1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,560
All right, Pastor. Say it for me.

2
00:00:03,820 --> 00:00:08,920
Casa de O'Donnell, I see him, means House of Prayer. That's it. House of Prayer. And remain

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,980
standing for the pleasure of legions. Pastor,

4
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:19,660
a pleasure to leave? No, to pray. Go ahead and say the prayer

5
00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:23,680
and then we'll do the pledge. And I want me to take an opportunity

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:32,020
and we'll fast to thank the council, people, members and city manager, city clerk and the mayor

7
00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:33,400
for this heart and opportunity.

8
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,720
I am honored to say that I got my wife with me,

9
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:38,820
eat it, and my mother and Lord,

10
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:40,440
my sister, Lord, that are visiting us

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,680
from all parts of Texas, and they enjoy themselves.

12
00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:45,720
Every time they come to Lord in a plahoma.

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,980
So we're going to borrow heads and burdens

14
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:53,820
to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and more pray.

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,300
Well, Lord, God, we come before you and this evening, Lord.

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,800
We're glad to and humble hearts, Lord.

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,620
to thank you for everything that you have allowed us to do so far.

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:12,280
I want to thank you in advance for everything else that we're going to be doing to rest of this evening, God.

19
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:15,800
I thank you for the leaders of this community.

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,820
I thank you for the city manager, the city clerk, of mayor,

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,300
the members of the councilor, continue blessing them,

22
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:31,100
of wisdom and strength, Lord, so they could continue going forth with the goals in the best

23
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:37,220
interest of this city. Bless every family, every single person, every child, every adolescent

24
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:44,840
in this town, Father. Make law in a city that will shine among the state, Lord. I ask you this

25
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,160
You'll name Jesus Christ, amen.

26
00:01:53,620 --> 00:01:55,440
And I just say it's over there.

27
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,920
And you'll do the re-development for which it stands.

28
00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:01,400
One nation, another God, individual,

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,240
with liberty, and justice for all.

30
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:05,560
All right.

31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,900
Thank you so much, Pastor.

32
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,400
Appreciate you coming.

33
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:11,100
Please call the roll.

34
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:14,860
Guten.

35
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:17,530
Chapman.

36
00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:18,350
Gil.

37
00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:19,570
Hampton.

38
00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:20,710
We're here.

39
00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:21,390
We're here.

40
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:22,450
We're here.

41
00:02:22,450 --> 00:02:23,650
How's it going?

42
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:31,470
Business item number one in place but like word, Melissa Gomez, John.

43
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:33,810
Melissa Gomez, come on down.

44
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:44,780
So Melissa works at Central Fire Station.

45
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,340
She's worked there approximately two and a half years.

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,900
And one of the key tenets of our true north culture statement that was just approved

47
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:58,240
by the voters to be a permanent part of our city charter is we're open for business.

48
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:04,360
And what Melissa did a few weeks ago was a perfect example of being open for business.

49
00:03:04,940 --> 00:03:09,540
So she was contacted by a vendor, a food truck vendor who was trying to get a fire

50
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:13,460
inspection for their vehicle, Melissa was able to square them away.

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:21,220
But what happened next, separate part in this regard is she was able to, once the inspection

52
00:03:21,220 --> 00:03:27,080
was taken care of, she got the necessary documents from license and permits because they

53
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,280
really busy that day and they couldn't respond immediately. So Melissa made sure that she got them,

54
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,260
make sure that they were filled out properly. And that citizen was able to get their business

55
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:43,200
license and all the necessary permits to sell. And that's what we want to do. That's our

56
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,420
goals and municipality is to enable our citizens and our business owners to do what they need to do.

57
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:52,260
So please give Melissa a round of applause for making that happen.

58
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,340
And we're going to move item two to

59
00:04:19,340 --> 00:04:26,920
I have reports which brings up the clean sweep award which I believe is the Buffalo Soldiers.

60
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,120
So you guys come on down front.

61
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:48,370
Okay, in the working.

62
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:54,070
So Saturday night, we have the Buffalo Soldier banquet.

63
00:04:54,950 --> 00:05:01,330
And it's probably was one of my favorite banquet in the whole seven years.

64
00:05:01,330 --> 00:05:07,830
I've been the mayor, I just really enjoyed it was such a great, relaxed attitude, just

65
00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:13,230
down to earth folks and I was telling the trip of Washington that early President Washington.

66
00:05:14,730 --> 00:05:17,150
And he told me, well, we're just down to earth people.

67
00:05:18,570 --> 00:05:22,410
So that was why you had such a down to earth bank, but not really appreciate it.

68
00:05:22,530 --> 00:05:23,890
And my wife and I really enjoyed it.

69
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:29,690
And the clean sweep award is all about keeping our city beautiful, keeping it clean.

70
00:05:29,690 --> 00:05:39,050
Because there's no way that we can do it without citizen groups, adopting different miles of road it is one mile, right?

71
00:05:40,430 --> 00:05:44,270
And these guys get out there once a quarter or more.

72
00:05:44,850 --> 00:05:50,450
And they pick up later along a certain place, and this doesn't tell me where your place is.

73
00:05:52,740 --> 00:05:54,020
We'll say again.

74
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:54,080
Yes.

75
00:05:54,940 --> 00:05:56,320
Fort Seal to I-44.

76
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,320
Let me be more in the mind.

77
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,520
Well, you guys did good and I want you to know I appreciate it and the community appreciates

78
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,020
it.

79
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:15,240
So let's read this, clean sweep award, proud to present it to the Buffalo soldiers, the special

80
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,640
recognition honors community groups and organizations that actively contribute to keeping

81
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,900
our city claimed by regularly, picking up litter.

82
00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:30,260
It celebrates their dedication to maintaining a beautiful and welcome in the environment for

83
00:06:30,260 --> 00:06:31,020
all residents.

84
00:06:31,940 --> 00:06:35,480
Let's give them that big of a round of applause.

85
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:52,840
Okay.

86
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:53,940
Okay.

87
00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:54,180
There you go.

88
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:54,800
Tony.

89
00:06:56,580 --> 00:06:56,760
Oh.

90
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,220
Thank you, sir.

91
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,600
On behalf of the 19th, Worst Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, we like to thank you for

92
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:14,800
given us this honor, because we do this within pride that we do is one of the things that we commit ourselves to do in the community.

93
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:23,960
So, we like to thank you all for this award, and we continue to support the community within the community by doing several things.

94
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:30,380
So, thank you again, sir, and the City of Lawdon, for allowing us to be here to receive this.

95
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:54,510
Okay, now we've got a national surgical technology way.

96
00:07:54,650 --> 00:07:57,250
Do we have someone here to receive that information?

97
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:05,330
Yeah, I don't think we do.

98
00:08:05,550 --> 00:08:08,710
So we have about Hispanic Heritage Man.

99
00:08:08,970 --> 00:08:10,410
We've got somebody to receive that.

100
00:08:11,150 --> 00:08:12,750
Usually, that's our birdies here.

101
00:08:13,010 --> 00:08:13,910
Oh, here we go.

102
00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:25,540
They just told me I skipped something real important,

103
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:27,560
but we'll get back to it.

104
00:08:53,330 --> 00:09:01,810
I love doing these, whereas each year Americans observe national, Hispanic heritage month

105
00:09:01,810 --> 00:09:08,850
from September 15, October 15, celebrating the histories, cultures, contributions of American

106
00:09:08,850 --> 00:09:15,610
citizens, his ancestors come from Spain, Mexico to Caribbean, and Central and South America.

107
00:09:15,610 --> 00:09:24,330
And whereas the observations started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson,

108
00:09:24,390 --> 00:09:30,750
and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period,

109
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:35,450
starting on September 15th and ending up where we get to celebrate for a month.

110
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:46,050
Party. It was enacted into law in August 17, 1988 on the approval of Public Law 10422. During

111
00:09:46,050 --> 00:09:53,070
his Spanish, Hispanic Heritage Month, we take opportunity to honor all Americans of Hispanic

112
00:09:53,070 --> 00:09:59,630
descent and to acknowledge their path and ongoing contributions to the success and growth

113
00:09:59,630 --> 00:10:05,290
of our nation and community. Hispanic Americans are the largest minority group in the

114
00:10:05,290 --> 00:10:09,130
United States today, in generations of Hispanic Americans

115
00:10:09,130 --> 00:10:14,550
that consistently help make our country strong and prosperous.

116
00:10:15,390 --> 00:10:19,810
Whereas this year's theme, Latinos, driving prosperity, power,

117
00:10:19,950 --> 00:10:24,230
and progress in America, highlights the significant impact

118
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:29,550
of Hispanics to America's economic, political, and social advancement.

119
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:40,330
Therefore, I do recognize September 15, October 15, 2025 as Hispanic, Hispanic Heritage Month

120
00:10:40,330 --> 00:10:45,730
and encourage the whole city to party for a month, and party for a month, and don't forget

121
00:10:45,730 --> 00:10:52,310
the international festival where we celebrate lots of cultures that are here in our community.

122
00:10:52,810 --> 00:10:54,010
Let's give them a big round.

123
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:08,560
Okay, and I know Mary, and let's say so.

124
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,340
On behalf of the Race Relations Commission,

125
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:17,960
we want to thank the city for recognizing on Hispanic Heritage Month,

126
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,740
and then going to who is one of our members

127
00:11:20,740 --> 00:11:22,480
of the Race Relations Commission.

128
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:25,900
In fact, all of us are, but John Bernoulli is too,

129
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
which is sitting in the back.

130
00:11:27,340 --> 00:11:28,160
We want to come up here.

131
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,420
Kim, come up here.

132
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:30,820
Here, she's sitting in the back.

133
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,620
So we're just really wondering if they got to come up here today.

134
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:36,080
Thank you.

135
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,400
Okay.

136
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,580
Now I'm going to turn it over to the City Manager to do this Oklahoma Municipal League presentation

137
00:11:47,580 --> 00:11:53,120
to Rusty Weeson that who was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame for City

138
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,140
and Town officials and Donald Land Blazic Schurler who won the Dawn Rider Transparency

139
00:11:58,140 --> 00:11:59,200
and Government Award.

140
00:11:59,660 --> 00:12:01,160
I hope I didn't steal your host's speech.

141
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:03,160
No, you didn't.

142
00:12:03,780 --> 00:12:04,680
Thank you.

143
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:11,940
So, this may be seen Rusty and Donald Linn were both recognized at a state level conference last week.

144
00:12:12,780 --> 00:12:15,680
Rusty was inducted into the Oakland Municipal League Hall of Fame.

145
00:12:15,740 --> 00:12:17,180
That is quite an honor.

146
00:12:18,260 --> 00:12:19,500
Yeah, I think that deserves a round.

147
00:12:25,710 --> 00:12:31,290
Rusty has been a faithful employee for over 30 years of last track of the exam.

148
00:12:31,690 --> 00:12:33,330
Up over 30, 35 years.

149
00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:37,090
The 35 years, that's a long time, that's a real long time.

150
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:41,250
and rest is provided some amazing service to our city or community,

151
00:12:41,490 --> 00:12:46,070
South West Oklahoma over the years is our director of public utilities now,

152
00:12:46,190 --> 00:12:50,010
but he's held a variety of different jobs leading up to that position,

153
00:12:50,450 --> 00:12:54,770
so we're incredibly proud of him and we're thankful for his service.

154
00:12:54,910 --> 00:12:56,250
Please give him a round of applause.

155
00:13:00,460 --> 00:13:05,180
Oh, and we have a medal for you, Rusty.

156
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,000
It's your Hall of Fame medal.

157
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,160
We did have a yellow jacket, but there's budget cuts, so let's see what to get.

158
00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:25,110
I would prefer orange, but yellow will do,

159
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:31,420
and most people do not understand, it really

160
00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:36,780
relies that, you know, I've got 35 years with the City of Lulton, but I'll work for two other

161
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:42,600
municipalities through contract operational companies and also spend a year working in running

162
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,560
and water and waste water system for food.

163
00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:48,980
Along with that, many years of project management,

164
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:52,440
construction management, and everything,

165
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:58,020
but service to our citizens, I have two daughters,

166
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,660
four granddaughters, and two daughters,

167
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,020
and wife are here tonight.

168
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:07,760
But I don't live what I do for today,

169
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,620
I do what I do for tomorrow.

170
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,160
My granddaughters.

171
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:17,500
You're a granddaughter. That's what's important. This kid's first initiative that the city of

172
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:25,440
Lawton has adopted. That is what's important. And we need to all be serving our young people

173
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:32,320
and making their life what it needs to be so that they can take care of their children when they come along.

174
00:14:33,060 --> 00:14:36,100
So service is an important part of my life.

175
00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:39,780
Thank you, I see.

176
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:50,940
There's a ways of what can we want to come up and do a quick picture with our Hall of Fame dad.

177
00:15:35,150 --> 00:15:44,070
The second award that has seen a lot of employee received, I was from a down a little blaze of churler, and she received the Don Rader Transparency Award.

178
00:15:44,670 --> 00:15:58,930
And what that award is given to you in you list is for the public official that's most dedicated to transparency and communicating with members of the public when they submit open records requests for when they submit questions.

179
00:15:58,930 --> 00:16:06,230
And I tell you that I've worked closely with Donna Lynn on the open records program since

180
00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:10,930
I've been here for nearly five years since both the city attorney and the city manager.

181
00:16:12,590 --> 00:16:20,110
And just where we are today is supposed to where we were five years ago, it's an incredible

182
00:16:20,110 --> 00:16:21,030
transformation.

183
00:16:21,890 --> 00:16:26,870
You know, I remember when I got here, open records request were handled, somebody would get

184
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:30,110
and they would forward the email and they would say,

185
00:16:30,130 --> 00:16:33,950
hey, just identify whatever documents you have in respond.

186
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:37,230
That was the process, that's what we had.

187
00:16:37,690 --> 00:16:40,750
So we came from that, we developed a policy,

188
00:16:41,410 --> 00:16:46,330
now we have software that enables us to research better

189
00:16:46,330 --> 00:16:49,810
and to find responsive documents and ultimately provide

190
00:16:49,810 --> 00:16:52,510
information that our citizens ask of us.

191
00:16:52,510 --> 00:16:58,090
and this transformation would not have been possible without data written.

192
00:16:58,310 --> 00:17:05,050
She's been instrumental, you know, she's very patient, she's very thorough, she gets the job done,

193
00:17:05,370 --> 00:17:12,190
and this is really incredible honor. And I can't think of a more deserving person that has earned this.

194
00:17:12,190 --> 00:17:13,830
So please give that a round of applause.

195
00:17:22,190 --> 00:17:24,390
Okay, and we've got a plaque for you down here?

196
00:17:50,090 --> 00:17:58,970
Okay, now we're going to before we get on the consent agenda, until about a few agenda item changes.

197
00:17:59,630 --> 00:18:02,750
We're going to strike item 45 on staff reports.

198
00:18:04,370 --> 00:18:11,430
Then I'm going to May of Item 42 and 43, which deal with homelessness and some degree.

199
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:19,150
And we're going to move those up with our unfinished business and our first two items on the business

200
00:18:19,150 --> 00:18:25,410
items, which also deal with the CDBG and other homeless issues.

201
00:18:25,670 --> 00:18:27,530
So that way we can do all that together.

202
00:18:27,910 --> 00:18:32,570
I think there are several people here that want to speak and we'll go ahead and move those

203
00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:34,070
up to let them speak on that.

204
00:18:34,530 --> 00:18:40,930
Now in the consent agenda, we're going to strike item 19 and we're going to poll item 22.

205
00:18:40,930 --> 00:18:43,410
And that's all I have, Council.

206
00:18:45,220 --> 00:18:46,120
Oh, that's deep.

207
00:18:56,460 --> 00:18:56,880
Mayor.

208
00:18:57,380 --> 00:18:59,820
Okay, so we're also pulling item nine.

209
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:01,360
Yes.

210
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,640
We skipped reports.

211
00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:04,240
Oh.

212
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,920
I'm doing pretty good at skipping things today.

213
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,780
Well, let's go ahead since I started as consent.

214
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,840
We'll go ahead and do this and before we go to the

215
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:22,800
two consent items will do report. So we've pulled item 22 and 9 and we struck 19. Do I have a

216
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,440
motion?

217
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:30,520
Okay, please are we voting or call the wrong?

218
00:19:34,140 --> 00:19:35,000
Please vote.

219
00:20:13,090 --> 00:20:13,850
You sure you voted?

220
00:20:14,270 --> 00:20:16,170
I didn't want to take it down.

221
00:20:40,850 --> 00:20:46,350
Motion carries 7 to 0. All right, and before we do those two consent items we're going to jump

222
00:20:46,350 --> 00:20:49,750
back and do reports. We're going to start with the

223
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:51,590
caramel. What do you have for us, colonel?

224
00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:56,230
All right. Hope everybody's doing well. I want to say thanks

225
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:58,290
for everybody for our black-start exercise. I really

226
00:20:58,290 --> 00:21:01,910
will turn the lights off. Turn it back on. Not a whole lot of

227
00:21:01,910 --> 00:21:03,950
issues there. So it's really great. It learned a lot of great

228
00:21:03,950 --> 00:21:06,570
lessons learned. So really great support from the community.

229
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:09,890
A couple of things coming up this weekend, if you're a

230
00:21:09,890 --> 00:21:12,370
Marine or a light to support Marines, they have our

231
00:21:12,370 --> 00:21:16,330
30 second annual double dollar on. So come on out to the

232
00:21:16,330 --> 00:21:21,070
as 0-8, this Saturday, and then following that, it's a really great brunch.

233
00:21:21,630 --> 00:21:23,970
And if you're a Marine, we will have crayons for you to eat.

234
00:21:24,130 --> 00:21:26,690
So if you know if you're a Marine, you know what I'm talking about.

235
00:21:27,070 --> 00:21:29,470
All the Marines know chocolate crayons for everybody.

236
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:35,310
And what's near and near to my heart is I also think it's near and near to everybody else's heart.

237
00:21:35,490 --> 00:21:39,050
October fast, three October, three October, October fast,

238
00:21:39,050 --> 00:21:41,030
at Fort Sills Patriot Club.

239
00:21:41,230 --> 00:21:45,350
Starts at 1700 goes to a little 2200 or 10pm for everybody.

240
00:21:46,370 --> 00:21:49,710
My favorite part is I get to do it at 1800 or 6pm

241
00:21:49,710 --> 00:21:50,810
or tap in the keg.

242
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:51,910
I get to tap it.

243
00:21:51,930 --> 00:21:52,490
I can't wait.

244
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:53,690
It's going to be a ton of fun.

