[ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT]

[00:15:01]

BLOOD DRIVE IS TOMORROW. TOMORROW. FROM 11 TO 4 AT THE COMMUNITY ROOM AT OUR POLICE AND COURT FACILITY. SO IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY AND TIME TO TO GIVE BLOOD, THE BLOOD DRIVE IS A GOOD PLACE TO DO IT. AND THEY CAN GET YOU OUT OF THERE PRETTY QUICKLY. SO. NOW A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT I WANTED TO TOUCH ON REAL QUICK THIS FRIDAY, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IS OUR FIRST FRIDAY NIGHT, UPTOWN ROCK THE BLOCK THIS FRIDAY FROM 6 TO 10 P.M. MUSIC BY MCGUFFEY LANE, PRESENTED BY MONARCH ROOFING. AND SO AN AWESOME SEASON. YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN PRETTY FORTUNATE ON THE WEATHER THAT WE GET BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL DEPENDENT ON, ON GOOD WEATHER.

SO AS I LOOK AT THE WEATHER REPORT SO FAR, I THINK IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. SO SO WE'LL TRY TO HOLD THAT UNTIL UNTIL AFTER FRIDAY. AND THEN LAST I, YOU KNOW, AND I INGA, HELP ME IF I'M WRONG. THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC MEETING TO GO OVER THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE ON OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY. THAT'S COMING UP ON MAY 20TH AT THE AVALON. WHAT'S THE TIMES 530 TO 7, 530 TO 7 THERE AT THE AVALON. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO, TO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT'S A SENSITIVE ISSUE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IT'D BE A GOOD TIME FOR THOSE THAT, YOU KNOW, EITHER WAY, WHETHER THEY'RE PRO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR FEEL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE GROWING AND BEING TOO AGGRESSIVE ON SOME OF THE, THE GROWTH AND THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAPPENING. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT MEETING TO ATTEND AND GET A GENERAL IDEA OF EVERYTHING THAT'S BEING TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. AM I MISSING ANYTHING THERE? INGA.

OKAY, PERFECT. OTHER THAN THAT, I'LL SHIFT TO JEREMY AND LET HIM REPORT OUT. YEAH. THANKS, TERRY. CITY STREET CREWS CONTINUE TO ASSIST WITH EARTHWORK ASSOCIATED WITH DECOMMISSIONING THE FORMER WATER TREATMENT PLANT, AND ARE ALSO REPAIRING CATCH BASINS AHEAD OF THE UPCOMING PAVING PROGRAM. CITY CREWS ARE MULCHING BEDS IN THE UPTOWN AND PREPARING THE POOL FOR OPENING DAY. SO THAT'S GOOD. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A CEMETERY ADVISORY BOARD MEETING ON ON THE 13TH. SO THAT'D BE IN ON WEDNESDAY. CITY CREWS CONTINUE TO WORK ON NORTH CONLEY STREET WATER LINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT AND ARE ALSO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. THE AVERAGE PRODUCTION WATER PRODUCTION AT THE PLANT WAS UP TO 3.91 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, WITH A PEAK OF 4.3, SO IT LOOKED LIKE THAT PEAK WAS ON LAST SUNDAY, SO A WEEK AGO. SO IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE ARE OUT WATERING, WATERING THEIR LAWNS. AND THEN FINALLY, BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO ASHLEY, WASTEWATER STAFF IS CURRENTLY REVIEWING A RECENTLY COMPLETED SOLID STUDY AT THE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY. SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO ASHLEY FOR SOME ENGINEERING UPDATES. YEAH, I CAN SHARE OUR CONSTRUCTION UPDATES THIS WEEK. SO WE HAVE CARRIE JACOBS AND CHERRY STREET SANITARY.

