[1:39] Thank you very much, and at this time, I will open citizens' panel.
[1:43] We need counsel here to pray and I'm going to talk about God to our little bad afterwards.
[1:51] Father, thank you for this life that you have given us, this country and what you have placed us.
[1:58] This is a wonderful, wonderful country. You have
[2:03] said it in motion and have sustained us for these 250 almost years. Thank you that we are here.
[2:11] And in this community which we love,
[2:14] Pray, Father, as this Council tonight meets and makes decisions, I pray they might be wise,
[2:22] would make decisions that would work through the prosperity of this community.
[2:26] Prius folks may come and address them that they'll be respectful,
[2:31] but wise decisions would be made as we come soon to a local election, national election as well.
[2:38] I pray that you would guide those who vote.
[2:42] They would be wise that the decisions that would be made, the people elected, the propositions
[2:50] and measures, you would work to the betterment of our community and of our country.
[2:55] All of this I ask Father in Jesus' name, amen.
[3:01] I'm thinking a lot, working a lot on some things related to the Fatherhood of God and as I
[3:08] have done this over many years. I realize that there are a lot of things that are misunderstood
[3:15] about the fatherhood of God. If you talk to a lot of people, it's pretty much understood
[3:22] that God is everybody's father. God doesn't think that. God has a clear demarcation. He talks
[3:32] talks about us before I was saved. I was one of many millions of people that our children
[3:39] of wrath deserving God's wrath because of my sin. And even now there are millions of
[3:47] people that have been enemies of God and they are not God's child. People that have come
[3:55] to faith in Jesus. God has brought them, adopted them into his family.
[4:03] Look in the Old Testament,
[4:04] God's Fatherhood is basically of the nation of Israel, not of individual people. He's called
[4:11] the Father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but it's not until Jesus came as a child that the individual
[4:20] fatherhood of God was much understood. And as I see people understanding as they do come to faith
[4:28] in Jesus and understand the fatherhood of God, it is something that needs to be clear, needs
[4:35] to be understood. And I think as time goes by I'll spend some more time talking about that.
[4:41] In the meantime, I would say it is a blessing to be in this community. It's a blessing as well to
[4:48] I know that Thursday is the national day of prayer.
[4:52] It'll be held at the historic courthouse
[4:55] at 7 a.m.
[4:56] Courage you to be there.
[4:59] Thank you.
[4:59] You're welcome.
[5:02] Thank you, Scott.
[5:04] I'll be there Thursday morning.
[5:05] The evening honorable mayor,
[5:07] members of the city council, my name is Kim again.
[5:10] I'm here to read the word of God
[5:12] because our national motto remains in God we trust.
[5:17] That's just got talked about God the Father this evening.
[5:19] The Word of God speaks about God the Son who is Jesus Christ.
[5:24] There's also God the Holy Spirit.
[5:25] They are three in one.
[5:28] Listen to John the first chapter.
[5:31] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[5:36] He was in the beginning with God.
[5:40] All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him, nothing came in to be it.
[5:46] That is coming to being. In him was life and the life was the light of men. The light
[5:53] shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it. There came a man sent
[5:58] from John, from God, all the name was John. He came as a witness to testify about the
[6:05] light so that all might believe in him. He was not the light, but he came to testify about
[6:14] the light. There was the true light which coming into the world and lightens every man. He was in the
[6:20] world and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him. He came to his own and
[6:26] those who were his own did not receive him. But as many as received him, to them he gave the right
[6:34] to become children of God, even to those who believe in his name, who were born not a blood nor
[6:41] the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God. And the word became flesh and wealth
[6:49] among us, and we saw his glory. Glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace
[6:56] and truth. John testified about him and cried out saying, this was he of whom I said, he who comes
[7:03] after me has a higher rank than I for he existed before me. Or of his fullness we have all received
[7:10] and grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth were realized through
[7:18] Jesus Christ. It was just a few seconds after speaking about heavenly things and bringing it back
[7:25] down to what we're doing here. I'm a member of the committee that has put a measure of S on the
[7:32] ballot. And we're doing well. But we have about a month or so to encourage people to vote yes
[7:39] on S and we reduced it just by saying yes on S and of course that's our
[7:47] street smart committee and that's our fixing our streets citizen initiative
[7:52] and we think it's going to work so please vote yes a lot of yes thank you anyone
[8:00] What else?
[8:07] Well, my name is David Burke.
[8:09] I'm up here as the member of Once Heat at a Time.
[8:15] As the fake hunter, I want to get a big shout out to the public works at Rig Lora.
[8:20] I think you got the name right.
[8:23] Oh, we had the privilege.
[8:24] And I say it's a privilege to work on a project at Pat Navigation Center last Tuesday.
[8:30] It's been in the planning for a few years and we were able to assist in plant 59 fruit
[8:36] trees.
[8:38] It was a really accumulation, but if I don't get the phrases exactly right, many people
[8:44] gold key helping loan the pickup truck was my batteries for dead on my truck.
[8:52] 360 haulers was a trail for bringing a load. Of course, Scott Miller and Tom
[8:59] were saying before that you guys could donate the widgets instead of having it
[9:06] from the yard out there. It's the yard to be used. The path outreach and these are
[9:14] the guys that go out there and clean up the encampments, pull out the needles and
[9:18] stuff. They were there to do something instead of fun. It's a tractor. Of course,
[9:26] Priscilla for reaching out and saying yes, we're the idea even though it seemed like it was
[9:33] a hard one for Dave Wilson Nursery for Donate the Fruit Trees. We're for Windrowage for Donate
[9:39] in the Lemon Trees. Going through here the conversation, I remember earlier this year that Mr.
[9:47] For Clement, it mentioned that people were stealing food at railings, well hopefully by doing
[9:52] something like this, we lessen the reason for people to go in there and steal when it comes
[9:58] to food.
[10:00] And it just was amazing, and we're looking forward to going back again, we're so grateful
[10:06] that path said yes.
[10:08] We're in a more place to say yes.
[10:10] Thank you very much.
[10:11] Thank you.
[10:13] Anyone else?
[10:17] and seeing nobody coming up, any hands raised?
[10:20] No.
[10:21] None.
[10:21] Thank you.
[10:22] We'll close for a comment at 540.
[10:30] Announcements of agenda corrections 40.

[12:30] Chief Dr. Meier?
[12:31] Honorable member of the Council received the email this morning talking as from predictive
[12:37] services for fire season outlooks, going in in June July and August.
[12:44] It appears that we're going to be dried possibly more or more warmer than normal, as I'm
[12:49] theystem who makes surprises here in verein Kimchi right, that's a good reminder that by June
[12:53] First, we've given all the notices to everybody
[12:57] to have their lead evaporation completed.
[13:00] We will start our inspections of the city
[13:02] and start the co-enforcement process
[13:04] of the lead evaporation ordinance, come June 1st.
[13:09] Then that also leads into even though we've had cooler
[13:11] weather in a little bit of rain through the weekend.
[13:14] We responded today along with Calvire
[13:17] to a reported vegetation fire on the freeway
[13:20] ended up being in the area of Wilcox
[13:23] in which two separate fires were located.
