[0:06] Okay, before we get started with

[0:07] tonight's meeting, uh we do have a

[0:09] recognition. [clears throat] Chief Teh,

[0:11] if you would come up here, please.

[0:15] [cough]

[0:15] [clears throat]

[0:38] For those of you who don't know, this is

[0:39] Chief Peace

[0:42] Chief is going to be leaving us here

[0:43] pretty soon. And we just want to read a

[0:45] few things and give him a couple.

[0:50] Tonight we have the honor of recognizing

[0:52] someone who has given nearly four

[0:54] decades of his life to serving the city

[0:56] of Muscoi. Chief Johnny Te began his

[0:59] career with the Skogi Police Department

[1:00] in 1987. And over the last 39 years, he

[1:03] has grown alongside this department,

[1:05] served this community through some of

[1:06] his most difficult moments and

[1:08] ultimately had the opportunity to lead

[1:10] the men and women who spent so many

[1:12] years serving the site. Early in his

[1:15] career, Chief Hei spent several years in

[1:17] the special investigations,

[1:19] working during a time when Nusco was

[1:21] facing serious challenges with drugs and

[1:22] gang activities. He later spent many

[1:24] years investigating crimes against

[1:26] children, work he described as some of

[1:28] the toughest, but also some of the most

[1:30] rewarding of his career. He went on to

[1:32] spend more than 20 years in command

[1:34] level leadership, overseeing officers

[1:36] working everything from homicide and

[1:38] narcotics to robberies and burglaries.

[1:40] Under his leadership, the Muscogi Police

[1:42] Department has continued to grow,

[1:44] evolve, and find new ways to serve our

[1:46] community. From the Chief's Fit

[1:48] Challenge to the Police Medical Unit,

[1:50] his impact can be seen in programs that

[1:52] will continue, excuse me, long after his

[1:54] time as Chief comes to an end. But I

[1:57] think the greatest measure of Chief

[1:58] Key's career is something that can't

[2:00] necessarily be listed in the regiment.

[2:02] If you've heard Johnny talk about his

[2:04] career, you know how much he loves his

[2:05] department and the people in it. He

[2:07] calls them my offices. He's quick to

[2:10] give credit to the people who helped him

[2:11] along the way. His family, the teachers

[2:14] and coaches who believed in him, the men

[2:16] and women he has worked alongside, and

[2:17] most importantly to him, his faith. 39

[2:21] years is a long time to fall somewhere

[2:22] home. And I know stepping away from the

[2:25] department that has been such a large

[2:26] part large part of his life is

[2:28] bittersweet.

[2:29] But fortunately for us, Chief isn't

[2:31] going too far. Earlier this month, Chief

[2:33] was confirmed by the United States

[2:35] Senate to serve as United States

[2:36] Marshall for the Eastern District of

[2:38] Oklahoma. And his next chapter will keep

[2:41] him right here in MSO. As chief put

[2:43] himself, it's been quite a path from B

[2:46] from a by police officer to a Muscoi

[2:48] police officer to Mscoi's chief of

[2:50] police and now United States Marshall

[2:57] Chief. We could not be more prouder to

[2:59] see where the this path has taken you

[3:01] and we especially and we're especially

[3:02] glad it's taken you not too far from

[3:04] home. On behalf of the city council, our

[3:06] employees and the citizens of Muscogee,

[3:08] thank you for the 39 years you've given

[3:10] to this city. Thank you for your

[3:12] leadership, your dedication to the men

[3:14] and women of the Muscoi Police

[3:15] Department and the impact that you have

[3:17] made on the community you've served for

[3:18] so long. Tonight, we have the privilege

[3:20] of recognizing that service in a very

[3:22] special way. First Chieft is my it is my

[3:25] honor to present you with your years of

[3:27] service award recognizing 30 39 years of

[3:30] dedicated service to the city of SC.

[3:49] And Chief, we have one more thing for

[3:51] you, Chief Tehe. After 39 years, there's

[3:53] no question that you've left your mark

[3:55] on the Scotia. Your leadership, your

[3:57] dedication to your officers, and your

[3:59] commitment to this community have made

[4:00] an impact that will continue long after

[4:02] your time as chief. So, on behalf of the

[4:04] city, the city council, our employees,

[4:06] and most importantly, the citizens of

[4:08] Muscogee, thank you for everything

[4:10] you've given this community. We're proud

[4:12] of you. We are grateful for you. And no

[4:14] matter where your path leads from here,

[4:16] Muscoi will always be proud to call you

[4:18] one of our own. See, Johnny Te is my

[4:20] honor to present you with KC.

