You got it, okay. I come to you this evening as a president of the Henry County Coalition Committee,

142
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:25,300
thanking you and the council members for your commitment and developing a wonderful city of

143
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:31,400
Stockbridge and to the great community that it is. In the 14 years of we have lived here,

144
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,700
that we have seen this city grow and expand into a vibrant community with great places to

145
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:38,400
live, shop, work, and play.

146
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,140
And we thank you for that.

147
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:46,360
We thank you for all that you do and that you continue to do as a city government.

148
00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:52,000
Now we have an opportunity to continue that growth by looking at our quality of life standards

149
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,660
in developing areas of green space.

150
00:24:55,300 --> 00:25:00,920
We think that development of a brand new first class family park within the city of Stockbridge

151
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:06,260
will be a great addition to the city's commitment of developing green space areas and improving

152
00:25:06,260 --> 00:25:08,640
the quality of life standards.

153
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:14,720
The offer of the FIFA organization to include two new soccer fields within the new park,

154
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,200
we feel only enhances the city's green space development efforts.

155
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,020
Therefore, the Henry County Coalition Committee strongly supports this effort to include

156
00:25:24,020 --> 00:25:29,620
the two new soccer fields within the planned new family park and would ask for your consideration

157
00:25:29,620 --> 00:25:35,260
to approve. Thank you Mr. Mayor. Thank you, sir appreciate it. Any other public comments?

158
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,400

00:26:07,340 --> 00:26:07,940
Is there a second?

167
00:26:08,260 --> 00:26:08,440
A second.

168
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,220
There's part of the second that.

169
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:10,840
From Ms. Gantham, Ms. Barbara, I'm fair, please indicate.

170
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,240
Thank you very much.

171
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,320
She's now a decision there.

172
00:26:13,940 --> 00:26:14,520
And what is next?

173
00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:15,500
We have a presentation.

174
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,660
I'll try to give away event.

175
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:20,660
Grant for Relive Relief.

176
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,840
Present by representative.

177
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:24,640
Virginia Lewis Ward.

178
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:25,840
Please.

179
00:26:26,660 --> 00:26:26,700
Representative.

180
00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:33,560
And welcome to St. Bridges by the way, which is obviously your home as well.

181
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,940
And, ladies and gentlemen, if you didn't know of many years or so ago, Representative Lewis

182
00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:43,980
Ward was actually a member of the City Council, and then she decided to leave me and

183
00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:46,320
broke my heart and went on to the other things.

184
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,020
We're welcome back, Representative.

185
00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:07,960
I'm here formally to talk about a tree giveaway event that's going to take place in my district, which compromise the stock bridge and stone crest.

186
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:19,820
The purpose of the event is to increase tree canopy, which will eventually increase the overall health of the residents in the city of Stockbridge.

187
00:27:20,420 --> 00:27:29,320
Before I introduce the sustainability scientists, who is also the manager of the program, let me just share with you.

188
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,960
And everyone is stuck with just not eligible.

189
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,780
It's only on a certain track that the residents will be eligible.

190
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,160
And there's a site called Auburday.event.

191
00:27:44,460 --> 00:27:46,540
Aubudday.eventbright.com.

192
00:27:47,220 --> 00:27:48,980
You go on to that site and you sign up.

193
00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:50,160
You put your address in.

194
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,400
And you'll be notified whether or not you are eligible for the free tree.

195
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,280
I'm giving away.

196
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:58,700
And the event will take place on Aubud Day on Georgia, Aubud Day,

197
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:11,340
which is February 20, it's 2026, and I want to thank Mayor Ford for his comments and his blessings for allowing us to work with the residents in Stockbridge to give away free trees.

198
00:28:12,060 --> 00:28:15,160
The funding is provided by

199
00:28:17,980 --> 00:28:27,460
the USDA Forest Service in partnership with the Georgia Tree Council and the Georgia Forestry Commission, that's where the funding is coming from.

200
00:28:27,460 --> 00:28:37,520
So let me introduce Charlotte King, who is the Sustainability Scientist and the also the manager of the project and she will answer any questions and give you more information about the benefits.

201
00:28:38,260 --> 00:28:38,460
Welcome.

202
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,160
And by the way, I want to mention to you council.

203
00:28:40,340 --> 00:28:43,320
You just should be too docked with right in front of you on the dios here.

204
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:49,420
That was handed out by the clerk for you representing this particular presentation as well.

205
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:50,900
Good evening.

206
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:58,320
My name is Charlie King, I'm a sustainability scientist, but I live here in Stockbridge, and

207
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:06,500
Eagle Flamming, so the community is very important to me. I created the handout for you as an easy reference so that you understand

208
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:14,220
the importance of trees in our community. Stockbridge used to be a tree city USA, but with this giveaway

209
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:20,880
what we're trying to do is to reinforce the importance of trees in their connection to the

210
00:29:20,900 --> 00:29:28,540
growth of stock bridge, where it is being disproportionately impacted by stormwater, runoff,

211
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,540
infrastructure, costs, energy costs, but also public health impacts.

212
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:41,260
So as we look at tree plantings, whether they are part of the Skival way or urban initiatives,

213
00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:47,620
or even stock bridge public policy, I wanted to, because I am a sustainability scientist

214
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:50,340
to understand how important this is.

215
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,140
In addition, Stockbridge is well-positioned

216
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:57,240
to emerge as a model tree smart city

217
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,980
and consistent with the priorities for the...

218
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:10,760
State of Georgia. Finally, keep in mind that both this event, as well as additional trees in urban communities,

219
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:18,160
it reduces stormwater infrastructure costs, it lowers heat-related medical emergencies. It suppresses

220
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:26,500
peak energy demands, strength and climate resilience in public safety, and it delivers visible,

221
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:35,160
voter-trusted action. So with this event, we're here to try to be a resource to the city of

222
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,340
Stockbridge and to answer any questions that you might have.

223
00:30:39,140 --> 00:30:41,500
Thank you for that. Council, any questions that you may have?

224
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:48,840
Anybody? So once again, so this is of Arbor Day, February 26th, if I got it right.

225
00:30:49,340 --> 00:30:51,700
Is that right? February 20th, we'll be in the end.

226
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:59,080
Okay, 2026, and then there's a website that we have to go on and log on to be a recipient of a free free tree as a course.

227
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:07,440
Yes. We have given you this information, but on the orange handout that I created specifically for a stock bridge,

228
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:17,340
it will give you references at your fingertips to answer any questions that you need about resources and many of the resources that I gave you are free.

229
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,980
And so do we need to coordinate anything like our car park or place like this before there

230
00:31:23,980 --> 00:31:25,220
be distributed to folks?

231
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:27,300
Yes, I think earlier you and I had spoke.

232
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:31,660
We were looking at Clock Park and one of the pavilions.

233
00:31:31,740 --> 00:31:32,600
One pavilions, okay?

234
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,600
And Clock Park, yeah.

235
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,760
The website is obaday.eventbright.com.

236
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,700
And we encourage volunteers to also sign up because we need folks to help give out the trees.

237
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:50,960
But number one, as City Council, anything you can do to promote this giveaway, we're only

238
00:31:50,960 --> 00:32:00,460
as good as homeowners and landlords and other eligible individuals come and take these

239
00:32:00,460 --> 00:32:00,920
trees.

240
00:32:01,380 --> 00:32:06,840
For them not to be received, would be a huge waste.

241
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:12,100
Remember the trees contribute to the canopy for the entire city.

242
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:15,120
Okay. Good. Well, I'll go ahead, sir.

243
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,620
Let me thank you so much for bringing this forward. Certainly we've been trying to be supportive as possible.

244
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,580
Thank you representative. We certainly want to make sure we're doing the things.

245
00:32:24,740 --> 00:32:27,520
Certainly we have gone above. I know one of the things that we've done.

246
00:32:27,660 --> 00:32:30,400
We saw it out to plant trees in the median.

247
00:32:31,020 --> 00:32:33,580
And that's something that we have seen a lot on this side of town.

248
00:32:33,820 --> 00:32:36,180
So I see homeowners, everybody else.

249
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:37,880
So what if the city wanted some of the trees?

250
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:43,800
Yes, we do want to, we do want the city to contribute, we would love it if Stockbridge

251
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:50,160
became, again, a tree city USA, but also even though you're planning trees in the median,

252
00:32:50,940 --> 00:32:53,680
there are other things that we like to see you do.

253
00:32:54,080 --> 00:33:00,340
A tree inventory would be really great, planning native species, all of those things will help

254
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:04,980
overall air quality, stormwater runoff, and the infrastructure or the city.

255
00:33:04,980 --> 00:33:10,440
Well, certainly because we do the community cleanup every quarter like the plant some of these trees

256
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:18,280
Well, I'm not so good on tree topping as well. My job is to try to answer your questions and to be a resource.

257
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,980
Absolutely. Thank you.

258
00:33:21,620 --> 00:33:21,700
Sure.

259
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:28,300
Did you have any digital print media that we can share on our social media platforms and things in that nature?

260
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:33,840
You can share the sign-up site and we can get you something.

261
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,120
Anything else that you need on the reference sheet that I gave you?

262
00:33:38,420 --> 00:33:44,980
Those are tremendous resources and I always like to emphasize that those resources are

263
00:33:44,980 --> 00:33:50,600
your tax dollars that work but if you need anything specific to stock bridge, we're happy

264
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:57,480
to create that for you and we do have four months before it's a bit but we are in the

265
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:04,480
So whatever we can get you to do to help us promote it would be an added bonus.

266
00:34:05,540 --> 00:34:05,620
Okay.

267
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:06,220
Good.

268
00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:07,480
We'll do that.

269
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:09,460
That's it.

270
00:34:09,620 --> 00:34:09,860
Questions?

271
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:10,520
Okay.

272
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:12,100
Representative, thank you very much.

273
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:13,620
Happy holidays to you.

274
00:34:15,060 --> 00:34:16,700
Council will have now's consent agenda.

275
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,760
It deals with, of course, the 2026 event calendar event.

276
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,400
City events, Main Street events.

277
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:28,780

00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,320
Termans on 31, December 29, and then for the City of Police,

284
00:35:05,340 --> 00:35:07,120
the Advisory Council of District 1 and Commerce,

285
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,600

Judy Neill's own four.

293
00:35:29,220 --> 00:35:31,620
So I'll do it on the police chief's selection there.

294
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,840
And those terms ended on the 31st of December 20, 27.

295
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,860
All right, that's all part of the consent agenda.

296
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,100
If I have a second motion to approve in a second, please.

297
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,700
So move for Mr. Barri, is there a second?

298
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,080
Mr. Alzaz, second, all fair, please indicate?

299
00:35:53,660 --> 00:35:55,780
Yes, ma'am.

300
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:03,780
On this consent agenda, there's just the calendar of events that we're approving.

301
00:36:07,470 --> 00:36:07,730
I'm sorry.

302
00:36:08,130 --> 00:36:11,210
I didn't go through each event on the calendar.

303
00:36:12,410 --> 00:36:12,930
You know what?

304
00:36:13,450 --> 00:36:15,630
My question is to the mayor.

305
00:36:15,870 --> 00:36:21,610
I just want to make sure that we are just approving just the calendar.

306
00:36:21,610 --> 00:36:25,610
the dates for these city events.

307
00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:27,030
Yes, I mean.

308
00:36:27,030 --> 00:36:28,670
Support the budget.

309
00:36:29,630 --> 00:36:30,190
Yes.

310
00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:31,310
The city events.

311
00:36:31,310 --> 00:36:32,850
The city events.

312
00:36:33,130 --> 00:36:33,490
Basically events.

313
00:36:34,070 --> 00:36:35,730
And in all the necessities for the mayor council.

314
00:36:36,110 --> 00:36:36,970
That's right.

315
00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:38,310
So your favorite mayor.

316
00:36:38,770 --> 00:36:40,030
Let me see this before.

317
00:36:40,730 --> 00:36:42,610
I'm going to take my vote back.

318
00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:44,650
This is what I say we should do.

319
00:36:44,810 --> 00:36:48,410
We should revisit this at the end once we finish.

320
00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:51,270
Because I have a couple of changes that I want to put in the budget.

321
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:56,970
one of the events is the African-American history month event, which is not on the schedule of the calendar.

322
00:36:57,590 --> 00:36:59,910
So probably we should come back to revisit it.

323
00:36:59,910 --> 00:37:05,270
On this basis, I don't know, the calendar is only, not the, on the calendar, on the calendar.

324
00:37:06,450 --> 00:37:12,170
Okay, so you're talking about the, the overall calendar when it comes to city events,

325
00:37:12,290 --> 00:37:15,890
may it's revets Americano and this is, right, there's a couple of changes on this.

326
00:37:15,890 --> 00:37:22,290
just so let's let's fall back and bring that back out that we approve the budget with the changes

327
00:37:22,290 --> 00:37:26,350
and then we'll have. Oh sure, really? Is that correct? So you're a sub dancer? Yes.

328
00:37:30,370 --> 00:37:36,350
So I would be saying that original and no, no, it's not making me.

329
00:37:36,350 --> 00:37:44,390
So I would be saying that original and then make a motion that we move agenda item 3 to the end of the agenda.

330
00:37:44,810 --> 00:37:48,570
Let me make a, let me make a, I don't know if there's a whole item for you. Just talking about one place.

331
00:37:48,750 --> 00:37:51,790
People who are voting on all of them together. So you, you would think,

332
00:37:51,790 --> 00:37:52,810
That's all right.

333
00:37:53,510 --> 00:37:54,470
That's a verification.

334
00:37:55,410 --> 00:37:57,230
So there's two items on the consent agenda.

335
00:37:57,430 --> 00:37:58,510
One is the calendars.

336
00:37:58,950 --> 00:37:59,490
And then the other.

337
00:37:59,770 --> 00:38:00,030
All the other are the red.

338
00:38:00,210 --> 00:38:03,410
Are you only asking that the calendars.

339
00:38:03,470 --> 00:38:05,330
Be removed from the consent agenda.

340
00:38:05,390 --> 00:38:06,330
That's that's what my substance.

341
00:38:06,690 --> 00:38:07,590
That's what that's why.

342
00:38:07,790 --> 00:38:08,610
That's only the account.

343
00:38:08,610 --> 00:38:09,690
Only count events.

344
00:38:09,970 --> 00:38:10,750
Everybody else.

345
00:38:10,750 --> 00:38:11,950
Everything else can get approved.

346
00:38:12,410 --> 00:38:13,270
We just didn't want to count or this.

347
00:38:14,910 --> 00:38:15,110
That's true.

348
00:38:15,770 --> 00:38:16,130
That's true.

349
00:38:16,270 --> 00:38:16,510
Okay.

350
00:38:16,690 --> 00:38:18,650
So we removed the calendar.

351
00:38:18,950 --> 00:38:19,370
Okay.

352
00:38:19,370 --> 00:38:27,930
So, let me make a motion to move from consent agenda item three.

353
00:38:28,530 --> 00:38:36,110
Only of the 2026 calendar events to include city events, mainstream events, mayor and council initiatives

354
00:38:36,430 --> 00:38:42,970
to the end of our agenda and leave the appointments as they are stated.

355
00:38:42,970 --> 00:38:59,550
I second that. Okay, from, okay, Mr. Barry to Mr. Barbara, I'll favor that. Please indicate. Okay, if we got them, we're okay. So we'll put that thank you, let's just we'll put that at the end of the old business here, see here

356
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:13,430
27, 27 already then. Okay, one second.

357
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:23,460
Thank you for that. Okay. Okay, old business.

358
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:30,920
Council consideration approved, revised copy and SD special services, different map.

359
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:31,960
Michelle, please.

360
00:39:58,380 --> 00:40:00,020
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

361
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:08,200
As we were called back in October of last year, the Mayor and Council did approve the SSD map.

362
00:40:08,460 --> 00:40:12,960
However, during the budget retreat, there was some modifications to the map.

363
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,400
And this is the new map indicates these particular changes.

364
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:43,460
So the 2026 SSD map includes 1134 parcels that I primarily concentrated along North Henry Boulevard.

365
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,840
Rock Query Road and Eagles Land in the Parkway and State Route 138.

366
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,860
It's important to note that these parcels contain in the city's entertainment district.

367
00:40:53,020 --> 00:40:57,660
Also in the SSDs this includes the downtown village near North Henry Boulevard.

368
00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:00,600
in East Alana Road, the bridges of Jodico,

369
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,760
at the exit 222 of I-75 alone Jodico Road.

370
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,780
The S, the 2025 and the 2026,

371
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:11,160
S-S-S-D's are remarkably similar,

372
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:12,900
and geographic area.

373
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,280
The concentration of these parcels

374
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,500
and S-S-D also remains consistent

375
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:19,840
with the 2025 to 2026.

376
00:41:21,220 --> 00:41:23,660
One of the key differences between the two versions

377
00:41:23,660 --> 00:41:25,360
is the total number of parcels

378
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,800
and a geographic extent of those parcels,

379
00:41:29,660 --> 00:41:34,460
whereas the total number of parcels constitutes in the 2025 SSD is 816,

380
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,420
whereas in the 2026 proposed new map is, once again, 1134,

381
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,560
which is a difference of 318 parcels.

382
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,680
Some of these parcels boundaries in the SSD have been expanded

383
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,640
or reduced since 2025 does result in a geographic variation

384
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,760
in select regions of the city.

385
00:41:56,060 --> 00:42:02,100
It is also important to note that the adjustments from 2025 map to the 2026 middle-releaf

386
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:06,520
effects are recent update in the city's zoning district boundaries that sought to align

387
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,780
the city's parcel data when we're in that of Henry County.

388
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,400
Doing these updates, some of the parcels were split to a line where current plant records

389
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,520
for recent development.

390
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:22,780
As a result, these new parcels were technically added to the SSD, even though the

391
00:42:22,780 --> 00:42:28,900
graphic area of the SSD did not expand. Other parcels were merged together as a result

392
00:42:28,900 --> 00:42:33,920
some of those portions of the updated parcels were in 2025 and other portions were not.

393
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:40,180
So this just basically update that particular amount with those particular changes to a line

394
00:42:40,180 --> 00:42:45,240
definitely with the hearing county parcels and development. So we ask approval of the new SSD map.

395
00:42:46,340 --> 00:42:47,360
Questions, council.

396
00:42:53,830 --> 00:42:55,790
Now there's no question. Is this the emotional tool

397
00:42:55,790 --> 00:42:57,630
to make that approval.

398
00:42:57,970 --> 00:43:01,530
Make that adjustment in adding those additional parts of the

399
00:43:01,530 --> 00:43:02,130
soul rule.

400
00:43:02,670 --> 00:43:04,670
From Ms. Alexander's a second.

401
00:43:04,670 --> 00:43:06,870
Mr. Barry's second and I'm very pleased

402
00:43:06,870 --> 00:43:07,670
in the case.

403
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:09,840
Ms. Barbara?

404
00:43:12,620 --> 00:43:13,360
You have a comment.

405
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:13,980
You approve?

406
00:43:14,820 --> 00:43:15,360
At home.

407
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,020
Okay.

408
00:43:20,180 --> 00:43:20,960
She said you're opposed?

409
00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:21,980
Okay.

410
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:22,360
Opposes.

411
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:22,840
Okay.

412
00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:24,460
So, all right.

413
00:43:24,740 --> 00:43:26,800
So, right now, let me do this.

414
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,360
Let me make a motion to table.

415
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,140
and then return back, we're saying my motion, motion, the table.

416
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,500
Okay, is there a motion to table? You've made a motion, is there a second to that?

417
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:40,040
To table, you want to get this approved?

418
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:45,520
We need to get this approved, and certainly, I don't know where Ms. Gantt went to, but certainly, we need this approved.

419
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,820
Is there a second to table? Two tables.

420
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:54,920
Come here, it's very second, I'll favor the table.

421
00:44:00,100 --> 00:44:01,140
Is it proper?

422
00:44:01,740 --> 00:44:09,620
Mayor Ford. Yes, ma'am. I know we have a very heavy agenda and I want to keep things moving along.

423
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:16,820
I know that there may have been a consensus of the council to add this item to the agenda.

424
00:44:17,460 --> 00:44:26,940
I don't know what's driving this, so I'm not going to support it, because I have not been a part of any discussions regarding this.

425
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:54,700
This new map, it involves a large portion of the district that I represent, the district in which I am duly elected to represent, but no discussions or conversations prior to right now have been had with me and no, I'm not going to call staff and talk to them behind the scenes.

426
00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:58,320
No, I'm not going to have any of those kinds of discussions.

427
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:11,560
If the consensus of the council voted and in support of adding this item to the agenda, I expect that the consensus of the council will support it all the way through.

428
00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:13,700
So, I won't be supporting this.

429
00:45:14,060 --> 00:45:14,640
Thank you, sir.

430
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,760
Right now, the motion, motion, motion, we don't have a vote.

431
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,500
I resented my motion to approve.

432
00:45:21,460 --> 00:45:24,240
So, there's no vote. We'll just leave it there and move on to the next.

433
00:45:24,380 --> 00:45:26,160
Exactly. Exactly. That's exactly what's going to happen.

434
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,320
Okay. All right. Second reading for the, there's no vote, not second reading for the

435
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:35,140
Council to say, the race to approve the FY 2025 budget amendment ordinance in amount of

436
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:45,740
8858 million, 885, excuse me, 8,852,935 dollars. Mr. Mazzalesi, please.

437
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:25,800
Good evening. May I

438
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:34,360
even answer? This is Gwynetta Wend, 25 budget that we are trying to amend. So we amend

439
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:43,520
the budget when you have less or more revenues than expected or you have more expenditures than

440
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:54,600
revenue than expected so that the budget is any balance. So as we said in the past two public hearings,

441
00:46:56,420 --> 00:47:03,840
the 2025 budget, there were some funds that were not budgeted for, but there were some expenses.

442
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:16,120
So we are bringing all active funds into balance, into budget, whether there is zero or there are some active district in place.

443
00:47:17,860 --> 00:47:28,700
So in the first place, we have a general fund that was adopted with 29 million, 290, 330 and 11.

444
00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:36,360
that was the adoption of the budget on revenue side. But we are amending we expect revenues

445
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:45,920
in 2025 to move from 29.2 million to 32.1 million. And we have corresponding expenses

446
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:55,260
as the stipulated general fund expenses we start with governing body, C2c, executive, finance,

447
00:47:55,260 --> 00:48:01,660
90-part mental, business services, information technology, human resources, governing,

448
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:08,660
government buildings, municipal courts, police administration, public works, city events,

449
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:16,640
parks, permitting, planning, and zoning, economic development, ministry, GIS, and other funding.

450
00:48:17,300 --> 00:48:23,040
Financial funding for a total of 29.22, that's what was budgeted for.

451
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:38,600
So with the revision of revenues, the corresponding expenses also have been adjusted to 32.1, that's general fund.

452
00:48:41,100 --> 00:48:42,900
Then we get into other funds.

453
00:48:45,970 --> 00:48:48,670
Other funds is still the same as you see.

454
00:48:48,670 --> 00:48:54,690
There are some funds, for example, funding number one, which is confiscated assets.

455
00:48:54,890 --> 00:49:03,750
We budgeted nothing, but you see that their expenses, their 3038, that's the wisdom of making adjustment for active funds.

456
00:49:04,910 --> 00:49:10,690
Property and evidence. Again, budgeted nothing, but you see we have 9,000 there.

457
00:49:10,690 --> 00:49:21,170
upper, we budgeted zero, but we have 1.9 million in the budget, because we still have

458
00:49:21,170 --> 00:49:31,870
got obligations to meet until upper funds end in the 2026, December 2026, so that's

459
00:49:31,870 --> 00:49:38,930
why you see upper there, but you cannot bring any new expenses for upper, because it's closed,

460
00:49:38,930 --> 00:49:41,510
We just have to meet those obligations.

461
00:49:42,290 --> 00:49:44,190
Then you have grants hotel,

462
00:49:45,110 --> 00:49:47,320
Splash 5, which is the winding up,

463
00:49:48,150 --> 00:49:50,410
Splash 6T Splash's urban development,

464
00:49:51,310 --> 00:49:54,430
Seidwide projects, downtown development,

465
00:49:55,030 --> 00:49:59,250
Seidwide development, public facilities,

466
00:49:59,830 --> 00:50:02,590
Impact phase, semi-tally, water, sewer,

467
00:50:03,170 --> 00:50:06,950
Sensation, conference centre, and amphitheater.

468
00:50:06,950 --> 00:50:21,530
So, total of those ones, the adopted 2025 budget, we are 34.3 million, we anticipate that it will be 40.4 million.

469
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:29,720
Then you have a summary at the end of general fund.

470
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:38,500
That's the one that we said that a 2.1 million, then those other funds for a total of 72 million.

471
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:47,620
And that is anticipation for 2020-25, however the budget was adopted the RT63.6 million

472
00:50:47,620 --> 00:50:54,340
with a difference of 8.8 million, that's the one we are asking, Councilor to consider

473
00:50:54,340 --> 00:51:01,900
for adoption to make sure that we are in line in balancing revenue equal expenses.

474
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:12,160
Well, Graham, so otherwise we need a motion to accept this adjustment for this amendment.

475
00:51:12,700 --> 00:51:15,060
Let's do any questions, additional questions.

476
00:51:18,070 --> 00:51:22,330
Okay, I do have some additional statements, so certainly what is really happening, what

477
00:51:22,330 --> 00:51:30,450
you have described is an increase in revenue and in order to balance the budget and certainly

478
00:51:30,450 --> 00:51:34,970
we have projections that we have made throughout the year, but certainly there are some good

479
00:51:34,970 --> 00:51:43,450
in this and there's some not so good news in this and that the expenses were up, but the good news

480
00:51:43,450 --> 00:51:48,350
or even better news is that the revenue was up and we're going to be able to cover this. That's correct.

481
00:51:49,130 --> 00:51:55,030
Yeah, budget payment meant you have to have revenue to amend the budget. So they's the revenue

482
00:51:55,590 --> 00:52:01,230
corresponding with expenses. However, there are some funds that they don't have revenues in

483
00:52:01,230 --> 00:52:07,810
revenues so you have to move revenues from other funds, but at the end of it you are making

484
00:52:07,810 --> 00:52:15,030
the budgets to be in balance right so generally this is a standard customary practice by

485
00:52:15,030 --> 00:52:20,590
every city and county government that they have to endure they have to seek budget amendments

486
00:52:20,590 --> 00:52:25,370
to make sure that the balance the budget is balanced because the state requires a balance

487
00:52:25,370 --> 00:52:29,970
budget, is that correct? That is correct. Okay. Now, as we go down this land.

488
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:49,600
And then you have come in. You've done a tremendous amount of work in order to make sure that the budget was balanced and that we previously, you made several announcements that we needed to make a rather large adjustment, which was the $30 million to correct the budget.

489
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:57,440
So, we hear a lot of misstatements out there about $30 million was missing, $30 million was never missing.

490
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:05,440
We simply needed to do the transfers in order to correct the process in order to move their amounts to the right accounts.

491
00:53:05,780 --> 00:53:09,260
And you had indicated the money was pretty much in the splost accounts.

492
00:53:09,740 --> 00:53:16,060
But we had paid for those splost projects out of the general fund, which they should have been paid out of the splost.

493
00:53:16,060 --> 00:53:25,660
So basically, you had to move those philosophers in order to correct or to put the things in the right account.

494
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:36,060
And I kind of summarize this by saying, if you look at your household and you had the money in your checking account, your savings account,

495
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:45,060
and the money should have been in your checking account, or you had it in your IRA, or you had it in your CD, and it needed to be in your checking account in order to pay bills.

496
00:53:45,060 --> 00:53:51,580
It was simply in the wrong accounts because those accounts should have been in order for it to be in the right accounts

497
00:53:51,580 --> 00:53:57,160
They should have come to council the council would have voted on it and we would have put it in the right account

498
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:02,500
Because we would have taken it out of the CD and we would have put it in the check in account to pay the bill

499
00:54:02,980 --> 00:54:07,800
Originally had the process been followed correctly in the years that we're adjusted

500
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,120
That is a correct side

501
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:22,020
What we are doing here was being done in the past, but it was being done behind the scenes that he did not have authorization of the council.

502
00:54:22,020 --> 00:54:26,240
because it's still money was being moved from one fund to the other.

503
00:54:26,380 --> 00:54:29,300
There are some more funds that they didn't have enough revenues.

504
00:54:30,060 --> 00:54:34,760
So the movement and the balancing can only be authorized by the governing body.

505
00:54:36,100 --> 00:54:37,840
The two people opinion in this,

506
00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:40,780
if the individuals who were serving their commission,

507
00:54:41,180 --> 00:54:45,800
serving in the finance and in the leadership position of the city,

508
00:54:46,620 --> 00:54:51,100
have brought those transfers to the council in order for us

509
00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:56,640
transfer the money to the correct account. We want the bill in a position in the first place, what

510
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:03,500
would we? No, it would not be. But here we are now that you know, we just have to do

511
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:10,840
diligence. We can't spend more than what we bring in. And so far, it doesn't show that the

512
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:16,960
city is blocked, but we are just making sure that all funds are in balance. Whether there is money or

513
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:21,860
way that we move money, it should be transported into that tea, this is what we are doing.

514
00:55:22,380 --> 00:55:28,340
So we are putting all active funds for you to know what is happening in this fund every fund.

515
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:33,180
Right, and because of the substantial work that you have done and that you have gotten

516
00:55:33,180 --> 00:55:39,780
these books balanced, we're actually going to submit or submit it for an award. Is that correct?

517
00:55:40,780 --> 00:55:45,220
That is correct. Absolutely. So thank you. I appreciate it. And everybody

518
00:55:45,220 --> 00:55:59,360
What you had at loud and clearly, the city's up for a financial award, Mr. Malazia, because of the outstanding work that has been done to put the city books back into accordance with what should have been done initially in the first place.

519
00:55:59,580 --> 00:56:09,280
Cudos to you, sir, and your department for making sure that we're doing what we need to do to make sure that the books balance and that we're looking for a brighter future.

520
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:10,120
So thank you.

521
00:56:10,780 --> 00:56:15,980
All right, you know the comments, sorry, not go here please.

522
00:56:16,140 --> 00:56:19,480
Mr. Malazi, this $10,000 for a cemetery.

523
00:56:20,500 --> 00:56:23,800
Can you tell me what is that revenue expense?

524
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:26,800
It's both. It's revenue and expenditures.

525
00:56:27,860 --> 00:56:30,340
So, cemetery, there are no revenues there.

526
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,800
They are very minimal, but they are meant in us to be done.

527
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,860
And we have also to remember that the cemetery has got found.

528
00:56:37,860 --> 00:56:47,440
there are some people that give in. We have money. Now it's about 12,000. That has been

529
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:53,960
invested. So every year we have to take 10,000 this year. We have 20,000, 26. We have

530
00:56:53,960 --> 00:57:01,940
taken 20,000 from general fund to put similarly for developments that will be there. But every

531
00:57:01,940 --> 00:57:07,540
year we take 10,000, 10,000. But 20,000, 26, they feel like that's 10,000 will not be enough.

532
00:57:07,540 --> 00:57:10,220
So we have budgeted, you will see it in the transfer.

533
00:57:10,540 --> 00:57:14,300
That is only temporary for the four,

534
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:19,220
where are the others transfers, 30, 43, I think.

535
00:57:19,820 --> 00:57:20,340
Thank you, sir.

536
00:57:20,460 --> 00:57:21,180
One more question.

537
00:57:21,820 --> 00:57:22,520
The amphitheater.

538
00:57:23,460 --> 00:57:28,940
I know that we budgeted $2.6 million in 2025.

539
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:34,100
This budget amendment, the 4.4 million,

540
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:42,420
That's in addition to what was originally approved and about that is correct that's what we're anticipating as of now

541
00:57:42,420 --> 00:57:49,140
We have four point three, but we still have got some bills to pay so we are expecting to be

542
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,040
4.4 but should that be less

543
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:59,280
We will because we still have budget amendment final budget amendment for 225 is is there to come

544
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:07,240
So this is not, this is the media budget amendment, even though it's coming late, so there will be one final to close 20-25.

545
00:58:08,180 --> 00:58:14,040
Okay, can you explain why this portion of the budget amendment is coming to us so late?

546
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,400
And we have another one for this year.

547
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:18,760
Logistics?

548
00:58:21,310 --> 00:58:21,910
Thank you, sir.

549
00:58:22,110 --> 00:58:22,450
Yes, sir.

550
00:58:23,730 --> 00:58:31,290
You know, the question in the motion to accept is proposal to make this adjustment, is there a second?

551
00:58:31,550 --> 00:58:36,150
It's a very second there for Missiles and I'm sorry, I'm very pleased in the cake.

552
00:58:38,250 --> 00:58:41,010
I will oppose, and if I can, may I forward?

553
00:58:41,790 --> 00:58:44,450
Three, three, one, motion pass, go ahead of your comments.

554
00:58:44,730 --> 00:58:45,350
Really quick.

555
00:58:46,410 --> 00:58:51,210
So I know with, at least, one of these items, the amphitheater operations.

556
00:58:51,210 --> 00:58:58,570
those discussions were had in an executive session in which the Council authorized and

557
00:58:58,570 --> 00:59:05,670
Mr. Malazi to proceed with the expenses of the operation of the amphitheater in the

558
00:59:05,670 --> 00:59:15,530
2025 concert season. They authorized approval already. We're just approving this now to just

559
00:59:15,530 --> 00:59:18,030
that decision that was made.

560
00:59:18,730 --> 00:59:23,390
There are certain discussions regarding our city's operation,

561
00:59:24,170 --> 00:59:28,370
and the amphitheater that must be had in the public meeting,

562
00:59:29,170 --> 00:59:30,450
not behind closed doors.

563
00:59:31,190 --> 00:59:35,010
T-spost, spost, the amphitheater operations,

564
00:59:35,690 --> 00:59:39,730
are discussions that must be had in the public meeting.

565
00:59:40,070 --> 00:59:42,150
I just wanted to say that for the record, sir.

566
00:59:42,350 --> 00:59:42,850
Thank you.

567
00:59:42,850 --> 00:59:49,910
Yeah, I want to respond to that. Okay, certainly it is never no one would ever vote in

568
00:59:49,910 --> 00:59:54,510
executive session. That's illegal. You can't do that. We don't vote in a executive session.

569
00:59:54,710 --> 00:59:59,970
At first of all, everything that we discussed in executive session is privilege. You couldn't come out here and say it on the

570
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,320
Recreful, because that's the way, that's what we do. But to insinuate that we have voted back in

571
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:13,140
exactly the session as an insult to us. It's not true. And none of us vote. We have to come out here to

572
01:00:13,140 --> 01:00:19,960
vote in front of you all. No votes can be taken place in executive session. No one has ever done that.

573
01:00:20,220 --> 01:00:26,600
And so you understand what the treasurer is doing. It is required by Georgia State law that every

574
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,360
community have a balanced budget.

575
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:31,380
Should we not balance this budget,

576
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,800
we will be in violation of said state law.

577
01:00:35,940 --> 01:00:38,180
So, Mr. Malazi is doing what's necessary

578
01:00:38,180 --> 01:00:40,520
as city and county governments do.

579
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,320
The county does budget amendments.

580
01:00:42,580 --> 01:00:44,600
I every city around here does budget amendments.

581
01:00:45,020 --> 01:00:46,020
That's what they do.

582
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,000
Because all you can do is forecast the budget.

583
01:00:49,180 --> 01:00:51,080
No one is not stood on us,

584
01:00:51,380 --> 01:00:53,480
where you can say this is gonna be exactly this

585
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,060
and this is gonna be exactly that.

586
01:00:55,060 --> 01:00:59,260
what you have to do is you have to make these adjustments in order to make that happen.

587
01:00:59,340 --> 01:01:02,740
Tune in to the Henry County Commissioners meeting and see by to the adjustments.

588
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:06,840
Tune in to Hampton, Locke's Grove have made Donna and see the same things.

589
01:01:07,180 --> 01:01:11,640
Except you can watch these meetings on Facebook because we wanted to make sure it was important

590
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:16,240
that the community knows what's going on. Nothing has been hidden from you here.

591
01:01:16,540 --> 01:01:20,500
And certainly that's an insinuation. We totally improper that.

592
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:30,740
We did anything that in executive session that we voted. We certainly would not ever vote in executive session and that certainly would never be legal that we could

593
01:01:31,420 --> 01:01:38,160
Vote in executive session, but so you understand the process here. If we did not take this vote

594
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:43,320
We would violate the state law by not balancing the budget. Is that correct Mr. Malazi?

595
01:01:44,300 --> 01:01:45,020
That is correct.

596
01:01:45,620 --> 01:01:50,160
exactly so what are we to do we to sit here and say oh we're not going to do that

597
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:54,500
because we are on our high horse and we don't want to make sure but a three

598
01:01:54,500 --> 01:01:59,940
people up here did not vote we would be in violation of state law right now he's

599
01:01:59,940 --> 01:02:04,180
telling us the course that we need to take in order to make this happen so three

600
01:02:04,180 --> 01:02:08,500
members up here did what we had to do in order to comply with state law to make

601
01:02:08,500 --> 01:02:13,220
sure that the budget was balanced and we just did that thank you. Second reading

602
01:02:13,220 --> 01:02:16,440
council consideration approved an ordinance to amend title three of the

603
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:21,160
established code of ordinances regarding regarding finance to amend chapter

604
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,780
three point two zero. They're of entitled credit card payments to revive for

605
01:02:25,780 --> 01:02:31,040
convenience fees for certain transactions citywide effective one generally 2026

606
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,720
Miss Malazzi you're back up.

607
01:02:40,650 --> 01:02:41,670
Sorry, man.

608
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,620
Good evening everybody. This was

609
01:02:46,620 --> 01:02:54,360
Just before you previously as an ordinance, a text change, however upon further investigation,

610
01:02:55,380 --> 01:02:59,040
it is my belief that this is not need to be an ordinance change.

611
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,260
This is currently what is listed in Municode.

612
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:07,220
I have been searching to know a veil, unfortunately through all the minutes misallidate in

613
01:03:07,220 --> 01:03:12,860
this lesser, of helping me find the initial motion that Council passed in order to waive

614
01:03:12,860 --> 01:03:14,740
the convenience fees during the pandemic.

615
01:03:14,740 --> 01:03:23,680
I cannot find it. Ms. Holiday did point out one mention of it in December 2022 meeting to

616
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:29,900
rescind that waiver of the fees. That motion failed though and we've not been able to find anything else.

617
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:39,000
So what I would propose instead is drafting a resolution that resins any prior motion and reinstate

618
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:43,460
So those convenience fees, if that's council's wish.

619
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:45,860
Okay, goodbye.

620
01:03:46,300 --> 01:03:47,260
Go ahead, Mrs. Nesson.

621
01:03:48,460 --> 01:03:50,280
Every day that matters.

622
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,380
So is that something that we could do tonight?

623
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:54,140
Yes.

624
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,740
Okay, so certainly this, so everybody understands

625
01:03:57,740 --> 01:03:59,140
what we're trying to do.

626
01:03:59,420 --> 01:04:02,060
During the pandemic, we know that so many people

627
01:04:02,060 --> 01:04:04,200
were laid off, people lost their job.

628
01:04:04,540 --> 01:04:07,260
We suspended the credit card fee

629
01:04:07,260 --> 01:04:10,820
for paying any type of city fees during the city.

630
01:04:11,460 --> 01:04:13,660
So if you call the you pay your water bill,

631
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:18,180
you pay your business license fee, whatever that was.

632
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,440
We tried to give people a break just like many governments

633
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,500
did so that we could take a little bit off of your plate

634
01:04:25,500 --> 01:04:29,100
in order to make sure that your budget dollar stretched

635
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:32,000
when people were unemployed and in food lines.

636
01:04:32,740 --> 01:04:35,440
That was the tender or the circumstances

637
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:42,680
which did we did that. But every time you pay your utility bill or your business license,

638
01:04:43,540 --> 01:04:49,660
we get part of that fee, but it is said, right? The credit card fee, the credit card company,

639
01:04:49,740 --> 01:04:56,580
charge the city of fee. So if you paid $100 for your business license, for example,

640
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:04,040
if you use the credit card, we got like $95 or Mr. Valyze, the U.S. explained that little portion right

641
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:13,220
So different credit cards. They charge differently. Some is 2%, some is a flat fee of $7, so it depends.

642
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:19,080
There's no free because they are not charged. We absorb it.

643
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:25,440
So when we absorb it, it doesn't give us the true picture of our revenues.

644
01:05:25,980 --> 01:05:30,640
Because if we have zoning, there's a fee of $200.

645
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:37,160
us and did that pay by card which is $7 so that means instead of getting a 200 we get

646
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:38,300
to $1.93.

647
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:44,280
So that one night so in essence we're shorting ourselves on these fees because again in Europe

648
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:50,260
you're example the city fee was actually $200 but we're not going to be receiving that

649
01:05:50,260 --> 01:05:55,940
city fee we're going to be receiving $193 but you have to multiply that times every person

650
01:05:55,940 --> 01:06:02,600
pays a bill with a credit card or a debit card. Certainly, it would be our desire or hope

651
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:09,100
that these credit card companies don't do that, but you know they do, and they also charge you 28-29

652
01:06:09,100 --> 01:06:15,600
percent interest, which we have no control over either. But certainly, you know, you will still be

653
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:23,160
able to come in and pay the bill and then not have that fee if you choose. But so if you choose to

654
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:30,140
a credit card, the city is losing thousands of dollars with these various fees that are

655
01:06:30,140 --> 01:06:35,460
being charged and we're paying the credit card company for you and certainly we can't

656
01:06:35,460 --> 01:06:40,700
continue to do that with with this circumstances and that's pretty costome every time you use

657
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:48,000
a credit card at any merchant that merchant charges you that fee they don't pay it right so in that

658
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:52,000
I'd like to make a motion if that's appropriate or you to.

659
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:53,880
That's your recommendation, please.

660
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:55,000
That's the recommendation.

661
01:06:55,160 --> 01:07:13,480
To make a motion that's counsel, that's adjusted to a range state or to have these fees be effective with credit card transactions in the city when credit card payments are used to pay city invoices or city city tax other events.

662
01:07:14,180 --> 01:07:17,260
My question for just clarification on that would be an effective date.

663
01:07:17,260 --> 01:07:20,340
the prior proposal was January 1.

664
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,420
That's the fact that they do like January 1, please.

665
01:07:24,540 --> 01:07:25,880
And this is a resolution as well.

666
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:26,280
Yes.

667
01:07:26,580 --> 01:07:27,080
Be a resolution.

668
01:07:27,540 --> 01:07:28,220
All right.

669
01:07:28,380 --> 01:07:29,140
Sir, second and motion.

670
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:59,380
This is very second up. I'll fairer please in the case. Okay, now this decision. Thank you very much. Thank you. Yes, sir. Good. Please. Also, this important for us to add to that that is strictly just for credit card fees. If you pay with money order or check, you still will not incur those fees. And that is strictly only for those who decide to make their payments with credit cards where those fees will be applicable. So we don't want to make the message known that we're charging fees on other forms of payment.

671
01:07:59,380 --> 01:08:02,780
there are no other bees on traditional forms of payment,

672
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:04,900
which is cash, money orders, and checks.

673
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,900
That is correct only that we don't receive cash,

674
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,300
so it's all other forms of payments,

675
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:13,900
but this should decide to use the credit card

676
01:08:13,900 --> 01:08:15,880
to you absorb the fees.

677
01:08:17,440 --> 01:08:19,660
Okay, we'll good, all right, thank you very much.

678
01:08:20,140 --> 01:08:22,620
Okay, what's next, we made a adjustment in the agenda.

679
01:08:23,260 --> 01:08:25,140
So we're going to have some conversations here

680
01:08:25,140 --> 01:08:27,140
and reference sort of soccer field resolution,

681
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:35,240
right and that's going to be out of number seven. And so the individual, they're going to come

682
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:40,140
to see like you're in a sling here. You're playing soccer so hard, you're fed on them, broken.

683
01:08:41,440 --> 01:08:43,140
Somebody got a real card.

684
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,920
Yeah, I don't care. Probably tend to now, but anyway.

685
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:51,400
Yeah, good to see you, Mariles. The gentleman's good to be back. I think it was April when I was here last.

686
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,460
We'll catch the scust, you know.

687
01:08:53,500 --> 01:08:57,300
I'll put a record, please, could you put your name or because I'm sorry, it's my name is Eric Morrison.

688
01:08:57,700 --> 01:08:59,560
I'm the president of Southern Crescent Soccer Foundation.

689
01:08:59,900 --> 01:09:00,400
Good, thank you.

690
01:09:01,620 --> 01:09:01,780
I'm excited.

691
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:02,580
We are here in April.

692
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,980
I had a discussion about moving forward with how we would look at, you know, the soccer fields

693
01:09:06,980 --> 01:09:09,920
come in part of the new park at Eagles Landing.

694
01:09:11,620 --> 01:09:12,840
We've, we've progressed pretty good.

695
01:09:12,980 --> 01:09:14,100
We've had quite a bit of work done.

696
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,360
We did have a grand opening for our facility in McDonough.

697
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:21,060
and Emma Stroudgjando was there at 99 to put on one heck of a show.

698
01:09:21,700 --> 01:09:22,740
It was really good.

699
01:09:23,420 --> 01:09:25,900
They said it was the largest grand opening they've ever had.

700
01:09:26,300 --> 01:09:29,060
So there's definitely a thirst for soccer in this county.

701
01:09:30,820 --> 01:09:33,920
And the idea of putting two fields of stock rage makes a lot of sense.

702
01:09:34,580 --> 01:09:36,420
There's only on the whole north end of the county.

703
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,000
There's two fields in Evelinwood and there's nothing else here.

704
01:09:39,780 --> 01:09:42,740
So that we can be part of this and to help the city grow

705
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,360
and to help that provide the community.

706
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:52,500
wonderful access is great. So where we progress so far as we know we're going to have a better

707
01:09:52,500 --> 01:09:58,240
feel for the park. You guys are working the background and working on how the park itself

708
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:06,520
is going to go. As far as building the fields, I sent forward the initial proposal we have from a

709
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:10,600
contractor. I will say that I think we need to bid this out further but that initial proposal is

710
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,320
enough for me to provide our grant request.

711
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:19,120
I do think we should get some additional vendors to provide proposals because we do have time.

712
01:10:19,860 --> 01:10:24,060
That vendor is enough for me to provide a grant request and that's what we want to get done

713
01:10:24,060 --> 01:10:24,220
now.

714
01:10:24,220 --> 01:10:25,820
I want to get that grant in before Christmas.

715
01:10:28,140 --> 01:10:32,160
So to do that right now the proposal would be about $600,000.

716
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,780
We'll be able to come up with 200 of that.

717
01:10:36,260 --> 01:10:40,520
So whatever the doubt is left and it may come in at less than six, you know, so we need

718
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,120
We get additional contractors looking at it.

719
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:48,660
But I think it could come in less than six, but whatever the difference is, we're going

720
01:10:48,660 --> 01:10:54,400
to get out from the city or if the city has donors, they'd like to help contribute to build

721
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:55,820
the rest of it.

722
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,900
But it's still going to be a wonderful facility, it's going to be full.

723
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:01,360
I mean, this will be full of kids.

724
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,300
It's going to, all the restaurants are going to be full.

725
01:11:04,500 --> 01:11:07,840
We have tournaments, the hotels are going to be full, we're going to be able to bring teams

726
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,480
in, you know, every time we talked about World Cup 2026,

727
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:12,920
they decided to be drawing on TV.

728
01:11:13,860 --> 01:11:17,440
Well, women's World Cup 2031, which are you being the U.S.

729
01:11:17,440 --> 01:11:21,620
as bigger than the men's, is 2031 right here in Atlanta.

