00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:32,465

Yes.

8
00:02:05,087 --> 00:02:05,792

Yes.

10
00:02:06,302 --> 00:02:07,112
Nathan Murray.

11
00:02:07,112 --> 00:02:08,672
Yes Grayson Stone.

12
00:02:08,672 --> 00:02:09,272
Yes.

13
00:02:09,272 --> 00:02:10,198
Cherry bomber.

14
00:02:10,198 --> 00:02:10,823
Yes.

15
00:02:10,823 --> 00:02:11,449
OK.

16
00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:13,712
Motion carries 7 to 0.

17
00:02:13,712 --> 00:02:15,992
It takes us to our
items of consideration.

18
00:02:15,992 --> 00:02:20,162
In our first item of consider
is a request to authorize a city

19
00:02:20,162 --> 00:02:22,202
engineer to approve a
Southwell number five,

20
00:02:22,202 --> 00:02:30,422
change order for Pheasant PRV
in the amount of $847,410.

21
00:02:30,422 --> 00:02:35,312
Includes some contingency for
a total request of $900,000.

22
00:02:35,312 --> 00:02:37,322
There we go.

23
00:02:37,322 --> 00:02:38,052
John Here we go.

24
00:02:38,052 --> 00:02:38,552
Yes.

25
00:02:38,552 --> 00:02:41,792
My name is John keefer, staff
engineer, working for the city,

26
00:02:41,792 --> 00:02:44,462
specifically the
request is to authorize

27
00:02:44,462 --> 00:02:46,382
the city engineer to
approve a Southwell

28
00:02:46,382 --> 00:02:48,122
Number five, change order.

29
00:02:48,122 --> 00:02:53,642
The change order is merging the
pheasant PRV with the Southwell

30
00:02:53,642 --> 00:02:54,962
number five project.

31
00:02:54,962 --> 00:03:01,952
The pheasant provides an
existing project It is.

32
00:03:01,952 --> 00:03:04,742
The city is creating a new
pressure zone along the Pheasant

33
00:03:04,742 --> 00:03:09,002
Road and a new pressure release
valve going in at Pheasant Road

34
00:03:09,002 --> 00:03:12,902
and kenyon Road as well as there
are multiple water valves that

35
00:03:12,902 --> 00:03:16,022
are being shut off,
setting up a pressure

36
00:03:16,022 --> 00:03:20,792
zone on that pheasant
Road and we have a water

37
00:03:20,792 --> 00:03:24,872
pipe specifically that
we're connecting to sides

38
00:03:24,872 --> 00:03:29,012
on either side of the
coulee as well This

39
00:03:29,012 --> 00:03:32,522
is all right next to the
Southwell, number five.

40
00:03:32,522 --> 00:03:36,272
And so it is more
efficient cost wise

41
00:03:36,272 --> 00:03:39,842
as well as schedule wise
to put these two together.

42
00:03:39,842 --> 00:03:41,672
They're both water
system improvement

43
00:03:41,672 --> 00:03:46,472
projects The
Pheasant PRV has its

44
00:03:46,472 --> 00:03:52,729
own $850,000 budget already OK.

45
00:03:52,729 --> 00:03:58,407
Any questions for John ?

46
00:03:58,407 --> 00:04:00,692
Kay, What are council's wishes?

47
00:04:00,692 --> 00:04:04,862
Ruth Pierce Yes, I move we
authorize the city engineer

48
00:04:04,862 --> 00:04:06,062
to approve a Southwell.

49
00:04:06,062 --> 00:04:06,752
Number five.

50
00:04:06,752 --> 00:04:13,562
Change order for Pheasant
PRV in the amount of $847,410

51
00:04:13,562 --> 00:04:16,382
and include some
contention c for a total

52
00:04:16,382 --> 00:04:18,497
requests of $900,000.

53
00:04:18,497 --> 00:04:20,102
Sherry vomer.

54
00:04:20,102 --> 00:04:25,352
I'll second have a motion and a
second to approve to authorize

55
00:04:25,352 --> 00:04:28,772
the city engineer to approve
a Southwell Number five,

56
00:04:28,772 --> 00:04:32,822

request of $900,000.

59
00:04:40,393 --> 00:04:41,527
Any further discussion?

60
00:04:41,527 --> 00:04:42,132
OK.

61
00:04:42,132 --> 00:04:43,644
Amy, roll call.

62
00:04:43,644 --> 00:04:47,912

Yes.

72
00:04:54,902 --> 00:04:55,712
Andrew pearce.

73
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:56,312
Yes.

74
00:04:56,312 --> 00:04:56,812
Okay.

75
00:04:56,812 --> 00:04:58,542
Motion carries Seven zero.

76
00:04:58,542 --> 00:04:59,042
Thank you.

77
00:04:59,042 --> 00:05:04,622
Appreciate it.

78
00:05:04,622 --> 00:05:08,078
Kate that brings us to our
next item of consider a request

79
00:05:08,078 --> 00:05:11,402
to use the saving from
Harmon Park Court Light

80
00:05:11,402 --> 00:05:15,152
project to finish the landscape
and purchase some benches.

81
00:05:15,152 --> 00:05:18,422
And we have Wendy
Davis Good evening.

82
00:05:18,422 --> 00:05:19,232
Marin Council.

83
00:05:19,232 --> 00:05:21,842
It's kind of nice
to be here saying

84
00:05:21,842 --> 00:05:23,495
we got something almost done.

85
00:05:23,495 --> 00:05:30,362
And we saved some money So
if you'll recall in February

86
00:05:30,362 --> 00:05:35,702
the proceeds of the sale for
the fire station were allocated

87
00:05:35,702 --> 00:05:39,572
to Baxter's Park with 130,000
reserved to do the lighting

88
00:05:39,572 --> 00:05:40,532
at the Harmon Court.

89
00:05:40,532 --> 00:05:46,082
And as Harmon Park Tennis Court
project So as we're nearing

90
00:05:46,082 --> 00:05:49,742
completion of that, we're
anticipating about $29,000

91
00:05:49,742 --> 00:05:53,042
in savings Out of that 130.

92
00:05:53,042 --> 00:05:59,732
And the landscaping part
which is where the park hits

93
00:05:59,732 --> 00:06:04,292
the sidewalk, there's a
significant difference

94
00:06:04,292 --> 00:06:07,832
in elevation between the
existing grass We need

95
00:06:07,832 --> 00:06:09,512
to redo the sprinkler
system and do all

96
00:06:09,512 --> 00:06:11,372
those things that I
think originally parks

97
00:06:11,372 --> 00:06:13,772
had planned to try to do that.

98
00:06:13,772 --> 00:06:16,742
The amount of work that's
going to require They

99
00:06:16,742 --> 00:06:19,592
don't have the bandwidth
to get to it right now.

100
00:06:19,592 --> 00:06:21,842
And so i went and
got an estimate

101
00:06:21,842 --> 00:06:24,362
to see what it would take
to bring a contractor in

102
00:06:24,362 --> 00:06:25,922
to finish the project.

103
00:06:25,922 --> 00:06:29,372
I'm the savings would
certainly cover that.

104
00:06:29,372 --> 00:06:31,430
And then any additional savings.

105
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:34,442
We have from that,
we would allocate

106
00:06:34,442 --> 00:06:35,723
to the little bit of savings.

107
00:06:35,723 --> 00:06:39,362
We have off of the court project
to buy the benches to put around

108
00:06:39,362 --> 00:06:41,976
the tennis courts
and pickleball courts

109
00:06:41,976 --> 00:06:46,832
So that's what the request is
Do you have any questions ?

110
00:06:46,832 --> 00:06:51,414
Sherry vomer i don't
have any questions,

111
00:06:51,414 --> 00:06:52,892
I'm ready to make
a motion, but I'm

112
00:06:52,892 --> 00:06:54,752
really happy to see
that Harmon Park

113
00:06:54,752 --> 00:06:58,004
is getting the new things done.

114
00:06:58,004 --> 00:07:00,812
I went by and saw a lot of
that work that's being done

115
00:07:00,812 --> 00:07:01,873
and it's great.

116
00:07:01,873 --> 00:07:05,102
It must have lights Park So
the lights are almost done.

117
00:07:05,102 --> 00:07:07,129
I noticed on Friday
they were up.

118
00:07:07,129 --> 00:07:09,185
And so there i think
they're about done too.

119
00:07:09,185 --> 00:07:12,512
So it's it's good, I think.

120
00:07:12,512 --> 00:07:17,132
Go ahead, Sherry So I will move
to use the savings from harmon

121
00:07:17,132 --> 00:07:19,772
Park Court lighting project
to finish the landscaping

122
00:07:19,772 --> 00:07:21,482
and purchase benches.

123
00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:26,732
Chris Reid i'll second have a
motion and a Second to approve

124
00:07:26,732 --> 00:07:29,282
the request to use the
savings from Harmon Park Court

125
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:32,882
lighting project to finish the
landscape and purchase benches.

126
00:07:32,882 --> 00:07:35,102
Any further discussion ?

127
00:07:35,102 --> 00:07:35,912

Grayson Stone Yes

00:07:46,022 --> 00:07:48,842
Pierce Yes Chris Reid Yes.

133
00:07:48,842 --> 00:07:51,572
Kate Motion carries 720.

134
00:07:51,572 --> 00:07:54,026
Wendy looks like you've
got the next one as well.

135
00:07:54,026 --> 00:07:54,628
I do.

136
00:07:54,628 --> 00:07:56,282
I'm parked here for
a minute but this one

137
00:07:56,282 --> 00:08:00,842
is a item of consideration
to consider a request

138
00:08:00,842 --> 00:08:03,692
to approve the amendment to
the memorandum of understanding

139
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:06,038
between the Idaho State
Department of Agriculture year

140
00:08:06,038 --> 00:08:09,542
and the City of Twin Falls, and
authorize the mayor to sign it.

141
00:08:09,542 --> 00:08:15,452
Thank you so in April
of 2025, we entered it.

142
00:08:15,452 --> 00:08:18,332
We had a memorandum
of understanding

143
00:08:18,332 --> 00:08:22,172
for the use of that space
to do the hot wash stations.

144
00:08:22,172 --> 00:08:26,463
It also outlined the
reimbursable bowl project piece

145
00:08:26,463 --> 00:08:31,082
and the state's commitment
to reimbursing the city

146
00:08:31,082 --> 00:08:34,412
for any improvements
that we make down there

147
00:08:34,412 --> 00:08:36,902
as part of their wash station.

148
00:08:36,902 --> 00:08:39,002
And then the future
use of the space

149
00:08:39,002 --> 00:08:46,562
and when we allocated the
fire funds in five uary,

150
00:08:46,562 --> 00:08:49,892
I still didn't have
an updated mOU.

151
00:08:49,892 --> 00:08:55,530
So this amendment has taken
a little while to get,

152
00:08:55,530 --> 00:08:58,169
but we're finally, there
and it just really extends

153
00:08:58,169 --> 00:08:59,202
it through the end of the year.

154
00:08:59,202 --> 00:09:03,542
So if i'm lucky, we'll be
able to get this work done

155
00:09:03,542 --> 00:09:05,072
and get it taken care of.

156
00:09:05,072 --> 00:09:07,647
But I don't see them going
anywhere for a while.

157
00:09:07,647 --> 00:09:09,782
So I think we'll see
this MOU coming again.

158
00:09:09,782 --> 00:09:14,312
But hopefully we can have the
wording in it in such a way that

159
00:09:14,312 --> 00:09:17,312
makes everybody happy So the
next time it'll be super easy

160
00:09:17,312 --> 00:09:21,392
But tonight it's simply
just the approval of the MOU

161
00:09:21,392 --> 00:09:24,332
and knowing that the
funds we allocated

162
00:09:24,332 --> 00:09:27,542
in February if I don't get
that under contract I'll

163
00:09:27,542 --> 00:09:29,192
be back in October.

164
00:09:29,192 --> 00:09:32,072
So to reallocate
some of those funds

165
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:35,074
to do the rest of that work
down there at the boat launch.

166
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:42,392
So know the questions for
Wendy Bruce Pierce i'm

167
00:09:42,392 --> 00:09:46,982
happy to make a motion and
go ahead, move We approve

168
00:09:46,982 --> 00:09:50,432

memorandum of understanding

00:09:50,432 --> 00:09:52,682
between the I'll state
department of Agriculture

170
00:09:52,682 --> 00:09:56,909
and the city of Twin Falls, and
authorize the mayor to sign it.

171
00:09:56,909 --> 00:09:59,102
Craig Hawkins second,

172
00:09:59,102 --> 00:10:00,842

Thank you Thank you Okay.

191
00:10:29,822 --> 00:10:32,942
That brings us to our last
item of consideration tonight

192
00:10:32,942 --> 00:10:35,912
and that is a request to award
a contract tonight for every

193
00:10:35,912 --> 00:10:43,412
corporation in the amount of
1,360,700 and $787 and authorize

194
00:10:43,412 --> 00:10:48,932
the mayor to sign it sign the
f f ACA about screwed up again.

195
00:10:48,932 --> 00:10:53,207
FAA Grant Applicant nation
and con contract for Terminal

196
00:10:53,207 --> 00:10:58,412
Access improvements Thank you.

197
00:10:58,412 --> 00:11:00,932
Yeah, I even wore a
different color jacket today

198
00:11:00,932 --> 00:11:03,782
to try to help
with that confusion

199
00:11:03,782 --> 00:11:05,672
and help me figure out Right.

200
00:11:05,672 --> 00:11:07,022
Yeah.

201
00:11:07,022 --> 00:11:11,312
Good evening Mayor and council
Tonight I'm here for, to ask you

202
00:11:11,312 --> 00:11:15,362
to consider the request or
word knife River Corporation

203
00:11:15,362 --> 00:11:19,232
in the amount to it in into
a contract for the amount

204
00:11:19,232 --> 00:11:27,332
of $1,306,787 for the terminal
access Improvement Project

205
00:11:27,332 --> 00:11:31,592
Hopefully you see now on your
screens the graphic that helps

206
00:11:31,592 --> 00:11:34,682
show the scope of this work.

207
00:11:34,682 --> 00:11:39,212
This work is going to
repave the airport loop.

208
00:11:39,212 --> 00:11:39,722
Thank you.

209
00:11:39,722 --> 00:11:43,532
Sorry i so the you
can see that we're

210
00:11:43,532 --> 00:11:46,532
going to repave airport loop,
which is the main access

211
00:11:46,532 --> 00:11:48,062
into the terminal.

212
00:11:48,062 --> 00:11:52,682
We're also going to
address the sidewalks that

213
00:11:52,682 --> 00:11:55,742
are in mostly
short term in order

214
00:11:55,742 --> 00:11:59,402
to fix some ADA compliance
issues that we have.

215
00:11:59,402 --> 00:12:03,932
And it will also address
some of the aDA ramp access

216
00:12:03,932 --> 00:12:07,082
onto sidewalks out
into long term.

217
00:12:07,082 --> 00:12:11,012
The whole idea here is to make
it easier for our customers

218
00:12:11,012 --> 00:12:13,202
to access the terminal
building and make it

219
00:12:13,202 --> 00:12:18,032
a safer, more reliable
experience for them coming in.

220
00:12:18,032 --> 00:12:21,152
In addition, we're going
to replace the sewer

221
00:12:21,152 --> 00:12:23,042
line and the water
line that comes

222
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:28,232
into the terminal on the west
side of the terminal building.

223
00:12:28,232 --> 00:12:31,412
So will improved that while
we have the pavement torn up

224
00:12:31,412 --> 00:12:37,712
and working in that area
in front of the terminal

225
00:12:37,712 --> 00:12:42,542
So this process, did go through
a public bid process at bid

226
00:12:42,542 --> 00:12:45,062
opening, we had
five different bids

227
00:12:45,062 --> 00:12:48,722
and p C was initially
we identified

228
00:12:48,722 --> 00:12:51,002
as the apparent low bid.

229
00:12:51,002 --> 00:12:54,602
Once we went through,
the FAA mandated process

230
00:12:54,602 --> 00:12:58,322
to vet those bids and make
sure that all of the rules

231
00:12:58,322 --> 00:13:02,222
were followed we discovered
that there were some errors

232
00:13:02,222 --> 00:13:08,072
and omissions that made the pBC
bid non responsive In addition,

233
00:13:08,072 --> 00:13:12,782
it's important to note that we
found out that the bid schedule

234
00:13:12,782 --> 00:13:15,932
number two, which was an
additive alternate that would

235
00:13:15,932 --> 00:13:18,602
have allowed us to put heated
sidewalks in the terminal

236
00:13:18,602 --> 00:13:23,882
front just to help with customer
safety during the wintertime

237
00:13:23,882 --> 00:13:26,792
was not eligible for
the FAA grant money

238
00:13:26,792 --> 00:13:28,352
that we were seeking
at this time.

239
00:13:28,352 --> 00:13:32,285
So staff chose to remove that.

240
00:13:32,285 --> 00:13:35,342
And it was no longer
in incineration.

241
00:13:35,342 --> 00:13:38,702
But all the bids
that were responsive

242
00:13:38,702 --> 00:13:45,448
were being judged based on bid
schedule number one After we

243
00:13:45,448 --> 00:13:46,691
go through that process.

244
00:13:46,691 --> 00:13:50,942
It was then apparent that knife
river was the apparent low bid

245
00:13:50,942 --> 00:13:56,042
or the actual low bid when only
considering schedule adoption

246
00:13:56,042 --> 00:14:05,342
number one So
moving forward it's

247
00:14:05,342 --> 00:14:09,542
also important to note that
this entire process used FAA

248
00:14:09,542 --> 00:14:14,642
regulations to make sure that we
followed all the open bid laws

249
00:14:14,642 --> 00:14:19,952
and public bidding laws and
the city attorney's office

250
00:14:19,952 --> 00:14:24,272
concurred with staff's
recommendation and to award bid

251
00:14:24,272 --> 00:14:29,372
to knife river as the low bid
The contract will be reviewed

252
00:14:29,372 --> 00:14:31,502
by the city attorney's
office before it's given

253
00:14:31,502 --> 00:14:35,822
to the mayor for signature And
this process or this project

254
00:14:35,822 --> 00:14:38,102
won't proceed unless
fAA grant funding is

255
00:14:38,102 --> 00:14:45,272
secured So in conclusion,

256
00:14:45,272 --> 00:14:53,432
staff recommends that staff
recommends awarding the contract

257
00:14:53,432 --> 00:14:55,382
to knife River
Corporation in the amount

258
00:14:55,382 --> 00:15:04,022
of $1,306,000 and $781,306,787.

259
00:15:04,022 --> 00:15:06,122
And authorize the mayor
to sign the contract

260
00:15:06,122 --> 00:15:09,483
and grant application And
I'll stand for any questions.

261
00:15:09,483 --> 00:15:12,272
Chris Yeah, a couple
quick questions.

