1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360


2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,580
OK thank you.

3
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:15,800


4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,760
OK thanks for your patience.

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,400
Welcome to the city council
meeting for August 25.

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,340
I don't think pastor
Jason made it.

7
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:26,160
So we'll start with the
Pledge of Allegiance

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,000
that John will lead
us in this way.

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,240
Oh, I pledge
allegiance to the flag

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,760
of the United States of
America and to the Republic

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,160
for which it stands.

12
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,560
One nation under
God, indivisible,

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,620
with liberty and
justice for all.

14
00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:54,600


15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,100
We're going to have a couple
of things at the front.

16
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:02,700
And first is we have a visitor
here from Republic services.

17
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:04,920
They want to come up.

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,960
We need to establish a quorum.

19
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:08,000
Oh, yeah.

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:08,900
Get ahead of myself.

21
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:11,800
Go ahead.

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,680
Counselor Evelyn.

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,660
Here mayor Fitch here.

24
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:17,140
Counselor Nielsen here.

25
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:18,660
Counselor Osborne here.

26
00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:19,860
Counselor Patrick.

27
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:20,580
Here counselor.

28
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:21,420
Wedding here.

29
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:22,300
Counselor Zwicker.

30
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:27,940
OK So if you guys want to
come on up, that'd be great.

31
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:31,320


32
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,520
Sounds good.

33
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,960
Thank you.

34
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,880
Commissioner yeah.

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,000
Speak speak.

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,760
All right.

37
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,640
I can figure it out.

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,740
Well, thank you for having
me today, Mr. mayor.

39
00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:43,720
Council members.

40
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,980
My name is Wes Davis.

41
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:47,240
I'm the new general manager
for Republic services

42
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,160
in Central Oregon, which
means I work for you guys.

43
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,740
I have met with your staff.

44
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:58,360
I've heard a lot from
my team about where

45
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,960
we're at in this market.

46
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,320
And I am new, so it's my
chance to ask for feedback

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,479
about how we can be better.

48
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:11,100
And what we can do to
better serve our community.

49
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,420
Honestly, obviously this
is an essential service.

50
00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:16,280
It's something really
important to the community

51
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,820
so that we're healthy,
safe, sanitary at all times.

52
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:23,720
And I take that
charge very seriously.

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,740
What I'd like to do is 1, make
sure you guys know who I am.

54
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:30,240
So I've been with
Republic for five years.

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,900
I was most recently a general
manager in North Idaho.

56
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:34,800
Coeur d'Alene specifically.

57
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,740
Beautiful area.

58
00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:37,840
If you've ever been up there.

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,940
And there's not many places
in the country or world,

60
00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:44,140
frankly, that I'd rather
be, but this is one of them.

61
00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:45,020
I chose to come here.

62
00:02:45,020 --> 00:02:45,860
I wanted to come here.

63
00:02:45,860 --> 00:02:48,280
I hope to be here
for many, many years

64
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,000
and be your partner
for those years.

65
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,360
Before that, I was in
the army for six years.

66
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,340
So I've learned quite a bit.

67
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:56,330
I've learned a lot.

68
00:02:56,330 --> 00:02:58,550
One of the things I've
learned is you learn

69
00:02:58,550 --> 00:03:00,830
a lot by seeing the situation.

70
00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:04,690
So one, I want to invite all of
you at all times, at any time,

71
00:03:04,690 --> 00:03:07,390
to come out and do a ride
along or see our facility

72
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:09,470
and understand where the
rubber meets the road

73
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:11,750
and what we're working
on for the community

74
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:13,790
to better serve you.

75
00:03:13,790 --> 00:03:16,970
I also want to make sure you
all have a direct line to me.

76
00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:20,470
Obviously, I work with
your staff right now.

77
00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:22,170
But I work for you guys.

78
00:03:22,170 --> 00:03:24,050
I also work for all
the people of Redmond.

79
00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:27,470
So anybody that you
hear from that needs

80
00:03:27,470 --> 00:03:30,070
help because they've been
online for 40 minutes

81
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:31,790
and aren't getting
an issue resolved.

82
00:03:31,790 --> 00:03:33,190
I'd love to hear about
that because that's

83
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:34,090
my job to fix that.

84
00:03:34,090 --> 00:03:35,910
If I don't know about it,
I'm probably not going

85
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:37,670
to be able to do
much about it, so I'd

86
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:38,930
love to get that feedback.

87
00:03:38,930 --> 00:03:42,990
I love feedback, hearing what's
going on, what the issues are,

88
00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:46,030
and how else I can
make this better.

89
00:03:46,030 --> 00:03:47,410
I think that's pretty
much all I got.

90
00:03:47,410 --> 00:03:51,110
I want to make sure you
guys got to see me today.

91
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:53,930
I'll stand for any questions
or comments at this point,

92
00:03:53,930 --> 00:03:58,110
but I don't know that you
guys are prepared necessarily.

93
00:03:58,110 --> 00:03:59,490
It could be a long
night if we did that.

94
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:02,910
But hey, I'm happy to be with
you individually if you do

95
00:04:02,910 --> 00:04:04,790
want to take time to prepare.

96
00:04:04,790 --> 00:04:05,290
All right.

97
00:04:05,290 --> 00:04:05,790
Thank you.

98
00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:07,490
Because I understand it
could be a long night,

99
00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:09,710
and I want to do
what I can to fix it.

100
00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:10,210
All right.

101
00:04:10,210 --> 00:04:13,030
Thank you, thank you.

102
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:15,790
Next tonight on our agenda,
we have a second reading

103
00:04:15,790 --> 00:04:19,950
on the fireworks ordinance.

104
00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:22,089
I don't know if anyone's
here on the fireworks,

105
00:04:22,089 --> 00:04:23,970
but there won't be a
public comment period.

106
00:04:23,970 --> 00:04:27,030
So I just wanted to
bring that out front.

107
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:30,670
And with that, we'll move
on to the consent agenda,

108
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:33,010
which is made up of
the minutes of June 15,

109
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:36,510
the minutes of June 23,
the minutes of June 30,

110
00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:38,590

00:04:40,510 --> 00:04:44,990
Northwest for $47,313.95.

113
00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:46,750
A purchase authorization

Amendment number one to the
design contract with Kittleson

signal project TR

119
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:06,310
and the September recognitions.

120
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:09,110
Is there a motion to
approve the consent agenda.

121
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:11,370
I move to approve
the consent agenda.

122
00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:12,810
Second moved and second.

123
00:05:12,810 --> 00:05:14,070
Any further discussion.

124
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:16,430
All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye.

125
00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:17,970
Aye OK.

126
00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:20,230
Next, we have a
presentation one we

127
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:23,810
always look forward to the
fourth quarter financial report.

128
00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:30,230


129
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:32,190
Good evening, Mayor and council.

130
00:05:32,190 --> 00:05:35,850
Jason Neff deputy city manager
chief financial officer so,

131
00:05:35,850 --> 00:05:43,470
yeah, we are bringing the fiscal
year 2526 year end report.

132
00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:49,550
So you can see the
highlights there.

133
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:52,430
On that blue box I
think they can see it.

134
00:05:52,430 --> 00:05:54,030
OK thank you.

135
00:05:54,030 --> 00:05:54,530
Come on.

136
00:05:54,530 --> 00:06:00,970
Jason there you go.

137
00:06:00,970 --> 00:06:02,650
Now you can see them.

138
00:06:02,650 --> 00:06:05,270
So in that blue box is
our financial highlights

139
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:06,110
for the year.

140
00:06:06,110 --> 00:06:08,670
I should mention
these are unaudited

141
00:06:08,670 --> 00:06:11,750
but numbers aren't moving
much at this point.

142
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:13,630
James Wood and his team
are doing a great job

143
00:06:13,630 --> 00:06:15,010
of finalizing things.

144
00:06:15,010 --> 00:06:18,510
So operating expenses
for the year.

145
00:06:18,510 --> 00:06:21,990
We spent 4% less than budget.

146
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:23,450
That's pretty
typical for Redman.

147
00:06:23,450 --> 00:06:26,950
We spend typically about 5% I
think where we were a little bit

148
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:31,910
surprised is the general
fund spent about 2%

149
00:06:31,910 --> 00:06:34,170
So under our budget.

150
00:06:34,170 --> 00:06:37,090
So we were caught a little
bit surprised there.

151
00:06:37,090 --> 00:06:40,990


152
00:06:40,990 --> 00:06:44,390
Looking at some of the
revenues, property taxes,

153
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:48,270
we were slightly
higher than budget

154
00:06:48,270 --> 00:06:53,190
franchise fees is kind of where
we missed it a little bit.

155
00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:54,010
Good example.

156
00:06:54,010 --> 00:06:57,170
We were 300,000 down in
franchise fees versus budget.