[13:26] Thanks to some of the passers-by's, the callers for 9-1-1,
[13:29] they had a good suspect description.
[13:32] Thanks to the help from Robo PD, Cal Fire,
[13:35] that suspect was located and was arrested
[13:38] in charge of our sub-arrest.
[13:41] Thank you, Chief.
[13:42] A lot.
[13:43] Thank you very much.
[13:44] Yes, Paulianne, please.
[13:46] Nothing for our finance today.
[13:47] Thank you.
[13:48] Chief.
[13:49] Thank you all. We're mayor and council members.
[13:52] tomorrow at 7 p.m. which was Wednesday, May 6th at the high point assembly located at 6.25
[13:59] in the road. We have the 32nd annual team accounting peace officers memorial ceremony. They share
[14:06] they'll be remembering and honoring 12 officers who died in the line of duty in the state of California.
[14:13] So if you're available and if the public is available at 7 p.m. at the high point assembly tomorrow
[14:17] over Wednesday, May 6th. And the same thing that I have is a shout out to
[14:23] Revlect Police Department personnel who worked continuously for several
[14:28] months to investigate and then ultimately today arrest the suspect for a murder
[14:36] we had here in town. And also this week we made two arrests for another murder. So
[14:42] I just wanted to say and congratulate our personnel for the long hours that they
[14:47] put in to accommodate that arrest for both cases.
[14:50] It's long hours, a lot of hard work,
[14:53] and we appreciate what they're doing for us.
[14:55] All right, thank you, Chief.
[14:58] Public works, Scott.
[14:59] you
[15:00] Thank you all mayor, members of council. Normally, I'd like to add a little bit something from the public works activities list as provided on page 21 in the agenda packet. But I'd really like to call out one of the items. So I'm an actual couple of the items. Our water department, this last week, has really done its regular service out for the citizens of the community. They can replace a 3-valve assembly, which were an inch water mains. And I'll culminate it all together so that it develops from together.
[15:28] It's a complex spot in front of the new courthouse area.
[15:32] They were able to get that.
[15:33] Get all the parts already pre-prepped,
[15:35] get it cut out, dropped in and reestablished
[15:38] and services without any issues.
[15:40] So, hard work on their department for doing that.
[15:42] Which also came off of the next day was
[15:44] a assisting with a cut-in that would remain
[15:47] in a key section of the water main,
[15:49] where the palm goes project.
[15:50] The most likely, the other late days of water shut-offs
[15:53] that turn off the shut-off.
[15:55] So, I just really command and call it for water management.
[15:57] I'm going to put out here, so I think it's a spot for you here.
[16:00] It's great.
[16:01] It's great, great work that they did.
[16:04] Thank you, Scott.
[16:05] Yeah, tell them.
[16:06] Thank you.
[16:07] Good job.
[16:07] Thank you.
[16:08] It's appreciated.
[16:11] Commission's report.
[16:11] We have none.
[16:12] Presentations.
[16:13] We have none.
[16:14] That would ask God.
[16:15] No, council.
[16:15] Is there any conflict of interest with any of the audience on the agenda?
[16:19] No.
[16:20] No.
[16:21] Okay.
[16:21] Thank you very much.
[16:23] We'll go on to the consent agenda.
[16:24] I just remind everyone including the audience that if you have something on the
[16:29] Consent agenda that you would like to hold and have discussed during the regular agenda items,
[16:34] please let us know. And I will ask you at this time anybody be audience. I haven't seen
[16:40] nobody. We will go on up to Council and any items that Council would like to have removed.
[16:47] then I would ask that I would go to the consent agenda number one city council regular means close session April 7 same meetings for April 21 public works activity month activity summary out April and also number 4, which is the ordinance of the Rev. City council amended section 25.239 and 25.197 of the municipal code.
[17:17] regarding accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, ensuring consistency with the state law.
[17:25] I would ask you for a motion.
[17:29] A motion.
[17:30] A motion by Mark Permanent.
[17:32] Second.
[17:35] Second.
[17:37] By Pat Permanent.
[17:38] I need a procedural.
[17:40] Councilmember Pope.
[17:41] Yes.
[17:41] Councilmember Permanent.
[17:42] Yes.
[17:43] Councilmember Peters.
[17:44] Yes.
[17:46] Mayor Permanent.
[17:47] Yes.
[17:47] Yes.
[17:49] Thank you, Council.
[17:51] We'll go on to our regular agenda, which goes to number five.
[17:55] And that is that ordinance adding section 2.8 public works request to chapter two.
[18:03] Administration, Article 1, General Provisions of the Red Blood Municipal Code, establishing
[18:09] procedure for public records, requests, and appointing the deputy city clerk as a public records
[18:15] the council members to contact
[18:15] the coordinator that.
[18:18] Meeting of the mayor tonight's
[18:20] item is an ordinance to the
[18:21] final line for the city's
[18:22] procedures for public records
[18:24] for us and does ignite a public
[18:26] record's coordinator.
[18:27] Well the city does currently
[18:29] comply with the drastically
[18:30] public records fact we did not
[18:32] have a process this ordinance
[18:34] adds section 2 point eight to
[18:36] establish clear procedures for
[18:38] response timelines and consistent handling of requests.
[18:41] It is procedural only and does not change public access rights.
[18:47] The designation of the deputy city clerk as a public records coordinator to streamline
[18:52] request citywide and will confirm that any fees are limited to direct duplication costs
[18:59] and free record inspection we still see as there is no fiscal impact and this item is not
[19:06] subject to the sequins. The recommended actions tonight is to introduce the first reading at
[19:12] ordinance number 1095 and conductive public hearing and at section 2.8 to chapter 2 of the
[19:19] Revival of Municipal Code establishing procedures for responding the public records requests
[19:24] and appointing the deputy city clerk at the native public records coordinator and I'm available
[19:29] for any additional questions. Thank you. What I'm going to do for questions, I'm going to open
[19:36] in the public hearing at this time at 5.49.
[19:40] And is there any questions for Beth
[19:42] from the public at this time?
[19:43] I'm
[19:48] gonna receive none.
[19:49] We'll close public hearing then, 5.50.
[19:53] So therefore, Council, do we have any questions
[19:56] for Beth on this?
[19:58] I know.
[20:02] Okay, no.
[20:04] Okay, so we've had the public hearing.
[20:09] So now we have a, do we need to do this separately, Mayor?
[20:15] Excuse me.
[20:16] Council.
[20:17] No.
[20:17] From the mayor.
[20:18] I forgot.
[20:21] We can do them together.
[20:23] You can do this better.
[20:25] Did you do the public.
[20:26] Yes, we did.
[20:27] Did you.
[20:28] We could open for.
[20:29] I mean, yes.
[20:31] Yeah.
[20:32] I think it's.
[20:33] That's number one.
[20:34] So, do we have motion then.
[20:39] Or.
[20:41] Number two on the recommended action on.
[20:44] I don't know.
[20:44] number five.
