a concurrent review by staff

473
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,960
that includes outside referral agencies

474
00:38:19,780 --> 00:38:22,180
and we'll get into, and then eventually

475
00:38:22,180 --> 00:38:25,320
we get to the decision point and that's one action on this

476
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,280
is actually binding.

477
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,960
But that more complicated review process

478
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,860
that involves zoning, pd-plat and so far is outlined here.

479
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,160
We've gone over this in the past.

480
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,040
And this is just a kind of indicate

481
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,160
that this is how those all do uptailed together, how we require

482
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,220
rezoning application with annexation, and then how and when the

483
00:38:45,220 --> 00:38:49,880
PUD and plat application tie in, as far as not required as part of the

484
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:55,160
annexation process, but we are anticipating that the applicant will

485
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,820
fold that in at some point too, and then really the final binding decision

486
00:38:58,820 --> 00:39:01,900
occurs way at the end of the process.

487
00:39:03,780 --> 00:39:07,560
And so just to summarize, for the night, the annexation,

488
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:14,920
eligibility criteria, or outlined in CRS 312104, as well as the limitations

489
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,120
that are outlined in the 12 out of the revised statutes 312105.

490
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,560
And that's what will be presented tonight by the applicant, and then I'll give you

491
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,800
analysis at the end.

492
00:39:26,180 --> 00:39:30,280
But this, again, does not constitute final action by city council,

493
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,200
or represent the Council's position on the feasibility or desired probability of the annexation.

494
00:39:43,970 --> 00:39:45,310
Good afternoon, Council members.

495
00:39:45,590 --> 00:39:46,870
Good evening and should say.

496
00:39:47,810 --> 00:39:51,610
So, like Stephen said, this is specifically the range of LAPIA annexation number two.

497
00:39:51,670 --> 00:39:53,230
And you might, I know we've met already.

498
00:39:53,630 --> 00:39:54,170
You might introduce.

499
00:39:54,430 --> 00:39:54,770
Absolutely.

500
00:39:55,330 --> 00:39:55,670
Thank you.

501
00:39:55,890 --> 00:39:59,250
So, my name is Edgar Crocket with Kensington Development Partners.

502
00:39:59,990 --> 00:40:01,950
I also have Lindsay Lided here with me.

503
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:04,670
She's our land use attorney and should be going through,

504
00:40:04,670 --> 00:40:07,650
excuse me, some of the legalese that's Steven Reference

505
00:40:07,650 --> 00:40:11,530
on the actual annexation requirements and eligibility requirement.

506
00:40:12,390 --> 00:40:15,070
So I'll hit the project overview, a little bit of process

507
00:40:15,070 --> 00:40:18,270
and schedule, and then Lindsey will come up and hit that

508
00:40:18,270 --> 00:40:19,390
eligibility requirements.

509
00:40:21,090 --> 00:40:24,050
So like Steven said, right at the corner of a rap

510
00:40:24,050 --> 00:40:27,790
whole road in Highway 27, you can see the actual indicated

511
00:40:27,790 --> 00:40:30,010
parcel highlighted on the map.

512
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:32,950
And then again, Steven did a great job of hitting the fact

513
00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:39,890
that that large space to the south west is the range at Lafayette annexation number one.

514
00:40:40,850 --> 00:40:46,690
On to that point, this is a serial annexation in conjunction with that annexation number one.

515
00:40:47,050 --> 00:40:52,490
And so this parcel specifically is just under three and a half acres when you consider it as a hole

516
00:40:52,490 --> 00:41:01,890
between annexation number one and number two. It's just over 38 acres is what the project will be on the hole.

517
00:41:02,770 --> 00:41:10,850
So, as Stephen mentioned, September 16th, we had our annexation resolution to achieve substantial compliance.

518
00:41:11,810 --> 00:41:19,850
Tonight, we'll have our annexation eligibility hearing, and then in conjunction with that, since we did have the two annexations,

519
00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:28,950
we did restart the actual sketch plan process in order to have one cohesive project under the two annexation,

520
00:41:28,950 --> 00:41:32,190
in conjunction with the two annexation petitions.

521
00:41:33,010 --> 00:41:38,730
So the intent to develop period for the concept plan associated with this project is currently

522
00:41:38,730 --> 00:41:40,250
open now.

523
00:41:40,590 --> 00:41:47,870
So if any members of the public have comments that that concept plan is posted online and is

524
00:41:47,870 --> 00:41:50,330
open for public comment at this time.

525
00:41:50,990 --> 00:41:55,950
So still, still, the come, obviously is the sketch plan, which will be subsequent to that intent

526
00:41:55,950 --> 00:41:58,230
to develop period on the concept plan.

527
00:41:58,230 --> 00:42:03,950
Obviously, there's neighborhood meetings, planning commission and city council meetings associated with that

528
00:42:03,950 --> 00:42:08,850
step, as well as each subsequent step for the preliminary PLAT PUD, the final PLAT

529
00:42:08,850 --> 00:42:14,910
TUD and then ultimately the annexation final vote, where it becomes a binding annexation.

530
00:42:16,030 --> 00:42:22,530
And then we will also have the site plan, an architectural review for a number of elements

531
00:42:22,530 --> 00:42:28,030
within the project as a whole once we get through those planning and entitlement phases

532
00:42:28,030 --> 00:42:28,770
as well.

533
00:42:30,270 --> 00:42:32,550
So I'm Biden's yet to talk through the requirements.

534
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,360
Good evening, Council Mayor.

535
00:42:36,940 --> 00:42:38,500
As Edgar said, my name is Lindsay Lida.

536
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:40,840
I'm a land user attorney for Kensington,

537
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,580
helping with this annexation and entitlements.

538
00:42:44,580 --> 00:42:47,440
Through staff report tonight had a very thorough analysis

539
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:52,240
of the eligibility requirements and how this annexation satisfies those.

540
00:42:53,020 --> 00:42:57,620
I'm just going to quickly give a high level overview of how we're complying

541
00:42:57,620 --> 00:43:01,720
and why does the annexation, or this property is eligible for annexation?

542
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,960
So first, there is just one property owner here in the own the entire portion of the property.

543
00:43:08,620 --> 00:43:12,460
So we satisfy the Colorado Constitution requirement there.

544
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,940
And then a Steven mentioned as part of this serial annexation.

545
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:25,080
Once annexation number one is approved and annexed, then immediately after that, we'll have the second annexation.

546
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:32,540
And we will at that time be a 100% contiguous with Lafayette, so we exceed this one-six requirement.

547
00:43:34,980 --> 00:43:47,280
These requirements here relating to a community of interest with the property will be urban or will be urbanized and that the property is integrated or capable of being integrated with Lafayette.

548
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:53,800
Under the annexation statute, just by a finding that the property satisfies that one six to

549
00:43:53,800 --> 00:44:00,080
US requirement, that provides the basis for finding compliance with these three criteria.

550
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:07,320
In addition, as Stephen mentioned, this property has been planned to be annexed and developed within

551
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:16,220
of it. It's in the comprehensive plan, the infrastructure is available, so it satisfies all

552
00:44:16,220 --> 00:44:17,220
three of these requirements.

553
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,600
No property is divided as part of this annexation. We're taking

554
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:32,240
the entire parcel, again one owner, as part of this annexation, and there are no other pending

555
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:37,020
annexations for this property and it's not a part of any other municipality.

556
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,820
Finally, there's no impact to this school district.

557
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:48,240
The property, as I'm sure you passed often, it's certainly within, you know,

558
00:44:48,980 --> 00:44:54,460
near Lafayette, I guess not technically in yet, but so no issue with it being more than

559
00:45:01,780 --> 00:45:08,020
And that is our presentation this evening. If there's any questions, we're happy to answer. Thank you.

560
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:09,420
Thank you.

561
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:09,360
Thank you.

562
00:45:15,050 --> 00:45:21,890
So they've already gone through the 10 criteria that are outlined in those revised statutes, 104 and 105.

563
00:45:15,070 --> 00:45:21,810
So, they've already gone through the 10 criteria that outlined any of those revised statutes 104 and 105.

564
00:45:22,810 --> 00:45:31,670
104 is really the continuity and kind of ability to serve criteria. And then 105 is what's considered limitations.

565
00:45:22,810 --> 00:45:31,710
104 is really the continuity and kind of ability to serve criteria. And then 105 is what's considered limitations.

566
00:45:32,270 --> 00:45:36,870
and those are more like whether or not it is all of the property owners, whether or not

567
00:45:32,290 --> 00:45:37,090
and those are more like whether or not it is all of the property owners, whether or not we're

568
00:45:36,870 --> 00:45:40,330
we're subdividing property, whether or not we're taking a portion of a road and not all of

569
00:45:37,090 --> 00:45:40,730
subividing property, whether or not we're taking a portion of a road and not all of it.

570
00:45:40,330 --> 00:45:40,710
it.

571
00:45:40,750 --> 00:45:43,730
Those are all restrictions that kind of prevent us from eating, eating those requirements.

572
00:45:40,830 --> 00:45:43,750
Those are all restrictions that kind of prevent us from beating those requirements.

573
00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:50,250
But as outlined tonight and as summarized in the staff memo that you guys received, staffs

574
00:45:44,490 --> 00:45:52,590
But as outlined tonight and as summarized in the staff memo that you guys received, staffs also found that all of these criteria are the met.

575
00:45:50,250 --> 00:45:52,650
also found that all of these criteria are the met.

576
00:45:53,570 --> 00:45:57,230
So we had their pieces that are associated with the eligibility hearing.

577
00:45:53,570 --> 00:45:59,610
So we had a piece that are associated with the eligibility hearing, it's pretty involved because it's got state requirements.

578
00:45:57,510 --> 00:45:59,590
It's pretty involved because it's got state requirements.

579
00:45:59,590 --> 00:46:03,330
We had to have this meeting 30 to 60 days from the last meeting.

580
00:45:59,610 --> 00:46:03,350
We had to have this meeting 30 to 60 days from the last meeting.

581
00:46:03,530 --> 00:46:08,790
Tonight we're having it 41 days from the meeting in September, so we meet that requirement.

582
00:46:03,530 --> 00:46:07,210
Tonight we're having it 41 days from the meeting in September.

583
00:46:07,870 --> 00:46:08,770
So we meet that requirement.

584
00:46:09,470 --> 00:46:16,250
We also have to have a public notification for consecutive weeks and as the mayor stated earlier

585
00:46:09,490 --> 00:46:14,450
We also have to have a public notification for consecutive weeks.

586
00:46:14,950 --> 00:46:17,930
And as the mayor stated earlier in tonight's meeting,

587
00:46:16,250 --> 00:46:22,110
in tonight's meeting, we satisfied those with the dates that are outlined there and then we do

588
00:46:18,330 --> 00:46:21,010
we satisfied those with the dates that are outlined there.

589
00:46:21,510 --> 00:46:24,850
And then we do provide notice to all special districts including the school district.

590
00:46:22,110 --> 00:46:27,210
provide notice to all special districts including school district and we had to provide an

591
00:46:24,850 --> 00:46:29,730
and we had to provide an accession impact report that was delivered to both of the counties

592
00:46:27,210 --> 00:46:29,730
in fact report that was delivered to both of the counties

593
00:46:29,730 --> 00:46:32,090
before this application that's all been satisfied.

594
00:46:29,730 --> 00:46:30,690
for this application.

595
00:46:31,050 --> 00:46:32,050
That's all in satisfied.

596
00:46:32,870 --> 00:46:36,950
And then, written notice about the public hearing was mailed the property owners within

597
00:46:32,950 --> 00:46:35,290
And then written notice about the public hearing

598
00:46:35,290 --> 00:46:38,250
was mailed the property owners within 700 feet of the property

599
00:46:36,950 --> 00:46:41,850
700 feet of the property and signs were posted on all along all of the adjacent sites away.

600
00:46:38,250 --> 00:46:41,850
and signs were posted on 01 all of the adjacent sites away.

601
00:46:42,930 --> 00:46:50,130
So if resolution 2563 is passed tonight, you'll basically just be allowing the application to

602
00:46:42,970 --> 00:46:46,650
So if resolution 25, 63 years passed tonight,

603
00:46:47,370 --> 00:46:50,430
you'll basically just be allowing the application to proceed

604
00:46:50,130 --> 00:46:51,490
proceed through the process.

605
00:46:50,430 --> 00:46:53,910
through the process and then other associated development

606
00:46:51,490 --> 00:47:01,490
And then other associated development applications as outlined in that slide earlier will come back to buy a commission and city council as they get to that stage.

607
00:46:53,910 --> 00:46:56,370
applications as outlined in that slide earlier.

608
00:46:56,370 --> 00:47:01,430
will come back to buy a commission and city council as they get to that stage.

609
00:47:01,990 --> 00:47:07,270
And the public also importantly will have additional opportunities to comment on the annexation

610
00:47:01,990 --> 00:47:08,470
And the public also importantly will have additional opportunities to comment on the annexation and those other applications.

611
00:47:07,270 --> 00:47:08,450
and those other applications.

612
00:47:09,070 --> 00:47:11,170
And as mentioned just so that things don't get confused,

613
00:47:09,070 --> 00:47:14,530
And as mentioned just so that things don't get confused, we received intent to develop a portion.

614
00:47:11,890 --> 00:47:14,530
we received intent to develop a portion.

615
00:47:14,530 --> 00:47:17,430
So we don't fully have a schedule on application yet.

616
00:47:14,910 --> 00:47:17,430
So we don't fully have a sketch mine application yet.

617
00:47:17,430 --> 00:47:20,150
This is a pre-application or pre-subtle requirement.

618
00:47:17,430 --> 00:47:20,150
This is a pre-application or pre-subtitle requirement.

619
00:47:20,210 --> 00:47:22,470
We've got a pre-application meeting.

620
00:47:20,290 --> 00:47:24,370
We've had a pre-application meeting and then it follows with the intent to develop.

621
00:47:22,690 --> 00:47:24,390
And then it follows with the intent to develop.

622
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:31,050
So that was received last week and posted online that 10 day period started yesterday.

623
00:47:24,810 --> 00:47:28,530
That was received last week and posted online

624
00:47:28,530 --> 00:47:30,950
that 10 day period started yesterday.

625
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:37,410
So the public, you guys, get more detail on what that application is.

626
00:47:32,070 --> 00:47:37,470
So the public, you guys, gets more detail on what that application is.

627
00:47:37,490 --> 00:47:44,470
And we're expecting that that will advance the planning commission and city council for your consideration and feedback in the next couple of months.

628
00:47:37,490 --> 00:47:40,250
And we're expecting that that will advance the planning

629
00:47:40,250 --> 00:47:42,150
commission and city council for your consideration

630
00:47:42,150 --> 00:47:44,530
and feedback in the next couple of months.

631
00:47:46,030 --> 00:47:47,090
So that's it for my presentation.

632
00:47:46,130 --> 00:47:47,090
So that's it for my presentation.

633
00:47:47,310 --> 00:47:49,670
I'm here for questions and you guys have them.

634
00:47:47,330 --> 00:47:48,010
I'm here for questions.

635
00:47:48,270 --> 00:47:49,670
You guys have them.

636
00:47:50,470 --> 00:48:16,090
Yes, so we'll start with council questions now before we get some public testimony and just to point of clarification for members of the public or members of council need be once again this is a annexation eligibility hearing and so we're just double checking the criteria that's been that's been put forward by the state of Colorado under revised

637
00:47:50,670 --> 00:47:52,670
Yes, so we'll start with Council of Questions

638
00:47:52,670 --> 00:47:54,990
now before we get to public testimony.

639
00:47:57,510 --> 00:47:59,730
And just to point of clarification for members

640
00:47:59,730 --> 00:48:01,990
of the public or members of Council of need

641
00:48:01,990 --> 00:48:05,710
be, once again, this is a annexation

642
00:48:05,710 --> 00:48:07,150
eligibility hearing.

643
00:48:08,010 --> 00:48:11,070
And so we're just double checking the criteria

644
00:48:11,850 --> 00:48:20,370
that's been put forward by the seat of Colorado under revised 31-12-104 and 105.

645
00:48:16,810 --> 00:48:25,070
31, dash 12, dash 104, and 105, and senior if this is eligible for annexation, we are not annexing

646
00:48:21,270 --> 00:48:26,050
And seeing if this is eligible for annexation, we're not annexing any property tonight.

647
00:48:25,070 --> 00:48:26,070
any property tonight.

648
00:48:26,290 --> 00:48:30,290
That will come at a later date depending on how the year goes tonight, but are there any questions

649
00:48:26,310 --> 00:48:28,670
That'll come at a later date depending on how the year goes tonight.

650
00:48:29,510 --> 00:48:32,370
But are there any questions from Council about any of those eligibility requirements?

651
00:48:30,290 --> 00:48:33,550
from Council about any of the eligibility requirements or what's been presented in the front

652
00:48:32,370 --> 00:48:34,430
Or what's been presented in front of us today?

653
00:48:33,550 --> 00:48:34,590
of us today?

654
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:36,440
Thank you.

655
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:47,680
In the reason this was not a part of the range number one annexation was because it was owned by a separate it was currently within so I wouldn't have that one of those

656
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:43,940
The reason this was not a part of the range number one annexation was because it was owned

657
00:48:43,940 --> 00:48:44,760
by separate.

658
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:52,040
It was currently within, so I wouldn't have met one of those, one of that called limitation

659
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,180
Followed they called

660
00:48:51,740 --> 00:48:59,040
Limitation requirements because it was technically with an area, so I had to get disconnected before we did we could process it's an application. So

661
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,280
requirements, because it was technically within areas.

662
00:48:54,460 --> 00:48:57,820
So I had to get disconnected before we could, we could process this application.

663
00:48:58,980 --> 00:48:59,820
So, is that make sense?

664
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,040
So I make sense. Yes, thank you

665
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:01,000
Yes, thank you.

666
00:49:02,140 --> 00:49:03,020
Any other questions?

667
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:02,980
Any other questions?

668
00:49:05,420 --> 00:49:06,080
No questions?

669
00:49:05,540 --> 00:49:07,700
No questions for now

670
00:49:07,380 --> 00:49:07,700
For now.

671
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:17,140
All right, this is a public hearing, so if there are any members of the public that wish to speak regarding this topic, you may come up and do so now.

672
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,060
All right, this is a public hearing.

673
00:49:10,500 --> 00:49:15,980
So if there are any members of the public that wish to speak regarding this topic, you may come

674
00:49:15,980 --> 00:49:16,840
up and do so now.

675
00:49:21,580 --> 00:49:28,580
I'm not seeing any speaker forms in front of me or am I seeing any folks that want to speak in person.

676
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:28,920
I'm not seeing any speaker forms in front of me, nor am I seeing any folks that want to speak in person.

677
00:49:29,740 --> 00:49:34,660
I'm checking online now as well and I do not see any callers.

678
00:49:29,780 --> 00:49:37,720
I'm checking online now as well, and I do not see any callers, so if that we will close public input, thank you.

679
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,920
So with that we will close public input. Thank you.

680
00:49:42,110 --> 00:49:48,410
Okay, so now Council has opportunity to discuss this prenaissance application application.

681
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:47,900
So now it comes as opportunity to discuss this pre-analysis application.

682
00:49:49,900 --> 00:49:51,580
So, and then if not, we'll look at the motion.

683
00:49:49,950 --> 00:49:55,710
So in that if not, we'll take a motion. So I just want to see if there any items that folks would like to bring it up to us.

684
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,320
So I just want to see if there are any items that close that I could bring up.

685
00:50:01,460 --> 00:50:04,500
And then we'll take a motion if, as long as it was ready.

686
00:50:01,690 --> 00:50:04,590
Then we'll take a motion if that sounds as ready.

687
00:50:09,260 --> 00:50:21,620
I move to approve resolution number 2025 to 63 making certain findings of fact regarding the proposed annexation of property located at the southwest corner of Rapo road in U.S. Highway 287 located in

Okay.

709
00:50:49,540 --> 00:50:52,200
Okay. Going to move right along.

710
00:50:50,910 --> 00:50:55,370
I'm going to move right along to item J.

711
00:50:53,700 --> 00:51:00,980
So item J, this is first reading of ordinance number 22.

712
00:50:57,130 --> 00:51:01,010
This is first reading of ordinance number 22.

00:51:01,390 --> 00:51:07,750
Series 225, a many chapter 86 of collective bargaining for firefighters and chapter 87

714
00:51:01,460 --> 00:51:06,120
So it's 225, a many chapter 86 of collective bargaining for firefighters.

to allow for collective bargaining agreements

718
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,080
agreements with terms of less than three years.

719
00:51:12,470 --> 00:51:15,070
with terms of less than three years.

720
00:51:15,690 --> 00:51:18,650
Our deputy city managers here to get us started.

721
00:51:15,700 --> 00:51:18,680
Our deputy city managers here to get us started.

722
00:51:19,150 --> 00:51:20,710
Good evening, Mayor, and see Council.

723
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:27,100
We're here to talk about the ordinance pertaining to police and fire collective bargaining and the terms of bargaining.

724
00:51:20,890 --> 00:51:23,290
We're here to talk about the ordinance pertaining

725
00:51:23,290 --> 00:51:25,830
to police and fire collective bargaining

726
00:51:25,830 --> 00:51:27,150
and the terms of bargaining.

727
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:28,530
I'm going to give you a little bit of background

728
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:31,900
I'm going to give you a little bit of background and go through some ordinance language and motion language.

729
00:51:29,170 --> 00:51:32,230
and go through some ordinance language and motion language.

730
00:51:33,270 --> 00:51:36,030
I do want to recognize that we have Sergeant Tyler Mayner here.

731
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,100
I do want to recognize that we have Sergeant Tyler Mayner here.

732
00:51:36,030 --> 00:51:38,810
He is our lead for the FOP

733
00:51:36,380 --> 00:51:46,440
He is our lead for the FOP and fire the IFA representative intended to come at the last meeting but was unable to make it see them.

734
00:51:38,810 --> 00:51:45,930
and fire the IAFF representative intended to come at the last meeting but was unable to make

735
00:51:45,930 --> 00:51:51,190
it see them, but we have kind of support from both parties, all parties involved and we

736
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,740
but we have kind of support from both parties,

737
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,440
all parties involved and we've worked on this together

738
00:51:51,190 --> 00:51:56,690
worked on this together with the city's release. So in 2025 we engaged in collective bargaining

739
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:53,380
with the city of the country.

740
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,740
So in 2025, we engaged in collective bargaining

741
00:51:56,690 --> 00:52:03,070
with the fire department, represented by IAFF, 4620 and with the Lafayette Police Department,

742
00:51:56,740 --> 00:51:57,960
with the fire department,

743
00:51:58,700 --> 00:52:00,840
represented by AFF, 4620,

744
00:52:01,180 --> 00:52:03,060
and with the Lafayette Police Department,

745
00:52:03,070 --> 00:52:11,170
the FOP Lodge 3. This lies in sections 86 and 87 of the code, and currently in the code we

746
00:52:03,700 --> 00:52:05,280
the FOP Lodge III.

747
00:52:06,220 --> 00:52:09,260
This lies in sections 86 and 87 of the code,

748
00:52:09,780 --> 00:52:10,940
and currently in the code,

749
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,840
we require a three year collective bargaining agreement.

750
00:52:11,170 --> 00:52:16,370
require a three-year collective bargaining agreement. So during the process we had several

751
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:15,680
So during the process,

752
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:22,940
we had several conversations that led us to really discuss the kind of terms that are in the code

753
00:52:16,370 --> 00:52:24,130
conversations that led us to really discuss the terms that are in the code and we all need to

754
00:52:22,940 --> 00:52:27,520
and we all need to leave read that an update to this section of code would be beneficial to our

755
00:52:24,130 --> 00:52:28,550
leave read that an update to the section of code would be beneficial to our future collective bargaining

756
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,060
future collective bargaining efforts.

757
00:52:28,550 --> 00:52:29,050
efforts.

758
00:52:31,430 --> 00:52:34,570
So the purpose of this change would be to change the language.

759
00:52:31,470 --> 00:52:35,350
So the purpose of this change would be to change the language. It's a pretty simple

760
00:52:34,590 --> 00:52:39,610
It's a pretty simple change in the code to up to three years and so instead of requiring a three year

761
00:52:35,350 --> 00:52:40,510
change in the code to up to three years. And so instead of requiring a three year bargaining

762
00:52:39,610 --> 00:52:44,950
bargaining agreement we would have up to three years so it could be one year or two year or

763
00:52:40,510 --> 00:52:46,210
agreement, we would have up to three years. So it could be one year or two year or three year agreement.

764
00:52:44,950 --> 00:52:51,570
three year agreement. We found that this that we had some challenges in addressing economic

765
00:52:47,390 --> 00:52:52,930
We found that this that we had some challenges in addressing economic fluctuations. And this would

766
00:52:51,570 --> 00:52:57,070
fluctuations and this would give us some flexibility in kind of a better understanding economic

767
00:52:52,930 --> 00:52:59,330
give us some flexibility in kind of better understanding economic fluctuations, particularly over

768
00:52:57,070 --> 00:53:03,670
fluctuations particularly over the past few years with collective bargaining with the IFF.

