1
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:08,960
And now, for McAllen City Hall, a meeting of the McAllen City Commission.

2
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:26,380
Good afternoon or to convene the Joint City Commission meeting with the McAllen Public Utility Board. If you would please stand with me for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by the invocation by Commissioner Victor or not.

3
00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:50,970
Thank you for the gift of life and the opportunity to serve the people of our city.

4
00:00:51,550 --> 00:00:55,310
Help us to act with character and conviction, help us to listen with understanding and good

5
00:00:55,310 --> 00:01:02,610
will help us to speak with charity and restraint. Give us a spirit of service. Remind us that we

7
00:01:06,470 --> 00:01:11,870
need during this ongoing pandemic and national turmoil. Help us see the humanity and dignity of

8
00:01:11,870 --> 00:01:16,690
those who disagree with us and treat all persons with the reverence your creation deserves. Amen.

9
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:24,670
Okay, this is a joint meeting for the purposes of awarding the depository bank contract. We have

10
00:01:24,670 --> 00:01:31,070
the WTOD board quorum here and the City Commission and who's going to give us that information.

11
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:32,790
Okay, Maubo.

12
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:52,700
Good afternoon.

13
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:59,800
I don't know if you can make out or if I should remove my mask or if I'm fine.

14
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:00,580
Good.

15
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:06,900
Good afternoon, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Rice Chairman, members of the City Commission and the WTOD board.

16
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:13,840
We're here this afternoon to request your approval to award the Depository Bank Services

17
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:22,220
contract. Several months ago, staff commenced the solicitation process for the bank contract

18
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:30,480
as the current contract with Plains Capital Bank expires at the end of July. All banks,

19
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:37,940
excuse me, all banks within the city, within the city limits were given an opportunity

20
00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:45,620
or invited to submit proposals or applications to provide banking services to the city

21
00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:46,240
and McAllen.

22
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:58,520
Of the 18 banks that were contacted either by phone or by Polish notice, three submitted

23
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:04,920
Proposals, Plains Capital Bank, BBVA Bank, and Lone Star National Bank.

24
00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:11,800
Now this solicitation was conducted in coordination, of course with, you know, the purchasing

25
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:18,380
contracting department, the legal department staff, as well as the city's investment advisor,

26
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Valley View Consulting.

27
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:28,440
Tom Ross, the Valley View Consulting actually, and his team actually reviewed and analyzed

28
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:36,620
and prepared a detailed response analysis of the submittals, an evaluation committee

29
00:03:36,620 --> 00:03:41,620
consisting myself, the FBI of Yassana, and so I never said this, the Assessent Investment

30
00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:47,400
Officer, evaluated the results that were submitted to us.

31
00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:53,000
I don't know if your name and base on your experience, the bank that you're recommending

32
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,560
would that be the rest of your sentence?

33
00:03:55,260 --> 00:03:55,840
Yes, sir.

34
00:03:55,940 --> 00:03:56,500
The word you're recommending.

35
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,940
We are recommending Planes Capital Bank.

36
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:01,300
That's our incumbent bank.

37
00:04:01,820 --> 00:04:02,240
Yes, sir.

38
00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:02,720
Okay.

39
00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:08,360
We read the report, it's very detailed report, who is there any questions relating to the report?

40
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:15,140
I just have a general question on the pricing if the earnings credit rate drops to the minimum,

41
00:04:15,140 --> 00:04:24,060
I think it's a quarter basis, 25 basis points, would we incur an analysis fee or an

42
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:26,640
and or have we historically incurred an analysis fee?

43
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:30,040
I'm sorry, I didn't understand the, what kind of fee?

44
00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:31,680
Analysis for analysis.

45
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:32,760
Oh, an analysis fee.

46
00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:33,300
Yes.

47
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:40,420
One of the things that we do is we, of course, offset our expenses with the earnings credit rate.

48
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:45,800
We currently have a floor with Plains Capital Bank.

49
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,680
They have actually offered the same floor of 25 basis points.

50
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:57,500
So even if the rates even drop further, the 90-day T Bill rate, if it dropped even more

51
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,960
than that would still be locked in at 25 basis points.

52
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,340
Okay, so if the floor that a quarter basis point or 25 basis point

53
00:05:05,980 --> 00:05:09,460
Would we incur a an analysis fee would?

54
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,940
I guess it depends on where we set the threshold of your investable deposits, but that's correct

55
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:20,160
Have historically have have we been at a zero?

56
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,400
Have we netted out a zero charge?

57
00:05:23,980 --> 00:05:27,400
Well actually we have actually paid expenses because

58
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:34,520
when the rates come down and right now it's a good indication of you know where rates are they're so low right now

59
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:41,060
the night when they they T bill rate right now is at a point when five 15 basis points which is a significant

60
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:52,140
significantly lower than the 25 basis point floor. So yes we do have a hard cost that's associated with you know when those rates come

61
00:05:52,140 --> 00:05:53,300
You know, too far down.

62
00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:53,560
Yeah.

63
00:05:55,740 --> 00:06:00,460
Back in September or the end of September where we would have had a $5 million compensating

64
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:03,600
balance requirement, you know, just to break even.

65
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,480
So we wouldn't have to pay any fees.

66
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:13,520
As of the end of May, that compensating balance is up to $25 million, pretty significant of

67
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,260
a difference.

68
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:14,820
Sure.

69
00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:15,000
Okay.

70
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,760
What kind of fees are you talking about then?

71
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:17,640
An average month.

72
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,640
On an average month, it's probably around $5,000 to $7,000.

73
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,580
That's significant.

74
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,120
Okay.

75
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,700
It's still the best deal, though.

76
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:27,360
Yes, sir.

77
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,480
I was asking about pricing.

78
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,760
Probably never happened, ultimately, before.

79
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:31,960
Pretty close to that.

80
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:32,360
Never happening.

81
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:33,080
Right.

82
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:34,660
Okay. Any other questions?

83
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,520
Your recommendation is staff to have a motion from the City Commission.

84
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,300
Second.

85
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,040
Motion is second to continue with the Plains Capitol.

86
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:42,880
I'll never say aye.

87
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Aye.

88
00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:44,440
Close same sign.

89
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,180
I have a motion from the utility board.

90
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:59,120
Okay. I second I understand Ernie. You're abstaining and file the conflict of interest. I second that motion. I was in favor say aye.

91
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:09,460
Aye. Motion carried. Any other business come before the utility board? Then we would our joint meeting is adjourned. Thank you for gentlemen. Appreciate it. Thank you, Melbourne.

92
00:07:14,370 --> 00:07:24,740
the next item is a public hearing item but okay and I understand let's see the

93
00:07:24,740 --> 00:07:32,760
routine items are items two a one two and three is that correct Louise okay

94
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:52,680
a 43.0.7, it's firstly a 3.1.20, it's a 3.5.D.N.C., but does come to the commissioner with

95
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,220
a fair will recommendation to the various district departments, and the third one is the

96
00:07:57,220 --> 00:08:02,580
conditional use purpose, or inclusion use the church, for life of the youth, and 70401, nor

97
00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:03,240
the wearable.

98
00:08:03,940 --> 00:08:04,400
Okay.

99
00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:11,180
This being a public hearing, there's anyone here to appear in opposition to items 2A1, 2 and

100
00:08:11,180 --> 00:08:16,100
three as we reported item two looked like it's a negative recommendation but

101
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:18,280
one in fact it is with the approval of the variance.

102
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,280
question about that?

103
00:08:20,420 --> 00:08:20,680
Sure.

104
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:22,020
How have they been?

105
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,340
Has the bar been open or

106
00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:26,000
was it?

107
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,820
Has it been open in the past?

108
00:08:28,220 --> 00:08:29,400
It was open originally.

109
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,140
It's a light club.

110
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,700
Then it became a bar for time.

111
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:34,280
This new applicant is wanting to start a

112
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,940
social club from that location.

113
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:36,600
It's like a venue.

114
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:38,980
Yes, it's going to have members.

115
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,380
And they can have some activities

116
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:41,100
and things like that.

117
00:08:42,180 --> 00:08:42,800
Good night.

118
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,340
And they're avoiding the liquor

119
00:08:45,340 --> 00:08:47,020
or the late night.

120
00:08:50,700 --> 00:09:01,240
Okay, no, there is no public response to this request, so I'd entertain a motion for items 2A, 1, 2, and 3 for approval.

121
00:09:01,860 --> 00:09:02,080
Go move.

122
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:02,840
Second.

123
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:04,560
Okay, no further discussion.

124
00:09:04,780 --> 00:09:05,580
I'll be better say aye.

125
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,160
Aye.

126
00:09:06,540 --> 00:09:08,160
Opposed, same sign, motion carried.

127
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,560
Item B, is that still tabled?

128
00:09:12,580 --> 00:09:21,440
Okay. And then item C, condition news permits. The first one is item C1.

129
00:09:24,140 --> 00:09:25,800
Oh, that's the table, that's, I'm sorry.

130
00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:34,030
Yeah, I know it's for two, I'm going to go, I've got to go.

131
00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:35,990
Oh, you don't want to go at that time.

132
00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:42,850
Yeah, yeah, I thought they would do that. Okay, so that one's be tabled and then let's see for a dog panel.

133
00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:48,210
The next one is a request for the

134
00:09:53,780 --> 00:09:54,740
Record Commissioner of that.

135
00:09:55,100 --> 00:10:00,080
Yes, did not vote for the depository contract and abstain from participation.

136
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,740
That correct?

137
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:01,560
Yes, thank you.

138
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,380
Okay, thank you.

139
00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:08,140
So this is a condition used permit for 6820 nor Taylor for a dog kennel.

140
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:12,640
We have four requests to comment on this particular item.

141
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,080
I'm presuming that all are in favor of that.

142
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,920
I'm not mistaken are they are they in the audience

143
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,580
Well,

144
00:10:29,660 --> 00:10:31,900
I was told they were here what

00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,720
Well, that's yeah, I'm just seeing if they're here yet, and so yeah, and she the spokesperson for all four people

146
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,980
I presume if you're in favor you're going to say the same thing

147
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,720
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. You give us a briefing, Mr.

148
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:57,600
I guess it's there. I'll make a motion to remove the table. Huh?

149
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,860
This item has been produced by table. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. The

150
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:04,560
motion to take off the table. Yes. Second. I was better say aye. Sorry.

151
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,680
I always say motion carried. Thank you.

152
00:11:08,620 --> 00:11:11,920
This is a request that 1620 north fence is real for the

153
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,520
district's permit for life of the youth for a dog kennel.

154
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,980
Property itself is on the go as the property to the north.

155
00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:21,640
South of East, the west side of the property is outside the city of Limits.

156
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,660
Single family and victimism is the primary usage in the area.

157
00:11:26,540 --> 00:11:30,160
Pointing work in the Department of Difficulties has been played during 2019.

158
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,500
The second one, the name is South of the 19th, a bit of operating from the rest of the

159
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:35,840
malaria.

160
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,740
It was a citation issued, and the applicant has been trying to resolve this, and

161
00:11:40,740 --> 00:11:45,280
it has been a noticeable part of several occasions, again, trying to resolve it.

162
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:51,080
And there is an approximate 2700 square foot residence on the one acre property, and the

163
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,420
applicant has provided the back part and front yard into a four different playgrounds

164
00:11:55,420 --> 00:12:00,920
for dogs, and proposes to continue operating a dog daycare from the existing residence in

165
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:01,980
other playgrounds.

166
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,980
Approximately two employees or volunteers are there at any time.

167
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:09,520
Boarding of the dogs is available, and the grouping services are also offered.

168
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,940
Health Department has inspected the site, and it is in compliance.

169
00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:17,440
Fire Department is needed of a final follow-up inspection.

170
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,300
The request must meet requirements in Section 138-18 of the Sony Nordance, which includes

171
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:27,740
that the property should be located a minimum of 300 feet from the near-end residents.

172
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,200
The business operates from the residents and outdoor areas in the different dog playgrounds.

173
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:37,720
There isn't existing residents approximately 40-50 feet north of this location.

174
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,800
and also the parcel should be five acres or more.

175
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,940
This property is a one acre parcel.

176
00:12:43,860 --> 00:12:47,280
The item was initially tabled by PNC March 17th

177
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,540
and the City Commission on April 13th.

178
00:12:49,540 --> 00:12:50,640
It remained tabled.

179
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,220
The Planning Commission did ask that to contact the applicant,

180
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,280
indicated that they wanted to consider

181
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,840
the item at the June 2nd meeting.

182
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,440
The applicant indicated she would be there,

183
00:13:00,580 --> 00:13:02,660
but just prior to the meeting staff received a call.

184
00:13:03,180 --> 00:13:05,000
Um, her husband indicated that she wasn't able

185
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,920
to make it do to unexpected illness.

186
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,820
There was a neighbor in opposition, and for this reason the board did remove the item

187
00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:15,240
from the table to allow the neighbor to speak.

188
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:21,140
He did express concerns regarding the dogs barking all day, traffic issues, and the operation

189
00:13:21,140 --> 00:13:22,960
of a business in residential area.

190
00:13:24,460 --> 00:13:29,860
Following the discussion, the board did vote unanimously to disapprove the condition used

191
00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:30,160
permit.

192
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,260
there were seven members present and voting.

193
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:34,560
Should the commission approve,

194
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,060
you would require three-fourths vote from the board

195
00:13:37,620 --> 00:13:39,340
and it also would require a various

196
00:13:39,340 --> 00:13:41,840
to the lot size and to the distance requirement.

197
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,580
You do have in your packet letters,

198
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,920
so my position from the surrounding property owner,

199
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,280
we did also receive one right before the meeting today.

200
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,100
Again, dealing with traffic,

201
00:13:52,460 --> 00:13:55,080
there's an automated gate to get in and out of the site

202
00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:58,000
and that sometimes can cause some issues

203
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,500
apparently on traffic on to our road and also there's a minimum number of

204
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:07,100
parking on-site so that should be addressed if the permit's approved. You also have

205
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:12,280
10 emails of support for the condition used permit indicating that some of them

206
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,440
have used this service and they feel that this is a needed service for the

207
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,820
community and that the condition used permit should be approved.

208
00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:22,500
Right. Mr. Hernandez here do you know? I believe so yes sir. Okay. What we'll do is

209
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,100
I think he could come in because he's here this, I guess, and is the applicant here.

210
00:14:31,060 --> 00:14:31,460
Okay.

211
00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:37,240
What we'll do is, we'll do it like this, the people that filed this, you can speak for

212
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:37,420
them.

213
00:14:38,180 --> 00:14:42,380
And once you go ahead and I think you're in favor of it, if you would go ahead and please

214
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:44,540
limit it to like three minutes, appreciate it.

215
00:14:57,740 --> 00:14:59,980
My name is Melissa Strataghanan and I-

216
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:28,900
I'm a second hearing medical student at the UTRG School of Medicine. I am here in full support of Melissa's pet services, requesting that the city grant a conditions permit, so that she may continue to maintain her dog-a-day care business open. Over the years, I have used many dog-a-day care facilities to provide my dogs with a better quality of life, given the stringent schedule of a career in the medical field. I can honestly say that Melissa's pet service is by far

217
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:34,320
Super seats and he had a place they have ever attended as is true of many of my

218
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,440
colleagues. I left my hometown and family behind to move here to start and

219
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,360
medical school career and be a service to the Rio Grande Valley community. Finding

220
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,400
Melissa's pet services was truly a godsend not just for myself but many of my

221
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,280
colleagues who also entrust their loyal companions to Melissa and her staff.

222
00:15:56,900 --> 00:15:57,460
She

223
00:15:57,460 --> 00:15:59,400
is certainly accommodating to our hectic schedules.

224
00:16:00,020 --> 00:16:03,260
She always goes the extra mile in giving

225
00:16:03,260 --> 00:16:06,020
the amount of exercise, love, and social interaction

226
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:12,120
to keep my companion, Samson, the healthy lifestyle

227
00:16:12,620 --> 00:16:13,520
that he deserves.

228
00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:15,820
And it gives me the priceless piece of mind

229
00:16:15,820 --> 00:16:18,440
while I dedicate countless hours to my studies,

230
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,840
indoors in the library, especially during a time

231
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,220
of increasing demand for essential workers

232
00:16:25,220 --> 00:16:26,060
in the medical field.

233
00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:32,320
Melissa's pet service provides one of the most essential needs to the community by taking care of our dog companions.

234
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:45,700
By providing her the conditional use permit, you'll allow a hard working and exemplary member of your community to maintain her business open and continue to maintain her staff during the time of uncertain financial and employment insecurity.

235
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:54,260
By extension, you will also continue to provide them the county community, the very essential service that Melissa's pet service provides for us.

236
00:16:54,260 --> 00:17:06,840
Not only has Ms. Burton demonstrated her professionalism and dedication to making the necessary changes to her business to comply with city requisites, but has grown her business by where it is not from the committee.

237
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:16,700
Her reputation proceeds her, and I have encountered several dog owners in the community that I am new to at a local dog park who also rave about her business.

238
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:16,840
Yes.

239
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,820
Do you think big volumes about the honest business that is Melissa's pet services and their

240
00:17:22,820 --> 00:17:24,620
whiteness of the conditional use permit?

241
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:26,540
Thank you so much for your time.

242
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:27,680
Thank you.

243
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,640
I presume the other applicants would be expressing the same sentiment.

244
00:17:32,180 --> 00:17:33,200
And there are quite a few.

245
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,120
Actually, definitely.

246
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,220
We all got the, I think we all got the, let the emails all over.

247
00:17:40,380 --> 00:17:40,600
Okay.

248
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:42,580
Sorry, if I could add one more thing.

249
00:17:42,580 --> 00:17:52,140
In regards to the traffic complaint, I use Melissa almost regularly and I myself have never even witnessed traffic issues.

250
00:17:52,700 --> 00:18:01,160
Her gate is open during community hours or business hours and I personally have never experienced an issue with that.

251
00:18:02,220 --> 00:18:04,520
I would like to thank you very much.

252
00:18:04,980 --> 00:18:06,680
Thank you. I appreciate that.

253
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:15,500
And then we'll let Mr. Hernandez who had the written complaint participated and then we'll allow Ms. Burton to address his objections.

254
00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:17,660
Is Mr. Hernandez here?

255
00:18:26,030 --> 00:18:31,630
In your letter was in our packet, I think, and so we heard the juxtap of your complaints.

256
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:35,190
If you will please limit as much as possible to your statements.

257
00:18:36,430 --> 00:18:36,850
Go ahead.

258
00:18:37,650 --> 00:18:39,230
My name is Hector Hernandez,

259
00:18:42,790 --> 00:18:44,370
and I

260
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,360
am an immediate neighbor of the North of Melissa Burton on

261
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:50,920
Taylor Road.

262
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:54,100
I have lived there for over 30 years.

263
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,260
Zoning regulates land use in old districts.

264
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:04,240
When the change in zoning does not advance a general public purpose in land use, it should

265
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,440
be considered as illegal.

266
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,340
It also demeluates property.

267
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,660
A real nuisance, the parking of dogs day and night, it's a real nightmare.

268
00:19:16,340 --> 00:19:22,000
Screaming are the dogs to stop fighting or do this or do that is really ridiculous.

269
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,120
No proper structure for the dogs either.

270
00:19:26,820 --> 00:19:29,380
What happens when it rains or it's a real cold outside?

271
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,460
Are you going to put 20 or 30 dogs inside your house?

272
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:40,620
I would add that you need more land, at least two and a half acres, to properly open up

273
00:19:40,620 --> 00:19:46,400
a dog kennel in a special area. Traffic coming and going is beyond belief.

274
00:19:48,460 --> 00:19:49,220
I've had many

275
00:19:49,220 --> 00:19:54,180
people stop in my gate asking me to open the gate so they can bring the dogs in. I said,

276
00:19:54,360 --> 00:20:00,660
what are you talking about? They're looking for that kennel. But it's a real nuisance.

277
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:05,200
What

278
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,700
in which benefits only the property owner.

279
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,680
And not the community, like a school or a park would.

280
00:20:13,540 --> 00:20:16,100
What she's asking is that I would zone in districts

281
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:18,760
and if granted, that would show favoritism

282
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,080
towards the land owner, which is her.

283
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,280
I'm not sure when she applied for this permit,

284
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,340
but evidently she didn't apply for it

285
00:20:31,340 --> 00:20:32,160
when she moved in.

286
00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:34,880
Because as soon as she moved in,

287
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:40,020
I had people come in and go in in the front of my gate, when the meet opened the gate.

288
00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:45,380
Obviously, she's now applying for the permit after she probably got caught,

289
00:20:47,570 --> 00:20:48,350
but it's a

290
00:20:48,350 --> 00:20:52,810
real nightmare because the parking of dogs day and night is a real news.

291
00:20:53,810 --> 00:20:57,470
And you're talking about not one or two dogs, you're talking about a whole bunch of them.

292
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:01,000
I thank you all for your time.

293
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:01,960
Okay.

294
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,040
Anybody have any questions?

295
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,320
You say that the box are dark or barking day and night.

296
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:07,960
Sure.

297
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,180
Your test board says what you're telling us is that you're here in the barking day and

298
00:21:14,180 --> 00:21:14,500
night.

299
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:16,200
It continues.

300
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:16,960
Okay.

301
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,040
The barking is just the day.

302
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:18,720
Is that every day?

303
00:21:19,220 --> 00:21:20,380
Day and day out.

304
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:20,880
Okay.

305
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,140
And are you at home at all times of the day?

306
00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:26,840
Are you at home at all times of the day?

307
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:29,120
I'm there most of the time because I'm retired.

308
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:29,780
Okay.

309
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:30,960
I'm a disabled veteran.

310
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:31,540
All right.

311
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,180
And is there about 9% of the time?

312
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:34,600
All right.

313
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,760
Is there a wall that separates your property?

314
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,780
It's a big wall, yes sir.

315
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,740
How tall is that wall?

316
00:21:38,860 --> 00:21:39,520
About 8 foot.

317
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:40,120
OK.

318
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,720
And what is the wall made out of?

319
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:42,920
Thank you pardon?

320
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,700
What is the wall?

321
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,780
The material is used.

322
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:44,960
It's brick.

323
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Brick.

324
00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:48,780
And the very top portion is a 3 foot aluminum.

325
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:49,460
OK.

326
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:50,960
Why the 3 foot aluminum?

327
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:51,800
Sir.

328
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,420
Why is there a 3 foot piece of aluminum at the top?

329
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,520
Well, because prior to Ms. Burton moving into that house,

330
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,120
There was, that house was being rented to a lot of different people.

331
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:07,200
I had, there's been so many raids in that house that people were jumping, kept jumping

332
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,680
the fence over to my house, they were running away from the police officers.

333
00:22:13,060 --> 00:22:19,900
It got to be a real, real hazardous nuisance, because people were running away from the cops

334
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:24,800
and the DEA, they were trying to avoid from getting busted.

335
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:33,240
Okay, and does that brick wall or fence run the entire length of the property line that a butt smiths his burger?

336
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:38,820
Well, that did tear it off. No, so just from the house to the back of the property. To the back. Okay.

337
00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:47,720
I also understand there's like a lake, but it's not as tall. Okay, all right. Do you have any pets on your on your property?

338
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:55,180
I have who pets. Yes, sir. I love dogs myself, but what's I've got two dogs. Okay

339
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,100
I mean, they're not barking like 20 or 30 dogs day in life. All right

340
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:07,160
And can you give a little bit more detail about the traffic issue the traffic issue? What what are you observing?

341
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:15,960
What do you want? What are you observing from the traffic situation? What what do you see? What do I see? Yeah, what describe what you see?

342
00:23:17,420 --> 00:23:25,080
on the neighbor's house. Yeah, a whole bunch of tents. I mean, they've got about

343
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,000
15 or 20 tents in the back and the front and the back of the house. No, I'm

344
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,560
sorry, when I'm in traffic, how much how much vehicle traffic are you

345
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,420
observing? How many cars? They're right through my house. Okay, I mean they

346
00:23:38,420 --> 00:23:43,880
stuck in my gate. They still stuck in my gate now. Okay, asking me and to open the

347
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,700
I said, what more?

348
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,860
He said, we've got our guns here with us.

349
00:23:47,140 --> 00:23:48,740
I said, this is not the camel, isn't it?

350
00:23:49,540 --> 00:23:51,040
We don't take care of dogs here.

351
00:23:51,660 --> 00:23:54,400
How about in the last month, how many people have gone

352
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,500
and not gone your door?

353
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,120
Let's say like in the last, I don't know, last two months,

354
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,340
how many times have someone gone to go and not gone your door?

355
00:24:02,860 --> 00:24:05,180
Or ask if that's the place in the last month?

356
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,800
They come by the house at least three times a week,

357
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:09,560
three or four times a week.

358
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,780
Now would, let's just say, right now,

359
00:24:11,780 --> 00:24:15,880
How does Ms. Burden have any sign or anything that has that that's her business, do you know?

360
00:24:16,740 --> 00:24:18,920
No, we've got a gate in front of my house.

361
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:25,400
No, but do you know Ms. Burden has a sign that says that's for this place of business?

362
00:24:25,420 --> 00:24:29,860
Because we don't respect with this mask on it, I really can't.

363
00:24:29,940 --> 00:24:30,120
Okay.

364
00:24:30,420 --> 00:24:36,260
So does Ms. Burden have any sign or anything outside of her business saying like this is where

365
00:24:36,260 --> 00:24:37,140
her medicine?

366
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,760
Not to my knowledge, no matter.

367
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,040
So do you think that maybe that would solve the problem of people stopping your house?

368
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:49,900
You don't think that would stop that would stop the problem of people stopping is it just because they don't know if it's in one house or the other

369
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:54,920
Or is it because they don't know where the place is seems like it okay, and they're looking for it

370
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,620
Okay, well, I think that would be

371
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:05,460
I've had him honking at the middle of the night honking my house honking. I said who could it be you know, I go

372
00:25:05,460 --> 00:25:13,580
I see what it's all about, and it's telling me to open the gate to bring the dogs in and say, what dog?

373
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:17,520
You don't really know dog in here. I got you.

374
00:25:19,940 --> 00:25:23,560
Can you hear the dogs in your house or just while you're outside?

375
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:26,300
My dogs that are in New York, but it's all finished in.

376
00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:32,960
No, but the dogs from the kennel, can you hear them barking inside of your house or just when you're outside?

377
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,340
I've heard him barking inside, and I've said that you are.

378
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:35,660
OK.

379
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:38,240
While you're inside the house, you get the dogs barking.

380
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,380
While you're in the head inside.

381
00:25:41,460 --> 00:25:42,680
No, while you are inside.

382
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,240
But I've heard dogs barking outside.

383
00:25:44,740 --> 00:25:46,440
And at the same time, they're barking,

384
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,840
someone barking inside.

385
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,100
When you're in your house, can you hear the dogs?

386
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,600
When you are in your own house, can you hear their dogs barking,

387
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,140
the dogs from the kennel?

388
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:00,680
OK, hear them clearly all the time, OK.

