00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,680

texts I would like to thank all the

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,040
people who reached out and all those in

55
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,480
attendance

56
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,360
tonight the other thing I wanted to

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,920
mention there was a headline today in

58
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,200
today's Silver City Daily Press was

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,519
police over oversight on the Silver City

60
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:04,640
agenda this is wrong tonight the the

61
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:07,239
council is looking at an Advisory Board

62
00:03:07,239 --> 00:03:08,959
oversight indicates that the board will

63
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:11,680
be involved in day-to-day operations and

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,840
according to the ordinance if a board

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,040
member were to be involved into

66
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,200
day-to-day operations they would be

67
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,680
removed from the

68
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,509
board so the correct term is

69
00:03:24,519 --> 00:03:27,560
advisory thank you Council

70
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,200
Prince thank you mayor Ladner and we you

71
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,920
the whole Council and town happy New

72
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,959
Year tonight I must first thank our

73
00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:36,239
public for so much Outreach entering

74
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:38,120
into my now fourth year as an elected

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,159
official this continues important growth

76
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,720
I've seen each and every year democracy

77
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,480
is fraught with conflict but so can be

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,760
said of life I do truly believe that

79
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,360
regular engagement in our public

80
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,159
institutions especially the ones that

81
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:51,920
enshrine and protect our individual and

82
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,760
public rights is how we will make it

83
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,400
through these next years with the least

84
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,519
suffering towards that end I would like

85
00:03:57,519 --> 00:03:58,920
to use these comments to boost the

86
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,400
efforts of our public departments

87
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,959
concerning wildfires not only is the

88
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:04,720
collective horror of witnessing the LA

89
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,400
county fires on the lips of everyone

90
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,640
I've talked to but the December 18th New

91
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,560
York Times piece ensures our dropping

92
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920
homeowners as climate shocks worsen has

93
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,680
featured many distressing parallels in

94
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,120
our own Community a not insignificant

95
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,880
part of my work as an elected official

96
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,600
has been to help the public Navigator

97
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,759
hierarchies and bureaucracies to

98
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:24,280
accomplish more than what they can on

99
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,400
their own marshalling that power is

100
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,240
incredibly tricky and quite frankly

101
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,520
traumatic from our own city government

102
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,240
having to negotiate the dollar value of

103
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,919
human life to documenting whole

104
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:36,280
watersheds turned black with tar so we

105
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,000
can get corporate and federal assistance

106
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,199
to remediate and pull our people some of

107
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:41,960
whom were pregnant out of a toxic

108
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,680
situation will stay with me for the rest

109
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,639
of my life in the spring of 20123 upon

110
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:48,000
receiving a multitude of calls from

111
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,320
Neighbors and agency contacts I was able

112
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,160
to make it up PA Road and assist with

113
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,440
the Ben Lily evacuation for the RICO

114
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,520
fire I can still remember the feeling of

115
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,320
water spray from the bucket helicopter

116
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,320
doing last checks before caravaning

117
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,400
behind the power stroke cattle hauler I

118
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,840
could convince State Police to get

119
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,440
through our cordons it's great to share

120
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,840
stories especially during these

121
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,440
legislative sessions and meet the

122
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,000
lobbyists and representatives that

123
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,600
fought for improvements at the County

124
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,639
Airport that enabled the US Forest

125
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:17,240
surface ammonium phosphate air tanker

126
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880
drops that saved penos alos to cycle so

127
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,039
rapidly it was great to be able to help

128
00:05:22,039 --> 00:05:23,840
because Robert esca was already at the

129
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:25,560
volunteer fire department ensuring our

130
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,280
City's pumps were keeping their tanks

131
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:29,360
stock with water it was great to be able

132
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,360
to help because our own fire chief Milo

133
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,759
Lambo was already up on Bear Creek Road

134
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:35,840
saving homes and lives with a coalition

135
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,280
of teams that make up our public fire

136
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:40,840
safety I say this because at every turn

137
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,479
I've been so impressed by the welcome

138
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:44,280
reception given by our multi-layered

139
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:47,120
emergency response teams resources and

140
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,520
officials from federal state county

141
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,600
municipal offices and Naval Community

142
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,360
efforts and have all played critical

143
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,199
roles when emergencies push our daily

144
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:57,840
routines to the side for individuals in

145
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,319
tonight's audience I would encourage

146
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:02,639
first first reviewing Wildfire risk. org

147
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:05,160
and assess your home and Business reach

148
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,599
out to your neighbors to do the same we

149
00:06:07,599 --> 00:06:09,759
have prevention resources at every level

150
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:11,160
of government and while much has been

151
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,479
dedicated to the efforts of evacuation

152
00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:15,120
you know your home better than anyone

153
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,639
else and a major personal local and

154
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:19,639
daily effort will be required to improve

155
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:22,479
odds and reduce ignitions secondly

156
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:24,960
training. fema.gov

157
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,479
Nims for National Incident Management

158
00:06:27,479 --> 00:06:29,599
System and incident command system

159
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:32,080
materials exists learn effective

160
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,560
communication strategies my last meeting

161
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,240
with our County Emergency manager

162
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,039
hammered home how much support we have

163
00:06:38,039 --> 00:06:40,520
to handle complex Regional incidents and

164
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,720
the presentation at this year's

165
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,680
Municipal leag conference by RI Doo's

166
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,800
mayor Lynn Crawford demonstrated how

167
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,800
critical that support is to saving lives

168
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,800
and communities IC training is essential

169
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,960
and if neighborhood groups are

170
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,120
interested in going through full

171
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,000
certification I have commitments from

172
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,840
local officials in the amateur radio

173
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,319
Society to Proctor exams the difference

174
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:01,280
between being a Helper and needing help

175
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,599
is training and preparation I ask our

176
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:05,440
public to carve out time to do so and

177
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,759
connect neighbors and local officials

178
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:09,400
while I remain confident in the outside

179
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,160
teams and resources we presently rely on

180
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,919
we may be called upon to step up more

181
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:15,599
than we're used to for all the

182
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:17,000
challenges I've been able to heed the

183
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,360
call on I have more friends and Trust

184
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,280
because of it especially for those

185
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,080
who've moved here showing up for those

186
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,080
in need really helps to build the trust

187
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,680
and peace that our community is known

188
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,879
for I will Echo gratitude for the

189
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:30,479

the warming Center became a reality the

276
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,000
center was the idea of the housing

277
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,639
Behavioral Health task force but would

278
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:52,000

um as word makes it through town the

303
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:44,320
amount of people coming to seek shelter

304
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,200
is growing and is because these ladies

305
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,800

306
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,480
people feel welcome safe and cared for

307
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,120
the warming Center is just that a place

308
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,079
for people to come and be warm it's not

309
00:11:55,079 --> 00:11:57,399
um to be an overnight shelter or a place

310
00:11:57,399 --> 00:11:59,360
for people to live temporarily but

311
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,200
rather a place to come have a hot meal

312
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,360
and be be away from the elments for a

313
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,639
short amount of time I'm very proud of

314
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:06,880
the community for the way they have

315
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,760
responded so far thank you um for the

316
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,560
past year Mr Reynolds has been working

317
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,240
really hard on a code of conduct for the

318
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,040
council and mayor and I believe it

319
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,839
remains necessary and I would like to

320
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:19,199
propose that we have a special work

321
00:12:19,199 --> 00:12:21,560
session um potentially one hour before

322
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:23,079
our second meeting in February to

323
00:12:23,079 --> 00:12:26,160
discuss the proposed codes um that we so

324
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,279
that we can consider passing it and

325
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:29,399
implementing it as soon as possible Mr

326
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:31,480
CS returns he I'll make the formal

327
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,240
request for that to occur so expect for

328
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,600
him to be reaching out to you to for

329
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,480
scheduling um last I normally try not to

330
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,120
Give opinions on things that seem

331
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,639
unrelated to town business but I do

332
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:44,000
believe all the turmoil at Western New

333
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,600
Mexico University does affect the town

334
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,399
also several members of the faculty and

335
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:49,720
staff have requested that I make a

336
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,320
personal statement so I'm going to do so

337
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,800
for those that may not have known me my

338
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,519

00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240
helping a connection helping Foster a

355
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,480
connection between the community in the

00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:09,920
the Alum on the Alumni Association Board

374
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,279
of Directors for 12 years including two

375
00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:14,920
terms as president I was also one of the

376
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,440
organizers who helped establish the

377
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,399
University's abme Union and can

378
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:19,920
literally say that my Blood Sweat and

379
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,120
Tears have gone into making sure that University is successful and that

380
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,079
being an alumni is something that I am

381
00:14:26,079 --> 00:14:29,360
proud of because of my parents employee

382
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,600
at Western I have seen firsthand both

383
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,399
the good and bad times at the University

384
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:35,639
over the course of my lifetime I also

385
00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:37,519
distinctly remember my family living

386
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:39,639
paycheck to paycheck and sometimes even

387
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:42,079
less than that as employees of the

388
00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:45,519
University my mother retired after 25

389
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:48,079
years of faithful Service as a full

390
00:14:48,079 --> 00:14:50,639
tenur Professor teaching at least six

391
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:53,320
face-to-face classes a semester making

392
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,279
nowhere near even a third of the

393
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:57,759
$200,000 a year being offered to the

394
00:14:57,759 --> 00:15:00,160
former president to teach two classes

395
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,800
online without having to set foot on

396
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,519
campus this decision by the board former

397
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:07,800
Board of regions to offer him not only

398
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,880
that but a $1.9 million golden parachute

399
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,040
is a slap in the face to all members of

400
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,440
faculty and staff of the University past

401
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,720
and present as well as to the

402
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,399
community several of them have expressed

403
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:23,199
grief over the total loss of morale and

404
00:15:23,199 --> 00:15:24,600
because they know that they are not

405
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,680
valued by the system that they have

406
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,199
given much of their lives to will be

407
00:15:29,199 --> 00:15:30,759
incredibly hard for the University to

408
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:33,680
bounce back from that this turmoil I am

409
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,279
thankful that sen Senator gorea Hemphill

410
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:38,519
and her husband started the ball rolling

411
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:40,480
by asking questions I know that they

412
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,000
have had a terrible time during this

413
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
process because people can be extremely

414
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,680
cruel

415
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,710
to to the squeaky

416
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,079
will

417
00:15:54,079 --> 00:15:57,279
but what they did was necessary every

418
00:15:57,279 --> 00:15:59,000
public entity is required to follow

419
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,880
policies for good

420
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,440
reason and if they don't it is in the

421
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,160
Public's best interest for someone to

422
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,839
ask questions and for that to be exposed

423
00:16:07,839 --> 00:16:09,720
in this case it also reminded other

424
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,040
entities about the need for transparency

425
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,120
and the to ensure the checks and

426
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,279
balances are always in place while it

427
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:18,519
would be up to attorney general R GES to

428
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:20,680
attempt to sort out the mess and

429
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,240
hopefully try to rectify the situation I

430
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,639
have many concerns about the Ripple

431
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:26,759
effects this will have on our community

432
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:29,279
wmu's reputation

433
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:31,079
has been destroyed in Santa Fe that

