[3:39] Janet, you have this?

[3:41] Question I've got is on the NeoGov

[3:44] um

[3:46] votes. Year one is at $48,000, year two

[3:49] is at $41,000,

[3:51] and year three it to $82,000.

[3:53] Can you explain the increase?

[3:56] >> My name is Janet Fuller. I'm the HR

[3:57] benefits manager.

[3:58] Um the reason that's changing on year

[4:01] three is we're also adding what's called

[4:03] e-forms. So, it's another level to their

[4:06] product offering and it allows us to

[4:09] capture all of our data electronically,

[4:11] so we don't have to

[4:13] print out 100 different forms and get

[4:15] them all completed. So, it just allows

[4:17] everything to be done electronically.

[4:20] >> Then you note in the financial impact

[4:22] that there's about a $10,000 savings

[4:24] over three years. That's not per year,

[4:26] that's

[4:27] $10,000 over the course of the

[4:28] three-year contract.

[4:29] >> Correct. The first two years have

[4:31] $20,000 savings each and then we

[4:33] implement the e-forms.

[4:35] >> So, then what would the what's the quote

[4:37] for the two-year extension?

[4:39] >> We don't have Those are just open for

[4:41] negotiation. We didn't get quotes on

[4:42] those.

[4:42] >> really not an option with a price. It's

[4:44] just the option to extend based upon a

[4:47] that quote.

[4:47] >> Okay.

[4:48] Thanks.

[5:06] of deferring the other one, should this

[5:08] not be deferred as well?

[7:48] 2026-0612.

[7:52] F is a resolution awarding and approving

[7:54] a contract to Halstead Excavating for

[7:56] the Siouxland Nexus Program Volume 5

[7:59] Tanker Warm-up and Holding Pad Project

[8:01] at the airport.

[8:03] G is a resolution

[8:04] >> Mayor, can I ask a question? So, I know

[8:06] that D, E, F, and G all correlate to the

[8:09] same project. I know that this is part

[8:12] of a much bigger project with the 185th.

[8:15] The The Halstead contract is about $11

[8:17] million. It's a little bit more than

[8:20] the engineers' estimate. Um what I'm

[8:23] curious about is how we're going to

[8:24] continue to manage these projects and

[8:27] phase them.

[8:28] I know that the Chamber of Commerce is

[8:30] actively involved in helping lobby and

[8:32] generate additional funds. Well, I It

[8:34] doesn't need to necessarily hold up what

[8:36] we're reviewing and approving today. Can

[8:38] we get an update? I know part of that

[8:40] was in the presentation that was made 60

[8:42] days ago, but I think it would just be

[8:44] helpful to get some additional

[8:46] commentary. I know there's been some

[8:48] positive and some negative with regard

[8:50] to where we think we are with generating

[8:52] those the additional the funds that are

[8:54] necessary. And we're talking 100 to 150

[8:57] million dollars.

[8:58] Um so, if we could get an update on

[8:59] that, that'd be great.

[9:01] >> Uh yeah. So, I think right now the

[9:03] Senate's back in session now, so we're

[9:05] hoping uh here within the next month.

[9:07] And then hopefully if they finalize a

[9:09] bill, we'll know something, you know, by

[9:11] September.

[9:12] >> Okay. And then could we just get maybe a

[9:13] summary on how we're going to phase the

[9:15] various projects including

[9:17] >> I I think the phasing will depend on how

[9:19] the funding comes.

[9:20] >> Okay.

[9:20] >> So, this is the one was actually

[9:21] scheduled to be last, so we're doing it

[9:22] first.

[9:23] >> That's why we I thought this was a later

[9:25] project.

[9:25] >> It was, but they approved the funding

[9:27] for this project and not the others. So,

[9:29] it really depends.

[9:30] >> And

[9:33] >> What's that?

[9:33] >> The switching around.

[9:35] >> Yeah.

[9:35] >> And you're comfortable that this is

[9:38] significantly more at 10% more than the

[9:40] engineers estimates. You're okay with

[9:41] this?

[9:42] >> It is. And and I'm okay with it because

[9:44] the military is okay with it. So, we we

[9:46] had a phone call with National Guard

[9:48] Bureau and that's the reason for the two

[9:49] modifications cuz they increased the

[9:51] funding.

[9:51] >> Okay.

[9:53] Thank you.

[9:55] G is the resolution.

[9:58] What's that?

[10:02] I don't know. Do you go Anybody from the

[10:03] guard or want to talk or

[10:11] » I don't appreciate the opportunity to

[10:13] speak. So, first of all, I just want to

[10:15] say thank you. All the projects with

[10:16] Sula and Nexus are a huge tremendous

[10:20] future for the 185th and then the

[10:22] airport in Sioux City.

[10:24] The

[10:27] response we get from the local, the the

[10:29] state, and the national levels has been

[10:31] incredible. A couple questions you

[10:33] asked, you know, why is it higher? The

[10:35] 11.8 is where we're our final dollar

[10:37] amount is. And the bureau has provided

[10:39] the full 11.8. We have that in hand

[10:41] locally.

[10:42] The phasing of the projects did change

[10:44] thing change things tremendously. We

[10:46] know we planned on chewing up the

[10:47] concrete from the runway and using it as

[10:49] some of the fill out there. We had to

[10:51] buy things that we would not have had to

[10:52] buy. That has to do with the phasing.

[10:54] But again, Sula and Nexus is two things.

[10:57] It's really all the projects. It's the

[10:58] runway, it's the ramp, and the

[11:00] extensions, and everything we've been

[11:01] talking about. But it's really the

[11:03] people behind it. And then just want to

[11:05] say thank you to the council and

[11:06] everybody else that's that's made this

[11:07] possible because it's truly buying us a

[11:09] really great future.

[11:11] >> Name for the record, please.

[11:13] You name We need your name for the

[11:15] record.

[11:16] >> Sure.

[11:16] Colonel Sean Struxness.

[11:19] Thank you. Any questions?

[11:20] >> Thank you. No, thank you.

[11:21] >> Thank you.

[11:57] resolution suspending the requirements

[11:59] of the Iowa code for hiring of employees

[12:01] in the police department for 1 year.

[12:04] >> Mayor, I would I would like to ask a

[12:05] question on that one.

[12:09] I know that

[12:10] >> [clears throat]

[12:11] >> last year when the police department

[12:12] came and asked for this, I

[12:14] was serving on the civil service. I

[12:16] remember

[12:17] wondering will we be able to go back and

[12:20] look to see what

[12:22] how the vacancies look versus last year

[12:24] versus this year.

[12:26] What do you know, do if you know what

[12:28] they were last year to this year or how

[12:30] are we looking with those current

[12:31] vacancies and

[12:33] >> Rex Mehl of the police department.

[12:35] Councilman, I

[12:36] right now we're actually

[12:38] hiring less than our vacancies to give

[12:41] our field training program a bit of a

[12:43] rest. So,

[12:45] for one thing, obviously we want to hire

[12:47] the best candidates, which is what we

[12:48] always endeavor to do in any process and

[12:51] this is facilitated that. But I don't

[12:54] have the numbers in front of me. If

[12:55] that's something you're curious about,

[12:56] you've had the benefit that the other

[12:57] council members haven't of us

[12:59] discussing discussing this in civil

[13:01] service and why the transition. But

[13:04] right now more than anything we're

[13:06] trying to not overtake our program,

[13:09] meaning that we have too many people in

[13:11] the training program

[13:12] and we kind of exhaust our field

[13:14] training officers. So, we're we're

[13:16] getting up there. We're at a good level.

[13:18] We're going to continue with the

[13:20] council's blessing test in this manner.

[13:23] And that way, as as aware, we used to

[13:26] have,

[13:27] you know, a few years ago it would have

[13:28] been a 2-year list. And so we were

[13:30] missing people that came out of the

[13:31] 2-year colleges or that entered the

[13:33] workforce and by

[13:35] one of the one of the positive

[13:37] byproducts of doing this is that as we

[13:39] need a new list, we move to immediately

[13:42] start creating

[13:44] group of eligible candidates and it's

[13:46] worked really well. And a lot of other

[13:48] communities have followed suit. And as

[13:50] you know, the checks and balances that

[13:52] would have I mean nepotism, things like

[13:54] that as you're aware, we have a lot of

[13:56] checks and balances not only before

[13:59] hiring but after hiring and and through

[14:01] the training process to make sure that

[14:04] candidates are properly screened.

