um

106
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,239
votes. Year one is at $48,000, year two

107
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:51,160
is at $41,000,

108
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,840
and year three it to $82,000.

109
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,000

112
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,000
Um the reason that's changing on year

113
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
three is we're also adding what's called

114
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,959
e-forms. So, it's another level to their

115
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:09,120
product offering and it allows us to

116
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,720
capture all of our data electronically,

117
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,800
so we don't have to

118
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,920
print out 100 different forms and get

119
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,519
them all completed. So, it just allows

120
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,000
everything to be done electronically.

121
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,120
>> Then you note in the financial impact

122
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,480
that there's about a $10,000 savings

123
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,280
over three years. That's not per year,

124
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,320
that's

125
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,720
$10,000 over the course of the

126
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,640
three-year contract.

127
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,280
>> Correct. The first two years have

128
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:33,480
$20,000 savings each and then we

129
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,000
implement the e-forms.

130
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,560

133
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,400
negotiation. We didn't get quotes on

00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:42,720
those.

135
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,640
>> really not an option with a price. It's

136
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,000
just the option to extend based upon a

137
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,840
that quote.

138
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:48,720

00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:08,680
of deferring the other one, should this

not be deferred as well?

148

Would make sense to me, but nothing

>> So, is this going to go like Riverside

191
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Boulevard where you're going to try to

192
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,000
make it a three-lane?

193
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,520
>> Uh that's possibility. We're looking at

194
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,640
everything on this, not just three-lane.

195
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,600
We want to see what the public wants

196
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,640
there

197
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,520
and see what's best

198
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,360
to accommodate our future in the whole

199
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,670
area.

200
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,240
» Did you bid this work or because it's

201
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,000
quality-based, you're not required to

202
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:53,919
bid it?

203
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:56,360
>> We didn't bid it but we did ask for

204
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,919
qualifications

205
00:06:57,919 --> 00:06:59,960
and we reviewed uh I think there was two

206
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,280
or three.

207
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,160
And then we took and we entered

208
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,600
negotiations with that first one.

209
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,270
They were the highest ranked one.

210
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,520
» Okay.

211
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,760
This resolution approving a modification

212
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,760
to the military construction cooperative

213
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,400
agreement with the National Guard Bureau

214
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,000
to add additional funding for the

215
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,520
warm-up holding pad technical

216
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,720
appendix

217
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,640
in connection with runway 1331 and 185th

218
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,760
apron reconstruction project at the

219
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,480
airport.

220
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,720
This resolution approving appendix three

221
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,040
to the memorandum of of agreement with

222
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,840
the Iowa Department of Public Defense

223
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,320
for the warm-up holding pad project in

224
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,720
connection with Runway 1331 and the

225
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,760
185th

226
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,640
apron reconstruction project at the

227
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,240
airport and rescinding resolution

228
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,950
2026-0612.

229
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,880
F is a resolution awarding and approving

230
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,920
a contract to Halstead Excavating for

231
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,160
the Siouxland Nexus Program Volume 5

232
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,480
Tanker Warm-up and Holding Pad Project

233
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,800
at the airport.

234
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,680
G is a resolution

235
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,960
>> Mayor, can I ask a question? So, I know

236
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,480
that D, E, F, and G all correlate to the

237
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,160
same project. I know that this is part

238
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,160
of a much bigger project with the 185th.

239
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,840
The The Halstead contract is about $11

240
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,440
million. It's a little bit more than

241
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,280
the engineers' estimate. Um what I'm

242
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,720
curious about is how we're going to

243
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,280
continue to manage these projects and

244
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,640
phase them.

245
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,320
I know that the Chamber of Commerce is

246
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,200
actively involved in helping lobby and

247
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,880
generate additional funds. Well, I It

248
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,440
doesn't need to necessarily hold up what

249
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,440
we're reviewing and approving today. Can

250
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,560
we get an update? I know part of that

251
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:42,880
was in the presentation that was made 60

252
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,400
days ago, but I think it would just be

253
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,200
helpful to get some additional

254
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,080
commentary. I know there's been some

255
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,280
positive and some negative with regard

256
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,600
to where we think we are with generating

257
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,320
those the additional the funds that are

258
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,120
necessary. And we're talking 100 to 150

259
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,520
million dollars.

260
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,839
Um so, if we could get an update on

261
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,200
that, that'd be great.

262
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,560
>> Uh yeah. So, I think right now the

263
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:05,240
Senate's back in session now, so we're

264
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,800
hoping uh here within the next month.

265
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,160
And then hopefully if they finalize a

266
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,600
bill, we'll know something, you know, by

267
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,320
September.

268
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,960
>> Okay. And then could we just get maybe a

269
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,800
summary on how we're going to phase the

270
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,760
various projects including

271
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,280
>> I I think the phasing will depend on how

272
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,000
the funding comes.

273
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,280
>> Okay.

274
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,720
>> So, this is the one was actually

275
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,960
scheduled to be last, so we're doing it

276
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:23,400
first.

277
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,320
>> That's why we I thought this was a later

278
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:25,960
project.

279
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,640
>> It was, but they approved the funding

280
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,520
for this project and not the others. So,

281
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,880
it really depends.

282
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040
>> And

283
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,520
>> What's that?

284
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,000
>> The switching around.

285
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,400
>> Yeah.

286
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,400
>> And you're comfortable that this is

287
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,360
significantly more at 10% more than the

288
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,640
engineers estimates. You're okay with

289
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,000
this?

290
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,480
>> It is. And and I'm okay with it because

291
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,400
the military is okay with it. So, we we

292
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,280
had a phone call with National Guard

293
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,800
Bureau and that's the reason for the two

294
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,280
modifications cuz they increased the

295
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:51,800
funding.

296
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,520
>> Okay.

297
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,840
Thank you.

298
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,760
G is the resolution.

299
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,110
What's that?

300
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,600
I don't know. Do you go Anybody from the

301
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:11,750
guard or want to talk or

302
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,640
» I don't appreciate the opportunity to

303
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,120
speak. So, first of all, I just want to

304
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,680
say thank you. All the projects with

305
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:20,080
Sula and Nexus are a huge tremendous

306
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,320
future for the 185th and then the

307
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,320
airport in Sioux City.

308
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,360
The

309
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,560
response we get from the local, the the

310
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,280
state, and the national levels has been

311
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,240
incredible. A couple questions you

312
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,160
asked, you know, why is it higher? The

313
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,600
11.8 is where we're our final dollar

314
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,480
amount is. And the bureau has provided

315
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,120
the full 11.8. We have that in hand

316
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,280
locally.

317
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,200
The phasing of the projects did change

318
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,200
thing change things tremendously. We

319
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,720
know we planned on chewing up the

320
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,880
concrete from the runway and using it as

321
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,120
some of the fill out there. We had to

322
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,600
buy things that we would not have had to

323
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,560
buy. That has to do with the phasing.

324
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:57,040
But again, Sula and Nexus is two things.

325
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,960
It's really all the projects. It's the

326
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,280
runway, it's the ramp, and the

327
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,480
extensions, and everything we've been

328
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,200
talking about. But it's really the

329
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,040
people behind it. And then just want to

330
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,680
say thank you to the council and

331
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:07,960
everybody else that's that's made this

332
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,800
possible because it's truly buying us a

333
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,560
really great future.

334
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,960
>> Name for the record, please.

335
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,520
You name We need your name for the

336
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,040
record.

337
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,680
>> Sure.

338
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,600
Colonel Sean Struxness.

339
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,480
Thank you. Any questions?

340
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,440
>> Thank you. No, thank you.

341
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,400
>> Thank you.

342
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,240

00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,830
question on that one.

369

>> last year when the police department

372
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,320
came and asked for this, I

373
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,520
was serving on the civil service. I

374
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,960
remember

375
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,280
wondering will we be able to go back and

376
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,120
look to see what

377
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,840
how the vacancies look versus last year

378
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,400
versus this year.

379
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,520
What do you know, do if you know what

380
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,400
they were last year to this year or how

381
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,960
are we looking with those current

382
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,800
vacancies and

383
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,400
>> Rex Mehl of the police department.

384
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,720
Councilman, I

385
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,760
right now we're actually

386
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,720
hiring less than our vacancies to give

387
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,360
our field training program a bit of a

388
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,600
rest. So,

389
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,120
for one thing, obviously we want to hire

390
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,600
the best candidates, which is what we

391
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,360
always endeavor to do in any process and

392
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,280
this is facilitated that. But I don't

393
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,440
have the numbers in front of me. If

394
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,760
that's something you're curious about,

395
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,920
you've had the benefit that the other

396
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,800
council members haven't of us

397
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,080
discussing discussing this in civil

398
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,800
service and why the transition. But

399
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,720
right now more than anything we're

400
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,480
trying to not overtake our program,

401
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,160
meaning that we have too many people in

402
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,800
the training program

403
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,680
and we kind of exhaust our field

404
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:16,720
training officers. So, we're we're

405
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,760
getting up there. We're at a good level.