730
01:11:22,460 --> 01:11:25,860
So we were ready to position ourselves ahead as a city

731
01:11:25,860 --> 01:11:28,040
that has some facilities that we can get those teams

732
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:29,460
to come to and train at.

733
01:11:29,740 --> 01:11:32,260
And I think with the proposal we have, we're going to be there.

734
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:35,640
So what are you having for me?

735
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,020
Questions, Council?

736
01:11:39,670 --> 01:11:39,910
Yes, sir.

737
01:11:39,990 --> 01:11:40,450
Go ahead, please.

738
01:11:40,910 --> 01:11:43,550
Not so much of a question, but I do want to add

739
01:11:43,550 --> 01:11:47,130
to what Mr. Erica stated with this being primarily

740
01:11:47,130 --> 01:11:49,450
in District 3 that this is also my

741
01:11:49,450 --> 01:11:53,610
opportunity for the city to stop bridge to be a part of

742
01:11:53,610 --> 01:11:55,370
something great in a movement with

743
01:11:55,890 --> 01:11:59,150
soccer fields and to create the green space and to create

744
01:11:59,150 --> 01:12:01,750
the live work play environment that we all talk about

745
01:12:01,750 --> 01:12:02,830
so much.

746
01:12:03,390 --> 01:12:05,750
And also to foster progress throughout young people,

747
01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:11,190
you so that they can have a place to play and a place to belong in a place to be a part of.

748
01:12:11,510 --> 01:12:17,110
And so I'm excited about the partnership and excited about what we're on the ground, ground

749
01:12:17,110 --> 01:12:24,130
breaking precipice of doing. If we're able to support this event that we have the World Cup

750
01:12:24,130 --> 01:12:29,450
coming right here and I can just find out tonight that the Women's World Cup is coming a few

751
01:12:29,450 --> 01:12:35,410
years, five years after that. And that if we can be one of the players in this, this would definitely

752
01:12:35,410 --> 01:12:40,350
put stock bridge in a strategic place that we could help not only grow the sport but grow

753
01:12:40,350 --> 01:12:44,870
our local economy as well as provide our neighborhoods and our communities and our parents

754
01:12:44,870 --> 01:12:50,750
with something that their kids can be a part of and be proud of. And so I stand I stand in support

755
01:12:50,750 --> 01:12:57,210
of it specifically in District 3 that we can have this great part, this great green space and this

756
01:12:57,210 --> 01:13:04,710
athletic facility. And so I'm definitely a favorite. Okay. You know the comments.

757
01:13:05,650 --> 01:13:06,550
Just me.

758
01:13:09,130 --> 01:13:14,790
Okay, so I do support this sacrificial project. However, the City Council

759
01:13:14,790 --> 01:13:20,130
approved a Parks Master Plan. I think it's a great idea considering the World Cup

760
01:13:20,130 --> 01:13:27,030
is coming to Atlanta. My only concern is we made a financial commitment and entered into a

761
01:13:27,030 --> 01:13:33,130
to make upgrades to our current and existing parks, including the new park.

762
01:13:33,970 --> 01:13:42,630
I do want to ask a couple of questions of Mr. Aaron, because he presented the park's master plan to us.

763
01:13:42,850 --> 01:13:46,970
Mr. Aaron, have a couple of questions for you, please, sir.

764
01:13:50,150 --> 01:13:58,230
I support the new park, but because there's been a mismanagement of $32.9 million

765
01:13:58,230 --> 01:14:02,030
in 2024, that is set a spec on completing

766
01:14:02,030 --> 01:14:04,830
various capital improvement projects.

767
01:14:05,670 --> 01:14:08,970
The over spending of the amphitheater operations in free city events

768
01:14:08,970 --> 01:14:14,530
in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025,

769
01:14:14,810 --> 01:14:17,230
are examples of misguided priorities

770
01:14:17,230 --> 01:14:20,810
and how our capital projects are delayed

771
01:14:20,810 --> 01:14:22,690
due to waste of spending.

772
01:14:23,350 --> 01:14:25,510
The Parks Master Plan has been delayed,

773
01:14:25,510 --> 01:14:42,010
Just as the rollout of the master trail plan, Mr. Aaron, I believe the execution of the park's master plan as was approved is outlined in phases and was approved during the council retreat in March of this year is that correct?

774
01:14:42,770 --> 01:14:47,430
What a park master plan was approved prior to that, but it was discussed in the retreat.

775
01:14:47,430 --> 01:14:55,210
Okay. The park master plan doesn't also include the new park for the Eagle's Landing area.

776
01:14:56,210 --> 01:14:59,770
Yes ma'am, that was included. They were asked to do some designs.

777
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,920
Include some projects for the new part in eagles landing.

778
01:15:04,460 --> 01:15:10,240
Okay, and we paid a consultant for those design concepts.

779
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,480
On TSW, that is a master plan.

780
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:21,800
Okay, what's the status of the rollout of the parts master plan to include the current and existing parts?

781
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:26,500
Because I have two parts in my district that needs to be addressed.

782
01:15:27,140 --> 01:15:34,740
So, they're currently finalizing there was the council agreed to close the transfer station.

783
01:15:35,380 --> 01:15:39,340
And so, we're going to add a new entrance to Memorial Park, an additional parking.

784
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:45,400
So, the transfer station closes and it's scheduled to close in May of 2020-6.

785
01:15:46,300 --> 01:15:48,720
And so, they're currently surveying that property.

786
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:57,060
So, once it closed, then we'll start a project where we'll be at out part of it was being

787
01:15:57,060 --> 01:16:01,560
phase where we're going to do new restaurants at Clark Park along with new pavilions.

788
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:07,420
We're going to do new restaurants at Gardner, Memorial Park, and also redo the entrance

789
01:16:07,420 --> 01:16:13,960
to Memorial Park, and we're also looking at Restaurant at the Trailhead at Rees Creek Trail

790
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:21,220
as part of phase one. And then phase two, we were doing a, it was a green space, I think, at the new

791
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:26,880
Eagles landing, because that was one of the things that were mentioned during the Shores, that they had,

792
01:16:27,300 --> 01:16:33,500
that the residents wanted to see green space in just open areas where people can congregate and play in things of that sort.

793
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:41,800
So there's a whole schedule of items that's included in the master plan projects that have been identified

794
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,920
that would enhance all of the parts.

795
01:16:44,540 --> 01:16:46,520
From pickle balls to open spaces

796
01:16:48,380 --> 01:16:51,180
to tennis courts and things with that nature.

797
01:16:52,180 --> 01:16:52,920
Thank you, sir.

798
01:16:54,800 --> 01:17:00,380
So I know that with this new parts master plan,

799
01:17:00,660 --> 01:17:03,820
it covers all of our parks, including this new park.

800
01:17:04,580 --> 01:17:08,860
What I am concerned about is our existing parks

801
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,580
and the improvements that are needed to those.

802
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:17,500
We are very much aware that the existing parks

803
01:17:17,500 --> 01:17:20,940
have been waiting for several years

804
01:17:20,940 --> 01:17:24,000
for the upgrades or improvements to them.

805
01:17:24,140 --> 01:17:29,160
Picture this at Gardner Park, the swing that people

806
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:34,380
swing on, I believe it's standing or it's being held up

807
01:17:34,380 --> 01:17:35,900
by PVC pipes.

808
01:17:37,260 --> 01:17:40,120
So we need improvements at the existing parks.

809
01:17:40,620 --> 01:17:43,220
There are two parks in my district,

810
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,700
gardener park and Clark Park.

811
01:17:46,420 --> 01:17:50,520
What I don't want is for us to neglect our current parks

812
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,640
and then just get right over and focus on a new park.

813
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,560
I support all of them, which is why I approved

814
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:02,900
the parks master plan with the timeline that you just mentioned.

815
01:18:02,900 --> 01:18:13,280
I have concerns about what's driving this when we already have two parks that we know need improvements and upgrades.

816
01:18:13,700 --> 01:18:25,340
Let's stick with the schedule as has been approved by the council and allow Mr. Aaron to execute the plan.

817
01:18:25,540 --> 01:18:26,900
That's all. Thank you.

818
01:18:26,900 --> 01:18:56,720
I'm going to say this, okay, see, when you have vision and you understand the direction that we're going in 2021 we were discussing the plan for parks in the city long before the parks master plan the city manager made a recommendation that we should put $2 million aside for park improvements in the future to take care of the items that were just described to you.

819
01:18:57,460 --> 01:19:03,200
certainly those items are very important. I hate to see this described as either

820
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:08,500
or scenario because it's not because what really happened is we were going to

821
01:19:08,500 --> 01:19:14,180
put $2 million in the splash to cover parking improvements because there wasn't

822
01:19:14,180 --> 01:19:19,040
a thought at that time that they were going to be a new part. So I spoke up

823
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:24,980
because I saw the vision coming and I said let's make that number $4 million. So

824
01:19:24,980 --> 01:19:30,460
We would have $2 million for a new park in the Eagles landing area of the city to South

825
01:19:30,460 --> 01:19:31,280
side of the city.

826
01:19:32,140 --> 01:19:39,580
So the number was increased from the initial recommendation of $2 million to $4 million to

827
01:19:39,580 --> 01:19:43,820
cover the new park that we're coming forward or improvements that we needed.

828
01:19:44,340 --> 01:19:46,100
That was the discussion that we had.

829
01:19:46,860 --> 01:19:50,380
So understanding that is the understand how we got here.

830
01:19:50,820 --> 01:19:52,660
But then it helped to be an either worse scenario.

831
01:19:52,660 --> 01:19:58,320
I certainly suspect and I certainly support that all the improvements that will be made.

832
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:04,200
I set them in Councilman Thomas and I had many discussions about moving the transfer station

833
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,940
and having that new entrance established.

834
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,440
I was the one that made the motion for the parks master plan.

835
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:19,900
We were on a Zoom call during the pandemic with T.S.W. and we were talking about how to move forward with this.

836
01:20:19,900 --> 01:20:27,840
So what we did was we decided to do a park's master plan, but understand this and Mr. Morrison will tell you this as well.

837
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:33,200
$200,000 is on the table right now, right Mr. Morrison? Let him back, come back to the right dish.

838
01:20:34,380 --> 01:20:44,080
$200,000 is on the table right now, right? Yes, sir. $200,000 grants don't just pop up out of the blue, do they? No. They don't.

839
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:50,040
This is one of the opportunities of a lifetime, and Mr. Morrison is very humble in his

840
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:54,340
statements about what's going on, but you could go see the field and McDonald's today.

841
01:20:54,740 --> 01:20:59,780
The many pits that they did, and we spoke with the Atlanta United people there on the

842
01:20:59,780 --> 01:21:00,660
ground that day.

843
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:06,140
They were very excited about having full-sized fields all over here.

844
01:21:06,140 --> 01:21:14,360
I spoke with a young lady named Lee Van Jakes, who used to play for the New Orleans Saints,

845
01:21:14,540 --> 01:21:18,580
he lives here in Eagles Land and Country Club. She's his daughter. She works for their

846
01:21:18,580 --> 01:21:24,740
Atlanta United. She's very excited about potentially seeing professional level soccer fields

847
01:21:24,740 --> 01:21:31,080
right here in our community. And as I have discussions that we've had with Mr. Morrison is that we

848
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:36,820
fields here, but we don't have a professional level quality fields that need that that would be

849
01:21:36,820 --> 01:21:41,880
the requirement for a world cup or a women's world cup or a men's world cup that would

850
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:47,860
we would be able to fulfill. So understanding where we are now, there's four million dollars

851
01:21:47,860 --> 01:21:53,580
that's being collected through Splos six over the next few years. And like I said initially

852
01:21:53,580 --> 01:21:58,260
there was a two million dollar budget. We increased the budget so that we could have this new part

853
01:21:58,260 --> 01:22:02,620
and some additional green spaces in the city to acquire others by $2 million.

854
01:22:03,220 --> 01:22:08,000
We're asking for $400,000 in this iteration right here.

855
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:13,860
Without that grant, this would be a $600,000 project and $200,000 in additional dollars.

856
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:17,180
We'll come out in the city coffers.

857
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,080
But by approving this and making this a priority,

858
01:22:21,020 --> 01:22:25,100
talk about the schedule and let's say we did approve this.

859
01:22:25,100 --> 01:22:27,180
What would the schedule look like, Mr. Morris?

860
01:22:27,180 --> 01:22:29,980
I mean, the hope is we would break ground in spring.

861
01:22:32,730 --> 01:22:36,250
Once we break gratitude, a month or two and it's done.

862
01:22:37,110 --> 01:22:48,110
Right. So in essence, we basically would have a shovel ready project ready to go and the fields could actually open by the summer time of all went well.

863
01:22:48,330 --> 01:22:58,690
If we take advantage of this opportunity right now with $200,000, which is, you know, it's a third of the project costs would be covered by the Atlanta United.

864
01:22:58,690 --> 01:23:02,490
And then when they're allowing the United partners with you and they're sitting at the table,

865
01:23:02,990 --> 01:23:03,850
they don't just sit there.

866
01:23:03,850 --> 01:23:09,650
They work with you and they'll help you actually promote the facility and to the rest of the community.

867
01:23:10,230 --> 01:23:16,830
Because they're actively talking about their involvement in youth soccer in the area and what that we're bringing to us.

868
01:23:17,770 --> 01:23:21,510
So we work with the Atlanta United in some of our youth programs.

869
01:23:21,750 --> 01:23:23,690
They provide some free clinics for us.

870
01:23:24,390 --> 01:23:26,030
Primarily with their providers funding.

871
01:23:26,890 --> 01:23:28,970
They really helped us with the mini-pitch.

872
01:23:30,150 --> 01:23:32,310
We're currently in negotiation with them.

873
01:23:32,450 --> 01:23:34,210
We also run a free after-schools program.

874
01:23:35,030 --> 01:23:36,550
We're currently in nine schools.

875
01:23:36,710 --> 01:23:38,350
We want to be in 29 by the fall.

876
01:23:38,590 --> 01:23:40,110
We're working with the schools.

877
01:23:42,170 --> 01:23:44,870
And within that, we're working with the land and for additional funding for that, because

878
01:23:44,870 --> 01:23:48,670
nothing, although it's free to the kids, it's not free to administer, as everyone here

879
01:23:48,670 --> 01:23:49,010
knows.

880
01:23:49,570 --> 01:23:50,390
Everything calls money.

881
01:23:52,190 --> 01:23:55,170
So we're trying to find ways to continue to fund that, to continue to grow, to provide

882
01:23:55,170 --> 01:23:57,810
children in the community, you know, opportunities.

883
01:24:00,190 --> 01:24:00,890
You know, but at

884
01:24:00,890 --> 01:24:05,690
late night, they give us a big platform. You know, anybody, anybody

885
01:24:05,690 --> 01:24:10,610
saw what happened at McDonald's, I mean, that blew up. I mean, that

886
01:24:10,610 --> 01:24:14,970
was unbelievable. It just went viral on social media. It was, it was

887
01:24:14,970 --> 01:24:18,430
fantastic. And that's really what they bring. They bring a lot of, they

888
01:24:18,430 --> 01:24:22,010
bring a lot of attention to the community. And, and that's necessary,

889
01:24:22,070 --> 01:24:24,750
because you need that attention, where to get the funding you need, and

890
01:24:24,750 --> 01:24:29,870
to get. Your community excited and then they help us with some of the program. They said they

891
01:24:29,870 --> 01:24:34,210
helped with some of the free clinics and things such as that but they've been wonderful to

892
01:24:34,210 --> 01:24:35,090
work with.

893
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:44,400
Thank you. Now Mr. Emerson, certainly you've been through numerous projects as I

894
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:50,220
city leader right here. I don't think this is an either or scenario. I think that you can carry

895
01:24:50,220 --> 01:24:57,720
the way of fixing the existing parts, because we have a new position coming aboard.

896
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,260
There will manage these projects that will be able to manage the existing parts

897
01:25:01,260 --> 01:25:06,300
improvement at the same time that we do this new project bringing it in. Is that correct?

898
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:13,640
Yes, sir. The biggest thing for us is with that four million that you talked about, it

899
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:18,080
comes in over the next six years. So if we do move forward with this project, we have to

900
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:24,320
seriously about Bonday to get these projects underway and ask council member Barbara said as well

901
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:29,820
going with the park improvement plan because we want to make sure that we stay on target with that.

902
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:36,600
But I believe that with the funding that we do have if we bond we will be able to accomplish all that

903
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:42,240
we decide. So even if we did what the payback basically would be out of the splash program.

904
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:46,940
So basically would be advancing the funding that we already know is coming.

905
01:25:46,940 --> 01:25:52,080
the same thing that we did with the empathy and the same thing that we've done with numerous

906
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:57,940
city projects that we move forward, we paid Walt Stevens roll, we paid Eagles Landon

907
01:25:57,940 --> 01:26:02,920
and several others that we moved along when we started the police department, we took

908
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:04,060
out a bond for that.

909
01:26:04,340 --> 01:26:09,540
But the idea is we didn't take out a bond to be paid out of the general fund, we took out

910
01:26:09,540 --> 01:26:16,180
a bond that would be paid for out of the, out of the splash dollars that we knew were coming.

911
01:26:16,180 --> 01:26:31,120
But at this point right now, certainly, what the issue is right now, there's no money needed today, correct Mr. Morrison, the money is needed when the project moves forward, the commitment is needed today where we would come back to the microphone.

912
01:26:31,820 --> 01:26:33,400
You don't need to $400,000.

913
01:26:33,740 --> 01:26:35,400
That's correct, we need a commitment for it.

914
01:26:35,440 --> 01:26:37,060
You need a commitment for the forward.

915
01:26:37,340 --> 01:26:43,080
Most of the grant is approved and we're approved to begin construction, then of course we'll need to fund in the perfect construction.

916
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:50,540
Right. So today we don't need that today. We need that maybe March April when that just when the fund when the grant has approved

917
01:26:50,540 --> 01:26:57,480
and certainly the Atlanta United want to know that we're serious because they want to commit me from us that we're going to build these fields

918
01:26:57,480 --> 01:27:02,680
in partnership with them and we certainly can do that. Please understand that's

919
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:07,600
six goals and Mr. Emerson, I want you to, as we talk about this too, right?

920
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:13,900
Slot six is being collected at about $700,000 a month. Coming in every single month in

921
01:27:13,900 --> 01:27:20,660
that one penny that you pay 1% sales tax on every dollar you pay, you pay a 1% sales tax that

922
01:27:20,660 --> 01:27:26,820
goes into the Slot six program. So what happens is that money comes in a little bit at a

923
01:27:26,820 --> 01:27:34,480
$700,000 a month, but what are we just going through now? Black Friday, November, we're going through

924
01:27:34,480 --> 01:27:39,980
December. So in November and December, the allotments for those particular funds that could be a million

925
01:27:39,980 --> 01:27:45,180
dollars with the sales that we're seeing because it's not like it's even every single month, it's based

926
01:27:45,180 --> 01:27:52,100
on the sales and we know what happens with the sales in November and in December. So I think in essence,

927
01:27:52,100 --> 01:27:57,120
what we really happen is, every project is not going to be shown already at the same time.

928
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:02,580
The transportation project, first, when we're starting this project, the transfer

929
01:28:02,580 --> 01:28:04,120
station is still going to be open.

930
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:10,100
The transfer station is not going to close into what April you said, Mr. May, is not going

931
01:28:10,100 --> 01:28:10,880
to close to May.

932
01:28:11,220 --> 01:28:16,740
So the fields will be under construction by the time the transfer station closes, all

933
01:28:16,740 --> 01:28:20,860
of that process moves through, we get to the point where we're going to move forward with

934
01:28:20,860 --> 01:28:28,880
So sometimes you've got to make adjustments to the schedule depending upon the logistics on the ground and the logistics on the ground

935
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,560
Tell us right now get the $200,000

936
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:37,940
That's what it tells us to do that's available right now that we won't have to pay because if we do wait

937
01:28:37,940 --> 01:28:44,280
That 200,000 there's no guaranteed it at $200,000 is gonna be on the table because there's communities all over

938
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:50,260
Metro Atlanta. This is a great process right Mr. Morris, and we're we're putting our hat in the table

939
01:28:50,260 --> 01:28:56,840
Right now, so that money's going to be given away because the grant closes at the end of the year, right?

940
01:28:57,060 --> 01:29:01,680
Right, so when the grant closes at the end of the year we can't say oh, we'll go back and get that

941
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:04,040
$200,000 that was on the table.

942
01:29:04,780 --> 01:29:11,200
It won't be on the table because this cycle will be closed and with the economy and everything that we got going

943
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:17,860
Do we want to take a chance on another $200,000 being available six months from now or a year from now?

944
01:29:17,860 --> 01:29:36,400
I think we can juggle all of those balls at the same time when I think we could do this, and understanding that one of the things that we did here is we said we were going to, and the parks master plan that I made the motion for is that we're going to attempt to make sure that we provide these resources in all the community.

945
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:42,300
When I set on this board in 2016, there was no park on the south side of the city.

946
01:29:42,620 --> 01:29:44,640
There's still no park on the south side of the city.

947
01:29:45,140 --> 01:29:50,480
And this is an opportunity for us to put in process apart as the parks,

948
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:56,500
most of the Flint Outland is having a park facility within a mile or two of everybody in the city.

949
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:59,900
Right now, the closest park for me is 15 minutes away.

950
01:30:00,620 --> 01:30:08,500
Which is Memorial Park. I got to get due traffic from Jelterco Road up here. That's how long it takes me to get there. So that's not within a mile.

951
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:17,000
But this part will be very close to within a mile from where I live and the residents who live in district three different, district four and district five.

952
01:30:17,460 --> 01:30:24,880
But residents all over the city will be using the particular part. Sometimes you got to take the vision by the horn and move forward

953
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,920
because this is a visionary opportunity of a lifetime

954
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,680
that the city can seize upon to make it happen.

955
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:32,180
Thank you.

956
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:33,940
Sir, I would like to add though.

957
01:30:34,580 --> 01:30:38,100
If we do accept this opportunity tonight that I would like

958
01:30:38,100 --> 01:30:39,760
to understand what the 10-year agreement

959
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:43,260
make this agreement and other things that may be associated

960
01:30:43,260 --> 01:30:45,140
with the build of this part.

961
01:30:45,420 --> 01:30:48,880
I eat, the stands, the building itself.

962
01:30:50,260 --> 01:30:52,420
So I mean, maybe he can share some light on that.

963
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:54,380
So we understand what that total cost is.

964
01:30:54,380 --> 01:31:00,360
I want to make sure that we that relies on us the fuck this is a soccer field agreement right here

965
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:06,100
This agreement is for the soccer field right now whether we build the rest of it and being out of that

966
01:31:06,480 --> 01:31:10,820
Is up to the city to make sure and that's why we have four million dollars in parking improvements

967
01:31:10,820 --> 01:31:15,380
And we would need to seek other partners in order to build the rest of the park out

968
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:20,920
In phases but when you have 200 thousand dollars sitting on a table to you right now

969
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:24,240
You got to take that 200 thousand dollars sitting on a table to you

970
01:31:24,380 --> 01:31:30,640
to be able to do what we got to do, because we know that we have $4 million dollars coming to us

971
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:35,200
over the next five years in order to complete the project. And as you said,

972
01:31:36,940 --> 01:31:43,380
because, honestly, a lot of these projects could have been done already. You see that the money's

973
01:31:43,380 --> 01:31:48,640
been sitting there, they just didn't have the priority. The issue was, as you have created a new

974
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:52,060
that will actually manage the project, is that correct?

975
01:31:53,060 --> 01:31:56,320
With that analyst on board to be able to manage the project,

976
01:31:56,660 --> 01:31:59,880
instead of sitting here waiting on project one to move forward,

977
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:02,980
when there's nothing going on or nothing going on,

978
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:06,760
we'll be able to work on multiple projects at the same time.

979
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:08,060
Thank you.

980
01:32:10,090 --> 01:32:11,730
All right, could you any other comments?

981
01:32:13,350 --> 01:32:13,910
Go ahead, please.

982
01:32:14,250 --> 01:32:18,010
It's not that I don't support the new part, because I do.

983
01:32:18,010 --> 01:32:27,250
My concern is the mismanagement of $32.9 million in $20.24, and then again, the overspending

984
01:32:27,620 --> 01:32:34,730
of the operations of the amphitheater this year has set us back on capital improvement projects

985
01:32:34,730 --> 01:32:36,290
that we all support.

986
01:32:37,510 --> 01:32:45,270
I believe these plastics, distributions, those funds have already been allocated to other projects.

987
01:32:45,270 --> 01:32:50,310
So if we move this ahead of other capital projects,

988
01:32:51,850 --> 01:32:55,990
when we realize the other projects that we've already

989
01:32:55,990 --> 01:33:00,810
parted us, I'm just concerned about just,

990
01:33:01,130 --> 01:33:05,570
it just seems like we're not really following a plan.

991
01:33:06,690 --> 01:33:11,170
This is really based on what individuals may want

992
01:33:11,170 --> 01:33:12,870
at a certain time.

993
01:33:12,870 --> 01:33:18,070
But we're not following the master plan that we paid for.

994
01:33:18,750 --> 01:33:22,650
And I believe the master parks plan,

995
01:33:23,190 --> 01:33:24,990
Mr. Aaron mentioned it.

996
01:33:25,250 --> 01:33:26,510
The council approved it.

997
01:33:26,930 --> 01:33:30,410
We paid more than $200,000 for that plan.

998
01:33:31,090 --> 01:33:33,990
So are we just paying for plans?

999
01:33:34,030 --> 01:33:35,990
And consultants just to say,

1000
01:33:36,790 --> 01:33:39,610
we got a plan, but we're not going to execute the plan.

1001
01:33:40,210 --> 01:33:41,170
Those are my concerns.

1002
01:33:41,170 --> 01:33:48,410
I know that's plus six already has projects that those funds are allocated for.

1003
01:33:50,300 --> 01:33:51,420
It just makes it complicated.

1004
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:57,920
Now we are reassigning those funds to this project.

1005
01:34:00,220 --> 01:34:10,260
And I also want to know if the council so chooses to support this venture,

1006
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:15,500
When will the two parks in the district that I represent?

1007
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:18,740
When will those improvements be made?

1008
01:34:21,030 --> 01:34:22,050
Those are questions I have.

1009
01:34:22,230 --> 01:34:23,730
If you can answer those, Mr. Eppensen.

1010
01:34:24,490 --> 01:34:26,090
I appreciate it.

1011
01:34:26,810 --> 01:34:27,250
Yes, ma'am.

1012
01:34:27,630 --> 01:34:30,970
And as looking at the plan and as part of the agenda of the budget,

1013
01:34:31,510 --> 01:34:32,810
they actually have a schedule.

1014
01:34:33,470 --> 01:34:37,070
How much money is allocated for this entire plan in regards to

1015
01:34:37,070 --> 01:34:39,510
infrastructures and parts upgrades?

1016
01:34:40,230 --> 01:34:43,890
what was happening is, I guess it was kind of going back and forth in between the years.

1017
01:34:44,730 --> 01:34:47,270
So, and that's another reason that's Council Member Alice Anderson said,

1018
01:34:47,270 --> 01:34:51,990
the importance of bringing in the management analysts, because we was trying to do a whole bunch of different things,

1019
01:34:51,990 --> 01:34:55,050
and as I always say, if you're trying to do everything, you're getting nothing done,

1020
01:34:55,510 --> 01:35:01,670
and I think that's kind of where we add. But with the master plan, with the right people in place,

1021
01:35:01,810 --> 01:35:05,730
we are literally looking at the funds and seeing how much we have available. Do we have to buy

1022
01:35:05,730 --> 01:35:07,810
to start our screen line of some of these projects.

1023
01:35:08,350 --> 01:35:10,710
And right now, we wait for that money to trickle in, as you say,

1024
01:35:10,710 --> 01:35:13,470
it comes in monthly and with most of these projects,

1025
01:35:14,150 --> 01:35:17,130
if you're not phasing them out or have a plan,

1026
01:35:17,630 --> 01:35:20,270
we just sit in on time and money and resources,

1027
01:35:20,670 --> 01:35:24,290
instead of saying, hey, we anticipate in the next six months

1028
01:35:24,290 --> 01:35:25,810
to get $1.2 million.

1029
01:35:26,330 --> 01:35:28,870
That can release get us started with phase one.

1030
01:35:28,930 --> 01:35:31,250
We can walk and chew bubblegum, and the problem is,

1031
01:35:31,490 --> 01:35:35,150
we haven't been proactive in regards to this money trickling in monthly.

1032
01:35:35,150 --> 01:35:43,630
But if we're trying to streamline some things, that's another reason why I say, hey, we have options to maybe bond to expedite a lot of the things that's been in a pipeline.

1033
01:35:44,450 --> 01:35:53,130
So I'm just motivated at the fact that we do have people on the ground now that's paying attention to those projects to ensure these projects get off the ground.

1034
01:35:53,330 --> 01:35:55,630
Because they are badly needed, we have the resources.

1035
01:35:55,630 --> 01:36:01,250
It's not like we don't have the resources, so that's the first great part for my administration

1036
01:36:01,250 --> 01:36:06,590
because we've seen things that people are saying over and over again, it's just time to put things

1037
01:36:06,590 --> 01:36:07,290
of the action.

1038
01:36:08,130 --> 01:36:13,190
So we are screen-line it a lot of these projects as we speak now and we anticipate 2026 to have

1039
01:36:13,190 --> 01:36:14,050
this fight.

1040
01:36:15,730 --> 01:36:22,090
If I may be off for a minute please, again, I support the new part.

1041
01:36:22,730 --> 01:36:29,610
It would be different and very easy for us, for me, to support this and approve this tonight.

1042
01:36:29,890 --> 01:36:37,390
If we had the funds in our hands right now, and not relying on the distributions from

1043
01:36:37,390 --> 01:36:39,450
plus to pay for it.

1044
01:36:39,690 --> 01:36:46,070
But because we don't have the funds in hand right now, that's why I mentioned the 32.9 million

1045
01:36:46,070 --> 01:36:52,070
dollars that was mismanaged, and again the 4.4 million dollars that was spent on the

1046
01:36:52,070 --> 01:37:00,950
with theater in excess of what was budgeted. All of those overspending year after year after

1047
01:37:00,950 --> 01:37:08,430
year, if those funds were available, absolutely, I would be supporting this right now, but

1048
01:37:08,430 --> 01:37:14,010
because we don't, and we're relying on squash distributions every month that's coming in.

1049
01:37:15,350 --> 01:37:21,770
I don't want us to function that way anymore. I don't want to. I just don't, I can't support

1050
01:37:21,770 --> 01:37:28,810
And if we had the funds right now to pay for this, I was supported, but we were waiting

1051
01:37:28,810 --> 01:37:29,970
for funds to do it.

1052
01:37:30,110 --> 01:37:44,530
Right. And I can't support it. And those funds have already been allocated to other projects. So well, what projects is now going to be underfunded because we're moving funds that we anticipate to receive from Splice to this?

1053
01:37:44,830 --> 01:37:59,130
Well, I would like to add in this. This also is on the agenda later on tonight. We're talking about the tab. We're talking about SSD. We got flaws. We got a lot of different other resources coming in. So I believe we can we can get a lot of this done. I just want to make sure that we've been intentional and mapping out a plan.

1054
01:37:59,130 --> 01:38:04,450
a solid plan and report back to you all what that plan looks like as we start mapping this

1055
01:38:04,450 --> 01:38:04,730
out.

1056
01:38:06,150 --> 01:38:10,130
So with the management analyst on board now we are laying out that thing and actually coming

1057
01:38:10,130 --> 01:38:16,230
up with a plan based off the master plan for the parks and what that looks like in funding.

1058
01:38:17,090 --> 01:38:21,610
And these are priorities as you all stated going in in 2026 so we are really really focus

1059
01:38:21,610 --> 01:38:27,030
on getting these things done and also leverage in ourselves for additional funding and come in

1060
01:38:27,030 --> 01:38:30,450
that we have positioned ourselves to start getting a lot of this stuff done because,

1061
01:38:30,510 --> 01:38:34,770
oh, by the way, that's the whole point for establishing the SSD and a lot of these other

1062
01:38:34,770 --> 01:38:40,610
tasks that we have in the pipeline to also help with these projects and things that we have

1063
01:38:40,610 --> 01:38:42,650
been talking about for quite some time now.

1064
01:38:45,190 --> 01:38:46,750
If you're done, Ms. Barber,

1065
01:38:50,620 --> 01:38:51,340
if so, Mr. Barber.

1066
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:58,380
Yes, sir. I don't support bonding for any of this. What I do support is as being more

1067
01:38:58,380 --> 01:39:05,700
responsible and tightening the bills of our spending. That's what I support, not bonding,

1068
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:10,960
because these projects, we just need to be more responsible. That's all.

1069
01:39:11,100 --> 01:39:12,280
This is very great, sir, please.

1070
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:18,860
Yeah, Mr. Ed, Mr. Ed, also to Mr. Malazzi, just wanted to echo some of the things that Mr. Barbara said,

1071
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:26,020
but also to try to come up with some balance. I know her concerns are the existing plan

1072
01:39:26,020 --> 01:39:33,960
And what are we going to do strategically to make sure that that stuff stays on schedule and that we're doing the repairs and things that that are already in place.

1073
01:39:34,540 --> 01:39:44,900
And so my question to you guys to you both is with the opportunity that's presented with us, which is funding that we normally would have to pay for ourselves.

1074
01:39:44,900 --> 01:39:49,700
This is a unique opportunity for us to save the city some money

1075
01:39:49,700 --> 01:39:57,740
But also can we also put something in place to rectify her concerns to make sure that we have

1076
01:39:57,740 --> 01:40:04,660
the existing part plan in place to line out all of the things by a calendar by a set date

1077
01:40:04,660 --> 01:40:10,140
or what we were doing first second third or fifth so that by the end of today

1078
01:40:10,140 --> 01:40:15,560
we can have, I can eat it, eat it too for the sake of the discussion that we're saying.

1079
01:40:16,380 --> 01:40:20,880
It's been stated it's not an either or but we do need to have a plan or what it is we're going

1080
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:27,700
to do. And so, Mr. Eric has already stated, we don't have to have a financial commitment to

1081
01:40:27,700 --> 01:40:34,640
night. Our commitment doesn't have to come until April, 2026. However, in that interim,

1082
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:42,340
we need to do is have everything lined out so that this plan and this commitment also is

1083
01:40:42,340 --> 01:40:48,280
included in the rest of the part plan and commitment so that we have a schedule for

1084
01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:54,380
2006 for what we know what we're doing with all of our parts and to not miss this

1085
01:40:54,380 --> 01:41:00,200
opportunity as well I think that's kind of the next right and that's fair and so what

1086
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:06,440
proposed the night is we will have a full plan and a full schedule before we come back to

1087
01:41:06,440 --> 01:41:10,540
to start solidifying this other stuff so right here. So we can't make that commitment and I can't

1088
01:41:10,540 --> 01:41:16,920
commit that my team will bring back a plan, a solid plan to include funding and phases to address

1089
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:20,920
those things that you have concerns about. We definitely could do that, man. No problem.

1090
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:25,540
So before you go right now, if you talk about a commitment to time frame for that but also I

1091
01:41:25,540 --> 01:41:32,040
tonight. We're looking at a grant to commit before the $2,000 thing it is, right? I

1092
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:36,200
mean $2,000, I believe it is, right? Then we want to make a commitment, even though it's

1093
01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:41,780
not needed till several months from now, but the commitment tonight on that, along with a time

1094
01:41:41,780 --> 01:41:47,200
line that you're going to present to us overall. Yeah, we go. All right, you can make a happy. So if we're

1095
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:53,100
yes, sir. Yeah, let me just say this real quick, and certainly to come into, like, so everybody understands

1096
01:41:53,100 --> 01:41:58,880
The park master plan, which I made the motion for, is 110 million dollar plan.

1097
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:06,780
There's never, there's never any thought that everything was going to be done at the same time in 110 million dollar plan.

1098
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:12,940
It plotted out what we were going to do for the next 20 years.

1099
01:42:13,620 --> 01:42:14,800
That's what it is.

1100
01:42:14,820 --> 01:42:15,700
It's a document.

1101
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:19,040
It's not an execution plan, and that's what Mr.

1102
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:23,520
the city manager is going to have to come up with went to execute what.

1103
01:42:24,140 --> 01:42:30,240
But the plan is $110 million that covers the entire city and a green space

1104
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:36,060
parks plan for the next 20 years. It is not a 20, 20, 26 plan.

1105
01:42:36,980 --> 01:42:41,860
So there's not an indication on what went is going to be what is going to be done when,

1106
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:48,240
but is your job to test the new and the new analysts to come up with the plan to prioritize which

1107
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:53,440
projects will move first and with projects are ready to go first. And certainly none of us

1108
01:42:53,440 --> 01:42:58,700
appear want to sit here and say that we're not going to do the existing parts. So your job

1109
01:42:58,700 --> 01:43:03,600
will be charged when we move forward with this tonight that you will come back to us with the plan

1110
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:10,980
that will be inclusive of this the soccer fields and an execution of the existing parts at the same

1111
01:43:10,980 --> 01:43:18,400
time. Now, part of that would be to include the part of that would be to include the special

1112
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:24,580
service district. The special service district acts to help to be able to bring together funding

1113
01:43:24,580 --> 01:43:30,460
for additional funding to support infrastructure projects. It says one of the things that you can use

1114
01:43:30,460 --> 01:43:37,380
for the special service talk about that a little bit. Yes, as we talked about it in the budget retreat

1115
01:43:37,380 --> 01:43:43,160
and that's another reason why we was trying to get the map approved because we added a

1116
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:48,200
stock bridge lakes or something like that. I have the meeting minutes from the budget retreat

1117
01:43:48,740 --> 01:43:52,220
because that was the only issue with the map at the time was kind of small and then it was

1118
01:43:52,220 --> 01:43:57,940
some areas that was missing and as Mr. Wall and Mr. Ernst said, hey listen, we need to update the map

1119
01:43:57,940 --> 01:44:02,820
and then we need to also adopt the map based off some recommendations that we had got from the budget

1120
01:44:02,820 --> 01:44:07,120
retreat, which we did. We were trying to get that map approved there, the budget retreat

1121
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:11,300
that did not happen. But we were trying to get this map approved before December 31st.

1122
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:15,720
And then thereafter, we would definitely have to set a military for that.

1123
01:44:16,860 --> 01:44:23,720
Based off the amount of the projects amounts that we are anticipated. So once again, we have to do this

1124
01:44:23,720 --> 01:44:28,740
planning anyway, because once we identify how much these projects going to cause, dealing with the

1125
01:44:28,740 --> 01:44:34,100
as the and that's including parks, maintenance and things of that nature, then we have to

1126
01:44:34,100 --> 01:44:37,900
understand what that military would look like for that particular plan and come back here to

1127
01:44:37,900 --> 01:44:42,780
get permission to install that. We already got all the documentations and plans. We already got

1128
01:44:42,780 --> 01:44:47,220
everything from the county in place. They just waiting on us to move the ball forward in regards to

1129
01:44:47,220 --> 01:44:52,580
establishing a map and also setting the military for the SSD and going from there. Yes sir.

1130
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:58,380
We've had plenty of discussion tonight in order to make this happen. Certainly this is the

1131
01:44:58,380 --> 01:44:59,620
opportunity of a lifetime.

1132
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:13,480
You have committed that you were bringing the plan back to us, that you implement these fields, along with the improvements in the part, along with working with your analysts, that's your commitment to us tonight, correct?

1133
01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:14,280
Yes, sir.

1134
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:28,420
I want to make a motion to move forward with the plan has been acclimated in the partnership with the Southern Crescent Soccer Organization to bring two professional quality soccer fields to the city of Stockbridge.

1135
01:45:28,420 --> 01:45:29,460
that's my motion.

1136
01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:30,840
$3,200,000.

1137
01:45:31,480 --> 01:45:34,680
The total little bit of the grant is $200,000.

1138
01:45:34,740 --> 01:45:36,700
Our commitment is $400,000.

1139
01:45:37,820 --> 01:45:39,380
The difference, the difference, and what it is.

1140
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:44,160
The difference might be less than that because as Mr. Morrison has indicated, what's

1141
01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:50,180
going to happen is he's put in the gap, he's got a bid on the document to go into the grant.

1142
01:45:50,440 --> 01:45:55,380
But what's going to happen is it'll be bid out when it's time to actually do the construction

1143
01:45:55,380 --> 01:45:56,880
so that we get the best deal.

1144
01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:01,060
Okay, so, restate your motion and make sure we got it.

1145
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:09,900
Okay, I'm going to let the district representative make the motion because it's his district.

1146
01:46:09,940 --> 01:46:11,440
I don't want to overstep my value.

1147
01:46:11,660 --> 01:46:12,680
Let me let Mr. Barclay.

1148
01:46:13,180 --> 01:46:14,280
Thank you.

1149
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:20,420
So, I would like to make a motion, again, based that's what's been stated from Mr. Morrison as well,

1150
01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:25,780
to show our good faith and support of the Greenspace family part,

1151
01:46:25,780 --> 01:46:31,420
area with the two soccer fields with their commitment of the grant funding of 200,000 and the

1152
01:46:31,420 --> 01:46:38,840
city's commitment of the difference, not to exceed $400,000 with no financial commitment today,

1153
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:46,880
only to be done by the team and the city managers directive to come up with that plan in the near

1154
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:55,760
future. I won't put a time line on it. Well, second, second. Okay, there we go, Mr.

1155
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:06,760
I was hoping in the motion you would make a reference to the existing parks.

1156
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:22,860
And to add the discussion and the follow up directive of the staff to put together a plan of action and timeline for the existing parks and to see what that plan is.

1157
01:47:22,860 --> 01:47:25,640
I thought we did that, but anyway, we did, okay.

1158
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:27,680
Good, Mr. Asian, you're some,

1159
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:28,600
that was a very good question.

1160
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:34,840
Once again, revise, this, this, Vanessa, I'm sorry.

1161
01:47:35,180 --> 01:47:36,820
Howling, you got all that?

1162
01:47:36,820 --> 01:47:38,900
So, okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1163
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:41,820
you got all that, all right, all fair, please indicate.

1164
01:47:42,900 --> 01:47:44,680
Okay, you know what I'm saying, okay, thank you very much.

1165
01:47:45,180 --> 01:47:46,720
All right, fantastic, thank you, sir.

1166
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:48,680
Have your holidays too, by the way, as well.

1167
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:50,380
So what I have, cause what I have next,

1168
01:47:50,380 --> 01:47:55,160
So I have here a second session next, is this the case we're going to second session now?

1169
01:47:56,660 --> 01:48:01,460
Okay, so I got a motion to, I need a motion, well, the most going to second session for legal personnel.

1170
01:48:01,700 --> 01:48:02,620
Hold on, Mayor.

1171
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:05,620
I want to revisit the special districts.

1172
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:11,780
We didn't have a vote on it because we did not have, we did not, I rescinded it my motion.

1173
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:14,680
So let's revisit that and let's go ahead.

1174
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:21,780
because we need that funding in order to provide funding for the city and additional projects.

1175
01:48:21,900 --> 01:48:26,660
And this relates to businesses. It's not residential at all. It's only businesses.

1176
01:48:27,540 --> 01:48:31,830
And for clarification, this is the special district that Mr. Anderson just spoke of.

1177
01:48:33,060 --> 01:48:36,740
Okay. So you're talking about there was item number four council consideration

1178
01:48:36,740 --> 01:48:43,200
to prove to revise copy the SSD special services district map that Mr. Anderson just talked about.

1179
01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:44,900
That should be referred to, yes.

1180
01:48:44,900 --> 01:48:45,760
Mayor of court.

1181
01:48:46,180 --> 01:48:46,980
Stand by, one second.

1182
01:48:47,820 --> 01:48:49,500
So, Mayor for, yes, stand by, one second, please.

1183
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:51,360
Okay, that should be coming back for this case.

1184
01:48:51,500 --> 01:48:53,080
All right, if we need the questions on that.

1185
01:48:53,180 --> 01:48:54,640
Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor, I'm going, please.

1186
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:56,080
Go ahead.

1187
01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:56,820
Ms. Barber.

1188
01:48:58,860 --> 01:49:00,300
We did vote on this.

1189
01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:01,220
We voted.

1190
01:49:02,260 --> 01:49:04,600
Sir, we have a public hearing item.

1191
01:49:04,820 --> 01:49:05,360
What you do?

1192
01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:07,240
That's in my district.

1193
01:49:08,180 --> 01:49:09,780
Well, we're not in the public hearing district.

1194
01:49:09,860 --> 01:49:10,820
We're going to get the public hearing.

1195
01:49:10,860 --> 01:49:13,940
Wait, Mayor for, there are members

1196
01:49:13,940 --> 01:49:21,220
of our community and homeowners who are here for the public hearing item regarding Valley Hill

1197
01:49:21,220 --> 01:49:21,500
Road.

1198
01:49:23,140 --> 01:49:23,640
They're sitting.

1199
01:49:24,100 --> 01:49:24,640
We're good here.

1200
01:49:24,780 --> 01:49:25,060
Oh, wait.

1201
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:32,720
I think it is unfair for us to now after this presentation that has come back a second

1202
01:49:33,440 --> 01:49:37,140
time, then we will go into executive session.

1203
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:43,240
We are just delaying this public hearing and these homeowners are here for you.

1204
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:47,240
Please, let's consider that we have homeowners here.

1205
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:50,020
All right, fine.

1206
01:49:50,980 --> 01:49:53,880
So otherwise, in reference, we're back to the SSD.

1207
01:49:54,780 --> 01:49:54,920
All right.

1208
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:56,660
I do want to address the question.

1209
01:49:56,820 --> 01:49:57,340
Well, answer that.

1210
01:49:57,440 --> 01:49:58,340
We'll take care of this first.

1211
01:49:58,640 --> 01:49:59,780
Okay? Well, get to your point.

1212
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:02,180
So on SSD.

1213
01:50:02,440 --> 01:50:04,700
So the anything else you need to add on SSD here.

1214
01:50:04,900 --> 01:50:05,240
No, no.

1215
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:05,560
All right.

1216
01:50:06,060 --> 01:50:08,280
All right. So once you've got a red, red, that particular

1217
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:12,640
the most on-favorite of the SSD, the Social Services District,

1218
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:14,960
the revised map that he presented earlier.

1219
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:16,200
On-favorite, please indicate.

1220
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:18,100
I'm sorry, excuse me, is there a motion?

1221
01:50:18,260 --> 01:50:19,220
I'm sorry, excuse me, is there a motion?

1222
01:50:19,940 --> 01:50:22,260
So, Moon, so Moon, is there a second?

1223
01:50:22,500 --> 01:50:24,880
Mr. Barbers of Mr. Barbers of Mr. Barbers of Second,

1224
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:27,160
that on-favorite, please, on-favorite, please indicate.

1225
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:29,880
All right, Ms. Barbers, you were new sustained?

1226
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:31,180
I will appellons.

1227
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:34,400
Again, okay, three, three, one, most in pass.

1228
01:50:34,580 --> 01:50:35,240
Three, one, the most in pass.

1229
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:37,440
Now, what's on the agenda next

1230
01:50:37,440 --> 01:50:38,840
was exactly the session.

1231
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:40,580
Mr. Emerson, back, please.

1232
01:50:41,740 --> 01:50:42,920
It was on here on exactly the session.

1233
01:50:43,020 --> 01:50:44,840
I wouldn't sure why exactly the session was moved up

1234
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:46,120
to this particular point.

1235
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:47,420
I think that was a mistake, sir.

1236
01:50:47,460 --> 01:50:49,560
That was from the last time we just in catch it.

1237
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:51,380
So I mean, we find to move it down.

1238
01:50:51,780 --> 01:50:53,480
Or, I mean, that's complete up to you.

1239
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:55,500
Well, let me stand by, please.

1240
01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:58,720
So the attorneys, what was the reason here?

