And for the record, Councillor Marker is homesick.

10
00:00:37,033 --> 00:00:39,700
I'd rather him be home and than get anybody else sick.

11
00:00:40,333 --> 00:00:41,767
If we could stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

12

One Nation under God, individual

- No requests were received.

20
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:06,834
- Okay, let's see.

21
00:01:06,834 --> 00:01:10,767
First we have mental health.

22
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:13,500
We, so whereas mental health is everyone's overall health

23
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:15,867

to having a healthy community.

27
00:01:22,367 --> 00:01:25,100
And whereas all the, all people experience times

28
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,834
of difficulty and stress in their lives with the prevalence

29
00:01:27,834 --> 00:01:29,867
of mental health conditions in our, in our nation,

30
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:32,533
it's important for all members of the community to know

31
00:01:32,533 --> 00:01:34,500
that specific tools exist, which can be used

32
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:35,533
to better handle challenges

00:01:35,533 --> 00:01:37,300
and protect one's health, be health and wellbeing.

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,033
And whereas prevention is an effective way

35
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:42,500
to reduce the burden of mental health conditions.

36
00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:43,734
And with early

37
00:01:43,834 --> 00:01:46,100
and effective treatment, individuals

38
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:48,333
with mental health conditions can manage their mental health

39
00:01:48,367 --> 00:01:49,767
and lead full and productive lives.

40
00:01:49,834 --> 00:01:52,767
And whereas it is appropriate to recognize the importance

41
00:01:52,867 --> 00:01:56,266
of having Im, IM improving the mental health of all

42
00:01:56,266 --> 00:01:58,934
of our residents, let it be proclaimed that the city

43
00:01:58,934 --> 00:02:02,367
of Fairview recognizes the month of May, 2026

44
00:02:02,567 --> 00:02:03,867
as mental awareness health,

45
00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:06,867
mental health Awareness Month in the city of Fairview,

46
00:02:06,867 --> 00:02:09,000
when we encourage citizens, businesses, organizations,

47
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,767
and agencies to work collaboratively to reduce the stigma

48
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:14,367
of mental illness and to increase the

49
00:02:14,367 --> 00:02:15,634
mental health of our community.

50
00:02:17,033 --> 00:02:19,133
And let's see, we have,

51
00:02:21,166 --> 00:02:25,333
and whereas Americans have served every single day

52
00:02:25,333 --> 00:02:28,367
by public servants at the federal, state, county,

53
00:02:28,467 --> 00:02:32,000
tribal city, and in many other areas of public service,

54
00:02:32,066 --> 00:02:34,500
these unsung heroes do extraordinary work

55
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:36,066
that makes our make our lives better

56
00:02:36,133 --> 00:02:37,100
and our nation stronger.

57
00:02:38,066 --> 00:02:40,533
And whereas public employees take not only jobs,

58
00:02:40,834 --> 00:02:42,867
but oaths to make cri crucial

59
00:02:43,567 --> 00:02:45,000
contributions in our communities in America,

60
00:02:45,266 --> 00:02:49,500
their tireless efforts are critical to the wellbeing of all

61
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:51,266
who are served, sometimes even risking

62
00:02:51,266 --> 00:02:52,367
their lives for public service.

63
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:54,700
And whereas day in

64
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:57,033
and day out, public servants provide diverse

65
00:02:57,734 --> 00:02:59,266
services demanded by the American people

66
00:02:59,266 --> 00:03:01,367
and their government with deficiency and integrity.

67
00:03:02,467 --> 00:03:04,500
And whereas without these public servants at,

68
00:03:04,834 --> 00:03:07,033
at every level, con continuity would be

69
00:03:07,033 --> 00:03:09,100
impossible in democracy.

70
00:03:09,166 --> 00:03:11,033
That regularly changes its leaders

71
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:12,300
and effective elected officials.

72
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,033
Now therefore, be it proclaimed that the city

73
00:03:15,066 --> 00:03:18,100
of Fair recognizes that the week of Sunday, May 3rd

74
00:03:18,266 --> 00:03:23,033
through Saturday May 9th is public Service Recognition week.

75
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:26,033
And all citizens are encouraged to

76
00:03:26,734 --> 00:03:27,934
recognize the accomplishments

77
00:03:28,066 --> 00:03:30,233
and contributions of our public employees at all level.

78
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,066
So in regards to public works, I believe this ties in.

79
00:03:35,567 --> 00:03:38,533
I want to, I wanna say that outwardly, that is the group

80
00:03:38,567 --> 00:03:41,533
that outside of the walls of this building,

81
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:43,734
they're the ones that are out there every week.

82
00:03:43,834 --> 00:03:46,266
And I want to appreciate them in storm.

83
00:03:46,567 --> 00:03:47,700
They, they, they're the ones

84
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,066
that go out in the worst weather when

85
00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:50,033
we're hunkered down in our homes.

86
00:03:51,867 --> 00:03:56,266
So I I do recognize that, and we have one more here.

87
00:03:56,266 --> 00:03:58,567
Whereas in 1872, the Nebraska Board

88
00:03:58,567 --> 00:04:01,700
of Agriculture established data to be set aside for planting

89
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:05,500
of trees, which is celebrated all around the nation as AR

90
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,066
and, and the world is Arbor Day.

91
00:04:07,433 --> 00:04:09,100
And whereas trees can help produce the impacts

92
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:11,100
of climate change by moderating the temperature,

93
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:13,700
lowering heating and cooling costs, cleaning the air,

94
00:04:13,834 --> 00:04:17,500
producing oxygen, reducing erosion of topsoil by wind

95
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:19,634
and water, and providing habitat for wildlife.

96
00:04:20,066 --> 00:04:23,934
Whereas trees in our city, increased property values

97
00:04:24,367 --> 00:04:25,700
enhanced our economic vitality

98
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:28,033
of business areas in Beautif fire community.

99
00:04:28,033 --> 00:04:30,000
Whereas Oregon has proclaimed the entire month

100
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,100
of April was ARB month.

101
00:04:31,934 --> 00:04:35,100
And whereas in 2026, the city of Fairview was designated

102
00:04:35,133 --> 00:04:37,300
by the Arbor Day Foundation in the Oregon Department

103
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:40,066

to managing public trees through tree care standards,

106
00:04:45,734 --> 00:04:47,033
best practices and investments.

107
00:04:47,367 --> 00:04:50,367
Now therefore be proclaimed, the city of Fairview recognizes

108
00:04:50,467 --> 00:04:54,066
and honors a April, 2026 Harbor month in the city

111
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:02,133
of future generations.

Proclaimed on this to April 15th, 2026. Thank you.

00:05:47,934 --> 00:05:50,500

130
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:53,100
representing populations from many countries and islands.

Whereas we recognize the Inable contributions,

00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,700

00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,133
Thank you for bringing that up.

147
00:06:34,066 --> 00:06:35,133
The pages start together there.

148
00:06:36,367 --> 00:06:39,767
Next is budget committee member appointment process.

149
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:44,700
I don't have a name who, who is leading that.

150
00:06:47,033 --> 00:06:49,066
- Did you want to leave it, mayor? Yes, please. I can.

151
00:06:49,133 --> 00:06:54,066
Thank you. The budget process, I want

152
00:06:54,066 --> 00:06:56,367
to just quick a little update on what occurred

153
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:58,266
and kind of give some,

154
00:06:58,266 --> 00:07:00,100
some guidance we got from our legal attorney.

155
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:04,300
So there was a, a member that was appointed back in January

156
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,834
and he had written in

157
00:07:07,834 --> 00:07:09,634
and indicated that he would resign if the

158
00:07:09,634 --> 00:07:10,867
city got more applications.

159
00:07:11,934 --> 00:07:13,100
So he, he sent it in twice.

160
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:16,100
So the last what, so what occurred,

161
00:07:16,166 --> 00:07:17,867
and correct me if I'm wrong dere on this,

162
00:07:17,867 --> 00:07:19,700
but what happened, the last counseling when,

163
00:07:19,834 --> 00:07:22,467
when the second gentle was appointed was that the counsel

164
00:07:23,233 --> 00:07:25,834
had a proclamation in the proclamation

165
00:07:25,834 --> 00:07:28,000
and was awarded that it would be contingent upon

166
00:07:28,834 --> 00:07:30,700
the first one re resigning.

167
00:07:31,934 --> 00:07:33,634
So our legal looked at it

168
00:07:33,634 --> 00:07:35,367
and said that actually the proclamation

169
00:07:35,834 --> 00:07:37,133
process was a little off.

170
00:07:37,634 --> 00:07:40,500
So I think it's, it is just, it is just more of an update

171
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,700
for everyone we, we can strengthen up.

172
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:44,934
But I also wanna let you know, I did send an email to

173
00:07:44,934 --> 00:07:47,000
that gentleman, said, you know, the situation

174
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,266
as you had resigned, you said you had resigned twice.

175
00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:51,033
So I took that to be you

176
00:07:51,266 --> 00:07:52,467
resigned, we appointed someone else.

177
00:07:53,567 --> 00:07:57,100
So he came back through Councilor Rowan and said, I think,

178
00:07:57,333 --> 00:07:59,100
because I don't think I, I don't,

179
00:07:59,634 --> 00:08:00,934
I didn't receive any direct emails,

180
00:08:01,066 --> 00:08:03,634
but I think it was through Councilor Rowan, they came back

181
00:08:04,033 --> 00:08:05,867
'cause I thank you councilor for bringing it up to me.

182
00:08:05,867 --> 00:08:08,233
But he came back, said, now I think there's something wrong.

183
00:08:08,233 --> 00:08:09,934
And so I did reveal with our legal,

184
00:08:10,233 --> 00:08:11,867
and legal said technically

185
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:13,700
because he had not officially resigned,

186
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:15,233
even though he indicated twice he would, he,

187
00:08:15,567 --> 00:08:17,000
he hadn't fully resigned.

188
00:08:17,133 --> 00:08:18,300
So I wrote back

189
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:19,567
and said, okay, you're actually on,

190
00:08:19,867 --> 00:08:21,033
you are on the committee That's correct.

191
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:23,467
By our legal. So I wanted to make sure, you know,

192
00:08:23,467 --> 00:08:24,867
legal we're sound, which we are.

193
00:08:25,634 --> 00:08:28,934
So I think the idea of having this on the agenda,

194
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,734
and our mayor had asked to have this on the agenda,

195
00:08:30,734 --> 00:08:33,100
and the talk about is, is simply, and, and,

196
00:08:33,133 --> 00:08:34,634
and by the way, not just, I mean,

197
00:08:34,634 --> 00:08:36,000
I think it's a good idea of the agenda too.

198
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,100
Don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to call anybody out.

199
00:08:38,133 --> 00:08:41,734
But the idea is that first of all,

200
00:08:41,734 --> 00:08:42,834
I wanted to be aware of would've happened.

201
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:45,767
There are options. Counsel could, you know,

202
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,867
counsel could choose to thank the person for his service

203
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,467
and remove him and then appoint someone else.

204
00:08:51,467 --> 00:08:52,300
The other person's appointed

205
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:53,834
counsel can leave it the way it is.

206
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:57,300
And then for the future, we just need to make certain,

207
00:08:57,333 --> 00:08:59,934
and we'll make certain internally, that if someone offers

208
00:08:59,934 --> 00:09:02,000
to resign such a, it's an unusual situation.

209
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,834
I've never had this happen. If someone to offer to resign,

210
00:09:04,133 --> 00:09:07,033
then we'll just make that clearer to the council that, hey,

211
00:09:07,033 --> 00:09:08,500
if someone's off resign, and at

212
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:11,000
that moment you can make a decision, we're gonna ahead

213
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
and accept that resignation.

214
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,100
Because by a state authority,

215
00:09:14,133 --> 00:09:16,066
this board can remove and appoint the members.

216
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:18,000
You don't have to have anybody's resignation.

217
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,266
You can remove any time

218
00:09:19,266 --> 00:09:20,834
and appoint anybody anytime you want.

219
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:24,533
But we, from the staff side, will make it more clear about

220
00:09:24,767 --> 00:09:27,100
what the intent was and what we're recommending.

221
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:29,100
So the council's a little more certain about it.

222
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:32,533
And then as we adopt the resolution, then we'll make certain

223
00:09:32,533 --> 00:09:34,700
that the resolution is properly adopted.

224
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:36,700
There was just some confusional language.

225
00:09:36,834 --> 00:09:39,100
I think the intent was that, you know,

226
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:41,266
we thought things would just go the way it intended,

227
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:42,634
but we thought it would be intended.

228
00:09:42,634 --> 00:09:43,634
It didn't quite go that way.

229
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:46,100
So I think that's the basic update.

230
00:09:46,467 --> 00:09:48,000
I hope that covers everything, mayor.

231
00:09:48,767 --> 00:09:50,333
- I believe it does. Thank - You.

232
00:09:51,233 --> 00:09:55,934
- Is there, so at this point we are,

233
00:09:57,634 --> 00:10:02,000
do we need to revisit that last appointment

234
00:10:03,433 --> 00:10:05,066
resolution and modify it?

235
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,700
Is that what we, we don't de

236
00:10:07,367 --> 00:10:08,900
- Go ahead. De Okay.

237
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:11,834
- I I think it depends on, I mean,

238
00:10:11,834 --> 00:10:15,567
the way the resolution stands, the one person was appointed

239
00:10:15,867 --> 00:10:19,367
to redundant the first position.

240
00:10:20,233 --> 00:10:23,233
That second person at this time is not appointed

241
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:26,066
because the resignation piece did not happen.

242
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:29,333
Got it. So if counsel wants to make any changes to that,

243
00:10:29,367 --> 00:10:30,634
then they could make a motion.

244
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,133
But it's up to you.

245
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:37,734
- Okay. Is there any discussion from council questions

246
00:10:38,033 --> 00:10:39,233
on what's happened?

247
00:10:40,867 --> 00:10:43,000
- Yeah, I, I mean, I don't have any questions.

248
00:10:43,033 --> 00:10:46,767
I did get involved

249
00:10:48,133 --> 00:10:52,300
in a conversation with the budget committee member,

250
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:57,834
Ted Toru, and, and, and looked at some emails and dates

251
00:10:58,100 --> 00:10:59,266
and reviewed the meeting

252
00:10:59,266 --> 00:11:00,634
because I wasn't here at the meeting.

253
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:05,433
And, you know, based on everything that I saw and, and the,

254
00:11:05,433 --> 00:11:07,000
and the timing of such

255
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:10,734
and communication from the city recorder back to,

256
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:15,934
to Ted, I mean, it, it, it appeared

257
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,066
where we're at today is really where we need

258
00:11:18,066 --> 00:11:20,300
to be from a matter of fairness and,

259
00:11:20,433 --> 00:11:22,467
and the timing of the way it was.

260
00:11:22,867 --> 00:11:26,000
And so I would recommend we just move on.

261
00:11:26,333 --> 00:11:30,634
And I know that his term expires at the end

262
00:11:30,867 --> 00:11:34,266
of 27, right?

263
00:11:34,433 --> 00:11:39,066
The end of 27. And we have a full budget committee now.

264
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:43,266
We do. My recommendation just be, just

265
00:11:43,266 --> 00:11:46,367
to leave alone the way it is based on the sequence of events

266
00:11:46,367 --> 00:11:47,634
that happened and the,

267
00:11:48,066 --> 00:11:52,867
and the emails that transpired. Okay.

268
00:11:53,867 --> 00:11:58,066
- Any other comments or questions? Mayor? I'm sorry.

269
00:11:58,533 --> 00:12:00,634
I just wanna let, I'm sorry. May I speak?

270
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,500
Yes, I hit the wrong button. I

271
00:12:03,066 --> 00:12:04,333
- I was looking for the light. It didn't

272
00:12:04,333 --> 00:12:05,333
- Pop up.