[4:43] has to come down for a picture. Yes,

[4:45] ma'am.

[4:53] » Good job.

[5:10] Once you put all of them up

[5:12] at the courthouse, you were testifying.

[5:17] » That's interesting.

[5:24] » All right, let's get a little bit

[5:25] closer.

[5:31] You want me? [clears throat]

[5:42] » Thank you.

[6:08] I like that the other day

[6:12] [clears throat]

[6:13] or something like surger.

[6:19] [clears throat]

[6:22] » Okay. Welcome to tonight's Muscogi

[6:23] Municipal Authority meeting. We will

[6:26] start off with the invocation led by

[6:28] Deputy Mayor Derek Ree.

[6:30] >> Shall we pray? Dear Lord, once again, we

[6:33] just come giving you all the glory and

[6:35] praise for just blessing us with the

[6:37] gift of another day. Ask that you would

[6:39] look upon your city leaders on tonight.

[6:41] We have decisions to make and we want

[6:43] you to come with us, in us, and through

[6:46] us. And let everything that we do be

[6:48] pleasing in your sight. These are many

[6:49] of the blessings we ask in Jesus name.

[14:37] Columbus including the accessory

[14:39] structure is dilapidated and has become

[14:41] detrimental to the health, safety or

[14:43] welfare of the general public as to

[14:45] constitute a public nuisance and creates

[14:48] a fire hazard which is dangerous to

[14:49] other property and that the building is

[14:51] abandoned and that the property should

[14:53] be demolished or take other necessary

[14:55] action. We will now open the public

[14:57] hearing. Miss Winkle.

[14:58] >> Thank you. Um, an appeal from the owner

[15:00] was received on this property on July

[15:03] the 6th regarding the demolition of this

[15:05] property, including the accessory

[15:06] structure. The uniform building code of

[15:08] appeals board hearing was held on May

[15:10] the 27th. ECAB did find that the

[15:13] building, including the accessory

[15:14] building, was dilapidated, constituting

[15:16] a public nuisance, was a fire hazard,

[15:18] was abandoned, and should be demolished.

[15:21] This motion was unanimously carried by

[15:23] that board. There are no permits to date

[15:25] in the system for any kind of remodel or

[15:28] any kind of um uh renovations for the

[15:31] property. Um this property in addition

[15:33] to that has had numerous uh code

[15:35] violations dating from 2006 to present

[15:38] which have included uh highways and

[15:40] grass, trash and debris, unsafe

[15:42] structures, uh DPP, and the dilapidated

[15:45] structure itself. Um these are the

[15:47] current pictures that were taken when we

[15:48] posted originally posted the property in

[15:50] February. um you can see uh the state

[15:54] that the property is in and then we also

[15:56] went back out on um August the 12th to

[15:59] take the current state of the property

[16:01] pictures and that is what you are seeing

[16:02] in these. Staff does recommend that you

[16:05] uphold the findings of the uniform

[16:06] building code of appeals board and I can

[16:08] answer any questions that you might

[16:09] have.

[16:11] >> We do have one citizen signed up to

[16:13] speak on this matter. Mr. Lee Norfleet,

[16:16] would you please come up sir, state your

[16:18] name and you will have five minutes.

[16:30] on the record for the property.

[16:33] Um,

[16:36] I uh

[16:38] I I've read the the the uh

[16:40] [clears throat] the letters you sent me

[16:42] and and the claims that you made and I'm

[16:43] sure that according to what you have in

[16:45] mind as far as your your um

[16:49] your

[16:50] ordinances and things like that. Maybe

[16:52] that's that language is proper, but it

[16:54] does not

[16:56] necessarily

[16:58] reflect a reality about the situation in

[17:01] terms of uh it's not abandoned taxes

[17:04] paid. There's utilities on in the uh in

[17:07] the structure. I have a use for it. I

[17:09] own it. It's not abandoned.

[17:12] As far as a public nuisance, it's not

[17:15] public property. anyone there that comes

[17:17] there it's not an inviteee

[17:20] uh would not have any standing. So as a

[17:23] result what it how it pertains to the

[17:26] public may be one thing or another

[17:28] [clears throat] but is a nuisance or a

[17:29] danger or a hazard.

