00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:18,420
Would like to make that motion.

00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,720
Council member Snyder.

00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,480

There's a first and second to prove the regular agenda as presented.

35
00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:36,240
We'll call both

36
00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:45,600
motion passes a zero with one absent moving ahead to ceremonies.

37
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:53,340
We have one item item four a world Alzheimer's month proclamation I'll go and read that into

38
00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:54,120
the record.

39
00:04:57,010 --> 00:04:59,970
Whereas Alzheimer's disease is the other form.

40
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:29,980
Of dementia represented global, a growing global and local health priority impacting memory, thinking, behavior and ability to perform daily activities for millions of individuals worldwide and residents within our own community and whereas the world Alzheimer's month is an international campaign dedicated to raising awareness, challenging the stigma that surrounds dementia and fostering a

41
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,980
more inclusive and understanding

42
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:33,740
of environment for those affected.

43
00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:41,180
Whereas early diagnosis in access to acute information

44
00:05:41,180 --> 00:05:46,060
for critical to our critical to helping individuals

45
00:05:46,060 --> 00:05:49,120
and families at understanding the challenges

46
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,080
they are experiencing and connect with the essential care,

47
00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:56,040
guidance, and support systems.

48
00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:59,100
And whereas the city of Brighton recognizes the profound dedication

49
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:05,740
of family members, caregivers, and medical professionals who provide compassionate care and support

50
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:12,760
to neighbors living with dementia. And whereas by participating in the global movement,

51
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:19,320
bright and joined communities around the world, in wearing purple, sharing educational resources

52
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:25,780
and advocating for continued research toward effective treatments and the ultimate care.

53
00:06:25,780 --> 00:06:30,220
here. Now, therefore, we resolved that our Gregor Mills mayor, the city brightened on behalf

54
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:36,260
of the city council, do hereby proclaim September 26 as world Alzheimer's month in the city

55
00:06:36,260 --> 00:06:42,100
of Brighton, and I call upon all the residents to learn more about brain health, support, local

56
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:48,920
caregivers, and help build a community that embraces and protects the dignity of everyone living

57
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:56,220
with dementia on this first day of September, 2026, and I'll just say, having had my father

58
00:06:56,220 --> 00:07:03,000
that had dementia later diagnosed with Alzheimer's and later that was revised to some other

59
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,240
dementia in Parkinson's. I can tell you that this is very important that we all get out there

60
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:16,200
and support our community because almost everybody in this room will, if you don't already,

61
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:22,020
will likely know somebody that's gone through some sort of a dementia or ultimately Alzheimer's.

62
00:07:23,340 --> 00:07:27,720
City Manager Martinez, who is here to receive this? Thank you, Mayor. Here tonight to receive

63
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,220
this is Ashley Wilk, the Suvac Manager. Come on over.

64
00:07:36,490 --> 00:07:39,970
Good evening, Mayor Mayor Potem and members of

65
00:07:39,970 --> 00:07:45,030
Council. Thank you for the opportunity to be here this evening as we recognize world Alzheimer's

66
00:07:45,030 --> 00:07:50,870
awareness month and the importance of supporting individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's disease

67
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:56,650
and other forms of dementia. Alzheimer's reaches far beyond a person who receives the diagnosis,

68
00:07:56,990 --> 00:08:02,630
it impacts spouses, children, grandchildren, friends, caregivers, and entire communities.

69
00:08:03,530 --> 00:08:10,390
Already in 2026, it's estimated that 7.4 million Americans, each 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's

70
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:16,970
dementia. While millions of Americans are providing unpaid care for someone living with Alzheimer's

71
00:08:16,970 --> 00:08:22,590
or other forms of dementia. Those numbers remind us that awareness matters because chances are,

72
00:08:22,590 --> 00:08:26,310
like Mayor Mills said, we all know someone who's been affected by this disease.

73
00:08:26,890 --> 00:08:30,830
At Eagle View, our mission is to create more than a place for senior support to

74
00:08:30,830 --> 00:08:35,950
the patent activities. We strive to create a community where seniors can learn, build relationships,

75
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:41,990
say active and most importantly, say connected. This month, we are proud to offer several

76
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:47,350
opportunities focused on awareness, education, and connection. On September 4th, we will

77
00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:52,630
host building brain health, facilitated by the Alzheimer's Association. This program will provide

78
00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:58,270
information about dementia, building brain healthy habits, and ways to support ourselves and others.

79
00:08:58,830 --> 00:09:03,510
It will also promote a new support group starting in October. Beginning in October,

80
00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:09,390
Eagle View will begin hosting in Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group, facilitated again by the

81
00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:14,810
Alzheimer's Association. This will provide caregivers with a welcoming space to connect, share stories,

82
00:09:15,090 --> 00:09:19,990
and find support and practical resources. These opportunities are made possible because of the

83
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:25,610
dedication of a program coordinator, Madison Westmirland. Madison has built meaningful partnerships

84
00:09:25,610 --> 00:09:32,610
with Alzheimer's Association and works to bring resources and support to a community and support

85
00:09:32,610 --> 00:09:34,590
that we haven't had in Brighton before.

86
00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:39,590
More broadly, the entire team at EagleView works every single day

87
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:42,950
to create an inclusive environment where every senior has an opportunity

88
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:46,270
to participate, connect, and feel that they belong.

89
00:09:46,430 --> 00:09:49,010
And I'm incredibly proud to be a part of this team.

90
00:09:49,650 --> 00:09:52,810
We are so grateful to the City of Brighton for allowing us to recognize

91
00:09:52,810 --> 00:09:57,170
this important month and share the work that is happening at EagleView this month as well.

92
00:09:57,170 --> 00:09:59,970
Tonight, alongside me receiving this part.

93
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,680
Commission. I have a Madison members of my team at Eagle View and I'm also honored to have a couple members from our senior advisory board.

94
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:14,320
I would love to invite them up and we would love to snap a photo with you guys as well. Thank you.

95
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,100
Great. Thank you.

96
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:24,440
Before we do that, I think council member today I'll head something to say to go ahead.

97
00:10:26,910 --> 00:10:28,410
I'm going to try not to cry.

98
00:10:30,030 --> 00:10:31,070
Thank you.

99
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:42,550
I know this is something that the communities needed for a while, I believe, and thank you for making it happen, and I just wanted to say, yes, it affects everybody.

100
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:48,490
Everybody at some point, you're going to be affected by this and I forgot my purple light for God, I'm sorry.

101
00:10:48,950 --> 00:10:53,890
But I'm so happy, and I did the other thing I wanted to say was just, give the word out.

102
00:10:53,890 --> 00:11:12,750
Hello everybody and anybody that you know that this is happening because I know I went looking and there wasn't anything here and I know my family personally desperately need something and then so I know that there's numerous amounts of other people in the community and thank you so much for

103
00:11:12,750 --> 00:11:19,630
of course happen and I know it's going to be very helpful for for many people.

104
00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:22,270
Absolutely. Thank you for your support, too, Anne.

105
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:27,190
Let's go ahead and have all all that are here to support this humble.

106
00:11:27,790 --> 00:11:32,950
Let's come on over and we can even get Council to get a little closer to.

107
00:11:33,050 --> 00:11:34,710
I'll come down with the proclamation

108
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:03,140
that is all I have for ceremonies.

109
00:13:03,220 --> 00:13:06,740
Next item is public invited to be heard on matters not on the agenda.

110
00:13:06,740 --> 00:13:11,560
I have four people signed up to speak on items that are not on the agenda.

111
00:13:11,620 --> 00:13:13,180
We'll start with Pete Fibbs.

112
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:14,600
I'm on over Pete.

113
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,240
State your name for the record. You've got three minutes.

114
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:20,800
Thank you, Mayor.

115
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,380
My name is Pete Fibbs. I'm from most of you guys know me.

116
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,860
I'm a long time bright and resident.

117
00:13:27,580 --> 00:13:30,480
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the last public meeting.

118
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:32,080
I looked like a very busy night.

119
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:33,440
I did take the time to listen.

120
00:13:33,660 --> 00:13:36,380
No, I'm my fellow citizens concerns regarding dates.

121
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,780
Data centers in our community.

122
00:13:37,780 --> 00:13:46,020
And I believe it was only touched on once, but I came tonight to remind most of you you voted to approve in 2024 under a consent agenda.

123
00:13:46,940 --> 00:13:48,280
This is state ability plan.

124
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,060
And if you I've got some highlights from the state ability panel like Doritia.

125
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:57,920
This is from City Manager Martinez's letter.

126
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,740
I encourage you to join us in collaboration effort towards more sustainable future.

127
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,280
Small actions taken by each of us whether it's conserving energy and water,

128
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,680
participating in local sustainability events, advocating for environment or friendly practices,

129
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,840
contributing significantly to our city's sustainable goals.

130
00:14:15,660 --> 00:14:20,040
Based on the city's 24th, 24th sustainability plan, the city of Brighton adopted

131
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:26,340
in a plan, established a clear vision, reducing resource consumption, protecting public health,

132
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,160
conserving water, improving air quality, and ensuring new development supports long-term

133
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,160
community sustainability, a large-scale data center,

134
00:14:34,260 --> 00:14:37,120
may conflict with several this plan-stated objectives

135
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,720
and priorities, unless you can demonstrate

136
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,740
substantial migration measures and community benefits.

