[3:01] They have a refrigerator underneath the
[3:04] sink.
[3:07] » Rodney, maybe to get it over to where
[3:08] you can.
[3:11] » I know you're trying to connect
[3:16] >> Clean up
[3:16] >> Yeah, that's what we figured. The city
[3:18] that needs
[3:19] >> That's what we figured, yeah.
[3:23] » You're allowed to find out.
[3:38] » Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
[3:39] >> But
[3:40] >> It's still
[3:42] » Yeah.
[3:43] >> Did this hurt?
[3:45] >> That's not anything maybe without
[3:46] people.
[3:47] >> This shirt.
[3:48] >> But yeah, this hurt, too.
[3:50] >> This shirt.
[3:53] >> There's a lot of
[3:54] >> Yeah, I mean I was yelling at Brianna.
[4:02] » Oh, yeah.
[4:04] >> We're going to profile so you can
[4:06] actually slide the beers under.
[4:11] » Um it's in the fridge underneath.
[4:13] >> Is it?
[4:21] Oh, yeah.
[4:22] Okay, make sure we're pushing it down.
[4:24] >> Yeah.
[4:27] » Sorry.
[4:28] Yeah, the drinks are
[4:33] There are drinks in there like in that
[4:35] bottom cabinet and we put a mini fridge
[4:37] in there that has soda and water and
[4:38] stuff in the
[4:40] >> Thanks for
[4:41] >> Yeah, no problem.
[4:45] Oh, I'm on the wrong link.
[4:52] Um I don't know. That's right. I have
[4:53] 88.
[4:55] >> Oh, no, no. It's still
[5:05] You don't fit everybody on council one
[5:06] of these twice a week.
[5:07] >> Yes.
[5:08] >> Yeah, everybody's got one.
[5:09] >> Yeah, I'm talking about 88 now.
[5:18] Yeah, okay. I get what you're saying. I
[5:20] thought you were saying
[5:22] >> Mine's what?
[5:23] When you're doing the bingo night.
[5:25] >> That's
[5:31] I know. That's what I was saying. I
[5:32] can't remember.
[5:34] » The bingo?
[5:36] >> When is the bingo?
[5:37] >> The the 14th of November.
[5:40] >> All right.
[5:44] » November 14th.
[5:48] » November 27th.
[5:50] >> Here we go.
[5:51] >> Obviously, everybody's going to
[5:53] naturally absorb the burden.
[5:58] » I'm going to I'm going to stay.
[6:00] >> Are you ready? Everybody gets everybody
[6:02] first in the county.

[6:06] >> 27, you're good. We're all good.
[6:09] >> Let's see.
[6:12] » [laughter]
[6:14] >> Sorry.
[6:15] >> Okay, so go ahead and call the meeting
[6:16] to order.
[6:16] >> I love that.
[6:19] » 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.

[57:49] » Get you a horse you have to get it
[57:50] >> You get a horse.

[57:54] signs
[57:55] that you you know you represent the city
[57:57] of Paradise.

[58:05] Dallas always volunteered to be on the
[58:07] stupid crew behind at the end of the
[58:10] That was his thing he always volunteered
[58:11] but

[1:09:54] >> Thank you. City attorney.
[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
