1
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:50,500
1, 2, test, 1, 2, 3,

2
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,260
test.

3
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:24,900
Okay, this one was

4
00:29:22,980 --> 00:29:23,380
nice.

5
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:36,560
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

6
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:53,600
I would like to officially call this meeting order. We're not having any regular scheduled council meeting, but we'll glad to see all of you faces to come out to see what we do in city hall.

7
00:29:56,010 --> 00:29:59,110
Before we start, we want to open with a prayer.

8
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,700
All right, would you please stand reemorkation.

9
00:30:08,460 --> 00:30:35,400
The Scripture says tonight, it's on the 1-21 here. I will lift up my eyes until the heels, and with comes my help, because all of my help comes from the Lord. He will not suffer that foot to be moved. He that keeping these shall leave a slumber and a sleep. The Lord is now keep on. The Lord is now shade upon that right hand. The song will not affect thee by day, another moon by night. The Lord will preserve thee.

10
00:30:35,420 --> 00:30:40,160
He will preserve your soul, he will preserve your going out, and you're coming in from

11
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,120
this time for an even for evermore.

12
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:44,860
That is petition God tonight.

13
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:52,000
Father, we come to you tonight in the name of Jesus with a deeper sense of gratitude and appreciation

14
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,380
for all that you've done for us individually, as well as collectively.

15
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,840
I pray for mayor, relivers tonight, that you would allow your spiritual wisdom to rest

16
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,180
with Him in whatever decisions that will be rendered here tonight.

17
00:31:07,620 --> 00:31:12,420
I live all of the Councilmen's that's present in the name of Jesus, and I pray for

18
00:31:12,420 --> 00:31:18,000
your spirit to abide in all those who are attending this meeting tonight.

19
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,460
I thank you.

20
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:20,240
I praise you.

21
00:31:20,380 --> 00:31:25,520
I honor you and I bless you that things will be done decent and in order.

22
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,400
I thank you in advance for what you are going to do in this meeting, through this meeting

23
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,840
And for this meeting here tonight, in Jesus' name, amen.

24
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,040
Thank you, Reverend Thomas.

25
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,060
First of all, we want to start.

26
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,340
I want to first of all again say thanks for everybody coming out.

27
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,520
I hate that we can't get everybody in the room at the same time.

28
00:31:56,460 --> 00:31:59,740
What I would like for you to think about it.

29
00:31:59,740 --> 00:32:08,500
Though I'm sure you all have like concerns, I'm sure I'm sure some of you have other concerns,

30
00:32:08,620 --> 00:32:14,460
but whatever the concern is, feel free to bring you to the table to speak.

31
00:32:15,420 --> 00:32:17,580
Now, we've got to be called to the size of the audience.

32
00:32:17,740 --> 00:32:19,200
We need to get some order.

33
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,960
But I would like to do with those of you who, if you had a group,

34
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,740
if you could get say a leader out of the group,

35
00:32:26,740 --> 00:32:32,380
to cast, because we're not going to have enough time to get here, but I mean, that's just a deal.

36
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:42,960
So, if anybody interview out here who represents a particular field or an attitude or item, anything that you want to discuss,

37
00:32:43,260 --> 00:32:54,780
that represents who you are affiliated with, you know, get your hand up and we're trying to get some order as to how we recognize you.

38
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:04,500
Let me ask, come on, check, we do want to hear as many as you can, and we want to be

39
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:04,940
orderly.

40
00:33:05,420 --> 00:33:06,340
We are going to be ordered.

41
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:10,680
Now, one thing that's going to take place, if anybody get out of hand, the police officer

42
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,360
will go to escort you out.

43
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:18,340
So this makes sure that we, you know, even though you feel as might come up, we just,

44
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:21,660
you know, we know how that.

45
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,200
Okay?

46
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:23,300
Okay.

47
00:33:24,260 --> 00:33:24,760
Thank you.

48
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:25,760
So much.

49
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,060
Councillor.

50
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,040
Hello.

51
00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:59,020
To the citizens and everybody in attendance tonight, I would like to thank you all for

52
00:33:59,020 --> 00:34:00,440
coming on and joining us.

53
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,800
I did call the town hall meeting the night.

54
00:34:03,220 --> 00:34:07,340
We traditionally have city council meetings every second and fourth Monday of the month.

55
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:11,700
However, we have not had, we had to cancel the day.

56
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:17,020
We've had an issue with council overall and we've had to cancel a lot of meetings recently.

57
00:34:17,780 --> 00:34:20,760
or we have meetings where people just walk out of the meeting.

58
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:27,560
Again, we came here today, the title or the topic of this subject was, where do we go from here?

59
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,560
You know, it's a lot going on in Prairie View Prairie View was growing.

60
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,680
It's a lot of people here. This is the most people I've ever seen coming to city council meeting.

61
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,200
So, you know, Prairie View is growing. It's a lot that can be done and it's a lot that we're trying to do.

62
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:41,600
You have people that are out here that are fighting for you. You have genuine people that are here.

63
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,160
We show up every day that are fighting for everybody in the city.

64
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,480
We're not separating the students from the citizens. We're fighting for everybody's rights and we understand

65
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:56,020
Everybody wants to be here. We have we understand everybody has desire to want to be here

66
00:34:56,020 --> 00:34:59,100
So again, we we fighting for your rights. And we want you to understand that

67
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:07,020
We would love to be able to to to to take action or do things that would help y'all and push y'all along

68
00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:12,680
Unfortunately, we just haven't had that co-operation with the city government. I could say we've had two council members in particular

69
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,620
that have not attended the meetings or just walk out.

70
00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:18,400
You have a Councilman right now who's in Austin, he lives in Austin.

71
00:35:21,070 --> 00:35:23,790
If y'all read the email, that's who put that email up.

72
00:35:24,470 --> 00:35:25,710
Again, understand that.

73
00:35:25,870 --> 00:35:31,210
These people don't necessarily support your ideals, but at the same time they don't

74
00:35:31,210 --> 00:35:32,510
come and talk to you.

75
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:34,550
They back door you and do stuff like that.

76
00:35:34,610 --> 00:35:37,330
They go around you and circumvent you and do stuff like that.

77
00:35:37,830 --> 00:35:41,170
So again, when everybody's gonna have a chance to come up, I would love to hear your ideas

78
00:35:41,170 --> 00:35:44,390
whether it's in regards to the party or just in regards to everything and prayer.

79
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:49,770
Again, I know this party situation is taking over. It's unfortunate that how this has occurred

80
00:35:49,770 --> 00:35:53,990
Again, I'm a former student of preview. I just graduated not too long ago

81
00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:56,670
You know, and I'm still young

82
00:35:56,670 --> 00:36:01,170
I appreciate which I'm doing. I like seeing y'all out there. I like seeing y'all have fun because every time I see it

83
00:36:01,170 --> 00:36:04,510
I'm like that it wasn't ever this big when I was in school, so you know

84
00:36:04,510 --> 00:36:11,650
I support y'all but at the same time we got to remember that we are here

85
00:36:12,290 --> 00:36:18,790
some only for short time while others have been here for a long time so we got to respect

86
00:36:18,790 --> 00:36:22,630
everybody that's here and we go as to the parties and like I said it's other issues

87
00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:26,890
that I would initially came to talk about I wanted to talk about a lot of stuff as far as

88
00:36:26,890 --> 00:36:30,670
going on personal business they don't want me to discuss city business up here which is why

89
00:36:30,670 --> 00:36:34,690
they keep not having the meetings they don't want us to talk about nothing that actually addresses

90
00:36:34,690 --> 00:36:39,950
anything of importance they wanted to be all surface issues and personal reasons that's why

91
00:36:39,950 --> 00:36:44,130
don't come to the mean so please understand that note that no votes are going across we haven't

92
00:36:44,130 --> 00:36:48,370
been able to do anything for you all and this has been a lot of initiatives push for y'all

93
00:36:48,370 --> 00:36:53,130
as far as internships as far as money to go out for like the BLM and the folks who came

94
00:36:53,130 --> 00:36:58,090
and wanted to put BLM industry we've tried to do a lot of that we tried to put money towards

95
00:36:58,090 --> 00:37:03,010
student eventually try to put money towards student initiative we haven't had cooperation these two

96
00:37:03,010 --> 00:37:08,430
seats have been empty they don't want to show up so we look for y'all to make a difference as far

97
00:37:08,430 --> 00:37:14,250
that goes. Now, and we go as to the parties, I will say this. I support you. I support

98
00:37:14,250 --> 00:37:19,870
you. I have an reporting. I don't think too many people are necessarily against the youth

99
00:37:19,870 --> 00:37:24,310
having the party. However, we got to be responsible on both hands responsible and accountable.

100
00:37:24,890 --> 00:37:29,950
No, I'm saying the big issue is luckily, you know, we haven't had too much as far as personal

101
00:37:29,950 --> 00:37:33,970
safety, but this is a lot of issues I drive out here in all the rest. I talk to the citizens,

102
00:37:33,970 --> 00:37:39,410
Trash pick up is probably the biggest issue for everybody that's really concerned about the parties and that's why you're here

103
00:37:39,410 --> 00:37:40,590
I stick to this topic

104
00:37:40,590 --> 00:37:44,950
Sunday morning when we go get up to go to church. I'll Sunday, Eastern

105
00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:49,790
Still a bunch of trash out there at eight and nine o'clock. So while people are coming out to tend to the issue

106
00:37:49,790 --> 00:37:55,630
What people are coming out to handle it you know traditionally everybody goes to church on Easter and everybody has to see that

107
00:37:55,630 --> 00:37:56,410
so

108
00:37:57,110 --> 00:38:01,490
That is a primary reason why you have this type of

109
00:38:01,490 --> 00:38:05,870
action to which going on. You get what I'm saying. It's not that we want to be a

110
00:38:05,870 --> 00:38:13,030
against y'all, but you get this type of reaction when we don't have that

111
00:38:13,030 --> 00:38:16,690
type of cooperation. And so you know, we want to hear what y'all got to say. We want to

112
00:38:16,690 --> 00:38:21,410
be able to feel feed from your ideas and reciprocate to where we just don't

113
00:38:21,410 --> 00:38:25,870
cancel having parties. Or I'm not writing the email saying scratch all the

114
00:38:25,870 --> 00:38:28,810
parties and all all the parties. Because please believe it's some people here

115
00:38:28,810 --> 00:38:32,690
right now. They do not want you out of half parties. They do not support a lot of the stuff

116
00:38:32,690 --> 00:38:37,050
that the students do. There are people that sitting in this room right with you right now amongst

117
00:38:37,890 --> 00:38:42,330
you. Yeah, I said it like that. But I'm for real. There's people that amongst you that's really

118
00:38:42,330 --> 00:38:44,850
against you. Now they are sitting up here and portrayed it to your friend. They are sitting

119
00:38:44,850 --> 00:38:48,630
up here and portrayed it to your comfort. Now we're really going behind you. They're back doing

120
00:38:48,630 --> 00:38:53,790
you as we say. So watch it. Pay attention. Make sure you keep your grass cut because the snake

121
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:54,810
This is out.

122
00:38:54,950 --> 00:38:55,650
Bad touch?

123
00:38:56,510 --> 00:38:56,910
Bad touch?

124
00:38:57,770 --> 00:38:58,390
I'm serious.

125
00:38:58,750 --> 00:38:59,130
Bad touch?

126
00:39:00,010 --> 00:39:03,990
So when we say we don't want these people around, you've got to let these people know

127
00:39:03,990 --> 00:39:05,250
we don't want you around.

128
00:39:05,290 --> 00:39:08,410
We don't want your bad energy, we don't want your negative energy, and we want people

129
00:39:08,410 --> 00:39:09,730
that represent support us.

130
00:39:09,970 --> 00:39:13,210
So again, when you come up here, we're going to keep it limited on the time, don't try to

131
00:39:13,210 --> 00:39:13,590
get to it.

132
00:39:13,710 --> 00:39:17,330
We probably try to keep it under control, but you know whatever issue you want to talk about.

133
00:39:17,350 --> 00:39:18,070
This is town hall.

134
00:39:18,210 --> 00:39:21,850
So you all open to talk about whatever you want to talk about, but just remember this.

135
00:39:21,850 --> 00:39:26,010
the people that care they care are here right now the people that want to hear y'all out

136
00:39:26,010 --> 00:39:30,350
are here right now the people that don't care they show that you see that true colors

137
00:39:31,730 --> 00:39:38,810
absent absent so just remember that just remember what I'm telling y'all it's going to come for a circle

138
00:39:38,810 --> 00:39:44,330
so again if anybody want to talk we would ask to keep it orderly if y'all could maybe just do a line of

139
00:39:44,330 --> 00:39:49,030
five one five out of time and after those five come to somebody else come and then y'all want to speak

140
00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:56,030
We're going to try to get y'all at least three minutes is what we usually give everybody, so if y'all could keep it within three minutes, we would love to do that.

141
00:39:57,670 --> 00:40:02,230
And we're not necessarily feeling questions right now. We just want y'all to be able to speak.

142
00:40:02,810 --> 00:40:07,270
So if y'all do have questions, if we got some time, please ask them, I would love to address them.

143
00:40:08,250 --> 00:40:09,310
That's how I can.

144
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:15,340
Three minutes.

145
00:40:46,780 --> 00:40:48,360
Hello everybody, how y'all doing?

146
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,280
First, I want to thank everybody for coming out. I really appreciate the back up.

147
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:59,800
But I want to speak on behalf of the last time I was here when I came to a city council meeting

148
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,400
It was because they wanted us to have a permit to have a house party

149
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:10,960
I don't know if y'all were here back then but I had spoken on behalf of the party promoters because if we had to have a permit

150
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,860
This is how we got resolved the issue if we would have to have a permit to have a house party

151
00:41:14,860 --> 00:41:20,880
Then my aunt and lives over there wherever somewhere in him state when all the green babies come over and this

152
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,640
man's gathering, she needs to have a permanent also. That's how we got to the bottom of that.