434
00:16:31,079 --> 00:16:32,399
won't just have an effect on their

435
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:34,040
capital outlay and other requests but

436
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,839
potentially on all the other requests

437
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:37,519
coming out of Grant County our

438
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:39,560
legislators will be will remember that

439
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,399
Western is located here and wonder if

440
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:43,079
the other entities are running as are

441
00:16:43,079 --> 00:16:45,319
run as poorly when each of us is in

442
00:16:45,319 --> 00:16:46,800
Santa Fe this session we are going to

443
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,319
have to be on the defensive doing damage

444
00:16:49,319 --> 00:16:51,639
control I am also concerned about what

445
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:53,399
the situation has taught us all about

446
00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:55,279
oversight while there are a few key

447
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:56,720
differences between a board of regions

448
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,440
and a Town Council I think that there

449
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,319
are also so we have similarities that we

450
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:02,519
need to be aware and use them as our

451
00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:04,919
cautionary tale as the town reaches AC

452
00:17:04,919 --> 00:17:06,559
Crossroads in many ways over the next

453
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,679
couple of years I think it's imperative

454
00:17:08,679 --> 00:17:10,319
that we start to put more safeguards

455
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,160
into place to ensure that Silver City

456
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,880
continues to be the strong resilient

457
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,400
community that we all love and care

458
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,760
about thank

459
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,919
you thank

460
00:17:18,919 --> 00:17:22,039
you in the interest of time I will save

461
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:24,919
my comments for later I'd also like to

462
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:28,039
remind community members that Council

463
00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:30,880
comments only represent their personal

464
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,600

00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,280

and I'm speaking for several boards I am

493
00:19:02,679 --> 00:19:04,440
the member of three different boards in

494
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,919
town two of them are extremely anxious

495
00:19:07,919 --> 00:19:10,720
extremely nervous and extremely fearful

496
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,200
about what is coming uh P flag and

497
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,880
lgbtq many of our citizens have been

498
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,799
poorly treated by the police in the past

499
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:21,679
they have been harassed they've been

500
00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:24,039
discriminated against they have been

501
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:27,400
disrespected and they are fearful and

502
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,400
they would be very very happy to be able

503
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,080
to have someone to come to someone to

504
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,840
talk to to help them resolve issues they

505
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,640
are afraid to come to the police

506
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,320
themselves because they don't really

507
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,600
know the police department I want to

508
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,000
make a comment on that the sheriff's

509
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,720
department has gone out of their way to

510
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,280
reach out to the gay community they have

511
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,520
attended multiple meetings they have

512
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,559
done everything they can to let us know

513
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,039
who they are to let us know that they

514
00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:00,280
want to treat everyone the same the

515
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,200
police department here in Silver City

516
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,039
has not reached out to us at all I also

517
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:09,280
would like to say that he may have

518
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,679
improved things greatly I don't know

519
00:20:11,679 --> 00:20:14,320
because I have never really met him uh

520
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,159
things may be different but there are

521
00:20:16,159 --> 00:20:18,640
still some of the same police officers

522
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,960
who were causing the problems before who

523
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,400
are still here and if you talk about an

524
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,000
open door policy that you can come you

525
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,240
can talk to me well how many of you have

526
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,320
ever had a job with a boss how well does

527
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,440
it work when you go into the boss and

528
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,480
you tell them you're not happy with what

529
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,360
they're doing you don't like the way

530
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:41,799
they did it it usually doesn't work well

531
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:44,280
people are afraid to come to the police

532
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,320
department because not only does he have

533
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,600
a gun he has officers who can write

534
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,280
tickets and harass you which are things

535
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,360
I have heard has happened in the past

536
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:56,320
there is almost no one in the gay

537
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,480
community I have spoken to who has any

538
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,120
faith whatsoever in the police

539
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:07,159
department and I for one think that this

540
00:21:07,159 --> 00:21:09,919
Council this group of citizens who wants

541
00:21:09,919 --> 00:21:12,320
to work with the police who wants to

542
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,679
help the police who wants to help the

543
00:21:14,679 --> 00:21:17,360
citizens communicate with the police and

544
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:19,360
help the police to communicate back to

545
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,200
the citizens would be a wonderful first

546
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,000
step in regaining that trust and I for

547
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,600
one would like to reach out to the

548
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,640
Police Department and ask them to reach

549
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,320
back out to us to come to our meetings

550
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,960
to ask to get in touch to allow us to

551
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,840
get to know you as the sheriff has done

552
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,640
because I believe that would go a long

553
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:49,919
way towards restoring things thank you next on the list is Patricia

554
00:21:49,919 --> 00:21:59,630
cono

555
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,279
Mr Mayor members of the

556
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:04,919

for safety and Community which has

621

proposed the ordinance for a Citizens

622
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,760
Advisory board that is before you

623
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,200
tonight one of the functions of this

624
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,919
board would be to um hear complaints

625
00:25:20,919 --> 00:25:23,640
from citizens who for whatever reason

626
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,360
are reluctant to go to the police

627
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:27,799
directly and then pass these complaints

628
00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:30,159
onto the the chief of police to handle

629
00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:31,679
according to

630
00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:34,520
protocol nowhere in this ordinance does

631
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,960
it give the proposed board any power to

632
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,279
make decisions on complaints to

633
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:41,960
influence disciplinary action or to

634
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,679
review or oversee any aspect of law

635
00:25:45,679 --> 00:25:47,960
enforcement the board would be composed

636
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,880
of members of the community from the

637
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,559
areas of Mental Health Care Social Work

638
00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:56,240
public education and formerly of law

639
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,520
enforcement these board members would be

640
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,799
appointed by the Town Council and mayor

641
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:03,520
members of the board would lose their

642
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,640
position were they to interfere in the

643
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,600
day-to-day duties of Law Enforcement

644
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,799
Officers or to communicate any

645
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:11,440
information learned through their

646
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,760
position on the board that is not part

647
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,080
of public record the board would

648
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,679
discreetly receive and convey issues or

649
00:26:18,679 --> 00:26:21,279
complaints to the chief of police who

650
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:23,880
would handle them according to

651
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,320
protocol the board's role would be

652
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,279
largely to Bear witness and doent the

653
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:32,520
process more often most often a third

654
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,919
party witness isn't needed but when

655
00:26:34,919 --> 00:26:36,640
citizens feel that their rights have

656
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,799
been violated or their needs ignored it

657
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:42,559
protects them it protects the police and

658
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:45,240
the city to have a third party able to

659
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,840
assure that the complainants rights were

660
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,200
respected and that the issue was given

661
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,279
Fair

662
00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:53,679
consideration at no point would the

663
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:55,760
board be involved in settling the

664
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,360
complaint itself this is the job of of

665
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:01,039
the chief of police the city manager and

666
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:02,080
the City

667
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,600
attorney we have worked on this proposed

668
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,559
ordinance with input from the chief of

669
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:09,720
police a police union representative the

670
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,840
city manager the City attorney the mayor

671
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,159
and members of various Community

672
00:27:15,159 --> 00:27:17,480
organizations we feel we have a very

673
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,880
good chief of police and we have found

674
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,640
his input

675
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,080
invaluable he has made it clear to us

676
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,360
that he does not Embrace this concept

677
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:27,799
but he is willing to give it fair

678
00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:28,880
consider

679
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,240
itation this is not something we have

680
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,720
taken lightly or entered into without

681
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,000
the understanding that it is complicated

682
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,559
and difficult to craft an ordinance that

683
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:41,320
is effectively written we have written

684
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,600
and revised this ordinance many times

685
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,480
over the past four years we think we

686
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,679
have a good police department and we

687
00:27:48,679 --> 00:27:50,919
want it to be able to grow and develop

688
00:27:50,919 --> 00:27:53,600
in a way that benefits the total health

689
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,000
and well-being of the officers doing the

690
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,440
work and the community that they Serve

00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:32,039
community that Sharon mentioned I'm here

702
00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:33,640
tonight to voice my support for the

703
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,360
ordinance that will establish a Citizens

704
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:39,640
Advisory board or cab to assist the scpd

705
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,159
in its role of ensuring Public Safety

706
00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:45,720
the cab will be valuable in several ways

707
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,600
first and most importantly it will

708
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,919
Foster dialogue aimed at addressing

709
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:52,240
CommunityWide issues the composition of

710
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,799
the cab brings together people from

711
00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:56,080
various relevant professions and diverse

712
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,080
walks of life anytime the town considers

713
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,760
law enforcement policies it will be

714
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,440
doing so in a way that is broadly

715
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,080
informed leading to more holistic and

716
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,240
innovative solutions and

717
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,480
approaches in an Ideal World um second

718
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,840
sorry it will build trust by creating a

719
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,799
cab the town is sending a message to all

720
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:17,720
of its citizens that the scpd values

721
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,399
their input in an Ideal World when a

722
00:29:20,399 --> 00:29:22,159
police officer interacts with another

723
00:29:22,159 --> 00:29:25,039
citizen that citizen sees the officer as

724
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:27,360
looking out for their interests this

725
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,320
sort of interaction requires the kind of

726
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,640
trust that is built through the

727
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,240
acknowledgement of concerns and the

728
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,640
shared ownership of goals third it will

729
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,360
increase transparency and input without

730
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,360
sacrificing the need to keep certain

731
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,679
information within the department there

732
00:29:42,679 --> 00:29:44,360
are important practical and legal

733
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,600
considerations when it comes to

734
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,000
transparency and law enforcement and for

735
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,200
that reason while the cab strives to

736
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,640
establish much needed transparency it

737
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,559
also strikes a careful balance and keeps

738
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:56,360
the nature of what information can be

739
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,039
shared in the exist in legal framework

740
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:02,519
some one might worry before reading this

741
00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,799
ordinance whether the cab will have any

742
00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:07,440
immediate impact um on the efficacy of

743
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,440
our police department and this is

744
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,600
understandable the success of our police

745
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,200
officers equals the safety of our

746
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,640
community so I feel it's essential to

747
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,760
emphasize that this board does not

748
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,960
supplant or interfere with the existing

749
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,159
chain of command and cannot set or

750
00:30:22,159 --> 00:30:25,440
change existing scpd policies or

751
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,679
procedures the cab has two roles to be

752
00:30:28,679 --> 00:30:31,200
an outlet for grievances as Sharon has

753
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,679
just discussed and to advise its value

754
00:30:34,679 --> 00:30:36,840
is in the research and varied expertise

755
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,039
it brings to the table as well as the

756
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:40,960
link of transparency and communication

757
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,559
that it creates between the scpd and our

758
00:30:43,559 --> 00:30:46,279
Town's elected officials in a

759
00:30:46,279 --> 00:30:47,960
functioning democracy it's imperative

760
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,480
that a balance be found between the

761
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,360
guiding voice of the people and the

762
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,799
knowledge of trains experts under the

763
00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:56,000
leadership of Chief Portillo we have a

764
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,720
department full of skilled professionals

765
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,120
who know how to do their jobs at the

766
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,559
same time no single police interaction

767
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:05,080
be it Criminal Trespass a welfare check