245
00:21:53,930 --> 00:21:54,190
Come on out.

246
00:21:54,450 --> 00:21:56,850
Got a lot of drops, a lot of German food.

247
00:21:57,210 --> 00:21:58,810
Got some folks who know they're playing some music.

248
00:21:58,970 --> 00:21:59,650
It'd be really great.

249
00:21:59,890 --> 00:22:01,890
And then that following Saturday on the fourth

250
00:22:01,890 --> 00:22:03,470
is October Fest Run.

251
00:22:04,450 --> 00:22:06,490
So you get October Fest Friday night.

252
00:22:07,230 --> 00:22:11,590
And if you're feeling up to it, come right up with us on Saturday, if you're feeling up to it.

253
00:22:11,730 --> 00:22:14,450
And then the last thing is hey, you're like football, come on out to the Patriot Club.

254
00:22:14,510 --> 00:22:16,390
Every Thursday night, for Thursday night, for football.

255
00:22:16,630 --> 00:22:17,470
It's going to be a ton of fun.

256
00:22:18,190 --> 00:22:19,330
We have a great honor and challenge.

257
00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:23,210
You get to put your name in the hat and you do some picks for who's winning what.

258
00:22:24,210 --> 00:22:26,550
And if you're the lucky winner, you win like a T-shirt or something.

259
00:22:27,010 --> 00:22:28,430
But come on out and have a good time.

260
00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:30,110
It is a ton of fun.

261
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:31,090
So thanks a lot, sir.

262
00:22:31,090 --> 00:22:32,010
I really appreciate it.

263
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:32,650
All right.

264
00:22:32,810 --> 00:22:33,430
Thank you.

265
00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:44,850
I just wanted to say that it's really been a pleasure working with Rusty.

266
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:47,610
I told him earlier that he's not allowed to leave.

267
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:50,530
So he just don't get a big head.

268
00:22:50,770 --> 00:22:53,810
You just have to keep showing up.

269
00:22:54,770 --> 00:22:59,930
But I think Rusty may very well be the person that's been here longer than I am.

270
00:23:01,590 --> 00:23:11,290
But he has never failed to provide the service that he was supposed to above and beyond.

271
00:23:12,450 --> 00:23:13,930
He's always been helpful.

272
00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:19,910
He's answered questions for me when it wasn't even his department.

273
00:23:21,890 --> 00:23:26,510
He just has always been very, very helpful when I greatly appreciate that.

274
00:23:26,550 --> 00:23:29,850
Same with Donald L.N., I don't know what I do without.

275
00:23:29,850 --> 00:23:37,970
her. I just, it's almost like AI. I just kind of, I say, four words that almost

276
00:23:37,970 --> 00:23:42,790
match and she knows what I'm talking about and moves forward and makes it happen.

277
00:23:44,990 --> 00:23:45,930
But I do

278
00:23:45,930 --> 00:23:52,370
appreciate that and we have many, many, many great employees at the city a lot and that's

279
00:23:52,370 --> 00:23:58,670
just two examples, and I greatly appreciate both of you.

280
00:23:59,170 --> 00:24:00,290
I think that's one of Williams.

281
00:24:02,030 --> 00:24:05,750
Yes, I'd just like to appreciate everyone

282
00:24:05,750 --> 00:24:09,070
who's been participating in the World 7,

283
00:24:09,690 --> 00:24:11,350
the painting project.

284
00:24:12,450 --> 00:24:15,850
We're on today's front news paper council.

285
00:24:16,370 --> 00:24:19,990
Councilman George Giel and I, and the home owner,

286
00:24:19,990 --> 00:24:23,070
but I'd like to ask you to pay for the homeowner

287
00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:25,590
when he was living with the mother.

288
00:24:26,250 --> 00:24:29,810
She passed last Sunday, she died.

289
00:24:30,890 --> 00:24:32,910
But she died helping her on at her home

290
00:24:32,910 --> 00:24:33,990
was going to be paying it.

291
00:24:34,570 --> 00:24:36,590
She was overjoyed about that.

292
00:24:38,130 --> 00:24:43,070
Also, we were sending the whole last newspaper also.

293
00:24:46,010 --> 00:24:49,970
Also, in WACP, for even banquet,

294
00:24:49,970 --> 00:24:54,630
It's going to be October to 4th, and it's going to be a calming university in the

295
00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:55,650
cast in the bathroom.

296
00:24:56,330 --> 00:25:02,630
If you need a ticket, you can call 50-0-536-691-3.

297
00:25:03,430 --> 00:25:09,830
And I'd just like to advise you, if you see your neighbor and they may need some help, I'd

298
00:25:09,830 --> 00:25:14,030
advise you to see what you can do to happen, because that is what I did.

299
00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:15,130
Thank you.

300
00:25:16,170 --> 00:25:16,990
Okay, Mr. Wieger.

301
00:25:17,970 --> 00:25:18,630
Thank you, Mayor.

302
00:25:18,630 --> 00:25:31,110
open streets. What a success. We had a great time last Saturday. And of course, one of the things that I found really refreshing is meeting new folks that said,

303
00:25:31,690 --> 00:25:40,650
this is my first time coming to open streets. I didn't know this was here. And we had some wonderful visits with fellow citizens.

304
00:25:40,650 --> 00:25:47,910
And all of them were talking about how excited they were to be a part of Watton.

305
00:25:48,810 --> 00:25:53,510
And I'm just very thankful for Miss Summer who kind of orchestrated and put all that

306
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:58,030
together and of course the city putting their blessing on it as well and the participants

307
00:25:58,030 --> 00:26:02,050
it was just a lot of fun to spend time with fellow latinians.

308
00:26:02,410 --> 00:26:08,930
And I'm also glad to see Miss Donna Lynn and Rusty both receiving those rewards because it

309
00:26:08,930 --> 00:26:14,290
Make sure you feel good that the state of Oklahoma understands something that we've known for a long time.

310
00:26:14,730 --> 00:26:17,430
We have some wonderful people serving our city.

311
00:26:18,350 --> 00:26:18,750
Thank you, Mayor.

312
00:26:19,070 --> 00:26:20,390
All right, Mr. Hampton.

313
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:22,010
Yes, Mayor, thank you.

314
00:26:22,010 --> 00:26:25,190
I love that word of five stuff that's going on.

315
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:29,310
If I'm going to the farmers market, of course, that this is a year around being.

316
00:26:29,330 --> 00:26:32,890
Make sure you get out there and get you to the fresh vegetables, the margins of crafts.

317
00:26:33,670 --> 00:26:34,910
And meet some of your fellow citizens.

318
00:26:35,730 --> 00:26:37,070
Very, very good time out there.

319
00:26:37,070 --> 00:26:39,230
I also want to echo open streets.

320
00:26:39,390 --> 00:26:43,130
You know, I'm a street program in such a fantastic program

321
00:26:43,130 --> 00:26:48,050
that other cities come here to model their open street program

322
00:26:48,050 --> 00:26:49,590
with our program.

323
00:26:50,110 --> 00:26:53,450
I had the opportunity to be one of the people that found it

324
00:26:53,450 --> 00:26:56,030
that and have supported that.

325
00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:58,210
That's a lot of work to put that together.

326
00:26:58,230 --> 00:27:01,250
I want to say thank you to the staff that get up at 7 o'clock

327
00:27:01,250 --> 00:27:03,930
in the morning or earlier to try to get the barriers up

328
00:27:03,930 --> 00:27:05,390
and get everything set up for that.

329
00:27:05,390 --> 00:27:10,230
in the tearing down. It's a lot of work behind the scenes. And I know that the Park's

330
00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:16,730
Rick's Department as well as some other staff members are there. Congratulations to Jason

331
00:27:16,730 --> 00:27:19,730
on your little business downtown. What does that call again?

332
00:27:22,030 --> 00:27:23,850
That Kerry Ossie Avenue, if you

333
00:27:23,850 --> 00:27:27,450
have a chance to go to see that, that's a wonderful thing for the kids. Kids, first of course,

334
00:27:27,810 --> 00:27:33,730
and also want to echo Donald Land. I know I come and talk to you. I know you do tables full,

335
00:27:33,730 --> 00:27:36,210
but you always help in your own sort of congenial

336
00:27:36,210 --> 00:27:38,650
appreciate that, congratulations to you and Leslie.

337
00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:40,590
You're in the Rusty.

338
00:27:40,590 --> 00:27:41,190
Thank you, Mayor.

339
00:27:41,550 --> 00:27:42,070
Mr. Gill,

340
00:27:44,150 --> 00:27:45,510
two quick things.

341
00:27:46,430 --> 00:27:49,310
I remember that they almost the day that Rusty came

342
00:27:49,310 --> 00:27:50,630
to work for the city.

343
00:27:51,270 --> 00:27:52,030
I've known him ever since.

344
00:27:52,270 --> 00:27:53,790
I've worked with him on many projects.

345
00:27:54,730 --> 00:27:57,150
I think he's one of the best engineers I've ever had

346
00:27:57,150 --> 00:27:58,850
the opportunity to work with.

347
00:27:59,050 --> 00:28:01,370
City of Rotten has really been extremely fortunate

348
00:28:01,370 --> 00:28:03,310
to have had him all this time.

349
00:28:03,310 --> 00:28:08,170
I hope that doesn't mean you're gone, I see it just means since we've had you, we'll keep

350
00:28:08,170 --> 00:28:11,330
you as long as we can, so I wanted to mention that.

351
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:16,690
Second thing on our streets program, it's, it's, it's, our mill and overlay has really been

352
00:28:16,690 --> 00:28:18,510
a very successful project.

353
00:28:19,010 --> 00:28:23,470
It's not only new roads, new surfaces, but it's also a maintenance program which we've really

354
00:28:23,470 --> 00:28:30,410
never had at this level before in the city of Lotton, and I hear a little bit of negative

355
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:35,390
here and there, but these streets are really going to last us a lot longer for a lot less

356
00:28:35,390 --> 00:28:36,810
money and we can get a lot more done.

357
00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:41,810
In one quick point, 38 streets coming along really good, it will be open the end of this

358
00:28:41,810 --> 00:28:44,170
week for north traffic at least half way.

359
00:28:45,170 --> 00:28:49,410
There's been some questions on mill and overlay, so I'm going to clarify, 38 street is a

360
00:28:49,410 --> 00:28:50,050
brand new street.

361
00:28:50,370 --> 00:28:54,590
It is 11 inches of asphalt over rock base.

362
00:28:55,030 --> 00:28:57,690
You can land an airplane on that if you need to.

363
00:28:57,690 --> 00:29:02,310
So that is a completely 100% Bending Street for a lot less money.

364
00:29:02,610 --> 00:29:03,370
Thank you.

365
00:29:06,750 --> 00:29:07,370
I'm happy for me.

366
00:29:08,670 --> 00:29:16,370
What's going on in World Two, my good friend, over at McManatorium and Arson Humanity

367
00:29:16,370 --> 00:29:17,210
sent me an update.

368
00:29:18,290 --> 00:29:26,070
So unfortunately, this Friday is the last day for the Water Park season, closes at 7 p.m.

369
00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:33,930
So I had to see that, but I am glad that that is a asset to the city for our youth to have something to do.

370
00:29:34,770 --> 00:29:44,670
The other thing is, this is good news, the 46 annual international festival kicks off at 5, the opening ceremony is at 5.45.

371
00:29:45,330 --> 00:29:54,530
The festival runs through Sunday, so this weekend, my wife Victoria has already told me that that is where it will be, so there are things to do with law.

372
00:29:54,530 --> 00:29:56,330
I'll come on out.

373
00:29:56,610 --> 00:29:56,870
Okay.

374
00:29:57,110 --> 00:29:57,550
Catch me.

375
00:30:01,740 --> 00:30:07,120
Well, I've been here about almost two hours now, so the report's going to be real this short.

376
00:30:07,620 --> 00:30:16,340
I do. I'm really thankful for the help and support from the staff here in the city, and it's really impressive.

377
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,740
And look forward to maybe have something else to report on next time. Okay. Thank you.

378
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,040
Thank you, City Manager.

379
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:29,580
So, come on out and enjoy International Fest this weekend.

380
00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:34,360
You might see Colonel Beard out there with some international officers, he was out there

381
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,220
last year.

382
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:40,880
Lots of fun, lots of opportunity to interact with folks, lots of great food.

383
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:47,600
So you don't want to miss it, there's a, you know, councilman apps went over a few of

384
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,040
the highlights.

385
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:54,920
But if you want to look at the specific schedule, just go to SwalkArts.com, just go to

386
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,980
website, you can get the schedule. And then the last thing that I've got is on September 30th

387
00:31:00,980 --> 00:31:07,420
will be closing on our CIP loan. And so this loan, the projects that will be included

388
00:31:07,420 --> 00:31:14,180
in this loan are the museum, the 105 streets, the animal welfare center, and the library.

389
00:31:14,860 --> 00:31:21,560
All right, great. Very good. That brings up item 9. It's better accepting a deed to

390
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:29,040
Senate 10332, block 63 of the Lotton Heights edition, commonly known as Lottes 3 and 4, block 63,

391
00:31:30,060 --> 00:31:35,780
Lotton Heights edition, accepting payment of $5,000, and approved dismissing the pending

392
00:31:35,780 --> 00:31:41,400
action in the District Court of Commandity County, titled City of Lotton, Oklahoma Municipal

393
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:52,220
operation versus transforming hand ink at all case number CJ-2025-265-10.

394
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:52,760
Thank you.

395
00:31:52,940 --> 00:31:54,200
And just briefly, Mayor and Council.

396
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:56,440
This case is so for transparency.

397
00:31:56,700 --> 00:32:01,280
So everyone knows this is our nursing home demo case out on Andrew's Avenue.

398
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,880
You've been briefed in open session.

399
00:32:04,140 --> 00:32:08,640
We briefed some in executive session about last time about potential settlement.

400
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:13,460
And this was the terms that we were the guy that's what we talked about in executive session.

401
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,060
Propheoners is needing the property to the city also paying us $5,000.

402
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,500
We have the quick claim deed.

403
00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:20,480
We have the check.

404
00:32:20,660 --> 00:32:21,300
It's my understanding.

405
00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:24,140
And so just for transparency, I see people.

406
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,220
So we know which one we're voting on.

407
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,220
And I would ask Council to go ahead and approve this.

408
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,820
Thank you.

409
00:32:32,750 --> 00:32:33,150
Yeah, motion.

410
00:32:34,250 --> 00:32:36,410
There are motion 2 asked.

411
00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:54,740
Again, motion 1, there's seven to zero,

412
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:56,100
bringing about 22.

413
00:32:56,660 --> 00:33:01,120
Consider approving proposed appointments to boards,

414
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,220
and commissions.

415
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,840
And Matina Davis asked to speak on this.

416
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,320
As Matina here.

417
00:33:11,070 --> 00:33:12,210
Apparently she's left.

418
00:33:12,270 --> 00:33:13,710
Can I get a motion for approval?

419
00:33:17,110 --> 00:33:17,830
I'll say that.

420
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,670
Please vote.

421
00:33:31,460 --> 00:33:32,200
Motion carries.

422
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:38,660
carries, bringing up end-finished business, receiving updated presentation from family promise,

423
00:33:39,260 --> 00:33:45,680
regarding the request for community housing development organization, CHDO project, for the

424
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:51,620
acquisition and rehabilitation of building and property located at 13 o'clock South West

425
00:33:51,620 --> 00:33:56,840
Diabona, and authorized the Mayor and City Clerk to sign all required documents pertaining

426
00:33:57,180 --> 00:33:58,500
to this project.

427
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:08,920
So we originally brought this project to you on July 22nd and it was table so that we could do some additional information.

428
00:34:09,720 --> 00:34:22,460
Michael Tau is here. He's a president of the Board of Family Promise and he is going to do a slight presentation for you guys and ask for a signing of the agreement for the $33,000 tonight.

429
00:34:29,540 --> 00:34:34,020
So, Charlotte, here's going to pass out our what we call phase one.

430
00:34:34,580 --> 00:34:41,940
It just kind of breaks down what our request is for the 33,000 kind of breaks down in two different sections,

431
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,540
apologies can be one second.

432
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,600
So, is there any, I know you already haven't had a chance to look at this two depth,

433
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,620
but it was kind of already included in the first proposal.

434
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,940
Is there anything specific you'd like for me to go over,

435
00:34:55,940 --> 00:35:00,160
or you kind of want me to do a quick overview of the whole thing, kind of give me some guidance.

436
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:10,760
A quick one. Okay. So phase one, you'll have part A, which will be the operating support that's going to cover your staff, your administrative costs.

437
00:35:11,260 --> 00:35:16,780
That's also where we're going to find that compliance part for the HUD and also the CPA financial oversight.

438
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:25,020
That's more the administrative part of there. Obviously some of that, obviously it's not in combat at this moment, it's what's coming for the future.

439
00:35:25,020 --> 00:35:28,440
Part B will be the pre-development cause or assistance.

440
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,440
This is going to be the actual hard part construction cost.

441
00:35:33,140 --> 00:35:38,040
You're going to have the conceptual design phase, which includes an engineering

442
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,020
port, which I know Councillor Gill was very important for us to get that done.

443
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,500
So that's going to be into that part.

444
00:35:43,740 --> 00:35:46,740
And obviously, the survey kind of goes along with that for the actual construction.

445
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,220
We've had multiple meetings with CDBL.

446
00:35:50,220 --> 00:35:58,140
They kind of have given us a simplistic kind of layout of the floor plan, we're very excited about what it's looking so far.

447
00:35:58,420 --> 00:36:03,260
And after this one, we're going to have some follow-up meetings get prepared for the final proposal coming later.

448
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,140
And so we're very, very excited about what's going on so far.

449
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:07,380
Any questions?

450
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:13,660
So I'm misunderstood, Bill, and I thought you were asking for some operational funds,

451
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,160
which you're asking for as some money to get started on a building project.

452
00:36:18,860 --> 00:36:19,920
Is that correct?

453
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:28,020
So, you know, these would be maybe I say it incorrectly, but this would be, it would be

454
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:30,400
support funds, I guess it's the best way to say that.

455
00:36:30,740 --> 00:36:34,180
Support for the construction project or support for operations.

456
00:36:36,950 --> 00:36:41,670
It's support for the construction project, so for the survey for the structural engineer and

457
00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:44,590
to work with CDBales and move forward with plans.

458
00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:50,430
Okay, did I mess in here? Have we got an estimate at all of where this is going?

459
00:36:51,730 --> 00:36:57,410
With a total cost. It seems like the last time we visited it was about half a million, right?