153
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,360
I don't know if some people were here for that, but I remember that because I didn't have a voice

154
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,840
and I had to write it down to somebody saying it for me. So, too, to back door off of what you

155
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:39,180
were saying about the trash or Easter Sunday, my promo team, we love Jesus. We went to church.

156
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,200
So, we said, you can ask my promo girl. I said clean up time for 12 o'clock because everybody

157
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,900
said church was in 930 and get them Tom running Houston, praise the Lord, take their pictures,

158
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:52,220
to get the Easter baskets and we was all hands on deck.

159
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:54,020
We had the whole field clean by three o'clock.

160
00:41:54,740 --> 00:41:56,340
But nobody came back through the record

161
00:41:56,340 --> 00:41:57,820
that the clean field.

162
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,180
I have the videos.

163
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,680
I have, we was out there burning trash this morning.

164
00:42:02,060 --> 00:42:04,860
For everybody that think that we just don't care about the community

165
00:42:04,860 --> 00:42:06,220
and we didn't care about the community.

166
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:07,560
We didn't have a clean to up in the first place.

167
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,540
We didn't tell job to do it.

168
00:42:09,660 --> 00:42:12,460
And in the permit, it shows, with Mr. Boydkins,

169
00:42:12,580 --> 00:42:14,720
the owner of the field, the field needs to be clean

170
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:17,280
by five o'clock the next day, which we did that

171
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,120
with two hours of spirit.

172
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,560
We was actually sitting outside having fun, chilling because it felt good outside.

173
00:42:22,820 --> 00:42:23,800
So that's one thing.

174
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:29,740
Two, y'all, talk about the safety of the parties, all that, me and Rondo, up, police

175
00:42:29,740 --> 00:42:33,880
security double, then they told us it still wasn't enough, we did a triple.

176
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,300
And anybody that's in the party perform business, y'all know security, police is not cheap.

177
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,700
At all, and we understand that we go to the college, cool, I've been college broke

178
00:42:44,700 --> 00:42:47,960
before, I graduated, I don't know how I feel, $10 a lot of money.

179
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:53,560
But people think you know, y'all got all this money. I've heard people in the city say it all you promote

180
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,600
It's got all that money, but y'all don't want to do no for the community

181
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:02,900
I promised to Jesus Christ if it was no part is in prayer of you the crime rate will go up because they have nothing to do and

182
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:08,820
And I've been here before when we had no parties and and me and Rhundle had to come through and we bought out

183
00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:15,780
You know me Rhundle engine we had to go and beg the fairgrounds to allow us to have a party because the crime rate was going up that bad

184
00:43:15,780 --> 00:43:18,000
And that was what Sheriff Getry did for us in him state.

185
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,860
He went out and said, I understand what's going on.

186
00:43:21,060 --> 00:43:22,780
I'm going to try to help you out of bed so I can't.

187
00:43:22,980 --> 00:43:25,140
But the reason why him state is out of the question now

188
00:43:25,140 --> 00:43:26,760
is because the fairgrounds is under construction,

189
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,720
which if y'all will go about it, y'all can see it.

190
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:30,620
It's all under construction.

191
00:43:30,940 --> 00:43:33,180
The vote wasn't even at the fairgrounds this year.

192
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:34,740
Shout out to everybody when it's the vote.

193
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,800
And if you, I want to end with this or mine.

194
00:43:39,420 --> 00:43:41,560
If you would give us a list of people who's running

195
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,280
that you know as for us, because you seem to be down the earth

196
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,720
and not above anybody. I've dealt with council people that just looking at us like oh y'all

197
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:54,440
kids y'all not gonna go vote anyway. But a little do y'all know my grandpa is from preview.

198
00:43:54,860 --> 00:43:59,160
He grew up here, went here, did all that. The older people that still live here are scared. Now they

199
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,780
say they vote don't count because the students are taking over. So if us students come together

200
00:44:03,780 --> 00:44:07,860
and do what we say we're gonna do with you show us the list of people that say they're gonna do

201
00:44:07,860 --> 00:44:12,700
what they're gonna do, then we can run preview. And if we run preview, then it'll be ran the right way.

202
00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:14,580
And that's all I got you.

203
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:37,680
You ready for me?

204
00:44:41,350 --> 00:44:42,050
Get the gown.

205
00:44:42,230 --> 00:44:42,590
Go ahead.

206
00:44:47,550 --> 00:44:48,110
Thank you.

207
00:44:48,290 --> 00:44:53,730
I want to say I appreciate the show of support from everybody here.

208
00:44:54,190 --> 00:44:54,850
Two points.

209
00:44:55,010 --> 00:44:56,470
I want to make maybe three.

210
00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:57,250
Number one.

211
00:44:57,330 --> 00:44:59,950
I want to correct Councilman Malcolm.

212
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:27,780
I want everybody to know that if three, if the other two councilmen were here tonight, we wouldn't be able to have this, because they have a law called open meetings. And if you're going to have all of your council members here, then you have to post this meeting and put it online, at least 72 hours before the meeting happens, if you don't do that, you're breaking the law.

213
00:45:27,780 --> 00:45:35,760
So there's no way that all four council members in the mayor could be here tonight and still have a meeting.

214
00:45:36,020 --> 00:45:39,080
They would make everybody go home and we wouldn't have a meeting.

215
00:45:39,940 --> 00:45:43,640
So I want to make that it's a law that you can't do that.

216
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:49,780
And that's why somebody had to decide who was going to be here and who was not going to be here.

217
00:45:50,180 --> 00:45:56,020
So since Malcolm Councilman Jackson called the meeting, it was important for him to be here.

218
00:45:56,020 --> 00:46:02,720
But they also had to decide which two council people couldn't be here tonight because it's against the law

219
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:04,380
I just wanted to make that clear

220
00:46:04,380 --> 00:46:05,660
also

221
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:15,880
Look in the state statute. It's called open listen everybody if you Google Texas open meetings act

222
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,640
Okay, give what you'll see

223
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:22,680
Thank

224
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:29,860
If you Google Texas Open Meetings Act, you'll find that there's a law that says,

225
00:46:29,860 --> 00:46:35,820
anytime you have all of your council meeting members together in one place talking about

226
00:46:35,820 --> 00:46:42,180
city business, you have to have that posted as a meeting. It has to be posted out front

227
00:46:42,180 --> 00:46:47,860
where we normally post meetings and it has to be posted online. If that's not done, it's called an

228
00:46:47,860 --> 00:46:54,360
legal meeting. So that's why only two council people could be here at one time.

229
00:46:55,120 --> 00:47:02,600
Secondly, the party issue is about safety. I've talked to the police chief. I've talked

230
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:13,100
to people in the county law enforcement and everybody's concerned about your safety and

231
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:19,320
They were telling me that if something happens to someone where the road goes around the post office,

232
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,220
they were telling me that cars were parked on both sides.

233
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:28,880
And if an ambulance or a fire truck has to get to that site, it's difficult for them to get

234
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,560
through those cars at a parking.

235
00:47:31,660 --> 00:47:38,580
So it needs, there needs to be, you all need to get together and have, like, focus group meeting

236
00:47:38,580 --> 00:47:46,700
to see how what you can do to make it safe because the police are concerned about something

237
00:47:46,700 --> 00:47:52,720
happening to you or some of your friends. And then your parents will come and say, well, why

238
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:57,940
wasn't the police chief there? Why wasn't the ambulance there able to get there? So it's really

239
00:47:57,940 --> 00:48:04,520
a concern about safety. And I'm sure if you can sit down get a representative focus group

240
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:09,960
to sit down with our policemen and work through the details.

241
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,900
There gotta be some details that you have to work through

242
00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:14,320
in order for it to be safe.

243
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,560
So when you have parties like this,

244
00:48:17,620 --> 00:48:22,960
your parents can know that you are safe in that environment

245
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,400
and it won't be a problem.

246
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:26,860
So those are the two things that I wanted to mention.

247
00:48:27,140 --> 00:48:29,840
The issue about the parties is all about safety

248
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:36,740
for you, if my son and my grandson, or a ceiling college, I would be concerned too.

249
00:48:37,580 --> 00:48:43,580
Like this young man said he was able to work out some detail, logistics, with the county,

250
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:49,960
for the party, and all you have to do is sit down with the police chief here

251
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,900
and get a team together, six or seven people, and sit down and work out

252
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:59,060
how we're going to have these parties, and what kind of safety details you're going to have.

253
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:08,120
And the other thing is, look up things up, open, well, I was interrupted a couple of times.

254
00:49:08,660 --> 00:49:10,480
Okay, thank you.

255
00:49:10,620 --> 00:49:11,540
Okay, thank you.

256
00:49:11,940 --> 00:49:18,520
And work out the, no, look up the open meetings at.

257
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:25,720
And there is any time you have, like I said, you can't have all the council members here.

258
00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:31,600
In one space at one time without giving a 72 hour notice, thank you.

259
00:49:32,180 --> 00:49:32,700
Thank you.

260
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:34,300
Thank you, Dr. Brown.

261
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,640
Oh although you

262
00:49:42,510 --> 00:49:45,590
turned me down.

263
00:49:45,850 --> 00:49:48,490
Tested one, Dr. Brown.

264
00:49:48,730 --> 00:49:51,370
The Dr. Brown was right, that there would be a problem.

265
00:49:52,090 --> 00:49:56,010
I don't think Councilman Jackson was talking about the town hall meeting.

266
00:49:56,470 --> 00:49:59,330
He was just simply talking about the city council meeting.

267
00:50:00,090 --> 00:50:04,630
That's why we need those people to show up at is to see the cow.

268
00:50:06,370 --> 00:50:14,510
Not the town hall meeting, the town hall meeting is designed just for what we're doing now.

269
00:50:14,710 --> 00:50:18,450
But we need them to come to the council meeting again.

270
00:50:19,290 --> 00:50:25,070
This is the people that you voted in whether you voted or not.

271
00:50:25,070 --> 00:50:33,350
these are the people that you voted in. If you did vote, you voted in me. If you didn't vote, you voted in me.

272
00:50:33,870 --> 00:50:41,590
So again, Councilman Jackson wasn't speaking on, I don't believe now. I don't want to take in the words out of his mouth.

273
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:46,740
What's your name?

274
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:47,640
What's your name?

275
00:51:48,500 --> 00:51:49,380
Rondo, that's my name.

276
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,440
Mr. Rondo, where are your friends?

277
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,020
My name is, school.

278
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,180
So, I'm gonna say this.

279
00:51:56,180 --> 00:52:03,560
I play a big part in this whole party stuff, this whole event stuff, whichever way you want to call it.

280
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:09,020
And from what I'm getting from everything I'm told is, I feel like y'all know we're about safety.

281
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,800
I feel like police know we're about safety, let me tell you why.

282
00:52:12,020 --> 00:52:14,400
Granted, everybody's persona is safety.

283
00:52:15,180 --> 00:52:18,440
I have 100 girls on my promoting, 100.

284
00:52:20,180 --> 00:52:23,180
And people are complaining to us about not picking up trash at eight in the morning.

285
00:52:23,620 --> 00:52:29,880
So that means they want us to do it that night after part out. I was told to comment that you need to start picking up trash that night at a party

286
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,140
I have a hundred girls once again. We help me

287
00:52:33,140 --> 00:52:36,040
If we have let's say 1500 people there

288
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:37,320
1600 1700

289
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,480
Don't even count two thousand you want a hundred girls

290
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:45,300
Out there at night time going up and down the street

291
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,560
At three in a morning tour in the morning couldn't have this whole thing

292
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,160
You want them clean up everything and we got guys out here when we

293
00:52:53,180 --> 00:52:55,480
I don't know, rap in success, let's be realistic.

294
00:52:56,020 --> 00:52:57,360
You got people trying to kidnap with me.

295
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,080
These girls are scared sometimes because it was a weird

296
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,560
if I'm being honest.

297
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:03,420
And you know who responsible them?

298
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,180
When them girls hungry, I feed them.

299
00:53:06,460 --> 00:53:07,620
When they need some I take her.

300
00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:09,740
When they tire, I bust it, I go change it.

301
00:53:09,740 --> 00:53:10,640
It's stuff in their nature.

302
00:53:10,900 --> 00:53:12,220
So that's the number one right there.

303
00:53:12,380 --> 00:53:13,180
We tell them about trash.

304
00:53:13,900 --> 00:53:15,380
We tell them about, I'm aware about safety.

305
00:53:16,300 --> 00:53:19,560
Two, people trying to make it seem like we've had anything

306
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:25,500
go down at any event that I've ever ever ever thrown. I've had a meeting with chief. I've had a

307
00:53:25,500 --> 00:53:30,440
meeting with Lieutenant Sergeant anybody. They know my face in this building. They give me a

308
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,320
bare minimum. Hey, we need you to have 10 police officers there. I'm doubling up in 20 there.

309
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:43,400
You asked me and I'm antiquity. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Has done that. Nobody is

310
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,760
willing to pay the money to do that. We're talking about experience for them. We're talking

311
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:50,540
people like you said Blossomstein, which had a whole function Sunday with 500 people

312
00:53:50,540 --> 00:53:55,960
there, but we still had 23 offices out there on a Sunday. So I'm saying I

313
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,920
care I'm one of my girls and picking up trash. We're gonna pick up the trash

314
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:03,700
with God. It's trash gonna get done. We have 5, 6, 7, maybe vence lined up for this

315
00:54:03,700 --> 00:54:08,800
whole semester. Why don't nobody take pictures when the trash is clean? Why don't

316
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,800
nobody do it before and after? Because in the evening I got that I seen,

317
00:54:16,660 --> 00:54:16,660
I

318
00:54:16,660 --> 00:54:22,220
why they're picking up trash. So it's not any 11 o'clock. At any 11 o'clock.