137
00:14:45,860 --> 00:14:48,500
Conflict with water conservation goals,

138
00:14:49,460 --> 00:14:51,340
reduce commercial industrial water use,

139
00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:53,920
incentive, advise water-conserving features,

140
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,680
and new developments update water conservation plans,

141
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,900
improving public stewardship and limited water resources.

142
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,600
These people aren't bringing their own water with them, you shouldn't allow them. Increased energy consumption.

143
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:17,620
Faced on energy consumption reduced residential, commercial, industrial energy use, increased renewable energy throughout the community, increased building,

144
00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:22,460
electrification, access, and manage, energy, consumption,

145
00:15:24,140 --> 00:15:27,860
ability. Based on energy, too, I would recommend that

146
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:31,460
councilman on green, recuse himself, many discussions of

147
00:15:31,460 --> 00:15:33,780
voting on this, based on he represented power.

148
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,540
Potential air quality issues in consistency with community

149
00:15:37,540 --> 00:15:42,080
priorities, our community said 74% were concerned about

150
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,380
our water. Water conservation, water reduction, renewable

151
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:55,120
energies, increasing our energy costs, and efficient water use, wildlife and ecosystem disruption

152
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:02,720
or air quality, environmental and justice and quality of life, I wish I had more time

153
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,200
to read this.

154
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:05,460
First of all, I've heard a written notes here.

155
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:08,780
I usually speak from the heart, but I wanted to make sure I got all my details out to you.

156
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,240
Most of you all voted for this sustainability thing.

157
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,500
If you haven't read it recently, I'd like you to review it.

158
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:17,180
Read what you guys committed to when it wasn't somebody throwing money at your

159
00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:21,280
promise in property taxes. There's a lot of unfifilled blanks on the

160
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,160
preservation. I read that didn't that's wanted to state goals, but

161
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,000
there's no goals set or no goals accomplished. This is your

162
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640
chance to meet. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

163
00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:34,480
Next Tom Lampo.

164
00:16:44,830 --> 00:16:46,210
All right. Hello to everybody. Hello to

165
00:16:46,210 --> 00:16:49,730
Brighton. Good to be here again. I'm Tom Lampo and I'm here to

166
00:16:49,730 --> 00:16:52,270
you lift Brighton up to Lord and Prayer. So please join me in

167
00:16:52,270 --> 00:16:55,150
prayer. Heavenly Father in Jesus name. We thank you for giving

168
00:16:55,150 --> 00:17:00,990
us this day. We welcome your presence here now as city businesses discuss and we welcome you wherever

169
00:17:00,990 --> 00:17:06,910
we are. Brightness is your city. Bless it with prosperity. You fill our lives with experiences that

170
00:17:06,910 --> 00:17:11,470
cause emotions and feelings within us. You let us experience growth through the life we live.

171
00:17:11,890 --> 00:17:16,450
Sometimes there is pain and disappointment and are the times there is joy and fulfillment. No matter

172
00:17:16,450 --> 00:17:22,510
you are always with us. Joshua, one, nine states, heaven and not, commanded you, be strong and courageous.

173
00:17:22,510 --> 00:17:28,250
do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

174
00:17:29,170 --> 00:17:33,690
We can't see the future, we don't know what lies ahead. We'll walk with you and find comfort

175
00:17:33,690 --> 00:17:40,350
knowing you are always with us. Our schools are in full swing. Some parents rely on others to

176
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:45,510
transport their children to school. A lock can happen on the roads. Conditions change quickly

177
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:51,310
and decisions need to be made just as fast. So to all the drivers of our buses, the transport

178
00:17:51,310 --> 00:17:57,350
our children, we give them Proverbs 3-5-6, which states, trust in the Lord with all your heart,

179
00:17:57,570 --> 00:18:02,010
and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways, submit to Him, and He will make

180
00:18:02,010 --> 00:18:02,950
your path straight.

181
00:18:04,010 --> 00:18:09,750
Keep our drivers in tune with you, focus their attention on the safety of our kids, grant them

182
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:14,070
wisdom and changing situations, and keep everyone safe on our busy roads.

183
00:18:15,630 --> 00:18:19,530
There are a lot of messages that confront us each day because there is a spiritual battle

184
00:18:19,530 --> 00:18:25,390
our souls. The deceiver would like nothing more than to keep us from your presence. And even with all

185
00:18:25,390 --> 00:18:30,570
our wisdom and knowledge, we still fall for the schemes of the devil. So tonight we claim for

186
00:18:30,570 --> 00:18:37,450
our lives Ephesians 5, 6 through 10 which states, let no one deceive you with empty words for because of

187
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:43,210
these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore, do not become partners

188
00:18:43,210 --> 00:18:49,190
with them. For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children

189
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:52,310
of light and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.

190
00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:58,670
We seek you tonight to walk with us and to keep us from messages that bring deceit and

191
00:18:58,670 --> 00:19:05,170
lies to us. Let our trust be in you. You are God and we are your people and Jesus name

192
00:19:05,170 --> 00:19:08,410
we pray. Amen. Thank you guys. Have a nice night.

193
00:19:09,150 --> 00:19:12,090
Thank you, Tom. Next, Natalie Bolders.

194
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:15,660
Come on over. You're all three minutes.

195
00:19:15,660 --> 00:19:16,480
You

196
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,600
have to forgive me Mayor, it's been a while since I've done one of these.

197
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,140
My name is Natalie, and I'm here on behalf of M.B.

198
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Towing.

199
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:32,420
We are a family owned and operated business established in 1985, and we've established a working

200
00:19:32,420 --> 00:19:35,940
relationship with the city of Brighton and Police Department in 1995.

201
00:19:36,620 --> 00:19:41,800
The reason for my being here tonight is we recently were not selected as a towing operator

202
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,220
for the city of Brighton after 30 years.

203
00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:53,500
We believe that the proposal that we submitted didn't accurately reflect the 30-year subservice that we have providing to the city.

204
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:59,520
My reason again for me being here is to ask council and any city officials.

205
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:28,600
If we are able to residmet our proposals so that we can, again, be reconsidered to be put back on the toy rotation. Again, the proposal that was submitted on our behalf is not an accurate representation. I know that when we spoke to some city officials and other city officials who also didn't respond, they expressed to us that they felt that we lacked the confidence in the ability to do our work.

206
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,240
Again, I believe that is an inaccurate representation of our company.

207
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:40,420
We have done all of our operations for the city with 100% professionalism, 100% responsiveness,

208
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:41,700
day and night.

209
00:20:41,820 --> 00:20:45,500
We've always been there for the city of Ryan, as well as the right and police department,

210
00:20:46,180 --> 00:20:55,500
again, so for I think the city to say that they feel the lack of confidence in us is a little

211
00:20:55,500 --> 00:21:00,360
This morning, and if I'm being honest, a little hurtful, again, after 30 years of service,

212
00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:08,120
I think we've earned the right to be heard, and I think to be reconsidered, again, to

213
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:13,000
be able to submit our proposal, as far as being put back on the rotation for the city

214
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,260
of Brighton and Brighton Police Department.

215
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:21,680
Again, I think 30 years of service, we've earned that right, and if we were a new company,

216
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:23,700
I could understand one minute.

217
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:30,480
not being, you know, not having the confidence, but again, I believe working alongside with you

218
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,820
guys, you guys know our company, you know, or equipment, you know what we're capable of.

219
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:43,140
Again, I believe that we've earned the right to be heard and for our proposal to be

220
00:21:43,140 --> 00:21:48,520
able to be resatmitted. Thank you. Thank you, Natalie, for bringing that to our attention.

221
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,420
Next, Laurie Morris, one over, you'll have three minutes.

222
00:22:02,430 --> 00:22:05,590
My name is Laurie Morris, 1733 Wildflower Drive.

223
00:22:06,090 --> 00:22:10,890
I'm an almost 20-C-E resident of Brighton, and I showed up here two weeks ago with around

224
00:22:10,890 --> 00:22:17,490
150 people in addition to an approximately same-sized crowd at anything great farms library

225
00:22:17,490 --> 00:22:20,350
a few days later to talk about data centers.

226
00:22:20,830 --> 00:22:24,530
Thank you to the Council members who showed up from Commerce City, Thorton, and Brighton.

227
00:22:24,530 --> 00:22:29,470
It has been two weeks and we haven't heard anything about discussion for moratorium.

228
00:22:30,170 --> 00:22:37,810
75% of Americans are against data centers, especially the large ones for AI in their communities.

229
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:46,910
I did see the city of Brighton has a new draft 2026 comprehensive plan with an industrial area on the north side of Brighton,

230
00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:49,790
around the same size as the whole city when I moved here.

231
00:22:49,790 --> 00:22:54,430
And the only code potential we see the planning department addressing is sound.

232
00:22:54,990 --> 00:22:57,530
I was hoping the city was going to take this seriously.

233
00:22:58,350 --> 00:23:05,010
To piggyback on peats comments, yes, the 2024 Sustainability Plan is not filled in with baselines or growth.

234
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:10,210
And any water, a data center needs, is in direct competition to water rights for farmers,

235
00:23:10,810 --> 00:23:15,010
and the central Colorado Water Conservancy District.

236
00:23:15,010 --> 00:23:19,150
We continue to ask for a data center moratorium for five years.