406
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,480
We're going to continue with the

407
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,360
council's blessing test in this manner.

408
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,080
And that way, as as aware, we used to

409
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,000
have,

410
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,040
you know, a few years ago it would have

411
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,200
been a 2-year list. And so we were

412
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,880
missing people that came out of the

413
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,680
2-year colleges or that entered the

414
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,880
workforce and by

415
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,560
one of the one of the positive

416
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:39,960
byproducts of doing this is that as we

417
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,800
need a new list, we move to immediately

418
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,200
start creating

419
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,720
group of eligible candidates and it's

420
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,880
worked really well. And a lot of other

421
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,680
communities have followed suit. And as

422
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:52,720
you know, the checks and balances that

423
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,240
would have I mean nepotism, things like

424
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,720
that as you're aware, we have a lot of

425
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,360
checks and balances not only before

426
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,720
hiring but after hiring and and through

427
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,040
the training process to make sure that

428
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,360
candidates are properly screened.

429
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,120
>> Okay, yeah, that and that was

430
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,680
where I was going with that. I I didn't

431
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:10,960
know if this was going to become the new

432
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,120
normal. So

433
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,120
>> I I think I think statewide it will.

434
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,440
We're going to come back to you every

435
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,120
year. If we see a downside, I'll

436
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,640
definitely disclose that. But just

437
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,960
currently with hiring and the way and

438
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,400
the dynamic way that law enforcement

439
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,360
hiring is happening, I just don't see a

440
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,539
downside. I think it's been

441
00:14:28,539 --> 00:14:29,560
[clears throat] positive for the city

442
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,880
and for the department. And again, any

443
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,760
concerns of

444
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,920
the new process, we're happy to answer

445
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,360
this council and the Civil Service

446
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,520
Commission to make sure everybody's

447
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,160
comfortable with the way it functions.

448
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,240
>> Chief, this isn't directed necessarily

449
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,720
at the request under 9A, probably more

450
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,240
to 9B and I don't know if Janelle or

451
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,520
Janet want to maybe address this. The

452
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,920
question I've got is this is the

453
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,200
third or fourth time that we've been

454
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,400
asked to waive the rules. And I think it

455
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,800
needs to be more to more of the

456
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,280
exception than the rule to waive the

457
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,360
rules because there's a reason there's a

458
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,160
Civil Service process, right? I have no

459
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,320
problem with what we approved prior. I

460
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,080
have no problem approving this. And

461
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,040
theoretically, I don't think I have a

462
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,360
problem with 9B, but in the description

463
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,400
of the request to waive rule

464
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,520
or suspend the rule for 9B, it was that

465
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,839
you were not able to attract Parks and

466
00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:24,280
Rec applicants and you were losing that

467
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,240
opportunity within say 3 weeks. And and

468
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,240
I'm not suggesting that we don't need to

469
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,600
suspend if you if you've got to get good

470
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,600
candidates, you want to get good

471
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,560
candidates, you want to be able to

472
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,680
respond, but it's not unusual to be

473
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,960
applying and applying elsewhere and go

474
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,400
through a two or three week process. So,

475
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,600
I'm not opposed to approving 9B under

476
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,120
the consent agenda, but I want to make

477
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,680
sure that we're using this this opportunity to suspend the

478
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,560
rules for the right reasons.

479
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,040
>> Sure.

480
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:51,880
>> Okay.

481
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,240
>> Janelle Bertrant, Human Resources

482
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,560
Director. I will probably have Parks and

483
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Rec discuss their specific vacancy, but

484
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,920
I can speak globally with the reason

485
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,920
that the waiver was in place.

486
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,480
It is because the list is good for 1

487
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,480
year

488
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,080
and you're making a hire, say you say

489
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,840
you certified the list in October, you

490
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,520
could be making a hire in May. So, the

491
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,760
person

492
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,000
is confused as to why that's happening.

493
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,440
You may not have any people on the list.

494
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,200
It's to keep the list current, um to get

495
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,080
an an an active um applicant pool that

496
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,960
departments can move through the hiring

497
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,960
list quicker instead of sitting on that

498
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,680
same list for a year. My department and

499
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,600
I have put um safeguards in place such

500
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,320
as any department that has a waiver is

501
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,000
required to sit through mandatory

502
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,960
training on interviewing. I've also

503
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,920
required that a Human Resources staff be

504
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,680
um

505
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,600
a panel member when they sit in on the

506
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,720
interview. And departments have to

507
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,160
justify to me why they want to

508
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,240
post again. They have to show that they

509
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,160
have interviewed everybody on the list.

510
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,120
You can't just look at the list,

511
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,920
interview let's just say three of the

512
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,880
five and move on. They have to make an

513
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,160
effort to talk to everyone and document

514
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,640
why those people are not the appropriate

515
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,360
hire.

516
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:11,079
>> It's it's helpful with that explanation,

517
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:12,280
Janelle, because you're giving the

518
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,000
guardrails around the

519
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,199
to put rule and the suspension of the

520
00:17:17,199 --> 00:17:18,079
rules, so that helps.

521
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,319
>> Right. And we as an organization chose

522
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:22,319
to bring them up department-wide or

523
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:24,360
department-specific instead of doing a

524
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:26,280
blanket request, we chose to do it by

525
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,600
department.

526
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,240

00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:13,280
» Is it from the staff or from them guys.

559
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:13,640
Huh?

560
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,190
>> Wait.

561
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,800
» Matt can speak to it.

562
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,400
>> I think that's what he said.

563
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,960
>> This ain't slowing them down, is it?

564
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,240
>> Matt Salvatore, Parks and Recreation

565
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,200
Director. We're just waiting on a

566
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,600
certificate of insurance from USA

567
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,000
Hockey. I don't There's some hold up

568
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,560
with that. As soon as we get it, they'll

569
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,440
be able to move forward.

570
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:45,190
>> Good good project.

571
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,600
» 5014's building permits update.

572
00:19:49,600 --> 00:20:00,670
>> Let's go, guys.

573
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,880
» Here, building inspection services

574
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,040
manager. As you can see, you can see the

575
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,840
report has come out again for

576
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,640
residential and commercial. If you have

577
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,880
any questions specifically, please

578
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,760
ask in a way.

579
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,840
One of the things that we've noticed

580
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,560
recently, there's been an uptick in the

581
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,960
commercial aspect of it requesting

582
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,000
sit-downs, which I think is great.

583
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,920
Projects to before the applications are

584
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,680
even sent in or permits are even sent in

585
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,720
to be able to go through and make sure

586
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,800
they're

587
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,560
complete as can be done. So,

588
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,030
it's a good move.

589
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,360
» Uh

590
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:35,640
Marty Doughty, Economic Community

591
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,400
Development Director.

592
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,120
Just an update real quick. We've been

593
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:40,640
hard at it in the

594
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,440
software

595
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,720
implementation

596
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,400
effort. There's As I said before,

597
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,640
there's two sides to it. There's

598
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,080
planning and engineering, which relates

599
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,920
to the land review, basically. And the

600
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,440
other part is the permitting, building

601
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,160
permitting part, which which of course

602
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,120
Daryl is involved in it. So,

603
00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,960
we have these two tracks going on. We've

604
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:03,280
been spending many hours um

605
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,280
in discovering

606
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,760
probably a lot of things that we could

607
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,800
have been doing different with the

608
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,880
software we had and then

609
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,880
um implementing that improving

610
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,680
the process and going forward it's going

611
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,240
to take a lot of work yet to get

612
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,480
everything adjusted and changed over to the new software and then everyone

613
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,840
trained on it. So

614
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,200
that we're right in the middle of that

615
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,560
right now. That's the best I can tell

616
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,120
you is

617
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:30,360
>> What do you think the time frame is

618
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:31,440
Marty?