[14:06] >> Okay, yeah, that and that was

[14:08] where I was going with that. I I didn't

[14:09] know if this was going to become the new

[14:10] normal. So

[14:12] >> I I think I think statewide it will.

[14:15] We're going to come back to you every

[14:16] year. If we see a downside, I'll

[14:18] definitely disclose that. But just

[14:20] currently with hiring and the way and

[14:22] the dynamic way that law enforcement

[14:25] hiring is happening, I just don't see a

[14:27] downside. I think it's been

[14:28] [clears throat] positive for the city

[14:29] and for the department. And again, any

[14:31] concerns of

[14:33] the new process, we're happy to answer

[14:35] this council and the Civil Service

[14:37] Commission to make sure everybody's

[14:38] comfortable with the way it functions.

[14:41] >> Chief, this isn't directed necessarily

[14:43] at the request under 9A, probably more

[14:46] to 9B and I don't know if Janelle or

[14:48] Janet want to maybe address this. The

[14:50] question I've got is this is the

[14:52] third or fourth time that we've been

[14:54] asked to waive the rules. And I think it

[14:56] needs to be more to more of the

[14:57] exception than the rule to waive the

[15:00] rules because there's a reason there's a

[15:02] Civil Service process, right? I have no

[15:04] problem with what we approved prior. I

[15:06] have no problem approving this. And

[15:08] theoretically, I don't think I have a

[15:09] problem with 9B, but in the description

[15:12] of the request to waive rule

[15:15] or suspend the rule for 9B, it was that

[15:18] you were not able to attract Parks and

[15:21] Rec applicants and you were losing that

[15:24] opportunity within say 3 weeks. And and

[15:27] I'm not suggesting that we don't need to

[15:29] suspend if you if you've got to get good

[15:30] candidates, you want to get good

[15:31] candidates, you want to be able to

[15:32] respond, but it's not unusual to be

[15:35] applying and applying elsewhere and go

[15:37] through a two or three week process. So,

[15:40] I'm not opposed to approving 9B under

[15:42] the consent agenda, but I want to make

[15:44] sure that we're using this this opportunity to suspend the

[15:48] rules for the right reasons.

[15:50] >> Sure.

[15:51] >> Okay.

[15:51] >> Janelle Bertrant, Human Resources

[15:53] Director. I will probably have Parks and

[15:55] Rec discuss their specific vacancy, but

[15:57] I can speak globally with the reason

[15:59] that the waiver was in place.

[16:01] It is because the list is good for 1

[16:04] year

[16:05] and you're making a hire, say you say

[16:08] you certified the list in October, you

[16:09] could be making a hire in May. So, the

[16:12] person

[16:13] is confused as to why that's happening.

[16:16] You may not have any people on the list.

[16:18] It's to keep the list current, um to get

[16:21] an an an active um applicant pool that

[16:26] departments can move through the hiring

[16:27] list quicker instead of sitting on that

[16:29] same list for a year. My department and

[16:32] I have put um safeguards in place such

[16:35] as any department that has a waiver is

[16:38] required to sit through mandatory

[16:40] training on interviewing. I've also

[16:41] required that a Human Resources staff be

[16:44] um

[16:45] a panel member when they sit in on the

[16:47] interview. And departments have to

[16:49] justify to me why they want to

[16:53] post again. They have to show that they

[16:55] have interviewed everybody on the list.

[16:57] You can't just look at the list,

[16:59] interview let's just say three of the

[17:00] five and move on. They have to make an

[17:02] effort to talk to everyone and document

[17:05] why those people are not the appropriate

[17:07] hire.

[17:09] >> It's it's helpful with that explanation,

[17:11] Janelle, because you're giving the

[17:12] guardrails around the

[17:15] to put rule and the suspension of the

[17:17] rules, so that helps.

[17:18] >> Right. And we as an organization chose

[17:20] to bring them up department-wide or

[17:22] department-specific instead of doing a

[17:24] blanket request, we chose to do it by

[17:26] department.

[17:27] >> Thank you.

[17:28] >> Yep.

[17:29] >> Appreciate that by department, too, so.

[17:32] >> These are resolutions suspending the

[17:34] requirements of the Iowa code of hiring

[17:36] of employees in the Parks and Rec

[17:37] Department for 1 year. 10 are

[17:39] applications for alcohol license. 11 are

[17:42] boards, commission, and committee

[17:43] minutes.

[17:45] Uh

[17:46] this is the end of the consent agenda.

[17:50] Vote when we're ready.

[18:07] » Passes 5012 hearing resolution approving

[18:10] plans and specs for the Hamilton

[18:12] Boulevard resurfacing project. I'll move

[18:14] that.

[18:17] » Is there a second?

[18:18] >> Second.

[18:19] >> Public hearing is now open. Is there

[18:20] anyone to be heard?

[18:24] Seeing none, the hearing is closed.

[18:42] Passes 5013 hearing resolution accepting

[18:45] >> accepting proposal of Siouxland Youth

[18:46] Hockey Association for lease of land in

[18:48] the Donner Park Urban Renewal Area, the

[18:50] property located at

[18:51] 3808 Stadium Drive for the IBP Ice

[18:55] Center shooting shed. Staff recommends a

[18:57] deferral until July 27th. I'll move

[19:00] that.

[19:00] >> Second.

[19:10] » Is it from the staff or from them guys.

[19:13] Huh?

[19:13] >> Wait.

[19:16] » Matt can speak to it.

[19:17] >> I think that's what he said.

[19:19] >> This ain't slowing them down, is it?

[19:20] >> Matt Salvatore, Parks and Recreation

[19:22] Director. We're just waiting on a

[19:23] certificate of insurance from USA

[19:24] Hockey. I don't There's some hold up

[19:26] with that. As soon as we get it, they'll

[19:27] be able to move forward.

[19:29] >> Good good project.

[19:45] » 5014's building permits update.

[19:49] >> Let's go, guys.

[20:00] » Here, building inspection services

[20:01] manager. As you can see, you can see the

[20:04] report has come out again for

[20:05] residential and commercial. If you have

[20:07] any questions specifically, please

[20:09] ask in a way.

[20:11] One of the things that we've noticed

[20:12] recently, there's been an uptick in the

[20:14] commercial aspect of it requesting

[20:17] sit-downs, which I think is great.

[20:20] Projects to before the applications are

[20:21] even sent in or permits are even sent in

[20:23] to be able to go through and make sure

[20:24] they're

[20:25] complete as can be done. So,

[20:28] it's a good move.

[20:33] » Uh

[20:34] Marty Doughty, Economic Community

[20:35] Development Director.

[20:37] Just an update real quick. We've been

[20:39] hard at it in the

[20:40] software

[20:42] implementation

[20:44] effort. There's As I said before,

[20:46] there's two sides to it. There's

[20:47] planning and engineering, which relates

[20:49] to the land review, basically. And the

[20:52] other part is the permitting, building

[20:54] permitting part, which which of course

[20:56] Daryl is involved in it. So,

[20:58] we have these two tracks going on. We've

[20:59] been spending many hours um

[21:03] in discovering

[21:05] probably a lot of things that we could

[21:06] have been doing different with the

[21:07] software we had and then

[21:09] um implementing that improving

[21:12] the process and going forward it's going

[21:15] to take a lot of work yet to get

[21:18] everything adjusted and changed over to the new software and then everyone

[21:23] trained on it. So

[21:25] that we're right in the middle of that

[21:27] right now. That's the best I can tell

[21:28] you is

[21:29] >> What do you think the time frame is

[21:30] Marty?