769
00:52:59,330 --> 00:53:06,330
past few years with collective bargaining with the IFF, this has been a real challenge with the

770
00:53:03,670 --> 00:53:10,550
this has been a real challenge with the kind of economic conditions, and this will also help us

771
00:53:06,330 --> 00:53:12,790
kind of economic conditions. And this will also help us address the kind of lack of precision

772
00:53:10,550 --> 00:53:16,050
address the kind of lack of precision that we found in the market forecasting over the longer time

773
00:53:12,790 --> 00:53:17,610
that we found in the market forecasting over the longer time horizon of a three year period.

774
00:53:16,050 --> 00:53:22,010
horizon of a three year period. We have had lots of conversations about re-openers and five letters

775
00:53:18,790 --> 00:53:23,090
We have had lots of conversations about re-openers and side letters and that type of thing,

776
00:53:22,010 --> 00:53:27,370
in that type of thing, and it's nice if we can have a collective bargaining agreement that we can

777
00:53:23,610 --> 00:53:28,750
and it's nice if we can have a collective bargaining agreement that we can flow follow through the terms

778
00:53:27,370 --> 00:53:32,870
flow follow through the terms without those types of kind of five letters. So we all agree to that.

779
00:53:28,750 --> 00:53:31,330
without those types of kind of side letters.

780
00:53:31,890 --> 00:53:32,890
So we all agreed to that.

781
00:53:32,870 --> 00:53:43,130
So this is really also aligned with bargaining agreements that we looked at in almost all other communities in our area that are more two-year bargaining terms that allow for flexibility.

782
00:53:32,930 --> 00:53:35,670
So this is really also aligned with bargaining agreements

783
00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:38,870
that we looked at in almost all other communities

784
00:53:38,870 --> 00:53:41,950
in our area than are more two-year bargaining terms

785
00:53:41,950 --> 00:53:43,130
or that allow for flexibility.

786
00:53:43,990 --> 00:53:46,450
We didn't see any other three-year terms.

787
00:53:43,990 --> 00:53:46,470
We didn't see any other three-year terms.

788
00:53:47,410 --> 00:53:49,490
So this is a pretty minor change, as I mentioned,

789
00:53:47,410 --> 00:53:57,610
So this is a pretty minor change, as I mentioned, it amends chapter 86, 15, and 87, 15 in the firefighter and police officer code respectively.

790
00:53:49,830 --> 00:53:55,950
it amends chapter 86, 15, and 87, 15 in the firefighter

791
00:53:55,950 --> 00:53:57,590
and police officer code respectively.

792
00:53:57,590 --> 00:54:06,110
and this, basically, changes it to a duration of after three years instead of a duration of

793
00:53:57,610 --> 00:54:06,740
and this basically changes it to a duration of up to three years instead of a duration of three years.

794
00:54:06,110 --> 00:54:14,170
three years. So, we have motion language before you, for ordinance number 22, series 225.

795
00:54:09,070 --> 00:54:13,610
So we have motion language before you for ordinance number 22 series 205.

796
00:54:15,090 --> 00:54:20,010
Also, thank you so much. Are there any questions from Council or for staff?

797
00:54:15,110 --> 00:54:19,780
Also, thank you so much. Are there any questions from council or for staff?

798
00:54:21,350 --> 00:54:21,690
Our first.

799
00:54:25,010 --> 00:54:28,530
Okay, we'll take a motion. I move to approve on first reading,

800
00:54:25,870 --> 00:54:33,510
I move to approve on 1st reading ordinance number 22, series 2025, amending chapter 86 collective

801
00:54:28,530 --> 00:54:31,470
In the audience number 22 series, 2025,

fee resolutions, and then motion language was also provided.

847
00:56:13,860 --> 00:56:18,660
But, it process overview, so we consistently show this and the circles have been moving.

848
00:56:16,270 --> 00:56:21,950
showed this and the circles have been moving so we are in October and this is our second hearing

849
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,900
So we are in October and this is our second hearing.

850
00:56:21,900 --> 00:56:26,240
Council has to adopt the budget no later than the last Thursday not to work.

851
00:56:21,950 --> 00:56:27,570
council has to adopt the budget in a later than the last Thursday in October so the recommended

852
00:56:27,100 --> 00:56:32,720
So the recommended budget for 2026 is 145 million, little over 53 million of that is

853
00:56:27,570 --> 00:56:35,210
budget for 2026 is 145 million little over 53 million of that is general fund and close to 92 million

854
00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:36,420
general fund and close to 92 million in dedicated funds.

855
00:56:35,210 --> 00:56:42,130
dedicated funds. So we have our 2026 revenue overview here by fund and by type. So spending

856
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,500
So we have our 2026 revenue overview here by fund and by type.

857
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:48,320
So spending about 117.6 million or excuse me, receiving 117.6 million in revenues.

858
00:56:42,130 --> 00:56:49,350
about 117.6 million or excuse me, receiving 117.6 million in revenues. That's slightly

859
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:59,100
That's slightly down from 2025, largely due to intergovernmental revenue, not doing as many grants

860
00:56:49,350 --> 00:57:00,410
down from 2025 largely due to Intergovernmental Revenue, not doing as many grants and still doing

861
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:11,080
and still doing significant capital in 2026, but didn't receive as much grant funding as you did.

862
00:57:00,410 --> 00:57:07,250
significant capital in 2026, but it didn't receive as much grant funding as you did.

863
00:57:07,470 --> 00:57:11,090
Suppled to road improvements, Highway 7 on 19.

864
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:16,160
So that's the slight reduction in revenue from last year.

865
00:57:12,390 --> 00:57:16,170
So that's the latest flight reduction in revenue from last year.

866
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,180
We did predict a slight increase in sale in use tax,

867
00:57:16,330 --> 00:57:21,850
We did project a slight increase in sale in use tax, but two percent, four percent increase

868
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:25,240
but 2% for percent increase in property tax for revenue.

869
00:57:21,850 --> 00:57:25,230
in property tax for revenue.

870
00:57:25,230 --> 00:57:31,630
So, this is the highlights, and then we have our expenditures for 2026, 145 million.

871
00:57:25,940 --> 00:57:26,820
So this is the highlights.

872
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,760
And then we have our expenditures for 2026, 145 million.

873
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:37,000
Again, this is also slightly down from the anticipated budget from 2025.

874
00:57:32,490 --> 00:57:36,970
Again, this is also slightly down from the anticipated budget from 2025.

875
00:57:38,910 --> 00:57:45,550
Personnel is up capital, again, is slightly down due to less expenditure due to less

876
00:57:39,020 --> 00:57:45,560
personnel is up capital, again, is slightly down due to less expenditure due to less

877
00:57:45,550 --> 00:57:50,170
intergovernmental revenue, and then we also reduced operating slightly from 2025.

878
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:52,930
intergovernmental revenue. And then we also reduced operating slightly from 2020 to 25.

879
00:57:54,930 --> 00:57:59,610
So, we'll go in the wrong way, sorry about that. And then our 2026 pay plan highlights.

880
00:57:57,060 --> 00:58:02,540
And then our 2026 pay plan highlights, as a full-time and part-time pay plan, combination

881
00:57:59,970 --> 00:58:03,890
Now, the full-time and part-time pay plan, combination of market-based range of

882
00:58:02,540 --> 00:58:07,420
of market-based range adjustments and merit-based increases, general employees are averaging

883
00:58:03,890 --> 00:58:05,510
and merit-based increases.

884
00:58:06,070 --> 00:58:09,110
General employees are averaging increases 3%.

885
00:58:07,420 --> 00:58:08,940
increases 3%.

886
00:58:08,940 --> 00:58:14,940
Sour ranges are all above the 2026 statement of a wage as well as all pay plans are also above

887
00:58:09,110 --> 00:58:12,630
Sour ranges are all above the 2026 state minimum wage,

888
00:58:12,870 --> 00:58:16,270
as well as all plate plans are also above state minimum wage requirements.

889
00:58:14,940 --> 00:58:16,260
the statement among wage requirements.

890
00:58:16,260 --> 00:58:21,460
Police are receiving a 4% increase per their collective bargaining agreement in 2026.

891
00:58:17,030 --> 00:58:21,430
Police are receiving a 4% increase per their collective bargaining agreement in 2026.

892
00:58:22,190 --> 00:58:25,750
Fire is receiving a 3% increase per their collective bargaining agreement,

893
00:58:22,260 --> 00:58:26,760
Fire is receiving a 3% increase per their collective bargaining agreement and there is

894
00:58:26,190 --> 00:58:30,750
and there is range movement happening in 2026 as well in alignment with the market.

895
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,880
range movement happening in 2026 as well in alignment with the market.

896
00:58:31,990 --> 00:58:37,470
So, summary highlights, again, rising costs seen across all categories of expenditures.

897
00:58:32,900 --> 00:58:37,540
So summary highlights again rising costs seen across all categories of expenditures.

898
00:58:37,930 --> 00:58:42,910
A review of actual versus budgeted expenditure alignment took a really close look at what

899
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:43,200
A review of actual versus budgeted expenditure alignment took really close look at what we've

900
00:58:42,910 --> 00:58:46,530
we've been spending in the past and our revenues coming in and how we make those work.

901
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,520
spending in the past and our revenues coming in and how we make those work.

902
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:52,460
So some of the allocation of budget within funds and a focus on maintaining progress made

903
00:58:47,110 --> 00:58:49,590
So, some of the allocation of budget within funds.

904
00:58:50,070 --> 00:58:54,330
And a focus on maintaining progress made on compensation plan and philosophy.

905
00:58:52,460 --> 00:58:57,380
on compensation plan and philosophy, address and meeting rising, operating costs, and

906
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:59,390
Address and meeting rising operating costs and proactively plan and address capital needs.

907
00:58:57,380 --> 00:58:59,400
practically plan and address capital needs.

913
00:59:10,570 --> 00:59:14,930

00:59:24,220 --> 00:59:26,240
So we have the fee resolutions.

917
00:59:27,110 --> 00:59:33,430
So, we have the Gulf Enterprise current cost recovery and market analysis that happens.

918
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,260
So we have the golf enterprise.

919
00:59:29,260 --> 00:59:35,180
current cost recovery and market analysis that happens, solid waste, which is

920
00:59:33,930 --> 00:59:39,330
Solid waste, which is you trash, with Republic, our contract stipulates that increase is based

921
00:59:35,180 --> 00:59:39,640
you trash, with Republic, our contract stipulates that increase is based on

922
00:59:39,330 --> 00:59:44,630
on the Denver or World Liquid CPI, and then there's also an admin fee for cost recovery.

923
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:43,640
the Denver or World Liquid CPI and then there's also an admin fee for cost

924
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:49,860
recovery, utility rates, recently did a ref-tell list rate study for water, water

925
00:59:51,630 --> 00:59:55,530
and thus the 2022 increases that we discussed at the other 28.

926
00:59:55,530 --> 00:59:57,730
But it looks up our part of this 2020.

927
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,900
So, average monthly bill and impact for utility fees, waste management, $1.65 bill increase that includes

928
01:00:07,900 --> 01:00:16,060
the ad rent fee as well as the 2026 increase for the typical single family residential customer.

929
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:23,940
Water utility fees, the increase is $7.14, that's estimate based on single family residential

930
01:00:23,940 --> 01:00:30,780
customer using 3,000 gallons per month, water reclamation fees, additional $3.89

931
01:00:31,780 --> 01:00:38,120
again based on a single family residential customer, and then stormwater fees and

932
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:45,420
additional $1.6 bill increase into $2.6. And then any questions? So again, this is

933
01:00:45,420 --> 01:00:51,020
a real high overview, you've got all the detail and happy to have any questions and lots

934
01:00:51,020 --> 01:00:52,240
I hope from staff.

935
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:53,580
I'm just the next one.

936
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:54,680
Thank you.

937
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,020
Now, thank you for taking this benefit.

938
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:56,560
Thank you.

939
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:57,720
Put all that together.

940
01:00:58,540 --> 01:01:04,060
This council, I have questions on any of these items presented to us.

941
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:07,360
We're going to the budget.

942
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:12,600
I know it's second reading, so, but it's still, if there's anything else that counts your chance.

943
01:01:12,900 --> 01:01:13,200
Yeah.

944
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,740
Can you talk a little bit more about the end of these peaks, golf course fees?

945
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:22,060
I feel like we missed a whole presentation.

946
01:01:30,660 --> 01:01:36,780
We're bringing information about our comprehensive fee study that's covering both golf and recreation fees.

947
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:43,300
The next meeting with golfies for this year because we knew this process and this project was going to take a little bit longer.

948
01:01:43,820 --> 01:01:48,080
We followed the same approach that we generally do with the golf course and have for many years.

949
01:01:49,020 --> 01:01:55,520
So we look at our operational costs, recovering those costs and we're balancing also the competitiveness in the market.

950
01:01:55,520 --> 01:02:01,340
So what you're seeing is a roughly 3% increase from last year, and it's pretty typical for our process.

951
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:03,160
Thank you.

952
01:02:05,490 --> 01:02:05,910
Thank you.

953
01:02:06,450 --> 01:02:07,590
Other questions from council?

954
01:02:14,190 --> 01:02:14,310
Okay.

955
01:02:14,370 --> 01:02:14,410
Good.

956
01:02:15,550 --> 01:02:15,790
Okay.

Did you have individual fees?

973
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:12,180
Yeah, yeah.

974
01:03:14,300 --> 01:03:14,680
Never mind.

975
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:15,460

And finally.

1022
01:05:13,780 --> 01:05:20,640
I move to approve resolution number 2025-68 establishing the water reclamation utility rates, fees and charges,

1023
01:05:21,220 --> 01:05:22,980
commencing January 1, 2026.

1024
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:32,440
motion and a second any further discussion all of us in favor say aye any opposed say no then

1026
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:45,140
that second reading we got it all we all the way through congratulations everyone to

1027
01:05:45,140 --> 01:05:52,680
you through that all right that brings us to item L for tonight resolution number 2025

1028
01:05:52,680 --> 01:06:00,360
in August, 1969, adopting a budget and making appropriations for the fiscal year, 2025, and the fiscal year,

1029
01:06:00,420 --> 01:06:03,540
26 for the Lafayette Downtown, to develop in the authority.

1030
01:06:05,180 --> 01:06:06,120
Thanks, Marin Council.

1031
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,560
I'm here as the DA executive director for this next presentation.

1032
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:16,580
So, as the mayor mentioned, I'm going to be presenting the 2025 and 2025, and 26, Lafayette,

1033
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,380
DDA budget, and you're going to be considering a resolution for approval.

1034
01:06:19,380 --> 01:06:28,240
This is different than Laura and DDA's budget process is covering through state statute where the governing body actually approves the budget.

1035
01:06:29,500 --> 01:06:33,360
So the DDA is recommending a budget for you all to approve.

1036
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:42,000
So I'm going to go through the budget process revenue expenses including key outcome to the initiatives, next steps in discussion with some proposed motion on which.

1037
01:06:43,180 --> 01:06:49,740
So we started our budget process earlier this summer, where we held a workshop and on August 11th,

1038
01:06:49,900 --> 01:06:54,800
I brought forward a budget that aligned with our work plan, our early projects and initiatives

1039
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:55,880
that we wanted to accomplish.

1040
01:06:56,580 --> 01:07:02,040
And then on our September 8th meeting, we I brought forward a recommended budget which they

1041
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,720
approved and are bringing forward to council.

1042
01:07:04,980 --> 01:07:06,260
So that is this evening.

1043
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,100
Well, I'll be going through that budget and you'll be considering approval of a resolution

1044
01:07:10,100 --> 01:07:12,300
for both 2025 and 2026.

1045
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:18,780
So, in starting of the presentation, I wanted to just reflect on how we are approaching our

1046
01:07:18,780 --> 01:07:19,580
budget process.

1047
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:25,160
So, as you all are familiar with, the Old Town tomorrow is our action plan for the DDA.

1048
01:07:25,700 --> 01:07:30,600
It is both the legal requirement, it's the plan of development, but it also serves as a roadmap

1049
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,080
for our authority.

1050
01:07:32,620 --> 01:07:35,920
And it really has a strong foundation of partnering with the city and implementing the

1051
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:37,480
you can use vision and strategic plans.

1052
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,620
And we have six priority focus areas,

1053
01:07:41,700 --> 01:07:43,220
which you can see on the screen here.

1054
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:45,180
And within that, we looked at the entire plan

1055
01:07:45,180 --> 01:07:47,540
and wanted to think, what do we want to prioritize

1056
01:07:47,540 --> 01:07:49,600
for these first couple of years with that?

1057
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,600
We had that workshop, and we developed a great work plan

1058
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:55,520
that we think that we'll see a lot of success

1059
01:07:56,300 --> 01:07:59,120
in implementing some really impactful things

1060
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:00,860
these first couple of years in the district,

1061
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:02,780
and we've got this budget compliments that.

1062
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:04,440
So I wanted to kind of go through

1063
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,640
what we're hoping to accomplish.

1064
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,000
So for revenue, as you're familiar with,

1065
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,360
RDDA is funded through tax increment financing

1066
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,220
or a portion of the sales and property tax.

1067
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,180
Above the base is reinvested within the district.

1068
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,720
We're also very lucky that our urban renewal authority

1069
01:08:25,480 --> 01:08:28,940
has transferred roughly $2 million to the DDA

1070
01:08:28,940 --> 01:08:30,740
for start funding for the first five years.

1071
01:08:31,100 --> 01:08:33,620
This is really important because the increment,

1072
01:08:33,620 --> 01:08:38,040
And these first years are small while we generate that fund balance.

1073
01:08:38,540 --> 01:08:42,620
And so this allows us to really have an impact within the district and build on the momentum

1074
01:08:42,620 --> 01:08:43,100
of Laura.

1075
01:08:43,820 --> 01:08:49,060
So those funds go to the administrative fee, the parking lot program, including maintenance

1076
01:08:49,060 --> 01:08:54,080
and snow removal, and also providing buckets for small buses of support, such as capital

1077
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:59,940
grants, and district support marketing, farmers market, and holiday lights, which are going

1078
01:08:59,940 --> 01:09:00,940
up if you haven't noticed.

1079
01:09:02,020 --> 01:09:13,760
Looking to 2020-06, we have, this is our first year of collecting TIF, and so you can see here that we're looking to get almost 150,000 for projected revenue.

1080
01:09:14,780 --> 01:09:26,520
And so our revenue for this first year is property tax sales tax interest, and then also miscellaneous revenue is related to loan repayments that Laura is getting this just going to be transferred over to the UK.

1081
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:33,360
So for property tax, we're lucky that we have 25 years of a special district in Old

1082
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:38,480
Town where we could look at historical trends from urban renewal and use a similar

1083
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:44,600
for casting for what we think our property tax will be, and sort of seems the same share

1084
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:51,060
of base present value growth versus the tax increment growth. The property tax gets reassess

1085
01:09:51,060 --> 01:09:56,380
a reader, the base gets reassess, and so this just follows that same trend. And then the

1086
01:09:56,380 --> 01:10:03,440
or county assessors office and they'll be the ones that actually determine the tip amount but we're taking a conservative approach for this first year.

1087
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:10,480
First sales tax, we also looked at old town sales tax trends, but also city-wide trends.

1088
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:20,100
And our base for our area is 1.75 million and that's based off a 12 month period prior to when the plan development was approved.

1089
01:10:20,100 --> 01:10:27,360
And so any increment above that 1.75 goes into the DDA's reserves.

1090
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,560
We projected a really conservative approach of 2.5.

1091
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:37,540
We are confident that we're going to actually get more because there's some projects that have come online that will generate sales tax.

1092
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,980
But until we actually see how the district does, we want to take a conservative approach for these first couple years.

1093
01:10:43,040 --> 01:11:00,780
So moving on to expenses for 2025 with the Laura transferring over those funds, we just have a small amount that we're putting towards operational administrative repairs and maintenance for the parking lots and then downtown development for some small business support.

1094
01:11:01,780 --> 01:11:08,620
And then for 2026, this is one we really build on the momentum of Laura with this very colorful pie chart here.

1095
01:11:08,620 --> 01:11:11,460
where we're doing work in downtown development,

1096
01:11:11,940 --> 01:11:13,960
advertising, marketing, professional services,

1097
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,140
streetscapes, cultural arts and community events.

1098
01:11:16,260 --> 01:11:17,780
And I'll go through some of the key things

1099
01:11:17,780 --> 01:11:18,800
that are coming out of these buckets.

1100
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,280
So for these first three, the administrative fee.

1101
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,220
This is, as you may be familiar with,

1102
01:11:26,440 --> 01:11:28,540
the idea that we have the DD in the city

1103
01:11:28,540 --> 01:11:30,180
provides administrative support.

1104
01:11:31,020 --> 01:11:33,100
So staff time, IT legal finance.

1105
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:37,100
So we have a budget in our align for that.

1106
01:11:37,100 --> 01:11:44,300
We have funds for printing, networking, paying the county treasurer, and then also our parking

1107
01:11:44,300 --> 01:11:49,000
lot program, continuing the work that Laura has done and it's no removal of maintenance. It's been a

1108
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:53,920
great asset in our downtown. We've gotten good feedback, so the DDA will be taking that program over.

1109
01:11:55,600 --> 01:12:01,300
For streetscape and professional services, everyone will be happy that we're going to continue the downtown

1110
01:12:01,300 --> 01:12:06,040
holiday lights. We also have some funding in here to explore the expansion of bike racks.

1111
01:12:06,860 --> 01:12:10,540
You've probably noticed that there are a few bike racks in Old Town and because we have

1112
01:12:10,540 --> 01:12:15,300
narrow sidewalks and there's some site triangle constraints that we're working with,

1113
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:20,560
but the DDA is interested in piloting potentially taking a parking spot or maybe even looking

1114
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:25,580
in the lower parking lots about converting a parking spot into bike racks. So we have funding to

1115
01:12:25,580 --> 01:12:30,360
explore that initiative and then for professional services we'll be looking to really

1116
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:36,140
a desired RFP next year for a new wayfinding program, the design for that, which we're really

1117
01:12:36,140 --> 01:12:39,880
exciting because right now we just have parking lot signs and monument signs, but we don't

1118
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:44,340
have wayfinding for pedestrians or cyclists. So this will be a great initiative to rethink

1119
01:12:44,340 --> 01:12:48,740
about how we bring people throughout the district and then we also have some funding related

1120
01:12:48,740 --> 01:12:51,620
to special district consultants and support remark need.

1121
01:12:54,340 --> 01:12:59,920
For advertising and marketing and the cultural arts and community events, Laura has been

1122
01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:05,240
doing marketing for the past four years for Old Town with our website and social media channel,

1123
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:10,120
so the DDA will be picking that up. And actually looking to maybe even hire a staff or

1124
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:14,320
a contractor to continue that work. And so they later really good foundation and they're

1125
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:22,160
excited to move this into a good direction where we engage with businesses more. And then we'll

1126
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:26,720
be continuing the partnership with the Farmers Market, helping pay for their traffic control,

1127
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:42,740
And then launching a new creativity and cultural arts micro grant program, which will be really exciting to be able to work, which is our great artistic community with murals, or festivals, or workshops or programming, so that'll be a great way to engage with different community groups.

1128
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:55,900
And then lastly with downtown development, we're looking to launch a small business support grant program, and then also laying the foundation for hopefully establishing a pathway to ownership program.

1129
01:13:55,900 --> 01:14:02,260
So, actually, to see how the DDA can help businesses when they're ready to purchase their property, how can we help with that.

1130
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,980
So, some really exciting initiatives that we're looking to accomplish.

1131
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:10,840
This is just a summary of all that the DDA is excited to do.

1132
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:18,460
And with that, as a reminder, tonight I'm presenting this budget for you all to consider the resolution for approval.

1133
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,180
And happy to answer any questions and I have proposed motion language when ready.

1134
01:14:24,440 --> 01:14:27,440
Awesome, well, thank you so much for putting that presentation together.

1135
01:14:28,700 --> 01:14:30,740
Let's see if there are questions from Council.

1136
01:14:32,860 --> 01:14:33,420
That's

1137
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:38,520
a good answer, Barnes.

1138
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:39,660
Thank you, Mayor.

1139
01:14:40,020 --> 01:14:43,840
I don't have any questions, but I just wanted to say, for Council,

1140
01:14:44,980 --> 01:14:52,460
it might not be abundantly clear, but the way the DDA is rolling out,

1141
01:14:52,460 --> 01:14:56,980
It is poised to align with a lot of the city's initiatives as well.

1142
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,920
And the concerns of...

1143
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:08,100
Community, transportation around town, culture. And I think it's a great outlet for if we want to see something

1144
01:15:08,100 --> 01:15:14,880
in action, the DDA can act on some of the ideas it comes to may have moving forward. And I think

1145
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:28,220
it's a very well laid out and funded beginning to the next part of what office that's going to be

1146
01:15:28,220 --> 01:15:33,260
with our business development and economic plan for the rest of the city and be very obvious

1147
01:15:33,260 --> 01:15:38,380
as soon as you get the way finding it. It's going to be great and more fabulous

1148
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,200
branding stuff. I want to take a look at your question, Craig.

1149
01:15:44,890 --> 01:15:46,810
Thank you. Other questions or

1150
01:15:46,810 --> 01:15:47,730
comments from Council?

1151
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:58,480
No. Okay. Can we get a motion please? I'm going to improve resolution number

1152
01:15:58,480 --> 01:16:09,300
2025, 609 adopting a budget and making a per-breation for the fiscal year, 2025, and the fiscal year 2026 for the Lafayette downtown development authority.

1153
01:16:10,300 --> 01:16:13,000
Second, motion and a second for their discussion.