237
00:23:19,330 --> 00:23:22,990
We will continue to come back in larger numbers again if we need to.

238
00:23:23,170 --> 00:23:24,270
Thank you for your time.

239
00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:25,530
Thank you, Lori.

240
00:23:26,170 --> 00:23:27,830
That is all I have sent it to speak.

241
00:23:28,910 --> 00:23:30,130
We will move on.

242
00:23:30,270 --> 00:23:33,210
Next is item 9A.

243
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:37,450
A resolution of the City Council of the City of Brighton, Colorado.

244
00:23:38,790 --> 00:23:44,270
Authorizing assignment to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority of the private activity bond.

245
00:23:44,270 --> 00:23:50,630
allocation of the city, pursuant to the Colorado private activity bond, ceiling,

246
00:23:51,870 --> 00:23:58,590
allotment, allocation act, authorizing the mayor to execute said assignment on behalf of

247
00:23:58,590 --> 00:24:04,370
the city and authorizing the city manager to execute such documents and undertake such tasks

248
00:24:04,370 --> 00:24:14,430
as maybe required to effit, effit, effituate, set a, set assignment, city, manager Martinez.

249
00:24:14,950 --> 00:24:21,010
Thank you mayor here to inform you about the change to what you originally authorized back

250
00:24:21,010 --> 00:24:25,050
in April, is finance director, Katrina Azure.

251
00:24:26,130 --> 00:24:28,510
Thank you Michael, good evening council members.

252
00:24:28,810 --> 00:24:33,870
This is largely an administrative update too, and I admit that you approved earlier this year.

253
00:24:33,870 --> 00:24:38,330
I don't have a presentation because it is a pretty brief item, but I'll walk you through what the key points are.

254
00:24:39,270 --> 00:24:47,090
So in April, I came to you with a proposal to assign the city's allocation of private activity bonds to a project developed by Dominium.

255
00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:49,010
They're a developer of affordable housing.

256
00:24:49,210 --> 00:24:55,990
They presented to you a project for senior affordable housing that could utilize the city's allocation of private activity bonds.

257
00:24:56,610 --> 00:24:59,950
So on May 5th we proposed to you a resolution to formalize that.

258
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:29,980
That went through everything was moving along, and then we heard from Dominium just a few weeks ago that, well, Dominium is a developer. They're not an authorized issuer of the bonds. So this is not terribly uncommon. They often times developers work with organizations like the Colorado Housing Finance Association to issue the bonds for them in support of the project. And that's the situation that happened here. So what they requested was that we re-do that resolution to assign the bonds to Chaffa. Still in support of the same project. So the project you heard about in April and

259
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:32,920
approved and may that's still the project that's being proposed.

260
00:25:33,140 --> 00:25:36,820
We just need to redo the assignment to Chaffa because they are an authorized

261
00:25:36,820 --> 00:25:40,160
issue of the bonds and dominium as an organization is not.

262
00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:44,960
So the Resolutionary packet would rescind that original resolution and then

263
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,360
reassign the bonds to Chaffa.

264
00:25:46,660 --> 00:25:47,820
So happy to answer questions.

265
00:25:48,660 --> 00:25:49,180
Questions?

266
00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:50,100
Council Member Green.

267
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,000
Thank you very much.

268
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,540
Does Chaffa take any sort of administrative fee or anything from this for the

269
00:25:54,540 --> 00:25:55,260
issuance?

270
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,580
That I do not know.

271
00:25:57,980 --> 00:25:58,820
Thank you.

272
00:25:58,820 --> 00:26:04,900
other questions not this is before council for consideration it

273
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:11,560
looks like

274
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,240
there we go council member today I

275
00:26:19,300 --> 00:26:24,160
move to approve 9 a that's number

276
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:30,280
worth thank you mayor I'll second to there's the first and second to approve 9 a

277
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,420
roll call vote

278
00:26:37,020 --> 00:26:41,040
motion passes 9 to 0 thank you

279
00:26:44,020 --> 00:26:45,840
not even 6 30 we're to

280
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:46,560
reports.

281
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:50,860
I'll be brief in a couple of things.

282
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:56,260
I was at our Dr. Cog meeting a couple of weeks ago.

283
00:26:56,660 --> 00:27:04,020
There was an update on the 2050 regional transportation plan, and there was also a presentation

284
00:27:04,020 --> 00:27:09,740
that talked about both micro mobility, which is, you know, like your e-scooters kind of thing,

285
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:14,620
and also micro transit, similar to what we're doing with the bright and bald and what areas

286
00:27:14,620 --> 00:27:23,120
do it with 8B and otherwise it was a pretty short meeting. The week after that I was at

287
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:30,140
the Dr. Cog Awards along with Council Member Worth. And then I also attended a chamber after

288
00:27:30,140 --> 00:27:41,560
hours last week over it was at the Wingshack. And then coming up this week, next week, it's the

289
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:48,320
25th anniversary of 9-11, and Brighton Fire is a very nice ceremony every year at their

290
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:55,920
fire station 52. So plan on being there to that. There's also next week a ribbon cutting

291
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:04,940
to the new i25 and highway 7 beginnings of their mobility. But I say beginnings because it's

292
00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:10,760
kind of a abbreviated version of what they intend to actually build out into the future. And so

293
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:20,200
excited that that project is in full swing. So otherwise that's my report. Go on next to any

294
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:25,940
reports by department directors before 630. And I'm kind of sad to say this because I think

295
00:28:25,940 --> 00:28:30,900
the record is 631 if I'm not mistaken. So we're not going to beat that tonight. But I do have to

296
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:35,460
we need to call for break. I mean we do actually let's take a break now. We actually have two reports

297
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:39,920
by directors tonight. So first I'll call a director of the break who has a couple of updates on some

298
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,140
projects for you. Director LeBree.

299
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:49,940
Right. I've got a PowerPoint. I'm like the

300
00:28:49,940 --> 00:28:53,780
lack of information. Not information. I believe in pictures. So hopefully

301
00:28:53,780 --> 00:28:57,640
pictures come out well. I went out there today to take them. I actually flew in a

302
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:03,200
drone. So good evening Mayor Mayor Pro Temp and City Council. I just want to

303
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,380
give it up date on two projects. Mainly the disabled bullet, disabled boulevard

304
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:10,540
intersection improvements. And we're also going to talk a little bit about the

305
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:14,720
micro-transit program and give you update or where we are with those.

306
00:29:15,140 --> 00:29:17,380
So first, save a boulevard intersection improvements.

307
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,620
As you can see, this is really correct.

308
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,460
This is some of the activities happening at 136 right now from this picture.

309
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,140
We got heavy equipment out there.

310
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,300
We got utilities company out there, relocating utilities, and we're moving.

311
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,220
And so we'll go one by one on what to save a boulevard look.

312
00:29:37,220 --> 00:29:46,160
So the first intersection that's actually completed where we still may have some striping to do is the east one thirty second avenue and stable.

313
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,900
There we just did a pavement widening.

314
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,960
We did added additional turn lanes and we did some restriping.

315
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:57,000
So that one was easy slam dunk got it completed.

316
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,980
Intersection we currently working on right now.

317
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,160
1.36. We're going to convert that intersection to a roundabout. We're going to have some curb gutter to the intersection,

318
00:30:07,780 --> 00:30:16,220
some drainage infrastructure, which is key. That's always the challenge that we have. It's trying to get the drainage pipes in and in and around utilities that may be in our way.

319
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:27,060
And then around about, actually, we'll be able to accommodate future for laying stable, but right now we'll be able to accommodate four lanes, but we're going to be building it as a two-lane roundabout.

320
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:35,920
And in 144th, again, we're just wide in that area where new signal in the ultimate location,

321
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,600
we're going to add turn lanes, left and right turn lanes, and all directions,

322
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,740
except for the southbound direction, there will be no dedicated right turn lane

323
00:30:45,740 --> 00:30:47,380
for the southbound direction.

324
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,060
Again, drainage infrastructure is to be installed, we're doing a curb intersection.

325
00:30:53,380 --> 00:31:10,660
And then finally, the Bromley Lane and Sable in fourth, again, replacing those spanned wire signals with a new signals and pulls, we're going to improve the lane alignment at ADA compliant ramps and all four corners.

326
00:31:11,460 --> 00:31:19,980
Repave the South half intersection of half South half that intersection and then add a pedestrian refuge island in the area

327
00:31:19,980 --> 00:31:22,960
That's planned for early 2027

328
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,460
So here's the actual project schedule

329
00:31:26,460 --> 00:31:34,100
We working with the along with utilities the drainage outfall now was on winter 2025 all way through the summer

330
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,220
26 that's with all the activity has been going on for the last several months

331
00:31:39,220 --> 00:31:44,520
The stable intersection design was completed by December of 2025.

332
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,620
Then we began to procurement process as well as the right-of-way process.

333
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,040
The right-of-way process was completed summer of 2026,

334
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,780
where we got access to all the property we need.

335
00:31:58,380 --> 00:32:02,200
We're still in the stages of closing out some of those property acquisitions,

336
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:04,580
but we least got their approval to access it.

337
00:32:04,580 --> 00:32:07,040
That's why we're able to get the equipment going.

338
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:14,180
And then the stable intersection construction again started this summer, and it will go through early 2027.

