That's right.

10
00:08:26,690 --> 00:08:30,010
Godfather is because of you that we're all here tonight and we just thank you so

11
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:34,490
much for that. Father, we thank you so much for giving us life and giving us the ability to come

12
00:08:34,490 --> 00:08:40,530
out and make a difference in our world. Father, continue to touch us, touch us and keep us touch our families

13
00:08:40,530 --> 00:08:46,270
and keep them. We should be with Council tonight and city employees and staff that we're doing

14
00:08:46,270 --> 00:08:51,270
and say the right things for our citizens and our community. Help us make those wise decision.

15
00:08:51,850 --> 00:08:57,050
That would affect not only our households but they would I think keep us in the Sun's name,

16
00:08:57,170 --> 00:08:58,690
we pray on that.

17
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:29,220
Thank

18
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:54,470

19
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:57,150
emergency, you can't fool to my right for sending it beyond.

20
00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:58,310
Good evening, everyone.

21
00:09:58,490 --> 00:09:59,630
Thank you for coming out.

22
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:05,660
Good evening. Good evening. Good evening. Good evening. Good evening. Good evening.

23
00:10:05,660 --> 00:10:09,220
To my last stage, the atoms. Hello, everyone. Thank you for being with us tonight.

24
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,520
Deputy Gonzales. Good evening. Welcome everyone.

25
00:10:13,420 --> 00:10:15,240
Renee Pashel. Good evening.

26
00:10:16,020 --> 00:10:17,900
I'm out for us. Thank you for joining us.

27
00:10:18,020 --> 00:10:23,020
We begin the meeting with the citizens to be heard.

28
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:27,620
Item five, this time provided for citizens to address the counseling issues concerns.

29
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:31,080
I remember the public wishing to address the Council on the sign up to speak.

30
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:34,580
Prior to the start of the meeting, I'll see the Council discussion, or I should be taking

31
00:10:34,580 --> 00:10:35,860
up the items on the agenda.

32
00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:39,540
Please, limit your marks for your minutes, each name and address the record.

33
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,500
No personal tasks I'll be allowed.

34
00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:44,680
We have a meeting, Catherine, on-sourge.

35
00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:03,880
We'll get to the meeting.

36
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,180
Catherine, on-as-ourge, 505 gale circle.

37
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:21,220
And I'm here to speak about, I guess, cars left on the street that aren't being used.

38
00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:23,800
They just sit there months and months.

39
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,580
The street sweeper has to go around them.

40
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,180
It's bad enough.

41
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,300
It's got the garbage cans.

42
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:30,040
But he's got to go around all these cars.

43
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,280
And you can see the marks on the road where they have been moved in months.

44
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:36,940
My neighborhood now got a few of them.

45
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,640
But I mainly came here because they're on my street.

46
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,280
which I usually complain about anything on my street, which is Gail Circle.

47
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,840
There's been two that have been sitting there, one for two, two plus months,

48
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,680
and then a band that joined him that's been there for two weeks.

49
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,320
And they don't move, they just sit there.

50
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,120
And I spoke to the police chief about why he hasn't anybody come out and checked.

51
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,120
And seeing he said there's nothing they can do, which I don't, that's not right.

52
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,220
I handed out a thing there that said, you know, you cannot

53
00:12:09,780 --> 00:12:22,000
in Congress leading a vehicle park continuously on a public street for more than 72 hours is unlawful unless science, street markings or traffic maps explicitly permit longer parking.

54
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,960
Doesn't seem anything about having to be registered or whatever the word is.

55
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,520
It's just they can't sit there, you got to move them and then bring them back.

56
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:36,760
But there's so many in my neighborhood because it's an old neighborhood that there's seven

57
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,800
or eight cars in front of a house,

58
00:12:41,980 --> 00:12:45,160
and so some of them move, some of them don't, and

59
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,080
it gets to be kind of hard to come down a far truck, couldn't even come down, and Brenda,

60
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:53,920
right now at night, because they're on both sides, and there's no way to get a far truck

61
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,900
to make that turn to come in.

62
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:03,320
So, I already spoke to him, but I'd like to be here because I don't know if you have trouble with that.

63
00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:06,460
But in my neighborhood, there's so many cars that are just being stored.

64
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:09,960
If you're going to store them on our streets, pay for it.

65
00:13:10,220 --> 00:13:15,180
That's all I said. You can leave them there if you want, but you're going to pay the city to leave them there.

66
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,000
If you're not going to get storage somewhere else, that's all I have to say.

67
00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:21,980
Thank you.

68
00:13:21,980 --> 00:13:25,000
Please check into that.

69
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:32,660
Okay, I conclude us.

70
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:33,880
This is the rehearsing.

71
00:13:34,220 --> 00:13:34,640
We begin.

72
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,520
We can send a gender item six ABC and D in the council members.

73
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:39,300
Have a question.

74
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:40,740
A to D.

75
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,160
If not, do we have a motion?

76
00:13:42,580 --> 00:13:43,140
I make a motion.

77
00:13:43,380 --> 00:13:43,720
We approve.

78
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,540
Just imagine that item six.

79
00:13:45,780 --> 00:13:46,200
That's presented.

80
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,520
A second.

81
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:49,800
On favor say aye.

82
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,700
Post say no.

83
00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:53,400
Motion carries.

84
00:13:53,740 --> 00:13:54,380
Thank you.

85
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Item seven.

86
00:13:56,380 --> 00:13:56,980

00:15:17,140 --> 00:15:21,480
H&M address for the record, public hearing and now open at 7.13.

92
00:15:56,180 --> 00:15:59,900
Public hearing, item 7 and B is not closed, 7.14.

93
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:06,060
Item 7, C, public hearing, a request to resume 24.5 VA,

94
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,400
the property located at the southwest corner of where

95
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,660
Sigean Road and Bane.

96
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,140
Drive part of property with property ID number 619038

97
00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:17,540
from our six single family district to B2.

98
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:18,360
We tow district.

99
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,360
one wishing to speak on item 7, C please come forward, 6th name and address for the record.

100
00:16:23,740 --> 00:16:25,780
Holding here is now open 7.14.

101
00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:55,080
All right, Richard, if you're 6901, I believe shirts text it.

102
00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:01,060
Which butts right up to Boeing road at where this is being proposed.

103
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,900
So this is retail district, but that's not what the science had.

104
00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:06,540
The science had storage.

105
00:17:07,140 --> 00:17:16,420
So, my main concern is, when you say storage, I don't want it in my backyard to have a data

106
00:17:16,420 --> 00:17:22,740
storage facility, and this has retail district, but on the signs that are out there that

107
00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:25,300
was posted, it says storage facility.

108
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:33,160
So I just wanted the language to be specific, and I'm not sure how commerce feels about

109
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:40,760
data stores storage in their communities, but I would like not to see one in my back here.

110
00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:47,100
That's all I have. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

111
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:59,780
Thank you. Public hearing is now closed at 716.

112
00:18:05,850 --> 00:18:11,650

120
00:19:16,260 --> 00:19:20,580

record management policy that y'all reviewed at the last meeting. I stand for any questions.

126
00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:53,960
Questions anyone? Any more to add to your question?

127
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,760
Nope. Uh, nothing.

128
00:19:58,740 --> 00:19:59,740

00:22:00,530 --> 00:22:06,170
This is a supplementary ordinance that references the pre-gis ordinance.

167
00:22:06,170 --> 00:22:14,050
Number 723, it just adds reference to that ordinance in our zoning code in the residential districts.

168
00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:19,970
It all adds as one line referencing that nearly passed ordinance.

169
00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:21,290
I stand by for any questions.

170
00:22:21,870 --> 00:22:22,610
Questions, anyone?

171
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:27,950
No questions, especially if you're a motion item.

172
00:22:29,010 --> 00:22:29,470
See?

173
00:22:29,870 --> 00:22:32,110
I make the motion to approve item eight.

174
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:32,870
Has presented?

175
00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:33,790
I'll second.

176
00:22:36,620 --> 00:22:37,840
All in favor say aye.

177
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:38,560
Aye.

178
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,140
I would say no.

179
00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:42,630
Motion carries.

180
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:43,910
Thank you.

181
00:22:44,930 --> 00:22:45,350
Item 8.

182
00:22:45,610 --> 00:22:49,250
The discussion and probably actually consider ordinance number 5, 10, 20, 20, 26.

183
00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:53,590
The ordinance and the city commerce Texas code of ordinance is chapter 14.

184
00:22:54,030 --> 00:22:57,170
Court to amend article 2, section 14.20.

185
00:22:57,450 --> 00:23:02,250
To give the municipal court auger is takes you granted by 29.003.

186
00:23:02,370 --> 00:23:04,370
The government code and providing for finance.

187
00:23:04,370 --> 00:23:09,890
of fact, a cumulative 12-severability and effective date, second reading, see, manager.

188
00:23:11,170 --> 00:23:14,530
The city attorneys can handle this one again for the second reading.

189
00:23:15,570 --> 00:23:20,790
This was brought to you last time regarding updating the courts authority so you can actually

190
00:23:20,790 --> 00:23:24,390
utilize its full spectrum and that's really all this is.

191
00:23:24,790 --> 00:23:25,030
Questions?

192
00:23:28,980 --> 00:23:29,440
Questions?

193
00:23:29,860 --> 00:23:31,080
Is there a motion in the 90?

194
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,240
I'd like to make a motion to approve item 80 as presented?

195
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:35,240
I'd second.

196
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,660
All in favor say aye.

197
00:23:37,660 --> 00:23:38,080
Aye.

198
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:38,600
Aye.

199
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,560
Post say no.

200
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,180
Motion carries.

201
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,360
Thank you.

202
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:47,360
Item 98.

203
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,220
Discussion in the program action on resolution number 69 or 0.27.

204
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,180
Resolution provided a city commerce program of services budget for the fiscal year.

205
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,300
Beginning October 1, 2026.

206
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,340
Ending September 30, 2027.

207
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,170
By approving and setting aside the necessary funds city

208
00:24:03,660 --> 00:24:06,200
Congress for the fiscal year, 2026.

209
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,000
we set up for the maintenance and operations of the various departments, capital projects,

210
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:15,400
payments for debt, certainly for various activities and services to the city, city manager.

211
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,960
Yes, thank you, Mayor and Council. I want to thank you for all your guidance at the last

212
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:28,300
budget workshop. It was very helpful and I'm going to present the changes that I incorporated from

213
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:36,680
advice and suggestions and my recommendations to update you. So this is an updated version of

214
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,800
the one that you've seen for the proceeding couple budget workshops. There's not a lot of changes,

215
00:24:42,860 --> 00:24:55,200
so this won't take long. Okay, the total revenue, and I'll get to why it went up in a little bit,

216
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,880
For this current year, it's 22,774,000, so that is an increase.

217
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:16,790
1.9 million. I will get to what we got there quickly. Okay, I do want to remind everybody. Our total assessed property value did do decrease by 69 million. Okay, have alarm tax.

218
00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:30,010
You know, our current tax rate is 46.5. The no new revenue is really 48.3. The rate we did in the prior proposed budgets before today was 48.8.

219
00:25:30,670 --> 00:25:36,950
And the proposed rate that was advertised, that the council chose to advertise is 51.57.

220
00:25:38,150 --> 00:25:42,970
And that is what is used in today's proposed budget draft in front of you.

221
00:25:42,970 --> 00:25:45,610
And the voter approval rate was a little bit over that.

222
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:47,940
Okay.

223
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,320
And the assistant tax rate impact on the citizens.

224
00:25:51,740 --> 00:25:59,380
This is a real quick comparison to show between the current 46.5 and the 51.57 tax rate.

225
00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:02,400
So I have a couple of examples here of home values.

226
00:26:03,140 --> 00:26:07,320
I just subtracted the standard home

227
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,580
of stat exemption.

228
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:11,860
And remember this is just city tax rate, not all the tax rates

229
00:26:11,860 --> 00:26:13,520
that come on a bill, somebody's bill,

230
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,080
but just for the city tax rate.

231
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,860
So somebody currently in this scenario pays $907,

232
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,640
on $195,000 taxable value.

233
00:26:23,340 --> 00:26:27,900
It would go at $99 by going up to $51.57.

234
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:32,360
And this is the average home value in the city.

235
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:37,240
That's why I put the 220, 220,000 at difference is 109.

236
00:26:38,740 --> 00:26:44,180
And then I did 250,000, which is $124 different

237
00:26:44,180 --> 00:26:45,420
on an annual basis.

238
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,980
And 300,000 is $150 over year.

239
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,380
And 350 is 175.

240
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,460
Sorry, there's one more.

241
00:26:55,460 --> 00:26:59,540
So that just shows you the widest margin between the current and the proposed.

242
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:03,600
Okay, capital expenditures requested.

243
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:08,340
We talked about this in the last meeting, so you also have a handout in front of you.

244
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840
The updated, well, all I did was highlight what I have here on the thing.

245
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,240
So these are the actual capital expenditure requests that in all prior budgets,

246
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,960
drafts were not included, none of this was included.

247
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:32,180
So, based on the discussion at the last meeting, I did add an ambulance remount of $350,000.

248
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,700
This will be the second year in a row of an ambulance remount.

249
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:38,420
And also added the important breathing apparatus.

250
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:43,880
So, those two items in yellow come to $750,000, 3.4 million.

251
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,800
And then we have vehicles for the police six.

252
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,080
That's a lease program.

253
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,020
That's 190,000.

254
00:27:51,020 --> 00:27:55,840
And then I added back in the park sidewalks at $150,000.

255
00:27:57,340 --> 00:27:59,620
And I did not highlight the utility service truck,

256
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:03,940
but the utility fund is going to buy a new truck

257
00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:09,720
and do the hand me down version to public works.

258
00:28:10,180 --> 00:28:16,180
And that vehicle is a lot newer than the 1993 version we saw pictures of.

259
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,780
So in essence they will get the new vehicle,

260
00:28:19,780 --> 00:28:23,780
But I didn't highlight that because I didn't add that as a direct appropriation from the general fund.

261
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,300
So these things all add up to 1,090,000.

262
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:30,960
These items right here.

263
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:38,600
So remember the budget when I showed you the first slide was 1.9 million more than the last proposed budget.

264
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:46,300
So here we have 1,090,000 of that 1.9 million.

265
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:56,380
So I'm going to sort of just wrap up all my final recommendations here, is adopt the 51.57 tax rate,

266
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,860
which did bring in a judicial 759,000.

267
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:07,940
And that would be for merit raises, which would be an average of 5% salary increase.

268
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:15,580
And also to use a portion of the general fund balance for some requested capital expenditures,

269
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:19,640
Those are the items that just covered on the previous slide, okay?

270
00:29:23,780 --> 00:29:30,000
So, and so revenue went up by 1.9 million proposed budget over proposed budget.

271
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,460
There was two items that equal that.

272
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:39,300
There's basically the tax rate increase which brings in $750,000 and I'm rounding a little bit here.

273
00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:49,460
$750,000 and the general fund balance which is being brought over at $1,000,000, so that's where you get your 1.9 million increase in revenue

274
00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:56,300
and your increase in expenditures is for the salary increase and the capital items I just went over.

275
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,480
Okay, so two items of increased revenue.

276
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,880
And two items of increased expenses that need to match each other. And then, of course, continue.

277
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:11,220
We talked about this use of the Times Square apartment fund balance only for the via replacement.

278
00:30:13,460 --> 00:30:20,200
And then, we have the next steps, which is a public hearing on the proposed tax rate budget, which is today, which we've accomplished.

279
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,020
And then, we had ratifying adopt the budget and adopt the tax rate at the September 15 meeting.

280
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:31,160
I understand you could adopt the resolution if you so choose for the budget today, but you have

281
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,760
to come back and ratify that on the 15th and it passed the tax rate on the 15th.

282
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,760
So I know that was a lot, I'm just going to summarize.

283
00:30:40,580 --> 00:30:45,020
So between the proposed budget that you saw for many, a couple weeks, several weeks,

284
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,540
and this one went up by $1.9 million.

285
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:54,680
And the revenue for that was the increase on the tax rate brings in $750,000.

286
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,760
and we brought up 1 million, a little over 1 million, 1 million, 90,000

287
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,340
over from the general fund, those two combined to equal that 1.9.

288
00:31:04,220 --> 00:31:09,060
The expenditures for that is the 5% pay raise average for the merit

289
00:31:09,550 --> 00:31:13,540
and those capital expenditures items that are highlighted in yellow.

290
00:31:14,020 --> 00:31:19,680
750,000 for the fire department for two items, 190,000,

291
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:29,000
I believe for the six police cards and then $150,000 for the park sidewalk replacement.

292
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:33,440
So that's to match up the 1.9 difference.

293
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:36,500
I know you probably have some questions.

294
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:38,000
Do you have any questions at the time?

295
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:39,200
Yeah, I'll start.

296
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,180
I just wish that I would've got all this information last week.

297
00:31:42,460 --> 00:31:46,200
This is a lot to be able to prove it all in one night.

298
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:55,080
absorb it, and I have a question, what is the 51-5, what is it, what is the yield extra?

299
00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:56,760
About 750.

300
00:31:59,420 --> 00:32:00,460
Are you aware?

301
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,080
Hey, ladies.

302
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:02,980
The stock theory.

303
00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:05,160
Are you aware that it's 2324?

304
00:32:05,220 --> 00:32:07,080
I'm going to tell you that that's 3 years.

305
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,000
2324.

306
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:17,140
We spent 980,000, 922, 8% of the year that was 8% pay-ways in the K.

307
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:29,160
2024, we gave them another 8% pay-ways, so that's 974, that's almost 2,000, we spent the

308
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,240
stays in the budget forever, and then you add to the benefits.

309
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:38,680
And then last year, we gave a six, slash three percent depending on where you were at.

310
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:47,880
So total for the last three years, the pay rates have been 2,244,000 to me.

311
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,680
That's a lot.

312
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,680
And it's 22 percent.

313
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:54,100
Everybody got 22 percent boost on their pay.

314
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,380
Depending on what you felt, you got 19.

315
00:32:56,460 --> 00:32:59,140
So 2019, because that last year, we did 63.

316
00:32:59,140 --> 00:33:07,000
If we go with five, we're hitting 27 percent of 24 percent now, you know, to me, that's

317
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:14,100
a lot, you know, and we're hitting two million, 1948, it's hitting our budgets that save

318
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:18,640
their forever and then you had to benefit, so we're just under three million, we spent

319
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:27,220
the last four years of pay rate, you know, to me, that's too much, you know, considering

320
00:33:27,220 --> 00:33:29,940
In fact, that we have a lot.

321
00:33:30,620 --> 00:33:32,380
We can't, you know, capital privilege, because that's

322
00:33:32,380 --> 00:33:33,660
why, you know, because of this.

323
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,440
That's what's called this, we follow in in the same

324
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,680
footsteps of Justin and I as a D with A.

325
00:33:39,220 --> 00:33:41,180
They did the same thing with their employees.

326
00:33:41,740 --> 00:33:43,320
And then they got shortfall by the state.

327
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,280
They just like we're going to get shortfall,

328
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,420
with self-tax and that round them.

329
00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:50,700
And then they got in trouble the same way, you know.

330
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,620
It's the same picture, you know.

331
00:33:54,620 --> 00:33:55,640
So that's my concern.

332
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:02,520
I'm not against giving a 2%, but I don't prefer to give it as a cola.

333
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,200
In other words, cost a living because it's the way the economy is.

334
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:15,260
You know, yeah, we're giving them a lot in the last three years, but 2% of the cola would be the right thing to do at this point for me anyway.

335
00:34:16,460 --> 00:34:22,400
Because the gas has gone up, food, you know, $100 or what the food you don't get very much these days,

336
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,320
to be on HB or in all fairness, the other stores.

337
00:34:27,180 --> 00:34:29,200
So the Cola's in need, but it has to be given

338
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,840
across the board and not merit if you work here,

339
00:34:34,220 --> 00:34:39,220
that should be good enough to get the 2% to this cola for me.