273
00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:06,333
I'm sorry. I hit the wrong light over here. I was gonna say,

274
00:12:06,333 --> 00:12:08,066
if the council wants, I'm happy to go through that email

275
00:12:08,066 --> 00:12:10,000
and go through the timeline and everything if you

276
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,333
want information.

277
00:12:11,567 --> 00:12:15,300
So, I mean, it's actually a public record they want to, so

278
00:12:16,667 --> 00:12:17,667
- Okay.

279
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:19,500
- If - Anybody requests that they can,

280
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:21,734
they can request that from you. That is correct.

281
00:12:22,066 --> 00:12:23,333
- I, I would like to see those emails.

282
00:12:24,867 --> 00:12:26,567
- Yeah, happy to. Do you want me to go

283
00:12:26,567 --> 00:12:27,700
through it just briefly right now?

284
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:29,100
Or you want me just to forward? No, just,

285
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:30,367
- Just, just to forward them.

286
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,767
- We're okay.

287
00:12:35,066 --> 00:12:36,567
- So it doesn't,

288
00:12:36,567 --> 00:12:38,100
it sounds like we have a full budget committee

289
00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:39,133
and we're good to go for right now.

290
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:40,266
Unless anything else?

291
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:43,166
- I, I don't know. I I mean, I don't think it's big secret.

292
00:12:43,266 --> 00:12:45,867
What I think, I'm kind of curious

293
00:12:45,867 --> 00:12:48,734
because I thought that this board had made its intentions

294
00:12:48,734 --> 00:12:51,100
clear that we were ready to move on and now we're not.

295
00:12:55,634 --> 00:12:57,500
I I am asking us, asking us.

296
00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:00,300
I, I thought that we had said, Hey look, if this,

297
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:03,100
if Ted's gonna resign, then we will put this person in.

298
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:04,500
And Ted said that he was gonna resign apparently

299
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:06,100
twice, but Ted didn't resign.

300
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:08,133
So we're just gonna say, screw it. And Ted can stay

301
00:13:08,433 --> 00:13:11,133
- Based on the language that was used that night.

302
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:14,166
In fact, I even think you had a comment

303
00:13:14,166 --> 00:13:15,467
to the, to the same effect.

304
00:13:15,533 --> 00:13:19,467
It was always based on the resignation, not based on,

305
00:13:20,634 --> 00:13:24,166
or based on an accepted resignation because it hadn't been.

306
00:13:24,667 --> 00:13:28,233
So that's where we talked to legal, we talked to,

307
00:13:30,133 --> 00:13:31,533
we, we, we took a look at the,

308
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:33,467
we took a look at the transcripts and everything else,

309
00:13:34,033 --> 00:13:38,266
and that's what it comes down to is there was a,

310
00:13:38,634 --> 00:13:40,367
our resolution was based on a

311
00:13:40,367 --> 00:13:41,667
resignation that did not happen.

312
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:43,300
- Sorry, our intent was there,

313
00:13:43,367 --> 00:13:45,000
but yeah, we mumbled the words.

314
00:13:45,634 --> 00:13:48,166
- We, yes. - So is the intent still there

315
00:13:48,166 --> 00:13:49,233
or is the intent not there?

316
00:13:50,033 --> 00:13:52,133
- That's up to you. That's up to counsel.

317
00:13:53,033 --> 00:13:55,033
If you want to address it, we can address it.

318
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,033
I believe it. Can you send those

319
00:13:58,033 --> 00:13:59,033
- To me too?

320
00:13:59,033 --> 00:14:03,266
Nathan? Why

321
00:14:03,266 --> 00:14:04,333
don't you just send it to everybody?

322
00:14:05,567 --> 00:14:07,100
I'm sorry, mayor, would you like me

323
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:08,734
to run down print copies for everybody?

324
00:14:10,066 --> 00:14:12,100
- Do we need to? - No. Okay.

325
00:14:12,467 --> 00:14:13,700
- No, I have, I'm done right now.

326
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:16,934
- Just order 'em tomorrow might be helpful. Yeah,

327
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:19,100
- I didn't see the order.

328
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:20,734
I apologize. I'm gonna go with Councilor Todd,

329
00:14:21,867 --> 00:14:25,100
- I asked, I, I guess I have a question

330
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:29,000
and then based on that, an answer to councilor down line's

331
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:32,634
question to, to council one.

332
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:36,634
So is the, it's dead. There's a bug.

333
00:14:37,433 --> 00:14:39,233
It's the bug that goes with the flowers.

334
00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:41,100
Oh, spouse of this one over.

335
00:14:44,033 --> 00:14:47,734
So the, so my understanding then is without getting too deep

336
00:14:47,734 --> 00:14:51,033
in the weeds, that the, that the resignation that was

337
00:14:51,667 --> 00:14:54,533
offered was not a full resignation

338
00:14:54,567 --> 00:14:56,567
and it's not sitting out there for us to accept.

339
00:14:57,066 --> 00:14:58,066
Is that correct?

340
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:02,767
- Yes. Ma mag bank council or Mayor, I'm sorry. Yes.

341
00:15:02,934 --> 00:15:06,934
So there were two emails written to Dere back in January

342
00:15:07,834 --> 00:15:11,266
that said if the council gets more applications,

343
00:15:11,333 --> 00:15:13,033
the first one said, the council gets more

344
00:15:13,033 --> 00:15:14,266
applications, I will resign.

345
00:15:14,867 --> 00:15:16,266
The second one said the council gets

346
00:15:16,266 --> 00:15:17,467
four or more applications.

347
00:15:17,533 --> 00:15:20,533
I resign. The council actually got seven applications.

348
00:15:21,266 --> 00:15:24,467
Four people were appointed ultimately.

349
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:25,867
And so a week

350
00:15:25,867 --> 00:15:29,233
after that appointment, then we got an email back that said,

351
00:15:30,233 --> 00:15:32,033
said, I've decided not to.

352
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:33,700
Okay. And that's where I wrote

353
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:36,000
and said, well, from my understanding, you'd resigned.

354
00:15:36,133 --> 00:15:40,233
So legally I was incorrect. So I I accept that correction

355
00:15:40,233 --> 00:15:41,233
- From our, okay.

356
00:15:41,233 --> 00:15:42,634
So that, so, so

357
00:15:42,634 --> 00:15:45,667
what we should have done is when we got seven applications,

358
00:15:46,433 --> 00:15:47,467
messaged that person

359
00:15:47,634 --> 00:15:50,900
and said, Hey, we got seven, we would like your resignation.

360
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,066
Now we didn't do that. That is correct.

361
00:15:53,133 --> 00:15:57,734
And so that's where we sit now where there was a statement

362
00:15:57,734 --> 00:16:00,266
that of intent to resign but not a resignation.

363
00:16:00,567 --> 00:16:02,767
And that's why we sit where we're at now. Am I correct?

364
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:05,133
- That's correct. And once again,

365
00:16:05,133 --> 00:16:07,734
you wouldn't have known about the, the staff.

366
00:16:07,834 --> 00:16:10,066
We, we could, I could have done a better job explaining the

367
00:16:10,066 --> 00:16:11,433
last council meeting and I didn't.

368
00:16:11,433 --> 00:16:12,500
Okay. Because it's,

369
00:16:12,567 --> 00:16:14,367
it's the most unusual situation I've ever

370
00:16:14,367 --> 00:16:15,467
seen in this case. But, okay,

371
00:16:16,033 --> 00:16:19,867
- So with that in mind,

372
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:25,133
I mean I still, I still have the feeling I did when we had

373
00:16:25,133 --> 00:16:26,834
the discussion before as far

374
00:16:26,834 --> 00:16:28,767
as getting new people involved in the budget process

375
00:16:29,667 --> 00:16:32,834
and including new people, building our bench,

376
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:34,333
all those kind of things.

377
00:16:39,033 --> 00:16:40,867
One of the discussions we had was just going

378
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:42,000
through this budget process

379
00:16:42,867 --> 00:16:45,867
and then replacing the person

380
00:16:45,867 --> 00:16:47,500
that we're discussing after this.

381
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,133
But that was one stream of thought that,

382
00:16:50,133 --> 00:16:53,000
that we had in discussion of get through this budget,

383
00:16:53,133 --> 00:16:56,433
these budget meetings and then and replace.

384
00:16:58,133 --> 00:17:01,100
So I guess that's kind of where I'm at at this point,

385
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:04,767
as rather than having to go through removing someone

386
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:06,133
and replacing at this point.

387
00:17:06,133 --> 00:17:09,133
But I still feel like going forward that would be best.

388
00:17:09,867 --> 00:17:12,433
But considering what I now know about the

389
00:17:13,033 --> 00:17:15,934
not really resignation and it didn't get followed up

390
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,667
and formally happened for us to accept, that's,

391
00:17:22,634 --> 00:17:24,266
I guess where I'm at is that we're sort of,

392
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,300
we're in this bed for one more set of budget meetings.

393
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:33,066
- Council President Nolan.

394
00:17:35,233 --> 00:17:39,300
- Yeah, I, you know,

395
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:40,433
I don't think I have anything else

396
00:17:40,433 --> 00:17:43,667
to add just based on the discussion, what's happened here.

397
00:17:43,834 --> 00:17:46,500
I mean, I, I, you know, what, what started this is,

398
00:17:46,634 --> 00:17:49,767
and I know that our, our city manager's gonna send the,

399
00:17:50,033 --> 00:17:52,634
the email string out to everybody and it's not fair

400
00:17:53,066 --> 00:17:56,066
'cause you don't have it in front of you to really look at

401
00:17:56,266 --> 00:17:57,867
as you, and,

402
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,634
and like Nathan said, I mean this started on

403
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:05,867
January 24th, 2026

404
00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:11,266
offering up, there are four applications that I would resign

405
00:18:11,333 --> 00:18:13,300
to let a do applicant take my place.

406
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:18,066
But, you know, then where things started changing was,

407
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:23,266
say recorder sending a message out on April 2nd, and,

408
00:18:23,266 --> 00:18:25,066
and I'm not reading, you don't want me

409
00:18:25,066 --> 00:18:26,734
to read the report forward.

410
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:33,567
And it says here just an excerpt of it,

411
00:18:34,834 --> 00:18:37,300
the candidate is aware that counsel's approval

412
00:18:37,467 --> 00:18:40,033
for their appointment is based on your continuing

413
00:18:40,033 --> 00:18:41,333
willingness to resign.

414
00:18:42,133 --> 00:18:44,467
You are still the appointed member of the position

415
00:18:44,634 --> 00:18:46,500
until you confirm resignation.

416
00:18:47,133 --> 00:18:48,467
So I haven't seen anything

417
00:18:49,233 --> 00:18:53,767
after that date that, that did any confirmation

418
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,734
to the, you know, for, for, for resignation.

419
00:18:59,834 --> 00:19:04,734
And then there was a follow up

420
00:19:04,834 --> 00:19:08,266
email from the city reporter on April the seventh

421
00:19:09,467 --> 00:19:10,767
that this indicated

422
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:13,333
that the last interview round had two applicants.

423
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:15,266
One was appointed to fill the vacancy

424
00:19:15,266 --> 00:19:18,900
and the other appointed with the caveat of your resignation.

425
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,367
It was made clear to the applicant

426
00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:23,133
that the appointment was dependent on whether your existing

427
00:19:23,266 --> 00:19:26,433
member you chose to resign.

428
00:19:26,634 --> 00:19:29,367
So there's no doubt, I mean there's, you know, if you read

429
00:19:29,367 --> 00:19:33,033
through this, I mean, I think at least from my perspective,

430
00:19:33,834 --> 00:19:37,900
a city reporter is an employee of the city

431
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:39,533
representing the city and,

432
00:19:39,533 --> 00:19:42,367
and trying to do the right thing each and every day.

433
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,033
It, it, to me it's just very clear.

434
00:19:46,133 --> 00:19:51,000
Now, you know, some may have some, you know, other questions

435
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:55,000
or, or doubts maybe as to what the best path would've been.

436
00:19:55,133 --> 00:19:58,900
But I just feel like we as a governing body are

437
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:04,033
really obligated to, to, to live up to what we've said here,

438
00:20:04,033 --> 00:20:05,166
either through ourselves

439
00:20:05,433 --> 00:20:09,634
or through the folks that we work with and, and hire.

440
00:20:09,867 --> 00:20:14,734
We hire Nathan. We don't hire the, the city recorder.

441
00:20:14,767 --> 00:20:17,667
But it, it is clear to me the intent is to,

442
00:20:22,233 --> 00:20:24,934
it, it it is to have him still be

443
00:20:25,266 --> 00:20:26,467
represented on the budget committee.

444
00:20:26,867 --> 00:20:30,467
Now, if council just made some decision that, you know what,

445
00:20:30,667 --> 00:20:34,433
I just don't like it, I don't wanna do it, I think

446
00:20:34,433 --> 00:20:37,333
that's their prerogative to do that.

447
00:20:37,533 --> 00:20:39,233
But I just feel like we

448
00:20:40,734 --> 00:20:44,667
are just following the steps and the correspondence

449
00:20:44,700 --> 00:20:46,467
and the communication that happened.

450
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
- And to me, it's just the right thing to do.

451
00:20:50,867 --> 00:20:53,100
- I have not forgotten real quick Counsel Weber.

452
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,133
- Yeah, I don't think I have too much more to add.

453
00:20:57,867 --> 00:21:01,634
I will just say response to new counselor that, that night,

454
00:21:03,467 --> 00:21:06,033
my intent was based around the fact that

455
00:21:06,834 --> 00:21:11,133
this budget committee member had expressed intent to resign,

456
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:14,367
had, had that not been part of the equation,

457
00:21:14,734 --> 00:21:17,333
I probably would have, I mean, I definitely would've

458
00:21:18,133 --> 00:21:20,066
nominated differently since I was the one

459
00:21:20,066 --> 00:21:21,033
that nominated them both.

460
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:23,834
But yeah.

461
00:21:23,834 --> 00:21:27,533
And, and I still am in agreement that I am a huge supporter

462
00:21:27,533 --> 00:21:29,433
of getting new people

463
00:21:29,667 --> 00:21:32,734
and new perspectives into our committees.

464
00:21:33,634 --> 00:21:36,300
So I I do support that.

465
00:21:36,533 --> 00:21:41,066
But I hear what everyone has said about

466
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,533
the intricacies of this situation and,

467
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:52,000
and I understand if, if the course taken is to keep

468
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,066
that member on the budget committee

469
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:57,367
for this round,

470
00:21:58,433 --> 00:21:59,433
- We do.

471
00:21:59,433 --> 00:22:00,066
As it just so happens we do have

472
00:22:00,066 --> 00:22:01,300
that particular member here.

473
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
If you'd like to come up and say something.

474
00:22:04,066 --> 00:22:05,066
I know you expressed an interest.

475
00:22:05,433 --> 00:22:07,667
I think it's, now's a good, an appropriate time.

476
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:10,100
I have not missed you council, city manager

477
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:14,333
and council. I haven't missed you either.

478
00:22:14,767 --> 00:22:18,367
- Thank you, mayor. I think you guys deserve an explanation.

479
00:22:19,433 --> 00:22:23,900
- Sure. - In January when I applied

480
00:22:24,033 --> 00:22:28,266
and I was interviewed, I was not doing very well.

481
00:22:29,033 --> 00:22:32,000
I have a bad disease. PHI I'm not supposed to talk about it.

482
00:22:32,867 --> 00:22:34,367
And it's very debilitating.

483
00:22:35,266 --> 00:22:37,533
And I didn't know at that time that if I could,

484
00:22:37,567 --> 00:22:38,667
that I could serve.