[21:31] >> Well, longer than than I than we

[21:33] thought. You know all honesty

[21:36] and we had a meeting this morning with

[21:38] the consultant to talk about that. How

[21:40] can we can we do to speed that up and um

[21:43] Mike your thoughts on it but we

[21:46] are hopeful that we

[21:48] are going to have another meeting

[21:49] tomorrow morning and um

[21:51] on the planning side of it and

[21:54] identified

[21:56] the staff people who are the most

[21:57] critical to be part of that and not have

[21:59] too many people involved in it until we

[22:00] get to the training part of it. But

[22:04] Marty what are some

[22:05] >> of the things that you're running into

[22:06] as far as issues or problems

[22:10] learning or

[22:13] » I don't know if it's problems so much as

[22:15] maybe we haven't in the past taken full advantage of the capacity

[22:20] that the software has in terms of you

[22:23] know things that we do it this way

[22:24] manually or we we could have been doing

[22:26] it more efficiently in terms of the

[22:28] capabilities of the software. Things

[22:29] have changed over the years. People have

[22:31] changed.

[22:33] The people that first implemented that

[22:35] are not here anymore and um

[22:37] we're learning a lot about that and it's honestly it's a little painstaking

[22:43] going through the process of item by

[22:45] item. Why do you why do you take so many days to do this

[22:49] or why do you why do you notify people

[22:52] in that manner.

[22:54] Is there a way that we can um

[22:57] you co-

[22:59] this is where I struggle here. The codes

[23:02] that go into making up the decision in

[23:04] the software, you know, are tied to

[23:07] um the data that we have and and um

[23:12] You want to take a shot at that?

[23:13] >> Sure, I'd be happy to.

[23:15] >> [laughter]

[23:15] >> Um

[23:16] >> It's complicated.

[23:17] >> Our predecessors um you activated as

[23:20] much as they needed to on the programs

[23:22] to make them function for what they

[23:23] needed at time. Unfortunately, a lot of

[23:25] the communications and a lot of parts

[23:27] that needed to be in place so that one

[23:28] thing would read off of another read off

[23:29] of another. So, one of the frustrations

[23:30] we've had over the years of not being

[23:32] able to get reports printed out quickly

[23:34] and see, you know, measure our our

[23:36] efficiencies and deficiencies, quite

[23:38] frankly both. Um and those all those

[23:41] things are going to take a lot of time.

[23:42] You know, one of the things that have

[23:43] been frustrating for me and I'll just

[23:44] give it out as an example, it's going to

[23:46] take a long time to get it fixed but

[23:47] once it gets it fixed, it's going to

[23:48] save us an incredible amount of of waste

[23:50] dollars down the road is rental permits

[23:52] for instance. Rental permits every

[23:54] single year we have to manually go in

[23:56] and change every single permit. And

[23:59] we're talking thousands and thousands and thousands of

[24:02] properties and it takes about three to

[24:04] four screens to go through manually on

[24:08] each and every one of those. So, the

[24:09] amount of staff time to do that is is is

[24:11] huge. It should have never been under

[24:13] the app permit side, it should have been

[24:14] under the business license side. We're

[24:16] finding those things out, all those

[24:17] little things. Contractor files, being

[24:19] able to have those informations in there

[24:21] for so for the permitting process.

[24:22] There's a lot of things that will tie

[24:23] together that will make it much more

[24:25] efficient. Unfortunately, it's going to

[24:27] delay our time in getting it set up and

[24:29] running. We want to do it right. We

[24:30] don't want to force it this time just to

[24:33] make, you know, just to make some

[24:34] reports quick or, you know, I mean

[24:35] ultimately we started this thing to be

[24:37] able to do online permits. Let's face

[24:38] it. That was the biggest thing we wanted

[24:39] to do was be able to make payments

[24:40] online and and submit permits online.

[24:44] And it's it's

[24:45] blowing into this much larger project

[24:48] unfortunately that will take us more

[24:49] time but I think in the long run it's

[24:51] well worth the investment of time to get

[24:53] it right.

[24:54] >> Do you think that this will be the right

[24:58] product that we have, you know, versus

[25:01] getting down the road and saying this

[25:03] may not even be what

[25:04] >> You know, if you'd asked me that

[25:05] question a month ago, I'd have probably

[25:06] had a completely different answer than I

[25:07] have today. I think today I'm I'm I'm

[25:10] drinking the Kool-Aid.

[25:11] Um

[25:12] It it's it's

[25:13] >> more training. I'm like, what?

[25:16] >> Well, I just I don't want to I don't

[25:17] want to fall in the same trap that we

[25:18] fell into decades ago. And and that I

[25:20] don't want to see us fall into that

[25:22] trap. We're We've got a lot of financial

[25:23] investment into this. We're going to

[25:25] have a lot of wage dollars invested in

[25:26] this, and I want it to be a good product

[25:27] for many, many years to come. And I

[25:29] think we're there with the right

[25:30] product. We just have to get the right

[25:32] information in the right places to be

[25:33] able to do that.

[25:34] >> Do we have our IT department working in

[25:38] conjunction with

[25:39] >> Oh, absolutely. Yeah. We have several

[25:41] meetings, and mostly at least once or

[25:43] twice a week we have 4-hour or

[25:45] 3-to-4-hour meetings with them getting

[25:48] our business plan in place on how this

[25:49] is going to function, how all these

[25:50] things tie together, so that when you're

[25:52] reading this, it pulls information from

[25:54] everywhere. This is not just going to

[25:55] span just the building department and

[25:57] the engineering department and the

[25:58] planning and zoning departments. We're

[26:00] going to include fire in this. We're

[26:01] going to include a lot of every other

[26:02] areas where all that information comes

[26:04] into one place. Plus, it's going to

[26:06] allow the public to be able to view

[26:08] their case or the online as well, so

[26:12] they they can see where the progress is.

[26:13] It might be It might have just be a

[26:15] building permit. It might be the

[26:16] nuisance case, um for instance. They can

[26:18] go in there and see what it was and what

[26:19] the inspector's notes have got on the

[26:21] case as well. So, it's going to be a lot

[26:22] more open to the public. Um so, we won't

[26:25] we don't want errors. We want it right,

[26:27] so when the public's looking at it,

[26:28] they're not going to get frustrated and

[26:29] just walk away from it.

[26:30] >> This this is This is going to sound

[26:31] crazy to you, but actually the process

[26:33] we're going through

[26:35] step by step, item by item, they're asking, "Why are you doing it

[26:39] Why do you do it this way?"

[26:41] Well,

[26:42] maybe we don't have a great reason.

[26:43] Maybe there's a different way we we

[26:45] could do it and we should have been

[26:46] doing it. But, it's painstaking cuz

[26:48] you're going through every single every

[26:50] single code, every single line of um co- of the way in which the

[26:55] software is written and customizing it

[26:57] to us doesn't seem to me like there

[26:59] should have to be that much customizing,

[27:00] you know, because you would think

[27:02] approval of a building permit or

[27:03] whatever is is pretty standard practice,

[27:05] but given the the city the the history

[27:08] of it and all the data that's in there

[27:09] and um

[27:11] the processes that we've followed in the

[27:12] past, it it's it's it's coming becoming

[27:15] clear to us that we what we need to do

[27:18] is just taking a long time and and you

[27:20] know, you can't take away we don't have

[27:21] a big staff, can't take them away from

[27:23] their everyday job at the same time and

[27:26] that's that's the only concern that I

[27:28] would have is that we we we keep doing

[27:30] this while we're doing everything else

[27:31] we're doing as you can see on those

[27:33] weekly reports

[27:35] about how many permits or how many

[27:37] approvals take place or are pending at

[27:39] any given time. We don't want to stop

[27:40] that at the [clears throat] same time.

[27:42] So

[27:42] >> already with the complexity and the

[27:44] length that you're seeing

[27:47] you have a concern

[27:49] I D in anybody's mind, but

[27:51] identified a consultant and advisors

[27:53] that are working on the project with

[27:54] you. Any fear that you're going to come

[27:56] forward with this change order?

[27:59] >> Um that's not the plan. I I'm

[28:02] >> That's the right answer.

[28:02] >> Yeah, I I don't think so.

