00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,479
» Director Rosado

190
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,199
or is Washington? Are you answering, Mr.

191
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:12,400
Washington?

192
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,680
» Yes, I'm here.

193
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,360
» Mr. Washington.

194
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,360
» Okay. Uh, Councilman, thank you for your

195
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,879
question. Yes, we do. And the way this

196
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,560
is going to be executed, it's going to

197
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:23,280
be done in phases. We're gonna start off

198
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:27,759
with the downtown area as that's where

199
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:29,520
uh DPW DPW and PACG has highlighted that

200
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:31,759
that's where the most efficient lamps

201
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,719
are. So the initial stage will be

202
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:39,360
conducted downtown and it will be guided

203
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:42,080
through DPW uh Mr. Estatudo and the uh

204
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,360
NPACG executives. In other words, their

205
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,920
technical team will tell us exactly

206
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,959
which lamps will go first and from there

207
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,440
we'll spread out to the different

208
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:52,880
corridors. So, so in other words, can

209
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,399
you tell me if that old green light

210
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,760
poles are going to disappear from the

211
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,040
city?

212
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,760
» It's going to be the really tall ones,

213
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,959
those 24-footer. Those specifically the

214
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,279
ones that are right now have become at

215
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:07,279
this point broken off or damaged or are

216
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:08,880
in any danger of breaking off. Those are

217
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:10,080
the most immediate ones that are that

218
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,680
we're going to address.

219
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,080
» Correct. because I had a constituent

220
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,320
that lived in the fifth ward that uh

221
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:21,040
live around the uh mark main street and

222
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,360
and Grant that one of those life fisher

223
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,640
fell right in front of her and she was

224
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,240
lucky enough to to not get hit with it.

225
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,480
And those are the reasons why we're

226
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,120
working closely with PS&G is to address

227
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,440
those specific fixtures right away

228
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,000
because they're they're dangerous and we

229
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,680
decided through UE being that the

230
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,760
resources were there to utilize those

231
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:44,959
funds in a way that that it creates

232
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,880
safety safety for both the consumer as

233
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:50,080
well as the people who live in the city.

234
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:55,440
» So they the um the do you consider that

235
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:57,279
downtown is up to um Mil Street? Uh,

236
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,040
Director Rosado, I know you work closely

237
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:02,399
on what the definition of the downtown

238
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,680
areas are. Could you

239
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:06,399
» Director Rosado?

240
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:09,600
» It's going to be a total of 310 total

241
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:11,920
poles. Okay. Um,

242
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,399
the corridors are from Main Street,

243
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,040
which is Krooks Avenue to Lower Maine.

244
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:18,720
Market Street, which is Mill to Summer,

245
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,519
Broadway, which is Main Street to

246
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:24,480
Memorial Drive, Ellison from Main Street

247
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:26,880
to Memorial Drive, and then Ward Street

248
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,120
from Maine to Clark, and then Memorial

249
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,959
Drive from Market Street to Broadway.

250
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,839
So, okay. So, let's keep the record

251
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:35,680
clear when we say downtown. And I

252
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:40,480
nothing against with the Krooks Avenue

253
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:43,839
up to u of downtown but um the reason

254
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:48,240
I'm asking is because I believe Mil

255
00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:51,200
Street Peruvian Square Van Halton uh

256
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:54,079
back portion of it uh the um before

257
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,600
going to Gray Falls all that section is

258
00:10:54,079 --> 00:11:00,720
downtown we have the old uh antique uh

259
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:03,360
poles there and u we be requested with

260
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,200
Satuda way back that we upgrade ated

261
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,880
those pole especially when they in the

262
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,279
historic district area but it's

263
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,279
including downtown. Now you mentioned

264
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:13,920
Cruz Avenue that's not downtown that's

265
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:16,959
in South P. So we have to make clear to

266
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:20,399
the record that is covering also that

267
00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:21,600
section. So um uh when you say downtown

268
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:23,120
only everybody could think it's

269
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,839
downtown. Now you stated it's coming

270
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,760
from Kru all the way down to downtown.

271
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:30,160
Well, the phase the phase is starting in

272
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,160
downtown phase one.

273
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,480
» Director, if you can just send out the

274
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,560
information on the four phases of this

275
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,079
project. I know we're just starting, but

276
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,880
just send an overview of the phase out

277
00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:42,800
to all the council members for review uh

278
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,120
for committee and then so the council

279
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,399
can

280
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,000
» Council president,

281
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:48,880
» I haven't finished. I haven't finished.

282
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,480
Uh director um and and you're gonna and

283
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,959
you're going to hear this from me a lot

284
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,320
when it comes up to uee.

