Today we come repentant of 9 00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:05,920 the times that we create a den of robbers where we are advantaged at the 10 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:09,520 expense of others around us. and we ask that you would help us to see more 11 00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:14,320 clearly how we can love and care for our neighbors in the most fruitful way.

Forgive us of our tunnel vision. While 14 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,360 we are limited in what we can do, we pray in solidarity for those who are 15 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:33,439 trying to survive in places that have been devastated by severe storms, are in 16 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:37,600 hostile military conquest, and facing extreme poverty. 17 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:42,079 God, we seek a world that is built upon peace, hope, and love. We commit to 18 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:46,560 collaborate with you and standing up, speaking out, and risking much in order 19 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:51,600 to be in the places of injustice, and to call for a new kind of world. We dream 20 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,600 of a world where all people are accepted regardless of the color of their skin, 21 00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:00,240 their sexuality, their age, their ability, their views, or their religion. 22 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,479 We long for a time when walls come down and hands reach out. We ache for a world 23 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:08,800 where our lives are enhanced by difference and inclusion rather than 24 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:13,280 threatened by them. Until that day comes and your kingdom reigns on earth, we 25 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:18,560 will keep praying and we will keep working. We give our lives to you and to 26 00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,599 our neighbors in the extension of loving embrace. Amen. 27 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:27,120 » Amen.

I just wanted to invite everyone out. I have a few a couple of 189 00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:54,320 slides to show with you. I thought would share this year's commercial.

It's a huge 191 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:04,160 event that we do and it takes a lot of people, committees, the city, the 192 00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:07,800 county, um and all of our students that come out as well. 193 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:18,399 Join us Saturday, September 26 for the 17th annual Celebration of Nations in 194 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:23,440 downtown Raleigh. >> Kicks on Route 66.

Learn more at nations.mst.edu. 200 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:49,360 » Um, you can also go to the nations.mst.edu 201 00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:53,759 to look at the schedule. There's a major schedule of events. It's being updated 202 00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:58,160 every I feel like every minute at this point as more students are back in town 203 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:03,040 and they're like, "Oh gosh, Celebration Nations." Um we will have our annual 204 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:07,679 STEM around the globe in the kids area and we have about 300 prizes to give 205 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:12,799 away to our students this year when they complete um the passport.

Um I just wanted to bring up that the lineup 208 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:28,960 will actually happen um along Main Street and then it won't start until 6th 209 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:33,760 then Maine. uh lineup will begin at 9:30 in the morning and the students uh the 210 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,919 walkers will walk all the way through and straight to the stage where the MC 211 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,080 will be there waiting for them. So that should be a much smoother transition, 212 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,600 but we're really excited about the event this year and it's just right around the 213 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:50,400 corner. I wanted to invite everyone to come out and support Celebration of 214 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:53,600 Nations. >> Any questions? 215 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,280 » Could you repeat those dates? The date, please. 216 00:17:53,919 --> 00:17:59,120 » Yeah, September 26th. >> Okay. Thank you. Yeah, of course. 217 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:04,320 » Courtney, do you mind sharing the presentation and video that you had with 218 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,840 us so we can provide it to council as it didn't show on our monitors? I sure 219 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:11,200 will. And we can also hopefully share that also on social media. 220 00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:14,000 » Okay, that'd be great. Um, who do I send it to? 221 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,600 » If you want to send that to Lori. >> Okay, I'll take care of it. Thank you so 222 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:21,320 much and thank you for your time. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 223 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,280 » It is the moment. All 224 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:42,080 right. Next item we have on the agenda is a public hearing in the first reading 225 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:47,520 for regarding the fiscal year 2027 budget 2027 sewer fees. We'll be hearing 226 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:51,039 from city administrator Mr. Keith Riceberg. You have the floor, sir. 227 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:55,120 » Thank you, mayor. Um, I first want to acknowledge it's always a great, you 228 00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:58,799 know, way of starting the budget public hearing to have items that precede it 229 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,600 where you're having the whole room, you know, recognizing young adults and 230 00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:07,200 having standing ovations. So, I'm certain everyone will give the budget 231 00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:12,080 message also a standing ovation when we're done. 232 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:18,400 So tonight's um public hearing is for the presentation of the fiscal 20 year 7 233 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:23,280 budget as well as the increase in uh rates associated with the adoption of 234 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:29,280 the budget. The budget as it has been presented to the city council across all 235 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:36,000 funds anticipates revenues in excess of $48 million and on the expenditure side 236 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:41,520 has over $51 million of proposed expenses. The expenditures do exceed the 237 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:46,160 revenues as the city is continuing a planned spendown of our fund balance 238 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:50,320 that is associated with capital improvement projects. The budget as it 239 00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:54,640 is being brought forward is in compliance with legal requirements and 240 00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:59,600 consistent with the past approaches for the city's budget. 241 00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:04,640 The listing of the city's nine funds is shown in the budget message along with a 242 00:20:01,919 --> 00:20:08,880 detailed explanation of the key actions that will be achieved with this year's 243 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:13,120 budget as part of the overall budget plan. 244 00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:16,640 The budget as it is presented does address several of city council's 245 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:21,760 priorities as reflected through resolution 2093. 246 00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:26,559 Specifically, the budget includes a 5% increase for our employees starting in 247 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:31,840 October. The intent with this wage adjustment being to make the city more 248 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:35,840 competitive in our efforts in hiring key positions. One of the challenges the 249 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:40,400 city has had over the past years is finding employees and filling positions. 250 00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:45,440 So, we're hoping that this adjustment starts to address that. Recognizing that 251 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:51,120 our employees are responsible for the delivery of services to our citizen, the 252 00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:55,280 budget does include funding to develop a compensation plan that will allow the 253 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:59,520 city over time to improve the compensation and benefits for our 254 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:05,039 employees. Again, our goal is to be competitive so that we can fill and 255 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:08,480 retain our quality employees. The budget does undertake a number of 256 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:14,480 capital improvements and one-time projects. These improvements range from 257 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:20,159 needed improvements here at city hall to uh the rehab of the runway and taxiway 258 00:21:17,919 --> 00:21:25,200 at the airport to various street improvement projects. One of the largest 259 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:30,640 of those projects being the RA storm sewer reconstruction. 260 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:35,280 The budget as presented does reflect the anticipated revenue to be res to be 261 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:41,200 received from the approval of Proposition S. This reverses a trend of 262 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:47,120 the center pulling funds from the general fund and actually starts to uh 263 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:51,679 contribute funds back to the general fund. The budget does include funding 264 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:56,240 for the planning efforts to reimagine the natiatorum moving forward in the 265 00:21:53,760 --> 00:22:00,400 coming year. However, what is not reflected in the budget is the 266 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:04,880 anticipated interfund loan for the near-term capital improvements that we 267 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:08,799 expect to be made at the center. The budget also does not reflect the 268 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:13,600 financing that is expected to fund the natiatorum improvements as those 269 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:17,760 projects would be incorporated in the budget through a future budget 270 00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:21,360 amendment. The budget was reviewed and discussed 271 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:27,520 with the finance and audit committee on August 18th and with the full council at 272 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:31,760 a public meeting on August 24th. Tonight's public hearing is again to 273 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:36,000 also receive comments on the anticipated rate increases associated with the 274 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:41,039 budget, specifically the budget anticipated to rate adjustments. The 275 00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:45,840 sewer fund anticipates a rate increase effective January 1st, 2027. 276 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:50,559 The ordinance to implement the sewer rate increase is on the agenda for 277 00:22:47,679 --> 00:22:54,720 action later this evening. the user rate increases 10 cents per thousand gallons 278 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:59,360 and the service availability fee increase um adjustment between the two 279 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:05,280 of those will increase the average household sewer bill by $140 per month. 280 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:11,039 Also, with the budget, we're anticipating environmental services rate 281 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:16,159 increases being effective January 1st, 2027. The ordinance that uh will 282 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:20,240 implement those rates will be brought forward after the adoption of the 283 00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:24,240 budget. Again, the average increase to our residential household for the 284 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:30,799 environmental service adjustments will be approximately $2 per month. 285 00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:36,000 These rate increases are small increases with the intent to be make to make 286 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:40,640 smaller regular rate adjustments as opposed to larger periodic increases. 287 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:45,919 the adoption of the ordinance appropriating um this the approving the 288 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:51,039 budget does appropriate the funds as outlined in the budget and in accordance 289 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:55,520 with the city's purchasing and procurement guidelines. The council will 290 00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:00,480 still be required to approve contracts and other projects throughout the course 291 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:05,280 of the year. I do want to recognize and thank the department directors as well 292 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:09,679 as our finance staff for the work to present this budget, you know, for the 293 00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:14,080 council's consideration. We'll be glad to answer any questions council may have 294 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:19,360 regarding the budget as well as any questions that are raised by the public. 295 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:23,520 Final reminder is tonight is the first reading of the ordinance to adopt the 296 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:29,200 budget. The final reading and adoption is set to occur on September 21st. So 297 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:33,919 there are time know there is time if council has questions that you want to 298 00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:39,600 ask following tonight's meeting please bring those questions to us with that 299 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:42,880 mayor we'll be glad to hear any concerns or comments from the public. 300 00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:47,120 » I was pretty sure that I did open the public hearing but I always like to 301 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,919 check and double check and say we will now open the public hearing in case I 302 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:54,320 didn't do it the first time. The public hearing is now open. Um, is there anyone 303 00:24:52,720 --> 00:25:00,360 in the audience who would like to give testimony or support in opposition or 304 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:00,360 for 305 00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:06,200 anyone would like to speak? You have three minutes to speak. 306 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:12,480 Making sure that I'm given the opportunity for someone to come up come 307 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:16,400 forward. Okay. Hearing the seeing that there's no 308 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,720 one coming forward, we'll move on. Is there any other questions or comments 309 00:25:18,159 --> 00:25:24,320 from council? Yes, sir. 310 00:25:22,159 --> 00:25:30,480 » Keith, I just wanted to ask you this. I So, you mentioned Prop S. When does the 311 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:35,200 city start receiving those funds? >> So, the city has given notice to the 312 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:41,279 state um of the passage of that ballot initiative. We are and expecting that 313 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:48,960 the collection of that tax revenue will start January 1st in terms of collection 314 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:55,120 by the um vendors in the community and the city will not actually receive any 315 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:58,000 funds until March of 2027 >> and that's reflected in this budget. 316 00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:01,240 » That is correct. >> Thank you. 317 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,840 » Yes, sir. >> Um Keith had a question. This may be 318 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:15,279 more appropriate to bring up at the sewer um uh fee increase, but on page 68 319 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:20,320 on the budget, it deals with the sewer fund and it shows that the revenue is 320 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:26,960 about 7 million and the expenditure is 6.5 million. Um first of all, I'm 321 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:32,080 assuming that assumes the um increase in fees. I believe you already confirmed 322 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:35,039 that. With that being said, in the sewer uh on page 139, this is where I'm not 323 00:26:33,679 --> 00:26:40,559 sure I can talk about this later if you prefer. It it mentions that that still 324 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:46,320 considers deficit spending in that packet. And I was I wasn't sure 325 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:51,360 how that comment on page 139 reflects, unless I misunderstand the numbers. Um, 326 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:54,960 so on page 139 it says this increase still requires deficit spending in the 327 00:26:53,120 --> 00:27:00,080 sewer fund by about $100,000, 328 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:05,279 but then in the budget itself it looks like we're about $500,000 329 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:08,600 over in revenue. Am I misunderstanding something there? 330 00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:16,600 I'm gonna let Darren speak to his cover memo, but I'm gonna 331 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,960 go to 332 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,799 again the sewer fund. 333 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,640 I believe 334 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:36,200 I'm gonna look to Stephanie if she has the page handy. 335 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:42,640 All right. funds. I don't have the page number on the 336 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,840 sewer fund right now. >> Oh, sorry. 337 00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:46,840 » Bear with me. 338 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:55,279 » Stephanie, do you have the cover sheet for the sewer fun? 339 00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,440 » So, right there. >> Yeah. 340 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,440 » This is misprint on page 68. 341 00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:06,880 » We got two different numbers for revenue. 342 00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:14,640 » Okay. Look at page 65, Nathan. Page on the 343 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:20,080 budget, I guess, in the packet. >> So, yeah, page 344 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:22,720 » So, page 65 has the listing of the sewer. 345 00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:26,799 » That's 5.3 million. 