485
00:22:39,533 --> 00:22:40,734
And when I looked at a list

486
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,100
of applicants, there wasn't enough.

487
00:22:42,867 --> 00:22:46,100
And I thought, well, you know, if, if they find somebody,

488
00:22:46,467 --> 00:22:50,567
you know now in January I will resign at that time.

489
00:22:51,834 --> 00:22:55,734
Well, from January to April working with two other docs,

490
00:22:55,767 --> 00:22:58,500
I got a little better and I am doing better.

491
00:22:59,667 --> 00:23:04,066
So when there was no advertising that I could see on the,

492
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:08,266
on the website, I thought, well, there's no one else there.

493
00:23:08,767 --> 00:23:10,667
And then all of a sudden I find out

494
00:23:10,667 --> 00:23:12,834
that they're appointing people from my position

495
00:23:13,867 --> 00:23:18,033
when I really, like I say, my health changed

496
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:21,533
and that's what changed my wanting to stay and not resign.

497
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:24,266
It was nothing to do with any other reason.

498
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,266
And I'm still suffering with it,

499
00:23:26,467 --> 00:23:27,767
but I've had it for two years

500
00:23:28,467 --> 00:23:30,300
and it's, it's not a neat thing.

501
00:23:30,567 --> 00:23:33,300
Plus it's other stuff I got. But that's immaterial.

502
00:23:33,867 --> 00:23:36,667
But that's the reason from January to April

503
00:23:36,667 --> 00:23:37,667
that I changed my mind.

504
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:40,867
Okay. And as I said, I love this city.

505
00:23:41,367 --> 00:23:43,266
I was a counselor, I was a mayor, you know,

506
00:23:43,266 --> 00:23:44,634
and I like to serve the city.

507
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:48,767
- That's what I like. That's what I try to do. Okay.

508
00:23:48,934 --> 00:23:50,300
Appreciate that insight. Thank you.

509
00:23:52,033 --> 00:23:53,133
I will get Councilor Copeland.

510
00:23:57,500 --> 00:23:58,166
Well, I'm not,

511
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:00,266
- I'm not sure my question's relevant anymore.

512
00:24:00,266 --> 00:24:03,367
That helped clear things up a little bit for me.

513
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:07,000
I was, I was just gonna ask, so prior,

514
00:24:07,033 --> 00:24:10,066
after the email, emails that counselor Owen read,

515
00:24:11,667 --> 00:24:15,667
did you say there was an email sent to you saying

516
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:18,700
that he would no longer like to resign?

517
00:24:18,734 --> 00:24:20,500
Is that the under, is that my understanding?

518
00:24:22,066 --> 00:24:24,367
- I'm happy to, I if I may, mayor. Yes,

519
00:24:24,367 --> 00:24:25,367
- Please.

520
00:24:25,367 --> 00:24:27,300
- Let, let, yes, let me, I thank you.

521
00:24:28,066 --> 00:24:29,734
So let me, let's really quickly.

522
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,667
So in January, Ted sent an email saying, I intend

523
00:24:33,667 --> 00:24:35,066
to resign if the other applicants,

524
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:37,166
he reiterated again the same thing.

525
00:24:38,066 --> 00:24:41,533
And then fast forward along, we got to the point.

526
00:24:41,767 --> 00:24:43,433
So our understanding was, I want you,

527
00:24:43,433 --> 00:24:44,767
this was not something documented,

528
00:24:44,767 --> 00:24:45,934
it's just internal discussion.

529
00:24:45,934 --> 00:24:48,266
And internally we talked. Well, he said he resigned.

530
00:24:48,266 --> 00:24:52,233
Said he resigned. So when we put together the intent from

531
00:24:52,367 --> 00:24:54,133
staff's point of view, at least, was that

532
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:56,634
we have an applicant who said he resign.

533
00:24:56,734 --> 00:24:59,033
So that's why we weren't really concerned.

534
00:24:59,033 --> 00:25:00,166
We brought to the council,

535
00:25:00,734 --> 00:25:03,000
thought everything was good, it was approved.

536
00:25:03,634 --> 00:25:05,033
Our city recorder sent an email

537
00:25:05,033 --> 00:25:06,000
and said, Hey, just to let you

538
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,634
know, are you planning on resigning?

539
00:25:07,767 --> 00:25:10,533
'cause we just adopted this. And then we got an email back

540
00:25:10,533 --> 00:25:12,100
that said, no, I'm not resigning.

541
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:13,934
This was a week after, a full week

542
00:25:13,934 --> 00:25:16,634
after the, the de the appointments were on the April 1st.

543
00:25:17,133 --> 00:25:19,533
We got an email back on April 8th and not resigning.

544
00:25:20,066 --> 00:25:21,133
Well, I was faced with a choice

545
00:25:21,133 --> 00:25:22,900
because here I am, what do I do?

546
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:25,433
So as city manager, I take full responsibility.

547
00:25:25,667 --> 00:25:28,066
I looked through it and thought the intent was to resign.

548
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:29,266
And so I wrote him an email

549
00:25:29,333 --> 00:25:30,767
and said, thank you for your service.

550
00:25:31,133 --> 00:25:32,467
You know, counsel's appointed someone.

551
00:25:33,066 --> 00:25:36,000
And you know, and then of course I had some feedback that,

552
00:25:36,033 --> 00:25:37,266
that might not be proper.

553
00:25:37,433 --> 00:25:39,667
So I checked with our attorney and my, an attorney

554
00:25:39,667 --> 00:25:42,367
and I went over it and she said, legally

555
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:44,900
that's not correct in naturally resign.

556
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:47,166
So I wrote back and said, I apologized for my error.

557
00:25:47,834 --> 00:25:50,100
And legally you are still on the count.

558
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:52,066
On the count, I'm sorry, on the budget committee.

559
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:54,166
So I want you to know where I stood

560
00:25:54,266 --> 00:25:55,634
and what I did, what I did.

561
00:25:55,667 --> 00:25:58,000
And I certainly apologize that I didn't realize

562
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000
that was a legal standing,

563
00:25:59,033 --> 00:26:00,433
but I was going with the intent

564
00:26:00,433 --> 00:26:01,900
that we understood from staff

565
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:03,000
and what I understood from counsel.

566
00:26:03,367 --> 00:26:07,033
- So - Did that answer your question, counselor? Yeah,

567
00:26:07,033 --> 00:26:08,033
- Thank you.

568
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:09,567
- You're welcome. Okay.

569
00:26:10,367 --> 00:26:12,266
- I I have no problem. Table listen, tabling this

570
00:26:12,266 --> 00:26:14,266
until the 1st of January or 1st of June.

571
00:26:14,266 --> 00:26:16,934
Sorry. Let's get through budget and we have what we have.

572
00:26:17,634 --> 00:26:20,333
Let's work, let's not rock the boat. Yeah. Until after.

573
00:26:21,367 --> 00:26:23,333
- We can address it at a later date. Yep, exactly.

574
00:26:23,467 --> 00:26:27,133
Is that what I'm hearing? Yes. Okay. Excellent.

575
00:26:27,367 --> 00:26:31,700
We have a full budget committee. Let's see.

576
00:26:31,834 --> 00:26:35,000
We have city manager reports.

577
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:36,900
MCSO report.

578
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,834
- Mayor, if I, yes.

579
00:26:39,834 --> 00:26:40,734
If I may, I want to

580
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,266
introduce our Public works director first.

581
00:26:42,634 --> 00:26:45,767
- You, you're right. I knew that we talked about We are so

582
00:26:46,467 --> 00:26:49,033
so It's not polite if it's not on the paper.

583
00:26:49,333 --> 00:26:50,834
I ******* well

584
00:26:51,333 --> 00:26:52,533
- It all came to, I apologize.

585
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:54,000
No, no, it's fine. Thank you.

586
00:26:54,033 --> 00:26:56,834
I want to just introduce Silas Richardson

587
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,033
and he was most recently the Public

588
00:26:59,033 --> 00:27:00,100
Works director at Gladstone.

589
00:27:00,667 --> 00:27:03,333
And he has, I wonder if I'll have him introduce

590
00:27:03,333 --> 00:27:04,533
himself more to his report.

591
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:06,000
Yes. Because he'll be up there.

592
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,100
But just have, do you wanna go up now? Talk about yourself.

593
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,533
Okay. I'll have him just say a few things and why not

594
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,000
- Let's, let's shake it up.

595
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:15,367
Do the report. Yeah, bring it, do your report come

596
00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:16,367
- In.

597
00:27:16,367 --> 00:27:18,000
And then we'll to the sheriff's office that we're,

598
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,467
- We're not, - We're really excited to be here.

599
00:27:19,767 --> 00:27:23,133
He is already been crazy busy. No, that's

600
00:27:23,133 --> 00:27:24,133
- Great.

601
00:27:24,133 --> 00:27:26,000
Welcome. Welcome to, welcome to Fairview.

602
00:27:26,033 --> 00:27:27,734
- Thank you. I'm happy to be here.

603
00:27:27,867 --> 00:27:31,533
It's, it's been, it's an honor and yeah, it's been great.

604
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:34,033
Two weeks drinking from a fire hose as they say,

605
00:27:34,033 --> 00:27:36,133
or climbing up the hockey stick.

606
00:27:36,934 --> 00:27:38,634
Trying to absorb as much as I can.

607
00:27:38,867 --> 00:27:42,066
But a little bit about me, I'm local.

608
00:27:43,066 --> 00:27:47,367
Grew up in East County. Let's see, went to Barlow

609
00:27:48,033 --> 00:27:50,634
East, orient Mountain Community College, put myself

610
00:27:50,634 --> 00:27:52,033
through college and during that time

611
00:27:53,100 --> 00:27:55,100
just worked in farms around the area.

612
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:57,734
Berry farms and local construction jobs.

613
00:27:58,233 --> 00:28:00,333
Got an excavating in the mid-county sewer kind

614
00:28:00,333 --> 00:28:04,000
of boom back in the late eighties, early nineties, working

615
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,233
for local excavators

616
00:28:05,233 --> 00:28:08,333
and then took a little time off in college.

617
00:28:08,467 --> 00:28:11,367
Did AmeriCorps for a year where I was in TR Lake Washington.

618
00:28:12,033 --> 00:28:14,467
And I got connected with the city.

619
00:28:14,467 --> 00:28:17,367
Aggression, became a seasonal and

620
00:28:17,367 --> 00:28:18,867
after graduating from Oregon State,

621
00:28:20,367 --> 00:28:23,033
started my career in public works, worked my way up

622
00:28:23,033 --> 00:28:26,500
through at the city of Gresham and kind of got to the top

623
00:28:26,667 --> 00:28:28,033
and needed to branch out.

624
00:28:28,734 --> 00:28:32,567
So Portland Water, Gladstone and here.

625
00:28:33,333 --> 00:28:34,500
So I'm happy to be here.

626
00:28:34,634 --> 00:28:38,033
I've been in public works pretty close to 27 years.

627
00:28:40,033 --> 00:28:43,500
Happily married, stepdaughter daughter

628
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:46,634
that's in New York City, not a student.

629
00:28:47,467 --> 00:28:50,000
So just happy to be here, love the industry

630
00:28:50,233 --> 00:28:52,867
and I'm eager to just really help out

631
00:28:52,934 --> 00:28:55,000
and continue building the team

632
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,033
and making good moves for public

633
00:28:57,033 --> 00:28:58,033
- Works.

634
00:28:58,033 --> 00:28:58,367
So

635
00:28:58,734 --> 00:29:01,233
- If you ever wanna know anything else, hobbies?

636
00:29:01,467 --> 00:29:03,533
I, I like to ski, but I'm kind of limited now.

637
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,033
Got a little bit of arthritis in the bones from

638
00:29:06,033 --> 00:29:07,000
all the skiing I did when I was younger.

639
00:29:07,033 --> 00:29:10,467
But I do a lot of walking, some hiking and my wife

640
00:29:10,467 --> 00:29:13,767
and I like to travel so that's kind of our thing now.

641
00:29:13,934 --> 00:29:16,533
So, but yeah, it's really good to be here.

642
00:29:16,734 --> 00:29:17,867
I'm sorry if I'm a little nervous

643
00:29:18,033 --> 00:29:19,700
and I've only been here two weeks

644
00:29:19,734 --> 00:29:21,233
so my report's gonna be a little short,

645
00:29:21,333 --> 00:29:22,567
but I'll tell you what I do know.

646
00:29:25,133 --> 00:29:27,367
I think my report is, is in good standing

647
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:31,000
when I've seen a public works over the last two weeks.

648
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,867
And what I've gotten from the operations manager is we've

649
00:29:33,867 --> 00:29:38,266
been doing a lot of routine tasks, mainly in parks,

650
00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:40,734
a lot of mowing right now the grass has grown

651
00:29:40,834 --> 00:29:43,934
so they've been taking care of the regular mowing as well

652
00:29:43,934 --> 00:29:45,300
as RightWay and alleyways.

653
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:48,033
They're doing the regular inspections of parks

654
00:29:48,033 --> 00:29:50,066
of all the playground equipment,

655
00:29:50,066 --> 00:29:52,934
making sure they're in good working order, the garbage runs.

656
00:29:52,934 --> 00:29:54,066
There's a little bit of an uptick

657
00:29:54,066 --> 00:29:55,000
now 'cause more people are out.

658
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,500
So they're making sure all the garbage is picked up.

659
00:29:58,133 --> 00:29:59,867
Special projects and parks.

660
00:29:59,867 --> 00:30:02,767
We've been doing some dock work at the docks that we have.

661
00:30:03,867 --> 00:30:05,100
I don't know exactly where they're at,

662
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:06,133
but I know there's two of 'em.

663
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,233
One of 'em is at Fairview.

664
00:30:08,533 --> 00:30:10,066
- I I pass by one of them all the time

665
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:11,533
and my wife elbows me.

666
00:30:11,667 --> 00:30:13,000
When is that gonna get fixed?

667
00:30:13,066 --> 00:30:15,934
- We've got both of them on slated to get fixed.

668
00:30:16,367 --> 00:30:19,033
One of 'em is done I believe, and the next one is up.

669
00:30:19,133 --> 00:30:20,634
So they should be fixed by

670
00:30:21,100 --> 00:30:23,867
this summertime when we start getting into the summer.

671
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,066
Let's see, what else For parks we're,

672
00:30:29,066 --> 00:30:31,734
we're working on hiring some seasonals for the season.

673
00:30:32,467 --> 00:30:36,066
We're in that process. And then just the general public

674
00:30:36,066 --> 00:30:38,033
calls that come in, just asking about maybe a

675
00:30:38,166 --> 00:30:39,467
low branch or this or that.

676
00:30:40,066 --> 00:30:43,500
Also been working with engineers, engineering

677
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:47,000
or civil tech to identify

678
00:30:47,166 --> 00:30:49,834
and put together also the operations manager.

679
00:30:50,033 --> 00:30:52,634
Different concrete repairs that are needed.

680
00:30:52,634 --> 00:30:54,133
Down pathways within parks

681
00:30:54,166 --> 00:30:56,100
and different areas that are city owned.

682
00:30:56,133 --> 00:30:58,367
So we've got a couple different projects

683
00:30:58,367 --> 00:31:00,266
that we're putting together for that for some repairs.

684
00:31:00,266 --> 00:31:01,367
That'll be coming up here as well.

685
00:31:04,467 --> 00:31:05,834
One other thing they're doing is a lot

686
00:31:05,834 --> 00:31:07,100
of shrub bed maintenance right now

687
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:09,467
and some herbicide application in when, when it's needed.

688
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:12,533
So that's storm water wise we're doing

689
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:17,033
regular inspections of outfalls, especially

690
00:31:17,033 --> 00:31:19,066
during rainy times and just making sure

691
00:31:19,066 --> 00:31:21,100
that the system is working correctly.

