[1:59] the behavioral health program in
[2:01] twenty fifteen as you know we had two
[2:02] deaths on the far department due to a
[2:07] collapse in which we lost to fire
[2:09] fighters leisure own mash that really
[2:12] brought to the forefront into white
[2:14] approach the problems that we had in
[2:16] the fire department at that time we
[2:18] had no behavioral health program or no
[2:20] assistance we required assistance from
[2:22] our International Association of Fire
[2:24] fighters and we had fire fires come
[2:26] across United States and Canada help
[2:30] us with grief counseling and
[2:31] assistance and into our behavior
[2:33] health issues at the time after that
[2:37] Shortly after that collapse. We had a

[4:16] international committee of sixteen
[4:18] members from the United States and
[4:22] Canada to look into behavioral health
[4:24] secretary treasurer Rose sits on that
[4:26] committee was selected out of
[4:27] the United States for that that
[4:29] committee of sixteen members in there
[4:32] They've begun work on developing
[4:34] international Walk program that is
[4:37] being recognized in the behavioral
[4:38] Health is second to none. They've also
[4:40] opened a Center of Excellence in
[4:43] Maryland that is a on site program or
[4:46] behavioral health program that treats
[4:49] people on site in twenty nineteen

[4:55] program director and so was discussed
[4:58] u wif our needs support. According to
[5:02] an article by war or war winner of
[5:04] the Beacon twenty seventeen
[5:05] The University of Phoenix az publish
[5:07] findings stating that eighty five
[5:09] percent of first responders have
[5:10] mental health issues. Sixty nine
[5:12] percent have experienced sleep
[5:14] deprivation issues forty five percent
[5:17] have experienced anxiety twenty seven
[5:19] percent of its have been diagnosed
[5:21] with depression sixty nine percent

[5:47] thirty seven percent for buyers have
[5:48] ptsd compared approximately three
[5:51] percent of the journal population
[5:54] gives the city is not is not any
[5:56] different. Common behavior health
[5:58] concerns that we've faced among far
[6:02] fires of include mood disorders ptsd
[6:04] substance use disorders these problems
[6:07] have led to decreased productivity
[6:09] increased absenteeism family
[6:11] dysfunction health concerns including
[6:16] heart disease and legal concerns and
[6:19] suicide forty two carats is a program
[6:22] that we dressed the part about address
[6:24] these problems according to Doctor
[6:26] Jeff took the Oberoi health benefits
[6:28] strategy and innovation leader at
[6:29] Mercer consulting research has shown
[6:32] how having an off site clinic reduces
[6:34] healthcare costs reduces absenteeism
[6:36] increases productivity and overall
[6:39] better health of employees overtime
[6:42] forty two Tuesday Volta Revolution

[6:45] Assistance Program and has built an on
[6:47] site clinic with which will house
[6:53] individual counseling group counseling
[6:54] assessment services family support
[6:55] recovery groups. This is going to be
[6:57] in our union always develops space
[6:59] there and is and we just had
[7:01] the international come and look at it
[7:02] in representatives and behavioral
[7:03] health specialists from across
[7:06] the nation are very jealous of what we
[7:08] what we are building here. The current
[7:10] snapshot this year we've had
[7:13] approximately thirty eight men twelve
[7:15] claims broccoli for members of his
[7:18] with our program which is a program
[7:20] within the metropolitan area that it's
[7:22] treats ptsd for first responders and
[7:25] military professionals are military
[7:30] members and many members of dots in
[7:35] many members are not even salt
[7:36] behavior health treatment. We have an
[7:37] integrated support for behavioral
[7:39] Health Plan of forty two careers is
[7:41] the plan is our plan we will be
[7:42] utilizing the peer support training
[7:43] program of the International
[7:45] Association of Fire fighters whether
[7:47] they are rolling out new components
[7:50] want the newest component that will be
[7:52] rolled out this fall beyond resiliency
[7:54] they also would do training for
[7:56] behavioral health specialists. We also
[7:59] are working on contract with New
[8:01] directions to supply the two meet
[8:04] the demands of the side letter for
[8:06] the ap program. We also partner with
[8:11] or retirees Association and also our
[8:16] Auxiliary to do recognition of
[8:17] behavior health issues so we can
[8:18] tackle these from the beginning we met
[8:23] with nurses are support groups from
[8:24] from the Auxiliary that we have in
[8:26] that they were. It was incredible
[8:28] stories that we heard that what people
[8:32] are taking home to their spouses and
[8:35] loved for its scope and goals of our
[8:36] program include program management
[8:40] that will be done by our art director
[8:42] a mandatory referral program that will
[8:45] be utilized by the fire department
[8:46] appealed for people that they
[8:48] recognize having issues will be able
[8:53] to try to do in house training for for
[8:55] a market cadets as they come on how to
[8:57] treat added to recognize issues
[9:00] firsthand in our command staff. We
[9:02] also be able to banish preferred
[9:05] providers. Recognizing that many of
[9:08] the programs that we have will be a
[9:11] wee plate were planning on doing a bar
[9:13] ops program to put preferred providers
[9:18] through what we do on a daily basis to
[9:20] ride along program with fire fighters
[9:24] we have a social media pages outlook
[9:26] and will be able to do treatment
[9:32] solutions through through social media
[9:33] in recognition will be providing
[9:34] referral liaison from from the bridge
[9:36] from the ap to the health care systems
[9:42] and workers' compensation programs
[9:43] will to be doing community that's an
[9:45] output on identifying what ptsd is how
[9:48] it affects their firefighters first
[9:50] responders will be older spawn
[9:52] immediately to crisis calls with
[9:54] twenty four hour hotline we've all soo
[9:56] creed were partnered with a website
[9:57] called Far strong that allows people
[10:00] to see who they are peer support
[10:03] counselors are they have the logo on
[10:05] their identify who they are no gnome
[10:08] so it is truly a pure program or peer
[10:12] program is very diverse from age
[10:19] gender and an ensure that our programs
[10:20] at First program so we can reach every
[10:23] peer group of the fire department we
[10:26] also will be able to have community
[10:29] training in c use for our peer
[10:32] counselors the ap services. I won't
[10:34] bore you with the va for health
[10:36] employee assistance program what will
[10:38] be able to supply this is what is in
[10:40] the side were the next two slides or
[10:41] what is directly inside winners will
[10:43] hits a couple of the highlights in
[10:46] that regard what it does say what we
[10:48] currently have is five isn't
[10:50] the current iep program we're doing is
[10:53] we're going we'll leave that we're
[10:54] going to meet with the works that
[10:56] would be able to meet but probably
[10:59] exceed that program we believe we can
[11:01] contract within the funding that can
[11:02] be provided the city of seven visits
[11:06] and also have a smooth transition into
[11:07] the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Program
[11:09] which we don't have as much now
[11:12] Currently we have five is is that
[11:14] really does appear to time for a
[11:16] member to get settled in with
[11:17] the counts were in they have to change
[11:19] because that many of the council
[11:22] programs aren't in the in the Blue
[11:24] Cross Blue Shield program so we were
[11:26] identifying counselors make sure that
[11:27] they're in the Blue Cross Blue Shield
[11:29] program so there's a smooth transition
[11:32] to the b and treatment of care can
[11:34] continue on to that counselor in. We
[11:41] hope to also expand it to our retirees
[11:42] data collection and debt in regard to
[11:43] data collection Local forty two shall
[11:44] smite data core data quarterly to
[11:46] the can see far apart and wellness
[11:47] quarter coordinator for internal
[11:49] review the provider should collect
[11:51] data and format needed for submission
[11:55] die if I have see in the fee annual
[11:57] surveys all data loss data shall be
[11:58] provided in format that complies with
[12:00] the input parameters for the national
[12:02] survey instruments. This is so we can
[12:04] really trick track the trends and what
[12:06] is happening in behavioral health and
[12:09] how we can address those issues in
[12:10] the future and better butter supply
[12:14] care to our members. Dash also include
[12:16] activity reports Negeri data from all
[12:18] clinical and health screenings in to
[12:20] prove they will have cost just Geisha
[12:22] will be able utilize that data
[12:23] collection attract workers comp claims
[12:24] tied to behavioral health pension
[12:27] claims tied to behave or holes in all
[12:29] our peer support contacts that we have
[12:31] throughout the years. Additionally
[12:35] will pursue additional funding via
[12:36] available grants. There's grant money
[12:37] this not been tapped out there who
[12:40] will reduce the cost the city and
[12:42] the obligation the city in the coming
[12:44] year. Conclusion without high
[12:46] resilient fire fighters who directly
[12:48] addressing behavioral health concerns
[12:50] performance decreases and will result
[12:52] in more employees off from work on
[12:56] modified duty burn out leaving
[12:58] the career or be in tension off time
[13:00] and time again we have had fire
[13:02] fighters from afar for his career that
[13:04] many many of us have dreamed about
[13:07] being since we are young children and
[13:08] what a firefighter comes in my office
[13:12] assists they can't do the job. It's
[13:13] it's it's heartbreaking. We want to
[13:15] stop this we will make sure that our
[13:18] workforce your workforce it is
[13:20] the best that that is out there to
[13:21] perform for citizens the citizens that
[13:24] we believe that we see on their worst
[13:26] day they need the best care that we
[13:28] can in the best workforce that we can
[13:30] we hope this program helps in that
[13:34] regard. The combination of prevention
[13:36] and education are me you options com
[13:39] combat this through our forty two Care
[13:40] behavioral Health Systems program so
[13:42] we thank you for your consideration of
[13:45] this program into funding is something
[13:50] is epidemic within the fire service in
[13:51] this pre revolutionary and we will be
[13:53] the in the forefront of taking care of
[13:56] this problem so you have any question
[13:57] for half the answer. All right thank
[14:00] you very much I'll just note for
[14:02] the committee amount that is listed in
[14:03] the ordinance. We passed within our
[14:06] budget a couple of months ago so that
[14:09] it's not an issue for us. Moll also
[14:12] note that the trip last year the time
[14:13] the city manager took God along with
[14:15] Mr. Dube into Phoenix was very eye
[14:17] opening and I was especially impressed
[14:19] with the peer program that they have
[14:21] been able to successfully do there so
[14:23] I have a lot of high hopes myself for
[14:25] this program what I'll do here in
[14:27] Kansas City but other any questions or
[14:32] comments from committee is there any

[15:58] recognizing this ordinance is having
[15:59] exhibited affected a boring morning
[16:00] Dan Trent Cole's with finance
[16:02] department next to me is my colleague
[16:05] Bruce Campbell of General Services
[16:07] the matter in front of you relates to
[16:11] a parking garage that is located under
[16:15] the mist lot of Tory him it was
[16:17] constructed I think sixty years ago
[16:19] and has served the needs of its
[16:21] auditorium and also the city's
[16:23] convention center for years if not
[16:25] decades probably fourteen or fifteen
[16:27] years ago there were some major
[16:28] renovations the garage and there been
[16:31] some repairs ongoing repairs sense
[16:34] that as of late due to the use of
[16:36] the garage there's been concern about
[16:39] can the condition and the continued
[16:43] useful life of the facility. This
[16:44] ordinance estimates an appropriate
[16:47] bond proceeds in advance of
[16:49] the issuance in order to raise funds
[16:55] to finance a a consulting contract to
[16:59] allow the city to determine the future
[17:02] of any of the auditorium garage and
[17:07] any alternative parking solutions that
[17:09] there May be available to the city to
[17:13] continu blogging
[17:17] Tory and also the city's convention
[17:18] center. This very shortly contract is
[17:21] about one point three million dollars
[17:24] in total that will be financed through
[17:28] a bond issue next year in March of
[17:30] twenty twenty on a taxable basis. We
[17:32] assume a four point five percent
[17:36] interest rate and one advertise least
[17:38] the portion of the bonds for this
[17:41] particular project over ten years that
[17:44] the financing is assuming that that
[17:45] that interest rate is estimated about
[17:48] one hundred seventy thousand dollars a
[17:50] year in annual debt service. So what
[17:53] but I like to do to turn it over to
[17:56] Peru so we can talk to but more about
[17:58] the contract pretty good food and Mr.