262
00:15:12,272 --> 00:15:15,699
First, do we know
what time frame.

263
00:15:15,699 --> 00:15:20,342
I know that this is we still
have some things to take

264
00:15:20,342 --> 00:15:21,992
care of, but when are
we looking at having

265
00:15:21,992 --> 00:15:23,372
this construction done?

266
00:15:23,372 --> 00:15:26,222
We're hoping to begin
construction and complete it

267
00:15:26,222 --> 00:15:29,282
next year, Next fiscal year,
most likely in the spring,

268
00:15:29,282 --> 00:15:30,684
early summer OK.

269
00:15:30,684 --> 00:15:32,642
Here is what we're
targeting Obviously,

270
00:15:32,642 --> 00:15:35,282
we got to get through
a few other processes

271
00:15:35,282 --> 00:15:39,422
and make sure timing works for
stakeholders in the terminal

272
00:15:39,422 --> 00:15:41,022
and for the contractor.

273
00:15:41,022 --> 00:15:41,522
Right.

274
00:15:41,522 --> 00:15:44,972
And as far as the
contract and making sure

275
00:15:44,972 --> 00:15:48,902
the airport will always be
accessible during construction.

276
00:15:48,902 --> 00:15:54,122
Great question that is
part of the bid schedule.

277
00:15:54,122 --> 00:15:57,362
We will make sure that
we continue to operate.

278
00:15:57,362 --> 00:15:59,282
There will be some
slight inconvenience

279
00:15:59,282 --> 00:16:01,562
just because we'll reroute
passengers that are coming

280
00:16:01,562 --> 00:16:03,062
in and leaving the terminal.

281
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:06,481
But we aren't anticipating
closing Perfect.

282
00:16:06,481 --> 00:16:08,913
Thank you, Jason.

283
00:16:08,913 --> 00:16:11,042

discussion questions.

OK Go ahead, Jason.

288
00:16:18,452 --> 00:16:21,332

Motion carries 720 Okay.

308
00:17:18,242 --> 00:17:24,185
That brings us to our
item on the agenda for

309
00:17:24,185 --> 00:17:26,882
public, general public input.

310
00:17:26,882 --> 00:17:30,302
As we have the last
couple of little while,

311
00:17:30,302 --> 00:17:31,923
please make sure you sign in.

312
00:17:31,923 --> 00:17:34,922
We'll use that same sign in
sheet for our public hearings

313
00:17:34,922 --> 00:17:36,122
here later in the meeting.

314
00:17:36,122 --> 00:17:40,652
So this general public
input will be regarding

315
00:17:40,652 --> 00:17:45,182
any general city business So if
you're here to talk about budget

316
00:17:45,182 --> 00:17:48,902
we will have our public
hearing later in this evening

317
00:17:48,902 --> 00:17:58,592
But this would just be general
public input at this time

318
00:17:58,592 --> 00:18:00,543
And again, it'll be
the same for both.

319
00:18:00,543 --> 00:18:04,142
So I can outline a little bit,
but I'll go over that as well.

320
00:18:04,142 --> 00:18:07,895
So make sure you fill out this
sign up sheet when You come

321
00:18:07,895 --> 00:18:10,832
to address the council, please
make sure you state your name

322
00:18:10,832 --> 00:18:13,922
and you'll have two minutes
to address the council

323
00:18:13,922 --> 00:18:22,562
on those items that you
like to discuss Amy,

324
00:18:22,562 --> 00:18:25,352
is there anyone for I know
you're you just got it.

325
00:18:25,352 --> 00:18:30,272
So you Yes, I have a
couple on here Okay.

326
00:18:30,272 --> 00:19:18,662
First one is Maria
Hernandez My name is

327
00:19:18,662 --> 00:19:20,372
Maria Hernandez I
was born and raised

328
00:19:20,372 --> 00:19:22,712
here in Twin falls, Idaho.

329
00:19:22,712 --> 00:19:24,842
Proud champion, follower
of chief Standing Bear,

330
00:19:24,842 --> 00:19:27,662
the Park Indian tribe,
Multiple proud champion,

331
00:19:27,662 --> 00:19:32,162
follower of Culver's culver's
restaurant on Pole Line Road.

332
00:19:32,162 --> 00:19:34,052
Twin Falls, Idaho.

333
00:19:34,052 --> 00:19:36,602
The reason why I'm a proud
champion follower of Culver's

334
00:19:36,602 --> 00:19:40,172
restaurant is because they are
taking in 100% of their proceeds

335
00:19:40,172 --> 00:19:43,172
today that their
restaurant makes to the ten

336
00:19:43,172 --> 00:19:47,132
victims of in and out for
the unforeseen tragedies that

337
00:19:47,132 --> 00:19:50,522
occurred on August 1 in
our beautiful community

338
00:19:50,522 --> 00:19:52,172
When I heard what
Culver's did, I

339
00:19:52,172 --> 00:19:54,122
immediately did everything
I could to print

340
00:19:54,122 --> 00:19:56,402
flyers to hand out downtown.

341
00:19:56,402 --> 00:20:00,242
This past Saturday, I asked
Pastor Lynn Schaller of Amazing

342
00:20:00,242 --> 00:20:02,856
Grace Fellowship
can you announce

343
00:20:02,856 --> 00:20:06,239
this message to everyone at
the City Park at the Gathering

344
00:20:06,239 --> 00:20:07,346
this Friday.

345
00:20:07,346 --> 00:20:09,512
So the community
can band together

346
00:20:09,512 --> 00:20:14,702
to help You see, I believe in
unity Unity makes a difference.

347
00:20:14,702 --> 00:20:16,982
Unity brings people together.

348
00:20:16,982 --> 00:20:18,062
Unity makes a dream.

349
00:20:18,062 --> 00:20:19,532
Work.

350
00:20:19,532 --> 00:20:21,842
I think you're good.

351
00:20:21,842 --> 00:20:25,592
What if this were to happen
to me in this tragedy

352
00:20:25,592 --> 00:20:27,812
that I did not ask for?

353
00:20:27,812 --> 00:20:35,912
I would want help I would
welcome help Ashley Garibay born

354
00:20:35,912 --> 00:20:43,242
November 6th, 2000, to
contrast August 1, 20 26,

355
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:46,802
when May you rest in peace I
would like to challenge every

356
00:20:46,802 --> 00:20:49,772
church, every restaurant,
every business in Twin Falls,

357
00:20:49,772 --> 00:20:53,912
Idaho, to unify together and
do what covers restaurant.

358
00:20:53,912 --> 00:21:02,102
Did unity makes a difference
Sometimes tears our prayers Mine

359
00:21:02,102 --> 00:21:11,912
are today about
30s Maria Thank you

360
00:21:11,912 --> 00:21:13,562
Sorry to interrupt
you, but I was

361
00:21:13,562 --> 00:21:15,362
watching it just so you didn't.

362
00:21:15,362 --> 00:21:20,972
You knew what was going
on I wasn't Not sure why

363
00:21:20,972 --> 00:21:22,382
that's not showing up on there.

364
00:21:22,382 --> 00:21:24,242
But we're going to try it again.

365
00:21:24,242 --> 00:21:47,972
Our next one is
Sandy King Thank you

366
00:21:47,972 --> 00:21:51,002
And I appreciate your taking
testimony I'm here to talk

367
00:21:51,002 --> 00:21:55,592
about the flock cameras.

368
00:21:55,592 --> 00:21:58,772
I have several family members
that are in law enforcement

369
00:21:58,772 --> 00:22:02,582
and usually the first
instinct is to say,

370
00:22:02,582 --> 00:22:04,562
hey, that's great
because you can identify,

371
00:22:04,562 --> 00:22:10,412
just like with the in
and out incident everyone

372
00:22:10,412 --> 00:22:13,172
was able to see what
went on and how tragic

373
00:22:13,172 --> 00:22:15,662
it was, but also who it was.

374
00:22:15,662 --> 00:22:21,002
Um, however are we give up our
personal freedoms every day

375
00:22:21,002 --> 00:22:24,392
in this country always
for good intentions

376
00:22:24,392 --> 00:22:26,912
or appearing to be
good intentions.

377
00:22:26,912 --> 00:22:31,862
I do not believe the flock
cameras are good intention.

378
00:22:31,862 --> 00:22:34,772
One of the family members
that is in law enforcement

379
00:22:34,772 --> 00:22:35,972
or was in law enforcement.

380
00:22:35,972 --> 00:22:40,892
I did quite a bit of research
on the internet and, you know,

381
00:22:40,892 --> 00:22:42,002
some things on the Internet.

382
00:22:42,002 --> 00:22:46,712
I right in some
orange But this seemed

383
00:22:46,712 --> 00:22:48,332
to be pretty well documented.

384
00:22:48,332 --> 00:22:53,942
It was by news reporters who
were testing and contacting

385
00:22:53,942 --> 00:22:57,752
different locations You
have two handouts that I

386
00:22:57,752 --> 00:23:03,002
provided and there is some
pretty shocking information

387
00:23:03,002 --> 00:23:06,182
and evidence that these cameras
are not with you're supposed

388
00:23:06,182 --> 00:23:11,342
to be a lot of the information
that is being gathered is more

389
00:23:11,342 --> 00:23:14,822
than just the name of a plate
and the name of the owner

390
00:23:14,822 --> 00:23:16,472
It's your Social
Security number.

391
00:23:16,472 --> 00:23:17,432
It's family.

392
00:23:17,432 --> 00:23:22,862
It's if your car is traveling
in the same area every day

393
00:23:22,862 --> 00:23:28,022
and you are near another
car within a time frame,

394
00:23:28,022 --> 00:23:32,072
you can easily be targeted it
through these flock cameras

395
00:23:32,072 --> 00:23:33,602
because it's all a lie.

396
00:23:33,602 --> 00:23:35,822
And they'll say, well, you
were here with this person

397
00:23:35,822 --> 00:23:37,202
and this person
committed a crime,

398
00:23:37,202 --> 00:23:38,972
or they believe they
committed a crime

399
00:23:38,972 --> 00:23:41,222
and you get sucked into that.

400
00:23:41,222 --> 00:23:43,442
So and it gets worse.

401
00:23:43,442 --> 00:23:48,368
So i would please ask you to
read through these decipher

402
00:23:48,368 --> 00:23:50,911
how you choose to
just appreciate it.

403
00:23:50,911 --> 00:23:52,636
And can I say one last thing?

404
00:23:52,636 --> 00:23:54,127
No, you're 2 minutes is up.

405
00:23:54,127 --> 00:23:55,848
Thank you very
much Appreciate it.

406
00:23:55,848 --> 00:23:58,213
But we did receive we
did receive your handout.

407
00:23:58,213 --> 00:23:58,922
Thank you.

408
00:23:58,922 --> 00:24:02,222
You.

409
00:24:02,222 --> 00:24:05,582
Is there any other general
public input A couple more.

410
00:24:05,582 --> 00:24:18,512
Jeff Nelson Only a
few talking points.

411
00:24:18,512 --> 00:24:20,762
My name is Jeffrey,
Nelson First,

412
00:24:20,762 --> 00:24:25,322
my condolences to the people
in and out who passed away.

413
00:24:25,322 --> 00:24:29,942
But why wasn't like
there to save us?

414
00:24:29,942 --> 00:24:33,512
It's flock safety right Why?

415
00:24:33,512 --> 00:24:40,172
Because it's flock
surveillance The chief talked

416
00:24:40,172 --> 00:24:44,672
about in a previous meeting
about getting a drone

417
00:24:44,672 --> 00:24:47,312
You can be there in 45 seconds.

418
00:24:47,312 --> 00:24:48,842
While we do that mean
to pretty soon we're

419
00:24:48,842 --> 00:24:52,262
going to put a taser on
the drone to stop the crime

420
00:24:52,262 --> 00:24:59,402
or get on the drone
to stop the crime

421
00:24:59,402 --> 00:25:02,535
We've created the
false God with they.

422
00:25:02,535 --> 00:25:10,682
I I don't know how many
Christians, we have up here

423
00:25:10,682 --> 00:25:13,562
Revelations tells
us how it ends,

424
00:25:13,562 --> 00:25:18,212
but we don't have to
perpetuate it There's nothing

425
00:25:18,212 --> 00:25:30,902
we can do to stop evil Don't
be a supporter The greatest

426
00:25:30,902 --> 00:25:34,622
responsibility is to stop
something like this so you don't

427
00:25:34,622 --> 00:25:36,602
have to go home to
your family and kiss

428
00:25:36,602 --> 00:25:41,432
your grandchildren or
your children and say,

429
00:25:41,432 --> 00:25:44,912
I helped with this
son or granddaughter.

430
00:25:44,912 --> 00:25:47,432
This is part of my legacy.

431
00:25:47,432 --> 00:25:51,182
I helped with the flood
cameras Now they're being used

432
00:25:51,182 --> 00:25:55,412
and I pretty soon we know
who knows where it's going

433
00:25:55,412 --> 00:25:57,182
We all know where it's going.

434
00:25:57,182 --> 00:26:00,122
It says so directly Revelations.

435
00:26:00,122 --> 00:26:03,872
If you've read it
what my experience

436
00:26:03,872 --> 00:26:07,952
most people have never read
our book from the beginning

437
00:26:07,952 --> 00:26:09,452
to the end.

438
00:26:09,452 --> 00:26:16,322
I have so anyway, so let's
just use our full FAQ.

439
00:26:16,322 --> 00:26:20,162
You know, I think it's a
travesty Thank you very much.

440
00:26:20,162 --> 00:26:20,822
Thank you.

441
00:26:20,822 --> 00:26:39,602
Thank you And our
last one is Noah Heck

442
00:26:39,602 --> 00:26:40,982
Good evening Mayor and council.

443
00:26:40,982 --> 00:26:41,582
My name is Noah.

444
00:26:41,582 --> 00:26:46,922
Head cameras with Twin Falls
I'm going to give you something

445
00:26:46,922 --> 00:26:48,272
different to chew on today.

446
00:26:48,272 --> 00:26:51,964
I wanted to say thank you for
investing in the escape Ark

447
00:26:51,964 --> 00:26:53,533
at Harmon Park.

448
00:26:53,533 --> 00:26:57,272
And One of the things that I do,
I work from home and I go for

449
00:26:57,272 --> 00:26:58,892
walks throughout the day.

450
00:26:58,892 --> 00:27:02,492
And I. I frequently
walk by that skate park

451
00:27:02,492 --> 00:27:07,562
And it brings a lot of joy to
me to see the youth of our city

452
00:27:07,562 --> 00:27:11,102
having a resource like
that available to them,

453
00:27:11,102 --> 00:27:14,702
that they treat
respectfully, that they

454
00:27:14,702 --> 00:27:18,605
treat their fellow participants
respectfully no matter the age.

455
00:27:18,605 --> 00:27:23,642
You've got teenagers who will
be playing with kids who are not

456
00:27:23,642 --> 00:27:26,672
old enough to go to school yet
And the reason that I wanted

457
00:27:26,672 --> 00:27:29,852
to bring this up today
is on my walk today,

458
00:27:29,852 --> 00:27:33,572
I saw that they were finally
putting in the lighting posts

459
00:27:33,572 --> 00:27:36,302
that I know were
approved previously.

460
00:27:36,302 --> 00:27:37,502
I mean, keeping an eye on that.

461
00:27:37,502 --> 00:27:41,153
The Post report today, they
were raising the lamp post.

462
00:27:41,153 --> 00:27:42,602
And I was very
excited to see that.

463
00:27:42,602 --> 00:27:43,892
And I wanted to
say thank you all

464
00:27:43,892 --> 00:27:46,472
for continuing to
invest in recreation

465
00:27:46,472 --> 00:27:48,395
opportunities for the people.

466
00:27:48,395 --> 00:27:48,992
It's windfalls.

467
00:27:48,992 --> 00:28:07,772
Thank you know because that in
and if you didn't, we asked you

468
00:28:07,772 --> 00:28:10,952
to fill out your name
appropriately Is your name John

469
00:28:10,952 --> 00:28:16,592
Hancock So we've been
laying out this procedure

470
00:28:16,592 --> 00:28:19,562
for the last couple
of opportunities.

471
00:28:19,562 --> 00:28:21,876
I won't have no intention
of denying your First

472
00:28:21,876 --> 00:28:23,424
Amendment rights, but if you.

473
00:28:23,424 --> 00:28:27,032
We've asked you to fill out
and we have every obligation

474
00:28:27,032 --> 00:28:30,932
to ask you for your legal
name and to have you identify

475
00:28:30,932 --> 00:28:37,802
yourself okay, That's fine.

476
00:28:37,802 --> 00:28:40,502
But I don't have to
allow you to speak

477
00:28:40,502 --> 00:28:43,832
if you're unwilling to
not follow the procedures

478
00:28:43,832 --> 00:28:45,332
that we have in place.

479
00:28:45,332 --> 00:28:52,202
So you can make that you
can make that decision You

480
00:28:52,202 --> 00:28:54,782
can provide the information that
we've asked you to provide for.

481
00:28:54,782 --> 00:28:57,602
And we've had conversation with
our legal counsel to make sure

482
00:28:57,602 --> 00:29:01,202
that that we are on
legal ground to do so.

483
00:29:01,202 --> 00:29:04,292
So you get to make the choice
whether you want to provide

484
00:29:04,292 --> 00:29:06,512
your legal name and you
have your two minutes,

485
00:29:06,512 --> 00:29:16,652
just like everybody else Yup So
is that it, Amy, for that one.

486
00:29:16,652 --> 00:29:20,144
OK, we'll move into
advisory board reports

487
00:29:20,144 --> 00:29:24,196
The advisory board
reports at this time OK.

488
00:29:24,196 --> 00:29:27,962
So city council or
city manager's office.

489
00:29:27,962 --> 00:29:29,814
And at this time, you'll
hear a lot from me

490
00:29:29,814 --> 00:29:35,762

00:31:10,382 --> 00:31:12,782
and make a closing
statement Staff will then

523
00:31:12,782 --> 00:31:16,712
answer or clarify any comments
as needed After the closing

524
00:31:16,712 --> 00:31:18,873
statement, the public
hearing will be closed

525
00:31:18,873 --> 00:31:21,392
no further testimony
or comments will be

526
00:31:21,392 --> 00:31:22,892
from the applicant or audience.

527
00:31:22,892 --> 00:31:23,852
Will be allowed.

528
00:31:23,852 --> 00:31:27,452
The council will then have an
open discussion and take action.

529
00:31:27,452 --> 00:31:32,588
That will be the procedure
for for the at the three

530
00:31:32,588 --> 00:31:34,080
public hearings that
we have tonight,

531
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,999
we'll start out with
the land use one.

532
00:31:35,999 --> 00:31:37,812
OK Thank you, Mayor.

533
00:31:37,812 --> 00:31:38,552
Council members.

