>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
IT IS ALSO NOTABLE THAT DUPLICATING A LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE, COOLER TEMPERATURES MANAGE QUITE A ROUTINE.
I KNOW TODAY, CHIEF [INAUDIBLE] AND WE HAVE OUR TYPE ONE TEAM ON THE GROUND AND IN THE AIR AND THE WEATHER, MAYBE WE'LL SEE A TURN OF EVENTS.
WE WENT THROUGH SOME OF THE PROTOCOL YESTERDAY, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PROTOCOL.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR A VERY THOUGHTFUL RETREAT YESTERDAY, IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.
THEN, OF COURSE, BY RICK TADDER.
[LAUGHTER] I WANT TO THANK YOU, JULIE, FOR LEADING US THROUGH A BUSY AGENDA TODAY.
BEFORE I CONTINUE WITH THE DIVISION REPORTS, THERE'S MORE OF THAT INFORMATION, BUT A LITTLE BIT LESS OF THE INFORMATIONAL STUFF AS A FULL IN THE WAR OF OPPORTUNITY FOR DIALOGUE [INAUDIBLE] ESPECIALLY AS WE GET IN THE AFTERNOON.
BECAUSE WE STAYED THROUGH TIME YESTERDAY, AND THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT, WE'VE ACTUALLY ALLOCATED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THIS AFTERNOON FOR SOME DIALOGUE AND WE'LL SEE WHERE THE CONVERSATIONS GO.
IT IS FRIDAY, SO WHEN WE'RE DONE, WE GET TO ENJOY THE WEEKEND.
BUT I DO AGAIN, WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS AND PARTICIPATION YESTERDAY.
JULIE, ARE YOU READY TO LEAD US?
>> WOULD YOU MIND TURNING TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AND JUST LIKE YESTERDAY BUT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT? [LAUGHTER]
>> BECAUSE I HAVE NO NEIGHBOR.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. THERE'S MANY NEIGHBORS.
>> SHARE WITH THEM THAT YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR THIS MORNING.
[00:05:40]
WONDERFUL.TGIVR. [BACKGROUND] YES THE BUDGET RETREAT.
AREN'T WE LUCKY? THIS MORNING WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE LINEUP, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAVE LUNCH.
THIS MORNING WE HAVE DAN FOLKE TO START US OFF.
[INAUDIBLE] THEN WE'VE GOT OVERTON [INAUDIBLE] THEN WE'LL HAVE A GREAT FLOCK OF US BEING INFORMED AND HOW LUCKY ARE WE TO GET TO LISTEN AND ENJOY.
IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE ARE THESE CHAT PACK CARDS.
IF AT ANY TIME DURING A BREAK YOU WANT TO HAVE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR, THERE ARE SOME PROMPTS.
GOING WITH THE FECA IDEA OF CONNECTING WITH EACH OTHER SO FEEL FREE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
TODAY, THERE WILL BE MORE DISCUSSION, MORE NEGOTIATION, AND WHAT I WANT US TO REMEMBER BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS, AND GOOD MORNING. WELCOME.
>> IS THAT WHEN WE NEGOTIATE, WHEN WE MAKE DECISIONS TOGETHER AND WE WANT TO KEEP IN MIND A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE ALREADY KNOW, VERA AND I WERE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS THIS MORNING, LISTENING.
LISTENING IS SO IMPORTANT, SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND AND GETTING CURIOUS, ASKING OTHER PEOPLE QUESTIONS SO WE CAN GET TO THE BEST DECISION ANSWER AND MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER.
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET'S ALL WELCOME TO THE STAGE, COMMUNITY AND DEVELOPMENT, DAN FOLKE.
>> TO COME ON DOWN. [BACKGROUND]
>> GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. I WAS DOING SOME CALISTHENICS IN THE BACK, REALLY, BECAUSE I DON'T USUALLY DO PRESENTATIONS EARLY IN THE MORNING [INAUDIBLE] TO COME.
HE'S MADE IT A DAY, BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE.
BUT I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE.
I'M HERE TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS, THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, THE AMAZING THINGS WE'RE DOING, AND SOME OF THE SUPPORT WE'RE GETTING FROM THE BUDGET TEAM.
IT HAS BEEN A GREAT TWO YEARS, I WILL JUST SAY THAT.
I THINK WE'RE COMING OUT THESE TWO YEARS STRONGER, STRONGER THAN WE'VE BEEN.
BOTH TECHNOLOGY WISE, THE WAY WE'RE DOING BUSINESS, PLUS SOME OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE, IT'S REALLY AMAZING.
BACK IN NOVEMBER, WE MET AS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WE RE-ENVISIONED OUR MISSION AND VISION.
I LIKE TO SHARE THAT EVERY TIME I START NOW, THE COURSES WITH THE GUIDANCE OF HESTER CONSULTING AND JULIE [INAUDIBLE].
OUR MISSION IS WE BUILD COMMUNITY TOGETHER, PROVIDE SERVICES WITH INTEGRITY, AND HONOR THE DIVERSE HERITAGE OF LIFESTYLE.
WE DO THAT THROUGH OUR VISION, WHICH IS WE CHAMPION A VIBRANT, EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE, AND SAFE COMMUNITY FOR TODAY AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.
THERE, YOU CAN SEE THE SUPPORT WE'D GOTTEN FOR SOME NEW FUNDING.
ABOUT HALF OF THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR OUR HOUSING AUTHORITY.
I'LL GO OVER THAT IN JUST A MINUTE, WE WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
AGAIN, WE'VE HAD AMAZING SUPPORT FROM THE BUDGET TEAM.
I CAN JUST TELL YOU FOLKS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPERS, SO APPRECIATE IT.
YOU CAN SEE REALLY PRETTY MUCH ALL OF OUR COSTS HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED TO BE FUNDED.
UP IN QUARTILE 1, A LOT OF OUR LONG-RANGE PLANNING AND SOME OF OUR OTHER VISIONARY WORK IS STILL IN QUARTILE 1 AND RATES VERY HIGH.
QUARTILE 2, WE HAVE A LOT OF OUR PERMITTING, PLANNING, AND INSPECTIONS IS IN THAT CATEGORY.
YOU WILL SEE THAT BEING SUPPORTED.
THEN INTERESTINGLY, THE 1.6 MILLION IN QUARTILE 3 IS ACTUALLY FUNDING FROM HUD FOR OUR ULTRA PROGRAM.
THESE ARE DIRECT PAYMENTS GOING TO SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN FLAGSTAFF.
I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE MORE.
THIS IS ALL ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE RECEIVED FROM SUCH COMING FISCAL YEAR.
[00:10:03]
IT'S INTERESTING IN SCORES AT QUARTILE 3, I THINK.YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE THIS IS DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO HOUSEHOLDS IN OUR [INAUDIBLE].
IF YOU COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
BREAKING DOWN SOME OF THOSE THREE CATEGORIES AND HOW THEY RELATE TO PRIORITY BASED BUDGETING.
YOU CAN SEE AGAIN, I JUST MENTIONED THIS, THE DIRECT RENTAL ASSISTANCE.
THESE ARE ADDITIONAL FUNDS COMING TO OUR HOUSING AUTHORITY, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE VOUCHER PROGRAM BETWEEN OUR PHYSICAL LOCATIONS, SKYLER HOMES, BRANDON HOMES, AND YOU MANAGE TO CLARK HOMES, WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF SCATTERED SITES.
THEN ALONG WITH ALL THE PURCHASE THAT WE MANAGED, WE HAVE CLOSE TO, I THINK, IT'S ABOUT 880 UNITS THAT WERE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN FROM THE HOUSE OF AUTHORITY.
THAT MEANS THOSE HOUSEHOLDS PAY NO MORE THAN 30 PERCENT OF THEIR INCOME.
THE BALANCE IS PAID BY HUD EITHER THROUGH OUR PHYSICAL LOCATIONS OR THROUGH THE VOUCHERS.
OTHER SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING UNIT CREATION, WHICH I'M GOING TO GET INTO LITTLE MORE DETAIL IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES.
YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM.
THIS IS OUR ADMINISTRATIVE FEE.
I THINK THERE WAS A QUESTION ON THIS THE OTHER NIGHT.
THIS HELPS COVER OUR COST AND SUPPORT THOSE PROGRAMS, TO TAKE THOSE FUNDS IN OUR TARGETED NEIGHBORHOODS.
OUR CODE, I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE IT'S ASPIRATIONAL, BUT ALSO REQUIRE A LOT THROUGH OUR ASPIRATIONS.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU, WE WERE VERY PROUD OF THE PROJECTS THAT COMES REFLECTS [INAUDIBLE].
THIS FUNDING IS ACTUALLY, I BELIEVE, SPLIT BETWEEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY.
BOTH OF THOSE, COMMISSIONERS HAVE COME UP WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO REALLY REVIEW OUR STYLING CODE, TOP TO BOTTOM, TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO THE ACT OF DIFFERENT BOTH IN HOUSING OTHER PROJECTS IN FLAGSTAFF.
THE FINAL BUDGET HERE IS OUR PLAN PERMIT AND PROJECT REVIEW.
AGAIN, THIS IS PRIMARILY SETTING UP FOR THIRD-PARTY PLAN REVIEW.
A LOT OF DIVISIONS, WE'VE STRUGGLED WITH STAFFING.
LIKE I SAID, I THINK WE'RE STRONGER THAN EVER.
WE'RE CONTINUALLY FILLING UP POSITIONS, WE'VE GOTTEN CREDIBLE PEOPLE.
AT OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT, WE'VE JUST HAD THREE INSPECTORS LEAVE FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, RETIREMENT AND OTHER THINGS, AND SO OUR RELIEF OUT IS USING OUTSIDE PLAN REVIEWS, SO THIRD-PARTY PLAN REVIEW.
LET'S GET INTO SOME SPECIFIC FOR THEM.
SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING IN OUR RELATED TO THE KEY COMMUNITY PRIORITIES.
LAST YEAR WE LAUNCHED AN ASSISTANCE ACCESSIBLE PORTAL.
THIS IS REALLY WHAT ALLOWED US TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST TWO YEARS IT WAS EMAIL [INAUDIBLE].
SHE'S DONE AN AMAZING JOB. SHE [INAUDIBLE] SOLE PARTNER.
BUT DURING THAT TIME, WE'VE EVENTUALLY GOT THE PORTAL OPEN, SO THIS IS OUR PRIMARY WAY THAT FOLKS AND ANNOUNCER ARE GETTING ALL OF OUR APPLICATIONS, BUILDING PERMITS, SUPPLY SEGMENTS.
WE DON'T HAVE NEARLY THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AT OUR FRONT CORNER, AND THAT'S THE ATTENDANT PORTAL.
ROAMING TOOL. AT SOME POINT, WE WILL HAVE THE ABILITY FOR OUR APPLICANTS TO GO IN AND ACTUALLY CHECK ON THE STATUS OF DEPARTMENTS.
I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT. IT SEEMS QUITE CONVENIENT WITH COVID TO HAD HAVE HAD THIS PORTAL.
WHAT THAT TIME DESIGNED OR WAS IT JUST CIRCUMSTANTIAL? NO, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN PART OF OUR HARRIS PACKAGE FOR COMDATA.
WE STARTED ROLLING OUT COMDATA IN 2014,2015.
THERE'S SOME TECHNICAL REASONS WHY IT WASN'T A WHOLE LOT SOONER, BUT IT'S ALWAYS PART OF [INAUDIBLE] HARRIS TOOL.
BUT YEAH, THE TIMING, IT JUST FORCED US TO JUST DO IT, WHICH IS JUST GOOD, I'LL BE HONEST [INAUDIBLE] TO PLUG IT IN.
I MENTIONED CONTRACT SERVICES EARLIER.
THESE ARE ALL KEY TO OUR HIGH PERFORMING GOVERNANCE.
THE SAFE AND HEALTHY COMMUNITIES IS SO PROUD OF OUR BUILDINGS SAFETY CODE COMPLIANCE PROGRAM.
WE BROUGHT CODE COMPLIANCE MOVE INTO THE BUILDING SAFETY PROGRAM TWO YEARS AGO.
IN THIS RECOMMENDED BUDGET, WE'RE ELEVATING THIS PROGRAM TO A SECTION, WHICH I THINK IT'S REALLY APPROPRIATE.
IT'S BEEN SO GOOD TO HAVE OUR CODE COMPLIANCE TEAM WORKING WITH OUR BUILDING INSPECTORS. IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL.
THEY'VE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY RELOCATED THEM UPSTAIRS TO THE SECOND FLOOR, REGGIE AND HIS TEAM, END UP DOING AMAZING WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
INCLUSIVE AND ENGAGED COMMUNITY.
OBVIOUSLY, THE REGIONAL PLAN UPDATE IS PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST TASK FOR OUR LONG-RANGE PLANNING TEAM AND UPDATED EVERY 10 YEARS, WAS RATIFIED IN 2014 BY THE VOTERS AFTER ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL THAT TIME, SO WE'LL BE DELIVERING AN UPDATED REGIONAL PLAN IN 2014, JUST LOST SUPPORT FOR THAT IN THIS YEARS BUDGET.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE ASKED FOR IN STANDALONE.
A BIG PART OF THE REGIONAL PLANNING HAS BEEN FUNDING THIS YEAR IS OUR FACILITATION IN OUR SCENARIO, WHICH IS MODELING OF DIFFERENT [INAUDIBLE] STEROIDS.
BUT FACILITATION SERVICES, WHAT HAPPENS IS THERE'S A NEED FOR FACILITATION WHEN THINGS THAT COME UP THAT WE HAVEN'T PLANNED FOR.
[00:15:02]
SARAH DETECTORS ARE K2 PROFESSIONAL INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROFESSIONALS [INAUDIBLE] IN THERE.SO SHE'S BEEN ASKED TO HELP OUT WITH DIFFERENT PROCESSES AND SO WE ASKED FOR SOME FUNDING FOR UNANTICIPATED FACILITATION NEEDS.
WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT FOR THAT. NEXT SLIDE.
SURE JUST GOING BACK TO THE CITIZEN ACCESS PORTAL IS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, TO THE PUBLIC, OR JUST THE APPLICANT? THAT'S ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE WHO NECESSARILY AN APPLICATION, SO IT'S INTENDED FOR APPLICATIONS.
YOU REGISTER AS A USER, YOU SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION.
IT'S NOT REALLY INTENDED AS SOMETHING FOR THE PUBLIC'S LOG IN AND SEE WHAT'S IN FLAGSTAFF.
IT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR ROUNDING AND PROCESSING DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS.
ITS MORE LIKE INTERNAL ORACLE WITH PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE APPLICANT.
IT'S AN EXTERNAL PORTAL SO PEOPLE GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND YOU LOGIN TO OUR WEBSITE AND YOU SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION THROUGH THE WEBSITE.
THIS CAN BE IMPROVED IN THEIR INTERFACE BUSINESS ONCE THAT.
I WOULD SAY IT'S DEFINITELY PART OF CENTER OR ONE STOP SHOP.
YES. I KNOW THE LAST CONCEPT HAS A LOT TO DO IN BUSINESS LICENSING AS WELL AND NEW BUSINESSES, WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO OPEN THEIR STAFF AND SO THEY NEEDED A BUILDING PERMANENT AND WE'D USE REMODELING OR CONSTRUCTION.
>> ONE OF THE INTENT OF THE BOSS IS TO BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THE APPLICATION WHERE IT STANDS AND IF IT'S UNDER REVIEW BY THE BUILDING PERMIT OR FIRE OR SOMETHING.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT IS PART OF THE PORTAL.
IT'S NOT ACTUALLY ACTIVE YET, THAT FEATURE.
IT'S JUST TO LET APPLICANTS COME IN AND SEE WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THEIR APPLICATION, BUT THAT'S PART OF THE TOOL.
IT'S NOT GOING TO TRACK BUSINESS LICENSES.
WE'VE NOT INTEGRATED THAT INTO THIS PORTAL YET, BUT IT'S MAYBE SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT.
>> [INAUDIBLE] IN TERMS OF THE BOSS PROGRAM.
WE FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING WE DO IN COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT REALLY RELATES TO THIS ONE, HAVING A LIVABLE COMMUNITY.
OUR REAL ESTATE SERVICES WITH ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT LIVES IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT MUCH.
THAT'S PROGRAMMED TOO [INAUDIBLE] FIRE, THE SUPPORT ON CAPITAL PROGRAM.
BRYCE AND CARMEN WORK ON ACQUISITIONS FOR REAL FLIGHT FLOOD CONTROL, [INAUDIBLE].
THEY SUPPORT PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT [INAUDIBLE] TO GET THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENTS FOR UTILITIES THAT SIT ON PRIVATE LAND.
THEY ALSO MANAGE OUR PROPERTIES, SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF [INAUDIBLE] FOR SOME OF OUR PROPERTIES, GET SOME OF THE TECHNICAL [INAUDIBLE].
EVENTUALLY, THE REGIONAL PLAN UPDATE SCENARIO PLANNING, THAT'S IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.
THE HOUSING EMERGENCY IS FUNDED GENERAL DOLLARS TO HELP ADDRESS THE HOUSING EMERGENCY.
WE'RE VERY AWARE OF THE 10-YEAR HOUSING PLANS.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE GETTING IMPLEMENTATION.
I MENTIONED THIS EARLIER, THE REVIEW OF THE CODES.
THAT'S BEEN FUNDED ALONG WITH SUSTAINABILITY.
WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS THERE'S A NUMBER OF EFFORTS THAT ARE GOING TO CONVERGE HERE AT THE SAME TIME.
[INAUDIBLE] REPORTING OUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL [INAUDIBLE] LAST YEAR.
WE'VE HAD THIS WORK OF THE HOUSING COMMISSION, WORK WITH THE SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION.
THEY BOTH RECOMMENDED LET'S REVIEW OUR CODES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCIES AND PROCESS AND ENVIRONMENTS THAT CAN ADDRESS THE COST OF HOUSING.
WE ALSO DID A REVIEW OF OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCENTIVES.
ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE CONVERGING TOGETHER AND I SEE THIS FUNDING, REVIEW THE CODES THAT TRUSTING ALL OF THOSE NEEDS.
THE TIME IS WORKING OUT JUST RIGHT.
WE'VE GOT SOME DIRECT PROGRAMS THAT ARE BEING SUPPORTED; THE COMMUNITY HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, THE EMPLOYER ASSISTED HOUSING PROGRAM.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT HELP HOUSEHOLDS WITH DOWN-PAYMENT ASSISTANCE WITH BUYING INTO A LOAN.