460
00:36:57,590 --> 00:37:00,790
So our original, oh, I'm sorry. Pardon me? Is it okay for me to answer?

461
00:37:01,310 --> 00:37:08,070
Yeah, okay. My original pose was 540. So far we've only kind of talked about a conceptual

462
00:37:08,070 --> 00:37:14,430
for a plan and then with the engineering report that was just finished and it's up coming

463
00:37:14,430 --> 00:37:19,710
survey, we'll be able to get a four-year-old budget, CBOs can get us a four-budget item,

464
00:37:19,970 --> 00:37:23,810
you know, how much is the HFAC, how much is each individual item, and then we'll be able to come

465
00:37:23,810 --> 00:37:29,710
back with our proposal for the final part, explaining what we were requesting from the city and what

466
00:37:29,710 --> 00:37:37,990
we would be seeking elsewhere, if need be. Mr. Mayor. Mr. Gu. I think it might be beneficial that

467
00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:44,710
go ahead and get the additional information, get our budget situated, see where we're at, look

468
00:37:44,710 --> 00:37:49,870
at the different things that we need to look at before you come back to the council and

469
00:37:49,870 --> 00:37:55,010
want that money because I would think that that might depend on what we're talking about

470
00:37:55,010 --> 00:37:59,130
as to what this body votes for.

471
00:38:00,030 --> 00:38:04,110
I don't know, I agree. I agree. I mean, my kind of he didn't want any action to not

472
00:38:04,110 --> 00:38:11,490
So my kind of understanding of this whole process, tonight is kind of what Chotter would call

473
00:38:11,490 --> 00:38:12,570
the

474
00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:19,640
kind of support pre-development phase, and so you can almost kind of think about it as

475
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,020
two separate deals.

476
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:29,300
So this support phase would be funds to help family-promise pay for the engineer, pay for

477
00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:33,720
staff to work on these items, and it's all undercred that way.

478
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:43,600
And then once we finalize the budget, finalize proposal, we then come back to the city saying here is a final number.

479
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:51,340
Here is the final designs. Now we turn our official request for Choto funds to actually build the project.

480
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:59,720
So it's kind of two separate. It's all one project, but Choto, the way they have their funds, and they're out there.

481
00:39:00,740 --> 00:39:06,140
I've got to think of the correct word to say here, the loud ways to release said fines

482
00:39:06,140 --> 00:39:08,440
kind of gives you two different ways to do so.

483
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,720
So try to correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think the way that Choto allows this is this

484
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:21,340
is released to allow us to develop the idea and then come to the City Council to request money

485
00:39:21,340 --> 00:39:23,280
to actually build it.

486
00:39:23,780 --> 00:39:29,080
If it doesn't work out the way, I don't believe there's any issues with releasing these

487
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:40,940
Now, is there a question I have because in the document, there is a proposed agreement for operational expense and for $33,000, I believe.

488
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,220
So are they asking counsel to approve that tonight?

489
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:45,200
Yes, yes.

490
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:47,540
We're asking counsel to approve that $33,000.

491
00:39:47,540 --> 00:39:56,300
Yes, I guess what I'm confused at is that maybe things that I've heard in an unofficial

492
00:39:56,300 --> 00:40:01,660
capacity is that the estimate of this is way over a million dollars.

493
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:11,500
And I don't know that I don't know that I'm ready to say we're behind the project to spend

494
00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:17,820
33,000 on it, and I kind of think if we, maybe I'm wrong, if we spend this money at

495
00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:20,780
prep, we're kind of saying we're behind the project, Mr. Warren.

496
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,960
And that's a little bit of what I was wanting to say,

497
00:40:28,340 --> 00:40:30,200
I don't, honestly, don't, do we know,

498
00:40:30,660 --> 00:40:32,840
maybe I got three questions, maybe three?

499
00:40:33,220 --> 00:40:39,660
Do we have any idea when we're going to put a nail-in-wood, how long, what's the guesstimate

500
00:40:39,660 --> 00:40:41,300
on how long that's going to be?

501
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,460
I don't have a date yet.

502
00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:45,620
We haven't said a date yet.

503
00:40:46,260 --> 00:40:51,740
Just because this part here is the pre-development part.

504
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,760
And so once we get those numbers and we understand it,

505
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,900
we then come back to City Council with the full request for actually many.

506
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:03,760
So these childal fans are...

507
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,200
I'm just going to very confusing.

508
00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:07,020
It's very confusing to me as well.

509
00:41:07,140 --> 00:41:08,180
So hopefully I'm doing this right.

510
00:41:08,180 --> 00:41:11,740
Like I said, you're using it for two different things.

511
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:16,620
This is the pre-development portion to come back to you

512
00:41:16,620 --> 00:41:19,800
with a full request for the funds to build construction.

513
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:24,940
So I don't believe that by approving these tonight,

514
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,800
you're on the hook for anything in the future.

515
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,480
But we need these funds to develop the plan proposal

516
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,780
to then come back to you to do said plan proposal.

517
00:41:37,940 --> 00:41:47,080
Okay, so the next question is, so these funds can be used for operations.

518
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:58,340
Council, here's my issue, is we don't, and this is nothing personal about family promise

519
00:41:58,340 --> 00:42:04,520
or any, you know, the actual project, but we don't know that that's even going to happen.

520
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:15,640
And my fear is that, once again, and just because it happens in government on a daily basis,

521
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:21,700
not necessarily here, but better government and state government and everywhere else, if we provide

522
00:42:21,700 --> 00:42:34,820
that $33,000, and then the next ask is, well, the city needs to put in $250,000, that $33,000 has evaporated.

523
00:42:34,820 --> 00:42:43,220
It's gone and we've got nothing for it because any plans that would have been started won't be any good in two years when it's time to finally build it

524
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:50,680
I think it needs to be a package deal. I think it needs to I don't know how they make that happen

525
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:57,330
I would much rather see a focus on spending

526
00:42:57,330 --> 00:43:05,670
I mean because $33,000 is actually a small amount of money and that's why it's so easy for it to evaporate

527
00:43:06,450 --> 00:43:12,430
So, if we were to provide that for operations,

528
00:43:15,450 --> 00:43:20,110
where it can be spent directly to the care of the citizen

529
00:43:21,090 --> 00:43:26,230
or to provide housing or whatever it is, tomorrow,

530
00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:28,470
we've actually accomplished something.

531
00:43:29,770 --> 00:43:33,670
I'm just afraid that we're going to spend $33,000

532
00:43:33,670 --> 00:43:36,470
to get two steps down the road to find out.

533
00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:44,550
We're not going to be able to spend the money that we're going to need to spend because I guarantee you the federal government's not going to spend it all.

534
00:43:45,090 --> 00:43:47,990
You know, if it's a million dollars, they're not going to pay a million dollars.

535
00:43:48,570 --> 00:43:50,130
We're going to have to have some kind of match.

536
00:43:50,330 --> 00:43:53,310
If we don't have the money, then the $33,000 is gone.

537
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,060
I'd make, I'll let y'all discuss, and I'll make a motion.

538
00:44:01,060 --> 00:44:10,280
So I've got a question, when you talk about, you're talking about using it for operations,

539
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,440
different than what this is saying, I gather.

540
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,240
This is talking about the operations and necessary to put together conceptual plan.

541
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,080
I don't gather.

542
00:44:20,340 --> 00:44:21,700
That's what you're talking about.

543
00:44:22,380 --> 00:44:24,720
Now my question, I guess, would be,

544
00:44:27,750 --> 00:44:32,170
is can we provide that those funds to an entity for

545
00:44:32,170 --> 00:44:32,790
operations?

546
00:44:32,790 --> 00:44:35,450
as long as they are a non-profit.

547
00:44:38,180 --> 00:44:40,680
But the rules for where that money has to go.

548
00:44:41,220 --> 00:44:43,640
So the non-profit would have to be a designated

549
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,980
Choto, which family promises the only

550
00:44:46,980 --> 00:44:48,820
Choto that we have in town.

551
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,940
That's designated as a Choto.

552
00:44:51,220 --> 00:44:53,740
So they're the only organization at the moment

553
00:44:53,740 --> 00:44:55,360
that could utilize these funding.

554
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,340
And Choto, that's funding expires in three days, right?

555
00:44:59,520 --> 00:44:59,880
Yes.

556
00:44:59,880 --> 00:44:59,980
Thank you.

557
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,300
We have $42,000 that will go back to the HUD federal regulations at the end of the week.

558
00:45:05,540 --> 00:45:07,840
And does it have to be spent or awarded?

559
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:08,680
Spent.

560
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:13,160
How are they going to spend that much money in three days?

561
00:45:15,140 --> 00:45:18,700
Correct me if I'm wrong, Michael, but I believe most of it is already spent.

562
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,360
And this is a reimbursement.

563
00:45:24,010 --> 00:45:30,250
We might have some PO requirements that don't allow us to do this.

564
00:45:30,970 --> 00:45:34,250
If I go out and buy something, I can't come in,

565
00:45:34,410 --> 00:45:36,910
unplanned to get a PO on it.

566
00:45:37,250 --> 00:45:38,530
Does that apply to this?

567
00:45:42,020 --> 00:45:42,780
I'd have to look.

568
00:45:42,900 --> 00:45:44,480
I don't know off top of my head.

569
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:48,620
We can look at the purchasing policy.

570
00:45:53,260 --> 00:45:53,740
Kristen?

571
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,480
Kristen, I was just saying that might require a discrepancy,

572
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,360
but it's kind of more year-round.

573
00:46:09,490 --> 00:46:11,890
It honestly depends on how we're providing the funding.

574
00:46:11,890 --> 00:46:15,250
are we doing a support agreement or is the city paying for it directly?

575
00:46:16,610 --> 00:46:18,710
I would need it would be a support agreement.

576
00:46:19,890 --> 00:46:23,010
So we could get a PO pretty quickly for support agreement.

577
00:46:25,330 --> 00:46:30,770
But it will also depend on what that support agreement says as far as how we allocate the funding.

578
00:46:33,570 --> 00:46:33,790
Okay.

579
00:46:33,870 --> 00:46:34,390
Thank you.

580
00:46:34,470 --> 00:46:36,530
Do anybody have any more questions for Kristen?

581
00:46:36,990 --> 00:46:37,470
All right.

582
00:46:37,850 --> 00:46:38,170
Okay.

583
00:46:38,910 --> 00:46:39,570
Mr. Weaker.

584
00:46:43,180 --> 00:46:43,600
Thank you, Mayor.

585
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,700
Family promise owns this property currently?

586
00:46:48,660 --> 00:46:50,960
No, it has not been purchased yet.

587
00:46:51,260 --> 00:46:51,440
Okay.

588
00:46:52,220 --> 00:46:55,620
So we would invest in the property that we don't own?

589
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:05,080
Again, this is a, this is a Choto request to develop a conceptual plan to bring to you,

590
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,480
which is authorizes approved funds under Choto.

591
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:15,720
And then we would then come forward before anything happens, and request funds, the Choto funds to actually

592
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:17,760
purchase and build said building.

593
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:20,560
So, you can also require that to be purchased first.

594
00:47:21,180 --> 00:47:31,080
You have up to, so, again, I think once this is approved, we have up to four years to find and build,

595
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:38,460
or either find and build something brand new or buy an existing structure and remodel before

596
00:47:38,460 --> 00:47:40,680
the quote unquote becomes in violation.

597
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:45,940
So this is just a, again, this is just a request

598
00:47:45,940 --> 00:47:49,580
of shadow funds to develop the plan for you

599
00:47:49,580 --> 00:47:51,680
before we come back to request and funds

600
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,220
to do the actual construction.

601
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,460
Once that this is kind of developed,

602
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,380
then we'll have an idea on date.

603
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,300
How long it will take to build the exact location,

604
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:02,580
exact square footage, the exact anything

605
00:48:02,580 --> 00:48:04,040
and everything, three to miles you name it,

606
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,100
have all that stuff, and at one point

607
00:48:06,100 --> 00:48:13,860
kind of clarification. These items have broken out. And so they would not go just deposited

608
00:48:13,860 --> 00:48:19,260
into our operations. They would be, depending on how we set it up with the city, would

609
00:48:19,260 --> 00:48:24,860
either be a request we turn in to obtain the money later or it would be set aside to get back

610
00:48:24,860 --> 00:48:28,960
if something were to happen. So let's take the head compliance for consultor, for example,

611
00:48:29,060 --> 00:48:33,500
at 4,500. If something were to happen in this project didn't move forward, that money would

612
00:48:33,500 --> 00:48:37,660
to give them back, it would already be in your hands and would kind of disappear from out

613
00:48:37,660 --> 00:48:38,060
from us.

614
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,260
It's kind of my understanding of how that would work.

615
00:48:40,540 --> 00:48:45,960
So it's just not like you're handing me a check today for 33 to go run, fund the operations

616
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,100
and then hopefully come back and request you somebody.

617
00:48:50,580 --> 00:48:51,980
So, just point clarification there.

618
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:52,500
Thank you.

619
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,420
Randy, you're giving it a question?

620
00:48:58,420 --> 00:48:59,540
Not really a question.

621
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:07,060
And again, it doesn't have to do with family promise or

622
00:49:09,530 --> 00:49:10,950
with all the things that have gone

623
00:49:10,950 --> 00:49:11,710
on recently.

624
00:49:12,250 --> 00:49:14,270
I just feel really achy about this.

625
00:49:14,830 --> 00:49:20,070
And I don't know the definition of the word achy except that I feel like I'm going to be in court

626
00:49:20,070 --> 00:49:20,630
someday.

627
00:49:23,490 --> 00:49:26,170
And so I'm not going to be able to support it.

628
00:49:26,170 --> 00:49:35,230
Because at first glance, it's like, oh, it's, you know, it's just $33,000, and if we don't spend it,

629
00:49:35,890 --> 00:49:40,690
then it's going to, it's not going to go away that still taxpayer money.

630
00:49:41,450 --> 00:49:46,110
It's still federal money that citizens of the United States have provided.

631
00:49:46,710 --> 00:49:55,230
And if we just flippantly say, well, we'll just hope that this works, I got a problem with that.

632
00:49:55,230 --> 00:49:57,710
Was that a motion to the nine?

633
00:49:58,050 --> 00:49:59,130
That was a motion to deny.

634
00:50:00,350 --> 00:50:01,770
Okay, we have a motion on the floor.

635
00:50:01,910 --> 00:50:02,690
Is there a second

636
00:50:05,630 --> 00:50:08,070
of motion on the floor to deny?

637
00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:09,230
Is there a second?

638
00:50:11,930 --> 00:50:15,190
Okay, the motion dies for a lack of a second.

639
00:50:15,430 --> 00:50:17,390
Discussion continues.

640
00:50:19,390 --> 00:50:20,150
Questions anybody?

641
00:50:22,620 --> 00:50:23,440
Just for that.

642
00:50:23,980 --> 00:50:25,720
Yes, if I may.

643
00:50:26,140 --> 00:50:30,720
I just want to make sure I have a full understanding of this.

644
00:50:32,220 --> 00:50:38,900
If the money isn't spent, then the money goes back to HUD.

645
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,220
That's a correct statement.

646
00:50:42,740 --> 00:50:46,580
Is there another question?

647
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,040
Is there no other way?

648
00:50:49,140 --> 00:50:50,920
Because I share some concerns.

649
00:50:51,180 --> 00:50:56,540
Is there no other way to get a

650
00:50:58,780 --> 00:51:00,180
total cost of?

651
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,600
I mean, it might be exact because I'm listening.

652
00:51:04,540 --> 00:51:07,500
But the hesitation is, it's a commitment of funds.

653
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:09,380
You know, that's how I see it.

654
00:51:09,860 --> 00:51:11,340
If you have a commitment of funds,

655
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,720
then you've inadvertently committed to the project.

656
00:51:15,420 --> 00:51:17,260
Without knowing the full cost of the project,

657
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:20,480
or what the potential cost could be.

658
00:51:22,380 --> 00:51:24,780
So, knee-jerk reaction,

659
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:25,400
I think,

660
00:51:27,780 --> 00:51:28,200
is to,

661
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,300
yeah, let's hurry up and do something with the money

662
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:32,560
so that it doesn't go back to HUD

663
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,520
and we've utilized it toward something good.

664
00:51:36,980 --> 00:51:39,500
But it almost, for me, it almost feels rushed.

665
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:45,640
And there's a lot of questions about, can we even do it?

666
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,520
What type of commitment does this truly mean

667
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,520
once we commit to paying that, et cetera?

668
00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:55,640
So I'm going around, kind of, a circle.

669
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,700
But is this the only way that you can come close to an estimate

670
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:03,140
is to pay for these, these fees up front to have

671
00:52:03,140 --> 00:52:06,740
but architecture come in and look at the property?

672
00:52:08,580 --> 00:52:12,120
And again, my understanding of Choto, which is limited,

673
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:18,340
this approval only covers us to help develop a plan.

674
00:52:19,020 --> 00:52:26,000
It by no means says you are supporting your ready to go

675
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,200
on the next step.

676
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,160
And even if you did not, and I might be wrong,

677
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:31,940
but this is based on how to understand.

678
00:52:31,940 --> 00:52:40,120
Even if you denied our second step proposal, we would not be in violation of the use of said

679
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:46,040
Chotofons to develop the plan, because like I said, once that clock starts, it's four years

680
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,300
so if we get denied on this, say, first plan, we come back with a second plan.

681
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:54,700
We're still okay with HUD and we're not in violation.

682
00:52:54,800 --> 00:53:00,360
That's kind of my basic understanding of Chotof rules and regulations that I've been working through.

683
00:53:01,260 --> 00:53:08,320
Yes, Mr. Gibbs. I've got two questions. I heard two different things. I heard you say something

684
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:13,180
about the money would go back to HUD if we didn't spend it. But the very fact you're asking

685
00:53:13,180 --> 00:53:18,200
for it means you're going to spend it. But secondly, Charlotte said earlier that it was a

686
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,700
reimbursement that technically this money's even already been spent.

687
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:24,360
Well, I would say this to understand that.

688
00:53:25,780 --> 00:53:26,620
That's fine.

689
00:53:26,780 --> 00:53:27,580
Did I miss understanding?

690
00:53:27,860 --> 00:53:28,320
It's already been.

691
00:53:28,340 --> 00:53:30,500
No, so at least part of it has already been spent.

692
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:35,640
I don't believe the head compliance officer in that piece of it, but I do believe that

693
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:39,060
they've already gone out and had a structural engineer come out and look at the property.

694
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,940
So we couldn't pay it back even if we wanted to, all of it, right?