534
00:31:38,552 --> 00:31:39,293
So tonight.

535
00:31:39,293 --> 00:31:43,862
This is a request to amend the
allowed uses in the River Plaza

536
00:31:43,862 --> 00:31:50,556
There are two proposed sorry,
and it is in the r Two zone,

537
00:31:50,556 --> 00:31:53,132
which now is called
town neighborhood one

538
00:31:53,132 --> 00:31:57,242
and an r two zone is intended
for single family and duplex,

539
00:31:57,242 --> 00:31:59,762
but they've also added
the professional office

540
00:31:59,762 --> 00:32:05,522
overlay to the area to give more
business options to this area.

541
00:32:05,522 --> 00:32:09,662
So the p D also has a list
of outright permitted uses

542
00:32:09,662 --> 00:32:12,482
ranging from medical offices
to commercial daycare

543
00:32:12,482 --> 00:32:16,472
to beauty salons uses in the
pro overlay are also allowed

544
00:32:16,472 --> 00:32:18,612
with the special use permit.

545
00:32:18,612 --> 00:32:23,492
Health fitness facility is not
on the current list of outright

546
00:32:23,492 --> 00:32:27,542
permitted uses in the
PD or as a special use

547
00:32:27,542 --> 00:32:29,436
permit in the professional
office overlay.

548
00:32:29,436 --> 00:32:35,492
So that's why we're here
tonight This block is located

549
00:32:35,492 --> 00:32:38,072
between North college
Road and Cheney Drive

550
00:32:38,072 --> 00:32:41,912
and it gives a transition from
residential to commercial uses.

551
00:32:41,912 --> 00:32:43,052
It's right here.

552
00:32:43,052 --> 00:32:46,982
Sorry, Right here
And you can see it

553
00:32:46,982 --> 00:32:48,572
is surrounded by residential.

554
00:32:48,572 --> 00:32:50,942
But we've got Canyon
Ridge High School here

555
00:32:50,942 --> 00:33:11,862
on to the east You go up to.

556
00:33:11,862 --> 00:33:14,958
The uses allowed in the
PUD are intended to serve

557
00:33:14,958 --> 00:33:17,508
the surrounding communities.

558
00:33:17,508 --> 00:33:20,358
Staff believes that a health
fitness facility minor would

559
00:33:20,358 --> 00:33:22,668
be a good fitness
fit in this area

560
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:24,648
as it's designed to
be smaller and sized

561
00:33:24,648 --> 00:33:28,278
to serve the surrounding
community A health fitness

562
00:33:28,278 --> 00:33:33,108
facility minor has an occupant
load of 49 people or less

563
00:33:33,108 --> 00:33:35,588
And so traffic in to
and from the facility

564
00:33:35,588 --> 00:33:37,527
will not overload
the current roadways.

565
00:33:37,527 --> 00:33:38,388
Appreciate it.

566
00:33:38,388 --> 00:33:41,598
Should say that in
2015, a Crossway

567
00:33:41,598 --> 00:33:45,618
Fitness was approved in this
period as a special use permit.

568
00:33:45,618 --> 00:33:49,278
But it was it was approved as
part of a religious facility.

569
00:33:49,278 --> 00:33:54,558
It's so the church was approved
with the sup with the fitness

570
00:33:54,558 --> 00:34:00,888
center as part of their ministry
So the 2016 composite sense

571
00:34:00,888 --> 00:34:03,618
of plan designee meets
is this town neighborhood

572
00:34:03,618 --> 00:34:05,508
which is intended
to support primarily

573
00:34:05,508 --> 00:34:07,068
residential development.

574
00:34:07,068 --> 00:34:10,038
While also accommodating civic
institutional and neighborhood

575
00:34:10,038 --> 00:34:12,438
serving uses to
meet the daily needs

576
00:34:12,438 --> 00:34:14,958
of the surrounding residents.

577
00:34:14,958 --> 00:34:18,588
So all although the underlying
designee portion is residential,

578
00:34:18,588 --> 00:34:21,438
the river hawk Plaza was
intentionally developed

579
00:34:21,438 --> 00:34:24,438
as a professional office park
serving adjacent neighborhoods

580
00:34:24,438 --> 00:34:28,398
through with the
professional office overlay

581
00:34:28,398 --> 00:34:33,828
So the only thing what
we're here for tonight

582
00:34:33,828 --> 00:34:37,308
is this is the amendment.

583
00:34:37,308 --> 00:34:42,468
And what they want to do is
simply to add health fitness

584
00:34:42,468 --> 00:34:46,368
facility minor under
the services section

585
00:34:46,368 --> 00:34:54,228
of the permitted uses in the
D a staff is finds that this

586
00:34:54,228 --> 00:34:57,738
proposed amendment satisfies
the approval for a plan unit

587
00:34:57,738 --> 00:35:01,548
development amendment because
the proposed use will not be

588
00:35:01,548 --> 00:35:03,648
detrimental to
the health safety,

589
00:35:03,648 --> 00:35:06,978
and welfare of the public
The existing streets

590
00:35:06,978 --> 00:35:11,358
and infrastructure can serve
the use its it's compatible with

591
00:35:11,358 --> 00:35:15,228
surrounding land uses and the
use provides for an additional

592
00:35:15,228 --> 00:35:17,808
neighborhood serving service
consistent with the transition

593
00:35:17,808 --> 00:35:21,828
between residential and the
commercial development On July

594
00:35:21,828 --> 00:35:24,768
28th, the planning
and Zoning Commission

595
00:35:24,768 --> 00:35:27,618
approved recommending
this request to City

596
00:35:27,618 --> 00:35:30,108
Council by a vote of 4 to 0.

597
00:35:30,108 --> 00:35:33,738
And so tonight staff recommends
that City Council approves

598
00:35:33,738 --> 00:35:37,068
the proposed PUD amendment
to allow the Health fitness

599
00:35:37,068 --> 00:35:40,278
facility as an
outright permitted

600
00:35:40,278 --> 00:35:42,918
use within the river hoc plaza.

601
00:35:42,918 --> 00:35:45,048
The applicant is here to
get their presentation

602
00:35:45,048 --> 00:35:48,648
and I'm here to
stand for questions.

603
00:35:48,648 --> 00:35:50,508
Any questions for
Kelly at this moment?

604
00:35:50,508 --> 00:35:54,708
Kelly, just when you describe
the difference between a minor

605
00:35:54,708 --> 00:35:55,728
and a major Yes.

606
00:35:55,728 --> 00:35:56,756
Health facility, please.

607
00:35:56,756 --> 00:36:00,198
Yeah, absolutely It's
basically occupancy

608
00:36:00,198 --> 00:36:06,708
So the minor is anywhere from
0 to 49 occupants at one time.

609
00:36:06,708 --> 00:36:08,838
And anything over and
above that turns it

610
00:36:08,838 --> 00:36:11,748
into a major health
fitness facility

611
00:36:11,748 --> 00:36:13,398
And that's more like your gyms.

612
00:36:13,398 --> 00:36:16,408
You know your large gyms like
Planet Fitness and all that.

613
00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:20,358
This would just be a little
neighborhood fitness facility

614
00:36:20,358 --> 00:36:23,418
and could not have more
than 49 occupants at a time.

615
00:36:23,418 --> 00:36:27,078
Thank you Chris.

616
00:36:27,078 --> 00:36:29,478
Trying to remember
2015, I believe.

617
00:36:29,478 --> 00:36:32,538
Did we do extended hours
of operation with that one

618
00:36:32,538 --> 00:36:35,309
as well And did we?

619
00:36:35,309 --> 00:36:38,268
And are we requesting
that as well here?

620
00:36:38,268 --> 00:36:40,342
We're not requesting that here.

621
00:36:40,342 --> 00:36:40,916
OK.

622
00:36:40,916 --> 00:36:44,178
And I don't have the
2015 ACP in front of me.

623
00:36:44,178 --> 00:36:46,068
I don't remember seeing that.

624
00:36:46,068 --> 00:36:47,958
But hang on a second.

625
00:36:47,958 --> 00:36:48,858
It's okay.

626
00:36:48,858 --> 00:36:50,538
I just remember,
folks were there.

627
00:36:50,538 --> 00:36:51,588
I wasn't here then.

628
00:36:51,588 --> 00:36:53,126
I and honestly I
don't remember seeing

629
00:36:53,126 --> 00:36:54,260
that as part of the specialty.

630
00:36:54,260 --> 00:36:54,760
OK.

631
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,518
I meant that was approved
You still got it?

632
00:36:58,518 --> 00:36:59,148
Vaguely.

633
00:36:59,148 --> 00:37:01,369
Remember a decade ago?

634
00:37:01,369 --> 00:37:02,449
Yeah.

635
00:37:02,449 --> 00:37:03,798
Think disappointing did you?

636
00:37:03,798 --> 00:37:05,088
Man, you're young.

637
00:37:05,088 --> 00:37:08,958
What they did was they had a a
controlled locking system where

638
00:37:08,958 --> 00:37:11,868
members of that church had a
key just like most churches do,

639
00:37:11,868 --> 00:37:13,458
to get into the
building They could

640
00:37:13,458 --> 00:37:17,088
use all of the
facilities of the church

641
00:37:17,088 --> 00:37:22,938
OK Any other questions
for the applicant

642
00:37:22,938 --> 00:37:31,108
comes up Okay Thank you.

643
00:37:31,108 --> 00:37:31,608
You.

644
00:37:31,608 --> 00:37:32,868
My name is Gerald Waters.

645
00:37:32,868 --> 00:37:36,528
I've heard this evening
representing this project,

646
00:37:36,528 --> 00:37:41,088
this is the last occupant that
will complete this project.

647
00:37:41,088 --> 00:37:45,648
Some seven buildings, some
12 or 14 various tenants

648
00:37:45,648 --> 00:37:50,118
out there They're all mostly
medical related or physical

649
00:37:50,118 --> 00:37:57,438
therapy related And I had I
known what health fitness minor

650
00:37:57,438 --> 00:38:01,189
was Five years ago, would
have been on the list,

651
00:38:01,189 --> 00:38:02,958
but I didn't know
if it even existed

652
00:38:02,958 --> 00:38:07,638
Did I fall under the
category of medical services

653
00:38:07,638 --> 00:38:10,668
We have read staff report
We concur with staff report

654

of this allowed use.

655

696
00:40:30,618 --> 00:40:33,108
ongoing operations
and maintenance costs

697
00:40:33,108 --> 00:40:40,878
beginning October First, 2026,
and ending September 30th, 2027.

698
00:40:40,878 --> 00:40:43,578
Mr. Mayor and members of
the Council after the public

699
00:40:43,578 --> 00:40:49,968
hearing staff will ask for you
to approve resolution to 026-05.

700
00:40:49,968 --> 00:40:53,568
That's included in
your packet Ultimately,

701
00:40:53,568 --> 00:40:59,598
for your consideration in
2016, the Idaho Legislature

702
00:40:59,598 --> 00:41:04,578
adopted House Bill or
seven 4, and at that place

703
00:41:04,578 --> 00:41:08,808
it began the process
of defining conditions

704
00:41:08,808 --> 00:41:12,318
in which cities can use
or incorporate portions

705
00:41:12,318 --> 00:41:18,108
of its foregone balance
into its budget In the past,

706
00:41:18,108 --> 00:41:23,298
cities had the ability to
collect what would be referred

707
00:41:23,298 --> 00:41:29,868
to as a foregone balance or an
amount that was not necessarily

708
00:41:29,868 --> 00:41:31,968
associate with the 3%.

709
00:41:31,968 --> 00:41:35,928
The new construction
annexation or any allowances

710
00:41:35,928 --> 00:41:39,318
that are provided in Idaho
Code to allow the ability

711
00:41:39,318 --> 00:41:43,578
for the city to collect that
tax And any amount that a city

712
00:41:43,578 --> 00:41:46,158
council or at that
point in time elect

713
00:41:46,158 --> 00:41:50,508
it to forgo it was put in
this fictitious bank account,

714
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:54,271
if you will in which the
city could draw down.

715
00:41:54,271 --> 00:41:59,838
Add a point in time In
2006, we saw several cities

716
00:41:59,838 --> 00:42:01,548
begin a drawdown process.

717
00:42:01,548 --> 00:42:07,098
And then in 2021, as a
part of House bill 389,

718
00:42:07,098 --> 00:42:09,108
there were additional
sideboards that

719
00:42:09,108 --> 00:42:11,928
were placed upon the
use of foregone balance

720
00:42:11,928 --> 00:42:13,908
and the amounts that
could be collected

721
00:42:13,908 --> 00:42:16,646
in any One fiscal year.

722
00:42:16,646 --> 00:42:20,358
Those sideboards
included a 1% or 3%.

723
00:42:20,358 --> 00:42:21,528
Rule.

724
00:42:21,528 --> 00:42:25,248
1% could be incorporated
into the city's budget

725
00:42:25,248 --> 00:42:27,811
to offset the increased
cost associated

726
00:42:27,811 --> 00:42:30,978
with Operation and
maintenance Or the city

727
00:42:30,978 --> 00:42:32,328
could collect up to 3%.

728
00:42:32,328 --> 00:42:34,818
And that 3% would be
have to be dedicated

729
00:42:34,818 --> 00:42:37,518
to one time capital projects.

730
00:42:37,518 --> 00:42:41,482
And once those capital projects
were completed that money,

731
00:42:41,482 --> 00:42:45,468
then would be removed from the
taxation authority of a local

732
00:42:45,468 --> 00:42:51,798
government in compliance
with Idaho Code 63 802 We are

733
00:42:51,798 --> 00:42:55,188
following the process that was
mapped out as a part of House

734
00:42:55,188 --> 00:42:59,028
Bill 389, and in that
process this evening,

735
00:42:59,028 --> 00:43:02,448
it is to ask the City Council
to host a public hearing

736
00:43:02,448 --> 00:43:05,538
for the inclusion of that
foregone balance and then

737
00:43:05,538 --> 00:43:08,568
to adopt a resolution
if you believe that is

738
00:43:08,568 --> 00:43:12,615
in the city's best interest as
part of the case that we've been

739
00:43:12,615 --> 00:43:15,378
making over the course
of the last 12 meetings,

740
00:43:15,378 --> 00:43:17,868
the operational costs for
the city of Twin Falls,

741
00:43:17,868 --> 00:43:24,768
this year exceed $509,900,

742
00:43:24,768 --> 00:43:27,978
which is equal to about
2.1% as all share.

743
00:43:27,978 --> 00:43:30,918
And I've shared with you
in our overall operation

744
00:43:30,918 --> 00:43:31,879
and maintenance budget.

745
00:43:31,879 --> 00:43:39,798
And you you can see where this
342,008 68 would help offset

746
00:43:39,798 --> 00:43:44,628
those increases that we are
experiencing The resolution

747
00:43:44,628 --> 00:43:47,054
outlays that we will
use this to cover

748
00:43:47,054 --> 00:43:48,588
increase to operational costs.

749
00:43:48,588 --> 00:43:52,128
And as we have demonstrated
that since covid,

750
00:43:52,128 --> 00:43:55,548
the operational costs
have continued to grow.

751
00:43:55,548 --> 00:43:57,918
Admittedly at a
much slower rate,

752
00:43:57,918 --> 00:44:00,888
but recover since
those larger increases

753
00:44:00,888 --> 00:44:03,458
where we were seeing
11 and 12% increases

754
00:44:03,458 --> 00:44:10,158
according to the MZI we have
been solely chipping away

755
00:44:10,158 --> 00:44:15,168
at that operational
deficit With that,

756
00:44:15,168 --> 00:44:16,860
I'm happy to stand
for any questions.

757
00:44:16,860 --> 00:44:18,814
And then, Mr. Mayor,
it is required

758
00:44:18,814 --> 00:44:22,038
to have a public hearing
as required by Idaho code.

759
00:44:22,038 --> 00:44:29,298
Any questions for Travis at
this point Travis We'll go ahead

760
00:44:29,298 --> 00:44:34,758
and open the public hearing on
the use of foregone revenues

761
00:44:34,758 --> 00:44:41,358
in the 2026 2027 fiscal
year budget to cover ongoing

762
00:44:41,358 --> 00:44:45,638
operation and maintenance costs
beginning October one, 20 26,

763
00:44:45,638 --> 00:44:48,725
and ending September 30th 2027.

764
00:44:48,725 --> 00:44:50,148
There are anybody
that would like

765
00:44:50,148 --> 00:44:52,428
to address the Council
on the four use

766
00:44:52,428 --> 00:44:59,268
of foregone monies Casey No.

767
00:44:59,268 --> 00:45:03,228
One coming up at this point,
we'll close the public hearing

768
00:45:03,228 --> 00:45:07,248
session on the use of
foregone revenues in this

769
00:45:07,248 --> 00:45:11,028
upcoming fiscal year 27 budget.

770
00:45:11,028 --> 00:45:14,628
Any other input there,
Travis Just two quick things.

771
00:45:14,628 --> 00:45:18,543
Number one, when you adopted
the preliminary budget on August

772
00:45:18,543 --> 00:45:24,528
3rd, as we shared, it did
include that amount to balance

773
00:45:24,528 --> 00:45:27,468
Should you elect to change
from the preliminary budget we

774
00:45:27,468 --> 00:45:35,418
will have to remove $342,868 out
of the general government fund.

775
00:45:35,418 --> 00:45:37,848
The next step in authorizing
would be approval

776
00:45:37,848 --> 00:45:42,708
of Resolution 2020 6-005.

777
00:45:42,708 --> 00:45:51,073
Okay What are Council's
wishes So I'm ready to make.

778
00:45:51,073 --> 00:45:54,318
Okay, Travis, we can go
ahead and move to approve

779
00:45:54,318 --> 00:45:58,668
resolution 2020 6-005.

780
00:45:58,668 --> 00:45:59,758
That correct?

781
00:45:59,758 --> 00:46:00,258
Yes.

782
00:46:00,258 --> 00:46:00,828
Okay.

783
00:46:00,828 --> 00:46:01,888
I make that motion.

784
00:46:01,888 --> 00:46:02,388
Kevin.

785
00:46:02,388 --> 00:46:07,278
Motion to approve resolution
number number 2026.

786
00:46:07,278 --> 00:46:11,208
Dash 005 as printed
in the agenda tonight,

787
00:46:11,208 --> 00:46:15,048
Craig Hawkins i'll second have
a motion and a second to approve

788
00:46:15,048 --> 00:46:18,348
resolution number 2020 6-005.

789
00:46:18,348 --> 00:46:22,038
Any further discussion
by the Council I

790
00:46:22,038 --> 00:46:26,808
just want to clarify even though
the heading says 342 816 it's

791
00:46:26,808 --> 00:46:31,299
342 868 incorrect
in the resolution

792
00:46:31,299 --> 00:46:34,772
in the attachments
it is correct.

