1 00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:45,559 on campus like smaller. 2 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,480 » I wish I kind of did like when you go to call on them next 3 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,760 year. Yeah, they will get one, too. 4 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,640 » All right, we're going to call to order our uh Wood Village City Council and 5 00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:15,400 Urban Renewal Agency meeting. Um, if I could get uh any willing volunteer to 6 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,400 read the land acknowledgement. 7 00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:22,439 » Thank you. 8 00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:30,320 » Just got to need to take my glasses off or not. 9 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,799 The Chinukan people known as the Clakamus and Cascades are the indigenous 10 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:40,320 people of the land now inhabited by the city of Wood Village and other areas of 11 00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:45,439 the Columbia River. The village of Naki was located near today's Blue Lake Park. 12 00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:50,720 Ancestral life of these people included a seasonal round of resource gathering 13 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,479 and stewardship from the Wapedo fields and fishing areas of the Columbia River 14 00:01:52,640 --> 00:02:00,000 to the cedar and huckleberry gathering areas of the High Cascades. introduced 15 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:04,960 disease from early settlers dramatically reduced the number of these people. They 16 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,800 signed the Wamtt Valley Treaty of 1855 with the United States government and 17 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,959 were forcibly removed to the Grand Ron Indian Reservation. We thank the 18 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,920 descendants of these tribes for being the original stewards and protectors of 19 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,080 these lands since time and memorial. We also acknowledge the systemic policies 20 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,560 of genocide, relocation, and assimilation that still impact many 21 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,480 indigenous and Native American families today. We're honored by the collective 22 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:35,200 work of these Native nations, their leaders and families uh who are 23 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,519 demonstrating resilience, resistance, revitalization, healing, and creativity. 24 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:42,400 And we are honored to be guests upon these lands. 25 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:45,560 » Thank you. Now, we stand for the pledge of allegiance. 26 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,800 To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it 27 00:02:51,760 --> 00:03:00,120 stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice 28 00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:00,120 for all. 29 00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:06,720 » Thank you. We'll go ahead and uh move to urban renewal budget adoption 30 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,319 presentation. >> Thank you very much, Mayor, members of 31 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:16,319 the urban renewal board. Thanks for making time here this evening for our 32 00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:21,599 2026 2027 budget. Uh just again quick reminders for watching at home. So the 33 00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:25,760 district formed in 202010 but we say it was viable around 2015 16 because that's 34 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,000 when we actually started receiving increment from the district that allowed 35 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,400 projects to move forward. Our total authorized debt limit is just over 11.5 36 00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:40,000 12 million. And we did our first and so far only plan amendment in 2019 that 37 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,560 added that this little section here where we're currently sitting and the 38 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:51,120 the board reprioritized the various projects uh in the plan because totaled 39 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,239 over 11.5 million. So uh went through all the projects, rep prioritized them 40 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,760 and made all the projects fit within that framework. 41 00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:04,400 Typically uh in budgets you you get revisions from proposed to approved or 42 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:08,319 then approved to adopted. That is not the case this year. Uh there were no 43 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:12,560 revisions at the budget hearing back in April and no staff revisions between 44 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:17,680 that hearing and tonight. So the budget is is exactly how you all saw it uh back 45 00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:22,240 in April. When looking at expenses, this is 46 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:26,880 looking at it in a in a pie chart. You see the capital outlay and debt service 47 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,639 are the lion share of the budget which is appropriate given that urban rule is 48 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:36,080 supposed to build things, incentivize things, do things, not just pay staff. 49 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,440 Um, so again, and most of that capital, all the capital outlay, the 500,000 is a 50 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,880 placeholder to take advantage of potential opportunities in the upcoming 51 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,400 fiscal year. I'm going to touch on what that could look like here in the next 52 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,520 slide or two. So again when we look at our major 53 00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:55,919 expenses operations about 150,000 uh that staff time plus we increase the 54 00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,080 amount of the city attorney allocation and our planners allocation figuring the 55 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,639 confederated tribes of the grand drawn have signal that they want to begin a 56 00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:09,440 sight specific master plan first part of 2027. So first part of the calendar year 57 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:15,199 but latter half of our fiscal year. So, we've planned for additional uh 58 00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,080 consultant time as deals may be worked, whether it's incentive agreements or 59 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,479 just the planning effort through that master plan process. We have our debt 60 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,039 service payments, which the majority is our bond and then a loan to the city. 61 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:32,880 And then that again that capital under five 500,000 which could be used towards 62 00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:38,240 um matching funds towards a grant to help pay for the master plan update as 63 00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:44,240 part of a larger