[00:25:04]

THANK YOU, MR. WOLFF. COUNCIL MEMBERS, ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? MR. REAMES, I WAS TALKING WITH STEVE AND BEFORE THE MEETING ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE I HAD. YESTERDAY MORNING AT MCKEEVER WOODS, I. I WAS WALKING MY DOG ENTERED THE. THE ENTRANCE TO THE WOODS WENT ABOUT 20 OR 30FT AND LOOKED OFF TO THE SIDE AND SAW SOME FRESH CONCRETE THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT PEOPLE USE OUR NATURE PRESERVE TO DUMP THEIR TRASH. THAT'S THE SECOND TIME I FOUND IT DUMPED IN THAT LOCATION. AND YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN WHICHEVER ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS DID THAT. YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S NOT THEIR PERSONAL DUMP TO PUT THEIR UNWANTED TRASH IN. YEAH, I CAN, I CAN SHOW YOU AND I TOOK A COUPLE PICTURES, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S A NATURE PRESERVE. IT'S FOR EVERYONE AND SOMEBODY JUST TREATS IT LIKE THEIR OWN DUMP. SO IT'S A DISAPPOINTMENT. IT'S A SECOND TIME IT'S HAPPENED IN THAT LOCATION. AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN PUT A STOP TO THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS? THANK YOU, MR. WOLFF. MOVING ON TO THE HEARING OF THE OF CITIZENS. SO THIS IS A TIME IN THIS EVENING'S MEETING WHERE WE INVITE CITIZENS UP TO THE PODIUM. AND IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED TO ASK QUESTIONS OR SORRY, MAKE MAKE COMMENTS, COME TO THE PODIUM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND YOU'LL BE ALLOTTED UP TO FIVE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON ITEMS NOT UNDERGOING IN CURRENT LEGISLATION NOT BEING CONSIDERED AS PART OF CURRENT LEGISLATION. I DO NOT SEE ANYONE HEADING TO THE PODIUM SO

[09-26]

IMPROVEMENT. IN THE PAST, WE'VE DONE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS. SO WE EVALUATED THE PROJECT FOR THIS YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THOSE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS. TONIGHT IS OUR SECOND READING AND ALSO THE FINAL READING. AND THEN TOMORROW WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. SO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THAT, IT'S AT 830 IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS HERE.

AND THEN WE ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION WILL START IN THE SPRING OR SUMMER OF 2027 AND WRAP UP BY THE SUMMER OF 2028. SO THIS PROJECT WILL BE ON WEST THIRD STREET FROM GRAND AVENUE TO JUST PAST SCOTT CIRCLE. SO WHERE YOU SEE PARCEL WITH 750 THERE. THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS DRIVEWAY ALREADY HAS A SIDEWALK, AND THE SIDEWALK JUST ENDS. SO WE WANT TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION DOWN TO GRAND AVENUE, GET YOU OVER TO CLOSER TO THE SWIMMING POOL, AND ALSO CAN HELP WITH SOME OF THAT ACCESS FOR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS. SO THAT STRIP ALONG GRAND AVENUE ALONG WEST THIRD, AND THEN DEPENDING ON FUNDING, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT CONNECTING FROM GRAND DOWN TO FIFTH. SO HEADING KIND OF SOUTH, THEN TURNING THAT CORNER. AND THAT'S GOING TO THAT'S GOING TO DEPEND ON HOW THOSE BIDS COME IN AND HOW CLOSE WE

[00:31:09]

HAD TO GO ON ONE OF THESE LOTS THAT HOME. WOULD IT BE REQUIRED TO PUT A SIDEWALK IN FRONT, WHEREAS OTHER. IT WOULD JUST KIND OF BE THE SIDEWALK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, WHICH IS WHAT YOU SEE. MAKE THESE CONNECTIONS. YOU SEE THAT ON COLLINS AVENUE, THERE'S A NEWER BUILD OR A COUPLE NEW BUILDS WHERE THERE'S SIDEWALKS THAT JUST END IN THE GRASS. BUT YES, THIS IS I SEE THIS AS A BENEFIT. HAVING WALKED OR EVEN BICYCLED ON THIRD AND PEDESTRIAN, BUT I, I SEE THIS AS A BENEFIT. SO GREAT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. THIS IS SECOND READING. SO AT THIS TIME, WE WOULD INVITE CITIZENS WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC TO COME FORWARD. HEARING NONE. COUNCIL. ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS? OKAY, SO THIS IS WE DID WE DID WE WAIVE THIRD READING ON THIS IN OUR LAST MEETING? SORRY. THANK YOU. SO HERE WE WAIVE THIRD READING. THIS REQUIRES A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. SO MOVED. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION ROLL CALL. MRS. PACKAGE. YES. MR. REAMS YES. MRS. YOUNG YES. MR. BORDNER YES. MR. WOLFF. YES.

