1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,319
Association it was going to be an

2
00:00:01,319 --> 00:00:04,100
increase garbage contracts are typically

3
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:06,779
organized for four to five years to help

4
00:00:06,779 --> 00:00:08,639
but we have had a really good rate for a

5
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:11,099
long year a long time our current rate

6
00:00:11,099 --> 00:00:12,599
as you can see up on the slide is

7
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:14,340
fourteen dollars and eight cents per

8
00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:16,619
customer that is what the customers have

9
00:00:16,619 --> 00:00:21,000
been charged even after the new rate was

10
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,039
approved in the contract we did not pass

11
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:24,660
that on to that we are considering

12
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:28,920
tonight our inks dollars and 90 cents

13
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,800
so you have two options there

14
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,219
in comparison like I said garbage has

15
00:00:35,219 --> 00:00:37,860
escalated everywhere and has escalated

16
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:41,280
at a high rate on the dollars and 95

17
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,340
cents Hammond's new rate which is two

18
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:49,579
times a week service would be 20.48 or

19
00:00:49,579 --> 00:00:52,079
20.98 on the side of the house and

20
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:54,320
rolled back in for

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,379
22.70 Jefferson Parish has two times a

22
00:00:58,379 --> 00:01:00,980
week service for a cost of

23
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:04,680
23.90 Bossier City has once a week

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,960
service for a cost of twenty four

25
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,420
dollars New Orleans has once a week

26
00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:11,520
service for a cost of twenty four

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,640
dollars Ascension and Livingston Parish

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,840
have once a week service for a cost of

29
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,640
24.95

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,040
Lafayette has one time a week plus they

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,500
have curbside recycling one highest in

32
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:27,240
our region at two times a week

33
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,360
collection plus curbside recycling at

34
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,500
35.23 three cents it is my understanding

35
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,479
those last two communities have been

36
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:38,159
able to maintain their curbside

37
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,320
recycling one because they have passed

38
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:43,439
that cost on to customers but also

39
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:44,960
because they have dedicated

40
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:47,880
manufacturing recycling facilities in a

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,180
nearby location to them that accept

42
00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:54,659
multiple types of recycled material

43
00:01:54,659 --> 00:01:56,640
some of our changes that we have had

44
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,700
with the recycling at 190 we still do

45
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:01,979
single stream which means that customers

46
00:02:01,979 --> 00:02:04,979
can bring you an entire container of

47
00:02:04,979 --> 00:02:07,680
plastics and cardboard and cereal boxes

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,380
and Soup cans as long as they're washed

49
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,480
out cleaned ready to go

50
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,940
some of our challenges have been when

51
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:17,459
customers come perhaps with bags that

52
00:02:17,459 --> 00:02:19,980
you can't see through or with they come

53
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:22,620
with things that may be a plastic that

54
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:29,340
all of a sudden one week was recyclable and then the next time is not

55
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:31,260
able to be recycled

56
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:33,900
so the manufacturing facilities that are

57
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:36,720
receiving the recycled materials have

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,760
changed kind of what they recycle at

59
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,860
different times of the years as they try

60
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,500
to meet their markets and their costs

61
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:44,540
prohibit

62
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:47,879
their cost prohibitions so

63
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:51,300
the recycling Market as a whole is a

64
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:53,580
very ever-changing Market it is a

65
00:02:53,580 --> 00:02:56,640
difficult Market to work in the cost

66
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,700
escalations there ever since really four

67
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:02,580
years ago when this hold started was

68
00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:04,680
because China stopped accepting the

69
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,160
United States recycled materials and so

70
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,440
the threshold became okay United States

71
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,580
you're going to have to take care of

72
00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:13,860
your own Recycling and we didn't have

73
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,319
the capacity in the major facilities

74
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,239
across the country to even begin

75
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:19,860
undertaking that

76
00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:22,560
so it has become a much more higher bar

77
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,220
of cleanliness of no more pizza boxes

78
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:29,340
with any sort of Grease no more you know

79
00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:31,080
soup can that kind of got only half

80
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,599
washed everything has to be entirely

81
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:36,959
washed and then marketable for those

82
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:38,700
places

83
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:40,879
so with that said the council has

84
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:44,220
several decisions to make one do we pass

85
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:47,099
on the the total rate increase to the

86
00:03:47,099 --> 00:03:50,400
customers I was asked to look into that

87
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,260
and see if there are other communities

88
00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:54,780
is there anything that prohibits us from

89
00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:57,060
subsidizing trash because I know on

90
00:03:57,060 --> 00:03:59,040
social media and other places customers

91
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,780
have asked why can't you just pay for

92
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:02,420
the the trash

93
00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:05,760
we do not have an ordinance from the

94
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,260
quick research that we have done we do

95
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:09,000
not have an ordinance that prohibits

96
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,060
that but in best practices I did reach

97
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:13,439
out to the Louisiana Municipal

98
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:15,540
Association they say that when you

99
00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:17,459
charge rates for services such as

100
00:04:17,459 --> 00:04:19,799
garbage Water and Sewer that you want

101
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:24,240
those rates to handle the service that

102
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,639
way your tax dollars can go to other

103
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:28,680
investments in the community such as

104
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,139
infrastructure that's much harder to

105
00:04:31,139 --> 00:04:33,960
realize on a on a resident you know per

106
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,199
cost per resident basis you don't

107
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:39,300
necessarily charge a fee every time we

108
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:41,400
do a street Improvement or we do a park

109
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,500
Improvement we don't just add a new fee

110
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:46,139
to a customer or a resident for those

111
00:04:46,139 --> 00:04:49,620
kinds of big projects so it's it's just

112
00:04:49,620 --> 00:04:51,540
a matter of where you invest your

113
00:04:51,540 --> 00:04:53,759
dollars and and how you choose to invest

114
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:55,800
those dollars in the community

115
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,680
with the budget that we introduced to

116
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,240
you and with the budget that we had the work session on it does plan for

117
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,460
this rate increase it plans for that

118
00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:07,860
additional Revenue to come into the city

119
00:05:07,860 --> 00:05:11,160
paid by the residents so if we were to

120
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,740
choose a different path we would need to

121
00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:16,740
revise the budget and we would need to

122
00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:18,900
probably look at capital projects and

123
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,820
figure out which ones of those we might

124
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,699
need to shift to another fiscal year in

125
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:27,300
order to cover that that the less amount

126
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:29,400
of Revenue that would be received

127
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,919
so right now the revenue is projected on

128
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:34,199
this rate being covered by the customers

129
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:37,080
and then on the expenditure you know

130
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,479
just being a wash through the budget

131
00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:41,340
so if there are questions I'm happy to

132
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:44,460
answer those or comments from the public

133
00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:46,860
do you have an amount for

134
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:49,620
um the the in if the city paid for it it

135
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:51,840
would need to be in the new budget right

136
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,720
if the city covered the increase of the

137
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,220
cost you're probably looking at around

138
00:05:56,220 --> 00:05:59,639
400 to 500 000 depending on which month

139
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:01,500
and how many customers we had for that

140
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:03,300
month that would be for the whole year

141
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:05,400
though so that's a that's a Year's worth

142
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,870
of the cost increase

143
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,680
how you doing Miss spicy I'm good how

144
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960
are you okay look as of right now so

145
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,580
it's four hundred thousand dollars that

146
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:19,080
the city will that the city would have

147
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,580
to pay from

148
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:23,580
today on to the end of the year right to

149
00:06:23,580 --> 00:06:26,880
the end of the year yes sir and that's a rough estimate because of

150
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,380
course it would be based on per customer

151
00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:31,560
per month okay so look give me a rough

152
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,919
estimate on how much the city didn't pay

153
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:38,699
on this uh contract so far since the day

154
00:06:38,699 --> 00:06:41,100
it was signed all the way up to the day

155
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:42,780
I would have to go back and look at

156
00:06:42,780 --> 00:06:44,639
exactly what date that was

157
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:46,319
but I can certainly get that information

158
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,900
for you it was it August was it August

159
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:50,880
or I think it was after that I want to

160
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,680
say it was like October maybe or

161
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,490
November that we switched

162
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:10,430
okay

163
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,280
and something else I noticed uh

164
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,740
normally when we comparing

165
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:20,039
cities and we comparing areas

166
00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:22,979
what's the rate Ponchatoula pay for

167
00:07:22,979 --> 00:07:27,529
their garbage right now

168
00:07:27,539 --> 00:07:30,409
dollars

169
00:07:30,419 --> 00:07:31,979
okay

170
00:07:31,979 --> 00:07:34,440
what's the rate a meat pan for their

171
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,780
garbage I do not have that rate

172
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:42,720
okay because what I what I'm looking at all these here

173
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,060
different areas

174
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:47,580
but I was looking for the areas right

175
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:50,160
around us where the service that we had

176
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,500
at first is still being used

177
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:54,720
through those areas and normally when we

178
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,759
make decisions we kind of make decisions

179
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:01,199
on what punchatula do uh what the parish

180
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:04,620
do and from what the knowledge that I

181
00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:07,020
have the parish in Ponchatoula still

182
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:09,000
using the old company

183
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,460
they may be the Paris service you have

184
00:08:11,460 --> 00:08:13,259
the opportunity to use different

185
00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:15,000
contractors if you're outside the city

186
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,680
limits

187
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,720
and you typically if you're outside the

188
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,580
city limits only have one time a week

189
00:08:20,580 --> 00:08:23,280
service not two times a week service

190
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,500
that's been unique to Hammond and

191
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:26,940
Ponchatoula

192
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:29,280
so Ponchatoula getting one time a week

193
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,780
service I don't know if they're getting

194
00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:34,380
one time a week or two time a week

195
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:53,389
okay

196
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:55,200
anyone else have any questions or

197
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,019
concerns on this on this matter come to

198
00:08:58,019 --> 00:08:58,920

199
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:07,009

uh I've got a

202
00:09:15,779 --> 00:09:18,720
I have some questions but it's is this

203
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,560
the time for me to bring it out or or

204
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,800
that it's going to be voted on the order

205
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,600
that's going to be voted on when tonight

206
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,820
this is the public uh hearing right now

207
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:31,560
to so you can you can talk right now

208
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:35,580
this is public discussion okay well well

209
00:09:35,580 --> 00:09:37,200
the reason I'm people don't limit that

210
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,519
income

211
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:41,220
and maybe six seven eight dollars don't

212
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:42,180
hurt

213
00:09:42,180 --> 00:09:45,480
certain people but it does hurt a lot of

214
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,660
people in in you know in the city limits

215
00:09:48,660 --> 00:09:52,140
so what I'm looking at is I know I'm

216
00:09:52,140 --> 00:09:53,880
limited on income

217
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,040
my my money's not going to be going up

218
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,060
anymore

219
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:59,700
you know my my basic income

220
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:02,100
now according to this it's going to be

221
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,760
you're looking at a 30 increase

222
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,800
on on this you know going from 14

223
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,860
to 20.98

224
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:16,740
19 20s

225
00:10:16,740 --> 00:10:20,640
yeah 20.98 so I mean you know six seven

226
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,399
eight dollars don't sound like a lot

227
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:26,040
but the city's been paying for it for

228
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,560
how long now about eight months I'm

229
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:33,839
sorry about eight months okay so I pay property tax

230
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:35,760
you know every time

231
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,620
we turn around

232
00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:40,440
you know I'm I'm I've got to pay my my

233
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,540
taxes or whatever but what I'm looking

234
00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:45,300
at is the public the people that don't

235
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,820
come out here you know they only got

236
00:10:47,820 --> 00:10:50,459
about maybe five or six of us here

237
00:10:50,459 --> 00:10:52,500
but I've had calls from people and

238
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:54,959
that's the thing that's frustrating is