619
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,880
>> Well, longer than than I than we

620
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,720
thought. You know all honesty

621
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,440
and we had a meeting this morning with

622
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,360
the consultant to talk about that. How

623
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,240
can we can we do to speed that up and um

624
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,520
Mike your thoughts on it but we

625
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,160
are hopeful that we

626
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,280
are going to have another meeting

627
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,280
tomorrow morning and um

628
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,280
on the planning side of it and

629
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,240
identified

630
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,360
the staff people who are the most

631
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,120
critical to be part of that and not have

632
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,800
too many people involved in it until we

633
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,280
get to the training part of it. But

634
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,080
Marty what are some

635
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,560
>> of the things that you're running into

636
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,400
as far as issues or problems

637
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,390
learning or

638
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,560
» I don't know if it's problems so much as

639
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,640
maybe we haven't in the past taken full advantage of the capacity

640
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,240
that the software has in terms of you

641
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,640
know things that we do it this way

642
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,800
manually or we we could have been doing

643
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,600
it more efficiently in terms of the

644
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,960
capabilities of the software. Things

645
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,720
have changed over the years. People have

646
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,560
changed.

647
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,200
The people that first implemented that

648
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,720
are not here anymore and um

649
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,000
we're learning a lot about that and it's honestly it's a little painstaking

650
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,240
going through the process of item by

651
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,080
item. Why do you why do you take so many days to do this

652
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,640
or why do you why do you notify people

653
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,280
in that manner.

654
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,920
Is there a way that we can um

655
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
you co-

656
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,200
this is where I struggle here. The codes

657
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,200
that go into making up the decision in

658
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,520
the software, you know, are tied to

659
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,520
um the data that we have and and um

660
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:13,640
You want to take a shot at that?

661
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,166
>> Sure, I'd be happy to.

662
00:23:15,166 --> 00:23:15,840
>> [laughter]

663
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:16,480
>> Um

664
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,880
>> It's complicated.

665
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,840
>> Our predecessors um you activated as

666
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,360
much as they needed to on the programs

667
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:23,600
to make them function for what they

668
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,640
needed at time. Unfortunately, a lot of

669
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,000
the communications and a lot of parts

670
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,240
that needed to be in place so that one

671
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,600
thing would read off of another read off

672
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,800
of another. So, one of the frustrations

673
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,520
we've had over the years of not being

674
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,200
able to get reports printed out quickly

675
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,440
and see, you know, measure our our

676
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,320
efficiencies and deficiencies, quite

677
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,360
frankly both. Um and those all those

678
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,720
things are going to take a lot of time.

679
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,600
You know, one of the things that have

680
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,680
been frustrating for me and I'll just

681
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,160
give it out as an example, it's going to

682
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,520
take a long time to get it fixed but

683
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,400
once it gets it fixed, it's going to

684
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,200
save us an incredible amount of of waste

685
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,280
dollars down the road is rental permits

686
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,080
for instance. Rental permits every

687
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,560
single year we have to manually go in

688
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,640
and change every single permit. And

689
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,800
we're talking thousands and thousands and thousands of

690
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,680
properties and it takes about three to

691
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,000
four screens to go through manually on

692
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,520
each and every one of those. So, the

693
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,800
amount of staff time to do that is is is

694
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,360
huge. It should have never been under

695
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:14,640
the app permit side, it should have been

696
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,440
under the business license side. We're

697
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,720
finding those things out, all those

698
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,760
little things. Contractor files, being

699
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,040
able to have those informations in there

700
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,840
for so for the permitting process.

701
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:23,800
There's a lot of things that will tie

702
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,400
together that will make it much more

703
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,520
efficient. Unfortunately, it's going to

704
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,280
delay our time in getting it set up and

705
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,880
running. We want to do it right. We

706
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,360
don't want to force it this time just to

707
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:34,520
make, you know, just to make some

708
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,960
reports quick or, you know, I mean

709
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,160
ultimately we started this thing to be

710
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,480
able to do online permits. Let's face

711
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,680
it. That was the biggest thing we wanted

712
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,840
to do was be able to make payments

713
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,320
online and and submit permits online.

714
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,760
And it's it's

715
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,080
blowing into this much larger project

716
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,720
unfortunately that will take us more

717
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,160
time but I think in the long run it's

718
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,240
well worth the investment of time to get

719
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,080
it right.

720
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,880
>> Do you think that this will be the right

721
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,320
product that we have, you know, versus

722
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,720
getting down the road and saying this

723
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,840
may not even be what

724
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,560
>> You know, if you'd asked me that

725
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,680
question a month ago, I'd have probably

726
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,960
had a completely different answer than I

727
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,400
have today. I think today I'm I'm I'm

728
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,880
drinking the Kool-Aid.

729
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:12,600
Um

730
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:13,720
It it's it's

731
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,000
>> more training. I'm like, what?

732
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,320
>> Well, I just I don't want to I don't

733
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,360
want to fall in the same trap that we

734
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:20,600
fell into decades ago. And and that I

735
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,200
don't want to see us fall into that

736
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,960
trap. We're We've got a lot of financial

737
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,000
investment into this. We're going to

738
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,360
have a lot of wage dollars invested in

739
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:27,960
this, and I want it to be a good product

740
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,080
for many, many years to come. And I

741
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,760
think we're there with the right

742
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,480
product. We just have to get the right

743
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,760
information in the right places to be

744
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:34,920
able to do that.

745
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,200
>> Do we have our IT department working in

746
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,520
conjunction with

747
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,600
>> Oh, absolutely. Yeah. We have several

748
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,200
meetings, and mostly at least once or

749
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,280
twice a week we have 4-hour or

750
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,000
3-to-4-hour meetings with them getting

751
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,520
our business plan in place on how this

752
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,640
is going to function, how all these

753
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,600
things tie together, so that when you're

754
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,080
reading this, it pulls information from

755
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,600
everywhere. This is not just going to

756
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,000
span just the building department and

757
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,080
the engineering department and the

758
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,120
planning and zoning departments. We're

759
00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:01,520
going to include fire in this. We're

760
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,720
going to include a lot of every other

761
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,440
areas where all that information comes

762
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,160
into one place. Plus, it's going to

763
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,520
allow the public to be able to view

764
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,120
their case or the online as well, so

765
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:13,800
they they can see where the progress is.

766
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,160
It might be It might have just be a

767
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,200
building permit. It might be the

768
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,400
nuisance case, um for instance. They can

769
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,600
go in there and see what it was and what

770
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,440
the inspector's notes have got on the

771
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,920
case as well. So, it's going to be a lot

772
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,520
more open to the public. Um so, we won't

773
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,080
we don't want errors. We want it right,

774
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,160
so when the public's looking at it,

775
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,240
they're not going to get frustrated and

776
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,520
just walk away from it.

777
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,760
>> This this is This is going to sound

778
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,520
crazy to you, but actually the process

779
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,120
we're going through

780
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:39,600
step by step, item by item, they're asking, "Why are you doing it

781
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,360
Why do you do it this way?"

782
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:42,320
Well,

783
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,680
maybe we don't have a great reason.

784
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,120
Maybe there's a different way we we

785
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:46,000
could do it and we should have been

786
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,200
doing it. But, it's painstaking cuz

787
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,080
you're going through every single every

788
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:55,520
single code, every single line of um co- of the way in which the

789
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,320
software is written and customizing it

790
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,040
to us doesn't seem to me like there

791
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,880
should have to be that much customizing,

792
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,600
you know, because you would think

793
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,800
approval of a building permit or

794
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,600
whatever is is pretty standard practice,

795
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,200
but given the the city the the history

796
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,800
of it and all the data that's in there

797
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,160
and um

798
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,800
the processes that we've followed in the

799
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,840
past, it it's it's it's coming becoming

800
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,400
clear to us that we what we need to do

801
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,520
is just taking a long time and and you

802
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:21,760
know, you can't take away we don't have

803
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,200
a big staff, can't take them away from

804
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,400
their everyday job at the same time and

805
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,360
that's that's the only concern that I

806
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:30,600
would have is that we we we keep doing

807
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,800
this while we're doing everything else

808
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,680
we're doing as you can see on those

809
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,600
weekly reports

810
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,200
about how many permits or how many

811
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,480
approvals take place or are pending at

812
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,720
any given time. We don't want to stop

813
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,520
that at the [clears throat] same time.

814
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:42,880
So

815
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,440
>> already with the complexity and the

816
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,160
length that you're seeing

817
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,440
you have a concern

818
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,760
I D in anybody's mind, but

819
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,640
identified a consultant and advisors

820
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,920
that are working on the project with

821
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,760
you. Any fear that you're going to come

822
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,240
forward with this change order?

823
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,200
>> Um that's not the plan. I I'm

824
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:02,920
>> That's the right answer.

825
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,679
>> Yeah, I I don't think so.

826
00:28:04,679 --> 00:28:05,240
>> [laughter]

827
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,000
>> Honestly, I'd be I I'm not a big

828
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,609
consultant fan in the first place.

829
00:28:08,609 --> 00:28:09,600
[clears throat] I'd make you got experts

830
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,240
in place that need to do their job and

831
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,720
we we you know, give us the opportunity

832
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,160
to do it and we'll do it.