1154
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:15,820
Okay, all those in favor please say aye.

1155
01:16:17,100 --> 01:16:17,740
Any opposed?

1156
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:19,380
None opposed?

1157
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:20,860
That passes unanimously.

1158
01:16:21,140 --> 01:16:21,620
Thank you.

1159
01:16:24,270 --> 01:16:24,550
Okay.

1160
01:16:27,950 --> 01:16:34,910
Okay, item M, this is resolution number 25, that's 73, opting out of enacting gray water

1161
01:16:34,910 --> 01:16:39,490
red relations and prohibiting the use of gray water and the installation of gray water

1162
01:16:39,490 --> 01:16:40,110
treatment.

1163
01:16:40,390 --> 01:16:46,250
We have a public work structure here to start a bit even mayor and members of council.

1164
01:16:46,410 --> 01:16:53,870
So here tonight to speak to resolution number 2025-73 regarding gray water, I will set

1165
01:16:53,870 --> 01:17:04,290
We're not asking Council tonight to adopt an ordinance or specific program, so I'm going to give you the short version of happy to answer any questions, but it's also something that we could talk about.

1166
01:17:04,950 --> 01:17:08,810
Much greater detail at a future meeting based on Council's interests.

1167
01:17:09,630 --> 01:17:17,670
So I'm going to start off just given a brief overview of what Graywater use is talk a little bit about some of the Africa ethical federal state.

1168
01:17:17,670 --> 01:17:25,410
And local regulations give you a quick overview of House Bill 20 fund for 13-13-62,

1169
01:17:27,150 --> 01:17:31,210
review the resolution we have and then again answer any questions you have and we have a proposed motion.

1170
01:17:32,070 --> 01:17:39,110
So just to start things off, our work typical order of events for our utility systems is that

1171
01:17:39,110 --> 01:17:45,010
we are fortunate to be a head water state and we divert our source water from the Rocky Mountains.

1172
01:17:45,010 --> 01:17:48,510
So we're getting first dibs on Fresno.

1173
01:17:49,830 --> 01:17:53,050
We then treat that water to state federal standards,

1174
01:17:53,230 --> 01:17:54,510
deliver it to homes and business,

1175
01:17:56,350 --> 01:17:59,270
and conventional building plummeting delivers that individual

1176
01:17:59,270 --> 01:18:01,770
fixtures once it's used to go down the drain.

1177
01:18:01,870 --> 01:18:06,750
It goes back to our water reclamation facility on Honeyline Road.

1178
01:18:06,770 --> 01:18:09,330
It goes back into Coal Creek, then the South Baton, Mississippi,

1179
01:18:10,770 --> 01:18:14,210
and thousands of people reuse that water before it gets to the ocean.

1180
01:18:16,130 --> 01:18:19,270
When you add the element of gray water reuse,

1181
01:18:19,270 --> 01:18:23,230
basically what that entails is adding a small treatment plant

1182
01:18:23,230 --> 01:18:26,190
inside the home or business that takes water

1183
01:18:26,190 --> 01:18:28,670
from certain plumbing fixtures, generally,

1184
01:18:29,910 --> 01:18:33,750
things like showers, tubs, bathroom sinks,

1185
01:18:33,990 --> 01:18:38,010
washing machines, treats that water to a lesser standard

1186
01:18:38,010 --> 01:18:39,630
than we would do with the treatment plant,

1187
01:18:39,630 --> 01:18:47,450
And then that can be plummeted back to toilets and for subsurface irrigation.

1188
01:18:47,770 --> 01:18:53,050
So basically you can go to places where there's minimal risk of human contact.

1189
01:18:55,190 --> 01:19:01,770
Once it goes to the toilet, it goes back to the sewer system, the water reformation plant and back

1190
01:19:01,770 --> 01:19:03,230
to the river like anything else.

1191
01:19:03,610 --> 01:19:09,530
So it's kind of a small piece of the water is reused in additional time before it's

1192
01:19:09,530 --> 01:19:17,290
turn to the river. There are a broad variety of regulations that the city has to comply with,

1193
01:19:17,630 --> 01:19:22,030
related to how we provide water and wastewater services and those are administered through

1194
01:19:22,030 --> 01:19:28,790
the EPA State Health Department, water rights administered by the state engineer and then the

1195
01:19:28,790 --> 01:19:35,910
Boulder County Health Department has a role in that. In 2013, the legislature enacted House

1196
01:19:35,910 --> 01:19:43,810
bill 13, 1044, which basically teed up that local governments could adopt graywater regulations.

1197
01:19:44,870 --> 01:19:49,250
The caveat with that being that it became the responsibility of the local government to develop

1198
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:54,690
local regulations and programs and services to make sure you still met all of the federal

1199
01:19:54,690 --> 01:20:05,250
state and local regulations in 2024, House Bill 24, 1362, sort of shifted that from

1200
01:20:05,250 --> 01:20:15,850
an opt in to an opt out. So local governments are required to either allow gray water or to opt out

1201
01:20:15,850 --> 01:20:23,230
by the January 1st, 2026 deadline. It does not remove the requirement that you would, if you're

1202
01:20:23,230 --> 01:20:27,970
allowing gray water that you have to develop those ordinances and programs and services to make sure

1203
01:20:27,970 --> 01:20:31,390
you still comply with all of the state and federal regulations.

1204
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:43,560
So the city like many other communities has been closely monitoring developments in this.

1205
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:49,540
This slide, and it's not super legible, I appreciate the scale, but this is a case study

1206
01:20:49,540 --> 01:20:52,600
like Colorado Water Wise, which is a conservation group.

1207
01:20:52,700 --> 01:20:58,480
They have a website and you can get this information in detail, but basically this looks

1208
01:20:58,480 --> 01:21:05,900
at implementation of gray water programs around the state, there has not been a big uptake

1209
01:21:05,900 --> 01:21:12,160
in other community's implementing programs and where they have the number of customers that

1210
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:19,600
have actually taken advantage of those is pretty small. You can see it on here, City and County

1211
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:25,740
Denver has had, that's been allowed since 2016. They've had three homes based on this study,

1212
01:21:25,740 --> 01:21:31,600
Castle Rock is the biggest with 30 and there's a number of communities that have done programs that have zero.

1213
01:21:32,060 --> 01:21:41,180
So at this point, we don't have a great model of a successful program in which to look to replicate in Waffe yet.

1214
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:50,640
Conversely, the Colorado Municipal League, when as far as doing a model ordinance for opting out based on broad communities interest in opting out at this time.

1215
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:59,340
So what we are recommending is that we opt out that doesn't mean we can't re-look at

1216
01:21:59,340 --> 01:22:05,920
the future, but essentially at this point, it doesn't seem to be a good framework

1217
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:12,120
out there to implement a successful program to ahead of that deadline.

1218
01:22:15,980 --> 01:22:17,100
So, basically,

1219
01:22:19,620 --> 01:22:26,680
if Council approves this resolution tonight, we would continue to monitor progress

1220
01:22:27,500 --> 01:22:28,420
in this field.

1221
01:22:29,140 --> 01:22:34,300
If at some point in the future, there starts to be a framework for a successful program

1222
01:22:34,300 --> 01:22:38,460
that we could replicate as we can come back and give you analysis of the pros and cons

1223
01:22:38,460 --> 01:22:42,340
and cost and consider repealing this resolution

1224
01:22:42,340 --> 01:22:45,160
that we adopt in ordinances and funding programs

1225
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,180
and services at that time.

1226
01:22:48,580 --> 01:22:51,040
So with that, we have a resolution,

1227
01:22:51,700 --> 01:22:54,120
more than happy answering questions,

1228
01:22:54,740 --> 01:22:56,260
or happy to come back at a future date

1229
01:22:56,260 --> 01:22:58,220
and get into the weeds on the details

1230
01:22:58,220 --> 01:22:59,460
of some of the pros and cons.

1231
01:23:00,700 --> 01:23:02,440
All right, thank you so much for that presentation.

1232
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:03,980
Questions from Council?

1233
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:04,820
Councillor Samson.

1234
01:23:04,980 --> 01:23:07,400
It doesn't say in here how long you want this to be

1235
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:15,140
out for. So it would be until such time as we would feel it. So indefinitely. Potentially.

1236
01:23:18,450 --> 01:23:25,430
The challenge is if we don't have this, then it is allowed and if it is allowed, if we don't

1237
01:23:25,430 --> 01:23:30,610
have the ordinances and programs, we will be potentially in violation of our CDPHE permits or

1238
01:23:30,610 --> 01:23:35,370
have issues with the state in here around water rights. So it would need to stay in place until

1239
01:23:35,370 --> 01:23:41,330
such time as we had other laws and programs in place, this, they can plan.

1240
01:23:45,300 --> 01:23:45,880
Okay, that's a freedom.

1241
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:51,160
Um, the team will do a model, regulation, training a model,

1242
01:23:51,420 --> 01:23:51,840
hopped out.

1243
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,280
They did not do a model, how did it comply?

1244
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:57,320
Um, can I answer some of this?

1245
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:01,220
Because I sat in those discussions at the CML policy committee.

1246
01:24:01,700 --> 01:24:05,220
So basically what happened is CML was one.

1247
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,020
It was a big pusher of trying to get to the opt-out program.

1248
01:24:08,020 --> 01:24:16,200
It came from the cities and the issue came up and there was a lot of discussion and it was split split enough

1249
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:20,900
There was enough to say yes, let's move this forward through the state and get an off-doubt program

1250
01:24:20,900 --> 01:24:28,220
But there were probably 40 45% of the cities in that discussion that said oh, we're not ready

1251
01:24:28,220 --> 01:24:37,660
Oh, I don't know if we can handle it. We're too small and so what you're getting from this is CML saying we kind of need to help all of our communities

1252
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:45,600
So, it wasn't something that was necessarily supportive what was supportive is CML going to the state.

1253
01:24:47,540 --> 01:24:54,560
So, if I'm understanding correctly, there are a number of communities pushing CML to go up to this opt-out model with the state bill.

1254
01:24:55,260 --> 01:24:59,480
And those communities, I'm assuming, were planning then to develop their own programs.

1255
01:25:00,440 --> 01:25:05,160
Okay, and then for the ones that were hesitant, CML did this opt-out to make it easy to opt-out.

1256
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:05,560
Correct.

1257
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:12,140
I'm sure it did our sustainability group see this one have a conversation out this one.

1258
01:25:12,480 --> 01:25:13,420
We have talked to them.

1259
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:14,380
Okay.

1260
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,960
Did they have any comments or?

1261
01:25:19,140 --> 01:25:23,540
Again at this point, we're not ruling it out.

1262
01:25:23,780 --> 01:25:29,560
It's really more of a conclusion that being having something in place by the January 1st

1263
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:35,980
step is not necessarily not. It's probably not realistic to do it and do it well and have a

1264
01:25:35,980 --> 01:25:43,880
be a successful program. And keep us in good plans. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Good conversation.

1265
01:25:44,100 --> 01:25:51,440
Councillor Barnes. Thank you. I'm curious about the whack of adoption of these systems over time.

1266
01:25:51,620 --> 01:25:56,040
It's not. I don't think it doesn't sound like it's a new concept, but it just doesn't

1267
01:25:56,580 --> 01:26:04,080
isn't taken up as up because developers are not interested in having this as a feature or retrofitting.

1268
01:26:04,100 --> 01:26:09,800
I mean, some systems. A little bit of data and if you're curious it's really worth checking out their website.

1269
01:26:11,140 --> 01:26:18,200
But so for example, there are assumptions and estimates on this was that a system would cost another $4,500.

1270
01:26:19,500 --> 01:26:34,700
They're estimating an average of $36 a year in annual maintenance, which I'm not totally sure what that's based on, but that actually seems relatively low for having a waste water treatment in your house.

1271
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:44,560
And then estimating an annual savings between $69 and $138 with a ROI of 33 to 65 years.

1272
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:53,560
That's based on a single family residential with four residents and it looks like flushing the toilet roughly 24 times a day.

1273
01:26:54,460 --> 01:27:08,880
So, you know, even with relatively generous assumptions, it doesn't necessarily look like something that might pencil out well for most people.

1274
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:22,480
And then, as you all know, for Lafayette, a huge amount of our water use is outdoors, we use five times more water in the summer than we do in the winter and in terms of areas where we can probably move the ball.

1275
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:31,040
This might not be the area where we get the most bang for our buck. And I would say that's probably true of any communities across Colorado.

1276
01:27:33,380 --> 01:27:41,100
But again, as the technology changes as we get more data and other places are able to do successful programs,

1277
01:27:42,480 --> 01:27:45,680
we're open to stealing other people's ideas to it.

1278
01:27:46,060 --> 01:27:47,260
But that leads me to thank you.

1279
01:27:47,260 --> 01:27:49,040
That leads me to my next question.

1280
01:27:50,420 --> 01:27:54,420
When you come out with a technology, like I have a conversation with multiple conversations,

1281
01:27:54,420 --> 01:27:56,560
actually with people regarding heat pumps.

1282
01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:02,400
And the industry doesn't seem, one of the residents here

1283
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,360
is told me that he really had to educate the providers

1284
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:10,120
on what he was finding in order to move the ball,

1285
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,540
if you well, along the lines.

1286
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:20,440
And he pumps your kind of a remarkable physics experiment

1287
01:28:20,440 --> 01:28:21,160
that works.

1288
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,060
Is a great order to treat me to play at that complex?

1289
01:28:25,060 --> 01:28:30,280
I mean, how much more does the technology have to advance to get water clean enough?

1290
01:28:31,780 --> 01:28:38,880
So the difference is you're not treating to the same standard as a regular treatment plan

1291
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:44,540
or a whole water treatment plan, but it's in your house, so particularly if you have kids,

1292
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:48,520
you know that things go down the drain that you might never want to see again, or things

1293
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:54,360
go on the washing machine that you might not want to see again, so you need something that's

1294
01:28:54,360 --> 01:29:00,460
want to remove those things before they end up in a little teeny hose that feeds your toilet tank.

1295
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:06,040
And that's presumably going to have some level of maintenance.

1296
01:29:07,900 --> 01:29:12,380
It's probably going to involve a pump, so it's going to have an energy cost to move things

1297
01:29:12,380 --> 01:29:13,520
back within your house.

1298
01:29:13,540 --> 01:29:20,420
It's going to need protection to make sure you don't contaminate the domestic water supply

1299
01:29:20,420 --> 01:29:21,320
in your home or elsewhere.

1300
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:29,460
and also may not be for everybody depending on your household and your pets and whoever

1301
01:29:29,460 --> 01:29:35,980
might have contact with the toilet or what's going to be acceptable in terms of having

1302
01:29:35,980 --> 01:29:45,140
water that's been previously used there. The technology may have all the most treatment

1303
01:29:45,140 --> 01:29:48,140
and go off some sort of combination of chemicals and energy.

1304
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:57,380
And thank you. And so there's, for the city to take on a production or offer the services producing

1305
01:29:57,380 --> 01:29:59,960
gray water, that's a whole another...

1306
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:28,380
Discussion, I'm guessing. Well, we wouldn't be producing it, right? The facility in someone's home would be theirs, and they would have to own and operate and maintain it. So the city would need to have some enforcement mechanism to make sure that that didn't contaminate the city water supply, didn't create a public health issue and everything. So that's probably some form of inspection and monitoring.

1307
01:30:28,380 --> 01:30:34,920
And so it's like commercial buildings have a backflow prevention device that requires an annual

1308
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:38,120
certification that people don't certify that way to turn the water off.

1309
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:46,960
So it's just adding a layer of complexity on a broad scale that I think we've talked about

1310
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:47,640
this sum.

1311
01:30:47,820 --> 01:30:53,740
We have ability to actually do reuse on a grand scale.

1312
01:30:53,740 --> 01:31:00,840
So we hope subject being able to get funding in the next decade or so to be able to take

1313
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:06,820
our treated affluent from the water reclamation plan, move it back to Gustavin and then

1314
01:31:06,820 --> 01:31:13,960
treat it to a drinking water standard and we'll use that, which is, again, highly efficient

1315
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:21,900
centralized plan where we can treat it to a standard where we're very comfortable with

1316
01:31:21,900 --> 01:31:30,060
that being meeting health and safety requirements, but trying to do that on a individual home

1317
01:31:30,060 --> 01:31:33,400
on a scale just it has some challenges.

1318
01:31:34,340 --> 01:31:40,360
And is that is there a technology for doing that that we did exist, are there places

1319
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:44,800
where they do the for residential areas on a grand scale that's pushing or that technology

1320
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:45,780
doesn't really exist?

1321
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:50,980
I mean, I think the technology exists, it's just interesting that in Colorado it doesn't

1322
01:31:50,980 --> 01:32:01,100
here that it exists in a way that is caused areas where it's allowed for there to be a lot

1323
01:32:01,100 --> 01:32:02,100
of uptake of that.

1324
01:32:02,580 --> 01:32:09,180
So like, I mean, if City and County of Denver was seeing three homes, just gives me

1325
01:32:09,180 --> 01:32:15,580
positive we could spend a lot of time and resources on that and if people don't use it

1326
01:32:15,580 --> 01:32:20,680
and it takes away from our ability to fund other things where we are seeing the ball

1327
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:27,440
And we've been really focusing on turf removal and zeroscape, and I think it's actually some

1328
01:32:27,440 --> 01:32:35,720
tangible progress in that area, and certainly my initial thought is that's probably

1329
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:43,800
given our resources that's probably a better place to invest until we see this evolve to

1330
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:51,960
point that the technology is better or that acceptability to the customers is better or

1331
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:55,820
where it has a better environment both benefit and return on investment.

1332
01:32:59,090 --> 01:33:01,030
And I guess we'll last question it.

1333
01:33:01,050 --> 01:33:06,410
And if we were to repeal that opt out, that's a council decision.

1334
01:33:07,170 --> 01:33:09,710
Yeah, so we're just proposing it as a resolution.

1335
01:33:10,810 --> 01:33:14,550
So all you would need was a resolution to repeal the resolution.

1336
01:33:14,550 --> 01:33:22,990
And again, I would assume it would be packaged as part of an item that would include ordinances

1337
01:33:22,990 --> 01:33:29,650
or other resolutions to implement the regulations and programs and services to make sure

1338
01:33:29,650 --> 01:33:33,250
that we were not running a file of any CDPHE or KPM.

1339
01:33:34,290 --> 01:33:35,250
Thank you.

1340
01:33:35,450 --> 01:33:37,010
Thank you.

1341
01:33:37,590 --> 01:33:38,790
Any other comments or questions?

1342
01:33:39,210 --> 01:33:39,690
Councillor Samson.

1343
01:33:39,830 --> 01:33:40,790
Hi, lots of comments.

1344
01:33:40,790 --> 01:33:43,670
I bet you know I've been asking for this for four years.

1345
01:33:44,990 --> 01:33:46,110
So here's the deal.

1346
01:33:47,890 --> 01:33:51,130
We talked about sustainability and yet we heard last week

1347
01:33:51,130 --> 01:33:53,950
from somebody from our sustainability committee that

1348
01:33:53,950 --> 01:33:58,890
Mountain Snow Pack is projected to decline 5 to 30% by 2050.

1349
01:34:00,230 --> 01:34:02,710
That warmer conditions have already reduced soil moisture

1350
01:34:03,950 --> 01:34:07,650
and the atmosphere's drying power evaporative demand has ridden

1351
01:34:07,650 --> 01:34:15,450
percent since 1980. The by 2030, that's five years from now. The amount of drought days in extreme

1352
01:34:15,450 --> 01:34:21,270
precipitation events will more than double. So we've got a request from our community and I

1353
01:34:21,270 --> 01:34:27,030
felt like we couldn't really answer that last week because we don't have a whole lot of money to

1354
01:34:27,030 --> 01:34:35,390
be able to put to this. Now, I know you're surprised but I read the regulation from the CDPHE on this.

1355
01:34:35,390 --> 01:34:38,330
I think it's called 86 regulation 86.

1356
01:34:38,550 --> 01:34:40,830
And what I got from it is two things.

1357
01:34:40,910 --> 01:34:43,350
Yes, we would have to give some time for staff

1358
01:34:43,350 --> 01:34:47,870
to get something together, because we'd have to give them,

1359
01:34:47,890 --> 01:34:52,490
at least, they have to put some information in to CDPHE.

1360
01:34:52,510 --> 01:34:57,030
I feel like I'm leaving you out, 60 days to do something

1361
01:34:57,030 --> 01:34:58,190
of a plan, right?

1362
01:34:59,730 --> 01:35:02,430
So my first issue is, in perpetuity,

1363
01:35:02,430 --> 01:35:04,830
We're not going to do this in perpetuity.

1364
01:35:06,210 --> 01:35:16,390
I feel like we have just authorized $458,000 for water and waste water comprehensive

1365
01:35:16,390 --> 01:35:22,330
plants because, and this is from the notes from this, is because the demand is increasing

1366
01:35:22,330 --> 01:35:27,490
in our community exponentially, so we have to spend money to do that.

1367
01:35:27,490 --> 01:35:35,290
We've just voted to increase water rates with our all of our residents and yet by deciding not to do this

1368
01:35:35,290 --> 01:35:40,130
We are standing in the way of reducing water and making it easier on

1369
01:35:40,130 --> 01:35:45,330
Low and moderate income individuals and reducing water overall

1370
01:35:45,330 --> 01:35:47,290
It's a sustainability issue

1371
01:35:47,290 --> 01:35:55,250
So why are we not doing something that at least would have the opportunity to help in these situations?

1372
01:35:55,250 --> 01:36:01,870
I can't understand the amount of work that's going to be a problem when we're saying that

1373
01:36:01,870 --> 01:36:05,050
in ten years Denver has had three people do it.

1374
01:36:05,370 --> 01:36:06,710
Now we're going to have more.

1375
01:36:07,030 --> 01:36:07,250
Why?

1376
01:36:07,350 --> 01:36:14,470
Because we have intelligent, capable population in Lafayette who are very wise on sustainability.

1377
01:36:15,270 --> 01:36:19,470
So they're going to do this, $4,500 is no big deal to me.

1378
01:36:20,570 --> 01:36:24,230
I've been here almost 20 years waiting for this, waiting,

1379
01:36:26,490 --> 01:36:28,690
I have, you know, I know we have

1380
01:36:28,690 --> 01:36:32,730
houses that could do this. I'm not asking for much, I'm asking for what Goldman is doing.

1381
01:36:33,690 --> 01:36:41,070
I would rather have this motion be that we give six months for staff to get it together and

1382
01:36:41,070 --> 01:36:46,590
propose something to the sustainability board that says we would like to do something that

1383
01:36:46,590 --> 01:36:53,830
deals with allowing laundry to go out to the lawn, to water our trees.

1384
01:36:54,390 --> 01:37:00,510
Now, I don't understand a lot of the costs related to this because we, the people, and we

1385
01:37:00,510 --> 01:37:05,770
could do it for single-family homes and what you want to do in a lot of these things is

1386
01:37:05,770 --> 01:37:09,670
start small and keep building your code, right?

1387
01:37:10,130 --> 01:37:12,950
That's what you want to do to grow it and find it.

1388
01:37:12,950 --> 01:37:17,230
And Council, we sat here two years ago, and one of our goals was to be bold.

1389
01:37:17,790 --> 01:37:21,430
We didn't say, hey, let's wait for everybody else to do it, and then let's do it.

1390
01:37:21,790 --> 01:37:28,350
No, we said we want to be bold. So let's do it. Let's run a pilot program we put this out.

1391
01:37:28,470 --> 01:37:33,250
I don't think there's going to be a lot immediately, but I think it's going to increase and people

1392
01:37:33,250 --> 01:37:37,550
are going to learn in Lafayette. And we are the right community to do it.

1393
01:37:37,550 --> 01:37:45,990
And we're not asking for a whole lot, just start with a single family home and then move from there.

1394
01:37:46,610 --> 01:37:47,690
Get your data from us.

1395
01:37:50,550 --> 01:37:50,790
Thank you.

1396
01:37:51,110 --> 01:37:53,470
So, Councillor Samson, we're here from you as you'd like to.

1397
01:37:54,530 --> 01:37:58,130
I want you to be motion for tonight and have a staff or.

1398
01:37:58,910 --> 01:37:59,610
Correct me, I'm wrong.

1399
01:37:59,790 --> 01:38:03,510
They could postpone the motion and rewrite it for six months.

1400
01:38:03,510 --> 01:38:06,530
As I say, hey, we're going to postpone it.

1401
01:38:06,570 --> 01:38:10,250
We're going to take this back to our sustainability board.

1402
01:38:10,710 --> 01:38:12,630
Present thoughts to them.

1403
01:38:13,050 --> 01:38:15,570
Have them come back to Council and give us input.

1404
01:38:18,530 --> 01:38:20,670
And at that point in six months,

1405
01:38:21,430 --> 01:38:25,330
Council could evaluate and decide what you want to do from here.

1406
01:38:26,410 --> 01:38:28,470
But I think doing this in perpetuity.

1407
01:38:28,590 --> 01:38:30,070
I mean, I've been hearing the same things.

1408
01:38:30,090 --> 01:38:33,010
We're going to study the technology every year.