389
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,660
I mean, you're talking about, you're not talking about one or two dogs.

390
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,220
You're talking about a whole bunch of dogs.

391
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:13,300
They're all fighting and then somebody screaming at them to shut their mouths and do this

392
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:14,060
and do that.

393
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,520
It's a real nuisance.

394
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:22,140
Is there an opportunity for each one of you to put a numerical address outside so it is visible

395
00:26:22,140 --> 00:26:26,660
when the people are coming? That way they won't stop at your gate anymore.

396
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,260
Is that a possibility to put your address on your gate?

397
00:26:29,260 --> 00:26:35,140
I just ignore them. Would you believe that? No, I know. I understand. But they're still going to knock if they don't know where they are.

398
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:45,240
If I have visitors, they call me. They say, hey, we're coming over or whatever. I'll open the gate for them. But lately, I've just been ignoring them.

399
00:26:45,660 --> 00:26:46,280
No, no, I know.

400
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:56,020
Eventually, they'll get tired. On your gate, if there's an impossibility of putting the numerical address so that they don't stop or bother you anymore, is that a possibility?

401
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:02,820
Well, we could put something up need be but it doesn't have to but the other one well the applicant

402
00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:07,820
Yeah, the applicant put the sign saying like this is where her business is I think that would just

403
00:27:08,540 --> 00:27:12,620
Eliminate that problem it would help but then the barking issue remains an issue

404
00:27:12,620 --> 00:27:19,700
As I said something like this would just benefit the community. It only benefit the owner of the property

405
00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:26,000
I've been there for over 30 years living so peaceful and now it's a big racket day in

406
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:30,240
and day out, day in and day at night, day at night, day at night, day at night, day at night.

407
00:27:30,660 --> 00:27:34,620
I mean, when I was in arrest, I don't know if it's okay, any other questions?

408
00:27:36,460 --> 00:27:41,020
If there was a requirement, if this board were to consider the permit and put a requirement

409
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:49,440
that she had to keep the dogs inside her own home, let's say by 7 p.m., would that help and

410
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,560
that it would reduce the amount of news in all the parking throughout the day?

411
00:27:53,260 --> 00:27:54,820
Well, I'm saying, I mean, that's throughout the day.

412
00:27:54,820 --> 00:27:55,780
No, I don't know.

413
00:27:55,980 --> 00:28:00,080
I'm just saying, would you believe at least that's somehow, as opposed to no help at all?

414
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:01,200
I find dogs parked all day.

415
00:28:01,460 --> 00:28:04,880
No, we don't do respect and don't want us to even know, sir.

416
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:05,480
No.

417
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:07,700
Do you understand?

418
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,220
He gets out of hand.

419
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,120
He gets out of hand.

420
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:15,180
Do you understand that where the residents is located and the property that we're talking

421
00:28:15,180 --> 00:28:22,280
about is actually zoned and is permissible through a conditional use permit to allow a kennel

422
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:30,340
With the requirement that it be five acres. So you understand that zoning is not the issue. It's the use of the property is the issue. Do you understand?

423
00:28:31,660 --> 00:28:33,520
Yes, sir. All right.

424
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:43,780
Like I said, it's a real nightmare. If you want to see a nightmare go and live over there with me for a week or two and you can run it out all right.

425
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,520
Okay. Any other questions?

426
00:28:50,740 --> 00:28:50,840
No.

427
00:28:50,940 --> 00:28:51,520
Okay. Thank you.

428
00:28:51,860 --> 00:28:54,080
And there's the other person that filed that position.

429
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,860
Are they here in the room?

430
00:28:56,420 --> 00:28:57,320
Shall we send a letter?

431
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,020
First off, were they within the 200 feet?

432
00:29:03,710 --> 00:29:05,010
On the neighbor across the street.

433
00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:09,180
Okay.

434
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:09,900
Okay.

435
00:29:10,300 --> 00:29:10,960
Thank you, Mr. Hernandez.

436
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:12,480
Thank you, sir.

437
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,040
Thank you.

438
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:13,780
Thank you all for your time.

439
00:29:13,860 --> 00:29:14,380
Okay. Yes, sir.

440
00:29:14,620 --> 00:29:15,220
Appreciate it.

441
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:17,240
Mr. Burton's here.

442
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:25,960
Could you just, you know, generally kind of address what was said in the last question?

443
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:30,840
Yeah.

444
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,120
You could probably, since there's nobody within 10 feet, you could probably do the, okay.

445
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:35,600
Thank you.

446
00:29:36,340 --> 00:29:36,820
Okay.

447
00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:43,580
So to address what the gentleman said, first of all, I haven't been allowed to have a sign.

448
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,520
So that probably would help take care of that issue for him.

449
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,080
The other thing is that I have dogs indoors to sleep.

450
00:29:52,340 --> 00:29:57,020
Dogs are never outside past 9 o'clock and they sleep all indoors.

451
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,800
His dogs do not sleep indoors, they are outdoors.

452
00:30:07,780 --> 00:30:15,760
I do not ever allow dogs to be barking continuously for any length of time, all at the same identical

453
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:22,300
time and synchrony. So, I'm not sure what he's referring to in that situation. We do have

454
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:31,800
the structured setup, we have an entire schedule that we follow throughout the day. So I'm not sure

455
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:39,580
about why I need mentioning the structure. The traffic issue, I actually am the only place that's

456
00:30:39,580 --> 00:30:47,900
available in the community that has the hours available that I do. I'm actually open until 9th

457
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:54,940
clock or 9.30 and I allow people to drop off their dogs throughout the day or or pick up

458
00:30:54,940 --> 00:30:58,660
their dogs throughout the day so that everyone is not coming at the same time like a school

459
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:05,720
so that we don't have that traffic so nobody so everybody's not coming at the same time with like

460
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:15,500
a long line or something they come to sporadically few at a time and the fact that we do have lots

461
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:23,920
the dog should speak to the fact that the community is utilizing us because it's a necessary

462
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,180
service in the community.

463
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,100
In terms of, they inconvenience to him.

464
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:37,860
He said that he can hear the dog in his home having a hard time believing that again.

465
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:44,340
I will not ever allow dogs to bark continuously for a period of time because the level of a

466
00:31:44,340 --> 00:31:49,380
Rousal would be too high, and then you would have tension between the dogs, and so I know

467
00:31:49,380 --> 00:31:57,560
as having experience with dogs, that I would never be able to allow them and have them

468
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,520
properly interact socially, awfully socially.

469
00:32:01,980 --> 00:32:07,880
We are the only person, the only business in the community that offers 100% page-free,

470
00:32:08,340 --> 00:32:10,520
but we're not the ones that are that to the idea.

471
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:17,340
other big cities all have this option plenty of it and we don't hear in the community lots of people are moving from

472
00:32:17,340 --> 00:32:20,460
other areas all the time to our city

473
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:30,060
Looking for this type of option and it's finally available not everybody wants to put their dog in a cage and I've found that

474
00:32:30,060 --> 00:32:31,720
large a large

475
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:39,160
Group of people that have supported me that bring their dogs to me including

476
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,060
being our congressman, I have a few on the school board, I have a-

477
00:32:44,060 --> 00:32:44,700
That doesn't matter.

478
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,900
You're barking up the wrong tree here, okay?

479
00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:49,160
Absolutely.

480
00:32:49,420 --> 00:32:50,100
Let's see what you said.

481
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,980
What I think don't you have the other day?

482
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,820
The site up is generally in groups, about 15 per group.

483
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,560
And it's to the small dog group and a big dog group and they're on separate sides of the house,

484
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,260
the one in the front and one in the back.

485
00:33:07,260 --> 00:33:11,200
And how many times a day do I guess forever clean up after the dawn?

486
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:11,880
Excuse me?

487
00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:15,500
How many times a day, or what time do you have to clean up after the dawn?

488
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,400
Clean up?

489
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:17,560
Continuously.

490
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:19,360
Continuously.

491
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,080
Yeah.

492
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,260
They would step on it when they're running after the ball.

493
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,840
If you're weird, always clean.

494
00:33:25,940 --> 00:33:29,380
There's not like a time we clean because you can't just leave it there.

495
00:33:29,820 --> 00:33:34,480
And the health code people already came that I keep it very, very clean place.

496
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:40,780
I live there. It's my home. I've not been allowed to be all over my own home.

497
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:49,760
I assume they're sorry. There's also the amount of money you have now, but at some point there's actually a demand in the community for the type of search you're providing.

498
00:33:50,020 --> 00:33:56,720
But there's also to be a limit to what you can intake at your site property, at your site facility, staff.

499
00:33:57,660 --> 00:34:03,440
I don't know if that's it. By the planning or is that something, what is your limit there that you can max out?

500
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:09,420
What I've been hearing from it from planning and everybody who's at the size of the property and home

501
00:34:09,420 --> 00:34:15,340
Because because the dogs are endorsed as well and into a 2,800 square feet

502
00:34:16,620 --> 00:34:18,860
Indoor day. We're saying about

503
00:34:20,180 --> 00:34:24,880
60 to 80 could be but I don't have 60 to 80 and in one time

504
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:31,020
What's the maximum number of dogs that have been at your location at any time?

505
00:34:35,580 --> 00:34:42,560
I'm going to say probably 45 maybe when we have like a big event or something we would

506
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:50,340
have three groups of 15 probably that's like when we have like our Easter eggs on

507
00:34:50,340 --> 00:34:58,340
or Christmas party or Valentine's Day event or the right groups all day or three groups

508
00:34:58,340 --> 00:35:00,320
different times altogether?

509
00:35:02,540 --> 00:35:08,120
Well, people come throughout the day, so why not be the same number in the morning as it is in the evening?

510
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,180
In fact, actually, that brings me to a point.

511
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,100
I do doggy day care and boring.

512
00:35:13,820 --> 00:35:15,320
Doggy day care ends at seven o'clock.

513
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:19,200
And it definitely dogs that stay over are the ones that are boarding.

514
00:35:19,740 --> 00:35:23,780
And that number is always considered really smaller than during the day.

515
00:35:23,780 --> 00:35:29,240
So during the day of until 7 o'clock is when I have the majority of dogs and all

516
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:33,080
what it does is stay indoors overnight. Yes that's right. And how many

517
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:40,980
ported dogs do you normally have? It can vary from 1 to 25 but it just depends and

518
00:35:40,980 --> 00:35:44,940
you're open seven days a week. We are we're always open and you've been in the

519
00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:45,460
middle of the night.

520
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,620
I try to accommodate all schedules so I try to work with my

521
00:35:50,620 --> 00:35:54,060
appliances as much as I can and that also helps to avoid traffic issues.

522
00:35:54,420 --> 00:35:57,480
How long have you been at that site? How did you pick that site?

523
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,340
I've been there for coming on two years or like a year and a half

524
00:36:02,340 --> 00:36:06,560
and we have been applying for the permits since this entire time

525
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,340
but we were table to end these planning department

526
00:36:10,340 --> 00:36:14,660
for some time because they were trying to figure out

527
00:36:14,660 --> 00:36:16,680
what kind of permit I could apply for.

528
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:32,120
And we've been there for a year and a half and was looking for a property in nearby, so I wouldn't lose a clientele in the general area, so I thought this property was for sale, and it was in the right zone.

529
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:42,100
I consulted an attorney, and we decided it was in the right zone, so I was able to apply.

530
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:54,980
So, we were doing a home occupation permit initially and then we were advised by the city prosecutor to switch it to a dog kennel with a variance.

531
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,960
And did you immediately apply for that home occupation when you bought the house or did you wait some time?

532
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:10,900
No, because the, we waited because the zone, the climate people that I've been working

533
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:15,700
with this entire time to have told this guy that we didn't make their requirements

534
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:20,260
and they would, they weren't allowing it to go forward.

535
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,140
We've been applying this whole time and talking to them, they wouldn't let our people work

536
00:37:25,140 --> 00:37:35,960
to be on that point until the city prosecutor informed him that I was under the right zoning

537
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,720
area so that I could move forward.

538
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:45,380
If the sport were to consider and grant a variance and allow you a permit, would your

539
00:37:45,380 --> 00:37:51,240
operation or business be hampered if you were required to have the dogs inside your residence

540
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:53,780
by no later, let's say 7 p.m. or 8 p.m.?

541
00:37:53,780 --> 00:37:54,780
No, that would be fine.

542
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,780
They are, obviously, inside at their set of PMs.

543
00:37:57,900 --> 00:37:59,200
It's like a pretty exhausting mission.

544
00:37:59,420 --> 00:38:03,320
They've been inside, and generally, they're exhausted, too.

545
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,160
They care, so they're staying indoors.

546
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:07,720
That's about when we feed them.

547
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,640
So we bring them inside, we take each.

548
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,820
We give them one last fight, or we can go to sleep.

549
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:15,040
And if there was a condition on the corner,

550
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:18,060
that your offers or cooperation would be more limited,

551
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,900
because you're saying that you're pretty much open at any time.

552
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:28,840
Let's say where the cutout would be 7.30 or 8, you couldn't start receiving any earlier

553
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,380
than 6 in the morning or 7.

554
00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:33,960
Would that severely impact or affect your business?

555
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:35,480
No, that is fine.

556
00:38:35,660 --> 00:38:37,820
We don't receive documents for 7 in the morning.

557
00:38:38,140 --> 00:38:39,160
I'm not into the morning person.

558
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,940
And if there are conditions also where to cap the number of dogs that know more than 50,

559
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:46,880
is that something that wouldn't crimp your business or hamper your business?

560
00:38:47,180 --> 00:38:48,980
It would hamper my business absolutely.

561
00:38:48,980 --> 00:38:51,500
I pay over $2,000 dollars and mortgage.

562
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,920
Okay, but when I asked you earlier, you said on the typical,

563
00:38:56,940 --> 00:38:59,580
the maximum amount of dollars you've had has been 50,

564
00:39:00,140 --> 00:39:03,020
and maybe the most you've had at any one time has been 25 boarding.

565
00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:05,220
We're talking about a total of 75 dollars.

566
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:05,660
Yeah.

567
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:06,260
Okay.

568
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,540
Wait, wait, I'm sorry.

569
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,300
Can you repeat the question?

570
00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:10,480
Yeah, I think you have 75 dollars.

571
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,040
You had answered 50 at any given time.

572
00:39:14,020 --> 00:39:15,020
Yeah, 50 at any given time.

573
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:16,040
That's your highest number.

574
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:17,220
Yeah, not 75.

575
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,080
Okay.

576
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,160
I know about that.

577
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:19,940
It's the.

578
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,600
Do you know, if you can go.

579
00:39:23,900 --> 00:39:24,960
Yeah, I'm okay.

580
00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:25,800
Yeah.

581
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,880
I don't know.

582
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,700
You average your average is 30 to 35.

583
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:37,580
I would.

584
00:39:38,140 --> 00:39:38,900
During the day.

585
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,080
And then if anybody evening, it will be, you know, it will be

586
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,040
dropped to about eight or nine year in the week.

587
00:39:44,580 --> 00:39:45,940
So no more than 50.

588
00:39:46,820 --> 00:39:49,280
And then that's where I'm going outside after 8.

589
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:49,520
I think 8 PM?

590
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:50,280
7 PM.

591
00:39:50,940 --> 00:39:51,900
I think 8 PM.

592
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,180
I think 8 PM.

593
00:39:54,260 --> 00:39:55,360
I'll just throw that out there.

594
00:39:55,620 --> 00:40:00,960
What time do you guys let your dogs out for the last party break?

595
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,480
10 o'clock in the night.

596
00:40:03,860 --> 00:40:05,980
All three dogs at 10 o'clock at night.

597
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,320
I guess it wouldn't have been just, I mean, after 8 is not for play.

598
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,360
Like for play time outside after 8.

599
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,520
But I mean, if they have to go into the necessities, then I mean that's fine.

600
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,360
Okay, so for play time.

601
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,980
What I have to do, I think we have strings requirements actually.

602
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,440
Even though congratulations, I think we're doing a wonderful job.

603
00:40:27,940 --> 00:40:28,900
We have a lot of supporters.

604
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,900
The only issue though, that supporters don't live next to you.

605
00:40:32,060 --> 00:40:32,980
They go drop off the dog.

606
00:40:33,460 --> 00:40:37,380
So we have to take Mr. Hernandez's interest in consideration.

607
00:40:37,860 --> 00:40:38,020
Correct.

608
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,820
So should we do or should the council commission wish to do something?

609
00:40:42,820 --> 00:40:45,700
I think we need to put some strict requirements

610
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,680
and limit it to a year or should there be any issues.

611
00:40:50,140 --> 00:40:52,860
Of course, you're subject to being shut down.

612
00:40:53,140 --> 00:40:54,440
I think it is very, very difficult.

613
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,060
Yeah, I think it is a year.

614
00:40:56,180 --> 00:40:58,020
Can I be less than a year?

615
00:40:59,820 --> 00:41:01,540
You're getting a variance you could be whatever you want.

616
00:41:02,740 --> 00:41:04,380
Well, I think the first thing we do is get an address

617
00:41:04,380 --> 00:41:05,820
on somebody's house with data.

618
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:06,600
There's no more consideration.

619
00:41:07,140 --> 00:41:08,740
If you were going to see you be able to do a little

620
00:41:08,740 --> 00:41:09,720
whatever sign for me.

621
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:12,800
Well, even the ones you buy at age

622
00:41:16,940 --> 00:41:21,780
I mean, I mean, dogs no matter what, you can have a 10-foot wall and yours to an arrow.

623
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:22,500
That's my question.

624
00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:26,170
My answer was a name for every day.

625
00:41:27,110 --> 00:41:28,350
I don't have any more questions here.

626
00:41:29,190 --> 00:41:30,570
Okay. Anybody else have any questions?

627
00:41:31,970 --> 00:41:33,250
So the variance is...

628
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,220
I don't think that's the issue here.

629
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:48,560
I don't think the kind of care...

630
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,000
I don't think the kind of care is giving you the issue here.

631
00:41:51,000 --> 00:42:02,700
It's a variance. The ordinance is at 500 feet and 300 feet and in quite frankly, I don't know my understanding is barking dog violations have been and this was kind of the staff's.

632
00:42:02,900 --> 00:42:10,000
Trying to remedy the situation because there is a barking dog ordinance in the city that applied to your house and everybody else's house city.

633
00:42:10,420 --> 00:42:15,260
But I don't think it's a question of the care that the person is giving it's the location is the issue.

634
00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:29,770
You don't you don't live next to her either so I mean you can't do it. That's it.

635
00:42:31,330 --> 00:42:33,130
We can be here all day on that.

636
00:42:33,950 --> 00:42:34,250
Okay.

637
00:42:34,330 --> 00:42:36,910
Make a motion to approve.

638
00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:41,690
For one year a condition use the permit at 6820 North Taylor.

639
00:42:42,870 --> 00:42:46,630
For the purpose of operating a dog kennel.

640
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:49,350
and running a variance to the five acre requirement.

641
00:42:50,050 --> 00:42:53,130
Also make a condition that dogs must retire at the end

642
00:42:53,130 --> 00:42:55,650
of the evening by 8 p.m. inside the home,

643
00:42:56,390 --> 00:42:58,710
that the total number of dogs during any time

644
00:42:58,710 --> 00:43:00,710
of given day be no more than 50,

645
00:43:01,610 --> 00:43:03,610
that there'd be a limitation on the drop off

646
00:43:03,610 --> 00:43:06,630
and pick up time no earlier than six, no later than eight,

647
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:09,010
and that of course that the applicant adhere

648
00:43:09,010 --> 00:43:11,670
to all parking requirements is required by code enforcement,

649
00:43:13,670 --> 00:43:21,170
and should be required to have a business sign within the requirements and ordinances of the

650
00:43:21,170 --> 00:43:22,550
sign ordinance of the city, McAllen.

651
00:43:23,410 --> 00:43:27,390
And I believe you missed the after eight only for four.

652
00:43:27,610 --> 00:43:30,310
Oh, yeah, of course, after eight, yeah, for necessities.

653
00:43:30,610 --> 00:43:32,150
Yeah, I would have taken that motion.

654
00:43:33,130 --> 00:43:34,370
Okay, and for discussion.

655
00:43:35,070 --> 00:43:35,750
Here none.

656
00:43:36,270 --> 00:43:37,430
All in favor raise your hand.

657
00:43:38,610 --> 00:43:39,330
All right.

658
00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:42,970
I'll pose raise your hand.

659
00:43:45,390 --> 00:43:45,930
Do

660
00:43:51,850 --> 00:43:53,070
we need a supermajority or something?

661
00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:53,510
Yeah.

662
00:43:53,850 --> 00:43:54,850
The motion pal?

663
00:43:55,290 --> 00:43:55,490
Yeah.

664
00:43:55,830 --> 00:43:55,970
Okay.

665
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:01,580
Okay.

666
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,240
That's the end of the public hearing.

667
00:44:04,580 --> 00:44:06,120
Oh, we have items two.

668
00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:08,000
Men is only in ordinance for item two.

669
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,680
A one.

670
00:44:14,090 --> 00:44:14,930
But is that meant?

671
00:44:15,890 --> 00:44:17,750
That is permit spend tonight.

672
00:44:20,550 --> 00:44:23,390
The condition your permit spend tonight takes six votes.

673
00:44:24,010 --> 00:44:24,690
You want your C five?

674
00:44:24,690 --> 00:44:27,230
Can you explain that to her, what's the requirement?

675
00:44:27,310 --> 00:44:30,570
Well, I mean, the staff recommendations know the 300-year-old next to the house.

676
00:44:31,950 --> 00:44:37,250
You know, you also have the sanctity of the person next door, 50 dogs is a lot of dogs.

677
00:44:37,650 --> 00:44:39,630
I understand I have two dogs.

678
00:44:39,770 --> 00:44:44,770
I can't keep them from barking and I make sure I protect my neighbors from that as much as I can.

679
00:44:45,070 --> 00:44:48,790
My neighbors have dogs and they bark and that's an issue in neighborhoods.

680
00:44:49,050 --> 00:44:51,310
And I think, you know, this gentleman's lived here 30 years.

681
00:44:51,310 --> 00:44:59,850
and the staff recommendation and PNZ's recommendation is negative and I don't I don't doubt you provide great services it's just

682
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:27,380
And within 300 feet of a house, everything's zone-day, oh, out there. And so that was a condition used from it was kind of a compromise to the barking dog violation ordinance. And it went through PNZ. And I don't disagree with the PUZ unless there was some evidence that pertain to the variance. And that's why there's 300 feet requirement for that very reason. So I apologize, but that's why I didn't.

683
00:45:27,380 --> 00:45:33,260
You know in the future where I'd like to see maybe through the onus committee looked also on the the acreage because five acres is pretty

684
00:45:33,260 --> 00:45:38,780
Lot, you know, so canals aren't there to grace dogs and cats. Yeah, I don't have as much from with the five acres

685
00:45:38,780 --> 00:45:40,100
I did with the three hundred three

686
00:45:40,100 --> 00:45:41,760
All right

687
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:47,200
You know, where can we reconsider like this instead of like a whole year do it like like comment you said six months

688
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,300
See how see how they're working. I'm fine with that and if you know give her a chance to

689
00:45:56,300 --> 00:46:01,760
I think we'll be here next year again and I think, you know, it's not a great location.

690
00:46:01,820 --> 00:46:07,380
I'm not sure if she knows to figure out, you know, using doves and corrections and, um,

691
00:46:08,420 --> 00:46:12,080
but I don't, I mean, if we deny her, she's out of the shop tomorrow.

692
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:13,880
Yeah, and her and her employees.

693
00:46:14,140 --> 00:46:16,980
Well, if you want to make a motion, if you want to make a motion for six months,

694
00:46:17,180 --> 00:46:19,740
I'll make a motion with all the recitals I made previously.

695
00:46:19,740 --> 00:46:23,640
But with a caveat that we come back, it only be a permit for six months

696
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,900
Update all your restrictions and right all the other

697
00:46:30,780 --> 00:46:37,180
Resettles I stated about the fine and the number and the time-guarded operation for six months

698
00:46:38,660 --> 00:46:47,610
Okay, I'll second second for second. Okay. I'll have a favor raise your hand. All right motion carried

699
00:46:48,930 --> 00:46:49,450
Okay

700
00:46:49,450 --> 00:46:49,690
Okay.

701
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:57,240
Yes.

702
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:57,720
Yes.

703
00:46:58,060 --> 00:46:58,700
For six months.

704
00:46:58,820 --> 00:47:00,700
Just make sure everything's okay for six months.

705
00:47:12,190 --> 00:47:12,590
Okay.

706
00:47:12,850 --> 00:47:19,430
I'll understand motion to approve amend the rezoning ordinance for items two A1, recognize that

707
00:47:19,430 --> 00:47:20,930
two B's in or two and that was table.

708
00:47:21,590 --> 00:47:22,410
Take that out of the ordinance.

709
00:47:24,150 --> 00:47:24,630
Move.

710
00:47:24,830 --> 00:47:25,010
So moved.

711
00:47:25,970 --> 00:47:26,290
Okay.

712
00:47:26,950 --> 00:47:27,750
I'm fair to say aye.

713
00:47:27,930 --> 00:47:28,210
Aye.

714
00:47:28,570 --> 00:47:29,170
Opposed same side.

715
00:47:29,290 --> 00:47:29,750
Motion carried.

716
00:47:30,250 --> 00:47:31,310
Public hearings over.

717
00:47:32,230 --> 00:47:33,530
Well, the consent agenda.

718
00:47:33,530 --> 00:47:36,810
and I would obviously be taken off the consent agenda for discussion.

719
00:47:37,090 --> 00:47:39,470
You've got a public hearing of the CDBG.

720
00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:40,710
Oh, I'm sorry.

721
00:47:41,250 --> 00:47:44,730
Public hearing to consider the 2020-2021

722
00:47:45,370 --> 00:47:49,470
one-year action plan for CDBG, this is a public hearing only.

723
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:57,960
Okay,

724
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:01,860
go ahead.

725
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,960
Good evening, Mayor and members of the City Commission.

726
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:12,840
My name is Athanasu Nohosa and I am the Secretary of the Community Development Council with me is one of my colleagues.

727
00:48:13,620 --> 00:48:20,000
The agenda item before you is a public hearing regarding the draft of the fiscal year 2020-2021-1 year action plan.

728
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:27,940
The agenda item also contains recommendations of the Community Development Advisory Council for the use of CDBG and Home Investment Partnership.

729
00:48:27,940 --> 00:48:36,280
under 100 regulations, construction, public services, and administration are eligible services activities.

730
00:48:37,540 --> 00:48:43,320
This year the committee was presented with 37 applications for CDBG and home funding,

731
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:47,260
totaling more than 3.7 million of these applications.

732
00:48:48,260 --> 00:48:57,080
We received 2.3 million in request for construction and housing projects with $1,100,000 to award.

733
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:06,400
In addition, we received 496,483 requests for social service projects with only 255,000 available.

734
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:12,700
The home application's total, 600,000 with 524,000 to be awarded.