319
00:54:23,180 --> 00:54:28,820
Church of start at 830. So it's either you want me to put my girls out here at a middle night

320
00:54:29,660 --> 00:54:34,600
at 3 in the morning with with big old paper bags and gloves. So because we out there at

321
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,300
I don't have two hours picking up. Put them out there and then on top of that to go to the second

322
00:54:38,300 --> 00:54:43,540
doors. We talk about safety with cars. We tell every single person who bring they call

323
00:54:43,540 --> 00:54:46,100
Parking the grass, don't walk on a median,

324
00:54:46,180 --> 00:54:48,240
park in the grass, so you're not even on the street.

325
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,140
So the ambulance has a way to get up and down

326
00:54:50,140 --> 00:54:51,000
every single time.

327
00:54:51,340 --> 00:54:52,800
We have a clear driveway entry.

328
00:54:53,300 --> 00:54:54,280
All of them is covered.

329
00:54:54,660 --> 00:54:55,520
So when it comes to logistics,

330
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,320
can you nobody tell me about logistics?

331
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:58,940
Because I'm an logistics person.

332
00:54:59,300 --> 00:55:00,960
And I held it as to the tea every single time.

333
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,000
So I actually frustrated me that we even in here

334
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,420
talking about safety and trash pick up

335
00:55:05,420 --> 00:55:07,300
when you want my girls at their three in the morning.

336
00:55:07,620 --> 00:55:08,980
Because somebody got to be responsible for that.

337
00:55:08,980 --> 00:55:10,260
And my mom was called my phone.

338
00:55:10,780 --> 00:55:11,480
They don't call you.

339
00:55:11,820 --> 00:55:12,580
They talk to me.

340
00:55:12,580 --> 00:55:18,880
So I'm I'm holding back some of the words I want to say so I'm gonna just say I

341
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:20,420
find a kind of foul

342
00:55:20,420 --> 00:55:24,300
They were about trash when safety's what the peak is concerned

343
00:55:24,820 --> 00:55:27,480
That's that's all I'm gonna say cuz I don't want to

344
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:31,500
Tweak out, but I'm gonna just leave it at that that's all I have to

345
00:55:40,980 --> 00:55:40,980
say

346
00:55:40,980 --> 00:55:43,140
Question there my name is James

347
00:55:43,140 --> 00:55:48,880
Where does George James? Mr. James. Okay. All right. First of all, the evening

348
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:59,500
I want to talk about every stipulation that was put in front of us.

349
00:56:00,300 --> 00:56:07,120
So every time a stipulation come, we don't, we don't show it down, we don't argue we agree

350
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,100
to it.

351
00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:10,760
When they say get insurance, we get insurance.

352
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:15,260
When they say get security, we get security, when they say get police, we get police.

353
00:56:15,260 --> 00:56:20,000
When they say pick up the trash, we get up, we go pick up the trash, the next day.

354
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:25,040
It's never been a note to nothing day, being presented to us.

355
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:31,200
So the problem is, they try to cut us off from doing this stuff.

356
00:56:31,940 --> 00:56:33,720
And we never say no, we listen.

357
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:42,440
So when it comes to a problem, it comes from, it's always come from the citizens.

358
00:56:43,260 --> 00:56:48,900
and we don't we don't mine picking up we don't mine going up the next day I

359
00:56:48,900 --> 00:56:52,760
get a call hey y'all forgot to pick up I get a right thing in there and I

360
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:57,000
go pick it up it's never no issue me in the science I got up this morning and we

361
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,280
went to pick up trash on the side of the street because you know we made we

362
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:05,780
made forgot some spots but we still went up and we went to pick it up I

363
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:11,320
want the citizens to know that we're citizens too we go to the college we live

364
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:18,280
here. And if somebody put trash in my yard, of course I want to pick it up. So we don't

365
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:23,120
have a problem with cleaning up the trash. It's never been a problem with going to pick up

366
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:23,680
the trash.

367
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:32,740
The problem is with us is it's kind of like you're going to tell on us and we

368
00:57:32,740 --> 00:57:40,760
are already doing it. So I think the problem that we kind of want to address is what's the

369
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,700
problem with us doing parties. What's the real problem with us doing parties?

370
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,140
That, that, that, that's kind of what we, we're trying to find out.

371
00:57:50,620 --> 00:57:51,720
Is it really the trash?

372
00:57:54,340 --> 00:57:58,960
Is it really the trash? Or y'all just don't want us to have fun because I, I mean, I, I think everybody hear it.

373
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,120
Young, oh, I'm pretty sure everybody went to a party.

374
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,100
I'm pretty sure everybody went to the club.

375
00:58:07,620 --> 00:58:13,860
I'm pretty sure everybody hit on had a drink. So what, what's really the problem? That's, that's kind of what we trying to figure out.

376
00:58:13,860 --> 00:58:19,540
Because we ain't we we have never said no to anything that being presented to us

377
00:58:20,860 --> 00:58:23,860
So that's a lot. That's all I just want to ask

378
00:58:34,610 --> 00:58:37,480
you right there.

379
00:58:44,870 --> 00:58:45,630
Oh, everybody

380
00:58:46,770 --> 00:58:51,850
My name is Toby of worries. I leave here in Peruvia, Texas

381
00:58:52,550 --> 00:58:58,170
Originally came from Nigeria when I was 19 right about your ages

382
00:58:58,950 --> 00:59:01,750
Actually schooled in a place called University of Oklahoma

383
00:59:02,610 --> 00:59:07,650
in number of songs. We had about 5,000 people in the town at the time.

384
00:59:09,130 --> 00:59:10,530
Right now I'm a 42-year-old man.

385
00:59:12,070 --> 00:59:15,850
I'm married, and I have four children. It's one of my daughters right there.

386
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:23,580
My issue right now is not with the party. Like I said, I did it just like you or did.

387
00:59:24,220 --> 00:59:26,200
But I want you to take a call to me saying something.

388
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:30,920
Part is not all life is about. You need this social

389
00:59:32,380 --> 00:59:38,280
having news to get things out of you, understandably, please do it. I appreciate your

390
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:44,380
old promoters, the level of integrity you guys have shared right now tonight. I didn't

391
00:59:44,380 --> 00:59:51,080
know about no party, I came for City Council. I am not preview to that side of things, right?

392
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,840
I only came for City Council, and then to see you guys turn off, it was all right, great.

393
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:59,940
I'm going to have a good one tonight, but in our fun it is about parties and try.

394
01:00:02,620 --> 01:00:10,980
The reason, so during my time we parted in a club, we didn't do it outside in the open, even in Oklahoma.

395
01:00:11,380 --> 01:00:22,000
It's really cold out there, too. But some of the issues you face to it is because Perv is not developed in no way to have a venue to be able to do stuff like this.

396
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:28,580
One of the reasons why I show up here is because, so I said I'm 42, if you take this

397
01:00:28,580 --> 01:00:34,880
demographic of purview, you notice that people might hate me, I'm not in this city.

398
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,460
They've grown here, and they've moved away, right?

399
01:00:38,580 --> 01:00:41,760
You could say the same thing about me too, I told you my history, I came from Nigeria, I moved

400
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:42,020
away.

401
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:50,060
But I go back home every year, go back to Nigeria every year, God help, now his,

402
01:00:52,410 --> 01:00:53,090
I want my

403
01:00:53,090 --> 01:01:02,870
I have twin boys that are two years old, a 7-year old, and a 14, now 15, excuse me, there.

404
01:01:04,170 --> 01:01:08,310
I want them to be proud that they grew up in Peruvia.

405
01:01:09,330 --> 01:01:13,390
I moved them all the way from Houston to World of Sugarland Texas out here,

406
01:01:13,690 --> 01:01:18,550
and we did this doing COVID during the whole Black Lives Matter movement.

407
01:01:18,550 --> 01:01:27,530
I want to say space where my kids could be like, you know what, I see my brother, I see my uncle, I see this, and how do you need to hear?

408
01:01:29,130 --> 01:01:35,630
The dysfunction in city council, that you guys are experiencing, talking about council members not coming in.

409
01:01:36,030 --> 01:01:37,810
It's been going over months now.

410
01:01:38,590 --> 01:01:48,010
We do need a lawyer, we do need the city planner, we need a city manager, we need a city engineer back.

411
01:01:48,010 --> 01:01:55,230
on track so we can start doing stuff or fortunately that has not been the case now

412
01:01:55,230 --> 01:02:01,090
I'm no more for politics, but I'm also no one to stand by and watch things decayed

413
01:02:02,050 --> 01:02:07,750
Either we all need to leave a life of impact and I think that's what you guys are trying to do impact the life of this students

414
01:02:07,750 --> 01:02:14,690
So they have an experience when they get out of here to say look actually when to prove you in it

415
01:02:14,690 --> 01:02:17,470
I see all of this to say this. I'm running for city council

416
01:02:18,210 --> 01:02:23,910
and I'm running for position two. I'm glad that you guys are here. I'm open to

417
01:02:23,910 --> 01:02:28,250
listening to all what you said, more or less than something like I said, your life

418
01:02:28,250 --> 01:02:33,550
is not just about parties. We're brought to you in the first place was your intellectual

419
01:02:33,550 --> 01:02:38,550
capacity, their ability to build it. That's going to help put some paycheck into

420
01:02:38,550 --> 01:02:43,850
your pockets. Guys, I suffered through my college years. I paid my way to

421
01:02:43,850 --> 01:02:49,630
call it plain international fees. I got kicked out of school twice. What that of physics

422
01:02:49,630 --> 01:02:55,770
example, by two police officers, because I didn't have money to pay for school. But I still

423
01:02:55,770 --> 01:03:00,050
graduated with a personal engineering degree. I currently work right now for an energy

424
01:03:00,050 --> 01:03:05,290
company. I can work anywhere in the world. Now understand what I'm trying to say to you.

425
01:03:05,570 --> 01:03:12,970
Your intellectual capacity matters a lot. Don't make it all about parties. Right? Build this such

426
01:03:12,970 --> 01:03:14,990
that anywhere in the world where you go to,

427
01:03:15,150 --> 01:03:16,510
you can have an impact.

428
01:03:17,330 --> 01:03:19,690
That's why you're praying since you're here in the first place.

429
01:03:20,150 --> 01:03:21,130
I get it.

430
01:03:21,290 --> 01:03:23,530
You still need that avenue to get out as well.

431
01:03:24,070 --> 01:03:26,550
Now, if you're building your intellectual capacity,

432
01:03:27,150 --> 01:03:29,850
we pray daily on and pass the Reverend praying

433
01:03:29,850 --> 01:03:31,550
and you say it in Jesus' name.

434
01:03:31,850 --> 01:03:33,250
And I heard with suddenly everybody

435
01:03:33,250 --> 01:03:36,010
said, Amen, you have a social life as well.

436
01:03:36,010 --> 01:03:38,290
You have a spiritual life as well.

437
01:03:38,890 --> 01:03:40,370
Take care of that part of yourself.

438
01:03:40,470 --> 01:03:42,010
Without you, you will not get the rational

439
01:03:42,010 --> 01:03:47,210
to anything else you're doing in life, you'll be going back and forth and nothing will make sense.

440
01:03:48,510 --> 01:03:52,550
You need some level of physical health.

441
01:03:53,330 --> 01:03:57,470
Now, let me tell you something, if you're sick right now, your toes hurt, would you be able

442
01:03:57,470 --> 01:03:59,330
to sit right now or say you have a hemorrhoid?

443
01:03:59,950 --> 01:04:01,450
How would you sit right now?

444
01:04:02,130 --> 01:04:04,110
Your physical health matters.

445
01:04:05,210 --> 01:04:10,450
What you eat, what you drink, I know what you're talking about drinking, I'm not mad

446
01:04:10,450 --> 01:04:17,510
drinking, right? What you eat, what you drink, how much rest you get in matters. You better

447
01:04:17,510 --> 01:04:25,230
be able to exercise as well, right? You need, I've talked about your physical, your spiritual,

448
01:04:25,430 --> 01:04:30,050
your intellectual. All of these things are things that you do for yourself. That will help you

449
01:04:30,050 --> 01:04:32,690
inside. My five minutes is up and I gotta go. Thank you, sir.

450
01:04:48,670 --> 01:04:53,770
I'm going to keep it real short and sweet because, you know, it's been a long night, I guess.

451
01:04:55,170 --> 01:04:58,290
But I know you all can answer questions, like these are rhetorical questions.

452
01:04:58,870 --> 01:05:02,630
Have you all fixed the water issue at Bookside and Peter Hill yet?

453
01:05:03,330 --> 01:05:03,450
Okay.

454
01:05:03,870 --> 01:05:05,030
We can answer questions.

455
01:05:05,030 --> 01:05:05,890
We can answer questions.

456
01:05:06,850 --> 01:05:07,590
Oh, okay, go ahead.

457
01:05:08,090 --> 01:05:09,150
Can you answer that question from me?

458
01:05:09,170 --> 01:05:09,790
What was your question?

459
01:05:09,790 --> 01:05:13,270
Have you guys resolved the water issue in Brookside or Penta Hill?

460
01:05:13,750 --> 01:05:15,090
The Pikes Bustin?

461
01:05:15,210 --> 01:05:16,050
It's from it.

462
01:05:16,090 --> 01:05:21,850
Well, what's happening with that is that it's probably on and just, you know, by

463
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:25,070
you bringing the issue up tonight, we can check into it.

464
01:05:25,650 --> 01:05:36,250
Again, we need the council to be here in order to make a decision as to how the rules

465
01:05:36,250 --> 01:05:46,230
will affect Panther Hill and the other part of the unit. Brooks side. So again, even though

466
01:05:46,230 --> 01:05:49,830
you're talking tonight, we're going to write it down. I'm writing it down as you speak.

467
01:05:50,570 --> 01:05:55,910
And we will address that in some fashion, another with the people that we do have. And hopefully

468
01:05:55,910 --> 01:06:01,090
we can get that straight now for you. Okay. Well, that problem has been going on since my freshman year.

469
01:06:01,110 --> 01:06:04,850
I'm a junior now. So I do hope that you all write it down and y'all do get some work done with

470
01:06:04,850 --> 01:06:09,530
But have y'all worked on getting fresh produce and meat here for the students and the

471
01:06:09,530 --> 01:06:10,630
citizens of Prairieview?