I CAN TELL YOU I PRESENTED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR AT STAKE CONFERENCES ON OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPER INCENTIVES.
PEOPLE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN IT.
SURPRISINGLY, NOT MANY COMMUNITIES ARE REASONING THROUGH IT.
WE'VE HAD OUR FORMAL INCENTIVE POLICY IN PLACE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, SO WE'RE ASSESSING HOW THAT HAS BEEN.
ACTUALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED, I THINK IT'S A SUCCESS.
THEN I'VE MENTIONED OUR FLAGSTAFF HOUSING AUTHORITY.
SHE HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB OF THE HOUSING SECTION.
IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO THE HAZARD AUTHORITY AND HOUSING PROGRAMS WERE SEPARATE.
UNDER SARAH'S LEADERSHIP, THERE WERE BROUGHT TOGETHER AS ONE DIVISION A FEW YEARS AGO.
[00:20:03]
SHE JUST LINKED COMPLETED A REORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY.LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT HOUSING AUTHORITIES.
IT'S NOT EASY TO OPERATE A HOUSING AUTHORITY.
THEY'RE AN AMAZING HOUSING AUTHORITY, THEY ARE EFFECTIVE, THEY'RE RATED VERY HIGH ALL THE TIME.
I'M SURE WE WOULD GET SOME AWARDS IF THEY WERE OUT THERE FOR HOUSING AUTHORITIES, BUT I THINK ONE OF THE REFLECTIONS OF THE HELP IS THAT WE CONTINUALLY ARE OFFERED NEW VOUCHERS FOR SPECIFIC PROGRAMS AND TARGET POPULATIONS; VETERANS, PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
IT'S JUST AMAZING WORK THAT TEAM AND [INAUDIBLE]
>> I HAVE A QUESTION. I'M NOT SO SURE IF IT'S QUESTIONABLE MORAL OR IMMORAL, BUT TELEGRAPHING [INAUDIBLE].
I'LL BE SPECIFIC HERE, BUT FEEL FREE TO ADD [INAUDIBLE] AS WELL.
WE RECENTLY MOVED FORWARD FOR ITEM 2, [INAUDIBLE] FOR POTENTIAL TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT THAT.
I GUESS BUDGET FOR THAT, HOW YOU FIND FLEXIBILITY WITH THE PROCESS.
WE KNOW SOME THINGS ON THE HORIZON, IT DOESN'T PASS THROUGH EVERYTHING.
YOU WANT TO JUMP ON, BUT THEN YOU'D NORMALLY DO PASS [INAUDIBLE] YOU CAN'T BUDGET FOR THAT.
[OVERLAPPING] CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT?
>> SURE. OF COURSE. WE HAD A PROJECT FEW YEARS AGO, WE CALL IT OUR SCATTERED SITE PROJECT AND THAT WAS WE WENT OUT AND SOUGHT PARTNER.
THIS PARCEL YOU REFERRED TO ABOUT NUMBER 8 THERE, THE SUNFLOWER FIELD, THAT WAS PART OF [INAUDIBLE] WE WERE LOOKING FOR A PARTNER TO BRING THEIR PRIVATE EQUITY WITH OUR RESOURCE, WHICH IS THE PROPERTY AND THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE DONE TO THAT PROPERTY, TO BUILD A PARTNERSHIP TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE HOUSING.
ESTABLISHED THE APPROACH WE TOOK ON THAT PARCEL ORIGINALLY, WE JUST REMOVED FROM THAT SCATTERED SITE PROJECT.
ULTIMATELY, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE THE PARTNER HAD TO PULL OUT.
BASICALLY THEIR COSTS EXCEEDED WHAT THEIR BUDGET ESTIMATES, SO UNFORTUNATE.
THAT WOULD BE ONE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PARCEL, IS GETTING THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PARTNER.
WE ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT SITUATION NOW.
WE'VE GOT, I ALWAYS STRUGGLE WITH THIS ACRONYM, THE RAD, THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE DEMONSTRATION, WHICH IS TO MOVE OUR HOUSING AUTHORITY OUT OF TRADITIONAL MODEL.
WE LOOK AT ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES AND ASSETS.
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A PARTNER THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCESS AND THAT MAY BE ONE WAY TO DEVELOP THAT PROPERTY AND ALSO THAT RAD PARTNER.
A LARGER DEPTH OF SPECIFICATION, GET OUR CONTRIBUTIONS OF PROPERTY, BRING THE PRIVATE EQUITY.
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE PARCELS IN PLAY FOR RAD.
WE'RE WORKING ON THE BUSINESS.
IT WAS A PRE-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
I BELIEVE NOW WE'RE JUST CALLING IT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
[OVERLAPPING] I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY OUR BEST OPPORTUNITY TO REDEVELOP THAT PROPERTY AT THIS POINT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SARAH? TO DEVELOPMENT? [OVERLAPPING] [BACKGROUND]
>> REMEMBER, YOUR BID IS OVER.
[LAUGHTER] WE'RE NOT A DEVELOPER NOR SHOULD WE BE.
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO FIND OUT THAT WE DON'T DO REALLY ANYTHING AS A MUNICIPALITY WITHOUT A PARTNER.
EITHER ANOTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITY OR IN THE CASE OF DEVELOPMENT OF A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PARTNER, BRINGING THE DAMAGE CALLED PRIVATE EQUITY TO THE TABLE.
THE VISION FOR THAT PROPERTY WAS ALWAYS TO HAVE A PARTNER TO DEVELOP IT, TO CONTAIN THE LAND UNDERNEATH IT.
IT WAS FIRST VISUALIZED FOR TOWNHOMES WITHIN THE LAND TRUST FOR GROUND, AND SO OUR PIECES TO LAND, AND IT IS SOMEONE ELSE BRINGING THE FUNDING TO THE TABLE.
IF YOUR QUESTION WAS PLAYED INTO HOW DO WE BUDGET FOR THAT, RIGHT NOW IN THE PLACE OF STAFF, SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE WOULD WE DO A SOLICITATION FOR THAT PRODUCT ALONE OR A COUPLE WITH OTHERS WHO WE SEEK TO PARTNER WITH IN ORDER TO CREATE THOSE HOUSING.
>> I IMAGINED THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENT EVERY DEPARTMENT DEALS WITH.
BY STATE LAW WE CAN'T SPEND MONEY THAT WE HAD A BUDGET WITH AND THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, BUT WE MIGHT BE ANTICIPATING BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD ON SOMETHING.
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING SO URGENT AS OUR HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IS.
IT WOULD JUST BEEN ENFORCEMENT TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE.
[00:25:03]
ON FULL TRIGGER, CERTAIN THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW, THEY MIGHT BE COMING.THAT'S NOT A PRETTY TOUGH PARTICULAR TOTAL, IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE'RE ABLE TO RESPOND TO.
WANTED TO GIVE A VOICE TO THE BODIES.
>> IS A DECENT QUESTION AND I THINK THAT THE PIECE HERE WE'RE HAVING TO GET KUDOS TO THE BUDGET TEAM, IS THAT THEY'VE ALLOCATED MONEY TOWARDS HOUSING THIS YEAR.
FRIDAY MORNING NOT CAFFEINATED ENOUGH [LAUGHTER].
NOT SPECIFIC SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO RESPOND FOR OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME OUT TO OUR HOUSING, SEE.
FOR THAT WOULD GIVE US A DIFFERENT DEGREE OF NIMBLENESS THAT WE'D NEVER REALLY EXPERIENCED BEFORE TO HAVE THAT DEGREE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT MEANS AFTER HAVING COMPACTED, TEACH THEM SOME STUDY, YOU HAVE ABOUT 2.5 MINUTES LEFT.
>> THEY'VE GOT ONE MORE SLIDE. THANKS FOR QUESTION [INAUDIBLE] THERE'S ANOTHER NEW FUNDING REQUEST THAT HAS BEEN FUNDED FOR LAND AVAILABILITY AND SUITABILITY ASSESSMENT CENTER, ROBUST AND RESILIENT ECONOMY.
THIS IS A REQUEST THAT ACTUALLY CAME FROM OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR, SHANON PELTIER.
AS WE'RE TALKING WITH OUR PARTNERS, INTERNAL PARTNERS, SUSTAINABILITY, HOUSING, ECONOMIC VITALITY, HOW ARE WE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT'S IN HIS PLANS? HOW ARE WE GOING TO MEET THE TARGETS OF THE TENURE HOUSING PLAN, STANDING BUILDING PLAN? DO WE HAVE THE LAND AVAILABILITY AND SUITABILITY? THAT'S ONLY REQUIRED.
RECENTLY CAME UP WITH ECONOMIC VITALITY OF RELOCATION OF BATCH PLANT.
WE STARTED WITHIN OUR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ZONAL.
THE TREND IS MORE TOWARDS HOUSING AND RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS, BUT WE NEEDED TO MAINTAIN SOME INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY AS WELL.
THAT'S BEING SUPPORTING THE BUDGET TO DO THAT STUDY ON THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, THEN ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP SUB-PRODUCT ARE DARK SKY SPECIALISTS THAT SHARE POSITION WITH THE COUNTY, SUPPORTED AGAIN IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, IT'S BEEN A GREAT SUCCESS.
JANICE HAWKE IS OUR CURRENT DARK SKY SPECIALIST.
THEN I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING WE DO WITH OUR ZONING AND BUILDING CODES WORK SPORTS DEPARTMENTS, WHICH SHOULDN'T.
WE HAVE THINGS ON RESOURCE PROTECTION AND IMPLEMENT LOW-IMPACT DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS LID, WHICH IS STORM WATER OUT ZONING CODE, BUT AGAIN, THROUGHOUT THE REVIEW PROCESS OR LIGHTING CODE, G-CODE, ALL THOSE GREAT THINGS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. HAPPY ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. THE TIME LEFT.
>> BUT THE QUESTION THIS TIME ABOUT DARK SKIES AND [INAUDIBLE] THERE.
WAS THAT FULLY FUNDED PROFESSOR?
>> YES. IT IS FULLY FUNDED AND WE'RE WORKING ON A GRANT RIGHT NOW.
WHICH HAS PUT ME INTO COUNTY, ON AT SOME POINT WE NEED TO ASSURE YOU THE APP THAT'S BEEN DEVELOPED.
PART OF THAT GRANT IS TO DEVELOP A SCHOOL, TO GO OUT INTO THE FIELD AND IDENTIFY NON-PERFORMING LIGHTING AS WELL AS NEW MATERIAL PROMOTING DARK SKIES.
AS A BIG PART OF THIS POSITION AS WELL IS TO BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR OUR DARK SKY PROGRAM, SO THEY'VE ALSO DEVELOPED NEW MATERIALS AND DISTRIBUTED TO COMMUNITY, GOT A MAJOR CODE AMENDMENT COMING UP BY NAME, JUST NOW COME UP TO LIGHT POLLUTION STUDY ENABLED SERVICES BEFORE I DID, FEW YEARS AGO.
THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING TO YOU I THINK STILL THIS CALENDAR YEAR, SO BIG AMENDMENT.
TALK ABOUT TWO YEARS OF OUR LIGHTING, ALL OF OUR DARK SKY PARTNERS.
>> SIR. THEN I JUST WANT TO SAY TO YOU AND SAME MANAGER, I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE INVESTMENT IN HOUSING. IT'S INCREDIBLE.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE WE'RE TAKING THIS EMERGENCY SERIOUSLY [INAUDIBLE]
>> [INAUDIBLE] AND UP NEXT WE HAVE PUBLIC WORKS, SCOTT OVERTON [APPLAUSE].
JUST A REQUEST IF IT'S POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK?
>> IS THAT, SO WE HAVE DIVIDED FOR EACH OF OUR PRESENTATIONS 15 MINUTES, AND SO IF IT'S POSSIBLE [OVERLAPPING] TO HAVE THEM SHARE THEIR PRESENTATION AND THEN WE HAVE THE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AT THE END.
UNLESS IT'S NECESSARY TO ASK MIDWAY BECAUSE SOMETHING'S NOT MAKING SENSE, WE NEED SOME CLARIFICATION, EACH PERSON AT THE END WILL ASK ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.
IF WE ARE ABLE TO HOLD THEM TO THAT TIME THAT WILL BE GOOD. TAKE IT AWAY SCOTT
>> THANK YOU. MORNING MAYOR AND COUNCILS, GOT OVER TO THE SERVING THIS PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN ON THIS FRIDAY MORNING.
COUPLE OF THINGS COMING FROM PUBLIC WORKS, STATE'S PRETTY GOOD AT PUBLIC WORKS RIGHT NOW IN MY OPINION, AND I JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY THANK GREG AND SHANNON FOR THEIR SUPPORT.
[00:30:01]
CLEARLY, WE'VE HAD SOME TRANSITION IN PUBLIC WORKS IN THE LAST SIX OR EIGHT MONTHS.THANK YOU, ANDY, FOR THIRDLY SERVING A WATER SERVICES ROLE, BUT FOR THE MENTORSHIP TO ME IN MY PRIOR ROLE AT THE STREET, AS THE STREETS DIRECTOR AND THEN OF COURSE, THE CONFIDENCE AND SUPPORT AS I'VE TRANSITIONED TO SERVE AS PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR CAPACITY, AND THEN ALSO TO REBECCA.
SHE USED TO BE A STRONG FAMILY MEMBER OF OURS OUT PUBLIC WORKS.
THEN [LAUGHTER]SHE HAS BEEN AWAY FROM HOME, SO HARD THAT HE DIDN'T SHRUNK BY ABOUT A 100 PEOPLE, WHICH WASN'T NECESSARILY A BAD THING [LAUGHTER] BUT WE MISSED HER AND OF COURSE SHE'S INDIRECT CONTACT.
HER ENTIRE TEAM THEY WORK VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER BUT WE WISH HER THE BEST SUCCESS.
BUT FOR PUBLIC WORKS, THAT WAS A BIG CHANGE.
BIG CHANGE MOVING AWAY FROM TWO REALLY DISTINCT DIVISIONS NOW USED TO BE THE VERY, VERY LARGE GROUP, AND I THINK IT MADE A LOT OF SENSE AND I DO CREDIT GREG AND SHANNON SUPPORT FOR THINKING THROUGH LOGICALLY HOW THESE PROGRAMS LOOK.
I THINK THE HEALTH OF PUBLIC WORKS WAS STRONG.
IT WAS A GOOD ORGANIZATIONAL MOVES.
IT'S ALLOWED US TO MOVE INTO SOME MORE FOCUSED EFFORTS THAT ARE TRULY PROBABLY MORE PUBLIC WORKS FOCUSED.
WITH 108 NOW EMPLOYEES IN THE GROUP, WE DO HAVE SOME VACANCIES.
WE TREND RIGHT NOW BETWEEN 25 AND 30 PERCENT VACANT, SO OUT OF THOSE 108 POSITIONS, WE'RE DOWN ABOUT 25 TO 30 POSITIONS AND IT'S GOING UP AND DOWN, BUT WE'VE BEEN GETTING BETTER APPLICANT POOLS.
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO SOME OF THAT THINGS ARE SUCCESSFUL FOR THAT BUT GOOD GROUP.
WE HAVE STREETS LED BY SAM BECKETT, WHO WE HAVE ALL MET BY NOW, SOLID WASTES LED BY TODD HANSEN.
WE HAVE OUR FLEET PROGRAM WHICH IS LED BY GREG CONLIN.
FACILITIES, HAS BEEN A VACANCY.
WE HAVE A RETIREMENT EARLIER THIS YEAR OF CRAIG SMITH, SO THAT'S STILL VACANT, BUT WE ARE GETTING CLOSER WITH CANDIDATE POOLS AND HOPEFULLY A GOOD PERSON TO FILL THAT ROLE AS OUR SUPERINTENDENT.
THEN WE HAVE ONE PROJECT MANAGER, ADAM ALI, IN OUR ENGINEERING GROUP.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT BEFORE WE GET TO THE NUMBERS THAT LAST YEAR, IN FACT, WE SPENT EIGHT WEEKS IN STORM RESPONSE, AND THAT WAS IN DIRECT RELATIONSHIPS WITH MUSEUM FLOOD RESPONSE.
YOU ARE KIND ENOUGH TWO YEARS AGO TO REALLY CREATE MORE ROBUST EFFORTS AND A LOT OF OUR PROGRAMS SUCH AS SIGNS AND MARKINGS, AND THEN LAST YEAR WE LOST GROUND, BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE FROM THAT DIVISION WAS ASSIGNED TO FLOOD RESPONSE.
IT'S BECOME A VERY BIG PROGRAM, BECOME A VERY BIG PIECE, AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS A NATURAL DISASTER, IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE AND USE NOW STARTING OUR PLANNING EFFORTS.
I THINK WE'RE DOING BETTER AT IT BEING MORE EFFICIENT, BUT WE HAVE TO START REALLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO RESPOND EACH AND EVERY SUMMER UNTIL WE SEE SOME OF THESE, MID AND LONG-TERM MITIGATIONS PUT INTO PLACE WITH OUR OPERATIONAL WATER SERVICE PARTNERS AND STORM WATER.
YESTERDAY YOU LEARNED ABOUT SOME FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT.
WE LEARNED ABOUT THEM YESTERDAY.
THIS WAS SPECIFIC TO THE STACEY DECAY DOLLARS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE DFFM FUNDING, DEPARTMENT OF FIRE FOREST MANAGEMENT.
YOU SAW SOME LOADERS, YOU SAW SOME NEW STREET SWEEPER, YOU SAW SOME TRAFFIC CONTROL EQUIPMENT.
THESE ARE ALL LEVERAGED FUNDS THAT WE FOUND OUTSIDE OF OUR FUNDING THAT WE TRADITIONALLY USED.
WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE IF WE HAD HAVE TO GO BY ANOTHER LOADER IT JUST COMES RIGHT OUT OF SOME OTHER FUNDS OR WE HAVE OTHER NEEDS.
GOVERNOR DO SEE IN THE DFFM GROUP THAT HAVE BEEN VERY, VERY KIND LIKE STAFF.
THEY FELT WATER SERVICES, BUT THE NUMBER OF PIECES OF EQUIPMENT FOR UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE, IT HELPED US FOR CHANNEL MAINTENANCE AND FOR TRACTOR EQUIPMENT, STREET SWEEPER EQUIPMENT, TRAFFIC CONTROL, ALL THE THINGS RELATED TO THAT RESPONSE.
WE'VE NOW RECEIVED AN AWARD FOR THIS COMING SEASON, FOR BUYING UP SOME OF THOSE PREPARATION MATERIALS, THE SAND BAGS, OR HIRING UP CREWS TO HELP US WITH THAT EFFORT.