[20-26]

CODIFIED ORDINANCES REGARDING STREET, TREE AND PARKLAND FEES AND I HAVE A PRESENTATION TO PULL UP. THE INTERNET IS WORKING SO GOOD. YOU SAID IT IS WORKING NOW. GOOD. I SPOKE TOO SOON. AND JEREMY WILL HANDLE THIS AS HE HAS. AND JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE AS WE MOVE THIS FORWARD. SO YEAH, THANK YOU TERRY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT WE'VE ADDRESSED WITH THE REVISED LANGUAGE. ARE YOU ABLE TO PAN DOWN. YES. SORRY. SO I GUESS WE'LL START TOWARDS THE BOTTOM AND THEN END AT THE TOP. SO AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING IT WAS DISCUSSED INSTEAD OF STAIR STEPPING, I GUESS THE THE INCREASED FEES OVER THREE YEARS AND SPREAD THAT OUT. IT WAS SUGGESTED TO INCORPORATE THAT OVER TWO YEARS. SO THE TEXT THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU NOW DOES THAT. SO THIS THIS SHOWS THE PARKLAND FEE GOING FROM $1,000 PER UNIT UP TO $2,500 PER UNIT IN TWO YEARS VERSUS THREE AS WELL ON THIS ITEM AS IT RELATES TO NONRESIDENTIAL, INCLUDING COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL. IT DOES THE SAME THING AT THAT 30% REDUCTION OR 30% OF SINGLE FAMILY ON A PER ACRE BASIS. WE ALSO HAVE SIMILAR TEXT TO STAIR STEP IT IN. IF COUNCIL ELECTS TO GO TO A PER SQUARE FOOT BASIS BASED ON THE BUILDING SIZE. SO BOTH OF THOSE OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE. THE. YEP. SO THAT SHOWS THAT. MACKENZIE, IF YOU DON'T MIND PANNING DOWN. SO SO THAT'S THE FIRST ITEM. SECOND ITEM. SO I ADDED A POINT NUMBER THREE SAYING MIXED USE

[00:35:06]