833
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,640
>> So briefly real quick Daryl, first of

834
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,840
all, um compliment you personally. Your

835
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,120
part of your you are a big chunk of

836
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:22,560
grease that is keeping the wheel moving

837
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,240
right now when it comes to the the field

838
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,920
the the bridge between the field and the

839
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,640
permitting. Um but are you getting tired

840
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,720
of the phone calls? Of being having to

841
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,440
be the grease. So my question to you is

842
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,000
and this is respectfully to the people

843
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,680
that are there.

844
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:35,920
>> Yeah.

845
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,800
>> I feel the residential side of it um

846
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,480
that individual is making more decisions

847
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,320
and pushing the stuff through. I'm still

848
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,760
more concerned on the commercial side of

849
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,680
it that we're having to go in there and

850
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,120
say, you know, why why do I have to take

851
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,320
phone call? Why do you got to take the

852
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,720
phone call? Is it Is it a fear of I'm

853
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,040
not of

854
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,440
You know where I'm going at this fear of

855
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,200
I'm not doing my job right or at some

856
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,920
point it's like Is this Is this Is this

857
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,360
Is that department Is that employee

858
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,960
being retrained to a point to say open

859
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,720
your mind up and get it to the field.

860
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,800
>> Yeah, we're getting we're getting over

861
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,000
>> Getting back You're You're pushing it

862
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,640
but that's exhausting and I'm not sure

863
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,480
that a council member and

864
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,040
a department head needs to be involved

865
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,080
in

866
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:15,440
>> Yeah.

867
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,280
>> You know what I mean? It's a lot of work

868
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:16,760
for you.

869
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,400
>> Yeah, I I don't think we're 100% there

870
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,040
yet. I mean [clears throat] I'm being

871
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,160
very honest with you. I don't think

872
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,640
we're 100% there yet I mean obviously

873
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,080
but I think we're we're making strides

874
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,240
and there's a lot more communication

875
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,720
>> Well, I mean there's a lot more

876
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,320
communication too that's happening from that from that end as well coming

877
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,320
to me and getting to the direction of

878
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,960
which direction and and we're we are we

879
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,800
are making strides. We're not there yet

880
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,960
obviously but we are making progress.

881
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,080
>> Thank you but I mean you know where I'm

882
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:41,520
going.

883
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:42,120
>> Absolutely.

884
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,200
>> Yeah, but it's at some point it's like

885
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,720
hey man, you get it to the field.

886
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,040
>> Mhm.

887
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,000
>> Okay.

888
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,320
>> Yes, my name is Milton Carter.

889
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,600
I'd like to ask some some questions.

890
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,680
Okay, like uh

891
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,520
>> Name, please.

892
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,520
>> My name is Milton Carter. I'm from Sioux

893
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,320
City. Okay, every time I come to this

894
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,440
meeting, y'all always making strides.

895
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,480
What y'all about 5% now maybe 10 because

896
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,640
know something what y'all talking about

897
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,160
now y'all should have been had it done.

898
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,640
Okay, why don't you get some little IT

899
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,960
students coming up and cook up your

900
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,600
computers so you can be back where

901
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,440
everybody else at because what y'all

902
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,120
doing now y'all milking the kitty.

903
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,120
>> Okay.

904
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,080
>> See

905
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,360
this stuff what you talking about now

906
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,680
from last year to now it should have

907
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,280
been done.

908
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,200
See, but every time y'all come in y'all

909
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,920
making strides but the strides ain't

910
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,560
making nothing. Y'all ain't telling

911
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,920
nobody nothing how the strides ain't

912
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,840
made or what going on with the strides

913
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,280
or nothing. Y'all just making strides.

914
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,400
In your mind you're doing good but out

915
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,680
here y'all doing bad.

916
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,040
See, because nobody know what you doing.

917
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,000
People want to know what you doing.

918
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,960
that, we making fire. The weed my

919
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,360
weed laying on the standing computer

920
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,360
like this and that and another.

921
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,880
Get some people in there who understand

922
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,720
the computer for you.

923
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,320
So, you can do what you got to do.

924
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,760
Because what y'all doing now, y'all

925
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,150
making the kitty.

926
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,600
» And I'll say, I think Marty and Daryl

927
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,360
they're

928
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,400
very transparent about this process.

929
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:13,800
We've talked about the permitting and

930
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,560
the inspection and the oversight and and

931
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,120
the direction of this council has been

932
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,720
that we want to see modification and

933
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,840
process. They already and Daryl and

934
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,040
their teams have been very candid, very

935
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,920
forthright about progress that they're

936
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,240
making. It may be maybe a little bit

937
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,240
delayed and I think that's to both of

938
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,560
their frustration and their team's

939
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,480
frustration as well, but I think they've

940
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,840
been very candid and I think we're

941
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,990
working towards a good solution.

942
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,600
» But still,

943
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,640
when they come in,

944
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,560
at least put something on the table so

945
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,600
everybody can understand that time where

946
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,840
they making fire.

947
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,920
See?

948
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,400
Cuz what they doing now don't make no

949
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,120
sense to me. Probably nobody out here

950
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,280
don't make no sense to.

951
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,640
>> you haven't ever taken out a building

952
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,360
permit, it probably doesn't make sense,

953
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,440
but it's not a process that happens

954
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,360
overnight.

955
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,600
>> I know building mid all that take time.

956
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,280
It's a process. I know all that.

957
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,200
>> it takes time to computerize stuff that

958
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,360
hasn't been computerized.

959
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,720
>> The thing is, when they come

960
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,880
>> I don't think anybody Now, can let me

961
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,440
finish. Now, I like to talk.

962
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,200
>> Go ahead. My I'm my fault.

963
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,400
>> Okay.

964
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,880
I don't think anybody sitting here

965
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,520
thought this was going to happen in two

966
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,040
or three months.

967
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,920
Well, they're making progress,

968
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,920
especially in the home area. That's a

969
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,600
big step.

970
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,760
So, you you know,

971
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040
I don't think anybody I'm not involved

972
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,640
with it. Rick's involved more than I am,

973
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,160
but I don't think there's a

974
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,360
disappointment on their part of what how

975
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,200
it's happening.

976
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,440
And

977
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,080
at the end of the day, what we're trying

978
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,440
to do is become more user-friendly. You

979
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,000
may not like that they don't speak in

980
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,680
terms that everybody understands,

981
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,880
but unless you had to take out a

982
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,280
building permit, you're not going to

983
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,280
understand it.

984
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240
>> And I I appreciate what you're saying,

985
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,120
sir. We're we're the time that we're

986
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,720
trying to improve the process, at the

987
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,920
same time we're also working with

988
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,480
builders and developers in issuing

989
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,200
permits every day and doing what we've

990
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,840
always done and trying to ensure safety

991
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,400
for the public and for for the homeowner

992
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,800
or the property owner and we're still

993
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,280
doing all that. At the same time, we're

994
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,840
trying to improve the process and and uh

995
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,440
long take a long-term view that um

996
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Sioux City will be a a great easy place

997
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,760
to develop and get a permit, but at the

998
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,240
same time we're protecting the public

999
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,880
safety and ensuring that the rules are

1000
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,040
followed. So, uh I I wish it would go

1001
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,480
faster. We're trying as fast as we can

1002
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,960
and I appreciate your point of view. I I

1003
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,720
do. Um I've seen you at a lot of

1004
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:42,880
meetings. I know you've been listening

1005
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,280
to this, so but um we we are at the same

1006
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,040
time every day doing our job of of

1007
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,240
people who are reviewing building plans

1008
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,240
and site plans and all that. It we

1009
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,560
didn't stop doing that because of this.

1010
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,480
Let me

1011
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,760
make sense.

1012
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,720
>> Okay.

1013
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,000
>> All right.

1014
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,560
Thank you.

1015
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:00,880
>> Thanks.

1016
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,360
>> Go to the park.

1017
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,080
>> Thank you, guys.

1018
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:09,830
>> Thanks, guys.

1019
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,879
» Council members, you should have week 32

1020
00:34:11,879 --> 00:34:13,879
and 33 would have been the most recent

1021
00:34:13,879 --> 00:34:15,240
uh information pulled from the HEART

1022
00:34:15,240 --> 00:34:17,960
team. Uh they continue to do a good job.

1023
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,760
One of the things I have encouraged them

1024
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,840
to do, though, is identify frustrations.

1025
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,200
They've got barriers, but I want them to

1026
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,000
let me know where they run into barriers

1027
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,440
so that we can help them remove those

1028
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,879
barriers. And so, they have a meeting

1029
00:34:30,879 --> 00:34:33,080
tomorrow. They have a weekly meeting.