REALLY GOOD. I HIGHLIGHTED YESTERDAY SOME GOOD IMAGES I THINK THAT EXPLAINED WELL SOME OF THE FIRST PILOT FUNDS THAT WE WON'T SPEAK TO IN THIS PORTION.
YOU CAN SEE WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED MORE THAN WE REQUESTED [LAUGHTER] AND THAT'S BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT THE BUDGET TEAM ALLOCATED AS RECOGNIZED RESOURCES THEY'D LIKE TO PUSH IN THAT DIRECTION.
IF I CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, I'D LIKE TO HIT THE THREE BIG ONES AND THEN I WILL CLOSE OUT WITH WHAT THE WORK PROGRAM FOR EACH PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE.
HIGHLIGHTING THOROUGHLY EMERGENCY BUILDING REPAIRS.
IT LANDED HERE BECAUSE OF HIGH QUARTILE SCORE BUT IT'S A $500,000 ALLOCATION.
IT'S JUST SIMPLY EARMARKED FOR OUR USGS CAMPUS IN THE INVENT THERE IS A MAJOR ROOF FAILURE THERE OR MAYBE WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A BUILDING THAT WE'RE NOT AWARE OF BECAUSE WE'RE IN A HOLDING PATTERN ON REDEVELOPMENT AT THAT SITE.
[00:35:04]
THE BUDGET TEAM HAS ALLOCATED 500,000 TO JUST SIT THERE IN CASE WE NEED IT.WE DID DO A ROBUST REQUEST FROM THE FACILITY'S PERSPECTIVE OF 355,000 WITH ADDITIONAL PROJECTS WHICH I'LL SPEAK TO IN A MOMENT, AND THAT WAS APPROVED.
THEN PUBLIC WORK SAFETY, THIS WAS THE CATEGORY.
THIS IS ACTUALLY TWO NEW POSITIONS.
I WILL NOW JUST SIMPLY TALK ABOUT EACH SECTION AND PROGRAM INTEGRAL.
I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU THAT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT COMING FROM THIS BUDGET CYCLE WE'RE MOST PLEASED ABOUT.
ONE, THE COMPENSATION CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE COME ACROSS ARE THE CHALLENGES THAT HAVE BEEN NOW TURNED IN SOLUTIONS, WHICH WE SAW YESTERDAY, SHOULD BE FAIRLY IMPACTFUL TO OUR ENTRY LEVEL EMPLOYEES IN PARTICULAR, OUR OPERATORS, OUR TECHNICIANS, WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
A LOT OF THAT BIG NUMBER IS COMPENSATION RELATED BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR EMPLOYEES STARTING OUT IN OUR GROUP, OF COURSE, ARE IMPACTED GREATLY IN THE LOWER RANGES SO WE ARE WELCOME AND WE REALLY DO LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE MATCHES.
OUR EAC REPRESENTATIVES SHARED WITH YOU YESTERDAY, WE HAVE SIMILAR THOUGHTS THAT ALL GOOD NEWS ON THAT FRONT WERE APPRECIATED.
WE HAVE TWO NEW POSITIONS THAT WE'VE ASKED FOR AND HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PENDING YOUR APPROVAL.
ONE IS A BUSINESS SYSTEMS ANALYST FOR PUBLIC WORKS.
WE'VE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THIS FOR A COUPLE YEARS BUT IT GOT MORE FOCUSED IN THE LAST EIGHT OR TEN MONTHS.
WE HAVE ONE ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST BUT WE HAVE LOTS OF SOFTWARE AND LOTS OF ASSETS AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, AND ROADS SCORES, AND BUILDINGS, AND FLEET, AND WE REALLY HAVE FOUND THAT OUR SOFTWARE AND OUR BUSINESS SYSTEMS REALLY NEEDS SOME DIRECT ATTENTION.
WHEN WE GET PULLED AWAY TO MAYBE STORM RESPONSE OR TO THE DAILY OPERATIONS, THIS WORKS SLIPS.
WE REALLY ARE AT A PLACE WHERE IT HAS BEEN EXCELLENT TO TRY TO FOCUS IN ON SOME OF THOSE BUSINESS SYSTEMS THAT ALLOW US TO RUN MORE EFFICIENTLY, MORE EFFECTIVELY, TO TRY TO FIND THE BEST VALUE OUT OF EVERY PROGRAM.
WE'RE EXCITED TO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT POSITION AND REALLY MAKE SURE ALL OF THOSE ARE SPEAKING TO EACH OTHER AND MATCH EACH OTHER WELL.
THE SECOND POSITION THAT WE ARE ADDING AS A PROJECT MANAGER, ADAM YALE IS OUR ONE PROJECT MANAGER, WE'RE GOING TO DOUBLE THE ROOF SIZE BUT IT IS REALLY OUT OF OUR RESULTS, MUSEUM PROJECT DELIVERY, ROTOR GROCERIES SAFETY STILL CONTINUES TO BE A STRONG PROGRAM, AND THEN FACILITIES.
THAT $350,000 IS ABOVE AND BEYOND OUR FACE AMOUNT OF ABOUT 265,000.
WE HAVE A MILLION SQUARE FEET, WE HAVE A 140 BUILDINGS IN THE INVENTORY, HOW DO WE REALLY START ADDRESSING PROJECTS? WE CAN IDENTIFY FUNDING FOR SOME OF THESE PROJECTS BUT THE DELIVERY PIECE IS MORE DIFFICULT ON CAPITAL RENEWAL.
THAT SECOND PROJECT MANAGER WHICH WILL BE ASSIGNED BASED ON TALENTS AND BASED ON BEST PROGRAM FIT BUT IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO PUT THAT PERSON ON MORE OF OUR HORIZONTAL MAINTENANCE SUCH AS OUR ROAD AND REIMBURSEMENT SAFETY PROGRAM OR IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO PUT THAT PERSON ALSO TO MORE VERTICAL PROJECTS IN THE FACILITY SIDE.
AS WE LOOK TO THAT PERSON, WE'LL WORK THAT OUT WITH ADAM AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A GOOD FIT.
BUT TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE AND REALLY START RAMPING UP OUR PROGRAM DELIVERY, THAT IS A BIG ONE FOR US.
ON THE STREET SIDE EVERYTHING IS RUNNING WELL.
SAM BECKETT PICKED UP WHERE I LEFT OFF AND HAS DONE WELL FOR, THANK YOU FOR THE NEXT SLIDE, FOR ABOUT THE LAST SIX MONTHS.
CLEARLY, HE HAS A BACKGROUND IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, THAT'S PUBLIC WORKS REPAIRS FOR SOME OF OUR RESPONSE, BUT HE ALSO UNDERSTANDS STREETS VERY WELL.
HE'S BEEN CONTINUING WITH OUR RENEWAL PROGRAM FOR FLEET.
HE'S STILL WORKING ON RASCAL PAYMENT PROGRAMS, WE'VE THOROUGHLY WORKED ON A SEPARATED BIKE LANE PROJECT AND SUPPORTED THE MAINTENANCE OF THAT SIDE OF THE PROGRAM, AND LOTS OF THINGS ARE MOVING WELL ON THE STREET SIDE.
SOLID WASTE, A COUPLE OF POINT OUT HERE.
WE ARE NOW IN THE INJURY STARTING POINT WITH THE CONSULTANT TO LOOK AT THE TRANSITION FOR THE MIRTH.
REMEMBER, IT WILL CLOSE DOWN IN 23 AS AN ACTIVE SORTING FACILITY.
IT'S BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR AWHILE, TOT'S BENCH TELL TO YOU.
IT WILL TRANSFER OR BE CONVERTED TO A TRANSFER STATION.
THE DETAILS WILL BE COMING TO YOU IN THIS NEXT YEAR, AND THAT IS A PROGRAM THAT IS REALLY SHAPING UP TO LOOK VERY WELL.
WE CLEARLY ARE INTENSIVE GROUP THAT HAS VEHICLES.
WE'VE LOOKED AT ALL ELECTRIFICATION OPTIONS.
WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CLEAN MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE AND WE'RE IN KHAN ONE'S GROUP.
I THINK WE IN PUBLIC WORKS MIGHT BE THE FIRST GROUP TO GET THEIR FIRST GENERATION OF ELECTRIC MEDIUM AND LIGHT DUTY PICKUPS IN THE FLEET.
WE HAVE, I BELIEVE, IT'S EITHER FOUR AND NOW FIVE TENETS OF LEON WHOLE AS SOON AS THEY'RE IN PRODUCTION AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO THOSE.
THAT WILL BE EXCITING, WE'RE GOING TO TRY THOSE OUT AT SUPERVISOR LEVEL,
[00:40:03]
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEM INTO EMERGENCY RESPONSE.THE BUDGET TEAM HAS SUPPORTED THOSE FAST CHARGE STATIONS FOR OUR REASONS, FOR OUR PURPOSES.
WE CAN HAVE THAT PUBLIC WORKS.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY IT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT DURING THE SNOW SHIFT AND SEE HOW IT WORKS.
WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU WITH GOOD FEEDBACK OR POOR FEEDBACK OR HOW DO WE NEED TO CHANGE IT UP.
BUT FOLKS ALSO ARE EXCITED ABOUT TRYING OUT NEW TECHNOLOGY OUT AND WILL BE FIRST GENERATION STUFF.
ALSO AT THE LANDFILL WE HAVE SEQUENCE SAUDI.
WHEN YOU GET OUT THERE FOR A TOUR AT SOME POINT YOU'LL SEE IT'S A NEW HOLE IN THE GROUND BUT THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES IN THAT.
THE LINERS ARE NOW NEXT, THE ENVIRONMENTAL PREPARATIONS, THE PREPARATIONS RECEIVED MATERIAL IS NOW ON THEIR WAY WILL BE NEXT.
THIS YEAR WE ALSO WORKED ON THE LANDFILL ROAD AND THEN OUT IN THE WILD, PRETTY BAD SHAPE, IT'S FAIRLY OLD BUT IT'LL GET REALIGNED IN SOME OF THE CORNERS.
THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY.
THEY'VE DONE SOME COST SHARING WITH US AND THEY'VE BEEN GOOD PARTNERS AND WE WILL GET THAT LANDFILL ROAD DELIVERED THIS YEAR AS WE ARE WAITING ON OUR FINAL LEAP OF STUDY BUT WE DO EXPECT THAT ROAD TO BE DELIVERED THIS SEASON.
THEN ON THE FLEET SIDE, THEY CONTINUE WITH LOTS OF, I'M MINDFUL OF APOLLO ON THE SLIDES OR NOT.
I'M JUST GOING TO TREAT THE SAME. [LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND] I'VE HEARD OF THAT.
THANK YOU, WE'RE GOOD ON THAT SLIDE.
BUT IF WE GROUP THINGS LITERALLY OUT OVER 600 PIECES OF THE ROLLING STOCK.
YOU SAW A SHOT IN THE ADAM YESTERDAY, THEY SPOKE TO IT.
THE ONE TIME FUNDS TO PARKS, POLICE DEPARTMENTS, TO OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
THOSE FUNDS REALLY WERE A RESULT OF ALL THESE PARTNERS WORKING TOGETHER, RECOGNIZING OUR FLEET WAS SLIPPING IN TERMS OF TRYING TO KEEP IT UP WITH MAINTENANCE, SO THOSE ONETIME DOLLARS WILL HELP US GET CAUGHT UP WITH SOME OF THOSE FORMER DEFERRALS SUCH AS POLICE CARS OR FLEET GROUP.
WE'LL HOLD THAT EFFORT UP TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNITY INTERNAL PARTNER AND THEY GET WHAT THEY NEED AND WE CAN GET THAT BACKUP TO NOT NECESSARILY MORE VEHICLES, BUT TO OUR WORD, MEETING OUR BENCHMARKS ON THE MAINTENANCE SIDE.
FACILITIES IS REALLY GOOD NEWS.
WE'VE HAD JUST A CHURN OF A LOT OF CAPITAL RENEWAL PROJECTS.
WE HAVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS CITY WIDE BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO START EATING THIS APPLE ONE BITE AT A TIME.
WE'VE ESTABLISHED SO MANY ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT REALLY HELPS US SORT THROUGH AND PRIORITIZE DIFFERENT NEEDS OR DIFFERENT TENANTS OR DIFFERENT FACILITIES.
BUDGET TEAM HAS ALLOCATED SOME MORE MONIES TO THAT PROGRAMS SO THAT WE CAN DELIVER THAT.
THE PROJECT MANAGER HELPS DELIVER THOSE.
I SEE YOU'RE STANDING UP WHICH IS GOOD NEWS BECAUSE THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT WORK.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION. THANK YOU.
WITH THE STAFFING THINGS, BUT IT'S STILL NOT HOW THIS WORKS, WITH POSITIONS THAT ARE IN STAFF, WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE I MEAN, THAT'S [INAUDIBLE].
>> OUR PAYROLL FIND IS STILL FUNDED THAT WE HAVE THE FULL 108 PEOPLE BECAUSE IN A PERFECT WORLD WE HAVE 108 PEOPLE.
THOSE SALARY SAVINGS WILL MOVE AND OFTENTIMES THEY'LL STAY IN THAT FUND IF THERE ARE GENERAL FUND DON'T GO BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND INTO THE YEAR.
IF THEY'RE FUND WHICH IS BY THE WAY, YOU USE YOUR REVENUE FUNDS, IT ALL BACK INTO THOSE REVENUE FUNDS THAT ARE SPECIAL AND DEDICATED FOR THAT SOURCE, SAME WITH SOLID WASTE.
THEY ARE SIMPLY BACK INTO THOSE BUDGETS.
THEY DON'T BECOME NECESSARILY AVAILABLE BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO FUND ALL OF OUR PEOPLE IF WE'RE FULLY STAFFED, IN A PERFECT WORLD OR FULLY STAFFED.
>> VERY GOOD. MY OTHER COMMENT IS I WANT TO SEE YOU IN CYBER TRUCK.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN AFFORD US A TESLA.
[LAUGHTER] WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT CINEMA FORWARD LIGHTNINGS THAT ARE WHITE IN COLOR AND FAIRLY SIMPLISTIC WOULD ROLL DOWN WINDOWS.
>> PROBABLY NOT. [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU.
>> GOOD PRODUCTS THOUGH. THANK YOU ALL YOU.
>> THANK YOU, SIR, AND NEXT STEP WE HAVE HEIDI HANSON WITH ECONOMIC VITALITY.
>> MORNING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
HEIDI HANSON HERE, ECONOMIC VITALITY DIRECTOR FOR THIS SEGMENT AND I'M ALSO DOING A DUAL ROLE AS INTERIM DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.
[00:45:03]
I HAVE WRITTEN A LOT OF MY NOTES DOWN BECAUSE THERE'S DEFINITELY SO MUCH INFORMATION THAT IF I DON'T TOUCH IT AND I THINK WE'LL BE UPSET.AS A REMINDER, THE ECONOMIC VITALITY DIVISION INCLUDES THE AIRPORT COMMITTEE INVESTMENT, WHICH HAS PARKING, BUSINESS ATTRACTION, RETENTION AND EXPANSION, BEAUTIFICATION, ARTS AND SCIENCES, THE LIBRARY, WHICH IS COUNTY AND CITY, AS WELL AS TOURISM AND VISITOR SERVICES.
I GET THE PLEASURE OF LEADING THIS DIVISION WITH BARNEY HELMICK, TRACE WARD, DAVE MCINTIRE, AND JACK AND JARED TOLMAN.
BUT UNLIKE CJ PERRY, WHO'S OUR AMAZING IT DIRECTOR, I DO NOT HAVE OUR MISSION STATEMENT MEMORIZED SO I'M GOING TO READ IT TO YOU.
[LAUGHTER] THE ECONOMIC VITALITY DIVISION PROVIDES QUALITY SERVICES TO RESIDENTS AND VISITORS THAT PRESERVE AND ENHANCE FLAGSTAFF'S ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE.
IF WE DO THIS CORRECTLY, OUR VISION IS THAT THE ECONOMIC VITALITY DIVISION WILL ENRICH THE LIVES OF OUR FLAGSTAFF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS 365 DAYS A YEAR.
WE DO THIS BY PROVIDING SAFE AND RELIABLE SERVICE, AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES WITH RESPONSIBLE TOURISM PRACTICES, OFFERING LIBRARY SERVICES AND RESOURCES THAT INSPIRE LEARNING, AND BUILDING AND HEALTHY BUSINESS CLIMATE, VIBRANT ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAMS, AND THEN CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE.
I FEEL THAT WE'RE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB.
DON'T GET ALARMED, A LOT OF THIS IS PBB FUNDED AND AS RICK TADDER SHARED WITH YOU YESTERDAY, PBB IS MAKING A HUGE COMEBACK.
TO POSITIONS WE ARE REQUESTING AND ONE THAT I'M GOING TO TALK TO THE BUDGET TEAM THAT I MIGHT NOT BE ACTUALLY MOVING FORWARD WITH, WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING A LIBRARY MARKETING SPECIALIST, SOMEONE THAT CAN ACTUALLY CREATE ALL OF THE OUTREACH.
BUT ONE THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY NEEDING IS AN ARTS COLLECTION AND BEAUTIFICATION ADMINISTRATOR.
I THINK YOU REALIZE BEAUTIFICATION, ARTS, AND SCIENCE IS A PBB FUND AND IT'S PRETTY HEALTHY, BUT THAT'S A GOOD THING.
THE PROBLEM IS YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STAFF TO ADMINISTER ALL OF THE PROGRAMS, SO THAT'S WHY IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY ALL THE TIME.
WE HAVE A FUTURE TRAINING BEAUTIFICATION, ARTS AND SCIENCE COMMISSION EVERY YEAR, AND THEY WANT US TO DO MORE.
WE JUST NEED THE BODIES TO DO IT.
ELISA KRETZMANN HAS REQUESTED THIS POSITION AND WE FEEL WITH DOING THAT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET A LOT MORE DONE. NEXT SLIDE.
THIS SLIDE ACTUALLY IRRITATES ME BECAUSE WE HAVE THREE AND A FOUR QUARTILE IN PBB, [LAUGHTER] AND SORRY FOR THAT'S ALL ABOUT CHRIS ROONEY BENEFITING.
BUT I MIGHT NEED TO SEE HIS QUARTILE TOO.
BASICALLY, YOU LOOK AT OUR REQUESTS OR WHAT'S RECOMMENDED AND THEN WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED, WE'RE ACTUALLY FLAT, WHICH IS PRETTY GOOD.