346 00:28:24,159 --> 00:28:31,600 » It looks like 68 is the the state. >> Yeah. Where we didn't get the number 347 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:36,559 corrected in my budget message. So, the table has the actual numbers. So 348 00:28:34,159 --> 00:28:44,600 the the correct amount >> is 5.3 of revenue. 349 00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:44,600 » Correct. And the expense is the 6.497. 350 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:52,399 » You were referencing I thought back on the ordinance. 351 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:56,000 » Um it's like three pages further. Page 68. 352 00:28:55,679 --> 00:29:01,919 » All right. >> It gives a breakdown of sewer fund. 353 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:05,679 » Yeah. All right. So the table has the correct numbers. 354 00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:10,720 » Okay. >> So the the misper is on page 68. 355 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,799 » I think he's referring to page 95 >> that represents 356 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,480 » on 68 it says >> but the 100,000 deficit is also on page 357 00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:20,559 95. >> Okay. 358 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:26,159 » I mean without checking numbers my guess is the the numbers in the in the memo 359 00:29:23,919 --> 00:29:30,559 » is probably before the fund transfers >> the second the expenditure. I mean if if 360 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:34,640 you look at page 95 >> excess revenues over expenditures is 361 00:29:32,399 --> 00:29:38,720 520,000 >> but that's before the fund transfers to 362 00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:42,559 you know to to the several funds so that's why it's showing a a deficit of 363 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,159 109,000 >> okay thank you 364 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:53,520 » y >> on page 65 there's two revenue line 365 00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:59,039 items that one of those >> oh for the environmental services fun 366 00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:01,760 And that same number is repeated on 68. So maybe it is accurate for 367 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,919 environmental services but not for sewer. 368 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:09,679 » That's correct. >> Can you say one more time which one's 369 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:14,960 correct? >> The environmental services one. 370 00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:21,480 » So if you compare it to page 95, the total revenue on page 95 is the 371 00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:21,480 sewer revenue. 372 00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:25,960 » The top section under revenue 373 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:36,200 All right. So the 7 million is 374 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:44,240 » so the revenue is 7 million >> but then there's funds transfers. Okay. 375 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,039 » But then the fund Okay. That's what Darren was saying of the 376 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:55,360 » and then on page 98 is the environmental services which matches the table like 377 00:30:52,159 --> 00:30:59,919 she's indicated. So what is the revenue for the 378 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:04,679 environmental services as reflected on the cover sheet? 379 00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:04,679 » Uh 7,18,182. 380 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,760 » So in the >> That's for sewer. 381 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,480 » That's for sewer. >> All right. And what is it for the 382 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,480 environmental services? >> 5,356,500. 383 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:21,120 All right. So, in the table at the front of the 384 00:31:18,159 --> 00:31:25,360 budget message, we reflected the sewer number or the environmental services 385 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,799 number in this >> sewer revenues. 386 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:33,080 » So, the sewer fund was the incorrect one on that on the cover page. 387 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:40,799 » Yes. >> So, with that being said, then the sewer 388 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:44,880 fund is not a deficit. Well, if you look at page 95, okay, 389 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:48,960 » the fund itself is not a deficit. >> Okay. 390 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:51,919 » The revenue before expenditures has a revenue increase of 520,000. 391 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,080 » Gotcha. >> By the time that the transfers are made 392 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:59,840 to the the funds that the sewer department helps fund, engineering, 393 00:31:58,559 --> 00:32:04,799 general fund contribution, and things like that, that is where the $109,000 394 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:09,519 deficit takes place. That brings the fund balance down 109,000. Okay? So, the 395 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,320 cash balance will be down 109,000. And Darren said all that. My brain was just 396 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,399 taking a long time to catch up. I'm I'm sorry. I appreciate connecting all those 397 00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:19,799 numbers. >> He prepped me. He prepped me. Fine. 398 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,799 » Okay. Thank you. 399 00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:23,960 Was a good catch. 400 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:32,519 » Excellent question. Still open for you council to any other questions or 401 00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:32,519 comments? 402 00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:38,000 » I I did have one more mayor. >> Absolutely sir. 403 00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:42,080 » Um so on page 69 uh this is more of a general question. And so there's a 404 00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:47,600 cemetery trust fund and it says the revenues that come in is 40,000. Our 405 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:53,360 expenditures is $5,000, but we have almost $500,000 in [snorts] um the 406 00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:57,519 ending fund balance there. And I wasn't sure like for how much we're spending on 407 00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:01,919 an annual basis. I wasn't sure why we kept so much in there if if that's just 408 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,760 how that fund works. But I mean it's enough for like a hundred years at 409 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,960 $5,000 a year that we have to save in that fund. So, I wasn't sure what that 410 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:15,200 generally is used for or if this was a oddly low year of expenditures. 411 00:33:11,919 --> 00:33:17,600 » It varies between the 5,000 or 50,000 depends on the project or the need in 412 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,840 the cemetery. Okay. >> So, the cemetery expenses are do not 413 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,799 include any labor for the cost or the operation of the cemetery. That is all 414 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,360 funded through the parks division. >> Okay. 415 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:31,360 » This is a fund that has to have a twothirds majority vote for council 416 00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:35,600 because it is basically a trust fund. So, we had did not start putting money 417 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:38,960 back into that trust fund for probably the first five to 10 years that I've 418 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:42,399 been here. Okay. And so, we are then trying to rebuild that so that there's 419 00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:47,360 any major improvements. This has to sustain its own operations or a new wing 420 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,240 or different things like that that would take place. 421 00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:54,159 » So, we So, you feel that that amount reflects an appropriate amount to be in 422 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:59,159 there for a larger project that may be needed down the down the line? Yes. 423 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,159 » Okay. Thank you. 424 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:10,159 Yes, sir. You got the floor. >> Yeah, thank you. Um, page 88 under 425 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:16,000 animal control expenditures under capital expenditures, there's a 426 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:21,879 line called uh grant expenses. What What is a grant 427 00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:21,879 expense? 428 00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:28,639 So that is the grant and donations account because they typically do not 429 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:32,560 receive federal or state grants. We instead of adding another line for audit 430 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:36,480 compliance, we included that. So if people have donations or if they're 431 00:34:34,879 --> 00:34:40,800 going to some people will donate money for food like dog food, animal food, 432 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:45,760 that's where that account is for. That's why it's so small because of the coming 433 00:34:43,359 --> 00:34:51,720 year it's $2,000. >> Okay. Thank you. 434 00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,720 Any 435 00:34:54,079 --> 00:35:03,359 further questions from council? Any further questions from councel? 436 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,640 Hear. No further further questions, comments. We'll now close the public 437 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:12,320 hearing. Um, can I have a further reading from our attorney? 438 00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:16,000 Bill number 202621, an ordinance adopting an annual budget 439 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:21,520 for the fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2026 and appropriating funds pursuant 440 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:26,079 there too. All right. Next on the agenda, we have old business and we have 441 00:35:23,359 --> 00:35:32,599 one bill for final reading and we will hear from community developer director, 442 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,599 Mrs. Don Bell. 443 00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:50,480 Okay. So, this is for the voluntary rental inspection program uh that we 444 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:54,079 already talked about the last city council meeting. So, I'll try to go 445 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:59,599 pretty quick. Um the comprehensive plan um under goal 446 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:04,480 to highquality housing and neighborhoods um called out doing a rental inspection 447 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:08,800 program to promote safe rental housing inventory. Um, in addition to that, 448 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,440 we've had many inquiries from prospective tenants and families, 449 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:17,280 especially at the beginning of semesters. Uh, parents and students call 450 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:23,839 to find out if there's a list of um, rental units that are certified. 451 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:29,359 Also, Missouri S&T called um the fraternity sorority houses um, are not 452 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,640 regulated by S&T, so they asked if we had a rental inspection program and 453 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:37,680 asked if we could help them out with that. [clears throat] 454 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:43,359 Who can participate? Owners, property man managers of single family, town 455 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:47,119 homes, apartments, group residences, the fraternity and sority houses that I 456 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:53,040 talked about, rooming, boarding houses, and um other similar residences like uh 457 00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:57,280 religious homes and that sort of thing. Um again, the participation is 458 00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:02,480 voluntary. It's not required. Uh there's no penalty for not participating, but it 459 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:06,560 will be incentivized. Um the participation will be incentivized by 460 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:10,839 including it on on a list on our website of uh certified properties. 461 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:17,440 Uh so the property owner or manager will apply. They'll pay the fee. Um we'll 462 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:21,119 provide an inspection. We'll provide either provide them a list of 463 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:26,400 deficiencies to fix or a certificate of inspection and that certificate will be 464 00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:30,160 good for two years. And on the checklist there's basic 465 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:35,359 health and safety issues. I won't read through all those. We talked about those 466 00:37:31,359 --> 00:37:38,560 last time, but um just basic safety uh things that you would look for, you 467 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:45,520 know, as a parent of a student coming in or as a as a new tenant um to make you 468 00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:50,720 feel comfortable to live in that space. And just here are some of the pictures 469 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:54,800 that that I showed last time. And does anybody have any questions? 470 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,240 » Yes, sir. >> Hi, Don. Thank you. I received three 471 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:02,880 questions from a constituent, so I'd like to read them in order if I can. 472 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:08,960 » Sure. Um the first one was will the same fee apply for renewals as for second 473 00:38:05,839 --> 00:38:14,240 attempt um reinspections? In other words, when it when the property is up 474 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:18,960 after its two years have expired, um will there'll be the same fee schedule 475 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:25,359 applying to as as would apply for those that failed the first inspection? 476 00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:30,640 » Well, so the two years um would be for ones that didn't fail. So, um, so yeah, 477 00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:34,880 so the same fee would apply as if it were a new application because in in 478 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:39,280 theory in two years, you know, smoke detectors could be pulled down by 479 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:43,359 students or, you know, a lot of different things could happen. 480 00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:47,240 » Okay, thank you. Um, the second one, uh, in section 20-58A, 481 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,839 um, it mentions that there could be revocation for cause, right? You've got 482 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:57,200 24 months where you have the certificate, but it could be pulled, um, 483 00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:00,960 if there was a reason to do so. Um, and this constituent wanted to know what 484 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:07,547 would that process look like maybe as far as ascertaining cause um, and what 485 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:11,440 kind of communications might follow from [snorts] that that decision. 486 00:39:09,359 --> 00:39:15,920 » Sure. Uh, the way that I see that would be a tenant might call and say, you 487 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:20,240 know, the the landlord came in and did some repairs and, you know, painted my 488 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:24,160 window shut. Uh, that sort of thing. Um and so then we would reach out to that 489 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:30,079 property owner and give them a chance to correct this to correct the situation. 490 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:34,560 » Okay. Thank you. Um finally, uh what happens what what do you anticipate 491 00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:37,760 happening to certify properties if you were to change the checklist while they 492 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,880 were still in their window of certification? Would they be 493 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,119 grandfathered in? Would there be an automatic reinspection? What do you 494 00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:47,440 think? >> Uh they would be grandfathered in. I 495 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:53,440 don't anticipate changing that checklist often, if at all. Um, but and I wouldn't 496 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:56,320 say within, you know, a certain window, we probably wouldn't do that at all, but 497 00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:00,160 but yeah, they would be grandfathered. We wouldn't require them to let us come 498 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,079 back in to to check. >> Okay. All right. That's all I have. 499 00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:07,119 Thank you. >> Thank you. 500 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:12,800 » Your first question there, because in the exhibit B fee, it says initial 501 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:17,920 inspection fee $40 flat, reinspection fee 25. So after the two years, is it 502 00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:21,920 back to the 40 year 40? >> Correct. the 25 503 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,920 » the 25's 25 is if there is a deficiency and we have to go back out in that same 504 00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:26,480 time period. >> I see what you're asking there, Andrew. 505 00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:31,040 The So, >> yes. 506 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:33,839 » Okay. Thank you for the clarification. >> Yes, ma'am. 507 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,800 » Um I just want to make sure will we be getting the presentation that Don 508 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,920 presented to. I just wanted to make sure that there was nothing on the 509 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:43,280 presentation that we didn't see that was already in our packet just because we 510 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,359 couldn't see the presentation to follow along with what you were saying. 511 00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:47,520 » Oh, I'm sorry. >> No, you're [laughter] introducing it to 512 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,760 all of us afterwards. That would be great. I just want to 513 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,079 » Yeah, sure. I can send out. Yeah, I can send it out. 514 00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:58,000 » Um, and then my second question was in terms of sanitation on exhibit A, um, 515 00:40:55,359 --> 00:41:01,359 where where would black mold fall under because I see that there's like, you 516 00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:04,560 know, appears free of rodent inspection and then no litter, garbage, or waste, 517 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:08,319 but I'm not seeing one that's that's like for 518 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:12,880 » for that specifically. Um, >> so that's not something that we are 519 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:17,760 certified to actually inspect for. Um, I would anticipate that if we saw an issue 520 00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:22,640 that was um, really egregious that we would ask that landlord to get an 521 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:26,720 inspection done.