[18:01] Chair Committee members. Good morning
[18:03] just a little bit of background on
[18:08] what Dan just said some of you May
[18:10] recall the City Council passed a
[18:14] resolution several months ago for a
[18:19] sixty three million dollar commitment
[18:23] to find Rach the replacement of
[18:25] the garage and Barney Allis Plaza
[18:29] subsequent to that city staff endeavor
[18:34] to put together a due diligence report
[18:38] that we reported to City Council work
[18:42] session a few months ago and
[18:43] the effort the goal of that due
[18:47] diligence study was to analyze
[18:51] the current condition of the garage
[18:55] analyze or look at potential uses for
[18:58] space on top of the garage in
[19:02] the reconstruction of the garage and
[19:06] as I eluded to in the fact sheet that
[19:09] you have there's discussion about
[19:12] building potentially garage spaces in
[19:16] an adjacent location or and a portion
[19:19] of the space is back on site. In
[19:22] addition to the space on top of
[19:24] the Gracia sell this that due
[19:26] diligence study goddess to the point
[19:28] where we went to a procurement process
[19:33] to select on the contractor that is
[19:35] here today and out. If you have any
[19:38] questions for the for the contractor
[19:43] we plan to work with they're here to
[19:47] say few words as the second for
[19:49] the presentation. Okay so actually
[19:51] Bruce can you go into a little bit
[19:54] more detail both in terms of what
[19:56] scope of services will be associated
[19:59] with this contract as well as
[20:05] the procurement process as far as
[20:06] respondents you all that kind of thing
[20:09] Yes Mr. Chair that the scope of
[20:13] services we we have where we plan to
[20:18] bomb we put together a scope in phases
[20:20] calm part of the first phase of
[20:22] the contract will take a deeper dive
[20:25] into the alternative analysis
[20:29] the alternative analysis being what is
[20:32] the best fit for where parking spaces
[20:35] are located and how many were going to
[20:38] put either back on site or add an
[20:42] alternative site within a two block
[20:45] range of up to twenty plays. So that's
[20:48] the first phase of the study
[20:50] the second is the second phase of
[20:53] the study and billiard and you have to
[20:55] correct me if I get the sequence wrong
[20:59] but the second part of this is how
[21:01] once we determine where the best place
[21:04] for the spaces are and the design
[21:07] potential design for the space on top
[21:11] that then space at that point will go
[21:14] into they'll go into standards
[21:18] developing standards for whoever
[21:24] eventually wins a pure cocoa became a
[21:26] process to actually contract for
[21:29] the services that we need to build
[21:33] the garage after that phase
[21:34] the consultant will walk us through
[21:37] the entire process of the design build
[21:41] for the garage and be the city's
[21:42] representative through that entire
[21:50] process and then as far as the process
[21:52] of her and what are we looking at as
[21:57] far as how many responded to the rfp
[21:59] and than I'm curious to know what
[22:04] the n b e w b e response or in the wb
[22:07] requirements if any there are this
[22:15] contract we have four respondents knew
[22:19] too that we have four wheeler before I
[22:20] get four respondents interviewed for
[22:26] and in b e w v e goals. I do not have
[22:26] spicy Mystery elders come into
[22:28] the mike morning Mr. Chairman for
[22:30] example director says he relation
[22:32] parchment in terms of the project and
[22:34] the vendor in question we receive a
[22:35] contract violation plan from them
[22:37] the goals were recently established at
[22:39] fifteen percent in being ten percent
[22:41] wb they have submitted to us a
[22:44] utilization Plan are of eight point
[22:46] five percent in b e and I think twenty
[22:49] six point something for on the wb size
[22:52] so they are and in the firms that they
[22:53] have recommend all currently certified
[22:57] with silk in cinemas are okay thank
[23:00] you very much. Ok Mr. Crandall I know
[23:02] that you are itching to speak to so it
[23:04] is anything you'd care to add four
[23:09] open up questions from the committee
[23:10] can mourn my name's Bill Crouse ec
[23:12] rules to group and just it just in a
[23:14] safe way to clarify with Bruce and
[23:16] Sheila were saying is that it's really
[23:17] a three phase process phase one is
[23:19] this discovery phase to figure out how
[23:22] many new spaces and where they'll be
[23:25] and then that's phase one a in Phase
[23:26] one b will be to refine those
[23:29] solutions and then to develop some
[23:31] criteria and then shortlist design
[23:33] build contractor so that's those are
[23:35] the products of the first phase one
[23:37] which is the full one point three five
[23:40] million dollars understood or knew if
[23:43] we choose to do so the design build
[23:44] competition some debate is whether we
[23:47] do design build competition or go
[23:48] right to contract with the shore with
[23:49] the first short was to design build
[23:51] firm but if we go to a competition
[23:53] that would be a three or four month
[23:56] process and then that would result in
[23:58] selecting a design builder in phase
[24:00] three would be the actual design
[24:02] construction sector and the wb
[24:04] participation of the rp required
[24:08] fifteen and ten respectively. This
[24:09] phase one a of this phase one with a
[24:13] great half and eighteen or twenty two
[24:15] twenty six so our intent is to be
[24:16] fifteen and ten exceed that over
[24:20] the entire scope of the full three
[24:24] faces project so this totally just
[24:25] under so happy to answer it. Sure Amo
[24:27] the question might have for you is
[24:30] when do we intend to see the products
[24:33] of this initial phase to the point
[24:35] which you will have gone through
[24:39] the analysis the standards the short
[24:42] listing right now subject to
[24:43] additional input from the city I would
[24:45] anticipate probably March first of
[24:47] March fifteenth of next year having
[24:51] completed phase one as both Phase One
[24:54] and Phase one b. That's a very good
[24:55] thank you Allah been up to questions
[24:59] from committee of the heavenly account
[25:03] smarts to get some trying to get a
[25:04] better understanding what the first
[25:09] phase actually is is this not design
[25:15] as it has no sir the first phase is is
[25:21] a mom a continuation of an alternative
[25:28] analysis that is designed to determine
[25:30] the best places for the parking spaces
[25:38] to be located so no heartbeat and
[25:39] the reason you know there's been a
[25:41] considerable my effort towards that
[25:42] goal of determining that the best
[25:47] place for the space is simply because
[25:50] in due diligence study we found out
[25:55] that the further you dig into Barney
[25:57] Allis Plaza further down you go
[26:00] the more levels you go down the costs
[26:03] goals as you go down in the grass so
[26:07] on that theory is that if we determine
[26:10] some locations that are adjacent that
[26:13] still serve the convention center. Mom
[26:17] mom and that we can build a bomb going
[26:18] off instead of going down is going to
[26:22] be much cheaper for the city and
[26:24] the first phase is designed to
[26:31] determine what exactly that looks like
[26:39] So in that in terms of the scopes of
[26:41] the im him in wb ease. I'm always
[26:47] hesitant to vote yes on something
[26:48] that's on it that we have a cup it's
[26:50] presented in and we don't have half of
[26:54] the recommended him be so kind of
[26:58] explain that to me. Well it's it's
[26:59] fairly simple though the two primary
[27:00] and the service provider writers that
[27:02] we have are Jason Parsons Parsons
[27:04] Associates is due to communication and
[27:05] outreach throughout the process which
[27:09] is for suggests is an extension of
[27:11] the due diligence process the other
[27:14] vendor is accompanied by Manatee aside
[27:15] as just technical and special
[27:17] inspections material testing concrete
[27:19] steel. We're not going to be in that
[27:22] phase until they surgery and I'm
[27:23] certain will meet will exceed
[27:27] the fifteen percent that point we're
[27:30] just we don't have the service
[27:32] providers that we have another
[27:32] minority business owned companies
[27:34] don't have a role in these first two
[27:36] phases but they will in the third
[27:39] phase but other companies that could
[27:43] have a rule I'm not currently our team
[27:45] I mean there could very well was
[27:47] there could very well be. We do have
[27:52] our full complement of wb in a night
[27:54] it's a good question I suppose if we
[27:57] could approach it that way knowing we
[27:58] didn't really know we're going to be
[27:59] broken down into these three faces as
[28:03] we as was the seminar or contract. I
[28:06] think as the project is involved
[28:08] working with staff we've concluded
[28:10] that is probably best to buy for Kate
[28:14] these the whole project or try for
[28:15] Kate actually the project so that we
[28:20] can get it on the schedule get things
[28:21] going but I think the And if it's
[28:22] the cities will to continue on with
[28:24] the whole project in fact demolish or
[28:26] rebuild our house plans I'm confident
[28:30] will meet those goals. Here's my issue
[28:32] now just to stir out there. Oftentimes
[28:35] we hear the same jargon you know when
[28:39] the next phase we're going to make it
[28:44] up and then we get to the end of
[28:45] the project. You know we are not met
[28:46] the mb goals and be goals and so now
[28:50] we'll ask for a waiver of some kind so
[28:52] I can support going into the whole
[29:00] notion of a project with utilizing
[29:05] half the centre half what the uh but
[29:09] the but the girls could be so I think
[29:12] you count some bars might ask a Mr.