157
00:06:57,170 --> 00:07:00,990
Good example is in
September of 2025,

158
00:07:00,990 --> 00:07:03,350
cascade natural gas
dropped their rates

159
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:08,690
by 16% We typically would
assume maybe a 3% increase.

160
00:07:08,690 --> 00:07:12,110
So something we
didn't anticipate.

161
00:07:12,110 --> 00:07:15,150
Also, you might
remember Pacific Power

162
00:07:15,150 --> 00:07:17,910
dropped dropped their
rates by almost a percent.

163
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:19,790
So those two alone
kind of missed

164
00:07:19,790 --> 00:07:22,150
the mark on franchise fees.

165
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:25,510
Overall, we're carrying an
operating deficit in the end

166
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:30,590
of the year, $800,000,
or about 2.7%

167
00:07:30,590 --> 00:07:32,070
That's for the general fund.

168
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:36,930
We anticipated that might
happen this year in our budget.

169
00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:38,650
We tighten things
up quite a bit.

170
00:07:38,650 --> 00:07:41,410
We carried into the
budget a 3% deficit.

171
00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:45,030
So I still am confident
we will see that dissipate

172
00:07:45,030 --> 00:07:48,180
throughout the fiscal year.

173
00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:51,460
But something we'll
keep an eye on.

174
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:54,520
The water fund was
break even this year.

175
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,120
3,000 positives on
a $9 million budget.

176
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,940
So I think our rates are
right where they should be.

177
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:01,040
The wastewater fund.

178
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,620
Obviously we got the wetlands
project going full steam ahead.

179
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:13,180
The DEQ loan is going
to be about $2.2 million

180
00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:15,380
eventually coming
into our budget.

181
00:08:15,380 --> 00:08:19,460
Now we've got about $800,000
surplus in wastewater.

182
00:08:19,460 --> 00:08:22,420
We're going to see about
800,000 of other debt drop off

183
00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:23,920
over the next couple of years.

184
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,900
And we're also anticipating
about a half a million savings

185
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:28,200
on our treatment costs.

186
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,700
So we're going to get there
with regards to our ability

187
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:33,500
to afford that project.

188
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:38,340
You look at the airport,
passenger traffic was up 3,

189
00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:42,100
3.2% the prior year.

190
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:46,380
Overall, we had a $6.9
million operating surplus,

191
00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:49,060
you'll recall, council gave
us the authorization to issue

192
00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:50,900
all the debt for the terminal.

193
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:53,260
And in two budgets
from now, we're

194
00:08:53,260 --> 00:08:56,820
going to be spending
about $7 million a year

195
00:08:56,820 --> 00:08:57,880
on that debt service.

196
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,260
So we are spot on
where we should

197
00:09:00,260 --> 00:09:02,220
be with regards to
being able to afford

198
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:04,160
that terminal debt service.

199
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,700


200
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:07,760
So those are the highlights.

201
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,020
I know we got a lot to talk
about tonight and other stuff.

202
00:09:12,020 --> 00:09:14,580
I can take questions
from council.

203
00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:16,660
Any questions for Jason.

204
00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:21,260
I think we went over this before
but basically a good report.

205
00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:22,340
So thank you.

206
00:09:22,340 --> 00:09:24,900
You're welcome.

207
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:25,400
Let's see.

208
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,860
Next, we have a public
hearing and this is resolution

209
00:09:28,860 --> 00:09:32,800
2026 19 a resolution of the
city of Redmond, Oregon,

210
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,660
adopting a tiered rate
structure for the water utility.

211
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:54,120
Josh with assistance
from finance.

212
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:01,300


213
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:02,600
Evening mayor and council.

214
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,220
Josh, wedding operations
manager for the city of Redmond.

215
00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:09,760
And tonight, before I get
into the presentation,

216
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,560
just to let our consultant.

217
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:13,360
She's a remote again
and her name is Deb.

218
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,900
And I'll go ahead and
give her the opportunity

219
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:18,540
to introduce herself.

220
00:10:18,540 --> 00:10:19,200
Good evening.

221
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,560
Mayor and council, Deb Gulati.

222
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:22,580
Galati, Rothstein group.

223
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:25,820
And I'll be supporting
Josh on the presentation.

224
00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:27,700
Thank you.

225
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:28,400
Yeah thank you.

226
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,580
Deb so this is the
same presentation

227
00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:33,720
that I gave back in July 25.

228
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,180
It's a little bit more
of a condensed version,

229
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:38,940
but I always look for a little
bit of a few more tidbits

230
00:10:38,940 --> 00:10:41,140
of information that I
can give you guys to help

231
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:43,940
better inform your decisions.

232
00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:45,500
Hey, Josh, before
I forget, I'm going

233
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:48,160
to open the public hearing,
so this will be part of it.

234
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,700
Thank you.

235
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:50,500
Go ahead.

236
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:51,000
All right.

237
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,900


238
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:54,400
All right.

239
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,260
On the first slide
here, what this shows

240
00:10:57,260 --> 00:11:01,220
is what the fixed
volumetric rate is currently

241
00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:03,940
and what the volumetric
rate could go to.

242
00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:09,060
Should a tiered rate be adopted
in tiers 1, 2, 3, and 4.

243
00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:11,860
I would be remiss to say
that I didn't point out

244
00:11:11,860 --> 00:11:15,480
the last presentation that tiers
1 and 2 were structured as such,

245
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,060
so that there would be 0
impact to the household

246
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:21,700
in the wintertime months,
the non irrigation months.

247
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:23,940
To put that in
perspective for you,

248
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:28,820
an average residential home uses
about 35,600 gallons a month

249
00:11:28,820 --> 00:11:30,820
on the non irrigation months.

250
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:34,000
And so nine tiers really
or excuse me, 12 tiers.

251
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,500
Really what that allows you
to do is use about 12,000

252
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,760
gallons or sorry 5,000 gallons.

253
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,660
9,000 gallons.

254
00:11:39,660 --> 00:11:40,980
Sorry math was wrong.

255
00:11:40,980 --> 00:11:45,740
I get a lot of numbers in my
head, about 9,000 gallons with

256
00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:49,020
really no impact to the bill.

257
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:49,900
As we can see.

258
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:50,800
Tier 3 here.

259
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,180
You can take that all the way
up to about 15,700 gallons.

260
00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:57,100
Once again, minimal impact.

261
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:58,820
And then tier four
of course, is really

262
00:11:58,820 --> 00:12:00,580
the tier we're focused on.

263
00:12:00,580 --> 00:12:02,580
That's a tier where the
opportunity for more

264
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:04,400
efficient water use exists.

265
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,820


266
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:11,340
What this slide
really points out

267
00:12:11,340 --> 00:12:14,380
is the number of accounts
in the summertime that

268
00:12:14,380 --> 00:12:16,860
jump into tier 3 and tier four.

269
00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:17,840
It's hard to say.

270
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,580
From this bar graph you know
exactly where that customer

271
00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:22,820
lands in tier three or tier 4.

272
00:12:22,820 --> 00:12:24,940
You could be one
unit into tier 4

273
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:28,380
and you could show up
in the red bar here.

274
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:30,780
What this also points out is
what I mentioned in the earlier

275
00:12:30,780 --> 00:12:34,620
slide, the minimal impact
in increase in tier 3

276
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:35,880
and even into tier three.

277
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,530
Even into tier, excuse me, tier
2 and into tier 3, taking it all

278
00:12:40,530 --> 00:12:43,010
the way up to 15,700 gallons.

279
00:12:43,010 --> 00:12:44,970
The bill impact there.

280
00:12:44,970 --> 00:12:48,030
The increase is $33.50.

281
00:12:48,030 --> 00:12:49,810
So it's not a lot.

282
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:53,290
Tier 4 once again is the
tier that we're focused on.

283
00:12:53,290 --> 00:12:55,330
Also, once again, what I
was not able to point out

284
00:12:55,330 --> 00:12:58,150
in the previous presentation
is, as you can see in January,

285
00:12:58,150 --> 00:13:00,770
February, March,
November and December,

286
00:13:00,770 --> 00:13:04,010
you can see that there's
accounts in the black

287
00:13:04,010 --> 00:13:05,590
and the red, right.

288
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:09,370
And give you guys an idea
and to get into that Black

289
00:13:09,370 --> 00:13:10,390
and then into the red.

290
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:13,130
That's 15,000 gallons
in the wintertime.

291
00:13:13,130 --> 00:13:16,930
And so while the impact to the
water utility isn't super great,

292
00:13:16,930 --> 00:13:19,850
95% of that water
is indoor leaks

293
00:13:19,850 --> 00:13:21,110
that are going down the drain.

294
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:23,330
And that's an impact
on the sewer system.

295
00:13:23,330 --> 00:13:25,450
And so we're really looking
to address those leaks also

296
00:13:25,450 --> 00:13:28,170
in the wintertime.

297
00:13:28,170 --> 00:13:30,930
So the wintertime you
think you indicated average

298
00:13:30,930 --> 00:13:33,210
use is about 3,500 gallons.