1241
01:50:59,980 --> 01:51:00,980
Come on, come on, Mike, please.

1242
01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:11,940
We didn't necessarily have the Renel Hay

1243
01:51:11,940 --> 01:51:14,260
matter that was in litigation that we were going to be discussing.

1244
01:51:14,260 --> 01:51:17,860
that matter has been rescinded as of this morning, right?

1245
01:51:17,980 --> 01:51:22,480
And then we had the second litigation matter that we were originally having folks

1246
01:51:22,480 --> 01:51:25,780
come in to speak to us that we were trying to get out of here.

1247
01:51:26,260 --> 01:51:29,860
That one has been rescinded and then the other one we.

1248
01:51:31,180 --> 01:51:35,920
So if you would like to please do the public hearing and then on the valley hill

1249
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:40,020
matter and then exactly a session that would be, thank you.

1250
01:51:40,020 --> 01:51:46,300
All right, well, let's see here.

1251
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:51,120
Okay, so eight nine.

1252
01:51:51,500 --> 01:51:56,020
Alrighty, so the second session is going to go.

1253
01:51:58,280 --> 01:51:59,660
Should have to evaluate this.

1254
01:52:01,440 --> 01:52:01,440
Okay,

1255
01:52:05,250 --> 01:52:07,030
that is number eight.

1256
01:52:08,450 --> 01:52:09,410
That's number eight.

1257
01:52:09,750 --> 01:52:10,110
Number nine.

1258
01:52:14,390 --> 01:52:15,990
Well, that's what I'm looking at.

1259
01:52:16,050 --> 01:52:22,010
Number nine is nine and so, and then we go over it.

1260
01:52:22,050 --> 01:52:23,270
Okay, so I have to be after.

1261
01:52:23,410 --> 01:52:24,770
We're going to do that after you.

1262
01:52:25,010 --> 01:52:25,290
So I'm looking.

1263
01:52:25,430 --> 01:52:28,790
I'm looking to put the exactly session after.

1264
01:52:29,430 --> 01:52:29,970
Number nine.

1265
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:58,080
And then if that's the case, because I believe the attorneys need to have someone here for us another issue. So we'll go to the next session after number nine, which will be the valet hill issue. Now, what's going to have to happen? Now, you realize that once we do that, we've got to close out the public hearing, then I got to open it back up again, because all the things are on here for a public hearing. You realize that. So we have to open a public hearing twice. If there, well, there's a several different items here for public hearing.

1266
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:05,760
You got that number eight, nine, 13, 14, 15,

1267
01:53:07,830 --> 01:53:11,050
16 all the way down the 19, all public

1268
01:53:11,050 --> 01:53:11,690
here in items.

1269
01:53:13,210 --> 01:53:17,350
Mayor, I think that we should move these a concession to the

1270
01:53:17,350 --> 01:53:22,150
analyte we usually do, and then do our public hearings according to the schedule

1271
01:53:22,150 --> 01:53:23,350
that we normally do.

1272
01:53:23,450 --> 01:53:24,110
We could do that.

1273
01:53:24,210 --> 01:53:29,470
Just move it like we normally go and then go ahead and move and do our

1274
01:53:29,470 --> 01:53:33,290
public hearing. All right, so that's if that's the case in the

1275
01:53:33,290 --> 01:53:36,950
executive session, they'll come after 27.

1276
01:53:40,010 --> 01:53:40,490
All

1277
01:53:42,570 --> 01:53:44,030
right,

1278
01:53:53,980 --> 01:53:54,460
all right, so we're

1279
01:53:54,460 --> 01:53:55,580
going to public hearing.

1280
01:54:01,530 --> 01:54:04,270

01:54:04,270 --> 01:54:07,970

1292
01:54:54,310 --> 01:54:58,410
After the percent of the recognizes the speaker, he sees how to direct all comments to

1293
01:54:58,410 --> 01:55:02,490

address for the record.

1296
01:55:08,130 --> 01:55:10,570
Please note that these hearings are not a debate.

1297
01:55:10,570 --> 01:55:17,250
It's fair to comply with calls you to be removed from the chamber and the billings by law enforcement if you deviate from these proceedings.

1298
01:55:18,070 --> 01:55:25,350
Other than the applicant, no person may speak more than once, the applicant may reserve part of his or her speaking time as a rebuttal,

1299
01:55:25,730 --> 01:55:31,310
and may speak next and last and may use the entire ten minutes allowed for the pro side of the application.

1300
01:55:32,270 --> 01:55:36,690
The questions are raised, the council may ask the applicant to address questions and or concerns.

1301
01:55:36,690 --> 01:55:41,850
Pursign also call for emotion and a second to the emotion having a necessary discussion.

1302
01:55:42,290 --> 01:55:48,610
If the matter is not table to the Pursign also call for the vote and recommend approval or the now of the request.

1303
01:55:49,430 --> 01:55:54,670
The first item of the special public hearing would be special use permit.

1304
01:55:54,850 --> 01:56:01,610
Number eight, minor ways, special use permit case SP2025104 Council District 4.

1305
01:56:01,610 --> 01:56:08,890
Consideration of a request to a special use permit for a portion of property on 4498 North Henry Boulevard

1306
01:56:09,350 --> 01:56:15,690
to allow for development and operation of the quick serve restaurant and drive through window and or lanes.

1307
01:56:16,350 --> 01:56:25,010
Property owners, City of Starbriz, applicant Royale, THLLC, agent Battle Law, PC, proposed business Tim Wharton's a coffee restaurant.

1308
01:56:25,010 --> 01:56:27,510
It's only just at C2 general commercial.

1309
01:56:28,010 --> 01:56:32,930
The province locate a landlot, a 61 of District 12 within the city's stop bridge city limits.

1310
01:56:33,730 --> 01:56:40,690
And it contains 1.32 acres, the applicant tends to develop only 0.8 acre portion of property.

1311
01:56:40,950 --> 01:56:41,910
Ms. Anderson, please.

1312
01:56:42,470 --> 01:56:42,870
Good evening, Mayor.

1313
01:56:43,010 --> 01:56:43,310
Council.

1314
01:56:43,750 --> 01:56:47,410
This is a project that has been in the works for well over a year.

1315
01:56:47,850 --> 01:56:52,530
One of the original impediments for this project was that the downtown villager overlay district

1316
01:56:52,530 --> 01:56:58,290
prohibited draft through restaurants staff came before council about a year ago and we presented

1317
01:56:58,290 --> 01:57:03,850
an ordinance that council adopted to allow a draft through restaurants with approval of

1318
01:57:03,850 --> 01:57:11,580
the S special use permit from city council. On the screen we have an aerial view of the site

1319
01:57:12,690 --> 01:57:17,350
and it's located in downtown village overlay district along the major corridor to the west

1320
01:57:17,350 --> 01:57:21,710
is the bridge, village shopping plows, and to the south, or miss one, or chicken and biscuits.

1321
01:57:22,870 --> 01:57:31,730
And the reserve, the flow of site plans are on the screen now.

1322
01:57:32,830 --> 01:57:38,910
For pedestrian and vehicle movement, I'll separate 80A ramps, and south walk in the eastern leading to the right away.

1323
01:57:40,270 --> 01:57:45,210
Access from North Henry Boulevard, and the planning includes a monument sign,

1324
01:57:45,710 --> 01:57:52,050
Front Park and the screen dumps there were overall the site to meet the downtown buildings overlays standards for layout and connectivity

1325
01:57:53,930 --> 01:57:54,830
Here's another

1326
01:57:55,990 --> 01:57:57,530
view of the map

1327
01:57:57,530 --> 01:57:59,450
of the property on the city of Stockbridge map

1328
01:58:02,940 --> 01:58:08,140
Here is proof that the signs were posted on November the 5th and November the 25th and November the 25th with the legal ads

1329
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:19,220
Here's the city of Stockbridge zoning out there as you can see by the star and the pinkish color that it's compatible with the surrounding zoning

1330
01:58:21,170 --> 01:58:27,050
There's a city of Stagrad, a future land use map indicated by the property, it's indicated

1331
01:58:27,050 --> 01:58:30,930
by the star and you can see it's surrounded by the lavender, which means it's compatible

1332
01:58:30,930 --> 01:58:33,370
with the surrounding land use.

1333
01:58:34,570 --> 01:58:39,130
So basically, I'm not going to go through our list and just going to sum it up, the applicant is requesting

1334
01:58:39,130 --> 01:58:44,890
a special use permit from City Council to develop a Tim Horton's restaurant.

1335
01:58:46,090 --> 01:58:50,530
The applicant can receive a approval from the Planning Commission on December 2nd

1336
01:58:50,530 --> 01:58:53,090
staff recommends approval of this project.

1337
01:58:55,370 --> 01:58:56,910
Okay, listen, this is battle group.

1338
01:58:56,950 --> 01:58:59,910
I don't see Michelle, okay, there we go.

1339
01:59:00,290 --> 01:59:01,390
All right, thank you, this year.

1340
01:59:01,530 --> 01:59:04,010
Okay, yep, yeah, no questions, what's the question?

1341
01:59:04,510 --> 01:59:07,530
All right, sir, if you want to represent your

1342
01:59:07,530 --> 01:59:09,390
the turning peer representing the client.

1343
01:59:14,660 --> 01:59:16,360
Good evening, Mr. Mayor, council members.

1344
01:59:16,480 --> 01:59:17,200
My name is Josh Mahoney.

1345
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:19,820
I'm an attorney at Battle all PC, 36562.

1346
01:59:19,820 --> 01:59:21,580
Have a shame at North Lake in Tucker, Georgia.

1347
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:23,960
I'm here this evening on behalf of the applicant

1348
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:29,360
to discuss this. But what's really an economic development opportunity for the city of stock bridge

1349
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:34,920
is coming to you in the form of a special use permit this evening. A special use permit will allow

1350
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:41,640
for a Tim Horton's. Tim Horton's coffee shop here at 4498 North Henry's just a little bit down

1351
01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:49,280
the road here. And what I'd like to focus on this evening is really the kind of value that this

1352
01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:55,040
bring to the city. As you all know, this property is currently owned by the city of Stockbridge

1353
01:59:55,500 --> 01:59:59,980
and from my client to move forward with this development would have to purchase the property or

1354
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:05,940
This is Lisa from the city. So we're talking about some immediate funds for the city, either in the

1355
02:00:05,940 --> 02:00:14,120
person's sale or at least however you're going about it. As well as a new, a new business in the city of

1356
02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:25,700
stockbridge contributing to its taxes, as well as offering up a couple new jobs. And doing this with a property that

1357
02:00:25,700 --> 02:00:31,680
that vacant for almost 20 years. We've got existing curb cuts here so it's ready to be used

1358
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:37,980
and it's just been sitting since about 2006 when I don't know the, there was another business

1359
02:00:37,980 --> 02:00:42,900
there that was demolished around that time but it's just been waiting. So now we're looking to

1360
02:00:42,900 --> 02:00:49,340
reactivate that site and get it up and running and contributing to this city's economy.

1361
02:00:52,500 --> 02:00:55,940
The great, the great part about this plan is that you can do this, you're going to accomplish this

1362
02:00:55,940 --> 02:01:00,940
activation in a way that advances the city's vision in its comprehensive plan.

1363
02:01:02,740 --> 02:01:05,180
That today told me or excuse me.

1364
02:01:07,040 --> 02:01:13,360
He laid out that this is in conformity with the city's plan.

1365
02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:18,180
We're bringing a neighborhood scale business toward advancing that plan,

1366
02:01:18,460 --> 02:01:21,860
bringing us a little bit closer, even as just one step, a little bit closer

1367
02:01:21,860 --> 02:01:24,680
to reaching the city's vision there.

1368
02:01:25,200 --> 02:01:29,740
We've got C2 zoning on the ground already where full compliance and full conformity with that.

1369
02:01:30,180 --> 02:01:35,280
The only thing we need the special use permit for is the drive-through portion of this business.

1370
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:36,680
Which is great.

1371
02:01:36,760 --> 02:01:41,940
There are other drive-through businesses in the area already, just south of the property.

1372
02:01:42,160 --> 02:01:44,900
You've got Mrs. Winters and I think a sonic is still over there.

1373
02:01:45,620 --> 02:01:48,360
So you've got, we're not introducing anything new here.

1374
02:01:48,580 --> 02:01:52,300
This is all there already, so no surprises.

1375
02:01:53,240 --> 02:02:01,180
another part that works for that is that there's no residential zoning immediately adjacent to the property that my client would be looking to develop.

1376
02:02:02,100 --> 02:02:08,420
So we wouldn't be bothering anybody, we wouldn't be, you know, being a nuisance to any residents or anything like that.

1377
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:15,960
And then we've also got a pretty logical traffic flow coming off of North Henry Boulevard.

1378
02:02:17,120 --> 02:02:21,060
You've got a, as you come in, you've got a one way traffic flow counterclockwise.

1379
02:02:21,060 --> 02:02:28,620
That's going to bring you through the drive through and back out onto North Henry Boulevard or if you want to sit in chat with some friends for a while

1380
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:29,920
It'll

1381
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:34,800
Naturally dump you into a parking spot. We've got 24 parking spaces

1382
02:02:34,800 --> 02:02:41,480
Per the code so you'll come in hit a spot back out and head right back out onto North Henry Boulevard

1383
02:02:41,480 --> 02:02:42,840
real easy

1384
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:49,200
We've got enough space to stack cars if there's a line about eight cars

1385
02:02:49,200 --> 02:02:54,640
So we don't anticipate any traffic congestion or anything like that coming from this from this business

1386
02:02:57,110 --> 02:03:02,630
But with that, I will ask that you all vote this evening to approve this application

1387
02:03:02,630 --> 02:03:04,070
We've got

1388
02:03:04,070 --> 02:03:06,510
Recommendations are approval from the planning staff as well as a planning commission

1389
02:03:06,510 --> 02:03:08,950
So I hope that you can vote accordingly

1390
02:03:10,170 --> 02:03:13,630
Really quick. Yeah, I was just saying we might sit here. Yeah real quick

1391
02:03:14,250 --> 02:03:22,770
So Mr. White-Honey, what we understand here is that Tim Horton's is a direct competitor for Starbucks and seven brew and those areas.

1392
02:03:22,970 --> 02:03:27,190
We wonder why there had never been a Starbucks here, but we don't decide winners and losers here.

1393
02:03:27,690 --> 02:03:32,270
We decide whether you have an opportunity with a similar project like yours.

1394
02:03:32,750 --> 02:03:35,870
Certainly the building that you see there is very attractive.

1395
02:03:36,230 --> 02:03:39,770
I think Mr. Anderson, we're going to get break, we're going to get some breaks.

1396
02:03:39,770 --> 02:03:44,270
Sorry, we're going to get 100% we're going to, how am I, how am I brick, we get at least

1397
02:03:44,270 --> 02:03:50,730
75% the least 75% brick. So it's going to be a nicely designed and then again, guess

1398
02:03:50,730 --> 02:03:55,110
what, what happens is right, seven brew comes and you come, then what, Starbucks looks

1399
02:03:55,110 --> 02:03:59,150
over the corner and say, wait a minute, we need to be over there. That's how economic development

1400
02:03:59,150 --> 02:04:04,090
takes place. So certainly, I want to make sure that whatever you do is that you're consistent

1401
02:04:04,090 --> 02:04:12,950
what we got going on here and the quality is represented and that we move forward with the project

1402
02:04:12,950 --> 02:04:20,950
and keeping what we have going on in the area. The monument side is very attractive and that

1403
02:04:20,950 --> 02:04:27,850
enhances the area as well. Correct. Yes. Yes. The monument side will enhance the area. Yes.

1404
02:04:30,210 --> 02:04:35,450
Yes, we recommend approval with conditions that I'd like to read the conditions into the record.

1405
02:04:35,670 --> 02:04:36,430
Go right, please.

1419
02:05:49,570 --> 02:05:53,410
what they got to ask them glass on the front. So we want to want to

1420

02:06:30,790 --> 02:06:33,410
the internal dryways should be a minimum of 24 feet wide

1433
02:06:33,410 --> 02:06:38,030
and then drive through Langell to accommodate a minimum stacking capacity of eight vehicles.

1434
02:06:38,890 --> 02:06:42,950

install a sidewalk connections and ADA, accessible ramps linking the building to building

1436

interest to the existing public sidewalk along North Henry Boulevard, consistent with the downtown

1437
02:06:53,770 --> 02:06:59,110
village overlay district requirements. Condition number five has to do with landscaping and

1438

Our mechanical equipment transforms and refuse aero Shelby screen from the public view

1441
02:07:15,070 --> 02:07:17,730
using materials consistent with the principle structure.

1442
02:07:18,570 --> 02:07:22,410

1447
02:07:44,500 --> 02:07:45,580
That's it.

1448
02:07:45,760 --> 02:07:50,720
Yeah, go ahead, sir. No, North and River Boulevard is in the highway corridor plane, right?

1449
02:07:50,720 --> 02:08:00,580
down town village. The existing sidewalk is five feet. Our goal is to have a ten-foot multi-use

1450
02:08:01,660 --> 02:08:07,040
pan rock query roll ends right there where the business starts at. And we're trying to get

1451
02:08:07,040 --> 02:08:12,940
to the amphitheater. This connection is a brand new bill from the ground up. There need to be a ten-foot

1452
02:08:12,940 --> 02:08:19,540
sidewalk in front of it. It needs to be a ten-foot sidewalk along their frontage, which is required by

1453
02:08:19,540 --> 02:08:25,360
highway overlay corridor so that the next phase we're trying to get to the

1454
02:08:25,360 --> 02:08:29,680
amphitheater in city hall we've got a project coming up I hope with the rest of

1455
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:35,000
it from North Least Street to East Atlanta Road being widened. Now the highway

1456
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:39,980
corridor plan requires a 10 foot multi-use path along North and Reboot of

1457
02:08:39,980 --> 02:08:49,520
art and all major highways. This is a major highway so that needs to be

1458
02:08:49,520 --> 02:08:55,620
I know, but it's the highlight corridor plan run the parkway corridor runs right through there

1459
02:08:55,620 --> 02:08:59,180
Okay, there's a part of our plan to establish ten foot multi-use pass

1460
02:08:59,640 --> 02:09:04,340
So that people can ride their bike and all of that you Josh Michelle knows

1461
02:09:04,340 --> 02:09:05,460
She knows

1462
02:09:05,460 --> 02:09:09,840
This is what we do. We want to make sure that there's a wide side walk there a new side

1463
02:09:09,840 --> 02:09:12,220
Well, this is new construction. We don't want to old

1464
02:09:12,220 --> 02:09:17,820
Second hand side walk out there. We want the ten foot path and then the next business to come along

1465
02:09:17,820 --> 02:09:23,240
We want that because we want to be able to get all the way to East Atlanta road where the 10 foot pass are right now

1466
02:09:23,240 --> 02:09:26,700
Well, let me ask you this is there can it be both or not going to have one

1467
02:09:27,100 --> 02:09:30,760
Is it downtown part of the downtown piece or part of the highway?

1468
02:09:31,180 --> 02:09:32,580
It was one or the other or is it both?

1469
02:09:33,620 --> 02:09:39,120
It's in the downtown but this the the requirements are similar now for so

1470
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:43,540
The parkway corridor covers the whole city and every major highway

1471
02:09:45,760 --> 02:09:53,940
So, based on the site plan, they may be able to expand the temp feed on the soil, but

1472
02:09:55,890 --> 02:09:58,590
there will have to make how to reconfigure the site plan.

1473
02:09:59,070 --> 02:10:00,870
Five feet is not going to make them much of difference.

1474
02:10:01,110 --> 02:10:01,710
Come on now.

1475
02:10:02,330 --> 02:10:02,810
They're right.

1476
02:10:02,890 --> 02:10:08,210
The right way is right there, so we'll look into the councilmember.

1477
02:10:08,970 --> 02:10:10,010
That'll be a condition.

1478
02:10:11,490 --> 02:10:12,190
Michelle knows.

1479
02:10:12,770 --> 02:10:15,470
Yeah, I'm trying to, I'm just trying to read the site plan right now to see if

1480
02:10:15,470 --> 02:10:18,170
they've accounted for it already,

1481
02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:26,080
off the work with my engineer to confirm that this can happen,

1482
02:10:27,080 --> 02:10:31,080
but I think you're right, maybe able to make it work, but it might be a little tight.

1483
02:10:32,620 --> 02:10:36,960
I need to do eight foot right there, where it's a little tight, and then do 10 the rest of it,

1484
02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:41,320
but we want to why it's so well, right there. I need to be able to do what I serve,

1485
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:44,200
do check that out and have that in part of the recommendation.

1486
02:10:48,860 --> 02:10:50,640
Let's do it. You're good with that.

1487
02:10:51,940 --> 02:10:56,220
I was reading this and talking, can you repeat exactly what you said so I can make sure.

1488
02:10:56,580 --> 02:10:58,140
I'll ask this out then, repeat it.

1489
02:10:58,140 --> 02:10:59,700
Are you good with this, sir?

1490
02:10:59,940 --> 02:11:04,600
The sidewalk, the tent, or the, you said, eight foot, and some, it's a minimum eight foot.

1491
02:11:04,660 --> 02:11:09,520
A minimum eight foot, ten foot requirement, if it's the tight area there can be eight, but

1492
02:11:09,520 --> 02:11:12,120
it needs to be ten for the majority of it.

1493
02:11:12,460 --> 02:11:12,540
Yes.

1494
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:13,740
All right, thank you.

1495
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:17,000
So, Ms. Holliday, Ms. Holliday, you have that, ma'am?

1496
02:11:21,350 --> 02:11:23,090
It's only additional one

1497
02:11:28,950 --> 02:11:34,450
that the front is

1498
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:41,040
counting anything else is decorative

1499
02:11:41,040 --> 02:11:45,340
street lights require right there we go we we've got to ask for it all the decorative

1500
02:11:45,340 --> 02:11:50,850
street lights are the they require right there let's deal that's what I thought we

1501
02:11:50,850 --> 02:11:55,390
updated the color to include decorative street lights I mean we can add that's a

1502
02:11:55,390 --> 02:11:59,910
condition along the front is okay decorative street lights to make it look nice

1503
02:11:59,910 --> 02:12:04,830
in the middle polls with the candles at the top.

1504
02:12:04,990 --> 02:12:06,470
Is this along the front?

1505
02:12:06,470 --> 02:12:07,770
It's just a little longer on the front.

1506
02:12:07,970 --> 02:12:09,370
We've got down or facing lights.

1507
02:12:09,390 --> 02:12:09,830
Right.

1508
02:12:09,830 --> 02:12:11,030
In what are you talking about?

1509
02:12:11,070 --> 02:12:12,510
For the street, you know?

1510
02:12:12,810 --> 02:12:13,710
How many?

1511
02:12:13,830 --> 02:12:15,910
Is there a regulation for changing that?

1512
02:12:17,890 --> 02:12:20,330
There's not a specific regulation for changing to how many.

1513
02:12:22,270 --> 02:12:23,610
But we'll figure that out.

1514
02:12:23,730 --> 02:12:25,350
So it has maybe two or three.

1515
02:12:25,490 --> 02:12:27,830
I mean, it has the match that holds it already out.

1516
02:12:27,830 --> 02:12:33,810
About four of them maybe like every 20 feet or something or whatever or normal what's the normal distance

1517
02:12:33,810 --> 02:12:36,990
You know to have that right what is it a supposed to consider normal

1518
02:12:39,310 --> 02:12:44,890
Might because getting a mic pleaser. I mean only that beer in the way between 15 and 100 feet apart

1519
02:12:44,890 --> 02:12:49,350
All depends on no we we're not talking about real street like we're talking about the poll

1520
02:12:49,350 --> 02:12:54,670
We're talking about the little black ones with the little in the top like a long Eastern land

1521
02:12:54,670 --> 02:12:57,610
Yeah, the decorative street like four would be cool

1522
02:13:07,030 --> 02:13:11,210
I don't want to spend too much of my clients money without them knowing about this.

1523
02:13:11,610 --> 02:13:16,130
So between the sidewalk and the lights, I would feel more comfortable if I can chat with

1524
02:13:16,130 --> 02:13:18,230
them, make sure they're on board with that.

1525
02:13:18,450 --> 02:13:20,230
If that means we have to defer it.

1526
02:13:20,230 --> 02:13:23,330
I'm going to call Michelle on the phone and she's going to agree to it.

1527
02:13:23,570 --> 02:13:29,070
Well, I got to call my client Michelle. Michelle's my boss, but she can't say yes or no to this.

1528
02:13:30,560 --> 02:13:31,920
We're making a condition.

1529
02:13:33,300 --> 02:13:33,780
I'm sorry.

1530
02:13:34,200 --> 02:13:35,580
We're going to make it a condition.

1531
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:36,420
I understand.

1532
02:13:37,060 --> 02:13:38,780
So it's part of the condition.

1533
02:13:38,960 --> 02:13:42,060
Are you going to do it anyways, then then go ahead and put it on?

1534
02:13:42,640 --> 02:13:46,700
And I don't think I don't think we have a problem.

1535
02:13:47,200 --> 02:13:49,940
It's what we want for our downtown and for...

1536
02:13:49,940 --> 02:13:50,960
So I understand.

1537
02:13:50,960 --> 02:13:52,240
I understand.

1538
02:13:52,240 --> 02:13:52,360
I understand.

1539
02:13:52,840 --> 02:13:55,300
My client has to make sure that the numbers will work, though.

1540
02:13:55,300 --> 02:13:59,040
And right now they have an account for the sidewalk and lights, so they would have to

1541
02:13:59,040 --> 02:13:59,860
just adjust their numbers.

1542
02:14:00,840 --> 02:14:02,660
I don't know what that looks like for them.

1543
02:14:02,900 --> 02:14:06,260
I don't know how tight this deal is for them.

1544
02:14:07,040 --> 02:14:08,220
So that's all I'm saying.

1545
02:14:08,260 --> 02:14:09,860
But if you're going to do it anyways, regardless.

1546
02:14:11,300 --> 02:14:11,400
Yeah.

1547
02:14:12,560 --> 02:14:13,140
I'm out.

1548
02:14:13,200 --> 02:14:14,320
I'll prove it with those conditions.

1549
02:14:15,640 --> 02:14:17,440
I don't think it will.

1550
02:14:17,440 --> 02:14:24,220
I mean, the sidewalks are non-negotiable for us in general, and that's for any development

1551
02:14:24,220 --> 02:14:31,660
because we're trying to tie on a master plan and we have a plan in place.

1552
02:14:31,660 --> 02:14:32,440
I understand.

1553
02:14:33,160 --> 02:14:33,600
For connectivity.

1554
02:14:34,460 --> 02:14:35,700
Miss Alden, you have all that?

1555
02:14:36,380 --> 02:14:36,740
All right.

1556
02:14:37,060 --> 02:14:37,880
Ryan, you good?

1557
02:14:38,120 --> 02:14:38,320
Yeah.

1558
02:14:39,020 --> 02:14:39,240
All right.

1559
02:14:39,340 --> 02:14:39,700
What else?

1560
02:14:41,400 --> 02:14:42,460
That's it.

1561
02:14:44,060 --> 02:14:44,260
Okay.

1562
02:14:44,260 --> 02:14:47,340
It's a public hearing, so I like to open this up.

1563
02:14:47,520 --> 02:14:50,700
So anybody on my left, anybody that's against this particular project,

1564
02:14:51,460 --> 02:14:55,180
comments against it on my very left, in a middle,

1565
02:14:55,260 --> 02:14:57,240
in ways to get the project in the middle.

1566
02:14:58,100 --> 02:14:59,940
I fall right anybody against this particular project.

1567
02:15:00,820 --> 02:15:21,300
Anybody? This will come as for the project. I'm a far left. Anybody in the middle? For the project in the middle here? Anybody in the far right? You know, no one to guess, no one to, four, close that out. So council, and that note with all the recommendations, the digital conditions, any emotion to approve this project, please.

1568
02:15:21,300 --> 02:15:28,240
Therefore, this is the district that I am duly elected to represent. Okay, fine. I like to speak to this item

1569
02:15:29,300 --> 02:15:32,720
Since it is in my district. Okay

1570
02:15:32,720 --> 02:15:37,200
Mr. Anderson, is this the area? I believe that you are a

1571
02:15:37,680 --> 02:15:42,640
Is this the land that the you are a yes? Yes, it's okay. I just wanted to remember

1572
02:15:42,640 --> 02:15:48,980
Okay, I do support this project and thank you sir for your presentation

1573
02:15:48,980 --> 02:15:55,320
I had a question about the access point, or entrance way, into this draw-through.

1574
02:15:57,480 --> 02:16:00,720
Are you able to make your picture larger

1575
02:16:06,090 --> 02:16:09,610
to blow up the site plan map?

1576
02:16:13,510 --> 02:16:14,390
Let's see.

1577
02:16:15,510 --> 02:16:16,590
That's as large as you can get.

1578
02:16:17,150 --> 02:16:17,450
Yes.

1579
02:16:19,230 --> 02:16:23,370
So, the entrance way is right off of North Henry.

1580
02:16:23,370 --> 02:16:33,970
So, it's kind of at an angle if someone who is coming off a rock-query road and turning left onto North Henry,

1581
02:16:35,500 --> 02:16:40,620
they'd have to make a quick right in the entrance here.

1582
02:16:41,440 --> 02:16:49,920
I can't tell, but once you access the entranceway, what is the length?

1583
02:16:52,060 --> 02:16:58,980
The entrance point all the way up to, I guess, the drive through speakers or the way they placed their order.

1584
02:16:59,180 --> 02:17:01,320
We're requiring the width to be 24 feet.

1585
02:17:01,500 --> 02:17:02,340
24 feet?

1586
02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:04,080
Okay.

1587
02:17:04,940 --> 02:17:10,020
So then, where would the drive through window be for people to pick up their order?

1588
02:17:10,320 --> 02:17:15,720
So they have a lane where they can vet where eight cars can queue.

1589
02:17:15,720 --> 02:17:22,000
It's not a good illustration, but there is a lane for at least eight cars can be there.

1590
02:17:22,220 --> 02:17:23,640
I see the arrows.

1591
02:17:26,100 --> 02:17:28,160
So I can't really tell.

1592
02:17:28,360 --> 02:17:31,400
I mean, and it's, and would have been 24 feet wide if they have to.

1593
02:17:31,520 --> 02:17:32,820
They can't pull over to decide.

1594
02:17:33,800 --> 02:17:40,290
But then I'm going to try to get out of that question, sir.

1595
02:17:43,050 --> 02:17:47,930
Oh, because I'm just concerned about maybe, you know, they're being a backup.

1596
02:17:48,750 --> 02:17:54,350
or some type of bottleneck. I'm concerned about the bottleneck along North Henry Boulevard.

1597
02:17:54,970 --> 02:17:59,490
Sure. So what we've got here is the access point off of North Henry Boulevard.

1598
02:18:00,130 --> 02:18:01,730
You could come in through, can you see my cursor?

1599
02:18:02,130 --> 02:18:03,010
No, got to go ahead.

1600
02:18:03,190 --> 02:18:09,290
But you come along this lane here, which turns into, this is one way.

1601
02:18:09,550 --> 02:18:13,690
You've got double lanes here that loop around and do a single lane.

1602
02:18:15,210 --> 02:18:21,690
It's my understanding, I think the speakers are out this way, and then you've got your window over on this side.

1603
02:18:22,570 --> 02:18:23,210
That's what I'm doing.

1604
02:18:23,210 --> 02:18:29,130
Yeah, you have enough room here to queue eight cars so that folks are not backing out on to North Henry Boulevard.

1605
02:18:29,570 --> 02:18:40,650
There's quite a distance here for folks to line up and then even coming down this way, it'll pull your right back out into the exit lane so you can get right out of line when you're done.

1606
02:18:41,470 --> 02:18:51,570
Okay, so anyone who is trying to turn left out of that access point, it's got to be very difficult.

1607
02:18:51,950 --> 02:18:57,030
So are you all just making it a right turn only?

1608
02:18:57,270 --> 02:18:58,570
This plan has full access.

1609
02:18:59,030 --> 02:19:00,530
So right now you can go right or left.

1610
02:19:03,110 --> 02:19:05,170
I am concerned about the safety of that.

1611
02:19:05,810 --> 02:19:11,010
Considering the amount of traffic, someone who would turn left out of there.

1612
02:19:14,050 --> 02:19:22,370
Okay, so I don't know if it's at this point in Mr. Anderson that we add a condition that there's only be a right turn

1613
02:19:24,010 --> 02:19:25,210
out of

1614
02:19:25,210 --> 02:19:26,230
the

1615
02:19:27,070 --> 02:19:33,450
Drive lab this establishment right turn only it's been is it been vetted by

1616
02:19:33,450 --> 02:19:38,130
House engineer in our transportation person and

1617
02:19:38,130 --> 02:19:47,410
the traffic study and G dot that this is safe they did I mean it was a prove okay can you

1618
02:19:47,410 --> 02:19:54,610
show me where that is where the our study is in the document that you gave us maybe not in here

1619
02:19:54,610 --> 02:20:01,310
that's the case this far maybe not in here but doing the due diligence project process

1620
02:20:02,210 --> 02:20:07,950
I'll still linger there I looked at it most of the way and he approved it so

1621
02:20:11,500 --> 02:20:13,920
It's not in this step and it's a report,

1622
02:20:16,680 --> 02:20:21,420
but the recommendations that we include as it relates to a traffic flow

1623
02:20:21,420 --> 02:20:26,380
were recommendations based on coming from our civil engineering Mr. Mark Willis.

1624
02:20:27,200 --> 02:20:36,440
So we feel like these conditions will address that with address those concerns, but I mean basically anywhere on North Indian Boulevard

1625
02:20:36,440 --> 02:20:38,720
you can you can turn left if you're coming out right.

1626
02:20:39,380 --> 02:20:45,720
So, even like coming out of the amphitheater park, a lot of coming out from court, people do it all the time.

1627
02:20:48,060 --> 02:20:52,260
So, but I think that would have to be a g-dot requirement.

1628
02:20:52,580 --> 02:20:58,220
I don't know if we have the authority to regulate that type of access.

1629
02:20:58,760 --> 02:21:01,280
I think this would have to come from the state.

1630
02:21:06,930 --> 02:21:11,410
Require that there only be a right turn out of this establishment.

1631
02:21:12,890 --> 02:21:21,990
I would have to research that council member, but if we did that, we would be limiting that restaurant.

1632
02:21:22,690 --> 02:21:26,590
While limiting no other business on Northeastern Boulevard, that would be only somebody.

1633
02:21:27,010 --> 02:21:30,370
Only restaurants subjected to those criteria to that criteria.

1634
02:21:30,370 --> 02:21:49,090
Well, this is the only establishment that is closest to the red light, and considering the traffic volume in that area, I believe it may poems a safety concern for anyone who might try to turn left.

1635
02:21:49,090 --> 02:21:51,190
I understand. Yes.

1636
02:21:51,230 --> 02:21:58,890
Can we please? Sounds like the council supports this venture as well. I support it.

1637
02:21:59,430 --> 02:22:01,310
But I have to think in terms of safety.

1638
02:22:01,750 --> 02:22:11,650
Otherwise, if we can add maybe in the condition that they explore or you do more research on the safety aspect of the traffic.

1639
02:22:11,650 --> 02:22:19,090
Yes, that's we'll be glad to do to research that some more to look into that more in debt.

1640
02:22:19,090 --> 02:22:20,770
Thank you, sir.

1641
02:22:20,790 --> 02:22:21,170
Man.

1642
02:22:21,490 --> 02:22:22,750
Yes, ma'am.

1643
02:22:22,910 --> 02:22:26,650
I had something similar in my district.

1644
02:22:27,170 --> 02:22:29,790
We can't do this estate road.

1645
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:41,260
It's regulated by G dot and like you said, there are other stores, other commercial facilities, buildings that you don't have, that it doesn't apply to.

1646
02:22:41,540 --> 02:22:48,000
Interesting enough, is there a light going to be right there? Is there a light right there or is it?

1647
02:22:48,560 --> 02:22:51,120
It's out for a rock quarry. How, how.

1648
02:22:52,180 --> 02:22:53,460
The light's right to a rock quarry.

1649
02:22:54,500 --> 02:22:55,660
It's a rock quarry.

1650
02:22:57,300 --> 02:23:02,580
Is it right across from that traffic light? Because if it is, that's like the perfect

1651
02:23:02,580 --> 02:23:08,580
spirit that's the turn. Where's the light?

1652
02:23:08,840 --> 02:23:11,660
This right behind sure we write data traffic light.

1653
02:23:15,450 --> 02:23:22,130
What it is is that you got the sure will you then you got this building and then right next to

1654
02:23:22,130 --> 02:23:25,330
you got the intersection where there's stop read the brand's love.

1655
02:23:25,990 --> 02:23:29,230
Well, even if whatever case, oh, the right by the little

1656
02:23:29,230 --> 02:23:32,890
brain, the little stop-racing, right by the stop-racing,

1657
02:23:33,250 --> 02:23:33,890
but yeah.

1658
02:23:34,270 --> 02:23:37,990
So what I'm trying to say about that is I had an issue.

1659
02:23:39,250 --> 02:23:42,990
And I was looking at solutions with businesses.

1660
02:23:44,070 --> 02:23:46,210
And you can't do it for one.

1661
02:23:46,550 --> 02:23:47,750
And it's state regulation.

1662
02:23:48,030 --> 02:23:49,030
It's G dot.

1663
02:23:49,030 --> 02:23:53,110
So, I don't think we're going to get far with that.

1664
02:23:55,380 --> 02:23:56,220
Yes, sir.

1665
02:23:56,560 --> 02:23:57,840
You dumb as again.

1666
02:23:57,900 --> 02:23:58,380
Yeah.

1667
02:23:58,540 --> 02:23:59,600
Certainly, you can ask.

1668
02:23:59,840 --> 02:24:01,300
But again, this is a state highway.

1669
02:24:01,540 --> 02:24:02,380
We can't control it.

1670
02:24:02,860 --> 02:24:04,400
It's a state highway.

1671
02:24:04,400 --> 02:24:06,660
They are very strict about what they do as Ms.

1672
02:24:06,660 --> 02:24:07,440
Ganton is indicated.

1673
02:24:07,860 --> 02:24:10,020
The same thing happened on how we won 38.

1674
02:24:10,500 --> 02:24:11,720
They baited very clear.

1675
02:24:11,940 --> 02:24:12,500
And you know that.

1676
02:24:12,500 --> 02:24:13,500
That's how the law is.

1677
02:24:13,680 --> 02:24:15,640
Certainly, you can go to ask G.

1678
02:24:15,780 --> 02:24:16,980
What they would do.

1679
02:24:17,340 --> 02:24:19,840
But as indicated, you can't do for one business

1680
02:24:19,840 --> 02:24:23,620
that you don't do for the rest, you would put them at a competitive disadvantage when you

1681
02:24:23,620 --> 02:24:27,480
can come out of sign it, or you can come out of the gas station, or you can come out

1682
02:24:27,480 --> 02:24:31,660
of the subway and do the same thing, but you can't do the, they would be at a competitive

1683
02:24:32,540 --> 02:24:32,940
disadvantage.

1684
02:24:36,380 --> 02:24:42,040
I would say, make a suggestion to go to G dot and see what they say, but in essence, we can't

1685
02:24:42,040 --> 02:24:42,700
do that here.

1686
02:24:42,700 --> 02:24:45,660
Yeah, yeah, that's actually what I was going to propose.

1687
02:24:46,420 --> 02:24:50,480
So, Cosmo and Barbara, maybe it sounds like the concern is safety.

1688
02:24:51,700 --> 02:24:57,600
So, we could agree to work alongside the planning staff and G-DOT to take their recommendation

1689
02:24:57,600 --> 02:25:03,460
on what is safe for this point of ingress and egress, and we can move forward with that.

1690
02:25:04,220 --> 02:25:10,340
Thank you, Sarah. I appreciate it. I know, and of course, I don't want to put them at a disadvantage.

1691
02:25:10,340 --> 02:25:15,820
And this will be the first new business with two standards here.

1692
02:25:16,360 --> 02:25:18,960
All the other businesses have been here decades.

1693
02:25:19,660 --> 02:25:26,540
So of course we can't impose any changes on their entrances, but this one, I certainly

1694
02:25:26,540 --> 02:25:28,500
want to look at the safety aspect of it.

1695
02:25:28,660 --> 02:25:29,660
Yeah, I understand you there.

1696
02:25:30,320 --> 02:25:35,340
And the reason I think we should go with this plan is I don't know what you do for living.

1697
02:25:35,360 --> 02:25:36,400
I'm not a traffic engineer.

1698
02:25:36,400 --> 02:25:49,440
I don't know if I write it right out is safe here or not, but G dot certainly would, so I think if we can work with them and work with the planning staff and go with G dot recommendation for this then we could come up with the safe solution for everybody.

1699
02:25:50,140 --> 02:25:52,200
Thank you. I just want to ask the question.

1700
02:25:52,800 --> 02:25:54,420
That's all. Thank you.

1701
02:25:54,640 --> 02:25:55,680
Any other questions, Council?

1702
02:25:56,960 --> 02:26:00,880
I have not been. I need a motion to us with all the recommendations of conditions.

1703
02:26:01,260 --> 02:26:02,840
A motion to approve this please.

1704
02:26:02,840 --> 02:26:10,600
Mayor Ford. Yes, ma'am. I like to make a motion to approve the request for a special use permit.

1705
02:26:12,280 --> 02:26:25,840
This is number eight, right? Yes, number eight, yes, special use permit for a portion of the property at 4498 North Harry Boulevard to allow the development and operation of a quick serve restaurant with drive through windows and our lanes.

1706
02:26:27,100 --> 02:26:48,840
In addition to all of the conditions that staff have recommended, as well as staff and the applicant will consult with G-DOT on the safety aspect, as far as the right and left-turn safety.

1707
02:26:48,840 --> 02:26:49,740
Yes.

1708
02:26:50,080 --> 02:26:50,640
Yes, ma'am.

1709
02:26:50,860 --> 02:26:55,740
So that's the condition for the sidewalk, the wide sidewalk in the street like decorative

1710
02:26:55,740 --> 02:26:56,680
street lights.

1711
02:26:57,060 --> 02:27:07,780
And also the sidewalks at 10 feet, eight feet, minimal, yes, and the street lights, the

1712
02:27:07,780 --> 02:27:09,480
decorative street lights.

Thank you.

1719
02:27:18,020 --> 02:27:18,660
Appreciate it.

1720
02:27:18,660 --> 02:27:20,460
Tell Miss Battle, we miss it, huh?

1721
02:27:20,460 --> 02:27:20,980
We didn't.

1722
02:27:21,420 --> 02:27:22,280
OK, absolutely.

1723
02:27:23,520 --> 02:27:25,240
All right, Sony modification case,

1724
02:27:26,820 --> 02:27:27,380
ZM2025.

1725
02:27:27,540 --> 02:27:29,860
That's 03 to Council of District 4.

1726
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:32,140
Consideration request for Sony modification,

1727

That's 02 for Prop 8 and 264 value heel road.

1729
02:27:40,800 --> 02:27:45,360
Plus, partial S 08, 0102, 000.

1730
02:27:46,100 --> 02:27:48,040
For purposes of one, increasing the number,

1731
02:27:48,040 --> 02:27:55,020
of vision lots from 16 to 28 and two change in the location of the types of amenities to be included

1732
02:27:55,020 --> 02:28:00,600
within the subdivision. So it's just like SR, suburban residential, property owners,

1733
02:28:01,200 --> 02:28:06,600
Claudia Perez, Gargandos, for the two five eight valley hill road and our lintro.

1734
02:28:08,420 --> 02:28:15,100
Okay, Gargandos is sent to say, I'm sorry, but I must manage here, but the two 64 valley hill road.

1735
02:28:15,100 --> 02:28:23,900
Approximately, S-08, 0102, 000, 00, 00 applicants, cloudy parades, grant totes,

1736
02:28:24,800 --> 02:28:34,180

1745
02:29:19,140 --> 02:29:23,060
Mr. Tom Twister here. Anyway, sir please.

1746
02:29:23,660 --> 02:29:26,820
Before I begin, I would like to stress that this is not a rezoning.

1747
02:29:27,040 --> 02:29:30,060
The zoning is already in place.

1748
02:29:30,720 --> 02:29:34,380
This is just what we call a major modification.

1749
02:29:34,380 --> 02:29:39,900
AXE, the threshold that the Community Development Director can do as far as the administrative

1750
02:29:40,620 --> 02:29:46,920
modification on the side plan. The applicant is basically requesting to increase the number of units from

1751
02:29:47,640 --> 02:29:49,720
16 to 28

1752
02:29:49,720 --> 02:29:54,020
the properties located along Valerio Row and is presently

1753
02:29:54,980 --> 02:29:55,940
undeveloped or

1754
02:29:55,940 --> 02:29:59,500
and one of the losses developed with a single family residential as well.

1755
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:08,980
The parcel that two-feet-day value or roll contains an existing single-family home while the northernmost parcel remains vacant in wooding.

1756
02:30:09,280 --> 02:30:18,340
The current zoning is SR suburban residential and will remain suburban residential. The current future land use designation of the property's low-density residential.

1757
02:30:18,340 --> 02:30:24,940
Even if we approve the zoning modification, it will still remain low density residential.

1758
02:30:25,280 --> 02:30:33,620
The proposed number of units per acre is 1.164 units per acre, which is way below our threshold

1759
02:30:33,620 --> 02:30:35,280
of low density development.

1760
02:30:35,920 --> 02:30:40,580
Our current low density top-side at 3.99 units per acre.

1761
02:30:41,280 --> 02:30:42,280
The sign was illegal.

1762
02:30:42,500 --> 02:30:46,780
I was posted no women in the field and no women in 24, 24, 24, 25.

1763
02:30:46,780 --> 02:30:54,060
The CZIM was held on November 2012 in the Planning Commission was held on December 2nd in the Planning Commission recommended approval.

1764
02:30:54,600 --> 02:30:57,540
Here's an area photo of the three parcels in question.

1765
02:31:01,840 --> 02:31:05,900
Here's an indication and proof that the zoning signs were posted.

1766
02:31:07,790 --> 02:31:08,990
Here's the zoning map.

1767
02:31:09,310 --> 02:31:13,250
As you can see highlighted by the yellow stars in the yellow,

1768
02:31:13,850 --> 02:31:16,370
you can see that it's compatible with the existing zoning.

1769
02:31:16,370 --> 02:31:22,130
Most of the community is a low-density residential and this property is low-density residential.

1770
02:31:24,890 --> 02:31:29,670
Zoning information property to the north of Yadapaiang World subdivision, which is PUD,

1771
02:31:30,130 --> 02:31:36,510
property to the south single-family residential, R-R and S-R property to the east single-family residential

1772
02:31:36,510 --> 02:31:43,610
and suburban residential property to the west single-family residential and rural residential land use.

1773
02:31:45,030 --> 02:31:51,590
future City of Stockbridge, future land use map. You can see that it's low density and all

1774
02:31:51,590 --> 02:31:55,630
the surrounding properties are low density.

1775
02:31:57,740 --> 02:31:59,900
The surrounding land use designations of the

1776
02:31:59,900 --> 02:32:04,620
surrounding properties. To the north, you got the Pyramid Grove subdivision. It's low density

1777
02:32:04,620 --> 02:32:09,560
residential. Proper to the south, you got single family residences and there are low density

1778
02:32:09,560 --> 02:32:14,440
residential. Proper to the east, you got single family residences, low density residents.

