00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,117
Recorded and summarized.

00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:18,952

3
00:00:18,952 --> 00:00:20,053
Calling to order the Clark

00:00:27,995 --> 00:00:30,130
Allegiance and then remain

8
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:31,598
standing for the invocation

00:00:31,598 --> 00:00:33,733
that will be provided by Ale

Carr from New Heights Church. I

11
00:00:38,405 --> 00:00:40,607
pledge allegiance to the flag

12
00:00:40,607 --> 00:00:43,043
of the United States of America

13
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:44,578
and to the Republic for which

14
00:00:44,578 --> 00:00:48,816
it stands one nation under God

15
00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:50,216
indivisible, with liberty and

16
00:00:50,217 --> 00:00:59,660
justice for all.

17
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:01,061
>> Good evening. I invite you

18
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:03,263
to join me in this prayer.

19
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:05,398
Father God, we humble ourselv

20
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:06,800
before you as we gather this

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,669
evening. We thank you for your

22
00:01:08,669 --> 00:01:09,670
countless blessings and

23
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:11,505
gracious sacrifice of your Son

24
00:01:11,505 --> 00:01:13,674
Jesus. Lord, you know each and

25
00:01:13,674 --> 00:01:15,609
every heart in this room. I a

26
00:01:15,609 --> 00:01:16,844
for your help in aligning our

27
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:18,611
hearts with your will for our

28
00:01:18,612 --> 00:01:19,680
community. I ask for your

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,748
wisdom and guidance over the

30
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:21,948
hearts and minds of those

31
00:01:21,949 --> 00:01:23,584
entrusted to serve and lead

32
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:24,885
Clark County. I thank you for

33
00:01:24,885 --> 00:01:26,286
the institution of government

34
00:01:26,286 --> 00:01:27,854
you’ve given us. I pray that w

35
00:01:27,854 --> 00:01:29,522
would seek enacting statutes

36
00:01:29,523 --> 00:01:30,924
for our community that honors

37
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:32,392
you and advances love for our

38
00:01:32,392 --> 00:01:34,527
neighbor. I thank you for

39
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:35,662
growing in these City Council

40
00:01:35,662 --> 00:01:36,763
members a heart to serve our

41
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:38,632
community and seek what is bes

42
00:01:38,632 --> 00:01:40,534
for them. I ask that Your Holy

43
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:41,668
Spirit would govern and direct

44
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:42,869
the hearts and minds of these

45
00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:44,504
leaders, and help them navigat

46
00:01:44,504 --> 00:01:45,572
the challenges that face our

47
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:47,841
county. Today. We thank you f

48
00:01:47,841 --> 00:01:48,942
this opportunity to serve

49
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:50,110
others, and I ask for your

50
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:52,012
strength to be over us as we

51
00:01:52,012 --> 00:01:53,280
seek to align our actions in

52
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,681
accordance with your goodness.

53
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:56,149
We pray these things in your

54
00:01:56,149 --> 00:02:03,356
Son’s mighty name. Amen.

55
00:02:03,357 --> 00:02:05,593
>> Thank you very much. Let’s

56
00:02:05,592 --> 00:02:07,994
move on to the roll call.

57
00:02:07,995 --> 00:02:13,033
Michelle. Councilor Young here.

58
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:15,202
Councilor Belkot present.

59
00:02:15,202 --> 00:02:17,438
>> Councilor Fuentes here.

60
00:02:17,437 --> 00:02:19,572
Councilor Little here, and

61
00:02:19,573 --> 00:02:20,974
Chair Marshall here.

62
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:22,442
>> Thank you, thank you. Are

63
00:02:22,442 --> 00:02:23,843
there any amendments to the

64
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:24,244
agenda?

65
00:02:24,244 --> 00:02:25,278
>> None. Tonight.

66
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,147
>> Okay. Thank you. Then we’ll

67
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,949
open public comment. And this

68
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:31,051
is open public comment. And y

69
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:33,921
can also comment on the conse

70
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,755
and separate business items.

71
00:02:35,756 --> 00:02:37,591
And just a reminder, please

72
00:02:37,591 --> 00:02:39,693
keep your comments civil and

73
00:02:39,693 --> 00:02:41,895
related to county business a

74
00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:43,330
refrain from making any

75
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:45,098
statements that are disruptive

76
00:02:45,098 --> 00:02:48,635
to conducting county business.

77
00:02:48,635 --> 00:02:54,808
>> Carmen de Lehan.

78
00:02:54,808 --> 00:02:56,310
>> Hello.

79
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:58,077
>> Press the button.

80
00:02:58,078 --> 00:02:59,546
>> Yeah, I’m Carmen de Leon,

81
00:02:59,546 --> 00:03:01,314
also known as Melo. So I’m jus

82
00:03:01,314 --> 00:03:02,415
going to read this to you

83
00:03:02,416 --> 00:03:04,184
because I like it. It says

84
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:05,652
Without God nothing in life

85
00:03:05,652 --> 00:03:08,555
makes sense. Spain’s coach

86
00:03:08,555 --> 00:03:09,723
confession of faith. And that’

87
00:03:09,723 --> 00:03:11,391
the people who just weren’t w

88
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:13,894
the World Cup. FIFA thanking

89
00:03:13,894 --> 00:03:16,096
God. This one is just about a

90
00:03:16,096 --> 00:03:18,198
mother of a cheerleader and my

91
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:21,835
son suffered two staying awake

92
00:03:21,835 --> 00:03:24,705
five days, which caused

93
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:26,140
problems. And this girl and I

94
00:03:26,139 --> 00:03:28,308
say I’m lucky for the problems

95
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,744
I got because this woman lost

96
00:03:30,744 --> 00:03:33,046
her daughter and these energy

97
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,414
drinks can give them heart

98
00:03:34,414 --> 00:03:37,050
attacks with zero warnings. S

99
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:38,385
I mean, like cigarettes have

100
00:03:38,385 --> 00:03:40,954
warnings, energy drinks need

101
00:03:40,954 --> 00:03:42,489
big warnings. And I see people

102
00:03:42,489 --> 00:03:44,591
all day just chugging them on

103
00:03:44,591 --> 00:03:45,992
down. And I’m just waiting for

104
00:03:45,992 --> 00:03:47,794
these 25 year olds to have

105
00:03:47,794 --> 00:03:49,696
heart attacks. Something needs

106
00:03:49,696 --> 00:03:51,731
to be done. Alcohol has a

107
00:03:51,732 --> 00:03:52,499
warning. You have to be a

108
00:03:52,499 --> 00:03:54,368
certain age. This should be

109
00:03:54,367 --> 00:03:56,402
like alcohol 21 and over. I

110
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:59,339
mean, it’s no joke. So anyways

111
00:03:59,339 --> 00:04:01,074
according to these things here,

112
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:02,909
changing subjects, if you don’t

113
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:04,677
remember, the Tower of Babel

114
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:06,480
was made to confuse their

115
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,982
language. Let’s confuse them t

116
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:10,050
make them weaker. And that’s

117
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:11,518
what I see. All this

118
00:04:11,518 --> 00:04:12,719
translation business, you know,

119
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,054
you can get translation

120
00:04:14,054 --> 00:04:16,590
services free on your phone.

121
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:18,192
why are you paying for it? Why

122
00:04:18,191 --> 00:04:19,826
are you giving more money to

123
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:22,362
disable people? Like I said

124
00:04:22,362 --> 00:04:23,430
repeatedly, the first thing my

125
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:25,365
dad did when he came to this

126
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:27,000
country was learn the language.

127
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,935
He expected nothing in return.

128
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:30,437
He said, I want to be respected

129
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:32,205
I want to work. I’m going to

130
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:33,373
speak English. In one year. He

131
00:04:33,373 --> 00:04:35,642
taught himself, what’s with

132
00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:37,444
everybody else who has free

133
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:38,879
internet? We shouldn’t be

134
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,415
paying a dime for translations.

135
00:04:41,414 --> 00:04:43,249
Okay, do I have time? What’s

136
00:04:43,250 --> 00:04:45,719
the next one? Oh, yeah. So

137
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:47,154
garbage. I’d like to see an end

138
00:04:47,154 --> 00:04:49,289
by date because certain

139
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:51,124
countries have when it comes t

140
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:54,094
waste, they burn it all up and

141
00:04:54,094 --> 00:04:56,196
they have even run out of

142
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:57,664
garbage. They’re buying

143
00:04:57,664 --> 00:04:59,032
importing garbage to burn and

144
00:04:59,032 --> 00:05:01,201
using the heat to whatever

145
00:05:01,201 --> 00:05:03,270
energy. So why can’t we do th

146
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:05,572
We have mountains of garbage

147
00:05:05,572 --> 00:05:07,340
bigger than actual mountains o

148
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:09,042
the east coast. I heard that

149
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:10,210
some of the biggest mountains

150
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:12,112
on the east coast are trash

151
00:05:12,112 --> 00:05:14,281
mountains, so I would love to

152
00:05:14,281 --> 00:05:15,582
see all that burnt to the

153
00:05:15,582 --> 00:05:17,317
ground and have an end by date

154
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,219
And end by date would mean the

155
00:05:19,219 --> 00:05:20,420
end of garbage and where we

156
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:22,155
would actually have to import

157
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:23,189
it, where we’re actually

158
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:24,324
recycling things. Which glass

159
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:25,625
is so important to recycle?

160
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:27,093
Because it doesn’t diminish, i

161
00:05:27,093 --> 00:05:28,494
keeps its size and strength.

162
00:05:28,495 --> 00:05:30,030
You can keep using it

163
00:05:30,030 --> 00:05:31,064
indefinitely, whereas other

164
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:31,865
things, they keep getting

165
00:05:31,865 --> 00:05:33,266
smaller and smaller. You can

166
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:35,435
only recycle paper so much. So

167
00:05:35,435 --> 00:05:37,203
I’m saying recycling and

168
00:05:37,204 --> 00:05:38,972
burning things, and I don’t

169
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:40,106
know what methods these people

170
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:42,275
are going to pitch to you, b

171
00:05:42,275 --> 00:05:43,343
certain countries, yeah, it w

172
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:45,145
expensive to buy the machines,

173
00:05:45,145 --> 00:05:46,880
but generations later it was

174
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,014
worth it because they’re having

175
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:49,916
to buy garbage, not just creat

176
00:05:49,916 --> 00:05:51,618
it, they’re making something

177
00:05:51,618 --> 00:05:53,353
with it. You know, that’s what

178
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:54,354
art is making something

179
00:05:54,354 --> 00:05:55,655
beautiful out of nothing. So

180
00:05:55,655 --> 00:05:57,590
maybe we can aspire to be lik

181
00:05:57,591 --> 00:05:59,827
that. Anyways. That’s it.

182
00:05:59,826 --> 00:06:03,997
>> Thank you. Is there anyone

183
00:06:03,997 --> 00:06:05,732
else in the room who would lik

184
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:06,499
to speak.

185
00:06:06,499 --> 00:06:12,171
>> Theresa Hardy?

186
00:06:12,172 --> 00:06:13,707
>> I’m. Good evening. I’m sor

187
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:15,209
I’m a little going to be a

188
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:17,143
little disjointed, but we’re

189
00:06:17,143 --> 00:06:18,578
just beginning to kind of put

190
00:06:18,578 --> 00:06:22,916
the pieces together. The

191
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:26,887
multifamily housing, sorry, th

192
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:29,390
multifamily, residential,

193
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:31,191
outdoor recreation area

194
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:35,595
standards before 2022. July 5t

195
00:06:35,595 --> 00:06:38,031
2022. April 1st was in

196
00:06:38,031 --> 00:06:39,065
management then, and there

197
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:44,203
seemed to be some. That some

198
00:06:44,204 --> 00:06:45,272
developments were being

199
00:06:45,272 --> 00:06:46,740
approved, allowing them to

200
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:48,208
combine landscaping and

201
00:06:48,208 --> 00:06:49,543
recreation, and some weren’t.

202
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:51,377
And the interpretation was tha

203
00:06:51,378 --> 00:06:53,914
those two codes were separate

204
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:57,484
20% landscaping and and

205
00:06:57,484 --> 00:06:59,987
recreation. So the D brought i

206
00:06:59,986 --> 00:07:03,590
to the council on July 5th, the

207
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,093
day after July 4th. And they

208
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:07,760
wanted an interim ordinance.

209
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:09,162
And that ordinance was passed.

210
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:10,797
There was 100 signatures. It

211
00:07:10,797 --> 00:07:13,700
was raised to try and stop tha

212
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,635
And because I was an interim

213
00:07:15,635 --> 00:07:17,036
ordinance, then it went back to

214
00:07:17,037 --> 00:07:18,939
what it was. But then D we

215
00:07:18,939 --> 00:07:20,541
think it was D pushed it

216
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:24,110
through under the biannual. And

217
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:26,579
it was then Brian Ng who was a

218
00:07:26,579 --> 00:07:28,781
planning commissioner, and he

219
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:34,221
said that there were unintende

220
00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:36,723
unintended consequences,

221
00:07:36,723 --> 00:07:38,925
density implications. It was

222
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:40,727
not a minor amendment, and it

223
00:07:40,727 --> 00:07:42,462
should be considered under

224
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:43,730
policy. But Planning Commissio

225
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:46,066
went ahead and approved it to

226
00:07:46,066 --> 00:07:47,801
move forward. And then it sort

227
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:49,703
of fell between the cracks. And

228
00:07:49,703 --> 00:07:53,173
then it seemed to come back

229
00:07:53,173 --> 00:07:54,741
under. After you pass the

230
00:07:54,741 --> 00:07:56,509
middle housing option under the

231
00:07:56,509 --> 00:07:57,977
multifamily housing options.

