1
00:00:00,590 --> 00:00:08,850
We will conduct an initial vote. If any candidate gets three votes at that point, the nomination

2
00:00:08,850 --> 00:00:16,090
process is over and we'll submit that nomination council. If that doesn't happen, we have to

3
00:00:16,090 --> 00:00:22,850
also split. We will have some discussion. The lowest vote totals will be dropped out and

4
00:00:22,850 --> 00:00:25,010
then we'll have a subsequent vote on who's remaining.

5
00:00:27,550 --> 00:00:30,330
So, shall we clear over going to do tonight?

6
00:00:32,980 --> 00:00:33,340
Thank you.

7
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:34,380
Thank you.

8
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:35,700
Thank you, everyone, for coming.

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,460
We appreciate that.

10
00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:40,960
Our first candidate tonight is Michael Hemingson,

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,080
and he is joining us virtually.

12
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:49,150
So, yep.

13
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:50,670
Excuse me.

14
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,160
Mr. Hemingson, if you'd like to unmute yourself.

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,060
Let's see here.

16
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:00,140
Can you all hear me?

17
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:09,540
Okay. All right. Hello. Thank you very much for allowing me to interview our virtually here.

18
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:16,220
Right. On our first question comes to you from older industry look up.

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,020
But Sheridan, we need him visually.

20
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,940
This camera is that on? Can you show your camera?

21
00:01:26,940 --> 00:01:41,580
of course, let me see here. I wonder, select a microphone, select a speaker, oh my goodness.

22
00:01:42,660 --> 00:01:43,340
The video,

23
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:48,590
allow, I'm sorry.

24
00:02:02,820 --> 00:02:06,720
You can't see me by any chance now, can you?

25
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:12,700
So, I'm sorry, I'm more of a team's guy here.

26
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:13,920
I'm sure.

27
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:16,580
No, I'm not.

28
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,740
I'm not a video.

29
00:02:18,460 --> 00:02:19,580
I'm here in my video.

30
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:23,820
What are going to go ahead?

31
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:25,480
I would like.

32
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,020
I would like to see you.

33
00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:27,220
Sure.

34
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,260
I'm here for you.

35
00:02:28,420 --> 00:02:28,600
Yeah.

36
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,120
You dropped out.

37
00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:41,350
You apologize for this guy.

38
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:06,940
Let's try to take a while.

39
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,000
You know, as long as we have one candidate in person here,

40
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,300
why don't we go to that interview.

41
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,120
and then that Mr. Amyson come on when he's able.

42
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,600
Is that fair?

43
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,580
Yeah, I agree.

44
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Mark's having a chance.

45
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,520
It's a fair thing.

46
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:23,140
That's it.

47
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:24,000
That's a fair thing, Canada.

48
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,560
Okay, is it okay with Canada today?

49
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:26,780
I think he's here and he's ready.

50
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:27,980
And he got here early.

51
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:30,880
It's always not creepy, first.

52
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:31,460
I know.

53
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,020
I know.

54
00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:35,340
My philosophy, my entire life, fair.

55
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,560
So our first question will come to you, Mr. Myers,

56
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,020
from August to Luca?

57
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,540
Good afternoon.

58
00:03:49,780 --> 00:03:54,340
First question is, why are you interested in serving as an older person, then how do you

59
00:03:54,340 --> 00:03:57,760
personal and professional experiences qualify you for this position?

60
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,820
First of all, again, thank you for your time this evening and the honor of being considered.

61
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,840
I think the answer to your question is, I'm on a personal side.

62
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:17,160
You know, I've moved to Wawatoza eight years ago. I started as a renter on 83rd Street. I've had that

63
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:24,160
experience in the city and in my own district. We became homeowners in 2020 and what an experience

64
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:33,520
that was and my had the joy of seeing both my district and my kids sort of flourished in that time.

65
00:04:34,180 --> 00:04:41,560
My kids attended curiosity corner, McKinley Elementary, now Christ King, and it's been a

66
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,440
flutter to see them moving around the district, enjoying it, and then at time also the district

67
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,240
has changed a little bit too. It's been great to see joy ice cream come online. Fortunately,

68
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:59,160
this time of year I'm probably there more often than I should be, or, you know, Lion's Tale moved.

69
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:09,820
Moving into the old law and garden space. And so that's, I think I would like to be a part of more of that. I'd like to continue to see

70
00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:24,520
safe district for my children and my neighbors move around and then I'd like to continue to see a flourish. And then professionally, I think what I bring to the table is as a chief operating officer of a company. I understand that is

71
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:30,140
And he even take a budget's short term, medium term, long term planning.

72
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,440
I know what it means to hire.

73
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,020
I know what it means to fire in the consequences that come with that.

74
00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:42,160
And so I think I have a lot to offer both of my district and the city.

75
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,780
And so I wanted to put myself forward and take the shot.

76
00:05:46,060 --> 00:05:47,700
Great. Thank you.

77
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,460
Your question from Alder Dolan.

78
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,080
What are your priorities for the city and the sixth district?

79
00:05:58,820 --> 00:06:02,560
Gosh, I mean, I feel like the sixth district has got a lot going on.

80
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:05,840
It's exciting.

81
00:06:07,980 --> 00:06:10,700
Again, I think it's a little bit of a crossroads.

82
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,620
It's no pun intended with the activity that's coming on North Avenue soon.

83
00:06:15,020 --> 00:06:18,880
I think one of the priorities for the district is seeing the space

84
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:27,700
over-behind Pius, the spade, the parking lot between mid and Lizo Elementary developed responsibly

85
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:35,260
in a timely manner and get some important that it not get continued to get dragged out

86
00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:40,880
indefinitely. I went for a jog around earlier this afternoon and it'd be great to see

87
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,320
something else there, but respecting the fact that there's a school immediately across the street

88
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,380
and we're given a thing that comes with that.

89
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:49,920
Obviously, I mentioned North Avenue,

90
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:54,040
that's going to be a big project coming in the next few years.

91
00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:57,260
And then I think more medium to long-term

92
00:06:57,940 --> 00:07:01,100
is the space just across the road from us here,

93
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,820
the current long-fella site.

94
00:07:03,620 --> 00:07:06,000
If the school district, in fact,

95
00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:07,820
moves forward with some of its plans,

96
00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:10,360
you have in prime property in the middle

97
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,520
of our city right across from our city hall

98
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,080
that is going to need to be developed.

99
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,780
And again, developers constantly,

100
00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:30,040
Like a lot of people I love quick trip. I hate to see one there. So again, it's I think that that's a priority in for the city. Why just to touch on that I think continue to economic development, but responsible economic development.

101
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:44,780
I don't think it makes sense to have high rises in certain places and I don't think it makes sense like I just mentioned have a gas station and a little of a certain space either so anyway that's.

102
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:57,580
I think it's, I mean, obviously the city has got a budget deficit that it needs to address.

103
00:07:58,460 --> 00:08:06,220
And at the same time, continue to fund the critical city services, you know, fire police,

104
00:08:06,220 --> 00:08:18,080
But that's strange safety obviously, that's a big one for me, but, you know, floods, obviously created certain budgetary constraints that have to be addressed.

105
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:24,220
So I think it's again managing this ability of providing city services, while also

106
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:27,780
Continuity and economic development.

107
00:08:30,330 --> 00:08:31,230
All right.

108
00:08:34,140 --> 00:08:34,640
Thank you.

109
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:38,960
Our next question comes to you for all of your gust of sun.

110
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,240
And it is, first of all, thank you for taking here.

111
00:08:42,540 --> 00:08:43,660
And I think there's somebody that's better

112
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:46,500
in this role to see it all over France and also,

113
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,680
we've been doing this here for about six months.

114
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:49,580
It's not the most delightful.

115
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040
By the question that I had was,

116
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:55,640
what role does I'm going to development

117
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,640
and play in the space financial health

118
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,520
and does tax and incremental financing have a role in this?

119
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:05,080
I think that to,

120
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,720
we need continue development,

121
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Again, I mentioned Joy Ice Cream earlier, and for those of you, I think, who all remember

122
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:22,520
maybe driving up and down North Avenue, it was an old gas station that was a bit of an

123
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:31,020
ice ore. And so it is, I think, the shining example of what his joy has built to have a thriving

124
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:36,620
business that fits with the neighborhood, that fits with the city. And so I think,

125
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:47,720
Okay, we can't have ice cream shops on every corner, but things like that are a huge opportunity to make this a city that more and more people want to live in.

126
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:59,970
I believe that TIFF or tax and criminal districts, I think there's that.

127
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,400
Absolutely a place. It's trying to understand what the trade-offs are. The development, I mentioned

128
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:15,650
across the street here. I don't see that. I'm like open the correction. I think all proposals should

129
00:10:15,650 --> 00:10:20,230
be considered fairly and openly, but that's a prime piece of property. I think that it can be

130
00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:29,090
developed responsibly without the city having to defer some tax in a short term. I think in

131
00:10:29,090 --> 00:10:33,490
other areas of the city. It presents an opportunity to

132
00:10:34,670 --> 00:10:38,370
encourage investment and development in a way that again

133
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:45,930
wouldn't happen without it. And so like all things, there's a balance in act.

134
00:10:46,530 --> 00:10:48,770
It's about listening to people. It's about listening to judging

135
00:10:49,410 --> 00:10:53,370
proposals fairly and then partially, but I think that

136
00:10:53,370 --> 00:11:00,710
It's a great tool to have a city's back pocket when it makes sense.

137
00:11:00,710 --> 00:11:01,030
Okay.

138
00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:03,490
You go.

139
00:11:04,050 --> 00:11:04,790
Other folate.

140
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,620
My question is, is part of being all good for us?

141
00:11:12,020 --> 00:11:14,760
You will be presented with decisions about taxes and budget.

142
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,340
What would be your priority in allocating the limited resources?

143
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:22,140
I mean, I

144
00:11:25,270 --> 00:11:30,130
suppose on it a little bit already public safety and emergency response

145
00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:38,550
are critical part of what the city should be providing, and so when it comes to things that

146
00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:43,790
need to be absolutely prioritized, that goes right to the top of the list for me. I think that

147
00:11:43,790 --> 00:11:53,370
other essential services, sewer is one water, things like that that affect the quality of life

148
00:11:53,370 --> 00:11:55,870
day to day for people need to be protected.

149
00:11:58,410 --> 00:12:01,570
As I've seen in my own business career and I know

150
00:12:01,570 --> 00:12:08,030
that the city faces these sorts of questions all the time, deferring certain investment, deferring

151
00:12:08,030 --> 00:12:19,370
certain decisions is part of the job. And so I think that as we look at certain things,

152
00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:27,630
I know that currently the city hall refurbishment is a part of that, that's a big thing coming

153
00:12:27,630 --> 00:12:32,330
up, but understanding the given take, and it's, I think, also explaining that taking

154
00:12:32,330 --> 00:12:37,830
constituents, what those gives and takes are, you know, if we're spending money here, it

155
00:12:37,830 --> 00:12:43,130
might mean we can do this other project today, it's not that it's not worth investing

156
00:12:43,130 --> 00:13:01,630
And then it's just we have to pick certain things to prioritize first and vice versa, you know, I think that revenue is obviously a part of this and if revenue is needing to be increased and lined with, you know, stay laws and city laws.

157
00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:09,130
It's explaining what's happening with that money where it's being invested how it's being invested, but I think there's

158
00:13:09,690 --> 00:13:25,650
Again, the core things to me are keeping people safe, keeping pedestrians safe, you know, I think some of the development around the city has been great, you know, some of the bulk bouts over in our district have been great.

159
00:13:27,090 --> 00:13:29,270
So I don't know if that answers your question, I should hope it does.

160
00:13:29,270 --> 00:13:34,250
You mentioned deferring is part of the job, you mean

161
00:13:36,460 --> 00:14:00,460
there could be 10 great proposals in front of Council and on their own merits individually all are worth the city's investment all are worth the city's staff's time to chase down to be particulars, but perhaps there's only funding for seven out of ten in my hypothetical.

162
00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:05,500
And so three worthwhile things have to be set aside.

163
00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:10,200
And to me, it's, those are difficult decisions to make,

164
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:15,020
because again, they're worth, in my case, they're worth the investment,

165
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:16,640
but we may just have to wait.

166
00:14:16,980 --> 00:14:20,340
And I think it's understanding when certain things are deferred,

167
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,680
that there's a consequence, right, deferred maintenance.

168
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,820
If it starts compounding the problem,

169
00:14:27,820 --> 00:14:33,340
and exponentially is going to create a much larger problem in the future.

170
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:39,840
I think, again, that's the consideration at the beginning that needs to go into it,

171
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,580
where it's paid with gosh, we don't do this today and we do it in five years.

172
00:14:44,940 --> 00:14:47,220
There's a massive impact on the city's budget.

173
00:14:47,780 --> 00:14:52,580
And so again, it's understanding that and communicating that back into the community.

174
00:14:54,780 --> 00:14:55,500
Thank you.

175
00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:55,880
Good afternoon.

176
00:14:59,400 --> 00:14:59,740
Thank you.

177
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,960
There's a fifth question.

178
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:14,220
What do you like, Troy? I love it. Two scopes is always where my heart is, but my stomach is, but my brain tells you a good answer.

179
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:16,460
Well, thank you very much for coming in.

180
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:17,140
Thank you very much.

181
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,440
Thank you.

182
00:15:18,540 --> 00:15:20,300
Well, thank you very much for coming in.

183
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:21,000
Thank you.

184
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,500
Thank you.

185
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:22,820
Thank you.

186
00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:27,460
Thank you.