692
00:31:21,934 --> 00:31:23,467
Our engineer tech is working on the

693
00:31:23,567 --> 00:31:25,300
N-D-P-E-S permit renewal.

694
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:28,066
That's our permit with DEQ. He's always working on that.

695
00:31:28,033 --> 00:31:31,066
Yeah, it it's almost like Daniel, it really is.

696
00:31:32,033 --> 00:31:34,500
'cause you're around Waterwise.

697
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:40,333
We did have a little bit of a hiccup at R, well eight, one

698
00:31:40,333 --> 00:31:44,133
of the three phases for the VFD blew a fuse.

699
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:47,567
It's just related to age. May have been a surge in power.

700
00:31:48,266 --> 00:31:49,834
PGE did come out and look at it

701
00:31:49,834 --> 00:31:51,734
and said that the power incoming was good,

702
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:55,266
but we had a service call so we replaced all the fuses

703
00:31:55,734 --> 00:31:57,033
and have scheduled some other

704
00:31:57,867 --> 00:31:59,033
maintenance here in the next month.

705
00:31:59,033 --> 00:32:00,567
Just to kind of clean up the VFD.

706
00:32:00,634 --> 00:32:02,567
It's, it's aged, it's about 15 years,

707
00:32:02,567 --> 00:32:04,467
which is typical life of A VFD.

708
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,100
So we'll be talking about what possible, what's a VFT?

709
00:32:07,266 --> 00:32:10,133
A V FD is a very variable frequency drive. That's

710
00:32:10,133 --> 00:32:11,100
- How you make a motor change

711
00:32:11,100 --> 00:32:12,300
speed without changing voltage.

712
00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:14,867
- Correct. Yeah. - How how big is that? 400?

713
00:32:14,867 --> 00:32:17,834
- 800? I don't know the actual capacity.

714
00:32:17,834 --> 00:32:19,000
It's a four 80 volt. I know that.

715
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,233
Yeah, but I don't know the size of the motor so big.

716
00:32:22,934 --> 00:32:25,100
But anyways, that happened.

717
00:32:25,133 --> 00:32:28,567
We also had a little hiccup with our transducer for one

718
00:32:28,567 --> 00:32:30,000
of our reservoir levels.

719
00:32:30,867 --> 00:32:33,333
Crews climbed it and did some repairs to it.

720
00:32:33,367 --> 00:32:34,500
So it's, it's functioning

721
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:36,767
but I think we're gonna have to probably replace it as well.

722
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:39,033
So that's kind of what's been going on in water.

723
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:41,066
Otherwise it's just routine.

724
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:43,000
They're continuing on with flushing right now.

725
00:32:43,367 --> 00:32:45,300
They're almost done with south of Sandy,

726
00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:47,033
a couple more streets to take care of.

727
00:32:47,033 --> 00:32:49,700
And then they'll be on the north side of Sandy doing the,

728
00:32:50,066 --> 00:32:52,033
I guess they call that the lower pressure zone.

729
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,500
But flushings going real well.

730
00:32:55,433 --> 00:32:59,834
And then routine sampling is going on just for

731
00:33:01,066 --> 00:33:04,100
regulatory reasons and then for daily samples

732
00:33:04,133 --> 00:33:06,266
that we're doing just for chlorine residuals

733
00:33:06,266 --> 00:33:10,033
and other orthophosphate to make sure

734
00:33:10,033 --> 00:33:11,467
that levels are in good conditions.

735
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,567
So wastewater, we've just been doing a lot

736
00:33:16,567 --> 00:33:19,867
of different customer calls related to repairs for,

737
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
for customers, just giving information that's needed,

738
00:33:23,767 --> 00:33:25,333
talking through processes and stuff.

739
00:33:25,467 --> 00:33:30,000
So let's see some other stuff that's going on.

740
00:33:31,333 --> 00:33:33,066
Well, 10 is progressing well.

741
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:38,000
The driller recently reached what we believe is the,

742
00:33:38,333 --> 00:33:41,100
what GSI, the consultant believes is the sand

743
00:33:41,133 --> 00:33:42,300
and gravel aquifer.

744
00:33:42,734 --> 00:33:46,834
So they're at about, they got to 491 feet,

745
00:33:46,834 --> 00:33:48,867
which was the level that they wanted to see.

746
00:33:50,467 --> 00:33:54,333
But what's called the confining unit of clay wasn't quite

747
00:33:54,667 --> 00:33:56,100
as thick as they were anticipating.

748
00:33:57,100 --> 00:34:00,834
So we exploratory, drilled another 50 feet

749
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:05,934
to check and the results were proved out

750
00:34:05,934 --> 00:34:09,033
that we were within the, the aquifer that we need to be in.

751
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:11,934
So that's good. The next

752
00:34:13,567 --> 00:34:18,033
work has also begun on one of the buildings.

753
00:34:18,433 --> 00:34:20,367
So they're starting to do some foundation work,

754
00:34:20,433 --> 00:34:23,500
some footings, some forms that'll be happening.

755
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:26,767
And then this next week it's anticipated

756
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,000
to start putting in the permanent casing as well

757
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,834
as the seal at the base of the well,

758
00:34:33,066 --> 00:34:36,233
which seals in the screen where the motor

759
00:34:36,233 --> 00:34:38,867
and the pump will actually sit in the bottom of the well

760
00:34:39,166 --> 00:34:43,000
and that'll encapsulate the make sure that the water

761
00:34:43,066 --> 00:34:45,333
and the aquifer that we're pulling from goes up

762
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:46,934
through the casing basically.

763
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,333
And we get that water and nothing else with that.

764
00:34:50,333 --> 00:34:53,066
However, there will be 24 hour work.

765
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:55,367
So we just learned that today

766
00:34:55,367 --> 00:34:57,567
and we're starting, notifications will be

767
00:34:58,133 --> 00:35:00,066
hanging notices on homes.

768
00:35:01,033 --> 00:35:04,000
It's, it's a job where once they start they can't stop

769
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,033
because for

770
00:35:05,266 --> 00:35:06,266
- How long?

771
00:35:06,367 --> 00:35:08,500
- For one day. - Oh hell, I can deal with

772
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:10,233
- That one day, one night and

773
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:13,000
- I can set my clock by those guys firing I rig

774
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
- Up.

775
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,567
It won't be as noisy as the regular drilling. Okay.

776
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,333
- It's actually, it's so full disclosure,

777
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:20,133
I live one lot away from it

778
00:35:20,734 --> 00:35:24,834
and it actually, they have been amazingly unobtrusive.

779
00:35:24,867 --> 00:35:28,734
There's a really low rumbling that relative

780
00:35:28,734 --> 00:35:31,233
to the planes on the ILS runway, you know,

781
00:35:31,367 --> 00:35:32,467
two eight right approach.

782
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:33,934
It's quieter than that.

783
00:35:34,166 --> 00:35:36,066
- So. So that's probably what you'll hear at night.

784
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:38,233
So if you like white noise it might actually, yeah,

785
00:35:38,233 --> 00:35:39,233
- It might be beneficial.

786
00:35:39,266 --> 00:35:41,033
My wife will sleep better or something. I don't know.

787
00:35:41,033 --> 00:35:42,367
Yeah, you might get a good night sleep though.

788
00:35:42,767 --> 00:35:44,333
- There you go. So that is happening

789
00:35:44,333 --> 00:35:48,000
and we will, we will be putting door hangers on the 250

790
00:35:48,667 --> 00:35:50,100
- Radius - Thank you. Homes tomorrow.

791
00:35:50,133 --> 00:35:52,533
- So, because otherwise calls will happen. Yeah.

792
00:35:52,533 --> 00:35:53,533
- And I believe, we'll why are

793
00:35:53,533 --> 00:35:56,100
- They working around the clock? Yeah, they kind of,

794
00:35:56,433 --> 00:35:57,433
- Yeah.

795
00:35:57,433 --> 00:35:59,533
And if we would've known sooner, we would've done it sooner.

796
00:35:59,667 --> 00:36:02,000
But I think we're also posting it on the website.

797
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,066
Maybe social media too.

798
00:36:03,233 --> 00:36:05,300
But that just happened at the end of the day today.

799
00:36:05,367 --> 00:36:07,000
So we're working feverishly through that.

800
00:36:08,634 --> 00:36:13,066
Let's see, the project manager,

801
00:36:13,066 --> 00:36:16,266
Nate Mid Ley, has been working with 12 mile disposal

802
00:36:16,367 --> 00:36:20,467
to coordinate bulky item pickup for multi-family residents

803
00:36:20,467 --> 00:36:24,066
as part of the May spring cleanup event Outreach.

804
00:36:24,467 --> 00:36:25,533
Outreach has been finalized

805
00:36:25,567 --> 00:36:27,634
to all multi-family property managers

806
00:36:28,166 --> 00:36:30,767
and they're now scheduling pickup dates with the

807
00:36:30,767 --> 00:36:31,300
- Collector. So

808
00:36:31,567 --> 00:36:33,300
- That's been going on in recycling

809
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,100
Type of work that we do.

810
00:36:38,233 --> 00:36:43,100
Also, the city recently submitted a metro

811
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:45,033
local share application to access funding

812
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:47,133
for park improvements at s ponds.

813
00:36:48,033 --> 00:36:51,000
Metro had set a deadline for jurisdictions

814
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,266
to get under contract by the end of June,

815
00:36:53,266 --> 00:36:55,033
which is now on track.

816
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:58,133
The city's now on track to meet some of the improvements

817
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,867
that we're gonna try to

818
00:37:00,266 --> 00:37:02,467
accomplish are improved site parking,

819
00:37:02,467 --> 00:37:05,000
including some A-D-A-A-D-A parking space,

820
00:37:06,033 --> 00:37:09,433
a covered picnic area, some invasive species removal,

821
00:37:09,867 --> 00:37:13,300
some native plannings, new educational signs

822
00:37:14,133 --> 00:37:17,900
and additional plat fishing platforms on the east pond.

823
00:37:19,033 --> 00:37:21,934
The majority of which were included in the 2017

824
00:37:22,066 --> 00:37:23,634
Master parks master plan.

825
00:37:25,033 --> 00:37:27,634
I think the project will also include a robust community

826
00:37:27,634 --> 00:37:30,700
engagement process, but it's all in kind

827
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:32,100
of application form right now.

828
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:36,433
So that's in the works as well.

829
00:37:38,567 --> 00:37:42,834
And lastly, there's some other items. Sorry,

830
00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:43,900
- I just got an email.

831
00:37:45,867 --> 00:37:48,166
- So - I just wanna point out, he's been here two weeks

832
00:37:48,333 --> 00:37:50,500
and he said this was gonna be a quick report. Oh, okay.

833
00:37:51,433 --> 00:37:53,100
- Three, three more things and I'm done.

834
00:37:56,433 --> 00:37:57,700
Our civil engineer tech,

835
00:37:58,066 --> 00:38:00,500
he's also working on A-C-D-B-G design project

836
00:38:00,533 --> 00:38:04,934
with all county as well as a CD BG reimbursement processing.

837
00:38:05,367 --> 00:38:07,133
He's working on

838
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:10,867
updating city standards and specs.

839
00:38:11,834 --> 00:38:14,467
He's compiling PCI and traffic count data

840
00:38:15,266 --> 00:38:17,934
and some multimodal inventory for odot.

841
00:38:18,066 --> 00:38:20,166
And he's reviewing different right

842
00:38:20,166 --> 00:38:22,166
of way private development projects that are coming in.

843
00:38:22,166 --> 00:38:26,000
So that's my end of report. Thank you very much. You're

844
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,266
- Pretty in depth for two weeks, man.

845
00:38:27,367 --> 00:38:29,433
For two weeks. That's pretty good. Okay.

846
00:38:30,033 --> 00:38:32,667
I'll get better too. So, and quicker.

847
00:38:33,166 --> 00:38:35,166
I, you know what, we're happy you're here. Thank you.

848
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,834
You know, not to belabor who, who is left

849
00:38:39,834 --> 00:38:41,000
or who wasn't, who isn't here,

850
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,934
but I kind of felt like we finally had a management team.

851
00:38:43,934 --> 00:38:46,500
We finally had some solid footing and damn John.

852
00:38:46,734 --> 00:38:47,934
Okay, we're gonna lose one,

853
00:38:48,133 --> 00:38:49,467
but we're very happy you're here.

854
00:38:49,634 --> 00:38:51,066
Very happy to, happy.

855
00:38:51,467 --> 00:38:53,233
- Thank you. So thank you. Thank you very much.

856
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:56,133
- Is there anything else you wanted to say?

857
00:38:56,266 --> 00:38:58,500
I something Oh yes, please.

858
00:38:59,100 --> 00:39:00,734
- And I will email you about this

859
00:39:01,033 --> 00:39:03,066
'cause I know that you're, you're new, so a lot

860
00:39:03,066 --> 00:39:04,934
of this probably won't make sense to you,

861
00:39:05,133 --> 00:39:08,066
but I am having an issue over on Chinook Way.

862
00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:11,467
So I live in the town homes on the south side of the street

863
00:39:12,066 --> 00:39:14,000
and there's apartments across from us

864
00:39:14,033 --> 00:39:17,767
and there's two sections where the, it's kind

865
00:39:17,767 --> 00:39:20,767
of set back from the street to allow for angled parking.

866
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:24,000
Yep. So the issues we're having on this street is one,

867
00:39:24,066 --> 00:39:26,233
we have a ton of people that park the wrong

868
00:39:26,233 --> 00:39:27,867
way all over the place.

869
00:39:28,333 --> 00:39:31,734
And then these angled spots, there's room

870
00:39:31,734 --> 00:39:33,867
for four cars if properly parked,

871
00:39:34,233 --> 00:39:37,033
but it leaves enough room for a small car

872
00:39:37,467 --> 00:39:42,066
or a huge giant truck to park there, which

873
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:45,033
they're a third of the way into out of the street.

874
00:39:45,033 --> 00:39:47,066
And the rest of them it's walking the street

875
00:39:47,133 --> 00:39:49,000
and multiple times I've seen it

876
00:39:49,066 --> 00:39:51,533
where there's no way a fire engine could get through there.

877
00:39:51,834 --> 00:39:56,367
So wondering if we could possibly look at painting

878
00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:59,634
stripes and then the cross out

879
00:40:00,066 --> 00:40:01,533
or the section that is the note parking

880
00:40:02,734 --> 00:40:05,634
and maybe even like some signs for front end parking only

881
00:40:05,634 --> 00:40:07,834
because when people back up, I mean,

882
00:40:08,033 --> 00:40:09,066
we'll have people parked this way

883
00:40:09,066 --> 00:40:10,467
and then somebody else is this way

884
00:40:10,467 --> 00:40:12,734
and then somebody else comes around this way

885
00:40:12,934 --> 00:40:14,634
and it, it's just, it's chaotic.

886
00:40:15,233 --> 00:40:16,233
- I, I've actually heard this

887
00:40:16,433 --> 00:40:18,233
and it's on my to-do list, so Okay.

888
00:40:18,266 --> 00:40:20,000
I'm, I'm working on it and coming up with a plan.

889
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,333
I'll be working with the operations manager. So there's,

890
00:40:22,333 --> 00:40:23,333
- Okay.

891
00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:24,834
And, and to piggyback on that, all

892
00:40:24,834 --> 00:40:28,333
of the pocket parks in the village, you're, we sandbag you.

893
00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:32,266
'cause there's three of us who live in the village, the all

894
00:40:32,266 --> 00:40:34,734
of the pocket parks are not, there's no parking.

895
00:40:34,734 --> 00:40:36,834
They're under 20 feet by state code.

896
00:40:37,033 --> 00:40:38,367
Tell that to the moron who decides

897
00:40:38,367 --> 00:40:40,066
that they've gotta do whatever and park there.