1409
01:38:33,010 --> 01:38:37,690
keep hearing the same thing and they had to get promised by staff outside of this meeting

1410
01:38:37,690 --> 01:38:43,850
that they're going to come back with better information. I'm sorry but information from 2022

1411
01:38:43,850 --> 01:38:52,290
I keep feeling like it needs to be more and I get this there are so many this regulation 86 has gone

1412
01:38:52,290 --> 01:39:01,610
through CDPHE it's gone through a water board so they've made some really thoughtful decisions on how

1413
01:39:01,610 --> 01:39:07,950
you would do this. Yes, a permit would be required. It's part of the regulation. Yes, we could add in

1414
01:39:07,950 --> 01:39:16,890
an inspection. If we felt that was necessary. So there's already in my mind, there are things

1415
01:39:16,890 --> 01:39:22,930
that I'm doing this to my phone because that's what I was reading. There's already information

1416
01:39:22,930 --> 01:39:28,750
that we know that health officials have already made decisions on in order to guide us through this.

1417
01:39:29,870 --> 01:39:36,310
Okay. Thank you, Councillor Sampson. So I'm hearing from Councillor Sampson to look at

1418
01:39:36,310 --> 01:39:41,690
postpone or table or whatever the word, but just this item I have to look at it for,

1419
01:39:41,690 --> 01:39:46,870
you know, just you mentioned six months, but I think that can be flexible, right? To go back

1420
01:39:46,870 --> 01:39:52,370
to our local boards to see the ability to register committee and other boards as well as to

1421
01:39:52,370 --> 01:39:58,730
some deeper dive into figuring out how to refine the program and then bring it back to

1422
01:39:58,730 --> 01:40:18,970
to council at a later date and so I was just wanting to see if folks on council wanted to respond to that, agreed, disagreed, wanted to build on the conversation, or add more to the discussion that's been taken place right now.

1423
01:40:19,490 --> 01:40:20,850
How do we feel? What are your thoughts?

1424
01:40:22,010 --> 01:40:23,730
I'm highly supportive of that.

1425
01:40:24,150 --> 01:40:27,270
I was going to, I was going to vote no today on this.

1426
01:40:28,050 --> 01:40:32,410
If as it's currently designed, so I appreciate a compromise,

1427
01:40:33,170 --> 01:40:37,910
a plan, an idea, leaning on our boards that are eager,

1428
01:40:37,910 --> 01:40:39,850
eager to just like this for us.

1429
01:40:41,590 --> 01:40:44,390
And, you know, I forget exactly what I said in the

1430
01:40:44,390 --> 01:40:46,450
Climate Action Plan video that we did recently,

1431
01:40:46,590 --> 01:40:48,210
but it was things like that.

1432
01:40:48,210 --> 01:40:54,970
We bold vision, drive, and this is a great example of a way that we're going to have to figure it out.

1433
01:40:55,610 --> 01:40:58,990
But I think we're good at that. So I'm very supportive of the plan. I think it's a great plan.

1434
01:40:59,230 --> 01:41:00,510
Thank you for closing it.

1435
01:41:00,690 --> 01:41:02,730
I asked a clarifying question.

1436
01:41:03,090 --> 01:41:17,430
So I think our options, and I could be mistaken, would be that if we choose not to do the opt-out for some period, we would need to have the

1437
01:41:17,430 --> 01:41:28,030
So, I think our options would be, I think you could amend this to have it sunset or staff

1438
01:41:28,030 --> 01:41:36,230
could agree to come back within next number of months with options or the direction I

1439
01:41:36,230 --> 01:41:40,870
think would need to be to come back by the end of the year with the ordinances and services

1440
01:41:40,870 --> 01:41:45,270
and programs for adoption so that we're okay on January 1st.

1441
01:41:45,330 --> 01:41:46,190
I don't.

1442
01:41:46,190 --> 01:41:47,650
Could you go by the end of the year?

1443
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:50,960
I mean, I'll jump in.

1444
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:53,580
So I think that there's a reason why overall, long,

1445
01:41:53,660 --> 01:41:56,760
long was Mr. Avada, Boulder, Jefferson County,

1446
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:59,060
have all gone this route to give them time.

1447
01:41:59,060 --> 01:42:00,180
And this is why we've waited

1448
01:42:00,180 --> 01:42:02,940
to try to see if they've come up with a model structure

1449
01:42:02,940 --> 01:42:04,900
that we could not reinvent the wheel.

1450
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:08,520
So I would prefer that if we got some time

1451
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,680
and maybe sunset it or whatever that we go termist,

1452
01:42:11,940 --> 01:42:13,100
we're getting through the end of the year.

1453
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:16,200
We're going to be on a new S-Rub members, come January,

1454
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:20,440
So for like, like, six months really may be like a eight month or nine months so we can get new

1455
01:42:20,440 --> 01:42:24,740
but members on board, new council members on board so that, you know, this time in June,

1456
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:28,300
we could come back and have a further conversation about what some of our options are.

1457
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:35,080
That would be, again, my preference just knowing that piece of it, just given the workload and

1458
01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:41,060
the new council change, we have basically two more meetings before new council is on board.

1459
01:42:41,340 --> 01:42:44,900
We say we're ready to get that in place and even then it's three total meetings unless you

1460
01:42:44,900 --> 01:42:47,560
I'm just going to have a fourth one in December.

1461
01:42:47,860 --> 01:42:49,720
So could we just bring out options to something?

1462
01:42:50,020 --> 01:42:52,040
Sure, could we do like a combination of both, right?

1463
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:56,560
Could we pass tonight with an amendment or with the expectation

1464
01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:59,340
that it would come back to us that we could

1465
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:03,540
at a later date, whether it's six months,

1466
01:43:03,780 --> 01:43:08,220
these 12 months, whenever, but that we could refine it,

1467
01:43:08,220 --> 01:43:11,360
make those edits after consulting with our boards

1468
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:13,580
after seeing what other cities do.

1469
01:43:13,580 --> 01:43:19,040
and then make those amendments later on, like is this that way, serves.

1470
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:23,240
But would that be like, I'm just trying to kind of compromise.

1471
01:43:24,020 --> 01:43:30,780
So what we have, what they're saying is that we have to opt out as of January 1st.

1472
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:33,160
And then give staff enough time.

1473
01:43:33,540 --> 01:43:36,800
So what we want to do is I can amend this right now and read it.

1474
01:43:36,980 --> 01:43:38,360
You know me. I can think on this spot.

1475
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:44,980
So I could read this with an amendment that at the end of that, instead of the period, it would say for nine months.

1476
01:43:46,220 --> 01:43:49,780
And so all we would be doing is opting out for nine months.

1477
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:53,500
And staff would have the direction.

1478
01:43:54,660 --> 01:44:02,280
Just as we were saying, come back with some options with to the sustainability board,

1479
01:44:02,300 --> 01:44:05,460
and then they can come back with staff to council.

1480
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:08,620
Well, nine months would be what June or July.

1481
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:09,860
That's what I heard.

1482
01:44:10,540 --> 01:44:13,800
I'm just thinking with getting everyone new on board it.

1483
01:44:13,980 --> 01:44:16,500
And again, to remember, so I'd appreciate that.

1484
01:44:16,580 --> 01:44:18,240
Is that like an uptime?

1485
01:44:18,460 --> 01:44:20,360
I mean, more would be better.

1486
01:44:21,020 --> 01:44:25,140
Well, so we don't actually have a dedicated water conservation position, even.

1487
01:44:25,940 --> 01:44:28,180
So this, I think the trade-off is this.

1488
01:44:28,180 --> 01:44:31,420
We'll be diverting resources away from other things.

1489
01:44:31,420 --> 01:44:33,580
And if that's the priority, we can certainly do that.

1490
01:44:33,580 --> 01:44:42,900
But it, you know, it does mean that other other things we do in the water, especially space will be different.

1491
01:44:44,100 --> 01:44:47,480
But I think that's again for the new Council on the concrete tree.

1492
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:50,080
We cannot talk about what that means, kind of.

1493
01:44:50,220 --> 01:44:53,180
Yeah, because at the end of nine months as well, right?

1494
01:44:53,480 --> 01:44:55,720
We could extend it for another month once if we need to.

1495
01:44:55,720 --> 01:44:59,960
Yeah, we're not saying it has to be done if we run into the issues.

1496
01:45:00,140 --> 01:45:06,740
We run into the issue. Well, what do we keep the resolution as it is? I mean, the resolution is going to the state. So, all we're doing is complying with the state.

1497
01:45:06,900 --> 01:45:11,400
If we want to come back and actually have something in six months, nine months, we can just then switch back.

1498
01:45:12,300 --> 01:45:15,060
You're only here as I've been asking for. I've got nothing from staff.

1499
01:45:15,060 --> 01:45:22,140
I hear you, but I'm here in front of staff that we don't have dedicated funds. We don't have the resources to do this. I don't want them put a clock on them on the resolution that we sent to the state.

1500
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:27,840
I would rather keep the resolution as it is, and then instruct staff to make it something forward at a later date.

1501
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,500
because if it is as as I'm also going to know.

1502
01:45:30,940 --> 01:45:31,880
It's totally a fair point.

1503
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:36,020
I think it's just that it gives us that feedback mechanism that time to say.

1504
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,280
In nine months, we have to come back to have another conversation.

1505
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:41,380
Even if that conversation is, we got so many priorities.

1506
01:45:42,340 --> 01:45:44,560
We need to extend this for another year.

1507
01:45:45,220 --> 01:45:46,040
City Attorney.

1508
01:45:46,420 --> 01:45:46,860
Thank you, Mayor.

1509
01:45:46,980 --> 01:45:48,500
I have a suggestion for council.

1510
01:45:48,900 --> 01:45:52,540
Before I make that suggestion, I wanted to point out that nothing in this resolution

1511
01:45:52,540 --> 01:45:57,180
or the state law that we are tempted to comply with by opting out for

1512
01:45:57,180 --> 01:46:01,060
it's the city from continuing to explore this or adopt regulations in the future.

1513
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:06,080
So I just want to say that first, there's nothing that this is not stopped us from in the future,

1514
01:46:06,340 --> 01:46:08,060
adopting graywater treatment, what's regulations.

1515
01:46:08,980 --> 01:46:12,180
My suggestion for Council to consider is,

1516
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,220
I'm ending if this is the right one.

1517
01:46:15,260 --> 01:46:19,320
Go, you could amend the resolution not to provide a sunset date on the resolution,

1518
01:46:19,500 --> 01:46:22,880
so not really sure how the board points we send it to the state.

1519
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:27,080
I don't know that that would mean anything or do anything for purposes of complying

1520
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:36,240
or for the state's purposes, however, you could either as a counselor to be a

1521
01:46:36,240 --> 01:46:40,980
Vega, or suggested direct staff to come back, or you could add a provision

1522
01:46:41,860 --> 01:46:45,720
to the Resolution Directive staff to continue its work to come back with

1523
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:51,340
recommendations and options within nine months of the date that you pass

1524
01:46:51,340 --> 01:46:56,180
this resolution. So that way at least put it in the resolution, it memorializes

1525
01:46:56,180 --> 01:47:01,160
the direction as opposed to only being a memorialized in a minute, for example.

1526
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:06,980
So if you want something in the resolution, I would recommend going that route of adding

1527
01:47:06,980 --> 01:47:10,840
a fourth section at the bottom of page 1.

1528
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:14,400
I have some proposed language if you're interested in that option.

1529
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:17,380
But I wanted to put that on the table for you to discuss.

1530
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:25,760
So we could potentially put that put a date or a certain timeframe, or we could keep it vague

1531
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:32,220
as well and say with the intention to direct staff to come back at a later date, keep it open

1532
01:47:32,220 --> 01:47:32,760
ended?

1533
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:35,420
Would you like to hear the language answer?

1534
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:38,580
Came up with, we'll see if this works and we can change this if Council wants.

1535
01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:43,900
So it would be a new section for, and I would say, the City Council further direct staff to

1536
01:47:43,900 --> 01:47:49,120
explore a free water treatment works, regulations, I'm using the right terminology director

1537
01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:54,960
and to report back to City Council with options and recommendations within nine months of

1538
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:56,220
date of this resolution.

1539
01:47:57,980 --> 01:48:01,080
Something going with you, but you have in there in my months.

1540
01:48:02,540 --> 01:48:02,780
All right.

1541
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:04,600
Thank you.

1542
01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:06,360
I'd like to hear from others.

1543
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:09,080
And, you know, remember the goal of the conversation.

1544
01:48:09,340 --> 01:48:10,920
We want to get to a consensus here.

1545
01:48:11,420 --> 01:48:15,980
So, how do others feel about what's been discussed so far?

1546
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:19,700
Can I jump in?

1547
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:21,360
So, fully in agreement.

1548
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:22,620
I love that sort of city attorney.

1549
01:48:22,620 --> 01:48:23,000
Great job.

1550
01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:24,940
I have a question that is completely on the relationship.

1551
01:48:24,940 --> 01:48:26,900
started to bring it back to the actual presentation.

1552
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:31,840
Can you go back to the slide where you have the savings over and then the return

1553
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:32,220
investment.

1554
01:48:32,940 --> 01:48:36,000
So I see the top and I see that what I'm really interested in is the bottom.

1555
01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:41,380
So that bottom section, the actual gallons that are being saved for a household is actually pretty

1556
01:48:41,380 --> 01:48:41,840
substantial.

1557
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:45,860
But then I see the cost benefit in terms of dollar figures.

1558
01:48:45,940 --> 01:48:50,120
So that is not using the 33 to 65-year return of investment.

1559
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:54,720
Is that, do you think the primary force for people not actually opting into this process?

1560
01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:58,700
And then secondly, a second part of the question, have you seen from all the programs that

1561
01:48:58,700 --> 01:48:59,060
do exist?

1562
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:03,660
Is there any city that's or any municipality that's subsidizing that up for cost for customers?

1563
01:49:05,900 --> 01:49:08,620
I am not aware of those details again.

1564
01:49:08,620 --> 01:49:12,740
This is third party independent, water, efficiency, non-profit.

1565
01:49:17,300 --> 01:49:23,240
I do not know if any of these other communities have done up front subsidies.

1566
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:33,240
You know, I think that the challenge with the savings is it's even in this scenario it's

1567
01:49:34,060 --> 01:49:41,180
and this is a decent amount of use, this is a single family with four users that are doing a decent

1568
01:49:41,180 --> 01:49:49,540
number of flushes and the actual cost per gallon in the gallon saved. It is modest and it is a long

1569
01:49:49,540 --> 01:49:59,160
So I don't know if it's that the ROI doesn't pencil because frankly water is still pretty cheap on a per gallon basis or if it's people

1570
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:05,680
Have different opinions about whether it's something they want to manage in their home

1571
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:10,080
Hey counselor top of you. They have this would be something I would imagine we were doing fact with that

1572
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:12,020
You know staff analysis once we were

1573
01:50:12,020 --> 01:50:18,800
Doing that and whatever time frame you guys direct staff to bring it back is absolutely we would we would do more

1574
01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:27,120
detail analysis of other programs and frankly, if other communities do adopt programs ahead

1575
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:33,940
of the deadline, that'll be another thing we can look at as a city manager, don't we

1576
01:50:33,940 --> 01:50:38,600
mention we haven't seen a lot of the neighbors move forward with that so we would have to

1577
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:43,060
look at what's out there in terms of people that they're had previous programs or adopted in the

1578
01:50:43,060 --> 01:50:47,720
ahead of the deadline. I appreciate it. I have that question before the other discussion to you

1579
01:50:47,720 --> 01:50:49,400
but I just wanted to get up back to you.

1580
01:50:49,620 --> 01:50:49,840
Thank you.

1581
01:50:50,020 --> 01:50:50,260
No worries.

1582
01:50:51,500 --> 01:50:55,420
OK, I just wanted to make sure I give everyone an opportunity

1583
01:50:55,420 --> 01:50:57,200
to speak if they'd like to.

1584
01:50:57,320 --> 01:50:58,500
Are there any thoughts from other Councillors

1585
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,380
on what's been discussed so far?

1586
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:04,960
Or are we happy to take entertainment motion as well?

1587
01:51:05,180 --> 01:51:06,460
But I want to give folks an opportunity

1588
01:51:06,460 --> 01:51:07,920
to speak if it's like Councillor Barnes.

1589
01:51:08,500 --> 01:51:09,100
Thank you, Mayor.

1590
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:12,760
I can confirm the Councillor Samson

1591
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:14,920
has been asking for this for four years.

1592
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:24,500
I was there and I heard you and just wanted to say I guess and I appreciate all the background

1593
01:51:24,500 --> 01:51:36,800
on this and I do feel like we we don't have enough reason I don't have enough reason to accept

1594
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:42,660
the resolution as it is I would like to see it amended and I would like to engage the experts

1595
01:51:42,660 --> 01:51:47,420
that we have in our community, as we're having any other groups, because there are a lot

1596
01:51:47,420 --> 01:51:47,820
of questions.

1597
01:51:48,620 --> 01:51:53,160
This, that bottom section is kind of mysterious to me of that data.

1598
01:51:53,740 --> 01:51:59,900
Yeah, those are data, but I don't know that that's not convincing enough to me that we

1599
01:51:59,900 --> 01:52:06,520
shouldn't do it, especially in the light of what a resource use and it also gets an

1600
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:10,880
education to people to think about, not flesh and talk to somebody

1601
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:11,640
times maybe.

1602
01:52:13,260 --> 01:52:18,020
So I would like to see, I would like to see something amended,

1603
01:52:18,640 --> 01:52:22,720
and then we come back, definitely revisit this in nine months,

1604
01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:26,720
and I appreciate all our counselors,

1605
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:30,360
bringing all that forward to help me understand as well.

1606
01:52:30,820 --> 01:52:34,500
And when you say amended, are you in favor of what

1607
01:52:34,500 --> 01:52:41,620
Councillor Samson brought up and putting or what the city attorney may have brought up by putting a specific timeline nine months ten months six months

1608
01:52:41,620 --> 01:52:43,260
I like or

1609
01:52:43,260 --> 01:52:43,920
City attorney

1610
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:50,440
That language that proposed language. Yeah, okay. Can we can we can we use that as kind of the baseline right now?

1611
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:54,960
Because every company is using what city attorney bought board because if that's fine

1612
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,220
I think that's fine. I think it gives

1613
01:52:57,220 --> 01:53:02,420
The next council the opportunity to make determination to go forward. So I'm perfectly fine with that

1614
01:53:02,420 --> 01:53:02,920
All

1615
01:53:05,070 --> 01:53:08,070
right, any other questions, comments,

1616
01:53:08,610 --> 01:53:10,650
something to bring up?

1617
01:53:11,450 --> 01:53:16,470
Well, I'm hearing from a consensus of a many in the motion.

1618
01:53:16,590 --> 01:53:20,390
It looks like they stop with that proposed question.

1619
01:53:20,590 --> 01:53:23,430
It looks like folks are supportive of our city attorney suggestion.

1620
01:53:23,710 --> 01:53:25,610
I've always still need to make a vote.

1621
01:53:26,230 --> 01:53:29,650
So we need to make a motion and do a vote on that.

1622
01:53:29,890 --> 01:53:32,030
And so if somebody feels prepared to do that, they call this.

1623
01:53:32,770 --> 01:53:33,910
I'm sort of OK.

1624
01:53:33,910 --> 01:53:36,390
I'm not sure I'm going to do all your words of that.

1625
01:53:36,590 --> 01:53:37,430
I'm happy to do it.

1626
01:53:37,550 --> 01:53:38,450
I just don't have it.

1627
01:53:38,550 --> 01:53:39,390
Do you mind re-reviewing?

1628
01:53:39,410 --> 01:53:46,110
You can look to me to just be a remote motion, and now, and I, but I have it all tied down.

1629
01:53:46,450 --> 01:53:51,550
Okay, so what you're saying is I can make the first part of the motion, and then say with

1630
01:53:51,550 --> 01:53:57,990
staff, you can say, so make the motion and then say with an amendment to add a new section

1631
01:53:57,990 --> 01:54:04,970
for to read as follows for the city attorney, and then I'll read it.

1632
01:54:05,150 --> 01:54:05,630
That work.

1633
01:54:10,770 --> 01:54:10,990
Okay.

1634
01:54:11,230 --> 01:54:12,110
I'm going to try to do that.

1635
01:54:12,230 --> 01:54:17,650
I moved to approval resolution number 2025-73, opting out of enacting gray water regulations

1636
01:54:17,650 --> 01:54:25,050
and prohibiting the use of gray water and the installation of gray water treatment works with

1637
01:54:25,050 --> 01:54:33,530
And at the amendment with a new section four, that states, that will stay as follows.

1638
01:54:33,790 --> 01:54:39,130
So, it will say the City Council further direct city staff to explore local greywater

1639
01:54:39,130 --> 01:54:45,490
trees that looks for regulations and to report that city council with options and recommendations

1640
01:54:45,490 --> 01:54:48,970
within nine months of the day of passage of this resolution.

1641
01:54:56,800 --> 01:54:59,940
As stated by our city attorney, correct?

1642
01:55:00,020 --> 01:55:01,160
I don't know, correct.

1643
01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:02,260
Okay, okay.

1644
01:55:02,940 --> 01:55:07,440
All right, so that motion has been placed and has been seconded.

1645
01:55:08,140 --> 01:55:09,700
Many further comments or discussion.

1646
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:13,260
Okay, all those in favor of be say aye.

1647
01:55:13,440 --> 01:55:13,700
Aye.

1648
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:15,640
Any opposed say no?

1649
01:55:16,420 --> 01:55:18,640
Okay, now the pose that does pass unanimously.

1650
01:55:18,900 --> 01:55:23,220
Thank you for that discussion and for that compromise.

1651
01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:27,420
I appreciate that from both Council and staff.

1652
01:55:30,350 --> 01:55:36,270
All right, last item on the regular business is at an end.

1653
01:55:36,610 --> 01:55:39,930
Resolution 2025 to SD1, supporting the city of Lafayette's

1654
01:55:39,930 --> 01:55:43,450
Validate shoes to see funding recreation center improvements and

1655
01:55:43,450 --> 01:55:45,670
use of center and service center improvements.

1656
01:55:45,790 --> 01:55:47,790
We have a system door city manager.

1657
01:55:48,350 --> 01:55:48,890
I'll see you all here.

1658
01:55:49,550 --> 01:55:50,730
This is a good evening Mayor and Council.

1659
01:55:50,770 --> 01:55:52,910
I have a very brief presentation for you tonight.

1660
01:55:52,910 --> 01:55:55,390
regarding resolution number 25, 61,

1661
01:55:55,710 --> 01:55:57,050
considering the resolution of support

1662
01:55:57,050 --> 01:55:59,510
for Lafayette ballot issue to see.

1663
01:56:00,370 --> 01:56:01,650
So I was mentioned in the brief presentation,

1664
01:56:01,910 --> 01:56:03,790
I'll talk to the background of the Capital Abond Initiative

1665
01:56:03,790 --> 01:56:06,430
as well as the Fair Campaign Practices Act,

1666
01:56:06,590 --> 01:56:07,650
and then turn it over for questions

1667
01:56:07,650 --> 01:56:08,950
in the proposed motion letting go.

1668
01:56:09,770 --> 01:56:12,350
So as you'll recall, throughout the year,

1669
01:56:12,530 --> 01:56:13,890
staff and council have been engaging

1670
01:56:13,890 --> 01:56:17,150
in discussions regarding the capital bond initiative,

1671
01:56:17,510 --> 01:56:19,130
and that began in January or workshop

1672
01:56:19,130 --> 01:56:21,590
with initial discussions of this proposal

1673
01:56:21,590 --> 01:56:25,730
some projects that we're being considered. Staff are turned to your February workshop to

1674
01:56:25,730 --> 01:56:29,590
prioritize those projects with Council to discuss financial analysis and then scope

1675
01:56:29,590 --> 01:56:33,570
polling and community engagement activities. Staff and consultants,

1676
01:56:33,790 --> 01:56:37,630
team then conducted the engagement and polling and then reported findings to you that you're

1677
01:56:37,630 --> 01:56:42,190
made a workshop. And then over the summer, we came for a series of meetings to receive

1678
01:56:42,190 --> 01:56:46,130
direction from Council, report out and continue work on the community outreach and

1679
01:56:46,130 --> 01:56:51,430
education. Ultimately culminating in your meeting on August 19th, where Council

1680
01:56:51,430 --> 01:56:55,130
certified ballot language and a dissipation of the election next week.

1681
01:56:55,850 --> 01:56:59,330
So as a reminder, the direction from council that meeting was to move forward with three

1682
01:56:59,330 --> 01:57:03,810
projects for this capital bond issue, which were the construction of a new Civic Center,

1683
01:57:04,050 --> 01:57:08,050
renovation of the portion of the Bob Birder Recreation Center, and then expansion and renovation

1684
01:57:08,050 --> 01:57:13,450
of this Parks and Public Works Service Center. That would all be done in one question supported

1685
01:57:13,450 --> 01:57:22,540
by a general obligation bond funded by a temporary property tax increase over 20 years. As you

1686
01:57:22,540 --> 01:57:27,420
is bold into the Fair Campaign Practices Act, which does place restrictions on the use of public

1687
01:57:27,420 --> 01:57:33,160
funds and city resources to engage in campaigning for or against a ballot issue and dispensing

1688
01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:37,700
information and connection with local or statewide ballot issues. However, as the governing

1689
01:57:37,700 --> 01:57:42,620
body, it does allow the city council to take a position on ballot issues through the passage of

1690
01:57:42,620 --> 01:57:48,100
a resolution that would urge electors to vote for or against an issue. So the resolution was

1691
01:57:48,100 --> 01:57:49,640
including your packet this evening.