735
00:49:13,780 --> 00:49:19,220
In an effort to provide you with our best recommendation, we did hold public hearings and

736
00:49:19,220 --> 00:49:21,360
interview agencies and department staff.

737
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,600
We also took into consideration recaptured funds, reports submitted,

738
00:49:26,140 --> 00:49:29,000
a number of clients who would benefit and the type of activity.

739
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:34,420
We as a CD board would like to thank you, the mayor, and city commissioners for

740
00:49:34,420 --> 00:49:39,060
a confidence in us to be part of this process to handle CDBG and

741
00:49:39,060 --> 00:49:43,300
the participation process, granting us the opportunity to make this recommendation.

742
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:46,840
We take great pride in serving this great city in town.

743
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,120
Please note that the final approval of this budget is tentatively scheduled for

744
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:52,960
or Monday, July, the 13th.

745
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:54,900
If you have any questions about our recommendation,

746
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:56,640
we'd be glad to respond at this time.

747
00:49:58,180 --> 00:49:58,660
Okay.

748
00:50:00,060 --> 00:50:00,940
Any questions?

749
00:50:01,420 --> 00:50:01,900
Did you post,

750
00:50:02,540 --> 00:50:05,040
I want you to have the location in our map over there.

751
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,680
Any members from the public here to comment

752
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,680
on the proposed CBDG funding

753
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,860
for the next fiscal year, going

754
00:50:22,650 --> 00:50:23,030
once,

755
00:50:24,190 --> 00:50:24,990
going twice.

756
00:50:25,090 --> 00:50:26,310
Any comments from the City Commission?

757
00:50:26,790 --> 00:50:28,110
I have a quick question.

758
00:50:29,630 --> 00:50:34,610
The sidewalk and the government that weren't recommended,

759
00:50:35,010 --> 00:50:37,190
is that over at Las Palmas Community Center,

760
00:50:37,490 --> 00:50:41,210
or is that, it's kind of much to know where wrong that was.

761
00:50:43,900 --> 00:50:46,320
I guess that's not so much the further noise of that.

762
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,760
While she looks for the location of that,

763
00:50:52,860 --> 00:50:54,920
I'll just let you know that the way that we prioritize

764
00:50:54,920 --> 00:51:00,520
the sidewalk project, there were three came from our asking

765
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:08,600
of which projects were main priority and so because of the limited availability of funding,

766
00:51:08,940 --> 00:51:13,260
we want to make sure that we prioritize the project from most important to least important.

767
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,280
And you want to finish a whole project first, right?

768
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:17,300
So that's all these.

769
00:51:17,620 --> 00:51:17,900
Yes, sir.

770
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:18,420
Absolutely.

771
00:51:19,180 --> 00:51:22,460
Right. We didn't want to start a project and not finish that project.

772
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:23,800
We wanted to do a project to decrease.

773
00:51:24,340 --> 00:51:24,620
Absolutely.

774
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:25,340
Yeah, that's good.

775
00:51:39,340 --> 00:51:44,580
Thank you very much and we'll see you at budget time, send with public hearing, thank you.

776
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:49,520
Next item is a consent agenda. Any items you've taken off the consent agenda for additional

777
00:51:54,180 --> 00:51:56,760
Okay. Any other ones?

778
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,640
Okay. Here are none other 10. Emotion to prove item 3A, B, D through

779
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:19,060
G. Motion to approve. Second. Second. I was able to say aye. Aye.

780
00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:28,340
All right.

781
00:52:28,340 --> 00:52:36,940
I assume this is basically the 2.6 that we approved to the development board, correct?

782
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,560
We only got 2.9.

783
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:40,980
Right.

784
00:52:41,220 --> 00:52:45,020
So the 2.6 was our estimate.

785
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:45,640
Okay.

786
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:52,060
When we went out to bid it, we actually found it in this contract, which has already been.

787
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:53,920
So it's excellent point.

788
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,040
We're going to have to use this figure in it in order to move forward.

789
00:52:58,060 --> 00:53:00,320
And this is actually a State Agency, Robert?

790
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,900
Yes, it's under the Texas D.I.

791
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:03,820
Cooper to purchase?

792
00:53:04,700 --> 00:53:05,180
Okay.

793
00:53:05,780 --> 00:53:09,500
Through Cooper to purchase, but it's not a State Agency that's doing the installation

794
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:09,960
or anything.

795
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:10,920
No.

796
00:53:11,380 --> 00:53:11,400
Okay.

797
00:53:11,940 --> 00:53:16,280
It's a combination of a local vendor's and a front data with the company's Office D.I.

798
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:17,560
Under the D.I.

799
00:53:19,380 --> 00:53:19,860
Okay.

800
00:53:19,860 --> 00:53:26,120
Okay, Robert is from Theta Consulting going to prioritize our installation.

801
00:53:26,540 --> 00:53:30,360
Do they have any other municipality that they're going to be working on at the same time?

802
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:30,640
Do you know?

803
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:38,560
Talking to Drew, who is actually sitting in the lobby, you know, we are his primary right

804
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:38,820
now.

805
00:53:39,460 --> 00:53:45,300
We're trying to get a thousand of these living here like holes active by August 31st.

806
00:53:45,420 --> 00:53:45,540
Great.

807
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:56,500
We talked about this at the budget workshop where we said that, you know, the original you said it could possibly be 600 feet, that 300 feet, most our telephone lines are within 300.

808
00:53:56,780 --> 00:54:02,020
So are you going to do an experiment first to make sure to see what the real range is in neighborhoods?

809
00:54:03,020 --> 00:54:08,740
Yes. Drew and I both have already been out looking at different neighborhoods. Drew is doing a wireless assessment right now.

810
00:54:08,740 --> 00:54:14,060
you know, we, you know, for example, in the district green, we have 1,400, you know,

811
00:54:14,060 --> 00:54:14,640
looking at light poles.

812
00:54:15,340 --> 00:54:20,220
You know, there, we may not put a light on an axis point on every pole, because they're

813
00:54:20,220 --> 00:54:20,740
close together.

814
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,180
We may have some poles that are too far apart.

815
00:54:23,460 --> 00:54:26,920
Well, we just have to run and do one or two stop divisions, residents.

816
00:54:28,020 --> 00:54:29,660
In that sense, you're going to start working.

817
00:54:29,980 --> 00:54:32,840
The motion was also that South Mac Allen was South of Pecan.

818
00:54:33,820 --> 00:54:37,400
Yep, and that's the directive that I gave through that we've been focused on.

819
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:43,780
There's much focus on South of Picon, those are the underserved neighborhoods and that way

820
00:54:43,780 --> 00:54:46,720
we can view a couple of birds in real life.

821
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:48,440
And then those are priorities.

822
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:54,920
Yeah, what is that plan to develop in Robert and Drew, will we, if we improve this, we'll

823
00:54:54,920 --> 00:55:00,560
just move forward, will we get a presentation on what areas are being covered, which form

824
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,340
we can be located where, how is that?

825
00:55:03,340 --> 00:55:09,180
Could have run out of money on every street just putting it on every goal that's no good, right?

826
00:55:11,690 --> 00:55:12,170
Go ahead, Drew.

827
00:55:13,090 --> 00:55:13,850
Drew's here, Robert.

828
00:55:14,130 --> 00:55:14,850
Yeah, that'd be good.

829
00:55:15,130 --> 00:55:16,050
So we could answer that.

830
00:55:16,110 --> 00:55:23,490
I want to make sure that we get coverage in areas that are obviously most at least, but you know,

831
00:55:23,590 --> 00:55:27,930
there's quite a lot of areas that are full of commercial districts that probably don't need

832
00:55:27,930 --> 00:55:31,030
as much as the residential areas or the parks or public areas.

833
00:55:31,530 --> 00:55:35,010
So, we don't want to lose resources on solar panels.

834
00:55:35,310 --> 00:55:37,730
Yeah, I'm not eating it as much as we can spend other areas.

835
00:55:38,170 --> 00:55:46,050
Correct. The first thing that we do is a design and engineering survey where we bring

836
00:55:46,050 --> 00:55:51,070
into account all of the poles and all the assets that are available to us in order for us to

837
00:55:51,070 --> 00:55:55,570
make sure that we know where that cover is going to be located and then we use that to design

838
00:55:55,570 --> 00:55:59,190
around the equipment that we order to make sure that it fits where it's supposed to.

839
00:55:59,190 --> 00:56:03,410
for example we don't cover areas like commercial areas or industrial zones

840
00:56:03,410 --> 00:56:07,750
that don't need it but we specify it directly into areas that do need it same as

841
00:56:07,750 --> 00:56:11,750
with vacant lots parking lots things like that if you'd like to make that if

842
00:56:11,750 --> 00:56:16,340
you'd like me to make that available I'll be more than happy to do that well right

843
00:56:16,340 --> 00:56:20,720
now I know there's some areas that service the Wilson Elementary School

844
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:25,200
and kids and I know some of the areas already that they're not getting

845
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:34,820
So maybe I don't know if the principal is in the office or there's a way that you can contact so that they can find out because I know that was addressed.

846
00:56:35,340 --> 00:56:38,160
Correct. What we can do is we can look at the existing map that's available.

847
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:45,580
I know Robert has one online where we can look at all the current coverage areas and we do take those into account to make sure we don't double up.

848
00:56:45,620 --> 00:56:46,740
That doesn't it doesn't make any sense.

849
00:56:46,740 --> 00:56:47,200
Okay.

850
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,180
Okay. Okay. All right. So then I have motion to approve.

851
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,880
Motion to approve. Thank you. I was in favor. Raise your hand.

852
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,340
Opposed? Same time. Motion carried. Thank you. Item 4A.

853
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:10,450
A is consideration and authorization to rescind a water contract with the Macon Public Safety Building,

854
00:57:10,650 --> 00:57:13,010
Monument Science and real estate.

855
00:57:15,450 --> 00:57:17,630
I'm sorry sir. How much does it cost per day?

856
00:57:19,650 --> 00:57:23,690
There's a cost to, well, for this particular one, we didn't reap it.

857
00:57:24,390 --> 00:57:26,230
I know, but I must do the cost to reap it.

858
00:57:27,530 --> 00:57:29,630
There's an advertising price purchasing.

859
00:57:30,030 --> 00:57:34,190
Does it, so I'm not too sure, and then the man hours to put those things together?

860
00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:38,010
Well, the things are already done, so it's just, it's not a redoing it.

861
00:57:38,430 --> 00:57:40,450
Because I'm more interested in...

862
00:57:40,450 --> 00:57:40,450
I

863
00:57:43,270 --> 00:57:45,970
don't feel like a child college or anything.

864
00:57:46,630 --> 00:57:48,890
Because the companies already know what it is.

865
00:57:48,890 --> 00:57:50,510
If they come back, they're going to come back lower.

866
00:57:51,530 --> 00:57:56,130
So, if the actual cost is $1,000, I think they're all rebelling.

867
00:57:58,770 --> 00:58:00,490
What was the reason for rescinding the bid?

868
00:58:01,130 --> 00:58:02,910
Oh, instead of going with the next little bit

869
00:58:02,910 --> 00:58:04,070
or your signature bid, I'm sorry.

870
00:58:04,210 --> 00:58:04,850
Let's try it all over you.

871
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,560
We could, what we tend to see, though,

872
00:58:10,220 --> 00:58:14,260
in the ones we have rebid, they see what the bids are,

873
00:58:14,420 --> 00:58:16,180
and the next ones are kind of close to each other.

874
00:58:17,140 --> 00:58:19,540
They just, I believe, one of their items

875
00:58:19,540 --> 00:58:25,940
might have been off. I think we'll see that the next two bidders are pretty close

876
00:58:25,940 --> 00:58:31,380
to each other. So we'll probably be within that same range. But we're here to do

877
00:58:31,380 --> 00:58:35,980
us as as your request. We could do either way. They do their homework in

878
00:58:35,980 --> 00:58:40,580
chances or they're going to come out on a complete. But my to answer commission

879
00:58:40,580 --> 00:58:46,600
or Joaquin's question we're rescinding it because he's withdrawn his bid. Oh yeah

880
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:47,700
That's a little bit.

881
00:58:48,820 --> 00:58:50,420
You know, one-o-six.

882
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,320
And that was one-o-six, right?

883
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:53,240
One hundred and six thousand.

884
00:58:53,660 --> 00:58:55,280
And then the next one will be the one-twenty-three.

885
00:58:55,460 --> 00:58:55,740
What's your name?

886
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,540
We're talking the one-twenty-six.

887
00:58:57,620 --> 00:58:58,340
You're a holler of it's more.

888
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,720
One-twenty-three, six, fifteen, and it's four-year-old.

889
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:01,560
Okay.

890
00:59:02,180 --> 00:59:02,260
Two.

891
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,100
Do we forfeit the bid ban?

892
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:05,300
We're doing that.

893
00:59:05,460 --> 00:59:06,500
We're in a process of doing it.

894
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:07,100
That's a remedy.

895
00:59:07,620 --> 00:59:07,780
Yes.

896
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:08,860
Forfeit the bid ban, so.

897
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:10,720
So, we have any confusion?

898
00:59:11,500 --> 00:59:11,580
Huh?

899
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:12,940
Well, how much is the amount of the bond?

900
00:59:13,660 --> 00:59:13,860
Do we know?

901
00:59:14,180 --> 00:59:14,760
It's a difference.

902
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:22,440
I assume you're referring to the yüzio.

903
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,600
Yeah, but it's the majority of the camp commission.

904
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:28,500
Right, so we're right.

905
00:59:28,620 --> 00:59:34,940
The low bidder has recended the bid and when we're requesting it's to award to the next low bidder.

906
00:59:35,380 --> 00:59:38,280
So not advertised again the too award to the next low bidder.

907
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:44,720
Is there real urgency to have this complete with this but you're we've been doing quite a bit of work at PD

908
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:50,820
I don't know if you all have noticed with of course the parking garage and then the badge and so this is part of that

909
00:59:51,540 --> 00:59:55,860
I'm gonna say facelift to the facility so we would like to get this moving

910
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,860
It would just be that advertising, I think you mentioned it's about a thousand and we advertise it twice about two thousand. One here from the bankers. I'm just wondering if it's, if it's necessary. You know, I mean, it's, I mean, it's a big difference. I mean, you see, really the only thing different here is that we're acknowledging that it's the jail. I'm just wondering how necessary.

911
01:00:29,860 --> 01:00:34,540
the design is there at the PD, please don't know.

912
01:00:34,660 --> 01:00:36,440
Oh, you're saying to go ahead and advertise again?

913
01:00:36,820 --> 01:00:39,460
I mean, we're here if that is your wish,

914
01:00:39,620 --> 01:00:40,800
we can certainly do that.

915
01:00:41,020 --> 01:00:41,980
We can go back to that.

916
01:00:41,980 --> 01:00:43,040
How much is it going to go down?

917
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:44,220
I mean, what's going to be the decrease?

918
01:00:44,540 --> 01:00:45,340
We don't know.

919
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:46,060
We don't know.

920
01:00:46,220 --> 01:00:49,180
But the difference is like from the 1 to 3 minus the 1 or 6,

921
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,300
that's a 17, like about a $17,000 difference.

922
01:00:53,500 --> 01:00:55,520
And then the cost of the cost of the marketing

923
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:56,580
will be $1,000.

924
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,780
I was actually asking, you know, how

925
01:00:58,780 --> 01:01:04,300
how necessary the sign is, how much, how much is going to add to our bill, to the building

926
01:01:04,300 --> 01:01:04,580
that's there?

927
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:05,020
That's one more.

928
01:01:05,820 --> 01:01:06,840
It's about 40 years.

929
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:08,260
So I have an interest in it.

930
01:01:08,940 --> 01:01:13,800
One of the first, I had that whole building in the library was it did not have a street

931
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:14,380
sign on it.

932
01:01:14,980 --> 01:01:19,980
So that was a kind of a makeover of that, it's a metal thing that has fallen part of the

933
01:01:19,980 --> 01:01:20,160
building.

934
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:27,340
So that's why we're going to be fixed, mine or something.

935
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,760
We're fixing lots of different things with this project.

936
01:01:33,540 --> 01:01:36,700
One of them is all the lighting in the parking lot, but it's a part.

937
01:01:36,700 --> 01:01:39,680
So, we're going to describe it in English.

938
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,160
I'll apply some sidewalk lines.

939
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:46,020
Very nice.

940
01:01:46,420 --> 01:01:47,540
We're going to have a few lines.

941
01:01:48,180 --> 01:01:51,160
Not only the sidewalk, but also the back parking lot

942
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,140
that was not touched by anyone running for parking lots.

943
01:01:54,700 --> 01:01:57,960
So, it's misleading in the sense that we're looking at an on-hand side.

944
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,240
But an on-hand side project includes all the lighting,

945
01:02:01,900 --> 01:02:04,580
removal of some bolts, adding some sidewalk lighting

946
01:02:07,380 --> 01:02:12,580
Okay, great, and the funding sources from

947
01:02:12,580 --> 01:02:13,220
property money.

948
01:02:14,460 --> 01:02:18,780
So the difference is, we're hoping we'll cover

949
01:02:18,780 --> 01:02:20,840
56 on another or so.

950
01:02:20,940 --> 01:02:23,880
Which is about the difference between the original

951
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,960
open and the next phase, the variation of the

952
01:02:32,570 --> 01:02:39,310
Well, at these financial times, I think we can save a little bit even though we expand

953
01:02:40,010 --> 01:02:41,070
maybe a few weeks.

954
01:02:41,650 --> 01:02:44,590
I think that's going to be $123, and we're going to send you a doubt.

955
01:02:45,690 --> 01:02:46,090
Okay.

956
01:02:46,330 --> 01:02:47,050
What's the motion?

957
01:02:47,510 --> 01:02:49,970
I like a motion to take the second and highest, better.

958
01:02:50,090 --> 01:02:50,410
I'll second.

959
01:02:50,850 --> 01:02:51,090
Okay.

960
01:02:51,710 --> 01:02:52,730
Any further discussion?

961
01:02:53,250 --> 01:02:53,450
Here none.

962
01:02:53,590 --> 01:02:54,830
I'll never say aye.

963
01:02:55,130 --> 01:02:55,330
Aye.

964
01:02:56,010 --> 01:02:56,250
Opposed?

965
01:02:56,370 --> 01:02:57,230
Same time motion, Kerry.

966
01:02:57,730 --> 01:02:57,930
Okay.

967
01:02:58,530 --> 01:02:58,790
Opposed?

968
01:02:58,790 --> 01:03:04,350
four. Oh, we're opposed. Okay. Two opposed. Okay. Let's 1, 2, 3, 2, okay.

969
01:03:06,690 --> 01:03:07,210
All right.

970
01:03:08,770 --> 01:03:16,330
Three, two, those are one and three to two. Yeah. Oh, four. We're more than this. This

971
01:03:16,330 --> 01:03:22,870
I have my certificate for the test.

972
01:03:22,930 --> 01:03:23,750
Fifty, two.

973
01:03:24,010 --> 01:03:24,170
Yeah.

974
01:03:24,410 --> 01:03:24,550
Fist off.

975
01:03:24,550 --> 01:03:27,590
If I get two, you're officially won.

976
01:03:28,070 --> 01:03:28,330
Four-stride and divided.

977
01:03:28,330 --> 01:03:28,590
Four-stride, five-toes.

978
01:03:28,590 --> 01:03:29,030
Five-toes.

979
01:03:29,170 --> 01:03:29,990
Five-toes.

980
01:03:29,990 --> 01:03:32,270
Four-stride, five-toes.

981
01:03:32,510 --> 01:03:33,510
Seven members, yeah.

982
01:03:33,810 --> 01:03:34,190
The mayor.

983
01:03:34,330 --> 01:03:36,470
You're going to disregard.

984
01:03:36,610 --> 01:03:37,250
You have to vote too?

985
01:03:37,510 --> 01:03:39,070
No, I can't get to vote, because it's for the two.

986
01:03:39,070 --> 01:03:43,810
So, county vote when it's necessary, break the tie or make a tie.

987
01:03:43,810 --> 01:03:44,610
Oh, why need you now.

988
01:03:47,630 --> 01:03:52,570
Actually, on the dog one, I didn't have to vote because it wasn't six votes, so, if I

989
01:03:52,570 --> 01:03:53,710
just said I wasn't voting, you wouldn't.

990
01:03:53,790 --> 01:03:54,890
Okay, we're not going back to that one.

991
01:03:56,330 --> 01:03:56,550
Okay.

992
01:03:57,110 --> 01:03:57,950
Even at the city.

993
01:03:58,190 --> 01:03:59,050
Yeah, that's, we're done.

994
01:03:59,510 --> 01:04:01,190
Okay, so that's a B.

995
01:04:02,330 --> 01:04:06,350
B's procidoration and Authorization of Extension of Contract from the Guarawatts for Consulting

996
01:04:06,350 --> 01:04:06,690
Services.

997
01:04:06,690 --> 01:04:14,330
This is American Commission, McGuire Woods is our consultant for legislative issues and other in Austin.

998
01:04:15,190 --> 01:04:25,910
They have been with the City of McAllen for about five years, four or five years, and you've got a proposal here to extend their contract in talking to McGuire Woods.

999
01:04:26,430 --> 01:04:36,110
They actually have agreed to reducing their fee by $1,500 a month, which is $18,000 a year from $6,500 a month to $5,000 a month.

1000
01:04:36,110 --> 01:04:42,250
And that's the only thing I don't like is the second to the last paragraph, but really

1001
01:04:42,250 --> 01:04:43,330
doesn't make much of a difference.

1002
01:04:45,340 --> 01:04:50,920
And I would like to know what was, because I remember this was just when I started as

1003
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:51,360
commissioner.

1004
01:04:52,100 --> 01:04:58,800
Like, what was the difference between that time and this time to justify us giving them

1005
01:04:58,800 --> 01:04:59,600
their contract again?

1006
01:04:59,980 --> 01:05:05,440
Because I remember, if I recall, that last, that, me, we had them, it was like, okay, so

1007
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,440
So they got the from Geeta and there was other stuff.

1008
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,140
So I would actually like for them to come.

1009
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:16,040
It was a presentation of what they did since last time

1010
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,140
to this time, that was different from the previous years.

1011
01:05:20,940 --> 01:05:23,380
And this is I remember, it was one of the first couple

1012
01:05:23,380 --> 01:05:24,820
meetings that I had as a commissioner.

1013
01:05:24,820 --> 01:05:25,680
I was like, no, no, no, no.

1014
01:05:26,700 --> 01:05:29,100
And I get it, they want to reduce their fees.

1015
01:05:29,500 --> 01:05:32,980
But I would like to really know what they did this last year.

1016
01:05:33,460 --> 01:05:34,300
That was the difference.

1017
01:05:34,300 --> 01:05:38,820
that made the difference. So I rather put them on a workshop. Make a make a

1018
01:05:38,820 --> 01:05:42,580
motion to table it subject to workshop. I moved to table and that we have this

1019
01:05:42,580 --> 01:05:47,940
working workshop. Before we vote so what when is the contract end? Do we have

1020
01:05:47,940 --> 01:05:53,040
time? For a year. Where does it end for them now? At the end of June. So next week.

1021
01:05:54,620 --> 01:05:58,060
Next meeting. Next meeting. So we don't eat them in the month of July because there's

1022
01:05:58,060 --> 01:06:04,140
no until August. We need them year-round. Okay so we need can we

1023
01:06:04,140 --> 01:06:06,880
Well, I'm sure to wait to the next meeting.

1024
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:08,100
That's not a bad thing.

1025
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:10,140
But I don't know whether we want them here though.

1026
01:06:10,500 --> 01:06:13,580
Just to do something because it's expensive to get them here.

1027
01:06:14,260 --> 01:06:14,960
We can do.

1028
01:06:15,180 --> 01:06:16,640
Well, I think it's not important to get them here.

1029
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,380
No, I think it's important because I remember

1030
01:06:18,380 --> 01:06:21,840
this was a big issue when I first got here because they

1031
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,780
did give us a brief summary of what they had done.

1032
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:26,960
And we're like, OK, well, what else did you do for us?

1033
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,660
And then so now that the year has left,

1034
01:06:30,860 --> 01:06:33,600
I want to know what they did different from last year

1035
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,740
to this year to justify us giving them their contract again.

1036
01:06:37,020 --> 01:06:42,520
Mayor, I'm in agreement to table a non-OK or an open to doing the Zoom, but I would like

1037
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:47,520
to see a PowerPoint presentation and have that PowerPoint presentation made available

1038
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:52,420
to us before the meeting so that we have adequate time before the meeting so we can review

1039
01:06:52,420 --> 01:06:56,140
and ask those questions and make it more expeditious because I do agree with your concerns.

1040
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:02,080
And I know there's a lot of local lobbyists that would like to have an opportunity to throw

1041
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:07,820
bit for this type of contract and I think we should open it up but first that's why last year I

1042
01:07:07,820 --> 01:07:14,160
told them you guys better show what you got and if you don't show it we're gonna open up a bit

1043
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:19,940
and we're gonna hopefully we'll have other people to represent the city of Macau. So hopefully they did

1044
01:07:19,940 --> 01:07:27,680
it they hopefully they showed them the results different from last year. So my question at the same time

1045
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,580
So because we're going to have a workshop which is fine, I agree.

1046
01:07:31,780 --> 01:07:32,640
Can I just make a suggestion?

1047
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:37,400
Well, I know how you're in the meantime, we have one more week with them.

1048
01:07:37,580 --> 01:07:38,580
We're going to have no contract.

1049
01:07:41,180 --> 01:07:42,800
Well, extended for one month.

1050
01:07:43,780 --> 01:07:45,020
Yeah, well just extended for the next one.

1051
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,540
So that's included in your motion extended for one month.

1052
01:07:47,540 --> 01:07:48,060
Have a workshop.

1053
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:53,420
And just be clear, I recommend that it not be a workshop, that it would be an executive session.

1054
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:56,220
We discuss a lot over the years.

1055
01:07:56,220 --> 01:07:59,780
Yeah, we can go in an executive session during the workshop when they get that

1056
01:07:59,780 --> 01:08:03,560
here. They can provide us a presentation about what they've been doing in a

1057
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:07,960
video. Sure. No, yeah, there's things you want to discuss. But they'll be

1058
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,300
appropriate. We'll get the City Attorney's Advice going executive session. They

1059
01:08:10,300 --> 01:08:15,280
can come and give us a presentation that I just posted when I worked. I think

1060
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,620
they'll be glad to be here. I think they were going to be here today and I suggest

1061
01:08:18,620 --> 01:08:22,420
that it was unnecessary. Oh, okay. One of them's from here.

1062
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:31,740
Okay motion to table with all those conditions with extension in one month of the contract. All those in favor say aye aye

1063
01:08:31,740 --> 01:08:48,440
I always say I motion carried wrote just one point of clarification. We're requiring to be here present in person. Yes, we're I think it's yeah, I think that's important. Well, we're saying that we're not thankful. No, okay. No problem. That was easy. See. Thank you.