340
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,320
And I would have loved to see, for me,

341
00:34:43,420 --> 00:34:46,700
I would have loved to see a Coke appliance officer

342
00:34:46,700 --> 00:34:49,240
because the officer, the survivor came up here,

343
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,320
and we asked him why he couldn't do this job at all.

344
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:59,040
We're short of many, so my response was we can't fall from if you don't have the resources.

345
00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:06,800
I would have a lot of the scene, a co-governmental officer, and then public works. All the issues with public works.

346
00:35:07,420 --> 00:35:15,440
You know, I know that some of their, some of their, we've done this in the past or my experience, they do see their issues are seasonal.

347
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:25,280
The grass, it rains, and also in the grass, we'll grow fast. You don't want to hire people, but we didn't have the past, we hired our time people.

348
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:32,280
We gave them, we've given departments like two, two, three hard times.

349
00:35:32,420 --> 00:35:38,060
In this case, I would love to see two hard time public works and employees to take care of all these issues.

350
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:46,600
And then the police department, with all the growth and crime dealing with, you can't get everybody.

351
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,200
Well, there's a starting point, as we always done here.

352
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:56,320
I would have given them one patrol officer, a lot of extra money, it's given the 5% out of

353
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,440
the given patrol officer.

354
00:35:58,020 --> 00:36:01,880
The same thing in firefighter, I would have given one firefighter, so that everybody's

355
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,740
covered slowly.

356
00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:07,980
You know, starting point, we build it and then every year we can do that, you know, with the

357
00:36:07,980 --> 00:36:08,260
extra.

358
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:15,940
And then I'm much sure it's served for you using one million ninety thousand to pay for

359
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:16,800
those capital items.

360
00:36:16,820 --> 00:36:18,180
Okay, see, I'm good with that.

361
00:36:18,180 --> 00:36:19,320
I'm good with the reserves.

362
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:26,660
I just wish I would add this priding, not tonight, but I'd either do the door, you know.

363
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:34,360
So big decision we make here, you know, and the more time we get the better off we are.

364
00:36:34,740 --> 00:36:39,840
So we don't make those bottom states that are the cities for government entities made.

365
00:36:40,620 --> 00:36:43,120
And so that's my take on the pay.

366
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:51,520
never saying that they don't deserve a saying is this we've given a lot, you know, and, and, you know, 22%

367
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:57,980
I spent 21 years in a military. I don't think I ever hit that much period, but I didn't go in it for the money.

368
00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:03,920
You know, it's almost okay with that. But I'm thinking about what for the county, I never saw 22%.

369
00:37:04,980 --> 00:37:10,600
You know, that alone, you know, a 23 year, that worked total. I never saw that much, maybe 10.

370
00:37:11,140 --> 00:37:23,580
You know, it's just gonna, we read generous, you know, and then yeah, maybe they're deserving but we have to be a stopping point because we have other priorities, we have capital improvements.

371
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:33,860
He's in the same as great, but like he said earlier, I don't want to use it all because my head is probably going to have it falling and see if he's been 5% because you're going to have to navigate all that.

372
00:37:33,860 --> 00:37:41,000
5% to pay, and then with benefits, we're going to be higher, and then we're going to be in the same bowl next year after he's savings.

373
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,320
And that's my experience as well, it's the same thing again.

374
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,820
So that's my take on that.

375
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,960
You know, based on my comments last time that we had it,

376
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:59,340
I wanted to use the extra money because we're not a bank,

377
00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:10,000
And we shouldn't, we shouldn't, when you have eight million odds in the bank and you're taxing the residents and to get pay raises, that's not good.

378
00:38:11,580 --> 00:38:21,300
Unless you have to, you should, but in this case, we can, but maybe not, not 5% trade across, maybe a colon still.

379
00:38:22,420 --> 00:38:25,100
So that's my take. Who's next?

380
00:38:26,260 --> 00:38:34,380
I'll just add some commentary back to that, if we, there was, we did discuss last time

381
00:38:34,380 --> 00:38:41,860
about adding some people, those would have to be paid out of that 750,000, so that would

382
00:38:41,860 --> 00:38:47,160
erode any text, we couldn't even get all those people they mentioned Mayor in there for 750,

383
00:38:47,980 --> 00:38:54,840
so and we do want to stay competitive and I know new two cities are the same, but in this

384
00:38:54,840 --> 00:39:01,460
We're always competing against everybody in the San Antonio Metroplex area and I wasn't here when the two eight percent

385
00:39:01,460 --> 00:39:07,720
But it sounds like the city at that time was so far behind. That's why they play catch up. We slowed it down a little bit last year

386
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:11,960
And then this year five's a little bit less and or close to what it was last year

387
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,800
But I want to stay competitive and not

388
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,120
being a situation where we're behind again

389
00:39:18,420 --> 00:39:24,820
We're already behind our competitors and other departments and you can pick any department where there's fire police or public works

390
00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:27,180
So the five will keep us competitive.

391
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:31,000
We say every year, you see the matters come up here.

392
00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:32,280
And we are.

393
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,980
And where we are, it's just the cards we've been dealt when you're ever going to major

394
00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:40,120
Metroplex, you know, the cities and Dallas are all competing against you.

395
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,600
They're Houston, San Antonio, around Austin, so.

396
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:49,820
So the reason I put the five percent in there, which is a meritorous and an average, is

397
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:50,700
to stay competitive.

398
00:39:50,700 --> 00:39:54,840
And I don't believe we need a new code enforcement officer.

399
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,480
I think there's other changes we can do to improve there.

400
00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,860
And the chief and I have already talked.

401
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:09,940
We have to discuss some of those, but I'd like to start smaller. I don't think the answer is just add another body. I'd like to see some changes in the department and how it's run.

402
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:17,540
And also to start out small where maybe we take an employee and work one day a week in a month and let's see what it looks like on the weekend.

403
00:40:17,780 --> 00:40:24,540
Because if we don't really need an employee for tall grass on the weekend, that tall grass is there a Monday through Friday and should be identified.

404
00:40:25,300 --> 00:40:27,200
It didn't pop up on the weekend when we need somebody.

405
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:33,240
Now, if there's somebody doing garage sale permits on the weekend without a permit or garage sale, that would be something it could be caught.

406
00:40:33,660 --> 00:40:42,420
But we also want to invest some technological improvements with radio and body cameras with the before we let those employees come in and work on the weekend.

407
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,020
So, I think there's some things we can do before we just jump to adding another employee for code enforcement.

408
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:55,600
Well, my thing is I'm getting hit by citizens. I've told you many times, the intersection of Kitty Hawk, women trail,

409
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,320
I mentioned that at six months ago, nothing's been done.

410
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,300
Okay, the grass is still, that corner is still high.

411
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:03,900
And I even joked the wrongs today.

412
00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:06,400
They must have an exemption or waiver for grass

413
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,840
because nothing ever gets done.

414
00:41:07,860 --> 00:41:11,960
I told you, community director that, you know, everybody laughed.

415
00:41:12,460 --> 00:41:14,520
It still hasn't been done to this day.

416
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:16,120
Well, six months ago.

417
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,420
Then that's a process I need to get involved with.

418
00:41:18,420 --> 00:41:19,340
You know, somebody do it.

419
00:41:19,340 --> 00:41:22,300
With that department head and correct that,

420
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:23,580
as opposed to hire another person.

421
00:41:23,580 --> 00:41:31,900
Yeah. Well, I have to meet to me if you hand it off to the supervisor. He only has some

422
00:41:31,900 --> 00:41:34,240
main bodies. That's why I get that response.

423
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:37,700
Okay. Who's next?

424
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:45,140
I'll go next. Mr. Farmer, when I met with you and Nemo, that was one of the things that

425
00:41:45,140 --> 00:41:53,460
you all said to me, is that yes, public works was undermanned. So in this budget, and I was

426
00:41:53,460 --> 00:41:55,760
asking on at the last budget workshop,

427
00:41:57,820 --> 00:42:04,500
can personnel is personnel included in this particular

428
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:06,680
budget for the next year.

429
00:42:08,020 --> 00:42:16,680
When I spoke with Nemo, I would love to call him by his last name, but I can't remember it.

430
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:22,480
When I spoke with him, he said, you know, we only have a certain number of people, and that

431
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:28,820
As a reason why we cannot get all of the areas in conference that need to be attended to.

432
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:35,880
Does this budget can this budget with a reduction in the pay raise?

433
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:41,220
Can that pay for the suggestion that the mayor is asking?

434
00:42:41,740 --> 00:42:45,620
Can that pay for two part-time people?

435
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:52,460
Yes, so talking with Nemo and the financial director, I think when we get into the summer

436
00:42:52,460 --> 00:42:58,920
time or close to the summertime. There will be money in there that will be unused that we can

437
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:04,160
possibly use to hire a couple of part-timers because that is not a huge expense. But instead

438
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,300
of putting those in there right now and taking it away from the pay raises, I decided let's

439
00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:14,780
look at that in the spring when we get closer to the need and reassess than. But there are some

440
00:43:14,780 --> 00:43:19,380
things we can do and maybe his budget where we can afford those people at that time.

441
00:43:19,380 --> 00:43:25,120
Well, I don't want to rain on the parade of the employees and them receiving a pay raise.

442
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:30,020
But I want to piggyback off of something that the mayor just said.

443
00:43:30,460 --> 00:43:33,180
I work professionally 36 years as an educator.

444
00:43:34,380 --> 00:43:36,440
I never received that kind of a raise.

445
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,520
In 36 years, I received one raise.

446
00:43:40,220 --> 00:43:46,540
In the industry of education, I considered that one of the poor professions, because we're

447
00:43:46,540 --> 00:43:48,020
lower men on the totem pole.

448
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,420
And I never received the kind of rays

449
00:43:50,420 --> 00:43:54,880
that this particular budget is recommending.

450
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:58,960
Lucky them.

451
00:43:59,420 --> 00:44:02,140
Yes, and I know apples and oranges,

452
00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:04,300
it's two different things from a school district,

453
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:05,740
and in competition,

454
00:44:05,980 --> 00:44:07,560
but we have competition with our employees.

455
00:44:07,900 --> 00:44:09,060
They can easily go over to shirts.

456
00:44:09,260 --> 00:44:10,200
They can go to live home.

457
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,600
They can go across town to castle hills.

458
00:44:11,660 --> 00:44:12,800
And they always have.

459
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:13,140
Yeah.

460
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:14,660
And they still have?

461
00:44:14,660 --> 00:44:19,320
And so we've been truth well not been here with everybody and I know you're always going to have a

462
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,860
Trishon people leave for different reasons maybe not even pay they just want to move to a different state to be close to family

463
00:44:23,860 --> 00:44:27,380
There's all kinds of examples we can give but I you know

464
00:44:27,380 --> 00:44:31,980
It's important that we stay competitive and not lose the good employees we have because simply

465
00:44:31,980 --> 00:44:39,020
We're one of the lowest paying in the area and I know my predecessor and the council

466
00:44:39,020 --> 00:44:44,260
prior councils gave the two 8% but in a row but that was because we were

467
00:44:44,260 --> 00:44:48,680
woefully behind before that and I just hate to see us get farther behind by

468
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,300
not keeping up with at least a 5% and so we can hire and also it comes to hiring we

469
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:59,940
also want to bring in good people you know to start out with us and be competitive and

470
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:20,220
So far behind that every new officer that graduates the academy goes to another city and doesn't come to us. So we can hire so many people too. So I know there are some professions that just don't give pay raises. I get that and I'm dealing with this profession right here and I want to stay competitive so we can keep our good employees and hire good employees.

471
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:26,440
I think I could recommend an amendment

472
00:45:28,900 --> 00:45:30,820
to this budget.

473
00:45:33,910 --> 00:45:34,390
Okay.

474
00:45:34,570 --> 00:45:35,850
We'll just let go.

475
00:45:36,130 --> 00:45:37,830
So we'll get everybody's input first.

476
00:45:38,070 --> 00:45:38,690
Wait a minute.

477
00:45:39,330 --> 00:45:41,070
I'm just listening at the moment.

478
00:45:41,270 --> 00:45:41,990
You know, I don't know anything.

479
00:45:42,790 --> 00:45:43,750
I'm going to let some for you.

480
00:45:45,890 --> 00:45:46,450
Yeah.

481
00:45:46,630 --> 00:45:48,910
I'd like to go after payment.

482
00:45:49,390 --> 00:45:49,890
That's okay.

483
00:45:50,950 --> 00:45:51,650
So I agree.

484
00:45:51,790 --> 00:45:53,830
I think we were behind in salaries.

485
00:45:53,830 --> 00:45:58,050
and I think that's why we want to cross the board to give raises.

486
00:45:58,850 --> 00:46:04,530
I do think we have to be competitive. You're the one and HR that see our employees and you hear

487
00:46:04,530 --> 00:46:12,910
them and you're listening to great people asking for increase in salary. So I think we have to

488
00:46:12,910 --> 00:46:23,810
listen to you for that. But I'm gonna have to agree with something the mayor said. I think we can do a

489
00:46:23,810 --> 00:46:30,550
of cost of living increase, but at the same time, I do believe that we have to look at public

490
00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:38,550
work. Today I stopped on Long Shalom Trail, which is that value between us and Universal City,

491
00:46:39,310 --> 00:46:46,030
and the residents all the way down, are saying, Universal City keeps that grass beautiful.

492
00:46:46,550 --> 00:46:52,210
Over here on our side, we have a problem. And so I've been hearing that, I've been hearing the

493
00:46:52,210 --> 00:46:59,810
talk about the area that has not been cut. So I do think if we could have done something with

494
00:46:59,810 --> 00:47:05,010
with a public's work to get the grass under control, I think we would have done that already.

495
00:47:05,570 --> 00:47:11,130
So I do think we need to look at getting a part-time person or somebody else in there.

496
00:47:11,570 --> 00:47:20,590
But for me, I do think employees deserve, I mean, health care. And I want my raise and I want it

497
00:47:20,590 --> 00:47:23,830
because of the cost of living, but I also want it on the merit base,

498
00:47:24,630 --> 00:47:27,290
because outstanding employees want to be paid, outstanding.

499
00:47:27,990 --> 00:47:30,970
And some of the city knows our outstanding employees,

500
00:47:31,110 --> 00:47:32,110
and they're going to come for them.

501
00:47:32,250 --> 00:47:34,130
So I do believe we have to take care of our staff.

502
00:47:34,430 --> 00:47:35,750
So here's that for me.

503
00:47:35,930 --> 00:47:38,130
But I also believe we have to take care of our staff

504
00:47:38,130 --> 00:47:43,490
by giving them enough tools to help take care of our grants.

505
00:47:44,370 --> 00:47:46,910
Whether that's outsource it or whatever.

506
00:47:46,970 --> 00:47:47,790
I don't know that.

507
00:47:47,790 --> 00:47:53,590
how that would work, but I do think both has to be a complish, but it's just not,

508
00:47:57,420 --> 00:47:57,660
it's

509
00:47:57,660 --> 00:47:58,240
my own way.

510
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,160
I agree with the mayor for once.

511
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:16,720
I do think we need to give them some kind of race, whatever it is, because we've all skirted

512
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:17,820
around the problem.

513
00:48:18,580 --> 00:48:25,000
Somebody comes here, they get a job, they get real good at it, and they realize, oh, I can

514
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:30,840
to shirts and take my experience over there and get paid more. But people have got to remember

515
00:48:31,620 --> 00:48:41,480
too that shirts live oak and everybody up by 35 has revenue coming in from all the businesses

516
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:50,780
that are there and converse is a poor city. And now we're up in the tax rate. So we have to

517
00:48:50,780 --> 00:48:57,340
kind of balance, what kind of ways you want to give them, and yet we still have to provide

518
00:48:57,340 --> 00:49:07,280
the services to our citizens for whatever water, you know, whatever the service that we need

519
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:16,460
fire police. I was under the exception in the section that when you showed us the first draft

520
00:49:16,460 --> 00:49:23,900
of this budget, you said that the fire and the police needed three people, because they

521
00:49:23,900 --> 00:49:30,440
wanted to promote up to Lieutenant and what not. So you needed to replace them. And I

522
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:36,900
thought that was in here, but it's not. No, it's never been in the prior draft or this draft.

523
00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:37,620
That's correct.

524
00:49:42,940 --> 00:49:50,420
See now you have to sit there and think, okay, what is the priority of the city here? I mean,

525
00:49:50,420 --> 00:49:55,120
You know, I've always thought it was always, you know, safety, okay.

526
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,940
And, you know, if you, I think you should take...

527
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:07,840
A little bit back from those raises. But I do believe that they all need a raise. Because it's been announced.

528
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:19,000
And all you got to do is not give them one. And they'll all get up and go. Okay. And I appreciate our employees. I really do. And I appreciate the directors above them.

529
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,780
But they do a good job with what they've got.

530
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,320
But we have got to sit here and think, what is our priority?

531
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:37,200
To me, a foreign or a policeman is a little more important than going out and getting them a new car.

532
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,320
They have got vehicles.

533
00:50:39,660 --> 00:50:45,120
I know they get miles on them, but you don't have to replace them every year.

534
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:56,300
So I see a little disconnect in some places, but raises, I agree with the mayor, I think the 5% is too much.

535
00:51:02,190 --> 00:51:06,250
Okay, a few different thoughts here. I think it's good conversation though.

536
00:51:07,330 --> 00:51:13,470
I do agree we should revisit how we approach the mayor and increase it.

537
00:51:13,470 --> 00:51:20,750
I feel like messaging matters so it's it's being presented as to remain competitive this increase

538
00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:26,670
but ultimately it sounds like we're underpaying staff so there's a difference between awarding a

539
00:51:26,670 --> 00:51:33,590
staff number for good performance and there's a as employee who's getting paid

540
00:51:34,470 --> 00:51:42,890
40,000 when the market says he or she deserves 50,000 so I think they're there need to be clarity and it

541
00:51:42,890 --> 00:51:48,210
would be helpful to have some background on well what percentage of our staff are under market

542
00:51:48,210 --> 00:51:54,850
rate and so forth. But I think there's multiple factors to consider. So I do agree with the

543
00:51:54,850 --> 00:52:06,130
cost of increasing that a cost of living applied across the board would be appropriate. But I think

544
00:52:06,130 --> 00:52:13,770
combination may be, would be good fit. So, considering a kind of cost of living

545
00:52:13,770 --> 00:52:18,670
brawl employees, but for those that you can approach it as a merit, and so

546
00:52:18,670 --> 00:52:23,670
that we are, you know, recognizing and awarding those high performing, or if we

547
00:52:23,670 --> 00:52:28,690
need a prioritized item, who's being underpaid thousands of dollars, you can

548
00:52:28,690 --> 00:52:34,470
tap into that bucket. So, ultimately, my thought would be a combination of the two

549
00:52:34,470 --> 00:52:42,910
use your discretion on, you know, how you want to present it. But if we do reduce the, from

550
00:52:42,910 --> 00:52:50,770
5% to 2 or 3, that would offer savings for potentially, it sounds like staffing.

551
00:52:52,290 --> 00:52:57,930
Yeah, the staffing would have to come from that $750,000. And that wouldn't get many employees,

552
00:52:58,210 --> 00:53:02,190
but yeah, it would have to come from that pot of money. Okay.

553
00:53:04,090 --> 00:53:13,370
For the investments, so it seems like we did prioritize capital over staffing for this one.

554
00:53:13,390 --> 00:53:16,730
Is this total to 1,990,000?

555
00:53:17,030 --> 00:53:18,010
Yeah, that's correct.

556
00:53:18,650 --> 00:53:21,210
So I wouldn't say it was prioritized over.

557
00:53:21,410 --> 00:53:22,570
So we had two pods of money.

558
00:53:22,670 --> 00:53:27,170
One was the fund balance, which we can only use really use on capital, which we did a

559
00:53:27,170 --> 00:53:36,750
And then we have the 750 which we could use on a combination or one of the other of people and or sourd.