898
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:42,066
And I've gone out and said, Hey,

899
00:40:42,066 --> 00:40:43,266
you really can't park here if a

900
00:40:43,266 --> 00:40:44,867
firetruck has to get through an ambulance.

901
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,233
And those curves hadn't,

902
00:40:47,233 --> 00:40:50,100
those curbs haven't been read in over a decade.

903
00:40:51,033 --> 00:40:53,634
So it would be really cool if we could paint all

904
00:40:53,667 --> 00:40:56,033
of the stuff that's no parking in the village, at least,

905
00:40:56,166 --> 00:40:58,066
you know, for the next few years to be able to say,

906
00:40:58,100 --> 00:40:59,333
Hey, you can't park there. Yeah.

907
00:40:59,533 --> 00:41:00,634
- Also signs in the alley.

908
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,266
'cause that's the other part that we struggle

909
00:41:03,333 --> 00:41:05,000
with is there's limited parking.

910
00:41:05,133 --> 00:41:06,533
So then people park in the alley

911
00:41:07,467 --> 00:41:10,100
and they're, you know, half their cars on the black top.

912
00:41:10,634 --> 00:41:12,767
They're just parked in front of the garage, but it's not an

913
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
- Accident.

914
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,100
And then I go down and I yell at them and yeah.

915
00:41:15,333 --> 00:41:16,634
And then call it in. And

916
00:41:16,634 --> 00:41:19,300
- Same thing like the concern is that a fire engine would,

917
00:41:19,300 --> 00:41:20,467
would not be able to get through.

918
00:41:20,867 --> 00:41:22,934
- I completely understood. If you could get a list

919
00:41:22,934 --> 00:41:26,000
and give it to Nathan and we will discuss it and I'll,

920
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,467
- He's jotting things down. I will

921
00:41:28,367 --> 00:41:30,266
- By the way, as I can. Perfect.

922
00:41:30,734 --> 00:41:32,734
- Email. Nathan. - Thank you.

923
00:41:33,166 --> 00:41:35,834
- Thank you. Thank you. And welcome. Welcome. Yeah. Yes.

924
00:41:36,333 --> 00:41:37,734
Is there anything else you wanted to say

925
00:41:37,734 --> 00:41:39,100
or was that left on from last time?

926
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:40,700
That's all Mayor. Thank you. Okay, thank you very much.

927
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,867
Do we wanna start off with MCSO Down?

928
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:58,533
- All - Right, good evening. And with respect

929
00:41:58,533 --> 00:41:59,634
to Councilman Todd,

930
00:41:59,867 --> 00:42:02,533
I know if it was represent your favorite English premier

931
00:42:02,700 --> 00:42:05,367
club outta worn all my Manchester United gear

932
00:42:05,367 --> 00:42:07,300
and we can go start with a turf war in here

933
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:11,133
and we'll start throwing beer steins at each other.

934
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:18,033
Chelsea is, they're well below in terms

935
00:42:18,066 --> 00:42:21,033
of dislike Liverpool leads Man city. Yeah,

936
00:42:21,033 --> 00:42:22,867
- But we've also won every trophy that exists.

937
00:42:23,066 --> 00:42:26,133
- It's true. You have, yeah. So we

938
00:42:26,867 --> 00:42:28,467
- No you haven't, you don't have a club World cup

939
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:30,500
and you don't have a conference league.

940
00:42:30,867 --> 00:42:31,900
Let's move on to your report.

941
00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:36,133
- Okay. - Tonight on ESPN,

942
00:42:36,734 --> 00:42:38,934
- I have a T-shirt that lists them all with pictures.

943
00:42:39,033 --> 00:42:40,033
Is that a mic drop

944
00:42:40,266 --> 00:42:41,266
- Moment?

945
00:42:43,066 --> 00:42:46,266
- Alright, anyway, do your actual Yeah, what's that? Yeah,

946
00:42:46,333 --> 00:42:47,333
- Yeah.

947
00:42:48,867 --> 00:42:53,533
- All right. So March was again a relatively quiet month,

948
00:42:53,533 --> 00:42:58,166
581 calls for service 300 and

949
00:42:58,834 --> 00:43:01,734
or yeah, 361 of those were self-initiated.

950
00:43:01,734 --> 00:43:04,033
220 were actually dispatched calls for service

951
00:43:05,033 --> 00:43:08,367
191 traffic stops were done in Fairview.

952
00:43:08,634 --> 00:43:11,133
And I'm sure some of you might have seen maybe this week,

953
00:43:11,033 --> 00:43:13,033
I know they've been hitting it again this week

954
00:43:13,066 --> 00:43:15,300
with traffic missions throughout the village

955
00:43:15,367 --> 00:43:17,533
and throughout all the different areas.

956
00:43:17,734 --> 00:43:22,266
So hopefully for April we'll be able

957
00:43:22,266 --> 00:43:25,734
to have even more for cases

958
00:43:26,266 --> 00:43:27,367
in the detective unit.

959
00:43:27,367 --> 00:43:28,634
There were nine that came in.

960
00:43:28,634 --> 00:43:31,700
Nothing really of note that came in.

961
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:34,700
If anyone has any questions specifically at the end,

962
00:43:34,734 --> 00:43:35,734
I can kind of answer those.

963
00:43:35,834 --> 00:43:39,467
But there were nothing, nothing too egregious that came in.

964
00:43:40,066 --> 00:43:44,133
I do wanna mention all the crime categories, person property

965
00:43:44,133 --> 00:43:45,300
and society crimes.

966
00:43:46,133 --> 00:43:49,934
We talked about it on Monday. Person crimes in Fairview.

967
00:43:50,033 --> 00:43:52,900
Slight decline over the course of the last year.

968
00:43:53,166 --> 00:43:56,166
Property crimes, more notable decline over the

969
00:43:56,166 --> 00:43:57,233
course of the last year.

970
00:43:57,867 --> 00:44:00,300
And society crimes, which would be kinda like your drunken

971
00:44:00,533 --> 00:44:01,767
disorderly, those kind of problems

972
00:44:02,133 --> 00:44:04,266
for some reason they've kind of gone up a little bit,

973
00:44:04,266 --> 00:44:05,467
seeing a little bit of a spike.

974
00:44:05,533 --> 00:44:07,700
I don't have any analogy as to why.

975
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,934
Usually we see those in the summer months.

976
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:14,033
So not St Patrick's Day could have been, that usually in

977
00:44:14,033 --> 00:44:15,734
and of itself will cause a big spike,

978
00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:17,934
but that's usually more downtown Portland.

979
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:22,500
So one stolen car over

980
00:44:22,634 --> 00:44:24,133
the, the last month.

981
00:44:26,734 --> 00:44:29,467
And really that is about it.

982
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:32,000
Of note, does anyone have any questions about

983
00:44:32,333 --> 00:44:33,734
activity levels?

984
00:44:34,266 --> 00:44:37,266
Any questions from our law enforcement community?

985
00:44:38,033 --> 00:44:41,000
No, not good. I will mention that there has been

986
00:44:42,367 --> 00:44:45,500
a change in, I guess, leadership positions

987
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:48,033
and movement throughout the sheriff's office in the last

988
00:44:48,033 --> 00:44:50,266
couple weeks due to a a retirement.

989
00:44:51,166 --> 00:44:55,867
So with that, I am now also covering the River Patrol

990
00:44:56,266 --> 00:44:58,133
dive team and the civil unit.

991
00:44:59,900 --> 00:45:02,033
So it's been a little bit busy the last couple weeks

992
00:45:03,500 --> 00:45:06,166
once Captain Hacker's back and I think he's in town now,

993
00:45:06,266 --> 00:45:09,500
but starting next week I will be out at River Patrol

994
00:45:09,567 --> 00:45:11,734
and Civil for the foreseeable future

995
00:45:11,734 --> 00:45:14,767
until we can get some people hired and positions replaced

996
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,634
and maybe they'll let me come back.

997
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,033
Okay. So for the foreseeable future,

998
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:21,033
you probably won't be seeing me here.

999
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:23,000
So I wish I'd have known, I would've definitely won

1000
00:45:23,767 --> 00:45:25,000
if I do get asked to come back.

1001
00:45:25,033 --> 00:45:27,667
It's almost a guarantee at this point, regardless of

1002
00:45:27,667 --> 00:45:29,667
what the sheriff says, so.

1003
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:32,867
Excellent. Well thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you.

1004
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:35,000
Alright, so we've kind of scrambled everything up.

1005
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,767
Where do we wanna go from here, Mr. City Manager?

1006
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,900
Pick between, let's go

1007
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:40,367
to our community development directors

1008
00:45:40,367 --> 00:45:42,233
and our recreation director then you got it.

1009
00:45:42,233 --> 00:45:47,000
Plants and me Community development. Why not at this point?

1010
00:45:47,033 --> 00:45:49,367
It's all up in the air next time.

1011
00:45:49,433 --> 00:45:53,500
Can we do it by color or pick your favorite color is pick.

1012
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:57,000
Pick a number. Pick a number. I I, I like.

1013
00:45:58,100 --> 00:45:59,867
- That's right. All right. Good evening,

1014
00:46:00,066 --> 00:46:01,900
mayor Cona and counselors.

1015
00:46:02,867 --> 00:46:04,900
So I'm gonna go through the different areas

1016
00:46:05,033 --> 00:46:06,033
of community development.

1017
00:46:06,867 --> 00:46:09,000
Permitting has been sort

1018
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,033
of on the quieter side this last month,

1019
00:46:11,767 --> 00:46:13,433
but we've been using that time

1020
00:46:13,533 --> 00:46:15,433
to do some other improvements, including

1021
00:46:16,533 --> 00:46:19,500
the e permitting system is now allowing people

1022
00:46:19,567 --> 00:46:22,634
who need a public works permit, like a right of way permit

1023
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,166
to do a sidewalk replacement to apply directly

1024
00:46:27,166 --> 00:46:28,300
for their permits online.

1025
00:46:28,467 --> 00:46:31,133
Whereas previously it's had to come

1026
00:46:31,133 --> 00:46:34,867
through our permit technician on A PDF or on paper form

1027
00:46:35,033 --> 00:46:36,634
and she's had to do all of that work.

1028
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,700
So we're glad for another streamlining process improvement.

1029
00:46:40,900 --> 00:46:42,767
I think that will be helpful for the customers

1030
00:46:43,100 --> 00:46:46,033
and hopefully help to encourage people to

1031
00:46:46,900 --> 00:46:49,667
schedule their inspections and close out their permits.

1032
00:46:51,433 --> 00:46:53,500
Let's see, in code compliance,

1033
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:57,500
we've been having the typical busy springtime activity

1034
00:46:58,533 --> 00:47:00,100
letters have gone out.

1035
00:47:00,100 --> 00:47:02,000
We're trying to make sure that people

1036
00:47:02,066 --> 00:47:06,867
who own particularly vacant lots are mowing their lots.

1037
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,767
I know that there are some like nearby

1038
00:47:09,133 --> 00:47:11,433
where the grass is getting quite long just due

1039
00:47:11,433 --> 00:47:13,066
to our early spring season here.

1040
00:47:13,166 --> 00:47:14,867
So we've been working on that.

1041
00:47:16,233 --> 00:47:21,066
Also, union Pacific Railroad was out today doing

1042
00:47:22,100 --> 00:47:23,667
some camp clearing

1043
00:47:23,667 --> 00:47:27,533
and posting along the railroad on the south

1044
00:47:27,533 --> 00:47:28,734
side of I 84.

1045
00:47:30,133 --> 00:47:32,834
There were two to three camps in that area

1046
00:47:34,133 --> 00:47:35,367
and that's been something

1047
00:47:35,367 --> 00:47:37,567
that we've been working on a lot over

1048
00:47:37,567 --> 00:47:38,634
the last couple of months.

1049
00:47:39,166 --> 00:47:42,000
Both coordination with the railroad and ODOT

1050
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,767
and the Hope team to post

1051
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:47,467
and help people move along

1052
00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:51,033
and then schedule the, the cleanup as needed.

1053
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,367
We've also been trying

1054
00:47:55,367 --> 00:47:58,133
to tackle more vehicle storage issues

1055
00:47:58,834 --> 00:48:01,700
as our code compliance officer John has just been more

1056
00:48:01,700 --> 00:48:03,033
proactively working.

1057
00:48:04,033 --> 00:48:07,333
There's just a lot of vehicles being improperly stored,

1058
00:48:07,500 --> 00:48:09,734
both on the street and on private property.

1059
00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:14,000
So those are, there are a number of cases for that as well

1060
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,066
as some related to home occupation businesses.

1061
00:48:17,500 --> 00:48:20,333
So we are working through those as well.

1062
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Let's see, in planning, we've been doing some coordination

1063
00:48:27,734 --> 00:48:32,033
around future applications, which may be development

1064
00:48:32,066 --> 00:48:34,367
or code amendment applications coming forward.

1065
00:48:35,367 --> 00:48:38,533
So we're just doing, I think a lot of early coordination

1066
00:48:38,533 --> 00:48:39,867
with applicants right now.

1067
00:48:41,367 --> 00:48:46,100
We also are preparing for the May 6th work session

1068
00:48:46,433 --> 00:48:48,700
to bring forward some proposed tree

1069
00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:50,033
amendments to the city council.

1070
00:48:51,066 --> 00:48:54,000
Following up on the Arbor Day proclamation, the

1071
00:48:54,634 --> 00:48:57,834
Oregon Department of Forestry did a press release announcing

1072
00:48:58,266 --> 00:49:01,333
the Tree city USA designation for Fairview.

1073
00:49:01,367 --> 00:49:03,300
So that got picked up by the Outlook

1074
00:49:03,333 --> 00:49:05,100
and some other news outlets

1075
00:49:05,934 --> 00:49:09,300
and we're working on getting a spot to hang up the

1076
00:49:10,066 --> 00:49:12,834
road signs that, say Tree City USA

1077
00:49:14,433 --> 00:49:15,934
in economic development.

1078
00:49:17,133 --> 00:49:21,033
There been a few businesses that we've been coordinating

1079
00:49:21,033 --> 00:49:24,100
with lately who are interested in leasing some

1080
00:49:24,100 --> 00:49:25,500
of the vacant commercial spaces

1081
00:49:25,734 --> 00:49:27,066
and interested in the grants.

1082
00:49:27,433 --> 00:49:30,533
So there are three businesses right now

1083
00:49:30,567 --> 00:49:34,100
that I think are making good progress, a mix

1084
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:35,567
of different commercial businesses.

1085
00:49:35,667 --> 00:49:38,066
So I'll be eager

1086
00:49:38,033 --> 00:49:41,133
to share more information once we actually get

1087
00:49:41,133 --> 00:49:42,300
an application turned in.

1088
00:49:43,900 --> 00:49:45,033
Yeah. So that's it

1089
00:49:45,033 --> 00:49:47,066
for community development today. Unless there are any questions,

1090
00:49:47,834 --> 00:49:49,500
- Does council have any questions? No,

1091
00:49:49,500 --> 00:49:51,266
- Just congratulations on Tree City.

1092
00:49:51,567 --> 00:49:52,634
- Oh, thank you. I mean, yeah,

1093
00:49:52,767 --> 00:49:54,300
- That, that was a long time coming

1094
00:49:54,433 --> 00:49:56,500
and when I first started on planning

1095
00:49:56,634 --> 00:49:57,934
and asked about it, it was like,

1096
00:49:59,133 --> 00:50:01,467
and now that we are, it's like, yay. So yeah. Yeah.

