for our power point. Already and

31
00:07:36,322 --> 00:07:40,559
here we are. You'll start off as

32
00:07:40,559 --> 00:07:42,962
always, with our cat of the week

33
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:45,932
. His name is fluffy boy. His

34
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:48,200
number is 66693. And he says,

35
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,202
I'm one of the brothers to the

36
00:07:50,202 --> 00:07:54,439
previous My forever home. I get

37
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:56,208
scared of sudden movements or

38
00:07:56,208 --> 00:07:57,410
loud noises, but I love getting

39
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:59,111
pets and being a last duty. I

40
00:07:59,111 --> 00:08:00,646
get so happy that I even started

41
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,014
drooling. Sometimes I've lived

42
00:08:02,014 --> 00:08:03,616
with my brothers for a likely my

43
00:08:03,616 --> 00:08:05,884
whole life. You can adopt us all

44
00:08:05,884 --> 00:08:07,853
together, or I mht bable to

45
00:08:07,853 --> 00:08:08,820
make new cat friends. And then

46
00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:10,990
we also have our dog of the week

47
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:13,125
. I realized my camera is Coming

48
00:08:13,125 --> 00:08:16,995
off them. Text. So let me see if

49
00:08:16,995 --> 00:08:18,997
I can Take my video off really

50
00:08:18,997 --> 00:08:23,969
quick. There we go. Awesome The

51
00:08:23,969 --> 00:08:25,972
week his name is Wilbur and his

52
00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:28,374
number is 60 to 83. And he says

53
00:08:28,374 --> 00:08:29,975
, I'm an excellent companion who

54
00:08:29,975 --> 00:08:31,476
gets along with dogs, cats and

55
00:08:31,476 --> 00:08:32,711
well behaved Children. I

56
00:08:32,711 --> 00:08:34,179
absolutely love perfection. My

57
00:08:34,179 --> 00:08:36,582
weekend, Foster said that it

58
00:08:36,582 --> 00:08:37,450
gives the best hopes organized

59
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:38,784
and the leash and I'm pretty

60
00:08:38,784 --> 00:08:41,153
food motivated, so use that to

61
00:08:41,153 --> 00:08:41,854
your advantage and training me

62
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:43,623
and the sweetest boy ever. It's

63
00:08:43,623 --> 00:08:44,790
such a surprise that I haven't

64
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:46,592
met my forever family yet. So

65
00:08:46,592 --> 00:08:48,193
that be you. And then regarding

66
00:08:48,193 --> 00:08:49,495
adoption events, we will be at

67
00:08:49,495 --> 00:08:51,097

00:08:51,097 --> 00:08:52,764
Public house this Saturday. The

69
00:08:52,764 --> 00:08:55,167
23rd will be there from 11 am to

two PM will have adoptable dogs

71
00:08:56,535 --> 00:08:58,637
for you guys to meet usually

72
00:08:58,637 --> 00:09:00,338
stationed kind of right by the

73
00:09:00,338 --> 00:09:01,673
front entrance. So you can't

74
00:09:01,673 --> 00:09:03,509
miss us. You can't miss the dogs

75
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:05,544
, but we hope you come out and

76
00:09:05,544 --> 00:09:06,711
maybe you'll find your next free

77
00:09:06,711 --> 00:09:08,748
rent. Another topic I'd like to

78
00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:10,249
present on today Regards

79
00:09:10,249 --> 00:09:12,751
enrichment, so adopted a dog or

80
00:09:12,751 --> 00:09:15,320
a cat from a shelter or anywhere

81
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,757
. Um but what's next? You kind

82
00:09:17,757 --> 00:09:18,524
of notice that there are a

83
00:09:18,524 --> 00:09:19,959
little after the adjustment

84
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:21,427
period, they might get a little

85
00:09:21,427 --> 00:09:22,427
anxious entity that might start,

86
00:09:22,427 --> 00:09:24,062
especially if it's a younger dog

87
00:09:24,062 --> 00:09:25,798
chewing on things. It's not

88
00:09:25,798 --> 00:09:26,532
supposed to be chewing. Your

89
00:09:26,532 --> 00:09:27,899
cats might be kind of scratching

90
00:09:27,899 --> 00:09:30,136
up on the furniture. Um So what

91
00:09:30,136 --> 00:09:31,537
is the solution? The solution?

92
00:09:31,537 --> 00:09:33,139
One of the solutions would

93
00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:34,573
definitely be to turn towards

94
00:09:34,573 --> 00:09:36,609
enrichment. So what is in

95
00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:39,412
Richmond him their exercises

96
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:40,779
that allow your head to engage

97
00:09:40,779 --> 00:09:41,747
in their innate behaviors. So

98
00:09:41,747 --> 00:09:43,749
that's like sniffing, scratching

99
00:09:43,749 --> 00:09:45,518
, um, chewing tasting kind of

100
00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:48,921
it. Engaging all of the senses

101
00:09:48,921 --> 00:09:50,289
that they would normally use if

102
00:09:50,289 --> 00:09:51,857
they happen to be like stayed

103
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:53,426
out in the wild. Um enrichment

104
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:55,494
is most physical and mental and

105
00:09:55,494 --> 00:09:56,262
of course, without enrichment,

106
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:58,431
provided in your home had some

107
00:09:58,431 --> 00:09:59,932
more more likely to exhibit

108
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,434
unwanted behaviors, and that's

109
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:02,435
like the destructive behaviors

110
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:04,536
like chewing up couches,

111
00:10:04,536 --> 00:10:06,672
furnitures doors, even parking

112
00:10:06,672 --> 00:10:08,908
or yelling, inappropriate play

113
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:10,576
interactions, so they play a

114
00:10:10,576 --> 00:10:12,210
little bit too rough with you.

115
00:10:12,210 --> 00:10:14,213
Um, that is a sign of low in

116
00:10:14,213 --> 00:10:14,981
Richmond. As was anxious

117
00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:19,418
behaviors. And so some examples

118
00:10:19,418 --> 00:10:20,986
of canine enrichment.

119
00:10:20,986 --> 00:10:22,354
Specifically there's food

120
00:10:22,354 --> 00:10:24,156
enrichment. There's like puzzles

121
00:10:24,156 --> 00:10:25,391
, puzzle feeders. They have

122
00:10:25,391 --> 00:10:26,926
liberal knobs and twisty things

123
00:10:26,926 --> 00:10:28,493
that you stick the kibbles in.

124
00:10:28,493 --> 00:10:31,463
Um and you close it all up. You

125
00:10:31,463 --> 00:10:32,464
present it to your dog, and they

126
00:10:32,464 --> 00:10:34,433
have to use their brain and

127
00:10:34,433 --> 00:10:35,867
their nose in conjunction to

128
00:10:35,867 --> 00:10:37,702
open everything and get the food

129
00:10:37,702 --> 00:10:39,772
as like a little reward. It

130
00:10:39,772 --> 00:10:40,906
helps us obviously get them fed.

131
00:10:40,906 --> 00:10:42,742
And it kind of works out their

132
00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:44,410
mind a little bit more. Same

133
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:45,678
with snuffle mats. If you Google

134
00:10:45,678 --> 00:10:47,379
snuffle mats there a little like

135
00:10:47,379 --> 00:10:50,616
a Mats, or will they look like

136
00:10:50,616 --> 00:10:51,850
back mats, but they have like a

137
00:10:51,850 --> 00:10:53,586
very long, like felt kindof a

138
00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:55,720
S everywhere. So you hide the

139
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,188
cables underneath the tabs, and

140
00:10:57,188 --> 00:10:58,590
they have to use their nose to

141
00:10:58,590 --> 00:11:00,091
move everything around and try

142
00:11:00,091 --> 00:11:03,028
and pick out every piece of

143
00:11:03,028 --> 00:11:05,164
kibble it. Look Max. That's um,

144
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:06,732
just a very smooth like a

145
00:11:06,732 --> 00:11:09,334
textured matte.That you can

146
00:11:09,334 --> 00:11:10,669
smooth like smooth peanut

147
00:11:10,669 --> 00:11:11,737
butter. Yogurt Um, sort of kind

148
00:11:11,737 --> 00:11:15,374
of like Semi like some some

149
00:11:15,374 --> 00:11:18,143
myself to treat onto it. Um a

150
00:11:18,143 --> 00:11:19,712
lot of people love using like

151
00:11:19,712 --> 00:11:21,380
mats as destructions for like me

152
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:23,349
, bring or nailed, firming. It

153
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:26,585
kind of gets there. The licking

154
00:11:26,585 --> 00:11:29,922
. Um The act of looking helps

155
00:11:29,922 --> 00:11:32,124
decrease like anxieties in dogs.

156
00:11:32,124 --> 00:11:33,525
That kind of helps them film

157
00:11:33,525 --> 00:11:34,626
Everything doesn't hard one to

158
00:11:34,626 --> 00:11:36,761
help them feel a little bit more

159
00:11:36,761 --> 00:11:37,629
calm, so that's definitely

160
00:11:37,629 --> 00:11:39,231
helps. And especially those

161
00:11:39,231 --> 00:11:40,933
situations. Um they're also

162
00:11:40,933 --> 00:11:42,668
enrichment activities like

163
00:11:42,668 --> 00:11:44,503
scavenger hunts. So you can like

164
00:11:44,503 --> 00:11:46,038
hide treats around your home and

165
00:11:46,038 --> 00:11:47,672
have your help your dog kind of

166
00:11:47,672 --> 00:11:48,907
sniff around and find them and

167
00:11:48,907 --> 00:11:50,409
engages them. It gets them

168
00:11:50,409 --> 00:11:51,610
moving. Kind of it's up on time

169
00:11:51,610 --> 00:11:54,880
for both of you. Um as well as a

170
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,282
sniff already walks us. Some

171
00:11:56,282 --> 00:11:58,717
people like to call them almond

172
00:11:58,717 --> 00:12:00,085
sniff Ari's or walks that are

173
00:12:00,085 --> 00:12:02,154
dedicated to allow your daughter

174
00:12:02,154 --> 00:12:03,188
to take in the sense of

175
00:12:03,188 --> 00:12:04,523
exploring the environment. It's

176
00:12:04,523 --> 00:12:06,825
far less structured than like a

177
00:12:06,825 --> 00:12:07,693
regular walk. If you're just

178
00:12:07,693 --> 00:12:09,962
kind of going down the street

179
00:12:09,962 --> 00:12:10,830
when you got in the dog, Faris

180
00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:13,632
or dog lead, um, usually kind of

181
00:12:13,632 --> 00:12:16,668
in a Not as like a neighborhood

182
00:12:16,668 --> 00:12:18,904
area, maybe like in a park.

183
00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:21,473
Where you can have a long lead

184
00:12:21,473 --> 00:12:22,842
and let your dog kind of sniff

185
00:12:22,842 --> 00:12:24,443
around taking a sense and kind

186
00:12:24,443 --> 00:12:26,745
of just like a Have his own time

187
00:12:26,745 --> 00:12:28,380
never taking in the environment

188
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:29,548
and helps them feel really kind

189
00:12:29,548 --> 00:12:32,718
of like mentally stimulated. Not

190
00:12:32,718 --> 00:12:35,221
for feline enrichment. Um a lot

191
00:12:35,221 --> 00:12:36,788
of professionals suggest,

192
00:12:36,788 --> 00:12:39,058
especially Jackson Galaxy is

193
00:12:39,058 --> 00:12:40,392
kind of a big my favorite kind

194
00:12:40,392 --> 00:12:41,960
of cat professional, and he

195
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,462
likes to call it codifying your

196
00:12:43,462 --> 00:12:46,331
household debt as well.

197
00:12:46,331 --> 00:12:47,900
Satisfying your households

198
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:49,734
having kept pressure cat kind of

199
00:12:49,734 --> 00:12:53,005
Oh, Making her sorry. Cat

200
00:12:53,005 --> 00:12:54,440
furniture. Excuse me that gives

201
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,742
them a like a selection of

202
00:12:56,742 --> 00:12:58,243
platforms, high platforms that

203
00:12:58,243 --> 00:12:59,778
they can jump and climb to

204
00:12:59,778 --> 00:13:01,780
cubbyholes that they can hang

205
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:02,948
out and Haydn pets, cats light

206
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:05,117
love, Having kind of like that

207
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:06,752
vertical space to move around

208
00:13:06,752 --> 00:13:08,587
and kind of basically three

209
00:13:08,587 --> 00:13:10,456
dimensions. It makes them feel

210
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:11,757
more comfortable and makes them

211
00:13:11,757 --> 00:13:13,759
feel a lot more kind of like

212
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:15,293
helping would in the wild,

213
00:13:15,293 --> 00:13:16,094
essentially also plenty of

214
00:13:16,094 --> 00:13:17,662
scratching posts. A lot of

215
00:13:17,662 --> 00:13:19,632
people like to suggest putting

216
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:20,566
scratching posts wherever you

217
00:13:20,566 --> 00:13:22,701
see your cat, um, might have an

218
00:13:22,701 --> 00:13:24,169
inkling of scratching like I

219
00:13:24,169 --> 00:13:25,638
have a scratching post on either

220
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:27,139
side of the couch. Um, and

221
00:13:27,139 --> 00:13:28,807
encourage my cats and praise

222
00:13:28,807 --> 00:13:30,809
them when they scratch The post

223
00:13:30,809 --> 00:13:31,810
instead of my couch, and they

224
00:13:31,810 --> 00:13:33,678
also usually like the texture of

225
00:13:33,678 --> 00:13:35,548
like the twine, scrappy post a

226
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:37,616
lot better than I could couch

227
00:13:37,616 --> 00:13:40,652
Anyways, I would assume at least

228
00:13:40,652 --> 00:13:42,087
those around giving them plenty

229
00:13:42,087 --> 00:13:43,355
of access to scratch without

230
00:13:43,355 --> 00:13:45,658
them getting in trouble? Okay

231
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:47,326
There's also a variety of cat

232
00:13:47,326 --> 00:13:48,928
toys that fulfill different

233
00:13:48,928 --> 00:13:49,562
sensory kind of needs to like

234
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:52,231
the crinkle toys. Um, the bells

235
00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:53,932
, um, toys that you can also

236
00:13:53,932 --> 00:13:55,600
sneak us stick treats in the

237
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,835
little teaser toys that you kind

238
00:13:56,835 --> 00:13:59,605
of dangle around and they chase

239
00:13:59,605 --> 00:14:00,305
Of course, participate in

240
00:14:00,305 --> 00:14:02,641
playtime with your cat. It's a

241
00:14:02,641 --> 00:14:03,408
great bonding experience for you

242
00:14:03,408 --> 00:14:06,444
both, um that the good feelings

243
00:14:06,444 --> 00:14:08,614
that the cat will feel when he's

244
00:14:08,614 --> 00:14:09,781
having a good time playing. He

245
00:14:09,781 --> 00:14:11,650
will also associate with you. So

246
00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:12,618
of course it strengthens your

247
00:14:12,618 --> 00:14:14,119
bond. Um and there alsfood,

248
00:14:14,119 --> 00:14:15,353
enrichment and cats as well. You

249
00:14:15,353 --> 00:14:17,222
can also have puzzle feeders.

250
00:14:17,222 --> 00:14:19,158
Or, like mats. Um I actually I

251
00:14:19,158 --> 00:14:20,826
pet sit. So I have a couple of

252
00:14:20,826 --> 00:14:22,794
my clients that have a couple of

253
00:14:22,794 --> 00:14:24,630
nice little like. But dispensers

254
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:26,965
Um one strip like a mouse when

255
00:14:26,965 --> 00:14:28,466
you put the cable in it, and the

256
00:14:28,466 --> 00:14:30,436
counts kind of knock it around

257
00:14:30,436 --> 00:14:31,436
and knocking around and up to

258
00:14:31,436 --> 00:14:34,039
the food comes out and they love

259
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:34,639
to do that, And there's also

260
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:36,474
like a little ball headed. The

261
00:14:36,474 --> 00:14:37,476
cat rolls around enough, the

262
00:14:37,476 --> 00:14:39,711
food will come out. They loved

263
00:14:39,711 --> 00:14:40,678
doing that little chasing it

264
00:14:40,678 --> 00:14:42,748
around. It's a great way to have

265
00:14:42,748 --> 00:14:43,815
them exercise as well as eat. Um

266
00:14:43,815 --> 00:14:45,416
And it's also like mats for cats

267
00:14:45,416 --> 00:14:48,153
as well. Um, cats also love

268
00:14:48,153 --> 00:14:49,021
looking. They bring themselves

269
00:14:49,021 --> 00:14:49,621
as well. Um you can also use

270
00:14:49,621 --> 00:14:51,924
like maths as like, kind of a

271
00:14:51,924 --> 00:14:53,391
distraction if you need to.

272
00:14:53,391 --> 00:14:54,526
Maybe also trim your cuts nails

273
00:14:54,526 --> 00:14:56,495
if you need to brush them, and

274
00:14:56,495 --> 00:14:57,696
if they're not like super fond

275
00:14:57,696 --> 00:14:59,298
of it. That's a great

276
00:14:59,298 --> 00:15:01,000
distraction. Um instead of like

277
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,167
mass, there's also like they

278
00:15:02,167 --> 00:15:04,603
look like yogurt tubes. I call

279
00:15:04,603 --> 00:15:05,604
him candy yogurt. They're like

280
00:15:05,604 --> 00:15:06,538
liquid treats that you can

281
00:15:06,538 --> 00:15:08,774
dispense slowly out of time to

282
00:15:08,774 --> 00:15:10,141
kind of destructive capital and

283
00:15:10,141 --> 00:15:11,109
make it enjoyable for them as

284
00:15:11,109 --> 00:15:13,044
well. Um it kind of brings the

285
00:15:13,044 --> 00:15:14,680
whole experience a lot of better

286
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,683
confrontation. That was in

287
00:15:17,683 --> 00:15:19,751
Richmond. Um we're both canine

288
00:15:19,751 --> 00:15:21,420

289
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:23,121
you how healthy pets in general

290
00:15:23,121 --> 00:15:24,857

291
00:15:24,857 --> 00:15:28,660
bodies. In mind their mental

292
00:15:28,660 --> 00:15:31,163
health and enrichment, of course

293
00:15:31,163 --> 00:15:32,531
, as well as their physical

294
00:15:32,531 --> 00:15:33,999
health and exercise and

295
00:15:33,999 --> 00:15:34,933
nutrition. Um never forget the

296
00:15:34,933 --> 00:15:36,768
mentality of the over trade as

297
00:15:36,768 --> 00:15:41,473

00:19:15,887 --> 00:19:18,790
into daily routine. And whereas

386
00:19:37,642 --> 00:19:39,978
environmental consequences of

387
00:19:39,978 --> 00:19:42,547
Apostle fuel use and whereas the

388
00:19:42,547 --> 00:19:44,716
lives of hundreds of Children

389
00:19:44,716 --> 00:19:46,184

391
00:19:47,953 --> 00:19:50,555

00:19:55,093 --> 00:19:58,130
congestion and air pollution And

396
00:19:58,130 --> 00:19:59,798
whereas identifying shortcomings

397
00:19:59,798 --> 00:20:01,966
and transportation systems is

398
00:20:01,966 --> 00:20:03,902
the first step towards enhanced

399
00:20:03,902 --> 00:20:06,271
, seen bicycle pedestrian safety

400
00:20:06,271 --> 00:20:09,508
and whereas community members

401
00:20:09,508 --> 00:20:10,742
and leaders should make a plan

402
00:20:10,742 --> 00:20:12,677

and develop a list of

406
00:20:18,316 --> 00:20:20,118
suggestions for improvements

407
00:20:20,118 --> 00:20:21,253
that can be plemted over

adversely affected by falut

628
00:30:21,752 --> 00:30:23,421
from the Trinity Atomic Bomb.