[29:15] Fielder just to see if I'm tracking
[29:20] what I'm hearing correctly. So Philip
[29:21] two counts when Barnes point I
[29:25] understand his point very well but I
[29:29] guess I'm want to understand your
[29:32] recommendations and and maybe
[29:36] understand if you work
[29:37] the recommendations in the utilization
[29:39] report that's coming forward if
[29:41] difficulty comes from the same basis
[29:43] so I am what I've heard Mr. Crandall
[29:47] say is we've we've split this into
[29:50] three pieces and this first piece has
[29:52] this amount and as you go on these
[29:55] pieces all kind of come together to
[29:58] form something closer. I guess to what
[30:00] has been suggested so I guess my
[30:05] question to you is did
[30:12] the recommendation from hr de com um
[30:13] you know from the standpoint of not
[30:16] splitting this up but but this being
[30:17] the whole project is trying to
[30:18] understand kind of what everybody
[30:21] starting from so I can better
[30:24] understand or comment to what counts
[30:27] when Barnes brought up that makes
[30:29] sense sure will cast member when
[30:33] the goals were established. We looked
[30:34] at the entire scopes involved in
[30:38] the project we were not privy to
[30:44] the fac and face so engineering
[30:46] service pr Service Design Service were
[30:50] a few for the entire school for
[30:52] the duration of the project as Bruce's
[30:54] as indicated they're going to break it
[30:57] up and faces while the vendor also has
[31:05] the ability to determine what stage in
[31:06] to be you. Discretion will utilize if
[31:09] they so choose to you lies on
[31:10] the front of the project going face
[31:12] want this fine if it's in the Mill
[31:14] Wharf it sprayed out as they have
[31:15] indicated they planned to do that's
[31:17] fine too they give us what we call a
[31:20] schedule of utilization and
[31:22] the schedule utilization tells us At
[31:25] what point we should expect minority
[31:28] women all participation to occur so
[31:31] kept a cow some point there's nothing
[31:33] prohibiting them from utilizing
[31:35] minority firms on the phrase wanted to
[31:37] begin another project we do encourage
[31:40] stat for the simple fact is what he
[31:41] indicated if they run into problems
[31:43] later on that the goals were
[31:45] regulation was met in addition to that
[31:49] if it's a project where we have
[31:51] availability. It would be something
[31:53] that we would have us suggested that
[31:55] they reach out but they're not bound
[31:57] that they still have the option to
[31:58] bring in utilization throughout
[32:01] the project we see this and all of our
[32:02] projects construction as well as
[32:06] professional services. So we're not
[32:08] opposed to them bring it in
[32:10] utilization of course the millet or
[32:12] stand upright the goal would still be
[32:14] applicable to the entire project so
[32:18] it's feasible to get as much
[32:20] participation as possible to avoid any
[32:22] problems later on it though should
[32:25] occur. Jer and I guess using which you
[32:28] just said on the wb side you've got a
[32:29] heist starting this phase of twenty
[32:31] six percent presumably potentially
[32:33] over the course of the entire project
[32:36] that percentage can come down as more
[32:40] and more work product is done and
[32:44] perform and you have a larger right. I
[32:46] think two consulting firms on the wb
[32:48] side I believe one's call Mason
[32:51] consultant May see consultant and a
[32:52] winsome efforts in both for those
[32:58] individuals are Reese to do well. Well
[33:00] then so well they know she's kind like
[33:01] an architect Architecture pharmacy she
[33:04] does a lot of design work in that area
[33:06] but you do have a lot of the scopes
[33:08] that or applicable in this case
[33:11] engineer servers those types of
[33:13] opportunities are still out there so
[33:15] we can also Reese received requests
[33:18] for modification. If this project move
[33:20] forward they do add of the engineering
[33:22] firms to the project for on the design
[33:24] service as city engineer structure
[33:26] engineer if that is applicable in some
[33:28] of this year like I see it when we
[33:30] established a goal it was looking at
[33:33] the project throughout the entire
[33:35] duration not in face understood thank
[33:38] you very much this is the point of
[33:41] conversation would it be more
[33:44] acceptable. Councilman If you solve
[33:47] more of the schedule that included
[33:48] the three phases so you can see how
[33:54] things were plugged in Afghanistan
[33:55] very good items travel you want to
[33:57] speak to that that thought I was going
[33:58] to actually offer that we'd be happy
[34:05] to prepare that I would also say that
[34:06] the participation of wb doesn't really
[34:07] do celery and that's fine I just as an
[34:09] exam so I would hope that we would be
[34:13] no north of twenty on wb in North
[34:17] fifteen were the goals or fifth
[34:19] fifteen ten shirt just an illustration
[34:20] the point so I push everybody happy to
[34:22] prepare that announcement that two
[34:25] staff. Okay very good to get other
[34:29] points of conversation or comments or
[34:33] quest
[34:38] testimony for ordinance one nine zero
[34:40] for four three. Seeing none of them is
[34:41] to be awry. I see you there. I think I
[34:44] know what you're gonna say this I say
[34:47] good morning Mayor Pro Tem finance and
[34:48] governance committee members Doug
[34:51] Wheeler with the finance department I
[34:52] would remind the committee that as Mr.
[34:55] Dan coats noted Mrs. In an
[34:56] appropriation in advance of bond
[35:01] proceeds. So it does create a hole in
[35:02] the budget if the ordinance is passed
[35:05] and Bon Bon proceeds are not the bond
[35:08] issue's not sold in bond proceeds do
[35:10] not come in at some future point in
[35:11] time. The monies that have come from
[35:13] somewhere else understood to
[35:14] anticipate selling bonds next spring
[35:16] under certain der least two people
[35:18] here at this table who I'm sure we'll
[35:23] make sure that that happens to you
[35:26] guys I appreciate that confidence
[35:28] counts movements but I think Mr.