299
00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:34,490
And that's a month.

300
00:13:34,490 --> 00:13:36,290
Yeah that is correct
per household.

301
00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:40,130
And the average comes out PSU
average is 2.42 times 50 times

302
00:13:40,130 --> 00:13:40,710
31.

303
00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:43,010
What would be the average
in the summertime.

304
00:13:43,010 --> 00:13:43,710
Let's see.

305
00:13:43,710 --> 00:13:47,610
An average home with indoor
use and a 1,500 square foot

306
00:13:47,610 --> 00:13:55,810
yard is about $15,000 a month.

307
00:13:55,810 --> 00:13:57,490
Questions move on.

308
00:13:57,490 --> 00:13:59,210
Nope I have a question.

309
00:13:59,210 --> 00:14:01,430
Are these the numbers you're
showing here on the graph.

310
00:14:01,430 --> 00:14:05,690
I'm assuming on the left side of
the graph is gallons per minute.

311
00:14:05,690 --> 00:14:09,810
Is this historic usage that
you extrapolated to determine

312
00:14:09,810 --> 00:14:11,190
two years, 3, and 4.

313
00:14:11,190 --> 00:14:12,870
The left hand side
of the graph is.

314
00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:13,750
Number of accounts.

315
00:14:13,750 --> 00:14:14,390
Number of accounts.

316
00:14:14,390 --> 00:14:15,290
OK gotcha.

317
00:14:15,290 --> 00:14:16,990
OK gotcha.

318
00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:18,870
OK Accumulated accounts
throughout the city.

319
00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:19,790
Perfect thank you.

320
00:14:19,790 --> 00:14:25,450


321
00:14:25,450 --> 00:14:25,950
All right.

322
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:26,990
This next pie chart.

323
00:14:26,990 --> 00:14:30,930
So 5% of single family
residential demand,

324
00:14:30,930 --> 00:14:32,510
short term reductions.

325
00:14:32,510 --> 00:14:38,470
So conservatively we're looking
for this to conserve about 5%

326
00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:42,120
In the short term that
amounts to about 60

327
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,690
to 75 million gallons a year.

328
00:14:44,690 --> 00:14:47,230
And then of course, as
the program progresses,

329
00:14:47,230 --> 00:14:50,890
we're looking for long term
reductions of 10% or better.

330
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,410
So 10% on the
residential demand yearly

331
00:14:53,410 --> 00:14:58,730
would be 500 million gallons,
which would be pretty nice.

332
00:14:58,730 --> 00:15:00,810
It's a great opportunity
to align our water use

333
00:15:00,810 --> 00:15:03,290
with our water right
constraints and also

334
00:15:03,290 --> 00:15:07,130
focus on the long term capacity
of the natural resource.

335
00:15:07,130 --> 00:15:08,450
We all live here.

336
00:15:08,450 --> 00:15:10,050
We know the number
of droughts we've

337
00:15:10,050 --> 00:15:12,010
seen over the last five years.

338
00:15:12,010 --> 00:15:13,330
And so this just
gives us a better

339
00:15:13,330 --> 00:15:15,530
opportunity to
bring our water use

340
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:18,810
into more efficient capacity.

341
00:15:18,810 --> 00:15:24,050
From my perspective, capital
project deferment is a huge one.

342
00:15:24,050 --> 00:15:26,090
The more we can meet the
growing needs of the needs

343
00:15:26,090 --> 00:15:29,170
of the community without
constructing Wells,

344
00:15:29,170 --> 00:15:31,770
booster pump stations
and reservoirs,

345
00:15:31,770 --> 00:15:33,830
that's efficiency to me.

346
00:15:33,830 --> 00:15:41,170


347
00:15:41,170 --> 00:15:43,190
The 21% in tier four.

348
00:15:43,190 --> 00:15:45,210
And so what this pie
chart really represents

349
00:15:45,210 --> 00:15:47,810
is the percentage of
Bills throughout the year

350
00:15:47,810 --> 00:15:50,210
that occur in those tiers.

351
00:15:50,210 --> 00:15:53,250
And so to point out that
the 21% in tier four

352
00:15:53,250 --> 00:15:56,650
accounts for 30% of the
water is used annually.

353
00:15:56,650 --> 00:15:58,870
And if we just really
do the quick math there,

354
00:15:58,870 --> 00:16:02,690
we've got 37% between
tier 4 and tier 3,

355
00:16:02,690 --> 00:16:04,930
and we have 63%
of the total bills

356
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:06,790
that occur in tiers 1 and 2.

357
00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:09,610


358
00:16:09,610 --> 00:16:11,570
Do we have a breakdown on
residential and commercial

359
00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:13,530
for tier 4.

360
00:16:13,530 --> 00:16:14,950
This is strictly
just residential.

361
00:16:14,950 --> 00:16:15,630
Just residential.

362
00:16:15,630 --> 00:16:16,230
Just residential.

363
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:16,730
Thank you.

364
00:16:16,730 --> 00:16:23,530


365
00:16:23,530 --> 00:16:25,630
And this is our bill profile.

366
00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:27,810
So what this is
doing this is taking

367
00:16:27,810 --> 00:16:29,470
the average of the high bill.

368
00:16:29,470 --> 00:16:31,210
This takes all the
data that we've

369
00:16:31,210 --> 00:16:33,490
compiled over the
last couple of years,

370
00:16:33,490 --> 00:16:37,190
and the average of the high
bill was 59 billable units.

371
00:16:37,190 --> 00:16:40,730
So to put that in perspective,
the mayor loves gallons.

372
00:16:40,730 --> 00:16:43,490
That's 44,000 gallons.

373
00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:46,230
And so if you guys
will remember, I think,

374
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:49,370
told councilor Zwicker, the
average home in July utilizes

375
00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:52,830
about 15,000 gallons on
a 1,500 square foot yard,

376
00:16:52,830 --> 00:16:56,250
including indoor indoor use.

377
00:16:56,250 --> 00:17:01,930
So what this shows is if this
average high bill didn't change

378
00:17:01,930 --> 00:17:03,810
their water usage
and they continued

379
00:17:03,810 --> 00:17:07,210
to water at 44,000
gallons a month, the bill

380
00:17:07,210 --> 00:17:10,829
impact would be $25.61.

381
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:12,890
And I like to use July July's.

382
00:17:12,890 --> 00:17:15,470
It's when we see
the highest use.

383
00:17:15,470 --> 00:17:19,369
And so your bill
impact would be $25.61

384
00:17:19,369 --> 00:17:21,190
with a tiered rate adoption.

385
00:17:21,190 --> 00:17:30,490


386
00:17:30,490 --> 00:17:31,380
And moving on.

387
00:17:31,380 --> 00:17:33,320
And if you guys have
questions on how this looks

388
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,400
on the bill, Valerie billing
manager, she's in the audience

389
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,080
and she might be able to answer
any more targeted questions.

390
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,760
But council had kind of
asked, hey, what kind

391
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,320
of information what kind of.

392
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,920
What kind of things can we do
on the bill to inform customers

393
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,760
of what their
previous year's water

394
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,240
use would have looked like
with a tier bill applied to it.

395
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,820
And so what we've done
here is put on there.

396
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:02,920
This is what an average
bill would look like.

397
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,760
We also have the opportunity to
take the individuals 12 month

398
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,560
use and apply that month
over month over month

399
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,200
to show them what that would
look if a tiered rate was

400
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:25,320
applied to 2025 use.

401
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,220
Moving on.

402
00:18:26,220 --> 00:18:28,960


403
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,440
So this is the
implementation timeline.

404
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:40,120
So obviously right now we're
looking for an adoption today.

405
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:42,560
And what we would like
to do is implement

406
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,780
in either April or October.

407
00:18:46,780 --> 00:18:49,840


408
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:58,200
First and so I think if we
whichever way we implemented,

409
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,880
I think the key is what I
understand is educating people

410
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,800
what their bill looks
like now and what

411
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,200
it would look like under the
tiered rate ahead of time.

412
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,180
That is correct.

413
00:19:09,180 --> 00:19:12,440
So we would get working on
getting those out so customers

414
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,100
could start looking
in that viewing,

415
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:15,280
viewing what their
water use would

416
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,360
look applied to a tiered rate.

417
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:21,440
So when April came, there
wouldn't be any big surprises.

418
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,840
And as I understand it,
we have the capability

419
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,720
of doing that now pre April.

420
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Is that that's a question
more than a statement.

421
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,440
And nodding is yes OK.

422
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:44,400
Yeah Valerie Taylor,
billing and collections

423
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,200
manager we would actually
October with the bill

424
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,180
we sent in October.

425
00:19:48,180 --> 00:19:49,760
That would be the earliest
that we could start

426
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,720
this communication,
but that would

427
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,140
give us enough time to do that.

428
00:19:53,140 --> 00:19:57,200
And then we could continue
doing it from there forward.