1030
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,000
And if there's anything that you want me

1031
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,399
to pass on to the heart team the heart

1032
00:34:37,399 --> 00:34:39,320
group tomorrow's meeting, please let me

1033
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,200
know.

1034
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,960
Otherwise, hopefully those discussions

1035
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,720
will occur. I want them to be effective

1036
00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:46,320
and as they address barriers,

1037
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,679
they seek guidance or assistance from us

1038
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:49,919
so that they can overcome those

1039
00:34:49,919 --> 00:34:52,600
barriers. But still remains relevant.

1040
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,520
Obviously, we know that and we predicted

1041
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,334
this. We talked about this. That

1042
00:34:57,334 --> 00:34:57,560
>> [clears throat]

1043
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,200
>> the change in weather would have a

1044
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,040
change in issues and we have seen things

1045
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,640
change a little bit. Cook Park has been

1046
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,160
a become a bit more of a problem with

1047
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,360
activity and so we've seen some

1048
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,280
movement. And the heart team is

1049
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,760
appropriately identified that and

1050
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,120
they're working

1051
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,000
to address that. Obviously, one of the

1052
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,160
bigger frustrations with cleanups

1053
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,600
becomes private property. So, that's

1054
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,720
still an issue is trying to work with

1055
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,720
private property owners

1056
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,400
to help with encampment.

1057
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,360
>> I have one and it's not your fault from

1058
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,080
what I understand from talking to Daryl.

1059
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,600
It's the legal department's fault, but

1060
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,240
even senior

1061
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:35,040
>> I think I know what you're saying.

1062
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,880
>> There's a car been on Market Street now

1063
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,560
for at least a month and a half.

1064
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,760
It is so full of garbage.

1065
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,080
It's garbage over the top. Big bags of

1066
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,480
cans.

1067
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,400
If that were in my front yard, you would

1068
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,640
tag my house.

1069
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,680
But because it's on a car, our legal

1070
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,880
department says we can't do anything. If

1071
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,720
that's the case, an ordinance needs to

1072
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:01,000
be written. Drive by

1073
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
It's embarrassing for this city.

1074
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,480
I've been

1075
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:05,920
It's the

1076
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,320
>> We've We've addressed the occupants.

1077
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,560
We've tried to deal with it because

1078
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,320
obviously if it's if it's a vehicle that

1079
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,880
doesn't move, we can address it that

1080
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,800
way. Officers have been in contact. They

1081
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,000
have subsequently moved the vehicles.

1082
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,080
But you're right, Mayor. We're kind of

1083
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:19,840
in a little

1084
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,080
>> No, man. You wouldn't let me have that

1085
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,800
in my front yard. That car sitting in my

1086
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,920
front yard, you would be there telling

1087
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,440
me to But because he parks it on a

1088
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,400
public street, makes no sense to me.

1089
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,200
>> he's moving it every 24 hours.

1090
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,880
>> care. It's still

1091
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,400
>> I don't get it.

1092
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,720
>> No, we're aware of it and I

1093
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:36,480
>> I know you are.

1094
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:37,520
>> Just off of West

1095
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,400
>> up to Stevens so he can figure out how

1096
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,280
to take care of situations like that.

1097
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,840
Neighbors should not have to live with

1098
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,360
that in their front yard.

1099
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,400
So,

1100
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,400
anything else for Hart?

1101
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,840
>> Uh Chief, since you're here, I was going

1102
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,440
to bring this up during or council

1103
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,200
concerns, but since you're up, Mike, I

1104
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,400
can I get an update? I sent a memo, an

1105
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,720
email to you and about seven other

1106
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:04,880
people including the chief on

1107
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,680
visiting about a campus concept to

1108
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,000
address the homeless and transient

1109
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,920
population issues, many of which Rick

1110
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,280
has raised as well. Can I get an update?

1111
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,720
Doesn't need to be tonight. Can I get an

1112
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:17,000
update on the discussions? Jill, I know

1113
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,760
was part of that. Marty and Renee were

1114
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,080
part of that.

1115
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,920
Um and can we just get an update? Thank

1116
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:22,440
you.

1117
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:23,400
>> No, Chief, you're going to give us the

1118
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,560
data, too, on the

1119
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,675
>> Yep, just got it today. So,

1120
00:37:26,675 --> 00:37:27,040
[clears throat]

1121
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,480
>> Just counselor, so we I think you I

1122
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,480
copied everybody. Going to get a the

1123
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,560
radius data again around

1124
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,640
Nebraska Street and all that up in

1125
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,320
there. Just an update on what kind of

1126
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,920
activities Getting better? If it is,

1127
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,080
we'll acknowledge it. If it isn't,

1128
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,600
>> Uh one of the things though, uh I'll I'll caution you depending on how

1129
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,240
we run the data, we might not have

1130
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:46,280
comparative data. So, I haven't had a

1131
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,760
chance to look at that, but I'll send it

1132
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,640
to you in its bare form. If crime

1133
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,400
analysis has any comments for me, I'll

1134
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,400
provide those to you so you can at least

1135
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,680
know where they're coming from. We're

1136
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,480
sometimes limited by what we can draw

1137
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,720
from our our systems as far as reports,

1138
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:02,880
but I as always, they're going to work

1139
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,000
their tail off for you to get your

1140
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,320
information. So,

1141
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,150
>> Thank you.

1142
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:14,950
» All right, citizen concerns.

1143
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,640
» Hello. Um I'm Lilian Rodriguez and I'm

1144
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,240
here today with Carlos Hurtado and Olga

1145
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,400
Guevara. And we wanted just to inform

1146
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,920
you about Mexico in el corazon.

1147
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,120
It's a folklorical group that we brought

1148
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,880
last year. And these dancers are from my

1149
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,560
hometown Guadalajara in Mexico. And they

1150
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,040
are about 80 dancers and it was a great

1151
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,200
success. So I'm going to have Carlos to

1152
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,240
talk a little bit about it and then Olga

1153
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:45,800
is going to finish the details.

1154
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,200
>> Hi.

1155
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,680
I'm sorry as Lilian mentioned my name is

1156
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,000
Carlos Hurtado.

1157
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
So Mexico in el corazon is coming back

1158
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,520
for a second year. It's their 12th year

1159
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,400
on an international tour.

1160
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,760
They perform on over 40 cities across

1161
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,640
the US and Canada.

1162
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,800
They performed at Mount Rushmore,

1163
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,280
performed at Millennium Park in Chicago,

1164
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,200

1165
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,080
delighted to have them come back this

1166
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,120

00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,960
of what occurred last year with this

1221
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,120
event. So,

1222
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,440
Bob, Mayor Scott, thank you for

1223
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:11,960
attending last year, and we hope to see

1224
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,120
you again this year.

1225
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,480
>> Thank you.

1226
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,000
Thanks for your presentation. Just a

1227
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,280
couple of things. Let us know what we

1228
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,920
can do to help. I know you had a chance

1229
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,840
to visit with Reagan before the meeting

1230
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,440
started, and and I think we'd all

1231
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,240
encourage you to visit with Stacy

1232
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:26,920
Anderson and her team at Explore Sioux

1233
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,280

1234
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:30,320
resource for you to do some

1235
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,160
co-marketing, some co-branding of the

1236
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,600
city and the event itself. And I look

1237
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,360
forward to seeing the t-shirt that says

1238
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,240

1239
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:40,320

1245
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,040
>> And I would add that it's a great show.

1246
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,520
Having worked

1247
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,680
with it last year, phenomenal

1248
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,228
opportunity for Sioux City, and and it's

1249
00:41:55,228 --> 00:41:56,320
[clears throat] exciting to have it

1250
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:57,840
back. And so.

1251
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,360
>> Yes, thank you.

1252
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:06,950
>> Thank you.

1253
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,560
» Hi, my name is Robin Shiro. I live at

1254
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,360
311 East Washington Street in Elk Point.

1255
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,840
I'm today I'm here because I'm the

1256
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,520
secretary of the Sioux City Lions Club

1257
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,480
and I'm asking for your help. Um, I

1258
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,080
contacted your environmental specialist

1259
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,360
um, to ask if we could um, go ahead and

1260
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,200
have a clean up street in Sioux City.

1261
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,000
Because most of our members are over 65

1262
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,560
um, on the average and um, not able to

1263
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,520
do hills and things like that, we um,

1264
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,960
wanted to see if we could have a street

1265
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,040
maybe was more level and also that's

1266
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,480
safe because a lot of them are 65 years

1267
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,680
old. Some of them are even walkers and

1268
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,760
probably will help us um, in that case.