[35:29] Whelan and it's always important to
[35:32] make that reminders to thank you for
[35:35] that um okay so if there's no further
[35:38] testimony than the will bring it back
[35:41] to committee. I might suggest just as
[35:44] we're asking for that information that
[35:46] perhaps I don't know if there was a
[35:47] desire for an advance but I think
[35:49] because we are looking for some
[35:50] further information I might suggest
[35:53] that we that we not just that there's
[35:55] time to get that information so with
[35:57] that I'll leave it to the committee to
[35:59] decide. Mr. Chairman I move that
[36:22] ordinance Number one nine zero
[36:24] appreciate it. I'm sorry I missed I
[36:26] was I was just in the zone so I'm
[36:28] sorry three eyes in one very well
[36:31] thank you and I apologize for that
[36:36] oversight. All right um then the next
[36:37] actually seeing the timing of got a
[36:40] couple people who need to leave at a
[36:45] certain timeframe so Mr. Clerk will
[36:55] you go to item one nine zero for four
[36:57] and held in committee. Maybe
[36:59] substitute for his one eye zero four a
[37:01] for authorizing the Director of
[37:03] the neighborhoods and Housing Services
[37:05] department to execute both an
[37:06] amendment to the lease agreement with
[37:07] the party boats Incorporated for
[37:08] the purposes of operating a grocery
[37:12] store and then was shopping center and
[37:14] intimate to the lease agreement with
[37:15] shopping center initiative of the sea
[37:17] for the retail parcels at them they
[37:19] were shopping so I owe for
[37:20] the purposes of restructuring certain
[37:22] payments otherwise and director of
[37:23] Neighborhood Housing Services
[37:25] Department execute an amendment to
[37:29] the property management and
[37:30] maintenance agreement for the men were
[37:32] shopping center just a beginner with
[37:35] Lynwood Shopping Center Initiative llc
[37:36] and appropriating funds in the amount
[37:37] of three hundred and five thousand
[37:39] dollars for designated purposes
[37:43] related to the operation of the midway
[37:48] Shoppin Wood director of Neighborhood
[37:51] Services thank you for bring this up
[37:53] earlier. The purpose of this shop of
[37:57] this Owens is to recognize that
[37:58] the first company in the first of all
[38:02] we have just three staffers one year
[38:03] and a one year anniversary Lynwood
[38:04] Shopping Center and as you know
[38:08] the city made a tremendous investment
[38:09] in the Lynwood Shopping Center and is
[38:13] part of that investment we've been
[38:14] working on a long term bases with two
[38:16] entities one of those entities as
[38:20] the parsh markets in the other is
[38:21] the Lynwood Shopping Center Initiative
[38:25] which is basically here but Don Don
[38:27] Max will of the community as a spotter
[38:31] relationship we were attempting with
[38:32] the shop soon to address a food desert
[38:34] problem we also were attempting to
[38:40] address alone time this investment
[38:41] community were the number of people
[38:44] who migrated from the center city and
[38:46] loss lot of households in that area as
[38:51] a result of that created a tremendous
[38:52] economic gap and lead workshops in
[38:54] the area so the purpose of this
[38:55] ordinance basically is a hapless table
[38:58] as for the Lynwood Shopping Center
[38:59] Because as we discovered in
[39:01] the twenty anniversary there been some
[39:04] issues in terms of security in some
[39:06] other things and times are eaten and
[39:07] economies of scale to where
[39:12] the shopping center with the typically
[39:13] the Lynnwood some Fresh Market which
[39:17] is our largest tenant has undergone
[39:18] some some issues in town are just
[39:18] trying to meet its financial
[39:21] obligations to the city has also
[39:26] created an impact with the Lynwood
[39:27] Shopping Center Initiative The Maxwell
[39:28] Group who has a long term relationship
[39:32] with the city in terms of being a
[39:35] master lease lease or less less or a
[39:38] guess that job is to bring in all
[39:40] the tenants into the shopping center
[39:41] and make sure the retail shops are
[39:47] maintain loan term and to also had a
[39:48] proper management relationship with us
[39:50] which probably will in some time soon
[39:52] is the c I d has created has
[39:54] identified a new property manager but
[39:56] this has always been anticipated for
[40:00] this shopping soon. So in so what we
[40:03] discovered or to pace years that
[40:06] the Sun Fresh has as a city has
[40:09] undergone some some initial problems
[40:13] in time just because of financial
[40:13] obligations for the city so
[40:15] the purpose of this is to establish a
[40:16] land of credit with the sun fresh bank
[40:19] to shore that up the line of credit to
[40:22] ensure the long term operation and
[40:24] then the other part of this ordinance
[40:27] is to move at some financial relief to
[40:29] the Lynwood Shopping Center Initiative
[40:30] The Maxwell Group because they
[40:34] basically have had the burden of all
[40:36] the while the property management
[40:39] expenses over the past year and a half
[40:41] and basically had no relief and doing
[40:45] it so the purpose of this is to cover
[40:47] debt relief and put that in some some
[40:49] some assistance in that direction. All
[40:52] right thank you any questions or
[40:58] comments for Mr. Wood. No I do notes
[41:01] Representatives from the entities
[41:03] that use custom is to water here. I
[41:05] don't know if they have anything that
[41:09] they would care to add or or they May
[41:11] not want to sell past the sale as
[41:16] the old retailer would say um if not
[41:18] then I will ask if there's any I'm
[41:30] sorry in bonds this year and
[41:34] the examples as well. Well okay so in
[41:36] an operating a text message on
[41:37] Maxwell's you his son is here but he
[41:39] can talk about that but generally some
[41:42] of those expenses involved security
[41:45] and that's been our biggest expense
[41:48] ongoing maintenance of course of
[41:53] the parking lot of common area
[41:54] utilities. There's obviously
[41:55] management fees and those type things
[42:01] accounting that goes into that looks
[42:03] at parking lots. Those kinds of
[42:05] landscaping except for those those
[42:10] type of expenses missed Max will say
[42:14] anything more boring. I don't tax one
[42:14] half in which ups the initiative. I
[42:16] don't have too much to add essentially
[42:19] gap occurred our property management
[42:21] service agreement simply expired in
[42:23] June of last year but we continue to
[42:25] maintain the shopping center paying
[42:29] all the expenses related to security
[42:32] landscaping exterior lighting ground
[42:34] grounds keeping. Keep in the shops and
[42:36] clean and so forth without any
[42:41] additional reimbursement so by
[42:43] essentially having forty seven percent
[42:45] of the totally space we've been paying
[42:46] hundred percent of the operating cost
[42:49] so that essentially an attempt to
[42:52] reimburse us for for four for fifty
[42:53] three percent of those operating costs
[42:55] that we've we've incurred over
[42:57] the past year and then give also
[42:58] the grocery store an opportunity to
[43:02] catch up in those in those maintenance
[43:07] payment payments to so that we can
[43:11] stabilize ongoing match that figure
[43:19] counts McManus. As we mentioned
[43:21] the eyes were on the grass the finance
[43:24] department to handle that when he's on
[43:27] the morning morning Mr. Chairman is
[43:28] pretty regular sinus apartment
[43:29] the latter credit that's being
[43:31] discussed really isn't one of credit
[43:33] with the city what we're talking about
[43:36] here is the city in this case would
[43:38] make a time deposit in the bank that
[43:40] provides a line of credit to
[43:42] the grocer we would secure that line
[43:44] of credit with our deposit our deposit
[43:47] effective we would be at risk it to be
[43:49] used. Our expectation is that would be
[43:51] used in order to offset some of these
[43:52] extraordinary costs that were are not
[43:56] being covered so that this word of how
[43:59] it would work. Typically we don't make
[44:01] deposits that aren't secured notes
[44:03] it's kind of an unusual situation for
[44:05] the city we have precedent for doing
[44:07] this and passed out with some other
[44:09] projects to clean a project eighteenth
[44:11] vine couple other projects we've done
[44:17] this inordinary effort to support a
[44:18] major investment city in this case for
[44:22] the grocery store so that's that sort
[44:26] of the background for the right way
[44:28] basically you know one accredited
[44:29] we're not a party line of credit but
[44:31] we would provide the collateral for
[44:34] the line of credit and with the city
[44:35] deposit effectively in deposit would
[44:37] be at risk in to the extent that
[44:38] the line was drawn on our deposit
[44:44] would be used and for that purpose. I
[44:46] think it counts McManus any other
[44:48] questions if not then are there any is
[44:52] there any testimony for ordinance one
[44:55] nine zero for the war are seeking a
[44:58] substitute for the summer ones are for
[45:00] it for seeing none is there a
[45:01] committee recommendation as Mr.