629
00:30:23,421 --> 00:30:25,490
John It was four years old at

00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:26,891
the time of the explosion, and

631
00:30:26,891 --> 00:30:28,526
she vividly remembers the

632
00:30:28,526 --> 00:30:30,295
incredible bright light from the

633
00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:31,896
bottom coming in her window

634
00:30:31,896 --> 00:30:33,398
where she lived in Carrizo. So

635
00:30:33,398 --> 00:30:34,365
New Mexico the test happened

636
00:30:34,365 --> 00:30:35,366
approximately 26 miles from

637
00:30:35,366 --> 00:30:38,937
Janet's home. John. It has

638
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:40,405
survived a very aggressive

639
00:30:40,405 --> 00:30:41,973
breast cancer and also suffers

640
00:30:41,973 --> 00:30:43,441
from a thyroid disease. Her

641
00:30:43,441 --> 00:30:45,310
mother had thyroid disease and

642
00:30:45,310 --> 00:30:46,577
underwent a surgical removal of

643
00:30:46,577 --> 00:30:47,979

644
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:49,580
. Her father developed lung

645
00:30:49,580 --> 00:30:51,315

646
00:30:51,315 --> 00:30:52,750
died at 62. Jeunet's daughter

647
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:54,652
and grandson also have thyroid

648
00:30:54,652 --> 00:30:56,988
diseas Janet's story is all

649
00:30:56,988 --> 00:30:58,188
too common for members of

650
00:30:58,188 --> 00:30:59,690
communities affected by the

651
00:30:59,690 --> 00:31:02,259
fallout. We are proud to accept

652
00:31:02,259 --> 00:31:02,960

653
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,128

654
00:31:04,128 --> 00:31:06,597
efforts by the T BDC we'll see

655
00:31:06,597 --> 00:31:08,366
real results and finally get

656
00:31:08,366 --> 00:31:10,034
compensation for the many people

657
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:11,135

658
00:31:11,135 --> 00:31:13,470

Council, city manager, staff and

689
00:33:03,948 --> 00:33:05,716
public. My name is Yolanda Diaz

690
00:33:05,716 --> 00:33:07,551
with care today. I want to

691
00:33:07,551 --> 00:33:09,854
present a scenario for the sake

692
00:33:09,854 --> 00:33:10,888
of this scenario. I can be

693
00:33:10,888 --> 00:33:14,158
anyone and you can be anyone. I

694
00:33:14,158 --> 00:33:15,893
have been experiencing some

695
00:33:15,893 --> 00:33:16,960
hardships, including my

696
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,864
television going out. My income

697
00:33:19,864 --> 00:33:21,265
is limited. You see my life

698
00:33:21,265 --> 00:33:22,966
opportunities. They did not

699
00:33:22,966 --> 00:33:24,735
provide me to go to college. Get

700
00:33:24,735 --> 00:33:26,870
a degree get a great job, and my

701
00:33:26,870 --> 00:33:28,873
employer isn't able to provide

702
00:33:28,873 --> 00:33:30,107
benefits, including health

703
00:33:30,107 --> 00:33:31,074
insurance. My income is

704
00:33:31,074 --> 00:33:33,844
considered low income. And I fit

705
00:33:33,844 --> 00:33:35,313
in with about 20% of my

706
00:33:35,313 --> 00:33:37,414
community. I want to buy a

707
00:33:37,414 --> 00:33:39,717
television. I go to best buy in

708
00:33:39,717 --> 00:33:40,517
Las Cruces. I found find the

709
00:33:40,517 --> 00:33:42,787

710
00:33:42,787 --> 00:33:44,321
inch TCL. It's on sale for

711
00:33:44,321 --> 00:33:47,557
$249.99 discounted from the

00:33:47,557 --> 00:33:50,394
regular price of $299.99. I'm

713
00:33:50,394 --> 00:33:52,663
happy. It's a smart TV. I go to

718
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:03,040
thinking Wow, good for you. I

719
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,077
don't pay 249 99. I pay more

720
00:34:06,077 --> 00:34:08,145
because I have to pay sales tax

721
00:34:08,145 --> 00:34:09,614
cashier tells me that my total

722
00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:12,917
is $270.46. I heard the cashier

723
00:34:12,917 --> 00:34:14,651
say to you, It will be $6491.24,

724
00:34:14,651 --> 00:34:17,688

728
00:34:25,062 --> 00:34:26,530

00:35:11,141 --> 00:35:12,409
But I was told that they cannot

751
00:35:12,409 --> 00:35:14,144
give you an appointment because

752
00:35:14,144 --> 00:35:15,179
you don't have health insurance

753
00:35:15,179 --> 00:35:18,449
coverage. What do I do? Where do

754
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:20,017
I turn? Although the only

755
00:35:20,017 --> 00:35:21,552
insurance that I that I will

756
00:35:21,552 --> 00:35:23,621
qualif for will give me a 75%

757
00:35:23,621 --> 00:35:26,089
reduction and I won't have to

758
00:35:26,089 --> 00:35:29,026
1006 110, but I would monthly

759
00:35:29,026 --> 00:35:31,295
premium of $403 plus out of

760
00:35:31,295 --> 00:35:33,597
pocket costs. I simply can't

761
00:35:33,597 --> 00:35:35,632
afford it. Can I be without my

762
00:35:35,632 --> 00:35:37,201
food, Not paying my rent, not

763
00:35:37,201 --> 00:35:39,904
pay my utilities or car payment.

764
00:35:39,904 --> 00:35:41,972
Oh and I was counted in the

765
00:35:41,972 --> 00:35:42,673
census just like you and our

766
00:35:42,673 --> 00:35:46,043
state receives $8682 a year for

767
00:35:46,043 --> 00:35:48,479
me and you and all the residents

768
00:35:48,479 --> 00:35:50,915
counted since the seventies. I

769
00:35:50,915 --> 00:35:51,849
contributed to our economy, pay

770
00:35:51,849 --> 00:35:53,950
taxes to our city, county and

771
00:35:53,950 --> 00:35:55,386
state health care is a human

772
00:35:55,386 --> 00:35:58,422
need A life is a like, does my

773
00:35:58,422 --> 00:36:00,223
life not matter? Do I not

774
00:36:00,223 --> 00:36:01,525
deserve healthcare protection of

775
00:36:01,525 --> 00:36:03,927
my life and safety? Why have I

776
00:36:03,927 --> 00:36:06,030
been denied an appointment at

777
00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:07,431
her city County Least? Hospital.

778
00:36:07,431 --> 00:36:13,437
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

779
00:36:13,437 --> 00:36:15,473

and actual podium podium. You

787
00:36:39,897 --> 00:36:42,033
can raise as well. It's a side

788
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:44,535
button there now. Okay My name

789
00:36:44,535 --> 00:36:46,636
is Richard Farm, and I'm here in

790
00:36:46,636 --> 00:36:49,640
response to KR. W G news out of

791
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,509
that popped up on my, uh, cell

792
00:36:51,509 --> 00:36:53,544
phone the other day, disturbing

793
00:36:53,544 --> 00:36:56,414
otherwise Quiet afternoon, The

794
00:36:56,414 --> 00:36:58,516
title of this news article was

795
00:36:58,516 --> 00:37:01,952
Las Cruces rolls out the first

796
00:37:01,952 --> 00:37:05,022
prram. I was shocked andce

797
00:37:05,022 --> 00:37:10,127
dismayed. As I read further. The

798
00:37:10,127 --> 00:37:12,563
intent is to pay $500 per month.

799
00:37:12,563 --> 00:37:17,635
For 18 months. To a number of

800
00:37:17,635 --> 00:37:19,036
recipients. Basically we're

801
00:37:19,036 --> 00:37:20,404
paying $9000 of other people's

802
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:21,938
money. Do certain selected

803
00:37:21,938 --> 00:37:26,243
recipients. There's no

804
00:37:26,243 --> 00:37:27,878
requirement for any work, no

805
00:37:27,878 --> 00:37:30,247
requirement, no expectations at

806
00:37:30,247 --> 00:37:33,016
all in return, 150 families are

807
00:37:33,016 --> 00:37:36,821
supposed to participate in this

808
00:37:36,821 --> 00:37:42,193
Networks out to $1,350,000. Of

809
00:37:42,193 --> 00:37:43,393
taxpayer money for basically

810
00:37:43,393 --> 00:37:44,528
what's a social experiment. Now,

811
00:37:44,528 --> 00:37:49,800
Miss Bencomo. I had an email

812
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,635
dialog with you many months ago.

813
00:37:51,635 --> 00:37:53,971
And I'll have to say that I

814
00:37:53,971 --> 00:37:55,205
appreciate your response,

815
00:37:55,205 --> 00:37:56,206
because, frankly, I did not

816
00:37:56,206 --> 00:37:57,207
expect one. Steady to position

817
00:37:57,207 --> 00:38:01,011
clearly. And this is before the

818
00:38:01,011 --> 00:38:03,013
last election and again I

819
00:38:03,013 --> 00:38:04,615
appreciated that next express my

820
00:38:04,615 --> 00:38:07,818
appreciation to you. In the

821
00:38:07,818 --> 00:38:08,986
interim, alwaysoping that

822
00:38:08,986 --> 00:38:11,288
clearer heads would prevail.

823
00:38:11,288 --> 00:38:13,356
This scheme would die a natural

824
00:38:13,356 --> 00:38:14,992
death and obviously I was wrong.

825
00:38:14,992 --> 00:38:18,896
So here we are. So I'm wondering

826
00:38:18,896 --> 00:38:20,831
how these recipients of public

827
00:38:20,831 --> 00:38:22,766
largesse to be identified. What

828
00:38:22,766 --> 00:38:25,569
are the criteria? Who determines

829
00:38:25,569 --> 00:38:29,707
those criteria. How will those

830
00:38:29,707 --> 00:38:32,143
results being meaningfully

831
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:32,676
analyzed, interpreted and

832
00:38:32,676 --> 00:38:36,413
reported if at all? To meet.

833
00:38:36,413 --> 00:38:38,282
This is basically Social

834
00:38:38,282 --> 00:38:43,253
cronyism. The scheme is

835
00:38:43,253 --> 00:38:45,423
basically fiscally responsible.

836
00:38:45,423 --> 00:38:48,258
It's clearly unsustainable. And

837
00:38:48,258 --> 00:38:50,361
I would say it's even immoral.

838
00:38:50,361 --> 00:38:54,064
It is an insult to me. As a

839
00:38:54,064 --> 00:38:56,500
taxpayer. It is an insult to

840
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:57,568
every other taxpayer in this

841
00:38:57,568 --> 00:39:00,104
room and beyond. And also argue

842
00:39:00,104 --> 00:39:02,039
it's an insult to the intended

843
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:03,707
recipients. Because in return

844
00:39:03,707 --> 00:39:07,044
for some other people's money.

845
00:39:07,044 --> 00:39:08,946
They'll be giving up a little

846
00:39:08,946 --> 00:39:10,748
bit more of their dignity. Thank

847
00:39:10,748 --> 00:39:35,071
you. Thank you. 40405. Hello. Go

848
00:39:35,071 --> 00:39:39,777
ahead and put the Mike down and

849
00:39:39,777 --> 00:39:40,778
state your name, please. For the

850
00:39:40,778 --> 00:39:42,178
record. Patricia Jimenez, owner

851
00:39:42,178 --> 00:39:45,783
of the Little Shop on main I've

852
00:39:45,783 --> 00:39:47,218
been a victim of ongoing crime

853
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:49,453
and violence and march 23 and I

854
00:39:49,453 --> 00:39:51,122
have voiced my concerns to

855
00:39:51,122 --> 00:39:52,456
public officials. Politicians

856
00:39:52,456 --> 00:39:54,157
and advocates have numerous

857
00:39:54,157 --> 00:39:55,592
police reports with the Las

858
00:39:55,592 --> 00:39:57,127
Cruces Police Department.

859
00:39:57,127 --> 00:39:58,696
Furthermore cases in trials were

860
00:39:58,696 --> 00:40:00,797
dismissed by the city judges and

861
00:40:00,797 --> 00:40:02,599
the D A called and I went 911

862
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:04,001
numerous times and either the

863
00:40:04,001 --> 00:40:05,069
police showed up later never

864
00:40:05,069 --> 00:40:06,303
showed up at all. Numerous

865
00:40:06,303 --> 00:40:07,971
times, they would give me blank

866
00:40:07,971 --> 00:40:09,306
cards with no case number After

867
00:40:09,306 --> 00:40:11,342
I demanded that they give me

868
00:40:11,342 --> 00:40:12,543
one. They would say, What's the

869
00:40:12,543 --> 00:40:14,377
0.1 incident? I was re

870
00:40:14,377 --> 00:40:15,946
victimized by an officer bullied

871
00:40:15,946 --> 00:40:17,480
and interrogated, Hebrews

872
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,016
reported, along with another to

873
00:40:19,016 --> 00:40:21,118
internal affairs, and the case

874
00:40:21,118 --> 00:40:22,185
was later closed with n

875
00:40:22,185 --> 00:40:25,055
explanatt

876
00:40:25,055 --> 00:40:25,756
least 30 plus incidents at my

877
00:40:25,756 --> 00:40:26,690

878
00:40:26,690 --> 00:40:28,725
vandalism, stalking harassment,

879
00:40:28,725 --> 00:40:30,461
and I currently have a five year

order of protection from a

881
00:40:32,229 --> 00:40:34,598
stalker. One incident. I had to

882
00:40:34,598 --> 00:40:35,666
determine male covered in blood

883
00:40:35,666 --> 00:40:36,901
from entering my store. I'm

884
00:40:36,901 --> 00:40:38,903
demanding that there be a

885
00:40:38,903 --> 00:40:39,570
thorough investigation of the

886
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:40,971

00:40:42,472 --> 00:40:44,842
intimidation, bullet bullying

889
00:40:44,842 --> 00:40:46,577
harassment tampering. The cases,

890
00:40:46,577 --> 00:40:47,878
including factual errors,

891
00:40:47,878 --> 00:40:49,446
omissions, conclusive, very

892
00:40:49,446 --> 00:40:50,714

893
00:40:50,714 --> 00:40:53,984

if any body camera footage when

896
00:40:57,421 --> 00:41:00,090
requested willful negligence and

897
00:41:00,090 --> 00:41:01,057
not providing service and

898
00:41:01,057 --> 00:41:02,493
protection to the community

899
00:41:02,493 --> 00:41:03,994
needed during 911 calls

900
00:41:03,994 --> 00:41:07,464
Cassandra You come to my store

901
00:41:07,464 --> 00:41:09,033
with your husband. Bill sells

902
00:41:09,033 --> 00:41:10,367
legislators Senator in New

903
00:41:10,367 --> 00:41:11,401
Mexico and again after the

904
00:41:11,401 --> 00:41:13,303
airing of my situation on the

905
00:41:13,303 --> 00:41:14,571
news you offer to help but

906
00:41:14,571 --> 00:41:16,473
denied any knowledge of my

907
00:41:16,473 --> 00:41:17,574
incidents over the past seven

908
00:41:17,574 --> 00:41:18,308
months, although you were

909
00:41:18,308 --> 00:41:19,610
clearly made aware of my

910
00:41:19,610 --> 00:41:20,477
situation as a victim and

911
00:41:20,477 --> 00:41:22,545
ignored it. You told me twice in

912
00:41:22,545 --> 00:41:25,081
my store. It's not my fault.

913
00:41:25,081 --> 00:41:25,815
However the welfare of the

914
00:41:25,815 --> 00:41:26,416
community and district one is

915
00:41:26,416 --> 00:41:27,417
your responsibility and you are

916
00:41:27,417 --> 00:41:29,420
accountable. You insulted me and

917
00:41:29,420 --> 00:41:30,554
asked why, in a condescending

918
00:41:30,554 --> 00:41:31,955
and insensitive manner as to why

919
00:41:31,955 --> 00:41:32,823
didn't contact you and

920
00:41:32,823 --> 00:41:35,459
disregarded my well being. You

921
00:41:35,459 --> 00:41:37,494
made it personal and you threw

922
00:41:37,494 --> 00:41:39,129
it in my face that you bought

923
00:41:39,129 --> 00:41:40,731
furniture in my store, giving me

924
00:41:40,731 --> 00:41:42,232
the inclination that you would

925
00:41:42,232 --> 00:41:43,600
retaliate and never shot for me

926
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,436
again if I don't remain silent,

927
00:41:45,436 --> 00:41:46,503
Although I made it clear I

928
00:41:46,503 --> 00:41:48,872
didn't want to talk to you. You

929
00:41:48,872 --> 00:41:51,275
kept pressuring me to meet with

930
00:41:51,275 --> 00:41:51,942
you again before the public city

931
00:41:51,942 --> 00:41:53,177
hall meeting. I'm demanding that

932
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:53,610
there be a thorough

933
00:41:53,610 --> 00:41:55,446
investigation of the entire city

934
00:41:55,446 --> 00:41:57,047
Council regarding misconduct,

935
00:41:57,047 --> 00:41:58,515
intimidation, retaliation,

936
00:41:58,515 --> 00:42:00,117
manipulation and willful

937
00:42:00,117 --> 00:42:02,987
negligence. It is critical that

938
00:42:02,987 --> 00:42:03,621
e

939
00:42:03,621 --> 00:42:04,788
acceptable for security

940
00:42:04,788 --> 00:42:06,023
protection for the downtown

941
00:42:06,023 --> 00:42:08,125
businesses effective immediately

942
00:42:08,125 --> 00:42:09,726
, In addition, restitution of

943
00:42:09,726 --> 00:42:12,095
damages and lost income must be

944
00:42:12,095 --> 00:42:14,431
provided to affected business

945
00:42:14,431 --> 00:42:15,966
income and continue to lose it

946
00:42:15,966 --> 00:42:18,035
as a result under your watch.