232
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,746
But you haven’t totally passed

233
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:01,248
that yet. And then they were

234
00:08:01,247 --> 00:08:04,083
having meetings with Elizabeth

235
00:08:04,084 --> 00:08:07,688
Decker, looking at what this

236
00:08:07,687 --> 00:08:12,025
language should be. And those

237
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:13,527
were done with the tech forum

238
00:08:13,526 --> 00:08:15,028
And at that time, the tech

239
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:17,731
forum was debe developers and

240
00:08:17,731 --> 00:08:18,932
realtors. If you were a member

241
00:08:18,932 --> 00:08:21,701
of the public, you could join

242
00:08:21,701 --> 00:08:23,169
those meetings, but you weren’t

243
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:25,304
allowed to say anything and y

244
00:08:25,305 --> 00:08:27,107
had to send in your comment.

245
00:08:27,107 --> 00:08:30,811
And now we are. It looks as

246
00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:32,845
it’s going forward in the

247
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:37,884
hearing on the 20th, and it h

248
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:40,487
totally changed. It is no

249
00:08:40,487 --> 00:08:42,622
longer multifamily, residential

250
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:46,159
outdoor recreation areas. It

251
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:49,462
now special use and standards.

252
00:08:49,462 --> 00:08:51,931
It’s it’s multifamily,

253
00:08:51,931 --> 00:08:54,467
residential amenity area

254
00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:55,535
standards. The landscaping

255
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,038
seems to have dropped the the

256
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:00,941
recreation part is changed. T

257
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,843
all of the standards that wer

258
00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:06,679
expected under the multifamily

259
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,948
recreation standards are have

260
00:09:08,948 --> 00:09:12,819
been diminished. So my time is

261
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:15,488
up. It needs to be looked at.

262
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:17,156
It shouldn’t go forward like.

263
00:09:17,157 --> 00:09:18,592
>> It is. It’s timely. So

264
00:09:18,591 --> 00:09:20,026
please, please come back or

265
00:09:20,026 --> 00:09:22,262
send us some information. Thank

266
00:09:22,262 --> 00:09:23,697
you.

267
00:09:23,696 --> 00:09:24,897
>> That seems to be all the

268
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:26,767
people that we have signed up

269
00:09:26,766 --> 00:09:28,701
in the room. We do have one

270
00:09:28,701 --> 00:09:29,835
caller with their hand raised

271
00:09:29,836 --> 00:09:30,837
online. Great caller. You’ve

272
00:09:30,837 --> 00:09:32,038
been sent a request to unmute.

273
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:33,773
Please go ahead and do so.

274
00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:34,974
State your name for the record

275
00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:39,846
and go ahead with your comment

276
00:09:39,846 --> 00:09:40,980
>> Good evening. This is

277
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:43,082
Kimberly Goheen Elbon. I

278
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,618
appreciate Melo speaking about

279
00:09:44,617 --> 00:09:47,019
God, and I’d like to say that

280
00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:48,788
part of our problem is taking

281
00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:52,392
God out of not only our schoo

282
00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:54,561
and that’s designed to have

283
00:09:54,561 --> 00:09:58,932
children. Rely actually grow u

284
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,401
and rely on the government,

285
00:10:01,401 --> 00:10:03,737
which is wrong. But also you

286
00:10:03,736 --> 00:10:06,072
took God out of our judicial

287
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:09,008
court system. And I have a

288
00:10:09,008 --> 00:10:10,476
definite problem, as you well

289
00:10:10,477 --> 00:10:12,579
know, with my son Cleve going

290
00:10:12,579 --> 00:10:15,482
Rengulbai being victimized by

291
00:10:15,482 --> 00:10:17,985
our very own Clark County

292
00:10:17,984 --> 00:10:19,419
judicial law and justice system

293
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:20,487
here. I’m going to speak a

294
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:22,656
little bit about your

295
00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:23,890
interpreter interpreters that

296
00:10:23,890 --> 00:10:25,759
you’re going to be paying a lot

297
00:10:25,758 --> 00:10:27,360
of money for at the cost

298
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,862
increases result from multipl

299
00:10:28,862 --> 00:10:30,597
factors that include in-person

300
00:10:30,597 --> 00:10:32,466
assignments and increase of 8%

301
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:34,901
in caseload and complexity of

302
00:10:34,901 --> 00:10:36,770
caseloads and increase in

303
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:39,205
assignment complexity, such as

304
00:10:39,205 --> 00:10:41,040
transcriptions of body camera

305
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,375
footage. These people are going

306
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:46,112
to transcribe a camera footage

307
00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:48,247
It’s on the rise and becoming

308
00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:50,117
factor in an increase in

309
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:51,751
service cost. Additionally,

310
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:53,286
with fewer defense attorneys

311
00:10:53,286 --> 00:10:54,821
available for hearings, cases

312
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:56,923
are taking longer to resolve,

313
00:10:56,923 --> 00:11:00,260
and defense counsel’s may have

314
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:02,996
to be prioritized over the

315
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:05,198
interpreter case to allow. S

316
00:11:05,198 --> 00:11:06,399
what I what I’ve seen when I

317
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:08,468
sit in the court cases is, is

318
00:11:08,468 --> 00:11:10,203
there are a lot of illegal

319
00:11:10,203 --> 00:11:12,005
immigrants here. I don’t care

320
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:14,140
what the mandates state that

321
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:16,342
they need interpreters. The

322
00:11:16,342 --> 00:11:19,645
fact is, is we need to just

323
00:11:19,646 --> 00:11:21,548
ship them back home. I, I don’t

324
00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:23,550
know what else to say, but

325
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:24,951
they’re they’re getting a

326
00:11:24,951 --> 00:11:28,555
better trial and more funding

327
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:31,792
and responsibilities being

328
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:35,161
taken than my own son. And I

329
00:11:35,161 --> 00:11:37,063
have a big problem with that.

330
00:11:37,063 --> 00:11:38,298
I’d like to also mention that

331
00:11:38,298 --> 00:11:40,066
I’ve received a letter from th

332
00:11:40,066 --> 00:11:43,036
ACLU of Washington State

333
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:44,037
reprimanding our law and

334
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,940
justice system, stating that

335
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:49,476
they are holding people

336
00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:50,876
incarcerated with no attorney.

337
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:52,712
And that is my son’s case. He’

338
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,113
not only spent two years in

339
00:11:54,113 --> 00:11:56,015
jail, but now, come to find ou

340
00:11:56,015 --> 00:11:57,917
is going on his third week of

341
00:11:57,917 --> 00:12:01,687
no. No attorney, no, no public

342
00:12:01,688 --> 00:12:04,524
defender. That’s criminal. And

343
00:12:04,524 --> 00:12:06,292
the fact is, is when you do

344
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:08,194
love God, we’re patient. We

345
00:12:08,194 --> 00:12:09,662
might suffer, but we give all

346
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:11,497
glory to God and this will com

347
00:12:11,497 --> 00:12:12,732
to light. We are going to take

348
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,567
care of Clark County’s law and

349
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,469
justice system here. I have a

350
00:12:16,469 --> 00:12:18,304
real big issue with number six

351
00:12:18,304 --> 00:12:19,438
on your agenda, that you’re

352
00:12:19,439 --> 00:12:21,241
going to pass all of these,

353
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:25,412
you’re going to pass, but the

354
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:27,580
neuropathy pathology

355
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,382
consultations were infant

356
00:12:29,382 --> 00:12:33,386
deaths. And with traumatic

357
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:35,121
brain injury, where does an

358
00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:36,956
infant get traumatic brain

359
00:12:36,956 --> 00:12:38,458
injury that we have to, you

360
00:12:38,458 --> 00:12:39,960
know, get thousands of dollars

361
00:12:39,959 --> 00:12:41,961
to pay people to come in?

362
00:12:41,961 --> 00:12:43,796
>> Okay. Thank you.

363
00:12:43,796 --> 00:12:45,298
>> Chair, that concludes public

364
00:12:45,298 --> 00:12:45,632
comment.

365
00:12:45,632 --> 00:12:48,135
>> Okay, then let’s move on to

366
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:50,603
the consent agenda. Would

367
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:54,574
anyone like to pull one throu

368
00:12:54,574 --> 00:13:02,182
eight? Not hearing any. I’ll

369
00:13:02,181 --> 00:13:03,616
entertain a motion to approve

370
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:05,518
the consent agenda. Items one

371
00:13:05,518 --> 00:13:06,252
through eight.

372
00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:07,520
>> So moved.

373
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,355
>> Second, moved and seconded.

374
00:13:09,355 --> 00:13:11,858
All those in favor say I. I I

375
00:13:11,858 --> 00:13:15,895
I thank you. Motion carries.

376
00:13:15,895 --> 00:13:17,597
Then let’s move right on to

377
00:13:17,597 --> 00:13:20,467
separate business item number

378
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:23,135

00:13:32,045 --> 00:13:37,784
or you can sit right up here.

381
00:13:37,784 --> 00:13:47,861
Welcome. Go ahead.

382
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:49,662
>> Hello. Good evening, council

383
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:54,400
members.

384
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,038
>> I think it was working.

385
00:13:59,038 --> 00:14:00,840
>> Can you hear me now? Yes.

386
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,809
Okay. Perfect. Almost felt li

387
00:14:02,809 --> 00:14:05,545
that was commercial. Good

388
00:14:05,545 --> 00:14:06,613
evening, Council members. My

389
00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:08,280
name is Mary Ann Clear. I’m a

390
00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:10,216
district court administrator

391
00:14:10,216 --> 00:14:13,086
and I am here to talk with y

392
00:14:13,086 --> 00:14:15,221
Item number one was to speak

393
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:18,491
about the our request for

394
00:14:18,491 --> 00:14:20,626
additional funding for the

395
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:22,828
interpreters. That is a

396
00:14:22,829 --> 00:14:24,631
mandated service that we are

397
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:27,466
providing. And we had been

398
00:14:27,467 --> 00:14:29,235
looking at our projections.

399
00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:30,803
This is David Zimmerman. He is

400
00:14:30,803 --> 00:14:33,005
our finance manager, and we’ve

401
00:14:33,005 --> 00:14:34,773
been looking at our projections

402
00:14:34,774 --> 00:14:35,942
I’ve been at district court f

403
00:14:35,942 --> 00:14:37,877
about a month and a half now,

404
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:39,879
going over our budget, spendin

405
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,281
quite a bit of time with it,

406
00:14:42,281 --> 00:14:43,516
and wanted to make sure that w

407
00:14:43,516 --> 00:14:46,919
have enough money to provide

408
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:47,720
interpreters throughout the

409
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,388
rest of the year, because it i

410
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:50,924
a mandated service, and this

411
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:52,291
something that district court

412
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:54,827
does for our criminal justice

413
00:14:54,827 --> 00:14:58,064
system. We do it not just for

414
00:14:58,064 --> 00:14:59,499
district court, but for

415
00:14:59,499 --> 00:15:01,434
Superior Court and several of

416
00:15:01,434 --> 00:15:06,039
our other partners. And you can

417
00:15:06,038 --> 00:15:09,608
see there is an increase in

418
00:15:09,609 --> 00:15:12,812
services. We did move with

419
00:15:12,812 --> 00:15:14,614
District court back in Februar

420
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:17,951
over to an additional buildin

421
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:21,120
We have interpreters who appea

422
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,656
virtually. They also appear in

423
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:26,125
person. Interpreters aren’t

424
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:28,628
just with verbal, but we do

425
00:15:28,628 --> 00:15:31,531
have American Sign Language,

426
00:15:31,531 --> 00:15:33,133
and it is an important service

427
00:15:33,132 --> 00:15:36,235
that we provide for individual

428
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:42,775
individuals. Our request is for

429
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:44,277
$328,400 to finish out the res

430
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:47,013
of the year.

431
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:48,815
>> Great. Thank you. Was there

432
00:15:48,815 --> 00:15:55,322
anything you wanted to add?

433
00:15:55,321 --> 00:15:56,722
There you go.

434
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:58,524
>> This is David Zimmerman,

435
00:15:58,524 --> 00:16:00,026
accounting services manager at

436
00:16:00,026 --> 00:16:02,862
District Court. We’ve built

437
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:07,567
this projection on seeing a 3

438
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:09,335
increase in service cost on a

439
00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:10,803
monthly basis, on a monthly

440
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:12,972
average. And this is our

441
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:16,876
projection for the end of 2026.

442
00:16:16,876 --> 00:16:18,044
>> Thank you. Are there any

443
00:16:18,044 --> 00:16:19,445
questions or comments from the

444
00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:19,879
council?

445
00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:21,047
>> I have a comment.

446
00:16:21,047 --> 00:16:21,881
>> Yes, please.

447
00:16:21,881 --> 00:16:24,417
>> Why the significant increase?

448
00:16:24,417 --> 00:16:28,421
Is it labor costs?

449
00:16:28,421 --> 00:16:30,590
>> We we’re operating out of

450
00:16:30,590 --> 00:16:32,826
two physical locations now. A

451
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:35,261
it’s mainly the in person

452
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:37,764
assignments. Interpreters are

453
00:16:37,763 --> 00:16:42,835
not. It’s not really possible

454
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:44,303
for them to toggle between the

455
00:16:44,303 --> 00:16:46,772
two locations. So we’ve got

456
00:16:46,772 --> 00:16:47,840
district court assignments and

457
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,342
then superior court assignments

458
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:51,845
Superior court makes makes out

459
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:56,115
about 32% of of our caseload.