[45:02] Chairman I move the committee
[45:03] substitute ordinance Number one nine
[45:05] zero four eight four b Report of
[45:08] Committee with the recommendation of
[45:10] the density pass it has been in second

[45:19] saying not all in favor signify by
[45:23] saying I I I oppose motion passes will
[45:26] hear this tomorrow. Thank you very
[45:28] much and I will will note that this is
[45:31] an illustration of why it's not
[45:33] exactly easy to do economic
[45:35] development on the side with anyone
[45:36] who thinks it's simple I think this
[45:39] illustrates that it's not our right
[45:43] Mr. The top of the order two one nine zero

[46:24] Chairman And committee members mag in
[46:25] Craig Art Director of Creative
[46:28] Services and to my right in a sting
[46:29] leap the neighborhood tourist
[46:33] Development Fund Committee chair Tom
[46:35] were here before you to brief you on
[46:36] the selection process for the most
[46:39] recent application cycle second
[46:43] quarter and to present the committee's
[47:06] funding recommendations which support
[47:07] which will support projects starting
[47:08] August first until the end of
[47:09] the fiscal year April thirtieth. Out
[47:09] we received fifteen fifty one
[47:10] applications all were deemed eligible
[47:11] to move forward to the committee where
[47:12] they then met with the applicants and
[47:13] did deliberation we did see a twenty
[47:13] five percent increase in applications
[47:14] in the second quarter and there were
[47:15] so out of that process there were
[47:17] thirty six organizations recommended
[47:20] for funding for a total amount of
[47:22] eight hundred and thirty six one
[47:24] hundred thirteen hundred thirty six
[47:25] thousand one hundred dollars
[47:28] The cutoff score was determined to be
[47:31] eighty five the list of organizations
[47:34] recommended for funding are or
[47:36] provided to you by memo yesterday's
[47:39] email and then is again before you
[47:41] today. Part of the last presentation
[47:46] was for the annual cycle and we
[47:48] offered to bring forward to you
[47:51] Presentation of the status of
[47:54] the financial status of neighborhoods
[47:56] Development Fund. So if you will
[47:58] permit me I'm gonna just run through a
[48:07] couple of slides I can figure it out
[48:25] and this is just a reminder of that
[48:34] with that network you know that there
[48:36] are there yet and there we can roll
[48:38] the wheel thank you for my learning
[48:41] curve on technology and just a
[48:43] reminder to those who are watching
[48:44] the purpose of the neighbor tourist
[48:46] Development Fund is to promote Kansas
[48:47] City neighborhoods through a variety
[48:51] of activities cultural social ethnic
[48:53] historic educational and it's an
[48:55] indication that the city isn't
[48:56] investing in activities that are
[48:58] mission driven to provide quality
[49:02] experience to its audience audiences
[49:05] and also to reinforce that Missouri is
[49:07] unique in that it recognizes
[49:09] the diversity of disciplines and types
[49:11] of activities that might appeal to
[49:14] visitors and tourists. We recognize
[49:16] the diversity of events that create a
[49:18] well rounded city in the way of
[49:21] options for what we do when you live
[49:23] or visiting Kansas City just taking a
[49:25] look over last year there've been some
[49:28] great successes to report
[49:29] the investment in these activities
[49:31] that activate neighborhoods and rock
[49:34] tourism has had an impact using
[49:36] the calculator of the Arts Economic
[49:38] prosperity study were able to measure
[49:41] and estimate of almost seventy million
[49:44] dollars in economic impact based on
[49:47] organization and audience spending and
[49:50] then over eight hundred full time
[49:53] employment jobs were also able to
[49:54] track through the final reports that
[49:56] it's attracted about one point five
[49:59] million people both residents and
[50:01] tourists to these activities. This is
[50:05] a quick snap shot a five year history
[50:10] Looking at the comparison of
[50:12] available I'd opted or appropriated
[50:15] dollars available for these nonprofit
[50:17] organizations that's the bottom line
[50:20] and then the top line represents
[50:22] the applicant requests to Mount si can
[50:24] see there's always a higher demand
[50:28] than there is available funding. So
[50:29] this is and continues to be
[50:32] competitive process but we do find a
[50:35] steady increase in that in that
[50:37] request amount and that's of course
[50:40] given to the increase in number of
[50:42] applications. So how I want to thank
[50:44] the finance department because we were
[50:46] able to meet yesterday so these are
[50:50] very much real time numbers a little
[50:52] bit of apples to oranges that I want
[50:55] to point out that this is looking at
[50:57] last year's adopted budget at one
[50:59] point seven and then the actual
[51:01] revenue that was collected to
[51:03] the projection was slightly higher
[51:05] than what was protected leaving about
[51:08] a sixty seven thousand dollars
[51:10] shortfall. I've listed here what
[51:12] the approved expenditures were based
[51:16] on each cycle the annual in second
[51:18] third and fourth place an additional
[51:20] appropriation. So as of last year
[51:22] there was a twenty eight thousand
[51:24] dollar deficit and I'm happy to report
[51:26] though that in the current fiscal year
[51:29] Given the adopted budget and then
[51:32] what was transferred both the annual
[51:34] and then if approved the second
[51:37] quarter application the cycle eight
[51:38] hundred and thirty six thousand one
[51:40] hundred dollars and then factoring in
[51:42] that twenty eight thousand dollar
[51:46] deficit puts us in a surplus of three
[51:47] thousand dollars Now obviously
[51:49] the committee and we are very
[51:52] interested in size by offering that
[51:53] and seeing at least a ten percent to
[51:57] help to account for any lost
[51:59] collection based on projections. So we
[52:01] do hope to see that increase and it
[52:03] was the committee that voted to
[52:05] suspend third and fourth quarters of
[52:09] this fiscal year to help us get to
[52:12] that mark so if you have anything to
[52:16] add tuna to that. Ok so I'm also real
[52:19] quick snapshot. Given this is kind of
[52:20] a closing of a term I want to
[52:22] recognize the work of the entity of
[52:24] committee of the past couple of years
[52:26] they've worked tremendously hard and
[52:29] looking at ways to improve and make
[52:31] more transparent dependable and
[52:32] equitable the process. This is just
[52:34] some outcomes from the committee
[52:37] retreat over the last four years in
[52:40] fact they met recently in April in
[52:43] twenty nineteen to go over at
[52:45] additional improvements that they will
[52:46] then pass on recommendations to
[52:49] the future incoming committee. So just
[52:53] a few highlights on that as creating
[52:54] or consolidating the two step
[52:57] application process we now have
[52:59] application and guidelines and
[53:02] detailed instructions on line
[53:03] application system implementing
[53:07] the evaluation and scoring Matrix and
[53:09] then just very recently with the help
[53:14] of the procurement office getting on
[53:16] to talk you signed and digital
[53:18] signatures which the applicants are
[53:19] the contractors are extremely pleased
[53:23] about that though if you have anything
[53:25] to add about the retreats and ok and
[53:26] we're done here up. Well actually two
[53:27] more slides one thing their office has
[53:30] been able to provide over the past
[53:32] couple of years and no one to
[53:34] recognize can swallow cruises Arts
[53:36] Marketing Coordinator in working with
[53:38] each of our over two hundred
[53:41] contractors to find other ways to help
[53:42] and leverage the marketing and
[53:47] promotion of their events getting onto
[53:49] the screen streetcar kiosk using with
[53:51] their help their images in their
[53:53] language. I'm thinking about
[53:54] the different city channels that we
[53:57] can utilize to help then also promote
[54:01] like we said our webpage at Channel
[54:02] two interviews to highlight some of
[54:05] our organizations and the City Hall
[54:08] lobby directory and then last slide
[54:09] for those who are listening and want
[54:12] to know more or are interested we have
[54:13] kicked off our summer application
[54:16] applicant workshops we had our first
[54:18] one on Monday at the Shoal Creek
[54:21] Regional Police Academy the next one
[54:23] is Tuesday July sixteenth and that
[54:26] will be at the East Patrol station we
[54:29] have a total of five. The deadline for
[54:32] the next application cycle will be
[54:33] October fifteen. That's only three
[54:35] months away so that's a great time for
[54:37] planning and encourage everyone to
[54:39] come tech staff if they have some
[54:42] ideas so that concludes my
[54:46] presentation. Okay I think that
[54:48] schools like we got our eye very well
[54:59] Questions or comments from committee
[55:06] members has that ever happened if
[55:09] the This was the first time on my
[55:11] watch but apparently it as it was
[55:12] quite frequent. Prior to twenty
[55:14] sixteen it so I couldn't really speak
[55:16] to the frequency of one point of
[55:18] clarification or suspending them not
[55:20] canceling if an unforeseen reason we
[55:25] do come across additional funds we did
[55:30] want to make that clear that it's not
[55:31] canceled or suspended fourth quarter
[55:42] was kind of for lack of funds because
[55:44] of his death was for lack of funds
[55:45] correct question that happened before
[56:01] how often does that happen to know Mr.
[56:04] Landis or are just using it. Scott
[56:07] using a commencement budget will have
[56:08] to get back to you. Barnes on
[56:10] the frequency with which it occurred
[56:13] that has occurred in the past of what
[56:14] essentially happens to the budget
[56:17] process we we estimate toll
[56:20] collections of the hotel motel taxes
[56:23] which of which this fund is a function
[56:25] do the if it's essentially ten percent
[56:27] of those proceeds the collections came
[56:29] in sight is slightly below the fy
[56:31] nineteen estimate that's the reason
[56:33] this year that the commies had to go
[56:35] back and re just as allocation based
[56:39] on actual collections for the year
[56:40] that just ended in nineteen that has
[56:42] happened before in the most recent
[56:44] years up until really fiscal year
[56:46] nineteen hotel motel had been
[56:48] experiencing quite a boom in growth
[56:51] really so I'm growing sick seven
[56:53] percent a year which was almost
[56:54] unheard of so enjoyed a relatively
[56:58] good time from about this two years
[57:01] fourteen through eighteen essentially
[57:04] aot of projects even above
[57:04] the adopt a budget during that time so
[57:09] we're essentially catching up now and
[57:11] as his greatness lies in the case
[57:12] We've got back to the point where
[57:14] the fun this has met the collections
[57:17] for really the last five years. Again
[57:18] I don't know how many times it
[57:21] happened prior to fiscal year fourteen
[57:23] We can try and research for you but
[57:25] it has happened before in the budget
[57:27] is an estimate usually get pretty
[57:30] close but sometimes you know we're
[57:32] plus or minus a few sky. If you would
[57:36] mind maybe just for a procedural
[57:38] standpoint just kind of go into how we
[57:40] set that number on the budget when you
[57:42] say when that when the tax comes in
[57:45] and can you get a little more granular
[57:47] as to when that tax comes in when we
[57:50] start seeing those numbers how we see
[57:53] those numbers sure so we set feet all
[57:56] the collections for the hotel motel
[57:59] taxes and let stand three budget
[58:01] process city through the revenue
[58:03] division collects hotel motel taxes
[58:05] monthly there is about two month delay
[58:06] in that process from the time
[58:08] the hotels report and collect the time
[58:11] we get in the city but we do collect
[58:14] those monthly and center at the end of
[58:16] each cycle each fiscal year our office
[58:18] goes back and works with the accounts
[58:21] the vision to adjust to axles so
[58:23] generally in June of each year we'll
[58:24] go back to see how much was actually
[58:26] collected during the year. Adjust
[58:29] accordingly. And that's that's one of
[58:31] the reasons that were here before you
[58:40] today forget thinking is that one of
[58:42] the question is the host of the open
[58:46] spaces and are not meeting coming
[58:49] anywhere near meeting our projected
[58:55] revenues on that that that have an
[58:58] effect on the is the cure for it to
[58:59] the supplemental appropriation at
[59:00] the end of the last fiscal year is
[59:08] three hundred fifty thousand I faint
[59:09] three seventy five though that they
[59:10] came from the general fund so that
[59:14] that that that increased some of
[59:15] the supplemental appropriation to not
[59:18] come from India proceeds the at
[59:20] the initial two fifty was in fiscal
[59:22] year sixteen seventeen I believe and
[59:25] that was that did come out of
[59:26] the entity of appropriation as
[59:27] recommended by the committee and
[59:30] approved by City Council in the second
[59:33] iteration was not did not come out of
[59:37] the into df funding line as adopted by
[59:39] the council so it was fy sixteen
[59:42] seventeen at the recommendation of
[59:45] counsel when at the recommendation of
[59:46] the committee when the two can do
[59:47] right but that did not come out of
[59:50] the appropriated the adopted into
[59:54] the f line funding line right at
[59:55] the numbers I'm showing here are
[59:58] the line item that was designated for
[1:00:10] into df for the committee to oversee
[1:00:14] its second trout its sixteen seventeen
[1:00:15] of seventeen eighteen. Those dollars
[1:00:19] were taken out of them. And yes that's
[1:00:20] great was it that went to the council
[1:00:24] process rights right budget process
[1:00:27] does not impact its not impacting this
[1:00:37] last year's deficit or the current
[1:00:39] year. Ok any other questions or
[1:00:42] comments from committee is there any
[1:00:44] testimony for ordinance one nine zero
[1:00:50] five to six and the mass Miss Trigger
[1:00:52] does this need to be advanced not sure
[1:00:54] how soon you've got some of these
[1:00:56] events company has thank you for
[1:00:58] reminding me we do need and I would
[1:01:00] request in advance we have five
[1:01:02] organizations with events in August
[1:01:06] and eight or nine in September so
[1:01:07] contracting carried as critical very
[1:01:09] well thank you is either a committee
[1:01:10] recommendation. Yes Mr. Chairman I
[1:01:12] move that ordinance Number one nine
[1:01:17] zero five to sixty reporters Committee

[1:01:19] pass it has been moved and seconded
[1:01:20] the tortoise won nine zero five to six
[1:01:22] passed on a committee with
[1:01:23] the recommendation of advancing to
[1:01:25] pass is there any discussion on that
[1:01:27] motion saying not all in favor signify
[1:01:31] by saying aye aye opposed to this
[1:01:35] tomorrow. Thank you both very much Mr.