1779
02:32:14,440 --> 02:32:25,220
low density residential property to the west single family residence and the land uses low density as you can see that this project is compatible with the surrounding

1780
02:32:25,220 --> 02:32:27,120
land use

1781
02:32:29,130 --> 02:32:30,110
here's the

1782
02:32:30,110 --> 02:32:32,450
city of stock grid subdivision map

1783
02:32:33,570 --> 02:32:36,310
and the K now the surrounding subdivisions you got

1784
02:32:37,370 --> 02:32:42,790
Pine Grove has 206 units with a density of 2.55 units per acre

1785
02:32:42,790 --> 02:32:47,290
You got time view with 780 units with a density of 4.22 units per acre.

1786
02:32:47,730 --> 02:32:53,130
You got cactus ridge with 12 units with a density rate of 1.27 units per acre.

1787
02:32:53,370 --> 02:32:59,310
You got spring valley, spring wood valley, 508 units with a density of 1.9 for it units per acre.

1788
02:32:59,590 --> 02:33:03,690
And you got sensory oaks, 30 units at 1 unit per acre.

1789
02:33:03,950 --> 02:33:10,990
And this project with 1.64 units per acre is compatible with the surrounding land use densities.

1790
02:33:10,990 --> 02:33:19,250
The matter of fact, it would be the third lowest density in the area.

1791
02:33:21,110 --> 02:33:27,710
The zoning history, this property was so shaped with a resounding about two years ago.

1792
02:33:28,070 --> 02:33:31,790
What a property was resounding from rural residential and neighborhood commercial to suburban

1793
02:33:31,790 --> 02:33:32,450
residential.

1794
02:33:33,450 --> 02:33:39,730
That approval allowed a 16-light single-family subdivision would have managed such as a clubhouse,

1795
02:33:39,730 --> 02:33:43,190
who took a bio-court walk-and-trial and dialed part.

1796
02:33:46,730 --> 02:33:53,350
And that result was approved by City Council October 9, 2023 on the RZ-2023-O2 with the

1797
02:33:53,350 --> 02:33:58,830
following condition, minutes and locations, community amenities shall be located at the front

1798
02:33:58,830 --> 02:34:04,030
of the development to maximize visibility, accessibility and integration with the subdivision

1799
02:34:04,030 --> 02:34:09,490
interest. Home construction, all home shopping constructed on a flat foundation basement

1800
02:34:09,490 --> 02:34:15,270
should not be permitted. A multi-use path, a 10-foot wide multi-use path shall be constructed along the

1801
02:34:15,270 --> 02:34:20,230
frontage of the development, integrated into a gated interest design, and connected to internal

1802
02:34:20,230 --> 02:34:26,990
pedestrian circulation where practical. Landscaping and screened evergreen trees was supplemented

1803
02:34:26,990 --> 02:34:33,070
landscape and shall be installed. Insurance, maritime, policy liability shall be provided to the

1804
02:34:33,070 --> 02:34:37,090
adjacent property owner and the event of damage to their home resulting from development activities.

1805
02:34:37,090 --> 02:34:41,710
side-conformers. The subdivision shall be developing the coordinates with the City of

1806
02:34:41,710 --> 02:34:46,310
Stockbridge Unified Development Code. Architectural standards all homes shall comply with

1807
02:34:46,310 --> 02:34:51,930
section on 4.4, 0.2 of the unified development code, and flat recording. No land disturbance

1808
02:34:51,930 --> 02:34:56,430
of building permits will be issued. Until the recombination has been, flat has been

1809
02:34:56,430 --> 02:34:57,890
submitted to the community development department.

1810
02:35:02,020 --> 02:35:05,280
This is a side plan on the previous

1811
02:35:05,280 --> 02:35:10,080
usually approved in 2023 site plan, that was approved by Mayor and Council.

1812
02:35:16,180 --> 02:35:21,560
Here's the summary of the proposed summary of the requesting modification.

1813
02:35:23,800 --> 02:35:26,060
Currently, 16 single-family detached lots.

1814
02:35:26,580 --> 02:35:29,640
The applicant is proposing 28 single-family detached lots.

1815
02:35:30,240 --> 02:35:34,680
And the applicant gives us a reason, connection to the municipal solar system,

1816
02:35:34,680 --> 02:35:41,080
Eliminates the need for individual septic tanks, allowing increased density of 1.64 units per acre,

1817
02:35:41,520 --> 02:35:44,400
steal below the maximum of 3.9 units per acre.

1818
02:35:45,300 --> 02:35:50,440
2. This is the second requested change, a minute to area located near the subdivision entries.

1819
02:35:51,160 --> 02:35:56,420
A minute to area relocated to the rear of the subdivision. Relocated to improve accessibility,

1820
02:35:57,400 --> 02:36:01,600
functionality, and integration with open space connects directly to a walking trail,

1821
02:36:01,600 --> 02:36:04,140
and pedestrian bridge.

1822
02:36:05,340 --> 02:36:07,840
He also want to make changes to

1823
02:36:07,840 --> 02:36:09,500
on-site septic system.

1824
02:36:10,420 --> 02:36:12,660
The proposed modification will be connected to the

1825
02:36:12,660 --> 02:36:14,480
municipal sewer.

1826
02:36:15,760 --> 02:36:17,940
The city of Stuybridge's water authority approved

1827
02:36:17,940 --> 02:36:20,740
sewer services eliminated the need for septic

1828
02:36:21,300 --> 02:36:23,860
and supporting increased light year.

1829
02:36:25,100 --> 02:36:27,680
It's also requesting the change to approve the

1830
02:36:28,440 --> 02:36:31,960
The original Mini-Depaggers included a pool clubhouse

1831
02:36:31,960 --> 02:36:35,020
pickleboll, pickleboll, cold dog parking and

1832
02:36:35,020 --> 02:36:35,840
walk in Trial.

1833
02:36:36,160 --> 02:36:38,800
He's proposing now a grass open space.

1834
02:36:39,200 --> 02:36:42,500
Pignic area with gazebo, playground and walk in

1835
02:36:42,500 --> 02:36:43,460
Trial would bridge.

1836
02:36:43,840 --> 02:36:46,260
Simplify it and reconstruct reconfigured a

1837
02:36:46,260 --> 02:36:48,240
Mini-Depaggers to reflect some skills near

1838
02:36:48,240 --> 02:36:50,840
neighborhood recreation errors and cohesive

1839
02:36:50,840 --> 02:36:52,140
open space design.

1840
02:36:53,620 --> 02:36:56,660
The previous approved site plan establish the

1841
02:36:56,660 --> 02:37:02,580
for a 16-lot single-family detached subdivision on three parcels contained in 17 units,

1842
02:37:02,960 --> 02:37:08,320
with access from Balihiro Road and a use of onsite septic tanks. The original layout included

1843
02:37:08,320 --> 02:37:13,420
a central amenity area, featuring a pool clubhouse prickleball court, Dahl Park, Walk and

1844
02:37:13,420 --> 02:37:18,940
Trail, and generally located near the subdivision entrance. The current request,

1845
02:37:23,900 --> 02:37:24,480
the current zoning

1846
02:37:24,480 --> 02:37:29,980
and increasing the total number of units to 16 single family detach lots while I maintain it.

1847
02:37:30,000 --> 02:37:39,700
That same overall acreage resulting in a gross density of 1.64 units per acre, way up below the 3.9 unit per acre maximum, permitted

1848
02:37:39,700 --> 02:37:44,820
on the low density residential future land use designation. All lots meet or exceed the minimum

1849
02:37:44,820 --> 02:37:53,920
lot and set backwards requirements established by the UDC. Comparison of approval versus proposed.

1850
02:37:53,920 --> 02:38:01,720
the original proposed has 17 acres, the current plan has 17 acres.

1851
02:38:02,260 --> 02:38:04,800
The original zoning approval has 16 lots.

1852
02:38:05,000 --> 02:38:07,620
The current has 28 lot.

1853
02:38:08,300 --> 02:38:11,360
12 lot increase for a 75% increase.

1854
02:38:11,900 --> 02:38:15,900
The gross density of the original project was 0.94 units breaker.

1855
02:38:17,300 --> 02:38:21,340
The new density is 1.64 units breaker.

1856
02:38:21,340 --> 02:38:25,220
The increases due to the municipal sewer connection.

1857
02:38:26,060 --> 02:38:28,700
Utility service, onsite septic tanks.

1858
02:38:29,660 --> 02:38:32,140
Now they got connection to municipal sewer and water.

1859
02:38:32,360 --> 02:38:34,860
Eliminates need for individual septic tanks.

1860
02:38:35,280 --> 02:38:39,460
Access on the one entrance on Balihiro Road, that remains the same.

1861
02:38:39,820 --> 02:38:41,400
One entrance off Balihiro Road.

1862
02:38:42,100 --> 02:38:46,040
A minute to location front-up sub the original was the front-up sub division near

1863
02:38:46,040 --> 02:38:53,240
Now they're proposing real-for-subdivision adjacent to the tension pump relocated for better connectivity and safely

1864
02:38:54,200 --> 02:39:00,960
A minute to components originally they put the original approval mandated pool club house pickle by our court

1865
02:39:00,960 --> 02:39:08,360
Dow Park and walk-insure of now the applicant is proposing a grass open space picnic area will gazebo play ground walk-insure

1866
02:39:08,360 --> 02:39:13,200
with pedestrian bridge, simplified lower intensity recreational

1867
02:39:13,200 --> 02:39:18,420
packs. Originally there was a centralized pocket part in material. Now he's

1868
02:39:18,420 --> 02:39:23,820
proposing an integrated real open space and trail system. Open space is

1869
02:39:23,820 --> 02:39:28,820
redesigned and connected to stormwater area. Rollway lay out one internal

1870
02:39:28,820 --> 02:39:33,080
loop street. Now he's proposing two connected internal street for improved

1871
02:39:33,080 --> 02:39:37,180
circulation and lot of access. Lot's size configuration. Originally

1872
02:39:37,180 --> 02:39:44,920
The proposed in 18,000 square feet, a lot of area on septic tanks, now the size will be

1873
02:39:44,920 --> 02:39:51,500
10 to 12,000 square feet, lots on sewer, smaller uniform, lots consistent with SR zoning,

1874
02:39:52,260 --> 02:39:57,560
stormwater management, detention upon near entrance, detention upon relocated to the rear

1875
02:39:57,560 --> 02:40:02,080
with pedestrian beages, reposition for better drainage and visual buffering.

1876
02:40:03,840 --> 02:40:07,960
Here's the new site plan on the screen, the system of 28 units.

1877
02:40:09,960 --> 02:40:14,580
This slide shows the detail engineering plan for the proposed 28 lot subdivision.

1878
02:40:14,600 --> 02:40:20,400
It highlights the lot layout and turn off street network, relocate the military and the storm

1879
02:40:20,400 --> 02:40:22,740
water facility proposed that the rear of the site.

1880
02:40:26,120 --> 02:40:29,940
Here's the city of Stockbridge, the site plan and the city of Stockbridge map.

1881
02:40:34,960 --> 02:40:41,600
This slide right here shows the proposed sanitary sewer easement across 1452 gallops dry.

1882
02:40:41,960 --> 02:40:46,480
The easement allows them in this special line to extend both north to south of the vision.

1883
02:40:47,220 --> 02:40:53,620
The alignment maximizes impact on existing homes and complies with all clearance and engineering standard.

1884
02:40:53,620 --> 02:40:56,120
It has been a reviewer and improved by

1885
02:40:58,170 --> 02:41:00,050
stock grease water authority.

1886
02:41:01,500 --> 02:41:04,800
Here's a rendering on the proposed subdivision.

1887
02:41:04,800 --> 02:41:06,460
running out of homes,

1888
02:41:12,900 --> 02:41:13,760

The final phase is on a height and place and the share will be reviewed and proved.

1926
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:04,460
Who, by the community development department, prior to the issues that will land disturbance permit.

1927

All street lighting and insurance lighting, but then the subdivision shall be decorative and design and consistent with the architecture of character of the homes.

1928
02:45:14,820 --> 02:45:14,900
I said.

1929
02:45:15,740 --> 02:45:18,400
The All 13 recommendations for those conditions.

1930
02:45:18,860 --> 02:45:21,700
Councilor Nick questions concerns as far.

1931
02:45:22,680 --> 02:45:23,760
Can I ask questions?

1932
02:45:27,280 --> 02:45:30,920
I will call my comments until after the public.

1933
02:45:33,160 --> 02:45:36,580
Yeah, my question is, what did the old houses look like?

1934
02:45:36,760 --> 02:45:38,180
It would craft me style homes.

1935
02:45:38,520 --> 02:45:39,940
So, could you have a picture with a little...

1936
02:45:39,940 --> 02:45:43,160
No, I don't think we have a picture of the old.

1937
02:45:44,260 --> 02:45:45,460
No, we don't have it in this presentation.

1938
02:45:46,120 --> 02:45:49,280
So, from reviewing this, it looks like they shrink the size of the homes.

1939
02:45:49,720 --> 02:45:50,340
They did.

1940
02:45:50,620 --> 02:45:52,120
Okay, why would you do that?

1941
02:45:52,220 --> 02:45:54,780
From 18,000 square feet likes to 10 to 12.

1942
02:45:54,840 --> 02:45:58,520
I know, but I'm saying the actual size and the footprint of the house.

1943
02:45:58,900 --> 02:46:00,100
Not the lot.

1944
02:46:00,100 --> 02:46:09,240
So they got the size, I see that they put, again, the size of the homes, the lots, obviously,

1945
02:46:09,600 --> 02:46:15,640
were smaller, lots, but you know, you could build a 3,000 square foot house on a 12,000 square

1946
02:46:15,640 --> 02:46:19,040
foot, 12,000 square foot, lots, that's what my house is.

1947
02:46:19,700 --> 02:46:24,600
So I don't see, I'm trying to understand why they shrink the size of the houses to,

1948
02:46:28,480 --> 02:46:28,620
to, to,

1949
02:46:29,400 --> 02:46:35,520
just they would have had more of them but they would have been a bigger, bigger home. So maybe I

1950
02:46:35,520 --> 02:46:42,860
don't know you was there any discussion of that? Not, not, no, no, no, sir. Not exactly but the price

1951
02:46:42,860 --> 02:46:49,680
points the applicant stated the price points would be around 375,000 star. Okay, that's what I'm saying

1952
02:46:49,680 --> 02:46:58,080
but I just want to know if maybe I can ask them when they get up here is that when they

1953
02:46:58,080 --> 02:47:02,300
we're building, and what was the price point of the homes that they're building now?

1954
02:47:02,860 --> 02:47:07,920
Because we need houses in all price points, and certainly, if I'm living in the area,

1955
02:47:08,020 --> 02:47:13,260
I want to get the best quality home built possible so that it maintains my property value.

1956
02:47:13,620 --> 02:47:20,400
Originally, the homes were in the forest, in the 400s, and what was the square footage?

1957
02:47:20,400 --> 02:47:31,640
I think like on 3,000 of all right so that was there was a big nice size home so I'd be interested to see why they decided to shrink the size of the holes.

1958
02:47:31,680 --> 02:47:32,180
Yeah.

1959
02:47:33,180 --> 02:47:33,560
Okay.

1960
02:47:33,820 --> 02:47:34,400
Thank you.

1961
02:47:36,400 --> 02:47:37,960
It's very good question right now.

1962
02:47:38,200 --> 02:47:38,400
Okay.

1963
02:47:39,240 --> 02:47:39,840
All right.

1964
02:47:40,300 --> 02:47:43,300
The actual apricot toward representatives of the apricot.

1965
02:47:44,520 --> 02:47:50,120
before you come up there. I thought we had on these homes, I thought we had a brick requirement

1966
02:47:50,120 --> 02:47:57,180
of lamentable amount of brick that we would have on each home, because I see almost no brick

1967
02:47:57,900 --> 02:48:06,040
on these homes. I see a water table on one, I think, and then a little bit of stone on one.

1968
02:48:06,180 --> 02:48:07,240
What happened to it?

1969
02:48:07,240 --> 02:48:13,300
This is just a conceptual purpose as when he's admit he would, this house went when passed

1970
02:48:13,300 --> 02:48:13,720
the test.

1971
02:48:13,920 --> 02:48:15,600
He would have to have more brick on it.

1972
02:48:15,880 --> 02:48:18,140
Is it also identified in the 13 conditions?

1973
02:48:19,120 --> 02:48:19,460
No, no.

1974
02:48:19,460 --> 02:48:27,060
No, it's just damn the code, it's just in the code, so the whole front side would need more brick

1975
02:48:27,060 --> 02:48:30,700
or stone, and then water tables around three sides.

1976
02:48:32,240 --> 02:48:46,260
Right, so the coast is one that the mic could muster would be just in right here, but it was still required more brick, so I'm thinking I think they make the changes to comply with our coal requirements.

1977
02:48:46,880 --> 02:48:50,500
These homes would be in the 400,000 dollar price range.

1978
02:48:51,280 --> 02:48:54,680
Also the other way is to make the requirement to a cost factor go up.

1979
02:48:55,000 --> 02:48:55,520
Yes sir.

1980
02:48:58,300 --> 02:49:06,600
Yes, please, the owner of the developer, representative, and please pronounce the name

1981
02:49:06,600 --> 02:49:11,260
and excuse me for mispronouncing two names, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

1982
02:49:12,060 --> 02:49:21,280
My name is Alejandro Granados, and I'm one of the developers in this project, and in this case,

1983
02:49:21,280 --> 02:49:30,040
She is a Jacqueline Frenin shallow and she can assist me in my English. She's not the best one, okay?

1984
02:49:30,300 --> 02:49:36,540
I need her her assistance. I appreciate no problem. I have a presentation here.

1985
02:49:50,950 --> 02:49:56,950
It certainly was a good addition that we were able to switch these homes from septic to sewer.

1986
02:49:56,950 --> 02:50:04,150
at every opportunity when we get an opportunity to switch homes or if that's, I think that's a policy of the, you know,

1987
02:50:04,250 --> 02:50:09,950
can't if they have close access to sewer, they should be mandated to connect to it.

1988
02:50:10,510 --> 02:50:11,690
Good job. Absolutely.

1989
02:50:13,550 --> 02:50:16,630
Okay. This is our project.

1990
02:50:18,250 --> 02:50:26,390
We have a profile for 16 lots and many days in the front of the property.

1991
02:50:26,390 --> 02:50:32,790
including a pool, a clubhouse, a pickable courts, and a playground,

1992
02:50:35,910 --> 02:50:37,250
when we receive the

1993
02:50:37,250 --> 02:50:43,770
authorization from the city of Estagrees to connect to the sewer lines, to the public sewer

1994
02:50:43,770 --> 02:50:56,310
lines, we can really design our project to increase or to remove the septic tons,

1995
02:50:56,310 --> 02:50:59,470
and connect to the sewer lines,

1996
02:51:02,550 --> 02:51:09,430
and we made a studio of the market and to have the opportunity

1997
02:51:09,430 --> 02:51:18,050
to offer more houses to more of the average people in or possibilities of the average

1998
02:51:18,050 --> 02:51:26,770
people live in this area, can buy houses more cheaper that we offer in the first large

1999
02:51:26,770 --> 02:51:33,370
yard, you know, because we in the first large yard, in this large yard, we offer houses around

2000
02:51:37,050 --> 02:52:02,710
3300 square feet, and the price range initially is around 550,000, 580,000, around 6600,000,000, and for that reason, we talk with a lot of people, a possible customers and

2001
02:52:03,370 --> 02:52:11,210
and some neighbors, and the best option is development,

2002
02:52:12,130 --> 02:52:17,350
custom houses with a good size lots.

2003
02:52:20,890 --> 02:52:24,910
And for that, yeah, principal, that is the reason

2004
02:52:24,910 --> 02:52:26,950
we reschedule everything.

2005
02:52:27,350 --> 02:52:29,270
We talk with a lot of people.

2006
02:52:30,000 --> 02:52:40,980
For that reason, and with the opportunity to connect to the sewer is better.

2007
02:52:44,600 --> 02:52:54,120
Thank you for that reason. There was better use to be able to utilize the land a little bit better. Now, having that opportunity to connect directly to the sewer system.

2008
02:52:54,120 --> 02:53:02,180
Okay, this is the our sewer easement.

2009
02:53:02,640 --> 02:53:16,120
Connection is approval for my neighbor and we already have the plan to connect our property to the public sewer.

2010
02:53:18,780 --> 02:53:30,420
In this Laya, you can see our proposal is 28 lots and come on, what a set of carries.

2011
02:53:31,420 --> 02:53:43,060
On the back area, we have the detention pump, same like in the first Laya out, just modify the amenities, remove the pool,

2012
02:53:43,060 --> 02:53:53,140
the pickable court to preserve a good relationship with the neighbors and just keep a

2013
02:53:53,140 --> 02:54:02,560
barbecue area with a gas evil playground, green area, and a walking trail with a dot trail

2014
02:54:02,880 --> 02:54:08,200
in the right side of the north of in the property.

2015
02:54:16,700 --> 02:54:18,720
So as mentioned, these are the

2016
02:54:18,720 --> 02:54:25,620
host amenities. There's going to be a children's playground, barbecue area, Gazibel and a walking

2017
02:54:25,620 --> 02:54:28,380
trail, slash dog, dog trail.

2018
02:54:33,580 --> 02:54:37,520
This is a rendering of the new subdivision,

2019
02:54:42,000 --> 02:54:43,640
and also the

2020
02:54:43,640 --> 02:54:48,060
the model homes, what they proposed, the model homes, what they look like.

2021
02:54:48,060 --> 02:54:51,080
I'll give you a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit.

2022
02:54:51,680 --> 02:54:55,060
About your question sir.

2023
02:54:56,080 --> 02:55:02,500
You say if you can see this, the wide area.

2024
02:55:03,640 --> 02:55:08,060
The requirements say we need to preserve triplets,

2025
02:55:09,340 --> 02:55:10,700
stone or bricks.

2026
02:55:11,380 --> 02:55:17,900
We'll have a stone design to the around five.

2027
02:55:17,900 --> 02:55:19,620
or more

2028
02:55:22,270 --> 02:55:24,330
in our design,

2029
02:55:27,590 --> 02:55:30,910
same in all of the proposal,

2030
02:55:34,080 --> 02:55:39,020
maybe in this render you can see the stone

2031
02:55:39,020 --> 02:55:47,240
area until the door garish side is in the same for the whole house.

2032
02:55:52,390 --> 02:55:54,910
And this one is the one

2033
02:55:54,910 --> 02:55:56,970
or proposal.

2034
02:56:01,170 --> 02:56:03,390
Let's get to see this.

2035
02:56:05,330 --> 02:56:09,670
And this is just a proposed model of the interior of the house.

2036
02:56:13,460 --> 02:56:19,080
So the big question is why are we requesting these modifications and as stated before the approval

2037
02:56:19,080 --> 02:56:25,400
to the sewer system with the city of Sockbridge water authority, of course, they allowed us to

2038
02:56:25,400 --> 02:56:33,520
to add up to 30 homes for the capacity of the existing infrastructure, so that's why we were

2039
02:56:33,520 --> 02:56:40,300
able to do at least 28. We have already secured an easement that will directly connect to the

2040
02:56:40,300 --> 02:56:45,760
sewer lines and the subdivision to the north of the project. The cancellation of the septic

2041
02:56:45,760 --> 02:56:51,400
systems allows us to build more homes and smaller lots of lot sizes, still within the maximum

2042
02:56:51,400 --> 02:56:56,200
density per acre of the city of Stockbridge. The market city in the area supports building

2043
02:56:56,200 --> 02:57:00,920
and neighborhood with homes was comparable square footage ranging anywhere between 350-380

2044
02:57:01,880 --> 02:57:09,120
or up to the 400 with brick, more brick. Our markets market city supports building homes for

2045
02:57:09,120 --> 02:57:15,100
families with a medium household income of 70-80,000. We are proposing moving the

2046
02:57:15,100 --> 02:57:18,400
amenities to the back of the project for the following reasons.

2047
02:57:19,280 --> 02:57:23,140
There are safety concerns, Valley Hill Road as I made your road was

2048
02:57:23,140 --> 02:57:27,340
constant traffic. We're proposing moving the play areas for the safety of the

2049
02:57:27,340 --> 02:57:29,440
children to avoid high traffic areas.

2050
02:57:30,220 --> 02:57:33,240
amenities are being modified to reduce noise and preserve good

2051
02:57:33,240 --> 02:57:34,900
relations with neighboring properties.

2052
02:57:35,980 --> 02:57:39,140
And for this reason we have removed the pool clubhouse and

2053
02:57:39,140 --> 02:57:42,500
pickleball courts. Of course this minimizes the impact

2054
02:57:42,500 --> 02:58:02,640
to the land back there and the proposed amenities will be surrounded by a landscaping green areas to meet the requirements of the city of Sock Ridge and all amenities and properties will follow the city's requirements for setbacks and buffer zones and lighting and the amenities areas and throughout the subdivision will be directed downward to not shine into neighbors homes.

2055
02:58:06,040 --> 02:58:07,060
That's it.

2056
02:58:08,580 --> 02:58:11,000
Good questions, concerns.

2057
02:58:12,440 --> 02:58:13,860
That's for all.

2058
02:58:13,860 --> 02:58:17,980
I'll hold my questions until after the public.

2059
02:58:18,940 --> 02:58:19,660
Anybody down here?

2060
02:58:20,120 --> 02:58:20,480
Go ahead, please.

2061
02:58:21,420 --> 02:58:28,220
So in the development, I certainly applaud the opportunity to increase the sewer.

2062
02:58:28,880 --> 02:58:32,340
Certainly, at every opportunity, I think Ryan that needs to be a code.

2063
02:58:33,100 --> 02:58:39,300
If sewer is winning a closed proximity, it should be required for them to connect to the sewer.

2064
02:58:39,300 --> 02:58:52,000
That is the direction certainly of a modern city that we should be going nobody should be on self-tape unless it's absolutely necessary and most areas are in close proximity to sewer.

2065
02:58:53,100 --> 02:59:03,760
Now, my thing would have been you giving you the 28 lots, but build the same house.

2066
02:59:03,760 --> 02:59:08,980
Don't shrink down the size of the houses, build the same product that you are going to

2067
02:59:08,980 --> 02:59:14,820
build originally but build that on the 28 lots instead of trying to shrink down the

2068
02:59:14,820 --> 02:59:20,920
house and because on a 12,000 lot, you could still do 3,000 square foot house.

2069
02:59:21,440 --> 02:59:27,500
Or maybe even do a combination, do some of the smaller houses for their affordability and then

2070
02:59:27,500 --> 02:59:33,460
do larger houses too, so do both in one plan, some of the 28, some of them would be

2071
02:59:33,460 --> 02:59:40,420
3,000 square feet, some of them might be 2400 square feet or smaller size, so you offer

2072
02:59:40,420 --> 02:59:46,340
a variety in the neighborhood, instead of just offering all small homes, which basically

2073
02:59:46,340 --> 02:59:51,520
what'll happen is the larger homes will pull up the value of the smaller homes because

2074
02:59:51,520 --> 02:59:54,620
they're in close proximity, so is that a possibility?

2075
02:59:56,600 --> 02:59:58,020
Yes, sir. Is that a possible?

2076
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:05,000
Our target is offered up for a product.

2077
03:00:06,240 --> 03:00:06,940
I'm not sexy.

2078
03:00:07,360 --> 03:00:08,320
I'm not a communist.

2079
03:00:08,580 --> 03:00:11,040
I want something that's more accessible to the community.

2080
03:00:11,840 --> 03:00:19,260
So that's a main goal and why he had gone for a smaller, smaller homes.

2081
03:00:19,420 --> 03:00:21,920
Go small homes will be a little more economical because we should get that.

2082
03:00:22,860 --> 03:00:27,280
My point is that, certainly, you could have the smaller economical homes,

2083
03:00:27,280 --> 03:00:32,640
but you could also have some larger homes as well, so you could split it between the two.

2084
03:00:32,860 --> 03:00:36,540
So you would have, you would have smaller homes and you would have larger homes.

2085
03:00:38,120 --> 03:00:43,920
That's my second suggestion, and certainly we'll be interested to see what everybody else would have to say.

2086
03:00:44,160 --> 03:00:50,900
As always, we always advise people, you might not want the best house in the neighborhood, right?

2087
03:00:51,360 --> 03:00:55,300
You want someone else, so if I'm in a smaller footprint house,

2088
03:00:55,300 --> 03:00:58,120
And somebody next to me has a 3,000 square foot.

2089
03:00:58,120 --> 03:00:59,660
It's going to have that pulling effect.

2090
03:00:59,880 --> 03:01:02,120
It's going to raise my property values

2091
03:01:02,120 --> 03:01:04,180
and it's going to help maintain the neighborhood.

2092
03:01:05,320 --> 03:01:08,020
So mixed income neighborhoods are a really good thing

2093
03:01:08,020 --> 03:01:10,220
where you have mixed income neighborhoods.

2094
03:01:10,980 --> 03:01:13,200
And it's always a great thing, I think.

2095
03:01:13,760 --> 03:01:16,520
So if something could be worked out in that aspect,

2096
03:01:17,380 --> 03:01:19,660
a certainly applaud again, connecting to the sewer,

2097
03:01:19,980 --> 03:01:22,320
where you'd have more homes and then you would have

2098
03:01:22,320 --> 03:01:27,140
And for you, for your standpoint, you would have a bigger price point on a small, a lot,

2099
03:01:27,240 --> 03:01:31,450
which would include increased profitability on some of the homes which are the larger homes.

2100
03:01:34,040 --> 03:01:39,400
You know, questions from council. Thoughts. It rhymes in reference to, come back to

2101
03:01:39,400 --> 03:01:40,260
polling, please.

2102
03:01:43,890 --> 03:01:47,930
In reference to Miss Alexander's suggestion, and unless the council has any other

2103
03:01:47,930 --> 03:01:53,480
questions, I guess we're talking about a mixture of small homes and larger homes if there are

2104
03:01:54,340 --> 03:01:59,000
And then I guess we probably have to look at a look at a 28, what would that number be?

2105
03:01:59,280 --> 03:02:01,820
I think we not kind of figure out a number per se.

2106
03:02:02,180 --> 03:02:03,280
Or what makes sense here?

2107
03:02:03,420 --> 03:02:05,460
Maybe 25% larger homes.

2108
03:02:05,740 --> 03:02:06,720
25% you think?

2109
03:02:08,080 --> 03:02:09,560
First of all, I guess this is how it's done.

2110
03:02:09,640 --> 03:02:10,620
Does that make sense to you?

2111
03:02:10,760 --> 03:02:12,820
And whether or not they're agreeable, then that's another thing.

2112
03:02:13,600 --> 03:02:16,620
Yes, it makes sense because you have the affordability,

2113
03:02:16,720 --> 03:02:18,180
which is much desirable.

2114
03:02:18,800 --> 03:02:21,120
But you also have folks who just want to live in a neighborhood

2115
03:02:21,120 --> 03:02:27,040
where you got to make some company. Those neighborhoods work out best. Then have an all one

2116
03:02:27,040 --> 03:02:28,360
price point in the neighborhood.

2117
03:02:30,630 --> 03:02:34,110
Yes, we don't have any problem with that. We can include one

2118
03:02:34,110 --> 03:02:42,230
one design. We have right now four designs for the small houses. We can include one design for the bigger

2119
03:02:42,230 --> 03:02:50,350
lots, you know, because we have one or two, yeah, one different designs to to offer different

2120
03:02:50,350 --> 03:02:56,970
options, or more beaker, all right. So this needs to be in the add to the other the other

2121
03:02:56,970 --> 03:03:06,110
recommendations of conditions, I guess. Okay, you noted it and I guess miss, I mean when we make

2122
03:03:06,110 --> 03:03:15,670
it, when we, yes, who add, if it's approved, you have 25% with 3,000 minimum, 3,000 square feet.

2123
03:03:18,710 --> 03:03:19,070
Okay,

2124
03:03:24,270 --> 03:03:29,730
I'm going to open up to, I don't need to read this, I'll read that, I'm opening up to public hearing there, okay.

2125
03:03:29,810 --> 03:03:35,330
So any comments for this development, you can have a sit down for just a moment, for the briefment, yes.

2126
03:03:35,710 --> 03:03:41,550
Anybody on this for this development, the comments for the public comments on my very left, in the end of the middle,

2127
03:03:41,550 --> 03:03:45,350
before right and the commissar to have negative commissar

2128
03:03:45,350 --> 03:03:49,430
commissar gets this particular development far left in the middle.

2129
03:03:50,730 --> 03:03:54,330
We'll stand up and line up on the side anybody else in the middle or

2130
03:03:54,330 --> 03:03:55,610
far right.

2131
03:03:56,610 --> 03:03:56,990
All right.

2132
03:03:57,430 --> 03:04:02,290
So otherwise if you're the only one and you come up and give your name and address

2133
03:04:02,290 --> 03:04:05,110
please one at a time, name and address in the comments.

2134
03:04:08,220 --> 03:04:09,220
My name is Susan.

2135
03:04:09,500 --> 03:04:12,640
I live at 310 Valley Hill Red on stop red.

2136
03:04:12,640 --> 03:04:21,840
Okay. I'm the largest landowner. I've said this until the I'm blue in the face. I don't I can't scream loud enough about this project.

2137
03:04:22,080 --> 03:04:32,060
I'm the largest landowner adjacent to this project in 2023, which was two years and three months ago.

2138
03:04:32,600 --> 03:04:42,060
They came to y'all and they asked y'all, hey, can we build this? And now I said, yeah, you can build it under these stipulations.

2139
03:04:43,320 --> 03:04:50,540
The first stipulation was he had to move every all the amenities up to the front of the subdivision.

2140
03:04:51,100 --> 03:04:54,820
Here's the two maps. He hasn't done that.

2141
03:04:55,600 --> 03:05:04,020
Only thing he's done is replace the pickleball court in the swimming pool in the clubhouse with a playground and added more houses.

2142
03:05:04,800 --> 03:05:08,360
He's taken it from a sewer to a septic.

2143
03:05:08,580 --> 03:05:14,120
I know why they did that because the whole project is sitting on a rock.

2144
03:05:14,600 --> 03:05:14,900
Rock.

2145
03:05:15,320 --> 03:05:25,060
Whenever I say rocks, as big as my car, they're huge and you go back, you pick up the

2146
03:05:25,060 --> 03:05:25,700
rock.

2147
03:05:26,100 --> 03:05:30,140
Three days later after it's been rain real good, guess what happens?

2148
03:05:30,420 --> 03:05:31,600
There's another rock there.

2149
03:05:31,600 --> 03:05:34,700
It doesn't matter if you're sitting on a rock.

2150
03:05:35,820 --> 03:05:37,940
I'm going to have damages to my house.

2151
03:05:38,600 --> 03:05:42,560
The 270 houses that went back behind my

2152
03:05:42,560 --> 03:05:44,580
And that big subdivision.

2153
03:05:46,000 --> 03:05:48,600
Everybody has a little bit of damage to their house.

2154
03:05:49,080 --> 03:05:50,580
Me? I got lucky.

2155
03:05:51,380 --> 03:05:54,260
I didn't have cracks in my foundation or anything like that.

2156
03:05:54,440 --> 03:05:56,440
But it knocked stuff off the walls.

2157
03:05:57,020 --> 03:05:58,080
Whenever they were blasting.

2158
03:05:58,080 --> 03:06:05,600
But dad went over there while he was still alive and he said, hey, these people, your damage

2159
03:06:05,600 --> 03:06:06,520
in their houses.

2160
03:06:07,420 --> 03:06:15,620
So they quit putting this basements in and they quit blasting like really close to our homes.

2161
03:06:18,720 --> 03:06:23,180
The traffic, I can't scream enough about the traffic.

2162
03:06:23,260 --> 03:06:26,240
This place is already so saturated, it's not even funny.

2163
03:06:26,240 --> 03:06:35,500
The town homes up here by Rico's, everybody's cutting through Valley Hill Road to go to Highway 42 to go in the town.

2164
03:06:37,000 --> 03:06:44,480
Okay, then you got the town homes that's going in at the end of Valley Hill Road, right down there by 42.

2165
03:06:45,280 --> 03:06:48,540
And then you got this subdivision going on right here.

2166
03:06:48,540 --> 03:06:59,080
I don't know, I had no idea what way y'all go, okay, but I am mad, okay, I was upset whenever this

2167
03:06:59,080 --> 03:07:07,200
first came about and I'm like okay, you know, it changes good sometimes, roll with it two and a

2168
03:07:07,200 --> 03:07:12,900
half years ago. I thought they dropped the project. I have asked, I don't know, how many people

2169
03:07:12,900 --> 03:07:16,880
Can you tell me how long they have to revise the map?

2170
03:07:17,420 --> 03:07:21,200
No one, not one person has given me

2171
03:07:21,200 --> 03:07:23,820
a definitive answer of yes.

2172
03:07:24,680 --> 03:07:25,620
They have forever.

2173
03:07:26,100 --> 03:07:29,980
Now you're talking about doing a whole another...

2174
03:07:30,000 --> 03:07:38,840
I don't even know what you call it. I'm just a dumb country bumpkin that's been here for 25 years

2175
03:07:38,840 --> 03:07:46,000
that has built my house that I wanted to die in and take it and turn it upside down.

2176
03:07:46,940 --> 03:07:50,920
Okay, I know you got pretty mad at me at Merle Manders the other night.

2177
03:07:50,920 --> 03:07:52,760
Now I'm here with any of the messages.

2178
03:07:53,500 --> 03:07:54,740
Please, no one else, Thomas.

2179
03:07:55,220 --> 03:07:55,620
Okay.

2180
03:07:57,380 --> 03:08:00,100
So, far as distance is in everything,

2181
03:08:00,740 --> 03:08:03,160
I'm going to show you what the distance is

2182
03:08:03,160 --> 03:08:05,480
for my house to the property line,

2183
03:08:05,860 --> 03:08:07,580
where they're wanting to put this playground

2184
03:08:07,580 --> 03:08:09,560
and the retention pond.

2185
03:08:10,080 --> 03:08:12,240
We all know what comes with retention pond.

2186
03:08:12,960 --> 03:08:13,560
Miscuitos.

2187
03:08:15,260 --> 03:08:18,620
And I understand that they're going to need that.

2188
03:08:18,620 --> 03:08:20,300
I'm standing on the property line.

2189
03:08:20,900 --> 03:08:21,660
that's my house.

2190
03:08:21,660 --> 03:08:23,800
That's okay never started a clock by the way.

2191
03:08:24,080 --> 03:08:25,640
Oh, did, let's okay. I'm going to see it. Okay.

2192
03:08:26,240 --> 03:08:27,920
I don't have enough that. Okay, I can't see it.

2193
03:08:28,060 --> 03:08:29,140
Okay, go ahead, please. Sorry.

2194
03:08:30,180 --> 03:08:32,960
That's how close it is going to be to my back door.

2195
03:08:34,680 --> 03:08:37,180
I see it. I don't see it again.

2196
03:08:37,400 --> 03:08:38,960
I don't know how you should see how the phone went.

2197
03:08:38,980 --> 03:08:40,060
I thought he looked at that.

2198
03:08:40,060 --> 03:08:41,020
All right.

2199
03:09:01,360 --> 03:09:07,480
He gets up here and he talks about how he's contacted neighbors and stuff like that.

2200
03:09:07,940 --> 03:09:10,020
I've never once been contacted.

2201
03:09:10,660 --> 03:09:15,160
My neighbors back on me that are sitting here they've never been contacted.

2202
03:09:18,300 --> 03:09:24,520
What might be good for him is not good for your old timers that have been here.

2203
03:09:26,470 --> 03:09:32,450
You're taking whenever whenever he first came he says, we're going to do this it's going

2204
03:09:32,450 --> 03:09:37,010
to be a offense to him property it's going to be really nice 16 houses we're going to have

2205
03:09:37,010 --> 03:09:42,150
this this this this this this this and young can come and young can enjoy our amenities

2206
03:09:42,150 --> 03:09:44,770
will give y'all passes to come in.

2207
03:09:47,500 --> 03:09:53,540
I mean, everything is flip-flopped so much. Who is held accountable

2208
03:09:53,540 --> 03:10:03,600
whenever this flip-flopps once again once this is already passed? Who's held accountable then? Whenever

2209
03:10:03,600 --> 03:10:08,160
the houses get damaged, you talked about having, you know, insurance.

2210
03:10:10,520 --> 03:10:11,920
Well, we've got insurance. You

2211
03:10:11,920 --> 03:10:13,960
I must be thinking there's going to be some damages.

2212
03:10:16,580 --> 03:10:17,660
It's like you're sitting there saying,

2213
03:10:18,020 --> 03:10:19,520
oh, okay, there's a train rate.

2214
03:10:19,560 --> 03:10:20,980
This takes and it happened.

2215
03:10:21,840 --> 03:10:23,140
Why not just stop the train wreck?

2216
03:10:25,850 --> 03:10:29,170
You're talking about the train on the end of Valley Hill Road.

2217
03:10:30,050 --> 03:10:34,550
That thing stops on the railroad tracks all the time.

2218
03:10:35,110 --> 03:10:37,610
You want to talk about back the,

2219
03:10:37,930 --> 03:10:40,410
okay, sometimes I can't even get out of my driveway

2220
03:10:40,410 --> 03:10:41,910
because of it.

2221
03:10:43,700 --> 03:10:49,840
You're adding so much more congestion to road this already saturated.

2222
03:10:51,040 --> 03:10:58,440
You cannot pour six gallons into a five gallon bucket, it's going to overflow every time.

2223
03:10:59,400 --> 03:11:08,600
I've said this until I'm blue in the face and I don't understand how this project keeps flip flopping all over the place.

2224
03:11:08,600 --> 03:11:35,600
I don't get it. I don't get it. I pray that y'all do the right thing. I really do. It's not about just me. It's about all of these people back here too. I'm partialed my property because it's my home. Just like they are.

2225
03:11:35,600 --> 03:11:49,280
But whenever you tell them that this project passed under these stipulations, and then I hear them coming up here and saying this project is already passed, this project is already passed.

2226
03:11:49,680 --> 03:11:53,740
But you don't talk about the stipulations that was put on that for it to pass.

2227
03:11:55,930 --> 03:11:57,050
Thank you for your time.

2228
03:11:58,010 --> 03:11:58,230
All right.

2229
03:12:01,510 --> 03:12:03,410
You want to speak, ma'am?

2230
03:12:04,330 --> 03:12:06,010
I don't know how it's done.

2231
03:12:06,010 --> 03:12:10,210
All right, your name and I'll just please.

2232
03:12:10,890 --> 03:12:12,590
My name is Judy Hale.

2233
03:12:13,170 --> 03:12:16,090
I live at 61 North Davis Drive.

2234
03:12:16,350 --> 03:12:21,690
I'm the very short street that connects Valley Hill Road with Davis Road.

2235
03:12:22,710 --> 03:12:25,450
Everybody comes by my house sooner or later.

2236
03:12:26,270 --> 03:12:28,130
And here lightly it's constant.

2237
03:12:28,650 --> 03:12:30,890
24 hours a day we have traffic.

2238
03:12:31,370 --> 03:12:33,210
If you put the subdivision in,

2239
03:12:33,210 --> 03:12:35,850
It's only going to make it tenfold worse.

2240
03:12:37,430 --> 03:12:42,530
I've lived in my property for 68 years.

2241
03:12:42,950 --> 03:12:44,510
My mother and daddy brought that property

2242
03:12:44,510 --> 03:12:46,590
when I was seven years old.

2243
03:12:48,770 --> 03:12:51,390
When their house burned down, I built mine

2244
03:12:51,390 --> 03:12:53,370
on the other end of our property.

2245
03:12:54,930 --> 03:12:58,050
And I've lived in my home for 47 years.

2246
03:12:59,030 --> 03:13:00,590
I know what she means.

2247
03:13:01,150 --> 03:13:02,590
The traffic is terrible.

2248
03:13:02,590 --> 03:13:13,090
the train does back up constantly. On my road the speed limit is 25. I bet we don't

2249
03:13:13,090 --> 03:13:20,290
have one out of 50 cars that goes 25 miles an hour. On valley hill road the speed

2250
03:13:20,290 --> 03:13:26,290
limit is 35. I bet there's not one car out of 50 that goes 35 miles an hour.

2251
03:13:31,990 --> 03:13:32,570
And

2252
03:13:34,170 --> 03:13:41,490
I'm like Susan, isn't there a limit to the amount of time that someone can have to modify

2253
03:13:42,110 --> 03:13:43,890
their original request?

2254
03:13:45,150 --> 03:13:48,730
Or could he have waited five years and then asked for another modification?

2255
03:13:50,210 --> 03:13:55,710
Or if y'all approved this tonight, in another year, can he say, I've decided I want to

2256
03:13:55,710 --> 03:13:57,010
do 50 houses,

2257
03:14:00,680 --> 03:14:03,580
nobody's been able to tell us what the time limit is.

2258
03:14:04,440 --> 03:14:10,020
Now, nobody's been able to answer the question of how the road's going to take care of

2259
03:14:10,020 --> 03:14:10,600
all of this.

2260
03:14:10,920 --> 03:14:13,360
How are the schools going to take care of all of this?

2261
03:14:13,640 --> 03:14:17,420
We're overcrowded as it is, our roads are in horrible conditions.

2262
03:14:21,840 --> 03:14:23,340
Councillor, you want to give it a more time?

2263
03:14:23,360 --> 03:14:23,720
Yes.

2264
03:14:25,460 --> 03:14:29,280
Do you want more time?

2265
03:14:29,640 --> 03:14:34,800
Yeah, I just want to ask y'all a question, would y'all like people coming by y'all's house

2266
03:14:34,800 --> 03:14:41,020
24 hours a day. I have one of the darkest roads that are around, I think,

2267
03:14:43,040 --> 03:14:46,500
and I have foot traffic around my road constantly.

2268
03:14:48,260 --> 03:14:53,380
I can go out on my front porch at 1 o'clock in the morning and there will be somebody coming by my house.

2269
03:14:55,700 --> 03:14:59,900
Now we're talking about somebody that when they first moved here.

2270
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:03,500
There wasn't a paid road around us.

2271
03:15:07,460 --> 03:15:12,820
I was one of the first classes that ever graduated from Stopper, Chasco.

2272
03:15:14,320 --> 03:15:19,780
My children graduated from Stopper, Chasco. I've had grandchildren go into Stopper, Chasco.

2273
03:15:21,360 --> 03:15:33,740
I've seen this community change and not all of it's been for the better and I think it'll be a bad mistake to allow this subdivision to go in on Valley Hill Road.

2274
03:15:33,740 --> 03:15:39,060
I think you will, it will be to the detriment of all the neighborhood.

2275
03:15:40,200 --> 03:15:41,480
Thank you for your time.

2276
03:15:41,740 --> 03:15:43,620
Mr. Anderson, could you come back to vote, please?

2277
03:15:44,000 --> 03:15:44,600
Not too many.

2278
03:15:44,920 --> 03:15:44,920
Mr.

2279
03:15:52,900 --> 03:15:52,900
Anderson.

2280
03:15:53,260 --> 03:15:59,020
Okay, so the increase in the houses, what I understood, it was based on actually

2281
03:15:59,020 --> 03:16:02,320
based on from septic to sewer, it's a requirement that we made.

2282
03:16:02,440 --> 03:16:06,380
So that's, I think that's one of the reasons why, if I understand correctly, and we already

2283
03:16:06,380 --> 03:16:10,760
agreed for the conditions that 25% will be larger homes versus the smaller homes.

2284
03:16:10,760 --> 03:16:17,980
have some variety there. The revised map, there's a time frame. Can you address the time frame

2285
03:16:17,980 --> 03:16:21,840
and reference to this map and how it's changed in that nature? I think they're referencing

2286
03:16:22,420 --> 03:16:30,860
to a zoning action, should it be, should a zoning action expire? But there's no time limit on this.

2287
03:16:31,000 --> 03:16:36,380
One of the council members is somebody to make a motion to have that since there was no action.

