[ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT]
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.FIRST, JUST A REMINDER THAT CITY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH IN OBSERVANCE OF VETERANS DAY.
SO THIS THURSDAY, THE CITY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED.
SECONDLY, I WANTED TO REPORT AND SEVERAL OF YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY ALREADY KNOW THIS.
[00:05:01]
BUT SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE POLICE AND FIRE DIVISIONS, AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AND OTHER MEMBERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, WILL BE GROWING FACIAL HAIR IN NOVEMBER IN AN EFFORT TO RAISE MONEY TO END PROSTATE CANCER.EACH OF THE PARTICIPANTS, INCLUDING BOTH OF OUR CHIEFS, WILL BE RAISING MONEY THROUGH THEIR FACEBOOK PAGES TO HELP FUND RESEARCH PATIENT PROGRAMS THAT GO DIRECTLY TO HELPING MEN AND THEIR FAMILIES.
FREE TESTING AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. AND MORE. AND I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM.
IT'S REALLY NEAT TO SEE, AND I KNOW OUR CHIEFS ARE BATTLING OUT PRETTY CLOSE RIGHT NOW AND ON THE MONEY RAISED, AND I THINK I'M GOING TO BE MONITORING THAT THROUGH THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER HERE. BUT I ALSO WANT TO THANK MEMBERS OF COUNCIL WHO WHO ARE PARTICIPATING AS WELL. SO THANK YOU, HANK AND I FLIPPED A COIN ON ELECTION NIGHT.
AND SO HE IS WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CHIEF BROOKS AND I AM WITH CHIEF RILEY AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
GOOD TO HEAR. AND AND WE'LL BE MONITORING THAT CLOSELY THROUGHOUT THE MONTH HERE TO SEE HOW THAT GOES. A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS.
WE DO HAVE THE 11TH ANNUAL HONDA FEDERAL CREDIT UNION PUMPKIN DASH 5K THAT'S TAKING PLACE ON THANKSGIVING DAY, EIGHT A.M.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER TWENTY FIFTH.
SO WE REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE IF THEY WANT TO GET A LITTLE WORKOUT IN PRIOR TO PARTAKING ON THANKSGIVING DAY TO PLEASE PLAN ON ENTERING THE PUMPKIN DASH 5K, AND WE'LL BE CONTINUALLY PROMOTING THAT FROM NOW UP UNTIL THE EVENT, AS LONG AS THEY'RE STILL TAKING ADDITIONAL REGISTRANTS.
A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE COMING UP BRING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS UPTOWN ON NOVEMBER TWENTY NINTH FROM FIVE TO EIGHT P.M.
THIS IS A CHRISTMAS WALK AND TREE LIGHTING TO ENJOY CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES, DANCERS, CAROLERS, FESTIVE TREE SHOPPING DISCOUNTS, CARRIAGE RIDES, VISITS WITH SANTA AND THE ANNUAL ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING AT SIX P.M.
SO THAT WILL BE TAKING PLACE ON NOVEMBER TWENTY NINE.
SO KEEP THAT ON. I THINK WE'VE GOT A WORK SESSION THAT EVENING.
WE MAY WANT TO ADJUST THAT SLIGHTLY IF POSSIBLE, JUST SO WE CAN BE HERE FOR THE LIGHTING.
SO MAYBE START AT 15 MINUTES OR LATER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO WE CAN DO THE LIGHTING IF IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT JUST SO WE CAN WATCH THAT TREE BEING LIT.
AND THEN ALSO MARIANNE MAINE, THE ICE SKATING WILL RETURN THIS YEAR, AND THAT'S BEEN A POPULAR ACTIVITY, AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ICE SKATE AT PARTNERS' PARK BETWEEN DECEMBER 11TH AND JANUARY 2ND.
SO WE'LL HAVE SEVERAL WEEKS THERE OVER THE HOLIDAYS.
WE'LL BE PROMOTING THE EXACT TIMES OF THOSE, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BRINGING THAT BACK TO PARTNERS' PARK AS WELL THIS YEAR.
AND WITH THAT, I'LL SHIFT IT OVER TO ENGINEERING TO KYLE.
THANKS, TERRY. SO LAST MONDAY AT WORK, SASHA LEFEBVRE BRIEFED EVERYONE ABOUT SLUG FEST THIS WEEK. JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH, THE INTERSECTION OF. LONDON AVENUE IN NINTH STREET WILL BE CLOSED FOR THAT EVENT FOR TESTING.
SOME CONSTRUCTION UPDATES THE RAYMOND ROAD THE WATERLINE INSTALLATION PROJECT WILL BEGIN ALONG RAYMOND ROAD THIS WEEK.
THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE STARTING CONSTRUCTION UP TOWARDS THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND WILL WORK SOUTH TOWARDS WEST FIFTH STREET, AND THAT PROJECT WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WINTER. JEREMY? YEAH, SOME UPDATES FROM THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS DIVISIONS.
STREETS AND SANITATION THEY CONTINUE TO PICK UP.
LEAVES WERE IN FULL FORCE WITH THAT WATER, PERFORMING SOME MINOR REPAIRS THAT WERE PICKED UP DURING OUR ANNUAL LEAK DETECTION SURVEY.
PARSONS FINALIZING OF SOME OF THESE PARKS, BUT THEN ALSO PREPARING FOR SOME FUTURE ACTIVITIES WITH THE HOLIDAY SEASON, BUT ALSO FOR NEXT YEAR AS WELL.
CONSTRUCTION WISE, THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT OUT THERE, THE ROOFING FOR THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IS ABOUT 80 PERCENT COMPLETE, SO THAT'LL BE SOMETHING GOOD TO HAVE BEFORE THE WINTER HITS THE CLEAR.
WELL, IT'S ALMOST BACKFILLED, SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH AN UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK THAT HOLDS A MILLION GALLONS SO THAT WHEN SEEING THAT THE FIRST TIME, I THOUGHT THEY WOULD TAKE FIVE YEARS TO GET IT DONE. BUT THEY'RE ALREADY NEARLY COMPLETE HERE IN SIX MONTHS.
[00:10:02]
AND THEN THEY'VE ALSO COMPLETED THEIR 90 PERCENT, COMPLETE WITH EXCAVATION FOR THE BACKWASH TANK.FINAL UPDATE ON THE UTILITY SIDE OF THE DRUM TOWNSHIP WATER TOWER, THAT PROJECT REMAINS ON SCHEDULE AND UNDER BUDGET.
YOU DRIVE DOWN THIRTY THREE, YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH OUR INSPECTOR AS YOU SEE IT GOES UP.
BUT I KNOW KNOWING YOUR ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT THAT JENNIFER SEND YOU, YOU SHOULD HAVE ABOUT 75 OR 80 PICTURES OF THAT PROJECT STARTED, BUT IT INCREMENTALLY JUST GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER EVERY DAY THAT YOU CAN BUY.
BUT THAT'S ALL THE ALL THE UPDATES ABOUT THAT.
THAT CONCLUDES THE ADMINISTRATOR REPORT.
UNLESS THERE'S QUESTIONS, I'M JUST GOING TO ADD TO GERRY'S JEREMY'S COMMENT ON THE WATER PLANT. WE'VE SCHEDULED A ON SITE WATER PLANT TOUR FOR CITY COUNCIL NEXT MONDAY AT FIVE PM. THAT'LL BE PRIOR TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING.