incentive agreement or very early development of the Grand Ron 64 00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:48,960 site. Most likely we'll be using this fiscal year for the planning process and 65 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:55,440 the next fiscal we is when we'd probably anticipate more capital type work. 66 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,600 Um so again as you've all heard uh the last uh the last couple of debt service 67 00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:03,440 payments take the bulk of all the resource from urban renewal but that 68 00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:06,960 doesn't mean one we can't take on some smaller projects or help in the planning 69 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,080 of the master plan site for the Greyhound park. Also if the Grand Ron 70 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,800 moves incredibly quickly and wants to get shovels in the dirt this fiscal uh 71 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,479 we can always bring a package back to you all for a supplemental budget which 72 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,319 would be more of a bond refinance based on whatever that project looks like. But 73 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:29,759 we're not anticipating that. That would be very quick process given they don't 74 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:34,000 plan to start the master plan till early 2027. That has to go through it and then 75 00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:38,880 you have to work up all your engineered plans, details, etc. So pretty much 76 00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:43,600 we're planning for a lot of planning in this coming fiscal year. So with that, 77 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,680 it's a pretty status quo budget that anticipates planning work for the period 78 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,440 ahead, but no other capital construction and we're able to afford our debt 79 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:56,319 service payments. What questions may I entertain before the recommended uh 80 00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:03,039 motions are before you? >> Questions common by the agency. 81 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,039 » I'm sorry such a long presentation. I can 82 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:17,919 » hearing none. I'd entertain a motion. I move to adopt resolution URA1-2026 83 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:23,280 adopting the Wood Village Urban Renewal District budget as amended for the 84 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:26,639 fiscal year of 2026 2027 and making appropriations. 85 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,400 » I'll second. >> First and second. Any further 86 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,520 discussion? All those in favor? 87 00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:39,280 » I. >> Any oppose? 88 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:45,440 Carries. And then I move to adopt resolution URA2-2026 89 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,479 certifying to the county assessor a request for the maximum amount of 90 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:54,960 revenue that can be raised by dividing the taxes as provided by the Oregon 91 00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:57,599 Constitution Oregon statutes 457. >> A second. 92 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,199 » First and second. Any further discussions? 93 00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:05,280 All those in favor? >> I. 94 00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:08,800 » Any opposed? Motion carries. And just one last thing before uh you're allowed 95 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,080 to either have additional conversation or adjourn, just remind want to remind 96 00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:17,759 the urban renewal members of our appreciation event uh next Thursday. So 97 00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:22,080 hopefully you can all make it and have a joyous time. I think the weather is 98 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:27,039 looking reasonable. >> Yes, we're really excited. 99 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,479 » So yeah, hope you can all make it. Just a little reminder, we'll send out 100 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:35,200 another one, but since you're all here with that, I have nothing further. 101 00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:40,000 » With that, the members are a uh, you know, at your discretion can stay or you 102 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:43,120 guys are free to go. >> Thank you. 103 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,920 » Thanks. Good night. >> Do we have to wait until 6? 104 00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:51,279 » Yes, we do. >> My signature on this document with my 105 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,440 name on it. We'll 106 00:08:51,519 --> 00:09:00,040 » take a seven minute break. 107 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,040 Yeah, you see. 108 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,080 Heat. 109 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,240 Heat. 110 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:34,279 Hey, 111 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040 Heat. 112 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,240 Heat. 113 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,320 Hey, 114 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,680 Heat. Hey, heat. Hey, heat. 115 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:37,440 I don't think you say anything anymore. >> We're going to go ahead and start our 116 00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:43,040 Wood Village City Council meeting. Um, we'll go ahead and move on to citizen 117 00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:46,639 comments on on agenda items. And yes, we we have one. They didn't necessarily 118 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:51,920 request it be brought to the council, but I wanted to relay it anyway. Uh, it 119 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:59,120 was a homeowner on ash had concerns about a home on maple, overgrown 120 00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:03,360 vegetation, um, general items stored around the property. It's been a 121 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:08,399 long-term one, you know, a couple decade kind of thing. And again, uh, several 122 00:16:06,079 --> 00:16:12,720 years ago, we brought to the council, uh, Jeff Con had worked up a legal 123 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:17,759 analysis of basically code enforcement in Oregon and certainly things out of 124 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:23,519 the view of the public right away. While not impossible, very high level bar to 125 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:27,440 to pass in order to enforce some of that. So, we've been trying to 126 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:31,120 communicate that to the people on Ash that back up to this particular property 127 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:36,639 and trying to find some other options and alternatives because again, it's if 128 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:42,399 we can't see it, it's very very difficult to enforce and can open up 129 00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:46,480 some legal um liability that I don't think we want to get into. Um, but just 130 00:16:44,959 --> 00:16:50,000 wanted to bring it forward in case you know they may want to write a letter or 131 00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:55,199 come to a future council meeting just so you're aware of it. But it's it's a 132 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,800 long-standing um home that just kind of gets behind. 