187
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:37,300
Yeah, your child has that one. Yes, yeah, it's very good. Yeah, so it's a special destination spot for me for that reason. Absolutely. Nice reading. Yeah, nice reading. Yeah, nice reading. Thanks a lot.

188
00:15:37,940 --> 00:15:39,160
I should have time.

189
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,980
Well, Mr. Hope is next.

190
00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:53,640
But he's not here. Well, I stopped up bigger than the hallway. So did you want to try to see it like?

191
00:15:54,460 --> 00:15:56,980
Yeah, we might have a peek in hallway and see if he was there.

192
00:15:56,980 --> 00:15:57,580
Yeah.

193
00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:01,840
Let's see, yeah, go ahead and check.

194
00:16:02,220 --> 00:16:03,280
What's this? What do we do?

195
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,340
This is a famous for six to money. What's his name?

196
00:16:05,540 --> 00:16:05,760
Water?

197
00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:07,380
Water.

198
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,000
Okay.

199
00:16:28,630 --> 00:16:31,090
I rang like skills are top notch. I got to water.

200
00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:32,470
Who will that?

201
00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:32,890
All right.

202
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:35,070
Mr. Hold, this is your hot seat.

203
00:16:35,270 --> 00:16:35,290
Sorry.

204
00:16:35,450 --> 00:16:36,470
Can I have a seat in the gallery?

205
00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:39,530
It's even red.

206
00:16:40,670 --> 00:16:41,370
That's right.

207
00:16:41,810 --> 00:16:42,410
Thank you.

208
00:16:42,530 --> 00:16:43,810
Thank you for coming yet.

209
00:16:46,990 --> 00:16:52,840
Can you somehow get a message to Hemingson that we should for seven o'clock for him?

210
00:16:53,610 --> 00:16:55,270
Okay, thank you.

211
00:16:55,530 --> 00:16:55,850
So, welcome.

212
00:16:56,590 --> 00:17:01,850
What we're doing is conducting six interviews tonight and each of the candidates for the

213
00:17:01,850 --> 00:17:03,690
ask to answer the same four questions.

214
00:17:05,530 --> 00:17:06,630
So, we'll start you off.

215
00:17:06,970 --> 00:17:08,850
We have all there's to look up

216
00:17:11,470 --> 00:17:12,790
this first question.

217
00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:14,640
Thank you.

218
00:17:16,110 --> 00:17:24,610
All right, first off, why are you interested in serving as an older person and how do your personal and professional experiences qualify you for this appointment?

219
00:17:26,730 --> 00:17:41,110
Well, I have been a lot of things in my life already and it's, I look at this as an opportunity to get my feet wet kind of at the face level here.

220
00:17:41,110 --> 00:18:04,210
Um, I volunteered at a couple of different things and, you know, I'm still looking for that place for me here in my older life here and I saw this pop up and just grab my attention and I might be worth the try.

221
00:18:05,070 --> 00:18:10,300
And to kind of back up some of my background a little bit,

222
00:18:12,790 --> 00:18:16,890
problem in my biggest one is being at the VA in Tucson.

223
00:18:18,410 --> 00:18:21,310
And I was in RN, I worked ICU.

224
00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:27,330
I also was charged a lot in ICU.

225
00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:37,370
I was pep to run the implementation for the electronic documentation system for PECU and

226
00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:45,490
the ICU and stepped down and from there I was picked to go on to Philospatius, Philospatius,

227
00:18:45,490 --> 00:18:50,290
Philospatius, Philospatius, and Philospatius in the director's office working with the GVS staff.

228
00:18:50,290 --> 00:18:53,330
I ended up being there for four and a half years.

229
00:18:55,450 --> 00:18:59,030
And basically learning a hospital,

230
00:18:59,850 --> 00:19:05,190
the Sevehix, the Southern Arizona healthcare system for BA,

231
00:19:06,970 --> 00:19:08,810
was the third largest employer.

232
00:19:09,950 --> 00:19:14,610
Plus, we interfaced with all the hospitals in the area.

233
00:19:14,930 --> 00:19:18,070
We interfaced with all the military in the area.

234
00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:27,070
So, during the day, even though we may have only 2,000 employees, we ballooned to over

235
00:19:27,070 --> 00:19:32,510
10,000 people that were coming in daily, coming in, going out.

236
00:19:33,230 --> 00:19:37,770
And we monitored everything from police, fire department,

237
00:19:39,950 --> 00:19:41,870
control problems with pharmacy, which

238
00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:51,470
is a big issue with veterans dealing with disruptive veterans. Basically running the hospital

239
00:19:51,470 --> 00:19:58,770
and it was basically the director's office. There were four directors, the main director,

240
00:19:58,770 --> 00:19:59,970
than the director of...

241
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:11,680
Kind of the electrical and mechanical stuff, and then the CNL nurse for all the nurses and then

242
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:19,620
Dr. Susoni, which is where I fell into. And we took care of all the doctors. But at any time,

243
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:29,640
we had to fill all the other positions. So somebody got sick, was gone. And a lot of VA's tend to be

244
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,940
a stop-and-drop, it's where people stop to get their experience in and go on.

245
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:44,920
And because of that, people were going to other visits, other facilities, and so it fell

246
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:51,500
upon the administrative area, the executive administrators, to help fill that role.

247
00:20:52,140 --> 00:20:52,300
Right.

248
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:52,360
Right.

249
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:53,740
And that's what we did.

250
00:20:53,740 --> 00:21:01,340
we filled it. And it was everything from budgeting to contracting to whatever it took to keep

251
00:21:01,340 --> 00:21:07,120
the hospital rolling. Great. Excellent. Question two to all to go.

252
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:11,080
Hi, thank you for being here.

253
00:21:11,180 --> 00:21:16,890
What are your priorities for the city and also for the sixth district as all the person?

254
00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:25,310
This is like overall, one, I think you guys have been good jobs, sorry, I think these

255
00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:25,810
I apologize.

256
00:21:26,850 --> 00:21:27,810
You know, let's shut that down.

257
00:21:28,290 --> 00:21:28,550
Go ahead.

258
00:21:30,370 --> 00:21:32,810
But yeah, we're over my appalling pretty, pretty, guys.

259
00:21:33,390 --> 00:21:42,130
I really think you guys are doing a great job and I'm physically active, so I bike, I run,

260
00:21:42,130 --> 00:21:50,990
I walk the dog three times a day, and I go through all different parts of, well, what

261
00:21:50,990 --> 00:21:57,230
tells us, and I just think it's a beautiful place to be in, so you guys have done a wonderful

262
00:21:57,230 --> 00:21:57,690
job.

263
00:21:58,490 --> 00:22:06,270
But I think as events go on and life comes up, I think, you know, we've got priorities and

264
00:22:06,270 --> 00:22:14,370
police, fire, you know, last summer we had a hiccup with

265
00:22:14,370 --> 00:22:22,510
monomony river and so, you know, emergency situations, we've been dodging tornadoes this year

266
00:22:22,510 --> 00:22:29,950
or anything. So, you know, I don't know how you respond to those by knowing to be, we have

267
00:22:29,950 --> 00:22:33,850
response team that was self-reduing that.

268
00:22:36,650 --> 00:22:44,070
I think those are probably a two major ones plus, you know, fixing the infrastructure

269
00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:52,130
where you can't, I don't know, where the county ends and momentosa picks up, but, you know,

270
00:22:52,270 --> 00:22:58,790
there's the infrastructure here, you know, water is important, garbage pick-up is important,

271
00:22:58,790 --> 00:23:03,370
you know being able to pick up debris from everything I'm sure maintenance

272
00:23:03,370 --> 00:23:09,690
for the streets you know and there's a lot of things there that have to be

273
00:23:09,690 --> 00:23:16,760
done and they have their own situations and if I throw something there around and

274
00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:23,030
I'm sure you guys you people are into a lot of different things that I'm not

275
00:23:23,030 --> 00:23:33,610
we're up and probably are just as important as those are, so you know, that's just, you know, me at my, uh,

276
00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:35,710
um, Libyan, uh, experience.

277
00:23:37,890 --> 00:23:43,590
Okay. Um, but so Mr. Chair, may I interject one point one point of order? Sure. Um,

278
00:23:43,850 --> 00:23:50,630
sure. Do you live at 2046 Northman Omni River Parkway? I do. That is not in district six. It is district seven.

279
00:23:51,610 --> 00:23:54,510
Oh, that changed, yes.

280
00:23:54,910 --> 00:23:55,350
Oh.

281
00:23:56,790 --> 00:23:57,230
I just didn't.

282
00:23:58,010 --> 00:23:58,950
Oh, good catch.

283
00:24:01,010 --> 00:24:01,450
Yeah.

284
00:24:01,630 --> 00:24:03,910
So that is, I bet.

285
00:24:04,230 --> 00:24:07,210
Calculation in my part, we've already run across the situation before.

286
00:24:07,470 --> 00:24:07,790
All right.

287
00:24:08,810 --> 00:24:10,730
I want to know what this, so I will just try to have the people.

288
00:24:10,730 --> 00:24:11,150
Yeah.

289
00:24:11,150 --> 00:24:11,530
I apologize.

290
00:24:12,190 --> 00:24:13,230
But that's fine.

291
00:24:13,530 --> 00:24:15,230
A few of you have been outside the district.

292
00:24:15,650 --> 00:24:16,190
It's not exactly.

293
00:24:16,810 --> 00:24:18,570
Not because of what you just said.

294
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:19,230
Yeah.

295
00:24:19,230 --> 00:24:29,050
Yeah. It's not a technicality. It's no, I knew that before. I didn't even think of that. Yeah, you're in the soil. You're in the soil. That's fine.

296
00:24:29,770 --> 00:24:36,650
Okay, so you can run for office in the seventh history at some point, but yeah, you can't apply for this job.

297
00:24:37,570 --> 00:24:37,750
Yeah.

298
00:24:38,350 --> 00:24:43,990
Thank you, Samantha. I want to have me know, and I should have opened my thank you for your service to the VA. I'm, you know, on a whole thank you for it.

299
00:24:44,030 --> 00:24:44,650
Are you welcome?

300
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:47,130
It sounds like you did an amazing job here,

301
00:24:49,230 --> 00:24:53,090
but thank you for explaining question number two as well, so yes.

302
00:24:53,570 --> 00:24:53,710
Yeah.

303
00:24:53,910 --> 00:24:53,930
Okay.

304
00:24:54,810 --> 00:24:55,290
How?

305
00:24:56,230 --> 00:24:59,210
And other comments if you want for the three and four?

306
00:24:59,550 --> 00:24:59,930
No, we don't.

307
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,600
No, I can't consider you. I had a bit of a surrogate living outside the district,

308
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,680
but yes, thank you very much.

309
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:18,520
And again, you guys have done a wonderful job here, and we call it the Emerald City City.

310
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,440
So, okay.

311
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,120
Thanks a lot.

312
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,320
Thank you for all great feedback.

313
00:25:21,340 --> 00:25:21,900
Thanks for coming.

314
00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:22,480
It's an apply.

315
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,500
You're welcome.

316
00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:24,120
You're interested.

317
00:25:27,470 --> 00:25:27,870
Okay.

318
00:25:29,830 --> 00:25:31,630
We'll not go to...

319
00:25:32,290 --> 00:25:32,950
Oh, thanks.

320
00:25:33,070 --> 00:25:33,870
Mr. Chesapeake.

321
00:25:36,310 --> 00:25:37,010
A little bit early.

322
00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:42,020
It's not gonna help you if you're meeting a lot of the time.

323
00:25:45,580 --> 00:25:46,400
Okay, yeah.

324
00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:47,520
Four questions.

325
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,580
Same four questions for all candidates.

326
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:50,980
You have a five-minute answer.

327
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,720
We'll be a little more, but not much.

328
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,200
And we'll start with all of us to look up with the first question.

329
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,860
Then again, thank you for coming in.

330
00:26:00,420 --> 00:26:01,260
Thank you for your time.

331
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,280
All right, first question, why are you interested in serving as an older person?

332
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,940
And how do you personal and professional experiences qualify you for this position?

333
00:26:11,620 --> 00:26:12,080
Thank you.

334
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,500
Thank you all for your service.

335
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,300
I know these roles in public service are both not necessarily always appreciated,

336
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,320
but really serious and really important roles that you have.

337
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,600
My interested in running for the older position is one being a service to the community.

338
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:26,920
I did.

339
00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:27,940
To be a lead.

340
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:33,400
I think that's something instilled to me.

341
00:26:33,860 --> 00:26:40,900
The community is a place that I live since 2011 and have been actively involved in the city of

342
00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:45,600
World War Two of the services for eight years in the school board.

343
00:26:45,780 --> 00:26:47,080
So I understand governance processes.

344
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,940
our channel challenging is to come in and to possibly short-term role on new things to be able to

345
00:26:51,940 --> 00:26:58,380
pitch up really quickly. So would bring with me a lot of experience and collaborating with colleagues

346
00:26:58,380 --> 00:27:03,940
across lots of different areas of interest and advocacy working together to help move

347
00:27:04,580 --> 00:27:09,920
a municipality forward. So that I think it's something that I bring a lot of experience doing,

348
00:27:10,780 --> 00:27:15,420
have long history of listening and working and collaborating with community members. Sometimes

349
00:27:15,420 --> 00:27:20,060
they agreed, sometimes they didn't, but I was always very much willing to listen to engage

350
00:27:20,060 --> 00:27:24,960
to bring their perspectives and values forward. They obviously always influenced my decision-making.

351
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,180
Especially, I work at the University of Wisconsin Walkie. I have a background in leadership

352
00:27:30,180 --> 00:27:38,260
organization, change, manager organization, over 100 staff, $2.2 million, and it works

353
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:45,680
very successfully for 15 years on that campus. Also serve as a performance coaching fellow

354
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,100
really have been training a lot of listening, collaborative work, and how do we work together.