1064
01:08:48,440 --> 01:08:53,700
Consideration approval of contract amendment number four for additional professional services and I'm going to do it more

1065
01:08:53,700 --> 01:08:58,380
This is at the request of CBP. Is that correct?

1066
01:09:01,140 --> 01:09:08,120
Second okay motion and second any questions here none I was a fair say aye. Hi motion same motion carried D

1067
01:09:09,220 --> 01:09:11,520
My centennial blue line bridge improvements

1068
01:09:13,260 --> 01:09:17,160
Yes, sir, so for this what we're calling through a drainage

1069
01:09:18,440 --> 01:09:24,460
bond project. We received two bids on June 4th and this project consists of bridge improvements

1070
01:09:24,460 --> 01:09:29,540
of four locations along by Centennial. The locations are at Harvey, Highland, Lubby, St.

1071
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:36,960
Temerak. Staff recommends a word of contract to the low-responsive bidder for each project and it

1072
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:42,480
just so happens to be the same bidder, go underground, LLC, Harlow, and Texas. In the total bid amount of

1073
01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:49,040
one million five million, sorry, in a total bit amount of $4,692,930.74.

1074
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,400
Can you tell us just a little bit what we're doing there?

1075
01:09:52,020 --> 01:09:52,620
Yes, ma'am.

1076
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:57,940
We are installing box culverts at those bridge locations.

1077
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,460
So we're doing modifications to those bridges.

1078
01:10:02,020 --> 01:10:05,440
At Harvey, Lovey Stent, and Tamarack, at Highland,

1079
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:09,700
we are removing that bridge and replacing it

1080
01:10:09,700 --> 01:10:10,860
with a pedestrian bridge.

1081
01:10:10,860 --> 01:10:13,520
That's a roadway that we have closed off with a bicycle

1082
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,060
project several years back.

1083
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,060
So we're eliminating that bridge up for there.

1084
01:10:18,620 --> 01:10:21,520
And we are coming in with box culverts at those three,

1085
01:10:21,700 --> 01:10:23,480
Harvey Lovey-Stat-Anne.

1086
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:27,340
And a box culvert, a concrete box.

1087
01:10:27,500 --> 01:10:31,200
So 12 by 12 box and at Harvey and Lovey-Stat-Anne,

1088
01:10:31,380 --> 01:10:32,460
it's 10 by 10 box ads.

1089
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,080
There's a water then just flow in the ditch,

1090
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:36,420
the open ditch on the other side,

1091
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,620
on the east side of the bicycle tenure, or what?

1092
01:10:38,620 --> 01:10:43,280
So it's going, instead of having a bridge structure, we're going to have boxes connecting

1093
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:43,700
the.

1094
01:10:43,820 --> 01:10:45,060
I can close into the ditch.

1095
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:45,460
Okay.

1096
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:46,080
It goes north.

1097
01:10:46,260 --> 01:10:47,520
It's going to become like Marlana, right?

1098
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:49,340
Is that what?

1099
01:10:49,980 --> 01:10:50,040
Yes.

1100
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,740
And then, and Highlands is going to be just a pedestrian bridge.

1101
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:55,980
Highlands is going to be just a pedestrian bridge.

1102
01:10:56,580 --> 01:10:59,500
Is it, is it improve the drainage or just the mechanism then?

1103
01:10:59,700 --> 01:11:06,920
So those, those existing bridge structures needed repair and to reduce the amount of repair

1104
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,120
in the future, we're coming in with a box.

1105
01:11:09,300 --> 01:11:11,920
So these are not new drainage.

1106
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:13,020
No, they're just improved.

1107
01:11:13,140 --> 01:11:14,140
That's their maintenance.

1108
01:11:15,260 --> 01:11:16,380
Oh, okay, okay.

1109
01:11:17,260 --> 01:11:18,560
Okay, any other questions?

1110
01:11:19,540 --> 01:11:20,520
Intertain a motion to approve?

1111
01:11:20,820 --> 01:11:21,360
No, I'll approve.

1112
01:11:21,900 --> 01:11:23,320
The second, I was in favor say aye.

1113
01:11:23,460 --> 01:11:23,640
Aye.

1114
01:11:24,180 --> 01:11:25,700
Oh, the same time motion carried.

1115
01:11:26,180 --> 01:11:26,640
What is it?

1116
01:11:27,740 --> 01:11:28,940
Okay, so we did?

1117
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:29,880
Did we do this?

1118
01:11:29,980 --> 01:11:30,420
No, we didn't.

1119
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,120
This is for the General Fund Mayor,

1120
01:11:32,260 --> 01:11:34,480
providing for a budget amendment to the General Fund.

1121
01:11:35,300 --> 01:11:39,460
It was suggested again by the City Commission that we bring this sooner rather than later.

1122
01:11:40,780 --> 01:11:47,700
So based on the mental that we put together a few months back, and what we've seen so

1123
01:11:47,700 --> 01:11:53,660
far on expenses and revenues and the last self-touch report, we're recommending that at

1124
01:11:53,660 --> 01:12:00,600
a minimum we do a budget amendment and the amount of pre-region 350,494 to come from fund balance

1125
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:04,200
in order to balance the budget.

1126
01:12:05,020 --> 01:12:11,500
In addition to that, you want you to consider removing the hold of the CIP projects.

1127
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,220
Those are projects that all of you voted on during budget.

1128
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:15,440
They're all important.

1129
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:20,600
Not all of them are important to everyone, but all of them are important to somebody.

1130
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:23,940
And so we can either go through the list.

1131
01:12:25,540 --> 01:12:26,840
How many projects are there?

1132
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:37,040
There it's it's this long list of projects. We recommend that we remove the whole on all of them and if you do that

1133
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:39,960
It

1134
01:12:42,390 --> 01:12:43,750
would be an additional

1135
01:12:43,750 --> 01:12:49,070
$2.843 million and that would mean

1136
01:12:50,130 --> 01:12:55,470
Going into the reserve fund in the amount of six million one hundred ninety three thousand

1137
01:12:56,650 --> 01:12:57,090
$861.

1138
01:12:57,510 --> 01:12:58,630
Do you recommend the option to?

1139
01:12:59,230 --> 01:12:59,590
Yes.

1140
01:12:59,730 --> 01:13:02,270
So how many days were that leave us in?

1141
01:13:02,590 --> 01:13:02,870
One, two.

1142
01:13:03,010 --> 01:13:03,510
Over the requirement.

1143
01:13:04,910 --> 01:13:05,350
170.

1144
01:13:05,810 --> 01:13:06,010
Okay.

1145
01:13:06,630 --> 01:13:08,090
And we're going to recoup that or play that.

1146
01:13:08,090 --> 01:13:09,750
No, that's for the first one.

1147
01:13:10,270 --> 01:13:10,550
How?

1148
01:13:11,390 --> 01:13:12,910
I think it's $1.16.

1149
01:13:13,110 --> 01:13:13,710
You know, $1.59.

1150
01:13:14,130 --> 01:13:15,150
$1.17 is here.

1151
01:13:15,670 --> 01:13:16,030
$1.16.

1152
01:13:16,170 --> 01:13:16,450
$1.16.

1153
01:13:17,850 --> 01:13:19,050
We're not, we won't recoup it.

1154
01:13:19,230 --> 01:13:24,710
The only upside would be that our forecast is,

1155
01:13:24,710 --> 01:13:30,650
This is worse than reality shows us in the next few months, which we all hope in

1156
01:13:30,650 --> 01:13:35,910
the last week's report, that's a possibility, but that's still what we recommend.

1157
01:13:36,110 --> 01:13:37,430
What's our forecast?

1158
01:13:38,010 --> 01:13:40,350
How does it look in terms of Philips Act revenue per month?

1159
01:13:41,330 --> 01:13:49,490
We were projecting about a 40% decrease for the rest of the year, and well, in terms of

1160
01:13:52,310 --> 01:13:59,190
I guess June, July, August and September, so we have come on up, so let's go ahead and

1161
01:13:59,190 --> 01:13:59,410
come here.

1162
01:14:00,570 --> 01:14:09,290
In terms of the next four months, I'm wondering how our projections look in terms

1163
01:14:09,290 --> 01:14:12,930
of what has happened in the last months or so that how does it compare?

1164
01:14:13,950 --> 01:14:41,930
The original projections for, I think, believe March and April sales tax based on the percentage we have on retail makes about 70% of those sales tax that we collected and with the assumption of the closures and the stay home orders, you know, I had this made about 41% losses of sales tax those first two March April May and then trying to smooth it out with businesses reopening to an average of 25%.

1165
01:14:41,930 --> 01:14:46,310
5% from March sales tax through September sales tax.

1166
01:14:47,090 --> 01:14:52,450
And so the forecast eventually smoothed out about roughly 25%, but for those first few

1167
01:14:52,450 --> 01:14:58,210
months where we anticipated retail to take care, I was estimating 41%.

1168
01:14:58,210 --> 01:14:59,970
So June 2st

1169
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,980
September, we're I don't know anticipating 25% less than same month prior year. It may be a slightly favorable estimate because at the front of those 40% they can't remember how I tapered it off towards the end. I think those increments of 15%. So you end up at 35, 25, 15. Of course, all this is without Mexico shoppers because they push back.

1170
01:15:29,980 --> 01:15:32,660
to July 22nd at this point, right?

1171
01:15:33,460 --> 01:15:35,480
So we have the March numbers, right?

1172
01:15:35,480 --> 01:15:35,900
March in line?

1173
01:15:36,440 --> 01:15:43,400
Yes, we have April's, which was I think a 30% less than last year's.

1174
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:44,180
Well, what do we have?

1175
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,800
It was a little, it was a 10% better.

1176
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:48,540
Yeah, it was a 10% better, right?

1177
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:48,860
Yes.

1178
01:15:49,220 --> 01:15:49,380
Okay.

1179
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:50,860
What are we at for May?

1180
01:15:51,060 --> 01:15:51,560
Do you have a reference?

1181
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:53,180
Nothing yet.

1182
01:15:53,300 --> 01:15:56,380
We won't have those till July, around the second week of July.

1183
01:15:56,660 --> 01:15:58,600
We're being conservative, I guess, with our budget numbers.

1184
01:15:58,940 --> 01:15:59,220
Yeah.

1185
01:15:59,220 --> 01:15:59,780
Yeah, good.

1186
01:15:59,960 --> 01:16:00,200
Good, conservative.

1187
01:16:00,700 --> 01:16:00,820
Yeah.

1188
01:16:01,180 --> 01:16:01,520
Most definitely.

1189
01:16:01,780 --> 01:16:01,860
Okay.

1190
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:04,700
I'm really trying to save you some money

1191
01:16:04,700 --> 01:16:05,620
with a money one sign.

1192
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:10,840
I tried, I tried, then I didn't go too far.

1193
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,680
I had a question, and I realized it's only general fun,

1194
01:16:14,700 --> 01:16:17,040
but we have like a 20% turn over year.

1195
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,020
And one of the cost saving benefits was we weren't going

1196
01:16:20,020 --> 01:16:21,720
to replace higher any new hires

1197
01:16:22,260 --> 01:16:23,760
and or replace people who left.

1198
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,500
So I'm, and I can't see that number being very significant

1199
01:16:27,500 --> 01:16:36,500
here. So I'm assuming that people haven't left or I'm looking at just your total operating

1200
01:16:36,500 --> 01:16:41,900
expenses from your original budget and adjusted budget to this one if that was one of our

1201
01:16:41,900 --> 01:16:47,760
major's cost savings was not if you left we didn't we had some maybe $1.1 million and

1202
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:54,220
it's not quite that then not replacing. Yeah you're still you're only like about I don't

1203
01:16:54,220 --> 01:16:58,340
what the number is, but it's the total number is less than 700,000.

1204
01:16:58,900 --> 01:16:59,080
Right.

1205
01:16:59,300 --> 01:17:02,520
Because there's, you know, thousands of lines and everything.

1206
01:17:02,700 --> 01:17:02,860
Yeah.

1207
01:17:02,900 --> 01:17:03,580
And that's one of them.

1208
01:17:03,620 --> 01:17:06,100
But I was, could we get a report on how much we actually,

1209
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,960
some of those cost-saving things we've actually done besides

1210
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:10,280
freezing capital budget?

1211
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:11,380
Yeah.

1212
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:12,320
Appreciate that.

1213
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:14,360
Okay.

1214
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:18,680
So do we have to do one for the other?

1215
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:20,320
Or can we do that?

1216
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,500
Well, we recommend that a minimum you've got to close the gap,

1217
01:17:23,500 --> 01:17:28,750
Which is the 3.3 million dollars and then the other is totally up to you

1218
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,680
What projects you want to do if you want to do any of them? We can leave all of them on hold

1219
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,480
one two five

1220
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:43,220
Whatever projects you want to release yeah that kind of another question is we've expended some of these

1221
01:17:43,220 --> 01:17:48,540
funds here in relationship to the coronavirus which which will be reimbursed

1222
01:17:48,540 --> 01:17:52,540
So that's not accounted for here because some of these expenses are

1223
01:17:52,540 --> 01:18:01,740
So whatever that is you'll be making when we receive some of those funds will that help us to sure it goes right into the fund balance

1224
01:18:01,740 --> 01:18:08,580
Yeah, absolutely. And we've had we submitted over $5 million expenses Friday, even if we're at a

1225
01:18:08,580 --> 01:18:15,400
lot of packet expenses, even if we're at 160 days of working capital that's still quite a bit over our

1226
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:21,180
Yes, it's very still very and still much higher than many other cities have some area

1227
01:18:21,860 --> 01:18:29,700
I'll make a motion to a group option to for author our authorization of budget amendment of 6.193.8

1228
01:18:29,700 --> 01:18:32,760
You want to do the whole thing it was? I'll hold on for a second. I'll hold on for a second, the motion

1229
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:34,620
No, no, but

1230
01:18:34,620 --> 01:18:36,660
And maybe this just

1231
01:18:38,100 --> 01:18:44,400
So we're putting on hold like a whole bunch of projects that we have which is the landscaping parks and everything

1232
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:50,100
This is 3.4 million and yet we're not putting on hold or press box for 1.1 million dollars. Thank you

1233
01:18:50,820 --> 01:18:56,580
I'm sorry. I'm just saying because we're putting on hold our projects our city projects and we're going to cut

1234
01:18:56,580 --> 01:19:05,880
3.4 out of those projects which I'll say that I rather have my parks be inclusive then do a press box at at the high school

1235
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:11,940
And I appreciate that commissioner, but my criteria was very simple if a project was in process

1236
01:19:11,940 --> 01:19:16,640
it was not going to be frozen. Now you all can make a different decision but

1237
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:21,480
that was a decision I had to make in March to stop projects and that was the

1238
01:19:21,480 --> 01:19:25,780
criteria that I use. Because if we stop that one we can find a whole bunch of

1239
01:19:25,780 --> 01:19:30,620
these. I'm recommending you fund them all. I mean I'm recommending we fund them all.

1240
01:19:32,780 --> 01:19:39,520
And we'll still be ahead of the game. But we'll still be ahead of the ball game if we go

1241
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:44,500
that route. No but that's that there's other things going on in that fund and so

1242
01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:50,360
all we need is 2.8 right on to cover these from the one through 20. Yes right

1243
01:19:50,980 --> 01:19:57,920
option two fun zones. That's what you made a motion for. Yes. Okay so everybody

1244
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:03,380
clear what the option option is to amend the budget to take fun balance to pay for

1245
01:20:03,380 --> 01:20:05,240
of these items, including option two.

1246
01:20:05,460 --> 01:20:05,740
Hi.

1247
01:20:06,260 --> 01:20:06,640
That's it.

1248
01:20:07,180 --> 01:20:07,660
OK.

1249
01:20:07,860 --> 01:20:08,700
It's a big, big number.

1250
01:20:08,940 --> 01:20:09,060
Oh.

1251
01:20:09,060 --> 01:20:09,340
A big number.

1252
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,600
Hopefully the county will read the story about this.

1253
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:14,100
Right.

1254
01:20:14,180 --> 01:20:15,140
Well, don't talk us out of it.

1255
01:20:15,340 --> 01:20:15,520
OK.

1256
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:18,080
How do you favor to say hi?

1257
01:20:18,460 --> 01:20:18,720
Hi.

1258
01:20:19,440 --> 01:20:20,700
At the same time, Ocean Carey.

1259
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:21,420
Oh, that hurts.

1260
01:20:21,580 --> 01:20:22,020
OK, let's go.

1261
01:20:22,340 --> 01:20:26,420
Item 5B, abandonment of 10 feet by 1320 feet

1262
01:20:26,420 --> 01:20:28,740
at lot 16 Rosalindus subdivision.

1263
01:20:30,580 --> 01:20:31,440
We don't need it.

1264
01:20:31,980 --> 01:20:32,200
Huh?

1265
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:33,660
No, we don't need it.

1266
01:20:33,980 --> 01:20:34,120
No.

1267
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:35,420
I can motion that.

1268
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:36,480
I move to approve.

1269
01:20:36,700 --> 01:20:37,340
I can need it.

1270
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:38,820
And where is it?

1271
01:20:39,440 --> 01:20:40,500
What's the address, though?

1272
01:20:40,580 --> 01:20:41,180
It's one lot.

1273
01:20:41,540 --> 01:20:43,420
And so you have a whole street that's not going to be.

1274
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:45,520
It's all developed and you got one lot.

1275
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:46,400
So you make them.

1276
01:20:46,500 --> 01:20:47,760
They'll never be paved again.

1277
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,140
Because you have to do the whole darn street.

1278
01:20:49,300 --> 01:20:50,900
And it's never going to happen.

1279
01:20:51,260 --> 01:20:51,820
Is that my heart?

1280
01:20:52,700 --> 01:20:52,900
Yeah.

1281
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:53,340
Right.

1282
01:20:53,780 --> 01:20:53,860
Yeah.

1283
01:20:54,460 --> 01:20:54,720
Okay.

1284
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:55,500
That's the recommendation.

1285
01:20:55,860 --> 01:20:58,620
It's just five or six blocks.

1286
01:20:59,300 --> 01:21:01,960
Five or six blocks.

1287
01:21:02,180 --> 01:21:04,120
I can't do it, no. Second.

1288
01:21:04,580 --> 01:21:04,880
Sir.

1289
01:21:05,140 --> 01:21:06,020
I'm favor say aye.

1290
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:06,360
Aye.

1291
01:21:06,900 --> 01:21:07,660
Close to each time.

1292
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:08,180
Motion carried.

1293
01:21:08,740 --> 01:21:09,600
Six A.

1294
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:13,020
Six A is consideration of a variance to the paving

1295
01:21:13,020 --> 01:21:14,980
drainage and sidewalk requirements for the tree

1296
01:21:14,980 --> 01:21:15,980
apartments of this.

1297
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:17,640
And what's the address for this one?

1298
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:19,220
My, my, my life.

1299
01:21:19,300 --> 01:21:19,640
Out north.

1300
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:20,120
It's north.

1301
01:21:20,580 --> 01:21:25,500
This is on, on Taylor Road, north of Expressway, the

1302
01:21:25,500 --> 01:21:26,080
south of business.

1303
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:28,760
So the, the tree apartments subdivision, it's a

1304
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,460
commercial subdivision, approximately 1,500 feet

1305
01:21:31,460 --> 01:21:33,300
north of the expressway on Taylor Road.

1306
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:35,520
Through part of the subdivision process,

1307
01:21:35,660 --> 01:21:37,400
the developers required to build or escrow

1308
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:38,880
for the paving drainage and sidewalk

1309
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:40,460
improvements along Taylor Road.

1310
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:44,920
The cost of these improvements is estimated

1311
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:47,660
97,000 in 24 dollars and 50 cents.

1312
01:21:48,300 --> 01:21:51,080
The developer is requesting consideration

1313
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:52,900
to allow the escrow to funds.

1314
01:21:54,020 --> 01:21:57,280
Instead of prior to the subdivision process,

1315
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:59,800
he's asking for it to be submitted

1316
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:09,180
within 30 days after closing and this one before the Public Utility Board for a similar type of request for water and sewer and was approved.

1317
01:22:09,380 --> 01:22:13,820
It also went before City Condition for Parks fees, I believe, and approved as well.

1318
01:22:14,420 --> 01:22:19,780
So staff is recommending approval of that request because similar types of requests have previously been approved.

1319
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,880
With the condition that the payment be made no later than 30 days after closing.

1320
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:24,780
So moved.

1321
01:22:25,180 --> 01:22:26,000
Which one option?

1322
01:22:26,420 --> 01:22:26,500
No.

1323
01:22:26,900 --> 01:22:27,300
Motion.

1324
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:27,640
Second.

1325
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:32,120
And we ultimately have a remedy on building permits and I can use them as part of the bill.

1326
01:22:32,220 --> 01:22:32,420
Okay.

1327
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:34,040
Any further discussion?

1328
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:35,600
I just want clarification.

1329
01:22:36,300 --> 01:22:42,420
The motion to just simply approve the variance or approve the variance with the condition that if it's not paid, the building permits will be revoked.

1330
01:22:42,660 --> 01:22:42,780
Yes.

1331
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:43,380
With the condition.

1332
01:22:44,220 --> 01:22:44,360
Yeah.

1333
01:22:44,460 --> 01:22:44,780
Do it.

1334
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:45,400
Right.

1335
01:22:45,820 --> 01:22:46,900
We have conditions.

1336
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:47,640
Okay.

1337
01:22:47,700 --> 01:22:48,420
All in favor say aye.

1338
01:22:48,620 --> 01:22:48,920
Aye.

1339
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:55,660
We'll see him sign motion carried consideration of a grant request to waive the paving and drainage requirements for a surprise surprise

1340
01:22:55,660 --> 01:23:03,220
Thank you surprise subdivision is a one-law to multi-family residential subdivision that's located at the southwest corner of Dallas and

1341
01:23:03,220 --> 01:23:09,140
Ninth Street and as part of the subdivision process they're required to build or escrow for the paving and drainage improvements

1342
01:23:10,180 --> 01:23:11,980
along nine streams

1343
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,620
In looking at this request, although there is no additional

1344
01:23:16,620 --> 01:23:20,660
right away required, the requirement was five additional feet of pavement.

1345
01:23:21,180 --> 01:23:25,220
Looking at the surrounding area, there is existing carbon gutter along

1346
01:23:25,220 --> 01:23:30,680
ninth street, and it is an existing 30 foot width of pavement.

1347
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,920
The request for the five additional feet is because ultimately that section of

1348
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:36,240
street should be 40 feet.

1349
01:23:36,780 --> 01:23:41,660
But seeing as there is carbon gutter on both sides of the street already in

1350
01:23:41,660 --> 01:23:43,860
in place, staff recommends approval of the variance request.

1351
01:23:45,580 --> 01:23:47,320
Okay, your motion, any discussion?

1352
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:49,160
You're not in any motion?

1353
01:23:49,940 --> 01:23:51,980
Excuse me, I have a motion here in this recommendation.

1354
01:23:52,740 --> 01:23:53,220
Second.

1355
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:54,880
No discussions?

1356
01:23:55,500 --> 01:23:56,240
I was better say aye.

1357
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:58,460
I opposed same-sign motion, carried.

1358
01:24:01,630 --> 01:24:02,930
Next item of the variance request,

1359
01:24:03,150 --> 01:24:05,050
the way the pavement and pavement requirements are low

1360
01:24:05,050 --> 01:24:05,630
to the cinos.

1361
01:24:06,770 --> 01:24:07,350
This is formed.

1362
01:24:07,650 --> 01:24:09,690
Similar to the other requests, there are paving

1363
01:24:09,690 --> 01:24:12,950
and drainage requirements for this subdivision.

1364
01:24:12,950 --> 01:24:14,390
and there's a little Senceema subdivision,

1365
01:24:14,510 --> 01:24:18,090
a single family residential subdivision of 83 lots.

1366
01:24:18,690 --> 01:24:20,770
It's located at the northeast corner of Benson

1367
01:24:20,770 --> 01:24:21,870
and Newhouse Drive.

1368
01:24:22,750 --> 01:24:26,910
And instead of meeting the requirement

1369
01:24:26,910 --> 01:24:29,550
for building or estruing the paving drainage

1370
01:24:29,550 --> 01:24:32,190
and sidewalk improvements for Newhouse Drive,

1371
01:24:32,790 --> 01:24:35,230
the half associates, the developer's agent,

1372
01:24:35,470 --> 01:24:39,090
is requesting to weigh the requirements

1373
01:24:39,090 --> 01:24:40,010
for Newhouse Drive.

1374
01:24:40,650 --> 01:24:44,850
Currently, New House is a 20-foot wide rural roadway section.

1375
01:24:44,970 --> 01:24:48,350
There is not curbing gutter, there's a roadside swell in that area.

1376
01:24:51,330 --> 01:24:57,530
A couple years ago, in 2017, a new single family residential subdivision of four lots on the south side of New House

1377
01:24:58,190 --> 01:25:01,950
went through the subdivision process and is still going through the subdivision process.

1378
01:25:02,250 --> 01:25:04,710
They were required to widen.

1379
01:25:04,930 --> 01:25:06,530
They have not completed the improvements, however.

1380
01:25:07,230 --> 01:25:08,550
They are still within the process.

1381
01:25:08,550 --> 01:25:13,990
There is an exhibit showing the length of new house that the subdivision is requesting

1382
01:25:13,990 --> 01:25:14,930
to wave the requirements.

1383
01:25:15,770 --> 01:25:18,270
Staff recommends disapproval of this service request.

1384
01:25:18,610 --> 01:25:19,210
Disapproval?

1385
01:25:19,530 --> 01:25:19,910
Disapproval?

1386
01:25:22,170 --> 01:25:22,830
Okay.

1387
01:25:23,670 --> 01:25:25,610
Here's the recommendation to have motion.

1388
01:25:27,250 --> 01:25:27,410
Okay.

1389
01:25:29,130 --> 01:25:30,030
Move the disapproval?

1390
01:25:30,210 --> 01:25:30,770
Disapproval.

1391
01:25:31,070 --> 01:25:31,130
Okay.

1392
01:25:32,030 --> 01:25:32,150
Yeah.

1393
01:25:32,150 --> 01:25:32,230
Yeah.

1394
01:25:32,790 --> 01:25:33,750
Nobody says that.

1395
01:25:34,390 --> 01:25:34,950
That's it.

1396
01:25:35,390 --> 01:25:35,790
Thank you.

1397
01:25:35,870 --> 01:25:35,890
Thank you.

1398
01:25:37,150 --> 01:25:37,590
Sure.

1399
01:25:37,770 --> 01:25:38,230
Come on forward.

1400
01:25:38,870 --> 01:25:43,490
You know, I had a question because Newhouse, where's the exit and that entrance on this subdivision?

1401
01:25:43,810 --> 01:25:44,210
In Benson?

1402
01:25:44,850 --> 01:25:45,910
On Benson and Newhouse.

1403
01:25:46,230 --> 01:25:46,770
And Newhouse?

1404
01:25:47,390 --> 01:25:47,550
Oh.

1405
01:25:49,830 --> 01:25:49,850
Huh?