133 00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:00,320 So that's all. >> Well, thank you, Greg, for bringing 134 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:13,120 that. >> I had uh one neighbor come to me, 135 00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:19,199 uh we need a pickle ball court. >> Okay. 136 00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:25,439 Very popular. No. would really enjoy one. And I said, 137 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:28,319 I don't know where we put one, but I'll let everybody know 138 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:34,080 » it. You know, they they are really popular. They actually are quite noise, 139 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:38,320 surprisingly noisy. I mean, um, we did, I want to say it's two years ago now. We 140 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:43,760 worked with Mabate to look at converting the upper parking lot into kind of a 141 00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:49,679 multi-port court covered facility kind of complex and 142 00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:53,840 didn't didn't fit well. and it almost disrupted more of the park flow and 143 00:17:51,919 --> 00:17:57,520 that's been I think the challenge of our our park and park system. Certainly we 144 00:17:55,919 --> 00:18:01,520 have the new wetland park coming online hopefully a year from now that's a 145 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:06,559 wetland park it's a nature park. Uh we have this park where it's you know half 146 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:10,080 recreation half nature trail but in terms of like the more active recreation 147 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:16,400 unless we take away space from the field it's really hard to program that in. I 148 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:19,360 think what would be an optimal idea as maybe part of the Grand Ron 149 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:25,600 redevelopment as we talk about that community hub um concept maybe adding in 150 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,760 whether they're interior exterior sport courts uh that could aid in both um 151 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:34,559 recreation programming as well as like open play opportunities. So, I think we 152 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,840 we've certainly heard that from the community, whether it's, you know, more 153 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:41,919 a full-size basketball court, you know, more football, uh, pickle ball. 154 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,080 Certainly, uh, I think we want to be mindful of that as we explore that 155 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:50,480 potential opportunity because it seems like that's the the 156 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:55,280 best area to try to program some new, more active recreation given the 157 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,919 existing constraints here. And then at the wetland park. 158 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,000 It's more food for thought, but yes, pickle ball is very popular and I don't 159 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:11,840 I don't see that waning anytime soon. >> There's no room down by the gazebo 160 00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:15,760 um accommodate >> a 161 00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:18,000 without moving any trees and >> Oh, no. You'd have to cut down a couple 162 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,120 of trees. >> There there'd be tradeoffs for for sure. 163 00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:25,200 » But anyway, >> but I mean it's it's anything's 164 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:28,799 possible. That's what's the tradeoffs. Uh but we are looking to schedule a 165 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:33,760 parks commission meeting call it mid July time and one of the topics is that 166 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:38,559 grove area what is its future because certainly part of it works really well 167 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:43,039 is active picnicking and the rest seems a bit underutilized. 168 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:46,480 » Okay. >> All right. We'll go ahead and move 169 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,960 forward with our public safety report with our chief 170 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:08,880 Good evening. So, uh, public safety report for last 171 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:15,200 month for May. Uh, so deputies responded to 333 calls 172 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:19,600 during the month. Uh, 195 of those were selfinitiated. 173 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:24,000 Um, including 106 traffic stops. Um, let's see. There were 12 accidents, 174 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:28,240 traffic crashes in May. All pretty minor, the same as last month, April. 175 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:35,200 So, kind of seeing that still consistent, just inattentive driving 176 00:20:31,679 --> 00:20:40,799 throughout throughout the city. Um, and then obviously May 15th there was a 177 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:46,000 shooting. You guys are all aware. So, uh, involved two juveniles, so can't 178 00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:50,400 give out too many details, but, um, the victim and the suspect were known to 179 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:57,919 each other. victim's expected to make a full recovery suspects in Juvie or Don 180 00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:04,159 Leong. So, um turned himself in with that too. So, that at least ended uh 181 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:09,360 peacefully. And then, uh we talked about it before, but on May 22nd, two deputies 182 00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:15,679 worked an enhanced patrol mission in the city, and they were focusing on traffic 183 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:21,280 enforcement and high visibility patrol. um made over 30 traffic stops and 184 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:24,799 conducted multiple extra patrols on that day. Um I don't know if you guys saw 185 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:29,919 them out there, but they were busy, wrote quite a few tickets. So, 186 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:35,360 » I have to make a comment. Um the day after that incident, um one of the 187 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:41,039 officers was at uh the middle school in the morning greeting the students cuz I 188 00:21:37,679 --> 00:21:44,799 dropped my kids off and um just because of the all the uncertainty and it was 189 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:49,280 just nice, you know, just waving at them, giving them little high fives and 190 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:54,480 whatnot. Um that was like a sense of community and like there was safety 191 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,679 » when um there was presence there. >> So I have to um thank you for that. 192 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,760 » Oh yeah, thank you.