429
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,740
So just to take it
one step further,

430
00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:02,240
people would see water
consumption is now

431
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,960
and what the rate is and what
the consumption in the future

432
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,080
would be with the tiered rate.

433
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,880
And then I assume
we can provide them

434
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,160
the tools as to
whether they want

435
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,440
to lower that consumption with
the rebate programs we have

436
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,800
and other possibilities.

437
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,540
Yes, correct.

438
00:20:18,540 --> 00:20:21,640
So we would do the 12
month view and then

439
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,040
we do their current
usage with the tier.

440
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,520
And then we would also
make our communication plan

441
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,720
for education and outreach.

442
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,240
Any other John.

443
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,260
I have a non billing question.

444
00:20:33,260 --> 00:20:35,260
So we have a stated goal.

445
00:20:35,260 --> 00:20:36,640
As a city we want to
reduce water usage

446
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,440
by 10% This is the
Tiered water system

447
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,120
is not designed as a
punishment for people

448
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:43,060
who are wasting water.

449
00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:45,360
But it's designed as
more of a carrot model

450
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:48,400
to try to get that
reduction down.

451
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,460
Where have we seen this
implemented in other cities,

452
00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:56,840
and what kind of reductions
have we seen in those cities

453
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,840
that have brought this forth.

454
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,880
It's a great question.

455
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,260
That's a great
question, councilor.

456
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:02,640
I'm actually going
to pass this one off

457
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,160
to Deb since she deals
with so many utilities

458
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,160
throughout the nation.

459
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,320
Sure So I've worked with
the city of Tucson, Arizona

460
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,360
for years, and obviously
they're in a very water

461
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,540
scarce environment.

462
00:21:17,540 --> 00:21:26,960
And we saw over a 10 year period
a actually even larger than 10%

463
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,840
reduction in their rates or
in their water consumption.

464
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:38,440
Part of it is the structure
itself sends a conservation

465
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,000
oriented message pricing
incentive to customers

466
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,680
to understand about
the scarcity of water

467
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:52,440
and the cost of those using
water during the peak season.

468
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,600
The other variable is the price.

469
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,880
So for the initial
implementation

470
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,980
we have set there's
two objectives.

471
00:22:01,980 --> 00:22:04,840
One is to send that
conservation incentive

472
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,300
by pricing those upper
tiers at a higher rate.

473
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:11,560
But also we don't want
the rate for anybody

474
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,680
to decrease because that sends
kind of a confusing message.

475
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:22,870
So in the future the city can
monitor what the customer's

476
00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:25,310
response is in
terms of water use,

477
00:22:25,310 --> 00:22:28,590
and then continue to
progressively increase

478
00:22:28,590 --> 00:22:38,150
those upper tier rates as needed
to send a more pronounced price,

479
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:45,470
provide a pricing incentive or
just seeing these can be tweaked

480
00:22:45,470 --> 00:22:49,110
as you move forward
during this plan

481
00:22:49,110 --> 00:22:54,030
to balance of your affordability
and your conservation

482
00:22:54,030 --> 00:22:55,350
objectives.

483
00:22:55,350 --> 00:23:00,830
But studies have shown that
even just the rate structure

484
00:23:00,830 --> 00:23:04,670
itself can result in
about a 2% reduction

485
00:23:04,670 --> 00:23:08,950
in water use and the pricing.

486
00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:13,390
Then, depending on how
high those rates are

487
00:23:13,390 --> 00:23:16,190
and how much they
increase, that results

488
00:23:16,190 --> 00:23:18,010
in the additional conservation.

489
00:23:18,010 --> 00:23:20,430
And we've seen this
work in Arizona

490
00:23:20,430 --> 00:23:26,550
and in other Oregon communities
and across the nation.

491
00:23:26,550 --> 00:23:30,310
So one more follow
up question on that.

492
00:23:30,310 --> 00:23:33,450
So do you have experience
in terms of lead time.

493
00:23:33,450 --> 00:23:36,150
Because obviously the
education piece of this

494
00:23:36,150 --> 00:23:38,090
is going to be huge to
get this out to folks.

495
00:23:38,090 --> 00:23:42,790
Have you seen what is the sweet
spot between where we're giving

496
00:23:42,790 --> 00:23:44,430
them enough time
to adapt, but not

497
00:23:44,430 --> 00:23:47,530
so long that that's kind of
falling off of their mind,

498
00:23:47,530 --> 00:23:49,990
and they get surprised with
it when the implementation

499
00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:51,250
finally does come into play.

500
00:23:51,250 --> 00:23:53,870


501
00:23:53,870 --> 00:23:56,750
Yeah, I think, a six
month time period

502
00:23:56,750 --> 00:24:02,370
is sufficient and
is that sweet spot,

503
00:24:02,370 --> 00:24:06,070
assuming that the billing
system is able to produce

504
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:10,630
the Bills and the other
customer service material

505
00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:14,350
and that you've got the
rebates and other elements

506
00:24:14,350 --> 00:24:18,550
of the program in place as
someone pointed out, to support

507
00:24:18,550 --> 00:24:22,150
the customers in actually using
less water in implementing

508
00:24:22,150 --> 00:24:24,110
conservation practices.

509
00:24:24,110 --> 00:24:25,870
Thank you.

510
00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:28,050
OK go ahead.

511
00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:31,790


512
00:24:31,790 --> 00:24:33,750
That is the end of
my presentation.

513
00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:38,790
All right, Jason, do you
guys want to add anything.

514
00:24:38,790 --> 00:24:40,310
All right.

515
00:24:40,310 --> 00:24:42,870
We'll go to public comment then.

516
00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:44,110
Is there anyone
here who would like

517
00:24:44,110 --> 00:24:49,950
to speak on the tiered
water rate proposal.

518
00:24:49,950 --> 00:24:54,710
Seeing none, we'll close
the public hearing.

519
00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:57,090
And let's see where we're at.

520
00:24:57,090 --> 00:24:59,250
We're at the motion.

521
00:24:59,250 --> 00:25:00,370
But shouldn't this be April.

522
00:25:00,370 --> 00:25:08,650
Yes So the motion we'd want
to adopt it affected April 1.

523
00:25:08,650 --> 00:25:09,210
April 1.

524
00:25:09,210 --> 00:25:11,030
March 1.

525
00:25:11,030 --> 00:25:13,030
OK OK.

526
00:25:13,030 --> 00:25:15,310
So what we have.

527
00:25:15,310 --> 00:25:15,810
All right.

528
00:25:15,810 --> 00:25:17,010
So is there a motion.

529
00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:18,210
Ocean I'm already talking.

530
00:25:18,210 --> 00:25:22,630
I guess I move to adopt
resolution number 2026 19

531
00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:27,550
adopting the water tiered
rate effective April 1, 2027.

532
00:25:27,550 --> 00:25:29,210
Second moved in second.

533
00:25:29,210 --> 00:25:31,030
Any further discussion.

534
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:37,750
Sure I just want to tell staff
I appreciate all the work

535
00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:41,030
you guys are doing to try and
figure out how to let the public

536
00:25:41,030 --> 00:25:43,470
know what they're
going to be charged.

537
00:25:43,470 --> 00:25:47,150
I really appreciate that.

538
00:25:47,150 --> 00:25:54,150
However, I disagree with rising
costs when especially when there

539
00:25:54,150 --> 00:25:57,010
are no projects lined
up for the extra money,

540
00:25:57,010 --> 00:26:02,710
they're just going back
into more conservation.

541
00:26:02,710 --> 00:26:05,110
So we aren't.

542
00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:12,590
And the reason that plays
so little in my mind is.

543
00:26:12,590 --> 00:26:16,710
The city of Redmond
uses three to maybe 4%

544
00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:19,470
of the water in Central Oregon.

545
00:26:19,470 --> 00:26:24,030
So 55 million gallons
is a lot of water.

546
00:26:24,030 --> 00:26:29,630
But the big picture
things, it's not very much.

547
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:35,810
I just can't support rising
costs for people who live here.

548
00:26:35,810 --> 00:26:37,110
Live in Redmond.

549
00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:43,470
I'm trying to think of ways we
can go down rather than go up.

550
00:26:43,470 --> 00:26:45,050
So that's it.

551
00:26:45,050 --> 00:26:47,870


552
00:26:47,870 --> 00:26:50,310
Any other comment.

553
00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:55,630
I'll just say that water is
going to be the critical policy

554
00:26:55,630 --> 00:26:56,970
in the decades to come.

555
00:26:56,970 --> 00:26:59,630


556
00:26:59,630 --> 00:27:03,070
We are in a very resource
challenged situation

557
00:27:03,070 --> 00:27:06,270
in Central Oregon on water.

558
00:27:06,270 --> 00:27:11,630
One of the balances of getting
additional water rights

559
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:15,360
is establishing some rational
level of conservation,

560
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:18,700
which I think this does.