[20:49] Make a motion. Motion by Pat Hurtin. Second by Cassie
[20:57] Pope.
[21:00] Any
[21:01] hence I need that we got to ask. No hands are raised. No hands are raised. Very
[21:04] good. All right. First and second. I need to appreciate the role. Councilmember Pope.
[21:09] Yes. Councilmember Hurtin. Yes. Councilmember Dider. Yes. Mayor Patten Cunnet. Yes.
[21:15] Mayor Gonzalo. Yes. Motion passes unanimously. We'll go on to section number six which
[21:21] which is military equipment annual report 2025.
[21:25] I would recommend the action that City Council
[21:26] of Whole Public Hearing approve an military equipment
[21:29] and a report of 2025.
[21:31] I know that's moving.
[21:34] Maria, please.
[21:45] Similarly bill
[21:48] outlines that military equipment requires
[21:51] law enforcement agencies to utilize military equipment,
[21:54] who utilize military equipment to prepare
[21:56] and annual report to the governing body each year.
[22:00] For 2025,
[22:01] We have filed such report, and I believe they are attached in your packet.
[22:11] And if the one thing that I do want to outline is the use of any of the equipment that we
[22:18] have for 2025, we were utilizing it in a SWAT callout in Laverra Catwood used in the
[22:26] the summer of 2025, and then also a category nine,
[22:29] which is, we purchased some sound suppressors
[22:33] for rifles, available if you guys have any
[22:37] comments or questions regarding any of the military equipment.
[22:40] Henry, thank you.
[22:41] How's it going to have any questions?
[22:43] I don't know if you have any of your team.
[22:48] Yeah, you're late.
[22:49] No, if we were going to solve it.
[22:52] If you approve the circle.
[22:54] If you'd like to ask, go ahead and wait a minute.
[22:59] Any questions for the public?
[23:03] We haven't seen none or it comes.
[23:05] Do we have a motion then to vote?
[23:08] I've got to conduct a public hearing.
[23:10] So I'll open a public hearing.
[23:11] Add five, fifty, three.
[23:19] I'll have to wait one minute.
[23:20] Is that correct?
[23:21] I'll put it in a minute.
[23:23] Okay.
[23:26] Okay.
[23:26] It would have a story by the chair.
[23:33] The question for you, how is the police department
[23:37] very competitive from the equipment that has been given to us?
[23:41] Yeah, so the equipment that was actually utilized
[23:42] is not really by the chair's department,
[23:45] but we have to report on the equipment
[23:47] because we utilize it some fashion.
[23:49] So it's a joint task between us and them?
[23:52] Yeah, it's a regional asset.
[23:53] It's a regional asset.
[23:55] Thank you.
[23:55] I appreciate it.
[23:56] I've been, I thought, honestly myself,
[23:57] I thought that we had separate entities where we kept our own equipment and they kept our own equipment for now.
[24:04] Okay, very good. I appreciate them. All right. So I think yes.
[24:08] I do not want to question what serious suppressors are we planning to use it?
[24:13] We purchased the OSS suppressors. They're being recently changed to Hubswarks.
[24:19] They're for 5, 5, 6 right both.
[24:22] Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions?
[24:25] I'll close up like hearing at 5.54 so okay do we have motion then to approve the military
[24:35] public report of 2025? I want to motion by Mark Clement second second second Pat Hurton
[24:45] meet at any hands. No hands. No hands. I need to please call the roll.
[24:50] Councilmember Pope. Yes. Councilmember Hurton. Yes. Councilmember Gaiters. Yes. May I put

[27:23] All right, thank you.
[27:24] All right, 25, 26, why do you have big by Paul Young,
[27:30] our finance director, Paul, please.
[27:32] Thank you, Honorable Mayor, members of the city council.
[27:34] Tonight, we have the budget of the date for the current
[27:37] and part of the school year.
[27:38] It's the new moment to Shumlinston.
[27:56] So in today's live event, we have to go first
[27:59] over to the general fund.
[28:00] I'm going to talk about the current events
[28:02] and have an annual presentation on the streets
[28:04] and enterprise funds.
[28:07] So the prior fiscal year, there's a little dispute, slide has a lot of variance, I'm going
[28:15] to go over in the next slide, but if you want to read them, they're available on this
[28:19] one.
[28:25] On the slide, we have the prior fiscal year, General Funds Overview.
[28:30] In the first column, we have it start out with the original budget.
[28:34] On the top line is the general revenues, these are revenues that counts as due to the question.
[28:40] Underneath, we have the net cost of different functions of the general fund.
[28:46] These include revenues such as grants and fees that relate to those programs.
[28:51] And then at the bottom we have a change in funding balance.
[28:55] This is essentially presented as where your general revenues are paying for in the government.
[29:03] And the next column is the supplemental appropriations about the year.
[29:09] There were 938,604 supplemental appropriations.
[29:15] There's an initial slide later with the details.
[29:19] And that increased the final budget to a final budget of a reduction of about $5.1 million.
[29:27] dollars. At the end we ended up with the actuals coming in and the reduction of $1,100,5,627
[29:41] due to the positive variances, which are already in the final column. So the general revenues had a
[29:49] positive variance of $652,000. This was mostly due to the fair market adjustments, but there is an
[29:56] additional slide on all the different.
[30:00] The general government administration saw a positive variance of $101,000. This is due to a lot of things, including
[30:11] engineering fees were about 39,000 more than budgeted.
[30:19] We also had $195,000 of the roof project that was postponed to next year.
[30:26] $150,000 of architectural services was also postponed.
[30:31] There was 123,000 in the salary savings for that year in the general government.
[30:37] We had the $75,000 of indigenous software that was focused on our next fiscal years and
[30:45] 68,000 less of transversal.
[30:48] The fire department saw a cost variance of $950,000, $3,000, this comes from $776,000 of fire
[30:58] reimbursement revenues and a positive net change in salary savings of $199,000.
[31:07] The police department saw a cost of variance about $143 million.
[31:12] This was entirely due to staff turnover in vacant positions.
[31:17] Parts and reps saw a cost of variance of $109,000, $7,000.
[31:22] This was due to $88,000 of strong sales and classes and programs, and also $77,000 of salary
[31:30] savings.
[31:32] And then also the community center came in $65,000 less than expected, mostly due to
[31:40] gap improvements.
[31:44] The next line has details, both supplemental appropriations for a year, and haven't changed
[31:49] from the last agenda item I've presented.
[31:52] The largest thing on there is this in your whole re-roof project.
[32:00] Next line has details of all our general revenues, but first to call on our budget, we don't
[32:06] change re-budget revenues then is the actuals that came in throughout the year and the final
[32:13] problem is the variance. So we did see positive growth in sales tax, property tax,
[32:18] one of the equal licensing fees and franchise tax. Occupancy and business licensing went down a
[32:25] little bit. Public benefit was $214,000 less than what we budgeted. At that point when we budgeted
[32:33] we have not had all of our businesses fully active.
[32:39] So at this point, we have a better understanding
[32:41] of what the revenues will be like going forward.
[32:44] And lastly, is other revenues,
[32:46] which includes any fair market and investments
[32:49] of our investments.