It does show our community that, you know, you guys are a partner 199 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:31,840 with us and really want that safety. Uh, so I mean, we highly appreciate just 200 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,600 that level of service that you guys provide. 201 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,559 » Great.

And so uh I appreciate you, Chief, uh and those other deputies 260 00:27:05,919 --> 00:27:11,919 that came out really I think uh it was very impactful. Uh we got great response 261 00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:15,520 by those community members that they really appreciate you guys coming and 262 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:20,000 again uh building that community, building that partnership and just uh 263 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:23,440 sharing resources on how how to be how they can be better neighbors and how 264 00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:25,679 they can move forward with some progress on changing some things. So I appreciate 265 00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:29,440 that. >> Yeah. No, thank you. It was great 266 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:33,919 opportunity. A lot of nice people. So it's fun to fun to be there. 267 00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:37,520 Then if I could just add one last thing, not to put you on the spot, chief, but 268 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,919 just as a good I think reminder is the Fourth of July and firework season is 269 00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:45,279 coming upon us both, you know, what are reasonable community expectations and 270 00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:49,919 also you know the sheriff's office general response given you know it's 271 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:54,000 very busy weekend um and you know the ability to respond to every call 272 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:58,880 especially you know non-lifethreatening ones is very much diminished 273 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:04,960 » right so typically our response to like fire firework calls is they are aired as 274 00:28:02,159 --> 00:28:09,200 information. Um, if there is some type of like life safety issue like it's 275 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:14,480 going into a tree, it's going to catch on fire, it's going into my house. Um, 276 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:19,840 things like that, then deputies will will respond as they can because we get 277 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:23,520 a ton of calls those nights. Um, and a lot of them come in as people are 278 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:29,120 reporting gunshots or different things that they have to check. So, 279 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:34,000 um, I mean, don't be upset that they're not coming. it just kind of the 280 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:39,200 overwhelm. It completely overwhelms the system usually everywhere, you know, 281 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:43,760 non-stop fireworks. So, um if there are life safety issues creating fires, 282 00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:48,520 obviously we're very sensitive to that and will respond to those kind of 283 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,520 instances. 284 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:54,159 » Thank you.

So, we'll take 290 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:22,480 care of it first thing tomorrow because they're usually really really solid 291 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:29,120 about fixing those. So, it probably just got skipped through either vacations or 292 00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:36,399 just what have you.

Uh 309 00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:47,840 » so if if you could just it says regular, but you could put like quarter behind it 310 00:30:46,399 --> 00:30:50,399 so you know that it's a quarterly payment so people looking at it would 311 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,000 » not monthly. >> Not ask. 312 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:58,000 » Yeah.

Now, for our city budget for the upcoming fiscal year. So, 347 00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:50,880 again, a recap. Uh mostly from the budget hearing back in April, we have no 348 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:56,240 changes in the total number of personnel. All operating budgets have 349 00:33:53,279 --> 00:34:00,559 operating revenues in excess of cost. Maybe some just paper thin margin but 350 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,399 still a margin and that is on operating. So that doesn't include the one time or 351 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:09,200 the capital and fire service costs continue to be you know a focal point 352 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:12,240 and we've also continue to include you know we've been calling it temporary 353 00:34:10,399 --> 00:34:17,280 fire station. We're kind of resaying it as it's a new permanent location. have a 354 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:21,679 temporary facility until you know a new fire district you know spins up and can 355 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,839 figure out what exact facilities needed for the long term. So temporary facility 356 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,839 permanent location and then the community engagement that goes around 357 00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:34,480 both the current work and potential for an uh a levy. 358 00:34:32,399 --> 00:34:38,480 So when you look at the total budget for all funds, so again this is not just 359 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:44,159 operating but the total as funds move back and forth. Um overall total is 360 00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:47,440 relatively flat. Uh but you have growth in the sinking fund which makes sense as 361 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,480 we're accumulating funds for new purchases. Sewer because uh we've 362 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:56,639 pivoted from doing the trunkline project that was in previous budgets to focus on 363 00:34:54,399 --> 00:35:01,920 manhole ceiling to see what that does to reduce our inflow and infiltration and 364 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:07,760 needing less capacity in the future. So those are the biggest moving pieces 365 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:11,440 around the total budget. When we look at the modifications from proposed uh to 366 00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:16,160 recommended by the budget committee, that's where we added the $10,000 to add 367 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,760 parking lot lighting or adjust parking lot lighting in the park. That was the 368 00:35:17,839 --> 00:35:25,560 one uh amendment that the budget committee made. So that is incorporated 369 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,560 into this budget here. 370 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:34,320 Um so again, operating revenues weren't up a lot. Um again as we budget and 371 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:38,480 project we try to be more conservative on the revenue sides and a little more 372 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:43,040 pessimistic on the operating costs. Typically we come in in excessive 373 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:49,920 revenues and below cost but we have revenues about8% operating cost almost 374 00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:55,599 4%. But again um some of it may be a razor thin operating margin but there's 375 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:59,440 still margin. Um and when you look here which is how it's broken up. So 376 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:03,760 personnel is 37 per percent of our budget materials and supplies 51. A lot 377 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:08,640 of that is based on again we contract out for police and fire and 911. So 378 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:12,240 we're not carrying those direct staff. Uh so that's where those are reflected. 