460
00:16:56,115 --> 00:16:57,683
And juvenile court, which is

461
00:16:57,683 --> 00:17:00,119
one location before, when we

462
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,587
were at the courthouse, when

463
00:17:01,587 --> 00:17:02,955
district court was at the

464
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:04,790
courthouse, interpreters could

465
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:06,325
toggle between assignments. Now

466
00:17:06,325 --> 00:17:09,128
we need in-person interpreters

467
00:17:09,128 --> 00:17:10,930
at one location and the other

468
00:17:10,930 --> 00:17:12,632
location that is contributed to

469
00:17:12,632 --> 00:17:15,535
a lot of the cost increase.

470
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,771
>> Thank you.

471
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:20,640
>> Other comments or questions

472
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,475
I have a question. Was this

473
00:17:22,475 --> 00:17:24,610
partially grant funded in the

474
00:17:24,610 --> 00:17:25,678
past?

475
00:17:25,678 --> 00:17:28,581
>> No. This is something that

476
00:17:28,581 --> 00:17:31,818
because of ongoing increases i

477
00:17:31,817 --> 00:17:33,652
services with in terms of

478
00:17:33,653 --> 00:17:36,823
growing caseloads between case

479
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:40,526
filings and this has been

480
00:17:40,526 --> 00:17:41,927
something I believe last year

481
00:17:41,928 --> 00:17:44,798
was an additional request that

482
00:17:44,797 --> 00:17:46,899
was made as well. This isn’t

483
00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:48,000
something that’s been grant

484
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,536
funded. Typically, it’s just

485
00:17:50,536 --> 00:17:51,270
increase.

486
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:53,272
>> Okay. And then I did have a

487
00:17:53,272 --> 00:17:54,840
question. I saw that we also

488
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,675
provide this service for

489
00:17:56,676 --> 00:17:58,811
battleground and Kamea

490
00:17:58,811 --> 00:17:59,845
Washougal. And do they

491
00:17:59,845 --> 00:18:01,680
contribute to the cost of this

492
00:18:01,681 --> 00:18:02,382
service?

493
00:18:02,381 --> 00:18:04,516
>> Yes they do. And

494
00:18:04,517 --> 00:18:07,086
additionally, because we have

495
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:09,622
an agreement with the

496
00:18:09,622 --> 00:18:11,457
Administrative Office of Courts

497
00:18:11,457 --> 00:18:15,094
and we meet specifications w

498
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:17,530
a language access plan, and w

499
00:18:17,530 --> 00:18:19,365
have staff interpreters and we

500
00:18:19,365 --> 00:18:22,335
have some meetings. We meet

501
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:24,304
their requirements in order t

502
00:18:24,303 --> 00:18:25,905
receive reimbursement for some

503
00:18:25,905 --> 00:18:27,974
of the services that we are

504
00:18:27,974 --> 00:18:29,042
providing.

505
00:18:29,041 --> 00:18:31,243
>> Great. Thank you. Okay. If

506
00:18:31,243 --> 00:18:33,378
there’s no further questions o

507
00:18:33,379 --> 00:18:35,181
comments, I’ll enter. Oh yes.

508
00:18:35,181 --> 00:18:38,084
Please go ahead, counselor.

509
00:18:38,084 --> 00:18:39,852
>> Sure. I have a question. And

510
00:18:39,852 --> 00:18:42,421
I think I asked this the last

511
00:18:42,421 --> 00:18:44,423
time I had you guys in front o

512
00:18:44,423 --> 00:18:46,692
us for a similar ask, but I’m

513
00:18:46,692 --> 00:18:48,160
going to ask again because

514
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,396
things have changed. But with

515
00:18:50,396 --> 00:18:52,832
the technology that we have

516
00:18:52,832 --> 00:18:54,300
nowadays with, you know,

517
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,369
instant translation, that is

518
00:18:56,369 --> 00:18:59,672
able to happen using AI, are w

519
00:18:59,672 --> 00:19:02,141
like waiting for the state to

520
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:03,676
approve that? Or where are we

521
00:19:03,676 --> 00:19:05,745
at in terms of, you know, being

522
00:19:05,745 --> 00:19:08,314
able to use technology to

523
00:19:08,314 --> 00:19:10,416
address this issue?

524
00:19:10,416 --> 00:19:12,218
>> That’s an excellent questio

525
00:19:12,218 --> 00:19:14,487
counselor. We did. And I guess

526
00:19:14,487 --> 00:19:16,923
it also goes to the the

527
00:19:16,922 --> 00:19:19,892
question of there is some of

528
00:19:19,892 --> 00:19:22,328
this grant funded. We do have a

529
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:25,431
small grant for these things

530
00:19:25,431 --> 00:19:28,100
that are called pocket talks,

531
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:29,301
but they’re not something that

532
00:19:29,301 --> 00:19:32,805
we can use for court. So say if

533
00:19:32,805 --> 00:19:34,240
someone’s in trial, we can’t

534
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,409
use this for, say, a five day

535
00:19:36,409 --> 00:19:39,212
trial in Superior Court. And

536
00:19:39,211 --> 00:19:40,713
it’s something that we can use

537
00:19:40,713 --> 00:19:43,616
say, if if we know what

538
00:19:43,616 --> 00:19:45,418
language somebody is using, but

539
00:19:45,418 --> 00:19:46,586
it’s also not something that w

540
00:19:46,585 --> 00:19:48,987
can use with American Sign

541
00:19:48,988 --> 00:19:52,758
Language. And that this isn’t

542
00:19:52,758 --> 00:19:56,195
an important obligation that we

543
00:19:56,195 --> 00:19:58,297
have, because it is a mandated

544
00:19:58,297 --> 00:20:00,866
service that is in our statute

545
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:04,169
And so it is important for u

546
00:20:04,170 --> 00:20:07,674
to do so. I don’t know if that

547
00:20:07,673 --> 00:20:08,774
specifically addresses what you

548
00:20:08,774 --> 00:20:10,109
are looking for with respect t

549
00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:12,678
AI.

550
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:13,746
>> Well.

551
00:20:13,746 --> 00:20:15,881
>> When you say we can’t, you

552
00:20:15,881 --> 00:20:18,150
know, is it because the

553
00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:19,518
technology is not there or is

554
00:20:19,518 --> 00:20:20,753
the technology is there and

555
00:20:20,753 --> 00:20:22,588
we’re just not legally able to

556
00:20:22,588 --> 00:20:25,257
use it?

557
00:20:25,257 --> 00:20:28,160
>> I am not specifically

558
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,829
familiar with AI technology

559
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:32,799
that would meet our statutory

560
00:20:32,798 --> 00:20:38,170
requirements.

561
00:20:38,170 --> 00:20:40,706
>> Okay. Thank you.

562
00:20:40,706 --> 00:20:43,209
>> Okay. If there’s no other

563
00:20:43,209 --> 00:20:45,478
questions or concerns, I’ll

564
00:20:45,478 --> 00:20:48,648
entertain a motion to approve

565
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:49,715
>> So moved.

566
00:20:49,715 --> 00:20:50,749
>> Thank you. Second.

567
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:52,285
>> Moved and seconded. All

568
00:20:52,284 --> 00:20:56,188
those in favor, say I. I I.

569
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:57,589
thank you. Motion carries.

570
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,058
Thanks very much.

571
00:20:59,058 --> 00:21:02,328
>> Yes. Thank you.

572
00:21:02,328 --> 00:21:03,462
>> Okay. I think you’re

573
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:04,830
sticking around for the next

574
00:21:04,830 --> 00:21:09,068
item too. So yes. So this is

575
00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:10,603
the electronic monitoring. So

576
00:21:10,603 --> 00:21:12,371
please go ahead.

577
00:21:12,371 --> 00:21:14,340
>> Thank you. And I, I wanted

578
00:21:14,340 --> 00:21:17,109
to thank you. When Diane

579
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:19,211
Rathburn was present in front

580
00:21:19,211 --> 00:21:23,916
of you on August 4th with a

581
00:21:23,916 --> 00:21:26,819
grant application request, I

582
00:21:26,819 --> 00:21:27,953
wanted to thank you, council

583
00:21:27,953 --> 00:21:29,688
members, for the permission to

584
00:21:29,688 --> 00:21:31,857
proceed with the application.

585
00:21:31,857 --> 00:21:33,992
The application was submitted

586
00:21:33,993 --> 00:21:36,162
and we are optimistically

587
00:21:36,162 --> 00:21:37,964
waiting to hear back. I spoke

588
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:40,899
with Diane this morning, and w

589
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:42,668
are hoping that within about a

590
00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:44,537
month and a half, we may hear

591
00:21:44,537 --> 00:21:46,205
back on the funding request

592
00:21:46,205 --> 00:21:48,774
that we’re hoping that we will

593
00:21:48,774 --> 00:21:53,779
be funded for this. On the

594
00:21:53,779 --> 00:21:55,247
possibility that we will not b

595
00:21:55,247 --> 00:21:57,716
funded. I believe. Council

596
00:21:57,716 --> 00:22:00,018
Member Fuentes, you had asked

597
00:22:00,019 --> 00:22:02,755
what would happen if we are n

598
00:22:02,755 --> 00:22:07,827
funded. Mr. Zimmerman had

599
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:09,662
projected that we will run o

600
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:12,865
of funding in October of this

601
00:22:12,865 --> 00:22:18,037
year, and. While the programs

602
00:22:18,037 --> 00:22:21,307
would still exist, the program

603
00:22:21,307 --> 00:22:24,043
would not be affordable for

604
00:22:24,043 --> 00:22:26,979
many individuals in our county,

605
00:22:26,979 --> 00:22:28,514
and that would mean that peo

606
00:22:28,514 --> 00:22:31,250
would remain in our facility,

607
00:22:31,250 --> 00:22:36,956
the Clark County Jail. And so

608
00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:39,525
there are several programs in

609
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:41,994
our electronic monitoring

610
00:22:41,994 --> 00:22:46,665
programs. They are. Required.

611
00:22:46,665 --> 00:22:49,334
So when someone is sentenced o

612
00:22:49,335 --> 00:22:52,071
a DUI, there is a requirement

613
00:22:52,071 --> 00:22:57,476
for them to be able to be o

614
00:22:57,476 --> 00:22:59,745
electronic monitoring. And some

615
00:22:59,745 --> 00:23:01,814
of this funding goes towards

616
00:23:01,814 --> 00:23:04,016
that. And if some individuals

617
00:23:04,016 --> 00:23:05,784
are able to be out on

618
00:23:05,784 --> 00:23:07,586
electronic monitoring and

619
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:11,890
transdermal, then that becomes

620
00:23:11,891 --> 00:23:13,726
a question of fairness. If s

621
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:15,061
people are able to do that

622
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:16,228
because they can afford it, an

623
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:18,130
other people have to sit in th

624
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:19,264
Clark County Jail because they

625
00:23:19,265 --> 00:23:22,001
are unable to afford that. So

626
00:23:22,001 --> 00:23:24,470
this this program actually

627
00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:27,373
allows all of those people to

628
00:23:27,373 --> 00:23:29,542
be monitored, to be home, to b

629
00:23:29,541 --> 00:23:32,444
working, and to be adequately

630
00:23:32,444 --> 00:23:36,381
monitored. This also funds the

631
00:23:36,382 --> 00:23:37,450
electronic monitoring with

632
00:23:37,449 --> 00:23:40,319
Victim Notification Technology

633
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:42,855
Program, which is the GPS

634
00:23:42,855 --> 00:23:44,290
program that we are familiar

635
00:23:44,290 --> 00:23:49,362
with, as well as Scram and the

636
00:23:49,361 --> 00:23:51,096
urinalysis testing for those

637
00:23:51,096 --> 00:23:53,999
who are pretrial when that i

638
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:56,502
ordered by the court as a

639
00:23:56,502 --> 00:24:02,341
pretrial condition of release.

640
00:24:02,341 --> 00:24:04,109
>> Okay. Thank you. Are there

641
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:05,510
questions from the council

642
00:24:05,511 --> 00:24:05,978
chair?

643
00:24:05,978 --> 00:24:07,213
>> Do you have a really quick

644
00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:08,380
question? Thanks for

645
00:24:08,380 --> 00:24:10,916
remembering the conversation.

646
00:24:10,916 --> 00:24:13,152
You you mentioned that if. Wel

647
00:24:13,152 --> 00:24:15,621
first of all, when do we

648
00:24:15,621 --> 00:24:17,056
anticipate to hear about

649
00:24:17,056 --> 00:24:19,892
whether or not the grant was

650
00:24:19,892 --> 00:24:20,993
approved.

651
00:24:20,993 --> 00:24:22,461
>> In round one? We heard

652
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:24,263
within two months. Okay. And

653
00:24:24,263 --> 00:24:26,398
it’s been a couple of weeks. S

654
00:24:26,398 --> 00:24:27,766
we’re hoping that within abou

655
00:24:27,766 --> 00:24:29,701
a month and a half, we would b

656
00:24:29,702 --> 00:24:30,736
able to hear, okay.

657
00:24:30,736 --> 00:24:32,538
>> So that will probably it’ll

658
00:24:32,538 --> 00:24:33,806
take us up to October, right?

659
00:24:33,806 --> 00:24:35,541
>> Yes. And should we be

660
00:24:35,541 --> 00:24:37,610
successful, then we would no

661
00:24:37,609 --> 00:24:39,044
longer need the funding.

662
00:24:39,044 --> 00:24:40,479
>> Okay. I we’re going to be

663
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:42,081
successful. Right? I think yea

664
00:24:42,081 --> 00:24:43,182
I’m pretty sure you guys

665
00:24:43,182 --> 00:24:44,750
submitted an amazing grant. You

666
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:46,952
mentioned that there are folks

667
00:24:46,952 --> 00:24:49,455
who can’t afford to pay for t

668
00:24:49,455 --> 00:24:50,957
monitoring services. If we

669
00:24:50,956 --> 00:24:52,724
don’t get approved for the

670
00:24:52,725 --> 00:24:54,126
grant, what is it cost for

671
00:24:54,126 --> 00:24:55,060
those who could afford it?