YOU'LL GET AN INVITE FROM BECKY, BUT WE JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO GET A CHANCE TO SEE FIRSTHAND THE PROGRESS OF WATER PLANT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YES. YEAH, JEREMY, I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE 84 PICTURES THAT WE GOT FROM THE BUILDING OUT THERE. AND THE ONE THING THAT WE DID TALK ABOUT EARLY ON IS, OF COURSE, WHEN WE LOOKED FIRST. BUT THE TOTAL COST WAS GOING TO BE FOR THAT WATER TOWER.
WE WE WERE AT LEAST I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE HOW MUCH MONEY WAS NEEDED FOR ENGINEERING.
AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU EXPLAINED TO ME THAT BY THE TIME THAT YOU PUT ABOUT A MILLION GALLONS OF WATER, WHICH IS MAYBE A MILLION, ACTUALLY FOUR MILLION POUNDS OF WATER, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T BECOME THE LEANING TOWER OF MARYSVILLE.
BUT I'M INTRIGUED THAT WE DID NOT HAVE TO GO DEEPER THAN WHAT WE DID BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO AT LEAST HAVING TO MAKE PYLONS SO THAT WE HIT THE ROCK BOTTOM ACTUALLY ROCK BOTTOM AS SUPPORT.
HOW DOES THE SOLID LOOK OUT THERE? WE WERE PLEASED WITHIN THE BID.
WE HAD A BID IN THERE FOR PILES AND PUTTING IT ON THAT AND THEN ALSO SPREAD FOOTING.
SO TO BE HONEST, WE WERE ORIGINALLY ASSUMING IT WAS PILES AS WELL.
BUT THE THE CONTRACTOR THAT WAS INVOLVED DOES THIS ALL THE TIME, AND THEY DID THOSE STRUCTURAL OR GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS THAT FOUND THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO JUST USE A SPREAD FOOTER AND GET US A LITTLE BIT MORE BANG FOR OUR BUCK.
SO WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING OUT WITH THEM ON A, I GUESS, A DOT OF A CERTAIN AMOUNT TO DO TO THAT. BUT THEY CHECK THE SOILS AS WE KNOW THOSE KIND OF SOILS ARE VERY RICH IN CLAY.
SO I THINK THAT HELPED HELP BENEFIT US IN THIS INSTANCE, WHERE INSTEAD OF GOING 40 FEET DEEP WITH PILES, WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO GO TWENTY TWENTY FIVE FEET DEEP WITH THE SPREAD WATER. OH OK.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OK, THANK YOU. WE WILL MOVE ON.
I BELIEVE OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPORT IS PUSHED BACK, ARE WE DOING THAT TONIGHT? NO, WE WERE GOING TO MOVE THAT BACK.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WILL BE ON THE TWENTY SECOND OF NOVEMBER YET OR WHETHER IT WILL BE AT THE WORK SESSION ON THE TWENTY NINTH.
WE'LL BE LETTING YOU KNOW, BUT THEY WILL BE COMING WITH THE QUARTERLY UPDATE.
DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TONIGHT? OK, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE REPORT OF THE CLERK OF COUNCIL.
I HAVE NO REPORT THIS EVENING.
HEARING OF CITIZENS IS THERE ANY CITIZEN HERE TONIGHT THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? OK, WE'LL MOVE ON TO RESOLUTIONS FIRST READING RESOLUTION, A FIRST READING TITLE
[Res. A]
ONLY TO ADOPT A POLICY TO AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE AND USE OF THE PUBLIC ENTITIES, POOL EMPLOYEE DISHONESTY AND FAITHFUL PERFORMANCE OF DUTY POLICY IN LIEU OF INDIVIDUAL SURETY BONDS. ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS LIKE SURE, YEAH, I CAN SPEAK TO THIS.THIS IS THE REWRITE OF THE RESOLUTION THAT WE TABLED INDEFINITELY AT THE LAST MEETING, AND IT'S GOING TO RUN TOGETHER WITH THE FIRST AUDIENCE, WHICH IS THE ORDER THAT AMENDS THE CHARTER PROVISION THAT ALLOWS FOR ALLOWS WOULD ALLOW US TO ADOPT A POLICY LIKE THIS IN LIEU OF OF USING SURETY BONDS.
ANY COUNCIL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I KNOW WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS TO OTHER TIMES, SO.
OK. THIS WILL BE BACK FOR A SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND ORDINANCE
[00:15:07]
A FIRST READING TITLE ONLY TO AMEND SECTION TWELVE POINT TWO OFFICIAL BONDS OF THE CITY[Ord. A]

NOW WE'RE MOVING ON THE NEXT SEVERAL ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.
ALL HAVE TO DO WITH OUR BUDGET FOR TWENTY TWENTY TWO ORDINANCE.
SEE SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT A CAPITAL BUDGET FOR TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
[Ord. C]
ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS.I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO BRAD TO JUST UPDATE CITY COUNCIL ON A FEW ITEMS THAT WE'VE SPOKE TO COUNCIL ABOUT PREVIOUSLY, BUT JUST TO CONFIRM SOME OF THE CHANGES IN PAGES THAT AND SOME NUMBERS THAT YOU HAVE.
SO I ACTUALLY HAVE QUITE A FEW PAGES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED.
THIS IS JUST BY VIRTUE OF WHEN YOU MAKE A CHANGE, ONE PLACE IT CHANGES THROUGHOUT.
SO UNFORTUNATELY, I LOST SANDY THIS EVENING.
SHE WAS, SHE WAS. SHE WAS GOING TO HELP ME OUT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHE WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. SO FOR THOSE IN THE VIEWING AUDIENCE, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET UP AND WALK AROUND, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HEAR ME.
I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL DEVASTATED BY THAT.
BUT ANYWAY, I'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU.
WELL, YEAH. SO, ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S JUST GET UP AND WE'LL START HANDING STUFF OUT.
NOW, KEEP IN MIND, I'M JUST GOING TO BASICALLY GO THROUGH ALL THE PAGES AND HAND THEM OUT, SO I'M NOT GOING TO LIMIT THIS TO EACH EACH SECTION.
SO. LET'S SEE HERE, HOW ABOUT SANDY, DO THIS.
YOU'RE ALL GOING TO WISH I HAD A SANDY.
IF I CAN ASSIST, I'D BE GLAD TO TAKE YOUR TIME.
OH, I SEE WHAT YOU DID. ALL RIGHT.
WHO HAS THEIR VOTES? I ALMOST GRABBED MINE.
WELL, THE FIRST THING I WANT TO GIVE YOU IS REALLY EASY.
YOU DID NOT HAVE A TABLE OF CONTENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE APPROPRIATION, FOR EXAMPLE.
SO GO TO THE APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE TAB.
OKAY. THERE IS NO TABLE OF CONTENTS.
TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTENTS. YOU WANT ONE? SORRY, I'M USING. I'M USING.
IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, I HAVE PRINTED A WHOLE NEW APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE, SO IF YOU GO TO THE APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE TAB.
I THINK THEY'RE SET UP INSTRUMENTS.
SO IT'S THE THING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE A WHOLE NEW THIS REFLECTS ALL THE CHANGES AND IT HAS HUGE NUMBERS THAT LEAD UP TO THE WORLD.
[00:20:02]
TRY TO CHANGE PAGES OUT ON THAT.WE'LL GET YOU, STAFF, WE'LL GET YOU ALL TAKING CARE OF THOSE FOLKS LATER.
TIM, YOUR BOOK IS REALLY UPDATED BECAUSE YOU JUST GOT A COPY OF IT.
ALL RIGHT. YEAH, WHAT I WANT YOU TO ALL TO DO IS TURN TO YOUR CAPITAL BUDGET TAB.