379 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,839 In a lot of other cities you may see that reversed, but that's because we're 380 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:19,480 contracting out and it lives in that materials and supplies. 381 00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:26,320 Um before we get to these motions, obviously time for for questions. I just 382 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:31,359 want to point out something as I'm sure we've all been hearing the different 383 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:36,480 financial concerns and considerations. Uh the county had a 12-hour long budget 384 00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:40,720 session last week and that was along with all their other processes. And I 385 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:44,240 don't want people to think whether it's you all or community to think, oh gee, 386 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:49,040 six lives of your budget, you don't care. In fact, the six lives of the 387 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:55,280 budget is I think proof of the financial stewardship of not just you know you all 388 00:36:51,920 --> 00:37:00,000 this year staff but of you know past several years decade plus of prudent 389 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:04,720 financial management that allows us to be in this spot of yes we can maintain 390 00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:10,880 current service levels. We don't need to introduce new fees or have large 391 00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:14,560 increases to public safety fees etc or make very difficult budget decisions 392 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:21,119 about what services are going to be cut. Um so it's a it's a lean budget you know 393 00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:25,119 focused on fire and you know prudent capital projects. We have our street 394 00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:30,960 rebuild and slurry seal. We have our INI work our um booster station work and 395 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:37,920 then you know the the new park which is mostly grant funded. So still doing good 396 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:42,720 works saving for the future. Um but again it's a 397 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:45,839 it's a lean team and has been a lean team focused on critical essential 398 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:50,560 services that meet the community's needs. So again just want to compliment 399 00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:54,400 you all for that work and not always you know it's easy to chase something shiny 400 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:58,800 or to chase we want to do something today versus thinking of the future and 401 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:01,760 what it means for the community. So with that, happy to answer any questions you 402 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:08,720 may have. >> Any questions, comment um by council or 403 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:12,079 others on here at the dis. Greg, I think you've done a fine job 404 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:19,440 leading us and I think anybody that watched 405 00:38:15,359 --> 00:38:26,160 these meetings and saw our financial situation in this small town would 406 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:35,920 realize that other people should look at it and think, what are we doing wrong? 407 00:38:31,839 --> 00:38:41,920 Okay, that that's all I got. I mean, we we've always done well and we're doing 408 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:46,400 better now and I thank you. >> Well, and that's, you know, again, when 409 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:51,440 when hit with unpredictable, out of our control, increasing public safety cost, 410 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:58,240 it's we had a way to work through that and involve our community without panic, 411 00:38:54,240 --> 00:39:02,160 without large fees. Um it's a it's an issue that needs resolved certainly and 412 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:06,720 you know longterm it needs a different financial solution but we're able to 413 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:12,400 give that a landing path to find that solution involve the community and still 414 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:16,400 provide essential services. >> Yeah. I got to, you know, echo what 415 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:22,400 councelor Smith said of of just, you know, um your leadership, Greg, in in in 416 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:29,839 in providing our uh city core essential services, uh I think has uh been a 417 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:35,200 conversation that council has had over the last couple years of, you know, 418 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:40,400 maybe reducing in some areas some things, understanding that decisions 419 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:48,560 were going to be had to be made in the future. And I think that's allowed us to 420 00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:55,359 not drastically make you know decisions uh as others have uh because of earlier 421 00:39:52,560 --> 00:40:00,480 uh conversations of you know again forward thinking um that again that you 422 00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:05,760 and your staff have presented uh to council um to make those decisions. So 423 00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:09,359 um appreciate your leadership in that. >> Thank you. But I like to think I'm I 424 00:40:07,359 --> 00:40:13,920 stand on the shoulders of giants uh to my left and right and then certainly to 425 00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:19,599 our team members. We have one here, Nick, our utility worker. So, I mean 426 00:40:15,839 --> 00:40:25,680 it's um Thank you. And yeah, it's it's a collective effort. And again, the piece 427 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:31,359 that I uh overall in the