560
00:53:37,350 --> 00:53:43,990
Okay, so the one million 90,000 is only, you're saying we could only use it for cats.

561
00:53:43,990 --> 00:53:44,910
That's right, that's right.

562
00:53:46,670 --> 00:53:54,170
So the 750 is where we all need to decide what combination is going to be soury versus important.

563
00:53:55,590 --> 00:53:58,730
Okay, yeah, that does restrict things a bit.

564
00:54:01,350 --> 00:54:04,490
Not to move on, but just real quick, two other small things.

565
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:12,150
For public safety, I was unsure, I'm seeing two different percentages, 56 dedicated

566
00:54:12,150 --> 00:54:18,710
to public safety and then 58 somewhere, so I wanted to get clarity on that to make sure

567
00:54:18,710 --> 00:54:20,710
it's accurate, whatever's presented here.

568
00:54:21,430 --> 00:54:21,630
Okay.

569
00:54:22,430 --> 00:54:23,910
Do you have the page numbers there?

570
00:54:23,910 --> 00:54:33,890
There's no page number. It would be nice because there's a lot of pages here. But it's on the general fund expenditure by function.

571
00:54:33,890 --> 00:54:43,910
I think it's a reference, here is 58 percent, and then we talk about a percent number or the bodies that are in the department.

572
00:54:44,010 --> 00:54:49,010
Oh, percent of percent of our expenditures that are catered to public safety.

573
00:54:50,370 --> 00:54:53,270
Okay, okay, so it's percent not bodies, okay.

574
00:54:54,170 --> 00:54:59,110
And then the other page right next to it where it says proposed revenues, the references.

575
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,420
Fifty-six of our general funds will be dedicated to public safety. So, I just wanted to...

576
00:55:05,420 --> 00:55:09,160
Okay. I'll get with you afterwards and see that. Okay.

577
00:55:10,660 --> 00:55:16,380
And then last one that to take us off topic, because this is a good conversation around the mayor.

578
00:55:17,900 --> 00:55:24,240
I noticed on this one, and sorry, I didn't catch it on the other ones, but the speed bump program. I noticed it was dropped to zero.

579
00:55:24,620 --> 00:55:28,660
Dollars, or zero percent. Just wanted to get some background on that.

580
00:55:28,660 --> 00:55:33,040
I'd have to ask the Department how to come up with that program.

581
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:43,080
Good question because I saw that in the winter.

582
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,480
Wow, we have a little request all the time.

583
00:55:48,060 --> 00:55:50,800
The state program is on page 94.

584
00:55:52,100 --> 00:55:53,400
Why is it no budget on it?

585
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:55,260
Good evening, Mayor Council.

586
00:55:56,240 --> 00:55:57,760
Good evening, public worst director.

587
00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:00,460
So as far as that line answer,

588
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,620
I believe that one specifically for speedhumps.

589
00:56:03,620 --> 00:56:08,340
I didn't change that one, so I honestly don't have an answer for y'all.

590
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:09,260
It was a car.

591
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,360
Yeah, you put Steve Benson this year.

592
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:15,960
That...

593
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:20,120
If I recall correctly, I thought there was 50,000 in there.

594
00:56:20,500 --> 00:56:25,820
So it's all, but to then under major capital street maintenance.

595
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,880
So it's not separated, like last year.

596
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:31,620
But when it's there, it's just not...

597
00:56:33,740 --> 00:56:34,700
Yeah, basically.

598
00:56:36,860 --> 00:56:37,340
Okay.

599
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:39,820
Okay, thank you.

600
00:56:39,820 --> 00:56:40,660
So how much is that?

601
00:56:45,260 --> 00:56:47,160
Fund is 1 million.

602
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,200
Why is it in a different place and why is it so much?

603
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,960
You're ing, you're intermingling them with the free maintenance fund.

604
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,660
But this is the free maintenance fund that you're asking.

605
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:01,920
Yeah, no, no.

606
00:57:01,940 --> 00:57:03,300
She's asking about speed bumps.

607
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:04,920
Has nothing to do with the street maintenance.

608
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:09,180
Yes, sir. It's under and all this. I don't want to put it, but it has nothing to do with

609
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:13,300
the street maintenance fund

610
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:20,680
The man's foster pair roads. We can't do it. Do it speed bumps with that money. It will be legal

611
00:57:27,580 --> 00:57:29,620
Yeah, yeah, it's a street maintenance lunch

612
00:57:30,460 --> 00:57:35,440
Husking a lot. So you're saying that this 50,000 is now moved to the right

613
00:57:35,980 --> 00:57:38,120
So that's all in here.

614
00:57:41,090 --> 00:57:46,190
And a rationale for bringing it under a different line item.

615
00:57:47,290 --> 00:57:47,990
Is it just created?

616
00:57:49,690 --> 00:57:50,610
It's the same one.

617
00:57:51,710 --> 00:57:52,070
Okay.

618
00:57:53,510 --> 00:57:54,530
I have no preference.

619
00:57:54,810 --> 00:57:57,330
I think as long as there is an investment in that,

620
00:57:57,350 --> 00:57:58,550
it was my biggest question.

621
00:57:58,910 --> 00:57:59,970
Well, it's not a matter of preference.

622
00:57:59,970 --> 00:58:00,790
It's a matter with a law.

623
00:58:00,890 --> 00:58:02,730
It allows you to deal with this tremendous fund.

624
00:58:02,830 --> 00:58:03,170
Yeah.

625
00:58:03,370 --> 00:58:04,810
That is a very important point.

626
00:58:04,890 --> 00:58:09,330
If I have the attorney check that because my interpretation is that you can only do

627
00:58:09,330 --> 00:58:12,830
certain things we would have had money, you can't eat bumps.

628
00:58:13,490 --> 00:58:18,150
Then it's probably safe for us to keep it as it was.

629
00:58:18,670 --> 00:58:24,210
Just yeah, we're restrictive on what can do with those funds.

630
00:58:25,830 --> 00:58:29,870
When we first talked about it with the council,

631
00:58:30,270 --> 00:58:32,790
get it to the voters, we went all the reasons.

632
00:58:33,490 --> 00:58:35,790
We went all the way, it was just a member that was here at that time.

633
00:58:35,870 --> 00:58:38,230
And he said, you can only use it for this and that's it.

634
00:58:40,910 --> 00:58:44,810
in the parks in that way to put a stop to that.

635
00:58:47,230 --> 00:58:48,070
Anybody else?

636
00:58:49,270 --> 00:58:56,470
I'm actually going to create the mayor as far as pulling back on a five percent.

637
00:58:57,530 --> 00:59:03,210
Were the cameras and the radio's included in this as necessary items?

638
00:59:05,270 --> 00:59:07,770
I'm going to have to ask the chief and I don't know.

639
00:59:17,050 --> 00:59:17,710
So when

640
00:59:22,510 --> 00:59:25,750
things I always do is Mayor Council,

641
00:59:26,150 --> 00:59:26,730
leave me.

642
00:59:27,850 --> 00:59:30,070
Body cameras, we've always replacing the body cameras.

643
00:59:30,350 --> 00:59:31,890
I just didn't know the purchase.

644
00:59:34,070 --> 00:59:36,610
Just the other day, actually before a budget closed,

645
00:59:36,910 --> 00:59:39,190
I actually just bought another 11 body cameras.

646
00:59:39,750 --> 00:59:41,770
So we're actually replacing as we need them.

647
00:59:41,770 --> 00:59:48,190
So they're good, they're new and they're good to go. We're fine with the cameras now. We get to remember one thing too is just kind of keep it

648
00:59:49,050 --> 00:59:56,750
Now mind just the mindful of the seizure money that we can come in in to so we use that seizure money to replace

649
00:59:56,750 --> 00:59:59,950
equipment a lot of times oftentimes so we're not having to come

650
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,740
On the council asking for additional money. So just kind of be mindful of that. And I can say there's some large seizure

651
01:00:07,740 --> 01:00:13,960
money that's getting ready to come in this next year. It's been taking some time, because of course the government's slower to pay right now.

652
01:00:14,260 --> 01:00:21,760
But as that money comes in, that's some of the plans we have is replacing equipment on the vehicles. So that's our in-car cameras is replacing each one of them.

653
01:00:22,100 --> 01:00:24,700
But we never know what the seizure money is.

654
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:29,820
Well, it's in all this line item, we do a posted in a line item and you've got you all

655
01:00:29,820 --> 01:00:34,740
do get that of how much we've got in there each time, so it's actually in our budget.

656
01:00:35,100 --> 01:00:38,640
So it's counted as some money that's there, of course we can touch it or it can only

657
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:43,040
go to police department, you know, equipment, but that money is there.

658
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,680
Now one thing to cut, so if we buy vehicles with that money, so just so you know if we do

659
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:51,000
buy vehicles with that money, if we sell that vehicle, that money has to go back and that

660
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,080
fund every time.

661
01:00:52,300 --> 01:00:53,080
Can that be moved for anything?

662
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:58,320
Well, I meant those, that you can't predict what the seizure money is going to be.

663
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,820
Well, we don't, but we know that we have dags, they call them dags, it's the seizures coming in.

664
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:06,240
And we know that we've been getting notified on the dags like how many they're getting coming in.

665
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:12,440
We had a real huge one that was, it actually expanded from Texas all the way through California.

666
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,860
And that's a big one getting ready to come in for us.

667
01:01:14,860 --> 01:01:18,840
And when it does, that's what I like to do with it, I like to replace equipment, things.

668
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,500
So that don't have to come to you is, in a police team said, hey, I need new radios.

669
01:01:22,500 --> 01:01:29,900
I need this. I need that. We use that money for that equipment. Radios were always looking at replacing them.

670
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:35,700
I can tell you right now, a single radio now costs $10,000 per radio.

671
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,860
So we're always looking for grant money. Those type of things to pay for that.

672
01:01:42,060 --> 01:01:50,880
So is it right now? So the vehicles, the new vehicles we put in there, those we equipped with in new in car cameras.

673
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:58,340
Because if our cameras are already 15 years old, so they're timing out, but those did that included the money that's in there included the new cameras as well.

674
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:05,560
Well, I know the concern was also for code enforcement if they do work weekends, having that as a data.

675
01:02:05,620 --> 01:02:06,920
We have those coming in.

676
01:02:06,940 --> 01:02:08,740
Well, as animal control.

677
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,160
Both are taking care of.

678
01:02:11,180 --> 01:02:11,420
Okay.

679
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:13,300
That's what my question.

680
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:14,360
They're done.

681
01:02:14,940 --> 01:02:15,320
Trust me.

682
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:15,580
Got to take care of it.

683
01:02:15,580 --> 01:02:16,640
That was my question.

684
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:21,960
How do you buy six vehicles from 190,000, what do you buy in Volkswagen's?

685
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:26,260
No, sir. They're fully equipped police cars. The interesting thing is it shows

686
01:02:26,260 --> 01:02:31,340
lease, and that's not going to kind of lead. They're not. They're actually purchase. Those

687
01:02:31,340 --> 01:02:34,020
are going to be the ones you're buying now. We're going to be purchased vehicles. They're

688
01:02:34,020 --> 01:02:38,880
no longer lease. Although we have lease vehicles, those are going to be for purchase. The

689
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:43,420
interesting thing about this new lease program is we've found is this company that we're

690
01:02:43,420 --> 01:02:50,260
bank. If we purchase these vehicle January 1st of 2027, our first payment is not due to January

691
01:02:50,260 --> 01:02:58,240
1st 2028. We'll figure that one out. New math. But I have all the, I think guys are looking

692
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:04,120
like a crazy. It's true. It's a bank. It's a bank. They're charging actually lower interest

693
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:09,060
than the lease programs are there by 10. That's one stone vehicles, right? Well, you know,

694
01:03:09,060 --> 01:03:11,520
I'm just kidding. No, they're not, they're not stone vehicles. They're going to be brand new.

695
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:18,860
We're looking at the Ford Explorers, these now come equipped with a police package, the older

696
01:03:18,860 --> 01:03:24,080
Explorers that you have bought many years back, they said they were police packages, they

697
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,460
weren't police packages, so they're going to hold up a little bit differently, so we're looking

698
01:03:27,460 --> 01:03:32,960
at the Explorers, and I don't have the breakdown with me exactly, but I can tell you the cars

699
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:39,520
were about about 190,000, but that's fully equipped with everything, and one thing is the

700
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,240
Manufacturers are living, done as no favors,

701
01:03:42,980 --> 01:03:43,860
because you know every two years

702
01:03:43,860 --> 01:03:45,600
they're changing the body style on these cars.

703
01:03:46,340 --> 01:03:47,520
So we used to be able to take the equipment

704
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,360
and move it from one car to another,

705
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:51,920
and we were good to go, not anymore.

706
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,440
Now it's just, it's trash pretty much when we get it.

707
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,460
So we hope to do as we turn them in,

708
01:03:58,940 --> 01:04:01,120
we sell them back to that dealership,

709
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,520
and then they sell them, and we in turn

710
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,780
get some of that funding back to the city.

711
01:04:05,780 --> 01:04:12,780
So, it's kind of a, it's a, it's a, it's a unique situation we're in now nowadays, you leave from them.

712
01:04:13,980 --> 01:04:19,120
It's what the paperwork shows, but it's really, the new company we're going through is no longer, at least, it's actually a purchase.

713
01:04:19,620 --> 01:04:25,840
So, at the end of the term, we decide whether there be three, four, five years, we purchase that car for one dollar,

714
01:04:26,180 --> 01:04:27,580
and then it's the belongs to the city.

715
01:04:28,300 --> 01:04:29,640
That's the difference in it.

716
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:34,420
where the ones for enterprise, which we brought a couple of years ago, if you remember the enterprise

717
01:04:34,420 --> 01:04:39,820
cars, those are actually lease cars. Now at the end we'll have an opportunity to buy them for

718
01:04:39,820 --> 01:04:45,460
whatever the residual is left on it but it's a little different. This new program we found this

719
01:04:45,460 --> 01:04:52,260
company, they actually do this for law enforcement and they do this, they finance the cars basically

720
01:04:52,260 --> 01:04:56,180
for 30, 3, 4, 5 years, whatever we want to choose.

721
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:58,320
So that's the difference.

722
01:05:00,690 --> 01:05:04,290
I know it looks, it sounds crazy, but if you feel it works, it's strange.

723
01:05:04,930 --> 01:05:09,750
I remember a time you could barely get a vehicle fully equipped for under 100,000.

724
01:05:10,570 --> 01:05:13,330
We're 80, but it's about 80,000 a vehicle right now.

725
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:15,690
Exactly, fully equipped. Yes, sir.

726
01:05:16,570 --> 01:05:20,170
And that's that's six vehicles because it's like it shows like a lease.

727
01:05:20,290 --> 01:05:23,710
You're making a monthly payment basically, one monthly payment a year later.

728
01:05:23,930 --> 01:05:26,170
That makes any sense. Doesn't make any sense to me either.

729
01:05:26,170 --> 01:05:31,610
I support that program, because that's their office, your office who's been in their eight hours

730
01:05:31,610 --> 01:05:35,810
plus, and they need to good be, because they quit them, and so that's what they do.

731
01:05:36,030 --> 01:05:38,590
And that's where they spend their time in that car.

732
01:05:38,910 --> 01:05:42,450
They're very seldom in there, and that's where we're gearing up for, we're actually bringing

733
01:05:42,450 --> 01:05:48,010
in technology in, where the officers are going to be able to, and now we've gone to cradle

734
01:05:48,010 --> 01:05:52,690
points, which I know is just kind of different, you know, stand with those are, but it downloads

735
01:05:52,690 --> 01:05:55,610
the information faster than the car for the officers.

736
01:05:55,610 --> 01:06:03,810
We're getting it to where we're updating our systems so that we can, they officers can actually send the reports from the car to here to the facility here

737
01:06:03,810 --> 01:06:08,770
and it's already in the system when they get here. So it's kind of making things a little bit faster as we can.

738
01:06:12,380 --> 01:06:13,660
Thank you, Mayor Comfort.

739
01:06:14,820 --> 01:06:18,740
I would just like some just for clarification purposes please.

740
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:25,300
These six vehicles if we approved would be purchased.

741
01:06:26,700 --> 01:06:30,620
And for the next four years, we don't need to purchase.

742
01:06:31,700 --> 01:06:36,060
Man, that's going to, our cars, I can tell you there's a lot of cars out there now that

743
01:06:36,060 --> 01:06:39,420
are having over 130, 140,000 miles on them.

744
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:43,380
I would encourage Council to come right along, and you can see some of the cars that the

745
01:06:43,380 --> 01:06:44,840
officers have out there.

746
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:52,420
And the sound is terrible, but the type of driving we are, the officers do a lot harder

747
01:06:52,420 --> 01:06:52,860
driving.

748
01:06:52,860 --> 01:06:56,820
We're not, you know, we don't, not let soccer mom is driving to the, you know, driving

749
01:06:56,820 --> 01:07:01,400
the kid to the soccer games or to the football games or in that these guys are using

750
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,300
these cars and they ride, they drive them hard and that's because they're getting to

751
01:07:05,300 --> 01:07:09,580
emergencies quickly and, you know, we're stopping cars, you got to understand even in a

752
01:07:09,580 --> 01:07:16,140
traffic stop, how fast that car has got to go from 0 to 60 or 0 to 70 is a matter of seconds.

753
01:07:16,860 --> 01:07:22,060
So these cars are hit hard, they're actually punched hard. So they, they are worn out by

754
01:07:22,060 --> 01:07:26,180
we get them and you can see the cars we have this is just a this is a portion of the

755
01:07:26,180 --> 01:07:31,480
fleet that we're replacing again and it's going to be you're going to you'll be replacing

756
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:39,840
fleet every two or three years not according to this that's just numbers for this this set of

757
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:47,820
cars we're replacing gotten 28 29 30 31 I think that's nothing for the next four years

758
01:07:50,380 --> 01:07:52,720
No projection for the next four years.

759
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,380
Yeah, no projection for years, no.

760
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:55,540
That's what she said.

761
01:07:55,580 --> 01:07:56,900
Oh, that's why you're asking that.

762
01:07:58,080 --> 01:07:59,020
Okay, well, that's just some of the things.

763
01:07:59,020 --> 01:08:00,960
The thing for the next four years, you're not going to need to.

764
01:08:00,980 --> 01:08:01,440
Oh, no, man.

765
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:02,380
We'll need to go.

766
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,880
I'll be coming back to you again in a couple of years for more cars.

767
01:08:05,180 --> 01:08:08,300
Because you got to think that the least cars, the 13 least cars.

768
01:08:09,460 --> 01:08:11,960
You see, I wish we had that much.

769
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,080
You got to the least cars that we have 24 months from now,

770
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:22,320
actually going to be coming up. So that's 13 cars that we have to look at replacing or purchasing those 13.

771
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:27,560
What's the difference between vehicles and cars in the market and cars in the market?

772
01:08:27,740 --> 01:08:35,140
So in market as you're a detective cars, we actually have some low profile cars. If you see them out there,

773
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:41,460
the truck, another K9 car that's low profile, those are all your other cars. Because the

774
01:08:41,460 --> 01:08:47,380
They have, now those cars, they last a lot longer because they're driven very differently.

775
01:08:47,580 --> 01:08:48,100
They're not patrol.

776
01:08:48,540 --> 01:08:50,680
They're actually driven very, I mean, they're casual.

777
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,520
I mean, they drive them to calls.

778
01:08:52,740 --> 01:08:55,440
They drive them to where they gotta go, but they're not hard on the cars.

779
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:56,480
So they last a lot longer.

780
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:58,200
So they're gonna last like your personal car.

781
01:08:58,340 --> 01:09:01,280
They may last, you know, six, seven years for a car.

782
01:09:01,480 --> 01:09:03,020
There's a vehicles up the troll vehicles?

783
01:09:03,580 --> 01:09:04,840
Yes sir, those are patrol vehicles.