AND I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING IN YOUR CAPITAL BUDGET TAB, IT'S GOING IN THE RECYCLING BIN. ALL RIGHT.
ONCE AGAIN, I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE THIS EASIER.
IT'S JUST EASIER TO KILL TREES.
ALL RIGHT. AND TRY TO JUST BE LIKE, WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE THIS PATIENT SPACE THIS WAY.
SO THE FIRST THING IS THE ORDINANCE.
SO HERE'S THE NEW CAPITAL BUDGET WORDS, WHICH OF COURSE, INCLUDES THE CHANGES THAT WERE DISCUSSED IN THE WORK SESSION HERE.
I WILL SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ALL THIS PAPER, WE DID PLANT A LOT OF TREES THIS YEAR, SO THE LOWER THE LORAX WOULD BE HAPPY, JUST JUST FOR THE RECORD.
I THINK THE PREVIOUS ONE WAS THREE PAGES LONG.
THIS ONE IS, OH WAIT, I WAS FRONT BACK.
STILL, PARKING IS FRONT AND BACK.
THAT WASN'T SO I GUESS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S WORD.
WHICH WAS THE ORDER IN THE ORDER? I HAVE BEEN ALL COLOR CODED, JUST AS A REMINDER FOR EVERYBODY, HAVE A PRETTY GOOD PLAN, ARE YOUR WORDS ARE CAPITALIZED BUT DO NOT INCLUDE THE VEHICLES.
BECAUSE THEY TRUST THESE BARS AND PARTIES.
IN A VACUUM TRUCK AND A MACK TRUCK, RIGHT, FINALLY, THE LITTLEST AND THE LEAST IMPORTANT I CAN'T OF THE OTHER IS THE CAPITAL OUT, WHICH ONCE AGAIN, AS A REMINDER, IS MUCH SMALLER THAN IN YEARS PAST FOR A LOT OF THESE ITEMS TO THE MATERIALS AND AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS WITHIN.
AND THEN FINALLY, NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS THE ONE WHERE IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT WORK BY WHAT I'M DOING IS I'M GIVING YOU A PACKET.
OF EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE OPERATING BUDGET PORTION.
BUT OF COURSE, THERE PAGE NUMBERS IN THE PACKAGE ARE GIVEN TO YOU AS EDUCATION.
NO MORE. SO YOU CAN'T JUST SLIP THIS IN THE BOOK, YOU WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE EACH INDIVIDUAL PAGE AS WE'RE LOSING EVERYTHING IN THE NO AND NO, NOT JUST THE PAGES OF INDIVIDUAL PAGES.
THANK YOU. I COULD NOT BRING MYSELF TO REPRINT ALL 80000 PAGES AND REPLACE IT.
I HOPE YOU HAVE THIS MEMORIZED CLERK OR COUNCIL.
GIVE ME, SO I'LL BE COMING TO YOU.
DON'T HAVE A BUDGET BOOK WITH YOUR TABLE TO HELP ME PUT IT.
ALL RIGHT. SO WE DON'T WANT TO ASK YOU TO PAUSE ENTRY INTO YOUR BOOKS.
AND WHAT I'M GOING TO DO RIGHT NOW IS GO OVER SOME OF THESE CHANGES FOR THE SAKE OF THE AUDIENCE AND OF COURSE, PROCEDURALLY.
SO I'M GOING TO ONCE AGAIN START WITH THE WELL, I'LL JUST START AT THE FRONT OF THE BOOK AS IT WOULD BE. SO I'M GOING TO START WITH THE APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE AND I'M JUST GOING
[00:25:01]
TO GO OVER SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE MODIFIED IN THIS.SO. THE GENERAL FUND WAS MODIFIED EVER SO SLIGHTLY BECAUSE I DID MODIFY A FORMULA THAT WAS USED IN THE. I.
FOR ME, WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PERSONNEL? BUT THE TOTAL DID NOT CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY.
SO IN YOUR NEW BOOK, THE GENERAL FUND TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS ARE TWENTY NINE, ONE POINT SEVENTY EIGHT AND I HAD TWENTY NINE ONE POINT THIRTY SEVEN IN THE OLD BOOK.
SO THEY WENT UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOTHING SIGNIFICANT, CERTAINLY AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE GENERAL FUND THAT THAT CHANGE AND THE PERSONNEL ALSO MODIFY THE STREET TREE AND THE TWO TO FIVE FUNDS.
THE STREET TREE FUND WENT FROM TWO POINT THIRTY THREE TO TWO POINT THIRTY SIX.
THAT'S TWO HUNDRED THIRTY THREE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THIRTY SIX THOUSAND AND THE STREET MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION WENT FROM TWO MILLION SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND TWO MILLION EIGHTY SIX THOUSAND.
FORMULA DID NOT AFFECT ALL DIVISIONS, SO I'M NOT HITTING ALL PERSONNEL, FIRE DIVISION CHANGED, SO THE TOTAL EXPENDITURES IN THE FIRE DIVISION WENT TO FIFTEEN.
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE THOUSAND FROM FIFTEEN ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN THOUSAND.
FOUR THIRTY NINE WAS THE ONE THAT HAD THE BIGGEST AMOUNT OF CHANGE, AND WE'LL GO OVER THE CAPITAL CHANGES WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL HERE AND A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT WENT TO IT WENT DOWN, ACTUALLY WENT FROM SIX POINT TWO MILLION TO SIX MILLION, FIFTY THOUSAND.
SO A LITTLE BIT OF A DECREASE THERE.
BUT THAT WAS A BIG THANKS TO ENGINEERING AND SOME WORK THAT THEY DID MOVING PROJECTS AROUND AND SO FORTH.
SO NOTHING'S CHANGED IN TERMS OF YOUR PRIORITIES AND WHAT YOU WANTED.
YOU'LL SEE IN THE CAPITAL, WE HAVE THE ONE POINT FIVE MILLION IN PAVING AND THE DIFFERENT CHANGES THAT WE DID. BUT LIKE I SAID, ENGINEERING DID A GREAT JOB SHARPEN THEIR PENCILS AND SOME PROJECTS. THE COMMERCIAL TIFF FUND, THE FOUR FOR ONE FUND WENT UP FROM SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND.
THIS IS DUE TO ADDING SOME MONIES TO DO SOME ENGINEERING AT THE FIVE POINTS INTERSECTION.
SANITATION PERSONNEL CHANGED WENT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT, SO THE TOTAL EXPENDITURES IN THAT FUND WENT FROM TWO POINT THIRTY THREE ONE MILLION TO TWO POINT THREE THREE FOUR MILLION.
THERE WERE SOME CHANGES IN THE CAPITAL OUTLAY OF THE SEWER REPLACEMENT FUND FROM FIVE THIRTY SIX, SO THIS WAS THE BIGGEST DOLLAR CHANGE IN TOTAL.
BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT THE THE FUND IS OBVIOUSLY VERY HEALTHY, SO THE INCREASE IS NOT A PROBLEM IN THE TOTAL BUDGET, BUT IT WENT FROM OR I'M SORRY, HE WENT DOWN.
JEEZ, I'M GETTING MYSELF CONFUSED.
GOING BACK AND FORTH ANYWAY IS THE BIGGEST DECREASE.
FOURTEEN POINT NINE MILLION TO FOURTEEN POINT THREE MILLION.
SO I ACTUALLY WENT DOWN ABOUT SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND, SO.
BUT TRUST ME, IT COULD HAVE GONE THE OTHER WAY, WOULD'VE BEEN FINE.
