[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.

[32:39] >> 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

[32:52] 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.

[36:25] again. Kendra told me Sarah already told

[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.