285
00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:59,519
Fifth Ward also has UEZ zone. Fifth Four

286
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,880
has area that needs that kind of uh

287
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:06,880
upgrade. So, um nothing against anybody

288
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:09,440
else ward, but I have a a majority

289
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,240
section of downtown that is u needed

290
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:15,040
that that that type of quality of lights

291
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,440
and and cameras and I and I want to see

292
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,880
it there too, especially this coming up

293
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:23,440
two years. And I gonna be and I gonna be

294
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,600
I got to be more enaminous on that, you

295
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,600
know. Um I have supported as a

296
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,720
councilman for 10 years here any other

297
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,800
project in any other ward. So uh I don't

298
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,040
want to feel like I'm being left behind

299
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,760
in any project that we have money to

300
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,720
invest.

301
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,519
» Council President,

302
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,639
» Council vice president. So I I want us

303
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:47,120
just to, you know, be clear um that the

304
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:49,600
items are specific to UEZ zones and uh

305
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,200
Director Rosado, please correct me if

306
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,839
I'm wrong. If the portion that we're

307
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,639
discussing on Crooks is UE,

308
00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:56,959
» Yes.

309
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:58,800
» So it started Yes. It's only on

310
00:12:56,959 --> 00:13:01,600
» The answer is yes. The answer is yes.

311
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,920
The reason I'm saying that is is because

312
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,200
we tend to,

313
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,519
you know, when it comes to South

314
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,040
Patterson or the six ward and and things

315
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:10,320
are getting done, it almost like there's

316
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,519
some type of and I'm going to put it out

317
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:17,360
there, some type of favoritism. No, that

318
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:19,360
portion of Krooks app is UE. And so you

319
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,440
you were specific to say and you sent it

320
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,680
in the email as well that went out

321
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,519
yesterday and this morning as well, uh,

322
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:27,839
indicating all of those streets. I don't

323
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:29,519
want anyone to think that this these

324
00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:32,079
monies or these lights these fixtures

325
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:34,240
that are being fixed are only you know

326
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:37,360
and specific to the six war that that's

327
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:40,160
not a UVZ zone. Uh to Councilman Velis's

328
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:44,720
um point um it is true he has a lot of

329
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:48,240
of of uh the downtown area um who part

330
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:51,600
of it is UZ and so Councilman if you see

331
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:53,040
you know part of it is within the area

332
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,480
that you're discussing but I know that

333
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,120
you're going to want more. I just wanted

334
00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:00,000
to clarify and make sure that we're not

335
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,399
sending a message that we're doing uez

336
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,519
and crooks have because the portion of

337
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:08,880
it is also part of uez and I understand

338
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:13,199
also that you are working closely with

339
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:16,000
um statudo uh with DPW and with PSNG as

340
00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:20,160
well. Um the only thing that I heard you

341
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,440
know uh um uh director uh Washington say

342
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:26,720
is they'll tell us I think that within

343
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:29,279
that we the council can also let them

344
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,800
know our interest cuz we understand that

345
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:32,240
they'll give us the overview of

346
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,720
everything that needs to be done and

347
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,199
then we can say well we'd like certain

348
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,440
priorities you know based on requests

349
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:41,360
you know either from businesses or for

350
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,760
from constituents who have discussed

351
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,399
that you know the lighting needs to be

352
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,320
All right, council president. Thank you

353
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:50,079
very much. I just wanted to clarify.

354
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,519
» Thank you. Roll call. M clerk.

355
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:52,959
» I said I had my hands.

356
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:53,600
» I'm sorry. I didn't see it. Council

357
00:14:52,959 --> 00:14:56,800
cotton.

358
00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:00,800
» I just wanted to find out again from um

359
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:03,839
I know director Rosado. Um you said

360
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Broadway. What part of Broadway?

361
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:11,040
» Rosado. Um Memorial from Market Street

362
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,920
to Broadway.

363
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,160
And then we also

364
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,240
» No, no, no. You said Broadway

365
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,720
» Memorial Memorial Drive from Market

366
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:22,079
Street to Broadway.

367
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,920
So this list is based on Statudo uh

368
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:24,480

Broadway. I didn't say nothing about

00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,199
certain poles?

397
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,120
» Is that what you're saying?

398
00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:25,279

00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,839
» Ryan, could you check into that, please?

405
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:41,600
» We have a delay from what I understand.

406
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:43,199
Correct.

407
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,600
» All right. I'm sorry that council

409
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,560
two messages right now saying the

410
00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:48,959
meeting is not on YouTube.

411
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,000
» Okay.

412
00:16:48,959 --> 00:16:52,480
» Go check.