239
00:10:54,959 --> 00:10:56,339
that they call you're going to want this

240
00:10:56,339 --> 00:10:59,160
and they want that and not and y'all ask

241
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,260
them I said come over here all you gotta

242
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:03,120
do is come here and say hello

243
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,240
so with basically what I'm looking at

244
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,220
I don't know who even brought this up

245
00:11:08,220 --> 00:11:10,560
the uh the mayor or whenever he went

246
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:16,320
into a contract and now was it up to the console to agree with

247
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,069
this

248
00:11:19,079 --> 00:11:22,560
anybody yes so y'all the council was

249
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,360
able to agree with it

250
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,579
or did y'all know anything about it

251
00:11:26,579 --> 00:11:30,530
before

252
00:11:30,540 --> 00:11:38,050
yep um this was presented to us back in

253
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:40,860
nothing was ever done with it

254
00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:43,680
so now it's being brought back up

255
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,519
okay so now the council has the option

256
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:50,220
to weather approve it or deny prove it

257
00:11:50,220 --> 00:11:51,480
or deny

258
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,000
okay so what I'm looking at if it's a 30

259
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,980
increase

260
00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:58,800
you know in uh

261
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,320
would would limit an income of these

262
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,060
people in the Paris underwater city

263
00:12:03,060 --> 00:12:05,300
rather you know we're still looking at

264
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:07,260
so much

265
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:10,500
money coming out of their pocket

266
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:13,620
Now understand certain people

267
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:17,160
figure six seven eight dollars is not a lot of money

268
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,980
but it is so I'm gonna say sixty percent

269
00:12:19,980 --> 00:12:22,620
of the people in the City of Hammond

270
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:25,140
I know it is to me so what I like to do

271
00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:27,300
I'm against it I would I would

272
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:30,600
appreciate if y'all consider looking at

273
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240
it from the angle of the peak without

274
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,339
y'all represent

275
00:12:35,339 --> 00:12:36,720
that way

276
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,180
no one in your mind

277
00:12:39,180 --> 00:12:41,160
that you know you're making the right

278
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,440
decision I think the city has enough

279
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,399
money to continue paying for it

280
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:54,300
now I see a laugh from Steve but but I'm asking so you tell me

281
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:56,760
it continues to pay for it then

282
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,760
something else has to go uh projects

283
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,040
infrastructure you know all you did

284
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,260
there's no new money

285
00:13:04,260 --> 00:13:06,480
it was budget was the budget was

286
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,079
approved the budget was proposed with

287
00:13:10,079 --> 00:13:12,000
this slight increase

288
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,120
in there if we don't do it then that

289
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,339
means we got to cut something else which

290
00:13:17,339 --> 00:13:19,560
means somebody else is not going to get

291
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:21,180
something maybe in your District maybe

292
00:13:21,180 --> 00:13:23,639
in my district maybe in somebody else's

293
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:25,980
District but something

294
00:13:25,980 --> 00:13:28,260
else that's going to cost about a half a

295
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:30,720
billion dollars is going to go away some

296
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,519
service that is needed

297
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:35,760
okay you know and the other thing that

298
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,459
remind you of do what Steve I said the

299
00:13:38,459 --> 00:13:40,079
other thing that I will just remind you

300
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:43,800
of is no matter what we do

301
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,700
you're not going to pay 14 for garbage

302
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:49,980
again unless the city picks it up and

303
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:51,959
then something else has to go you know

304
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:55,880
rates of a lot of things have gone up so

305
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,360
it's okay all of this was discussed

306
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,360
okay I understand it was discussed but

307
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,459
it wasn't approved by anybody

308
00:14:05,459 --> 00:14:06,779
you know

309
00:14:06,779 --> 00:14:08,519
I don't think it was even brought before

310
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:10,800
the council if I'm not correct am I

311
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,120
correct or not

312
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,560
well I thought it wasn't brought before

313
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,620
the console so the Garbage Contract the

314
00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:22,019
new contract the new one which is what sets the price of garbage okay so

315
00:14:22,019 --> 00:14:24,600
during that discussion we knew the price

316
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,579
of garbage and what it would have to be

317
00:14:26,579 --> 00:14:28,139
raised to

318
00:14:28,139 --> 00:14:31,320
so we were well aware that garbage was

319
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,540
going to cost almost 21 dollars a month

320
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:36,839
that was discussed a lot

321
00:14:36,839 --> 00:14:40,199
the increase was not presented at that

322
00:14:40,199 --> 00:14:42,240
time this is the first time that the

323
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,180
increase basically taking what the

324
00:14:45,180 --> 00:14:48,240
citizens pay all of us pay increasing it

325
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,339
by six dollars seven dollars this is

326
00:14:50,339 --> 00:14:55,199
tonight is the first time that we've voted on that

327
00:14:55,199 --> 00:14:57,600
but the increase in the rate that the

328
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,959
city pays was back in September October

329
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:02,760
and that was approved by who this

330
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,079
Council

331
00:15:04,079 --> 00:15:07,680
ah okay I just wanted to make sure I

332
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,019
just want to clarify that is that the

333
00:15:10,019 --> 00:15:12,480
current calculation of what you're

334
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,300
paying right now was off of a contract

335
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:18,420
that had another 18 months or so left on

336
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:20,639
it that was terminated

337
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,880
without me knowing I did not I did I did

338
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,980
not support the determination of that it

339
00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:27,480
was terminated

340
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,940
and then presented to the council at

341
00:15:29,940 --> 00:15:33,720
that point had knew we had no garbage in

342
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,459
place because a good contract was

343
00:15:35,459 --> 00:15:37,620
already terminated so therefore we were

344
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:40,980
placed with what we have now and

345
00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:43,620
therefore when that was we voted to

346
00:15:43,620 --> 00:15:45,360
approve that company because it was the

347
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,060
cheapest that company after the contract

348
00:15:48,060 --> 00:15:49,620
that we already had right now was

349
00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:52,560
terminated not not I was not a support

350
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,540
of that I was in a sport that I did not

351
00:15:54,540 --> 00:15:56,399
know about it so I want to clear that up

352
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:59,459
and then so now this whole time the rate

353
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:01,860
does not go the rate was not adjusted or

354
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:03,959
talked about going to affect being

355
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:08,220
increased until now so therefore it went

356
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:10,620
into place we voted on a contract but as

357
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:12,540
far as the money goes that was not

358
00:16:12,540 --> 00:16:15,839
presented to us to to implement the

359
00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:19,500
increase to the people until now

360
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:25,740
so that's that's the story with the old uh it was called Waste

361
00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:28,680
Management yeah

362
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,740
I am waste waste management

363
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:33,779
that was the old contract and the mayor

364
00:16:33,779 --> 00:16:35,459
went on and just canceled out and

365
00:16:35,459 --> 00:16:38,459
renewed a new one with Waste Pro is that

366
00:16:38,459 --> 00:16:41,820
correct yeah

367
00:16:41,820 --> 00:16:44,339
termination was by the mayor's office on

368
00:16:44,339 --> 00:16:45,300
the

369
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,519
current on the on the calculation that

370
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:49,139
you have right now your bill right now

371
00:16:49,139 --> 00:16:50,399
is calculated off of the previous

372
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:56,150
contract uh and and so yeah

373
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,160
well what I would like to consider with

374
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,560
the Constitution think about your people

375
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,260
that's not uh you know not as well

376
00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:07,319
there's a lot of other people and uh you

377
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:09,720
know working in in the City of Hammond

378
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,040
uh

379
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,339
we just need a little bit more lenient

380
00:17:14,339 --> 00:17:17,640
from the council to represent the people

381
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,919
and six to seven dollars is a lot of

382
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:22,559
money for some people so I'm here asking

383
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:25,380
that y'all consider that I'm against it

384
00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:28,740
and I've had 20 calls and I'm just

385
00:17:28,740 --> 00:17:31,200
expressing what they're telling me so if

386
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,700
anybody in the audience says there's a

387
00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:47,150
thing to say you're welcome thank you

388
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,140
good evening good evening council

389
00:17:49,140 --> 00:17:51,660
president Council Administration and

390
00:17:51,660 --> 00:17:54,360
everyone Tracy Washington Wells 610

391
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:56,760
Mooney Avenue

392
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,640
and while I appreciate the garbage

393
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,679
comparisons that the Administration has

394
00:18:01,679 --> 00:18:04,080
presented to you all you represent your

395
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,340
districts here

396
00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:09,059
you voted for this uh contract to go

397
00:18:09,059 --> 00:18:11,179
into place in September of last year

398
00:18:11,179 --> 00:18:15,059
minus one vote by my councilman

399
00:18:15,059 --> 00:18:17,340
um who was against it

400
00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:19,980
I can only speak on behalf of what I

401
00:18:19,980 --> 00:18:22,679
know occurs in the district I live which

402
00:18:22,679 --> 00:18:26,580
is District 3. and according to a grant

403
00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:29,280
that was funded to the City of Hammond

404
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,919
we are

405
00:18:30,919 --> 00:18:36,539
96.4 3 low to moderate income seven

406
00:18:36,539 --> 00:18:38,640
dollars may not seem and I'm saying

407
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,320
seven because it was six thousand nine

408
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,600
eight cents may not seem like a lot to

409
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,820
you but for someone that may be their

410
00:18:44,820 --> 00:18:47,700
medicine there may be bread and with the

411
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:49,679
day's prices it may not even cover the

412
00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:50,700
eggs

413
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,460
so I asked you to consider your

414
00:18:53,460 --> 00:18:56,039
representatives that elected you I was

415
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:58,260
at the budget work session and I don't

416
00:18:58,260 --> 00:19:02,280
recall hearing and if it was said and I

417
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,080
did hear it excuse me but I don't recall

418
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,419
hearing that this was part of the budget

419
00:19:06,419 --> 00:19:07,380
already

420
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:09,660
you guys are getting ready to approve a

421
00:19:09,660 --> 00:19:12,419
2.3 million dollar project out by the

422
00:19:12,419 --> 00:19:15,299
airport and there are other issues and

423
00:19:15,299 --> 00:19:18,600
concerns but I don't think that seven

424
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,720
dollars passed on to us the citizens

425
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,260
should be voted for because although you

426
00:19:25,260 --> 00:19:27,179
have voted for a contract the way that

427
00:19:27,179 --> 00:19:29,039
it was done

428
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,799
it was not Kosher you all didn't have an

429
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:33,900
opportunity to decide whether or not you

430
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:36,179
wanted a new contract that contract was

431
00:19:36,179 --> 00:19:38,520
canceled without your approval so you

432
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,299
really was put behind already so I'm

433
00:19:42,299 --> 00:19:44,580
asking you and you may not have

434
00:19:44,580 --> 00:19:46,440
representation here tonight but I

435
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,179
guarantee when they get that new bill

436
00:19:48,179 --> 00:19:50,340
and there's a twenty dollar charge

437
00:19:50,340 --> 00:19:53,039
you're going to be getting phone calls

438
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:59,090
thank you

439
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:07,190

number one

500
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:21,600
final adoption of an ordinance to

501
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,880
increase the monthly garbage fee from

502
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:32,270
1408 to 20.98 Lacey Landrum

503
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,200
this is the same that we just discussed

504
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,059
so if there's any additional questions

505
00:22:36,059 --> 00:22:37,980
or comments I have a question about the

506
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:39,360
recycling

507
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:40,740
um

508
00:22:40,740 --> 00:22:43,500
the document attached if we did not do

509
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:47,179
the recycling then that would be

510
00:22:47,179 --> 00:22:50,760
6.48 is that right and 40 cents and 40

511
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,440
cents and um I I have quite a few people

512
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,179
in my district who reach out they use