[32:51] We saw a large parts of the variance of $500
[32:55] or $571,000 both from those adjustments
[32:58] and additional interest income.
[33:01] This
[33:07] is where it shows estimated actuals just a bunch of expenditures at this point except for adjustments named for major known savings.
[33:21] Layoffs staying as last on the top, we have general revenues. At this point, we only have a variance of 6,278.
[33:31] These variances come from the estimates, from HTML projections, for sales tax, property tax, and word of equal essences.
[33:39] The rest of the government has a positive variance of 1.5.
[33:45] This is due to salary savings, additional fire revenues and some other projects.
[33:50] There's an additional slide later that shows all the details.
[33:55] The original budget started out with a change hit fund balance of the negative $4.9 million.
[34:02] dollars. We've had supplemental appropriations about here of $100,000 and final budget of $5 million.
[34:10] And our estimated actual currently is $3.5 million. This is a conservative investment. We
[34:23] will likely see additional savings as we enter the end of the year.
[34:31] General appropriations for
[34:32] about the year. I'm not changed since the last presentation I gave. So I'm just going
[34:38] to go on to the next one. This is a detailed of all the changes in the estimated
[34:46] actuals that have been our estimate. We will understand legal fees by $15,000. Capital
[34:56] improvement is rolling over to the next fiscal year of $150,000 per general government.
[35:02] FIRE revenues are about $315,000 over what is going to be budgeted more than half of
[35:13] that is related to your FIRE reimbursement revenues that we got in this fiscal year.
[35:18] We also are rejecting a salary savings for the first three quarters of $95,000 for FIRE
[35:24] department. And in the police, the updated for our third quarter estimate were $320,000
[35:34] for sale resettings.
[35:42] The next slide has the details of the general
[35:44] department revenues. These all come from projections for each EL. They are pretty
[35:51] bearish on our sales tax right now, but we do have positive estimates for property tax
[35:58] and were equalized to the cities that have all set back.
[36:06] Those slides have been previously given to the United City Council
[36:11] through the sales tax update and the property tax updates,
[36:15] the agenda items, our dates are all on this slide.
[36:19] If you care to look at the prior estimates,
[36:26] all that information together in the four-year comparison
[36:30] are talked to everyone from revenues.
[36:32] and fiscal year of $22.23. They were at $12.2 million. In the next fiscal year, they increased to $14.4 million.
[36:44] They went down slightly in the next year to approximately $14.2 million. And our estimated actuals are sitting at $13.4 million right now.
[36:56] On bottom, our net costs due to cost of living and inflation, closing costs have been increasing
[37:07] over the last few years.
[37:09] The net cost in fiscal year 2023 was approximately $12.9 million, because we went on to the next
[37:16] year to $14.3 million, and in the last year, it was approximately $15.3 million.
[37:23] dollars.
[37:26] That has led to losses over the last few years. At the bottom has our fund balance.
[37:32] These are funds from the prior year available to spend in the current year. We started out
[37:38] 22-20-20-30 with 10-point, about $10.7 million. They went down $670-30,000 to approximately $10
[37:49] million dollars. In the next year it went down $69,000 to about $9.9 million. And then in the prior
[37:59] fiscal year we reduced by $1,185,627 to start out the current year with $8,750,546.
[38:14] Using our estimated
[38:16] actuals, we're bringing the fund balance down to approximately $5.3 million and that's basically
[38:25] what's likely the worst case scenario.
[38:38] The next slide has a detailed listing of our general
[38:42] revenues over that time. Most of our general revenues are pretty stable. On the one thing, the two
[38:49] things that have a lot of their ability are sales tax and down on the other revenue which is interest
[38:55] to spend a fair market and quality of justice.
[39:04] The next slide has for our total cash
[39:06] and investment for the city.
[39:10] In the top and the sole line is the total cash
[39:14] and investments for all funds in the city.
[39:17] As you can see, the last couple of years,
[39:20] the total cash has been shrinking down.
[39:23] It falls a pattern in that January to June,
[39:27] we tend to increase the position.
[39:30] This is due to property tax, motor vehicle licensing fee, and business licensing and renewables
[39:36] all coming in in that period, and it tends to go down a lot in July as we pay our bond
[39:43] payment and pre-day our insurance.
[39:47] Download has details of the cash for the general fund, governmental funds in enterprise funds.
[39:56] Governmental funds are the
[40:01] detailed dash line that kind of goes horizontal in the middle.
[40:07] The thicker dash line is the enterprise funds in the soil line on the bottom is the general fund.
[40:15] As you can see most of that decreases due to the enterprise funds as it started out way above the general fund and now is below the general fund.
[40:27] The general funds also contribute a little bit to that downward trend as a couple of years
[40:34] ago, it preached inside of them.
[40:40] Next slide has details of our quarter-percent sales tax.
[40:45] These were mainly positions that we hired when we initially started the quarter-percent sales
[40:52] tax initiative. Over the years, those positions have increased in cost and has led
[40:59] to 13 more expenditures than our revenues.
[41:04] This line has not changed since the last presentation.
[41:11] Next is the annual price of the negotiations.
[41:15] First, we're going to talk about the streets department.
[41:18] Street department is comprised of five funds.
[41:22] The workroom are allocations of revenue from state
[41:25] and federal sources.
[41:26] and the fourth is probably city sources.
[41:33] It includes tipping fees related to green waste
[41:36] and also transfers in.
[41:39] As you can see, the revenues have been increasing
[41:43] over the year, it started in just a year, 223,
[41:47] we're $1.5 billion.
[41:49] They increased to a little less than $1.7 billion.
[41:53] And then again, it was about,
[41:54] we'll less than $1.7 billion in the prior year.
[41:57] Most of these revenues are indexed for inflation, so we do see some growth.
[42:04] Over the years, our personnel and material costs have increased as everyone else's
[42:09] costs have increased.
[42:12] In 20-2030, we saw the last major project that was completed, which was South Main Street.
[42:19] It produced the fund balance to 8 million foot balance of approximately $1.2 million.
[42:24] over the next couple of years that our fund has increased and has the fund accumulates funds for the next project.
[42:35] The next project that is planned is South Jackson, which the current estimated project costs around $6 million.
[42:42] dollars. The total of all the funds in 24 or 25 ended with $2.2,878,610. The
[43:00] next section
[43:01] I'll be talking about enterprise funds. Just know that enterprise funds are rewarded differently
[43:07] of the governmental funds. In governmental funds, the fund balances their resources available to spend.
[43:13] But in enterprise funds, it's only the difference between net assets and no-life buildings.
[43:21] The main difference is due to governmental funds not flipping on-term assets and all-term wide buildings.
[43:29] So you can't really work at a large physical net position to determine how much is available to spend.
[43:37] Therefore, I've included cast positions for all the funds at the bottom, starting up with
[43:44] waste of water as the rates have not changed since July 15, 2012, the revenue stayed pretty
[43:50] stable over the last fiscal of the last many years.