I'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH SEEING THAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING OR WE'RE ASKING TO DO TO MAKE THE CITY BETTER, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IF YOU APPROVE THIS BUDGET.
NOT SURE, I'M A HUGE FAN OF THE PBB QUARTILES SPLIT UP.
WHAT WE DO IS IMPORTANT, I DON'T WANT YOU TO MISTAKE THAT. NEXT SLIDE.
TO SOME OF THE REQUESTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR, I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T REALLY ALWAYS UNDERSTAND HOW EVERYTHING WE DO ROLLS INTO EACH OTHER.
WHEN WE LOOK AT DOMESTIC MARKETS, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS OUR MARKETING PROGRAM OVERALL.
AGAIN, PBB FUNDED, NOT AFFECTING THE GENERAL FUND AT ALL.
WE'RE ASKING TO TAKE $62,500 THAT IS NORMALLY ALWAYS JUST AT ONE TIME, AND WE'RE ASKING FOR IT TO GO INTO ONGOING BECAUSE WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THESE ANYWAY.
EVERYONE'S GOING TO ASK US TO DO THE HOLIDAY LIGHTING PROGRAM.
THEY'RE GOING TO ASK US TO DO THE PLEDGE FOR THE WILD SO THAT WE TAKE CARE OF OUR WILD SPACES, AND THEY'RE GOING TO ASK US TO TALK ABOUT WINTER WONDERLAND AND OUR DESIGNATIONS WITH THE CRAFT BREWERY.
WHY ARE WE NOT JUST PUTTING THIS INTO OUR ONGOING BUDGET? THAT'S THE REQUEST THERE.
THE $316,500 IS TO GET US BACK TO WHERE WE USED TO BE BEFORE COVID.
WE'RE GOING TO ASK TO ACTUALLY ALWAYS HAVE PANDEMIC RELIEF MONEY TO DO MARKETING.
IF WE HAVE TO CREATE IT LIKE WE DID A LOT FOR ALL OF YOU LAST YEAR WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, OH, MY GOSH, WE NEED THEM TO MASK, WE NEED THEM TO DISTANCE, AND AS YOU SAW WE PUT THOSE INTO OUR MESSAGES, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WE ALSO WANT TO GO BACK TO DOING OUR OUT-OF-HOME IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, NEVADA.
THERE'S A HUGE TARGET AUDIENCES FOR US.
WE'RE ALSO ASKING TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE CLEAN TEAM FOR THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ALLIANCE.
I THINK Y'ALL WANT DOWNTOWN TO LOOK CLEAN AND WE ACTUALLY SUPPORT THEM.
THEN A NEW FEATURE THAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE PROS DIVISION, IS WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A LASER LIGHT SHOW ON 4TH OF JULY INSTEAD OF FIREWORKS.
[00:50:06]
IT IS VERY HARD TO [NOISE] EXCUSE ME.>> MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS WE ALWAYS HAVE A 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS OVER AT CONTINENTAL AND INSTEAD THERE WILL BE A LIGHT SHOW.
NOW, IT WON'T BE ABLE TO BE SEEN AS FAR AS FIREWORKS, BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO DO WHERE PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT ON SCREEN AND THEY WATCH IT LIKE WE DID FIREWORKS [OVERLAPPING].
>> IT CAN BE. BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY GO TO THE CONTINENTAL, YOU CAN SEE IT AS WELL.
I WOULD BE LYING TO SAY THAT I AM DOING ALL THIS, REBECCA'S AMAZING STAFF OVER IN PARKS AND RECREATION IS HANDLING THAT PART OF IT AND ENSURED THAT REBECCA COULD SPEAK MORE TO IT IF YOU'RE [OVERLAPPING].
>> YOU GOT IT. [LAUGHTER] ANYWAY, WE'VE JUST DECIDED REBECCA AND I WERE TIRED OF DEALING WITH IT BEING CANCELED ALL THE TIME, WE SAID LET'S JUST BE PROACTIVE.
WE WILL HAVE FIREWORKS IN JANUARY OR AROUND NEW YEAR'S EVE IF ALL GOES WELL AND WE DON'T CANCEL THOSE THINGS, AND THEN WE'LL DO A LASER LIGHT SHOW IN THE SUMMER SO THAT WE CAN KEEP OUR COURSE SAFE.
>>POSSIBLY LASER IN THE WINTERTIME, EVENTUALLY.
>> EXACTLY. OUR CITY MANAGER WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME ARCHITECTURAL MAPPING ON THE BUILDINGS AND HISTORIC DOWNTOWN.
WE'RE WORKING ON THAT, GETTING QUOTES ON PRICING.
I THINK SEDONA RED ROCKS HAVE DONE A REALLY NICE PROGRAM.
AGAIN, REBECCA'S STAFF IS LOOKING INTO THAT.
IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE HOW OUR DIVISIONS ARE WORKING IN TANDEM.
WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO REBOOT THERE.
>> SORRY, THE LASER SHOW WILL BE STARTED THIS YEAR?
>> IT'S NOT THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
WELL, ACTUALLY THE NEXT FISCAL IS JULY, SO IT'LL BE JULY 20TH.
>> ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SAY YES TO EVERYTHING AND WE'RE VOTED.
[LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING] THEN WE'RE HOPING TO REBOOT THE STATE OF THE STATION.
I THINK WE HAVE THAT FUN FABRICATED ICE CREAM AND GET LOTS OF CROWDS, NOW WE'RE HOPING TO BRING THAT BACK OUT OF STORAGE.
WE'RE ALSO WANTING TO ACTUALLY GO BACK TO DOING MORE OF OUR HIGH ALTITUDE PROMOTION.
WE'RE A MAJOR, MAJOR MARATHON RIDING COMMUNITY UP HERE AND WE NEED TO DO THAT, AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE DOING MORE GREATER VALLEY TV PROMOTION OF OUR FESTIVALS AND OUR EVENTS WHO HAVE BEEN SO HURT BY COVID, TO REALLY GIVE THEM THE LOVE AND ATTENTION THAT THEY NEED.
WE'RE ALSO OF COURSE, GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIRE SAFETY AND SNOW PLACE SAFETY.
COUNCIL MEMBERS SHIMONI, YOU ARE WORKING WITH MOUNTAIN LINES GET VISITORS OUT OF THEIR CARS.
>> YES. WE'RE GOING AND ASKING THEM TO USE SUCH TRANSPORTATION.
SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON ARE GETTING OUR HOTELS TO ACTUALLY GIVE THE BUS PASS TO THEIR PATRONS SO THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY USE THE MOBILE TICKETING APP AND THEY WOULD GET ON THE BUS.
THAT IS JUST ONE OF A LIST OF TEN THINGS THAT TRACE MOORE AND HIS TEAM ARE WORKING ON.
WHEN IT COMES TO AIRCRAFT PARKING STREET MAINTENANCE, YES, IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE A LOT OF MONEY WITH ALL THIS CARES ACT OR ARPA AND ALL THAT, BUT WE HAVE DEADLINES.
WE'RE ACTUALLY JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF BRIAN BOB AS OUR PROJECTS MANAGER, AMAZING HUMAN BEING, WE'RE GOING TO GET MAINTENANCE OF OUR ROADS DONE FULLY AND DRIVE IS SPREAD OUT THE TERMINAL.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE FIXING UP THIS PARKING LOTS, AND WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT WE'RE REQUIRED BY FAA IS TO GET OUR RESTRAIGHTENING OR PAVEMENT REPAIRS OR CURB REPAIRS AND OUR SIDEWALK REPAIRS TO ALL COMPLETED.
WE ARE GOING TO FACILITY AND ABILITY MAINTENANCE.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE CONTINUING TO FIX UP OUR STORAGE FACILITIES OR HANGERS.
WE'RE REQUIRED THEATER TENANTS OF OURS THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THESE FIXED.
WE'RE GOING TO FIX OUR BRAKE PROPAGATORS, OUR GUTTERS, OUR HEAT TAPE, OUR HVAC SYSTEM, AND OUR THEME IT IS HARD TO KEEP UP SOMETHING THAT IS BEING UTILIZED 365 DAYS A YEAR, BUT THEY'RE DOING IT.
THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THIS IS RETENTION EXPANSION AND BUSINESS ATTRACTION.
DAVE'S TEAM IS DOING AN AMAZING JOB, DAVE'S A GREAT LEADER AND WE'RE REQUESTING FUNDING TO CONTINUE TO DO THOSE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS THEY'VE USED SO GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO LAST YEAR.
TWENTY-SEVEN PEOPLE OR BUSINESSES WERE ACTUALLY GRANTED INCENTIVES LAST YEAR AND WE'RE HOPING TO DOUBLE THAT.
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO REIMBURSE OUR MARKETING EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT FIVE STEPS TOP OF MIND, AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE ENHANCING THEIR SHOES, FLAGSTAFF.COM WEBSITE.
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE MAINTENANCE THAT MAY SET THANKS TO SCOTT OVERTURNING HIS FACILITIES TEAM,
[00:55:01]
AND THE POINT IS WE HAVE ENTREPRENEURS THERE BUT THEY ARE ALSO PAYING TENANTS.SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE FACILITIES ARE ALL THAT THEY SHOULD BE.
NEXT SLIDE. [NOISE] THANK YOU, GLORIOUS.
I LOVE THIS SLIDE. THIS WHY I DO LOVE, BECAUSE I MIGHT REPEAT THIS SLIDE, [LAUGHTER] BUT I LIKE THIS SLIDE.
I DON'T THINK YOU'VE HEARD ANYBODY TALK ABOUT A KEY COMMITTEE PRIORITY WHERE THEY BUILD A ROBUST AND RESILIENT ECONOMY. WE DO THAT.
THIS DIVISION IS A REVENUE OF PRODUCING DIVISION.
WE BRING PEOPLE INTO THIS COMMUNITY TO SPEND MONEY.
WE HAVE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT OVER 600 MILLION IN DIRECT SPENDING.
SO I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER THAT WE'RE NOT A HUGE BURDEN TO THE GENERAL FUND, THE DBB IS VERY IMPORTANT.
LATER IN LIFE WHEN IT COMES BACK UP, PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS DOING AMAZING THINGS.
WHAT WE PLAN TO DO IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT ROBUST AND RESILIENT ECONOMY IS WE PLAN TO CONTINUE TO DO OUR INCENTIVES.
AGAIN, I SAID 27 PEOPLE WHO HAD THOSE, WE'RE GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTING FINALLY, THE ECONOMICS DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN.
WE'RE HELPING WITH THAT PLAN THAT WE WILL HAVE A ROADMAP FOR SMART GROWTH.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT CUSTOMER RE-SERVICE AS WELL AS ONGOING BUSINESS SUCCESS.
WE ALSO PLAN TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR AMENITIES ARE TOP-NOTCH, SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP OUR ROUTES AND GAIN ROUTES.
WE WERE SO CLOSE TO SAN FRANCISCO RIGHT BEFORE COVID.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT BARNEY AND I ARE NOT GOING TO LET THAT GO.
SAN FRANCISCO WILL BE HUGE, HUGE BENEFIT FOR US, NOT JUST AS FLYING LEISURE TRAVELERS BUT FOR BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE BLACK STAFF.
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT COULD DO FOR THIS COMMUNITY? LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE TOURISM MARKETING, TO ALWAYS EXPAND THAT.
I CAN'T EMPHASIZE ENOUGH THAT WHEN PEOPLE SAY, AND I'M WATCHING THIS WITH SOME OF OUR, NOT GOING TO NAME THE NAMES, OTHER OUTLYING COMMUNITIES, WHERE THEY'RE SAYING, WE DON'T NEED A MARKET BECAUSE THEY COME.
THAT IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD AND I WILL TELL YOU YOU DO NEED TO MARKET.
YOU NEED TO MARKET RESPONSIBLE TOURISM, YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOW DO YOU WANT THEM TO PLAY WHEN THEY ARE HERE.
SO PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT MESSAGE, IT'S VERY VITAL AND I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO TOP NOTCH JOB, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WITH THE 4TH OF JULY AND LASER SHOW, I THINK WE'RE SHOWING THAT, THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT OUR AREAS AS WELL.
THEN FOR A SUSTAINABLE, INNOVATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT LAST WITH JULIE, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT LIBRARY ADA PROJECT.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED THAT COMPLETED.
WE ARE PROBABLY STARTING THAT IN SUMMER.
IT'S A HUGE PROJECT, ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME WITH A NICE ARTWORK AS WELL, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND THE AIRPORT.
THAT WHOLE ROOM IS GOING TO BE BIGGER, SCHEDULING AREA IS GOING TO BE HUGE AND THE MARKETING PROGRAM THAT I'M WORKING ON AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, CLAIRE HARPER IS GOING TO BE STARTING MAY 2ND, TO BE OUR AIRPORT COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER.
SHE IS NOT ONLY GOING TO BE HELPING GIVE THE MESSAGE OUT, BUT SHE'S GOING TO BE CREATING A REVENUE RESOURCE ALONG WITH ME AND BARNEY TO HELP SUSTAIN [INAUDIBLE] CAN STAND UP.
>> [OVERLAPPING] IT'S ONE OF THE REAL QUICK SERVICE [INAUDIBLE] ONE IDEA THAT I NEVER EMBRACED IS YOUR LAST COUPLE OF SLIDES DOWN [INAUDIBLE] ONE THING WE'VE LEARNED IS THAT YOU CAN MODEL OR YOU COULD FRAME TOURISM AROUND, IT GOES TOURISM AND WE HAVE THIS CLIMATE ADAPTATION PLAN, PART OF NEUTRALITY BY 2030 BUSH, WE CAN MARKET THAT.
BRINGING A CERTAIN CUSTOMER BASE TWO, FIVE STAFF, IF LOTS OF SUPPORT, THOSE SORTS OF EFFORTS AND VELOCITY INVOLVED IN CONTRIBUTING TO CARBON NEUTRALITY AND ALL THESE PEOPLE.
I JUST THINK THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REALLY GO FULL FORCE IN SYNERGY WITH SOME OF OUR OTHER OBJECTIVES TO MARKET TO THAT TOURIST TO BRING THOSE DOLLARS TO TOWN.
THAT'S AFFORDABLE AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK WILL HELPING TO SUPPORT OUR BUSINESSES AND HELPING TO SUPPORT THE HEAVY ECONOMIC LIFT.
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE TO MAKE THIS WORK.
JUST HAVE IT ALL FEEDBACK INTO INSTALLMENT.
>> MAYOR COUNSELOR AS I CAN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE AND I HATE TO DO THIS TO TRACE BUT WHEN YOU COME BACK TO
[01:00:01]
OUR HOME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT OUR PRACTICE CARBON NEUTRALITY RATE ARE ON OUR OUT-OF-HOME BILLBOARD.>> IT'S ALL ABOUT IT. SO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO WE'RE GOING TO ATTEND IT WITH THE FULL OF YOUR TEAM.
>> ALSO THIS ADVERTISES OUR EFFORT, AND IT JUST BUILDS THAT LARGER SYNERGY ACROSS THE NATION AND ACROSS CORPORATE AMERICA, AND ACROSS THE WORLD.
>> WHERE PEOPLE ARE JUST SATURATED WITH THE IDEA THAT THIS IS RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP AND THIS IS THE DIRECTION OF THE FUTURE AND WE MIGHT AS WELL FLOW OR AT LEAST GET OUT OF THE WAY.
>> [LAUGHTER] EXACTLY. GO WITH THE FLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY I LIKE IT.
[LAUGHTER] AND THEN [INAUDIBLE] THAT MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI.
APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT YOU'VE DONE WITH ALL THE MESSAGING OF THE COUNCIL'S LAST WORDS [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S TOTALLY YOURS AND I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS IN REGARDS TO MARKETING AND OUTREACH AND KEY WORD FACING COMMUNICATION, SOME WITH MULTI-LANGUAGE, MULTILINGUAL COMMUNICATION.
THAT WAS JUST MADE ME SO HAPPY.
THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SHOULD MAINLY ACTUALLY HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IN BROCHURES IN SEVEN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
I WILL TELL YOU, I DON'T THINK IT'S SUCCESSFUL FOR US INWARD.
WE DO HAVE EVERYTHING IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH RIGHT NOW.
WE SHOULD BE WORKING WITH ROSE A LITTLE CLOSER TO DO THE OTHERS AND I WILL DEFINITELY SPEAK IN TO TRACE ABOUT THAT.
BUT DEFINITELY, ANYTHING THAT WE DO WITH OUR INTERNATIONAL MARKETS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WE HAVE ABOUT SEVEN TO EIGHT LANGUAGES THAT ARE TRANSLATED.
WE HAVE A HUGE BUDGET FOR TRANSLATION.
JUST KIDDING. [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER]
>> EVERYONE CREATES IN COMMUNICATION.
THEY AGREE TO SEE A VIDEO IN [INAUDIBLE], SOMETIMES IN ENGLISH.
FLIP THE SCRIPT A LITTLE BIT, YOU CAN WIRE THEM OUT BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS USUALLY COOL.
BUT THEN MY OTHER COMMENT IS CAN WE FOCUS A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR ON FURTHER UP LIFTING MINORITY HOME BUSINESSES THROUGH SOME OF THE FUNDING THAT'S BEING ALLOCATED.
THEN I'M JUST GOING TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW NON-BLACKS LOOKING AT FUNDING THE SHUTTLED TO BE IMPORTANT IN THE LONG-TERM AND THEY MIGHT NEED SOME FUNDING TO DO IT.
BUT THERE MIGHT BE SOME FUNDING REQUESTS, BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS AT THE MOMENT AND THEY'RE REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT IN HIS HOUSE.
WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AIRPORT ON THAT AND THAT'S BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS SO FAR.
>> I'LL SEE MY GAZE ON THAT FUNDING IT'S HARD TO ACQUIRE.
>> JUST SO YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE WORKING IN THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF RECRUITMENT VIDEO, ROSA IS GOING TO BE A PART OF IT AND TRACES WILL BE ASKING HER TO DO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.
>> THANK YOU. CAN WE GO BACK TO THE 70,000 AND 45,000 CORE BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION IN BUSINESS ATTRACTION FUND? THIS RELATES TO THE DIRECT INCENTIVES TO BUSINESSES, CORRECT?
>> YOU SAID WE HAD 17 BUSINESSES THAT HAVE 27.
[OVERLAPPING] WITH THAT IN MIND, I WANT TO ADD TO OUR PARKING LOT TO INCREASE THE BRD TO 100 SO ADD ANOTHER 30. BUSINESS ATTRACTION AND ADD ANOTHER 30 TO MAKE IT 75.