472
01:06:13,070 --> 01:06:20,510
Well, again, it's like I was telling you about, this administration hadn't been here.

473
01:06:20,850 --> 01:06:26,010
When I say this administration myself, Mayor Lebritt and Councilman Jackson hadn't been

474
01:06:26,010 --> 01:06:29,210
here long enough to really get anything done.

475
01:06:29,210 --> 01:06:44,330
There have been previous administrations that should have done that already, you know, and this is where we are now, and this is the reason why I said what the tonight meeting was said where do we go from here?

476
01:06:44,330 --> 01:06:51,930
We need y'all to continue to put y'all's input, come to these council meetings, and hold these

477
01:06:51,930 --> 01:06:56,010
city officials accountable for their actions.

478
01:06:56,530 --> 01:07:08,510
There are things that you as citizens can do and should do to hold your council and your leaders

479
01:07:08,510 --> 01:07:14,070
you know, holy, holy leaders accountable. So again, this is something that should have been happening.

480
01:07:14,790 --> 01:07:21,190
I mean, you see the signs that they're putting up, out there now, those people have been on the council. I don't have mine up yet.

481
01:07:22,350 --> 01:07:25,590
But they've been on the council. I mean, again.

482
01:07:25,910 --> 01:07:26,190
Okay.

483
01:07:26,770 --> 01:07:33,790
So I asked those questions because there's a lot bigger problems in preview of Texas and while the county

484
01:07:33,790 --> 01:07:37,650
than us leaving three pieces of trash on the field after party.

485
01:07:40,050 --> 01:07:42,870
All of our promoters, all of our party people,

486
01:07:43,190 --> 01:07:46,030
they make sure they wear safe, they make sure we have a good time,

487
01:07:46,290 --> 01:07:47,950
they make sure we go home at night.

488
01:07:48,970 --> 01:07:51,730
And for y'all, when I think y'all, it's probably not y'all specifically,

489
01:07:52,570 --> 01:07:56,090
but whoever wrote that email, I heard he was at the party.

490
01:07:56,310 --> 01:07:57,390
That's what the street saying.

491
01:07:58,410 --> 01:08:03,430
So for you to go and back door, things like that is insane.

492
01:08:04,690 --> 01:08:07,890
When there's, when there's bigger problems at hand,

493
01:08:08,990 --> 01:08:11,810
y'all, before the party started, I think the party started at 10.

494
01:08:11,990 --> 01:08:14,750
It was torn at 9.30. I'm not, nine o'clock.

495
01:08:15,470 --> 01:08:19,230
And so it's, y'all are saying it's a safety issue, so this issue is the trash issue.

496
01:08:19,850 --> 01:08:23,270
But honestly, it has to be something more than that, and we want to know what it is.

497
01:08:23,610 --> 01:08:25,550
Because we want to have a good time. We want to be safe.

498
01:08:25,670 --> 01:08:28,970
We want to make sure y'all are okay as well, because again, we all live here.

499
01:08:29,670 --> 01:08:31,470
So, with that being said, I'm leaving like that.

500
01:08:31,470 --> 01:08:37,390
But we do want to answer so that we all could come to want to bring it and be able to live cause he's a good thing.

501
01:08:37,590 --> 01:08:39,590
Right. That. Hello, ma'am.

502
01:08:39,890 --> 01:08:40,690
Did you hit that button?

503
01:08:41,450 --> 01:08:44,750
But, and I do want to say this before you leave, ma'am,

504
01:08:44,990 --> 01:08:48,850
that myself as well as the mayor and councilmember Jacksonville personally,

505
01:08:49,570 --> 01:08:53,670
give what the chief of police tomorrow to find out what is the problem,

506
01:08:53,750 --> 01:08:59,970
because it, I mean, as far as if it's just a trash, then we don't have a problem.

507
01:08:59,970 --> 01:09:01,850
You know,

508
01:09:04,660 --> 01:09:17,500
let me, let me, excuse me, first of all, let me reintroduce myself again, I am

509
01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:19,060
mayor lever, Ron lever,

510
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:25,080
well how many, how many, I see, I saw one, you said you a junior,

511
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:34,260
in sophomores, in your whole hands, sophomores, in other juniors, oh wow let me

512
01:09:34,260 --> 01:09:43,740
several of you vote for me last let me say this to you say this to the audience this

513
01:09:43,740 --> 01:09:52,940
is my third time being mere freedom and I'm saying this we work real hard to be

514
01:09:52,940 --> 01:09:58,700
back to be back here to win to be mayor again and I didn't work hard to be

515
01:09:58,700 --> 01:10:04,180
mayor again to be sitting here talking to you just to be talking. There are a lot

516
01:10:04,180 --> 01:10:13,080
of things that need to be corrected and I invite anybody historically, honestly,

517
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:18,600
historically, meaning way back to check my record. Do some research, some

518
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:35,600
Michael, Councilor Jackson said, do your homework, check my records, Google run, and find out what you find in terms of my record and how we spent money and did things back in the day.

519
01:10:36,340 --> 01:10:41,780
I go back as far as when I was, maybe we didn't even have a post office in the city of Paris.

520
01:10:41,780 --> 01:10:49,980
I mean, I could go way back, way back when, whether the barber shop is on 10.98, you know what?

521
01:10:49,980 --> 01:10:54,680
The barber shop is, that would see the hall when I was mayor, at one room.

522
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,440
So, so I can go way back.

523
01:10:59,460 --> 01:11:03,020
And I can also think about some of the things that are going on now.

524
01:11:03,740 --> 01:11:07,120
And I have been to, I've been to a few of the parties.

525
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:13,840
because I got billboards where students supported me and I appreciate it and

526
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:18,520
I came to the party because I went to school to let you know that I had a

527
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:24,840
field for what you were doing and I understood. I taught that period for

528
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:32,710
16 years before I retired. A real close association with students when I

529
01:11:32,710 --> 01:11:39,750
work that for you. So I could go back and do a lot of history. And like I said, I could

530
01:11:39,750 --> 01:11:47,870
tell you a lot of things, but right now I have even when I was not mayor. I didn't miss

531
01:11:47,870 --> 01:11:53,450
many meetings. I see a game. Even when I was not elected, standing at the pole, you're trying

532
01:11:53,450 --> 01:11:59,950
to understand why we do things the way we do. One of the things that I had to meeting with

533
01:11:59,950 --> 01:12:12,110
chief today and being concerned. I told the chief, this is the application. This is the application.

534
01:12:13,470 --> 01:12:17,110
There's needed to be filled out in order to have a party.

535
01:12:19,390 --> 01:12:22,310
Well, guess what? After talking with the chief today.

536
01:12:23,230 --> 01:12:28,490
And I said very clearly, we are going back, this application has to be revised.

537
01:12:28,490 --> 01:12:32,630
to be very good. It has to be revised. I mean, I had no

538
01:12:32,630 --> 01:12:37,590
I till and even some of the, at some point, you said that

539
01:12:37,590 --> 01:12:40,390
were eight. Somebody told me were eight parts of the night.

540
01:12:43,010 --> 01:12:45,910
Well, that, I felt sorry last week. I'm sorry. I didn't mean

541
01:12:45,910 --> 01:12:51,190
a loud. No, and no, oh, week. I was there.

542
01:12:52,250 --> 01:12:57,510
Then the whole week, I'm sorry. But in a week. In a week,

543
01:12:57,510 --> 01:13:04,270
in the whole week, I don't remember saying eight of these, but my name is all here, so I

544
01:13:04,270 --> 01:13:10,310
something happened between those have a signature for the mayor, but I'm just saying eight

545
01:13:10,310 --> 01:13:15,810
sheets, so some kind of where you all got about me, some kind of where. But anyway, with

546
01:13:15,810 --> 01:13:24,050
that said, with that said, there are some changes. I'm going to have to be made. You mentioned

547
01:13:24,050 --> 01:13:32,150
we talk about safety, and definitely safety is an issue, we want everybody to be safe.

548
01:13:32,830 --> 01:13:37,610
But at the same time, I think that the government that we are the government and body, you

549
01:13:37,610 --> 01:13:44,210
are in the city of review, it's up to us to have a major role in protecting your livelihood

550
01:13:44,210 --> 01:13:45,930
and protecting you.

551
01:13:46,410 --> 01:13:50,910
And we have to do a better job, we can all do a better job, I can do a better job.

552
01:13:51,450 --> 01:13:57,110
One thing about it is a lot of it has to do with communication and when we don't communicate.

553
01:13:58,430 --> 01:14:00,750
I don't know what you're thinking, you don't know what I'm thinking.

554
01:14:02,050 --> 01:14:04,250
We don't know what we've heard it.

555
01:14:04,370 --> 01:14:05,450
We try to have a meeting.

556
01:14:06,450 --> 01:14:09,010
Sometimes even I got this notice.

557
01:14:09,590 --> 01:14:16,550
I had no idea that I had an opportunity to speak with to communicate with council Alexander.

558
01:14:17,370 --> 01:14:19,490
He made it clear that he was not going to be at the meeting.

559
01:14:20,370 --> 01:14:28,670
He said, he won't let us say he won't be able to meet it, but I'm concerned, I'm concerned.

560
01:14:31,030 --> 01:14:38,630
And so I have a Mr. Me, I don't think I've missed a meeting, but if, and as Councilman Jackson said, we get paid.

561
01:14:40,130 --> 01:14:48,190
You know, everybody up here gets a stipend. So I've been reading the letter to the Secretary and said, if we don't show up, we shouldn't get a stipend.

562
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:56,460
why should we be paid tax pay as money and we don't participate?

563
01:14:57,740 --> 01:14:59,080
I don't even want to download.

564
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:08,580
If even if something that council Jackson accounts for a period, council, Alexander, councilwoman, when

565
01:15:08,580 --> 01:15:16,380
the wind did not agree with me, let's debate. Let's let the citizens see what she or he says,

566
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:22,280
see what I say, let's debate the issue, and let's discuss it. Because often times, just like

567
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:28,520
I say, even with this, I didn't realize that some of the things that were not on here until today.

568
01:15:29,100 --> 01:15:36,140
So we have to come together with our minds, to find out why or why not, or why should we

569
01:15:36,140 --> 01:15:40,720
should add something, or why should we should detract, to take something away.

570
01:15:41,500 --> 01:15:42,740
We should do that.

571
01:15:43,020 --> 01:15:45,520
We should agree, you hear this all the time.

572
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:49,700
We should come together to, in some case, to agree to disagree.

573
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:55,800
And it doesn't mean there's not necessary negative, but it's understanding.

574
01:15:56,860 --> 01:16:00,540
That's where we get the lack of understanding. We don't understand each other in the

575
01:16:00,540 --> 01:16:05,740
many cases. We have our own ways of doing things. And a lot of that's based on

576
01:16:05,740 --> 01:16:09,960
the experience that you have had. What about the experience that I've had in

577
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:14,200
certain things? Maybe you found understand what I've experienced that I've had. You

578
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:18,840
don't understand a lot more. I came to, as I said, I came to Caribbean 73.

579
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:25,300
And I

580
01:16:25,300 --> 01:16:30,420
I went out and got students in the architect department to design the house that I live

581
01:16:30,420 --> 01:16:31,300
in right now.

582
01:16:32,440 --> 01:16:37,960
That's how much I thought about the students in the skills in which you have learned.

583
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,600
You know, let's put it this easy to talk.

584
01:16:41,300 --> 01:16:41,900
Let's talk.

585
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:43,320
Let's prove.

586
01:16:43,500 --> 01:16:44,120
Let's do something.

587
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:46,560
Don't talk about it.

588
01:16:46,820 --> 01:16:47,440
So, show it.

589
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:52,160
So, I say that to anybody and I encourage you to do it.

590
01:16:52,160 --> 01:17:00,240
But the same thing, as I said, we are taking notes, I'm taking the median, so I'll be able

591
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:05,500
to go back over because I want to make sure I understand and hear you, hear your voice

592
01:17:05,500 --> 01:17:10,000
and that's why I said, give it name so that I can put that width with the voice.

593
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,100
So is it the next?

594
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:22,280
I

595
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:34,760
don't even know how I've been all in y'all face, I'd be on the yard, you can see me some

596
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,860
of y'all, you can recognize me, I'd have been all in your face telling you the issues.

597
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,700
A lot of these issues, like what Ms. Fernandez was asking about about the water, has

598
01:17:41,700 --> 01:17:45,340
been happening since she's been out a junior, and has been happening a few years from now.

599
01:17:45,820 --> 01:17:49,840
You guys take the opportunity, you have some of the same people that were in position now,

600
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,960
making those decisions to build Panther Hill in a floodplain.

601
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:54,780
Panther Hill was built in the floodplain.

602
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:56,920
Found here was built in the floodplain.

603
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:00,340
These were properties and apartment complexes

604
01:18:00,340 --> 01:18:04,160
that are just now being zoned to be apartment complexes.

605
01:18:04,420 --> 01:18:05,660
They've been up five years.

606
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:09,200
Yet you ask councilman Jackson who'd been in office three months to approve it.

607
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:11,860
I know nothing about it, but I'm supposed to approve it.

608
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:13,980
What I do know is, you had a plumbing was bad.

609
01:18:14,020 --> 01:18:15,740
First week Panther Hill was on the news.

610
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:17,120
First week it opened.

611
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:18,800
It was on the news because the plumbing was bad.

612
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:23,780
toilet and flesh and it was just staring but you have certain people people right now that are still trying to be in position

613
01:18:23,780 --> 01:18:28,080
that are running for city council right now you got to pay attention watch these folks

614
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:29,020
watch them

615
01:18:29,020 --> 01:18:34,840
I'm telling you because they put y'all in that situation they don't want where your water coming down why are you taking the shower and the roof come out

616
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:39,880
they don't want where you get electrocuted when you tap it on the shower the shower here they'm the same people

617
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:44,020
these are the same people that put y'all in these situations with inadequate living

618
01:18:45,260 --> 01:18:48,040
I'm serious, I'm there serious.