[43:57] With
[44:00] $3 million in $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000
[44:07] to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,000,000
[44:09] Even though we're at a new state of the same, it's our costs have been increasing and
[44:14] that has lead into losses in this fund, total losses in 22-23 were about $1.7 million.
[44:25] In the next fiscal year, we'll less than $1.8 million and then in the last fiscal year,
[44:32] this was, we lost $2.3 million.
[44:36] dollars.
[44:39] This is led to the ending fund balance in last fiscal year is $2 million or $501,131.
[44:49] Even though we've had positive fund balance in that year, the waste water fund was borrowing
[44:54] $686,887.
[45:00] Members from other funds. This is mainly due to it being a high capital intensive program to provide race water. Those capital outlays get, you know, booked to the assets of the fund and are slowly to appreciate it over time. Therefore, we spend a lot more money than we actually booked in expenses in
[45:32] the similar situation.
[45:35] Although it has been a fun balance and also a better cash position.
[45:44] So in fiscal year 22 and 23 it lost $320,000 and then in the next fiscal year it lost $781,000
[45:54] and last fiscal year it lost approximately $1.4 million and it ended with a net position
[46:00] of $12 million, $186,193, but it did have cash position of approximately $6.3 million.
[46:15] So it isn't a better position but it is losing money.
[46:22] Next point is the bearport. It has
[46:26] received most of its revenues in the form of rentals at the airport and also business property taxes.
[46:35] It also receives many times a lot of grant revenue to union capital improvements on the
[46:43] airport as it is an FAA airport.
[46:53] We have losses in 22.3 of $95,000.
[46:58] It increased in 23.4, $193,000.
[47:05] and then the prior year net position increased $1,214,213 to end the year with approximately $4,000 in net position.
[47:18] It had a positive cast position of $308,000 for that year.
[47:26] So overall, the airport was in pretty decent position.
[47:28] The
[47:32] next one is Community Development.
[47:35] Community Development Revenues are generated from permits, so it denies on how many permits
[47:42] every year that go out.
[47:44] As you can see, the revenues now surround a lot in fiscal year 20 and Q 23.
[47:50] The revenues were approximately $392,000, and the next year was went up to approximately
[47:59] $528,000. Last fiscal year went down to $300,000 and $306,000. For the current fiscal year,
[48:09] it's another good year for revenues. Currently, we are new $84,000 more than what is
[48:16] budgeted for the current fiscal year.
[48:24] The funds have been losing that position. Although some of
[48:28] This losses are due to pension expense, which are both in the enterprise funds, although
[48:39] they're not booked in government funds.
[48:42] This leads to works that's in personnel services, then it actually happens in that we pay
[48:48] now.
[48:50] Therefore, unlike the other funds, this funds, cash position is better than what we've
[48:58] about the ending fund balances.
[49:00] So on 2024-25, it ended the fiscal year
[49:04] with the net position of 572,580 dollars,
[49:10] but it was only borrowing a $7,500,000 to $1400
[49:15] at the time.
[49:16] This
[49:21] is the community center.
[49:23] This operates under a joint agreement with the county.
[49:27] There are a little bit of revenues
[49:29] for renting out the community center,
[49:31] but most of the funding comes from the county and half from us in the transfers in.
[49:41] Expenses have been increasing over the years as any other fund, so those transfers have been
[49:46] also increasing.
[49:50] The community center was borrowing $662,691 at the end of prior fiscal year,
[50:04] and with that
[50:11] and charging numbers. My good. Okay Council, we have any questions for Paul.
[50:19] There's an informational item, so any questions for the public and
[50:27] we'll see them.
[50:28] I want to thank Paul for that report and move on to item number 9,
[50:36] which is a presentation
[50:38] of the acceptance of the annual comprehensive financial report development, financial statements
[50:42] and single audit act reports for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 2025.
[50:49] Paul, I can't believe it.
[50:52] Okay, just give me a moment to show us the needs of Waterfall.
[50:58] Maybe that was as long as
[51:05] I should be able to.
[51:08] Honorable
[51:29] Mayor and members of the City Council on April 20th,
[51:33] In 2006, the audit committee consisting of two council members,
[51:36] Chris Diders, and Mark LeMetwick.
[51:39] And citizen members, you could probably review the capper
[51:42] and are they the aquifer and related reports
[51:48] for the fiscal year June 30th, 2025 with the other results
[51:56] were summarized as the balls.
[51:59] The independent auditors report expressed an unmodified
[52:02] opinion on the ACFR and the TDA fund financial statements and the single-arbit reports,
[52:10] no material weakness or significant deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting
[52:17] were found, in the audit of the financial statements performed in accordance with government
[52:22] account standards, two significant deficiencies of internal controls over federal award were found
[52:29] related to the submission of required reports and appointments of timekeeping.
[52:35] No other incidents, incidents of non-fines material to the ACFR
[52:40] and the TDA fund financial statements were disclosed in the audits.
[52:48] I already just went over the details of the general fund, plus the actuals,
[52:53] but if you want to see them in the ACFR, they're on the page 66 of the report.
[52:58] After
[53:02] reviewing the reports, the audit committee recommends acceptance of the ACFR and related
[53:07] reports and foring the ACSR and related reports to the city council.
[53:13] The preparation of ACFR was made possible with a dedicated service in the entire finance
[53:18] department.
[53:20] Each member of the department has a serious appreciation for the contributions paid to
[53:29] We'd also like to thank the entire city with red block management and staff, each member
[53:34] of each department, we're taught on providing information to the finance department for our
[53:41] external waters and assistance made our entire audience process in the marine museum.
[53:47] We'd also like to thank the mayor, members of the city council, the city mayor, and the
[53:52] park and heads for their interest and support in the planning and conducting financial operations
[53:57] for the city and a responsible and aggressive manner and we'd also like to thank our fine
[54:04] owners, Smith and Newell, who made this presentation possible.
[54:09] Thank you, Bob.
[54:10] Appreciate that.
[54:11] And with that, we are recommending to accept the annual comprehensive financial work and transportation
[54:18] presentation, development act on statements and the single quality reports for the physical
[54:24] hearing and hearing period of 2025.
[54:28] Thank you.
[54:29] Appreciate that.
[54:29] Again, the financial were published and everybody could read them and look them over.
[54:33] So I wouldn't ask counsel if you have any other questions for Paul.
[54:37] No.
[54:43] I just want to know if you want to speak to yourself.
[54:46] No.
[54:46] Let's do it.
[54:47] Let's do it.
[54:49] and anybody else?
[54:51] Having said that, but then we appreciate Paul.
[54:53] Again, we want to thank his councilor Paul
[54:55] on hard work that goes into referring to support
[54:57] and the audit report.
[54:59] It's a lot of work.
[55:01] A lot of pages.
[55:02] A lot of pages, a lot of pages.
[55:04] So, do we have a motion as presented by Paul on the item?
[55:08] Number nine for the approval of this report.
[55:15] It's a change.
[55:16] Chris, make some motion.
[55:19] Second by Mark Comet.
[55:21] I need that fixed rule. Councilmember Puff. Yes. Councilmember Hurtin. Yes.