355
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,240
So it was, I think, an opportunity for me to step in and to support what was going on in the community,

356
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,840
a contagious support to work that's happening in East Towson, Pasadena, and balancing the issues

357
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:06,020
about being really walkable, dynamic place to live, and the challenges of development and how

358
00:28:06,020 --> 00:28:10,020
make sure that we're continuing to develop and grow and make sure our community is welcoming

359
00:28:10,020 --> 00:28:13,920
everyone. So it's like a really wonderful opportunity to help serve the community.

360
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,500
Great, thank you.

361
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,440
Question two, over Nolan.

362
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:24,320
Hi, what are your priorities for the city and for the sixth district?

363
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:32,100
You all have made some really good decisions over the last couple years between the city hall,

364
00:28:32,100 --> 00:29:02,080
The library, the merger of the fire department, and so I think part of the role stepping into this would be to support those moving forward to make sure that they are on target both budgetarily and as you said the expectations of the council for the city moving forward. So I think that that is what I was really excited about the work of the business improvement district along North Avenue, and supporting that work in helping that make sure that that is moving forward and spent a lot of time certainly walking up and down.

365
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,400
I have two kids of the work at Joy Ice Cream, so between my house on 74th and Joy Ice Cream.

366
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,820
It's been a lot of time, and I know that Pasadena area in particular is the way to thrive right now.

367
00:29:11,980 --> 00:29:13,520
So continue to balance those things.

368
00:29:14,580 --> 00:29:20,170
One big issue that I would love to tackle during my time in this role as older would be,

369
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:27,160
the intersection of 76th and 4th, which is an area that I know is coming up for redesign and development.

370
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:33,720
and so being an advocate for safety and thinking through how to advocate in different ways to make sure

371
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:39,820
that that's face is designed in a way that enhances public accessibility and safety for kids

372
00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:45,800
as they walk to and from certainly long fellow middle school. So I think those are some of my

373
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,720
big ones making sure that I really, great walkable neighborhoods are there, safety and certainly

374
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,780
an issue on going balancing development of the water bill at the support of our neighborhoods.

375
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,680
Our services are really, really important, and I think.

376
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,540
Make me sure those of you may taint with the budget pressures that we aren't wrong or anything with this

377
00:30:04,540 --> 00:30:08,380
local municipality, to allow us to be at the forefront of how I operate.

378
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:14,020
Do you mention the bid and you've said we move forward and thank you for sharing your answer with me for number two.

379
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:16,920
I just have a quick, I just want to touch on one thing quickly if I may.

380
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:17,680
It's approved.

381
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,460
How were you thinking as one of your priorities that you had helped the bid move forward?

382
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,060
Do you have anything in mind like that kind of right out of the gate or?

383
00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:30,100
So I think the first step is to listen.

384
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,400
I know they are beginning work now.

385
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,060
They're about, I think nine months in, can we take?

386
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,900
And I think it would be to listen to how I could support them in my role.

387
00:30:39,340 --> 00:30:44,980
So I don't come in with any, I would want to come in and listen and engage in five ways to support.

388
00:30:44,980 --> 00:30:45,880
I don't come in with any agenda.

389
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,820
Oh, yeah, because it business improvement district by virtue of its name.

390
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,940
I was thinking maybe if you had like the right brain and me it was like,

391
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,120
well maybe he's got some creative ideas that he wants to like share with the,

392
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:03,360
It's been like, I try to always serve from a place of listening and learning, and then where

393
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,300
I have, I think that ideas.

394
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,760
I wouldn't want to assume that I have answers that they haven't already gone with.

395
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:08,060
Okay.

396
00:31:08,460 --> 00:31:08,620
All right.

397
00:31:08,620 --> 00:31:10,280
Thank you.

398
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,240
Thank you.

399
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,140
Oh, sorry.

400
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,680
You said lockable neighborhoods.

401
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:21,020
Did you have anything like overall for the other districts like for the city as a whole?

402
00:31:21,820 --> 00:31:25,980
Like, you know, priority and like, I'm not, I know that's kind of a probative

403
00:31:25,980 --> 00:31:32,540
question but more so like something that would stick out like there's an area of concern in other parts

404
00:31:32,540 --> 00:31:37,380
of the city that you might have. I think what which hosts has done a really inventive job

405
00:31:37,380 --> 00:31:44,100
finding ways on all over the community to find both great in really neat, uh, bike-able spaces.

406
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,680
I think the work that's being done on the west side, uh, and the redevelopment to some of the

407
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:54,260
roads that makes pathways to under one elementary to and from, uh, it's really inventive and I think

408
00:31:54,260 --> 00:31:59,980
really advocating. We can continue to advocate for pathways that we don't want to want to tell

409
00:31:59,980 --> 00:32:04,840
said safeways so that you can move about this city as much as possible. As urban as we are,

410
00:32:05,060 --> 00:32:10,820
yeah, it's amazing to me how much kids are consistently, always just able to be out and about.

411
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,860
And so I would want to be able to do that at safeways possible. So certainly part of that is police

412
00:32:15,860 --> 00:32:24,240
and enforcement traffic loss. We part of it is infrastructure of making sure that when we're

413
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:31,180
ways that are in place certainly investing in our green spaces to allow that.

414
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,280
But for me, I think the walkability, capability is really important.

415
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:35,660
Okay.

416
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:37,720
Thank you.

417
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,120
Question three comes from Olga Guss.

418
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,680
So thanks for being here.

419
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,680
Thanks for serving us by all your fellow time.

420
00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:46,240
Thank you.

421
00:32:47,020 --> 00:32:47,600
Good to see you.

422
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,580
It's been a little bit.

423
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,640
First off, when we had a role as outgoing development,

424
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:59,060
the city's financial health and what does tax and incremental financing have a role in this?

425
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:06,540
Yeah. I think this is an area that I feel like I know a lot about as a citizen and not nearly as

426
00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:10,280
much as I would want to know about it if I were in your shoes because so much of this I think

427
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,520
for the tax incremental financing comes out to you this weighing and balancing of how do you

428
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:21,240
encourage and spur growth? That seems to be essential to increase the tax base. Wisconsin is really

429
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:27,280
not set up local Minhaus Palace in Minhaus Palace as well for increasing the resources that they have

430
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:33,120
in a really, really resource-trapped moment. And so I think one thing I would add is, I think

431
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,640
anywhere there is an opportunity for legislative advocacy to take a look at funding models.

432
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,820
That's really important as a council and as a community and to partner with other communities

433
00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:49,180
statewide on that. But I think tax and quantifying where it could really be a useful tool is if

434
00:33:49,180 --> 00:33:50,820
something can't happen.

435
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,900
So what's that balancing the act of if something is

436
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:56,900
going to be developed or something

437
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:57,300
going to be done?

438
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,600
How can the community invest in that to ensure

439
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,120
that that gets over the first line?

440
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:04,280
So I do think it definitely plays role.

441
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,160
I can have positives.

442
00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:08,320
I think investing in things that would otherwise still

443
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,280
be developed is a misuse of tough ones.

444
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,540
What I don't know at this point, and what

445
00:34:13,540 --> 00:34:15,600
need to be a learning opportunity for me,

446
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,480
is how do I come in and learn as a council person?

447
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,120
What is that balancing act?

448
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,440
What are the metrics that are in use?

449
00:34:22,740 --> 00:34:24,140
What type of information would I know?

450
00:34:24,180 --> 00:34:26,960
How do I be a good steward of taxpayer resources

451
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,240
as I think about an apply those things?

452
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:30,580
So that's an area.

453
00:34:30,580 --> 00:34:32,560
I think there's definitely a space for it,

454
00:34:32,620 --> 00:34:34,880
and I think I'm not knowledgeable enough

455
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,360
to know exactly how to do that.

456
00:34:36,460 --> 00:34:37,480
So I would lean on colleagues,

457
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:39,660
do a lot of reading a lot of research,

458
00:34:39,980 --> 00:34:41,300
to make sure that that's something

459
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:43,520
that I would be able to have the ground running on

460
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,080
and do a lot of learning on.

461
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:47,100
Thank you.

462
00:34:49,740 --> 00:34:51,420
Well, your foley is our fourth question.

463
00:34:52,180 --> 00:34:57,740
Hi. As part of being an older person, you will be presented with decisions about taxes and budget.

464
00:34:58,460 --> 00:34:59,560
What would be your priority?

465
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:10,400
First, it would be to protect core services wherever we can. Certainly, please fire safety, infrastructure,

466
00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:17,800
things that are foundational and are non-negotiables. And I think I would very much support of what

467
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:23,580
are creative solutions in terms of collaboration, either working with city, county, other municipalities. I

468
00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:27,580
the fire decision was a really creative solution, or we could

469
00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:31,860
conduct services in that manner. And then I would really listen to

470
00:35:31,860 --> 00:35:35,540
constituents. So I think that's an area where it would be important for me

471
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:38,320
to be advocating for what the members of my specific

472
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,340
district and community really want to hear. And so that's important to be a

473
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:46,720
really good listener, to be engaged in different community groups, and to be

474
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:51,160
participating in really that democratic way of listening to what the folks

475
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,620
to our representing would really prefer to be areas of focus.

476
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,100
We are entering a challenge where there is increasing debt

477
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:03,800
within the community, tax is certainly right, risen.

478
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,280
So how do we then bet that what's the balancing point

479
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,820
for being able to ensure long-term investment?

480
00:36:10,660 --> 00:36:13,060
Because just because something may cost a lot

481
00:36:13,060 --> 00:36:15,500
on the front end, doesn't mean that that short,

482
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:18,660
shorter-term, larger investment isn't financially

483
00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:24,900
the proven thing to do in the longer term. A lot of, whether it's school districts, communities

484
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:30,420
are facing right now, a lot of backlog and work that needed to be done over several generations.

485
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,780
And so figuring out what's the elegant solution in creative opportunities? And I think that comes

486
00:36:34,780 --> 00:36:39,380
back again to listening to being aware of what other communities are doing, how can we learn from

487
00:36:39,380 --> 00:36:44,380
good practices around the state of Wisconsin and nationally, and how do we balance those things

488
00:36:44,380 --> 00:36:50,440
with get core services needs an interest in the community and how do we use the taxes resources

489
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,380
that we have for the state through different grants and through what we're doing to maximize

490
00:36:55,380 --> 00:37:01,040
the impact of positive way we can have what keeping taxes as low as we can.

491
00:37:01,780 --> 00:37:09,360
Yeah, there's, you mentioned for services infrastructure, public safety, but would not be

492
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,660
where service is the city owners.

493
00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:21,450
I think there are things that may be value at it

494
00:37:21,450 --> 00:37:24,690
that the community may want at certain times

495
00:37:24,690 --> 00:37:29,150
that may not be able to be an initial immediate investment

496
00:37:29,150 --> 00:37:30,150
that may make.

497
00:37:31,050 --> 00:37:32,890
There is not a thing right now that Pockham

498
00:37:32,890 --> 00:37:35,770
immediately pops into my mind as something

499
00:37:35,770 --> 00:37:37,210
that I would peel back on.

500
00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:39,430
I think that's another area that I would need

501
00:37:39,430 --> 00:37:40,970
to continue to think about.

502
00:37:40,970 --> 00:37:47,570
And so, as things emerge and come forward, I think there's a balancing act that one would have to do.

503
00:37:48,050 --> 00:37:55,610
But it's a fine question, and I don't have an outstanding answer for what things.

504
00:37:55,790 --> 00:37:58,290
And I think that that's a challenge that communities are in.

505
00:37:58,910 --> 00:38:06,390
Is you probably hear that a lot of, like, the here's one that I thought was a really creative solution.

506
00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:18,330
There was a shift in how often the community was going to be collecting garg waste, and so one, that was delayed, but also there was an opportunity that was offered to the community of,

507
00:38:18,670 --> 00:38:29,590
do you want to buy into us a certain, ours has been great been, and so it was an opportunity to kind of have something that's available in that.

508
00:38:29,590 --> 00:38:33,990
So I think finding some other fees that we can add in certain things, the folks want certain

509
00:38:33,990 --> 00:38:37,350
things that others don't was a great solution for that.

510
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,440
Well, I ask a follow-up, I don't need to start by this question, but you talk to several

511
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,620
times about, you're willing to still listen to people and to be open to conversations.

512
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:55,140
Yet, during your tenure, there was some criticism of the board being unwilling to listen,

513
00:38:55,140 --> 00:39:02,620
And there was a, you know, a plan that ended up in this lawsuit settlement of an open meetings

514
00:39:02,620 --> 00:39:03,280
violation.

515
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,280
How do you drive those stupid?

516
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:12,120
So I don't think anybody ever had any criticism of media not being willing to listen.

517
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,900
I think the criticism that they may have had is that they'd integrate with how I've

518
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:17,300
voted.

519
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:23,860
I think there were many more people who did agree, and I think that's that I feel comfortable

520
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:24,380
standing with.

521
00:39:24,380 --> 00:39:32,600
I think any time that you are pushing forward and advocating for certain things, trying to address

522
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:39,860
a school infrastructure that hasn't been invested in for decades, and that costs money

523
00:39:39,860 --> 00:39:45,880
and that I really have a commitment to long-term planning and having honest conversations

524
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:46,800
about where are the trade-offs.

525
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:52,340
We don't have to invest in certain things or we can invest in others, but I don't think anybody

526
00:39:52,340 --> 00:39:59,980
ever had a criticism of me that I didn't listen or the board and I can't, that many, many people.