>> THIRTY THOUSAND FOR BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION AND 30,000 FOR BUSINESS ATTRACTION.
TO BE VERY CLEAR WITH YOU RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE 30,000 FOR THE BUSINESS RETENTION EXPANSION SLIDE.
WE HAVE 5000, I DON'T WANT THIS TO FREAK YOU OUT, FOR THE SUSTAINABLE AUTOMOTIVE SALES, BUT IT'S BECAUSE WE STILL HAD MONEY FOR THAT, FOR THE LOCALS.
WE WERE ASKING 40,000 FOR THE JOB CREATION INCENTIVE.
ACTUALLY, IT WAS 75 ALTOGETHER SO THAT'S MY ERROR ON THAT, ON THAT SLIDE.
BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE PROBABLY, WE'RE DISTRIBUTING.
>> SEVENTY-FIVE FOR BOTH ITEMS?
>> SEVENTY-FIVE FOR THREE INCENTIVES IS WHAT WE HAVE.
[01:05:03]
ALL OF THEM ARE BEING COVERED.OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ONE HAS STUDIED ALL OF IT.
DAVE MCINTIRE, I KNOW IS ON THE LINE I THINK HE CAN CALL US.
>> SEVENTY-FIVE IS WEAK LET ME HAVE OR WHAT YOU'RE ASKING?
>> WE'RE ASKING TO HAVE THE MONEY BACK BECAUSE IT WAS A ONE TIME SO WE'RE ASKING FOR IT BACK.
DAVE IS ON THE SCREEN SO HE CAN CORRECT ME ANY DAY.
>> THERE IS NO NEED TO CORRECT YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CLARIFICATION.
WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR HERE WERE THE FUNDS OF THE INCENTIVES IS TO REPLENISH THEM BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL.
WE OF COURSE CAN TAKE THAT LEVEL A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, BUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS JUST REFILLED THE AUTO SALES TAX, THE SUSTAINABLE AUTOMOTIVE SALES TAX REBATE, WE'VE REFILLED THE ATTRACTION INCENTIVE, WE FILL THE JOB CREATION INCENTIVE.
THEN SOME OF THE OTHER DOLLARS THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE ARE FOCUSED ON MARKETING AND WEBSITE ENHANCEMENT TO ALLOW FOR US TO REALLY FOCUS ON TARGET MARKETS WHERE BUSINESSES ARE EXPANDING AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY WANTED TO EXPAND HERE.
FOR INSTANCE, IN CALIFORNIA, AND ALONG PHEANUS.
YOU'RE SEEING A MIX OF THOSE THINGS WITHIN THE VRE AND BUSINESS ATTRACTION PIECES HERE.
OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU WANTED TO ADD ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO IT, WE COULD CONTINUE TO EXPAND THOSE INCENTIVES AND THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY FINE.
BUT THESE DOLLARS DO GET US BACK TO WHERE WE WERE WHEN WE INITIALLY BROUGHT THEM FORWARD. WAS THAT HELPFUL?
>> MY INTENTION IS TO INCREASE, HONESTLY, MORE FUNDING TO THIS PROGRAM SO LET'S START WITH THE FIRST 30.
>> LASTLY, I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE A SPACE OF GRATITUDE AND IMMENSE SELF-MANAGEMENT TO THE DISCOVER FLAGSTAFF TEAM.
BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR FULL-SERVICE MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION ARM OF THE CITY AND THEY PROVIDED A LOT OF BRANDING FLORIDA SAYING THE FLAGS THAT LOCAL AND MY ACTIONS MATTER.
THE FLAG THAT SEES US THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.
EVEN IF THERE'S SOME DESIGN WORK FOR THE PACK FOR CARBON NEUTRALITY, AMONG OTHERS.
STEPHEN METRO PLANS, THEY HELP US RE-BRAND METRIC LAND GREATER EFFECTS.
I THINK THAT'S THE STORY THAT NEEDS TO BE PART OF OUR DISCOVER FACTOR [INAUDIBLE] AND VISITOR WITH PROVIDING SERVICES FOR MANY DIVISIONS OF OUR CD AND NOW WE'RE PARTNERS WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE REGION.
LASTLY, I WANT TO MAKE A PLUG.
MAY 4TH, 8TH, OR 4TH HERE, THAT'S RIGHT.
IT IS THE NATIONAL [OVERLAPPING] AND TRAVEL TOURISM SERVICE DAY AND DISCOVER PLAZA IS INITIATING A SERVICE DAY CLEANING UP THIS OUTSIDE AREA.
SIGN UP WITH KAREN NELSON FROM OUR DISCIPLINE.
>> WHEN WE HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THE COVER MONEY.
IN OTHER WORDS, IS THIS COMING FROM THE GENERAL FUND, IS IT COMING FROM BBB, ETC.
>> MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER OF [INAUDIBLE].
THE MAJORITY OF WHAT WE SPOKE ABOUT AS THE DBAS.
ECONOMIC SPELLED IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A GENERAL FUNDING.
THAT AIRPORT IS NOW BASICALLY BEING FUNDED THROUGH THE CARES MONEY AND THEN EVENTUALLY IT WILL BE A NON-INVERTED TO THE GENERAL FUND.
OUR HOPE IS THAT WE WILL BE HAVING MUCH SUCCESS WITH THE PARKING PROGRAM, WHICH WILL SERVE MORE THAN JUST REVENUE BUT ACTUALLY IF SOMEONE BE ABLE TO PARK WHEN NEEDED, AS WELL AS THE LEASING OF THE 31.45 ACRES THAT WERE INTERIOR AS WELL AS THE MARKETING PLAN THAT I PLAYED TOGETHER WITH FLAIR OF PURPOSE.
>> OKAY. THIS IN GENERAL AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TO START IN THE FUTURE, COVER MONEY SHOULD BE [OVERLAPPING] IN EVERY SENSE YOU SHOULD SAY, WELL, THERE'S [INAUDIBLE]
>> SURE AND THE BUDGET TEAM, I AM ON THE BUDGET TEAM AND AN UPDATED THAT, SO WE'LL HAVE THAT AS OUR CURRENT CONVERSATION.
>> UP NEXT WE HAVE [INAUDIBLE] WATER SERVICES.
>> THANKS, JULIE. I'M NOT USED TO A LOT OF APPLAUSE, PARTICULARLY DURING A MAJOR STEEL A BED OR A FLOODING BED, THANK YOU FOR THAT.
IF I COULD GIVE SOME KUDOS GOT OVER TANGENT IS PRESENTED FROM PUBLIC WORKS AND REBECCA IS GOING PRESENTED FROM PROSS BUT THE GOAL IS TO LEAVE THINGS BETTER THAN I FOUND THEM.
I JUST WANT TO TIP MY HAT TO STOP REBECCA IS HERE AND THE TEAMS, THEY'RE TAKING THINGS BEYOND WHERE I COULD.
[01:10:03]
WE TALK ABOUT IT THEY'RE NOT DOING IT AND SO JUST WITH RESPECT TO WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING THEIR RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS.WATER SERVICES, I'M HAPPY TO SERVE AS YOUR WATER SERVICES DIRECTOR.
FIRST THING I DO WHEN I TELL IT TO AN ORGANIZATION IS TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION, EVALUATED THE TILES THAT'S THERE AND I COULD TELL YOU LAST WEEK WAS WATER PROFESSIONALS WEEK.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN THIS ORGANIZATION THAT ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN EVERY DAY.
WATER, WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER, RECLAIMED WATER, WATER CONSERVATION, REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, ENGINEERING, I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS AT HOW TO READ THE FLAG PLAN, WE ARE WATER AND I THINK THAT SPEAKS FOR ALL OF US.
WATER IS THE CORE AS YOU ALL KNOW PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY, THE CORE OF A HEALTHY CIVILIZATION AND FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT AND PROVIDE THAT TO OUR CITIZENRY IS A SACRED CAKE AND SO I THINK WE TREATED AS SUCH.
GOING BACK TO OUR TOTAL BUDGET AND WATER SERVICES, YOU HAVE THIS NUMBER 2.7 NEW BUDGET AND PERSONNEL REQUESTS, TOTAL BUDGET OF LAST YEAR WAS 66 MILLION JUST FOR A FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR WATER SERVICES ABOUT 83 TOTAL FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES.
I WON'T SAY WHAT THE COMPENSATION MERIT AND BENEFITS INCREASE VERY HELPFUL FOR THOSE POOR BASE-LEVEL EMPLOYEES THAT WE WANTED TO KEEP AND GROW AND TURN INTO WATER PROFESSIONALS.
IF WE CAN MAKE THAT HIGHER AT THE EARLY STAGE AND KEEP PEOPLE WORKING THROUGH THE SYSTEM THAT WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN OUR CORE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SO I THINK IT'S VERY BENEFICIAL TOWARDS THAT AND SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH THIS.
THIS IS BY QUARTILE WATER SERVICES QUARTILE ONE GOES INTO A BRAGGART BOASTS IT'S A CORE SERVICE, IT'S IMPERATIVE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THAT'S THE SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE.
YOU SHOWED THIS [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER].
>> I DON'T MEAN TO BRAG GREG [LAUGHTER] BUT IT'S JUST A CORE, SERVICE AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
THANK YOU. WITH THAT, I'M JUST GOING TO HIGHLIGHT A BIT, FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT AND EMERGENCY FLOOD RESPONSE.
WE'VE PROGRAMMED THESE TO RESPOND AS NEEDED, THE 328,000 QUITE FRANKLY IT COULD BE CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN THAT, AS TO WHAT'S REQUIRED TO RESPOND, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BASE OUR RESPONSE ON THE BUDGET THAT'S AVAILABLE.
WE'RE GOING TO RESPOND AND FIND THE THOUGHTS.
SPEAKS TO STAY THINGS LIFE YESTERDAY AND I'LL GET TO THAT IN A LITTLE BIT, STACEY OF BACHELOR AND ACTS ON THE GRANTS FUNDINGS.
A MAJORITY OF WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IS FOR STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE OR WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE OR THE AIRPORT AND WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THOSE INVESTMENTS AND HOPEFULLY, THAT WILL BRING THOSE RESPONSE REQUIREMENTS DOWN.
BUT A WELL-MAINTAINED STORMWATER SYSTEM IS NECESSARY.
WATER SERVICES, COMPUTERIZED, REMOTE CONTROLLING, MONITORING.
IT'S 88,000 ONGOING FOR A POSITION AND THEN ONE TIME FOR EXPANDING CONNECTIVITY, I THINK CJ CAN APPRECIATE THIS.
WE SHARED A POSITION WITH IT IN THE PAST, IT WAS A HIGHER-LEVEL PHYSICIAN WITH A HIGHER RATE OF PAY, THOSE POSITIONS AND CJ CAN SPEAK TO THAT BETTER THAN I ARE REALLY HARD TO FIND AND REALLY HARD TO KEEP, PARTICULARLY RIGHT NOW IN THIS DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT THAT WE WORK IN.
WE TALKED A LOT IN HARRINGTON'S OUR STATED MANAGER ABOUT TRAINING THOSE THAT ARE RUNNING THE OPERATIONS AT THE PLANTS INTO UTILIZING THIS DATA SYSTEM SO WE CAN REMOTE MONITOR.
BUT WE STILL NEED THOSE BOOTS ON THE GROUND HANDS-ON.
IT'S ALWAYS THAT ANALYTICS FOR TEACHING OR BOOTS ON THE GROUND TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE REMOTELY THAT'S NECESSARY.
WILDCAT HILL WATER RECLAMATION PLANT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE AT POSITION 91,000 [INAUDIBLE] 120 IN MAINTENANCE FUNDING.
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A BIT MORE ABOUT THIS LATER TODAY AT OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES DOING THAT HARD [NOISE] EITHER AND LOOKING AT THE FUNDING THAT'S NECESSARY FOR THOSE PIECES OF CORE OF THE STRUCTURE, I WILL SAY A CUSTOMER MCCARTHY ASKED ABOUT THE COLOR OF MONEY, REPLENISHED IT YESTERDAY OUR RAID SYSTEM IS WHAT FUNDS TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS, BORN WATER AS WELL AS WATER RATES.
I'LL ALSO GO ON TO SAY IN THE EXPLORATION THAT I'VE DONE OUR RATES ARE VERY FAVORABLE WHEN YOU LOOK AT RATES THROUGHOUT THE TETRAD, PARTICULARLY IN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA WE SERVE OUR CITIZENS WELL FOR THE AMOUNT THAT THEY PAY.
WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT RATE STRUCTURE AND LOOK AT ALL OF OUR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES TO FIND THE SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE.
WEALTH, GROUNDWATER PRODUCTION OPERATIONS, AND MAINTENANCE.
THAT'S OPERATING UTILITY BILLS AND THEN SOME MAINTENANCE THERE.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE KEY COMMUNITY PRIORITY,
[01:15:01]
LEGAL REPRESENTATION, HIGH-PERFORMING GOVERNMENT.UNFORTUNATELY, THE WATER CULTURE OF THE WEST DOESN'T REQUIRE LEGAL REPRESENTATION AS WE ALL CONTINUE TO SECURE OUR WATER RESOURCES AND GOING FORWARD AND THEN SEPARATE SERVERS AND VULNERABILITY AND THAT GETS BACK TO OUR SCADA SYSTEM AND REMOTE MANAGEMENT BUT IT ALSO GETS THE REDUNDANCY IN OUR SYSTEMS AND WE TALKED ABOUT BACKUP GENERATORS, ETC, NECESSARY TOR EXAMPLE, THE TUNNEL FIRE THAT'S CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE AND THE LOSS OF POWER TO MANY OF THOSE RESIDENTS, WE ARE MONITORING THAT LOSS OF POWER AS IT MAY IMPACT SOME OF OUR SITES AND IF THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, WE NEED TO HAVE REDUNDANCY IN THE SYSTEM TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE TO OUR CITIZENS.
A SAFE AND HEALTHY COMMUNITY, THE WATERSHED INVESTMENT IN STORMWATER MAINTENANCE SO SAFE, WE FOCUSED A LOT ON SAFETY DURING FLIGHT RESPONSE AND WE CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THAT WITH NECESSARILY CAPITAL INVESTMENTS AND THEN HEALTHY OUR WATERSHEDS ARE PART OF OUR HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT, THE DUCK POND, THE FRIENDS OF SHORT TIME, FOR EXAMPLE, COMMUNITY AMENITY THAT IS A GATHERING SPOT FOR SO MANY OF US INVOLVED, TAKEN OUR YOUNG ONES FISHING THERE AND IT ALSO CREATES A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR US TO LIVE IT.
[NOISE] INCLUSIVE AND ENGAGED COMMUNITY, I'LL GIVE A BIT HERE, THE MAYOR'S CHALLENGE FOR WATER CONSERVATION, PLEASE TAKE IT IF YOU CAN.
MY WATER PLEDGED.COM, ERIN YOUNG REMINDED ME OF THAT AS I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE PODIUM SO THANK YOU ERIN, AND THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK WITH OUR CONSERVATION GROUP.
YOU'LL SEE THEM IN THE SCHOOLS, YOU'LL SEE THEM WORKING WITH SUSTAINABILITY, YOU'LL SEE THEM WORKING ON THOSE MARKETING EFFORTS, IF YOU WILL, FOR WATER PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE, INFRASTRUCTURE OF WATER RESOURCE PLANNING TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS AND THE RELATIONSHIP TO THE CARBON NEUTRALITY PLAN.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A CONSULTANT AT OUR RECLAMATION PLANTS AND WATER PLANTS LOOKING AT POTENTIAL EFFICIENCIES IN THE SYSTEM WHERE WE CAN PROVIDE SAVINGS ALSO NICOLE REMINDED ME THIS WEEK OF A DIRECT AGREEMENT WITH HOOVER DAM ALLIANCE I HOPE I GOT THAT RIGHT NICOLE AND WE EXPERIENCED WITH THAT ABOUT $60,000 IN ENERGY SAVINGS THIS PAST YEAR.
NOW THAT'S USUALLY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT BUT INCREMENTAL.
IT'S A STARTUP AND I BELIEVE THE INCREMENTAL PANELISTS AND GET THAT ALL RELATED TO POSITIVE DIRECTION, WE'LL KEEP IT GOING.
OUR WATERFALL, THE SAMPLING, AND COMPLIANCE.
THIS ONE, WE HAD A SHORT NOTICE INSPECTION BY THE ARIZONA AND THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ON OUR RECLAMATION PLANT OR A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT YESTERDAY, I GOT AN EMAIL SAYING THAT NO DEFICIENCIES, AND SHANE'S LAUGHING BECAUSE OF LANDFILLERS OR LANDFILL OR OPERATION.
NO DEFICIENCIES ESSENTIALLY IT MEANS GOLD STAR.
NOW, YOUR TECHNICAL GROUP, THEY DON'T WANT TO GO UP GIVING GOLD STAR FOR EVERYBODY BUT THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS AND I THINK THAT JUST SPEAKS TO THE WATER PROFESSIONALS [INAUDIBLE] BRIAN AND EVERYONE WORKED ON THAT END.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP WASTEWATER TREATMENT WITH LINKS TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD RETURN TO BREAK A PLUS.
THERE'S A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT CONTAMINANTS OF AN EMERGENCY CONCERN, WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT, WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR RECLAIMED WATER WITH THAT AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT USE OF RECLAIMED WATER FOR DRINKING WATER SOURCE INTO THE FUTURE.
TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO EMERGE ON THAT RIGHT NOW IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE BUT AS TECHNOLOGIES EMERGED WITH ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND WOULD LIKE HOW FAR TESLA'S CAR NOW ARE MAKING LARGE EQUIPMENT AND I THINK WE'LL SEE THAT IN THE WATER WORLD AS WELL.
BASED ON NECESSITY AND UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES THINGS HAVE TO DRIVE THAT ECONOMY BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
BEFORE WE GET INTO COUNCIL DISCUSSION, I JUST WANTED TO LIST A FEW OTHER PRIORITIES.
THE REDUNDANCY IN HIS FAITH AND OF OUR RECLAMATION PLANS TO ADDRESS THE WASTEWATER CAPACITY, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT WITH OUR CAPITAL PLAN BUT IT'S A MAJOR NEED RIGHT NOW AND I'M NOT ONE TO EVER STAND UP AND SOUND ALARMS BUT IT'S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO ADDRESS, IT'S SOMETHING THAT MY TIME AND BARRETT MILLER'S TITLE OF WATER SERVICES THAT YOU HAD GOTTEN HER OWN SURETTE.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE UTILIZATION AND CONSERVATION OF WATER SOURCES FOR WATER SOURCE SECURITY, STORMWATER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AND THEN CAPITAL PROJECTS
[01:20:02]
TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY FLOODING IMPACTS PRIORITY, CONTINUE TO SECURE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO MEET HER INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS.YOU SAW STACEY'S FEW CASES YESTERDAY WRITTEN MENTIONED IN A RAID STRUCTURE.