1269
00:42:50,760 --> 00:43:08,270
Um, I want to give you some information.

1270
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,040
» People have people have wanted wanted

1271
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,200
>> You had that for 6 months.

1272
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,480
>> 6 months.

1273
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,070
>> Get over it.

1274
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,990
» Thank you.

1275
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,440
Um, so uh, I've been trying to work with

1276
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:26,960
your environmental specialist on this

1277
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,320
issue because like I stated we need

1278
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,760
specific requirements. We had asked if

1279
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,560
the Cheyenne Boulevard might be an

1280
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,320
issue. We went out and looked in your

1281
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,480
community and saw that there was no uh,

1282
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,040
sign on that area and and it seemed like

1283
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,360
it was a safe area for us and maybe

1284
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,640
flatter for uh, those of us that need

1285
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,360
it. And um, but in working with your

1286
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,440
environmental specialist, she stated

1287
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,280
that somebody already had that area.

1288
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,320
What

1289
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,720
and so we're looking to find an area if

1290
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:56,920
it is taken. It didn't have a sign on

1291
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,680
it. So and it she said maybe it's a

1292
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,880
church. Usually churches do have signs.

1293
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,560
So I guess I'm just looking for your

1294
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,280
help to find an area that might be a

1295
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,400
safe and flat area for the Lions Club to

1296
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:10,000
help.

1297
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,680
>> That might be the easiest request we

1298
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,800
have all day.

1299
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:13,640
>> Is it?

1300
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:14,640
>> Absolutely.

1301
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:15,880
>> Well, that's why I knocked your sign

1302
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:16,710
over. Sorry.

1303
00:44:16,710 --> 00:44:18,040
>> [laughter]

1304
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,440
>> I am familiar with your request for the

1305
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,600
Cheyenne Boulevard.

1306
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:22,520
>> Okay.

1307
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,200
And if there's just another area

1308
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,280
>> It is taken and it I believe it was

1309
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,320
taken by someone who doesn't care to

1310
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,120
have a sign up to have it made public

1311
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,320
and I can't say that it's a church, but

1312
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,000
>> And we can appreciate that. It's just

1313
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,160
that

1314
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,000
she's not excited to work with us to

1315
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,120
find another area.

1316
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,120
>> Oh, she very much is. She She expressed

1317
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,040
to me she'll be more than happy to

1318
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,640
>> Well, when I left my message with her, I that's not what I heard back. So, I

1319
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,240
guess, you know, I'm looking for your

1320
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:51,600
help to encourage her to help us find

1321
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:52,560
one.

1322
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:53,960
>> I'll follow up with her as well.

1323
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,680
>> That's a flat one. That's awesome.

1324
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,200
>> I've already thought of something for

1325
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:57,400
you.

1326
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,000
>> Good. And then, um I just wanted to I

1327
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,520
know the last time I was here I

1328
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,240
mentioned about the Pierce Mansion and

1329
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:05,320
volunteering for that. And I just want

1330
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,680
to let you know that, um there's been

1331
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,520
two issues with the Pierce Mansion since

1332
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,320
then. Um one of them is we went ahead

1333
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,320
and worked with I'm a master gardener

1334
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,280
and I worked with the um Wild Ones to um

1335
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,280
do their what they consider to be

1336
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,400
volunteer hours required by the

1337
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,560
university to keep your continuing

1338
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,480
education hours for uh master gardener

1339
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,000
was to have the Wild Ones uh do the uh

1340
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,320
landscaping there and and pruning of

1341
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,200
trees and shrubs and I know that they're

1342
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,320
um

1343
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:40,280
they're uh what they consider to be They do things different. We should do

1344
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,560
things in certain forms to keep them so

1345
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,800
that they grow and they have more light

1346
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,520
and different things. And so, um I

1347
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,960
scheduled it with um I had talked to

1348
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,840
everybody that's our volunteers there

1349
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,560
and I scheduled it with the Wild Ones

1350
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,600
and then somebody at the Pierce Mansion

1351
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,920
canceled it. So, since I was here, I

1352
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:02,000
worried that maybe it's because I made a

1353
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,960
comment and wanted your help that maybe

1354
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,280
they were now discouraging things like

1355
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,160
that. I no longer receive the emails as

1356
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,800
a volunteer since I spoke here. So, I'm

1357
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,760
wondering is this like a whistleblower

1358
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,000
thing that when somebody comes forward

1359
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,400
to your city council that then they are

1360
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,720
taken off the volunteer list because

1361
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:23,200
they wanted your help? I mean, that's

1362
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,840
what it feels like to me in both those

1363
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,440
areas. So, if you could check into

1364
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:27,840
those, that would be greatly

1365
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,000
appreciated. Thank you for your time.

1366
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,080
Again, since I was a county

1367
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,480
commissioner, I appreciate all that you

1368
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,800
do. Thank you.

1369
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,120
>> Thank Thanks, Robin.

1370
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:43,590
Anyone else?

1371
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,240
» Good evening, Council, Mayor.

1372
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:48,640
Uh my name is Jeremy Harrison. I I serve

1373
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,080
as president of the New Susu City

1374
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,880
Community Development Initiative.

1375
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,320
And um over the past several days, um I

1376
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,760
have been speaking directly with

1377
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,280
residents uh throughout our community on

1378
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,720
the north side, west side, uh

1379
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:06,320
Morningside area. And I've been asking

1380
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,680
them a simple question.

1381
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,480
Um I've been asking them as the city

1382
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,400
moves forward with the process of

1383
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,000
selecting the new police chief, uh do

1384
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,920
you believe that the citizens should

1385
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,520
have an opportunity to provide input

1386
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,920
before that decision is finalized?

1387
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,560
And the responses that I received from

1388
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,760
those conversations that I had are what

1389
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,040
I would like to share with you this

1390
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,440
evening.

1391
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,240
So, the first thing that I found that

1392
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:33,360
was surprising to me is I had asked

1393
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,880
people whether

1394
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,920
uh they would like to have a more

1395
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,680
aggressive uh police force here. And

1396
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,640
with that question, uh this city is

1397
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,280
actually genuinely split.

1398
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,120
Um 38% of the people said yes, and 40%

1399
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,920
of the people said no.

1400
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,560
And 22% said only in specific uh

1401
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,720
specific areas or specific situations.

1402
00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:58,800
You know, there's no clear uh preference

1403
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,520
for one approach over the other.

1404
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,120
You know, the city is divided and

1405
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,480
divided almost exactly down the middle.

1406
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,160
So, if residents themselves aren't

1407
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,400
unified on tactics,

1408
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,600
uh that raises the obvious question, who

1409
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,280
should decide?

1410
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:16,760
And that's where the third question I

1411
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,720
asked becomes the whole point of

1412
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:20,880
standing here today.

1413
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,320
I asked the citizens,

1414
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,200
"Would you support a public engagement

1415
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,040
process before the next chief is

1416
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,120
actually hired for Sioux City?"

1417
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,680
And 98% of those citizens that I spoke

1418
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,720
to said, "Yes."

1419
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:36,520
98% of the people who took the time to

1420
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,560
listen to what I had to say and actually

1421
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,680
sign on to my petition

1422
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,360
um are telling this council the same

1423
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,120
thing in one voice.

1424
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,120
That we don't need you to guess what we

1425
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:48,240
want.

1426
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:50,680
Just ask us.

1427
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,000
So,

1428
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,880
uh when I asked residents what they

1429
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,720
actually cared about, violent crime came

1430
00:48:56,720 --> 00:48:58,600
up the most, uh followed by

1431
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,040
homelessness, uh community relations was

1432
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,280
next, and then mental health in that

1433
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,600
order.

1434
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,800
It was not one issue, but a cluster of

1435
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,160
issues that point to a chief who can

1436
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,560
hold enforcement and social services

1437
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,160
together at the same time, not one or

1438
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:15,520
the other.

1439
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,440
So, here's my request.

1440
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,640
Before the council and city manager uh

1441
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,200
finalize a decision on the next chief of

1442
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,320
police,

1443
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:23,720
um I respectfully request that the

1444
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:25,720
council conduct a formal public

1445
00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:27,480
engagement process.

1446
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,720
It could be a city-wide survey,

1447
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:31,760
uh open forum, whatever format that you

1448
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,080
guys choose.

1449
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,160
So, that the direction of this

1450
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,240
department reflects the priorities of

1451
00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:38,360
the people it serves.

1452
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:39,680
Um it's not a request to tie the

1453
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,840
council's hands on who gets hired. It's

1454
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,680
just a request to make sure that whoever

1455
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,360
gets hired is hired with the community's

1456
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,680
voice already in the room.

