Uh 67 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:38,080 one was for the because of the the dumpster corral. 68 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:42,320 So, and I got to have uh because of the electrical lines and stuff like that and 69 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,400 with the cars, it's just easier if we have uh not our crew do it.

They're, you know, I I don't want my guys going around electrical lines. 73 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,040 » Gotcha. Are the trees in the way of the DR? 74 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:09,759 » Yes, the one is.

Um, so they 84 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,800 would need to be cut back significantly. >> Sure. 85 00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:03,759 » No matter what. >> Are we losing landscaping back there 86 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:10,240 then? >> Uh, not the bed on the uh pedestri on 87 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:16,319 the pedestrianity side that that is going back in after the sewer line goes 88 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:23,120 in. The the only landscaping is is is the the small grass bed where 89 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,840 the tree is. Okay. Thank you. 90 00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:34,880 Sam. >> Uh, hi Tim. This is Sam.

If you have any questions, let 107 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:56,840 me know. I don't have really any I have one small verbal update to provide. 108 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:07,120 » Are you going to talk about the up the A and B items on your report? 109 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:12,520 » Um I can provide more information if you have a specific question. 110 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,520 I'm 111 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,720 I'm wondering if Well, they almost look like they're related just because they 112 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,800 » um >> not directly, but 113 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:27,759 » Yeah, they're indirectly related because the trail head is planned in the corner 114 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,080 the um >> next to the cemetery. 115 00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:34,800 » Yes. um 116 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,440 uh between it's on that little piece of Broad Street, I'm sorry, 117 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:43,839 » Grand >> the 3045 Broad Street property as well 118 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:50,320 as the unimproved portion of the Grand Street right away. So, um excuse me. I 119 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,279 like to keep them separate right now because we're looking at two different 120 00:08:52,480 --> 00:09:00,240 things when I talk about this. Excuse me. 121 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:05,440 um the 3045 Broad Street that Fledo Group is working on the redevelopment of 122 00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:09,839 those five different parcels. They are working with Hods and Black. They are 123 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:18,480 they were hoping to have had their concept um plans already to review with 124 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:24,560 us, but um um between vacation schedules and people getting sick, it kind of 125 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:32,160 delayed that process. And so um um when I spoke with Luke last week, he expected 126 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:40,080 it might be another couple weeks, but um they're excited to move forward. They do 127 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:44,880 have some concerns about the ability to um do the placement of their buildings 128 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:51,600 because of the power lines. and he did mention something about um um shifting 129 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:59,120 the project and utilizing that area where we're planning for a trail head. 130 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:04,320 Um what I did tell him initially was um it's a topic that's never come up. It is 131 00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:11,920 a planned area has been that way for a long time. Um, but 132 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:17,360 I didn't tell them not to pursue asking the question because we tend to be a 133 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:25,920 group that, you know, is open to questions and not like to make knee-jerk 134 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:31,800 reactions. Um, um, since this was done, um, trying to remember the meeting we 135 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,800 had. 136 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:41,360 Oh, I think I can't remember if it was I think it was a DDA meeting, although 137 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:49,279 forgive me brain fog. The topic of the trail head came up and it and it's very 138 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:55,680 clear that is a real area that we expect to be developed. And so I went back to 139 00:10:52,240 --> 00:11:00,560 Luke and explained to him, you you can ask, but I wouldn't put all your eggs in 140 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:05,519 the basket. Well, I mean the the the 141 00:11:03,839 --> 00:11:09,120 comment that's in the packet, right? You know, would they would we consider 142 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,480 vacating Grand Street? >> You know, it's it's kind of hard to 143 00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:15,040 respond to something with that unless you have an idea of what it is you're 144 00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:18,000 » right, which is >> counter proposal is, 145 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:24,160 » right? I'm just giving you the heads up that this is something they 146 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:27,600 » going to want to discuss. Yeah. um um after my second conversation with them, 147 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:33,279 they may completely take it off the table, but in the event that they don't, 148 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:39,920 at least you're not caught offguarded by by the ask. Um and and they will be 149 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:44,640 showing it with a set of concept plans if they come forward with it. Okay. 150 00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:48,720 » I think the the first thing that comes to mind for me is normally during a 151 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,160 vacation, the property owners on each side of the vacated area get the 152 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,920 property So, we'd be giving half the right away 153 00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,399 to the cemetery, >> which I don't know if that makes any 154 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,920 sense to me. >> We would have to do it by law. And that 155 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:09,600 is also something that Luke and I talked about. And he he um talked about how 156 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:15,920 they'd have to see if they could purchase it back from the cemetery or if 157 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:21,760 the cemetery would be willing to quit claim it to them. I mean, I 158 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:27,600 it sounds to me like they just need to have smaller buildings 159 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:31,839 is the is the the message is the message I would refer back to them. 160 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:35,519 » Well, but I that could be but that may that would be an assumption on my part 161 00:12:34,079 --> 00:12:39,760 that the buildings are too big. >> No, if it's an assumption on my part. 162 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:45,839 » I know share my assumption with them. >> Happy to share your assumption. Um but 163 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:51,360 um I can see why you would say that considering what their concept was when 164 00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:55,360 they came in with their um letter of intent. It could be that 165 00:12:53,279 --> 00:13:00,880 » so m Michelle just from from my perspective, my vision of the I like 166 00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:05,120 that there's a gap at Forest the Forest Street right between 167 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,360 » the 150 Jefferson building and whatever happens on 3045, 168 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,760 » right? >> With the power lines. I like that 169 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,720 there's a gap there. >> Mhm. I like that there's a gap at grand. 170 00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:18,560 If we vacate grand, we probably only get two gaps. 171 00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,839 » Okay. Instead of three. >> You like gaps. 172 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,800 » Yeah. I like I like space. I like to be able to see. I like views. Yes. 173 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,480 » Okay, that's fine. And And >> less is more in terms of building size. 174 00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:35,920 » Okay. >> More is better with gaps. 175 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,760 » The power lines go through. 176 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,680 » They go right down the middle.

But that's to facilitate a 185 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:12,000 discussion around how that might be constructed or designed. 186 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:17,680 » Yes, it's a it's it would be it would allow us to go out for an RFP for 187 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:22,560 professional design and engineering services. Um there'd be public 188 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:29,279 participation as part of it so that we're getting feedback on what that what 189 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:35,199 it could look like. you know, not just a physical structure, but you know, how 190 00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:41,600 how will it how will a trail head with public on 191 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:46,880 street parking and public restrooms how will that be designed? 192 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:54,160 um how will that be could be constructed so that it is complimentary to our park 193 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:58,480 and the that's just I mean that's such a jewel 194 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,600 want to make sure that if any any additional jewels to the crown 195 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:06,639 complimentary and not overpowering >> good thank you 196 00:15:04,959 --> 00:15:12,480 » welcome Ray 197 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:17,920 » how does the uh they're wanting to do a make alternative 198 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:23,120 um trail head.

Is that going to affect our 200 00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:34,560 application? Don't they need to know it? >> The city um won't be isn't submitting 201 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:38,480 the application. Um here on Water Waterlue Pathways Initiative is doing it 202 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:44,240 on our behalf. Okay. They've already done the leg work to um to get the 203 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:49,040 approval to do a full application, which is 204 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:55,360 it's not a 100% yep, you're going to get the grant, but it is a very strong it's 205 00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:00,240 strongly weighted that you've got really good chances of getting it. 206 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:02,720 » So, there was a specific site attached to that grant request. 207 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000 » Yes, sir. >> So, whatever they're talking about 208 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:08,880 wouldn't have nothing to do with this grant. 209 00:16:07,839 --> 00:16:10,959 Whatever >> they want to do through the middle. 210 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:16,079 » Correct. >> Cor correct.

We're done. So, so I I would say if everybody loved the idea of the 217 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:49,600 trail head going through the middle, >> then that could be reflected in in the 218 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:53,360 project that the grant will help fund. >> Um, 219 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:59,040 but as of right now, I think we're proceeding under the assumption that the 220 00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:02,959 the the project for the trail head is at the the end of Graham Street. 221 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:04,799 » Yeah.

And that's I want to be able to see the 227 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:33,120 water from as many points as I can. >> Michelle, when did they sign their 228 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:37,200 pre-development agreement?

I don't want to I don't want to see a 236 00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:16,480 a difference of opinion, you know, suddenly pop its head up after 237 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,160 we dumped 50 to 75 and did a lot of planning, had a lot of 238 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:25,760 meetings >> and and it may still be a while or or 239 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,799 maybe a couple of months before we know whether or not we got the grant I if we 240 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:35,120 get the grant at all. >> Yeah, I'm just shooting for November. 241 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:40,000 Yes, November is about the time. >> I guess we got a couple months, 242 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,679 » but HWPI had no problems getting will have no 243 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,360 problems getting the grant in by the date, 244 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:52,480 » right? I'm more concerned about down the road where it's imperative that they 245 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:58,400 have it through the middle or they can't financially make 246 00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:02,799 hurts my head just thinking about it. >> Pablo, any any Any questions for 247 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,440 Michelle? >> No, no questions for Michelle.

Uh so essentially the 350 00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:08,799 the um answer is that uh in order to meet standards um there's supposed to be 351 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:12,559 a uh 30 foot or no sorry a 20ft um uh vision distance from all crosswalks. 352 00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:18,400 » Okay. >> And the striping was installed to to 353 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:26,640 provide that 20 foot gap. Is that part of the 354 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:30,559 grant addendum that we have to follow? Is that federal money? 355 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:36,799 » Yeah. So, well, so the the the project uh did utilize federal funds overall. Uh 356 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:41,279 the um parking stalls the the parking stalls on Main Street um were what are 357 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,200 called category 3, which are non-participating. Okay. 358 00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:49,679 » And so those are 100% city funded for the for the mill overlay and striping of 359 00:27:47,679 --> 00:27:53,600 those parking stalls. >> So we're not going to get that reduced. 360 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,960 » I mean >> not worth the effort. 361 00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:00,640 » We can we can ask the engineers in the room 362 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,679 » one part. I mean what' we lose two? >> Don't I need you? 363 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,840 » Mhm. >> So So we technically could have more 364 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:12,559 pedestrian area. >> Yeah. You could have if money to do it, 365 00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:16,960 right? I mean that could be 366 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:23,279 » like raised and and concrete >> after Yeah. whatever. I mean 367 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:28,679 » we have to go another 20 ft. >> I think it's from the crosswalk 368 00:28:24,559 --> 00:28:28,679 » from the stop bar or from the crosswalk, 369 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:36,640 » but you would gain pedestrian space >> instead of just I mean I know they're 370 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,880 going to use it for snow plows. >> Yeah. Yeah, 371 00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:40,640 » you know the snow's going to go there. >> Safe limited 372 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,760 » till they I mean they're going to have taken it out a few days later, you know, 373 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,520 but that's >> Oh, Tim. 374 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,399 » Oh, we don't do that. >> He just rejoined it. 375 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:56,480 » Oh, I had one other question. >> Okay. 376 00:28:54,240 --> 00:29:00,799 » Page 51 of consent. >> 51. 377 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:05,600 I think you're good, Marcus. Thanks, Marcus. 378 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:12,720 » Um, what do we got here? US Bank 136. 379 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:15,760 » One of them refunds we got a new or >> those are bond payments. 380 00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:21,120 » Oh, they're okay. One's refund and the other one at four 381 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:24,240 that's state revenue revolving fund at 423. 382 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:28,640 » Yep. So they're those are are those are both bond payments. Um 383 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:34,559 » both come off pretty quick though within 10 years. So I know the US bank and 384 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:40,480 trust uh is uh water sewer uh revolving fund. Um so those will be between 2030 385 00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:47,200 and 2032. >> Um the other one is Yeah. 2021 general 386 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:48,159 obligation. So that's that's for city hall. 387 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,919 » City hall. >> Yeah.