513
00:22:57,179 --> 00:22:59,960
the the City Recycling

514
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:03,000
I'm sensitive to the rate increase issue

515
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,120
obviously that recyclops that was going

516
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,120
around a while I'd love to see I'll

517
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:10,620
reach out to them see if they are still

518
00:23:10,620 --> 00:23:12,480
waiting to get 100 people signed up

519
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,700
because people who want recycling they

520
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:16,380
may pay the hundred dollars a year to

521
00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:19,380
get recycling there so to me that makes

522
00:23:19,380 --> 00:23:22,860
sense to at least take that off because

523
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,240
we don't know for sure where that

524
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,860
recycling is going if it's cost

525
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:28,620
effective and actually environmentally

526
00:23:28,620 --> 00:23:29,760
effective

527
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,520
that's just we had a little discussion

528
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,600
about Recycling and that's how I feel if anybody else has an issue with

529
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,580
recycling

530
00:23:38,580 --> 00:23:39,960
um I brought it up I think a while back

531
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:46,020
I think you were going to check into the comments that were made about

532
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:51,600
probably about 90 percent of the uh recycling is going to the dump

533
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,820
you know and and so that was that was

534
00:23:53,820 --> 00:23:55,919
said one of the other uh when we voted

535
00:23:55,919 --> 00:23:58,260
on the previous contract

536
00:23:58,260 --> 00:24:01,500
um approval and that was kind of

537
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:04,919
um while my uh position was the way it

538
00:24:04,919 --> 00:24:05,900
was about

539
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:08,700
not supporting that if we were double

540
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:10,500
paying for that and just doing the roll

541
00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:12,840
away at a better cost

542
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,940
at that time whenever we voted on the

543
00:24:14,940 --> 00:24:18,539
previous contract so if that's the case

544
00:24:18,539 --> 00:24:20,280
you know we kind of really need to know

545
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,380
that and I think the people

546
00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:25,320
who uh are rethinking they're recycling

547
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,620
you know no no what's going on and and

548
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:31,200
if and if that isn't

549
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,900
um approved or chosen that that the

550
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,179
reason being is that it's it's not a

551
00:24:36,179 --> 00:24:38,820
it's not as good as it sounds

552
00:24:38,820 --> 00:24:41,460
um and so it's not that it's a hand tie

553
00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:48,299
or against recycling it's more so of a uh cost matter and pretty much not

554
00:24:48,299 --> 00:24:52,740
being taken advantage of pretty much so yeah I think it's a compounding

555
00:24:52,740 --> 00:24:55,740
effect I think you're right I

556
00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:58,440
as we've had lots of discussions over

557
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,539
the past years the entire recycling

558
00:25:00,539 --> 00:25:03,000
Market the the bottom has fallen out of

559
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,120
it is no longer marketable for a lot of

560
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:08,460
companies to recycle because the goods

561
00:25:08,460 --> 00:25:09,960
and services I don't think a lot of

562
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,120
people knew that your goods and services

563
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,280
that were recycled here in the United

564
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,080
States you think that they go to find a

565
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,539
home as a new plastic bottle or as a new

566
00:25:18,539 --> 00:25:20,640
glass something or whatever that's

567
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,140
actually not what was happening at all

568
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,640
they were getting shipped over to China

569
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,620
and India and who knows what was

570
00:25:25,620 --> 00:25:28,020
happening at that point our other

571
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:30,720
challenge is that our we've had several

572
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,760
conversations with different providers

573
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,700
about a percentage can we get a

574
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:37,500
percentage or can we get a tonnage or

575
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:40,020
can we get some kind of verification and

576
00:25:40,020 --> 00:25:41,700
what we keep getting are a lot of

577
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:45,000
different answers we get that oh yeah

578
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,620
well this week was really good for

579
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:48,240
cardboard and this week they didn't

580
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,520
accept the Plastics or this one they had

581
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,080
to throw away this part but they

582
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,720
recycled this part and so we're not

583
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,460
getting straight answers and I don't

584
00:25:56,460 --> 00:25:58,740
feel like it's a good value to the

585
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:01,500
taxpayers until you can get that kind of

586
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:04,200
well maybe maybe work maybe we need to

587
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,059
go more toward just you know looking at

588
00:26:06,059 --> 00:26:09,600
a third party option and and a and and

589
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,080
promoting it to the people

590
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,140
um so they know that we are pushing

591
00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:18,360
recycling but

592
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:20,520
um through a different company that they

593
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,059
have an option to go with and and and

594
00:26:23,059 --> 00:26:26,220
organize their their recycling through

595
00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:27,840
them and I'm sure there's a lot of

596
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,760
companies out there I'm sure

597
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,740
um that do that like Carly said they had

598
00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:33,000
one that came in I think a while back

599
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,760
over here and uh you know not pushing

600
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,380
him but I'm sure there's a lot of

601
00:26:37,380 --> 00:26:39,299
options out there that we may need to

602
00:26:39,299 --> 00:26:42,659
research to to send notice out to to

603
00:26:42,659 --> 00:26:44,760
people in the community for the

604
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,769
recycling

605
00:26:48,779 --> 00:26:52,320
the only other thing I want to add is um

606
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,140
if we if the if the increase doesn't

607
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:58,260
pass then we're looking to add the city

608
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:00,419
taxpayers to pay four to five hundred

609
00:27:00,419 --> 00:27:02,220
thousand dollars a year just subsidized

610
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:03,179
garbage

611
00:27:03,179 --> 00:27:06,539
from about October 1st to the end of

612
00:27:06,539 --> 00:27:08,520
this month the city will have paid

613
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,220
around 300 to 330 000 of taxpayer money

614
00:27:13,220 --> 00:27:16,080
subsidizing the cost of the garbage

615
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,080
it's a yearly it's a yearly it's a

616
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,539
yearly cost and every you know we we

617
00:27:21,539 --> 00:27:25,080
spend our budget work sessions and we

618
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,580
have so many

619
00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:30,179
um so I I just don't I don't know how we

620
00:27:30,179 --> 00:27:32,039
don't pass this on to the customers

621
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:33,779
because

622
00:27:33,779 --> 00:27:35,940
we're looking at half a million dollars

623
00:27:35,940 --> 00:27:38,700
every year in our budget to pay for just

624
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:40,860
a portion of garbage it's not even all

625
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:42,240
of garbage it's not like we're offering

626
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,919
free garbage to everyone we're just

627
00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:45,120
offering

628
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,299
a part of your garbage

629
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:49,200
that doesn't seem like a good deal to

630
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,059
anybody quite quite honestly in my

631
00:27:51,059 --> 00:27:52,320
opinion and it's not going to go back

632
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,539
down it's not going to go back down it's

633
00:27:54,539 --> 00:27:55,440
not like we're going to be able to

634
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,659
handle this for a couple of years and

635
00:27:57,659 --> 00:28:00,960
then and then it'll go back down to 14.

636
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,520
um I mean I don't obviously don't have a looking glass or I can tell where that

637
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,100
that's true or not but none of us can

638
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:09,360
imagine that prices are going to go back

639
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,220
down so

640
00:28:11,220 --> 00:28:14,460
um I just we're gonna consistently

641
00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:18,600
add money taxpayer money to subsidizing

642
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,000
garbage every single year when we

643
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,679
already have a tight budget it doesn't

644
00:28:22,679 --> 00:28:28,850
seem like good use of tax dollars to me

645
00:28:28,860 --> 00:28:32,880
oh one minute please oh

646
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,860
I'm trying my best not to say nothing

647
00:28:34,860 --> 00:28:36,539
about this

648
00:28:36,539 --> 00:28:39,960
because what's going to take place

649
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,840
we already see what district will be

650
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,480
affected by because of the conversation

651
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,299
that started off that

652
00:28:48,299 --> 00:28:50,159
the districts

653
00:28:50,159 --> 00:28:52,860
gonna end up being affected

654
00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:56,400
by the capital lay projects

655
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,200
and

656
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,840
we wasn't concerned about this budget

657
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,080
when we gave that raise out and then

658
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,080
that in the budget right now we're still

659
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,120
looking at a two percent raise when we

660
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,940
just gave our a humongous race

661
00:29:11,940 --> 00:29:14,159
and what nothing said

662
00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:15,720
and

663
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,659
everything we do

664
00:29:18,659 --> 00:29:21,179
it affects the taxpayer

665
00:29:21,179 --> 00:29:23,940
so we just can't be concerned about one

666
00:29:23,940 --> 00:29:26,580
thing let's look at everything the

667
00:29:26,580 --> 00:29:30,120
railroad spur it affects the taxpayer

668
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,039
so everything we do paying uh

669
00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:37,080
helped me out when we was paying the

670
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,940
bill where you can go get your driving

671
00:29:38,940 --> 00:29:41,220
license you've been paying that bill for

672
00:29:41,220 --> 00:29:44,159
20 years the taxpayers

673
00:29:44,159 --> 00:29:46,080
that's coming out

674
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,659
of the taxpayers money and what nothing

675
00:29:48,659 --> 00:29:51,240
said about that and look we eliminate

676
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,320
that

677
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,779
the railroad spur is paying for itself

678
00:29:54,779 --> 00:29:58,260
now when it was the taxpayer so when we

679
00:29:58,260 --> 00:30:00,840
talk let's talk about the whole

680
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,440
the taxpayers are not able yes some of

681
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,480
us up here is able and I'm not gonna you

682
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,240
know I can't lie yeah I'm able to pay it

683
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,340
but what about my neighbor

684
00:30:11,340 --> 00:30:13,919
what about my aunt what about my brother

685
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:16,200
what about my grandmother what about my

686
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,520
sister

687
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,000
Hammond the people don't make no money

688
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,980
no they're not able to pay it they'll go

689
00:30:22,980 --> 00:30:24,299
to the store and buy some tennis shoes

690
00:30:24,299 --> 00:30:26,700
now but they bought what they want but

691
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:29,880
they still not able to pay these fees

692
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,000
just because we throw it up on no we

693
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,159
have to be considerate every time we

694
00:30:35,159 --> 00:30:39,000
vote on everything because it do have an

695
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,500
impact

696
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:43,380
on the taxpayers so let's be considerate

697
00:30:43,380 --> 00:30:45,720
we pretty much know

698
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,640
how a person's gonna do already because

699
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,620
they district is covered

700
00:30:49,620 --> 00:30:52,980
the infrastructure is short in my

701
00:30:52,980 --> 00:30:55,679

702
00:30:55,679 --> 00:30:57,419

can't bite my tongue District 3 is

706
00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:06,480
coming up short

707
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,120
every time you spend one dollar you'll

708
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,620
spend a hundred thousand dollars in

709
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:12,419
another District that ain't nobody

710
00:31:12,419 --> 00:31:15,360
talking about doing the budget

711
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,279
nobody have nothing to say because they

712
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:18,600
District are already getting everything

713
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,880
I have a lot to say because my district

714
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,399
started coming up short doing this here

715
00:31:23,399 --> 00:31:25,740
when the night over with y'all don't see

716
00:31:25,740 --> 00:31:29,399
it yeah it's gonna affect District three because

717
00:31:29,399 --> 00:31:31,380
you know why District three got a

718
00:31:31,380 --> 00:31:33,779
representative they're gonna talk for

719
00:31:33,779 --> 00:31:36,299
other people not for me for the people

720
00:31:36,299 --> 00:31:39,000
District three have a lot of poor people

721
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,039
in the area

722
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:43,500
so the garbage

723
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:47,279
it gonna hurt us and you're gonna see

724
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:50,159
when the next item come up item two

725
00:31:50,159 --> 00:31:52,620
now we finna give garbage away and who

726
00:31:52,620 --> 00:31:55,700
paying for that the taxpayers

727
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:58,380
and and I want to say you know and while