He'll be speaking to approve the adjustment of sewer rates for 2026 666 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:35,040 2027 budget years. >> So included in the uh budget was a sewer 667 00:51:31,599 --> 00:51:39,200 increase. Um the proposed increase um would be a dollar increase on the 668 00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:44,960 service availability fee from 14 to $15 a month and uh the rate for the per 669 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:50,240 thousand would go from 675 to 685. So that's a 10-cent increase. Um and then 670 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:53,440 the other rate classes on the uh service availability fee would go up 671 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:59,440 accordingly. Again um this increase for the average 672 00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:05,760 user would go from $41 a month to 4240. So, a $140 increase. Uh, so in your 673 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:10,640 packet is a redline version of the ordinance that's being proposed. Uh, and 674 00:52:08,319 --> 00:52:16,000 also included in your packet was a a rate study of some peers and some uh 675 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:20,800 neighboring communities.

So, staff is requesting the first 677 00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:28,800 reading of the ordinance to adjust the sewer rates for the 2627 budget year. 678 00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:33,200 And I will mention this uh the intent is for this ordinance to go into effect uh 679 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:39,480 the first billing after October one. So it would show up when uh residents 680 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,480 receive their bills in November. 681 00:52:39,839 --> 00:52:45,400 » So is open for questions, comments from Mr. Prior. 682 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:54,960 » Yes sir. >> Be an example of a nonmetered 683 00:52:51,760 --> 00:53:00,480 customer like what's and why I guess in those cases. So, we have a handful of uh 684 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:03,920 residents that aren't on city water that they still get city sewer service. So, 685 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,440 we have no way of metering, you know, how much water they're using. 686 00:53:06,559 --> 00:53:12,800 » Thank you. >> I'm I'm one of those examples because I 687 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:19,880 get my water from public water supply district number two, 688 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:19,880 but I get sewer service from the city. 689 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:25,839 » Thank you. [snorts] 690 00:53:23,359 --> 00:53:27,920 » Yes, ma'am. How when was the last time this was raised? 691 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:34,720 » Last year. >> So, is it like a gradual increase? 692 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:37,680 » That's the plan. Yes. >> You want to speak, sir? 693 00:53:35,599 --> 00:53:42,720 » Yeah. Darren, can I just confirm? You indicated the service availability fee 694 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:45,599 goes from $14 to 15. >> Correct. 695 00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:48,480 » Okay. The ordinance that's in the packet does not reflect that. 696 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:53,200 » We'll make sure and get that fixed. >> Yeah, that's why I wanted to raise that. 697 00:53:50,400 --> 00:54:01,400 So where it shows the service availability fee the per month as 14 698 00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:01,400 that should be 150. 699 00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:17,160 » Oh yes we will get that corrected. The rest of them got updated but yeah. Okay. 700 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,440 Any 701 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:26,359 other questions or comments from council? 702 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:32,800 » Any other questions or comments for council? 703 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:37,920 » Thank you very much. Can we have a press reading from our city lawyer? Bill 704 00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:41,760 number 2026-18, an ordinance amending certain sections 705 00:54:39,599 --> 00:54:45,440 of chapter 35 of the general ordinances of the city of Raleigh, Missouri, known 706 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:49,839 as the code of the city of Raleigh, Missouri, relating to sewers and water. 707 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:55,280 » Thank you very much, sir. Next, we have a resol resolution to authorize the 708 00:54:52,640 --> 00:55:00,000 execution of task order number three. Again, we'll be hearing from 709 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,960 public work director, Mr. Durham Prior. Sir, 710 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:05,920 » so staff is proposing the approval of task order number three with HDR 711 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:10,000 Engineering to provide professional services for preliminary design um and 712 00:55:08,559 --> 00:55:13,680 other services for the move transportation development district. Um 713 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:18,240 that task order is included in your pass in your packet. Um this task order will 714 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:24,800 involve three conceptual design alternatives and preliminary design u 715 00:55:21,119 --> 00:55:29,119 for up to uh two TDD priority projects. Uh the cost of this task order is 716 00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:34,400 $685,331.50. 50 cents. Um again, the TD board has 717 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:38,960 agreed to um to fund this project. Um and the reason council has to take 718 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:44,640 action is um we are contracted by the TDD board to serve as a fiscal agent. So 719 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:49,200 um you know this board um approves all contracts and makes payments to 720 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:54,240 contractors and consultants and then is reimbursed by the TDD. So staff is 721 00:55:52,319 --> 00:56:00,599 requesting approval of a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute task 722 00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:00,599 order number three with HDR engineering 723 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:06,599 is open for questions, comments from council. 724 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:12,720 » Darren, would you be willing to give kind of an idea of what what exactly the 725 00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:17,839 TDD is and >> kind of how that works in relation to 726 00:56:15,119 --> 00:56:23,200 us? So we're the funding agent, but >> so so the transportation development 727 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:27,520 district is a quasi governmental board um that is made up of so the the mayor 728 00:56:25,734 --> 00:56:32,000 [snorts] is the chairman of that board. They had their annual meeting tonight. 729 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:37,520 Mayor was like the chairman. Um Keith is the executive director. Uh Jason 730 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:44,319 Shinnfield is on the board and I forget is he secretary I think. Um Fred Stone 731 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:49,119 from Missouri S&T is on the board and is treasurer I believe. Um and then Joey 732 00:56:47,599 --> 00:56:53,280 Oxshire, the presiding commissioner of Phelps County 733 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:59,760 vice president, right? I think I got those right. Um so uh they're 734 00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:05,839 essentially a funding mechanism. So the the TDD is an overlay uh sales tax on 735 00:57:04,319 --> 00:57:12,720 most of the commercial property in Raleigh, not all. um that was formed 736 00:57:08,559 --> 00:57:17,040 back in 2015 I believe was was the year uh so that's what paid for uh you know 737 00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:21,200 the highway 72 extension for example you know some of those major capital 738 00:57:18,319 --> 00:57:25,359 projects so uh they issued bonds and then uh collect sales tax to pay those 739 00:57:23,359 --> 00:57:27,440 bonds off >> is that 740 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:31,040 » I think so >> okay any other questions if I left 741 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:35,920 something out just let me know >> and I guess of this because this is a a 742 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:40,880 large amount so I I I I read through it But generally what what are we expecting 743 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:43,359 to get from this this plan? Like what what are they hoping to accomplish with 744 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:47,520 this? >> So again, it'd be three, you know, three 745 00:57:45,119 --> 00:57:51,280 alternatives for for two projects. So you know, they'll come up, you know, you 746 00:57:49,359 --> 00:57:55,440 know, the plan is be able to at the end of this to have some public meetings 747 00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:58,880 for, you know, the public to weigh in on which of the three alternatives for 748 00:57:57,119 --> 00:58:01,599 projects they prefer. [snorts] >> I think you want to speak, Keith. 749 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:10,720 » Oh, sorry. So again, the move TDD is advancing some 750 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:14,960 regional infrastructure projects. To Darren's point, right now, again, we've 751 00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:20,880 moved forward with the feasibility study, looking at the larger regional 752 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:26,720 improvements, specifically anticipating um focusing on the 10th Street overpass 753 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:31,200 and Westside outer road projects as ones that will likely move forward. To 754 00:58:29,119 --> 00:58:35,839 Darren's point, the goal is to advance concepts that will allow us to start 755 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:41,599 public engagement about how to move those projects forward. Um, again, the 756 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:47,680 investment in infrastructure that we're trying to achieve through the move TDD 757 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:51,200 is intended to leverage and facilitate private development, private investment 758 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:56,079 as well. >> Thank you for the specifics. That kind 759 00:58:52,480 --> 00:59:01,839 of helps with that. I appreciate it. Any 760 00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:06,119 further questions, council? Any further questions, council? 761 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:12,960 » All right. Well, thank you very much, sir. Um, the floor is now open for a 762 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:17,359 motion. >> I always miss that one. It's okay. Yeah, 763 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:25,119 we're good. resolution. >> Um, we'll have the city attorney to to 764 00:59:22,799 --> 00:59:28,720 do a a reading. >> A resolution authorizing the mayor to 765 00:59:27,119 --> 00:59:32,720 execute a certain agreement between the city of Raleigh, Missouri and HDR 766 00:59:30,799 --> 00:59:34,720 Engineering, Inc. [snorts] >> All right. Now, the floor is open for a 767 00:59:34,079 --> 00:59:39,359 motion. >> I'll make a motion to approve. 768 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:42,760 » Second move and proper second floor is open for discussion. 769 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:50,640 Hearing no further discussion, we'll move on to a voice vote. 770 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:54,160 All in favor say I. >> I. 771 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:57,520 » All oppose say nay. The eyes have it. Pass uns ladies and 772 00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:02,480 gentlemen. Next item again, we're hearing from 773 00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:06,160 director Mr. Darren Brier. And he'll be talking about bill number 2026-9. You 774 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:10,960 have the floor, sir. >> So staff is approing an approval and 775 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:14,559 agreement with Johnson Controls uh for repairs of the center. Included in this 776 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:20,720 proposal, repairs the roof, HVAC systems, building envelope, uh, window 777 01:00:17,359 --> 01:00:24,640 film, uh, structural, uh, controls and utility metering. Uh, not included in 778 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:31,599 this proposal were upgrades to the interior exterior lighting. So, the city 779 01:00:27,839 --> 01:00:36,799 did work with a a different um contractor consultant in the beginning 780 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:42,400 to develop a you know, a preliminary scope for this project. Um, we are a 781 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:46,240 little over the original budget we had planned. Um, and so I'll talk to that a 782 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:48,480 little bit here. Of course, you can you guys see the presentation? 783 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:52,079 » All right. >> Half of us can half can. 784 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:56,079 » Okay. All right. >> There's monitors. 785 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:59,520 » Thank you. So, so again this will be a 786 01:00:57,359 --> 01:01:04,720 comprehensive upgrade of you know replacement of HBA systems you know 787 01:01:01,359 --> 01:01:09,040 building automation um roofing structural um you know Johnson 788 01:01:07,359 --> 01:01:14,240 Controls intent is to hire locally whenever possible um that you know makes 789 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:19,040 a positive impact on the community and they'll be able to deliver the 790 01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:24,720 improvements in a timely manner. So you know one of the focus areas is the 791 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:29,280 HBAC system. Um, one of the reasons why this scope, you know, cost grew was the 792 01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:32,799 HVA system was in worse shape than we anticipated. So, as you can see the 793 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:38,640 pictures, these units are are definitely aging and our end of life. 794 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:42,720 You know, again, we've got roof leaks that have, you know, we've got to fix 795 01:01:40,319 --> 01:01:49,599 the the roof and repair it. Um, we've got leaks over top the pool area even. 796 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:52,880 Uh, and then, you know, we do have some structural issues. We've got some 797 01:01:51,359 --> 01:01:57,040 settlement and some cracks as you can see in the pictures. You know, we've got 798 01:01:54,559 --> 01:02:01,359 some some walls shifting and some repair work to do there. 