So that comes off in 2041. 390 00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,080 » 2040 2041. >> And then the 423 for the sewer. sewer 391 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,159 » is is water sewer. >> We got to be coming up on the end of 392 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:07,440 that >> the 2030 to 2032. So somewhere in that 393 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:14,799 couple range. Yeah. >> God just hate seeing seven digit numbers 394 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:20,720 leaving me. >> Thank you. 395 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:23,520 » Okay. Anything else? >> Unless there's questions. 396 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:28,880 » Okay. Thank you for your good report. 397 00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:33,360 Um, I just want to remind everybody under my report that there is a 398 00:30:30,399 --> 00:30:38,000 walkthrough of the Pelum for council and staff on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. If you 399 00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:42,240 can join us, wear some good shoes. 400 00:30:39,919 --> 00:30:48,480 » Can I drive there? >> You can drive and park behind the fire 401 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:52,720 station, walk up the hill. >> Will there be a shuttle? 402 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:56,960 » You could you there will not be a shuttle that I'm that I'm aware of. if 403 00:30:55,039 --> 00:31:01,600 it becomes available. Well, that's still >> I I can pick you up if you need Ray. 404 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:05,240 » I got to see it that bad. I'll just hobble up there. 405 00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:16,640 » I'm just interested in that long one. >> Joe, the I saw there was a meeting I 406 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:24,640 guess today for discuss proposed R&D permitted uses. Was there anything of 407 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:32,320 interest or to note? So, um, we last updated our zoning ordinance 408 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:34,799 in February of 2023. I'm 409 00:31:32,399 --> 00:31:37,360 » sure you all remember that fantastic discussion we had. 410 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,320 » I guess it was, if you remember, a long process, 411 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,120 but the official date that our zoning ordinance was last updated, it was 412 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:47,760 February 2023. >> We had to update a issue with the 413 00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:51,440 storage notation or something. There was a mistake. I thought that was the last 414 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:55,039 we did. We well I think we did quite a bit in in that 415 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,799 » and before that we more we had one last update. 416 00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:01,200 » I think there might have been like formbbased code and all sorts of stuff 417 00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:04,799 that that appeared. Um, 418 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:10,720 one of the principal uses in the R&D district that 419 00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:14,880 is no longer uh in the ordinance is contractor 420 00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:17,880 establishments. Um, 421 00:32:18,159 --> 00:32:26,559 like Phoenix Contractors is there and 422 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:31,600 QED Environmental is there and what's the other one? We had one 423 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:35,039 other one. Um >> anyway, there's three there's three 424 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,559 examples that are there, but for whatever reason, we no longer have that 425 00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:43,360 in our zoning ordinance. >> I tried to go back during the meeting 426 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:51,760 and see the notes, couldn't find that. It might be that just got omitted, but 427 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:56,159 uh Ryan Joss is trying to explore all options for the property 428 00:32:53,679 --> 00:33:01,519 videos. And so he was asking that type of question that that was brought up. Um 429 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:07,039 there was some conversation as to whether some of the light industrial 430 00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:10,640 uses that we have could overlap the R&D district just because we have such a 431 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:18,480 small R&D area or light industrial area when 432 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:25,440 you think about the the area back here which is essentially treatment plant and 433 00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:29,679 uh Alpha Metals. And then um >> over on Second Street where we have the 434 00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:33,440 old Adair printing building and the telecom place that just added their 435 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,760 front porch. And >> Mhm. 436 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:40,720 » Um I wouldn't say there's a whole lot that came out of the meeting other than 437 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,600 we encouraged we encouraged them if they had a 438 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:49,120 question to write a letter to the planning commission with their ideas for 439 00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:53,760 discussion. Then we just tried to explain the logic 440 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:57,679 of how the R&D district was set up. Best thing to do. 441 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:03,320 » That's basically what the meeting was, Joe. 442 00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:03,320 » Okay. Thank you. Oh, 443 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:09,839 » and as a part of that, I I talked about, you know, the there's a delicate balance 444 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:14,800 on that corridor between the schools and the business research park and, you 445 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:20,879 know, uses that add heavy amounts of traffic or truck traffic or traffic at 446 00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:27,679 the key times of day that the schools create 447 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:34,079 a busy stretch of traffic. Um, but I think he's just looking for as 448 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:37,280 many options as possible to, you know, build there. 449 00:34:35,839 --> 00:34:42,159 » Okay. He hasn't started obviously building those storage units that he 450 00:34:40,399 --> 00:34:48,760 um that he got approved for. So, he's 451 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,760 searching, I think. 452 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,679 » Oh, one more question. >> Yes, sir. 453 00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:55,200 » Oh, go ahead. >> Oh, no, no, you go ahead. I had one one 454 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,680 more thing to add. >> I just wanted to follow up on the fire 455 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:05,440 station concrete meeting. I know it was just this morning. 456 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:12,240 » Yeah. So, so uh um it was a relatively short meeting. Um essentially, uh OM is 457 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:19,680 going to provide uh Cunningham Limp with the most recent um uh elevation shots 458 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:22,320 that they took of of the um area underneath the pergola. 459 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:27,520 » Okay. the uh the area underneath the pergola has been um trapping water. It's 460 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:32,320 been it's been bird bathing. It's been holding water. 461 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:37,440 » Um and so there's been questions about um what to do about that area and 462 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:42,800 whether or not there there's a concrete issue from an from an 463 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:47,520 engineering perspective. But based on um the meeting this morning 464 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:53,040 there there is like that area is flat and so it's not sloped to be able to 465 00:35:49,839 --> 00:35:57,359 shed the water and so they per the the meeting this morning they will have to 466 00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:00,960 do something. Um but uh Cunningham is going to take a look at what OM sends 467 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,520 them and and um make a recommendation. >> Are you talking outside of their lounge 468 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:09,280 area? >> Did they ever define the leak 469 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:14,640 into the commons area? Uh so so they they they have resolved the interior 470 00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:18,400 building leak. >> Uh it sounds like there may be a leak in 471 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:23,440 the bay. >> Um that that that they're working to 472 00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:29,119 figure out where that's coming from. >> And where are we at on at the concrete 473 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:33,920 apron there? We finished all that out. >> Yes. Well, so I I uh drafted an 474 00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:40,160 agreement and I I shared it with Scott Manzel, who I still have to follow up 475 00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:42,160 with um to get a attorney review on that. 476 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,720 » We should see that in September. >> Mhm. 477 00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:49,280 » Yeah. You wrap that up. >> Mhm. Yeah. But then I I have to send it 478 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:55,040 back to Cunningham Lymph and their subcontractor for their blessing or, you 479 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:58,800 know, yay or nay on that. Um so I would expect to see it in September. 480 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:03,280 » All right. Thank you. 481 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:07,920 » One last thing kind of going back to my report real quick.

Okay. 522 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:24,720 From what I remember of when we originally 523 00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:32,400 did the alarm the type of thing for the police alarms back whenever it was done 524 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:39,040 is my remembering and I could be wrong but at the time we had said you know it 525 00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:42,240 was people had alarm systems in their house and you know they'd leave their 526 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:47,040 windows open and their curtains would flap around and sl set off 527 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:50,880 uh motion detector and the police would come out and look and say, "Oh, there's 528 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:56,160 nobody home." And you know, they'd leave and they would get these on a regular 529 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:59,920 basis. And people weren't uh 530 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:03,920 people weren't addressing those concern. They were letting them go. And the 531 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:08,880 intent of the ordinance at the time was to make sure that they did address those 532 00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:13,359 things and that they didn't reoccur. And um I I know it's not in the ordinance 533 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:18,160 now, but I could have swore at originally there was a you know uh the 534 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:24,480 first time something like that happened, it was a education moment and we'd let 535 00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:27,520 them know and u you know if it happened again then it was going to then it was 536 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:34,800 something that we would start billing back cost for. Um I I don't know that I 537 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:39,200 agree with with the chief in some of the you know 538 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,640 some of the thoughts that are there about 539 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:48,960 um that people are going to be less likely to 540 00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:54,240 I guess to to activate their alarms. I mean, I I don't know how they can, 541 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:59,280 you know, the whole idea is for them to be more vigilant, to be more conscious, 542 00:41:56,240 --> 00:42:06,079 to be more, you know, engaged when they're using these type of systems. And 543 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:11,040 our issue is when there's a problem and nobody steps up and says, "We'll address 544 00:42:09,359 --> 00:42:17,359 that." and then all of a sudden the city gets potentially a, you know, tens of 545 00:42:14,319 --> 00:42:24,280 thousands of dollars in billing back because of the way we allocate our 546 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,280 billing. So, 547 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:30,960 I would I would like there to be and I thought about this. I don't know that it 548 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:34,480 necessarily needs to be in the ordinance. I mean, I read through it 549 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:39,200 really quickly and it says there's there's an automatic appeal or I 550 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:46,800 shouldn't say automatic. There is the ability for people to appeal um to us. 551 00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:55,200 » To us. Exactly. Um I didn't know if we could have a policy that said that we 552 00:42:50,240 --> 00:43:00,000 would allow you know the the if an issue came up for allow the first 553 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:03,920 one if somebody had a problem that you know obviously came up and they weren't 554 00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:11,440 aware of and then they addressed it um to way of a first one. Um, 555 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:15,760 but it's it's really trying to, in my 556 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:23,200 opinion, trying to address something that um could be a larger issue for the 557 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:28,720 city overall because it wasn't addressed when it should. Um, I mean, another 558 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:33,839 option would be is if the DFD says, "Okay, we're not going to bill for false 559 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:40,160 alarms." Great. that if that addresses the issue as well, you know, I'm I'm 560 00:43:37,359 --> 00:43:44,240 fine with that. Also, I just don't with with the issues that we're having as far 561 00:43:42,319 --> 00:43:49,359 as budgets and stuff goes. I think it's important that we have something that 562 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:53,520 gives us some mechanism that says you have to be responsible for and take 563 00:43:51,359 --> 00:43:58,720 responsibility for a system that you have. And I mean, the 564 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:04,319 other part of this is let's say somebody pulls a fire alarm, 565 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:08,160 right? just literally, you know, there's a false alarm and 566 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:12,480 intentionally obviously there's criminal things that go along with that, but I 567 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:18,400 mean, we don't have any way to recoup those costs right now, you know, 568 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:22,160 necessarily. So, um, and and even in that case, the other 569 00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:25,200 thing that I thought about is what happens when there's false alarms and 570 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:29,920 they're related to somebody who's the tenant versus the owner of the property 571 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:34,880 because we're going to attach the the fees to the property. Now, I I think 572 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:39,280 most landlords would be within their rights to hold their tenants responsible 573 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:44,800 for those type of those issues and things, but but um 574 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:51,760 I know there's a lot there. I've just been thinking about it. Um, like I said, 575 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:57,760 I I would prefer there to be a um some way to allow either through a policy or 576 00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:01,200 administratively we say, "Okay, it happened one time. We understand it's a 577 00:44:59,359 --> 00:45:07,040 learning experience and it's not going to happen again." Um, and if it does, 578 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:12,240 there's associated um costs that are with that. Um, 579 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:16,000 or if we just let it go through and say, "We understand you had an issue. File an 580 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,800 appeal if that's what it is and you say, "This was the first time it happened. 