695
00:53:44,060 --> 00:53:50,960
So if we get to the point and it comes back at a million dollars or a million five or even two million dollars,

696
00:53:50,960 --> 00:54:00,240
then we'll either have to go forward, whatever that price is, and or we're forfeit that money, tell me where I'm wrong.

697
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:03,840
You mean forfeit the 33,000? Yes.

698
00:54:04,820 --> 00:54:09,460
And we're aware that we wouldn't, the city would not be able to fund the entire project,

699
00:54:09,580 --> 00:54:15,520
so they would have to go out for grants and other money's other than what we have set aside.

700
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,640
Okay, so let me ask you this.

701
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:26,700
Give me a little brief definition here of how these funds can be used.

702
00:54:27,260 --> 00:54:34,980
Can they be used and and can they be used for the day-to-day operations of the Choto?

703
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:36,920
Yes, they can.

704
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:43,060
We can award these funds to the Choto and we only have one.

705
00:54:43,450 --> 00:54:43,860
Yes.

706
00:54:43,860 --> 00:54:51,940
for day-to-day operations and they can use it as a reimbursement contract and I'm looking

707
00:54:51,940 --> 00:54:56,380
at two attorneys because I want to make sure and a finance director.

708
00:54:57,340 --> 00:55:03,260
And I want to make sure I'm not suggesting that this qualifies, do you understand what I'm

709
00:55:03,260 --> 00:55:03,620
saying?

710
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:10,380
Because I personally am not sold on this project yet, okay?

711
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:19,500
But I am seldom what I saw at family promises, open house, where they'd read done and remodeled and

712
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:26,680
pressured and everything, and they still didn't have everything taken care of, apparently the wash machine breaks down every day.

713
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:32,480
And so they still have needs, and what they were doing is very successful.

714
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:40,080
I've visited with some people and I was very impressed with what I saw, and I am sold on what I see there.

715
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:46,360
And there's 42,000 that's going to go back to head, right?

716
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:56,500
And are you telling me that if somebody makes a motion to award this to them for operating funds

717
00:55:57,860 --> 00:56:05,060
that we won't, we will have pumped that $42,000 into our homeless prevention plan,

718
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,980
that's really what family promise is, isn't it?

719
00:56:07,980 --> 00:56:12,840
homeless prevention, which I think is what we're all very interested in, which I think

720
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:19,780
absolutely is what the kids first homeless action plant places as a number one priority.

721
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,620
And we wouldn't lose a 42,000, and we could help you, and if you wanted to spend your

722
00:56:25,620 --> 00:56:31,040
own 33,000 to get a building plan, you could. Am I right?

723
00:56:31,780 --> 00:56:37,420
So we wouldn't be able to spend the full 42,000 on the operating costs.

724
00:56:37,420 --> 00:56:44,140
We are limited to 5% on the operating costs, but I just found out the other day, but we

725
00:56:44,140 --> 00:56:49,580
would be able to combine several years in together to help lessen that load, because if we

726
00:56:49,580 --> 00:56:56,200
don't spend all of the money, if we don't spend all of the money this year, our grant,

727
00:56:59,940 --> 00:57:01,020
our

728
00:57:01,020 --> 00:57:05,300
Okay, now we got to back up and explain to me better.

729
00:57:05,380 --> 00:57:05,820
Okay.

730
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,320
Only 5% of the 42,000 can be used for operating?

731
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,880
Yes, I just found that out this week.

732
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,580
But we can combine several years.

733
00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:20,820
We have about seven to ten years backed up that we haven't awarded for some reason.

734
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,360
I guess we have an added Jodo.

735
00:57:24,660 --> 00:57:26,660
No, they just became a Jodo last year.

736
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:27,360
Okay.

737
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:28,040
So

738
00:57:30,310 --> 00:57:36,970
then you're talking about going ahead and taking the 5% off of those and give it to them,

739
00:57:37,010 --> 00:57:40,050
but that only helps with $2,000 or something.

740
00:57:40,450 --> 00:57:48,010
That's why the other items in the agreement, the $33,000 agreement, will assist in moving forward.

741
00:57:48,630 --> 00:57:52,190
And they're not all operating costs, so they'll assist with the plan.

742
00:57:52,390 --> 00:57:55,970
And so that's where we're coming, asking for the agreement to be approved.

743
00:57:57,150 --> 00:58:02,910
Charlotte, I'm confused because it says here operating expense fund budget, so that's under

744
00:58:02,910 --> 00:58:07,570
33,000 so is that not all operating cost.

745
00:58:08,510 --> 00:58:09,390
I mean the agreement,

746
00:58:11,710 --> 00:58:16,770
page two of the agreement says operating expense funds budget 33,300.

747
00:58:17,470 --> 00:58:24,690
So, and I'm not entirely sure why it was labeled that, but it's, you've got privacy administrative

748
00:58:24,690 --> 00:58:30,010
process, part of the HUD compliance consultants, the CPA financial oversight, because there

749
00:58:30,010 --> 00:58:34,370
are ways to help protect the city's money that they've gone out and done research and

750
00:58:34,370 --> 00:58:39,350
talked to OFA and HUD and all that, and then there's architecture and structural engineer

751
00:58:39,350 --> 00:58:40,250
in the survey.

752
00:58:40,730 --> 00:58:41,090
Okay.

753
00:58:41,370 --> 00:58:42,610
I know my question.

754
00:58:43,970 --> 00:58:56,110
Is there a way to award this money to the Chodo the 42,000 that's about to expire without

755
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:04,060
using it on this project that's been presented because I don't think the Council sold on the project.

756
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:06,660
I don't think there is.

757
00:59:21,540 --> 00:59:32,120
What do you expect the decline in future grants for this purpose to be if we do not use it?

758
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:41,400
I'm not sure off the top of my head, sir. We'd have to do some research and figure out what head would say for that.

759
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,540
So we'd have to do some digging on that, but we can get that information for you.

760
00:59:46,420 --> 00:59:48,080
I don't know that we have time.

761
01:00:03,730 --> 01:00:06,110
Is this property under contract?

762
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,420
Is the property under contract?

763
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:20,860
Yes. But the everything that, like the Ernest Dominion stuff was donated, so we're okay.

764
01:00:23,870 --> 01:00:30,890
I'm not sure what that means. That means they can't, the contract won't expire before you have to do something. What does that mean?

765
01:00:30,890 --> 01:00:38,070
Well, the original plan was hopefully to come back to you and propose the entire proposal,

766
01:00:38,390 --> 01:00:42,030
but we didn't have the full amount to get all of this stuff done.

767
01:00:42,970 --> 01:00:50,070
So we did have a contract on the property, everything that goes into that, like getting the

768
01:00:50,070 --> 01:00:53,930
abstract up to date, and the earnest money was paid by donations.

769
01:00:54,750 --> 01:00:59,870
So even if we don't follow through without agreement to purchase that exact property, we

770
01:00:59,870 --> 01:01:06,050
We can still use the conceptual design that we're having developed on any property.

771
01:01:06,670 --> 01:01:10,450
The only thing additional is that we have to add a parking lot in a new slab.

772
01:01:11,890 --> 01:01:12,170
All right.

773
01:01:12,250 --> 01:01:13,270
Thank you.

774
01:01:13,490 --> 01:01:14,750
Just shut up.

775
01:01:15,650 --> 01:01:23,530
Can we award this 42,000 to 42,000 reimbursement for the remodel they just completed?

776
01:01:27,660 --> 01:01:29,440
I'm not entirely sure if we can't in the line.

777
01:01:30,460 --> 01:01:30,820
Okay.

778
01:01:30,820 --> 01:01:41,300
What if we make a motion contingent upon legal approval to award up to 42,000 to reimbursed

779
01:01:41,300 --> 01:01:50,740
them for the remodel they just completed and other capital costs like the new washing machine?

780
01:01:50,940 --> 01:01:51,680
For instance,

781
01:01:54,980 --> 01:02:01,760
that way we would pay for what's already done theoretically, Kristen,

782
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,700
and you're looking at me, do you think I'm legal?

783
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,960
No, no, you don't think I'm legal, is that what you said?

784
01:02:12,790 --> 01:02:15,650
My question operationally, Kristen, in the case,

785
01:02:15,810 --> 01:02:17,090
we need a supported agreement.

786
01:02:17,350 --> 01:02:19,530
We won't have a supported agreement in place.

787
01:02:19,930 --> 01:02:23,870
That's another issue by the end of the week.

788
01:02:24,230 --> 01:02:26,550
There's no way, you're saying that we can't

789
01:02:27,670 --> 01:02:31,850
administratively accommodate this by the end of the week.

790
01:02:31,890 --> 01:02:32,230
Okay.

791
01:02:32,230 --> 01:02:39,930
The council is going to have to approve the support agreement, I think, and we won't have

792
01:02:39,930 --> 01:02:41,210
time to do that.

793
01:02:42,710 --> 01:02:49,690
Mayor, if I may, I was just visiting with housing staff and because the existing family

794
01:02:49,690 --> 01:02:55,810
promise is considered a PSO, even though the organization is considered a Choto, the existing

795
01:02:55,810 --> 01:03:00,770
structure is a PSO, and so they would only qualify for CDVG funding at that location.

796
01:03:00,770 --> 01:03:08,650
Now, the agreement talks about finding either finding and building or finding existing

797
01:03:08,650 --> 01:03:17,290
five houses. And so we could move forward with the 42,000 for that piece and not specifically

798
01:03:17,290 --> 01:03:23,370
tie it back to 1308. Where they could go out and put it personally.

799
01:03:23,370 --> 01:03:29,310
most in that original explanation of what your staff told you.

800
01:03:29,530 --> 01:03:37,410
Okay. So the existing building, the existing family promise building on 17th Street is covered under the public service organization side of it.

801
01:03:37,430 --> 01:03:41,330
And because it's a PSO, you cannot use it as a...

802
01:03:41,330 --> 01:03:47,430
Yeah, we cannot use the home funding for it. It's only, we could only use the CDBG, and this comes out of our home funding.

803
01:03:47,430 --> 01:03:54,430
But the agreement does allow us and allows family promise to go out and look for five

804
01:03:55,370 --> 01:04:02,250
family and five houses that they could turn into their Choto program and then we wouldn't

805
01:04:02,250 --> 01:04:05,530
tie it directly back to 1308.

806
01:04:06,050 --> 01:04:08,390
Sean, how will that be spent by the end of the week?

807
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:12,440
Yeah, it's not going to happen.

808
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:18,900
I think the reality of the situation is, Randy, I'm not cutting you all family.

809
01:04:18,900 --> 01:04:25,740
I think the reality of the situation is, this has just been too last minute, to head towards

810
01:04:25,740 --> 01:04:28,440
those funds that are inspiring.

811
01:04:29,380 --> 01:04:33,440
And it's got us in a situation where we're in a no-want situation.

812
01:04:33,740 --> 01:04:40,600
We're not going to be able to award it, get the contract complete and disperse the funds in three

813
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:46,500
days, and we just have to accept it, and do a better job of planning going forward.

814
01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:47,140
So

815
01:04:50,470 --> 01:04:51,810
I may speak real quick.

816
01:04:52,470 --> 01:04:55,410
Actually, it depends on when we date the contracts.

817
01:04:56,070 --> 01:05:00,970
I can get the operational costs like turn and receipts for it

818
01:05:00,970 --> 01:05:03,230
and be re-re-re-re-to-line, yes.

819
01:05:03,830 --> 01:05:06,670
I don't think that's sent in the Council's interest

820
01:05:06,670 --> 01:05:07,070
to date.

821
01:05:09,310 --> 01:05:15,350
I'm afraid that I just don't see, I'm open to somebody else's

822
01:05:15,350 --> 01:05:24,270
guidance, staff guidance, or elected official guidance, if we could figure out a way to do it

823
01:05:24,270 --> 01:05:31,450
and not tie it to what I'm going to call that albatross building, I mean, I think actually

824
01:05:31,450 --> 01:05:36,470
the money would be better spent, and I wouldn't have a problem with it.

825
01:05:37,030 --> 01:05:40,190
I don't think we have time to do it yet.

826
01:05:40,190 --> 01:05:44,050
I can't meet the last minute time table.

827
01:05:44,670 --> 01:05:44,870
Can I?

828
01:05:45,350 --> 01:05:47,370
Let me go.

829
01:05:47,370 --> 01:05:51,030
If I may, I just want to make sure I have

830
01:05:51,030 --> 01:05:53,150
understanding one more time.

831
01:05:54,470 --> 01:05:57,850
Can you tell me again, how does this affect the future

832
01:05:57,850 --> 01:06:00,930
grants if we don't, if we don't send it?

833
01:06:01,490 --> 01:06:03,850
So if we, if the money goes back,

834
01:06:04,390 --> 01:06:06,870
we, our home funds, will decrease next year

835
01:06:06,870 --> 01:06:12,310
because we've had to recent the Choto funding back.

836
01:06:12,310 --> 01:06:18,470
Do we have any idea as to how much it would decrease by or not at this time?

837
01:06:18,470 --> 01:06:22,570
I have to do some research into what their requirements are going to be.

838
01:06:23,010 --> 01:06:27,010
We never know, we never know our numbers until usually may.

839
01:06:27,490 --> 01:06:32,770
So we just got the grant information officially this week for this fiscal year.

840
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:44,400
I would add, because the city attorney brought up the support agreements, we do, it's not

841
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:51,240
uncommon for support agreement to, like, there's still authorities as of right now that

842
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,740
don't have approved support agreements.

843
01:06:55,440 --> 01:07:05,520
So there is, we do operate with some degree of uncertainty sometimes, and we operate how we

844
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:11,660
the prior fiscal year to make sure that we're not out of compliance, but a supportive

845
01:07:11,660 --> 01:07:19,220
agreement signed sealed into liverhood is not something that we've always done before.

846
01:07:19,660 --> 01:07:28,100
So I will say that that is another context that has not been necessarily an obstacle.

847
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:34,320
I think with supportive agreements, we do have them for most of the authorities or the

848
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:39,580
like LEDC, lead, LEDA, that we give money to.

849
01:07:39,820 --> 01:07:42,520
What's bothering me about this is over the last few years,

850
01:07:42,660 --> 01:07:47,440
we've had to give back, I want to say $700,000 to head.

851
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,320
And that's something the Council has to consider

852
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:55,040
when they're deciding this, and this is very last minute.

853
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:06,920
Mr. Wigger, you have any input?

854
01:08:10,980 --> 01:08:13,700
You know, anything that stands out in my mind is right now,

855
01:08:13,700 --> 01:08:17,160
my conscience is telling me do nothing in haste.

856
01:08:20,100 --> 01:08:22,600
I'm afraid I would probably make a motion to deny.

857
01:08:24,620 --> 01:08:26,700
We have a motion to deny on the table.

858
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:27,800
Is there a second?

859
01:08:28,180 --> 01:08:29,100
There is a second.

860
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:30,020
Discussion.

861
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:32,720
Please vote.

862
01:09:05,950 --> 01:09:08,690
If you're abstaining, Councilman Williams, you need to say, why?

863
01:09:09,350 --> 01:09:11,210
I have a family member who works there

864
01:09:11,210 --> 01:09:12,690
and there would be a personal interest,

865
01:09:12,850 --> 01:09:14,670
so therefore I'm abstaining.

866
01:09:15,030 --> 01:09:15,910
So according to City Charter.

867
01:09:15,910 --> 01:09:18,070
Okay. You can abstain.

868
01:09:21,440 --> 01:09:22,940
Have you got all the votes in?

869
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,720
I do, but I have a question probably for them.

870
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:35,840
So I have four guests to deny votes, which is not the majority.

871
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:38,900
So what is the correct?

872
01:09:39,380 --> 01:09:49,320
So you have four in favor and then you have four to deny and how many to not deny.

873
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:54,900
two and one extension. That's a majority in both of the deny passes.

874
01:09:56,700 --> 01:09:57,760
Okay, deny passes.

875
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,440
Item number 25, hold the public hearing and consider

876
01:10:04,440 --> 01:10:10,360
approving amendment to the annual action plan for our FFY 2025 and authorizing

877
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:16,800
the mayor and sitting clerk to execute the revised SF424IS and grant funding

878
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:23,900
agreements for CDBG and home, along with any other documents necessary to implement plan

879
01:10:23,900 --> 01:10:24,500
document.

880
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:26,780
Good evening again.

881
01:10:27,540 --> 01:10:29,720
So this is an amendment to an annual action plan.

882
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,800
This is something that we told Council.

883
01:10:31,860 --> 01:10:35,940
We were going to bring back when we did the original amendment plan back in June.

884
01:10:36,580 --> 01:10:44,600
This is to add money to our project list for the homeless transportation program.

885
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:50,520
We have it set at $10,000, but I believe there's going to be a request to raise it to

886
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:51,000
15.

887
01:10:52,380 --> 01:10:59,700
And then this will also add in the group in planning agreements for help with our PSO metrics,

888
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:01,840
for contract to up to $100,000.

889
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:07,460
Can somebody tell me how much we spent the day since we started last November, I think it

890
01:11:08,260 --> 01:11:08,820
was?

891
01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:11,780
I would say approximately $20,000.

892
01:11:11,780 --> 01:11:23,920
Okay, why are we amended this at 10 and if I'm limited to a $5,000 floor amendment, why don't we just go back and change this to 25?

893
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:32,660
Because I have an idea, I'm going to tell you, everybody I talk to tells me they're seeing new faces on the homeless that are on the street,

894
01:11:32,660 --> 01:11:38,300
that we're getting an influx of homeless and I don't see this going down plus I'm a very

895
01:11:38,300 --> 01:11:45,380
much a supporter of it because this transportation project gets people to their families

896
01:11:45,380 --> 01:11:55,380
where they can be successful. So as my only option of floor amendment or if we spend it can we

897
01:11:55,380 --> 01:12:00,160
amend it again or do we just need to go back and amend it one time for a larger amount.

898
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,320
We can amend it one time for a larger amount.

899
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,580
We do currently have some money set aside for the program.

900
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:14,000
Earlier this year I allocated $10,000 for manager contingency funds which were currently

901
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,820
using so this amount would be a supplement to that.

902
01:12:19,020 --> 01:12:22,980
So that would get us close to the figure that you want to be at.

903
01:12:23,260 --> 01:12:29,120
Well I thought the goal was to tap into federal funds and not use our local funds.

904
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:34,400
It is certainly my goal, but it would delay us, it would delay us.

905
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:35,680
How long would it delay us?

906
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,640
We would have to do another 30-day public notice period.