THE WATER REVENUE FUND PERSONNEL SERVICES CHANGE ONCE AGAIN.
THESE ARE ALL DUE TO SOME FORMULA CHANGES.
THEY DID WENT FROM NINE POINT TWO ZERO FOUR MILLION TO NINE POINT.
TWO TO NINE MILLION AND THEN THE FINAL PERSONNEL CHANGE AND THE FINAL CHANGE IN THE APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE.
WE WENT FROM TWO POINT THREE EIGHT NINE MILLION IN THE FIVE SEVEN ONE TO TWO FIVE ZERO THREE. SO AS I SAID, A VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE WERE RELATED TO THE CHANGE IN FORMULA I DID. TO BE MORE ACCURATE AS WE MOVE FORWARD THROUGH NEXT YEAR AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WERE CHANGED.
SO. NEXT, I'LL TALK ABOUT HERE, THE BACK. THE.
NOW, OBVIOUSLY, I HIT MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES.
ALREADY IN THE OPERATING BUDGET ITSELF.
SO THOSE WOULD BE ALL THE INDIVIDUAL PAPERS I GAVE YOU WHERE YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE BOOK YOURSELVES. BUT WHAT I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT WERE A COUPLE OF OTHER CHANGES THAT I MADE THAT I JUST DIDN'T THINK WERE.
THE FUNDS DON'T BALANCE OUT APPROPRIATELY, SO I MODIFIED HOW THEY WERE BEING SHOWN.
SO THE FIRST ONE WAS IN THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE FUND THAT'S FUND TO ZERO FOUR.
IT SHOWED A EXPENDITURES FORECAST OF FORTY THOUSAND AND A TRANSFER OF THIRTY NINE FIVE
[00:30:05]
ONE THREE FOUR IN THE APPROPRIATION OR IN THE OPERATING BUDGET SECTION.BASICALLY, THE TWENTY ONE FOR CASH SHOULD HAVE CHECKED REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES MATCHING, SO THERE WOULDN'T BE AN EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES OVER REVENUES, SO I DIDN'T THINK THAT LOOKED APPROPRIATE, SO I FIX THAT PRETTY MINOR THING, BUT.
THOSE OF US IN ACCOUNTING GET ANNOYED BY SUCH THINGS.
SAME THING IN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRUST FUND AS PAGE THIRTY FOUR.
SHOWED AN EXPENDITURE FORECAST OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED, BUT NO FORECAST OF REVENUE.
REVENUE WOULD EQUAL EXPENDITURES.
SO ONCE AGAIN, I DON'T NEED TO SHOW A NEGATIVE FUND BALANCE THERE.
THE NEXT ONE THAT I CHANGE FOR THAT REASON OR VERY SIMILAR REASON.
PAGE NUMBER FIFTY TWO, THE NORTHWEST THIRTY THREE GRANT.
REVENUES SHOULD ACTUALLY THE ISSUE HERE WAS THAT I HAD REVENUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY VERY ODD BECAUSE ALL THESE SPREADSHEETS BUILT THE SAME WAY, BUT REGARDLESS. THE THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND REVENUE DIDN'T COME TOTAL DOWN.
IN THE TOTAL REVENUE LINE, SO IT BASICALLY SHOWED NO REVENUE YET EXPENDITURES, SO I FIX THAT FORMULA. SO ON YOUR SHEET ONCE AGAIN, IT DOESN'T SHOW NEGATIVE FUND BALANCE.
ON PAGE 54, SAME THING, REVENUES SHOULD EQUAL EXPENDITURES, SO I FIX THAT.
AND THAT'S IT. ALL YOUR OTHER CHANGES WERE RELATED TO THINGS WE ALREADY DISCUSSED WHEN WE DISCUSSED THE ORDINANCE.
SO TURN TO YOUR CAPITAL, BINDER.
SO THE FIRST THING THAT I NOTED WAS THAT IN THE APPROPRIATION OR THE CAPITAL BUDGET ORDINANCE ITSELF, THE TWO FIVE FIVE FUND.
WAS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.
SO NOW THAT FUND IS INCLUDED AND IT WOULD BE AT THE VERY TOP OF THAT PARTICULAR CAPITAL ORBITS. SO IT HAS BEEN ADDED.
IN ALL FAIRNESS, I PROBABLY NEED TO SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS WITH TIM THE EXACT PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE PER HOUR PER LAW.
DOES THIS ACTUALLY NEED TO INCLUDE EVERY CAPITAL EXPENDITURE FROM EVERY SINGLE FUND? OR IS IT MEANT TO BE THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FROM THOSE FUNDS THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS CAPITAL FUNDS? YOU KNOW, SOMETHING I DON'T THINK HAS COME UP BECAUSE WE'RE NOW SPENDING SOME MAJOR CAPITAL FUNDS OUT OF SOME OF THESE OTHER FUNDS.
BUT SINCE I WASN'T 100 PERCENT SURE ON THAT, I FIGURED AIR ON THE SIDE OF TOO MUCH AS OPPOSED TO TOO LITTLE.
SO HENCE THE TWO FIVE FIVE ADDED TO THE ORDINANCE.
THERE WAS SOME OTHER QUESTIONS ON HERE THINGS THAT WERE MISSPELLED WHEN HADN'T FIXED THAT SINCE I WAS REPRINTING IT.
DONALD BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT.
I BELIEVE AARON MAY HAVE BROUGHT UP ONE TWO OR J.R.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE, BUT SEPARATE ITEMS WHERE THEY HAVE THE SAME WORDING AND DIFFERENT FUNDS. BUT IT DIDN'T INDICATE THAT THESE EXPENDITURES WEREN'T COPIES THAT THEY WERE BEING SHARED AMONG THE FUNDS.
SO I WENT AHEAD AND ADDED THAT WORDING WHERE NECESSARY ALSO.
OH, SURE. ALSO, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF SIMPLICITY I FELT FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ADD SOMETIMES WE PUT IN HERE, YOU KNOW, ENGINEERING WOULD PUT THE VEHICLE THAT'S BEING REPLACED, BUT WE WOULDN'T ACTUALLY USE THE WORD REPLACEMENT FOR.
AND I DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK WE WERE BUYING A 1998 FORD F THREE FIFTIES.
SO WHEN HAD AN ADDED REPLACEMENT FOR INTO THOSE THINGS? SO THERE'S SOME LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT AND OF COURSE, ADDED PAGE NUMBERS.
SO THOSE ARE. WHAT'S THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR? THOSE ARE QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES THAT HOPEFULLY MAKE IT EASIER TO READ, BUT REALLY THE BIGGEST CHANGES HERE, ONCE AGAIN, WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED IT WAS THE ONE POINT FIVE
[00:35:01]
MILLION ADD TO PAVING.THE INNOVATION PARKWAY ROAD AT THIS TIME HAS BEEN DELETED FROM THE CAPITAL BUDGET, SO YOU WILL NOT SEE IT IN HERE AT ALL.
THE PARKING LOT WAS REDUCED FROM ONE MILLION TO TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND, WITH THE REMAINDER PUSHED TO TWENTY TWENTY THREE.
YOU WOULD SEE THAT NOT OF COURSE, ON THE ORDINANCE ITSELF BECAUSE THE ORDINANCE ITSELF IS JUST FOR TWENTY TWO, BUT YOU WOULD SEE THAT ON THESE SHEETS, WHICH GO OUT FIVE YEARS, SOMETIMES SIX.
AND THEN THE ALLEY WAS REDUCED A LITTLE BIT, AND ONCE AGAIN, THAT WAS JUST TO GET ALL THAT TO BALANCE ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY.