1406
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:56,120
You start to see the, you know, the feasibility of finding it right now.

1407
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,840
What is going to look like a swing?

1408
01:25:59,420 --> 01:26:00,480
It's just a lot of something.

1409
01:26:00,700 --> 01:26:03,720
There's going to be a big pose there because there's nothing to the, uh,

1410
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:32,300
Between there and where road you're talking about you're saying from your south

1411
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:36,740
east corner to where road there's nothing that's not

1412
01:26:36,740 --> 01:26:38,060
available property.

1413
01:26:41,140 --> 01:26:45,300
All the homes around the north side going east you have to

1414
01:26:45,300 --> 01:26:47,520
vibe that all that the homes to be able to go right in the

1415
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:47,740
road.

1416
01:26:48,540 --> 01:26:50,760
Well, we disapproved you so that we weren't going to do it.

1417
01:26:51,340 --> 01:26:52,580
We didn't ask for it.

1418
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:53,100
I mean, we're here.

1419
01:26:53,300 --> 01:26:55,160
We were all in the end and we asked the people.

1420
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,940
No, the motion was disapproval of the variance.

1421
01:26:58,480 --> 01:26:59,500
We didn't vote on it yet.

1422
01:27:00,020 --> 01:27:12,240
The thing is this area, I'm actually very familiar with this area, it's a beautiful piece of land, it has a big potential to have these beautiful subdivisions in there, and I think if you're going to start doing it, do it right.

1423
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:20,720
I understand that, but you can't develop anything to the south of it, you've got probably a 500 year flood, it goes into the old, the old...

1424
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:21,700
That's why, where they're doing?

1425
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:23,460
That's why, where was they're doing?

1426
01:27:23,460 --> 01:27:24,360
No, I know.

1427
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,860
I've also, you know, the engineering, иdisapproves of it.

1428
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,880
Where is the plan that they're going to widen that road?

1429
01:27:31,060 --> 01:27:31,720
I'm going to see it.

1430
01:27:32,060 --> 01:27:33,580
I mean, I didn't mind the contributor,

1431
01:27:34,100 --> 01:27:36,980
if you can tell me that you're going to continue that road.

1432
01:27:37,440 --> 01:27:38,280
Show me a plan.

1433
01:27:38,780 --> 01:27:41,740
So I'll tell you, if you're planning on finally developing the area,

1434
01:27:42,020 --> 01:27:42,920
I want to hold in there too.

1435
01:27:44,300 --> 01:27:47,280
But I'm going to show you that you can't build up the property on this outside.

1436
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,520
So I think probably, I don't know how to present you

1437
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,720
to probably take it back here,

1438
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,180
you can probably 500, you can put anything to this house.

1439
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:55,720
And then I think you're talking about,

1440
01:27:55,740 --> 01:27:56,820
if you ever drive down the road,

1441
01:27:57,020 --> 01:27:58,680
you're committed to almost having nice homes

1442
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,780
to ride up on that 24,

1443
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,280
because those homes were built probably outside of the city

1444
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:04,260
at that time.

1445
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:05,000
And they were made homes.

1446
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:05,860
Yeah, they're beautiful.

1447
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,000
How about we table it?

1448
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:10,340
And then we have a discussion about it,

1449
01:28:10,440 --> 01:28:13,480
because those lots, they're beautiful.

1450
01:28:14,300 --> 01:28:14,680
They're beautiful.

1451
01:28:14,980 --> 01:28:16,400
And I think that it's very beautiful.

1452
01:28:18,820 --> 01:28:28,360
I was looking to buy a property in there, so I could go to my house, but I moved to table, so we can have a discussion.

1453
01:28:30,220 --> 01:28:33,480
We have a motion to table. Can I ask a question before?

1454
01:28:33,480 --> 01:28:38,320
Yeah, emotional disapproval, looking to do emotional tabloids.

1455
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,100
We have a call.

1456
01:28:40,580 --> 01:28:41,300
I'll tell you.

1457
01:28:41,480 --> 01:28:42,500
Why wouldn't you.

1458
01:28:42,820 --> 01:28:43,400
That area?

1459
01:28:44,140 --> 01:28:45,080
I'm very familiar.

1460
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:47,660
I want to cook.

1461
01:28:47,660 --> 01:28:48,420
Let's try to make it work.

1462
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:52,340
Newhouse tribe is a real bad intersection with where I wrote.

1463
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:55,840
And there is only a couple houses that use that road, right?

1464
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:00,900
Why wouldn't you, like, dead end Newhouse

1465
01:29:00,900 --> 01:29:04,600
drive at the southwest corner of that subdivision so you wouldn't have that

1466
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,780
problem and everybody have to use Benson Road then for access.

1467
01:29:10,180 --> 01:29:10,660
I'm just saying

1468
01:29:10,660 --> 01:29:14,380
that they would to me that would solve the traffic problem of dumping all that

1469
01:29:14,380 --> 01:29:14,840
traffic.

1470
01:29:19,500 --> 01:29:21,800
That's what I'm saying. For Benson is your

1471
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:26,720
ingress and egress and it stops the problem of wear road and new house drive

1472
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:31,140
traffic with all that traffic speed and going in there and then the people that

1473
01:29:31,140 --> 01:29:34,020
I live there still have access to four or five houses still have access.

1474
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:36,120
True way, because I put that way.

1475
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:37,200
That way, and there's a lot of people.

1476
01:29:40,110 --> 01:29:42,890
Yeah, you know, okay, but you got to motion a table.

1477
01:29:43,570 --> 01:29:45,570
Why do you want a table getting to get more information?

1478
01:29:45,810 --> 01:29:49,050
To get more information and see if we could try to work it out because those,

1479
01:29:50,550 --> 01:29:55,050
they have a really nice potential to have some very nice subdivisions there in this report.

1480
01:29:55,370 --> 01:29:57,330
Yeah, but that's what I was saying.

1481
01:29:57,330 --> 01:29:59,490
and you do bench and roadies, you're ingressin' egressin'.

1482
01:29:59,490 --> 01:29:59,590
Yes.

1483
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:04,040
I know.

1484
01:30:07,020 --> 01:30:28,320
We have to undo this motion. No. We have a motion to disapproved. You want to look into it? There's a potential of working something out. I'll withdraw my motion. Okay. The motion is table. You got a second? Okay. I'll infer say. Hi. Hi. Okay. It's table. So.

1485
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:40,120
I think you know the question for us was a all or nothing and so maybe staff come up with something else

1486
01:30:58,500 --> 01:31:05,240
But if we could we could solve the new house drive on to where road project it would be okay

1487
01:31:06,660 --> 01:31:07,480
So let's take

1488
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:15,120
The next item is a presentation of the link when tax collection report

1489
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:26,920
Good evening, American missioners Kelly saw us on behalf of line barter Goggin Blair and Samson to present

1490
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:31,960
A delinquent tax collection report for February 1 through May 31, 2020.

1491
01:31:32,660 --> 01:31:37,700
Our delinquent tax collection program for the City of McAllen continues to focus on two basic premises.

1492
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:45,300
The first is to work with the individual tax payer first, and secondly, use the tools litigation only as the final option to collect.

1493
01:31:46,020 --> 01:31:56,420
During this reporting period, we completed three demand mailings, mailing over 8,800 statements on average $1.9 million.

1494
01:31:56,420 --> 01:32:03,480
dollars in base tax and P and I during this period. We've had over 205 individuals walk

1495
01:32:03,480 --> 01:32:09,240
in to any one of our four locations in Hidalgo County to which are very convenient to the

1496
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:16,760
city of McAllen residents one on McCall and one on North Kent Street. We had over 3,199

1497
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:23,240
phone calls and we conducted over 287 property inspections, although we put those on hold

1498
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:27,400
during this period, but we're able to complete 287 prior to COVID.

1499
01:32:28,420 --> 01:32:33,120
Regarding our litigation, we have filed 69 interventions or lawsuits,

1500
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:38,140
disposed of 66, and pending litigation as of June 2020.

1501
01:32:38,140 --> 01:32:45,720
We have 388 lawsuits pending, representing over $1.1 million in base penalty interest owed to the city.

1502
01:32:46,620 --> 01:32:49,020
We regularly conduct tax sales and

1503
01:32:49,020 --> 01:32:52,820
sales on judgments with little to no effort to pay.

1504
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:57,960
Of course, we put those on hold during this period.

1505
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:11,040
We conducted a tax sale in February, placing one property for sale, and I'm sorry, one sale was completed in February.

1506
01:33:11,100 --> 01:33:18,820
We placed two properties for sale in the City of McCown, resulting in over 4,300 in Deliquant Taxes,

1507
01:33:18,820 --> 01:33:27,960
collected as a courtesy, we collect the City of McCown's mowing leans, and due to those properties, we were able to collect $2,275 in mowing leans.

1508
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:31,980
And now going to the collection highlights for February through May.

1509
01:33:32,420 --> 01:33:42,620
You'll notice that during this reporting period, we collected $368,308 in face taxes, over $131,000 in penalty and interest.

1510
01:33:42,620 --> 01:33:52,660
this for total collections of $499,000 over $499,000, which is a decline compared to last year.

1511
01:33:53,220 --> 01:34:02,540
We started seeing a decline in our collection responses, beginning spring break, mid March.

1512
01:34:03,020 --> 01:34:08,420
And since then, we've been working towards getting those improved using all of the collection

1513
01:34:08,420 --> 01:34:11,860
as best as we can during this period.

1514
01:34:12,460 --> 01:34:17,380
We thought it was important to let you know what the year-to-date collections are for the City of McCallan.

1515
01:34:17,540 --> 01:34:23,680
You'll note that our total collections based penalty and interest are over $1.2 million a year-to-date,

1516
01:34:23,940 --> 01:34:28,620
which is on track compared to last year, despite the pandemic, very happy with that.

1517
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:33,180
Looking forward to the future, we will continue to monitor accounts,

1518
01:34:33,180 --> 01:34:42,120
Filing accounts on delinquent amounts owed on accounts owing two or more years, we will continue with our mailing program.

1519
01:34:42,440 --> 01:34:53,380
We actually have a compassionate mailing that we do taking full account of the difficult times facing delinquent taxpayers in this area.

1520
01:34:53,780 --> 01:34:59,620
Do our best to educate them and encourage them to make payment arrangements as best they can for the city.

1521
01:35:00,440 --> 01:35:04,300
That concludes my link with tax collection report, we have to answer any questions that you

1522
01:35:04,300 --> 01:35:04,880
might have.

1523
01:35:05,820 --> 01:35:06,580
Any questions?

1524
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:07,980
No, she answered the right one.

1525
01:35:08,220 --> 01:35:08,440
I ask.

1526
01:35:09,140 --> 01:35:11,000
On the litigation, what's the difficult time, Brenda?

1527
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:14,200
One of them wants to get to the litigation that he doesn't resolve.

1528
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,640
That's a very good question, and there's no hard and fast rule.

1529
01:35:19,620 --> 01:35:23,540
There's a lot of factors that play into how fast or how Celia case takes to resolution

1530
01:35:24,140 --> 01:35:28,500
factors such as the number of parties that need to be given, notice, and served with a

1531
01:35:28,500 --> 01:35:34,760
lawsuit, the difficulty in obtaining service. Some parties need to be served via what's called a

1532
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:41,360
site by posting, which requires a longer period of time. But to answer your question kind of

1533
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:49,100
a more simpler way, six to nine months on the more easier accounts to get service, including all

1534
01:35:49,100 --> 01:35:55,220
parties and title, and could be a couple years or more on those more difficult accounts.

1535
01:35:55,220 --> 01:35:58,500
And in case, is one case more property?

1536
01:35:59,300 --> 01:36:05,220
No, if a delinquent taxpayer owns multiple accounts, we'll include all of those accounts

1537
01:36:05,220 --> 01:36:09,500
as best we can into the lawsuit to save the taxpayer money and to expedite the price

1538
01:36:09,500 --> 01:36:10,000
as well.

1539
01:36:12,010 --> 01:36:15,850
And I'm sure you all have a plan in place already because of COVID-19 and because you're

1540
01:36:15,850 --> 01:36:19,270
getting less and less response, you're going to give them more time.

1541
01:36:19,830 --> 01:36:22,950
I mean, you have an option plan in place.

1542
01:36:23,230 --> 01:36:23,670
Yes, Commissioner.

1543
01:36:23,670 --> 01:36:34,210
We also utilize a code specific to our office to note individuals who have asserted difficulty due to the pandemic so we can be a little bit more sensitive to those situations as well.

1544
01:36:36,130 --> 01:36:46,930
I know on some small accounts it becomes difficult to get through all of them, I guess you could say.

1545
01:36:46,930 --> 01:36:57,990
Okay. What methods are used to remind and or encourage the property owner to pay up?

1546
01:36:58,290 --> 01:36:59,950
Let's say they're four or five years past two.

1547
01:37:00,650 --> 01:37:02,370
Did you say the smaller accounts?

1548
01:37:02,630 --> 01:37:04,290
Yes, smaller residential accounts.

1549
01:37:04,830 --> 01:37:12,750
Sure. We'll utilize telephone calls, letters, sometimes we'll leave a knock on those taxpayers' door

1550
01:37:12,750 --> 01:37:19,330
or if they are clustered in an area where we have higher delinquency accounts and it

1551
01:37:19,330 --> 01:37:23,410
just makes sense if there's someone that knows a little smaller map but you're in the

1552
01:37:23,410 --> 01:37:25,870
neighborhood to go pay them a visit as well.

1553
01:37:26,310 --> 01:37:33,010
But you keep track, keep records of all that you're doing especially with, I mean in every

1554
01:37:33,010 --> 01:37:34,130
account, right?

1555
01:37:34,450 --> 01:37:34,850
Yes, we do.

1556
01:37:34,930 --> 01:37:36,390
Okay, and you have that available to the city?

1557
01:37:36,890 --> 01:37:37,110
Yes.

1558
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:40,880
Any other questions?

1559
01:37:41,980 --> 01:37:42,240
Okay.

1560
01:37:42,500 --> 01:37:42,820
Thank you.

1561
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:43,260
Thank you.

1562
01:37:43,260 --> 01:37:43,880
We have a great evening.

1563
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:44,260
Thank you.

1564
01:37:44,460 --> 01:37:44,940
Thank you.

1565
01:37:45,020 --> 01:37:46,320
Back of your up next.

1566
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:50,300
Right now, can you imagine?

1567
01:37:52,590 --> 01:37:53,670
You weren't getting it anyway for me.

1568
01:37:54,370 --> 01:37:55,850
Good evening, Mr. Mayor of City Commission.

1569
01:37:56,830 --> 01:38:02,710
Before you have the year-to-day collection report from October the 9th, October 2019 through May 31, 2020.

1570
01:38:03,270 --> 01:38:07,830
This year's beginning balance was 49 million nine sixteen three seventy five eighty eight.

1571
01:38:08,930 --> 01:38:14,790
The year-to-day base collected was 47 million six forty eight seven thirty five fifty four.

1572
01:38:14,790 --> 01:38:19,910
leaving a receivable balance of $2,253.466.66.

1573
01:38:20,450 --> 01:38:24,450
That brings our year-to-day collection rate to 95.29%.

1574
01:38:24,850 --> 01:38:27,830
And if you look at last year's report to the right,

1575
01:38:28,110 --> 01:38:30,490
you can see that last year's collection rate

1576
01:38:30,490 --> 01:38:33,090
for the same time period was 95.16.

1577
01:38:33,950 --> 01:38:37,710
So actually, we have a slight increase from last year.

1578
01:38:38,730 --> 01:38:40,710
Towards the middle of the report, you're going to see a breakdown

1579
01:38:40,710 --> 01:38:41,830
by property type.

1580
01:38:41,830 --> 01:38:50,610
You have a real estate we have collected 44 million 171 810 oh nine that brings our year-to-date rate of 95.40 percent

1581
01:38:50,610 --> 01:38:59,630
For personal property we collected 5 million 610 690 to 80 which is 94.76 percent in mobile homes

1582
01:38:59,630 --> 01:39:09,550
106.671 11 which is 80.76 percent and in minerals 27,000 to a 188 which is 98.50 percent

1583
01:39:09,550 --> 01:39:14,830
So again, our year two day collection rate is at 95.29.

1584
01:39:15,530 --> 01:39:19,750
At the bottom of the report, you'll see additional collection fees, which Kelly has gone

1585
01:39:19,750 --> 01:39:21,350
over the prior year collections.

1586
01:39:22,410 --> 01:39:25,670
In the condition penalties, we have collected 47,5305.

1587
01:39:27,470 --> 01:39:29,250
I'll skip the penalty and interest in attorney fees.

1588
01:39:29,590 --> 01:39:32,250
We have tax certificates in $580.

1589
01:39:32,950 --> 01:39:35,450
Return checks for $275.

1590
01:39:35,450 --> 01:39:42,030
dollars, rollback collections $59,719.82, and we're also collecting for the public improvement

1591
01:39:42,030 --> 01:39:46,650
district for Therese Lagos, and that is $127,248.10.

1592
01:39:47,890 --> 01:39:49,150
If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer.

1593
01:39:50,510 --> 01:39:58,030
So we won't really know this next tax year till usually after December or January before

1594
01:39:58,030 --> 01:39:58,990
the delinquency date.

1595
01:39:59,310 --> 01:40:04,250
So we've done well for this tax year, even with the co-virus, because most people pay

1596
01:40:04,250 --> 01:40:05,730
maybe four or five years so, right?

1597
01:40:06,030 --> 01:40:06,450
That is correct.

1598
01:40:06,790 --> 01:40:11,070
We won't really know the virus effect until later on

1599
01:40:11,070 --> 01:40:13,490
in the after the first quarter of the fiscal year,

1600
01:40:14,170 --> 01:40:15,970
really, in the next fiscal year.

1601
01:40:16,270 --> 01:40:19,590
We, I did see a small decrease in the collections

1602
01:40:19,990 --> 01:40:25,810
for the month of April, but then may really picked up.

1603
01:40:26,570 --> 01:40:28,430
And right now, it was almost,

1604
01:40:29,150 --> 01:40:30,150
when the third week of June,

1605
01:40:30,310 --> 01:40:32,990
and I have seen a slight decrease compared to last year.

1606
01:40:32,990 --> 01:40:40,330
So we hit our budget plus this year I mean as far as the collections. Yes, we've done really really good

1607
01:40:40,910 --> 01:40:41,390
Okay

1608
01:40:42,350 --> 01:40:45,730
Any other questions? Okay, thank you. Thank you

1609
01:40:47,790 --> 01:40:49,870
Investment report or the investment report

1610
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:57,740
Thank you, Mayor

1611
01:41:00,820 --> 01:41:07,020
The item before you is the quarterly investment port for the month and the March 30th or for the quarter and the March 31st 2020

1612
01:41:07,620 --> 01:41:13,040
the report is prepared in compliance with the City's investment policy and with the Public

1613
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:19,360
Funds Investment Act. The report was presented to the Investment Committee on May 20th and was approved.

1614
01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:25,560
Page 1 presents a summary of the quarter's performance to the right side of the page.

1615
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:33,120
You'll see March 31st, 2020 quarter on that table. If you look at the book value, that's what's reflected in our general ledger.

1616
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:39,640
for the quarter ending March 31st, we had 4.2 million in our bank account.

1617
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:49,740
We had another roughly 101.1 million in text pool and we had roughly 185 million sitting

1618
01:41:49,740 --> 01:41:51,060
in securities and CDs.

1619
01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:56,240
The average yield for the portfolio for that quarter was 1.78 percent.

1620
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:03,060
Could you give us a more recent update, not necessarily total, but where we are in relationship

1621
01:42:03,060 --> 01:42:04,660
the interest rates in budget?

1622
01:42:06,340 --> 01:42:12,840
As far as interest in budget, I think we're on track to meeting the budget the last time

1623
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:13,240
I looked.

1624
01:42:13,900 --> 01:42:19,900
I don't have the current rate because we do have a mix of investments and so the Treasury

1625
01:42:19,900 --> 01:42:24,500
Department, our Treasury Management does a real good job of mixing in CDs and other types

1626
01:42:24,500 --> 01:42:24,900
of investments.

1627
01:42:25,020 --> 01:42:31,400
So we have a rolling balance so right around that 1.7, 1.6% were able to maintain that rate

1628
01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:35,020
based on the CDs that were going out for more than a year.

1629
01:42:35,440 --> 01:42:42,460
So we'll hit our budget districts next fiscal year that we would have to have the impact because we use the under budget on interest rates.

1630
01:42:42,700 --> 01:42:48,040
And so we made up the falling interest rates with the over with the under budget.

1631
01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:52,900
Yeah, we do have some long term investments that kind of protect us from that.

1632
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:55,820
And we have seen some drop in our text pool or prime account.

1633
01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:59,860
It hasn't been as significant as we originally thought, but it is decreasing.

1634
01:43:00,380 --> 01:43:02,340
but then we'll jump on some CDs.

1635
01:43:03,300 --> 01:43:04,600
Okay, thank you. Any other questions?

1636
01:43:05,100 --> 01:43:07,920
Tell us at the drop in the interest income.

1637
01:43:08,820 --> 01:43:11,300
What's the ability to refinance on the death now?

1638
01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:15,220
That does make sure he's coming up and start looking at that.

1639
01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:18,180
We do that constantly, Commissioner.

1640
01:43:19,440 --> 01:43:23,900
In fact, we had a discussion with our financial advisor last month.

1641
01:43:25,500 --> 01:43:28,000
The hard part right now was that it was so volatile.

1642
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:33,280
and it was it was hard to predict what we could do but we'll keep looking

1643
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:38,940
and we have some securities of the five or six percent of it and the question I

1644
01:43:38,940 --> 01:43:44,020
don't think we've got any that high but we'll check it out. Is the because the

1645
01:43:44,020 --> 01:43:49,760
viruses are rating is it they're rating go down at all? No not yet anyway yeah

1646
01:43:50,220 --> 01:43:53,640
man there's a little bit of uncertainty in the market because of the

1647
01:43:58,660 --> 01:44:01,860
Okay. Any other questions? Thank you very much.

1648
01:44:02,020 --> 01:44:02,340
Okay.

1649
01:44:06,180 --> 01:44:06,620
Investment.

1650
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:10,040
Lift fund.

1651
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:12,420
Well, the lift fund, we already know.

1652
01:44:13,540 --> 01:44:15,020
Yeah, isn't it? We're not doing.

1653
01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:17,500
Are they on hold?

1654
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:17,680
Yes.

1655
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:17,840
Yes.

1656
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:21,160
The investment for actually needs to be accepted and approved.

1657
01:44:21,660 --> 01:44:23,740
We need to approve the investment in a second.

1658
01:44:24,620 --> 01:44:25,380
I was a per se aye.

1659
01:44:25,460 --> 01:44:25,680
Aye.

1660
01:44:26,260 --> 01:44:26,740
I'm sorry.

1661
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:28,360
We accepted.

1662
01:44:28,540 --> 01:44:29,600
We don't approve the investment.

1663
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:31,440
Can

1664
01:44:33,930 --> 01:44:34,590
we all know?

1665
01:44:35,150 --> 01:44:35,270
Yeah.

1666
01:44:35,710 --> 01:44:36,230
Is that what you accepted?

1667
01:44:38,440 --> 01:44:40,140
Uh, lift fund ready.

1668
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:41,280
Yeah, whatever you lift fund.

1669
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:42,460
Where is the button?

1670
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,980
Not the

1671
01:44:48,220 --> 01:44:48,800
new lift fund.

1672
01:44:48,900 --> 01:44:50,040
We know what happened to that, right?

1673
01:44:50,340 --> 01:44:50,800
No, it's not.

1674
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:51,500
Right?

1675
01:44:51,900 --> 01:44:52,620
We're there tonight.

1676
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:53,520
Okay.

1677
01:44:53,660 --> 01:44:53,680
Okay.

1678
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:53,740
Okay.

1679
01:44:53,740 --> 01:44:59,080
That we weren't closing any loans because they didn't take it right the report

1680
01:45:05,860 --> 01:45:29,400
So, as you know, lift from the staff a little bit on the CD criteria that would have to impose an order to use $700,000 to be identified for these months. So, as said, we're not able to use it in that way, as they're not able or willing to meet that criteria. Right. So, we've that has some additional categories of ideas.

1681
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:43,120
Okay, also mentioned that it's my understanding that the CDBG requirements were going to make it pretty strict for our power.

1682
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:52,100
Okay, so it's not, it wasn't mostly lip fund that they weren't able to facilitate our request.

1683
01:45:52,100 --> 01:45:59,680
Yes, it was more that once they looked at HUD requirements and the way that it's outlined,

1684
01:46:01,540 --> 01:46:04,680
yeah, it's not going to be as a disaster type of loan anymore.

1685
01:46:04,860 --> 01:46:08,920
It's going to be a traditional kind of SBA type of loan where you've got collateral that's going to require.

1686
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:14,060
So once they saw the requirements of HUD, then they said, you know what?

1687
01:46:14,140 --> 01:46:15,400
It's not going to meet your needs anymore.

1688
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:16,880
It's what I heard.

1689
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:24,040
The primary criteria was that they were going to have to account for at least one job for a period of three years.

1690
01:46:24,420 --> 01:46:27,060
Right. For low, that's part of it.

1691
01:46:27,260 --> 01:46:29,800
That was it, primarily.

1692
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:38,580
For one job, because it was up to $35,000, it would have to retain one low income job for up to a period of three years.

1693
01:46:38,580 --> 01:46:39,960
For a return to one job?

1694
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:40,860
Retain one job.

1695
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:44,800
So then why would Liffa not want to continue with the program then?

1696
01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:51,220
Well, because if they get a, they can't, that one person can't get a raid or a promotion

1697
01:46:51,220 --> 01:46:51,960
nothing, right?

1698
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:56,360
No, they just, they can't be fired, or they can't be like, oh, long long long.

1699
01:46:56,380 --> 01:47:00,120
You have to stay in for three years, or whatever, but it is actually, it is actually a full-time

1700
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:00,840
equivalent position.

1701
01:47:01,020 --> 01:47:06,880
Even if that person moves on and is no longer low income, someone else can maintain the position.

1702
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:08,760
They just have to maintain the position.

1703
01:47:09,100 --> 01:47:13,220
They can't maintain one full-time employee for the duration of the period.

1704
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:17,900
is that that difficult.

1705
01:47:22,030 --> 01:47:26,070
This is for the loan, right? Yes. Yes. Yeah, because I call for

1706
01:47:26,070 --> 01:47:29,570
some. So what are the options? About the grant. Are we having problems with the grant?

1707
01:47:29,730 --> 01:47:35,050
Or just a loan? The grant? It does hurt. Yeah, that's okay. I think they're going to start

1708
01:47:35,050 --> 01:47:39,050
with their part of casume with the grants approved and allocated. The grant's working well.

1709
01:47:39,050 --> 01:47:39,990
Oh yeah, it's just a loan.

1710
01:47:40,910 --> 01:47:41,990
That's the chamber.