413
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,600
» So my So my question is to director

414
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:58,800
Rosado. You you said Memorial Drive to

415
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,639
Main Street which is two blocks like is

416
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,120
that because they got certain polls? Is

417
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:07,360
that why?

418
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:09,760
» Cuz director Rosado I thought okay I

419
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:11,760
» No, I'm still not finished.

420
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,600
So, director, I'm saying to you there's

421
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,760
only two block and I asked you the

422
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,520
question. Is it because it's a special

423
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,640
pole that that's why they can use these

424
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,400
lights?

425
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,959
» It's because they're only focusing on

426
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,400
the green architectural lights. Those

427
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:26,720
are the ones where the fixtures are

428
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,760
being uh replaced.

429
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,600
» Okay.

430
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,160
» Those lights are there already.

431
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,520
» Yes.

432
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,960
» So, say what now?

433
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,160
» These are the green poles. They're

434
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,880
they're in the

435
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,360
» Green on the green architectural design.

436
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,039
First,

437
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:40,799
» My next question, and you know, we're

438
00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:43,360
going to I'm going to do it like

439
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:46,080
director Rodriguez, I don't I asked you

440
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:48,960
many times about the trees that needs to

441
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:51,280
be trimmed. Trees are kissing each other

442
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,720
and which are now really blocking the

443
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,760
lights. They're kissing like they're

444
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:58,400
coming across the street and kissing. Uh

445
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,120
we have a lot of blocks like that. And

446
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:04,000
one of main one of the main blocks

447
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:06,880
director is Montgomery Street that

448
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,240
they're kissing. You can't. So, even if

449
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,240
you have the lights up there, you still

450
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,320
you can't you still can't It's still

451
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,840
dark because the trees uh has to be

452
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,559
trimmed. So, I got to get some of those

453
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,720
trees trimmed, especially around the

454
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:21,280
lights and especially around the stop

455
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,679
signs. You got to get some of those stop

456
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,840
signs clear. You don't see stop signs

457
00:18:23,679 --> 00:18:27,600
until you right on top of it. And so, I

458
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,400
just put I need to put that request in.

459
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Director,

460
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,919
» Council President, Council President, if

00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:37,039
what's going on with uh YouTube. It's my

463
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:40,720

00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,720
channel there is an issue with the

00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,400

00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,200

that.

476
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:11,520
» And from what I understand, it's not an

477
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,520
issue on our IT side. It is an upgrade

478
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,120
or an update to the link from the

479
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,480
YouTube side.

480
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,960
» Thank you, madam clerk. Roll call,

481
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,440
ma'am.

482
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,880
» Um, council,

483
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,039
» Council my colleague.

484
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:29,039
» Thank you. I just want to clarify one

485
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:32,400
thing. Um these replacement are for only

486
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:35,520
those green PS that we have which are

487
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:39,039
not installed in every location of the

488
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,760
UE zone. I don't have any in the second

489
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:44,240
world for example union app to app there

490
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:48,480
is none. So there is nothing being done

491
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:50,640
on union app with this project or or to

492
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,679
app with this project. So we need to

493
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:58,000
understand we might have a new easy zone

494
00:19:53,679 --> 00:20:00,559
in in our world does not mean that if

495
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,480
they want to even replace these light

496
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:04,640
bulbs and stuff with this project they

497
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,559
cannot do it but it has not been

498
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:11,039
installed in this section yet. I hope in

499
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:13,600
future with future project we should be

500
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:16,480
able to put new lamps on the the section

501
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,520
they are not covered with these uh green

502
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,960
uh light poles. That's that's all I'm

503
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,360
requesting to our EUZ um director. Thank

00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,120

where's the uh the parking location?

573
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,000
» Councilman, where's 742 River Street at?

574
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,120
What street?

575
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,919
» That's on between third and four Avenue

576
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:31,760
before the field. You where the where

577
00:23:29,919 --> 00:23:33,200
the mattress company ceiling is at on

578
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,720
front of there where you see a lot of

579
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:40,480
cat park overnight on the streets.

580
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:42,720
» Um Councilman, the owner is not on uh

581
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,640
the these businesses are not operating.

582
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,720
So, it is up to you if you desire to

583
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,400
pull them until he comes in. They'll be

584
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,960
out of business for a couple weeks, but

585
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,799
it's up to you.

586
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,600
» No, no, no, no, no. I I just want to

587
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:55,600
make clear that, you know, it's a

588
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,280
» There's no one on the No one on none of

589
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,600
us can answer where they're parking.