561
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:20,700
I think if people
do it the right way

562
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:24,780
and their bill will
not be increased, if it

563
00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:28,220
is, it's almost imperceptibly.

564
00:27:28,220 --> 00:27:32,900
That is $25 for
the year, but this

565
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:36,260
is the cost we pay
for a long drought

566
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:40,300
and an aquifer that's being
very challenged at the time.

567
00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:44,020
So all those in favor
of the resolution

568
00:27:44,020 --> 00:27:45,900
signify by saying Aye.

569
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:48,500
Aye Opposed.

570
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:51,060
Aye OK.

571
00:27:51,060 --> 00:27:54,560
Next, we have
contract review board,

572
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,860
an award of a five year
agreement with Una avionics

573
00:27:57,860 --> 00:28:02,220
corporation for the flight time
airborne position reference tool

574
00:28:02,220 --> 00:28:03,820
and service contract
at the Redmond

575
00:28:03,820 --> 00:28:10,940
Municipal Airport for $242,820.

576
00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:12,920
Gentleman, Mayor and council.

577
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,740
I just wanted to
introduce Charles Hanson.

578
00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:18,560
He's been with us about a month.

579
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,600
He's our new deputy
director of the airport.

580
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,440
And I think you've
met Leif before,

581
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,340
but he's going to take the
lead on the presentation.

582
00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:26,840
All right.

583
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,840
Welcome, Charles.

584
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,940


585
00:28:32,940 --> 00:28:33,440
Thank you.

586
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:55,420


587
00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:56,320
All right.

588
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,900
Thank you.

589
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:04,180
Let me get to from
the beginning.

590
00:29:04,180 --> 00:29:06,100
There we go.

591
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:06,880
All right.

592
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,580
Thank you, Mayor.

593
00:29:07,580 --> 00:29:08,080
Thank you.

594
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,360
Councilors Leif Andersen, in
Redmond Municipal Airport.

595
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,420
Contracts and
properties manager.

596
00:29:14,420 --> 00:29:18,820
Tonight, we're going to ask
for authorization to engage

597
00:29:18,820 --> 00:29:25,380
in a contract for five years
to acquire a digital solution

598
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:28,540
for mostly our air
traffic control

599
00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:34,300
cab staff to enhance safety
situational awareness in the cab

600
00:29:34,300 --> 00:29:35,260
tower.

601
00:29:35,260 --> 00:29:38,100
The full cost of the contract
relates to the acquisition

602
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:41,500
of the software, the
installation, and the licensing

603
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:44,400
of the software to not only
air traffic control staff,

604
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,060
but other stakeholders
around the airport, which

605
00:29:47,060 --> 00:29:48,280
we'll explain in a minute.

606
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:56,860


607
00:29:56,860 --> 00:29:59,880
So first off, the
acronym is apt,

608
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,340
which stands for airborne
position reference tool.

609
00:30:03,340 --> 00:30:11,700
This is not radar, but it's a
GPS based tool that picks up

610
00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:15,680
on ads-b broadcasted aircraft,
which is basically all aircraft,

611
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,340
including our
commercial air carriers,

612
00:30:18,340 --> 00:30:23,340
and translates that data into
visual screens for air traffic

613
00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:29,260
control tower users to look at
and deploy in the cab for safety

614
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:36,980
and awareness Among the
many benefits of the service

615
00:30:36,980 --> 00:30:39,060
which are listed here are.

616
00:30:39,060 --> 00:30:41,560
Verifying verifying
transponder issues.

617
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,900
Assisting in
distressed aircraft.

618
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:48,600
Currently in the tower, we've
got folks with binoculars.

619
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,060
This will add to their
ability to quickly

620
00:30:51,060 --> 00:30:54,700
ascertain where aircraft are
in the airport environment.

621
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:58,740
This is the only approved vendor
of this particular service

622
00:30:58,740 --> 00:31:02,600
for commercial airports
in the GA community.

623
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,720
So it's an FAA single
source provider.

624
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,770


625
00:31:08,770 --> 00:31:13,890
This is an example of what
the tower staff would see,

626
00:31:13,890 --> 00:31:17,570
as well as other users of
this particular product.

627
00:31:17,570 --> 00:31:21,330
It will be very, very similar to
what they will see if they had

628
00:31:21,330 --> 00:31:24,810
ever worked in an FAA
tower with full radar

629
00:31:24,810 --> 00:31:26,250
surveillance coverage.

630
00:31:26,250 --> 00:31:29,370
So it kind of mimics
the same look and effect

631
00:31:29,370 --> 00:31:32,530
of what they would have
seen in previous positions

632
00:31:32,530 --> 00:31:35,350
in towers that had full
radar surveillance coverage.

633
00:31:35,350 --> 00:31:39,050


634
00:31:39,050 --> 00:31:43,250
As mentioned, this is the
only FAA approved vendor

635
00:31:43,250 --> 00:31:45,090
for this particular service.

636
00:31:45,090 --> 00:31:48,570
The FAA and the airport
staff have been wanting this

637
00:31:48,570 --> 00:31:51,970
and have worked hard on
this particular opportunity

638
00:31:51,970 --> 00:31:53,250
for years.

639
00:31:53,250 --> 00:31:58,170
We also have very strong
involvement and a proponent

640
00:31:58,170 --> 00:32:00,510
within the air carrier
community at the airport,

641
00:32:00,510 --> 00:32:02,530
including Alaska Airlines,
who have been very

642
00:32:02,530 --> 00:32:04,170
interested in
instrumental in getting

643
00:32:04,170 --> 00:32:06,770
this set up for us as well.

644
00:32:06,770 --> 00:32:08,890
We did go through a
sole source process

645
00:32:08,890 --> 00:32:14,010
through the city's approval
process for this particular cost

646
00:32:14,010 --> 00:32:15,430
over a five year period.

647
00:32:15,430 --> 00:32:20,370


648
00:32:20,370 --> 00:32:22,770
And with that, we'll
take any questions.

649
00:32:22,770 --> 00:32:23,930
Thank you.

650
00:32:23,930 --> 00:32:26,470
So as I understand it,
at a certain elevation,

651
00:32:26,470 --> 00:32:30,370
Seattle controls traffic.

652
00:32:30,370 --> 00:32:34,010
And then this one is
below that elevation.

653
00:32:34,010 --> 00:32:35,130
Yeah correct.

654
00:32:35,130 --> 00:32:38,050
This will be this is
below that elevation.

655
00:32:38,050 --> 00:32:39,970
This particular tool
will be able to see

656
00:32:39,970 --> 00:32:43,610
any ads-b broadcasting
aircraft, but this tool

657
00:32:43,610 --> 00:32:47,570
will be basically zoomed in to
the Redmond airport environment

658
00:32:47,570 --> 00:32:51,890
to pick up quicker
communications with air

659
00:32:51,890 --> 00:32:53,870
traffic control in Seattle.

660
00:32:53,870 --> 00:32:56,490
The Seattle air
traffic route center

661
00:32:56,490 --> 00:32:59,730
and pilots coming into
the airport environment

662
00:32:59,730 --> 00:33:02,050
pick them up on the
screen and then visually

663
00:33:02,050 --> 00:33:05,090
verify that they're out
there for their separation

664
00:33:05,090 --> 00:33:09,570
service calls for departures,
landings, et cetera.

665
00:33:09,570 --> 00:33:12,170
I'll convene the contract
review board retroactively

666
00:33:12,170 --> 00:33:14,050
to your beginning leave.

667
00:33:14,050 --> 00:33:18,650
So with that, does the
council have any questions

668
00:33:18,650 --> 00:33:20,750
or are we ready to move forward.

669
00:33:20,750 --> 00:33:23,850


670
00:33:23,850 --> 00:33:27,170
With a motion.

671
00:33:27,170 --> 00:33:29,930
I move to approve the sole
source findings and award

672
00:33:29,930 --> 00:33:32,810
the flight line airborne
position reference tool contract

673
00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:39,050
to avionics in the amount of
$242,820, and authorize the city

674
00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:40,630
manager to sign the contract.

675
00:33:40,630 --> 00:33:42,310
Second moved in second.

676
00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:43,550
Any further discussion.

677
00:33:43,550 --> 00:33:48,337
All those in favor, signify by
saying I. I thank you very much.

678
00:33:48,337 --> 00:33:48,870
Thank you mayor.

679
00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:49,370
Thank you.

680
00:33:49,370 --> 00:33:50,970
Council so we'll
reconvene the council

681
00:33:50,970 --> 00:33:54,530
from the contract review board
and we'll go to ordinances.

682
00:33:54,530 --> 00:33:56,010
And this is the second
reading of ordinance

683
00:33:56,010 --> 00:33:58,350
2026 regarding fireworks.

684
00:33:58,350 --> 00:34:03,290
Is there a motion to have a
second reading by Title only.

685
00:34:03,290 --> 00:34:07,930
I move to have to have a second
reading of ordinance 2026 11

686
00:34:07,930 --> 00:34:09,030
by Title only.