2288
03:16:36,380 --> 03:16:43,360
There was a certain amount of time that before, like if something gets resolved in like a year or so,

2289
03:16:43,620 --> 03:16:48,380
you have to take some type of action or counsel can come back and ask that that

2290
03:16:48,380 --> 03:16:51,600
rezoning be rescinded, but no one did that.

2291
03:16:52,100 --> 03:16:56,600
Okay, so, overdo, I mean, it's just remains the same.

2292
03:16:57,200 --> 03:17:01,540
Okay, and then the many of these, if I understand correctly, the many of these were changed based on the

2293
03:17:01,540 --> 03:17:06,380
different houses, the number of houses increased I guess. It said some kind of concern. It's not

2294
03:17:06,380 --> 03:17:11,740
minor standing. We're due to a number of increased houses and location and things. That first

2295
03:17:12,600 --> 03:17:22,420
zoning, rezoning it occurred in 2023. That was just kind of like France and land. I don't

2296
03:17:22,420 --> 03:17:31,520
think that would have happened to have 16 homes and to have that many amenities, a pool and a

2297
03:17:31,520 --> 03:17:35,500
It's been very difficult for H.O.A. to support all those

2298
03:17:35,500 --> 03:17:36,020
amenities.

2299
03:17:38,940 --> 03:17:43,060
So, for only 16 homes, that would have been a real tough one.

2300
03:17:43,660 --> 03:17:44,220
You had a comment?

2301
03:17:45,040 --> 03:17:46,760
How do you have that?

2302
03:17:47,600 --> 03:17:48,520
I'm glad you said that.

2303
03:17:48,820 --> 03:17:52,140
Because when you said 16 homes, so this is a different owner.

2304
03:17:52,760 --> 03:17:53,740
Is that what's going on?

2305
03:17:53,940 --> 03:17:54,180
Yes.

2306
03:17:54,620 --> 03:17:55,200
It's a different owner.

2307
03:17:56,320 --> 03:18:03,880
I now, it brings clarification because the first one was kind of like smart homes where

2308
03:18:03,880 --> 03:18:11,320
and then there was like a runoff on the, the, the, the, where the water would drip down.

2309
03:18:11,480 --> 03:18:18,400
Oh, it was a different type of water system and everything. Yes, yes, yes. Okay. So, and that particular,

2310
03:18:21,170 --> 03:18:30,050
I remember that and that brought me to wondering what is the difference now, so they're asking

2311
03:18:30,050 --> 03:18:37,210
to change from what we voted for and what we had requested because at that time we did

2312
03:18:37,210 --> 03:18:42,790
require, which I didn't agree with, insurance, but I thought that was a little bit of that.

2313
03:18:42,810 --> 03:18:45,730
That was a council condition at the time.

2314
03:18:45,730 --> 03:18:49,790
Okay, so they sold the property over to someone else.

2315
03:18:50,110 --> 03:18:50,730
Yes.

2316
03:18:51,010 --> 03:18:55,770
But we had already zoned it for a specific way.

2317
03:18:56,070 --> 03:18:59,610
And now they're coming and asking for it to be modified.

2318
03:18:59,610 --> 03:19:00,290
Modified.

2319
03:19:01,010 --> 03:19:01,650
Got it.

2320
03:19:02,770 --> 03:19:03,230
So.

2321
03:19:03,690 --> 03:19:06,710
I was also, I was also Council member again.

2322
03:19:07,290 --> 03:19:12,790
They didn't have access to sewer, but now the city has decided to run an

2323
03:19:12,790 --> 03:19:14,490
sewer expansion to the property.

2324
03:19:14,490 --> 03:19:18,250
So if originally, if it had had sue access,

2325
03:19:18,950 --> 03:19:21,390
they probably came in with a similar project.

2326
03:19:21,410 --> 03:19:23,210
Okay, well,

2327
03:19:25,530 --> 03:19:27,570
everyone needs to be on a sewer.

2328
03:19:29,870 --> 03:19:32,390
And I know a fence, but

2329
03:19:33,110 --> 03:19:34,810
we talked about that.

2330
03:19:35,110 --> 03:19:37,410
Here we kind of word authority talked about it.

2331
03:19:37,450 --> 03:19:39,770
As well as our public works department.

2332
03:19:39,770 --> 03:19:51,510
I mean, it's something that if it's available, it needs to be required and that's where I'm leaning at all times.

2333
03:19:52,450 --> 03:19:59,970
Now, in regards to things changing, and there are some concerns with the rock blasting and there were some basements.

2334
03:20:00,390 --> 03:20:03,690
Were any homes built on the area?

2335
03:20:04,290 --> 03:20:06,330
No, no, no homes would be built off that project.

2336
03:20:06,330 --> 03:20:13,550
Okay, and so we're conditioned on the fact that they can't have basements. They cannot have basements because they

2337
03:20:13,550 --> 03:20:21,070
Wouldn't be able to black they blast at all trying to create basements. No, nope. There was no construction

2338
03:20:22,610 --> 03:20:26,810
So I mean I guess there are assuming because of another project in the area

2339
03:20:27,450 --> 03:20:30,150
Was sitting on rock and they had to do a lot of blast

2340
03:20:30,150 --> 03:20:35,970
But it wasn't that project. No, it's not this problem. That land was just it still wasn't it's not developed at all

2341
03:20:35,970 --> 03:20:37,830
It hasn't been touched, but there's a herped.

2342
03:20:38,410 --> 03:20:40,190
OK, so no disturbance at all.

2343
03:20:40,410 --> 03:20:40,670
Yes.

2344
03:20:41,110 --> 03:20:41,450
All right.

2345
03:20:41,870 --> 03:20:44,210
And in addition to that,

2346
03:20:46,740 --> 03:20:48,320
the plan originally was

2347
03:20:48,320 --> 03:20:51,780
for the amenities, the playground, the swimming pool,

2348
03:20:52,020 --> 03:20:52,780
to be upfront.

2349
03:20:53,520 --> 03:20:55,620
Are they taking away a swimming pool,

2350
03:20:55,720 --> 03:20:57,960
or are they going to put it in the back?

2351
03:20:58,240 --> 03:20:59,900
They're removing a swimming pool all the other.

2352
03:21:02,380 --> 03:21:06,040
But they're removing it, but they want to add more homes.

2353
03:21:06,620 --> 03:21:06,960
Yes.

2354
03:21:08,780 --> 03:21:11,600
Yes. Yes. That's women pool. So what would be the

2355
03:21:12,240 --> 03:21:16,920
amenity? A barbecue pit, dog park. Let me give

2356
03:21:16,920 --> 03:21:20,940
back to it. I guess the Gazib law, I think this was

2357
03:21:20,940 --> 03:21:23,900
in there. You had it all on it. You showed it to us earlier.

2358
03:21:24,140 --> 03:21:26,880
Yes, sir. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Yeah,

2359
03:21:27,040 --> 03:21:31,860
welcome, Cheryl. Even with 28 homes, the swimming pool would

2360
03:21:31,860 --> 03:21:35,580
be. That would be costly for 28 homes. So does the

2361
03:21:35,580 --> 03:21:40,580
Standard for having a swimming pool is usually 100, 100 new and it's a more.

2362
03:21:43,080 --> 03:21:48,800
If I understand correctly, what we first talked about these amenities was with the first particular developer.

2363
03:21:48,860 --> 03:21:49,980
This is second developed.

2364
03:21:50,620 --> 03:21:51,760
So this is why the change occurred.

2365
03:21:52,460 --> 03:21:53,940
I guess part of the reason why change occurred.

2366
03:21:54,100 --> 03:21:54,440
All right.

2367
03:21:54,600 --> 03:21:57,260
Well, I was curious that what that change was.

2368
03:21:57,520 --> 03:22:01,340
But I remember, I recall the vision of the 16 homes.

2369
03:22:01,520 --> 03:22:04,280
And I thought it was like, I was like, gosh, I might want to move there myself.

2370
03:22:04,280 --> 03:22:11,340
It was beautiful. It was three level, modern homes, absolutely gorgeous homes. I mean,

2371
03:22:11,400 --> 03:22:17,200
who would want to live there in an average price was about $500,000. And these homes

2372
03:22:17,200 --> 03:22:29,380
or have produced some in design and I can understand reducing the amenities.

2373
03:22:30,000 --> 03:22:41,500
But people have a right to, it can be hard, you know, we understand that everyone has a right to use an enjoyment of their property,

2374
03:22:43,620 --> 03:22:48,360
the old neighbors, and the new, because they bought it too.

2375
03:22:48,360 --> 03:22:58,780
And I respect the constituent who's an old neighbor who came up and said, you know, she understands that some change has to be made,

2376
03:22:58,780 --> 03:23:03,000
let's be reasonable, septic,

2377
03:23:05,240 --> 03:23:07,620
what didn't happen, it would definitely be sewage, right?

2378
03:23:14,110 --> 03:23:22,030
But the amount of the properties, the 1.64 per acre, I don't know, I'm just kind of looking at

2379
03:23:22,030 --> 03:23:28,270
the design of it and just what exactly are the concerns because they have a right, if they own

2380
03:23:28,270 --> 03:23:33,130
the properties ever right to you. I think they're mostly concerned about the buffering,

2381
03:23:33,130 --> 03:23:39,910
She says that the property is real close to a property line, but Cole would prohibit that

2382
03:23:41,010 --> 03:23:48,310
SR to SR or the 25 foot buffer and then they had a rear yard set back of 40 feet. So the property would be almost

2383
03:23:49,250 --> 03:23:51,750
65 feet away from our property when it's constructed

2384
03:23:52,690 --> 03:24:00,970
Would there be anything to a fence a fence and evergreen trees evergreen trees and additional shrubbery. Okay

2385
03:24:00,970 --> 03:24:06,670
All right, but it would not be that close because that was close in from

2386
03:24:06,670 --> 03:24:10,310
I mean, that's the property line and property line, but the houses will not be that close.

2387
03:24:10,410 --> 03:24:11,570
Cold prohibits that.

2388
03:24:11,750 --> 03:24:12,030
Okay.

2389
03:24:12,590 --> 03:24:12,990
All right.

2390
03:24:13,070 --> 03:24:15,450
I have enough for the questions right now.

2391
03:24:16,230 --> 03:24:17,870
Is Barbara really put your comments?

2392
03:24:18,330 --> 03:24:18,570
I am.

2393
03:24:18,650 --> 03:24:19,710
Thank you.

2394
03:24:20,410 --> 03:24:20,930
So,

2395
03:24:24,200 --> 03:24:29,420
I like the concepts and designs of the home I do.

2396
03:24:29,980 --> 03:24:32,400
I have some concerns though, the blasting.

2397
03:24:32,400 --> 03:24:37,560
That's one of the issues that I know that I

2398
03:24:40,820 --> 03:24:46,380
know that blasting in rocks are an issue.

2399
03:24:47,980 --> 03:24:55,100
In fact, there's an area right across the streets from Monarch Village with a mayor and councilwoman again Lee.

2400
03:24:55,320 --> 03:25:02,560
It's full of rocks that area has remained undeveloped for that very reason because of the rocks.

2401
03:25:03,540 --> 03:25:15,520
So, that pose is, in my, my belief, a health safety and welfare concern in which I have spoken with the homeowner who lives right next to her to it.

2402
03:25:16,500 --> 03:25:22,700
She expressed these things concern with the original proposal for 16 homes.

2403
03:25:22,700 --> 03:25:30,500
I noticed that the square footage, the original proposal, for the 16 homes, it was average

2404
03:25:30,500 --> 03:25:39,840
18,000 square, the 18,000 square feet, the lots and reduced to 10,000 to 12,000 square

2405
03:25:39,840 --> 03:25:40,560
feet.

2406
03:25:41,040 --> 03:25:47,780
Yes, that's still in compliance with the suburban residential zoning district, that's still

2407
03:25:47,780 --> 03:25:50,380
use the minimum requirements of that district.

2408
03:25:54,120 --> 03:25:54,420
So,

2409
03:25:57,560 --> 03:26:03,180
the amenities for all new subdivisions, it has been sent by this council.

2410
03:26:04,460 --> 03:26:08,140
Councilman Alexander has mentioned it multiple times.

2411
03:26:08,640 --> 03:26:13,520
For all new residential developments, we do want a pool and clubhouse.

2412
03:26:14,420 --> 03:26:18,960
All new residential developments, and I'm surprised that those amenities,

2413
03:26:18,960 --> 03:26:22,180
these, the major ones have been removed from this project.

2414
03:26:23,000 --> 03:26:28,080
So what are you going to use to attract potential homeowners here?

2415
03:26:30,040 --> 03:26:31,960
That is another concern.

2416
03:26:42,870 --> 03:26:48,290
The brick requirement of my.

2417
03:26:48,790 --> 03:26:50,150
The price point.

2418
03:26:52,950 --> 03:26:58,410
It is now the 350,000 to 380,000 is what they...

2419
03:26:58,410 --> 03:27:06,350
But currently, but after we impose all our city standards and requirements regarding the elevations,

2420
03:27:06,590 --> 03:27:10,450
I'm anticipating the price for it to jump at least about 15 percent.

2421
03:27:12,360 --> 03:27:14,080
Another 15 percent?

2422
03:27:14,080 --> 03:27:16,600
15 to 20 percent to be actual.

2423
03:27:17,380 --> 03:27:18,360
The same to see.

2424
03:27:19,980 --> 03:27:21,500
It seems as though this.

2425
03:27:22,640 --> 03:27:24,840
So what are the issues that I have?

2426
03:27:25,240 --> 03:27:28,380
Because these proposals that are being presented from our district

2427
03:27:28,380 --> 03:27:33,600
It's affecting all of the homeowners around it.

2428
03:27:34,420 --> 03:27:41,400
So what I'd like to see is for all the developers who present proposals in my district.

2429
03:27:41,980 --> 03:27:47,420
Please have conversations with the homeowners in the area.

2430
03:27:47,760 --> 03:27:51,200
So it doesn't create conflict right off the bat.

2431
03:27:52,080 --> 03:27:56,580
I'd like to have all of that resolved or discussed upfront.

2432
03:27:57,980 --> 03:28:03,080
Because I don't want to pit neighbors against each other over the development such as this.

2433
03:28:03,740 --> 03:28:06,960
The property owner has a right to build.

2434
03:28:08,440 --> 03:28:13,600
We cannot deny the right for them to build, sell their land.

2435
03:28:14,120 --> 03:28:15,040
I get that.

2436
03:28:15,320 --> 03:28:22,620
I have the responsibility of determining whether or not this proposal is something that I believe will benefit

2437
03:28:22,620 --> 03:28:33,900
that particular area, because my district has been drawing the way, because the council drew my district the way they did, my district has unique needs.

2438
03:28:34,620 --> 03:28:44,640
One area of my district may be able to handle a residential proposal like this, where another area may not.

2439
03:28:44,640 --> 03:28:50,100
I don't believe this proposal is suitable for that particular air, not this amount of density

2440
03:28:50,100 --> 03:28:55,960
on that particular lie, because the railroad track is there.

2441
03:28:56,760 --> 03:29:05,040
You have the railroad, and considering the fact that they've increased the density and the number

2442
03:29:05,040 --> 03:29:11,800
of units on the property with no added amenities is also something that is of concern for me.

2443
03:29:11,800 --> 03:29:18,660
I want the same standards that each one of the council members expected their district.

2444
03:29:19,220 --> 03:29:22,040
I want the same standards in my district.

2445
03:29:22,940 --> 03:29:31,360
So if you approve development to my district, make sure the amenities include a pool and clubhouse,

2446
03:29:32,240 --> 03:29:34,040
not just pack in units.

2447
03:29:36,460 --> 03:29:38,900
So those are concerns that I have.

2448
03:29:38,900 --> 03:29:48,840
I like the concept, I do, is the density, the blasting, that is really a huge concern of mine.

2449
03:29:49,160 --> 03:29:49,820
That's all.

2450
03:29:50,440 --> 03:29:56,420
I would think that I believe would you say Mr. Anderson earlier that the pool is more beneficial

2451
03:29:56,420 --> 03:29:58,760
if you have 100 plus homes or something on those lines?

2452
03:29:59,080 --> 03:29:59,940
Yes, that's the standard.

2453
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:11,380
That's a standard, okay. And I also thought I understood that these were going to be, well, actually, they're on the ground. So there's no basements to any of these homes, they're on a slab.

2454
03:30:12,060 --> 03:30:15,600
Yes, that's the zoning condition of approval, that there'll be no basements.

2455
03:30:16,220 --> 03:30:23,300
Okay, which means there's a no basements to probably little to no, little to no blasted per se, not much if you're going to be, it's got a level around.

2456
03:30:24,480 --> 03:30:38,120
And then, of course, when it comes to new developments, we can't deny a new development for what we think would be a school situation or infrastructure situation with roads and things this nature.

2457
03:30:38,180 --> 03:30:41,400
That's something that we can't deny that by state law.

2458
03:30:41,560 --> 03:30:46,680
We can't deny for those type of reasons. Those things have to come along as time comes to the set.

2459
03:30:46,860 --> 03:30:47,700
That's correct, Mayor.

2460
03:30:47,700 --> 03:30:49,860
Okay, we can't deny based on those factors.

2461
03:30:50,240 --> 03:30:50,720
Right, right.

2462
03:30:51,120 --> 03:30:57,820
The only thing Steph does is contrast an applicant's proposal or request against our code,

2463
03:30:57,820 --> 03:31:04,000
the UDC and the comprehensive plan and this project met all that criteria.

2464
03:31:04,580 --> 03:31:11,220
Okay, including the density density is only 1.64 units per acre, that district allows

2465
03:31:11,220 --> 03:31:13,380
up to 3.99 units per acre.

2466
03:31:13,420 --> 03:31:14,500
God, appreciate it.

2467
03:31:14,520 --> 03:31:15,200
It's good.

2468
03:31:17,140 --> 03:31:18,200
That was the concern of mine.

2469
03:31:18,200 --> 03:31:23,160
I mean, if the density that I already allows a 3.9 unit per acre,

2470
03:31:25,040 --> 03:31:25,940
it's changed ownership.

2471
03:31:27,560 --> 03:31:31,160
There, you just, I was about to say,

2472
03:31:31,480 --> 03:31:32,840
test for you.

2473
03:31:33,220 --> 03:31:39,740
You presented to us the fact that there was no land disturbance,

2474
03:31:40,520 --> 03:31:42,580
like wherever the blasting was from,

2475
03:31:42,680 --> 03:31:44,560
did not come from that particular development.

2476
03:31:44,560 --> 03:31:57,560
And it's under 100 homes, the regulation and the requirement of a pool and a gaziba clubhouse.

2477
03:31:58,860 --> 03:32:03,300
We have a certain amount of homes and that's when we require certain amenities.

2478
03:32:05,100 --> 03:32:06,320
So we have to be realistic.

2479
03:32:07,720 --> 03:32:09,840
It's not town homes, right?

2480
03:32:10,140 --> 03:32:10,960
Thank God.

2481
03:32:10,960 --> 03:32:20,220
I mean, I don't want to say thank God, but it's not town homes and it's not 50 or 60 homes for talking less than 30 homes.

2482
03:32:21,860 --> 03:32:23,600
So I think that's what the reason.

2483
03:32:24,080 --> 03:32:29,940
Again, people have a right to earn our living and they bought the property.

2484
03:32:29,960 --> 03:32:32,660
It's already zoned for that particular area.

2485
03:32:35,120 --> 03:32:41,100
Besides me loving the three story designs of the 16 homes other than that.

2486
03:32:41,100 --> 03:32:42,700
So, you know,

2487
03:32:44,880 --> 03:32:50,980
who am I to deny it, I can't,

2488
03:32:53,610 --> 03:32:55,870
I see the design, I mean, we've got

2489
03:32:55,870 --> 03:32:57,130
walking trail paths,

2490
03:32:59,200 --> 03:33:02,400
I do have some concerns, I want to make sure that there's a nice

2491
03:33:02,400 --> 03:33:08,900
buffer between the neighbor's home, it's a, it's a concern in condition of approval, right,

2492
03:33:09,100 --> 03:33:15,120
but you know, I don't want her to have to go look at a playground or whatever it is.

2493
03:33:15,120 --> 03:33:17,320
It'll be heavily screening and buffer,

2494
03:33:17,360 --> 03:33:19,240
a separated by offense.

2495
03:33:19,940 --> 03:33:19,960
Yeah.

2496
03:33:20,320 --> 03:33:21,500
But other than that,

2497
03:33:22,900 --> 03:33:23,820
there's no blasting.

2498
03:33:25,620 --> 03:33:27,860
Testified that there's not been any blasting,

2499
03:33:28,480 --> 03:33:30,260
not for that particular area, that land

2500
03:33:30,260 --> 03:33:32,140
disturb, that the person the previous owner

2501
03:33:32,140 --> 03:33:33,440
didn't do any work.

2502
03:33:34,500 --> 03:33:39,450
So I don't have anything else to say.

2503
03:33:40,590 --> 03:33:42,610
I mean, I think we're following the rules or regulations,

2504
03:33:44,190 --> 03:33:45,370
and let me be clear,

2505
03:33:45,370 --> 03:34:01,570
You know, yes, everybody wants certain standards, but if if 16 to 20 something homes are in my area and their knife houses, I can't require a simple.

2506
03:34:02,910 --> 03:34:05,890
It's not realistic. Who's going to keep it up?

2507
03:34:12,940 --> 03:34:18,520
So, that's all.

2508
03:34:18,520 --> 03:34:26,280
100 homes over 900 and Marnartville is the largest subdivision and we are paying 400 and something

2509
03:34:26,280 --> 03:34:28,240
quarterly, isn't that right, Mayor?

2510
03:34:28,700 --> 03:34:29,260
This for it?

2511
03:34:29,260 --> 03:34:33,720
It's not, of course, it's a buy-in, it's semi-anglement, but it's over 600 dollars.

2512
03:34:33,800 --> 03:34:36,860
Yeah, something, something, something, something like that.

2513
03:34:36,920 --> 03:34:42,600
With over 900 homes, so come on now, I mean, can you imagine doing that with 28 homes?

2514
03:34:44,420 --> 03:34:48,500
You got to be realistic, you got to be educated and be like, I don't know,

2515
03:34:48,500 --> 03:34:53,220
head of it, but you got to be, you know, I mean, really think about common sense things.

2516
03:34:54,760 --> 03:34:54,940
So.

2517
03:34:55,440 --> 03:34:56,500
Who says that quick, please?

2518
03:34:56,680 --> 03:34:57,040
Yeah.

2519
03:34:57,720 --> 03:35:02,760
This neighborhood sounds very similar to the neighborhood that we did on Highway 42,

2520
03:35:03,240 --> 03:35:05,700
across some Eagles landing, first Baptist Church.

2521
03:35:06,080 --> 03:35:09,540
Right. It was a smaller neighborhood where,

2522
03:35:10,540 --> 03:35:16,740
I certainly, I felt for brick on the homes in order to get that, but basically what it came

2523
03:35:16,740 --> 03:35:22,900
down to is that we had so few homes that the amenity package was scaled back. I know

2524
03:35:22,900 --> 03:35:28,780
Councilman Boy was fighting for the brick on those homes over there too in order to try

2525
03:35:28,780 --> 03:35:35,220
to make that happen. But what it really comes down to is that and I think all of us

2526
03:35:35,220 --> 03:35:40,100
up here agreed that we need it single family detached and that here and I heard that a hundred

2527
03:35:40,100 --> 03:35:45,420
times because I was trying to push for a hundred percent brick on some of the homes but every

2528
03:35:45,420 --> 03:35:50,860
person up here said, I would do anything to have single family detached homes in my district.

2529
03:35:51,160 --> 03:35:51,700
Well guess what?

2530
03:35:51,740 --> 03:35:58,120
These are single family detached homes in your district and there are various sizes that we

2531
03:35:58,120 --> 03:36:04,360
agreed that we're going to do 25% larger homes, 75% of those will be smaller homes and

2532
03:36:04,360 --> 03:36:10,120
you've already indicated that the standard for building those homes will be brick front water

2533
03:36:10,120 --> 03:36:14,840
table on the side and that would kind of hold down the cost on the smaller home, but there

2534
03:36:14,840 --> 03:36:17,040
would be larger homes that are required.

2535
03:36:17,300 --> 03:36:21,720
And I echo what Ms. Gantt has as argued here,

2536
03:36:21,860 --> 03:36:24,600
which is, we were talking about 16 homes.

2537
03:36:24,800 --> 03:36:28,460
We added 12 more in understanding this.

2538
03:36:28,960 --> 03:36:30,680
And I sympathize with the neighbors,

2539
03:36:30,820 --> 03:36:35,320
but the state is spending $50 million on how we 42 right now.

2540
03:36:35,500 --> 03:36:38,120
There's been a $50 million to widen it.

2541
03:36:38,380 --> 03:36:41,700
So that'll have better access for Valley Hill

2542
03:36:41,700 --> 03:36:43,080
and the surrounding area.

2543
03:36:43,080 --> 03:36:54,080
When it's finished, it's going to have four lanes of traffic, and there's actually going to be a reconfiguration of the Valley Hill Road exit.

2544
03:36:54,680 --> 03:37:01,680
I've seen the plan, it's very well thought out, it's very well laid out in order for, you know, to move forward.

2545
03:37:01,900 --> 03:37:08,920
And I think that I think it was mentioned that townhome plan on Highway 42, that actually fell through, right?

2546
03:37:08,920 --> 03:37:18,380
Yes, so the man the town home project that you were talking about on Highway 42 in Valley home. That actually it did not move forward

2547
03:37:18,380 --> 03:37:24,560
So and you could risk right there and not saying it something might not come there because things move forward

2548
03:37:24,560 --> 03:37:29,980
But that's some news that you probably sounds like you didn't know that the town home project and Highway 42 in

2549
03:37:30,000 --> 03:37:36,820
Early Hill is not moving forward at this point. So that's kind of where we are. But the city needs single

2550
03:37:36,820 --> 03:37:44,520
family detached homes. We do. And as we've said, we had a lot of town home communities, but certainly

2551
03:37:44,520 --> 03:37:51,180
we want to offer variety. And the last thing that I'm going to close by saying is, listen, in 2021,

2552
03:37:51,180 --> 03:37:58,880
When it was a different situation when we were in 2021, 2022, interest rates were 2%.

2553
03:37:58,880 --> 03:37:59,100
Right?

2554
03:37:59,780 --> 03:38:05,300
So as a builder, you might have built a very expensive house at 2% interest rate.

2555
03:38:06,040 --> 03:38:10,840
But now at 6% interest rate, the payment with in some instances be double.

2556
03:38:11,540 --> 03:38:17,220
So I can understand why there's been changes to the program because affordability is a real

2557
03:38:17,220 --> 03:38:17,500
issue.

2558
03:38:17,500 --> 03:38:24,340
because a $500,000 house at 6% interest is double the payment and it would be at 2%

2559
03:38:24,340 --> 03:38:29,700
interest. So understanding the affordability and building the smaller homes while maintaining

2560
03:38:29,700 --> 03:38:36,060
some of the larger homes at 5% interest rate, that's kind of where we are now. So single family

2561
03:38:36,060 --> 03:38:44,540
detached is what we need. Thank you. It's better. Thanks, Mayor. I just had follow up questions for Mr.

2562
03:38:44,540 --> 03:38:49,700
And so this was the builder based off some of the public comments.

2563
03:38:52,960 --> 03:38:59,760
So the amenities now include walking trail, playground, bridge,

2564
03:39:00,760 --> 03:39:01,800
picnic area.

2565
03:39:02,660 --> 03:39:08,020
And some of the legacy residents stated that the previous developer was willing to give them access

2566
03:39:08,020 --> 03:39:09,720
to the amenities.

2567
03:39:10,020 --> 03:39:13,160
Is that something that you guys are amenable to?

2568
03:39:21,390 --> 03:39:33,030
Yes sir, the amenities is in the back side, but it's open community, you know, and the amenities is open for the whole neighbors.

2569
03:39:34,170 --> 03:39:43,030
The first law job we have a gayed community in the first law job with 16 lots is a gayed community for that reason.

2570
03:39:43,030 --> 03:39:52,630
the community don't have access to the amenities and one of the reason to move the amenities to the

2571
03:39:52,630 --> 03:39:58,710
front is for the gated community. We remove the gated community, we leave our open road.

2572
03:40:00,430 --> 03:40:06,870
The amenities is for the whole neighbors and the community. So you don't have a problem with that at all?

2573
03:40:06,870 --> 03:40:07,690
No, sir.

2574
03:40:08,070 --> 03:40:13,590
All right, and then my next concern was one person brought up the proximity.

2575
03:40:13,590 --> 03:40:18,550
I know Mr. Anderson, you talked about the setbacks and the footage.

2576
03:40:19,270 --> 03:40:23,350
And so you also talked about offense being set up as well.

2577
03:40:23,650 --> 03:40:29,550
So if they would have access, how would they gain access with the fence and the,

2578
03:40:29,690 --> 03:40:32,370
and they would come through the main entrance through the front.

2579
03:40:33,530 --> 03:40:38,190
It will not be gated, but it will be finished just to separate the property.

2580
03:40:43,380 --> 03:40:44,260
Thank you.

2581
03:40:44,440 --> 03:40:50,080
Okay, there's no other questions there, and I guess in a sense, I need a motion to prove it or not.

2582
03:40:50,140 --> 03:40:52,040
Some of the property are approved.

2583
03:40:52,440 --> 03:40:55,700
Okay, from Ms. Gantham, I'm sorry, I'm on favor please.

2584
03:40:57,620 --> 03:40:58,060
Okay.

2585
03:40:58,560 --> 03:40:59,380
All posed?

2586
03:40:59,980 --> 03:41:00,780
I have posed.

2587
03:41:00,880 --> 03:41:01,340
All right.

2588
03:41:01,460 --> 03:41:03,400
A three-one motion pass.

2589
03:41:03,400 --> 03:41:10,600
Comment? Go ahead, please. I'm opposing this because I'm listening to the concern desires of the

2590
03:41:10,600 --> 03:41:18,340
neighbor who will be a close to this. I believe there is a health safety and welfare concern.

2591
03:41:19,240 --> 03:41:28,140
As the neighbors have experienced, practicing for the adjoining homeowners is also a concern.

2592
03:41:28,140 --> 03:41:36,500
I believe that this development, although the concepts are very nice, I believe the density,

2593
03:41:37,140 --> 03:41:43,080
the number of units, it is too high in my opinion.

2594
03:41:44,460 --> 03:41:45,300
Those are my thoughts.

2595
03:41:45,380 --> 03:41:50,740
I'm listening and I'm addressing the concerns of the neighbors who live there.

2596
03:41:51,200 --> 03:41:53,800
As a district representative of the area,

2597
03:41:53,800 --> 03:42:05,440
I had hoped that my council mates would consider the fact that I represent the area and I don't support this particular development with this amount of density.

2598
03:42:06,040 --> 03:42:12,720
I'd hope that they would have at least reduced the amount of units they did not.

2599
03:42:13,600 --> 03:42:14,940
So, I'd like a rest. Thank you, sir.

2600
03:42:15,540 --> 03:42:21,400
All right. So, make sure we had that condition in there that was 75 or 25.

2601
03:42:21,400 --> 03:42:42,780
Yes, we added it. Okay, thank you. All right, so on that note, once again the past three one and we'll move on so items number 10, 11 and 12 have been deferred till nine February 26. So we'll go to item number 13, which deals with the final reading and adoption proposed 2026 operating budget.

2602
03:42:42,780 --> 03:42:47,260
Capra and Prumus plan. Mr. Abbasin and Mr. Malazi, gentlemen,

2603
03:42:53,680 --> 03:42:54,700
and I guess congratulations

2604
03:42:54,700 --> 03:42:58,200
in the sense to the developer of your new project.

2605
03:43:20,030 --> 03:43:25,190
Good evening, once again Mayor Council and community. As we convene the final public

2606
03:43:25,190 --> 03:43:31,190
hearing this evening, I'm pleased to present for you consideration the physical year 26 proposed

2607
03:43:31,190 --> 03:43:38,650
operating in capital budget. The final budget balanced budget totals 74.1 million across all funds

2608
03:43:38,650 --> 03:43:44,890
include in general reform budget of 34.7 and reflects your priorities for responsible growth,

2609
03:43:45,290 --> 03:43:49,730
core service delivery, and long-term financial stability. This plan continues,

2610
03:43:50,390 --> 03:43:54,510
our commitment to stable governance on a millish rate of 3.77 meals,

2611
03:43:54,910 --> 03:43:59,530
maintains since 2023 without an increase to our residents, while building on the progress,

2612
03:43:59,770 --> 03:44:04,030
documented, and recent annual comprehensive financial reports. The fiscal year

2613
03:44:04,030 --> 03:44:11,310
226 budget advances a balance set of investments across organization and has public safety resources,

2614
03:44:11,790 --> 03:44:15,670
sprinted public works, and infrastructure with combined budgets increasing to approximately

2615
03:44:15,670 --> 03:44:20,730
644 million to address roads, sidewalks, facilities and parks.

2616
03:44:21,430 --> 03:44:26,090
Targeted technology upgrades to monitor our systems and cyber security, continuous support

2617
03:44:26,090 --> 03:44:30,250
for events and community programming that drive engagement and economic activity.

2618
03:44:30,250 --> 03:44:49,730
A full point of 4% cost to live in for all city employees, which is a critical investment in our workforce to help offset and fluid inflationary pressures maintain competitive compensation and a tight labor market and support retention, morale and continuity of high quality service to our residents.

2619
03:44:49,730 --> 03:44:59,970
In addition, this budget positions the city to events, major splash six capital projects, including the Community Development Center, City Hall.

2620
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:14,080
Myrmander's improvements in the public, the new public, maintenance facility, while sustaining a fund balance above best practices thresholds and leveraging the financial flexibility created by fully retiring the amphitheater bond.

2621
03:45:14,700 --> 03:45:27,620
Collectively, the fiscal year 26 budget is a forward-looking map roll map that protects our financial health, invest in core services and infrastructure and support a safe and vibrant prosperous stop bridge.

2622
03:45:27,620 --> 03:45:33,180
I respectfully recommend adoption following tonight's final public hearing and staying ready to answer

2623
03:45:33,180 --> 03:45:34,900
in the questions you may have.

2624
03:45:35,340 --> 03:45:39,980
I would also like to thank City staff for their hard work and a dedication throughout

2625
03:45:39,980 --> 03:45:45,420
the last three months and adopting this budget specifically to finance the department where

2626
03:45:45,420 --> 03:45:49,780
every change we understand that we have to go through the full budget and figure out what

2627
03:45:49,780 --> 03:45:53,620
those adjustments are coming from so we want to just thank staff and they hard work

2628
03:45:53,620 --> 03:45:59,540
time for the flexibility and responsiveness to this budget. So without further do Mr. Malazi?

2629
03:46:16,910 --> 03:46:17,770
Sorry to answer the question.

2630
03:46:22,980 --> 03:46:29,520
May I? This is our third and final budget to

2631
03:46:30,440 --> 03:46:37,180
public hearing and we will at the end of VT request for your consideration to adopt the budget

2632
03:46:37,180 --> 03:46:40,660
that will be due January 1, 2020, 6.

2633
03:46:43,760 --> 03:46:46,200
Nothing has changed in our general fund that's

2634
03:46:46,200 --> 03:46:58,760
at a 4,760,8690 and at the end of my summary, that's the amount with all the changes

2635
03:46:58,760 --> 03:47:05,460
that we have been having in a public hearing one, two and three.

2636
03:47:06,420 --> 03:47:10,560
That amount is the drive from the revenue that is projected.

2637
03:47:10,840 --> 03:47:16,180
So unless there is corresponding revenue somewhere else, our expenses will be within that

2638
03:47:16,180 --> 03:47:25,540
amount. And then the general total funds, that is general fund plus other funds, the total

2639
03:47:25,540 --> 03:47:36,000
and is 74,165,684, they are two reductions that we have done in the enterprise that

2640
03:47:36,000 --> 03:47:45,960
talk down the line. So revenues, expenses for general fund, 34, 7, 6, 8, 6, 9, and the

2641
03:47:45,960 --> 03:48:05,980
all funds, 74, 10, 165, 6, 6, 8, 4. Then I want to take time to see on the revenues. But I

2642
03:48:05,980 --> 03:48:17,260
transfers. There's 2.2 million. That's one time transfer. And this one time transfer,

2643
03:48:19,600 --> 03:48:25,280
consumer and Alexander touched it during the discussions. This is the money that is coming

2644
03:48:25,280 --> 03:48:36,340
from other fans, and specifically from plus, plus projects are for six years. So if we don't

2645
03:48:36,340 --> 03:48:40,900
track it properly, we'll find out that we want projects being done in two years if three

2646
03:48:40,900 --> 03:48:45,980
years. For those projects to be done, that means you have to take money from somewhere else

2647
03:48:45,980 --> 03:48:51,140
and most of the time it's general fund. Unfortunately, we don't account for that. We don't

2648
03:48:51,140 --> 03:48:56,180
go back to see how much money we have borrowed for those projects to be finished.

2649
03:48:56,740 --> 03:48:59,640
That's where that detransfuzz are coming from 2.2.

2650
03:48:59,900 --> 03:49:03,580
So just know that next year that money will not be there.

2651
03:49:05,480 --> 03:49:07,660
So it's one time.

2652
03:49:08,460 --> 03:49:11,120
Just want to make sure that we are aware of that.

2653
03:49:11,220 --> 03:49:15,200
So that money is there, but it's one time source of revenues.

2654
03:49:16,060 --> 03:49:24,000
That makes our budget to 32, 76 to 8, 6, 90, otherwise our budget would have been on 32 million.

2655
03:49:26,460 --> 03:49:28,340
That's the distribution of revenues.

2656
03:49:28,900 --> 03:49:32,380
It's the same that you have seen, but this is just on the pie chart.

2657
03:49:33,420 --> 03:49:37,740
And then this is the past history of where we have come from.

2658
03:49:37,740 --> 03:49:42,700
in the G20, when the 2, we were 15 million budget, 15.3,

2659
03:49:42,860 --> 03:49:52,720
20.23, it was the 24.8, and 20.4 is the 26.7, 20.25,

2660
03:49:54,000 --> 03:50:01,180
20.9.2, and now we are talking about 20.26 is the 32.74.

2661
03:50:01,600 --> 03:50:04,600
So that is showing the growth of the city.

2662
03:50:04,600 --> 03:50:16,000
Revenue is going up because the a lot of things that are taking place within the community, which is to the positive side and then we have

2663
03:50:16,000 --> 03:50:33,420
The distribution of that 34.7 million where it's going is going to do the task that have been listed here starting from governing body through other financing uses.

2664
03:50:33,420 --> 03:50:40,720
I want you to look at that amount of how much it's in there.

2665
03:50:43,540 --> 03:50:49,720
Then that's a general fund distribution, which is the same that we have come from.

2666
03:50:50,380 --> 03:50:56,760
And then we have other funds, including general funds at a 4.7.

2667
03:50:57,080 --> 03:51:01,280
Then we have total of 74.1 million.

2668
03:51:01,280 --> 03:51:09,200
And you see here there are some fans, these are active fans, all these ones are active fans,

2669
03:51:09,480 --> 03:51:16,440
but you see some of zero amount, zero amount confiscated assets is zero.

2670
03:51:17,060 --> 03:51:20,060
But during the course of the fiscal year, there may be activities.

2671
03:51:20,860 --> 03:51:28,360
So when you approve all these kinds of whatever may happen, we don't need to do budget

2672
03:51:28,360 --> 03:51:36,560
amendment as we have been doing because they are there. So, if you see the zillos, that means

2673
03:51:36,560 --> 03:51:42,440
they are no activities, but you never know 20 to 26 something will happen there.

2674
03:51:45,240 --> 03:51:52,300
These are the priorities that the Council has, community center, Tis++ projects, downtown

2675
03:51:52,300 --> 03:51:57,640
development, we're finding, I think is on the agenda today again, City Municipal Building,

2676
03:51:57,640 --> 03:52:07,240
Then we have highlights for 2020-26, a road and side walks improvements, public safety enhancement.

2677
03:52:07,800 --> 03:52:12,100
That's the set-light location for our public safety PD.

2678
03:52:12,700 --> 03:52:14,840
No increase in property tax.

2679
03:52:15,700 --> 03:52:16,580
That's for this year.

2680
03:52:16,720 --> 03:52:18,500
We can't talk about next year.

2681
03:52:18,960 --> 03:52:20,060
3.7 million.

2682
03:52:20,260 --> 03:52:22,520
That has been since 2020-23.

2683
03:52:22,840 --> 03:52:26,800
Community development, fiscal proposal for 2020-26,

2684
03:52:26,800 --> 03:52:28,420
See, that D has passed.

2685
03:52:30,000 --> 03:52:38,480
A quick phase have been a dormant for us, so we are expecting, come January 1, a phase will increase

2686
03:52:38,480 --> 03:52:49,140
the from services of community development. Then there's the 4% color for our employees, public

2687
03:52:49,140 --> 03:52:57,220
works, new facility is under construction, asymmetry improvements, that's the reason why they have

2688
03:52:57,220 --> 03:53:06,300
additional 10,000, so there's 20,000 for that are located from general fund to that fund.

2689
03:53:06,640 --> 03:53:09,540
Credit card payments face to be installed.

2690
03:53:09,840 --> 03:53:15,360
Thank you, Council, you have installed that one, so that you would be out of this one.

2691
03:53:17,080 --> 03:53:21,680
Then we went through this one, face to second.

2692
03:53:21,680 --> 03:53:32,160
the duty is please do read this one. Even after the budget has passed through, when we hear about governing body, what do they do?

2693
03:53:33,240 --> 03:53:46,680
That's our elected officials. You see here, their job, that's the plan, strategic plan, they give directions, they make the legislation for this city.

2694
03:53:46,680 --> 03:53:56,140
And then you have the city manager and other appointed and the staff to implement those policies and procedures.

2695
03:53:58,410 --> 03:54:00,250
Governing bodies still there.

2696
03:54:00,670 --> 03:54:04,990
We have supporting staff from the governing body for the governing body to function.

2697
03:54:05,250 --> 03:54:07,250
We have staff, we have executive assistant.

2698
03:54:07,830 --> 03:54:09,550
We have administrative assistant.

2699
03:54:10,290 --> 03:54:17,910
They provide the initiatives and various other duties for the council to function as it will be.

2700
03:54:17,910 --> 03:54:26,370
that is supported by administration appointed this staff and the staff of the city of

2701
03:54:26,370 --> 03:54:33,810
stop bridge. Then you have the city cracks office, you have the city cracks office again

2702
03:54:33,810 --> 03:54:43,290
for 2026 of a view. Then you have the city manager, the job of the city manager, go

2703
03:54:43,290 --> 03:54:51,550
through, we read through this once, but I'm just going over, what's the city managers office

2704
03:54:51,550 --> 03:54:58,850
do? Then you have the city treasures office, what do they do? What takes place? They are

2705
03:54:58,850 --> 03:55:03,610
finances under the city treasures office, and then you have community development.

2706
03:55:06,780 --> 03:55:07,260
We have

2707
03:55:07,260 --> 03:55:14,060
human resources, what is the job for that department, which is

2708
03:55:14,060 --> 03:55:17,880
municipal court, most of us, we know municipal court,

2709
03:55:18,040 --> 03:55:20,980
but if you know to some highlights, you can get them

2710
03:55:20,980 --> 03:55:24,200
on the 2025, yeah, in review,

2711
03:55:24,500 --> 03:55:28,700
then you have, what are the goals for 2026?

2712
03:55:30,000 --> 03:55:33,120
You have PD, department of review.

2713
03:55:33,120 --> 03:55:47,020
So this is public safe as again, public safe to OPD, then you have the 26 proposals of finding what are the activities that they are planning to do.

2714
03:55:47,340 --> 03:55:56,800
And that's the establishment of again, you know, we have a new satellite that is satellite office will be part of the initiatives or goes for 2026.

2715
03:55:58,560 --> 03:56:00,080
Public works,

2716
03:56:02,910 --> 03:56:04,830
IT information technology,

2717
03:56:08,020 --> 03:56:10,380
then the last one will have will be the events.

2718
03:56:12,600 --> 03:56:17,460
We have just passed the calendars or it's going to be passed or discussed.

2719
03:56:18,660 --> 03:56:28,540
The events, we have three events that are taking place throughout and the informed of what the department of events do.

2720
03:56:29,980 --> 03:56:35,720
Then I want us to also know the four million.

2721
03:56:36,300 --> 03:56:44,660
This four million is the one that is being transferred from general fund to fund the other funds for operations.

2722
03:56:46,060 --> 03:56:50,320
Similarly, it's 20,000, we discussed that one.

2723
03:56:50,680 --> 03:57:08,160
Then you have CDA, and the downtown development authority, a total of 435, where we have

2724
03:57:10,340 --> 03:57:20,580
306 for CDA, and then you have 68,000 for CDA, for a total of 405.

2725
03:57:21,960 --> 03:57:30,280
You are a, you know that is for our data payment, 1.2, then you have also PFA, that's for

2726
03:57:30,280 --> 03:57:43,800
another 1.5, then the last one is the 840, this is the transfer from general fund to amphitheater.

2727
03:57:44,700 --> 03:57:55,480
If you saw the budget for amphitheater is 3 million, and out of that 3 million, they are projecting to get revenues.

2728
03:57:55,480 --> 03:58:05,560
and the shortfall would be 840, if the expenses were limited to that 3 million, if the expenses

2729
03:58:05,560 --> 03:58:12,540
would be 3 million, then that would be different. But as of now projected the transfer

2730
03:58:12,540 --> 03:58:19,080
from general fund for 20 to 26 is 840. For a total of 4 million, that is being transferred

2731
03:58:19,080 --> 03:58:23,880
from general fund to fund other funds for operations.

2732
03:58:25,500 --> 03:58:29,440
Then the summary on summary of general fund,

2733
03:58:30,200 --> 03:58:35,300
which is the 304.7 million proposed expenses,

2734
03:58:35,640 --> 03:58:38,180
including additional expenses or changes,

2735
03:58:38,920 --> 03:58:43,920
to expenses cannot be more than a 34.7 million.

2736
03:58:43,920 --> 03:58:50,200
This is the now under Council's consideration for approval.

2737
03:58:51,220 --> 03:58:54,540
If there would be additional expenses to general fund,

2738
03:58:54,800 --> 03:58:57,480
then we need to get corresponding expenses.

2739
03:58:59,160 --> 03:59:02,340
Number two, all other funds including general fund,

2740
03:59:02,580 --> 03:59:07,400
all fund, 2026 proposed budget are in balance.

2741
03:59:07,400 --> 03:59:18,800
Stormwater expenses have been reduced by 173,500 to be in line with estimated revenues.

2742
03:59:19,940 --> 03:59:26,080
Water expenses have been reduced by 487,940.

2743
03:59:26,620 --> 03:59:32,140
Stormwater and stormwater budgets had revenue from reserve.

2744
03:59:32,140 --> 03:59:52,200
So I'm discussing here, we have already discussed with the public works director of how we are going to resolve this once because you cannot budget operations from reserves, just know that reserve is always one time funding.

2745
03:59:52,720 --> 03:59:59,980
Next year it will not be there, next year it will not be there, so we have gone through if they will have problems with it.

2746
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:08,600
Capital projects, yes, we can use, because Capital projects funding either from reserve or other still be one time.

2747
04:00:09,940 --> 04:00:19,020
So, my request is to approve the consider approving the general fund, set of 4.7,

2748
04:00:19,020 --> 04:00:34,820
And the other fans, totaling 74.8, a 74.1 million, not 74.8 million.

2749
04:00:42,080 --> 04:00:45,580
Question Council for Mr. Milazzo, Mr. Emerson?

2750
04:00:46,720 --> 04:00:47,980
Go ahead, sir. Mr. Berr?

2751
04:00:48,580 --> 04:00:49,500
Mr. Emerson?