527
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:10,120
And that with me, and we're kind of shocked and surprised, like, you really listen to me. You were really responsive. You responded every email, you kind of followed up on every phone call.

528
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,540
People don't always agree with how I vote it. But I think it's a real good thing.

529
00:40:16,020 --> 00:40:17,580
And I think the majority of this.

530
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:21,120
I don't know what I can and can comment on it in terms of the loss here.

531
00:40:21,620 --> 00:40:25,720
I would say I'm very comfortable ethically and legally was everything that we did.

532
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:32,280
The only thing that was ever ruled on was ruled on by the I think, somebody that they

533
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,860
found that it, they weren't going to move forward with any legal concerns based off that.

534
00:40:37,020 --> 00:40:37,760
That was the only ruling.

535
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:43,780
My job as a board member is always to protect the fiduciary health of the district and that's

536
00:40:43,780 --> 00:40:45,240
not about me or my ego and winning.

537
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,180
That is about doing everything we can to never put the district into position where they are

538
00:40:50,180 --> 00:40:55,940
financially on the hook for anything. So any time we can minimize them, we're in this case.

539
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,260
It was in this case. It was in this case. It was for 132 thousand dollars.

540
00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:08,560
In this case, my goal was to ensure that the district wasn't paying for things out of its budgets.

541
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,620
There's going to be covered by insurance.

542
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:12,260
Thank you.

543
00:41:14,750 --> 00:41:15,090
Thank you.

544
00:41:15,290 --> 00:41:15,410
Thank you.

545
00:41:16,170 --> 00:41:16,330
Thank you.

546
00:41:16,650 --> 00:41:21,590
Speaking of financial issues, kind of followed by my question, like all the friends

547
00:41:21,590 --> 00:41:27,150
and said, were you the board president at the time who was discovered the financial

548
00:41:27,150 --> 00:41:29,830
problems with the director finance?

549
00:41:32,450 --> 00:41:38,030
Was there any statement issued by the superintendent or the board president addressing

550
00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:41,870
the election financial issues with the director finance?

551
00:41:41,870 --> 00:41:45,730
I certainly spoke that I'll look away with an award for the youth.

552
00:41:46,190 --> 00:41:50,030
Did the superintendent ever publicly say anything about it?

553
00:41:50,570 --> 00:41:58,010
I don't have specific memory of certainly we spoke about it in public and privately,

554
00:41:58,630 --> 00:42:03,830
but I can't speak for and I don't have notes on what my memory says on that.

555
00:42:03,830 --> 00:42:10,490
And so, turning around to what we do as council members.

556
00:42:13,870 --> 00:42:17,830
We guide, as you did on the school period,

557
00:42:18,170 --> 00:42:23,530
by people, you know, interact daily this day as all day.

558
00:42:24,550 --> 00:42:28,750
But we, my guides, and in one of those obligations,

559
00:42:28,750 --> 00:42:31,850
if you mentioned the board, the school board, the school board,

560
00:42:31,850 --> 00:42:33,010
the school board, the school board, the school board.

561
00:42:33,930 --> 00:42:41,790
Do you think as the boss, sort of, speak of the superintendent, the superintendent, should

562
00:42:41,790 --> 00:42:42,650
have issued something?

563
00:42:44,350 --> 00:42:51,310
What I would say is, as board president, I am meant to facilitate and coordinate a group

564
00:42:51,310 --> 00:42:57,310
of seven, that we are collectively the boss or the supervisor, and we speak as a single

565
00:42:57,310 --> 00:43:04,150
body, not as I can only speak on what the whole board has taken action, so that's one.

566
00:43:04,750 --> 00:43:11,010
I will say I believe very much in accountability and that's, I think I, you know, student

567
00:43:11,010 --> 00:43:15,790
talk publicly, whether it was to the public, the media throughout my time in the board,

568
00:43:16,150 --> 00:43:22,150
did shy away from difficult decisions, how they were taking the school district forward, and

569
00:43:22,150 --> 00:43:26,250
never shy away from taking accountability for anything that we did.

570
00:43:26,250 --> 00:43:30,110
Thank you. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. I'm sorry.

571
00:43:31,270 --> 00:43:34,170
What was the core thing that you said you wouldn't support?

572
00:43:34,490 --> 00:43:36,310
I'm sorry, I was in this debt.

573
00:43:36,890 --> 00:43:39,390
Alder Fully had asked what was on the core.

574
00:43:39,730 --> 00:43:40,750
Think you didn't support?

575
00:43:41,490 --> 00:43:42,750
I did a great answer to that.

576
00:43:43,270 --> 00:43:46,990
So I think what the things that I would prioritize

577
00:43:46,990 --> 00:43:48,950
would be safety.

578
00:43:51,550 --> 00:43:51,950
Help.

579
00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:53,370
Infrastructure improvements.

580
00:43:54,990 --> 00:44:02,370
And then I would, I think I would look for elegant, try to find any elegant solution for things where there was opportunities for any value added things.

581
00:44:02,430 --> 00:44:04,530
How do we find creative solutions to do that?

582
00:44:05,090 --> 00:44:10,850
And so I didn't have, there's nothing immediately that popped into my mind that said I would not support.

583
00:44:11,410 --> 00:44:15,510
I think that that's going to be a balancing at the moment.

584
00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:18,030
uh... would do that's decisions are being made or all budgets

585
00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:22,910
say not okay so like in your mind there's not anything that would if it came across

586
00:44:22,910 --> 00:44:25,630
your desk you'd be like no absolutely not

587
00:44:25,630 --> 00:44:28,510
there's nothing that without further

588
00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:32,970
reading explanation understanding of what the trade-offs would be

589
00:44:32,970 --> 00:44:35,470
i don't generally come in with any agenda

590
00:44:35,470 --> 00:44:40,030
okay thank you i just wanted to make sure that i was talking properly thank you

591
00:44:40,030 --> 00:44:40,970
thank you very much

592
00:44:40,970 --> 00:44:42,530
appreciate your time

593
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,080
Is Mr. Havingson available to us?

594
00:44:58,870 --> 00:44:59,850
Hello everyone.

595
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:09,920
I am still hanging around here. I had my shedding open, and I see myself. I don't know. Can you guys see me? No, I'm not yet.

596
00:45:09,980 --> 00:45:15,740
I think it's going to go for it. Oh, no. Well.

597
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,800
Um, you can lower the panel list.

598
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:20,920
What's that?

599
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,320
Please, please.

600
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,860
Let me see from all the panel list.

601
00:45:23,860 --> 00:45:25,820
Yeah, he must come on to the panel list.

602
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,180
Let's see if he's able to talk.

603
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:30,760
It should be.

604
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:32,980
There's a video portion of separate.

605
00:45:34,180 --> 00:45:34,320
Good.

606
00:45:36,460 --> 00:45:37,080
You know what?

607
00:45:38,060 --> 00:45:38,980
Did you tell it?

608
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:39,420
Did you mention?

609
00:45:41,710 --> 00:45:41,910
There.

610
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:45,200
What's up?

611
00:45:53,430 --> 00:45:53,450
It's me.

612
00:45:53,670 --> 00:45:55,310
If he is part of the panel list.

613
00:45:55,330 --> 00:45:56,970
And I switched to panel list.

614
00:46:00,650 --> 00:46:02,650
I'm sorry about that everyone.

615
00:46:02,710 --> 00:46:03,510
No problem.

616
00:46:03,890 --> 00:46:04,630
I'm sorry about that.

617
00:46:04,630 --> 00:46:05,330
I don't need a wife.

618
00:46:06,190 --> 00:46:07,710
So thank you for joining us.

619
00:46:07,850 --> 00:46:08,530
Appreciate it.

620
00:46:08,710 --> 00:46:11,570
I'm sure you know by now that we'll be asking you four questions.

621
00:46:12,710 --> 00:46:16,770
And you'll have no more than five minutes to respond to that.

622
00:46:16,890 --> 00:46:17,410
All right.

623
00:46:17,730 --> 00:46:18,770
Thank you very much.

624
00:46:19,250 --> 00:46:21,510
And thank you for joining us.

625
00:46:21,590 --> 00:46:22,590
Appreciate that.

626
00:46:22,590 --> 00:46:26,150
So, Alderson, look over the last first question.

627
00:46:27,930 --> 00:46:28,690
Thank you for joining.

628
00:46:30,790 --> 00:46:32,970
Why are you interested in serving as an Alderman?

629
00:46:33,350 --> 00:46:33,550
Or Alderman?

630
00:46:34,090 --> 00:46:38,850
And how do you, your personal and professional experiences qualify you for this appointment?

631
00:46:41,780 --> 00:46:48,160
Well, why I'm interested is I am a civil engineer here

632
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:56,780
here in LaWateau's of working for a private company, the United ESC group, and I've recently

633
00:46:56,780 --> 00:47:04,760
been working with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District on a few projects in Oak Creek.

634
00:47:05,500 --> 00:47:14,320
And over the course of that work, I was required to go before the Oak Creek variants board

635
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,340
and the Oak Creek architectural review board.

636
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,820
And I thought it was a very interesting process

637
00:47:21,820 --> 00:47:25,880
and that, well, it's also probably,

638
00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:29,040
you know, has these similar boards

639
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,000
and perhaps I could in a way give back

640
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,380
to the community that I've enjoyed living in

641
00:47:37,380 --> 00:47:40,580
for much of the last 13 years.

642
00:47:40,580 --> 00:47:50,900
So I just was reading your Facebook page and I noticed this job opening came up so I thought

643
00:47:50,900 --> 00:48:07,040
I'd apply as far as a personally qualified well I about two and a half years ago my wife and

644
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:16,200
I bought a house on Clark Street in District 6 and we moved only one block from our previous

645
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:27,960
home. We really love the neighborhood. My son goes to Roosevelt, so I think I'm personally

646
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,120
very connected to Wallace OSA. And professionally,

647
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:34,780
as I mentioned, civil engineer,

648
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:37,940
the work we

649
00:48:37,940 --> 00:48:50,560
do is usually either site development projects or underground infrastructure. Specifically, I am

650
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:56,260
What a resource is engineer that's my specialty within civil engineering.

651
00:48:58,900 --> 00:49:13,960
We often produce plans and specifications for clients such as MMSD as a big client of ours right now as is the Air Force and the FTE.

652
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:21,460
Another thing we do is to produce engineering studies for various clients.

653
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:28,700
Let's see, one of those I've been working on recently is for MMSD,

654
00:49:31,020 --> 00:49:34,520
for intercepting structures in the Milwaukee area.

655
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:52,520
And we're just creating an alternative analysis showing sort of like four different ways that they could approach this project from sort of the cheapest, the most simple repair to

656
00:49:54,340 --> 00:49:59,980
some things that would perhaps reduce the amounts of

657
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:13,920
Of dumping of wastewater that they occasionally do. And there are sort of balancing the financial

658
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:23,100
priorities if they should, you know, just go with the lowest cost option or is it worth spending

659
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:28,860
for example, in extra $70,000 to get a better repair.

660
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,500
So this alternative analysis type studies or something

661
00:50:34,500 --> 00:50:36,340
we often work on.

662
00:50:36,540 --> 00:50:42,180
And I think they would be a valuable type thing

663
00:50:42,180 --> 00:50:43,820
that I would work on.

664
00:50:43,860 --> 00:50:48,560
If I were a older man for district six.

665
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:49,920
All right, thank you.

666
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,100
Mr. Chair, may I ask a follow up?

667
00:50:52,100 --> 00:51:02,020
Absolutely. All right. I mentioned the your work with O'Night. I'm just curious to, you know,

668
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:07,560
these kind of works in engineering and development. Do you foresee any potential

669
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:13,760
conflicts of interest with your current work in any of the development that may or may not come

670
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:14,700
through all of Tosa.

671
00:51:16,260 --> 00:51:16,540
I don't know.

672
00:51:17,540 --> 00:51:19,380
That is a good question.

673
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:28,180
I've overlapped with Volatosa once or twice.

674
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:34,060
I'm currently working with MMSD and Arcades on a

675
00:51:34,060 --> 00:51:38,000
levy project around the village area,

676
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,920
where we're doing some work on enhancing

677
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:56,400
the storm sewers around there. So there's less flooding. And I'm not really on the developer side.

678
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:01,980
Generally, just working for public entities,

679
00:52:04,380 --> 00:52:11,120
such as MMSD, the Air Force and the DFD are current biggest clients.

680
00:52:11,860 --> 00:52:22,300
So, if there's a conflict of interest there on your end, I'm sorry to hear that, but.

681
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:28,380
No, no, no, it's just more of a, I just wanted to make sure that some of the projects, like if there were.

682
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:34,440
How, like a development, but if you're more on public entity side, then it was just more of a trying to understand any.

683
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:40,300
Oh yeah, of course. Yeah, we're, we're consulting from generally hired by government entities.

684
00:52:40,300 --> 00:52:49,520
Okay. Yeah, that's all I had. Thank you. Yep, we hired you after we accused yourself. If you were

685
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:56,100
if you were appointed. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, I mean, I'm not really applying to

686
00:52:56,100 --> 00:53:02,480
to try to further our business or anything like that. I really first like to

687
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:11,100
live in Wattosa and if there's any way I can, I'm not help the city out. I'm happy to do it.

688
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,360
Our second question comes from all the dollar.

689
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:15,500
Hi, good evening.

690
00:53:15,780 --> 00:53:16,900
Thank you for being here.

691
00:53:18,300 --> 00:53:23,780
The question is, what are your priorities for the city and the sixth district?

692
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:30,240
I did read through your 76th street in North Avenue.

693
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:37,820
So faring that, what would be your priorities for the city and the sixth district?