581 00:45:17,359 --> 00:45:24,800 I've taken care of it. It won't happen again." That's fine, too. I mean, if we 582 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:30,400 want to go with that tack um uh I think it's important to have it one 583 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:36,400 way or another. So, so in your example of 584 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:42,720 uh like you know one free pass so to speak 585 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:45,920 » how often would they get the free pass? I mean is it they get they get one a 586 00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:49,280 year? >> I agree with you. there needs to be 587 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:53,200 something that calls out something like that and and I don't 588 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:58,720 because >> well some of the discussion that we had 589 00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:01,040 previously like you know the 3,000 is obviously based upon the cost per run 590 00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:05,599 » right >> okay but it's an awfully steep number it 591 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:10,800 is okay I mean on purpose right but if there's a good explanation you'd hate to 592 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:14,160 have to have somebody pay something when there was a reason for it you know as 593 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:20,560 the chief mentions there's reasons for false alarms that happen unbeknownst to 594 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,440 even if it's working. Right. >> Right. And that's why there's an appeals 595 00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:28,520 process. >> Correct. Yeah. Correct. Um 596 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:36,880 you know I I I think one of the questions we asked was how many of these 597 00:46:33,839 --> 00:46:39,920 did happen have happened in like the last year and I'm wondering how many 598 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:43,040 appeals we're going to have in the course of a year. 599 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:46,079 » You know don't really want it to be a part of the agenda. Mhm. 600 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:51,359 » appeals the council. >> Well, and that's why I said that maybe 601 00:46:49,119 --> 00:46:57,520 there's there's a policy that we implement that allows a certain amount 602 00:46:53,920 --> 00:47:01,000 of that being addressed. >> Pablo, welcome. 603 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:14,200 » Hi, folks. I honestly my concern is the cost that we're asking. I think $3,000 604 00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:14,200 is a steep cost even for um 605 00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:23,680 It just I think it's too much too severe of a penalty to ask uh people to pay in 606 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:28,400 case of um a fire alarm mistakenly going off even if it's several times 607 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:35,599 especially if it's elderly um and accidentally pushing the alarm um I know 608 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:40,800 you know through family members in the past who've had those incidences and um 609 00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:46,400 there's not always a cognition to be able to know if you're pushing that 610 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:50,839 alarm uh when it needs to be pushed. Um it and that $30,000 611 00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:59,599 cost it just seems too severe considering that there are plenty of 612 00:47:54,880 --> 00:48:05,680 criminal um fees I guess that people sometimes have to pay if they break the 613 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:11,440 law that are never at that level. So, I do favor having something. I It's just 614 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:18,160 that $3,000 as it stands currently seems way way uh 615 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:22,280 too steep of a number for me to um to be comfortable with. 616 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:32,880 » Um thank you. I I agree with the conversations. I think um my question is 617 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:38,000 like um what are the numbers like how big of a problem this is and I think 618 00:48:35,359 --> 00:48:44,240 Justin is currently counting. >> Yeah, it it's uh it's 20 uh that were 619 00:48:41,599 --> 00:48:51,920 within a 12-month period um from May to May 620 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:58,000 and six of those were from the same location. 621 00:48:54,160 --> 00:49:02,720 » So thank you. Um, another option. I I do agree that a 622 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:09,760 $3,000 all of a sudden it it's it's a big 623 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:15,680 amount for for people. Um, my suggestion suggestion would be to 624 00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:21,760 have a tiered sort of thing. If it's your first 625 00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:26,800 offense that is actually it's something maybe it's an educational thing, we say 626 00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:34,640 it's okay. The second one is like $500 and then the third one is,000 and after 627 00:49:29,839 --> 00:49:39,040 that becomes 3,000. um something that is and numbers I just, you know, came up 628 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:45,839 with, but something that is more tiered towards helping with that education and 629 00:49:43,359 --> 00:49:52,520 um not all of a sudden having somebody with 630 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,520 a $3,000 bill. 631 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,119 Is that a bad idea? 632 00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:09,920 thoughts, >> Pablo? Uh, 633 00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:17,760 » I honestly think Sam's idea is great. Um, I think a small penalty with a 634 00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:25,599 second or even third uh false alarm is a very very good um cautionary warning 635 00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:29,800 prior to the full price kicking in. Um, I think Sonoma is spot on. 636 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:37,839 So, where would we say that, Justin? >> Email. 637 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:41,680 » The tiered idea. Where would that be incorporated? 638 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:44,720 » I was going to say I thought we had a lot of our or number of our ordinances 639 00:50:43,359 --> 00:50:47,599 say as set by >> Right. Well, that's the special 640 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,960 assessment part is what I'm thinking. Right. 641 00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:55,200 » Yeah. So, I I mean I would probably put it under fees and fees and regulations. 642 00:50:53,200 --> 00:51:03,359 Uh 50-125. >> What page on? uh page 66 643 00:50:59,839 --> 00:51:06,559 » and it does say not more than the actual cost. Doesn't say there's a minimum 644 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:12,240 amount. >> Yeah. And and I mean you could change it 645 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:16,079 to um an amount as set by council resolution. 646 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:19,920 » Yeah. And then that would be easier to change. 647 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:22,240 » Yeah, that's where I'm going with it. Okay. 648 00:51:20,319 --> 00:51:26,240 » Don't we have like a fee schedule that we can 649 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,800 » add it there? So, we update that instead of 650 00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:33,800 » Well, and if it's a fee set by council, the first fee could be zero for the 651 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,800 first time. 652 00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:45,200 » Please come on up. I can't believe you waited this long. 653 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:52,079 Welcome, Chief. Thank you. And I nothing in my memo actually 654 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:58,640 contradicts what synonymous predicted or proposed that you know I I think for 655 00:51:54,880 --> 00:52:05,440 habitual defend uh offenders there is there should be some escalating penalty. 656 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:09,680 I I would just ask that maybe there be a discussion about what 657 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:16,480 is a false alarm >> because we code things as false alarms 658 00:52:13,359 --> 00:52:22,240 such as somebody was cooking and burned the toast or burned something and that's 659 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:28,720 an accident as opposed to a an equipment malfunction. And we've had instances 660 00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:32,559 where smoke from outside from burning leaves or something else has come in and 661 00:52:30,559 --> 00:52:38,079 actually set off a smoke detector. That's that's the system working as it 662 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:43,440 should, but still generates a response that 663 00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:48,160 results in maybe us coding it as a a false alarm because we get there and 664 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:54,240 there's not a fire or a problem found. a spider getting into a smoke detector or 665 00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:59,680 dust can trigger u the the alarm. So I think there are instances where even the 666 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:05,440 most diligent owners can run into a situation that 667 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:09,760 results in an alarm triggering that is not 668 00:53:07,359 --> 00:53:14,240 necessarily a an equipment problem or a failure on their part to to do 669 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:19,920 something. Right now, we are responding to a house where a neighbor hears a 670 00:53:17,839 --> 00:53:25,359 smoke alarm going off inside a house and called. Um, they're not finding 671 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:29,599 anything. We'll probably classify that as a false alarm, but the homeowners 672 00:53:27,599 --> 00:53:34,960 wasn't home, didn't call, the neighbor called. So, I I just think there are a 673 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:40,240 number of sort of situational like this that get lumped into false 674 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:45,839 alarm category. And the one that the six within a 675 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:50,240 two-day period at the same address that was really over 40 alarms, we had 676 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:53,920 somebody that was stationed there and kept just resetting it, resetting, 677 00:53:51,599 --> 00:53:57,359 resetting it because it was a faulty water sensor. And our only other option 678 00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:00,880 was to turn the sprinkler off to the whole building. And we didn't want to do 679 00:53:59,359 --> 00:54:04,960 that at 2 in the morning when there were people there sleeping and and sort of 680 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:10,319 take away their fire suppression. So we we helped manage some of those false 681 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:14,640 alarms to keep those numbers down. Um but we did leave a couple times and 682 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:20,160 kept after we responded back a few times then we we sort of managed it by by 683 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:26,160 staying there on site. So uh I I think there is a a place for this type of 684 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:31,599 ordinance and you certainly should have the ability to capture it for sort of 685 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:38,319 non-compliance. But I would just caution uh to not be too broad because as I said 686 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:42,640 um you know I I think it does disincentivize people who are 687 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:48,640 discretionarily choosing to connect their alarm systems 688 00:54:45,119 --> 00:54:53,520 to a uh a system that phones into a central center and does summit help even 689 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:57,520 if they can't do it. you know, if they know that there is a potential 690 00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:03,520 significant penalty for the very first time that the the system doesn't work as 691 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:09,680 designed or summons help unnecessarily, then I I think their decision or others 692 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:13,680 decisions to to move forward with that sort of protection, which is something 693 00:55:11,359 --> 00:55:21,040 we're trying to educate and promote, could be interfered with, impacted. 694 00:55:17,599 --> 00:55:26,720 » So, let me ask a question. Um, Doug, you're pretty good at writing. Uh, 695 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:31,040 would you have you have you read our definition of false alarm? 