[28:04] >> [laughter]

[28:05] >> Honestly, I'd be I I'm not a big

[28:07] consultant fan in the first place.

[28:08] [clears throat] I'd make you got experts

[28:09] in place that need to do their job and

[28:11] we we you know, give us the opportunity

[28:12] to do it and we'll do it.

[28:14] >> So briefly real quick Daryl, first of

[28:15] all, um compliment you personally. Your

[28:18] part of your you are a big chunk of

[28:21] grease that is keeping the wheel moving

[28:22] right now when it comes to the the field

[28:25] the the bridge between the field and the

[28:26] permitting. Um but are you getting tired

[28:29] of the phone calls? Of being having to

[28:31] be the grease. So my question to you is

[28:33] and this is respectfully to the people

[28:35] that are there.

[28:35] >> Yeah.

[28:35] >> I feel the residential side of it um

[28:38] that individual is making more decisions

[28:40] and pushing the stuff through. I'm still

[28:42] more concerned on the commercial side of

[28:43] it that we're having to go in there and

[28:45] say, you know, why why do I have to take

[28:48] phone call? Why do you got to take the

[28:49] phone call? Is it Is it a fear of I'm

[28:51] not of

[28:53] You know where I'm going at this fear of

[28:54] I'm not doing my job right or at some

[28:56] point it's like Is this Is this Is this

[28:58] Is that department Is that employee

[29:00] being retrained to a point to say open

[29:01] your mind up and get it to the field.

[29:04] >> Yeah, we're getting we're getting over

[29:05] >> Getting back You're You're pushing it

[29:07] but that's exhausting and I'm not sure

[29:08] that a council member and

[29:11] a department head needs to be involved

[29:13] in

[29:15] >> Yeah.

[29:15] >> You know what I mean? It's a lot of work

[29:16] for you.

[29:16] >> Yeah, I I don't think we're 100% there

[29:18] yet. I mean [clears throat] I'm being

[29:19] very honest with you. I don't think

[29:20] we're 100% there yet I mean obviously

[29:21] but I think we're we're making strides

[29:24] and there's a lot more communication

[29:26] >> Well, I mean there's a lot more

[29:27] communication too that's happening from that from that end as well coming

[29:31] to me and getting to the direction of

[29:33] which direction and and we're we are we

[29:35] are making strides. We're not there yet

[29:37] obviously but we are making progress.

[29:39] >> Thank you but I mean you know where I'm

[29:41] going.

[29:41] >> Absolutely.

[29:42] >> Yeah, but it's at some point it's like

[29:43] hey man, you get it to the field.

[29:44] >> Mhm.

[29:45] >> Okay.

[29:47] >> Yes, my name is Milton Carter.

[29:49] I'd like to ask some some questions.

[29:51] Okay, like uh

[29:52] >> Name, please.

[29:53] >> My name is Milton Carter. I'm from Sioux

[29:55] City. Okay, every time I come to this

[29:58] meeting, y'all always making strides.

[30:00] What y'all about 5% now maybe 10 because

[30:03] know something what y'all talking about

[30:05] now y'all should have been had it done.

[30:08] Okay, why don't you get some little IT

[30:10] students coming up and cook up your

[30:12] computers so you can be back where

[30:15] everybody else at because what y'all

[30:17] doing now y'all milking the kitty.

[30:21] >> Okay.

[30:22] >> See

[30:23] this stuff what you talking about now

[30:25] from last year to now it should have

[30:26] been done.

[30:28] See, but every time y'all come in y'all

[30:30] making strides but the strides ain't

[30:31] making nothing. Y'all ain't telling

[30:33] nobody nothing how the strides ain't

[30:34] made or what going on with the strides

[30:36] or nothing. Y'all just making strides.

[30:39] In your mind you're doing good but out

[30:41] here y'all doing bad.

[30:43] See, because nobody know what you doing.

[30:47] People want to know what you doing.

[30:49] that, we making fire. The weed my

[30:51] weed laying on the standing computer

[30:53] like this and that and another.

[30:55] Get some people in there who understand

[30:56] the computer for you.

[30:58] So, you can do what you got to do.

[31:01] Because what y'all doing now, y'all

[31:02] making the kitty.

[31:06] » And I'll say, I think Marty and Daryl

[31:08] they're

[31:09] very transparent about this process.

[31:12] We've talked about the permitting and

[31:13] the inspection and the oversight and and

[31:16] the direction of this council has been

[31:20] that we want to see modification and

[31:21] process. They already and Daryl and

[31:23] their teams have been very candid, very

[31:26] forthright about progress that they're

[31:27] making. It may be maybe a little bit

[31:30] delayed and I think that's to both of

[31:32] their frustration and their team's

[31:33] frustration as well, but I think they've

[31:35] been very candid and I think we're

[31:36] working towards a good solution.

[31:41] » But still,

[31:43] when they come in,

[31:45] at least put something on the table so

[31:47] everybody can understand that time where

[31:49] they making fire.

[31:51] See?

[31:53] Cuz what they doing now don't make no

[31:55] sense to me. Probably nobody out here

[31:57] don't make no sense to.

[31:58] >> you haven't ever taken out a building

[31:59] permit, it probably doesn't make sense,

[32:01] but it's not a process that happens

[32:03] overnight.

[32:04] >> I know building mid all that take time.

[32:06] It's a process. I know all that.

[32:08] >> it takes time to computerize stuff that

[32:10] hasn't been computerized.

[32:11] >> The thing is, when they come

[32:12] >> I don't think anybody Now, can let me

[32:13] finish. Now, I like to talk.

[32:15] >> Go ahead. My I'm my fault.

[32:17] >> Okay.

[32:18] I don't think anybody sitting here

[32:19] thought this was going to happen in two

[32:21] or three months.

[32:24] Well, they're making progress,

[32:26] especially in the home area. That's a

[32:28] big step.

[32:30] So, you you know,

[32:32] I don't think anybody I'm not involved

[32:35] with it. Rick's involved more than I am,

[32:36] but I don't think there's a

[32:38] disappointment on their part of what how

[32:40] it's happening.

[32:42] And

[32:43] at the end of the day, what we're trying

[32:45] to do is become more user-friendly. You

[32:47] may not like that they don't speak in

[32:50] terms that everybody understands,

[32:52] but unless you had to take out a

[32:53] building permit, you're not going to

[32:55] understand it.

[32:56] >> And I I appreciate what you're saying,

[32:58] sir. We're we're the time that we're

[33:01] trying to improve the process, at the

[33:02] same time we're also working with

[33:04] builders and developers in issuing

[33:06] permits every day and doing what we've

[33:09] always done and trying to ensure safety

[33:11] for the public and for for the homeowner

[33:14] or the property owner and we're still

[33:16] doing all that. At the same time, we're

[33:18] trying to improve the process and and uh

[33:21] long take a long-term view that um

[33:24] Sioux City will be a a great easy place

[33:27] to develop and get a permit, but at the

[33:28] same time we're protecting the public

[33:30] safety and ensuring that the rules are

[33:32] followed. So, uh I I wish it would go

[33:36] faster. We're trying as fast as we can

[33:38] and I appreciate your point of view. I I

[33:39] do. Um I've seen you at a lot of

[33:41] meetings. I know you've been listening

[33:42] to this, so but um we we are at the same

[33:46] time every day doing our job of of

[33:49] people who are reviewing building plans

[33:51] and site plans and all that. It we

[33:53] didn't stop doing that because of this.

[33:55] Let me

[33:56] make sense.

[33:57] >> Okay.

[33:58] >> All right.

[34:00] Thank you.

[34:00] >> Thanks.

[34:00] >> Go to the park.

[34:01] >> Thank you, guys.

[34:02] >> Thanks, guys.

[34:09] » Council members, you should have week 32

[34:11] and 33 would have been the most recent

[34:13] uh information pulled from the HEART

[34:15] team. Uh they continue to do a good job.

[34:17] One of the things I have encouraged them

[34:19] to do, though, is identify frustrations.

[34:22] They've got barriers, but I want them to

[34:25] let me know where they run into barriers

[34:27] so that we can help them remove those

[34:28] barriers. And so, they have a meeting

[34:30] tomorrow. They have a weekly meeting.