694
00:53:39,140 --> 00:53:50,540
If I would, well, sell it. I'll keep it short. I've liked living in this sixth district for

695
00:53:50,540 --> 00:54:01,000
much of the last 15 years, other than my internal job transfer to the Air Force Base, and I think

696
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:30,980
I'm just a contractor, so not nearly as an danger as active duty folks, but yeah, I would say I really like living in districts six and over the years I've been here, you know, there have been road improvements in east town and west town and

697
00:54:30,980 --> 00:54:38,900
And I love the bike lanes and all of the bumpouts, maybe they're called the traffic

698
00:54:38,900 --> 00:54:47,900
calling the measures, you know, living west of 76th street in my son going to Roosevelt.

699
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:55,860
It's always a bit of a challenge getting across that street can be scary at times, but

700
00:54:55,860 --> 00:54:58,560
now that there's that flashing light there.

701
00:54:58,560 --> 00:54:59,800
It helps a little bit.

702
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:21,340
So, that's very good. And yeah, my supporting material or whatever it was called, along with my letter and resume was just something I was thinking about that might improve the intersection and make it more pedestrian friendly.

703
00:55:21,340 --> 00:55:30,720
I didn't mean to, you know, be pushing and say this is what we should do, but I just wanted

704
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:38,880
to provide a possible idea that, I'm sure some people would find interesting.

705
00:55:39,260 --> 00:55:46,080
It was, yeah, essentially reducing the number of lanes running through that intersection.

706
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:50,740
And I thought it was, it's a bit unique,

707
00:55:50,740 --> 00:55:54,760
I think, to have the number of lanes going through

708
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,700
and intersection kind of expand out as you're going through

709
00:55:58,700 --> 00:56:04,540
the intersection and then reduce back down to one lane

710
00:56:04,540 --> 00:56:08,680
in either direction on either side of the intersection.

711
00:56:09,460 --> 00:56:14,560
So that was something I think about when I'm walking

712
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:24,280
or biking in the area. And yeah, I really like the, you know, over the course of the last

713
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:30,700
10 or 15 years, lots of new restaurants in the area. And it's nice, nice, nice snow neighborhood.

714
00:56:32,910 --> 00:56:37,250
So what would be your number one priority for the city? Do you suppose overall?

715
00:56:39,350 --> 00:57:07,090
I would say, make sure, while we toast to has great schools and great public safety, police, fire, would be number one for me, although I'm a civil engineer, maybe it takes a bit of a back seat to some of those core services, but I would enjoy helping with

716
00:57:07,750 --> 00:57:15,030
the engineering side of things or whatever else comes before the various meetings.

717
00:57:16,010 --> 00:57:19,290
All right, thank you.

718
00:57:19,570 --> 00:57:22,010
All there are customers that will have a third question.

719
00:57:22,470 --> 00:57:26,350
Thank you for taking the time to apply and potentially serve the city.

720
00:57:27,350 --> 00:57:29,210
What role is ongoing development?

721
00:57:29,530 --> 00:57:34,210
The city is financial health and does tax incremental financing have a role in this?

722
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:51,620
Well, I would definitely have to educate myself a bit more on the city finances if I were to be selected for this position.

723
00:57:51,620 --> 00:58:02,540
But I would say overall, I think tip districts can be a valuable tool and promoting development

724
00:58:04,180 --> 00:58:09,040
and expanding the tax base, creating jobs,

725
00:58:11,540 --> 00:58:17,020
so I would say that it would be a case-by-case,

726
00:58:17,020 --> 00:58:25,060
where we have to look at the pros and cons of what sort of developments would take place.

727
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:31,120
And I just talked to the residents of District 6.

728
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:42,900
And yeah, I'm not wanted to really, I guess, make waves in a, at a job.

729
00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:46,160
So I, I know this is a temporary position.

730
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:53,080
I like to understand how you all do things and help out as I can.

731
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:57,700
But overall, I would say the articles I read about the development

732
00:58:57,700 --> 00:58:58,640
and what was outside.

733
00:58:58,860 --> 00:59:01,420
I usually think they're pretty interesting.

734
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:10,540
Like what's happening at May Fair, possibly, as well as yeah.

735
00:59:10,540 --> 00:59:12,320
out of the road improvements as a civil

736
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,680
engine here, those are nice.

737
00:59:19,420 --> 00:59:22,320
There are four questions from older folks.

738
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,160
Hi, as part of being an older person,

739
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,220
you'll be presented with decisions about taxes and budgeting.

740
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:31,940
What would be your priorities in allocating

741
00:59:31,940 --> 00:59:33,020
limited resources?

742
00:59:36,820 --> 00:59:41,040
Well, as I mentioned, I think education and public safety

743
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:51,520
would be, would be out the top, and then with any extra money I believe continuing to make

744
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:59,980
while it was a more vibrant community with safer streets and lots of activities.

745
01:00:01,540 --> 01:00:09,300
That would be nice. I mean, a lot of the things in the village, the toast to tonight, farmers market,

746
01:00:12,850 --> 01:00:16,890
the various festivals, the dairy land,

747
01:00:16,890 --> 01:00:24,690
like races recently. I, uh, the troll park, all of those things, I think, I think, almost make

748
01:00:24,690 --> 01:00:29,070
want to tell us, so I didn't really have its own identity and not just be, um,

749
01:00:30,170 --> 01:00:36,550
and all your typical suburb, so I would like to, uh, allocate at least some resources to, uh,

750
01:00:36,950 --> 01:00:39,750
continue to make things like that happen.

751
01:00:42,660 --> 01:00:47,920
Sure, man. Oh, please. Um, with the schools being operated

752
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:53,780
by the school district and not the city. You mentioned public safety is one of your priorities.

753
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,200
Would you have anything else if we exclude schools?

754
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,240
So, anything else as far as the top priorities?

755
01:01:06,220 --> 01:01:09,500
I would say,

756
01:01:09,500 --> 01:01:18,960
how after public safety, of course, good infrastructure is important.

757
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:22,540
I really like

758
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:32,020
pedestrian safety. I enjoy riding my bicycle around. Well, it's also in Milwaukee and other places

759
01:01:32,020 --> 01:01:40,740
and making sure my son and his friends can get to school safely. Of course, there are

760
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:52,040
water and sewer need to work properly. That's usually what I what I deal with at my day job.

761
01:01:53,580 --> 01:02:01,480
But there's a whole lot of other things to consider with the city budget. And as mentioned,

762
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:11,220
would really need to educate myself on some of these items, but I'm happy to help, the city

763
01:02:11,220 --> 01:02:11,820
of WHOA, WHOA.

764
01:02:13,940 --> 01:02:15,340
Yes, one other question.

765
01:02:15,620 --> 01:02:15,840
Sure, WHOA.

766
01:02:17,060 --> 01:02:23,580
It's beginning of this interview, Mr. Hemingson, you mentioned that you were here in

767
01:02:23,580 --> 01:02:23,760
WHOA.

768
01:02:24,300 --> 01:02:25,840
Are you at your home now?

769
01:02:27,180 --> 01:02:28,360
I'm on vacation.

770
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:30,200
Okay,

771
01:02:33,300 --> 01:02:39,720
so thank you for allowing me the opportunity to interview Virtually, did that phrase stuck out with me?

772
01:02:40,940 --> 01:02:48,280
Well, thank you very much for applying and for joining us and sticking through the difficulty so we could get to you.

773
01:02:48,580 --> 01:02:49,820
Yes, sorry about that.

774
01:02:50,060 --> 01:02:53,480
No, no, no problem. We got there. Thank you very much.

775
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,840
Okay, our next division is 27, so that's 20.

776
01:03:00,340 --> 01:03:03,300
And, um, he is, he is online.

777
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:04,300
He's online.

778
01:03:04,380 --> 01:03:04,740
He's online.

779
01:03:04,980 --> 01:03:05,900
And if it is online.

780
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:06,500
Okay.

781
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,840
So, Mr. Smith, are you, are you ready to go?

782
01:03:10,140 --> 01:03:10,640
One second.

783
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:10,940
Yeah.

784
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:11,160
Come on.

785
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:12,080
Hello.

786
01:03:23,940 --> 01:03:24,420
Yes.

787
01:03:24,420 --> 01:03:25,860
I am able to talk.

788
01:03:26,060 --> 01:03:26,340
I'm ready.

789
01:03:27,300 --> 01:03:27,500
Great.

790
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:28,660
Thank you very much.

791
01:03:29,660 --> 01:03:30,720
Um, as you probably,

792
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,660
I guess we have,

793
01:03:35,860 --> 01:03:35,880
um,

794
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:41,380
And you'll have a little more about five minutes or so to answer each one.

795
01:03:41,460 --> 01:03:46,320
Gar, first question comes from Alder Dolewood.

796
01:03:46,340 --> 01:03:47,020
I'm sorry.

797
01:03:47,220 --> 01:03:47,760
I'm sorry.

798
01:03:48,180 --> 01:03:51,060
And our first question comes from Alder's to Luca.

799
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,140
I'm going to mean it that way, sorry, Alder.

800
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:55,000
I'll copy it.

801
01:03:55,100 --> 01:03:55,620
I'll copy it.

802
01:03:55,860 --> 01:03:56,340
I'm sorry.

803
01:03:56,780 --> 01:03:58,000
I'll copy it.

804
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:02,360
Yeah, I was like, I guess I got to modate off of that.

805
01:04:02,620 --> 01:04:03,080
That's it.

806
01:04:03,460 --> 01:04:05,040
Since I messed it up the last time.

807
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:12,300
all right. Thank you for joining. Well, why are you interested in serving as an older person

808
01:04:12,300 --> 01:04:17,020
and how do you personal and professional experiences qualify you for this appointment?

809
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:25,720
Well, I've been living in Wartoza for the last six years or so and had one other

810
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:32,300
stint in Wartoza before a brief time in another city. While I lived in another city,

811
01:04:32,300 --> 01:04:37,620
actually did it, they had a really cool program, they did call this like a citizen's education

812
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,460
project that they were doing, you would spend six weeks going to different events and learning

813
01:04:44,460 --> 01:04:48,740
about the first one was with the city treasure, learned about how the city finances work, the

814
01:04:48,740 --> 01:04:53,440
second one was at public works, we went to the fire department, the police department, and I've been

815
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:59,220
interested in being involved in municipal government some way or another for the last decade or so.

816
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:06,660
I was actually planning to run in the next term in 2028, the sort of, when I assumed that would happen,

817
01:05:06,940 --> 01:05:12,360
but with the opening that came up now, I decided to accelerate my timeline a little bit in interest

818
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:20,340
in joining the council. But I believe that local government has an ability to affect everyone's lives

819
01:05:20,340 --> 01:05:25,860
on a daily basis. I think particularly at the local level, the decisions that are made in this room

820
01:05:25,860 --> 01:05:29,840
in the city hall, how a tangible effect on everyone's daily life.

821
01:05:30,620 --> 01:05:32,300
And I think that the council's role,

822
01:05:32,740 --> 01:05:34,600
one to hold the city government accountable,

823
01:05:34,940 --> 01:05:37,060
it's being operationally efficient and effective,

824
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,820
also setting a vision and strategic plan

825
01:05:39,820 --> 01:05:42,280
for long-term growth and financial sustainability

826
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:43,640
for the city is crucial.

827
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,780
And I think that I could add value to the district's

828
01:05:48,780 --> 01:05:50,880
six residents representing them in that respect.

829
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,360
Professionally, my background, as a sort of a public

830
01:05:54,360 --> 01:06:00,320
account and gives me a strong financial acumen, allows me to always have the financial impact

831
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:04,000
at any decision we're weighing, in at least the back of my mind while we're also talking

832
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:11,620
about some of the other, maybe less tangible or quantifiable values that we are deciding

833
01:06:11,620 --> 01:06:12,500
among.

834
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:19,520
So, when I started my career, I was an auditor at the CPA firm, I went to different organizations,

835
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:26,080
large in the nonprofit sector and reviewed their financials, you know, ordered them to make

836
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:31,700
sure they were accurate and in alignment with generally accepted accounting principles.

837
01:06:32,700 --> 01:06:37,760
And then I also did compliance audit for state and federal grants in those nonprofits.

838
01:06:38,340 --> 01:06:42,840
And so a lot of government funding at the municipal level is also, you know, there are some

839
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:43,940
grant funding elements to that.

840
01:06:44,140 --> 01:06:48,420
So just having a understanding of what compliance looks like at a high level.

841
01:06:48,420 --> 01:06:50,920
I think is something that I'll bring to this role.

842
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,600
And then I also, after leading public accounting,

843
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,660
I worked with in companies in their finance department,

844
01:06:57,260 --> 01:07:00,240
doing the accounting, being responsible for financial reporting,

845
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,520
budgeting, forecasting, for companies large and small.

846
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,720
So I understand kind of at a deep level,

847
01:07:09,180 --> 01:07:11,080
how financial statements are supposed to look

848
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,460
and kind of the story they tell about the financial health

849
01:07:13,460 --> 01:07:15,060
and organization or municipality.

850
01:07:16,060 --> 01:07:22,480
Also, I have been a board member and finance committee member for various nonprofits over the years.

851
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:27,700
And I think that the experience being on those boards would be relevant to this role as well.

852
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,140
Well, the scale is different than any other organizations I worked with.

853
01:07:31,300 --> 01:07:33,660
The process of decision making will be familiar.

854
01:07:34,260 --> 01:07:40,860
You know, finding consensus, making the case to other members on what the right moves are for the organization or the municipality.

855
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:55,020
And regularly having other board members, regularly having conversations with board members about balancing the desire to do everything that's great towards the mission with the financial realities of a decision.