2752
04:00:50,040 --> 04:00:51,500
No. Mr. Milazzi.

2753
04:00:51,500 --> 04:00:58,580
We talked about the amphitheater fund on a couple of different touch points.

2754
04:00:59,300 --> 04:01:07,340
You said the initial budget was 3 million, but then you spoke on a transfer of shortfall

2755
04:01:07,340 --> 04:01:09,720
of 840,000 dollars.

2756
04:01:10,420 --> 04:01:17,600
So I'm clear that there are projecting that what they need in 2020 to 26 will be 3 million.

2757
04:01:17,600 --> 04:01:27,000
out of that, they will have expenses, revenues, that's from tickets, from home,

2758
04:01:29,180 --> 04:01:34,460
sponsorships, and remember they said money just said that this will be

2759
04:01:34,460 --> 04:01:39,100
year-round activities, so there are some activities where they will get money.

2760
04:01:40,140 --> 04:01:43,720
We have a number, we've always exceeded the number in the past, correct?

2761
04:01:43,720 --> 04:01:57,040
Um, that's the system and it's just something just besides me here, I think he may explain and we have, yeah, yeah, I'm

2762
04:02:07,090 --> 04:02:23,630
not in agreement with short changing we're not going to, I say we do what is expected to do, but it's at 4.5, it's at 4.5, it's a facility that if you do the data or statistics,

2763
04:02:23,770 --> 04:02:29,830
on what it takes to run something. I don't want to shoot us in a foot and go back with this

2764
04:02:29,830 --> 04:02:37,330
mismanagement of funds on a budget that we, yes, we can amend it. And people, you know,

2765
04:02:37,490 --> 04:02:47,150
use campaign stuff or a remote screen, but make sure that it's the ample amount of money that is

2766
04:02:47,150 --> 04:02:55,150
needed to run the facility without someone saying, oh, they're just spending all this money

2767
04:02:55,150 --> 04:03:00,770
on the amp of their. And the reason I say that is because it's hate, it cost money to run

2768
04:03:00,770 --> 04:03:08,070
facilities, cost money to run any facility. So I don't want to short change us. And if it costs

2769
04:03:08,070 --> 04:03:15,370
4.5 normally, then that's what it needs to be. If that's the case. And it's not all their

2770
04:03:15,370 --> 04:03:20,810
to bank their, you know, they're just spending all this money and amphitheater. Not we have a plan

2771
04:03:20,810 --> 04:03:28,970
in place to have shows that might sell more or based off the studies of what you look at. But I

2772
04:03:28,970 --> 04:03:38,170
don't want us saying, over just trash and money, they went over budget again. You know, and I'm going

2773
04:03:38,170 --> 04:03:44,730
to make it really clear again, budgets. No, they're not meant to go over. They're, they're a map,

2774
04:03:44,730 --> 04:03:49,150
a road map, but they're not illegal, and nobody's doing anything criminal when they do go over.

2775
04:03:50,750 --> 04:03:57,090
It's scaling, like any other business or any other thing that people do, or when they buy stock

2776
04:03:57,090 --> 04:04:02,330
and sometimes it goes down and sometimes it goes up and sometimes it doesn't do what it's supposed

2777
04:04:02,330 --> 04:04:10,290
to do that year, or somebody in the higher-ups of government says one thing, and then all of a

2778
04:04:10,290 --> 04:04:14,650
And, you know, all the stock is flat.

2779
04:04:15,070 --> 04:04:16,630
It's the same thing with a budget.

2780
04:04:18,190 --> 04:04:25,830
So we need to stop that narrative in the drama behind it.

2781
04:04:25,970 --> 04:04:28,250
And if it's 4.5 million,

2782
04:04:28,890 --> 04:04:32,470
or whatever, it's cost to run professionally,

2783
04:04:32,950 --> 04:04:36,490
the way we need to do with whatever building we have,

2784
04:04:36,850 --> 04:04:38,130
and that's what we need to do.

2785
04:04:38,130 --> 04:04:40,730
So long as we're not going broke doing it.

2786
04:04:43,360 --> 04:04:44,500
It's not so quick, please.

2787
04:04:44,680 --> 04:04:45,340
Let me say this.

2788
04:04:45,480 --> 04:04:49,560
I want to 100% echo and I know what Mr. Barry was trying to go.

2789
04:04:49,980 --> 04:04:53,760
We're going to set ourselves up for $3 million budget.

2790
04:04:53,880 --> 04:04:55,440
No one that that's not adequate.

2791
04:04:56,160 --> 04:04:58,720
And then in the end, all we're going to hear about is,

2792
04:04:58,840 --> 04:05:01,400
ah, they went over budget again.

2793
04:05:01,560 --> 04:05:06,220
No, we know that last year we spent what.

2794
04:05:07,260 --> 04:05:11,940
Mr. Malaw, the way we spend on every deal of buildings, 4.4, I think I see here.

2795
04:05:12,960 --> 04:05:18,120
So last year, if you sell last year, that's 224, we spent the 8.1.

2796
04:05:18,340 --> 04:05:22,760
So in 225, 25 is projected the 4.4.

2797
04:05:23,080 --> 04:05:24,060
Right, 4.4.

2798
04:05:24,220 --> 04:05:28,020
The 4.4 schedule was a scale back.

2799
04:05:28,200 --> 04:05:30,080
How many shows that we do?

2800
04:05:30,100 --> 04:05:31,300
How many shows that we do?

2801
04:05:31,300 --> 04:05:36,480
We have to, can you come up, is that okay Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr.

2802
04:05:36,480 --> 04:05:38,340
Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Can you come up?

2803
04:05:47,880 --> 04:05:52,540
Do you know how many shows that we did even this year period?

2804
04:05:53,200 --> 04:05:55,760
Just how many paid concerts did we do?

2805
04:05:56,240 --> 04:05:57,120
I think about 10.

2806
04:05:57,680 --> 04:05:59,760
Right. We did 10 paid concerts.

2807
04:06:00,880 --> 04:06:03,980
There's 365 days in the year.

2808
04:06:04,440 --> 04:06:09,620
We only did 10 and we spent 4.4 million dollars on the 4.4.

2809
04:06:09,620 --> 04:06:15,420
I think we could have got more out of the 4.4 than the 10 and I'm not 40 in the figure

2810
04:06:15,420 --> 04:06:18,500
at you, Ms. Web, and you can have a seat now.

2811
04:06:18,920 --> 04:06:27,040
I just wanted to get that clarify, is that on a scale-back schedule where we only did 10 concerts

2812
04:06:27,040 --> 04:06:31,180
all year at a $20 million facility we spent 4.4.

2813
04:06:31,280 --> 04:06:36,460
What I want us to do is to get ahead of the game, I want us to spend the necessary dollars

2814
04:06:36,460 --> 04:06:43,340
to book the maximum amount of concerts that we can do based on this budget that we did in the previous year.

2815
04:06:43,660 --> 04:06:49,100
We've never been under that number. That's the lowest number that we've had and how that we get there.

2816
04:06:49,500 --> 04:06:58,480
We really kind of damaged our reputation by canceling concerts and then going back changing the schedule.

2817
04:06:58,820 --> 04:07:02,780
That's not what we want to be known for. We want to be known for booking the shows,

2818
04:07:02,780 --> 04:07:08,880
Standing behind our commitment was unfortunate that we had, you know, a change over in the middle of the year.

2819
04:07:09,300 --> 04:07:13,580
Whoever the provider is that we bring in, we're going to give them this budget.

2820
04:07:13,840 --> 04:07:17,220
They're going to stick to this budget and that's it. That's what we're going to do.

2821
04:07:17,800 --> 04:07:22,360
And I want everybody coming back to us saying, well, this happened to that happen.

2822
04:07:22,960 --> 04:07:29,020
When the reports are supposed to come two weeks out of the show, we expect the reports to come two weeks out of the show.

2823
04:07:29,480 --> 04:07:29,960
Miss Melissa.

2824
04:07:30,000 --> 04:07:35,780
In his team will be responsible for the finances, just like they were, this is amazing. When Mr.

2825
04:07:35,900 --> 04:07:46,960
Malaisi was in charge of the expenses this year, they actually came down, right? They came down, because we had a solid, you know,

2826
04:07:46,960 --> 04:07:52,860
friend where he was following up on the money that was going out, who was getting paid, what was going to happen?

2827
04:07:52,860 --> 04:07:57,460
Those vendors need to be vetted as we've agreed to do right, Mr. Malazin.

2828
04:07:57,860 --> 04:07:59,640
Every city vendor will be vetted.

2829
04:08:00,160 --> 04:08:03,760
We'll make sure that those amounts are going out or appropriate.

2830
04:08:04,660 --> 04:08:08,420
But we did make progress this year where the budget came down.

2831
04:08:08,720 --> 04:08:11,980
But Mr. Emerson, you have said to me,

2832
04:08:12,340 --> 04:08:16,080
and I believe that in I bought into it 100% which was

2833
04:08:16,080 --> 04:08:20,200
the halo effect of the amphitheater.

2834
04:08:20,200 --> 04:08:23,060
We have no idea, but we went to Verlington.

2835
04:08:23,140 --> 04:08:24,320
We went to the Riven Cutting.

2836
04:08:24,860 --> 04:08:28,880
We have no idea, but we went to the first watch Riven Cutting.

2837
04:08:29,320 --> 04:08:32,680
We have no idea, but Tim Horton's coffee is coming here.

2838
04:08:32,800 --> 04:08:34,440
Seven brewers coming over there.

2839
04:08:34,600 --> 04:08:36,060
Crown pizza is thriving.

2840
04:08:36,420 --> 04:08:37,960
Frozen smoke is doing well.

2841
04:08:38,280 --> 04:08:39,200
ABA therapy.

2842
04:08:39,440 --> 04:08:43,400
We just had a brilliant Riven Cutting at burn boot camp, right, Mary?

2843
04:08:43,500 --> 04:08:43,860
Absolutely.

2844
04:08:44,460 --> 04:08:47,200
Those businesses are happening by accident.

2845
04:08:47,200 --> 04:08:51,000
They are a halo effect of the money that was vending.

2846
04:08:51,480 --> 04:08:54,300
Now, I look at it on a macro scale to look at,

2847
04:08:54,300 --> 04:08:56,100
look at true as part, right?

2848
04:08:56,520 --> 04:09:03,080
I'll fit $700 million project that the county invested $400 million in, right?

2849
04:09:03,560 --> 04:09:09,760
Now, the halo effect around that has been a billion dollars in economic development created.

2850
04:09:09,920 --> 04:09:11,520
Of course, we're micro.

2851
04:09:12,260 --> 04:09:13,020
We're not there.

2852
04:09:13,020 --> 04:09:21,580
But we can look and see at what is happening right all around us with the new businesses that are populating our area

2853
04:09:21,580 --> 04:09:27,820
And we have a ribbon cutting now almost every week. Well, we first started. I don't know you all when you're first started

2854
04:09:27,820 --> 04:09:29,900
Ribbon cut is where a rare curse

2855
04:09:29,900 --> 04:09:32,240
What they were very rare

2856
04:09:32,240 --> 04:09:40,540
Now we have all the time and people are knocking on the door that can I mean development Ryan is as busy as possible and he tells us all the time

2857
04:09:40,540 --> 04:09:43,320
His department is driving the revenue, right?

2858
04:09:44,400 --> 04:09:46,900
His department is making revenue right in the left.

2859
04:09:47,440 --> 04:09:49,280
And so many more businesses are coming.

2860
04:09:49,720 --> 04:09:51,540
So I want to do the appropriate thing.

2861
04:09:51,540 --> 04:09:52,640
I call it investment.

2862
04:09:53,100 --> 04:09:56,900
We invested in ourselves in the $22.5 million facility.

2863
04:09:57,200 --> 04:09:58,160
We paid it off.

2864
04:09:58,740 --> 04:10:01,940
We have got the economic momentum now.

2865
04:10:01,980 --> 04:10:04,360
I don't want to do anything to step on it.

2866
04:10:04,520 --> 04:10:06,900
10 concerts stepped on it this year.

2867
04:10:07,560 --> 04:10:08,660
We want to use that amount.

2868
04:10:08,660 --> 04:10:15,180
But we want to get a better deal based on what we're paying the artists and the requirements.

2869
04:10:15,380 --> 04:10:20,000
And we understand now with the way the economy is going and ticket sales are going.

2870
04:10:20,260 --> 04:10:24,780
These artists should be charging less. They should be charging less.

2871
04:10:25,000 --> 04:10:28,140
Based on the way ticket sales are going not just with us,

2872
04:10:28,220 --> 04:10:31,240
but with all the facilities that are not selling out.

2873
04:10:31,280 --> 04:10:34,560
Because of the ticket prices have really gotten out of hand.

2874
04:10:34,560 --> 04:10:40,820
So let's look at it, examine it, and whoever the provider is that we bring in from the RFP.

2875
04:10:41,140 --> 04:10:46,560
We need to hold them to this budget that we had this past year at about 4.5.

2876
04:10:47,020 --> 04:10:49,520
You know, that would be my recommendation.

2877
04:10:53,760 --> 04:10:54,080
You got it.

2878
04:10:54,200 --> 04:10:55,220
Come on, sir.

2879
04:10:56,100 --> 04:10:56,240
Okay.

2880
04:10:56,280 --> 04:10:57,660
Go ahead, Mr. Emerson.

2881
04:10:57,960 --> 04:10:59,720
What do you got to respond to that, I guess?

2882
04:11:04,110 --> 04:11:08,770
So, um, when we was going over this, trying to find the funding,

2883
04:11:09,950 --> 04:11:15,370
We was going back and forth and Mr. Malazee was able to find the funding for that particular budget.

2884
04:11:16,250 --> 04:11:19,990
But what we did, we kind of looked at it and all those points that I'll make are valid.

2885
04:11:20,510 --> 04:11:21,510
Those points are valid.

2886
04:11:22,270 --> 04:11:27,310
But another thing that we looked at, we looked at the approach that we have been using for the last three years.

2887
04:11:27,430 --> 04:11:29,890
And we just thought that approach was not sustainable.

2888
04:11:31,390 --> 04:11:36,910
For instance, we did a flat ticket pricing for all acts.

2889
04:11:38,190 --> 04:11:44,290
The same price used regardless of the artist profile, the demand, the data we, how demand

2890
04:11:44,290 --> 04:11:45,910
acts was underpriced.

2891
04:11:46,530 --> 04:11:50,570
We lost revenue on that, enterprise and name, but Jennifer and practice.

2892
04:11:51,770 --> 04:11:58,710
We had that the whole intent was to create an enterprise, but the model that we was currently

2893
04:11:58,710 --> 04:12:03,970
using did not produce the enterprise amount of money that we was trying to produce.

2894
04:12:04,130 --> 04:12:06,530
So what we're trying to do is something a little bit different this year.

2895
04:12:06,530 --> 04:12:08,170
what completely different this year,

2896
04:12:08,490 --> 04:12:11,370
to drive that revenue in that we've been talking about,

2897
04:12:11,570 --> 04:12:12,730
while still maintaining the quality

2898
04:12:12,730 --> 04:12:14,910
of the shows and things that we do have.

2899
04:12:15,550 --> 04:12:18,570
So we understand the 2.6 that have been budget previously

2900
04:12:18,570 --> 04:12:24,750
has been insufficient, because it just wasn't a way

2901
04:12:24,750 --> 04:12:26,750
to kickstart enterprise for it.

2902
04:12:27,470 --> 04:12:29,570
So one thing that we have been doing

2903
04:12:29,570 --> 04:12:31,530
and consider for instance,

2904
04:12:31,650 --> 04:12:35,130
we are switching our ticketing from first ticks

2905
04:12:35,130 --> 04:12:37,410
to Ticketmaster.

2906
04:12:37,910 --> 04:12:40,290
We understand that in itself is huge.

2907
04:12:40,470 --> 04:12:43,710
When it comes to identifying shows and acts in the region,

2908
04:12:44,410 --> 04:12:46,190
we believe that's going to be a game changer.

2909
04:12:48,290 --> 04:12:50,770
Teeer ticketing, multi-year promoter agreements,

2910
04:12:51,670 --> 04:12:53,150
clear revenue, risk sharing,

2911
04:12:53,750 --> 04:12:55,130
structures, sponsorships,

2912
04:12:55,470 --> 04:12:57,270
being intentional about those things,

2913
04:12:57,430 --> 04:13:00,230
making sure that 40% of the Ticket sales

2914
04:13:00,230 --> 04:13:03,130
and Ticket's cover all the calls of the amphitheater

2915
04:13:03,130 --> 04:13:06,490
why we are looking at the other 60% as revenue.

2916
04:13:07,150 --> 04:13:08,550
So just different models in itself,

2917
04:13:08,650 --> 04:13:10,410
in that way, and just approach to it,

2918
04:13:10,670 --> 04:13:13,930
we believe that we're getting more momentum

2919
04:13:13,930 --> 04:13:17,110
than we had before, just change in the model.

2920
04:13:25,390 --> 04:13:27,890
We are being very intentional about the acts

2921
04:13:27,890 --> 04:13:29,170
and things that we bring in back.

2922
04:13:29,190 --> 04:13:30,690
We looked at historical things.

2923
04:13:30,970 --> 04:13:32,530
Some shows that's rare, successful.

2924
04:13:32,750 --> 04:13:34,590
We looked at things that in the area,

2925
04:13:35,270 --> 04:13:38,630
doing samples and looking at different recommendations.

2926
04:13:39,190 --> 04:13:44,970
And we came up with a proposed list for 2026, just based off the responses and things that

2927
04:13:44,970 --> 04:13:51,050
we get and we believe that if we bring in the right people and market it well, align

2928
04:13:51,050 --> 04:13:55,770
ourselves with great marketers and the industry that we can get to where we try to go.

2929
04:13:57,390 --> 04:14:02,770
Marketing killed us, our approach to it and being intentional and getting follow up on what

2930
04:14:02,770 --> 04:14:10,230
numbers look like. We believe now that we have a definitely a plan for that when it comes to marketing

2931
04:14:10,230 --> 04:14:15,590
and getting the word out and getting the community involved in that. That's a big approach that

2932
04:14:15,590 --> 04:14:21,290
we're taking this year that we believe will have tremendous return back on that. Just break down if we

2933
04:14:21,290 --> 04:14:29,550
talk a look at the actual breakdown of 3600 seats, that aperture that's in there, it removes 225 seats.

2934
04:14:29,550 --> 04:14:43,790
So right now we are investing in air and removing that so we moving that area lower so that the audio and the production thing is lower and it's it's level set with the seat so that we can open up additional 250 seats.

2935
04:14:44,930 --> 04:14:53,030
Through the last rental that we had that was a big big thing and that's another reason why I didn't so a lot because of the tent that we had that block the view on scrub the view.

2936
04:14:53,030 --> 04:14:58,050
So that in itself, add and know the additional 250 seats is game-changer.

2937
04:14:58,550 --> 04:14:59,970
So a small thing is a scene small.

2938
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:05,200
On the surface, but it's a huge return when we talk about the approach that we're trying to do this

2939
04:15:05,200 --> 04:15:09,560
particular year and trying to bring in some of those revenues, sponsorships, things of that

2940
04:15:09,560 --> 04:15:14,980
nature and getting the word out. Once again, we talk about, hey, why are people not hearing

2941
04:15:14,980 --> 04:15:19,300
about us? If people don't understand it, you're not reaching those audience by being on those platforms

2942
04:15:19,300 --> 04:15:25,760
that market concerts and things of that nature, you'd never reach the level to enterprise. And we just

2943
04:15:25,760 --> 04:15:27,800
that those different measures that we're talking about,

2944
04:15:27,920 --> 04:15:31,420
this year's system, changing our ticketing system,

2945
04:15:31,860 --> 04:15:34,160
bringing in real good sponsorships, partnerships,

2946
04:15:35,280 --> 04:15:38,420
that long-term investments, just like we did with Vastar,

2947
04:15:38,700 --> 04:15:40,700
we think is a definitely way to go to bring in

2948
04:15:40,700 --> 04:15:42,440
some of that revenue that we're talking about.

2949
04:15:44,340 --> 04:15:47,120
So that's just kind of the approach that we was thinking about,

2950
04:15:47,200 --> 04:15:50,220
looking at doing the numbers, crunching the numbers,

2951
04:15:50,780 --> 04:15:52,880
and saying that, hey, we do this model right here.

2952
04:15:52,900 --> 04:15:55,080
This is the return that we anticipate to get.

2953
04:15:55,080 --> 04:15:57,120
just by this particular model.

2954
04:15:58,740 --> 04:16:01,500
So we talked to every scenario, once again,

2955
04:16:02,540 --> 04:16:07,380
I only could go by what stuff that we do have

2956
04:16:07,380 --> 04:16:09,320
of Illinois in regards to finance.

2957
04:16:09,580 --> 04:16:11,220
I've been working closely with Mr. Malazzi

2958
04:16:11,220 --> 04:16:13,600
on trying to find them additional funding,

2959
04:16:13,980 --> 04:16:16,940
but we just believe with this method right here

2960
04:16:16,940 --> 04:16:19,220
where we at right now can do it.

2961
04:16:19,480 --> 04:16:20,620
And once again, there's just something

2962
04:16:20,620 --> 04:16:23,360
that we never done before, but once again,

2963
04:16:23,360 --> 04:16:25,100
is trying to do something different

2964
04:16:25,100 --> 04:16:28,260
that we never done before to get a better return back.

2965
04:16:28,980 --> 04:16:32,080
But once again, if that's the wish of the council,

2966
04:16:32,260 --> 04:16:34,580
we go back to the drawing board and figure that out.

2967
04:16:34,940 --> 04:16:37,860
I'll say before you mention about the production set,

2968
04:16:37,860 --> 04:16:39,860
the production sound team and lower and everything.

2969
04:16:41,680 --> 04:16:44,260
I'm assuming, well, not sure to assume.

2970
04:16:44,700 --> 04:16:48,280
I mean, I think along the lines that ACRUS will come

2971
04:16:48,280 --> 04:16:51,900
and book before, so I'm assuming that I go assuming again,

2972
04:16:51,900 --> 04:17:00,100
that you would go down to get the right folks, I guess, to reduce it or shrink it to or whatever

2973
04:17:00,100 --> 04:17:03,800
in the case, because shrink is struck. Since they built it for us, I would imagine they have

2974
04:17:03,800 --> 04:17:10,180
all the right personnel or contacts to do that with. Right, we had a couple of engineers and

2975
04:17:10,180 --> 04:17:15,140
people come out and look at it and they thought, hey, digging down versus up is the best course

2976
04:17:15,140 --> 04:17:19,060
of action. Of course there are some issues talking about the runoff, looking at the different

2977
04:17:19,060 --> 04:17:24,440
and that we have. But we believe the amount of that we're going to invest in doing that one

2978
04:17:24,440 --> 04:17:30,120
particular change would be a good return because you opened up an additional 250 seats. So

2979
04:17:30,120 --> 04:17:37,260
that's a big thing. Also the Rimmons, we was renting equipment every single show instead of owning

2980
04:17:37,260 --> 04:17:41,860
that equipment. So that's a huge turnaround as well because when we talking about the 360 model

2981
04:17:41,860 --> 04:17:47,660
that we are proposing, which opens it up to other venues, renting it out for graduations,

2982
04:17:48,700 --> 04:17:50,600
different organization, have innate,

2983
04:17:51,140 --> 04:17:54,420
they official events here is what we're marketing.

2984
04:17:54,840 --> 04:17:56,840
There's a demand for it right now.

2985
04:17:56,920 --> 04:17:59,160
Atlanta's over saturated with area and space.

2986
04:17:59,420 --> 04:18:01,540
People are looking for different venues to rent out.

2987
04:18:01,800 --> 04:18:03,660
So that's a different model that we look at as well.

2988
04:18:03,740 --> 04:18:06,260
But we have to own the stuff that we've been renting,

2989
04:18:06,440 --> 04:18:09,200
which is a lot of money just in rentals year after year.

2990
04:18:09,620 --> 04:18:10,840
We bought it 10 times over.

2991
04:18:11,140 --> 04:18:12,960
So this time, we just trying to do something different

2992
04:18:12,960 --> 04:18:15,260
and looking at the expenses and things that we have

2993
04:18:15,260 --> 04:18:19,880
money on and saying, let's invest it, let's buy it, and then just make that a part of

2994
04:18:19,880 --> 04:18:25,060
packet. So when people do rent it out, it's a package deal. And it's a return on your investment.

2995
04:18:26,260 --> 04:18:31,900
So the equipment that you need, we need to buy. It's not part of this potential 45. No, we have it in the

2996
04:18:31,900 --> 04:18:38,980
budget and this budget as well. Okay. All right. Not a part of the three million. We have a maintenance budget.

2997
04:18:39,860 --> 04:18:42,720
when infrastructure and building correct.

2998
04:18:43,500 --> 04:18:45,000
I'm sorry, back up.

2999
04:18:45,000 --> 04:18:47,180
I was going to ask was this strictly operation.

3000
04:18:48,580 --> 04:18:50,880
Right, this right here, yes.

3001
04:18:51,280 --> 04:18:54,140
Yeah, no, I'm no confused right now.

3002
04:18:54,220 --> 04:18:56,540
I thought you talked about originally 3 million,

3003
04:18:56,900 --> 04:18:58,840
but what we've been recently discussing

3004
04:18:58,840 --> 04:19:02,480
five needs to be something similar to what had happened last year

3005
04:19:02,480 --> 04:19:05,220
by 45, by 4.5 million, I thought.

3006
04:19:06,020 --> 04:19:07,220
That's why I thought I heard.

3007
04:19:09,450 --> 04:19:16,790
Yes. So if this is operation, what is the line I'm or the, and similar, my God, what is the

3008
04:19:16,790 --> 04:19:23,850
line item for the andcillary materials? Billionate maintenance facility. Okay. Yeah,

3009
04:19:23,890 --> 04:19:28,410
because we understand that, of course, it requires upgrades. I'll offer facilities required

3010
04:19:28,410 --> 04:19:33,170
that maintenance upgrades. So we did look at the calls that it would calls to kind of do some

3011
04:19:33,170 --> 04:19:38,150
minor adjustments and upgrades and that, and that's going to be a part of it. Outside of this

3012
04:19:38,150 --> 04:19:42,030
million, which is strictly operating calls for that.

3013
04:19:43,090 --> 04:19:49,230
You keep saying three million here. We need four, four, five.

3014
04:19:49,590 --> 04:19:54,990
But let me just say this, we want to set the target.

3015
04:19:55,630 --> 04:19:58,650
But the one thing that we've been missing, I don't know.

3016
04:19:58,690 --> 04:20:01,970
Do we need to put our RLP out for somebody to define a sponsor?

3017
04:20:02,790 --> 04:20:06,310
With the great press and everything that we have gotten for this facility.

3018
04:20:07,230 --> 04:20:15,110
And the type I asked that we came in, we should have a multitude of sponsors for this event.

3019
04:20:15,730 --> 04:20:24,450
And then I think even for the city events team, we need to have somebody out there working on sponsorships because we're not getting it done.

3020
04:20:24,830 --> 04:20:25,750
I'm sorry, we're not.

3021
04:20:26,330 --> 04:20:30,810
Somebody should have their name on the Fourth of July event with 10,000 people.

3022
04:20:30,810 --> 04:20:34,590
If we talk to the right people, somebody will put their name on their 10th house.

3023
04:20:34,910 --> 04:20:37,730
Somebody will put their name on Bridge Fist, right?

3024
04:20:38,450 --> 04:20:41,790
These Juneteenth, I honestly say,

3025
04:20:42,250 --> 04:20:46,470
despite starting out with Councilman Thomas and the council we had with the previous administration,

3026
04:20:46,950 --> 04:20:50,710
to bring it from the part to the amphitheater.

3027
04:20:51,850 --> 04:20:56,250
That is one of the best Juneteenth events in the country.

3028
04:20:57,030 --> 04:21:03,490
somebody will sponsor that. All of it, not us. And that's what a key is going to be

3029
04:21:03,490 --> 04:21:08,510
right there. So, and that was, I think, was the biggest downfall in our previous model

3030
04:21:08,510 --> 04:21:14,330
is that we had tried to do this one shop, stop shop thing, where the one person will

3031
04:21:14,330 --> 04:21:19,670
or the organization was in charge of everything, including marketing, marketing with the

3032
04:21:19,670 --> 04:21:24,570
ticket master will be better. But we need to have a dedicated organization out there chasing

3033
04:21:24,570 --> 04:21:29,710
down sponsorships for us, maybe they get paid on part of the sponsorships that they bring

3034
04:21:29,710 --> 04:21:30,190
in.

3035
04:21:30,350 --> 04:21:36,490
But the sponsorship money is the big ex that's missing from the quotient and I'll assure you

3036
04:21:36,490 --> 04:21:40,230
those dollars are out there, especially with all the employees that we're bringing the

3037
04:21:40,230 --> 04:21:40,550
town.

3038
04:21:41,110 --> 04:21:45,650
And the one thing that I would like to see is do, and then as I see Clayton County doing it all

3039
04:21:45,650 --> 04:21:52,050
the time, I see Clayton County government and the Jonesboro Ampathy at a working together

3040
04:21:52,050 --> 04:21:53,010
all the time.

3041
04:21:53,010 --> 04:21:58,990
that's the relationship that we need to get going with Henry County. So the Henry County is having

3042
04:21:58,990 --> 04:22:07,150
shows at the amphitheater as well through the IGA agreement and then partnering with us because

3043
04:22:07,150 --> 04:22:13,830
the tourism benefits all of us, not just the city of Stockbridge. So those relationships need to happen.

3044
04:22:14,330 --> 04:22:18,930
So whatever we need to do to make that happen but I'm committed tonight, we're not leaving here

3045
04:22:18,930 --> 04:22:25,630
three million dollar budget after we've been failed at 2.6 which is so close. We got to have

3046
04:22:25,630 --> 04:22:27,370
an adequate budget to make that happen.

3047
04:22:31,170 --> 04:22:37,190
Mr. Emerson, look to choose Mr. Frank, so I don't know. You need something you need to add.

3048
04:22:37,370 --> 04:22:41,090
I called me to speak, so I'm going to speak. Excuse me? He asked me to speak.

3049
04:22:41,290 --> 04:22:45,250
Yeah, just so. I'm thinking where to start from.

3050
04:22:45,910 --> 04:22:46,970
He's breaking one out.

3051
04:22:47,170 --> 04:22:49,170
I'm thinking where to start from.

3052
04:22:49,830 --> 04:22:52,970
You know, you got one word after another.

3053
04:22:53,330 --> 04:22:53,690
That's what?

3054
04:22:54,110 --> 04:22:58,950
So, three million out of the three million that he proposed.

3055
04:23:00,630 --> 04:23:08,670
With the 4003 million, that means the amphitheater was generated to 2.1 million

3056
04:23:10,840 --> 04:23:12,600
plus 84,

3057
04:23:13,000 --> 04:23:20,020
it was coming to 3 million total, which you are saying is not realistic seeing with what

3058
04:23:20,020 --> 04:23:22,880
has happened, it will not be.

3059
04:23:24,160 --> 04:23:29,460
That means the general fund has to come up with the 2.3.

3060
04:23:30,810 --> 04:23:55,210
Our request, this is my suggestion, our request, you approve the budget as it is, with your intention to go to 4.25, then let him rework massage, where to move money to make up for that difference of 1.5, because now we are short of 1.5.

3061
04:23:55,210 --> 04:24:05,690
And the mind that they have now, if he was asking for the E, definitely by the need of the E, he will still have that.

3062
04:24:06,170 --> 04:24:14,590
But I think it will take time to sit down and see how we can move money because we are not increasing revenues.

3063
04:24:14,930 --> 04:24:17,330
They have to come from general find to find that.

3064
04:24:17,330 --> 04:24:25,370
Okay, so if we haven't agreed that perhaps we agreed to you will set we have to have another form of meeting to make the adjustment or not

3065
04:24:25,370 --> 04:24:33,870
We have to see where to move money to make up for that one point because as you say, it's not realistic 3 million

3066
04:24:34,490 --> 04:24:43,050
With the standard that you want, but you have to give up something to come up with so it will be priorities that he has to

3067
04:24:43,050 --> 04:24:50,050
which other projects can be delayed or where he can move some money to make up for that.

3068
04:24:52,690 --> 04:24:55,150
We should also bring it to my point again to do that.

3069
04:24:55,290 --> 04:24:59,450
I will say we will have to have some of our special called mean to see that.

3070
04:24:59,450 --> 04:25:01,550
No, you pass this.

3071
04:25:01,750 --> 04:25:02,030
You pass.

3072
04:25:02,090 --> 04:25:02,950
You have to pass.

3073
04:25:02,950 --> 04:25:03,630
If that's a disaster.

3074
04:25:04,030 --> 04:25:04,810
Yeah, yeah.

3075
04:25:05,230 --> 04:25:06,470
You pass this one.

3076
04:25:06,510 --> 04:25:12,430
Because what you have is the more than half a year of the entire project.

3077
04:25:12,430 --> 04:25:19,430
So, what you are looking for is an additional 1.5 million to finish the whole fiscal year.

3078
04:25:20,590 --> 04:25:20,630
Okay.

3079
04:25:20,770 --> 04:25:23,330
To make it 5.4.5.

3080
04:25:24,790 --> 04:25:32,410
But with the understanding that this budget will be changed to make it to 4.5.

3081
04:25:34,200 --> 04:25:34,440
Right.

3082
04:25:34,680 --> 04:25:41,500
Because as of now, I'm sure you will not have that available money, because we have to give up something.

3083
04:25:44,480 --> 04:25:48,460
All right. Well, okay.

3084
04:25:49,620 --> 04:25:53,120
With the understanding that that three is not enough.

3085
04:25:53,700 --> 04:25:54,880
We need additional.

3086
04:25:56,080 --> 04:26:00,820
So if we pass that one, that means we are passing and balanced budget.

3087
04:26:01,200 --> 04:26:03,820
Because we have expenses that are,

3088
04:26:03,880 --> 04:26:06,140
but we don't have corresponding revenues.

3089
04:26:06,900 --> 04:26:09,780
Okay, let me ask you this. What about the money that we had discussed

3090
04:26:10,000 --> 04:26:13,500
about the hotel hotel tax money that's coming in?

3091
04:26:13,500 --> 04:26:19,280
that's my point of can you hold on on this so we can

3092
04:26:20,160 --> 04:26:25,320
but we don't want to get in a position where we're doing a budget amendment again in 2020

3093
04:26:25,320 --> 04:26:29,840
what is it we will budget amendment you have to do it

3094
04:26:29,840 --> 04:26:34,660
you have to even this 2025 come January 5th bro you have to do it

3095
04:26:34,660 --> 04:26:39,400
okay so what you're saying is understanding we pass in a budget

3096
04:26:39,400 --> 04:26:46,360
As is at his balance was certainly will be endeavored of looking for that additional funding to go to it

3097
04:26:46,360 --> 04:26:56,400
With understanding we're going to go and the messages clear. We're going to endeavor to get to 4.5 and the city manager is going to be looking for the additional funding

3098
04:26:56,400 --> 04:27:03,160
Whether that be the special service district whether that be the other income from hotel

3099
04:27:03,160 --> 04:27:07,680
The multils, because we had several hotels come along, so that numbers should definitely

3100
04:27:07,680 --> 04:27:08,680
be going up.

3101
04:27:09,100 --> 04:27:19,920
So hotel motel has got three sources of expenses and our hotel motel revenues are growing

3102
04:27:19,920 --> 04:27:20,360
up.

3103
04:27:20,720 --> 04:27:27,260
For instance, now we have budgeted 400 and 24,000 to go to general fund.

3104
04:27:27,900 --> 04:27:31,920
But in actual sense we are going to expect not less than 900,000.

3105
04:27:31,920 --> 04:27:35,920
Now, you may wonder, where does it go?

3106
04:27:38,860 --> 04:27:41,920
So, general fund has a portion of that 8%.

3107
04:27:43,040 --> 04:27:45,500
Then we have to give it to chamber,

3108
04:27:46,060 --> 04:27:47,320
hand recount chamber,

3109
04:27:48,720 --> 04:27:52,100
then we have to give it to,

3110
04:27:52,160 --> 04:27:54,800
to our development within our city.

3111
04:27:55,120 --> 04:27:56,060
So those are the three.

3112
04:27:58,110 --> 04:28:01,750
So until you decide to say that we are going to have

3113
04:28:01,750 --> 04:28:07,770
or on board here, that means you don't have to send that money to Chamber.

3114
04:28:08,170 --> 04:28:13,810
But until that one is put in place, we'll still continue sending that money.

3115
04:28:14,730 --> 04:28:20,650
And over the years, we have not been neutralizing for tourists here.

3116
04:28:20,650 --> 04:28:27,790
So we have in general any reserve over 2 million that we have to take it to general fund.

3117
04:28:29,470 --> 04:28:36,070
That has been over the years, they have not been accounted for, so that one has to come to general fund.

3118
04:28:36,530 --> 04:28:42,550
Now, when it comes to general fund, you have to decide, it's general fund, what do we do with this one?

3119
04:28:42,930 --> 04:28:51,650
We need to be, but we have to follow procedures, that man is there. We're going to move it.

3120
04:28:52,190 --> 04:28:55,350
So we have additional funding coming, we just gotta move it.

3121
04:28:55,350 --> 04:29:02,730
general fund, but you have to decide what to do with it. But that's one area, I'm saying they will be something.

3122
04:29:03,490 --> 04:29:08,810
Okay, so we just basically, we should have it, we just gotta do amendments.

3123
04:29:10,850 --> 04:29:11,870
We have to do the amendment.

3124
04:29:12,030 --> 04:29:14,350
I don't think he will have finished it.

3125
04:29:15,470 --> 04:29:19,910
I'm afraid that by March, come March, I don't think he will have finished that.

3126
04:29:19,910 --> 04:29:28,450
of remedial. We do budget amendment whenever there is more revenues or less revenues so

3127
04:29:28,450 --> 04:29:33,730
that at least it's in balance. You can do as many, there's no limitation of budget

3128
04:29:33,730 --> 04:29:38,870
amendment, but if you do as many times as that means that lack of branding at the same

3129
04:29:39,810 --> 04:29:46,070
time. So at least minimum of two budget amendments, but you can do as many as you can.

3130
04:29:46,070 --> 04:29:47,710
OK, all right, thank you.

3131
04:29:47,790 --> 04:29:48,650
Ms. Barbara Glick, please.

3132
04:29:50,370 --> 04:29:53,350
I am trying to wrap my mind around the discussion

3133
04:29:53,350 --> 04:29:57,090
that we're having regarding the amphitheater and funding

3134
04:29:57,090 --> 04:29:58,990
in at the start of this meeting.

3135
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:04,640
We talked about funding for a new park in soccer fields.

3136
04:30:07,400 --> 04:30:12,420
We didn't look or dig to find money for the soccer fields.

3137
04:30:13,000 --> 04:30:19,680
Instead, it was suggested that we'd bond the money, bond the money to complete these capital improvement projects.

3138
04:30:20,360 --> 04:30:28,400
But yet, right now, we have all these discussions about how we're going to fund the operations of the amphitheater.

3139
04:30:28,400 --> 04:30:30,780
That's wasting money.

3140
04:30:32,220 --> 04:30:41,200
It is wasteful spending a much rather $4.5 million go towards this new park and the existing

3141
04:30:41,200 --> 04:30:42,140
parks.

3142
04:30:42,700 --> 04:30:47,800
Not to fund again the operations of the amphibierter.

3143
04:30:48,220 --> 04:30:56,340
In 2021, I brought to the table a major name right sponsor, who was willing to pay for all

3144
04:30:56,340 --> 04:31:03,460
of the upfront cost, including paying for the cost of the artists, paying for the speakers

3145
04:31:03,460 --> 04:31:10,260
and lighting and sound, and all of the things that we needed for the operations. Not one

3146
04:31:10,260 --> 04:31:15,960
dime would have come from the city. However, my council mates didn't want to proceed with

3147
04:31:15,960 --> 04:31:23,080
the negotiations. They'd much rather use the tax dollars to fund the operations. It makes

3148
04:31:23,080 --> 04:31:31,380
No sense. We are amannisapald. We're government entity. We are not a nightclub. We're not a business

3149
04:31:31,380 --> 04:31:40,800
either. I am bothered because not only are these text dollars from residents, it's my money too.

3150
04:31:41,260 --> 04:31:48,180
And that is not how I want to spend my money. I'd much rather see us execute the master trail plan

3151
04:31:48,180 --> 04:32:17,880
that was one of the priorities that I had when I first got on the Council in 2020, not one trail has been put together since the end, but we have wasted year over year since 2022, millions, not hundreds, not thousands, millions of dollars, every year on the operations of this amphitheater, absolutely as gross mismanagement.

3152
04:32:19,500 --> 04:32:22,460
I want to be real clear about how I see

3153
04:32:22,460 --> 04:32:25,880
my fiduciary responsibilities as an elected official

3154
04:32:25,880 --> 04:32:27,840
and a member of the governing body.

3155
04:32:28,580 --> 04:32:30,820
While I cannot and will not speak for the other members

3156
04:32:30,820 --> 04:32:34,480
of the council, what I will say is that I take the budget

3157
04:32:34,480 --> 04:32:37,560
adoption and adhere into the city's approved operating

3158
04:32:37,560 --> 04:32:39,360
budget very seriously.

3159
04:32:40,100 --> 04:32:43,660
Equally, I take the city's charter seriously as well.

3160
04:32:44,640 --> 04:32:47,520
Residents of our city are not looking for handouts.

3161
04:32:47,520 --> 04:32:52,920
They're looking for an equitable return on their investment of their tax dollars.

3162
04:32:53,940 --> 04:32:59,220
The arrogance in the lack of care and concern that has been exhibited as a governing body

3163
04:32:59,220 --> 04:33:04,960
has made decisions that have benefited the very few, rather than the collective as something

3164
04:33:04,960 --> 04:33:07,020
that we all would have to answer for.

3165
04:33:07,920 --> 04:33:12,820
That's why I've been asking questions since I was sworn in, and six years later, I have

3166
04:33:13,680 --> 04:33:17,680
I understand the way that the responsibilities that my position carries.

3167
04:33:18,280 --> 04:33:24,660
I understand that my role is to save money, cut cost, not waste more money.

3168
04:33:25,360 --> 04:33:30,780
As elected officials, we each took an oath to act in the best interest of our city

3169
04:33:30,780 --> 04:33:37,880
and to provide oversight of each in every taxpayer dollar that comes in and goes out.

3170
04:33:37,880 --> 04:33:45,600
The governing body approved a finance policy and agreed to follow the processes and procedures in that policy.

3171
04:33:46,340 --> 04:33:58,580
And we unanimously agreed to a two-to-three-year plan to follow the recommendations by the city treasurer and the city's financial advisor to rebuild the city's fund balance.

3172
04:33:58,580 --> 04:34:06,840
our savings account. I hope that the governing body will fulfill its obligation and to not use the city's

3173
04:34:06,840 --> 04:34:16,120
fund balance or general funds, except in only in case of emergencies. On October 28th of this year, the city manager

3174
04:34:16,120 --> 04:34:22,780
to request to add new positions and reclassify current positions with new titles and pay

3175
04:34:22,780 --> 04:34:23,380
grains.

3176
04:34:24,080 --> 04:34:32,940
The city's chart of section 3.04-060 requires that when a new position is created, the

3177
04:34:32,940 --> 04:34:39,100
ordinance shall include the new job description, a new paying and classification, and a new

3178
04:34:39,100 --> 04:34:45,140
organizational chart, including the new and reclassified positions on October 28.

3179
04:34:45,140 --> 04:34:50,880
None of those documents were included and presented to the governing body as required.

3180
04:34:51,540 --> 04:34:57,760
I opposed the vote to approve the new and reclassified positions, not because I disagreed

3181
04:34:57,760 --> 04:35:03,640
with the positions, but my opposition referenced the charter, which requires those documents

3182
04:35:03,640 --> 04:35:06,140
and they had not been included.

3183
04:35:07,080 --> 04:35:12,020
Members of the governing body should also question why the documents were not attached.

3184
04:35:12,020 --> 04:35:20,760
Members of the governing body should also question while the city's legal council did not advise on the requirement of those specific documents.

3185
04:35:21,720 --> 04:35:27,640
This is not the first incident of when new positions are reclassified positions have been created.

3186
04:35:28,180 --> 04:35:35,380
So there is a history of adhering to the process and the charter by doing it this way, the right way.

3187
04:35:35,380 --> 04:35:43,780
On November 10th, the city manager presented the first reading of the F-Li2026 operating budget and capital improvement plan.

3188
04:35:44,380 --> 04:35:53,700
The mayor opened the public hearing portion of the meeting and members of the council gave their input and responses to the budget that was presented.

3189
04:35:54,860 --> 04:36:02,460
I read a statement into the record where I made it known that I had gone through every single line item of the proposed budget.

3190
04:36:02,460 --> 04:36:08,100
What was missing from the first reading of the proposed budget was funding for the amphitheater.

3191
04:36:08,660 --> 04:36:17,000
There required job descriptions, paying classification, and city organizational chart for the new and reclassified positions.

3192
04:36:17,920 --> 04:36:20,760
Making the budget as presented in complete.

3193
04:36:22,020 --> 04:36:26,720
A question several budget line items and various departmental budget amounts.

3194
04:36:26,720 --> 04:36:38,760
I also recommended that the Council adopt an ordinance regarding the use of contingency funds which are only to be used in the event of an emergency such as a natural disaster.

3195
04:36:40,180 --> 04:36:54,180
The mayor and members of the Council did not support moving forward with the approval of a contingency fund ordinance that night and said that our city's legal council needs to review and bring back an ordinance.

3196
04:36:54,180 --> 04:37:03,040
I forwarded my email to all members of the governing body, the city's legal council, the city manager, city treasurer, and the city clerk.

3197
04:37:03,740 --> 04:37:09,780
To date, the city's legal council has not prepared an ordinance for contingency funds.

3198
04:37:10,300 --> 04:37:13,740
Nor have I received a response following their review.

3199
04:37:14,680 --> 04:37:22,300
On November 17, 2025, city staff submitted some, but not all of the documents that I requested.

3200
04:37:22,300 --> 04:37:29,980
During the November 10th meeting, City staff submitted some, but not all of the job descriptions for the new-

3201
04:37:30,000 --> 04:37:46,700
We created and reclassified positions. City staff submitted an incomplete paying classification and responded to some, but not all of the questions and concerns that I raised regarding the FY-2026 budget.

3202
04:37:46,700 --> 04:38:00,300
During the second reading of the proposed FY2026 budget on November 18, again, I requested that all job descriptions, the paying classification, or organizational chart,

3203
04:38:00,880 --> 04:38:08,120
be attached to the budget as required by the charter section 3.04-06-one.

3204
04:38:08,120 --> 04:38:14,060
I requested the amphitheater marketing plan, the sponsorship plan to understand the next steps,

3205
04:38:14,520 --> 04:38:21,380
to offset costs associated with the concerts and free city events as was discussed during

3206
04:38:21,380 --> 04:38:27,140
their retreat. I also requested the building maintenance plan for the Merrill Manters Conference Center

3207
04:38:27,140 --> 04:38:33,660
to understand the necessary steps to increase revenues as discussed during the budget retreat.

3208
04:38:33,660 --> 04:38:49,900
I asked for an update to the Assistant Public Works Director position as it relates to the engineering services as discussed during a retreat, along with other documents and questions relating to the proposed FY2026 budget.

3209
04:38:50,960 --> 04:38:56,620
I specifically asked during the November 18 meeting if the documents were attached as requested.

3210
04:39:00,560 --> 04:39:06,480
We're talking about the budget, we're going down this list that has nothing to do with the budget.

3211
04:39:06,780 --> 04:39:11,340
We're talking about the 2026 budget, how much money we're going to spend.