[17:31] All the time that we've been discussing

[17:32] it it has not created any problem for

[17:34] anyone that I know of.

[17:37] uh so I I intended to model the

[17:41] structure but stop and uh

[17:44] and and or beyond a point where that can

[17:46] be done and it's also represents to me

[17:49] an asset. Um

[17:53] I'm considering um asking a grand jury

[17:57] to look into the relationship I have

[17:59] with the city of Muscogi. Uh I in my

[18:02] lifetime I've had three pro well

[18:04] including this property here.

[18:06] was there doing something and came back

[18:08] a little bit later and somebody set my

[18:10] grass on fire. Um that could have

[18:12] resulted in the property being lost, but

[18:14] uh it didn't. Uh but I've had three

[18:16] other properties arsoned in the city of

[18:19] Scot which of none of the investigations

[18:23] completed uh resulted in anyone being

[18:27] charged.

[18:29] My latest arson

[18:32] uh involved a building uh well actually

[18:34] the latest arson was the yard before

[18:37] that was a building that uh uh you

[18:39] recently tore down

[18:42] and um there is surveillance footage

[18:45] from three other vantage points that

[18:48] identified the person who was probably a

[18:50] contractor and a paid arsonist.

[18:52] uh no investigation was made that

[18:54] involved sending that film or the

[18:58] whatever you want to call it uh to

[19:00] anyone with facial recognition software

[19:02] and in my contacting the OSBI and the

[19:05] FBI and also uh the Secret Service.

[19:09] One of the things that uh they mentioned

[19:12] was an officer from the city of Muscogi

[19:14] would have to send that. I couldn't

[19:16] personally do that. I I guess I could go

[19:19] get a thumbnail drive, copy of the

[19:21] computer footage and take it to a

[19:24] private uh company and ask them to look

[19:27] in at Walmart. I have friends that work

[19:28] for Walmart and at Walmart could

[19:30] possibly help me with that. That person

[19:32] is identified by Walmart. No

[19:34] investigation's been done. Um again,

[19:37] I'll get a permit. I I I told you with

[19:40] my other property that you recently tore

[19:42] down which had been arson and the

[19:45] portion building which was flammable.

[19:47] The road structure was not the first

[19:50] thing you tore down. You tore down a

[19:52] concrete structure with steel bar joist

[19:54] roof which could have been repaired

[19:55] which probably represent about4 million

[19:57] dollars worth of building if I had to

[19:58] build it again today. And I came before

[20:00] somebody here and told them that if I

[20:02] had six months to do the do so I would

[20:05] complete the de demolition clean up of

[20:07] the property and had in that period of

[20:08] time I'd have a business open on that.

[20:10] What I have now is a lot which you have

[20:13] also left or their contractor left piles

[20:16] of dirt which I can't mow over which I

[20:19] have no idea what you brought that there

[20:21] for plan to do with it. And uh I would

[20:24] prefer that you

[20:27] um I'll in a period of the next 3 to

[20:30] four months probably can matter of days

[20:33] I can shore that thing up to where it's

[20:35] not even though it's got some broken

[20:37] windows. It's actually uh not there's

[20:40] not really a good entry point. It's it's

[20:42] not creating a problem for everybody and

[20:43] I didn't want you to tear my building

[20:44] down. That's the basic problem that I

[20:46] have. So, what I'm asking you not to do

[20:48] and I'll approach getting a building

[20:51] permit and do something about it in a

[20:53] short period of time.

[20:56] That's all I have to say about it. Thank

[20:58] you, sir.

[21:04] Any discussion?

[21:09] We will now close the public hearing

[21:12] and I will entertain a motion

[21:16] for

[21:16] >> approval.

[21:16] >> I have a specific uh uh motion that was

[21:21] given to me for um this if we want to go

[21:26] with the proposal uh was recommended

[21:28] from the city. I'll move that the

[21:32] Muscogi City Council adopts the

[21:34] following findings of fact following the

[21:37] public hearing held regarding the

[21:38] property located at 1516 Columbus. The

[21:41] property look one the property located

[21:43] 1516 Columbus is dilapidated and has

[21:45] become detrimental to the health, safety

[21:47] and welfare of the general public and

[21:48] the community such that it constraints

[21:51] constitates a public nuisance. Two, the

[21:53] property creates a fire hazard which is

[21:55] dangerous to other properties. Three,

[21:57] the property would be benefited by the

[21:59] removal of such conditions. I further

[22:01] move that the council order the property

[22:03] owner to tear down and remove the

[22:05] dilapidated building or structure,

[22:07] including accessory buildings, and to

[22:09] commence such work within 30 business

[22:11] days of the order, and to complete such

[22:13] work within 60 business days of the

[22:15] order, and to direct the city to cause

[22:17] the dilapidated building or structure to

[22:19] be torn down and removed if the property

[22:21] owner does not complete the work within

[22:22] the time ordered. That is my motion.