WE ARE NOW CONTRACTING OUT OUR PLAN REVIEWS OR SOME OF THEM, IF THEY'RE ALREADY ON THIRD REVIEW, WE'RE FINISHING IT OUT. BUT IF IT'S A FIRST REVIEW IN ORDER TO COVER CHAD RESSLER AND KYLE HOLLINGS DEPARTURE, WE ARE SENDING THAT OUT TO CONSULTANTS. THE TEXT THAT YOU SEE UNDER NUMBER TWO IS SIMILAR TO TEXT THAT WE HAVE IN OUR INSPECTION FEE LANGUAGE, WHERE, YOU KNOW, IF OUR INSPECTION FEES ARE X AND IT COSTS TWO X TO INSPECT SOMETHING OR TWO X TO PLAN REVIEW, THE CITY'S NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE COSTS. IF WE DO END UP HIRING A THIRD PARTY. SO THE LANGUAGE REALLY JUST SAYS IF THE COST OF THE ENGINEERING REVIEW EXCEEDS THE FEES THAT ARE ABOVE, THE APPLICANT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL COST. SO I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST AS IT RELATES TO INSPECTION FEES, I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER INCORPORATED IT BECAUSE WE DO ALL OF OUR INSPECTIONS IN OUR IN-HOUSE. NOW THAT WE HAVE TO SUBCONTRACT THAT WORK OUT. IT DIDN'T SEEM, I GUESS, FAIR THAT, HEY, OUR FEES ARE 1000, BUT WE'RE GETTING CHARGED 2000 BY A CONSULTANT THAT THE CITY SHOULD HAVE TO EAT THAT $1,000 OR THAT DIFFERENCE. SO AGAIN, NOT SOMETHING WE'RE HOPING TO DO ONCE WE GET BACK TO FULLY STAFFED HERE IN A COUPLE MONTHS. BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THAT AS AN OPTION IN CASE WE GET TEN SUBMITTALS ON THE SAME DAY, AND WE'RE TRYING TO TURN THEM AROUND IN A IN A QUICK AND EXPEDITIOUS MANNER. SO AT LEAST FROM MY CONVERSATIONS WITH DEVELOPERS IN GENERAL, TIME IS MONEY. SO THEY WOULD MUCH RATHER PAY A LITTLE EXTRA TO GET IT DONE ON TIME THAN IF WE HAD TO WAIT 45 DAYS TO DO SOMETHING JUST DUE TO THE STAFFING. SO I FEEL IT'S A GOOD ADD. IT WAS SOMETHING I THOUGHT OF, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO BRING FORWARD 3 OR 4 WEEKS AGO. AND THEN AS I WAS GOING THROUGH MAKING THE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PARKLAND FEE, I'M LIKE, WELL, WE'VE ALREADY GOT THIS CODE IN PLACE. SO, YOU KNOW, SINCE WE'RE ALREADY MODIFYING IT, WE MIGHT AS WELL MODIFY IT AT THIS TIME. IF IF COUNCIL WISHES TO DO SO. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. HOYT. COUNCIL, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. GO AHEAD. IF AN ADU IS PROPOSED, I THINK THIS FEE WILL APPLY. THE QUESTION IS LIKE, HOW DO WE CAPTURE THAT? BECAUSE I THINK IN THE PAST WE MIGHT HAVE MISSED THAT. YEAH. IF YOU ARE. MACKENZIE, DO YOU MIND GOING TO THE. I GUESS I'D BE BULLET POINT THREE UNLESS THIS. IF YOU SCROLL DOWN JUST A HAIR. MORE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS THAT USES A MIXED USE AN ADU DEVELOPMENTS OR. I GUESS THAT'S NOT REALLY A DEVELOPMENT. IT JUST NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO WHATEVER FORMS WE'RE USING. LIKE THEY'RE PAYING A A CONNECTION FEE FOR WATER AND SEWER. THEY ARE. SO AT LEAST WITH THE CONNECTION FEES ARE USUALLY PAYING 40% BECAUSE NOW YOU'VE ALREADY PAID ONE AND NOW YOU'RE CHARGED AT OUR MULTIFAMILY RATE. AND THEN IN THIS CASE, WE DO NOT DIFFERENTIATE THAT BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, OR AT LEAST PARKLANDS, NOT, NOT GIVEN THAT THAT THAT 30% REDUCTION. SO TO ME, I WOULD SAY THAT COUNTS AS MULTIFAMILY. BUT I, IF THERE'S ANY POINT OF CLARIFICATION THAT'S GOING TO HELP STAFF OUT IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO CAPTURE THAT I AM ON BOARD WITH OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, WHATEVER SUGGESTED. SO WE CAN DEFINITELY PUT THAT IN THERE. I'M NOT CERTAIN THAT IT NEEDS A LANGUAGE REVISION, BUT MORE SO MAYBE MY QUESTION THE OTHER WEEK, AND YOUR QUESTION SEEMS TO BE ABOUT JUST REALLY ABOUT OUR PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE ADEQUATELY CAPTURING THAT. WHEN IS THE COLLECTION TRIGGER, RIGHT? THAT'S THE QUESTION. YEAH. THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN JUST TELL OUR ENGINEERING CLERK, YOU KNOW, LIKE, HEY, THIS IS AN ADU OR, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, ANYTHING THAT'S ATYPICAL IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT FOR US, YOU KNOW, BUT, YOU KNOW, A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE, OUR CLERK COULD SAY, YEP, IT'S X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS AND KNOW THAT BY HEART, BUT WHENEVER IT BECOMES AN ADU. SO THAT COULD BE SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, I CAN ALERT HER ON TO, HEY, BRING IT TO MY ATTENTION. OR, YOU KNOW,

[00:40:01]

IT'S BASICALLY USING THE BASE CALCULATION METHODOLOGY OF OUR CURRENT AND HISTORICAL CODE, BUT REVISING THE NUMBERS. THE OTHER OPTION THAT YOU HAD SHOWED SHOWN INITIALLY IS THE PER ACRE BASIS FOR THE COMMERCIAL. ALL ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR PRESENT CODE, BUT THIS IS PERTAINING TO POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS. SO THERE'S THE PHASE IN TIME. THERE'S ALSO THE PER ACRE CHARGE FOR COMMERCIAL. I KNOW I HAD EXPRESSED MY OPINION IN THE PAST TO FAVOR THIS ONE, BUT I WOULD LIKE THERE SHOULD BE DISCUSSION AND A MOTION AT SOME POINT IN TONIGHT'S DISCUSSION TO PROCEED WITH ONE OR THE OTHER, AND THEN WE WOULD TAKE A VOTE ON THAT. SO IF THERE'S FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE DO THAT NOW FOR THESE, MR. REEVES. MR. PRESIDENT, AT THE LAST MEETING, I THINK WE KIND OF CAME TO CONSENSUS TO GO WITH THE PER ACRE BASIS AND THE TWO YEAR PHASE IN, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THESE CHANGES THAT ARE PRESENTED AS THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TONIGHT REFLECT ALL THE DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. I AGREE, I MOVE TO AMEND THE LEGISLATION AS PROPOSED WITH THESE CHANGES. OKAY. THERE IS A MOTION. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SO THE MOTION IS TO AMEND THE LEGISLATION ACCORDING TO WHAT'S DISPLAYED HERE. I ROLL CALL.