[55:26] Councilmember Geiger. Yes. You know, put them on it. Yes. Yes. Yes.
[55:31] Major vases unanimously. Thank you, Council. And again, thank you, Paul. Appreciate it.
[55:35] Item number 10 is FAA weather camera installation at the Red Love Municipal Air Board agreement.
[55:42] Mr. Miller, I think you're all aware of that mayor mayor. Yeah, members of the Council.
[55:48] What we have before you is a no-cost proposal that has been proposed to buy the North
[55:53] County Violence Aviation Weather Camera Association, a group that actually works for
[55:59] reach air medical, but also is a subsidiary through ABA to go around to several different airports
[56:04] and we've installed real-time camera operations out there.
[56:09] So what fans can do can actually log on to the website and see real-world, real-time, actual
[56:15] weather conditions that are gone as well as a split screen of what perfect conditions look like.
[56:23] So they can come in because some of the toiletry that we have for the weather reporting doesn't
[56:26] take out like smoke particles in there or they may give erroneous reports saying clear skies
[56:31] or in fact that it is included due to the smoke particles in there. So it just helps the pilots
[56:37] make a better decision in their pre-flight planning as far as going to an airport.
[56:42] Remote does not have one of those.
[56:44] The nearest one that did get installed was in Orland Airport.
[56:49] I was able to go down there last summer
[56:50] to see the final touches of them in install.
[56:54] This has been the no cost to the city with exception of providing an electrical outlet dedicated line to them,
[57:00] which is in a short little bit of wire for more than that.
[57:03] So the tool entry,
[57:05] it will be located inside of the office building,
[57:08] or FBL, terminal building, then the camera will be mounted upon top of the roof, then with
[57:13] an open iteration mounting system. So our new roof that we invested in, they're not going
[57:18] to punch any holes in it, it'll just be weighted down with some bricks, small little camera.
[57:22] And you can see that in the evidence that I showed them on a page 500,
[57:28] generally, the camera is a real small, bold mounted unit, and it's mandatory around electronics.
[57:35] This is in the picture. There's a bunch of more stuff. There's about half of that stuff that's in the bar.
[57:39] There's no further, so it doesn't take up much activity.
[57:42] It is free to access anybody member of the public and access it.
[57:46] All the different participating airports in the nation and the system.
[57:51] And so with that, I can answer any questions that they may have.
[57:55] Or I can talk longer if you want.
[57:57] I just got questions from council for staff.
[58:00] Yeah.
[58:01] My question was if it was a cost or a free, I don't think I can answer in that.
[58:08] Yeah.
[58:08] The group was still making ownership of the camera system and the electronics.
[58:15] So if anything happens, they'll come in and give repairs or replacement on it.
[58:19] They receive grants in order to get this installed at our location.
[58:23] Basically, the main cost on it would be internet and electrical costs,
[58:28] which is going to be very minor in conversations with the FBO, Cardi and Aircraft Services.
[58:34] This is just piggybacking on there.
[58:36] It's just the South, it's not going to lose any bandwidth from their Internet.
[58:40] It's nominal, as far as electrical charge is on it.
[58:43] So other than that, we'll have our electrician staff run a little electrical plug over to it,
[58:49] which is only going to have to be set up by foot running.
[58:55] Questions from the public for Scott.
[58:57] I'm regarding this item B.
[58:59] Yes.
[58:59] Hello to the mic, please.
[59:04] The
[59:09] question I have is, what is the lag time on the Internet?
[59:14] They're going to be using for this, and is it going to cause a load with multiple areas contacted at the same time?
[59:29] And we can know that in the name of the location that they've experienced, saying sort of
[59:33] live talk for our suburb roads, go on.
[59:36] Thank you.
[59:37] Thank you.
[59:47] So we do need recommended council action authorized public works director to sign the weather
[59:51] camera agreement and direct staff to coordinate the installation of the weather camera system.
[59:56] Any hints?
[59:57] I've prevented you then.
[59:57] Anybody ask questions?
[59:59] Thank you.
[1:00:02] We need to take it to the airport commission, and they recommended the approval of this event. So they have a draft minister included about that. Thank you. Thank you, Scott. Do you have a motion? Or should we wait a moment? Second? Second. Second, Cassie Pope. I need to please take the role. Yes, that's member Hurtin. Yes. That's member Gaiters. Yes. They're put on Senate. Yes. Yes.
[1:00:27] Measure passes unanimously. Thank you, Council. We'll go to item number 11.
[1:00:32] which is consideration in direction regarding elected
[1:00:35] versus appointed city clerk and city treasure positions.
[1:00:40] We need to provide for the state whether to maintain
[1:00:43] the current structure of the elected city clerk and city
[1:00:47] treasure or transfer transition to an appointed city clerk
[1:00:50] and or city treasure subject to applicable legal procedures
[1:00:54] including voter approval and Mr. Westbrook.
[1:00:58] Thank you, Mary and council members.
[1:01:00] City of Robloaf is to know a lot of city and as such,
[1:01:03] we can have either have an elected city clerk
[1:01:08] and treasurer or those can be appointed
[1:01:11] at your reading on May 21st of 2004.
[1:01:15] There was a resolution passed by the Robloaf City Council
[1:01:19] that suggested that a ballot measure be put
[1:01:21] on the general election of 2024.
[1:01:24] four. That ultimately became measure P that was on the normal
[1:01:29] fifth general election, which asked the voters if they wanted to retain the
[1:01:34] city clerk and city treasurer as an elected or appointed measure P had a vote of
[1:01:39] 56.6% no, which basically determined that the elected clerk and
[1:01:46] treasurer position would remain elected by the voters within the city of
[1:01:52] rough bluff. Most recently the City Council approved the updated ordinance for some accountability
[1:01:59] measures that would have an effective data essentially at the beginning of April. So that
[1:02:05] is now in play at your previous meeting on April 21st. There was a full request to put
[1:02:14] this item back on the agenda for discussion. So really staff is looking for direction from
[1:02:19] from the council on maintaining the existing elected process
[1:02:24] for the city clerk and treacher,
[1:02:27] or if you want to consider putting another ballot on either
[1:02:32] the November of 2026 election or waiting until November of 2028.
[1:02:38] So with that, I'd be available for any questions
[1:02:41] the council may have.
[1:02:42] Thank you, Townsend.
[1:02:44] I'll open a council at this time for questions.
[1:02:47] the time and the whistles.
[1:02:50] Any question?
[1:02:51] We were put back on the ballot in November.
[1:02:54] And this could be a question for Sophia.
[1:02:56] Does not go into effect immediately, as in those positions become the point to where they,
[1:03:00] those voted in as in our current thread, or in our plan, were finished their term to the point
[1:03:06] to be.
[1:03:08] I don't know, but believe they finished their current term and then it becomes my point of position
[1:03:12] upon the exploration of the current term.
