We have people I know. And. Administration. I have sent this to them. There’s [1:30:36] We have people I know. And. Administration. I have sent this to them. There’s one, actually [1:30:38] Administration. I have sent this to them. There’s one, actually there’s two or three, but the [1:30:38] this to them. There’s one, actually there’s two or three, but the one that I’m talking. [1:30:40] one, actually there’s two or three, but the one that I’m talking. Thinking of is they’re running [1:30:40] there’s two or three, but the one that I’m talking. Thinking of is they’re running a business out of their [1:30:42] one that I’m talking. Thinking of is they’re running a business out of their house. [1:30:43] Thinking of is they’re running a business out of their house. They have four different vans, [1:30:44] a business out of their house. They have four different vans, vans do not qualify. [1:30:48] house. They have four different vans, vans do not qualify. Because they’re underweight, [1:30:48] They have four different vans, vans do not qualify. Because they’re underweight, they park the vehicles on the. [1:30:54] Street the morning the workers [1:30:55] Street the morning the workers come, they double park, they [1:30:57] Street the morning the workers come, they double park, they move the van and then the [1:30:58] Street the morning the workers come, they double park, they move the van and then the workers park there. [1:30:58] come, they double park, they move the van and then the workers park there. So I think we really need to, [1:30:59] move the van and then the workers park there. So I think we really need to, if you want. [1:31:01] workers park there. So I think we really need to, if you want. Work, bring your vehicle home. [1:31:04] So I think we really need to, if you want. Work, bring your vehicle home. Off street parking. This is [1:31:05] if you want. Work, bring your vehicle home. Off street parking. This is we’re not reinventing the wheel. [1:31:09] Work, bring your vehicle home. Off street parking. This is we’re not reinventing the wheel. Other towns do this. And [1:31:10] Off street parking. This is we’re not reinventing the wheel. Other towns do this. And especially in areas [1:31:10] we’re not reinventing the wheel. Other towns do this. And especially in areas where parking [1:31:11] Other towns do this. And especially in areas where parking is a premium. [1:31:12] especially in areas where parking is a premium. Imagine coming home. [1:31:17] And having to go three blocks [1:31:17] And having to go three blocks or two blocks walking [1:31:19] And having to go three blocks or two blocks walking because somebody is using. [1:31:20] And having to go three blocks or two blocks walking because somebody is using. Four or five parking spaces on [1:31:20] or two blocks walking because somebody is using. Four or five parking spaces on that street. [1:31:22] because somebody is using. Four or five parking spaces on that street. To run their business. [1:31:25] Four or five parking spaces on that street. To run their business. I think it’s unfair to [1:31:25] that street. To run their business. I think it’s unfair to the residents. [1:31:28] To run their business. I think it’s unfair to the residents. Residents. And again, if they [1:31:29] I think it’s unfair to the residents. Residents. And again, if they have that many vehicles then [1:31:30] the residents. Residents. And again, if they have that many vehicles then rent. [1:31:33] Residents. And again, if they have that many vehicles then rent. Space to park your vehicles. [1:31:33] have that many vehicles then rent. Space to park your vehicles. It’s a cost of doing [1:31:35] rent. Space to park your vehicles. It’s a cost of doing business.

My question is that [1:52:32] People are coming up, so let’s go. My question is that when we get the yearly [1:52:33] let’s go. My question is that when we get the yearly water report. [1:52:36] My question is that when we get the yearly water report. It’s about the water and the [1:52:37] when we get the yearly water report. It’s about the water and the reservoir as it’s coming [1:52:38] water report. It’s about the water and the reservoir as it’s coming to our homes. [1:52:39] It’s about the water and the reservoir as it’s coming to our homes. Homes, but when the water goes [1:52:40] reservoir as it’s coming to our homes. Homes, but when the water goes through the pipe system, [1:52:40] to our homes. Homes, but when the water goes through the pipe system, which is old. [1:52:41] Homes, but when the water goes through the pipe system, which is old. And cracked in parts. [1:52:46] through the pipe system, which is old. And cracked in parts. And I know the major leagues [1:52:46] which is old. And cracked in parts. And I know the major leagues get fixed, but there’s [1:52:48] And cracked in parts. And I know the major leagues get fixed, but there’s many, many microscopic. [1:52:52] And I know the major leagues get fixed, but there’s many, many microscopic. Cracks in it, it gets to my [1:52:52] get fixed, but there’s many, many microscopic. Cracks in it, it gets to my home. It’s not [1:52:54] many, many microscopic. Cracks in it, it gets to my home. It’s not the same purity as it is when [1:52:54] Cracks in it, it gets to my home. It’s not the same purity as it is when it leaves. [1:52:55] home. It’s not the same purity as it is when it leaves. Leaves the reservoir. [1:52:58] the same purity as it is when it leaves. Leaves the reservoir. Are how can we don’t have any [1:52:59] it leaves. Leaves the reservoir. Are how can we don’t have any data on different [1:53:00] Leaves the reservoir. Are how can we don’t have any data on different points around town? [1:53:01] Are how can we don’t have any data on different points around town? On what the water quality is. [1:53:10] When you say we don’t have any [1:53:10] When you say we don’t have any data on the [1:53:11] When you say we don’t have any data on the water quality. [1:53:14] When you say we don’t have any data on the water quality. There was a memo or a brochure [1:53:15] data on the water quality. There was a memo or a brochure that went out.

[1:53:27] And our water meets all of the [1:53:28] And our water meets all of the requirements of the [1:53:30] And our water meets all of the requirements of the DEP, but that’s the test [1:53:30] And our water meets all of the requirements of the DEP, but that’s the test results from the reservoir. [1:53:32] requirements of the DEP, but that’s the test results from the reservoir. Not after it goes through [1:53:32] DEP, but that’s the test results from the reservoir. Not after it goes through your pipes. [1:53:33] results from the reservoir. Not after it goes through your pipes. Pipes because my pipes and [1:53:33] Not after it goes through your pipes. Pipes because my pipes and my water. [1:53:34] your pipes. Pipes because my pipes and my water. Is full of nitrate. [1:53:39] And yet the report says there [1:53:40] And yet the report says there isn’t. So the nitrates [1:53:41] And yet the report says there isn’t. So the nitrates must be becoming. [1:53:43] And yet the report says there isn’t. So the nitrates must be becoming. Into the water as it’s going [1:53:44] isn’t. So the nitrates must be becoming. Into the water as it’s going through the pipes. [1:53:48] must be becoming. Into the water as it’s going through the pipes. Well, okay. If so, I would [1:53:49] Into the water as it’s going through the pipes. Well, okay. If so, I would like to see testing [1:53:50] through the pipes. Well, okay. If so, I would like to see testing done throughout the city. [1:53:51] Well, okay. If so, I would like to see testing done throughout the city. At different spots. [1:53:53] like to see testing done throughout the city. At different spots. That takes into account. [1:53:56] done throughout the city. At different spots. That takes into account. What happens as the pure water? [1:53:59] At different spots. That takes into account. What happens as the pure water? Goes through the pipes, cuz I [1:54:00] That takes into account. What happens as the pure water? Goes through the pipes, cuz I think our water is [1:54:01] What happens as the pure water? Goes through the pipes, cuz I think our water is being. [1:54:02] Goes through the pipes, cuz I think our water is being. Polluted as it goes through [1:54:03] think our water is being. Polluted as it goes through the pipes. [1:54:06] being. Polluted as it goes through the pipes. Pipes. It’s not when it leaves [1:54:07] Polluted as it goes through the pipes. Pipes. It’s not when it leaves you it’s through the [1:54:08] the pipes. Pipes. It’s not when it leaves you it’s through the antiquated infrastructure. [1:54:09] Pipes. It’s not when it leaves you it’s through the antiquated infrastructure. But we don’t have the. [1:54:12] you it’s through the antiquated infrastructure. But we don’t have the. Quantitative data because [1:54:12] antiquated infrastructure. But we don’t have the. Quantitative data because we’re, unless. [1:54:21] I take it upon myself, which I [1:54:21] I take it upon myself, which I do. I test [1:54:22] I take it upon myself, which I do. I test my water, but Hey, I’m a [1:54:23] I take it upon myself, which I do. I test my water, but Hey, I’m a college professor and I [1:54:25] do. I test my water, but Hey, I’m a college professor and I teach water chemistry. So you [1:54:25] my water, but Hey, I’m a college professor and I teach water chemistry. So you know, this isn’t so hard [1:54:26] college professor and I teach water chemistry. So you know, this isn’t so hard for me. [1:54:27] teach water chemistry. So you know, this isn’t so hard for me. But [1:54:27] know, this isn’t so hard for me. But you know, I think we should do [1:54:27] for me. But you know, I think we should do this at different [1:54:28] But you know, I think we should do this at different spots in the city. [1:54:30] you know, I think we should do this at different spots in the city. And find out what’s in [1:54:30] this at different spots in the city. And find out what’s in the water. [1:54:33] spots in the city. And find out what’s in the water. Okay, so I will definitely [1:54:33] And find out what’s in the water. Okay, so I will definitely pursue your. [1:54:39] Request and see if there’s [1:54:40] Request and see if there’s anything that can be done. [1:54:41] Request and see if there’s anything that can be done. If I can just throw some in, [1:54:41] Request and see if there’s anything that can be done. If I can just throw some in, but there, I [1:54:42] anything that can be done. If I can just throw some in, but there, I don’t want to speak for [1:54:42] If I can just throw some in, but there, I don’t want to speak for you, but.