590
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,600
That would

591
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,200
» No, no. But I know it's transfer. They

592
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,039
just transferring registration. I

593
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,039
understand that. It's a paperwork. They

594
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,600
transfer paper,

595
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:10,240
» Right? But when when they come into a

596
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,000
conclusion to use those paper that we

597
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,760
transferring

598
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,919
uh where they going to park the car and

599
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,520
that's one thing that have to be clear

600
00:24:15,919 --> 00:24:22,080
in the resolution because every time

601
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:24,320
that we uh pl you know put cars out

602
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,240
there they always stay in the resolution

603
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,400
where they're going to be parking. Well,

604
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:31,120
I understand the process. We are

605
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,159
transferring paper here. Transfer this

606
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:36,080
paper to that company. But when those 28

607
00:24:34,159 --> 00:24:38,559
papers, they could have used it where

608
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,919
they could park those cars. And I I know

609
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:42,400
we have received I don't know if

610
00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:46,640
councilwoman Cotton had received uh

611
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:48,400
complaints about uh those uh cab

612
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:52,640
being parked on on River Street

613
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:55,600
alongside the uh alongside the um the

614
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,120
ceiling mattress company. So um

615
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,919
» Actually actually councilman that's the

616
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,240
third one.

617
00:24:57,919 --> 00:25:01,840
» Yeah, I know. I'm just saying you said

618
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,240
cotton. So actually that's the third

619
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,240
ward.

620
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,039
» Oh because you asked because between the

621
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,760
third fourth

622
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:10,320
» Did I what did I ask? I didn't ask

623
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,880
» Council members that come like what did

624
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,520
I ask?

625
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,480
» I understand the concern they can send

626
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,000
that request to like

627
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,200
» The request should be and from here on

628
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,919
out council president

629
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,840
» That we have

630
00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:21,279
» That they should also list where they

631
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,200
going to park their vehicles. That's all

632
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:24,080
they got to do. Correct. That's all they

633
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,400
got to do.

634
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,200
» So let me let me hold on for a minute.

635
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,799
Councilwoman

636
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,159
» Ral sir

637
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:32,559
» President

638
00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:35,600
» Um

639
00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:37,279
let's not create a a a a perception that

640
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,480
because it's in that ward we don't

641
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:42,320
receive complaints I receive complaints

642
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,799
and I try to address accordingly even

643
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,600
it's not my ward but I just want to make

644
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:49,600
sure that they have parking anything

645
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,880
councilwoman Davida you want to say

646
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,960
something

647
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,240
» No she councilman bles she's talking to

648
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,679
someone councilman

649
00:25:54,240 --> 00:26:01,440
» Oh okay So, um I just want to make sure

650
00:25:57,679 --> 00:26:04,720
that when we transfer those license, the

651
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,799
uh I know the clerk know how how to do

652
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,039
her diligent work to make sure those

653
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:11,360
those vehicles when they operating, they

654
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:12,240
not be in the streets taking residents

655
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:14,720
parking.

656
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,919
» Thank you. Roll call. Madam clerk,

657
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,919
» Council president.

658
00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:20,000
» Yeah, Councilman Khaled.

659
00:26:17,919 --> 00:26:22,159
» Parking location should be attached to

660
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,919
the resolution easily. That's just

661
00:26:22,159 --> 00:26:26,799
that's the practice.

662
00:26:23,919 --> 00:26:27,200
» Yes. Honestly, I don't have that um

663
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:29,039
» Yes

664
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,960
» Resolution in the paperwork in front of

665
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:33,360
me. I'm just asking uh

666
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,320
» To the license department

667
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:38,000
» Is the parking location attached to the

668
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,960
resolution. Can you please check it for

669
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,880
me?

670
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,480
» It's not

671
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,320
it's not requested.

672
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,240
» It is not. That's mean this this

673
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,120
application is not complete then.

674
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,039
» Yes, it is.

675
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:50,640
» It is complete. That has not been the

676
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:53,039
practice to add it. That is something

677
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,240
that's being requested today. We can do

678
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:56,159
that in the future but it has

679
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,200
» He's not requested every application

680
00:26:56,159 --> 00:27:01,600
what I have known council president even

681
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:07,200
if somebody I know somebody has one

682
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:10,400
vehicle he provide the the uh parking

683
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:13,360
lease from our parking authority for his

684
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,840
application to move forward. So I mean

685
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:17,200
is council president if I may address

686
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,440
council

687
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,960
» Okay one second council VP I don't think

688
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,279
that's something that should allow us to

689
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,679
remove it I don't want to stop business

690
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,120
from

691
00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:26,559
» No no no no definitely not

692
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:29,120
» I think it's something that we should