799 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:05,920 » So, you know, we're anticipating 12 months of work from when we started, you 800 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:09,200 know, original design on this. Uh so, we're showing, you know, if everything 801 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:13,640 goes good that this project will be completed, you know, the end of June 802 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,640 next year. 803 01:02:14,559 --> 01:02:20,799 And so, uh, the biggest differences between the original scope estimate and 804 01:02:19,119 --> 01:02:26,240 where we ended up was, you know, the HVAC system, um, you know, in the 805 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:32,160 ceiling, we've got, um, six variable error terminal boxes and 23 fan terminal 806 01:02:29,119 --> 01:02:36,079 units, um, that are integral to the HVAC system. Um, you know, we anticipated a 807 01:02:34,799 --> 01:02:40,640 few of them would probably need some repairs. Uh, when we started testing 808 01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:44,720 them, only four of the 29 units were even functioning. Uh so you know when 809 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:49,599 you know we get complaints that there's cold areas and hot areas in the building 810 01:02:46,799 --> 01:02:53,680 that's a good reason why um you know we could replace all the rooftop units and 811 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:58,720 replace all of that and still not going to function properly without replacing 812 01:02:55,200 --> 01:03:02,400 the these other units. Um and then you know original estimates did not 813 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:06,000 anticipate you know the extent of the structural repairs that need to be made. 814 01:03:04,319 --> 01:03:09,839 Um the thought was most of them you know the stuff we were seeing was cosmetic 815 01:03:07,599 --> 01:03:14,079 and when we dug deeper into that that that's not true. We've got some 816 01:03:11,119 --> 01:03:18,000 settlement issues going. So with that, staff is requesting uh the 817 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:23,240 first ring of ordinance authorizing the mayor into agreement with Johnson 818 01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:23,240 Controls for 2,338,131. 819 01:03:24,319 --> 01:03:28,119 Council have any questions? 820 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:33,440 » Yes, sir. >> And the structural, you know, 821 01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:37,359 structural, my hackles go up on that. The [snorts] the bid would include the 822 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:40,960 actual repair of that or just identifying what that issue is? No, it's 823 01:03:39,359 --> 01:03:42,480 » actual repair of the structural issue. Okay, thank you. 824 01:03:41,839 --> 01:03:46,640 » Yep. >> Is this the work we were contractually 825 01:03:44,319 --> 01:03:50,720 obligated with health to do or is it that a little more? 826 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:54,079 » So, so it's the work we were contracted. Yes, we have to do it. Just the price 827 01:03:52,799 --> 01:03:57,440 tags coming in a little higher than we anticipated. 828 01:03:55,760 --> 01:04:00,799 As a matter of fact, the originally we had some some lighting upgrades in there 829 01:03:59,119 --> 01:04:03,639 that we are not going to do as part of this project. [snorts] 830 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:10,844 Darren, would you go back to your schedule, 831 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,844 » please? [snorts] 832 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:18,559 » So, I'm just trying to that [snorts] audit and design on there. 833 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,160 Is that already that's what we're looking at right now? 834 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:23,440 » Yep. >> So, that's where we're at. Okay. 835 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:26,799 » Thank you, >> Council Andrew. I was getting to you, 836 01:04:25,119 --> 01:04:30,880 but yes, you had a floor, sir. Sorry. >> No, no, no. That's it's relevant. I My 837 01:04:29,119 --> 01:04:34,559 question is connected with this. I mean, I think it depends obviously what 838 01:04:32,319 --> 01:04:40,480 happens with the natiatorum redesign, but um what kind of thought has been 839 01:04:37,359 --> 01:04:44,880 given to coordinating that that work with this work? Um would this need to be 840 01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:50,480 completed before we could do the other work or do we just have to wait and see 841 01:04:46,319 --> 01:04:54,160 until that contract is figured out? >> There's this work will be completed 842 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:58,720 before we start any of the work on the niatorum. We won't be far enough along 843 01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:04,400 on that project to to be started when this one completes. Okay, 844 01:05:02,559 --> 01:05:08,880 » Darren, is it fair to say again this work is critical for the operation of 845 01:05:07,119 --> 01:05:11,359 the building as it currently is configured, 846 01:05:09,599 --> 01:05:16,079 » right? And I will say this does not address any of the, you know, pool pack 847 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:19,520 issues, you know, on the natitorium side, you know, this is, you know, 848 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:25,359 outside of some roof repairs, this is 100%, you know, dry side. 849 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:29,280 » Just a follow-up question. So, with um what seems to be basically a complete 850 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:33,359 replacement of the HVAC system, would do you anticipate that because we're 851 01:05:31,359 --> 01:05:38,240 upgrading this 25 years later that we'd also see some efficiency gains and cost 852 01:05:36,079 --> 01:05:41,520 savings as a result of modern more modern equipment? 853 01:05:39,359 --> 01:05:46,000 » Nope. >> I'm going to phone a friend. 854 01:05:42,799 --> 01:05:49,680 » Oh, okay. [laughter] >> So, so we do have representative from 855 01:05:48,319 --> 01:05:53,599 Johnson Controls here tonight. He can answer that question better than me. 856 01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:59,440 Good evening, Jason Myers with Johnson Controls. Um, thanks for your time. We 857 01:05:55,760 --> 01:06:02,880 do anticipate some efficiency gains, not 858 01:06:01,119 --> 01:06:06,720 a substantial amount with some of the mechanical systems. Um, generally in 859 01:06:05,359 --> 01:06:11,599 something like this, the lighting would probably leave put it have a heavier 860 01:06:08,559 --> 01:06:16,400 kind of ROI as far as efficiencies. Um, but certainly there will be some nominal 861 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:22,160 pickup with with the new units. um better control, ability to manage um 862 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:24,079 scheduling and things like that. So there there will be some efficiency 863 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:30,599 pickups. >> Is that just because this is such a 864 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:30,599 challenging structure to regulate? 865 01:06:30,799 --> 01:06:36,400 » I I mean I'm just curious because I mean I'm not this isn't a a questioning. I'm 866 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:39,280 just I I don't know how these things work and I would think that after all 867 01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:42,000 these years that things would get easier, but is it just because the 868 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:46,640 nature of the building is what it is that it's hard to realize those 869 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:51,760 efficiencies? No, it's there is certainly going to be, but 870 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:57,119 equipment like an air handler, a boiler, and things like that, like a payback on 871 01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:00,160 a boiler is generally 40 plus years um you know, or somewhere in that range, 872 01:06:58,319 --> 01:07:05,280 right? It's a pretty long payback um just because of the the use versus the 873 01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:09,440 the efficiency gains. Air handlers are a longer payback as well versus a LED 874 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:13,359 light bulb is, you know, >> 10 years or less generally for something 875 01:07:11,359 --> 01:07:18,400 like that. So just because they're large high energy using systems um there will 876 01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:22,880 be there will be pickup that you'll you'll realize on the utility side um 877 01:07:21,119 --> 01:07:26,079 nothing substantial worth like monitoring measuring 878 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,359 » um anything like that. >> Okay. So 879 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:31,880 » just thought I'd >> Yeah. Yeah. No good questions. 880 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,880 » Yep. 881 01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,680 » Yes ma'am. >> Hate to ask this again but Darren, do 882 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,240 you mind sending us your presentation after tonight's meeting so we can see 883 01:07:39,039 --> 01:07:44,640 what you put up there? >> No problem. Thank you. 884 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:49,599 » Yes, sir. >> So, to kind of Andrew's point, he kind 885 01:07:47,039 --> 01:07:55,520 of mentioned the Prop S side. What is the repayment source plan for this loan 886 01:07:52,799 --> 01:07:59,760 that we assume to have? I know Prop S is coming in. I know that this is has 887 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:04,960 triggered or was going to trigger Phelps Health uh paying essentially lease 888 01:08:02,319 --> 01:08:09,280 payment. I I I don't know if we had a chance to follow up on whether that has 889 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:12,480 already been triggered or not. Um, but basically how will we plan to repay 890 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:15,280 this? Is that the prop S that's going to be paying this loan back or how's that 891 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:20,080 going to be done? >> I'll let Keith take that one. 892 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:25,679 » So the capital improvements again. So if council approves the $2.3 million 893 01:08:22,799 --> 01:08:31,920 contract, what we are anticipating doing is covering that expense as an interfund 894 01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:38,159 loan between city funds. The intent being that then being repaid through um 895 01:08:35,359 --> 01:08:42,640 again with the reimagining of the Nadiatorum space, we're anticipating 896 01:08:40,319 --> 01:08:47,679 doing a certificate of participation or some type of financing for those 897 01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:51,600 improvements. At that time, this expense would be rolled into that. the inter 898 01:08:49,759 --> 01:08:58,239 fund loan would be paid off and it would be rolled into the larger financing that 899 01:08:54,560 --> 01:09:02,159 we're anticipating occurring um after as we've finalized the planning for the 900 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:06,880 natorium the 901 01:09:04,719 --> 01:09:12,400 uh lease agreement with Phelps Health again we're verifying the language but 902 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:17,440 my recollection was that the um trigger date for the repayment was not tied to 903 01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:22,400 the actual timing of improvements but it was delayed by 6 months 904 01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:27,199 from the lease. So, those payments, the rent payments should have started. We're 905 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:30,759 confirming that um that those have started. 906 01:09:27,759 --> 01:09:30,759 » Okay. 907 01:09:31,679 --> 01:09:37,600 » Does that answer your question? >> I think so. Um the the the the interfund 908 01:09:35,759 --> 01:09:40,960 loan thing I I always need to make sure I get my mind wrapped around that 909 01:09:38,799 --> 01:09:46,159 correctly. So, this loan, will this be an inter fund 910 01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:49,120 loan or we going to be outsourcing this loan? 911 01:09:47,199 --> 01:09:54,560 » All right. And staff's recommendation is to handle this as an interfund loan. We 912 01:09:51,679 --> 01:10:01,840 do have a fund that has the ability to do so. And again, we'd rather 913 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:05,840 pay interest internally versus paying it externally. 914 01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:08,800 » Okay. And then when the then when the natorium occurs, you're saying you're 915 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:11,840 planning on rolling those together and continuing paying those off. Correct. 916 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:16,400 one larger >> we would issue one larger financing for 917 01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:22,480 these improvements as well as the natiatorum that pays off the inter fund 918 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:26,239 loan making that fund whole and then the rent payment from Phelps Health combined 919 01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:30,640 with revenue to be received through Proposition S is what will serve as the 920 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:35,360 debt service payment moving forward. >> So ultimate Prop S is probably the 921 01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:40,880 largest funding source to repay this and any future nitorium work being done. 922 01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:44,120 » Correct. Okay, thank you. 923 01:10:44,239 --> 01:10:50,640 » All of the presentations are showing up online. They're just not showing up in 924 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:54,320 the horsesher so everything they can watch everything that was done and all 925 01:10:52,480 --> 01:10:56,880 the presentations are present on the YouTube channel. 926 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:59,520 » Okay, thank you council. >> We still need to get them to the council 927 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:03,679 though. >> Thank you for that information. Yes. 928 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:07,560 Yes. All right. Questions, comments, council. 929 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:15,040 Questions, comment, councel. Can we have a first reading from my city 930 01:11:11,679 --> 01:11:18,400 attorney? Bill number 2026-9, an ordinance authorizing the mayor to 931 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:22,400 execute a certain agreement between the city of Raleigh, Missouri, and Johnson 932 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:25,600 Controls, Inc. >> Next, we'll be hearing from public work 933 01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:31,199 director, Mr. Darren Prior, and first reading for bill number 202620. 934 01:11:29,199 --> 01:11:35,600 So staffer is proposing approval and agreement with up city uh for deployment 935 01:11:33,679 --> 01:11:41,360 of smart parking sensors and wayfinding app for the downtown area. Uh council 936 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:45,920 received a presentation from up city a while back about this project. Uh so 937 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:50,560 we've been working with up city on a pilot project for over a year now. Um 938 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:54,960 that project seems is going very well. Um so again this this project if you 939 01:11:52,880 --> 01:12:00,159 know do full implementation um would cover Pine Street from 6 to 12 940 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:04,880 all the on street parking and the seven parking lots in the downtown area the 941 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:07,679 city manages. U so staff is proposing to do a three-year agreement with Dub City 942 01:12:06,480 --> 01:12:13,600 because that gives us pretty good discount on the per year cost. Um it 943 01:12:10,480 --> 01:12:17,440 would be $66,88 per year. 944 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:20,480 So staff is [clears throat] recommending the first reading of ordinance to 945 01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:26,480 authorize the mayor agreement with up city for the three years for $200,424. 