REEMS YES. MRS. YOUNG YES. MR. BORDNER YES. MR. WOLFF YES. MR. HUNTER. YES. MRS. PACKAGE.

YES. MOTION PASSES. LEGISLATION AS AMENDED IS BACK TO SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME. I WILL ASK ANY FOR ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS. OKAY. HEARING NO CITIZEN COMMENTS. THERE IS THE ABILITY TO. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS AT LENGTH. NOW FOR VARIOUS MEETINGS, WE HAVE THE OPTION TO WAIVE THIRD READING AND IN ESSENCE, PUTTING IT. MAKING THE EFFECTIVE DATE SOONER THAN LATER, AND IF THAT'S THE WILL OF COUNCIL, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO WAIVE THIRD READING. MR. PRESIDENT, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO WAIVE THE THIRD READING.

OKAY. ANY DISCUSSION? ROLL CALL. MRS. YOUNG YES. MR. BORDNER YES. MR. WOLFF YES. MR. HUNTER. YES.

[28-26]

[29-26]

AND IT KIND OF INVOLVES MULTI TENANT COMMERCIAL SPACES AND CURRENT INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS.

NOW THE BUILDING HAS A COMMERCIAL COMPONENT THAT HAS AN OCCUPANCY PERMIT. AND SO THERE'S A BUSINESS IN THERE. THERE'S AN ANNUAL RESPECT AN ANNUAL INSPECTION THAT'S REQUIRED THAT'S CONDUCTED BY THE DIVISION OF FIRE. WHAT THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE IS IF, SAY, IF IT'S A COMMERCIAL SPACE ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND THERE'S VACANT SPACES ABOVE IT, THERE'S NO INSPECTION REQUIREMENT FOR THOSE UPPER SPACES. SO THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING, YOU KNOW, ON OUR END OR THE DEPARTMENTS AND THE BUILDING DEPARTMENTS AND WHAT THE CONDITION OF THOSE UPPER FLOORS ARE IN. AND BUT THEY STILL HAVE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO THE BUILDING SAFETY OF THAT OCCUPIED FIRST FLOOR SPACE. SO I THINK JUST AN IMPORTANT WHAT WE THINK IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THAT INSPECTION REQUIREMENT SO THAT WE KNOW, HEY, THAT ROOF SYSTEM IS, IS IN GOOD SHAPE, IT'S NOT GOING TO CREATE A DANGER TO ANYBODY WHO MIGHT BE OCCUPYING THE FIRST FLOOR. AND WE ALL PROBABLY REMEMBER THE BUILDING ON THE CORNER OVER HERE THAT HAD THAT HAPPEN WITH THE STRAIGHT LINE WINDS WHERE THE ROOF CAVED IN, THEY HAD TO VACATE THE BUILDING. SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, MAYBE ADD A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION AS TO WHAT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE THINK THIS INSPECTION REQUIREMENT IS IMPORTANT. THANK YOU. ANY LET'S SEE HERE, CITIZENS. HEARING NO.

CITIZENS COUNCIL. ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BY MEMBERS OF COUNCIL? THANK YOU, MR. ANDREWS, FOR THAT UPDATE. THIS WILL BE BACK FOR THIRD READING VOTE ON MAY 26TH.