[34:33] And if there's anything that you want me

[34:35] to pass on to the heart team the heart

[34:37] group tomorrow's meeting, please let me

[34:39] know.

[34:40] Otherwise, hopefully those discussions

[34:41] will occur. I want them to be effective

[34:43] and as they address barriers,

[34:46] they seek guidance or assistance from us

[34:48] so that they can overcome those

[34:49] barriers. But still remains relevant.

[34:52] Obviously, we know that and we predicted

[34:54] this. We talked about this. That

[34:57] >> [clears throat]

[34:57] >> the change in weather would have a

[34:59] change in issues and we have seen things

[35:02] change a little bit. Cook Park has been

[35:03] a become a bit more of a problem with

[35:06] activity and so we've seen some

[35:08] movement. And the heart team is

[35:10] appropriately identified that and

[35:11] they're working

[35:13] to address that. Obviously, one of the

[35:15] bigger frustrations with cleanups

[35:17] becomes private property. So, that's

[35:19] still an issue is trying to work with

[35:21] private property owners

[35:23] to help with encampment.

[35:26] >> I have one and it's not your fault from

[35:28] what I understand from talking to Daryl.

[35:30] It's the legal department's fault, but

[35:33] even senior

[35:34] >> I think I know what you're saying.

[35:35] >> There's a car been on Market Street now

[35:37] for at least a month and a half.

[35:40] It is so full of garbage.

[35:42] It's garbage over the top. Big bags of

[35:46] cans.

[35:48] If that were in my front yard, you would

[35:50] tag my house.

[35:52] But because it's on a car, our legal

[35:54] department says we can't do anything. If

[35:56] that's the case, an ordinance needs to

[35:58] be written. Drive by

[36:01] It's embarrassing for this city.

[36:04] I've been

[36:05] It's the

[36:05] >> We've We've addressed the occupants.

[36:07] We've tried to deal with it because

[36:08] obviously if it's if it's a vehicle that

[36:10] doesn't move, we can address it that

[36:11] way. Officers have been in contact. They

[36:13] have subsequently moved the vehicles.

[36:17] But you're right, Mayor. We're kind of

[36:19] in a little

[36:19] >> No, man. You wouldn't let me have that

[36:21] in my front yard. That car sitting in my

[36:22] front yard, you would be there telling

[36:24] me to But because he parks it on a

[36:26] public street, makes no sense to me.

[36:29] >> he's moving it every 24 hours.

[36:31] >> care. It's still

[36:32] >> I don't get it.

[36:34] >> No, we're aware of it and I

[36:35] >> I know you are.

[36:36] >> Just off of West

[36:37] >> up to Stevens so he can figure out how

[36:40] to take care of situations like that.

[36:43] Neighbors should not have to live with

[36:44] that in their front yard.

[36:47] So,

[36:48] anything else for Hart?

[36:51] >> Uh Chief, since you're here, I was going

[36:52] to bring this up during or council

[36:54] concerns, but since you're up, Mike, I

[36:57] can I get an update? I sent a memo, an

[36:59] email to you and about seven other

[37:01] people including the chief on

[37:04] visiting about a campus concept to

[37:07] address the homeless and transient

[37:09] population issues, many of which Rick

[37:10] has raised as well. Can I get an update?

[37:13] Doesn't need to be tonight. Can I get an

[37:14] update on the discussions? Jill, I know

[37:17] was part of that. Marty and Renee were

[37:18] part of that.

[37:20] Um and can we just get an update? Thank

[37:21] you.

[37:22] >> No, Chief, you're going to give us the

[37:23] data, too, on the

[37:24] >> Yep, just got it today. So,

[37:26] [clears throat]

[37:27] >> Just counselor, so we I think you I

[37:28] copied everybody. Going to get a the

[37:30] radius data again around

[37:32] Nebraska Street and all that up in

[37:33] there. Just an update on what kind of

[37:35] activities Getting better? If it is,

[37:36] we'll acknowledge it. If it isn't,

[37:39] >> Uh one of the things though, uh I'll I'll caution you depending on how

[37:42] we run the data, we might not have

[37:44] comparative data. So, I haven't had a

[37:46] chance to look at that, but I'll send it

[37:47] to you in its bare form. If crime

[37:49] analysis has any comments for me, I'll

[37:51] provide those to you so you can at least

[37:53] know where they're coming from. We're

[37:54] sometimes limited by what we can draw

[37:58] from our our systems as far as reports,

[38:00] but I as always, they're going to work

[38:02] their tail off for you to get your

[38:04] information. So,

[38:05] >> Thank you.

[38:08] » All right, citizen concerns.

[38:14] » Hello. Um I'm Lilian Rodriguez and I'm

[38:17] here today with Carlos Hurtado and Olga

[38:21] Guevara. And we wanted just to inform

[38:24] you about Mexico in el corazon.

[38:26] It's a folklorical group that we brought

[38:30] last year. And these dancers are from my

[38:32] hometown Guadalajara in Mexico. And they

[38:35] are about 80 dancers and it was a great

[38:38] success. So I'm going to have Carlos to

[38:40] talk a little bit about it and then Olga

[38:42] is going to finish the details.

[38:45] >> Hi.

[38:47] I'm sorry as Lilian mentioned my name is

[38:48] Carlos Hurtado.

[38:50] So Mexico in el corazon is coming back

[38:52] for a second year. It's their 12th year

[38:54] on an international tour.

[38:56] They perform on over 40 cities across

[38:58] the US and Canada.

[39:01] They performed at Mount Rushmore,

[39:03] performed at Millennium Park in Chicago,

[41:14] Thanks for your presentation. Just a

[41:16] couple of things. Let us know what we

[41:18] can do to help. I know you had a chance

[41:19] to visit with Reagan before the meeting

[41:21] started, and and I think we'd all

[41:23] encourage you to visit with Stacy

[41:25] Anderson and her team at Explore Sioux

[41:26] Land. I think they'll be a a really nice

[41:29] resource for you to do some

[41:30] co-marketing, some co-branding of the

[41:32] city and the event itself. And I look

[41:34] forward to seeing the t-shirt that says

[41:36] New York City Times Square and Chicago

[41:38] Millennium Park and Sioux City Orpheum

[41:40] Theatre.

[41:41] >> Absolutely, we'll be reaching out to

[41:43] her. Thank you so much.

[41:44] >> you.

[41:44] >> Thank you. Good luck.

[41:46] >> And I would add that it's a great show.

[41:49] Having worked

[41:50] with it last year, phenomenal

[41:52] opportunity for Sioux City, and and it's

[41:55] [clears throat] exciting to have it

[41:56] back. And so.

[41:57] >> Yes, thank you.

[41:59] >> Thank you.

[42:06] » Hi, my name is Robin Shiro. I live at

[42:09] 311 East Washington Street in Elk Point.

[42:12] I'm today I'm here because I'm the

[42:13] secretary of the Sioux City Lions Club

[42:16] and I'm asking for your help. Um, I

[42:18] contacted your environmental specialist

[42:22] um, to ask if we could um, go ahead and

[42:25] have a clean up street in Sioux City.

[42:28] Because most of our members are over 65

[42:31] um, on the average and um, not able to

[42:34] do hills and things like that, we um,

[42:37] wanted to see if we could have a street

[42:39] maybe was more level and also that's

[42:43] safe because a lot of them are 65 years

[42:45] old. Some of them are even walkers and

[42:47] probably will help us um, in that case.

[42:50] Um, I want to give you some information.

[43:08] » People have people have wanted wanted

[43:10] >> You had that for 6 months.

[43:12] >> 6 months.

[43:14] >> Get over it.

[43:18] » Thank you.

[43:23] Um, so uh, I've been trying to work with

[43:25] your environmental specialist on this

[43:26] issue because like I stated we need

[43:29] specific requirements. We had asked if

[43:31] the Cheyenne Boulevard might be an

[43:33] issue. We went out and looked in your

[43:35] community and saw that there was no uh,

[43:37] sign on that area and and it seemed like

[43:40] it was a safe area for us and maybe

[43:42] flatter for uh, those of us that need

[43:44] it. And um, but in working with your

[43:47] environmental specialist, she stated

[43:49] that somebody already had that area.