784
01:09:10,940 --> 01:09:11,480
I'm good.

785
01:09:12,440 --> 01:09:12,640
Good.

786
01:09:13,420 --> 01:09:23,360
So, for me, we call our life, I'm 100% I kind of agree with the mayor, but I think 2% might be a little less.

787
01:09:23,500 --> 01:09:36,520
I would settle for more like 3 to 4, but I know you had on the previous slide at the last workshop, the 3% and there was available possibly for another staff member.

788
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:45,560
If I remember there was like 150 or almost 200,000 left, if we did the 3% for more staff.

789
01:09:46,820 --> 01:09:51,620
Yeah, I think that was 400,000,000 for 3% or 3% pay raise.

790
01:09:52,220 --> 01:09:53,360
It was like 400 something.

791
01:09:53,500 --> 01:09:54,360
Yeah, you had it.

792
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,980
I think it was like about 450 something like that.

793
01:09:56,980 --> 01:09:59,420
Yeah, 450 something and then you had a couple hundred left.

794
01:09:59,580 --> 01:09:59,920
I could possibly.

795
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:05,960
Yeah, there are 300,000 left for employees. If we go with the lower pay raise, that's right.

796
01:10:08,670 --> 01:10:24,330
That would be the mark that I would recommend, not as low as two, but three, maybe four, with an additional staff members, somewhere, or two, partners, where we are short-handed, because we are short-handed in quite a few departments.

797
01:10:25,950 --> 01:10:32,330
Yeah, place and fire, but that would be my only difference up here as I think more than two.

798
01:10:34,870 --> 01:10:35,230
Okay.

799
01:10:38,770 --> 01:10:40,710
I'm just one more question.

800
01:10:41,470 --> 01:10:41,610
Good.

801
01:10:41,850 --> 01:10:42,430
To you, time.

802
01:10:43,730 --> 01:10:47,230
The, well, it's totally different from money per se.

803
01:10:47,790 --> 01:10:52,730
You have a thing here for park sidewalks.

804
01:10:53,090 --> 01:10:54,270
Yes, that's.

805
01:10:54,270 --> 01:10:56,690
And where did that come from?

806
01:10:57,050 --> 01:10:58,230
Well, that is a ongoing program.

807
01:10:58,230 --> 01:11:07,270
there's no sidewalks in the park now and they have sidewalks but they put in

808
01:11:07,270 --> 01:11:14,470
$150,000 of sidewalks this year so it's a multi-year program to get all those sidewalks.

809
01:11:16,770 --> 01:11:20,930
That's what I'm saying they have a trail I'm not talking about. I thought they said they're changing

810
01:11:20,930 --> 01:11:30,640
the concrete to concrete so it lasts longer. Okay, I must have been asleep during that

811
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:36,960
time because I didn't know that. Because I know there's a trail going through there.

812
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:45,060
Okay, all right. Do you plan on putting anything in city park? I don't, oh yes.

813
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:47,640
Okay.

814
01:11:47,640 --> 01:12:03,580
But not out of the 150,000 that's for next year. No, I'm in the future. Okay. I think that I'd almost look at that one. So public works because to me it seems like you're neglecting city park compared to North Park

815
01:12:03,580 --> 01:12:12,500
So he does show 150,000 every year out on this five-year capital. Okay. All right. Thank you

816
01:12:12,500 --> 01:12:13,780
But the priority

817
01:12:14,540 --> 01:12:18,620
for this one 50 is North Park, yes, for every one.

818
01:12:26,140 --> 01:12:30,460
One last question, so if we approve the capital improvements,

819
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:33,980
what I'm thinking about next year's budget?

820
01:12:34,420 --> 01:12:37,400
So how will what is maintenance look like

821
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,920
or how do you see next year's budget being impacted

822
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,280
by this year's purchases?

823
01:12:44,500 --> 01:12:45,980
I know you probably don't have a number,

824
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,460
but just some back, see, like are we anticipating

825
01:12:49,460 --> 01:12:57,540
that we will need to, you know, allocate more funds to sustain some of these big purchases or, you know, just for my background.

826
01:12:59,260 --> 01:13:01,020
So here's a three-in-ation.

827
01:13:01,340 --> 01:13:06,480
I can't answer that completely based on what are budgets going to look like next year and growth.

828
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:10,460
And hopefully our overall cess property value doesn't go down.

829
01:13:10,460 --> 01:13:24,120
But we would adjust every years we go by, so hypothetically, if you approve the items in yellow in the final budget, then the things left out would move over to the next year, and we did just to the right.

830
01:13:25,500 --> 01:13:30,680
And there might be new items that come up, obviously we got to add more police cars in there for year 2-3-5.

831
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:35,840
But I, so it's just, I can't tell you what you like.

832
01:13:37,900 --> 01:13:38,620
Okay.

833
01:13:38,900 --> 01:13:39,020
Okay.

834
01:13:39,020 --> 01:13:39,060
Sorry.

835
01:13:39,340 --> 01:13:39,900
It's okay.

836
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,120
I have what is.

837
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:52,640
It seems that we have had a lot of discussion with other recommendations to the city manager.

838
01:13:53,420 --> 01:13:53,800
Hmm.

839
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:54,780
About this budget.

840
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:00,760
And maybe what we need to do,

841
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:05,100
Since we have asked him so many different things tonight,

842
01:14:06,020 --> 01:14:10,560
that we need to amend this budget and ask him to bring us back,

843
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:17,080
when can we do another budget workshop between now and

844
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,260
September the 19th?

845
01:14:19,940 --> 01:14:22,940
Well, it perfectly is December 15th because that's an

846
01:14:22,940 --> 01:14:37,100
We can do a workshop on the 10th and the afternoon and then and then we can have a, we can bring it on the 14th or 15th one of the two for approval.

847
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,160
You're talking next week.

848
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:40,420
Two weeks.

849
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:41,420
Well, yes sir.

850
01:14:41,480 --> 01:14:42,920
Today is the 10th.

851
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:43,760
We can wait.

852
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:44,940
We can give them time and wait.

853
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:45,940
We can do it on the 14th.

854
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:52,760
Put it on the 14th and then have a workshop on the 14th and then put it on a 15th for approval.

855
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:59,320
the next council meeting and will still be okay with 19th.

856
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:08,000
We had to have a public hearing tonight. Will there need to be another public hearing? Do we have time for that?

857
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:17,240
I don't know. I don't know. I don't think we have to do another public hearing.

858
01:15:17,260 --> 01:15:20,760
You don't have to do another public hearing. You don't have to do another public hearing when you're doing these.

859
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:26,200
The whole point of probably at the beginning of the public hearing is citizens come up. They comment and you make adjustments.

860
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:31,120
Okay, so we make with good with that. Yes, okay, then we can do it on a 14

861
01:15:32,340 --> 01:15:39,020
Again, we can do a workshop on a 14th and then and then and then finalizes get everything out in the open and then

862
01:15:39,020 --> 01:15:40,560
prove it on the 15th

863
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:42,140
Council meeting

864
01:15:42,140 --> 01:15:42,580
Good

865
01:15:42,580 --> 01:15:45,880
There's a lot of I'd like to make a motion that we amend this budget

866
01:15:46,900 --> 01:15:49,600
Post-ponent total and postpone it. Yes, sir

867
01:15:50,900 --> 01:15:53,680
So what is that date September 14th?

868
01:15:53,680 --> 01:16:02,540
You know, we'll have a workshop on the 14 that everybody can make it, 14, then we'll put it on the council for the 15.

869
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,280
We got a meeting already set, 15.

870
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:08,760
There's a motion on the floor.

871
01:16:10,780 --> 01:16:10,960
Okay.

872
01:16:12,380 --> 01:16:17,640
So we'll have a meeting on the 14th with that motion at 12 noon.

873
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:19,820
Okay.

874
01:16:19,820 --> 01:16:27,340
But that give us enough time to, when was the last employee salary study conducted?

875
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,460
They give us enough time to give us.

876
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:34,840
Well, we have enough, we don't, well, we can't go out and pay for a study in a week.

877
01:16:35,140 --> 01:16:37,120
So we're not going to get that, but we have enough data.

878
01:16:38,900 --> 01:16:39,960
So we have lots of data.

879
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:41,480
We can look at where we are.

880
01:16:42,180 --> 01:16:48,180
But, yeah, and I don't know if, I mean, it all comes down to what I'm hearing you say tonight

881
01:16:48,180 --> 01:16:54,740
is don't allocate the whole full 750 to races like I did. So cut that back by approximately

882
01:16:55,660 --> 01:17:03,780
half and then and then okay half and then whatever's left is for you know some new

883
01:17:03,780 --> 01:17:04,340
personnel.

884
01:17:04,480 --> 01:17:08,080
If I'm going to say two percentage from say three, some say so around here.

885
01:17:08,100 --> 01:17:15,620
Yeah, you're going to need to send us. Yeah, because okay we need to see what a 2% we know

886
01:17:15,620 --> 01:17:19,860
what that is, what about a 2.5, and then the 3 we already know?

887
01:17:21,260 --> 01:17:21,360
Right.

888
01:17:21,860 --> 01:17:21,880
Yeah.

889
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:28,340
I could consider a 2.5 Councilwoman Leon rather than a 3.

890
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:33,400
But if you would please Mr. Farmer bring us back those figures,

891
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,180
what would a 2.5 look like?

892
01:17:36,860 --> 01:17:43,900
And what could you do with the 2.5, as far as personnel and capital improvement?

893
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:50,520
Yes, so that really be the only change from what I'm hearing tonight in this proposed

894
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,580
budget the next, because it seems like there's consensus on the capital.

895
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:55,780
Yes, sir, and call it a cola.

896
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:57,580
Well, now I'm talking about the capital.

897
01:17:58,420 --> 01:18:00,220
So, and then that's a good point.

898
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,080
So I want to get to next just to get some clarification, so this has been a good discussion

899
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:04,420
tonight.

900
01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:10,920
So, go to 2.5 for the pay raise, recommend personnel for the difference.

901
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:25,380
I would like to get some clarification and make a recommendation that, when a year ago I heard from the council at that time that they really wanted a merit raises.

902
01:18:26,180 --> 01:18:29,020
And we've worked very hard at that over the year and I totally agree with that.

903
01:18:29,020 --> 01:18:31,180
But concern is how it's done,

904
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:35,080
of the obvious issue that I think some organizations do it

905
01:18:37,380 --> 01:18:40,940
where one person overrides the directors, you know,

906
01:18:40,980 --> 01:18:43,640
and to me that's, that's how it's done.

907
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:45,400
They don't really have that kind of process,

908
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,500
but we have a whole process that we need to find out

909
01:18:47,500 --> 01:18:48,160
of the priorities.

910
01:18:48,420 --> 01:18:51,200
I know review, which it was part of the goal setting,

911
01:18:51,440 --> 01:18:53,240
so all the employees got goal setting,

912
01:18:53,700 --> 01:18:55,380
their direct reports met with them,

913
01:18:55,380 --> 01:18:57,160
and they met halfway through the year process,

914
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:01,440
And we're really at the point where we need to recommend whatever the pay raises.

915
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:08,260
2.5 or if it was 5, we need to recognize the high performers and set it

916
01:19:08,260 --> 01:19:09,420
continue to do the cola.

917
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,540
Because the cola is sort of a slap in the face to the high performers,

918
01:19:13,620 --> 01:19:17,240
where it's 2.5 or 3, whatever the cola is, everybody gets the same.

919
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,220
Well, this guy is an all-star and this person is not.

920
01:19:21,620 --> 01:19:26,140
Well, why should I continue to perform like this when that guy got the same raises me?

921
01:19:26,140 --> 01:19:29,560
So I really recommend, and we already have the set process set up.

922
01:19:29,660 --> 01:19:32,360
We've been setting up for this time over the last year.

923
01:19:33,020 --> 01:19:34,880
So if it's 2.5, that's great.

924
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:39,500
But let's do the Maritory's, you know, pay raise as opposed

925
01:19:39,500 --> 01:19:40,680
to just a cola.

926
01:19:42,380 --> 01:19:42,900
What are we going to have with you?

927
01:19:42,900 --> 01:19:44,700
I would like to say this.

928
01:19:45,180 --> 01:19:46,320
I wasn't here then.

929
01:19:47,020 --> 01:19:50,140
So I would like to know what is the metric that's being used

930
01:19:50,140 --> 01:19:51,620
for this Maritory's.

931
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:53,040
I want to see it.

932
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:53,500
OK.

933
01:19:53,500 --> 01:19:59,940
Well, we'll share it with you, but that it's just your typical annual assessment. It's been going on for a year

934
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:16,080
We did it with goals. But then there's other categories and the employees will be scored by their direct supervisor. Okay. And then at the end of the day, we have everybody in these boxes of where they score and then there's a matrix that sets up what that raise would look like.

935
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:27,540
I want to see it. And then some would get, you know, 1% raise and some of them might get a three, but it averages to the 2.5. We would pass that total amount of dollars, whatever 2.5.

936
01:20:27,540 --> 01:20:32,460
So let's say 2.5 is an even 400,000 for the sake of discussion, okay?

937
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:38,380
We would not surpass that amount because that's equivalent to the 4% so we just

938
01:20:38,380 --> 01:20:43,740
great all the all the all the boys and then we work out that average that fits into

939
01:20:43,740 --> 01:20:49,460
that $250,000 or $400,000 which is 2% or 2.5% excuse me.

940
01:20:49,460 --> 01:20:59,250
I just would not like to see what I've seen in my profession when you give those kinds of

941
01:21:00,480 --> 01:21:02,100
raises, favorites or chosen.

942
01:21:03,440 --> 01:21:04,020
I don't want to say that.

943
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:09,480
The checks and balances in that is if a department here reads every one of his employees

944
01:21:09,480 --> 01:21:10,060
great.

945
01:21:10,540 --> 01:21:11,420
I got super stars.

946
01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:13,560
I got 30 employees and they all walk on water.

947
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:18,980
Okay, well we're still at the max of $400,000 so what you've done is you punish the

948
01:21:18,980 --> 01:21:24,700
through performers, and you've watered down their rays because based on 2.5, let's say the

949
01:21:24,700 --> 01:21:30,640
high performer got a 3, low performer got 1.5, you just watered that down where everybody's

950
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:36,660
going to get close to the same. So that's the checks and balances on that. So we're not going

951
01:21:36,660 --> 01:21:42,740
to go over the 400,000 and I've said to give this a piece of any time. So you can rate everybody

952
01:21:42,740 --> 01:21:49,020
They walk on water and be dishonest about it, but then you're watering down the real performers

953
01:21:49,020 --> 01:21:53,360
and their rays for being an exceptional employee.

954
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:55,460
But we'll show you that.

955
01:21:55,500 --> 01:21:57,500
Okay, I would have to be transparent.

956
01:21:57,820 --> 01:21:58,660
Yeah, I understand.

957
01:21:59,060 --> 01:22:03,620
And I actually recommend maybe at that workshop on the 14th stage, our director and I can show

958
01:22:03,620 --> 01:22:06,380
you what that process looks like too.

959
01:22:07,220 --> 01:22:07,240
Yeah.

960
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:08,840
I think that would be helpful.

961
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:17,220
If we could also understand how many of our employees are under, well, I guess maybe it's

962
01:22:17,220 --> 01:22:24,580
a copy of the compensation strategy or but ultimately how many of our employees are under

963
01:22:24,580 --> 01:22:29,940
market and what would it take them to get to the market rate because that's probably a part

964
01:22:29,940 --> 01:22:36,860
of that city and plan. But both employees are important to me, the higher performing employees

965
01:22:36,860 --> 01:22:41,120
important and the underpaid employee that should be getting paid.

966
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:41,800
Well that's right.

967
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:42,760
I want to brought that up.

968
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:47,400
So when we do the Maritorious raise, we actually look at where you are, if you're a

969
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:52,540
above midpoint, where you're competitive with other people in your field and the people

970
01:22:52,540 --> 01:22:57,180
that are not competitive and they're paid and are woefully underpaid compared to their peers

971
01:22:57,180 --> 01:22:57,860
in other cities.

972
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,000
So we call that midpoint.

973
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:03,040
If you're below midpoint, you're not competitive and if you're above midpoint, you're

974
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:19,040
competitive. So we cross layer the the the annual assessment with where you are, whether you're above midpoint and below midpoint. And so the point is we always like to get the people below midpoint up to midpoint as fast as fast as fast as possible.

975
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:24,940
And then the people above midpoint, they're, quote, paid healthy and

976
01:23:24,940 --> 01:23:27,520
competition, so they don't need as much of a raise.

977
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:33,520
That's why last year, when we did the cola, we did three and a half percent for

978
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:36,680
people above midpoint, six for people above, so.

979
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:37,680
No, that's a couple of extra.

980
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:43,400
And I have been a part of organizations that have given significant increases, but

981
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,080
that's to bring positions up to market rates.

982
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:52,240
So I understand, but yeah, when I hear merit, I think specifically performance space and to

983
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:57,000
me, maybe it's just my understanding of it, but that's different than bringing somebody

984
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:02,460
up to the rate that they deserve based on market and not performance.

985
01:24:02,980 --> 01:24:07,100
Yeah, we want to make sure those people that we get up are high performers that they

986
01:24:07,100 --> 01:24:10,500
deserve more to get up, maybe they belong in point.

987
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:11,660
Somebody above.

988
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,000
So we're taking a consideration with your talk.

989
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:14,640
Okay.

990
01:24:15,300 --> 01:24:21,300
And when you do the pay raise, are you doing the inverted model where we're, because when

991
01:24:21,300 --> 01:24:26,940
you give across the board, 5% to an employee's only making 40,000 versus 5% to someone's

992
01:24:26,940 --> 01:24:34,180
making 150,000 or 20,000 is a lot different and it just gets separation, it just gets worse

993
01:24:34,180 --> 01:24:39,640
and more eight cog, because I'm on the board of directors, they fixed that to where, to where

994
01:24:40,220 --> 01:24:49,500
He makes so much, he's only going to get so much percentage versus a person that's below to prevent that from happening to prevent that gap from getting wider and wider.

995
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:55,780
Yeah, the only issue with that is even some of it that makes 140,000.

996
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:59,680
They are still half-camps of.

997
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:21,660
Other people in that same position for other cities, and we don't want them to fall below midpoint. Just because they make a very healthy pay, you know, there's still, just because that number has six digits in it, doesn't mean we can't keep, we don't want to make, we want to make sure they're competitive with the other people that they compete against in other cities that do that exact same job.

998
01:25:21,660 --> 01:25:25,560
So, but all cities are different economically.

999
01:25:26,220 --> 01:25:26,820
Oh, yeah.

1000
01:25:26,820 --> 01:25:27,000
I understand.

1001
01:25:27,300 --> 01:25:27,720
I understand.

1002
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:28,360
Yes.

1003
01:25:32,950 --> 01:25:37,010
It sounds to me like, there's been a compensation study done.

1004
01:25:37,410 --> 01:25:37,930
Who was?

1005
01:25:38,310 --> 01:25:39,730
There was several years ago.

1006
01:25:40,890 --> 01:25:42,130
Was the last one that was done.

1007
01:25:42,450 --> 01:25:43,870
Will you bring that place?

1008
01:25:44,450 --> 01:25:45,410
I'd like to see that.

1009
01:25:46,150 --> 01:25:47,910
Because that would show.

1010
01:25:52,410 --> 01:25:52,550
Yeah.

1011
01:25:52,550 --> 01:25:59,170
positions, it would show salary, what the market value is, what the market value is, what

1012
01:25:59,170 --> 01:26:04,930
the midpoint is, and what they're actually making. Wouldn't it?

1013
01:26:05,210 --> 01:26:09,430
I'm assuming I wasn't here when it was done, but we have more salary studies have that,

1014
01:26:09,430 --> 01:26:11,070
so I imagine it's to some degree.

1015
01:26:11,590 --> 01:26:18,470
You still have that, right? Where you had the low mid and high on every employee here.