672
00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:56,662
What’s the daily cost?

673
00:24:56,662 --> 00:24:59,565
>> It depends on actually whi

674
00:24:59,565 --> 00:25:01,033
condition and which program

675
00:25:01,033 --> 00:25:03,836
they’re ordered. So it could

676
00:25:03,836 --> 00:25:06,372
$15 a day. It could be $21 a

677
00:25:06,372 --> 00:25:09,275
day. It depends on what is

678
00:25:09,274 --> 00:25:10,742
ordered. So whether that’s

679
00:25:10,743 --> 00:25:15,414
scram or GPS monitoring, it

680
00:25:15,414 --> 00:25:16,815
depends on the program.

681
00:25:16,815 --> 00:25:18,617
>> So a lot a lot cheaper than

682
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,119
incarcerating somebody for

683
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,654
almost $210 a day.

684
00:25:21,653 --> 00:25:24,055
>> Yeah. $216 a day.

685
00:25:24,056 --> 00:25:25,491
>> 216 okay, I was looking at

686
00:25:25,491 --> 00:25:27,426
the top one here. Oh, that was

687
00:25:27,426 --> 00:25:29,728
2025. So inflation. 216. Gre

688
00:25:29,728 --> 00:25:31,930
Thank you.

689
00:25:31,930 --> 00:25:33,698
>> Other questions. Yes.

690
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:36,268
Councilor young.

691
00:25:36,268 --> 00:25:38,103
>> Yes, thank you chair.

692
00:25:38,103 --> 00:25:40,272
Similar to my last question, I

693
00:25:40,272 --> 00:25:42,040
think the last time this came

694
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:44,176
in front of us, we had a short

695
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:46,378
discussion about how we are

696
00:25:46,378 --> 00:25:48,180
determining whether people can

697
00:25:48,180 --> 00:25:49,915
afford this on their own

698
00:25:49,915 --> 00:25:53,552
without. It or not. And if I

699
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:54,953
remember correctly, I think you

700
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:58,256
were maybe in process of

701
00:25:58,257 --> 00:26:02,528
developing a way to make sure

702
00:26:02,528 --> 00:26:05,064
or to can’t afford to comment

703
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,233
on.

704
00:26:07,232 --> 00:26:08,500
>> Did you hear that question?

705
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:10,202
Because I think he was asking

706
00:26:10,202 --> 00:26:11,537
about how do we how do we

707
00:26:11,537 --> 00:26:12,638
determine whether or not

708
00:26:12,638 --> 00:26:14,773
someone can afford it, whether

709
00:26:14,773 --> 00:26:18,010
or not there’s a financial need?

710
00:26:18,010 --> 00:26:19,545
>> That need, I believe, is

711
00:26:19,545 --> 00:26:21,213
based on whether or not someo

712
00:26:21,213 --> 00:26:24,149
is determined to be indigent,

713
00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:26,685
being indigent by the court.

714
00:26:26,685 --> 00:26:30,022
And one of the things that w

715
00:26:30,022 --> 00:26:31,357
wrote into our grant

716
00:26:31,356 --> 00:26:32,524
application is that we would b

717
00:26:32,524 --> 00:26:33,625
working with all of our

718
00:26:33,625 --> 00:26:37,462
partners. We’ve been focusing

719
00:26:37,463 --> 00:26:39,465
on in the last month and a hal

720
00:26:39,465 --> 00:26:42,535
since I have been here as the

721
00:26:42,534 --> 00:26:44,202
district court administrator,

722
00:26:44,203 --> 00:26:45,404
on being really collaborative

723
00:26:45,404 --> 00:26:46,839
with our partners and trying to

724
00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:49,041
figure out how can we look at

725
00:26:49,041 --> 00:26:52,578
our programs and best use our

726
00:26:52,578 --> 00:26:55,881
resources that are available,

727
00:26:55,881 --> 00:26:58,317
been working with Vancouver

728
00:26:58,317 --> 00:27:00,486
Police Department, who they’re

729
00:27:00,486 --> 00:27:01,921
working with. One of the

730
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,189
programs, which is the MVNT o

731
00:27:04,189 --> 00:27:05,557
the electronic monitoring the

732
00:27:05,557 --> 00:27:07,826
GPS program. They did write a

733
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:09,861
letter of support for the grant

734
00:27:09,862 --> 00:27:13,899
application and wanting to loo

735
00:27:13,899 --> 00:27:17,102
at. She’s offered to do some

736
00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:18,337
training or refresher training

737
00:27:18,337 --> 00:27:20,306
for the courts, and I know has

738
00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:21,773
already worked with the

739
00:27:21,773 --> 00:27:23,942
prosecuting attorney’s office

740
00:27:23,942 --> 00:27:25,343
in terms of how the programs

741
00:27:25,344 --> 00:27:28,581
work, really looking at how c

742
00:27:28,580 --> 00:27:32,584
we best use the resources and

743
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:36,188
not overuse the resources, but

744
00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:37,956
use them the way they are

745
00:27:37,956 --> 00:27:40,459
intended and, and preserve our

746
00:27:40,459 --> 00:27:42,227
cost and the life of the

747
00:27:42,227 --> 00:27:44,062
program?

748
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:46,231
>> That all sounds great. I wa

749
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:47,299
wondering, I was wondering

750
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:48,667
about that. So it’s the courts

751
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:49,902
that decide whether or not

752
00:27:49,902 --> 00:27:52,037
someone is indigent, and do

753
00:27:52,037 --> 00:27:55,974
they base that on some data

754
00:27:55,974 --> 00:27:56,374
there?

755
00:27:56,375 --> 00:27:58,177
>> There is a form that is

756
00:27:58,177 --> 00:27:59,345
completed at the beginning of

757
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:00,278
the hearing.

758
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:00,513
>> Okay.

759
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:04,249
>> Is it just self-declare?

760
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:05,684
>> If people are just self

761
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:06,451
declaring that they can’t

762
00:28:06,451 --> 00:28:08,920
afford this.

763
00:28:08,921 --> 00:28:10,756
>> I will say yes. There are

764
00:28:10,756 --> 00:28:12,124
specific questions that are

765
00:28:12,124 --> 00:28:13,626
asked and it’s based on the

766
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:15,026
answers provided.

767
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:17,129
>> Okay. And then I was, you

768
00:28:17,129 --> 00:28:18,263
know, I noticed that there’s

769
00:28:18,263 --> 00:28:21,566
been a sharp increase and, you

770
00:28:21,567 --> 00:28:23,135
know, how do you how do you

771
00:28:23,135 --> 00:28:24,603
account for that, that increas

772
00:28:24,603 --> 00:28:26,438
And I think this started as a

773
00:28:26,438 --> 00:28:30,208
grant funded program not too

774
00:28:30,209 --> 00:28:32,144
long. When did it start that

775
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:35,180
were picking up the cost of

776
00:28:35,180 --> 00:28:37,349
this? So I think there was a

777
00:28:37,349 --> 00:28:40,919
time when we didn’t.

778
00:28:40,919 --> 00:28:42,020
>> That’s correct. We had

779
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:43,455
various grants for various

780
00:28:43,455 --> 00:28:45,290
components of this program,

781
00:28:45,290 --> 00:28:46,691
some of them from the

782
00:28:46,692 --> 00:28:47,760
administrative office of the

783
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:48,860
courts, others by the

784
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:50,328
Washington Traffic Safety

785
00:28:50,329 --> 00:28:53,232
Commission. Both of those gra

786
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:55,334
funding funded components have

787
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:57,937
expired now, and the last one

788
00:28:57,936 --> 00:29:00,405
is expiring this October for

789
00:29:00,405 --> 00:29:02,908
the electronic monitoring for

790
00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:05,611
DOI, and that is provided by

791
00:29:05,611 --> 00:29:07,213
the Washington Traffic Safety

792
00:29:07,212 --> 00:29:09,715
Commission. And hence we

793
00:29:09,715 --> 00:29:11,183
projected out until the end of

794
00:29:11,183 --> 00:29:13,819
the year. There is not going t

795
00:29:13,819 --> 00:29:15,487
be any more funding for that

796
00:29:15,487 --> 00:29:17,356
component of the program. The

797
00:29:17,356 --> 00:29:19,158
other component of the program

798
00:29:19,157 --> 00:29:20,892
was GPS with victim

799
00:29:20,892 --> 00:29:22,060
notification, and a lot of tha

800
00:29:22,060 --> 00:29:25,664
was recommendations from the P

801
00:29:25,664 --> 00:29:33,872
office to. For for that part of

802
00:29:33,872 --> 00:29:34,940
monitoring.

803
00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:36,341
>> I can see where that would

804
00:29:36,341 --> 00:29:39,277
be really very important. Chair

805
00:29:39,278 --> 00:29:40,379
Yes. Go ahead.

806
00:29:40,379 --> 00:29:41,480
>> April 1st, for the record,

807
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,282
Deputy County Manager. And I

808
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:44,383
think that the program is only

809
00:29:44,383 --> 00:29:46,018
like three years old, and we

810
00:29:46,018 --> 00:29:47,953
were one of the first in the

811
00:29:47,953 --> 00:29:49,955
state to do it. And so I think

812
00:29:49,955 --> 00:29:51,056
the rapid increase is just

813
00:29:51,056 --> 00:29:52,157
recognizing, I mean, our courts,

814
00:29:52,157 --> 00:29:55,160
we all believe in it. The court

815
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,897
systems, VPD, public defense

816
00:29:58,897 --> 00:30:01,633
and Pretrial District Court.

817
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:03,101
>> That was my recollection t

818
00:30:03,101 --> 00:30:05,604
So I just wanted some

819
00:30:05,604 --> 00:30:08,874
confirmation. You know, I’m I

820
00:30:08,874 --> 00:30:10,576
appreciate that you’re looking

821
00:30:10,575 --> 00:30:12,043
internally to see if there’s

822
00:30:12,044 --> 00:30:14,580
ways to prioritize or how the

823
00:30:14,579 --> 00:30:16,181
system is working. And I would

824
00:30:16,181 --> 00:30:18,216
just request when you begin to

825
00:30:18,216 --> 00:30:20,418
figure that out, or if you hav

826
00:30:20,419 --> 00:30:21,086
recommendations, if you could

827
00:30:21,086 --> 00:30:22,521
share that with the Law and

828
00:30:22,521 --> 00:30:24,656
Justice Council or even, you

829
00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:25,891
know, kick it around with the

830
00:30:25,891 --> 00:30:27,459
Law and Justice Council to try

831
00:30:27,459 --> 00:30:30,195
to figure out how we can make

832
00:30:30,195 --> 00:30:32,264
this most efficient, because I

833
00:30:32,264 --> 00:30:34,032
see it as part of the justice

834
00:30:34,032 --> 00:30:36,601
part of law and justice. It’s

835
00:30:36,601 --> 00:30:38,403
critically important. Any other

836
00:30:38,403 --> 00:30:40,171
comments or questions from the

837
00:30:40,172 --> 00:30:40,572
Council?

838
00:30:40,572 --> 00:30:41,573
>> Just one really quick

839
00:30:41,573 --> 00:30:43,308
question, chair. The grant tha

840
00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:45,844
we’ve applied for that

841
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:48,447
hopefully we get approved. For

842
00:30:48,447 --> 00:30:49,848
How long is the grant for year

843
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:50,582
two? Three?

844
00:30:50,582 --> 00:30:52,751
>> It would fund us through

845
00:30:52,751 --> 00:30:54,886
June 30th of 2028.

846
00:30:54,886 --> 00:30:56,454
>> So a couple years. No, yea

847
00:30:56,455 --> 00:30:57,890
and a half. Yeah. Okay. Thank

848
00:30:57,889 --> 00:30:58,857
you.

849
00:30:58,857 --> 00:31:00,092
>> Great. Well, fingers crossed

850
00:31:00,092 --> 00:31:02,061
on that. If there’s no other

851
00:31:02,060 --> 00:31:03,528
questions or comments, I’ll

852
00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:04,996
entertain a motion to approve

853
00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:06,164
>> I move to approve separate

854
00:31:06,164 --> 00:31:07,165
business item number two.

855
00:31:07,165 --> 00:31:08,199
>> A second.

856
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,268
>> Moved and seconded. All

857
00:31:09,267 --> 00:31:13,571
those in favor say I I I. Okay.

858
00:31:13,572 --> 00:31:15,040
Motion carries. Thank you very

860
00:31:16,174 --> 00:31:19,144
>> Thank you. Okay, let’s move

861
00:31:19,144 --> 00:31:22,581

862
00:31:22,581 --> 00:31:30,522

acquisitions and disposals, who

873
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:01,786
is going to present our request

874
00:32:01,787 --> 00:32:05,791
today.