[43:51] What

[43:52] and so we're looking to find an area if

[43:54] it is taken. It didn't have a sign on

[43:56] it. So and it she said maybe it's a

[44:00] church. Usually churches do have signs.

[44:02] So I guess I'm just looking for your

[44:04] help to find an area that might be a

[44:06] safe and flat area for the Lions Club to

[44:09] help.

[44:10] >> That might be the easiest request we

[44:11] have all day.

[44:12] >> Is it?

[44:13] >> Absolutely.

[44:14] >> Well, that's why I knocked your sign

[44:15] over. Sorry.

[44:16] >> [laughter]

[44:18] >> I am familiar with your request for the

[44:20] Cheyenne Boulevard.

[44:21] >> Okay.

[44:22] And if there's just another area

[44:24] >> It is taken and it I believe it was

[44:26] taken by someone who doesn't care to

[44:28] have a sign up to have it made public

[44:30] and I can't say that it's a church, but

[44:32] >> And we can appreciate that. It's just

[44:34] that

[44:35] she's not excited to work with us to

[44:37] find another area.

[44:38] >> Oh, she very much is. She She expressed

[44:41] to me she'll be more than happy to

[44:43] >> Well, when I left my message with her, I that's not what I heard back. So, I

[44:47] guess, you know, I'm looking for your

[44:49] help to encourage her to help us find

[44:51] one.

[44:52] >> I'll follow up with her as well.

[44:53] >> That's a flat one. That's awesome.

[44:55] >> I've already thought of something for

[44:57] you.

[44:57] >> Good. And then, um I just wanted to I

[45:00] know the last time I was here I

[45:01] mentioned about the Pierce Mansion and

[45:03] volunteering for that. And I just want

[45:05] to let you know that, um there's been

[45:07] two issues with the Pierce Mansion since

[45:09] then. Um one of them is we went ahead

[45:12] and worked with I'm a master gardener

[45:14] and I worked with the um Wild Ones to um

[45:18] do their what they consider to be

[45:20] volunteer hours required by the

[45:22] university to keep your continuing

[45:24] education hours for uh master gardener

[45:27] was to have the Wild Ones uh do the uh

[45:30] landscaping there and and pruning of

[45:32] trees and shrubs and I know that they're

[45:35] um

[45:36] they're uh what they consider to be They do things different. We should do

[45:40] things in certain forms to keep them so

[45:42] that they grow and they have more light

[45:44] and different things. And so, um I

[45:47] scheduled it with um I had talked to

[45:49] everybody that's our volunteers there

[45:51] and I scheduled it with the Wild Ones

[45:54] and then somebody at the Pierce Mansion

[45:56] canceled it. So, since I was here, I

[45:59] worried that maybe it's because I made a

[46:02] comment and wanted your help that maybe

[46:03] they were now discouraging things like

[46:06] that. I no longer receive the emails as

[46:09] a volunteer since I spoke here. So, I'm

[46:11] wondering is this like a whistleblower

[46:13] thing that when somebody comes forward

[46:16] to your city council that then they are

[46:18] taken off the volunteer list because

[46:20] they wanted your help? I mean, that's

[46:23] what it feels like to me in both those

[46:24] areas. So, if you could check into

[46:26] those, that would be greatly

[46:27] appreciated. Thank you for your time.

[46:30] Again, since I was a county

[46:31] commissioner, I appreciate all that you

[46:32] do. Thank you.

[46:33] >> Thank Thanks, Robin.

[46:36] Anyone else?

[46:43] » Good evening, Council, Mayor.

[46:46] Uh my name is Jeremy Harrison. I I serve

[46:48] as president of the New Susu City

[46:51] Community Development Initiative.

[46:53] And um over the past several days, um I

[46:57] have been speaking directly with

[46:58] residents uh throughout our community on

[47:01] the north side, west side, uh

[47:03] Morningside area. And I've been asking

[47:06] them a simple question.

[47:08] Um I've been asking them as the city

[47:10] moves forward with the process of

[47:12] selecting the new police chief, uh do

[47:15] you believe that the citizens should

[47:16] have an opportunity to provide input

[47:19] before that decision is finalized?

[47:22] And the responses that I received from

[47:24] those conversations that I had are what

[47:26] I would like to share with you this

[47:28] evening.

[47:29] So, the first thing that I found that

[47:31] was surprising to me is I had asked

[47:33] people whether

[47:34] uh they would like to have a more

[47:36] aggressive uh police force here. And

[47:39] with that question, uh this city is

[47:41] actually genuinely split.

[47:44] Um 38% of the people said yes, and 40%

[47:48] of the people said no.

[47:49] And 22% said only in specific uh

[47:52] specific areas or specific situations.

[47:56] You know, there's no clear uh preference

[47:58] for one approach over the other.

[48:01] You know, the city is divided and

[48:03] divided almost exactly down the middle.

[48:06] So, if residents themselves aren't

[48:09] unified on tactics,

[48:11] uh that raises the obvious question, who

[48:13] should decide?

[48:15] And that's where the third question I

[48:16] asked becomes the whole point of

[48:18] standing here today.

[48:20] I asked the citizens,

[48:23] "Would you support a public engagement

[48:25] process before the next chief is

[48:27] actually hired for Sioux City?"

[48:29] And 98% of those citizens that I spoke

[48:31] to said, "Yes."

[48:33] 98% of the people who took the time to

[48:36] listen to what I had to say and actually

[48:38] sign on to my petition

[48:40] um are telling this council the same

[48:42] thing in one voice.

[48:45] That we don't need you to guess what we

[48:47] want.

[48:48] Just ask us.

[48:50] So,

[48:52] uh when I asked residents what they

[48:53] actually cared about, violent crime came

[48:56] up the most, uh followed by

[48:58] homelessness, uh community relations was

[49:01] next, and then mental health in that

[49:03] order.

[49:04] It was not one issue, but a cluster of

[49:06] issues that point to a chief who can

[49:09] hold enforcement and social services

[49:11] together at the same time, not one or

[49:14] the other.

[49:15] So, here's my request.

[49:17] Before the council and city manager uh

[49:19] finalize a decision on the next chief of

[49:21] police,

[49:22] um I respectfully request that the

[49:23] council conduct a formal public

[49:25] engagement process.

[49:27] It could be a city-wide survey,

[49:29] uh open forum, whatever format that you

[49:31] guys choose.

[49:33] So, that the direction of this

[49:34] department reflects the priorities of

[49:36] the people it serves.

[49:38] Um it's not a request to tie the

[49:39] council's hands on who gets hired. It's

[49:41] just a request to make sure that whoever

[49:43] gets hired is hired with the community's

[49:46] voice already in the room.

[49:48] Uh the petition has shown that there is

[49:50] actually real citizen interest in having

[49:52] their input considered.

[49:54] And if this council commits to that

[49:56] process,

[49:57] I believe hundreds more across the city

[50:00] will say the same thing. Thank you.

[50:02] >> Thank you.

[50:02] >> Can I ask how many people you surveyed?

[50:05] >> I got up to I think it was 53.

[50:08] Yeah, it was a short process. I had like

[50:10] four days. I wanted to try to get it

[50:11] done as soon as possible, but

[50:13] >> I think a public survey is not a bad

[50:15] idea. We can, you know, discuss it and

[50:18] I think we may have time to be able to

[50:20] put something like that together that

[50:21] people can easily just do it from their

[50:23] home cuz a lot of times they can't get

[50:25] here or they don't have time or they're

[50:27] working or whatever. And a lot of times

[50:29] just being able to answer a survey

[50:30] questionnaire on your phone or from your

[50:32] PC or your tablet will work a lot

[50:34] better.

[50:35] >> That's perfect.

[50:36] >> Jeremy, I've I've got I'm sorry.

[50:38] I had a quick question

[50:40] or comment and a question.

[50:41] Mike, isn't there a community input

[50:44] aspect to the hiring phases?

