» Uh Monday, August 20th for
[6:22]
Sheridan City Council work session to
[6:25]
further uh 1809 or 1609.
[6:33]
All members are present.
[6:35]
Uh we have the proposed budget for 2027.
[6:40]
I take it that's you, Gavin.
[6:41]
>> Thank you, Mayor.
[6:43]
Um and before we jump into what you have
[6:45]
in your packet,
[6:48]
do we need to do our roll yes?
[6:50]
>> I forgot. Sorry, sweetheart.
[6:53]
>> No worries. Hi, everybody. I'm Andrea
[6:55]
with the Community Language Cooperative.
[6:57]
We're going to practice language
[6:58]
justice. And um in a couple of seconds,
[7:02]
we're going to start the interpretation.
[7:03]
I just want to remind everybody who is
[7:05]
in the room to please speak at a
[7:07]
conversational pace and try to be close
[7:09]
to the microphone so that we can hear
[7:11]
you super good over here on Zoom.
[7:14]
And how is we can start interpretation
[7:44]
now?
[7:45]
>> Thank you very much.
[7:47]
We have called the meeting to order
[7:49]
at
[7:50]
6:09 p.m. or
[7:52]
18
[7:54]
09.
[7:55]
Um, Devin is our first with the 2027
[7:58]
proposed bus
[7:59]
>> Thanks, mayor.
[8:01]
Before we jump into that, I just want to
[8:02]
touch on really quick this handout I
[8:04]
gave to you guys. So, I got this from
[8:08]
South Suburban.
[8:09]
They met with all of the city managers
[8:11]
from the various cities that they
[8:13]
service. And this is a breakdown of
[8:15]
their what they're proposing in their
[8:17]
capital improvement
[8:19]
budget. So, I figured since we're
[8:20]
talking capital
[8:22]
improvements for our budget, we just
[8:23]
touch on this one and just to show you
[8:25]
on the parks and rec side what's coming
[8:27]
in or what's budgeted to come in through
[8:29]
the city for 20 for the 2027
[8:33]
budget. So, I
[8:36]
if
[8:37]
what I'll just say is it we totaled a
[8:40]
little over $6 million. We have a number
[8:43]
of Bear Creek Trail
[8:46]
expenses in here. This is nothing that
[8:48]
you guys haven't known about on the Bear
[8:50]
Creek Trail side of things. It's all the
[8:51]
things that we've been talking
[8:53]
about.
[8:55]
The Mary Carter Greenway Trail widening,
[8:58]
that's
[8:59]
their match in the project that staff
[9:03]
has talked about with council previously
[9:05]
for the the trail underneath
[9:09]
Hampton and US 285.
[9:11]
You can see on Sheridan Community Park
[9:15]
that they're looking at replacing some
[9:16]
of the playground and shade pavilion
[9:18]
restroom there, so that'll be nice.
[9:20]
On the rec center, they are looking at
[9:23]
primarily roof replacement, I think.
[9:26]
Maybe didn't Yeah, roof and H vac to
[9:30]
make
[9:32]
it more comfortable in the gym for the
[9:34]
AC there. And then there's also some
[9:38]
preliminary uh design work going in.
[9:41]
That's that last budget item. That would
[9:43]
be to look at preliminary design for
[9:45]
improvements that might be included in a
[9:47]
future bond measure question.
[9:49]
So.
[9:51]
Uh pretty good outlay of funds that
[9:53]
they've got coming in to the city in the
[9:55]
moment.
[9:55]
>> That's what they're putting into it.
[9:57]
>> On
[9:59]
2027?
[10:01]
Yeah, that would be for
[10:02]
um my understanding on this and I can
[10:04]
get more info for you if you need, but
[10:06]
they would be putting in um or they'd be
[10:09]
putting forth $300,000. This is for
[10:11]
design work.
[10:13]
And so they're looking at Buck, Goodson,
[10:15]
Lone Tree, Sheridan and Rec Center. All
[10:18]
of their Rec Centers for what might they
[10:20]
need or what do they want to possibly go
[10:22]
to the voters for in a bond question
[10:25]
that would be in 2028
[10:28]
when they would go to the bond question.
[10:30]
So, um
[10:31]
spending some money to kind of go
[10:33]
through design and say
[10:34]
"Okay, these are the level of
[10:35]
improvements you like to see might like
[10:37]
to see at these various Rec Centers."
[10:39]
You got to spend some money up front to
[10:40]
figure out, "Okay, do some preliminary
[10:42]
design so you know how much money to ask
[10:44]
for if you're going to go on a bond
[10:45]
question.
[10:46]
>> So, is this a lump of money that's given
[10:48]
to everyone or are they given to
[10:49]
different for the different situations
[10:52]
for each city?
[10:53]
>> Um yeah, no. This is just a breakdown by
[10:55]
city. They don't go "Oh, city Sheridan
[10:57]
gets this much and then they go spend
[10:59]
it." And Lone Tree gets this much and
[11:00]
then they go spend. They look at their
[11:02]
district as a whole.
[11:03]
>> Right.
[11:04]
>> And they plan their facilities
[11:05]
accordingly. And then this is just a
[11:07]
breakdown that they did for us so we
[11:09]
could see what's being spent and what's
[11:11]
being budgeted to be spent in Sheridan.
[11:14]
>> And they're going to have our money. Oh,
[11:15]
so they don't have our money to be
[11:17]
spent. That's just how much it's going
[11:20]
to cost for those.
[11:21]
>> Well, they have the They'll be spending
[11:23]
this $6 million.
[11:24]
>> Yeah, that's what I was going to ask. Is
[11:25]
that approved through 5 voters or
[11:28]
>> No, no, no, no. Okay. So, all of this
[11:30]
money's going to get spent next year.
[11:32]
>> Okay.
[11:33]
>> All of this money is what they're saying
[11:35]
in their proposed budget. The 300,000,
[11:37]
that last line item there, is what
[11:39]
they're spending to do some design work
[11:41]
to figure out, okay, what do we want to
[11:43]
ask for the next year, 2028, if we go
[11:47]
for a bond measure that says, okay,
[11:50]
they're going to do this level of
[11:52]
improvements to Sheridan Rec Center,
[11:53]
whatever in the bond question. But they
[11:55]
got to spend a little bit up front to do
[11:57]
some design work to figure out, what do
[11:59]
we want to
[12:00]
>> Okay.
[12:00]
>> How much do we need to ask for?
[12:02]
>> 80 million?
[12:03]
>> Oh, 300,000.
[12:04]
>> Right. That's all design work to look at
[12:08]
all their Rec Centers and figure out,
[12:10]
okay,
[12:11]
what are what level of improvements or
[12:12]
what improvements are they recommending
[12:14]
to make at those Rec Centers.
[12:16]
>> But they are going to replace the roofs
[12:18]
on the roof.
[12:18]
>> Yes, that's happening next year. If it
[12:21]
hasn't started already.
[12:24]
>> South Suburban is that 2 million bucks
[12:26]
at the Sheridan?
[12:27]
>> Yes.
[12:28]
>> Yeah, that's great.
[12:30]
Yeah, it's not It's a pretty good start,
[12:32]
though.
[12:32]
>> It's a pretty good capital outlay right
[12:33]
now.
[12:34]
>> Yeah.
[12:34]
I like that a lot.
[12:36]
>> Um and if we need more info on any of
[12:39]
these, I they'd be happy to come in and
[12:41]
review some of this and kind of talk
[12:42]
about it.
[12:44]
Just wanted you guys to be aware, and I
[12:45]
thought tonight would be a good night to
[12:46]
do it cuz we're talking about capital.
[12:48]
So, let's talk about our capital money.
[12:50]
Um
[12:51]
>> Figure out what Anthony said. It's a
[12:52]
good idea if it's the right price.
[12:54]
>> Yeah. It always is. And and and you
[12:57]
know, that is a very positive step
[12:59]
forward because a couple years ago they
[13:01]
weren't ready to do that at all.
[13:03]
>> It's awesome.
[13:03]
>> Yeah.
[13:04]
So, that's good It's It's a a good good
[13:07]
faith um I think expenditure on behalf
[13:09]
of South Suburban.
[13:10]
>> So, this is this is their plan for what
[13:12]
they're funding for next year, and then
[13:15]
out of
[13:17]
the design pieces, like for the Rec
[13:19]
Center,
[13:21]
>> That would inform a potential ballot
[13:22]
question.
[13:23]
>> That would be what would inform the
[13:25]
flight. Replacement of showers and that
[13:28]
kind of thing.
[13:29]
>> Yes. So, you're going to have design
[13:31]
professionals walk through there and go,
[13:33]
"All right, if you want to do this, we
[13:34]
know it's going to cost this much." So,
[13:36]
you got to pay all those guys to go
[13:37]
through and come up with the whole plan
[13:38]
about, "All right, if you're going to
[13:40]
have to go for a
[13:41]
If you're going to go for a bond
[13:42]
measure, this is what you need to ask
[13:44]
for."
[13:45]
Okay.
[13:46]
Um
[13:48]
Moving to our capital, I think I'm going
[13:50]
to turn it over to Teresa, but I will
[13:52]
just touch on one thing real quick. Um
[13:56]
I uh excused Jeremiah from tonight. They
[13:59]
have a family emergency.
[14:01]
Um his mom's not doing well. They have
[14:03]
family flying in. So, that just stays
[14:06]
here. I don't feel good being public.
[14:07]
That's not public knowledge.
[14:09]
Uh but just to let you know I did it.
[14:11]
So, I'm going to Between Teresa and I,
[14:13]
we'll try and cover. Uh he did a very
[14:15]
good memo in here that outlines the
[14:18]
expenditures and all that. But,
[14:20]
hopefully if if you have questions that
[14:22]
either Teresa or I can't answer, I'll
[14:24]
get you the answers, you know, when
[14:25]
Jeremiah's available. So, okay.
[14:28]
>> Thank you.
[14:28]
>> You bet. Teresa, do you want to touch on
[14:30]
revenues, please?
[14:32]
>> You bet. So, um there are basically two
[14:35]
sources of revenue for the capital fund.
[14:37]
Um every year um in December, the SRA
[14:42]
um distributes um
[14:45]
a portion based on a calculation a
[14:46]
portion of the PIF to the city. And it
[14:50]
was voted upon that 50% of that every
[14:52]
year has to go to is dedicated to
[14:55]
streets and infrastructure structure.
[14:58]
So, we have budgeted 614,178
[15:02]
to be received in 2027.
[15:05]
And then the other is it's just funded
[15:07]
from the general fund. So, that always pays for everything for public
[15:11]
works,
[15:12]
um for the um the police department, um
[15:16]
if we have any servers that we need.
[15:19]
Basically, anything that general fund
[15:21]
would pay for it, that. And we have
[15:23]
budgeted next year for 748,601.
[15:30]
So, that's the two sources of revenue.
[15:33]
Um
[15:37]
If you I'm going to have a skip it down
[15:39]
a few pages. If you go to page
[15:42]
10.
[15:43]
>> [laughter]
[15:50]
» Yeah, so we're going down to the bottom
[15:52]
of of
[15:54]
Yeah, one more page. Sorry, Jenna.
[15:58]
>> All right.
[15:59]
So, basically what I'm
[16:00]
looking at is in that bottom right-hand
[16:02]
corner, our components of fund balance
[16:06]
where you can see that um we have three
[16:10]
bill basically all of our fund balance,
[16:13]
the 3,537,28
[16:16]
is from the 2A revenues that we have
[16:18]
collected.
[16:19]
Um
[16:20]
but we also know that, you know, that it
[16:23]
will help, but it's never going to be
[16:25]
quite enough for what we're going to
[16:27]
need for our streets and infrastructure
[16:29]
needs. But just to let you know, that is
[16:31]
all 2A revenues that have to be
[16:33]
dedicated to streets and infrastructure.
[16:36]
So, I am sorry I skipped kind of down.
[16:38]
Um so, as far as going back up um
[16:41]
on the capital side, um
[16:51]
Did you have any question I I don't think I can answer really
[16:56]
anything on the public works budget, but
[16:57]
did you have any questions on that or on
[16:59]
the public safety um requests that were
[17:02]
put in?