687
00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:10,750
Second moved and seconded.

688
00:34:10,750 --> 00:34:12,070
Any further discussion.

689
00:34:12,070 --> 00:34:22,010
All those in favor, signify
by saying I. Oh, Jay.

690
00:34:22,010 --> 00:34:24,370
Nay OK.

691
00:34:24,370 --> 00:34:28,110
City ordinance number 2026-11.

692
00:34:28,110 --> 00:34:30,030
An ordinance amending
the Redmond city code,

693
00:34:30,030 --> 00:34:34,210
Section 5.305 prohibiting
possession, sale, and use

694
00:34:34,210 --> 00:34:36,370
of fireworks in Redmond.

695
00:34:36,370 --> 00:34:38,630
Is there a motion to approve.

696
00:34:38,630 --> 00:34:41,810


697
00:34:41,810 --> 00:34:46,730
I move to approve ordinance
2026 11 by roll call vote

698
00:34:46,730 --> 00:34:48,230
second a second.

699
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:51,250
Any further discussion
before we have the vote.

700
00:34:51,250 --> 00:34:52,750
If not, we'll go
with a roll call.

701
00:34:52,750 --> 00:34:56,190
Vote councilor Evelyn.

702
00:34:56,190 --> 00:34:58,390
Excuse me.

703
00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:59,070
Mayor Fitch.

704
00:34:59,070 --> 00:35:00,890
Yes councilor counselor Nielsen.

705
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:01,910
Yes Councilor.

706
00:35:01,910 --> 00:35:03,070
Osborne yes.

707
00:35:03,070 --> 00:35:04,370
Councilor Patrick.

708
00:35:04,370 --> 00:35:05,470
No counselor.

709
00:35:05,470 --> 00:35:06,770
Wedding yes.

710
00:35:06,770 --> 00:35:07,890
Councilor Zwicker.

711
00:35:07,890 --> 00:35:10,810
Yes OK.

712
00:35:10,810 --> 00:35:12,630
Next, we have an action items.

713
00:35:12,630 --> 00:35:14,810
And the first one
we're going to do

714
00:35:14,810 --> 00:35:17,670
is one we discussed
in executive session.

715
00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:21,550
It's resolution number 2026 21.

716
00:35:21,550 --> 00:35:23,490
Give a little background.

717
00:35:23,490 --> 00:35:25,570
Yes mayor.

718
00:35:25,570 --> 00:35:26,930
City attorney.

719
00:35:26,930 --> 00:35:30,090
So this is coming out
of executive session.

720
00:35:30,090 --> 00:35:32,790
It's been before
council twice now.

721
00:35:32,790 --> 00:35:37,250
The first time was for
a resolution to initiate

722
00:35:37,250 --> 00:35:38,910
eminent domain process.

723
00:35:38,910 --> 00:35:41,970
And so the property
concerned in this

724
00:35:41,970 --> 00:35:44,990
is the intersection
of ninth and antler.

725
00:35:44,990 --> 00:35:48,070
It's part of the
East side arterial.

726
00:35:48,070 --> 00:35:49,970
And there's a
section of property

727
00:35:49,970 --> 00:35:51,790
that needs to be obtained.

728
00:35:51,790 --> 00:35:53,830
In order to complete
this project.

729
00:35:53,830 --> 00:35:57,170
It's essential to
continue the project.

730
00:35:57,170 --> 00:36:00,000
And so we've been
engaging in negotiations

731
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,400
with the property owner to
purchase that piece of property.

732
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,860
And as we are continuing
those negotiations,

733
00:36:05,860 --> 00:36:10,860
we are also working through the
condemnation process as well.

734
00:36:10,860 --> 00:36:15,360
So this resolution is the second
resolution in this process that

735
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,480
would authorize staff to file
the condemnation action in city

736
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,280
court while we
continue to not seek

737
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,520
or I think I said
Circuit Court while we

738
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,960
continue the
negotiation process,

739
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,580
because it wasn't in the packet.

740
00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:31,920
There's two sections to whereas
clauses that I'll read for you

741
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,480
and then briefly go over
the approval as well.

742
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:40,440
So this is resolution
number 2026-20.

743
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,100
It's similar to
resolution 2026-10.

744
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:48,520
That was the first
resolution of these two.

745
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,520
In addition, on this one we
identify the property concerned

746
00:36:52,520 --> 00:37:05,480
which are tax lots 02500 and one
(513) And so that's the legal

747
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:06,260
description.

748
00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:10,680
Also included in the exhibits
are the actual property

749
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,760
descriptions.

750
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,960
Additionally, staff has
completed the appraisals

751
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,740
and required notices engaged
in the 40 day offer period,

752
00:37:19,740 --> 00:37:22,200
which has now expired.

753
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,520
Despite these
attempts, we've not

754
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,160
managed to settle
on a purchase price

755
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,720
of the property, which
is why we're moving

756
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:31,120
forward with this resolution.

757
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,240
This resolution will authorize
staff to commence prosecute

758
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:37,720
the condemnation actions.

759
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:41,120
It also authorizes city
manager and city legal counsel

760
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,440
to make stipulations,
amendments, agreements,

761
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,200
and determine, as they determine
may be in the best interests

762
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,640
of the city to make final offer
and negotiate a purchase price

763
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,480
for this property if
possible, or continue

764
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,720
with the condemnation
in Circuit Court.

765
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:01,080
Any questions.

766
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:01,720
Just one.

767
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:04,180
OK I was just say I have
a clarification question.

768
00:38:04,180 --> 00:38:10,800
So we're tonight is
2026-20.-18 correct with

769
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,340
our packet for clarification.

770
00:38:13,340 --> 00:38:14,960
Thank you.

771
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,040
I just want clarification
on one point, which

772
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,400
is that no action that
we're taking tonight

773
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,600
is going to prevent or interfere
with any ongoing negotiations

774
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,440
or ability to
reach an agreement.

775
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,140
That is correct.

776
00:38:27,140 --> 00:38:29,800
We will continue
those negotiations

777
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,247
and we actually can continue
them even after filing all

778
00:38:33,247 --> 00:38:34,180
the way through the process.

779
00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:35,900
We can continue negotiations.

780
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:37,200
Thank you.

781
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,360
Is there a motion to
approve resolution 2026?

782
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,160
20, a resolution authorizing
the acquisition of property.

783
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,860
I've got a question.

784
00:38:46,860 --> 00:38:50,440
Let me just finish this interest
for the East side arterial

785
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,440
projects through
condemnation proceedings

786
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,320
when don't we get the motion
and second on the floor

787
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,800
and then we'll have discussion.

788
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:58,500
Is there a motion.

789
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:05,480
I move to adopt resolution
number 2020 6-20.

790
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,360
I'll second.

791
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,460
OK discussion.

792
00:39:07,460 --> 00:39:10,080
Jay Keith.

793
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:16,280
This isn't 100% It doesn't
slow the process down.

794
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,880
Correct Correct a unanimous
vote is not required.

795
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,280
OK OK.

796
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,400
Any further discussion.

797
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,840
All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye.

798
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,200
Aye Opposed.

799
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:40,220
Aye OK, so next we have
resolution 2026 18,

800
00:39:40,220 --> 00:39:43,400
a resolution declaring certain
territory in Northwest Redmond

801
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,480
as being annexed to and
incorporated within the city

802
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,220
of Redmond.

803
00:39:46,220 --> 00:39:47,740
Kyle all right.

804
00:39:47,740 --> 00:39:49,260
Good evening, Mayor and council.

805
00:39:49,260 --> 00:39:51,600
As the mayor just
mentioned, this is a really

806
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,120
relatively small annexation.

807
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,040
And this is essentially
needed to Annex A little piece

808
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,280
of property that's owned by
Hayden homes in off of Northwest

809
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:04,980
way and Northwest Redmond.

810
00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:06,420
And you'll see there
on the graphic,

811
00:40:06,420 --> 00:40:08,080
it's denoted in the yellow.

812
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,720
So all together it's
just over 3/4 of an acre.

813
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:15,600
Again, once we annex that
then subsequently it will

814
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,400
be dedicated for right of way.

815
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,440
And that's because the adjoining
property owner, Pacific star

816
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,700
estates, which is a
master development plan,

817
00:40:24,700 --> 00:40:27,320
they're going to begin work
on a multi-phase residential

818
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,080
development, and
they will be required

819
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,360
to basically improve Northwest
way along the frontage

820
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,220
of their property.

821
00:40:34,220 --> 00:40:37,600
So we need that full
right of way dedication

822
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,500
for that to materialize.

823
00:40:39,500 --> 00:40:42,800
So any questions.

824
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,760
No it looks like a
pretty small annexation.

825
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,560
Any questions.

826
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,040
Is there a motion.

827
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,110
I moved to adopt
resolution 2026 18.

828
00:40:54,110 --> 00:40:55,090
I'll second.