875
00:32:05,791 --> 00:32:07,593
>> Hi. Good evening, Council

876
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:09,060
chair and councilors. I’m

877
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:10,461
Sterling Kessler, the fleet

878
00:32:10,462 --> 00:32:11,530
program coordinator for Clark

879
00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:13,499
County Public Works. Tonight,

880
00:32:13,498 --> 00:32:16,201
we are requesting that we get

881
00:32:16,201 --> 00:32:18,437
approval to preorder the

882
00:32:18,437 --> 00:32:20,239
replacement vehicles for the

883
00:32:20,238 --> 00:32:23,108
2027 model year fleet services,

884
00:32:23,108 --> 00:32:25,577
reviews and analyzes assets

885
00:32:25,577 --> 00:32:27,379
managed within our air and our

886
00:32:27,379 --> 00:32:30,249
program to ensure compliance

887
00:32:30,248 --> 00:32:33,118
with the fleet utilization and

888
00:32:33,118 --> 00:32:35,721
replacement policy and

889
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,121
determine when replacement is

890
00:32:37,122 --> 00:32:39,992
necessary. The attached list t

891
00:32:39,991 --> 00:32:42,026
this staff report identifies

892
00:32:42,027 --> 00:32:43,295
the vehicles and equipment tha

893
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:46,498
we are planning to replace in

894
00:32:46,498 --> 00:32:50,068
2027. This request comes

895
00:32:50,068 --> 00:32:51,870
through due to the fact that

896
00:32:51,870 --> 00:32:53,638
order windows for original

897
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:55,540
equipment manufacturers open u

898
00:32:55,540 --> 00:32:57,642
at different times of the year

899
00:32:57,642 --> 00:32:59,444
and do not necessarily line up

900
00:32:59,444 --> 00:33:01,980
with our budget year starting

901
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:03,448
January 1st. This has created

902
00:33:03,448 --> 00:33:06,251
problems in the past, procuring

903
00:33:06,251 --> 00:33:08,053
replacement equipment, causing

904
00:33:08,053 --> 00:33:11,690
the equipment that has been

905
00:33:11,690 --> 00:33:13,192
identified to be replaced to be

906
00:33:13,191 --> 00:33:15,293
in service longer, driving up

907
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:18,897
maintenance costs, creating

908
00:33:18,897 --> 00:33:21,032
additional administrative

909
00:33:21,032 --> 00:33:24,269

occur after January 1st in 202

917
00:33:46,992 --> 00:33:48,393
>> Okay. Thank you. Are there

918
00:33:48,393 --> 00:33:53,865
any questions from Council? I

919
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:56,267
don’t hear any questions or

920
00:33:56,268 --> 00:33:58,537
comments. If not, I’ll

entertain a motion to approve.

regional solid Waste System. So

949
00:35:01,466 --> 00:35:02,934
we came and did a work session

950
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:04,702
in June to talk about the cost

951
00:35:04,703 --> 00:35:07,673
benefit analysis and what

952
00:35:07,672 --> 00:35:10,074
resulted in that study that w

953
00:35:10,075 --> 00:35:11,677
did was that we really neede

954
00:35:11,676 --> 00:35:13,378
to move forward in evaluating

955
00:35:13,378 --> 00:35:15,180
the governance structure for

956
00:35:15,180 --> 00:35:16,648
what a regional ownership would

957
00:35:16,648 --> 00:35:18,750
look like, and then factor int

958
00:35:18,750 --> 00:35:20,919
costs would follow that this

959
00:35:20,919 --> 00:35:22,554
work is going to this work was

960
00:35:22,554 --> 00:35:23,822
modeled after the discovery

961
00:35:23,822 --> 00:35:25,957
Clean Water Alliance formation

962
00:35:25,957 --> 00:35:28,092
And so when we did the RFP for

963
00:35:28,093 --> 00:35:30,696
this consultant contract, we

964
00:35:30,695 --> 00:35:33,164
borrowed the RFP from that

965
00:35:33,164 --> 00:35:34,999
discovery Clean Water Alliance

966
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,102
work. And so we really modeled this off of

967
00:35:38,103 --> 00:35:40,305
the success of that alliance

968
00:35:40,305 --> 00:35:41,840
formation. And we’re going to

969
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,710
look forward to moving into th

970
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:47,545
discussions with the cities o

971
00:35:47,545 --> 00:35:49,313
how they envision the system.

972
00:35:49,314 --> 00:35:51,049
So I’m happy to answer any

973
00:35:51,049 --> 00:35:52,951
questions that you have.

974
00:35:52,951 --> 00:35:54,686
>> Okay. Any questions or

975
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:56,888
comments? What would be the

976
00:35:56,888 --> 00:35:57,989
timeline?

977
00:35:57,989 --> 00:35:59,457
>> So this contract is for

978
00:35:59,457 --> 00:36:01,225
three years. Right now we

979
00:36:01,226 --> 00:36:02,994
really have to discuss with the

980
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:05,430
cities what what availability

981
00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:07,165
they have. We’ve discussed

982
00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:08,833
maybe a compressed timeline

983
00:36:08,833 --> 00:36:10,601
where we just meet more

984
00:36:10,602 --> 00:36:12,370
frequently and get something,

985
00:36:12,370 --> 00:36:14,138
an MOU and an interlocal

986
00:36:14,139 --> 00:36:16,008
agreement started right away,

987
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:17,509
or we might have to extend i

988
00:36:17,509 --> 00:36:19,211
out a year. It just depends o

989
00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:21,846
what everyone’s 2027 looks lik

990
00:36:21,846 --> 00:36:23,514
So we did the contract

991
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:24,649
initially with the consultant

992
00:36:24,649 --> 00:36:27,152
for three years, but we’re ope

993
00:36:27,152 --> 00:36:30,055
to any, any number of options

994
00:36:30,055 --> 00:36:31,857
in terms of the timeline. We

995
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:35,393
need to commit to some or s

996
00:36:35,393 --> 00:36:39,397
decision by December 31st, 202

997
00:36:39,397 --> 00:36:41,165
That’s that was committed to

998
00:36:41,166 --> 00:36:42,901
via interlocal agreements with

999
00:36:42,901 --> 00:36:44,403
all of the cities that we d

1000
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:46,938
during the solid waste

1001
00:36:46,938 --> 00:36:48,072
management plan that we did

1002
00:36:48,073 --> 00:36:50,542
last year.

1003
00:36:50,542 --> 00:36:51,610
>> Okay.

1004
00:36:51,609 --> 00:36:52,810
>> Just really quick question.

1005
00:36:52,811 --> 00:36:54,880
So other jurisdictions have

1006
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:56,848
have had similar presentations

1007
00:36:56,848 --> 00:36:58,850
in front of the council to

1008
00:36:58,850 --> 00:37:01,319
discuss the potential future

1009
00:37:01,319 --> 00:37:03,855
partnership of acquiring waste

1010
00:37:03,855 --> 00:37:05,290
management. Is that correct?

1011
00:37:05,290 --> 00:37:06,792
>> The transfer stations are

1012
00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:07,825
owned currently by Waste

1013
00:37:07,826 --> 00:37:08,660
Connections of Washington.

1014
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:09,661
>> Waste connections. Thank you

1015
00:37:09,661 --> 00:37:11,463
Thank you. So but they are

1016
00:37:11,463 --> 00:37:12,531
they’ve been in conversations.

1017
00:37:12,530 --> 00:37:13,531
Yeah. Okay. Thank you.

1018
00:37:13,531 --> 00:37:14,799
>> We were just at battleground

1019
00:37:14,799 --> 00:37:15,700
last night, in fact.

1020
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:17,569
>> Okay. Got it. Thank you.

1021
00:37:17,569 --> 00:37:18,637
>> How how are those

1022
00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:19,570
conversations been going? Is

1023
00:37:19,571 --> 00:37:20,972
there an openness interest?

1024
00:37:20,972 --> 00:37:23,274
>> I think there’s a varying

1025
00:37:23,274 --> 00:37:24,709
level of interest. I think

1026
00:37:24,709 --> 00:37:26,544
everyone’s excited about

1027
00:37:26,544 --> 00:37:28,780
evaluating the options. I would

1028
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:30,482
say there’s a spectrum on

1029
00:37:30,482 --> 00:37:33,719
interest in terms of, you know,

1030
00:37:33,718 --> 00:37:34,919
just wanting to make sure tha

1031
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:36,721
the rates are going to remain

1032
00:37:36,721 --> 00:37:37,822
stable and that there’s going

1033
00:37:37,822 --> 00:37:39,757
to be some. I think the most

1034
00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:40,993
exciting thing is just the

1035
00:37:40,992 --> 00:37:42,327
opportunity to competitively

1036
00:37:42,327 --> 00:37:44,529
bid for pricing. And so I thi

1037
00:37:44,529 --> 00:37:45,597
everyone’s said that there’s an

1038
00:37:45,597 --> 00:37:48,133
interest in that regard. And

1039
00:37:48,133 --> 00:37:50,302
just any opportunity to, you

1040
00:37:50,301 --> 00:37:52,470
know, have lower rates for

1041
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:53,871
residents and then, you know,

1042
00:37:53,872 --> 00:37:57,509
better system outcomes, better

1043
00:37:57,509 --> 00:37:58,577
opportunities to manage the

1044
00:37:58,576 --> 00:38:00,078
system so that we can have mor

1045
00:38:00,078 --> 00:38:02,547
control over the types of

1046
00:38:02,547 --> 00:38:03,548
materials that are going

1047
00:38:03,548 --> 00:38:04,682
through it.

1048
00:38:04,682 --> 00:38:05,783
>> Great. Well, discovery,

1049
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:07,953
clean water is a good example

1050
00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:11,222
to model after. Go ahead.

1051
00:38:11,222 --> 00:38:13,691
>> Yeah. Just curious, how doe

1052
00:38:13,691 --> 00:38:15,126
the regional governance

1053
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:17,662
structure work in other

1054
00:38:17,662 --> 00:38:20,565
counties and how is the

1055
00:38:20,565 --> 00:38:22,100
liability risk shared amongst

1056
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:24,202
the different jurisdictions?

1057
00:38:24,202 --> 00:38:25,270
>> Washington has so many

1058
00:38:25,270 --> 00:38:27,372
different examples. When we did

1059
00:38:27,372 --> 00:38:28,540
our regional system study, w

1060
00:38:28,540 --> 00:38:30,609
had J.R. Miller and Associate

1061
00:38:30,608 --> 00:38:32,877
perform that study for us. The

1062
00:38:32,877 --> 00:38:34,946
we did a presentation in 2023

1063
00:38:34,946 --> 00:38:37,015
on that. There was pretty much

1064
00:38:37,015 --> 00:38:39,584
four different models that wer

1065
00:38:39,584 --> 00:38:43,221
referenced in that study. We

1066
00:38:43,221 --> 00:38:45,023
went over each of them. But the

1067
00:38:45,023 --> 00:38:46,825
model that the Discovery Clean

1068
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:49,461
Water Alliance uses is we’re

1069
00:38:49,460 --> 00:38:50,828
not sure that we’re going to be

1070
00:38:50,829 --> 00:38:52,698
exactly able to do that, which

1071
00:38:52,697 --> 00:38:55,133
is a joint municipal utility

1072
00:38:55,133 --> 00:38:57,602
services configuration. I think

1073
00:38:57,602 --> 00:38:59,003
what we’re looking at is doing

1074
00:38:59,003 --> 00:39:00,471
something with Interlocal

1075
00:39:00,471 --> 00:39:04,508
Cooperation Act, which is wha

1076
00:39:04,509 --> 00:39:06,244
other counties do in Washingto

1077
00:39:06,244 --> 00:39:07,846
I think typically the county

1078
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,848
either owns or they have it.

1079
00:39:09,848 --> 00:39:11,316
It’s either privately owned,

1080
00:39:11,316 --> 00:39:13,451
and then if they own it,

1081
00:39:13,451 --> 00:39:14,519
sometimes they contract out

1082
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:17,055
those services. In terms of a

1083
00:39:17,055 --> 00:39:18,857
regional structure, there’s

1084
00:39:18,857 --> 00:39:20,992
really nothing I don’t think

1085
00:39:20,992 --> 00:39:23,228
that can compare. Maybe Metro

1086
00:39:23,228 --> 00:39:24,963
over across the river is

1087
00:39:24,963 --> 00:39:26,832
probably more similar. And whe

1088
00:39:26,831 --> 00:39:28,599
we did the regional system

1089
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,735
study in terms of what the

1090
00:39:30,735 --> 00:39:32,737
other cities kind of envisione

1091
00:39:32,737 --> 00:39:34,339
there wasn’t anything that we

1092
00:39:34,339 --> 00:39:37,909
could model that was an exact

1093
00:39:37,909 --> 00:39:39,477
replica in Washington. We had

1094
00:39:39,477 --> 00:39:41,412
some examples in California,

1095
00:39:41,412 --> 00:39:43,014
but really we leaned on the

1096
00:39:43,014 --> 00:39:44,415
Discovery Clean Water Alliance

1097
00:39:44,415 --> 00:39:45,683
as that’s the vision that all

1098
00:39:45,683 --> 00:39:47,585
of the cities and the county a

1099
00:39:47,585 --> 00:39:48,886
the time really thought was

1100
00:39:48,887 --> 00:39:51,223
what we wanted to do.

1101
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:53,458
>> Okay, thanks. And so the

1102
00:39:53,458 --> 00:39:55,927
liability is shared amongst t

1103
00:39:55,927 --> 00:39:56,928
jurisdictions. You know, do

1104
00:39:56,928 --> 00:39:58,463
they get insurance jointly or

1105
00:39:58,463 --> 00:39:59,164
how does that work?

1106
00:39:59,163 --> 00:40:00,598
>> You know, it’s a good

1107
00:40:00,598 --> 00:40:04,202
question. There’s so many

1108
00:40:04,202 --> 00:40:05,336
different responses in the

1109
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:09,207
sense of if it’s a complete

1110
00:40:09,207 --> 00:40:11,443
separate entity, the liability

1111
00:40:11,442 --> 00:40:12,810
would fall to the entity.

1112
00:40:12,810 --> 00:40:13,911
There’d be they’d have their

1113
00:40:13,912 --> 00:40:14,946
own separate insurance, they’d

1114
00:40:14,946 --> 00:40:16,181
have their own attorneys. So

1115
00:40:16,180 --> 00:40:17,848
it’s just, it’s really going t

1116
00:40:17,849 --> 00:40:19,017
we’re going to have to really

1117
00:40:19,017 --> 00:40:20,852
lean on our legal services to

1118
00:40:20,852 --> 00:40:22,020
decide like what that structure

1119
00:40:22,020 --> 00:40:22,988
looks like.