1692
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:53,160
Supporting this ballot issue and I'll turn all the free questions.

1693
01:57:53,460 --> 01:57:54,860
Otherwise there's motion language on the screen.

1694
01:57:55,980 --> 01:57:57,580
Awesome, thank you so much.

1695
01:57:57,940 --> 01:58:00,620
Yeah, as mentioned, this is a topic that we have been discussing

1696
01:58:00,620 --> 01:58:04,340
for quite some time now and now it's on the ballots.

1697
01:58:05,340 --> 01:58:06,800
Which has already been issued.

1698
01:58:07,020 --> 01:58:09,600
So some folks have already voted, some have not.

1699
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:13,320
And so are there any comments, questions on this item?

1700
01:58:16,500 --> 01:58:19,940
Yes, I'm struggling with this one because I feel

1701
01:58:19,940 --> 01:58:22,580
like what we did was we put this out on the ballot

1702
01:58:22,580 --> 01:58:25,360
and I very much value the right of voters

1703
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:29,960
to make their decision on this without any undue influence

1704
01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:30,600
at all.

1705
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:38,060
So I'm hesitant to try to vote to sway for any reason,

1706
01:58:38,460 --> 01:58:39,360
because we support.

1707
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:45,580
And I do know that council is not unanimous in whether or not

1708
01:58:45,580 --> 01:58:47,780
these all three should be funded.

1709
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:53,760
So, I don't know, I mean, we have to do what we have to do,

1710
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:58,220
but I just thought I'd say a little uncomfortable

1711
01:58:58,220 --> 01:59:01,980
with us as a council supporting doing a motion

1712
01:59:01,980 --> 01:59:05,560
to support when really what I think we want

1713
01:59:05,560 --> 01:59:08,840
is the public to decide on their own what works for them.

1714
01:59:09,060 --> 01:59:11,320
Of course, that's fair and understandable.

1715
01:59:13,140 --> 01:59:20,600
I'll just quickly say, you know, it's important to be educated and informed, whether you are in support or against this resolution.

1716
01:59:20,900 --> 01:59:22,620
Sorry, this ballot initiative.

1717
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:31,000
You know, let's take please take the opportunity to reach out to folks that that are directly impacted by these.

1718
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:39,440
And I would say all of lofty residents are when you, if you, you may not visit the service center every day or the city hall every day or the rest center every day.

1719
01:59:39,440 --> 01:59:47,820
But you do receive tremendous amount of benefits from those facilities.

1720
01:59:48,720 --> 01:59:52,040
As we mentioned in our service center, that's where we have, you know,

1721
01:59:52,100 --> 01:59:59,400
if you ever need help from the fire department or an ambulance or our snow plows during the wintertime,

1722
01:59:59,580 --> 01:59:59,960
that's where the...

1723
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:11,540
Those vehicles, our public works vehicles, our parks and wreck vehicles, all those city fleets to the vehicles are maintained.

1724
02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:26,080
If you need help from city staff that we're here in this building, some folks haven't been past the main entry door and so you haven't seen the whole thing, but it has, you know, there's a lot to this building.

1725
02:00:27,620 --> 02:00:30,220
And there could be opportunity for more.

1726
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:32,640
There's also, you know, a rec center,

1727
02:00:32,780 --> 02:00:34,660
or below the rec center, Bob L. Burger,

1728
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:39,380
shout out to the former mayor of Bob L. Burger, rec center.

1729
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:42,500
We, you know, folks have spent time there,

1730
02:00:42,520 --> 02:00:45,240
have noticed that the whole closure on several occasions

1731
02:00:46,200 --> 02:00:47,760
have noticed, you know, things going on,

1732
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:49,340
but at the same time, you know,

1733
02:00:49,380 --> 02:00:51,640
I just wanted to, you know, bring these items up

1734
02:00:51,640 --> 02:00:53,800
because I want to make sure people are educated and formed

1735
02:00:53,800 --> 02:00:56,980
on why the city feels that it makes these improvements.

1736
02:00:57,240 --> 02:01:01,220
It's also important, as mentioned, several meetings that these are large capital projects that

1737
02:01:01,220 --> 02:01:08,560
have not had any updates, are significant updates in over 30 years and in reality projects

1738
02:01:08,560 --> 02:01:11,960
like to this scale should be updated every 10 or so years.

1739
02:01:12,580 --> 02:01:18,620
So this council is doing its best to provide that opportunity for the residents to make those

1740
02:01:18,620 --> 02:01:22,780
necessarily update necessary updates, and at the end of the day, as Ms.

1741
02:01:22,780 --> 02:01:26,020
Councillor Samson mentioned, if you feel like you've looked into this and you've

1742
02:01:26,020 --> 02:01:29,800
just agreed that it's totally okay, and like, as she also mentioned, this

1743
02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:33,800
council is not unanimous on this either, and so that's totally fair.

1744
02:01:34,180 --> 02:01:40,160
The goal is just to make sure you are educated and form before you make your vote, and

1745
02:01:40,160 --> 02:01:43,800
then others folks advocating against this, which is fair as well, make sure you reach out

1746
02:01:43,800 --> 02:01:45,840
to them and hear their side as well.

1747
02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:49,400
I'm here all perspectives before you make your vote on any item.

1748
02:01:50,800 --> 02:01:55,060
And so that being said, does anyone feel comfortable making a motion on

1749
02:01:57,650 --> 02:01:57,810
this?

1750
02:01:57,950 --> 02:01:58,650
Councillor Fox.

1751
02:01:58,690 --> 02:02:06,450
I move to approve resolution number, 2025, 61 supporting City of Ophia, ballot issue, 2C, funding

1752
02:02:06,450 --> 02:02:13,010
rec center improvements, and sorry, rec center improvements, a new civic center and service

1753
02:02:13,010 --> 02:02:14,330
center improvements.

1754
02:02:15,610 --> 02:02:16,890
Do we have a second?

1755
02:02:18,690 --> 02:02:18,830
Okay.

1756
02:02:19,050 --> 02:02:19,950
Motion in the second.

1757
02:02:20,070 --> 02:02:21,510
All those in favor say aye.

1758
02:02:22,130 --> 02:02:22,150
Aye.

1759
02:02:22,490 --> 02:02:23,770
Any of those say no?

1760
02:02:24,090 --> 02:02:24,610
No.

1761
02:02:26,650 --> 02:02:27,250
I just want to make sure.

1762
02:02:27,530 --> 02:02:27,770
Click back.

1763
02:02:27,910 --> 02:02:28,570
You got that.

1764
02:02:31,220 --> 02:02:31,380
Okay.

1765
02:02:31,460 --> 02:02:33,420
So that motion passes five to two.

1766
02:02:36,820 --> 02:02:37,320
All right.

1767
02:02:38,040 --> 02:02:38,200
Um.

1768
02:02:39,820 --> 02:02:40,080
All right.

1769
02:02:40,180 --> 02:02:42,440
We have to switch paths now.

1770
02:02:43,460 --> 02:02:45,340
And move towards.

1771
02:02:45,660 --> 02:02:50,620
And recess to the Board of Directors for Locket City Center.

1772
02:02:50,620 --> 02:02:56,240
the Lafayette Tech Center, example, and Lafayette corporate campus general improvement districts,

1773
02:02:57,420 --> 02:03:04,140
and do a roll call, so we have to follow the same process as Council, and I think we've all been through this at least once or twice already,

1774
02:03:04,980 --> 02:03:10,740
and so the Council knows we have to go through the process of a roll call according to order,

1775
02:03:10,900 --> 02:03:15,140
for the minutes, all that public hearing. So we have four GIDs to get through tonight.

1776
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:17,380
Do we need to start with a roll call?

1777
02:03:17,380 --> 02:03:19,100
Clarke's back.

1778
02:03:19,800 --> 02:03:21,060
Director Barnes.

1779
02:03:22,360 --> 02:03:22,740
Director Freeman.

1780
02:03:23,520 --> 02:03:23,700
Here.

1781
02:03:23,700 --> 02:03:24,540
Director Gallagos.

1782
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:26,140
Chair Mongat.

1783
02:03:26,420 --> 02:03:26,660
Here.

1784
02:03:26,900 --> 02:03:27,940
Director Stanson.

1785
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:29,820
Director Tapia Vega.

1786
02:03:30,460 --> 02:03:30,720
Here.

1787
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:33,040
We have a call.

1788
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:34,520
All right.

1789
02:03:34,640 --> 02:03:35,200
Thank you.

1790
02:03:36,300 --> 02:03:39,400
We have a CFO here to give us some background on some of these topics.

1791
02:03:39,820 --> 02:03:42,940
Yep. So we're here to approve the GIDs.

1792
02:03:43,400 --> 02:03:43,500
So.

1793
02:03:43,900 --> 02:03:44,280
Absolutely.

1794
02:03:45,240 --> 02:03:54,280
Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you up, I'm wondering if I should call the we need to order prior to your presentation and I believe

1795
02:03:56,780 --> 02:04:09,240
I know you're giving back, are you giving background to all of the GIDs or starting with this I'm giving a little bit of background and then talking about the

1796
02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:10,440
I'd like to ask their apologies.

1797
02:04:10,880 --> 02:04:11,580
No, you're great.

1798
02:04:12,260 --> 02:04:12,780
Okay.

1799
02:04:12,920 --> 02:04:13,420
So some background.

1800
02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:14,900
General Improvement Districts are great

1801
02:04:14,900 --> 02:04:16,760
into finance infrastructure on land

1802
02:04:16,760 --> 02:04:17,760
intended for development.

1803
02:04:18,420 --> 02:04:20,400
City administers for GIDs.

1804
02:04:20,780 --> 02:04:23,120
The GIDs are separate budgets from the city budget.

1805
02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:26,740
And city council is the ex officio board of director

1806
02:04:26,740 --> 02:04:29,900
for each GID and must convenes sessions for each

1807
02:04:29,900 --> 02:04:31,440
to approve their respective budgets,

1808
02:04:31,520 --> 02:04:32,820
which is what we're doing this evening.

1809
02:04:33,820 --> 02:04:35,400
So we're going to call to order.

1810
02:04:35,620 --> 02:04:38,180
So for each GID, call to order, approve minutes.

1811
02:04:38,180 --> 02:04:44,380
budget presentation and then a public hearing with the budget resolutions and then we'll adjourn and then go to the next GID budget.

1812
02:04:45,740 --> 02:04:51,000
So, city center is our first one and I would say probably at this point.

1813
02:04:51,320 --> 02:04:52,160
Awesome, yes.

1814
02:04:52,440 --> 02:04:56,240
I will call to order the meeting of the Lafayette City Center General Improvement District.

1815
02:04:59,310 --> 02:05:01,930
So city center is our first one here.

1816
02:05:02,590 --> 02:05:05,230
So this is a motion to approve the minutes.

1817
02:05:05,230 --> 02:05:11,730
I moved to approve the October 15th, 2024, minutes for the City Center General Improvement District Meeting.

1818
02:05:12,470 --> 02:05:12,630
Second.

1819
02:05:13,070 --> 02:05:14,990
All right, we have a motion. Second, all those of the diversity.

1820
02:05:15,750 --> 02:05:18,950
I, I, any opposed men oppose that passes unanimously.

1821
02:05:19,510 --> 02:05:19,870
Thank you.

1822
02:05:20,470 --> 02:05:25,190
Okay. And then the 2022 budget for City Center, which was established in 1998.

1823
02:05:25,670 --> 02:05:28,950
The debt was issued in 1999 and paid off in 2018.

1824
02:05:29,750 --> 02:05:33,230
The condition of improvements is currently being assessed to determine if the GID

1825
02:05:33,230 --> 02:05:40,910
you continue to operate. And the 2026 budget is a no levy of 0.458 nil, which generates

1826
02:05:40,910 --> 02:05:42,750
an assessment of a little over $6,000.

1827
02:05:44,790 --> 02:05:46,730
And then we have public hearing.

1828
02:05:47,170 --> 02:05:51,010
Okay, are there any members of the public that was to speak on this project?

1829
02:05:53,150 --> 02:05:53,870
And let me just

1830
02:05:53,870 --> 02:05:55,370
double check that there aren't any online.

1831
02:05:58,280 --> 02:06:00,280
Okay, seeing that hearing and I'll close the public

1832
02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:00,620
input.

1833
02:06:03,340 --> 02:06:10,140
I move to approve resolution number 2025-01 adopting a budget, making appropriations for the

1834
02:06:10,140 --> 02:06:15,720
budget year, 2026, and approving a mill-levy for the City Center General Improvement District.

1835
02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:17,500
That's right.

1836
02:06:18,930 --> 02:06:20,030
All right.

1837
02:06:20,350 --> 02:06:22,430
I'm motion in the second unit for the discussion.

1838
02:06:23,130 --> 02:06:24,310
All those in favor say aye.

1839
02:06:25,190 --> 02:06:25,950
Any opposed?

1840
02:06:26,630 --> 02:06:27,470
None opposed.

1841
02:06:28,310 --> 02:06:29,150
That passes unanimously.

1842
02:06:30,350 --> 02:06:30,670
All right.

1843
02:06:30,710 --> 02:06:33,450
So, on to the ticks center here, that's the location.

1844
02:06:34,230 --> 02:06:45,450
So I'll adjourn the meeting of the Locked City Center, General Improvement District, and we, and I will call to order the meeting of the Lockheed Tech Center, General Improvement District.

1845
02:06:46,810 --> 02:06:48,390
And we'll take a motion for minutes.

1846
02:06:48,850 --> 02:06:54,210
I move to approve the October 15, 2024 minutes for the Tech Center General Improvement District meeting.

1847
02:06:58,730 --> 02:07:00,990
Okay, motion in a second. All those in favor say aye.

1848
02:07:01,850 --> 02:07:02,610
Any opposed?

1849
02:07:02,610 --> 02:07:04,510
Senate pose that passed unanimously.

1850
02:07:06,930 --> 02:07:09,230
So the tech center, 2026 budget.

1851
02:07:09,330 --> 02:07:11,010
This was established in 1999.

1852
02:07:11,630 --> 02:07:15,830
The debt was issued in 2006, which is scheduled to be paid in full in 2036.

1853
02:07:16,390 --> 02:07:19,270
The balance remaining is a little over 1.2 million.

1854
02:07:20,070 --> 02:07:21,070
As of the end of this year.

1855
02:07:21,270 --> 02:07:22,830
And then the 2026 budget.

1856
02:07:23,290 --> 02:07:26,050
The milleve is 15.697 mills.

1857
02:07:27,390 --> 02:07:30,290
The debt service is 153,000.

1858
02:07:30,290 --> 02:07:36,630
and operating costs are 2,663, so that's the budget for the Texaners.

1859
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:40,020
All right, this is a public hearing.

1860
02:07:40,300 --> 02:07:44,300
Are there any members of the public that wish to speak on a side of?

1861
02:07:44,440 --> 02:07:50,120
Not seeing in person, not seeing any online, so I'll close public input.

1862
02:07:51,300 --> 02:07:53,620
Sorry, I did not want to say anything.

1863
02:07:54,120 --> 02:07:59,900
I'll close public input and we'll move on to a council discussion in a motion.

1864
02:08:00,920 --> 02:08:08,080
I move to approve resolution number 205-01 adopting a budget making preparations for the budget

1865
02:08:08,080 --> 02:08:13,180
year 2026 and approve a mill-love before the tech center general improvement this year.

1866
02:08:18,160 --> 02:08:20,760
Motion in the second all those of you who say aye.

1867
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:21,920
Any opposed?

1868
02:08:22,180 --> 02:08:22,360
No.

1869
02:08:22,620 --> 02:08:22,900
No.

1870
02:08:23,440 --> 02:08:23,740
Okay.

1871
02:08:24,620 --> 02:08:25,300
Thank you.

1872
02:08:25,300 --> 02:08:31,020
And with that, I will adjourn the meeting of the Lockheed Tech Center.

1873
02:08:31,640 --> 02:08:38,540
And I will call to order the meeting of the exemplary general improvement district.

1874
02:08:39,240 --> 02:08:41,080
So this is exemplary is the location.

1875
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:49,140
I moved to approve the October 15th, 2024 minutes for the exemplary general improvement district meeting.

1876
02:08:50,620 --> 02:08:50,860
Second.

1877
02:08:51,560 --> 02:08:56,060
Motion, second, all of those of you who say aye, aye, any opposed, none opposed.

1878
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:57,000
That passed unanimously.

1879
02:08:57,140 --> 02:08:58,340
Thank you.

1880
02:08:58,660 --> 02:09:01,640
So the example of 2026 budget, established in 2002.

1881
02:09:02,420 --> 02:09:05,500
The debt was issued in 2002, and that's been paid off in 2019.

1882
02:09:06,320 --> 02:09:11,120
The condition of improvements, again, is being similar to the ones previously that

1883
02:09:11,120 --> 02:09:15,240
completed their debt is being assessed to determine if the GID should continue to operate.

1884
02:09:15,240 --> 02:09:21,880
The 2026 budget, the Melavie is 0.313 mills, which generates a little over $8,000.

1885
02:09:27,790 --> 02:09:28,290
Okay.

1886
02:09:29,130 --> 02:09:30,390
Some of this is a public hearing.

1887
02:09:30,450 --> 02:09:33,030
Are there any members of the public that we should speak on this item?

1888
02:09:34,570 --> 02:09:36,990
Seeing none in person and seeing none online.

1889
02:09:37,530 --> 02:09:38,770
I'll close public input.

1890
02:09:39,130 --> 02:09:40,230
I'll take a motion please.

1891
02:09:43,670 --> 02:09:46,350
I move to resolution number 285.

1892
02:09:46,570 --> 02:09:50,650
Pass your one adoptee budget making preparations for the budget year 2026.

02:09:50,650 --> 02:09:53,390

1894
02:09:57,050 --> 02:09:57,770

1895
02:09:58,930 --> 02:09:59,110
All right.

1896
02:09:59,230 --> 02:10:00,050
Motion the second.

1897
02:10:00,270 --> 02:10:01,810
All those in favor say aye.

1898
02:10:02,250 --> 02:10:02,810

No.

1900
02:10:03,870 --> 02:10:04,110
No.

1901
02:10:04,970 --> 02:10:06,030
That passes unanimously.

1902
02:10:07,610 --> 02:10:07,930
I'm sorry.

1903
02:10:07,990 --> 02:10:09,770
I'll adjourn the meeting of the exemplary general

1904
02:10:09,770 --> 02:10:11,550
improvement district and I'll open.

1905
02:10:13,630 --> 02:10:14,770
Final one here.

1906
02:10:14,950 --> 02:10:15,630
This is opening.

1907
02:10:15,630 --> 02:10:18,130
I'm calling to order the meeting of the law.

1908
02:10:18,290 --> 02:10:20,690
The corporate campus general improvement district.

1909
02:10:21,090 --> 02:10:22,590
This is corporate campus.

1910
02:10:24,890 --> 02:10:31,050
I'm going to approve the October 15, 2024 minutes for the corporate campus general improvement district meeting.

1911
02:10:31,710 --> 02:10:35,790
Second. Motion and second. All those in favor say hi.

1912
02:10:36,050 --> 02:10:38,730

02:10:39,070 --> 02:10:39,590
Pass unanimously.

1914
02:10:40,770 --> 02:10:42,630
Corporate campus 2020 six budget.

1915
02:10:42,950 --> 02:10:44,490
This was established in 2002.

1916
02:10:45,130 --> 02:10:48,590
Same year as the debt was issued and that's scheduled to be paid in full in 231.

1917
02:10:48,590 --> 02:10:56,310
1. The balance remaining is 895,000 by the end of this year. This budget includes a

1919
02:11:02,830 --> 02:11:04,670
of 4,000 for corporate campus.

1920
02:11:09,520 --> 02:11:14,180
Okay, this is a public hearing. Are there any members of the public that wish to speak on

1921
02:11:14,180 --> 02:11:19,820
this topic? Not seeing any in person. I'm also not seeing any colors online, so I'll close

1922
02:11:19,820 --> 02:11:26,400
public input. And we'll take a motion, please. I moved to approved resolution number

1923
02:11:26,400 --> 02:11:32,240
2025-01 adopting a budget making appropriations for the budget year 2026 and approving

1924
02:11:32,240 --> 02:11:35,360

1925
02:11:36,040 --> 02:11:42,280
Second. My motion. Seconds. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? No, none

1926
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:48,060
opposed. And passes unanimously. Thank you. Thank you. And I will adjourn the meeting of the

1927
02:11:48,060 --> 02:11:54,080
I hope you call the campus general, prove me district, and we will reconvene as a Lafayette City Council.

1928
02:11:56,640 --> 02:11:57,600
All right.

1929
02:11:59,280 --> 02:12:06,260
Through that wraps up our business, our tonight, and we will close with reports.

1930
02:12:07,300 --> 02:12:08,820
The game of city of turn into the board.

1931
02:12:09,180 --> 02:12:11,640
Thank you, Mayor. I don't have any reports to see me.

1932
02:12:11,880 --> 02:12:13,800
Thank you. On to the city manager.

1933
02:12:14,600 --> 02:12:15,940
Thank you, Mayor. Good evening, Council.

1934
02:12:15,940 --> 02:12:24,320
So a few things to note, tonight, so as a reminder, our CV facility has a ballot box drop off at the Lafayette Library.

1935
02:12:24,480 --> 02:12:37,360
It is open until 7 p.m. in November 4, so please stop by if you need to mail or drop off your ballot as I believe mail in is probably too late at this point or if he so definitely just drop it by it's nice and easy and go check out the book while you're there.

1936
02:12:37,360 --> 02:12:41,240
Also, residents enrolled in the Republic's three-car program.

1937
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:45,400
We have our annual leave in branch pickups, so they can set out leaves,

1938
02:12:45,620 --> 02:12:49,980
grass-clipping weeds, bundle tree branches on the curbside, on the following dates.

1939
02:12:50,320 --> 02:12:54,260
As a reminder, each household may place up to 20 bags of leaves and five bundles of

1940
02:12:54,260 --> 02:12:56,580
shrubbery or tree limbs, securely tied.

1941
02:12:57,040 --> 02:13:01,800
So, on number four, November 1st, the South and South Pole, South of South

1942
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:05,660
Boulder Road and East and West of Highway 2A7, you can see the map also going line

1943
02:13:05,660 --> 02:13:10,900
this is too small, but November 8th, North of South Boulder Road, and east of Highway 227,

1944
02:13:11,360 --> 02:13:16,340
and then our last one, November 15th, which is west of 287, and North of South Boulder Road.

1945
02:13:17,460 --> 02:13:22,440
And then we are pleased to host our internal third annual employee appreciation events.

1946
02:13:22,760 --> 02:13:29,320
This will be on Wednesday, November 5th, and most not all city facilities will be closed from 3 to 5 pm,

1947
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:34,460
and we'll be getting messaging out on our website about that as well. This is where we unveil

1948
02:13:34,460 --> 02:13:38,260
of our core championships, and our years of service award, and it's been really fun

1949
02:13:38,260 --> 02:13:43,440
those studies these over years. So we're looking forward to that internally. Looking ahead,

1950
02:13:43,560 --> 02:13:49,760
we want to note that our next Tuesday meeting is scheduled for Monday and observance of election

1951
02:13:49,760 --> 02:13:55,300
days. So Monday, November 3rd, we're going to be doing a presentation on the 1226 mental health

1952
02:13:55,300 --> 02:14:00,920
and human services funding recommendations for the next year. A presentation on the 701 concept

1953
02:14:00,920 --> 02:14:05,460
Park Design, kind of updating where we've been over the past several months, public hearing

1954
02:14:05,460 --> 02:14:11,140
on the sketch plan process amendments, first reading of items pertaining to fees and purchasing.

1955
02:14:11,380 --> 02:14:15,600
This is the ordinance that we've been talking about that kind of removes all of the fees

1956
02:14:15,600 --> 02:14:20,020
in various sections, reestablishes a new chapter, that way we can have it all cleaned up, moving

1957
02:14:20,020 --> 02:14:20,880
into 0.26.

1958
02:14:21,760 --> 02:14:26,860
And then a motion to accept a Colorado 42 IGA with the city of Louisville.

1959
02:14:26,860 --> 02:14:32,340
are the funding agent of this larger project. Our project is from Highway 42 from Pascal,

1960
02:14:33,440 --> 02:14:37,560
and Northward. And then November 18th, we'll have a presentation like we noted on the

1961
02:14:37,560 --> 02:14:43,360
parks recreation and golf fee philosophy update, first reading of our last and final 25 by

1962
02:14:43,360 --> 02:14:49,000
budget supplemental, and then your newly established kind of annual board commission and committee

1963
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:55,360
appointments. As I have, first nightmare. Thank you. Thank you so much. All right, we'll wrap up

1964
02:14:55,360 --> 02:14:58,300
the next meeting with Councilor Orbs.

1965
02:14:58,540 --> 02:14:59,920
Start down here, Councilor Tampio.

1966
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:11,680
Thank you. No reports tonight, thanks. The regional homeless working group, for a bold afternoon. Matt, and this is the first time I had a chance to get back to you all.

1967
02:15:12,420 --> 02:15:26,260
They are looking at two different things. First of all, we have an ADU financing roundtable that will happen this Friday, October 31 from 10 until 1130 at the community room in Willowbee, corner.