693
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:31,440
look into madam clerk um perhaps that is

694
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:33,200
on the uh information please disseminate

695
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,679
it to

696
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:39,200
» As far as I know it's been pass past

697
00:27:35,679 --> 00:27:42,240
practice every taxi company or any

698
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:45,760
transportation company they must provide

699
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:48,960
provide a parking lot or parking lease

700
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,720
with parking authority to to have the

701
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,799
resolution move forward. Council

702
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:56,640
» President, so let's make sure that's uh

703
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:58,720
there madam clerk. Um um clearly I just

704
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:02,399
wanted to just clarify that the

705
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:05,360
application in the application. Okay. So

706
00:28:02,399 --> 00:28:08,240
that's what I wanted to um just let

707
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:10,480
because councilman Kique is correct.

708
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,080
» It has always we always ask that. I know

709
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,320
that the clerk also does her due

710
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,399
diligence. Um what we have in front of

711
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,399
us right now is just a copy of the reszo

712
00:28:16,399 --> 00:28:21,120
which is just saying that it's a

713
00:28:18,399 --> 00:28:24,080
transfer. All right. Um but it is in the

714
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:26,399
application and I know that um uh when I

715
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,159
called cuz I know I got numerous calls

716
00:28:26,399 --> 00:28:30,480
because you know we were having the

717
00:28:28,159 --> 00:28:32,240
special meeting and the finance meeting

718
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,240
uh um and we were having a finance

719
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:37,440
meeting and this goes through finance.

720
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,679
Okay. Um but he is correct that you know

721
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,919
whenever if there's a transfer if it's a

722
00:28:39,679 --> 00:28:44,559
new in new medallions that they need to

723
00:28:41,919 --> 00:28:47,120
show proof that they have a parking

724
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:48,799
enough parking looking at the at the

725
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,200
reszo and the address you can see that

726
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:52,799
they have a lot of parking.

727
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,200
» So madame clerk could you just forward

728
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:57,039
the applications because that's not here

729
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,320

00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,279
all those applications to all the

731
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,360

plus each.

939
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,680
» That that payroll include overtime.

940
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,280
That includes everything and it includes

money uh

951
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:45,920
that we are pending for any budget?

952
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:47,839
» We have from any contract from any

953
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,599
contract. Sorry.

954
00:38:47,839 --> 00:38:50,320
» You're saying you're asking the CFO or

956
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:55,200
» No, I see the BA CFO or CFO could

957
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,640
answer. He's he's the one that manages

958
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,960
the checks um and dispersement. uh CFO

959
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,800
if you're still here I don't see you but

960
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,359
is any chance uh can you tell me if we

961
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,520
still own any retro to any uh contract

962
00:39:05,359 --> 00:39:09,520
that we already settled and we have vote

963
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,839
on it

964
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,240
» Mr. BA.

965
00:39:11,839 --> 00:39:16,960
» Um there were several contracts settled

966
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:18,480
this year and I believe um the fire

967
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,800
officers retro still has to be

968
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,720
rectified. Um the initial numbers that

969
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:26,800
the city came up with and that the union

970
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:28,240
came up with do not exactly match. So

971
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,760
we're going through the process of

972
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:31,440
working through we did the same thing

973
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,640
with the police and it turns out the

974
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:37,119
city's numbers were correct. So um we're

975
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,800
doing that due dil due diligence. It's

976
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:40,320
it's a process. It's a year and a half

977
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,960
that it was out of contract. There's

978
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,320
step movement. There's increases. So,

979
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,160
um, we want to get it right.

980
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:49,040
» So, they they So, in other words, the

981
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:51,280
unions are put in the wrong numbers

982
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,839
or is somebody is calculating the

983
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,320
numbers?

984
00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:56,640
» This the city provided in its initial

985
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,720
view of what the numbers are. The union

986
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,839
has um a slightly comes out to a

987
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,760
slightly different number. So, we need

988
00:39:59,839 --> 00:40:04,960
to get into a room like we did with the

989
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:08,000
police and hash out which side um is

990
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:11,040
approaching the math the correct way.

991
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,480
» Okay. I tossing you. You go handle that.

992
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,400
» Thank you. Roll call, madam clerk, on

come on the it automatically cuts off in

1047
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,359
three minutes. It's not done by us. The

1048
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,720
system does it automatically. You have

1049
00:42:19,359 --> 00:42:21,920
three minutes. First speaker, madam

1050
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:26,760
clerk,

1051
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,760
» Please state your first and last name.