947
00:42:18,035 --> 00:42:19,569
You have the power to do

948
00:42:19,569 --> 00:42:21,238
something, and you did nothing.

949
00:42:21,238 --> 00:42:23,173
Tax dollars. Pay your salary. If

950
00:42:23,173 --> 00:42:25,142
nothing is done. This will be

951
00:42:25,142 --> 00:42:26,744
escalated to state and federal

952
00:42:26,744 --> 00:42:28,145
agencies, including the media

953
00:42:28,145 --> 00:42:29,446
for further investigation. We

954
00:42:29,446 --> 00:42:31,849
have a civil right? To be

955
00:42:31,849 --> 00:42:33,884
protected, and we have a human

956
00:42:33,884 --> 00:42:35,018
right in our community as

957
00:42:35,018 --> 00:42:35,786
civilians and busins owrs.

958
00:42:35,786 --> 00:42:45,595
Change starts now. I'm gonna ask

959
00:42:45,595 --> 00:42:48,631
everybody to calm down. Hive Row

960
00:42:48,631 --> 00:42:57,975
five. Five. Are, you know? Five

961
00:42:57,975 --> 00:42:59,176

00:42:59,176 --> 00:43:05,349
state your name. Good afternoon

963
00:43:05,349 --> 00:43:06,383
. My name is Kelly Son Timer,

964
00:43:06,383 --> 00:43:08,185
and I am a business owner

965
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,288
downtown. My husband and I moved

966
00:43:11,288 --> 00:43:12,423
here from ST Louis about two

967
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:14,424
years ago. In the last month. I

968
00:43:14,424 --> 00:43:17,628
would say I have Either

969
00:43:17,628 --> 00:43:18,896
witnessed or experienced crime

970
00:43:18,896 --> 00:43:22,031
and my little area. My neighbor

971
00:43:22,031 --> 00:43:23,600
who's building there's attached

972
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,302
to mind her. Her business had a

973
00:43:25,302 --> 00:43:27,204
brick thrown through the window.

974
00:43:27,204 --> 00:43:29,840
I had to call the police last

975
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,475
Wednesday because of a very

976
00:43:31,475 --> 00:43:32,476
violent altercation outside my

977
00:43:32,476 --> 00:43:36,246
door. Was seven very large men.

978
00:43:36,246 --> 00:43:38,048
It was extremely scary, and it

979
00:43:38,048 --> 00:43:39,917
was scary for all the customers

980
00:43:39,917 --> 00:43:42,619
that were there. I know that

981
00:43:42,619 --> 00:43:44,054
there was a car vandalized

982
00:43:44,054 --> 00:43:46,623
behind our parking lot. During

983
00:43:46,623 --> 00:43:50,827
the farmers market. And my

984
00:43:50,827 --> 00:43:52,529
husband and I are moving our

985
00:43:52,529 --> 00:43:53,596
shop down the street because we

986
00:43:53,596 --> 00:43:56,800
need more space and There was a

987
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,169
person who I assume was

988
00:43:59,169 --> 00:44:00,137
homeless, sleeping right in

989
00:44:00,137 --> 00:44:01,271
front of our shop on the

990
00:44:01,271 --> 00:44:03,273
sidewalk. No We have spent a lot

991
00:44:03,273 --> 00:44:04,841
of money to open a business here

992
00:44:04,841 --> 00:44:06,376
and we are really concerned

993
00:44:06,376 --> 00:44:10,080
about The amount of crime I had

994
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,714
a woman come into my shop last

995
00:44:11,714 --> 00:44:13,884
week. She was a representative

996
00:44:13,884 --> 00:44:16,019
for you, Miss Mayor. Pro temp. I

997
00:44:16,019 --> 00:44:17,154
think she's working on your

998
00:44:17,154 --> 00:44:18,956
campaign. And I thought, Well,

999
00:44:18,956 --> 00:44:20,456
this is a great time for me. To

1000
00:44:20,456 --> 00:44:21,558
share a concern. And I said,

1001
00:44:21,558 --> 00:44:23,894
Well, could you please ask her?

1002
00:44:23,894 --> 00:44:25,763
What is she going to do about

1003
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:26,562
crime? The response I got was

1004
00:44:26,562 --> 00:44:27,830
well, there's crime everywhere.

1005
00:44:27,830 --> 00:44:30,934
Crime is bad everywhere. So I

1006
00:44:30,934 --> 00:44:32,736
told her. I said I was a

1007
00:44:32,736 --> 00:44:34,337
schoolteacher in ST Louis. We

1008
00:44:34,337 --> 00:44:35,705
had middle school and high

1009
00:44:35,705 --> 00:44:37,141
school students that had drug

1010
00:44:37,141 --> 00:44:39,009
addiction problems. School

1011
00:44:39,009 --> 00:44:39,976
phobia, violent behaviors,

1012
00:44:39,976 --> 00:44:43,180
mental illness. We had we were

1013
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:45,949
tasked. With helping these kids

1014
00:44:45,949 --> 00:44:47,785
overcome their addiction.

1015
00:44:47,785 --> 00:44:49,452
Helping their parents. Help the

1016
00:44:49,452 --> 00:44:54,090
kids. Helping them get an

1017
00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:55,592
education and a diploma and help

1018
00:44:55,592 --> 00:44:56,726
them deal with their mental

1019
00:44:56,726 --> 00:45:00,731
illness. If I were to say to a

1020
00:45:00,731 --> 00:45:02,532
parent or to my boss. There was

1021
00:45:02,532 --> 00:45:05,368
drug abuse everywhere. A lot of

1022
00:45:05,368 --> 00:45:07,137
kids Don't graduate from high

1023
00:45:07,137 --> 00:45:08,505
school. Mental illness is a

1024
00:45:08,505 --> 00:45:10,707
problem. I would have lost my

1025
00:45:10,707 --> 00:45:16,813
job. And. I didn't do it so that

1026
00:45:16,813 --> 00:45:18,681
I didn't lose my job. I did it

1027
00:45:18,681 --> 00:45:20,751
because the task that I was

1028
00:45:20,751 --> 00:45:22,819
given was very important. So as

1029
00:45:22,819 --> 00:45:23,953
a business owner. I have a

1030
00:45:23,953 --> 00:45:26,023
question for every one of you.

1031
00:45:26,023 --> 00:45:27,457
As a person representing the

1032
00:45:27,457 --> 00:45:30,127
city. What advice would you give

1033
00:45:30,127 --> 00:45:31,695
to someone wanting to open a

1034
00:45:31,695 --> 00:45:34,064
business down here knowing that

1035
00:45:34,064 --> 00:45:35,265
I have to have bars on my

1036
00:45:35,265 --> 00:45:36,432
windows? I have to have a

1037
00:45:36,432 --> 00:45:39,636
security system. I have to walk

1038
00:45:39,636 --> 00:45:41,538
over people sleeping on the

1039
00:45:41,538 --> 00:45:42,806
sidewalk in front of my shop and

1040
00:45:42,806 --> 00:45:44,474
hope that my customers will do

1041
00:45:44,474 --> 00:45:46,410
that as well. And I have to

1042
00:45:46,410 --> 00:45:48,045
hope. People don't stop coming

1043
00:45:48,045 --> 00:45:50,814
downtown because of the amount

1044
00:45:50,814 --> 00:45:54,017
of violence. Thank you. Anybody

1045
00:45:54,017 --> 00:46:09,032
else on row five. 06.

1046
00:46:09,032 --> 00:46:10,533
If you're if you're going to

1047
00:46:10,533 --> 00:46:11,969
speak, make your way down and

1048
00:46:11,969 --> 00:46:14,104

1049
00:46:14,104 --> 00:46:15,405
front, please. Thank you. Please

1050
00:46:15,405 --> 00:46:18,375
State your name for the record.

1051
00:46:18,375 --> 00:46:20,243
My name is W bond. Good

1052
00:46:20,243 --> 00:46:21,211
afternoon. Mayor. Pro temp

1053
00:46:21,211 --> 00:46:24,715
necessity, Council. I'm a vendor

1054
00:46:24,715 --> 00:46:25,882
at the Farmer's market, and I've

1055
00:46:25,882 --> 00:46:27,918
been there for many, many years.

1056
00:46:27,918 --> 00:46:31,187
I'm here to Talk about our

1057
00:46:31,187 --> 00:46:33,623
concerns as a vendor of the

1058
00:46:33,623 --> 00:46:38,028
homeless, but also to Ah, back

1059
00:46:38,028 --> 00:46:39,496
the downtown business people

1060
00:46:39,496 --> 00:46:41,731
also we get down there at six

1061
00:46:41,731 --> 00:46:43,399
o'clock in the morning, and we

1062
00:46:43,399 --> 00:46:44,734
see the homeless and the

1063
00:46:44,734 --> 00:46:46,803
vandalism that's going on. And I

1064
00:46:46,803 --> 00:46:49,106
can remember back when downtown

1065
00:46:49,106 --> 00:46:51,208
was like a ghost town other than

1066
00:46:51,208 --> 00:46:53,209
when we showed up on Saturdays.

1067
00:46:53,209 --> 00:46:54,444
I'm very proud that we have

1068
00:46:54,444 --> 00:46:56,246
downtown business people. Now it

1069
00:46:56,246 --> 00:46:58,214
looks wonderful. I was there

1070
00:46:58,214 --> 00:47:00,016
during the route debt study and

1071
00:47:00,016 --> 00:47:01,184
how things have changed down

1072
00:47:01,184 --> 00:47:04,087
there. Butiolence and the

1073
00:47:04,087 --> 00:47:06,123
homeless is a really big problem

1074
00:47:06,123 --> 00:47:08,725
Downtown. I would hope someday

1075
00:47:08,725 --> 00:47:09,893
we could get more police

1076
00:47:09,893 --> 00:47:12,295
presence down there. We all look

1077
00:47:12,295 --> 00:47:14,030
after each other down there, but

1078
00:47:14,030 --> 00:47:15,798
it gets pretty scary. I had my

1079
00:47:15,798 --> 00:47:18,869
life threatened by a man who was

1080
00:47:18,869 --> 00:47:20,604
begging for money from our

1081
00:47:20,604 --> 00:47:23,307
customers, and I just asked him

1082
00:47:23,307 --> 00:47:24,407
very nicely to move on. We were

1083
00:47:24,407 --> 00:47:26,710
told we could do that. I was a

1084
00:47:26,710 --> 00:47:28,979
block captain at that time, and

1085
00:47:28,979 --> 00:47:30,947
I wore a badge with my name on

1086
00:47:30,947 --> 00:47:33,150
it. And he addressed me by name

1087
00:47:33,150 --> 00:47:35,151
and said that if I even called

1088
00:47:35,151 --> 00:47:37,054
for help, he would come back and

1089
00:47:37,054 --> 00:47:38,654
kill me. So I quit wearing my

1090
00:47:38,654 --> 00:47:42,526
badge, But it is a situation

1091
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:44,094
downtown to protect even when

1092
00:47:44,094 --> 00:47:47,197
the city is holding a big event

1093
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:49,132
, which we do a lot. The parking

1094
00:47:49,132 --> 00:47:52,302
lots aren't safe. And I just

1095
00:47:52,302 --> 00:47:54,537
like you to consider what can be

1096
00:47:54,537 --> 00:47:56,540
done for the safety of the

1097
00:47:56,540 --> 00:47:57,641
people in the downtown area.

1098
00:47:57,641 --> 00:48:08,852
Thank you. Thank you. You

1099
00:48:08,852 --> 00:48:11,888
pretend Couil o Garcia. I'm

1100
00:48:11,888 --> 00:48:13,890
a firm believer in supporting

1101
00:48:13,890 --> 00:48:15,659
those in our community in need,

1102
00:48:15,659 --> 00:48:16,593
like those requiring

1103
00:48:16,593 --> 00:48:18,996
catastrophic health care.

1104
00:48:18,996 --> 00:48:21,198

1117
00:48:48,325 --> 00:48:50,026

1122
00:48:57,900 --> 00:48:59,169
that asks and when their

1123
00:48:59,169 --> 00:49:01,871
personal savings are depleted.

1124
00:49:01,871 --> 00:49:02,905
They get a personal loan and

1125
00:49:02,905 --> 00:49:04,641
start again same concept that

1126
00:49:04,641 --> 00:49:08,145
the taxpayers have to deal with.

1127
00:49:08,145 --> 00:49:09,813
I would like to thank Kate Fox

1128
00:49:09,813 --> 00:49:10,847
for the recent interviews

1129
00:49:10,847 --> 00:49:11,914
dealing with crime affecting the

1130
00:49:11,914 --> 00:49:13,550
community. Cooker general

1131
00:49:13,550 --> 00:49:17,587
editorial on Sunday. City

1132
00:49:17,587 --> 00:49:19,255
Council members have sponsored a

1133
00:49:19,255 --> 00:49:21,758
resolution. The focus of this

1134
00:49:21,758 --> 00:49:23,126
resolution is on enhancing

1135
00:49:23,126 --> 00:49:26,429
Albuquerque ease. Efforts to

1136
00:49:26,429 --> 00:49:28,365
address crime key areas of focus

1137
00:49:28,365 --> 00:49:30,834
, including drug and mental

1138
00:49:30,834 --> 00:49:33,470
health issues, restructuring pre

1139
00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:35,806
trial detention securing funds

1140
00:49:35,806 --> 00:49:37,574
for the world program for the

1141
00:49:37,574 --> 00:49:39,509
next five years and supporting

1142
00:49:39,509 --> 00:49:41,044
law enforcement. This sentiment

1143
00:49:41,044 --> 00:49:42,612
is echoed by the LP, Kirky

1144
00:49:42,612 --> 00:49:43,513
Police Department indicate

1145
00:49:43,513 --> 00:49:47,283
indicating The urgency of

1146
00:49:47,283 --> 00:49:49,385
holding criminals accountable.

1147
00:49:49,385 --> 00:49:51,555
u've just heard numerous

1148
00:49:51,555 --> 00:49:53,389
victims that have come here and

1149
00:49:53,389 --> 00:49:55,458
spoken and they have done this

1150
00:49:55,458 --> 00:49:57,761
for the last year. It is time

1151
00:49:57,761 --> 00:49:59,128
that you do something to hold

1152
00:49:59,128 --> 00:50:01,098
this criminal so accountable.

1153
00:50:01,098 --> 00:50:03,166
And I continue with the quote.

1154
00:50:03,166 --> 00:50:04,601
There's a consensus that the

1155
00:50:04,601 --> 00:50:06,670
present conditions which prevent

1156
00:50:06,670 --> 00:50:08,305
families from feeling secure

1157
00:50:08,305 --> 00:50:10,139
during outdoor activities or

1158
00:50:10,139 --> 00:50:12,075
unacceptable. Does this sound

1159
00:50:12,075 --> 00:50:13,777
familiar? Unless Cruces you just

1160
00:50:13,777 --> 00:50:15,312
heard? A couple of couple of

1161
00:50:15,312 --> 00:50:16,713
individuals tell you that? We've

1162
00:50:16,713 --> 00:50:18,715
asked numerous times for the

1163
00:50:18,715 --> 00:50:19,649
council to request our state

1164
00:50:19,649 --> 00:50:22,552
lawmakers to take action? Like

1165
00:50:22,552 --> 00:50:24,554
the councils in Albuquerque.

1166
00:50:24,554 --> 00:50:26,523
In the meantime, the forgotten

1167
00:50:26,523 --> 00:50:28,091
victims listed on the list

1168
00:50:28,091 --> 00:50:29,759
Cruces Hall of Shame who don't

1169
00:50:29,759 --> 00:50:31,928
fit the category of quote, most

1170
00:50:31,928 --> 00:50:33,096
vulnerable in our population or

1171
00:50:33,096 --> 00:50:37,033
ignored. Albuquerque Journal

1172
00:50:37,033 --> 00:50:39,235
17th. September last year. 10

1173
00:50:39,235 --> 00:50:41,170
Bills addressing crime for

1174
00:50:41,170 --> 00:50:43,173
presented, but either didn't

1175
00:50:43,173 --> 00:50:44,708
make it into committee or died

1176
00:50:44,708 --> 00:50:46,743
in committee. The Democratic

1177
00:50:46,743 --> 00:50:48,678
majority opposed these bills.

1178
00:50:48,678 --> 00:50:52,748
Proposing the following. The

1179
00:50:52,748 --> 00:50:54,451
mayor sent a letter to state

1180
00:50:54,451 --> 00:50:56,419
senators and representatives to

1181
00:50:56,419 --> 00:50:57,954
come to this chambers and

1182
00:50:57,954 --> 00:50:59,389
present a tangible solutions to

1183
00:50:59,389 --> 00:51:02,325
address crime. Thank you. You,

1184
00:51:02,325 --> 00:51:15,572
Mr Garcia.

1185
00:51:15,572 --> 00:51:19,141
I'm William Biermann. On

1186
00:51:19,141 --> 00:51:20,443
September 5th after I left your

1187
00:51:20,443 --> 00:51:23,847
meeting. Councilor Bencomo said

1188
00:51:23,847 --> 00:51:25,982
. My comment about City Council

1189
00:51:25,982 --> 00:51:27,950
de funding a parade was a quote,

1190
00:51:27,950 --> 00:51:30,854
bold faced lie. But what I said

1191
00:51:30,854 --> 00:51:35,025
is true. In a letter from about

1192
00:51:35,025 --> 00:51:36,893
early 2021, the lost Cruces

1193
00:51:36,893 --> 00:51:38,261
Police Officers Association. I

1194
00:51:38,261 --> 00:51:42,465
told you. The last several

1195
00:51:42,465 --> 00:51:43,833
years, I've seen steady decline

1196
00:51:43,833 --> 00:51:45,735
in staffing levels, which have

1197
00:51:45,735 --> 00:51:48,471
cultivated culminated in an all

1198
00:51:48,471 --> 00:51:51,374
time love of 140 officers on

1199
00:51:51,374 --> 00:51:53,510
duty, even though the department

1200
00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:56,713
is authorized for 202 officers.

1201
00:51:56,713 --> 00:51:58,315
The letter said. Quote This

1202
00:51:58,315 --> 00:52:00,684
leaves the community largely on

1203
00:52:00,684 --> 00:52:03,853
patrolled and unprotected and

1204
00:52:03,853 --> 00:52:05,054
it's extremely hazardous to

1205
00:52:05,054 --> 00:52:08,357
officers. The letter stated the

1206
00:52:08,357 --> 00:52:10,293
percentage of the budget

1207
00:52:10,293 --> 00:52:11,261
allocated to public safety was

1208
00:52:11,261 --> 00:52:13,496
down almost 5% from fiscal year

1209
00:52:13,496 --> 00:52:18,034
2021. The letter said. Potential

1210
00:52:18,034 --> 00:52:20,136
recruits quickly leave the L.