1968
02:15:26,260 --> 02:15:31,620
There are going to have a variety of lenders, CDFIs,

1969
02:15:33,280 --> 02:15:37,420
Chaffa, they're basically financial person, people who are going to say,

1970
02:15:37,640 --> 02:15:42,740
how are we going to help people understand how do you finance an ADO on your property?

1971
02:15:44,380 --> 02:15:48,760
The working group has also decided that in each one of the communities,

1972
02:15:49,100 --> 02:15:53,880
there should be something that information we need to get out and not just on a website.

1973
02:15:54,780 --> 02:16:03,360
And there is the request to do whether it's a fair, an ADU fair, or an informational event, maybe

1974
02:16:03,360 --> 02:16:05,840
on a library, or something to that effect.

1975
02:16:06,620 --> 02:16:09,120
This, I've told them this is not the time.

1976
02:16:09,200 --> 02:16:13,720
November is not the time to do this, but it should be moving forward on that.

1977
02:16:13,720 --> 02:16:18,800
But I don't know who will take my place on that committee in another few months, so I'm

1978
02:16:18,800 --> 02:16:23,100
saying it out there to whomever is better than it.

1979
02:16:24,400 --> 02:16:30,720
Another really interesting thing, if you're interested in ADUs and the promotion of ADUs,

1980
02:16:31,220 --> 02:16:36,980
there is a website called Launch Longmont and that's got some great information on it on

1981
02:16:36,980 --> 02:16:37,560
ADUs.

1982
02:16:38,700 --> 02:16:43,440
The second thing I was going to say is I don't know when we're going to talk about the epic

1983
02:16:43,440 --> 02:16:44,520
grant.

1984
02:16:44,520 --> 02:16:45,160
I'm going to bring it up.

1985
02:16:45,160 --> 02:16:45,820
Where are you?

1986
02:16:45,940 --> 02:16:50,820
Because I was going to say, I have just some general thoughts, so maybe you bring it up,

1987
02:16:51,420 --> 02:16:56,880
but I, you know, with somebody who works in grants at the state, I'm going to say what's

1988
02:16:56,880 --> 02:17:03,500
being requested is that we're a fiscal agent, which means we actually take on the liability.

1989
02:17:04,440 --> 02:17:09,680
So no matter what we do, we would have to be the ones that not only submit the application,

1990
02:17:09,680 --> 02:17:14,820
We would be the ones that are in contact with the state because that's the way it works.

1991
02:17:15,320 --> 02:17:16,850
So we would receive it.

1992
02:17:17,540 --> 02:17:20,980
We would be responsible for submitting reports ultimately.

1993
02:17:22,160 --> 02:17:23,460
We would be responsible.

1994
02:17:24,540 --> 02:17:29,260
Should anything not meet up to what we sign in that agreement?

1995
02:17:29,800 --> 02:17:31,140
We the city would be responsible.

1996
02:17:31,880 --> 02:17:34,980
So if you, if, you know, if it comes down,

1997
02:17:34,980 --> 02:17:52,000
The granting agency gives to the grantee or the grant recipient and then sub-receive, we have a sub-recipient, and so in that whole process, just know that from the state's perspective, the city is responsible.

1998
02:17:53,720 --> 02:17:59,800
So there are usually fiscal agents, there are groups that can serve as fiscal agents.

1999
02:18:00,200 --> 02:18:05,880
It is true that you can take a percentage off the top in order to fund your administration

2000
02:18:05,880 --> 02:18:06,760
of that.

2001
02:18:06,980 --> 02:18:14,060
But again, you also take on all the responsibility of that grant and all the activities of

2002
02:18:14,060 --> 02:18:14,640
that grant.

2003
02:18:14,940 --> 02:18:20,960
So I think I don't know if the city has a staff member or not, but I would say there's a

2004
02:18:20,960 --> 02:18:27,420
of questions that I think we might need to delve into a little deeper, not familiar with this

2005
02:18:27,420 --> 02:18:35,540
grant, the CDPHG grant on this, but from a general perspective, just wanted to clarify what

2006
02:18:35,540 --> 02:18:37,020
was being asked tonight.

2007
02:18:39,230 --> 02:18:40,070
Thank you.

2008
02:18:40,250 --> 02:18:40,350
Thank you.

2009
02:18:41,130 --> 02:18:41,370
Yeah.

2010
02:18:41,370 --> 02:18:42,210
Well, let's start there.

2011
02:18:43,570 --> 02:18:52,270
So my understanding of the request is the group Lafayette communities that care, they have

2012
02:18:52,270 --> 02:19:01,470
partnership with Carter Department, Bridges of Opportunity, and they've been doing lots

2013
02:19:01,470 --> 02:19:10,810
of work generally, and previously had, you know, really strong relationship with Boulder County

2014
02:19:10,810 --> 02:19:18,530
public health. That, you know, some of that support fell away, given what's going on with the

2015
02:19:18,530 --> 02:19:28,670
in their budget issues, challenges, and they were looking for a new fiscal agent to go to the state.

2016
02:19:29,450 --> 02:19:33,210
And Sister Carmen was looking promising, I want to understand.

2017
02:19:34,110 --> 02:19:41,810
But because of what's going on right now with food support and SNAP, Sister Carmen had to really say,

2018
02:19:42,050 --> 02:19:45,870
we just need to be like hyper-focused on what's right ahead of us right now.

2019
02:19:45,870 --> 02:19:50,430
And so that's why it's to us.

2020
02:19:51,150 --> 02:19:56,390
And so, you know, those are all really good points

2021
02:19:56,390 --> 02:20:00,050
and I probably agree almost all in terms of challenges

2022
02:20:00,050 --> 02:20:02,270
and things we need to explore with this.

2023
02:20:03,430 --> 02:20:09,630
But sometimes the world doesn't go according to plan.

2024
02:20:10,470 --> 02:20:11,970
And I think we're in one of those moments.

2025
02:20:13,270 --> 02:20:19,370
And while I have a lot of hesitations and you know concern about can we really do this, how do we do this?

2026
02:20:19,610 --> 02:20:27,350
It seems like a really good group of folks that are doing really good work now and have a good idea of what they can do with this money.

2027
02:20:28,890 --> 02:20:34,970
And while, yeah, all those things you said Nicole, I'm sure there's others too that make me hesitate.

2028
02:20:38,150 --> 02:20:43,970
I would hate to lose that level of support for our community that currently exists and could be amplified.

2029
02:20:45,910 --> 02:20:53,030
If we can step in and give them the framework so that they can go and do the good work.

2030
02:20:53,690 --> 02:21:01,170
So, you know, I'm interested in, I think, hearing what the rest of Council thinks in terms

2031
02:21:01,170 --> 02:21:06,150
of this and what my kind of ask would be in terms of direction would be directing staff

2032
02:21:07,810 --> 02:21:10,050
to look at this more basically, right?

2033
02:21:11,770 --> 02:21:16,970
And not necessarily committing us to this now, but, you know, saying, hey, like, let's see

2034
02:21:16,970 --> 02:21:17,930
if we can do this.

2035
02:21:17,930 --> 02:21:28,270
I know it's not ideal, I'm sure they agree it's not ideal, but, you know, sometimes we just need to step into the void that's been placed in front of us.

2036
02:21:28,550 --> 02:21:30,670
Great, thank you. I'd like our city to turn you into Wayne, please.

2037
02:21:32,130 --> 02:21:35,790
Thank you, Mayor, and certainly Council, should continue our discussion.

2038
02:21:36,090 --> 02:21:42,370
I did want to share a couple of concerns, so it's my understanding that staff received the proposal today.

2039
02:21:42,370 --> 02:21:48,190
And we haven't had an opportunity to look at any of the background documents we don't know about the program.

2040
02:21:48,290 --> 02:21:55,070
We don't know the requirements that will be attached to the grant funds.

2041
02:21:55,850 --> 02:22:02,490
And just in general, in a situation like this, we've been in similar partnerships in the past where we've provided

2042
02:22:02,490 --> 02:22:13,490
We've been an applicant or a backbone organization for a grant program, but we've had time to review the underlying grant agreements and in the case of a recent one I can think of.

2043
02:22:13,750 --> 02:22:26,770
I was able to have the opportunity to insert terms that would protect the city from liability if there was negligence or default by the co applicant and we're not being given that opportunity here.

2044
02:22:26,770 --> 02:22:44,610
So I have concerns in terms of protecting the city that we would at least need time to look at everything and it sounds like we haven't been given a very long timeline here. In fact, I don't know for sure, but it sounds like they are looking for an answer this week.

2045
02:22:44,610 --> 02:22:53,010
And just with workloads and how long these agreements tend to be, and the program details, I am concerned about staff being able to take a

2046
02:22:53,010 --> 02:23:00,610
diligent look at the very least at the underlying documents. So it would just like you to consider that.

2047
02:23:02,410 --> 02:23:08,090
There's needs to be there needs to be legal review and there needs to be staff review to make sure that we have the resources.

2048
02:23:09,290 --> 02:23:14,390
to be the backbone organization, there are just from looking at the email, there are a lot of

2049
02:23:14,390 --> 02:23:18,190
obligations on the city, and I just want to make sure that we're protected, and I'm not

2050
02:23:18,190 --> 02:23:22,030
confident in that right now without having an opportunity to look at what's involved.

2051
02:23:23,870 --> 02:23:28,750
So I'm hearing hesitancy from Councillor Samson, I'm hearing.

2052
02:23:29,590 --> 02:23:35,610
I want to clarify, I wasn't trying to be hesitant other than, I just feel like, you know,

2053
02:23:35,610 --> 02:23:41,270
somebody give me five hours and I can probably get through all of this and give you a good summary.

2054
02:23:41,510 --> 02:23:46,980
I feel bad because this is what I've been doing is, you know, grants, but I can't even tell you,

2055
02:23:48,010 --> 02:23:53,050
it might have federal regulations in it. If it does, that's a whole other animal. I don't know.

2056
02:23:53,070 --> 02:23:58,430
I don't know enough. So I just don't want to make the decision immediate without knowing more information.

2057
02:23:58,490 --> 02:24:05,130
Of course. I don't know. I'm not just for, I mean, I'm not, I guess what I'm going to say is

2058
02:24:05,930 --> 02:24:16,130
I'm hearing that folks would like to look into this more thoroughly, however at the same time I'm also hearing that there is a sense of urgency due to, you know,

2059
02:24:17,070 --> 02:24:23,170
due to the organization needing some fiscal agent to be established by the end of the week or by Monday.

2060
02:24:23,170 --> 02:24:44,750
Oh, and so yeah, and I do understand that the organization is in a bit of a bind because they did have previous commitments as they mentioned at public comment with other organizations that fell through at the last minute and that's why I wear the situation cities sort of coming in as sort of a you know last minute potential support system.

2061
02:24:45,730 --> 02:24:50,030
And so, but I, at the same time, I'm also hearing from Council Freedland that he would

2062
02:24:50,030 --> 02:24:54,770
like at least have to take some time to explore this in the next day or two to see what's

2063
02:24:54,770 --> 02:24:56,170
possible and what's not.

2064
02:24:57,550 --> 02:25:00,190
And could I ask a follow-up question to our city attorney?

2065
02:25:00,830 --> 02:25:05,830
So, in terms of, I think I'm hearing you say, I think two things that, enough time to do

2066
02:25:05,830 --> 02:25:15,490
due diligence to review the RFA detail and the application detail, and also in whatever

2067
02:25:15,490 --> 02:25:23,050
agreement we would have with the subcontractors, I don't know, subrecipents, definitely need

2068
02:25:23,050 --> 02:25:23,590
to review that.

2069
02:25:23,770 --> 02:25:29,770
We would need to develop some sort of MOU or some sort of contract, some sort of agreement.

2070
02:25:30,170 --> 02:25:31,770
Yep, that's right.

2071
02:25:31,770 --> 02:25:38,990
Yeah, usually you get, we apply, we'd receive the funds, and then we'd write a contract with them.

2072
02:25:39,210 --> 02:25:44,170
And often, Council, if I may add, we often approve, we have Council,

2073
02:25:44,410 --> 02:25:51,190
consider in approve a resolution before the application goes in stating that we are partnering.

2074
02:25:52,410 --> 02:25:57,370
So that's clear that at least upfront, we understand the role we have in the application as a co- applicant.

2075
02:25:57,370 --> 02:26:02,570
that's what it is. Again, I don't know enough about this grant program even to say what we need to be in the

2076
02:26:02,570 --> 02:26:09,870
resolution tonight. But we typically have council take action that you as the city are committing

2077
02:26:09,870 --> 02:26:15,170
the city to move forward with this process in case the grant is awarded in which case additional

2078
02:26:15,170 --> 02:26:22,370
council action would be needed. So this would just be a real departure from how we've handled

2079
02:26:22,370 --> 02:26:25,390
that partnerships like this in the past.

2080
02:26:26,130 --> 02:26:27,510
And you do have a meeting on Monday.

2081
02:26:28,250 --> 02:26:31,130
You have a regular meeting on Monday due to the election on Tuesday.

2082
02:26:31,710 --> 02:26:35,370
But it sounds like maybe that's still not enough time for council to take action.

2083
02:26:35,490 --> 02:26:41,570
And again, I'm only saying this from a perspective of ensuring that the cities adequately protected.

2084
02:26:43,570 --> 02:26:47,030
And I just don't have enough information right now, and I haven't reviewed the documents.

2085
02:26:47,030 --> 02:26:48,090
to be able to say, for sure,

2086
02:26:50,530 --> 02:26:53,170
that it would be in the best interest of the city to take action

2087
02:26:53,170 --> 02:26:55,110
this quickly on this program.

2088
02:26:55,730 --> 02:27:00,990
Understood, but just to clarify, in terms of the contract with the subrecipient, that could

2089
02:27:00,990 --> 02:27:03,590
be done after an application was submitted.

2090
02:27:04,950 --> 02:27:09,130
I don't know because I don't know all the details of how the grant programs set up and what

2091
02:27:09,130 --> 02:27:13,410
the requirements for applying, or if that already needed to be in place, I just don't know.

2092
02:27:19,110 --> 02:27:25,850
So, in addition to what our attorney had just brought up, I think council needs to make a decision.

2093
02:27:26,710 --> 02:27:32,230
If this is something that they would like staff to prioritize in the next day or two,

2094
02:27:32,450 --> 02:27:39,950
which means work on that and dig into the background, dig into those requirements as a priority.

2095
02:27:40,450 --> 02:27:48,550
Due to the urgency of the situation or at the same time, do we feel like this is something that we can want to come back at a later date and discuss

2096
02:27:48,550 --> 02:27:51,150
for opportunity in the future.

2097
02:27:52,670 --> 02:27:53,690
It's just a matter of that.

2098
02:27:53,890 --> 02:27:57,550
And then in addition to that, we had to have the issue with a potential resolution

2099
02:27:57,550 --> 02:28:02,190
that Council would need to pass based off the timing of our meeting, which, as mentioned,

2100
02:28:02,390 --> 02:28:04,570
our next meeting would be a Monday evening.

2101
02:28:05,370 --> 02:28:05,970
Yes, Councilor Barnes.

2102
02:28:06,470 --> 02:28:06,870
Thank you, Mayor.

2103
02:28:07,310 --> 02:28:09,670
We talked about extension of the deadline.

2104
02:28:11,050 --> 02:28:16,270
And my experience is that, because we have an ask for an extension to the deadline,

2105
02:28:16,270 --> 02:28:20,730
we don't know that that's possible for applying for this grant, allowing that we could be

2106
02:28:21,170 --> 02:28:27,230
potentially the fiscal partner in this group. I don't know that we can make all the decisions

2107
02:28:27,230 --> 02:28:32,870
yet until we talk to CDPHG and say if we can get a push and extension on when it needs to be

2108
02:28:32,870 --> 02:28:37,790
application needs to be submitted. I haven't heard anybody say that that's not a possibility yet.

2109
02:28:40,610 --> 02:28:44,290
So I'm just putting that out there. That's what makes it consider.

2110
02:28:44,290 --> 02:28:51,770
Yeah, and if staff will send to it, one of the things that we can look into is can be an extension of the window deadline application supply.

2111
02:28:54,830 --> 02:28:57,450
So this is a council priority discussion.

2112
02:28:57,730 --> 02:29:04,370
Is this something that council feels like they would like to prioritize over the next couple of days,

2113
02:29:04,470 --> 02:29:07,650
or is this something that we can wait on?

2114
02:29:08,750 --> 02:29:14,370
It's up to really council at this point, but keep in mind, you know, our attorneys.

2115
02:29:14,370 --> 02:29:19,410
And what our attorney mentioned as well and then I want to make sure before we move forward

2116
02:29:19,410 --> 02:29:25,870
with anything that staff is aware of the direction of council and we can clarify anything as well.

2117
02:29:26,130 --> 02:29:26,570
That's needed.

2118
02:29:31,090 --> 02:29:35,510
So would other members of her from Councillor Samson have heard from Councillor Creslin with other members of the

2119
02:29:35,510 --> 02:29:38,190
Councillor to lay in on this Councillor.

2120
02:29:39,050 --> 02:29:45,550
So if it is possible to move forward with the legal review and staff review in the time before

2121
02:29:45,550 --> 02:29:51,970
the application is due. I would like to move forward. They were backed by an established non-profit organization.

2122
02:29:52,570 --> 02:29:59,110
They were previously backed by the county and sister Carmen was also willing to back them up until

2123
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:03,680
Meeting to redirect their resources to food assistance.

2124
02:30:07,250 --> 02:30:10,510
Thank you, Councillor Ayes. Other members of council?

2125
02:30:14,870 --> 02:30:16,910
I would like to see this investigated,

2126
02:30:17,550 --> 02:30:24,650
but I also understand that we can't do diligence in proper review before the submission.

2127
02:30:24,830 --> 02:30:33,650
I think one of the things we need to do is, but as Councillor Gayega said, this is a no long relationship with CTC.

2128
02:30:33,650 --> 02:30:44,610
So I think our length of relationship, the entities they've been working with, I really feel like we should request an extension if that's possible.

2129
02:30:44,910 --> 02:30:53,490
I don't know that we have it, but I would like to have the staff look into what the landscape looks like.

2130
02:30:56,470 --> 02:31:04,730
Councillor, if I may respectfully suggest that perhaps a request for an extension be directed

2131
02:31:04,730 --> 02:31:10,470
to communities that care, because, again, we don't have enough information even requests

2132
02:31:10,470 --> 02:31:11,510
and extensions this time.

2133
02:31:12,290 --> 02:31:18,730
So I just think it would be a, again, this is perhaps a issue for the city manager, but I

2134
02:31:18,730 --> 02:31:24,050
don't know that we have enough information to know how whether or when we would be to submit

2135
02:31:24,050 --> 02:31:29,910
that you're just working with a little information tonight, but maybe if maybe they could

2136
02:31:29,910 --> 02:31:32,610
give us head nods and let us know if that's something they come looking to.

2137
02:31:32,730 --> 02:31:37,730
I'm wondering if it'd be appropriate to allow the group to just come up and clarify some

2138
02:31:37,730 --> 02:31:38,390
of these things?

2139
02:31:38,410 --> 02:31:39,490
That's a council's discussion.

2140
02:31:40,430 --> 02:31:45,470
Okay, one of you mind coming up just so we have all the information we need so we don't

2141
02:31:45,470 --> 02:31:46,310
feel unprepared.

2142
02:31:46,490 --> 02:31:47,070
Is it a good one?

2143
02:31:47,310 --> 02:31:47,510
Sure.

2144
02:31:48,270 --> 02:31:51,270
So I didn't introduce myself earlier in Amy Colah,

2145
02:31:51,270 --> 02:31:54,170
I live at 13, I can't just do it.

2146
02:31:54,330 --> 02:31:57,250
So just to, I think, I can't sort of

2147
02:31:57,250 --> 02:32:00,730
pretty little mention, I am the director of

2148
02:32:00,730 --> 02:32:02,770
Rises of Opportunity, which is fiscal sponsor.

2149
02:32:02,890 --> 02:32:03,770
We do fiscal sponsors.

2150
02:32:03,930 --> 02:32:09,070
Actually, we've managed to grant through the city this year.

2151
02:32:11,390 --> 02:32:15,650
We're trying to figure out the best way to do this,

2152
02:32:15,650 --> 02:32:22,510
you know, and the reason why the language they use in the screen is backbone more than fiscal

2153
02:32:22,510 --> 02:32:29,390
sponsor, and as they started to look at that, we've been incorporated as a nonprofit less

2154
02:32:29,390 --> 02:32:35,110
than the time frame they've given. So this is a reimbursement based grant, I don't know if that

2155
02:32:35,110 --> 02:32:40,790
has any factor, you know, so the money is not a front where you have the money, you have to give it

2156
02:32:40,790 --> 02:32:46,710
to the stage or anything like that, it's based reimbursement based, but as we looked at it,

2157
02:32:46,710 --> 02:32:53,270
we thought we need a backup, we need an organization, more support but also just the fidelity

2158
02:32:53,270 --> 02:33:00,830
of that given the fact that we're a new fiscal sponsor organization. So I don't know if that

2159
02:33:00,830 --> 02:33:08,410
helps but that's one of the reasons why, and that's totally all the questions you have, so I don't

2160
02:33:08,410 --> 02:33:15,350
know the right answer, but I think our thought was, is how can we make this easier for the city

2161
02:33:15,350 --> 02:33:22,110
and some my role of having agreement as, I guess you put it the subcontractor, I've never used

2162
02:33:22,110 --> 02:33:29,970
those terms yet, but just having a contract with the city where risk of opportunity can take on,

2163
02:33:30,010 --> 02:33:38,310
usually what's the responsibility, you know, staffing to manage the grant that we would do that

2164
02:33:38,310 --> 02:33:44,810
work, but in a sense the city would be like a past through the street.

2165
02:33:45,990 --> 02:33:52,990
So I do think there's a lot of valid questions about the legality, what the cities taking

2166
02:33:52,990 --> 02:33:53,630
on in that.

2167
02:33:53,730 --> 02:33:54,410
So I appreciate that.

2168
02:33:54,570 --> 02:34:01,150
So I don't know if we fully know the answer, but we're available, I know it's very

2169
02:34:01,150 --> 02:34:06,290
time, but whatever the time we can do is to sit down and look at the documents and talk

2170
02:34:06,290 --> 02:34:11,850
through if that could be done, I don't know, everyone's

2171
02:34:11,850 --> 02:34:15,070
scheduled tomorrow with the city manager and the

2172
02:34:15,070 --> 02:34:19,570
turning and just go and then an answer be given, that

2173
02:34:19,570 --> 02:34:23,130
could be an option, you know, but I'm going to ask a

2174
02:34:23,130 --> 02:34:24,210
bunch of questions. Thank you.

2175
02:34:24,470 --> 02:34:26,270
You have a question. That's really important. Do you have

2176
02:34:26,270 --> 02:34:29,810
enough money to pay what you need to do and then get

2177
02:34:29,810 --> 02:34:33,610
cost reimbursed? Right. So the way that they actually

2178
02:34:33,610 --> 02:34:42,010
We can request was it 25% of the annual of the annual can be given first that's called an advanced pay

2179
02:34:42,010 --> 02:34:47,090
So you're asking for a 25% advance pay of the grant not from the city difference no

2180
02:34:47,090 --> 02:34:50,990
That's the way it works this weed has to ask it doesn't matter what you're saying right

2181
02:34:50,990 --> 02:34:59,870
You are the fiscal agent right so we'd have to ask we get the money and then you'd have to and then we could give that to you

2182
02:34:59,870 --> 02:35:01,410
right you take out the

2183
02:35:01,410 --> 02:35:11,790
indirect on that and then we actually that's not how it works. You actually take the indirect out on your direct cost. You have to charge it each time.

2184
02:35:12,650 --> 02:35:16,500
So are you expecting to pay people staffing?

2185
02:35:17,650 --> 02:35:21,250
Yes. Okay. Have you done time and effort before reports?

2186
02:35:22,850 --> 02:35:24,570
Not to that extent.

2187
02:35:24,570 --> 02:35:25,250
okay?

2188
02:35:27,610 --> 02:35:33,770
You're not planning to grant this out as well. So you're going to be the one that's going to

2189
02:35:33,770 --> 02:35:41,670
pay whatever goods and services that you're getting for this. Right. Okay. And the actual deadline

2190
02:35:41,670 --> 02:35:47,570
of the grant is, you know, a time sounds like it's Monday, it's some time. It might be at 5 p.m. 5 p.m.

2191
02:35:47,570 --> 02:35:50,570
Okay, yeah, it is, it's crazy.

2192
02:35:51,130 --> 02:35:53,290
Yeah, I mean, I appreciate the consideration.

2193
02:35:53,730 --> 02:35:54,690
Yeah, I think that's good.

2194
02:35:54,770 --> 02:35:56,870
It is a really tough situation to be in

2195
02:35:56,870 --> 02:35:59,670
and sorry to put y'all into this situation as well.

2196
02:36:00,450 --> 02:36:04,070
Yeah, ultimately we want to make this process

2197
02:36:04,070 --> 02:36:09,270
if considered by council as minimal burden to the city

2198
02:36:09,270 --> 02:36:11,250
because as part of the work,

2199
02:36:11,390 --> 02:36:12,790
I mean, I've been a part of the work since 2016,

2200
02:36:13,110 --> 02:36:13,930
since I was a youth member.