728
00:31:58,380 --> 00:31:59,940
we're here today is

729
00:31:59,940 --> 00:32:03,179
you know there's no worry to say it but

730
00:32:03,179 --> 00:32:05,700
just some some some poor decisions and

731
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:07,380
then now now here we are faced with

732
00:32:07,380 --> 00:32:09,539
discussing this increase on 30 percent

733
00:32:09,539 --> 00:32:11,760
so this should have been taking place

734
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,640
when the decision was made to terminate

735
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,460
the current the previous contract at

736
00:32:17,460 --> 00:32:19,799
that price and negotiate a plan that

737
00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:22,860
would not hit the the residents by a 30

738
00:32:22,860 --> 00:32:25,620
increase they weren't they we still had

739
00:32:25,620 --> 00:32:28,500
an 18 months left on that contract they

740
00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:30,120
could have negotiated additional

741
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,340
extension for a two dollar give them

742
00:32:32,340 --> 00:32:33,899
their two dollars and get another four

743
00:32:33,899 --> 00:32:36,539
years or whatever and and things could

744
00:32:36,539 --> 00:32:37,620
have been handled a little differently

745
00:32:37,620 --> 00:32:40,620
at that point in time and and I wasn't a

746
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:42,419
part of that decision and so therefore

747
00:32:42,419 --> 00:32:45,779
here we are now facing this issue right

748
00:32:45,779 --> 00:32:48,659
here and so it's tax dollars it's tax

749
00:32:48,659 --> 00:32:50,820
dollars tax dollars taxpayers been

750
00:32:50,820 --> 00:32:51,779
paying it

751
00:32:51,779 --> 00:32:54,179
from when the decision was made

752
00:32:54,179 --> 00:32:57,419
and uh you know and if and if the people

753
00:32:57,419 --> 00:32:59,760
pay and it's still taxes it's increased

754
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:09,649
on taxes so

00:33:09,659 --> 00:33:11,520

765
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:31,740
garbage fee going up but I never heard

766
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:34,799
the causes and conditions why what is

767
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:36,960
the basic you know

768
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,899
why you know it's a landfill demanding

769
00:33:39,899 --> 00:33:42,600
money or the employees demanding money

770
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,940
um why is it going up what is the cause

771
00:33:44,940 --> 00:33:46,740
and conditions you know getting down to

772
00:33:46,740 --> 00:33:49,260
the root of the problem you know

773
00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:52,080
um I didn't hear that if y'all said it

774
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,360

775
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,580
um also I was looking at the resolutions

776
00:33:56,580 --> 00:33:59,159
I don't know if y'all go over them you

777
00:33:59,159 --> 00:34:02,700
know but serving alcohol from 7 30 to 11

778
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:05,399
A.M I think that's why the police

779
00:34:05,399 --> 00:34:08,580
department needs both proof vests

780
00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:11,099
everybody's loaded and rocking in the

781
00:34:11,099 --> 00:34:12,540
street I mean what's with

782
00:34:12,540 --> 00:34:15,060
the hall and the open containers and all

783
00:34:15,060 --> 00:34:18,599
this stuff you know that that's like you

784
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:22,200
know the drug and alcohol world is being

785
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,960
praised you know at a walk and run

786
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,119
they're going to serve alcohol in the

787
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:30,240
morning from 7 30 to 11 A.M and like I

788
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:32,339

789
00:34:32,339 --> 00:34:35,339
department get that ball for proof fast

790
00:34:35,339 --> 00:34:37,500

00:35:07,859 --> 00:35:10,079
robot thing for the for the recycling

800
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:12,890

but I told the councilman I was going to

804
00:35:22,260 --> 00:35:24,480
work with him

805
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,359
to get some of the things that I think

806
00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:30,829
the community needs

807
00:35:30,839 --> 00:35:34,670
now you people in a hard spot

808
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,599
it ain't gonna be just gonna get some

809
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:38,940
telephone calls when the people look

810
00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:40,980
down at they bill

811
00:35:40,980 --> 00:35:43,380
and see this increase

812
00:35:43,380 --> 00:35:45,900
they already know they can't afford

813
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:50,329
and they're gonna say why me

814
00:35:50,339 --> 00:35:53,700
now y'all got to come over to answers

815
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:55,200

816
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,359
votes

817
00:35:57,359 --> 00:35:59,460
and believe me don't

818
00:35:59,460 --> 00:36:02,280
nothing bring a person out

819
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,870
then affecting his pocketbook

820
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:06,900
so

821
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,480
should have been handled different

822
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,099
I don't know why they changed from the

823
00:36:11,099 --> 00:36:13,320

along get the garbage just fine

827
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:21,420
maybe somebody didn't like what the

828
00:36:21,420 --> 00:36:23,480

829
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,160

846
00:37:11,099 --> 00:37:13,560
about the garbage

847
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,920
what the administration don't realize

848
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,579
the councilman control the budget

849
00:37:20,579 --> 00:37:22,260
the councilman

850
00:37:22,260 --> 00:37:24,359
forgot what they supposed to do they

851
00:37:24,359 --> 00:37:26,760
gonna control the budget so if something

852
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,140
they don't like

853
00:37:28,140 --> 00:37:30,660
they can always say we don't want that

854
00:37:30,660 --> 00:37:32,400
that's what the councilman don't realize

855
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,619
the administration don't run the budget

856
00:37:34,619 --> 00:37:36,660
the administration set the budget out

857
00:37:36,660 --> 00:37:38,520
and it's up to the councilman to approve

858
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,140
the budget so

859
00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:42,599
it ain't like your hands tied so you

860
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:44,099
don't have to sit on your hands up here

861
00:37:44,099 --> 00:37:46,800
acting like they tired we control the

862
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,599
budget

863
00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:50,579
and that's what the city don't realize

864
00:37:50,579 --> 00:37:53,640
and if you look around you from New

865
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,119
Orleans to Bogalusa the councilman

866
00:37:57,119 --> 00:37:58,980
control the budget

867
00:37:58,980 --> 00:38:01,740
not the man not the administration the

868
00:38:01,740 --> 00:38:03,900
councilman control the budget the

869
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:05,339
councilman is the one made sure the

870
00:38:05,339 --> 00:38:06,960
police got a raise

871
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,940
the councilman made sure that the city

872
00:38:08,940 --> 00:38:10,500
workers got a raise

873
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:12,660
the councilman did that so the

874
00:38:12,660 --> 00:38:15,420
councilman we control the budget so

875
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:19,140
don't set up here and not be afraid

876
00:38:19,140 --> 00:38:20,820
well you know what's right you know

877
00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:23,460
what's wrong so don't sit here and sugar

878
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:24,900
coat nothing

879
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:29,520
and act like six dollars and 80 cent is

880
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,900
no money

881
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:34,140
so let's do our job and what the people

882
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:38,940
picked us to do that's why all of us

883
00:38:38,940 --> 00:38:41,940
was able to come back up here because of

884
00:38:41,940 --> 00:38:43,500
the people

885
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:50,050
let's do our job

886
00:38:50,060 --> 00:38:54,890
good afternoon

887
00:38:54,900 --> 00:38:57,540
director Administration you know I

888
00:38:57,540 --> 00:38:59,880
really said I was not gonna say anything

889
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,099
but

890
00:39:02,099 --> 00:39:05,040
when I first came in and I sat down

891
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,780
after a few minutes I wanted to walk

892
00:39:06,780 --> 00:39:09,119
back out the door

893
00:39:09,119 --> 00:39:11,780
My grandmother used to tell me time

894
00:39:11,780 --> 00:39:17,930
brings on a change

895
00:39:17,940 --> 00:39:20,099
and

896
00:39:20,099 --> 00:39:22,680
nothing is going to stay the same I

897
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,619
remember when I could take a quarter and

898
00:39:25,619 --> 00:39:28,700
buy a bag of potato chips a candy bar

899
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,980
some Moon cookies some two for a penny

900
00:39:31,980 --> 00:39:35,400
candy and a cold drink but I can't do

901
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,579
that now because everything has gone up

902
00:39:38,579 --> 00:39:42,480
it's not my fault it's gone up it's not

903
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,880
the council fault it's gone up it's not

904
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,579
the mirror fault it's nobody's fault it

905
00:39:47,579 --> 00:39:50,240
is just government it's just inflation

906
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:53,099
period there's nothing we could do about

907
00:39:53,099 --> 00:39:56,579
it but the one thing that we keep on

908
00:39:56,579 --> 00:39:58,859
doing I'm talking about this city

909
00:39:58,859 --> 00:40:04,020

910
00:40:04,020 --> 00:40:06,540
back and forth and she got this and they

911
00:40:06,540 --> 00:40:09,359
got that and we ain't got this if if we

912
00:40:09,359 --> 00:40:11,460
work together

913
00:40:11,460 --> 00:40:14,460
if we would just work together and come

914
00:40:14,460 --> 00:40:17,460
together instead of always pointing the

915
00:40:17,460 --> 00:40:19,980
finger blame blame we could get

916
00:40:19,980 --> 00:40:23,820
somewhere as far as the garbage is man

917
00:40:23,820 --> 00:40:26,700
if people if people don't want the

918
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:30,300
garbage piled up outside they will pay

919
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:31,320
it

920
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,380
if they if it and it and and the one

921
00:40:34,380 --> 00:40:36,060
thing that this counselor should be

922
00:40:36,060 --> 00:40:38,400
doing instead of bickering against each

923
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,359
other figuring out how to tell your

924
00:40:42,359 --> 00:40:45,060
constituents look this is what the deal

925
00:40:45,060 --> 00:40:48,540
is now we either gotta do this thing or

926
00:40:48,540 --> 00:40:50,579
we gonna have piled up a garbage all

927
00:40:50,579 --> 00:40:51,900
over our city

928
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:55,740
I mean I it's it's just it is just it

929
00:40:55,740 --> 00:40:59,640
just hurts my heart that I was born in

930
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,220
this city and I lived in Mississippi

931
00:41:02,220 --> 00:41:05,520
soon be 65 years and we're at the point

932
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,820
now where we have we we can't we can't

933
00:41:08,820 --> 00:41:11,579
get anything done if we do get something

934
00:41:11,579 --> 00:41:15,240
done it's always a scream and a cursing

935
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:18,359
match about it it is totally it is

936
00:41:18,359 --> 00:41:22,260
totally ridiculous they're grown people

937
00:41:22,260 --> 00:41:26,040
sit behind these areas

938
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,099
and curse and screaming bicker and argue

939
00:41:29,099 --> 00:41:32,099
about everything that go on

940
00:41:32,099 --> 00:41:34,980
Come and Get Together We are never gonna

941
00:41:34,980 --> 00:41:37,200
get anything done if we keep on

942
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,300
bickering and arguing about it I promise

943
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:42,900
you Lord forgive me I represent God

944
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:45,540
that's who I try to represent I don't

945
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:48,359
always do it right but that's why Jesus

946
00:41:48,359 --> 00:41:50,040
died on the cross because he knew I

947
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,839
wasn't gonna always do it right

948
00:41:51,839 --> 00:41:53,640
everybody do some stuff they haven't

949
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,880
been doing but the thing is until this

950
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,160
Council figure out

951
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,240
how to put their heads together work out

952
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:05,480
something that every that that that

953
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,400
they're satisfied about

954
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,440
try your best you you're gonna have to

955
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,599
get it it's a give and take it ain't

956
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:14,400
gonna always be your way it ain't going

957
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,560
to be the other person's way but I

958
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,720
promise you it with it that seven