1097
00:50:02,066 --> 00:50:04,066
- And we're looking forward to some

1098
00:50:04,066 --> 00:50:07,333
of the capital improvement projects like the community

1099
00:50:07,333 --> 00:50:09,333
development block grant sidewalk project

1100
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:11,133
that will be happening in historic Fairview

1101
00:50:11,133 --> 00:50:13,000
as an opportunity to implement some

1102
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,634
of the New Tree standards. Cool.

1103
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:17,033
- That's fantastic. I know I shared with you one-on-one

1104
00:50:17,033 --> 00:50:19,133
that my appreciation for getting that done as well.

1105
00:50:20,066 --> 00:50:22,066
Real quick, I don't think it's anything,

1106
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:25,033
I don't think there's an encampment yet,

1107
00:50:25,233 --> 00:50:28,133
but I've noticed some increased activity on the heart

1108
00:50:28,133 --> 00:50:30,333
of Fairview site in Long Halsey.

1109
00:50:30,333 --> 00:50:32,033
Just East Village Street. There's the,

1110
00:50:32,033 --> 00:50:34,533
there's the depression where the grade is level

1111
00:50:34,533 --> 00:50:37,066
with the sidewalk and then just right up on top of the hill,

1112
00:50:37,066 --> 00:50:40,467
I've noticed an accumulation of stuff.

1113
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,266
- Okay, we'll go check it out. Okay.

1114
00:50:42,266 --> 00:50:45,033
There's been, that has is a popular spot.

1115
00:50:45,033 --> 00:50:46,233
There's been a couple that,

1116
00:50:46,734 --> 00:50:47,734
- Yeah, yeah.

1117
00:50:47,934 --> 00:50:49,133
It kind of comes and goes but,

1118
00:50:49,700 --> 00:50:52,934
but as a city owned property, I thought, yeah, it might be

1119
00:50:53,533 --> 00:50:54,834
kind of good and and

1120
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:57,233
and the funny part is it's not very well hidden.

1121
00:50:57,767 --> 00:51:00,100
Right. It's, it's pretty obvious. Yeah,

1122
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:01,033
- It's very close to the road.

1123
00:51:01,033 --> 00:51:02,266
- Okay. Excellent. Yeah, - Thank you

1124
00:51:02,333 --> 00:51:03,767
for letting me know. No

1125
00:51:03,867 --> 00:51:04,867
- Problem.

1126
00:51:06,767 --> 00:51:07,767
Recreation.

1127
00:51:19,667 --> 00:51:21,834
- Good - Evening, mayor Council, I'll start off

1128
00:51:21,834 --> 00:51:23,100
with Play East.

1129
00:51:24,233 --> 00:51:25,266
So we have our spring

1130
00:51:25,300 --> 00:51:28,900
and summer registration is open for folks

1131
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
who look at programs.

1132
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,500
We have, you should got the guide in the

1133
00:51:33,500 --> 00:51:34,667
mail earlier this month.

1134
00:51:35,166 --> 00:51:39,500
We're excited to start offering two new programs

1135
00:51:39,500 --> 00:51:40,500
with two new providers.

1136
00:51:40,734 --> 00:51:42,133
One is Webby Dance,

1137
00:51:43,066 --> 00:51:45,133
but they will be actually doing gymnastics

1138
00:51:45,133 --> 00:51:46,567
as though this is something that the community

1139
00:51:46,567 --> 00:51:47,634
has been asking for.

1140
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,367
We also are going to be partnering up with soccer shots,

1141
00:51:52,900 --> 00:51:55,066
offering weekend programming as that.

1142
00:51:55,066 --> 00:51:56,100
Again, something that the community

1143
00:51:56,100 --> 00:51:57,233
has been looking forward to.

1144
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,834
So we're excited. Currently we have 276

1145
00:52:03,033 --> 00:52:08,000
registered participants and we still have many programs

1146
00:52:08,033 --> 00:52:09,700
to open for registration.

1147
00:52:09,834 --> 00:52:13,133
And we are projecting to end the spring term

1148
00:52:13,133 --> 00:52:15,133
with about 300 registered participants.

1149
00:52:15,133 --> 00:52:16,734
So this is an increase of 12%.

1150
00:52:16,767 --> 00:52:19,100
So we're kind of seeing that pick back up.

1151
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:23,100
I know we had seen some decline earlier this year,

1152
00:52:24,500 --> 00:52:27,133
last month we also held a fundraising dinner

1153
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,700
with AG Burrito shops, the Wood Village Shop, Dale Gresham,

1154
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,233
lake Oswego Burrito Shop.

1155
00:52:33,634 --> 00:52:38,433
We finally got the amount that we raised from that night,

1156
00:52:39,266 --> 00:52:40,700
a little more than $1,100.

1157
00:52:40,767 --> 00:52:43,066
So that goes towards our fundraising efforts

1158
00:52:43,667 --> 00:52:45,000
and we're excited about that.

1159
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:50,000
We're, we also have a grant partnership

1160
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,100
with the rental school district.

1161
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:52,367
So they applied for a grant

1162
00:52:53,033 --> 00:52:56,000
to help their McKinney bentos program students.

1163
00:52:56,734 --> 00:53:00,233
So that's a program that we'll be coordinating to offer

1164
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,634
free programs to those students that are participating in

1165
00:53:03,634 --> 00:53:05,333
that program from the school district.

1166
00:53:07,734 --> 00:53:11,100
Also, play East participated at both city events,

1167
00:53:11,100 --> 00:53:12,166
which went really well.

1168
00:53:13,734 --> 00:53:15,900
Now for the recreation side.

1169
00:53:16,533 --> 00:53:19,133
Obviously ties into the Easter event that was held

1170
00:53:19,867 --> 00:53:22,333
the first Saturday in, in, in April.

1171
00:53:23,133 --> 00:53:27,100
We estimate anywhere from 1,215 com 1500 community members

1172
00:53:27,333 --> 00:53:31,867
attended, which was a great success for us to see.

1173
00:53:31,934 --> 00:53:35,000
We held this first year that we did a mini parade

1174
00:53:35,634 --> 00:53:37,567
that highlighted Play East participant

1175
00:53:38,033 --> 00:53:39,367
MCSO, the Easter Bunny.

1176
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:43,767
And our mayor also walked during that small parade there.

1177
00:53:44,767 --> 00:53:47,533
This year was our first year where we also obtained

1178
00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:51,834
sponsorships that really helped reimagine the event.

1179
00:53:52,066 --> 00:53:53,934
And so a big shout out

1180
00:53:53,934 --> 00:53:55,133
and thank you to our platinum sponsor,

1181
00:53:55,133 --> 00:53:57,934
first Community Credit Union, our gold sponsor,

1182
00:53:58,100 --> 00:54:00,066
Smith Brothers and our silver sponsors,

1183
00:54:00,066 --> 00:54:01,467
river City Environmental.

1184
00:54:02,433 --> 00:54:06,000
With their help, we were able to add new enhancements

1185
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,100
to the event as a petting zoo balloon animals professional

1186
00:54:09,100 --> 00:54:11,700
photographer with the Easter Bunny.

1187
00:54:12,467 --> 00:54:15,500
And then we got some free items to give away to the kids.

1188
00:54:16,033 --> 00:54:17,467
It also really helped us to

1189
00:54:18,100 --> 00:54:20,033
enhance our sensory friendly area.

1190
00:54:21,033 --> 00:54:23,133
That was a big thing

1191
00:54:23,266 --> 00:54:25,233
that the city had been doing for many years.

1192
00:54:25,266 --> 00:54:27,066
And so it was just a great opportunity

1193
00:54:27,100 --> 00:54:28,233
to enhance that section.

1194
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,834
That was also a great partnership that we collaborated

1195
00:54:31,834 --> 00:54:34,533
with Fairview Elementary and their STEM Pro step program

1196
00:54:35,033 --> 00:54:39,066
and the Oregon Autism Society that helped really shape that.

1197
00:54:41,266 --> 00:54:43,000
A big thank you to all our volunteers

1198
00:54:43,066 --> 00:54:45,333
and vendors that helped make the event what it was.

1199
00:54:46,066 --> 00:54:48,500
A big thank you to the Public Works team.

1200
00:54:48,667 --> 00:54:52,133
Corey, Tyler Christie for helping, and Kevin

1201
00:54:52,367 --> 00:54:54,100
and Garrett for helping for the event as well.

1202
00:54:55,066 --> 00:54:56,734
Also the recreation team.

1203
00:54:57,233 --> 00:54:59,066
And a big shout out to Annie

1204
00:54:59,133 --> 00:55:01,000
who really coordinated this whole event.

1205
00:55:01,133 --> 00:55:05,100
So that, that's it. And I'll end your name. Any questions?

1206
00:55:07,333 --> 00:55:10,000
- I think the only question I have is, remind me,

1207
00:55:10,066 --> 00:55:11,500
I sincerely apologize,

1208
00:55:11,734 --> 00:55:14,000
I should have this date ingrained in my brain.

1209
00:55:14,367 --> 00:55:17,166
When is our fund, when is the place Fundraiser night over

1210
00:55:17,300 --> 00:55:18,367
at Fairview Food Plaza.

1211
00:55:18,700 --> 00:55:20,100
- It's Thursday, May 14th.

1212
00:55:20,266 --> 00:55:23,867
May 14th, starting at 6:00 PM Commu, it's open

1213
00:55:23,900 --> 00:55:27,433
to all community members to come celebrate with plays.

1214
00:55:27,433 --> 00:55:30,300
There'll be food raffle tickets for raffle baskets,

1215
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:32,767
and then some small performances and some videos

1216
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,000
and photos of what place has been able to do throughout

1217
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,000
- The year.

1218
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:39,834
So shameless plug to this council,

1219
00:55:40,266 --> 00:55:41,300
I would love to see us there.

1220
00:55:42,500 --> 00:55:43,867
It's, it, it's a great event.

1221
00:55:45,333 --> 00:55:50,100
Just being absolutely shameless on that. Any questions?

1222
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,934
I, Nope. I think we're good. Awesome. Thank you so much.

1223
00:55:53,934 --> 00:55:57,133
Thank you. That takes us down

1224
00:55:57,066 --> 00:56:00,066
to Dr.

1225
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:03,100
City Manager or do we wanna start with city recording?

1226
00:56:03,266 --> 00:56:07,433
City recorder slash HR slash little bit of everything.

1227
00:56:08,266 --> 00:56:09,934
- So good evening mayor and council.

1228
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:11,734
So I'm gonna start off with it.

1229
00:56:13,066 --> 00:56:15,467
She's been really working hard, learning

1230
00:56:16,300 --> 00:56:18,000
all things 365.

1231
00:56:19,634 --> 00:56:20,900
One of the more exciting things

1232
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:22,467
that came out is there's a program

1233
00:56:22,667 --> 00:56:26,300
that she is entering, I shouldn't say entering.

1234
00:56:26,433 --> 00:56:28,000
Yes, I guess entering is the right word.

1235
00:56:28,133 --> 00:56:31,033
All of our city devices into this program.

1236
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:34,033
And it will allow her to push apps out

1237
00:56:34,266 --> 00:56:36,934
and also retrieve apps

1238
00:56:37,133 --> 00:56:39,567
and give, you know, instead of having everybody have

1239
00:56:39,567 --> 00:56:43,300
to load an app on their phone, she can just blanket do it.

1240
00:56:46,367 --> 00:56:49,533
She's also rolled out multifactor authentication

1241
00:56:49,700 --> 00:56:50,834
for all city staff.

1242
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,100
And I believe counsel, you will be getting emails here soon

1243
00:56:54,500 --> 00:56:56,934
that you will be do set up on the same thing.

1244
00:56:58,667 --> 00:57:02,467
And hr, we're working on preparing for the heat

1245
00:57:02,467 --> 00:57:06,100
and wildfire training for all of our staff to have

1246
00:57:06,533 --> 00:57:08,066
completed by June.

1247
00:57:08,333 --> 00:57:12,934
When the those, those things become prevalent,

1248
00:57:14,467 --> 00:57:17,700
the employee handbook update has gone very well.

1249
00:57:18,033 --> 00:57:20,467
I day, my HR assistant did a great job

1250
00:57:20,634 --> 00:57:23,100
and then I just wrapped up a bunch of edits.

1251
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:27,066
Our handbook was last updated in 2011.

1252
00:57:28,100 --> 00:57:31,000
So this handbook is much more robust

1253
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:36,233
and it's, it's been sent out to all

1254
00:57:36,233 --> 00:57:38,467
of our department directors.

1255
00:57:38,467 --> 00:57:41,533
They may not not know that yet for their review.

1256
00:57:41,567 --> 00:57:44,567
And so hopefully we'll have a final document here in

1257
00:57:44,567 --> 00:57:45,634
the next month or so.

1258
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,767
And we've also been working on getting our elec,

1259
00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:54,333
our HR records, personnel records,

1260
00:57:55,767 --> 00:57:58,033
more into our Tyler software

1261
00:57:59,166 --> 00:58:01,634
and starting to utilize that HR module

1262
00:58:01,900 --> 00:58:04,233
to track certifications, trainings,

1263
00:58:04,533 --> 00:58:07,000
reviews, all of those things.

1264
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,333
So that's all I have tonight, unless you have questions.

1265
00:58:13,533 --> 00:58:15,166
- I don't believe so. That was very thorough.

1266
00:58:15,166 --> 00:58:17,133
Thank you very much. Finance.

1267
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,066
- Good evening mayor.

1268
00:58:20,133 --> 00:58:24,700
And Council Finance is always busy.

1269
00:58:25,767 --> 00:58:29,066
Tricia and I got back last Friday from a conference,

1270
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:33,900
Tyler conference, and we learned a lot

1271
00:58:33,900 --> 00:58:37,767
of stuff about how we're not using our, our software.

1272
00:58:39,166 --> 00:58:41,000
- And here we were thinking we were doing so good.

1273
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:44,934
- They, they, they do updates all the time and,

1274
00:58:45,066 --> 00:58:48,734
and the conferences keep us, you know, updated on,

1275
00:58:48,767 --> 00:58:51,066
on the improvements and stuff that they've been making.

1276
00:58:51,333 --> 00:58:54,300
So we, we both came back with some good ideas on

1277
00:58:54,333 --> 00:58:56,433
how we can continue to streamline things.

1278
00:58:58,533 --> 00:59:01,567
Part of the software is called Content Manager

1279
00:59:02,133 --> 00:59:04,834
and we did not know that we could create forms

1280
00:59:06,533 --> 00:59:08,734
PDF forms and route them.

1281
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:13,000
So employees that need to fill out, say an insurance form,

1282
00:59:13,500 --> 00:59:15,767
we can push that through the software.

1283
00:59:15,867 --> 00:59:18,066
They can digitally fill it out, sign it,

1284
00:59:18,133 --> 00:59:20,834
and then it, once they submit it, it gets routed back

1285
00:59:20,834 --> 00:59:23,700
to the, the appropriate person that needs to deal with it.

1286
00:59:23,834 --> 00:59:28,634
So we're gonna soon start looking at, at doing that as well.

1287
00:59:30,734 --> 00:59:35,634
Next week Tyler is going to be working with Leslie, Shelly,

1288
00:59:35,867 --> 00:59:40,700
and Anna on a utility billing business review to make sure

1289
00:59:40,867 --> 00:59:44,000
that the methods that we're we're using

1290
00:59:44,133 --> 00:59:47,133
to process payments and send out bills

1291
00:59:47,266 --> 00:59:51,100
and stuff are being done the most efficiently

1292
00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:52,500
that we can through the software.

1293
00:59:52,634 --> 00:59:55,567
So they'll, they'll review our processes, they will

1294
00:59:56,867 --> 00:59:59,934
suggest improvements, we can either do 'em or not.

1295
01:00:00,333 --> 01:00:02,066
And then what we end up with

1296
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:05,934
after the end of this review is a document

1297
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,734
that outlines the processes for utility billing,

1298
01:00:08,834 --> 01:00:10,500
which we don't have yet.