339
00:32:15,340 --> 00:32:20,460
And so that's actually the plan that we have, and I can open it up for any questions that you may have.

340
00:32:22,430 --> 00:32:25,530
Wow, it was amazing in that first picture.

341
00:32:26,150 --> 00:32:27,490
There was a house there one time.

342
00:32:31,070 --> 00:32:33,470
Yeah, it just happened it felt like.

343
00:32:33,550 --> 00:32:36,330
Questions for Dr. Libri, anybody?

344
00:32:37,150 --> 00:32:38,070
That's a member greener.

345
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:39,450
Can we go back a couple of pictures of them?

346
00:32:41,070 --> 00:32:43,070
Wait, wait, one more.

347
00:32:43,290 --> 00:32:43,610
Go forward.

348
00:32:44,590 --> 00:32:45,110
Go forward.

349
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:46,770
One is going to look like this.

350
00:32:47,250 --> 00:32:52,430
So the one 36 Avenue should be done, we're all scheduled to have it completed about

351
00:32:52,430 --> 00:32:56,750
the end of the November, early December that that day of the section should be completed.

352
00:32:56,850 --> 00:32:58,330
We're all scheduled to have that completed.

353
00:32:58,770 --> 00:33:01,310
That looks like that with the roundabout.

354
00:33:01,390 --> 00:33:01,830
With what?

355
00:33:02,210 --> 00:33:02,930
With the roundabout?

356
00:33:03,290 --> 00:33:04,070
Yes, with the roundabout.

357
00:33:04,270 --> 00:33:04,450
Yes, sir.

358
00:33:04,450 --> 00:33:15,400
and I'll go to go forward one more this way yeah okay oh this is 144 thank you that's

359
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:22,060
all it's getting confused I was like wait a minute I thought we were going to wait for this

360
00:33:22,060 --> 00:33:28,480
thank you and we'll this be done and that's the challenge I'll right now I plan to have it done by

361
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:35,240
December again we are experiencing some delays with the utility relocation and then mainly

362
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,460
because of the property acquisition and stuff like that.

363
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,380
So we had the power on board ready to go.

364
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:43,660
We still had to finalize the property acquisition

365
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:47,300
for the parks property as well as protracco.

366
00:33:47,820 --> 00:33:49,160
And once we got that completed,

367
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,960
we had to reschedule the relocation.

368
00:33:51,620 --> 00:33:54,560
If you own that South East corner,

369
00:33:54,940 --> 00:33:56,460
there's a lot of United Power Equipment

370
00:33:56,460 --> 00:33:58,000
that needs to be relocated.

371
00:33:58,380 --> 00:33:59,740
We're in a process of working on it.

372
00:33:59,740 --> 00:34:00,900
Get that move out the way.

373
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,340
Once that's moved out, we could put full force to it.

374
00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:08,820
Right now, we've just been, I have a limited resources that they're making some improvements in that area now.

375
00:34:08,820 --> 00:34:10,520
And I have nothing to do with that today.

376
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:18,680
No, it's not a United Pire, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just really the challenge that we have when we're trying to,

377
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,680
uh, uh, get these projects done in a timely manner, especially we got utilities, is that coordination effort.

378
00:34:23,780 --> 00:34:33,320
So we had right away, uh, negotiations that we're doing, we're working with utility companies in their resources, and of course,

379
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:39,160
we often anticipate, but we're moving forward and everybody's working together. That's the great

380
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:45,020
nest of good news. And I want to commend the crews on 136. They're really keeping the traffic flowing

381
00:34:45,020 --> 00:34:49,540
you know back up too much. When you're stopping it, it's for real closures and everything else

382
00:34:49,540 --> 00:34:53,000
they're doing a really good job. And then they're opening it up again at night and in the morning.

383
00:34:53,660 --> 00:34:57,880
So you're still really allowing for traffic to flow there. Right for the little bit of an eruption of

384
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,980
what you're trying to get done here. Yeah, we had a little hiccup.

385
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:08,280
I hope what an early one morning, and our staff and J.R. engineering was on top of it. We learned about it. Got down there and got it corrected. They were responsive.

386
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,040
Thank you.

387
00:35:11,220 --> 00:35:13,080
Did I hear you know your powers delaying the project?

388
00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:15,020
I didn't hear that.

389
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:16,640
It's their contractor.

390
00:35:19,060 --> 00:35:21,220
I'm here for Ward 1.

391
00:35:21,980 --> 00:35:23,900
Council Member Carvehall.

392
00:35:25,220 --> 00:35:27,140
I want to thank you for taking care of that.

393
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,980
So I just have some questions about contracts in general following.

394
00:35:29,980 --> 00:35:36,760
that so if we are in negotiations we create a contract what is our liability in them doing that

395
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:43,420
and do we have rules and regulations around them doing that so what happened is I drove down

396
00:35:43,420 --> 00:35:49,260
stable and there was no flaggers and it was still one direction so cars were self mandating driving

397
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:54,780
on one side trying to figure out when they were going to dance essentially that's why we required

398
00:35:54,780 --> 00:36:00,560
the contractors to pull a bond, but when they take over the roadway for construction, it's all on their liability.

399
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:09,320
So any time a car, you know, any kind of misapp that may occur, we have to, we send them directly to the contractor, they have to resolve it.

400
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,780
It's ultimately their roadway as they are constructing it.

401
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,360
Is their traffic control and that kind of thing.

402
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:15,120
For liability.

403
00:36:15,140 --> 00:36:15,860
Yeah, for liability.

404
00:36:15,860 --> 00:36:18,280
And I feel appreciate you reaching out and making sure people were saying.

405
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:18,560
Yeah.

406
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,500
Now we got word right away, you know, it starts phone calls start coming in and staff was

407
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:25,540
going to top of it and we appreciate that.

408
00:36:25,780 --> 00:36:26,640
Thank you.

409
00:36:28,830 --> 00:36:30,330
So, yeah.

410
00:36:31,310 --> 00:36:32,270
Another questions.

411
00:36:33,410 --> 00:36:34,370
Yeah, more.

412
00:36:34,790 --> 00:36:38,930
Okay, got going to the Brighton.

413
00:36:39,810 --> 00:36:40,670
Oh, yes.

414
00:36:41,850 --> 00:36:42,090
Yeah.

415
00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:44,130
Brighton on the man, local transit.

416
00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:45,290
So here we go.

417
00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:46,390
Top destinations.

418
00:36:46,410 --> 00:36:48,330
I'm going to get, I'm going to go through a couple of slides.

419
00:36:48,330 --> 00:36:54,790
I'm going to ask for you guys the vote on which you guys think is the top destination for the vote.

420
00:36:55,450 --> 00:37:00,490
Only one person got to write a, please chief got to write in our hotel today, so he called it right off.

421
00:37:00,590 --> 00:37:05,270
But anyway, without further ado, right now we're experiencing our right,

422
00:37:05,350 --> 00:37:10,110
August, we experienced our right, largest ridership of a year.

423
00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:17,090
We had 1,750 rides for the month of August, and as you can see, it's been a steady increase

424
00:37:17,090 --> 00:37:21,070
uh... for the most part of the city increase there's always going to be some ups and

425
00:37:21,070 --> 00:37:24,970
downs but uh... we've definitely had uh... this summer has been really positive

426
00:37:24,970 --> 00:37:28,730
and maybe do for some of the for some of the uh...

427
00:37:28,730 --> 00:37:32,790
uh... programs that we implemented for the summer and i could get into that later but again

428
00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:36,110
record high and it continues to grow

429
00:37:36,110 --> 00:37:42,290
um... this is the interesting map uh... that the vehicle provided me is uh...

430
00:37:43,150 --> 00:37:46,750
um... the ridership is primary concentrated in the western in the city

431
00:37:46,750 --> 00:37:50,710
Those several riders use the service to cross the entire service zones.

432
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:56,490
So, the trip represents each line on this map represents an individual rider trip.

433
00:37:57,070 --> 00:38:02,230
The thicker the line represents higher volumes of trip traveling on that specific route.

434
00:38:02,570 --> 00:38:07,970
And again, the highest concentration is clearly visible on the western end of Brighton.

435
00:38:09,650 --> 00:38:15,550
And this is another map kind of showing that the darker red is the higher population density.

436
00:38:16,010 --> 00:38:21,670
and in the darker green, in the case of higher density of car-free households, and you

437
00:38:21,670 --> 00:38:29,390
can see where that larger density is, is where we have most of the, most of the riders.

438
00:38:31,110 --> 00:38:35,410
And then I think the next slide, I'm not sure, but the next slide, we're showing the top location.

439
00:38:35,690 --> 00:38:37,630
Anybody have a guess on what's the time?

440
00:38:37,630 --> 00:38:41,090
Oh, Walmart.

441
00:38:41,650 --> 00:38:42,130
So yeah, close.

442
00:38:42,370 --> 00:38:43,010
King Super the second.

443
00:38:43,430 --> 00:38:46,790
So Walmart was the top destination for our citizens,

444
00:38:47,070 --> 00:38:49,390
King Super, say, if a lot of the grocery stores

445
00:38:49,390 --> 00:38:54,030
and a shopping area, so they'd not buy that out.