793
00:46:34,772 --> 00:46:38,028
Any further discussion,
Amy A roll call vote,

794
00:46:38,028 --> 00:46:42,018
please Harry Bulmer Yes.

795
00:46:42,018 --> 00:46:42,798
Yes.

796
00:46:42,798 --> 00:46:43,968
Read yes.

797
00:46:43,968 --> 00:46:46,608
Craig Hawkins Yes
Jason Brown Yes.

798
00:46:46,608 --> 00:46:47,778
And Murray Yes.

799
00:46:47,778 --> 00:46:49,018
Grayson Stone Yes.

800
00:46:49,018 --> 00:46:49,518
Okay.

801
00:46:49,518 --> 00:46:52,938
Motion carries 720.

802
00:46:52,938 --> 00:46:56,928
That brings us to our last
public hearing for the evening

803
00:46:56,928 --> 00:47:02,688
and that is the final discussion
and public hearing on our budget

804
00:47:02,688 --> 00:47:04,788
discussions that
have been transpired

805
00:47:04,788 --> 00:47:06,228
over the last several weeks.

806
00:47:06,228 --> 00:47:10,758
And we have Travis
Rothwell again

807
00:47:10,758 --> 00:47:12,468
Well, Mr. Mayor and
members of the Council,

808
00:47:12,468 --> 00:47:16,608
I know that this is the time
that you've been waiting for

809
00:47:16,608 --> 00:47:18,498
and watch me then go
back, sit over there

810
00:47:18,498 --> 00:47:21,138
and not have to present
13 weeks in a row,

811
00:47:21,138 --> 00:47:26,148
but really I think the budget,
as you've been able to witness

812
00:47:26,148 --> 00:47:30,888
and go through this process
is a tremendous undertaking

813
00:47:30,888 --> 00:47:34,908
by the members of
the team As we shared

814
00:47:34,908 --> 00:47:36,408
throughout this entire process.

815
00:47:36,408 --> 00:47:41,118
Our budgeting is something
that is not done quickly.

816
00:47:41,118 --> 00:47:45,438
In fact, in order
to be transparent

817
00:47:45,438 --> 00:47:49,518
and to share how resource assets
are intended to be expended

818
00:47:49,518 --> 00:47:53,058
in the budget many
members of the team

819
00:47:53,058 --> 00:47:57,498
came forward with a
particular level of expertise

820
00:47:57,498 --> 00:48:04,308
to share their thoughts to
share their wishes for funding

821
00:48:04,308 --> 00:48:05,898
through the capital.

822
00:48:05,898 --> 00:48:09,558
The Council capital
allocations and then

823
00:48:09,558 --> 00:48:13,128
also to make sure that they
were available to answer

824
00:48:13,128 --> 00:48:17,538
your questions for any other
projects that came up tonight.

825
00:48:17,538 --> 00:48:23,838
Is the culmination of the
last 12 weeks of conversation

826
00:48:23,838 --> 00:48:28,698
And so my intent is to go
through to the budget in

827
00:48:28,698 --> 00:48:32,118
a high in a high level detail.

828
00:48:32,118 --> 00:48:35,478
But the level of thoroughness so
that the general community has

829
00:48:35,478 --> 00:48:39,588
an understanding of how we are
proposing to spend resources

830
00:48:39,588 --> 00:48:46,488
in the upcoming fiscal year,
which begins on October 1st

831
00:48:46,488 --> 00:48:51,828
Admittedly, I will not
be covering all items

832
00:48:51,828 --> 00:48:54,768
for individuals who are
interested in learning more

833
00:48:54,768 --> 00:48:58,428
about what is included in the
budget That budget has been

834
00:48:58,428 --> 00:49:02,256
online since the 7th of July.

835
00:49:02,256 --> 00:49:07,368
And it will remain
on our website

836
00:49:07,368 --> 00:49:09,978
into perpetuity In
addition to that,

837
00:49:09,978 --> 00:49:15,198
I'm happy to share that as you
have been receptive to comments

838
00:49:15,198 --> 00:49:18,708
and questions even
after the budget passes,

839
00:49:18,708 --> 00:49:24,018
because we begin the formation
of the fiscal year 28 budget

840
00:49:24,018 --> 00:49:35,058
in just a few weeks So
with that, Mr. Mayor,

841
00:49:35,058 --> 00:49:37,938
members of the Council
part of the requirement

842
00:49:37,938 --> 00:49:41,778
is to share that the
budget that is before you

843
00:49:41,778 --> 00:49:45,588
and ultimately, the ordinance
that we will ask you to consider

844
00:49:45,588 --> 00:49:48,978
complies with all
elements of the state code

845
00:49:48,978 --> 00:49:56,208
as it relates to municipal
finances We've spent time moving

846
00:49:56,208 --> 00:50:03,318
through those requirements
and I think One of the things

847
00:50:03,318 --> 00:50:07,998
that you just accomplished
was in 63 802,

848
00:50:07,998 --> 00:50:10,218
the public hearing
for the inclusion

849
00:50:10,218 --> 00:50:14,208
of the foregone balance
into this budget.

850
00:50:14,208 --> 00:50:17,388
In addition to that part of
the job description of a city

851
00:50:17,388 --> 00:50:21,588
manager outlines that the city
manager shall keep the Council

852
00:50:21,588 --> 00:50:24,948
fully informed of the
city's financial conditions

853
00:50:24,948 --> 00:50:27,618
and describe its
future needs Our budget

854
00:50:27,618 --> 00:50:29,838
process accomplished just that.

855
00:50:29,838 --> 00:50:33,048
But in addition to that, our
quarterly finance reports that

856
00:50:33,048 --> 00:50:38,388
are provided to the Council by
our Chief Financial Officer,

857
00:50:38,388 --> 00:50:42,228
Brian Howard helps
serve that need

858
00:50:42,228 --> 00:50:47,748
as well So part of that process
and we are about to roll that

859
00:50:47,748 --> 00:50:53,478
out again later in the fall
is our citizen survey It is

860
00:50:53,478 --> 00:50:58,368
our first review in a sense
It's our report card to see how

861
00:50:58,368 --> 00:51:00,858
is the city of Twin
Falls performing

862
00:51:00,858 --> 00:51:03,558
in the eyes of its citizens.

863
00:51:03,558 --> 00:51:06,828
We have two different surveys
as part of that process.

864
00:51:06,828 --> 00:51:10,338
The first process is a
scientist based survey

865
00:51:10,338 --> 00:51:13,758
where individual calls will
receive an invitation often

866
00:51:13,758 --> 00:51:19,128
through a postcard in which
they can expect a paper survey

867
00:51:19,128 --> 00:51:22,368
or they are given a special
code that they can go online

868
00:51:22,368 --> 00:51:24,888
and completed electronically.

869
00:51:24,888 --> 00:51:29,118
Once we complete that
portion of the survey

870
00:51:29,118 --> 00:51:31,398
we open it up for
anyone who would

871
00:51:31,398 --> 00:51:33,498
like to share their thoughts.

872
00:51:33,498 --> 00:51:38,028
So we have a scientific survey
We have a survey that is often

873
00:51:38,028 --> 00:51:40,248
responded to by
interested persons,

874
00:51:40,248 --> 00:51:44,238
and we find that the results
are very, very consistent

875
00:51:44,238 --> 00:51:46,968
and similar.

876
00:51:46,968 --> 00:51:51,622
These are just a few snapshots
of the entirety of the Citizen

877
00:51:51,622 --> 00:51:53,598
survey it goes through.

878
00:51:53,598 --> 00:51:55,878
And in analysis
and ask questions

879
00:51:55,878 --> 00:51:58,338
about the entire
service line that

880
00:51:58,338 --> 00:52:03,078
is offered by the
city of Twin Falls

881
00:52:03,078 --> 00:52:06,738
I'm sure at this point
in time each one of you

882
00:52:06,738 --> 00:52:11,088
could probably share in detail
on employment rates, housing

883
00:52:11,088 --> 00:52:14,628
concerns But really we do
that to share that we take

884
00:52:14,628 --> 00:52:21,318
a sincere and honest look at all
of the economic indicators that

885
00:52:21,318 --> 00:52:24,078
are in affecting families
who reside inside

886
00:52:24,078 --> 00:52:25,638
of the city of Twin Falls.

887
00:52:25,638 --> 00:52:29,478
We want to make sure that we
are aware of how this budget is

888
00:52:29,478 --> 00:52:33,108
going to impact individual
households We also want to know

889
00:52:33,108 --> 00:52:36,318
how those trends are going to
impact the city of Twin Falls

890
00:52:36,318 --> 00:52:39,648
As an organization as we
continue to look to deliver

891
00:52:39,648 --> 00:52:46,038
services we engage
our employees Yes,

892
00:52:46,038 --> 00:52:49,608
it is the city manager's
responsibility to craft

893
00:52:49,608 --> 00:52:55,488
and create a budget But like
all people we have blind spots

894
00:52:55,488 --> 00:52:59,268
and my blind spots have
a level of expertise

895
00:52:59,268 --> 00:53:03,768
that doesn't necessarily lend to
me to understand the full scope

896
00:53:03,768 --> 00:53:05,628
and duties of every
single employee

897
00:53:05,628 --> 00:53:07,908
that we have inside of the city.

898
00:53:07,908 --> 00:53:09,948
And so we invite
them to the table.

899
00:53:09,948 --> 00:53:12,468
We invite them to help
us construct this budget.

900
00:53:12,468 --> 00:53:14,808
And throughout
that entire process

901
00:53:14,808 --> 00:53:18,481
that we started on July 7, you
saw the members of the city's

902
00:53:18,481 --> 00:53:22,068
long term planning team
make presentations to you,

903
00:53:22,068 --> 00:53:26,598
share their expertise and
share why they believe

904
00:53:26,598 --> 00:53:29,898
certain expenditures are
critical in the completion

905
00:53:29,898 --> 00:53:35,058
of our mission and fulfillment
of the city's strategic plan

906
00:53:35,058 --> 00:53:37,998
And then we reach
consensus We have

907
00:53:37,998 --> 00:53:40,698
what's called a core
leadership team in which we

908
00:53:40,698 --> 00:53:42,768
ask all of the members of that.

909
00:53:42,768 --> 00:53:46,409
It's about 60 members in our
organization And to gather

910
00:53:46,409 --> 00:53:49,788
and collectively, we
balance the budget

911
00:53:49,788 --> 00:53:53,538
So yes, it is the city manager's
responsibility to stand here

912
00:53:53,538 --> 00:53:56,358
and presented, but I
do not do it alone.

913
00:53:56,358 --> 00:53:59,358
There are many hands
that help in this process

914
00:53:59,358 --> 00:54:06,108
and they deserve a lot of
credit for the document that

915
00:54:06,108 --> 00:54:12,438
is before you We use
organizational values

916
00:54:12,438 --> 00:54:16,308
as our approaches to make
sure that we are building

917
00:54:16,308 --> 00:54:22,578
a consistent budget that
follows a one city approach

918
00:54:22,578 --> 00:54:24,108
And what does that mean?

919
00:54:24,108 --> 00:54:28,818
A one city approach is really
simple in saying that we do not

920
00:54:28,818 --> 00:54:32,058
operate in silos
We do not operate

921
00:54:32,058 --> 00:54:35,838
as independent department
We work collectively

922
00:54:35,838 --> 00:54:41,388
and collaboratively, and there
are sacrifices made willingly

923
00:54:41,388 --> 00:54:44,298
by some departments in the
interests of other departments

924
00:54:44,298 --> 00:54:47,028
for certain projects
And I believe

925
00:54:47,028 --> 00:54:52,818
it is how all government
should operate

926
00:54:52,818 --> 00:54:55,068
and according to experts,
we're pretty good at what

927
00:54:55,068 --> 00:55:01,428
we do The City of Twin
Falls has received the FOIA

928
00:55:01,428 --> 00:55:03,558
award and the certificate
of Achievement

929
00:55:03,558 --> 00:55:06,768
for Excellence in
Financial reporting

930
00:55:06,768 --> 00:55:10,788
for 14 consecutive years,
which is among the highest

931
00:55:10,788 --> 00:55:14,268
of any city in the state.

932
00:55:14,268 --> 00:55:17,538
But we don't do it for the
awards In fact, when you look

933
00:55:17,538 --> 00:55:19,788
around, you don't see
any of those awards

934
00:55:19,788 --> 00:55:21,708
hanging out in our building.

935
00:55:21,708 --> 00:55:25,158
We do it because it is a model
best practice or a model?

936
00:55:25,158 --> 00:55:27,888
Best practice that
doesn't ask our citizens

937
00:55:27,888 --> 00:55:29,778
to understand a budget.

938
00:55:29,778 --> 00:55:33,798
Merely through a whole
bunch of line items

939
00:55:33,798 --> 00:55:37,968
understanding and a chart of
accounts is not transparency.

940
00:55:37,968 --> 00:55:41,028
What we do is we want to make
sure that the budget document

941
00:55:41,028 --> 00:55:47,748
that we have is understood
by all individuals

942
00:55:47,748 --> 00:55:50,448
So what is the
city of Twin Falls?

943
00:55:50,448 --> 00:55:53,478
The first place that we need
to do is absolutely level set

944
00:55:53,478 --> 00:55:55,878
to make sure that we're all
looking at the city of Twin

945
00:55:55,878 --> 00:55:59,238
Falls through the exact
same lenses What is

946
00:55:59,238 --> 00:56:02,688
the population population
right now is estimated

947
00:56:02,688 --> 00:56:08,988
to be 57,077 individuals.

948
00:56:08,988 --> 00:56:13,398
That's about a 10.17%
growth rate since our census

949
00:56:13,398 --> 00:56:17,628
and is we continue to
follow those trends.

950
00:56:17,628 --> 00:56:20,718
We could have a population
of nearly 65,000

951
00:56:20,718 --> 00:56:22,968
persons who reside
inside of the city

952
00:56:22,968 --> 00:56:27,738
of Twin Falls by the year 2030.

953
00:56:27,738 --> 00:56:32,238
But I think that we also know
that twin falls in serving

954
00:56:32,238 --> 00:56:35,305
as the economic hubs
population expands

955
00:56:35,305 --> 00:56:39,348
well beyond 65,000 persons.

956
00:56:39,348 --> 00:56:43,608
In fact, with 40,000 vehicles
that the brain bridge every

957
00:56:43,608 --> 00:56:48,018
single day We know that our
population can approach about

958
00:56:48,018 --> 00:56:53,598
112,000 plus individuals
on any given monday,

959
00:56:53,598 --> 00:56:57,648
and that excludes those weekends
where we are hosting regional

960
00:56:57,648 --> 00:57:05,058
events We take a look at retail
sales per capita and we are able

961
00:57:05,058 --> 00:57:09,078
to demonstrate that the economic
power of the city of Twin Falls

962
00:57:09,078 --> 00:57:14,178
in terms of retail capital
exceeds $2.1 billion,

963
00:57:14,178 --> 00:57:21,738
in which that equals growth
$38,320 per person based upon

964
00:57:21,738 --> 00:57:26,838
2022 statistics, which is the
most up to date information that

965
00:57:26,838 --> 00:57:30,828
we can point to However, we
also know that the per capita

966
00:57:30,828 --> 00:57:35,868
income in 2024 was $32,338.

967
00:57:35,868 --> 00:57:38,508
There's a bit of
a disparity there

968
00:57:38,508 --> 00:57:41,988
where your per capita
to retail sales

969
00:57:41,988 --> 00:57:45,078
exceeds your per capita income.

970
00:57:45,078 --> 00:57:51,708
And after an investigation,
if you were to cut the per

971
00:57:51,708 --> 00:57:58,068
capita retail sales in half, it
would be slightly over $19,000.

972
00:57:58,068 --> 00:58:04,398
And at $19,000 it begins to fall
much more in line with the major

973
00:58:04,398 --> 00:58:09,228
urban cities that are inside of
the state of Idaho It's just one

974
00:58:09,228 --> 00:58:13,398
of the other indicators
other than crossing things

975
00:58:13,398 --> 00:58:18,258
that we examine to determine how
big is the city of Twin Falls.

976
00:58:18,258 --> 00:58:22,338
And every person who comes
to the city of Twin Falls

977
00:58:22,338 --> 00:58:25,518
has and should have an
expectation of service

978
00:58:25,518 --> 00:58:28,878
delivered, should they need it.

979
00:58:28,878 --> 00:58:31,608
Housing is something
that we talk about

980
00:58:31,608 --> 00:58:33,798
not only in our organization.

981
00:58:33,798 --> 00:58:38,118
But across the
entirety of the state.

982
00:58:38,118 --> 00:58:45,318
May of 26, the estimated median
house in side of the city

983
00:58:45,318 --> 00:58:49,968
of Twin Falls was
373,000. $332 which

984
00:58:49,968 --> 00:58:53,298
is a 60% increase since 2020.

985
00:58:53,298 --> 00:58:59,028
And it is down from what
we saw in June of 22 highs.

986
00:58:59,028 --> 00:59:02,628
However that growth trend,
that trajectory of housing

987
00:59:02,628 --> 00:59:07,398
still makes us one of the more
difficult places in the country

988
00:59:07,398 --> 00:59:12,378
or to obtain homeownership
and then our interest rate

989
00:59:12,378 --> 00:59:19,008
or excuse me, our unemployment
rate we're at 3.6%, 3.6%

990
00:59:19,008 --> 00:59:22,458
is what most economists
would describe

991
00:59:22,458 --> 00:59:25,368
beyond fully employed
Most economists would

992
00:59:25,368 --> 00:59:27,498
describe that at four and 5%.

993
00:59:27,498 --> 00:59:31,488
And with that information
and we know that the labor

994
00:59:31,488 --> 00:59:33,858
market remains tight.

995
00:59:33,858 --> 00:59:35,808
And so these are just
some of those factors

996
00:59:35,808 --> 00:59:40,938
that we take into account when
we're building our budget.

997
00:59:40,938 --> 00:59:44,544
And we want to make sure that
we're checking off the eight

998
00:59:44,544 --> 00:59:48,828
excuse me, the six overarching
strategies that we have,

999
00:59:48,828 --> 00:59:50,658
we want to make
sure it's stable,

1000
00:59:50,658 --> 00:59:53,376
sustainable bold, and nimble.

1001
00:59:53,376 --> 00:59:56,988
And I can confirm to you that
as we go through this process

1002
00:59:56,988 --> 00:59:59,598
and part of the long
term planning process

1003
00:59:59,598 --> 01:00:02,388
it's not designed to
budget in the single year,

1004
01:00:02,388 --> 01:00:05,538
but it's really designed
to forecast our costs Five

1005
01:00:05,538 --> 01:00:09,138
years from now, we want to
make sure that any new higher

1006
01:00:09,138 --> 01:00:12,948
any program or service
change has the ability

1007
01:00:12,948 --> 01:00:18,138
to be funded long term
This is not a one year

1008
01:00:18,138 --> 01:00:22,308
and done process for us I
shared that we want to build

1009
01:00:22,308 --> 01:00:24,288
a budget that is
sensitive to our operating

1010
01:00:24,288 --> 01:00:30,528
environment We tie everything to
our current 2030 strategic plan.