1299
01:00:11,333 --> 01:00:15,133
So that will be a, a big accomplishment for utility billing.

1300
01:00:16,533 --> 01:00:19,266
And I have been working on budget.

1301
01:00:19,834 --> 01:00:23,500
I'm hoping to have a preliminary document done

1302
01:00:23,533 --> 01:00:25,934
by the beginning of next week for review.

1303
01:00:27,133 --> 01:00:30,567
We have our first meeting May 4th.

1304
01:00:31,734 --> 01:00:35,166
So may the fourth be with you and budget and all of that.

1305
01:00:36,066 --> 01:00:37,333
- Really. Star Wars Day.

1306
01:00:37,333 --> 01:00:39,133
- Really? It is Star Wars Day. Yes.

1307
01:00:40,033 --> 01:00:42,033
- On how could you not though?

1308
01:00:43,100 --> 01:00:45,266
I guess, guess it's appropriate.

1309
01:00:46,033 --> 01:00:47,166
- It, it is progressing

1310
01:00:47,533 --> 01:00:50,133
and we should have a, a pretty good document this year.

1311
01:00:50,233 --> 01:00:54,033
Hopefully everything balances.

1312
01:00:55,333 --> 01:00:57,433
And then last audit.

1313
01:00:58,100 --> 01:01:01,000
We, we are on schedule to present

1314
01:01:01,467 --> 01:01:04,734
our 2223 audit

1315
01:01:05,133 --> 01:01:08,367
to you on your council meeting on May 6th.

1316
01:01:09,634 --> 01:01:13,367
- Okay. Sounds like May 6th is getting to be real busy.

1317
01:01:14,100 --> 01:01:15,166
Oh, it's, yes.

1318
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:19,133
It, it could be so it's actually the next Wednesday too,

1319
01:01:19,934 --> 01:01:21,133
if we need a third budget committee.

1320
01:01:21,133 --> 01:01:22,500
So we could be seeing a lot

1321
01:01:22,500 --> 01:01:23,700
of each other those first couple weeks.

1322
01:01:23,767 --> 01:01:27,433
Yeah. Does anybody have any questions? Okay.

1323
01:01:27,834 --> 01:01:29,700
First off, it's not a question, it's a thank you.

1324
01:01:34,033 --> 01:01:37,033
I I it, it is hard to explain to people Yeah.

1325
01:01:37,033 --> 01:01:38,767
We are five years behind on our audits.

1326
01:01:38,767 --> 01:01:40,133
That that's, that's embarrassing.

1327
01:01:41,300 --> 01:01:45,000
Three audits in a year is impressive. Yeah.

1328
01:01:45,700 --> 01:01:48,300
And, and I myself wanna thank you

1329
01:01:48,567 --> 01:01:51,533
and your team for accomplishing that

1330
01:01:52,133 --> 01:01:53,834
while preparing this year's budget.

1331
01:01:54,133 --> 01:01:55,133
Right.

1332
01:01:56,367 --> 01:01:58,500
- I'm very thankful I have Leslie because talk

1333
01:01:58,500 --> 01:02:00,100
- About spinning plates. Yeah.

1334
01:02:00,934 --> 01:02:03,066
- She can handle a lot of the audit issues while

1335
01:02:03,100 --> 01:02:04,867
I'm working on budgets. Well,

1336
01:02:04,867 --> 01:02:06,500
- I, it, - It takes a little off.

1337
01:02:06,700 --> 01:02:09,467
- Yes. It's appreciated. Well, thank you. Yeah.

1338
01:02:10,734 --> 01:02:15,333
I know that you walked into a buzz saw and you've been

1339
01:02:15,634 --> 01:02:16,700
- By choice. Yeah.

1340
01:02:17,100 --> 01:02:20,734
- It's not like she was less your Yeah, I'm just saying it.

1341
01:02:21,133 --> 01:02:26,066
But no, thank you. I I, I, I believe I speak for all of us.

1342
01:02:26,066 --> 01:02:27,533
Thank you. Yes, he does try.

1343
01:02:27,567 --> 01:02:28,634
Well, this, we're working as hard

1344
01:02:28,634 --> 01:02:29,767
as you are to get us back on track.

1345
01:02:30,133 --> 01:02:32,000
- This last year truly has been,

1346
01:02:35,467 --> 01:02:39,166
I wanna say a joy working with, well, you've an

1347
01:02:39,333 --> 01:02:41,367
- Interesting definition of the word joy,

1348
01:02:42,266 --> 01:02:45,700
- But, but I, it is been a real pleasure having,

1349
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,166
having counsel, having you to work with, you're very easy

1350
01:02:50,300 --> 01:02:51,567
to work with and,

1351
01:02:51,934 --> 01:02:55,900
and I do appreciate that it makes what I have to do,

1352
01:02:56,100 --> 01:02:57,133
especially being

1353
01:02:57,133 --> 01:02:59,333
behind in the audits and stuff, much easier.

1354
01:02:59,867 --> 01:03:02,700
- Well, just, I, I, I just wanna make sure

1355
01:03:02,700 --> 01:03:05,166
that your efforts are not unrecognized.

1356
01:03:05,333 --> 01:03:09,100
So thank you. They are senior manager.

1357
01:03:10,033 --> 01:03:12,000
- Thank you, mayor. I got a few things to go over.

1358
01:03:12,066 --> 01:03:15,467
I'll try, try to be brief. Just a quick update.

1359
01:03:15,533 --> 01:03:18,433
Our comprehensive compensation study was finalized.

1360
01:03:19,133 --> 01:03:21,500
I sent it out to you. If you have questions, come talk

1361
01:03:21,500 --> 01:03:23,734
to me in a really basic overview.

1362
01:03:24,834 --> 01:03:27,867
It was, this was a comparison of cities

1363
01:03:27,934 --> 01:03:30,867
that were roughly no more than 50% below our population.

1364
01:03:30,867 --> 01:03:32,000
No more than 50% above.

1365
01:03:32,533 --> 01:03:34,500
So I think the smallest one was capo,

1366
01:03:34,567 --> 01:03:36,900
and the greatest one I think was probably Troutdale.

1367
01:03:37,066 --> 01:03:38,133
Somewhere along there.

1368
01:03:38,433 --> 01:03:40,100
These were cities specifically chosen

1369
01:03:40,133 --> 01:03:43,367
for their geographic location, chosen for their services.

1370
01:03:43,367 --> 01:03:46,133
They offer comparable ours as possible,

1371
01:03:46,467 --> 01:03:48,700
as closely possible as, as you can get.

1372
01:03:49,033 --> 01:03:51,233
Again, Oregon's only 4 million people don't have a lot

1373
01:03:51,233 --> 01:03:54,700
of cities, and especially not our, specifically our size.

1374
01:03:55,700 --> 01:04:00,367
The came back financially we're a good place

1375
01:04:00,367 --> 01:04:01,734
because Ann had budgeted

1376
01:04:02,333 --> 01:04:05,467
and a little bit more than we thought we would get in the,

1377
01:04:06,367 --> 01:04:07,667
the cost of living increase.

1378
01:04:07,667 --> 01:04:09,066
And she had budgeted for 3%.

1379
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:10,133
We're actually, it's gonna be two

1380
01:04:10,133 --> 01:04:11,033
and a half percent this year.

1381
01:04:11,734 --> 01:04:14,000
So with that, we really didn't go much over

1382
01:04:14,367 --> 01:04:16,100
with our retro pay and everything.

1383
01:04:16,066 --> 01:04:19,867
So the, the way it works really generally is everyone,

1384
01:04:19,867 --> 01:04:21,900
then all the positions are put into a market

1385
01:04:22,033 --> 01:04:23,500
rate within those cities.

1386
01:04:23,634 --> 01:04:26,000
And something I, I talk to staff about a reminder

1387
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,233
that our market is not comparing with Gresham and Portland.

1388
01:04:30,066 --> 01:04:32,133
You know, our market is with those cities.

1389
01:04:32,233 --> 01:04:33,500
And so that's, that's our market.

1390
01:04:33,767 --> 01:04:38,133
So all the, nobody got, you can't legally drop people below,

1391
01:04:38,233 --> 01:04:40,266
but some, some people, some positions

1392
01:04:41,100 --> 01:04:42,634
were a little bit higher than other positions,

1393
01:04:42,634 --> 01:04:44,233
but everything is now within a range

1394
01:04:44,634 --> 01:04:46,100
where they can have progression

1395
01:04:46,066 --> 01:04:47,467
and they can continue their steps.

1396
01:04:48,033 --> 01:04:50,100
So that's, that's the basic overall.

1397
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,233
And I have the, our union president's gonna meet

1398
01:04:53,233 --> 01:04:54,367
with me later this week to,

1399
01:04:54,700 --> 01:04:56,000
to go over that and she some questions.

1400
01:04:56,066 --> 01:04:58,000
And so looking forward to that.

1401
01:04:59,500 --> 01:05:02,367
We have a good, we have just quickly our,

1402
01:05:03,133 --> 01:05:06,734
our leadership team that worked with the Union Dere and Ann

1403
01:05:06,734 --> 01:05:07,900
and I have really worked hard

1404
01:05:07,900 --> 01:05:09,734
to build a good rapport and it's gone really well.

1405
01:05:09,934 --> 01:05:12,634
So homeless services update.

1406
01:05:12,634 --> 01:05:13,934
Just really quickly, I went

1407
01:05:13,934 --> 01:05:16,900
and spent some time about an hour downtown just today

1408
01:05:16,934 --> 01:05:19,700
with the director of our department of homeless services

1409
01:05:19,734 --> 01:05:22,467
with the county and trying to get a better understanding of

1410
01:05:22,467 --> 01:05:25,700
how it works here and what they, what they provide for us.

1411
01:05:25,734 --> 01:05:29,033
And so she's very receptive conversation.

1412
01:05:29,233 --> 01:05:31,300
You know, I'm, I'm looking for of course money

1413
01:05:31,367 --> 01:05:33,533
and what can we do and so forth.

1414
01:05:33,734 --> 01:05:35,100
And they have a contracted service.

1415
01:05:35,066 --> 01:05:36,567
I don't know if you know much about it,

1416
01:05:36,567 --> 01:05:40,066
but the way it works is that the county provides funding

1417
01:05:40,266 --> 01:05:42,634
or services for all parts of the county.

1418
01:05:43,333 --> 01:05:44,867
We are area three

1419
01:05:44,867 --> 01:05:46,634
or something, which is the three small cities,

1420
01:05:47,066 --> 01:05:48,300
Dalewood Village, Fairview.

1421
01:05:48,867 --> 01:05:50,033
And we receive funding

1422
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:54,133
and all that funding goes to a third party vendor who works

1423
01:05:54,166 --> 01:05:56,767
with help homeless people experiencing

1424
01:05:56,767 --> 01:05:58,033
homelessness have services.

1425
01:05:58,734 --> 01:06:01,300
So it does not include enforcement, it does not include

1426
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,000
cleaning up of any camps or anything.

1427
01:06:04,100 --> 01:06:06,100
So that's what I was learning more about.

1428
01:06:06,100 --> 01:06:08,767
And you know, I'm always trying to, trying to influence

1429
01:06:08,834 --> 01:06:11,033
and doing things a little bit more that we can.

1430
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:12,233
So I'll be working with her.

1431
01:06:12,333 --> 01:06:14,133
And so I have a good relationship with her.

1432
01:06:15,667 --> 01:06:19,934
Also wanted to give a quick update on the Village Street,

1433
01:06:20,233 --> 01:06:23,000
not Village Street, but the sidewalks, just to let you know,

1434
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,100
there were a lot of, if you remember, there was a RFP

1435
01:06:26,100 --> 01:06:27,867
that was done here just before Silas came.

1436
01:06:27,867 --> 01:06:30,266
And that was to go out and repair all the little

1437
01:06:30,266 --> 01:06:31,700
areas in our parks.

1438
01:06:32,066 --> 01:06:34,533
They have sidewalks, they have multipass, they have issues

1439
01:06:35,333 --> 01:06:38,000
so that there are some sidewalks in the village,

1440
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:39,634
those are sidewalks in front of the parks.

1441
01:06:39,634 --> 01:06:42,033
Those weren't, so those were actually our responsibility

1442
01:06:42,033 --> 01:06:43,033
just to, just to clarify.

1443
01:06:44,433 --> 01:06:47,834
And one the county, county

1444
01:06:49,033 --> 01:06:50,834
roads and maintenance.

1445
01:06:51,433 --> 01:06:54,667
And since I came here, since I already first met

1446
01:06:54,667 --> 01:06:58,033
with his body, I have been working on the county roads.

1447
01:06:58,033 --> 01:06:59,767
And so I feel like we're getting closer

1448
01:07:00,133 --> 01:07:02,634
and I wanna thank Councilor O who gives me lots

1449
01:07:02,634 --> 01:07:04,834
of updates on things that need to be taken care of.

1450
01:07:04,900 --> 01:07:06,033
I really appreciate that because

1451
01:07:06,033 --> 01:07:07,100
we actually had a meeting today.

1452
01:07:07,100 --> 01:07:09,867
There's a monthly meeting, which I have joined now

1453
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:11,266
with our PolyWorks director,

1454
01:07:11,867 --> 01:07:14,033
with our community development director and our operations

1455
01:07:14,033 --> 01:07:17,567
and manager talking about overall strategies, you know,

1456
01:07:17,567 --> 01:07:19,500
things we're working on accounting, but also maintenance.

1457
01:07:19,500 --> 01:07:21,033
And I made sure all those things

1458
01:07:21,033 --> 01:07:22,133
that counselor are only given me

1459
01:07:22,133 --> 01:07:23,767
and many others were on that list of maintenance.

1460
01:07:23,767 --> 01:07:25,166
So been working really hard.

1461
01:07:25,734 --> 01:07:27,300
I think I reported a while ago, I went

1462
01:07:27,300 --> 01:07:30,033
and met with the director of community services

1463
01:07:30,100 --> 01:07:32,133
for the county that oversees all of our roads and systems

1464
01:07:32,367 --> 01:07:33,634
and working with her.

1465
01:07:33,734 --> 01:07:36,634
I've met a couple times with Commissioner Jones Dixon on

1466
01:07:37,066 --> 01:07:40,066
what can we do to really help our, our maintenance of our,

1467
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,333
you know, the different areas of our city that res

1468
01:07:42,333 --> 01:07:43,433
that belong to the county.

1469
01:07:43,867 --> 01:07:46,834
How can we get those moving and getting those things done?

1470
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:48,533
So we have on the list now everything,

1471
01:07:48,533 --> 01:07:49,567
and we're working really hard

1472
01:07:49,567 --> 01:07:52,100
and I've asked them, I want expectation dates,

1473
01:07:52,133 --> 01:07:53,166
so when these things will be filled,

1474
01:07:53,300 --> 01:07:54,500
so we can take a look at that.

1475
01:07:54,667 --> 01:07:56,033
So we're working hard

1476
01:07:56,033 --> 01:07:57,867
to get like actual deadlines when

1477
01:07:57,867 --> 01:07:58,900
these things will be taken care of.

1478
01:07:58,934 --> 01:08:02,066
And so I just want you to know that I'm very professionally

1479
01:08:02,066 --> 01:08:04,100
and working with them, trying to move these things along.

1480
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,667
Very lastly, I want to give a quick update on the fire

1481
01:08:08,133 --> 01:08:09,100
district discussions.

1482
01:08:10,333 --> 01:08:13,066
Where we're at right now is we're waiting for two more.

1483
01:08:14,166 --> 01:08:17,033
Our representatives are also our mayor and Councillor Weber.

1484
01:08:17,033 --> 01:08:19,300
And they can give you updates as well if you,

1485
01:08:19,367 --> 01:08:20,533
if you so desire.