696 00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:35,920 I mean, maybe not lately, but could would you would it make sense for us to 697 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:40,800 maybe postpone this one more time and let him work on the definition a little 698 00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:43,920 bit for us to see to for those other circumstances that aren't as 699 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:49,520 intended? >> Well, I or do or do you like like 700 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:54,079 leaving it this way? No, I I think the problem that we're going to run into is 701 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:57,359 trying to get a definition that fits every potential scenario, blah blah 702 00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:02,160 blah. Yeah. >> Well, and that's why I said originally, 703 00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:05,599 I think the first one, you should, you know, give somebody grace on the first 704 00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:09,680 one or if we have something that elevates over time, then that works as 705 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:14,240 well. I think that >> yeah I I think that an easy one would be 706 00:56:12,319 --> 00:56:19,920 right after a first response that's determined 707 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:25,040 to be a fixable you know or equipment issue that is not addressed a return 708 00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:30,799 response generates a that's kind of >> like and frankly the I know you guys 709 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:36,000 worked with the the the department worked with managing that one particular 710 00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:40,720 multiply it and stuff but frankly that's not what you should be doing the the 711 00:56:38,799 --> 00:56:43,760 whoever the building >> we we we got it dealt with the ne very 712 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:47,119 very next morning but >> I understand but 713 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,839 » but literally the phone call should have gone to that person and they should have 714 00:56:48,319 --> 00:56:52,400 been there that night and they should have been there turning the alarm 715 00:56:51,119 --> 00:56:54,160 » we completely agree and we made the phone calls they just didn't get 716 00:56:53,599 --> 00:57:00,799 answered so >> right and exactly the whole point so so 717 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:05,280 I and and really that was the discussion that we had that sort of kicked off this 718 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:08,640 whole investigation and stuff >> right so I I mean I again I think we 719 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:14,240 could come up with a definition that says, you know, as we talked about in 720 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:20,079 the first case, we make a response, they're they're instructed to to get a 721 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:26,400 service obtained, they don't do it, we come back, then that certainly says 722 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:30,720 something actionable. I I think that providing an emergency number that 723 00:57:28,079 --> 00:57:36,240 doesn't get answered or, you know, they don't provide a call tree that does 724 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:41,760 connect us with someone at the moment of alarm in the middle of the night or on a 725 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:45,200 weekend. That also could be then another reason because you're right, we we did 726 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:51,359 tie up resources. Unfortunately, we didn't need them elsewhere, but 727 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:58,200 » that was not what we're equipped to do. >> Yep. 728 00:57:52,079 --> 00:57:58,200 » So, I I agree. Yeah. So, Pablo, 729 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:09,359 » uh, thank you, Chief. Um, I wanted to make a comment regarding this, um, 730 00:58:05,839 --> 00:58:16,400 incident where multiple alarms went off, but only six, it was marked as six um, 731 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:21,119 calls. Um, did that, does that mean that only six of them were build to the city? 732 00:58:19,359 --> 00:58:25,839 Um, right. Did we essentially pay for six calls in that particular situation? 733 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:28,960 » It's just um honestly >> and I can say that even even for this 734 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:33,599 building >> uh when the elevator was first put in or 735 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:38,400 the the smoke detector or something, there were multiple alarms and we wrote 736 00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:41,760 it down as one even though we our our guys got up in the middle of the night, 737 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:46,000 came over here, reset the alarm panel four or five times in the middle of the 738 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:51,920 night and we we only charged one run for for managing that situation. So uh 739 00:58:49,839 --> 00:58:57,520 » well sir I think we just find ourselves in a situation where there are two 740 00:58:54,240 --> 00:59:05,520 decision-m points here. One is on your end where you choose based on um the 741 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:10,799 situation how many times you feel is fair to call it a false alarm right 742 00:59:08,559 --> 00:59:16,720 because the intent of this entire conversation is to recuperate costs uh 743 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:22,079 that the city incurs uh because of the false alarms. So theoretically should 744 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:25,920 then the city right we're essentially having you 745 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:31,359 prefilter that decision-m process for us right you 746 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:39,680 tell us hey it's not 40 it's actually just six uh but so there's some 747 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:47,119 some things that this ordinance will have very little control over so the 748 00:59:44,319 --> 00:59:52,960 council I guess the question and the comment for the council is how 749 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:57,680 comfortable are we where the actual number of false alarms that 750 00:59:55,359 --> 01:00:02,160 we'll get to the city to action on is not something that necessarily is in um 751 01:00:00,319 --> 01:00:07,480 control the ordinance in the first place and chief if you can comment on that as 752 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,480 well would appreciate that. 753 01:00:08,079 --> 01:00:14,640 Well, well, I think we're we're not trying to manipulate the numbers, but we 754 01:00:12,319 --> 01:00:20,720 are trying to be respectful of of how the current fund 755 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:24,880 allocation is assigned. So, in in the case of the waterflow alarm that kept 756 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:29,760 going off, we just contacted dispatch and said, "Don't type these up. Don't 757 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:34,480 page these out. Don't count these as calls. You know, we're here on site. 758 01:00:32,319 --> 01:00:38,640 We're going to when it goes off about the time you get the phone call, we're 759 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:42,640 already in there resetting it." And uh so we we just chose to manage that 760 01:00:40,559 --> 01:00:48,000 situation. That's not how we typically handle it because as you can see from 761 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:54,799 the history of alarms over the last year, we've not had a significant number 762 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:59,280 of repeat offenders. For the most part, we go there, we we find that there's an 763 01:00:56,799 --> 01:01:05,280 issue, we get with the right person and say, "This needs to be fixed." And they 764 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:11,040 take care of it. And uh you know that reduces and hopefully 765 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:17,200 for the most part eliminates this sort of repeat problem. 766 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:21,760 » Floor is still yours. >> My followup question to that would be so 767 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:28,960 imagine that in that situation the ordinance was already in place and was 768 01:01:24,079 --> 01:01:34,960 voted as to have one. um knowing that um in this instance six alarms would 769 01:01:31,119 --> 01:01:40,400 trigger uh Sam's idea of cascades and you would know that substantial 770 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:47,119 financial penalty would be incurred. Would you see yourself as billing it 771 01:01:44,079 --> 01:01:53,760 only as one incident or would you still um put it as six separate calls even 772 01:01:49,839 --> 01:01:58,640 though it was um 40 actual true alarms to start with? 773 01:01:56,559 --> 01:02:04,000 We tend to I mean we have a definition for what's a 774 01:02:00,799 --> 01:02:10,400 call and you know it's it's a it's a response out of the building you know 775 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:19,200 after a dispatch uh it includes a dispatch and it generates a a run number 776 01:02:14,799 --> 01:02:25,760 in our CAD system. So we we we tend to honor those. It's just in this case uh 777 01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:31,119 the same wi way with the case uh here in the city. We we managed those alarms 778 01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:36,799 because we were on site and we heard them and we were able to reset them 779 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:43,119 before that whole cascade reached the point of it being considered 780 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:49,520 a call. And that's that was a decision we made to do because we were there and 781 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:54,960 able to do it. But if if we get a if we get dispatched a call and we start to 782 01:02:51,760 --> 01:03:02,160 respond and whether we get canceled in route or we get there and find out that 783 01:02:57,839 --> 01:03:08,319 there's no emergency, then we do count that as false alarm and we document that 784 01:03:05,599 --> 01:03:12,640 as a run. >> Pablo, we need to talk about that more 785 01:03:10,079 --> 01:03:15,920 at DFD. I I guess so. 786 01:03:14,079 --> 01:03:19,440 » Okay. What's what's the difference between 787 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:22,799 go ahead keep going? >> Uh I think I mean this actually answered 788 01:03:21,359 --> 01:03:25,839 my question perfectly. That's the part that I was worried about the 789 01:03:23,839 --> 01:03:30,720 technicality of it. But if the chief says that yes we're already there so 790 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:36,559 technically they can respond to obviously continuation of the false 791 01:03:33,359 --> 01:03:41,839 signal. U that's one thing because what my worry was is what is fair in one 792 01:03:39,119 --> 01:03:46,000 situation uh might not be perceived as unfair in another. And then we have a 793 01:03:43,839 --> 01:03:49,680 situation where someone who's getting a penalty would be upset because they feel 794 01:03:48,079 --> 01:03:54,799 like they were not treated the same as someone else. But if the chief says that 795 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:59,440 yes, clearly we were there and while we were technically still on the same call, 796 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:02,559 that shouldn't be counting as a false alarm because we were physically there 797 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:07,280 present responding. >> Then they return they return and now 798 01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:11,520 five minutes later they have to repack everything and go again. Then there's a 799 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:14,720 clear technical distinction between the calls which makes me a lot more 800 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:19,359 comfortable with >> Yeah. And that's how we got the 801 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:25,200 designation is we we we attempted to leave or did leave and got called back 802 01:04:21,839 --> 01:04:31,200 and you know eventually said okay this this is going to continue. So we made 803 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:36,680 the decision to to stay on scene and just continue to manage it from from a 804 01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,680 scene. 805 01:04:37,039 --> 01:04:44,640 Thank you for answering my questions, >> Ray. 806 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:51,920 Um, do most of our false alarms unless how 807 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:56,720 many are fire alarms that are false versus medical? 808 01:04:54,640 --> 01:05:01,839 » There were three or four medical I think on that list. I don't have it in front. 809 01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:05,680 » All right. Because I I know when I run calls, the majority of our calls are 810 01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:09,760 medical. And then um you know the fire alarms 811 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:14,079 every commercial building should be alarmed. I'm amazed their insurance 812 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:19,280 doesn't require it. I used to drive to Whitmore late 4 in the morning because 813 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:26,319 the meet cops out there. So I know it can be done and our alarm company was 814 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:31,359 very adamant about um billing us if there was more than x amount in a month. 815 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:36,400 So I I don't know we want to look at that. My other thing is 816 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:40,880 is the commercial versus residential. Commercial is different than 817 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:45,760 residential. And I'm I'm trying to figure out where the medical fits into 818 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:53,119 the residential because I know we extend a courtesy to certain people that 819 01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:58,799 require extra help and stuff and and that's fine. I'm almost willing to 820 01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:01,920 subsidize it just because of how long they've been in the area and what 821 01:06:00,319 --> 01:06:08,480 they've given to the community and everything. But when I look at 822 01:06:05,839 --> 01:06:13,920 my report from the fire department and I see my budget, you know, 823 01:06:11,599 --> 01:06:18,799 you know, it multiplied 10 times, I think, within 10 years. So, it's getting 824 01:06:15,839 --> 01:06:22,000 to the point where it's becoming it's becoming dire. Um, 825 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:27,920 » speaking to the medical alarm specifically, that's that's the alarm 826 01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:32,720 pendant that, you know, seniors can can sign up for and in the event they fall 827 01:06:31,039 --> 01:06:37,760 or in the event they're they're ill and unable to get to a phone or someone 828 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:43,200 help, they can push a button. Those those buttons do get pushed 829 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:47,520 accidentally. They sometimes get uh worn outside the home and sometimes when they 830 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:53,039 just get out of distance from the home base, they'll activate. Uh so there are 831 01:06:50,559 --> 01:06:57,920 a number of ways that those can generate a a request for assistance that turns 832 01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:01,599 out to be false. >> At the same time, I do notice certain 833 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:04,960 trends where the same address will call within three to four days. You know, 834 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:08,400 it's like there's an ongoing situation. Perhaps they just return, 835 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:12,400 you know, we >> and that's a courtesy. I understand that 836 01:07:10,319 --> 01:07:17,440 » we do make recommendations to social services, connect them with resources, 837 01:07:14,559 --> 01:07:22,400 provide them information about additional care that we think they might 838 01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:29,039 need when it's clear that they're sort of relying on the fire department for 839 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:33,760 care that they might need to be seeking elsewhere. So you do extend sort of an 840 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:36,640 educational >> Absolutely. 