1211
00:52:20,136 --> 00:52:22,138
CPD recruiting table when they

1212
00:52:22,138 --> 00:52:24,106
learn how far behind L CPD has

1213
00:52:24,106 --> 00:52:26,243
fallen in comparison to just

1214
00:52:26,243 --> 00:52:28,478
about every other agency. The

1215
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:30,981
city is simply not competitive.

1216
00:52:30,981 --> 00:52:35,118
So much for the letter. I have

1217
00:52:35,118 --> 00:52:36,853
here a position control count

1218
00:52:36,853 --> 00:52:41,090
from the adopted FY 22 budget.

1219
00:52:41,090 --> 00:52:42,692
It shows Police department

1220
00:52:42,692 --> 00:52:46,095
positions were reduced from 3 29

1221
00:52:46,095 --> 00:52:50,900
in fiscal 2018. 2 318 in the

1222
00:52:50,900 --> 00:52:53,103
adopted 2022 budget reduction of

1223
00:52:53,103 --> 00:52:57,073
11 positions. This is why the

1224
00:52:57,073 --> 00:52:58,675
total number of city employees

1225
00:52:58,675 --> 00:53:03,880
went up by 82 total of 1833,

1226
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,915
which is about 10 times the

1227
00:53:05,915 --> 00:53:09,151
number of sworn police But the

1228
00:53:09,151 --> 00:53:11,187
budget is n the same as what

1229
00:53:11,187 --> 00:53:12,522
actually happens. Budgeting

1230
00:53:12,522 --> 00:53:13,722
positions is not mean actually

1231
00:53:13,722 --> 00:53:16,760
filling them. Officials claim

1232
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,461
they increase the budget in

1233
00:53:18,461 --> 00:53:19,863
terms of money. That doesn't

1234
00:53:19,863 --> 00:53:21,497
mean they actually spent the

1235
00:53:21,497 --> 00:53:23,266
money and one Council meeting I

1236
00:53:23,266 --> 00:53:26,002
heard a reference to $5 million

1237
00:53:26,002 --> 00:53:28,371
in unspent salary account.

1238
00:53:28,371 --> 00:53:32,341
Finally Councilor Bencomo is on

1239
00:53:32,341 --> 00:53:35,278
video displaying a bar graph at

1240
00:53:35,278 --> 00:53:36,445
a council meeting on April 26

1241
00:53:36,445 --> 00:53:41,017
2021. The chart was entitled

1242
00:53:41,017 --> 00:53:43,786
Where Our Money goes, noting

1243
00:53:43,786 --> 00:53:45,155
that the bar for the police

1244
00:53:45,155 --> 00:53:46,990
department was the highest, she

1245
00:53:46,990 --> 00:53:50,660
commented, quote. You know that

1246
00:53:50,660 --> 00:53:51,894
for the police department to

1247
00:53:51,894 --> 00:53:53,496
have such a disproportionate

1248
00:53:53,496 --> 00:53:55,265
chunk of the budget to me feels

1249
00:53:55,265 --> 00:53:57,233
like we need to do some serious

1250
00:53:57,233 --> 00:53:58,300
reflection on the creation of

1251
00:53:58,300 --> 00:54:02,138
this budget. Since then, the

1252
00:54:02,138 --> 00:54:03,439
funding of the police has become

1253
00:54:03,439 --> 00:54:06,175
politically toxic in elections,

1254
00:54:06,175 --> 00:54:08,011
so lost Cruces is doing in about

1255
00:54:08,011 --> 00:54:10,647
faith and sending out news

1256
00:54:10,647 --> 00:54:11,747
releases a touting how you're

1257
00:54:11,747 --> 00:54:14,651
doing new hiring of police, but

1258
00:54:14,651 --> 00:54:16,686
the damage is already been done

1259
00:54:16,686 --> 00:54:18,454
. As crime is raging here.

1260
00:54:18,454 --> 00:54:22,359
That's all I have to say. German

1261
00:54:22,359 --> 00:54:25,361
. Is there anybody on rose seven

1262
00:54:25,361 --> 00:54:33,069
or eight? Anybody on this side?

1263
00:54:33,069 --> 00:54:34,437
If you want to speak and you're

1264
00:54:34,437 --> 00:54:36,272
in these last few rows, please

1265
00:54:36,272 --> 00:54:41,410
make your way down. Mayor Pro

1266
00:54:41,410 --> 00:54:42,646
TEM Council. My name is Laurie

1267
00:54:42,646 --> 00:54:47,016
English. For over 20 years I

1268
00:54:47,016 --> 00:54:48,785
have tried to get the city

1269
00:54:48,785 --> 00:54:49,886
councilors from both sides of

1270
00:54:49,886 --> 00:54:52,588
the aisle. To respond to the

1271
00:54:52,588 --> 00:54:54,591
lousy conditions of Stewards

1272
00:54:54,591 --> 00:54:57,560
Avenue between pay a portion

1273
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,228
Astoria and midway up on the

1274
00:54:59,228 --> 00:55:03,732
East Mesa. To physically see the

1275
00:55:03,732 --> 00:55:06,268
situation of that street. It

1276
00:55:06,268 --> 00:55:08,337
looks like it has leprosy, and

1277
00:55:08,337 --> 00:55:10,039
nobody's doing anything about it

1278
00:55:10,039 --> 00:55:12,175
. I had two previous Council

1279
00:55:12,175 --> 00:55:13,877
counselors from my district come

1280
00:55:13,877 --> 00:55:15,811
out and physically see the

1281
00:55:15,811 --> 00:55:18,681
condition. No action was taken.

1282
00:55:18,681 --> 00:55:20,516
I invited Councilor Corrine to

1283
00:55:20,516 --> 00:55:24,687
come out via email. And never

1284
00:55:24,687 --> 00:55:26,456
got a response. But I got got a

1285
00:55:26,456 --> 00:55:28,157
response, saying well, she

1286
00:55:28,157 --> 00:55:30,259
thinks the schedule according to

1287
00:55:30,259 --> 00:55:31,126
the streets department that it's

1288
00:55:31,126 --> 00:55:35,865
scheduled for 2024. First of all

1289
00:55:35,865 --> 00:55:38,201
right now, Midway Boulevard,

1290
00:55:38,201 --> 00:55:40,136
which is a street that's in the

1291
00:55:40,136 --> 00:55:42,705
same area. Is less heavily used

1292
00:55:42,705 --> 00:55:46,742
than stewards. By almost two

1293
00:55:46,742 --> 00:55:49,145
thirds the amount of traffic and

1294
00:55:49,145 --> 00:55:52,282
it's being totally resurfaced a

1295
00:55:52,282 --> 00:55:54,484
street the length of about five

1296
00:55:54,484 --> 00:55:55,584
blocks. That's not even used

1297
00:55:55,584 --> 00:55:59,122
that often. And the trucks that

1298
00:55:59,122 --> 00:56:01,291
are being used to carry out the

1299
00:56:01,291 --> 00:56:04,427
asphalt from the debris are the

1300
00:56:04,427 --> 00:56:06,329
heavy, heavy, heavy asphalt and

1301
00:56:06,329 --> 00:56:09,799
concrete trucks. That are not

1302
00:56:09,799 --> 00:56:11,867
only making a mud bog out of gas

1303
00:56:11,867 --> 00:56:13,669
line road, but they are

1304
00:56:13,669 --> 00:56:16,439
destroying and tearing up

1305
00:56:16,439 --> 00:56:19,976
Stewart's street again with no

1306
00:56:19,976 --> 00:56:24,380
compensation, no consideration.

1307
00:56:24,380 --> 00:56:25,781
Let's show you streets in the

1308
00:56:25,781 --> 00:56:27,283
city are being resurfaced almost

1309
00:56:27,283 --> 00:56:30,386
every month. A Stert's has

1310
00:56:30,386 --> 00:56:32,889
been remained as it is for the

1311
00:56:32,889 --> 00:56:35,091
23 years that I have lived here

1312
00:56:35,091 --> 00:56:36,326
. In fact, there are potholes

1313
00:56:36,326 --> 00:56:37,860
are filling the potholes,

1314
00:56:37,860 --> 00:56:39,295
potholes, and now those heavy

1315
00:56:39,295 --> 00:56:40,864
trucks are creating nothing but

1316
00:56:40,864 --> 00:56:45,768
massive potholes. Um. Still

1317
00:56:45,768 --> 00:56:47,003
looks like it still looks like

1318
00:56:47,003 --> 00:56:50,707
it's got leprosy. Ah and it's

1319
00:56:50,707 --> 00:56:52,708
making a bog like a shout out of

1320
00:56:52,708 --> 00:56:56,079
midway. The city's heavy trucks

1321
00:56:56,079 --> 00:56:57,881
and are already talked about the

1322
00:56:57,881 --> 00:57:01,216
entire street. Um Should be

1323
00:57:01,216 --> 00:57:03,319
resurfaced. Weeed l ci

1324
00:57:03,319 --> 00:57:06,422
councilors to deal more with

1325
00:57:06,422 --> 00:57:09,425
Infrastructure, crime, vandalism

1326
00:57:09,425 --> 00:57:11,561
and animal welfare than

1327
00:57:11,561 --> 00:57:13,128
disrespecting veterans and

1328
00:57:13,128 --> 00:57:16,031
changing street names out in

1329
00:57:16,031 --> 00:57:18,101
your communities and put

1330
00:57:18,101 --> 00:57:19,668
together some decent plans.

1331
00:57:19,668 --> 00:57:23,106
Don't go out there just Couple

1332
00:57:23,106 --> 00:57:24,574
of months before the campaign

1333
00:57:24,574 --> 00:57:26,709
and before the election, One or

1334
00:57:26,709 --> 00:57:28,811
two of you were running for

1335
00:57:28,811 --> 00:57:30,346
mayor. I find that laughable. I

1336
00:57:30,346 --> 00:57:32,682
mean, not no insult to any

1337
00:57:32,682 --> 00:57:34,784
individual on the city Council.

1338
00:57:34,784 --> 00:57:36,919
Um Still, you owe an apology to

1339
00:57:36,919 --> 00:57:40,489
the city. The veterans of the

1340
00:57:40,489 --> 00:57:42,191
city, the county and the state

1341
00:57:42,191 --> 00:57:44,360
of New Mexico for your bad

1342
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,228
treatment and dishonor and

1343
00:57:46,228 --> 00:57:47,896
disrespect concerning the

1344
00:57:47,896 --> 00:57:49,832

is Charles Winder and I've got

1359
00:58:36,345 --> 00:58:38,047
something that I think is a

1360
00:58:38,047 --> 00:58:40,215
dearie issue to all of us should

1361
00:58:40,215 --> 00:58:42,418
be. It's a unifying Issue, not a

1362
00:58:42,418 --> 00:58:45,054
divisive one. Unlike so many

1363
00:58:45,054 --> 00:58:46,189
things that you're presented

1364
00:58:46,189 --> 00:58:50,460
with, Unfortunately so, uh, This

00:58:50,460 --> 00:58:53,463

00:58:55,932 --> 00:58:56,933
about us Constitution. Of

1368
00:58:56,933 --> 00:59:00,903
course. Okay. And, uh, I don't

1369
00:59:00,903 --> 00:59:03,239
really know that information.

1370
00:59:03,239 --> 00:59:06,008
But it's public law. So let me

1371
00:59:06,008 --> 00:59:08,311
read from you. I need a little

1372
00:59:08,311 --> 00:59:10,446
bit of an aid here. My vision is

1373
00:59:10,446 --> 00:59:13,215
slipping on me. So let me see if

1374
00:59:13,215 --> 00:59:14,483
I can do this, too. And it's in

1375
00:59:14,483 --> 00:59:16,485
the back of this little booklet.

1376
00:59:16,485 --> 00:59:18,888
u caget it and read it for

1377
00:59:18,888 --> 00:59:19,756
yourself. You can have that.

1378
00:59:19,756 --> 00:59:21,391
That's a gift to you should say

1379
00:59:21,391 --> 00:59:22,624
gift because maybe that in

1380
00:59:22,624 --> 00:59:23,726
violation some of these laws but

1381
00:59:23,726 --> 00:59:25,394
anyway to commemorate Uh,

00:59:29,832 --> 00:59:31,567
the Constitution. United States

1384
00:59:31,567 --> 00:59:32,802
Congress has designated

1385
00:59:32,802 --> 00:59:35,838
September 17th of each year as

1386
00:59:35,838 --> 00:59:38,174
Constitution Day and September

1387
00:59:38,174 --> 00:59:41,043

1388
00:59:41,043 --> 00:59:43,913
year's constitution Week in 2004

1389
00:59:43,913 --> 00:59:48,685
public law, 100-447. Section 111

1390
00:59:48,685 --> 00:59:49,686
was passed, requiring the

1391
00:59:49,686 --> 00:59:54,624
folling. Education institution

1392
00:59:54,624 --> 00:59:56,292
that receives federal funds. For

1393
00:59:56,292 --> 00:59:57,693
a fiscal year, She'll hold an

1394
00:59:57,693 --> 00:59:59,729

served by the education

1398
01:00:05,168 --> 01:00:06,635
institution. I think most of all

1399
01:00:06,635 --> 01:00:09,005
of us have kids or grandkids and

1400
01:00:09,005 --> 01:00:09,705
area this really is very germane

1401
01:00:09,705 --> 01:00:10,939
to them. Furthermore it says,

1402
01:00:10,939 --> 01:00:15,678
Quote each, Um Federal agency or

1403
01:00:15,678 --> 01:00:18,181
department. Shell shell again No

01:00:18,181 --> 01:00:19,816

1406
01:00:21,217 --> 01:00:22,719

01:00:22,719 --> 01:00:24,487
States Constitution to each

1408
01:00:24,487 --> 01:00:27,957
employee on September78 year,

1409
01:00:27,957 --> 01:00:29,492
George worse, and I think most

1410
01:00:29,492 --> 01:00:31,761
of you remember that gentleman

1411
01:00:31,761 --> 01:00:34,263
says a price quote. A primary

1412
01:00:34,263 --> 01:00:35,598
object should be the education

1413
01:00:35,598 --> 01:00:37,733
of our youth and the science of

1414
01:00:37,733 --> 01:00:39,869
government. And every plum Bic,

1415
01:00:39,869 --> 01:00:41,103
not a democracy. We don't have a

1416
01:00:41,103 --> 01:00:42,972
democracy. Very clear in the

1417
01:00:42,972 --> 01:00:44,373
Constitution. There is no word

1418
01:00:44,373 --> 01:00:47,477
democracy and that the Republic

1419
01:00:47,477 --> 01:00:49,278
that species of knowledge can be

1420
01:00:49,278 --> 01:00:51,581
equally important, but Species

1421
01:00:51,581 --> 01:00:56,652
line should be equally important

1422
01:00:56,652 --> 01:00:58,254
counicating it to thosesing than

1423
01:00:58,254 --> 01:01:00,223

01:01:00,223 --> 01:01:01,490
guardians of the liberties of

1425
01:01:01,490 --> 01:01:05,862
our country. Uh I have no

1426
01:01:05,862 --> 01:01:07,730
hesitation. I'm a very proud

1427
01:01:07,730 --> 01:01:09,499
American proud that we live in

1428
01:01:09,499 --> 01:01:11,000
this exceptional country where

1429
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,468
we can have these discussions

1430
01:01:12,468 --> 01:01:14,370
debates, but unfortunately we're

1431
01:01:14,370 --> 01:01:16,372
losing so much of this. Why

1432
01:01:16,372 --> 01:01:17,874
Because we don't stay our

1433
01:01:17,874 --> 01:01:20,042

1434
01:01:20,042 --> 01:01:21,210

1435
01:01:21,210 --> 01:01:23,011

1438
01:01:26,282 --> 01:01:28,084

1453
01:02:04,220 --> 01:02:06,088

almost daily occurrences with

1461
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,003
us? The definition of insanity

1462
01:02:21,003 --> 01:02:22,938

Hernandez, purchasing manager.

1531
01:05:56,152 --> 01:05:58,254
Before you as a resolution to

1532
01:05:58,254 --> 01:05:59,288
approve our Microsoft Enterprise

1533
01:05:59,288 --> 01:06:05,694
Agreement renewal. The I T

1534
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:06,695
department has an enterprise

1535
01:06:06,695 --> 01:06:08,664
agreement with Microsoft. This

1536
01:06:08,664 --> 01:06:10,199
includes our desktop operating

1537
01:06:10,199 --> 01:06:13,102
systems are security licensing,

1538
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:13,602
security, licensing and

1539
01:06:13,602 --> 01:06:19,341
Microsoft office software. The

1540
01:06:19,341 --> 01:06:22,445
agreement provides us with a

1541
01:06:22,445 --> 01:06:24,913
purchasing. And also includes

1542
01:06:24,913 --> 01:06:25,881
regular updates from these

1543
01:06:25,881 --> 01:06:29,718
Microsoft products. The

1544
01:06:29,718 --> 01:06:31,353
agreement expes and must be

1545
01:06:31,353 --> 01:06:33,356
renewed every six years. And

1546
01:06:33,356 --> 01:06:34,490
during that time the pricing is

1547
01:06:34,490 --> 01:06:37,560
locked in for those years.

1548
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:38,594
Annual renewal. Determines of

1549
01:06:38,594 --> 01:06:39,094
additional licensing is

1550
01:06:39,094 --> 01:06:44,366
required. At this time

1551
01:06:44,366 --> 01:06:45,400
Purchasing recommends that we

1552
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,303
contract with CD W G via a C E s

1553
01:06:48,303 --> 01:06:51,606
contract. The contract number is

1554
01:06:51,606 --> 01:06:57,813
2022-01 Dash A G 0 1 dash A L L

1555
01:06:57,813 --> 01:06:58,681
And we're asking for an

1556
01:06:58,681 --> 01:07:00,282
indefinite cost indefinite

1557
01:07:00,282 --> 01:07:02,651
quantity and it would be subject

1558
01:07:02,651 --> 01:07:03,918
to annual renewal and arove

1559
01:07:03,918 --> 01:07:08,023
budget appropriations. And with

1560
01:07:08,023 --> 01:07:09,324
that these are your Council

1561
01:07:09,324 --> 01:07:11,026
options and I stand for

1562
01:07:11,026 --> 01:07:13,696
questions. Cancer requiring

1563
01:07:13,696 --> 01:07:15,397
Councilor plotters. I have a

1564
01:07:15,397 --> 01:07:17,600
question that 100% in just thank

1565
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,735
you for presenting if we vote No

1566
01:07:19,735 --> 01:07:22,071
. Will it bring the entire teams

1567
01:07:22,071 --> 01:07:22,938
infrastructure down and never

1568
01:07:22,938 --> 01:07:24,707
make us attended teams meeting

1569
01:07:24,707 --> 01:07:27,342
again? Is there any chance of

1570
01:07:27,342 --> 01:07:30,145
that? Okay Thank you. I

1571
01:07:30,145 --> 01:07:34,550
appreciate your presentation.