946 01:12:24,719 --> 01:12:30,320 Is there any questions? >> Oh, 947 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:33,920 » let's start over here. Yes, ma'am. >> Mr. Mayor, do you mind if I I have a few 948 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:36,719 backto-back questions. Is that okay? >> What's that again? 949 01:12:34,719 --> 01:12:38,000 » I I have a few backtoback questions. Is that okay? 950 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,480 » That'll be fine. >> Okay. 951 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,480 » Darren, my first Oh, I guess I should ask, is there an upity representative 952 01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:46,560 here tonight? >> There is not. 953 01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:51,280 » Okay. Uh so my first question is UpCity repeatedly says that their sensors 954 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:56,400 simply do not collect personal data. Um but in 2026 Dublin, Ohio des or sorry 955 01:12:54,239 --> 01:13:00,960 Dublin, Ohio described its Up City installation as quote using camera and 956 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:06,560 microphone sensors that count vehicles by type and direction for parking. End 957 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:11,040 quote. You're proposing 70 Up units and those UpCity units you're proposing um 958 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:16,400 I'm questioning are they camerabased sensors? Do they contain microphones? 959 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:20,560 » They do. And so I think if you remember from the presentation, you know, they're 960 01:13:18,239 --> 01:13:24,560 cameras, but the they are very very low resolution cameras. So you you know the 961 01:13:23,199 --> 01:13:29,199 resolution is not good enough to read license plates or I mean I mean it 962 01:13:27,679 --> 01:13:31,760 doesn't even know the color of the car. It just knows there's a car in a space 963 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:36,159 or not. >> Sure. Are those raw images or audio 964 01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:39,360 recordings ever stored even temporarily? >> Temporarily on device. 965 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:44,000 » On the device. Okay. So, I guess a follow-up question to that I have is the 966 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:48,960 UpCity claim that they protect privacy relies on our trust rather than I guess 967 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:54,400 open verification. I feel like a third party code audit might be beneficial. 968 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:57,760 Basically, the vendor would submit their firmware to an independent cyber 969 01:13:56,159 --> 01:14:01,120 security and privacy auditor just to make sure that the raw images are 970 01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:04,800 instantly destroyed. Is this something that you've considered? 971 01:14:02,239 --> 01:14:07,120 » I have not. I wouldn't. Who would you have a suggestion who we would work with 972 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,440 on that? >> I don't. I was curious if you had looked 973 01:14:08,719 --> 01:14:14,080 into it. >> No, I have not. 974 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:18,400 » Okay. Um, my next question, uh, a little bit of background. So, Michelle Lim, who 975 01:14:16,239 --> 01:14:24,719 is an UpCity representative, has already stated on their website that quote, "Upy 976 01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:28,800 isn't a dashboard. It optimizes truth or sorry, it optimizes traffic flow and 977 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:32,159 parking usage. This isn't a promise for the future. It's happening right now. 978 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:35,520 The city of Raleigh, Missouri, is currently using Upsity to optimize their 979 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:41,199 parking operations and drive their 20-year downtown revitalization 980 01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:46,239 uh plan. Uh, additionally, Carlos Jiren Up, another Upy employee, uh, posted to 981 01:14:44,159 --> 01:14:50,960 his social media that Rale, Missouri runs on Up and the city has chosen our 982 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:56,320 solution. That was posted months ago before uh the Up City presentation was 983 01:14:53,920 --> 01:15:00,080 given to us. I guess that was what, July of earlier this year. Um the post 984 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:07,600 basically says that the sensors are already tracking uh full lots and by and 985 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:11,920 violations using its space usage. So I'm not accusing anyone of anything but up 986 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:16,400 city has publicly represented that the city has already been using the system 987 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:19,920 and you had mentioned the uh that we've been working with the iOS for over a 988 01:15:18,159 --> 01:15:23,760 year. The staff report says that we've been working with UpCity I guess for you 989 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:28,560 know on that pilot for over a year but what exactly was authorized during that 990 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:34,480 pilot and when was it authorized? >> I roughly a year ago I don't recall the 991 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:41,679 the exact date but uh so we they are monitoring two blocks of pine so uh 6 to 992 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:45,040 8 and one parking lot the lot across from uh we call the RMU lot straight 993 01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:52,239 across from RMU. >> Okay. Um, how much has the city paid up 994 01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:55,440 city to date and from what account? >> I would have to bring that back at the 995 01:15:54,159 --> 01:15:58,000 next I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head. 996 01:15:56,800 --> 01:16:00,000 » You don't know how much it cost for the pilot? 997 01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:03,280 » I don't recall. I don't I'd hate to say a number and be wrong. 998 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:09,120 » Okay. Okay. Um, >> so I mean since I mean under $10,000. 999 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:12,080 » Okay. >> And I think Darren that would have come 1000 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:16,000 out of street fund. >> It would have been 1001 01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:23,199 » street fund budget. Okay. Um yes I mean 70 sensors times it was 993 if my math 1002 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:27,360 is correct that's 69 510 plus the way finding software that was mentioned uh 1003 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:31,920 which was 14. Uh so now we're looking at 83510 a year over the course of three 1004 01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:38,000 years and that's including the discount we're looking at around 66 808 a year. 1005 01:16:34,719 --> 01:16:42,960 That's almost $1,000 a year per sensor. I guess my question is what what is our 1006 01:16:40,159 --> 01:16:46,080 measurable like return on investment? You know, I think we had mentioned like 1007 01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:49,280 the parking spaces last time that the up city representative was here. How are 1008 01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:54,880 you going to measure that? >> So, I would measure it by utilization 1009 01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:57,600 and then also just, you know, you know, hearing from business owners. I mean, 1010 01:16:56,320 --> 01:17:00,719 that's what I hear from business owners all the time is there's nowhere to park 1011 01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:05,360 on Pine Street. >> So, utilization of the spots would be 1012 01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:09,280 okay. Was that 83510 independently established as the market price or was 1013 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:13,840 that simply Up's list price? >> That was up's price. 1014 01:17:11,199 --> 01:17:18,080 » Okay. Um, let's see here. 1015 01:17:16,239 --> 01:17:22,880 I I just want to know that the pilot actually delivered, you know, enough 1016 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:27,760 value to justify that $200,000 commitment. Um, so, you know, you said 1017 01:17:26,159 --> 01:17:31,600 you didn't you weren't sure about the cost of the pilot. Can you answer was it 1018 01:17:30,159 --> 01:17:35,360 a purchase? Was it a professional services agreement or something else? 1019 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:39,679 » It was done via purchase order. >> Where can I find that agreement in the 1020 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:42,719 public record? >> We can get it to you. 1021 01:17:40,719 --> 01:17:46,719 » Yeah. So Darren, correct me if I'm again. So this is approximately a year 1022 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:50,320 ago. We entered into the project. It would have been done as a professional 1023 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:55,679 services agreement. >> You referenced under $10,000, which 1024 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:59,679 basically is where would have received administrative approval. It wouldn't 1025 01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:03,840 have had to go to governing body. So under purchasing guidelines, again, 1026 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:08,560 council would have appropriated the funds for the pilot project and then 1027 01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:10,800 staff would have administrated it, moved it forward. 1028 01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:13,679 » Okay. This was probably like the last council. 1029 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:18,000 » This Yeah, it would have been Yes. previously. 1030 01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:21,760 » Okay. Um, do you know the five and 10 year complete cost? 1031 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:25,360 » I do not. >> Okay. 1032 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:28,960 » I know what the three-year cost is. >> The three-year cost because that was the 1033 01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:31,760 one that we had the discount on. Correct. Correct. 1034 01:18:30,159 --> 01:18:38,159 » Um, but we're still looking at over $200,000. $250,000, I'm sorry. 1035 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:41,600 » No, $200,424 years. 1036 01:18:40,159 --> 01:18:46,080 Okay. >> What alternatives did staff formally, I 1037 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:48,640 guess, evaluate before recommending this investment? Was there any like other 1038 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:52,239 ones other than Up City you were looking at? 1039 01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:55,840 » I looked at Park Mobile. I There was a couple other ones I looked at. So So all 1040 01:18:54,400 --> 01:19:01,280 of them I looked at, none of them had the wayfinding app that would tell you 1041 01:18:58,239 --> 01:19:05,040 is that spot actually available. >> Sure. Um, I guess going off of that, so 1042 01:19:03,199 --> 01:19:09,280 the last time that we talked about that parking situation and like the available 1043 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:12,960 spots and whatnot, concerns were expressed over the usability and the 1044 01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:16,080 configuration of the spaces. I think somebody had mentioned, you know, maybe 1045 01:19:14,239 --> 01:19:20,880 we do the diagonal spaces instead of the parallel parking, etc. So, I guess my 1046 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:24,159 question comes, you know, in terms of priority, is there a reason why we're 1047 01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:27,040 making a technology investment before trying out the physical ones that we 1048 01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:31,199 could do for a lot cheaper? >> Uh, the physical ones would not be a lot 1049 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:36,159 cheaper. So, our cheapest option is the $200,000 investment for the cameras. 1050 01:19:34,159 --> 01:19:42,000 » Yes. I mean, any of the physical options you just mentioned are million plus. I 1051 01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:45,600 mean, they're not cheap. >> Okay. I'm going to let my other council 1052 01:19:44,239 --> 01:19:49,120 members have asking questions. >> I'd like to make a recommendation too 1053 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:53,840 for council. If you want to know specific numbers of something, maybe 1054 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:56,719 about a year ago for for them when they're getting up and speaking, if you 1055 01:19:54,960 --> 01:20:00,800 submit that to them ahead of time, they can answer those questions and be able 1056 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:03,440 to come here and answer it specifically. But if you ask them that on the spot, 1057 01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:07,600 they're probably I [clears throat] wouldn't remember exactly that number 1058 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:11,840 for a year ago. So, >> and I would encourage our staff again, 1059 01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:15,280 you know, while we always can. Yeah, I believe it was this amount. We'd rather 1060 01:20:13,440 --> 01:20:19,520 be accurate. So, I'm going to encourage again. Let's not speculate. I think it's 1061 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:22,719 this amount. If you get us the questions ahead of time, we can definitely get the 1062 01:20:21,679 --> 01:20:25,360 information. >> And even if you come up with the 1063 01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:29,120 question on the fly, just allow them, you know, 1064 01:20:26,159 --> 01:20:32,320 » this is the first reading, so allow them the second reading to come back and get 1065 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:35,600 back those answers to you. So it can be specific exactly what you're asking. 1066 01:20:34,239 --> 01:20:39,679 » Sure. Yeah. No, and I apologize. I didn't get that. But the only the only 1067 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:43,600 number that I asked about more than a year ago was what we paid for the pilot. 1068 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:47,040 in terms of what we're paying for the future. I feel like that should be 1069 01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,480 » available >> absolutely 1070 01:20:47,440 --> 01:20:51,600 » today. Okay, >> perfect. 1071 01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:56,640 » Are there Yes, you have a floor. >> I uh I had some comments from 1072 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,520 constituents here that I'd like to share. 