768
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,120
or a dispute between neighbors happens

769
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,039
in a vacuum there is a context in which

770
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:12,240
these things happen input from experts

771
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,480
in other fields Social Work mental

772
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,200
health education as well as input about

773
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,360
the values and concerns of Silver City

774
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,519
residents will provide a clearer picture

775
00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:23,960
of this context and a shared voice to

776
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:31,470
Define it thank you thank you

00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:07,799
this seems like a win-win situation for

788
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:10,159
everyone and I really really hope that

789
00:32:10,159 --> 00:32:12,480
you will agree to have the citizens

790
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:13,799

Mr mayor council people or council

795
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,200
members a citizen Advisory Board should

796
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,480
not be a policy making body otherwise

797
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,639
the ability of the police officer's job

798
00:32:41,639 --> 00:32:44,240
will be compromised and that is what I

799
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,039
see if a board like this comes about to

800
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:49,600
meet it's the people with an agenda

801
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,320
against the police who wants this board

802
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,760
it's people who are against law

803
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,960
enforcement and they want to control and

804
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,840
become the police department citizens

805
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,399
Advisory Board cannot understand what

806
00:33:01,399 --> 00:33:03,799
law enforcement go through unless you

807
00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:06,039
have been a law enforcement officer

808
00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:07,760
don't try to tell them how to do their

809
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:12,240
job I see transplants people from other

810
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,559
states who move to Silver City from

811
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:18,600
Chicago California Colorado and Etc and

812
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,080
who want to change their Town into what

813
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,639
they have left I see citizens Advisory

814
00:33:24,639 --> 00:33:27,559
Board as puppeteers and they want to

815
00:33:27,559 --> 00:33:29,840
make our Law Enforcement Officers

816
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,600
puppets the citizen Advisory Board

817
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,639
becomes the police sorry that doesn't

818
00:33:35,639 --> 00:33:38,679
work leave it as it is if you have

819
00:33:38,679 --> 00:33:40,399
concerns or issues with the law

820
00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:42,519
enforcement make an appointment with the

821
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:45,480
police chief or the mayor the citizen

822
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,080
Advisory Board is just trying to control

823
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,639
our Law Enforcement Officers without

824
00:33:50,639 --> 00:33:53,840
putting their life on the line I

825
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,639

826
00:33:56,639 --> 00:34:00,120
is not my intention is to support our Law

Enforcement Officers 100% whose service

828
00:34:03,679 --> 00:34:06,159
to our community is

829
00:34:06,159 --> 00:34:08,599
priceless and at one of our council

830
00:34:08,599 --> 00:34:11,560
meeting councilman Nicholas Prince

831
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,720
attacked our city police officers due to

832
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:18,119
that fact he is biased against our city

833
00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:20,520
police and as far as I'm concerned you

834
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,480
should have a vote thank

00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:30,200

lore here you go thank you good evening

855
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:29,320
my name is Steven lmore I'm the

856
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,680
president of the Silver City Police

857
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,119
Officers Association uh when it comes

858
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:36,240
down to this citizens Advisory Board um

859
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:37,520
the town

860
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,160
will lose a lot of police

861
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,760
officers um is an Advisory Board such a

862
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,320
bad thing necessarily no U but there's a

863
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,520
lot of writing in here that is trying to

864
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,000
give The Advisory Board way too much

865
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,720
control it's going to push officers away

866
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:56,400
uh or push officers away and I think a

867
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,440
lot of things in this need to be fixed uh before it's implemented uh

868
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,870
first of

869
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,119
all it says that each Town counselor

870
00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:08,200
needs to nominate one board member

871
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,640
there's a specific Town counselor that

872
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,440
decided to conduct his own investigation

873
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,599
against a police officer uh going around

874
00:36:14,599 --> 00:36:16,000
Silver City saying that that police

875
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,359
officer was corrupt and shortly after

876
00:36:18,359 --> 00:36:19,920
that that police officer left the police

877
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,520
department we're one spot away from

878
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,440
being fully staffed and if this is

879
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,400
implemented we're going to lose plenty

880
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,160
of officers

881
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,359
um another part of this talks about

882
00:36:30,359 --> 00:36:32,440
discipline um our Police Department

883
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,079
actually revised its policies through a

884
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:37,480
law firm which Toro spoken about before

885
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,920
and when it comes down to someone filing

886
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,599
a complaint this states that if the

887
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:45,960
complaintant is not happy with the

888
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,280
complaint then it needs to be

889
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,000
readdressed however we specifically have

890
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,400
a discipline Matrix in our policies to

891
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,280
help us with how discipline is handed

892
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,800
down so that this Advisory board with

893
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,640
them going against the discipline that

894
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,760
would violate our policy uh it

895
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,319
repeatedly speaks about how all they

896
00:37:02,319 --> 00:37:06,319
wish to do is strengthen and improve our

897
00:37:06,319 --> 00:37:08,040
current policies but that's doing the

898
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,480
exact opposite of that it speaks about

899
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,880
trying to tell us or it wants to help us

900
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,200
with the problems such as homelessness

901
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,440
addiction mental illness domestic

902
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,880
violence stuff like that um however we

903
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,280
are mandated to do yearly trainings on

904
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,800
all those issues from people that have

905
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:26,960
way more knowledge than what this

906
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,920
Advisory Board report is going to have

907
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,000
uh the state of New Mexico mandates us

908
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,839
to do those

909
00:37:32,839 --> 00:37:36,079
trainings another issue we see here

910
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,720
would be seeking up the best continuing

911
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:42,079
education as I just mentioned we are

912
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:45,839
constantly going to um specialized

913
00:37:45,839 --> 00:37:48,119
trainings getting additional education

914
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:49,880
to handle those issues we don't need

915
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,119
people that don't have law enforcement

916
00:37:51,119 --> 00:37:52,480
experience to be telling us how to do

917
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:53,680
our

918
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,910
jobs lastly

919
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,480
I don't feel that they need to have

920
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,160
any information relevant to hiring a

921
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,079
police chief again they have no

922
00:38:05,079 --> 00:38:08,280
knowledge as to what it would take to

923
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,920
know who's the best candidate as a

924
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,839
police chief and I'll just close by

925
00:38:12,839 --> 00:38:13,920
saying once again that we're going to

926
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,760

year did you sign up Mr Tori that is

963
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,160
correct and this uh wonderful lady and

964
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,520
this gentleman over here we all signed

965
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,760
up there's maybe there's another list

966
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:46,829
out there

967
00:40:46,839 --> 00:41:18,069
okay the first meeting in January

968
00:41:18,079 --> 00:41:31,670

969
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,359
you mark those who haven't had a chance

970

sheets and some people signed in several

973
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,400
times so I think it's very important

974
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,560
that when you come early enough to sign

975
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,560

00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,910
City

991
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,480
officials

992
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,359
I I'm going to EXP exp to my thoughts on

993
00:43:29,359 --> 00:43:30,680
this

994
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,160
here I talked to Mr Schneider at my

995
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,760
house and he mentioned to me that there

996
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,200
wasn't no way that they were going to

997
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,720
interfere and do their job with the

998
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:43,839
police

999
00:43:43,839 --> 00:43:46,480
department I mentioned to him that what

1000
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,920
happens if you guys do this Advisory

1001
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,760
Board may we do an Advisory Board to

1002
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,079
oversee what you guys are

1003
00:43:55,079 --> 00:43:57,599
doing and I don't think that's only

1004
00:43:57,599 --> 00:44:01,319
Fair we have no idea we have

1005
00:44:01,319 --> 00:44:05,359
no we have no no no feelings to to help

1006
00:44:05,359 --> 00:44:08,000
the chief here or the police department

1007
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,200
they are doing a good job we have so

1008
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,680
much hatred in this County here so much

1009
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,160
hatred here in Silver City we what we

1010
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,920
are doing we're destroying ourselves

1011
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:26,000
because we want to be a top dog we can't let them do their job they know

1012
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,720
what they're doing that's what they get

1013
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:28,559
paid

1014
00:44:28,559 --> 00:44:31,920
for advisers let's let's let's get rid

1015
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,359
of it I'm all my life I have lived here

1016
00:44:35,359 --> 00:44:37,319
we don't need this stuff we don't need

1017
00:44:37,319 --> 00:44:38,839
it at

1018
00:44:38,839 --> 00:44:42,599
all don't fix what's not broken and I

1019
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:43,520
understand that

1020
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,200
people have some sort of issue with the

1021
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,000
police department every Department in

1022
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,920
America has a bad apple every department

1023
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,240
whether it be the police department the

1024
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:56,559
fire department the Town Council the

1025
00:44:56,559 --> 00:44:59,559
mayor every department has a bad apple

1026
00:44:59,559 --> 00:45:01,119
and that reflects down and just goes

1027
00:45:01,119 --> 00:45:04,119
back down the line This is unfair to the

1028
00:45:04,119 --> 00:45:06,720
chief it's unfair to to the cfy manager

1029
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,319
it's unfair to the lawyer I believe that

1030
00:45:09,319 --> 00:45:13,079
they're going against what has been

1031
00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:15,440
brought up the contracts and all

1032
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,680

00:48:29,319 --> 00:48:31,280
what community Gathering is all about

1108
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,559
just look at what's going on right now

1109
00:48:33,559 --> 00:48:35,480

just uh hello Mr Mayor councilman uh my

1116
00:49:00,119 --> 00:49:03,040
name is Andy Payne I live in Silver City

1117
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,440
and I'm here to urge support for this

1118
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,559
notice of intent to vote on an ordinance

1119
00:49:06,559 --> 00:49:09,200
that would establish a Citizens advisory

1120
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,040
uh

1121
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,880
board I believe that the more

1122
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,920
communication and transparency there is

1123
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,119
between any government agency and the

1124
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:20,000
public the better establishing a

1125
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,760
Citizens Advisory board for the police

1126
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,599
would be a step towards improving that

1127
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:25,960
communication and transparency in our

1128
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,680
town

1129
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,119
any government

1130
00:49:29,119 --> 00:49:31,960
agency that includes the police if it's

1131
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,240
truly trying to do its job should

1132
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:37,000

1133
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,400

tonight to my full

1146
00:50:15,319 --> 00:50:19,880
support of the noi of ordinance 1335 for

1147
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,799
a Citizens Advisory

1148
00:50:21,799 --> 00:50:24,720
Board emphasis on

1149
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:28,079
advisory if anyone was listen in they do

1150
00:50:28,079 --> 00:50:30,160
not have any

1151
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:35,359
capacity to set policy that's key Chief

1152
00:50:35,359 --> 00:50:37,480
Portillo has already stated according to

1153
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,520
the press that he would work with the

1154
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,839
board should the community want it and I

1155
00:50:42,839 --> 00:50:45,839
urge the counselors to vote

1156
00:50:45,839 --> 00:50:48,319
Yes and I would say with regard to

1157
00:50:48,319 --> 00:50:50,640
efforts at recruitment for police

1158
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,720
positions as a taxpayer a Community

1159
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:56,000
member someone who walks the streets

1160
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,160
someone who drives my car around someone

1161
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,799
who goes to the store to church I would