907
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:43,200
Okay, I think that's worth going to 25, and I might suggest 30.

908
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:45,880
I've got a hold of public hearing.

909
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,240
At this time I'll open the public hearing.

910
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:54,880
Anybody wishing to speak on this item of CBBG and home modification?

911
01:12:55,580 --> 01:12:56,640
Please come forward.

912
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:02,620
saying none, I closed the public care and Council can I get a motion

913
01:13:02,620 --> 01:13:08,940
direct and staff to redo this raising the amount to $30,000.

914
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,140
That's motion to hear a second.

915
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:14,120
Now, what did you say, darling?

916
01:13:16,540 --> 01:13:17,220
Yes, ma'am.

917
01:13:17,740 --> 01:13:27,300
The 10,000 that we have right now we could go ahead and use that and then get the 30 day notice out

918
01:13:27,300 --> 01:13:29,100
and do an additional 15.

919
01:13:29,100 --> 01:13:36,600
and instead of waiting for it to go back out for another 30 days we have.

920
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,240
Is there any problem with doing two amendments?

921
01:13:43,460 --> 01:13:44,490
Are you okay with that?

922
01:13:45,100 --> 01:13:51,620
Okay, you mentioned the motion to accept and direct to an ending end.

923
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:53,520
For a total of 30.

924
01:13:54,660 --> 01:13:56,340
Okay, who is the second?

925
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,640
Okay, are you okay with that motion then?

926
01:14:01,020 --> 01:14:03,380
And you're okay with that second discussion.

927
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:05,540
Please vote.

928
01:14:05,780 --> 01:14:06,340
Thank you.

929
01:14:29,660 --> 01:14:31,100
Motion carries seven to zero.

930
01:14:31,260 --> 01:14:32,720
Bringing that item 26.

931
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:34,240
Hold a peppy.

932
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:40,600
Public hearing consider approving the amendment to the consolidated action plan for FY 2021.

933
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:49,680
through 2025 and authorized in the Maryland City Clerk to execute the revised SSF 424S and

934
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:56,720
grant funding agreements for CDBG along with any other documents necessary to implement the plan amendment.

935
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,980
Charlotte. Sounds like the same. It is. Yes.

936
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:07,180
This is just for our five-year consolidated plan, and just for the record, that was Christie Dement. She works in our housing department area.

937
01:15:07,420 --> 01:15:09,120
Has she got a live log, you know?

938
01:15:09,580 --> 01:15:11,820
Do you have an I live one, then? No.

939
01:15:14,260 --> 01:15:15,100
That's right.

940
01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:25,340
So yes, so this is a companion item.

941
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:32,080
And after you vote, I would like to introduce our new housing and community development administrator, so that everyone can do it.

942
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:37,180
Okay, at first I've got to open a public hearing and so I'm an open it, anybody

943
01:15:37,180 --> 01:15:39,900
which to speak on this side of please come forward.

944
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:47,300
Seeing none, I will close the public hearing, Council can have much approval,

945
01:15:49,410 --> 01:15:49,610
much

946
01:15:49,610 --> 01:15:53,150
approval and a second discussion, please vote.

947
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:05,180
Motion carries seven to zero.

948
01:16:05,820 --> 01:16:13,120
Okay, now we're going to jump to the other items concerning homeless, and we're going to

949
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:14,180
I'm 42.

950
01:16:14,940 --> 01:16:15,320
Mayor.

951
01:16:16,220 --> 01:16:16,260
Yes.

952
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:16,860
Can I help you?

953
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:17,260
Yes.

954
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:17,880
I'm sorry.

955
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,900
So as most of you are aware, Gary Brooks left us back into lies.

956
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,720
So Robert Burns is our new housing and community development administrator.

957
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:28,720
He came to us from the planning department.

958
01:16:29,580 --> 01:16:33,020
He's been in the role about a month now.

959
01:16:33,540 --> 01:16:36,100
And he is learning something new every day.

960
01:16:36,140 --> 01:16:36,800
All right.

961
01:16:38,420 --> 01:16:39,700
I gave a two.

962
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:41,600
So she'll share one over to him.

963
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:46,520
So yes, if you have anything, you can reach out to me, but we also have Robert that's available

964
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:47,440
for questions as well.

965
01:16:47,820 --> 01:16:48,180
All right, great.

966
01:16:48,500 --> 01:16:52,620
And you're getting all up to speed on all the rules, there's a lot, aren't they?

967
01:16:53,220 --> 01:16:55,840
Anything with the federal government works that way.

968
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,100
All right, I'm going to be praying for you.

969
01:17:01,210 --> 01:17:02,450
Thank you.

970
01:17:03,670 --> 01:17:05,170
You again, I love Lotton, Ben.

971
01:17:07,770 --> 01:17:07,910
All right.

972
01:17:08,810 --> 01:17:09,110
Okay.

973
01:17:09,110 --> 01:17:15,330
And now we're going to go to Item 42 to discuss artificial intelligence and CDBG homelessness

974
01:17:15,330 --> 01:17:20,850
reduction plan for a lot in residents and take action as deemed necessary.

975
01:17:20,970 --> 01:17:23,210
Council, I put this on here.

976
01:17:24,770 --> 01:17:30,890
We actually discussed it in a, and I'm going to assume that you've all read it.

977
01:17:31,330 --> 01:17:34,230
We discussed it in a homeless action committee.

978
01:17:34,230 --> 01:17:40,970
The council member, we didn't take action on it, but the council members that are the voting members of the committee

979
01:17:40,970 --> 01:17:45,670
seem to be very supportive of the general idea of it.

980
01:17:45,970 --> 01:17:51,550
It has a few components what does break down and make recommendations how you spend the money

981
01:17:51,550 --> 01:17:52,430
to me.

982
01:17:52,430 --> 01:18:02,670
The key component is involved where we basically ask artificial intelligence, chatGPT, how do we build

983
01:18:02,670 --> 01:18:11,130
homeless action plan using our CDB-GN home funds without attracting more homeless.

984
01:18:11,550 --> 01:18:16,550
Now, the reason for that is, every community I know of that's come up with the homeless

985
01:18:16,550 --> 01:18:28,970
action plan has increased their homelessness and in a discussion with Captain Brinley of the

986
01:18:28,970 --> 01:18:34,580
Salvation Army, you know, he said, if you build a thousand-bed shelter, you're going to

987
01:18:34,950 --> 01:18:43,530
you're going to attract more than a thousand. Whatever your building and supplying will not be enough,

988
01:18:43,650 --> 01:18:48,520
and you increase it, you're going to attract more people. Now I'm going to tell you,

989
01:18:51,600 --> 01:19:17,820
When we did the no-camping on municipal ordinance, there was a little bit of a law, but then when we started to deal with salvation Army, the images, even though we only had to 50 people, the image is that we've got something for homeless, and I think everybody I talked to says they're seeing more and more.

990
01:19:17,820 --> 01:19:19,480
And new faces.

991
01:19:19,980 --> 01:19:24,160
And we know that we had four dropped off from Tulsa last week.

992
01:19:25,660 --> 01:19:28,740
Now, that doesn't mean that was all that was dropped off.

993
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:33,140
We just know it for, because they showed up at the Salvation Army.

994
01:19:34,820 --> 01:19:41,880
And the other, so idea number one, is only allow your CDBG and home fans

995
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,720
when you award them to these different organizations,

996
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:48,180
with their Chodos or Public Service Organizations or whatever.

997
01:19:48,820 --> 01:19:53,860
You only allow that money to be used on people that have a connection to

998
01:19:53,860 --> 01:19:54,540
Lawton.

999
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,320
Whether they went to school here, have a previous address here, or family here

1000
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:01,960
we have to decide that.

1001
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,780
One of the things on there was a registration about I wouldn't

1002
01:20:05,780 --> 01:20:08,500
want to do that because anybody can go down register that.

1003
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:13,980
The other key component is don't add to your shelter space.

1004
01:20:13,980 --> 01:20:20,100
If you add to the shelter space, you're going to attract people, just like Captain Brenley said,

1005
01:20:21,020 --> 01:20:23,680
whatever you build isn't going to be enough.

1006
01:20:23,940 --> 01:20:25,420
I'm not interested in that.

1007
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:33,500
I'm not talking to people that are interested in attracting homeless.

1008
01:20:34,260 --> 01:20:40,020
Now, I need a little input, and what I'm looking for here is this the way you guys want to go.

1009
01:20:40,020 --> 01:20:43,980
And you give me guidance, and we will be

1010
01:20:43,980 --> 01:20:47,260
amending our homosexual plan, Ms. Williams.

1011
01:20:49,580 --> 01:20:54,860
I'm going to comment on just, I was talking to

1012
01:20:54,860 --> 01:20:56,080
one of my constituents today.

1013
01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:59,680
And I was, I'm saying exactly what the constituents

1014
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:01,380
said to me.

1015
01:21:03,870 --> 01:21:06,250
She said, I woke up early in the morning.

1016
01:21:06,770 --> 01:21:09,270
She worked for a lot of public schools. She drive me

1017
01:21:09,270 --> 01:21:17,710
the bus, school bus, and she said, there are still it coming out of my door, and she

1018
01:21:17,710 --> 01:21:27,390
said, there's still a gentleman with his pants down, pooping and urinating in the middle of

1019
01:21:27,390 --> 01:21:36,810
the road. She said, it's terrible when I do not feel safe in my own neighborhood. I was

1020
01:21:36,810 --> 01:21:44,730
yesterday go to some of my areas. There are spotted homeless persons squadling in a vacant

1021
01:21:44,730 --> 01:21:49,390
home and destroying a house, owners home.

1022
01:21:52,170 --> 01:21:56,950
Now we've had the dilapidated in D&D where people

1023
01:21:56,950 --> 01:22:04,610
houses are going to D&D lists. And what I tell the citizens I've come to for a council and

1024
01:22:04,610 --> 01:22:13,910
said, this is what some of us say it. My home has been been destroyed by some of the homeless

1025
01:22:13,910 --> 01:22:23,290
individuals. So to me, the homeless situation has got matter control. It's causing some

1026
01:22:23,290 --> 01:22:28,970
people to homes that they work there and have maintained their entire lives to try to keep

1027
01:22:28,970 --> 01:22:36,130
property, that we have some homeless individuals who are going in these vacant homes

1028
01:22:36,130 --> 01:22:40,930
and destroying the homes, so there's something that has to be done.

1029
01:22:41,210 --> 01:22:46,310
This has to cease, I don't want to see the taxpayers' money being wasted,

1030
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:49,880
they need

1031
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:54,000
to get a job and work like everybody else worked.

1032
01:22:54,620 --> 01:22:59,240
My friend's job, I was six years old, I was born new as papers.

1033
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,820
I was one of some money, guess what, I have some money.

1034
01:23:03,340 --> 01:23:06,760
Because you know what I was instilled in me.

1035
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,620
My grandmother, she was a good example.

1036
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:13,660
She was entrepreneurs, so there you are, watching my grandmother.

1037
01:23:14,780 --> 01:23:17,460
So some people have enough to go give a job.

1038
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,080
But like I say, if this homeless situation to me,

1039
01:23:21,980 --> 01:23:22,880
it's got not a control.

1040
01:23:24,340 --> 01:23:26,940
Okay, so I want to apologize to you.

1041
01:23:26,940 --> 01:23:33,420
I called on you before I let citizens that signed us, so I apologize that I did that.

1042
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:35,800
And I'm going to let other Council members speak.

1043
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:40,560
I'm going to read this statement, they kept them friendly, sent me, and then I'm going to

1044
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,480
call on two citizens that signed up.

1045
01:23:43,660 --> 01:23:48,380
This is statement from Captain Brian Brenley, Salvation Army Lawton Corps Officer.

1046
01:23:48,380 --> 01:23:54,360
I was recently asked whether there's a correlation between the increase in community resources

1047
01:23:54,360 --> 01:24:01,000
and the attraction of those who are in need. The answer is obvious. Yes, there's a direct

1048
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:08,000
correlation. Anyone with experience at distributing community resources, whether food, utilities,

1049
01:24:08,900 --> 01:24:16,220
rent assistance, clothing, household goods, or other government handouts understands this reality.

1050
01:24:16,220 --> 01:24:27,500
Those of us who provide these resources and hopes of changing lives are constantly faced with the challenge of dealing with those who are looking for long-term sustainability.

1051
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:37,080
The balance between offering help and creating long-term generational dependence has always been a tension in this country.

1052
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:44,060
is hand out to increase so to the administration cause, leaving less time, energy and capacity

1053
01:24:44,060 --> 01:24:50,620
for the transformational work, thus leading to a sustainability service, handed out

1054
01:24:50,620 --> 01:24:56,920
move on to the next person, managing resource distribution responsibly as a central if we

1055
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:02,900
want to promote real change. The Salvation Army wants to be known as a change ministry,

1056
01:25:02,900 --> 01:25:05,380
not a sustaining ministry.

1057
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:11,020
Lawton must not become known as a sustaining community.

1058
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:15,360
We must be strategic and honest about the amount of resources

1059
01:25:15,860 --> 01:25:18,120
in the impact we are having.

1060
01:25:18,380 --> 01:25:22,720
Otherwise, we risk having a reputation for attracting dependency

1061
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:27,280
instead of being known as a community of opportunity.

1062
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,120
And with that, I want to remind everybody,

1063
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:38,940
Council an audience. It is not the city of Lotton's responsibility. It is not a municipal

1064
01:25:38,940 --> 01:25:47,900
function to house people. That is not our function. Our function is primarily public safety.

1065
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:59,000
Now with that I'm going to call on David Reeves to come up who signed up to speak on this. Jerry

1066
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:05,200
Mr. Mr. Reeves. Okay. And I've already got your address this year, so David, you got three minutes.

1067
01:26:18,850 --> 01:26:29,290
There we go. In the interest of transparency, I think would be I would like to suggest that the prompt data which

1068
01:26:29,290 --> 01:26:35,150
align to the formation of this document be entered in the public record for the benefit of those

1069
01:26:36,470 --> 01:26:38,770
invested in this technology,

1070
01:26:40,830 --> 01:26:46,490
and I would also just like to caution that when it comes

1071
01:26:46,490 --> 01:26:54,050
to legal citations, a generative AI and large language models have a pretty bad record

1072
01:26:54,050 --> 01:27:05,070
right now with over 100 cases being affected by misattributions or fictitious citations.

1073
01:27:05,070 --> 01:27:13,170
in court filing over the last two years, the most recent and largest monetary sanction applied

1074
01:27:13,170 --> 01:27:23,170
for that sort of mistake is $10,000 earlier this month in the district of California.

1075
01:27:24,370 --> 01:27:26,350
And that's it. So thank you very much.

1076
01:27:26,350 --> 01:27:29,050
Okay, thank you, and I just want to reassure everybody.

1077
01:27:29,050 --> 01:27:35,870
everything we do, I, I, I, is not the end result. Our legal department is the end result

1078
01:27:35,870 --> 01:27:41,510
before we move forward with anything. And they haven't always agreed with our official

1079
01:27:41,510 --> 01:27:46,530
intelligence. So, but thank you for coming. Jerry, you want to come on that?

1080
01:27:56,210 --> 01:28:00,830
Thank you. I want to elaborate on a council person, Williams,

1081
01:28:01,030 --> 01:28:07,610
just talking about, as a citizen, I'm really concerned about it because it's put such a

1082
01:28:07,610 --> 01:28:08,790
on our community.

1083
01:28:11,390 --> 01:28:17,110
It's put a strain on our charitable agencies, particularly our churches,

1084
01:28:19,030 --> 01:28:27,830
and it's really called the financial strain on them. The hopelessness has had an effect

1085
01:28:27,830 --> 01:28:35,570
on our hospital too. They're just flooded, especially on weekends, and they can't even house

1086
01:28:35,570 --> 01:28:38,910
of them in the rooms that they have,

1087
01:28:42,530 --> 01:28:49,030
puts a car, it causes a real concern with citizens

1088
01:28:49,030 --> 01:28:50,310
when they go shopping,

1089
01:28:52,890 --> 01:28:56,650
I've heard of all the females talk about the fact that they're

1090
01:28:56,650 --> 01:29:06,270
scared to walk from the store to the car, and because they always hit up by the homeless,

1091
01:29:06,270 --> 01:29:17,510
The fifths in our, and the shoplifting in our stores is causing a tremendous increase in prices that we all have to pay.

1092
01:29:18,250 --> 01:29:34,270
Stores can't do much about it because they don't have the personnel to, well, one they have a legal concern about it, and they don't have the personnel to file the report and go to court.

1093
01:29:35,070 --> 01:29:40,610
And so what they do is just mark up the price to cover the losses.

1094
01:29:41,950 --> 01:29:51,670
Another thing is shopping carts, you see all over town, those run about $233 a piece,

1095
01:29:53,710 --> 01:29:59,530
and they're having a mark up merchandise to cover that as well.

1096
01:30:00,750 --> 01:30:16,310
The homeless hit our abandoned houses, causing fires and that's costing a lot for not only landowner, but for our city and our budgets.

1097
01:30:17,010 --> 01:30:23,610
Anyway, I was just wanting to express the concern that we all have a citizen.

1098
01:30:23,610 --> 01:30:30,730
And so I'm looking forward to any kind of progress we can make towards addressing this.

1099
01:30:30,890 --> 01:30:31,590
Thank you.

1100
01:30:31,750 --> 01:30:31,990
All right.

1101
01:30:32,030 --> 01:30:33,010
Thank you for coming.

1102
01:30:34,230 --> 01:30:35,090
Okay, Council.

1103
01:30:36,450 --> 01:30:41,010
Once again, this is about really two things to me.

1104
01:30:41,130 --> 01:30:49,090
One is do we want to put into our homosexual plan that our CDBG and homophans go for individuals

1105
01:30:49,090 --> 01:30:58,010
with a connection to lawton. And do we want to put into our CDBG home plan that while we

1106
01:30:58,010 --> 01:31:09,990
invest to improve shelter space, we do not expand the shelter space at this time. And that's

1107
01:31:09,990 --> 01:31:15,630
what I need to know from you guys. Any other comment you want on this? I think everybody knows.

1108
01:31:15,630 --> 01:31:19,310
But we cannot handle all the homeless that we're attracted.

1109
01:31:20,030 --> 01:31:22,590
We do not have enough federal funds.

1110
01:31:23,010 --> 01:31:24,910
We don't have enough local funds.

1111
01:31:25,910 --> 01:31:30,370
And we ask a question, how do we need to determine whether or not they have a connection to

1112
01:31:30,370 --> 01:31:30,430
a lot?