[17:04]
>> Well, yeah. Let me if you don't mind,
[17:05]
Teresa, I'll walk through really quick
[17:08]
on the public
[17:09]
and then the chief's here in case
[17:10]
council has any questions about the um
[17:13]
public safety capital budget.
[17:16]
Um but as you're looking at at
[17:18]
Jeremiah's memo, um um, this one right
[17:20]
here, the 2027 Capital Public Works
[17:22]
Budget.
[17:24]
Uh, pretty basic things we got going on
[17:25]
here. The first one is the pavement
[17:27]
maintenance and repair program. That's
[17:28]
what we That's our main outlay every
[17:30]
year for fixing the streets. All right?
[17:33]
That's what we use this for. It's fixing
[17:35]
the streets. So, you can see
[17:38]
um, we're looking at a proposal of
[17:40]
725,000
[17:43]
uh, for next year. But, the vast
[17:46]
more most of that is doing asphalt
[17:47]
overlay work. Okay?
[17:51]
Uh, and then doing a good amount of chip
[17:53]
seal, slurry seal, cape seal at
[17:55]
$180,000.
[17:56]
And then we also have some miscellaneous
[17:58]
parking uh, or uh, pavement marking,
[18:01]
some concrete repairs. This is where we
[18:03]
do put money in for when we have uh,
[18:06]
concrete repairs, which is primarily
[18:08]
sidewalks. We're doing that. Um, we do
[18:11]
especially in hot summers like we have
[18:13]
now, we see them buckle up. And so,
[18:16]
you'll have them buckle. So, any extreme
[18:18]
temperatures, you've got a lot of hot temperatures now. Um, and then if we
[18:22]
get that followed up with some cold
[18:23]
temperatures, we just find areas where
[18:25]
it buckles and cracks. And so,
[18:27]
um, we generally stick around 50 to
[18:30]
75,000 or even 100,000 into this budget.
[18:33]
We look at that every year.
[18:35]
Um, so that's reflected in here as well.
[18:38]
Uh, kind of unusual is the Union Pacific
[18:40]
Crossing, the next item that we have in
[18:42]
there at $250,000.
[18:44]
So, this is as you guys are are probably
[18:46]
aware, maybe new council members might
[18:48]
or might not be as aware.
[18:50]
Um, the the uh, Union Pacific Crossing
[18:55]
uh, down at Oxford and um,
[18:59]
well, it's kind of well, it's River
[19:00]
Point Parkway and then that turns into
[19:03]
What is it on the other side, Andrew?
[19:05]
>> Zacherias.
[19:06]
thank you. Sorry. Uh, brain
[19:08]
dead there.
[19:09]
Uh, but that being an intersection
[19:11]
there,
[19:12]
uh in working with the Public Utilities
[19:15]
Commission and Union Pacific to do uh
[19:19]
crossing improvements. So, since it
[19:21]
involves the railroad property, there's
[19:23]
it is very very very difficult, very
[19:28]
complicated. Takes years and years. And they're almost almost almost
[19:33]
there.
[19:34]
So, I yeah.
[19:37]
Um I think in Jeremiah's memo he
[19:38]
mentions that we're waiting on
[19:42]
um
[19:43]
the S&P's.
[19:44]
>> Yeah. Basically, we were getting I think
[19:46]
luckily something I specialized in, so
[19:47]
it's going to be kind of nice I think
[19:49]
for Jeremiah. Um and so we redid the
[19:51]
application, had PUC or
[19:54]
look at it, you know, they did kind of
[19:55]
preliminary look to make sure you fill
[19:57]
the boxes, right? Had a couple things
[19:59]
that needed to be tuned up, and we were
[20:00]
sending that back to the engineers, the
[20:02]
consulting engineers, and we'll should
[20:04]
be submitting the application
[20:07]
relatively soon, I think. And that
[20:08]
usually
[20:09]
um about a 60-day process if it's on a
[20:11]
post to get an approval from the PUC.
[20:14]
And then for UP's schedule approval,
[20:16]
it's usually about a year.
[20:17]
>> Okay.
[20:18]
>> So,
[20:18]
>> Okay.
[20:20]
>> Didn't all of those kind of start back
[20:22]
when
[20:23]
Jeff Cruiser went in the whole
[20:25]
>> No, not really.
[20:27]
>> After that?
[20:28]
>> No,
[20:29]
it's always it's always been more of the
[20:31]
crossing, the crossing over the tracks.
[20:35]
Yeah. You know, it definitely has some
[20:37]
grade issues and some things like that,
[20:39]
but that wasn't really affected by any
[20:41]
of the
[20:42]
um storm water.
[20:43]
>> No, the work
[20:45]
to start having with a
[20:48]
railroad
[20:50]
started about that.
[20:51]
>> About that time. It was it was yeah, it
[20:53]
was it was it's been going for years.
[20:56]
Yeah, to try and get this addressed.
[20:58]
Yes.
[20:59]
Um yes, ma'am. So, it's been a long long
[21:02]
road.
[21:03]
Yep.
[21:03]
Um if you go on the next page of the
[21:06]
memo or just paging down, police
[21:08]
department locker rooms. Got $50,000 in
[21:11]
here. This is really just to help wrap
[21:13]
up the project and any miscellaneous
[21:15]
items that we have going into next year.
[21:17]
This year,
[21:19]
we will be doing the majority of the
[21:21]
work and we just wanted to put in some
[21:24]
extra funds as a placeholder in there in
[21:25]
case we needed any additional work that
[21:29]
would needed to be billed into next
[21:30]
year.
[21:33]
Building remodel, we're putting $15,000
[21:36]
in there. And mainly what I want to do
[21:38]
with this money is to do a space
[21:40]
analysis. So, have a
[21:43]
building engineer, somebody that come in
[21:45]
and knows how to look at
[21:47]
building space and interiors and figure
[21:50]
out, okay,
[21:51]
give us some options on how we can most
[21:54]
efficiently use the space that we have.
[21:57]
So, including the new Willamette Villa
[21:59]
property, including and looking at
[22:02]
general government, at the old fire
[22:04]
department space where the detectives
[22:06]
are in.
[22:08]
I think PD's pretty well squared away,
[22:09]
but we'll have them look, you know, and
[22:11]
if they have any suggestions
[22:14]
how can we
[22:15]
have a optimal use of space? Because we
[22:17]
are
[22:19]
um
[22:20]
uh and have been for a little while a
[22:21]
little bit, I feel not using our space
[22:24]
as well as we could. I could be using it
[22:26]
better. So, having somebody come in and
[22:28]
give us some design options on how the
[22:30]
best we can use the space that we have.
[22:34]
Uh
[22:35]
city grounds upgrades, $40,000. That's
[22:37]
looking at improvements and this is kind
[22:39]
of what we talked about. Directly came
[22:41]
from the goal setting session. Looking
[22:43]
around the outside of the building here,
[22:44]
how can we activate the grounds and use
[22:47]
a better job with that?
[22:49]
The restroom remodel, our restrooms do
[22:51]
need to be addressed here in city hall.
[22:53]
They're old.
[22:55]
Uh they need to be upgraded.
[22:57]
The
[22:58]
uh they just they need a little love and
[23:01]
tenderness, so uh we're budgeted $20,000
[23:04]
to look at doing that.
[23:06]
Uh entryway signage, we talked about
[23:09]
that at goal setting, too. Remember some
[23:10]
of the crummy old signage that we have
[23:12]
around here? So, budgeted money into do
[23:15]
that.
[23:15]
>> Nice.
[23:16]
>> And then vehicles and equipment,
[23:18]
$80,000.
[23:20]
Um
[23:20]
I'm trying to remember what
[23:23]
he had in here. Do you remember
[23:25]
specifics on this, Teresa? Cuz I don't.
[23:29]
>> I think wasn't there something about Was
[23:32]
it He was looking at like something like
[23:35]
an
[23:35]
F-650, but that wasn't being made
[23:38]
anymore, so
[23:41]
or something
[23:42]
>> I apologize. I can't remember the
[23:43]
details on this one.
[23:45]
I know
[23:46]
we're looking at doing away with
[23:49]
larger
[23:52]
um
[23:53]
uh
[23:55]
larger plow trucks that you need a CDL
[23:57]
to operate and bringing them down in
[24:00]
like maybe a a 350 or larger or pickup
[24:03]
and put things because we can do a lot
[24:05]
of the work using those and and not have
[24:09]
to have a very expensive plow truck that you
[24:12]
have to have a CDL to do.
[24:14]
They're now we still will have I think
[24:15]
one plow truck, one or two, but
[24:19]
augmenting that with
[24:21]
um with some equipment file equipment
[24:24]
that doesn't require a CDL. And that's
[24:26]
where I need Jeremiah to go into the
[24:28]
specifics. I don't remember exactly the
[24:30]
specifics. But look again, his idea was
[24:33]
being able to utilize
[24:36]
um
[24:36]
looking at at different equipment and
[24:39]
being able to utilize it not only for
[24:41]
summer needs, but we can put a plow onto
[24:44]
the top of it onto the front of it, use
[24:46]
it and plow what we need to in winter.
[24:47]
We don't have to have employees that
[24:49]
have CDLs to use those. And they're
[24:51]
cheaper. Plow trucks are very expensive.
[24:55]
Um
[24:56]
>> But we'd still keep our We
[24:58]
keep room for the larger space.
[25:00]
>> Um
[25:01]
Oh, we would still have some larger Yes.
[25:04]
Yeah.
[25:04]
>> So like Oxford
[25:07]
>> Yeah, there'd just be the
[25:09]
There'd be smaller stuff that we could
[25:11]
do things with or depending on the
[25:13]
volume of the snow, do we need to have
[25:15]
>> Right.
[25:16]
>> Gives us a little bit more flexibility.
[25:18]
Um yeah. And when we get into final last
[25:22]
year, I might be able to give you some
[25:22]
more info on that one. I can't just
[25:24]
can't remember off the top of my head,
[25:26]
yeah.
[25:27]
Uh anything else on public works agenda
[25:31]
or agenda Teresa in your notes that I
[25:35]
missed?
[25:36]
>> No, I didn't have anything else.
[25:38]
>> Okay.
[25:40]
Um
[25:41]
does council have any questions about
[25:43]
any of the public works items or
[25:45]
anything?
[25:46]
>> Yeah, mostly just about that roads one,
[25:48]
you know, our 725 if that's going to be
[25:50]
enough to
[25:52]
keep our streets in good shape and keep
[25:53]
us out of the weeds, you know, for a
[25:55]
good long time like and and making sure
[25:57]
that we have a good plan, you know, to
[25:59]
keep heading in that direction as far as
[26:00]
like avoiding more bond measures or so.
[26:03]
>> It's a great point.
[26:05]
Bluntly, no.
[26:07]
>> Do we need to think about more cuz
[26:09]
>> Well, that's that's one of the reasons
[26:11]
why we're looking at a sales tax.
[26:14]
And and looking at how do we generate
[26:16]
some additional revenue?
[26:18]
>> For public safety?
[26:19]
If we can do that for
[26:21]
public safety, we can take the money
[26:22]
that would have been there and we can
[26:24]
move that and you could use them here.
[26:26]
So, you know, that's one of the rationales for looking
[26:31]
at that.
[26:32]
Um but No, does it Are we currently is
[26:37]
this what we need to be doing every year
[26:39]
to make sure that we're to No, it falls
[26:41]
short.
[26:42]
We need to be doing more.
[26:44]
>> What's Jeremiah's actual number, yeah?
[26:46]
>> Who?
[26:47]
>> What what what Jeremiah's actual
[26:49]
>> Um yeah, it would be a lot more.
[26:52]
Probably almost be double that.
[26:54]
>> Well, yeah, we're going to have to use
[26:56]
our sales tax increase, so that's our
[26:58]
angle and we're looking good on it.
[26:59]
>> Yeah, well, if we look at plugging this
[27:02]
out 10 years, which is what you would
[27:04]
want to do, it falls short of where we
[27:06]
would want to be. So, that's the reason
[27:08]
that we are looking at
[27:11]
all, you know, augmenting our revenue
[27:13]
sources and how that come in.