1120
00:40:22,987 --> 00:40:24,188
>> But our attorney is leaning.

1121
00:40:24,188 --> 00:40:26,157
>> Yeah, I was going to say. To

1122
00:40:26,157 --> 00:40:26,357
make.

1123
00:40:26,357 --> 00:40:28,125
>> A comment, please go ahead,

1124
00:40:28,126 --> 00:40:28,326
Amber.

1125
00:40:28,326 --> 00:40:29,294
>> Thank you. Chair. Good

1126
00:40:29,294 --> 00:40:30,395
evening Council. Amber Smith,

1127
00:40:30,395 --> 00:40:31,930
Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting

1128
00:40:31,930 --> 00:40:33,298
Attorney so with respect to

1129
00:40:33,298 --> 00:40:34,866
these types of things and wit

1130
00:40:34,866 --> 00:40:36,468
most of our agreements that we

1131
00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:37,735
have with the county, when

1132
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:40,905
we’re dealing with inter local

1133
00:40:40,905 --> 00:40:42,407
or kind of joint collaborative

1134
00:40:42,407 --> 00:40:44,542
work, we often have language

1135
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:46,677
there about mutual

1136
00:40:46,678 --> 00:40:48,180
indemnification. Washington

1137
00:40:48,179 --> 00:40:49,914
state has proportional

1138
00:40:49,914 --> 00:40:51,682
liability for a lot of things.

1139
00:40:51,683 --> 00:40:54,252
So depending on the actors and

1140
00:40:54,252 --> 00:40:55,920
whether or not we have sold

1141
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:56,921
negligence language, there’s a

1142
00:40:56,921 --> 00:40:58,189
lot of opportunities

1143
00:40:58,189 --> 00:40:59,290
contractually that we can do

1144
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:02,860
for liabilities to help reduc

1145
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:05,763
and also offset those maybe n

1146
00:41:05,763 --> 00:41:07,298
necessarily eliminate, but mak

1147
00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:08,199
sure that there’s language in

1148
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:09,400
there, that it’s proportional

1149
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,903
based on the parties.

1150
00:41:11,903 --> 00:41:14,072
>> Okay. Thank you.

1151
00:41:14,072 --> 00:41:15,507
>> Other comments or questions

1152
00:41:15,506 --> 00:41:20,111
from council? Hearing none,

1153
00:41:20,111 --> 00:41:21,579
I’ll entertain a motion to

1154
00:41:21,579 --> 00:41:24,849

1155
00:41:24,849 --> 00:41:26,651
>> I so move.

1156
00:41:26,651 --> 00:41:28,453
>> Second moved and seconded

1157
00:41:28,453 --> 00:41:30,655
for separate business item

1158
00:41:30,655 --> 00:41:32,790

great. We’re glad to see you.

00:41:58,783 --> 00:42:00,385
>> Good evening Council Sarah

1183
00:42:24,175 --> 00:42:26,344
looks like our financial

1184
00:42:26,344 --> 00:42:30,648

00:42:30,648 --> 00:42:32,783
Maggie online? Just wanting to

1186
00:42:32,784 --> 00:42:34,986
check and confirm. I can’t see

1187
00:42:34,986 --> 00:42:39,324
everyone. Yes. Okay. Wonderful

1188
00:42:39,323 --> 00:42:40,891
Thank you. Wonderful. So if

1189
00:42:40,892 --> 00:42:42,260
there are any questions that

00:42:42,260 --> 00:42:44,162
come up for PFM, they’re onlin

1191
00:42:44,162 --> 00:42:46,131
And then we have a couple o

1192
00:42:46,130 --> 00:42:47,632
folks in the audience. Marc

1193
00:42:47,632 --> 00:42:49,000
Gasque. And then our bond

1194
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,502
council is actually in person

1195
00:42:50,501 --> 00:42:52,803
this evening. So Mark Gernhar

1196
00:42:52,804 --> 00:42:55,507
from Foster Garvey. So Mark

1197
00:42:55,506 --> 00:42:56,607
Gasque will also be coming up

1198
00:42:56,607 --> 00:42:58,242
here to replace me for the

1199
00:42:58,242 --> 00:43:00,010
slides. So thank you, Council

1200
00:43:00,011 --> 00:43:02,080
We are here this evening to a

1201
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,149
for your approval of a

1202
00:43:04,148 --> 00:43:06,317
resolution delegating the

1203
00:43:06,317 --> 00:43:08,786
Treasurer’s Office authority t

1204
00:43:08,786 --> 00:43:12,790
issue $44 million in bonds to

1205
00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:16,460
execute several projects at the

1206
00:43:16,461 --> 00:43:18,897
fairgrounds. We do have a short

1207
00:43:18,896 --> 00:43:19,930
presentation for you this

1208
00:43:19,931 --> 00:43:20,965
evening that just kind of

1209
00:43:20,965 --> 00:43:22,166
explains the projects that will

1210
00:43:22,166 --> 00:43:25,069
be funded with those bonds, t

1211
00:43:25,069 --> 00:43:27,171
financing plan, and what

1212
00:43:27,171 --> 00:43:29,006
exactly is in the resolution.

1213
00:43:29,006 --> 00:43:31,509
The resolution that was poste

1214
00:43:31,509 --> 00:43:33,711
originally has been amended.

1215
00:43:33,711 --> 00:43:36,214
And so that is up for adoptio

1216
00:43:36,214 --> 00:43:37,282
this evening. There are some

1217
00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:39,483
just minor modifications to add

1218
00:43:39,484 --> 00:43:42,988
the word fairgrounds to the

1219
00:43:42,987 --> 00:43:45,256
resolution, so that it syncs u

1220
00:43:45,256 --> 00:43:46,591
with our original agreement

1221
00:43:46,591 --> 00:43:48,393
with the Public Facilities

1222
00:43:48,392 --> 00:43:50,294
district. So with that, I am

1223
00:43:50,294 --> 00:43:52,163
going to turn it over to my

1224
00:43:52,163 --> 00:43:53,431
colleagues in the Treasurer’s

1225
00:43:53,431 --> 00:43:54,632
office and internal services s

1226
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:56,667
they can go over the

1227
00:43:56,667 --> 00:43:57,668
presentation for you this

1228
00:43:57,668 --> 00:43:59,603
evening. Thank you.

1229
00:43:59,604 --> 00:44:02,006
>> Thank you. You can go to the

1230
00:44:02,006 --> 00:44:08,579
next slide. Thank you. Okay.

1231
00:44:08,579 --> 00:44:10,214
Can you hear me? There we go.

1232
00:44:10,214 --> 00:44:13,417
Okay. In this presentation

1233
00:44:13,417 --> 00:44:15,052
we’ll review one the

1234
00:44:15,052 --> 00:44:16,220
fairgrounds projects. There was

1235
00:44:16,220 --> 00:44:18,656
some updated final cost to the

1236
00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:19,757
second phase that Michelle is

1237
00:44:19,757 --> 00:44:22,593
going to cover for those future

1238
00:44:22,593 --> 00:44:24,028
projects. And we’ll also

1239
00:44:24,028 --> 00:44:25,429
provide an overview of the

1240
00:44:25,429 --> 00:44:26,530
resolution and the key details

1241
00:44:26,531 --> 00:44:29,401
of the financing. And we’ll

1242
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,968
also go over the updated debt

1243
00:44:30,968 --> 00:44:33,070
service projections with

1244
00:44:33,070 --> 00:44:35,506
updated rates and including

1245
00:44:35,506 --> 00:44:37,708
those updated costs as well for

1246
00:44:37,708 --> 00:44:39,577
those future projects. And the

1247
00:44:39,577 --> 00:44:40,945
the auditor’s office will cover

1248
00:44:40,945 --> 00:44:43,147
the exhibit hall fund forecas

1249
00:44:43,147 --> 00:44:44,615
We’ll also go over the debt

1250
00:44:44,615 --> 00:44:45,583
issuance timeline. And then

1251
00:44:45,583 --> 00:44:47,452
also just next steps in the

1252
00:44:47,451 --> 00:44:52,456
financing proposal.

1253
00:44:52,456 --> 00:44:54,992
>> The slide before you is the

1254
00:44:54,992 --> 00:44:57,127
updated master plan project

1255
00:44:57,128 --> 00:44:58,963
financing. And so when we had

1256
00:44:58,963 --> 00:45:00,431
brought this to you before, w

1257
00:45:00,431 --> 00:45:02,533
did not have the construction

1258
00:45:02,533 --> 00:45:05,836
costs for the 2030 to 2032

1259
00:45:05,836 --> 00:45:07,938
portion on there. And so sin

1260
00:45:07,939 --> 00:45:10,074
then, we have fleshed out tho

1261
00:45:10,074 --> 00:45:11,676
estimated costs and added them

1262
00:45:11,676 --> 00:45:13,444
in. And we also added the bon

1263
00:45:13,444 --> 00:45:14,679
issuance cost, which you’ll see

1264
00:45:14,679 --> 00:45:16,414
at the bottom, which now gets

1265
00:45:16,414 --> 00:45:18,416
us our new total of the 44

1266
00:45:18,416 --> 00:45:19,851
million. Previously, what you

1267
00:45:19,850 --> 00:45:22,786
had seen was just over the 3

1268
00:45:22,787 --> 00:45:24,522
million, which included the the

1269
00:45:24,522 --> 00:45:27,625
phase one bonding, the 2026 to

1270
00:45:27,625 --> 00:45:29,694
2029 plus the A and E force, o

1271
00:45:29,694 --> 00:45:32,764
the phase two 2029 bonds. But

1272
00:45:32,763 --> 00:45:34,231
now we’re coming back with it

1273
00:45:34,232 --> 00:45:36,401
all wrapped together as one t

1274
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:44,008
get it into the bond resolutio

1275
00:45:44,008 --> 00:45:45,176
>> Okay. And then just an

1276
00:45:45,176 --> 00:45:46,878
overview of the resolution. As

1277
00:45:46,877 --> 00:45:48,245
Sarah mentioned, we are

1278
00:45:48,246 --> 00:45:50,048
requesting council approval to

1279
00:45:50,047 --> 00:45:51,482
delegate authority to the

1280
00:45:51,482 --> 00:45:52,650
Treasurer’s office to issue

1281
00:45:52,650 --> 00:45:55,119
bonds up to 44 million to

1282
00:45:55,119 --> 00:45:56,554
finance those projects that

1283
00:45:56,554 --> 00:45:58,356
Michelle covered. This also

1284
00:45:58,356 --> 00:46:00,592
allows us to do financing up

1285
00:46:00,591 --> 00:46:03,694
a maximum term of 30 years.

1286
00:46:03,694 --> 00:46:05,863
Typically, our debt policy is

1287
00:46:05,863 --> 00:46:07,665
our standard term is 20 years

1288
00:46:07,665 --> 00:46:09,133
unless there is compelling

1289
00:46:09,133 --> 00:46:10,968
factors. One of the main

1290
00:46:10,968 --> 00:46:12,336
advantages of doing a 30 year

1291
00:46:12,336 --> 00:46:14,104
is really maximizing that sales

1292
00:46:14,105 --> 00:46:16,341
tax credit that we receive f

1293
00:46:16,340 --> 00:46:18,876
the state that will allow us t

1294
00:46:18,876 --> 00:46:20,044
collect that sales tax credit

1295
00:46:20,044 --> 00:46:24,549
through 2058. And also just to

1296
00:46:24,548 --> 00:46:26,417
state debt is required to b

1297
00:46:26,417 --> 00:46:27,818
outstanding on a public

1298
00:46:27,818 --> 00:46:29,586
facility district in order to

1299
00:46:29,587 --> 00:46:31,122
receive that sales tax credit.

1300
00:46:31,122 --> 00:46:33,257
And the county only has one

1301
00:46:33,257 --> 00:46:34,692
Ph.D, and that is that the

1302
00:46:34,692 --> 00:46:37,628
fairgrounds. Other items in the

1303
00:46:37,628 --> 00:46:39,063
resolution also include the

1304
00:46:39,063 --> 00:46:41,866
interest rate parameters on o

1305
00:46:41,866 --> 00:46:44,035
a tax exempt basis, it may not

1306
00:46:44,035 --> 00:46:46,237
exceed 6%. And on a taxable

1307
00:46:46,237 --> 00:46:50,174
basis, it may not exceed 7%. I

1308
00:46:50,174 --> 00:46:51,609
also states that all bonds must

1309
00:46:51,609 --> 00:46:54,512
be issued before December 31st

1310
00:46:54,512 --> 00:46:56,581
2029. And then just part of th

1311
00:46:56,580 --> 00:46:57,748
process, the county will

1312
00:46:57,748 --> 00:46:59,316
receive a credit ratings

1313
00:46:59,317 --> 00:47:01,286
through Moody’s on this

1314
00:47:01,285 --> 00:47:03,254
issuance and most likely again

1315
00:47:03,254 --> 00:47:05,189
when we go out for issuance in

1316
00:47:05,189 --> 00:47:10,795
2029. The next couple of sli

1317
00:47:10,795 --> 00:47:12,196
are updated. Debt service

1318
00:47:12,196 --> 00:47:14,198
payments that PFM provided.

1319
00:47:14,198 --> 00:47:16,801
This is, as of last week,

1320
00:47:16,801 --> 00:47:18,436
August 13th with rates updated.

1321
00:47:18,436 --> 00:47:21,940
It includes the 26 and the 202

1322
00:47:21,939 --> 00:47:23,607
debt issuances. And I’ll just

1323
00:47:23,607 --> 00:47:25,642
state for the 2029 interest

1324
00:47:25,643 --> 00:47:28,312
rates, it is increased by 1%.