[1:01:37] Kirk next item please release of stew
[1:01:39] for this one I zero five three to
[1:01:44] appropriating five million hundred
[1:01:44] nine thousand two hundred and ninety
[1:01:46] dollars and sixty six cent from
[1:01:48] the operator from arterial street
[1:01:50] impact fee funds to various
[1:01:58] contingency accounts and designating
[1:01:59] exposition Authority the morning
[1:02:01] morning because ask you the awesome
[1:02:04] Management Budget have with me
[1:02:07] Westerners images of this ordinance
[1:02:09] you have before you is to follow in a
[1:02:11] long process of analyzing actual
[1:02:12] street impact fee in the collection of
[1:02:14] those fees. This ordinance is meant to
[1:02:17] appropriate those fees to their
[1:02:19] designated district for its revenue
[1:02:20] was collected previously the revenue
[1:02:22] to fund balance of funds spent for
[1:02:24] the end of the year this would correct
[1:02:26] that and starting a process of trading
[1:02:28] up those fees to the district they
[1:02:32] belong. For better and quicker
[1:02:35] tracking mine to add to to that that
[1:02:36] there've been some projects so that I
[1:02:41] think of the subject of the committee
[1:02:41] substitute the l a Mr. Minter going to
[1:02:44] before in a moment where the use of
[1:02:46] the impact fees would be very hopeful
[1:02:48] course of the impact fee history goes
[1:02:52] back I believe to the early nineties I
[1:02:54] see a couple of my friends out there
[1:02:58] who probably remember when the impact
[1:03:00] fee process was started to help
[1:03:02] facilitate further development in
[1:03:04] the areas of those impact fees were
[1:03:07] collected as understand from staff
[1:03:08] the impact the committees haven't met
[1:03:13] for I think three years so it's kind
[1:03:15] of height time to get these fees
[1:03:19] analyze adopted in moving in that
[1:03:19] direction and I think that's part
[1:03:20] the reason why you have the committee
[1:03:23] substitute which I will I will say to
[1:03:26] the committee are the reason why you
[1:03:27] have this committee substitute is I've
[1:03:30] got some projects in the north and
[1:03:32] the need to get finished and we these
[1:03:34] are proper uses for some of these fees
[1:03:36] but Allah Mr. Minter go into some
[1:03:40] detail on those projects so Mr. Minter
[1:03:41] a good morning Karen Wagner members
[1:03:43] committee was major city manager's
[1:03:46] office. As noted Committee sub we
[1:03:48] would be allocating funds from
[1:03:50] the impact fee District d which
[1:03:51] the Birmingham district to the North
[1:03:53] Brighton Project in Pleasant Valley
[1:03:55] Road project we open up bids for
[1:03:57] construction on North Brighton from
[1:03:59] fifty St Pleasant Valley Road which
[1:04:02] will finish that southern half of that
[1:04:03] court approved the intersection of
[1:04:06] Pleasant Valley Road and the bids were
[1:04:08] opened and they were little bit higher
[1:04:10] than the anticipated budget so these
[1:04:12] funds allocated to that project will
[1:04:15] provide funding for that project that
[1:04:18] will help us allow the Works award a
[1:04:19] contract you're in the next month to
[1:04:21] begin work on that its twelve million
[1:04:23] dollars project with Clarkson
[1:04:25] Construction. It also includes twenty
[1:04:27] four inch water main extension which
[1:04:31] will better serve the water tear up in
[1:04:33] the area up there and also we are
[1:04:35] allocating funding to close Valley
[1:04:40] Road which is just east of the north
[1:04:42] side project we have a structurally
[1:04:43] it's not structurally deficient yet
[1:04:44] but it will be structurally deficient
[1:04:47] the next five years and so the funding
[1:04:49] for that project will oust is
[1:04:50] beginning to finalize the engineering
[1:04:53] plans so that we can be prepared to
[1:04:54] seek federal funds or other additional
[1:04:57] funds to improve that core door and
[1:04:59] that will finish kind of a missing
[1:05:00] link in the Pleasant Valley Road cord
[1:05:03] or between Gladstone and the Police
[1:05:05] Academy in Pleasant Valley. So eleven
[1:05:07] improve city street with sidewalks
[1:05:09] iPad trail which will provide safer
[1:05:11] and better access to Pauls Valley Park
[1:05:13] in for people that are trying to get
[1:05:15] through the area while also know for
[1:05:17] the benefit of the committee is we
[1:05:18] talk about the North Brighton Project
[1:05:20] the primary funding source for that
[1:05:22] has been the Shoal Creek Tiff and so
[1:05:25] this will help us deal with the rest
[1:05:29] of those issues associated with that
[1:05:31] without violence or anything for
[1:05:32] the gentleman that I will open it up
[1:05:37] to the Committee for any questions or
[1:05:47] comments. Councilman Barnes
[1:05:50] historically impact fees in general
[1:05:51] the gym. Generally speaking
[1:05:53] the purpose of the impact fees has
[1:05:57] been to help two more additional
[1:05:58] infrastructure development in
[1:05:59] the areas with the developments
[1:06:03] occurred so with the idea that if
[1:06:07] there's a Development's development in
[1:06:10] general and the idea is that you don't
[1:06:12] necessarily punish the first developer
[1:06:15] in the area or the last developer in
[1:06:18] the area as development occurs you're
[1:06:23] collecting those impact fees so for
[1:06:25] example when when planning and zoning
[1:06:27] when when you have been kind enough to
[1:06:30] allow us to build more housing in
[1:06:32] the Northland as an example of those
[1:06:34] how those houses are being built or
[1:06:37] impact fees are paid on each of those
[1:06:38] lots know those locks get accumulated
[1:06:40] for the purpose of helping to build
[1:06:44] out the infrastructure as that builds
[1:06:47] out and so beyond that I'll let Mr.