1073 01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:02,560 » Okay. >> Um one was a concern about the 1074 01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:07,840 possibility that we would be encouraging distracted driving through the use of 1075 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:12,640 the wayfinding app. Um and you know essentially the I think the idea would 1076 01:21:09,440 --> 01:21:16,960 be that in in using this to find parking that we would be 1077 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:20,880 I mean yes encouraging drivers to be looking at the potentially looking at 1078 01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:27,040 their phone rather than looking at the road. So that was one concern. Um the 1079 01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:30,800 second was kind of a question and and I think you partly addressed this or did 1080 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:33,360 you would would you like to respond? >> I didn't know you. 1081 01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:37,440 » Okay. Sorry. Um the other was uh kind of addressed in the at the tail end of that 1082 01:21:35,199 --> 01:21:41,040 previous discussion about cheaper options or what might be perceived as 1083 01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:46,560 cheaper options. And this particular question was well why not try signage 1084 01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:50,400 first um instead of moving moving to this and and maybe maybe you've already 1085 01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:55,280 done those calculations and and have some sense of whether signage 1086 01:21:53,280 --> 01:22:00,000 would be cheaper or why not go with signage first and go with the app first. 1087 01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:04,800 Um, and then finally, and I think that this is something that speaks to the 1088 01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:09,840 moment that we're in now. Um, but there this this uh correspondent put it um 1089 01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:15,440 that this is not a great time for quote putting up cameras on black poles. Um, 1090 01:22:13,440 --> 01:22:20,000 and I know that we had the Up City presentation back in July, and I do 1091 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:25,360 remember I I've got extensive notes here about, you know, that the that they were 1092 01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:30,480 very um insistent that basically you couldn't do with Up say 1093 01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:33,840 like a flock system, right? They could not be used. There was no personal 1094 01:22:32,239 --> 01:22:38,080 identifying information. And it was designed to basically be a kind of 1095 01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:41,679 advanced sensor to see what kind of vehicle was in a spot rather than which 1096 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:47,199 specific vehicle, let alone who could drive it. But it does occur to me that 1097 01:22:45,199 --> 01:22:50,400 the atmosphere is a little bit more charged than it was maybe even back in 1098 01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:54,880 July when it comes to something like this. And I do wonder 1099 01:22:52,639 --> 01:23:02,159 I don't know I do wonder how how people feel about this um given the overall 1100 01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:06,960 climate around cameras on black poles. So that last one was on observation and 1101 01:23:04,639 --> 01:23:11,440 sharing a concern. But I think maybe the there's a specific question in here that 1102 01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:15,760 you might be able to answer or not on the signage question and whether or not 1103 01:23:13,440 --> 01:23:19,280 that's a you know should we do that first or why not do that first? 1104 01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:23,920 » I mean we're planning on doing that in conjunction. We do think we better need 1105 01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:26,880 better signage. you know, you know, again, you know, 1106 01:23:25,679 --> 01:23:31,520 that was one of the things that brought up in the, you know, comprehensive plan 1107 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:36,880 was, you know, parking utilization was low. Um, my, you know, I think signage 1108 01:23:35,440 --> 01:23:40,480 is not going to help Pine Street. I mean, if just be honest with you, uh, it 1109 01:23:39,440 --> 01:23:44,960 might help with some of the off- streetet parking in the parking lots. 1110 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:49,600 Um, but I go back to this is the only solution I've found where you can take 1111 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:54,400 your app, pull it up and say, I need a parking space and it will verify yes, 1112 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:58,560 there is a space available. Not we think there's a space available or, you know, 1113 01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:01,520 most of them are using a, you know, maybe a counting system, okay, where 1114 01:24:00,159 --> 01:24:06,000 there's 100 spots in this lot and we know there's 100 cars went in and and 1115 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:10,639 paid. Well, you know, if there's a car goes in and doesn't pay and takes up a 1116 01:24:08,159 --> 01:24:14,480 spot, it doesn't know that. So, like I said, that it was a very unique solution 1117 01:24:12,719 --> 01:24:18,000 that that I've not found another one in the marketplace. 1118 01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:22,960 » Okay. I just as a followup, I'm just curious um why uh you think in your 1119 01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:26,159 experience because I know that you you've studied this 1120 01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:30,239 » uh and I appreciate the the initiative that that your department had in in 1121 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:33,840 making that study. U but why why do you think that Pine Street is resistant to 1122 01:24:32,159 --> 01:24:37,360 being helped by signs? Is it just because there's parking or there isn't? 1123 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:41,040 And you know, people know where Pine Street is, so they don't need to be told 1124 01:24:38,719 --> 01:24:44,159 where Pine Street is and it's just a question of whether there are spots open 1125 01:24:42,719 --> 01:24:48,080 or what is it? >> So, I think we got a couple things on 1126 01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:50,560 Pine Street. Like I said, I mean, if you're going to a business on Pine 1127 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:54,880 Street, you're looking for a parking spot on Pine Street. I think the issue 1128 01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:58,960 you run into sometimes is, you know, you'll want to go to a a business in the 1129 01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:03,520 Ninth Street block and you won't look for parking until you get to the Ninth 1130 01:25:01,199 --> 01:25:06,480 Street block and it's full. So, I think that's where, you know, the app would 1131 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:10,080 definitely help there because, you know, before you if you tell it you want to go 1132 01:25:08,159 --> 01:25:14,400 to Red Door Gifts, it's going to find you the closest spot it can to Red Door 1133 01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:18,400 Gifts and and route you turn by turn to that spot. And in the meantime, if 1134 01:25:16,480 --> 01:25:22,480 someone takes that spot, it will route you to the next closest spot. 1135 01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:27,360 » Excellent. Yes, Keith. >> So, Darren, if I could maybe ask you to 1136 01:25:25,199 --> 01:25:33,440 step back and kind of frame what initiated our efforts with focusing on 1137 01:25:30,159 --> 01:25:37,520 this. It's my understanding and part of you know one of the things we hear 1138 01:25:35,199 --> 01:25:44,960 consistently from the businesses in the downtown is the the parking challenge 1139 01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:49,600 which staff has done their own you know analysis and you know what we find is 1140 01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:55,760 there is adequate parking in the downtown. It's a perceptional issue and 1141 01:25:52,960 --> 01:26:01,360 that's ultimately what initiated us to start the p the pilot program efforts of 1142 01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:04,800 how do we route people to where the parking is available. Is that a fair 1143 01:26:04,239 --> 01:26:09,280 view of it? >> And I would say this also is going to 1144 01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:13,199 give real time you know information. So you know when you know a business owner 1145 01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:16,320 says there's you know there's no parking on Pine Street. I mean it's real time. 1146 01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:20,239 we can immediately pull up the dashboard and look and go, "No, there's, you know, 1147 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:23,040 15 spots available on Pine Street. There's eight spots available in this 1148 01:26:21,440 --> 01:26:26,480 parking lot." I mean, you know, so we'll have, you know, real data that, you 1149 01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:32,560 know, we can share with with our constituents. Also 1150 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:38,320 » in terms of the navigating, you know, the app for navigating um people to the 1151 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:45,840 parking space is that I guess my recollection was the the app basically 1152 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:50,159 functions very similar to any map app that most people use to 1153 01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:54,320 » Google Maps or Apple Maps. I mean, if you've got, you know, the ability for 1154 01:26:52,159 --> 01:26:57,920 that, you know, to sync with your your car, you know, it's going to talk to the 1155 01:26:56,480 --> 01:27:04,040 speakers and give you turn byturn directions like any other, um, you know, 1156 01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:04,040 directional app would. 1157 01:27:06,719 --> 01:27:15,520 » Yes, sir. >> Um, as [snorts] far as that the 66,000, 1158 01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:19,040 » does that include the upkeep? all to say on everything, hardware, software, if 1159 01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:23,040 something like does it belong to us? If something breaks, we have to pay to have 1160 01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:26,400 a new camera put in or does that include everything if anything goes wrong? 1161 01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:29,360 » Yeah, that includes anything if anything goes wrong. So, you know, in the end, 1162 01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:33,600 we're essentially leasing this equipment. They still own it. 1163 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:37,840 » So, um yeah, if it breaks, you know, that's them, you know, providing parts 1164 01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:41,280 to fix it or, you know, typically it's I mean, we had one that quit working, they 1165 01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:45,920 send us a new unit, and we shipped one back. And were we pleased with the 1166 01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:48,000 timeline of repair of them coming to to change that out? 1167 01:27:46,639 --> 01:27:52,000 » Yeah. I mean, they overnighted it. It was here the next day. 1168 01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:57,600 » Okay. Um my other question, if you don't mind, um so it's a three-year agreement. 1169 01:27:54,560 --> 01:28:00,719 So all three years is about the $200,000 >> if we choose [snorts] to cancel at that 1170 01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:05,199 point. So even if we view this as kind of an extension of the trial period, you 1171 01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:09,440 know, do we find less complaints of people like this is actually real world 1172 01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:12,000 helping the parking perception downtown if we cancel out after that three-year 1173 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:14,800 mark? >> Is it are we free and clear? 1174 01:28:13,440 --> 01:28:18,400 » We are free and clear after three years. >> There's no getting out of the contract 1175 01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:22,239 sort of thing after the three years. >> No, we are sign, you know, the proposal 1176 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:26,239 is a three-year contract that locks locks our price in but does not commit 1177 01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:29,760 us for anything past the three years. So if we have a terrible experience or 1178 01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:31,520 there's lots of issues, we that that's what our commitment is. 1179 01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:34,880 » Yes. >> Thank you. 1180 01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:41,281 » Y >> um you were saying perceptual. 1181 01:28:38,159 --> 01:28:47,120 » I drive Pine Street quite a bit. U [snorts] it's not as perceptual as you 1182 01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:52,000 think. The businesses are hard to get to. 1183 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:54,960 Uh you'll get uh you've got uh like Saltwater and the ice cream shop right 1184 01:28:53,760 --> 01:29:01,120 next to each other. I believe that's the name of the place. Um, and you now have 1185 01:28:58,480 --> 01:29:06,960 a two and a half, three block strip that is locked down by those two businesses. 1186 01:29:04,480 --> 01:29:11,920 So, anything you want to go to in that thing is you got to go, 1187 01:29:10,239 --> 01:29:15,600 you know, all the way down to the opposite end of the block on either 1188 01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:21,120 direction. I don't see that as perceptual. 1189 01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:26,000 That is who wants to get out in 100 degree heat and walk two blocks to a 1190 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:29,679 restaurant. >> I I think that's that that's for all 1191 01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:33,280 downtowns though, right? >> Like every downtown you go to, you're 1192 01:29:31,440 --> 01:29:35,280 going to have to walk somewhere. >> No, 1193 01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:38,960 » if the expectation is you're going to walk less than a block to every business 1194 01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:44,239 on Pine Street, we we will not meet that expectation. 1195 01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:49,920 Uh, and as I've been down there, I've actually went to go to, like I said, you 1196 01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:54,880 know, to these businesses, and with my uh, health the way it is, I can't walk 1197 01:29:52,400 --> 01:30:00,639 that far. And I'll end up going out of town rather than go to the local 1198 01:29:57,199 --> 01:30:06,480 businesses because there is no fe, you know, we're talking two, three 1199 01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:11,520 blocks walk to where I wanted to go for a twominute, you know, run in for what I 1200 01:30:09,199 --> 01:30:17,760 needed. Uh so I don't see you know that as 1201 01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:21,360 perceptual that is a reality of parking on Pine Street. 1202 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:25,120 » I would agree with that reality 100%. Uh the point I was trying to make is you 1203 01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:28,960 know within three blocks of each business there will be there's always 1204 01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:32,320 going to be adequate parking. >> Okay. Excellent. Yeah. Now I'll come 1205 01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:35,440 back over here. Yes ma'am. >> I want to go back to Up City for a 1206 01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:41,120 second. So my question kind of goes off of uh Councilwoman Turbins. we terminate 1207 01:30:38,159 --> 01:30:46,400 the contract after x amount of years. Do we return all historical data or like 1208 01:30:44,639 --> 01:30:50,800 can we take it to like another vendor or how does that work? 1209 01:30:49,199 --> 01:30:54,320 » So I guess I need a little help with the 1210 01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:58,560 question. So you know when we terminate after 3 years you know all the hardware 1211 01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:02,719 that's theirs would be you know sent back to them 1212 01:30:59,920 --> 01:31:08,960 » and you know any data that we have collected is ours at that point. So um 1213 01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:13,679 the historical data yes so you know like right now I can go in the dashboard and 1214 01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:16,960 download all the historical data for you know occupancy for for the blocks we've 1215 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:19,360 been monitoring if that's what you're asking. 