1016
01:26:19,050 --> 01:26:24,670
Yeah, we did that, and it's another thing too, we could make that available to all the council

1017
01:26:24,670 --> 01:26:32,650
whether they're liberating on the paid to as well so they can see, because there's a difference of opinion when you say they're low versus when we see it,

1018
01:26:33,270 --> 01:26:38,510
that's what happened in the past too, you know, it was a big difference in opinion.

1019
01:26:39,790 --> 01:26:44,930
You know, well they said they weren't alone, we thought they were, it's just very many different ways, but

1020
01:26:44,930 --> 01:26:45,590
When was that?

1021
01:26:46,070 --> 01:26:46,890
You had a problem?

1022
01:26:46,950 --> 01:26:47,230
Yeah, probably.

1023
01:26:47,470 --> 01:26:50,550
I've been in many years ago, but it's kept up every year.

1024
01:26:50,930 --> 01:26:55,730
But I started back in, and it's about three or four years, okay?

1025
01:26:55,750 --> 01:26:57,530
No, I just kept on going.

1026
01:26:58,230 --> 01:27:04,130
We started back in 2012, 13, and it was just kept using it.

1027
01:27:04,370 --> 01:27:07,790
We had a problem one time when a city manager wasn't using it correctly.

1028
01:27:12,890 --> 01:27:14,530
It's got behind on that time.

1029
01:27:14,990 --> 01:27:17,470
But I think the latest version is about three or four years old.

1030
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:22,010
Yeah, the latest version is three-four years old, and it has a word where every employee,

1031
01:27:22,110 --> 01:27:27,430
their position has as low mid and high and what you're getting right now, and you'll be able

1032
01:27:27,430 --> 01:27:34,190
to see what everybody's getting right now, by position, and that's the document that we need.

1033
01:27:34,850 --> 01:27:38,310
Now, do you get it, I think, has to be protected because it's privacy.

1034
01:27:40,290 --> 01:27:45,310
There's a question on that one though, because I remember it was in 2023, and it wasn't that

1035
01:27:45,310 --> 01:27:49,110
document made to catch them up to the 2023 rate?

1036
01:27:49,810 --> 01:27:52,310
Yeah, when we first started it, when we used to start it, when Ronnie was

1037
01:27:52,310 --> 01:27:55,770
see that, I was idea eight, eight, and it was to catch them up to the

1038
01:27:55,770 --> 01:27:57,810
pay rate of 2023. So, technically.

1039
01:27:57,810 --> 01:28:01,930
Well, to get everybody to the mid, and that's what happened last year,

1040
01:28:02,330 --> 01:28:04,110
the last 30 years, which was last year.

1041
01:28:04,330 --> 01:28:08,590
But was that also accounting for the additional increases for the three

1042
01:28:08,590 --> 01:28:12,150
years that they were getting the raises on top of it?

1043
01:28:12,150 --> 01:28:21,330
Yeah, because it started three years ago, and this was the 30 years last year, before he left,

1044
01:28:22,310 --> 01:28:23,510
we need to go over.

1045
01:28:24,250 --> 01:28:28,410
That's why I was six and three because we had gotten past the eight.

1046
01:28:28,750 --> 01:28:34,730
We were at 16%, and we knew it was going to be, it was going to be between 16 and 20,

1047
01:28:36,190 --> 01:28:40,410
and that's why we're at, and it's actually ended up 22%.

1048
01:28:41,690 --> 01:28:44,810
When the document is shared, can you also share context

1049
01:28:45,410 --> 01:28:49,130
because if that was completed three, four years ago,

1050
01:28:49,770 --> 01:28:52,510
and we had multiple raises of the years,

1051
01:28:52,970 --> 01:28:57,130
then we won't know necessarily who technically

1052
01:28:57,130 --> 01:29:01,070
or what positions are still under market.

1053
01:29:01,770 --> 01:29:03,770
So, and now that probably will take time,

1054
01:29:05,310 --> 01:29:07,870
but yeah, whatever context you can provide will be held.

1055
01:29:08,270 --> 01:29:10,390
Yeah, Kira can do a great job with that.

1056
01:29:10,390 --> 01:29:19,050
who do that. Thank you. Okay, so at the 14th and you'll get a packet before then, but on the

1057
01:29:19,050 --> 01:29:27,190
fort before the workshop on the 14th, I'm going to change it from 5% to 2.5% and then add extra

1058
01:29:27,190 --> 01:29:32,510
personnel based on what's left over. And then I'm keeping the capital as it is, so that should be

1059
01:29:32,510 --> 01:29:38,830
the only significant change, which will be any one easy change. So our changes. One more question,

1060
01:29:38,830 --> 01:29:44,670
ambulance remount didn't we do that before chief politics we did we have one in this year's budget

1061
01:29:44,670 --> 01:29:52,470
That's right when I said or do it what's that you do it right what they have there it's being done

1062
01:29:53,590 --> 01:29:58,870
But we ask you for it again 20. Yes, yeah, because there's another ambulance that needs to be okay

1063
01:29:58,870 --> 01:29:59,950
So we're doing another one

1064
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,780
The second year in a row.

1065
01:30:03,460 --> 01:30:07,000
I just want to make sure we weren't talking about the last few years.

1066
01:30:07,660 --> 01:30:09,900
Yeah, this is the second year in a row.

1067
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,580
Okay, you got all the facts.

1068
01:30:13,420 --> 01:30:26,000
Well, we'll just defer this action to the 15th of September and we'll have a workshop on the 14th at noon.

1069
01:30:26,380 --> 01:30:27,400
So no action tonight?

1070
01:30:27,440 --> 01:30:29,180
No action tonight and not ready for action.

1071
01:30:30,100 --> 01:30:31,860
Thank you for all the input.

1072
01:30:33,020 --> 01:30:34,640
Thank you everybody for the input.

1073
01:30:40,380 --> 01:30:40,420
Okay.

1074
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:42,060
Item B.

1075
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:43,800
Discussion for Reaction.

1076
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,340
Requests to be zone 24.538.

1077
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:48,480
You're properly located at the southwest corner.

1078
01:30:48,620 --> 01:30:50,220
Where's the green road in Bainock Drive?

1079
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:53,200
Part of the property with property ID 619-038.

1080
01:30:54,300 --> 01:30:57,540
From our six-ingle family district to B-2-Etoid district.

1081
01:30:58,020 --> 01:31:00,100
Community Development Director, City Manager.

1082
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:02,080
Good evening, Mayor.

1083
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:06,180
and City Council. I'm Henry Couch, the Development Services Director.

1084
01:31:07,480 --> 01:31:15,520
This property is located at the Southwest corner of where Seguine Road and Bona Drive.

1085
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:26,640
You can see on the location map here, the total property is about 24 to 25 acres and it's

1086
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:34,060
part of this property that is at the corner here, at the edge of our city limit with the city of shirts.

1087
01:31:35,460 --> 01:31:45,060
The current zoning is our six single family, small lot district, and for this first item that is in regards to this property,

1088
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:50,420
it is a proposed rezoning to be to retail district.

1089
01:31:51,340 --> 01:32:04,860
The Comprehensive Plan recommends a low-density residential designation for this property, but we'll get into why the rezoning is being requested.

1090
01:32:07,020 --> 01:32:12,540
So this item, this rezoning request, is in combination with the next item, which is a special use permit request.

1091
01:32:12,540 --> 01:32:24,620
That special use permit request is part of the full application for a development of a warehouse and storage development at this property.

1092
01:32:25,100 --> 01:32:32,320
The property is located within an accident potential zone of Randolph Air Force Base.

1093
01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:39,840
It's almost completely within an accident potential zone one, a very small corner is an accident potential zone two.

1094
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:46,120
Because of that designation, the allowable uses on the property are very limited.

1095
01:32:47,140 --> 01:32:54,500
Notably, residential development is not permitted except for the Air Force

1096
01:32:54,500 --> 01:33:01,280
does allow up to one home to be built on this size of property.

1097
01:33:01,980 --> 01:33:08,460
So for every 25 acres of property one home could be built, that is the maximum residential

1098
01:33:08,460 --> 01:33:14,140
development that could go on this property. And that's why, that's a leading reason why this

1099
01:33:14,140 --> 01:33:21,020
rezoning is being proposed. The intent of the combined rezoning and special use permit is

1100
01:33:21,020 --> 01:33:27,420
to designate this property as a commercial base district so that the following special use permit

1101
01:33:27,420 --> 01:33:36,000
has a commercial oriented regulation as its base district for development of the property.

1102
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:40,580
Because the current zoning is residential, those

1103
01:33:40,580 --> 01:33:44,440
area regulations are tailored to a residential

1104
01:33:44,440 --> 01:33:45,920
development as opposed to commercial.

1105
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:54,220
This subject property is located at the corner

1106
01:33:54,220 --> 01:33:56,280
of where Sagan and Bainig.

1107
01:33:56,740 --> 01:33:58,580
It's currently an agricultural property.

1108
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:04,260
It is surrounded by vacant land to the north.

1109
01:34:04,540 --> 01:34:06,200
That is in a city of shirts.

1110
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:17,380
There is agriculture uses to the west and then single family homes in our city to the south and outside of our city in the shirts to the east.

1111
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:35,040
Because of that accident potential zone designation, this property is actually also part of an easement agreement with Greenspaces Alliance of South Texas, which is a subsidiary of joint base in Antonio.

1112
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:43,820
and that easement covers the entire property and limits the maximum impervious surface that

1113
01:34:43,820 --> 01:34:52,880
can be developed on this property to 15% of the total area and that area equates to about

1114
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:58,600
3.5 acres. So with those limited uses and the limits of

1115
01:34:58,600 --> 01:34:59,220
developable area.

1116
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:03,820
The potential development of this property is very limited.

1117
01:35:05,580 --> 01:35:14,760
You may remember that this property was the subject of a previous rezoning request that was brought to the planning and zoning commission,

1118
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:17,840
but it was actually withdrawn before it reached City Council.

1119
01:35:18,260 --> 01:35:22,960
That request was for I1 light industrial district.

1120
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:29,340
Since that request, that was in September of last year, the applicant has returned with

1121
01:35:29,340 --> 01:35:35,760
this combined SUP and rezoning request, which suits the properties possible uses while

1122
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:42,540
taking taking into account those nearby residential properties, and because this is in combination

1123
01:35:42,540 --> 01:35:48,900
with a special use permit, we will get into the buffering and things we're doing to protect

1124
01:35:48,900 --> 01:35:52,280
those residents in the next item, which is the special use

1125
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:55,610
for my item, which comes with conditions and things like that.

1126
01:35:57,860 --> 01:36:01,260
Like I mentioned, the rezoning of this property from our

1127
01:36:01,260 --> 01:36:05,460
sixth district to B2 retail would mean that the base district

1128
01:36:05,460 --> 01:36:09,360
would be tailored to commercial development as opposed to

1129
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:13,960
residential development. The restrictions set by joint base

1130
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:23,160
Antonio and the easement limit those permitted uses so that the actual uses allowed by the

1131
01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:31,760
B2 district rezoning would not actually add any permitted uses, which I know that sounds odd.

1132
01:36:31,920 --> 01:36:40,760
The intention is just to change the area regulations, which includes setbacks and structure size

1133
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:50,200
and things like that. Because of the easement, only a warehouse and storage use and that single

1134
01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:58,580
residential lot use or an open space use would be permitted in that easement. So, uses

1135
01:36:58,580 --> 01:37:06,360
in B2 themselves would actually not be allowed. I hope I'm making that clear that just the

1136
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:14,260
Regulations in B2, only the area, only the area regulations and structure size, regulations

1137
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:20,840
would apply in the end, the use regulations would not carry over because of that easement.

1138
01:37:23,420 --> 01:37:27,340
This rezoning item was brought to the planning and zoning commission at the most recent meeting

1139
01:37:27,340 --> 01:37:33,580
and the commission recommended approval of the rezoning request with a vote of six to one.

1140
01:37:33,580 --> 01:37:39,200
Like I said, this is in combination with the special use permit, but we will get to that at the next item.

1141
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:45,900
The applicant is present if you have any questions for them and I stand by for any questions at this time as well.

1142
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:50,160
So will we clear the Randolph on all the the APZs?

1143
01:37:50,620 --> 01:38:00,280
Yes, so Randolph or actually Green Space is Alliance who holds the easement as a subsidiary of Randolph has given their approval letter.

1144
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:06,900
But that letter has been provided in Seattle and Yale's packet that shows that the air force

1145
01:38:06,900 --> 01:38:14,200
as well as the green space of the lines have given their approval for the use of warehouse

1146
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:15,660
and storage on that property.

1147
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:16,220
Okay.

1148
01:38:16,340 --> 01:38:20,900
I want to remind the council in 2014, all of the cities got to get it, which Randolph,

1149
01:38:21,140 --> 01:38:25,420
Joy Beings, San Antonio, came up with all his rules, APZ, one and two.

1150
01:38:25,420 --> 01:38:29,660
And that, in fact, we stopped on a car to park from expanding on right there and then

1151
01:38:29,660 --> 01:38:40,280
as well to protect the rival departure of runaway 1, 5, and 3, 3, 3 left so that that's what

1152
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:44,380
if they needed to dump the aircraft, we're taking off from the landing and we have space and

1153
01:38:44,380 --> 01:38:49,420
that's what it's for, that could be kept clear. And we would further with a cog, a cog got

1154
01:38:49,420 --> 01:38:56,420
a grant from the governor 2.4 million and we borrowed a lot of property so we can keep it clear

1155
01:38:56,420 --> 01:39:00,800
for Randolph. So we are, we are our signers to that we did a city council

1156
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:05,840
bit of proof of all the requirements and administrations in 2017.

1157
01:39:08,860 --> 01:39:14,380
And before you go on, I also need to add that 35 notices were mailed to the properties

1158
01:39:14,380 --> 01:39:26,520
within two energy of this property and two responses were received in opposition to the

1159
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:27,400
And

1160
01:39:29,990 --> 01:39:31,670
those were only cumbers.

1161
01:39:32,890 --> 01:39:36,090
Yes, those were both residents of Congress.

1162
01:39:42,470 --> 01:39:45,950
Did by chance the six to one, did the one say why?

1163
01:39:46,270 --> 01:39:47,130
They voted no.

1164
01:39:47,670 --> 01:39:52,490
There was not a reason given with the opposition.

1165
01:39:55,900 --> 01:39:58,240
What kind of warehouses it going to be?

1166
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:07,500
That's probably a question for the next item, but the applicant is actually the applicant can speak on what is.

1167
01:40:07,500 --> 01:40:17,480
On his desk, you proposed what they're intending to show as the facade, they'd be able to speak on what they intend to build.

1168
01:40:19,480 --> 01:40:20,360
And we can bring them up there.

1169
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:25,840
Okay, questions on

1170
01:40:28,050 --> 01:40:28,590
item B.

1171
01:40:28,590 --> 01:40:37,830
question, what was, what is EDC's perspective on this? Has I do really value, you know,

1172
01:40:38,030 --> 01:40:45,830
we really rely on them for economic development and their strategic perspective, but

1173
01:40:45,830 --> 01:40:49,150
any thoughts forward there thoughts on this reasoning?

1174
01:40:49,650 --> 01:40:56,810
We didn't receive a like a tax assessment on this property as it is it is vacant and agricultural

1175
01:40:56,810 --> 01:41:12,150
So we're not collecting much tax off of it, but our EC director is here and I will speak on just what we can expect with a new development on this property.

1176
01:41:13,070 --> 01:41:16,630
But again, that question might be better asked during the SUP item.

1177
01:41:16,910 --> 01:41:23,110
This resounding essentially only changes the area regulations for this property.

1178
01:41:23,830 --> 01:41:27,950
And do we need to vote on this now before we go on to the next?

1179
01:41:28,070 --> 01:41:30,610
Yeah, because you can't do the second one without the first one.

1180
01:41:32,290 --> 01:41:34,970
I mean, you can.

1181
01:41:35,030 --> 01:41:35,490
Can you please?

1182
01:41:35,490 --> 01:41:35,650
Can you please?

1183
01:41:37,590 --> 01:41:46,430
It's just helps improve the conditions for the HTTP for residents in my opinion.

1184
01:41:46,610 --> 01:41:47,970
And they gotta be done separately.

1185
01:41:47,970 --> 01:41:53,070
So we can have discussion and vote on it?

1186
01:41:53,310 --> 01:41:57,970
No, you can have discussion and defer we can wait.

1187
01:41:59,730 --> 01:42:01,090
What about asking?

1188
01:42:02,270 --> 01:42:03,270
Well, that's going to be discussion.

1189
01:42:03,490 --> 01:42:06,250
I was going to think is our way first to get the question answered

1190
01:42:06,250 --> 01:42:10,110
without discussion before we vote.

1191
01:42:10,110 --> 01:42:11,810
I agree. How can you?

1192
01:42:13,570 --> 01:42:16,470
So yes or no, if you don't know what it really wants.

1193
01:42:17,230 --> 01:42:22,630
Yeah, we can get the briefing on this one and just we'll just start foot to the next one.

1194
01:42:22,810 --> 01:42:23,510
Go ahead and go to the next one.

1195
01:42:23,610 --> 01:42:23,890
Absolutely, yes.

1196
01:42:24,210 --> 01:42:26,270
I can give a briefing.

1197
01:42:26,590 --> 01:42:31,330
I mean, I can go ahead and get the presentation for the SHP item as well.

1198
01:42:32,590 --> 01:42:34,350
That's no problem with me.

1199
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:45,300
Go ahead and I am seeing a special introduction on a special use permit request for 24.538.

1200
01:42:45,300 --> 01:42:47,720
to properly locate it to Southwest corner.

1201
01:42:48,100 --> 01:42:50,400
We're seeking road-manage drive part of the property

1202
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:55,020
with property ID 619-038 with a use for warehouse

1203
01:42:55,020 --> 01:42:56,800
and storage go ahead.

1204
01:42:57,180 --> 01:42:57,480
All right.

1205
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:01,260
So this item is for the special use permit

1206
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:07,040
because the base district that would be applied

1207
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:10,320
that B2 district or as it stands, the R6 district

1208
01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:19,840
because those uses listed in those districts are not permitted by the easement on this area.

1209
01:43:20,380 --> 01:43:28,340
A special use permit would have to be applied to this property to allow for the uses that are allowed by the easement.

1210
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:36,920
So, for the special use permit request, they are requesting the use of warehouse and storage,

1211
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:45,620
because these are two of the very few uses allowed on the property by the conservation easement.

1212
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:52,080
The other uses include no more than one single family residents of the webling, like I mentioned,

1213
01:43:53,380 --> 01:43:55,500
recreational parks and open spaces.

1214
01:43:55,740 --> 01:43:59,380
And that is the extent of the uses that are permitted on this property.

1215
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:09,160
Because the property abuts residences, this SUP is being brought forward with a condition

1216
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:16,760
that imposes a 250-foot vegetated buffer between the existing residences there in the will of

1217
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:26,600
use of the vision as shown on the conceptual plan here on the screen, that would be a vegetated

1218
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:34,040
buffer that is reviewed and approved by staff to ensure that it is a full visual buffer

1219
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:40,840
and that the vegetation there is permitted by the Air Force as well to ensure there's

1220
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:48,160
not increased birds flying over the landing area as well.

1221
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:54,540
In addition to that 250 foot vegetated buffer, a 50 foot buffer is also proposed on Baynick

1222
01:44:54,540 --> 01:44:59,600
drive which would have a visual barrier for those

1223
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:09,160
Residents in shirts as well. In addition, there is an existing stub out in the Willow View subdivision.

1224
01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:21,700
There's a dead-end street there. This SUP would set aside a 50-foot right-of-weight dedication to the west

1225
01:45:21,700 --> 01:45:28,180
of this property to allow an extension of that road should that neighborhood be developed further,

1226
01:45:28,180 --> 01:45:39,100
because that open space area would still be zoned residential, and it would be outside of the APZ so it could be developed without those restrictions.