1457
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,520
Uh the petition has shown that there is

1458
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,840
actually real citizen interest in having

1459
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,720
their input considered.

1460
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:56,120
And if this council commits to that

1461
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,360
process,

1462
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,040
I believe hundreds more across the city

1463
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,240
will say the same thing. Thank you.

1464
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:02,920
>> Thank you.

1465
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,120
>> Can I ask how many people you surveyed?

1466
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,560
>> I got up to I think it was 53.

1467
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,280
Yeah, it was a short process. I had like

1468
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:11,920
four days. I wanted to try to get it

1469
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,520
done as soon as possible, but

1470
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,040
>> I think a public survey is not a bad

1471
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,880
idea. We can, you know, discuss it and

1472
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,480
I think we may have time to be able to

1473
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:21,720
put something like that together that

1474
00:50:21,720 --> 00:50:23,240
people can easily just do it from their

1475
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:25,560
home cuz a lot of times they can't get

1476
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,040
here or they don't have time or they're

1477
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,200
working or whatever. And a lot of times

1478
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:30,920
just being able to answer a survey

1479
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,600
questionnaire on your phone or from your

1480
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,680
PC or your tablet will work a lot

1481
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:35,280
better.

1482
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:36,080
>> That's perfect.

1483
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,480
>> Jeremy, I've I've got I'm sorry.

1484
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,120
I had a quick question

1485
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,880
or comment and a question.

1486
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,440
Mike, isn't there a community input

1487
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,480
aspect to the hiring phases?

1488
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,160
>> There is. We're intending to have

1489
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:50,800
individuals on a community panel that

1490
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,960
represent different demographics and

1491
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,000
populations of the community. Just that

1492
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,840
have been community leaders

1493
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,840
we know we will go to as part of the

1494
00:50:58,840 --> 00:50:59,960
process as well.

1495
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:00,920
>> Okay. Awesome.

1496
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,240
>> And my question is can you give me a

1497
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:04,120
little bit of background who who who or

1498
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,040
what is the new Sioux City Development

1499
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:06,920
Initiative?

1500
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,240
>> Yes, of course. So, the organization

1501
00:51:09,240 --> 00:51:11,960
just focus on research and advocacy

1502
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,080
community issues economic development

1503
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,320
just trying to

1504
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,320
look for ways and opportunities that we

1505
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:23,000
can help Sioux City grow and

1506
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,720
just take advantage of opportunities

1507
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:27,840
that we have to make Sioux City better.

1508
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:28,680
>> Thank you.

1509
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,640
>> Jeremy, was it Jeremy, is it safe to say

1510
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:31,640
that

1511
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:32,960
what you've seen here in the last few

1512
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,720
months though, this isn't a reflection

1513
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:35,920
of any other kind, that this this

1514
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,160
council that all five of us are

1515
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,280
extremely transparent in this process.

1516
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:40,520
The people the conversations that we're

1517
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,520
having sometimes painful, sometimes not.

1518
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:43,480
And even at the beginning of this

1519
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,440
process we started to talk Um,

1520
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:47,680
the hiring of the chief as I mean I

1521
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,080
think it's been extremely transparent

1522
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,080
and inviting feedback um

1523
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,160
from the public. And I know that the the

1524
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,360
feedback just walking through Walmart

1525
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,040
and Menards and everything else has been

1526
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,080
extremely positive I think to all of us

1527
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,240
that they appreciate that we're asking

1528
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:03,080
for feedback.

1529
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,760
>> Yes, 100% 100%.

1530
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:05,760
>> when you get the feedback, sometimes you

1531
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,400
got to be careful what you the answer

1532
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,320
you get.

1533
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:08,440
>> Yeah.

1534
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:09,800
>> But then maybe it's just I'm a magnet

1535
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,680
for it, but the feedback I get it's that

1536
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,920
people are ready they want they they want to feel safe like you

1537
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,240
said. They they want to be safe in the

1538
00:52:16,240 --> 00:52:17,720
community. Um, they want to be able to

1539
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:19,960
do commerce in this community um freely

1540
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,120
and safely. So, um it's just it's a

1541
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,400
great conversation. Thanks for what

1542
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:23,800
you're doing.

1543
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,000
>> There's people that agree with that and

1544
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,360
there's people on the other side. It's

1545
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,920
just throughout um you know, me having

1546
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,400
conversations with people I just seen

1547
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:31,880
that the city's kind of really split on

1548
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,960
that. There's people on both sides. So,

1549
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,800
um that was just interesting information

1550
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,040
that I was able to gather and I just

1551
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:37,960
felt like I should share it with the

1552
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:38,760
council.

1553
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:39,400
>> Sure.

1554
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:39,880
>> Thank you.

1555
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:40,280
>> Yep.

1556
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:50,190
>> Appreciate that.

1557
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:51,880
» Cindy Hanson.

1558
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,120
I'm um I wasn't really planning to speak

1559
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,240
today, but um in regards to the last

1560
00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:58,720
speaker, I also um thought it might be a

1561
00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:01,560
good time to remind folks that there are

1562
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,200
lots of opportunities for city

1563
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,840
engagement for citizens

1564
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,760
such as the Civil Service Commission

1565
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,040
which has two positions currently open.

1566
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,600
So, you may want to encourage some of

1567
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,640
your folks to apply for those.

1568
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,640
And then other city commissions that are

1569
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,160
great avenues for citizens to provide

1570
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,320
input into what's happening at the city.

1571
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,000
The other thing that I wanted to mention

1572
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,280
um as I drove down from Briarcliff

1573
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,320
today, I encountered several areas of

1574
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,600
road construction. And I could complain

1575
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,280
about that, but I looked at it and I

1576
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,400
said, I am thankful that you've made the

1577
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:34,680
decision to invest in our

1578
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,920
infrastructure. So, I know those are

1579
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,720
expensive projects.

1580
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:40,480
They make a difference. Thank you for

1581
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,480
the decisions you're making.

1582
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,680
>> I always tell people you complain when

1583
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,400
we tear streets up and you complain

1584
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,480
when we fix it. Much sooner you complain

1585
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,807
cuz we're fixing a street than one

1586
00:53:51,807 --> 00:53:52,840
>> [laughter]

1587
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,560
>> Right.

1588
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:55,320
>> Thank you.

1589
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,560
>> Thanks, Cindy.

1590
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,440
>> All right. Rick.

1591
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,520
>> Quickly.

1592
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,040
Nice meeting.

1593
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,520
Uh first, uh Patrick, you still in here?

1594
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:06,880
Good job with your communication up on

1595
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,600
Freemar. Um

1596
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:09,560
yeah, I think in the long run it's going

1597
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:10,680
to save us some money with all the

1598
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:11,520
issues we're having up there. I know I

1599
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,160
haven't found all the issues yet, but

1600
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,640
let's stay on that and uh and don't drop

1601
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,360
the uh the bombs on the the property

1602
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:18,880
owners that might have to do some stuff

1603
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,280
in their own properties. Maybe go up and

1604
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,720
knock on their door or let them know

1605
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,360
versus just send them a note that that

1606
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:24,920
might buffer a little bit of that to get

1607
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,560
a little more compliance, but let's stay

1608
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,720
on that. I I think we're you're you guys

1609
00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:30,452
are responding and I very appreciate

1610
00:54:30,452 --> 00:54:31,640
[clears throat] the homeowners and the

1611
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,280
contractors. So, good job. Uh second, on

1612
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:36,360
Jill, I know Jill's not here. She's

1613
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:37,640
going to give us an update I think next

1614
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,000
week on uh I requested that she give us

1615
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:41,520
the dollar amount that's been collected

1616
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,560
year-to-date on those those foolish

1617
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,640
signs that were put up to don't give it

1618
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,800
to panhandlers, but send it to a fund.

1619
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,400
I'd like to have the the balance on that

1620
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:50,920
fund and how much money is given

1621
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,920
annually or monthly or weekly and what's

1622
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,840
what dollars are left in there. If not,

1623
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:55,960
we have the poles. We already paid to

1624
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,560
put the poles in and I have a concept

1625
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,920
for another sign we could put on it. Um

1626
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:02,120
kind of that reflects uh the bus program

1627
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:03,520
that we put in place before. So, she's

1628
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:04,720
going to give us an update there next

1629
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:07,640
week on that, which is great. Um

1630
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:12,000
uh third, on the um the sheriff, you you

1631
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:12,880
said you're going to give us the update

1632
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,040
on the sheriff. Where are you at with

1633
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,840
that? Uh candidates start tomorrow or

1634
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:17,880
police chief starts tomorrow?