1162
00:51:00,799 --> 00:51:03,480
not approve of hiring anyone who would

1163
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,240
not be willing to work with the citizens

1164
00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:09,400
Advisory Board and as far as police off

1165
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,240
officers threatening to quit what are

1166
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:15,520
they afraid of they're police

1167
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,119
officers right why would they be afraid

1168
00:51:18,119 --> 00:51:20,599
of community members who are simply

1169
00:51:20,599 --> 00:51:24,400
there to advise and to help and to

1170
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:29,280
support but not to control daytoday

1171
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,240
activities that's none of their

1172
00:51:32,240 --> 00:51:35,440
business I especially like the fact that

1173
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,599
this board would include a mental health

1174
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:39,559
professional Two Social Work

1175
00:51:39,559 --> 00:51:41,480
professionals and a person with a

1176
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,000
background in

1177
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,000
education no they would not all be

1178
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,280
graduates of the police academy but not

1179
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,880
everything is about just the

1180
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,680
police academy it's about what happened

1181
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,440
on a day-to-day basis in the community

1182
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,079
and people who have degrees in social

1183
00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:05,079
work not just random trainings on a

1184
00:52:05,079 --> 00:52:08,280
yearly basis have studied these kinds of

1185
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,160
issues and can offer their

1186
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,000
support a citizen Advisory board that

1187
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,200
followed best practices and you can

1188
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,960
Google that there's best practices for

1189
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,240
citizen advisory boards across the

1190
00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:24,000
country should be a welcome addition to

1191
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,119
those who care about com Community

1192
00:52:26,119 --> 00:52:27,760
safety

1193
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,160
such a board would be explicitly helpful

1194
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,359
to police officers and not at all about

1195
00:52:34,359 --> 00:52:37,760
controlling their day-to-day duties or

1196
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,280
routine silver the Silver City Community

1197
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:46,160
has suffered too much from Bad official

1198
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:50,319
decisions that may have been avoided if

1199
00:52:50,319 --> 00:52:53,520
there had been an Advisory Board I take

1200
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,559
issue with what my counselor said at the

1201
00:52:55,559 --> 00:52:58,670
opening statement

1202
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,079
about Nikki

1203
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:03,720
Bascom say her

1204
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:07,079
name while we can't say for sure in

1205
00:53:07,079 --> 00:53:09,520
hindsight that a citizen's Advisory

1206
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,839
Board would have prevented her death we

1207
00:53:12,839 --> 00:53:16,040
can say for sure that her pleas to the

1208
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,240
police department at that time for help

1209
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:20,799
and support for her own protection and

1210
00:53:20,799 --> 00:53:23,040
her children's protection were just

1211
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:27,920
shined on quote unquote in the

1212
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,720
press in other words her pleas were

1213
00:53:31,720 --> 00:53:34,319
ignored even though the police chief at

1214
00:53:34,319 --> 00:53:37,319
the time and the officers knew about the

1215
00:53:37,319 --> 00:53:39,799
allegations of domestic abuse and

1216
00:53:39,799 --> 00:53:43,880
threats by Captain

1217
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,599
contas say his

1218
00:53:46,599 --> 00:53:49,520
name it was so clear that Nikki was

1219
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,799
ignored that the city lost a $10 million

1220
00:53:52,799 --> 00:53:58,190
lawsuit excuse me

1221
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,440
had Nikki been able to file a complaint

1222
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,440
M with a community Advisory Board it

1223
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,839
just may have made a difference M Ortiz

1224
00:54:08,839 --> 00:54:11,319
and that is why it is a giant step

1225
00:54:11,319 --> 00:54:13,640
forward I just want to remind you you

1226
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,680

have one sentence left sorry about

1228
00:54:19,599 --> 00:54:23,799
that got carried away that's why it is

1229
00:54:23,799 --> 00:54:29,160
time to take a giant step forward and further protect the community and

1230
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:30,559
the police

1231
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:34,319
officers and create a citizen's Advisory

1232
00:54:34,319 --> 00:54:43,750
board thank you for your time thank

1233
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,280

1234
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,000
last name starts with an H it was an

1235
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:57,510
error I'm good okay

1237
00:55:06,319 --> 00:55:10,040
Javier next is uh

1238
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:18,510
Dennis Neen and I can't read the

1239
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,760
rest uh that's nzo Mr Mayor thank you uh

1240
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,480
mayor and council members uh I too made

1241
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,480
a mistake I thought it was attendance

1242
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:31,319
but here I find myself with an

1243
00:55:31,319 --> 00:55:35,400
opportunity I read the uh ordinance it's

1244
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:39,119
well written I cannot see why a police

1245
00:55:39,119 --> 00:55:42,440
officer would think about quitting

1246
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,400
because of a little bit of shall we say

1247
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,599
oversight that doesn't have a

1248
00:55:47,599 --> 00:55:51,240
bite on another issue we've all watched

1249
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:54,799
as Los Angeles has come under a terrible

1250
00:55:54,799 --> 00:55:56,359
fire

1251
00:55:56,359 --> 00:55:57,920
and all the things that are happening

1252
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,079
out there many of us have friends I have

1253
00:56:01,079 --> 00:56:04,839
former family members out there and I've

1254
00:56:04,839 --> 00:56:07,359
seen the kind of Destruction that other

1255
00:56:07,359 --> 00:56:11,839
fires have provided uh that area and I

1256
00:56:11,839 --> 00:56:15,559
would like to get together with Chief

1257
00:56:15,559 --> 00:56:18,559
Lambert and discuss what our community

1258
00:56:18,559 --> 00:56:22,559
has done and can do in light of the

1259
00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:24,680
shortcomings of being able to fight such

1260
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,559
a fire in LA it would have to do with

1261
00:56:27,559 --> 00:56:31,119
the water department Reserve water

1262
00:56:31,119 --> 00:56:33,720
tankers perhaps uh for the fire

1263
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:35,839
department and other things that could

1264
00:56:35,839 --> 00:56:38,839
be done to further ensure that our

1265
00:56:38,839 --> 00:56:41,920
community might have success in fighting

1266
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,520
a large fire we find a lot of uh

1267
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,240
instructive uh things that happened in

1268
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:51,640
LA and for our small community obviously

1269
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,920
of limited resources we should be able

1270
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,200
to at least do something to provide

1271
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,960
ourselves a better method of fighting a

1272
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,799
large fire because we're surrounded by

1273
00:57:02,799 --> 00:57:05,440
forests and it would not be an easy task

1274
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,760
for just our fire department or even the

1275
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,079
slurry bombers they get started late in

1276
00:57:10,079 --> 00:57:12,559
the game not always up front thank you

1290
00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:10,720
while the proposed Advisory board has

1291
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,960
some good ideas such as obtaining input

1292
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,760
from teachers social workers mental

1293
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,680
health workers as and

1294
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,480
others um as well as tackling the

1295
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,200
problem of our homelessness and

1296
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,359
Behavioral Health need needs in our

1297
00:58:27,359 --> 00:58:30,400
community there are areas within the

1298
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:35,349
proposal as written that are

1299
00:58:35,359 --> 00:58:38,240
problematic as a proposal is written

1300
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,480
currently written I believe that the

1301
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,079
community Advisory

1302
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:46,670
Board would end up being

1303
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,240
counterproductive I'm going to give you

1304
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,280
some

1305
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,039
examples example one is on page

1306
00:58:53,039 --> 00:58:55,039
three number

1307
00:58:55,039 --> 00:58:58,000
two it states that the board shall

1308
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,160
receive quarterly data on

1309
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,280
complaints and the Department's

1310
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,880
disciplinary actions towards those

1311
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:13,559
complaints example two page four number

1312
00:59:13,559 --> 00:59:17,480
nine you discussed disciplinary actions

1313
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,230
of

1314
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:24,599
officers um and and discussing those

1315
00:59:24,599 --> 00:59:27,440
disciplinary actions to members of the

1316
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,880
community that have

1317
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,520
complaints you also go on to explain if

1318
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,039
the discipline is not deemed

1319
00:59:36,039 --> 00:59:38,920
adequate by The Advisory board that the

1320
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:45,069
city manager and the attorney will be

1321
00:59:45,079 --> 00:59:48,720
contacted a community advisory board's

1322
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,000
recommendations should be considered as

1323
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,960
uh very meaningful

1324
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,839
information uh for the police department

1325
00:59:57,839 --> 01:00:01,480
but should not be binding to what the

1326
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,760
police department decides to

1327
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,079
do the advisory board's responsibilities

1328
01:00:07,079 --> 01:00:11,359
as written appears to be an initiative

1329
01:00:11,359 --> 01:00:15,319
or Avenue to discipline police and

1330
01:00:15,319 --> 01:00:16,920
undermine the authority and

1331
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:21,270
responsibility of the police

1332
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,680
chief there is also a uh area in that

1333
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:26,480
where

1334
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,000
um it is mentioned that the Advisory

1335
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:35,319
Board should have information on on uh

1336
01:00:35,319 --> 01:00:42,430
the Union's

1337
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,240
negotiations the responsibility and

1338
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,799
purpose of an Advisory Board should be

1339
01:00:47,799 --> 01:00:51,319
to enhance Community understanding

1340
01:00:51,319 --> 01:00:54,200
engagement and Foster proactive

1341
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,079
communication

1342
01:00:56,079 --> 01:00:58,119
and cooperation between the police

1343
01:00:58,119 --> 01:01:01,440
department and the

1344
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,160
citizens to operate an effective

1345
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,359
Community Police Advisory board members

1346
01:01:07,359 --> 01:01:11,240
need to have a strong understanding of

1347
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:15,480
the daily functions responsibilities and

1348
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,599
challenges that our Law Enforcement

1349
01:01:17,599 --> 01:01:22,069
Officers face each

1350
01:01:22,079 --> 01:01:25,400
day you mentioned that the board would

1351
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,559
provide Research into upand cominging

1352
01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:31,839
policies and education for law

1353
01:01:31,839 --> 01:01:34,119
enforcement it that's positive and I'm

1354
01:01:34,119 --> 01:01:37,359
sure the chief would love to hear more

1355
01:01:37,359 --> 01:01:40,240
ideas you know to uh make his Department

1356
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:47,390
better or to better prepare his um

1357
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,119
officers however the chief knows that

1358
01:01:51,119 --> 01:01:54,200
his Department what his Department can

1359
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:59,750
and cannot do with the Manpower that he

1360
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,520
has without The Advisory

1361
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,760
Board the council mayor and city manager

1362
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,839
can still recommend measurable and

1363
01:02:10,839 --> 01:02:13,559
objective goals for the police chief to

1364
01:02:13,559 --> 01:02:17,720
accomplish monthly quarterly and

1365
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,799
yearly while continuing to

1366
01:02:20,799 --> 01:02:23,920
communicate all the community concerns

1367
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,760
to the police chief fostering

1368
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,400
communication with the public without

1369
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:34,910
fueling the fire is a

1370
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:38,680
recommendation the officer's body cam

1371
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,920
videos are reviewed frequently by the

1372
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,119
police Administration for performance