1572
01:07:34,550 --> 01:07:35,551
Thank you. Councilor. Korean

1573
01:07:35,551 --> 01:07:41,557
Councilor flutters. Um. Why Why

1574
01:07:41,557 --> 01:07:42,824
would we enter into an

1575
01:07:42,824 --> 01:07:45,360
agreement? Um For an indefinite

1576
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:50,065
cost. I sure as heck wouldn't

1577
01:07:50,065 --> 01:07:52,734
Why? I mean, is that a term of

1578
01:07:52,734 --> 01:07:56,005
art that used in such a contract

1579
01:07:56,005 --> 01:07:57,839
? We have done that before it.

1580
01:07:57,839 --> 01:07:59,909
We don't know how many licenses

1581
01:07:59,909 --> 01:08:01,143
will need in the future going

1582
01:08:01,143 --> 01:08:05,447
forward. But the But it's like a

1583
01:08:05,447 --> 01:08:07,950
carte blanche. It's like giving

1584
01:08:07,950 --> 01:08:12,721
you a blank check. Um So. So

1585
01:08:12,721 --> 01:08:14,557
it's been done in the past, so

1586
01:08:14,557 --> 01:08:15,724
we continue to do I'm just

1587
01:08:15,724 --> 01:08:20,963
curious, and I Um We have done

1588
01:08:20,963 --> 01:08:22,231
it in the indefinite quantity

1589
01:08:22,231 --> 01:08:24,666
and definite cost subject to

1590
01:08:24,666 --> 01:08:28,437
annual renewal's. So this being

1591
01:08:28,437 --> 01:08:30,339
subject to annual renewal's.

1592
01:08:30,339 --> 01:08:31,539
Does that mean that we would

1593
01:08:31,539 --> 01:08:33,241
review the cost and then? Um And

1594
01:08:33,241 --> 01:08:38,180
then. Yeah, because it also

1595
01:08:38,180 --> 01:08:41,217
says, uh Resolution approving

1596
01:08:41,217 --> 01:08:43,586
the annual renewal operative

1597
01:08:43,586 --> 01:08:46,021
wordheres annual, so there

1598
01:08:46,021 --> 01:08:47,356
has to be not just a renewal,

1599
01:08:47,356 --> 01:08:50,925
but a review. And so if we were

1600
01:08:50,925 --> 01:08:53,929
to vote yes, on this, um this

1601
01:08:53,929 --> 01:08:55,063
this resolution would be subject

1602
01:08:55,063 --> 01:09:00,102
to Um well, a straight I would

1603
01:09:00,102 --> 01:09:01,804
Expected to be strict scrutiny

1604
01:09:01,804 --> 01:09:04,306
and so far as reviewing the

1605
01:09:04,306 --> 01:09:06,108
terms and the prices and all

1606
01:09:06,108 --> 01:09:08,210
that we do review the terms

1607
01:09:08,210 --> 01:09:10,211
every year. And the contract

1608
01:09:10,211 --> 01:09:11,379
that we're going to use. It

1609
01:09:11,379 --> 01:09:13,449
expires in 2026. So at that

1610
01:09:13,449 --> 01:09:14,983
time, we would have to either

1611
01:09:14,983 --> 01:09:15,584
procure another contract, or,

1612
01:09:15,584 --> 01:09:20,589
um, Take one of our own. And so

1613
01:09:20,589 --> 01:09:22,925
what happens if, um the cost

1614
01:09:22,925 --> 01:09:25,828
become exorbitant? And we know

1615
01:09:25,828 --> 01:09:29,431
of another vendor who that Would

1616
01:09:29,431 --> 01:09:31,467
be a better price for the same.

1617
01:09:31,467 --> 01:09:37,940
For the same product. I remember

1618
01:09:37,940 --> 01:09:39,741
attending if I may. Councilor

1619
01:09:39,741 --> 01:09:42,778
blood is Mr Pillay has Mr Pillay

1620
01:09:42,778 --> 01:09:46,014
has a before and I'm sure Wraps

1621
01:09:46,014 --> 01:09:50,686
up here to set some, like Just

1622
01:09:50,686 --> 01:09:53,689
This this particular licenses.

1623
01:09:53,689 --> 01:09:55,691
We We don't know. And so we have

1624
01:09:55,691 --> 01:09:58,794
to We have to enter into a

1625
01:09:58,794 --> 01:10:00,029
contract. However there is an

1626
01:10:00,029 --> 01:10:01,230
appropriation throughout the

1627
01:10:01,230 --> 01:10:03,799
budget process. That said that

1628
01:10:03,799 --> 01:10:05,634
these amounts are set. We can't

1629
01:10:05,634 --> 01:10:07,268
go above Beyond that, unless we

1630
01:10:07,268 --> 01:10:10,405
bring it forward. And so there's

1631
01:10:10,405 --> 01:10:11,773
a certain amount for these

1632
01:10:11,773 --> 01:10:13,375
licenses. But this is the

1633
01:10:13,375 --> 01:10:14,442
contract that's That's needed in

1634
01:10:14,442 --> 01:10:18,080
order for us to receive them. I

1635
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:19,281
don't know if you have any

1636
01:10:19,281 --> 01:10:21,750
additional Anything. In addition

1637
01:10:21,750 --> 01:10:24,153
to Robert, making up Making your

1638
01:10:24,153 --> 01:10:26,321
way up here. So I guess if your

1639
01:10:26,321 --> 01:10:30,926
concern is The blank check. That

1640
01:10:30,926 --> 01:10:32,361
that cap is at the budget

1641
01:10:32,361 --> 01:10:32,861
appropriation for these

1642
01:10:32,861 --> 01:10:38,767
licenses. Mr Pillay is that in

1643
01:10:38,767 --> 01:10:40,602
the contract and the agreement

1644
01:10:40,602 --> 01:10:42,804
with the vendor You know, I'd

1645
01:10:42,804 --> 01:10:45,274
have to look at the contract

1646
01:10:45,274 --> 01:10:46,108
subject to what our

1647
01:10:46,108 --> 01:10:47,609
appropriations are. I mean, do

1648
01:10:47,609 --> 01:10:49,344
they understand that? Yes,

1649
01:10:49,344 --> 01:10:53,582
Councilor, So we determine We

1650
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:54,782
determine if we can. We don't

1651
01:10:54,782 --> 01:10:55,950
have to purchase a certain

1652
01:10:55,950 --> 01:10:57,586
amount. We determine how many

1653
01:10:57,586 --> 01:11:00,622
licenses were Going to need and

1654
01:11:00,622 --> 01:11:01,923
again, it's determined by Our

1655
01:11:01,923 --> 01:11:05,460
budget sets that cab. And so if

1656
01:11:05,460 --> 01:11:07,629
we are going beyond our budget

1657
01:11:07,629 --> 01:11:09,832
line item We certainly have to

1658
01:11:09,832 --> 01:11:13,034
come back for an amendment. For

1659
01:11:13,034 --> 01:11:15,136
that, So there's a vendor

1660
01:11:15,136 --> 01:11:16,705
understand that like say, for

1661
01:11:16,705 --> 01:11:18,741
example, we went bankrupt. Would

1662
01:11:18,741 --> 01:11:19,908
we still be bound by by the

1663
01:11:19,908 --> 01:11:23,845
terms of this contract? I mean,

1664
01:11:23,845 --> 01:11:24,980
that just just, you know,

1665
01:11:24,980 --> 01:11:28,517
extreme, but just just because I

1666
01:11:28,517 --> 01:11:33,021
I'm just wondering, I mean, I

1667
01:11:33,021 --> 01:11:34,390
have to look at the contract

1668
01:11:34,390 --> 01:11:35,524
Councilor, but I'm going to show

1669
01:11:35,524 --> 01:11:37,159
you we wouldn't  bou.

1670
01:11:37,159 --> 01:11:39,561
Correct if you have any robbed l

1671
01:11:39,561 --> 01:11:41,496
plane I t director Councilor,

1672
01:11:41,496 --> 01:11:43,399
Flores and Mayor Pro TEM and

1673
01:11:43,399 --> 01:11:47,836
Council. Um if. If there were a

1674
01:11:47,836 --> 01:11:49,371
particular situation like this

1675
01:11:49,371 --> 01:11:50,939
at the city went out of, you

1676
01:11:50,939 --> 01:11:52,374
know, went bankrupt at the at

1677
01:11:52,374 --> 01:11:53,742
the next year. Microsoft

1678
01:11:53,742 --> 01:11:55,944
understands that we wouldn't be

1679
01:11:55,944 --> 01:11:58,013
able to get approval for that

1680
01:11:58,013 --> 01:11:58,680
purchase, in which case we would

1681
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,548
not have to purchase it. So the

1682
01:12:00,548 --> 01:12:03,485
agreement isn't binding. Over

1683
01:12:03,485 --> 01:12:05,854
the over the course of several

1684
01:12:05,854 --> 01:12:08,190
years. No only for this

1685
01:12:08,190 --> 01:12:09,625
particular course years. I don't

1686
01:12:09,625 --> 01:12:10,826
remember the exact wording. But

1687
01:12:10,826 --> 01:12:12,394
when you have multiple years

1688
01:12:12,394 --> 01:12:13,528
where you're saying you're going

1689
01:12:13,528 --> 01:12:14,229
to produce something, But

1690
01:12:14,229 --> 01:12:16,031
there's I don't remember the

1691
01:12:16,031 --> 01:12:18,133
exact term, but they're the term

1692
01:12:18,133 --> 01:12:19,334
where we don't have to continue

1693
01:12:19,334 --> 01:12:20,803
to purchase that. You remember

1694
01:12:20,803 --> 01:12:23,472
No, the city can opt out. Every

1695
01:12:23,472 --> 01:12:25,507
year. We're going to pay the

1696
01:12:25,507 --> 01:12:26,708
first year and then if we don't

1697
01:12:26,708 --> 01:12:29,177
have enough budget next year, we

1698
01:12:29,177 --> 01:12:29,778
hoose a different route. OK,

1699
01:12:29,778 --> 01:12:31,379
ultimately, the city uh,

1700
01:12:31,379 --> 01:12:32,914
purchasing section works with

1701
01:12:32,914 --> 01:12:35,951
the end user for the best cost

1702
01:12:35,951 --> 01:12:37,919
for the best item that we need.

1703
01:12:37,919 --> 01:12:38,921
Okay well, that definitely

1704
01:12:38,921 --> 01:12:40,688
allays my fears. Thank you very

1705
01:12:40,688 --> 01:12:42,657
much. Thank you. Thank you, Mr

1706
01:12:42,657 --> 01:12:47,796
Pena. Thank you. Um, I was

1707
01:12:47,796 --> 01:12:49,364
hoping that I'd have a chance to

1708
01:12:49,364 --> 01:12:52,801
look at the resolution.

1709
01:12:52,801 --> 01:12:54,970
Specifically, um. And give me a

1710
01:12:54,970 --> 01:12:57,138
moment. I read it earlier, but I

1711
01:12:57,138 --> 01:13:00,008
don't remember One of the things

1712
01:13:00,008 --> 01:13:00,776
that I've had. It gives. It does

1713
01:13:00,776 --> 01:13:02,477
give me pause to say that

1714
01:13:02,477 --> 01:13:05,413
indefinitely with no criteria.

1715
01:13:05,413 --> 01:13:08,250
You know, the resolution doesn't

1716
01:13:08,250 --> 01:13:10,118
state at all the amounts what

1717
01:13:10,118 --> 01:13:12,987
it's for, Um, even in you know,

1718
01:13:12,987 --> 01:13:14,356
in the event, it's too You know,

1719
01:13:14,356 --> 01:13:19,728
um Be additional amounts. Then

1720
01:13:19,728 --> 01:13:22,630
we would come back to council.

1721
01:13:22,630 --> 01:13:26,834
Um and so Equal there. This is

1722
01:13:26,834 --> 01:13:28,370
like the second or third time.

1723
01:13:28,370 --> 01:13:30,172
It's come like this with that

1724
01:13:30,172 --> 01:13:31,539
kind of language, and it does

1725
01:13:31,539 --> 01:13:34,643
give me pause. And I'm hopeful

1726
01:13:34,643 --> 01:13:38,547
that staff as their, um.

1727
01:13:38,547 --> 01:13:40,649
Developing these resolutions

1728
01:13:40,649 --> 01:13:44,486
that they state the amounts and

1729
01:13:44,486 --> 01:13:50,058
even if there's some, you know,

1730
01:13:50,058 --> 01:13:51,226
ceain ount. Then it would be

1731
01:13:51,226 --> 01:13:53,928
brought back. Um Because we

1732
01:13:53,928 --> 01:13:54,862
don't know what's happening in

1733
01:13:54,862 --> 01:13:56,265
procurement or whatever. But

1734
01:13:56,265 --> 01:13:58,400
this is probably the third time

1735
01:13:58,400 --> 01:13:59,501
that I read something like that,

1736
01:13:59,501 --> 01:14:01,470
and I want to have more

1737
01:14:01,470 --> 01:14:02,437
information. But there is an

1738
01:14:02,437 --> 01:14:03,772
information now. I'm looking

1739
01:14:03,772 --> 01:14:05,140
through other things you're

1740
01:14:05,140 --> 01:14:06,241
sending right because there's

1741
01:14:06,241 --> 01:14:08,076
several attachments there,

1742
01:14:08,076 --> 01:14:09,845
reading hundreds of pages of

1743
01:14:09,845 --> 01:14:11,980
document. It just makes it

1744
01:14:11,980 --> 01:14:13,014
really difficult. So in the

1745
01:14:13,014 --> 01:14:14,883
future, if you could add

1746
01:14:14,883 --> 01:14:15,917
something like that I think it

1747
01:14:15,917 --> 01:14:19,821
would satisfy me. Thank you,

1748
01:14:19,821 --> 01:14:20,889
Mayor. Pretend we will. Thank

1749
01:14:20,889 --> 01:14:23,958
you. Okay. Any other Public

1750
01:14:23,958 --> 01:14:27,429
comment. Yes, ma'am. Please make

1751
01:14:27,429 --> 01:14:31,566
your way to the To the Podium

1752
01:14:31,566 --> 01:14:41,743
and state your name. My name is

1753
01:14:41,743 --> 01:14:44,613
Laurie English. Um I live in the

1754
01:14:44,613 --> 01:14:46,648
city and it's been my experience

1755
01:14:46,648 --> 01:14:49,885
as a previous business owner. Uh

1756
01:14:49,885 --> 01:14:52,120
in other states that if it's not

1757
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:53,188
stated clearly, if the word

1758
01:14:53,188 --> 01:14:57,326
indefinite or Future shows up.

1759
01:14:57,326 --> 01:15:00,429
We are not to accept that word.

1760
01:15:00,429 --> 01:15:02,631
It should be tied in and you

1761
01:15:02,631 --> 01:15:04,198
ladies obviously are aware of

1762
01:15:04,198 --> 01:15:05,667
that fact that indefinite means

1763
01:15:05,667 --> 01:15:10,105
X infinity. I'm not Buzz

1764
01:15:10,105 --> 01:15:11,640
Lightyear, and I'm not an

1765
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,207
attorney by any stretch, but if

1766
01:15:13,207 --> 01:15:15,077
something is infinite, that

1767
01:15:15,077 --> 01:15:17,646
means it can go on and go on and

1768
01:15:17,646 --> 01:15:20,082
go on and they're saying they're

1769
01:15:20,082 --> 01:15:21,683
giving us their word that we

1770
01:15:21,683 --> 01:15:23,751
have the right to do this and we

1771
01:15:23,751 --> 01:15:25,153
have the right to do that, if

1772
01:15:25,153 --> 01:15:27,121
it's not expressly written in

1773
01:15:27,121 --> 01:15:31,827
the document. Iwill not hold

1774
01:15:31,827 --> 01:15:33,327
up in court. I don't care what

1775
01:15:33,327 --> 01:15:34,562
court it is whether they go

1776
01:15:34,562 --> 01:15:35,497
bankrupt or whether we go

1777
01:15:35,497 --> 01:15:37,833
bankrupt. The bottom line is

1778
01:15:37,833 --> 01:15:39,034
we're still responsible if we

1779
01:15:39,034 --> 01:15:41,903
accept the word indefinite.

1780
01:15:41,903 --> 01:15:43,939
Thank you for your time. And

1781
01:15:43,939 --> 01:15:45,140
your consideration. Thank you.

1782
01:15:45,140 --> 01:15:46,308

Hello Good afternoon, everyone,

1798
01:16:34,622 --> 01:16:37,592
Uh Mayor Pro TEM membersounc

1799
01:16:37,592 --> 01:16:39,827
Natalie Green for the record the

1800
01:16:39,827 --> 01:16:42,097
resolution before you is a land

1801
01:16:42,097 --> 01:16:43,031
acquisition, it would be a

1802
01:16:43,031 --> 01:16:45,099
purchase of property located at

1803
01:16:45,099 --> 01:16:48,603
9 15 and 9 21 West Amador. The

1804
01:16:48,603 --> 01:16:49,604
site description. It's

1805
01:16:49,604 --> 01:16:52,574
approximately one acre parcel or

1806
01:16:52,574 --> 01:16:54,609
it's two parcels that make up

1807
01:16:54,609 --> 01:16:56,745
about an acre also includes a

1808
01:16:56,745 --> 01:16:58,513
500 square foot metal industrial

1809
01:16:58,513 --> 01:16:59,981
building. And again it's address

1810
01:16:59,981 --> 01:17:02,784
off of Amador. It is adjacent to

1811
01:17:02,784 --> 01:17:04,252
the Macia Valley Community

1812
01:17:04,252 --> 01:17:06,254
campus, and it was identified as

1813
01:17:06,254 --> 01:17:06,854
a potential acquisition piece

1814
01:17:06,854 --> 01:17:10,959
during the Master plan adoption

1815
01:17:10,959 --> 01:17:13,928
. This is the vicinity map. The

1816
01:17:13,928 --> 01:17:15,630
subject parcels are in pink. And

1817
01:17:15,630 --> 01:17:16,765
then the community hoped

1818
01:17:16,765 --> 01:17:21,203
campuses labeled in blue. This

1819
01:17:21,203 --> 01:17:24,172
is just a visual of the property

1820
01:17:24,172 --> 01:17:26,208
facing west so this would be

1821
01:17:26,208 --> 01:17:27,843
from the property facing into

1822
01:17:27,843 --> 01:17:29,311
the Macia Valley community Hope

1823
01:17:29,311 --> 01:17:31,079
driveway and again, you can see

1824
01:17:31,079 --> 01:17:33,115
that 5000 square foot industrial

1825
01:17:33,115 --> 01:17:35,217
building and then this is from

1826
01:17:35,217 --> 01:17:39,154
the driveway facing East. This

1827
01:17:39,154 --> 01:17:40,688
is the master plan that was

1828
01:17:40,688 --> 01:17:43,592
adopted in 2002 again. That

1829
01:17:43,592 --> 01:17:45,827
parca

1830
01:17:45,827 --> 01:17:47,428
potential acquisition site, and

1831
01:17:47,428 --> 01:17:49,598
it would improve the overall

1832
01:17:49,598 --> 01:17:51,066
flow of the campus increase

1833
01:17:51,066 --> 01:17:53,235
parking. And then it would allow

1834
01:17:53,235 --> 01:17:54,969
. Um the continued expansion of

1835
01:17:54,969 --> 01:17:59,507
the other buildings. The

1836
01:17:59,507 --> 01:18:01,009
proposed terms of the purchase.