[27:16]
If that doesn't pan out, we might need
[27:18]
to look at something else.
[27:20]
>> So, uh
[27:21]
I like what they did last year, you
[27:23]
know, they did the same crap the same
[27:25]
kind of thing last year.
[27:26]
>> Mhm.
[27:27]
>> I don't even think they spent that much
[27:28]
that they bought.
[27:29]
>> I don't think we spent quite this much
[27:31]
last year. I can't recall and I don't
[27:33]
know, Chris, if you remember where we
[27:35]
were on 20 or it's probably in the uh
[27:39]
in the spreadsheet, I just don't have
[27:40]
that in front of me.
[27:41]
>> The sales were family or that's what
[27:44]
that one's, right?
[27:45]
>> Uh
[27:46]
>> They call it
[27:47]
>> They had about 500.
[27:49]
>> Was it about 500?
[27:50]
>> Yeah, that's right.
[27:51]
>> The record was right.
[27:53]
>> Yeah.
[27:55]
I'm trying to grab it right now and I
[27:56]
can't, but that sounds right, right
[27:57]
around 500 or so. Yeah. So, we're trying
[28:00]
to put We're absolutely trying to put
[28:03]
more in and keep up as we can.
[28:06]
Yeah.
[28:07]
Okay.
[28:07]
>> Is storm water anywhere here?
[28:10]
>> Oh, we'll get in there.
[28:11]
Oh, yeah. And and
[28:13]
No, this looks good compared to some of
[28:15]
our Yeah.
[28:17]
Okay.
[28:18]
Uh how about we move on to our public
[28:21]
safety uh capital budget request and
[28:24]
Chief, do you want to highlight any of
[28:26]
the stuff that you got in there and and
[28:28]
then we can ask if Council has any
[28:30]
questions?
[28:30]
>> Sure, I can just go over it, if that's
[28:32]
okay.
[28:33]
Um so, the first request that we have is
[28:35]
for um police vehicles. It's important
[28:37]
to keep our fleet up and running and
[28:39]
um replace older units that uh end up
[28:41]
costing more to maintain them. So, this
[28:44]
year we're asking for two police
[28:45]
vehicles. One will be for our patrol,
[28:47]
one will be for our agent administrative
[28:50]
vehicles. Um and the vehicles are
[28:53]
expensive, of course, but then
[28:54]
outfitting them with all the necessary
[28:55]
lights, sirens, etc. gets expensive. But
[28:58]
total for two of them would be $180,000.
[29:02]
Um it would be higher if it was two
[29:03]
patrol vehicles, but the admin vehicle
[29:05]
won't require as much, so it um
[29:09]
comes down a little bit. So, 180,000 is
[29:12]
the ask for the vehicles.
[29:14]
Um body worn cameras, we've talked about
[29:16]
that. Um
[29:17]
we entered into a contract with Axon 5
[29:19]
years ago. It's a You can pay it all up
[29:21]
front or you can pay it via over 5
[29:24]
years. So, we looked at doing that again
[29:25]
with Axon. Did look at um other
[29:28]
competitors that have come into the
[29:30]
market. Um Axon is a much superior
[29:33]
product. Our district attorneys actually
[29:35]
prefer Axon, but if we would have found
[29:37]
something that would have been
[29:39]
uh maybe less expensive, that gave us
[29:41]
everything that we needed and some, we
[29:44]
would have went with them, but Axon uh
[29:45]
won that battle. Even their price ended
[29:47]
up being lower than the major
[29:49]
competitor, which was Motorola. Um so, I
[29:53]
really worked with on them and uh
[29:55]
prodded them with uh some of the
[29:57]
different things that we wanted, and we
[29:58]
were able to get some things that we did
[30:01]
have last time, which should help. Some
[30:02]
of that is video redaction. We're
[30:04]
getting a lot of requests for redaction
[30:06]
of videos, so there are there's new
[30:08]
process to help with that. Um of course,
[30:10]
we still have our storage, which can be
[30:12]
very expensive. Um
[30:14]
and just a couple of other things that
[30:16]
have helped with that, but they kept the
[30:18]
price um
[30:20]
relatively uh it was better than the
[30:22]
other one. The other one was about
[30:23]
$199,000. They didn't give us as much.
[30:26]
So, this one would be $185,000,
[30:28]
but if we spread that over out over 5
[30:30]
years, which is the way I believe we're
[30:31]
going to do it, that's a cost of $29,477
[30:35]
per year. And it's just important to
[30:37]
remember body worn cameras are required
[30:39]
by law, so we do have to um get some
[30:41]
type of camera and our current cameras
[30:45]
even if we kept them we still have to
[30:46]
pay for the same services etc. And those
[30:49]
cameras are batteries are going dead
[30:51]
etc. So this is a good option for us.
[30:55]
The next thing that we have is uh
[30:58]
our less lethal. One of the most
[31:00]
important less lethal options we have is
[31:02]
taser. The [snorts] taser is you know of
[31:05]
course a way to stop someone that is
[31:07]
being combative or in the case of like
[31:09]
even if you look at the incident on the
[31:11]
Bear Creek Trail where the guy was with
[31:13]
a machete and we tried to stop him first
[31:16]
with the taser product that we have.
[31:18]
Those tasers are over 20 years old.
[31:22]
There's newer and better technology
[31:23]
that's out. The one that we would be
[31:25]
getting and that we're asking for is
[31:26]
called the taser 10. That has 10
[31:29]
separate
[31:30]
taser probes that can be shot. So in a
[31:32]
case like on
[31:34]
we had somebody with a knife that on the
[31:36]
trail again or something similar we
[31:38]
could have one person's weapon was fired
[31:41]
10 different times trying to get next to
[31:43]
me to stop that person. So that is a
[31:46]
much better technology and keep our
[31:49]
officers and our community safer.
[31:52]
So it's beyond time that we ask for
[31:53]
that.
[31:55]
contract to get every one of our
[31:57]
officers set up with that is $185,619.
[32:02]
That also can be spread out over 5 years
[32:04]
so it's what we're planning on doing for
[32:06]
a cost of $37,124
[32:09]
per year. And that's something that is
[32:11]
not absolutely required by law but if
[32:13]
you didn't have it and we didn't use
[32:14]
that
[32:16]
there could be a lot more liability on
[32:17]
the city. So it is time that we
[32:20]
definitely look at upgrading those and
[32:22]
being that we were doing both contracts
[32:24]
because of both Axon products it helped
[32:27]
us
[32:28]
get a little bit better deal on both
[32:31]
body worn cameras and the tasers tasers
[32:33]
if we were just doing one. So
[32:35]
those are two biggest requests. Again,
[32:39]
stretching them out over 5 years helps.
[32:42]
And then the other request that we have
[32:44]
is the ballistic shields. We have four
[32:46]
of them. Those are used in um
[32:48]
high-stress situations where somebody
[32:50]
may have a firearm and we do our best to
[32:52]
approach them and keep the officers safe
[32:54]
using ballistic shield.
[32:56]
Those um have a warranty expiration date
[32:59]
on them. Two of ours are expired, so
[33:01]
we're down to two. We'd like to have one
[33:03]
in each of the patrol vehicles for the
[33:05]
sergeants. Um so we're asking to replace
[33:07]
those. Those are a cost of approximately
[33:09]
$7,000 apiece. So for two of them, that
[33:12]
would be $14,000.
[33:15]
And then the other uh request that we're
[33:18]
making is it goes back to our
[33:20]
conversation we had last year about the
[33:22]
cameras. We were looking at Flock
[33:23]
cameras last year for um approximately
[33:26]
six cameras for $18,000.
[33:29]
We don't think we would go to Flock just
[33:30]
because of some of the problems that um
[33:33]
Flock has had and some of the things
[33:34]
that um were the problems. They were
[33:37]
sharing the information too widely and
[33:39]
didn't have the scope to reel it in.
[33:42]
Um but Axon also offers a camera um and
[33:45]
we can look at others, but we have asked
[33:47]
for $18,000 in case we decide that
[33:50]
that's the way that we want to move
[33:51]
forward. I know the cameras can be very
[33:53]
controversial, but I I'm here to tell
[33:55]
you they are very, very beneficial to us
[33:58]
in preventing crime and solving crime.
[34:01]
And I've used that um
[34:02]
example plenty of times about the uh
[34:05]
homicide that we had. Without those, we
[34:07]
probably still wouldn't know who did
[34:08]
that. Um but it's a very important tool
[34:11]
and if we can get involved in the game
[34:13]
with getting a few of the cameras, it
[34:15]
would be very helpful. So
[34:17]
>> And so just to be clear to council,
[34:18]
we're not deciding we're going to buy
[34:20]
Flock cameras tonight. We're just saying
[34:22]
we're going to put money in the budget.
[34:24]
If
[34:25]
at some point next year we decide we've
[34:27]
had a discussion and I want to have a
[34:29]
discussion with council. I know you guys
[34:30]
want to do it. We talked about that in
[34:31]
goal setting. We'll have a discussion
[34:33]
and we'll we'll educate ourselves on
[34:36]
this and make, you know, get you all the
[34:37]
information you guys need to have to
[34:39]
make a good decision on that. Uh and the
[34:41]
money will then be there if you decide
[34:43]
that you want to move forward. If we
[34:45]
don't, it just rolls over into fund
[34:47]
balance, which is fine, too. So.
[34:49]
>> Well, we already kind of agreed on it,
[34:50]
last year.
[34:51]
>> Mhm.
[34:52]
>> We agreed to
[34:53]
approve the budget for the 18 grand for
[34:56]
the Flock cameras last year.
[34:58]
>> Well, we had been looking
[35:00]
at
[35:02]
bringing a contract forward for council
[35:04]
consideration
[35:06]
of that. And in anticipation of that,
[35:08]
we'd put some money It was very similar.
[35:09]
We'd put some money in the budget and
[35:12]
said, "Well, let's work up a contract
[35:14]
and then have a discussion with council
[35:15]
about what that looks like."
[35:17]
And then that's when all holy hell broke
[35:20]
loose on it.
[35:21]
>> Yeah. There were laws that were being
[35:22]
looked at and seeing if they were going
[35:24]
to be available. We didn't want to enter
[35:26]
into a contract and then find out that
[35:27]
we bought cameras that you can't even
[35:29]
use.
[35:29]
>> Even the folks from Flock were saying,
[35:32]
"We wouldn't even enter We're like
[35:33]
They're like saying, 'No, you shouldn't
[35:36]
enter shouldn't do this yet. You need to
[35:37]
wait and see what happens.' So.
[35:39]
>> Yeah.
[35:39]
>> I I do have a question with Oh, sorry,
[35:42]
Jay.
[35:43]
>> Just real quick, is
[35:45]
So, those three things together, is
[35:47]
Flock going to send somebody out to do
[35:49]
all the training on how to use
[35:50]
>> It's most likely not going to be Flock.
[35:53]
>> I thought it was Flock. I thought Flock,
[35:54]
but I may
[35:55]
>> Okay. Axon Axon Axon.
[35:57]
As far as training for any of those?
[35:59]
>> Yeah, I mean, it's a 10-shot taser.
[36:01]
>> You think
[36:01]
>> Yeah, we absolutely will get we
[36:03]
absolutely will get retrained. We have
[36:05]
to qualify with that taser every year
[36:07]
anyway. So, this package contains all of
[36:09]
the practice cartridges that we have. It
[36:12]
also has a training simulator, which is
[36:14]
something we've never had before. So, it
[36:16]
will give us the opportunity to wear
[36:17]
something like the AI glasses that you
[36:20]
can be involved in, you know, like a a
[36:23]
scenario and make commands. And if you
[36:25]
need to use the taser, that you practice
[36:27]
with that. So, there's also some other a
[36:29]
new practical um parts that this helps
[36:32]
with. So, training and then anything
[36:34]
that we need as far as support and
[36:36]
service and training, we will get. It
[36:38]
also allows our um our officers, our
[36:41]
trainers to go and get the training
[36:42]
which they will use. So, yes, they're
[36:44]
absolutely getting new training. new
[36:45]
training. We will not issue the uh taser
[36:48]
10s until everyone receives the
[36:50]
training. Whoever has not received the
[36:52]
training will not get the taser 10 until
[36:55]
they have uh tested with it and
[36:56]
qualified to use it. So, absolutely.