1011
01:00:30,528 --> 01:00:32,825
But as we've shared with
you on numerous occasions.

1012
01:00:32,825 --> 01:00:36,198
And as you are aware, we're
in the final, final stages

1013
01:00:36,198 --> 01:00:40,968
of creating the 2040 City
Strategic Plan We're expanding

1014
01:00:40,968 --> 01:00:46,938
that goal post ten years because
when we started in 2012 18

1015
01:00:46,938 --> 01:00:49,908
years seemed like a good time.

1016
01:00:49,908 --> 01:00:55,938
And now it's 2026, about to
enter 2027 and three years was

1017
01:00:55,938 --> 01:01:00,108
not a long enough runway to
continue to help and create

1018
01:01:00,108 --> 01:01:04,308
and realize the community that
our citizens who have engaged

1019
01:01:04,308 --> 01:01:09,228
in that process want us
to become We strive to be

1020
01:01:09,228 --> 01:01:14,058
the employer of choice We
have said on many occasions

1021
01:01:14,058 --> 01:01:19,218
that the services that we
deliver are through quality.

1022
01:01:19,218 --> 01:01:21,055
I talented individuals.

1023
01:01:21,055 --> 01:01:27,228
And it is those individuals that
really help create the service

1024
01:01:27,228 --> 01:01:32,208
levels for our community
It is this budget includes

1025
01:01:32,208 --> 01:01:36,228
the statutory allowed
3% increase the 90%

1026
01:01:36,228 --> 01:01:39,618
of the new construction
value and 1% of the city's

1027
01:01:39,618 --> 01:01:42,798
foregone balance
And we minimized

1028
01:01:42,798 --> 01:01:47,118
all utility rate increases
to make sure that we complied

1029
01:01:47,118 --> 01:01:52,578
with bond covenants but also had
the ability to create revenue

1030
01:01:52,578 --> 01:02:00,306
streams that didn't create
shock increases in the future

1031
01:02:00,306 --> 01:02:03,138
this is the slide where a
lot of people want to know

1032
01:02:03,138 --> 01:02:08,268
and that is what is going to
cost me in Twin Falls this year

1033
01:02:08,268 --> 01:02:12,018
or next year in comparison to
this year under this budget

1034
01:02:12,018 --> 01:02:13,428
and as I've shared with you,

1035
01:02:13,428 --> 01:02:16,848
this slide is wrong
One of the reasons

1036
01:02:16,848 --> 01:02:19,608
or could be wrong
one of the reasons

1037
01:02:19,608 --> 01:02:23,625
that this could be wrong is
because in My 26 years of doing

1038
01:02:23,625 --> 01:02:27,228
this, I have yet to find that
median person, the person who

1039
01:02:27,228 --> 01:02:30,678
lives in the median home, who
consumes the median amount

1040
01:02:30,678 --> 01:02:37,638
of water and sewer We use
this as an illustration

1041
01:02:37,638 --> 01:02:41,058
and it hopes to have a
good understanding of what

1042
01:02:41,058 --> 01:02:47,208
the totality of the budget has
on the whole, the second is,

1043
01:02:47,208 --> 01:02:48,682
as we shared with you.

1044
01:02:48,682 --> 01:02:53,238
And as you are aware, we are
finalizing our negotiations

1045
01:02:53,238 --> 01:02:56,418
with PSA as we move forward.

1046
01:02:56,418 --> 01:03:00,108
And we can confirm that
the most expensive option

1047
01:03:00,108 --> 01:03:03,588
on the table based upon the
renewal of that agreement

1048
01:03:03,588 --> 01:03:06,708
is $12.32.

1049
01:03:06,708 --> 01:03:11,238
And the council will have future
decisions to make to determine

1050
01:03:11,238 --> 01:03:14,598
whether or not that
1232 remains intact

1051
01:03:14,598 --> 01:03:18,648
or if that amount is lowered
But that is a conversation

1052
01:03:18,648 --> 01:03:25,758
for a future day Again, here are
some of the economic indicators

1053
01:03:25,758 --> 01:03:29,898
that we spend time looking
at Municipal cost Index

1054
01:03:29,898 --> 01:03:33,228
The fact that we continue
to have a slight labor

1055
01:03:33,228 --> 01:03:37,608
shortage in the state of
Idaho, where for every 100 jobs

1056
01:03:37,608 --> 01:03:45,288
there are 97 qualified laborers
where our housing market, which

1057
01:03:45,288 --> 01:03:49,368
is the three colored
wavy line graph,

1058
01:03:49,368 --> 01:03:53,748
represents the Treasure
Valley the state of Idaho,

1059
01:03:53,748 --> 01:03:55,188
and twin Falls.

1060
01:03:55,188 --> 01:03:59,898
Is that in that golden
rod color and the bottom

1061
01:03:59,898 --> 01:04:05,478
is comparison of the median
income and the need of

1062
01:04:05,478 --> 01:04:08,988
and the amount that is
needed for a median income

1063
01:04:08,988 --> 01:04:11,388
to achieve a median
home in Twin Falls.

1064
01:04:11,388 --> 01:04:19,068
And as we have shared we ranked
Fourth out of 1898 counties

1065
01:04:19,068 --> 01:04:28,758
surveyed in this case
Fourth isn't good So diving

1066
01:04:28,758 --> 01:04:33,138
into the budget the total
taxable value of the city

1067
01:04:33,138 --> 01:04:38,713
of Twin Falls, you can see,
has increased from 6.4 billion

1068
01:04:38,713 --> 01:04:40,398
to 6.7.

1069
01:04:40,398 --> 01:04:43,188
Nearly $6.8 billion.

1070
01:04:43,188 --> 01:04:47,538
Our total expenses in this
budget are up slightly

1071
01:04:47,538 --> 01:04:51,408
and collectively, you can
see that the net expense

1072
01:04:51,408 --> 01:04:53,328
losses are what we focus on.

1073
01:04:53,328 --> 01:04:58,908
The variance between the total
expenses and the net expenses

1074
01:04:58,908 --> 01:05:01,788
as we've shared, has to
do with the transfers

1075
01:05:01,788 --> 01:05:04,908
from the enterprise fund
to the tax supported funds

1076
01:05:04,908 --> 01:05:09,018
or essentially the rents that
they pay for the human talent

1077
01:05:09,018 --> 01:05:11,058
services that are
not functioning

1078
01:05:11,058 --> 01:05:14,268
within those individual
departments under idaho Code,

1079
01:05:14,268 --> 01:05:20,328
we are required to keep all
fee based part of our budget

1080
01:05:20,328 --> 01:05:22,188
separated and divided.

1081
01:05:22,188 --> 01:05:25,878
And essentially, they rent
attorney's services as they rent

1082
01:05:25,878 --> 01:05:32,328
Human Resource Services is from
the general government services

1083
01:05:32,328 --> 01:05:37,638
in this budget, we're looking
at a 5% increase for water a 5%

1084
01:05:37,638 --> 01:05:40,308
increase for sewer
We held a public

1085
01:05:40,308 --> 01:05:46,458
hearing on august 3 in which
those rates were discussed.

1086
01:05:46,458 --> 01:05:51,978
We did not have to hold a public
hearing on the sanitation rates

1087
01:05:51,978 --> 01:05:53,958
because on that
worst example, you

1088
01:05:53,958 --> 01:06:01,128
can see that they're going to
decrease by 38.7% As I shared

1089
01:06:01,128 --> 01:06:02,868
in the last chart,
the city of Twin Falls

1090
01:06:02,868 --> 01:06:06,108
is nearly $6.8 billion
in total value,

1091
01:06:06,108 --> 01:06:11,605
but that excludes 770
nearly $780 billion

1092
01:06:11,605 --> 01:06:16,038
of urban renewal
value in combined

1093
01:06:16,038 --> 01:06:19,668
all the value of the
properties inside of the city's

1094
01:06:19,668 --> 01:06:24,828
geographic boundary exceeds
$7.5 billion that signify

1095
01:06:24,828 --> 01:06:32,538
and because in 2021, the
city's value was 3.4 billion

1096
01:06:32,538 --> 01:06:37,458
This is a reflection of our
tax rates and fiscal year 21.

1097
01:06:37,458 --> 01:06:40,698
And you can see that it is
downward trending and it has

1098
01:06:40,698 --> 01:06:46,278
been flat over the course of the
last five fiscal years If you

1099
01:06:46,278 --> 01:06:49,548
were to extend this
chart out beyond 21,

1100
01:06:49,548 --> 01:06:53,418
you would see that it is
significantly more downward

1101
01:06:53,418 --> 01:07:01,218
trending We project the tax rate
for this year will be $5.03 per

1102
01:07:01,218 --> 01:07:06,378
$1,000 of taxable value as
opposed to $5.06 that was

1103
01:07:06,378 --> 01:07:12,198
offered last year or for the
current year So after wanting

1104
01:07:12,198 --> 01:07:15,798
to know how much it's going to
cost inside of the city of Twin

1105
01:07:15,798 --> 01:07:18,498
Falls, we're often
asked, how do we compare

1106
01:07:18,498 --> 01:07:21,048
to other urban entities ?

1107
01:07:21,048 --> 01:07:23,148
This chart is
designed to reflect

1108
01:07:23,148 --> 01:07:26,538
that we receive information
from outside sources.

1109
01:07:26,538 --> 01:07:30,768
We use the associated
Taxpayers of Idaho Levy Book

1110
01:07:30,768 --> 01:07:33,468
and we use Zillow for
our market pricing.

1111
01:07:33,468 --> 01:07:36,738
And this is we're
looking every city

1112
01:07:36,738 --> 01:07:39,798
and county in the state of
Idaho is in the final stages

1113
01:07:39,798 --> 01:07:40,848
of their budget.

1114
01:07:40,848 --> 01:07:44,808
They're all having or will
have their public hearings

1115
01:07:44,808 --> 01:07:45,378
on the budget.

1116
01:07:45,378 --> 01:07:50,688
And so this is the impact of the
current budget on our residents.

1117
01:07:50,688 --> 01:07:54,108
By comparison and to
major cities in idaho.

1118
01:07:54,108 --> 01:07:58,518
And you can see with the
exception of a quarter lane,

1119
01:07:58,518 --> 01:08:05,088
we fare better than the rest
You'll also notice that Boise,

1120
01:08:05,088 --> 01:08:08,328
Meridian and Nampa
are excluded and

1121
01:08:08,328 --> 01:08:10,038
they're intentionally excluded.

1122
01:08:10,038 --> 01:08:14,958
The first reason is
because roads and operation

1123
01:08:14,958 --> 01:08:17,928
and maintenance for
transportation systems

1124
01:08:17,928 --> 01:08:21,048
is a significant
portion of our budget

1125
01:08:21,048 --> 01:08:24,978
and that service is performed by
the ADA county Highway District

1126
01:08:24,978 --> 01:08:30,108
for all of the cities that are
located within the county Simply

1127
01:08:30,108 --> 01:08:34,698
they don't do roads And it
is something that is absorbed

1128
01:08:34,698 --> 01:08:38,838
into our budget Nampa is
excluded because it had made

1129
01:08:38,838 --> 01:08:44,598
the decision to to enter
into a fire district

1130
01:08:44,598 --> 01:08:48,468
So the city of Napa no longer
offers fire services as a part

1131
01:08:48,468 --> 01:08:52,308
of the full services
that they offer

1132
01:08:52,308 --> 01:08:55,248
And so that is the
reason why those three

1133
01:08:55,248 --> 01:09:03,438
cities are intentionally
excluded So when

1134
01:09:03,438 --> 01:09:05,298
we look at the city's budget,

1135
01:09:05,298 --> 01:09:10,728
it's broken into really
two large component to one

1136
01:09:10,728 --> 01:09:15,498
are the government funds
and the government funds are

1137
01:09:15,498 --> 01:09:20,328
the general fund, the street
fund the airport fund one

1138
01:09:20,328 --> 01:09:24,858
of our funds that receive
some portion of its funding

1139
01:09:24,858 --> 01:09:28,038
through property
tax calculations

1140
01:09:28,038 --> 01:09:30,738
The second piece of that
is the enterprise funds

1141
01:09:30,738 --> 01:09:36,228
or those that receive a fee in
exchange for a service provider

1142
01:09:36,228 --> 01:09:39,468
fund, sewer fund, Santa fund.

1143
01:09:39,468 --> 01:09:41,358
And then the other non
major tax supported

1144
01:09:41,358 --> 01:09:45,978
funds are going to be non tech
support funds are going to be

1145
01:09:45,978 --> 01:09:52,968
things like Turkeys, Lake
It makes sense that if we're

1146
01:09:52,968 --> 01:09:56,148
service organization, the single
largest expense that we're

1147
01:09:56,148 --> 01:09:57,498
going to have is our people.

1148
01:09:57,498 --> 01:09:59,508
And when you look at the
entirety of the budget,

1149
01:09:59,508 --> 01:10:05,088
44.5% is dedicated to personnel,
which covers the costs

1150
01:10:05,088 --> 01:10:09,828
of salaries and
benefits for the 355

1151
01:10:09,828 --> 01:10:15,798
soon to be 357 employees with
the approval of this budget

1152
01:10:15,798 --> 01:10:20,988
operation and maintenance and
capital are the same at 23.3%,

1153
01:10:20,988 --> 01:10:23,118
debt service is at 3.2%.

1154
01:10:23,118 --> 01:10:25,728
The only debt that the
city of Twin Falls has

1155
01:10:25,728 --> 01:10:30,738
is associated with a revenue
bond that was approved

1156
01:10:30,738 --> 01:10:34,338
by the voters in
2014 for improvements

1157
01:10:34,338 --> 01:10:37,488
associated with the
wastewater treatment facility.

1158
01:10:37,488 --> 01:10:39,498
And then those transfers
that I talked about,

1159
01:10:39,498 --> 01:10:41,688
the rent for professional
services that

1160
01:10:41,688 --> 01:10:50,448
is paid by the enterprise funds
back to the government fund

1161
01:10:50,448 --> 01:10:52,128
in the tax supported
fund, you can

1162
01:10:52,128 --> 01:10:59,268
see that 63% of the total budget
is spent in general Fund Street

1163
01:10:59,268 --> 01:11:03,528
Capital Airport and
the other non major tax

1164
01:11:03,528 --> 01:11:09,768
supported funds are of the
government funds 55% of it

1165
01:11:09,768 --> 01:11:13,188
is funded with property
taxes That doesn't mean

1166
01:11:13,188 --> 01:11:15,708
that 55% of the budgets,
property taxes, it

1167
01:11:15,708 --> 01:11:24,528
means that 55% of the 61.87% is
funded through property taxes

1168
01:11:24,528 --> 01:11:28,938
And when you look at it, it's
a slightly more than a third.

1169
01:11:28,938 --> 01:11:32,778
And focusing on property taxes
just for a second, if you add

1170
01:11:32,778 --> 01:11:38,388
the cost of police fire
prosecutorial services

1171
01:11:38,388 --> 01:11:41,789
and street funding
those Four entities

1172
01:11:41,789 --> 01:11:44,472
cost more to the
city of Twin Falls

1173
01:11:44,472 --> 01:11:48,858
than the total amount of
property taxes that we bring in.

1174
01:11:48,858 --> 01:11:53,688
We receive other revenues that
are illustrated there to really

1175
01:11:53,688 --> 01:12:01,638
help round out the revenue
sources for the $61.87 million

1176
01:12:01,638 --> 01:12:03,978
New construction is
a big piece of that.

1177
01:12:03,978 --> 01:12:05,658
And you can see that
the new construction

1178
01:12:05,658 --> 01:12:07,098
tends to ebb and flow.

1179
01:12:07,098 --> 01:12:09,528
And it's a direct result
of building activity

1180
01:12:09,528 --> 01:12:11,958
that occurred in
the prior years.

1181
01:12:11,958 --> 01:12:14,748
And so when we collect
a building permit,

1182
01:12:14,748 --> 01:12:19,218
there is a first capture of
resources to assist builders

1183
01:12:19,218 --> 01:12:23,058
and developers through that
building permit process This is

1184
01:12:23,058 --> 01:12:28,158
the piece that falls onto the
tax rolls and you can see that

1185
01:12:28,158 --> 01:12:31,218
this year that that
new construction

1186
01:12:31,218 --> 01:12:38,988
value is about $473,000
of new money this year.

1187
01:12:38,988 --> 01:12:43,308
And that is with the reduction
of the and percent as required

1188
01:12:43,308 --> 01:12:49,938
by house Bill 389 building
permit revenue You can see

1189
01:12:49,938 --> 01:12:53,568
the ebbs and flows and
it is very much tied

1190
01:12:53,568 --> 01:12:56,238
to the local economy
in this year's budget,

1191
01:12:56,238 --> 01:12:57,378
we're estimating
that will collect

1192
01:12:57,378 --> 01:13:01,218
a million dollars in total
building permit revenues.

1193
01:13:01,218 --> 01:13:05,748
That excludes McCann nickel,
Electrical and Plumbing

1194
01:13:05,748 --> 01:13:07,818
This is just the
structure piece of it.

1195
01:13:07,818 --> 01:13:11,898
We use this as hopefully an
indicator to determine value

1196
01:13:11,898 --> 01:13:16,218
as we try to provide our
pride, try to project what

1197
01:13:16,218 --> 01:13:19,728
the new construction
role will be

1198
01:13:19,728 --> 01:13:23,808
and request liens
on the overview,

1199
01:13:23,808 --> 01:13:28,038
on the government funds
knowing that you could

1200
01:13:28,038 --> 01:13:35,298
probably give this any
questions for Travis

1201
01:13:35,298 --> 01:13:36,348
Mike Travis All right.

1202
01:13:36,348 --> 01:13:39,048
So the next piece we dive
into, the next largest

1203
01:13:39,048 --> 01:13:44,628
action on that first pie chart
is the are the enterprise funds.

1204
01:13:44,628 --> 01:13:47,748
And when you take a look at the
totality of the enterprise funds

1205
01:13:47,748 --> 01:13:52,878
or again, those funds that are
funded with fees for service

1206
01:13:52,878 --> 01:13:59,898
46.6% is in the
water fund, 37.4%

1207
01:13:59,898 --> 01:14:06,030
is in the wastewater fund
and 13.8% is in the city fund

1208
01:14:06,030 --> 01:14:08,898
and off to the
right, you can see

1209
01:14:08,898 --> 01:14:12,798
the increases or the
decreases associated

1210
01:14:12,798 --> 01:14:16,038
with each one of those funds.