856
01:07:55,820 --> 01:08:00,540
And I'm often in that role on the boards that I've been a part of because of my background in finance.

857
01:08:00,540 --> 01:08:07,420
I get it as excited about the mission as anyone else on the board, but I also know that

858
01:08:07,420 --> 01:08:12,340
just because of the idea is good and would be in support of the mission if we don't have a financial

859
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:20,700
ability to make it happen, then we have to say no. Or we have to come up with an alternate funding

860
01:08:20,700 --> 01:08:26,760
method to make it happen. So I usually try to frame things not so much as

861
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,360
Yes or no, but if this is important, how do we make it happen?

862
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:37,100
For example, I'm on the Finance Committee right now for a nonprofit that supports the arts in Milwaukee.

863
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,780
And funding has been a challenge for the last three or four years in particular.

864
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:47,700
The grants that they are used to getting are smaller or non-existent.

865
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:56,480
And, you know, they keep putting together budgets that put them in the red and amount that, you know,

866
01:08:56,600 --> 01:09:00,720
they can absorb for a couple of years, but if they don't make changes, the organization will be

867
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:06,120
installed into the future. And, you know, they put together a budget that doesn't stand any chance of breaking

868
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:10,760
even, you know, you know, I'm calling that out and say, this budget won't work long term.

869
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,720
So what do we need to change. Thank you.

870
01:09:16,140 --> 01:09:19,040
Our second question, I think I've got to say, right?

871
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:19,940
I've just moved all the way.

872
01:09:22,940 --> 01:09:24,880
I think if we're being here this evening,

873
01:09:25,820 --> 01:09:28,740
what are your priorities for the city and the sixth district?

874
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,040
What are your priorities for the city and the sixth district?

875
01:09:34,460 --> 01:09:38,160
Well, I think my priority in the council will be to continue the

876
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,860
I think the great progress that the city is making in making

877
01:09:40,860 --> 01:09:45,380
while we're toasted a destination of choice for both residents and employers and businesses.

878
01:09:46,860 --> 01:09:51,040
So I think anything we do needs to be in alignment with the mission, vision, and

879
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:57,360
long-term strategic plan for the city that's already been adopted. But then in addition to that,

880
01:09:57,580 --> 01:09:59,560
I think that we become a destination of choice.

881
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,820
Becoming a place that people want to live.

882
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,000
It people move to a place that businesses tend to follow.

883
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:10,460
So I think recent efforts, such as the creation of inclusive shared comments, spaces and parks

884
01:10:10,460 --> 01:10:16,800
like the pocket park on 69th and north, is a great example of a city investment that created

885
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:19,620
a space that brings value to that whole community.

886
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,940
All of the recent traffic calling efforts along North Avenue and other areas of the city have

887
01:10:25,940 --> 01:10:30,340
also made our neighborhood more walkable in vibrance and I think the businesses come in and

888
01:10:30,340 --> 01:10:35,840
response to that. The first time I lived in Moatoso was before any of that happened and North

889
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:42,620
Ave had businesses on it but fewer and they were a lot less frequented by the people in the

890
01:10:42,620 --> 01:10:46,840
neighborhood than they are today and I think that the investments that have been made in that

891
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:54,680
corridor that were determined by the council and you know that the council made happen is a big

892
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,400
part of the development that then followed along that along that route.

893
01:11:00,220 --> 01:11:05,720
So, and then the other, you know, another area is I think attracting businesses and employers

894
01:11:08,730 --> 01:11:18,430
is great, but then we also need to figure out a way to also keep abundant and achievable housing that can work for both young professionals, families,

895
01:11:19,010 --> 01:11:23,330
and those who are aging in our community to allow them to stay in the place that they call home.

896
01:11:23,330 --> 01:11:27,270
That's a challenge that comes with becoming a destination of choice,

897
01:11:27,770 --> 01:11:30,970
when more people live here, it can make affordability challenging.

898
01:11:31,550 --> 01:11:35,950
And I think that the council has a part to play and making that happen.

899
01:11:36,630 --> 01:11:38,210
But for this interim set seven month period,

900
01:11:38,970 --> 01:11:42,950
I don't expect that I'll have any major projects that I'm pushing through from start to finish.

901
01:11:43,610 --> 01:11:45,190
So my priorities to, you know,

902
01:11:45,190 --> 01:11:48,490
thoughtfully contribute to the discussions and debates within the council,

903
01:11:49,210 --> 01:11:51,170
particularly trying to lend my financial

904
01:11:51,170 --> 01:11:53,230
vacuum into any of those conversations.

905
01:11:53,930 --> 01:11:55,630
Then I'll also prioritize being a resource

906
01:11:55,630 --> 01:11:57,430
for the residents of District 6.

907
01:11:57,950 --> 01:11:59,990
As evidenced by the letter since the Council,

908
01:12:00,510 --> 01:12:03,730
having a representation for our community and our district

909
01:12:03,730 --> 01:12:05,410
is important to the people of our district,

910
01:12:06,410 --> 01:12:09,130
and my primary goal would be to be that resource

911
01:12:09,130 --> 01:12:10,410
during the interim period.

912
01:12:13,620 --> 01:12:14,080
Thank you.

913
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:16,540
Our third question comes from all of our customers.

914
01:12:17,460 --> 01:12:19,920
I just like every candidate before you thank you for taking

915
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:26,160
time to be here tonight and showing an interest in serving your community. What role is on going

916
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:31,980
development plan the city's financial health is tax incremental financing of our role in this?

917
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:38,200
Great question. I think ongoing development is crucial for any city or municipality of any kind

918
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:45,960
to survive financially and otherwise for a few reasons. So I think the first is financial obviously

919
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:50,820
development provides you know direct new property tax revenue to the city and all the other

920
01:12:50,820 --> 01:12:56,420
taxing authorities in the in the city like the school district, NTC and the NSD, all of those

921
01:12:56,420 --> 01:13:02,200
organizations benefit by net new development and then the second piece is the municipal funding

922
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:09,040
formula through the state requires development to continue funding the government at levels that

923
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:15,240
even approach keeping up with inflation and so I think the development plan allows us to continuously

924
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:21,500
grow at a manageable pace that we can absorb as a city without radically changing the character

925
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:27,040
of the city, but also meeting the threshold set out by the state funding formula and meeting

926
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:32,300
the other, like the long-term strategic goals of the city and the council set forth, I think

927
01:13:32,300 --> 01:13:37,280
are important. The second reason that I think development is important is to provide the housing

928
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:41,320
to the residents that we're going to be attracting to our city by becoming the destination of

929
01:13:42,300 --> 01:13:46,560
Household size is much smaller than it used to be 50 years ago, so we need more housing

930
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:48,620
units to house the same number of people.

931
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:53,300
And I think that the awful development that provides housing for the residents throughout

932
01:13:53,300 --> 01:13:57,900
their life cycle will allow us to support young professionals, growing families, and those

933
01:13:57,900 --> 01:14:00,080
who wish to age with support in our community.

934
01:14:00,860 --> 01:14:04,820
The third is that without development, the community will fail to meet the needs of the future.

935
01:14:05,440 --> 01:14:08,900
For example, research park was an excellent office park when it was conceived.

936
01:14:08,900 --> 01:14:17,320
Now, the realities of work have changed and the proposals to modify zoning in the park to diversify the uses, including the tid that was created.

937
01:14:18,940 --> 01:14:29,260
I think are incredibly forward looking and have that potential to create a really, well, get ahead of future blight and create an exciting new part of the city for contemporary growth.

938
01:14:29,860 --> 01:14:32,180
As far as TIF goes, I think it's a tool.

939
01:14:32,180 --> 01:14:36,680
I think the tool often misunderstood by the public, but it's a valuable option for municipalities

940
01:14:37,420 --> 01:14:40,140
to encourage development that is crucial.

941
01:14:41,060 --> 01:14:44,880
And I think the tip should be strategically to direct investment in a way that benefits the city,

942
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:48,100
but it might not be economically feasible without financial assistance.

943
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,060
I really appreciate that the city has went possible.

944
01:14:52,860 --> 01:14:54,900
Utilize the pays you go model.

945
01:14:55,740 --> 01:14:59,020
It reduces the risk to the city, so if you get a developer who doesn't perform,

946
01:14:59,020 --> 01:14:59,960
and we aren't on the hook for the...

947
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Senator failure, but it does still create the incentive that allows for

948
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:11,300
pop projects to go forward that wouldn't otherwise, but I think there are cases if the benefit

949
01:15:11,300 --> 01:15:17,120
is large enough to the organization or to the city that limited use of bonding could make

950
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:22,060
sense as well, but I think we need to have kind of a process to filter those little projects

951
01:15:22,060 --> 01:15:25,980
that get to support. So my first thought is does the project further the long term strategic

952
01:15:25,980 --> 01:15:31,800
of the city is the project economically feasible without to funding and third is the city asking for

953
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:36,540
concessions such as public parking, affordable units, specific design elements that are valuable

954
01:15:36,540 --> 01:15:42,060
to the community, but not economically reasonable for the developer to include. And so the more of

955
01:15:42,060 --> 01:15:48,240
those things that we're asking for or the more of those boxes they check, I think the higher the cases

956
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:53,300
for us to use TIF as a tool in those cases.

957
01:15:55,140 --> 01:15:56,020
Thank you.

958
01:15:57,580 --> 01:16:00,680
Fourth question from all their, oh, hi.

959
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:06,880
As part of being an older person, you'll be presented with decisions about taxes and budgeting.

960
01:16:07,540 --> 01:16:10,800
What would be your priorities in allocating limited resources?

961
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:17,960
All organizations, municipalities, companies, households, have to work within their financial constraints.

962
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:22,040
There's so many ideas that would be excellent for our city, but funding is not limited.

963
01:16:22,820 --> 01:16:25,980
So as I said earlier, my priorities continuing the work to make

964
01:16:25,980 --> 01:16:31,080
toes of destination of choice for residents and businesses, and I think that spending decisions

965
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,900
should be made in a line note with the mission vision industry to plan for the city.

966
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,080
I think first, the first thing we have to make sure happens that

967
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,600
every year is essential services are supported.

968
01:16:41,460 --> 01:16:45,180
The city has to be able to continue to provide essential services to all residents

969
01:16:45,180 --> 01:16:48,980
to make sure that the quality of life stays strong in the city.

970
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,980
Secondly, we have to look at the long-term financial stability of the city,

971
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,840
including budgeting for long-term capital projects.

972
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,480
It's just reasonably servicing waste and stormwater management,

973
01:16:57,580 --> 01:16:58,840
and this will build things.

974
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,060
And probably things that I don't even have awareness of yet,

975
01:17:02,500 --> 01:17:06,060
as a laborers in here, but I think that category is crucial,

976
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,300
and shouldn't be neglected for short-term gains.

977
01:17:10,140 --> 01:17:13,740
And then, finally, any special projects that are considered on top of

978
01:17:13,740 --> 01:17:20,120
the two things that are required for the long-term financial stability should be evaluated based on

979
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:25,020
the long-term value of the city, financial plan, and the impact to our budget.

980
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,420
Asking our residents to pay increased property taxes should not be done lightly,

981
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:34,880
but sometimes it could be necessary and worth the investment in which case we should be willing to take

982
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:40,860
public comment and make the case and ultimately make the decision that the council believes is best

983
01:17:40,860 --> 01:17:44,400
for the long term by ability of the city.

984
01:17:47,380 --> 01:17:48,140
Follow up.

985
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:49,460
Yes, thank you.

986
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,040
Just because I asked the previous applicant that was virtual,

987
01:17:52,460 --> 01:17:54,500
are you here and told us, are you somewhere else?

988
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:55,880
I am somewhere else.

989
01:17:56,100 --> 01:17:58,060
I am actually in Nashville this week.

990
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,540
I'm really unfortunate timing for work.

991
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:06,820
My company headquarters is down here and all newer employees in the last quarter are on site

992
01:18:06,820 --> 01:18:09,660
for kind of an onboarding training for two days.

993
01:18:09,780 --> 01:18:11,200
Normally I travel for work.

994
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:18,040
I'm in town most of the time, but the short-term nature of the short-note is nature of this just

995
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:19,020
generally only flexibilities.

996
01:18:19,220 --> 01:18:24,460
I appreciate you accommodating me virtually for this, but I am not at home at the moment.

997
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:25,620
I appreciate it.

998
01:18:25,620 --> 01:18:32,120
One other question in your resume, you list all the things you do professionally,

999
01:18:34,940 --> 01:18:35,340
it appears

1000
01:18:35,340 --> 01:18:38,740
you've lived in Tosa for beyond six years, true.

1001
01:18:39,660 --> 01:18:45,740
I moved back to Wawatoza in 2020, so been just over six years.

1002
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:51,400
I lived in Shorewood for five years before that, and then I was in Wawatoza for

1003
01:18:52,260 --> 01:18:55,940
Wawatoza, and then like, immediately on the other side of the border in the Milwaukee,

1004
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,960
but right in the region for five or six years before that.

1005
01:18:59,180 --> 01:19:01,660
So I've been local for a long time.

1006
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,680
In those six years or so you've been here.

1007
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:09,940
Have you been involved in any community organizations in the area?

1008
01:19:13,740 --> 01:19:20,260
I really have not, in the area specifically, I guess, I'm on the board of, like I said,

1009
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:29,120
that nonprofit that is in the Milwaukee area for supporting, like, the arts, but specifically

1010
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:34,960
I have not gotten involved on specific boards or organizations.

1011
01:19:37,500 --> 01:19:38,620
Thank you.

1012
01:19:38,620 --> 01:19:38,840
Okay.

1013
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:39,940
Thank you.