[36:59]
>> Do you still have to be tased to carry
[37:00]
one or is that like
[37:02]
>> There are some departments that do that.
[37:05]
Um
[37:05]
>> I have video of my son being tased.
[37:07]
>> Yes, he should be.
[37:08]
>> Remember when I got a call about tasing
[37:09]
up in the park?
[37:10]
>> Sometimes they ask for volunteers, so
[37:11]
there's some involved.
[37:14]
And but not every officer gets tased to
[37:17]
Um
[37:19]
wrap around the person.
[37:21]
Yeah, that's called wrap technology.
[37:23]
That's that's good for apprehending
[37:24]
somebody that's running. Um cuz what
[37:26]
it'll do is it'll tie It shoots out like
[37:29]
a long string and it goes around and
[37:31]
they're I don't know if it's made to
[37:32]
>> Like string the person.
[37:33]
>> You've seen the side.
[37:34]
>> I've seen that. We've seen
[37:37]
>> And I think they said that
[37:39]
>> Yeah. But it it doesn't work the same as
[37:41]
this um taser. Taser can be used on
[37:44]
somebody who's aggressive, um won't
[37:46]
stop.
[37:46]
>> Right.
[37:47]
>> Whereas the other one's made for someone
[37:49]
who's fleeing.
[37:50]
So, it's just another tool.
[37:52]
Oh, yeah. We've used them often.
[37:54]
Unfortunately,
[37:56]
our our current tasers are not
[37:59]
They're failing more often than they're
[38:00]
working.
[38:01]
>> You guys have issues with them?
[38:02]
>> Yeah.
[38:03]
>> They're old.
[38:04]
>> They're well over well over 20 years
[38:06]
old. So,
[38:08]
>> I have a question, Chief.
[38:09]
>> Yes.
[38:10]
>> Um the admin vehicles, is that the
[38:12]
commander vehicles?
[38:13]
>> It could be a command vehicle. It could
[38:14]
be one for our investigations unit. Um
[38:17]
And our investigations unit's probably
[38:19]
where it's going to go, but
[38:20]
yeah.
[38:21]
>> Well, so as far as the body cam, isn't doesn't Axon also do
[38:28]
like a flock camera as well?
[38:31]
So, my question
[38:32]
>> that Axon does. Do cameras that are
[38:34]
similar to flock cameras. That's what
[38:37]
they first switched over. They had flock
[38:39]
cameras. They switched to Axon cameras.
[38:42]
>> So, now my my question would be a
[38:44]
financial question.
[38:47]
Would
[38:48]
if once we have the discussion and we
[38:50]
have to would they be able to whatever
[38:53]
you've already ordered, add that to the
[38:55]
order and you get a cheaper if
[38:58]
>> We would We would We would remind them
[39:00]
>> to two for one?
[39:01]
>> We would remind them that we are
[39:03]
customers with both their Tasers and
[39:05]
their body worn cameras and use that as
[39:07]
much leverage as we can.
[39:08]
Um and they they know they're competing
[39:10]
with, you know, the other people out
[39:12]
there that are doing that. So,
[39:14]
um
[39:15]
I've seen where they'll just give
[39:17]
somebody
[39:19]
you know, they'll say, "This is how much
[39:20]
it costs." And people accept it, they'll
[39:21]
take it. In this particular case, on
[39:24]
both of ours, we kept saying, "That's
[39:26]
not going to work. That's not going to
[39:27]
work." And we went um for instance, the
[39:29]
last upgrade and everything that we got
[39:31]
on our body worn cameras, they were
[39:33]
asking for $67,000 more than we ended up
[39:36]
getting it for, but I told them it's
[39:37]
just not going to work. And
[39:39]
>> What was the other one? Flock cameras.
[39:40]
Yeah. There is a competitor out there.
[39:42]
We're looking at them, etc. And they
[39:44]
wanted to keep us. So, it was all
[39:46]
legitimate. It was just saying to
[39:48]
>> Yes.
[39:48]
>> We could bundle.
[39:49]
>> We bundled those two. And the cameras
[39:51]
that the amount of cameras that we're
[39:52]
talking about is is a small amount. So,
[39:55]
uh yeah. So, what we would make sure
[39:57]
that we do our best to do is make sure
[39:59]
we compared it to what Flock was, which
[40:01]
was 18,000 for six. So, that's about
[40:03]
$3,000 camera.
[40:05]
Um and that included the camera and you
[40:07]
know, the upkeep, the maintenance. So, I
[40:09]
don't know that there's a lot of um
[40:12]
pushing that we can do in there, but
[40:13]
we'll try to get at least six of them
[40:15]
for that price. That's what my goal is.
[40:17]
>> So, then as far as the recording and the um retrieval of those
[40:21]
recordings, is it the same system that
[40:26]
>> They use evidence. It's called
[40:27]
evidence.com. And and I'm sure they tie
[40:30]
in together. You can use the systems
[40:32]
together. So that may save us some
[40:33]
money, yes.
[40:34]
>> Okay.
[40:36]
>> Which
[40:37]
>> Yeah, which vehicles needed replaced
[40:39]
currently?
[40:40]
>> One of our older vehicles, like the
[40:42]
transmission was going out, we'd want to
[40:44]
pay 7 grand to have the transmission
[40:46]
replaced when we're going to be
[40:47]
replacing it. So that was one of the
[40:49]
older Fords. Um that's going to go out.
[40:52]
And then uh one of the admin vehicles is
[40:55]
starting is probably
[40:57]
9 years old and and it didn't get as
[41:00]
much mileage, but it is getting older
[41:02]
and we need to replace it.
[41:03]
>> So I just want to thank you.
[41:04]
>> Yeah. We try to be pretty proactive as
[41:06]
you know on keeping those fleet uh all
[41:09]
of our fleet, public safety, public
[41:11]
works, keeping all of our fleet up to
[41:13]
speed as much as we can rather than
[41:15]
waiting until it breaks down. We we
[41:17]
replace it before that. That way we get
[41:19]
good auction value, we get good trade-in
[41:21]
value, we get or we just don't run into
[41:23]
the major huge problems and wait waiting
[41:25]
until your fleet gets so old and uh then
[41:27]
you're replacing things on an emergency
[41:29]
basis and you're paying through the
[41:30]
nose.
[41:31]
>> Right.
[41:31]
>> And that's the ghost vehicles we're
[41:32]
using over at Target, putting out at
[41:35]
Costco over there in River. We call it
[41:36]
ghost vehicle because we park it there
[41:38]
and there's nobody really in it, but we
[41:41]
try to deter
[41:42]
>> Mhm.
[41:43]
>> You know, sometimes we do have people
[41:44]
there, but sometimes we don't. So we use
[41:46]
that vehicle. That vehicle that we were
[41:49]
using there was the one people were
[41:50]
there to get over there.
[41:52]
>> It was it was going down.
[41:54]
>> That was just one of the older vehicles
[41:55]
that we were doing our best to But if we
[41:58]
were to put that into regular service,
[41:59]
that wouldn't have worked. It wouldn't
[42:00]
be too unreliable. So
[42:03]
>> Okay.
[42:04]
Any other questions before we move on to
[42:06]
our other funds for tonight? Okay. Um
[42:11]
I'm going to let Teresa take over on
[42:13]
this one primarily. We've got
[42:16]
what I call our special revenue funds.
[42:18]
So, it's open space conservation trust
[42:20]
fund, storm water, debt service,
[42:23]
volunteer fire pension, and Sheridan
[42:25]
Celebrates, even though Sheridan
[42:26]
Celebrates is general fund budget. But,
[42:28]
most of these funds have a We call them
[42:31]
special revenue funds cuz they have a
[42:32]
dedicated revenue source for them. So,
[42:35]
for example, the open space fund has
[42:38]
funding that comes from the uh open
[42:40]
space the the uh county's uh open space
[42:43]
tax and get shared back with us. Um
[42:46]
>> Mhm?
[42:47]
>> Oh.
[42:48]
Um you know, our conservation trust fund
[42:50]
is uh lottery money that comes in from
[42:53]
the state and we get a piece of it. So,
[42:54]
it has special pieces of uh our special
[42:57]
sources of revenue where the money comes
[42:59]
from to these. So, Teresa?
[43:02]
Take it away.
[43:02]
>> All righty.
[43:04]
So, um yeah, like Devin said, the
[43:06]
everything that is kind of our special
[43:08]
funds usually have a their own revenue
[43:11]
source. So, open space fund, as you
[43:12]
know, we get the annual share back from
[43:15]
Arapahoe County. Um I've budgeted
[43:17]
235,597
[43:20]
for that. Um the other items are we have
[43:24]
the GOCO Inspire Grant, which that has
[43:26]
been ongoing and we're going to continue
[43:28]
with that. And then, the other items the
[43:31]
other grant items were things that we
[43:33]
had budgeted this year, but are getting
[43:35]
moved to next year.
[43:37]
And that's for the Mary Carter Greenway
[43:39]
widening grant, the Bear Creek Trail
[43:42]
widening, and the Bear Creek Trailhead.
[43:45]
So, that's kind of money's coming in.
[43:47]
And then, as you'll see, you're going to
[43:49]
have the offsetting expenses for all
[43:51]
those grants. So, you know, your GOCO
[43:52]
Inspire, you know, um
[43:55]
the federal project we're going to be
[43:56]
working on that the 3600 South Federal,
[43:59]
and then like we said, all the grants
[44:01]
that we talked about up above, we're going to
[44:04]
be having the expenses for those down
[44:06]
below.
[44:08]
Um, so we're just and I think whatever
[44:10]
Devin gave you probably has
[44:12]
from South Suburban probably had um some
[44:15]
of that information in there as well.
[44:18]
Yeah. So moving on to our
[44:19]
>> one of those items are their match to
[44:21]
these projects.
[44:23]
>> Mhm.
[44:27]
» The next budget that we're going to talk
[44:28]
about is our conservation trust fund.
[44:31]
Um, we from there we get quarterly right
[44:34]
lottery revenue.
[44:35]
Um, so that we've got that budget at
[44:37]
36598
[44:39]
and then a small amount of interest
[44:41]
coming in.
[44:42]
Um, our conservation trust fund has a
[44:45]
little bit stricter rules than open
[44:46]
space.
[44:48]
Um, so we usually tend to kind of
[44:50]
collect that for a few years until we
[44:53]
have a project that will fit well for
[44:54]
that. So it pays for the ongoing
[44:56]
maintenance of parks. Um, so that's
[44:59]
where we're we've got those for the
[45:02]
18,000 for Bobcat, Wildcat, Pioneer, and
[45:05]
Veterans Park. And then we always just
[45:08]
put a little amount in there for
[45:09]
miscellaneous park projects so that if
[45:11]
we have anything come up we're able to,
[45:13]
you know, go ahead and fix it or take
[45:15]
care of it if we need to.
[45:17]
>> And that's and that's really so that we
[45:19]
just don't have to do a budget
[45:20]
amendment. We'll still come to the
[45:22]
council if we have a project, we'll
[45:24]
still go by you, make sure that you
[45:26]
bless it, that you're okay with it, but
[45:28]
then we just don't have to do a budget
[45:30]
amendment to to do the project if it's a
[45:32]
small little miscellaneous project.