1486
01:08:20,634 --> 01:08:22,567
But we are working with the committee

1487
01:08:22,700 --> 01:08:24,767
to get more information and proposals.

1488
01:08:25,133 --> 01:08:27,634
Right now we're waiting for proposal from Fire District 10

1489
01:08:27,667 --> 01:08:30,066
and a proposal from Clacks Fire District,

1490
01:08:30,300 --> 01:08:31,767
fire District 10 was supposed

1491
01:08:31,767 --> 01:08:33,533
to have given us a proposal this month.

1492
01:08:34,033 --> 01:08:36,367
Fire District 10 was again, not prepared.

1493
01:08:36,367 --> 01:08:38,066
And I will say again, because they were supposed

1494
01:08:38,066 --> 01:08:41,033
to give us a proposal a year ago when the city managers met

1495
01:08:41,033 --> 01:08:42,867
and they didn't give us a proposal.

1496
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:44,266
It was just a discussion.

1497
01:08:45,500 --> 01:08:47,834
Ackmans came in with an amazing proposal back at that time.

1498
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,700
The Gresham City of Gresham has given us a proposal.

1499
01:08:53,033 --> 01:08:54,634
We have two more proposals to go.

1500
01:08:55,133 --> 01:08:57,100
Once we have those proposals, we'll be moving forward.

1501
01:08:57,433 --> 01:09:00,066
I'm not sure exactly the direction of the committee,

1502
01:09:00,066 --> 01:09:02,000
but at some point it'll be coming back to the councils.

1503
01:09:02,467 --> 01:09:05,266
There may be a good time for the three councils meeting,

1504
01:09:05,266 --> 01:09:07,467
the three cities to meet again and discuss where they're at.

1505
01:09:08,100 --> 01:09:09,634
I think those, some things have been expressed

1506
01:09:09,634 --> 01:09:12,367
by especially our representatives, councilor Webley Council

1507
01:09:12,467 --> 01:09:14,033
and Mayor Una.

1508
01:09:14,433 --> 01:09:16,367
So that's where we're at. I dunno if anybody has any

1509
01:09:16,533 --> 01:09:20,066
questions on that, but we are working forward a lot

1510
01:09:20,066 --> 01:09:22,734
of discussion about service levels, about design

1511
01:09:22,734 --> 01:09:23,767
of fire stations.

1512
01:09:23,934 --> 01:09:26,467
We're so there, there's a lot to discuss.

1513
01:09:26,634 --> 01:09:28,767
So that is all the updates I have tonight,

1514
01:09:28,767 --> 01:09:30,033
unless I has any questions.

1515
01:09:30,033 --> 01:09:31,133
You already heard a lot about me

1516
01:09:31,133 --> 01:09:32,266
from me in the work session,

1517
01:09:32,467 --> 01:09:34,533
- So any questions?

1518
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:39,367
Nope. Excellent. Thank you so much. Thank you.

1519
01:09:39,700 --> 01:09:41,367
Well, it is April, so we are gonna start at

1520
01:09:41,367 --> 01:09:44,533
that end with which end?

1521
01:09:45,033 --> 01:09:48,634
This end. Oh, that end. Okay. Even or odd. Even odd even.

1522
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,033
That's how I'm trying to break it down. Okay. Okay.

1523
01:09:51,066 --> 01:09:53,033
So it's an even month, January from our March,

1524
01:09:53,100 --> 01:09:54,634
April we started that end.

1525
01:09:54,934 --> 01:09:56,700
Okay. I may have screwed it up last month.

1526
01:09:56,700 --> 01:09:58,000
And that would be on, I think we should do colors

1527
01:09:58,033 --> 01:09:59,533
and numbers and

1528
01:10:01,033 --> 01:10:02,100
- I don't have anything further

1529
01:10:02,166 --> 01:10:04,700
to report on the fire district

1530
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:06,000
- Conversation.

1531
01:10:07,300 --> 01:10:08,934
- We started at the odd end. Is

1532
01:10:08,934 --> 01:10:10,433
- That what you We did, we started the audit.

1533
01:10:10,867 --> 01:10:12,000
Oh. Start with, do you want print?

1534
01:10:13,033 --> 01:10:16,133
Oh, that's okay.

1535
01:10:16,634 --> 01:10:19,700
- A simple pointing - Or calling. I thought I did.

1536
01:10:20,133 --> 01:10:22,033
I thought I did. And, and was in the process of it is

1537
01:10:22,634 --> 01:10:24,000
it's on's on me.

1538
01:10:24,033 --> 01:10:25,767
I missed it. It's on me. That's on me.

1539
01:10:26,133 --> 01:10:28,000
- I made it about me and - Councilor Johnson.

1540
01:10:29,367 --> 01:10:33,100
- I don't have anything like cogent or pressing to update.

1541
01:10:33,100 --> 01:10:36,700
The transportation committees are envisioning

1542
01:10:36,700 --> 01:10:37,867
processes at this point.

1543
01:10:37,900 --> 01:10:39,033
And there all the other projects

1544
01:10:39,033 --> 01:10:41,934
that you know about are proceeding.

1545
01:10:44,567 --> 01:10:47,166
- Agreed. Council Copeland,

1546
01:10:47,700 --> 01:10:51,367
any updates? No.

1547
01:10:51,700 --> 01:10:54,533
- PSAC has not met - Since our last council meeting. Okay.

1548
01:10:54,867 --> 01:10:57,033
- We decided to skip this month.

1549
01:10:57,467 --> 01:10:59,667
We are still in the process of discussing

1550
01:11:00,333 --> 01:11:01,533
frequency of meetings.

1551
01:11:02,233 --> 01:11:05,767
- Okay. Excellent. Council president, when is the

01:11:05,767 --> 01:11:06,767

01:11:14,433 --> 01:11:16,033

1557
01:11:16,033 --> 01:11:17,033
- City Hall.

1558
01:11:17,033 --> 01:11:17,734
Thank you, Deborah. Thank you.

1559
01:11:19,133 --> 01:11:20,700
- Okay, council president,

1560
01:11:21,266 --> 01:11:24,033
- I'd like to yield my time to Councilor Weber this evening.

1561
01:11:28,033 --> 01:11:29,500
- Living Awesome. I love it.

1562
01:11:34,166 --> 01:11:35,367
Councilman, I'm sorry.

1563
01:11:36,533 --> 01:11:40,066
- Where to start? No, I, I really have nothing.

1564
01:11:40,333 --> 01:11:43,467
Mounted comm cable Regulatory Commission is slowly dying

1565
01:11:43,634 --> 01:11:45,500
and will be dead by the end of June.

1566
01:11:46,834 --> 01:11:49,000
And everybody knows my opinions on everything else.

1567
01:11:49,266 --> 01:11:52,100
So I would actually like to request

1568
01:11:52,133 --> 01:11:57,100
that we put the budget committee membership

1569
01:11:58,467 --> 01:12:01,033
for possible action on the first meeting in

1570
01:12:01,033 --> 01:12:04,433
June, if possible.

1571
01:12:05,033 --> 01:12:06,100
- I'm sorry, what was that? I - Was reading.

1572
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:09,567
I would like to discuss the kerfuffle

1573
01:12:10,133 --> 01:12:11,133
- Oh yeah.

1574
01:12:11,133 --> 01:12:14,300
- Of what has happened. And I don't play.

1575
01:12:14,433 --> 01:12:16,033
I'm, I'm, I'm a political idiot.

1576
01:12:16,734 --> 01:12:19,266
I just like to get I'm sorry. Stuff done.

1577
01:12:21,667 --> 01:12:23,567
And, and I don't like what happened.

1578
01:12:24,767 --> 01:12:26,367
I don't like that there was an intent,

1579
01:12:26,500 --> 01:12:31,233
but we're gonna tap dance because Yeah, This was the intent.

1580
01:12:31,233 --> 01:12:33,333
And it's no secret my feelings about the gentleman

1581
01:12:33,333 --> 01:12:35,533
who was sitting there while we were sitting here the hour

1582
01:12:35,533 --> 01:12:36,767
before and he was still sitting there.

1583
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,133
We were dealing with the aftermath of his crap.

1584
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:41,834
And that's why I don't want him on budget.

1585
01:12:43,433 --> 01:12:46,567
I, I, I've said this before, I've said it again.

1586
01:12:47,500 --> 01:12:51,000
That's my feeling. So I didn't like what happened.

1587
01:12:51,700 --> 01:12:53,700
We had an intent. You said you were gonna resign.

1588
01:12:53,700 --> 01:12:54,934
You said you were gonna resign twice

1589
01:12:55,934 --> 01:12:58,100
and then you go, oh, I'm miraculously better.

1590
01:12:58,033 --> 01:13:00,700
I wanna stay. Okay.

1591
01:13:00,867 --> 01:13:03,700
That doesn't excuse you from the lack of SDCs,

1592
01:13:03,867 --> 01:13:06,066
the police department, the fire contracts,

1593
01:13:06,533 --> 01:13:10,467
I forgetting things in there that we're having to deal

1594
01:13:10,467 --> 01:13:11,667
with now fiscally.

1595
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:13,934
So I don't feel like rewarding people

1596
01:13:14,066 --> 01:13:15,033
for their ill behaviors.

1597
01:13:15,734 --> 01:13:18,100
But I also know that, you know what, I don't wanna sit here

1598
01:13:18,100 --> 01:13:19,000
and discuss it for the rest of the night.

1599
01:13:19,066 --> 01:13:22,667
So I would like to discuss it the 1st of June. I

1600
01:13:23,166 --> 01:13:25,367
- Okay, council, what?

1601
01:13:26,500 --> 01:13:27,567
Nothing more to report.

1602
01:13:29,734 --> 01:13:31,667
- I'm sorry. I should have yielded my time to you. But

1603
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:34,533
- From my previous report five minutes ago.

1604
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,133
- Okay. As for me,

1605
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,266
these sort event was fantastic.

1606
01:13:40,433 --> 01:13:43,100
The weather could not have been better.

1607
01:13:44,166 --> 01:13:46,100
It was just fan phenomenally warm.

1608
01:13:46,133 --> 01:13:49,033
We, I, I'd, I'd hesitate to put numbers on it,

1609
01:13:49,133 --> 01:13:52,367
but in the world's shortest parade,

1610
01:13:53,133 --> 01:13:57,533
which started barely on the north side of this building,

1611
01:13:57,900 --> 01:14:00,266
went down to the street and went around the corner

1612
01:14:00,367 --> 01:14:01,900
for about a hundred feet.

1613
01:14:02,867 --> 01:14:05,367
So shortest parade known to mankind

1614
01:14:07,667 --> 01:14:10,066
yet kids line up on every side,

1615
01:14:10,066 --> 01:14:13,266
on both sides, just having a ball.

1616
01:14:13,734 --> 01:14:16,567
And, and it, it was really fun to see the faces.

1617
01:14:16,900 --> 01:14:18,333
It's fun to see kids having fun.

1618
01:14:19,033 --> 01:14:20,767
I want to commend our rec department for putting,

1619
01:14:21,033 --> 01:14:23,000
for putting together a fantastic program.

1620
01:14:24,367 --> 01:14:28,367
It, it was a lot of fun in regards to,

1621
01:14:29,066 --> 01:14:31,867
it's funny that you mentioned the county and Rhodes.

1622
01:14:32,333 --> 01:14:34,367
We are coming up on election season

1623
01:14:34,500 --> 01:14:36,767
and there is already a push for the next

1624
01:14:37,333 --> 01:14:38,367
Mullum county chair.

1625
01:14:38,934 --> 01:14:41,867
So I had been reached out by one person, one candidate

1626
01:14:41,867 --> 01:14:45,700
that is, that is running for chair.

1627
01:14:46,367 --> 01:14:49,767
We did have quite the lengthy discussion about needs

1628
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,033
and that actually I brought that up.

1629
01:14:52,100 --> 01:14:54,700
Like, you guys have the money, but not the personnel.

1630
01:14:55,333 --> 01:14:57,300
We can get the personnel. We don't have the money.

1631
01:14:58,033 --> 01:15:00,100
Let's peanut butter and chocolate this thing together.

1632
01:15:00,233 --> 01:15:03,033
Let's make it happen. I think we can help us.

1633
01:15:03,066 --> 01:15:05,467
I think we can help each other out in this, in this case.

1634
01:15:05,667 --> 01:15:07,767
So trying to do that end and,

1635
01:15:07,834 --> 01:15:09,500
and also I think mentioning it,

1636
01:15:09,700 --> 01:15:13,367
every time I see Commissioner Jones Dixon, which is

1637
01:15:14,033 --> 01:15:17,000
every time, Hey can we, can we start taking over?

1638
01:15:17,166 --> 01:15:18,233
Can, if you, if you pay

1639
01:15:18,233 --> 01:15:19,467
for it, we'll take care of the roads.

1640
01:15:19,500 --> 01:15:23,934
We'll take it off your plate. I I'm going to be a pest on

1641
01:15:23,934 --> 01:15:26,066
that one at every, at every moment.

1642
01:15:26,834 --> 01:15:30,133
And again, I'm gonna promote fundraiser. May, May 14th.

1643
01:15:30,567 --> 01:15:34,367
I'll do it again next month. It's a great event.

1644
01:15:34,900 --> 01:15:38,100
And you get dinner. Yeah. From the food trucks. Yeah.

1645
01:15:38,834 --> 01:15:42,000
If you raffle basket, wet raffle baskets are gonna be fun.

1646
01:15:43,066 --> 01:15:44,100
If you've ever been to that

1647
01:15:44,166 --> 01:15:48,233
or a volunteer appreciation event, you don't go home hungry.

1648
01:15:49,033 --> 01:15:53,100
So just putting that out there, it's,

1649
01:15:53,133 --> 01:15:54,066
it's a fantastic deal.

1650
01:15:54,500 --> 01:15:56,066
So that's all I have at this point.

1651
01:15:56,066 --> 01:15:59,033
Unfortunately I was not able to meet go to last Eco fist,

1652
01:15:59,634 --> 01:16:01,266
but I will be at the next one.

1653
01:16:02,066 --> 01:16:06,100
Looking forward to seeing if Ackman Fire District one does

1654
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:07,867
come with a presentation on what that looks like.

1655
01:16:08,700 --> 01:16:10,934
By that point, hopefully they will have

1656
01:16:11,467 --> 01:16:13,834
a fairly good handle on what's happening

1657
01:16:14,066 --> 01:16:15,266
with their May elections.

1658
01:16:15,333 --> 01:16:18,367
So that's gonna have a heavy impact on what they do with us.

1659
01:16:19,867 --> 01:16:22,367
So we'll see what, we'll see what the may,

1660
01:16:22,867 --> 01:16:24,100
what the May election bring.

1661
01:16:26,133 --> 01:16:27,033
That's all I have.

1662
01:16:27,033 --> 01:16:28,834
Do we have any citizens wishing

1663
01:16:28,834 --> 01:16:30,100
to comment on non agenda items?

1664
01:16:30,867 --> 01:16:34,300
No request. We received no request for received. Okay.

1665
01:16:34,333 --> 01:16:37,100
Well there's only one more there. One more.

1666
01:16:37,100 --> 01:16:39,500
Motion entertain. You guys can arm wrestle.

1667
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:42,567
- Motion to dismiss - To adjourn.

1668
01:16:42,867 --> 01:16:47,033
- Adjourn. Sorry. - Motion to get outta here. Second.

1669
01:16:48,066 --> 01:16:51,467
I heard council Todd on that one. I'm gonna break the tie.

1670
01:16:52,100 --> 01:16:56,033
All favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? It passes.

1671
01:16:56,700 --> 01:16:58,467
Thanks guys. We are done.