1635
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:18,440
>> Yes.

1636
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,160
>> That's a cool cool deal.

1637
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:20,720
>> I'm meeting with the panel tonight after

1638
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:22,280
this meeting and then assessments are

1639
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,880
Tuesday, Wednesday. Um and then we'll

1640
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,000
have a list next week.

1641
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,600
>> And then on the bus route thing, I I

1642
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,280
requested that Sheriff Sheahan, that's

1643
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,040
where I said Sheriff Sheahan, give us

1644
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,800
don't just come up here and tell us you

1645
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,160
need a route. Tell us what you

1646
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:35,360
specifically need. I I know if you saw

1647
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:36,920
that email that I sent over. He he

1648
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,480
actually put together a bus schedule. I

1649
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:39,880
said, you know, don't just bark at us,

1650
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,280
give us a schedule. And he And I To his

1651
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,040
credit, he did. He put a schedule what

1652
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,320
he thinks it would that would that we we

1653
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,120
would need for that loop through there.

1654
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,680
So, thank you to Sheriff Sheehan for

1655
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,160
that. And uh we will evaluate that and

1656
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:51,720
see if it works.

1657
00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:53,120
Um and then

1658
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,560
on the uh the railroad, I don't know if

1659
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:56,960
we have any contact with the railroad,

1660
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,400
but is it just me or we're really

1661
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,320
demanding a lot of our citizens to get

1662
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:02,840
the grass off the curbs and all these

1663
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:03,960
things? And I think our citizens are

1664
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,480
stepping up and doing it. And the

1665
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,200
railroad right now looks like the wild

1666
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,520
west with the with the weeds and stuff.

1667
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:10,760
And I know they're the all-powerful

1668
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,960
railroad, but uh let's let's if we're

1669
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,200
not afraid to send letters to everybody

1670
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:15,760
else, let's send it let's

1671
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,280
um let's let's kick the railroad a

1672
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,520
little bit and say they need to clean

1673
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:19,720
their act up a little bit along those

1674
00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:21,800
roads.

1675
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,200
It's time. It's time.

1676
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,520
>> They will they mow. Burlington Northern

1677
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:26,880
doesn't mow.

1678
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,040
>> City needs to spray is what they need to

1679
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,280
do. They need them big old tumbleweeds

1680
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,800
are just a right on the curbs up 75. And

1681
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,240
if you go down there,

1682
00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:33,320
um

1683
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,120
>> But we can't get to Burlington, but the

1684
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,120
UP's been busy. They don't mow as often

1685
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:39,800
as you mow your yard, but they at least

1686
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,040
will mow, so that's

1687
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,760
>> Yeah, it's pretty pretty shady down in

1688
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,560
our neck of the woods. Um so, that's all

1689
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:45,840
I would ask is we give the the a

1690
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,640
friendly tap to the railroad on that end

1691
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,240
of it. Um and then uh lastly, I know

1692
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:52,320
that uh next week um we're going to get

1693
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,560
the update from Angle on the wastewater

1694
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,000
treatment. Julie alluded to that um last

1695
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,800
week. Um I sat in a meeting with that.

1696
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:00,960
Um

1697
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,520
we left abruptly, and I think we're

1698
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,040
going to have uh we're going to turn a

1699
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,720
loss into a win um in the next few weeks

1700
00:57:06,720 --> 00:57:08,360
when it comes to that

1701
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,880
uh joke of a response that they gave us

1702
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,160
um from Kiewit. So, I look forward to

1703
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,080
that conversation. Um

1704
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,360
and uh let's have a great week.

1705
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:19,920
>> Frank.

1706
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,440
>> Uh I've got a number of items, but I'll

1707
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,640
try and go quickly, Mayor. Um first item

1708
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,400
is the Hamilton Boulevard medians. Is

1709
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,240
there a CIP to either repair or replace?

1710
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,920
The medians look very poor.

1711
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,000
>> There is. It's part of the

1712
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,560
reconstruction when we were we had a

1713
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,520
project is

1714
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:38,800
for what you're this this year

1715
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:40,240
okay part of that one you approved

1716
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,320
today. Okay.

1717
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,480
That's 15th to 20th

1718
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,080
that's not all of it

1719
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:47,360
it's a portion.

1720
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,120
But these meetings will be picked up in

1721
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,640
a CIP very good.

1722
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,520
I know we've asked before for the 2026

1723
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,320
legislative update. I know that staff is

1724
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,400
still waiting to get some directions

1725
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,040
encourage to get that was going to ask

1726
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,440
about the wastewater treatment plant. I

1727
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,600
know Julie brought it up last week. Rick

1728
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,400
Rick's update is good. Can I encourage

1729
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,400
Matt and his team to continue to work on

1730
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,720
developing activities on the riverfront.

1731
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:12,880
I think we need to be much more

1732
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:14,520
aggressive. It's it's such a unique

1733
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:15,840
opportunity

1734
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,480
and I think it looks great. I think that I think there's been some good

1735
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,120
recent clean up but I'd encourage

1736
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:22,600
additional use.

1737
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,160
I already mentioned the issue of the

1738
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,320
campus concept for the homeless and

1739
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,560
transient issues.

1740
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,240
Julie and I had a really helpful meeting

1741
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,160
last week with Dustin Cooper and Corey

1742
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,280
Westra on the new arena and some

1743
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:36,680
opportunities there Mike I shared those

1744
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,000
with you and I look forward to

1745
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,320
continuing that dialogue. I did want to

1746
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:41,680
mention a couple weeks ago we didn't

1747
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,200
have a meeting on a Monday and so the

1748
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,520
synagogue actually did some volunteer

1749
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,520
work at the warming shelter had a visit.

1750
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,400
Had an opportunity to visit with Sheila

1751
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:51,680
and it was a it was a really nice

1752
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,840
evening for us to provide some input but

1753
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,280
to also engage with some of their

1754
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,480
residents and their citizens and that

1755
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,520
was very productive. I know we're

1756
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,120
supposed to be getting the entertainment

1757
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,680
district update shortly. So I just

1758
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,160
encourage you to continue to work with

1759
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,440
Marty and Renee and find out when Steve

1760
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,680
Watson's going to get that.

1761
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,200
Rick thanks for bringing up the route

1762
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:12,560
the bus route issue. I did have a chance

1763
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,240
to talk to Mike about that last week.

1764
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,320
Hopefully we'll see something soon. Mike

1765
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:17,960
and I have a meeting tomorrow on some

1766
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,840
health care items. I've had a chance

1767
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,040
over the last two weeks to be visiting

1768
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,400
with a number of the library board

1769
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,200
members and I'm encouraged by their

1770
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,880
input their engagement, and their

1771
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:31,070
communication.

1772
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:32,080
And then I've also had a number of

1773
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,040
people that asked me about my my

1774
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,160
requested a couple months ago to talk

1775
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:37,400
about a new branding or marketing

1776
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,560
campaign. I know Anne had mentioned she

1777
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,360
just didn't have the time when we

1778
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,200
visited earlier. Can Can we find out

1779
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,760
where that stands now, please?

1780
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,600
And that's it. Thank you.

1781
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,960
>> Absolutely. As always, again, I just

1782
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,640
want to thank those that are out there,

1783
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,120
you know, for our citizens, for your

1784
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,680
engagement, and and showing up. This is

1785
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,960
how it happens and what needs to happen.

1786
00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:01,680
I also, you know, have a few thank yous.

1787
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:02,960
I want to thank, you know, Mike and

1788
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,720
Patrick for

1789
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,440
cleaning the bag that was hanging on the

1790
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,120
skywalk up, and also getting those wires

1791
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,920
tucked in. I appreciate that. Thank you.

1792
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,760
I feel like I'm becoming the weed guy,

1793
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,760
and when I see weeds, grass, weed.

1794
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,040
>> You might want to clarify [laughter]

1795
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,360
that.

1796
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,520
>> I'm getting contacted for those things,

1797
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,320
and so obviously Mike, I sent you an

1798
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,440
email about that, looking at some of

1799
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:27,440
those things. I think there are some

1800
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,440
areas that we need to

1801
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,280
really make sure that we we stay on top

1802
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,440
of. Couple things here.

1803
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,760
I had a young lady come in to the coffee

1804
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,280
shop today, and

1805
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,480
she'd moved here from Arizona about six

1806
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,000
or seven months ago, and she chose Sioux

1807
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,360
City, and she said she absolutely loves

1808
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,920
Sioux City, and that was music to my

1809
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,360
ears, and she she just thought that this

1810
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,600
was a phenomenal place, and great place

1811
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:53,840
to live. Her and her husband, they're

1818
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,480

1828
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,720