829
00:40:55,090 --> 00:40:55,810
Moved in second.

830
00:40:55,810 --> 00:40:56,970
Any further discussion.

831
00:40:56,970 --> 00:40:59,230
All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye.

832
00:40:59,230 --> 00:41:01,570
Aye OK.

833
00:41:01,570 --> 00:41:04,990
Next, we have a purchase
authorization for three axle

834
00:41:04,990 --> 00:41:07,390
snowplow dump truck
for the public works

835
00:41:07,390 --> 00:41:13,070
department for $308,014.94.

836
00:41:13,070 --> 00:41:16,410
Ryan good evening.

837
00:41:16,410 --> 00:41:17,290
Mayor and council.

838
00:41:17,290 --> 00:41:21,790
Ryan Kirchner, public works
operations manager for the city.

839
00:41:21,790 --> 00:41:24,710
Tonight's action
item request or ask

840
00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:28,630
council to approve the
purchase of one 2027

841
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:33,870
with 10 yard dump truck that
will have a dump body and snow

842
00:41:33,870 --> 00:41:36,230
fighting systems attached.

843
00:41:36,230 --> 00:41:40,750
This purchase will be made
via or through PAPI with.

844
00:41:40,750 --> 00:41:46,670
It is for 308,400 or $14.94.

845
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:51,110
This purchase was competitively
bid via sourcewell contract.

846
00:41:51,110 --> 00:41:54,990
This purchase specifically is
for the transportation division,

847
00:41:54,990 --> 00:41:57,070
which will use it for
summer hauling, street

848
00:41:57,070 --> 00:41:59,270
preservation projects
and snow fighting

849
00:41:59,270 --> 00:42:01,190
during the winter months.

850
00:42:01,190 --> 00:42:05,470
It's also replacing
almost 30-year-old 5 yard

851
00:42:05,470 --> 00:42:08,270
dump truck that is
undersized and is

852
00:42:08,270 --> 00:42:11,110
also beyond its useful life.

853
00:42:11,110 --> 00:42:14,590
This purchase was first
presented to the Budget

854
00:42:14,590 --> 00:42:19,350
Committee and is in the
current fiscal year budget

855
00:42:19,350 --> 00:42:21,890
under the transportation,
capital, vehicles,

856
00:42:21,890 --> 00:42:23,630
and equipment sub fund.

857
00:42:23,630 --> 00:42:25,230
And before we move
to motion, I'd be

858
00:42:25,230 --> 00:42:27,910
happy to answer any questions.

859
00:42:27,910 --> 00:42:30,830
Is it 308 within the
budgetary framework.

860
00:42:30,830 --> 00:42:33,630
Yes OK.

861
00:42:33,630 --> 00:42:34,890
Is there a motion.

862
00:42:34,890 --> 00:42:38,510


863
00:42:38,510 --> 00:42:42,150
I moved to authorize the city
manager to purchase one 2027

864
00:42:42,150 --> 00:42:46,270
with T4 83 axle dump truck
chassis with snow removal

865
00:42:46,270 --> 00:42:49,550
equipment from with
utilizing sourcewell

866
00:42:49,550 --> 00:42:53,630
contract number 032824.

867
00:42:53,630 --> 00:43:00,070
KTTC in the amount not
to exceed $308,014.94.

868
00:43:00,070 --> 00:43:01,850
A second.

869
00:43:01,850 --> 00:43:03,670
Any further discussion.

870
00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:06,030
All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye.

871
00:43:06,030 --> 00:43:09,110
Aye Thank you.

872
00:43:09,110 --> 00:43:12,650
Up next, we'll have
comments from Citizens.

873
00:43:12,650 --> 00:43:16,270
Does anyone have a
comment at this time.

874
00:43:16,270 --> 00:43:17,610
Yeah come on up, sir.

875
00:43:17,610 --> 00:43:22,070


876
00:43:22,070 --> 00:43:25,950
If you just state your name
and address, that'd be great.

877
00:43:25,950 --> 00:43:27,590
Oh, Richard frost.

878
00:43:27,590 --> 00:43:29,730
OK, but Richard, you
can use the table.

879
00:43:29,730 --> 00:43:30,490
That's fine.

880
00:43:30,490 --> 00:43:32,070
Just make sure
you hit the button

881
00:43:32,070 --> 00:43:34,390
to make the microphone go on.

882
00:43:34,390 --> 00:43:43,970
OK yeah.

883
00:43:43,970 --> 00:43:50,690
I'm a sort of a victim of
the verra mobility place.

884
00:43:50,690 --> 00:43:53,910
I talked to you
about two weeks ago

885
00:43:53,910 --> 00:44:00,510
and gave you some literature,
and I didn't get any response.

886
00:44:00,510 --> 00:44:04,210
I wish I could have and
that's not everything.

887
00:44:04,210 --> 00:44:08,690
So we all know that system
is separate from everything,

888
00:44:08,690 --> 00:44:10,550
but it's not.

889
00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:16,410
So it came along and I
don't know who got it.

890
00:44:16,410 --> 00:44:17,990
Most probably the police.

891
00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:22,230
The police officers or.

892
00:44:22,230 --> 00:44:25,350
This area we're talking
about the traffic cameras

893
00:44:25,350 --> 00:44:27,430
was that we're talking
about the traffic cameras.

894
00:44:27,430 --> 00:44:29,130
And that went through.

895
00:44:29,130 --> 00:44:31,290
I got myself a
good six in maple.

896
00:44:31,290 --> 00:44:31,930
So yeah.

897
00:44:31,930 --> 00:44:35,390
But anyway, that did go through
a fairly rigorous review

898
00:44:35,390 --> 00:44:37,830
process, but go ahead.

899
00:44:37,830 --> 00:44:44,190
Oh, I don't think that Vera
mobility was a very good choice

900
00:44:44,190 --> 00:44:48,270
at all since it's going
through a class action lawsuit,

901
00:44:48,270 --> 00:44:50,450
and those could go on
for a couple of years.

902
00:44:50,450 --> 00:44:53,230
You just don't know what's going
to happen with one of those.

903
00:44:53,230 --> 00:44:55,790
And it's just and
when I came and when

904
00:44:55,790 --> 00:44:57,950
I've come into this
building, I decided

905
00:44:57,950 --> 00:45:02,910
I was going to go
to a judge or and so

906
00:45:02,910 --> 00:45:09,990
that made me give back my
pictures that they had taken.

907
00:45:09,990 --> 00:45:11,870
And I thought, oh, OK.

908
00:45:11,870 --> 00:45:14,310
And so when I about a
week before I was going

909
00:45:14,310 --> 00:45:16,130
to do the final thing here.

910
00:45:16,130 --> 00:45:18,870
Excuse me.

911
00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:22,890
I went to the police
office and I said, well,

912
00:45:22,890 --> 00:45:27,590
can I get my pictures back
so I can put up more of not

913
00:45:27,590 --> 00:45:29,990
a defense but just a show.

914
00:45:29,990 --> 00:45:31,250
And so they said, yeah.

915
00:45:31,250 --> 00:45:32,790
And they got a
young lady in there

916
00:45:32,790 --> 00:45:35,710
to get a computer outside
the police department

917
00:45:35,710 --> 00:45:38,070
or in the police
department in the lobby

918
00:45:38,070 --> 00:45:39,530
there for people to use.

919
00:45:39,530 --> 00:45:42,580
And I said, I'm 75 years
old and I understand

920
00:45:42,580 --> 00:45:46,940
you are to remind everybody you
pointed that out when you were

921
00:45:46,940 --> 00:45:52,580
there that we couldn't
get my pictures back,

922
00:45:52,580 --> 00:45:55,220
and that's a failure.

923
00:45:55,220 --> 00:45:59,100
And so when I came
here for the judge,

924
00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:00,620
I said, well, I've
been pondering

925
00:46:00,620 --> 00:46:02,660
over even getting a jury.

926
00:46:02,660 --> 00:46:04,900
And I said, well, that
would be kicking my own self

927
00:46:04,900 --> 00:46:07,680
in I decided not to do that.

928
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,740
But so anyway, he dismissed
it, the whole thing because I

929
00:46:11,740 --> 00:46:13,880
just said, this is ridiculous.

930
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,900
Because I don't think I was
guilty of that behavior.

931
00:46:16,900 --> 00:46:19,940
And I don't think and I don't
maybe the police can tell

932
00:46:19,940 --> 00:46:23,120
me where did my pictures go.

933
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,260
They never showed up.

934
00:46:26,260 --> 00:46:31,860
So obviously I'm saying I'm
not giving a very good thing

935
00:46:31,860 --> 00:46:34,380
here because it's not my thing.

936
00:46:34,380 --> 00:46:37,860
But you guys need
to clean it up.

937
00:46:37,860 --> 00:46:39,920
And I would start
with getting rid.

938
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,880
I don't care if air
mobility is not a good.