So we have, you know, all the regular costs of operating government. So. [3:10:27] So we have, you know, all the regular costs of operating government. So. Again, I, I know it’s. [3:10:32] It’s political season and it’s [3:10:33] It’s political season and it’s like, Ooh, you know, let’s [3:10:34] It’s political season and it’s like, Ooh, you know, let’s give the sound bite to do [3:10:34] It’s political season and it’s like, Ooh, you know, let’s give the sound bite to do that. And we all [3:10:35] like, Ooh, you know, let’s give the sound bite to do that. And we all want to do it, but there’s a [3:10:35] give the sound bite to do that. And we all want to do it, but there’s a responsible way to [3:10:37] that. And we all want to do it, but there’s a responsible way to do it. [3:10:40] want to do it, but there’s a responsible way to do it. And that starts with waiting [3:10:41] responsible way to do it. And that starts with waiting to see what our finances [3:10:44] do it. And that starts with waiting to see what our finances are even gonna be in October [3:10:44] And that starts with waiting to see what our finances are even gonna be in October and November for next [3:10:47] to see what our finances are even gonna be in October and November for next year. [3:10:47] are even gonna be in October and November for next year. And we, we added 15 police [3:10:48] and November for next year. And we, we added 15 police officers last year in [3:10:50] year. And we, we added 15 police officers last year in one shot. [3:10:51] And we, we added 15 police officers last year in one shot. I mean on top of all the other [3:10:51] officers last year in one shot. I mean on top of all the other costs of [3:10:53] one shot. I mean on top of all the other costs of operating government. [3:10:53] I mean on top of all the other costs of operating government. That was a huge [3:10:55] costs of operating government. That was a huge amount of money. [3:11:01] And, and tax increases on top [3:11:01] And, and tax increases on top of everything else we [3:11:02] And, and tax increases on top of everything else we had to do. So I think that. [3:11:04] And, and tax increases on top of everything else we had to do. So I think that. They’re slow, steady one step [3:11:05] of everything else we had to do. So I think that. They’re slow, steady one step at a time. [3:11:12] Am I gonna be in favor? Like I [3:11:13] Am I gonna be in favor? Like I said, it [3:11:14] Am I gonna be in favor? Like I said, it it’s one of those questions [3:11:14] Am I gonna be in favor? Like I said, it it’s one of those questions who wants to have 50 [3:11:15] said, it it’s one of those questions who wants to have 50 more cops. That’s all fine and [3:11:16] it’s one of those questions who wants to have 50 more cops. That’s all fine and dandy, but not when [3:11:18] who wants to have 50 more cops. That’s all fine and dandy, but not when it’s. [3:11:21] more cops. That’s all fine and dandy, but not when it’s. You know, political season and [3:11:21] dandy, but not when it’s. You know, political season and let’s start, you know, putting [3:11:24] it’s. You know, political season and let’s start, you know, putting all these things out there so [3:11:25] You know, political season and let’s start, you know, putting all these things out there so we can have a [3:11:26] let’s start, you know, putting all these things out there so we can have a headline and say, I wanted. [3:11:27] all these things out there so we can have a headline and say, I wanted. More cops or I, you know, [3:11:28] we can have a headline and say, I wanted. More cops or I, you know, for people who know me know. [3:11:30] headline and say, I wanted. More cops or I, you know, for people who know me know. That’s not how I operate. I’m [3:11:31] More cops or I, you know, for people who know me know. That’s not how I operate. I’m gonna do the responsible [3:11:33] for people who know me know. That’s not how I operate. I’m gonna do the responsible thing. [3:11:33] That’s not how I operate. I’m gonna do the responsible thing. And I’m gonna wait for us [3:11:34] gonna do the responsible thing. And I’m gonna wait for us to get. [3:11:36] thing. And I’m gonna wait for us to get. Numbers back in the fall, we [3:11:37] And I’m gonna wait for us to get.

We couldn’t even actually [3:11:41] have a new council coming in. We couldn’t even actually even if we did this right now. [3:11:50] There’s no reason not to even [3:11:51] There’s no reason not to even wait for the new [3:11:51] There’s no reason not to even wait for the new council and, and the budget [3:11:52] There’s no reason not to even wait for the new council and, and the budget numbers, because even if we [3:11:53] wait for the new council and, and the budget numbers, because even if we hired them, it wouldn’t be [3:11:54] council and, and the budget numbers, because even if we hired them, it wouldn’t be until next year anyway. So [3:11:56] numbers, because even if we hired them, it wouldn’t be until next year anyway. So why should we take. [3:11:56] hired them, it wouldn’t be until next year anyway. So why should we take. That away from not only the [3:11:57] until next year anyway. So why should we take. That away from not only the new members. [3:11:57] why should we take. That away from not only the new members. But seeing where all of these. [3:12:00] That away from not only the new members. But seeing where all of these. Insurance medical pension [3:12:01] new members. But seeing where all of these.

We all know what’s. [3:17:00] to go in the house. You need a, a warrant to go in. We all know what’s. What’s gonna happen. Set up. I [3:17:00] a, a warrant to go in. We all know what’s. What’s gonna happen. Set up. I think Gary talked about [3:17:01] to go in. We all know what’s. What’s gonna happen. Set up. I think Gary talked about it at one meeting with the [3:17:02] What’s gonna happen. Set up. I think Gary talked about it at one meeting with the housing, or maybe it [3:17:03] think Gary talked about it at one meeting with the housing, or maybe it was at my town hall, Gary. I [3:17:03] it at one meeting with the housing, or maybe it was at my town hall, Gary. I apologize if I’m [3:17:05] housing, or maybe it was at my town hall, Gary.

They get rid of the beds. They get rid of [3:17:08] an appointment. They get rid of the beds. They get rid of this. They get rid of that. [3:17:08] They get rid of the beds. They get rid of this. They get rid of that. We have a serious problem. [3:17:13] It is a drain on our services. [3:17:14] It is a drain on our services. It’s a drain [3:17:15] It is a drain on our services. It’s a drain on our emergency services. [3:17:17] It is a drain on our services. It’s a drain on our emergency services. Services or first responders. [3:17:17] It’s a drain on our emergency services. Services or first responders. It also goes down to the [3:17:19] on our emergency services. Services or first responders. It also goes down to the school board. [3:17:20] Services or first responders. It also goes down to the school board. And again, [3:17:22] It also goes down to the school board. And again, I believe Gary. [3:17:24] school board. And again, I believe Gary. There might be a new state. [3:17:26] And again, I believe Gary. There might be a new state. That we can require. [3:17:29] I believe Gary. There might be a new state. That we can require. Is it fire? [3:17:33] There might be a new state. That we can require. Is it fire? Inspections once a year. [3:17:33] That we can require. Is it fire? Inspections once a year. That’s correct. [3:17:35] Is it fire? Inspections once a year. That’s correct. Okay, can you explain? [3:17:43] And that’s a way we can’t just [3:17:44] And that’s a way we can’t just go in and [3:17:46] And that’s a way we can’t just go in and get and say, we need to [3:17:46] And that’s a way we can’t just go in and get and say, we need to inspect your house once [3:17:48] go in and get and say, we need to inspect your house once a year. If it’s a rental. [3:17:49] get and say, we need to inspect your house once a year. If it’s a rental. But with fire inspections, I [3:17:50] inspect your house once a year. If it’s a rental. But with fire inspections, I think we can require that. [3:17:52] a year. If it’s a rental. But with fire inspections, I think we can require that. Correct. [3:17:53] But with fire inspections, I think we can require that. Correct. For rental properties, right. [3:17:59] And we’ll give you a more [3:18:00] And we’ll give you a more detailed a memo on [3:18:01] And we’ll give you a more detailed a memo on the issue. I don’t want to too [3:18:02] And we’ll give you a more detailed a memo on the issue. I don’t want to too much off the [3:18:03] detailed a memo on the issue. I don’t want to too much off the hip, but you are correct so [3:18:03] the issue. I don’t want to too much off the hip, but you are correct so that the state doesn’t [3:18:05] much off the hip, but you are correct so that the state doesn’t allow. [3:18:06] hip, but you are correct so that the state doesn’t allow. Mercantile licenses for [3:18:08] that the state doesn’t allow. Mercantile licenses for year, round rentals, but they [3:18:09] allow. Mercantile licenses for year, round rentals, but they do allow. [3:18:16] For rentals inspections for [3:18:16] For rentals inspections for fire inspections. And so [3:18:17] For rentals inspections for fire inspections. And so those inspections [3:18:20] For rentals inspections for fire inspections. And so those inspections can be done annually. [3:18:21] fire inspections. And so those inspections can be done annually. And any rental property within. [3:18:27] The city would then be subject [3:18:28] The city would then be subject to a fire extinguisher [3:18:30] The city would then be subject to a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors. And if, [3:18:31] The city would then be subject to a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors. And if, if each door is being [3:18:33] to a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors. And if, if each door is being locked or independently, [3:18:35] and smoke detectors. And if, if each door is being locked or independently, such as a single family home [3:18:36] if each door is being locked or independently, such as a single family home with, with locks on [3:18:37] locked or independently, such as a single family home with, with locks on each bedroom door. So that [3:18:38] such as a single family home with, with locks on each bedroom door. So that would indicate that, that this [3:18:40] with, with locks on each bedroom door. So that would indicate that, that this being used in other than [3:18:41] each bedroom door. So that would indicate that, that this being used in other than a single. [3:18:41] would indicate that, that this being used in other than a single. Family. And so we’re gonna get [3:18:42] being used in other than a single. Family. And so we’re gonna get the council, the laws. [3:18:45] a single. Family. And so we’re gonna get the council, the laws. And some of the other [3:18:46] Family. And so we’re gonna get the council, the laws. And some of the other departments or some of the [3:18:47] the council, the laws. And some of the other departments or some of the other municipalities that use [3:18:48] And some of the other departments or some of the other municipalities that use this program. [3:18:49] departments or some of the other municipalities that use this program. To try to kind of build on the [3:18:50] other municipalities that use this program. To try to kind of build on the fire. Department’s. [3:18:58] Department’s fire inspections. [3:18:58] Department’s fire inspections. Okay. Can we have that for the [3:19:00] Department’s fire inspections. Okay. Can we have that for the next agenda? And I, at one [3:19:00] Department’s fire inspections. Okay. Can we have that for the next agenda? And I, at one time and Tom, maybe [3:19:02] Okay. Can we have that for the next agenda? And I, at one time and Tom, maybe you can help me out here. I [3:19:03] next agenda? And I, at one time and Tom, maybe you can help me out here. I know we had [3:19:03] time and Tom, maybe you can help me out here. I know we had a, a. [3:19:06] you can help me out here. I know we had a, a. I’m gonna call it a reward [3:19:06] know we had a, a. I’m gonna call it a reward program for lack of [3:19:08] a, a. I’m gonna call it a reward program for lack of better term that any illegal [3:19:08] I’m gonna call it a reward program for lack of better term that any illegal housing I know it’s was [3:19:11] program for lack of better term that any illegal housing I know it’s was done on the school board side [3:19:11] better term that any illegal housing I know it’s was done on the school board side that is found. [3:19:13] housing I know it’s was done on the school board side that is found. And validated, you know, [3:19:13] done on the school board side that is found. And validated, you know, there’s a reward, but I’m, I [3:19:16] that is found. And validated, you know, there’s a reward, but I’m, I look forward to that with [3:19:16] And validated, you know, there’s a reward, but I’m, I look forward to that with the inspections. [3:19:19] there’s a reward, but I’m, I look forward to that with the inspections. Inspections, because we do [3:19:20] look forward to that with the inspections. Inspections, because we do have a huge problem. We have [3:19:21] the inspections. Inspections, because we do have a huge problem.