[22:27] >> Second.

[22:29] >> Have a motion or a second. Any further

[22:30] discussion?

[22:33] >> Roll call, please.

[22:34] >> Deep Brooks,

[22:35] >> yes.

[22:37] >> Jeremy Scheler,

[22:38] >> yes.

[22:38] >> Mike Broly,

[22:39] >> yes.

[22:40] >> Tom Martanddale,

[22:41] >> yes.

[22:41] >> Melody Cranford,

[22:42] >> yes.

[22:43] >> Shirley Hilton Flannry,

[22:44] >> yes.

[22:45] >> Tracy H?

[22:46] >> Yes.

[22:47] >> Deputy Mayor Derek Reed?

[22:48] >> Yes.

[22:49] >> Mayor Brian Low?

[22:50] >> Yes. Motion passes. Item 15, please.

[22:53] Consider approval of an addendum to the

[22:55] managed services agreement with PC

[22:57] landing zone for unlimited tier 1 and

[23:00] tier 2 support in the amount of $20,000

[23:03] per month or take other necessary

[23:04] action.

[23:05] >> Mr. Francis,

[23:07] >> thank you, sir. Um, [clears throat]

[23:10] on this item, I I'd like to give a

[23:12] little bit more background uh than the I

[23:15] did the last time I presented. There

[23:16] might have been some confusion to this.

[23:18] So, um, upon the retirement of Chris

[23:22] Cummings, um, as IT director, um, I made

[23:25] the decision to enter this professional

[23:27] service agreement with PC Landing Zone

[23:30] to provide, um, it's called tier three

[23:33] IT support. Uh, it's essentially um, act

[23:36] as the um, perform the duties of the

[23:38] city's IT director. Um, at the time, I

[23:41] believe this was the most efficient,

[23:43] effective way to provide the service uh,

[23:45] with the city. um provide a high level

[23:48] technical expertise and the IT

[23:50] leadership that our team needed at the

[23:52] time. Um because it is a professional

[23:55] service agreement uh for a specialized

[23:58] technical service, it was not required

[24:00] to go through the traditional bidding

[24:01] process. So I think uh there may have

[24:04] been some confusion in regards to that.

[24:07] Additionally, the agreement was within

[24:09] my uh spending authority as city manager

[24:12] and therefore didn't need to come to

[24:14] city council. Um my my decision was

[24:17] based on PC landing zones

[24:20] qualifications, technical expertise and

[24:22] knowledge of our IT environment and the

[24:25] ability to to meet um the city's needs.

[24:29] Since that time, since that agreement

[24:31] was entered into, we've then had two

[24:34] other employees who have resigned um

[24:38] creating an immediate need for

[24:40] additional tier one and tier 2 IT

[24:43] support, which is uh lower level IT

[24:46] support. Um, so again, I made the

[24:50] decision to make an addendum to that

[24:53] original um that's um professional

[24:57] service agreement to um and that's what

[25:00] we are that I'm requesting approval of

[25:02] tonight in the amount of $20,000 a month

[25:05] for those two positions. Um again, it

[25:09] was it was an immediate need. We did

[25:11] explore some other alternatives um as

[25:13] far as temp um trying to acquire

[25:16] temporary help through some of our temp

[25:19] services that we uh use frequently. Um

[25:22] but that was going to require more time

[25:26] to to find those replacements and and

[25:29] staff up um to meet our IT needs. So I

[25:32] made the decision to enter the

[25:34] agreement. I I am bringing it to the

[25:37] council um because the totality of the

[25:40] agreement brings it above my $50,000

[25:44] uh signing um authority and uh I just

[25:48] wanted to be upfront with the council

[25:50] and transparent about about what we're

[25:52] doing. Now, I can tell you that since

[25:55] this time, we have made an offer or in

[25:57] the process of making an offer uh to

[26:00] fill one of the positions and interviews

[26:03] are taking place for the uh the lower

[26:06] tier one position. So, this is a very

[26:10] temporary addendum. Um I I look to I

[26:14] look to have both of those positions

[26:17] filled and um the new on the new

[26:22] employees onboarded and ready to go in a very short fashion. So um I am uh

[26:28] am requesting that uh you approve the

[26:30] agreement

[26:33] [clears throat]

[26:34] >> per month, right?