1837
01:18:01,009 --> 01:18:02,544
We did do two appraisals. The

1838
01:18:02,544 --> 01:18:04,645
first came back at 4 35, and the

1839
01:18:04,645 --> 01:18:07,048
second came back at 4 37 they

1840
01:18:07,048 --> 01:18:09,317
negotiated price with the seller

1841
01:18:09,317 --> 01:18:10,518
is 435,000, with US splitting

1842
01:18:10,518 --> 01:18:13,688
closing costs. And the benefits

1843
01:18:13,688 --> 01:18:14,822
of this purchases that it would

1844
01:18:14,822 --> 01:18:16,224
align with the city's master

1845
01:18:16,224 --> 01:18:17,859
plan and the goals for expansion

1846
01:18:17,859 --> 01:18:19,795
of the Messiah Valley community

1847
01:18:19,795 --> 01:18:20,828
hope and also aligns with our

1848
01:18:20,828 --> 01:18:22,631
strategic goals elevate and the

1849
01:18:22,631 --> 01:18:25,400
city's consolidated plan. It

1850
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:27,502
does include budget adjustment

1851
01:18:27,502 --> 01:18:29,137
to cover the cost of the

1852
01:18:29,137 --> 01:18:31,539
acquisition and closing, so

1853
01:18:31,539 --> 01:18:32,774
you'll notice that dollar amount

1854
01:18:32,774 --> 01:18:35,476
is a little bit different. And

1855
01:18:35,476 --> 01:18:36,611
that's because it includes the

1856
01:18:36,611 --> 01:18:40,281
closing costs. And then you have

1857
01:18:40,281 --> 01:18:41,216
your standard Council options

1858
01:18:41,216 --> 01:18:43,185
and we'll stand for questions.

1859
01:18:43,185 --> 01:18:44,252

1860
01:18:44,252 --> 01:18:46,654

just recently moved into the new

space at horse and Hound. Those

1899
01:20:13,942 --> 01:20:15,009
numbers should be going up

1900
01:20:15,009 --> 01:20:17,612
dramatically. And this

1901
01:20:17,612 --> 01:20:19,247

for $200,000 Grant, which they

1911
01:20:38,566 --> 01:20:39,800
have received, so this will be a

1912
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:43,004
$400,000 project. And this will

1913
01:20:43,004 --> 01:20:45,040
greatly decrease utility bills

1914
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:50,145
for the agencies on campus. And

1915
01:20:50,145 --> 01:20:51,746

01:20:58,586 --> 01:21:00,488
will be parking lot shade

amazing. Um what our town has to

1949
01:22:19,900 --> 01:22:23,905
offer with public art. And just

1950
01:22:23,905 --> 01:22:25,407
the uniqueness of each

1951
01:22:25,407 --> 01:22:26,574
neighborhood, So it was really

1952
01:22:26,574 --> 01:22:28,142
appreciative. And I thank chief

1953
01:22:28,142 --> 01:22:30,045
story and Officer Clement for

1954
01:22:30,045 --> 01:22:32,147
Monitoring traffic. It made me

1955
01:22:32,147 --> 01:22:33,614
feel very safe and so appreciate

1956
01:22:33,614 --> 01:22:43,958
that, Um We have, um. Some work

1957
01:22:43,958 --> 01:22:44,626
paicularly in the urban in the

1958
01:22:44,626 --> 01:22:48,596
inner inner city and Um, it's

1959
01:22:48,596 --> 01:22:51,065
something that we continue to

1960
01:22:51,065 --> 01:22:53,435
look at with our public works

1961
01:22:53,435 --> 01:22:54,668
and our street management or

1962
01:22:54,668 --> 01:22:56,938
payment management program. And

1963
01:22:56,938 --> 01:22:58,439
so I'm I'm appreciative of that

1964
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:02,576
program. Um But you know, trying

1965
01:23:02,576 --> 01:23:04,478
to meet the needs and the

1966
01:23:04,478 --> 01:23:05,980
demands of the entire city makes

1967
01:23:05,980 --> 01:23:08,750
it difficult. So, um I'll have

1968
01:23:08,750 --> 01:23:10,151
some conversations equal with

1969
01:23:10,151 --> 01:23:11,886
you about some specific areas

1970
01:23:11,886 --> 01:23:13,621
that I think really need some

1971
01:23:13,621 --> 01:23:15,557
attention and district one and

1972
01:23:15,557 --> 01:23:18,593
other We kind of ayed in that

1973
01:23:18,593 --> 01:23:20,261
area. But um, I appreciate that

1974
01:23:20,261 --> 01:23:30,037
the opportunity Um. I do want to

1975
01:23:30,037 --> 01:23:32,674
address the issues that were

1976
01:23:32,674 --> 01:23:34,509
brought to our attention about G

1977
01:23:34,509 --> 01:23:38,012
B a Um, I believe wholeheartedly

1978
01:23:38,012 --> 01:23:39,346
in this program and there is an

1979
01:23:39,346 --> 01:23:43,784
opportunity. To, um. To seek

1980
01:23:43,784 --> 01:23:46,054
funding additional funding

1981
01:23:46,054 --> 01:23:48,856
through a mayor's G B. I UM,

1982
01:23:48,856 --> 01:23:51,159
task force or board nationally

1983
01:23:51,159 --> 01:23:52,860
that I think is a great

1984
01:23:52,860 --> 01:23:56,331
opportunity there. The money is

1985
01:23:56,331 --> 01:23:57,232
funneled through Community

1986
01:23:57,232 --> 01:23:59,433
Foundation, and several of our

1987
01:23:59,433 --> 01:24:00,435
nonprofits are working through

1988
01:24:00,435 --> 01:24:04,405
the variety of issues. Um I do

1989
01:24:04,405 --> 01:24:07,141
want to say that there was a

1990
01:24:07,141 --> 01:24:08,810
pilot project in Hatch that just

1991
01:24:08,810 --> 01:24:11,846
yielded great great outcomes and

1992
01:24:11,846 --> 01:24:13,314
if we're serious about reducing

1993
01:24:13,314 --> 01:24:15,817
poverty, this is one way to do

1994
01:24:15,817 --> 01:24:17,218
it. Is that the only way?

1995
01:24:17,218 --> 01:24:18,286
Absolutely not. But it's one of

1996
01:24:18,286 --> 01:24:20,554
the ways and I stand by my vote.

1997
01:24:20,554 --> 01:24:26,127
Um.nd as a matter of fact,

1998
01:24:26,127 --> 01:24:30,665
Friday evening, we get to view a

1999
01:24:30,665 --> 01:24:34,068
screening related to, um family

2000
01:24:34,068 --> 01:24:36,070
prosperity. And I invite the

2001
01:24:36,070 --> 01:24:40,108
public. Um to that to that, um,

2002
01:24:40,108 --> 01:24:42,910
screening it'll be done at It

2003
01:24:42,910 --> 01:24:44,145
would be showing at the farm and

2004
01:24:44,145 --> 01:24:45,446
ranch and I believe it's six PM

2005
01:24:45,446 --> 01:24:47,782
I'm looking at Councilor.

2006
01:24:47,782 --> 01:24:49,951
Bencomo And so I'm looking

2007
01:24:49,951 --> 01:24:52,420
forward to hearing more about

2008
01:24:52,420 --> 01:24:54,722
the programming and nationally

2009
01:24:54,722 --> 01:24:57,759
what it's doing for particularly

2010
01:24:57,759 --> 01:24:59,460
people, lifting them up and out

2011
01:24:59,460 --> 01:25:01,963
of poverty. And with that, I'll

2012
01:25:01,963 --> 01:25:05,132
turn it over to Councilor

2013
01:25:05,132 --> 01:25:07,702
Flores. Thank you, Madam Chair.

2014
01:25:07,702 --> 01:25:12,807
Um I, um. The first of all the

2015
01:25:12,807 --> 01:25:15,509
funds that are being used for

2016
01:25:15,509 --> 01:25:17,311
that, G B I and it's temporary.

2017
01:25:17,311 --> 01:25:19,981
I think 18 limited to 18 months

2018
01:25:19,981 --> 01:25:22,884
are from the AARP. The money the

2019
01:25:22,884 --> 01:25:24,218
money that was issued to cities

2020
01:25:24,218 --> 01:25:27,822
to use, Um Ah, at their

2021
01:25:27,822 --> 01:25:30,191
discretion, so long as you know

2022
01:25:30,191 --> 01:25:32,026
, fell within certain parameters

2023
01:25:32,026 --> 01:25:34,495
and guidelines I personally am

2024
01:25:34,495 --> 01:25:36,731
against guaranteed basic income

2025
01:25:36,731 --> 01:25:40,167
. Um it was tried, uh, in In

2026
01:25:40,167 --> 01:25:45,039
Fresno, California. And, uh, Hmm

2027
01:25:45,039 --> 01:25:47,976
. It wasn't six successful and

2028
01:25:47,976 --> 01:25:49,610
no, it was not. In fact, the

2029
01:25:49,610 --> 01:25:52,646
mayor was booted out and was not

2030
01:25:52,646 --> 01:25:54,582
re elected. It was not

2031
01:25:54,582 --> 01:25:57,719
successful. What you say It was

2032
01:25:57,719 --> 01:25:59,320
depending on how you do your

2033
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:01,923
arithmetic. It didn't and I

2034
01:26:01,923 --> 01:26:03,958
don't want to get into a debate.

2035
01:26:03,958 --> 01:26:05,893
All I ow is that Um The there

2036
01:26:05,893 --> 01:26:10,999
was. One This is an 18 month

2037
01:26:10,999 --> 01:26:13,067
project and I doubt very much it

2038
01:26:13,067 --> 01:26:14,969
will be refunded. Um because I

2039
01:26:14,969 --> 01:26:16,904
don't think we're going to see

2040
01:26:16,904 --> 01:26:18,740
outcomes in 18 months. If this

2041
01:26:18,740 --> 01:26:21,509
was an ongoing if it was maybe,

2042
01:26:21,509 --> 01:26:24,479
um, uh, multibillionaire who

2043
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,680
wanted to try something out? And

2044
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:28,883
could you know someone like Elon

2045
01:26:28,883 --> 01:26:30,051
Musk, the richest billionaire in

2046
01:26:30,051 --> 01:26:32,520
the world? Um and he could see

2047
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,655
if it could work somewhere and

2048
01:26:34,655 --> 01:26:35,523
just throw his money. They're

2049
01:26:35,523 --> 01:26:38,660
fine. But um, I'm cerinly I'm

2050
01:26:38,660 --> 01:26:40,895
certainly should the city should

2051
01:26:40,895 --> 01:26:42,864
it come before the city. This

2052
01:26:42,864 --> 01:26:44,732
this this board, I would

2053
01:26:44,732 --> 01:26:46,734
definitely vote against G B. I

2054
01:26:46,734 --> 01:26:50,605
um it'snot sustainable. And I

2055
01:26:50,605 --> 01:26:52,473
agree with the mayor. Um, there

2056
01:26:52,473 --> 01:26:55,610
was There was some reporting on

2057
01:26:55,610 --> 01:26:58,246
KR W G and he was interviewed

2058
01:26:58,246 --> 01:27:00,647
and, uh he said that his

2059
01:27:00,647 --> 01:27:01,549
colleagues didn't understand

2060
01:27:01,549 --> 01:27:08,756
finances. Um Well. Excuse me.

2061
01:27:08,756 --> 01:27:09,891
Point of order, please. Thank

2062
01:27:09,891 --> 01:27:13,527
you. Other. Opinions Thank you.

2063
01:27:13,527 --> 01:27:18,733
So anyway, um I wanna go on to

2064
01:27:18,733 --> 01:27:20,768
things that are a little bit

2065
01:27:20,768 --> 01:27:25,906
more pleasant. Um The I was able

2066
01:27:25,906 --> 01:27:26,874
to attend the firefighters,

2067
01:27:26,874 --> 01:27:29,610
graduation. Ah! A week ago last

2068
01:27:29,610 --> 01:27:33,080
Friday. I can't even remember

2069
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:34,815
when it was it was about a week

2070
01:27:34,815 --> 01:27:38,086
ago. That's Freddie. And it was

2071
01:27:38,086 --> 01:27:39,320
and it was absolutely wonderful.

2072
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:43,056
And, um And I think it's the

2073
01:27:43,056 --> 01:27:44,892
first time I have attended,

2074
01:27:44,892 --> 01:27:47,694
And it was just amazing to see

2075
01:27:47,694 --> 01:27:49,497
the training. They get how

2076
01:27:49,497 --> 01:27:53,133
rigorous it is. And, um And

2077
01:27:53,133 --> 01:27:58,339
different. Firefighters were

2078
01:27:58,339 --> 01:27:59,574
singled out there were

2079
01:27:59,574 --> 01:28:00,507
distinguished in their

2080
01:28:00,507 --> 01:28:06,013
accomplishments. Um but it was.

2081
01:28:06,013 --> 01:28:07,648
But it was really it was very

2082
01:28:07,648 --> 01:28:10,184
nice. It was very nice to

2083
01:28:10,184 --> 01:28:12,286
participate in that and there

2084
01:28:12,286 --> 01:28:14,756
were tons of family and Children

2085
01:28:14,756 --> 01:28:19,560
and, uh, we received a pamphlet

2086
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:19,693
,

2087
01:28:19,693 --> 01:28:21,729
Um, the fire a fire fighters

2088
01:28:21,729 --> 01:28:25,032
prayer. When I am called to

2089
01:28:25,032 --> 01:28:26,200
duty. God wherever flames me

2090
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:27,669
rage give me the strength to set

2091
01:28:27,669 --> 01:28:31,272
save a life. Whatever be its age

2092
01:28:31,272 --> 01:28:32,907
, helped me embrace a little

2093
01:28:32,907 --> 01:28:35,643
child before it is too late, or

2094
01:28:35,643 --> 01:28:37,044
save an older person from the

2095
01:28:37,044 --> 01:28:39,881
horror of that fate. Enable me

2096
01:28:39,881 --> 01:28:41,616
to be alert and here the weakest

2097
01:28:41,616 --> 01:28:43,718
shout and quickly and

2098
01:28:43,718 --> 01:28:46,754
efficiently to put the fire out

2099
01:28:46,754 --> 01:28:48,856
. I want to feel my calling and

2100
01:28:48,856 --> 01:28:51,224
to give the best in me tguar

2101
01:28:51,224 --> 01:28:51,825
my every neighbor and protect

2102
01:28:51,825 --> 01:28:55,062
their property. And if,

2103
01:28:55,062 --> 01:28:56,898
according to your Will, I have

2104
01:28:56,898 --> 01:29:00,468
to lose my life. Please bless

2105
01:29:00,468 --> 01:29:01,969
He's blessed with your

2106
01:29:01,969 --> 01:29:04,304
protecting hand. My Children and

2107
01:29:04,304 --> 01:29:06,340
my it's his wife, but he should

2108
01:29:06,340 --> 01:29:07,675
say spouse because we have a lot

2109
01:29:07,675 --> 01:29:09,610
of female, so I'll just edit

2110
01:29:09,610 --> 01:29:12,346
that, and the author is unknown

2111
01:29:12,346 --> 01:29:13,681
that the ceremony was really,

2112
01:29:13,681 --> 01:29:17,218
really moving, because, um, I

2113
01:29:17,218 --> 01:29:18,685
don't remember the number, but

2114
01:29:18,685 --> 01:29:19,653
it was definitely an elite group

2115
01:29:19,653 --> 01:29:21,789
of firefighters and it was

2116
01:29:21,789 --> 01:29:25,860
really wonderful. Um Um, the

2117
01:29:25,860 --> 01:29:30,298
other before? I forget, Um Happy

2118
01:29:30,298 --> 01:29:31,865
New Year to my Jewish family to

2119
01:29:31,865 --> 01:29:34,535
my Jewish friends. Um this is a

2120
01:29:34,535 --> 01:29:37,571
very somber period up until a

2121
01:29:37,571 --> 01:29:38,740
young Cooper I think it's just

2122
01:29:38,740 --> 01:29:42,576
September 24 25. Um is, uh young

2123
01:29:42,576 --> 01:29:47,348
Cooper and It's a very it's like

2124
01:29:47,348 --> 01:29:49,783
a high holy season. Um The

2125
01:29:49,783 --> 01:29:53,855
other, Um. We already presented

2126
01:29:53,855 --> 01:29:58,392
the. Proclamation to the

2127
01:29:58,392 --> 01:30:02,162
downwinders, but, um. A lot of

2128
01:30:02,162 --> 01:30:04,165
people who were talking about

2129
01:30:04,165 --> 01:30:07,168
how how awesome the movie

2130
01:30:07,168 --> 01:30:09,203
Oppenheimer was, but what they

2131
01:30:09,203 --> 01:30:11,838
failed to talk about was how the

2132
01:30:11,838 --> 01:30:14,909
first bomb was landed here, You

2133
01:30:14,909 --> 01:30:17,144
know, not very far from us, and

2134
01:30:17,144 --> 01:30:18,379
there's 100 and 50 Mile Radius

2135
01:30:18,379 --> 01:30:22,550
and You know, my family lived in

2136
01:30:22,550 --> 01:30:23,684
this part of the world less than

2137
01:30:23,684 --> 01:30:28,088
150 miles from here. Um And I

2138
01:30:28,088 --> 01:30:30,391
was, I guess not born yet, But

2139
01:30:30,391 --> 01:30:32,793
when do I? o of my brothers

2140
01:30:32,793 --> 01:30:33,528
were already born? But the

2141
01:30:33,528 --> 01:30:34,896
follows that it was a testing

2142
01:30:34,896 --> 01:30:38,198
ground for wood followed. Um in

2143
01:30:38,198 --> 01:30:40,067
August. I think it was August 5.