I don’t know, mayor through the [3:20:11] gets better. Another one on that. I don’t know, mayor through the city manager. [3:20:12] Another one on that. I don’t know, mayor through the city manager. And my fire department days, I [3:20:12] know, mayor through the city manager. And my fire department days, I think we kind of [3:20:13] city manager. And my fire department days, I think we kind of got away from it. [3:20:15] And my fire department days, I think we kind of got away from it. When you went into a unit [3:20:16] think we kind of got away from it. When you went into a unit police, fire, [3:20:16] got away from it. When you went into a unit police, fire, emergency services. [3:20:24] Services and you found a, a [3:20:24] Services and you found a, a life hazard illegal, you [3:20:27] Services and you found a, a life hazard illegal, you know, cuz a lot of times you [3:20:27] Services and you found a, a life hazard illegal, you know, cuz a lot of times you go into these [3:20:28] life hazard illegal, you know, cuz a lot of times you go into these basements, there’s a extension [3:20:28] know, cuz a lot of times you go into these basements, there’s a extension cord connected to an [3:20:29] go into these basements, there’s a extension cord connected to an air condition. [3:20:32] basements, there’s a extension cord connected to an air condition. Conditioner through another [3:20:33] cord connected to an air condition. Conditioner through another air accord, like all that [3:20:33] air condition. Conditioner through another air accord, like all that kind of [3:20:34] Conditioner through another air accord, like all that kind of stuff. Or if you ran into a [3:20:35] air accord, like all that kind of stuff. Or if you ran into a house with pets [3:20:38] kind of stuff. Or if you ran into a house with pets being mistreated or mal. [3:20:38] stuff. Or if you ran into a house with pets being mistreated or mal. Malnourished you would call in. [3:20:40] house with pets being mistreated or mal. Malnourished you would call in. The department head, because [3:20:40] being mistreated or mal. Malnourished you would call in. The department head, because if I’m not mistaken, how the [3:20:41] Malnourished you would call in. The department head, because if I’m not mistaken, how the law is written is. [3:20:41] The department head, because if I’m not mistaken, how the law is written is. Once you, as Mary said, once [3:20:42] if I’m not mistaken, how the law is written is. Once you, as Mary said, once you leave the home. [3:20:48] Getting back in, it’s not [3:20:48] Getting back in, it’s not happening or everything’s [3:20:49] Getting back in, it’s not happening or everything’s gonna get [3:20:50] Getting back in, it’s not happening or everything’s gonna get removed, but while there is [3:20:51] happening or everything’s gonna get removed, but while there is possession of the home, [3:20:53] gonna get removed, but while there is possession of the home, by someone from the city you [3:20:53] removed, but while there is possession of the home, by someone from the city you could call in the [3:20:55] possession of the home, by someone from the city you could call in the inspector or. [3:21:01] Write the report up take back [3:21:02] Write the report up take back then we didn’t really [3:21:03] Write the report up take back then we didn’t really have phones, so you really [3:21:03] Write the report up take back then we didn’t really have phones, so you really couldn’t take pictures. [3:21:04] then we didn’t really have phones, so you really couldn’t take pictures. You didn’t [3:21:05] have phones, so you really couldn’t take pictures. You didn’t have, you know, we didn’t have [3:21:05] couldn’t take pictures. You didn’t have, you know, we didn’t have smartphones, but you would [3:21:06] You didn’t have, you know, we didn’t have smartphones, but you would be able to take. [3:21:09] have, you know, we didn’t have smartphones, but you would be able to take. Photos or, and write the [3:21:10] smartphones, but you would be able to take. Photos or, and write the report up and send it [3:21:12] be able to take. Photos or, and write the report up and send it through the administration for [3:21:13] Photos or, and write the report up and send it through the administration for a follow-up. So that’s [3:21:13] report up and send it through the administration for a follow-up. So that’s something we [3:21:15] through the administration for a follow-up. So that’s something we can get back to doing. [3:21:16] a follow-up. So that’s something we can get back to doing. And [3:21:16] something we can get back to doing. And when I first ran for council [3:21:16] can get back to doing. And when I first ran for council 20 years ago, ironically, [3:21:18] And when I first ran for council 20 years ago, ironically, in 2006. [3:21:23] Looking into the cold quality [3:21:23] Looking into the cold quality life thing. I went to [3:21:25] Looking into the cold quality life thing. I went to Pasa and they say, let me see [3:21:25] Looking into the cold quality life thing. I went to Pasa and they say, let me see what they’re doing. [3:21:26] life thing. I went to Pasa and they say, let me see what they’re doing. So I, I met with them. [3:21:26] Pasa and they say, let me see what they’re doing. So I, I met with them. And in Pasa at the time when I [3:21:27] what they’re doing. So I, I met with them. And in Pasa at the time when I went to [3:21:28] So I, I met with them. And in Pasa at the time when I went to city hall, [3:21:29] And in Pasa at the time when I went to city hall, they explained to me three [3:21:29] went to city hall, they explained to me three nights a week. [3:21:37] That the fire inspector, the [3:21:38] That the fire inspector, the housing inspector zoning, [3:21:38] That the fire inspector, the housing inspector zoning, like three, [3:21:41] That the fire inspector, the housing inspector zoning, like three, four different people from [3:21:41] housing inspector zoning, like three, four different people from each department would go [3:21:42] like three, four different people from each department would go out, you [3:21:44] four different people from each department would go out, you know, [3:21:44] each department would go out, you know, four hours a night. And [3:21:44] out, you know, four hours a night. And obviously it’s easier to find [3:21:46] know, four hours a night. And obviously it’s easier to find illegal housings or units [3:21:47] four hours a night. And obviously it’s easier to find illegal housings or units at night. [3:21:51] With addicts and basements and [3:21:52] With addicts and basements and lights and everything. And they [3:21:53] With addicts and basements and lights and everything. And they would go out a few nights a [3:21:54] With addicts and basements and lights and everything. And they would go out a few nights a week. And then [3:21:55] lights and everything. And they would go out a few nights a week. And then during the day there they, or [3:21:55] would go out a few nights a week. And then during the day there they, or others would process what [3:21:57] week. And then during the day there they, or others would process what they found. [3:21:58] during the day there they, or others would process what they found. And send the complaints. So. [3:21:58] others would process what they found. And send the complaints. So. There is mechanisms. If [3:21:59] they found. And send the complaints. So. There is mechanisms. If something has changed. [3:22:01] And send the complaints. So. There is mechanisms. If something has changed. Mary said with the law that [3:22:02] There is mechanisms. If something has changed. Mary said with the law that you can get in. [3:22:09] Even, I I’ll wait for that [3:22:09] Even, I I’ll wait for that report cuz unless something [3:22:12] Even, I I’ll wait for that report cuz unless something changes with the law once [3:22:12] Even, I I’ll wait for that report cuz unless something changes with the law once you’re out, you’re out. So [3:22:14] report cuz unless something changes with the law once you’re out, you’re out. So those are things we could. [3:22:14] changes with the law once you’re out, you’re out. So those are things we could. Do mayor through my colleagues [3:22:15] you’re out, you’re out. So those are things we could. Do mayor through my colleagues with the administration to try [3:22:18] those are things we could. Do mayor through my colleagues with the administration to try to get. [3:22:22] Emergency services to start to [3:22:23] Emergency services to start to do again, that would help [3:22:25] Emergency services to start to do again, that would help resolve that problem. You and [3:22:25] Emergency services to start to do again, that would help resolve that problem. You and Councilman, you, you, you did [3:22:27] do again, that would help resolve that problem. You and Councilman, you, you, you did have mentioned that and there [3:22:28] resolve that problem. You and Councilman, you, you, you did have mentioned that and there was that program. [3:22:31] Councilman, you, you, you did have mentioned that and there was that program. That seemed to have [3:22:31] have mentioned that and there was that program. That seemed to have disappeared or diminished in [3:22:32] was that program. That seemed to have disappeared or diminished in some respect. [3:22:33] That seemed to have disappeared or diminished in some respect. So we are bringing that, that [3:22:34] disappeared or diminished in some respect. So we are bringing that, that form back. It’s actually [3:22:36] some respect. So we are bringing that, that form back. It’s actually a hard copy form. That’s how. [3:22:37] So we are bringing that, that form back. It’s actually a hard copy form. That’s how. Kind of old, it was. And we [3:22:38] form back. It’s actually a hard copy form. That’s how. Kind of old, it was. And we were trying to [3:22:39] a hard copy form. That’s how. Kind of old, it was. And we were trying to tie that in from inspections [3:22:39] Kind of old, it was. And we were trying to tie that in from inspections to the department of code. [3:22:41] were trying to tie that in from inspections to the department of code. But yes, we were. Suggestion [3:22:42] tie that in from inspections to the department of code. But yes, we were. Suggestion was not lost. [3:22:47] That, that that program is [3:22:48] That, that that program is trying to be, we’re gonna [3:22:50] That, that that program is trying to be, we’re gonna resurrect it and try to in [3:22:51] That, that that program is trying to be, we’re gonna resurrect it and try to in and reactivate. [3:22:53] trying to be, we’re gonna resurrect it and try to in and reactivate. Reactive it mayor through you. [3:22:53] resurrect it and try to in and reactivate. Reactive it mayor through you. That’s great. You know what? [3:22:54] and reactivate. Reactive it mayor through you. That’s great. You know what? It’s the old adage. [3:22:55] Reactive it mayor through you. That’s great. You know what? It’s the old adage. The right hand, doesn’t talk [3:22:55] That’s great. You know what? It’s the old adage. The right hand, doesn’t talk to the left hand. [3:22:57] It’s the old adage. The right hand, doesn’t talk to the left hand. And that’s what it was. We [3:22:58] The right hand, doesn’t talk to the left hand. And that’s what it was. We were there, as you [3:22:59] to the left hand. And that’s what it was. We were there, as you said, [3:23:06] and I know I’ve some [3:23:06] and I know I’ve some firefighters have told me that [3:23:09] and I know I’ve some firefighters have told me that they’ve gone in. They’ve seen, [3:23:09] and I know I’ve some firefighters have told me that they’ve gone in. They’ve seen, you know, locks on bedroom [3:23:11] firefighters have told me that they’ve gone in. They’ve seen, you know, locks on bedroom doors, indifference. [3:23:12] they’ve gone in. They’ve seen, you know, locks on bedroom doors, indifference. And we need that [3:23:12] you know, locks on bedroom doors, indifference. And we need that communication. So this is [3:23:13] doors, indifference. And we need that communication. So this is a great [3:23:14] And we need that communication. So this is a great idea, Tony. Thank you. [3:23:16] communication. So this is a great idea, Tony. Thank you. Because we need to do that. It [3:23:17] a great idea, Tony. Thank you. Because we need to do that. It is a huge [3:23:18] idea, Tony. Thank you. Because we need to do that. It is a huge problem in any step we can take. [3:23:25] To solve it is a step in the [3:23:25] To solve it is a step in the right direction. [3:23:27] To solve it is a step in the right direction. So again, I look forward to [3:23:27] To solve it is a step in the right direction. So again, I look forward to also the, the new, [3:23:29] right direction. So again, I look forward to also the, the new, the new law, which I don’t. [3:23:30] So again, I look forward to also the, the new, the new law, which I don’t. I’m sorry. I didn’t.