[45:39]
» So on our storm water fund I'm going to
[45:42]
press pause on that and go to the debt
[45:44]
service fund because Jeremiah actually
[45:46]
wrote up a nice memo for the storm water. Um, so
[45:50]
our debt service revenues, um, as you
[45:52]
know that we refinanced the bonds all
[45:54]
but one
[45:56]
um part of the 2016 bond. So looking at
[45:59]
next year for the property tax and
[46:02]
specific ownership, we're going to have
[46:04]
to assess an 8.552
[46:07]
mill levy. Um this always makes me happy
[46:10]
when I tell you this because when we
[46:12]
started this prom it started this
[46:15]
project what our commitment was to the
[46:18]
citizens was they would never have over
[46:21]
a 20 mill mill levy. So
[46:24]
it just keeps getting lower. So I just
[46:27]
love that cuz that's better for our
[46:28]
constituents. So yes, I always like that
[46:31]
we have such a low mill levy. So um and
[46:34]
then we have the transfer for the um
[46:37]
COP payment um of 372 275.
[46:41]
And then of course with that service,
[46:42]
we're paying our bond principal, our
[46:44]
bond interest, and then our COP
[46:46]
principal and interest.
[46:50]
Our volunteer fire pension fund
[46:52]
we really kept that a lot the same. Um
[46:54]
the city will make their 50,000
[46:56]
matching.
[46:57]
I will apply for the um grant with the
[47:00]
state for 23,194.
[47:03]
And then the benefit expenses we have
[47:05]
been coming under those. So we're just
[47:07]
going to leave that at 90.
[47:10]
And then Sheridan celebrates, we did
[47:12]
have one change that uh Jean wanted to
[47:15]
note and that was that we have started
[47:18]
having um interpretation and translation
[47:21]
expense. So we have broken that out. So
[47:23]
you will see there is a $2,000 line item
[47:26]
for that in their budget. That's a
[47:28]
little different from what it was in the
[47:29]
past.
[47:31]
And then moving on down to the storm
[47:34]
water public works
[47:37]
I think this year from
[47:40]
in talking to Jeremiah and Devon is
[47:42]
we're really going to
[47:44]
the storm water rate model is going to
[47:48]
get done.
[47:48]
>> [laughter]
[47:49]
>> I think there has to be
[47:51]
um I think Jeremiah has looked into it
[47:54]
and I I there's a lot of like he needs
[47:56]
computer software or he needs some
[47:58]
things to
[47:59]
I believe I'm not going to say all this
[48:01]
right, but basically to get all them
[48:03]
information in the system so we have it
[48:05]
documented
[48:07]
and then they can build that that rate
[48:09]
model off of it once he kind of has all
[48:12]
of that in there. And so we will for
[48:15]
2027 for the revenue we do have as we
[48:17]
have in the past we've always just
[48:19]
increased the stormwater bills by 10%
[48:23]
until we get that final rate model. So
[48:26]
that's what we have for revenue increase
[48:28]
and then like I said we're I think we
[48:30]
are going to get this wrapped up and get
[48:32]
the rate model and
[48:34]
all of that going so we have a better
[48:36]
picture of what we really need to do for
[48:38]
the stormwater.
[48:41]
» Yeah.
[48:42]
Um
[48:44]
So let me let me just that was very good
[48:47]
summary by Teresa. Let me just touch on
[48:48]
a little bit here. You know, if you
[48:50]
remember during our goal setting we were
[48:52]
talking about the stormwater fund. It is
[48:54]
not sustainable. It's not in a
[48:56]
sustainable place. We've been knowing
[48:58]
we've known this for a while.
[49:00]
Um so in order to build a sustainable
[49:04]
rate model, you have to know uh what
[49:08]
kind of system you have, how much does
[49:11]
it cost to for that system to provide
[49:14]
the service and how much does it cost to
[49:15]
maintain it, how much does it cost for
[49:17]
capital replacement of it over a span of
[49:20]
years. So that's what we do and we bring
[49:22]
in
[49:23]
um a a rate modeler and that's what this
[49:26]
$50,000 is to go out, make sure we
[49:29]
understand exactly what the system
[49:31]
involves.
[49:32]
Um it would be um looking at TVing it,
[49:36]
doing all the kind of stuff, making sure
[49:38]
we do an assessment of its condition,
[49:40]
all those kind of things.
[49:42]
Uh and then have them look at that. Then
[49:44]
once you know what is the cost to
[49:47]
provide the service then you can build a
[49:49]
rate model around that.
[49:50]
>> Okay.
[49:50]
>> them modelers?
[49:51]
>> Mhm.
[49:52]
>> Do they call themselves modelers?
[49:54]
>> Oh, no.
[49:56]
>> No, I was really curious. I'm like
[49:57]
>> No, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they they It's
[50:00]
just It's contractors. It'd be a
[50:02]
contractor that you hire that does that
[50:05]
kind of work. Yeah. Uh the last time I
[50:08]
did this, I did one for the town of
[50:10]
Dillon, and the guy we hired to do it
[50:13]
got hired away by Denver Water to do
[50:15]
their rate modeling for them. So, it's
[50:17]
some guys that some people specialize in
[50:20]
>> And it's rare. That's what I was My next
[50:22]
question was is modelers, there's
[50:23]
probably
[50:24]
few of them out there, right?
[50:26]
>> There's There's some that specialize in
[50:28]
it, and there's a few companies out
[50:29]
there that will do this work.
[50:31]
>> Oh.
[50:31]
>> So, you'll we'll get a handful of bids
[50:34]
from people to come and do the work for
[50:36]
you.
[50:36]
>> Yeah. That was exactly what I meant.
[50:38]
>> Yep.
[50:39]
Um
[50:39]
>> How many do you think we'll get on it if
[50:41]
there's
[50:41]
few modelers?
[50:42]
>> if if we got for a system our size, this
[50:45]
small, if we get two or three, I'd be
[50:46]
ecstatic.
[50:47]
>> Okay.
[50:48]
>> Yeah.
[50:48]
>> All right. Cool.
[50:49]
>> Um
[50:51]
But we do also need to buy some computer
[50:53]
software that helps us maintain that
[50:55]
system, catalog that system, all this,
[50:57]
you know, we don't have We don't have
[50:59]
anything that does our storm water
[51:01]
system right now. So, we need that. Uh
[51:03]
and then um cleaning and video. So, we
[51:06]
definitely um and this takes me into the
[51:09]
last item I'll talk about on storm. Uh
[51:12]
we do need to get in there. We do have
[51:14]
areas of our storm water that needs to
[51:16]
be cleaned up, that needs maintenance.
[51:18]
Um we need to go in there, and the best
[51:20]
way to know all that is that you video
[51:22]
it all, so you can see have a visual
[51:24]
record of what you have in there, and
[51:25]
then go out and have that cleaned up.
[51:27]
So, we got 50,000 in uh the capital for
[51:31]
doing that for next year. We're going to
[51:32]
be doing some of that right away,
[51:34]
though. Uh and I wanted to This is one
[51:36]
thing Jeremiah
[51:38]
uh was going to talk to council tonight
[51:40]
uh before he had that family emergency.
[51:42]
And if I can just take 5 minutes, I'll
[51:44]
talk about it. So, we had the big storm
[51:47]
event. And we had uh
[51:50]
a bit of flooding in the city as almost
[51:53]
everybody had some flooding going on in
[51:55]
across the metro area.
[51:57]
Um by and large, our storm water system
[52:00]
did what it needed to do.
[52:02]
It uh it collected it put it the storm
[52:05]
water into the areas that it needed to
[52:07]
go to. It drained out as it needed to
[52:10]
drain.
[52:11]
Uh but there were some areas where it
[52:13]
didn't work great. And we had some
[52:15]
blockages.
[52:16]
Uh we had some areas of flooding. So, um
[52:20]
we have engaged with a company that we
[52:24]
used to do some of the work at the VFW
[52:27]
that needed to be done. And they're
[52:28]
going to do some alleyway work. Our
[52:29]
alleyways need some work that um when
[52:32]
you have big washout events like this,
[52:35]
it just exacerbates the problems when
[52:37]
you have
[52:38]
um some of the older dirt alleys like we
[52:40]
have. So, we're going to have them do
[52:43]
some work on our alleys that will help
[52:45]
um with washout that we've saw. They're
[52:47]
going to do the alleyway
[52:50]
um between Girard and Hampton. Um
[52:53]
that'll be involving reclaiming gravel
[52:55]
and stabilizing it and prepping it for
[52:58]
pave paving next year.
[53:00]
We'll do the
[53:02]
uh the alleyway
[53:04]
um between Kenosha and Bryant on Girard.
[53:09]
That'll be again reclaiming gravel and
[53:11]
stabilizing.
[53:13]
Uh and then on South King and Mansfield,
[53:15]
that alley that way will pave
[53:18]
uh this year.
[53:20]
So, in addition to doing that, we also
[53:22]
have um a couple companies that are
[53:24]
scheduling
[53:26]
uh in the next 2 weeks to do video uh
[53:29]
additional video inspection and jet
[53:31]
clean
[53:32]
of the lights. So, we had with that, you
[53:34]
know, you guys saw the pictures probably
[53:35]
too. You know, a lot of stuff washed
[53:37]
down into the drainage into the inlets
[53:40]
into the area and it they need to be um
[53:43]
we need to go in and video it, see where
[53:44]
the blockages are, jet clean them where
[53:46]
we can, and get that stuff out so that
[53:48]
they're ready for the next storm, and we
[53:50]
don't have backups. So, all of that is
[53:52]
going on right now uh in addressing the
[53:56]
uh latest big storm that we had. So, for
[53:59]
again, the system worked pretty well. It
[54:02]
really I mean, compared to what it was
[54:04]
before we made all the improvements on
[54:05]
the stormwater um system in uh about 10
[54:08]
years ago, and everything I mean, it it
[54:11]
was very good. Compared to how it could
[54:14]
have been.
[54:14]
>> You learned all them swimming pools at
[54:16]
the end of the day. Nobody's swimming.
[54:18]
>> Yeah. Well, you we used to have any kind
[54:20]
of rain in over here in uh over here in
[54:23]
the on uh
[54:25]
It was just just
[54:26]
um south of Dallas is what was it on?
[54:29]
>> Decatur.
[54:30]
Yeah, we had the the big uh the
[54:32]
swimming hole over there.
[54:33]
>> Yeah, great.
[54:34]
>> That's gone.
[54:35]
Woo.
[54:36]
Yeah, that's [clears throat] that's gone
[54:38]
pretty soon.
[54:38]
>> Thanks goodness on that.
[54:40]
>> Um
[54:40]
>> Thank you.
[54:41]
>> Teresa, anything I missed on stormwater?
[54:45]
>> No, I think that covers it all.
[54:47]
>> Okay. Any questions the council had on
[54:50]
stormwater?
[54:51]
>> Yeah.
[54:52]
>> It was more about the road.
[54:54]
>> Okay.
[54:54]
>> I just wanted to know where there would
[54:55]
be any alleys left unpaved.
[54:57]
I was wondering if we had an idea of how
[54:59]
many more there were.
[55:00]
>> We got a handful of them, so you we do.
[55:02]
So, um that's something that we
[55:04]
definitely want to get to at one point
[55:06]
is kind of paving as we go. We don't we
[55:08]
can't do it all at once. We just We
[55:10]
don't have the real funding to do that.
[55:12]
>> couple of them.
[55:12]
>> But doing one or two a year or so, or in
[55:15]
some of the more problem ones that are
[55:17]
what we see with that washout. Um so,
[55:20]
that's definitely on on Jeremiah's radar
[55:23]
to do a lot of that. And
[55:25]
um looking at bringing on contractors to
[55:28]
more cleaning and maintenance in the
[55:29]
alleys that are um either gravel at this
[55:33]
point, or they're you know, that we
[55:34]
can't get to quite yet. And making sure
[55:36]
that we're still doing that we can go
[55:38]
through and grade it. We can do some of
[55:39]
that work and making sure we're doing
[55:41]
that.
[55:41]
>> Sounds good.
[55:42]
>> Yeah, you're good to go.
[55:43]
Um
[55:45]
>> Is your space something Are you at
[55:47]
>> I'm hoping that it's the one that's
[55:49]
right between Mansfield and Milan and
[55:52]
King and
[55:54]
>> Yes.
[55:55]
>> Yeah, is that it? It's such a mess.
[55:57]
>> I'm pretty sure it's
[55:58]
>> Oh, it's all dirt and it's a four-wheel
[56:00]
drive trail.