939
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,960
I've got all kinds of stuff.

940
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:45,520
Just for fun.

941
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:46,820
I read all your information.

942
00:46:46,820 --> 00:46:47,320
What's that.

943
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:48,520
I read all your information.

944
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:49,920
Well, it wasn't all
the information.

945
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,880
There's tons of
information on it.

946
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,820
I said I read your
information that you gave me.

947
00:46:53,820 --> 00:46:54,320
What's that.

948
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,080
I read the information
you gave me.

949
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:56,600
Well, that's.

950
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,780
Well, I didn't.

951
00:46:57,780 --> 00:46:58,520
I didn't think you.

952
00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:59,920
I didn't want to
burden you with that.

953
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:01,940
But you didn't.

954
00:47:01,940 --> 00:47:03,240
And I'm not trying
to get on you.

955
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:05,300
You're a nice guy.

956
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:05,880
But I don't.

957
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,100
I think it's not
going to go over

958
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:10,040
very well if we don't sweeten.

959
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,900
I don't get the
system going properly.

960
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:16,240
And that's when it
could have been set.

961
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:21,120
And a good time or a bad
time for when it was set.

962
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,660
Was may right when
their mobility

963
00:47:23,660 --> 00:47:26,400
crashed on the NASDAQ a lot.

964
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,600
I don't know if you
follow that, but yeah,

965
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,100
that was a big crash on the.

966
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:33,500
So to sum up, Richard,
because your time ran out.

967
00:47:33,500 --> 00:47:35,000
Let me just ask.

968
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,980
You're asking us to review
the situation with the police

969
00:47:37,980 --> 00:47:40,700
department is what I'm
getting from your testimony

970
00:47:40,700 --> 00:47:43,520
that I found it
kind of confusing.

971
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,380
I kind of found it
confusing in the court

972
00:47:45,380 --> 00:47:50,020
building because they said when
I went to get my pictures up

973
00:47:50,020 --> 00:47:53,940
here the first time, they
had two people come back

974
00:47:53,940 --> 00:47:58,860
and say, well, you need
to know that, you'll they

975
00:47:58,860 --> 00:48:02,760
didn't really sit that
we have these pictures.

976
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,660
And I go, well, yeah,
I brought them back.

977
00:48:04,660 --> 00:48:07,000
Yeah but it was
like this big deal.

978
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,980
And I have a hunch most people
just pay their fine and leave,

979
00:48:12,980 --> 00:48:15,740
and I just don't think that.

980
00:48:15,740 --> 00:48:17,280
Couldn't you get another vendor.

981
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,600
I mean, you get a meeting.

982
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,280
And the judge said he could.

983
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,920
It's not that
difficult. All right.

984
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,580
Well, we'll review
that with the police

985
00:48:26,580 --> 00:48:28,520
department and the city staff.

986
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:29,140
What's that.

987
00:48:29,140 --> 00:48:30,380
We'll review.

988
00:48:30,380 --> 00:48:31,980
I think we're going
we actually talked

989
00:48:31,980 --> 00:48:34,740
about having review at some
point of how this is working.

990
00:48:34,740 --> 00:48:36,860
So we won't be working too good.

991
00:48:36,860 --> 00:48:37,360
All right.

992
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,080
Well, I appreciate your opinion.

993
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:40,640
We'll find out from
everyone else, too.

994
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,020
OK I just wanted to.

995
00:48:44,020 --> 00:48:45,640
Because I seem to
be the only one.

996
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,720
I seem to be the only
one that did a jury.

997
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:48,860
One almost.

998
00:48:48,860 --> 00:48:50,240
And walking in the door.

999
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:51,400
And it's like, no, this.

1000
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,900
And this is going around
the whole country.

1001
00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:55,880
All right with
different vendors.

1002
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,580
And this isn't as
bad as a lot of them.

1003
00:48:59,580 --> 00:49:00,080
All right.

1004
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,540
Thank you very much
for your testimony.

1005
00:49:02,540 --> 00:49:03,280
Thank you.

1006
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:08,820
OK anybody else with
a public comment.

1007
00:49:08,820 --> 00:49:11,180
Seeing none, we'll go to Keith.

1008
00:49:11,180 --> 00:49:13,440
OK I have a couple of things.

1009
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,300
First of all, the wild ride
car show occurred last weekend.

1010
00:49:17,300 --> 00:49:21,200
And at least from PD, the
Police Department's perspective.

1011
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,860
And Sergeant gortney
was down there.

1012
00:49:22,860 --> 00:49:23,840
It went really well.

1013
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,760
They had good communication
with Shane, who you met,

1014
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,320
who did the presentation
a month or so ago.

1015
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,060
So the new way they're running
the show and the coordination

1016
00:49:31,060 --> 00:49:32,500
with police and
making sure people

1017
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:35,940
don't do unsafe things
worked out, so I

1018
00:49:35,940 --> 00:49:37,900
just wanted to pass that on.

1019
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:42,340
And the only other thing
we also back in July 28,

1020
00:49:42,340 --> 00:49:47,180
there was the annexation related
to the Segoviano property.

1021
00:49:47,180 --> 00:49:50,200
And that kind of went
through without protest.

1022
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,820
So that's done as well.

1023
00:49:51,820 --> 00:49:53,380
That's what I've got.

1024
00:49:53,380 --> 00:49:54,920
All right, Jay,
we'll start with you.

1025
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,940


1026
00:49:57,940 --> 00:50:04,380
Yeah I'd like to just bring up
a name of a guy who passed away

1027
00:50:04,380 --> 00:50:09,360
a week after the fair, and
Randy Marvin is who it was,

1028
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,940
and he died.

1029
00:50:12,940 --> 00:50:14,500
Died at his house.

1030
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:17,440
But I'd been with him
just a few days earlier.

1031
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,100
He gave me a ride out
to my car at the fair.

1032
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:23,820
He volunteered for everything.

1033
00:50:23,820 --> 00:50:27,780
Our flags that we
see every holiday.

1034
00:50:27,780 --> 00:50:37,290
He was part of that program and
just his veteran and a real.

1035
00:50:37,290 --> 00:50:44,210
Real giving person always wanted
to be part of the help people.

1036
00:50:44,210 --> 00:50:45,890
So I just.

1037
00:50:45,890 --> 00:50:47,310
I'm going to miss him a lot.

1038
00:50:47,310 --> 00:50:49,050
I just wanted to bring it up.

1039
00:50:49,050 --> 00:50:50,210
Thank you.

1040
00:50:50,210 --> 00:50:52,490
OK Clifford.

1041
00:50:52,490 --> 00:50:55,570
Yes, I guess I pass.

1042
00:50:55,570 --> 00:51:00,210
Yes I just want to say
that I think the world

1043
00:51:00,210 --> 00:51:03,730
is a little less bright today
with the loss of Dolly Parton.

1044
00:51:03,730 --> 00:51:06,950
And my thoughts and prayers
go out to her family.

1045
00:51:06,950 --> 00:51:10,590
And I've got some albums that
I'll be rolling around tonight.

1046
00:51:10,590 --> 00:51:18,370
So let me say
something about water.

1047
00:51:18,370 --> 00:51:24,050
If we don't do this, our rates
will skyrocket in the future

1048
00:51:24,050 --> 00:51:28,130
because water will not.

1049
00:51:28,130 --> 00:51:32,330
The more people we get with
the static amount of water,

1050
00:51:32,330 --> 00:51:35,090
is a supply and
demand issue there,

1051
00:51:35,090 --> 00:51:40,330
and prices will go up more
appreciably than if we take

1052
00:51:40,330 --> 00:51:43,450
the steps to do water
conservation, which

1053
00:51:43,450 --> 00:51:49,810
also puts us in a better state
to get additional water rights.

1054
00:51:49,810 --> 00:51:52,370
We have one currently pending
before the water resources

1055
00:51:52,370 --> 00:51:55,250
department to
transfer surface water

1056
00:51:55,250 --> 00:52:00,090
rights of 500 million gallons
from the river to groundwater.

1057
00:52:00,090 --> 00:52:03,190
But water is not
increasing in our basin.

1058
00:52:03,190 --> 00:52:09,970
And so this is the right step
for a lot of right reasons.

1059
00:52:09,970 --> 00:52:12,110
And no one likes any increase.

1060
00:52:12,110 --> 00:52:14,610
But this is going to be the
softest increase compared

1061
00:52:14,610 --> 00:52:16,970
to if we don't do something.

1062
00:52:16,970 --> 00:52:18,330
So with that, I
think the council

1063
00:52:18,330 --> 00:52:21,330
made a great decision on
moving forward with the water

1064
00:52:21,330 --> 00:52:22,890
tiered rate system.

1065
00:52:22,890 --> 00:52:26,970
I think on the long term,
it will be quite beneficial.

1066
00:52:26,970 --> 00:52:29,540
And with that, we're adjourned.

1067
00:52:29,540 --> 00:52:31,000