Is there a legal [3:23:55] issue. Is there a legal housing as code is illegal [3:23:56] issue. Is there a legal housing as code is illegal housing. [3:23:56] issue. Is there a legal housing as code is illegal housing. As fo of a fire. So each one [3:23:57] housing as code is illegal housing. As fo of a fire. So each one will be. [3:24:02] You know, definitionally, I [3:24:02] You know, definitionally, I guess you would have to ask [3:24:04] You know, definitionally, I guess you would have to ask which, which problem would [3:24:05] You know, definitionally, I guess you would have to ask which, which problem would it be? [3:24:07] guess you would have to ask which, which problem would it be? So zoning does zoning. Fire [3:24:07] which, which problem would it be? So zoning does zoning. Fire does fire and code does [3:24:10] it be? So zoning does zoning. Fire does fire and code does quality of life issues. [3:24:15] Issues. So, cuz I’m trying to [3:24:16] Issues. So, cuz I’m trying to understand this a little [3:24:18] Issues. So, cuz I’m trying to understand this a little better. If I call up and say, [3:24:18] Issues. So, cuz I’m trying to understand this a little better. If I call up and say, Hey, I know [3:24:19] understand this a little better. If I call up and say, Hey, I know that there’s an illegal [3:24:20] better. If I call up and say, Hey, I know that there’s an illegal apartment basement apartment [3:24:20] Hey, I know that there’s an illegal apartment basement apartment in my. [3:24:22] that there’s an illegal apartment basement apartment in my. Neighborhood. And I give you [3:24:22] apartment basement apartment in my. Neighborhood. And I give you an address. Who, who does [3:24:24] in my. Neighborhood. And I give you an address. Who, who does that go to? Does it go to all [3:24:25] Neighborhood. And I give you an address. Who, who does that go to? Does it go to all three departments? [3:24:29] an address. Who, who does that go to? Does it go to all three departments? That particular question would [3:24:30] that go to? Does it go to all three departments? That particular question would probably go to zoning and start [3:24:31] three departments? That particular question would probably go to zoning and start to be vetted as far as what [3:24:32] That particular question would probably go to zoning and start to be vetted as far as what the actual complaint [3:24:34] probably go to zoning and start to be vetted as far as what the actual complaint is. [3:24:37] to be vetted as far as what the actual complaint is. If there’s a supporting [3:24:38] the actual complaint is. If there’s a supporting documents to it, was it a, [3:24:39] is. If there’s a supporting documents to it, was it a, a reactive call? Was there a [3:24:40] If there’s a supporting documents to it, was it a, a reactive call? Was there a proactive call? You know, [3:24:41] documents to it, was it a, a reactive call? Was there a proactive call? You know, once the caller becomes [3:24:42] a reactive call? Was there a proactive call? You know, once the caller becomes a witness. [3:24:42] proactive call? You know, once the caller becomes a witness. You know, that is then gleaned. [3:24:48] From the intake and zoning, [3:24:48] From the intake and zoning, and then it’ll be, then [3:24:51] From the intake and zoning, and then it’ll be, then it’ll be wheeled to the [3:24:52] From the intake and zoning, and then it’ll be, then it’ll be wheeled to the proper department. [3:24:54] and then it’ll be, then it’ll be wheeled to the proper department. So then if I understand it [3:24:55] it’ll be wheeled to the proper department. So then if I understand it correctly, I wind up [3:24:56] proper department. So then if I understand it correctly, I wind up calling in this illegal [3:24:56] So then if I understand it correctly, I wind up calling in this illegal basement apartment. [3:25:02] That would go to the zoning [3:25:02] That would go to the zoning department and then someone [3:25:03] That would go to the zoning department and then someone from the zoning department [3:25:04] That would go to the zoning department and then someone from the zoning department would go out and, and take [3:25:06] department and then someone from the zoning department would go out and, and take a look at the. [3:25:10] from the zoning department would go out and, and take a look at the. Situation what the actual [3:25:11] would go out and, and take a look at the. Situation what the actual procedure is. Is I, again, I [3:25:13] a look at the. Situation what the actual procedure is. Is I, again, I don’t want to give an off the [3:25:14] Situation what the actual procedure is. Is I, again, I don’t want to give an off the hip answer, but [3:25:15] procedure is. Is I, again, I don’t want to give an off the hip answer, but they would start with that [3:25:16] don’t want to give an off the hip answer, but they would start with that particular depart. [3:25:17] hip answer, but they would start with that particular depart. Department, and then it would [3:25:17] they would start with that particular depart. Department, and then it would be vetted and. [3:25:18] particular depart. Department, and then it would be vetted and. And memorialized and it would [3:25:19] Department, and then it would be vetted and. And memorialized and it would go through the process. [3:25:25] All right, because I, I think, [3:25:26] All right, because I, I think, and I can appreciate [3:25:27] All right, because I, I think, and I can appreciate the conversation we’re having. [3:25:28] All right, because I, I think, and I can appreciate the conversation we’re having. I, I agree with [3:25:28] and I can appreciate the conversation we’re having. I, I agree with the conversation [3:25:29] the conversation we’re having. I, I agree with the conversation that we’re having, but I also [3:25:30] I, I agree with the conversation that we’re having, but I also think that part of [3:25:31] the conversation that we’re having, but I also think that part of the. [3:25:31] that we’re having, but I also think that part of the. Issue is, I don’t know how [3:25:31] think that part of the. Issue is, I don’t know how many residential properties do [3:25:33] the. Issue is, I don’t know how many residential properties do we have? Like 24,000. [3:25:34] Issue is, I don’t know how many residential properties do we have? Like 24,000. Right. And how, how many [3:25:35] many residential properties do we have? Like 24,000. Right. And how, how many zoning officers do we have? [3:25:37] we have? Like 24,000. Right. And how, how many zoning officers do we have? To go and actually go and [3:25:38] Right. And how, how many zoning officers do we have? To go and actually go and check these complaints. [3:25:40] zoning officers do we have? To go and actually go and check these complaints. Complaints. And I think that [3:25:40] To go and actually go and check these complaints. Complaints. And I think that that is a large part [3:25:41] check these complaints. Complaints. And I think that that is a large part of our issue. [3:25:48] And so now we’re talking about [3:25:49] And so now we’re talking about expanding the program where [3:25:50] And so now we’re talking about expanding the program where we’ve got people that are [3:25:50] And so now we’re talking about expanding the program where we’ve got people that are gonna go out at night [3:25:51] expanding the program where we’ve got people that are gonna go out at night and they’re gonna hand it off [3:25:51] we’ve got people that are gonna go out at night and they’re gonna hand it off to people that are [3:25:52] gonna go out at night and they’re gonna hand it off to people that are gonna go out during the day. [3:25:52] and they’re gonna hand it off to people that are gonna go out during the day. But I think right [3:25:53] to people that are gonna go out during the day. But I think right now, all we have. [3:25:53] gonna go out during the day. But I think right now, all we have. Is people who can go out [3:25:54] But I think right now, all we have. Is people who can go out during the day or. [3:25:55] now, all we have. Is people who can go out during the day or. They’re gonna go out at night [3:25:55] Is people who can go out during the day or. They’re gonna go out at night and then they’re not [3:25:56] during the day or. They’re gonna go out at night and then they’re not gonna come in as comp time. [3:26:01] You know the following day. [3:26:01] You know the following day. And so I don’t think [3:26:02] You know the following day. And so I don’t think that we have the [3:26:02] You know the following day. And so I don’t think that we have the infrastructure in place from [3:26:03] And so I don’t think that we have the infrastructure in place from a personnel [3:26:04] that we have the infrastructure in place from a personnel perspective. [3:26:04] infrastructure in place from a personnel perspective. To really be effective [3:26:05] a personnel perspective. To really be effective with this. [3:26:07] perspective. To really be effective with this. And ultimately I think that, [3:26:08] To really be effective with this. And ultimately I think that, you know, we’re gonna need [3:26:09] with this. And ultimately I think that, you know, we’re gonna need to invest. [3:26:12] And ultimately I think that, you know, we’re gonna need to invest. In personnel in order to [3:26:13] you know, we’re gonna need to invest. In personnel in order to achieve the goals that we’re [3:26:14] to invest. In personnel in order to achieve the goals that we’re talking about on this day is. [3:26:15] In personnel in order to achieve the goals that we’re talking about on this day is. Because without it, it’s just [3:26:16] achieve the goals that we’re talking about on this day is. Because without it, it’s just lip service. [3:26:20] If, if we’ve got four people [3:26:21] If, if we’ve got four people that have to cover [3:26:22] If, if we’ve got four people that have to cover 11.3 square miles and 24,000. [3:26:27] You know, properties to which [3:26:28] You know, properties to which they get a thousand calls [3:26:29] You know, properties to which they get a thousand calls in, how long’s it gonna take [3:26:30] You know, properties to which they get a thousand calls in, how long’s it gonna take before they get to [3:26:31] they get a thousand calls in, how long’s it gonna take before they get to that thousandth call? [3:26:31] in, how long’s it gonna take before they get to that thousandth call? And I think that that is the [3:26:32] before they get to that thousandth call? And I think that that is the real issue that. [3:26:33] that thousandth call? And I think that that is the real issue that. While these are all great ideas. [3:26:40] Ideas. It it’s almost all talk [3:26:40] Ideas. It it’s almost all talk and no action. And [3:26:43] Ideas. It it’s almost all talk and no action. And if we don’t put into place the [3:26:43] Ideas. It it’s almost all talk and no action. And if we don’t put into place the tools that we [3:26:44] and no action. And if we don’t put into place the tools that we need to implement. [3:26:44] if we don’t put into place the tools that we need to implement. The program then, then we’re [3:26:45] tools that we need to implement. The program then, then we’re setting ourselves up [3:26:45] need to implement. The program then, then we’re setting ourselves up for failure. [3:26:49] The program then, then we’re setting ourselves up for failure. And again, I, I appreciate the [3:26:49] setting ourselves up for failure. And again, I, I appreciate the insight. I don’t know [3:26:51] for failure. And again, I, I appreciate the insight. I don’t know if it’s the numbers that you’re. [3:26:52] And again, I, I appreciate the insight. I don’t know if it’s the numbers that you’re. Or rating or rhetorical. [3:26:54] insight. I don’t know if it’s the numbers that you’re. Or rating or rhetorical. I don’t know if we have any [3:26:55] if it’s the numbers that you’re. Or rating or rhetorical. I don’t know if we have any stacked calls. [3:26:58] Or rating or rhetorical. I don’t know if we have any stacked calls. That are a thousands of calls [3:26:59] I don’t know if we have any stacked calls. That are a thousands of calls coming in that are [3:27:01] stacked calls. That are a thousands of calls coming in that are not being addressed. [3:27:03] That are a thousands of calls coming in that are not being addressed. There is the, there is a [3:27:03] coming in that are not being addressed. There is the, there is a procedure internally and we [3:27:06] not being addressed. There is the, there is a procedure internally and we are. [3:27:06] There is the, there is a procedure internally and we are. Tightening that up relative [3:27:06] procedure internally and we are. Tightening that up relative to the. [3:27:12] Three or four different [3:27:12] Three or four different entities that do inspections. [3:27:13] Three or four different entities that do inspections. So inspections [3:27:15] Three or four different entities that do inspections. So inspections are done by zoning. [3:27:20] Construction fire and quality [3:27:21] Construction fire and quality of life at this point. And [3:27:23] Construction fire and quality of life at this point. And we are developing an SOP for [3:27:23] Construction fire and quality of life at this point. And we are developing an SOP for those to speak, including [3:27:26] of life at this point. And we are developing an SOP for those to speak, including the, the. [3:27:26] we are developing an SOP for those to speak, including the, the. The, the internal referral. If [3:27:27] those to speak, including the, the. The, the internal referral. If somebody sees something. [3:27:30] the, the. The, the internal referral. If somebody sees something. But, you know, as the, as [3:27:31] The, the internal referral. If somebody sees something. But, you know, as the, as the program, [3:27:33] somebody sees something. But, you know, as the, as the program, go goes. And if there’s an [3:27:33] But, you know, as the, as the program, go goes. And if there’s an necessity for me to [3:27:36] the program, go goes. And if there’s an necessity for me to add staff, [3:27:37] go goes. And if there’s an necessity for me to add staff, you’ll see it on the, on my [3:27:37] necessity for me to add staff, you’ll see it on the, on my communications through [3:27:38] add staff, you’ll see it on the, on my communications through personnel. [3:27:40] you’ll see it on the, on my communications through personnel. But at this point, [3:27:43] communications through personnel. But at this point, we are, we are very successful [3:27:43] personnel. But at this point, we are, we are very successful in the quality of [3:27:45] But at this point, we are, we are very successful in the quality of life. [3:27:47] we are, we are very successful in the quality of life. In the cleaning leans and [3:27:47] in the quality of life. In the cleaning leans and getting the information. [3:27:49] life.

[3:39:49] on the agenda and we lost. $900,000 grant for surgeon, field, ladies and gentlemen. Do you hear what I just said, [3:39:50] $900,000 grant for surgeon, field, ladies and gentlemen. Do you hear what I just said, everyone. And you’re [3:39:51] field, ladies and gentlemen. Do you hear what I just said, everyone. And you’re going to hear me say it all [3:39:51] Do you hear what I just said, everyone. And you’re going to hear me say it all the time. [3:39:54] everyone. And you’re going to hear me say it all the time. When you bring in the right [3:39:55] going to hear me say it all the time. When you bring in the right people, you bring in [3:39:55] the time. When you bring in the right people, you bring in subject matter experts. When [3:39:56] When you bring in the right people, you bring in subject matter experts. When you hold people accountable. [3:39:57] people, you bring in subject matter experts. When you hold people accountable. You get results. So [3:40:04] the new people we brought in [3:40:05] the new people we brought in between the administration, the [3:40:07] the new people we brought in between the administration, the engineering firm, the [3:40:07] the new people we brought in between the administration, the engineering firm, the departments working with them, [3:40:08] between the administration, the engineering firm, the departments working with them, the grant writers. [3:40:13] Again, millions more at a [3:40:13] Again, millions more at a lower cost and found a [3:40:16] Again, millions more at a lower cost and found a lot of the money. And the [3:40:17] Again, millions more at a lower cost and found a lot of the money. And the other thing to add [3:40:19] lower cost and found a lot of the money. And the other thing to add to that is. [3:40:19] lot of the money. And the other thing to add to that is. The old grant writer. [3:40:20] other thing to add to that is. The old grant writer. Never applied for these [3:40:20] to that is. The old grant writer. Never applied for these grants that. [3:40:26] Were asked over and over these [3:40:27] Were asked over and over these PSE and G grants [3:40:28] Were asked over and over these PSE and G grants were getting, and all these [3:40:29] Were asked over and over these PSE and G grants were getting, and all these grants, these FEMA, all these [3:40:30] PSE and G grants were getting, and all these grants, these FEMA, all these ones we’re applying for. They [3:40:31] were getting, and all these grants, these FEMA, all these ones we’re applying for. They never even applied for ’em. [3:40:32] grants, these FEMA, all these ones we’re applying for. They never even applied for ’em. So I will put that record for [3:40:33] ones we’re applying for. They never even applied for ’em. So I will put that record for my colleague up. [3:40:34] never even applied for ’em. So I will put that record for my colleague up. Any time you want on where we [3:40:34] So I will put that record for my colleague up. Any time you want on where we were and where [3:40:36] my colleague up. Any time you want on where we were and where we are. [3:40:36] Any time you want on where we were and where we are. So when we talk about getting [3:40:37] were and where we are. So when we talk about getting and balancing a budget, [3:40:44] and I always hear from my [3:40:44] and I always hear from my colleague about you can’t [3:40:46] and I always hear from my colleague about you can’t pay for everything in grants [3:40:47] and I always hear from my colleague about you can’t pay for everything in grants and he’s absolutely right, but [3:40:49] colleague about you can’t pay for everything in grants and he’s absolutely right, but you’ve heard me say before. [3:40:49] pay for everything in grants and he’s absolutely right, but you’ve heard me say before. If we use things that we can [3:40:50] and he’s absolutely right, but you’ve heard me say before. If we use things that we can pay for grants. [3:40:52] you’ve heard me say before. If we use things that we can pay for grants. Grants then one, we don’t have [3:40:52] If we use things that we can pay for grants. Grants then one, we don’t have to increase taxes so [3:40:54] pay for grants. Grants then one, we don’t have to increase taxes so much. [3:40:57] Grants then one, we don’t have to increase taxes so much. Or two, those millions of [3:40:58] to increase taxes so much. Or two, those millions of dollars that we can use [3:40:59] much. Or two, those millions of dollars that we can use doing stuff for [3:41:00] Or two, those millions of dollars that we can use doing stuff for infrastructure, for grants. [3:41:04] dollars that we can use doing stuff for infrastructure, for grants. Grants then we have those [3:41:05] doing stuff for infrastructure, for grants. Grants then we have those other millions of dollars to [3:41:06] infrastructure, for grants. Grants then we have those other millions of dollars to do the things that we can’t do [3:41:06] Grants then we have those other millions of dollars to do the things that we can’t do in grants. Like [3:41:07] other millions of dollars to do the things that we can’t do in grants. Like we didn’t repave roads [3:41:08] do the things that we can’t do in grants. Like we didn’t repave roads prime example. [3:41:13] It’s $3 million at the library [3:41:13] It’s $3 million at the library we spent last year, upgrading [3:41:15] It’s $3 million at the library we spent last year, upgrading the HVAC unit and the lighting [3:41:16] It’s $3 million at the library we spent last year, upgrading the HVAC unit and the lighting that could have been [3:41:17] we spent last year, upgrading the HVAC unit and the lighting that could have been a grant. So that would’ve been [3:41:18] the HVAC unit and the lighting that could have been a grant. So that would’ve been 3 million. [3:41:19] that could have been a grant. So that would’ve been 3 million. If the old administration and [3:41:19] a grant. So that would’ve been 3 million. If the old administration and grant writers listened. [3:41:24] When it was brought to their [3:41:25] When it was brought to their attention, if we would’ve [3:41:26] When it was brought to their attention, if we would’ve applied for those grants, [3:41:26] When it was brought to their attention, if we would’ve applied for those grants, those FEMA grants and those PSE [3:41:28] attention, if we would’ve applied for those grants, those FEMA grants and those PSE new grants for that one, [3:41:29] applied for those grants, those FEMA grants and those PSE new grants for that one, that’s $3 million. [3:41:30] those FEMA grants and those PSE new grants for that one, that’s $3 million. That either a, we wouldn’t [3:41:31] new grants for that one, that’s $3 million. That either a, we wouldn’t have had a. [3:41:32] that’s $3 million. That either a, we wouldn’t have had a. Bond and pay interest on over [3:41:32] That either a, we wouldn’t have had a. Bond and pay interest on over 30 years or B, [3:41:34] have had a. Bond and pay interest on over 30 years or B, we could have bonded that [3:41:35] Bond and pay interest on over 30 years or B, we could have bonded that 3 million. [3:41:37] 30 years or B, we could have bonded that 3 million. And when people like to [3:41:38] we could have bonded that 3 million. And when people like to complain, we weren’t able to [3:41:38] 3 million. And when people like to complain, we weren’t able to pave our roads or