1211
01:14:16,038 --> 01:14:22,518
For this upcoming
fiscal year Striving

1212
01:14:22,518 --> 01:14:24,468
to be an employer of choice.

1213
01:14:24,468 --> 01:14:27,858
We want to make sure that
our compensation and benefits

1214
01:14:27,858 --> 01:14:32,148
are at and near market.

1215
01:14:32,148 --> 01:14:35,718
And so this budget calls
for a 3% performance

1216
01:14:35,718 --> 01:14:37,788
adjustment for our employees.

1217
01:14:37,788 --> 01:14:42,228
A 3% table move
for our employees.

1218
01:14:42,228 --> 01:14:44,598
And it's important
to recognize and this

1219
01:14:44,598 --> 01:14:46,668
is going to sound a
little bit like government

1220
01:14:46,668 --> 01:14:49,836
math for a minute
3.6 doesn't equal

1221
01:14:49,836 --> 01:14:53,418
3 plus three doesn't equal six.

1222
01:14:53,418 --> 01:14:56,718
That front end of the table
in the back end of the table.

1223
01:14:56,718 --> 01:14:58,158
Slide 3%.

1224
01:14:58,158 --> 01:15:01,578
And it depends upon
where individuals live

1225
01:15:01,578 --> 01:15:05,568
within those bands to determine
if they get any portion

1226
01:15:05,568 --> 01:15:09,018
of that second 3% table move.

1227
01:15:09,018 --> 01:15:12,378
We find that very
few of our employees

1228
01:15:12,378 --> 01:15:14,958
will receive that over the
course of a fiscal year.

1229
01:15:14,958 --> 01:15:19,038
But it's really a reflection
on where we start compensation

1230
01:15:19,038 --> 01:15:22,638
and what is the cap
of that compensation.

1231
01:15:22,638 --> 01:15:26,958
We provide $900 into a Veba
retired joint account that

1232
01:15:26,958 --> 01:15:33,318
our employees can use for post
retirement medical expenses

1233
01:15:33,318 --> 01:15:36,378
as part of our overall
health insurance plan When we

1234
01:15:36,378 --> 01:15:41,118
transition to a high deductible
plan, we offered essentially

1235
01:15:41,118 --> 01:15:42,918
a buy down of $1,000.

1236
01:15:42,918 --> 01:15:48,648
And we contribute that into
each employee's HSA account

1237
01:15:48,648 --> 01:15:53,778
I am happy as I shared that
gretchen Scott and other members

1238
01:15:53,778 --> 01:15:56,958
of our team really
paid near to us

1239
01:15:56,958 --> 01:16:00,978
in moving forward to becoming
self-insured as a health

1240
01:16:00,978 --> 01:16:05,058
insurance model Just the two
years that we have been there

1241
01:16:05,058 --> 01:16:08,898
have saved us more
than a market average

1242
01:16:08,898 --> 01:16:11,508
If we would have received
the market average of health

1243
01:16:11,508 --> 01:16:18,108
insurance increases $1.1
million of benefit expenditure

1244
01:16:18,108 --> 01:16:22,698
and for the second
year in a row health

1245
01:16:22,698 --> 01:16:25,038
insurance rates for
the city of Twin Falls

1246
01:16:25,038 --> 01:16:26,538
will remain exactly the same.

1247
01:16:26,538 --> 01:16:30,078
There's a 0% increase
associated with that

1248
01:16:30,078 --> 01:16:34,248
or the city of Twin
Falls, and our employees

1249
01:16:34,248 --> 01:16:39,708
And we continue to build up the
health trust corpus to ensure

1250
01:16:39,708 --> 01:16:44,628
that it is well funded
in the future event

1251
01:16:44,628 --> 01:16:47,238
that we have some of
those shock claims.

1252
01:16:47,238 --> 01:16:49,578
And we continue
with our retention

1253
01:16:49,578 --> 01:16:55,578
pay agreement in moving
forward As I shared with you,

1254
01:16:55,578 --> 01:16:59,568
we're looking at adding
essentially what amounts to two

1255
01:16:59,568 --> 01:17:05,748
new positions And honestly had
these two positions not come

1256
01:17:05,748 --> 01:17:08,058
before the city council
and having conversations

1257
01:17:08,058 --> 01:17:11,868
with the exact leadership
team who really vet positions,

1258
01:17:11,868 --> 01:17:16,969
the need for position
and that future viability

1259
01:17:16,969 --> 01:17:20,448
we may have been hesitant
to add either one.

1260
01:17:20,448 --> 01:17:24,198
We do see the need for the
school resource officer

1261
01:17:24,198 --> 01:17:29,958
and the fact that that is 90%
reimbursed by the new charter

1262
01:17:29,958 --> 01:17:32,268
school helps defray that cost.

1263
01:17:32,268 --> 01:17:36,558
That 90% reimbursement is
directly reflective of the 10%

1264
01:17:36,558 --> 01:17:39,258
amount of time that we will be
able to have this individual

1265
01:17:39,258 --> 01:17:42,288
serving as a police officer
inside of our community

1266
01:17:42,288 --> 01:17:45,888
outside of the schools and
then the project manager,

1267
01:17:45,888 --> 01:17:47,568
as it was shared last year.

1268
01:17:47,568 --> 01:17:49,578
And because of the
significant capital

1269
01:17:49,578 --> 01:17:52,419
projects that we have
not only in parks.

1270
01:17:52,419 --> 01:17:55,758
This year and next year,
but the larger projects

1271
01:17:55,758 --> 01:18:00,168
that we have with water
and wastewater services,

1272
01:18:00,168 --> 01:18:04,102
we came around to saying
it's a good idea and so

1273
01:18:04,102 --> 01:18:04,848
kind of question.

1274
01:18:04,848 --> 01:18:05,598
Travis Yeah.

1275
01:18:05,598 --> 01:18:08,786
Chris Reed If you could
just remind everybody here.

1276
01:18:08,786 --> 01:18:13,848
Why we had that large
jump from 24 to 25.

1277
01:18:13,848 --> 01:18:22,518
Great question in 24 to 25,
we incorporated the library

1278
01:18:22,518 --> 01:18:26,178
into our organizational
structure

1279
01:18:26,178 --> 01:18:30,618
prior to fiscal year
25 library employees

1280
01:18:30,618 --> 01:18:34,038
were following their
own employee handbook.

1281
01:18:34,038 --> 01:18:37,128
They were following their
own employee processes

1282
01:18:37,128 --> 01:18:43,104
And so we while they were
funded by the city, we did.

1283
01:18:43,104 --> 01:18:46,188
Now include them in our
overall employee count

1284
01:18:46,188 --> 01:18:50,208
And so that is why
that jump occurred.

1285
01:18:50,208 --> 01:18:50,728
Thank you.

1286
01:18:50,728 --> 01:18:51,828
I just wanted
everybody to see it

1287
01:18:51,828 --> 01:18:54,378
because that looks like
we got a little crazy

1288
01:18:54,378 --> 01:18:55,488
and started hiring folks.

1289
01:18:55,488 --> 01:18:58,398
But they were already part
of the family They were.

1290
01:18:58,398 --> 01:19:02,958
We just classified them
as a different employee

1291
01:19:02,958 --> 01:19:06,498
that that chart, if we
reflected library employees,

1292
01:19:06,498 --> 01:19:09,888
we'd see very very
small incremental growth

1293
01:19:09,888 --> 01:19:11,295
in new employees.

1294
01:19:11,295 --> 01:19:16,068
It's really based upon those
numbers that are at the bottom.

1295
01:19:16,068 --> 01:19:18,798
One of the things when we were
looking at the total number

1296
01:19:18,798 --> 01:19:23,718
of new employees is
i would be remiss

1297
01:19:23,718 --> 01:19:28,818
if I didn't share that there
were many requests that came

1298
01:19:28,818 --> 01:19:37,188
in that were not funded and we
did not want to add employees

1299
01:19:37,188 --> 01:19:43,938
into this budget that we
couldn't guarantee that we would

1300
01:19:43,938 --> 01:19:47,688
have the revenue sources moving
forward for at least a period

1301
01:19:47,688 --> 01:19:52,368
of Five years as they're
moving through our payroll

1302
01:19:52,368 --> 01:19:55,008
And the last thing
that we want to do

1303
01:19:55,008 --> 01:19:59,924
is have this begin to look
more like a unstable roller

1304
01:19:59,924 --> 01:20:04,848
coaster, because we get
very dependent upon staffing

1305
01:20:04,848 --> 01:20:09,768
in the delivery of services
And when we have to pull back,

1306
01:20:09,768 --> 01:20:12,078
that causes a disruption
in our ability

1307
01:20:12,078 --> 01:20:19,578
to perform operation and
maintenance continues to grow.

1308
01:20:19,578 --> 01:20:22,128
And you can see that
the municipal cost

1309
01:20:22,128 --> 01:20:30,768
index this year is project iNG
a is about a 2%, 2.19% increase.

1310
01:20:30,768 --> 01:20:36,468
I and it's very similar to what
our budget came in at this year

1311
01:20:36,468 --> 01:20:38,808
Total operation maintenance
across all funds

1312
01:20:38,808 --> 01:20:45,348
is $23.8 million, as illustrated
on the previous slide

1313
01:20:45,348 --> 01:20:47,448
And then this is the one that
looks more like the roller

1314
01:20:47,448 --> 01:20:52,038
coaster This is when we have
infusions of money when we are

1315
01:20:52,038 --> 01:20:57,378
recipients of grants, when we
have sl, f, r, f funds that come

1316
01:20:57,378 --> 01:21:03,318
into our community Really, this
reflects all of the dollars

1317
01:21:03,318 --> 01:21:06,738
from all of the funds that
are coming into the system

1318
01:21:06,738 --> 01:21:11,748
And as Matt Barnes was up
here just a moment ago,

1319
01:21:11,748 --> 01:21:14,958
$1.3 million
additional expenditure

1320
01:21:14,958 --> 01:21:20,028
are associated with a grant
is part of this budget

1321
01:21:20,028 --> 01:21:26,358
and as we projected forward and
as Matt shared during his part

1322
01:21:26,358 --> 01:21:30,978
of the budget presentation, we
have some very large capital

1323
01:21:30,978 --> 01:21:36,254
projects specifically
around runway research

1324
01:21:36,254 --> 01:21:41,358
saying that we are going to
continue to see spikes in that

1325
01:21:41,358 --> 01:21:44,658
moving forward consistently
across our organization

1326
01:21:44,658 --> 01:21:51,288
and we spend somewhere
between 2.4 and $2.8 million

1327
01:21:51,288 --> 01:21:55,248
of property tax dollars in
the general fund associated

1328
01:21:55,248 --> 01:22:00,048
with capital operation
and maintenance

1329
01:22:00,048 --> 01:22:01,179
as part of the project.

1330
01:22:01,179 --> 01:22:06,978
We shared, there are 700
excuse me $820,000 this year.

1331
01:22:06,978 --> 01:22:13,548
Historically with $770,000 of
funding that is reserved for one

1332
01:22:13,548 --> 01:22:18,498
time capital projects at the
Council's discretion from

1333
01:22:18,498 --> 01:22:23,298
the 7th of July through the
entirety of the process So these

1334
01:22:23,298 --> 01:22:26,778
are the list of projects
that the Council approved

1335
01:22:26,778 --> 01:22:30,858
and the to be determined
indicate step four work that

1336
01:22:30,858 --> 01:22:34,428
needs to move
forward So in total

1337
01:22:34,428 --> 01:22:37,758
there are $721,000
with the project

1338
01:22:37,758 --> 01:22:39,588
acts that have been identified.

1339
01:22:39,588 --> 01:22:44,298
There is an additional $99,000
that has yet to be allocated,

1340
01:22:44,298 --> 01:22:48,228
but it is in the expense
column and staff will come back

1341
01:22:48,228 --> 01:22:52,758
on those different projects as
we do our work to share what

1342
01:22:52,758 --> 01:22:57,198
the cost of the umbrella shade
at City Park and Downtown

1343
01:22:57,198 --> 01:23:02,448
Commons would be as well as
the seed money for the arts

1344
01:23:02,448 --> 01:23:10,488
Commission I said that
everything is tied

1345
01:23:10,488 --> 01:23:12,018
to the city strategic plan.

1346
01:23:12,018 --> 01:23:15,438
These are the eight
primary focus areas

1347
01:23:15,438 --> 01:23:18,348
I'm going to go into each
one of these focus areas

1348
01:23:18,348 --> 01:23:21,798
as a matter of quick
recap but focus area one

1349
01:23:21,798 --> 01:23:25,548
is a healthy community and as
we shared in each of these,

1350
01:23:25,548 --> 01:23:28,308
I'm not going to read
all of these line items,

1351
01:23:28,308 --> 01:23:30,438
but as we go through,
we talked about some

1352
01:23:30,438 --> 01:23:34,338
of the different things that we
felt were meritorious of funding

1353
01:23:34,338 --> 01:23:38,268
that were outside of staffing
outside of operational costs

1354
01:23:38,268 --> 01:23:41,208
more one time projects
to move forward.

1355
01:23:41,208 --> 01:23:44,268
And you could see additional
signage, installation Urban

1356
01:23:44,268 --> 01:23:46,038
Outfitters, these
lakes are shown

1357
01:23:46,038 --> 01:23:50,898
falls and automated ticket
booth as a direct result

1358
01:23:50,898 --> 01:23:53,760
of labor challenges.

1359
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:59,508
The entirety of the park
is funded through the road

1360
01:23:59,508 --> 01:24:03,528
admittance fee of $5
without the ability

1361
01:24:03,528 --> 01:24:07,008
to man the gate Not only
is it a lost revenue

1362
01:24:07,008 --> 01:24:09,918
but it's also a lost access
and so we wanted to make sure

1363
01:24:09,918 --> 01:24:14,598
that there is an opportunity to
meet the needs of our citizens

1364
01:24:14,598 --> 01:24:20,598
as well as meet the needs of
the cost to maintain that world

1365
01:24:20,598 --> 01:24:30,348
class facility Erica
with the library

1366
01:24:30,348 --> 01:24:35,268
came and she shared the
phase three carpet remodel.

1367
01:24:35,268 --> 01:24:39,318
This is a project that has
been going on for a last couple

1368
01:24:39,318 --> 01:24:42,665
of years and they shared with
you that the First time they

1369
01:24:42,665 --> 01:24:45,322
tried to do it all
in a single year,

1370
01:24:45,322 --> 01:24:48,288
they recognized that that
was not the best approach.

1371
01:24:48,288 --> 01:24:55,878
And so they broke this into
a multiple year project

1372
01:24:55,878 --> 01:24:57,378
inside of the original budget.

1373
01:24:57,378 --> 01:25:01,518
You will see all of these
items One of the changes

1374
01:25:01,518 --> 01:25:08,178
that was made was the real time
Information Center of $88,400.

1375
01:25:08,178 --> 01:25:13,338
That item was removed from
considering funding the rest

1376
01:25:13,338 --> 01:25:21,348
and the balance of this program
is remained in tact It it

1377
01:25:21,348 --> 01:25:25,338
includes mobile radio radios
a lease payment on a fire

1378
01:25:25,338 --> 01:25:34,038
apparatus canine vehicles,
an additional police cruisers

1379
01:25:34,038 --> 01:25:38,238
the accessible community really
talks about not only roadways,

1380
01:25:38,238 --> 01:25:41,658
but multi modal areas
of transportation

1381
01:25:41,658 --> 01:25:44,328
as well as the airport.

1382
01:25:44,328 --> 01:25:51,228
You can see the airport
projects at $1.4 million an hour

1383
01:25:51,228 --> 01:25:57,558
Favorite chip seal project
at a tune of 2.1 million.

1384
01:25:57,558 --> 01:25:59,178
And credit to the team.

1385
01:25:59,178 --> 01:26:03,183
They have spent a lot of time
analyzing the best approach.

1386
01:26:03,183 --> 01:26:05,928
And it's not a liked approach.

1387
01:26:05,928 --> 01:26:08,088
And it's not something
that last year

1388
01:26:08,088 --> 01:26:11,928
when we did my
neighborhood, I liked either

1389
01:26:11,928 --> 01:26:18,528
But really it is the only
type of system that or program

1390
01:26:18,528 --> 01:26:20,988
that we have that really
maintains the road

1391
01:26:20,988 --> 01:26:24,438
infrastructure and prevents
significant potholes

1392
01:26:24,438 --> 01:26:29,058
from occurring I can
remember early in my tenure

1393
01:26:29,058 --> 01:26:32,298
as city manager
when Eastland drive

1394
01:26:32,298 --> 01:26:37,008
started to be lost as a result
of the significant moisture

1395
01:26:37,008 --> 01:26:37,908
events.

1396
01:26:37,908 --> 01:26:43,818
There were potholes the size
that of small automobiles

1397
01:26:43,818 --> 01:26:47,598
and we were barricading
the roadways

1398
01:26:47,598 --> 01:26:51,408
and yes road construction
is an inconvenience

1399
01:26:51,408 --> 01:26:56,148
and we like to say in Idaho, we
really only have two seasons.

1400
01:26:56,148 --> 01:27:01,668
Hopefully a really good
winter And then construction

1401
01:27:01,668 --> 01:27:04,308
But this really kind
of talks about that

1402
01:27:04,308 --> 01:27:10,728
plan to maintain an
accessible community

1403
01:27:10,728 --> 01:27:13,008
The environmental
community really

1404
01:27:13,008 --> 01:27:15,678
speaks to our water and
our wastewater system

1405
01:27:15,678 --> 01:27:18,258
as it talks about
mainline replacement

1406
01:27:18,258 --> 01:27:20,868
and how members
of the water team

1407
01:27:20,868 --> 01:27:24,258
have shared that it is
important to continue to upgrade

1408
01:27:24,258 --> 01:27:26,538
and replace water line systems.

1409
01:27:26,538 --> 01:27:28,908
We have water lines
in our community

1410
01:27:28,908 --> 01:27:31,218
that are significantly
undersized

1411
01:27:31,218 --> 01:27:35,088
and so going in and replace
them with a modern spec

1412
01:27:35,088 --> 01:27:39,258
to allow for greater not
only water flow and delivery.

1413
01:27:39,258 --> 01:27:42,318
But also fire flow
should an unfortunate

1414
01:27:42,318 --> 01:27:45,708
circumstance present itself.