budget and what I've watched for a number of years is 428 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:40,400 our obviously our ending fund balance. and our ending fund balance uh is has in 429 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:45,119 every year that I've been here uh very um 430 00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:51,440 we are wise in keeping an ending fund balance that is healthy and I call it 431 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:57,119 out tonight because on that sinking fund if you notice the percentage 432 00:40:53,680 --> 00:41:03,440 » in there I think it was 23% increase >> it's the right thing to do uh we're 433 00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:08,640 we're going to need uh that sinking fund and putting money and I call it rat 434 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:12,800 holeing that money away uh is going to be necessary. So 435 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:17,839 » it's it's you know I think just proper stewardship of the public resource and 436 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:21,280 future people behind us as >> facilities whether it's part of this 437 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:27,680 building or critical infrastructure need replacement that future future us is set 438 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:34,920 up for success. I mean that's just that's the job. It's an investment 439 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,920 in our investment. So 440 00:41:35,359 --> 00:41:42,800 » yeah, it's an investment in our investment. So that's uh it's uh well 441 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:44,319 designed. Um any further questions, comments? 442 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:51,119 » Nope. >> If none, I'd entertain a motion. I move 443 00:41:47,359 --> 00:41:55,599 to approve resolution 8-2026 certifying municipal services provided 444 00:41:53,520 --> 00:42:02,800 for the purpose of establishing eligibility for the receipt of state and 445 00:41:58,079 --> 00:42:08,960 shared revenue for fiscal year 2627. >> I'll second that. 446 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:14,880 » I um sorry I have a clarifying question. Was I supposed to open a public hearing 447 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:19,359 and then closing it? It wouldn't hurt to >> before we take a vote. 448 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:27,040 » Yeah. Okay. I will open the public hearing uh for our our fiscal year 2026 449 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:32,800 27 budget. >> I'm technically out of district. So, 450 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:39,839 » okay. Uh with no comments, I'll go ahead and close the hearing. Um there is a 451 00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:44,079 motion on the table and I believe there was a second. Uh, all those in favor? 452 00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:50,040 » I >> I. 453 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:50,040 » Any opposed? Motion carries. 454 00:42:52,240 --> 00:43:00,880 » I move to approve resolution 9-2026 adopting the city of Wood Village budget 455 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:03,680 for fiscal year 20 2026 27 as amended and making appropriations. 456 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:08,319 » And mayor, it might be best to declare that conflict of interest at this time. 457 00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:13,359 Uh I as a mayor I do have a conf conflict of interest uh as the joint 458 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:17,359 recreation program. Um so I just want to put that on record. 459 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:20,560 » I'll second that. >> First and second. Uh all those in favor 460 00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:27,119 I >> I. 461 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:35,040 » Any oppose? Motion carries. Last one.

Uh no, pretty transparent. So, 469 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:18,240 » nothing hidden. >> That That's why it's easy and fast. 470 00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:22,720 » Well, congratulations, staff. Yeah, you got it. One and done. 471 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:28,839 All right, we'll go ahead and move to ordinance 2-2026 472 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,839 building fee. 473 00:44:33,359 --> 00:44:38,440 » Now it's my turn to see if I can figure out the sharing controls. 474 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:48,800 » That's kind of places I like to work, >> but the bar is low. 475 00:44:48,319 --> 00:44:53,240 » Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. 476 00:44:54,800 --> 00:45:02,480 » So, we um >> All right. Thank you, Mayor and Council. 477 00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:07,520 Uh we do need to open a public hearing on this. This is the last official part 478 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:13,440 of the process for raising our uh building fees. So, do you need to open a 479 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:18,880 public hearing for any comments on this proposed proposed um building fee 480 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:24,079 increase that you guys saw back in May and pass the resolution on? We'll go 481 00:45:21,359 --> 00:45:30,640 ahead and open public hearing, inviting those that would like to comment. 482 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:34,960 Being none, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. 483 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:40,000 » Yes. So, uh, the building fee inc., this is something that comes up, uh, every 484 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:44,079 year. Gresham has been in the habit of increasing their building fees on July 485 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:48,240 1st of every year. And really what they're doing, uh, this year, not a lot 486 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:53,760 of structural changes. They are increasing their hourly fees for the 487 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:57,760 work that they bill out hourly. So, their employees get a cost of living 488 00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:02,160 increase. Their benefit calculation changes. They increase that. So, it's a 489 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:07,839 cost recovery rate for when they have to do hourly work. This incorporates that. 490 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:11,359 This was presented at your April 14th April 14th 491 00:46:09,839 --> 00:46:14,359 council meeting and you guys passed the resolution 492 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:21,200 that um so here we here you can see we did the resolution. There was a building 493 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:26,079 official review which we sent to Gresham. We submitted that to building 494 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:30,079 codes division. There's a 45day period for building codes division for people 495 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:36,160 to submit once we have gotten it to them. And the last part is our ordinance 496 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:39,720 approval uh to enact these fees. So in order to take advant 497 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:46,960 um requirements, the effective date on this is going to be July 10th because 498 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:52,480 that depends on the date which we actually our building official sent it 499 00:46:49,359 --> 00:46:55,440 to BCD. So that's why we're coming back. We have 500 00:46:54,079 --> 00:47:00,760 to do the resolution and then the ordinance in that order with the 501 00:46:57,119 --> 00:47:00,760 specific time frame. 