3212
04:39:11,980 --> 04:39:16,320
This documentation trail has nothing to do with what we're talking about tonight.

3213
04:39:16,720 --> 04:39:21,760
We're talking about the system, the director of the public works and back in November.

3214
04:39:21,760 --> 04:39:32,120
we're talking about the 2026 budget, what we're going to do to move forward. Now, as a rule, we have five minutes to speak on any topic for any subject.

3215
04:39:32,480 --> 04:39:36,620
How much time does Ms. Barbernee, we're not going to sit here all night?

3216
04:39:37,800 --> 04:39:39,240
How long, how much is it? How long is it?

3217
04:39:39,560 --> 04:39:40,540
Oh, anybody else?

3218
04:39:40,680 --> 04:39:45,300
I'll tell you my second. Okay. Well, I'll tell you what, what I understand that these

3219
04:39:45,300 --> 04:39:49,200
parties conversations deal with positions that are in new positions that are in this 2020.

3220
04:39:50,320 --> 04:39:54,640
And if that's the credit, there's still somewhat budget related, that's where I look at it.

3221
04:39:54,640 --> 04:40:00,060
So I'm a letter to continue on, and then we'll get some other time to speak additionally if you need to do so.

3222
04:40:00,440 --> 04:40:00,600
Thank you.

3223
04:40:01,560 --> 04:40:01,720
Okay.

3224
04:40:02,640 --> 04:40:08,520
I specifically asked during the November 18th meeting, if the documents were attached as requested,

3225
04:40:08,800 --> 04:40:12,300
and it was confirmed that they were included in the governing bodies,

3226
04:40:12,300 --> 04:40:19,260
agenda books and agenda binders. However, all of the requested documents and responses were not included

3227
04:40:19,260 --> 04:40:24,900
and had not been submitted. When I said to that the information was not there, I was attacked.

3228
04:40:25,740 --> 04:40:31,760
As you see, I was attacked by Councilman Alexander for asking the city manager to respond to the

3229
04:40:31,760 --> 04:40:37,860
budget questions raised. And I was attacked by Mayor Pro Tim Gantt, who insisted that the

3230
04:40:37,860 --> 04:40:41,880
had been submitted by staff and was included in the agenda.

3231
04:40:42,480 --> 04:40:43,940
Folks, and it was.

3232
04:40:44,420 --> 04:40:50,080
Mayor, Mayor Potein, got accused me of not reading the information prior to the meetings.

3233
04:40:50,620 --> 04:40:52,700
She accused me of gas lighting.

3234
04:40:52,940 --> 04:40:58,080
For asking questions of staff and she again violated the city's

3235
04:40:58,080 --> 04:41:02,320
code of conduct when she called me crazy, which can be clearly heard

3236
04:41:02,320 --> 04:41:04,720
on the mic during our public meeting.

3237
04:41:04,720 --> 04:41:26,140
What is interesting is whenever I bring up questions regarding the amphitheater, funding of the amphitheater, putting the amphitheater services out for bid, or turning the amphitheater over to a third party management company, these two council members become argumentative and want to shut me down for simply asking questions.

3238
04:41:26,140 --> 04:41:27,060
down, we were running on the

3239
04:41:27,060 --> 04:41:28,040
wall, during the budget retreat

3240
04:41:28,040 --> 04:41:30,020
in making Mayor, Palit爾

3241
04:41:30,020 --> 04:41:34,480
Santander, where she called

3242
04:41:34,480 --> 04:41:36,040
me a bitch, during the

3243
04:41:36,040 --> 04:41:37,220
Pupport of word,

3244
04:41:37,360 --> 04:41:37,740
quote,

3245
04:41:38,120 --> 04:41:38,540
it is.

3246
04:41:38,780 --> 04:41:40,700
with all the words,

3247
04:41:41,640 --> 04:41:41,820
contact,

3248
04:41:42,600 --> 04:41:45,160
relax for you, please

3249
04:41:45,160 --> 04:41:45,880
with the bombs,

3250
04:41:45,980 --> 04:41:47,780
we'll be back,

3251
04:41:47,780 --> 04:41:48,560
we'll be back,

3252
04:41:49,420 --> 04:41:50,180
Edmonton,

3253
04:41:50,820 --> 04:41:51,580
we'll be back,

3254
04:41:51,580 --> 04:41:51,760
if you get in the comments

3255
04:41:51,760 --> 04:41:53,720
and I'll tell you

3256
04:41:53,720 --> 04:41:55,820
how I'm listening to

3257
04:41:55,820 --> 04:42:00,940
she called me, but I will refrain from using profanity. Thank you, sir.

3258
04:42:00,940 --> 04:42:04,740
I've got to be good. Thank you. During the budget retreat and making Mayor

3259
04:42:04,740 --> 04:42:08,660
Pro Tim Gantt also violated the city's code of conduct when she called me the

3260
04:42:08,660 --> 04:42:12,860
be word during the public meeting. Of course, the conversation was about

3261
04:42:12,860 --> 04:42:17,380
empathy at a funding during the budget retreat and September of this year. Mayor

3262
04:42:17,380 --> 04:42:23,340
Pro Tim Gantt again. The water. We're supposed to tell our fellow council members

3263
04:42:23,340 --> 04:42:30,400
Your conversation is saying. We're not supposed to do that. We're not supposed to attack our fellow member that part of what we're doing

3264
04:42:30,400 --> 04:42:34,800
These are codocunded by like we're not supposed to be attacking each other up here

3265
04:42:34,800 --> 04:42:41,700
That's wrong. Talk about the budget. Don't talk about Ms. Gett. Don't talk about me talk about the budget. Therefore, nothing is please

3266
04:42:42,560 --> 04:42:49,420
They have an estimate a point which is remembering from mentioning other council members are attacking other council members

3267
04:42:49,420 --> 04:42:53,220
Those are codocunded by like I understand it, but that goes for everybody

3268
04:42:53,340 --> 04:42:55,200
It goes for everybody across the board.

3269
04:42:55,460 --> 04:42:56,060
Okay.

3270
04:42:56,600 --> 04:42:57,620
During the budgetary treatment,

3271
04:42:57,820 --> 04:42:59,060
September of this year,

3272
04:42:59,380 --> 04:43:02,320
Mayor Proton Gantt once again violated the Code of Conduct

3273
04:43:02,320 --> 04:43:05,240
when the conversation centered around the amphitheater funding

3274
04:43:05,240 --> 04:43:06,560
and the operations.

3275
04:43:07,020 --> 04:43:09,460
She called me the B-word for the second time

3276
04:43:09,460 --> 04:43:10,720
during a public meeting.

3277
04:43:11,260 --> 04:43:14,060
There was no consequences for any of these Code of Conduct

3278
04:43:14,060 --> 04:43:14,720
violations.

3279
04:43:15,340 --> 04:43:18,080
Even after I reported it to the mayor

3280
04:43:18,840 --> 04:43:21,460
and the city's legal counsel

3281
04:43:21,460 --> 04:43:27,360
Our turning Washington, I'm requesting an investigation of all three of these incidents where

3282
04:43:27,360 --> 04:43:34,680
Mayor Proteem Gantt violated the code of conduct with name calling in public meetings with

3283
04:43:34,680 --> 04:43:37,500
action to be taken by the governing body.

3284
04:43:38,380 --> 04:43:44,080
The next day, after the last meeting of the governing body, on November 19, the mayor and

3285
04:43:44,080 --> 04:43:50,080
council received a series of emails from city staff that included attachments and documents

3286
04:43:50,080 --> 04:43:58,940
that two members of the council and the city manager had said the night before that the documents were in the council agenda books and binders.

3287
04:43:59,440 --> 04:44:06,440
There were no explanations or apologies for their false accusations towards me during the last meeting of the council.

3288
04:44:07,200 --> 04:44:16,360
Following the second reading of the proposed budget, I asked for clarification on additional budget line items and again requested all job descriptions.

3289
04:44:16,360 --> 04:44:23,500
The play and class of the order mayor and the original chart as a fire point. I said an email to the entire

3290
04:44:24,240 --> 04:44:32,060
You have let a loud man for a member Barbara to go far beyond the scope of what my budget here

3291
04:44:32,060 --> 04:44:39,940
Now understand she has every I will make a motion to in her comments, but she is what she is what

3292
04:44:39,940 --> 04:44:47,540
far beyond the scope, and it's pinpointing different things, and no one, I'm not here to

3293
04:44:47,540 --> 04:44:52,400
say any of her actions, but the video tapes will speak for themselves, and I'm not here

3294
04:44:52,400 --> 04:44:59,980
to defend any actions. I'm very confident in that. I know the law, and I'm very old.

3295
04:45:00,000 --> 04:45:07,700
Where I'm actually shot that she would even have something to say at this point, but this is about our budget.

3296
04:45:08,080 --> 04:45:29,980
So I make a motion that we end Councilwoman Barber's speech or her testimony in regards to her

3297
04:45:29,980 --> 04:45:39,280
expressing her feelings and I'm not trying to be funny, but you know it's 1037 tonight and we

3298
04:45:39,280 --> 04:45:47,860
need to talk specifically about the budget. And so therefore I make a motion that we stop

3299
04:45:48,860 --> 04:45:55,840
the comments of Councilwoman Barbara if you look at the roles and regulations in our resolution

3300
04:45:55,840 --> 04:46:03,580
After so many minutes of speaking she's had well over her time and my time and the whole council's time at this point

3301
04:46:04,400 --> 04:46:09,120
Seconds a second the motion because the rules have been

3302
04:46:10,040 --> 04:46:17,780
Seconds the most it's all favorite most in it. Please. I'm sorry. Please allow me to finish

3303
04:46:17,780 --> 04:46:19,780
Okay, okay, I'll pose

3304
04:46:21,240 --> 04:46:24,180
The motion does not pass the motion does not pass

3305
04:46:25,980 --> 04:46:27,220
Hold on a second.

3306
04:46:27,320 --> 04:46:27,960
What's the best?

3307
04:46:28,200 --> 04:46:28,960
What's the best?

3308
04:46:29,620 --> 04:46:33,740
Well, well, well, well, well, well, I actually only two votes for the most.

3309
04:46:33,760 --> 04:46:34,740
I have that in a row.

3310
04:46:35,080 --> 04:46:35,420
What's the best?

3311
04:46:35,880 --> 04:46:36,500
The most unfair.

3312
04:46:36,840 --> 04:46:37,280
No.

3313
04:46:38,820 --> 04:46:39,320
Is it two?

3314
04:46:39,480 --> 04:46:40,660
You don't need to vote.

3315
04:46:41,880 --> 04:46:42,860
Thank you, Mayor Ford.

3316
04:46:43,220 --> 04:46:43,800
Is it?

3317
04:46:43,980 --> 04:46:44,640
If I may start.

3318
04:46:45,320 --> 04:46:46,060
Make sure.

3319
04:46:46,760 --> 04:46:46,840
In two.

3320
04:46:47,560 --> 04:46:48,000
Specifically.

3321
04:46:48,460 --> 04:46:49,020
Mayor Ford.

3322
04:46:49,720 --> 04:46:50,360
So what?

3323
04:46:50,360 --> 04:46:50,500
What?

3324
04:46:51,180 --> 04:46:53,300
But I am going to finish my statement.

3325
04:46:53,300 --> 04:47:06,460
But now, sir, I think you are being unfair and unreasonable because every member of this council gets to speak freely with no interruptions.

3326
04:47:06,700 --> 04:47:16,520
I sat here, I sat here as those two down there with back and forth, making their comments, having discussions with staff, I sat nothing.

3327
04:47:16,520 --> 04:47:29,320
I want to finish all of my comments because everything that I am reading here happened during the public meetings and public hearings regarding the budget adoption.

3328
04:47:30,020 --> 04:47:30,580
Mayor Lord.

3329
04:47:31,360 --> 04:47:33,400
I don't need any more of order.

3330
04:47:33,580 --> 04:47:35,680
I'm trying to dictate to me.

3331
04:47:35,680 --> 04:47:37,560
We're talking about the

3332
04:47:39,760 --> 04:47:41,480
Numbers on the budget

3333
04:47:41,480 --> 04:47:42,960
Not they are

3334
04:47:42,960 --> 04:47:46,880
of what has taken place

3335
04:47:46,880 --> 04:47:54,420
And we have taken the mayor has given my actual video we come up

3336
04:47:55,740 --> 04:47:57,340
Follow in the second

3337
04:47:58,540 --> 04:48:01,080
Ask for clarification on

3338
04:48:01,080 --> 04:48:05,400
Additional budget line items and again requested all job descriptions

3339
04:48:05,680 --> 04:48:09,980
the paying classification and the organizational chart as required.

3340
04:48:10,020 --> 04:48:12,860
I sent an e-mail to the entire governing body,

3341
04:48:13,420 --> 04:48:18,260
the city's legal counsel, city manager, city treasurer, and city clerk.

3342
04:48:18,720 --> 04:48:26,260
On Friday, December 5th, at 1048 PM, some, but not all of the information

3343
04:48:26,260 --> 04:48:31,520
was e-mailed to the governing body with a final reading and adoption on Monday.

3344
04:48:31,520 --> 04:48:36,580
This is exactly why I make my comments and request publicly.

3345
04:48:37,380 --> 04:48:43,280
Coincidentally or not, the job description for the new event's director position was

3346
04:48:43,280 --> 04:48:44,020
not submitted.

3347
04:48:44,640 --> 04:48:45,620
Why is that?

3348
04:48:46,220 --> 04:48:52,960
I have been publicly requesting monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual financials since 2022,

3349
04:48:53,460 --> 04:48:56,020
because I knew the math was a math thing.

3350
04:48:56,520 --> 04:49:00,860
Two members of the Council and former Council member directed the former City Manager

3351
04:49:00,860 --> 04:49:09,720
the time, the email not to release financial information to me. It's on record. I had to use my own

3352
04:49:09,720 --> 04:49:16,740
personal money to retain an attorney as a way to obtain information from our city, and I had to

3353
04:49:16,740 --> 04:49:21,940
file a complaint with the Secretary of State's Office for a violation of the Open Records Act.

3354
04:49:22,180 --> 04:49:29,500
When documents were not given to me as requested as an elected official. The operations of the

3355
04:49:29,500 --> 04:49:40,300
the Interwent millions of dollars over budget in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 20, 25. I was

3356
04:49:40,300 --> 04:49:46,680
sounding the alarm each of those years, and I'm sounding the alarm now. Our city spent

3357
04:49:46,680 --> 04:49:54,160
nearly a million dollars of free events just last year, and it's proposing the same in

3358
04:49:54,160 --> 04:50:03,280
2026 budget. Again, I am sounding the alarm. There is no municipality that will allow their

3359
04:50:03,280 --> 04:50:11,800
city to repeatedly year after year go millions of dollars over budget, let alone over

3360
04:50:11,800 --> 04:50:20,340
spin on free event and an amphitheater. It is wasteful spending and physically irresponsible.

3361
04:50:20,340 --> 04:50:39,220
The governing body approved a city tax, and the residents were told that the city tax would be used to cover expenses associated with public safety and public works to cover the additional areas as a result of the 2023 annexation of approximately 6,700

3362
04:50:40,880 --> 04:50:47,080
residents and businesses. However, we've been continuously spending millions of dollars

3363
04:50:47,080 --> 04:50:56,020
over budget on free city events and the amphitheater every year since 2022. Not thousands,

3364
04:50:56,760 --> 04:51:03,880
but millions. I have pleaded with the governing body and the city managers to outsource the

3365
04:51:03,880 --> 04:51:11,100
operations of the amphitheater to a third party venue management company who would bear all of the

3366
04:51:11,100 --> 04:51:19,240
calls to run the shows, including booking the artists, etc. And the city would receive a portion of the

3367
04:51:19,240 --> 04:51:26,260
profits for each show. My repeated recommendation has fallen on deaf ears with a governing body who

3368
04:51:26,260 --> 04:51:33,560
insist on maintaining control of the amphitheater by spending millions of tax dollars to fund the

3369
04:51:33,560 --> 04:51:40,700
operations, even though we have in our face four solid years of overspending and losses.

3370
04:51:44,330 --> 04:51:48,630
In 2024, we exceeded the approved budget by $32.9 million.

3371
04:51:49,490 --> 04:51:58,430
City staff decided that although there was an overall budget of $43 million, a total overall

3372
04:51:58,430 --> 04:52:00,910
$76 million was spent.

3373
04:52:00,910 --> 04:52:07,910
City staff didn't come before the governing body to request an additional $32 million as required.

3374
04:52:08,550 --> 04:52:14,790
During a public hearing where the full governing body would be present and a vote of approval was required.

3375
04:52:15,430 --> 04:52:23,910
They just spent it on authorized and unapproved this year by a second quarter of this year.

3376
04:52:23,910 --> 04:52:29,970
Mr. Malazi was given instructions to fund the remaining of the show.

3377
04:52:30,000 --> 04:52:51,760
For this year, he did that an executive session. There is no vote of record of the council authorizing him to spend the money. Why? Because that was a decision that was made in executive session. Those are decisions that should be made right here in the public meeting. Not behind closed doors.

3378
04:52:54,110 --> 04:53:01,290
Nobody was listening to me on the boardhorn as I was continuously sounding the alarm that something was not right with the finances.

3379
04:53:01,630 --> 04:53:14,750
That $32.9 million should and should still be available in the different accounts that it was pulled from in Spain, but it's no longer there, and that is why there was a $32.9 million amendment.

3380
04:53:16,470 --> 04:53:20,390
I'm trying to prevent that from happening to our city ever again.

3381
04:53:21,830 --> 04:53:26,710
I hope that there would be a lesson learned in the members of the governing body.

3382
04:53:26,710 --> 04:53:31,670
The leadership and the decision making of our city would question and pay attention

3383
04:53:31,670 --> 04:53:40,050
There needs to be no one now for thirty minutes. We will be in the same 30 minutes. We've been with another budget of minutes

3384
04:53:40,050 --> 04:53:45,510
I'm making them in another and another and another and another meeting until the well runs dry

3385
04:53:46,290 --> 04:53:53,830
There are those who said that they don't want to say we're being sent back without their knowledge even though I'm

3386
04:53:56,150 --> 04:53:57,370
You're making an emotion.

3387
04:53:57,790 --> 04:53:59,890
Yes, we've been going on 30 minutes now.

3388
04:53:59,890 --> 04:54:00,790
We're making an emotion too.

3389
04:54:00,890 --> 04:54:05,850
I'm making an emotion to end these comments so we can move on with the meeting.

3390
04:54:06,010 --> 04:54:07,690
We've been going on 30 minutes now.

3391
04:54:07,690 --> 04:54:08,410
I'm by second.

3392
04:54:08,610 --> 04:54:14,210
Now, we've been talking about a lot of stuff, but the budget has been plenty enough time to talk about the budget issue.

3393
04:54:14,330 --> 04:54:16,650
But we've been talking about personnel issues.

3394
04:54:17,270 --> 04:54:19,150
Throwing darts at everybody.

3395
04:54:19,450 --> 04:54:22,870
I'm trying to end these comments and then move on with the meeting.

3396
04:54:23,830 --> 04:54:28,710
You made a motion for that in a second. I'm very most pleased in the cake

3397
04:54:28,710 --> 04:54:32,270
You got one page left

3398
04:54:32,820 --> 04:54:41,730
Mayor for it. So that's that by the whole second. This is one of them. She said that 20 minutes ago. It had nothing to do with the budget.

3399
04:54:41,990 --> 04:54:43,610
It's just constant.

3400
04:54:43,610 --> 04:54:47,470
Now, this has been going on 30 minutes. We got a five minute

3401
04:54:47,470 --> 04:54:50,070
this afternoon. Any one issue? Five minutes.

3402
04:54:50,610 --> 04:54:51,990
Everybody on all 20 minutes.

3403
04:54:52,270 --> 04:54:53,030
Five minutes down please.

3404
04:54:53,250 --> 04:54:56,710
For the record, I am going to email this

3405
04:54:56,710 --> 04:55:00,230
information. I'm going to email this statement because it is for the record.

3406
04:55:00,430 --> 04:55:05,210
I'm sorry, Miss Holiday. I will email this statement just as I did with the other two

3407
04:55:05,210 --> 04:55:09,910
to the full governing body, the city attorney, the city manager, the city

3408
04:55:09,910 --> 04:55:15,470
the city clerk. I don't need a response for this. I want all of this on record.

3409
04:55:15,970 --> 04:55:23,330
All right. If I can finish that without any interruptions from my council mates, I appreciate it.

3410
04:55:23,450 --> 04:55:23,870
Who's there?

3411
04:55:23,910 --> 04:55:25,290
What do you have left there?

3412
04:55:25,450 --> 04:55:25,750
I'm sorry.

3413
04:55:25,810 --> 04:55:26,830
What do you have left?

3414
04:55:26,930 --> 04:55:28,450
I have a page and a half left.

3415
04:55:28,610 --> 04:55:29,930
A page and a half left?

3416
04:55:31,030 --> 04:55:34,790
And if you allow me to finish, I could have been finished by now.

3417
04:55:34,830 --> 04:55:35,850
Hold on, please.

3418
04:55:35,850 --> 04:55:40,330
So you realize, you realize you've been going, you have been going very long.

3419
04:55:40,450 --> 04:55:44,830
I want to focus strictly on the budget now in this aspect, and this is all of this

3420
04:55:44,830 --> 04:55:45,630
particular budget.

3421
04:55:46,150 --> 04:55:47,490
Why don't you stand by, please?

3422
04:55:47,830 --> 04:55:49,950
Why don't you just go ahead, since you're going to send it to everybody.

3423
04:55:50,070 --> 04:55:50,930
Why don't you send it to everybody?

3424
04:55:51,230 --> 04:55:52,030
Well, cease this now.

3425
04:55:52,310 --> 04:55:56,110
We'll continue on any specific budget questions that anybody has in this more.

3426
04:55:56,270 --> 04:56:03,270
Well, no, everything that I'm saying is in regards to the budget and the public, especially

3427
04:56:03,270 --> 04:56:10,130
those who elected me to represent them. They want to hear what I have to say. So I think

3428
04:56:10,130 --> 04:56:17,810
it is unfair that you would cut me off from speaking. Well, my truth, each of us get to speak

3429
04:56:17,810 --> 04:56:23,510
for it. Whether or not you agree with me, that's one thing. This is not for a bone. This

3430
04:56:23,510 --> 04:56:30,790
is me and my statements. My comment, if you allow me to finish our apology, you probably

3431
04:56:30,790 --> 04:56:36,630
you won't hear from me for the rest of the night, but it just bothered me to hear, we make

3432
04:56:36,630 --> 04:56:41,410
an all these concessions for the operation of the amphitheater, for the parts we got a barn

3433
04:56:41,410 --> 04:56:42,550
for that.

3434
04:56:43,710 --> 04:56:50,770
So, let me finish if you would, please, sir, with knowing our Russians, I have not interrupted

3435
04:56:50,770 --> 04:56:51,310
anyone.

3436
04:56:52,210 --> 04:56:53,370
I've been very respectful.

3437
04:56:54,470 --> 04:56:55,910
I've been very respectful.

3438
04:56:55,910 --> 04:56:59,750
And tell us where we could appreciate it.

3439
04:57:00,050 --> 04:57:00,070
Yes.

3440
04:57:00,290 --> 04:57:02,430
Now I don't know where I stopped.

3441
04:57:03,170 --> 04:57:03,690
So I have to start.

3442
04:57:03,790 --> 04:57:04,450
Go ahead.

3443
04:57:04,850 --> 04:57:06,130
Let's go.

3444
04:57:06,130 --> 04:57:06,830
Go ahead.

3445
04:57:07,470 --> 04:57:09,050
Go ahead.

3446
04:57:09,050 --> 04:57:09,210
Okay.

3447
04:57:09,730 --> 04:57:13,950
There are those who said they didn't know the city's funds were being spent

3448
04:57:13,950 --> 04:57:18,790
without their knowledge even though I was sounding the alarm and asking for financial reporting

3449
04:57:18,790 --> 04:57:24,550
too many times to count and it has been suggested that I asked my questions and address my concerns

3450
04:57:24,550 --> 04:57:27,550
behind the scenes, just as they're doing right now.

3451
04:57:28,530 --> 04:57:31,490
Well, the behind-the-scenes conversations have cost us millions.

3452
04:57:32,090 --> 04:57:36,910
The city has overspent over the approved budget for four consecutive years.

3453
04:57:37,450 --> 04:57:39,050
This makes no sense.

3454
04:57:39,730 --> 04:57:42,230
All discussions of funding sources such as

3455
04:57:42,230 --> 04:57:44,730
Splost, T-Splost, General Fund,

3456
04:57:45,090 --> 04:57:48,490
and other revenue streams should be discussed publicly,

3457
04:57:49,150 --> 04:57:51,650
not behind closed doors in executive session

3458
04:57:51,650 --> 04:58:01,430
or be a text message in emails, but I continue to raise questions and ask, raise concerns and ask questions publicly, I was censored.

3459
04:58:02,030 --> 04:58:11,790
I was at Monnish because I was raising red flags, asking for a budget document, contracts, and other financial records during the public meetings, and email.

3460
04:58:11,790 --> 04:58:20,650
No one listened. I was ignored and talked over with numerous attempts to drown me out so that you couldn't hear what was really happening.

3461
04:58:21,390 --> 04:58:25,530
The truth has since unfolded and been brought to the forefront.

3462
04:58:26,570 --> 04:58:29,770
Finally, however, the truth has not

3463
04:58:32,460 --> 04:58:35,640
been a company by an apology.

3464
04:58:36,720 --> 04:58:42,360
And further review and discussions by the governing body, this is public money.

3465
04:58:42,740 --> 04:58:48,980
And whenever we talk about city funds, those conversations need to take place in the open for public knowledge.

3466
04:58:49,660 --> 04:58:54,140
The governing body is fully aware of what happened as it relates to the 2024,

3467
04:58:55,380 --> 04:59:00,400
32.9 million dollar amendment and the previous years of millions of dollars of over spending.

3468
04:59:00,400 --> 04:59:09,620
Our city went over budget in 2022, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 over budget.

3469
04:59:10,260 --> 04:59:14,800
Our city's ethics board recommended that an independent firm review the claims for

3470
04:59:14,800 --> 04:59:20,360
their election of duties has a governing body acted on any of the ethics board recommendations.

3471
04:59:21,160 --> 04:59:27,980
No, tonight this council is being asked to approve the 2026 budget for $34 million.

3472
04:59:27,980 --> 04:59:34,800
City staff asked the Council to approve the budget at this time last year for $29 million.

3473
04:59:35,140 --> 04:59:43,380
Tonight we have a $25 budget amendment that the Council approve for $8.8 million so far.

3474
04:59:43,760 --> 04:59:44,500
So far.

3475
04:59:44,940 --> 04:59:51,320
Staff has not provided all of the job descriptions and paying classification or a complete city

3476
04:59:51,320 --> 04:59:59,060
organizational chart. There is still one job description that is missing and events director position.

3477
05:00:00,680 --> 05:00:06,480
Missing. They have then three meetings in which I have asked for all the job descriptions for new and

3478
05:00:06,480 --> 05:00:13,780
reclassified positions, including the paying class and the new positions of the events director, who

3479
05:00:13,780 --> 05:00:19,620
will be responsible for overseeing the contractor who will manage all aspects of the operations

3480
05:00:19,620 --> 05:00:25,480
of the amphitheater. It has not been submitted prior to the meeting tonight. Why, as it being

3481
05:00:25,480 --> 05:00:31,100
with hailed. Members of the Council should be asking that question too. My request tonight

3482
05:00:31,100 --> 05:00:36,640
are not complicated. There needs to be proper reporting of spending and oversight by the

3483
05:00:36,640 --> 05:00:42,320
governing body frequently. Turn the amphitheater over to a third party being a management

3484
05:00:42,320 --> 05:00:48,540
company who has a capital to cover the cost of operations of the venue at a hundred percent

3485
05:00:48,540 --> 05:00:55,260
without relying on taxpayer dollars to subsidize the operations. Reduce the budget for free

3486
05:00:55,260 --> 05:01:02,420
city events. Ensures sufficient funds are available to complete the downtown utility relocation

3487
05:01:02,420 --> 05:01:09,940
project. Allocate adequate funding to the Rockquare Road Extension Project. Ensures sufficient

3488
05:01:09,940 --> 05:01:16,060
funds are available to complete the way finding project. Ensure adequate funding is available to execute

3489
05:01:16,060 --> 05:01:22,540
the master trail plan. Ensure adequate funding is available to execute the parts master plan.

3490
05:01:22,540 --> 05:01:28,260
We need an update to the Capital Improvement Plan and the LCI-List.

3491
05:01:28,800 --> 05:01:32,040
Those dates and projects need to be updated.

3492
05:01:32,760 --> 05:01:35,960
What we have in our books is not accurate.

3493
05:01:37,340 --> 05:01:42,780
Currently, the priorities of our city are not adequately reflected in the budget.

3494
05:01:43,680 --> 05:01:48,120
Also, the governing body should pass an ordinance for the city's contingency fund.

3495
05:01:48,120 --> 05:01:54,380
are sharing those fines while only being used in an emergency as I mentioned on November 10.

3496
05:01:54,900 --> 05:02:00,220
The governing body should provide copper oversight and must fulfill our fiduciary responsibilities

3497
05:02:00,220 --> 05:02:03,400
as we swore to when we took the oath of office.

3498
05:02:03,940 --> 05:02:08,900
When the budget is approved and adopted, that amount is what staff should adhere to.

3499
05:02:09,180 --> 05:02:15,180
Of course there may be a need to make adjustments that happen, but never again should overspending

3500
05:02:15,180 --> 05:02:20,940
being in excess of millions of dollars, millions of dollars.

3501
05:02:20,980 --> 05:02:27,200
This is not just a couple of hundred thousand millions of dollars that is being overspent.

3502
05:02:28,820 --> 05:02:34,320
Now, my watch, I'm not going to just sit here and act like this is just okay.

3503
05:02:35,160 --> 05:02:41,020
It's okay for us to continue having budget amendments in regards to the operations of the

3504
05:02:41,020 --> 05:02:45,900
theater. That is not a priority of our city. What is

3505
05:02:45,900 --> 05:02:50,240
priority are the services that we're supposed to be providing the residents.

3506
05:02:53,100 --> 05:02:53,560
I will continue

3507
05:02:53,560 --> 05:03:00,720
to ask for documents and it is my right and my responsibility. Remember, members of the

3508
05:03:00,720 --> 05:03:06,640
governing body must allow staff to do their jobs without interference and without fear of losing

3509
05:03:06,640 --> 05:03:12,800
their jobs. Simply because they are choosing to do what is right. And staff needs to do

3510
05:03:12,800 --> 05:03:19,260
job they've been hired to do. Our city will be better for it. Based on my GMA training,

3511
05:03:19,480 --> 05:03:25,880
if the council does not approve and adopt the budget tonight, it's not a big deal. Our city

3512
05:03:25,880 --> 05:03:33,060
will just continue operating using the 2025 budget until a new budget is adopted.

3513
05:03:42,540 --> 05:03:43,500
Is that correct,

3514
05:03:43,500 --> 05:03:48,840
25 budget, as we have made it, we have made it because some of the run out of money.

3515
05:03:49,720 --> 05:03:50,880
So until there is funding,

3516
05:03:53,240 --> 05:03:57,600
it may be very difficult or almost impossible to provide some services.

3517
05:03:58,480 --> 05:04:06,420
I would really urge you to approve the budget and make some changes that ever may be applicable.

3518
05:04:06,880 --> 05:04:10,300
That's the reason why I requested General Fund is balanced.

3519
05:04:10,300 --> 05:04:14,800
They probably need a bit to other funds, approve the budget.

3520
05:04:15,440 --> 05:04:18,060
Additions reduction can be done there after.

3521
05:04:18,960 --> 05:04:25,140
Well, I will support approving the FY2026 balance budget

3522
05:04:25,410 --> 05:04:32,100
as it has been presented in the amount of $34 million, $768.

3523
05:04:35,720 --> 05:04:39,060
$768 and $690.

3524
05:04:39,440 --> 05:04:41,220
That's a general fund, that's a general fund.

3525
05:04:41,260 --> 05:04:43,580
$3,476, $8,690.

3526
05:04:44,160 --> 05:04:46,400
When all of the required documents are provided,

3527
05:04:46,820 --> 05:04:49,180
part of the city's charter when adopting a budget.

3528
05:04:49,740 --> 05:04:51,700
If there are any changes made to this budget,

3529
05:04:51,980 --> 05:04:56,780
it should not exceed $34 million, $768,690.

3530
05:04:57,540 --> 05:05:00,160
The bottom line is the general fund

3531
05:05:00,160 --> 05:05:06,260
remain as it has been presented. All of the added positions requested by Mr.

3532
05:05:06,480 --> 05:05:09,900
Ednison are not included in this budget.

3533
05:05:10,600 --> 05:05:12,000
They are included.

3534
05:05:12,280 --> 05:05:18,280
They are included. Well, what about the events director position?

3535
05:05:19,120 --> 05:05:24,060
He requested that before before the budget.

3536
05:05:24,400 --> 05:05:27,600
It was part of the positions that he requested.

3537
05:05:27,600 --> 05:05:35,420
But the requirements, the charter is fact that it's fact that it's fact that in the general fund.

3538
05:05:36,740 --> 05:05:38,060
I'm sorry.

3539
05:05:38,640 --> 05:05:41,380
Those positions are fact that in the general fund.

3540
05:05:41,520 --> 05:05:45,400
Okay, so you've funded the positions even though the process wasn't followed.

3541
05:05:46,000 --> 05:05:51,020
But you approved the position before the budget was even presented.

3542
05:05:51,700 --> 05:05:54,960
Those positions he presented to them.

3543
05:05:54,960 --> 05:05:58,740
You approve, you approve, they can't approve, they can't approve, they can't approve.

3544
05:05:58,740 --> 05:06:02,100
The council approves those positions, yes.

3545
05:06:02,200 --> 05:06:05,960
Without the paying class for all of the positions.

3546
05:06:06,840 --> 05:06:12,020
There are some that have been added now that is to do with public works.

3547
05:06:12,280 --> 05:06:14,620
They have come, they were not, they were not part of that.

3548
05:06:14,640 --> 05:06:16,900
That's public works, they were not part of that.

3549
05:06:17,260 --> 05:06:24,460
But if you remember he presented those requests before the budget was presented.

3550
05:06:27,460 --> 05:06:30,680
So, not approving the budget.

3551
05:06:32,680 --> 05:06:35,640
Well, thank you, sir.

3552
05:06:37,340 --> 05:06:39,940
Okay, so then the purchase of vehicles.

3553
05:06:40,720 --> 05:06:42,000
I see that there is...

3554
05:06:43,300 --> 05:06:46,780
The vehicles were approved by council during their retreat.

3555
05:06:47,000 --> 05:06:49,100
What was remaining was funding.

3556
05:06:50,840 --> 05:06:55,120
And we talked about the funding that there was a source of funding.

3557
05:06:55,120 --> 05:06:57,120
And the vehicles are not for 20 to 26.

3558
05:06:57,460 --> 05:07:00,500
The vehicles will be for 20 to 25.

3559
05:07:01,340 --> 05:07:03,360
They will be bought in this year.

3560
05:07:03,580 --> 05:07:05,260
For 20 to 26 or 25.

3561
05:07:05,560 --> 05:07:05,960
25.

3562
05:07:07,180 --> 05:07:08,800
So they shouldn't be in the budget.

3563
05:07:10,920 --> 05:07:13,900
Now, the council agreed to purchase four vehicles,

3564
05:07:14,460 --> 05:07:18,280
which will replace all the vehicles to four explorers.

3565
05:07:18,300 --> 05:07:18,680
Correct.

3566
05:07:18,680 --> 05:07:21,220
And adding a passenger bayonet.

3567
05:07:21,240 --> 05:07:22,420
A large SUV.

3568
05:07:23,560 --> 05:07:29,980
There are four cancer vehicles. You have the 15th city of the vehicle. You have the

3569
05:07:30,000 --> 05:07:33,700
Sobaba, you have two explorers.

3570
05:07:36,050 --> 05:07:40,690
At first, you said the unit, you needed the taro, but taro is more than the subaba.

3571
05:07:42,450 --> 05:07:53,610
Well, we just said four vehicles, including a large SUV and passenger van. This is one to add that to the governing body's fleet.

3572
05:07:58,260 --> 05:08:03,440
the city council agreed to purchase four vehicles which were replaced the older vehicles

3573
05:08:03,440 --> 05:08:09,600
correct which is two four explorers yes and adding a passenger band and a large

3574
05:08:09,600 --> 05:08:17,560
SUV to the governing body's fleet the larger the SUV is the suburb and suburb and then the

3575
05:08:17,560 --> 05:08:25,980
15 set that's when we have youth council we have to we have to book for them so if you

3576
05:08:25,980 --> 05:08:31,860
We can use it and because if you are traveling as a group, you can use the 15-seat.

3577
05:08:32,540 --> 05:08:37,600
Now, it was said that we would transfer the vehicles that are being replaced to other departments.

3578
05:08:38,260 --> 05:08:39,140
One being mainstream.

3579
05:08:39,960 --> 05:08:46,740
I support moving the other vehicles to event, but I don't support purchasing another $60,000 vehicle.

3580
05:08:47,180 --> 05:08:51,660
When we already have a vehicle that can be transferred, once the new vehicles are received.

3581
05:08:52,120 --> 05:08:54,520
This is 60,000, that's for the event.

3582
05:08:55,460 --> 05:09:04,480
Right. They have money, I think. But the actual, that this city manager can address that.

3583
05:09:04,720 --> 05:09:09,360
The four vehicles that the council has already approved and agreed on,

3584
05:09:12,410 --> 05:09:13,090
the new vehicles

3585
05:09:13,090 --> 05:09:21,310
that we get, the older ones, we had agreed that one would go to events, one would go to Main Street.

3586
05:09:21,950 --> 05:09:27,690
So I just want to make sure that we're not just, every department is just buying vehicles,

3587
05:09:29,150 --> 05:09:34,550
just whatever, when we already had a plan and agreement on how we were going to do this.

3588
05:09:35,150 --> 05:09:39,210
I asked because I noticed that the Ford Explorer, that the city manager drive still doesn't

3589
05:09:39,210 --> 05:09:46,870
have a city decals and it's, he can, if that vehicle, what was that man I didn't cast it?

3590
05:09:46,870 --> 05:09:54,270
the city's logo on it. And if that vehicle can be transferred to another department, I just

3591
05:09:54,270 --> 05:10:03,110
don't understand why we need to buy another vehicle when the council is already addressed the

3592
05:10:03,110 --> 05:10:13,250
need for vehicles in the governing body's fleet. So please help me understand why why we need

3593
05:10:13,250 --> 05:10:22,080
another vehicle for events or a mainstream because it wasn't discussed during the

3594
05:10:22,080 --> 05:10:23,120
budget retreat.

3595
05:10:27,040 --> 05:10:32,640
You asked on the question, I mean, so the understanding for the

3596
05:10:32,640 --> 05:10:36,620
governing body vehicles was these vehicles was dated and we need to turn

3597
05:10:36,620 --> 05:10:40,560
those in and trade those in to get new vehicles. So the goal was to trade those

3598
05:10:40,560 --> 05:10:47,420
vehicles in. Try to man. Yes, or to to sell them. Because putting them back into a

3599
05:10:47,420 --> 05:10:53,460
I mean, we're going to have to replace the vehicles in a few years anyway, because they've been sitting there, so the understanding was to sell those vehicles.

3600
05:10:53,720 --> 05:10:58,500
So if you're saying don't sell those vehicles, then do something else with them. They're not a different guidance.

3601
05:10:59,340 --> 05:11:05,020
But it was our understanding that we was going to sell those vehicles to offset the calls for the new vehicles.

3602
05:11:06,240 --> 05:11:15,920
Oh, okay. I thought they were being transferred. That's what I understood that the governing bodies currently would be transferred to other departments.

3603
05:11:15,920 --> 05:11:18,680
I didn't know that they were going to be sold or traded in.

3604
05:11:18,740 --> 05:11:19,260
Yes, no.

3605
05:11:19,660 --> 05:11:19,720
Okay.

3606
05:11:19,920 --> 05:11:20,600
Thank you.

3607
05:11:20,640 --> 05:11:21,700
Thank you for that.

3608
05:11:22,500 --> 05:11:23,860
Budget for the on-house.

3609
05:11:24,240 --> 05:11:27,540
Mr. Edmondson, you did say during the hometown connections meeting.

3610
05:11:28,100 --> 05:11:32,100
You confirmed that there was funding in the budget to partner with agencies in support

3611
05:11:32,100 --> 05:11:34,100
of the on-house population in our city.

3612
05:11:35,000 --> 05:11:36,080
What does that account number?

3613
05:11:36,860 --> 05:11:38,280
Can you tell me where it is in the budget?

3614
05:11:39,180 --> 05:11:40,000
Please, 26.

3615
05:11:40,400 --> 05:11:41,400
For the on-house.

3616
05:11:41,940 --> 05:11:45,000
But they can go under different several different lines.

3617
05:11:45,000 --> 05:11:50,120
professional service line item that he second make a note of it.

3618
05:12:20,500 --> 05:12:24,200
Okay, so then while he's looking for that Mr. Malazzy.

3619
05:12:24,240 --> 05:12:31,940
I know funding to the DDA budget has increased from 45,000 to over 336,000.

3620
05:12:32,840 --> 05:12:36,660
The full council is unaware of why the budget has increased to this amount.

3621
05:12:36,660 --> 05:12:45,900
The DDA did not present their 2025 unit aid expenses for or during our budget retreat.

3622
05:12:47,240 --> 05:12:55,020
Can you or Mr. Edinson, or maybe the council liaison to the DDA, can explain all the expenses?

3623
05:12:55,240 --> 05:13:03,540
No, during the retreat they provided the presentation and the report that they gave, there is a lot.

3624
05:13:03,540 --> 05:13:06,220
There's a certain question in the spending.

3625
05:13:07,840 --> 05:13:09,420
They get the gifts of presentation.

3626
05:13:11,740 --> 05:13:18,940
After they get the presentation, they submitted their budget request for 2024.

3627
05:13:19,860 --> 05:13:22,840
And that budget was incorporated in here.

3628
05:13:22,840 --> 05:13:24,220
It is as it is.

3629
05:13:24,240 --> 05:13:27,660
It's up to the governing body to say, we are giving for the five.

3630
05:13:28,060 --> 05:13:30,780
We can't give 300 to stick to for the five.

3631
05:13:30,780 --> 05:13:38,280
or we need to give the 100, the 200 is up to you to reduce or to leave it as they requested it.

3632
05:13:39,100 --> 05:13:45,800
So, I'm making a point of order, I'm making another motion to end this, so we continue with the meeting.

3633
05:13:46,160 --> 05:13:52,100
We've been going on now for almost an hour because the presiding officer would not stand up.

3634
05:13:52,620 --> 05:13:55,420
I'm making a motion to end these comments.

3635
05:13:56,360 --> 05:13:59,060
First of all, you know, right, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not standing up.

3636
05:13:59,060 --> 05:14:05,580
She's asked a person to question. She's been going on an hour. You don't have an hour to do that. Well, she's asked a person to question about

3637
05:14:05,580 --> 05:14:14,060
He's responding to her. I've had an hour to do that now. We've got something else now. She had an hour to do that. Well, no, we've been going on an hour now.

3638
05:14:14,460 --> 05:14:23,140
Well, up there, all the other stuff wouldn't have been included. I'm making a motion to end these comments. So we can move on with the meeting and pay attention to both their second to the motion.

3639
05:14:23,640 --> 05:14:24,780
There's a second to the motion.

3640
05:14:26,060 --> 05:14:31,500
You said, you said in the motion, all right, I'm favorite of the motion, to end the comments.

3641
05:14:32,260 --> 05:14:33,060
I need to vote.

3642
05:14:33,920 --> 05:14:35,340
Now for a map finish.

3643
05:14:35,540 --> 05:14:36,820
No, we just made it.

3644
05:14:36,920 --> 05:14:37,640
We had a vote.

3645
05:14:37,940 --> 05:14:39,000
I have questions that I'm asking.

3646
05:14:39,000 --> 05:14:39,860
We have a vote.

3647
05:14:40,360 --> 05:14:40,860
That, that by.

3648
05:14:42,300 --> 05:14:44,960
You still have questions to reference to the question itself.

3649
05:14:45,100 --> 05:14:45,420
I do.

3650
05:14:45,680 --> 05:14:48,300
We had a vote to end comments.

3651
05:14:49,540 --> 05:14:50,820
You had a vote to end content.

3652
05:14:51,400 --> 05:14:52,560
Who's in favor of the motion?

3653
05:14:52,660 --> 05:14:53,340
Who's the favorite?

3654
05:14:53,480 --> 05:14:54,760
You're in favor of the motion?

3655
05:14:55,540 --> 05:14:58,880
You're a family. You're a family. You're a family, and you're a family and see.

3656
05:15:00,000 --> 05:15:04,780
Second, are you favorite Indians? You're favorite Indians. All right, you're favorite

3657
05:15:04,780 --> 05:15:09,360
and you're two. Okay, so the motion pass, we're not going to go any further with these comments

3658
05:15:09,360 --> 05:15:17,860
right now with this budget related motion in pass. You have that clerk? You have that? All right.

3659
05:15:19,200 --> 05:15:23,000
Now, so if that's the case, if we're not talking anymore about the budget, is that correct?

3660
05:15:23,060 --> 05:15:28,580
I want to make a motion. The motion, what you want to make the motion to pass, the budget, as

3661
05:15:28,580 --> 05:15:32,120
described by Mr. Malazie at the amount that he has

3662
05:15:32,120 --> 05:15:35,280
described with $3 million for the amphitheater

3663
05:15:35,280 --> 05:15:38,920
within Debra or the goal, understanding that we

3664
05:15:38,920 --> 05:15:43,240
want to look for additional funding in the budget as described.

3665
05:15:44,660 --> 05:15:45,680
Is there a second to add motion?

3666
05:15:45,920 --> 05:15:46,420
No, second.

3667
05:15:47,500 --> 05:15:48,380
All right, I'll favor the motion.

3668
05:15:48,560 --> 05:15:49,100
Please indicate.

3669
05:15:51,140 --> 05:15:51,900
I'll pose.

3670
05:15:52,040 --> 05:15:53,960
I will pose, and I want to add a comment.

3671
05:15:54,180 --> 05:15:56,540
OK, so motion's passed three to one.

3672
05:15:56,540 --> 05:15:59,900
We've got we've played half playing time for comment motion to adjourn

3673
05:16:02,280 --> 05:16:03,900
All right, most of them may do adjourn

3674
05:16:05,360 --> 05:16:06,800
It's been second and they realize

3675
05:16:07,460 --> 05:16:11,380
You realize there's plenty of other things we have not finished tonight. What is it that we have?

3676
05:16:11,640 --> 05:16:13,780
Well, this we've got this public here, but I saw the most things

3677
05:16:13,780 --> 05:16:14,740
We have to finish

3678
05:16:15,240 --> 05:16:21,320
But if we don't finish that we have to make it have a special call. We're probably here and do we have I'm not going to it this year's number

3679
05:16:22,100 --> 05:16:25,780
I'm not coming up. We're probably here. What all this is public part of public here?