1052
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:36,319
» Good evening. This is Deborah Hannibal

1053
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:40,319
and I'm just calling in um to just

1054
00:42:36,319 --> 00:42:44,960
express my concerns that the meeting was

1055
00:42:40,319 --> 00:42:47,599
not um accessible through YouTube. A lot

1056
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:50,960
of people do not have cable in the city

1057
00:42:47,599 --> 00:42:53,599
and this and I just tuned in late. I

1058
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:59,200
dialed in late so I don't know what was

1059
00:42:53,599 --> 00:43:00,880
discussed about the sewer um fees. Um,

1060
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:04,319
so I don't know if that was still on the

1061
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,560
agenda for tonight, but I think that

1062
00:43:04,319 --> 00:43:10,880
would be something that people would be

1063
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:13,760
concerned about would want to hear. Um,

1064
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:16,960
and it was advertised as being available

1065
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:19,520
on YouTube. So, I just wanted to express

1066
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:23,119
my concerns about that. And I also

1067
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:26,400
wanted to congratulate Rodney Addison

1068
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:28,319
and Adah Pew on a

1069
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:31,200
wonderful

1070
00:43:28,319 --> 00:43:34,240
wonderful events this weekend for the

1071
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:37,839

1072
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:41,359
celebrations and for the AfricanAmerican

1073
00:43:37,839 --> 00:43:43,520
Heritage Parade. Excellence was on full

1074
00:43:41,359 --> 00:43:48,160
display. It was a really wonderful

1075
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:51,440
event. And um that is all I have for

1076
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,599
this evening and uh thank you and I I am

1077
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:56,960
concerned that people did not have

1078
00:43:53,599 --> 00:44:00,240
access to this meeting tonight.

1079
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:02,480
» Thank you M. As was stated previously,

1080
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:04,880
it was not an internal concern. YouTube

1081
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,599
had a streaming issue. Once they

1082
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:10,079
rectified on their side, this content

1083
00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:14,480
will be uploaded immediately on the uh

1084
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:17,440

Patterson first

1089
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:38,560
calling in also to express the same

1090
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:41,839
sentiment that Deborah Hannibal had. Um,

1091
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:44,800
I did log in on to YouTube at 5:00 p.m.

1092
00:44:41,839 --> 00:44:48,000
expecting to watch the meeting and the

1093
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:50,000
meeting was not on. Now, even though

1094
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,400
it's an internal issue or it's not an

1095
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,160
internal issue, it's an external issue.

1096
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,480
Does this meeting still qualify as a

1097
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:59,599
open public meeting

1098
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:03,599
since people cannot watch it?

1099
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:05,920
That's one question. Second question is

1100
00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:09,119
the first reading ordinance for the

1101
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:11,680
sewer tax for the sewer fees was not on

1102
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:13,440
the agenda and was added on to the

1103
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:16,000
agenda and never was advertised in the

1104
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,920
newspaper according to the clerk's

1105
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,480
office.

1106
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,560
Um that's a question of corporation

1107
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,920
council to through to through to madam

1108
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:29,599
chair if he could give that uh clarity

1109
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:31,680
um an answer on that if that is allowed

1110
00:45:29,599 --> 00:45:34,160
to vote on an item on first reading

1111
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:39,440
without it being advertised.

1112
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:41,680
Also the volume for the sewer fees on

1113
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:45,119
commercial properties. When is the

1114
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:50,160
council planning on raising the actual

1115
00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:52,800
um cost per unit for the volume users? I

1116
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,880
think it hasn't been changed since 2017.

1117
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,960
I think the council should look at that

1118
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:59,280
and take that into consideration instead

1119
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,880
of just attacking the homeowners, the

1120
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,560
single family homes, the two family

1121
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,800
properties.

1122
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:09,280
Uh that's about it. Thank you.

1123
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,880
» Thank you. Um, is there are there any

1124
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:14,000
more speakers? Madam clerk,

1125
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:15,839
» We do have another person.

1126
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,920
» They're coming into the line. Please

1127
00:46:15,839 --> 00:46:20,920
state your first and last name for the

1128
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,920
record.

1129
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,160
» Good afternoon. This is Mr. Price

1130
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,119
calling. I don't know if you guys can

1131
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,760
hear me or not.

1132
00:46:27,119 --> 00:46:30,760
» We can hear you.

1133
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:35,119
» Okay. Um, I I have some of the same

1134
00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:37,359
sentiment as some of the other callers

1135
00:46:35,119 --> 00:46:40,319
about this meeting. And I came to this

1136
00:46:37,359 --> 00:46:43,280
council several times about making all

1137
00:46:40,319 --> 00:46:45,599
of our meetings virtual, but there seems

1138
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:48,640
to be a convenience or inconvenience

1139
00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:50,000
decision making process here where it's

1140
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,680
like you guys don't want to hear from

1141
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,880
the public.