1373
01:02:44,119 --> 01:02:47,680
Improvement compliance opportunities

1374
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,599
misconduct and police

1375
01:02:50,599 --> 01:02:54,200

1376
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:58,559
reviewed by judges attorneys a 12 panel

1377
01:02:58,559 --> 01:03:03,760

Mexico has the second highest crime rate

1381
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,680

is rated as the 50th worst state to live

1386
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:33,400
and raise a

1387
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,920
family the high crime rate was one of

1388
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,920
the mentioned contributions to that

1389
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,359
figure I am asking the

1390
01:03:43,359 --> 01:03:47,680
council to hold off on voting for The

1391
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,400
ordinance Amendment for

1392
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:51,920
now

1393
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,839
instead continue and improve upon the

1394
01:03:54,839 --> 01:03:58,119
work your already doing with positive

1395
01:03:58,119 --> 01:04:00,760
communication between the community and

1396
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:01,720
police

1397
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,520
department also continue your work on

1398
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,680
improving our community resource

1399
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,039
deficits in Behavioral Health

1400
01:04:09,039 --> 01:04:13,720
homelessness drug addiction and

1401
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,559
safety you have great

1402
01:04:17,559 --> 01:04:21,400
ideas however there needs to be a change

1403
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,960
in the way this community Advisory Board

1404
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,240
amendment is written

1405
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,920
Mr lore you have about a half a minute

1406
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,119
left yes sir with the way that the

1407
01:04:31,119 --> 01:04:33,079
proposal is written I am afraid that

1408
01:04:33,079 --> 01:04:35,000
police officers retainment and

1409
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,870
recruitment will be negatively

1410
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,720
affected your job as city government is

1411
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,480
to do the greatest good for the greatest

1412
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,039
number micromanaging a small Police

1413
01:04:46,039 --> 01:04:48,039
Department when crime is at an all-time

1414
01:04:48,039 --> 01:04:51,240
high is not proactive Instead at this

1415
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,559
time the greatest good is advocating

1416
01:04:53,559 --> 01:04:55,160
with the police department for crime

1417
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,039
prevention strategies and engage the

1418
01:04:57,039 --> 01:04:59,400
community to help if you see something

1419
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,760
say something if an officer is in need

1420
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,079
ask him or her if they need help tell

mayor protm and the council decides that

1470
01:07:23,559 --> 01:07:25,240

1473
01:07:30,799 --> 01:07:33,000
parliamentary procedure if someone is

so what we wanted to present to you is

1777
01:22:45,719 --> 01:22:48,480
our plan for this coming year so we're

1778
01:22:48,480 --> 01:22:50,440
in a weird fiscal year for the tourism

1779
01:22:50,440 --> 01:22:52,880
marketing it goes November 1st through

1780
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:58,030
October 31st

1781
01:22:58,040 --> 01:22:59,159
and while we're doing that I'll just get

1782
01:22:59,159 --> 01:23:02,080
a couple of updates so you've heard from

1783
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:06,159
me from many years so we are very

1784
01:23:06,159 --> 01:23:07,800
strongly working with the New Mexico

1785
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,600
tourism department and the New Mexico

1786
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:13,040
true campaign for decades the way the

1787
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,120
tourism Department worked was it was a

1788
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:17,560
onetoone match you spent a dollar they

1789
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,199
matched a dollar during covid they

1790
01:23:20,199 --> 01:23:22,800
changed that to a two to one match I

1791
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,960
keep saying it's going away and they

1792
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:26,840
keep renewing it which is awesome so

1793
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,840
fiscal year 25 We are continuing with

1794
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:31,360
the two for one

1795
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,360
match and a good not is they just uh and

1796
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,000
the good note is they just opened up FY

1797
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,199
26 so we will see they have not

1798
01:23:39,199 --> 01:23:40,600
announced if they're going to continue

1799
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,480
the two for one match but I do know that

1800
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:44,679
the tourism department is going to the

1801
01:23:44,679 --> 01:23:47,400
legislature asking for more money it's

1802
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:49,120
working so I'm sure has everybody seen

1803
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,480
the New Mexico true campaign it just

1804
01:23:51,480 --> 01:23:53,440
makes my heart sing when I'm in Denver

1805
01:23:53,440 --> 01:23:55,440
and I see us someone them in Dallas and

1806
01:23:55,440 --> 01:23:57,920
so this last year with the extra money

1807
01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,800
they expanded into Seattle and San

1808
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,080
Francisco so their their focus has

1809
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:05,000
largly been on the Flyin markets so the

1810
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,360
direct flight Market um and really

1811
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,120
getting the word out nationally we focus

1812
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,520
our efforts on the drive Market here so

1813
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,320
we can go to the next slide so a little

1814
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:17,719
just about Sunny 505 the first time you

1815
01:24:17,719 --> 01:24:20,000
met me we were Griffin and Associates we

1816
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:23,480
rebranded as Sunny 505 in 2019 we are

1817
01:24:23,480 --> 01:24:25,320
the largest full service Communications

1818
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:28,199
firm in New Mexico we have 23 people I

1819
01:24:28,199 --> 01:24:29,400
didn't bring everybody there's just

1820
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,040
three of us here tonight um we are a New

1821
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:35,520
Mexico true certified agency uh Dave and

1822
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,199
I have been working with the New Mexico

1823
01:24:37,199 --> 01:24:39,400
true campaign since it was rolled out in

1824
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,520
2012 which seems like it was yesterday

1825
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:43,000
it's kind of hard to believe we're going

1826
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,159
into year 14 with it um and our

1827
01:24:46,159 --> 01:24:49,510
specialty is tourism

1828
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:52,360
marketing so a little bit our L Lodgers

1829
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,440
tax has continued to increase which is

1830
01:24:54,440 --> 01:24:56,280
great that gives us money to spend more

1831
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,400
on Advertising also tourists generate

1832
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:02,080
first receipts tax which we always love

1833
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,520
our primary markets have been and this

1834
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,880
is based on the data that we get of

1835
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,480
where the tourists are coming from

1836
01:25:09,480 --> 01:25:12,239
Tucson El Paso Las cruus I really think

1837
01:25:12,239 --> 01:25:14,520
El Paso should become part of New Mexico

1838
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,760
but El Paso Las cruus um and then

1839
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,520
Albuquerque and then we do reach

1840
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,400
nationally through our social media

1841
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,360
efforts through our public relations

1842
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,440
efforts and through our targeted digital

1843
01:25:27,440 --> 01:25:30,040
campaigns um our focus with all our ads

1844
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:34,000
is on the historic downtown the Arts and

1845
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,719
then the Outdoor Adventure travel we are

1846
01:25:36,719 --> 01:25:38,840
in partnership with Grant County and I

1847
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:40,520
think this is really important because

1848
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,280
Grant County also has a budget and we

1849
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:44,880
work together so that we're not

1850
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,159
duplicating efforts so with our New

1851
01:25:47,159 --> 01:25:49,040
Mexico true grants which Dave will talk

1852
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,679
about in a minute um I work closely with

1853
01:25:51,679 --> 01:25:54,520
the Grant County Lodgers Tax Advisor re

1854
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,199
board so that we are applying for

1855
01:25:56,199 --> 01:25:57,840
different things in different months so

1856
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,480
we get a full year of exposure but we're

1857
01:26:00,480 --> 01:26:02,280
not paying for all of it gr Count's

1858
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,040
paying for part of it we're paying for

1859
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:08,109
part of it so we make sure it's

1860
01:26:08,119 --> 01:26:10,639
complimentary New Mexico true as joanny

1861
01:26:10,639 --> 01:26:13,400
said has been uh working BR brilliantly

1862
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,639
for us here in New Mexico it's very

1863
01:26:15,639 --> 01:26:17,679
inspirational campaign it's about sight

1864
01:26:17,679 --> 01:26:20,480
doing not sightseeing so when people um

1865
01:26:20,480 --> 01:26:22,800
are searching to travel they they look

1866
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:24,719
at New Mexico and they look at so City

1867
01:26:24,719 --> 01:26:26,840
and they go well what can I do and we

1868
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,360
Inspire them to to take a look at New

1869
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,040
Mexico but to book a trip uh to Silver

1870
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:35,159
City so they can love what we love here

1871
01:26:35,159 --> 01:26:38,719
in Silver City so the great thing um

1872
01:26:38,719 --> 01:26:41,400
about the true campaign is that works it

1873
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:46,040
inspires Travelers other great thing is we're using the Department's money

1874
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:47,920
when uh we spend one they give us two

1875
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:50,760
more dollars to uh throw in the kitty to

1876
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:54,000
advertise more uh for our dollars uh as

1877
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,199
we encourage people to book a trip here

1878
01:26:56,199 --> 01:26:58,880
to Silver City um these are some of the

1879
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:00,960
deliverables that the New Mexico true

1880
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,119
Co-op program provides us for Silver

1881
01:27:03,119 --> 01:27:05,840
City as you can see there's a lot of

1882
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:08,040
variable different things that they

1883
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,320
provide for us and these are all part of

1884
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:13,280
the tools and the toolbox that we use as

1885
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:15,880
we go out and we search for people to

1886
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,679
book a trip here to Silver City and so

1887
01:27:18,679 --> 01:27:20,920
using their dollars is awesome their

1888
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:22,880
bigger dollars go out there and inspire

1889
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:24,719
people to love New Mexican

1890
01:27:24,719 --> 01:27:27,360
we Inspire them to love Silver City so

1891
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,440
let me just say a couple things if the

1892
01:27:29,440 --> 01:27:30,880
technology Works we're going to show you

1893
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:32,679
the latest from the video shoot I'm

1894
01:27:32,679 --> 01:27:34,480
gonna make Julie talk she doesn't want

1895
01:27:34,480 --> 01:27:37,880
to um but come on up here so Julie um

1896
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:39,719
was our boots on the ground during the

1897
01:27:39,719 --> 01:27:42,119
video shoot the other one that's really

1898
01:27:42,119 --> 01:27:45,199
exciting for this year um we started it

1899
01:27:45,199 --> 01:27:47,400
last year with New Mexico true is the

1900
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:50,679
annual Instagram micro influencer

1901
01:27:50,679 --> 01:27:54,239
campaign so who's on Instagram

1902
01:27:54,239 --> 01:27:57,840
MH okay mayor protim and one counselor

1903
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,440
Instagram is definitely the fastest

1904
01:28:00,440 --> 01:28:03,199
growing of the social media and it

1905
01:28:03,199 --> 01:28:05,800
targets I would say people under the age

1906
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:09,080
of 50 and so this was a new initiative

1907
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:11,199
the tourism Department rolled out last

1908
01:28:11,199 --> 01:28:14,480
year and it was looking at who are those

1909
01:28:14,480 --> 01:28:17,840
influencers that have at least 50,000

1910
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:21,280
followers that match or 100 I mean at

1911
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,960
least 50 but more that match the types

1912
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,280
of of people that we are we are

1913
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,600
attracting and so we bring them in and

1914
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:29,800
I'll let Julie talk about it because

1915
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,760
she's been doing it um and we plan an

1916
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:35,320
itinerary itinerary for them and then