1113
01:31:30,630 --> 01:31:34,630
Because a lot of homeless they don't have identification, so how do you determine?

1114
01:31:34,690 --> 01:31:40,230
Well, we have organizations that help them get their ID and until then, no money is spent

1115
01:31:40,230 --> 01:31:41,430
on them.

1116
01:31:41,670 --> 01:31:45,610
But the Catholic charity sells people get their ID, and I don't think they're the only

1117
01:31:46,550 --> 01:31:54,590
So until, until they can shut that, they're not, the organizations can still serve on.

1118
01:31:55,010 --> 01:31:57,950
They just can't use our CDBG and open.

1119
01:31:58,870 --> 01:31:59,170
Okay?

1120
01:32:01,190 --> 01:32:02,450
Line did you have a question?

1121
01:32:03,370 --> 01:32:03,410
Yeah.

1122
01:32:03,410 --> 01:32:08,390
Isn't the objective to decrease the number of homeless, okay?

1123
01:32:08,690 --> 01:32:08,930
Correct?

1124
01:32:09,770 --> 01:32:16,170
And then what's the best steps that we can take as a city, as a city, to make it not a

1125
01:32:16,170 --> 01:32:19,090
great place for them to come or to even leave?

1126
01:32:19,430 --> 01:32:22,990
I think it's a bus tickets are now standing way to do it.

1127
01:32:22,990 --> 01:32:28,730
I don't know who came up with that idea, but it's a great idea, but still and all, who

1128
01:32:28,730 --> 01:32:30,870
might want what the fellow said,

1129
01:32:32,970 --> 01:32:38,010
what the charity had, the question is, if you build more

1130
01:32:38,010 --> 01:32:44,990
the young they'll come. That sounds like an old movie, but it's true. More you hand it out,

1131
01:32:45,170 --> 01:32:49,730
hand it out, the longer the more people will come up and ask for it.

1132
01:32:50,170 --> 01:32:55,230
So I can answer to your question. I do think these are two components that we need to

1133
01:32:55,230 --> 01:33:02,610
have to our toolbox to only use our funds for citizens that have a connection, which will

1134
01:33:02,610 --> 01:33:08,590
find by the time we bring this back for approval. And of course, the Council can make

1135
01:33:08,590 --> 01:33:14,950
four minutes, but I don't like the way we present the definition. And that we have a policy

1136
01:33:15,490 --> 01:33:24,090
that we do not add to our shelter space with our CDBGNO. Somebody's still free to build it,

1137
01:33:24,270 --> 01:33:28,610
but there wouldn't be allowed to use our CDBGNO funds.

1138
01:33:30,810 --> 01:33:32,590
So while I don't think it's there,

1139
01:33:32,590 --> 01:33:40,110
everything. I also think the next agenda item is important because it is an ordinance that

1140
01:33:40,110 --> 01:33:46,570
will require anybody that is camping in the city limits to have the written permission

1141
01:33:46,570 --> 01:33:53,070
of the property owner. Right now the situation we have is people trespass on to property

1142
01:33:53,470 --> 01:34:00,550
and our law enforcement can't do anything about it until they find the owner which is many

1143
01:34:00,550 --> 01:34:06,550
times out of town, get a trespassing form sign, which is only good for one year, and it

1144
01:34:06,550 --> 01:34:12,430
will cut that down where the police are able to address it immediately and help protect

1145
01:34:12,430 --> 01:34:18,470
public safety and property rights and why public safety, because everywhere you sit as

1146
01:34:18,470 --> 01:34:24,150
tents, they're not far from children, and we've got to provide safe and clean neighborhoods.

1147
01:34:24,150 --> 01:34:26,470
So I hope I answered your question.

1148
01:34:26,690 --> 01:34:31,070
I know a way and think, this is the total answer, OK?

1149
01:34:32,350 --> 01:34:33,130
Mr. Eps,

1150
01:34:37,260 --> 01:34:39,000
may I appreciate that?

1151
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:40,740
How you just explained that?

1152
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:46,180
And I think that I've got a couple of thoughts, three in particular.

1153
01:34:46,480 --> 01:34:48,080
One, I do support this.

1154
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,620
Two, it sounds like we're beating up the homeless.

1155
01:34:52,620 --> 01:34:59,460
And what I would say is that that's not the case.

1156
01:35:00,340 --> 01:35:10,260
I think that everybody has a role to play in this very complex in troubling situation.

1157
01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:15,160
And what I mean by everybody is, you know, the mayor laid out very clearly,

1158
01:35:15,940 --> 01:35:20,100
the role and the responsibility of the city, right, which is public safety.

1159
01:35:20,100 --> 01:35:27,220
And so we look at this, I think, through the lens of public safety and how do we, you know,

1160
01:35:27,480 --> 01:35:32,120
how do we ensure that we're doing that to the best of our capability?

1161
01:35:32,700 --> 01:35:40,020
The second piece, too, it is, there is an effort, there is an ongoing effort through our

1162
01:35:40,020 --> 01:35:44,580
local nonprofits on how, you know, how do we get them to collaborate together?

1163
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:45,960
That's an ongoing thing.

1164
01:35:45,960 --> 01:36:03,500
So, you know, I say to the citizens, don't think that it's not being addressed, it's just that everyone has to kind of fulfill their roles as we address this extremely complex problem because it's not a cut and drive issue.

1165
01:36:03,500 --> 01:36:04,240
But

1166
01:36:08,910 --> 01:36:11,970
I can't just men, I just remembered this slide.

1167
01:36:13,610 --> 01:36:20,150
The City Manager was in a breakout session or a class in Oklahoma City

1168
01:36:20,150 --> 01:36:24,330
about homelessness and the lady that we have hired to write our next

1169
01:36:24,330 --> 01:36:27,270
five-year plan for CDBG in home.

1170
01:36:27,870 --> 01:36:32,990
Dr. AJ Griffin is a Griffin or Griffin.

1171
01:36:32,990 --> 01:36:40,630
of it. Put this up and John took a picture and sent it to me and you can see that public

1172
01:36:40,630 --> 01:36:46,770
policy is the hardest thing away from what's going to help restore somebody. Now we're

1173
01:36:46,770 --> 01:36:54,910
using public policy buying bus tickets to get people closer to their family to affect the

1174
01:36:54,910 --> 01:37:05,470
circle. So the community has a job, and the city has a job, and the city's job's public

1175
01:37:05,470 --> 01:37:09,510
safety, and the community's jobs are restoring lives or whatever the community wants

1176
01:37:09,510 --> 01:37:17,330
it to be. Then you've got the schools and organizations, and then the closed family network

1177
01:37:17,330 --> 01:37:25,570
down to the individual, and so I wanted you to see this that it's important that we get people

1178
01:37:25,570 --> 01:37:32,770
close back to their home, and because the family they've adopted on the street is not going

1179
01:37:32,770 --> 01:37:40,670
to do an intervention. Okay? It's not going to happen, but it's also important to note there

1180
01:37:40,670 --> 01:37:46,710
are three other layers before you get to public policy of people that can have it. We're not

1181
01:37:46,710 --> 01:37:53,110
I'm going to solve the state for the country's problems by attracting more homeless here.

1182
01:37:53,830 --> 01:37:56,390
Now with that, I'll open it back up and comment, Mr. Gill.

1183
01:37:59,830 --> 01:38:08,790
We're speaking about, on 1942, spending the CDBG money only for people that have some sort

1184
01:38:08,790 --> 01:38:13,310
of a tiny lot, and then you had another comment.

1185
01:38:14,450 --> 01:38:18,770
No, no adding, no using CDBG or home.

1186
01:38:18,770 --> 01:38:31,090
no using CDBG or home funds to add shelter capacity, in other words it could be used for improvement, but not adding capacity.

1187
01:38:33,950 --> 01:38:37,770
Yeah, I was wanting to make a motion, so could make this.

1188
01:38:38,850 --> 01:38:39,530
Sure, sure.

1189
01:38:40,110 --> 01:38:41,410
Yeah, I'll go ahead.

1190
01:38:43,070 --> 01:38:47,110
You can talk after a motion's made, too, but go ahead.

1191
01:38:47,830 --> 01:38:49,870
I was just going to start them.

1192
01:38:54,450 --> 01:38:55,010
Thank you, Mayor.

1193
01:38:55,730 --> 01:38:56,870
It's not a big deal.

1194
01:38:58,410 --> 01:38:59,550
I put a lot of time in Africa.

1195
01:38:59,910 --> 01:39:02,830
This issue is not a isolated issue.

1196
01:39:03,010 --> 01:39:05,070
Everybody this country is dealing with this.

1197
01:39:05,270 --> 01:39:11,610
Here in law, and we have taken a different approach, I think, as I see it, I put down a lot

1198
01:39:11,610 --> 01:39:14,410
of houses in more and five because of this homeless problem.

1199
01:39:14,490 --> 01:39:16,630
A lot of fires and a lot of danger.

1200
01:39:18,430 --> 01:39:26,310
We just tore down a little homeless community that there were 20 people in or something.

1201
01:39:26,390 --> 01:39:35,090
One of the ladies had is getting a military, she's getting $3,500 a month, but she wants

1202
01:39:35,090 --> 01:39:37,990
to live in this kind of situation.

1203
01:39:39,650 --> 01:39:44,710
They talk about high-bearing a little barrier, and I'm trying to, probably not, is intelligent

1204
01:39:44,710 --> 01:39:47,610
and some of them, and so I break it down more this way.

1205
01:39:48,150 --> 01:39:54,010
You know, there's people that are in poverty over at the Patterson Center, we used to feed

1206
01:39:54,010 --> 01:39:54,930
over there.

1207
01:39:55,230 --> 01:39:58,190
And there were people that had vehicles, had houses, and everything, but they didn't have

1208
01:39:58,190 --> 01:39:58,990
anything to eat.

1209
01:39:59,610 --> 01:40:04,090
And they would come and have food, and they would tell me that that was the only meal that

1210
01:40:04,090 --> 01:40:05,430
they were going to have that day.

1211
01:40:06,050 --> 01:40:07,070
Those people are in poverty.

1212
01:40:07,310 --> 01:40:12,250
They're not really homeless, but it seems like lately we've been to those people in

1213
01:40:12,250 --> 01:40:18,570
our homeless community. You know, those are not the people that are going in stealing things

1214
01:40:18,570 --> 01:40:22,750
and committing crimes and breaking into houses. It is those people that are chronically

1215
01:40:22,750 --> 01:40:27,130
homeless. Those people that you see on the street that everybody's complaining about. And

1216
01:40:27,130 --> 01:40:32,010
those are the people that I think that we're dealing with. In War 5 I've been working with

1217
01:40:32,010 --> 01:40:33,610
salvation army specifically,

1218
01:40:36,030 --> 01:40:42,530
because the theft, all of the just blatant, unsafe things

1219
01:40:42,530 --> 01:40:52,410
that that community of people are bringing to my ward is just astronomical. I have dealt

1220
01:40:52,410 --> 01:41:00,970
with all of them, and it seems that I agree with the mayor that we don't need to make

1221
01:41:00,970 --> 01:41:08,430
more places for the homeless to stay, because these people don't even know how to be responsible

1222
01:41:08,430 --> 01:41:11,910
to take care of a house, to pay their bills, and to take care of those things.

1223
01:41:12,330 --> 01:41:16,870
These people have mill problems, drug problems, alcohol problems.

1224
01:41:17,510 --> 01:41:23,590
Those are the people that are causing the problem in our community, and those people that

1225
01:41:23,590 --> 01:41:29,190
are helping with poverty, helping people that have made bad decisions that need to get back

1226
01:41:29,190 --> 01:41:32,610
to responsible lifestyles, they have children, they have other things.

1227
01:41:32,950 --> 01:41:38,110
Those are not the people that I believe that we as council people have to deal with

1228
01:41:38,110 --> 01:41:41,470
because they're not the ones that are out there breaking the laws.

1229
01:41:42,490 --> 01:41:46,770
I call those homeless people in my country, my ward, my constituents because they live in

1230
01:41:46,770 --> 01:41:51,950
my ward and I have to deal with them because they have to live alongside of all the other

1231
01:41:51,950 --> 01:41:56,850
people in my ward that are constantly dealing with that.

1232
01:41:58,070 --> 01:42:04,770
The answer is not like some of the communities and I agree with the mayor that you build more places for them.

1233
01:42:05,130 --> 01:42:11,390
We had a presentation of one of the people in our community that were allowing these type of homeless people to rent houses.

1234
01:42:11,710 --> 01:42:17,650
They showed us pictures of the houses where they had to evict them because they were not paying their bills and they were not being responsible.

1235
01:42:18,010 --> 01:42:21,470
That is not the answer to build houses for them.

1236
01:42:21,470 --> 01:42:26,410
The answer is to get them some type of help to help them bring their lives back together

1237
01:42:26,410 --> 01:42:26,770
to the work.

1238
01:42:26,950 --> 01:42:31,470
They could be responsible human beings that can pay their bills, that can bathe themselves,

1239
01:42:31,830 --> 01:42:34,530
that can interact with the rest of us in our community.

1240
01:42:34,730 --> 01:42:40,010
If they live in our community, they have to follow the same rules that we live by.

1241
01:42:40,290 --> 01:42:44,070
Or else we're not going to be a community, or else we live the way they live.

1242
01:42:44,430 --> 01:42:46,510
It just is not going to work because it's polarized.

1243
01:42:46,510 --> 01:42:52,570
They're breaking the law of a business in town, $20,000 in one year they lost.

1244
01:42:52,690 --> 01:42:57,950
They were letting people take merchandise, pick it up and walk out the store, watch them, walk out the store.

1245
01:42:58,810 --> 01:43:04,870
And some of us kind of try to help them and get help them with that problem.

1246
01:43:06,090 --> 01:43:16,430
And one of the things that we're trying to do with the Salvation Army is to try to get them

1247
01:43:16,430 --> 01:43:21,030
back to their families, get them back to their support system, but also get them into resources

1248
01:43:21,030 --> 01:43:25,130
like mental health and drug and alcohol.

1249
01:43:27,290 --> 01:43:31,470
The Salvation Army has resources like that, that we are replacing people.

1250
01:43:31,470 --> 01:43:37,130
Those people go to that tent city, and at a certain point, I think it's like seven days or

1251
01:43:37,130 --> 01:43:37,310
something.

1252
01:43:37,350 --> 01:43:40,590
They have to make a decision if they're going to go somewhere to get help.

1253
01:43:41,090 --> 01:43:46,070
And there are resources that we are building over in that section.

1254
01:43:47,030 --> 01:43:48,490
Is it going to cure the problem?

1255
01:43:49,310 --> 01:43:53,970
No, not totally, but it is getting people help, getting them.

1256
01:43:53,970 --> 01:44:00,430
He places them outside of the lot of community so that they're not around their core group

1257
01:44:00,430 --> 01:44:06,850
that's enabling them to do the things that they're doing and that's to be dependent on drugs and alcohol.

1258
01:44:09,810 --> 01:44:19,170
We have to begin to spend money in our community to try to help these people regain their life back because they have no life.

1259
01:44:19,170 --> 01:44:27,370
And I think the mayor's correct, Mayor, you have said that, and really, and I haven't really

1260
01:44:27,370 --> 01:44:31,630
and I've talked about this, you build more resources than you're going to call more people

1261
01:44:31,630 --> 01:44:32,190
to come here.

1262
01:44:32,850 --> 01:44:38,750
Do we want to stop people to come here because of the mere fact that they're homeless and

1263
01:44:38,750 --> 01:44:39,810
they're causing problems?

1264
01:44:40,590 --> 01:44:42,530
That's a part of it, a small part of it.

1265
01:44:42,590 --> 01:44:47,970
The big part of it is we need to have the resources to then take care of them when they come,

1266
01:44:47,970 --> 01:44:53,210
which we're barely having the resources now to take care of the ones that are here.

1267
01:44:54,350 --> 01:44:59,970
So, I think as you look at this homeless problem, personally yourself, you need to think...

1268
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:06,840
You can people that are in poverty and you need to think of people that have went past poverty and now are chronically

1269
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:15,400
homeless and can't even help themselves. This year, quickly, we were called together the mayor and

1270
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:20,220
on the city manager, police chief. We all went to a business and talked to some business people that

1271
01:45:20,220 --> 01:45:29,980
were having problems. And those people were having problems like the homeless would stop their

1272
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:39,960
Problems that most people don't even hear about, we have answers, it is no doubt that we

1273
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:45,220
have answers and we have meetings with different people in town to try to deal with this problem.

1274
01:45:46,380 --> 01:45:52,980
But I agree with the mayor that we can't use our funding to build more places for homeless

1275
01:45:52,980 --> 01:45:57,160
until we have a plan to be able to help those that we have.

1276
01:45:57,740 --> 01:46:01,480
Like I said, not to get them out, but to help them to be responsible.

1277
01:46:02,020 --> 01:46:05,400
You see a person walking out of the street in the middle of the street, like they want to

1278
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:05,780
get hit.

1279
01:46:06,180 --> 01:46:07,620
That person's got some problems.

1280
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:12,340
Do we need to help them, yes, we do, and we need to find a place to help them.

1281
01:46:12,460 --> 01:46:13,160
I got you, Mayor.

1282
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:19,680
This is just a real passionate thing for me, because I really, really, really had to really

1283
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:22,480
dig deep to try to deal with this and just real quickly.

1284
01:46:22,480 --> 01:46:30,180
I have one of my neighborhood services group that is putting together a non-profit organization

1285
01:46:30,180 --> 01:46:34,620
in one of my areas to try to see what they can do to have more houses built back into

1286
01:46:34,620 --> 01:46:38,880
their community because of the amount of houses that we've tore down because they burnt.

1287
01:46:39,420 --> 01:46:39,700
Thank you, Mayor.

1288
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:48,820
I have a motion.

1289
01:46:49,660 --> 01:46:50,460
I have a motion.

1290
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:51,440
I have a motion.

1291
01:46:51,820 --> 01:46:58,180
I have a motion that to see the Beijing Funds be connected for citizens that has a connection

1292
01:46:58,180 --> 01:47:07,140
to allow you and do not add our shelter-based with CDBG funds for the safety of the citizens.

1293
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,380
And update the kids' first homeless action plan?

1294
01:47:12,460 --> 01:47:13,540
Okay, he's going to second it.

1295
01:47:14,500 --> 01:47:14,800
Okay.

1296
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:16,180
Discussion?

1297
01:47:17,460 --> 01:47:18,060
Thank goodness.

1298
01:47:18,700 --> 01:47:19,140
Please vote.