we, you [3:41:39] And when people like to complain, we weren’t able to pave our roads or we, you know, cuz we didn’t [3:41:40] complain, we weren’t able to pave our roads or we, you know, cuz we didn’t have money in the budget. [3:41:41] pave our roads or we, you know, cuz we didn’t have money in the budget. There is a prime example. Why? [3:41:42] know, cuz we didn’t have money in the budget. There is a prime example. Why? So it’s getting better. [3:41:45] have money in the budget. There is a prime example. Why? So it’s getting better. We’re getting there for the [3:41:46] There is a prime example. Why? So it’s getting better. We’re getting there for the public and everyone watching. [3:41:48] So it’s getting better. We’re getting there for the public and everyone watching. And I said it already. I think. [3:41:57] Now that the foundation’s been [3:41:57] Now that the foundation’s been cleaned up and we with [3:41:59] Now that the foundation’s been cleaned up and we with the grant writers and we [3:42:00] Now that the foundation’s been cleaned up and we with the grant writers and we actually have a, a list [3:42:01] cleaned up and we with the grant writers and we actually have a, a list of all of our grants and we’re [3:42:02] the grant writers and we actually have a, a list of all of our grants and we’re following up on [3:42:03] actually have a, a list of all of our grants and we’re following up on ’em. [3:42:03] of all of our grants and we’re following up on ’em. To my colleagues and knows [3:42:03] following up on ’em. To my colleagues and knows watching at home. [3:42:04] ’em. To my colleagues and knows watching at home. Next year, you’re gonna see [3:42:04] To my colleagues and knows watching at home. Next year, you’re gonna see the grants. [3:42:09] Grants go up like steroids and [3:42:10] Grants go up like steroids and just explode in millions [3:42:12] Grants go up like steroids and just explode in millions and millions of dollars more. [3:42:13] Grants go up like steroids and just explode in millions and millions of dollars more. So thank you to the [3:42:14] just explode in millions and millions of dollars more. So thank you to the administration. [3:42:14] and millions of dollars more. So thank you to the administration. The grant writers, engineering [3:42:15] So thank you to the administration. The grant writers, engineering firms and all the [3:42:15] administration. The grant writers, engineering firms and all the different departments. [3:42:17] The grant writers, engineering firms and all the different departments. Police fire D P w health [3:42:18] firms and all the different departments. Police fire D P w health department rec [3:42:18] different departments. Police fire D P w health department rec department, everyone [3:42:20] Police fire D P w health department rec department, everyone who has worked. [3:42:26] With them to move these grants [3:42:27] With them to move these grants forward. That’s it mayor [3:42:28] With them to move these grants forward. That’s it mayor any other? Yes. Yeah. Mayor. I [3:42:29] With them to move these grants forward. That’s it mayor any other? Yes. Yeah. Mayor. I just wanna comment on [3:42:30] forward. That’s it mayor any other? Yes. Yeah. Mayor. I just wanna comment on that because I don’t want to [3:42:31] any other? Yes. Yeah. Mayor. I just wanna comment on that because I don’t want to accidentally mislead. [3:42:34] just wanna comment on that because I don’t want to accidentally mislead. The public. Right. You know, [3:42:35] that because I don’t want to accidentally mislead. The public. Right. You know, we got a grant Roger [3:42:36] accidentally mislead. The public. Right. You know, we got a grant Roger that came in and, and we all [3:42:36] The public. Right. You know, we got a grant Roger that came in and, and we all patted ourselves on [3:42:38] we got a grant Roger that came in and, and we all patted ourselves on the back about a $5 million [3:42:38] that came in and, and we all patted ourselves on the back about a $5 million grant for a parking garage. [3:42:40] patted ourselves on the back about a $5 million grant for a parking garage. And what a great job. [3:42:42] the back about a $5 million grant for a parking garage. And what a great job. We’re doing in Woohoo. And [3:42:42] grant for a parking garage. And what a great job. We’re doing in Woohoo. And then they come in and [3:42:43] And what a great job. We’re doing in Woohoo. And then they come in and make this presentation to us. [3:42:44] We’re doing in Woohoo. And then they come in and make this presentation to us. And then they said, oh [3:42:45] then they come in and make this presentation to us. And then they said, oh yeah, by the way, we applied [3:42:45] make this presentation to us. And then they said, oh yeah, by the way, we applied for 5 million. [3:42:46] And then they said, oh yeah, by the way, we applied for 5 million. Dollars. And right now it made [3:42:47] yeah, by the way, we applied for 5 million. Dollars. And right now it made it through Congress, the [3:42:48] for 5 million. Dollars. And right now it made it through Congress, the house side. [3:42:48] Dollars. And right now it made it through Congress, the house side. For 1.8 million. So, you know, [3:42:51] it through Congress, the house side. For 1.8 million. So, you know, millions and millions. All of [3:42:52] house side. For 1.8 million. So, you know, millions and millions. All of a sudden went from 5 million [3:42:53] For 1.8 million. So, you know, millions and millions. All of a sudden went from 5 million to 1.8 million. [3:43:00] And it’s still gotta make it [3:43:00] And it’s still gotta make it through the Senate. So, [3:43:01] And it’s still gotta make it through the Senate. So, I mean, conceivably, we can [3:43:02] And it’s still gotta make it through the Senate. So, I mean, conceivably, we can wind up with $0. So [3:43:05] through the Senate. So, I mean, conceivably, we can wind up with $0. So I don’t think it it’s helpful [3:43:05] I mean, conceivably, we can wind up with $0. So I don’t think it it’s helpful to the public. [3:43:06] wind up with $0. So I don’t think it it’s helpful to the public. To, to kind of imply to them. [3:43:07] I don’t think it it’s helpful to the public. To, to kind of imply to them. That we bought the winning [3:43:08] to the public. To, to kind of imply to them. That we bought the winning lottery ticket. [3:43:08] To, to kind of imply to them. That we bought the winning lottery ticket. You know, particularly in, in [3:43:09] That we bought the winning lottery ticket. You know, particularly in, in New Jersey. [3:43:10] lottery ticket. You know, particularly in, in New Jersey. Municipal government where [3:43:11] You know, particularly in, in New Jersey. Municipal government where it’s a cash basis. [3:43:13] New Jersey. Municipal government where it’s a cash basis. Accounting. [3:43:21] So, yes, it’s great that we’re [3:43:22] So, yes, it’s great that we’re applying for grants and [3:43:25] So, yes, it’s great that we’re applying for grants and listen, $1.8 million in a [3:43:25] So, yes, it’s great that we’re applying for grants and listen, $1.8 million in a grant would be fantastic. [3:43:26] applying for grants and listen, $1.8 million in a grant would be fantastic. Don’t get [3:43:28] listen, $1.8 million in a grant would be fantastic. Don’t get me wrong. [3:43:28] grant would be fantastic. Don’t get me wrong. But to, to kind of imply that, [3:43:28] Don’t get me wrong. But to, to kind of imply that, you know, [3:43:29] me wrong. But to, to kind of imply that, you know, we had a group in here saying, [3:43:30] But to, to kind of imply that, you know, we had a group in here saying, yeah, we applied [3:43:30] you know, we had a group in here saying, yeah, we applied for a 5 million grant. What a [3:43:31] we had a group in here saying, yeah, we applied for a 5 million grant. What a great job we did. [3:43:37] That then turned into 1.8 [3:43:37] That then turned into 1.8 million and hasn’t even made it [3:43:39] That then turned into 1.8 million and hasn’t even made it to the Senate yet. And can [3:43:40] That then turned into 1.8 million and hasn’t even made it to the Senate yet. And can conceivably end up being [3:43:41] million and hasn’t even made it to the Senate yet. And can conceivably end up being zero. I don’t think we should [3:43:42] to the Senate yet. And can conceivably end up being zero. I don’t think we should make promises to. [3:43:43] conceivably end up being zero. I don’t think we should make promises to. The public that we may not [3:43:44] zero. I don’t think we should make promises to. The public that we may not necessarily be able to [3:43:45] make promises to. The public that we may not necessarily be able to keep. [3:43:47] The public that we may not necessarily be able to keep. To my colleague, we never [3:43:47] necessarily be able to keep. To my colleague, we never applied for those [3:43:48] keep. To my colleague, we never applied for those grants before. [3:43:49] To my colleague, we never applied for those grants before. So even if we only get [3:43:50] applied for those grants before. So even if we only get 1.8 million. [3:43:51] grants before. So even if we only get 1.8 million. You, we could have been [3:43:51] So even if we only get 1.8 million. You, we could have been applying for 5 million a year. [3:43:53] 1.8 million. You, we could have been applying for 5 million a year. For decades and we never [3:43:54] You, we could have been applying for 5 million a year. For decades and we never even applied. [3:43:56] applying for 5 million a year. For decades and we never even applied. We never even applied. [3:43:59] For decades and we never even applied. We never even applied. So I’m gonna do my best, cuz it. [3:44:04] Gets me mad on how many things [3:44:05] Gets me mad on how many things we weren’t able [3:44:06] Gets me mad on how many things we weren’t able to do in this town over [3:44:07] Gets me mad on how many things we weren’t able to do in this town over the years. [3:44:10] we weren’t able to do in this town over the years. But you can apply for those 5 [3:44:10] to do in this town over the years. But you can apply for those 5 million grants every single [3:44:12] the years. But you can apply for those 5 million grants every single year. And that doesn’t include. [3:44:18] The iBank grants and the Ida [3:44:19] The iBank grants and the Ida grants and the FEMA [3:44:20] The iBank grants and the Ida grants and the FEMA grants and the N J E D a [3:44:21] The iBank grants and the Ida grants and the FEMA grants and the N J E D a economic development [3:44:23] grants and the FEMA grants and the N J E D a economic development grants that we’ve been working [3:44:24] grants and the N J E D a economic development grants that we’ve been working with the county. [3:44:27] economic development grants that we’ve been working with the county. For, for those of us who [3:44:27] grants that we’ve been working with the county. For, for those of us who walked the streets and [3:44:29] with the county. For, for those of us who walked the streets and bought me, not just election [3:44:30] For, for those of us who walked the streets and bought me, not just