1325
00:47:28,312 --> 00:47:29,780
This would put annual debt

1326
00:47:29,780 --> 00:47:31,649
service payments starting in

1327
00:47:31,649 --> 00:47:33,818
2026 at about 1.9 million, and

1328
00:47:33,818 --> 00:47:37,555
then increasing another 830,000

1329
00:47:37,555 --> 00:47:41,292
in 2029 to about 2.7 annually,

1330
00:47:41,292 --> 00:47:43,795
2.7 million annually. And the

1331
00:47:43,794 --> 00:47:45,396
next slide shows what that

1332
00:47:45,396 --> 00:47:47,098
would look like at a 20 year

1333
00:47:47,098 --> 00:47:48,967
term. While you can see the

1334
00:47:48,966 --> 00:47:51,368
interest rate costs, we would

1335
00:47:51,369 --> 00:47:52,437
save an interest rate cost. T

1336
00:47:52,436 --> 00:47:54,038
interest rate is lower. Our

1337
00:47:54,038 --> 00:47:55,072
annual debt service payment is

1338
00:47:55,072 --> 00:47:57,608
much higher. That’s about 2.3

1339
00:47:57,608 --> 00:47:59,276
million starting in 2026. And

1340
00:47:59,276 --> 00:48:01,178
then bumping up about another 1

1341
00:48:01,178 --> 00:48:06,450
million starting in 2029. I’ll

1342
00:48:06,450 --> 00:48:08,018
also just state, too, that the

1343
00:48:08,018 --> 00:48:09,753
county does have the option to

1344
00:48:09,754 --> 00:48:11,522
refinance at a future date i

1345
00:48:11,522 --> 00:48:14,091
rates lower. I know right now

1346
00:48:14,091 --> 00:48:15,159
interest rates are a bit

1347
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:16,627
volatile, and like, I think we

1348
00:48:16,627 --> 00:48:19,830
just had the highest 30 year

1349
00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:21,265
Treasury yields are at the 30

1350
00:48:21,265 --> 00:48:22,500
year Treasury is the highest

1351
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:25,970
it’s been, I think since 2007.

1352
00:48:25,970 --> 00:48:27,472
So we are closely watching tha

1353
00:48:27,471 --> 00:48:29,106
and monitoring that and working

1354
00:48:29,106 --> 00:48:34,612
with our financial advisor.

1355
00:48:34,612 --> 00:48:37,048
Next slide. I’ll hand it over

1356
00:48:37,047 --> 00:48:39,216
to Mark.

1357
00:48:39,216 --> 00:48:40,751
>> Excuse me. Mark Gasque,

1358
00:48:40,751 --> 00:48:42,152
Clark County finance Director.

1359
00:48:42,153 --> 00:48:45,423
I just want to just briefly

1360
00:48:45,423 --> 00:48:47,358
explain the financial analysis

1361
00:48:47,358 --> 00:48:49,026
that we did to determine

1362
00:48:49,026 --> 00:48:51,262
whether we could afford to d

1363
00:48:51,262 --> 00:48:53,731
the repayment on this debt. S

1364
00:48:53,731 --> 00:48:55,199
what you have before you here

1365
00:48:55,199 --> 00:48:57,301
is an example of the what we

1366
00:48:57,301 --> 00:48:59,837
call the 1026 fund or the deb

1367
00:48:59,837 --> 00:49:01,272
reserve fund. There are several

1368
00:49:01,272 --> 00:49:02,673
funds associated with the

1369
00:49:02,673 --> 00:49:04,909
fairgrounds, and this one is

1370
00:49:04,909 --> 00:49:08,045
primarily focused on paying o

1371
00:49:08,045 --> 00:49:10,247
the the outstanding bonds. And

1372
00:49:10,247 --> 00:49:11,882
you can see the revenues coming

1373
00:49:11,882 --> 00:49:14,218
in. The revenues from the Ph.D

1374
00:49:14,218 --> 00:49:16,353
sales tax credit would be put

1375
00:49:16,353 --> 00:49:19,223
into this fund, along with the

1376
00:49:19,223 --> 00:49:20,591
revenue sources from the hotel

1377
00:49:20,591 --> 00:49:23,160
motel tax. And then they would

1378
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,262
primarily be focused on payin

1379
00:49:25,262 --> 00:49:27,264
off the existing bonds, as w

1380
00:49:27,264 --> 00:49:28,932
as those new bonds that would

1381
00:49:28,933 --> 00:49:31,135
be issued under this debt

1382
00:49:31,135 --> 00:49:34,405
issuance. We also have some

1383
00:49:34,405 --> 00:49:36,140
maintenance and operation

1384
00:49:36,140 --> 00:49:37,675
expenses that we run through

1385
00:49:37,675 --> 00:49:42,680
this fund as well. We recentl

1386
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,448
had council approve a fund

1387
00:49:44,448 --> 00:49:46,350
balance policy for this fund

1388
00:49:46,350 --> 00:49:48,886
under the current terms. Excus

1389
00:49:48,886 --> 00:49:50,287
me, under the current terms

1390
00:49:50,287 --> 00:49:52,055
that were discussing the 30

1391
00:49:52,056 --> 00:49:53,858
year bond, you can see that as

1392
00:49:53,858 --> 00:49:57,061
we go out six years, we do

1393
00:49:57,061 --> 00:49:58,462
spend down that fund balance a

1394
00:49:58,462 --> 00:50:01,398
little, actually quite a bit,

1395
00:50:01,398 --> 00:50:02,466
but we still maintain our

1396
00:50:02,466 --> 00:50:04,668
minimum fund balance and some

1397
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:07,437
extra at this point. And then

1398
00:50:07,438 --> 00:50:16,113
if you go to the next slide.

1399
00:50:16,113 --> 00:50:19,016
The next slide is an example

1400
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:20,484
what the difference would be

1401
00:50:20,484 --> 00:50:22,086
between a 30 year issuance an

1402
00:50:22,086 --> 00:50:24,455
a 20 year issuance. With the

1403
00:50:24,455 --> 00:50:27,692
most recent rates that we have.

1404
00:50:27,691 --> 00:50:29,760
This slide actually has been

1405
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,763
updated. But the outcome the

1406
00:50:32,763 --> 00:50:34,465
the difference at the end of

1407
00:50:34,465 --> 00:50:36,400
the life of the bonds is stil

1408
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,502
the same. There’s about a $34

1409
00:50:38,502 --> 00:50:40,971
million increase by issuing t

1410
00:50:40,971 --> 00:50:42,773
30 year bonds, because we’re

1411
00:50:42,773 --> 00:50:45,276
able to qualify for that sales

1412
00:50:45,276 --> 00:50:47,278
tax credit for an additional

1413
00:50:47,278 --> 00:50:50,314
ten years. And so although th

1414
00:50:50,314 --> 00:50:51,715
the amount that would

1415
00:50:51,715 --> 00:50:53,283
accumulate is, is lower than

1416
00:50:53,284 --> 00:50:55,353
what this slide indicates, tha

1417
00:50:55,352 --> 00:50:57,521
difference is still there. And

1418
00:50:57,521 --> 00:50:59,723
so the recommendation right now

1419
00:50:59,723 --> 00:51:03,393
is to maximize the the ability

1420
00:51:03,394 --> 00:51:05,062
for the county to collect tha

1421
00:51:05,062 --> 00:51:12,670
sales tax credit. So.

1422
00:51:12,670 --> 00:51:13,871
>> And then this slide just

1423
00:51:13,871 --> 00:51:15,206
goes over the proposed timelin

1424
00:51:15,205 --> 00:51:16,840
and key dates. We are hoping

1425
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,075
receive council approval

1426
00:51:18,075 --> 00:51:19,843
tonight on the for

1427
00:51:19,843 --> 00:51:22,045
consideration on the resolutio

1428
00:51:22,046 --> 00:51:23,447
August through October we will

1429
00:51:23,447 --> 00:51:25,215
be working with Department of

1430
00:51:25,215 --> 00:51:27,751
Commerce on a Ph.D feasibility

1431
00:51:27,751 --> 00:51:29,886
review. The Washington State

1432
00:51:29,887 --> 00:51:31,822
Department of Commerce does

1433
00:51:31,822 --> 00:51:33,190
require an independent

1434
00:51:33,190 --> 00:51:34,591
feasibility review for all

1435
00:51:34,592 --> 00:51:36,794
public facility districts.

1436
00:51:36,794 --> 00:51:38,529
These reviews ensure objective

1437
00:51:38,529 --> 00:51:40,264
analysis of a project’s costs

1438
00:51:40,264 --> 00:51:43,601
and expected revenues. They a

1439
00:51:43,601 --> 00:51:45,436
required before issuing any new

1440
00:51:45,436 --> 00:51:46,804
debt, so we would have this

1441
00:51:46,804 --> 00:51:48,339
fully completed before we went

1442
00:51:48,339 --> 00:51:50,842
out for the bonds during that

1443
00:51:50,841 --> 00:51:52,609
same October or August through

1444
00:51:52,610 --> 00:51:53,778
October time frame. We’re also

1445
00:51:53,777 --> 00:51:55,045
going to be working on draftin

1446
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:56,580
the preliminary official

1447
00:51:56,580 --> 00:51:58,415
statement and then October

1448
00:51:58,415 --> 00:51:59,616
applying for the credit ratings

1449
00:51:59,617 --> 00:52:01,586
with Moody’s. And then

1450
00:52:01,585 --> 00:52:03,754
hopefully well receive the

1451
00:52:03,754 --> 00:52:04,855
rating and finalize the

1452
00:52:04,855 --> 00:52:05,923
official statement sometime

1453
00:52:05,923 --> 00:52:07,324
between October and November

1454
00:52:07,324 --> 00:52:09,193
with the final bond sale

1455
00:52:09,193 --> 00:52:11,295
sometime in November and

1456
00:52:11,295 --> 00:52:12,363
closing everything by the end

1457
00:52:12,363 --> 00:52:17,835
of the year. So as far as next

1458
00:52:17,835 --> 00:52:20,004
steps, as I mentioned, we are

1459
00:52:20,004 --> 00:52:21,105
hoping to receive council

1460
00:52:21,105 --> 00:52:22,840
approval on the resolution

1461
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,308
facilities and SMG will

1462
00:52:24,308 --> 00:52:26,110
continue to work on the A and

1463
00:52:26,110 --> 00:52:27,144
on the projects that are

1464
00:52:27,144 --> 00:52:29,680
included in this proposal. Our

1465
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,148
office will continue working

1466
00:52:31,148 --> 00:52:33,651
with PFM, our financial advisor

1467
00:52:33,651 --> 00:52:35,853
and Foster Garvey, our bond

1468
00:52:35,853 --> 00:52:36,854
counsel, who will assist

1469
00:52:36,854 --> 00:52:39,023
throughout the process. We’ll

1470
00:52:39,023 --> 00:52:41,225
also help facilitate an

1471
00:52:41,225 --> 00:52:42,660
interlocal agreement for a

1472
00:52:42,660 --> 00:52:44,095
feasibility review with the

1473
00:52:44,094 --> 00:52:45,896
Ph.D and the Department of

1474
00:52:45,896 --> 00:52:48,031
Commerce. Of course, we’ll kee

1475
00:52:48,032 --> 00:52:49,901
council informed throughout th

1476
00:52:49,900 --> 00:52:51,635
process, both of the

1477
00:52:51,635 --> 00:52:52,736
feasibility study and that

1478
00:52:52,736 --> 00:52:54,871
final report, but also with t

1479
00:52:54,872 --> 00:52:57,408
bond closing for the 2026 and

1480
00:52:57,408 --> 00:53:01,712
again in 2029. And a final step

1481
00:53:01,712 --> 00:53:03,147
also, just making sure all the

1482
00:53:03,147 --> 00:53:04,248
budget packages will be

1483
00:53:04,248 --> 00:53:05,983
submitted this fall in

1484
00:53:05,983 --> 00:53:09,653
alignment with these proposals.

1485
00:53:09,653 --> 00:53:11,088
With that, I’ll ask if there’s

1486
00:53:11,088 --> 00:53:12,523
any questions.

1487
00:53:12,523 --> 00:53:14,425
>> Great. Thank you. I just

1488
00:53:14,425 --> 00:53:17,194
want to thank you all. We all

1489
00:53:17,194 --> 00:53:19,329
received individual one on

1490
00:53:19,329 --> 00:53:21,198
several of you briefings, so

1491
00:53:21,198 --> 00:53:23,300
that was very helpful. Any

1492
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:25,869
questions or comments from t

1493
00:53:25,869 --> 00:53:26,203
council?

1494
00:53:26,203 --> 00:53:27,705
>> I have a comment. Is, is

1495
00:53:27,705 --> 00:53:28,506
Larry online? There was

1496
00:53:28,505 --> 00:53:30,207
something that he said in

1497
00:53:30,207 --> 00:53:31,709
particular during my one on one

1498
00:53:31,709 --> 00:53:33,411
that I thought would be helpful

1499
00:53:33,410 --> 00:53:35,245
for the public to know, and I

1500
00:53:35,245 --> 00:53:36,446
cannot recall. Do you remember

1501
00:53:36,447 --> 00:53:37,348
what Sarah?

1502
00:53:37,347 --> 00:53:39,216
>> Oh, could you please come.

1503
00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:41,018
Up or you could stand right

1504
00:53:41,018 --> 00:53:41,218
there.

1505
00:53:41,218 --> 00:53:42,953
>> I just thought it was a

1506
00:53:42,953 --> 00:53:43,320
helpful comment.