[1:03:14] That's it. And you also, yeah, so that would essentially be 2020, the treasure position,
[1:03:21] the third position for your terms that were approved in 2000, that may work. So it wouldn't
[1:03:28] inspire itself. Has
[1:03:35] there been any effort made by the current treasure to submit any of those
[1:03:40] supports that she found that went on? We haven't seen any of them yet. I know that
[1:03:44] staff reaches out frequently to make sure that if there's anything that we need
[1:03:48] to provide that we can do that but we haven't seen any of the reports come across
[1:03:52] since the accountability board has was a gloomed in the new neighborhood.
[1:04:04] Okay, I'll turn it over to comments from the public regarding this item.
[1:04:11] There
[1:04:22] are 634 and it's now 6.
[1:04:25] Okay, let's line.
[1:04:32] Where's that fan, ding ding?
[1:04:36] This isn't your interview just taking public comment.
[1:04:40] Okay, so we can't, I just want to make sure that I'm in the comments.
[1:04:42] Okay.
[1:04:43] So what's public comment, thank you.
[1:04:45] It's really there.
[1:04:45] Yeah, here we go.
[1:04:48] So just councils, director, here we can, council can direct and make a motion.
[1:04:53] on one of the, you know, one of the two items, is that correct?
[1:04:57] You get to tell me what you would wish to do regarding this item.
[1:05:01] So essentially the absence or to do nothing and retain the elected positions as they have
[1:05:08] been.
[1:05:09] If you desire us to move forward and put something on a future ballot, that would need to come
[1:05:15] back here, a picture action of the City Council.
[1:05:17] Okay.
[1:05:19] So council, what's your pledge on that?
[1:05:22] I'd like to see it on a future ballot, but it's not relevant until 2028.
[1:05:26] So at that point, I mean, it's a changing until 2020, short of a recall, correct?
[1:05:33] So that you're speaking to item number two, transition, correct?
[1:05:38] Correct.
[1:05:39] Okay.
[1:05:39] I mean, obviously, we enacted the ordinance in regards to payment and what that looks like.
[1:05:47] But as far as adding you back on the ballot now with the general public is now
[1:05:54] made aware of what the situation is and what the action wasn't seen in place.
[1:05:57] I think when it went on as measured for you, obviously you want the general public
[1:06:02] wasn't informed on why or what that was in the trust suit, but now
[1:06:07] I don't know that it's the best fiscal decision, but on the next ballot,
[1:06:12] but it doesn't make a difference in what we eat,
[1:06:15] but I think it should have that.
[1:06:20] So if you want to make a motion on that and test them,
[1:06:22] do you know what I'm saying?
[1:06:25] I don't know the right verdict for that.
[1:06:27] I mean, it's a prolonged,
[1:06:28] because of something that difference immediately,
[1:06:30] what would be the best for them?
[1:06:33] Yeah, certainly if the desire was to put on the 2028 ballot,
[1:06:37] we could have a discussion again
[1:06:39] in the beginning of 2028, right?
[1:06:42] There may be some council members today that are part of that council and there may be some that are not.
[1:06:47] But staff certainly track that and bring that bring that back to the full body of the council in early 2028.
[1:06:55] The head of the November election in 2028.
[1:07:00] Because it costs two different things on the ballot.
[1:07:04] It does, certainly, under a special election scenario, that's where it would cost us more.
[1:07:10] When we're in a general election, where there's other candidates, a government, our
[1:07:16] foregovernor, like this year, assembly districts, more supervisors, there's kind of some economies
[1:07:22] of scale. This 2026 election is a governor of California, some boards and some state in
[1:07:31] 2028, or be a presidential election year again. So there just may be more items on the ballot then.
[1:07:37] But economies of scale, there's always likely to be a city council race. So if we do it in an
[1:07:43] November election time frame, there's already going to be some cost associated with an election
[1:07:48] because there's going to be Council members on that election.
[1:07:58] So what I hear you're saying is that we can possibly make a motion on item two and get
[1:08:06] amends this particular item to state that it's open for future discussion at a meeting
[1:08:12] at what in early January or 2020 in early January of 2020.
[1:08:19] And that doesn't have to be a motion that could just be direction to staff.
[1:08:26] I mean, by that time you may have different council members as well, so yeah, I just want to make a comment on that as well.
[1:08:34] Yeah, for those of you that I talked about this one before, because we were the only city in California that had this on their ballot.
[1:08:46] But other cities had this on their ballot.
[1:08:50] We were the only city that did pass it.
[1:08:53] Everybody else is transition to treasurers and city clerks who employees.
[1:09:02] I suspect maybe one of the reasons too is because the situation we've been in with
[1:09:07] the treasurer for a while.
[1:09:09] My preference would be that should we just resign and just do what we need to do.
[1:09:14] You know, to replace her whenever that would look like.
[1:09:18] My concern about making a recommendation out to 2028
[1:09:24] this city manager and this city attorney is talking about.
[1:09:29] We're going to have three counts to see if it's up in the number.
[1:09:33] And a couple of years out to that, there'll be another two.
[1:09:36] It's every two years.
[1:09:38] It's Council to change.
[1:09:39] like if there's three people or two people, or if it remains the same.
[1:09:44] So the intention here might be okay, but that doesn't mean two years from now a council might not like this agreement.
[1:09:56] Not that it wouldn't be brought up.
[1:09:58] I have a question or not.
[1:10:09] No, not necessarily. No, because it's still an elected position. And so you have to involve the process to replace the elected position that's codifying the code.
[1:10:20] Yeah, so.
[1:10:28] Stephen, I would say it was my putting it often till 28 was still to bring it up to have it again and to bring it forward for about.
[1:10:39] would be direction at that time by the council, what they wanted to do to move it forward.
[1:10:45] If this would be simply a motion to put it on, would just be a discussion item that we kind of held at an early meeting in January 28th.
[1:10:57] I didn't agree with that. I mean, we need to address it regardless whether she remains wonderful, but it's still going to remain in the elected position until that time move.
[1:11:06] I think wherever council is here needs to be brought up to them to make another decision at that time
[1:11:13] I just feel bad that Cassidy's caught up in the middle of this
[1:11:24] The election in November this November
[1:11:27] Why not say it's already election I say
[1:11:31] See you want something on the ballot in the thumb verb. Yeah, if that I will get
[1:11:38] But, I think so.
[1:11:43] It's the early-up expenditures associated with that already, correct.
[1:11:47] It's an option. You're very apt. It's not a special election. I'm talking about the demand.
[1:11:51] Council, we have enough time to put it on the about this.
[1:11:55] I would defer to our elections.
[1:11:59] Clerk.
[1:11:59] Okay.
[1:12:00] Let's see what that process looks like.
[1:12:02] Maybe we still have to call the special election and everything out or not.
[1:12:05] So I'd like to call for adding to the ballot.
[1:12:09] We haven't called for the election of the council members yet, so as long as we're
[1:12:13] prior to that, it would be soon enough.
[1:12:15] Okay, exactly.
[1:12:17] They've done several months in July, so.
[1:12:19] Okay.
[1:12:22] So on this, we would go, I'm just going to wear this correctly, transition to an appointed
[1:12:28] city clerk and city treasurer to be put in place on the ballot this November, is that right?
[1:12:36] We need three people to give that direction.