619
01:18:48,460 --> 01:18:50,960
These are the same people that put y'all in that inadequate living.

620
01:18:51,460 --> 01:18:56,820
So y'all got to make sure y'all make sure y'all go ask questions, ask everybody questions,

621
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,720
and realize that these aren't just problems, these are problems that we've come into.

622
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,500
And instead of running in hard, we're going to fight them straight ahead.

623
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,480
That's why we like y'all support, we like y'all being here, because we're going to fight

624
01:19:06,480 --> 01:19:07,040
them straight ahead.

625
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:10,860
A lot of the issue is people have just been taken, they don't want to address the issues,

626
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:12,800
because I got to play both sides of the fence.

627
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,060
I got to look make myself look good on one side make myself look good on another with a factor of matter

628
01:19:17,060 --> 01:19:21,680
I'm gonna be a friend with you now if you don't like me being a friend with you, you know, that's tough

629
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:25,780
But I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna play you. I'm not gonna manipulate you

630
01:19:25,780 --> 01:19:30,540
I'm not gonna sit up here and say our prime is this and I bring this and I'm gonna bring this to the city and do this

631
01:19:30,540 --> 01:19:32,760
Yet and steal I miss managing money

632
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:37,680
Yet and steal I take the money that's supposed to go to rolls the charge drive on and take it and do some meals

633
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:39,920
You give what I'm saying yet and steal

634
01:19:40,460 --> 01:19:44,540
I'm the reason why they build in this bad plumbing on all of these properties.

635
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,040
All these apartment complexes.

636
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:47,480
Brixide is crummy.

637
01:19:47,740 --> 01:19:49,900
If you go to Brixide, it is crummy.

638
01:19:50,780 --> 01:19:52,320
The standards should be a lot better.

639
01:19:52,380 --> 01:19:53,240
How do we allow that?

640
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:54,020
Why do we allow that?

641
01:19:54,020 --> 01:19:58,580
You got people sitting in these same seats, been here five, six, seven, eight, nine years

642
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:00,060
that ain't did nothing.

643
01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:03,800
But now they want to get up and walk out now, acting like they care about you.

644
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,460
They didn't want to provide when the folks was out there in the co, in the February

645
01:20:07,460 --> 01:20:11,480
free is using port of parties because we ain't provided sewage in water. Go over, if they look

646
01:20:11,480 --> 01:20:15,760
up pre, we got a whole neighborhood in pre of you with no sewage, no water. And if you got about

647
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:20,420
50 families living over there, but you got some of the same people sitting right here that walk out

648
01:20:20,420 --> 01:20:24,760
when we try to help them, but they didn't want to do nothing to help them. So to the joy show

649
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:30,520
consumers for now does ask the people that was here. They're still here. They may not be here today.

650
01:20:30,820 --> 01:20:35,180
Some more, but ask the people that was here and ask the people that was present. Why is it like this?

651
01:20:35,180 --> 01:20:40,200
And why should we keep you here? You didn't do nothing before. You ain't did nothing all this time

652
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:45,260
But you want to walk now? You want to act like you cared now? Who you really care about?

653
01:20:45,700 --> 01:20:50,840
The people of yourself because they just saving they self that's all it is. So understand that my bad man

654
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:54,380
For cutting you know your time. You still got your time. Go here. We want to hear what you saying

655
01:20:56,490 --> 01:21:01,500
hello. Hello. Don't hear me. All right

656
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:05,320
My name is William McPhil Jr. This is my first year at PV

657
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,320
I'm from Arneson, Texas, which is a suburb.

658
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:11,180
So moving out here has really been a lot of adjusting

659
01:21:11,180 --> 01:21:15,240
because, you know, I'm from the city, and it's really like the country out here.

660
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:20,860
And being here, I've noticed that, you know, we don't have a lot of things.

661
01:21:22,860 --> 01:21:27,220
And I think there needs to be understanding on both parts, like, yes, if a safety is concerned,

662
01:21:27,500 --> 01:21:28,760
like, that's something that we can talk about.

663
01:21:31,170 --> 01:21:35,270
But the city of PV, like there, you know, we're part of the field and we're not complaining.

664
01:21:35,270 --> 01:21:39,930
And so it's like we really don't have much to go off of so it's like you're complaining about

665
01:21:41,830 --> 01:21:48,170
Stuff that I feel like is the city's fault like this. It's not PV students fault that we're partying in the field like we

666
01:21:49,070 --> 01:21:50,950
You know, so so

667
01:21:51,570 --> 01:21:53,870
These are just these are the consequences that come with

668
01:21:55,070 --> 01:22:01,490
Prairie if you're not giving the student and then we are citizens of purview like we do as college students

669
01:22:01,490 --> 01:22:06,450
We do have a voice in the city of Purdue and if the older generation is not taking care of us

670
01:22:06,450 --> 01:22:11,770
We have the people we have the population to take care of ourselves and we have and I'm saying

671
01:22:11,770 --> 01:22:19,750
We have a history of pv alumni running for positions, but as you know, we can see those students are not helping us as

672
01:22:19,750 --> 01:22:22,170
We were not getting to help that we need so

673
01:22:22,770 --> 01:22:29,900
I'm currently I'm the new elect for VP of external affairs and so I want to bring awareness to all of this and I was going to do a next year because there wasn't really

674
01:22:30,340 --> 01:22:37,960
a strong push when I come to the means, you know, there's not that many students here. So I was going to wait until next year to bring up and adjust all these issues, but

675
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,040
the council people, the council members have

676
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:45,600
just wanted to start this fight early. And so this is an issue that

677
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,100
correct me if I'm wrong, but elections are the 24th, right?

678
01:22:51,980 --> 01:22:57,320
Okay, and so these are the kind of rules, these are the kind of issues that they want to

679
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:02,900
focus on when they're in office. So what we need to do is get them out of office and put people in there that

680
01:23:02,900 --> 01:23:10,860
align with our ideologies and other issues that we want. So with that, that's all I want to say.

681
01:23:11,300 --> 01:23:14,160
Oh, yeah, that's all I want to say for now.

682
01:23:22,910 --> 01:23:23,790
Thank you.

683
01:23:23,810 --> 01:23:24,750
Hey, stay tuned for me, Roma.

684
01:23:29,610 --> 01:23:29,810
Roma.

685
01:23:30,090 --> 01:23:34,690
I know that you guys are all voicing concerns today and we definitely have issues.

686
01:23:35,430 --> 01:23:39,590
And we have to understand as a city of Peruv, we have issues that have been clear, right?

687
01:23:40,330 --> 01:23:42,650
And we know that stuff is still not getting fixed.

688
01:23:42,650 --> 01:23:49,110
So if it's still not happening and some of these students in this room can tell you I've say some of these students at a burning building

689
01:23:49,730 --> 01:23:55,170
I've come when these students have been crashed over turned in the water in the lake and

690
01:23:55,170 --> 01:23:57,510
We still don't have the resources that we need for the city

691
01:23:59,010 --> 01:24:04,490
So I understand that everyone's voice in their concerns and that's great. I want concerns to continue to be voice

692
01:24:04,490 --> 01:24:06,410
But let's start giving you some solutions

693
01:24:07,050 --> 01:24:10,790
The solutions that I'm going to start giving you are primarily to the parties today

694
01:24:10,790 --> 01:24:16,590
Okay, because that's why this whole meeting was really convenient was over parties. So first solution.

695
01:24:26,450 --> 01:24:26,470
So,

696
01:24:33,110 --> 01:24:33,110
so

697
01:24:33,110 --> 01:24:38,610
Alright, now he's right, he's correct. I mean, he's an order. He's an order to give all right solution.

698
01:24:38,850 --> 01:24:45,430
We can give solutions. I'm not telling you to enact these solutions, but we're going to provide solutions if we want to raise key to these problems.

699
01:24:45,570 --> 01:24:46,370
I'll provide them, okay?

700
01:24:46,990 --> 01:24:53,770
some of these permit fees for these parties. We talk about safety. I've met with the party promoters all in this room raise your hand.

701
01:24:54,210 --> 01:24:59,950
I've met with all of these party promoters and we've all had conversations. We all care about the safety of these students.

702
01:25:01,310 --> 01:25:08,430
When we look at the city, the city police department has had officers on these streets every single night that these parties have taken place

703
01:25:08,430 --> 01:25:13,910
and they have done everything that they can to keep these students safe. But we also need to start looking at the city police department.

704
01:25:13,910 --> 01:25:20,090
some of these permit fees need to start being propagated and funded to the police department's fiscal budget

705
01:25:20,090 --> 01:25:22,470
prior to them creating that budget.

706
01:25:23,430 --> 01:25:24,750
Of course, sure.

707
01:25:25,430 --> 01:25:26,270
Permit fees?

708
01:25:27,450 --> 01:25:28,830
How much do you have for you?

709
01:25:29,750 --> 01:25:31,730
Currently, the permit fee is $50.

710
01:25:32,050 --> 01:25:32,290
I believe.

711
01:25:32,850 --> 01:25:37,910
Okay, let me say something alone that I'm just saying this, and I don't want to make a quick

712
01:25:37,910 --> 01:25:38,330
you all.

713
01:25:39,770 --> 01:25:42,790
But $50 for a permit, do you know what?

714
01:25:42,790 --> 01:25:50,470
Roller County with the City of Walleterred for a permit, the City of Himset, the City of Walleter County, I mean even with Waller County charge.

715
01:25:51,130 --> 01:25:57,330
This is why I say that in order for us to do better, we need you, we're going to have to do better.

716
01:25:57,950 --> 01:26:00,470
But if you have to dollars, then you're going to do it.

717
01:26:00,490 --> 01:26:02,330
Yes, sir, so we've spoken about that, right?

718
01:26:02,650 --> 01:26:05,870
We've educated ourselves on what are the nearby permitting fees.

719
01:26:06,230 --> 01:26:08,850
Also, we've looked at the city's budget, okay?

720
01:26:08,850 --> 01:26:14,290
for these officers to work over time on these streets and the approximate amount of these

721
01:26:14,290 --> 01:26:20,010
officers is little to the probably what you think it is and that's okay we're willing

722
01:26:20,010 --> 01:26:24,950
to work with the city on that. Our next key solution part B to that would be all these

723
01:26:24,950 --> 01:26:30,210
party promoters having close meetings with city officials and discussing what is it that

724
01:26:30,210 --> 01:26:36,830
these permit fee should be but key having these permit fees going to our police departments

725
01:26:37,690 --> 01:26:43,210
Funding so that they can provide the key personnel for these parties every night that we've had parties out here in the city

726
01:26:43,210 --> 01:26:45,270
They're out there doing everything that they can

727
01:26:45,270 --> 01:26:52,030
We have had no issues officers that are in this room that are outside in the room the issues that they have or issues that are happening out the city

728
01:26:52,490 --> 01:26:56,790
Or in the city outside of the party not what's going on in the party

729
01:26:57,270 --> 01:27:00,770
So let's make sure that we're funding them appropriately and that we're helping them

730
01:27:01,430 --> 01:27:05,690
So that they can keep us safe and keep the rest of the citizen safe next solution

731
01:27:06,270 --> 01:27:12,570
clean up times I'd like to address that sure you know because you tell me something that

732
01:27:12,570 --> 01:27:16,270
I'm gonna and I'm gonna see the councilman. I didn't know that the police department

733
01:27:16,270 --> 01:27:21,450
wasn't funded correctly and if that's a problem that needs to be addressed with the

734
01:27:21,450 --> 01:27:26,910
chief of police to let him know because he's the one that makes the budget up. That is okay

735
01:27:26,910 --> 01:27:31,170
but the chief of police only has so much say we're the citizens we all pay taxes in this

736
01:27:31,170 --> 01:27:38,110
Yeah, but that's that's where his say would come back to the council and we would make the decision on how much money

737
01:27:38,110 --> 01:27:45,110
If he say he need a $100, I'm just use a hundred dollars for sure if he says he needs a hundred dollars for the parties and

738
01:27:45,830 --> 01:27:50,990
He brought in that back to the cow. I haven't seen anything from him that says that he needs more funding

739
01:27:50,990 --> 01:27:56,770
I don't know where you get your information from and all you a police house negative. Okay, so I don't know

740
01:27:57,410 --> 01:28:06,110
I don't know where you get information from, but I haven't seen anything come from the chief as requested in the additional funding.

741
01:28:06,730 --> 01:28:20,290
In fact, I've talked to the chief about even getting a program put in place so that if we did have some some emergencies to deal with, that we would be prepared.

742
01:28:20,290 --> 01:28:23,310
But you know, even getting them ready, yo, I haven't heard it back from him yet.

743
01:28:23,690 --> 01:28:31,030
But I'm saying to you, to you, that is not true because once he's bringing something

744
01:28:31,030 --> 01:28:36,430
before the council and these council members have come up here and meet, they and that can

745
01:28:36,430 --> 01:28:37,050
be taken care.

746
01:28:37,190 --> 01:28:38,290
It's not a big deal.

747
01:28:39,810 --> 01:28:43,950
So I'm not going to stay on that all day long, that that's something for another city council

748
01:28:43,950 --> 01:28:44,250
meeting.

749
01:28:44,630 --> 01:28:45,750
I'm here to bring solutions.

750
01:28:46,450 --> 01:28:48,570
But to one of that, we have one police chief.

751
01:28:48,570 --> 01:29:00,270
one police chief can only add so much. We got 12,000 students on this campus. Okay, so with 12,000 students and their concerns, we can bring solutions to help this police department and make sure that they're funded appropriately.

752
01:29:01,010 --> 01:29:16,310
And I'm almost finished, Mr. Mayor. If we look at all the nearby surrounding municipalities in this county, city of purview police department is the most underfunded police department. They have the least amount of equipment and they have the least amount of resources that they have.