THEN AND WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON STORMWATER WITH THE CITIZEN BOND COMMITTEE YESTERDAY TO TALK ABOUT THOSE NEEDS.
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CIP DISCUSSION TODAY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO CERTAIN WATER SERVICES, YOU HAVE A GREAT TEAM THERE AND I'M JUST TRYING TO ATTACH TO IT.
NEXT UP WE HAVE RICK BARRETT WITH ENGINEERING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
[LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND] THANK YOU BACK THERE MY CITY FANS.
RICK BARRETT, CITY ENGINEER OF OUR [INAUDIBLE] THE ENGINEERING DIRECTOR, I'M PROUD TO BE HERE TODAY.
I'M GOING TO SAY THIS IS AS A JOKE AND BEFORE I SAY IT JUST SO IT'S NOT TAKEN WRONG.
I THINK THE DECIMAL POINT IS WRONG ON THAT ONE.
[LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] WANT TO RED FLAG THIS EMAIL.
WE WERE ASKED TO KEEP OUR REQUEST DOWN.
I HAD TO WRITE A BUDGET TEAM GOING INTO THIS AND I TOOK THAT SERIOUS.
FIFTY-SIX THOUSAND OF THAT NUMBER RIGHT THERE IS FOR RETIREMENTS THAT ARE EVEN OUT OF MY CONTROL.
SO THERE'S TWO STAFF IN THE ENGINEERING GROUP THAT PLAN ON RETIRING IN FY 23.
WE KEPT OUR REQUEST TO A REASONABLE AMOUNT, BUT I'M REALLY THANKFUL FOR THE WORK THAT THE BUDGET TEAM DID AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ADVANCE IN OUR BUDGET AND I'LL GET INTO THAT IN A MINUTE.
WHAT IS THE ENGINEERING DIVISION? THE ENGINEERING DIVISION IS FOUR SECTIONS.
WE'VE GOT THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS GANG, WE'VE GOT TRANSPORTATION, WE'VE GOT INSPECTION AND TESTING, AND THEN WE'VE GOT A GROUP THAT WORKS WITH CD AND DANCE TEAM ON DEVELOPMENT REVIEW.
THERE'S 30 PEOPLE IN THAT GROUP.
WE ESSENTIALLY HAVE, ASIDE FROM THIS, ABOUT A $3.2 MILLION BUDGET.
PRIMARILY, THAT'S 95 PERCENT SALARY.
THE ENGINEERING DIVISION IS ABOUT PEOPLE.
ALTHOUGH WE ARE GETTING ELECTRIC VEHICLE, WE ARE GETTING ONE OF THE FOUR TRUCKS, THAT'S A LIGHTNING, WE'RE WAITING FOR IT TO ARRIVE, SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
THANK YOU TO THE FLEET COMMITTEE FOR RECOGNIZING THE NEED TO REPLACE ONE OF OUR VEHICLES FOR OUR INSPECTORS TO DRIVE AROUND INSPECTING THE RIGHT WAY.
IF I COULD GET THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
WELL BEFORE I GET HERE, WE DO, LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, WE HAVE ABOUT 25 PERCENT VACANCY.
I'VE GOT A STAFF OF 30, THOSE FOLKS THAT I JUST MENTIONED AND WE HAVE ABOUT SEVEN VACANCIES RIGHT NOW.
LIKE OTHERS, IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO WORK WITH THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE.
IT'S AN HONOR TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS TEAM.
THIS IS A HIGHLY ASSEMBLED TEAM AS COUNCILMEMBER MCCARTHY POINTED OUT YESTERDAY AND THAT IS A FACT.
HAVING BEEN HERE, IT IS JUST AN HONOR TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY IN THE CAPACITY THAT THE CITY ENGINEER AND THE ENGINEERING TEAM DOES.
WITH THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT MOST OF WHAT WE DO IS IN QUARTILE NUMBER ONE, THAT'S PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FACT THAT THE ENGINEERING STANDARDS CREATE THAT BOX WITHIN WE DEFINE PUBLIC SAFETY, THAT BOX WHERE WE DEFINE WHAT ADEQUATE AND INNOVATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE IS.
WE'D LIKE TO THINGS THAT WE ARE LEADING THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
IF I COULD GET THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, YOU CAN SEE OUR ONGOING, YOU CAN SEE OUR ONE TIMES.
IN THE ONGOING IS TWO STAFF-RELATED ITEMS; ONE IS A REQUEST FOR A DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER, THANK YOU BUDGET TEAM.
[01:25:01]
MY WRITING IS TOO SMALL.[LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND] THE REASON I FORGOT ABOUT IT IS THAT IT SHOWS UP AS A NEW STAFF MEMBER, BUT WE HAVE A INTERN, AN EMPLOYEE TYPICALLY FROM NAU THAT HELPS ON OUR TRAFFIC SYSTEM.
THIS INDIVIDUAL IS A PART-TIME INDIVIDUAL, AGAIN A COLLABORATION WITH NAU.
WE'VE GOT THOSE TWO STAFF MEMBERS IN ONGOING AND WE HAVE SOME CELL PHONES IN ONGOING.
BUT THEN IN THE ONE-TIME COLUMN, I MENTIONED THE RETIREMENT, WHICH IS THE BULK OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED BEFORE, WE HAVE SOME STUFF IN OUR ONE-TIME COLUMN THAT REALLY OUGHT TO BE IN THE ONGOING COLUMN, THINGS LIKE THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF OUR TRAFFIC COUNTERS THAT WE USE TO DO ALL THESE TRAFFIC STUDIES.
YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE OF HOW BUSY WE'VE BEEN IN REGARDS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMPLAINTS WITH SPEEDING OR CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC.
WHAT WE DO IS WE HAVE TO START TO INITIATE A STUDY.
WE WANT TO BRING FACTS AND OBJECTIVE DATA TO COUNCIL [INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS.
SO THE TRAFFIC COUNTER MAINTENANCE, I KNOW THE BUDGET TEAM IS GOING TO WORK TO GET THAT SHIFTED INTO THE ONGOING COLUMN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WE ALSO HAVE SOFTWARE THAT WE HAVE TO PAY LICENSES ON AND WE HAVE LICENSE MAINTENANCE THAT IS PART OF THE SOFTWARE PACKAGE.
THAT AGAIN IS IN THAT COLUMN, BUT WE HOPE TO GET SHIFTED OVER.
CELL PHONE IS ALSO IN THE ONE-TIME COLUMN, WE HOPE TO GET THAT SHIFTED OVER.
WE HAVE SOME STUFF RELATED TO SMALL WIRELESS FACILITIES WHICH I THINK 5G, BUT IT'S ALSO STATE-MANDATED THAT WE ALLOW THESE FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN OUR PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY, SO THINK THERE ARE PROPERTY RIGHT FOR THESE COMPANIES TO COME INTO TOWN.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE NOT PERMITTED THE INSTALLATION OF ANY OF THESE SMALL WIRELESS FACILITIES YET.
BUT AS PART OF THAT STATUTE, THE CITY HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT STRUCTURAL ADEQUACY OF THESE FACILITIES IS APPROPRIATE, SO WE HAVE SOME MONEY ALLOCATED FOR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS.
THE KEY POINT THERE IS THAT THE STATUTE DOES ALLOW THAT THESE SMALL WIRELESS FACILITIES TO BE MOUNTED ON OUR STREET LIGHTS, OR ON OUR TRAFFIC SIGNAL POLES.
ADDING THAT EXTRA LOADING ONTO A POLE COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE IT TO FAIL.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING OUT THERE IS SAFE.
WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED ON THOSE BULLETS UNDER HIGH PERFORMING GOVERNANCE DEMONSTRATES OUR COMMITMENT TO MAKING SURE WE HAVE TRAINED STAFF.
WE CONTINUE TO TALK WITH THEM.
WHETHER IT'S CHARTERING AND HOW THEY INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER.
THIS IS THE CULTURE OF THE ENGINEERING DIVISION AS IS THE CITY OF LIFE STAFF.
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING WE ADHERE TO BUDGET.
BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT TO MAKE.
WE HAVE TO STAY WITHIN THE BUDGET. THAT'S CRITICAL.
THEN WE COMMUNICATE, AND THEN THE ENGINEERING NEGOTIATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RECORDS RETENTION PRIMARILY THAT TIES BACK TO ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PERMITTED IN OUR PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
WE HAVE TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THAT AND WORK WITH CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY CLERK TO RETAIN THOSE RECORDS.
WE DO THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS, PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS, BUT INCLUSIVE AND ENGAGED COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE TREMENDOUS OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES AND ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN IS INCLUDED HERE.
WE COORDINATE THE USE OF OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH ALL THE FRANCHISE UTILITY COMPANIES.
THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY OUT THERE IS A PRIME PIECE OF LAND.
WE WORK WITH OUR INTER-AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS.
LISTED HERE, ADOT, NAU, METRO PLAN, MOUNTAIN LINE, THEY OPERATE BUSES IN OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY, OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, COCONINO COUNTY, AND BNSF RAILWAY HAS ABOUT 100 TRAINS PASSING THROUGH TOWN ON A DAILY BASIS.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. IN TERMS OF SAFE AND HEALTHY COMMUNITY, I MENTIONED, BUT I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE PARAMOUNT REASONS WE HAVE ENGINEERING STANDARDS.
WE CAN REVIEW PLANS RELATIVE TO THOSE STANDARDS IN THE CODE.
WE ISSUED 352 PERMITS LAST SEASON.
WE'VE DONE A BUNCH OF INSPECTIONS AND MAKE
[01:30:03]
SURE AND MATERIAL TEST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE IS UP TO SNUFF QUITE HONESTLY BEFORE WE HAND THAT OFF TO PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES WHO HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT.MY FRIENDS AND FIRE CHIEF SAID SOMETHING TO ME AT ONE POINT THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET, THE CITIES ARE FOREVER BUSINESS.
THAT IS THE FACT. THE FOLKS THAT WE HAVE IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM THAT HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THIS STUFF.
WE ENSURE THAT ALL PROJECTS ARE SAFE IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
OUR INSPECTORS ARE MAKING SURE THAT THE TRENCHES THAT ARE SAFE IF THEY'RE NOT, WE WILL BE PULLING THEM OUT OF THAT TRENCH IN A HEARTBEAT.
WE MAKE SURE THAT OUR PUBLIC IS SAFE.
WHETHER IT'S TRAFFIC, WHETHER IT'S BIKE AND PEDESTRIANS.
I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT MORE ONEROUS OF BEAVER AND BUTLER, OTHERS IN DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW, WILL END UP BEING THE 6TH STORY PROJECT.
WE WORK VERY HARD AT THAT INTERSECTION TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT QUALIFIED YET.
I GIVE MIRA MONTE, ARIZONA BIG PROPS FOR WORKING WITH THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.
BUT WHAT YOU SEE GOING ON OUT THERE IS SOMETHING UNIQUE TO FLAGSTAFF FOR AT LEAST WE HAVEN'T DONE IT MUCH.
BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING IN A PROTECTIVE SIDEWALK.
THE SIDEWALKS ARE CLOSED CURRENTLY.
WE'RE ACTUALLY BUILDING THIS LITTLE TUNNEL THAT YOU'VE SEEN IN OTHER LARGER CITIES.
BUT WE FELT THAT THIS CORNER IT WAS PARAMOUNT THAT WE ACTUALLY GET THOSE SIDEWALKS OPEN FOR WHAT'S GOING TO BE EXTENDED 11 MONTH PERIOD WHERE OTHERWISE PEDESTRIANS WITHOUT THE DETOUR, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WALK ON THE SIDEWALKS ADJACENT TO THIS PROJECT AND IT WOULD BE SAFE.
WE COORDINATE WITH MUSCLE MAN AND HIS POLICE DEPARTMENT ON A REGULAR BASIS IN TERMS OF NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC SAFETY, SPEEDING.
A LOT OF THIS STUFF CAN LOOK LIKE AN ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.
BUT AGAIN, IT TIES BACK TO THE ENGINEERING STANDARDS.
THERE ARE THINGS WE CAN BUILD IN OUR ENGINEERING STANDARDS THAT HELP OUT WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I'VE TALKED ABOUT THE ENGINEERING STANDARDS ENOUGH.
THEN I MENTIONED BEFORE IN REGARD TO OUR TRAFFIC COUNTERS, WE HAVE 59 TRAFFIC STUDIES THAT WE CONDUCTED THIS LAST SEASON.
THAT NUMBER IS ACTUALLY DOWN FROM WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.
WE'VE BEEN UP AROUND 80, SOMETIMES 90.
WE HAVEN'T HAD THE STAFF TO KEEP UP WITH IT.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE'VE GOT A BACKLOG RIGHT NOW OF NUMEROUS IMPLANTS IN THIS REGARD.
THEN AS FAR AS ROBUST RESILIENT ECONOMY, WE WORKED WITH OUR CONTRACTORS AND OUR CONSULTANTS TO IMPROVE OUR ENGINEERING STANDARDS, HELP US MAKE IT BETTER, KEEP UP WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS.
I PARTICIPATED WITH DAMS FOLD.
HIS INITIATIVE TO ALL OUR CLIENTS AS WE REFER TO THEM AND OUR CUSTOMERS IN TERMS OF [INAUDIBLE].
THEN WE'VE GOT SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE.
WE OPERATE 56 TRAFFIC SIGNALS, NOT INCLUDING A.ROUTES AS WELL AS PEDESTRIAN ACTUATED CROSSINGS.
WE ARE WORKING TO IDENTIFY GRANTS ASSOCIATED WITH INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC SYSTEMS. THE FIBER OPTICS CONNECTING THESE THINGS IF THEY CAN ALL TALK TO ONE ANOTHER AND HOPEFULLY HAVE A PROGRESSION OF GREEN TRAFFICS, BRUSH THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT SOME POINT.
WE'VE GOT ALL CAPITAL PROJECTS TO TIE TO SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE.
WE'VE GOT ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP THAT IS TIED TO DARK SKIES, LIGHTING, FLOOD MITIGATION, AND RIO DE FLAG, WHICH IS FLOOD CONTROL AS WELL.
I WANT TO GIVE A PROMPT TO SCOTT OVERTON AND HIS TEAM IN REGARDS TO DARK SKIES STREET LIGHTING.
THE ENGINEERING TEAM WHO WAS HONORED TO BE PART OF ESTABLISHING THAT STANDARD BY WHICH DARK SKIES, LIGHTING, THAT SHIFT FROM THE OLD TYPE OF LIGHTING TO LED TECHNOLOGY WAS A BIG DEAL FOR OUR LOCAL ASTRONOMERS WHO WERE PROUD TO HAVE BEEN PART OF THAT.
THEY WERE HANDLING THE BALL OFF DECODED ENFORCEMENT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE OF REPLACING A LOT OF STREET LIGHTS IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
NEXT SLIDE, LAST SLIDE, PLEASE. THEN LIVABLE COMMUNITY.
THIS STUFF IS INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU CAN PUT WHAT WE DO IN A LOT OF THESE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY PRIORITIES.
BROKE OUT LIVABLE COMMUNITIES FOR SOME OF THESE CAPITAL PROJECTS OUR ROAD REPAIR AND STREET SAFETY PROJECTS.
I'M HERE TO TELL YOU IF YOU WANT A CAPITAL PROJECT IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMEBODY'S NEIGHBORHOOD, I'M THINKING COCONINO STATES.
DURING COVID WHERE PEOPLE ARE WORKING AT HOME, THEN YOU'RE TEARING UP THEIR FRONT YARD, SURE AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE GREAT NEW STREET AND A WONDERFUL NEW WATERLINE.
[01:35:03]
THEY'RE DIFFICULT. THEY'RE RIGHT IN SOMEBODY'S NEIGHBORHOOD.WE DO IT WELL. VERY PROUD OF THAT.
WE SUPPORT THE TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION.
IT'S GOT TWO SUBCOMMITTEES THE BICYCLE AND THE PEDESTRIAN.
THEN I WANTED TO GO BACK LASTLY, AND JUST MENTION ALIGNING OUR ENGINEERING STANDARDS WITH REGIONAL PLAN, CARBON NEUTRALITY PLAN, AND ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.
THIS SIDE, WE'VE GOT $25,000 ON THE GENERAL FUND THAT WILL HELP SUPPORT NICOLE AND HER TEAM IN ADVANCING IS VERY IMPORTANT DISCUSSION FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
THEN LASTLY, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER $75,000 BUILT INTO PROPOSITION 419.
WHICH IS SCAFFOLD FUNDING TO SUPPORT THAT EFFORT AS WELL.
WE'VE GOT ABOUT A 100,000 IN COMBINATION WITH DAN'S MONEY TO HELP ADVANCE THESE STANDARDS, THESE CODES IF YOU WILL, THE REGULATIONS WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.
>> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION [INAUDIBLE].
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY.
I'VE SPOKEN WITH JESSICA [INAUDIBLE] IN THE [INAUDIBLE] OBVIOUSLY, WE SHARED SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUTS AND LACK OF SIGNAGE.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS ON YOUR RADAR THAT WE CAN ADDRESS?
>> IT'S IMPORTANT. YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE MINICIRCLES.
>> WE'D BE GLAD AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO IF YOU COULD.
IF YOU'RE HAVING A CONTACT WITH JESSE HAVING CONTACT JEFF BOMB AND OUR TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR ENGINEER.
BUT I'D BE GLAD, I DON'T HAVE MY PEN WITH ME.
BUT I'LL GET BACK TO MY DESK AND I WILL TAKE THAT NOTE AND I WILL LET JEFF KNOW AS WELL.
>> SHE IS IN CONTACT WITH JEFF BUT WE CAN FOLLOW UP.
>> WE'LL REACH OUT TO HIM, AND WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT HER SPECIFIC CONCERNS ARE.
I KNOW THERE'S SIGNAGE OUT THERE FOR HIM FOR A JOB ALL THE TIME.
WE'LL TALK TO HIM ABOUT WHAT HIS CONCERNS.
>> THAT'S ALL I HAVE PANEL. THANK YOU.
WE'RE NOW GOING TO TAKE A COF-10.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THAT MEANS? [OVERLAPPING] THERE'S A 10 AND THERE'S A 3 IN GENERAL.