841 01:07:34,559 --> 01:07:40,240 » supplement to them because I think that's what 842 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:46,799 » when I look at the runs I automatically fire or medical and I I know 90 out of 843 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:51,520 100 are medical and then there's a million degrees of medical. So, I don't 844 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:57,839 know. Do you treat three times 845 01:07:55,119 --> 01:08:02,720 in two days as false or are those regular calls because they went through 846 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:08,480 911 or it you know oftent times the it it 847 01:08:06,319 --> 01:08:14,400 depends for false what we consider false is some 848 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:18,319 sort of electronic system that summons help and we get there and there's no 849 01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:23,839 help needed. I think that we differentiate that from 850 01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:28,960 some sort of service call where we're providing 851 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:34,159 uh lifting assistance for someone who's fallen and is unable to get up and their 852 01:08:31,679 --> 01:08:41,279 spouse is unable to help them up. Uh you know, we we do respond, we help them and 853 01:08:38,239 --> 01:08:46,319 check them out, find no injuries, return to service. And some of those 854 01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:51,120 I mean as you look at the reports there's two or three addresses where uh 855 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:56,960 we do make frequent course and that goes with the 856 01:08:53,440 --> 01:09:00,880 population as we age. So I just turned 70. I might be calling you guys all the 857 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:05,839 time from now on. I mean I don't know. >> Well, we'll come pick you up. 858 01:09:02,319 --> 01:09:11,679 » How much? Three bills. I ain't got a stack. uh that that was 859 01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:17,520 always been my number one consideration for as long as I've read a a re a review 860 01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:22,960 of uh runs, you know, though I've spotted that when 861 01:09:20,719 --> 01:09:26,080 um Chief Schmidt was over there. I think I even seen it back then bitching about 862 01:09:25,199 --> 01:09:30,960 it. >> You have a discussion coming up later 863 01:09:27,679 --> 01:09:40,239 about a change in the run or the the allocation of of cost which would soften 864 01:09:35,199 --> 01:09:44,359 the impact of of an individual call. >> Yeah, I'm uh 865 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:55,920 I'm just I'm I'm trying to be brutal here. It's like from a cost thing to a 866 01:09:54,080 --> 01:10:01,440 user thing, you know? That's I mean, I'm being as brutal as the formula is to 867 01:09:58,239 --> 01:10:05,120 charge me three grand. said, "Well, three grand to go up a flight of stairs, 868 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:10,000 three grand to fight a barn fire for 6 hours. You know, where's the parody 869 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:13,280 here? I can't get a handle on what's going on. I don't want us to subset 870 01:10:11,679 --> 01:10:19,440 everyone out. Two bales of hay, you know, $500. One farm, $1 million, 871 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:23,440 but I don't know how much more I can 872 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:27,199 subsidize. No matter 873 01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:31,760 how correct it's supposed to be, I you know, I'll just say it. I'm I'm just 874 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:34,960 being I'm just looking at worst case. You know, 875 01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:39,440 push comes to shove and I ain't got no money. 876 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:43,679 Now, I think the residential smoke alarms are 877 01:10:42,159 --> 01:10:47,920 small compared to commercial, but that's all 878 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:53,040 it's really dealing with is fire alarms. Not dealing with nothing medical. 879 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:59,120 I don't see anything in here that says medical, unless we're just defining all 880 01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:59,120 runs as fire runs. 881 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:05,520 Yeah, I mean defined differently because there's some police instances where fire 882 01:11:03,679 --> 01:11:09,360 wouldn't respond. >> Yeah. And then and the the report that 883 01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:14,640 the chief shared doesn't break it up by medical versus 884 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:21,800 » fire if it's it's it's just false alarm malfunctioning alarm and no emergency 885 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:21,800 false alarm accidental alarm. 886 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:30,800 » Okay. Okay. So, we've had two suggestions that I've heard. 887 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:38,239 Well, maybe it's not two, but maybe it's the same that the tiered approach. 888 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:42,640 Okay. So, Justin, where would that be? Does that affect the draft false alarm 889 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:48,560 ordinance or is that something that would be 890 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:52,640 incorporated into something we refer to that sets the penalty? 891 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:59,719 » Yeah. So, I would um >> because like the like 3000 isn't, you 892 01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,719 know, listed on page 66. 893 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:05,239 » Yeah. Yeah. So, I I would probably change section 50-125B 894 01:12:05,440 --> 01:12:12,719 on page 66 to something to the effect of um 895 01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:18,800 uh the fees charged to the owner unless he of an alarmed premises for a false 896 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:25,199 alarm in the schedule of fees uh shall be set per uh city council resolution 897 01:12:23,679 --> 01:12:29,719 or or something to that effect. >> So, we don't need to do the special 898 01:12:26,719 --> 01:12:29,719 assessment. 899 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:37,880 We we would we would still do the special assessment. Yes. 900 01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:43,040 I mean that's that's how we >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. 901 01:12:41,679 --> 01:12:48,440 » That's how we we would ultimately collect if they choose not to pay. 902 01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:55,600 » Okay. I see. That's if they don't pay. >> Yeah. The the the special assessment 903 01:12:54,159 --> 01:13:00,800 process is the >> Okay. So that's what I'm getting at. Do 904 01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:06,640 we want to send this back to let staff incorporate that idea or are we going to 905 01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:09,360 try to do this on the fly? >> I'm okay with going back and 906 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,199 » Yeah. >> and then seeing it one more time. 907 01:13:10,719 --> 01:13:14,239 » Yeah. >> Yeah. 908 01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:17,920 » So, what else do we what else do we want to and then maybe chief you could look 909 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:23,719 at our definition? >> I'm happy to help in any way if 910 01:13:20,239 --> 01:13:23,719 » if um 911 01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:31,679 there's a tweak there maybe. Joe, when you when you you mentioned 912 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:35,360 there's a a policy, talk to me about that policy again. 913 01:13:33,679 --> 01:13:40,320 » Well, what I suggested was that 914 01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:45,040 the way the ordinance is written, it doesn't there is no provision for 915 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:49,120 » administrative >> administratively addressed or not 916 01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:55,199 charging straight, right? >> That's Yeah, that's the way I read it. I 917 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:58,400 mean, you it says to set a I mean, it says to set a number. I hadn't thought 918 01:13:56,719 --> 01:14:02,239 about setting I mean, I did think about we could set it up in 919 01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:05,760 » I like the escalating better. I think that addresses that concern because 920 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:12,360 that's the policy we put. >> Do you want Do you want the ability for 921 01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,360 administration to handle 922 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:19,679 burnt toast? >> Yeah, that's the Z first one. 923 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:23,679 » Are you suggesting two? >> Well, no. I I'm saying do they have to 924 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:27,040 physically appeal it or can administration say we understand that's 925 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:31,120 your that's your first one as opposed to us having to hold some type of reason 926 01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:34,560 » I think administration handles all of them when they're zero if the first one 927 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:38,480 is zero they handle all of them right they just say okay here you go it's your 928 01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:43,440 first one it's zero it doesn't I mean I guess they could appeal it if they 929 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:47,280 wanted to but there's no associated with it 930 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:50,320 » is that what this reads though >> it doesn't read that way that's what I'm 931 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:53,920 getting Yeah. >> So, I mean, in order for it to be zero, 932 01:14:52,239 --> 01:14:57,679 they would have to appeal. >> No, not if we set it up for an 933 01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:03,360 escalating. First one was zero, second one was X, third one was Y, fourth one 934 01:15:00,239 --> 01:15:05,280 was Z, something like that because 935 01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:09,120 » Okay. I guess I'm not understanding where that's reflected is my problem. Is 936 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:12,719 that in the ordinance or is that in the schedule? 937 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:14,480 » That's what I would need to >> Yes. 938 01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:17,920 » Somehow it needs to say the first one's free in here in my opinion. Well, so I 939 01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:24,080 mean what we can do is we can just say in here is the first point of appeal is 940 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:28,800 administration. Second second second point of appeal is city council, but you 941 01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:31,280 can still have it where the fees are are are set separately by council 942 01:15:30,719 --> 01:15:36,640 resolution. >> I get that to me the fee is separate 943 01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:39,840 from how the like the issue is handled. >> Sure. 944 01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:44,960 » The ordinance covers how the issue is handled. the fee is what they pay if 945 01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:48,880 after it happens to me. 946 01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:54,719 » Yeah. And I'm I was just thinking that yes, that that I I agree that the first 947 01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:59,280 one the zero it's handled administratively and then we have two 948 01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:04,360 more tiers after that. So it's not super complicated or people constantly 949 01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:11,280 think it could be and the fees we can you know decide but like the second tier 950 01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:15,280 and then the third tier and then it stays at third tier basically every time 951 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:20,960 » like 500,000 or something like that. >> Yeah. Maybe 5 500,000 and then the 3,000 952 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:26,640 and it stays at that at from third and onward. 953 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:32,640 So, so what what I what I would plan to do then is prepare a separate resolution 954 01:16:30,480 --> 01:16:36,400 to be adopted separately by by council setting the the fee 955 01:16:34,159 --> 01:16:40,719 » fee. Okay. Okay. 956 01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:48,320 » Um, I would say if council wants to proceed 957 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:55,040 or or wants to to postpone this item, but wants to proceed with setting the 958 01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:59,360 public hearing for the um single lot assessment. 959 01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:04,239 » I would recommen do do it all at the same time on on the 960 01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:09,679 same day. You're saying wait on L2. 961 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:14,880 » I I would say wait on >> I thought I was following that enough. 962 01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:17,199 » Sorry. I would say postpone postpone L1 until the same date as L2. 963 01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:19,920 » Correct. >> Yeah. 964 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:22,159 » Yeah. But we could still set the >> correct do L2. 965 01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:27,600 » You can still do L2. >> Yeah. I'm with you. 966 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:31,840 So essentially what you're asking for or I'm going to ask for is there a motion 967 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:35,440 to postpone item L1 to allow staff to incorporate the items discussed today? 968 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:38,719 » So moved. >> I second. 969 01:17:36,480 --> 01:17:45,880 » Okay. Moved by Sam Faroh, second by Alde. And it's postponed to September 970 01:17:42,239 --> 01:17:45,880 28th meeting. 971 01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:52,480 Unless you have questions before that, you can ask them. But that's when we'll 972 01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:56,920 see it next. Yes. Everybody discuss everybody okay with 973 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,920 the pathon? 974 01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:04,239 » Okay. Please call the vote to postpone until September 28th to allow staff to 975 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:05,760 make the modifications to the ordinance. >> Alde, 976 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:08,480 » yes. >> Pop off. 977 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,760 » Yes. >> T. 978 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,199 » Yes. >> Serrow. 979 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,840 » Yes. >> The 980 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:17,280 » yes. Okay. Thank you. The motion post one 981 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:21,120 passes. Chief, thanks for your input on all this. 982 01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:26,320 Uh, new business or unfinished business item L2 is consideration of setting a 983 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:32,719 public hearing for September 28th. I move to uh consider setting a public 984 01:18:29,199 --> 01:18:37,199 hearing on September 28th, 2026 to consider adopting an amendment to the 985 01:18:34,480 --> 01:18:41,840 general code of ordinance section 42 special assessments. 986 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:46,400 » Okay. Motion by Aldag second by Saro. 987 01:18:44,239 --> 01:18:50,400 Any discussion on setting the public hearing date? 988 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:55,840 » No. >> No. Okay. Please call that vote. 989 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,120 » Tell >> yes. 990 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,480 » Alde, >> yes. 991 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,560 » Seero, >> yes. 992 01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:04,400 » Papa, >> yes. 993 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:07,920 » Yes. >> Motion carries. Okay. So, that puts 994 01:19:06,239 --> 01:19:14,640 those two items on the September 28th agenda. Thank you. Thanks again, Chief. 