1917
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,360
they post about their experience on

1918
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:39,440
their Instagram feed which is followed

1919
01:28:39,440 --> 01:28:42,159
by tens of thousands if not hundreds of

1920
01:28:42,159 --> 01:28:44,639
thousands of people and it come it's

1921
01:28:44,639 --> 01:28:46,560
what's so great about is it's very

1922
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:48,719
authentic so it's them sharing their

1923
01:28:48,719 --> 01:28:50,040
experience which is a different

1924
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:51,880
experience than seeing it in an ad so

1925
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:53,280
you can talk a little bit since you've

1926
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,320
been doing it I think Joanie just about

1927
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:56,800
said it all

1928
01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:00,400
but so um four times a year we have

1929
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:04,360
influencers that come here seasonally um

1930
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:08,520
last year we did the print Fiesta and we

1931
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,840
also coupled it with a mural tour

1932
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:15,080
because the murals are a huge draw here

1933
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:18,199
um and so every season we do something

1934
01:29:18,199 --> 01:29:21,719
that's you know pretty Dynamic um again

1935
01:29:21,719 --> 01:29:24,679
the tourism Department pays it's one so

1936
01:29:24,679 --> 01:29:26,960
it doesn't cost us that much money to

1937
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,280
get that much publicity but I live in

1938
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:32,080
Silver City and i' I've been doing this

1939
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:33,920
for many years I'm a former tourism

1940
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,560
director so I know my town really well

1941
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:38,119
I've got a lot of connections here I'm

1942
01:29:38,119 --> 01:29:40,800
also a local photographer so a lot of

1943
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,480
the assets that I curate on the social

1944
01:29:43,480 --> 01:29:45,880
media accounts are from people that live

1945
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,800
here and we always we would love for you

1946
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:51,920
guys to share with us so we could share

1947
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:53,600
the pictures that you take you just

1948
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,239
hashtag tag us that visit Silver City

1949
01:29:56,239 --> 01:29:58,600
we'll do our best to put you in the

1950
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:03,440
rotation um but I love promoting my town

1951
01:30:03,440 --> 01:30:05,159
and especially this year when we've got

1952
01:30:05,159 --> 01:30:07,719
the influencers coming because it's just

1953
01:30:07,719 --> 01:30:10,360
increased our visibility just

1954
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,040
exponentially it's great so another new

1955
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:14,760
initiative that started last year is the

1956
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,159
manag search so as Dave said typically

1957
01:30:17,159 --> 01:30:19,480
New Mexico true is at the top of the

1958
01:30:19,480 --> 01:30:21,360
funnel so somebody's you know

1959
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,440
considering going on a vacation New

1960
01:30:23,440 --> 01:30:25,760
Mexico wants to land in their brain

1961
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,920
cells and go oh that looks interesting

1962
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:29,639
and then as they move down the funnel

1963
01:30:29,639 --> 01:30:31,080
the bottom of the funnel they're hitting

1964
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:34,000
book now right so manage search are your

1965
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,360
Google AdWords and the ads that show up

1966
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,880
when somebody Googles and so we started

1967
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,199
it last year we had great results with

1968
01:30:41,199 --> 01:30:43,760
it so we increased it again for this

1969
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:45,800
year and the beauty of working so

1970
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:47,480
closely with Grant County is we're

1971
01:30:47,480 --> 01:30:49,639
paying for six months and Grant County

1972
01:30:49,639 --> 01:30:51,280
pays for six months so we get a full

1973
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,480
year of the exposure and so if

1974
01:30:53,480 --> 01:30:56,719
somebody's Googling um you know what's

1975
01:30:56,719 --> 01:30:59,400
happening in the heila wilderness an ad

1976
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:03,159
will show up of ours or um great murals

1977
01:31:03,159 --> 01:31:05,880
in the southwest our ad will show up so

1978
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:09,199
we have hundreds of different ad terms

1979
01:31:09,199 --> 01:31:11,400
and again this is a two for one so the

1980
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:14,440
state is paying 67% we're paying

1981
01:31:14,440 --> 01:31:17,440
23% then we do year round social media

1982
01:31:17,440 --> 01:31:20,159
ads both on Facebook and Instagram

1983
01:31:20,159 --> 01:31:22,800
static as well as video and this is also

1984
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:25,880
50/50 with grand County YouTube ads

1985
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:27,960
YouTube is now the second largest search

1986
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:30,400
engine behind Google so we have a

1987
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,159
YouTube presence then we do sponsored

1988
01:31:33,159 --> 01:31:36,280
content ads with the department so these

1989
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:39,960
appear like it's an article so um again

1990
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:42,239
targeting our various people so let's

1991
01:31:42,239 --> 01:31:45,080
just use Tucson as an example so Tucson

1992
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:47,440
you know is reading I don't know what

1993
01:31:47,440 --> 01:31:49,159
they read They're reading the Arizona

1994
01:31:49,159 --> 01:31:51,440
Daily Star and they're reading about how

1995
01:31:51,440 --> 01:31:53,119
hot it's going to be this summer and

1996
01:31:53,119 --> 01:31:55,119
then an article will show up about how

1997
01:31:55,119 --> 01:31:56,920
cool it is in Silver City and all the

1998
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:58,920
cool things there are to do and it will

1999
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,560
look like an article but it's actually

2000
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:02,679
paid for by the New Mexico tourism

2001
01:32:02,679 --> 01:32:04,960
Department then the New Mexico true

2002
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:06,920
adventure Guide comes out twice a year

2003
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:08,760
they do a summer and a winter Edition

2004
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:11,400
this is the official publication of the

2005
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,800
New Mexico tourism department they print

2006
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:16,480
600,000 copies which are distributed

2007
01:32:16,480 --> 01:32:19,320
around the state Colorado Texas Arizona

2008
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,920
Southern California and lives on new

2009
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:24,199
mexico. org so we have a full page in

2010
01:32:24,199 --> 01:32:27,320
that and then we have a 12we El Paso

2011
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,760
billboard that

2012
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:31,880
runs and then so that's what we do with

2013
01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:34,199
New Mexico true then with the rest of

2014
01:32:34,199 --> 01:32:36,960
the budget we have an i 10 Billboard

2015
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:38,760
that runs in the summer when it's

2016
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:40,840
miserably hot and Tucson and they need

2017
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:43,159
to escape that's between Tucson and

2018
01:32:43,159 --> 01:32:46,320
Silver City we have yearr round digital

2019
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:49,440
ads that run in the Tucson Airport

2020
01:32:49,440 --> 01:32:52,239
inside the airport we have a year-round

2021
01:32:52,239 --> 01:32:54,520
public relations campaign so every month

2022
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:56,280
we're pitching news stories to the

2023
01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:58,360
National media and we've had some great

2024
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:00,440
National exposure including being named

2025
01:33:00,440 --> 01:33:02,520
the best small town to retire and the

2026
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:04,679
best small town in the US so those are

2027
01:33:04,679 --> 01:33:07,480
the things that get on people's radar we

2028
01:33:07,480 --> 01:33:09,639
have year round social media posting

2029
01:33:09,639 --> 01:33:11,040
that Julie does so I'm going to just

2030
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:12,600
brag about her for a second because she

2031
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,280
won't she has grown our followings I'm

2032
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:16,520
trying to remember what it was when you

2033
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:19,280
took over but it was five or six yeah I

2034
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:21,920
think we had 5,000 on Facebook followers

2035
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:24,040
now we have 23,000

2036
01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:26,920
Instagram we had maybe 500 she's grown

2037
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,040
that to 6,300 so that's really amazing

2038
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:31,960
so she's a rock star in case you didn't

2039
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:35,320
know um so this year we are going to

2040

videos and with that I will open it up

2168
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:01,040
to

2169
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:03,639
questions any any questions councilor

2170
01:39:03,639 --> 01:39:06,639
conno I always have questions for them

2171
01:39:06,639 --> 01:39:08,719
um the first thing that I noticed when I

2172
01:39:08,719 --> 01:39:11,760
looked at these sample ads is that

2173
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:13,639
there's only one ad where you don't see

2174
01:39:13,639 --> 01:39:16,280
the person's face disabled people have

2175
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:18,679
faces too and that's the first thing I

2176
01:39:18,679 --> 01:39:21,320
noticed was that's just some random

2177
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:24,599
person's back so when you make ads that

2178
01:39:24,599 --> 01:39:28,440
include disabled people We Have Faces we

2179
01:39:28,440 --> 01:39:30,599
want to see faces if we don't see faces

2180
01:39:30,599 --> 01:39:32,360
that says yeah they probably don't care

2181
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:33,880
about disable people so that's what

2182
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:36,599
that's giving got it thank you

2183
01:39:36,599 --> 01:39:39,159
um how often do you change the pictures

2184
01:39:39,159 --> 01:39:42,000
in your ads we change them all the time

2185
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:45,560
he this ad these kids are in high school

2186
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:49,159
now this guy still takes pictures so if

2187
01:39:49,159 --> 01:39:51,119
we could update this I mean if it we use

2188
01:39:51,119 --> 01:39:52,599
the same family that's fine I mean they

2189
01:39:52,599 --> 01:39:54,239
they're attracted they'll look good in

2190
01:39:54,239 --> 01:39:57,400
ad but it to me seeing the same ad every

2191
01:39:57,400 --> 01:39:59,760
single time is getting a little bit

2192
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:02,239
monotonous and also if we're paying for

2193
01:40:02,239 --> 01:40:04,119
ads it shouldn't be the same ad for 20

2194
01:40:04,119 --> 01:40:06,320
years I mean they literally it's they're

2195
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:08,159
all they're both in high school the

2196
01:40:08,159 --> 01:40:11,480
other concern I have is again these ads

2197
01:40:11,480 --> 01:40:13,119
who are these people I mean I know

2198
01:40:13,119 --> 01:40:15,280
people in Tucson don't know them but

2199
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:16,880
people that are from Silver City that

2200
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:18,920
live in Tucson see those ads and like

2201
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,360
who are these people could you I mean

2202
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:22,880
there's some Attractive people in our

2203
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:23,840
town

2204
01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:28,880
they could be in an ad you know could we continue to change Those ads a

2205
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:30,440
little bit more and

2206
01:40:30,440 --> 01:40:34,320
please use local people especially local

2207
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:36,239
people that are ethnic that's always a

2208
01:40:36,239 --> 01:40:39,040
concern of mine yeah please thank you

2209
01:40:39,040 --> 01:40:41,880
and then my last concern and question is

2210
01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:44,520
when articles and things are written

2211
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:48,239
about events and things downtown we seem

2212
01:40:48,239 --> 01:40:51,159
to always talk about the same businesses

2213
01:40:51,159 --> 01:40:52,679
I've been approached by several business

2214
01:40:52,679 --> 01:40:54,960
owners down Town who would love to be

2215
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:56,560
part of one of those articles and are

2216
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,080
never approached so what is the the

2217
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:00,840
process for picking who you write about

2218
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:02,119
and how to the rest of the business

2219
01:41:02,119 --> 01:41:03,920
owners get a piece of this advertisement

2220
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:06,199
so they can get some business too so we