[26:36] >> Pardon me. Yes, ma'am.

[26:37] >> This is per month. So maybe a couple

[26:40] like a month or so. I would I would

[26:42] think just

[26:44] >> two months at the most. Yes.

[26:48] >> Looking to uh

[26:52] >> hire a IT director on down the road.

[26:55] >> Yes. Yes. This is this has always been

[26:58] the plan has always been for this to be

[27:00] temporary.

[27:01] um wanted to uh use um PC landing zone

[27:08] to help us um work through some issues

[27:12] with the IT department um to make it uh

[27:17] um to to prepare it so that the next

[27:20] director can be successful.

[27:23] um uh wanted to address some specific

[27:26] issues that they have um the experience

[27:30] and expertise to deal with specifically

[27:32] and again that's going to um strengthen

[27:35] the department and and set it up so that

[27:38] the next person can be successful.

[27:41] >> Good deal.

[27:42] >> So if if you hire someone so those

[27:44] positions and this this can

[27:47] >> Yes. Yes. those both agreements go away

[27:50] and uh um the agreement is still

[27:53] underneath significantly underneath an

[27:57] annual salary that we were paying for

[27:58] the IT director by themselves.

[28:01] >> Um and so uh as far as as far as how

[28:05] we're funding this, this is through uh

[28:07] the salaries that were set aside for the

[28:09] IT director.

[28:11] >> Mr. Francis was to be clear on it. So is

[28:14] it 20,000 for tier one, 20,000 for tier

[28:17] two

[28:18] >> for for that is

[28:20] >> total

[28:20] >> that is total

[28:21] >> three tiers.

[28:23] >> That's that's tier one and tier two.

[28:25] >> Okay.

[28:25] >> The tier three is a separate agreement.

[28:27] I don't have that dollar figure in front

[28:30] of me but

[28:31] >> okay

[28:31] >> together they exceed 50,000 which is my

[28:34] signature limit. Um but this is 247

[28:38] [clears throat] tier one and tier 2

[28:39] support. We physically have two people

[28:43] in the building um handling handling

[28:46] this um these issues. These and and it

[28:50] is u tier one's entry level. Tier 2 is a

[28:54] little bit higher um technical

[28:56] expertise.

[29:00] » Were any other companies reached out to

[29:03] locally or just

[29:05] >> No. Um again it uh uh because of because

[29:10] of the nature of it, it doesn't

[29:11] necessarily go through the the

[29:13] traditional bidding process. Um but they

[29:16] were qualified based on our past history

[29:18] with them. Um and their knowledge of our

[29:22] system already gave them a significant

[29:24] leg up. We we do quite a bit of work had

[29:28] previously done quite a bit of work with

[29:30] PC landing zone as a consultant.

[29:33] Yes. Okay. Any

[29:37] further discussion?

[29:39] >> Move for approval. I'll

[29:41] >> second it.

[29:41] >> Have a motion in a second. Roll call,

[29:43] please.

[29:44] >> D Boots,

[29:46] >> yes.

[29:46] >> Jeremy Scheler,

[29:47] >> yes.

[29:48] >> Mike Broly,

[29:48] >> yes.

[29:49] >> Tom Martell,

[29:49] >> yes.

[29:50] >> Melody Cranford,

[29:51] >> yes.

[29:51] >> Charlie Flannry,

[29:52] >> yes.

[29:52] >> Tracy H.

[29:53] >> Yes.

[29:53] >> Deputy Mayor Derek Reed.

[29:55] >> Yes.

[29:55] >> Mayor Ryan Lowe,

[29:56] >> yes. Motion passes item 16, please.

[29:58] Consider approval to authorize the city

[30:00] manager or his designate to negotiate

[30:02] and execute an agreement between the

[30:04] city of Muscogee and Cowan Group

[30:06] Engineering for design of waterline

[30:08] replacement packages E FG and H

[30:11] identified in the capital improvement

[30:13] plan or take other necessary action.

[30:15] >> Mr. Reagan.