959
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:19,740
dollars

960
00:42:19,740 --> 00:42:23,099
I mean hey yeah it's a lot I'm for one

961
00:42:23,099 --> 00:42:26,400
can't afford it but if it has when it

962
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,079
comes to garbage we don't want garbage

963
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:30,960
all over the place and we and and if and

964
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,000
if we have to figure out a way I mean if

965
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,740
y'all could get together and figure out

966
00:42:34,740 --> 00:42:38,520
a way to make this thing work

967
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,380
you could put your hands you gotta say

968
00:42:40,380 --> 00:42:46,619
look man can you not do with this for this to happen What can you do

969
00:42:46,619 --> 00:42:49,020
without for yourself instead of blaming

970
00:42:49,020 --> 00:42:51,829
each other

971
00:42:51,839 --> 00:42:53,220
I might have to stop you right there

972
00:42:53,220 --> 00:42:55,140
real quick because I don't think you may

973
00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:56,220
have been a different council meeting

974
00:42:56,220 --> 00:42:58,260
than I've been here for the last hour or

975
00:42:58,260 --> 00:43:00,119
so but I don't I didn't hear any

976
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:02,700
bickering between any of us here it's a

977
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:04,140
serious issues I don't know where you're

978
00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:07,079
at but hold on a second let me finish

979
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:09,960
it's just a serious issue that people

980
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,119
in this community have been at least

981
00:43:12,119 --> 00:43:13,560
calling me about

982
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,619
in my district that I represent and it's

983
00:43:16,619 --> 00:43:20,460
a 30 increase on a garbage and we're all

984
00:43:20,460 --> 00:43:23,160
up here to make a a decision for people

985
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,380
so it's something that is a serious

986
00:43:25,380 --> 00:43:28,380
decision to be made and everybody up

987
00:43:28,380 --> 00:43:30,240
here has a right to speak and say what

988
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:32,460
they want to say and everything else and

989
00:43:32,460 --> 00:43:34,020
there was no bigger no cursing so I

990
00:43:34,020 --> 00:43:35,339
don't know where you were at but there

991
00:43:35,339 --> 00:43:37,140
was no cursing no bickering nothing up

992
00:43:37,140 --> 00:43:40,140
here there was some thoughts some some

993
00:43:40,140 --> 00:43:42,060
points being made by people in the

994
00:43:42,060 --> 00:43:44,579
audience and up up here as well making

995
00:43:44,579 --> 00:43:46,740
some points so I don't know maybe maybe

996
00:43:46,740 --> 00:43:49,440
I missed something but I didn't hear any

997
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,640
bigger but anyway as I was saying

998
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,780
uh I understand your constituents are

999
00:43:57,780 --> 00:44:02,099
calling you so that's where you go to

1000
00:44:02,099 --> 00:44:04,680
your other members and you say look

1001
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,359
everybody gets together and say look man

1002
00:44:06,359 --> 00:44:08,940
our constituents are having a fit that's

1003
00:44:08,940 --> 00:44:10,680
where you come together

1004
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,140
and you try and you try your best to

1005
00:44:13,140 --> 00:44:15,839
either make them understand or you try

1006
00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:18,839
your best to figure out another way

1007
00:44:18,839 --> 00:44:30,530
that's all I'm saying

1008
00:44:30,540 --> 00:44:33,900
name is Pete Graco liver 2100 Westdale

1009
00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:36,300
Court in Hammond

1010
00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:38,880
I just want to ask one question

1011
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,819
the garbage runs twice a week

1012
00:44:41,819 --> 00:44:43,440
why

1013
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,079
I don't have enough Gars to put in the

1014
00:44:46,079 --> 00:44:48,420
garbage can twice a week

1015
00:44:48,420 --> 00:44:50,940
why can't he cut it down to once a week

1016
00:44:50,940 --> 00:44:53,700
and you won't have to raise it

1017
00:44:53,700 --> 00:44:56,780
that's all I got to say

1018
00:44:56,780 --> 00:45:00,240
I'll respond I think that's a a valid

1019
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:02,640
point we have had that discussion

1020
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,500
previously there are a lot of other

1021
00:45:04,500 --> 00:45:06,599
people in the City of Hammond who would

1022
00:45:06,599 --> 00:45:08,640
scream if it was once a week so it's

1023
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,619
kind of a balancing act of

1024
00:45:10,619 --> 00:45:12,300
people who have large families they

1025
00:45:12,300 --> 00:45:13,740
definitely need it twice a week people

1026
00:45:13,740 --> 00:45:15,480
who are retirees maybe don't have

1027
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,040
children at home they only want it once

1028
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,020
a week so we had to make a decision of

1029
00:45:19,020 --> 00:45:20,819
once a week or twice a week I understand

1030
00:45:20,819 --> 00:45:23,040
that yeah but I tell you what I

1031
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,680
guarantee if you go around and check it

1032
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,960
as more people don't need it but once a

1033
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,260
week and twice a week I only

1034
00:45:30,260 --> 00:45:32,160
once a week

1035
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,619
probably ate meat the rest of once a

1036
00:45:34,619 --> 00:45:37,079
week why Hammond's got a rough if you

1037
00:45:37,079 --> 00:45:39,540
want to save money for the people

1038
00:45:39,540 --> 00:45:41,760
cut it down to once a week and you won't

1039
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,720
have to raise the budget

1040
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:51,609
thank you thank you

1041
00:45:51,619 --> 00:45:54,300
Lacy our contract is twice a week we

1042
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:56,220
can't change to once a week for a

1043
00:45:56,220 --> 00:45:59,400
different price correct

1044
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,099
you can always ask okay you can amend

1045
00:46:02,099 --> 00:46:04,380
contracts as long as they as long as

1046
00:46:04,380 --> 00:46:06,480
they you know would approve that but uh

1047
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,940
I think there's several ways I think the

1048
00:46:08,940 --> 00:46:12,119
concerns of my district anyway is is the

1049
00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:18,780
increase of so much at one time being a large 30 percent

1050
00:46:18,780 --> 00:46:21,300
um increase so I mean I think maybe we

1051
00:46:21,300 --> 00:46:24,000
need to go back to the drawing board and

1052
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,579
uh and then figure something out on on

1053
00:46:26,579 --> 00:46:27,720
this

1054
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:28,500
um

1055
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:31,319
either either a a tier

1056
00:46:31,319 --> 00:46:32,280
um

1057
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,500
transition

1058
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:38,099
um you know over over a period of time

1059
00:46:38,099 --> 00:46:42,660
um increase or uh or or just uh you know

1060
00:46:42,660 --> 00:46:48,839
looking at options of the one time a week compared to twice

1061
00:46:48,839 --> 00:46:53,270
a week how much savings

1062
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,319
you know that there's some options I

1063
00:46:55,319 --> 00:46:57,359
think instead of just sticking a 30

1064
00:46:57,359 --> 00:46:59,280
percent increase on the

1065
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,859
you know on everybody at one time so

1066
00:47:01,859 --> 00:47:03,420
that that's just something I'm thinking

1067
00:47:03,420 --> 00:47:04,980
about so

1068
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:07,200
quick question for you ladies is that a

1069
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,940
way to actually

1070
00:47:08,940 --> 00:47:11,640
get some answers to these questions

1071
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,300
look up like the once a week breakdown I

1072
00:47:15,300 --> 00:47:18,060
know if we removed the the recycling we

1073
00:47:18,060 --> 00:47:19,920
already see what that little bit would

1074
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,839
be but is there a way to go back to them

1075
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:24,540
to actually get a number on it to see

1076
00:47:24,540 --> 00:47:27,119
what the difference would be I'm sure we

1077
00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:30,180
could ask Andre kudrien our City

1078
00:47:30,180 --> 00:47:31,680
attorney is out of town for the rest of

1079
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,020
this week but we can always go back to

1080
00:47:34,020 --> 00:47:35,880
the provider we can ask Andre what's

1081
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,700
within our bounds as accepting bids and

1082
00:47:38,700 --> 00:47:40,440
working with contracts and all that I'm

1083
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,720
sure we can always ask there's never a

1084
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:44,339
problem with asking

1085
00:47:44,339 --> 00:47:49,910
okay my next question would be uh

1086
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,900
table in this

1087
00:47:51,900 --> 00:47:55,079
until we can get an answer

1088
00:47:55,079 --> 00:47:57,060
to see if there can be some kind of

1089
00:47:57,060 --> 00:47:59,700
breakdown or something that when we can

1090
00:47:59,700 --> 00:48:01,440
move through this here navigate through

1091
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,550
the water a little bit better

1092
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,720
all right Miss Lacey I have a question

1093
00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:09,480
now so for the senior citizen I know we

1094
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,660
had talked about the senior citizen rate

1095
00:48:12,660 --> 00:48:14,940
about they can they'll come get the

1096
00:48:14,940 --> 00:48:16,980
garbage can from side of their house or

1097
00:48:16,980 --> 00:48:20,520
whatever but now that we talking is it

1098
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,819
any way that we can see what 55 own up

1099
00:48:23,819 --> 00:48:26,160
see if we can give a senior citizen

1100
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,980
discount because like the gentleman said

1101
00:48:28,980 --> 00:48:31,920
you know he just have enough garbage for

1102
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,260
once a week

1103
00:48:33,260 --> 00:48:36,540
and Mr site out he have enough garbage

1104
00:48:36,540 --> 00:48:38,400
for once a week

1105
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,040
and I only have enough garbage for once

1106
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,500
a week so I don't have to put my can out

1107
00:48:43,500 --> 00:48:45,839
there twice so is there any way that we

1108
00:48:45,839 --> 00:48:48,900
can really look into not to help me but

1109
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:51,359
help the senior citizen because if you

1110
00:48:51,359 --> 00:48:52,740
look in the room

1111
00:48:52,740 --> 00:48:55,800
you see who in here talking about the

1112
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,700
rates it's the senior citizen and in my

1113
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:03,060
community a lot of people don't show up

1114
00:49:03,060 --> 00:49:06,119
because once you talk

1115
00:49:06,119 --> 00:49:08,640
somebody gonna go back and say they said

1116
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,280
this and they said that so that's what

1117
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,900
we deal with a lot in our community

1118
00:49:12,900 --> 00:49:15,180
that's why they don't come to the

1119
00:49:15,180 --> 00:49:16,740
council meeting because

1120
00:49:16,740 --> 00:49:19,200
fingers be pouring at them

1121
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,819
well then you made a good point too A

1122
00:49:20,819 --> 00:49:22,260
lot of the seniors are affecting a lot

1123
00:49:22,260 --> 00:49:23,880
of seniors may not be able to come to

1124
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:25,619
the meetings because of whatever health

1125
00:49:25,619 --> 00:49:27,300
reasons or whatnot but but they're

1126
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:29,280
affected by the by the garbage probably

1127
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:30,839
mostly so

1128
00:49:30,839 --> 00:49:33,240
um that's another another issue as well

1129
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:37,309
too so

1130
00:49:37,319 --> 00:49:39,900
well for this particular item

1131
00:49:39,900 --> 00:49:41,880
at this point I would actually make a

1132
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,700
motion to table this item until we can

1133
00:49:44,700 --> 00:49:47,099
get a breakdown on the once a week

1134
00:49:47,099 --> 00:49:48,780
pickup

1135
00:49:48,780 --> 00:49:51,420
and some options maybe just do that and

1136
00:49:51,420 --> 00:49:53,460
also do seniors and I mean I don't know

1137
00:49:53,460 --> 00:49:59,220
maybe get creative with you know with uh you know someone with large

1138
00:49:59,220 --> 00:50:01,500
families gonna need to do twice I don't

1139
00:50:01,500 --> 00:50:02,700
know how creative they can get with that

1140
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:03,480
but

1141
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,339
there's some of them they may not some