[56:01]
>> So,
[56:02]
um what So, the alley between South King
[56:05]
and West Mansfield,
[56:09]
uh will be paved by our patching company
[56:11]
because erosion is problematic due to
[56:12]
the steep grades and constant washout.
[56:15]
So, I think it's Southland Jane. I
[56:16]
apologize. So good for Jeremy sent me
[56:18]
pictures, but I wasn't able to get them.
[56:21]
But, I'm pretty sure it's Southland.
[56:22]
>> It felt so.
[56:23]
>> Yes, and I'll verify that for you. Um
[56:27]
We've got a couple minutes, Mayor, so
[56:30]
unless there's other questions.
[56:32]
Tonight's pretty straightforward.
[56:35]
Yeah, any questions on any of the items
[56:37]
that we have on uh tonight? It's a
[56:39]
second reading of the ordinance.
[56:41]
>> Ordinance.
[56:41]
>> Sales tax.
[56:42]
>> Anthony has a question.
[56:43]
>> Okay.
[56:44]
>> This is unrelated, but the Sheridan
[56:45]
celebrated were
[56:47]
we're interested in if we could get
[56:49]
possibly a city vehicle, maybe an
[56:51]
electric vehicle to have for the parade.
[56:54]
>> In the parade.
[56:56]
>> Oh, to to like
[56:57]
>> To be in the
[56:58]
>> Just drive around in it? Yeah, we could
[57:00]
do our one that has the has all the
[57:02]
markings on it.
[57:03]
>> Yeah.
[57:03]
>> You know, that would be awesome.
[57:04]
>> sounds perfect.
[57:05]
>> Yeah, yeah.
[57:05]
>> That's what we need.
[57:07]
>> Yeah, you know, we can absolutely do
[57:08]
that.
[57:09]
>> Thank you.
[57:09]
>> Yeah, we'll I'll I'll volunteer someone
[57:11]
to drive it.
[57:14]
Or you guys can do it either way.
[57:21]
Yeah, your idea, you get to drive it,
[57:23]
right?
[57:24]
Okay.
[57:25]
There you go.
[57:26]
That sounds good.
[57:27]
>> And check the mailboxes. Or anyone else
[57:29]
that has any ideas for parade entries.
[57:33]
>> I think I have a parade entries have
[57:34]
been hard to come by nowadays.
[57:36]
>> Because of the gas prices and the COVID.
[57:40]
So.
[57:41]
You want to walk or ride a horse or ride
[57:43]
a bike or whatever.
[57:44]
>> Yeah. Life is a horse.
[57:46]
>> That's that's what
[57:49]
» Get you a horse you have to get it
[57:50]
>> You get a horse.
[57:53]
I'm going to give you some of the little
[57:54]
signs
[57:55]
that you you know you represent the city
[57:57]
of Paradise.
[57:59]
>> We should have
[58:00]

[1:09:56]
Hi Brandon. Nice to meet See you this
[1:09:58]
evening.
[1:10:01]
Uh-oh.
[1:10:04]
» Well, I have nothing to report, but
[1:10:05]
thank you for welcoming you.
[1:10:14]
» City manager.
[1:10:15]
>> [laughter]
[1:10:18]
» Uh
[1:10:19]
>> your turn.
[1:10:20]
>> Yeah, thank you, Mayor.
[1:10:21]
Uh, you have my written report in front
[1:10:23]
of you. Just a one or two things I'll
[1:10:24]
touch on there.
[1:10:26]
Um,
[1:10:27]
where did it go?
[1:10:28]
Um,
[1:10:29]
the second item I have on there, cable
[1:10:31]
franchise agreement.
[1:10:33]
Uh, I did have an initial meeting with,
[1:10:35]
uh, a representative from Comcast to
[1:10:37]
talk about the city's, uh, cable
[1:10:39]
franchise agreement. It did expire in
[1:10:42]
2024, but that's not necessarily
[1:10:44]
unusual. I've been informed by our the
[1:10:47]
city attorney who luckily for us happens
[1:10:49]
to be an expert on cable franchise
[1:10:52]
agreement. So, um,
[1:10:54]
just wanted to let you guys know that
[1:10:55]
we're we'll begin working with uh,
[1:10:58]
Comcast on renewing that franchise and
[1:11:00]
we've got one of the best attorneys in
[1:11:01]
the whole state to help us do it. So,
[1:11:03]
yay.
[1:11:04]
Um
[1:11:06]
It means I don't have to do it.
[1:11:08]
>> [laughter]
[1:11:12]
» Yeah.
[1:11:14]
Um sorry, hold on. Um oh, the the only
[1:11:17]
other thing, the very last item on
[1:11:19]
there, we our staff is issuing an RFP or
[1:11:23]
has issued an RFP to bring on a new
[1:11:27]
operations and maintenance vendor for
[1:11:28]
our EV chargers. The as you guys
[1:11:31]
probably know that the screens on there
[1:11:33]
got burned out. And so, they're very
[1:11:36]
difficult to see if not impossible to
[1:11:38]
see on the screen. You can still charge
[1:11:39]
your car using the app and a few people
[1:11:42]
do that, but we lost quite a few
[1:11:44]
customers
[1:11:46]
once the operability of the screens went
[1:11:49]
by the wayside. And we tried to get our vendor that we had at the time to
[1:11:53]
out to do something about it. It was
[1:11:54]
just not working very well. So, we're
[1:11:57]
put out an RFP to get somebody new on
[1:11:59]
board
[1:12:01]
and address the issues that we've had
[1:12:03]
with the with the screens and the
[1:12:05]
operability of the chargers there. So,
[1:12:07]
just wanted you to know that that's in
[1:12:09]
progress.
[1:12:11]
>> Devon, I have I have a question then on
[1:12:14]
the EV chargers.
[1:12:17]
Um
[1:12:18]
will there be like
[1:12:21]
a kind of a push to say, "Hey, our
[1:12:23]
chargers are up and operating now in
[1:12:25]
order to get those customers back?"
[1:12:27]
>> Yeah, we'll do Yeah, we can do things we
[1:12:29]
can look at doing a number of things
[1:12:31]
even
[1:12:32]
when chargers in cities have done this
[1:12:34]
and a lot of places do this. When
[1:12:36]
chargers are brand new, they'll do like
[1:12:38]
they'll do a free month.
[1:12:40]
Or they'll do a free period of time when
[1:12:43]
people can come and just use them for
[1:12:44]
free. There's also all kinds of apps
[1:12:47]
that are out there and you can promote
[1:12:49]
your chargers on the apps and you can
[1:12:51]
hopefully maybe we can look at having
[1:12:53]
our new vendor push back out to the apps
[1:12:55]
and say hey um these chargers are are
[1:12:58]
back in operating. They are they've
[1:13:00]
always been operating. They just the
[1:13:01]
screens have been
[1:13:03]
yeah.
[1:13:03]
>> in their in customers minds.
[1:13:05]
>> Yes.
[1:13:06]
>> They're not working.
[1:13:06]
>> Yeah, so and we'll put the word out on
[1:13:09]
all of our social media all of our ways.
[1:13:12]
So we'll try and push the air and get
[1:13:13]
people back to using it. But it was very
[1:13:16]
unfortunate. Yeah, I think we definitely lost customers for for
[1:13:21]
that. And we're not in it to make money.
[1:13:23]
We don't make hardly any money on it at
[1:13:25]
all. It's a service for our our citizens
[1:13:28]
and we just want them to have you know
[1:13:30]
good service and an opportunity to come
[1:13:31]
and use the you know a high speed
[1:13:33]
charger here.
[1:13:35]
>> And
[1:13:35]
>> [clears throat]
[1:13:35]
>> and then I have one more question since we didn't
[1:13:39]
cuz we were busy with budgeting and what
[1:13:41]
have you earlier. The cable franchise So
[1:13:44]
does that mean all of the
[1:13:47]
um Xfinity
[1:13:50]
>> So cable fran So cable franchising is
[1:13:52]
just for the TV product. It doesn't deal
[1:13:55]
with the internet product at all. But
[1:13:57]
what it it really is is authorization to
[1:13:59]
use the right away at the end of the day
[1:14:01]
and all the rules and regulations around
[1:14:03]
using the right away in exchange for our
[1:14:05]
franchise fee.
[1:14:06]
>> Okay.
[1:14:08]
>> But we have we have separate franchise
[1:14:10]
agreements say with Excel we have a
[1:14:12]
franchise agreement with Comcast we have
[1:14:14]
a franchise agreement. So we don't have
[1:14:15]
one agreement that applies to everybody
[1:14:17]
who uses the right away.
[1:14:19]
>> There's several laws um for
[1:14:21]
all these different utilities and cable
[1:14:23]
is governed by the cable act which is a
[1:14:25]
law from the 80s so there's very
[1:14:26]
specific things that have to be
[1:14:28]
um done in these franchises.
[1:14:31]
>> So then Brandon can I ask just one more
[1:14:33]
question? I know I was at the library
[1:14:35]
trying to use the fax machine
[1:14:38]
and it's a cable that runs from 7-Eleven
[1:14:42]
to the library and is
[1:14:45]
underground
[1:14:47]
some type of
[1:14:50]
>> Yeah, I mean I don't know
[1:14:51]
>> And it's So, they had to replace
[1:14:54]
the fax machine to work Bluetooth
[1:14:57]
because that thing kept not working.
[1:15:00]
So.
[1:15:01]
>> Yeah, I mean that could be a variety of
[1:15:03]
different providers.
[1:15:04]
>> Right. I mean I I have no idea who the
[1:15:05]
provider is, but when you're talking to
[1:15:09]
the for cable franchising
[1:15:11]
um
[1:15:15]
Does that include the cable that's
[1:15:16]
buried or out there or anything or just
[1:15:20]
>> I mean the short answer is no
[1:15:22]
because that that cable is either
[1:15:25]
broadband internet product or it's a
[1:15:27]
copper phone product.
[1:15:29]
Both of which are separate regulatory
[1:15:31]
issues.
[1:15:32]
We are only allowed to regulate the
[1:15:33]
cable franchise cable TV and that is a
[1:15:37]
>> That's it.
[1:15:39]
Just questioning.
[1:15:42]
Cuz cable can mean a lot of things to a
[1:15:43]
lot of people.
[1:15:44]
>> Mhm. Oh, for sure.
[1:15:46]
>> Okay.
[1:15:46]
>> That's all I got, Mary. Happy to answer
[1:15:48]
questions.
[1:15:48]
>> Thanks.
[1:15:49]
>> Mhm.
[1:15:53]
» Jeez.
[1:15:55]
>> I just had a backpack giveaway at Ellis
[1:15:57]
Terry wanted to let you know about. We
[1:15:59]
gave out some about 200 backpacks to our
[1:16:02]
students going back to school there. So,
[1:16:04]
that was a good opportunity to get with
[1:16:06]
them. And then we had active shooter
[1:16:08]
training over in a building in Englewood
[1:16:11]
that is going to be torn down. So, it is
[1:16:13]
a really huge building about a
[1:16:16]
city block long and there's plenty of
[1:16:18]
different doors and hallways. So, it was
[1:16:19]
a real good opportunity to train in a
[1:16:23]
place that you can't possibly know where
[1:16:26]
a active shooter
[1:16:28]
you know, where the bad guy would be
[1:16:29]
hiding etc. So, we did that in
[1:16:31]
partnership with Glendale.
[1:16:33]
Glendale's sergeant
[1:16:36]
wife works for the company. So, they've
[1:16:39]
been very law law friendly and allowed
[1:16:41]
us to go over there, so
[1:16:43]
um we had a really good day of training
[1:16:44]
there. We use what we call Sims
[1:16:46]
ammunition, which is kind of like
[1:16:48]
paintball, but they're smaller and they
[1:16:51]
uh they hurt just like a paintball does.
[1:16:53]
So, it makes it real um
[1:16:56]
realistic, and the officers have to um
[1:16:59]
sometimes they get hit with the paint
[1:17:00]
balls or the Sims, and it hurts, but
[1:17:02]
it's uh makes it a lot more realistic.