IT'S NOT BECAUSE THE LENGTH OF TIME, IT'S BECAUSE THE TIME OF DAY, AT 10 O'CLOCK AND AT 3 O'CLOCK.
AS WE'RE DOING THAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 15 MINUTES.
WE ARE GOING TO START RIGHT BACK EXACTLY AT 10:25.
AS YOU'RE DOING THAT, BEING THAT WE HAVE A GOLD STAR COUNCIL AND A GOLD STAR GROUP OF STAFF, WILL YOU GIVE THEM A HIGH FIVE OR A FIST BUMP AS YOU ARE TAKING YOUR BREAK, AND THEN AGAIN WE'LL START BACK AT 10:25.
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. [BACKGROUND].
>> WE HAVE TWO MORE PRESENTATIONS.
UP NEXT, WE'VE GOT REBECCA SAYERS WITH PARKS, RECREATION, OPEN SPACE AND EVENTS.
I JUST WANT TO NOTE, I PULLED UP ONE OF YOUR CHAT PACKS AND YOU SPECIFICALLY TOLD US NOT TO TALK POLITICS.
IT SAYS, WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY? [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING].
>> ALL RIGHT. WELL, GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.
>> THAT'S FINE BECAUSE WE HAVE PARKS, RECREATION [INAUDIBLE].
GET UP AND RUN TWO LAPS AROUND [LAUGHTER].
>> ALL RIGHT, WE'LL DO THAT VERY MUCH.
I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANYONE ON A TOUR, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE FOR TWO YEARS AND YOU MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN, I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO SKETCH OUR PRESENTATION BECAUSE THIS ISN'T MY FAVORITE THING TO DO.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. PERSONNEL,
[01:40:01]
THIS IS UPDATED, [INAUDIBLE] PACKET.WE'RE WORKING WITH THIS HARDNESS, AND ALSO NOTE THAT THE TITLES ARE SWITCHED.
>> WE'RE ACTUALLY ALMOST ALL IN QUARTILE TWO, THAT'S NOT QUARTILE THREE, AND WE'RE DOING THAT VERY STRATEGICALLY.
I'D LIKE TO REQUEST THIS YEAR, WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON, AS BEING A NEW DIVISION, WHAT'S THE BEST STRUCTURE FOR US MOVING FORWARD, AND HOW DO WE BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND HOW THOSE NEEDS MEET AND ALIGN WITH THE COUNCIL'S REGULARITIES.
ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT'S FUNDED IN THIS NEXT YEAR IS AT THE QUARTILE TWO, SOME REALLY EXCITING THINGS, AND THANK YOU TO THE BUDGET TEAM FOR THE SUPPORT.
FIRST OF ALL, OUR PRIORITY THIS YEAR WAS A REORGANIZATION AND MADE A DIVISION LAST SEPTEMBER.
WE WANTED TO STRUCTURE OURSELVES TO BE SUCCESSFUL INTO THE FUTURE AND PROVIDE SOME CAPACITY.
ONE THING THAT WE REALLY LACK RIGHT NOW IS CAPACITY TO GO FOR GRANTS.
THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY FOR PARKS AND RECREATION.
WE JUST NEED CAPACITY TO GO FOR IT, WRITE THE GRANTS AND THEN DELIVER.
AS FOR PARKS AND REC THAT MEANS BUILDING STUFF.
WHAT WE REQUESTED AFTER A WHOLE LOT OF WORK INTERNALLY WITH OUR TEAMS, WE CAME UP WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT INCLUDES TWO NEW POSITIONS THAT ARE RECLASSIFICATION, THAT'S WHAT WE ASKED FOR THIS YEAR.
THAT'S A LOT OF WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS QUARTILE TWO.
ONE OF THOSE POSITIONS IS AN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR THAT WILL MANAGE JUST THE PARK AND RECREATIONAL SPACES.
THAT'S BRAND-NEW POSITION, IT'S NOT A RECLASS, AND IT WILL STILL HAVE THE PARKS MANAGER, WHICH IS AIMEE.
YOU GUYS, ALL OF YOU SEE A LOT OF EMAILS FROM HER, RIGHT? SHE DOES AN AMAZING JOB WITH US.
THANK YOU, AIMEE, YOU DO AN AMAZING JOB IN EVERYTHING.
AIMEE IS ALSO FILLING IN RIGHT NOW AS OUR RECREATION MANAGER.
THAT POSITION IS VACANT, BUT THEY'RE THE SAME LEVEL.
HIS ASSISTANT WILL OVERSEE BOTH OF THOSE POSITIONS.
THOSE MANAGERS WILL NOW BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS, AND THIS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WILL BE ABLE TO HELP GUIDE THEM, BUT ALSO PLAN FOR GRANTS, WRITE GRANTS, AND HELP BUILDING THOSE PROJECTS UP.
THAT GETS US GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
A LOT OF PARKS AND REC AGENCIES, INCLUDING US IN THE PAST HAVE RELIED ON VIBE AND VALID INITIATIVES.
ALL OF THAT PRIORITIES THAT YOU ALL HAVE AHEAD OF YOU, INCLUDING INFRASTRUCTURE, WE TOTALLY GET THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PRIORITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER NEEDS THAT ARE PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT MORE IMPORTANT, LIKE MANAGING OUR WASTEWATER AND STORM WATER THAN PARKS AND RECREATION.
WE'RE TRYING TO GO OUT AND FIND OTHER WAYS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THAT'S A BIG ONE.
ANOTHER BIG BUT TINY PART IN TERMS OF PERSONNEL OF OUR DIVISION IS OPEN SPACE.
THAT IS ONE FULL TIME PERSON RIGHT NOW, TO MANAGE OVER 3000 ACRES ABOVE THIS SPACE.
IT'S A BIG JOB, A LOT OF STUFF HASN'T YET BEEN DONE.
WHAT WE ASKED FOR THIS YEAR, A BIG COMPONENT OF THAT JOB IS OUTDOOR EDUCATION TOURS, MANAGING VOLUNTEERS.
WE ASKED FOR A COORDINATOR POSITION AND THAT'S ALSO BEING RECOMMENDED HERE IN THIS CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET.
THAT WILL DOUBLE OUR CAPACITY TO TWO AND WE'RE EXCITED FOR THAT.
THAT ACTUALLY WILL FREE US UP AND WE DO, RIGHT NOW, HAVE IN A [INAUDIBLE] VISTA PERSON WHO IS NEARLY FULL-TIME.
THIS WILL BE BRINGING THAT CAPACITY INTO OUR PROGRAMS FOR THE FUTURE, WHICH IS AMAZING.
WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF ADVANTAGE OF THE VISTA PROGRAM.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT, BUT IT'S TIME FOR US TO BRING THAT CAPACITY AT US INSTEAD [INAUDIBLE] SUPPORT TOO.
IN THAT OPEN SPACE PROGRAM, WE ALSO ASKED TO RECLASSIFY THE EXISTING ONE PERSON TO A SUPERVISOR AND THAT'S BEING RECOMMENDED AS WELL.
THE REST OF THE NUMBERS THAT YOU'LL SEE, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S A LOT MORE THAN JUST TWO POSITIONS AND A RECLASS.
THE REST OF WHAT WE ENDED UP ASKING FOR, IS JUST BASED OPERATIONS.
A LOT OF OUR BASE OPERATION COSTS HAVE GONE UP, JUST LIKE THEY HAVE EVERYWHERE THAT WE USE A LOT OF SERVICE CONTRACTORS.
[01:45:03]
PORTABLE TOILETS IS A BIG ONE FOR A CONTRACTED PERSON, AND WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT IT.WHO WANTS TO GO TO THE PARK AND NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM IF THEY NEED TO? THAT'S BECAUSE WE PROVIDE THOSE, THAT THE CUSTOMERS HAS NEARLY GONE UP TO 75 PERCENT.
IT'S GOTTEN UP A LOT. THAT WAS A BIG COST [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN ANOTHER BIG COST INCREASES OUR CONTRACTS WITH PERSONNEL.
THOUGH WE DO HIRE SEASONAL AND STAFF AS BEST IN OUR COVER'S TEAM AND THOSE COSTS HAVE INCREASED TOO.
JUST TO GO THROUGH THOSE, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR PHYSICIAN IS REALLY SPLIT BETWEEN THE PARK'S CURRENT MAINTENANCE AS A FITNESS CENTER.
THOSE ARE THE PBB PROGRAMS THAT THOSE MOST ALIGN WITH, SO THAT POSITION IS SPLIT.
THERE YOU'LL SEE THAT ONGOING COST.
THEN THE OPEN SPACE POSITION IS SPLIT BETWEEN THREE PROGRAMS. THAT'S THE ONGOING COST THAT YOU CAN SEE THERE IN THE PUBLIC SPACE.
WE ALSO HAVE ASKED FOR THEY WERE AWARDED LAST YEAR 15,000 A ONE-TIME MONEY FOR OUR BASE BUDGET TO INCREASE OUR MAINTENANCE BUDGET IN OPEN SPACE.
THIS YEAR WE ASKED FOR THAT AGAIN.
THE BUDGET TEAM WAS ABLE TO FUND HALF OF THAT AS ONGOING AND THE OTHER HALF WAS ONE TIME.
WE'LL KEEP REQUESTING THAT TO BECOME ONGOING, BUT AS YOU'VE HEARD ALREADY THEY DID A GREAT JOB AT MOVING A LOT OF OUR ONE-TIME REQUEST TO ONGOING BUT WE COULDN'T GET THEM ALL THERE.
WITH THAT, WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
SOMETHING I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE REALIZE IS THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGAGING OUR COMMUNITY IN ALL THAT WE DO.
PARKS APPROPRIATION, OPEN SPACE AND EVENTS, IT'S ALL ABOUT SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AND PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY OF LIFE.
IT HITS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE COUNCIL'S PRIORITIES.
HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE, SAFE AND HEALTHY COMMUNITY, WE MAINTAIN THE FOOTS TRAILS SO WE BRING IN TRANSPORTATION ON TOP OF THAT.
OUR RECREATION CENTERS ARE SAFE HAVENS FOR OUR YOUTH AND OUR OLDER POPULATIONS.
OUR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE HAVE A LOT OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH BENEFITS.
A COUPLE OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, [INAUDIBLE] JUST WANTED TO CALL OUT.
WE ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW ON [INAUDIBLE], PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS.
PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR APRIL 30TH.
WE'RE DOING OUR FIRST IN-PERSON DESIGNS EVENT AT THE OLD PUBLIC WORKS YARD, WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE CALLING FOR A PART OF THE ANNEX.
THAT'LL BE FROM 12-2, SO [INAUDIBLE] PROBABLY COME ON UP.
VICE MAYOR SPEEDS ALREADY AGREED, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TO PROVIDE SOME WELCOMING COMMENTS.
WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE.
ANOTHER PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS THAT YOU'LL BE SEEING SOON IS AN OBSERVATORY MESA TRAIL PLAN.
[NOISE] ALL THAT ACRES THAT WE HAVE ON OBSERVATORY MESA NATURAL AREA, WE HAVE A MINUSCULE AMOUNT OF FORMAL TRAILS.
WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR NEIGHBORING PARTNERS WELL OBSERVED TO PROVIDE THAT FOREST SERVICE, TO DEVELOP A TRAIL PLAN THAT WE'RE HOPING TO GET UP IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC FOR A REVIEW AND COMMENT HERE SOON.
[NOISE] WE ALSO FULLY UNDERSTAND IN THESE ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES THAT WE NEED TO WELCOME AND ENCOURAGE AND INVITE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, SO WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH ROSE TORKI.
SHE'S A MEMBER OF OUR THORPE TEAM [INAUDIBLE] THE ANNEX PROJECT.
ALSO, A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR BRINGING US IN FRONT OF HIS MEETINGS WITH THE INDIGENOUS CIRCLE OF FLAGSTAFF.
WE'VE PRESENTED IT TO THE COMMISSION.
WE ARE ENCOURAGING ROBUST CONVERSATION AMONG THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY AND ENCOURAGING FULL COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION.
ALSO, WANTED TO POINT OUT WE HAVE, HOPEFULLY SOON, YOU WILL SEE A GRANT AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU [INAUDIBLE], THAT HELPS US WITH SAFE INFRASTRUCTURE.
[INAUDIBLE] TRAILS OUT AT BUFFALO PARKS ON THE [INAUDIBLE] TRAIL, EASILY ARE THE MOST HIGHLY USED RECREATION TRAIL IN THE ENTIRE CITY, PROBABLY OUR MOST POPULAR PARK AS WELL.
[01:50:04]
MAYBE A STATE GRANT, WE'LL BE WORKING TO MAKE THAT TRAIL MORE ACCESSIBLE WITH A DIFFERENT TRAIL MIX.[LAUGHTER] IT'S NOT THE RIGHT PHRASE [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING].
THE TRAIL SURFACE WILL BE MORE ACCESSIBLE.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PAVED, BUT IT WILL COMPACT MORE DENSELY AND THE [INAUDIBLE] SOME OF THE GRADES.
WE'LL ALSO IMPROVE SOME OF THE EXERCISE STATIONS OUT THERE AND PROVIDE DISABLED PARKING AND A SAFE ENTRY WHERE THOSE THAT ARE DISABLED GET TO THE PARK.
NEXT SLIDE. AS I ALREADY SAID, OUR REC CENTERS PROVIDE A SAFE SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY, THE OBJECTS IN THE CENTER WHILE SMALL, IT IS MIGHTY.
IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY USE A [INAUDIBLE] OF OUR COMMUNITY.
THEY KNOW THEY COULD GO OUT THERE, THEY CAN ALWAYS GO TALK TO CRYSTAL AND SHE IS ALWAYS [LAUGHTER] READY TO TALK AND THEY CAN ALWAYS TALK TO TYLER.
THEY'VE GOT SOMEONE THERE, IF THEY NEED THAT AND MAKING CONNECTS, DAMAGE RESOURCES AS NEEDED.
IS ANYTHING WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE TOYA CENTER.
IT'S A SAFE PLACE. PEOPLE COME IN AND THEY HANG OUT, THEY GET CONNECTED TO THE RESOURCES.
THERE'S ALSO THE CONGREGATE MEAL, THAT'S SERVED THERE WITH OUR PARTNERS [INAUDIBLE].
THE RECREATION CENTERS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
THEN OF COURSE, AS WE'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, OUR OUTDOOR SPACES HAVE BECOME MORE ESSENTIAL THAN EVER, ESPECIALLY TO OUR COMMUNITY AND SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
WE WORK VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN THEM AND APPLY INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS WHERE WE CAN.
WE KEEP EVERYTHING AS SAFE AND ACTIVELY AS POSSIBLE.
I HAVE ONE MORE SLIDE BUT IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, OUR LAST SLIDE PLEASE CHRIS.
[LAUGHTER] IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP IS IN OUR REPORT AND I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT.
>> I'M WONDERING AS ALMOST BROUGHT THE SUBJECTS CLASS PRESENTATION REGARDS TO THE STREETS, BUT [INAUDIBLE] SIDEWALKS ARE ADJACENT TO THE HIERARCHY TRAVELED.
BY A BEAUTIFUL TRAVELER IN GENERAL.
SO LIKE YESTERDAY, I DROVE MY BIKE HOME AND I TOOK [INAUDIBLE] BIKE LANE IT'S CLEAR AND THAT'S AWESOME.
BUT THE SIDEWALK, THIS [INAUDIBLE], IT SAYS SOMETHING THAT, [INAUDIBLE] ANYTHING.
I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH REGARDS TO WHO'S RESPONSIBLE THIS TIME, I JUST FEEL BAD FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE THAT ARE FORCED TO WATCH, BECAUSE IT SEEMS SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS [INAUDIBLE]
>> IT IS DANGEROUS COUNCILMEMBER SHIVANI.
BUT THOSE SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE IS OF THE PRIVATE RESIDENTS OR THE BUSINESS OWNER.
PARKS DOES CLEAN THOSE THAT ARE THE CITY MAINTAINED SIDEWALKS, SOME CITY PROPERTIES, WHERE THERE IS AN URBAN TRAIL THAT DOUBLES AS A SIDEWALK.
MAYBE A SOLUTION WOULD BE TO DO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF OUTREACH REGARDING THAT, FOR [INAUDIBLE] CLEAN-UP.
I HAD AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REACH OUT TO ME BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO DO A PEDESTRIAN WALK FOR A FIELD TRIP, AND THEY WERE PRETTY NERVOUS ABOUT SOME OF THE CENTERS THAT ROUTE ON THE SIDEWALKS, ON FORESTS, THAT IS ALL RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT.
DOES PARKS HAVE THE STAFF TO MAINTAIN ALL THOSE MILES OF SIDEWALKS? UNFORTUNATELY, NO.
BUT MAYBE WE GO ABOUT IT FROM A DIFFERENT APPROACH WITH EDUCATION AND SOME OUTREACH TO GET THE COMMUNITY TO HELP US DEAL WITH THIS.
>> MAYBE INCLUDE [INAUDIBLE], SO IF WE LOOKED AT THE HIERARCHY, THE TOP TRAVELED ROUTES, WHICH ISN'T THE WHOLE NETWORK.
>> IS THAT SOMETHING WE HAVE STAFFING ABILITY TO HIT ONCE, TWICE A YEAR?
>> MAYBE. IT MIGHT DEPEND ON HOW MANY MILES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND THE LOCATION OF THEM.
IF IT'S SCATTERED OR IF IT'S NOT.
MAYBE, BUT I THINK WE INDEED DIVE GUIDED INTO THAT.
>> THE REASON I BRING IT UP HERE IN OUR COUNCIL IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT BUDGETING FREE.
THERE'S ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THAT.
I FIRSTLY [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.
[01:55:01]
>> IT WILL DEFINITELY BE A FORM OF CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICE.
WOULD IT TAKE ADDITIONAL LABOR HOURS? YES, SO ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
>> JUST TO ADD TO THAT, JUST LIKE THE REST OF THIS CITY, WE'RE STRUGGLING WITH STAFFING RIGHT NOW.
WITH THE BROAD CAPACITY THAT THEY HAVE, EVEN IF WE ADD DOLLARS TO IT FOR MORE LABOR, IT'S JUST HARD TO GET ANY PLAN RIGHT NOW.
[NOISE] SO WE'RE QUITE HONESTLY, DOING OUR BEST RIGHT NOW AT MAINTAINING WHAT WE HAVE AND MAINTAINING A CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICE, BUT IT'S A STRUGGLE.
>> TO PICK IT UP ON THAT, I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT UP COUNCILMAN SHIVANI.