1142
00:50:05,339 --> 00:50:07,440
of my district I'll get calls from some

1143
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,420
people and they put it out once probably

1144
00:50:09,420 --> 00:50:11,280
every two weeks like there's just not

1145
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,800
much people that's not everybody so so

1146
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,300
and that that's something there that

1147
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:18,140
maybe we need to look at with seniors or

1148
00:50:18,140 --> 00:50:22,319
pricing maybe or something so I look at

1149
00:50:22,319 --> 00:50:24,540
a few options I I would say

1150
00:50:24,540 --> 00:50:26,760
um go back to the drawn board and and

1151
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,300
maybe you know and even even if it's a

1152
00:50:30,300 --> 00:50:32,099
tier where it's where it's over a period

1153
00:50:32,099 --> 00:50:34,920
of time a year you know increase here

1154
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,079
there what not as opposed to all at one

1155
00:50:37,079 --> 00:50:38,579
time I mean just several different

1156
00:50:38,579 --> 00:50:40,800
options that we can look at to kind of

1157
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,980
uh help this situation out

1158
00:50:43,980 --> 00:50:46,920
one option may be if the company is

1159
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,960
willing to go to once a week and if we

1160
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,520
don't have to rebid that you know

1161
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:51,900
there's lots of questions that we'll

1162
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:53,819
make sure and work through but one

1163
00:50:53,819 --> 00:50:55,319
option may be because I know we have

1164
00:50:55,319 --> 00:50:57,300
customers right now who have requested

1165
00:50:57,300 --> 00:51:01,440
and pay for a second can that may be if

1166
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,200
you had a larger family to a way that

1167
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,140
you could do once a week service but

1168
00:51:07,140 --> 00:51:08,700
you'd have you pay for that second can

1169
00:51:08,700 --> 00:51:10,380
so like you're suggesting is maybe

1170
00:51:10,380 --> 00:51:13,260
that's a way to give give a fair rate to

1171
00:51:13,260 --> 00:51:15,000
a lot of people but then those who maybe

1172
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,420
have additional needs they supplement

1173
00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:20,819
those and and they afford that way so

1174
00:51:20,819 --> 00:51:23,160
that we will try to look as many options

1175
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,140
as we can yeah that that that's a good

1176
00:51:25,140 --> 00:51:26,579
one right there you said with the two

1177
00:51:26,579 --> 00:51:29,099
cans possibly could be a good for those

1178
00:51:29,099 --> 00:51:30,780
households and then they wouldn't have

1179
00:51:30,780 --> 00:51:33,059
to pass once a week so

1180
00:51:33,059 --> 00:51:34,619
um

1181
00:51:34,619 --> 00:51:36,059
but anyway yeah I think there's

1182
00:51:36,059 --> 00:51:37,619
definitely more time needed to look at

1183
00:51:37,619 --> 00:51:42,170
this so I

1184
00:51:42,180 --> 00:51:45,660
H is a short question isn't the um

1185
00:51:45,660 --> 00:51:47,700
garbage tied in with the water the

1186
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:53,750
sewage and in us the bill yes yes

1187
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,260
in my world

1188
00:51:55,260 --> 00:51:57,599
um I might notice a little hike but I

1189
00:51:57,599 --> 00:51:58,740
probably wouldn't notice it because

1190
00:51:58,740 --> 00:52:01,319
everything's breaking down and then the

1191
00:52:01,319 --> 00:52:03,420
water is always going up you know

1192
00:52:03,420 --> 00:52:06,839
sometimes I feel like why isn't that

1193
00:52:06,839 --> 00:52:08,160
separate I've been thinking this for

1194
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,559
years why isn't the garbage separate

1195
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:13,740
from the water and this and the sewage

1196
00:52:13,740 --> 00:52:15,900
you know why do they make it one bill

1197
00:52:15,900 --> 00:52:17,579
because who's getting all the money the

1198
00:52:17,579 --> 00:52:19,260
water company you know is it really

1199
00:52:19,260 --> 00:52:22,619
being split equally you know I've always

1200
00:52:22,619 --> 00:52:26,530
had that question on one um

1201
00:52:26,540 --> 00:52:28,859
it should show on that bill it should

1202
00:52:28,859 --> 00:52:31,020
show like this sewer I don't think a lot

1203
00:52:31,020 --> 00:52:35,349
of people notice it

1204
00:52:35,359 --> 00:52:38,339
you know but I always wondered why they

1205
00:52:38,339 --> 00:52:40,260
didn't keep the garbage separate from

1206
00:52:40,260 --> 00:52:41,240
the water

1207
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:43,319
yeah they're separate on the bill but

1208
00:52:43,319 --> 00:52:45,300
both of those services are provided by

1209
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:47,220
the city right so all the money comes to

1210
00:52:47,220 --> 00:52:50,339
the city right so it's not like your

1211
00:52:50,339 --> 00:52:52,380
money we take and give to amways we pay

1212
00:52:52,380 --> 00:52:54,599
amways and then we take your money and

1213
00:52:54,599 --> 00:52:56,339
reimburse ourselves and I think it's an

1214
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:58,380
efficiency thing too instead of somebody

1215
00:52:58,380 --> 00:53:01,079
sending out two bill it's it saves time

1216
00:53:01,079 --> 00:53:03,599
paper more efficient putting it all on

1217
00:53:03,599 --> 00:53:06,859
one bill but yeah so yeah

1218
00:53:06,859 --> 00:53:10,160
you're welcome thank you

1219
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,800
in Dallas

1220
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,430
by usage

1221
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,780
and all of those things do go in like

1222
00:53:18,780 --> 00:53:20,520
your Revenue line items you'll see those

1223
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,260
separated so the same way that they're

1224
00:53:22,260 --> 00:53:24,300
separated in your bill they don't just

1225
00:53:24,300 --> 00:53:26,040
come to the city and all go in one big

1226
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,260
pot they stay in the water pot they stay

1227
00:53:28,260 --> 00:53:30,059
in the sewer pot they stay in the

1228
00:53:30,059 --> 00:53:31,859
garbage pot they stay in the Clean Water

1229
00:53:31,859 --> 00:53:34,140
fee that goes to the state so each of

1230
00:53:34,140 --> 00:53:35,520
those things that you see on your bill

1231
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,099
kind of stays in its own pot and then is

1232
00:53:38,099 --> 00:53:40,140
combined in different ways either to pay

1233
00:53:40,140 --> 00:53:42,180
the contractors or to pay the state or

1234
00:53:42,180 --> 00:53:44,400
to pay for the services

1235
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,260
but the parish do have it separate

1236
00:53:46,260 --> 00:53:48,900
though uh the parish habit where you can

1237
00:53:48,900 --> 00:53:50,700
pay your garbage bill yourself per

1238
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:53,160
household they do have it like that so

1239
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,700
what uh President Andrew said

1240
00:53:56,700 --> 00:54:00,420
yes I would like for us to uh

1241
00:54:00,420 --> 00:54:02,520
put it on hold

1242
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,700
let's go over some things

1243
00:54:05,700 --> 00:54:09,660
yes so you second that second a second

1244
00:54:09,660 --> 00:54:11,700
there's another hand in the arm so

1245
00:54:11,700 --> 00:54:13,680
somebody else had something to say

1246
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:19,190
sale so

1247
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,660
yes I just want to thank the council for

1248
00:54:21,660 --> 00:54:23,819
listening to the public

1249
00:54:23,819 --> 00:54:27,300
and uh you know it's always good to

1250
00:54:27,300 --> 00:54:29,280
bring people in here

1251
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,079
and to try to you know get an

1252
00:54:31,079 --> 00:54:33,900
understanding and the lady and Pete and

1253
00:54:33,900 --> 00:54:37,740
a few people came in by because you know

1254
00:54:37,740 --> 00:54:40,440
they were asked to come out but I asked

1255
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,119
20 of them that caught me and I said

1256
00:54:42,119 --> 00:54:44,520
well okay I'm going up there if y'all

1257
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,260
want to come come on

1258
00:54:46,260 --> 00:54:48,660
but you know it's like when you're a

1259
00:54:48,660 --> 00:54:50,880
certain age now you don't want to get

1260
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,819
out as much and I think that once a week

1261
00:54:53,819 --> 00:54:57,240
is a great program because

1262
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,480
uh the garbage cans are really big

1263
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,619
number one and uh maybe you know the

1264
00:55:04,619 --> 00:55:07,700
city could read we worked that contract

1265
00:55:07,700 --> 00:55:10,680
if the uh you know as long as the

1266
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,780
council is willing to work with and

1267
00:55:12,780 --> 00:55:15,119

families and their race director

1290
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,720
I'm here to ask for an ordinance

1291
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:27,680
variation for that short period of time

1292
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,619
to clarify open container alcohol it's

1293
00:56:31,619 --> 00:56:35,160
just beer I've spoken to we have a soft

1294
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,859
commitment from low road Brewing which

1295
00:56:37,859 --> 00:56:40,079
is a local Brewery I wanted to kind of

1296
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:42,900
keep it local in the neighborhood it's

1297
00:56:42,900 --> 00:56:45,240
mainly to be honest it's a marketing

1298
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:48,660
Ploy it's to Runners like beer they like

1299
00:56:48,660 --> 00:56:50,760
to have a an eight ounce

1300
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,720
glass of beer after a run and to attract

1301
00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:58,260
more Runners to pay a registration fee

1302
00:56:58,260 --> 00:57:00,119
which makes money for our organization

1303
00:57:00,119 --> 00:57:01,440
which

1304
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,640
tangipahoe parish is a big part of our

1305
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,280
community that we help

1306
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,319
so that's basically what it is and it's

1307
00:57:10,319 --> 00:57:12,839
a very short period of time and I can

1308
00:57:12,839 --> 00:57:15,119
tell you I have never been to a race and

1309
00:57:15,119 --> 00:57:17,400
I've been running for years I've been

1310
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,500
coaching for years and I've never seen

1311
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:21,660
drunks

1312
00:57:21,660 --> 00:57:23,599
at an after party

1313
00:57:23,599 --> 00:57:27,200
but it's very simple it's it's an event

1314
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,619
basically our organization

1315
00:57:30,619 --> 00:57:33,540
we provide resources and services along

1316
00:57:33,540 --> 00:57:36,900
with Educational Services for children

1317
00:57:36,900 --> 00:57:39,059
and adults with um

1318
00:57:39,059 --> 00:57:40,800
developmental disabilities and special

1319
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:41,819
needs

1320
00:57:41,819 --> 00:57:44,520
and we cover St Tammany tangipaho

1321
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,559
Washington Saint Helena and Livingston

1322
00:57:46,559 --> 00:57:49,559
Parish we are region nine and this is

1323
00:57:49,559 --> 00:57:52,680
our biggest fundraiser of the year

1324
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,260
and we're hoping that it goes very well

1325
00:57:55,260 --> 00:57:57,780
considering that some of our funding

1326
00:57:57,780 --> 00:58:00,000
from the state is on The Chopping Block

1327
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,400
which I'm sure a lot of other funds are

1328
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,800
on the shopping block as well so I ask

1329
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,960
for your consideration in granting this

1330
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,920
uh ordinance variation and

1331
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,720

1388
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:41,940
377.19 Janice swallow good evening good

1389
01:00:41,940 --> 01:00:44,520
evening Jen um this is our annual uh

1390
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,220
front-end related dumpster services that

1391
01:00:47,220 --> 01:00:48,839
is for our buildings

1392
01:00:48,839 --> 01:00:49,440
um

1393
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,799
the current contractor BFI declined to

1394
01:00:52,799 --> 01:00:54,299
renew at their current rate that they

1395
01:00:54,299 --> 01:00:56,520
had bidded on last year so we opted to

1396
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,940
put a new RFP out we have four proposals