446
00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:59,850
And yeah, the next one, even track the origins, the top origins

447
00:38:59,850 --> 00:39:02,250
or where people are calling their rights

448
00:39:02,250 --> 00:39:04,710
and rich squares of big plays, then

449
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:11,790
of course there's shop in areas and and then finally just kind of slums it up. Retail

450
00:39:11,790 --> 00:39:17,610
another commercial. We got 28% of our riders are going there, restaurant and dining, 22%

451
00:39:17,610 --> 00:39:24,050
grocery, 17 government education and research, 16% medical aid and then other aid.

452
00:39:25,850 --> 00:39:32,710
And again, I just put together a note for your information. We have been to least I've been told

453
00:39:32,710 --> 00:39:37,550
that we have been awarded funding from RTD to extend the program to 2029.

454
00:39:39,010 --> 00:39:40,750
So that's a great news.

455
00:39:41,370 --> 00:39:47,070
We also started to implement free rides to and from the Sue Corbett Act of Adult Center.

456
00:39:47,370 --> 00:39:47,850
And that's permanent.

457
00:39:48,090 --> 00:39:51,690
So anybody who's going to go to the Adult Center are coming from the Adult Center

458
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:52,570
is a free ride.

459
00:39:52,610 --> 00:39:56,270
And that's already programmed in India in the app.

460
00:39:56,810 --> 00:39:59,690
And then our summer promotion, which may have helped our ridership.

461
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:20,480
We had offer free rides to it from those following those destinations, as you see, the Brighton Sports Complex, Benedict Park, the Recreation Center, Oasis Family, so a library, so a lot of family oriented areas is where we thought would be beneficial to families through it.

462
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,360
So that's going to end by the end of September.

463
00:40:22,940 --> 00:40:25,720
And so we'll be tracking and to see about the end of September,

464
00:40:25,860 --> 00:40:28,980
if our ridership goes down and kind of see how that impact it,

465
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:29,880
you know, what we're doing.

466
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,460
So this is, I think this is the great benefit of how flexible our program is.

467
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:38,840
You can, you know, we can turn things on and off fairly rapidly.

468
00:40:39,380 --> 00:40:41,020
It depends on what we like to do.

469
00:40:41,420 --> 00:40:42,220
So it's very flexible.

470
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:46,520
And then finally, the riders satisfaction and feedback,

471
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:49,540
we had four point eight out of five stars.

472
00:40:49,540 --> 00:40:54,320
92.3, 5 star rating and I found it interesting.

473
00:40:54,320 --> 00:41:01,580
I had used the boat last week to drop a car off to Leswap and that middle comment from

474
00:41:01,580 --> 00:41:08,620
a customer is exactly how I felt that so much weight is better than waiting for a bus.

475
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,060
The apple super easy to use in advance are spotless.

476
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:13,500
I was in a very clean van.

477
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,740
I couldn't get over how clean it was, it's almost like it was brand new and then I love

478
00:41:17,740 --> 00:41:21,020
seeing exactly where my ride was as I was waiting for it.

479
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:23,480
So that's not my comment, but it's exactly how I felt.

480
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,520
I was confused you.

481
00:41:24,620 --> 00:41:25,540
That was your comment.

482
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,180
No, when I read it with me on the Google Review, I literally just got this report from

483
00:41:31,180 --> 00:41:33,880
view this morning and I thought it was interesting.

484
00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:41,740
But yeah, and then drivers, I like to mention when I had used the state, used it

485
00:41:41,740 --> 00:41:42,380
boat.

486
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,860
One of the drivers had been with the program since December and he's from Brighton, lives

487
00:41:46,860 --> 00:41:52,520
the Brighton and he's really excited was really a pleasure to ride with him and he, like

488
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,820
say, he'd been with Scythdy Simmer and then when I used the boat to, you know, come back

489
00:41:56,820 --> 00:42:01,760
to the office, the other driver was from Brighton three weeks into the program and he's getting

490
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:06,780
extremely excited and it was just nice to see a video was telling me today that they have six,

491
00:42:06,780 --> 00:42:12,780
six drivers for the driver's live and work here in Brighton through the boat. So I thought that was

492
00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:16,260
That's another great benefit, I think we are offering too with this, so yeah.

493
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,800
So that's the update, I'm hoping for any questions.

494
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,260
I love the updates, it's been something I've been wanting to see for a while.

495
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:31,620
I know that the bulk is more door-to-door for people with mobility issues and if you don't

496
00:42:31,620 --> 00:42:36,760
have a mobility issue, sometimes they have you go to a meat point or walk a certain

497
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:42,760
short distance, do we have stats on how many actual have, actually have door-to-door versus

498
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,720
is having a meet at a meet point.

499
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,040
I don't have that information.

500
00:42:47,260 --> 00:42:52,600
I probably can get it, but I think one of the things we did once we were all getting

501
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:59,360
familiar with the app, we identified locations where they should like city hall.

502
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,900
You should come instead of picking us up off fourth or southern, you should come right into

503
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:05,540
the parking lot.

504
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:06,040
It's safer.

505
00:43:06,740 --> 00:43:08,540
So we have identified a lot of locations.

506
00:43:08,540 --> 00:43:10,400
is like, oh, mainly the locations,

507
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:13,340
free locations where they should go into the park

508
00:43:13,340 --> 00:43:14,660
and lock the pickup to people.

509
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,540
And then the other key part of this, what we said,

510
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,540
if, because sometimes it's hard to read the map of exactly

511
00:43:20,540 --> 00:43:24,040
where they pick you up, their drivers will call.

512
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,660
If they don't see a person there where they think they need

513
00:43:26,660 --> 00:43:28,100
to pick, they will call that person and say,

514
00:43:28,260 --> 00:43:29,280
hey, where are you?

515
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,780
And make sure they try to get to them.

516
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,060
So those are some of the things we've done,

517
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:37,760
but I can ask for that data to find out

518
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,640
how many are door to door, but they have improved that service, I think, and making people know

519
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,420
where to go to get picked up or dropped off.

520
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,560
Well, you go back to that slide with the graph of the bar graph.

521
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:53,760
This one?

522
00:43:54,060 --> 00:43:56,560
Or it was at the beginning of the...

523
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:57,140
Okay, this one.

524
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:58,600
Yeah.

525
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,140
I know there was a time that a lot of those events were on recall.

526
00:44:02,140 --> 00:44:10,440
And do you know when we got the actual bands that the intended mobility needed bands back?

527
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:17,180
Is it that when we started seeing the spike in April and onward or good question?

528
00:44:17,540 --> 00:44:24,740
I think it was kind of, so yes, as I understand it was a may time frame when we actually got the

529
00:44:24,740 --> 00:44:30,700
see end of Toyota vans back online. It wasn't still not the vans that we've actually had, but they

530
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:35,420
they were they were like for like, or they still our actual vans are getting repaired, but they

531
00:44:35,420 --> 00:44:39,420
replaced it all like for like fan, which I know was true. Consider the key is sold out. Yeah, yeah,

532
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:45,320
key was in the four runners, they were all offline. So that came along online in May, and which in

533
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:50,380
June was the same time we started offering free promotion. So the kind of figure out was it the

534
00:44:50,380 --> 00:44:53,500
or motion or was the van around no fee being a single question.

535
00:44:53,500 --> 00:44:55,240
I'm just trying to see what led to,

536
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,020
oh, suddenly in April onward,

537
00:44:57,140 --> 00:44:59,960
we're gonna have more rides, this is before, so, okay.

538
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,200
Thank you. We got others. I have questions and or comments. Council member today.

539
00:45:06,060 --> 00:45:14,840
Thank you. And thank you for this information. I've been wondering about this myself. I see the vans out quite a bit. Can you remind me again what days, what their hours are?

540
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:15,600
Oh yes.

541
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:20,280
times and when they when they don't run. Yeah, thank you for that. Because, Axia, right now,

542
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:29,140
is 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. We actually are looking at what's costing us to do that.

543
00:45:29,140 --> 00:45:34,320
And now we work with Vio. We think that we can extend this Friday hours under our same budget

544
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:41,240
for 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. So we're looking at that change relatively quickly. And then we're looking

545
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:49,160
that we're really looking to do at least a Saturday service, but we're not there yet, but

546
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:54,180
that's that would be our next move. I love that, because I feel like, I mean, it's all important

547
00:45:54,180 --> 00:45:59,640
times, right? But I feel like there are some people that could really benefit for the later hours

548
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:05,660
in the weekends, of course. And I get it. We have to get there. I'm thrilled that ridership is up.

549
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,180
I'm going to have to come back to me.

550
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:14,760
Well, I know.

551
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:15,420
I thought it would.

552
00:46:15,660 --> 00:46:16,020
Okay, sorry.

553
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:17,720
So I'm a few weeks ago.

554
00:46:17,860 --> 00:46:19,600
I was a hostel at the ER.

555
00:46:21,220 --> 00:46:23,620
And outside there's a lady.

556
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,500
I don't know if she'd been in the ER.

557
00:46:25,980 --> 00:46:27,480
I don't know if she was waiting for her ride.

558
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,760
But I know the people came and got her.

559
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,660
Grot her back inside.

560
00:46:31,140 --> 00:46:32,500
And I'm just thinking to myself.