[50:46] >> There is. We're intending to have

[50:49] individuals on a community panel that

[50:50] represent different demographics and

[50:52] populations of the community. Just that

[50:55] have been community leaders

[50:56] we know we will go to as part of the

[50:58] process as well.

[50:59] >> Okay. Awesome.

[51:00] >> And my question is can you give me a

[51:02] little bit of background who who who or

[51:04] what is the new Sioux City Development

[51:06] Initiative?

[51:06] >> Yes, of course. So, the organization

[51:09] just focus on research and advocacy

[51:11] community issues economic development

[51:15] just trying to

[51:17] look for ways and opportunities that we

[51:19] can help Sioux City grow and

[51:23] just take advantage of opportunities

[51:25] that we have to make Sioux City better.

[51:27] >> Thank you.

[51:28] >> Jeremy, was it Jeremy, is it safe to say

[51:30] that

[51:31] what you've seen here in the last few

[51:32] months though, this isn't a reflection

[51:34] of any other kind, that this this

[51:35] council that all five of us are

[51:37] extremely transparent in this process.

[51:39] The people the conversations that we're

[51:40] having sometimes painful, sometimes not.

[51:42] And even at the beginning of this

[51:43] process we started to talk Um,

[51:46] the hiring of the chief as I mean I

[51:47] think it's been extremely transparent

[51:49] and inviting feedback um

[51:52] from the public. And I know that the the

[51:54] feedback just walking through Walmart

[51:56] and Menards and everything else has been

[51:58] extremely positive I think to all of us

[52:00] that they appreciate that we're asking

[52:02] for feedback.

[52:03] >> Yes, 100% 100%.

[52:04] >> when you get the feedback, sometimes you

[52:05] got to be careful what you the answer

[52:07] you get.

[52:08] >> Yeah.

[52:08] >> But then maybe it's just I'm a magnet

[52:09] for it, but the feedback I get it's that

[52:11] people are ready they want they they want to feel safe like you

[52:14] said. They they want to be safe in the

[52:16] community. Um, they want to be able to

[52:17] do commerce in this community um freely

[52:19] and safely. So, um it's just it's a

[52:22] great conversation. Thanks for what

[52:23] you're doing.

[52:23] >> There's people that agree with that and

[52:25] there's people on the other side. It's

[52:26] just throughout um you know, me having

[52:28] conversations with people I just seen

[52:30] that the city's kind of really split on

[52:31] that. There's people on both sides. So,

[52:33] um that was just interesting information

[52:35] that I was able to gather and I just

[52:37] felt like I should share it with the

[52:37] council.

[52:38] >> Sure.

[52:39] >> Thank you.

[52:39] >> Yep.

[52:40] >> Appreciate that.

[52:50] » Cindy Hanson.

[52:51] I'm um I wasn't really planning to speak

[52:54] today, but um in regards to the last

[52:56] speaker, I also um thought it might be a

[52:58] good time to remind folks that there are

[53:01] lots of opportunities for city

[53:03] engagement for citizens

[53:05] such as the Civil Service Commission

[53:07] which has two positions currently open.

[53:10] So, you may want to encourage some of

[53:11] your folks to apply for those.

[53:13] And then other city commissions that are

[53:15] great avenues for citizens to provide

[53:18] input into what's happening at the city.

[53:21] The other thing that I wanted to mention

[53:23] um as I drove down from Briarcliff

[53:25] today, I encountered several areas of

[53:27] road construction. And I could complain

[53:29] about that, but I looked at it and I

[53:31] said, I am thankful that you've made the

[53:33] decision to invest in our

[53:34] infrastructure. So, I know those are

[53:36] expensive projects.

[53:38] They make a difference. Thank you for

[53:40] the decisions you're making.

[53:42] >> I always tell people you complain when

[53:44] we tear streets up and you complain

[53:47] when we fix it. Much sooner you complain

[53:49] cuz we're fixing a street than one

[53:51] >> [laughter]

[53:52] >> Right.

[53:54] >> Thank you.

[53:55] >> Thanks, Cindy.

[53:57] >> All right. Rick.

[53:59] >> Quickly.

[54:01] Nice meeting.

[54:03] Uh first, uh Patrick, you still in here?

[54:05] Good job with your communication up on

[54:06] Freemar. Um

[54:08] yeah, I think in the long run it's going

[54:09] to save us some money with all the

[54:10] issues we're having up there. I know I

[54:11] haven't found all the issues yet, but

[54:13] let's stay on that and uh and don't drop

[54:15] the uh the bombs on the the property

[54:17] owners that might have to do some stuff

[54:18] in their own properties. Maybe go up and

[54:20] knock on their door or let them know

[54:21] versus just send them a note that that

[54:23] might buffer a little bit of that to get

[54:24] a little more compliance, but let's stay

[54:26] on that. I I think we're you're you guys

[54:28] are responding and I very appreciate

[54:30] [clears throat] the homeowners and the

[54:31] contractors. So, good job. Uh second, on

[54:35] Jill, I know Jill's not here. She's

[54:36] going to give us an update I think next

[54:37] week on uh I requested that she give us

[54:40] the dollar amount that's been collected

[54:41] year-to-date on those those foolish

[54:43] signs that were put up to don't give it

[54:45] to panhandlers, but send it to a fund.

[54:47] I'd like to have the the balance on that

[54:49] fund and how much money is given

[54:50] annually or monthly or weekly and what's

[54:52] what dollars are left in there. If not,

[54:54] we have the poles. We already paid to

[54:55] put the poles in and I have a concept

[54:57] for another sign we could put on it. Um

[54:59] kind of that reflects uh the bus program

[55:02] that we put in place before. So, she's

[55:03] going to give us an update there next

[55:04] week on that, which is great. Um

[55:07] uh third, on the um the sheriff, you you

[55:12] said you're going to give us the update

[55:12] on the sheriff. Where are you at with

[55:14] that? Uh candidates start tomorrow or

[55:16] police chief starts tomorrow?

[55:17] >> Yes.

[55:18] >> That's a cool cool deal.

[55:19] >> I'm meeting with the panel tonight after

[55:20] this meeting and then assessments are

[55:22] Tuesday, Wednesday. Um and then we'll

[55:24] have a list next week.

[55:26] >> And then on the bus route thing, I I

[55:27] requested that Sheriff Sheahan, that's

[55:29] where I said Sheriff Sheahan, give us

[55:31] don't just come up here and tell us you

[55:32] need a route. Tell us what you

[55:34] specifically need. I I know if you saw

[55:35] that email that I sent over. He he

[55:36] actually put together a bus schedule. I

[55:38] said, you know, don't just bark at us,

[55:39] give us a schedule. And he And I To his

[55:41] credit, he did. He put a schedule what

[55:43] he thinks it would that would that we we

[55:44] would need for that loop through there.

[55:46] So, thank you to Sheriff Sheehan for

[55:47] that. And uh we will evaluate that and

[55:50] see if it works.

[55:51] Um and then

[55:53] on the uh the railroad, I don't know if

[55:55] we have any contact with the railroad,

[55:56] but is it just me or we're really

[55:59] demanding a lot of our citizens to get

[56:01] the grass off the curbs and all these

[56:02] things? And I think our citizens are

[56:03] stepping up and doing it. And the

[56:05] railroad right now looks like the wild

[56:07] west with the with the weeds and stuff.

[56:09] And I know they're the all-powerful

[56:10] railroad, but uh let's let's if we're

[56:12] not afraid to send letters to everybody

[56:14] else, let's send it let's

[56:15] um let's let's kick the railroad a

[56:17] little bit and say they need to clean

[56:18] their act up a little bit along those

[56:19] roads.

[56:21] It's time. It's time.

[56:23] >> They will they mow. Burlington Northern

[56:25] doesn't mow.