[1:06:50] Colby or let Mr. Using speak to kind
[1:06:55] of how that's been treated but you
[1:06:56] terribly but that's been kind of
[1:06:59] the reason why those exist except that
[1:07:00] what the fees have been the same fun
[1:07:04] since I believe two thousand and three
[1:07:05] and that that process the collection
[1:07:07] of the fees has not changed was
[1:07:09] happened over the years as this is
[1:07:12] essentially those fees for each of
[1:07:14] the district about that right arm of
[1:07:16] essentially gone off budget so this
[1:07:18] for our purposes the cleanup ordinance
[1:07:20] that brings the balances for each of
[1:07:23] those districts back on budget so that
[1:07:25] they are there. Each district is
[1:07:26] tracked in the financial system of
[1:07:28] the city that staff and council have
[1:07:31] access to those balances effectively
[1:07:33] in real time rather than just pooled
[1:07:36] in the it's just re
[1:07:38] establishing the balances for each
[1:07:40] district. There are elections are
[1:07:42] the same place have always been a
[1:07:43] Councilman Lawrence him back in each
[1:07:46] each distinct district they're put in
[1:07:47] or add their own separate revenue
[1:07:49] funding than what we've done in
[1:07:50] the past is each time we've done a
[1:07:52] district we done a separate ordinance
[1:07:54] allocated from the revenue side that
[1:07:55] are collected in into the actual
[1:07:58] capital project count that staff can
[1:08:04] use to charge construction or design
[1:08:06] to any other questions accounts
[1:08:14] McManus message to the track changes
[1:08:20] it's simply moving the bombing of
[1:08:21] the projects mentioned the funds that
[1:08:23] are as mentioned those are staying
[1:08:26] intact. So if you look on the sheet
[1:08:28] there I think impact the District g is
[1:08:30] the South District which is south of
[1:08:34] here Bannister Road or eighty seven St
[1:08:35] That would be the available funds for
[1:08:36] that district to use to allocate
[1:08:39] towards projects and then like
[1:08:44] District f which is the East impact
[1:08:46] the district covers basically from
[1:08:48] Blue River Road out to Lee's Summit
[1:08:50] Road in that would be the available
[1:08:51] funding that would be available for
[1:08:56] tours arterial street impacts in those
[1:09:01] geographic areas the representatives
[1:09:04] or people who are in the process. Yes
[1:09:07] we have changeover an impact
[1:09:08] the administrator about for five years
[1:09:10] ago and so with the economy being
[1:09:13] the way it was we weren't generating
[1:09:14] enough ease but now that we've had
[1:09:16] the growth that we've had the fund
[1:09:18] balances get a substantial level to
[1:09:19] where we actually can start doing
[1:09:21] things so one of the things we do need
[1:09:24] to do with the new mayor and council
[1:09:26] coming in is we need to get with each
[1:09:28] council member in Reese tablets
[1:09:34] the appointees to those districts are
[1:09:36] the things that I think. For all
[1:09:38] intensive purposes and from speaking
[1:09:40] out of turn tell me really
[1:09:43] the occupants of each of those
[1:09:45] the impact fee districts have really
[1:09:47] been staff for the most part is that
[1:09:50] correct. Yeah the ordinance. I can't
[1:09:52] find it specifically that your dance
[1:09:53] essentially reads that they'll be a
[1:09:56] city council appointee pie eight
[1:09:58] member a member of the respective
[1:09:59] chamber commerce or economic
[1:10:02] development council for the area
[1:10:04] residential developer a commercial
[1:10:08] developer and then somebody from parks
[1:10:10] works of City Planning and
[1:10:12] Development and twenty from the city
[1:10:15] manager in each district so it's it is
[1:10:17] weighted with staff but there is some
[1:10:19] private participation in those
[1:10:24] discussions Miss Jones I know you have
[1:10:26] come forward morning as Chairman Or
[1:10:27] Vice Governor's Committee Doug Jones
[1:10:28] the auditor's office just to let
[1:10:29] the Camino we did an audit on
[1:10:30] the arterial street impact fees a
[1:10:32] couple of years ago we made some
[1:10:36] recommendations because we identified
[1:10:37] the way is currently operating was
[1:10:39] unsustainable and the contractors were
[1:10:41] able to use the bill to lose credits
[1:10:45] more so than paying into the accounts
[1:10:46] and know that they are planning is
[1:10:51] looking at how we want to go with
[1:10:52] the arterial street fees going forward
[1:10:53] so there's some work going on looking
[1:10:55] at the city since these have not been
[1:10:57] really looked at since between ninety
[1:11:01] eight and two thousand and one son
[1:11:01] just wanted to let you know and I will
[1:11:03] send you links to the audit report for

[1:14:11] thank you Mr. Kirk next item please
[1:14:12] zero five for one resolution
[1:14:13] expressing the council's support for
[1:14:15] Operation Green Light of the Mid
[1:14:18] America Regional Council to develop a
[1:14:19] process that evaluates the current
[1:14:22] system and new technology available
[1:14:24] for traffic signal synchronization on
[1:14:28] Missouri State Highway one fifty two
[1:14:30] from Shoal Creek Parkway to the limits
[1:14:32] of Kansas City adjacent to the City of
[1:14:36] Liberty the submission
[1:14:38] of a corresponding budget I love least
[1:14:40] take the blame for this resolution
[1:14:43] coming forward I will suggest that as
[1:14:44] this council been very interested in
[1:14:47] one of our first projects in our
[1:14:51] general obligation bond package was a
[1:14:53] signal synchronization on Broadway
[1:14:56] that's we have another opportunity to
[1:14:59] push the new technology around that
[1:15:02] head with the gentlemen good morning
[1:15:04] or late you present good morning
[1:15:05] Chairman Wyatt remembers the committee
[1:15:06] was bitter see manager's office with
[1:15:11] me is way son from works department
[1:15:12] and what this resolution would allow
[1:15:15] us to do would be to request or Mid
[1:15:17] America Regional Council expansion of
[1:15:19] the Operation Green Light system that
[1:15:23] would include one fifty two cord or
[1:15:25] the one fifty two chord or has had
[1:15:29] some efficiency issues being a high
[1:15:31] speed facility that then dumps into a
[1:15:32] commercialized area with lots of
[1:15:35] stoplights and so we have added a two
[1:15:38] stop lights low net cord or was some
[1:15:40] access management changes with Mo dot
[1:15:43] in the last ten years and so we are
[1:15:45] constructing an improvement on
[1:15:48] the interchange at I thirty five in
[1:15:49] deliveries constructing an improvement
[1:15:51] on the Kansas side which we're
[1:15:52] partnering with them through the Shoal
[1:15:54] Creek tip for million and half dollars
[1:15:56] on a twenty five million dollar
[1:15:57] projects it's pretty good return on
[1:15:59] our investment in that core door and
[1:16:01] so what we like to do is one set
[1:16:03] projects done. We like them in America
[1:16:05] Regional Council to expand
[1:16:06] the operation green light systems of
[1:16:10] the signals would actually talk to
[1:16:11] each other in so that we could better
[1:16:14] manage the flow and try to get us all
[1:16:15] the traffic problem there but at least
[1:16:19] make it little more efficient for a
[1:16:24] twenty hours of the day with onion and
[1:16:25] anything I don't have any comments are
[1:16:26] very well. I will add Tulsa for
[1:16:28] the benefit of the committee that
[1:16:30] tomorrow we will have a meeting of
[1:16:32] the Shoal Creek to if tomorrow and
[1:16:35] it'll be my intention to add a
[1:16:37] budgetary line item within its budget
[1:16:40] to help defer costs that's at the Mid
[1:16:41] America Regional Council May have both
[1:16:44] in terms of its study and then
[1:16:46] the execution. I will note and I think
[1:16:48] Mr. Minter was also very charitable
[1:16:52] when he talked about the traffic
[1:16:55] congestion issues within that core
[1:16:59] door you know it's bad enough because
[1:17:00] not a bridge but for most people I
[1:17:01] think when there even was a bridge. It
[1:17:03] was pretty bad and needs some
[1:17:05] assistance so with that I will ask if
[1:17:08] there's any questions or comments from
[1:17:11] committee is really pout testimony
[1:17:15] for resolution one nine zero five for
[1:17:18] one Mr. Glover is a big champion of
[1:17:22] thumbs up
[1:17:22] but I find it hard to believe that's
[1:17:29] all you want to do maturing into
[1:17:32] account. I think it's good resolution
[1:17:34] urged passage. Thank you very much Mr.
[1:17:36] Glover it's always good to see a Is
[1:17:38] there any missing no further
[1:17:40] discussion is or to any recommendation
[1:17:42] Yes Mr. Chairman I move that
[1:17:44] resolution number one nine zero five
[1:17:46] for one report out of committee with
[1:17:48] the recommendation of immediate
[1:17:50] adoption it has moved and seconded
[1:17:52] the resolution of one nine zero five
[1:17:54] for one should be passed up a
[1:17:55] committee with recommendation of
[1:17:57] immediate adoption is a discussion on
[1:17:59] the motion hearing not all a favor
[1:18:02] signify by saying I suppose we will
[1:18:07] hear this tomorrow. Thank you very
[1:18:09] much in one last item committee
[1:18:10] substitute ordinance one nine zero
[1:18:13] three three six authorizing City
[1:18:15] Manager enter into agreement with
[1:18:18] the tax increment financing Commission
[1:18:19] for sanitary sewer line project along
[1:18:21] North Arlington Avenue appropriating
[1:18:22] one point six million in fine Number
[1:18:26] three three zero nine zero the capital
[1:18:28] improvement fund am recognizing this
[1:18:30] ordinance is having an accelerated
[1:18:31] effective date will know for
[1:18:32] the committee and those watching that
[1:18:34] so we held this a couple of weeks ago
[1:18:36] at the request the city manager to
[1:18:38] make some changes might assume those
[1:18:40] changes have been done and thus missed
[1:18:42] using you are here this morning good
[1:18:44] morning. They have a morning Scott
[1:18:47] using it again from Budget Office and
[1:18:49] pitching for the city manager today to
[1:18:53] be a off site function but it's
[1:18:54] the idyllic me sub before you before
[1:18:55] one twenty three three six
[1:18:57] The committee's sub allocate
[1:18:58] the appropriate one point six million
[1:19:01] dollars from the un appropriate fund
[1:19:03] balance of the capital improvement
[1:19:07] sales tax to support affirmation sewer
[1:19:10] projects in the north Arlington area
[1:19:12] for the development that's proposed in
[1:19:14] the north and Council District one and
[1:19:18] this would allow the project proceed
[1:19:22] without any any funding from
[1:19:23] the enterprise fund would be a
[1:19:24] straight fund balance appropriation
[1:19:27] that the general fund would be through
[1:19:29] or swim in future years to recoup
[1:19:32] utilities taxes so I believe that's
[1:19:35] members of the development team here a
[1:19:38] few questions about the project itself
[1:19:39] but again the committee's sub uses
[1:19:41] fund balance of the cap open sales tax
[1:19:48] and I think we are regular summit and
[1:19:49] did I get I hear you correctly. Scott
[1:19:51] cut the backing of that is from
[1:19:54] utility tax generation or not directly
[1:19:56] project itself would be funded with
[1:19:59] the with the camper when sales tax
[1:20:01] fund and each is the project is
[1:20:03] expected to generate utility tax
[1:20:05] revenue the project and that would
[1:20:07] benefit the general fund under
[1:20:10] the future years. Gotcha Okay I do
[1:20:12] note the folks involved with this
[1:20:14] project are here if you wish to say
[1:20:18] anything particular to the project or
[1:20:23] not Mr. Bauer surely you your bill and
[1:20:25] someone for the smiles will say
[1:20:29] something. Thank you Jim Bauer chef on
[1:20:32] Midwest and Mr. Schmidt is also here
[1:20:33] to have fun and just like to follow
[1:20:36] the lead of former City Councilman Jim
[1:20:38] Glover and say I'm simply here to
[1:20:41] support the ordinance will answer
[1:20:43] the question of very well very well
[1:20:44] Are there any questions questions or
[1:20:47] comments from committee saying Israeli
[1:20:49] testimony for committee substitute
[1:20:52] for December one nine zero three three
[1:20:55] six seeing on a committee
[1:20:56] recommendation. Yes Mr. Chairman I
[1:20:57] move that committee substitute for
[1:20:58] ordinance Number one nine zero three
[1:21:00] three sixty report out of committee
[1:21:02] with the recommendation of advancing
[1:21:06] to pass it has been seconded
[1:21:07] the committee substitute for December
[1:21:08] one nine zero three three six who
[1:21:09] passed a committee with recommendation
[1:21:11] of advancing to pass is there a
[1:21:13] discussion on a motion hearing on all
[1:21:16] in favor signify by saying I I pose
[1:21:19] this tomorrow. Thank you very much. I
[1:21:21] do notes that we have gone not listed
[1:21:23] under semi annual docket that there's
[1:21:25] a listing of items that have been
[1:21:26] provided. I understand that we have
[1:21:29] only one item on the semi annual
[1:21:33] docket which we will intend to dispose
[1:21:35] of next week but for those who are
[1:21:36] watching go check out the semi annual
[1:21:38] docket lots of what really is nothing
[1:21:40] exciting in there from this this
[1:21:43] committee but you're welcome to look
[1:21:44] at anyway. We do have one item of
[1:21:46] additional business. Very briefly Mr.