1507
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,955
>> Good evening Council. Yes, I

1508
00:53:44,955 --> 00:53:46,089
do actually remember that. And

1509
00:53:46,090 --> 00:53:47,992
I think it’s in one of the

1510
00:53:47,991 --> 00:53:49,926
slides. But and we did try to

1511
00:53:49,927 --> 00:53:51,095
add it just that debt was

1512
00:53:51,095 --> 00:53:52,530
required to receive the sales

1513
00:53:52,529 --> 00:53:54,598
tax credit. We did think that

1514
00:53:54,598 --> 00:53:56,300
was an important point. And so

1515
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:58,302
we did add it to the slides. I

1516
00:53:58,302 --> 00:54:00,037
is actually a requirement to

1517
00:54:00,037 --> 00:54:00,905
continue receiving that sales

1518
00:54:00,904 --> 00:54:02,606
tax credit and to continue

1519
00:54:02,606 --> 00:54:03,974
receiving it for the maximum

1520
00:54:03,974 --> 00:54:06,243
amount of time of 30 years. A

1521
00:54:06,243 --> 00:54:07,311
that’s why we wrote the

1522
00:54:07,311 --> 00:54:08,646
resolution as we did.

1523
00:54:08,645 --> 00:54:10,347
>> Thanks for the clarification

1524
00:54:10,347 --> 00:54:11,081
>> You’re welcome.

1525
00:54:11,081 --> 00:54:12,249
>> Thank you, thank you. And

1526
00:54:12,249 --> 00:54:13,717
just to follow up, you

1527
00:54:13,717 --> 00:54:15,152
mentioned that we only have the

1528
00:54:15,152 --> 00:54:18,022
one Ph.D and that’s the Fair

1529
00:54:18,021 --> 00:54:19,456
Fairgrounds. Is there any

1530
00:54:19,456 --> 00:54:24,494
chance to get another Ph.D? Oh,

1531
00:54:24,495 --> 00:54:28,165
there’s a nod in the audience.

1532
00:54:28,165 --> 00:54:30,267
>> This is our bond council.

1533
00:54:30,267 --> 00:54:31,368
>> Mark Gernhart with the

1534
00:54:31,368 --> 00:54:33,136
Foster Garvey law firm in

1535
00:54:33,137 --> 00:54:34,538
Seattle. Counties are allowed

1536
00:54:34,538 --> 00:54:36,740
to create as many PhDs as they

1537
00:54:36,740 --> 00:54:38,508
like.

1538
00:54:38,509 --> 00:54:38,743
>> Okay.

1539
00:54:38,742 --> 00:54:41,044
>> The sales tax credit window

1540
00:54:41,044 --> 00:54:43,380
has closed. So if you create

1541
00:54:43,380 --> 00:54:45,415
new Ph.D, you would not be

1542
00:54:45,415 --> 00:54:46,816
eligible to receive that state

1543
00:54:46,817 --> 00:54:48,952
sales tax credit. You could put

1544
00:54:48,952 --> 00:54:53,623
before the voters a sales tax

1545
00:54:53,624 --> 00:54:57,261
up to 0.2% on the ballot. And

1546
00:54:57,261 --> 00:54:59,096
so that’s what we’re seeing

1547
00:54:59,096 --> 00:55:00,497
happening around the state now

1548
00:55:00,497 --> 00:55:01,765
>> Okay. That was kind of good

1549
00:55:01,765 --> 00:55:03,500
news, bad news really quickly

1550
00:55:03,500 --> 00:55:05,902
there. So thank thank you for

1551
00:55:05,903 --> 00:55:08,439
clarifying that. Any other

1552
00:55:08,438 --> 00:55:12,208
comments or concerns? Hearing

1553
00:55:12,209 --> 00:55:13,844
none I’ll entertain a motion t

1554
00:55:13,844 --> 00:55:14,511
approve.

1555
00:55:14,511 --> 00:55:15,679
>> I so move.

1556
00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:17,080
>> It’s been moved. Second

1557
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,848
moved and seconded. Thank you.

1558
00:55:18,849 --> 00:55:22,086
All those in favor say I, I I

1559
00:55:22,085 --> 00:55:25,322
okay, motion carries. Now

1560
00:55:25,322 --> 00:55:29,293
moving on to our final item

1561
00:55:29,293 --> 00:55:33,631
under this category, Internal

1562
00:55:33,630 --> 00:55:35,132
Services. Michelle, you’re

1563
00:55:35,132 --> 00:55:37,901
still here. And Ryan Bird is

1564
00:55:37,901 --> 00:55:41,204
maybe is online or he. Maybe

1565
00:55:41,205 --> 00:55:44,775
maybe okay, okay. Please go

1566
00:55:44,775 --> 00:55:47,278
ahead. This is a fair master

1567
00:55:47,277 --> 00:55:50,180
plan. Engineering and design

1568
00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:50,514
services.

1569
00:55:50,514 --> 00:55:52,182
>> Before we get started, if

1570
00:55:52,182 --> 00:55:53,583
could clarify for the record

1571
00:55:53,584 --> 00:55:55,586
that you’re passing the amended

1572
00:55:55,586 --> 00:55:55,920
resolution.

1573
00:55:55,919 --> 00:55:57,754
>> Oh, okay. And then I did

1574
00:55:57,754 --> 00:55:59,856
have a question about that. We

1575
00:55:59,857 --> 00:56:01,692
should say the resolution

1576
00:56:01,692 --> 00:56:03,861
number probably as well. Or

1577
00:56:03,861 --> 00:56:04,095
that’s.

1578
00:56:04,094 --> 00:56:04,294
>> We.

1579
00:56:04,294 --> 00:56:06,396
>> Can understood. But it’s

1580
00:56:06,396 --> 00:56:09,232
it’s is it corrected or is it

1581
00:56:09,233 --> 00:56:09,567
amended?

1582
00:56:09,566 --> 00:56:13,203
>> It’s as amended.

1583
00:56:13,203 --> 00:56:15,005
>> Would we need to pass the

1584
00:56:15,005 --> 00:56:15,372
amendment?

1585
00:56:15,372 --> 00:56:17,574
>> I would I would say it’s

1586
00:56:17,574 --> 00:56:19,309
passed the resolution as

1587
00:56:19,309 --> 00:56:20,043
amended.

1588
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:20,477
>> Amended?

1589
00:56:20,477 --> 00:56:22,045
>> Yes. And the amendment you

1590
00:56:22,045 --> 00:56:23,179
can see the change on your

1591
00:56:23,180 --> 00:56:24,148
screen right now.

1592
00:56:24,147 --> 00:56:25,482
>> Right. And just for the

1593
00:56:25,482 --> 00:56:27,284
public, the amendment is really

1594
00:56:27,284 --> 00:56:28,652
just correcting the language

1595
00:56:28,652 --> 00:56:30,821
from event center to the

1596
00:56:30,821 --> 00:56:32,656
fairgrounds to be consistent

1597
00:56:32,656 --> 00:56:34,491
with other documents related to

1598
00:56:34,491 --> 00:56:38,095
the fairgrounds. So let’s,

1599
00:56:38,095 --> 00:56:40,931
let’s, let’s take that vote

1600
00:56:40,931 --> 00:56:42,065
again. Is that what you’re

1601
00:56:42,065 --> 00:56:43,833
looking for? So the motion

1602
00:56:43,834 --> 00:56:47,071
would be approval of the

1603
00:56:47,070 --> 00:56:49,973
amended resolution. And I’m

1604
00:56:49,973 --> 00:56:53,610
just going to say it. 2020 608

1605
00:56:53,610 --> 00:56:54,311
ten.

1606
00:56:54,311 --> 00:56:55,712
>> I so move.

1607
00:56:55,712 --> 00:56:56,413
>> Thank you.

1608
00:56:56,413 --> 00:56:56,847
>> Second.

1609
00:56:56,847 --> 00:56:58,949
>> Moved and seconded. All in

1610
00:56:58,949 --> 00:57:05,389
favor. I, I I okay, thanks. All

1611
00:57:05,389 --> 00:57:07,625
right then back to item six

1612
00:57:07,624 --> 00:57:09,159
here internal Services.

1613
00:57:09,159 --> 00:57:11,128
>> Thank you again. Michelle

1614
00:57:11,128 --> 00:57:12,630
Schuster Director of Internal

1615
00:57:12,629 --> 00:57:14,764
Services before you tonight.

1616
00:57:14,765 --> 00:57:16,634
Now that you’ve proved the bon

1617
00:57:16,633 --> 00:57:18,735
resolution moving forward, is

1618
00:57:18,735 --> 00:57:20,904
staff report to ask for the

1619
00:57:20,904 --> 00:57:22,038
architectural and engineering

1620
00:57:22,039 --> 00:57:25,276
design services for the the

1621
00:57:25,275 --> 00:57:26,343
fairgrounds projects on the

1622
00:57:26,343 --> 00:57:29,179
master plan to be moved to thi

1623
00:57:29,179 --> 00:57:31,715
bond. Currently we have three

1624
00:57:31,715 --> 00:57:34,918
two approvals in the 2026

1625
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,821
annual budget for $1.7 million

1626
00:57:37,821 --> 00:57:39,723
to start the A and E and a lot

1627
00:57:39,723 --> 00:57:41,625
of these projects. But that was

1628
00:57:41,625 --> 00:57:42,826
to be funded directly out of

1629
00:57:42,826 --> 00:57:44,661
money coming from fund 1026,

1630
00:57:44,661 --> 00:57:45,896
which is now where the bond

1631
00:57:45,896 --> 00:57:47,731
debt will be paid from. And so

1632
00:57:47,731 --> 00:57:49,333
we’re wanting to move these

1633
00:57:49,333 --> 00:57:51,502
projects now and the other

1634
00:57:51,501 --> 00:57:52,969
projects and have them funded

1635
00:57:52,970 --> 00:57:55,206
against the bond in fund 302

1636
00:57:55,205 --> 00:57:58,709
which is our Bonded Bonded

1637
00:57:58,709 --> 00:58:00,110
Projects fund, where these

1638
00:58:00,110 --> 00:58:01,979
projects will now reside. And

1639
00:58:01,979 --> 00:58:04,815
so this is for approval of

1640
00:58:04,815 --> 00:58:06,517
amendments 4 to 14, which

1641
00:58:06,516 --> 00:58:08,084
covers all of the different

1642
00:58:08,085 --> 00:58:08,752
projects you saw in the

1643
00:58:08,752 --> 00:58:12,055
previous slides, and moving the

1644
00:58:12,055 --> 00:58:14,558
expense for those into the

1645
00:58:14,558 --> 00:58:16,326
bonded funds to be paid out of

1646
00:58:16,326 --> 00:58:18,995
that. And because that hadn’t

1647
00:58:18,996 --> 00:58:22,533
been approved in the original

1648
00:58:22,532 --> 00:58:23,500
contract, we had gotten

1649
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:24,568
permission from the council for

1650
00:58:24,568 --> 00:58:26,437
the county manager to sign

1651
00:58:26,436 --> 00:58:27,504
amendments. But since we didn’

1652
00:58:27,504 --> 00:58:29,439
have the funding set aside yet,

1653
00:58:29,439 --> 00:58:31,007
we were bringing these back to

1654
00:58:31,008 --> 00:58:32,910
you to get the approval to make

1655
00:58:32,909 --> 00:58:34,110
sure that you were all right.

1656
00:58:34,111 --> 00:58:36,180
With these amendments now going

1657
00:58:36,179 --> 00:58:38,314
off the new bonded funding and

1658
00:58:38,315 --> 00:58:46,290
total cost for these is. Is

1659
00:58:46,289 --> 00:58:48,057
$4,676,001 plus other

1660
00:58:48,058 --> 00:58:49,893
reimbursable expenses that are

1661
00:58:49,893 --> 00:58:51,628
outlined in the original

1662
00:58:51,628 --> 00:58:53,196
contract for a total not to

1663
00:58:53,196 --> 00:58:57,701
exceed 4,914,000. So just abo

1664
00:58:57,701 --> 00:58:59,503
10% of the overall project

1665
00:58:59,503 --> 00:59:04,208
budget. So. Any questions?

1666
00:59:04,207 --> 00:59:05,375
>> Thank you. Are there any

1667
00:59:05,375 --> 00:59:10,347
questions from Council? No

1668
00:59:10,347 --> 00:59:11,448
questions. I’ll entertain a

1669
00:59:11,448 --> 00:59:13,550
motion then to approve.

1670
00:59:13,550 --> 00:59:15,052
>> Move separate business ite

1671
00:59:15,052 --> 00:59:16,453
number six.

1672
00:59:16,453 --> 00:59:17,554
>> Thank you.

1673
00:59:17,554 --> 00:59:19,056
>> Moved and seconded. Thank

1674
00:59:19,056 --> 00:59:21,525
you. All those in favor say I I

1675
00:59:21,525 --> 00:59:23,260
I motion carries.

1676
00:59:23,260 --> 00:59:24,027
>> Thank you.

1677
00:59:24,027 --> 00:59:27,297
>> Thank you counselor young

1678
00:59:27,297 --> 00:59:29,833
then that concludes that

1679
00:59:29,833 --> 00:59:31,635
section. Let’s move on. County

1680
00:59:31,635 --> 00:59:32,970
manager report. Do you have

1681
00:59:32,969 --> 00:59:33,970
anything to report tonight?

1682
00:59:33,970 --> 00:59:35,138
>> I don’t have anything

1683
00:59:35,138 --> 00:59:35,372
tonight.

1684
00:59:35,372 --> 00:59:37,140
>> Thank you. Okay. Well, there

1685
00:59:37,140 --> 00:59:39,843
We’ve completed our meeting in

1686
00:59:39,843 --> 00:59:41,011
one hour. I would just note