561
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,440
This would be a perfect opportunity if it were the right

562
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,260
time and day and all this kind of stuff for, you know, something

563
00:46:39,260 --> 00:46:43,520
in that situation for somebody maybe they had to, you know, go the ER and they don't have

564
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:51,420
a ride or a ride there. I mean, for me, I guess my points better spoken to say, is there

565
00:46:51,420 --> 00:46:56,920
a way I would love to get the flyers something on paper? I know it's advertised. There's

566
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:02,060
no one's out there but, but I would love, I would love to personally take some flyers into

567
00:47:02,060 --> 00:47:07,920
the receptionist people at the ER and go, hey, do you know about this? You know, just

568
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:12,980
them to offer it or at the tire shop or, you know, some of these other places that maybe

569
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:17,760
somehow we could get them to help us get the word. She's willing to advertise where you

570
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:25,420
just get rid of the flyers all the time. Yeah, I agree. We've just talked with the via transportation

571
00:47:25,420 --> 00:47:31,640
folks and staff and that's our next move is really to try to get out the air and get the word out

572
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:37,460
with flyers and you're right because I was a big user with the tire shop. I think that's a great. It was

573
00:47:37,460 --> 00:47:40,940
great. I didn't have to bother anybody from work to say, hey, I'm jumping car, can you come

574
00:47:40,940 --> 00:47:45,580
get me? I was actually doing the other day, but I ended up getting a ride. I was going to do

575
00:47:45,580 --> 00:47:49,820
that. But the tire shop would love to build. I would think businesses would love to be able

576
00:47:49,820 --> 00:47:54,640
to say, hey, you know, about this service. And it would increase, you know, because what I'm looking

577
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:59,440
at is, I want, I want this to keep going. I want us to be able to justify it to keep, to keep, you

578
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:05,280
know, past 20 to nine, right? Well, exactly right. Yeah, you're right. And that's what I think I've

579
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:10,620
step two is to really get that word out and and see and work with our PIO office too as well

580
00:48:10,620 --> 00:48:16,000
just to see what we can do that get that door. You could just make a QR code that you just have

581
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:23,600
scan my square. All right next council member green. Thank you, Mayor.

582
00:48:24,420 --> 00:48:28,700
Doug, you're wrong. I think this is great service. I'm happy we're offering it. How many of those

583
00:48:28,700 --> 00:48:34,820
free rides were in the 1750? I don't know that. They didn't break it out for me.

584
00:48:34,820 --> 00:48:36,540
but I can definitely find out.

585
00:48:37,180 --> 00:48:37,280
Okay.

586
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,580
That's important for us to track this.

587
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,320
And then each trip counts as one ride.

588
00:48:43,500 --> 00:48:44,940
The episode of the right two key supers.

589
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:45,380
Yeah.

590
00:48:45,380 --> 00:48:45,520
Right.

591
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:46,240
That would be two rides.

592
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,460
And then it's $2.

593
00:48:52,100 --> 00:48:52,320
$2.

594
00:48:52,580 --> 00:48:52,720
$2.

595
00:48:52,980 --> 00:48:53,120
$2.

596
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:53,580
$2.

597
00:48:53,580 --> 00:48:53,620
$1.

598
00:48:53,620 --> 00:48:53,940
$1.

599
00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:58,500
$2.

600
00:48:59,460 --> 00:48:59,600
$2.

601
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,200
couldn't do this without the RTD grant right now. Yeah, I'm sure we're about to just stay

602
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:09,620
and know we we definitely depend on RTD grant. Yeah, and then now we had an average we

603
00:49:09,620 --> 00:49:15,040
had to have so many trips per hour per day. Are we meeting that? Yes, we are. Okay,

604
00:49:15,060 --> 00:49:19,880
we are. We have exceeded it. Well, we started exceeding it here this summer. This summer. Yeah.

605
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,180
Okay. Yeah. Very good. Thank you. Again, like I said, it's a great service to

606
00:49:23,180 --> 00:49:27,520
glad we're offering it, but I just want to be clear on the finances here. It's not making

607
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,000
it's actually costing as money, but it's important service.

608
00:49:32,180 --> 00:49:36,260
I don't know a micro-transit program that is making money in the area.

609
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,000
Any of them nationwide, next Council Member Worth.

610
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:43,200
Thank you, Mayor.

611
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,220
Thanks, Greg. This is great information.

612
00:49:45,420 --> 00:49:47,440
Like I said, we've been waiting for this.

613
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,920
I really like to see it.

614
00:49:50,260 --> 00:49:53,520
I need to get that rating up to 100%.

615
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:59,340
I think we'll have any data on what the average wait time is for people.

616
00:50:00,580 --> 00:50:14,340
So the goal and I know they meeting their objective. The way I don't know what the average is, but the goal and what they have done, once you call the ride, they'll pick you up and deliver you within 30 minutes total.

617
00:50:21,540 --> 00:50:25,420
And the numbers are seeing I know we've met that.

618
00:50:25,420 --> 00:50:28,720
Every time I've used it, it's more three to five minutes late at the

619
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:30,480
Mose you get in and they take you.

620
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,120
They actually, when I were picking me up for City Hall, they actually

621
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:38,920
Pick me up went to Walmart to pick up another rider and actually

622
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,580
You know, turn back around dropped her off and then dropped the off and

623
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:45,200
still was within, yeah, it was less than 30 minutes, even doing all that.

624
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:45,640
That's awesome.

625
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:46,340
Awesome.

626
00:50:47,220 --> 00:50:47,740
And how many?

627
00:50:47,940 --> 00:50:52,060
So you say we have six units now, but we have six drivers?

628
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:52,720
Six drivers.

629
00:50:52,980 --> 00:50:53,040
Yes.

630
00:50:54,140 --> 00:50:57,260
And how many of those four units are on the road at one time?

631
00:50:57,900 --> 00:50:58,680
That's a great question.

632
00:50:58,780 --> 00:51:03,800
I don't know all of a four from seven to six to seven, or is it?

633
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:04,360
Yeah.

634
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,580
I think they look at their peak hours and try to put the drivers during the peak hours,

635
00:51:08,580 --> 00:51:12,760
but I do not know exactly how they got it scheduled or run in quite a

636
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:12,960
time.

637
00:51:13,380 --> 00:51:16,520
So we back to all having the Toyota Vans only now.

638
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:18,920
We do have Toyota Vans.

639
00:51:19,100 --> 00:51:22,200
It's not our original Vans, but we do have Toyota Vans just like

640
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:27,920
our just like the ones that we had with branded and all that.

641
00:51:28,660 --> 00:51:28,700
Yeah.

642
00:51:28,940 --> 00:51:33,160
There's no 400 still seeing with the stick on.

643
00:51:36,980 --> 00:51:41,960
Yeah, it's definitely, it's not our permanent vans that we have, but they are, they are

644
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,840
same thing, they're Toyota, CNN events that we have throughout the city.

645
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:51,320
I want to be expecting our real ones, but so I was, it was reported that Toyota has finally

646
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:55,960
picked up and they didn't say all of them, but picked up some of the vans and brought them to their

647
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:00,320
shop, but we're still waiting for Toyota to complete the repair.

648
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:06,120
So I think that some of them would be returned here real soon, but progress has been made for that.

649
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,160
So we cool.

650
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,100
All right, hey, thanks very much, I think this was a winner.

651
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,000
All right, thank you.

652
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:18,080
You said there's an expansion till 10 coming up for sure, or possibly coming up.

653
00:52:18,900 --> 00:52:23,800
So yes, we're looking at a podcast unless something, unless the numbers just don't work out.

654
00:52:23,860 --> 00:52:29,620
But right now, based upon what we're seeing, and what we're planning to do by the Intercept Timber.

655
00:52:29,620 --> 00:52:36,360
we hope to extend the services on Friday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. that is actually the plan

656
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,400
to move forward and we've been discussing it get that done. That way people can go to

657
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:47,860
a night performance as the armory for example is there a desire or not desire but is there

658
00:52:47,860 --> 00:52:54,700
room to do that for special events like we'll have like the you know tree lighting ceremony in December

659
00:52:54,700 --> 00:53:00,780
in the parade and all that stuff, is there any room for expansion, then for special events that are

660
00:53:00,780 --> 00:53:01,700
high traffic events?

661
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:07,160
You know, I can't give you a definite, but it's definitely a discussion, it's the flexibility

662
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:12,760
to have, and I'm sure talking with VIA, and we give them, I think, advanced warning and that kind

663
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:18,460
of thing, I think they can accommodate us. I know their drivers want to work weekend, as one

664
00:53:18,460 --> 00:53:23,000
of their complaints is that we're ready for extended hours so they can get more hours to work.

665
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:28,920
So the drivers are eager, I'm sure via wouldn't, you know, I'm sure via will be willing to do it.

666
00:53:29,020 --> 00:53:32,220
It's just a matter. Can't we handle it in our budget? That's all.

667
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,420
And that's what we have to always balance. There's one more comment that's popped in there.

668
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,940
Yeah, special events would be a good way to screw up the metric.

669
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,780
Yeah, if 500 people who suddenly need a ride home at this point, it's said eight o'clock.

670
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:52,660
I'm Saturday. Thank you very much. This is a great program. I'm so glad to see it up and running and thanks for sharing all the information.

671
00:53:52,660 --> 00:53:53,340
All right.

672
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:53,920
Thank you.