[1:17:05]
So, a good day of training over there,
[1:17:07]
and we've been able to do that with both
[1:17:08]
sides of our house over there. So, just
[1:17:10]
wanted to bring you up to date on that.
[1:17:12]
Happy to answer any questions,
[1:17:14]
Councilman.
[1:17:17]
» Is this
[1:17:18]
Oh, sorry. I was wondering how you uh
[1:17:20]
funded your uh
[1:17:22]
backpack, you know, your community
[1:17:24]
involvement, how you guys uh did you do
[1:17:26]
fundraisers for that?
[1:17:27]
>> No, actually we partner with uh another
[1:17:30]
agency. Um why can't I think of their
[1:17:33]
name right now? Um
[1:17:35]
Precious. Precious Child. Um so, they're
[1:17:38]
uh
[1:17:39]
they're a um
[1:17:41]
company or a business or nonprofit that
[1:17:43]
is basically up north, but um a few
[1:17:46]
years ago I got connected with them, and
[1:17:47]
we've applied, and we've been lucky
[1:17:49]
enough to be selected each year that um
[1:17:51]
I've been doing it the last 5 years. So,
[1:17:54]
they're the ones that supply all the
[1:17:55]
backpacks from their nonprofit
[1:17:57]
organization. And the backpacks come
[1:17:59]
full with supplies, so it's not just the
[1:18:01]
backpack. Comes with pencils and
[1:18:04]
crayons, and they're kind of grade
[1:18:06]
specific, and that's why we choose one
[1:18:08]
school at a time. Um we chose for the
[1:18:10]
younger kids this year.
[1:18:12]
>> Thanks for doing that, Chief.
[1:18:14]
>> You're welcome.
[1:18:15]
Precious Child.
[1:18:20]
Any other questions?
[1:18:22]
>> Do you have a question?
[1:18:25]
Okay.
[1:18:28]
No. No questions. Anyone else questions?
[1:18:31]
Okay.
[1:18:32]
Uh next we have the minutes from the
[1:18:34]
regular City Council meeting of August
[1:18:36]
10th, 2026
[1:18:38]
um is um
[1:18:41]
I have a motion from Councilman Camacho
[1:18:45]
and a second from Mayor Pro Tem Michael
[1:18:48]
Moreno. Um
[1:18:52]
Questions?
[1:18:55]
No. Hearing none, we can go ahead and
[1:18:57]
cast our votes.
[1:19:01]
That passes unanimously. Uh next we have
[1:19:04]
the consent agenda including approval of
[1:19:06]
disbursements from August 1st, 2026 to
[1:19:08]
August 15th, 2026 in the amount of
[1:19:11]
$576,061.61.
[1:19:16]
And y'all do this stuff on purpose,
[1:19:17]
don't you?
[1:19:22]
We
[1:19:24]
Uh we have a motion from Councilmember
[1:19:26]
Whitaker and a second from Councilwoman
[1:19:29]
Standing.
[1:19:31]
Are there any questions other than how
[1:19:33]
do these numbers
[1:19:35]
keep showing up 61 and 61 cents and 76
[1:19:39]
cents? It's just
[1:19:41]
mind-boggling.
[1:19:45]
We can cast our votes. That passes
[1:19:47]
unanimously
[1:19:49]
uh with seven votes.
[1:19:51]
Um
[1:19:52]
There are no public hearings
[1:19:54]
um this evening.
[1:19:56]
Um the next item is
[1:19:58]
um
[1:20:00]
Ordinance uh
[1:20:02]
132020
[1:20:04]
13-2026
[1:20:06]
is an ordinance of the City Council of
[1:20:08]
the City of Sheridan referring to city
[1:20:09]
voters
[1:20:11]
a 0.50%
[1:20:13]
increase in the city sales tax sales and
[1:20:16]
use tax for public safety purposes.
[1:20:28]
Um we have a motion by Councilmember
[1:20:31]
Whitaker and a second by
[1:20:34]
uh uh
[1:20:35]
>> It's a matter of law. We will need a
[1:20:36]
public hearing for this cuz there's a um
[1:20:39]
second reading.
[1:20:40]
Yeah.
[1:20:42]
» It is a second.
[1:20:44]
>> Yeah. So, for all second readings of
[1:20:46]
>> Question. Don't we have to have a
[1:20:50]
motion and a second and it be on the
[1:20:52]
table for the hearing to start?
[1:20:54]
>> We have the public hearing be prior to the motion and the second.
[1:20:57]
Motion and second is prior to
[1:20:58]
discussion.
[1:20:59]
>> Okay.
[1:20:59]
>> Um so, usually
[1:21:01]
>> it backwards.
[1:21:01]
>> If we have a staff presentation, I just
[1:21:03]
I mean there isn't this case. We've
[1:21:04]
talked about it quite a bit. All the
[1:21:06]
evidence is collected, then we move into
[1:21:08]
the motion, the second, and discussion.
[1:21:11]
>> Because this then I will open up the
[1:21:13]
hearing?
[1:21:15]
>> Yes.
[1:21:15]
>> And I
[1:21:16]
Are there
[1:21:17]
anyone to speak in the hearing?
[1:21:21]
I will now close the hearing.
[1:21:27]
Okay. Thanks.
[1:21:31]
Now we have
[1:21:33]
a motion
[1:21:34]
from Councilman Whitaker and a
[1:21:37]
uh second from Mayor Pro Tem
[1:21:40]
uh Moreno.
[1:21:41]
Are there any question on the second
[1:21:44]
reading of ordinance 13-2026?
[1:21:50]
Hearing none, we can go ahead and cast
[1:21:51]
the votes.
[1:21:59]
Ordinances on first reading, there are
[1:22:02]
none this evening.
[1:22:04]
Um there are also no resolutions
[1:22:07]
um this evening.
[1:22:09]
Um we do have the volunteer fire pension
[1:22:11]
board semi-annual report.
[1:22:16]
And
[1:22:17]
>> Good evening, everyone.
[1:22:19]
>> Good evening,
[1:22:20]
Teresa.
[1:22:21]
>> I I have did this once tonight, so I
[1:22:24]
should get it better this time. So, hey,
[1:22:26]
on page 51 of your report, um we're
[1:22:30]
actually going to kind of focus on the
[1:22:32]
last two columns.
[1:22:34]
Um the very last column is our January
[1:22:37]
through June. As you can see, we've had
[1:22:39]
no activity in our checking account.
[1:22:41]
We'll go on down to the pension fund.
[1:22:44]
Um our beginning balance is 330,906.
[1:22:48]
We have had no contributions through the
[1:22:51]
end of June. The net benefits that have
[1:22:54]
been paid out are 33,711.
[1:22:58]
We've had interest, dividends, and other
[1:23:01]
revenue of 5,130.
[1:23:04]
We've had an unrealized gain of 982
[1:23:08]
and a realized gain of 2,117.
[1:23:12]
And we've had fees and expenses of
[1:23:14]
3,870,
[1:23:18]
leaving with a ending fund balance of
[1:23:20]
301,555.
[1:23:24]
Now, I'd like you to jump over to the
[1:23:25]
column just to the left of that. This is
[1:23:27]
where I think we will be at the end of
[1:23:29]
the year.
[1:23:30]
Um so, our contributions, I can tell you
[1:23:33]
that on August 8th, I made the $50,000
[1:23:37]
city contribution to FPPA. The state
[1:23:41]
grant will open up on September 1st. I
[1:23:45]
have been getting emails about it. I
[1:23:46]
think they're switching their portal, so
[1:23:48]
we will make sure to get applied for
[1:23:50]
that so we see that money in before the
[1:23:52]
end of the year.
[1:23:54]
Our net benefits, we budgeted 90,000,
[1:23:57]
but based on what we have paid
[1:23:59]
throughout June, I'm predicting that to
[1:24:01]
be 67,422.
[1:24:05]
And then our interest in div-
[1:24:08]
idends, I'm saying 10,261.
[1:24:11]
Our unrealized gain, 1,964.
[1:24:15]
Our realized gain of 4,235.
[1:24:18]
And fees and expenses of 7,740,
[1:24:22]
which would leave us an ending fund
[1:24:24]
balance of 345,000
[1:24:27]
398,
[1:24:28]
which is a little bit higher than what
[1:24:30]
we had budgeted for. So, that leaves the
[1:24:32]
pension fund in a better position. So,
[1:24:35]
that is the semi-annual report, and I'm
[1:24:39]
happy to answer any questions.
[1:24:48]
» Any questions?
[1:24:51]
No question,
[1:24:53]
you know. Oh, yep.
[1:24:54]
>> Is there management fees associated with
[1:24:56]
that account?
[1:25:00]
» For the pension fund account?
[1:25:02]
>> Yeah.
[1:25:03]
>> They do charge fees
[1:25:05]
um for managing it, and also for um when
[1:25:09]
they do like the actuarial, you'll see
[1:25:11]
that happens every other year. There is
[1:25:13]
a fee for that, so you'll see on the odd
[1:25:15]
years that that increases. So, yes, FPPA
[1:25:18]
does charge
[1:25:21]
fees for administering it.
[1:25:24]
>> Thank you.
[1:25:27]
» Any other questions?
[1:25:29]
>> [snorts]
[1:25:29]
>> Hearing none, um there is a
[1:25:32]
uh motion on the floor from Mayor Pro
[1:25:34]
Tem Moreno and a second from uh
[1:25:38]
Councilwoman Singh.
[1:25:44]
And cast votes.
[1:25:46]
That's approved unanimously.
[1:25:49]
Um
[1:25:51]
Thanks, Teresa.
[1:25:53]
Next is Mayor's choice.
[1:25:56]
Um
[1:25:59]
Uh let's see, what have I done this last
[1:26:01]
weekend?
[1:26:03]
I did do some canvassing out in the
[1:26:05]
neighborhoods inviting people to share
[1:26:07]
it and celebrate.
[1:26:09]
Um I also went to the VFW pig roast, and
[1:26:12]
let me tell you,
[1:26:13]
that was a blast.
[1:26:15]
Um they actually had pig races
[1:26:18]
with
[1:26:20]
the balloons love kept the
[1:26:24]
shaped like pigs with numbers on them
[1:26:27]
uh one through six and they rolled the
[1:26:29]
dice and
[1:26:31]
with whatever the number was then the
[1:26:33]
pig advanced. Um, they had
[1:26:37]
uh
[1:26:38]
water balloons thrown at the new
[1:26:41]
commander um who's been here um to visit
[1:26:44]
with us
[1:26:46]
uh which was fun.
[1:26:48]
Um, just lots of really good
[1:26:50]
uh
[1:26:51]
food. Um
[1:26:53]
So, it it was quite quite an event.
[1:26:54]
There were quite a lot of people there.
[1:26:55]
I really kind of enjoyed it. So.
[1:26:59]
That's all I have.
[1:27:01]
Anyone else?
[1:27:04]
Go ahead.
[1:27:06]
Councilman Choices up next. Go ahead,
[1:27:09]
Mr.
[1:27:09]
>> Yes.
[1:27:10]
Um, so I'm going through the
[1:27:12]
neighborhood um since I've been on
[1:27:13]
council now eight months going through
[1:27:16]
the neighborhood
[1:27:16]
>> hear you.
[1:27:17]
>> Okay. My thing is on is on.
[1:27:19]
>> Oh.
[1:27:20]
>> And um
[1:27:20]
>> Hold it closer.
[1:27:21]
>> I was saying
[1:27:22]
>> There you go.
[1:27:22]
>> Hold it a little closer.
[1:27:24]
That um the people are very happy that
[1:27:27]
um I was concerned to even speak to them
[1:27:30]
because when we went out for election of
[1:27:32]
course you speak to everyone like hey
[1:27:35]
what's you want to get them to sign your
[1:27:37]
um petition but I was able to go out and
[1:27:40]
some of the concerns that some of the
[1:27:41]
neighborhood was talking about you
[1:27:42]
answered it earlier was about some of
[1:27:44]
the roads one of the gentlemen had got
[1:27:46]
his hit a pothole
[1:27:48]
and uh it blew out his tire and he was
[1:27:50]
like the city should be able to pay for
[1:27:52]
my my my my his rim got bent or
[1:27:56]
something like that and uh
[1:27:58]
I don't know if anybody else experienced
[1:27:59]
this when you were on council or
[1:28:01]
something people think you may have more
[1:28:03]
power than you may actually have the
[1:28:05]
city can you fix this situation and
[1:28:08]
uh whatever but what I've been doing is
[1:28:10]
directing people to the sources that
[1:28:13]
they need to go to.