election season, but walked the streets [3:44:31] walked the streets and bought me, not just election season, but walked the streets in botany with the E D a and [3:44:32] bought me, not just election season, but walked the streets in botany with the E D a and the botany. [3:44:33] season, but walked the streets in botany with the E D a and the botany. Syd and our assemblywoman. [3:44:34] in botany with the E D a and the botany. Syd and our assemblywoman. And our county officials. [3:44:39] Looking up places to upgrade [3:44:40] Looking up places to upgrade it. So, yeah, you’re right. [3:44:41] Looking up places to upgrade it. So, yeah, you’re right. Folks. We applied for 5 [3:44:42] Looking up places to upgrade it. So, yeah, you’re right. Folks. We applied for 5 million. We only get 1.8 [3:44:42] it. So, yeah, you’re right. Folks. We applied for 5 million. We only get 1.8 million, but [3:44:44] Folks. We applied for 5 million. We only get 1.8 million, but like the lottery, you gotta be [3:44:45] million. We only get 1.8 million, but like the lottery, you gotta be in it to win [3:44:45] million, but like the lottery, you gotta be in it to win it. [3:44:48] like the lottery, you gotta be in it to win it. And we’re in it. And if that’s [3:44:48] in it to win it. And we’re in it. And if that’s what it ends [3:44:50] it. And we’re in it. And if that’s what it ends up being, that’s what ends up [3:44:50] And we’re in it. And if that’s what it ends up being, that’s what ends up being the PSE and [3:44:52] what it ends up being, that’s what ends up being the PSE and G grants direct department. We [3:44:52] up being, that’s what ends up being the PSE and G grants direct department. We would’ve spent hundreds [3:44:53] being the PSE and G grants direct department. We would’ve spent hundreds of thousands [3:44:54] G grants direct department. We would’ve spent hundreds of thousands of. [3:44:54] would’ve spent hundreds of thousands of. Dollars. We just got [3:44:55] of thousands of. Dollars. We just got approved for. [3:44:59] For I’m sorry, the post [3:45:00] For I’m sorry, the post office, my colleagues, [3:45:00] For I’m sorry, the post office, my colleagues, they wanted [3:45:03] For I’m sorry, the post office, my colleagues, they wanted to spend taxpayer money. If [3:45:03] office, my colleagues, they wanted to spend taxpayer money. If you all remember six. [3:45:05] they wanted to spend taxpayer money. If you all remember six. Months ago, my guy wanted just [3:45:05] to spend taxpayer money. If you all remember six. Months ago, my guy wanted just spend taxpayer money to [3:45:07] you all remember six. Months ago, my guy wanted just spend taxpayer money to do those upgrades. And I. [3:45:08] Months ago, my guy wanted just spend taxpayer money to do those upgrades. And I. Time out PSE G grant. We went [3:45:09] spend taxpayer money to do those upgrades. And I. Time out PSE G grant. We went through to loops [3:45:10] do those upgrades. And I. Time out PSE G grant. We went through to loops with the administration. [3:45:11] Time out PSE G grant. We went through to loops with the administration. But we got approved. So now we [3:45:11] through to loops with the administration. But we got approved. So now we didn’t use it. [3:45:16] And now there’s a solar and [3:45:17] And now there’s a solar and electrical upgrades for city [3:45:19] And now there’s a solar and electrical upgrades for city hall, which will be a [3:45:19] And now there’s a solar and electrical upgrades for city hall, which will be a multimillion dollar grant. [3:45:20] electrical upgrades for city hall, which will be a multimillion dollar grant. That again, we never applied [3:45:21] hall, which will be a multimillion dollar grant. That again, we never applied for that. We’re gonna get [3:45:22] multimillion dollar grant. That again, we never applied for that. We’re gonna get next. [3:45:27] And this electricity in here [3:45:27] And this electricity in here eventually will be costing us [3:45:29] And this electricity in here eventually will be costing us nothing because we will have [3:45:29] And this electricity in here eventually will be costing us nothing because we will have the solar garages and panels [3:45:31] eventually will be costing us nothing because we will have the solar garages and panels all over. [3:45:31] nothing because we will have the solar garages and panels all over. City hall and [3:45:32] the solar garages and panels all over. City hall and one third would be paid by [3:45:33] all over. City hall and one third would be paid by the federal. [3:45:34] City hall and one third would be paid by the federal. Grant tax write off. [3:45:38] one third would be paid by the federal. Grant tax write off. Then there’s the Essex grants [3:45:39] the federal. Grant tax write off. Then there’s the Essex grants from the state of New Jersey [3:45:40] Grant tax write off. Then there’s the Essex grants from the state of New Jersey for how much you produce. [3:45:46] And then all the electricity [3:45:46] And then all the electricity we’re gonna be producing. So [3:45:48] And then all the electricity we’re gonna be producing. So after a couple years, we’re [3:45:48] And then all the electricity we’re gonna be producing. So after a couple years, we’re literally gonna be getting free [3:45:50] we’re gonna be producing. So after a couple years, we’re literally gonna be getting free electricity in city hall. [3:45:51] after a couple years, we’re literally gonna be getting free electricity in city hall. Free. So [3:45:51] literally gonna be getting free electricity in city hall. Free. So people. [3:45:56] Watch what we do, not what we [3:45:57] Watch what we do, not what we say, the positivity. [3:45:59] Watch what we do, not what we say, the positivity. Keep moving the city forward. [3:46:00] Watch what we do, not what we say, the positivity. Keep moving the city forward. We’re getting there and that’s [3:46:00] say, the positivity. Keep moving the city forward. We’re getting there and that’s where it is. So. [3:46:07] Any other council mill? [3:46:08] Any other council mill? Actually, no, but that’s [3:46:08] Any other council mill? Actually, no, but that’s an excellent [3:46:09] Any other council mill? Actually, no, but that’s an excellent point, Councilman, because I [3:46:10] Actually, no, but that’s an excellent point, Councilman, because I thought we had discussed [3:46:10] an excellent point, Councilman, because I thought we had discussed that probably [3:46:11] point, Councilman, because I thought we had discussed that probably two months ago when we were [3:46:12] thought we had discussed that probably two months ago when we were gonna get a presentation. [3:46:16] that probably two months ago when we were gonna get a presentation. From the solar company and it [3:46:17] two months ago when we were gonna get a presentation. From the solar company and it hasn’t made it to [3:46:18] gonna get a presentation. From the solar company and it hasn’t made it to the agenda yet. Are we still [3:46:19] From the solar company and it hasn’t made it to the agenda yet. Are we still working on that? Or [3:46:19] hasn’t made it to the agenda yet. Are we still working on that? Or we are still working on that. [3:46:20] the agenda yet. Are we still working on that? Or we are still working on that. And so you’ll see [3:46:22] working on that? Or we are still working on that. And so you’ll see a present. [3:46:22] we are still working on that. And so you’ll see a present. Presentation, two parts [3:46:22] And so you’ll see a present. Presentation, two parts starring the 18th. [3:46:24] a present. Presentation, two parts starring the 18th. And so the first part, and we [3:46:25] Presentation, two parts starring the 18th. And so the first part, and we have the, the [3:46:25] starring the 18th. And so the first part, and we have the, the global parking initiative. [3:46:26] And so the first part, and we have the, the global parking initiative. The the parking garage and. [3:46:32] We have a high-rise parking. [3:46:32] We have a high-rise parking. We have the solar canopies. [3:46:34] We have a high-rise parking. We have the solar canopies. We have the. [3:46:40] EV chargers. We have T H a, [3:46:41] EV chargers. We have T H a, which is the, [3:46:43] EV chargers. We have T H a, which is the, which is the surface parking, [3:46:44] EV chargers. We have T H a, which is the, which is the surface parking, the 800 and some. [3:46:46] which is the, which is the surface parking, the 800 and some. Odd spots. And then we also [3:46:47] which is the surface parking, the 800 and some. Odd spots. And then we also have park park vantage. [3:46:49] the 800 and some. Odd spots. And then we also have park park vantage. Which will be presenting so [3:46:49] Odd spots. And then we also have park park vantage. Which will be presenting so next week’s presentation [3:46:50] have park park vantage. Which will be presenting so next week’s presentation will be. [3:46:56] Two of the three, because they [3:46:56] Two of the three, because they do have a nexus. [3:46:58] Two of the three, because they do have a nexus. So if you’re going to add [3:46:58] Two of the three, because they do have a nexus. So if you’re going to add 800 parking. [3:47:01] do have a nexus. So if you’re going to add 800 parking. Spots in the, in the city [3:47:01] So if you’re going to add 800 parking. Spots in the, in the city lots, then you’re gonna [3:47:03] 800 parking. Spots in the, in the city lots, then you’re gonna need a way to enforce them. [3:47:04] Spots in the, in the city lots, then you’re gonna need a way to enforce them. And so that particular program [3:47:04] lots, then you’re gonna need a way to enforce them. And so that particular program works hand in hand. [3:47:12] With the 800 and some odd [3:47:13] With the 800 and some odd spots that you want [3:47:14] With the 800 and some odd spots that you want to, to, to capitalize on, and [3:47:15] With the 800 and some odd spots that you want to, to, to capitalize on, and then you’ll be able [3:47:17] spots that you want to, to, to capitalize on, and then you’ll be able to have the enforcement end of [3:47:17] to, to, to capitalize on, and then you’ll be able to have the enforcement end of it. So. [3:47:18] then you’ll be able to have the enforcement end of it. So. Yes. So the, the we’ve been [3:47:19] to have the enforcement end of it. So. Yes. So the, the we’ve been getting the, the, the [3:47:21] it. So. Yes. So the, the we’ve been getting the, the, the quotes and we’ve been [3:47:21] Yes. So the, the we’ve been getting the, the, the quotes and we’ve been putting together. [3:47:23] getting the, the, the quotes and we’ve been putting together. How we’re going to digest it [3:47:24] quotes and we’ve been putting together. How we’re going to digest it and how we’re going [3:47:25] putting together. How we’re going to digest it and how we’re going to present it to the council. [3:47:26] How we’re going to digest it and how we’re going to present it to the council. But you’ll see next week. [3:47:29] and how we’re going to present it to the council. But you’ll see next week. The million and some odd dollar. [3:47:32] to present it to the council. But you’ll