[1:12:39] Okay, so we need, I believe we need a motion to that effect and then have to,
[1:12:44] excuse me, because it's an action item. So we need three people to vote on that particular
[1:12:50] statement. Can we bring that back up? I think one of, can I make that motion or can?
[1:12:54] So if you're giving direction to staff, so what I'm looking for is a census of my council
[1:13:04] So the consensus would be to transition to an appointed city clerk, city treasurer and
[1:13:10] bring putting that before the voters for approval in November.
[1:13:16] Yes, that's my preference.
[1:13:17] One, that's my thought.
[1:13:19] Two,
[1:13:22] Mark?
[1:13:23] I feel the same way.
[1:13:24] Great.
[1:13:25] Chris?
[1:13:27] No, I'll have to disagree on this one.
[1:13:29] Okay.
[1:13:29] I think you already have consensus.
[1:13:30] Yeah.
[1:13:31] I sort of...
[1:13:31] Which block?
[1:13:39] My thought is that to be honest with you, there won't pass anywhere.
[1:13:46] There's a bloody pattern in the city, and it's very interesting, sometimes, and it really played out in 2024.
[1:13:56] And I don't even know if you're going to campaign for it.
[1:14:04] I've never seen anything like that.
[1:14:06] I mean, it knows that it's really going to be an issue
[1:14:08] because it's not like this is the first time that I've talked about that.
[1:14:12] It was time to go sometime ago.
[1:14:16] And, you know, frustration level, I think, has risen.
[1:14:20] But we're going to go to a cost situation, again, for one person's family, hate the right
[1:14:28] now.
[1:14:30] I think so.
[1:14:32] Go ahead, Chris.
[1:14:33] That's just my, I just don't think I'd like to be wrong about that, but I don't think
[1:14:38] it will pass.
[1:14:41] And we all know that people don't even go pro-size of it after time anyway, except people are really going to have to understand, particularly in this environment, when people have a real distrust of the elected officials.
[1:15:01] And, you know, I've cited some comments about this on social media, and there's some people
[1:15:09] who have fallen, but she hasn't submitted phrases, reports on Islam. And some people think
[1:15:18] that absolutely they don't want that their vote taken away to vote for these two positions.
[1:15:25] people want to spend the time really explaining that well to the public, and that's fine. I'm just not sure that I want to make that decision for a November ballot, so I'm going to be busy.
[1:15:39] And in addition, I don't really want to make a recommendation to your council for
[1:15:45] 2020, you know, you know, you know, you have to be on the bottom.
[1:15:51] But you guys have the census.
[1:15:53] Yeah, we have the census.
[1:15:53] I was going to say, we've already had the census, so, but thank you for your coming,
[1:15:57] I appreciate that.
[1:15:58] So, I think trying to pick which election I think that's really hard, it's trying to pick
[1:16:04] which elected a different election, whether it's going to pass or not, I think trying to predict
[1:16:08] as we can't do that either, so I still still want to go down to every place.
[1:16:12] Okay, thank you. I don't think the relevance of what's happening in this situation is going to be
[1:16:17] fresh in people's minds in 2028 when they're voting, so it makes more sense that on the heels of this
[1:16:22] expression, while this conversation, while this situation, with the current pressure,
[1:16:27] it's still fresh in people's minds, that decision and that actually made.
[1:16:31] Very good, more recently. All right, thank you.
[1:16:36] Don't we have consensus to put it on the
[1:16:38] about, you know, it's very good, it's going to be number 12, please, resolution of the
[1:16:45] city, Rev. City Council adopting the May 2026 update to the city council policy manual
[1:16:50] Scott Garrison, please.
[1:16:53] Our mayor members of the city council tonight, we ask you to adopt resolution number 26-2026
[1:17:00] for the May 2026 update to the city of Rev. City Council policy manual.

[1:17:12] adding a section on social begin use within chapter 4, code of conduct, and adding chapter
[1:17:17] 11 addressing the responsibilities of communication during a crisis with the citizens of Redblum.
[1:17:23] If the council has no further edits to this version of the council policy manual, the approval
[1:17:29] of the resolution required, the council wishes to have additional discussion regarding the
[1:17:33] policy manual presented at a central meeting and with that I'd be available for any questions.
[1:17:39] Thanks Scott. Again he has mentioned that we need action, adoption of this new number 20 that's
[1:17:47] 2026 for the May 2026 update to the Red Works City Council policy magnum. So Council we have any questions for Scott.
[1:18:05] No questions, all right, so and you have any hands raised for no hands. Thank you, Anita.
[1:18:12] Why do you have a motion on this particular number 12? Motion made by Mark Femint, second.
[1:18:20] Seconded. Seconded by Cassie Pope. Anita, the sacred role.

[1:19:01] just add that be ready because we're going to be on TV and we shortly so be ready for
[1:19:06] that date and it's exciting to get a lot of news coverage for our city regarding what
[1:19:11] we're doing here so that's all I can say thank you.
[1:19:14] I read with city of red blood. They might add hot committee Chris

[1:19:51] Thank you.
[1:19:53] Glad to go.
[1:19:54] No meeting.
[1:19:56] We have a lot of committees that are commissioned.
[1:19:59] I was talking to this the next meeting.
[1:20:03] Can we kind of continue with care executive council?
[1:20:06] I'll make their team.
[1:20:10] Can we kind of solid waste management agency?
[1:20:12] June

[1:20:18] Yes, June 1st. Thank you.
[1:20:21] Dan McKinley, Transportation Commission.
[1:20:24] May the April 27th, have you approved many of the agreement with Consor in North America,
[1:20:30] which is grant writing services as if some go to complex grant applications that they need
[1:20:37] to do, so we've approved many of that agreement with them.
[1:20:41] Very good. Thank you, Pat. That concludes that particular item. Additional comments and other
[1:20:49] meetings attendant, anybody want to share?
[1:20:53] Yeah. Budget, budget, budget, budget, budget.
[1:20:57] So, hold budget meetings. Aside from the COC, there are some subcommittees, if you will,
[1:21:05] of the COC that may be free, but we mostly just find housing and homeless.
[1:21:15] I don't know.
[1:21:20] I think that's a tad repetitive.
[1:21:25] Others have both the city manager and I attended.
[1:21:31] The spring regional coordination meeting down important,
[1:21:36] which consists of the Tehanna County,
[1:21:40] Virginia Fair,
[1:21:42] cities of Red Love,
[1:21:44] Tehanna Cording County.
[1:21:47] And we discuss housing and homeless
[1:21:50] on issues and
[1:21:54] every county and the COC representatives
[1:21:57] need and talk about different issues.
[1:22:00] So there can be a sharing of information
[1:22:02] from all attitudes.
[1:22:06] This meeting we talked about the encampment policy group,
[1:22:11] which is a group that is writing the encampment policy
[1:22:15] the state's point to require for certain kind of funding
[1:22:20] for homeless programs and housing programs.
[1:22:24] And that will also, that works.
[1:22:28] It's a requirement for $93 million
[1:22:32] dollars and funds for
[1:22:37] the little stint. So to be competitive is going to be