753
01:29:16,310 --> 01:29:24,590
We can change that and that's fine to change that but when I'm bringing solutions, let's start looking at these solutions and how we can enact them moving on to part two of solutions.

754
01:29:28,070 --> 01:29:28,770
All right.

755
01:29:29,230 --> 01:29:41,490
As well as meetings, party promoters and I have met, we've looked at having at least one meeting a month with key personnel, with key city personnel and the police department to understand what are the concerns that the city has.

756
01:29:41,490 --> 01:29:44,430
Again, our top priorities making sure that these students are safe.

757
01:29:44,930 --> 01:29:55,270
So if there's a concern that the city has, let's hear those concerns and address them and understand how can we put those concerns into resolutions and solutions instead of just talking about it all day long.

758
01:29:55,710 --> 01:29:58,310
We're more than happy to work with the city to have these parties.

759
01:29:59,030 --> 01:29:59,750
And also,

760
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,960
With these permitting fees bring you more revenue into our city, with everything else.

761
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:09,320
Next thing on here, all right, is going to be four cleanup times.

762
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:12,360
Rondo mentioned that we want these girls to be safe.

763
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:18,180
All right, so with these cleanup times, I understand that the city wants to be clean and we want to keep the city clean,

764
01:30:18,440 --> 01:30:26,660
but we need to get together and mandate a cleanup time for these special events within the city that are during daylight hours.

765
01:30:27,780 --> 01:30:33,580
during daylight hours. Now if these events are not cleaned up by a certain time, okay,

766
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:38,940
the city can go ahead and implement fees on these vendors or implement fees on these land owners.

767
01:30:39,440 --> 01:30:44,420
But the cleanup times need to be permitted during daylight hours that alleviate people getting hurt.

768
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:50,020
That also keeps our safety as a priority and it also keeps the way we can allow these city officers to go home off this overtime

769
01:30:50,020 --> 01:30:54,100
and go back home to their families instead of keeping them out there and worrying about more events.

770
01:30:57,110 --> 01:31:02,130
They're worried about the people while they're out cleaning up because yes

771
01:31:02,690 --> 01:31:09,450
Well, I'm just saying all the people it's so many of my dead as clean enough to where they're going to be

772
01:31:09,450 --> 01:31:16,770
Disrupted to the public they're not going to be disrupted to the public but we want to make sure they're safety is a top 40 if these young ladies here are out on

773
01:31:16,770 --> 01:31:19,250
1098 cleaning up trash and they get hit by a vehicle

774
01:31:19,750 --> 01:31:25,930
Do you know how much money and resources it takes to dispatch an ambulance a fire truck officers reports tracking

775
01:31:27,410 --> 01:31:31,970
Well, I don't know, I don't know that, but I'm just saying, you know, with them, with

776
01:31:31,970 --> 01:31:37,830
them being in the daylight hours, and I don't have a problem with them, not in fact,

777
01:31:38,010 --> 01:31:42,210
they need to be in the daylight hours, and I'm not the one that was shooting and taking

778
01:31:42,210 --> 01:31:42,870
pictures of that.

779
01:31:42,870 --> 01:31:44,950
It was a police department that was doing that.

780
01:31:45,310 --> 01:31:51,390
I'm just here to hear your concerns about how can we resolve the problem that we have

781
01:31:51,390 --> 01:31:54,990
without police department and the people that are part of it?

782
01:31:54,990 --> 01:31:56,610
So that is a problem.

783
01:31:56,970 --> 01:31:57,150
Definitely.

784
01:31:58,630 --> 01:31:59,310
All right.

785
01:31:59,450 --> 01:32:00,690
We'll bet I close again.

786
01:32:00,850 --> 01:32:04,230
Let's mandate that these clean-up hours are doing daylight hours.

787
01:32:04,730 --> 01:32:06,990
And they are within a certain time frame from the venue ending,

788
01:32:07,230 --> 01:32:09,710
so that we can make sure that our safety is a top priority for our citizens.

789
01:32:09,910 --> 01:32:10,190
Very good.

790
01:32:10,390 --> 01:32:10,650
Thank you.

791
01:32:11,030 --> 01:32:13,890
Okay, let me, let me, before you leave, before you leave,

792
01:32:13,890 --> 01:32:16,170
let me, let me say just say this.

793
01:32:16,170 --> 01:32:18,050
This, just put, you say it.

794
01:32:18,390 --> 01:32:20,910
It's the same conversation that I have with the chief today.

795
01:32:21,090 --> 01:32:21,310
All right.

796
01:32:21,390 --> 01:32:24,970
That's why I said that this two page, this needs to be written.

797
01:32:24,970 --> 01:32:32,330
guys, it needs to be revised. And I'm most of the thing that you've mentioned was the

798
01:32:32,330 --> 01:32:36,990
conversations that I have with the chief of police today. Given example, I'm so I

799
01:32:36,990 --> 01:32:44,930
could move on, as I said that a deposit, and I think somebody mentioned it, a deposit

800
01:32:44,930 --> 01:32:54,310
putter, and by the time you, regardless if the deposit says that you have to pick up the

801
01:32:54,310 --> 01:33:00,010
time they could take that deposit and pay somebody to pick it up. But the incentive is for

802
01:33:00,010 --> 01:33:05,610
you to come back and get your $400 or whatever the deposit was so you would go ahead and

803
01:33:05,610 --> 01:33:13,150
and let's should be a part of this application. Okay? So anyway, we're working and I think

804
01:33:13,150 --> 01:33:19,150
I appreciate all of the comments because it helps us to really understand the treatment.

805
01:33:19,830 --> 01:33:23,850
What's on your mind? And then we can start to try to put this together because we're going to

806
01:33:23,850 --> 01:33:29,530
to go. Very well. I do feel that the parties that have already been

807
01:33:29,530 --> 01:33:34,490
permanent and approved should proceed as well as money has already been spent

808
01:33:34,490 --> 01:33:41,250
for the as money has been spent for these venues and special events. So let them

809
01:33:41,250 --> 01:33:45,010
proceed as continued and approved. Let's make sure we keep a close eye on that

810
01:33:45,010 --> 01:33:47,890
and keep our safety as a number one priority and then let's start to convene

811
01:33:47,890 --> 01:33:51,250
with key officials in these party promoters under Sandhawk and we address these

812
01:33:51,250 --> 01:33:54,210
concerns, and so that we're not sitting here talking about it again.

813
01:33:54,330 --> 01:33:54,570
Okay.

814
01:33:54,770 --> 01:33:55,350
Thank you.

815
01:33:55,350 --> 01:33:58,370
Lastly, lastly, lastly, would you with the part of the motors?

816
01:33:59,510 --> 01:34:02,730
Would you all have any problem with meeting with some of us?

817
01:34:03,090 --> 01:34:05,350
You know, just to get it.

818
01:34:06,030 --> 01:34:06,410
Okay.

819
01:34:07,810 --> 01:34:08,590
Thank you.

820
01:34:09,030 --> 01:34:13,510
And one of the things that I got to say this to, because not because I've taught it

821
01:34:13,510 --> 01:34:18,230
preview, but any of you out here know it, I always see it that I have, you know,

822
01:34:18,230 --> 01:34:26,050
of the city and the university to come together, I always say that and I will continue to say

823
01:34:26,050 --> 01:34:31,530
that because first of all I'm not from Texas and I didn't go to preview but I never understood

824
01:34:31,530 --> 01:34:37,590
what a city and the university is not together. I still don't understand that. Okay?

825
01:34:49,980 --> 01:34:53,620
Bravo Alpha Echo Zulu Alpha.

826
01:34:55,380 --> 01:34:57,600
You got

827
01:35:18,650 --> 01:35:23,890
it?

828
01:35:51,500 --> 01:35:55,760
So that's the situation, but I agree with a lot what he's saying, I understand on both

829
01:35:55,760 --> 01:36:00,120
ends it has to work on both ways, it's 2023 charging $50, we are taking a short

830
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:00,640
So

831
01:36:04,070 --> 01:36:10,990
for the police, I'm right back to this. It comes right back to this. We sit up here and we make a budget.

832
01:36:11,210 --> 01:36:17,190
We make a budget to give to the police. I'll give this. We hired the chief wife after the budget.

833
01:36:17,810 --> 01:36:23,770
We already came up with the chief wife came in. So he wasn't able for any specifics in regards to him specifically.

834
01:36:24,450 --> 01:36:27,530
And that is something that can change up within this next upcoming budget.

835
01:36:27,690 --> 01:36:31,830
However, when we did make the budget, when there was questions about where is the money?

836
01:36:31,830 --> 01:36:33,670
We supposed to be getting all this money.

837
01:36:33,870 --> 01:36:36,970
Preive you receives $1 million almost annual.

838
01:36:37,050 --> 01:36:38,130
No, take that back, sorry.

839
01:36:39,050 --> 01:36:39,530
Yeah, that's right.

840
01:36:39,870 --> 01:36:43,030
$1 million almost annually from sales tax allocation.

841
01:36:43,230 --> 01:36:46,890
We get about $500,000 generally to the general administration.

842
01:36:47,070 --> 01:36:49,450
We get about $250 to our economic development.

843
01:36:49,890 --> 01:36:53,450
And we get about, oh, the improvement in street control.

844
01:36:53,830 --> 01:36:56,550
Right now, when you go ask for what the budget is on half of those,

845
01:36:56,690 --> 01:36:58,530
you come out with zero or I don't know.

846
01:36:58,810 --> 01:37:01,250
You get what I'm saying, but you don't have no expenditures.

847
01:37:01,250 --> 01:37:07,670
You go look at your rows expenditures. We've been spent $50,000, but we suppose to have 500,000.

848
01:37:07,850 --> 01:37:08,510
You did what I'm saying.

849
01:37:12,810 --> 01:37:16,950
That's always students to clean up. You get what I'm saying, but the money gone, the money missing.

850
01:37:17,070 --> 01:37:21,230
And then when we come up to add these budget meetings, folks walk out.

851
01:37:21,290 --> 01:37:22,430
Then I want to talk about the budget.

852
01:37:24,710 --> 01:37:26,250
We were Dr. Browna saying this.

853
01:37:26,890 --> 01:37:29,690
We tried to talk about the, we wanted to actually sit down and discuss.

854
01:37:30,630 --> 01:37:33,590
These folks walked, we got to discuss on the budget.

855
01:37:33,590 --> 01:37:38,470
And that's what I'm going to tell you and understand that.

856
01:37:38,610 --> 01:37:40,390
What you're going to do?

857
01:37:53,670 --> 01:37:54,210
Okay.

858
01:37:57,990 --> 01:38:02,870
Well, I know that everyone's here for the party,

859
01:38:03,570 --> 01:38:05,290
you know, it was talking about the parties.

860
01:38:05,770 --> 01:38:10,070
I think that, you know, if we do the trash pick up in the morning,

861
01:38:10,270 --> 01:38:12,930
so no one gets in danger or something,

862
01:38:12,930 --> 01:38:17,730
And I think we have, I think we are pretty much good police officers here.

863
01:38:18,150 --> 01:38:23,230
We have police officers on campus, and I don't see why they can't supplement if we

864
01:38:23,230 --> 01:38:26,990
have any shortages or anything like that.

865
01:38:28,190 --> 01:38:31,590
I think the police officers might like that.

866
01:38:31,670 --> 01:38:38,950
And then also, the main question is, why is there a big problem with parties?

867
01:38:38,950 --> 01:38:46,430
This is a college town and I mean, that's right, you know, this is a college town.

868
01:38:47,090 --> 01:38:52,790
So I mean, I think that, you know, it's almost like a right, but I don't know, but

869
01:38:52,790 --> 01:38:56,910
since you're going to purify you, I think that we should have areas for the college students

870
01:38:56,910 --> 01:39:00,730
to have a party well, you know, we take care of safety and security.

871
01:39:01,850 --> 01:39:08,150
But if I get in there, believe me, Mike James, thank you very much.

872
01:39:08,150 --> 01:39:08,150
All

873
01:39:23,670 --> 01:39:30,750
right. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

874
01:39:31,310 --> 01:39:38,670
Okay, let's wait a minute. Hold on. Hold on. We're not. We're coming.

875
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:42,000
It's all nothing.

876
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:52,860
My name is Barbara Manuel Magnilla. I'm also running for position two. I'm a long time citizen.

877
01:39:52,860 --> 01:39:54,540
I've been here all my life.

878
01:40:03,350 --> 01:40:04,290
What did you say?

879
01:40:05,250 --> 01:40:06,190
Oh, no, you okay?

880
01:40:09,290 --> 01:40:10,670
Since 1950, now.

881
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:18,700
In the reason why I'm running,

882
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:21,240
because I have had problems with myself.

883
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:26,660
And students, I'm so glad to see you all participate.

884
01:40:28,100 --> 01:40:28,780
It's a blessing.

885
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:30,900
And I'm not a stranger.

886
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:33,680
If you know why I traveled right back up to you,

887
01:40:34,780 --> 01:40:39,740
those of my ancestors, my grandfather was a legislator.

888
01:40:42,150 --> 01:40:45,550
GWY, you can look it up, it's bigger than the capital.

889
01:40:46,770 --> 01:40:53,710
So this is my bloodline, who made me run was the issue that I'm having with the CDF for you.

890
01:40:54,690 --> 01:40:57,930
Now I've never had an issue with this man here,

891
01:40:58,770 --> 01:41:02,710
but I have had issues with starting from...

892
01:41:26,010 --> 01:41:28,750
I have had problems with my water beer.

893
01:41:29,630 --> 01:41:31,350
Matter of fact, my water still off.

894
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:44,060
And it's been all, it's been so long, I don't know how to treat it, it's probably four years far, but that's all right because God gonna take care of it.

895
01:41:44,260 --> 01:41:50,520
You know, I'm not worried about it, because I mean, when you suffer, God help yourself for a purpose.

896
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,060
You know, you don't suffer for nothing,

897
01:41:56,660 --> 01:42:02,220
but I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you, these people will get an office and they will lie.