1299
01:47:37,430 --> 01:47:40,270
Motion carries seven to zero, bringing up item 43.

1300
01:47:40,270 --> 01:47:45,290
Council, I want to tell you this is about the same discussion I'm going to read it, but the

1301
01:47:45,290 --> 01:47:51,170
faster you pass this, the faster we take a break. Consider proving an ordinance, creating

Mr. Guil.

I move to approve the ordinance, wait the reading of the ordinance, read the title only.

Please vote.

1316
01:49:15,510 --> 01:49:16,190
I'll read the title.

1317
01:49:16,450 --> 01:49:16,590
Yeah.

1318
01:49:16,670 --> 01:49:19,030
And Mayor, this will also have to vote on the emergency.

1319
01:49:19,370 --> 01:49:19,910
So, be to vote.

1320
01:49:20,690 --> 01:49:26,550
And ordinance pertaining to offenses and crimes, creating division 16-3-2.

convocation, declaring emergency.

1331
01:50:37,010 --> 01:50:42,750
Please, Mayor, you want to make a motion to declare emergency safety.

1332
01:50:43,050 --> 01:50:43,890
We got to take two votes.

1333
01:50:44,850 --> 01:50:45,110
Okay.

1334
01:50:46,470 --> 01:50:46,550
Sorry.

1335
01:50:46,870 --> 01:50:49,790
Please make a motion so we can roll right into it.

1336
01:50:49,890 --> 01:50:54,310
We have a motion to declare emergency on the item we're voting on.

1337
01:50:54,910 --> 01:50:56,030
There is a second.

1338
01:50:56,070 --> 01:50:57,570
We'll vote in a minute.

1339
01:51:08,850 --> 01:51:09,750
Motion carries.

1340
01:51:10,210 --> 01:51:12,370
Now we, let's vote on the emergency.

1341
01:52:04,710 --> 01:52:07,390
Mayor, it's not showing, but that passed seven to zero.

1342
01:52:08,070 --> 01:52:10,350
Pass seven to zero, but it's not wanting to pull up.

1343
01:52:11,590 --> 01:52:15,930
Okay, okay, the emergency motion passes seven to zero.

1344
01:52:16,450 --> 01:52:18,630
We're going to take a 10-minute break.

1345
01:52:19,850 --> 01:52:22,610
That is eight, 24, Council.

1346
01:52:22,910 --> 01:52:23,670
Eight, 24.

1347
02:01:39,440 --> 02:01:40,920
First of all, please take your seat,

1348
02:02:03,660 --> 02:02:08,400
member 27. And no one ends up mending personnel policy. You know, before I start

1349
02:02:08,400 --> 02:02:28,400
raising these council, these are all pretty much just kind of housekeeping. I didn't see anything in any other. So since we want to get out here before 11, maybe if it's not important, we don't say it.

1350
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:37,760
And the ordinance of Manning Personal Pulse is in Procedures section 1713127, Division 17133, Article

1351
02:02:37,760 --> 02:02:43,680
1711, Chapter 17, Law in City Code 2015, by clarifying the amount of time and employment

1352
02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:50,740
given before separation from employment, to be eligible for rehire, removing language that

1353
02:02:50,740 --> 02:02:57,680
allowed, to be taken during the notice of separation of separation time frame provided

1354
02:02:57,680 --> 02:03:01,000
for sub-building and established and effective day Craig.

1355
02:03:01,960 --> 02:03:09,420
This section specifically just changed the time of a notice of separation to 30 calendar

1356
02:03:09,420 --> 02:03:16,220
days for executive employees and 14 calendar days instead of two weeks for general employees.

1357
02:03:16,740 --> 02:03:24,100
And it also took out the verbiage that said that an employee could take leave time to satisfy

1358
02:03:24,100 --> 02:03:25,540
that notice of separation.

1359
02:03:26,880 --> 02:03:30,040
Now, they will not be able to take lead during that time.

1360
02:03:30,720 --> 02:03:31,140
Mr. Gill.

1361
02:03:33,440 --> 02:03:36,380
Mr. Mayor, I may move to approve of the ordinance.

1362
02:03:36,820 --> 02:03:38,080
Wait the reading of the ordinance.

1363
02:03:38,640 --> 02:03:39,440
Read the title only.

1364
02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:41,920
We have a second, please read the title.

1365
02:03:42,380 --> 02:03:45,760
In order to amend personal policy and procedures, section 17,

1366
02:03:46,060 --> 02:03:51,860
1, 3, 1, 2, 7, division 17, 1, 3, article 17, 1, chapter 17,

1367
02:03:51,860 --> 02:03:56,960
throughout the city code 2015 by clarifying the amount of time an employee must give before

1368
02:03:56,960 --> 02:04:02,100
separation from employment to be eligible for rehire, removing language that allowed

1369
02:04:02,100 --> 02:04:06,740
leave to be taken during the notice of separation time frame, providing for

1370
02:04:06,740 --> 02:04:08,860
severability and establishing effective date.

1371
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:09,200
Please,

1372
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:17,680
Matt.

1373
02:04:17,940 --> 02:04:18,360
Thank you.

1374
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:19,060
Thank you.

1375
02:04:21,380 --> 02:04:22,640
Thank you.

1376
02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:25,060
Thank you.

1377
02:04:25,060 --> 02:04:26,020
Thank you.

1378
02:04:26,020 --> 02:04:26,620
Thank you.

1379
02:04:26,620 --> 02:04:28,820
demanding personnel policies and procedures.

1380
02:04:29,900 --> 02:04:35,620
Section 1714440, Division 1714, Article 171, Chapter 171,

1381
02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:40,500
Chapter 171, Lawton City, Code 2015 by Mending the Notice Time

1382
02:04:40,500 --> 02:04:43,960
at General Employee's Yelper Vide Prior to Separation from Service.

1383
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:47,660
Badding there if an employee submits a notice of separation

1384
02:04:47,660 --> 02:04:51,460
for a specific date, management may shorten the time

1385
02:04:51,460 --> 02:04:55,160
for the good of the service, renundering the section of code

1386
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:58,020
to correspond to the numbering where it belongs,

1387
02:04:58,580 --> 02:05:02,160
providing perceivability and establishing at effective date.

1388
02:05:03,300 --> 02:05:07,220
This is another section of code that reference two weeks,

1389
02:05:07,500 --> 02:05:09,320
notice a separation for general employees.

1390
02:05:09,980 --> 02:05:13,440
So we once again had to change this to 14 calendar days,

1391
02:05:13,860 --> 02:05:16,740
an executive level employees to 30 calendar days.

1392
02:05:17,300 --> 02:05:22,720
We also added that if an employee gives their 30 day or 14 day notice

1393
02:05:22,720 --> 02:05:29,820
that the manager has the option of accepting that resignation immediately, and employment will

1394
02:05:29,820 --> 02:05:35,180
cease, and that's for good of the service, whatever he, there's people that may work here

1395
02:05:35,180 --> 02:05:40,720
that's in very sensitive positions, and that just gives the manager the authority.

1396
02:05:41,340 --> 02:05:45,760
Mr. Keele, Mr. Barr, I move you to approve the ordinance, play the reading of the ordinance,

1397
02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:47,020

1403
02:06:16,620 --> 02:06:22,360

1404
02:06:22,360 --> 02:06:24,640

1405
02:06:25,040 --> 02:06:25,680
Please vote,

a set of billet and establish a failure date.

1412
02:07:08,360 --> 02:07:10,160
Give us the Readers Digests.

1413
02:07:10,220 --> 02:07:13,900
This was an air-incode referencing the wrong paid plan.

1414
02:07:14,120 --> 02:07:14,800
And we fixed that.

1415
02:07:14,960 --> 02:07:15,440
Mr. Guillard.

1416
02:07:15,840 --> 02:07:16,420

immediately prior to separation from city employment

1437
02:08:34,480 --> 02:08:38,060
and that is now the notice and separation time.

1438
02:08:39,060 --> 02:08:41,920
Also sick leave, it specifies that sick leave

1439
02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:45,060
is not authorized during the notice and separation time.

1440
02:08:45,060 --> 02:08:51,640
However, the manager can wait that due to a serious medical condition and it mostly added

1441
02:08:51,640 --> 02:08:58,240
that if an employee fails to give the proper notice of separation notice that they

1442
02:08:58,240 --> 02:09:03,700
forfeit any accrued sick leave not counting historical sick leave that they had on the

1443
02:09:03,700 --> 02:09:03,940

02:09:04,180 --> 02:09:06,020

1545
02:16:57,920 --> 02:17:00,200
There's really no purpose for golf carts to be.

1546
02:17:00,200 --> 02:17:07,920
in that area, they don't bring their golf carts with them, and the last part, guess what's

1547
02:17:07,920 --> 02:17:09,020
it the only thing?

1548
02:17:09,500 --> 02:17:12,740

1562
02:18:38,410 --> 02:18:46,430
Yes, this ordinance is in reflection from the five companies, and this code will require anyone

1563
02:18:46,430 --> 02:18:50,710
who boars in the street right of way or easement to obtain a permit, so we can keep record

1564

1581

the city so we could keep track of their insurance and again know who is in our right

1583
02:20:53,360 --> 02:20:53,740
way.

1584
02:20:54,040 --> 02:20:58,060
Mr. Mayor, another excellent ordinance, I'm moved to approve this ordinance, way to the

1585
02:20:58,060 --> 02:21:02,000
reading of the ordinance read the title only, please read the title.

1586
02:21:17,920 --> 02:21:20,020
the next six,

1587
02:21:24,880 --> 02:21:26,660
the win eight,

1588
02:21:30,580 --> 02:21:31,520
I always remember.

1589
02:21:31,840 --> 02:21:31,860
So, I do remember, we're just going to

1590
02:21:31,860 --> 02:21:31,880
the next six six, six six, 16,

1591
02:21:31,880 --> 02:21:31,960
six eight, 17, 17.

1592
02:21:31,960 --> 02:21:37,360
Boarding Contractor's registration is required to obtain a paving cut excavation,

1593
02:21:37,660 --> 02:21:44,460
a point for providing for survivability and the effective date would be 30 days after

1594
02:21:44,460 --> 02:21:44,820
passage.

1595
02:21:45,720 --> 02:21:45,820
Please.

1596
02:21:46,100 --> 02:21:46,740
Please vote.

1597
02:21:56,580 --> 02:22:02,000
Motion carries seven of the C.B., bringing up item 38, consider proven resolution,

1598
02:22:02,280 --> 02:22:07,800
amending appendix size, schedule of fees, and charges, and appendix B bond schedule.

1599
02:22:07,800 --> 02:22:17,120
lot in CTC 2015, pertaining to Article A22, Chapter 20, Paving Cets and Excavation, by adding

1600
02:22:17,120 --> 02:22:23,860
a fee for boring permits under a under or within street right of way for public easements,

1601
02:22:24,520 --> 02:22:32,040
establishing a fee in Article A66 pertaining to contractors registration by creating an annual

1602
02:22:32,040 --> 02:22:39,600
and renewal fee for such registration, and establishing a surrogly bond amount for excitation

1603
02:22:39,600 --> 02:22:46,760
boring contractors by creating Article B663605, Christy.

1604
02:22:47,400 --> 02:22:49,140
I think the title covers it.

1605
02:22:49,300 --> 02:22:52,100
I'm just aware, I think this is another excellent ordinance.

1606
02:22:53,220 --> 02:22:56,480
I'm going to approve the ordinance for the reading of the ordinance for the title only.

1607
02:22:57,160 --> 02:22:58,100
Please read the title.

1608
02:22:58,100 --> 02:23:00,260
It's not an ordnance, I don't know.

1609
02:23:00,680 --> 02:23:01,880
Oh, they didn't.

1610
02:23:02,280 --> 02:23:03,260
It's a resolution.

1611
02:23:03,260 --> 02:23:03,640
Resolution.

1612
02:23:03,880 --> 02:23:04,700
Well, same thing goes.

1613
02:23:04,720 --> 02:23:06,020
Right, let's vote.

1614
02:23:06,060 --> 02:23:06,900
Let's vote on it.

1615
02:23:08,360 --> 02:23:08,600
All right.

1616
02:23:08,880 --> 02:23:09,640
That's just a question.

1617
02:23:11,960 --> 02:23:12,780
Are we voting?

1618
02:23:15,460 --> 02:23:16,960
Motion carries seven to zero.

1619
02:23:17,280 --> 02:23:18,460
Bringing up item 39.

1620
02:23:18,760 --> 02:23:19,940
We're back to an ordinance.

1621
02:23:20,560 --> 02:23:22,280
Consider approving an ordinance.

1622
02:23:22,640 --> 02:23:27,100
Modifying section 24 to 4024403.

1623
02:23:27,100 --> 02:23:38,260
4403 and 24405 article 24 and rescinding figure 1 chapter 20 lot in city code 2015 by

1624
02:23:39,140 --> 02:23:46,980
pertaining to 2015 pertaining to revocal communication cable and pipeline permit by updating

1625
02:23:47,470 --> 02:23:53,640
where such permits are applied for and modifying that the revocal permit is for an indefinite

1626
02:23:53,640 --> 02:23:58,960
term until said Burmett has terminated or revoked, providing for severability,

1627
02:23:59,280 --> 02:23:59,660
Christy.

1628
02:24:00,220 --> 02:24:04,800
This kind of puts in line this revocal payment with other revocal permits that the city has,

1629
02:24:05,040 --> 02:24:08,880
Council of revocal payment, administrative revocal payments, those encroachments are a lot

1630
02:24:08,880 --> 02:24:13,820
to stay until we revoke that permit, so this is just changing the language to be in line

1631
02:24:13,820 --> 02:24:15,800
with the rest of those easier to track.

1632
02:24:16,180 --> 02:24:19,960
Mr. Mayor, I move to approve the ordinance, lay the read of the ordinance read the title

1633
02:24:21,780 --> 02:24:32,100
And in order to modify sections 24, 402, 24, 403, 24, 405, Article 24, and rescinding

1634
02:24:32,100 --> 02:24:37,700
figure 1, Chapter 20, Law and City Code 2015, pertain to revocable communications, cable

1635
02:24:37,700 --> 02:24:43,680
and pipeline permit by updating where such permits are applied for and modifying that the

1636
02:24:43,680 --> 02:24:49,240
revocable permit is for an indefinite term until said permit is terminated or revoked, providing

1637
02:24:49,240 --> 02:24:53,900
for suburbility, if passed, would take to date be 30 days after passage.

1638
02:24:56,500 --> 02:24:59,300
Chris, please vote. I got lost.

1639
02:25:09,440 --> 02:25:15,220
Motion carries seven to zero, bringing out item 40, consider proving a resolution,

1640
02:25:15,500 --> 02:25:22,280
amending appendix A, schedule of fees and charges, a lot in City Code 2015, pertained article

1641
02:25:22,280 --> 02:25:27,860
24, chapter 20, revocable communications, cable and pipeline permit.

1642
02:25:27,860 --> 02:25:34,740
I'm modifying that the annual fee is a use fee and not a review fee and by establishing

1643
02:25:34,740 --> 02:25:42,300
an inspection fee for any requested or required inspection outside of the initial construction

1644
02:25:42,300 --> 02:25:43,280
Christie.

1645
02:25:43,760 --> 02:25:46,460
I think the title of pretty much covers it here in extra questions.

1646
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:49,140
Mr. Mayer, I make a motion to approve this resolution.

1647
02:25:50,160 --> 02:25:52,860
We have a second, we'd have a second, please vote,

1648
02:26:01,330 --> 02:26:03,070
motion carries seven to zero, bringing

1649
02:26:03,070 --> 02:26:09,990
have 41, consider suspending approvals of new fiber installation from any company that has

1650
02:26:09,990 --> 02:26:16,670
not submitted surveyed record as built drawings for review and approval in accordance with

1651
02:26:16,670 --> 02:26:23,650
their agreement permit and also consider resending any approvals for fiber installation that

1652
02:26:23,650 --> 02:26:31,310
is yet to be installed until such time the required surveyed record record as build drawings

1653
02:26:31,310 --> 02:26:33,850
have been submitted and approved.

1654
02:26:34,290 --> 02:26:40,370
Yeah, this would just give staff a little bit of teeth if there's a fiber company that has

1655
02:26:40,370 --> 02:26:44,910
not fulfilled their agreement by submitting worker drawings for their locations.

1656
02:26:45,430 --> 02:26:51,630
It'd be able to stop approvals or stop any new and installation until they're current

1657
02:26:51,630 --> 02:26:52,610
with their agreement.

1658
02:26:53,070 --> 02:26:55,570
Mr. May, I'm making motion too, please.

1659
02:26:55,850 --> 02:26:56,310
Sir, second.

1660
02:26:56,310 --> 02:26:57,810
Would you have a second, please,

1661
02:27:05,860 --> 02:27:10,120
but I'm going to carry seven to zero, bringing up item four,

1662
02:27:10,360 --> 02:27:17,280
just guess section seven, if Council policy 106, is it relates to committees, take action,

1663
02:27:17,500 --> 02:27:20,820
is deemed necessary, and may I pro-tem?

1664
02:27:22,700 --> 02:27:27,580
Mayor and Council, I'm going to, I'm going to read this really quick, I took all my time to

1665
02:27:27,580 --> 02:27:28,260
type it.

1666
02:27:30,020 --> 02:27:32,040
That way I won't ramble, maybe.

1667
02:27:33,160 --> 02:27:37,100
There's a core problem with the way that we do appointments,

1668
02:27:38,090 --> 02:27:42,960
because what happens is you could serve your whole first term

1669
02:27:42,960 --> 02:27:45,620
and not get to pick any of your appointments.

1670
02:27:46,520 --> 02:27:52,660
So you're actually at the mercy of your previous councilperson's

1671
02:27:52,660 --> 02:27:53,560
appointments.

1672
02:27:56,850 --> 02:28:01,090
And they end up serving under multiple different officials.

1673
02:28:01,470 --> 02:28:06,150
It matters because the citizens elected you,

1674
02:28:06,710 --> 02:28:08,670
not your predecessor.

1675
02:28:09,530 --> 02:28:14,030
And the whole point is that a lot of that work that we vote on here

1676
02:28:14,030 --> 02:28:19,990
gets taken care of in committees and authorities and in places like that.

1677
02:28:20,510 --> 02:28:24,390
So you're limited on what you get to vote on because of committees

1678
02:28:24,390 --> 02:28:29,770
and such things like that, so you should be able to appoint the people that belong on those

1679
02:28:29,770 --> 02:28:30,370
committees.