[56:26] >> City needs to spray is what they need to

[56:28] do. They need them big old tumbleweeds

[56:29] are just a right on the curbs up 75. And

[56:31] if you go down there,

[56:33] um

[56:33] >> But we can't get to Burlington, but the

[56:35] UP's been busy. They don't mow as often

[56:38] as you mow your yard, but they at least

[56:39] will mow, so that's

[56:41] >> Yeah, it's pretty pretty shady down in

[56:42] our neck of the woods. Um so, that's all

[56:44] I would ask is we give the the a

[56:45] friendly tap to the railroad on that end

[56:47] of it. Um and then uh lastly, I know

[56:50] that uh next week um we're going to get

[56:52] the update from Angle on the wastewater

[56:54] treatment. Julie alluded to that um last

[56:57] week. Um I sat in a meeting with that.

[56:59] Um

[57:00] we left abruptly, and I think we're

[57:02] going to have uh we're going to turn a

[57:04] loss into a win um in the next few weeks

[57:06] when it comes to that

[57:08] uh joke of a response that they gave us

[57:11] um from Kiewit. So, I look forward to

[57:14] that conversation. Um

[57:16] and uh let's have a great week.

[57:19] >> Frank.

[57:19] >> Uh I've got a number of items, but I'll

[57:21] try and go quickly, Mayor. Um first item

[57:23] is the Hamilton Boulevard medians. Is

[57:26] there a CIP to either repair or replace?

[57:29] The medians look very poor.

[57:31] >> There is. It's part of the

[57:33] reconstruction when we were we had a

[57:34] project is

[57:36] for what you're this this year

[57:38] okay part of that one you approved

[57:40] today. Okay.

[57:42] That's 15th to 20th

[57:44] that's not all of it

[57:46] it's a portion.

[57:47] But these meetings will be picked up in

[57:49] a CIP very good.

[57:51] I know we've asked before for the 2026

[57:54] legislative update. I know that staff is

[57:56] still waiting to get some directions

[57:59] encourage to get that was going to ask

[58:01] about the wastewater treatment plant. I

[58:02] know Julie brought it up last week. Rick

[58:04] Rick's update is good. Can I encourage

[58:07] Matt and his team to continue to work on

[58:09] developing activities on the riverfront.

[58:11] I think we need to be much more

[58:12] aggressive. It's it's such a unique

[58:14] opportunity

[58:15] and I think it looks great. I think that I think there's been some good

[58:19] recent clean up but I'd encourage

[58:21] additional use.

[58:22] I already mentioned the issue of the

[58:24] campus concept for the homeless and

[58:26] transient issues.

[58:28] Julie and I had a really helpful meeting

[58:30] last week with Dustin Cooper and Corey

[58:33] Westra on the new arena and some

[58:35] opportunities there Mike I shared those

[58:36] with you and I look forward to

[58:38] continuing that dialogue. I did want to

[58:40] mention a couple weeks ago we didn't

[58:41] have a meeting on a Monday and so the

[58:44] synagogue actually did some volunteer

[58:46] work at the warming shelter had a visit.

[58:48] Had an opportunity to visit with Sheila

[58:50] and it was a it was a really nice

[58:51] evening for us to provide some input but

[58:53] to also engage with some of their

[58:55] residents and their citizens and that

[58:57] was very productive. I know we're

[58:59] supposed to be getting the entertainment

[59:01] district update shortly. So I just

[59:03] encourage you to continue to work with

[59:05] Marty and Renee and find out when Steve

[59:07] Watson's going to get that.

[59:09] Rick thanks for bringing up the route

[59:11] the bus route issue. I did have a chance

[59:12] to talk to Mike about that last week.

[59:14] Hopefully we'll see something soon. Mike

[59:16] and I have a meeting tomorrow on some

[59:17] health care items. I've had a chance

[59:19] over the last two weeks to be visiting

[59:22] with a number of the library board

[59:23] members and I'm encouraged by their

[59:25] input their engagement, and their

[59:26] communication.

[59:31] And then I've also had a number of

[59:32] people that asked me about my my

[59:34] requested a couple months ago to talk

[59:36] about a new branding or marketing

[59:37] campaign. I know Anne had mentioned she

[59:39] just didn't have the time when we

[59:41] visited earlier. Can Can we find out

[59:43] where that stands now, please?

[59:45] And that's it. Thank you.

[59:48] >> Absolutely. As always, again, I just

[59:50] want to thank those that are out there,

[59:52] you know, for our citizens, for your

[59:54] engagement, and and showing up. This is

[59:57] how it happens and what needs to happen.

[59:59] I also, you know, have a few thank yous.

[1:00:01] I want to thank, you know, Mike and

[1:00:02] Patrick for

[1:00:04] cleaning the bag that was hanging on the

[1:00:07] skywalk up, and also getting those wires

[1:00:10] tucked in. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[1:00:12] I feel like I'm becoming the weed guy,

[1:00:15] and when I see weeds, grass, weed.

[1:00:17] >> You might want to clarify [laughter]

[1:00:19] that.

[1:00:20] >> I'm getting contacted for those things,

[1:00:22] and so obviously Mike, I sent you an

[1:00:24] email about that, looking at some of

[1:00:26] those things. I think there are some

[1:00:27] areas that we need to

[1:00:29] really make sure that we we stay on top

[1:00:31] of. Couple things here.

[1:00:33] I had a young lady come in to the coffee

[1:00:35] shop today, and

[1:00:37] she'd moved here from Arizona about six

[1:00:40] or seven months ago, and she chose Sioux

[1:00:43] City, and she said she absolutely loves

[1:00:45] Sioux City, and that was music to my

[1:00:47] ears, and she she just thought that this

[1:00:50] was a phenomenal place, and great place

[1:00:52] to live. Her and her husband, they're

[1:00:53] empty nesters now, and they absolutely

[1:00:56] love it. So, you know, we're doing

[1:00:58] something right, and and and and I just

[1:01:00] want to, you know, let city staff and and city administration know that

[1:01:04] we're doing something right. Let's keep

[1:01:06] doing it right, cuz that's the growth

[1:01:08] that we need, right? And and we're

[1:01:09] looking at, which to that point, I know

[1:01:12] Craig and Julie were both there. It was

[1:01:14] nice to welcome the team USA handball

[1:01:17] committee to town, and

[1:01:19] I love the fact that they're partnering

[1:01:21] with my alma mater, Briar Cliff

[1:01:23] University, Uh and and and those things.

[1:01:26] And man, I didn't realize that handball

[1:01:29] was what it was, right? And

[1:01:31] >> Not handball like used to be.

[1:01:32] >> Right, exactly. [laughter]

[1:01:34] >> Team handball.

[1:01:34] >> Man, it is just yeah, team It is unreal,

[1:01:37] right?

[1:01:38] So, I'm happy and excited that we are

[1:01:40] continuing to get those things

[1:01:44] into Sioux City. Like,

[1:01:45] >> You and I nominated you to play goalie.

[1:01:47] >> I Yeah, you know.

[1:01:49] >> [laughter]

[1:01:50] >> I'll decline respectfully, right? I just

[1:01:53] love the fact that we're we're seeing

[1:01:54] movement, we're moving. This is what,

[1:01:56] you know, we

[1:01:58] were elected to do and and and keep

[1:02:00] Sioux City moving forward and with that.

[1:02:02] So, I'm excited about those things.

[1:02:04] >> Same with mine.

[1:02:05] Well, everybody took everything I was

[1:02:06] going [clears throat] to say. So, you

[1:02:08] guys lucked out today.

[1:02:10] Um watch for adopt-a-street. I'm

[1:02:12] starting a little campaign. I'm going to

[1:02:14] put it on social media, and we need lots

[1:02:16] of families, businesses, churches, civic

[1:02:20] groups, whomever you are, to adopt our

[1:02:23] streets just to do a little extra litter

[1:02:26] pick up, and just to make this city

[1:02:29] very clean, and we want everyone who

[1:02:31] lives here and who passes through to be

[1:02:33] proud. That's all I have.

[1:02:35] >> I got a letter from a lady that was here

[1:02:37] in 1976 telling me how nice the city is.

[1:02:42] I forwarded it to all of you guys. I

[1:02:43] wasn't here last week, and I got to tell

[1:02:45] you I didn't miss you one bit. It was

[1:03:18] hope he does well.