[30-26]

[00:50:05]

NOW, COINCIDENTALLY, THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT JUSTIN LEFT AS FINANCE DIRECTOR AND I WAS COMING IN. SO I'M GOING TO ASSUME THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY WHY IT WAS MISSED. BUT REGARDLESS, THERE WAS ROUGHLY $124,000 SITTING IN THE CAPITAL FUND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE JUST KIND OF STARTED ASKING OURSELVES DOWNSTAIRS, WHAT'S THIS THERE FOR? CAN WE GET THIS? CAN WE GET RID OF THIS? AND THE AUDITORS, OUR NEW AUDITORS ARE MUCH MORE PICKY ABOUT THESE SORTS OF THINGS THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE. SO THEY WERE ALS ASKING QUESTIONS LIKE, WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS MONEY HERE? AND WE'RE LIKE, THAT'S A, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOR THE SAKE OF THE AUDITORS, WHAT'S IN YOUR PACKET IS A VERY WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER COMPLICATED EXPLANATION FOR WHAT IT IS. BUT IN THE END, IT'S MONEY OF THE GENERAL FUND MOVED INTO THIS FUND AND THEN AFTER THE PROGRAM WAS REIMBURSED, SHOULD HAVE BEEN MOVED BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN 2019. SO NOW IT'S HAPPENING IN 2026.

SO WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA MONEY GOING BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND THAT COULD BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES, WHETHER THIS YEAR OR INTO THE FUTURE. SO THAT'S IT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. YEAH. NO, MR. PRESIDENT, JUST TO REITERATE, WE DID DISCUSS THIS AT OUR LAST FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING. THE ONLY THING THAT I DID ASK, AND I BELIEVE I MENTIONED IT IN WORKING SESSION LAST WEEK, WAS THAT THE 120 WHAT, THREE ISH THOUSAND BE ALLOCATED TO, TO A PROJECT. AND LIKE WE KNOW WHERE IT'S WHERE IT'S GOING THAT WAY. IT'S NOT JUST PUT IN THE GENERAL FUND. AND THEN. EVAPORATES. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE MONEY BE BE USED FOR FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE, AS AN AGREED UPON BETWEEN THIS COUNCIL AND OBVIOUSLY STAFF BRINGING SOMETHING FORWARD TO ALLOCATE THE THOSE DOLLARS FOR. SO PRESUMABLY IT WOULD BE LEVERAGED FOR A FUTURE CAPITAL PROJECT, WHETHER THAT'S IN 2026, CALENDAR YEAR OR OR OTHERS. BUT LIKE FOR THE DOLLARS TO BE ALLOCATED ACCORDINGLY. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. WARNER. ANY OTHER COMMENTS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS? COMMENTS. QUESTIONS. JUST A COMMENT FOR YOUR AVERAGE CITIZEN, INCLUDING ME. POINTS IN THE PAST, YOU LEARN THAT OUR FUNDS AREN'T JUST YOU CAN'T JUST YOU CAN'T COLLECT WATER, TAP FEES AND START PAYING FOR STREET PAVEMENT. AND LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE YOUR PRIVATE, YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL MIGHT HAVE A CHECKING ACCOUNT AND YOU CAN YOU PUT MONEY INTO YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT AND YOU PAY MONEY OUT OF YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. IT'S MANAGED DIFFERENTLY. AND IT'S, IT'S THAT WAY FOR A PURPOSE. YOU COLLECT MONEY FOR, FOR WATER FEES, IT'S GOING TOWARDS A CERTAIN FUND AND YOU COLLECT MONEY FROM THE TAXPAYER IN ANOTHER WAY. AND IT HAS TO GO TOWARDS THESE TYPES OF EXPENDITURES. IT'S THERE FOR A PURPOSE. IT'S ULTIMATELY THERE TO PROTECT TAXPAYERS AND ENSURE THAT PROPER USAGE OF THEIR MONIES ARE OCCURRING. SO WHAT IT DOES DO IS IT CAUSES US TO HAVE TO HEAR THESE TYPES OF THINGS WHERE WE'RE MAKING THESE ADMINISTRATIVE MOVES OF MONEY IN THE CASE WHERE IT DOES NEED TO BE MOVED AROUND. BUT I GUESS ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT LIKE WE HAVE TO GET INTO THE WEEDS ON MOVING A LITTLE MONEY FROM HERE TO THERE. IN THE GRAND GRAND SCHEME OF TH, IT'S FOR THE IT'S FOR REALLY FOR TRANSPARENCY AND PROTECTION OF TAXPAYERS. SO WITH NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, THIS WILL BE BACK FOR SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING ON MAY 26TH. COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER

[COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL PERSONS AND GENERAL DISCUSSION]