BUT ONCE AGAIN, ENGINEERING DID A GREAT JOB.
ONCE AGAIN, MOVING SOME THINGS AROUND, DOING SOME OTHER THINGS.
SO THOSE CHANGES DIDN'T CHANGE ANY PROJECTS THAT WERE PLANNED ON BEING DONE IN THE NEXT YEAR, BUT DID CHANGE SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS.
SO ONCE AGAIN, JUST TO MAKE THAT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE, I JUST REPRINTED EVERYTHING AND THEN GAVE THAT TO YOU ONCE AGAIN TO AVOID HAVING TO CHANGE CERTAIN PAGES AND SO FORTH.
SO I DON'T WANT TO OVERSTATE LIKE THERE WAS A BUNCH CHANGE IN HERE JUST TRULY WAS EASIER JUST TO BE LIKE, HERE YOU GO.
SO. TIM, AM I GOOD? YES, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, MR. PRESIDENT, I MEAN, AS LONG AS I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, BECAUSE WE THESE PIECES OF LEGISLATION ARE ALL DIVIDED UP, RIGHT? SO YOU'VE GOT A PIECEMEAL.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AS WELL AS THE RECORD IS CLEAR ON ON WHAT THE AMENDMENTS ARE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS ARE FOR EACH ORDINANCE, YOU KNOW, SO THE OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST IS THE CAPITAL BUDGET.
SO AND I THINK I THINK WE SHOULD, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS TO MAKE SURE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS WITH RESPECT TO WHAT THE WHAT THE SPECIFIC AMENDMENTS ARE TO THAT PARTICULAR ORDINANCE, YOU KNOW, ASK THEM, MAKE SURE THE RECORD IS CLEAR ON ON WHAT THOSE AMENDMENTS ARE.
THEN YOU CAN VOTE ON ON A MOTION TO AMEND AND THEN GO DOWN THE LINE.
AND THE REASON I ASKED HIM WAS TIM CALLED ME EARLIER TODAY, AND HE SAID, HEY, YOU'RE GOING TO GO OVER ALL THESE CHANGES AND I'M NOT BEING FACETIOUS.
WHEN I SAID TO HIM, I WAS LIKE, COUNSEL IS NOT GOING TO LET ME JUST HAND OUT A BUNCH OF PIECES OF PAPER AND LET ME WALK AWAY.
I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO GO OVER THESE IN AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU NEEDED.
SO OBVIOUSLY I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
AND LIKE TIM SAID, IF WE WANT TO JUST START, THEN WITH SINCE THE FIRST ORANGE IS THE CAPITAL, START WITH QUESTIONS THERE AND THEN GO DOWN THE LINE.
SO. JUST IN TERMS OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET AMENDMENT WITH WHAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED, IS THERE ANY MORE? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? JUST THE AMENDMENT WHAT? OK, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO OH.
ARE THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? OK, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO AMEND? I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND ROLL CALL.
MR REMES, YES, MR RAUSCH, YES, MR BR-V, YES, MR CARPENTER, YES, MRS GROAT, YES, MR BURGER, YES, YES.
THIS IS NOW STILL SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING.
ARE THERE ANY FURTHER ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS? NOTHING FURTHER. ANY COUNCIL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I HAVE ONE WHERE, YOU KNOW.
OK. I HAD A QUESTION IN LOOKING AT THE STREETS IN THE CAPITAL CAPITAL BUDGET.
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PROJECTS, A COUPLE OF BIG PROJECTS.
ONE IS THE WIDENING OF COLEMAN'S CROSSING AND ANOTHER ONE IS THE FIVE POINTS INTERSECTION. AND YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE IS IN CONSTRUCTION IN TWENTY TWENTY THREE AND THE OTHER ONE, THE FIVE POINTS IS IN HERE.
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING MOST OF THE CONSTRUCTION, FINISHING THAT UP IN TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE COULD LOOK AT CHANGING THOSE TWO PRIORITIES RIGHT NOW BASED ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE FIVE POINTS INTERSECTION? I THINK, YOU KNOW, I'LL LET JEREMY OR KYLE SPEAK TO TIMING, BUT I THINK EVEN IN REGARDS TO THE FIVE POINTS, THE PROCESS WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH, YOU'RE YOU'RE LOOKING AT A YEAR TO YEAR WITH AS AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN GO, POTENTIALLY AT TWENTY TWENTY FIVE CONSTRUCTION TIME PERIOD ONCE WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.
AND I KNOW THAT SOUNDS AT LEAST WHAT WE PRELIMINARY PRELIMINARILY LAID OUT.
[00:40:01]
TWENTY TWENTY TWO IS GOING TO BE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING.TWENTY THREE, MAYBE FINAL ENGINEERING, TWENTY FOUR UTILITY RELOCATION AND RIGHT AWAY, WHICH MEANS TWENTY FIVE CONSTRUCTION.
WE MAY BE ABLE TO SPEED THAT UP DEPENDING ON WHAT THE FINAL SOLUTION IS THERE, BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT TO BE HONEST WITH THIS PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING TURNS OUT TO BE, AND THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PUBLIC INPUT ON A ON A PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE.
ALSO TAKING TAKE INTO ACCOUNT A LITTLE BIT THAT THE AS QUICKLY AS THE DEVELOPMENT IS OCCURRING AT WOODSIDE, THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS COMING FORWARD ON THE EXTENSION OF PROFESSIONAL PARKWAY AS WELL.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO EVALUATE THAT BECAUSE THAT WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD RELIEVING SOME OF THE PRESSURE ON FIVE POINTS.
SO WE'LL TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT AS WELL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO WAIT TILL TWENTY TWENTY FIVE TO FIX FIVE POINTS.
YOU KNOW, SHEETS AT THAT INTERSECTION.
IT'S ALREADY A PROBLEM INTERSECTION, AND I CAN'T SEE LIVING WITH THAT FOR THREE YEARS BEFORE WE FIX IT.
IF IF THAT PROJECT CONTINUES TO ONE OF THE THINGS THEY HAVE, THEY ARE GRANTING PROPERTY TO THE CITY FOR THE PURPOSES OF WHATEVER OCCURS FIVE POINTS IN THE FUTURE.
EVEN ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS COULD BE IN THE SHORT TERM, EVEN A TURN LANE THERE AS IT EXISTS TODAY TO PUT IN A TURN LANE FOR A SHORT TERM MEASURE UNTIL A LONG TERM SOLUTION OCCURS.
SO THERE COULD BE SOME THINGS THAT TAKE PLACE THERE TO MAKE IT BETTER UNDER THE EXISTING CONDITIONS WHILE WE'RE STILL STUDYING THE FIVE POINTS INTERSECTION.
I MEAN, TRAFFIC BACKS UP ON CHERRY HILL GOING NORTH ALL THE WAY UP TO FOURTH.
SO, YOU KNOW, EVEN JUST THIS LAST WEEK, I HAD TO STOP ON FOURTH.
I COULD NOT TURN ON THE CHERRY.
I COULDN'T MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON A CHERRY BECAUSE THERE'S NO PLACE TO TURN.
IT WAS BACKED UP ALL THE WAY, AND I CAN'T SEE HOW ANY SORT OF TURN LANE IS GOING TO FIX THAT PROBLEM. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE TURN LANE ONTO NORTH CHARITY IS NOT GOING TO FIX THAT PROBLEM.
THIS IS AND I SAID THIS I PLANNING COMMISSION LAST MONDAY NIGHT.