673
00:53:54,060 --> 00:53:59,740
And again, it was for Council and how, you know, the pressure you put on RTD, it helped

674
00:53:59,740 --> 00:54:04,100
very help them in application and getting funding two years ago when we were going through

675
00:54:04,100 --> 00:54:04,680
this process.

676
00:54:05,220 --> 00:54:08,440
So it was definitely a joint effort and we appreciate that.

677
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:09,180
Thank you.

678
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:09,840
All right.

679
00:54:10,220 --> 00:54:11,280
Thank you.

680
00:54:11,860 --> 00:54:12,580
Next director.

681
00:54:14,220 --> 00:54:19,120
Not to be done by Director of the Bre, our police chief has a video that he would like

682
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:19,900
to show you.

683
00:54:20,780 --> 00:54:25,900
Yeah, come on, you should follow that on a video tonight, he actually has a pretty quick update for you.

684
00:54:33,130 --> 00:54:37,230
Yes, yes, I'm quite good at dancing, so you'll all be very impressed.

685
00:54:38,490 --> 00:54:40,670
Good evening Mayor Mayor Portem, members of Council.

686
00:54:41,150 --> 00:54:51,050
Thank you for the opportunity to provide you all with a brief update about our local and corresponding regional efforts on the front range wildfire initiated community

687
00:54:51,050 --> 00:54:54,690
the Conflagration Initiative, aka WIC.

688
00:54:56,230 --> 00:54:57,830
What is the front-range WIC initiative?

689
00:54:58,250 --> 00:54:59,970
It's a regional effort to assess community content.

690
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:07,260
Complications caused by grassland, wildfires along the front range. Specifically, how to communities prepare for fast-moving

691
00:55:07,260 --> 00:55:13,040
fires that outpace current systems, leading to cascading failures, in detections, alerting, and evacuation.

692
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:19,580
This initiative has identified the need for agencies across law enforcement, fire, emergency management, and

693
00:55:19,580 --> 00:55:26,300
dispatch centers to establish a shared doctrine, terminology, and regional operating picture for high-tempo, multi-ger

694
00:55:26,300 --> 00:55:33,080
sectional events. You may have already seen some communities put out some press information about

695
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:39,500
evacuations. We have been active in that event the entire time, but you'll see in the next couple

696
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:44,520
of weeks, a press release from the Front Range Week initiative going out to alert the public to the

697
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:49,260
work that this group has been doing. Our Office of Emergency Management and Coordination with Brighton

698
00:55:49,260 --> 00:55:53,640
Fire have been actively engaged with this regional initiative and have been working diligently

699
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:57,000
to prepare our community to prevent and respond to one of these events.

700
00:55:58,220 --> 00:56:01,780
More specifically, some of the things that we've done, we've adopted the common regional

701
00:56:01,780 --> 00:56:07,580
alerting language and protocols related to evacuations, including evacuation warnings,

702
00:56:07,820 --> 00:56:10,500
which is basically telling residents to prepare to evacuate.

703
00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:14,860
If it's residents that might need more time, they might consider evacuating now.

704
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:21,940
Vacuation orders, which means go now, shelter in place, which is stay inside, take protective action.

705
00:56:21,940 --> 00:56:29,080
We have also adopted the use of the high-low siren tone to be used only in the event of an evacuation,

706
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,500
high-low time to go, a little slogan to remember.

707
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:37,100
This is going to be used on patrol cars and other emergency vehicles in conjunction with

708
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:38,100
dordid or notifications.

709
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:43,140
These will always be accompanied by verbal instructions in Spanish and English.

710
00:56:44,580 --> 00:56:49,520
Also in conjunction with Brighton Fire District, we have established all hazard evacuation polygons

711
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,060
across the city and fire district.

712
00:56:51,060 --> 00:56:57,120
That consists of about 116 different polygons across the fire district, which incorporates a city.

713
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,800
These have been loaded into emergency notification systems to allow for quick alerting.

714
00:57:02,460 --> 00:57:07,020
This can be used for all hazard evacuations. This is not specific to just wildfires.

715
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:12,820
And we are working on a public interface map that is in progress right now, and we'll be rolled out soon.

716
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:19,320
So why am I here in front of you tonight? You will be seeing information going out hopefully on September 8 from the front range,

717
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,320
and I wanted to make sure you all knew that we were actively working on that as well.

718
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,780
Subsequent to that short video that press release going out.

719
00:57:29,260 --> 00:57:33,400
Your local trusted emergency officials, i.e. me and Chief Garrison,

720
00:57:33,500 --> 00:57:37,570
will be explaining these changes in a video that we're working on.

721
00:57:38,300 --> 00:57:42,860
And there will be publishing additional resources for evacuation and fire mitigation along with preparedness

722
00:57:42,860 --> 00:57:46,120
on the cities and the bright and fire districts websites.

723
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:51,800
So, again, this is an initiative you may have heard about as other jurisdictions have rolled it out.

724
00:57:52,420 --> 00:57:56,280
The evacuation stuff specifically has been in use in California for a long time.

725
00:57:57,100 --> 00:58:01,920
The high-low-siren stuff, it took us a little bit of work to get our fleet changed around

726
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,700
and the sirens all reprogrammed, but we're in good shape now and we're ready to roll this out.

727
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,320
But that I'm happy to answer any questions you all may have.

728
00:58:09,620 --> 00:58:11,400
I doubt there'll be as many as there were for bolt.

729
00:58:12,740 --> 00:58:15,360
Any questions for police chief?

730
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,600
I'm ready sir.

731
00:58:19,580 --> 00:58:19,700
Perfect.

732
00:58:19,820 --> 00:58:21,080
Looks like I did my job.

733
00:58:21,540 --> 00:58:22,000
Thank you!

734
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:23,400
Alright thank you chief.

735
00:58:24,220 --> 00:58:25,380
Any other director reports?

736
00:58:26,180 --> 00:58:26,640
No sir.

737
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:28,220
Report.

738
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:36,460
The board and commission vacancy update.

739
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,300
Let me pull up the

740
00:58:39,300 --> 00:58:41,220
is magnificent, important commission update.

741
00:58:43,580 --> 00:58:46,160
Just literally exit it off and it's

742
00:58:52,690 --> 00:58:53,150
true.

743
00:58:55,850 --> 00:58:56,390
I actually

744
00:58:56,390 --> 00:58:59,230
had it pulled up and then I just exit it off and so my apologies.

745
00:59:00,290 --> 00:59:07,310
It was expecting cheats report to be longer so we didn't have it ready. I was mesmerized by the

746
00:59:07,310 --> 00:59:08,230
definition of WIC.

747
00:59:11,370 --> 00:59:14,430
So we

748
00:59:17,630 --> 00:59:22,630
still have three members of the Brighton Urban Normal Authority open and

749
00:59:22,630 --> 00:59:27,910
available. We have three members and one alternate member of the Historic Preservation Commission.

750
00:59:29,050 --> 00:59:37,450
We have two members and two alternate members. That's not right. We have two members, and I believe one alternate member, the Brighton Housing Authority.

751
00:59:38,590 --> 00:59:48,370
We have one district plan commission member and we are yet to find our two youth members for the sustainability advisory board, but I know that there is some promise there as well.

752
00:59:48,370 --> 00:59:56,910
And that's it, the list continues to, it's smaller, which is awesome, but we still have positions available on some of our very important boards.

753
00:59:57,150 --> 00:59:59,970
So if you know anybody who is interested, or you, if you,

754
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,800
Yourself, or interested in joining one of our boards? Please visit our website. As far as updates, my guess for

755
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:15,140
where the bolt, where the most frequent was Jordanellies, but I was wrong, based on my own experience.

756
01:00:15,260 --> 01:00:20,460
Wait, tell us open Friday night. Yeah, exactly. That'll be a separate metric for the night.

757
01:00:21,140 --> 01:00:27,740
Right. You see, exactly. I just wanted to give a quick update on a very cool event that happened this weekend.

758
01:00:27,740 --> 01:00:32,840
And as many of you know, Christian Flores, who was one of our employees who lost his life

759
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:39,320
earlier this year, we had a little employee car show this weekend where some of our employees

760
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,040
came out to the MSC and brought their cars.

761
01:00:42,340 --> 01:00:43,860
The Flores family was there.

762
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,740
Gary Montoya actually cooked food for the entirety of the group.

763
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,460
I can't remember how many hamburgers that he cooked, hamburgers hot dogs.

764
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,740
But it was a very awesome event, a very cool way to remember Christian.

765
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,140
He was a avid car enthusiast.

766
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,420
Some of his friends showed up with some amazing cars.

767
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,020
I did promise our Police Department of Lamborghini this year, so we'll have a revised

768
01:01:07,020 --> 01:01:07,940
budget for you.

769
01:01:08,060 --> 01:01:08,580
You'll see that.

770
01:01:08,620 --> 01:01:12,700
They're not getting any increases, but that would be a fun exam for some day.

771
01:01:13,100 --> 01:01:13,540
Potentially.

772
01:01:14,780 --> 01:01:18,020
Chief has volunteered to drive it to and from work too, so you'll have that.

773
01:01:18,020 --> 01:01:21,360
But no, I just wanted to recognize the employees

774
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:22,520
who did it behind the scenes,

775
01:01:22,580 --> 01:01:23,440
did it on their own time.