2221
01:41:06,199 --> 01:41:08,119
don't write we don't write articles

2222
01:41:08,119 --> 01:41:09,760
about the businesses we write press

2223
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:12,360
releases talking about the events and

2224
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,800
then the news people go out and find the

2225
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:16,119
different businesses so when that

2226
01:41:16,119 --> 01:41:17,679
there's that article about how cold it

2227
01:41:17,679 --> 01:41:19,880
is in Silver City in a summer in Tucson

2228
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:21,320
and you're talking about I'm going to

2229
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:22,960
stay the toad even though everyone knows

2230
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:24,520
I'm still a fan of the toad I go there

2231
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:25,880
often

2232
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:28,440
myself what about the the restaurants on

2233
01:41:28,440 --> 01:41:30,400
the other side of the street that never

2234
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:32,560
get picked up never get talked about

2235
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,679
like is there anything we can do so that

2236
01:41:34,679 --> 01:41:36,400
we're spreading the love and everybody

2237
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:38,000
gets a little piece of that or is it

2238
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:39,880
always going to be the same business so

2239
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:42,560
again we we don't we never promote local

2240
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,560
businesses we promote the entire area so

2241
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:47,639
I think what we can look at is perhaps

2242
01:41:47,639 --> 01:41:49,719
in the new website really highlighting

2243
01:41:49,719 --> 01:41:51,880
more of the local businesses but when

2244
01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:54,760
you're printing your your picture and

2245
01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:57,199
then they're giving you article time too

2246
01:41:57,199 --> 01:41:58,679
do you have any input into those

2247
01:41:58,679 --> 01:42:00,119
articles or are they just coming here

2248
01:42:00,119 --> 01:42:01,719
and writing whatever they want they come

2249
01:42:01,719 --> 01:42:03,760
and write what they want okay is there

2250
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:05,679
anything we can do about that because it

2251
01:42:05,679 --> 01:42:08,480
really looks bad that the ethically

2252
01:42:08,480 --> 01:42:11,639
owned businesses downtown are never

2253
01:42:11,639 --> 01:42:14,639
highlighted yeah and this is a town with

2254
01:42:14,639 --> 01:42:16,679
more than one culture and those cultures

2255
01:42:16,679 --> 01:42:18,440
would like to be highlighted as well

2256
01:42:18,440 --> 01:42:20,560
duly noted so we will see what we can do

2257
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:22,639
and would love your input as we redo the

2258
01:42:22,639 --> 01:42:24,320
website maybe have another set of eyes

2259
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:27,639
on it right thank you thank you any

01:44:32,199 --> 01:44:36,760
fire chief Milo Lambert um he along with

2298
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:39,639
uh manager Brown uh discussed some of

2299
01:44:39,639 --> 01:44:42,520
these outlines for employee of the month

2300
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:44,760
as well as employee of the year we feel

2301
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,719
like it's very important to um show our

2302
01:44:47,719 --> 01:44:50,080
gratitude for all of our employees and

2303
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:52,360
so with uh the employee of the month it

2304
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:55,000
would include a $200 bonus um uh

2305
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:56,920
Employee of the Month certificate an

2306
01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:00,400
additional day of leave um their picture

01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:02,199

and on the town website as well as a

2309
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:06,199
synopsis that will be sent to all

2310
01:45:06,199 --> 01:45:08,000
employees within the town as well as the

2311
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:09,760
Silver City Daily Press and they will be

2312
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:11,360
recognized at the first initial council

2313
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:13,599
meeting after their appointment and then

2314
01:45:13,599 --> 01:45:15,520
the employee of the year would be all of

2315
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:17,119
the employees of the month would be

2316
01:45:17,119 --> 01:45:19,159
appointed by the department heads and

2317
01:45:19,159 --> 01:45:21,400
then approved by uh Mr Brown and they

2318
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,760
would receive a $1,000 bonus as well as

2319
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:25,719
an additional day of leave and they

2320
01:45:25,719 --> 01:45:27,480
would be placed on all Department

2321
01:45:27,480 --> 01:45:29,480
bulletin boards and

2322
01:45:29,480 --> 01:45:32,880
similarly as the employee of the month

2323
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:34,880
um so ultimately there may be an

2324
01:45:34,880 --> 01:45:37,199
employee that could have a $1,200 bonus

2325
01:45:37,199 --> 01:45:40,000
so we're hoping you know to really show

2326
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:43,040
our appreciation to our employees it's

2327
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:45,599
um you know working as a community

2328
01:45:45,599 --> 01:45:47,560
living in a community is very important

2329
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:49,119
and everybody really takes pride in

2330
01:45:49,119 --> 01:45:51,159
their work and so we really want to show

2331
01:45:51,159 --> 01:45:54,599
all of that appreciation to everyone

2332
01:45:54,599 --> 01:45:56,560
thank you are there any questions

2333
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:58,560
Council count um I just want to say this

2334
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:00,639
is a great idea I'm I'm really glad that

2335
01:46:00,639 --> 01:46:02,159
you work this out and we're going to

2336
01:46:02,159 --> 01:46:04,360
hopefully pass this um could I ask that

2337
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,440
it also be put in the Grant County

2338
01:46:06,440 --> 01:46:09,199
beat and then um the other thing I

2339
01:46:09,199 --> 01:46:12,800
wanted to know was if there's a a member

2340
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:14,599
of the public who thinks an employee did

2341
01:46:14,599 --> 01:46:18,960
a great job is there a way for them to I think it's important because they'll

2342
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:20,880
be nominated by the department heads at

2343
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,760
our department head meeting but um um

2344
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:26,400
those nominations will be either

2345
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:28,639
through uh the recognition of the

2346
01:46:28,639 --> 01:46:31,480
department head or through letters of

2347
01:46:31,480 --> 01:46:35,000
emails or letters sent into to uh the

2348
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:37,000
department or the or the

2349
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:40,960
um the website so um we'll we'll just

2350
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:42,119
make sure

2351
01:46:42,119 --> 01:46:45,520
that any method will work yes so the

2352
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:47,239
co-workers managers as well as members

2353
01:46:47,239 --> 01:46:49,520
of the public can send their their

2354
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:51,040
recommendation to the department heads

2355
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:53,360
and then we are now having uh monthly

2356
01:46:53,360 --> 01:46:55,080
department head meetings so during those

2357
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:56,599
meetings we would discuss who would be

2358
01:46:56,599 --> 01:46:58,280
appointed as employee of the month and

2359
01:46:58,280 --> 01:46:59,599
then at the end of the year as the

2360
01:46:59,599 --> 01:47:01,960
employee of the

2361
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:04,920
year what is the mechanism uh for a

2362
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:07,880
Community member who wants to

2363
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:12,679
nominates uh someone to the chair or the

2364
01:47:12,679 --> 01:47:14,520
head of the department how does that

2365
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:16,880
occur mayor they can send it directly to

2366
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:18,719
the department heads or they can send it

2367
01:47:18,719 --> 01:47:20,400
also to the town

2368
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:22,920

other Council Boma um I'm glad to see

2379
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:49,679
that this is uh taking place I think I

2380
01:47:49,679 --> 01:47:51,920
mentioned it sometime last year that

2381
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:53,400
typically when somebody

2382
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:56,639
retires uh the uh people that usually

2383
01:47:56,639 --> 01:47:58,480
get recognized here Cil meetings are

2384
01:47:58,480 --> 01:48:02,199
department heads people uh that uh hold

2385
01:48:02,199 --> 01:48:04,360
High positions so it's nice to see that

2386
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:06,639
your everyday employees might be

2387
01:48:06,639 --> 01:48:08,360
recognized one of the things that I

2388
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:10,679
always uh when I picked up the paper I'd

2389
01:48:10,679 --> 01:48:12,360
see the Board of Trustees here at the

2390
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:14,880
hospital they would have a picture and

2391
01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:16,679
they would recognize an employee that

2392
01:48:16,679 --> 01:48:18,520
for their years of service or when they

2393
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:20,480
retired so I'm really glad this is

2394
01:48:20,480 --> 01:48:22,920
getting done so Chief I think it's in

2395
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:24,920
the blood because you and I have

2396
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:26,560

2491
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:30,639

committee called citizens for safety and

2493
01:53:32,719 --> 01:53:34,599
Community they have developed and

2494
01:53:34,599 --> 01:53:36,360
researched this ordinance numerous times

2495
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:39,119
over in four years the end product of

2496
01:53:39,119 --> 01:53:41,560
which is an excellent ordinance a quick

2497
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:44,040
overview of the ordinance is it's set up

2498
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:45,840
on eight person board comprised of

2499
01:53:45,840 --> 01:53:48,079
community professionals including but

2500
01:53:48,079 --> 01:53:50,639
not limited to social workers mental

2501
01:53:50,639 --> 01:53:52,960
health professionals and educators

2502
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:55,040
it provides for a third party being able

2503
01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:57,520
to bring citizens concerns to the police

2504
01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:00,159
department it will then follow existing

2505
01:54:00,159 --> 01:54:03,079
practices with Town Personnel reviewing

2506
01:54:03,079 --> 01:54:05,320
this concern then the town using

2507
01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:07,199
existing channels will send its finding

2508
01:54:07,199 --> 01:54:10,159
to The Advisory Board The Advisory Board

2509
01:54:10,159 --> 01:54:11,719
will then issue a written report to the

2510
01:54:11,719 --> 01:54:14,639
Town Council it provides for quarterly

2511
01:54:14,639 --> 01:54:16,880
Report with an analysis of crime arrest

2512
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:19,280
statistics it includes opportunities for

2513
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:20,800
The Advisory Board to research

2514
01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:23,480
Nationwide best practices gather input

2515
01:54:23,480 --> 01:54:25,639
from the community and research

2516
01:54:25,639 --> 01:54:27,760
solutions to homelessness addiction and

2517
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:28,880
mental health

2518
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:31,560
issues the other thing it does have in

2519
01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:35,800
here is um a trial period for one year

2520
01:54:35,800 --> 01:54:39,320
and if you think about how city

2521
01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:42,119
government acts this board will probably

2522
01:54:42,119 --> 01:54:45,719
not be really on board for a couple

2523
01:54:45,719 --> 01:54:47,440
months so it's only a few months that

2524
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:49,119
we'd be trying it for it' be a good time

2525
01:54:49,119 --> 01:54:51,560
to review any things or changes that

2526
01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:54,679
we'd want to add or to improve this

2527
01:54:54,679 --> 01:54:57,280
ordinance I finally would like to say I

2528
01:54:57,280 --> 01:54:58,800

2531
01:55:02,079 --> 01:55:04,760
job the job at the police department is

2532
01:55:04,760 --> 01:55:06,800
constantly changing and becoming more

2533
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:09,280
complex the intent of this ordinance is

2534
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:11,880
to uh help navigate concerns and

2535
01:55:11,880 --> 01:55:14,560
increase communication transparency in

2536
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:16,960
our community this ordinance can be

2537
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:18,639
another tool that the police have