THIS INTERSECTION IS THE BIGGEST DECISION WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IN A LONG TIME AND.
CAN WE DESIGN SOMETHING AND GET IT OUT IN TWENTY THREE OR EARLY? TWENTY THREE, PROBABLY, BUT I WANT TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND EVALUATE IT AND STUDY IT AND FIND THE BEST SOLUTION MOVING FORWARD.
ONE OF THOSE SOLUTIONS MIGHT BE WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE TO ACQUIRE PROPERTIES.
HOW LONG IS THAT PROCESS GOING TO BE IF IT TAKES? IF A PROPERTY OWNER SAYS NO, YOU DON'T WANT TO SELL THAT DELAY THE WHOLE PROJECT THAT DELAYS THE PROJECT A YEAR OR SO.
SO WE WANT TO GO THROUGH A PRELIMINARY DESIGN IN TWENTY TWO.
DEPENDING ON THAT SOLUTION, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO WRAP UP DESIGN IN TWENTY THREE.
IT MAY BE CONSTRUCTION. TWENTY FOUR.
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO BUILD ANYTHING NEXT YEAR.
YEAH, I I RECOGNIZE THAT, BUT I'D LIKE TO DEFINITELY BE MOVING BEFORE TWENTY TWENTY FIVE.
AND THEN WE WE DO HAVE SOME SCHEMATIC DESIGNS ALREADY COMPLETED THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WEIGHING IN THAT REGARD.
SO WE'LL PUSH IT AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND WE'LL KEEP YOU KEEP YOU IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMITTEE UP TO UP TO DATE AS WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
OK, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE CAPITAL BUDGET? OK, THIS WILL BE BACK FOR THIRD READING TITLE ONLY MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, SECOND ORDINANCE DE SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT AN ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FOR TWENTY TWENTY
[Ord. D]
TWO ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS.ANYTHING FURTHER, BRAD, FOR THIS? NO, JUST AS A REMINDER.
SO THE THE OPERATING BUDGET, OF COURSE, IS THE ONE WITH EVERY PAGE FOR EACH FUND.
THAT'S THE THAT'S THE BIG ONE.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON A SPECIFIC FUND OR ANY OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, LET ME KNOW. OK, WE HAVE THEN AMENDMENTS THAT WERE DISCUSSED A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
ARE THERE ANY COUNCIL COMMENTS ON THE AMENDMENTS? SO JUST IN COMMENTS.
A MOTION TO AMEND THE LEGISLATION, SO MOVED, MR.
[00:45:01]
RAUSCH. YES, MR. BARBEE. YES, MR. CARPENTER, YES.THIS IS GROAT. YES, MR. BERGER. YES, MR. REMES. YES.
SIX. YES. SINCE THIS WAS AMENDED, IT'S STILL SECOND READING.
ARE THERE ANY FURTHER ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS? NOTHING FURTHER. ANY COUNCIL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CITIZENS? OK. THIS WILL BE BACK FOR THIRD READING TIDAL ONLY MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND.
WHAT TITLE ONLY IS THAT RIGHT? GIVING OFF ORDINANCE, A SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR
[Ord. E]
TWENTY TWENTY TWO ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS.ANYTHING FURTHER? THIS ONE IS THE SIMPLEST, BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT'S ON ALL THOSE SPREADSHEETS FEEDS RIGHT INTO THIS SPREADSHEET, SO IT'S IT'S REALLY JUST A COMPILATION OF THE NUMBERS DOWN INTO WHAT'S CALLED THE LEGAL LEVEL OF CONTROL.
SO THIS IS ONCE AGAIN I CAMERA IF I DISCUSS THIS IN WORK SESSION OR IN PREVIOUS.
THIS BASICALLY DESIGNATES HOW YOU ARE APPROPRIATING THE FUNDS AND ULTIMATELY DESIGNATES FURTHER HOW WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TRANSFER FUNDS.
SO WHEN I COME TO YOU FOR SUPPLEMENTALS, IT'S BECAUSE I'M MOVING MONEY BETWEEN THESE LINE ITEMS AS YOU AS YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE THEM IN THIS ORDINANCE.
ANY COUNCIL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, CITIZENS? DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO AMEND THE LEGISLATION? SO MOVED. ROLL CALL, MR. BARBEE. YES.
MR. CARPENTER, YES, MRS. GROAT. YES, MR. BERGER. YES.
YES. SO SINCE THIS WAS AMENDED ITS SECOND READING, ANY FURTHER ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS, NOTHING FURTHER. COUNSEL CITIZEN COMMENTS.

ORDINANCE F SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND ORDINANCE ZERO TWENTY EIGHT TWENTY
[Ord. F]
TWENTY ONE ANNUAL COMPENSATION FOR ALL CITY EMPLOYEES FOR YEAR TWENTY TWENTY TWO.THIS WILL BE BACK FOR THIRD READING.
TITLE ONLY MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20 SECOND.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMENTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER.
[COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL PERSONS AND GENERAL DISCUSSION]
THANK YOU. THE ONLY COMMENTS I HAVE TONIGHT IS IS AGAIN, MUCH WORK IN PROGRESS ON A BUDGET, APPRECIATE THE INTERACTION THAT WE'VE HAD WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS.WE HAVE TAKEN SOME COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS INDIVIDUALLY.
AND OF COURSE, WE TALKED QUITE A BIT ABOUT THE BUDGET AT LAST WORK SESSION.
SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT AND THANK OUR FINANCE STAFF FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.
I, YOU KNOW, WE JUST WRAPPED UP AN ELECTION.
I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT HAVE HAVE BEEN SERVING AND WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE FOR THE CITY.
SO MARK, J.R.R AND HANK, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ELECTION.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS AND APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU DO NOT ONLY IN YOUR ROLE FOR CITY COUNCIL, BUT WORK WITH OUR ADMINISTRATION AND IN MAKING THIS CITY THE BEST WE CAN MAKE IT.
AND LASTLY, I WANTED TO THANK THE CITIZENS FOR DURING THE ELECTION FOR ADOPTING OUR CHARTER AMENDMENTS.
THESE AMENDMENTS WERE WELL THOUGHT OUT, WORKED DILIGENTLY THROUGH A CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE THAT BROUGHT A BROUGHT THOSE FOUR AMENDMENTS FORTH.
AND I WANT TO THANK THE CITIZENS FOR SUPPORTING THOSE AMENDMENTS AND THE WORK OF THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE AND I THINK WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARD HELPING OUR CITY RUN AS SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE IN THE COMING YEARS.
SO THANKS TO THE CITIZENS FOR SUPPORTING THAT.
AND WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
THANK YOU, TERRY. AND THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I'LL ECHO A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT MR. EMERY WAS JUST SAYING.
I WOULD LIKE TO I'VE TEXTED YOU ALL THIS, BUT I'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, ON THE RECORD.
I CONGRATULATE YOU FOR WINNING REELECTION.
MR. BARBEE, MR. RAUSCH AND MR. AMES, CONGRATULATIONS.
I AM AWARE THAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN IN WARD ONE, AND I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT THEY
[00:50:03]
APPRECIATE YOU TALKING TO THEM OR TRYING TO TALK TO THEM.HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE THINGS TOLD TO ME BY THEM, AND THEY REALLY JUST ENJOY IT.
WHEN YOU SHOW UP AT THEIR DOOR AND, YOU KNOW, TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT THEY, WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT AND WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE DONE IN THE CITY.
SO THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING WITH MY CONSTITUENTS AND CONGRATS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE COMING YEARS.
OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH.
BESIDES, TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR.