995 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:18,880 Uh new unfinished business item L3 is discussion of the Dexter Township Fire 996 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:25,440 Services proposal. At the last meeting, we asked that this be kept on until such 997 01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:30,239 time as we could formulate a response or have enough comments to make our own 998 01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:34,920 editable version back. Um has anybody had a chance to look at or have thoughts 999 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,920 on this? 1000 01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:44,640 If not, we'll keep on. >> Yes. Um so that was a a thought. Um I I 1001 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:47,679 see that the throughout the article or the the the 1002 01:19:47,199 --> 01:19:53,760 draft >> the draft thank you. Um 1003 01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:58,960 there was a change in um from main station and substations to substation 1004 01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:05,199 one two and three with Dexter being substation one. And as part of it, the 1005 01:20:01,679 --> 01:20:10,080 the first article one, the purpose um the the line that says the center of 1006 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:17,199 operations and control of the department be located in Dexter is crossed out. I 1007 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:25,040 still think that it would be beneficial to have a um sentence about 1008 01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:33,360 our fire station comparing to the other two because there was a great um level 1009 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:41,760 of discussion and details and conversation went on about why this 1010 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:49,280 station should have all the things that is part of a main station. Um, I mean 1011 01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:55,600 like our Dexter station, right? We did not just build another one that is like 1012 01:20:52,560 --> 01:21:01,920 Dexter Township or Webster Townships. We built this fire station based on 1013 01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:08,000 activities that would go on this one as the main station for the AFD. So I I was 1014 01:21:06,239 --> 01:21:13,440 thinking of something along that the center of the operation maybe not the 1015 01:21:11,199 --> 01:21:17,760 control. I I see why that could be a problematic 1016 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:24,000 phrase, but the center of the DAFFD operation shall be located in the city 1017 01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:30,320 of Dexter or at the station known as a station one. I'm fine with you know that 1018 01:21:26,480 --> 01:21:36,960 that it's a station one but just having if we are having chief's office there if 1019 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:41,280 we are having that to go with all the conversation we had 1020 01:21:39,199 --> 01:21:48,040 about why this station should have been built differently than any other station 1021 01:21:43,199 --> 01:21:48,040 is because it is our main station. 1022 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,640 » Okay. 1023 01:21:53,760 --> 01:22:01,679 else. >> Joe, 1024 01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:06,320 » the discussion that we had the sort of the the lead in from Dexter 1025 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:14,199 Township was they didn't believe that the way the funding is currently set up 1026 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:14,199 was a good policy. Um, 1027 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:23,520 they provided a chart that showed the breakdown of the funding back I think 1028 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:28,320 10-ish year, something like that. And at one point in time, Dexter Township was 1029 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:34,480 actually about where we are in terms of the way the breakdown is right now. So I 1030 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:37,920 I think in some ways part of it is, you know, they're looking at it and 1031 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:41,199 thinking, you know, maybe in five years this flips around and all of a sudden 1032 01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:45,520 we're in that position and they're funding it through a millage and they 1033 01:22:43,679 --> 01:22:49,920 would be in a similar situation that we're looking at that it's becoming a 1034 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:53,440 burden on the budget and I think they're looking for something that's more 1035 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:59,760 predictable, something that moves less slowly, um, you know, is tied to some of 1036 01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:04,480 the communities a little bit more and frankly 1037 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:08,239 what has been stated as is good policy versus what they see as as I said bad 1038 01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:13,520 policy. Mhm. >> So, um 1039 01:23:11,199 --> 01:23:18,080 because when you look at the numbers and stuff, Dexter Township is proposing this 1040 01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:24,800 and and and would be increasing the funding requirements that they would 1041 01:23:19,679 --> 01:23:30,639 have, but I think they probably see it from the aspect of what they're buying 1042 01:23:26,719 --> 01:23:37,040 is um some long-term stability and some predictability along with something that 1043 01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:45,000 they believe truly I I really get the feeling that they truly believe it's a 1044 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:45,000 more fair allocation. So, um, so I 1045 01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:51,360 the thing about these type of allocations of cost, there's literally 1046 01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:56,159 infinite ways you can break all these up. And um, 1047 01:23:54,239 --> 01:23:58,560 I don't think anybody is going to say, "I think we should do this." And 1048 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:03,920 everybody else is going to say, "Oh, yeah, that's the way we do it." And but 1049 01:24:00,719 --> 01:24:08,800 I think this one is is is it would be acceptable to me if that was 1050 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:11,800 what we ended up agreeing to as a >> DFD. 1051 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:23,520 Pavo Ray, any thoughts since last meeting? 1052 01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:31,280 » I think my thoughts still stand from uh where I was last time. Um I think the 1053 01:24:26,239 --> 01:24:38,080 formula does not incorporate enough. Um the algorithm is too simple. Um I don't 1054 01:24:34,719 --> 01:24:41,840 uh think the other factors uh like the value of the property or the value that 1055 01:24:40,239 --> 01:24:47,360 the certain members of the agreement are 1056 01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:52,880 protecting for the same cost uh is fair. Um so my comments from the previous 1057 01:24:50,159 --> 01:24:55,440 meeting are still still the same. 1058 01:24:53,440 --> 01:24:59,040 » You want to see you want to see tax taxable value or SUV involved in the 1059 01:24:57,440 --> 01:25:03,120 » Yes, absolutely. And I think it kind of goes with what uh Joe was pointing out 1060 01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:08,080 too. If you really want a more predictable uh model and you want an 1061 01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:13,120 algorithm that really is not going to wildly change uh the cost and take you 1062 01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:17,040 on a roller coaster ride, then you it's kind of like those numerical polomials, 1063 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:21,120 right? you need to have multiple factors so it gets in closer and closer to the 1064 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:26,239 reality on the ground, right? It's a better fit for the curve. So it has to 1065 01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:30,159 have more factors in the model and the current number of factors is just simply 1066 01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:36,480 um still will maintain that unpredictability and um honestly having 1067 01:25:33,679 --> 01:25:42,239 more factors is just there is more stability from it. So uh 1068 01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:48,800 and people can actually budget um consoles can budget ahead further ahead. 1069 01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:53,080 So yeah, I feel like we need to add more factors to the model. Thank you. 1070 01:25:55,440 --> 01:26:04,639 » Yeah, fine. >> Okay. Well, I I think Justin, I think 1071 01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:07,920 you and I need to sit down and maybe incorporate some of the stuff in and 1072 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:11,600 propose back what we might want to go back with. Is that something we could 1073 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:15,520 work on? Take it into account council's comments 1074 01:26:13,199 --> 01:26:19,760 and we don't meet with the group again until 1075 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:23,080 September, but we still have about one month to 1076 01:26:23,440 --> 01:26:27,000 get this in shape. 1077 01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:35,920 Okay. We'll keep putting in the packet just as an ongoing item. That's okay. 1078 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:40,880 Uh under unfinished business. Um okay to move to M1. New business item discussion 1079 01:26:38,480 --> 01:26:43,880 of the 2027 Broad Street roadwork design. 1080 01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:47,239 Thanks Scott. 1081 01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:52,280 Should have did that one first. 1082 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:05,760 So, how do you wanna you want to introduce this or 1083 01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:12,800 » Sure. Um, so, uh, as council should be aware, um, we 1084 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:20,719 received, uh, grant dollars, uh, to do road work on Broad Street in 2027. Uh so 1085 01:27:16,159 --> 01:27:28,159 this would be a uh starting in May, June going through probably September, 1086 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:33,440 August, September, uh 2027 uh road project. Uh part of Broad Street would 1087 01:27:31,199 --> 01:27:38,400 be fully reconstructed and a portion would be milen overlaid. Uh main main to 1088 01:27:36,480 --> 01:27:43,679 fifth would be milen overlaid and then uh fifth to third up to the pavement 1089 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:48,719 change over here would be reconstructed. Um but as a part of the design uh 1090 01:27:46,159 --> 01:27:53,760 essentially we're targeting uh the streetscape to mirror central 1091 01:27:52,159 --> 01:28:01,920 street. Um and uh to that end um Marcus with OM 1092 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:06,880 is here to uh point out uh things of note and ask questions and see if 1093 01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:11,040 council has any feedback on on the draft design. 1094 01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:14,800 Go. Um I was just thinking about something the 1095 01:28:13,199 --> 01:28:19,040 that hadn't occurred to me before literally this moment. 1096 01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:23,199 » Um Broad Streets are truck route, right? >> It is. Uh so is Central Street. 1097 01:28:21,679 --> 01:28:28,480 » Central Street is also >> Mhm. 1098 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:35,600 » Yeah. So uh Central uh is and then 1099 01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:40,239 fourth is a truck is is a major. I don't know if it is considered a truck 1100 01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:44,639 route. I'm g have to look. Okay. >> But uh fourth, Hudson, 1101 01:28:44,159 --> 01:28:49,679 » second, >> second are all majors. 1102 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:53,520 » I guess the only question is how do we manage truck traffic through town 1103 01:28:51,440 --> 01:28:57,120 because I mean semis are not going to be able to make the turn around onto 1104 01:28:55,199 --> 01:29:02,239 Central Street, but >> I can answer that. So this um is 1105 01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:05,760 actually going to be the same season that the 1106 01:29:04,239 --> 01:29:08,480 Joy um >> Oh yeah. 1107 01:29:06,239 --> 01:29:12,800 » roundabout happening. So that'll be another long summer. We don't have all 1108 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:15,840 the details from the county yet. That's a sign significant rebuild that 1109 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:18,560 roundabout. >> Sure. 1110 01:29:16,239 --> 01:29:22,639 » So that's going to limit a lot of through just because that project even 1111 01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:24,880 we weren't doing broad street. So the timing actually does went out pretty 1112 01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:27,679 well. >> Okay. Gotcha. 1113 01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:33,239 » I I hadn't even thought of that but Yeah, that's a great unintentional 1114 01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:39,080 » feature, not a bug. >> It's a feature, not a bug. 1115 01:29:39,199 --> 01:29:46,000 » Um, okay. Well, yeah, I just, uh, good evening, council. Thank you for the 1116 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:50,480 time. Um, just want to touch on a couple of the key points on the project, make 1117 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:55,040 sure everybody's aware some expectations of what the project is. Um, answer 1118 01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:58,639 questions. Uh there are a couple items that we are 1119 01:29:56,639 --> 01:30:04,560 looking for some feedback and I'll point those out specifically. But as Justin 1120 01:30:01,440 --> 01:30:08,159 mentioned, uh the reconstruction section uh which is between Fifth Street and 1121 01:30:06,639 --> 01:30:13,199 right around the curb where we left off when we did third and broad project 1122 01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:17,520 here, um is going to continue. And there's a graphic in the in the memo on 1123 01:30:15,440 --> 01:30:21,520 page 97 in your packet actually a picture of Central Street. So it will be 1124 01:30:18,719 --> 01:30:26,639 that exact same crosssection uh on street parallel parking both sides 1125 01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:33,679 of the road bike lanes lanes and then two travel lanes. Um the section between 1126 01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:38,560 fifth and main street is scheduled part of the same project that is just the 1127 01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:42,639 mill and resurface of the asphalt. I'll talk about the fifth street intersection 1128 01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:47,440 specifically in a minute. Um but that that section road we're not proposing to 1129 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:53,719 change the curve line. So that will go back essentially as it is now through 1130 01:30:49,440 --> 01:30:53,719 travel lanes and angle parking. 