1415
01:27:45,708 --> 01:27:49,998
This goes through the
entirety of those lists

1416
01:27:49,998 --> 01:27:53,613
and not only replacing water
lines, but also nearly $1

1417
01:27:53,613 --> 01:27:57,439
million for the sewer lines
and the dewatering system

1418
01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:00,258
There's improvement at the
city's wastewater treatment

1419
01:28:00,258 --> 01:28:06,108
facility a prosperous
community is really connected

1420
01:28:06,108 --> 01:28:08,358
to our partners ship
with the Urban Renewal

1421
01:28:08,358 --> 01:28:12,108
Agency and the airport
and finding ways

1422
01:28:12,108 --> 01:28:14,178
for our economic
development team

1423
01:28:14,178 --> 01:28:16,608
to continue to
market Twin Falls,

1424
01:28:16,608 --> 01:28:20,718
to continue to attract companies
for growth and opportunity

1425
01:28:20,718 --> 01:28:23,418
and really to allow us
to grow that economy

1426
01:28:23,418 --> 01:28:25,098
when we grow our economy,

1427
01:28:25,098 --> 01:28:28,458
we grow the size of the pie
that we have and then we're

1428
01:28:28,458 --> 01:28:32,538
able to spread those costs
across greater users which

1429
01:28:32,538 --> 01:28:37,818
is the best way for us
to lower individual tax

1430
01:28:37,818 --> 01:28:42,888
burdens The council
capital piece of that

1431
01:28:42,888 --> 01:28:49,788
is that responsible community
And then this is the employee

1432
01:28:49,788 --> 01:28:54,738
section that I talked about In
addition to that is making sure

1433
01:28:54,738 --> 01:28:59,478
that folks have the right
technology, such as computers,

1434
01:28:59,478 --> 01:29:03,798
that our radio systems can
still continue to communicate

1435
01:29:03,798 --> 01:29:06,678
with themselves and
fiber loop systems

1436
01:29:06,678 --> 01:29:10,728
to make sure that we have
greater control of signalisation

1437
01:29:10,728 --> 01:29:15,348
of traffic signals and to
make sure that the different

1438
01:29:15,348 --> 01:29:19,126
satellite offices that we have
the ability to communicate

1439
01:29:19,126 --> 01:29:28,728
through or reliable
system So you're here,

1440
01:29:28,728 --> 01:29:32,418
you worked your way all the
way through this calendar.

1441
01:29:32,418 --> 01:29:36,378
And tonight is the
public hearing.

1442
01:29:36,378 --> 01:29:37,158
Mr. Mayor.

1443
01:29:37,158 --> 01:29:40,638
It is appropriate and under
idaho code to open up the next

1444
01:29:40,638 --> 01:29:46,158
phase to the general citizen
input as it relates directly

1445
01:29:46,158 --> 01:29:50,628
to the expended chairs that
are included in the preliminary

1446
01:29:50,628 --> 01:29:56,148
budget for fiscal year 27 Any
questions for Travis before

1447
01:29:56,148 --> 01:30:01,504
we open up the public comment ?

1448
01:30:01,504 --> 01:30:02,004
OK.

1449
01:30:02,004 --> 01:30:02,504
OK.

1450
01:30:02,504 --> 01:30:04,488
Looks like we're at that
particular moment in time.

1451
01:30:04,488 --> 01:30:12,828
Travis will go ahead and open up
the general the public hearing

1452
01:30:12,828 --> 01:30:18,348
on the fiscal year
2026 2027 budget

1453
01:30:18,348 --> 01:30:20,088
for the city of Twin Falls.

1454
01:30:20,088 --> 01:30:23,782
And again as we recounted
the nine steps, 4,

1455
01:30:23,782 --> 01:30:26,015
we're about halfway
through those steps.

1456
01:30:26,015 --> 01:30:28,608
So if you have
testimony, please state

1457
01:30:28,608 --> 01:30:32,178

podium state your name

1458
01:30:32,178 --> 01:30:34,788
and address the council.

1459
01:30:34,788 --> 01:30:35,778
You'll have two minutes.

1460
01:30:35,778 --> 01:30:38,328
And then I also need to
make sure that everybody

1461
01:30:38,328 --> 01:30:40,368
has signed up in on that.

1462
01:30:40,368 --> 01:30:45,048
So we'll go ahead and open
up the public comment period

1463
01:30:45,048 --> 01:31:28,068
for the budget for fiscal year
27 for the city of Twin Falls

1464
01:31:28,068 --> 01:31:30,064
If you don't mind, if you
would state your name for us.

1465
01:31:30,064 --> 01:31:31,338
So we thank you.

1466
01:31:31,338 --> 01:31:36,348
My name is Oubre Nelson C
Mayor and council members

1467
01:31:36,348 --> 01:31:38,658
I couldn't quite
understand if what happened

1468
01:31:38,658 --> 01:31:40,818
to the flock camera budget.

1469
01:31:40,818 --> 01:31:44,718
I was here on August 4th, so I'd
like some clarification on where

1470
01:31:44,718 --> 01:31:48,738
that is in the presentation
today Mr. Mayor,

1471
01:31:48,738 --> 01:31:53,508
I can answer that There are two
components to the flock camera

1472
01:31:53,508 --> 01:31:59,268
system that are in the budget
The first was the piece that was

1473
01:31:59,268 --> 01:32:03,108
removed and that was for
$88,000 that has been

1474
01:32:03,108 --> 01:32:06,018
removed from consideration
and is no longer

1475
01:32:06,018 --> 01:32:09,168
in fiscal year 27 budget.

1476
01:32:09,168 --> 01:32:12,798
The operating and maintenance
for the existing 40 cameras

1477
01:32:12,798 --> 01:32:14,298
remains in the budget.

1478
01:32:14,298 --> 01:32:14,883
All right.

1479
01:32:14,883 --> 01:32:16,053
Thank you for that
clarification.

1480
01:32:16,053 --> 01:32:16,553
Good.

1481
01:32:16,553 --> 01:32:17,688
Step in the right direction.

1482
01:32:17,688 --> 01:32:20,118
I still would like to
see all the cameras gone.

1483
01:32:20,118 --> 01:32:23,838
I think that was pretty clear
from the last meeting I want

1484
01:32:23,838 --> 01:32:25,998
to show you or read to you
some of the headlines that are

1485
01:32:25,998 --> 01:32:29,028
happening across the
country about flock cameras

1486
01:32:29,028 --> 01:32:30,978
There's one called
Flock could enable

1487
01:32:30,978 --> 01:32:33,048
nationwide wide surveillance.

1488
01:32:33,048 --> 01:32:36,498
Texas constable warns
we shouldn't wait.

1489
01:32:36,498 --> 01:32:39,528
The concern here is issue
issue of one camera taking

1490
01:32:39,528 --> 01:32:41,298
a picture on a license plate.

1491
01:32:41,298 --> 01:32:44,508
The issue is what happens when
a large network of cameras

1492
01:32:44,508 --> 01:32:47,778
collect information about
vehicles that are seen,

1493
01:32:47,778 --> 01:32:51,048
information searchable
and non searchable.

1494
01:32:51,048 --> 01:32:51,738
Here's another one.

1495
01:32:51,738 --> 01:32:55,758
More than 160 flock surveillance
cameras have been vandalized

1496
01:32:55,758 --> 01:32:57,738
or destroyed I hate
to see something

1497
01:32:57,738 --> 01:32:59,718
like that happen in
our where people are

1498
01:32:59,718 --> 01:33:01,638
so incensed that that happens.

1499
01:33:01,638 --> 01:33:04,338
This is from Flock
stats incidents.

1500
01:33:04,338 --> 01:33:08,418
Marcus significant escalation
of public opposition.

1501
01:33:08,418 --> 01:33:11,958
Here's one flock is
losing dozens of contracts

1502
01:33:11,958 --> 01:33:17,388
as controversy grows at
least 54 cities across the US

1503
01:33:17,388 --> 01:33:21,468
have voted to cancel non
renew or recheck flocks.

1504
01:33:21,468 --> 01:33:23,208
Automatic system.

1505
01:33:23,208 --> 01:33:27,828
And finally, Washington post
article 50 police officers

1506
01:33:27,828 --> 01:33:29,928
and various departments
use flock cameras

1507
01:33:29,928 --> 01:33:32,872
to stalk women, including ex
wives and romantic partners

1508
01:33:32,872 --> 01:33:35,053
without their consent
for your thank.

1509
01:33:35,053 --> 01:33:37,248
Thank you. you for
your thank you counsel.

1510
01:33:37,248 --> 01:33:37,788
Thank you.

1511
01:33:37,788 --> 01:33:50,028
You Anyone else that would
like to address the No,

1512
01:33:50,028 --> 01:33:53,988
I we got your ears initially
It's on the record.

1513
01:33:53,988 --> 01:34:05,508
Thank you You appreciate
it So, again One more.

1514
01:34:05,508 --> 01:34:12,408
One more call for input on
the fiscal year 27 video.

1515
01:34:12,408 --> 01:34:18,978
Twin Falls Budget being
nobody to run up to.

1516
01:34:18,978 --> 01:34:21,168
Amy's side of the desk.

1517
01:34:21,168 --> 01:34:24,318
We'll go ahead and close that
budget hearing at this point.

1518
01:34:24,318 --> 01:34:27,978
And open it up for discussion.

1519
01:34:27,978 --> 01:34:30,198
Travis's final
comment and discussion

1520
01:34:30,198 --> 01:34:41,088
by the council Mr. Mayor
and members of the council,

1521
01:34:41,088 --> 01:34:43,788
I have nothing further
to add associated

1522
01:34:43,788 --> 01:34:48,588
with the public hearing I am
happy to answer any questions

1523
01:34:48,588 --> 01:34:52,818
that you have
related to the budget

1524
01:34:52,818 --> 01:34:54,978
Any questions for Travis
related to the budget

1525
01:34:54,978 --> 01:34:58,368
at this point You
know, go ahead and open

1526
01:34:58,368 --> 01:35:00,228
it up for council discussion.

1527
01:35:00,228 --> 01:35:05,358
Chris Read i would like to
make a adjustment or a motion

1528
01:35:05,358 --> 01:35:08,367
for the council to vote on a
line item, if that's all right.

1529
01:35:08,367 --> 01:35:13,458
Mayor yes I move that
the city suspends

1530
01:35:13,458 --> 01:35:18,198
the use and financial
obligation of automatic license

1531
01:35:18,198 --> 01:35:18,948
plate readers.

1532
01:35:18,948 --> 01:35:22,698
A LPR cameras until the Idaho
legislation legisla nature

1533
01:35:22,698 --> 01:35:26,388
adopts comprehensive rules
regulations and accountability

1534
01:35:26,388 --> 01:35:30,108
measures governing the
use of LPR technology,

1535
01:35:30,108 --> 01:35:32,958
including consequences
for misuse

1536
01:35:32,958 --> 01:35:35,268
We have a motion
to have a second.

1537
01:35:35,268 --> 01:35:36,311
Mr. Mayor Illustration.

1538
01:35:36,311 --> 01:35:36,811
OK.

1539
01:35:36,811 --> 01:35:38,238
I have a motion in a second.

1540
01:35:38,238 --> 01:35:41,028
A motion by Chris Read in
a second by Grayson Stone

1541
01:35:41,028 --> 01:35:43,458
and correct me, Chris, if
I didn't get all of that,

1542
01:35:43,458 --> 01:35:44,448
I can read it again.

1543
01:35:44,448 --> 01:35:47,088
If you'd like, if
you don't mind.

1544
01:35:47,088 --> 01:35:51,198
I move that the city suspend the
use and financial obligations

1545
01:35:51,198 --> 01:35:55,668
of the automated automated
license plate reader lPR cameras

1546
01:35:55,668 --> 01:35:58,968
until the Idaho legislature
adopts comprehend of rules,

1547
01:35:58,968 --> 01:36:01,458
regulations and
accountability measures

1548
01:36:01,458 --> 01:36:04,548
governing the use
of LPR technology

1549
01:36:04,548 --> 01:36:06,869
including consequences
for misuse.

1550
01:36:06,869 --> 01:36:10,728
I have a motion and
a second on the item

1551
01:36:10,728 --> 01:36:13,128
that Councilman
Reed had just read.

1552
01:36:13,128 --> 01:36:16,728
Any discussion by the
City Council on that item

1553
01:36:16,728 --> 01:36:24,018
On that motion, I should say
Hey Amy, roll call, vote please.

1554
01:36:24,018 --> 01:36:26,298
Chris Read yes.

1555
01:36:26,298 --> 01:36:30,018
Greg hawkins No Jason Brown No.

1556
01:36:30,018 --> 01:36:30,948
Nathan Murray.

1557
01:36:30,948 --> 01:36:31,548
No.

1558
01:36:31,548 --> 01:36:35,824
Grayson Stone Yes Gary vomer No.

1559
01:36:35,824 --> 01:36:42,168
And Bruce Pearce Motion
motion fails 5 to 2 or 2 to 5.

1560
01:36:42,168 --> 01:36:43,608
Sorry I misstated that.

1561
01:36:43,608 --> 01:36:44,868
The motion failed.

1562
01:36:44,868 --> 01:36:47,058
225.

1563
01:36:47,058 --> 01:36:49,668
Any further discussion on that?

1564
01:36:49,668 --> 01:36:54,108
But on the budget itself
as a whole, Grayson stone

1565
01:36:54,108 --> 01:36:56,408
or Grayson, you still
on or do that Oh, no,

1566
01:36:56,408 --> 01:36:57,108
thank you, Mr. Mayor.

1567
01:36:57,108 --> 01:37:01,068
I'd like to make another
substitute motion I move

1568
01:37:01,068 --> 01:37:04,158
that the City of Twin Falls
implement any and all laws

1569
01:37:04,158 --> 01:37:07,338
associated with license plate
reading technology within seven

1570
01:37:07,338 --> 01:37:09,618
days of being signed into law
by the governor with fiscal

1571
01:37:09,618 --> 01:37:13,188
responsibility, the
city to enforce.

1572
01:37:13,188 --> 01:37:14,058
I'll second.

1573
01:37:14,058 --> 01:37:17,778
Hey I have a motion in Grayson.

1574
01:37:17,778 --> 01:37:20,159
I'll have you if you don't
mind reading that again,

1575
01:37:20,159 --> 01:37:22,780
just so I don't have to
necessarily restate it

1576
01:37:22,780 --> 01:37:26,298
similar to Councilman reed's, I
move that the city of Twin Falls

1577
01:37:26,298 --> 01:37:27,918
implement any and all laws.

1578
01:37:27,918 --> 01:37:30,228
Associate with license
plate reading technology.

1579
01:37:30,228 --> 01:37:33,318
With seven days of being
signed into law by the governor

1580
01:37:33,318 --> 01:37:35,568
with fiscal responsible
cities regarding

1581
01:37:35,568 --> 01:37:36,948
the city of Twin Falls.

1582
01:37:36,948 --> 01:37:39,498
So I have a motion by
Councilman stone in a second

1583
01:37:39,498 --> 01:37:43,438
by Councilman Reed on that
motion Any further discussion?

1584
01:37:43,438 --> 01:37:44,238
I just want to be clear.

1585
01:37:44,238 --> 01:37:49,568
So you're saying should the
legislature adopt rules.

1586
01:37:49,568 --> 01:37:52,448
This coming session
starting January?

1587
01:37:52,448 --> 01:37:54,588
Governor signs into
law within seven days?

1588
01:37:54,588 --> 01:37:55,968
We as a city implement those.

1589
01:37:55,968 --> 01:38:04,488
That's correct Is that I like
that idea Is is that is that

1590
01:38:04,488 --> 01:38:09,667
possible I mean so if what
happens is the 7 days,

1591
01:38:09,667 --> 01:38:13,002
I mean, sounds reasonable, but
I don't know if that's something

1592
01:38:13,002 --> 01:38:20,328
that can be done So I just
when we put it time frame on it

1593
01:38:20,328 --> 01:38:22,641
like that, I just want
to make sure that it's

1594
01:38:22,641 --> 01:38:24,798
reasonable Yeah, absolutely.

1595
01:38:24,798 --> 01:38:31,008
I believe First and foremost,
that this is a topic that

1596
01:38:31,008 --> 01:38:33,828
will be for the
Idaho legislature

1597
01:38:33,828 --> 01:38:37,218
and the Idaho legislature
has the ability

1598
01:38:37,218 --> 01:38:43,308
under certain circumstances to
declare that emergency exists

1599
01:38:43,308 --> 01:38:47,238
So the legislature has
typically to effective date one

1600
01:38:47,238 --> 01:38:50,641
is the beginning of their
fiscal year on July 1,

1601
01:38:50,641 --> 01:38:52,638
when emergency may exist.

1602
01:38:52,638 --> 01:38:55,578
They have the ability
to have that go back as

1603
01:38:55,578 --> 01:38:58,758
far as January one,
which would cause

1604
01:38:58,758 --> 01:39:01,548
the city to go into compliance.

1605
01:39:01,548 --> 01:39:04,758
And so the city would move
forward within a seven day

1606
01:39:04,758 --> 01:39:10,548
period to comply with that law
If the Idaho legislature were

1607
01:39:10,548 --> 01:39:16,088
to make the decision
to to comply the ban is

1608
01:39:16,088 --> 01:39:20,658
no longer allow a
prize of any name

1609
01:39:20,658 --> 01:39:23,328
variety inside of the state.

1610
01:39:23,328 --> 01:39:25,848
The first thing that we
would do is toggle the switch

1611
01:39:25,848 --> 01:39:27,708
and turn them off
and then we would

1612
01:39:27,708 --> 01:39:32,808
have to work through a process
to have them physically removed

1613
01:39:32,808 --> 01:39:38,035
from their locations That
might take longer than 7 days,

1614
01:39:38,035 --> 01:39:42,168
but the compliance would be
the collection piece of it.

1615
01:39:42,168 --> 01:39:49,788
What is important to recognize
is it at this point in time,

1616
01:39:49,788 --> 01:39:53,643
I can't share what those rules
and regulations would be.

1617
01:39:53,643 --> 01:40:00,138
But I believe that we
would in our best effort,

1618
01:40:00,138 --> 01:40:04,128
work to comply with all of
the rules and regulations

1619
01:40:04,128 --> 01:40:07,278
as we all took an oath to do so.

1620
01:40:07,278 --> 01:40:11,538
And if we could not do so within
a seven day period of time,

1621
01:40:11,538 --> 01:40:14,238
I would come back and
report to the City Council

1622
01:40:14,238 --> 01:40:17,868
on what that timeframe would
be for us to be able to achieve

1623
01:40:17,868 --> 01:40:24,048
that objective but know that
if they were banned outright,

1624
01:40:24,048 --> 01:40:29,157
we would simply turn
them off Ruth Pierce.

1625
01:40:29,157 --> 01:40:29,657
Yes.

1626
01:40:29,657 --> 01:40:31,998
So I just want to
clarify this motion

1627
01:40:31,998 --> 01:40:36,078
and that you mean keep
the existing contract

1628
01:40:36,078 --> 01:40:40,518
as is with the caveat,
if the governor

1629
01:40:40,518 --> 01:40:44,658
has it within Seven days of
the governor signing the law.

1630
01:40:44,658 --> 01:40:47,152
So your motion is
saying, leave it

1631
01:40:47,152 --> 01:40:54,468
as is with the potential
of this law change.