SO IF YOU CAN THIS WEEK, TAKE A STEP OUTSIDE, BREATHE THE FRESH AIR AND AND DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. THANK YOU, HANK.
OK, WELL, TALKING ABOUT IT BEING SUCH A PRETTY TIME OF THE YEAR, YESTERDAY WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY THAT I DECIDED TO GO TO MCIVOR PARK AND I COULDN'T GET OVER HOW MANY FAMILIES WERE OUT THERE ACTUALLY MAKING PICTURES OF ALL THE TREES AND MAKING THIS, WHETHER THEY MAKE IT THE CHRISTMAS PICTURE OR ANNUAL PICTURE AT MCIVOR PARK.
BUT THE PLACE LOOKS, THE PLACE LOOKS REALLY SPECTACULAR AND IT'S A GOOD, GOOD, GOOD SHADE OF MARYSVILLE THAT, THAT'S FOR SURE.
AGAIN, I DO WANT TO SAY PLEASE, I DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE ELECTION IS BEHIND US.
YEAH, IF I LOOK BACK AT MY 12 YEARS, 2009, I WAS KIND OF A SHOO IN BECAUSE THERE WAS ONE PERSON LEAVING.
NOBODY ELSE WANTED TO TAKE THE PLACE.
SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE EASY WAY TO GET INTO AN ELECTION AND TO GET ON COUNCIL, ESPECIALLY IF YOU RUN UNOPPOSED, WHICH AGAIN, WAS THE SAME THING IN 13 17, 2017.
THINGS DID START TO CHANGE A LITTLE BIT.
SOCIAL MEDIA BECAME VERY APPARENT, AND AS YOU REMEMBER, DONALD GOT TO WITHIN 10 POINTS OF GETTING GETTING MY SEAT AT THAT TIME, WHICH OF COURSE, IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU FORGET TOO QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU THOUGHT THAT THINGS WERE GOING WELL.
AND BUT YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT IF YOU DO HAVE AN ELECTION, THAT HOW MANY NEW PEOPLE THAT ARE IN TOWN? YEAH, THAT'S JUST PHENOMENAL.
I DID A MAILER AND THE MAIL HAD EIGHT THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY FIVE.
TRIBAL VOTERS IN TOWN EIGHT THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY FIVE.
NOW THOSE HOUSEHOLD HOUSEHOLDS COULD HAVE TWO OR THREE IN THEIR HOUSE.
YEAH, BUT TO ACTUALLY CANVASS EVERYBODY IN A MAILER HAVING, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT HIGH OF A NUMBER. BUT THEN AGAIN, WHEN YOU MULTIPLY IT TIMES TWO POINT TWO, TWO POINT THREE, MAYBE YOU GET WELL WITHIN SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN THOUSAND ELIGIBLE VOTERS, AND MANY OF THOSE MAY NEVER GET ENGAGED WITH WHAT WE DO UP HERE.
WE HAVE MORE WAYS OF NOW DOING THAT AGAIN THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.
WE CONTINUE TO DO IT THROUGH THE JT.
BUT IT'S NOT AN AUTOMATIC SHOWING.
AND ANYBODY THAT IN THE FUTURE IS GOING TO WANT TO BE IN A CONTESTED RACE, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE.
IT TAKES A LOT OF KNOCKING ON DOORS.
IT TAKES A LOT OF HANGING DOOR HANGERS, PUTTING UP SIGNS, TAKING ADS.
I MEAN, THE WHOLE PARAMETER FOR US HAS CHANGED OVER TIME.
AND IF IT IS A CONTESTED RACE, IS NOT QUITE THAT SIMPLE ANYMORE AS JUST PUTTING OUT 50 SIGNS OR 100 SIGNS AND TAKE OUT A FEW ADS.
IT IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY ANYMORE.
SO ALL OF US SORT OF PROVE THAT BECAUSE ALL OF US DID PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING.
THE OTHER THING THAT THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION, MATT CALLED ME AND HE SAID, WHAT DID YOU THINK? AND I TOLD THEM, I SAID, IF THERE IS A PERSON OUT THERE WITH WITH A NAME CALLED THE ACCOUNT, THAT PERSON WINS EVERY ELECTION.
YEAH. AND AND IT SHOWS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAT
[00:55:01]
PEOPLE ARE VOTING AND THE WAY THAT YOU GET YOUR UNDERCOUNT IS TWO OR THREE OF US.IF YOU VOTE FOR JUST ONE PERSON, THEN THERE ARE TWO UNDERCOUNTS.
SO THAT'S HOW THAT'S HOW YOU GET TO THOSE ONLY COUNTS.
YEAH. SO PEOPLE PROBABLY STUDIED MORE THIS YEAR.
AT LEAST THAT'S THE IMPRESSION THAT I HAD, AND I THINK THAT EACH OF US HAD A MESSAGE AND THAT MESSAGE WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY THE CITIZENS.
AND AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DO NEED TO AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD CAPITALIZE ON, BUT WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO TAKE THAT IN CONSIDERATION OF SAYING THAT.
WHAT WAS YOUR MESSAGE? WHAT WAS YOUR MESSAGE? WHAT WAS YOUR MESSAGE THERE? BECAUSE PEOPLE DID VOTE FOR INDIVIDUALS, THEY DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY VOTE FOR THREE PEOPLE. SO THEY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IN THE FUTURE, WE AND OF COURSE, WE DO IT THROUGH OUR EVERY TWO OR THREE YEARS PLANNING.
WE GET OUT. WE WE GET OUR VOICES HEARD.
BUT I STILL THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WHATEVER WE MESSAGE, WE TRY TO CONVEY THAT WE ALSO DO TAKE THAT WITH US TO COUNSEL AT EVERY MEETING THAT WE HAVE.
SO ANYWAY, THOSE ARE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT FOUR YEARS OF BEING HERE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, J.R.. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE VOTERS AS WELL FOR FOR THE REELECTION.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO CONGRATULATE SCOTT HUNTER.
IT TAKES A LOT OF GUTS TO THROW YOUR NAME IN THE RING AND GET OUT THERE.
HE CONDUCTED A VERY PROFESSIONAL CAMPAIGN, TALKED ABOUT ISSUES, TALKED ABOUT HIS THOUGHTS ON THE ISSUES AND COMPARE IT TO LEAHY'S FAIRLY NEW TO THE CITY WHEN COMPARED TO US.
SO CONGRATULATIONS TO SCOTT, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN KEEP HIM INVOLVED IN IN THE CITY AND USE HIS PASSION FOR PUBLIC SERVICE AND KEEP HIM AROUND AND CLOSE.
I DIDN'T GO TO. I ALMOST WENT TO MCIVOR, BUT WE DECIDED TO GO TO JIM SIMMONS.
WHAT A WONDERFUL ASSET THAT IS FOR OUR CITY.
YOU KNOW, THERE WERE PEOPLE BIKING, WALKING TWO LEGGED IN FOUR LEGGED.
THERE ARE ABOUT AS MANY DOGS AS WE HAD PEOPLE RANGE OF AGES, FROM PEOPLE IN STROLLERS TO 80 90 YEAR OLDS OUT THERE TO PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WERE IN THE LITTLE CARTS AND THEY COULDN'T WALK, BUT THEY RODE OUT AND HAD A PICNIC.
YOU KNOW, THERE WERE JUST GOLFERS OUT THERE, HAD A LOT OF FUN TALKING TO THEM.
A LOT OF THEM WEREN'T FROM AROUND TOWN.
THEY HAD COME IN FROM OUT OF TOWN TO PLAY DISC GOLF.