1216 01:31:17,679 --> 01:31:22,560 » So it would be possible to get that to like another one should we not choose to 1217 01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:26,400 go with upstate. Okay. And then my second question is have you been in 1218 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:30,800 touch I guess with other cities or I guess other city officials from other 1219 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:35,040 cities who have already utilized up city >> the Dublin 1220 01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:38,320 » Ohio or I don't there's like five or six more you know on the website that are 1221 01:31:36,639 --> 01:31:40,719 near us but I just was curious if you've talked to them and how their experience 1222 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:44,800 was. >> Their experience has been good when I 1223 01:31:42,719 --> 01:31:49,920 talked to them. So I would say Dublin's about the only one that's had it for a 1224 01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:55,600 while. I'd say the other ones that you're looking at are very similar to 1225 01:31:51,199 --> 01:31:58,239 RA, either pilot or just starting. >> Okay. 1226 01:31:57,199 --> 01:32:02,159 » Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. 1227 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:08,320 » Real quick, um, so what's the plan to try to get users to try to get people to 1228 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:13,120 use the app um should we decide to go with it? Um, is there like a little bit 1229 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:16,000 of marketing that's going to happen or anything that's included in that? 1230 01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:19,520 » So, that would be, you know, coordination with us and up is that. So, 1231 01:32:17,679 --> 01:32:23,679 Up City will help us with that where they can. I mean, then it's of course 1232 01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:27,679 city website, you know, you know, try to get the newspaper to do an article on 1233 01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:30,719 it, you know, um go to all the downtown businesses and, you know, hang some 1234 01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:34,239 flyers up. I mean, anything we can do to get the word out. 1235 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:36,800 » I would expect RDBA, again, the intent would be to promote it as widely as we 1236 01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:40,400 could. >> Yeah, because with an investment like 1237 01:32:38,480 --> 01:32:43,120 that, we definitely want to get as many users as possible so we can get 1238 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:46,000 » Agreed. >> Some good data. 1239 01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:49,840 » You can download the app right now and play around with it. 1240 01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:52,480 All right. So, yeah. Um, >> I have one more question. 1241 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,920 » Yes, sir. I'll come back to you, sir. >> I missed you. 1242 01:32:53,199 --> 01:32:56,239 » That's okay. >> I apologize. 1243 01:32:54,719 --> 01:33:00,800 » It's fine. >> Oh, it's my turn. Okay. Um, since this 1244 01:32:58,719 --> 01:33:04,560 has been an ongoing pilot, do you is there some kind of report or something 1245 01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:08,960 that you'd be able to share with the council before the second reading that 1246 01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:11,679 we would be able to see how that pilot has been going so that we understand 1247 01:33:10,480 --> 01:33:15,280 better. >> This isn't just a thought experiment. I 1248 01:33:13,199 --> 01:33:18,560 mean, there's actual, you know, results. So, what would you like that report to 1249 01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:23,600 to show? >> I didn't know if they had given you one. 1250 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:27,760 » I mean, so the dashboard, I mean, it's I can create custom reports for for 1251 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:32,480 anything that you'd want. I just need to know what you want in that report. 1252 01:33:30,639 --> 01:33:35,040 » I wouldn't No, I haven't seen the dashboard. 1253 01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:41,120 » Could you generate a report showing utilization of the parking in the pilot 1254 01:33:38,480 --> 01:33:47,440 areas over the last 30 days? >> Sure. would have broken by day, by time 1255 01:33:44,480 --> 01:33:49,199 of day, all all the Well, I I'll supply something. 1256 01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:52,639 » I I'd be grateful. Thank you. >> Thank you. And I I Yes, you have. 1257 01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:56,320 » Yes. Yes, sir. >> Um, is the contract for low resolution 1258 01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:59,600 cameras? >> Yes. 1259 01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:04,159 » So, if at any time they decide to upgrade to like facial recognition or 1260 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:09,280 high resolution cameras, do they have to bring that back to us before they 1261 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:14,320 install those cameras? >> Yes. I mean, we Hey, 1262 01:34:12,159 --> 01:34:16,960 » so real quick. So, so the city does the install. 1263 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:21,520 » So, they provide the hardware, we do the install. So, yeah, they were changing 1264 01:34:19,440 --> 01:34:24,239 their technology. We would know before we put it up. 1265 01:34:22,239 --> 01:34:27,920 » And they would they contractually they have to tell us that they are now 1266 01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:29,920 installing high resolution. >> Yes. 1267 01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:32,239 » And it would void the contract if that's what they went with. 1268 01:34:30,719 --> 01:34:36,000 » We just wouldn't put them up. Yes. >> Okay. 1269 01:34:34,480 --> 01:34:40,639 » Whatever you did, >> good job. We all have 1270 01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:43,440 » I don't know what magic you >> the computer went to sleep and I woke it 1271 01:34:42,239 --> 01:34:47,520 back up. So, >> all right. Yes, ma'am. 1272 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:52,560 » I think the up city guy maybe touched on this. Is it currently in use or planned 1273 01:34:49,920 --> 01:35:00,080 to be used quite a bit from the city side to like deploy 1274 01:34:56,400 --> 01:35:07,199 an officer to ticket people past their point of stay. So again, this would this 1275 01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:10,800 technology would not be capable of writing a ticket because it's not 1276 01:35:08,639 --> 01:35:14,719 reading license plates. It's not getting a description of a car. You know, it 1277 01:35:12,719 --> 01:35:19,120 doesn't know that it's a green, you know, car or anything. So, all it's 1278 01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:24,239 going to do is um I can run reports called overstays that will show the 1279 01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:28,719 areas that in times that, you know, that that we're seeing a lot of people 1280 01:35:26,159 --> 01:35:32,080 overstaying, you know, the parking. So, it would be allow them for them to 1281 01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:35,040 target enforcement. It still be the, you know, traditional, you know, mark the 1282 01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:37,600 tire and then make a circle and come back. Uh, you know, it's not going to 1283 01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:42,320 replace that. It's just going to help them target the areas to enforce. 1284 01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:44,080 » Is it already being used that way a little bit on those couple blocks of 1285 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:47,360 pine? >> It is not. I've not shared the data with 1286 01:35:45,679 --> 01:35:53,040 with police. >> Well, and part of it reason is those two 1287 01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:58,159 blocks of pine aren't the utilization is pretty low. So, it wouldn't be like 1288 01:35:55,280 --> 01:36:02,719 someone is monitoring the data in real time and sending out an officer because 1289 01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:08,239 there's three in this lot that are passed. It would be trending lots that 1290 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:12,000 tend to see a lot of overstays and maybe monitor those a little more frequently. 1291 01:36:10,639 --> 01:36:14,320 I mean, is that the intent? >> That's the intent. That's how we'd use 1292 01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:18,960 that data. Yes. >> Okay. 1293 01:36:15,679 --> 01:36:20,800 » Excellent question. Any other questions? >> Ameilia. 1294 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:26,159 » Okay. >> Yeah. My mine kind of goes I guess a 1295 01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:29,679 little bit off of that. So I guess I don't know. It seems kind of 1296 01:36:27,679 --> 01:36:32,159 like I I feel like a few citizens would have to assume that it's almost kind of 1297 01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:35,360 like a little bit of a money grab because let's just say you know you park 1298 01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:40,800 you use the app, you park there for 15 minutes. God forbid you're there for 16. 1299 01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:44,159 Now we've already sent a message to RPO to send somebody out. 1300 01:36:42,639 --> 01:36:47,360 » It won't work like that. No. >> How how would it work? 1301 01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:51,679 » So I mean it like I said it's it's it's staff running report. So, it's not like 1302 01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:56,000 a an alert when someone has been there a minute over. It's just us running 1303 01:36:53,040 --> 01:37:01,440 reports saying there's overstays typically happen in this lot in these 1304 01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:06,000 five or six spots during these hours of the day so that you know um police staff 1305 01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:09,679 would know, hey, I need to kind of monitor this lot a little closer during 1306 01:37:07,679 --> 01:37:14,719 those hours of day. It is still marking tires and coming back in the, you know, 1307 01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:18,560 15 minutes or hour depending on what the time is. and that police officer 1308 01:37:16,639 --> 01:37:20,960 witnessing that car being there for that amount of time. 1309 01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:24,560 » Well, like you said, as of right now, it's not even looking at that on Pine 1310 01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:28,320 Street with this pilot. Correct. >> No, like I said, I I can I run a report 1311 01:37:26,480 --> 01:37:33,199 that shows we're overstays happen? Yes. But I I mean, I ran one six months ago 1312 01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:34,880 just to see if I could do it, but no, we're not running those reports every 1313 01:37:34,480 --> 01:37:38,480 day. >> Yeah. I mean, my concern is not really 1314 01:37:36,159 --> 01:37:43,360 on on on the report. It's more that Up City has already made the claim that 1315 01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:47,280 we've chosen them to to do this. And so I'm hearing two different things in 1316 01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:50,960 terms of whether or not we've already agreed to use Up City or I mean does 1317 01:37:49,440 --> 01:37:55,040 that I I guess maybe that may be a question for Keith more like is that 1318 01:37:53,360 --> 01:38:00,719 that's a little bit concerning know that Up City has already said we've chosen to 1319 01:37:58,639 --> 01:38:04,880 go with them and that we are actively using them for parking but then Darren's 1320 01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:08,480 telling us that no we haven't been you know ticking based off of Upy. We 1321 01:38:06,639 --> 01:38:12,480 haven't been you know collecting that data. I don't I don't know what to what 1322 01:38:10,480 --> 01:38:17,760 to believe. I mean, we will not be using up city to write tickets, okay, 1323 01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:22,800 » ever. That's not the intent with this project. Now, is that a selling point to 1324 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:28,080 some other cities? Maybe, but but not to all. No, that is not our intent. 1325 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:32,560 » And that's where I'm not familiar with what Up City has expressed again in 1326 01:38:30,719 --> 01:38:37,840 terms of our selecting them. Yeah, we've selected them for a pilot. 1327 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:41,840 » Beyond that, that's it. But to Darren's point, we're not using them, nor is the 1328 01:38:40,159 --> 01:38:46,159 intent to use it for parking enforcement. Parking enforcement through 1329 01:38:44,480 --> 01:38:50,400 the police, no, would still be done through the police department. It's a 1330 01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:56,480 totally separate function than what we would be looking for this app, the 1331 01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:59,600 system to address. >> Does that answer your question? 1332 01:38:57,679 --> 01:39:02,639 » It does. So then can is it possible that council can get I guess not just a 1333 01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:07,440 report from the last 30 days but whenever the pilot first began in terms 1334 01:39:05,119 --> 01:39:11,199 of not only what the pilot found but how much we've paid up city so far in terms 1335 01:39:10,159 --> 01:39:15,199 of money >> we can yeah we'll have that 1336 01:39:13,440 --> 01:39:17,840 » report Stephanie's been sending me numbers I was going to share them with 1337 01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:22,360 council later >> okay thank you the 1338 01:39:23,199 --> 01:39:26,600 » other questions 1339 01:39:27,440 --> 01:39:31,520 questions >> [snorts] 1340 01:39:30,239 --> 01:39:36,880 » All right. Well, thank you. Can we have the first reading from my seat attorney? 1341 01:39:34,159 --> 01:39:40,159 » Bill number 2026-20, an ordinance authorizing the mayor to 1342 01:39:38,639 --> 01:39:46,000 execute a certain agreement between the city of Raleigh, Missouri and Up City. 1343 01:39:44,239 --> 01:39:48,000 » Can I ask one question, Mayor? >> Yes, sir. 1344 01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:51,520 » So, for the next meeting, I'm making sure I'm giving council what what 1345 01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:57,040 they're wanting. You we talked about a 30-day report. But we also mentioned a 1346 01:39:54,320 --> 01:40:02,880 since the beginning of the pilot report um I can provide that it's going to be 1347 01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:07,119 we're going to kill a lot of trees. >> Can it be? 1348 01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:11,440 » Yeah. Can we do a digital report there? >> All right. Some gigabytes. 1349 01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:15,199 » It's going to be a lot of pages. >> Okay. No problem. 