3680
05:16:25,780 --> 05:16:30,340
I'm not a fat man, you know what I just thought about that since the public here

3681
05:16:30,340 --> 05:16:32,600
I didn't ask the public in reference to this budget anyway

3682
05:16:32,600 --> 05:16:36,960
I just got to go through that. I realized that there's a public hearing there's some more items on the

3683
05:16:36,960 --> 05:16:41,560
Okay, if you end the meeting, I'm safe. You end the meeting. Go ahead. I forgot about that

3684
05:16:42,660 --> 05:16:45,820
So in reference to the budget I heard the public hearing

3685
05:16:45,820 --> 05:16:50,440
Let's hold on second so in reference to the budget and and budget itself from

3686
05:16:51,460 --> 05:16:56,180
From a public hearing standpoint, everybody said that's in favor of the budget for the

3687
05:16:56,180 --> 05:17:01,140
standard for the public hearing standpoint on my left side, in the comments in the middle,

3688
05:17:01,520 --> 05:17:02,880
in the comments from my right.

3689
05:17:03,920 --> 05:17:09,720
In the comments against the budget from my left side, in the middle, in the right.

3690
05:17:10,000 --> 05:17:12,140
All you have a comment you want to make.

3691
05:17:13,160 --> 05:17:16,820
This is against the particular budget, this name and address, please.

3692
05:17:18,580 --> 05:17:22,760
My name is Alicia Moore, 509 Country Club Drive Stockbridge.

3693
05:17:23,740 --> 05:17:29,060
I guess my concern is I like a lot of residents.

3694
05:17:29,720 --> 05:17:31,740
I'm very concerned about this amphitheater.

3695
05:17:33,820 --> 05:17:37,160
When Councilwoman Barber is speaking out for the residents,

3696
05:17:37,680 --> 05:17:41,020
it does seem like she's being ignored and overlooked.

3697
05:17:42,200 --> 05:17:45,580
And it seems to me and probably a lot of other residents,

3698
05:17:45,580 --> 05:17:55,260
like it's kind of a personal thing for you guys like for you guys to enjoy and get perks from

3699
05:17:55,260 --> 05:18:01,920
and it does not benefit most of the residents at all the concerts you guys have to exchange,

3700
05:18:01,920 --> 05:18:06,800
you're up on the stage and so that's great for you and for people who can afford it, but there

3701
05:18:06,800 --> 05:18:14,020
are a lot of people who can afford the tickets who would prefer roads, sidewalks, trails and parks

3702
05:18:14,020 --> 05:18:22,680
And you're so dead set on keeping the amphitheater within the city when you don't have the skill sets to run it.

3703
05:18:22,920 --> 05:18:23,600
It's been proven.

3704
05:18:24,160 --> 05:18:27,400
It can be vetted out to a management company.

3705
05:18:27,840 --> 05:18:28,920
This is a municipality.

3706
05:18:29,400 --> 05:18:36,120
It's not a party planner or promoter or anything like that.

3707
05:18:36,420 --> 05:18:37,880
It's an actual municipality.

3708
05:18:38,160 --> 05:18:42,640
You should be working on roads and sidewalks and things that benefit all of the city.

3709
05:18:42,640 --> 05:18:49,180
And I know I speak for a lot of residents, but I feel like, and my voice is trembling because I'm pissed off,

3710
05:18:49,400 --> 05:18:54,640
but I feel like you guys aren't listening and you brush it off and you act like,

3711
05:18:55,000 --> 05:18:59,160
and you make all these excuses about the 32 million dollars. That's a lot of money.

3712
05:18:59,840 --> 05:19:07,680
And I work in finance. I know a little bit about budgeting, so you can't fool me. The money she was

3713
05:19:07,680 --> 05:19:10,080
has been asking for years for budget,

3714
05:19:10,120 --> 05:19:12,700
amendment meetings to go over the budget,

3715
05:19:13,240 --> 05:19:15,480
meet your budget reviews, you brush your ass

3716
05:19:15,480 --> 05:19:17,880
and then when everything blows up,

3717
05:19:18,620 --> 05:19:19,720
it's where we didn't know,

3718
05:19:19,920 --> 05:19:21,400
but now we have a process in place.

3719
05:19:21,540 --> 05:19:24,240
The process I already should have always been in place

3720
05:19:24,240 --> 05:19:27,440
because she has been asking for these types

3721
05:19:27,440 --> 05:19:30,500
of financial reviews since she got here.

3722
05:19:31,100 --> 05:19:35,540
So make no mistake, the public sees through it

3723
05:19:35,540 --> 05:19:42,400
the fact that you are so adamant on keeping this amphitheater in health, I'll tell you, it's

3724
05:19:42,400 --> 05:19:47,860
male to high heaven. It's very suspicious. That's not good.

3725
05:19:48,020 --> 05:19:53,400
Thanks for coming. All right, so the most of us already made prior to this about ending or

3726
05:19:53,400 --> 05:19:57,460
about proving the budget as it has been stated. So I don't think we have to do that again,

3727
05:19:57,620 --> 05:20:01,880
I'll close the public hearing on that aspect. Now, if you want to close the meeting,

3728
05:20:01,880 --> 05:20:04,020
There's many more things for us to cover.

3729
05:20:05,080 --> 05:20:07,720
I'm not finished, so if we close the meeting,

3730
05:20:07,980 --> 05:20:09,080
the several things of cover,

3731
05:20:09,220 --> 05:20:10,960
so we're going to have to have before the end of the year,

3732
05:20:11,240 --> 05:20:12,600
we're going to have to have a special call meeting

3733
05:20:12,600 --> 05:20:13,960
to go through this.

3734
05:20:14,880 --> 05:20:16,380
You know, do you know what I mean?

3735
05:20:16,380 --> 05:20:17,060
Oh, there's a problem.

3736
05:20:17,060 --> 05:20:18,800
I mean, we can approach the best year.

3737
05:20:18,800 --> 05:20:20,880
We don't have to do these other things this year,

3738
05:20:21,160 --> 05:20:21,520
do we?

3739
05:20:21,720 --> 05:20:23,120
What else do we have to do?

3740
05:20:23,360 --> 05:20:24,180
No, I'm serious.

3741
05:20:24,380 --> 05:20:25,840
I'm not going to have another special call meeting.

3742
05:20:25,900 --> 05:20:25,920
I'm not going to.

3743
05:20:25,920 --> 05:20:27,500
You got a second reading of text amendment.

3744
05:20:27,640 --> 05:20:30,900
You got a couple of second reading of text amendment on here.

3745
05:20:31,360 --> 05:20:40,860
Well, the sun your gender. So we have it. We have them vote it, but Mayor, if I may, because I haven't really talked about the budget and I do want to address the comment about that.

3746
05:20:41,100 --> 05:20:44,220
Hold on, hold on a second. I haven't talked about the budget.

3747
05:20:44,640 --> 05:20:50,720
Hold on a second. Let me explain something to you. If we cancel, if you closing me now, do you have several of the text amendments here.

3748
05:20:51,000 --> 05:20:55,860
We have one, two, three, four, six text amendments as some new business items to cover.

3749
05:20:55,860 --> 05:21:00,880
three new business item to cover as well as a health insurance, the way-fighting contract,

3750
05:21:01,380 --> 05:21:06,440
and then you still got the actual, the actual, the actual, what is it called, the,

3751
05:21:06,440 --> 05:21:11,400
the way funding contracts. All the city events are on there. Now those are still need to be approved.

3752
05:21:13,060 --> 05:21:16,900
A grant in these three. We got several things still to do.

3753
05:21:17,120 --> 05:21:22,940
Let me just say this. We sat here and listened to somebody talk over an hour. I only want

3754
05:21:22,940 --> 05:21:26,640
to address the things that we have to get.

3755
05:21:27,000 --> 05:21:29,900
We have our staff here, so I'm gonna even live in the city.

3756
05:21:30,400 --> 05:21:31,740
A lot of them don't live in, I mean,

3757
05:21:31,840 --> 05:21:34,040
we have people who have to travel.

3758
05:21:35,020 --> 05:21:36,380
And I'm not trying to be funny,

3759
05:21:37,540 --> 05:21:41,740
but we have been sitting here for an hour.

3760
05:21:41,880 --> 05:21:44,020
For a long time,

3761
05:21:46,350 --> 05:21:47,490
and I'm trying to,

3762
05:21:47,750 --> 05:21:49,850
but I'm looking at here is,

3763
05:21:49,850 --> 05:21:53,710
let's look at the agenda on what items that we have to get done

3764
05:21:53,710 --> 05:22:01,910
for 2025 and anything that needs to go on that can wait to 2026 when the meeting can be controlled.

3765
05:22:02,250 --> 05:22:11,790
Let's put it on that because I'm not going to sit here and constantly go through another

3766
05:22:11,790 --> 05:22:19,630
hour or two of this. We worked too. I've been up since 8, 7, 30 this morning. I haven't went home.

3767
05:22:19,630 --> 05:22:29,970
I'm not trying to be funny, but what I'm saying is some of this was unnecessary, and let me enjoy

3768
05:22:30,000 --> 05:22:37,480
As the amphitheater real quick, let me just a budget because I haven't had my chance at all. I haven't talked about a budget at all.

3769
05:22:38,300 --> 05:22:57,300
When no one else, when we get up here, we don't want to talk negative. And it's okay if we talk to our city manager and our staff and ask questions, it's not necessarily behind the scenes, so we don't waste time and we're not out here all night to one, to a clock in the morning.

3770
05:22:58,080 --> 05:23:04,260
That's not a secret, we're not attacking either, we're not saying y'all, we're not saying,

3771
05:23:04,760 --> 05:23:09,640
oh, they drew a district line, but they drew it a map when we didn't, we said it over and over again.

3772
05:23:09,680 --> 05:23:18,780
And we hear this every single month, we hear it all the time, accusations, and none of them can be proven

3773
05:23:18,780 --> 05:23:23,020
because it didn't happen in that way, at least it didn't happen from my perspective.

3774
05:23:24,180 --> 05:23:27,440
And what I'm saying to you is we can move forward.

3775
05:23:30,180 --> 05:23:34,720
We gave an explanation just because,

3776
05:23:34,840 --> 05:23:38,360
and I'm not ignoring Councilwoman Barbers comments.

3777
05:23:38,500 --> 05:23:41,600
I'm tired of them because they've been the same comments.

3778
05:23:42,260 --> 05:23:43,880
And just because a person says,

3779
05:23:44,060 --> 05:23:47,220
I can say something and the Council will want to agree.

3780
05:23:47,480 --> 05:23:48,760
If they don't agree, they just don't agree.

3781
05:23:48,880 --> 05:23:50,500
We have to move on.

3782
05:23:51,220 --> 05:23:51,720
That's democracy.

3783
05:23:51,720 --> 05:23:59,420
the majority wins. That's it. And if they don't like it, oh well. But just because

3784
05:23:59,420 --> 05:24:06,700
someone says it to their blind faces, I mean we're going to change our minds. It doesn't

3785
05:24:06,700 --> 05:24:07,760
mean we're wrong.

3786
05:24:10,100 --> 05:24:14,240
At what point is it that there's a line where it's not about friendships,

3787
05:24:14,940 --> 05:24:16,200
it's about, it's true.

3788
05:24:18,660 --> 05:24:25,620
It's adult, it's adulting. It's professionalism, it's common sense.

3789
05:24:26,720 --> 05:24:35,900
It is what it takes. Yes, it's professionalism. It's everything that you, if you don't agree with it,

3790
05:24:36,140 --> 05:24:38,480
just because you said it, don't mean it's going to happen.

3791
05:24:42,660 --> 05:24:47,200
And so that was, you know, everybody has their opinion.

3792
05:24:47,940 --> 05:24:52,160
And if the majority agree with that opinion, then it will show.

3793
05:24:52,520 --> 05:24:54,020
But that's not the way it works.

3794
05:24:56,180 --> 05:24:57,360
It's not showing that way.

3795
05:24:57,360 --> 05:25:02,380
So there's nothing we can, you can't get mad because that doesn't mean we're not listening.

3796
05:25:02,980 --> 05:25:06,440
I mean, we're tired of hearing the same thing over and over, we're tired of being attacked every

3797
05:25:06,440 --> 05:25:08,880
every week or accused.

3798
05:25:10,990 --> 05:25:12,370
That's all that is.

3799
05:25:14,990 --> 05:25:19,710
Moving on, what Mayor, I would like for us to really

3800
05:25:19,710 --> 05:25:29,490
look at this rest of this main division and get Mr. Edmist of Edmist, Edmist, and opinion on what we

3801
05:25:29,490 --> 05:25:37,270
have to get done for this year as you go out tonight at 12 o'clock midnight or whatever

3802
05:25:37,270 --> 05:25:42,450
time it is after listening to a filibuster for over an hour.

3803
05:25:43,750 --> 05:25:46,050
Well, I'm going to give you a opinion, sir, but there's several different things.

3804
05:25:46,050 --> 05:25:48,670
I would imagine that we need to make sure you need a lot of it.

3805
05:25:49,030 --> 05:25:54,150
Well, you've got six text amendments, you've got several text amendments, one second,

3806
05:25:54,170 --> 05:25:57,190
six text amendments on here, three different business items.

3807
05:25:57,190 --> 05:26:02,870
You've got health insurance issues, way finding contract, and once again, the actual actual

3808
05:26:04,130 --> 05:26:10,050
2020-6 calendar of events and things that you said you wanted to make sure to mix on the justice on

3809
05:26:10,050 --> 05:26:16,150
Because some additional budget items or percent of some additional funding and a budget per se. You mentioned that earlier

3810
05:26:16,630 --> 05:26:20,570
So it's a bunch of things still to go through here and now I would pick all these items

3811
05:26:20,570 --> 05:26:25,890
I would think all these items would have to be approved before the end of the year. I would think that that's why they're on to the Jennifer

3812
05:26:25,890 --> 05:26:37,990
all the same. I'm not done. People have been proved by the end of the year. You know, so my thought process is simply this if we don't approve the night, I would think we still have to have a special call being sometime for the end of the year to do that.

3813
05:26:38,170 --> 05:26:39,410
That's my thought process.

3814
05:26:39,990 --> 05:26:43,410
They just said we can amend the but we're going to have to amend the budget anyway.

3815
05:26:43,950 --> 05:26:47,490
And so I'm okay, but amending it and making those changes as needed.

3816
05:26:47,710 --> 05:26:53,910
A lot of my events that we want to give to the city to handle instead of us having that we've already done them.

3817
05:26:53,910 --> 05:27:02,150
we can spearhead. It's not, it's not that urgent. We've sat here. This entire time. If you

3818
05:27:02,150 --> 05:27:08,730
want the agenda done, then you should stop it. Yeah, well, I'm ready to move forward. I mean,

3819
05:27:08,830 --> 05:27:18,110
I need to go on the circus went on. Second reading, tax amendment case, TX 2025-04 for

3820
05:27:18,110 --> 05:27:24,790
building materials, city-wide, consideration of the ordinance to revive section 4.4.4,

3821
05:27:25,050 --> 05:27:30,070
and at the Unified Development Code, UDC to establish updated requirements for building

3822
05:27:30,070 --> 05:27:35,210
cloud materials and non-resistant, non-residential and multifamily structures.

3823
05:27:35,790 --> 05:27:41,210
Hose ordinance outlines material standards to promote out-contextual consistency, durability,

3824
05:27:41,910 --> 05:27:42,530
neighborhood compatibility.

3825
05:27:43,170 --> 05:27:44,110
Mr. Anderson, please.

3826
05:27:44,110 --> 05:27:51,370
Yes, we heard this at the first reading at the last city council work session at the end of November

3827
05:27:51,370 --> 05:27:56,680
There there have been no changes to the document since so I just request the boat

3828
05:27:57,490 --> 05:28:02,410
All right, is there a motion to set this please so move is there a second

3829
05:28:02,410 --> 05:28:06,030
For Mr. Alexander Mr. Bear on fair, please indicate

3830
05:28:06,030 --> 05:28:08,010
So it passes

3831
05:28:09,960 --> 05:28:18,340
Second reading text amendment case TX 2025 on went my homensick. I forgot something. This is still public hearing aspect.

3832
05:28:18,580 --> 05:28:19,860
I'm sorry about that.

3833
05:28:20,580 --> 05:28:26,920
So in reference to this text amendment, this made any comments for for this on my very left side.

3834
05:28:27,220 --> 05:28:28,120
For in the middle.

3835
05:28:29,200 --> 05:28:32,740
For in on my right and the economists against my left side.

3836
05:28:32,760 --> 05:28:33,880
The middle.

3837
05:28:33,880 --> 05:28:34,880
All right.

3838
05:28:35,160 --> 05:28:38,040
So no comments one way or four against.

3839
05:28:38,960 --> 05:28:46,460
Second, reading text amendment case, TX, 2025, that's 05, for two car garages, citywide, consideration

3840
05:28:46,460 --> 05:28:54,400

3841

3842
05:29:03,130 --> 05:29:05,390
and each unit with new flexors.

3843
05:29:05,410 --> 05:29:07,750
This amendment update, so I'll talk to the standards

3844
05:29:07,750 --> 05:29:10,670
to promote adequate off-street parking

3845
05:29:10,670 --> 05:29:12,470
and consistent residential design.

3846
05:29:12,950 --> 05:29:13,930
Once again, Mr. Anderson, please.

3847
05:29:15,710 --> 05:29:16,770
From last,

3848
05:29:19,040 --> 05:29:19,680
at the end of November,

3849
05:29:19,680 --> 05:29:22,160
the November of 29th, city council work session,

3850
05:29:22,940 --> 05:29:25,080

It's 300 dollars and I spoke to some of the businesses down there.

3906
05:33:06,280 --> 05:33:08,020
They felt like 300 dollars was fair.

3907
05:33:08,400 --> 05:33:13,280
And also, you can get a year, a year pass for a thousand dollars.

3908
05:33:13,720 --> 05:33:16,620
Okay, so the fee is not a thousand dollars anymore.

3909
05:33:16,800 --> 05:33:20,160
It's 300 dollars for perfect event.

4018
05:38:17,920 --> 05:38:18,840
Now this is in 40.

4019
05:38:19,440 --> 05:38:20,040
Okay, thank you.

4020
05:38:20,300 --> 05:38:20,400
Thank you.

4021
05:38:21,140 --> 05:38:26,060
Council consideration to approve change order number three for the walk away pine view and

4022
05:38:26,060 --> 05:38:30,700
memorial park lift station for some main rehabilitation project with so

4023
05:38:30,700 --> 05:38:36,400
So, construction LLC, amount of $250,000, $216,000,

4024
05:38:36,420 --> 05:38:38,000
funding sources from Splash 6.

4025
05:38:38,200 --> 05:38:38,660
Mr. Aaron, please.

4026
05:38:38,800 --> 05:38:40,980
Yes, Mr. Mayor, staff and the city manager.

4027
05:38:41,040 --> 05:38:43,620
We had a meeting with EPD and they requested us

4028
05:38:43,620 --> 05:38:46,700
to buy past pumps to each of these lift stations,

4029
05:38:47,000 --> 05:38:50,520
so that any event will lose power or some event like that.

4030
05:38:50,640 --> 05:38:52,480
We can buy past the pump installations

4031
05:38:52,480 --> 05:38:53,820
and not have sewer spill.

4032
05:38:54,420 --> 05:38:56,860
So, we're asking council to approve this.

4033
05:38:58,440 --> 05:39:00,880
Okay, so I know what you're question I'm sorry

4034
05:39:02,980 --> 05:39:11,020
Every time these projects come forward they're coming out of the new splot six. There's no there's no fun to pay for any of these projects

4035
05:39:13,000 --> 05:39:15,020
You would have to take it out of the budget

4036
05:39:15,820 --> 05:39:19,680
But these are Alex funds are allocated in splot six

4037
05:39:19,680 --> 05:39:29,040
I don't know where we got so many other things to do in Splash 6 year you're all in your projects are coming out of the new when you have funds to pay for these

4038
05:39:30,140 --> 05:39:32,120
Not in this amounts or and

4039
05:39:32,680 --> 05:39:40,660
This is something that EPD is requiring us to do it and it's a capital project and most time capital projects are not taken out of the operating budget

4040
05:39:40,660 --> 05:39:47,460
Right, but I'm saying isn't isn't isn't there

4041
05:39:47,460 --> 05:39:54,120
take a little fun. You can do it out of the sewer budget, but most of the time I say capital

4042
05:39:54,120 --> 05:39:57,680
product is that's why you include them in spots because of the expenditures.

4043
05:39:58,660 --> 05:40:03,460
I just want to understand that every time this comes forward, this is less money that we

4044
05:40:03,460 --> 05:40:09,660
have in spot six when there is some funds that you could take. These projects out of that are asking

4045
05:40:09,660 --> 05:40:13,560
for the new funds every time. So how much, Mr. Malazi come up here?

4046
05:40:15,920 --> 05:40:18,000
How much money is in the water sewer fund?

4047
05:40:22,130 --> 05:40:31,590
So if you recall, we had to reduce the water and sanitation, because of the depression

4048
05:40:31,590 --> 05:40:38,770
of the fund balance, and we don't have to balance our budgets using the funds, but

4049
05:40:38,770 --> 05:40:40,470
they have been doing that.

4050
05:40:41,130 --> 05:40:44,450
So barely there is enough.

4051
05:40:44,450 --> 05:40:53,970
And we had also to, first point, we don't even know how much they see some money that

4052
05:40:53,970 --> 05:40:56,170
he projects within water.

4053
05:40:56,950 --> 05:40:57,570
Is it a waterfall?

4054
05:40:58,750 --> 05:40:58,930
Yeah.

4055
05:41:00,230 --> 05:41:00,830
So,

4056
05:41:03,480 --> 05:41:06,000
it's not enough.

4057
05:41:08,120 --> 05:41:12,060
Remember, what if anything happens, it's

4058
05:41:14,530 --> 05:41:16,650
a, it's capital projects that you're talking about,

4059
05:41:16,650 --> 05:41:20,950
It should be anything, if we can't complete it, stay without the good,

4060
05:41:20,950 --> 05:41:22,890
find balance, we may be in trouble.

4061
05:41:24,710 --> 05:41:28,130
I understand everything that comes forward is out as far as six.

4062
05:41:28,510 --> 05:41:29,770
We're trying to do other projects.

4063
05:41:29,870 --> 05:41:33,470
That's the issue we have with this process, with just this process,

4064
05:41:34,410 --> 05:41:37,110
because all this process, we have not created it.

4065
05:41:37,110 --> 05:41:40,010
Just the same case, we said four million,

4066
05:41:42,150 --> 05:41:42,870
four parts.

4067
05:41:43,410 --> 05:41:47,830
We did it in to define, that's what I'm working with them, that we should define it

4068
05:41:47,830 --> 05:41:53,330
which are there. So if there will be some projects that we can defile as defile. But otherwise,

4069
05:41:53,650 --> 05:42:04,550
plus six plus six, remember we get a six hundred thousand math. And already here we have taken

4070
05:42:04,550 --> 05:42:14,430
any, that we have just approved the two million for the project, building for the public work

4071
05:42:14,430 --> 05:42:20,670
building. Two million, that is the you're talking about more than four months or six

4072
05:42:20,670 --> 05:42:24,930
months actually. Six, six, six, six, about four months. But this is exactly what I'm

4073
05:42:24,930 --> 05:42:28,310
saying. It is that all the money is going to the public works out at this

4074
05:42:28,310 --> 05:42:33,250
last six. We're never going to get any other project done. It's like these

4075
05:42:33,250 --> 05:42:38,530
particular projects keep coming forward. So I'm asking to see other alternatives to

4076
05:42:38,530 --> 05:42:42,790
taking all of the new money as it comes in in the budget. So not you don't have

4077
05:42:42,790 --> 05:42:51,930
I ask that tonight, but send us the documentation on how much money is in these various funds and alternatives to taking the new money all the time.

4078
05:42:52,510 --> 05:42:55,250
Next meeting will, even before the next meeting.

4079
05:42:55,250 --> 05:42:56,130
Just email it to me.

4080
05:42:56,210 --> 05:42:56,670
We'll be great.

4081
05:42:56,770 --> 05:42:57,790
Or keep your post-ed.

4082
05:42:58,810 --> 05:43:01,070
If you email, you've got to email to everybody across.

4083
05:43:01,190 --> 05:43:01,970
It's all of us.

4084
05:43:02,350 --> 05:43:03,010
It's all of us.

4085
05:43:03,010 --> 05:43:03,330
Anyway.

4086
05:43:04,430 --> 05:43:06,050
So, I need a motion to approve.

4087
05:43:06,310 --> 05:43:08,050
It was, I just need to vote on it, right?

4088
05:43:09,230 --> 05:43:09,710
Okay.

4089
05:43:09,710 --> 05:43:12,750
We'll all favor the motion, please indicate.

4090
05:43:13,530 --> 05:43:15,430
Thank you, sir.

4091
05:43:15,470 --> 05:43:21,670
Mr. Howard, you have the motion been approved and a person that made the motion

4092
05:43:21,670 --> 05:43:22,730
seconded?

4093
05:43:26,650 --> 05:43:27,670
All right.

4094
05:43:27,970 --> 05:43:31,490
Counseling consideration to approve the award of Governor's Office for Highway Safety

4095
05:43:31,490 --> 05:43:35,650
Heat Grant, an amount of 268,000, $920.

4096
05:43:35,650 --> 05:43:42,490
The effect of date of the grant is 1 December 2025 through September 30th, they're 2026 a lot for

4097
05:43:42,490 --> 05:43:48,130
causing curve within this period. Our reimbursement at the rate of 100% of the proof federal funds

4098
05:43:48,130 --> 05:43:52,690
allocated above Mr. Malazian, I guess the assistant she got for here.

4099
05:43:52,950 --> 05:43:58,150
I've been though my name is there, but I would leave that one to our grant right and fortunate that

4100
05:43:58,150 --> 05:44:05,690
he has left, so Chief Deputy would do that on behalf of the PD.

4101
05:44:07,270 --> 05:44:09,190
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

4102
05:44:09,510 --> 05:44:16,570
As you just read, we have been awarded a grant amount of $260,928 from the Georgia

4103
05:44:16,570 --> 05:44:19,310
Governor's Highway Office of Highway Safety.

4104
05:44:19,980 --> 05:44:27,530
This grant will fund two additional police officers dedicated to traffic enforcement, as well

4105
05:44:27,530 --> 05:44:32,270
us two forward interceptor patrol vehicles and all the associated bidding equipment.

4106
05:44:32,870 --> 05:44:38,850
These resources will be dedicated exclusively to enhancing traffic enforcement and addressing

4107
05:44:38,850 --> 05:44:41,450
traffic related violations within the city of Stockbridge.

4108
05:44:41,870 --> 05:44:46,610
As you know, there were delays in the federal funding to the state that pushed the grant

4109
05:44:46,610 --> 05:44:49,450
award back to December of this year.

4110
05:44:49,470 --> 05:44:52,510
The award actually went effective on December 1st.

4111
05:44:52,510 --> 05:44:56,730
This grant terminates September 30th of 2026.

4112
05:44:56,730 --> 05:44:59,630
So we have about nine months to

4113
05:45:00,000 --> 05:45:07,040
Complied with the effectiveness of this grant. If a past, the resolution will read as follows. A resolution

4114
05:45:07,040 --> 05:45:11,540
authorized in the mayor on behalf of the city of Stockbridge to accept the grant from the Georgia

4115
05:45:11,540 --> 05:45:17,520
Governors' Office of Highway Safety in the amount of 268,000, $9,028, throughout the rise of the city

4116
05:45:17,520 --> 05:45:21,640
treasurer to amend the budget where necessary to reflect an appropriate revenue source, authorizing

4117
05:45:21,640 --> 05:45:26,220
the city manager to approve all necessary purchases required to fulfill the requirements of this grant

4118
05:45:26,220 --> 05:45:30,500
I have to see the total amount of grant award, authorizing the City Clerk to test the signatures

4119
05:45:30,500 --> 05:45:35,280
that fix the seal of the city of stock bridge, as necessary, repealing all inconsistent

4120
05:45:36,620 --> 05:45:40,220
resolutions providing for an effective date and for other purposes.

4121
05:45:42,020 --> 05:45:51,780
So a second, okay, from Ms. Gantt to Mr. Barry, I'm very pleased to indicate, thank you very much.

4122
05:45:51,780 --> 05:45:54,780
What is next deals with health insurance?

4123
05:45:55,720 --> 05:46:01,780
I want to imagine this is, this is you, you saw who's going to talk about,

4124
05:46:02,680 --> 05:46:04,200
Frank's going to talk about health insurance, sir?

4125
05:46:12,720 --> 05:46:16,480
So, here's the, we have two health insurance.

4126
05:46:16,780 --> 05:46:18,800
We have what we have now, signal.

4127
05:46:19,600 --> 05:46:24,860
Then we have a United Health Insurance.

4128
05:46:24,860 --> 05:46:27,980
Then we are trying to look for the other one.

4129
05:46:28,060 --> 05:46:34,820
All of them, they were to, even if we get it united, it will still expire in April.

4130
05:46:35,380 --> 05:46:41,880
So they agreement, or the discussion was, why don't we just have to have what we have in place now, signal?

4131
05:46:42,760 --> 05:46:46,960
Then they come April.

4132
05:46:47,500 --> 05:46:52,820
By that time, you united, you have presented, whoever we have again, they will have presented.

4133
05:46:52,820 --> 05:47:04,000
So, he has just for you to approve what we have already taken, which we have already defected in our budget that you have just approved.

4134
05:47:06,120 --> 05:47:07,120
Some of them.

4135
05:47:07,120 --> 05:47:07,640
Well, one second.

4136
05:47:09,240 --> 05:47:09,980
It's not changed.

4137
05:47:11,720 --> 05:47:12,800
But we have defected.

4138
05:47:13,120 --> 05:47:15,080
We'll take this or we'll be a hassle.

4139
05:47:15,580 --> 05:47:17,680
Why would we consider changing?

4140
05:47:19,620 --> 05:47:19,760
Okay.

4141
05:47:21,460 --> 05:47:24,860
This is something else we need.

4142
05:47:25,900 --> 05:47:32,120
Yeah, the thing is, Mr. Manajay is talking about the United is the lower.

4143
05:47:33,220 --> 05:47:40,140
Even if it's lower, the United will have to end it by April.

4144
05:47:40,480 --> 05:47:45,160
But at the same time, it's not what we are factored in the budget that you have approved it.

4145
05:47:45,380 --> 05:47:49,480
So, wanted to have more than just one United.

4146
05:47:51,440 --> 05:47:54,880
We currently have signal right now.

4147
05:47:55,060 --> 05:47:58,680
We have one, because...

4148
05:48:01,040 --> 05:48:02,640
What is the recommendation?

4149
05:48:05,520 --> 05:48:06,700
What's the recommendation right now?

4150
05:48:06,780 --> 05:48:08,760
The recommendation is to continue with what we have.

4151
05:48:08,800 --> 05:48:09,240
With signal.

4152
05:48:09,980 --> 05:48:10,720
Okay, so moved.

4153
05:48:10,740 --> 05:48:12,920
Then United will come.

4154
05:48:13,160 --> 05:48:14,760
We'll have also to present here.

4155
05:48:14,940 --> 05:48:17,320
It should be represented that one with others.

4156
05:48:18,000 --> 05:48:18,840
In April.

4157
05:48:18,880 --> 05:48:19,340
Yes.

4158
05:48:19,640 --> 05:48:20,700
Not before April.

4159
05:48:20,700 --> 05:48:21,060
Of course.

4160
05:48:21,160 --> 05:48:22,380
It would be effective at that time.

4161
05:48:22,380 --> 05:48:29,820
Okay, all right, and that'll be for the following year or for the following year because this one wanted to end

4162
05:48:29,820 --> 05:48:37,220
December, but it has not worked. We couldn't wait and it's December and they say no will compete or something once

4163
05:48:37,220 --> 05:48:41,800
We they realized what that we have another thing the quotation of

4164
05:48:41,800 --> 05:48:44,920
United health the way they're quoted to see

4165
05:48:45,460 --> 05:48:51,540
Lower than the signal, but it's not yet implemented. I got it, but we keep going back and forth there

4166
05:48:51,540 --> 05:48:56,260
every other, every other year and people, you have to change sometimes you have to change your

4167
05:48:56,260 --> 05:49:01,520
provider. I'm just too much in right now. If y'all are recommending that we stay who we got,

4168
05:49:02,640 --> 05:49:05,100
let's stay with who we have. I'm relying on experts,

4169
05:49:05,780 --> 05:49:10,760
so moved. Is there a second? Second. Because every time we change, there's always some drama.

4170
05:49:10,760 --> 05:49:13,560
Okay Ms. Gantt to Ms. House and I'm free please indicate.

4171
05:49:13,840 --> 05:49:14,280
I'm sorry.

4172
05:49:14,300 --> 05:49:16,230
I may be.

4173
05:49:17,790 --> 05:49:24,830
It's $2,6,000, not $128,2,6,8,9,2,8.

4174
05:49:25,370 --> 05:49:25,810
I'm sorry.

4175
05:49:26,290 --> 05:49:26,750
Excuse me.

4176
05:49:27,950 --> 05:49:28,530
I'm sorry.

4177
05:49:28,830 --> 05:49:28,970
Excuse me.

4178
05:49:29,090 --> 05:49:29,550
That's wrong.

4179
05:49:30,070 --> 05:49:30,530
Health insurance.

4180
05:49:30,930 --> 05:49:31,070
I'm sorry.

4181
05:49:31,210 --> 05:49:31,850
I don't know what to.

4182
05:49:31,930 --> 05:49:33,130
No, I don't have the informant.

4183
05:49:33,870 --> 05:49:34,430
What's the amount?

4184
05:49:34,710 --> 05:49:34,970
I'm sorry.

4185
05:49:36,570 --> 05:49:38,050
Why do you know what we need to amount?

4186
05:49:38,650 --> 05:49:38,750
Right now.

4187
05:49:38,790 --> 05:49:40,730
It's what's the post-unrette.

4188
05:49:40,730 --> 05:49:47,090
Is it on the is it in the in your packet I'll give you them

4189
05:49:47,850 --> 05:49:52,770
I've had it right can I give I'll give you the amount

4190
05:49:53,310 --> 05:50:01,150
I mean, I'm not guess it the public needs to know it but I'm just asking was it something that was a requirement normally

4191
05:50:01,150 --> 05:50:08,690
I'm moving both making these motions. I got you. All right, you'll get you frankly get the tree

4192
05:50:08,690 --> 05:50:13,890
All right, the way finding contract, who's handling that?

4193
05:50:15,210 --> 05:50:18,810
The city manager, so I'm going to put it in priority.

4194
05:50:20,860 --> 05:50:22,140
Can you

4195
05:50:25,380 --> 05:50:26,040
present it?

4196
05:50:31,000 --> 05:50:31,240
Good evening.

4197
05:50:31,340 --> 05:50:35,020
Once again, this contract was already a pre-approved last year.

4198
05:50:35,140 --> 05:50:37,360
We're trying to go into phase two and three.

4199
05:50:38,440 --> 05:50:40,500
The option was a five-year contract.

4200
05:50:40,540 --> 05:50:42,580
I think this is going into year two.

4201
05:50:43,500 --> 05:50:48,440
And they want to go ahead and get started and have already prepared the way financed on it.

4202
05:50:48,600 --> 05:50:54,840
They just wait for the contract to be renewed so they can go ahead and start putting up the way financed on it that we got.

4203
05:50:55,260 --> 05:50:57,400
The start faced three.

4204
05:50:57,620 --> 05:50:58,380
Phase three.

4205
05:50:58,700 --> 05:51:02,000
So do we need a financial aspect? How much is left on this?

4206
05:51:02,000 --> 05:51:02,280
Yes.

4207
05:51:02,300 --> 05:51:04,100
We have the breakdowns and the packet.

4208
05:52:05,030 --> 05:52:05,470
Yes.

4209
05:52:05,470 --> 05:52:05,590
It

4210
05:52:08,530 --> 05:52:16,050
was

4211
05:52:19,830 --> 05:52:24,270
a breakdown, I had it, he's got to come to it.

4212
05:52:24,970 --> 05:52:26,230
I'm not going to speak with my one.

4213
05:52:26,890 --> 05:52:28,150
I have face to tears.

4214
05:52:28,570 --> 05:52:28,690
Okay.

4215
05:52:31,140 --> 05:52:40,020
Okay, so we had face one, which was $157,900 in $2.75, which is already been paid.

4216
05:52:40,300 --> 05:52:46,100
Phase two is $400,000 and phase three is $1.4 million.

4217
05:52:46,140 --> 05:52:50,940
So, face three is referring to as a sign to President Jason Nass, $1.4 million.

4218
05:52:51,840 --> 05:52:54,160
All right, and that's coming out of what fund?

4219
05:52:54,860 --> 05:53:03,160
So, a portion of this had came out of ARPA, but now they are seeing SPLOS 6.

4220
05:53:04,300 --> 05:53:04,560
SPLOS 6.

4221
05:53:04,560 --> 05:53:05,020
SPLOS 6 is well.

4222
05:53:06,340 --> 05:53:08,340
1.4 million SPLOS 6.

4223
05:53:08,800 --> 05:53:13,360
Right, and these are the city limit signs that we've been waiting on to go up in the various

4224
05:53:13,360 --> 05:53:17,060
other signs to go as far to the package we've already presented with, right?

4225
05:53:17,240 --> 05:53:18,020
Yes, sir.

4226
05:53:18,920 --> 05:53:20,540
And the funding has been identified.

4227
05:53:20,940 --> 05:53:21,560
Yes, sir.

4228
05:53:21,880 --> 05:53:22,440
So moved.

4229
05:53:22,440 --> 05:53:29,400
I think. Okay, for Ms. Eisenhower, Ms. Kent, I'm very pleased in the cake. Okay, so in that

4230
05:53:29,400 --> 05:53:34,700
decision. All right. Now, what was left here? That's far deals with the consent agenda item

4231
05:53:34,700 --> 05:53:41,300
that we move into 2020, this counter-event city events, mainstream events, and mayor council initiatives

4232
05:53:41,300 --> 05:53:48,120
that we put to very end here on the general. So, and that was based, I guess, Ms. Eisenhower.

4233
05:53:48,260 --> 05:53:51,980
Yes, I'm concerned about that and how it affected some of these events affected the budget,

4234
05:53:51,980 --> 05:53:53,140
need to be congratulated?

4235
05:53:53,880 --> 05:53:54,780
Yeah, certainly.

4236
05:53:55,380 --> 05:53:57,820
I think a couple of things need to happen, certainly.

4237
05:53:59,380 --> 05:54:01,800
I run the Women's History Month event as a Council

4238
05:54:01,800 --> 05:54:02,400
initiative.

4239
05:54:02,860 --> 05:54:05,440
The budget has been a significant amount.

4240
05:54:06,820 --> 05:54:10,720
It now tops 12, sometimes up to 15 million dollars.

4241
05:54:10,960 --> 05:54:13,340
That's an amazing event that needs to go

4242
05:54:13,340 --> 05:54:16,640
of under the city offices to be able to run it

4243
05:54:16,640 --> 05:54:18,800
to be able to continue it at the same standard.

4244
05:54:18,800 --> 05:54:24,860
And also, Councilman Thomas's event, which is the African-American history of month event,

4245
05:54:25,160 --> 05:54:26,380
that event was amazing.

4246
05:54:26,640 --> 05:54:31,920
You see all the participation in the room field with so many positive stories and the

4247
05:54:31,920 --> 05:54:33,000
CDCs performed.

4248
05:54:33,680 --> 05:54:39,720
I was spoken with Mr. Cloud, Council Elect from District 2.

4249
05:54:40,040 --> 05:54:45,500
He says he's willing to be able to step in and partly work on that, but certainly he

4250
05:54:45,500 --> 05:54:48,660
I don't want to have to place all the burden of raising the funding on them.

4251
05:54:48,900 --> 05:54:53,840
So the African-American history month and the women's history month events would then

4252
05:54:53,840 --> 05:55:00,380
become city events where the whole city would participate and not just myself, I certainly

4253
05:55:00,380 --> 05:55:05,580
would contribute, but everybody would be able to participate and lead that event as a wonderful

4254
05:55:05,580 --> 05:55:05,940
event.

4255
05:55:07,200 --> 05:55:11,120
I put to do that, we had to make some adjustments in the budget, is that correct?

4256
05:55:11,840 --> 05:55:12,560
That's correct.

4257
05:55:12,560 --> 05:55:20,840
And the ball festival. I'm sorry. Right. I want the ball festival to be a city event as well.

4258
05:55:21,660 --> 05:55:24,060
We've done well, but I think.

4259
05:55:24,320 --> 05:55:28,700
Which event that was, man? The ball festival that I spent that I've sponsored.

4260
05:55:29,880 --> 05:55:35,980
I think it'll be a great event for the city to take over as well.

4261
05:55:36,920 --> 05:55:40,220
The line dance and classes are doing great and I have some other things that are going.

4262
05:55:40,220 --> 05:55:43,520
the kickbacks are going to be my thing.

4263
05:55:44,460 --> 05:55:47,900
And so there's other things that we have in store,

4264
05:55:48,420 --> 05:55:51,880
we really don't have to, you know, as a council person,

4265
05:55:52,440 --> 05:55:55,420
and members, I wouldn't.

4266
05:55:55,440 --> 05:55:57,480
And we can talk about that more during the retreat,

4267
05:55:57,660 --> 05:56:02,200
but we should consider whether we're spearheading

4268
05:56:02,200 --> 05:56:04,860
and participating and joining in with the events team,

4269
05:56:05,940 --> 05:56:09,940
more, but allowing the events team to handle the events.

4270
05:56:09,940 --> 05:56:17,560
And we handled it with them, but I want to push, I want to send that along with it as well.

4271
05:56:17,840 --> 05:56:24,900
I certainly support that you've done an amazing job that event and to see the kids out there and join themselves.

4272
05:56:25,220 --> 05:56:28,700
And we want to maintain those events at that particular level.

4273
05:56:28,920 --> 05:56:31,300
So I certainly do support that.

4274
05:56:31,300 --> 05:56:35,820
And these events, when they grow and we start them, they start off in their infancy.

4275
05:56:35,820 --> 05:56:40,580
we carry them through certainly to council member with be able to stay with that event on a

4276
05:56:40,580 --> 05:56:45,020
committee or what have you to be able to continue to guide it, but a funding them appropriately

4277
05:56:45,580 --> 05:56:52,400
is what we need to do. And certainly as I mentioned, Mayor, our council elect Mr. Cloud was stepping

4278
05:56:52,400 --> 05:56:57,900
in the African-American history of it. All of us will participate. But since it was a district two event

4279
05:56:57,900 --> 05:57:03,640
certainly, I think he should get first dives to be able to participate in it. But those three events

4280
05:57:03,640 --> 05:57:08,140
are magnificent and they need to be carried on with full funding by the city.

4281
05:57:09,020 --> 05:57:12,820
So how do we go about that because if that was funded by the council, the council initiatives

4282
05:57:13,380 --> 05:57:16,760
somehow money needs to be relocated to a different spot.

4283
05:57:17,020 --> 05:57:17,400
Correct.

4284
05:57:17,860 --> 05:57:24,540
So we'll take that funding that's in the governing authority budget and move that over to

4285
05:57:24,540 --> 05:57:24,560
it.

4286
05:57:24,560 --> 05:57:24,900
No.

4287
05:57:25,600 --> 05:57:26,120
No.

4288
05:57:26,420 --> 05:57:26,440
No.

4289
05:57:26,660 --> 05:57:27,480
No sir.

4290
05:57:27,640 --> 05:57:29,000
Also you say add additional.

4291
05:57:29,640 --> 05:57:29,680
Yes.

4292
05:57:29,680 --> 05:57:42,700
Okay, we can find a new funding for that to be able to do this appropriately to make the funding appropriate for these particular events, and this is where sponsorships come in at.

4293
05:57:42,760 --> 05:57:52,940
When you have 300 women sitting in that room and you're honoring the women who have had their head down, man, somebody is willing to put their name on that particular event.

4294
05:57:52,940 --> 05:58:01,100
the African-American history event and certainly the NAACP or someone will probably be willing to help with those particular events

4295
05:58:01,100 --> 05:58:06,080
So we're charging you and finding the additional funding for this particular endeavor

4296
05:58:08,700 --> 05:58:12,760
All right, so that's the case that are standing in a motion to approve that

4297
05:58:14,020 --> 05:58:23,040
We don't have a budget for it, but that we need to consider that and it didn't necessarily mean that we're going to be amending the budget like in January if ever anyway

4298
05:58:24,660 --> 05:58:27,440
But that'll be that's for 2025 funds.

4299
05:58:27,740 --> 05:58:30,220
For what? That's for 2025 funds.

4300
05:58:30,700 --> 05:58:32,200
For the funds that are coming in.

4301
05:58:32,320 --> 05:58:33,340
Correct. Correct.

4302
05:58:33,660 --> 05:58:35,440
When we do that, we can still know that.

4303
05:58:35,480 --> 05:58:38,480
It was the crime and amending when we need to.

4304
05:58:38,740 --> 05:58:39,340
What's the crime?

4305
05:58:39,940 --> 05:58:41,600
No, so what we can do.

4306
05:58:41,840 --> 05:58:44,120
I mean, that's kind of early to amend the 26 budget.

4307
05:58:44,220 --> 05:58:46,280
But at the end of the day, we're saying that.

4308
05:58:46,700 --> 05:58:48,300
We need to find funding for that.

4309
05:58:48,300 --> 05:58:51,060
That will be the time to do that as well.

4310
05:58:51,060 --> 05:58:53,040
just to make that amendment to show.

4311
05:58:53,100 --> 05:58:54,800
To find the funding for the events,

4312
05:58:55,080 --> 05:58:57,040
because they're later in the year,

4313
05:58:57,120 --> 05:58:59,500
there's one May and then you got October.

4314
05:58:59,620 --> 05:59:00,260
We got February.

4315
05:59:00,460 --> 05:59:02,060
You got, oh, you do have February.

4316
05:59:02,140 --> 05:59:04,220
Right, so we put it in the budget tonight.

4317
05:59:04,240 --> 05:59:05,400
We can wait to meet you.

4318
05:59:05,480 --> 05:59:07,060
I mean, what we can do, I mean,

4319
05:59:07,120 --> 05:59:09,560
we can add some funds now, but I don't know.

4320
05:59:09,600 --> 05:59:10,640
We have the retreat, right?

4321
05:59:10,840 --> 05:59:13,420
I mean, we have our retreat, correct.

4322
05:59:13,700 --> 05:59:14,260
There you go.

4323
05:59:14,460 --> 05:59:15,860
But you got a plan to event.

4324
05:59:16,440 --> 05:59:19,380
After going to America history month, event is in February.

4325
05:59:19,380 --> 05:59:26,040
the women's history month is in March, so certainly we discussed additional funding, and those

4326
05:59:26,040 --> 05:59:31,960
events certainly were qualified on some type of tourism or some type of community support market

4327
05:59:31,960 --> 05:59:32,780
in the city.

4328
05:59:38,210 --> 05:59:43,030
I saw what actually we need to do here. Well we have inscriptions to find the money

4329
05:59:43,030 --> 05:59:47,390
and then we will find the best way to do it. So yeah, you're in the form of vote on this is what you tell them.

4330
05:59:47,390 --> 05:59:54,030
Of course, the other thing is what we could do is go ahead and approve the calendar with the

4331
05:59:54,030 --> 05:59:59,970
So I'm going to be at it and then you will endeavor to find the money and then go ahead and vote because we want to

4332
06:00:00,000 --> 06:00:12,880
We have the events in there, so we have to have a budget and a vote in order to do it. So I'm going to go ahead and make a motion to approve the calendar as recommended with the three events that I say.

4333
06:00:12,920 --> 06:00:18,760
The women's history month event, the African American history event and the fall of festival will become in city events.

4334
06:00:18,760 --> 06:00:24,340
Is there a second of that motion for to misguide second of all purpose in the case?

4335
06:00:24,340 --> 06:00:30,620
See now it's a session. Thank you gentlemen. Citywide development authority meeting second two is at least months 6 p.m. City Hall

4336
06:00:31,960 --> 06:00:32,440