2144
01:30:40,067 --> 01:30:45,305
1945. When uh, Hiroshima and

2145
01:30:45,305 --> 01:30:47,542
Nagasaki were bombed, and those

2146
01:30:47,542 --> 01:30:50,210
cities were obliterated, and it

2147
01:30:50,210 --> 01:30:51,312
took several years for things to

2148
01:30:51,312 --> 01:30:54,649
start growing again. Um And

2149
01:30:54,649 --> 01:30:57,718
sadly, the government failed to

2150
01:30:57,718 --> 01:31:00,655
make any kind of reparations. Um

2151
01:31:00,655 --> 01:31:02,657
the whole project. The Manhattan

2152
01:31:02,657 --> 01:31:04,124
Project, which took place in Las

2153
01:31:04,124 --> 01:31:07,528
Alamos. Really Um, they just

2154
01:31:07,528 --> 01:31:11,699
went in there and Took over the

2155
01:31:11,699 --> 01:31:13,433
that part and why they selected

2156
01:31:13,433 --> 01:31:16,103
New Mexico. I don't know. All I

2157
01:31:16,103 --> 01:31:17,305
know is that New Mexico was left

2158
01:31:17,305 --> 01:31:21,042
out of the Rica. The Radiation

2159
01:31:21,042 --> 01:31:22,910
Exposure Act. Um so hopefully

2160
01:31:22,910 --> 01:31:26,781
there will be some You know, uh

2161
01:31:26,781 --> 01:31:27,915
People will never get their

2162
01:31:27,915 --> 01:31:30,884
health back. Uh um People

2163
01:31:30,884 --> 01:31:32,486
continue to die as a result of

2164
01:31:32,486 --> 01:31:35,690
that radiation, and I think that

2165
01:31:35,690 --> 01:31:36,591
You know, they're like in my

2166
01:31:36,591 --> 01:31:38,726
family. It was le, Oh, he died

2167
01:31:38,726 --> 01:31:40,427
of cancer cancer. I guess it

2168
01:31:40,427 --> 01:31:42,597
runs in the family. Well cancer

2169
01:31:42,597 --> 01:31:46,801
isn't hereditary. But anyway, um

2170
01:31:46,801 --> 01:31:48,302
. The other development or

2171
01:31:48,302 --> 01:31:52,673
another wonderful. Not

2172
01:31:52,673 --> 01:31:53,808
wonderful. I mean TV. Yeah,

2173
01:31:53,808 --> 01:31:57,210
anyway, but On the upside of

2174
01:31:57,210 --> 01:31:59,479
what we do up here, Um three or

2175
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:03,784
four years ago. 2019 It was four

2176
01:32:03,784 --> 01:32:06,554
years ago. Um the city of Las

2177
01:32:06,554 --> 01:32:09,055
Cruces worked together with, um

2178
01:32:09,055 --> 01:32:12,359
Las Cruces public schools. And

2179
01:32:12,359 --> 01:32:14,061
the legal women voters of

2180
01:32:14,061 --> 01:32:17,465
southern New Mexico to present a

2181
01:32:17,465 --> 01:32:18,733
know your government day. And,

2182
01:32:18,733 --> 01:32:22,870
um And that was wonderful. Mayor

2183
01:32:22,870 --> 01:32:24,538
Pro TEM and I participated in

2184
01:32:24,538 --> 01:32:27,875
that. And uh, they were supposed

2185
01:32:27,875 --> 01:32:30,011
to be a follow up. This was

2186
01:32:30,011 --> 01:32:31,912
February of 2019. We were

2187
01:32:31,912 --> 01:32:33,314
supposed to follow up the

2188
01:32:33,314 --> 01:32:36,283
following year. And um the

2189
01:32:36,283 --> 01:32:38,052
students who were selected were

2190
01:32:38,052 --> 01:32:39,286
from all the high schools here

2191
01:32:39,286 --> 01:32:42,957
in Las Cruces. And it was four

2192
01:32:42,957 --> 01:32:46,327
students that, um Because every

2193
01:32:46,327 --> 01:32:48,596
human being shown has potential

2194
01:32:48,596 --> 01:32:50,697
. So I have to be careful about

2195
01:32:50,697 --> 01:32:54,401
how I word this. It was for Uh,

2196
01:32:54,401 --> 01:32:57,637
students who, um, would be

2197
01:32:57,637 --> 01:33:01,175
selected by their teachers. Um

2198
01:33:01,175 --> 01:33:02,409
And, of course with a parent's

2199
01:33:02,409 --> 01:33:04,945
permission. If there yeah. But

2200
01:33:04,945 --> 01:33:07,981
um, it wasn't like geared for

2201
01:33:07,981 --> 01:33:09,884
someone who was class president

2202
01:33:09,884 --> 01:33:12,820
or president of the student body

2203
01:33:12,820 --> 01:33:13,921
because that person is already

2204
01:33:13,921 --> 01:33:18,125
engaged. And, um So we were

2205
01:33:18,125 --> 01:33:19,693
going to track the students and

2206
01:33:19,693 --> 01:33:21,362
then whatever, but those

2207
01:33:21,362 --> 01:33:22,763
students are now I think they're

2208
01:33:22,763 --> 01:33:24,498
seniors at some of them are

2209
01:33:24,498 --> 01:33:26,166
seniors at MSU, and that's the

2210
01:33:26,166 --> 01:33:28,969
information we got from L. C. P

2211

01:35:07,434 --> 01:35:09,503
just wanted to sort of, if this

2251
01:35:09,503 --> 01:35:10,871
is part of the conversation to

2252
01:35:10,871 --> 01:35:13,374
go back to G B and really throw

2253
01:35:13,374 --> 01:35:14,742
my support behindsomething

2254
01:35:14,742 --> 01:35:16,109
that's been demonstrated in

2255
01:35:16,109 --> 01:35:16,910
countless peer reviewed research

2256
01:35:16,910 --> 01:35:20,080
studies to show Ah, that

2257
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:21,615
improves public health reduces

2258
01:35:21,615 --> 01:35:23,984
poverty and as poverty as a

2259
01:35:23,984 --> 01:35:25,552
policy choice. I think we can

2260
01:35:25,552 --> 01:35:27,721
choose differently, and I really

2261
01:35:27,721 --> 01:35:28,722
appreciate that, and MSU's

2262
01:35:28,722 --> 01:35:29,590

01:35:29,590 --> 01:35:31,792
Evaluating this that community

2264
01:35:31,792 --> 01:35:32,793
organizations that are really

2265
01:35:32,793 --> 01:35:34,962
trusted in our community are

2266
01:35:34,962 --> 01:35:36,129
doing it and there will be a

2267
01:35:36,129 --> 01:35:37,264

didn't necessarily know. Um that

2304
01:36:52,973 --> 01:36:54,808

2331
01:37:49,696 --> 01:37:51,966
just didn't need one on Saturday

01:37:54,001 --> 01:37:55,001
pretending everyone I do just

2334
01:37:55,001 --> 01:37:59,306
want to add that, um Former

2335
01:37:59,306 --> 01:38:01,108
mayor Michael Tubs of Stockton,

2336
01:38:01,108 --> 01:38:03,177
California is now serving as the

2337
01:38:03,177 --> 01:38:05,546
special adviser for economic

2338
01:38:05,546 --> 01:38:06,646
mobility to the governor of

2339
01:38:06,646 --> 01:38:07,747
California. So I say fail

2340
01:38:07,747 --> 01:38:11,051
forward. Um I also wanted to

2341
01:38:11,051 --> 01:38:13,987
read this. Piece of Um, this

2342
01:38:13,987 --> 01:38:17,891
article That was recently in

2343
01:38:17,891 --> 01:38:19,793
political just a couple of weeks

2344
01:38:19,793 --> 01:38:23,964
ago. That reads. The child

2345
01:38:23,964 --> 01:38:25,332
poverty rate more than doubled

2346
01:38:25,332 --> 01:38:28,369
in 2022 as Covid era programs

2347
01:38:28,369 --> 01:38:30,204
expired, erasing major economic

2348
01:38:30,204 --> 01:38:32,639
gains for the poorest Americans

2349
01:38:32,639 --> 01:38:33,840
, much like the child tax credit

2350
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:37,678
that probe Um, unrestricted cash

2351
01:38:37,678 --> 01:38:39,079
in the pockets of many families

2352
01:38:39,079 --> 01:38:42,182
in the United States, Um and you

2353
01:38:42,182 --> 01:38:43,484
know, there's this great quote

2354
01:38:43,484 --> 01:38:44,417
that says Poverty is a policy

2355
01:38:44,417 --> 01:38:46,186
choice, and I couldn't agree

2356
01:38:46,186 --> 01:38:48,922
more. Um a couple of 100 folks

2357
01:38:48,922 --> 01:38:52,759
in Congress chose not to Um,

2358
01:38:52,759 --> 01:38:55,129
reinstate this child tax credit

2359
01:38:55,129 --> 01:38:58,098
and then the child poverty rate

2360
01:38:58,098 --> 01:39:01,268
doubled, so it is absolutely a

2361
01:39:01,268 --> 01:39:03,871
choice. Um that we have these

2362
01:39:03,871 --> 01:39:05,672
high poverty rates across the

2363
01:39:05,672 --> 01:39:06,973
country, but certainly in Las,

2364
01:39:06,973 --> 01:39:10,778
Cruces and working towards

2365
01:39:10,778 --> 01:39:11,845
building something bold and

2366
01:39:11,845 --> 01:39:14,848
innovative that clearly works.

2367
01:39:14,848 --> 01:39:17,551
Um I'm proud to support that and

2368
01:39:17,551 --> 01:39:19,052
you don't have to agree with it

2369
01:39:19,052 --> 01:39:20,587
. I also just you know, I don't

2370
01:39:20,587 --> 01:39:22,489
think things like Oh, you don't

2371
01:39:22,489 --> 01:39:24,625
understand. Finances is super

2372
01:39:24,625 --> 01:39:26,393
helpful feedback. I think it's

2373
01:39:26,393 --> 01:39:29,563
um It's interesting because I

2374
01:39:29,563 --> 01:39:31,265
think, even at the federal level

2375
01:39:31,265 --> 01:39:32,699
when program when we're talking

2376
01:39:32,699 --> 01:39:34,101
about people, particularly poor

2377
01:39:34,101 --> 01:39:35,568
folks were always like, where is

2378
01:39:35,568 --> 01:39:36,670
the money going to come from?

2379
01:39:36,670 --> 01:39:38,238
But when we're talking about

2380
01:39:38,238 --> 01:39:40,073
funding military spending when

2381
01:39:40,073 --> 01:39:41,608
we're talking about funding, I

2382
01:39:41,608 --> 01:39:42,675
don't know things like the

2383
01:39:42,675 --> 01:39:44,912
Border Patrol like that. That's

2384
01:39:44,912 --> 01:39:46,246
never a question of Oh, I wonder

2385
01:39:46,246 --> 01:39:48,015
where the money is coming from.

2386
01:39:48,015 --> 01:39:50,584
Um you know, last year Chief

2387
01:39:50,584 --> 01:39:52,152
Dominguez products and budget

2388
01:39:52,152 --> 01:39:53,954
that said, You know, we need 18

2389
01:39:53,954 --> 01:39:55,555
you vehicles and none of us

2390
01:39:55,555 --> 01:39:57,223
asked. Where's the money coming

2391
01:39:57,223 --> 01:39:57,958
from, right. So it's really

2392
01:39:57,958 --> 01:39:59,726
interesting to  always when we

2393
01:39:59,726 --> 01:40:01,161
pose those questions about, um,

2394
01:40:01,161 --> 01:40:03,030
who we want to invest in in what

2395
01:40:03,030 --> 01:40:04,498
we want to invest in. And when

2396
01:40:04,498 --> 01:40:06,600
it comes to poor folks, it's

2397
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:07,667
always like, well, where's the

2398
01:40:07,667 --> 01:40:08,968
money going to come from? Um

2399
01:40:08,968 --> 01:40:10,937
when clearly at least programs

2400
01:40:10,937 --> 01:40:12,205
work, and so I'd highly

2401
01:40:12,205 --> 01:40:13,273
encourage you all to read this.

2402
01:40:13,273 --> 01:40:17,845
Incredible, um, political Um.

2403
01:40:17,845 --> 01:40:19,279
Article that at the very end,

2404
01:40:19,279 --> 01:40:27,354
says You know? We now have half

2405
01:40:27,354 --> 01:40:28,856
of Americans who do not have

2406
01:40:28,856 --> 01:40:30,591
$500 in savings, and I think

2407
01:40:30,591 --> 01:40:35,762
that's pretty tragic.m I want

2408
01:40:35,762 --> 01:40:37,564
to invite folks to attend our

2409
01:40:37,564 --> 01:40:39,633
housing Piercy meeting on

2410
01:40:39,633 --> 01:40:42,035
Wednesday at 2 P.m. on second

2411
01:40:42,035 --> 01:40:47,241
floor of City Hall. And, um.

2412
01:40:47,241 --> 01:40:50,711
Also the 11 year anniversary of

2413
01:40:50,711 --> 01:40:53,346
the opening of the house. Oh my

2414
01:40:53,346 --> 01:40:54,714
gosh, the Greg's walnut

2415
01:40:54,714 --> 01:40:57,217
Superfund site if you haven't

2416
01:40:57,217 --> 01:41:00,320
been to the open house to, um

2417
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:03,757
See how that facility is working

2418
01:41:03,757 --> 01:41:05,759
to improve the water in that

2419
01:41:05,759 --> 01:41:06,893
area. You really showed. It's

2420
01:41:06,893 --> 01:41:08,762
really incredible. I swear to

2421
01:41:08,762 --> 01:41:10,363
you,It's almost like magic. How

2422
01:41:10,363 --> 01:41:12,166
incredible that facility is and

2423
01:41:12,166 --> 01:41:13,499
what it's doing to keep our

2424
01:41:13,499 --> 01:41:15,802
water safe. So that is this

2425
01:41:15,802 --> 01:41:18,205
Thursday from 10 to 1. It's an

2426
01:41:18,205 --> 01:41:20,440
open house so you can drop in

2427
01:41:20,440 --> 01:41:21,642
whenever you'd like. But I

2428
01:41:21,642 --> 01:41:22,676
highly encourage that folks

2429
01:41:22,676 --> 01:41:23,644
attend that. Thanks, Mia.

2430
01:41:23,644 --> 01:41:24,811
Pretend Thank you. Councilor

2431
01:41:24,811 --> 01:41:26,213
Bencomo Councilor Graham. Thank

2432
01:41:26,213 --> 01:41:29,349
you, Mary Pro TEM. Uh, Just a

2433
01:41:29,349 --> 01:41:34,855
couple of Shout outs. I'm going

2434
01:41:34,855 --> 01:41:36,990
to Be the fourth person to say

2435
01:41:36,990 --> 01:41:39,059
that the City Council bike ride

2436
01:41:39,059 --> 01:41:40,627
was great. Thanks to fellow

2437
01:41:40,627 --> 01:41:42,496
Cruces to officer climate, too

2438
01:41:42,496 --> 01:41:44,998
cheap story who did all of the

2439
01:41:44,998 --> 01:41:46,934
protecting and self powered

2440
01:41:46,934 --> 01:41:48,468
pedaling, and I also want to

2441
01:41:48,468 --> 01:41:50,537
mention on a bike frame that was

2442
01:41:50,537 --> 01:41:51,504
at least one but possibly two

2443
01:41:51,504 --> 01:41:54,641
sizes too small. So yeah, I wish

2444
01:41:54,641 --> 01:41:57,043
I had known I would have brought

2445
01:41:57,043 --> 01:41:57,811
my husband's bike, which would

2446
01:41:57,811 --> 01:41:58,445
have been a little more

2447
01:41:58,445 --> 01:42:00,480
Appropriately sized so way to do

2448
01:42:00,480 --> 01:42:01,681
it all with your knees around

2449
01:42:01,681 --> 01:42:03,750
your ears on top of everything.

2450
01:42:03,750 --> 01:42:07,221
Um, I also want to Share. Thank

2451
01:42:07,221 --> 01:42:09,723
you to Patrick Peck, executive

2452
01:42:09,723 --> 01:42:12,292
director of Southentr Sol

2453
01:42:12,292 --> 01:42:14,227
Waste Authority who forwarded an

2454
01:42:14,227 --> 01:42:16,763
email chain. Um about some

2455
01:42:16,763 --> 01:42:18,632
really great community efforts

2456
01:42:18,632 --> 01:42:20,767
to clean up. I guess this last

2457
01:42:20,767 --> 01:42:22,835
weekend was national clean up

2458
01:42:22,835 --> 01:42:24,737
day, which I wasn't aware of. So

2459
01:42:24,737 --> 01:42:26,940
good to learn that and so many

2460
01:42:26,940 --> 01:42:29,175
thanks to the champion family to

2461
01:42:29,175 --> 01:42:30,343
the Stafford's, and I'm sure

2462
01:42:30,343 --> 01:42:31,544
there were other neighbors who

2463
01:42:31,544 --> 01:42:33,446
maybe didn't get mentioned. Who

2464
01:42:33,446 --> 01:42:35,882
went out to the Sierra Vista

2465
01:42:35,882 --> 01:42:37,250
trail around Votto and picked up

2466
01:42:37,250 --> 01:42:40,454
among other Easier wrangled

2467
01:42:40,454 --> 01:42:44,124
garbage 48 tires, um, including

2468
01:42:44,124 --> 01:42:46,159
someone looking at the photos,

2469
01:42:46,159 --> 01:42:47,327
um, which I would think of, as

2470
01:42:47,327 --> 01:42:48,862
like Crossfit tires because

2471
01:42:48,862 --> 01:42:51,665
they're like up to my chest. If

2472
01:42:51,665 --> 01:42:52,666
you stand them up, because in

2473
01:42:52,666 --> 01:42:54,668
like you flip them for Crossfit

2474
01:42:54,668 --> 01:42:55,502
. No no one else has flipped

2475
01:42:55,502 --> 01:42:58,205
Crossfit tires, But thank you so

2476
01:42:58,205 --> 01:43:03,010
much, Um And also, uh, of course

2477
01:43:03,010 --> 01:43:06,479
, as C S W A is such a great

2478
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:07,848
partner And these, um You know

2479
01:43:07,848 --> 01:43:08,648
in these efforts as well,

2480
01:43:08,648 --> 01:43:10,850
because a lot of times people

2481
01:43:10,850 --> 01:43:11,551
are reluctant to pick up things

2482
01:43:11,551 --> 01:43:13,720
that big because it can be

2483
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:14,688
really costly to dispose of them

2484
01:43:14,688 --> 01:43:17,090
. Once you've cleaned them up

2485
01:43:17,090 --> 01:43:20,193
and S C s W A is waiving all the

2486
01:43:20,193 --> 01:43:21,561
fees for disposal. So that is

2487
01:43:21,561 --> 01:43:24,965
another. Another big help. Um

2488
01:43:24,965 --> 01:43:28,201
and finally to Adrian Widmer and

2489
01:43:28,201 --> 01:43:30,937
her incredible team at utilities

2490
01:43:30,937 --> 01:43:31,938
. Thank you so much for

2491
01:43:31,938 --> 01:43:34,407
addressing the water pressure

2492
01:43:34,407 --> 01:43:35,609
issue that's been ongoing at

2493
01:43:35,609 --> 01:43:39,446
Lowell Road. For Technical

2494
01:43:39,446 --> 01:43:40,881
things that I couldn't possibly

2495
01:43:40,881 --> 01:43:42,715
understand. I'm going to make

2496
01:43:42,715 --> 01:43:44,284
sure that I'm going to forward

2497
01:43:44,284 --> 01:43:46,653
this. Thank you. Email Um,

2498
01:43:46,653 --> 01:43:48,054
Adrian, that I got that I don't

2499
01:43:48,054 --> 01:43:50,924
deserve. And um, if you're a

2500
01:43:50,924 --> 01:43:52,559
pass it along to yo, an if you

2501
01:43:52,559 --> 01:43:54,428
will pass it along to your

2502
01:43:54,428 --> 01:43:55,495
appropriate team members. Thank

2503
01:43:55,495 --> 01:43:56,830
you. So much for your custoer

2504
01:43:56,830 --> 01:43:58,832
service for you and your teams.