SO WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE THEN THEY EAT NEAR OUR RESTAURANTS AND SPEND MONEY HERE IN TOWN. BUT THE JIM SIMMONS TRIAL IS JUST A GREAT ASSET TO THIS COMMUNITY.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MADE SUCH GREAT STRIDES IN OUR PARK SYSTEM THAT GOES TO ADMINISTRATION AND EVERYBODY ON STAFF.
THEY HAVE THE WHOLE CITY LOOKING GREAT AND JUST IT WAS REALLY A LOT OF FUN SEEING EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON.
SO THANKS FOR FOR ALL THAT YOU DO OVER THERE.
PUMPKIN DROP WAS THIS PAST WEEKEND, TOO.
HOW'D THAT GO, CHIEF? WE RAISED SIXTEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS FOR BLESSINGS IN A BACKPACK.
AWESOME. I DROPPED A LITTLE OVER THREE HUNDRED PUMPKINS.
SO AND THE WEEK BEFORE WE HAD SCARIES VILLE UPTOWN THAT WE GOT A CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN JUST SEEMS LIKE EVERY WEEKEND WE HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON IN MARYSVILLE ANYMORE.
DONALD, I JUST WANTED TO TAKE YOU BACK STARTING WITH HAYNE.
UM, I THINK WHEN IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, YOU WE HAD WE WERE 18 VOTES AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. AND THEN WHEN THE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS CAME IN, I THINK IT WENT DOWN TO LIKE NINE OR 10. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'M SORRY, EIGHT, 10 OR EIGHT THINKING ABOUT THE ELECTION NOW.
I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT, YOU KNOW.
YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T MY TIME AND THINK ABOUT IT NOW, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF A BLESSING BECAUSE I THINK I I THINK I'M A STRONGER ADVOCATE IN MY OWN WARD.
AND I DON'T THINK WHEN YOU RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE, I DON'T THINK PEOPLE NECESSARILY REALIZE THE AMOUNT OF WORK IT TAKES AND ESPECIALLY FOR YOU, THREE, FOR A CITY AT LARGE
[01:00:03]
AND THE TOWN IS GROWING AND THE MONEY THAT IT TAKES TO PAY FOR AN ELECTION, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T MAKE THAT KIND OF MONEY.AND SO NOT ONLY IS IT WITH PUBLIC SERVICE, YES, YOU KNOW, YOU DO THIS JOB BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SERVE, YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES YOU HAVE TO SPEND OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL FUNDING TO WIN AN ELECTION IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I THINK YOU REALLY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
SO BUT THEN ALSO GOING TO JR'S COMMENTS ABOUT DOGS ACTUALLY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TODAY, THERE ARE MORE DOGS IN HOUSEHOLDS THAN THERE ARE CHILDREN IN HOUSEHOLDS.
SO CHILDREN'S OR CHILDREN ARE ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, THE AVERAGE FAMILY, I THINK HAS LIKE TWO CHILDREN AND THERE'S LIKE THREE TO FOUR DOGS NOW IN A HOUSEHOLD.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S CRAZY HOW SOCIETY IS CHANGING.
AND ALSO, IF WE INVEST IT IN OPEN SPACE AND CREATED METRO PARKS IN THE CITY, CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE USING THOSE PARKS? AND THE LAST AND THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS SPEAKING ABOUT THE WEATHER.
OCTOBER WAS THE THIRD WARMEST ON RECORD IN THE STATE OF OHIO AND ACTUALLY IN THE LAST 15 YEARS PEAK.
THE PEAK SEASON HAS ACTUALLY IT'S ONE WEEK LATER THAN WHAT IT WAS 15 YEARS AGO.
SO PEAK SEASON NOW IS BETWEEN HALLOWEEN AND NOVEMBER, THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, IT WAS THE WEEK BEFORE HALLOWEEN.
SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU.
I, YOU KNOW, AS A YOUNGER COUNCIL MEMBER, I DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD I WOULD BE AT MY JOB IF I DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF YOU GUYS HERE.
BECAUSE AS A NEW COUNCIL MEMBER, YOU COME IN WITH GREAT IDEAS AND BOLD VISION AND YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR STATEMENT AND YOU WANT TO BE HEARD.
BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE ON COUNCIL, YOU DON'T NECESSARILY UNDERSTAND ALL THE PATHWAYS TO GET SOMETHING DONE.
SO I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR YOUR COMMITMENT AND THEN ALSO HELPING ME.
SO AND IT WON'T BE LONG AND WE'LL BE ALL RUNNING AGAIN.
THANK YOU. AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS.
I MET AND SPOKE WITH MR. HUNTER, AND I TOTALLY AGREE THAT WE NEED HIM AND LEADERSHIP ON COMMITTEES.
VERY, VERY SOUND CANDIDATE THAT THE THREE OF YOU WERE ELECTED REELECTED.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I COULD NOT HAVE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED MR. HUNTER. SO AGAIN, I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE MOVING FORWARD A GOAL OF OURS TO TO GET SOMEBODY THAT GOOD ON OUR ON OUR TEAM.
SECONDLY, MY HUSBAND AND I RECENTLY TRAVELED TO NORTH CAROLINA.
WE WERE AT AN AREA WHERE THEY HAD AN INDOOR POOL, HORSEBACK RIDING, GEM MINING AND AN OUTSIDE PLAY YARD FOR THE FOR THE GRAHAMS, FOR THE GRANDCHILDREN.
AND EVERYTHING WAS 20 TO 30 MINUTES AWAY.
THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD HAVE TAKEN OUR GRANDCHILDREN ANYWHERE WITHOUT A VEHICLE.
AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME TO APPRECIATE WHAT WE HAVE YOU GENTLEMEN TALKING ABOUT OUR PARKS AND YOUR TRIPS TO OUR PARKS.
THERE IS LITERALLY NO PLACE LIKE MARYSVILLE FOR THE QUALITY OF LIFE.
WE HAVE THE CONVENIENCE OF BEING ABLE TO DO THIS.
I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU GO TO WHAT RESORT YOU GO.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE COMING HOME, SO THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE, MARK.
NO, I GREW UP IN KANSAS AND YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL IT AGAIN.
YOU KNOW, SEVERAL OF THE THINGS I WAS GOING TO COMMENT ON HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAID.
I DID WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO TOOK THE TIME, YOU KNOW, TO DIG INTO THE BUDGET.
I KNOW A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS TALKED WITH ME.
I KNOW A COUPLE OF COUNCILMEMBERS GOT WITH OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR AND TERRY, SO WE APPRECIATE THAT IT HELPS MAKE OUR BUDGET BETTER.
I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PUMPKIN DROP OR EVEN MENTIONED WE RAISED OVER SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR BLESSINGS IN A BACKPACK.
THAT'S A REALLY COOL EVENT THAT WE HAVE AND AND A GOOD WAY TO RECYCLE OUR PUMPKINS IS THAT DOES THAT MAKE IT GREEN? YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
AND YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY WHO REELECTED ME AND ALSO TO THOSE OF YOU WHO VOTED
[01:05:01]
FOR J.R. AND HANK.REMEMBER, WE WILL BE DOING A TOUR AT THE WATER PLANT NEXT MONDAY AT 5:00.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE PRETTY QUICKLY BECAUSE IT'S STARTING TO GET DARKER A LITTLE EARLIER. SO WE'LL SEE YOU ON MONDAY.
WE'LL TAKE A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT SO MOVED IN FAVOR.
PLEASE SAY HI. I MEAN.