776
01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:26,280
It was actually very amazing to see everybody come together

777
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,380
for a very awesome event,

778
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:30,880
and an excellent way to remember a Christian.

779
01:01:31,380 --> 01:01:32,540
That's all I have, thank you.

780
01:01:34,820 --> 01:01:35,860
Very good, thank you.

781
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,820
All right, next reports by City Council,

782
01:01:40,020 --> 01:01:41,900
we'll start with the Council Member Collins.

783
01:01:43,860 --> 01:01:44,700
Nothing for me tonight.

784
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,480
Okay, Council Member Snyder.

785
01:01:48,820 --> 01:01:56,980
The other thing I'd like to mention is the Bridge Street and 85 project has begun, and

786
01:01:56,980 --> 01:02:02,320
you can see the wall going up, and I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.

787
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:08,340
It's really exciting, and I think they hope to be done by December, going to the top.

788
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:14,980
So, except for, because of budget restraints, they're going to get the main landscaping

789
01:02:14,980 --> 01:02:22,380
and I think they're going to have to push the actual finish landscaping to 27's budget in the

790
01:02:22,380 --> 01:02:22,720
spring.

791
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,840
So some of that's dependent on C dot 2, by the way.

792
01:02:30,370 --> 01:02:32,250
Probably be done if there wasn't a C dot.

793
01:02:33,570 --> 01:02:34,530
That's another battle.

794
01:02:35,090 --> 01:02:35,990
Councilmember Fiddler.

795
01:02:37,410 --> 01:02:37,530
Thank you.

796
01:02:37,650 --> 01:02:38,630
We are nothing to report.

797
01:02:38,890 --> 01:02:44,390
Then to thank Mayor Pro Tempidia and I believe Councilmember Carval, no, just Mayor Pro Tempidia

798
01:02:44,390 --> 01:02:49,050
for being in the lock booths of reward while I was absent from that, I mean, so they

799
01:02:49,050 --> 01:02:51,310
could be different on it. So you went, can't wait to hear the update.

800
01:02:52,710 --> 01:02:53,770
With that, Mayor Poodell.

801
01:02:55,270 --> 01:03:00,290
Well, it was entertaining. We didn't have any actions to take, but the consulting firm

802
01:03:00,290 --> 01:03:08,530
came back to the lock booths to reward with updates to the rate study with no more basis

803
01:03:08,530 --> 01:03:11,250
in reality than the prior rate studies.

804
01:03:12,590 --> 01:03:15,530
So still three variables, what's the growth rate,

805
01:03:15,550 --> 01:03:18,150
what's the consumption rate, and what's the cost

806
01:03:18,150 --> 01:03:25,630
for foot or per gallon for the updated wastewater treatment

807
01:03:25,630 --> 01:03:29,510
center, and the rate study didn't take into account

808
01:03:29,510 --> 01:03:32,370
in any way, shape or form, variances to that,

809
01:03:32,570 --> 01:03:34,970
or variances in the city's participation.

810
01:03:34,970 --> 01:03:38,170
So really it was a useless update,

811
01:03:40,410 --> 01:03:43,930
but I enjoyed sitting through it on behalf of both of you, so it was fine.

812
01:03:44,730 --> 01:03:46,210
We didn't have to take any action.

813
01:03:48,750 --> 01:03:50,170
Just another pause button.

814
01:03:50,970 --> 01:03:56,210
But the good thing I think out of that is that the Lockwood City Council members,

815
01:03:56,590 --> 01:04:04,030
thanked me for asking the questions that they also had been wondering about where are these numbers coming from.

816
01:04:04,030 --> 01:04:09,750
So I can't blame the company that is plugging the variables into a fully functional formula,

817
01:04:09,750 --> 01:04:17,380
just the one that gave them the weird numbers to begin with. Okay, so that was last week,

818
01:04:18,670 --> 01:04:25,590
coming up this week is the housing authority, but more interesting in the near future is the

819
01:04:25,590 --> 01:04:34,010
weekend of September 11th and 12th is going to be all kinds of exciting. So I'll see how many of

820
01:04:34,010 --> 01:04:41,730
But the Firehouse Memorial and Ceremony for 9-11 is the morning of Friday, September 11th.

821
01:04:41,730 --> 01:04:45,750
That evening is almost home's concert for a cause out here at Carmichael Park,

822
01:04:46,450 --> 01:04:52,590
fantastic fundraiser and a great band, the cover-alls who cover all of the music from the 60s through

823
01:04:53,410 --> 01:04:59,970
2000s. It should be a really, really fun event. The morning of the 12th is the

824
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:11,000
13th annual card show at the Sue Corbett Active Adult Center at Eagle View, and I haven't figured out how that became the Suevac, but somebody had an acronym earlier today that I cannot make sense of.

825
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:19,180
That's in the morning, and then beginning at 10 is Art and the Park at Carmichael Park, which is always a fun event.

826
01:05:19,980 --> 01:05:25,500
And then Sunday, the 13th at Riverdale Regional Park is Festival Latino.

827
01:05:25,500 --> 01:05:33,700
So great, great weekend next weekend and then just because I think it's still on his list

828
01:05:33,700 --> 01:05:41,540
the following weekend is trash fast and the eco event for E-Waste and document

829
01:05:41,540 --> 01:05:46,520
shredding is the 18th and the 19th. That's what I've got for tonight. Thank you.

830
01:05:46,660 --> 01:05:55,480
Very good. You guys can repeat this. I mean the more you say the more people will go

831
01:05:55,480 --> 01:06:06,820
this trash bash and the shred of it. I'm looking forward to tomorrow for the first

832
01:06:06,820 --> 01:06:13,010
run. I really sort of real DDA meeting tomorrow afternoon and that's all we have.

833
01:06:14,220 --> 01:06:16,340
Is that it? There's anything else you want to talk about?

834
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:24,480
It's a member green. I found some things. You forgot the bird fest. Did barleg state park

835
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:30,880
Saturday the 12 which is just you know flying fun feather full of excitement there and you know

836
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,700
This past week I had the pleasure of going to the army. I mean they had the disco

837
01:06:34,700 --> 01:06:36,800
What Friday night and they had the

838
01:06:37,380 --> 01:06:41,420
Tom Petty Stevie Nicks trivia band and Saturday night and I don't even know how that place days

839
01:06:41,420 --> 01:06:45,980
Oh, but because those people blew the roof off that place. I mean the doors are around

840
01:06:45,980 --> 01:06:48,440
I mean that place was just broken and

841
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,800
I don't even know how we keep it open because that is just incredible credible show

842
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:59,160
they put on. And Friday, September 18th, the ultimate Elvis experience will be at the

843
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:05,140
armory, Victor Trevino. I'm telling you, that guy's a hunger burden. That is the best

844
01:07:05,140 --> 01:07:10,960
thing I've ever seen. And I got to really give Kudos to Gary Montay and all the armor staff.

845
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:16,580
They put on a heck of a show there. We can wake out. They do. They're there all the time.

846
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:21,200
And he was there cooking food during the day. Boom at that show that night. So I really

847
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:26,820
priest there's now yeah don't be afraid to go to that nine eleven ceremonial and pancake breakfast

848

849
01:07:31,580 --> 01:07:37,440

852
01:07:51,930 --> 01:07:56,310
Next, Councilmember Worth, follow that one. Thank you, Mayor. You know how to

853
01:07:56,310 --> 01:07:59,670
curb to me when you're talking about the birds. Can you imagine that birds also

854
01:07:59,670 --> 01:08:01,550
found feathers ticklish?

855
01:08:04,270 --> 01:08:10,890
So I got to join the mayor and first lady at the Dr.

856
01:08:10,910 --> 01:08:15,890
Kaga Awards program. That was a great event. And then also made it over to the

857
01:08:15,890 --> 01:08:20,250
getting next experience and what a talented band they are just really good entertain with

858
01:08:20,250 --> 01:08:28,130

859
01:08:28,130 --> 01:08:34,410
Carbohall. Yeah, I again want to thank Peter for covering that meeting in Lachbuy. The two things

860
01:08:34,410 --> 01:08:39,170
that I have coming tomorrow is going to be Parks and Rec meeting and so looking forward to getting

861
01:08:39,170 --> 01:08:44,990
some updates there. And then yesterday was the 27 J internships and I just want to give Kudos to

862
01:08:44,990 --> 01:08:49,810
city right in your staff specifically. The number of, I was there on my own business account

863
01:08:49,810 --> 01:08:53,430
taking in turns, but the number of departments represented by the city of Brighton taking

864
01:08:53,430 --> 01:08:58,970
in internships was pretty incredible. I think maybe the most of all the cities. So pretty

865
01:08:58,970 --> 01:09:03,770
cool to see that partnership and to give those kids an opportunity to come work in our municipality.

866
01:09:04,630 --> 01:09:09,450
And I think that is all I have for reports. Thank you. Thank you. I know this is not breaking

867
01:09:09,450 --> 01:09:14,030
any records of getting out early, but this is probably the first time we've had like reports

868
01:09:14,030 --> 01:09:18,930
go longer than the real meat of the meeting so I agree and for the record

869
01:09:18,930 --> 01:09:25,730
Sioux Vax sounds better than Skack so we're gonna leave it there. Oh my gosh

870
01:09:26,070 --> 01:09:31,930
All right accuracy with that we come back study session upstairs next week we are adjourned