502 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:09,119 Again, we had uh main change here is the 503 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:14,640 updating of the hourly rate that Gresham charges. It's got going from $175 an 504 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:20,400 hour, $184 an hour. We like to align our fees with what Gresham charges us. And 505 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:26,400 the reality is is that there aren't a lot of our permits. They could build the 506 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:31,599 hourly rate for special consideration. It's usually this kicks in after one or 507 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:35,280 two reviews and they have to start working with the contractor for things 508 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:42,000 that have habitually been missed. they start to get a little they give you a 509 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:45,839 freebie and then if you continue to not follow the process they start to charge 510 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:50,880 you an hourly so that they don't waste a lot of staff time for people who aren't 511 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:58,440 putting in the effort. So um it's roughly a 5% increase for those fees but 512 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:58,440 again a lot of those um aren't changing. 513 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:07,359 So again this is matches up with the resolution. Nothing's changed since you 514 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:13,520 saw it in April. This is just the last official step in this process. 515 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:19,640 Available to answer any questions or concerns. Questions, comments by the 516 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,640 council. 517 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:30,800 I'd entertain a motion. I move to approve ordinance 2-2026, 518 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:36,040 an ordinance updating the building fees and setting an effective date of July 519 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,040 10th, 2026. 520 00:48:36,720 --> 00:48:43,359 » First and second. Any further discussion? 521 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:50,400 All those in favor? I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. 522 00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:55,000 Now we'll move to resolution 11-2026 investment policy annual review. 523 00:48:55,359 --> 00:49:05,160 All right. Different presentation. Oops. Oh, I am screen sharing. Great. 524 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:14,800 » You're so good. Don't know it. >> Look at that. Hardly hardly a speed 525 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:18,880 bump. Um, council, uh, mayor, thank you again this evening. So, uh, what we're 526 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:22,800 considering is our investment policy. This investment policy is something that 527 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:28,079 we worked with you with with you all to develop in 2024. It's something that in 528 00:49:25,599 --> 00:49:31,920 order to keep our eligibility for the short-term investment fund that the 529 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:37,200 state uses, they require an annual reauthorization. So, this passed in 530 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:42,240 spring of 2024. We brought it back in June of 2025. 531 00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:46,559 It will be June of 2026. And this will keep us good for another year. So, I'll 532 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:52,000 just review a little bit of why we're doing this. Uh it's recommended as a 533 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:56,720 best practice by the government finance officers association and the Oregon 534 00:49:53,599 --> 00:50:01,200 State Treasury. Um it's general direction for staff on how to do the how 535 00:49:59,119 --> 00:50:07,680 to invest the city's money and what vehicles to do risk kind of a process 536 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:11,359 that we need to follow if we go out for uh financial advising or consulting 537 00:50:09,839 --> 00:50:16,079 services. Communicates to staff what your goals 538 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:21,160 and intentions are with that. And um again, this was last updated in 2025. 539 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:27,440 Four big things that we're looking at doing and kind of what the discussion in 540 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:30,319 2024 was. We want to preserve uh our capital. We don't want to be 541 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:34,480 speculative. We want to protect the resources that we have to spend on 542 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:39,920 projects. We need liquidity to meet our operational needs. Uh we want we're not 543 00:50:37,359 --> 00:50:43,200 looking for we're not looking to make buku bucks on this because we would get 544 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:46,480 into arbitrage and we'd have to give that back even if we were successful at 545 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:49,839 it. And we want to make sure that everyone stays out of jail. Greg 546 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:53,520 especially >> he would not do 547 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:56,520 » wouldn't survive. >> No 548 00:50:56,559 --> 00:51:06,240 » good. Um >> so we ran it through a fairly robust 549 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:10,720 process with the um Treasury Advisory Board. We dro adopted most of the 550 00:51:08,559 --> 00:51:15,040 recommendations for the annual renew. As long as we're not changing anything 551 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:20,880 substantiative, we really don't have to run it through them again. Uh we just 552 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:25,200 submit it after the council approves it. Um, I will say that uh, you know, when 553 00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:32,000 we first brought this up in 2024, we were looking at we were looking at 554 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:37,440 potentially investing in some longer one year, 2year, 5year options to 555 00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:42,079 maintain our investment returns. Um, the graph you have here is what the um, 556 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:48,000 10-year Treasury rate has been since we first looked at this in 2024, and it has 557 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:52,240 essentially been flat. So, as the market has been flat, we've chosen to keep the 558 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:57,760 money in the local government investment pool, which is currently paying about 559 00:51:54,480 --> 00:52:02,640 4%. Um, mostly to preserve liquidity, and the big reason for that is we 560 00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:05,920 weren't sure what bill was going to be coming due for fire and we're still not 561 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:10,720 sure what the solution to fire looks like uh in terms of what it's going to 562 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:15,760 require for capital. And I will say that part of the idea of financial 563 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:19,760 stewardship is um and where that practically comes into play is you know 564 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:24,880 if we are looking at doing a fire station 565 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:30,000 somewhere in the Wood Village Fair View area as part of this fire task force. 