1014
01:19:40,180 --> 01:19:42,760
We should take the time and join us from Nashville.

1015
01:19:43,260 --> 01:19:45,500
Of course, I'm happy to make it happen.

1016
01:19:45,700 --> 01:19:47,160
I appreciate you accommodating me.

1017
01:19:47,440 --> 01:19:49,080
Thank you for your application.

1018
01:19:49,780 --> 01:19:50,500
Appreciate it.

1019
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:53,980
One more candidate.

1020
01:19:56,100 --> 01:19:57,600
And he's here ahead of time.

1021
01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:58,540
So that's good.

1022
01:20:00,770 --> 01:20:15,050
Please take a seat. You probably figured this out, but you format is, we will ask you four questions. This is the same four questions that are going to ask of the other candidates, and you have five or so minutes to answer that.

1023
01:20:15,050 --> 01:20:21,170
below that, but total 30 minutes. Okay, I want it. We'll get on here. I'm sorry.

1024
01:20:22,210 --> 01:20:26,270
Our first question comes from Alder still Luca.

1025
01:20:31,090 --> 01:20:31,850
All right. Thank you.

1026
01:20:32,190 --> 01:20:37,650
That was having problems getting the mute button off. All right. Why are you interested in serving

1027
01:20:37,650 --> 01:20:42,430
as an older person and how do you personal and professional experiences qualify you for this appointment?

1028
01:20:43,630 --> 01:20:48,070
Sure. Well, yeah. Thank you. Thank you for having us tonight. My interest at its course

1029
01:20:48,070 --> 01:20:51,550
because I believe it's civic duty for us all to volunteer in this when there's an opportunity

1030
01:20:51,550 --> 01:20:57,470
to do so. This opportunity came up and I saw it as a great chance for me to land in my

1031
01:20:57,470 --> 01:21:02,750
skills and knowledge to the city, even if it's for an interim term, to try and just be part of

1032
01:21:02,750 --> 01:21:04,970
the conversation, part of the growth while we're toasting.

1033
01:21:08,450 --> 01:21:10,550
professionally where I feel like I can

1034
01:21:10,550 --> 01:21:16,050
really contribute to this is my day-to-day work involves handling very complex problems and effectively

1035
01:21:16,050 --> 01:21:23,490
managing timelines, resources, sorry, and timelines and resources specifically to reach

1036
01:21:23,490 --> 01:21:30,450
strict resolutions to very big issues. I work as a sales manager at Bosh of

1037
01:21:30,450 --> 01:21:35,230
Decision machinery of the Butler, and we import five lines of European machinery.

1038
01:21:36,070 --> 01:21:42,870
I am the logistics person for that, so my day-to-day involves making sure that everything from

1039
01:21:42,870 --> 01:21:48,650
Springs and bolts to heavy pieces is a press break machinery come in working with what just

1040
01:21:48,650 --> 01:21:54,830
six coordinators all around the world to make sure that these shipments adhere to North

1041
01:21:54,830 --> 01:22:03,450
America customs authority regulations and when I look at what city councils involved and what

1042
01:22:03,450 --> 01:22:09,050
I imagine the projects would be I believe that my ability to handle these kind of problems to

1043
01:22:09,050 --> 01:22:16,370
looking to the details while making sure that very heavy, heavy problems, heavy machinery is coming

1044
01:22:16,370 --> 01:22:23,890
here on time. I think it's helping to develop a very clear understanding of what we need to

1045
01:22:23,890 --> 01:22:30,130
support the very large scale project. I also manage a $2 million inventory system at our work that

1046
01:22:31,230 --> 01:22:37,010
I have been managing now for about three years. So I think really just yeah, to not show it, it's

1047
01:22:37,010 --> 01:22:43,010
I feel like I have a good sense of big problems and how to handle them at a district involvement in the city while I love them.

1048
01:22:45,290 --> 01:22:46,090
Thank you.

1049
01:22:46,210 --> 01:22:48,350
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1050
01:22:49,250 --> 01:22:51,090
Hi, thank you for being here.

1051
01:22:52,030 --> 01:22:55,610
What are your priorities for the city and the sixth district?

1052
01:22:55,970 --> 01:22:56,590
The sixth district.

1053
01:22:56,790 --> 01:22:57,010
Sure.

1054
01:22:57,970 --> 01:23:04,910
So, when this came up, I thought of three major topics that had been on my mind since I moved to Wawatoza

1055
01:23:04,910 --> 01:23:07,930
and that I would want to focus under in my time at City Council.

1056
01:23:09,090 --> 01:23:13,190
The first being safe streets, and I mean quite literally safe streets.

1057
01:23:13,690 --> 01:23:16,390
It's not a surprise in Milwaukee County. We have a bit of an issue of speeders,

1058
01:23:16,530 --> 01:23:20,750
reckless driving. I would like to spend my time here contributing to

1059
01:23:21,930 --> 01:23:26,590
literally being able to walk around the sixth district safely, knowing that regardless of your

1060
01:23:26,590 --> 01:23:34,890
physical limitations or abilities, whether you are find to walk in your own two feet or you need a

1061
01:23:34,890 --> 01:23:39,470
safely and securely, and know that you can walk our beautiful neighborhoods in the sixth district

1062
01:23:39,470 --> 01:23:44,950
without really having to worry about it. Part of the safe streets too, when this comes to mind,

1063
01:23:45,090 --> 01:23:51,710
is making sure that the actual sidewalks in the sixth district are level for people who again have mobility issues

1064
01:23:52,270 --> 01:23:58,810
as well as when the winter comes around, making sure that the slopes to get on the sidewalks are clear of ice and snow and debris,

1065
01:23:58,970 --> 01:24:03,690
so that again regardless of what your abilities are, you have access to every part of the district.

1066
01:24:05,050 --> 01:24:08,350
The second thing that comes to mind is affordability.

1067
01:24:09,330 --> 01:24:12,590
I want to make sure that everyone who wants to live in Walla-Tuice,

1068
01:24:12,590 --> 01:24:14,230
who tells they can do so.

1069
01:24:15,030 --> 01:24:18,430
And longtime residents continue to stay here and invest in our city.

1070
01:24:19,350 --> 01:24:23,110
While we can, as a municipality, can only do so much to sabotage,

1071
01:24:23,170 --> 01:24:26,670
rise and cost across the planet, across the world, and the country.

1072
01:24:28,250 --> 01:24:32,990
One small thing that I feel like we can do is

1073
01:24:32,990 --> 01:24:36,390
help in the facilitation of us to have

1074
01:24:36,390 --> 01:24:38,750
accessory dwelling units and existing properties.

1075
01:24:39,990 --> 01:24:43,540
It is something that I've been reading more about and learning more about.

1076
01:24:44,530 --> 01:24:53,570
It has the potential to both increase income for residents or and or cut costs for residents, either by renting it out and generating a new stream of income,

1077
01:24:54,090 --> 01:24:59,970
or reducing costs by maybe allowing someone who needs a living center to live on.

1078
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:10,340
Properties and therefore not have to spend that money elsewhere. This facilitation, I believe, too, can also be done without just by

1079
01:25:10,340 --> 01:25:20,780
looking at into introducing any potential red tape or cumbersome zoning restrictions that might be in place, I don't know if they even exist. But, if there are

1080
01:25:20,780 --> 01:25:26,960
are looking into that, making sure that people who want to approach this are able to do so. While also keeping a close sign, what kind

1081
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:30,140
products are being undertaken and making sure that our neighborhoods,

1082
01:25:30,500 --> 01:25:32,480
same neighborhoods and we're being good neighbors.

1083
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:37,660
The last point for this is maintaining a good business,

1084
01:25:37,780 --> 01:25:38,640
neighborhood relations.

1085
01:25:39,820 --> 01:25:41,960
I frequent a lot of businesses on Northath.

1086
01:25:42,300 --> 01:25:43,020
They're walkable.

1087
01:25:43,260 --> 01:25:45,040
They're part of what makes the district so appealing.

1088
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:47,140
They're part of what made me in my life.

1089
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:50,260
I think we hit the jackpot when we've got a house here 2022.

1090
01:25:51,460 --> 01:25:54,480
It's everything from breweries to grocery stores to restaurants.

1091
01:25:54,980 --> 01:26:01,160
And I want to, during my time in the city council, make sure that both sides of that equation are heard.

1092
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:09,960
If there are problems, questions, issues that arise on either side, I want both businesses and their neighbors, residential neighbors, to know that they have someone who's going to listen.

1093
01:26:10,780 --> 01:26:14,580
Someone who's going to hear of cake any concerns to city hall and make sure that the problems are solved.

1094
01:26:15,020 --> 01:26:18,420
And just make sure that no one is left out or feeling not heard.

1095
01:26:22,270 --> 01:26:23,450
Third question, all the guests.

1096
01:26:23,450 --> 01:26:26,090
So there's thanks for being here.

1097
01:26:26,130 --> 01:26:28,230
I'm sure you're going to get a question.

1098
01:26:29,030 --> 01:26:31,510
Number three is, what will design going to be a development

1099
01:26:31,510 --> 01:26:33,010
play in the city's financial health,

1100
01:26:33,590 --> 01:26:35,810
that does tax incremental financing and all of this?

1101
01:26:36,490 --> 01:26:36,690
Sure.

1102
01:26:38,990 --> 01:26:41,150
This is a key trend keep this brief.

1103
01:26:41,550 --> 01:26:43,910
I mean, the rule I'm going to implement plays is,

1104
01:26:43,970 --> 01:26:45,310
I think we all are kind of aware of that.

1105
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:47,610
And I think the last person that was speaking touched shy too.

1106
01:26:47,910 --> 01:26:50,390
I'm going to implement, as well as to increase the tax

1107
01:26:50,390 --> 01:26:50,650
space.

1108
01:26:50,810 --> 01:26:52,410
So it allows us to increase tax revenue.

1109
01:26:52,410 --> 01:27:01,110
that increased tax revenue over time will help to offset what I imagine will be increasing

1110
01:27:01,110 --> 01:27:08,230
municipal costs. Making sure that the city continues to develop and continues to have people

1111
01:27:08,230 --> 01:27:12,090
move here will generate sales tax revenue to for the state.

1112
01:27:17,020 --> 01:27:19,560
The role this tax incremental

1113
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:25,700
financing has ongoing development, has multiple answers, but I think the most important

1114
01:27:25,700 --> 01:27:30,240
aspects is that depending on the current needs of the city and the district that the

1115
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:36,140
wall that the financing is happening and while we chose as the option to figure out how

1116
01:27:36,140 --> 01:27:41,840
they want to leverage that financing. It can be it can change as the city grows over the years

1117
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:48,640
to come and it can be directed in appropriate fashion to either help offset the cost of development

1118
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:56,980
or aiding in incentivizing development by being allocated towards infrastructure needs, changes, improvements, point forward.

1119
01:27:57,740 --> 01:28:03,740
In regards to how the TIF effects, the overall financial health, it kind of circles back to my first point.

1120
01:28:03,820 --> 01:28:10,000
If we're helping to spur our development, if we are helping to increase the tax base, we're helping to increase tax revenue over the years.

1121
01:28:12,620 --> 01:28:14,120
Yep. Thank you.

1122
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,000
older foliar, fourth question.

1123
01:28:16,940 --> 01:28:19,100
Hi, as part of being an older person,

1124
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:20,580
you will be presenting with decisions

1125
01:28:20,580 --> 01:28:22,020
about taxes and budgeting.

1126
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:23,840
What would be your priorities

1127
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:25,620
in allocating limited resources?

1128
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:30,960
So for me, the top two items that come to mind

1129
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:32,860
what I think about allocating limited resources,

1130
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,040
the safety and essential services,

1131
01:28:35,440 --> 01:28:37,000
both of which really go hand in hand

1132
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,960
but to kind of personal out of it,

1133
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:42,040
safety in mind includes everything as simple

1134
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:43,940
as level sidewalks, cloud roads,

1135
01:28:44,500 --> 01:28:46,760
two more specific items like senior resources,

1136
01:28:47,440 --> 01:28:49,180
traffic calming effects, stormwater management,

1137
01:28:49,500 --> 01:28:50,480
those all, those things.

1138
01:28:50,660 --> 01:28:52,480
In my mind, after especially after looking

1139
01:28:52,480 --> 01:28:54,340
at the flooding last year, those things

1140
01:28:54,340 --> 01:28:55,500
are all part of safety.

1141
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:59,040
So making sure that the infrastructure itself

1142
01:28:59,740 --> 01:29:02,760
and is up to code, they're not up to code necessarily.

1143
01:29:02,940 --> 01:29:05,320
But it's safe, it's working, it's making sure

1144
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,900
that people know that their city is working for them.

1145
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:10,200
And of course, the second one,

1146
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:14,960
more obvious, police firefighters, EMT services, the health department, all those things.

1147
01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:21,000
I would essentially budget the same way most of us budget our households, you know,

1148
01:29:21,100 --> 01:29:22,420
needs first, want second,

1149
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:28,880
and taxes will never make anyone happy. I get that, but

1150
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:34,240
residents should continue to know that their taxes are being spent in a way

1151
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:39,760
that it proves the city and they should feel confident that those essential services are in place

1152
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:43,460
and making what we're supposed to continue to be a safe place to live.

1153
01:29:45,810 --> 01:29:46,070
Follow up.

1154
01:29:46,190 --> 01:29:46,990
I may have a follow up.

1155
01:29:48,010 --> 01:29:48,910
I'm supposed to.

1156
01:29:49,250 --> 01:29:52,630
Same question as I have asked maybe one or two other people.

1157
01:29:53,070 --> 01:29:54,130
You mentioned essential services.