1227
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:55,200
The legislative buffer, as a note, would also be extended if those residences are developed in that open space area to ensure that the same protection is given to future homes if that is developed.

1228
01:45:56,780 --> 01:46:06,860
Based on staff analysis, the use of warehouse and storage is the highest in best use of the property given those restrictions by the Air Force and the conservation easement.

1229
01:46:07,180 --> 01:46:20,900
Approving this best use permit would ensure that that highest and best use is able to be developed, but it would also protect those residences that are there by imposing that buffer between the warehouse and storage and the residences.

1230
01:46:20,900 --> 01:46:28,840
the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the SUP and recommend it approval with a vote of five to two.

1231
01:46:30,820 --> 01:46:34,800
I stand by for any questions about this as well, and the applicant has a presentation.

1232
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:38,960
If you'd like to hear that, I can answer questions at any time.

1233
01:46:39,980 --> 01:46:43,220
Just one question, somewhere to Councilman Adams.

1234
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:51,240
I didn't have a chance to watch the Planning and Zoning, but can you give a high level of the two that impose while we're there reservations?

1235
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:59,700
And generally from what I can remember, it would just the development at all on the property

1236
01:47:00,410 --> 01:47:04,380
would be a nuisance to the existing residences.

1237
01:47:05,220 --> 01:47:08,440
I mean, that's generally what it is.

1238
01:47:08,740 --> 01:47:16,220
They prefer to stay as vacant property as opposed to being developed for the benefit of

1239
01:47:16,220 --> 01:47:17,120
the residences.

1240
01:47:17,300 --> 01:47:18,240
Thank you.

1241
01:47:20,870 --> 01:47:27,870
I appreciate the buffer. I appreciate your work that you're doing. I set this to your early and we really appreciate that face stepping up

1242
01:47:28,330 --> 01:47:33,270
But I do appreciate this buffer and that you're putting there to support our neighboring city

1243
01:47:33,270 --> 01:47:37,670
So I think that was really really nice and you and then you are able to

1244
01:47:38,530 --> 01:47:41,870
Show them that we're thinking about them. So that is great

1245
01:47:44,550 --> 01:47:50,050
And councilwoman Hannah asked my question. I did want to know what those two were

1246
01:47:50,870 --> 01:47:52,530
Thanks, absolutely.

1247
01:47:53,110 --> 01:47:56,730
I just want to let the council know that those houses right now I'm waiting and that whole

1248
01:47:56,730 --> 01:47:59,330
subdivision would build by San Antonio before we took over.

1249
01:48:00,530 --> 01:48:06,230
Good enough. They weren't as nice as we are having a buffer.

1250
01:48:07,370 --> 01:48:09,870
All these houses, as they were put up in San Antonio.

1251
01:48:11,310 --> 01:48:12,550
Those are the ones in the flight path.

1252
01:48:14,150 --> 01:48:15,470
That's like the crash.

1253
01:48:15,930 --> 01:48:17,290
No, they're not.

1254
01:48:28,340 --> 01:48:31,600
Yeah, we'll bring up the applicant. That's all right.

1255
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:34,280
We can do the brief. Yeah, give their information.

1256
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:36,640
Along first.

1257
01:48:36,860 --> 01:48:37,300
Along first.

1258
01:48:37,460 --> 01:48:38,480
Thank you.

1259
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:49,400
Good evening Mayor.

1260
01:48:49,580 --> 01:48:50,080
City Council.

1261
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:52,520
A long boundary economic development director.

1262
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:54,520
In short,

1263
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:58,800
Henry covered most every detail that you guys need to know.

1264
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:03,000
But taking away even the considerations that occur due to the

1265
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,940
the Air Force Base and the requirements from that.

1266
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:12,140
This is a very difficult corner for retail and commercial.

1267
01:49:13,020 --> 01:49:15,520
It's pretty far back away from everything as it stands.

1268
01:49:16,480 --> 01:49:20,920
And so any viable commercial developments become difficult in this area, the required traffic

1269
01:49:20,920 --> 01:49:21,600
to stores.

1270
01:49:22,500 --> 01:49:27,500
The given all the regulatory environment that exists around it and limitations on what can

1271
01:49:27,500 --> 01:49:27,980
be developed.

1272
01:49:27,980 --> 01:49:31,960
I think that what's being proposed is probably the highest and best used for this area.

1273
01:49:33,060 --> 01:49:38,400
The applicant came in and met with the community development director independently and

1274
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:43,100
myself independently and then with us together to discuss what options or opportunities might

1275
01:49:43,100 --> 01:49:47,880
exist or what concerns that we as staff might have in regards to the development that they were

1276
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:54,320
proposing and the conditions that Henry has presented reflect those conversations.

1277
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:59,920
one of the primary things that we discussed was being that we're housing and outdoor.

1278
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:19,940
Your storage in that area is probably the highest and best use. One of the things that we wanted to have considered was buffering visual buffering so that if there were, you know, whatever might be stored out there, might have a visual buffer for the residents as they pass by, so it wouldn't have any detrimental effects there.

1279
01:50:19,940 --> 01:50:26,360
Also, the applicant came back after our initial conversations and talking about building and building quality,

1280
01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:33,340
because part of what we're really trying to move towards within the city of Congress is enhanced and improved quality development.

1281
01:50:34,020 --> 01:50:40,260
They came back with buildings that reflect a much higher level of development.

1282
01:50:40,660 --> 01:50:45,360
So, it was very appreciative that appreciative of how to act to see what the applicant brought forward.

1283
01:50:46,100 --> 01:50:52,220
The quality and types of buildings it would be that are being proposed here, assuming that they're developed in this fashion.

1284
01:50:52,980 --> 01:50:57,740
What they're being proposed tend to last longer and maintain appearance over the long run.

1285
01:50:58,160 --> 01:51:06,370
Sometimes you may have buildings that are built that are metal buildings.

1286
01:51:07,410 --> 01:51:16,010
And when you have warehouse, they can get bumped and hit by the trucks that are unloading and loading and those types of things over the years.

1287
01:51:16,010 --> 01:51:17,950
lower the quality and the look of the buildings.

1288
01:51:18,490 --> 01:51:20,930
What this app can is proposing is a much higher quality building.

1289
01:51:21,670 --> 01:51:23,730
So I could host them for what they're

1290
01:51:23,730 --> 01:51:26,010
how they responded to staff's input.

1291
01:51:26,870 --> 01:51:28,130
But at the end of the day, I can honestly,

1292
01:51:28,230 --> 01:51:30,190
I think this is the highest and the best use that

1293
01:51:30,190 --> 01:51:32,130
they can be done on this piece of land.

1294
01:51:33,170 --> 01:51:33,490
Thank you.

1295
01:51:33,690 --> 01:51:34,170
Thank you questions.

1296
01:51:34,510 --> 01:51:35,190
Thank you, sir.

1297
01:51:36,670 --> 01:51:41,790
Respectively, I respect what Elana is saying,

1298
01:51:42,610 --> 01:51:44,250
but he knows what it looks like.

1299
01:51:44,250 --> 01:51:48,350
But we can we see a visual of what it looks like.

1300
01:51:50,710 --> 01:51:57,250
I believe the applicant's presentation has an image of the expected development.

1301
01:51:58,390 --> 01:52:02,630
So if we can bring that up and bring that presentation up as well.

1302
01:52:02,930 --> 01:52:03,130
Thank you.

1303
01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:14,960
Good evening Mayor, council members.

1304
01:52:15,380 --> 01:52:16,400
My name is Daniel Ortiz.

1305
01:52:16,540 --> 01:52:18,980
I'm here on behalf of the applicant property owner.

1306
01:52:20,480 --> 01:52:25,900
frankly, Mr. Couch and your EDC director stole a lot of my thunder. So I do have a brief

1307
01:52:25,900 --> 01:52:29,720
PowerPoint presentation as was already mentioned. I'll try to go through it quickly, a lot

1308
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:35,700
of it's going to be repeat. But some of it is worth emphasizing. As was already noted, items

1309
01:52:35,700 --> 01:52:41,400
9B, which is just sort of changing the base zoning to something more compatible with all

1310
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:46,780
everything going on around us, which I'll get back to in a minute. And then item 9C, they're jointly

1311
01:52:46,780 --> 01:52:52,360
together. It's all going to walk my presentation is to cover both items at one time.

1312
01:52:55,540 --> 01:53:00,200
Having said that, the first thing is Councilman you alluded to and maybe you did as well.

1313
01:53:00,820 --> 01:53:07,360
I want to make clear that the SUP in particular that's in front of you is literally the result

1314
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:16,320
of over a year of conversations and probably half a dozen changes, significant changes to

1315
01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:21,120
to the site plan. So there was a lot of time and energy that city staff put into this.

1316
01:53:21,420 --> 01:53:26,100
I'll tell you, they represented city council and the city well.

1317
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:31,360
As was already noted, the property is roughly 24 and a half acres.

1318
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:36,460
It's literally at your city limit at the intersection of where's the gain and bane egg.

1319
01:53:37,100 --> 01:53:42,640
What I want to point out on this particular area, though, is at the top of the screen, is the air force base, right?

1320
01:53:42,640 --> 01:53:46,460
in particular that this property is right in the flight path

1321
01:53:46,460 --> 01:53:50,180
for that Air Force Base, that looms large,

1322
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:52,240
in this particular set of circumstances.

1323
01:53:53,840 --> 01:53:57,660
Background on how we got here and the project itself.

1324
01:53:58,180 --> 01:54:01,060
It is currently zoned single family,

1325
01:54:02,040 --> 01:54:05,100
which is inconsistent, the base zoning, single family,

1326
01:54:05,260 --> 01:54:07,540
which is inconsistent with the fact

1327
01:54:07,540 --> 01:54:10,740
that the property is in the accident potential zone one.

1328
01:54:10,740 --> 01:54:22,060
So APZ-1, it's also in a conservation easement that runs in favor of the Air Force that is enforced by green spaces alliance as an Israel couch emphasized.

1329
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:38,540
So bottom line item 9B is to remove the residential because it's wholly incompatible with everything that has been done in the past to protect the Air Force base and change it to a B2 retail use.

1330
01:54:39,240 --> 01:54:45,560
It's a theoretical use because as Mr. Couch mentioned that conservation easement even goes

1331
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:52,200
further and limits other uses so it really can't even be used for most if not all traditional

1332
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:57,740
commercial and retail uses but the bottom line is changing the base zoning district to

1333
01:54:57,740 --> 01:54:59,440
away from single-family residential.

1334
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:09,280
Not compatible with being in the flight path. Getting to councilwoman your questions. The actual

1335
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:16,040
SUP that's in front of you again will implement a lot of the discussions that we've had over

1336
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:23,180
the past year. Let's start with the buildings. We first approached the city with a general blanket

1337
01:55:23,180 --> 01:55:29,920
rezoning to light and industrial period. No SUP, no specific conditions or anything like that.

1338
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:35,580
That general blanket rezoning and metal buildings. We had a lot of conversations with

1339
01:55:35,580 --> 01:55:40,980
city staff. They pointed us to your EDC. We had conversations with your EDC director which

1340
01:55:40,980 --> 01:55:48,280
you described pretty well. And the end result is now the SUP that will come back to here in a minute,

1341
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:50,860
starting with the proposed buildings.

1342
01:55:50,980 --> 01:55:54,540
The proposed buildings will now be a stucco exterior,

1343
01:55:54,840 --> 01:55:56,000
no metal buildings.

1344
01:55:56,880 --> 01:56:02,200
There'll be a single story, maximum 25 foot max height,

1345
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:05,240
in particular, no individual building

1346
01:56:05,240 --> 01:56:08,900
would be more than 20,000 square feet.

1347
01:56:10,100 --> 01:56:12,500
And there can only be two buildings

1348
01:56:12,500 --> 01:56:14,500
period on the overall property.

1349
01:56:15,100 --> 01:56:16,100
And as was already mentioned,

1350
01:56:16,100 --> 01:56:20,240
to pursue it to the conservation easement, even though we're rezoning and locking in the

1351
01:56:20,240 --> 01:56:27,500
SUP for all roughly 24.5 acres. We can only put in Pervious cover on about 3.5 acres

1352
01:56:27,500 --> 01:56:28,700
of it today.

1353
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:37,620
Other factors, we'll go back on the SUP. They're worth highlighting. At the top

1354
01:56:37,620 --> 01:56:45,380
left-hand corner of the screen, that's about 10.5, almost 11 acres. That was intentionally left

1355
01:56:45,380 --> 01:56:52,160
out of the zoning case. It will be left for single-family purposes, probably left is open space.

1356
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:59,860
It acts as a natural buffer to the existing subdivision there. We went from originally we were

1357
01:56:59,860 --> 01:57:07,180
proposing a hundred and fifty foot buffer in the hashed red diagonal area. That has been increased

1358
01:57:07,180 --> 01:57:15,620
resulting from the conversations to 250 vegetative buffer and the type of landscaping you can see

1359
01:57:15,620 --> 01:57:21,820
on the upper left-hand corner is dictated. So it's not sort of a theoretical plant whatever you want,

1360
01:57:22,140 --> 01:57:37,160
but the types of species, the trees and even the distances between trees is dictated by the

1361
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:40,200
space is ever developed for single family.

1362
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:49,380
There will be no ingress egress to Baneig drive, along with an additional 50-foot buffer

1363
01:57:49,380 --> 01:57:50,300
along Baneig.

1364
01:57:50,400 --> 01:57:57,100
That was, as a nod, Mayor, as he pointed out, to the residences across the street, even

1365
01:57:57,100 --> 01:57:58,980
though technically they're in a different city.

1366
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:06,700
The access will be on wear-seguine, including at the top of the screen, leaving property

1367
01:58:06,700 --> 01:58:13,180
there for a stub out for a future connection if that open space is developed, the city was

1368
01:58:13,180 --> 01:58:18,280
important to the city to have a traffic area for a future street that would connect to

1369
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:25,200
weirfs again there if that's now locked in by the SUP. Downward lighting throughout and again

1370
01:58:25,200 --> 01:58:34,860
the change in the aesthetics for the building themselves, not metal, stucco, and a general office

1371
01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:50,140
residential field, like what's on the screen today, the property owner developer, these are actual pictures of buildings that he's built today and is what he would propose to do here as well.

1372
01:58:50,820 --> 01:58:58,080
So with all that in mind in summary, again, what's in front of you?

1373
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:04,660
Maybe it's not ideal to everyone and that helps explain maybe some of the votes at P&Z to get here

1374
01:59:04,660 --> 01:59:09,220
But given the very unique circumstances being in the flight path

1375
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:13,760
And what is an isn't allowed for this particular property?

1376
01:59:14,020 --> 01:59:18,540
You heard your EDC director tell you this is a we believe a very good

1377
01:59:18,540 --> 01:59:25,200
Compromise and end result in front of you. So we would ask for your support tonight. Thank you

1378
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:35,840
Mr. Ortiz, are you the owner?

1379
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:37,720
I am not, no man.

1380
01:59:38,060 --> 01:59:38,360
OK.

1381
01:59:39,440 --> 01:59:44,540
You said that there was only going to be two buildings?

1382
01:59:45,720 --> 01:59:45,820
Yes.

1383
01:59:46,780 --> 01:59:48,480
And yet this shows five?

1384
01:59:49,700 --> 01:59:50,020
Yes.

1385
01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:57,920
So what the SUP is locking in sort of maximum potentials

1386
01:59:57,920 --> 01:59:59,340
on a number of things.

1387
01:59:59,340 --> 01:59:59,560
So...

1388
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:14,780
I'm criteria that I just went through. Maximum that can be paved on this property is three and a half acres. So what we've created to allow for some flexibility is an envelope of where that pavement could go and where the buildings could go.

1389
02:00:15,080 --> 02:00:23,440
So it is showing five buildings, but we can't build any more than two. So we just wanted to put out there. This is where maximum they could be.

1390
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:27,220
Okay. So, but again, maximum that we could put on the property is two dollars.

1391
02:00:27,380 --> 02:00:34,640
Gotcha. Okay. Now, the pictures that you showed of the warehouse, storage unit, whatever.

1392
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:45,540
Excuse me. That is, that is what the warehouse is going to look like. It looks like a house.

1393
02:00:47,140 --> 02:00:53,800
It looks better than some of the houses that we see. So, I just want to, I'm sure it's probably

1394
02:00:53,800 --> 02:00:57,560
a metal building with facade, right?

1395
02:00:57,560 --> 02:00:58,460
No, man.

1396
02:00:58,660 --> 02:00:59,660
It's actually.

1397
02:00:59,780 --> 02:01:03,780
It's a stucco exterior that is designed to look

1398
02:01:03,780 --> 02:01:08,140
office or residential, and that is a very direct result

1399
02:01:08,140 --> 02:01:11,060
of the conversations that we had with your city staff

1400
02:01:11,060 --> 02:01:12,480
and the EDC director.

1401
02:01:12,580 --> 02:01:15,300
Okay, so this is what these buildings,

1402
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:18,240
the two buildings that would get built will look like.

1403
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:25,280
Okay, so Egress 2, that area is off of where's the gene?

1404
02:01:25,500 --> 02:01:25,660
Correct.

1405
02:01:26,200 --> 02:01:31,260
So the warehouse part, their doors are not facing the road.

1406
02:01:31,800 --> 02:01:32,420
The back.

1407
02:01:32,740 --> 02:01:35,760
The front will look like what's on the screen today.

1408
02:01:36,560 --> 02:01:36,700
Okay.

1409
02:01:37,540 --> 02:01:42,180
So they would have to drive around to the undeveloped part.

1410
02:01:42,180 --> 02:01:42,700
Correct.

1411
02:01:43,060 --> 02:01:44,740
To get into the warehouse, right?

1412
02:01:44,740 --> 02:01:48,240
if you wanted to use that function of it, correct?

1413
02:01:49,780 --> 02:01:59,600
Okay, and these are buildings that are not going to house an actual business, they're

1414
02:01:59,600 --> 02:02:01,100
warehouse storage.

1415
02:02:04,090 --> 02:02:09,270
No, the buildings would house actual businesses.

1416
02:02:09,270 --> 02:02:16,510
Well, what I'm trying to say is one would be like a car painting shop.

1417
02:02:18,290 --> 02:02:20,250
It's not a laughable by the conservation.

1418
02:02:20,670 --> 02:02:24,730
We'll give you an example and I'll see credit your EDC director.

1419
02:02:25,470 --> 02:02:30,470
Given the circumstances in this area and then all the limiting factors on the property,

1420
02:02:31,170 --> 02:02:35,470
an ideal use would be a contractor, sales, and arts type function.

1421
02:02:35,470 --> 02:02:39,310
So you have a contractor that has a sort of a retail front facing

1422
02:02:39,310 --> 02:02:41,670
in these buildings, somebody can walk in and say,

1423
02:02:42,130 --> 02:02:44,250
I want to remodel my house, show me samples.

1424
02:02:45,030 --> 02:02:47,050
And then you're in the building itself.

1425
02:02:47,430 --> 02:02:50,610
But if you want to see larger examples of the materials

1426
02:02:50,610 --> 02:02:52,410
that they used, then you go in the back.

1427
02:02:52,590 --> 02:02:54,410
And you can see the actual material.

1428
02:02:54,870 --> 02:03:00,150
So that would be an ideal sort of business tenant in this space.

1429
02:03:00,190 --> 02:03:00,530
Right.

1430
02:03:00,530 --> 02:03:03,570
What I want to make sure that is a business that

1431
02:03:03,570 --> 02:03:13,190
of B2s, what you're asking for? Correct. Okay. With the SUP of the warehouse and storage,

1432
02:03:13,510 --> 02:03:20,830
so it's a warehouse type. But it shouldn't change what kind of business though. A B2 business,

1433
02:03:21,210 --> 02:03:27,170
what we have listed is what could go in there. That I'll defer to Mr. Couch on that.