566 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:35,920 It's nice to be the city that has money and resource and bond rating to have it 567 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:41,680 located to have a say in where we that station's located. Um so preserving that 568 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:46,000 liquidity and having keeping our options open just again this is how it the 569 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:51,200 decisions that were made in the past of financial stewardship and uh the 570 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:55,200 conservative fiscal outlook that you have pay off in dividends and the 571 00:52:52,880 --> 00:53:01,920 ability to participate in conversations and make decisions that will impact our 572 00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:07,680 community for a long time. Um that's all I have for uh on the 573 00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:11,040 presentation. the staff reports in the packet. I am available for any questions 574 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:14,839 that you might have. >> Any questions, comments? 575 00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:22,800 » One question. >> I know. I saw the exclamation point. 576 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:27,240 » No passive aggressive. >> I like feedback. 577 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:37,359 » Hearing none, I would entertain a motion. Then we can yell at a hint. It 578 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:40,000 is all in caps >> and bold. 579 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:44,640 » It is. So, I should talk loud. >> I I have uh I have myself, especially 580 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:49,359 this time of night, if I've been staring at a screen all day, I have to get my 581 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:55,319 readers out to even look at my phone. So, I've been blowing up the font on all 582 00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:55,319 my presentations. 583 00:53:55,359 --> 00:54:04,559 » I move to approve resolution 11-2026 adopting the city of Wood Villages 584 00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:07,440 investment policy. A second. 585 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:12,160 » First and second. Any further discussion? 586 00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:17,680 All those in favor? I. >> Any oppose? Resolution passes. 587 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:24,200 » Mayor, council. Thank you. >> Um, now we're at our city attorney's 588 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,200 report. 589 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:35,359 » Uh, good evening, mayor and council. I don't have anything to report, but no 590 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:39,880 news is good news from legal. So, >> we're not in trouble in going to jail. 591 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:48,000 » No one's going to jail that I know. >> That's good. That's good news. 592 00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:52,200 » Well, thank you. Uh we'll go ahead and move the mayor and council comments. 593 00:54:52,640 --> 00:55:02,800 Uh just a reminder one more time. Tuesday, June 18th at 5:30, we have our 594 00:54:59,839 --> 00:55:05,359 appreciation dinner here at city hall. >> Did you say Tuesday? 595 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,040 » Thursday. >> Thursday. 596 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:13,280 » He did say Tuesday though. >> I might have uh because Tuesday, June 597 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:15,920 26, June 23rd is our next council meeting. 598 00:55:14,079 --> 00:55:20,640 » Yes. Um, really quick though, it um just 599 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:25,280 touched base on the scholarship review committee having a I think trouble 600 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:28,480 finding the right date for everyone and since some people weren't here when we 601 00:55:27,119 --> 00:55:35,119 appointed them just wanted to I think reaffirm with 602 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:39,040 » everyone is on that is can I don't know how to say this but just trying to find 603 00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:43,119 a process and if that means it's only one council is council okay with that or 604 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:46,400 do you want to have a further discussion on it? I'm sorry if there was this one 605 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,119 counselor. >> Yeah, because I think we're having 606 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:52,880 trouble lining up some dates and options. 607 00:55:49,599 --> 00:55:56,000 » Caroline, you and then John. >> No, it's Caroline and John. 608 00:55:54,240 --> 00:56:00,720 » It says Caroline and uh counselor Gothard were able to align. 609 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:04,880 » I think we're having some scheduling conflicts. 610 00:56:02,319 --> 00:56:07,280 » Sorry, I say it.

I just >> we just want to respect that for for any 617 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:38,319 counselor. We also just wanted to confirm with the C. Are you okay with 618 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:41,760 just one counselor on the review committee if it eases the burdens of 619 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:45,920 others? >> I'm okay with that. 620 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:49,599 » If if we need another one, I can uh volunteer since we have two other 621 00:56:47,359 --> 00:56:54,000 quitters here. So, >> uh 622 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:58,720 words is very poor. >> We uh we have been doing our duty.

Again, we just don't want to have this to be an 630 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:35,280 undue burden for anybody. We understand there's other time constraints and 631 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:39,520 conflicts and interests outside of this gloriously paid uh work that 632 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,079 » you know that yeah that does pay double time when you 633 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:46,319 » we are getting a raise. >> Oh yeah.