898
01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:09,660
They look right in your eyes and lie and I'm not scared to you know, you look at my father

899
01:42:09,660 --> 01:42:15,140
told me, it's name of Booker Team man you wear. You said, if you have a problem, you

900
01:42:15,140 --> 01:42:21,700
go to the head. You don't talk behind anybody back. And my dad was like this, it didn't matter

901
01:42:21,700 --> 01:42:25,840
what nationality you were. He would tell you to your face.

902
01:42:28,770 --> 01:42:32,670
But I'm here for the citizen. And if I

903
01:42:32,670 --> 01:42:33,790
I don't know the answer.

904
01:42:34,890 --> 01:42:36,230
I find out the answer.

905
01:42:37,490 --> 01:42:40,030
I mean, I don't run you around and lie to you.

906
01:42:41,700 --> 01:42:43,100
But I had a water beer.

907
01:42:44,340 --> 01:42:45,720
And I had a payment plan.

908
01:42:46,620 --> 01:42:49,020
And I paid the payment plan off.

909
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:51,960
But then when I paid the payment plan off,

910
01:42:52,480 --> 01:42:55,460
the lady came and told me, you owe some more money

911
01:42:55,460 --> 01:42:57,200
for 10 years ago.

912
01:42:59,960 --> 01:43:01,640
Now, you've got to save a lot.

913
01:43:02,900 --> 01:43:04,380
And get a payment plan.

914
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:11,300
And you play that payment plan out, but you thought they don't come back, they're white people.

915
01:43:11,460 --> 01:43:15,820
You thought they don't come back and say, oh, you owe some more for ten years ago.

916
01:43:26,670 --> 01:43:28,130
But it precedes it too.

917
01:43:28,390 --> 01:43:32,630
Long-time citizen, I know a lot, I could tell you, I'm not going to lie.

918
01:43:33,490 --> 01:43:35,030
I pray for the nation.

919
01:43:35,630 --> 01:43:38,550
I don't just pray for my children and myself.

920
01:43:39,330 --> 01:43:42,630
You know, my heart goes like I say to the nation.

921
01:43:44,420 --> 01:43:47,920
Another thing I'm saying, it's in my bloodline, D.W.

922
01:43:48,060 --> 01:43:49,300
I'm a legislator.

923
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:51,560
He's pitchin', take a drift out of him.

924
01:43:51,980 --> 01:43:54,740
And you see he's represented a well-account

925
01:43:54,740 --> 01:43:55,920
and all these different towns.

926
01:43:56,300 --> 01:43:58,980
I have another relative pitchin' right here

927
01:43:58,980 --> 01:44:00,460
on the University of Durham.

928
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,400
Freeman, that's another relative of mine.

929
01:44:04,060 --> 01:44:05,260
My mother was a friend.

930
01:44:05,620 --> 01:44:06,300
Don't read it.

931
01:44:06,500 --> 01:44:08,020
It's right on the University of Durham.

932
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:12,440
And the only reason why D.W. I,

933
01:44:12,440 --> 01:44:16,940
I mean, not in Wall of County, the mayor, he didn't want it to happen.

934
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,420
Not this mayor, a mayor in Houston,

935
01:44:24,090 --> 01:44:25,970
and he represented it.

936
01:44:26,050 --> 01:44:29,110
And he'd have found a wide chapter church right back on TV.

937
01:44:30,610 --> 01:44:31,450
He was a founder.

938
01:44:31,970 --> 01:44:34,430
You've got to read, don't read the information that's a church.

939
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:38,060
But that's why I'm here.

940
01:44:38,100 --> 01:44:41,760
They have to sit, you know, because if you have a little water beer,

941
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:52,600
And the mayor, they're not concerned about that little water being, they push that to one of the secretaries and they're looking for a big project.

942
01:44:53,420 --> 01:44:57,220
Why they could get big money, only the table I want to tell you.

943
01:45:01,790 --> 01:45:21,210
We asked it for this information. You know, bring the stuff forward. So the citizens that know what's going on. Don't hide information. Then the councilman, you know, she's walking out and she made a statement that they cut my word out and said, uh, I cut my own word out.

944
01:45:26,610 --> 01:45:28,390
What's the name? When do we?

945
01:45:31,740 --> 01:45:39,020
I don't want out. I mean, not, not they trying to cover up a lie before she got it out. And another thing they do is

946
01:45:39,020 --> 01:45:44,120
when they cut my water out, when your water gets cut out,

947
01:45:44,380 --> 01:45:47,920
they put a, they put a, lock on.

948
01:45:49,460 --> 01:45:52,440
My meat no have, they didn't put a lock on.

949
01:45:53,060 --> 01:45:54,500
And then they close the right of tongue

950
01:45:54,500 --> 01:45:55,880
as when they cut it out.

951
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:57,500
We see that stuff they would sleep

952
01:45:57,500 --> 01:45:59,540
because they thought I was gonna go back

953
01:45:59,540 --> 01:46:00,580
and mess with my meat.

954
01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:02,760
But I know better than that.

955
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,340
The whole girl let me know what the devil was doing.

956
01:46:05,780 --> 01:46:06,960
Trying to cut up a treat.

957
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:13,400
I'm trying to cover up a trick, but now I'm not touching my needle because God, I really

958
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:16,960
got to eat and work it out the way he wants to work it out.

959
01:46:18,020 --> 01:46:23,940
But like I'm saying, Nimeo, they've done the big lie here, they've big lie here,

960
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:34,940
they've

961
01:46:34,940 --> 01:46:35,180
big lie here.

962
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:38,240
Okay, order, order, order.

963
01:46:38,700 --> 01:46:41,380
But what I'm saying is, it's enough for the know.

964
01:46:41,620 --> 01:46:44,420
They've been running me around, I'm alone, I'm sitting here,

965
01:46:46,900 --> 01:46:48,200
enough is the know, that's

966
01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:48,880
why I'm running.

967
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:55,740
Because I want to help the students, I'm like, I don't want to lie, and don't behind your back and I tell you the truth.

968
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:00,180
They are understanding it

969
01:47:09,820 --> 01:47:11,420
because they're saying about the student.

970
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:13,180
They're saying everything.

971
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,500
The parents are saying them down here.

972
01:47:15,940 --> 01:47:19,660
I mean, students, they have a way of

973
01:47:21,860 --> 01:47:21,980
it.

974
01:47:21,980 --> 01:47:22,920
Talk to them.

975
01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:26,420
Because, you know, you're paying the same thing you're down here to be.

976
01:47:26,420 --> 01:47:28,160
We're saying they're about to know everything.

977
01:47:28,980 --> 01:47:30,560
And it goes to my heart.

978
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:31,180
I'm

979
01:47:39,820 --> 01:47:40,280
children,

980
01:47:43,450 --> 01:47:47,290
children, and you know, you see, you put on the side and let them know.

981
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:02,300
Okay, Miss.

982
01:48:02,540 --> 01:48:03,500
Yes, Miss Barbara.

983
01:48:04,780 --> 01:48:06,360
We're not, we're not at the time.

984
01:48:06,580 --> 01:48:07,560
Yep, you're time.

985
01:48:08,440 --> 01:48:09,340
You have five minutes.

986
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:13,000
You can give you one minute.

987
01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:17,360
Hold on, see that one minute.

988
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:32,760
Okay,

989
01:48:35,290 --> 01:48:35,770
okay.

990
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:41,300
That's right, that's right.

991
01:48:47,230 --> 01:48:49,550
I don't understand why they walk out to me.

992
01:48:49,730 --> 01:48:52,270
I don't understand, I never seen anything like that.

993
01:48:52,270 --> 01:48:59,910
What's wrong with said now and coming to agreement with what the mayor trying to get, you know, he's trying to get a attorney and

994
01:49:00,670 --> 01:49:02,730
Whatever the city need

995
01:49:02,730 --> 01:49:08,700
You know, he's trying to you know come to that to conclusions, but they started. Well, God, why are you walking out?

996
01:49:09,690 --> 01:49:11,150
What are you running from?

997
01:49:12,310 --> 01:49:13,830
It don't make no sense

998
01:49:13,830 --> 01:49:20,070
What are you hiding? It doesn't have to be some that you hiding then you supposed to have a meat

999
01:49:20,070 --> 01:49:23,930
When the weird here, do you have the mean of that watch, I bet you.

1000
01:49:25,910 --> 01:49:29,670
I know where I'm going over that guard's house, and mean nobody.

1001
01:49:30,110 --> 01:49:35,050
We're now confusing. When you supposed to be sitting right here at your station,

1002
01:49:35,830 --> 01:49:37,030
that don't even make no sense.

1003
01:49:39,140 --> 01:49:43,730
It don't make no sense. It's gonna be right here.

1004
01:49:44,250 --> 01:49:48,390
That don't make no sense. You know, if you're in office, do you know?

1005
01:49:48,390 --> 01:49:55,120
I'm going to get some beers in the mouth. I won't correct you. So I can help somebody else.

1006
01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:56,320
Isn't that the back of money?

1007
01:49:58,260 --> 01:50:00,620
Okay, Miss Bob. Thank you.

1008
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:01,440
Yeah, thank you.

1009
01:50:04,110 --> 01:50:06,390
I'll give her a hand for her efforts.

1010
01:50:15,490 --> 01:50:16,770
Good evening, Mayor.

1011
01:50:17,310 --> 01:50:18,370
Hold on, hold on.

1012
01:50:37,870 --> 01:50:38,030
Okay.

1013
01:50:38,030 --> 01:50:40,210
Okay, let's, let's, let's, we have another speaker.

1014
01:50:41,170 --> 01:50:43,310
Ladies and gentlemen, we have another speaker.

1015
01:50:43,790 --> 01:50:45,950
Mayor, Councilman, my pastor.

1016
01:50:47,390 --> 01:50:59,650
all the residents here. My name is David Allen, and I ran for mayor 2016. The form for the

1017
01:50:59,650 --> 01:51:09,230
parties, my office, I'll put it together. I may not be perfect, but notice the party promoters

1018
01:51:09,230 --> 01:51:14,350
said they were following the things that we, with the police, working with them, did.

1019
01:51:14,350 --> 01:51:17,710
you know get the security trash was never an issue

1020
01:51:18,450 --> 01:51:21,930
i mean i know a few party all night you don't have trash but notice

1021
01:51:21,930 --> 01:51:25,870
we put a time on the next day and they beat the time

1022
01:51:25,870 --> 01:51:27,230
by two hours

1023
01:51:27,950 --> 01:51:30,810
so that's again working with you

1024
01:51:32,270 --> 01:51:32,770
uh...

1025
01:51:32,770 --> 01:51:35,310
provost emeritus doctor joanna Thomas Smith

1026
01:51:35,310 --> 01:51:37,670
gave me an award several years ago

1027
01:51:37,670 --> 01:51:43,030
for being the one who recruited the most students to the to the university of part of you

1028
01:51:43,030 --> 01:51:51,350
So, working with President Simmons through most of her term, as well as sitting in council meetings,

1029
01:51:51,630 --> 01:51:56,010
eating on campus two, three days a week, some of your faces look familiar you because of that.

1030
01:51:56,590 --> 01:51:59,610
But that's only because I love my institution.

1031
01:52:00,430 --> 01:52:06,570
Now, I know, Panther Hill is not perfect, but neither of the dormitories on campus.

1032
01:52:08,250 --> 01:52:13,850
okay they they've had leaks we've had young ladies have to jump out of what

1033
01:52:13,850 --> 01:52:19,230
third second third floor behind fires so we know you know unfortunately those

1034
01:52:19,230 --> 01:52:24,630
things happen now should they be fixed absolutely because it's my

1035
01:52:24,630 --> 01:52:28,510
understanding that the people who build a campus housing American campus

1036
01:52:28,510 --> 01:52:34,470
communities they built it with some faults and that's what caused the fire but

1037
01:52:34,470 --> 01:52:36,710
That's when you care enough to dig into it.

1038
01:52:36,710 --> 01:52:40,650
I went up there that night and students are up there

1039
01:52:40,650 --> 01:52:42,990
and the ambulances are coming in all those things matter.

1040
01:52:44,050 --> 01:52:49,510
But when you look at Panther Hill, we had about 700 students in hotels

1041
01:52:49,510 --> 01:52:53,350
up and down to 90 that the university was shutting them back and forth

1042
01:52:53,350 --> 01:52:55,610
that is not the purview experience.

1043
01:52:56,610 --> 01:53:01,550
So they rushed, Panther Hill, I'll give you that, they rushed it, why?

1044
01:53:01,550 --> 01:53:08,070
Because students and parents and some coaches came to them and said, Hey, we need this.

1045
01:53:08,210 --> 01:53:12,830
So they doubled up, made some mistakes. Yes, but they put a lot of roofs.

1046
01:53:13,770 --> 01:53:16,330
1,400 roofs that we didn't have.

1047
01:53:17,970 --> 01:53:19,490
It was in low level.

1048
01:53:20,130 --> 01:53:21,550
It was not in a floodplain.

1049
01:53:22,170 --> 01:53:27,730
The only female floodplain in the city of Peruvius along Ruby Road on our eastern border.

1050
01:53:27,730 --> 01:53:39,790
And I know that because I took the city through recovery for Hurricane Harvey, and a lot of students were working with me in going checking on our seniors to live in water things like that.

1051
01:53:40,150 --> 01:53:49,710
Was it low level? Yes. Does it generate a lot of taxes? Yes. That's how we went from six purview police officers.

1052
01:53:49,710 --> 01:53:56,050
To where we got now chief 13 we got 13 we more than doubled it

1053
01:53:56,690 --> 01:54:03,330
So it's helping with as you say having police to walk around because your safety is a party

1054
01:54:03,990 --> 01:54:15,810
The reason why we put that sheet together and I'm proud to say in here how the promoters have been you know working with and following those things is because we were having shooting desps at field parties

1055
01:54:17,130 --> 01:54:18,910
You haven't had that

1056
01:54:19,830 --> 01:54:22,330
trash would been great for me.