2201
02:36:13,930 --> 02:36:19,870
Now that I've been in this leadership role for the last two years, I've seen how the grant works.

2202
02:36:20,410 --> 02:36:22,950
I've truly dealt with with every piece of the grant.

2203
02:36:23,610 --> 02:36:31,050
So I feel very confident in my ability to execute these pieces in my role as a community mogulizer as the State of the State of the State.

2204
02:36:31,410 --> 02:36:33,690
And then we've had this coalition since 2016.

2205
02:36:34,110 --> 02:36:39,850
A lot of the members, including Andy and some of the members you see here tonight, have been a part of the coalition since 2016 as well.

2206
02:36:39,850 --> 02:36:52,510
So, we fully understand what is being asked of us from the state, so we're more than confident to be able to execute all this pieces with fidelity and, and yeah, to the top.

2207
02:36:52,990 --> 02:36:53,710
Yeah, good.

2208
02:36:53,810 --> 02:37:02,950
And so the elements of the grant that you're looking for our support with are, you've done previously with Boulder County as the backbone.

2209
02:37:03,670 --> 02:37:05,690
And so this is sort of an evolution, right?

2210
02:37:05,810 --> 02:37:07,210
Epic is the new name and all this.

2211
02:37:07,830 --> 02:37:10,550
And they're focusing on, are they focusing on different things

2212
02:37:10,550 --> 02:37:12,350
in this next five-year cycle or is it house,

2213
02:37:12,470 --> 02:37:14,750
it's very similar to what you've done before, or different.

2214
02:37:15,050 --> 02:37:16,870
They are doing something different this year,

2215
02:37:17,330 --> 02:37:18,750
or for the next five years, which is actually

2216
02:37:18,750 --> 02:37:20,530
the coolest part of the whole thing,

2217
02:37:20,870 --> 02:37:23,070
is they're actually wanting us to implement programming.

2218
02:37:24,150 --> 02:37:26,450
And for the last 10 years, our coalition has been

2219
02:37:26,450 --> 02:37:27,730
etching to do some programming.

2220
02:37:28,370 --> 02:37:30,430
Because oftentimes, you know, just the theoretical work

2221
02:37:30,430 --> 02:37:32,470
in the community, yes, it's good work.

2222
02:37:32,470 --> 02:37:37,210
But as committee members living and studying and working in Lafayette,

2223
02:37:37,790 --> 02:37:39,990
we know what the needs are and what we want to be able to get to it.

2224
02:37:40,250 --> 02:37:42,550
So that is the biggest difference that we'll be able to do now.

2225
02:37:42,830 --> 02:37:46,470
And our structure lays out a partnership between

2226
02:37:47,670 --> 02:37:49,090
as much as by the whole business.

2227
02:37:50,410 --> 02:37:52,170
And the family,

2228
02:37:53,370 --> 02:37:54,590
something's missing on it.

2229
02:37:56,630 --> 02:37:58,650
We have to follow certain guidelines.

2230
02:37:59,190 --> 02:38:00,650
So there's a strength and family in God.

2231
02:38:00,650 --> 02:38:03,970
have to be like blueprint guidelines that they offer.

2232
02:38:04,510 --> 02:38:05,610
So, especially as part of our opponents,

2233
02:38:05,770 --> 02:38:07,490
I think you might know, that's the city focus

2234
02:38:07,910 --> 02:38:09,950
that was funded as always been funded

2235
02:38:09,950 --> 02:38:11,490
and we've gotten that agreement since,

2236
02:38:11,790 --> 02:38:15,390
but through the city three years of running this program.

2237
02:38:15,890 --> 02:38:18,990
So what we want to do is take that evidence-based program

2238
02:38:18,990 --> 02:38:21,870
and actually beef it up and sort of greater

2239
02:38:21,870 --> 02:38:26,370
short the city, the families and youth that are in that program.

2240
02:38:26,670 --> 02:38:29,030
And the program is called Strengthening Families Program.

2241
02:38:29,030 --> 02:38:36,650
And this is a vetted program by the state that we've selected as best fit with our coalition submission and values.

2242
02:38:38,290 --> 02:38:41,110
There's a geographic component too as well, right?

2243
02:38:41,170 --> 02:38:43,430
The state is considering things based on counties.

2244
02:38:44,310 --> 02:38:49,110
Have we been identified as a region that would be favored, prioritized?

2245
02:38:49,410 --> 02:38:55,350
So Boulder County wasn't identified, but it is likely that there's going to be an award given in this geographic area.

2246
02:38:55,350 --> 02:39:00,690
But it's just not a high-rody area as they've noted for other regions.

2247
02:39:00,950 --> 02:39:04,670
And do we know of any other applications that are going in in our geographic area that might

2248
02:39:04,670 --> 02:39:05,970
be competitive for us?

2249
02:39:05,970 --> 02:39:06,250
Yes.

2250
02:39:06,710 --> 02:39:08,810
Boulder County Public Health will be applying as well.

2251
02:39:10,910 --> 02:39:19,350
So again, I mean, there's no guarantee that we would get it, but we do believe that

2252
02:39:19,350 --> 02:39:24,830
with the decade almost, of the work that we've done, we have a really good shot at this.

2253
02:39:24,830 --> 02:39:27,570
All we need is the support of a backbone,

2254
02:39:29,630 --> 02:39:33,470
and yeah, the reality is that we have such a strong team.

2255
02:39:34,310 --> 02:39:39,110
Everybody that you see here tonight and people you don't see here tonight that are part of this coalition.

2256
02:39:39,590 --> 02:39:47,910
They all live work or go to school and off yet. These are all youth, adult members that they care about this work. That's why they're a part of it.

2257
02:39:48,110 --> 02:39:50,990
And that's what we've been able to run strong for the last 10 years.

2258
02:39:52,010 --> 02:39:57,210
You know, one other idea, I want to just mention that I think we would need to research this

2259
02:39:57,210 --> 02:40:02,410
the possibility with even though the grants of five year and I felt like that's a big

2260
02:40:02,410 --> 02:40:09,170
commitment on the city and to put back to actually in our agreement, our agreement to have it a year

2261
02:40:09,170 --> 02:40:16,090
to year, year, year, year, year, year. And I believe based on other grants that I've even managed

2262
02:40:16,090 --> 02:40:21,230
through the state that fiscal sponsors can change.

2263
02:40:22,810 --> 02:40:25,870
Yes, I actually had a change with with,

2264
02:40:26,230 --> 02:40:29,410
it was the disability fund with the state.

2265
02:40:29,770 --> 02:40:32,190
We were the fiscal sponsor for a grant in a partner

2266
02:40:32,190 --> 02:40:35,650
that our relationship mutually decided not to end.

2267
02:40:36,030 --> 02:40:38,170
And the state said yes, common practice

2268
02:40:38,630 --> 02:40:39,950
to change fiscal sponsors.

2269
02:40:40,190 --> 02:40:42,770
So that was someone who offered the grant,

2270
02:40:42,790 --> 02:40:45,230
the grantee from the state to tell me that.

2271
02:40:45,230 --> 02:40:52,890
So, in a sense, we changed the fiscal sponsor recently for the City of Focus Grant, someone else,

2272
02:40:53,110 --> 02:40:58,050
and we changed working with Katie on that risk of opportunity.

2273
02:40:58,650 --> 02:41:05,250
So, again, we would have to research that, but my thought would be, if that, if the city

2274
02:41:05,250 --> 02:41:11,590
did feel comfortable, if the state allows that, that we could kind of research a different

2275
02:41:11,590 --> 02:41:16,090
back on if that if we came to that that was kind of my thought and some of the agreement

2276
02:41:16,090 --> 02:41:17,130
down there.

2277
02:41:17,230 --> 02:41:25,210
We again have the research and to the indirect pieces if the direct cost does get applied

2278
02:41:25,210 --> 02:41:30,670
for the entire the entirety of the grant it would be around $300,000 coming to the city for

2279
02:41:30,670 --> 02:41:35,630
that administrative fee over the course of those five years.

2280
02:41:35,630 --> 02:41:37,530
Thank you.

2281
02:41:37,530 --> 02:41:38,010
Yes, sir.

2282
02:41:38,370 --> 02:41:44,910
Mayor May, I asked the folks question, and maybe Councillor Sampson knows more about this.

2283
02:41:45,270 --> 02:41:48,270
For sure, and there's more about this than I do, so I'm going to reveal what I don't know

2284
02:41:48,270 --> 02:41:48,450
here.

2285
02:41:49,030 --> 02:41:51,430
But is there a reason why you all can't.

2286
02:41:51,570 --> 02:42:00,250
Why CTC and Bridges of Opportunity cannot apply for this grant without having the

2287
02:42:00,250 --> 02:42:01,310
is a core applicant?

2288
02:42:02,450 --> 02:42:09,190
We could, I think, the point system that they give, because I looked at the question they

2289
02:42:09,190 --> 02:42:12,070
asked for the backbone.

2290
02:42:12,490 --> 02:42:19,510
We was score very low because of our experience and the finances we have on hand.

2291
02:42:20,190 --> 02:42:30,230
Even though they give an advance, we have in the bank like $70,000, so it's kind of that fiscal

2292
02:42:30,230 --> 02:42:35,470
backing that they want to be sure of that we would score really well on that.

2293
02:42:35,890 --> 02:42:41,730
So, and our thinking was also as we looked at sister Carmen and there's the backbone of being

2294
02:42:42,610 --> 02:42:51,280
trying not to create a staff at the support of saying, okay we're we're gaining just the

2295
02:42:52,600 --> 02:42:59,920
the credibility, you know, of saying okay we have this backing of a backbone with the work that we do

2296
02:42:59,920 --> 02:43:05,240
And my thinking is that we would without great work,

2297
02:43:05,360 --> 02:43:08,820
but just kind of think through the what the city is wanting to do.

2298
02:43:09,040 --> 02:43:12,920
And so more closely connected than in another organization

2299
02:43:12,920 --> 02:43:16,980
that you're kind of hoping they would align with city council.

2300
02:43:17,460 --> 02:43:20,880
So that was kind of what our thinking took.

2301
02:43:21,920 --> 02:43:23,240
But yeah, it's a good question.

2302
02:43:24,060 --> 02:43:25,360
And that's actually, it's a great question,

2303
02:43:25,460 --> 02:43:26,560
because that's one of the key components

2304
02:43:26,560 --> 02:43:28,520
to what we're asking of city council.

2305
02:43:28,520 --> 02:43:33,760
It is to be able to complete that financial risk assessment that CDPHG does require for this application.

2306
02:43:35,060 --> 02:43:41,580
And again, as Andy mentioned, that was a reason for us as a group, realizing we was

2307
02:43:41,580 --> 02:43:43,100
for a pretty low on that assessment.

2308
02:43:46,560 --> 02:43:53,720
So, unfortunately, we were really banking on public health originally as our current fiscal sponsor,

2309
02:43:53,720 --> 02:44:01,720
Public Health just unfortunately just told us that that drop us as a program due to their own funding insecurities

2310
02:44:03,200 --> 02:44:08,480
Later for us to find out that they're also applying for the same traffic. So yeah

2311
02:44:09,980 --> 02:44:15,780
Again, we we really hate putting you in the position, but we wouldn't be here if it wasn't but we didn't truly believe in this work

2312
02:44:15,780 --> 02:44:19,980
I know that we can make this happen. Thank you and we and I totally understand

2313
02:44:21,160 --> 02:44:27,100
What you all have to decide so I don't want you to feel pressured. I mean, I kind of believe in this program

2314
02:44:27,100 --> 02:44:31,920
If we can't get this grant even if we even if we had your backbone, then you're in two. We'll get the grant

2315
02:44:32,380 --> 02:44:37,860
We're gonna continue to look for other funding and other grants to continue to work

2316
02:44:39,040 --> 02:44:40,240
Okay, um other

2317
02:44:40,240 --> 02:44:41,180
comments

2318
02:44:41,180 --> 02:44:46,560
At least for for these guys here. Okay. I thank you. Thank you. Oh, thank you

2319
02:44:49,220 --> 02:44:55,580
All right, so I do think we would like to come to some sort of consensus on where to move forward from here.

2320
02:44:55,900 --> 02:44:59,960
Obviously, you know, this is an easy decision. Lots of considerations too.

2321
02:45:04,500 --> 02:45:31,900
We have to identify more about this grant, especially if it has federal funds. Based on the questions I've got, you know, that we're answered tonight. I'm going to just tell you, if you don't have somebody, if you don't have me, do it. Who has the knowledge of doing the federal funds that can get really, you can do it.

2322
02:45:31,900 --> 02:45:36,820
You can get in a lot of trouble, not just, hey, you screwed up, so be it.

2323
02:45:37,300 --> 02:45:45,280
So that's what I'm trying to figure out in here is where are the issues that we need to be aware of.

2324
02:45:47,620 --> 02:45:53,680
Well, we could, you know, potentially if we choose to move forward with this, we could.

2325
02:45:54,200 --> 02:46:00,640
It's tight, I mean, obviously you don't want to like direct staff, hey, drop everything focus on this now, right?

2326
02:46:00,640 --> 02:46:02,580
that's something we have to consider as well,

2327
02:46:02,720 --> 02:46:05,580
but if we do with the timeline, right?

2328
02:46:05,580 --> 02:46:09,000
If we do direct stuff to prioritizes, you know,

2329
02:46:09,180 --> 02:46:12,340
a number of council can also serve as a part of that

2330
02:46:12,340 --> 02:46:14,420
those discussions, but that's, you know,

2331
02:46:14,480 --> 02:46:18,820
you a bunch of, as well, and so just to be a part of that,

2332
02:46:18,820 --> 02:46:20,180
just to make sure we have all,

2333
02:46:20,180 --> 02:46:25,200
everyone in place, that's needed to make sure we have,

2334
02:46:25,320 --> 02:46:26,600
we understand all the requirements,

2335
02:46:26,940 --> 02:46:28,700
but that's a federal or state level.

2336
02:46:31,400 --> 02:46:37,700
But we do need to, we still need to, we still need consensus to give direction at the end of the day the council is the decision making body.

2337
02:46:38,080 --> 02:46:44,760
And as we can give direction in whether two priorities or to not prioritize this, but we do need a consensus ultimately.

2338
02:46:45,760 --> 02:46:49,400
So I'm, like I said, I've heard from a couple of councillors. I haven't heard from everybody.

2339
02:46:51,440 --> 02:46:52,960
on where are they at?

2340
02:46:56,060 --> 02:46:59,880
Mayor, five minute, give Council some advice.

2341
02:47:00,360 --> 02:47:06,720
I do think it's necessary that Council, if it does wish, to make a decision that you do

2342
02:47:06,720 --> 02:47:10,700
need to take formal action, and this isn't on our agenda, to take formal action, but if

2343
02:47:10,700 --> 02:47:15,880
I do think you need to take formal action to decide whether this is a partnership and great application

2344
02:47:15,880 --> 02:47:18,800
you want to proceed with, which again in the past we've done by resolution.

2345
02:47:18,800 --> 02:47:31,240
And we, you might need to call special meeting and we would need time again for Council to understand what the city is applying for and what would happen if it's awarded.

2346
02:47:31,920 --> 02:47:35,220
Council give direction to the clerk further with the group.

2347
02:47:35,640 --> 02:47:48,160
Understand all their requirements and then I think staff would communicate back to us on those updates and where we are to determine if that's even needed that step of meeting and having resolution.

2348
02:47:48,160 --> 02:47:49,240
in past,

2349
02:47:53,920 --> 02:47:58,160
like, when we do a resolution, right, we're not, that's sort of like almost like

2350
02:47:58,160 --> 02:48:04,200
it is a commitment, but is that a, is that like, necessary, necessary prior to the application

2351
02:48:04,200 --> 02:48:05,200
submission?

2352
02:48:06,720 --> 02:48:12,460
Say that again, but is a resolution necessary and is it necessary prior to the application

2353
02:48:12,460 --> 02:48:13,240
submission?

2354
02:48:14,060 --> 02:48:18,520
Once you submit an application, you're committing the city to follow through the grant

2355
02:48:18,520 --> 02:48:19,100
as awarded.

2356
02:48:19,100 --> 02:48:28,000
And again, I'm in a position just as you're a attorney that I don't know what those, what you're going to be required to follow through on.

2357
02:48:28,500 --> 02:48:42,020
So I'm going to come over with it, but the resolution would express that we understand we're applying and that we are willing to accept the responsibilities and obligations that may be placed on the city if the grant is awarded.

2358
02:48:42,020 --> 02:48:50,400
But if in any event I do think a decision by an informed decision by council would be needed

2359
02:48:50,400 --> 02:48:53,000
in a public meeting, I deal with notice to the public.

2360
02:48:54,100 --> 02:49:00,360
I am a little bit concerned about this coming to council tonight for a very major commitment

2361
02:49:02,560 --> 02:49:07,760
with no public notice on whether you want to proceed with a major grant application.

2362
02:49:07,760 --> 02:49:13,460
And that's not to say that you can't reach consensus on items during a meeting without an item on the agenda.

2363
02:49:14,220 --> 02:49:20,180
But this would require us to make a legal commitment that we are going to follow through with the grant as awarded.

2364
02:49:20,680 --> 02:49:23,980
And that's where we use a resolution to document that in the past.

2365
02:49:24,280 --> 02:49:25,260
It could have been, it could be a motion.

2366
02:49:25,420 --> 02:49:26,180
It could be something else.

2367
02:49:29,460 --> 02:49:35,780
But yeah, that's, I do believe formal action on something of this scope and this commitment is this.

2368
02:49:35,780 --> 02:49:40,840
Sorry to interrupt as much as we're meeting needs to be noticed 24 hours in advance, right?

2369
02:49:41,880 --> 02:49:43,020
And so...

2370
02:49:46,060 --> 02:49:46,940
Don't do it on Halloween.

2371
02:49:47,340 --> 02:49:50,880
The timing seems untenable.

2372
02:49:51,820 --> 02:49:57,020
I mean, without us jumping through a lot of hoop scheduling-wise, and staff, and that's even

2373
02:49:57,020 --> 02:50:03,160
just assuming that we get the application, you know, first thing tomorrow, staff reviews

2374
02:50:03,160 --> 02:50:08,260
it over the day, and then says, yeah, we could probably do it, and then we publicly

2375
02:50:08,260 --> 02:50:17,520
notice on Thursday and have a meeting on Friday and Halloween on Halloween.

2376
02:50:17,540 --> 02:50:21,730
I'd rather do Saturday. We'll be trigger treatment.

2377
02:50:23,370 --> 02:50:28,170
So just to provide my thinking as we're going through this, I mean, you know,

2378
02:50:30,840 --> 02:50:32,440
this is a great community

2379
02:50:32,440 --> 02:50:37,840
asset we have that will continue and this is a great way to amplify them. It's really unfortunate

2380
02:50:37,840 --> 02:50:54,280
And that our partners at the county dropped this thing that would have really helped us as a community without any notice or hand off or partnership,

2381
02:51:00,010 --> 02:51:04,950
you know, the timing is hard, right?

2382
02:51:07,470 --> 02:51:16,630
So I don't know, I want us to be able to, especially in times like we're in right now, I want us to be able to fill the gaps, right?

2383
02:51:16,910 --> 02:51:18,110
I know we don't fill it away.

2384
02:51:19,670 --> 02:51:24,190
But I think we need, we need enough time to work together to do this in the right way.

2385
02:51:24,230 --> 02:51:29,770
Because I think we're also talking about some level of substance abuse work, right, through the grant,

2386
02:51:34,370 --> 02:51:34,930
and you know,

2387
02:51:34,930 --> 02:51:41,570
back bone at the end of the day we would take that responsibility really seriously as I know

2388
02:51:41,570 --> 02:51:48,490
the you know applicants would do. So I did that stuff. I did a fall question would you mind

2389
02:51:48,490 --> 02:51:54,230
coming up again and just one one for one final time just to clarify and then I think battle

2390
02:51:56,030 --> 02:52:02,750
it'll give us easier direction for tonight. So if this you this deadline right in this Monday

2391
02:52:02,750 --> 02:52:07,730
5 p.m. deadline that you need for this particular grant. If we're not able to come in,

2392
02:52:07,850 --> 02:52:13,930
because of the tight turnerance for you on that, in the future, we'll do other grant

2393
02:52:13,930 --> 02:52:18,670
opportunities where we could reconsider this would give in more time and preparation.

2394
02:52:20,170 --> 02:52:24,950
In the next, I mean, it doesn't have to be a year from now or less than a year.

2395
02:52:24,950 --> 02:52:28,750
Yeah, absolutely, that's definitely a possibility.

2396
02:52:29,790 --> 02:52:33,770
And you know, also, I've just seen a counselor of Barnes, I mean, we could act.

2397
02:52:33,930 --> 02:52:42,410
We could, with that be a good option that we just asked to Marath, CBPG, if there's a given

2398
02:52:42,410 --> 02:52:47,270
or circumstance, we can extend the deadline and give, and we could even state a date based

2399
02:52:47,270 --> 02:52:47,770
on the way.

2400
02:52:47,950 --> 02:52:52,990
You also said, if you all wanted to do that, we actually have what they call a state coach,

2401
02:52:52,990 --> 02:52:54,090
which I meet with regularly.

2402
02:52:54,570 --> 02:52:57,050
This is the person who oversees our specific grant

2403
02:52:57,050 --> 02:52:59,090
allocator to our geographic area.

2404
02:52:59,830 --> 02:53:01,190
As soon as I get home tonight, that's going to be

2405
02:53:01,190 --> 02:53:03,630
the first thing I do is send them an email and say,

2406
02:53:04,610 --> 02:53:05,650
hey, we might need an extension.

2407
02:53:05,970 --> 02:53:07,330
So if that's the case, is that something that

2408
02:53:07,330 --> 02:53:08,890
might need an extension anyway?

2409
02:53:09,790 --> 02:53:12,630
You know, didn't make us where we're kind of

2410
02:53:12,630 --> 02:53:14,810
in a situation ourselves.

2411
02:53:15,210 --> 02:53:18,810
So that's something that we could address with y'all

2412
02:53:18,810 --> 02:53:21,110
if we did get an extension from the state.

2413
02:53:22,190 --> 02:53:24,650
Do you need to have discussions on that?

2414
02:53:24,890 --> 02:53:27,890
I mean, I think I'm not your business consultant.

2415
02:53:28,450 --> 02:53:31,130
I mean, it's something that you should consider regardless.

2416
02:53:31,790 --> 02:53:35,210
It's looking to give yourself some more opportunity to find something stable.

2417
02:53:35,890 --> 02:53:35,910
Yeah.

2418
02:53:36,050 --> 02:53:36,450
And consistent.

2419
02:53:36,770 --> 02:53:42,530
Because as you've heard, it is a tight situation for us,

2420
02:53:42,530 --> 02:53:45,970
and it's not something that we're outright saying we're opposed to our against,

2421
02:53:46,170 --> 02:53:48,590
but just based off the circumstances at the time,

2422
02:53:48,590 --> 02:53:54,330
doesn't seem like we we even have it's you know possible for us for some

2423
02:53:54,330 --> 02:53:59,290
night is but that doesn't mean that you know given more time given

2424
02:53:59,290 --> 02:54:05,170
more leeway given more preparation it's that this city would be opposed to

2425
02:54:05,170 --> 02:54:12,210
down the road. Can I? Can I? Can I? This is a little bit let's say we realize

2426
02:54:12,210 --> 02:54:16,130
okay we're just going to put reasonable opportunity and we know we score low.

2427
02:54:16,130 --> 02:54:20,190
One of the things they ask for or letters of recommendation from the city.

2428
02:54:20,430 --> 02:54:22,710
So, sister Carmen, even though they can't be her backbone,

2429
02:54:23,210 --> 02:54:31,310
this isn't across a gladly right, but could we have city counsel write a statement

2430
02:54:31,310 --> 02:54:35,730
that we can put in our application of just the support that you have for it?

2431
02:54:35,770 --> 02:54:43,410
It's not your becoming a backbone, but you fully support this work and maybe you can speak personally about it,

2432
02:54:43,410 --> 02:54:49,370
and makes it what we have, I mean, that would go a long way too in that situation, because

2433
02:54:49,370 --> 02:54:58,170
I kind of realized this timing and just seeing, that's not what we came hell Mary, you

2434
02:54:58,170 --> 02:55:05,570
know, past is not, is not going to work, so I think that would be very beneficial to us in the

2435
02:55:05,570 --> 02:55:05,870
process.

2436
02:55:07,430 --> 02:55:12,510
Is that, I think it's a question for staff on time, because a letter of support would still

2437
02:55:12,510 --> 02:55:15,310
need to be bond Monday, unless we get an X.

2438
02:55:15,510 --> 02:55:17,030
Well, right. That's what I was saying.

2439
02:55:17,810 --> 02:55:23,290
I mean, I don't know if that's a question for staff on whether or not they could do

2440
02:55:23,290 --> 02:55:25,590
a letter of support by that time frame.

2441
02:55:25,930 --> 02:55:28,450
I mean, there's some standard ones that I have for housing.

2442
02:55:30,390 --> 02:55:32,790
But yeah, at your direction, we would make that a priority.

2443
02:55:34,910 --> 02:55:39,650
I think provided we get the grant application as soon as possible.