1434
02:03:32,850 --> 02:03:33,550
But the

1435
02:03:33,550 --> 02:03:39,310
SGP would be for warehouse and storage, and that would mean that any business that goes in,

1436
02:03:39,330 --> 02:03:44,950
that would have to be the primary use of that business, would be warehouse or storage

1437
02:03:45,970 --> 02:03:48,010
or or, or, or slide it on storage.

1438
02:03:48,530 --> 02:03:58,130
So it could be a business that has a, like office front, like many warehouses have an office

1439
02:03:58,130 --> 02:04:04,650
component, as they have to have to be a business, but the primary use is a warehouse

1440
02:04:04,650 --> 02:04:14,630
and storage, what a a proposed use for this property is a landscaping business that has

1441
02:04:14,630 --> 02:04:16,450
like their patio,

1442
02:04:18,790 --> 02:04:25,650
pavers that would be stored on the property, as they would have a office

1443
02:04:26,370 --> 02:04:31,930
component that would be an accessory to the warehouse in storage, but because it's an accessory

1444
02:04:31,930 --> 02:04:38,150
use and not the primary use, the primary use is what we would go with for zoning purposes.

1445
02:04:39,450 --> 02:04:45,610
And so the warehouse in storage zoning would be what would apply to that use.

1446
02:04:46,610 --> 02:04:47,090
God.

1447
02:04:47,090 --> 02:04:47,530
Nice answer.

1448
02:04:47,710 --> 02:04:47,830
Okay.

1449
02:04:48,450 --> 02:04:49,610
Thank you.

1450
02:04:49,890 --> 02:04:50,230
That's it.

1451
02:04:50,530 --> 02:04:51,610
Thank you.

1452
02:04:51,610 --> 02:04:59,450
Council before I forget for the gentleman that spoke at the public hearing the you I think now

1453
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:03,420
I understand more of the details of the warehouse and the storage reference.

1454
02:05:04,120 --> 02:05:09,200
It absolutely does not allow for a data center data storage on the property.

1455
02:05:11,620 --> 02:05:13,780
No, no data items.

1456
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:22,460
Okay. Other questions for Mr.

1457
02:05:24,710 --> 02:05:26,110
Just a director?

1458
02:05:26,730 --> 02:05:31,170
Just a comment. Thank you for the thorough presentation and thank you for being good partners.

1459
02:05:35,060 --> 02:05:36,640
I did have one question.

1460
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:43,160
So that open space in the back, that's where they could potentially store big chunkier items.

1461
02:05:44,200 --> 02:05:44,740
That's correct.

1462
02:05:45,220 --> 02:05:54,340
That open space would be considered non-impervious as they could store there in that open storage area.

1463
02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:56,480
That's called that on the site plan.

1464
02:05:56,760 --> 02:06:01,360
But that would still be sub-dip to that buffer between the houses and the open storage area.

1465
02:06:02,040 --> 02:06:02,240
Okay.

1466
02:06:02,400 --> 02:06:03,060
Thank you.

1467
02:06:03,800 --> 02:06:13,780
And as Buffer are the trees, I saw the trees, they sent in the package to flip Buffer.

1468
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:19,760
I think in the presentation there was some trees, three tall trees there.

1469
02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:26,880
Yes, so as part of this, especially the conditions recommended by staff, including a budgeted

1470
02:06:26,880 --> 02:06:33,020
buffer to be approved by staff, so we would ensure that the buffer installed there would be

1471
02:06:33,020 --> 02:06:39,140
a full visual buffer including trees, brush, if necessary, to make sure that it is a full visual

1472
02:06:39,140 --> 02:06:48,400
buffer. And as well, part of our already existing code, any commercial use that is next to a residential

1473
02:06:48,400 --> 02:07:00,340
use has to have a six foot fence that must be erected between the commercial and non-commercial use.

1474
02:07:00,600 --> 02:07:05,920
And do we have something in place so that this doesn't become like an ice facility?

1475
02:07:07,520 --> 02:07:08,420
And ice facility?

1476
02:07:10,700 --> 02:07:11,360
No, it's not.

1477
02:07:11,460 --> 02:07:12,740
Yeah, it's not zone four.

1478
02:07:12,740 --> 02:07:17,180
So we're where house and storage is the extent of the

1479
02:07:17,180 --> 02:07:20,700
Allow to use this by this SUV. So

1480
02:07:21,560 --> 02:07:25,740
That would be that would be again zoning. Yes, all right. Thank you.

1481
02:07:29,260 --> 02:07:29,700
Okay

1482
02:07:29,700 --> 02:07:31,700
May I swat as I have a question for you?

1483
02:07:33,160 --> 02:07:36,260
The motion that's going to be put to the floor

1484
02:07:36,260 --> 02:07:42,440
For item it is it for B and C. We're gonna go be and I do them that individually be of the first

1485
02:07:43,480 --> 02:07:46,680
I move we approve item 9B.

1486
02:07:46,760 --> 02:07:49,440
Okay, they're second for item 2.

1487
02:07:51,380 --> 02:07:53,540
On favour C.I.

1488
02:07:53,540 --> 02:07:55,920
I will say no.

1489
02:07:56,640 --> 02:07:57,660
Okay, carries.

1490
02:07:58,320 --> 02:07:59,340
Can I have them see?

1491
02:07:59,960 --> 02:08:00,360
Your motion.

1492
02:08:01,280 --> 02:08:03,600
I move we approve item 9C.

1493
02:08:04,020 --> 02:08:04,700
And I'll second.

1494
02:08:04,980 --> 02:08:09,640
If I may, can we have that motion include the conditions set by staff?

1495
02:08:09,640 --> 02:08:13,940
including the conditions on the condition sheet.

1496
02:08:13,940 --> 02:08:14,900
Thank you.

1497
02:08:15,100 --> 02:08:15,500
Yes, sir.

1498
02:08:15,580 --> 02:08:16,700
I'll second that.

1499
02:08:16,760 --> 02:08:17,500
With the conditions.

1500
02:08:18,080 --> 02:08:19,480
On favor say aye.

1501
02:08:19,720 --> 02:08:20,260
All right.

1502
02:08:20,500 --> 02:08:21,720
Well say no.

1503
02:08:23,540 --> 02:08:23,740
Thank you.

1504
02:08:24,020 --> 02:08:26,400
Thank you.

1505
02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:27,180
Thank you, Henry.

1506
02:08:27,460 --> 02:08:27,880
Congratulations.

1507
02:08:28,060 --> 02:08:28,180
Thank you.

1508
02:08:32,160 --> 02:08:33,040
Item D.

1509
02:08:33,160 --> 02:08:33,680
Question.

1510
02:08:33,700 --> 02:08:34,000
Question.

1511
02:08:34,360 --> 02:08:39,540
It's a date time location approved after Robert Yao as the moderator for Meet the Candidate

1512
02:08:39,540 --> 02:08:40,080
Senate.

1513
02:08:40,260 --> 02:08:41,980
City Manager, City Secretary.

1514
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:50,320
Hello, again.

1515
02:08:51,480 --> 02:08:53,000
This is, I mean, the City Secretary.

1516
02:08:53,960 --> 02:08:58,140
This is to set the date in the moderator for Meet the Candidate.

1517
02:08:58,320 --> 02:09:06,180
So according to Section 34.247, our court ordinances, we're able to host Meet the Candidates,

1518
02:09:06,380 --> 02:09:10,160
which is supposed to be held the Thursday before early voting starts, so for this year

1519
02:09:10,160 --> 02:09:12,180
that will be October 15th.

1520
02:09:12,400 --> 02:09:15,320
I did reach out to Dr. Robert Yowl,

1521
02:09:15,480 --> 02:09:17,480
who is a professor of political science,

1522
02:09:17,800 --> 02:09:19,220
the coordinator of academic assessment

1523
02:09:19,220 --> 02:09:21,480
at the Alamo Colleges at Northeast Lake View.

1524
02:09:21,480 --> 02:09:23,160
And he's already agreed to come moderate

1525
02:09:23,160 --> 02:09:26,240
once again, this is his ninth time doing it.

1526
02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:27,500
So he does an amazing job.

1527
02:09:28,300 --> 02:09:31,080
And the recommended time is at 6.30 here in the chambers.

1528
02:09:31,640 --> 02:09:33,140
So I'm open to any questions.

1529
02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:36,840
You right, it does a great job.

1530
02:09:40,940 --> 02:09:46,040
I'm a commotion, or we'll approve item 90, that's perfect.

1531
02:09:46,640 --> 02:09:48,100
On favor say aye.

1532
02:09:48,860 --> 02:09:52,420
Both say no, carries.

1533
02:09:52,900 --> 02:09:53,780
Thank you.

1534
02:09:53,880 --> 02:09:55,880
Item E discussion for rational point,

1535
02:09:56,260 --> 02:09:58,480
a part-to-recorded commission chair person,

1536
02:09:58,700 --> 02:09:59,940
in accordance with Chapter 2.

1537
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:05,020
Article 3, division 1, section 2, there's 1, 3, 0, 85, public works director.

1538
02:10:05,620 --> 02:10:06,640
Good evening, Mayor Council.

1539
02:10:06,820 --> 02:10:09,380
Good night, look at us in the on-public worst director once again.

1540
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:11,080
Keep it short and sweet.

1541
02:10:11,600 --> 02:10:18,120
The Parks Commission had a discussion, appropriate action and Mr. Orlando Cruz was nominated for

1542
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:23,980
chair for Parks and Recs Commission and then Mr. Shell South as Vice Chair, but we're here

1543
02:10:23,980 --> 02:10:27,840
for the chair position. Motion passed unanimously.

1544
02:10:27,840 --> 02:10:30,780
So stand by for any questions.

1545
02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:34,060
I don't have a question, but I just want to congratulate them.

1546
02:10:34,660 --> 02:10:37,600
These two on the work that they do for the parks and relax.

1547
02:10:37,920 --> 02:10:40,600
I've worked with them two years.

1548
02:10:41,740 --> 02:10:44,360
Not in a row, but I've been working with them for three years,

1549
02:10:44,400 --> 02:10:49,720
and they both give a great time, a great part of their time,

1550
02:10:50,440 --> 02:10:54,920
to our city and our parks and our activities that we do.

1551
02:10:54,920 --> 02:11:02,100
So I just want to thank you for the work that you've already done, and hopefully we look forward to work you about today.

1552
02:11:03,160 --> 02:11:06,940
Okay, first question, not we have a motion on item E.

1553
02:11:06,960 --> 02:11:07,700
I'll make a motion.

1554
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:09,460
I'll remove item 90.

1555
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:11,320
I'll select it.

1556
02:11:11,400 --> 02:11:12,600
On the favor say aye.

1557
02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:13,560
Aye.

1558
02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:14,620
Opposed say no.

1559
02:11:16,280 --> 02:11:17,140
Thank you.

1560
02:11:18,060 --> 02:11:26,420
I'm 10 A commissioned committed fourth PZ as a met, Parks and Rec, I will be next week.

1561
02:11:28,840 --> 02:11:29,880
Animal Care.

1562
02:11:30,160 --> 02:11:33,600
Meetings next Friday, the 11th at 1 p.m.

1563
02:11:33,700 --> 02:11:34,540
Any regional?

1564
02:11:34,740 --> 02:11:35,800
Have not met yet.

1565
02:11:36,360 --> 02:11:38,160
And it's a city manager report.

1566
02:11:43,070 --> 02:11:45,950
I don't have anything really to add except on September 14th.

1567
02:11:45,950 --> 02:11:47,590
There will be a workshop at noon.

1568
02:11:49,820 --> 02:11:50,540
A budget workshop.

1569
02:11:50,720 --> 02:11:51,720
We'll be here too.

1570
02:11:52,040 --> 02:11:53,180
Oh, in this council room.

1571
02:11:53,540 --> 02:11:55,200
I don't know if that should be my idea.

1572
02:11:57,060 --> 02:11:57,180
Okay.

1573
02:11:57,980 --> 02:11:58,500
Thank you.

1574
02:11:58,600 --> 02:11:59,560
I am C.

1575
02:12:03,320 --> 02:12:05,080
I don't see reports anyone.

1576
02:12:05,500 --> 02:12:06,420
I do.

1577
02:12:08,840 --> 02:12:12,000
I attended the Meet the Patriots at Veterans Memorial.

1578
02:12:12,180 --> 02:12:16,920
There's many commerce residents, teenagers that do participate in this school there.

1579
02:12:17,060 --> 02:12:20,620
So I just want to say good luck and kudos to all of them.

1580
02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:25,020
I also attended the Kitty Corner Daycare Grand Opening.

1581
02:12:25,100 --> 02:12:25,980
Wonderful event.

1582
02:12:26,540 --> 02:12:28,060
Great team there.

1583
02:12:28,060 --> 02:12:34,960
owner is so nice, Danielle, attended the back to school bash. I believe there was 150 residents

1584
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:42,280
that attended that event before the awesome thunder storm ruined the party. Good job to you guys.

1585
02:12:42,720 --> 02:12:53,400
It was fun. I love the DJ. He had everybody hyped up. I also wanted to let you guys know that we

1586
02:12:53,400 --> 02:12:58,160
started our conversations with a viewer on the second annual

1587
02:12:58,160 --> 02:13:02,440
Congress Silver Angel Tree, partnering with the PD again.

1588
02:13:03,120 --> 02:13:07,080
Last year we gave out 55 gifts to the residents of a

1589
02:13:07,080 --> 02:13:11,420
viewer this year. I look forward to doing it and we're going to get

1590
02:13:11,420 --> 02:13:15,020
get it done a little bit earlier and announce things and stuff

1591
02:13:15,020 --> 02:13:18,040
because last year it was done in 12 days.

1592
02:13:19,300 --> 02:13:23,380
Just a little bit. And then also I wanted to give Kudos to

1593
02:13:23,380 --> 02:13:31,080
Stan, Josh and Susan, I made a call, Stan was on vacation about possibly doing a capital

1594
02:13:31,080 --> 02:13:38,760
project page on the city website and it went live yesterday and it looks awesome, it also

1595
02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:44,540
has a video of the last update from Stan at the previous council meeting on there too,

1596
02:13:53,360 --> 02:13:53,360
so

1597
02:13:54,480 --> 02:14:01,120
let's see. I admit that I at least my last council meeting, I deferred it to today, so the

1598
02:14:01,120 --> 02:14:10,400
track County luncheon, I attended that. I went to one of our citizens. She's celebrated 30 years.

1599
02:14:12,140 --> 02:14:18,020
I don't have to say this without, without hitting hip of that, I should have been or you see.

1600
02:14:18,020 --> 02:14:25,680
She's been successful for 30 years in the personal part of her life and she asked me to come out and be there with

1601
02:14:25,680 --> 02:14:34,640
She and her guests and she had so much support and I was just so happy there to see her do we she that do her accomplishment that she has a

1602
02:14:34,640 --> 02:14:36,700
She has a

1603
02:14:36,700 --> 02:14:41,240
Converse citizen Mr. Jones. I I talked to him. He's one of the people

1604
02:14:42,580 --> 02:14:51,520
Nemodet is back-sighted to that long-shadow trail, and so we're just happy guy, but that

1605
02:14:51,520 --> 02:14:56,660
is a concern because they're getting snakes and scones and things that are coming into

1606
02:14:56,660 --> 02:14:59,940
their yard, but it was very happy to see.

1607
02:15:00,860 --> 02:15:13,860
The hot while training, you all feel it's all there. We all get there. We've got some great educational pieces that we've learned and you can see we have funds hanging out with each other.

1608
02:15:14,420 --> 02:15:27,020
Appreciation of our young people. This is a young adult group that I started working with over a year ago. And so we did a research healing session last week.

1609
02:15:27,020 --> 02:15:32,680
And so it was very proud to be a part of this discussion with these young people and see

1610
02:15:32,680 --> 02:15:36,700
that perspective on how we're growing as a country and so that was really nice to do

1611
02:15:36,700 --> 02:15:37,160
that.

1612
02:15:37,520 --> 02:15:41,680
You see in the corner, they're dancing with the stars and I'm invited to come there every

1613
02:15:41,680 --> 02:15:42,000
year.

1614
02:15:42,240 --> 02:15:47,420
They try to get me to be a dancer with the stars, but I don't know if that's going to happen,

1615
02:15:47,960 --> 02:15:53,380
but if it does, well, it's going to be such a great fundraiser with a support and give back

1616
02:15:53,380 --> 02:15:55,300
to our nonprofits in the city.

1617
02:15:55,300 --> 02:16:00,440
so very nice to be there and be recognized with the city of commerce. And then lastly,

1618
02:16:00,540 --> 02:16:05,320
the young lady down at the bottom, you see, she's a citizen here in commerce. She's at

1619
02:16:05,320 --> 02:16:10,800
Mettoness Hospital. And she recognized me from council. She said, can I just have a photo with you?

1620
02:16:11,320 --> 02:16:16,720
And so I stopped and took a photo with her there and mettoness hospital. The next slide,

1621
02:16:17,100 --> 02:16:23,400
I've been asked to be the master of ceremony. This is September 26. You all, you all, you all,

1622
02:16:23,400 --> 02:16:29,060
and find it. It is like evening of spiritual harmony. You see what they are already with the

1623
02:16:29,060 --> 02:16:35,580
mic, that's because I've done this about nine years. This was my 10th year doing it. And it's

1624
02:16:35,580 --> 02:16:41,260
so much fun. It's why I encourage all of you to come out to support this is a fundraiser for

1625
02:16:41,260 --> 02:16:46,140
historically, but colleges and so I would love for you to come out and support me in that.

1626
02:16:46,760 --> 02:16:53,240
I have two items I would like to talk about. Last week we had a guy get up in prison

1627
02:16:53,840 --> 02:16:57,400
a 15 minute presentation reading it.

1628
02:16:57,660 --> 02:17:02,480
I would like when this should just me hopefully you are with support men is when people are presenting.

1629
02:17:02,780 --> 02:17:07,300
I loved the one tonight. He was under five minutes. It was short. He hit the highlights.

1630
02:17:07,960 --> 02:17:12,480
And he didn't waste our time. I think it's a waste of time when people get up and give us those long presentations.

1631
02:17:13,140 --> 02:17:17,100
Also, it'd be nice if it's going to be something bulky that we get at a head of time.

1632
02:17:17,380 --> 02:17:21,240
And then they could just hit the high points and then we can have open discussion.

1633
02:17:21,240 --> 02:17:26,780
And so, whoever is allowing people to get up and just take our turn, I take their turn,

1634
02:17:27,080 --> 02:17:31,880
presenting to us, I would like them to, I would like to see them keep it between three

1635
02:17:31,880 --> 02:17:37,840
five minutes and then let us ask questions that we want, if we get the back of it at a time.

1636
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:46,840
Sorry. And then lastly, I just want to think the, the Susan and Stan and then Josh,

1637
02:17:47,140 --> 02:17:51,160
you all are doing a fantastic job that's keeping us updated on what's going on in the city.

1638
02:17:51,160 --> 02:17:57,140
on the other reports, you make sure that we know about all of the training that's going on

1639
02:17:57,140 --> 02:18:02,580
that we can be a part of, and so we don't say enough, but we really do appreciate you all

1640
02:18:02,580 --> 02:18:08,560
in what you're doing with your staff as well. So thank you for going through budgets and all the

1641
02:18:08,560 --> 02:18:11,180
things that you go through with us, we really appreciate it.

1642
02:18:18,630 --> 02:18:23,270
Mr. Mayor? Mr. Mayor. Whenever you're done,

1643
02:18:23,270 --> 02:18:28,270
And I need to point something out in the ask if the council wants to fix it.

1644
02:18:31,170 --> 02:18:31,850
I'm going through my notes.

1645
02:18:32,030 --> 02:18:33,930
I want to make a little anal retensive about this part.

1646
02:18:36,010 --> 02:18:42,250
The motion to point the Parks and Rec chair was just the motion to a point to approve

1647
02:18:42,990 --> 02:18:43,430
9E.