1711
01:47:42,230 --> 01:47:45,470
The code with that name for CDG is what we have

1712
01:47:45,470 --> 01:47:48,270
to send with us dollars of the liquid funds.

1713
01:47:48,630 --> 01:47:49,890
There are some other options for the team.

1714
01:47:50,730 --> 01:47:51,330
All due is in.

1715
01:47:51,530 --> 01:47:55,030
We asked horrible homes to take a look at it

1716
01:47:55,030 --> 01:47:56,850
and they're supposed to report back to us, OK?

1717
01:47:57,130 --> 01:47:57,690
And who else?

1718
01:47:58,110 --> 01:47:59,430
I don't know who else it doesn't.

1719
01:48:00,310 --> 01:48:02,010
What other options do we have?

1720
01:48:02,150 --> 01:48:05,750
So for other options, there are a myriad of CDG,

1721
01:48:05,990 --> 01:48:07,670
regular CDG programs that are eligible.

1722
01:48:07,670 --> 01:48:14,450
So summer public services, summer construction, within your packet, there was a quick guide to what HUD put out is

1723
01:48:14,450 --> 01:48:24,170
eligible for CDVG COVID money. So there's some testing information here. We did under the COVID money put a hundred thousand dollars to go to UTRGV for some testing.

1724
01:48:25,150 --> 01:48:26,330
There are

1725
01:48:26,330 --> 01:48:30,030
regularization activities if we need to quarantine individuals.

1726
01:48:30,790 --> 01:48:32,310
That can be considered

1727
01:48:32,310 --> 01:48:36,530
We, like I said, a lot of public activities, anything that we can do.

1728
01:48:36,910 --> 01:48:42,710
The economic development activity that we've proposed, can still be looked at under another

1729
01:48:42,710 --> 01:48:46,810
organization if that is the will of the commission.

1730
01:48:46,990 --> 01:48:51,750
But there's no actual grant allowance anymore, like the Chambers Grants, no.

1731
01:48:52,290 --> 01:48:55,850
Not under the CDBG program, it was intended to be set up as a loan.

1732
01:48:56,630 --> 01:49:00,990
And we still were looking at small businesses and microenterprises, as was discussed earlier.

1733
01:49:00,990 --> 01:49:02,930
I have at home, home residential.

1734
01:49:03,470 --> 01:49:05,110
What do we do this just for the franchises?

1735
01:49:05,290 --> 01:49:06,470
Like the ones that don't qualify?

1736
01:49:06,510 --> 01:49:09,350
Also, I'm asking, they don't qualify for the grant.

1737
01:49:09,670 --> 01:49:10,970
So we can add them here.

1738
01:49:11,790 --> 01:49:14,070
And I think they would be able to qualify a little,

1739
01:49:14,210 --> 01:49:17,910
because they usually have like the 725 employees.

1740
01:49:18,450 --> 01:49:19,950
So they could qualify in this

1741
01:49:19,950 --> 01:49:21,790
and then just leave everybody else inside the grant.

1742
01:49:21,790 --> 01:49:23,350
How about the, you're going to add the,

1743
01:49:23,590 --> 01:49:25,070
whoa, the franchise, not the residential?

1744
01:49:25,690 --> 01:49:26,770
Why don't, why don't we do it,

1745
01:49:27,010 --> 01:49:29,010
if, if, if, Florida homes gets back to us,

1746
01:49:29,010 --> 01:49:31,030
which they should read in the next day or two.

1747
01:49:31,630 --> 01:49:32,490
And they can't do it.

1748
01:49:32,810 --> 01:49:34,270
Let's do an alternative so they don't have to wait

1749
01:49:34,270 --> 01:49:34,950
another meeting.

1750
01:49:35,270 --> 01:49:36,390
But if she's going to go to franchise,

1751
01:49:36,590 --> 01:49:38,050
why can't we add the residential home?

1752
01:49:38,190 --> 01:49:39,030
Well, they're not going to meet it.

1753
01:49:39,670 --> 01:49:41,650
I mean, if your regular small business didn't

1754
01:49:41,650 --> 01:49:43,490
didn't meet the criteria for them,

1755
01:49:43,750 --> 01:49:46,470
then the small Joe in the home working at home,

1756
01:49:46,630 --> 01:49:47,190
they're not going to meet it either.

1757
01:49:47,550 --> 01:49:49,990
So if anything, the ones that would qualify for this

1758
01:49:49,990 --> 01:49:51,190
will probably be the franchises,

1759
01:49:51,390 --> 01:49:52,190
like the bigger businesses.

1760
01:49:52,410 --> 01:49:54,430
But who's going to administer all that, yeah?

1761
01:49:55,670 --> 01:49:56,910
Well, we need to.

1762
01:49:56,910 --> 01:49:57,450
Jevette.

1763
01:49:57,970 --> 01:49:58,450
Jevette?

1764
01:49:59,050 --> 01:49:59,530
Jevette?

1765
01:50:00,350 --> 01:50:01,110
What's your vote?

1766
01:50:01,850 --> 01:50:02,330
Jevette?

1767
01:50:02,330 --> 01:50:02,450
I think the ones here are no.

1768
01:50:02,690 --> 01:50:04,850
If they be sure to give you about $700,000,

1769
01:50:05,270 --> 01:50:06,830
so if we do continue with

1770
01:50:06,830 --> 01:50:08,270
the premises that were established in your list,

1771
01:50:08,430 --> 01:50:10,910
which is about $25,000 per enterprise,

1772
01:50:10,950 --> 01:50:11,930
we're still looking at assisting

1773
01:50:11,930 --> 01:50:15,450
about 20, 5 to 28 businesses is what,

1774
01:50:15,990 --> 01:50:17,710
is how far the funds would be extended.

1775
01:50:18,450 --> 01:50:19,690
And that would amount to-

1776
01:50:19,690 --> 01:50:21,510
And with that, could he be a person?

1777
01:50:21,770 --> 01:50:23,270
Or different type of projects

1778
01:50:23,270 --> 01:50:24,670
that doesn't until that time.

1779
01:50:24,670 --> 01:50:26,670
I think we should wait for four months.

1780
01:50:26,810 --> 01:50:30,970
Yeah, if you could pull from someone they can service it because you're talking about monthly notices.

1781
01:50:31,270 --> 01:50:33,790
They have industry having 82 service units.

1782
01:50:33,890 --> 01:50:34,390
Past students.

1783
01:50:35,650 --> 01:50:36,710
Affordable homes, just.

1784
01:50:36,810 --> 01:50:38,150
Yeah, I didn't know that they even.

1785
01:50:38,630 --> 01:50:40,250
Yeah, it's a great, great idea.

1786
01:50:40,690 --> 01:50:41,830
Having four months.

1787
01:50:42,550 --> 01:50:42,610
Yeah.

1788
01:50:43,770 --> 01:50:45,390
But they can still have anybody.

1789
01:50:45,610 --> 01:50:46,890
Not just some homes.

1790
01:50:47,030 --> 01:50:48,870
Well, we're going to hear back if they can do it.

1791
01:50:48,910 --> 01:50:52,130
But I think it'd be a good idea if they did.

1792
01:50:52,130 --> 01:50:56,290
I guess affordable homes is an option that sounds like it's coming in and something that

1793
01:50:56,290 --> 01:51:00,930
we hope will fit, but can you email us detail on other options?

1794
01:51:01,750 --> 01:51:01,810
Sure.

1795
01:51:02,370 --> 01:51:02,510
Yeah.

1796
01:51:02,630 --> 01:51:08,390
And so we can read the book of the detail of different programs than just community programs.

1797
01:51:08,610 --> 01:51:09,470
I don't know what that is.

1798
01:51:09,470 --> 01:51:14,770
And be ready to do it if they can't, or we can just push them.

1799
01:51:15,390 --> 01:51:20,270
We will have to have a citizen participation plan process because we will be amending the

1800
01:51:20,270 --> 01:51:24,210
action plan as we had submitted to HUD earlier with the intention that funds would be to

1801
01:51:24,210 --> 01:51:27,970
lift funds. So as soon as we have that we do need to go through a minimum of five-day

1802
01:51:27,970 --> 01:51:32,070
common period before it comes back before you for actual. Even though it's the same program

1803
01:51:32,070 --> 01:51:35,610
with different entity carrying it out? Unfortunately, yeah. Oh yeah, I forgot. We're doing

1804
01:51:35,610 --> 01:51:36,210
the federal government.

1805
01:51:38,890 --> 01:51:39,290
Okay.

1806
01:51:42,210 --> 01:51:47,310
Any other questions? There is a possibility for us to look at

1807
01:51:53,450 --> 01:52:03,530
Yeah, and we're hoping that we can get that fully reimbursed, so yeah, okay, okay, thank

1808
01:52:03,530 --> 01:52:06,790
you very much, and then I'll see what's next,

1809
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:14,700
Zen City report, Zen City report, was that

1810
01:52:14,700 --> 01:52:17,280
That's some kind of city.

1811
01:52:17,780 --> 01:52:18,380
Is that a city?

1812
01:52:18,620 --> 01:52:19,220
That way you can.

1813
01:52:19,540 --> 01:52:19,980
That's it.

1814
01:52:20,300 --> 01:52:21,460
It's like some month ago.

1815
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:22,940
Acupuncture thing, city.

1816
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:24,500
Why are you running a cobalt, or what is it?

1817
01:52:25,900 --> 01:52:26,900
I'm scared if I got it.

1818
01:52:27,220 --> 01:52:28,340
Oh no, we already had the census.

1819
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:28,980
Yeah.

1820
01:52:31,220 --> 01:52:32,940
Oh my gosh, are you seven?

1821
01:52:33,060 --> 01:52:36,420
This is the company that you all, and a few of you

1822
01:52:36,420 --> 01:52:40,720
met them at CML and you found some use in the products.

1823
01:52:41,380 --> 01:52:43,380
And so we've been using a staff house

1824
01:52:43,380 --> 01:52:50,800
for the last few months. And I guess somebody's assistance over here please. I thought we didn't improve it.

1825
01:52:50,860 --> 01:52:51,520
One we've proved it.

1826
01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:55,560
It was a long time ago.

1827
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:56,140
It was tight.

1828
01:52:56,560 --> 01:52:59,840
Maybe you remember that.

1829
01:53:00,100 --> 01:53:00,560
The short term.

1830
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:01,500
The short term here.

1831
01:53:01,500 --> 01:53:02,340
Don't worry about it.

1832
01:53:02,340 --> 01:53:02,820
Get in there.

1833
01:53:03,460 --> 01:53:04,600
All your private information.

1834
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:06,400
Look at the top.

1835
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:09,640
They're going to hold us there, all the time they're going to be there.

1836
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:12,240
Oh, yeah, sure.

1837
01:53:12,480 --> 01:53:14,920
And here is a privacy statement.

1838
01:53:15,460 --> 01:53:16,880
That nobody's read in her history.

1839
01:53:17,820 --> 01:53:19,400
What information would he do?

1840
01:53:19,580 --> 01:53:20,680
Like, no, this is better.

1841
01:53:21,500 --> 01:53:22,140
Yeah, OK.

1842
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:25,480
Mayor was probably not feeling well about that, too.

1843
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:26,600
I don't want to do that.

1844
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:30,440
Oh, well, he looks great.

1845
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:31,940
You're just a couple of little testers.

1846
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:38,460
The resident engagement is extremely important to government without knowing what people

1847
01:53:38,460 --> 01:53:43,520
want, thinking and worried about, talking about discussing what their fingers or their

1848
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:44,020
miles are.

1849
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:49,420
It's very important to know what's going on, you know, the Zen City has been at God's

1850
01:53:49,420 --> 01:53:51,200
Center for giving that information to us quickly.

1851
01:53:52,160 --> 01:53:57,060
It was a little bit of an error to sign up for the project a year ago, and it's working

1852
01:53:57,060 --> 01:53:57,620
very well.

1853
01:53:57,620 --> 01:54:01,840
You guys are listening to him, because a lot of us stay tuned in to what people are talking about.

1854
01:54:02,200 --> 01:54:05,780
We can react if we need to, not just with the concern about it.

1855
01:54:05,780 --> 01:54:12,820
When we flow, who reports out about activities, we definitely watch scenes with this catching

1856
01:54:12,820 --> 01:54:17,620
on the electronic agent, and that's important to us, because then it actually makes staff

1857
01:54:17,620 --> 01:54:20,840
happy to let people are going to come, and that's really important.

1858
01:54:21,140 --> 01:54:25,320
Or if there's traffic problems, we'll put an announcement out, engage public reaction, and

1859
01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:26,320
It's such an easy tool.

1860
01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:28,280
I first took office in 2009.

1861
01:54:28,480 --> 01:54:31,920
We talked to 5,000 people with like 30 volunteers.

1862
01:54:32,340 --> 01:54:33,860
It took nine months.

1863
01:54:34,280 --> 01:54:35,980
We repeated that again with that many volunteers.

1864
01:54:36,520 --> 01:54:38,360
Because I really believe you want to know

1865
01:54:38,360 --> 01:54:39,300
what people are thinking about.

1866
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:41,820
Therefore, you make decisions, you map out your plans,

1867
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:43,820
you know your answer to what people want.

1868
01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:45,960
It's not hard, but it's a lot of work.

1869
01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:48,080
It's easy, it's your thing, that's a lot easier.

1870
01:54:49,180 --> 01:54:50,440
And that's why they elected you, buddy.

1871
01:54:51,420 --> 01:54:52,260
Make decisions.

1872
01:54:54,940 --> 01:55:02,140
So basically we have another tool that we use here at the city that we use at the city

1873
01:55:02,140 --> 01:55:03,220
it's called the citizen survey.

1874
01:55:03,420 --> 01:55:07,480
We put that out every three years at the cost of tens of thousands of dollars and it

1875
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:08,840
takes about a year before we put it in.

1876
01:55:08,840 --> 01:55:09,660
Good afternoon everybody.

1877
01:55:11,340 --> 01:55:12,580
Good afternoon everybody.

1878
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:18,000
And so this is something that we're using that is much quicker and much more real time.

1879
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:25,720
So this is, instead of using meetings and phone calls and surveys, we're getting this daily.

1880
01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:34,020
They are mapping out in an average month between 100 and 200,000 interactions that they're monitoring on the web.

1881
01:55:34,420 --> 01:55:35,820
Then it's all public information.

1882
01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:43,820
So it comes from things like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and all those things that are already public out there.

1883
01:55:44,780 --> 01:55:48,700
And there's people out there who are talking, they don't necessarily talk to us, but they're

1884
01:55:48,700 --> 01:55:52,180
still out there talking in public websites, and so this gives us an opportunity to see

1885
01:55:52,180 --> 01:55:52,900
what's being said.

1886
01:55:53,960 --> 01:55:58,520
So this is their privacy, and I'll leave it to you to go ahead and read that, but they only

1887
01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:02,600
use public data, they remove all personally identifying information, they don't share

1888
01:56:02,600 --> 01:56:07,300
between cities or even with residents, they only share with the people like us that ask for

1889
01:56:07,300 --> 01:56:07,900
their services.

1890
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:16,920
This is one of the tools they offer. We get three types of reports, we get projects, we

1891
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:20,800
get insights and we get monthly reports. So these are some of the projects and we can

1892
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:25,800
ask for any project that we want. These are six of the ones that we've asked to create

1893
01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:31,380
protests, census, coronavirus, bridges, drainage, traffic. We also have entertainment and

1894
01:56:31,380 --> 01:56:33,060
Michael and Marathon, state of the city

1895
01:56:33,580 --> 01:56:35,240
Michellum Public Works, Street construction,

1896
01:56:35,300 --> 01:56:36,660
Future visions, and libraries.

1897
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:37,440
I think the procurement corcode...

1898
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:39,580
We get all of the comments

1899
01:56:39,580 --> 01:56:41,300
out there that are related to these things

1900
01:56:41,300 --> 01:56:44,800
that we see in the resources that they're migrating.

1901
01:56:45,460 --> 01:56:48,020
And we get these, they're available daily.

1902
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:50,980
Then we have the insides,

1903
01:56:51,580 --> 01:56:55,100
which are basically one of them that we use

1904
01:56:55,100 --> 01:56:58,080
during the Coronavirus, the mayor had mentioned,

1905
01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:00,280
it was early on when we first started

1906
01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:05,460
with the face coverings, the mayor had given a recommendation to wear face coverings

1907
01:57:05,460 --> 01:57:07,640
and it was getting a lot of mixed feedback.

1908
01:57:08,180 --> 01:57:10,120
I could have told you there as we could have said.

1909
01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:15,620
Well, as a result of that, Kevin Allen went ahead and gave her the science to back it up.

1910
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:16,560
No, I know.

1911
01:57:16,940 --> 01:57:21,100
Kevin also told me the emergency management staff to go ahead and put out a clarification

1912
01:57:21,100 --> 01:57:25,660
that it wasn't that it was in the Judges County order and that this was being recommended

1913
01:57:25,660 --> 01:57:26,320
by our mayor.

1914
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:32,360
So we were able to help see what the public sentiment was and what we wanted it to be and we were able to respond to that real-time.

1915
01:57:33,180 --> 01:57:36,660
There's been other things that have we understand current

1916
01:57:37,480 --> 01:57:39,500
ongoing feedback on recurring

1917
01:57:40,300 --> 01:57:46,100
Issues that we have like flooding and drainage. We found the last time that it flooded. We weren't seeing as much talk about it

1918
01:57:46,100 --> 01:57:51,400
Because I think people are understanding that there's projects out there. They're seeing them. We're able to push that out there more

1919
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:55,540
And then there's also the benefit of being able to benchmark ourselves with other cities

1920
01:57:55,540 --> 01:57:57,680
in Texas on how they are.

1921
01:57:58,260 --> 01:58:03,160
And this is when we started reopening, we were able to see that our residents were more

1922
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:05,840
positive about the reopening than other parts of the state.

1923
01:58:06,780 --> 01:58:10,220
And it also gives us immediate feedback to act quickly on some of them.

1924
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:17,460
So what we saw in the January reports, the top three issues were cultural affairs, public

1925
01:58:17,460 --> 01:58:20,620
safety and education, over 100,000 reports.

1926
01:58:20,620 --> 01:58:25,220
Then in February, public safety was number one, followed by political affairs and education.

1927
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:30,440
In March, education, public health, and public safety, and then in April, public health

1928
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:31,180
was all over.

1929
01:58:31,400 --> 01:58:35,200
So you can see, you know, and obviously, like you said, we know some of these things, but

1930
01:58:35,200 --> 01:58:39,760
you can see the specifics, the specific comments, and the sentiment of some of these things

1931
01:58:39,760 --> 01:58:44,880
that are going on, whoops, runway, and then the monthly reports.

1932
01:58:45,580 --> 01:58:47,960
And so those were kind of what I was just talking about now.

1933
01:58:47,960 --> 01:58:50,980
We can see one of the things that we did see was in April.

1934
01:58:51,740 --> 01:58:54,700
The top one over here was public health,

1935
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:59,340
and there was 43,000 plus hits on that.

1936
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:01,880
Well, in May, when things started reopening,

1937
01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:04,420
you see it quickly dropping down to number four,

1938
01:59:04,720 --> 01:59:06,300
and there's only about 12,000.

1939
01:59:06,420 --> 01:59:09,640
So then, you know, now I've been on the June's report

1940
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:11,200
that's going to be spiked back up there.

1941
01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:17,660
This is to show you kind of the public negative positive.

1942
01:59:17,660 --> 01:59:22,660
the grade is kind of neutral and that tells us kind of where we are with the

1943
01:59:22,660 --> 01:59:23,960
night and the night and the night and the night and the night and the night and the night.

1944
01:59:24,260 --> 01:59:28,900
So we've used this a lot during COVID and it's something that we can add as many

1945
01:59:28,900 --> 01:59:35,660
users as we want to for free. I have probably 15 or 20 of the directors on there that

1946
01:59:35,660 --> 01:59:39,720
are getting reports for instance about the library about drainage about traffic and so forth.

1947
01:59:39,740 --> 01:59:44,080
Of course, the commission could also, you know, you could start a project with your name on there and just see, you know,

1948
01:59:44,080 --> 01:59:51,200
with the public sentiment is about you, for instance, maybe we don't.

1949
01:59:51,540 --> 01:59:56,720
I've put them a few negatives today didn't I?

1950
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:04,560
I have you all out there and you do get pretty good. Who gets the best?

1951
02:00:13,740 --> 02:00:29,720
In summary, we as the staff have found it useful, engaging public opinion and being able to adjust on the fly. We haven't seen the concern for public privacy that has been expressed and we would like to continue to be able to utilize this tool. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to address.

1952
02:00:30,740 --> 02:00:31,980
Well, that was pretty general.

1953
02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:37,560
I'd like to see no more specific what you're doing and why what decisions you've made based

1954
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:38,460
on this information.

1955
02:00:38,660 --> 02:00:43,580
Yeah, I remember when we first approved it, I thought it's weird to get a six month report

1956
02:00:43,580 --> 02:00:43,820
right?

1957
02:00:43,900 --> 02:00:44,640
It would be this huge competition.

1958
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:47,980
Yeah, it was in the middle of COVID when the six months have.

1959
02:00:48,580 --> 02:00:54,520
And so I assume from then city you're looking to get some kind of contract proposal that

1960
02:00:54,520 --> 02:00:55,000
would then come.

1961
02:00:55,120 --> 02:00:55,640
Yes, approval.

1962
02:00:56,020 --> 02:01:03,220
Yes, but we don't want to, you know, they would basically extend the proposal that we had, but we wanted to make sure that it was something that you all wanted to do.

1963
02:01:03,660 --> 02:01:07,120
And you said there was another company that you all used to use when you just stopped using that.

1964
02:01:07,380 --> 02:01:08,100
How much does this cost?

1965
02:01:08,460 --> 02:01:09,420
No, some of them.

1966
02:01:09,540 --> 02:01:12,000
You said there were surveys that cost a lot of the time.

1967
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:13,400
Yeah, and we still do that.

1968
02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:21,240
We do the citizen survey every year and that's that tool where we go out and we have a phone bank and they call and they send mailouts.

1969
02:01:21,240 --> 02:01:26,340
And then they give, you know, that's what we based our bond issue on this last time, because

1970
02:01:26,340 --> 02:01:28,660
we saw the need for drainage traffic improvements.

1971
02:01:29,580 --> 02:01:35,240
But that one was based on maybe seven to 900 surveys, or 900 responses, right?

1972
02:01:36,300 --> 02:01:37,240
This is about 200,000.

1973
02:01:37,900 --> 02:01:40,300
Of course, not all of them are not even cured.

1974
02:01:40,620 --> 02:01:41,880
Well, you get online.

1975
02:01:42,320 --> 02:01:44,480
But there's a lot of rhythm that's going to take out the...

1976
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:44,640
Yes.

1977
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:51,600
Yes, they use a logarithm that anonymizes the data and compiles it into something that's

1978
02:01:51,600 --> 02:01:51,860
usable.

1979
02:01:51,940 --> 02:01:53,400
He uses artificial intelligence.

1980
02:01:54,640 --> 02:01:56,140
So that's who's going to control you guys.

1981
02:01:56,280 --> 02:01:57,040
I'm glad I'm getting old.

1982
02:01:57,200 --> 02:01:57,760
That's all I'm going to do.

1983
02:01:59,180 --> 02:02:00,600
What do we pay a year, Michelle?

1984
02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:02,880
This is $12,000.

1985
02:02:03,240 --> 02:02:04,420
$12,000 for the six months.

1986
02:02:06,040 --> 02:02:06,900
I thought it was a good deal.

1987
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:13,580
We have a short summary for some future workshops to see how many two or three departments

1988
02:02:13,580 --> 02:02:21,660
Once all the data was used, how it was implemented, how it was tested, or at least identified an issue, and they acted on it to correct it.

1989
02:02:21,860 --> 02:02:22,040
Certainly.

1990
02:02:22,180 --> 02:02:25,360
I think we could see the greater utility.

1991
02:02:25,420 --> 02:02:29,020
Yeah, I know it's how they helped me use it other than just the data.

1992
02:02:29,540 --> 02:02:30,020
Yeah, right.

1993
02:02:30,340 --> 02:02:34,260
See, because I would like to see like the response of people with like the dumpsters that we've been putting around.

1994
02:02:34,280 --> 02:02:34,400
Right.

1995
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:38,020
See, they like it, or they think we need more.

1996
02:02:38,340 --> 02:02:38,480
Right.

1997
02:02:45,340 --> 02:02:50,280
There's a whole bunch of people that I think we should try to get the feedback from that and see if they want more.

1998
02:02:51,260 --> 02:02:52,600
Thamster's also with more frequency.

1999
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:56,080
We'll set up a project on that specifically and if there's any other issues.

2000
02:02:56,520 --> 02:02:58,580
A lot of it depends on how it gets out.

2001
02:02:58,680 --> 02:03:02,100
If you have some of the bone to pick and they put it out, you get certain responses from that.

2002
02:03:02,240 --> 02:03:04,980
I mean, it's just not as, I know it's very scientific.

2003
02:03:04,980 --> 02:03:11,440
but it's a relatively small population and whatever, but anyways.

2004
02:03:11,940 --> 02:03:12,960
Can we put one in the final?

2005
02:03:13,160 --> 02:03:13,880
Who's their favorite commissioner?

2006
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:14,440
Oh.

2007
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:14,760
Oh.

2008
02:03:15,860 --> 02:03:16,580
Any idea?

2009
02:03:17,260 --> 02:03:18,660
How long did you all have that?

2010
02:03:18,660 --> 02:03:19,000
You know what?

2011
02:03:19,100 --> 02:03:21,100
We should probably do it just so you can make money.

2012
02:03:21,420 --> 02:03:21,880
I guess so.

2013
02:03:22,220 --> 02:03:22,580
Thank you.

2014
02:03:22,900 --> 02:03:24,620
I think we should make money.

2015
02:03:24,740 --> 02:03:26,020
Because it's probably not what you think.

2016
02:03:27,320 --> 02:03:27,880
It's gorgeous.

2017
02:03:29,180 --> 02:03:29,540
Okay.

2018
02:03:29,700 --> 02:03:30,080
Or fail.

2019
02:03:30,380 --> 02:03:30,480
No.

2020
02:03:31,340 --> 02:03:31,540
Oh.

2021
02:03:39,140 --> 02:03:43,220
Okay, so for some real data, let's do this for you on one report because those are

2022
02:03:43,220 --> 02:03:55,160
Yeah, we've been sitting here since 3.30, so I was a little, I spoke too much about it.

2023
02:03:55,660 --> 02:03:59,920
One thing in the three-month report, it's kind of data because it's March, so it's pre-COVID

2024
02:03:59,920 --> 02:04:05,760
virus report, so if you could give us more of an update of what's happened since the virus

2025
02:04:06,300 --> 02:04:08,480
things have gone into place, I think it'd be more accurate.

2026
02:04:08,920 --> 02:04:12,660
So the report you've seen in front of you is actually for last fiscal year and then the

2027
02:04:12,660 --> 02:04:13,680
the first and second quarter.