1350 01:40:13,119 --> 01:40:19,040 » The need for data set. >> Any other comments? Any other comments 1351 01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:22,639 or points of clarity for Mr. Prior? >> I guess could we get that before the 1352 01:40:20,639 --> 01:40:25,920 vote on probably get to tomorrow. 1353 01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:32,600 » Our goal would be to have the information from tonight's meeting that 1354 01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:32,600 we could send out to council on Friday. 1355 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:45,760 » One one other thought, but would there be a way for us in that report to also 1356 01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:51,199 get uh a a an example of how how the image looks that the camera gets. 1357 01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:54,480 » So, I would have to get that from Updia. I don't have access to to get images at 1358 01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,719 all. >> Okay. 1359 01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:59,440 » I think you can see that too if you go back to the 1360 01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:04,520 » their presentation had a >> Okay. 1361 01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:04,520 » an example of of an image. 1362 01:41:05,199 --> 01:41:08,400 » You going to say something else or you're not? 1363 01:41:06,719 --> 01:41:13,040 » I was going to So Darren, do you have the ability you don't have the ability 1364 01:41:10,159 --> 01:41:16,360 to pull images off of the camera system? >> I do not. 1365 01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:22,800 » Thank you. >> Thank you very much, sir. 1366 01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:27,600 All right. Next item we have up on agenda is claims and fiscal transactions 1367 01:41:25,679 --> 01:41:31,840 and we'll be hearing from public I mean parks director Mr. Floyd Jennigan 1368 01:41:30,239 --> 01:41:39,760 Jernigan. I don't know why Mr. Good. Thank you. 1369 01:41:36,639 --> 01:41:44,400 So our closed flume slide at Splat Zone has been slowly deteriorating over the 1370 01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:49,760 past year resulting in flaking chips and some leaky seams. So staff did some work 1371 01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:54,880 at the end of last season and again beginning of this season uh to do some 1372 01:41:52,239 --> 01:41:59,199 sealing but it's just to the point where we need to do a complete resurface. 1373 01:41:57,679 --> 01:42:04,159 Typically they recommend you do those every 3 to 10 years. So we're right in 1374 01:42:01,199 --> 01:42:08,880 that time frame as the last resurfacing occurred in 2021. 1375 01:42:06,639 --> 01:42:13,440 So our good news is out of our two slides only one of them needs that work. 1376 01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:19,440 So, we are recommending the low bid from ARC of $13,980 1377 01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:23,600 to do the work for the closed slide. Questions 1378 01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:25,920 » at that price, is that them coming down here and doing it or we're just getting 1379 01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:28,560 the material supply? >> No, they're going to come down and do 1380 01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:31,280 it. >> Does it being that much lower scare you? 1381 01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:34,800 » I'm sorry. What >> does does their number being that much 1382 01:42:33,119 --> 01:42:38,400 lower scare you as >> No, because they worked on they were the 1383 01:42:36,159 --> 01:42:41,280 ones that worked on this in 2021. So I think one of the reasons why they're 1384 01:42:39,679 --> 01:42:43,280 cheaper is they're very familiar with our slides. 1385 01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:46,320 » Gotcha. >> So 1386 01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:49,440 » good point. >> Yes, smell. 1387 01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:53,040 » Not particular to the slide issue, but just these fiscal considerations. I just 1388 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:56,960 maybe I don't know how to interpret these numbers, but they appropriated 1389 01:42:55,199 --> 01:43:02,560 591,000. Is this the fiscal year ending? Yes. 1390 01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:05,920 This fall. Um and the 143 is what's been spent. So way under. 1391 01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:10,159 » Yeah. So what the difference in that is you have to keep in mind we did not do 1392 01:43:08,239 --> 01:43:15,679 the turf field this year. So that was budgeted. So the difference there is the 1393 01:43:12,639 --> 01:43:21,440 reimburseable portion that we would get versus the total expense. So this is an 1394 01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:27,560 actually the difference between the two. That's why that's that unspent portion. 1395 01:43:30,480 --> 01:43:40,159 » Questions from council comments? Questions from council comments. 1396 01:43:38,239 --> 01:43:45,199 All right. Um, you don't need to read this. Floor is open to a motion to award 1397 01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:47,679 the bid. >> I'll make that motion. 1398 01:43:46,159 --> 01:43:52,320 » Bar will second. >> Move the property second. Floor is open 1399 01:43:49,199 --> 01:43:56,639 for discussion. Hear no further discussion. We'll have a 1400 01:43:54,400 --> 01:44:00,320 voice vote. All in favor say I. >> I. 1401 01:43:57,119 --> 01:44:05,760 » All oppose say nay. Pass unanimously. So you still have the floor for a motion 1402 01:44:02,159 --> 01:44:08,880 toward a bid to wade equipment for a diesel mower. 1403 01:44:06,719 --> 01:44:14,320 » Yeah, thank you for that. >> So we utilize diesel mowers to do our 1404 01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:18,800 work in the parks due to their longevity and ability to withstand high usage 1405 01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:25,760 during the season. So during the course of that we typically try to u re re uh 1406 01:44:23,119 --> 01:44:30,000 purchase a new mower at least one to two per season about every seven years. Most 1407 01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:36,560 of the time we get a lot longer than that. This particular mower has quite a 1408 01:44:32,719 --> 01:44:40,960 bit over the hours and uh so we blew a motor. We weren't initially planning on 1409 01:44:38,719 --> 01:44:45,679 spending that this year because we were tight with the uh other expenses 1410 01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:49,280 particularly relating to the turf field, but we're kind of in that spot. 1411 01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:54,000 Anticipating we might have to do that. We haven't spent any money. So the 1412 01:44:51,360 --> 01:45:00,400 difference will be made up um elsewhere within those uh those park improvements. 1413 01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:05,119 So, we are recommending yes to go with a low bid from WDES equipment. Questions? 1414 01:45:03,440 --> 01:45:07,280 » That's local WEDs equipment. >> I'm sorry, what? 1415 01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:08,560 » That's the WEDs equipment from this area. 1416 01:45:07,440 --> 01:45:10,639 » Yes, it is. Okay. >> Says Burn. 1417 01:45:09,199 --> 01:45:13,040 » Yeah, it says Burn Texas. >> Oh, 1418 01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:15,280 » that's just a carryover from the Ark. Sorry. 1419 01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:20,239 » Yeah, I thought you guys were like Yeah, >> making a deal there. 1420 01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:22,800 » Yeah, I did the two back to back. That's >> good catch. 1421 01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:26,960 » Delivery with the slide. >> Great question. Thank you. 1422 01:45:24,239 --> 01:45:33,199 » Yeah, we're getting a slide slide. >> Further question from council down here. 1423 01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:37,119 Further question from council over here. >> All right, floors are open for a motion 1424 01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:40,719 toward the bid. >> Motion pass second. 1425 01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:44,960 » Moved and properly second. Floor is open for discussion. 1426 01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:50,560 Hear no further discussion. We'll go to a voice vote. All in favor say I. 1427 01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:55,040 » All oppose say nay. Navy ladies and gentlemen. 1428 01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:55,040 » Thank you, sir. 1429 01:45:55,760 --> 01:46:03,840 All right. Floor is now open for citizens communications. Any citizen has 1430 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:07,280 three minutes to speak on anything that that comes to that you would like to 1431 01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:13,600 talk about. We ask you to provide your name and um your address 1432 01:46:11,199 --> 01:46:18,320 to Miss Lori when you come up and speak. Hello. 1433 01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:23,679 » Hi. I'm Debbie Castle. Uh 16800 State Rudo. I'm outside of town. I was gone 1434 01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:28,719 this summer. And I got wonderful text messages that Prop S had passed and I 1435 01:46:26,639 --> 01:46:33,600 want to thank you guys because I feel like the city c every a lot of people 1436 01:46:30,639 --> 01:46:38,000 worked to get this passed but the city council was instrumental in it and I 1437 01:46:36,159 --> 01:46:41,679 really really appreciate it. I've been home for about a week and a half and I 1438 01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:47,520 want you to know that it's not statistically accurate, but I'm seeing 1439 01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:52,639 more people in the pool now and I think it's they have more confidence that it's 1440 01:46:50,159 --> 01:46:56,480 going to stay and maybe the advertising about how great it was, they decided, 1441 01:46:54,159 --> 01:47:02,239 me, I'd like to try that out. But there was a, you know, 21 1442 01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:07,920 women exercising, bunch of them in the shallow end. It was tight. [laughter] 1443 01:47:06,239 --> 01:47:11,880 Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you very much. 1444 01:47:08,639 --> 01:47:11,880 » Thanks, Daddy. 1445 01:47:14,159 --> 01:47:24,159 » Yes, sir. >> Hi, my name is uh Morgan Bearden and I 1446 01:47:20,159 --> 01:47:27,159 live uh in the county uh on Timberline Drive. 1447 01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:34,880 Like the speaker previously, I've spent a good bit of the summer out of town. I 1448 01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:41,360 was gone for six or seven weeks. And so this is the first I've heard about uh 1449 01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:46,000 the uh parking software or or whatever we call it. 1450 01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:50,080 And I I'm just cur I' I've heard of that stuff before. My wife is from Chicago 1451 01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:54,159 and occasionally when we go downtown Chicago, I think someone in the car was 1452 01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:58,719 using that sort of thing to find a place to park, but it wasn't very satisfactory 1453 01:47:56,480 --> 01:48:02,159 because there's no place to park down there. Um, [laughter] 1454 01:48:00,719 --> 01:48:09,520 I was just wondering how many other cities the size of Rala are are using 1455 01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:16,800 these things. I mean, it's it's it almost seems like a joke that a town 1456 01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:23,280 the size of Rala is, you know, spending money to help find people a place to 1457 01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:28,960 park. So, uh, and and this perception of there not being any 1458 01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:34,159 parking downtown. I go downtown a lot. I go to the restaurants. I all the 1459 01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:38,480 restaurants downtown I've patronized. I go to the coffee shop, the fishing 1460 01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:46,480 store, uh the the library, the banks, and uh I 1461 01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:54,080 never have a problem finding a reason place to park. And I I I I believe you 1462 01:48:51,040 --> 01:49:01,119 said that that there's this perception that there's difficulty parking, but I 1463 01:48:58,480 --> 01:49:06,560 got the impression that there's been studies that say it's not true. Is I 1464 01:49:04,719 --> 01:49:09,440 mean, is that what you were getting at a little while ago? 1465 01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:12,560 » For this part of it, they will not answer. This is your time to speak, but 1466 01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:15,360 they probably will address it and they may have opportunity to address after, 1467 01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:18,960 but they won't go back and forth for the conversation with you. 1468 01:49:16,159 --> 01:49:26,000 » Oh, okay. Well, then then then take my question as a statement. 1469 01:49:21,440 --> 01:49:30,880 » I thought I heard someone up here say that the business owners complain 1470 01:49:28,639 --> 01:49:36,320 there's no place to park. That's their perception. 1471 01:49:32,719 --> 01:49:40,880 But in fact, that is not reality. If that statement is true, why in the world 1472 01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:46,719 would we need the software? And I'll leave you with one thing. Uh uh this 1473 01:49:43,119 --> 01:49:51,920 reminds me. I had an urban uh geography professor who said one of the big 1474 01:49:49,119 --> 01:49:57,520 problems with Americans in the urban area is they spent too much time 1475 01:49:54,560 --> 01:50:01,920 watching cowboy movies. They think they should just be able to ride right up 1476 01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:05,760 directly in front of the swinging doors of the saloon, hitch it up and walk in. 1477 01:50:05,095 --> 01:50:13,679 [snorts] And downtown Rawler is not so big that 1478 01:50:12,301 --> 01:50:18,560 [laughter] if you have tr mobility trouble, they're 1479 01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:25,719 handicap spots. That's it's [laughter] 1480 01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:25,719 I get you up on out of here. 1481 01:50:28,021 --> 01:50:30,041 [laughter] 1482 01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:42,400 » We still have um and Citizen comments, please feel free to step up and you have 1483 01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:48,719 three minutes and we'll start the timer after you say 1484 01:50:44,639 --> 01:50:52,119 your name and your address. Going once, going twice. 1485 01:50:52,239 --> 01:50:59,280 All right, the next item we have on our agenda is mayor, city council comments. 1486 01:50:56,639 --> 01:51:03,840 Um, we have four motions to either reappoint or to appoint. I want to bring 1487 01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:10,719 it to the council's um understanding that I decided to um the for the motion 1488 01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:14,239 to appoint C and D. We're going to move those to the next city council meeting 1489 01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:19,199 so we can get more documentation pertaining to that. And so today we're 1490 01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:23,440 only going to have um A and B. And so the first one, the floor is open for a 1491 01:51:20,719 --> 01:51:27,199 motion to reappoint Mr. Dell Martin to the Industrial Development Authority 1492 01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:32,480 Board for a six-year term. >> Jackson will make a motion. 1493 01:51:29,679 --> 01:51:32,480 » Second. 1494 01:51:33,440 --> 01:51:37,400 Did you get here?