1648
02:18:43,470 --> 02:18:45,470
It doesn't actually list who you're appointing.

1649
02:18:45,970 --> 02:18:46,810
Go back.

1650
02:18:47,030 --> 02:18:47,790
Yes, sir.

1651
02:18:47,830 --> 02:18:48,430
Thank you.

1652
02:18:48,430 --> 02:18:48,930
Thank you.

1653
02:18:48,930 --> 02:18:50,890
that we didn't have.

1654
02:18:50,890 --> 02:18:52,010
That's why you're here.

1655
02:18:52,410 --> 02:18:54,010
We haven't been about that first.

1656
02:18:54,030 --> 02:18:55,550
So they won't pick me up in the morning.

1657
02:18:57,770 --> 02:18:58,370
Okay.

1658
02:19:00,590 --> 02:19:02,130
Mr. Farmer.

1659
02:19:05,930 --> 02:19:08,990
Since our garbage now has been changed

1660
02:19:11,130 --> 02:19:12,330
to where

1661
02:19:13,510 --> 02:19:16,130
it's one day a week for both containers.

1662
02:19:17,050 --> 02:19:18,790
Is there any way we can change

1663
02:19:19,610 --> 02:19:29,050
the scheduling of the street sweeper, because let's take for instance, it's the third week of the month.

1664
02:19:29,670 --> 02:19:36,370
Okay, and my garbage day is Monday, and when does the street sweeper come? Monday.

1665
02:19:37,390 --> 02:19:42,510
So why can't the schedule be changed to Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday, whatever,

1666
02:19:42,970 --> 02:19:46,250
so that they don't have to go up and down around the trash cans.

1667
02:19:48,840 --> 02:19:59,940
Okay, and another thing doesn't the street sweeper supposed to have water in it because all they're doing is pushing dust.

1668
02:20:01,300 --> 02:20:04,280
I thought

1669
02:20:06,840 --> 02:20:31,520
so, you know, because I went outside, I got a face full dust, you know, and I'm figure I know it's, I know that it's sweeping the curb, but, you know, I just think maybe some of that dirt that they're pushing around you, that could be sucked up into the thing too, so, okay, but I just thought what asked maybe to change the streets we've been scheduled.

1670
02:20:34,730 --> 02:20:35,050
Thank you.

1671
02:20:38,370 --> 02:20:50,930
Yes, sir. Thank you. I also attended the Kitty Corner Reopening. And today I

1672
02:20:50,930 --> 02:21:00,530
RSPP for the business luncheon that EDC is going to be doing in the month of September,

1673
02:21:00,910 --> 02:21:08,030
so I'll be going to that. And I have some questions for the city manager. I think I

1674
02:21:08,030 --> 02:21:17,410
call, I don't know if it was at the last budget workshop, but or maybe it was in a council meeting.

1675
02:21:18,750 --> 02:21:22,170
We needed to bid out for depository. Has that been done yet?

1676
02:21:24,650 --> 02:21:30,230
You're talking about the financial thinking? Yes sir. No, we're going to wait till right after this budget

1677
02:21:30,230 --> 02:21:38,410
passed and the finance department has bandwidth to create that RFP. So it's going to go out in October.

1678
02:21:39,050 --> 02:21:40,350
When does it expire?

1679
02:21:40,490 --> 02:21:41,490
When does it expire?

1680
02:21:41,490 --> 02:21:41,650
When does it expire?

1681
02:21:42,850 --> 02:21:45,030
I don't think it's far.

1682
02:21:45,330 --> 02:21:45,870
She already left.

1683
02:21:45,990 --> 02:21:46,950
I don't think it's far.

1684
02:21:47,110 --> 02:21:49,890
I think it's we're still under a contract right now.

1685
02:21:50,210 --> 02:21:52,510
I hope so, because I thought I heard her say.

1686
02:21:52,770 --> 02:21:53,730
Yes, she says September.

1687
02:21:55,370 --> 02:22:00,450
Well, I remember what my recollection is when we met with one bank that was interested

1688
02:22:00,450 --> 02:22:08,390
several months ago, is that we were still under a contract with the current bank.

1689
02:22:08,390 --> 02:22:13,770
for quite a while, but we could go out to RFP and we decided at that point, let's wait until

1690
02:22:13,770 --> 02:22:17,790
we get past the budget and we'll do it in October and do the RFP.

1691
02:22:18,610 --> 02:22:20,110
So, we're still in a contract?

1692
02:22:20,930 --> 02:22:21,370
Yes.

1693
02:22:22,050 --> 02:22:22,610
With our current.

1694
02:22:22,970 --> 02:22:23,510
With our current.

1695
02:22:25,070 --> 02:22:30,830
And my recollection is she was a one-year contract, it was a contract, and it ended, but she

1696
02:22:30,830 --> 02:22:35,470
continued it, and which was wrong, but she kicked it to the contract with our city council.

1697
02:22:36,590 --> 02:22:39,030
But it did expire in September.

1698
02:22:39,910 --> 02:22:41,470
That was what she had told me.

1699
02:22:41,710 --> 02:22:43,790
That's why I asked for you the day.

1700
02:22:44,310 --> 02:22:50,630
It was an August that we needed to put it out because we don't want to be rushed.

1701
02:22:52,610 --> 02:22:55,630
Well, we do have a plane for October to put it out.

1702
02:22:55,870 --> 02:22:57,830
As long as we're still on the contract.

1703
02:22:58,790 --> 02:22:59,390
We have a plane.

1704
02:22:59,390 --> 02:23:00,790
They're providing services.

1705
02:23:00,910 --> 02:23:02,170
They're also providing services.

1706
02:23:02,170 --> 02:23:11,370
Okay. All right. And then a couple of items that I would like to request once again.

1707
02:23:13,530 --> 02:23:19,390
And I feel a little insecure about saying this in open session.

1708
02:23:20,810 --> 02:23:28,870
But I would like to know why we can't have an executive session posted on each agenda.

1709
02:23:28,870 --> 02:23:33,430
But if we don't need to go into executive session, then we don't need to.

1710
02:23:33,810 --> 02:23:38,710
But some things that we discuss, I think we should discuss in executive.

1711
02:23:40,790 --> 02:23:45,970
And I'd like to know why we can't put executive session on every agenda.

1712
02:23:46,570 --> 02:23:48,410
Well, at the city of attorney answer that one.

1713
02:23:48,410 --> 02:23:49,630
So it would be Mr. President.

1714
02:23:49,630 --> 02:23:51,570
answer in the main ground.

1715
02:23:52,230 --> 02:24:00,910
So, technically, the opening means that the concept of executive session doesn't have to be anywhere on your agenda.

1716
02:24:01,950 --> 02:24:08,050
If an item that is on the agenda triggers a need to go into executive session, you're going to do executive session.

1717
02:24:08,330 --> 02:24:12,430
It does not have to be separated out in executive session.

1718
02:24:12,430 --> 02:24:19,930
Okay, but you might want to stress that you could still only go into executive session if it meets the parameters for executive session.

1719
02:24:20,170 --> 02:24:26,310
You just can't go into it because you want to go into it because, yeah, and it has to be an item currently on the agenda that you're talking about.

1720
02:24:26,430 --> 02:24:39,070
You can't, you know, bring in a new one and it has to meet the requirements for executive session, you know, constellation with attorney, purchase of property, economic development, those that allow executive staff, personnel, yes, that's seven, seven, four, yes, men.

1721
02:24:39,070 --> 02:24:47,830
And so you can go into an executive session on any of those for any posted item without it being posted as exact.

1722
02:24:48,530 --> 02:24:48,930
Okay.

1723
02:24:49,090 --> 02:24:50,010
Is that answer your question, Matt?

1724
02:24:50,030 --> 02:24:51,470
Yes, thank you very much.

1725
02:24:51,890 --> 02:24:59,250
All right, so Mr. Farmer, there's some things that I'd like to request that we all get documentation of.

1726
02:25:00,240 --> 02:25:01,460
Your contract,

1727
02:25:04,480 --> 02:25:05,800
your organizational chart,

1728
02:25:09,720 --> 02:25:21,620
and what I asked for before, the requested budget, let's say, how do I put that?

1729
02:25:21,920 --> 02:25:34,000
When you asked each department to submit their wish list budgets, before you cut out items, there are original budgets that they submitted to you,

1730
02:25:34,000 --> 02:25:37,900
before you did any cut in that document.

1731
02:25:39,360 --> 02:25:41,920
I provided that to you, a paper copy,

1732
02:25:42,280 --> 02:25:45,020
and I had adding as notes.

1733
02:25:45,360 --> 02:25:49,240
I remember I stood up there and I gave it to you several meetings ago.

1734
02:25:50,600 --> 02:25:52,720
And I said, this is the paper copy.

1735
02:25:52,960 --> 02:25:55,820
We found that it has some notes from her because I remember saying that part.

1736
02:25:56,260 --> 02:25:57,700
But I was, I think I had it in a minute.

1737
02:25:57,860 --> 02:25:59,140
I'll handle it too.

1738
02:26:00,580 --> 02:26:00,760
Okay.

1739
02:26:01,460 --> 02:26:02,980
I'm happy now. I don't think I'd dream.

1740
02:26:03,020 --> 02:26:04,980
I will search for that. You said it.

1741
02:26:05,300 --> 02:26:08,060
Well, if it was vanilla, I'd remember.

1742
02:26:09,100 --> 02:26:10,760
But maybe I have received it.

1743
02:26:11,300 --> 02:26:12,040
And if I haven't.

1744
02:26:12,120 --> 02:26:13,640
I'll ask you, I'll ask that.

1745
02:26:13,720 --> 02:26:14,140
I'll leave it again.

1746
02:26:14,840 --> 02:26:16,180
I will let you go.

1747
02:26:16,640 --> 02:26:19,480
But those things I would like for you to please provide to us.

1748
02:26:20,840 --> 02:26:21,520
And I'm done.

1749
02:26:23,460 --> 02:26:24,600
I don't need to thank you.

1750
02:26:25,640 --> 02:26:30,320
Okay, if one minor one did attend the Chidi Corner Learning Center

1751
02:26:30,320 --> 02:26:33,780
I've never even cutting you with air, and you with air.

1752
02:26:34,180 --> 02:26:35,740
So I appreciate what was a nice, nice,

1753
02:26:35,740 --> 02:26:39,100
fair and cutting, nice addition family business,

1754
02:26:39,700 --> 02:26:42,540
sporty converse, attended our monthly

1755
02:26:43,160 --> 02:26:45,340
eight-card board of directors, meeting,

1756
02:26:45,580 --> 02:26:47,400
no eight-known U.S. youths,

1757
02:26:47,400 --> 02:26:49,880
had some emergency management actions this weekend.

1758
02:26:50,180 --> 02:26:54,040
We got the map from CPS Energy.

1759
02:26:54,140 --> 02:26:55,740
I think I said an email to all the council

1760
02:26:55,740 --> 02:26:57,000
that didn't know what had happened,

1761
02:26:57,000 --> 02:27:05,420
And it was a residence that lost power in San Antonio and was having news conference and we were getting calls as well.

1762
02:27:05,980 --> 02:27:08,800
And it turned out that the map said five residences.

1763
02:27:09,580 --> 02:27:17,900
And so, I emailed the text message, the city manager that we needed to take action and check on those residences.

1764
02:27:17,920 --> 02:27:19,640
There's a hundred plus degrees outside.

1765
02:27:20,300 --> 02:27:23,300
And I got a whole of Chief Lane called me back.

1766
02:27:23,500 --> 02:27:26,580
It's Chief Lane said he would take care of it.

1767
02:27:26,680 --> 02:27:30,300
He would respond right away and Sergeant Luzano from the PD.

1768
02:27:30,820 --> 02:27:33,700
Checked out, it was an odd half in subdivision.

1769
02:27:33,900 --> 02:27:37,640
And it was 10 houses, 10 houses, instead of 5.

1770
02:27:38,180 --> 02:27:42,500
And all but one house had plans to move for the night.

1771
02:27:43,140 --> 02:27:45,760
And Sergeant Luzano said that he would take care of it

1772
02:27:45,760 --> 02:27:52,820
keep an eye on that family that was going to remain at the residence and one asked, Chief

1773
02:27:52,820 --> 02:27:57,340
of all this contact to me, he asked me what he could do and I said, we could ask the

1774
02:27:57,340 --> 02:28:03,760
on-do the shift to help sergeant was going to keep an eye on the residence. So that's what

1775
02:28:03,760 --> 02:28:08,140
we did. We were there for the residence and I did get a couple of calls from the residence

1776
02:28:08,140 --> 02:28:14,560
that did lead. Thank you for caring, which is very important that we took action and check

1777
02:28:15,400 --> 02:28:22,840
And we had another one on 302 Avenue A had a hard time getting CPS to understand that a tree

1778
02:28:22,840 --> 02:28:29,360
had fallen in the street and they talked to the area director and I guess their command

1779
02:28:29,360 --> 02:28:33,600
of control is not as great as ours and it took a long time to get, I don't even know

1780
02:28:33,600 --> 02:28:36,660
if anybody ever went out there and bugging the lines.

1781
02:28:36,900 --> 02:28:44,380
I know that you talked to the youth regarding Nemo cutting the tree again, the tree

1782
02:28:44,380 --> 02:28:49,380
of the street up the street, it's all gone, but we don't know if CPS fixed.

1783
02:28:51,000 --> 02:28:54,660
I believe they, well, I don't officially, but we never close the black street.

1784
02:28:55,000 --> 02:28:59,720
Yeah, because I get callin' afternoon and he said, he's a jar of spawning, but that CPS

1785
02:28:59,720 --> 02:29:05,680
because he had to respond, you know, to reconnect the wires, because the way the tree branch fell

1786
02:29:05,680 --> 02:29:07,660
on the wire, and he just ripped them off the house.

1787
02:29:08,800 --> 02:29:12,760
Yeah, it was, it was Ms. Ben Brooks house, you know, and all over.

1788
02:29:12,760 --> 02:29:20,640
I was trying to help her get to CPS but working now, CPS is not as easy some time when there.

1789
02:29:20,700 --> 02:29:23,060
100,000 houses in San Antonio.

1790
02:29:23,260 --> 02:29:26,760
They give priority to the amp and not us.

1791
02:29:28,580 --> 02:29:31,160
So that's what we had to do.

1792
02:29:31,920 --> 02:29:38,760
They get calls a couple weeks ago regarding the items tonight on the ATZ1.

1793
02:29:38,760 --> 02:29:49,020
Z1, they wanted to make sure that we didn't build any houses there, so we were part of the agreement.

1794
02:29:49,540 --> 02:29:53,900
That was not going to happen, so I can call them back tomorrow, I don't know that it didn't happen.

1795
02:29:54,380 --> 02:29:58,620
We happy because they're always concerned about encroachment.

1796
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:05,360
And so that was great that Henry and his team to care that before.

1797
02:30:06,440 --> 02:30:13,960
Got a letter from the SNS plumbing company. Those that did attend the ribbon cutting yard remember that.

1798
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:16,580
That was contractives said.

1799
02:30:16,640 --> 02:30:20,620
It's a marriage for us. Thank you for helping make our 20th anniversary celebration special.

1800
02:30:20,740 --> 02:30:23,200
We truly appreciate your heartfelt words.

1801
02:30:23,200 --> 02:30:30,760
City of Commerce, commemorative coins and meaningful presentation, your support of S&S and the

1802
02:30:30,760 --> 02:30:33,800
Commerce Business Community has mentioned so much to us.

1803
02:30:33,800 --> 02:30:39,940
We are grateful to be part of this wonderful community, appreciate all you do since here

1804
02:30:39,940 --> 02:30:43,720
thanks to Stephen and Cheryl's Tannish, that's very great to see people who have been

1805
02:30:43,720 --> 02:30:50,420
moved in business and commerce for a long time and felt appreciated and very glad that

1806
02:30:50,420 --> 02:30:52,140
their business here.

1807
02:30:52,140 --> 02:31:00,460
That opportunity to do multiple, turn out to be a couple of hours of work.

1808
02:31:00,500 --> 02:31:06,720
Multiple interviews with Telemundo, television and Spanish regarding the cleared the shelters

1809
02:31:06,720 --> 02:31:10,140
at the Animal Care Facility with Joe Jolves getting more.

1810
02:31:10,580 --> 02:31:19,160
It was great live television, and I didn't know we had any Spanish speakers in commerce

1811
02:31:19,160 --> 02:31:22,500
because I got calls from them too, so that was neat.

1812
02:31:23,280 --> 02:31:24,900
You know, the information is carried.

1813
02:31:25,960 --> 02:31:26,920
You know, this is a great job.

1814
02:31:29,140 --> 02:31:31,720
So, I'm going to do the shelter for thinking outside the box

1815
02:31:31,720 --> 02:31:33,460
and working with him.

1816
02:31:33,540 --> 02:31:36,020
That's what I was doing.

1817
02:31:36,180 --> 02:31:38,580
Was, yeah, that's their situation.

1818
02:31:40,700 --> 02:31:41,060
OK.

1819
02:31:42,200 --> 02:31:42,740
And there's what?

1820
02:31:43,420 --> 02:31:45,640
That in the warehouse hole that you were talking about

1821
02:31:45,640 --> 02:31:48,700
and North Hampton that needed something.

1822
02:31:49,040 --> 02:31:50,180
Is everything okay now?

1823
02:31:50,240 --> 02:31:51,780
I got power to the whole area.

1824
02:31:52,160 --> 02:31:53,440
Okay, they do have power in there.

1825
02:31:53,460 --> 02:31:54,480
It's nothing showing.

1826
02:31:54,580 --> 02:31:55,280
They're back in there.

1827
02:31:55,680 --> 02:31:57,880
And it's only still having issues.

1828
02:31:58,180 --> 02:32:00,960
Right, but I want to know about that conference resident.

1829
02:32:01,380 --> 02:32:02,100
Yeah, okay.

1830
02:32:03,340 --> 02:32:03,700
Okay.

1831
02:32:04,560 --> 02:32:06,000
Okay, I don't mean 11.

1832
02:32:06,600 --> 02:32:07,720
A German, I don't know for it.

1833
02:32:07,960 --> 02:32:08,720
That's not me.

1834
02:32:09,120 --> 02:32:09,460
The 90.

1835
02:32:09,780 --> 02:32:13,340
Oh, we've got to make them a great essay.

1836
02:32:13,920 --> 02:32:19,080
All right, we're going back to item 90 for the City Attorney's Direction, discussion of

1837
02:32:19,080 --> 02:32:24,540
production, to appoint a Parks Recreation Commission Chairperson, according to Chapter 2,

1838
02:32:24,680 --> 02:32:29,700
Article 3 Division I, Section 2, SB 13085, and the other works for it.

1839
02:32:29,820 --> 02:32:30,520
It's your motion.

1840
02:32:31,200 --> 02:32:31,360
All right.

1841
02:32:31,520 --> 02:32:38,620
I make the motion that we appoint in the story of Hando Cruz as chair and vice chair.

1842
02:32:39,440 --> 02:32:39,920
It's well.

1843
02:32:39,920 --> 02:32:42,360
Okay, I'll handle Cruz this chair.

1844
02:32:42,640 --> 02:32:45,420
I'll set it on favor C.I.

1845
02:32:46,280 --> 02:32:46,920
I'll say no.

1846
02:32:47,940 --> 02:32:49,900
Don't think you're okay.

1847
02:32:50,940 --> 02:32:51,940
I'll take you up in the morning.

1848
02:32:53,200 --> 02:32:53,920
Yeah, I'm 11.

1849
02:32:54,500 --> 02:32:56,740
The German have no further businessy council meetings.

1850
02:32:57,020 --> 02:32:58,620
The German at 9.31.

1851
02:32:58,840 --> 02:32:59,620
Great work.

1852
02:32:59,860 --> 02:33:00,300
Have a good night.

1853
02:33:00,940 --> 02:33:01,260
Safe.