see next week. The million and some odd dollar. Potential revenues from the [3:47:33] But you’ll see next week. The million and some odd dollar. Potential revenues from the surface parking. [3:47:34] The million and some odd dollar. Potential revenues from the surface parking. In connection with pay vantage. [3:47:42] As part of the, as part of a, [3:47:42] As part of the, as part of a, a bigger [3:47:44] As part of the, as part of a, a bigger presentation. So we were [3:47:44] As part of the, as part of a, a bigger presentation. So we were waiting for pay vantage to. [3:47:47] a bigger presentation. So we were waiting for pay vantage to. Memorialize some additional [3:47:48] presentation. So we were waiting for pay vantage to. Memorialize some additional costs because there was [3:47:49] waiting for pay vantage to. Memorialize some additional costs because there was really no. [3:47:52] Memorialize some additional costs because there was really no. Need to present the proforma [3:47:53] costs because there was really no. Need to present the proforma on the. [3:47:55] really no. Need to present the proforma on the. Surface parking. If we didn’t [3:47:56] Need to present the proforma on the. Surface parking. If we didn’t have a way to. [3:47:57] on the. Surface parking. If we didn’t have a way to. Enforce the, the additional [3:48:02] parking spaces. So, yes. So it [3:48:03] parking spaces. So, yes. So it is, it is a [3:48:04] parking spaces. So, yes. So it is, it is a work in progress and I’m hoping. [3:48:08] parking spaces. So, yes. So it is, it is a work in progress and I’m hoping. That, that parking, which is [3:48:08] is, it is a work in progress and I’m hoping. That, that parking, which is one of the six PS [3:48:10] work in progress and I’m hoping. That, that parking, which is one of the six PS will become part of the, the [3:48:10] That, that parking, which is one of the six PS will become part of the, the revenue sources. [3:48:16] For 2027. And I’m sorry, [3:48:17] For 2027. And I’m sorry, mayor. Just one last point. [3:48:20] For 2027. And I’m sorry, mayor. Just one last point. As I think of the 900,000, we [3:48:20] For 2027. And I’m sorry, mayor. Just one last point. As I think of the 900,000, we lost with surgeon [3:48:21] mayor. Just one last point. As I think of the 900,000, we lost with surgeon field. [3:48:22] As I think of the 900,000, we lost with surgeon field. Last year, we also, the old [3:48:22] lost with surgeon field. Last year, we also, the old city planner. [3:48:26] field. Last year, we also, the old city planner. Didn’t apply for 300,000 [3:48:27] Last year, we also, the old city planner. Didn’t apply for 300,000 150,000 hour year grant for two [3:48:30] city planner. Didn’t apply for 300,000 150,000 hour year grant for two years. That was 300,000 hour [3:48:31] Didn’t apply for 300,000 150,000 hour year grant for two years. That was 300,000 hour chip program. [3:48:35] 150,000 hour year grant for two years. That was 300,000 hour chip program. Grant. And for those who know [3:48:35] years. That was 300,000 hour chip program. Grant. And for those who know what the chip program [3:48:36] chip program. Grant. And for those who know what the chip program is, it’s for home improvement [3:48:36] Grant. And for those who know what the chip program is, it’s for home improvement for our residents. So that [3:48:38] what the chip program is, it’s for home improvement for our residents. So that was another $300,000. It’s [3:48:39] is, it’s for home improvement for our residents. So that was another $300,000. It’s mind boggling it. [3:48:43] It’s mind-boggling what we [3:48:44] It’s mind-boggling what we failed to do and lost in [3:48:46] It’s mind-boggling what we failed to do and lost in the past. So that’s it MI. [3:48:47] It’s mind-boggling what we failed to do and lost in the past. So that’s it MI. Okay, so let’s move [3:48:48] failed to do and lost in the past. So that’s it MI. Okay, so let’s move on mayor. I’m just, I need some. [3:48:51] the past. So that’s it MI. Okay, so let’s move on mayor. I’m just, I need some. Clarification. And I know we [3:48:52] Okay, so let’s move on mayor. I’m just, I need some. Clarification. And I know we keep going back to stump [3:48:53] on mayor. I’m just, I need some. Clarification. And I know we keep going back to stump speeches, but so we’re gonna [3:48:54] Clarification. And I know we keep going back to stump speeches, but so we’re gonna get a presentation on the [3:48:56] keep going back to stump speeches, but so we’re gonna get a presentation on the parking issue at, at our next [3:48:56] speeches, but so we’re gonna get a presentation on the parking issue at, at our next meeting. But. [3:48:58] get a presentation on the parking issue at, at our next meeting. But. The, the solar presentation. [3:48:58] parking issue at, at our next meeting. But. The, the solar presentation. When is that coming? [3:49:02] meeting. But. The, the solar presentation. When is that coming? If I don’t find it too [3:49:03] The, the solar presentation. When is that coming? If I don’t find it too complicated, I will try [3:49:05] When is that coming? If I don’t find it too complicated, I will try to put it on the same agenda [3:49:05] If I don’t find it too complicated, I will try to put it on the same agenda and I just [3:49:07] complicated, I will try to put it on the same agenda and I just have to make. [3:49:08] to put it on the same agenda and I just have to make. Sure that it’s not overwhelming. [3:49:10] and I just have to make. Sure that it’s not overwhelming. And doesn’t complicate it. So [3:49:11] have to make. Sure that it’s not overwhelming. And doesn’t complicate it. So the, so the solar canopies, [3:49:13] Sure that it’s not overwhelming. And doesn’t complicate it. So the, so the solar canopies, which will stretch from. [3:49:14] And doesn’t complicate it. So the, so the solar canopies, which will stretch from. The the back parking lots. [3:49:17] the, so the solar canopies, which will stretch from. The the back parking lots. Lots that proforma is available. [3:49:24] And so it’s like the [3:49:25] And so it’s like the Councilman says, so if you [3:49:26] And so it’s like the Councilman says, so if you have a $500,000 electric bill. [3:49:29] And so it’s like the Councilman says, so if you have a $500,000 electric bill. The, the, the ask was [3:49:29] Councilman says, so if you have a $500,000 electric bill. The, the, the ask was to generate. [3:49:33] $500,000 in savings for the, [3:49:34] $500,000 in savings for the, for the, for the program. [3:49:36] $500,000 in savings for the, for the, for the program. So. [3:49:37] $500,000 in savings for the, for the, for the program. So. What you asked, I’m going to [3:49:37] for the, for the program. So. What you asked, I’m going to see if it fits. [3:49:45] In the 18th program, but I [3:49:46] In the 18th program, but I don’t want it to [3:49:47] In the 18th program, but I don’t want it to become overwhelming. And I, I [3:49:48] In the 18th program, but I don’t want it to become overwhelming. And I, I can, I can give it [3:49:50] don’t want it to become overwhelming. And I, I can, I can give it to you as a cursory, maybe [3:49:50] become overwhelming. And I, I can, I can give it to you as a cursory, maybe the pro. [3:49:51] can, I can give it to you as a cursory, maybe the pro. Proforma and you can start to [3:49:52] to you as a cursory, maybe the pro. Proforma and you can start to digest it that way. [3:49:54] the pro. Proforma and you can start to digest it that way. But it is kind of independent [3:49:54] Proforma and you can start to digest it that way. But it is kind of independent of surface parking and [3:49:57] digest it that way. But it is kind of independent of surface parking and pay vantage. [3:49:58] But it is kind of independent of surface parking and pay vantage. So most likely maybe we can [3:49:59] of surface parking and pay vantage. So most likely maybe we can schedule it for the [3:50:00] pay vantage. So most likely maybe we can schedule it for the beginning of October. [3:50:07] And then have those two parts [3:50:07] And then have those two parts kind of independent and [3:50:09] And then have those two parts kind of independent and then you can merge ’em back [3:50:09] And then have those two parts kind of independent and then you can merge ’em back together. Yeah. But they [3:50:10] kind of independent and then you can merge ’em back together. Yeah. But they were, they were dramatic. [3:50:11] then you can merge ’em back together. Yeah. But they were, they were dramatic. The dramatically different in [3:50:11] together. Yeah. But they were, they were dramatic. The dramatically different in its capacity. [3:50:18] And so it didn’t really fit. [3:50:19] And so it didn’t really fit. And I didn’t want [3:50:19] And so it didn’t really fit. And I didn’t want to start to stretch the, the [3:50:20] And so it didn’t really fit. And I didn’t want to start to stretch the, the conversation. No, but yes, [3:50:22] And I didn’t want to start to stretch the, the conversation. No, but yes, I would say over two meetings, [3:50:22] to start to stretch the, the conversation. No, but yes, I would say over two meetings, I would like to [3:50:23] conversation. No, but yes, I would say over two meetings, I would like to do it. I, I would agree with [3:50:23] I would say over two meetings, I would like to do it. I, I would agree with your assessment. I. [3:50:24] I would like to do it. I, I would agree with your assessment. I. Mean, there are two major [3:50:25] do it. I, I would agree with your assessment. I. Mean, there are two major issues and yes, while they’re [3:50:26] your assessment. I. Mean, there are two major issues and yes, while they’re somewhat related, they are [3:50:26] Mean, there are two major issues and yes, while they’re somewhat related, they are independent. So. [3:50:27] issues and yes, while they’re somewhat related, they are independent. So. If we were pulling to council, [3:50:28] somewhat related, they are independent. So. If we were pulling to council, my preference would be. [3:50:34] One at each separate meeting [3:50:34] One at each separate meeting so that we can devote [3:50:36] One at each separate meeting so that we can devote an appropriate amount of time [3:50:36] One at each separate meeting so that we can devote an appropriate amount of time and not be told. We’ve [3:50:37] so that we can devote an appropriate amount of time and not be told. We’ve been talking for 10 minutes. [3:50:38] an appropriate amount of time and not be told. We’ve been talking for 10 minutes. Stop asking [3:50:38] and not be told. We’ve been talking for 10 minutes. Stop asking questions. Understood. [3:50:42] been talking for 10 minutes. Stop asking questions. Understood. Okay. If we can move on. Cause [3:50:42] Stop asking questions. Understood. Okay. If we can move on. Cause time council may, [3:50:44] questions. Understood. Okay. If we can move on. Cause time council may, if we could get through these [3:50:45] Okay. If we can move on. Cause time council may, if we could get through these court council mail number [3:50:45] time council may, if we could get through these court council mail number six.