1131 01:30:54,719 --> 01:31:01,440 Um big piece of the project is the storm 1132 01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:07,360 water management. Uh so right now Broad Street is uh open shoulder not really 1133 01:31:04,639 --> 01:31:12,320 even very well defined ditches on the reconstruction section between fifth and 1134 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:16,719 third. Um so going with the curb cross section that will include um underground 1135 01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:22,159 storm sewer which will actually be directed um both directions. Some of the 1136 01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:26,480 some of it will outlet to the pipe that was put in that runs behind little 1137 01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:31,199 railroad building here and then down and outlets um railroad rightway that was 1138 01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:35,679 all constructed as part of the third street project in size to accommodate 1139 01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:40,159 the drainage. Um then a small amount um of the water then uh is directed through 1140 01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:45,040 the pipe that runs down Fifth Street and and out to the railroad right away as 1141 01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:50,960 well. Um one of the things that we were able to incorporate in the project um is 1142 01:31:48,239 --> 01:31:58,159 actually been a drainage um problem area for many years 1143 01:31:54,800 --> 01:32:03,040 on Forest Street at the alley. So, um, past the funeral home there and there's 1144 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:06,800 been multiple um, band-aid approaches, I guess you 1145 01:32:05,199 --> 01:32:11,679 could call them ways to try to get the water out of those low areas. And one of 1146 01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:18,080 those was actually, um, send some of the drainage down Fourth Street uh, alley 1147 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:21,360 there uh, to the west. Um all that drainage that hits the four street right 1148 01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:25,520 away as part of this project is going to be captured in the storm system and 1149 01:32:23,199 --> 01:32:33,679 directed through city pipes and out to a proper outlet which will um limit uh or 1150 01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:41,040 it'll help the the drainage issues uh that the properties that have that low 1151 01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:45,120 area along the alley which 3355 road I think was the the new build 1152 01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:50,719 that's going there. They had a site plan into in addition to the house had a 1153 01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:54,239 garage and kind of worked out pretty nicely that they they have their own 1154 01:32:52,639 --> 01:32:59,360 drainage thing that they need to handle. But out of that came the fact that there 1155 01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:02,880 was this this much rightway drainage going probably not to the best spot. So 1156 01:33:01,199 --> 01:33:08,719 we're be able to capture that and redirect that drainage to take care of 1157 01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:14,480 the city's piece of that issue. Um couple of items that we're looking 1158 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:19,679 for some feedback uh from council on. Um one is the the 1159 01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:26,000 pedestrian uh configuration we're proposing. So, 1160 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:32,400 um I don't have the council packet number on these sheets, but if you look 1161 01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:42,000 at sheet what sheet um nine of the OM plans, uh that that shows 1162 01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:46,960 the um fifth and broad intersection. Uh the proposal now is to include the 1163 01:33:44,719 --> 01:33:52,719 decorative crosswalks on both legs of Fifth Street. Uh so crossing Fifth um 1164 01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:59,679 north and south of Broad and then on the west leg of Broad Street. Um and at this 1165 01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:06,239 time we are not proposing a decorative or any crosswalk on the east leg of 1166 01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:11,280 Fifth. Uh the reason for that is several um difficult location due to the 1167 01:34:09,440 --> 01:34:17,679 location of the existing utility poles, guywires, trees, other other utilities 1168 01:34:13,679 --> 01:34:22,560 that are in the area. Um but there's another reason is there's no sidewalk 1169 01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:28,239 running along this street um to the north. So if they you could cross there, 1170 01:34:25,679 --> 01:34:32,239 you would still have to cross anyway. So you'd be crossing two legs in either 1171 01:34:29,679 --> 01:34:38,560 event. Um this intersection has been identified as 1172 01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:48,400 sort of the edge of the downtown corridor. Um and it made sense uh 1173 01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:53,920 we thought not um that to help that visually to show that transition as 1174 01:34:51,199 --> 01:34:58,719 you're moving away from downtown. Um the other big reason is for initial 1175 01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:03,199 construction it's not as big of a deal but it it limits and increases the cost 1176 01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:08,400 of future maintenance when you have crosswalks on all four legs can be dealt 1177 01:35:06,159 --> 01:35:13,120 with and did it recently on main obviously but it's more difficult and so 1178 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:19,600 if the crosswalk doesn't provide a lot of value initial capital cost and the 1179 01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:22,840 increased future maintenance costs um are consideration 1180 01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:30,440 Moving to the next sheet uh shows the blow up of um 1181 01:35:27,440 --> 01:35:30,440 um 1182 01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:37,360 the same page here. >> This is page 108. 1183 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:42,239 » Yeah. So going down to four street a couple sheets over which is sheet 12 of 1184 01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:47,520 the drawings. Um that's a T intersection. So that there 1185 01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:52,000 is the alley that runs up the hill. Um but it's not a a street crossing. So 1186 01:35:49,199 --> 01:35:56,400 that would just get regular sidewalk and uh like a drive approach. So the 1187 01:35:54,639 --> 01:36:02,080 decorative crosswalks are proposed on the west leg of broad and the south leg 1188 01:35:59,199 --> 01:36:07,600 of four street. Um and again for similar reasons um looking at the pedest the 1189 01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:13,440 likely pedestrian routes in the area, we didn't think that 1190 01:36:10,159 --> 01:36:21,040 a crosswalk on the east leg really provided much value. uh because 1191 01:36:17,679 --> 01:36:24,480 uh we did we did um with the crosswalk at the curve here as part of third 1192 01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:30,880 street job. So you're only 300 or so feet away. Um and just looking at trip 1193 01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:36,880 origins and destinations um that leg didn't make sense to us either. Um but 1194 01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:41,440 we wanted feedback on that if if there's a consensus that all legs is more 1195 01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:45,920 appropriate solution and we're happy to do it. It can can be done. Um, 1196 01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:48,880 » Marcus, I think it's very consistent with what we have elsewhere. 1197 01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:55,880 » We agree. >> So, I I think it it looks 1198 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:55,880 it looks good to me. 1199 01:36:56,320 --> 01:37:04,960 » And I like that they're perpendicular. >> The one other I guess really 1200 01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:09,280 I forgot to mention I have Chris Pow here with our transportation group. He's 1201 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:13,119 uh helping to manage the project. Um, he's here. We're getting we have some 1202 01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:18,639 more technical geometric questions about radi or like that. I'd probably ask him 1203 01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:25,280 to jump in. Um, one other thing that we've been hearing from the beginning is 1204 01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:30,639 a concern. Anytime you um 1205 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:35,520 build a road, new fresh pavement, there's at least a 1206 01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:40,719 impression that that speeds are going to increase or do increase. Um, how do you 1207 01:37:37,679 --> 01:37:45,520 mitigate that? uh you're limited um a little bit on federal aid eligible roads 1208 01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:51,199 by the funding mechanism truck route. Um so that is a limiting 1209 01:37:48,719 --> 01:37:58,159 factor as well. Um but there are things that can be done and one of them that is 1210 01:37:53,520 --> 01:38:02,239 commonly used and pretty effective is um uh necking down at the intersection. So 1211 01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:08,159 that accomplishes a couple of things. It it it narrows 1212 01:38:04,239 --> 01:38:11,280 visual corridor for the driver. Uh, so especially the the cross-section we're 1213 01:38:09,679 --> 01:38:15,199 proposing with parking and bike lanes and travel lanes, that's a pretty wide 1214 01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:20,639 swath, especially if it happens to be a time of day that nobody's parked. Um, so 1215 01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:26,080 neck and bound when the intersections are this close together, that really 1216 01:38:22,239 --> 01:38:31,520 helps with uh attenuating speeds, um, traffic hauling. Um the other the other 1217 01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:39,119 uh benefit of that is that it reduces the distance the pedestrian has to 1218 01:38:35,440 --> 01:38:44,639 travel um you know the open road. So even if it's um parking like I say there 1219 01:38:42,239 --> 01:38:48,080 doesn't happen to be are parked that day that's still exposure to the 1220 01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:53,679 pedestrians. So having those bumpouts at the intersection um is a good thing for 1221 01:38:51,119 --> 01:39:01,040 those reasons. Uh so the plan we have now at Fifth Street includes um blowouts 1222 01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:05,440 on both corners uh of Broad Street or both both legs of Broad Street. Um which 1223 01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:08,880 essentially what that'll do is if you go out there now and you look where there's 1224 01:39:06,639 --> 01:39:12,800 all the cross-hatching where there is no parking, it's just handled with paint. 1225 01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:19,040 That will become basically curve would kind of mimic that outline and then 1226 01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:22,639 spaces would start up after that. I don't have an exact figure for you 1227 01:39:20,239 --> 01:39:27,360 today. We're still um working out the details, but the parking would remain 1228 01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:33,360 largely unchanged. May lose a space or two out of the 55, I believe, that are 1229 01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:36,639 angle parking that are on that block. Um we'll get you that exact figure, but 1230 01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:43,520 it's not going to be a significant change when it's there today. 1231 01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:51,360 We did look at providing a um before and after calculation on parking 1232 01:39:47,119 --> 01:39:55,119 between fifth and third. It's kind of a free-for-all right now with the open 1233 01:39:52,880 --> 01:40:01,199 gravel. So, there's really not dedicated spaces. Um, so we will have the we will 1234 01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:05,679 show um with with the curve and the stripe spaces exactly how many and where 1235 01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:10,239 those exist. But we we do have to consider the criteria that were 1236 01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:15,199 mentioned earlier about offset from driveways, uh, crosswalks, etc. 1237 01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:19,840 » Marcus, let me interrupt real quick. Justin, do we still have any money left 1238 01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:24,960 over that we can use towards parking? Yes. I I I don't believe we ever touched 1239 01:40:23,199 --> 01:40:28,480 100,000 or so. >> Is that how much we have? 1240 01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:32,880 » I mean, can that be used to build this parallel parking? I think we did some of 1241 01:40:30,239 --> 01:40:39,000 that on Central at one point. >> I don't see why not. 1242 01:40:35,119 --> 01:40:39,000 » Something to think about. Okay. 1243 01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:47,440 um at Fifth Street uh where the crosswalk cross broad is it'll 1244 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:51,520 be great to have that be shorter with the bumpouts 1245 01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:54,000 in addition to your traffic coming. Do you think you'll be with your milling do 1246 01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:59,760 you'll be able to take some of the crown out make that flat enough to 1247 01:40:56,639 --> 01:41:02,560 » Yeah, we looked at there's a pretty >> it goes up to eight big 8% in some spots 1248 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:05,760 on the >> I mean bringing the bump outs will help 1249 01:41:04,159 --> 01:41:10,080 because you're cutting into that a little bit. Um but we have looked at 1250 01:41:07,679 --> 01:41:12,960 that and and looked at the boring and I can tell you I don't pay exactly how 1251 01:41:11,440 --> 01:41:16,159 much but it was definitely flagged by our design team early on that wanted to 1252 01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:18,960 try to soften that >> something there okay 1253 01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:21,040 » the extent possible without even >> giving up too much cross-section for 1254 01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:28,000 structure >> yeah even if the reconstruct has to 1255 01:41:24,239 --> 01:41:32,880 shift a little into the that block >> right 1256 01:41:28,719 --> 01:41:32,880 » yeah with the bump out it 1257 01:41:37,440 --> 01:41:41,560 Even if you go back 1258 01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:48,159 » Yeah, that that that section has potentially a softer crown for the 1259 01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:49,760 travel lanes and then it gets steeper into the parking 1260 01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:55,440 » right >> pull that. Yeah, I don't remember 1261 01:41:52,239 --> 01:41:59,480 thickness center my head, but it would take a million. 1262 01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:21,040 » Do we have this program for the DDA to contribute anything? Not currently 1263 01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:24,880 » for the Okay, we might want to get that on the radar. 1264 01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:31,440 » Um the one thing that we we have talked about is um uh doing the design for the 1265 01:42:28,480 --> 01:42:39,280 Broad Street parking lot behind um Joan Rosies and Hotelman and Ways and Things 1266 01:42:35,119 --> 01:42:47,840 um and doing that parking lot at the same time as as this work is going on. 1267 01:42:43,119 --> 01:42:50,840 » Okay. Um, what about lighting? 1268 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:56,400 Central. Central has >> has decorative. 1269 01:42:54,480 --> 01:42:59,840 » We added lighting on central when we did central. 1270 01:42:57,040 --> 01:43:03,119 » Mhm. >> Is there any discussion? Any discussion 1271 01:43:01,440 --> 01:43:08,639 at all? >> The decorative lighting ends shy of 1272 01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:10,159 fifth street a little bit with the glass. 1273 01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:13,040 » That's where the D Yeah, which is the DDA boundary. Fifth Street is a DDA 1274 01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:16,960 boundary. I think >> well that hasn't been talked about as 1275 01:43:14,639 --> 01:43:20,000 part of the project extending that. Um >> I'm not saying we have to do it. I 1276 01:43:18,239 --> 01:43:24,800 didn't I just I just was asking that question. Does are there are there 1277 01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:31,040 utility beyond storm sewer? Are there other utility plans upgrades? 1278 01:43:27,679 --> 01:43:33,440 » Not not beyond structure adjustments um for 1279 01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:35,600 » Okay. So the water the water man that's there is where it's going to stay. 1280 01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:40,800 » Water man's in good shape and it's going to stay 1281 01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:45,360 » in the sanitary. What about the church there on the corner of Fifth and they 1282 01:43:43,440 --> 01:43:47,440 had that sanitary lead issue at one point in time. 1283 01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:50,440 » That's been talked about. >> Yeah. 1284 01:43:50,480 --> 01:43:55,199 » Okay. >> Yeah. I think I think Izzy if she hasn't 1285 01:43:53,440 --> 01:43:58,080 reached out to them. She she was planning to to see if they wanted to run 1286 01:43:56,800 --> 01:44:00,480 their lead out out front. >> Out the front. 1287 01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:03,920 » Yeah, that would be the time certainly. And Eric made aware of that. 1288 01:44:02,639 --> 01:44:07,920 » All right. Well, just wait. You mentioned just Dan and I were both 1289 01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:11,760 involved in that a few years ago and we said we'd at least come to them with 1290 01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:14,560 » now's the time if you're going to do it type thing. 1291 01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:20,000 » Absolutely. >> Okay. Help them best you can. Pablo 1292 01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:25,040 hand. >> Yes. Thank you. Um I have a question for 1293 01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:29,920 you in regards to um the trail, the bicycling trail. 