1142
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:58,480
In regards to this sewer increase, one

1143
00:46:54,880 --> 00:47:00,720
of my questions is how will the increase

1144
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,480
in the sewer fees help me as a

1145
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:04,560
homeowner?

1146
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,839
Just it's a general question that you

1147
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,280
guys if if you're going to tell me

1148
00:47:05,839 --> 00:47:08,880
you're going to increase sewer fees,

1149
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:12,720
there should be some kind of benefit to

1150
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:15,920
me. And the other question is if this

1151
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:18,480
council can provide details on how the

1152
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:21,119
growth in our city with all the

1153
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,440
buildings, all the overcrowding, how is

1154
00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:26,000
that positively impacting a homeowner

1155
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:29,520
like me?

1156
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,760
And also, when will this council who

1157
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,400
supported a lot of you guys supported

1158
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:38,079
this uh new property revaluation that we

1159
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:41,040
received? How was this council as a body

1160
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:43,440
holding the hands of the individual

1161
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:46,560
property owners like myself? I'll give

1162
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:50,480
you a prime example. I submitted my

1163
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:53,599
comps and when the comps came back to me

1164
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:55,920
indicating what the revaluation company

1165
00:47:53,599 --> 00:47:58,640
was going to provide, there were two

1166
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:02,079
comps that they didn't even include of

1167
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:04,480
homes that were sold on my street across

1168
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:05,920
the street from where I live. But I knew

1169
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,839
the reason why they didn't include those

1170
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,560
comps because those comps would require

1171
00:48:07,839 --> 00:48:13,040
them to charge me or to make my assessed

1172
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:15,040
value lower. So they didn't use them. I

1173
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,359
had to go to the hearing and I had to

1174
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,760
bring this up at the hearing. But it's

1175
00:48:17,359 --> 00:48:21,520
almost like the burden of proof is on me

1176
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,119
to prove it when these comps are out

1177
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:26,400
there. If you look at Red Fin, you look

1178
00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:27,760
at Zillow, these things all out there.

1179
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,760
But I need some help from this council.

1180
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:32,720
But I want these questions answered as

1181
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:35,119
well as what is our plan for balancing

1182
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:36,640
the budget. You guys were supposed to

1183
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:38,559
council president, you said you were

1184
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,640
going to produce meeting minutes and you

1185
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:42,400
were going to produce um all of the

1186
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,480
questions that are asked for every

1187
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,559
public portion and that they would be

1188
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:49,040
publicized on the website. That was

1189
00:48:46,559 --> 00:48:51,280
almost a year ago. I think only one list

1190
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:53,359
has been provided. And the public, we

1191
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:56,079
need this. I mean, you guys want us to

1192
00:48:53,359 --> 00:48:59,200
support you, but we need this. And my

1193
00:48:56,079 --> 00:49:01,920
final question, what is going on with

1194
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:04,319
street cleaning? I can't get street

1195
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:07,440
cleaning done on a regular basis. No

1196
00:49:04,319 --> 00:49:08,880
matter what I do, I've called DPW. I've

1197
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,040
reached out to council members. I've

1198
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:13,359
sent emails and we can't get street

1199
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,440
cleaning on a regular basis. Why do you

1200
00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:18,319
guys think we complain about paying more

1201
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:20,400
for services when we know we're not

1202
00:49:18,319 --> 00:49:22,640
going to get those services? So, what

1203
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:26,240
are we paying for?

1204
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,240
Thank you. Have a good night.

1205
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:29,680
Thank you. Are there any other speakers,

1206
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,520
Madam Clerk?

1207
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:34,079
» We have no other speakers.

1208
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:36,319
» We'll give it uh one minute, but you

1209
00:49:34,079 --> 00:49:38,400
know, just to uh piggyback, Madame

1210
00:49:36,319 --> 00:49:40,720
Clerk, I know that is one of our

1211
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,880
non-compliant issues with uploading that

1212
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:44,720
information on our website. So, Mr.

1213
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,240
Price, you are correct. That is

1214
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:47,680
something that they're diligently

1215
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:49,040
working on, but that request has been

1216
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,800
made to make sure those things are

1217
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,720
uploaded. and then all the other

1218
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:55,839
requests and concerns that you guys have

1219
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:58,400
stated um they will be responded to. Can

1220
00:49:55,839 --> 00:49:59,680
I get a motion to close if there are no

1221
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,720
other speakers in the queue? Medical

1222
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,559
clerk.