1057
01:54:22,690 --> 01:54:28,650
We had some desks, but we checked it, we stopped it, we checked down on folks coming in, you

1058
01:54:28,650 --> 01:54:33,290
know, because it was mostly from out of area folks, it wasn't our students that was creating

1059
01:54:33,290 --> 01:54:34,790
that and we found that out.

1060
01:54:35,110 --> 01:54:41,710
Even if it was Russian drug dealers up in Brookside from Los Angeles, and we confirmed with

1061
01:54:41,710 --> 01:54:46,150
our police that that's who it was and that was a shooting death, but all those things

1062
01:54:46,150 --> 01:54:52,790
stopped and I want to come in y'all and especially the party promoters. I know I work with

1063
01:54:52,790 --> 01:54:58,650
the yeah this this all the way I definitely remember from back in those days but we didn't have

1064
01:54:58,650 --> 01:55:06,550
problems and I don't think you have problems now that can't be worked out trash I got trash in my

1065
01:55:06,550 --> 01:55:14,270
yard sometimes you know so we'll get we can get through that but when you look at the shelf station

1066
01:55:14,270 --> 01:55:26,210
The Czechers Restaurant, Fountain Hill, Panther Hill, the Gates, that's what's bringing us revenue, and that's the kind of stuff that was brought in under my administration.

1067
01:55:26,670 --> 01:55:30,630
Was it easy? No. Was Council always cooperative? Hell no.

1068
01:55:31,570 --> 01:55:41,830
But did it happen? Yes. Because our students needed better places to stay because they'd reached a point where the university was literally kicking up a classman off campus.

1069
01:55:41,830 --> 01:55:47,180
And you got to go fin for yourself. You're old enough now. Well, you got to give them a place to come to

1070
01:55:47,870 --> 01:55:50,990
And that's what we have in the city now this

1071
01:55:51,990 --> 01:55:56,630
Council and mayor wasn't in office during that time and

1072
01:55:56,630 --> 01:55:58,800
As they said, they just been here about eight months

1073
01:56:00,010 --> 01:56:03,580
God Mr. Perry be going on for two years next month

1074
01:56:04,930 --> 01:56:05,430
but

1075
01:56:05,430 --> 01:56:08,740
there are issues that we could have had

1076
01:56:08,740 --> 01:56:15,820
but we didn't have them. We have to work together because this side didn't always

1077
01:56:15,820 --> 01:56:22,440
right. The ones who walk out on always right. But we got that going on in Washington D.C.

1078
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:27,400
The whole Democratic Party went to Washington D.C. because Republicans were

1079
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:35,400
at the stupid. But those things we have to work together and work on and there's no

1080
01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:41,980
and why we can't do it. I agree with the folks who said we need to give you a venue and that's

1081
01:56:41,980 --> 01:56:48,640
exactly the kind of thing we need to continue working on because every one of those establishments

1082
01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:57,920
were brought in as councilman Jackson and councilman on all ugly raw land. Now it's a bigger

1083
01:56:57,920 --> 01:57:03,360
given place to stay generating money for taxes so we can help keep you all safe. That's what it's

1084
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:09,060
out. Working together, the emo use that the city now has with the university, whether it's

1085
01:57:09,060 --> 01:57:14,800
the College of Agriculture, the Vice President of Operations, we've got those things. I

1086
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:20,680
can show you a bunch of pictures working with President Simmons. And it was a pleasure. And

1087
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:26,000
I'm so glad to see she went on, but I'm also glad for you seniors that she's coming back

1088
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:33,340
to sign your diploma degrees and see you across that stage. Because what Texas A&M did wasn't

1089
01:57:33,340 --> 01:57:39,100
right and we're not done. We got a meeting on Saturday at the Houston Alumni meeting with

1090
01:57:39,100 --> 01:57:43,960
the National Alumni to talk about the meeting with the Chancellor. What came from the meeting

1091
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:48,140
and what's going on happen? Because we'll need you to meet to be meeting. We need to get something

1092
01:57:48,140 --> 01:57:57,100
done. And Anne M has been treating purview right for a very long time. Like since it started in

1093
01:57:57,900 --> 01:58:03,320
1876 and we're going to fix that and working with administration that's what that's all about.

1094
01:58:03,340 --> 01:58:07,460
working with our students, y'all are used part. This is a college town.

1095
01:58:08,060 --> 01:58:11,320
This is a college town when I came here. Do we have parties? Yes.

1096
01:58:12,460 --> 01:58:16,540
And y'all need to be able to have those same things in the control environment

1097
01:58:16,540 --> 01:58:21,240
that y'all are having them, and we'll work together on getting the cleaned up the next day.

1098
01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:22,980
Thankfully, that's all we do.

1099
01:58:25,090 --> 01:58:25,590
Yes, sir.

1100
01:58:28,900 --> 01:58:33,500
I created the forum for the parties, so we can work together and have some guidelines.

1101
01:58:34,240 --> 01:58:35,320
Yeah, I'm for the parties.

1102
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:46,640
I'm telling you we have parties in my day, absolutely, y'all need things to do place to go and they clamped up so tight on campus, you have to be able to do something out here.

1103
01:58:46,980 --> 01:58:52,400
That's not fair to you. Those are the kinds of things tightened up on campus like that.

1104
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:58,660
The chief, I'm sure he's a good man, I'm sure he's well-meaning, but the tickets I've been here in Susan's being getting on campus are ridiculous.

1105
01:59:01,830 --> 01:59:02,570
That's ridiculous!

1106
01:59:02,570 --> 01:59:03,530
I

1107
01:59:09,480 --> 01:59:16,650
won't stop. I won't stop. I won't stop. I'm sorry, just my time is up.

1108
01:59:28,510 --> 01:59:32,090
You know,

1109
01:59:44,140 --> 01:59:44,880
I have no one here.

1110
01:59:53,030 --> 01:59:53,770
Hey,

1111
01:59:56,130 --> 01:59:58,520
hey, give him. Give him. Give him. Give him.

1112
02:00:00,940 --> 02:00:30,840
We thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Alley. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Alley. Thank you. And again, before you go, you are well, Kair, you don't go next? Yeah, yeah, before you go, Kair, this is what I wanted to say to you. This is what I wanted to say to you. Please understand this and listen what I'm saying. Again, I said it at the beginning when I spoke.

1113
02:00:30,940 --> 02:00:36,900
keep your grass cut, keep your grass cut because folks will slither around you and make you believe

1114
02:00:36,900 --> 02:00:42,980
of the stuff. Now I'm not saying that folks are friends and associate with one another but what I am saying

1115
02:00:42,980 --> 02:00:48,200
is this. I can get up here and talk about issues that relate to y'all as far. Oh, I was working with

1116
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:52,120
them to help the students do this. Oh, I was working with them to help the students do that but when you

1117
02:00:52,120 --> 02:00:56,960
had Joe time to actually do some, when did you do? When did you do? Why should we believe you?

1118
02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:59,200
Now, why should we trust you now when you had an opportunity?

1119
02:00:59,780 --> 02:01:01,320
Don't let me get up here and say,

1120
02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:02,780
oh, I know about the parties, man,

1121
02:01:02,780 --> 02:01:03,060
you know what?

1122
02:01:03,060 --> 02:01:05,000
Do a party last week, just so you can relate to me

1123
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:07,240
on the parties, then I bad do it here.

1124
02:01:07,340 --> 02:01:09,720
Then I come through and make her law against you,

1125
02:01:09,780 --> 02:01:10,800
create something against you,

1126
02:01:10,840 --> 02:01:12,360
because that's all that's happening right here.

1127
02:01:12,420 --> 02:01:13,580
Everybody wanna get up here

1128
02:01:13,580 --> 02:01:16,020
and get in your face and then dance and pour a tray

1129
02:01:16,020 --> 02:01:17,720
and act like they know what they're talking about.

1130
02:01:17,820 --> 02:01:18,460
It's manipulation.

1131
02:01:20,020 --> 02:01:23,060
I mean, they hear that long, so they can get you vote.

1132
02:01:23,320 --> 02:01:25,820
If they really was concerned, they should have did

1133
02:01:25,820 --> 02:01:29,000
They were saying they was going to do it in the first place. I wouldn't have put

1134
02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:33,600
Appointments in low line areas and didn't say oh, we was just trying to get roof

1135
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:36,620
You know, I'm not going to put you in the ghetto just cuz I want roof tops

1136
02:01:36,620 --> 02:01:39,540
I'm not going to make you live bad just cuz I want roof tops

1137
02:01:39,540 --> 02:01:45,980
I'm not going to have you live in flooded areas and bad plumbing just cuz I want roof top and if we was really trying to generate taxes

1138
02:01:45,980 --> 02:01:52,720
We would put businesses here we would put multiple businesses here. We would put equitable businesses here, but instead we put

1139
02:01:52,720 --> 02:02:00,240
But badly constructed, badly constructed, apartment complexes that don't even get resolved

1140
02:02:00,240 --> 02:02:01,780
until five years later.

1141
02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:03,180
Now understand this.

1142
02:02:03,180 --> 02:02:05,920
Some of these people that did this, they in the room now.

1143
02:02:06,100 --> 02:02:07,400
They don't want us to create it in March.

1144
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:11,600
You've got folks that have been on this council for six, seven, eight years that haven't

1145
02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:12,280
done nothing.

1146
02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:30,400
I did. I just will sing the tape you.

1147
02:02:32,730 --> 02:02:33,390
You said that

1148
02:02:38,560 --> 02:02:39,120
Yeah.

1149
02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:43,940
I'll give you one of my-

1150
02:02:43,940 --> 02:02:44,800
Did you hit my mic?

1151
02:02:45,340 --> 02:02:47,940
You're your Mic we'll pull this

1152
02:02:47,940 --> 02:02:50,180
You're the mainwebs, they only believe women in the truck

1153
02:02:50,180 --> 02:02:51,180
Because we will expect nothing

1154
02:02:51,820 --> 02:02:54,340
What you're gonna do about it?

1155
02:02:54,680 --> 02:02:56,440
Valleyy, we'll do our history in life

1156
02:03:02,200 --> 02:03:03,300
But we're delighted

1157
02:03:56,900 --> 02:03:57,880
Do

1158
02:04:10,070 --> 02:04:14,510
I need it?

1159
02:04:14,650 --> 02:04:17,650
önce you wrote d autor

1160
02:04:31,080 --> 02:04:34,900
Just a point of affirmation for the crowd and I see y'all with your hands up

1161
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:17,800
I see y'all with your hands up and understand this we were supposed to have a city council meeting the night when she chose not to come

1162
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:20,900
But she's here now because she sees all y'all in here

1163
02:05:21,400 --> 02:05:22,820
So she's here now

1164
02:05:32,450 --> 02:05:36,030
Okay, Mr. Mayor Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor

1165
02:05:37,630 --> 02:05:42,970
If Miss Williams, if you want to just speak, he will come to the microphone, she will come to the microphone,

1166
02:05:49,050 --> 02:05:50,310
go back and double check.

1167
02:05:50,910 --> 02:05:52,450
Please go double check.

1168
02:05:55,670 --> 02:05:57,950
I'm going to let y'all ask any questions before she run.

1169
02:05:58,190 --> 02:05:59,870
I'm going to let y'all ask any questions.

1170
02:06:00,170 --> 02:06:01,030
But understand this.

1171
02:06:01,810 --> 02:06:02,110
Hey.

1172
02:06:02,450 --> 02:06:04,570
I understand this.

1173
02:06:04,810 --> 02:06:07,990
When she makes comments to say, we tried to hire unqualified people.

1174
02:06:08,170 --> 02:06:12,150
She made that on the news prior to us even having the job open.

1175
02:06:12,150 --> 02:06:19,130
The attorney, we still have the job, and she got on the news and said hello, we trying to hire unqualified people.

1176
02:06:19,370 --> 02:06:22,690
So remember, she's been here for six or eight years.

1177
02:06:24,470 --> 02:06:27,970
Hey, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, this is my question.

1178
02:06:28,350 --> 02:06:31,850
Since we're talking about qualifications, right? All of us go to all of us.

1179
02:06:32,990 --> 02:06:34,910
Most of us are in school, right?

1180
02:06:35,330 --> 02:06:36,170
No, we're talking about qualifications.

1181
02:06:37,250 --> 02:06:42,360
I'm going to a job where I'm replacing somebody who was there for years

1182
02:06:43,490 --> 02:06:49,590
Who is less qualified to me because I have the education I have the knowledge

1183
02:06:49,590 --> 02:06:53,830
So you can't say nobody is not qualified because they've never held their position

1184
02:06:53,830 --> 02:06:55,490
Excuse me because

1185
02:06:55,490 --> 02:07:02,770
No excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Order. Order. Order. Okay. They know about not qualified because again

1186
02:07:02,770 --> 02:07:10,030
It's stuff that's been going on super ma'am. I've been in the purview since the thousands will you cannot say that

1187
02:07:10,030 --> 02:07:13,620
I'm telling you I've been in the purview since 2012 and nothing has changed

1188
02:07:16,890 --> 02:07:18,840
Hey, nothing has changed

1189
02:07:21,590 --> 02:07:23,230
Hey, I've been

1190
02:07:23,870 --> 02:07:24,450
I've

1191
02:07:27,140 --> 02:07:30,320
been and I do vote too. I do vote

1192
02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:04,640
Thank

1193
02:08:14,020 --> 02:08:14,500
you.

1194
02:08:14,500 --> 02:08:15,720
They call it for impeachment.

1195
02:08:19,820 --> 02:08:20,940
They call it for impeachment.

1196
02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:46,400
Hey, that is you.

1197
02:08:46,880 --> 02:08:47,660
We need respect.

1198
02:08:48,180 --> 02:08:49,540
Hey, that's the issue.

1199
02:08:50,300 --> 02:08:51,260
We need respect.

1200
02:08:51,580 --> 02:08:52,180
Yeah, I'll end it.

1201
02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:55,100
All right.