1294 01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:34,800 anticipation that a lot more use is going to come out of it with um the 1295 01:44:32,159 --> 01:44:42,560 connection that will be made over uh the creek. Uh do you think uh since it will 1296 01:44:39,679 --> 01:44:47,600 be a major route just having a lane as it is currently or as you're proposing 1297 01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:52,800 currently just demarcation is sufficient or do you think we need to plan for 1298 01:44:49,440 --> 01:45:00,639 something uh or just consider something a little bit more robust um as they have 1299 01:44:55,600 --> 01:45:05,040 for example on Miller uh in Ann Arbor? >> You're asking about like the separated 1300 01:45:02,639 --> 01:45:08,880 bike curves. >> Yes. Yes. 1301 01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:16,400 » Um, we haven't looked at that. I mean, I guess what I would say to that is u the 1302 01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:21,440 non-motorized plan and the the cross-section for streets bike lanes 1303 01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:25,760 that the city has utilized elsewhere. This is what we're following. So, we 1304 01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:33,040 haven't looked at new new or different solutions here. Um, 1305 01:45:29,119 --> 01:45:38,320 we could, um, but I I think unless there's a 1306 01:45:35,440 --> 01:45:43,520 um, I call policy shift necessarily, but a new a new standard is is agreed on, it 1307 01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:47,360 it wouldn't you wouldn't gain a lot by putting that in a twob block section if 1308 01:45:45,679 --> 01:45:53,040 you're not going to eventually have a plan to do it elsewhere. and the fact 1309 01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:58,400 that Third Street had had this, you know, the typical bike lane um 1310 01:45:56,800 --> 01:46:01,760 configuration along the central and other places in town. 1311 01:45:59,920 --> 01:46:05,679 » Yeah. I think the the other the other ch the like other at least one challenge 1312 01:46:04,159 --> 01:46:12,239 that I can think of associated with that is do in the areas where you do that 1313 01:46:09,199 --> 01:46:16,239 where you install kind of what I'll call protected bike lane do you then lose the 1314 01:46:14,719 --> 01:46:21,119 potential to also have the on street parking associated 1315 01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:26,679 » if a flip >> yeah can you can do it it's a pretty 1316 01:46:23,679 --> 01:46:26,679 significant 1317 01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:34,320 design change that hasn't it had simply hasn't we haven't looked it can but but 1318 01:46:32,719 --> 01:46:40,320 again I think it would only make sense to look at it seriously if the city is 1319 01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:45,199 interested in changing what they would want their standard application to be 1320 01:46:43,119 --> 01:46:54,159 because to do it for one or two blocks each and not have a plan to do it 1321 01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:57,560 um continue it wouldn't I don't think it very much 1322 01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:05,840 Right. >> I thought I heard you said you're going 1323 01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:09,119 to maintain the um drive-in parking 1324 01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:12,080 the current pull in. >> Yes. 1325 01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:14,480 » And how many space you think you lose? One 1326 01:47:12,719 --> 01:47:19,600 » one or two I think for that. Well, there's 55 I want to say 54 55 between 1327 01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:25,920 Fifth and Main Street. >> Yeah. I hate to see another big old 1328 01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:30,560 uh patch. I don't know. The plan allows the crosswalk to be 1329 01:47:28,639 --> 01:47:34,320 20 feet based on I mean in front of Danny's house. I can understand that big 1330 01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:38,560 point out there >> and I think that would be handled at at 1331 01:47:36,159 --> 01:47:42,000 fifth with if it's it sounds like people are feeling good about the bumpout 1332 01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:46,560 option you would have that in lie of striping. 1333 01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:53,440 » It wouldn't be much already out there. The north side is 1334 01:47:51,119 --> 01:47:59,600 might be spanned by a couple feet. the south side more than 1335 01:47:57,840 --> 01:48:04,360 so at the moment you lost one on the north 1336 01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:04,360 side 1337 01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:13,679 » with the phone kind of matching that >> and of course that's 1338 01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:17,520 where they're from downtown. >> Yeah, they won't hear nothing else. 1339 01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:21,520 It'll be parking. They don't care about your sewer. They don't care about your 1340 01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:24,840 power. you know, hear about your depth of gravel. 1341 01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:32,719 Um, but I think that those are the major points and don't need all the answers 1342 01:48:30,239 --> 01:48:37,199 tonight. I guess if there's thoughts, feelings that you want to convey back to 1343 01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:45,760 Justin. Um we do have a schedule to keep as far as we are waiting still 1344 01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:50,960 um on getting uh feedback uh approval from NEPA shipo clearance has been 1345 01:48:48,719 --> 01:48:55,760 submitted months ago um don't have that yet so there's a little bit of time so I 1346 01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:59,360 don't um don't want to have anybody feel rushed but if you sleep on it and have 1347 01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:05,360 feedback that that we need to be aware of please communicate that we'll get it 1348 01:49:03,679 --> 01:49:09,560 but right now what I'm hearing They tore it down the oldest house on the block. 1349 01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:14,880 » Sounds like the bump out traffic calming thing. People have a good feeling about 1350 01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:18,159 that and and the decker crosswalk configuration that's shown in the 1351 01:49:16,159 --> 01:49:19,840 drawings. Um 1352 01:49:18,639 --> 01:49:24,800 » and it looks like you're lowering the profile on the other blocks which is 1353 01:49:22,719 --> 01:49:30,000 good because the sidewalk underwater a lot of times. So that's good. 1354 01:49:27,440 --> 01:49:35,280 » It's good. >> It's exciting project. It's 1355 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:40,560 the been dragging down the city's average major road ratings for a long 1356 01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:46,560 time. So tackling this one is going to um really improve the overall metrics 1357 01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:50,960 for the city system. >> Very good. Appreciate you being here 1358 01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:53,960 tonight. Any questions for Marcus or the team? 1359 01:49:54,480 --> 01:49:58,560 » Okay. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. 1360 01:49:56,480 --> 01:50:02,639 » Keep up the good work. And last but not least is item M2, 1361 01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:08,480 consideration of moving the September 14th, 2026 city council meeting to 1362 01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:12,800 Monument Park. Joe, >> we 1363 01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:17,119 move the September 14th, 2026 city council meeting to Monument Park with an 1364 01:50:14,480 --> 01:50:21,280 alternate location of city hall in the event of inclement weather. 1365 01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:25,560 » Motion by Santa Farah. >> Second. 1366 01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:25,560 » Second by tell 1367 01:50:26,159 --> 01:50:34,239 Pavlo. Any discussion needed? >> I mean, I held this meeting outside. I 1368 01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:40,280 uh hid in my HV there for five minutes because it started raining, 1369 01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:40,280 » but back outside. 1370 01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:47,600 » Excellent. I I thought you'd be doing the reading from the swamp. 1371 01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:51,520 » Uh well, you know, it's 110 degrees outside and super humid, so it's about 1372 01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:54,080 as swampy as it gets. >> Yeah. Okay. 1373 01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:58,000 » Oh, where's that at? Because it ain't here. So, you're confident we could make 1374 01:50:56,239 --> 01:51:02,480 an attempt at this and give it a try. >> Yeah. So, uh it's actually interesting. 1375 01:50:59,679 --> 01:51:07,119 We the um original setup that we used over at St. Andrews for when you know 1376 01:51:05,119 --> 01:51:11,520 just just postcoid and we could start holding meetings but virtually. 1377 01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:13,679 » Um we're basically going to >> bring that over 1378 01:51:12,159 --> 01:51:18,080 » bring that over and >> and uh reuse it. 1379 01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:22,960 » Will is it Zoom accessible? >> Uh so so for the outdoor meetings we we 1380 01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:25,760 would not do Zoom. >> Yep. Okay. 1381 01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:30,320 Okay, please call a vote. >> Wait. 1382 01:51:29,199 --> 01:51:37,920 » Oh, did Jeff, did you I'm sorry, I missed a hand. Please. 1383 01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:45,760 » Um I going back to the the um the um in my opinion the work that this 1384 01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:51,440 put on staff. Um I I think yeah, we can give it a try this time. I'm you know it 1385 01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:57,199 it I'm not super comfortable with all the work but I I think we can give it a 1386 01:51:54,000 --> 01:52:03,280 try. I think for following years, if we want to do this in the summer, um we 1387 01:51:59,920 --> 01:52:10,719 should plan to take advantage of when we have the the tent up between 1388 01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:16,239 um the um summer festival and the and the um Paint Dexter festival because it 1389 01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:24,080 gives us a lot of the infrastructure that we need for this. And um also if 1390 01:52:21,440 --> 01:52:29,280 the weather is, you know, pouring, we still can potentially keep going. Um so 1391 01:52:27,119 --> 01:52:34,800 I think we we should u we should do that. Um I'm again 1392 01:52:32,639 --> 01:52:39,440 not in favor of putting this much work on staff, but I think we can give it a 1393 01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:45,280 try. And I would really appreciate that after this we hear good feedback from 1394 01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:51,639 staff on the level of work that this was done um for us to make good decision for 1395 01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:51,639 next year. 1396 01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:59,520 Any other comments? Okay, please call the vote. 1397 01:52:57,760 --> 01:53:01,360 » Papa, >> yes. 1398 01:53:00,719 --> 01:53:03,199 » Faroh, >> yes. 1399 01:53:02,639 --> 01:53:05,760 » Yes. >> Alder, 1400 01:53:04,239 --> 01:53:11,199 » yes. >> Yes. Motion carries. 1401 01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:14,080 We are back around and non-arranged participation. 1402 01:53:12,719 --> 01:53:18,360 » Is there anyone in the audience or online that would like to speak this 1403 01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:18,360 evening? 1404 01:53:19,119 --> 01:53:26,159 Seeing none, we'll do council comments starting for with Mr. Tell this evening. 1405 01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:30,560 No, thank you. Mr. Popoff. >> No, thank you. 1406 01:53:28,239 --> 01:53:34,159 » Student reps. All 1407 01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:39,440 » good. Joe, sorry to break the streak. It's okay. The um 1408 01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:46,400 We get a little bit of feedback from Sio Township. So I 1409 01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:50,960 don't know how I would request I I guess what I'm requesting is that by the next 1410 01:53:48,239 --> 01:53:55,760 meeting we have something in writing that we can 1411 01:53:53,360 --> 01:54:04,239 communicate with Scio Township with respect to a 425 letter and also 1412 01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:10,520 know definitively what we need to do to initiate the filing at state boundary 1413 01:54:06,480 --> 01:54:10,520 commission because 1414 01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:17,920 I mean, I appreciate that they're meeting with us, but we haven't made any 1415 01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:26,000 progress in a few months. And um I think we're trying pretty hard and uh have 1416 01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:32,320 made suggestions and proposals and um we're not getting a lot of feedback. 1417 01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:37,920 Um I'm just on that I'm expecting to hear from Mariah Wednesday. Understand? 1418 01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:42,760 and maybe that'll inform that for the next meeting. 1419 01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:42,760 Um 1420 01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:52,400 there was a decision tonight by the Supreme Court that um mail-in voting 1421 01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:59,679 could potentially be dictated by the executive order that 1422 01:54:56,320 --> 01:55:06,639 was issued previously. it potentially could impact whether or 1423 01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:11,920 not we can do mail-in ballots. So my question for feedback again for 1424 01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:16,560 the next meeting would be what are we going to do if that's the case? I mean 1425 01:55:14,400 --> 01:55:21,119 because if we aren't mailing out ballots then I assume people would have to come 1426 01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:26,760 in and vote. We would have to go through the absentee process as it normally is. 1427 01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:31,679 Part of it is whether or not voter lists are going to go to the post office so 1428 01:55:30,239 --> 01:55:36,639 that they'll have an approved list of people that can receive ballots. So, I 1429 01:55:34,719 --> 01:55:40,560 don't know where it's all going to shake out. I'm assuming that the clerks of 1430 01:55:39,199 --> 01:55:45,840 Michigan are going to have a lot of dialogue in the next couple of days 1431 01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:51,400 about this and uh obviously we're coming up on the elections pretty quickly. 1432 01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:51,400 Um, 1433 01:55:51,440 --> 01:56:01,119 and uh, the last thing is I want to uh, thank Pablo for Mr. Papa for bringing up 1434 01:55:57,599 --> 01:56:04,400 the uh, the meeting in the park. Um, I I do agree it's potentially going to be 1435 01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:08,400 some additional work, but I think it's a great idea and uh, looking forward to it 1436 01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:15,280 and I'm hoping that it's something we can manage and continue in the future as 1437 01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:17,360 well. Looking forward to it. No. 1438 01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:18,480 » Last but not least. >> Thank you. 1439 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:22,239 » You're all set. >> You all said it all. 1440 01:56:19,440 --> 01:56:26,000 » Okay. Okay. Who wants to make the motion for adjournment? 1441 01:56:24,159 --> 01:56:28,880 » Move by tell. >> I second. 1442 01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:30,960 » Second by Aldag. All in favor signify by saying I. Please. I 1443 01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:33,040 » I >> I. 1444 01:56:31,679 --> 01:56:36,639 » Good evening and a good Labor Day weekend. And uh 1445 01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:39,520 » see you back here in three weeks. >> Yeah. 1446 01:56:37,199 --> 01:56:42,560 » Actually, not here. Don't come here. >> Go to the park. 1447 01:56:40,400 --> 01:56:47,440 » Go to Don't go to the park. >> Have a good one, Pablo. does anything 1448 01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:51,080 crazy like jump out any planes. >> Jumping on the 12th.