1680
02:28:32,810 --> 02:28:41,890
It also protects new council people. There's been situations where citizen groups

1681
02:28:41,890 --> 02:28:49,890
or citizens, the community have put pressure on new council people to try to keep an appointment

1682
02:28:49,890 --> 02:28:56,070
there that they didn't get an opportunity to make. It's like, you know, they, and so this will,

1683
02:28:56,070 --> 02:28:57,950
this will fix that, hopefully.

1684
02:29:00,390 --> 02:29:05,230
I've got two options. What my motion will eventually be,

1685
02:29:05,770 --> 02:29:14,570
is to direct staff to bring back an actual ordinance that will cover most of the items and also

1686
02:29:14,570 --> 02:29:23,870
policy and the ordinance portion of that is because that makes it a legally binding and gives guidance to the administration.

1687
02:29:24,970 --> 02:29:41,670
It ensures public input on all appointments provides a stronger legal foundation for enforcement and ensures appointment reforms have a lasting impact beyond just a single tenure.

1688
02:29:43,650 --> 02:29:45,670
I think it's just a good plan.

1689
02:29:46,110 --> 02:29:50,450
It doesn't hurt anybody, it doesn't cause a problem anywhere.

1690
02:29:52,250 --> 02:29:59,550
The policy portion of it, basically, would I want it to say that the city council will not receive any nominations.

1691
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:17,780
Take any appointments of any appointee that has served on the same board, commission, committee authority, or any other appointed position for more than nine consecutive years without laying off for a term of three years.

1692
02:30:18,120 --> 02:30:19,100
In other words,

1693
02:30:21,810 --> 02:30:24,710
don't we consider you appointed?

1694
02:30:26,210 --> 02:30:33,750
Yes. Okay, so I don't like. I don't like adding or any other appointed position. Can you

1695
02:30:33,750 --> 02:30:35,990
strike that? I think it has the same effect.

1696
02:30:46,210 --> 02:30:48,290
You said any other appointed position.

1697
02:30:49,030 --> 02:30:49,270
You also,

1698
02:30:54,460 --> 02:30:58,980
I mean, here's a movie, this particular, those guys serve for me.

1699
02:30:58,980 --> 02:31:05,140
Well, I think that may not be such a hurting thing. It's not really talking about an appointment

1700
02:31:05,140 --> 02:31:13,380
up here, it's a talking about an appointment to a committee or a commission or a board or a board or something like that.

1701
02:31:13,480 --> 02:31:14,900
It's not really talking about us.

1702
02:31:15,420 --> 02:31:16,060
But welcome and one.

1703
02:31:16,240 --> 02:31:20,200
If it's helpful, we can call the board appointees and nominees.

1704
02:31:20,600 --> 02:31:22,660
That's actually what they are to the council members.

1705
02:31:25,820 --> 02:31:28,980
And I think that will take care of that.

1706
02:31:28,980 --> 02:31:39,500
And then this proposed ordinance basically just says that the terms of, and it's got a

1707
02:31:39,500 --> 02:31:44,340
lot of language in there because you have to be able to time everything, right?

1708
02:31:45,280 --> 02:31:52,080
But the appointees follow the appointer or the nominators.

1709
02:31:52,120 --> 02:31:53,040
The elected officials.

1710
02:31:53,340 --> 02:31:54,380
Yeah, the elected officials.

1711
02:31:54,380 --> 02:32:04,360
So once you, if you lose, your appointees basically are finished at the end of that turn.

1712
02:32:05,240 --> 02:32:15,200
Then the person that replaces you gets to fill those seats, either with the same people if they want to, as long as they haven't served more than nine years.

1713
02:32:16,720 --> 02:32:20,780
But it gives us the opportunity to fill all those positions.

1714
02:32:20,780 --> 02:32:29,760
I would make a motion that we direct staff to create that policy and that ordinance and bring it back at the next meeting.

1715
02:32:31,660 --> 02:32:38,060
Okay, I'm going to ask for a friendly amendment because tonight you had board appointments,

1716
02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:55,840
I don't think we need to be discussing people and having people objected to the Council member appointed them, only elected officials to ask you to add to your motion,

1717
02:32:56,540 --> 02:33:03,540
that we add to the policy that it will not be pulled for discussion, board appointments,

1718
02:33:03,900 --> 02:33:10,040
or board nominations will not be pulled for discussion, maybe other than by Council members.

1719
02:33:10,400 --> 02:33:12,080
Maybe that would be the one to go.

1720
02:33:12,380 --> 02:33:13,920
I would make that amendment.

1721
02:33:14,620 --> 02:33:17,540
And as you take that as your second, okay.

1722
02:33:18,340 --> 02:33:18,840
Discussion?

1723
02:33:20,140 --> 02:33:21,040
Please vote.

1724
02:33:30,320 --> 02:33:39,600
Motion carries seven to zero bringing up item to receive a presentation from staff on specialized traffic warning signs, Michael.

1725
02:33:46,920 --> 02:33:50,960
Is that on?

1726
02:33:52,420 --> 02:33:53,120
No, it is.

1727
02:33:53,840 --> 02:33:54,360
Good evening, Council.

1728
02:33:54,520 --> 02:33:58,760
It's not a have a presentation regarding specialized traffic warning signs.

1729
02:33:59,300 --> 02:34:02,740
This met the Streets and British Committee last week.

1730
02:34:02,740 --> 02:34:07,760
And if you're asked to brief counsel on it, no action is requested on this item.

1731
02:34:07,780 --> 02:34:09,740
This is just for informational use only.

1732
02:34:10,980 --> 02:34:12,360
Don't want to get a slide.

1733
02:34:15,330 --> 02:34:16,630
They're on the agenda.

1734
02:34:21,040 --> 02:34:23,120
I'll go ahead and get started while we wait for the slides to begin.

1735
02:34:23,900 --> 02:34:28,500
So the purpose of this is to basically discuss non-regulated signs.

1736
02:34:29,080 --> 02:34:34,180
So we have no decent bridges and building development committee has no plans to deny these types of

1737
02:34:34,180 --> 02:34:38,460
in the future. This is still going to be a council member. We will still be able to request

1738
02:34:38,460 --> 02:34:43,120
them and City Council still has a approval to install those signs. Again, this is just

1739
02:34:43,120 --> 02:34:49,000
a information only to ensure that informed decisions are made by council background. So,

1740
02:34:49,000 --> 02:34:53,620
some of the signs that we are specifically talking about are children at play, autistic child,

1741
02:34:53,740 --> 02:34:58,900
blind child, and deaf child signs. These types of signs are not approved in the MUTCD,

1742
02:34:59,080 --> 02:35:03,820
which is a manual of uniform traffic control devices. City code currently does require

1743
02:35:04,180 --> 02:35:11,280
to use the MUTCD, ultimately because these signs are not in the MUTCD, they're not really enforceable.

1744
02:35:11,440 --> 02:35:15,000
There's no regulation that goes along with them.

1745
02:35:17,910 --> 02:35:23,690
And because there's no, because there's no, sorry, back it up.

1746
02:35:24,130 --> 02:35:29,650
Because it's not in the MUTCD, there is no specific laws or regulations that govern them.

1747
02:35:29,750 --> 02:35:34,190
So for example, we could have an autistic child sign up or a children that play sign up in a neighborhood.

1748
02:35:34,190 --> 02:35:37,850
There is no regulation that says that people will slow down during the

1749
02:35:37,850 --> 02:35:38,090
sign.

1750
02:35:38,350 --> 02:35:41,110
They just basically are there to serve as a warning to the public.

1751
02:35:42,850 --> 02:35:46,470
We do have some potential legal liabilities when it comes to these types of

1752
02:35:46,470 --> 02:35:49,070
signs as well and we'll discuss those real quick.

1753
02:35:49,870 --> 02:35:52,770
So as mentioned, there is no standard that exists for these types of

1754
02:35:52,770 --> 02:35:53,050
signs.

1755
02:35:53,250 --> 02:35:54,270
It's not in the MUTCD.

1756
02:35:54,430 --> 02:35:56,230
It's not a standard sign for these.

1757
02:35:56,970 --> 02:36:00,310
You can kind of see what we're talking about up in here.

1758
02:36:01,610 --> 02:36:06,470
They're typically going to be strongly discouraged in the MUTCD, because they do not specify

1759
02:36:06,470 --> 02:36:07,090
location.

1760
02:36:07,350 --> 02:36:12,290
They do not provide actual information to a driver, and it relies on an emotional peel rather

1761
02:36:12,290 --> 02:36:14,290
than a clear traffic control standard.

1762
02:36:16,390 --> 02:36:22,070
This is what our current city code, and MUTCD, and MUTCD says.

1763
02:36:24,290 --> 02:36:26,950
Ultimately, again, these signs are not enforceful.

1764
02:36:27,130 --> 02:36:28,050
There's no legal basis.

1765
02:36:28,050 --> 02:36:32,730
there's lack of a clear meaning and there is no current or no currently, there's no

1766
02:36:32,730 --> 02:36:34,790
requirements to renew these science.

1767
02:36:34,890 --> 02:36:39,990
So families can move, children can become adults, which negate for the need for these

1768
02:36:39,990 --> 02:36:41,890
science and these science just stay up currently.

1769
02:36:44,170 --> 02:36:48,330
Multiple studies have shown that these types of science do not actually provide any kind of enhancement

1770
02:36:48,330 --> 02:36:49,250
to safety.

1771
02:36:50,110 --> 02:36:52,610
You can see other different studies that we have in here.

1772
02:36:52,750 --> 02:36:57,470
We did attach those items to the actual agenda so you can review those if you have the

1773
02:36:57,470 --> 02:37:02,370
to or want to look at them. We do have some potential legal liabilities with these types of

1774
02:37:02,370 --> 02:37:08,230
signs. So, for example, if we put these signs up, a family relies on that sign. It could

1775
02:37:08,230 --> 02:37:12,850
and they lead to an accident. The city could theoretically be held liable for that. It also

1776
02:37:12,850 --> 02:37:18,490
fosters driver disrespect towards other signs, just having too many signs out there. Can lead

1777
02:37:18,490 --> 02:37:27,450
to effectiveness and misleading information, loss of governmental immunity and there's a

1778
02:37:27,450 --> 02:37:31,470
Currently, our peer cities do not allow these types of science with the exception of broken

1779
02:37:31,470 --> 02:37:36,530
arrow that you do not currently, according to their director of public works, but they have in the past.

1780
02:37:38,150 --> 02:37:43,050
Our expected way forward is we are going to be presenting an update to the neighborhood traffic

1781
02:37:43,050 --> 02:37:47,910
calling policy based on just putting in a paragraph in there so that we have future council

1782
02:37:47,910 --> 02:37:52,330
members or aware of this when I have an brief this every few months or every few years.

1783
02:37:53,210 --> 02:37:56,310
And ultimately it's still going to be, again, up to the council member when they receive

1784
02:37:56,310 --> 02:38:03,510
of your requests from their citizens to be able to request that appropriately and to either prove or deny from the council side.

1785
02:38:04,630 --> 02:38:07,870
And that's all we have for that. Open to any questions.

1786
02:38:09,410 --> 02:38:11,310
Okay, thank you.

1787
02:38:11,310 --> 02:38:16,390
up out of 46 discussed component units on it and take action as deemed necessary.

1788
02:38:17,790 --> 02:38:23,950
By the way, Councilor Wilwitt, now in Christen, you went through 27 items, 15 items, and

1789
02:38:23,950 --> 02:38:25,210
27 minutes.

1790
02:38:25,470 --> 02:38:26,690
You did good.

1791
02:38:27,010 --> 02:38:27,150
Christen.

1792
02:38:27,690 --> 02:38:31,230
So at the last meeting, we discussed the component units and how they affect the audit.

1793
02:38:31,430 --> 02:38:37,450
So this is a agenda item is, give you all chance to discuss that and direct staff as needed.

1794
02:38:37,450 --> 02:38:42,510
So as I recall, we directed the city manager to get direct limbo.

1795
02:38:42,710 --> 02:38:44,010
Did we not?

1796
02:38:44,490 --> 02:38:44,630
Yes.

1797
02:38:45,610 --> 02:38:46,970
And have you done that?

1798
02:38:49,710 --> 02:38:57,650
And do we have positive movement on our authority component unit audit?

1799
02:38:57,970 --> 02:38:58,650
We do.

1800
02:38:59,390 --> 02:39:00,670
Is that all you want to say?

1801
02:39:01,790 --> 02:39:02,630
It is.

1802
02:39:04,550 --> 02:39:07,890
Then I'm looking for a motion to go to executive session.

1803
02:39:07,890 --> 02:39:08,870
Thank you, Christian.

1804
02:39:09,930 --> 02:39:10,570
May I have a motion?

1805
02:39:10,850 --> 02:39:12,070
I think I heard a second.

1806
02:39:13,950 --> 02:39:16,510
Let's, let's call the row.

1807
02:39:17,510 --> 02:39:17,930

Oh, go ahead.

1817
03:26:53,520 --> 03:26:56,320
Okay, can I get a motion to return?

1818
03:26:56,920 --> 03:27:01,740
I got a motion, second, please call the roll.

1819
03:27:02,020 --> 03:27:05,020

Yes. Hampton, we go. Yes.

03:28:49,800 --> 03:28:53,160
That conversation occurred in an executive session and we have a motion.

1840
03:28:59,260 --> 03:28:59,480
There you go.

Just one.

1866
03:31:05,700 --> 03:31:06,740
I noticed one correction.

1867
03:31:06,980 --> 03:31:08,640
You said June 15, 2025.

1868
03:31:08,860 --> 03:31:12,520
I think there should be a GSA agreement dated June 17, 2017.

1869
03:31:12,880 --> 03:31:13,420
Correction.

1870

Motion carries bringing up 48.

1881

1887
03:31:40,040 --> 03:31:41,200
No action is needed.

1888
03:31:41,200 --> 03:31:48,080
audience participation, David Tyler is the only one that we have that signed up, David.

1889
03:31:48,200 --> 03:31:49,420
You got three minutes.

1890
03:31:56,280 --> 03:31:58,340
Push that button and turn that on, would you?

1891
03:32:00,220 --> 03:32:06,420
Councilor, I'm taking care of a lot in public schools' boss fields for 24 years.

1892
03:32:07,020 --> 03:32:11,220
A 21 years is a volunteer in the last three years.

1893
03:32:11,220 --> 03:32:16,820
Jack Hanna hired me specifically for a lot of high and central ball fields.

1894
03:32:18,800 --> 03:32:26,300
I'm also on the Perks Committee, and I've made it clear last year before they started construction

1895
03:32:26,300 --> 03:32:34,700
of the water park that there would be migration of prey dogs across McMan Drive, and that

1896
03:32:34,700 --> 03:32:39,680
we needed to stay on top of it so they did not get on the ball fields.

1897
03:32:39,680 --> 03:32:48,220
What I'm here to talk about is stopping them from getting a cross-metman drive.

1898
03:32:49,040 --> 03:32:54,280
I've gone on the internet and I've researched barriers that will prevent their migration

1899
03:32:54,280 --> 03:32:55,420
across that.

1900
03:32:55,780 --> 03:33:05,560
I talk to Dan McDonald today, a wildlife biologist who confirmed that barriers work, they're

1901
03:33:05,560 --> 03:33:07,880
very effective in keeping the migration.

1902
03:33:07,880 --> 03:33:15,140
I'm not trying to contain them, I'm talking about keeping them from going across that road.

1903
03:33:16,000 --> 03:33:25,980
Right now, Central Middle School has abandoned their ballfield since July 25th because there's

1904
03:33:25,980 --> 03:33:32,900
pictures of the damage that those pictures don't include ankle breakers where they dig that deep

1905
03:33:32,900 --> 03:33:34,520
and you can't see them.

1906
03:33:34,520 --> 03:33:43,380
If what if a child gets on their brakes or ankle or they get a disease from their

1907
03:33:43,380 --> 03:33:43,920
feces.

1908
03:33:43,940 --> 03:33:50,140
One of the pictures shows the dugout and you can see the feces all around it.

1909
03:33:50,500 --> 03:33:59,200
According, it's not a biohazard, but there is a large list of diseases and illnesses that

1910
03:33:59,200 --> 03:34:00,780
these kids can contract.

1911
03:34:01,780 --> 03:34:07,520
I've notified the Parks Department, May, June, July.

1912
03:34:08,340 --> 03:34:13,720
I had my knee replaced on the 23rd of July, and that's when I found out from Jay to

1913
03:34:13,720 --> 03:34:19,820
Silva, the athletic director at Central, that they have abandoned their ballfields because

1914
03:34:19,820 --> 03:34:20,760
of the purer dogs.

1915
03:34:21,480 --> 03:34:26,380
Please, I will work with the city to come up with a barrier.

1916
03:34:26,540 --> 03:34:28,760
It only has to be three feet high.

1917
03:34:29,440 --> 03:34:35,280
The line of sight for a precond, that's important for them because they're afraid of predators.

1918
03:34:35,780 --> 03:34:40,520
You blocked that line of sight, they won't go to that area.

1919
03:34:42,360 --> 03:34:45,440
So I'm willing to work with you guys.

1920
03:34:46,460 --> 03:34:53,180
Those kids are at risk because of those precond, and I need help from the Parks Department

1921
03:34:53,180 --> 03:35:01,180
And because they, at the September 16th meeting, they said they had priorities other than

1922
03:35:01,180 --> 03:35:01,900
LPS.

1923
03:35:02,360 --> 03:35:02,960
So, thank you.

1924
03:35:03,340 --> 03:35:03,900
And if you...

1925
03:35:03,900 --> 03:35:04,800
Thank you for coming.

1926
03:35:05,240 --> 03:35:07,000
And you can get with the city manager.

1927
03:35:07,580 --> 03:35:15,020
You can get with the city manager and discuss what kind of barriers you've been you've researched.

1928
03:35:15,600 --> 03:35:15,800
Well...

1929
03:35:15,800 --> 03:35:16,580
Thank you for coming.

1930
03:35:17,800 --> 03:35:18,220
Okay.

1931
03:35:18,340 --> 03:35:20,100
I need a motion for adjournment.

1932
03:35:21,940 --> 03:35:23,540
Please call for help.

1933
03:35:25,640 --> 03:35:26,320
Yep.

1934
03:35:27,200 --> 03:35:27,240
Yep.

1935
03:35:28,220 --> 03:35:28,720
Hampton.

1936
03:35:28,760 --> 03:35:29,780
We go.

1937
03:35:30,600 --> 03:35:30,920

1938
03:35:31,700 --> 03:35:31,980

1939
03:35:32,920 --> 03:35:34,300