[30:16] >> Yes. Thank you mayor and councel. So uh

[30:19] for item 16 and item 17 they are kind of

[30:23] related to each other. So I have to give

[30:25] a little bit of background on both to uh

[30:27] fully portray what we are uh going for

[30:30] here. So um if you've been watching the

[30:33] news, Google has committed a sizable

[30:35] amount of funding to Oklahoma

[30:36] infrastructure. We have been in

[30:38] communication with them to get in on

[30:41] some of that funding. Um how this

[30:43] pertains to Cowan is Cowan has been with

[30:46] us since 2017 working as our uh engineer

[30:50] on the water side. They've assisted us

[30:51] with uh package A, B, C, and currently

[30:54] uh package D. These have been very

[30:56] successful. Uh we've saved about 2

[30:59] million gallons a day in water loss and

[31:02] also uh greatly reduced our THM and HAS.

[31:05] Uh so much so that ODQ came down, had

[31:08] other counties meet with us to see what

[31:10] we had done to make those improvements.

[31:13] um and they are helping us with our

[31:15] overall comprehensive plan and they've

[31:17] helped us put together packages EF and G

[31:19] as part of their overall cap as part of

[31:21] our overall capital improvement plan

[31:24] which is what we intend to seek funding

[31:26] from Google for. Um, with that being

[31:29] said, the uh project cost has not been

[31:32] identified because we don't have a solid

[31:34] number of what the grant is going to be,

[31:37] but we uh are obviously going to seek as

[31:39] much as we possibly can and put that uh

[31:42] funding back into our community. Um but

[31:46] the total uh contract cost for Cowan

[31:50] will be 8% of the total project cost

[31:54] once we receive that grant which is

[31:56] below the standard 10% design and

[31:58] engineering fee. So, with that being

[32:01] said, I'd be happy to answer any

[32:03] questions, but we do recommend the uh

[32:06] city manager gets the approval to

[32:07] negotiate and execute that contract

[32:10] simply for the fact that we uh want to

[32:12] be able to jump on this opportunity as

[32:14] soon as it's finalized and presented to

[32:16] us.

[32:20] » Any discussion?

[32:21] >> I move for approval.

[32:23] >> Second.

[32:23] >> I have a motion and a second. Roll call,

[32:25] please.

[32:27] >> D Boots.

[32:36] >> Deputy Mayor Derek Reed,

[32:38] >> Mayor Ryan Lowe,

[32:39] >> yes. Motion passes. Item 17, please.

[32:42] >> Consider approval to authorize the city

[32:43] manager or his designate to negotiate

[32:45] and execute an amendment to an agreement

[32:47] between the city of Muscogee and

[32:49] Ferdinand Technologies LLC, a Texas

[32:52] limited liability company to allow for

[32:54] the city to accept funding for waterline

[32:57] replacement projects as identified in

[32:59] the capital improvement plan or take

[33:01] other necessary action.

[33:02] >> Mr. Reed.

[33:03] >> Yes, thank you. So this is the uh the

[33:05] second part to that which is amending an

[33:07] existing contract that we have with

[33:09] Ferdinand Technologies which is a a

[33:11] partner company of Google um to allow

[33:15] for uh us to receive any funds that are

[33:18] granted. It just makes sure that legally

[33:20] everything is covered our bases and

[33:22] theirs by amending this agreement to

[33:24] allow for receiving of funds.

[36:40] Jennings both told me they were not

[36:42] allowed to talk about the data centers.

[36:44] I was treated rudely by Kendra and given

[36:47] the runaround by city staff. you have

[36:50] violated my rights to receive this

[36:53] information. With the attitude of the

[36:55] staff, non-disclosure agreements are

[36:58] obviously in place and there are rumors

[37:01] in the community that city staff and

[37:04] government have signed non-disclosure

[37:07] acts. If they are so safe and

[37:11] economical, talking about data centers,

[37:13] then why hide behind the NDAs? citizens

[37:17] feel alienated and betrayed by this

[37:19] council and staff. There's no

[37:22] transparency and there's no trust. I am

[37:24] requesting this information that I

[37:27] requested on July the 21st and July the

[37:30] 31st of this year with correct and

[37:33] accurate information. If I don't receive

[37:36] them, there is no accountability among

[37:38] you. Citizens are at are not at the top

[37:42] of the city organizational chart. Saying

[37:45] that we are doesn't make it true.

[37:48] >> Thank you, ma'am.

[37:52] » Item 20, please.