2028
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:16,380
And like the mayor said, this was mostly

2029
02:04:16,380 --> 02:04:20,240
created COVID towards the end of that second quarter.

2030
02:04:20,360 --> 02:04:25,380
That's when we had that first case that was confirmed here

2031
02:04:25,380 --> 02:04:26,040
in the battle county.

2032
02:04:26,680 --> 02:04:32,160
That's actually when we went to a 7-day week work period.

2033
02:04:32,700 --> 02:04:34,340
We extended the hour, 8-6.

2034
02:04:34,520 --> 02:04:39,820
And then we were open 8-6, 7 days of a week for the whole month.

2035
02:04:40,600 --> 02:04:47,260
In that, we actually saw a less average amount of calls.

2036
02:04:47,600 --> 02:04:50,400
The number was still high for the month, it was still about 8,000.

2037
02:04:52,720 --> 02:05:00,240
For the month of April, it was still 8,800 calls, but because of that 70 a week, it averaged

2038
02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:00,540
down.

2039
02:05:02,220 --> 02:05:07,800
The next couple of months, which is what you're going to be seeing in the upcoming report for

2040
02:05:07,800 --> 02:05:20,540
the next quarter, you'll see 8,880 calls for May and then 7,320 so far in June, so that's

2041
02:05:20,540 --> 02:05:23,160
still pending a couple of days or this week of June.

2042
02:05:25,260 --> 02:05:34,180
For this period or for this quarter, with the COVID we did see a spike every time that

2043
02:05:34,180 --> 02:05:38,860
there was a, uh, a new water people were calling in wanting

2044
02:05:38,860 --> 02:05:41,460
information, wanting to get more information regarding what

2045
02:05:41,460 --> 02:05:44,480
the order set, uh, to being compliance or what they could

2046
02:05:44,480 --> 02:05:48,320
have couldn't do. Uh, I think the highest number of calls was

2047
02:05:48,320 --> 02:05:53,540
after that first initial order, that was a 700 calls that's just

2048
02:05:53,540 --> 02:05:57,620
in one day. I would think the conclusion from that is the orders

2049
02:05:57,620 --> 02:06:04,060
were pretty confusing to people. That and they, they did want

2050
02:06:04,060 --> 02:06:10,280
more information. They had an 18-page order, so they just wanted to be straight forward.

2051
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:13,340
What is it? What can I do and what can I do?

2052
02:06:15,500 --> 02:06:20,300
In this report, these work created with

2053
02:06:20,300 --> 02:06:27,540
the question in mind of what do you want to see, right? So we put the top 10 work order

2054
02:06:27,540 --> 02:06:33,580
types, we put the top three contributors. So these are reports coming in from the app

2055
02:06:33,580 --> 02:06:39,400
only. So the users that are submitting the reports, the weekly requests, and then just

2056
02:06:39,400 --> 02:06:47,360
a brief news of what happened in that quarter. And just to highlight the, this quarter,

2057
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:54,500
we've actually seen a very high increase of the app usage, where we were averaging about

2058
02:06:54,500 --> 02:07:03,040
a thousand per quarter and just so far we're about a 1600 request just from the app which is very

2059
02:07:03,040 --> 02:07:09,020
good news because of coming we're still finalizing but we are the testing phase for the map which is

2060
02:07:09,020 --> 02:07:15,880
going to be just tremendous for the citizens because this meeting for example you'll be able to watch

2061
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:23,240
it on the app. So, they will be able to access that live, live them. Great.

2062
02:07:24,560 --> 02:07:26,180
Good morning. Mayor, can I say something?

2063
02:07:27,300 --> 02:07:34,420
As you know, I was, as the EMC, I moved physically to the EOC in the middle of March, which

2064
02:07:34,420 --> 02:07:39,580
is where 3-1-1 is located. And first of all, I want to say I can't say enough good things

2065
02:07:39,580 --> 02:07:45,240
about Mark Owen and staff and what they did during the height of the pandemic. But having

2066
02:07:45,240 --> 02:08:13,460
the 3-1-1 system co-located with the ELC both physically and operationally was, I just can't tell you how much smoother it may, you know, nothing is smoother than times of crisis, but I've worked several hurricanes and other crisis and having that system and Mark on his team there as part of the emergency response was a huge asset for this state.

2067
02:08:13,460 --> 02:08:21,320
And, you know, disrespect the city, but we were expecting the city to identify some of what we believe that an

2068
02:08:25,440 --> 02:08:27,940
other came out, when a report came out.

2069
02:08:28,860 --> 02:08:39,700
And so both the decision to have 311 generally during normal times, but particularly for me and those of us that work emergency management, it is just a tremendous asset.

2070
02:08:40,040 --> 02:08:42,620
And they have done a fantastic job.

2071
02:08:42,820 --> 02:08:46,420
I can't imagine having gotten through it without Marko and his team there.

2072
02:08:47,960 --> 02:08:54,760
Marko on the hardline telephone line 311, when did that go into place?

2073
02:08:55,500 --> 02:09:01,160
That started on October 8th, where you can just dial 311 and it goes straight to our system

2074
02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:05,160
So when you put on the chart on the lower right-hand corner which is work order source

2075
02:09:06,300 --> 02:09:08,520
311 would have been through just that

2076
02:09:09,140 --> 02:09:15,160
No, the new work order system is just going to be with the new app. That's the one I was telling about that you're going to be able to watch

2077
02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:17,340
the MCN live.

2078
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:19,820
No, I'm referring to on your chart.

2079
02:09:20,180 --> 02:09:22,280
Where you say, work order source, you have two categories.

2080
02:09:22,280 --> 02:09:22,560
Call number.

2081
02:09:23,180 --> 02:09:24,220
Yeah, 311 Paul.

2082
02:09:24,620 --> 02:09:26,060
And you have 311-PAP.

2083
02:09:27,060 --> 02:09:27,900
On this one, sorry.

2084
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:31,700
Yes, so this is where the reports are coming from.

2085
02:09:32,300 --> 02:09:34,740
So 95% for example, for the fiscal year,

2086
02:09:35,400 --> 02:09:36,900
were through phone calls.

2087
02:09:37,820 --> 02:09:40,500
And the other 5% were through the actual act.

2088
02:09:40,920 --> 02:09:41,540
What do you think?

2089
02:09:41,540 --> 02:09:45,720
It would we would have to undertake to increase the amount of the app use

2090
02:09:46,880 --> 02:09:54,460
Aside from the person actually having a smartphone, right? I mean, what do you think the city could do to promote that a little bit more?

2091
02:09:54,760 --> 02:09:57,200
I didn't see much of a change from the

2092
02:09:57,200 --> 02:10:03,140
Quarter to quarter. It hasn't really changed. It's been kind of stagnant where it's about a thousand a thousand two hundred

2093
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:10,520
Like I said this quarter it that number actually increased by itself like if people were able to do it from home now

2094
02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:18,660
But with the new app, we're trying to streamline and we're trying to get more information back to them to actually motivate them to use it.

2095
02:10:19,240 --> 02:10:24,500
So instead of just submitting something and then watching it get a result.

2096
02:10:24,940 --> 02:10:31,260
But without any information until it does get resolved with this new app, we're going to try and develop something to get more information back.

2097
02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:31,800
Okay.

2098
02:10:32,100 --> 02:10:38,100
I think as people call in, are you letting them know, hey, just make sure, download the 311 app on each call.

2099
02:10:38,100 --> 02:10:40,280
We have them, but that's something that we can try.

2100
02:10:40,320 --> 02:10:41,960
I think if you implement something like that it will help.

2101
02:10:42,660 --> 02:10:46,100
Because I think a lot of people call because they want sort of an immediate response.

2102
02:10:46,900 --> 02:10:51,560
I could tell you the first time I used the ad and I saw it go through a cycle of progress

2103
02:10:51,960 --> 02:10:53,960
and progress to completion.

2104
02:10:54,580 --> 02:10:57,500
If you use the ad once, honestly, I don't think you'll go back to calling.

2105
02:10:58,920 --> 02:10:59,140
Right.

2106
02:10:59,420 --> 02:10:59,860
It's a very bad idea.

2107
02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:03,260
So it's a quick buying, right, but you've got to inform them.

2108
02:11:03,360 --> 02:11:05,920
So I think as they call, you need to have a small script

2109
02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:13,580
That they let them know at the end of the call to download the app and some of the features and then on the work order source the same one

2110
02:11:14,240 --> 02:11:15,340
You've got the percentages

2111
02:11:16,360 --> 02:11:22,600
If this is the report format could you add number of calls under that as well for shows percentage and number of calls because

2112
02:11:23,180 --> 02:11:24,480
96 to 4%

2113
02:11:25,420 --> 02:11:33,160
Can be buried a hundred calls and 3000 calls as a tangent on the calls when they're received by life person are we ending the call

2114
02:11:33,160 --> 02:11:35,200
Don't forget to respond to the sentence

2115
02:11:35,200 --> 02:11:36,940
We are implementing. Okay.

2116
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:44,720
That's a great too. You know, Italian and street lights. That's a great too. I do street. I'll take a picture.

2117
02:11:45,900 --> 02:11:46,260
Okay.

2118
02:11:51,240 --> 02:11:57,040
Any other questions? No, just I do. I assume we also use this. I mean, there's a thousand misgarbage services.

2119
02:11:57,080 --> 02:12:01,160
There's just people that you have to put their bins out. I generally want to repick up.

2120
02:12:01,160 --> 02:12:08,780
So the combination of everything, it's not because it was just a forgot, it could have been that something was blocked

2121
02:12:08,780 --> 02:12:14,840
So for whatever reason, it just got categorized and drew a miss so yeah if one person

2122
02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:21,340
Reports 20 missed garbage services in a few months, but we see a thing be able hey, we need to

2123
02:12:21,340 --> 02:12:27,740
That one individual because they're constantly making us go out again. We should get no offense to send city

2124
02:12:27,740 --> 02:12:28,300
But I will

2125
02:12:28,300 --> 02:12:34,160
We got to get a report on this because that's directly kind of a little more detail report each month.

2126
02:12:34,900 --> 02:12:37,240
I think they provide a different type of data than what we do.

2127
02:12:37,320 --> 02:12:45,560
Yeah, I'm going to bring some to your attention and there's a guy out there who's my district and he's named his email showed up on your report.

2128
02:12:51,940 --> 02:12:54,360
J-M-C-O-L-L-L-S-U-P.

2129
02:12:55,060 --> 02:12:55,580
Call them?

2130
02:12:55,760 --> 02:12:57,080
Oh, the top contributors.

2131
02:12:57,460 --> 02:12:59,020
Yeah, the top users top contributors.

2132
02:12:59,820 --> 02:13:03,460
That guy spends all week going

2133
02:13:03,460 --> 02:13:05,800
car park in front of mailbox.

2134
02:13:06,380 --> 02:13:07,860
Car park in front of mailbox.

2135
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:08,440
That's what I mean.

2136
02:13:09,060 --> 02:13:10,520
I mean, that's like almost abuse.

2137
02:13:11,080 --> 02:13:12,080
People don't know they did that.

2138
02:13:12,360 --> 02:13:13,200
It's not even his house.

2139
02:13:13,620 --> 02:13:14,400
I mean, you can see it.

2140
02:13:14,400 --> 02:13:21,660
because they went around all the way around all the streets and did it yes I'm

2141
02:13:21,660 --> 02:13:28,000
under it because I'm following it too you have a lot of that because I mean

2142
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:32,580
this is one instance where I saw it I don't know if you do the data right

2143
02:13:32,580 --> 02:13:37,420
down by the reporter if you start seeing the trends we haven't really looked

2144
02:13:37,420 --> 02:13:42,800
into that because a lot of it is synonymous, it's a very, you have natural name to it.

2145
02:13:46,240 --> 02:13:48,580
It's not anymore, it's not your name now.

2146
02:13:48,780 --> 02:13:50,920
It's a pride for doing that, it's a pride for you.

2147
02:13:52,980 --> 02:13:53,920
Why do it all that?

2148
02:13:54,540 --> 02:13:55,860
Do you need something else to do?

2149
02:13:57,440 --> 02:14:00,800
Yeah, because it seems like it just gets, I mean, do you think about it?

2150
02:14:00,840 --> 02:14:01,360
Do you think about it more?

2151
02:14:01,620 --> 02:14:03,600
Yes, according to the downstairs, yeah.

2152
02:14:03,600 --> 02:14:04,940
But it's time to go out there.

2153
02:14:05,100 --> 02:14:06,840
The chances are that the person needs to move.

2154
02:14:07,060 --> 02:14:08,400
You're like, we're gonna check on him.

2155
02:14:08,580 --> 02:14:10,600
But the app may prepare the response on the app.

2156
02:14:10,920 --> 02:14:11,500
Let me put that on my suitcase.

2157
02:14:12,040 --> 02:14:12,340
No need.

2158
02:14:12,400 --> 02:14:12,840
All of these.

2159
02:14:13,680 --> 02:14:17,180
So he should see the concept response, but that's true.

2160
02:14:18,080 --> 02:14:18,660
Too much.

2161
02:14:19,040 --> 02:14:21,420
If it's a legitimate complaint, it's a, you know,

2162
02:14:21,560 --> 02:14:22,880
what's the direction that you're going to do?

2163
02:14:22,880 --> 02:14:24,900
Maybe you should go into the city.

2164
02:14:25,480 --> 02:14:25,840
Donate.

2165
02:14:26,020 --> 02:14:26,260
OK.

2166
02:14:27,380 --> 02:14:28,460
Anybody else, I hope not.

2167
02:14:28,580 --> 02:14:30,320
Anybody else, any questions about this?

2168
02:14:30,860 --> 02:14:31,580
Thank you.

2169
02:14:31,640 --> 02:14:32,480
You guys do a great job.

2170
02:14:32,480 --> 02:14:34,440
Thank you for all the work that we did on that.

2171
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:37,160
Okay, some of you want to report?

2172
02:14:38,580 --> 02:14:39,280
We're growing.

2173
02:14:39,420 --> 02:14:39,580
Okay.

2174
02:14:39,760 --> 02:14:40,000
Thank you.

2175
02:14:41,220 --> 02:14:42,720
We've done actually good here today.

2176
02:14:42,960 --> 02:14:43,520
We're going to go down.

2177
02:14:43,800 --> 02:14:44,120
Okay.

2178
02:14:44,640 --> 02:14:45,540
This is real quick.

2179
02:14:45,560 --> 02:14:48,300
We have about five weeks of divisions for the year.

2180
02:14:48,440 --> 02:14:50,180
Today, we're about to part with last year.

2181
02:14:51,840 --> 02:14:55,780
That's in terms of recorded flats, we're a little behind, but we have several projects that

2182
02:14:55,780 --> 02:14:57,620
are in the work and getting close to completion.

2183
02:14:58,140 --> 02:14:59,840
So we hope to have more of that.

2184
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:05,100
from last year. The recording went down quite a bit, but I think we're kind of catching up.

2185
02:15:06,080 --> 02:15:11,720
The first piece of division plan is about the legacy. It's on the 200 block of south-suckish street on the east side.

2186
02:15:12,420 --> 02:15:20,320
It's a solid art create for both for apartments. It's currently nine lots and being re-plated into one. And it's 3.93 acres.

2187
02:15:21,160 --> 02:15:24,640
That's one of those tax credit deals. Correct, yes sir. Okay, yeah.

2188
02:15:25,660 --> 02:15:30,160
Barcelona's subdivision. This is a new one. It's on the North West corner of

2189
02:15:30,160 --> 02:15:35,580
cold back in North Benson. It's a one-lot development zone for apartments and

2190
02:15:35,580 --> 02:15:43,100
it's a 1.55 acre track in size. Thumbrider and Trinity of subdivision. This is one

2191
02:15:43,100 --> 02:15:46,860
that has been in the work for many years. It kind of looks on the market. It's

2192
02:15:46,860 --> 02:15:50,640
fun. New buyers have come along and they're trying to finish the project. I think the

2193
02:15:50,640 --> 02:15:52,320
rolled throughout to the Kalichi state in 1994.

2194
02:15:53,260 --> 02:15:54,760
So this is one they were getting completed.

2195
02:15:55,600 --> 02:15:57,220
It's got 143 lots.

2196
02:15:57,580 --> 02:16:00,000
52 of the lots are proposed for a pork lex.

2197
02:16:00,460 --> 02:16:01,980
The balance are for single families.

2198
02:16:02,680 --> 02:16:05,220
It is a 48-acre track, and it's located

2199
02:16:05,220 --> 02:16:06,760
in the northeast corner of Laveet,

2200
02:16:07,340 --> 02:16:09,500
Laveet Road, and Sprite Road.

2201
02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:12,180
It's a price subdivision.

2202
02:16:12,460 --> 02:16:14,800
It's a one-lot development, the southwest corner,

2203
02:16:15,580 --> 02:16:16,640
Dallas and Ninth Street.

2204
02:16:17,600 --> 02:16:20,060
It's a one-lot, and it's 0.49 acres.

2205
02:16:20,060 --> 02:16:23,280
so for apartments, which is what's proposed to be constructed.

2206
02:16:25,040 --> 02:16:26,440
VIA's have been subdivision.

2207
02:16:26,820 --> 02:16:28,440
This is part of a plan unit development.

2208
02:16:28,760 --> 02:16:31,620
The lots that are currently where the tennis courts are

2209
02:16:31,620 --> 02:16:33,500
located, those will be removed.

2210
02:16:33,820 --> 02:16:36,380
And they're doing two new labs for residential purposes.

2211
02:16:36,920 --> 02:16:40,840
I is 0.48 acres and again, it's for a two-lot single family.

2212
02:16:41,060 --> 02:16:41,680
I didn't know one.

2213
02:16:41,840 --> 02:16:46,400
They're for sale or they're, they're going to tear the tennis court down.

2214
02:16:46,480 --> 02:16:46,780
I didn't know, so yes.

2215
02:16:47,840 --> 02:16:53,020
The one place the Dignol recorded was the UPS Mechanical Extension, the south side of

2216
02:16:53,020 --> 02:16:55,720
La Vista, west of the Jackson Road.

2217
02:16:56,320 --> 02:16:58,980
They were both before and I won for a industrial building.

2218
02:16:59,300 --> 02:17:04,780
It was six lines into a two-month development and the acreage for the area was 15.226.

2219
02:17:07,100 --> 02:17:08,220
Any questions?

2220
02:17:08,640 --> 02:17:09,000
No, we're good.

2221
02:17:09,140 --> 02:17:09,340
Thank you.

2222
02:17:09,980 --> 02:17:10,880
Thank you, Luis.

2223
02:17:11,460 --> 02:17:12,020
Appreciate it.

2224
02:17:12,820 --> 02:17:14,240
Project status report.

2225
02:17:14,240 --> 02:17:16,620
or the condensed version, please.

2226
02:17:18,100 --> 02:17:19,360
I'll try to keep it short.

2227
02:17:20,300 --> 02:17:21,500
We can't get the presentation.

2228
02:17:21,580 --> 02:17:22,340
Yeah, a lot of projects.

2229
02:17:23,120 --> 02:17:23,860
I'll just get started.

2230
02:17:23,860 --> 02:17:24,620
We're very excited.

2231
02:17:28,300 --> 02:17:29,000
We saw it.

2232
02:17:29,280 --> 02:17:30,220
Should I just get started?

2233
02:17:30,500 --> 02:17:31,280
Yeah, just go ahead.

2234
02:17:31,320 --> 02:17:31,880
Better roll.

2235
02:17:32,300 --> 02:17:35,460
So we have Kennedy Avenue Drane Improvements, R-D-H,

2236
02:17:35,520 --> 02:17:36,160
as a contractor.

2237
02:17:36,700 --> 02:17:40,200
They have finalized the paving on Kennedy, yes.

2238
02:17:41,040 --> 02:17:43,680
And they are doing cleanup, final cleanup.

2239
02:17:43,900 --> 02:17:46,220
We've been doing a lot of concerns from residents.

2240
02:17:49,300 --> 02:17:53,620
So we're finalizing that clean up and getting that done so we can close out that project.

2241
02:17:53,820 --> 02:17:54,760
Thank you.

2242
02:17:54,980 --> 02:17:58,540
Westway Hyde strain and improvements, that's another one that's kind of been lagging.

2243
02:17:58,600 --> 02:18:00,540
There's irrigation improvements that are left in the pond.

2244
02:18:00,540 --> 02:18:03,360
We're working with a contractor to finalize that.

2245
02:18:03,660 --> 02:18:08,200
We'll be coming back with a final reconciliation, a change order and final reconciliation.

2246
02:18:08,460 --> 02:18:09,640
I think I can take it from there.

2247
02:18:09,780 --> 02:18:11,160
You mean like district number three?

2248
02:18:11,260 --> 02:18:12,300
For that project.

2249
02:18:12,680 --> 02:18:13,120
Irrigation.

2250
02:18:13,700 --> 02:18:17,680
Is there like district number 3 still has irrigation lines through there or what are you talking about?

2251
02:18:17,700 --> 02:18:24,260
No, this is a sprinkler system around we've done the grating around the detention pond

2252
02:18:24,260 --> 02:18:26,840
and we just need to put in the sprinkler to irrigate it.

2253
02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:31,180
So there are kind any projects that's waste waste, the sprinkler system within the park itself.

2254
02:18:32,260 --> 02:18:37,020
By Centennial Extension Project, Texas Cordia has made some good progress on this project.

2255
02:18:37,920 --> 02:18:41,620
They are working at the intersection of Auburn putting down the first lift.

2256
02:18:42,840 --> 02:18:46,560
They're after they're done with that, it should be within this week that they'll complete

2257
02:18:46,560 --> 02:18:50,900
that first lift, then they'll continue with the first lift from Trenton, first lift

2258
02:18:50,900 --> 02:18:57,880
of asphalt, from Trenton to Auburn, and their intent is to open that up to traffic with

2259
02:18:57,880 --> 02:19:01,500
that first lift, and then they'll come back and do the final lift and striping afterwards.

2260
02:19:01,860 --> 02:19:07,680
So within less than a month, I'll say we might have that section opened between Trenton and

2261
02:19:07,680 --> 02:19:08,000
Auburn.

2262
02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:08,940
Let's have a ribbon cutting.

2263
02:19:09,760 --> 02:19:11,540
Yeah, even though they're not complete.

2264
02:19:12,020 --> 02:19:14,560
Hey, if there's traffic on it, we'll have a ribbon cutting.

2265
02:19:14,760 --> 02:19:16,080
We'll have a ribbon cutting.

2266
02:19:16,680 --> 02:19:18,600
There will be a signal there, right?

2267
02:19:20,140 --> 02:19:22,980
There will be a signal at Auburn.

2268
02:19:23,400 --> 02:19:24,800
And there will be a signal at Trenton.

2269
02:19:25,260 --> 02:19:26,980
I don't think I'll find my signal at Trenton.

2270
02:19:27,140 --> 02:19:30,920
Traffic staff is working on the signal installation at Auburn.

2271
02:19:32,560 --> 02:19:35,700
So the next project that we have is another Kennedy project.

2272
02:19:35,700 --> 02:19:40,820
This is a kind of a paving between Benson and where the RDH is a contractor for this as well

2273
02:19:40,820 --> 02:19:44,480
And they are making progress with that project as well

2274
02:19:47,140 --> 02:19:51,280
29th street the contractor continues with that 2gs is a contractor

2275
02:19:51,940 --> 02:19:58,000
They have connected the storm system which is a last segment a storm storm that needed to be connected at

2276
02:19:58,520 --> 02:20:04,460
Spray and so they're moving forward with a vase and coming in with carbon gutter so they can finalize that pavement as well

2277
02:20:04,460 --> 02:20:10,120
There's two words, but to one spray to one of seven is the last segment. I know and one of the happy finish

2278
02:20:10,840 --> 02:20:13,000
They have until august

2279
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:18,020
We did a change for it extended it till august. We need a ribbon cutting for that, too. Yes

2280
02:20:18,020 --> 02:20:21,780
Sir the signal is already operational and Oxford in 29th as well

2281
02:20:21,780 --> 02:20:26,300
And so this last will this will be the last segment and you have some work going on on spray

2282
02:20:26,760 --> 02:20:29,380
They're crossing 29th Street taking advantage right now

2283
02:20:29,380 --> 02:20:33,080
with their breaks who are crossing and so we'll be able to finish off that

2284
02:20:33,080 --> 02:20:39,360
intersection with this project. Some pictures of that, Edalgo Bridge,

2285
02:20:39,740 --> 02:20:44,060
Federal Motor Careers facility is underway, they finish the brickwork, they're

2286
02:20:44,060 --> 02:20:49,560
working on the canopies, work is progressing and they have basically until the end

2287
02:20:49,560 --> 02:20:55,660
of August to complete that project. At public works this is a automotive warehouse

2288
02:20:55,660 --> 02:21:01,500
expansion. They've essentially finished with the metal building, the overhead doors are

2289
02:21:01,500 --> 02:21:05,820
working on electrical and the elevator and then some pavement work on the outside.

2290
02:21:06,240 --> 02:21:12,120
What's the size of that one? You know, I don't have it and I don't recall, but I can get

2291
02:21:12,120 --> 02:21:17,740
that for you. That's fine. And then for our bond projects, the first set of bond projects

2292
02:21:17,740 --> 02:21:23,480
that we had under construction, say, four, one, two, three, four, them are complete and

2293
02:21:23,480 --> 02:21:28,380
and work continues right now on the 12th and Esperanza,

2294
02:21:28,840 --> 02:21:31,260
and then that'll wrap up that first group

2295
02:21:31,260 --> 02:21:32,520
that went out for a construction.

2296
02:21:33,180 --> 02:21:38,040
We had a pre-construction meeting on four more projects,

2297
02:21:38,520 --> 02:21:40,800
and actually we're gonna have five more projects this week,

2298
02:21:41,260 --> 02:21:44,020
and then next week we'll have another group

2299
02:21:44,020 --> 02:21:45,580
that will do the pre-con for as well.

2300
02:21:45,740 --> 02:21:47,500
So work continues on the bond projects.

2301
02:21:48,820 --> 02:21:49,520
That's all I have.

2302
02:21:49,860 --> 02:21:50,540
All right, gets it?

2303
02:21:50,640 --> 02:21:50,900
Thank you.

2304
02:21:51,100 --> 02:21:51,820
Oh, that was great.

2305
02:21:52,040 --> 02:21:52,300
Thank you.

2306
02:22:00,140 --> 02:22:03,820
I have a few projects I want to share with you, if you have any questions, if you

2307
02:22:03,820 --> 02:22:04,320
let me know.

2308
02:22:04,680 --> 02:22:04,940
Okay.

2309
02:22:05,260 --> 02:22:12,580
The first one is the shortest part, we have CDBG funding, we have over $175,000, two playgrounds

2310
02:22:12,580 --> 02:22:18,740
and one bathroom that's being converted from the storage room to a, basically a family

2311
02:22:18,740 --> 02:22:19,200
bathroom.