1397
01:00:59,940 --> 01:01:01,559
they came in again as the lowest

1398
01:01:01,559 --> 01:01:05,520
proposal as you see I put estimated cost

1399
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:10,200
of 65 377 19 cents Because the actual

1400
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,339
rentals for all dumpsters will be 58

1401
01:01:13,339 --> 01:01:16,260
467.35 cents we had to estimate the

1402
01:01:16,260 --> 01:01:18,420
tonnage for a 190 roll-offs which we

1403
01:01:18,420 --> 01:01:21,540
have two of I did it on the high end and

1404
01:01:21,540 --> 01:01:22,859
that's where I came up with a figure of

1405
01:01:22,859 --> 01:01:27,049
65 377.19

1406
01:01:27,059 --> 01:01:28,500
so for council's approval to move

1407
01:01:28,500 --> 01:01:30,540
forward

1408
01:01:30,540 --> 01:01:34,140

01:03:38,819 --> 01:03:40,200
District three that's what I'm working

1459
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:41,880
on

1460
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:51,950
so do we have a garbage bill

1461
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:55,609
complicated too if that's

1462
01:03:55,619 --> 01:03:59,819
sewer plant fragrant Drive uh

1463
01:03:59,819 --> 01:04:03,059
is it anyway we can cut that back

1464
01:04:03,059 --> 01:04:06,240
Mondays and Thursdays

1465
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,059
I would have to ask the bordering

1466
01:04:09,059 --> 01:04:10,440
superintendent

1467
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,220
um guy pal Palermo I know they out there

1468
01:04:13,220 --> 01:04:15,180
majority seven days a week I really

1469
01:04:15,180 --> 01:04:17,160
don't know what actual

1470
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,319
garbage that they bring in tonnage wise

1471
01:04:19,319 --> 01:04:27,289
but that is something we can ask about

1472
01:04:27,299 --> 01:04:28,799
that is the dumpster that's out there by

1473
01:04:28,799 --> 01:04:30,900
the swimming pool in the skate park and

1474
01:04:30,900 --> 01:04:33,839
I know that the rec center yes they

1475
01:04:33,839 --> 01:04:35,819
Recreation all them bring fire

1476
01:04:35,819 --> 01:04:37,140
department on the other side bring their

1477
01:04:37,140 --> 01:04:39,720
trash and don't think that is used

1478
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,299
now watch it now because we got the fire

1479
01:04:42,299 --> 01:04:43,799
department on here too we have multiple

1480
01:04:43,799 --> 01:04:45,660
fire departments yeah

1481
01:04:45,660 --> 01:04:47,940
okay

1482
01:04:47,940 --> 01:04:50,460
the police training

1483
01:04:50,460 --> 01:04:52,859
that's once a week and it's a small

1484
01:04:52,859 --> 01:04:57,410
dumpster

1485
01:04:57,420 --> 01:04:59,700
alleyway

1486
01:04:59,700 --> 01:05:02,099
that one were reimbursed for by the

1487
01:05:02,099 --> 01:05:04,680
People by the business owners there so

1488
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,420
the business owners throughout Morrison

1489
01:05:06,420 --> 01:05:10,380
alley all pay for that dumpster

1490
01:05:10,380 --> 01:05:12,240
through their water bills instead of

1491
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,280
carrying separate trash they pay for the

1492
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,049
dumpster

1493
01:05:18,059 --> 01:05:23,390
so if they paying for the dumpsters

1494
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,859
that one that one is a is a budget wash

1495
01:05:25,859 --> 01:05:28,440
I would say because we get the money

1496
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,260
they get charged the money for that to

1497
01:05:31,260 --> 01:05:32,880
pay for that dumpster

1498
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,040
we just decided to put a dumpster there

1499
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,200
because we had so many issues with trash

1500
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,720
being back there and not being collected

1501
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:40,740
properly

1502
01:05:40,740 --> 01:05:42,540
because there's three restaurants on

1503
01:05:42,540 --> 01:05:44,940
that same block right there

1504
01:05:44,940 --> 01:05:46,619
okay because this is what I'm looking at

1505
01:05:46,619 --> 01:05:49,079
Miss Lacey and you helped me out

1506
01:05:49,079 --> 01:05:51,180
when I'm riding downtown I see any

1507
01:05:51,180 --> 01:05:53,220
garbage trucks downtown picking up

1508
01:05:53,220 --> 01:05:55,920
garbage so

1509
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,900
should nobody have to put garbage out in

1510
01:05:57,900 --> 01:05:59,280
the front if we're going to do this sale

1511
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:03,420
right I'm asking you mean if we if we

1512
01:06:03,420 --> 01:06:06,119
didn't have the dumpster yeah if we

1513
01:06:06,119 --> 01:06:08,339
didn't have the dumpster there would be

1514
01:06:08,339 --> 01:06:10,619
massive amounts of trash and more finale

1515
01:06:10,619 --> 01:06:12,900
because there's three restaurants on

1516
01:06:12,900 --> 01:06:14,280
that block alone

1517
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,260
yeah okay well what I'm saying they

1518
01:06:16,260 --> 01:06:18,480
can't they have more trash than could

1519
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,119
fit in in like the the carts the hand

1520
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:26,220
carts okay so can I see uh

1521
01:06:26,220 --> 01:06:29,520
maybe this week where we making sure

1522
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,559
that the city that they actually paying

1523
01:06:31,559 --> 01:06:35,760
for their garbage fees Okay so

1524
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,319
let's see what else I have on here the

1525
01:06:37,319 --> 01:06:39,359
fire department they good because what

1526
01:06:39,359 --> 01:06:40,680
I'm saying I'm looking at how much money

1527
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,619
we spending on the Alice and the garbage

1528
01:06:43,619 --> 01:06:46,370
fees

1529
01:06:46,380 --> 01:06:49,680
and so what we look like we're going to

1530
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,480
take off uh there's something that we

1531
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,539
need to talk about now or uh take it off

1532
01:06:54,539 --> 01:06:55,920
because the senior citizen we're giving

1533
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:57,539
them money already how much money we get

1534
01:06:57,539 --> 01:06:59,700
him every year

1535
01:06:59,700 --> 01:07:02,280
I believe it's sixty thousand sixty

1536
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:03,839
thousand

1537
01:07:03,839 --> 01:07:06,180
so

1538
01:07:06,180 --> 01:07:08,819
yeah it's for the bus service 60 000

1539
01:07:08,819 --> 01:07:10,559
just for them to you know do what they

1540
01:07:10,559 --> 01:07:14,339
want it's 60 000 to operate the city bus

1541
01:07:14,339 --> 01:07:18,359
so that the alleyway uh Alleyway Kate

1542
01:07:18,359 --> 01:07:22,200
Street uh that one right there is

1543
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,119
that one is where's that which one's

1544
01:07:24,119 --> 01:07:26,280
that behind that's the same way so the

1545
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,319
alleyway is behind um well they get the

1546
01:07:28,319 --> 01:07:32,460
one behind tacos and beer and all that is that's one of them is that uh

1547
01:07:32,460 --> 01:07:34,799
Alleyway Kate or alloy Thomas because

1548
01:07:34,799 --> 01:07:36,059
that'd be Thomas should be right

1549
01:07:36,059 --> 01:07:38,819
Morrison alley is the one behind uh

1550
01:07:38,819 --> 01:07:42,059
tacos and beer okay my mom's the other

1551
01:07:42,059 --> 01:07:46,559
one is across the street from her across

1552
01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:49,020
Cyprus is the entrance to that back

1553
01:07:49,020 --> 01:07:51,900
alley yeah so it Services

1554
01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:55,500
um the Luna coffee place the other side

1555
01:07:55,500 --> 01:07:57,599
I gotcha in fact I don't think it's Luna

1556
01:07:57,599 --> 01:07:59,220
I think it's

1557
01:07:59,220 --> 01:08:02,760
um topala participates in that one uh

1558
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:07,619
this the cafe the coffee shop the

1559
01:08:07,619 --> 01:08:10,619
two bars I think both participate I know

1560
01:08:10,619 --> 01:08:12,900
for sure one of them does

1561
01:08:12,900 --> 01:08:16,140
that again is a is a budget wash because

1562
01:08:16,140 --> 01:08:18,779
it's charged to the customers

1563
01:08:18,779 --> 01:08:25,789
for that dumpster

1564
01:08:25,799 --> 01:08:29,090
that was my only concern

1565
01:08:29,100 --> 01:08:32,110
thank you

1566
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,739
anyway at those dumpsters that we have

1567
01:08:34,739 --> 01:08:37,679
like with the regular contract like put

1568
01:08:37,679 --> 01:08:39,179
them all to where like

1569
01:08:39,179 --> 01:08:42,060
you know waste Waste Pro would be with

1570
01:08:42,060 --> 01:08:44,460
Waste Pro like why wouldn't we have at

1571
01:08:44,460 --> 01:08:47,219
some point in time bidding them all out

1572
01:08:47,219 --> 01:08:49,199
with you know the same company to see if

1573
01:08:49,199 --> 01:08:50,699
it would have been a better rate like

1574
01:08:50,699 --> 01:08:53,239
what uh why is it separate instead of

1575
01:08:53,239 --> 01:08:56,279
letting them bid out services that we

1576
01:08:56,279 --> 01:08:58,440
request and this is a front end loader

1577
01:08:58,440 --> 01:09:00,420
um well I'm just saying that some of

1578
01:09:00,420 --> 01:09:02,819
these companies offer both gear doesn't

1579
01:09:02,819 --> 01:09:05,699
offer yeah but I mean some of them do

1580
01:09:05,699 --> 01:09:07,560
like yeah it's Pros on here so that's

1581
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,179
what I was saying but they're bidded out

1582
01:09:09,179 --> 01:09:10,679
separately like what I'm saying is the

1583
01:09:10,679 --> 01:09:13,560
contract for the regular garbage pickup

1584
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,980
is usually comes before the dumpsters

1585
01:09:16,980 --> 01:09:19,500
around like I just would I would have

1586
01:09:19,500 --> 01:09:21,000
thought that it probably better to

1587
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,000
probably bid them out together and then

1588
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,880
the ones who only do those just put them

1589
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:28,380
in the mix of bidding and out and then

1590
01:09:28,380 --> 01:09:30,900
the ones that do both let them do both

1591
01:09:30,900 --> 01:09:32,640
so that's what I'm getting at because

1592
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,080
some of these companies that do both

1593
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,719
they may have been able to give a better

1594
01:09:36,719 --> 01:09:39,239
rate if they offer both

1595
01:09:39,239 --> 01:09:43,679
at the time of negotiating uh that's a

1596
01:09:43,679 --> 01:09:44,940
question I could just ask in

1597
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,859
consideration to see if yeah it affected

1598
01:09:46,859 --> 01:09:48,359
the price yeah I was just curious on

1599
01:09:48,359 --> 01:09:50,880
that because I'd imagine this it would

1600
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:52,739
have been nice to just bid them all out

1601
01:09:52,739 --> 01:09:55,020
of the same same time when we do garbage

1602
01:09:55,020 --> 01:10:02,270
and and rollaways

1603
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:08,630
I wonder if I have any questions

1604
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,239
it's just a lot of discussion about

1605
01:10:11,239 --> 01:10:13,620
non-profits and things the food pantry

1606
01:10:13,620 --> 01:10:15,360
that's thirty two hundred dollars a year

1607
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,820
for their garbage and the Council on