1158
01:29:54,730 --> 01:29:56,170
Let's not essential service.

1159
01:29:56,550 --> 01:29:59,110
What are non essential services in your mind?

1160
01:29:59,510 --> 01:29:59,970
Oh gosh.

1161
01:30:05,420 --> 01:30:26,560
Yarways collection. I guess it's not essential. It's very nice. I mean, it makes a big difference. I would hesitate to say it's not essential, but it doesn't affect day-to-day commutes, so I must leave files get really big, which sometimes you got to go through them a little bit, but I would put that up there.

1162
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,880
So, and last question I just asked recently, too,

1163
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:37,520
is on your materials you mentioned, you list things

1164
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:38,740
that you've done in the area.

1165
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:42,020
Could you talk about any community involvement you've had?

1166
01:30:42,540 --> 01:30:42,720
Sure.

1167
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:46,120
I was formerly on Pacific Celebration Committee,

1168
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:48,940
Mayor Kathy Alley, he pointed at pointed me to that.

1169
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:51,940
I was there for, I believe, two years

1170
01:30:51,940 --> 01:30:54,340
I'll have to plant two independent state parades.

1171
01:30:54,340 --> 01:30:59,280
And I was very briefly on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Committee.

1172
01:30:59,960 --> 01:31:04,720
The only reason it was brief is because I ended up moving out of the district that I was represented on the committee.

1173
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:15,640
And on a, on a paid, it was in a paid role, but I was the event planner for the Wavocosa Historical Society for a year.

1174
01:31:15,860 --> 01:31:21,800
And it helped them to plan a proper fast or murder mystery night, the Firefly Art Fair, and it's like that.

1175
01:31:27,470 --> 01:31:32,350
You mentioned one of your three parties, business neighbor, business neighbor related relations.

1176
01:31:33,090 --> 01:31:35,510
You also mentioned that upcoming North Avenue project.

1177
01:31:37,610 --> 01:31:39,650
What would you do if anything?

1178
01:31:40,690 --> 01:31:43,390
That is going to be a big project that's going to last by two years.

1179
01:31:44,050 --> 01:31:49,190
What would you do to assist a neighborhood that businesses that will be impacted by the project?

1180
01:31:52,740 --> 01:31:55,840
At the risk of giving a non-answer, I think I'd want to talk to them first

1181
01:31:55,840 --> 01:31:57,340
and understand their needs.

1182
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:03,760
The first item that comes to mind is I imagine parking is going to become a complication,

1183
01:32:03,820 --> 01:32:05,420
especially in the residential neighborhoods.

1184
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:12,080
You look at the parking even by a lion's tail brewing and that we're so popular and they do

1185
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:16,440
such good business and they've become a wonderful community hub, but the parking goes all the way to

1186
01:32:16,440 --> 01:32:22,680
the street. And I imagine I don't know how I don't have an answer, but dealing with parking

1187
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:26,640
overflow on residential streets or do something that would be a probably intermediate concern

1188
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:27,480
for the residents.

1189
01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:30,580
Thank you.

1190
01:32:30,580 --> 01:32:32,160
Do you know what other things?

1191
01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:35,200
I knew her briefly at the Historical Society.

1192
01:32:38,100 --> 01:32:38,460
Okay.

1193
01:32:39,780 --> 01:32:40,340
That's it.

1194
01:32:40,440 --> 01:32:41,760
Thank you very much for coming in.

1195
01:32:42,060 --> 01:32:42,500
We're fine.

1196
01:32:42,700 --> 01:32:43,320
We appreciate it.

1197
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:43,640
Absolutely.

1198
01:32:43,740 --> 01:32:44,580
Thank you for your time.

1199
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:45,460
Thank you.

1200
01:32:48,190 --> 01:32:48,430
Okay.

1201
01:32:50,530 --> 01:32:51,270
In the interviews.

1202
01:32:53,290 --> 01:32:55,690
I think we should take a five minute break.

1203
01:32:59,110 --> 01:33:03,150
Let's stretch our legs a little bit and let it come. We can be in the five minutes.

1204
01:38:41,490 --> 01:38:47,340
Okay, I really see them. We were at the zoo for two weeks, like two weeks ago and three weeks ago.

1205
01:38:47,770 --> 01:38:51,450
Oh, they're cute. Oh, my goodness.

1206
01:38:51,450 --> 01:38:53,310
I think we need to do that.

1207
01:38:53,390 --> 01:38:54,650
Oh, this is it.

1208
01:38:54,670 --> 01:38:55,010
There we go.

1209
01:38:55,390 --> 01:38:56,790
We have a membership right this morning.

1210
01:38:57,150 --> 01:38:57,490
Do you know?

1211
01:38:57,550 --> 01:38:58,730
Oh, yeah, they go all the time.

1212
01:38:58,890 --> 01:39:00,050
Yeah, I think we need to find it.

1213
01:39:00,050 --> 01:39:00,970
My egg was made.

1214
01:39:01,370 --> 01:39:02,210
It was getting tired of it.

1215
01:39:02,230 --> 01:39:03,790
Yeah, I'm busy outside and below.

1216
01:39:04,550 --> 01:39:04,570
Yeah.

1217
01:39:04,970 --> 01:39:06,070
I'm eight and six.

1218
01:39:06,290 --> 01:39:06,570
All right.

1219
01:39:07,230 --> 01:39:09,350
Let's ask a good fact that business here.

1220
01:39:10,510 --> 01:39:13,850
Our first order now is to conduct a boat.

1221
01:39:14,990 --> 01:39:16,230
And see what happens again.

1222
01:39:16,750 --> 01:39:19,450
If anyone gets three boats, that person will be the nominee.

1223
01:39:20,370 --> 01:39:30,950
And if not, then the lowest will be dropped, and we, let me have some discussion and continue with more.

1224
01:39:32,150 --> 01:39:34,790
So, how do we do this for him?

1225
01:39:35,370 --> 01:39:36,250
Oh, he's going to be here.

1226
01:39:36,250 --> 01:39:36,950
He's going to be here.

1227
01:39:37,370 --> 01:39:38,050
Oh, okay.

1228
01:39:39,010 --> 01:39:39,310
Yeah.

1229
01:39:39,310 --> 01:39:41,930
I was emailing D and...

1230
01:39:43,340 --> 01:39:43,720
No.

1231
01:39:44,220 --> 01:39:45,460
Oh, sorry.

1232
01:39:47,380 --> 01:39:47,980
That guy.

1233
01:39:48,660 --> 01:39:53,420
Well, no, I remember. I'm trying to follow

1234
01:39:53,420 --> 01:39:56,480
Adam Koli's formalities and call them.

1235
01:39:57,380 --> 01:39:58,280
That's good.

1236
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:05,060
Now, remember, on these, you write the name and your initials.

1237
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:23,140
And then work like that.

1238
01:40:23,140 --> 01:40:23,960
I think the victim.

1239
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:30,220
No question.

1240
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:32,280
You don't have them.

1241
01:40:36,950 --> 01:40:37,730
Take it now.

1242
01:40:38,150 --> 01:40:38,150
Okay.

1243
01:40:42,850 --> 01:40:45,350
Do you want me to write in these out of these of paper?

1244
01:40:46,710 --> 01:40:47,010
Sure.

1245
01:40:47,710 --> 01:40:47,830
Yeah.

1246
01:40:48,030 --> 01:40:48,330
Absolutely.

1247
01:41:17,930 --> 01:41:19,330
You can do that.

1248
01:41:19,330 --> 01:41:19,590
Yes.

1249
01:41:20,870 --> 01:41:21,250
Okay.

1250
01:41:27,620 --> 01:41:31,340
Although I got an out of office from D, I don't think that's accurate.

1251
01:41:32,460 --> 01:41:32,560
No.

1252
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:34,060
So

1253
01:41:36,460 --> 01:41:39,120
we have a two, two, one.

1254
01:41:39,700 --> 01:41:39,760
Okay.

1255
01:41:41,580 --> 01:41:44,080
You all need to say who they are?

1256
01:41:45,060 --> 01:41:45,280
Yeah.

1257
01:41:46,900 --> 01:41:50,380
You have two votes for John Myers,

1258
01:41:54,200 --> 01:42:00,180
two votes for Derek Stylitz, and one vote for Joe.

1259
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:02,180
So I hear.

1260
01:42:11,450 --> 01:42:11,890
So

1261
01:42:19,730 --> 01:42:19,810
I hear.

1262
01:42:19,810 --> 01:42:23,430
So just a anger and hammison.

1263
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:29,240
You want to continue voting?

1264
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:31,640
Are you going to talk about it?

1265
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:34,700
I would just continue voting.

1266
01:42:34,700 --> 01:42:34,920
Fine.

1267
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:36,940
I would just continue voting.

1268
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:38,720
I would also.

1269
01:42:40,260 --> 01:42:42,940
I think we just discussed last night that we weren't going to discuss.

1270
01:42:43,440 --> 01:42:44,020
We're going to just know.

1271
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:44,620
Well, yeah.

1272
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:45,720
Okay.

1273
01:42:47,440 --> 01:42:50,080
So we have two from wires, two from assignments,

1274
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,080
and one presupplyer.

1275
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:53,980
Let's have another round.

1276
01:42:59,940 --> 01:43:00,820
Thank you.

1277
01:43:04,810 --> 01:43:06,230
Let's have another round.

1278
01:43:06,230 --> 01:43:06,290
Thank you.

1279
01:43:06,290 --> 01:43:06,410
Thank you.

1280
01:43:12,990 --> 01:43:16,310
That's not turned to another world, doesn't it?

1281
01:43:16,410 --> 01:43:18,110
Or a council president.

1282
01:43:19,690 --> 01:43:20,530
A fire commissioner.

1283
01:43:20,730 --> 01:43:21,130
Fire commissioner.

1284
01:43:21,570 --> 01:43:23,390
What's the fact that the fire president is.

1285
01:43:23,930 --> 01:43:24,090
The fire commissioner.

1286
01:43:24,390 --> 01:43:25,350
I think the

1287
01:43:29,580 --> 01:43:30,200
truth is out in that.

1288
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:31,760
I said, I don't know.

1289
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:34,580
I said, look for the sustainability of the system.

1290
01:43:34,580 --> 01:43:39,980
And now again, the lowest vote total on this one will be dropped out.

1291
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:42,240
Captain Flash.

1292
01:43:43,020 --> 01:43:43,900
Captain Flash.

1293
01:43:44,700 --> 01:43:46,780
It was copy that.

1294
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:49,220
I'm going to get you a CD.

1295
01:43:49,580 --> 01:43:50,660
It's a radio everything.

1296
01:43:56,460 --> 01:43:57,980
Please tell me.

1297
01:43:58,200 --> 01:44:02,100
I don't want to annoy anyone that's in the room.

1298
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:02,680
Oh,

1299
01:44:07,700 --> 01:44:08,740
I'm going to see you again.

1300
01:44:23,330 --> 01:44:23,570
What?

1301
01:44:24,330 --> 01:44:25,550
The same result.

1302
01:44:25,650 --> 01:44:26,310
Same results.

1303
01:44:27,470 --> 01:44:28,590
Sorry, Mr. Dwyer,

1304
01:44:32,440 --> 01:44:36,420
I do appreciate your interest in the job and you're coming in and talking about it.

1305
01:44:36,700 --> 01:44:37,600
Absolutely, thank you very much.

1306
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:38,420
Thank you, sir.

1307
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:40,060
Thank you.

1308
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:41,840
Okay, we have a few candidates left.

1309
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:44,260
They will do Rob's free.

1310
01:44:47,700 --> 01:44:48,300
Thank you, sir.

1311
01:44:50,860 --> 01:44:51,580
Let me have a look.

1312
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:51,980
I agree.

1313
01:45:16,480 --> 01:45:17,000
Thank you.

1314
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:17,400
I did an upset.

1315
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:18,880
What a

1316
01:45:36,890 --> 01:45:37,630
walk for you.

1317
01:45:37,810 --> 01:45:39,130
I'm getting myself sent.

1318
01:45:40,890 --> 01:45:44,420
I count double after

1319
01:45:47,170 --> 01:45:47,490
seven.

1320
01:45:47,530 --> 01:45:48,170
Good enough.

1321
01:46:16,420 --> 01:46:20,180
So there are three votes for John Myers.

1322
01:46:21,420 --> 01:46:22,200
Then two first time.

1323
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:25,120
Thank you.

1324
01:46:25,380 --> 01:46:30,420
Mr. Myers will be our nominee to go past under the council and might be a special meeting.

1325
01:46:31,890 --> 01:46:37,970
in early September or mid September. We're not sure about that yet. Okay, so you'll be the nominee.

1326
01:46:38,250 --> 01:46:42,170
So Mr. Chair, just finally I would move, you know, nominate Mr. Chair.

1327
01:46:42,430 --> 01:46:43,290
Sorry, you're right, you're right.

1328
01:46:43,290 --> 01:46:52,210
I would move to nominate Mr. Myers as the appointed Alderman for the six district until the April 2027 election.

1329
01:46:52,970 --> 01:46:55,530
No, of second. No, no, no, no.

1330
01:46:55,590 --> 01:46:57,830
Yeah, all the buses and seconds. Thank you.

1331
01:46:58,110 --> 01:46:58,710
All the favor?

1332
01:46:59,110 --> 01:46:59,290
Hi.

1333
01:47:00,670 --> 01:47:07,670
Okay, we're done tonight, we got your questions, thank you for your consideration.

1334
01:47:08,670 --> 01:47:09,910
Thank you for your

1335
01:47:12,020 --> 01:47:12,020
advice.

1336
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:13,240
Thank you.