2444
02:55:40,130 --> 02:55:44,310
So they can see it and so council can see it and make sure that we

2445
02:55:44,310 --> 02:55:51,090
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good point because even to recommend it even if you're not a back fund to really understand

2446
02:55:51,090 --> 02:55:53,230
Yeah, we have to do that

2447
02:55:53,230 --> 02:56:00,930
Okay, so it sounds like as of now. I mean, I think you all should should consider that extent and of the extension of that deadline

2448
02:56:00,930 --> 02:56:06,950
Thank you, should you know keep us in the loop on you know progress made with that and then

2449
02:56:06,950 --> 02:56:13,890
And sounds like this council is supportive of at least a letter of recommendation that supports

2450
02:56:13,890 --> 02:56:17,570
your initiative and supports the funding and support for your initiative.

2451
02:56:18,490 --> 02:56:25,070
But outside of that, at this point, you know, it's something that you could come back to us

2452
02:56:25,070 --> 02:56:28,150
at a later date with more, like I said more of a runway.

2453
02:56:28,770 --> 02:56:30,150
So we can prepare for that.

2454
02:56:30,450 --> 02:56:30,650
Thank you.

2455
02:56:30,990 --> 02:56:32,210
Thank you.

2456
02:56:32,210 --> 02:56:33,750
Thank you all so much for your time tonight.

2457
02:56:33,810 --> 02:56:35,610
Seriously, it's been a pleasure to be here.

2458
02:56:35,610 --> 02:56:38,570
And we still have work going on so soon, 2026.

2459
02:56:38,770 --> 02:56:40,450
Some of the coalition is still in Lafayette.

2460
02:56:40,810 --> 02:56:41,650
It's not a fact.

2461
02:56:41,750 --> 02:56:43,870
I've been reaching out to all of you.

2462
02:56:44,670 --> 02:56:46,770
You've never once been able to chat about some initiatives.

2463
02:56:47,210 --> 02:56:49,790
I'll keep it posted on that, but thank you so much for your time tonight.

2464
02:56:50,170 --> 02:56:50,630
Thank you.

2465
02:56:51,210 --> 02:56:51,590
Thank you.

2466
02:56:55,910 --> 02:56:56,190
Okay.

2467
02:56:56,630 --> 02:56:58,390
Back to our regularly scheduled program.

2468
02:56:58,990 --> 02:56:59,590
Did you have a meeting?

2469
02:56:59,690 --> 02:57:01,070
Me talking about boards and commissions.

2470
02:57:02,090 --> 02:57:02,590
Go ahead.

2471
02:57:04,010 --> 02:57:04,210
No.

2472
02:57:04,310 --> 02:57:04,930
I just wanted to...

2473
02:57:04,930 --> 02:57:09,430
And maybe Councillor Barnes is going to mention this too, but we had a really successful

2474
02:57:09,430 --> 02:57:17,210
two sessions of talking to the chairs of our boards and commission commissions.

2475
02:57:20,030 --> 02:57:24,170
And yeah, there's more to come on that and all that, but I just wanted to say thank you to

2476
02:57:24,170 --> 02:57:28,690
staff for making that happen. It was a really good couple of sessions. I'm just really appreciated

2477
02:57:28,690 --> 02:57:33,530
and I'm excited for those conversations to keep going and the things that came out of that

2478
02:57:33,530 --> 02:57:37,610
in terms of next steps and all that, so I just want to say thanks, really appreciate that

2479
02:57:37,610 --> 02:57:38,070
that hard work.

2480
02:57:38,410 --> 02:57:39,690
Thank you.

2481
02:57:39,930 --> 02:57:40,650
Thank you.

2482
02:57:40,970 --> 02:57:42,010
All right, Mayor Prochum.

2483
02:57:42,790 --> 02:57:45,270
Just a quick update regarding the minimum wage.

2484
02:57:46,250 --> 02:57:48,090
I know this is part of the Consortium of Cities.

2485
02:57:49,410 --> 02:57:58,750
So, Boulder County commissioners have moved to amend their minimum wage change to a one-time

2486
02:57:58,750 --> 02:58:05,070
increase to match the city of Boulders, so that would make their minimal wage a January 1,

2487
02:58:05,270 --> 02:58:13,730
26, 16, 2, and then it would be matched to the CPI thereafter, and not going as far as

2488
02:58:13,730 --> 02:58:22,770
the increases to 2030. So that is now going, that was a two-to-one decision to direct their

2489
02:58:22,770 --> 02:58:24,610
staff to go ahead and make that change.

2490
02:58:25,450 --> 02:58:29,830
Similarly, long amount city council is things

2491
02:58:29,830 --> 02:58:31,290
that there would be a conversation at more

2492
02:58:31,290 --> 02:58:33,950
original level, and so they're not looking to make any moves

2493
02:58:33,950 --> 02:58:38,250
in this year for 26, but they be interested

2494
02:58:38,250 --> 02:58:40,550
depending on what the county does move forward

2495
02:58:40,550 --> 02:58:42,710
with to have further conversations.

2496
02:58:43,190 --> 02:58:46,570
So I just wanted to bring that up to the city council.

2497
02:58:46,970 --> 02:58:50,150
In addition, I've also sent out the last October

2498
02:58:50,150 --> 02:58:57,490
board of directors information from Dr. Koch. We've completed our in-person meetings, but we'll

2499
02:58:57,490 --> 02:59:04,510
have November remote meetings, so that's going on there. And I think that's it for tonight.

2500
02:59:04,910 --> 02:59:05,310
Thank you, Mayor.

2501
02:59:05,790 --> 02:59:06,170
Thank you.

2502
02:59:06,510 --> 02:59:15,350
Oh, when I think, sorry, and this is Northwest North West 36 community solutions. I am sending

2503
02:59:15,350 --> 02:59:21,510
out a sponsorship form for the ability to either sponsor a number of

2504
02:59:21,510 --> 02:59:27,010
commuting solutions events, or I know a former counselor, Walton had asked if we were

2505
02:59:27,010 --> 02:59:30,670
interested in sponsoring a table, which is around a thousand dollars at the

2506
02:59:30,670 --> 02:59:34,070
legislative update in January, but there's also the opportunity to be

2507
02:59:34,070 --> 02:59:39,250
in platinum sponsor for four thousand dollars. I've sent that out to all of you

2508
02:59:39,250 --> 02:59:43,590
and I'll look for bringing back at the next meeting to see what people's

2509
02:59:44,990 --> 02:59:46,690
So that would be coming out as well.

2510
02:59:47,050 --> 02:59:48,550
Yes, so that email has already been issued.

2511
02:59:49,010 --> 02:59:53,110
So please respond to that if you have not to see what kind of commitment

2512
02:59:53,110 --> 02:59:56,150
if any we want to make to that.

2513
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:03,620
And then, do you mind just resending it? So I think that's up waiting for you right now. Thank you.

2514
03:00:03,840 --> 03:00:09,340
Load it up. Okay. Councillor Gallegos. Nothing from me tonight. Councillor Barnes.

2515
03:00:10,880 --> 03:00:14,760
Just like that moment of silence for the people to make it. And the rest of the Caribbean.

2516
03:00:29,350 --> 03:00:38,550
Thank you all. One of the most powerful hurricanes in the history. Just a cloud across. There's climate cross. The Caribbean.

2517
03:00:38,550 --> 03:00:48,870
coming in the coast of Jamaica with 175550 to 175 mile on our winds for 3 hours, 50 miles

2518
03:00:48,870 --> 03:00:55,030
wide. So I'm not sure what the impact of that is going to be, but it is a humanitarian

2519
03:00:55,030 --> 03:01:02,450
crisis already. So thank you for noticing that happen and having some time for that.

2520
03:01:03,770 --> 03:01:16,610
It's an odd transition, but I'm wearing a shirt about super science Saturday, so I work with people who believe in science.

2521
03:01:17,450 --> 03:01:21,430
It's done for their lives and they're continuing to provide this for us.

2522
03:01:22,210 --> 03:01:30,090
One of the groups that hopefully will make an impact on maybe better warnings, but this is a free open-house event.

2523
03:01:30,090 --> 03:01:34,170
started 10 a.m. goes to 4 p.m. and it's at the

2524
03:01:34,170 --> 03:01:37,010
encarming. It's a library, right up table, it's just

2525
03:01:37,010 --> 03:01:40,290
get on table and it's our self-border. I'll just keep going until it ends.

2526
03:01:40,450 --> 03:01:43,250
You'll be in the parking lot. And there'll be lots of

2527
03:01:43,250 --> 03:01:49,770
activities for the whole family, food, fun, and I'll be there.

2528
03:01:50,210 --> 03:01:52,510
So, come ask me a question. It's about up here.

2529
03:01:56,510 --> 03:02:07,390
And we did talk about our proclamation tonight, recognizing people who go the extra mile, our boards and commissions are going the extra mile.

2530
03:02:07,870 --> 03:02:11,530
And as Councillor Freeland said, it was an amazing meeting.

2531
03:02:12,290 --> 03:02:19,810
I think it was beneficial for not just David and I, but also for the chairs of the boards.

2532
03:02:19,810 --> 03:02:28,790
And I hope our deputy director also really happy to be there because I know is an awful lot of work, so thank you so much for making that happen.

2533
03:02:29,030 --> 03:02:41,250
And I think what we're dealing with the boards and commissions organizing it will daylight a lot of what the process is more of our residents will be interested in joining the boards of commissions.

2534
03:02:42,810 --> 03:02:49,770
are looking to provide more input for those boards of commission so they can help us with what we need and I think a little bit of that bubble up tonight.

2535
03:02:52,950 --> 03:02:57,350
So that's, I think that's something I'll hit the end of it but I think that's all I have right now.

2536
03:02:57,530 --> 03:02:58,030
Thank you, Mayor.

2537
03:02:58,150 --> 03:02:59,610
Of course, thank you.

2538
03:03:00,270 --> 03:03:01,870
And for me, just a few items.

2539
03:03:01,870 --> 03:03:11,490
So, as you all know, there is a, as required by our charter, the City Council has to appoint

2540
03:03:11,490 --> 03:03:16,690
three members of the Council to conduct planning commission interviews in a point.

2541
03:03:18,570 --> 03:03:23,910
This year we have a believe two vacancies, so a point two new members to the planning commission.

2542
03:03:24,630 --> 03:03:31,190
And so I did speak reach out to you all independently and I did hear back from counselors

2543
03:03:35,010 --> 03:03:45,210
that they are interested in conducting these interviews and then to come back to the full council at a later date to make to make their recommendation.

2544
03:03:46,450 --> 03:03:56,390
So I just want to make sure that we're okay with those three councillors representing the council for these interviews and wanted to make sure that there wasn't anyone else that was really eager to be involved.

2545
03:03:56,390 --> 03:03:57,190
All

2546
03:04:00,100 --> 03:04:00,240
right.

2547
03:04:00,340 --> 03:04:01,420
So to confirm Councillor.

2548
03:04:02,100 --> 03:04:02,260
Happy to have you.

2549
03:04:02,400 --> 03:04:02,460
Thank you.

2550
03:04:03,720 --> 03:04:04,820
Freedom and Councillor Gallagher.

2551
03:04:05,120 --> 03:04:07,020
Those will be conducting those planning commission.

2552
03:04:08,780 --> 03:04:08,980
Okay.

2553
03:04:09,740 --> 03:04:10,720
All right.

2554
03:04:11,600 --> 03:04:12,460
On to the next item.

2555
03:04:13,440 --> 03:04:19,340
So we, as you've heard and seen, you know, folks have come to us on various occasions, requesting

2556
03:04:19,340 --> 03:04:20,000
funding.

2557
03:04:20,320 --> 03:04:23,120
We had multiple discussions regarding our contingency fund.

2558
03:04:23,660 --> 03:04:24,560
And we did allocate.

2559
03:04:24,840 --> 03:04:26,300
Originally, it was set 50,000.

2560
03:04:26,420 --> 03:04:27,000
We did allocate.

2561
03:04:27,000 --> 03:04:31,540
I could chunk of that towards travel budget for conferences and things like that.

2562
03:04:31,860 --> 03:04:38,960
However, we do still have a remaining, I believe, 2021,000 left for the year.

2563
03:04:39,200 --> 03:04:46,760
And so we've had a few groups that reach out to us to see if, you know, we're interested

2564
03:04:46,760 --> 03:04:53,180
in supporting events like, as you mentioned, former Councilor Walton with the table

2565
03:04:53,180 --> 03:05:01,380
requests, and we did also receive a request for funding to support St. Tars' palms,

2566
03:05:01,500 --> 03:05:08,860
a team further, events, a computer competition in Florida this year, which is something

2567
03:05:08,860 --> 03:05:16,220
we have supported in the past, and we have also, just like we're a class ongoing. So I think

2568
03:05:16,220 --> 03:05:21,880
the process that we established was, there were certain programs or things like St. Tars and

2569
03:05:21,880 --> 03:05:24,640
on certificates after prom that we would be supporting.

2570
03:05:24,920 --> 03:05:26,340
So those have already been here, Mark.

2571
03:05:26,840 --> 03:05:30,540
However, the rest of it, I think the process that we establish

2572
03:05:30,540 --> 03:05:34,080
is that we bring it up first here as a council member.

2573
03:05:34,840 --> 03:05:37,700
And we give folks time to think about their request.

2574
03:05:38,040 --> 03:05:40,960
And then at our next meeting, we make a decision on if we

2575
03:05:40,960 --> 03:05:43,980
want to allocate those funds to that program

2576
03:05:43,980 --> 03:05:45,880
or to that event that we're sponsoring.

2577
03:05:46,540 --> 03:05:49,820
So I believe that's the process we have established.

2578
03:05:49,820 --> 03:05:58,480
Correct. Yes. I don't remember that. I remember talking about some criteria for which we

2579
03:05:58,480 --> 03:06:07,320
devalue way, such as we need emergency was wrong. How many love yet residents with the

2580
03:06:07,320 --> 03:06:12,080
impact for love yet residents? Maybe not how many. What is the impact overall? Are we serving

2581
03:06:12,080 --> 03:06:19,800
five people? Are we serving a greater group? Like is it open to all? Right. And is it fair?

2582
03:06:19,800 --> 03:06:24,780
I remember we said we were going to establish that, I think we were supposed to create a form

2583
03:06:24,780 --> 03:06:30,140
or an application in a way, and then for the public to take it out to identify that.

2584
03:06:30,260 --> 03:06:35,180
If that character is being met prior to a suggestion yet, but I don't know if that ever took place.

2585
03:06:35,420 --> 03:06:44,120
I think what we had decided is that and maybe city staff can wait in here is we had decided that it would be,

2586
03:06:44,460 --> 03:06:47,400
we would give council a heads up so that you are aware.

2587
03:06:47,400 --> 03:06:48,700
And that would be fine.

2588
03:06:49,600 --> 03:06:50,660
That is true.

2589
03:06:50,660 --> 03:06:51,020
Do you remember.

2590
03:06:51,260 --> 03:06:51,900
Is it okay?

2591
03:06:52,080 --> 03:06:52,440
Yeah.

2592
03:06:52,460 --> 03:06:56,080
When we looked back at the minute notes it, you had a very robust conversation.

2593
03:06:56,500 --> 03:06:57,800
That's true about all of that.

2594
03:06:57,960 --> 03:07:00,780
And I believe the notes reflected that at the end of the day you're going to follow.

2595
03:07:00,980 --> 03:07:06,100
Just give this one more process for you to evaluate on kind of your own philosophy of what this

2596
03:07:06,100 --> 03:07:07,520
My day should be used for.

2597
03:07:07,920 --> 03:07:10,640
And I would like to make a small correction if you could repeat the number.

2598
03:07:10,640 --> 03:07:11,500
You said 21,000.

2599
03:07:11,560 --> 03:07:12,580
That was your original budget.

2600
03:07:12,580 --> 03:07:19,320
with the plaque and the RMNA attorney I believe you're down to. I can't bring my small handwriting

2601
03:07:19,320 --> 03:07:24,020
on your stick. 6400. 6400. I apologize. Yes.

2602
03:07:24,120 --> 03:07:30,980
That doesn't. Did we already do the after prompts? Yes, that is a separate bucket from the

2603
03:07:30,980 --> 03:07:38,920
21,000. So we did that out. So 6400 left for the rest of the year, which we're in November now,

2604
03:07:38,920 --> 03:07:48,740
almost. So, that has not been dedicated. Okay, and then we do have the consideration already

2605
03:07:48,740 --> 03:07:54,620
on the table for community solutions, which was the range for that a thousand.

2606
03:07:54,620 --> 03:07:59,260
A thousand, seventy for the table at the legislative office, get to like four thousand.

2607
03:07:59,340 --> 03:08:05,540
So at our next meeting, Mariposa Wong is going to bring that issue up on whether we want to

2608
03:08:05,540 --> 03:08:09,500
at that thousand dollars so that could potentially be used.

2609
03:08:11,680 --> 03:08:16,740
I also wanted to, at least for consideration, bring up this,

2610
03:08:16,780 --> 03:08:19,540
didn't group that did present to us, which was the Centaur's

2611
03:08:20,080 --> 03:08:25,760
Poms team to support their trips to Florida,

2612
03:08:26,620 --> 03:08:30,440
and just as a consideration, right?

2613
03:08:32,140 --> 03:08:39,560
And so I will bring that request for $1,000 to support them and their trip out our next meeting to give you a heads up.

2614
03:08:40,100 --> 03:08:45,380
And so that would also give me in the rest of the council time to identify exactly where the one is going.

2615
03:08:47,320 --> 03:09:02,150
And then the possibility of using some of those remaining funds as well to further establish

2616
03:09:02,630 --> 03:09:09,550
to fully establish our Cisteracy program, which I will come back to council as well.

2617
03:09:09,950 --> 03:09:15,970
And I know, and this is just like this is not going to mean annual thing is just I want to bring this up because I feel

2618
03:09:15,970 --> 03:09:23,330
like this is just for the initial process of fully solidifying our sister city with the ketos

2619
03:09:23,330 --> 03:09:28,810
Peru, which by the way, is voting on their resolution on November 4th, their next council

2620
03:09:28,810 --> 03:09:34,010
meeting to officialize. I know we already voted on our end, they're voting on their end, and

2621
03:09:34,010 --> 03:09:40,830
then there is sort of a official signing ceremony and just to make sure we have everything

2622
03:09:40,830 --> 03:09:47,290
prepared and ready for that. I may be coming back to Council next week as well. I know it's

2623
03:09:47,290 --> 03:09:52,450
a lot, three things in one meeting, but we do not need to support all of these initiatives.

2624
03:09:52,930 --> 03:09:56,850
This is just something I'm giving Council heads up on so that we can look at and bring back.

2625
03:09:57,050 --> 03:10:04,750
So I may request or see if Council is open to contributing some of those remaining 6400

2626
03:10:05,530 --> 03:10:10,390
to that establishing the sister's e-program.

2627
03:10:12,170 --> 03:10:17,950
So that even with those requests that will still leave us with some remaining contingency as well,

2628
03:10:18,550 --> 03:10:24,010
this could be the first time and since I've been on Councilor Councilor Council has used the full contingency.

2629
03:10:25,110 --> 03:10:29,170
So I'm not saying I'm just giving you all heads up that I may be coming back with those items.

2630
03:10:30,410 --> 03:10:31,270
Yes, okay.

2631
03:10:31,810 --> 03:10:36,910
So for those, I think we have enough information on the first one, the community

2632
03:10:36,910 --> 03:10:40,650
solutions of what that would be, will we get additional information on the other two of

2633
03:10:40,650 --> 03:10:40,890
what?

2634
03:10:41,130 --> 03:10:47,330
I will send detailed emails and phone calls or whatever's needed over the next couple

2635
03:10:47,870 --> 03:10:48,350
days.

2636
03:10:48,590 --> 03:10:49,710
An email slide, thank you.

2637
03:10:50,570 --> 03:10:51,970
I'll call you.

2638
03:10:52,610 --> 03:10:53,070
I'll call you.

2639
03:10:53,150 --> 03:10:53,250
I'll call you.

2640
03:10:53,570 --> 03:10:53,810
I'll call you.

2641
03:10:54,090 --> 03:10:54,670
I'll call you.

2642
03:10:55,230 --> 03:10:56,250
I'll call you.

2643
03:10:57,850 --> 03:10:58,670
I'll call you.

2644
03:10:59,070 --> 03:10:59,810
I'll call you.

2645
03:10:59,810 --> 03:11:05,870
make announcements as well as as you all have seen or read in the paper heard. I am

2646
03:11:05,870 --> 03:11:11,270
not pursuing reelection here as mayor for the city of Lafayette. Lots of

2647
03:11:11,270 --> 03:11:14,350
different reasons but for some reason a lot of people feel to just call me

2648
03:11:14,350 --> 03:11:18,430
directly and ask me. I mean you can totally just do that. That's a lot easier

2649
03:11:18,430 --> 03:11:23,350
than speculating and assuming things. And I don't need to get too much into

2650
03:11:23,350 --> 03:11:29,690
I still have three more meetings left after this I'm happy to speak more. But

2651
03:11:29,690 --> 03:11:32,170
It's, you know, a lot of different reasons

2652
03:11:32,170 --> 03:11:33,930
factored into that decision.

2653
03:11:35,610 --> 03:11:37,670
One of those is my 30th birthday came,

2654
03:11:38,090 --> 03:11:39,190
and I'll guess that I looked back,

2655
03:11:39,190 --> 03:11:39,930
and I was like,

2656
03:11:40,210 --> 03:11:43,890
thing, I spent my entire 20s at City Hall.

2657
03:11:44,290 --> 03:11:47,010
Like at night, to use days and stuff.

2658
03:11:47,430 --> 03:11:48,510
And so it's just like,

2659
03:11:48,590 --> 03:11:51,010
those people that actually know me,

2660
03:11:51,310 --> 03:11:54,090
people that don't just watch these meetings and see me

2661
03:11:54,090 --> 03:11:56,250
on the diet, or watch from home,

2662
03:11:56,250 --> 03:12:26,230
People that get to know me, my actual friends and family, they know that I'm a very reflective person, and very big picture thinker, you know, I take, I don't take, I make sure that any time I am prioritizing something in my life, it's for a big reason, and I don't dwell on like little things, I look at things like, you know, from that big picture lens,

2663
03:12:27,970 --> 03:12:34,310
I've realized there's a lot of things in life that are more important to me that I want

2664
03:12:34,310 --> 03:12:41,290
to spend more time on. My friends and family specifically. I also realize that we talk

2665
03:12:41,290 --> 03:12:47,430
about like we go to these some folks may go to like these no teens marches, right? And we see

2666
03:12:47,430 --> 03:12:53,490
a lot of folks in politics trying to consolidate power and take it from themselves and I do feel like

2667
03:12:54,090 --> 03:12:59,330
It's important to give other people the opportunity like chances are one of the people sitting next to me tonight

2668
03:12:59,330 --> 03:13:02,270
We'll probably be the next mayor of the city and I think that's great

2669
03:13:02,670 --> 03:13:06,510
I don't think we should sit there and interfere prevent that from happening

2670
03:13:06,510 --> 03:13:14,910
There's no fault in someone sharing the same dream as you and you shouldn't sit there and be an obstacle in their way and so

2671
03:13:14,910 --> 03:13:20,790
You know, I have a lot more to say, but I just know it's primarily on good terms

2672
03:13:20,790 --> 03:13:27,030
why I'm choosing making that decision and it's that big picture thinking of what's truly important

2673
03:13:27,030 --> 03:13:35,510
in my life and what's you know what can wait and so I love this job it's a great job but whoever

2674
03:13:35,510 --> 03:13:40,670
is the next variable quickly realized you know it's not an easy job and I'm sure a lot of you already

2675
03:13:40,670 --> 03:13:47,590
know that but regardless I'm happy for whoever does fill that position I dig genuinely am and I hope

2676
03:13:47,590 --> 03:13:50,690
that, you know, I will do everything in my power

2677
03:13:50,690 --> 03:13:53,130
to make sure you are set up for success,

2678
03:13:53,450 --> 03:13:55,670
and that you have all the information you need,

2679
03:13:55,930 --> 03:13:57,590
and that it is a smooth transition,

2680
03:13:58,470 --> 03:14:01,030
and that we are there to support one another

2681
03:14:01,030 --> 03:14:05,030
in these positions and not there to see each other fail.

2682
03:14:06,870 --> 03:14:10,030
So, with that meeting adjourn,

2683
03:14:10,030 --> 03:14:11,110
I'm not meeting adjourn.

2684
03:14:11,410 --> 03:14:13,110
I will actually make a motion now.

2685
03:14:13,850 --> 03:14:17,410
Some two adjourn to executive session pursuant

2686
03:14:17,410 --> 03:14:21,210
as sections 24, 6, 4, or 24B of the color-wise

2687
03:14:21,210 --> 03:14:24,970
statutes for the purposes of receiving legal advice from the city,

2688
03:14:25,350 --> 03:14:29,390
attorneys office on specific legal questions regarding the terms and conditions

2689
03:14:29,390 --> 03:14:33,330
of contracts pertaining to the operation and use of certain

2690
03:14:33,330 --> 03:14:35,790
city facilities. Do I have a second?

2691
03:14:37,030 --> 03:14:39,570
All right, motion and second all those in favor say aye.

2692
03:14:39,570 --> 03:14:48,610
In the opposed, then opposed the City Council will adjourn to executive session and will not return into an open leading the time is now 8.40pm.