2505
01:43:58,832 --> 01:44:00,400
Carino always appreciate you. So

2506
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:02,135
thank you so much. Thank you.

2507
01:44:02,135 --> 01:44:03,102
Councilor Graham Councilor

2508
01:44:03,102 --> 01:44:05,472
Abeyta. Thank you. Mayor Pro

2509
01:44:05,472 --> 01:44:09,443
TEM. First off just a message

2510
01:44:09,443 --> 01:44:11,210
for our quality of life meeting.

2511
01:44:11,210 --> 01:44:12,779
We will not have one this month,

2512
01:44:12,779 --> 01:44:14,881
but we will next month where

2513
01:44:14,881 --> 01:44:15,982
we'll be reviewing the library

2514
01:44:15,982 --> 01:44:17,550
Master plan. So I just isn't

2515
01:44:17,550 --> 01:44:19,452
quite ready so it will be

2516
01:44:19,452 --> 01:44:21,455
meeting next month. And then, as

2517
01:44:21,455 --> 01:44:22,855
you all may know, I just came

2518
01:44:22,855 --> 01:44:24,624
back from Washington D C.

2519
01:44:24,624 --> 01:44:27,227
Whereas with the, uh Local

2520
01:44:27,227 --> 01:44:30,130
chamber of commerce where we go

2521
01:44:30,130 --> 01:44:32,365
to do advocacy on behalf of

2522
01:44:32,365 --> 01:44:34,167
veterans programs and affairs,

2523
01:44:34,167 --> 01:44:35,235
especially for his mother and a

2524
01:44:35,235 --> 01:44:38,004
little bit for forklifts. Um, we

2525
01:44:38,004 --> 01:44:40,540
also visited the U. S Chamber of

2526
01:44:40,540 --> 01:44:41,541
Commerce and got to hear a

2527
01:44:41,541 --> 01:44:42,909
little bit about the

2528
01:44:42,909 --> 01:44:44,177
developments that they're trying

2529
01:44:44,177 --> 01:44:46,145
to do within the southern region

2530
01:44:46,145 --> 01:44:48,815
and looking at near shoring. One

2531
01:44:48,815 --> 01:44:50,884
of the most interesting things,

2532
01:44:50,884 --> 01:44:53,253
though, that I think I was able

2533
01:44:53,253 --> 01:44:54,887
to view we attended the veterans

2534
01:44:54,887 --> 01:44:57,591
been Business outreach center.

2535
01:44:57,591 --> 01:45:00,260
Where we g to learn about some

2536
01:45:00,260 --> 01:45:01,762
different programs, which we've

2537
01:45:01,762 --> 01:45:03,696
already applied a bit here in

2538
01:45:03,696 --> 01:45:04,631
our community. Everything from

2539
01:45:04,631 --> 01:45:05,765
boots to business, which is to

2540
01:45:05,765 --> 01:45:10,670
help um Ah! Veterans that are

2541
01:45:10,670 --> 01:45:13,006
just exiting out of the service

2542
01:45:13,006 --> 01:45:14,975
. Um set up their small business

2543
01:45:14,975 --> 01:45:16,676
. We also have different

2544
01:45:16,676 --> 01:45:18,177
programs for empowering veteran

2545
01:45:18,177 --> 01:45:21,348
Entre preneurs ship. There seems

2546
01:45:21,348 --> 01:45:22,415
to be a little bit of a

2547
01:45:22,415 --> 01:45:23,416
difference between the

2548
01:45:23,416 --> 01:45:25,252
entrepreneurship that we see

2549
01:45:25,252 --> 01:45:26,386
across the nation versus what we

2550
01:45:26,386 --> 01:45:28,421
have in our community. We were

2551
01:45:28,421 --> 01:45:30,423
reported that in other places,

2552
01:45:30,423 --> 01:45:33,627
entrepreneurship is usually done

2553
01:45:33,627 --> 01:45:37,330
by the 60 plus crowd. Um whereas

2554
01:45:37,330 --> 01:45:39,433
here we see a different

2555
01:45:39,433 --> 01:45:42,035
demographic that is the ones

2556
01:45:42,035 --> 01:45:43,403
that are trying to open up new

2557
01:45:43,403 --> 01:45:45,038
businesses, So it was very

2558
01:45:45,038 --> 01:45:46,440
interesting. To look at. There's

2559
01:45:46,440 --> 01:45:49,342
also programs that are starting

2560
01:45:49,342 --> 01:45:52,578
to reach out to the spouses of

2561
01:45:52,578 --> 01:45:53,747
veterans to make sure it's

2562
01:45:53,747 --> 01:45:56,749
easier for them to get either

2563
01:45:56,749 --> 01:45:58,284
certified or licensed in

2564
01:45:58,284 --> 01:45:59,685
different states, which is

2565
01:45:59,685 --> 01:46:00,987
really helpful, especially if

2566
01:46:00,987 --> 01:46:02,622
they have like teaching

2567
01:46:02,622 --> 01:46:05,559
certifications or other types of

2568
01:46:05,559 --> 01:46:06,560
technical expertise. Those are

2569
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,896
needed. Um areas in many

2570
01:46:09,896 --> 01:46:11,598
different fields here in our

2571
01:46:11,598 --> 01:46:15,502
community, and there is There

2572
01:46:15,502 --> 01:46:16,936
was going to be. I believe,

2573
01:46:16,936 --> 01:46:20,106
right in 2020, a Um Posey, um,

2574
01:46:20,106 --> 01:46:22,908
about veterans outrage, and they

2575
01:46:22,908 --> 01:46:24,310
were going to host it here in

2576
01:46:24,310 --> 01:46:27,314
Las Cruces. Um, but then, with

2577
01:46:27,314 --> 01:46:28,881
everything with Covid, it was

2578
01:46:28,881 --> 01:46:30,450
delayed now it looks like we are

2579
01:46:30,450 --> 01:46:32,752
trying to bring that back here

2580
01:46:32,752 --> 01:46:34,387
again, and make sure that we can

2581
01:46:34,387 --> 01:46:38,859
get that full symposium here and

2582
01:46:38,859 --> 01:46:40,560
individuals and Wasbir and the

2583
01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:43,396
Southwest region. So if I if we

2584
01:46:43,396 --> 01:46:45,532
can work with Debbie on that to

2585
01:46:45,532 --> 01:46:47,133
just check back in, because I

2586
01:46:47,133 --> 01:46:48,168
think that was a great

2587
01:46:48,168 --> 01:46:49,302
opportunity for us to still work

2588
01:46:49,302 --> 01:46:53,573
with And Uh, I also want to say

2589
01:46:53,573 --> 01:46:55,542
I have a little girl that does

2590
01:46:55,542 --> 01:46:56,909
the walk to school every week,

2591
01:46:56,909 --> 01:46:58,511
which she's very excited about.

2592
01:46:58,511 --> 01:46:59,912
She has a little neighborhood of

2593
01:46:59,912 --> 01:47:01,982
set of friends. They all walk

2594
01:47:01,982 --> 01:47:04,184
together every day. But on

2595
01:47:04,184 --> 01:47:05,585
Wednesday on Fridays, they do a

2596
01:47:05,585 --> 01:47:07,454
different route to do the walk

2597
01:47:07,454 --> 01:47:08,622
to school. They love it. It's

2598
01:47:08,622 --> 01:47:10,490
very fun. It is all the things

2599
01:47:10,490 --> 01:47:12,292
that the little ones were saying

2600
01:47:12,292 --> 01:47:14,027
today about. It gets them

2601
01:47:14,027 --> 01:47:16,096
together. It gets community gets

2602
01:47:16,096 --> 01:47:17,864
them out and walking in the they

2603
01:47:17,864 --> 01:47:19,299
just have a blast. Plus,

2604
01:47:19,299 --> 01:47:20,633
sometimes they get little charms

2605
01:47:20,633 --> 01:47:21,935
that they can hang off their

2606
01:47:21,935 --> 01:47:23,537
backpacks. And they certainly

2607
01:47:23,537 --> 01:47:25,305
love that, too. So it's a

2608
01:47:25,305 --> 01:47:26,639
wonderful program and I'm happy

2609
01:47:26,639 --> 01:47:29,476
to see it in schools throughout

2610
01:47:29,476 --> 01:47:30,276
the city. Thank you, Mayor part

2625
01:48:01,775 --> 01:48:05,812
Appreciate CPD, Um Organizing

2626
01:48:05,812 --> 01:48:08,147
these events and these more and

2627
01:48:08,147 --> 01:48:08,748
more opportunity to interact

2628
01:48:08,748 --> 01:48:11,417
with the public. Um Speaking of

2629
01:48:11,417 --> 01:48:16,756
which I just want to share some

2630
01:48:16,756 --> 01:48:18,024
. I guess some thoughts

2631
01:48:18,024 --> 01:48:21,528
regarding downtown. Um as it

2632
01:48:21,528 --> 01:48:26,633
relates to crime and you know. I

2633
01:48:26,633 --> 01:48:27,734
know you know Council, but just

2634
01:48:27,734 --> 01:48:29,602
for the public's sake. I mean,

2635
01:48:29,602 --> 01:48:33,006
we do have Out of all this all

2636
01:48:33,006 --> 01:48:34,140
the areas in the city we

2637
01:48:34,140 --> 01:48:36,576
actually hired Security guards

2638
01:48:36,576 --> 01:48:38,111
because of the kids that allows

2639
01:48:38,111 --> 01:48:40,680
us to do that, so not only do we

2640
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:41,781
have patrol there, we have

2641
01:48:41,781 --> 01:48:42,982
community outreach there. We

2642
01:48:42,982 --> 01:48:45,051
have our, um Lieutenant Wheeler

2643
01:48:45,051 --> 01:48:48,020
is the community. Based on that

2644
01:48:48,020 --> 01:48:53,059
goes there for meetings. There's

2645
01:48:53,059 --> 01:48:53,192
e

2646
01:48:53,192 --> 01:48:57,030
farmer's market. We have a lot

2647
01:48:57,030 --> 01:48:58,064
of police presence there, I

2648
01:48:58,064 --> 01:48:59,532
think Economic development is

2649
01:48:59,532 --> 01:49:06,739
looking at Downtown. Um. 20 to

2650
01:49:06,739 --> 01:49:07,873
32 new downtown security

2651
01:49:07,873 --> 01:49:11,244
cameras. But there's a security

2652
01:49:11,244 --> 01:49:13,112
service and in addition to our

2653
01:49:13,112 --> 01:49:14,180
patrolling that that's down

2654
01:49:14,180 --> 01:49:15,948
there. From 10 PM to seven AM

2655
01:49:15,948 --> 01:49:19,753
every night. And so there's we

2656
01:49:19,753 --> 01:49:21,020
do know that Since we've

2657
01:49:21,020 --> 01:49:23,823
implemented that Crime has gone

2658
01:49:23,823 --> 01:49:24,991
down, especially during that

2659
01:49:24,991 --> 01:49:28,694
time. So there's a lot of

2660
01:49:28,694 --> 01:49:30,129
efforts being done all over the

2661
01:49:30,129 --> 01:49:31,230
city but specifically to

2662
01:49:31,230 --> 01:49:32,766
downtown. Because of that, tid.

2663
01:49:32,766 --> 01:49:34,034
We have a little bit of leverage

2664
01:49:34,034 --> 01:49:35,401
there. So just wanted to make

2665
01:49:35,401 --> 01:49:39,739
that. Make that known. Of course

2666
01:49:39,739 --> 01:49:41,708
, there's some other issues that

2667
01:49:41,708 --> 01:49:43,142
we were dealing with citywide

2668
01:49:43,142 --> 01:49:44,077
regarding crime. Working with

2669
01:49:44,077 --> 01:49:46,679
the Municipal court, also with

2670
01:49:46,679 --> 01:49:47,847
the magistrate court, and then,

2671
01:49:47,847 --> 01:49:51,250
um Of course, the D A. And

2672
01:49:51,250 --> 01:49:53,987
there's more more info to come.

2673
01:49:53,987 --> 01:49:55,154
With the chief story, will, you

2674
01:49:55,154 --> 01:49:59,793
know? Him and I will will mbe

2675
01:49:59,793 --> 01:50:00,627
present something further about

2676
01:50:00,627 --> 01:50:02,494
what's been done. But I know you

2677
01:50:02,494 --> 01:50:04,830
all have had that. Have been

2678
01:50:04,830 --> 01:50:06,666
making efforts in that way to

2679
01:50:06,666 --> 01:50:09,402
get Yet with our court system

2680
01:50:09,402 --> 01:50:12,672
and our D, a two To get these

2681
01:50:12,672 --> 01:50:14,441
things addressed, but just want

2682
01:50:14,441 --> 01:50:15,508
to make Known specifically in

2683
01:50:15,508 --> 01:50:19,478
the downtown. There's. There's

2684
01:50:19,478 --> 01:50:20,746
actually extra extra patrol

2685
01:50:20,746 --> 01:50:22,449
there more than we have in any

2686
01:50:22,449 --> 01:50:23,749
other. Part of the city because

2687
01:50:23,749 --> 01:50:27,821
of because of the tip. Um Just

2688
01:50:27,821 --> 01:50:29,088
I'll just stop there with that.

2689
01:50:29,088 --> 01:50:31,357
But Nothing with economic

2690
01:50:31,357 --> 01:50:35,060
development. They've Wanted me

2691
01:50:35,060 --> 01:50:36,228
to remind everyone about the

2692
01:50:36,228 --> 01:50:37,263
catastrophic business assistance

2693
01:50:37,263 --> 01:50:40,233

01:50:55,715 --> 01:50:57,684
shut down to the waterline

2701
01:50:57,684 --> 01:50:59,652
issues. These funds are

2702
01:50:59,652 --> 01:51:00,720
recommended to those businesses

2703
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:03,055
not only for replacement costs,

2704
01:51:03,055 --> 01:51:04,323
but for loss of revenue and lost

2705
01:51:04,323 --> 01:51:08,694
wages. I believe. That's all I

2706
01:51:08,694 --> 01:51:11,865
have medical attempt Councilor.

2707
01:51:11,865 --> 01:51:14,534
Thank you for mentioning about

2708
01:51:14,534 --> 01:51:15,434
the downtown. I think it

2709
01:51:15,434 --> 01:51:17,537
important. We've had the number

2710
01:51:17,537 --> 01:51:19,606
numerous efforts and you and I

2711
01:51:19,606 --> 01:51:21,574
spoke has laid us last week late

2712
01:51:21,574 --> 01:51:24,010
Friday about some other things

2713
01:51:24,010 --> 01:51:25,644
that I've requested bringing

2714
01:51:25,644 --> 01:51:27,447
back the large camera, maybe

2715
01:51:27,447 --> 01:51:29,949
foot patrol. Um I know that in

2716
01:51:29,949 --> 01:51:32,018
talking with Chris favor,

2717
01:51:32,018 --> 01:51:34,353
there's the suggestion and

2718
01:51:34,353 --> 01:51:35,488
recommendation about offering

2719
01:51:35,488 --> 01:51:37,991
security during the day. Where

2720
01:51:37,991 --> 01:51:40,226
there seems to be younow some

2721
01:51:40,226 --> 01:51:41,928
issues during the day. I've

2722
01:51:41,928 --> 01:51:45,598
received numerous, um, calls and

2723
01:51:45,598 --> 01:51:47,867
emails about a big brawl that

2724
01:51:47,867 --> 01:51:50,737
happened at client Park. Over

2725
01:51:50,737 --> 01:51:53,172
the weekend on Sunday. Um I'm

2726
01:51:53,172 --> 01:51:55,475
not sure Chief story if you were

2727
01:51:55,475 --> 01:51:58,244
aware of that, I'm sure there's

2728
01:51:58,244 --> 01:52:01,080
a number of things that are

2729
01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:01,714
happening citywide. But I'll be

2730
01:52:01,714 --> 01:52:02,882
forwarding that information. I'm

2731
01:52:02,882 --> 01:52:04,617
wondering if we need to just

2732
01:52:04,617 --> 01:52:07,987
move into You know, looking at

2733
01:52:07,987 --> 01:52:09,222
security for our parks? Not only

2734
01:52:09,222 --> 01:52:10,789
that. I'm hearing that at

2735
01:52:10,789 --> 01:52:12,892
Apodaca Park and all over the

2736
01:52:12,892 --> 01:52:17,764
city, so I. It's a It's an

2737
01:52:17,764 --> 01:52:18,765
issue, and I think people are

2738
01:52:18,765 --> 01:52:20,466
really concerned about that. I

2739
01:52:20,466 --> 01:52:21,868
know that you mentioned about

2740
01:52:21,868 --> 01:52:22,936
working with our district

2741
01:52:22,936 --> 01:52:26,272
attorney and our court system

2742
01:52:26,272 --> 01:52:27,840

2745
01:52:32,011 --> 01:52:34,380
municipal code, and how we can

2746
01:52:34,380 --> 01:52:37,049
have maybe some teeth in some of

2747
01:52:37,049 --> 01:52:40,320
these misdemeanors. Possibly

2748
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:42,455
felonies, and I know that that

2749
01:52:42,455 --> 01:52:43,656