1223
00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:04,880
» No other public

1224
00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:07,280

to everyone that uh did call in. Um and

1246
00:50:55,359 --> 00:51:00,000
just to reiterate, the uh YouTube

1247
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,760
concern was not our issue. It was an

1248
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,559
external issue by YouTube streaming

1249
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:06,319
services. Um knowing YouTube and the

1250
00:51:04,559 --> 00:51:08,880
great content that they provide, they

1251
00:51:06,319 --> 00:51:11,839
will get it fixed immediately um to

1252
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:13,119
avoid any um lawsuits. So, I'm sure

1253
00:51:11,839 --> 00:51:15,119
they'll get it resolved and they'll

1254
00:51:13,119 --> 00:51:19,280
upload all the data um as soon as

1255
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:20,720
possible. Madam clerk, my vote is yes.

1256
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,559
» Portion is closed.

1257
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:24,800

1316
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,960
Councilwoman Cotton. If you have your

1317
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:43,599
mother and father alive, just cherish

1318
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,760
them, hug them every day,

1319
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:47,200
make videos, take pictures, even if they

1320
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,280
don't want it, because that is what

1321
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:51,359
you're going to keep as as they move on.

1322
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:53,839
The obvious, the love that they shared.

1323
00:53:51,359 --> 00:53:56,640
Uh but in addition to that, yes, June

1324
00:53:53,839 --> 00:53:59,599
was a beautiful month. uh my son's

1325
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:01,359
return, his birthday, you know, we

1326
00:53:59,599 --> 00:54:04,000
started off with my stepdad who's been

1327
00:54:01,359 --> 00:54:06,240
in my life for over 50 years. June 14th.

1328
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:09,280
June 15th was my mother's heavenly

1329
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:12,720
heavenly birthday. My son's birthday,

1330
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:15,680
June 15. We went on to my nephew, baby

1331
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:18,000
Liam, which was born on Junth. Uh which

1332
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:20,800
by the way, the the parade was

1333
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:23,040
beautiful. I mean, I enjoyed it. Took

1334
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:25,680
many pictures. I still haven't uploaded.

1335
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:28,559
Uh and we ended with my father's

1336
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:31,440
birthday on June 20th. Uh a heavenly

1337
00:54:28,559 --> 00:54:33,520

but have been there to raise children.

1344
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:50,000
Um I think it's so important. You know,

1345
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,680
men, I always say when women say, "Oh,

1346
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,119
I'm the mom and dad." you know to a

1347
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:56,160
certain extent I always say you can

1348
00:54:53,119 --> 00:54:58,559
never replace a a a man's figure in a

1349
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:01,680
child's life. So you know with that said

1350
00:54:58,559 --> 00:55:05,760
and lastly I will say this I am looking

1351

1352
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:10,000

to accomplish any goal in life. Uh so to

1394
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,280
the African-American parade to the

1395
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:59,440
organizer was amazing. It was a

1396
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:02,480
beautiful parade. I have such a great

1397
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:04,000
time uh at Eastside Park. Uh and also

1398
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:06,400
throughout the parade was amazing. It

1399
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,480
was great. Um let's just continue

1400
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,960
pushing and doing what we got to do to

1401
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:13,520
make our city better every single day.

1402
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,359
Right. Um, also to our director,

1403
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:18,000
director Billy, one of the requests that

1404
00:57:15,359 --> 00:57:20,960
I have with the street cleaning is that

1405
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:23,760
I, you know, we need a uh we definitely

1406
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,960
need a report uh and and about the

1407
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,440
street cleaning. We're getting a lot of

1408
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,520
calls uh people asking us in my third

1409
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,280
war, my constituent asking me about why

1410
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,960
we didn't have the street cleaning uh

1411
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,799
passed by today. So, if we could get a

1412
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:37,280
report, that way we could be fully

1413
00:57:34,799 --> 00:57:39,040
informed about what happened and um it

1414
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,720
will help us a lot because we'll be able

1415
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,400
to get back to our constituents and

1416
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,079
letting them know what is the problem,

1417
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,160
what happened, what is the reason why

1418
00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:47,760
street cleaning didn't pass by. Uh so,

1419
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,160
council Kali, I'm looking forward to see

1420
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:52,079

life, especially over the last, I would

1539
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:35,839
say, 8 to nine years. Um, but God saw

1540
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:38,799
fit to still allow her to live. Our

1575
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:05,280
Not sure why you're being challenged and

no one else has been challenged in the

1577
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:09,599

1578
01:04:07,119 --> 01:04:12,319
God um definitely placed you in this

1579
01:04:09,599 --> 01:04:14,480

if he's going to carry you on his back,

1591
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:45,520