1608
01:10:17,820 --> 01:10:18,900
Aging

1609
01:10:18,900 --> 01:10:20,940
thirty two hundred dollars a year for

1610
01:10:20,940 --> 01:10:23,940
their garbage those were the two

1611
01:10:23,940 --> 01:10:26,460
quote unquote non-profits for you to pay

1612
01:10:26,460 --> 01:10:34,390
their garbage

1613
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,080
and Jan I guess what I was getting at I

1614
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:38,400
was just trying to figure out if there

1615
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,380
was a reason why I like that I don't

1616
01:10:40,380 --> 01:10:42,000
know but that was it so it may be a

1617
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,620
reason why they did it separately like

1618
01:10:43,620 --> 01:10:45,600
that or at timing or whatever so that's

1619
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:46,980
kind of what you know if you get a

1620
01:10:46,980 --> 01:10:49,500
chance just see what I was curious it's

1621
01:10:49,500 --> 01:10:51,000
just really how the contracts previously

1622
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,860
fell out the trash for a decisions

1623
01:10:52,860 --> 01:10:54,480
usually their pricing and do they do

1624
01:10:54,480 --> 01:10:56,520
long do they do longer contracts in a

1625
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:57,239
year

1626
01:10:57,239 --> 01:11:05,270
yeah they have often up to three years okay

1627
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,970
so

1628
01:11:07,980 --> 01:11:14,410
anyone else

1629
01:11:14,420 --> 01:11:16,260
yeah how we're gonna do about those

1630
01:11:16,260 --> 01:11:18,300
non-profits in there so will we take

1631
01:11:18,300 --> 01:11:21,970
that out or what how we gonna do this

1632
01:11:21,980 --> 01:11:25,620
could the administration ask them to pay

1633
01:11:25,620 --> 01:11:28,320
their bill pay a bill

1634
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,239
okay that's if the council doesn't want

1635
01:11:30,239 --> 01:11:31,440
to pay for garbage for these two

1636
01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:33,120
non-profits it could be like these

1637
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,580
residents and restaurants who reimburse

1638
01:11:35,580 --> 01:11:38,100
the city since we're obviously going to

1639
01:11:38,100 --> 01:11:39,659
have a better rate that would help out

1640
01:11:39,659 --> 01:11:42,420
these non-profits so that um this and

1641
01:11:42,420 --> 01:11:44,159
then and then kind of another

1642
01:11:44,159 --> 01:11:46,199
prove it and just send them a bill yeah

1643
01:11:46,199 --> 01:11:48,780
we could just I mean we can just

1644
01:11:48,780 --> 01:11:50,940
send them if that's the council's

1645
01:11:50,940 --> 01:11:52,620
decision we can just

1646
01:11:52,620 --> 01:11:55,260
send them the invoice for that amount on

1647
01:11:55,260 --> 01:11:57,179
their water and sewer bill

1648
01:11:57,179 --> 01:11:59,640
and with them do a second resolution

1649
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,820
saying the council wishes YouTube and

1650
01:12:02,820 --> 01:12:05,040
make a removal

1651
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:06,960
and

1652
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,239
I guess we'd make a motion to prove that

1653
01:12:09,239 --> 01:12:11,990
this would

1654
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,620
um I think we definitely need to say

1655
01:12:13,620 --> 01:12:15,320
something about what we're going to do

1656
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,600
with that so I mean maybe just vote vote

1657
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,020
uh you know to to remove

1658
01:12:22,020 --> 01:12:24,179
those two items and make up another one

1659
01:12:24,179 --> 01:12:26,280
and make another one after saying that

1660
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,020
you know make a motion to I'm not making

1661
01:12:28,020 --> 01:12:29,219
this motion because I don't agree with

1662
01:12:29,219 --> 01:12:31,320
this but I make a motion to approve

1663
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,440
these bids um and

1664
01:12:34,440 --> 01:12:36,540
Council Council on Aging in their water

1665
01:12:36,540 --> 01:12:38,580
bill well I think if you could do that

1666
01:12:38,580 --> 01:12:41,040
you need to include all they're already

1667
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,440
done doing that they're redoing that but

1668
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:45,179
we're not stating that is it stated

1669
01:12:45,179 --> 01:12:46,380
anywhere

1670
01:12:46,380 --> 01:12:48,239
see what I'm saying I mean if we're

1671
01:12:48,239 --> 01:12:49,620
going to clean it up clean it up yeah I

1672
01:12:49,620 --> 01:12:51,239
think there's some conditions or you

1673
01:12:51,239 --> 01:12:54,000
know if you want to prove it with a

1674
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,600
condition what a condition

1675
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:59,340
all non-city entities must be billed on

1676
01:12:59,340 --> 01:13:05,270
their water bill yeah

1677
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:07,020
so that's the motion so what was the

1678
01:13:07,020 --> 01:13:08,280
motion I don't know if somebody needs to

1679
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,460
make the motion it's not my motion

1680
01:13:11,460 --> 01:13:13,380
okay

1681
01:13:13,380 --> 01:13:16,260

to dumpster

1685
01:13:25,860 --> 01:13:28,739
on their water bill

1686
01:13:28,739 --> 01:13:30,239

1687
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,580
and and we are entering into the

1688
01:13:32,580 --> 01:13:34,679

contract which is what's in the agenda

1698
01:14:05,159 --> 01:14:08,810

1699
01:14:08,820 --> 01:14:15,709

'll be knowing what to do in the lawyer

1702

not around huh I see it's getting it's

1703
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,219
getting important now to have uh no

1704
01:14:29,219 --> 01:14:30,960
assistant

1705
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:32,640

1706
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:34,980
I'm saying we don't quite know we don't

1707
01:14:34,980 --> 01:14:36,480
quite know it's right

1708
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:38,640
because we don't have no we don't have

1709
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:40,739
the opinion of the lawyer so we don't

1710

1711
01:14:41,940 --> 01:14:44,400
and when certain laws talk it scared me

1712
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,199

aye

1732
01:15:33,060 --> 01:15:35,219
I just want to make a little comment is

1733
01:15:35,219 --> 01:15:36,780
that you know we got so many big

1734
01:15:36,780 --> 01:15:38,640
contracts like this come up

1735
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,800
be nice you know to just check to see if

1736
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,500
we have the attorney you know if he's

1737
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:45,000
going to be able to make it or not just

1738
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,100
because some issues like this would be

1739
01:15:47,100 --> 01:15:49,440
you know good if we had I mean garbage

1740
01:15:49,440 --> 01:15:52,500
is a big contract and some of these so

1741
01:15:52,500 --> 01:15:54,300
um I know everybody at their personal

1742
01:15:54,300 --> 01:15:56,280
life and everything but you know it had

1743
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:58,320
been nice maybe just to put it on the

1744
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,960
agenda when you know he was going to be

1745
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:01,920
here

1746
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,600
um the City attorney or some

1747
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:07,560
representative of of his office uh so if

1748
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,659
there was any questions on some of the

1749
01:16:09,659 --> 01:16:11,699
contracts we could we could get that

1750
01:16:11,699 --> 01:16:14,219
addressed uh I think that would be a

1751
01:16:14,219 --> 01:16:16,500
good idea in the future just to kind of

1752
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:18,600
if there's some some big contract topic

1753
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:20,340
items to come up I think it would help

1754
01:16:20,340 --> 01:16:22,199
all of us out up here

1755
01:16:22,199 --> 01:16:25,790

good evening good evening this is

actually one that we brought to the

1793
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,040
council at the end of February and we

1794
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:57,179
were absolutely delighted a couple of

1795
01:17:57,179 --> 01:17:58,800
weeks ago to receive word that we will

1796
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,199
be receiving our grant we had originally

1797
01:18:01,199 --> 01:18:03,020
applied for fifty thousand dollars

1798
01:18:03,020 --> 01:18:05,280
apparently this was the most competitive

1799
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,140
year they've ever had there's over like

1800
01:18:07,140 --> 01:18:08,880
3 000 grants

1801
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,000
so we're delighted to get 25 000. we're

1802
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:13,500
going to reduce the scope a bit this

1803
01:18:13,500 --> 01:18:15,239
will probably be more focused on the

1804
01:18:15,239 --> 01:18:16,739
pocket park that's at the end of

1805
01:18:16,739 --> 01:18:18,780
Morrison alley off of Cyprus then the

01:18:18,780 --> 01:18:20,120
whole alley

1807
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:22,140
and as we kind of come up with some

1808
01:18:22,140 --> 01:18:23,460
ideas we'll be bringing those to the

1809
01:18:23,460 --> 01:18:25,140

1861
01:20:37,820 --> 01:20:43,209
but we're not protecting the kids

1862
01:20:43,219 --> 01:20:48,229
we need to sit down

1863
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:51,300
come up with something with the police

1864
01:20:51,300 --> 01:20:53,750
department

1865
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:55,620
the city councilman the city

01:20:55,620 --> 01:20:57,739
Administration

everybody that got killed

1868
01:21:00,719 --> 01:21:03,300
it affected my community and I know the

1869
01:21:03,300 --> 01:21:04,440
people

1870
01:21:04,440 --> 01:21:06,480
either they killed somebody or somebody

1871
01:21:06,480 --> 01:21:08,100
that got killed

1872
01:21:08,100 --> 01:21:11,159
and what we don't realize

1873
01:21:11,159 --> 01:21:14,400
is happening in my community today

1874
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,560
but tomorrow can affect your community

1875
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,600
so

1876
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:21,120
we see what's going on in New Orleans we

1877
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,520
see what's going on in Baton Rouge at

1878
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,219
one time the city could say we never had

1879
01:21:26,219 --> 01:21:28,080
nobody get killed in Hammond we never

1880
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,300
had nobody get killed in Hammond

1881
01:21:30,300 --> 01:21:34,490
the gun violence is out of control

1882
01:21:34,500 --> 01:21:38,340
the news station called me yesterday

1883
01:21:38,340 --> 01:21:40,620

1884
01:21:40,620 --> 01:21:41,880
Hammond

1885
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:43,440
and

1886
01:21:43,440 --> 01:21:45,480
I'm not going to talk about nothing that

1887
01:21:45,480 --> 01:21:47,520
I don't know nothing about

1888
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,080

1889
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,600
we as the citizens

1890
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:55,010
we as the people

1891
01:21:55,020 --> 01:21:57,719
we need to sit down and talk

1892
01:21:57,719 --> 01:22:00,780
if it's going on in my neighborhood

1893
01:22:00,780 --> 01:22:02,460
eventually they're going to come to your

1894
01:22:02,460 --> 01:22:04,560
neighborhood and just like we talk about

1895
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,540
the open yard

1896
01:22:06,540 --> 01:22:08,760
that didn't affect the blacks

1897
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,880
but we talked about it and we voted for

1898
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:13,020
Stuff

1899
01:22:13,020 --> 01:22:15,719

1900
01:22:15,719 --> 01:22:18,120

1901
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:20,760

1905
01:22:27,780 --> 01:22:30,719
that's what I come up here for

1906
01:22:30,719 --> 01:22:32,940
true and it's sad

1907
01:22:32,940 --> 01:22:34,980
a couple months ago it was in Martin

1908
01:22:34,980 --> 01:22:37,320
Luther King Park

1909
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:38,640

01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:42,350
it's up around the University

1911
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,880
and it's so much taking place that we

1912
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,280
don't even hear about it that is going

1913
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:48,300

01:22:48,300 --> 01:22:51,540
the four-wheelers the dirt bikes

1915
01:22:51,540 --> 01:22:54,540
everything I talk about

1916
01:22:54,540 --> 01:22:56,100
is taking place

1917
01:22:56,100 --> 01:22:58,080
when that four-wheeler kills somebody

1918
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:00,360
that looked like you

1919
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,400
when that dirt bike killed somebody with

1920
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,860
the rules right now community

1921
01:23:04,860 --> 01:23:07,460