[1:21:50] Burke if you read that item please
[1:21:53] update from the mayor's pension task
[1:22:00] force who wants to take this one
[1:22:01] The Rock Paper scissors happening. I
[1:22:04] did see that was kind of like that. I
[1:22:06] always win but every time. Good
[1:22:08] morning there protecting members of
[1:22:09] the committee team equipment
[1:22:11] the finance department the pension
[1:22:12] the mayor's pension task force has
[1:22:16] continued to meet and they met on last
[1:22:19] Monday. This past Monday. Most
[1:22:20] recently and what they're doing is
[1:22:23] working through a list of
[1:22:24] recommendations that they would like
[1:22:27] to make the consultant expects to
[1:22:31] provide its final report next. I think
[1:22:33] Tuesday is when the anticipated
[1:22:35] delivery date of that report is and
[1:22:37] the final meeting of the task force
[1:22:39] where they sort of vote on all of
[1:22:40] the recommendations that are under
[1:22:42] consideration will be July the twenty
[1:22:44] second. That's when its anticipated so
[1:22:45] some of the things that they're
[1:22:46] talking about right now is a revision
[1:22:49] to the city's pension funding policy
[1:22:51] we don't really have a formal one that
[1:22:53] we have a de facto funding policy that
[1:22:54] I think you've heard about several
[1:22:57] times from each of us relative to
[1:23:00] paying the required actuarial required
[1:23:03] contribution that's by law by city
[1:23:05] ordinance and state law we have to do
[1:23:09] that the top d edits that they want to
[1:23:10] make or that the additions to a
[1:23:12] potential funding policy for pensions
[1:23:15] would be to maybe have an amount over
[1:23:17] and above that the city would consider
[1:23:19] funding May be and when there's a year
[1:23:20] when there's additional revenue when
[1:23:25] there's additional fund balance
[1:23:26] perhaps we put in a little bit more
[1:23:27] using some more conservative
[1:23:28] assumptions that we would have
[1:23:29] the pension fund's actuary is
[1:23:32] calculate for us and basically hand us
[1:23:34] a bill that says this is what you
[1:23:36] legally oh and then an additional bill
[1:23:37] that says you could pay this
[1:23:39] additional amount should you choose to
[1:23:42] do so and that in that wait May be
[1:23:44] closing that gap on our eight hundred
[1:23:45] million dollars which our current
[1:23:47] eight hundred million dollars of
[1:23:49] unfunded liability. So that's one of
[1:23:51] the things that they're talking about
[1:23:53] they're also perhaps put forward some
[1:23:55] May be potential changes to the cost
[1:23:58] of living adjustments for pensioners
[1:24:01] and for perhaps current right retirees
[1:24:06] as well as future retirees and am
[1:24:08] trying to think of if I've missed
[1:24:09] among us. Oh yes it May perhaps a
[1:24:13] change to the final average
[1:24:14] compensation calculation right now
[1:24:15] that is at two years for most of
[1:24:43] the plan participants it varies by
[1:24:44] defined contribution option which
[1:24:47] would have a you know in the distant
[1:24:49] future impact on on the liability but
[1:24:52] it really be more about recruitment
[1:24:53] Southern to talk to perhaps the hr
[1:24:57] director about that mess there in
[1:24:58] human resources department they think
[1:25:01] that's a good idea and then they had
[1:25:02] one other corrections they wanted to
[1:25:03] make to the Employees Retirement
[1:25:05] System in the last round of pension
[1:25:07] reform there was a move to go from
[1:25:09] five year besting to tenure fasting
[1:25:11] and the ten year besting have had a an
[1:25:13] issue relative to recruitment
[1:25:14] particularly for people who are
[1:25:17] transitioning from one government job
[1:25:21] to another and trying to refuse to
[1:25:24] clean that the town at the top four
[1:25:25] people at my want to do a five or ten
[1:25:26] year gig in addition to theirs. So
[1:25:27] that's been kind of an issue as well
[1:25:29] so you don't have a defined
[1:25:30] contribution which is more portable
[1:25:31] and then you have this ten year
[1:25:33] besting the kind of missing out on a
[1:25:36] group of folks that you could recruit
[1:25:39] to that kind of it and since we have
[1:25:44] you can it's been a long time coming
[1:25:47] The treasurer who was reluctant to
[1:25:48] come the microphone and join us as has
[1:25:51] prepared something for for Mayor Pro
[1:25:55] Tem Wagner knocked over and partway
[1:25:57] through I was a bit since he doesn't
[1:25:59] always attend the investment committee
[1:26:01] meeting regularly I don't know if you
[1:26:03] his colleagues know he's the first
[1:26:05] District Councilmember Hoosier finance
[1:26:08] chair he's your mayor pro Tem but he's
[1:26:11] also a member of the city's investment
[1:26:15] committee about six or seven finance
[1:26:16] chairs ago there was a financier who
[1:26:18] said you know I really like to run for
[1:26:21] state treasurer someday could I join
[1:26:23] you. The investment committee and when
[1:26:25] was the monthly meeting. I think once
[1:26:27] he learned what we did he was
[1:26:31] reluctant to think that was a great
[1:26:33] idea. Having said that each successive
[1:26:35] financier since then has had to attend
[1:26:38] those meetings and we make blistering
[1:26:41] bone chilling decisions on buying
[1:26:46] Treasury notes in agencies and parking
[1:26:47] the city's money in very safe
[1:26:49] investments in Mr. Wagner's tenure he
[1:26:51] has made over four point seven billion
[1:26:54] dollars worth of investments in fixed
[1:26:57] income securities and is counting
[1:26:58] because special actions are
[1:27:00] the favorite part of you were
[1:27:03] Thursdays so we're having a special
[1:27:05] action today in this committee which
[1:27:08] is probably unprecedented to talk
[1:27:10] about m pt. There's an asterisk on
[1:27:13] here it says Minnesota Poll pseudo
[1:27:20] Treasurer Scott Wagner aka t note I t
[1:27:21] know I'd seen the transformative lead
[1:27:26] nurturing outbound Treasury expert
[1:27:27] that has faithfully served the award
[1:27:31] winning Committee for a
[1:27:33] good four year term and has acted
[1:27:38] prudent fiduciary early during his
[1:27:40] term or yeah where where where does is
[1:27:41] to fix our national seal and
[1:27:42] the treasurer has signed this for you
[1:27:46] so. Wow. In lieu of a pension or watch
[1:27:48] a lovely plaque. We want to thank you
[1:27:49] for your service on the investment

[1:27:55] the first floor for you if you wish
[1:27:57] come back and well I think I'm
[1:28:00] restricted for a year from coming up
[1:28:02] getting them but I as a member of the

[1:28:24] the committee. Well I both thank you
[1:28:26] very much and I will not soon forget
[1:28:33] t note think I better than a t bone
[1:28:34] with us to introduce Marcus just don't
[1:28:36] get to see him guest room and plays
[1:28:37] Joan Marcus Whitworth who actually is
[1:28:38] are the city's investment manager and
[1:28:40] handles the billion dollars worth of
[1:28:42] money that sits in the city's bank
[1:28:44] account and all the funds and does all
[1:28:46] the hard work of making those
[1:28:47] investments and actually doing

[1:29:38] the joint committee meeting next week
[1:29:40] to deal with the issues with
[1:29:43] the neighborhoods Committee would not
[1:29:44] schedule it up for this week so plan
[1:29:47] on it next week and the comment that
[1:29:53] that counts when Barnes made on the in
[1:29:54] tf conversation and I've been reminded
[1:29:54] this whole meeting because that slide
[1:29:57] has been up ever since them is I will
[1:30:00] endeavor to see if we can do a an
[1:30:03] additional business item related to
[1:30:04] open spaces because I think there are
[1:30:06] a lot of questions I still get some
[1:30:08] emails like to have maybe a little
[1:30:11] conversation as we wind up this term