1632
01:40:54,468 --> 01:40:58,053
Correct But Grayson,
I think, Mr. Mayor.

1633
01:40:58,053 --> 01:40:59,538
Yeah, the previous
motion failed.

1634
01:40:59,538 --> 01:41:01,158
So we got to just do something.

1635
01:41:01,158 --> 01:41:04,128
I think this kind of
settles what we're

1636
01:41:04,128 --> 01:41:07,248
hearing from the general public
is that we'll keep it as is now.

1637
01:41:07,248 --> 01:41:09,228
And then when the legislate
convenes and what,

1638
01:41:09,228 --> 01:41:12,138
January 11th, I'm pretty
sure it will be a hot item.

1639
01:41:12,138 --> 01:41:16,218
And then once legislative
or legislature,

1640
01:41:16,218 --> 01:41:18,423
it's signed into law,
that we're in compliance

1641
01:41:18,423 --> 01:41:19,616
with the seven days.

1642
01:41:19,616 --> 01:41:20,116
OK.

1643
01:41:20,116 --> 01:41:23,358
That being said, I'm
going to vote no on this.

1644
01:41:23,358 --> 01:41:24,138
A motion.

1645
01:41:24,138 --> 01:41:26,688
And the reason
being is we've had

1646
01:41:26,688 --> 01:41:31,188
a couple recommendations by
Chief Hicks on some revisions.

1647
01:41:31,188 --> 01:41:33,918
He would like to see
with the contract.

1648
01:41:33,918 --> 01:41:38,208
And I would like to propose
after we vote on this motion,

1649
01:41:38,208 --> 01:41:44,448
propose accepting adopting
those revisions as amendments

1650
01:41:44,448 --> 01:41:47,818
to the contract Travis.

1651
01:41:47,818 --> 01:41:48,318
Mr..

1652
01:41:48,318 --> 01:41:52,938
Baer Yep not to
play parliamentarian

1653
01:41:52,938 --> 01:41:57,348
but if I were in your
place and you are voting

1654
01:41:57,348 --> 01:41:59,568
it may be important
to understand

1655
01:41:59,568 --> 01:42:04,158
what some of those amendments
would be I'm happy to.

1656
01:42:04,158 --> 01:42:04,698
Go ahead.

1657
01:42:04,698 --> 01:42:11,664
Yes So two things that Chief
Hicks recommended is one,

1658
01:42:11,664 --> 01:42:16,278
we turn off the air Nick
machine learning component

1659
01:42:16,278 --> 01:42:20,088
of the contract
and to do currently

1660
01:42:20,088 --> 01:42:24,318
the Nationals search
function is off.

1661
01:42:24,318 --> 01:42:27,258
I want to make sure
that remains off

1662
01:42:27,258 --> 01:42:32,118
and it's only toggled on
if we have a local crime

1663
01:42:32,118 --> 01:42:35,658
that requires it Okay.

1664
01:42:35,658 --> 01:42:37,938
And the third is,
I'm not sure anywhere

1665
01:42:37,938 --> 01:42:41,478
in here we said that we
authorized chief Hicks to sign

1666
01:42:41,478 --> 01:42:43,728
that a contract as amended.

1667
01:42:43,728 --> 01:42:47,898
So that's what I would propose
if this motion doesn't pass.

1668
01:42:47,898 --> 01:42:49,968
OK Can I ask a question?

1669
01:42:49,968 --> 01:42:52,181
Let me go to Grayson real quick,
and then I'll come to you.

1670
01:42:52,181 --> 01:42:52,938
Chris Go ahead.

1671
01:42:52,938 --> 01:42:54,318
Grayson Oh, thank
you, Mr. Mayor.

1672
01:42:54,318 --> 01:42:56,424
Can we go through
that first motion.

1673
01:42:56,424 --> 01:43:00,487
First and then go to
Councilwoman Pearce's motion ?

1674
01:43:00,487 --> 01:43:02,181
Yeah, we're still
yeah, we're still in.

1675
01:43:02,181 --> 01:43:04,008
I'm not making a
motion and just saying

1676
01:43:04,008 --> 01:43:07,968
I'm voting no because I want to
see revisions We're still taking

1677
01:43:07,968 --> 01:43:09,558
comment on your motion, Chris.

1678
01:43:09,558 --> 01:43:13,293
Read I like both of them.

1679
01:43:13,293 --> 01:43:16,128
I can comfortably
say yes to both

1680
01:43:16,128 --> 01:43:20,898
So yes, do as soon as
the legislature deems

1681
01:43:20,898 --> 01:43:22,638
whatever they deem,
let's move forward

1682
01:43:22,638 --> 01:43:24,078
with it within seven days.

1683
01:43:24,078 --> 01:43:26,598
So again if it's
a dismissal of it,

1684
01:43:26,598 --> 01:43:30,768
if it is a harsher
penalty for misuse of it,

1685
01:43:30,768 --> 01:43:31,968
we move forward with that.

1686
01:43:31,968 --> 01:43:34,728
And I'm completely comfortable.

1687
01:43:34,728 --> 01:43:35,928
I'm comfortable with both.

1688
01:43:35,928 --> 01:43:37,488
I don't really Sorry.

1689
01:43:37,488 --> 01:43:38,268
Go ahead, Grayson.

1690
01:43:38,268 --> 01:43:39,378
I think, Mr. Mayor,
I don't think

1691
01:43:39,378 --> 01:43:41,448
either one of those motions
will conflict with one another.

1692
01:43:41,448 --> 01:43:43,368
I think that's exactly what
we're wanting to accomplish.

1693
01:43:43,368 --> 01:43:45,708
So I'll be voting yes for mine.

1694
01:43:45,708 --> 01:43:51,168
And then probably vote yes
for councilman Pearce's rule.

1695
01:43:51,168 --> 01:43:56,418
Where are we comfortable that
we're handling it properly?

1696
01:43:56,418 --> 01:44:00,528
From a parliamentary
standpoint So

1697
01:44:00,528 --> 01:44:02,902
I don't have bruises
on the line of.

1698
01:44:02,902 --> 01:44:05,358
Yeah, so currently,
we only have we

1699
01:44:05,358 --> 01:44:07,488
only have a motion
to accept the seven

1700
01:44:07,488 --> 01:44:11,958
day adherence to state law.

1701
01:44:11,958 --> 01:44:15,288
My understanding
and correct me is

1702
01:44:15,288 --> 01:44:19,398
that we would need to amend
either the current motion to add

1703
01:44:19,398 --> 01:44:21,408
what you wanted to
do or we would have

1704
01:44:21,408 --> 01:44:23,238
to vote on the current
motion and then

1705
01:44:23,238 --> 01:44:27,708
rerun a motion including the
comments that you've made.

1706
01:44:27,708 --> 01:44:33,168
Both would be appropriate
because I have a third.

1707
01:44:33,168 --> 01:44:35,161
So that's all right.

1708
01:44:35,161 --> 01:44:39,678
I guess I'm again confused
because this motion

1709
01:44:39,678 --> 01:44:45,378
that you guys just made assumes
we keep the contract as is.

1710
01:44:45,378 --> 01:44:46,527
And that's correct.

1711
01:44:46,527 --> 01:44:48,109
She said So I just
want to make sure.

1712
01:44:48,109 --> 01:44:49,309
But it could be amended.

1713
01:44:49,309 --> 01:44:53,046
I mean, it's just whatever the
state comes in I apologize.

1714
01:44:53,046 --> 01:44:54,006
So we have Bruce.

1715
01:44:54,006 --> 01:45:05,598
OK We have Bruce Bruce's
online Bruce, are you there

1716
01:45:05,598 --> 01:45:15,708
Echo is negative and the he's on
a fax machine, so I'm sure are.

1717
01:45:15,708 --> 01:45:21,288
Are all the mikes
off Okay, Bruce let's

1718
01:45:21,288 --> 01:45:28,158
try that one more time Hello?

1719
01:45:28,158 --> 01:45:29,178
Can you hear me?

1720
01:45:29,178 --> 01:45:31,368
We can hear you now.

1721
01:45:31,368 --> 01:45:32,148
Yes.

1722
01:45:32,148 --> 01:45:35,628
I think it would be important
to specify by that Grayson's

1723
01:45:35,628 --> 01:45:41,208
motion is not a motion to accept
the contract as it was proposed.

1724
01:45:41,208 --> 01:45:44,028
But you could still approve
the rest of that motion Which

1725
01:45:44,028 --> 01:45:47,898
is as far as what the city
does upon legislative action

1726
01:45:47,898 --> 01:45:51,558
That way, the two motions would
not be contradictory but if you

1727
01:45:51,558 --> 01:45:55,128
were to approve Grayson's
motion as accepting the contract

1728
01:45:55,128 --> 01:45:59,838
as is, then that could preclude
a further action to put

1729
01:45:59,838 --> 01:46:07,338
in any amendments to it Go
ahead Hey, Grayson Stone,

1730
01:46:07,338 --> 01:46:09,468
If we make if we
approve my motion

1731
01:46:09,468 --> 01:46:12,078
and then ruth passes
her motion, wouldn't

1732
01:46:12,078 --> 01:46:16,608
that essentially accomplish the
exact same thing at one meeting?

1733
01:46:16,608 --> 01:46:21,468
I would recommend is
Grayson with your motion

1734
01:46:21,468 --> 01:46:26,898
to state that you are open
to amendments to the contract

1735
01:46:26,898 --> 01:46:28,685
as it currently sits?

1736
01:46:28,685 --> 01:46:29,782
Right.

1737
01:46:29,782 --> 01:46:30,879
OK.

1738
01:46:30,879 --> 01:46:34,488
Okay Thank you, Bruce.

1739
01:46:34,488 --> 01:46:41,598
So Grayson, I'll let you address
Bruce's comments there and then

1740
01:46:41,598 --> 01:46:47,238
so, uh, Mr. Mayor, thank you I
would amend my previous motion

1741
01:46:47,238 --> 01:46:50,898
to move that the city to in
Falls implement any and all laws

1742
01:46:50,898 --> 01:46:54,948
associated with license plate
reading technology within seven

1743
01:46:54,948 --> 01:46:58,218
days of being signed
into law by the governor

1744
01:46:58,218 --> 01:47:01,758
And our current contract
shall be open to amendments

1745
01:47:01,758 --> 01:47:06,018
per chief's recommendations
and approved by Council

1746
01:47:06,018 --> 01:47:08,058
and approved by Council
Chris, you were this.

1747
01:47:08,058 --> 01:47:08,628
Absolutely.

1748
01:47:08,628 --> 01:47:13,128
Okay So we have a motion
and a second on the table.

1749
01:47:13,128 --> 01:47:17,328
Any further discussion Okay.

1750
01:47:17,328 --> 01:47:18,048
Amy, roll call.

1751
01:47:18,048 --> 01:47:23,748
Vote, please Grayson Stone

Greg Hawkins yes.

1754
01:47:26,988 --> 01:47:28,488
Chris Reed Yes.

1755
01:47:28,488 --> 01:47:29,178
Bruce Pierce.

1756
01:47:29,178 --> 01:47:30,661
Yes Sherri vomer.

1757
01:47:30,661 --> 01:47:31,161
Yes.

1758
01:47:31,161 --> 01:47:31,661
Okay.

1759
01:47:31,661 --> 01:47:34,908
Motion carries 720.

1760
01:47:34,908 --> 01:47:36,438
Any further discussion?

1761
01:47:36,438 --> 01:47:40,128
Ruth Pierce Okay, I'm
going to attempt my motion.

1762
01:47:40,128 --> 01:47:42,138
Should be short.

1763
01:47:42,138 --> 01:47:42,678
I move.

1764
01:47:42,678 --> 01:47:44,898
We accept the current
flock contract

1765
01:47:44,898 --> 01:47:49,218
with the following revisions
One Turn off the eye

1766
01:47:49,218 --> 01:47:52,218
machine learning
component of the contract

1767
01:47:52,218 --> 01:47:57,138
to the National search function
remains off unless twin falls.

1768
01:47:57,138 --> 01:48:01,338
Please PD needs access
for a local crime

1769
01:48:01,338 --> 01:48:06,678
and three authorized chief
to sign the contract Okay.

1770
01:48:06,678 --> 01:48:07,788
I have a motion on the table.

1771
01:48:07,788 --> 01:48:08,628
Do I have a second?

1772
01:48:08,628 --> 01:48:10,668
Nathan Murray Yeah, I'm.

1773
01:48:10,668 --> 01:48:11,508
I'm willing to segment.

1774
01:48:11,508 --> 01:48:12,558
I would ask.

1775
01:48:12,558 --> 01:48:14,538
I know we talked
about at one point

1776
01:48:14,538 --> 01:48:18,708
a regular reporting mechanism
from police to this council,

1777
01:48:18,708 --> 01:48:21,258
perhaps on a quarterly
basis outlining just

1778
01:48:21,258 --> 01:48:23,358
some of the use they've
seen Is that would

1779
01:48:23,358 --> 01:48:25,038
you be amenable to adding
that to your motion?

1780
01:48:25,038 --> 01:48:27,588
I'm not going to include
that in my motion

1781
01:48:27,588 --> 01:48:30,438
because I think we have
to kind of set parameters

1782
01:48:30,438 --> 01:48:31,788
and maybe we do.

1783
01:48:31,788 --> 01:48:37,008
I had not in our staff to we can
come back with a recommendation.

1784
01:48:37,008 --> 01:48:42,978
We can agree to do periodic
reporting if that's of interest

1785
01:48:42,978 --> 01:48:46,428
to the council I would ask
you to consider the motion

1786
01:48:46,428 --> 01:48:47,748
and then I'll go.

1787
01:48:47,748 --> 01:48:50,088
So, Nathan, are you accepting?

1788
01:48:50,088 --> 01:48:53,478
Okay, so we have a
motion and a second.

1789
01:48:53,478 --> 01:48:58,018
Any discussion on that motion
from the council Okay Amy,

1790
01:48:58,018 --> 01:48:58,518
roll call.

1791
01:48:58,518 --> 01:49:00,138
Vote, please Raise.

1792
01:49:00,138 --> 01:49:01,878
Pearce Yes or read.

1793
01:49:01,878 --> 01:49:02,418
Yes.

1794
01:49:02,418 --> 01:49:03,138
Greg Hawkins.

1795
01:49:03,138 --> 01:49:04,368
Yes Jason Brown.

1796
01:49:04,368 --> 01:49:05,568
Yes.

1797
01:49:05,568 --> 01:49:06,106
Yes.

1798
01:49:06,106 --> 01:49:06,918
Grayson Stone.

1799
01:49:06,918 --> 01:49:08,508
No And Nathan Murray?

1800
01:49:08,508 --> 01:49:10,608
Yes Motion carries.

1801
01:49:10,608 --> 01:49:20,478
Six two one Okay, so as we
move continue to move forward,

1802
01:49:20,478 --> 01:49:21,978
I think Travis, you
heard that there

1803
01:49:21,978 --> 01:49:24,006
is an interest from
the council at least

1804
01:49:24,006 --> 01:49:26,178
to provide some
level of we will do

1805
01:49:26,178 --> 01:49:28,698
that as we as we move forward.

1806
01:49:28,698 --> 01:49:31,128
We will do that and we'll do
that at open council meetings

1807
01:49:31,128 --> 01:49:35,448
Okay, Chris, read, I'd
like to discuss the budget.

1808
01:49:35,448 --> 01:49:38,178
If that's the right
move forward Go ahead.

1809
01:49:38,178 --> 01:49:40,462
First, I want to say
thank you to everybody

1810
01:49:40,462 --> 01:49:41,748
You said it's a group effort.

1811
01:49:41,748 --> 01:49:44,508
There is 60 some
individuals that helped

1812
01:49:44,508 --> 01:49:48,108
put this together for I don't
know how many people presented.

1813
01:49:48,108 --> 01:49:48,978
They're not all here.

1814
01:49:48,978 --> 01:49:50,718
But thank them, please.

1815
01:49:50,718 --> 01:49:52,338
They spent a Monday
evening with us.

1816
01:49:52,338 --> 01:49:53,358
And we do appreciate that.

1817
01:49:53,358 --> 01:49:58,368
So, Ruth, I don't know if you i
just want to add that I talked

1818
01:49:58,368 --> 01:50:03,318
to a lot of other organizations
and no one that I'm aware

1819
01:50:03,318 --> 01:50:06,768
goes to the extent of
talking about the budget

1820
01:50:06,768 --> 01:50:10,878
as much as we do And we joke
about it being 13 weeks,

1821
01:50:10,878 --> 01:50:14,718
but it's very very informative
for not only council,

1822
01:50:14,718 --> 01:50:16,188
but the entire community.

1823
01:50:16,188 --> 01:50:20,898
And I appreciate it I'm
ready to make a motion.

1824
01:50:20,898 --> 01:50:22,128
Mayor all right.

1825
01:50:22,128 --> 01:50:24,384
Anybody else want to
add in the comments?

1826
01:50:24,384 --> 01:50:30,858
Go ahead, Chris I move that we
adopt ordinance 008 dash 2026

1827
01:50:30,858 --> 01:50:34,338
of the city of Twin
Falls adopting the 2026,

1828
01:50:34,338 --> 01:50:38,208
2027 fiscal year budget for the
city of Twin Falls in the amount

1829
01:50:38,208 --> 01:50:47,628
of $96,547,281, beginning on
October 1, 2026, and ending

1830
01:50:47,628 --> 01:50:50,508
on September 30, 2027.

1831
01:50:50,508 --> 01:50:51,468
I'll second that.

1832
01:50:51,468 --> 01:50:55,998
I have a motion and a second to
approve ordinance number 2020

1833
01:50:55,998 --> 01:51:01,918
6-008 as written and presented
in the meeting tonight Mr.

1834
01:51:01,918 --> 01:51:02,418
Mayor.

1835
01:51:02,418 --> 01:51:05,468
Yes, Travis if you would
like for this to be approved.

1836
01:51:05,468 --> 01:51:09,348
This evening, you need
to suspend the rules

1837
01:51:09,348 --> 01:51:11,268
or we can have you do that.

1838
01:51:11,268 --> 01:51:12,468
Chris, Do you want to do that?

1839
01:51:12,468 --> 01:51:16,218
First I move that we dispense
with the reading rules and put

1840
01:51:16,218 --> 01:51:22,578
ordinance 008 dash 2026.

1841
01:51:22,578 --> 01:51:25,878
Sorry, my eyesight that I
apologize on third and final

1842
01:51:25,878 --> 01:51:29,028

01:51:39,228 --> 01:51:41,628

1846
01:51:41,628 --> 01:51:45,828
Any further discussion
I need to read

01:51:45,828 --> 01:51:49,244

make sure I do it properly or do

1849
01:51:50,358 --> 01:51:50,928
I'm good.

1850
01:51:50,928 --> 01:51:51,618