2312
02:22:19,880 --> 02:22:22,420
That's right north of the Boys and Girls Club.

2313
02:22:22,540 --> 02:22:23,640
That's the 27th.

2314
02:22:23,680 --> 02:22:23,800
Yes.

2315
02:22:24,700 --> 02:22:26,760
So that is the facility there.

2316
02:22:26,960 --> 02:22:28,040
And basically, when we're converting,

2317
02:22:28,240 --> 02:22:29,560
there's a storage room that used to be

2318
02:22:29,560 --> 02:22:32,220
served as a concessionary into a family bathroom as well.

2319
02:22:32,420 --> 02:22:35,360
Which is the new standard for our very popular bathrooms.

2320
02:22:38,900 --> 02:22:42,580
This is one of the playgrounds on the east side of the park.

2321
02:22:43,300 --> 02:22:45,280
And all of this work is being done by our staff.

2322
02:22:45,920 --> 02:22:48,500
And obviously, we're getting the green light

2323
02:22:48,500 --> 02:22:54,920
from a vet and her team at CDVG to be able to purchase the parts through our

2324
02:22:54,920 --> 02:22:58,840
cooperative purchasing programs and do the work in hand. So that's saving us a

2325
02:22:58,840 --> 02:23:02,060
lot of money. Some of the quotes that came in at the very beginning were close

2326
02:23:02,060 --> 02:23:04,560
to $300,000. We would have contracted all that.

2327
02:23:06,280 --> 02:23:09,120
Well is that they claim up the pose and not what is that thing?

2328
02:23:09,420 --> 02:23:12,760
No, those are the original standing pose. This is what the playground will look like.

2329
02:23:12,760 --> 02:23:18,280
Okay great. This is a municipal swimming pool. We've had a little delay

2330
02:23:18,280 --> 02:23:24,640
with the rain. The replaster you started today, it'll be done by end of week. We plan to open

2331
02:23:24,640 --> 02:23:31,180
to something pulled by the July 6. All right. Together with what we're doing, even though we're

2332
02:23:31,180 --> 02:23:37,540
not needed now, but we're getting it installed as a new heater for municipal. And this was a

2333
02:23:37,540 --> 02:23:43,860
recently purchased for $40,000 to $193 and stamp what we do in the installation. It is called in

2334
02:23:43,860 --> 02:23:49,740
that is it right there and obviously one of our other projects is our Morris Trail

2335
02:23:49,740 --> 02:23:54,720
which is our connection between bicentennial north of Trenton all the way to

2336
02:23:54,720 --> 02:23:58,800
Auburn this is the trail which moving pretty fast we should be done by

2337
02:23:58,800 --> 02:24:03,980
latter part of all it's looking beautiful Mike but really Mike we can run it

2338
02:24:05,260 --> 02:24:09,680
some of the neighbors that have especially one that don't have a fence that's

2339
02:24:09,680 --> 02:24:13,300
my shoes about trying to see we can move it no it's a little bit difficult to move

2340
02:24:13,300 --> 02:24:17,720
But did we look into maybe making it eight instead of 10?

2341
02:24:17,840 --> 02:24:18,420
Yes, sir.

2342
02:24:18,700 --> 02:24:20,920
I know that we looked at different possibilities.

2343
02:24:20,920 --> 02:24:23,240
But not not moving it north and north.

2344
02:24:23,260 --> 02:24:25,300
No, there's issues with moving it north.

2345
02:24:25,520 --> 02:24:27,960
One is because public works needs access

2346
02:24:27,960 --> 02:24:30,960
and we also have a main irrigation line on the north side.

2347
02:24:31,560 --> 02:24:34,580
So after discussions, after the visit that we had out there

2348
02:24:34,580 --> 02:24:36,880
and working with our engineering team,

2349
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:39,500
is basically what we'll do is reduce it by two feet.

2350
02:24:39,500 --> 02:24:44,300
And I believe that that's the same thing at least.

2351
02:24:44,860 --> 02:24:48,900
And it will basically appease the neighbors in that area.

2352
02:24:49,080 --> 02:24:51,280
They had a concern, I think there was only three feet

2353
02:24:51,280 --> 02:24:56,260
between the fence and the ex, the southern perimeter

2354
02:24:56,260 --> 02:24:57,260
of our trails.

2355
02:24:57,700 --> 02:25:00,820
So the recommendation, I guess the topic discussed

2356
02:25:00,820 --> 02:25:02,440
was to be able to remove it.

2357
02:25:02,640 --> 02:25:05,800
And that was one, it was going to cost over $5,000.

2358
02:25:06,220 --> 02:25:08,700
But the biggest concern was our irrigation main line.

2359
02:25:08,700 --> 02:25:15,480
So, in talking to our engineering department this morning, the recommendation would be to move forward with reducing it to 8.

2360
02:25:15,960 --> 02:25:19,360
Which makes it a lot easier for the papers.

2361
02:25:19,700 --> 02:25:24,000
The asphalt machine is 8 feet, so it would be a seamless project from one inch to the other.

2362
02:25:24,200 --> 02:25:25,620
So that's what we're looking at at this time.

2363
02:25:26,780 --> 02:25:28,600
That's great. That's all I have to report.

2364
02:25:29,880 --> 02:25:30,880
Okay. Any questions?

2365
02:25:31,820 --> 02:25:32,220
Thank you, Mike.

2366
02:25:32,500 --> 02:25:33,520
Appreciate what you guys are doing.

2367
02:25:33,520 --> 02:25:40,520
future agenda is we got enough really on there a lot way more just a mayor is

2368
02:25:40,520 --> 02:25:45,640
sure uh 33rd street up where the park area is I think we need to kind of discuss it

2369
02:25:45,640 --> 02:25:50,600
with her develop not develop or what's going to happen in that area okay and any

2370
02:25:50,600 --> 02:25:56,960
other possible or any other lands also that we may not need right away to plan

2371
02:25:56,960 --> 02:26:03,840
get a little bit of this. We don't need it. Okay. Allies and all that type of stuff. Yeah,

2372
02:26:04,080 --> 02:26:07,960
oh, that's a good idea. There's always we could abandon and not have to maintain anymore

2373
02:26:07,960 --> 02:26:17,480
and people get to use them. Okay. We put it on. Oh, um, on 29th and Oxford, if we could do something

2374
02:26:17,480 --> 02:26:23,360
like we did with Commissioner Omar there on Vine Street, there's that where we're 29th now curves.

2375
02:26:23,360 --> 02:26:27,760
right you left over some right away even if it's a workshop is that like a

2376
02:26:27,760 --> 02:26:35,790
workshop I mean how do you want to do that in the work yeah I think you could

2377
02:26:35,790 --> 02:26:40,590
ask Mike to look at it right away and see what they again it's out of the

2378
02:26:40,590 --> 02:26:45,810
room comfort in 29th we're 29th out count kind of curves when it meets they've got

2379
02:26:45,810 --> 02:26:50,990
left over I guess the magic city right away you know put some small

2380
02:26:50,990 --> 02:27:00,950
bones and a tree and grass. Yeah, no benches, not just to fill it out. Yeah, that's it. Artificial

2381
02:27:00,950 --> 02:27:06,670
grass because it's so small to more forget it. It takes a lot to know a little piece of

2382
02:27:06,670 --> 02:27:13,670
part here and drag the trucks out there now. Okay, Tonya. Oh, speed bumps. So I kind of want

2383
02:27:13,670 --> 02:27:20,690
I'm going to read some of the feedback options and specifically in La Valvoa and in La Ramosa.

2384
02:27:21,310 --> 02:27:26,690
I know there's the two streets that I believe we talked about that are commissioned as

2385
02:27:26,690 --> 02:27:33,030
that cannot be like that, but I would like to bring that up to discussion just because

2386
02:27:33,030 --> 02:27:37,210
as far as you can from where we're going to make it very, very, very fast.

2387
02:27:37,650 --> 02:27:38,590
Which street is it from?

2388
02:27:38,830 --> 02:27:40,590
Erupe, Elena.

2389
02:27:41,110 --> 02:27:41,510
Oh, no, sorry.

2390
02:27:41,830 --> 02:27:42,310
It's Idela.

2391
02:27:43,790 --> 02:27:45,250
Lucille from the mistaken.

2392
02:27:45,750 --> 02:27:45,950
Right.

2393
02:27:46,530 --> 02:27:48,370
And I think there's the other one there.

2394
02:27:49,750 --> 02:27:50,790
There's another one in there.

2395
02:27:50,890 --> 02:27:52,890
And then also possibility of the speed bumps

2396
02:27:52,890 --> 02:27:55,030
within the subdivisions.

2397
02:27:55,950 --> 02:27:57,410
What do you have the traffic search zone?

2398
02:27:58,490 --> 02:28:01,490
Yeah, but I cannot do one-on-one already, specifically

2399
02:28:03,550 --> 02:28:11,330
I can see that that's a huge strip but within some divisions it's kind of like for example

2400
02:28:11,330 --> 02:28:16,630
like in the Laramosa that one doesn't need since feet bumps also the one that is directly

2401
02:28:16,630 --> 02:28:21,850
north of the expressway and just because a lot of people have been kind of going around going

2402
02:28:21,850 --> 02:28:27,230
around the expressway and going through the streets so hopefully we can do some maybe something

2403
02:28:27,230 --> 02:28:29,690
temporary or something like that but let's just look into it.

2404
02:28:29,690 --> 02:28:36,210
We'll bring it back. I mean, it is part of the study that the traffic engineering does and it has to do with

2405
02:28:36,730 --> 02:28:39,530
In fact, the wider the street, the bigger the arterial

2406
02:28:40,310 --> 02:28:44,010
The less likely it is that it qualifies for speed bump, but we'll bring you that

2407
02:28:46,170 --> 02:28:48,630
Okay, and the other things for future genomes

2408
02:28:50,770 --> 02:28:55,390
Okay, next table we take this come out of the table large and exotic animals

2409
02:28:55,390 --> 02:29:01,310
Yes, sir. We were asked to do updated ordinance based on the feedback and the assistant city attorney Austin students and

2410
02:29:02,750 --> 02:29:03,570
Description of

2411
02:29:05,770 --> 02:29:06,890
Yeah, yeah

2412
02:29:06,890 --> 02:29:09,810
I was thirsty. I was the same time motion carried

2413
02:29:09,810 --> 02:29:22,650
So what we did is come up with some objective criteria

2414
02:29:22,650 --> 02:29:28,070
that was put in the ordinance, one of which, the main one, in my opinion, is the animal welfare act compliance with that.

2415
02:29:28,250 --> 02:29:35,950
That way we're referring to another agency's objective criteria, not trying to make it up on our own in-house, should somebody ever challenge this.

2416
02:29:36,090 --> 02:29:42,130
What this ordinance does is it requires somebody to get an animal exhibition permit if they're going to use a larger exotic animal.

2417
02:29:42,530 --> 02:29:44,510
They have to make that written application.

2418
02:29:44,510 --> 02:29:59,270
the city manager or his designate has the authority to approve that permit and then the person can appeal to the city commission within three days if that permit is denied or if an activist group or community group or whoever has concerns.

2419
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:29,480
It's approved and shouldn't be approved, they also can appeal it to the city commission. So this way, you don't have to hear these every single time they come. But if there's some specific controversy, each party has the right to appeal it to the commission. I think on the appeal of the approval and requires signature, 25 people. So we ready for these here. Do they have any residents? Do they have to be metallic residents? The 25 people that find them? We can put that in there, I didn't know. Because now they're going to just get their own circus people to say yes.

2420
02:30:29,480 --> 02:30:31,200
So no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

2421
02:30:31,240 --> 02:30:31,760
The other way is the Board.

2422
02:30:31,940 --> 02:30:32,740
Is there a way of challenging?

2423
02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:34,840
Well, the students couldn't appeal just by right

2424
02:30:34,840 --> 02:30:35,720
because they're going to be the applicant.

2425
02:30:36,140 --> 02:30:37,100
I thought we had just, well.

2426
02:30:37,480 --> 02:30:40,180
I think 25 citizens would be appropriate, aren't you?

2427
02:30:40,840 --> 02:30:40,940
Yes.

2428
02:30:41,340 --> 02:30:43,960
Because they're, they could get their petition sign like that.

2429
02:30:44,200 --> 02:30:44,680
Yeah, exactly.

2430
02:30:45,240 --> 02:30:48,040
Now, when I get to say a manager receives an application,

2431
02:30:48,600 --> 02:30:51,280
what do they want to provide that shows that they can

2432
02:30:51,280 --> 02:30:52,680
play with the animal welfare act?

2433
02:30:52,760 --> 02:30:55,620
I mean, is that something simple for them to provide?

2434
02:30:55,980 --> 02:30:58,560
Or what do we want to, how we want to get that objective information?

2435
02:30:59,320 --> 02:31:01,980
Because I think that we make the decision, you've got to have something in front of them, right?

2436
02:31:02,520 --> 02:31:06,840
So what we have to do is design application, which is a certain part of the ordinance,

2437
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:10,900
but design application that requires certain information and then come up with some in-house policies

2438
02:31:10,900 --> 02:31:14,640
on animal control and code enforcement doing some sort of inspection to verify the information.

2439
02:31:14,800 --> 02:31:17,580
Yeah, because you can't really do an inspection till they're here and they're here.

2440
02:31:18,860 --> 02:31:23,480
And then how will the public get noticed of an approved permit?

2441
02:31:24,400 --> 02:31:25,320
The Zen City.

2442
02:31:27,620 --> 02:31:39,280
So we're going to still allow them to come up here, kind of like with the very

2443
02:31:39,280 --> 02:31:41,040
issue that we put every week.

2444
02:31:43,300 --> 02:31:48,200
We could be, I guess we would have to do a public notice requirement in ordinance commissioners

2445
02:31:48,200 --> 02:31:48,780
a good point.

2446
02:31:49,040 --> 02:31:50,080
That's all I have to say.

2447
02:31:50,360 --> 02:31:52,160
Because I was like, no one will tell them in the court.

2448
02:31:52,460 --> 02:31:53,400
That has been approved.

2449
02:31:53,560 --> 02:31:57,340
Okay, but the public notice, what I do is add it to the, if we press the new website,

2450
02:31:57,580 --> 02:32:01,080
I don't know if you all want public notice, like the traditional, which is somewhat costly,

2451
02:32:01,220 --> 02:32:03,200
public notice that we do for zoning and PNC.

2452
02:32:03,900 --> 02:32:04,080
Yeah.

2453
02:32:04,160 --> 02:32:05,960
And we have to do public announcement.

2454
02:32:06,220 --> 02:32:07,020
Well, they have to do public announcement.

2455
02:32:07,020 --> 02:32:07,600
They have to do public announcement.

2456
02:32:07,960 --> 02:32:09,180
No, not put down Facebook.

2457
02:32:09,560 --> 02:32:09,920
That's better.

2458
02:32:10,820 --> 02:32:11,920
Just make it somehow.

2459
02:32:12,740 --> 02:32:14,360
Why do I think there's a public notice?

2460
02:32:14,680 --> 02:32:16,520
The applicant would cover the cost of the public notice.

2461
02:32:16,840 --> 02:32:17,220
Oh, yeah.

2462
02:32:17,220 --> 02:32:23,740
The fee right now pretty low. Yeah, why don't you do the fee plus the cost. Yeah, yeah, there's only a few a year

2463
02:32:26,980 --> 02:32:27,420
Okay,

2464
02:32:30,300 --> 02:32:32,120
like how much is how much is a public?

2465
02:32:32,340 --> 02:32:38,340
But what's playing in zoning one time playing in zoning? Who's here playing the zone?

2466
02:32:40,660 --> 02:32:43,700
500 bucks plus or 250 feet of face would be 750

2467
02:32:48,500 --> 02:32:52,600
Yeah, you would charge it. It's the permit fee of $1,750 and it would be all in pieces.

2468
02:32:53,640 --> 02:32:57,040
Okay, you got it on up? Is everybody interested? You want to recite that?

2469
02:32:58,520 --> 02:33:04,600
It'll be the amendment as submitted with the addition of a public notice requirement as described by the commission.

2470
02:33:05,200 --> 02:33:09,300
And Mac Allen residents. Mac Allen residents only on the particular.

2471
02:33:09,440 --> 02:33:09,600
Yes.

2472
02:33:10,160 --> 02:33:11,260
Thank you.

2473
02:33:11,660 --> 02:33:14,380
Okay, motion is weak to cut. I was in favor say aye.

2474
02:33:14,600 --> 02:33:14,840
Aye.

2475
02:33:14,840 --> 02:33:17,620
For the same side and motion carried I want to make an announcement

2476
02:33:17,620 --> 02:33:22,700
I'm no longer going to be kidding about expensive bathrooms. Now my new jokes are sent city

2477
02:33:24,140 --> 02:33:30,480
But you know that aren't you happy Michelle? Okay, Mayor's report cares act response

2478
02:33:30,480 --> 02:33:35,620
I wish I could say we had a response but we haven't so we were I was hoping that we would get a response

2479
02:33:35,620 --> 02:33:39,800
Well, we haven't got a report on COVID by the way. Let's see today

2480
02:33:40,420 --> 02:33:44,440
We had 193 new cases in the county

2481
02:33:44,840 --> 02:34:00,440
We had 35 from McAllen, we had 146 in the hospital, 15 ICU, and 21 went to the hospital today for total, and then on McAllen, we had six hospitalizations of those numbers go to the hospital today.

2482
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:02,520
We had one fatality from far.

2483
02:34:05,340 --> 02:34:07,700
I would, yeah, it's pretty long.

2484
02:34:07,800 --> 02:34:08,920
193 I think it's the highest.

2485
02:34:09,040 --> 02:34:09,880
We've been breaking everything.

2486
02:34:10,640 --> 02:34:14,560
We still haven't on the table about reopening the parks

2487
02:34:14,560 --> 02:34:15,460
and the sanitation.

2488
02:34:15,780 --> 02:34:16,520
Is that still open?

2489
02:34:16,780 --> 02:34:17,600
We can talk about that.

2490
02:34:17,760 --> 02:34:18,860
In fact, we've talked about it.

2491
02:34:18,900 --> 02:34:20,800
We have events come up on July 4th.

2492
02:34:20,800 --> 02:34:21,880
The bathrooms are open.

2493
02:34:22,200 --> 02:34:25,160
What business has been required to have the remask?

2494
02:34:25,300 --> 02:34:27,620
I think we should treat ourselves like a business.

2495
02:34:28,140 --> 02:34:28,280
Yes.

2496
02:34:28,580 --> 02:34:29,660
I think it's appropriate.

2497
02:34:29,660 --> 02:34:35,680
and so, you know, as we open up things, you know, I, um, escaped on, you know, like the library,

2498
02:34:36,320 --> 02:34:40,360
um, you know, I think people go to the library or wear a mask or really know what I'm

2499
02:34:40,360 --> 02:34:40,620
looking for.

2500
02:34:41,060 --> 02:34:43,860
And when we first did it, people felt, um, comfortable.

2501
02:34:44,020 --> 02:34:49,540
So I think that, uh, I know we're, uh, doing that, that more and more, but I think it's a good

2502
02:34:49,540 --> 02:34:54,600
example to the public and, um, we'll continue to, to do that, if you have any suggestions,

2503
02:34:54,600 --> 02:34:55,280
call me.

2504
02:34:56,480 --> 02:35:03,180
to answer your question. We are opening parts slowly based on conversations we've had here.

2505
02:35:03,780 --> 02:35:05,980
Yeah. We haven't opened up the bathroom.

2506
02:35:06,440 --> 02:35:07,080
Yes we have.

2507
02:35:07,240 --> 02:35:07,680
Okay.

2508
02:35:07,800 --> 02:35:08,360
Yeah we have.

2509
02:35:09,520 --> 02:35:13,940
Yeah man, I forgot my children doing cleaning but if you have any questions or comments

2510
02:35:14,900 --> 02:35:16,420
about letting open reading deck.

2511
02:35:16,640 --> 02:35:17,960
Let's become a health issue.

2512
02:35:18,240 --> 02:35:23,400
I mean people are out there and there's no there's no bathroom so there's a lot of people out in the

2513
02:35:23,400 --> 02:35:26,400
the parks exercise and not been one of the benefits of this.

2514
02:35:27,080 --> 02:35:27,680
It's amazing.

2515
02:35:28,040 --> 02:35:30,100
Mike, can you give a report on how you're cleaning them please?

2516
02:35:31,780 --> 02:35:33,860
At less than half a million for ten minutes.

2517
02:35:35,040 --> 02:35:36,180
Six hundred and fifty.

2518
02:35:36,280 --> 02:35:37,560
And how often do you clean?

2519
02:35:37,820 --> 02:35:40,920
So we have warning sanitation and evening sanitation.

2520
02:35:41,400 --> 02:35:44,480
We have a crew that's working till eight o'clock at night every day.

2521
02:35:45,080 --> 02:35:47,480
And basically after we do the morning sanitation,

2522
02:35:47,760 --> 02:35:50,440
we are using basically the sanitation spray

2523
02:35:50,440 --> 02:35:53,280
that has been obviously working really good for us.

2524
02:35:53,280 --> 02:35:54,660
So we do it first thing in the mornings,

2525
02:35:55,120 --> 02:35:57,160
and at the end of the day for us is 8 o'clock.

2526
02:35:57,700 --> 02:35:58,700
And we close the bathrooms.

2527
02:35:58,900 --> 02:36:01,540
We have security coming in, closing some of the busier

2528
02:36:01,540 --> 02:36:04,420
bathrooms at 11 o'clock, such as Artre Park.

2529
02:36:04,900 --> 02:36:06,620
A lot of the others are being closed by 10 p.m.

2530
02:36:08,660 --> 02:36:10,880
End of the day is right before you lock it.

2531
02:36:11,860 --> 02:36:12,340
Yes, sir.

2532
02:36:12,460 --> 02:36:13,360
Our ship.

2533
02:36:14,760 --> 02:36:17,240
We come into the morning 7 a.m.

2534
02:36:18,180 --> 02:36:20,200
And we do a cleaning before we open.

2535
02:36:20,480 --> 02:36:22,580
So why don't we change it the night time

2536
02:36:22,580 --> 02:36:24,020
and because no one's going into the night,

2537
02:36:24,460 --> 02:36:26,180
and you and Mrs. Lever,

2538
02:36:26,460 --> 02:36:32,680
the staff comes in and the day for our staff is 8 o'clock.

2539
02:36:32,860 --> 02:36:35,480
But security is closing the bathrooms between 10

2540
02:36:37,460 --> 02:36:39,940
so we come in in the morning and it's entertaining.

2541
02:36:40,600 --> 02:36:42,560
No, no, no, that would be double work for nothing.

2542
02:36:42,680 --> 02:36:43,480
Right, exactly.

2543
02:36:44,200 --> 02:36:47,700
Okay, so at any rate, that's a code opium.

2544
02:36:47,880 --> 02:36:50,120
We will be sending a letter, I think,

2545
02:36:50,120 --> 02:36:56,220
to the governor asking that instead of businesses being the one that's the burden of that is

2546
02:36:56,220 --> 02:37:01,100
allowed to go back to local governments for masking in public and we think that's more

2547
02:37:01,100 --> 02:37:07,820
appropriate than making our businesses criminals for something that we really should be doing

2548
02:37:07,820 --> 02:37:08,280
enforcement.

2549
02:37:08,620 --> 02:37:15,700
Strongly encourage still businesses to do it but I think there'd be a more palatable and

2550
02:37:15,700 --> 02:37:22,420
If they're fine, they're like, let's say you go to an HB without a mask, the HB is fine, the $1,000, the person is fine.

2551
02:37:22,440 --> 02:37:28,720
And the only thing the way HB can escape that is call that officer and say, rest him for criminal trespass, because he violated that order.

2552
02:37:29,920 --> 02:37:35,380
So, yeah, the last thing I'm going to do is have to go in and tell HB to have one of their customers arrested.

2553
02:37:36,100 --> 02:37:43,440
Not HB, everybody, but I mean, that's, so essentially it's voluntary again, because nobody's going to do that.

2554
02:37:43,440 --> 02:37:47,980
You know, even the judge when he issued his order was the intent that he didn't want anybody

2555
02:37:47,980 --> 02:37:48,500
aggressive.

2556
02:37:48,780 --> 02:37:53,060
But I don't want to arrest anybody either, but I think the message comes clearer when

2557
02:37:53,060 --> 02:37:55,660
it's done by local government as far as the governor is saying.

2558
02:37:56,060 --> 02:37:57,080
Make business through it.

2559
02:37:57,200 --> 02:37:58,220
We're not regulating people.

2560
02:37:58,760 --> 02:38:00,040
We'll have to be regulating people.

2561
02:38:01,360 --> 02:38:05,960
And you know, Edinburgh was a gross question down, because I have two staff members at the

2562
02:38:08,800 --> 02:38:15,220
And by the way, most of our people now are known people, a lot of family members, putting

2563
02:38:15,220 --> 02:38:16,340
spread it out through the whole family.

2564
02:38:16,440 --> 02:38:17,940
I think that's education for us.

2565
02:38:18,540 --> 02:38:23,460
And then the third is, second is community, because you don't know who gave it to them and

2566
02:38:23,460 --> 02:38:24,500
the third is travel now.

2567
02:38:25,020 --> 02:38:28,540
So it kind of flipped over on the cases that we're getting.

2568
02:38:29,900 --> 02:38:32,680
And that's, you know, the numbers are up, so we'll see what happens.

2569
02:38:34,040 --> 02:38:36,280
important budget meetings when we start budget meetings.

2570
02:38:36,980 --> 02:38:38,120
First week of August.

2571
02:38:38,260 --> 02:38:43,360
First week of August, look at that calendar you know and those are pretty intensive and

2572
02:38:43,360 --> 02:38:47,080
budgets probably more important this year than it's ever been so I appreciate everybody

2573
02:38:47,760 --> 02:38:50,340
coming and participating there.

2574
02:38:50,820 --> 02:38:55,780
And then last on June team we had a real successful June team I think and thank you for all that

2575
02:38:55,780 --> 02:39:01,160
everybody went and considering all that happened in the country in the last month I think

2576
02:39:01,160 --> 02:39:07,260
I think it gave a different, we shed a different light on it in our city, and I think it was successful.

2577
02:39:07,640 --> 02:39:11,880
Thank you very much for, I just want to add socially did a very good job with that interview on the production.

2578
02:39:12,360 --> 02:39:12,840
Very, very nice.

2579
02:39:13,680 --> 02:39:15,220
Very, very good, good work.

2580
02:39:15,600 --> 02:39:17,520
Zen City, they like our Juneteenth or not.

2581
02:39:20,500 --> 02:39:22,240
I got, we'll know that tomorrow.

2582
02:39:23,360 --> 02:39:27,860
That's yet any questions that's that's all I add on that and

2583
02:39:27,860 --> 02:39:34,600
And thank you mayor for doing the contribution from the mayor's fund to put that I guess that structure

2584
02:39:34,600 --> 02:39:35,680