2538
01:55:18,639 --> 01:55:20,920

some of the different parts of this um

2550
01:55:53,960 --> 01:55:57,000
ordinance and for that reason I would

2551
01:55:57,000 --> 01:55:58,719
suggest and hope that the my fell

2552
01:55:58,719 --> 01:56:00,480
counselors would agree with me that we

2553
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:04,119
postpone voting on this noce of intent

2554
01:56:04,119 --> 01:56:06,199
until we have a work session I think a

2555
01:56:06,199 --> 01:56:07,599
work session is really important so that

2556
01:56:07,599 --> 01:56:09,480
we can have a a dialogue between the

2557
01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:11,920
four of us instead of you know I ask my

2558
01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:13,360
two questions you ask your two questions

2559
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:14,880
you know so we can we can have a

2560
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:17,679
conversation before we pass this um I

2561
01:56:17,679 --> 01:56:20,760
really believe that a vote on this may

2562
01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:22,880
be changed if

2563
01:56:22,880 --> 01:56:26,400
we vote between voting on it now and if

2564
01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:28,280
we can work on it and make it a little

2565
01:56:28,280 --> 01:56:30,400
bit more acceptable hopefully at work

2566
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:32,239
session we'd have Mr kler Miss

2567
01:56:32,239 --> 01:56:34,760
bookwalter uh Mr laramore everyone else

2568
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:36,960
who's an interested party in this here

2569
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:38,360
so if we had questions for them they

2570
01:56:38,360 --> 01:56:40,520
would be able to answer them um so I

2571
01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:43,480
would propose that we do that we um

2572
01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:45,280
postpone this until we can have a work

2573
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:48,760
session so that's a motion um well I I'd

2574
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:51,800
like to be able to discuss it yeah I

2575
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:54,400
think we need to get the best ordinance

2576
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:58,310
we can get

2577
01:56:58,320 --> 01:57:01,280
um I think if we're going to do this

2578
01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:04,119
work session it should be immediate you

2579
01:57:04,119 --> 01:57:09,880
know not put it off and like I said get the members of

2580
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:13,639
the citizens uh for community and safety

2581
01:57:13,639 --> 01:57:18,159
involved and discuss it I I do think

2582
01:57:18,159 --> 01:57:19,360
that this

2583
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:22,880
ordinance has been reviewed many many

2584
01:57:22,880 --> 01:57:26,109
times

2585
01:57:26,119 --> 01:57:29,679
and I I don't I'm I'm open to

2586
01:57:29,679 --> 01:57:31,000
improvements but I don't know how many

2587
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:33,040
more improvements there can be and with

2588
01:57:33,040 --> 01:57:34,360
the trial

2589
01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:37,199
period it you know it it does give a

2590
01:57:37,199 --> 01:57:38,639
good opportunity that maybe down the

2591
01:57:38,639 --> 01:57:43,920
road we could review it then Mr chairman

2592
01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:47,199
yes um as for interal procedure where we

2593
01:57:47,199 --> 01:57:48,960
put through a notice of intent and then

2594
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:51,000
we set time to vote on it we do I

2595
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:52,679
believe have a process in place for

2596
01:57:52,679 --> 01:57:55,159
being able to review and amend this uh

2597
01:57:55,159 --> 01:57:57,360
for that then and with the ability then

2598
01:57:57,360 --> 01:57:59,560
for us to always be able to go back and

2599
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:01,480
have to review and amend this should any

2600
01:58:01,480 --> 01:58:04,079
issues emerge um so far I think that

2601
01:58:04,079 --> 01:58:06,159
this has been very maturely developed I

2602
01:58:06,159 --> 01:58:09,280
think that it is extremely manageable

2603
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:11,119
and as far as being able to ensure then

2604
01:58:11,119 --> 01:58:12,880
that we do have a process for review I

2605
01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:14,199
do believe we already have those tool

2606
01:58:14,199 --> 01:58:17,599
sets in place so Council so my response

2607
01:58:17,599 --> 01:58:19,360
to that would be that if you pass notice

2608
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:21,599
intent to the intent is to pass this

2609
01:58:21,599 --> 01:58:22,719
ordinance

2610
01:58:22,719 --> 01:58:26,360
if we make substantial revisions to that

2611
01:58:26,360 --> 01:58:27,840
correct me if I'm wrong Mr Reynolds we

2612
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:30,079
will have to do another notice of intent

2613
01:58:30,079 --> 01:58:33,119
for the new draft and that will continue

2614
01:58:33,119 --> 01:58:37,040
to to push things back um I'm just going

2615
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:39,119
to directly say it if we're voting for

2616
01:58:39,119 --> 01:58:41,480
the notice of intent tonight I will vote

2617
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:44,520
no would there be would there be some

2618
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:46,639
way something hang on please please

2619
01:58:46,639 --> 01:58:50,639
address through the uh through the uh

2620
01:58:50,639 --> 01:58:52,800
mayor would there be something that we

2621
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:56,320
could amend in the ordinance as is

2622
01:58:56,320 --> 01:58:59,560
and and make a change

2623
01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:03,679
tonight that that you were thinking of

2624
01:59:03,679 --> 01:59:05,719
two things a I believe we need to go

2625
01:59:05,719 --> 01:59:07,480
through it and I don't want to really

2626
01:59:07,480 --> 01:59:09,040
make this court audience sit here for

2627
01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:10,639
another four or five hours which I think

2628
01:59:10,639 --> 01:59:12,280
it could actually potentially end up

2629
01:59:12,280 --> 01:59:15,000
being and be if clear me if I'm wrong Mr

2630
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,320
Reynolds but we can't do that

2631
01:59:17,320 --> 01:59:20,480
parliamentary procedure correctly okay

2632
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:24,639
any any substantial change to the

2633
01:59:24,639 --> 01:59:28,159
ordinance you're going to have to re

2634
01:59:28,159 --> 01:59:31,400
advertise it repost it and start all

2635
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:35,360
over again um the only changes that

2636
01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:38,800
would be permitted um would be like like

2637
01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:42,000
uh typos and things of that nature so no

2638
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:44,599
you can't make any substantial changes

2639
01:59:44,599 --> 01:59:46,920
without having to go through the the

2640
01:59:46,920 --> 01:59:51,040
process again of re advertising it

2641
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:53,480
Council agree I think I think we need to

2642
01:59:53,480 --> 01:59:57,239
look at uh uh bring this uh to a work

2643
01:59:57,239 --> 01:59:58,719
session so we get a little bit more

2644
01:59:58,719 --> 02:00:01,960
input allow more U people in the

2645
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:05,159
community to voice their for or against

2646
02:00:05,159 --> 02:00:09,360
it um so I I I I like the idea of

2647
02:00:09,360 --> 02:00:12,679
postponing it Mr Mayor councilor Prince

2648
02:00:12,679 --> 02:00:15,199
I'm still unclear as to how our process

2649
02:00:15,199 --> 02:00:16,599
then for being able to review

2650
02:00:16,599 --> 02:00:18,360
legislation before it comes before a

2651
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:21,000
vote uh would in any way be damaged by

2652
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:22,840
this I do believe we have a substantial

2653
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:25,800
enough uh ordinance at this point and I

2654
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:27,360
would be concerned that if there is

2655
02:00:27,360 --> 02:00:28,560
going to be a substantial change and

2656
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:29,679
it's going to be one then that would

2657
02:00:29,679 --> 02:00:30,920
require that would then need to be

2658
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:32,840
brought up at the appropriate meeting as

2659
02:00:32,840 --> 02:00:34,560
it stands right now this is a notice of

2660
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:36,639
intent for us to go through that process

2661
02:00:36,639 --> 02:00:38,040
I still don't understand how we wouldn't

2662
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:39,960
be able to revise or review this and if

2663
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:41,280
it is substantial we would just need to

2664
02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:43,079
be moved to another meeting still by

2665
02:00:43,079 --> 02:00:44,719
following through a normal process

2666
02:00:44,719 --> 02:00:48,440
Council P Council cono Mr Mayor I move

2667
02:00:48,440 --> 02:00:52,199
to um postpone until a work session can

2668
02:00:52,199 --> 02:00:54,960
be held um the notice of intent of

2669
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:57,400

2670
02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:00,040

is there a second I'll second as stated

2676
02:01:13,880 --> 02:01:17,400
Council vano any

2677
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:20,920
discussion I have a few things to say

2678
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:24,000
um when I read uh from one of our

2679
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:27,679
previous meetings exhibit a and I think

2680
02:01:27,679 --> 02:01:29,280
you might

2681
02:01:29,280 --> 02:01:34,709
have submitted

2682
02:01:34,719 --> 02:01:38,679
that yes I would just like to read the

2683
02:01:38,679 --> 02:01:40,760
first

2684
02:01:40,760 --> 02:01:43,800
paragraph this evening I want to clarify

2685
02:01:43,800 --> 02:01:46,880
information about a group that is making

2686
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:49,960
a proposal for a Citizens Advisory

2687
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,880
Board I appreciate and fully support

2688
02:01:52,880 --> 02:01:56,040
Chief patio and the police department

2689
02:01:56,040 --> 02:01:58,400
recently there has been an incorrect

2690
02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:01,360
reference made about a police oversight

2691
02:02:01,360 --> 02:02:04,199
proposal this is not what is being

2692
02:02:04,199 --> 02:02:06,960
discussed rather there is a group called

2693
02:02:06,960 --> 02:02:10,199
citizens for safety and community that

2694
02:02:10,199 --> 02:02:12,599
has been working on a proposal for four

2695
02:02:12,599 --> 02:02:16,320
years for a Citizens Advisory

2696
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:20,400
Board I commend you councelor Snider for

2697
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:22,440
those comments

2698
02:02:22,440 --> 02:02:26,159
and I want to tell you that I agree with

2699
02:02:26,159 --> 02:02:28,599
the concept of an Advisory

2700
02:02:28,599 --> 02:02:33,280
board but as I read this

2701
02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:36,920
noi it doesn't sound that much like an

2702
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:38,159
Advisory

2703
02:02:38,159 --> 02:02:41,000
Board and I would like the council to

2704
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:43,920
have some time and I agree that it needs

2705
02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:45,119
to be

2706
02:02:45,119 --> 02:02:47,760
soon where we can sit down and talk

2707
02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:50,560
about these issues because you know I

2708
02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:53,239
don't want to have a split vote I don't

2709
02:02:53,239 --> 02:02:56,560
mind breaking a tie but I want us to try

2710
02:02:56,560 --> 02:02:59,360
to work together a little bit and come

2711
02:02:59,360 --> 02:03:02,239
up with something that we can all feel

2712
02:03:02,239 --> 02:03:06,199
good about rather than either are it may

2713
02:03:06,199 --> 02:03:08,920
come down to that at that some point but

2714
02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:10,880
I'd like to give it a try I want to see

2715
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:13,800
if we can work through this as a council

2716
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:15,800
remember what I said in my comments

2717
02:03:15,800 --> 02:03:18,599
about the council that we work together

2718
02:03:18,599 --> 02:03:22,440
well and I want to see if we can do that

2719
02:03:22,440 --> 02:03:28,040
and so um I I will vote in favor of u a

2720
02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:31,030