[1:28:15]
Possibly if I have a question about it I
[1:28:17]
will call, but to not have people
[1:28:20]
bombard us with small problems, to have
[1:28:23]
them being able to reach the people that
[1:28:25]
they need to talk to about the
[1:28:27]
situation. If it's something with public
[1:28:29]
safety or something I'm going to tell
[1:28:30]
them
[1:28:31]
call uh Chief Martinez,
[1:28:35]
you know, and ask about that question
[1:28:37]
about something like that. But I'm
[1:28:38]
thinking that we're in position to
[1:28:40]
direct the city to different things and
[1:28:42]
sources that they may need to have to
[1:28:44]
keep us not being over burdened burdened
[1:28:47]
with stuff. To try to handle what I've
[1:28:49]
been doing is doing research to find out
[1:28:52]
what I can do to handle that problem.
[1:28:54]
And if it got overwhelming, then I could
[1:28:56]
come and say something to the council or
[1:28:59]
something like that.
[1:29:00]
But I was saying that I'm in my eighth
[1:29:02]
month, learning so much things and some
[1:29:04]
things that I thought I knew
[1:29:06]
I was wrong about. Okay, and I was
[1:29:09]
saying that um
[1:29:11]
the being very careful with the with the
[1:29:15]
council, the name of the council and
[1:29:17]
things of that nature when I'm speaking
[1:29:18]
to people. They can be able to not get
[1:29:22]
I see that there's a slight
[1:29:24]
there's a way that you can get in a
[1:29:25]
little bit of
[1:29:26]
m-
[1:29:27]
um trouble in some way by maybe
[1:29:31]
saying the wrong thing or presenting the
[1:29:33]
things wrong. So I'm learning what to
[1:29:35]
have. So forgive me if I call and ask a
[1:29:37]
lot of questions and and things. It's
[1:29:40]
what I'm new here for this. So I want to
[1:29:42]
not make mistakes. I don't like to make
[1:29:44]
them, but I guess we will slip
[1:29:47]
somewhere, but
[1:29:48]
thank everyone for all the guidance that
[1:29:50]
I've been getting so far.
[1:29:52]
But I'm just thinking I'm excited. I'm
[1:29:54]
needing way more time and things have
[1:29:57]
become more apparent. Chief, on your
[1:30:00]
with your
[1:30:01]
with the with the department with the
[1:30:03]
with your
[1:30:04]
unit, do they feel good about their their safety, about everything,
[1:30:09]
about their selves, about your your your team? They feel pretty good?
[1:30:15]
>> Yes. Um you know, there's always dangers
[1:30:17]
that are out there, but this is a relatively very safe city, and the
[1:30:22]
support that they have from all of you
[1:30:24]
in the city manager really helps them be
[1:30:26]
able to do their jobs
[1:30:28]
um and feel confident that they can do
[1:30:30]
it.
[1:30:31]
>> One of the things that I found that in
[1:30:32]
the community is that they feel pretty
[1:30:35]
good about the safety of the city, and
[1:30:37]
that was very positive. They just crying
[1:30:40]
about We have a Our roads are not that
[1:30:42]
bad because if this was Mexico I'm not
[1:30:45]
Mexico, this was San Diego. Under
[1:30:47]
Hampton would be San Diego. I mean, it
[1:30:49]
would be um What was that? Mexico. It
[1:30:51]
would be Tijuana. That's what I'm trying
[1:30:53]
to say. If this over here is um
[1:30:56]
kind of like San Diego, then you go
[1:30:57]
under the bridge, the roads get worse.
[1:31:00]
So, I was telling them that the roads
[1:31:01]
over here are not that bad, but we have
[1:31:03]
a couple of situations. Do we have a
[1:31:05]
time when those roads and everything are
[1:31:07]
addressed at one time, or are they
[1:31:09]
happen throughout the year?
[1:31:13]
» It depends on what it is. So, larger
[1:31:14]
projects will be scheduled on an annual
[1:31:17]
basis, and they rotate throughout uh the
[1:31:19]
city depending on
[1:31:21]
uh the condition of the pavement, and
[1:31:23]
that's that'll be
[1:31:25]
uh what we use as a pavement management
[1:31:27]
system that grades out the pavement into
[1:31:29]
a like a numerical score, and then that
[1:31:31]
directs us Well, okay, where do we need
[1:31:33]
to pay attention to doing larger like
[1:31:35]
say um
[1:31:37]
uh larger chip seal projects or um mill
[1:31:41]
and overlay, which is, you know, doing
[1:31:43]
whole sections of street at a time,
[1:31:45]
right? So, blocks or block or more at a
[1:31:47]
time. If you got a situation where you
[1:31:49]
got somebody that hit a pothole, and
[1:31:51]
then that, just call me.
[1:31:53]
>> Right.
[1:31:54]
>> Yeah, and we'll get somebody out there
[1:31:55]
like that.
[1:31:56]
>> Okay.
[1:31:57]
>> Yes. Now, that we do we'll just do if we
[1:31:59]
got a bad pothole or got a bad bad
[1:32:01]
situation like that, we send our crews
[1:32:03]
right out.
[1:32:04]
>> We do not reimburse people for damages
[1:32:08]
that
[1:32:08]
>> They People can People can put in a
[1:32:10]
claim with the city. They can put
[1:32:13]
forward a claim. They can put a claim in
[1:32:15]
and then we would take that to our
[1:32:17]
insurance companies and they would
[1:32:18]
adjudicate that with
[1:32:20]
>> Have you ever had anyone come with that
[1:32:22]
and had money returned to them? So,
[1:32:24]
that's positive.
[1:32:25]
>> Not very often, no.
[1:32:27]
>> I was not pushing that part, okay.
[1:32:29]
>> No, because driving on streets
[1:32:32]
um
[1:32:33]
part of that is that there are potholes
[1:32:35]
at times, right? And and go ahead. I'm I
[1:32:38]
don't want to say too much.
[1:32:40]
Yeah.
[1:32:42]
>> You assume a lot of liability, right,
[1:32:44]
when you use public roads. I mean, it's
[1:32:46]
a known ha- There are known hazards,
[1:32:47]
right, that exist. So, someone could,
[1:32:49]
you know, apply their insurance,
[1:32:50]
certainly. You could try to make a claim
[1:32:52]
with the city's insurance. It's probably
[1:32:53]
not going to go over very far.
[1:32:55]
>> But, it's not unrealistic for them to
[1:32:56]
make the to approach. It's not
[1:32:58]
unrealistic.
[1:32:59]
>> I would caution them that it's unlikely
[1:33:01]
they would succeed. Um but, it it is an
[1:33:03]
option that they could try to make a
[1:33:04]
claim on the city's insurance. It They'd
[1:33:06]
be much better off claiming on their own
[1:33:08]
insurance if it was a significant
[1:33:10]
problem.
[1:33:11]
>> Okay. Well, thank you. And um Jenna, I
[1:33:14]
want to go to the conference.
[1:33:16]
I believe it's going to be very helpful
[1:33:18]
to see them the CML was just
[1:33:21]
really helped me and I'm looking forward
[1:33:23]
to this uh next event.
[1:33:25]
So, thank you.
[1:33:29]
» Uh and just one other point, it
[1:33:32]
if it was federal or if it was
[1:33:35]
285, that just cuz it lies in the city
[1:33:38]
doesn't mean that we're responsible for
[1:33:40]
it.
[1:33:41]
Some of them belong to CDOT.
[1:33:44]
Right?
[1:33:46]
So,
[1:33:48]
» Yeah, so um federal and 285 are regional
[1:33:53]
uh roadways that are um owned and
[1:33:55]
operated by the state of CDOT state.
[1:33:57]
Mhm.
[1:33:58]
>> Okay.
[1:33:58]
right.
[1:33:59]
>> Anyone else? Jay, you have anything?
[1:34:01]
>> I do.
[1:34:02]
Um, I was grateful to represent the city
[1:34:05]
on the board of directors at DRCOG last
[1:34:07]
week.
[1:34:08]
And um
[1:34:10]
they wanted
[1:34:12]
those those of us that were there to
[1:34:14]
convey back to our councils that
[1:34:19]
we want to move on approving the traffic
[1:34:22]
congestion reduction and on-road mobile source emissions reduction
[1:34:27]
targets if we get the chance.
[1:34:30]
They uh
[1:34:31]
you know, the you know, expanding
[1:34:33]
multimodal transportation
[1:34:36]
um
[1:34:38]
What's that?
[1:34:39]
>> DRCOG.
[1:34:40]
>> Yeah. Is is a big deal.
[1:34:42]
Um the other main thing I got from there
[1:34:44]
is they are going to be expanding C-E470
[1:34:48]
between 104th
[1:34:50]
and what I think
[1:34:51]
might be Santa Fe still, 80 85 up north.
[1:34:55]
It's neat to see that going because
[1:34:57]
E-470's been amazing.
[1:35:00]
They're expanding that.
[1:35:02]
That's all.
[1:35:03]
>> Nice, thank you. Thank you for
[1:35:04]
representing.
[1:35:05]
>> Councilman Whitaker, could you tell me
[1:35:07]
what was the standard that DRCOG wanted
[1:35:09]
us to adopt? I'm not sure I know that
[1:35:12]
one.
[1:35:13]
>> Just so I can write it down correctly.
[1:35:15]
>> They recommend we move to approve the
[1:35:18]
traffic congestion reduction and on-road
[1:35:23]
mobile source emissions reduction
[1:35:27]
targets.
[1:35:29]
Very loaded sentence.
[1:35:34]
» [clears throat]
[1:35:35]
>> Yeah.
[1:35:36]
Traffic congestion reduction.
[1:35:38]
>> I'll see if they got I'm sure they got a
[1:35:39]
model or something for us to look at. I
[1:35:41]
just have I don't remember seeing that.
[1:35:43]
>> I brought my um packet if you want it.
[1:35:45]
>> Okay, that'd be great. Thank you.
[1:35:46]
>> Okay.
[1:35:51]
I'll give it to you afterwards. Thank
[1:35:52]
you.
[1:35:55]

[1:39:51]
So on page 21 of the report, I would
[1:39:54]
like to report on the pledge revenues.
[1:39:56]
Year-to-date we are still higher by 2
[1:39:58]
and 1/2%. So very happy I know I always
[1:40:02]
say that but I'm very happy to always
[1:40:03]
see that trending higher.
[1:40:07]
Since the last meeting continuing
[1:40:09]
compliance was a little crazy. We
[1:40:12]
approved the audit at our July meeting
[1:40:14]
and then from there
[1:40:15]
we have to the debt service disclosure
[1:40:19]
requirements that we have to comply with
[1:40:21]
once that audit is finalized. So we have
[1:40:25]
a lot of filing requirements for that.
[1:40:27]
Then once you approved at the special
[1:40:30]
meeting on the third the seventh
[1:40:32]
amendment to the LLC agreement, then
[1:40:35]
again a lot of
[1:40:37]
that starts the ball rolling so then we
[1:40:39]
can get everything finalized with Kimco
[1:40:41]
and JP Morgan and everyone. So
[1:40:44]
those are all done, finalized.
[1:40:48]
See you later. So
[1:40:49]
I'm very happy.
[1:40:51]
So
[1:40:53]
moving on then we get to do budget. So
[1:40:55]
2027 budget we are going to be
[1:40:57]
presenting that at the September 14th
[1:40:59]
meeting to go over that and then we will
[1:41:02]
have it to be presented for approval on
[1:41:05]
the September 28th regular meeting. So
[1:41:09]
keep you busy and happy to answer any
[1:41:11]
questions.