I GET OCCASIONALLY, E-MAILED AND SENT PICTURES TO OUR CITY MANAGERS AND TO DAN AND SCOTT, INSTANCES WHERE CENTERS ARE OUT OF CONTROL AND BE STATUTE OF PATIENCE ON THAT, AS WELL PAST.
THEY FORWARD THOSE EMAILS OVER [INAUDIBLE].
THAT'S PART OF THE [INAUDIBLE], BUT OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL.
THOSE INFORMATIONAL EMAILS, IT'S USUALLY PLACED [INAUDIBLE] NOT TO NAME NAMES.
[LAUGHTER] BUT THOSE TWO, EITHER SIDE OF THE STREET ON HIKE ENTRY ARE NOTORIOUSLY UNDER-SWEPT, WELL PAST WHAT THEY SHOULD BE.
THOSE ARE HEAVILY UTILIZED SIDEWALKS FOR RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY INCLUDING [INAUDIBLE] ROBERT BUS STOP.
THE CODE OF COURSE WAS PART OF IT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THE FAMILY THAT'S CHARGED WITH OTHER STRETCH AND GROW.
BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS AND JUST A RESOURCE LIMITATIONS STRUGGLED [INAUDIBLE].
PART FOR ME I THINK IS JUST GETTING INTO THE HABIT OF KNOWING WHO THE FREQUENT FLIERS ARE, SO TO SPEAK, AND HAVING A ROUTINE OF REMINDER PHONE CALL AND [INAUDIBLE], IT'S TIME TO DO THIS.
TALK ABOUT SCHOOL CHILDREN WALKING THROUGH THERE. [LAUGHTER]
>> FINANCE DOES HABIT, AND OUTREACH AND MARKETING PROGRAM IN THE SPRING AND THEY TYPICALLY START RUNNING ADS FOR SWEEPING OFF SIDEWALKS AND THEY PARTNER WITH STREETS ON TIMING AND STREET SWEEPERS.
YOU GET TO SWEEP YOUR SIDEWALKS OUT ONTO THE STREET AND THEN THE STREET SWEEPERS COME BY AND PICK IT UP.
>> I HATE SIGNALS SWEEPERS GO BY.
THERE'S ALL THIS OTHER STONE SIDEWALK, IT'S WASTED RESOURCE.
>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU BOTH. I HEAR YOU.
THIS IS A QUITE FRUSTRATION THAT THE [INAUDIBLE] BRING OUT.
BUT I APPRECIATE YOU ALL FOR THE WORK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
>> WE SHARED OUR FRUSTRATIONS.
>> THE LAST OF OUR PRESENTATIONS FOR DIVISIONS, THIS ONE IS, DO WE CALL IT NON-DEPARTMENTAL? [BACKGROUND].
>> YES. THOSE WHO ARE HERE FOR IT, ADMIT IT.
NON- DEPARTMENTAL. [APPLAUSE] [BACKGROUND]
>> ANY QUESTIONS? [LAUGHTER] WE'RE ON NON-DEPARTMENTAL, LAST PRESENTATION.
THIS IS A COUPLE OF CATCH-ALL AREAS THAT WE HAVE IN THE ORGANIZATION THAT ARE SPECIFIC FOCUS OF A DIVISION.
IN THESE AREAS, IS WHERE THE CITY COUNCIL BUDGET IS.
WE HAVE INSURANCE IN THIS AREA, SERVICE PARTNER CONTRACTS, AND DEBT SERVICE.
TO NAME A FEW OF THOSE AREAS, WITHIN THIS BUDGET.
FOR THIS YEAR, WE'RE ADDING ABOUT 490,000 TO THE REQUEST FOR THIS AREA.
THE QUARTILES ARE SHOWN HERE, AS FAR AS WHERE THE REQUESTS WERE, AND WHAT WAS APPROVED.
I'LL HAVE TO SAY I APPRECIATE STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY INPUT ON THE QUARTILES AND HOW WE GOT TO THIS PLACE.
[02:00:03]
WE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT TO ALIGN ALL OUR PROGRAMS WITH THE QUARTILE.WE HAVE TWO DOZEN PARTICIPATION THROUGH OUR COMMISSIONS.
SOME MAY NOT LIKE THEIR QUARTILES, BUT, IT WAS AN EXTENSIVE PROCESS.
>> FIRST NO RESPONSE. [OVERLAPPING] WHATEVER RESPONSE.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE A QUARTILE DYSFUNCTION.
IN THE APPROVED BUDGET, THE FIRST ITEM IS THE COUNCIL MEETING AND WORK SESSIONS.
THIS IS A LOT OF COUNCIL DIVISION BUDGETS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.
WE'RE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FUNDING RELATED TO, IMMEDIATE RETRIEVAL NATIONS, TRAVEL EXPENSE, CEREMONIAL FUNDING, AND FOOD BUDGETS, AS WELL AS PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS.
THE BIG NUMBER HERE IS 45,000 INTO THE COUNCIL INITIATIVE FUNDS, FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THROUGH THE YEAR.
IF YOU WANT TO ALLOCATE SOME MOST FUNDS, WE STILL DO THAT, FORTUNATELY WITH THE CURRENT YEAR FUNDING AVAILABLE TOO.
THIS IS OUR AUDIT CONTRACT, AN OUTSIDE SERVICE COMES AND REVIEWS OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND WE GET THAT WONDERFUL AWARD, AFTER WE GET THREE BARS WITH VERY LITTLE COMMENTS.
THE COST OF THE CONTRACT CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND IT BECAME VERY OBSERVANT THIS YEAR, THE MORE GRANTS WE GET, THE MORE WORK THEY NEED TO DO.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF RANDOM AWARDS AND LOTS OF AUDITING WORK TO DO, SO WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN THIS YEAR, BUT IT'S A GOOD THING.
WE'RE BRINGING IN MORE AWARDS INTO THE CITY.
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT. THAT IS THE CONTINUATION OF PRIORITY BASED BUDGETING PROGRAM, AND SERVICE PARTNER CONTRACTS, I WILL TALK ABOUT ON THE COMING SLIDES. NEXT SLIDE.
HERE I JUST WANT TO INTRO, AND I HOPE OUR FRIENDS IN THE CROW'S NEST ARE LISTENING IN THIS PIECE.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE A REMINDER THAT THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF CONTRACTS WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGENCIES.
WE DO NOT DONATE OR GIVE GIFTS TO ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR CITY.
WE WORK WITH AGENCIES TO BUY SERVICES THAT THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF WANTS.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE GIFTING. IT'S NOT A GIFT.
WE DON'T JUST GIVE FUNDINGS WITHOUT A PURPOSE FOR THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.
ALLOCATIONS CAN GENERALLY BE INCREASED OR DECREASED WITH OUR EXISTING CONTRACTS WORKING THROUGH A PROCUREMENT.
WE'VE DONE THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
THE NEW FUNDING IS WHAT WE BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL TO CONSIDER IF THERE'S INCREASES.
OF COURSE THAT'S JUST THE FRAMEWORK OF SERVICE PARTNER CONTRACTS AND HERE'S A LIST OF FUNDING THAT WE PROVIDED THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESSING THE CURRENT YEAR.
THUS THE FIRST THREE DOLLARS COLUMNS AND THEN THE NEXT COLUMN IS WHAT IS THE CURRENT CITY MANAGER PROPOSAL FOR THIS YEAR.
WITH OUR SERVICE PARTNER CONTRACTS.
THE LIST OF AGENCIES ARE VERY FAMILIAR.
THERE'S REALLY NOT A LOT OF CHANGE HERE IN THIS SLIDE AS FAR AS WHAT OUR CURRENT CONTRACTS ARE AND THE ALLOCATIONS THAT WE PROVIDE THEM ARE VERY CONSISTENT YEAR FROM YEAR.
THE FIRST SIX OR SO ARE AT THE SAME LEVEL AS WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST.
SOME OF THESE REQUESTS WERE ONETIME REQUEST OR THE ONE WAS THREE YEARS REQUEST FOR THE LAUNCH.
WE'VE COMPLETED THAT THREE-YEAR PROCESS THAT INITIATING A FUNDS WITH THEM.
WE'D MET OUR COMMITMENT THAT WE HAVE AS A CITY OF FLAGSTAFF ASKS YOU DON'T SEE THAT IN THE COMING YEAR.
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, THEY HAVE REQUESTED FUNDS IN THE PAST.
WE'LL SEE THAT ON THE NEXT SLIDE.
THEY HAVE ALSO COME BACK TO REQUEST FUNDS THIS YEAR ALSO.
THE CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT AS FAR AS OF DOLLAR MOST ALLOCATED FOR PROBABLY THE LAST 5,10 YEARS, THERE REALLY HASN'T BEEN MANY INCREASES IN THESE CONTRACTS.
NEXT SLIDE. IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY TO BRING FORTH SOME COMMUNITY REQUESTS DURING THE YEAR, DURING THE BUDGET CYCLE, WE DO GET SOME OUTSIDE REQUEST TO PROVIDE FUNDING.
THESE ARE ITEMS THAT THE CITY'S BUDGET TEAM DOES NOT ALLOCATED FUNDS FOR.
[02:05:03]
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN CONTINUING WITH THIS ONE CONCAVITIES IN THE PARKING LOT FOR CONVERSATION OR DURING THIS PROCESS OF BFS AND TIME.JUST FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER IF YOU WANT TO MOVE IN THESE DIRECTIONS.
FIRST OFFICE. SURE. I GOT THE RIGHT OVER HERE.
THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR WE'RE LOOKING FOR FUNDING FOR THIS YEAR.
WE'VE BEEN PARTNERING WITH THE SOUTHSIDE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
THEY DID THE INITIAL AUSTRIAN TO YOU PLANNING ANOTHER IMPLEMENTING MANY IL-6 WAS STRATEGIC PLAN.
THE STRATEGIC PLAN 50 PERCENT OF BACK IN THE FALL OF 2020.
THE NEXT ITEM IS THE CATS MOBILE OUTREACH BUS.
THIS REQUEST THAT CAME TO ME AND JUST TO BACKUP EVERY REQUEST IS IN THE COUNCIL PACKET.
STAFF SUMMARY EXCEPT FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, WHICH I JUST SENT TO YOU BECAUSE I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THAT ONE EARLIER.
THE COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE TEAM OR CATS OF FLAGSTAFF ARE REQUESTING OPERATIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE MOBILE OUTREACH SLASH DAY DROP IN BUS.
NOTE, THEY HAVE OTHER ITEMS WITHIN THE REQUESTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY VETTED BY CITY STAFF OR LEGAL AS FAR AS THE ADDITIONAL ASKED THEY HAVE WITHIN THE LETTER.
THOSE WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE VETTED BY OUR TEAM IF WE CONTINUE AND HAVE PARTNERSHIP HERE.
NEXT UP IS HIGH COUNTRY HUMANE.
THIS IS A CONTRACT THAT ACTUALLY THE COUNTY HAS WITH HIGH COUNTRY HUMANE AND WE ARE AN IGA WITH THE COUNTY TO PROVIDES SERVICES ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.
I THINK THIS IS GOING INTO OUR THIRD YEAR.
THE COUNTY IS A WHOLE LOT OF CONTRACT AND THEY DO A LOT OF NEGOTIATION, BUT THEY BRING US IN, INVOLVE US IN THAT NEGOTIATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
I DO HAVE AN UPDATED ESTIMATE ON THIS.
CURRENTLY THE COUNTY MAYBE CONSIDERING THE CONTRACT WHICH WILL INCREASE THE CITY'S CONTRIBUTION BY 124,500.
THERE'S MORE INFORMATION WE WANT TO TALK WITH COUNCIL IN THE COMING WEEK ABOUT THE SERVICE AND WHAT WE'RE GETTING PROVIDED AT THE HUMANE SOCIETY AND WE'LL HAVE THAT IN THE UPCOMING IT UP A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
WE RECEIVED COUNCIL PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR THE FLAGSTAFF GRAILS INITIATIVE BACK IN 2019.
THIS IS ONE THAT, AS YOU RECALL, CAME TO COUNSEL BACK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR AND YOU ALLOCATE AS SOME OF YOUR COUNCIL INITIATIVE FUNDINGS, WHICH WE WENT THROUGH UNITED WAY FOR THEM TO HAVE A PROCESS TO PROVIDE A SERVICE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
WE DIRECT AS $77,500 LAST YEAR.
THIS YEAR REQUEST IS BETWEEN THE 5 AND 10,000.
THAT NUMBER FITS KIND OF LICENSE.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT. THAT REQUEST CAME FORWARD AGAIN.
ELEVATE PRE-K IS A NEW DISCIPLINE THAT CAME FORWARD TO US AS A REQUEST.
THEIR FOCUS IS ON IMPROVING QUALITY AND ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY EARLY LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR CHILDREN.
THEY'RE REQUESTING SUPPORT FOR A COMMUNITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATED TO DELIVERING COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THE LOWER AGE CHILDREN.
THEY'RE LOOKING TO LEVERAGE OUR FUNDING ALONG WITH COUNTY FUNDING AND A FOUNDATION FUNDING TO DO MORE.
THE NEXT ITEM IS THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
INITIALLY, WE DIDN'T HAVE NO REQUESTS.
WE DID RECEIVE THAT THIS WEEK.
IN THE PAST, THEY'VE REQUESTED ABOUT 50,000.
WE'VE PROVIDED 25,000 FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.
WE ARE IN THE LAST YEAR OF THAT CONTRACT.
WE'VE HAD A 10-YEAR PARTNERSHIP THAT IS AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT.
WE ARE NEGOTIATING WITH THEM A LEASE AGREEMENT TO CONTINUE AT THE COCKTAIL REC CENTER.
WE HAVEN'T DETERMINE THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS WITH THAT CONTRACT YET, BUT I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE REQUESTING NOW MAY BE IN THAT RANGE OF WHAT MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE CONTRACT GOING FORWARD AND THAT LEASE AGREEMENT.
IT'S BEEN A GOOD 10-YEAR PARTNERSHIP THERE.
THEN WE ALSO RECEIVED A WESTERN ROLL-UPS FOR OBSERVATORY.
THEY ARE TRYING TO DELIVER A ASTRONOMY DISCOVERY CENTER.
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROJECT THAT ARE DOING THE MESA OF A LOA OBSERVATORY.
THEY'RE LOOKING TO DELIVER A $50 MILLION FACILITY TO HELP WITH SCIENCE STEMS EDUCATION RELATED TO THE SCIENCE AND THE STARS AND BRINGING NOT ONLY THAT SCIENCE FOCUSED AT THE CITY HAS HAD A FOCUS WITH OUR SOCIETY GRANTS,
[02:10:04]
AS WELL AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT IN A TOURISM ATTRACTION.THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING AT AS THEY WANTED TO LEVERAGE FUNDING WITH THE STATE.
THE STATE HAS RPA MONIES FOR THE REST OF THE PLANT MICE.
THEY'RE HOPING TO MAYBE GET SOME SUPPORT FROM THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF THROUGH A LETTER AND EVEN MATCH IT FLAGS TO HELP THEM SEEK OUT THAT STATE FUNDING THAT THEY MAKE TO CONSIDER IT.
I BELIEVE THAT'S THE LAST SLIDE.
THAT RIGHT. CLARICE, SKIP QUESTIONS.
I WAS GOING TO GO WITH WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO GET INTO THE PARKING LOT, PARTICULARLY FROM THIS LIST AND I'M GOING TO SAY THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF THE IDEA THERE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US HELP WITH THE OBEYED PRE-K PLANNING THAT'S DOCUMENTED.
IT HELPS US LEVERAGE STATES AS WELL, SO YOU GET A CHILD EDUCATION.
THEY ALSO DO HOPEFULLY ERADICATING SOMEWHAT A 100 PERCENT POVERTY LEVELS IN THE CITY.
THIS IS WHAT THE GROUP THAT DOESN'T MAKE THE HEAD-START PROGRAM, WHICH IS THE LOVABLE OR LESS AND IT'S REALLY A KEY FOR OUR FIRST DEVELOPMENT, THOSE SAVINGS.
THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB ARE LOOKING TO HAVE IT AS PART OF THEIR LEAST WRITTEN INTO IT.
THAT'S WHERE THE CONSIDERATION WILL BECAUSE THAT IS LIKE THERE'S ONE ANOTHER CITY.
I'M GOOD WITH WHOLE OBSERVATORY.
THE AMOUNT OF I'M NOT SURE OF THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEEK PARTNERS WITH ALL OF THESE THINGS INCLUDING THE COUNTY AND PRINT TOUCHING.
THE TRAILS INITIATIVE, I THINK GONE THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY COUNCIL INITIATIVE, THIS YEAR JUST LIKE WE DID BEFORE AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT WE STILL HAVE ABOUT 23,000 OR SOMETHING TO THAT A LITTLE OVER 20,000.
YEAH, I DID SET NUMBER FOUR HERE.
I KNOW WE'VE USED SOME FOR THE COVID.
RED KNIGHT ADVISOR, I DON'T THINK WE'VE TOUCHED OTHERWISE.
THERE SHOULD BE FUN. THAT'LL BE ALSO ACTUALLY ACCIDENT.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT'D BE GOOD UNDERTAKING PARKING LOT, BUT DOING THAT IN A SEPARATE CASE OF COUNCIL'S SUPPORT.
I HADN'T MENTIONED THE CATS MOBILE OUTREACH BUS CONSIDERATION BUT AGAIN, I WANT TO SEE WHAT COUNTY MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN TALKING TO, PARTNER WITH A LOT OF THESE FUN THINGS.
IT'S NOT ON THE CURRENT BACK. ANYWAYS,.
WE HAVE RUN FOR LAST YEAR SHOWING HER SERVICES, BUT THAT GOT ZEROED OUT FOR NEXT YEAR.
IS THAT BECAUSE MONEY IS COMING FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE OR? EXPLAIN THAT PLEASE.
THE CITY IS MAKING A GREAT STRIDES AND WORKING WITH SHELTER SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
WE ARE PROVIDING A LOT OF FUNDING THROUGH OUR CARPET FUNDS TO HELP ENHANCE THOSE EVEN BEATS.
THE BUDGET TEAM THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD BE A BETTER FOCUS OF FUNDING AS WELL AS OUR CDBG FUNDING THAT YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT RECENTLY.
WE DIDN'T THINK WE SHOULDN'T BE HOLDING OTHER GENERAL FUND MONEY.
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT CHILDREN'S SERVICES THROUGH DIFFERENT AVENUES? YES.
I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY [INAUDIBLE] I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE SOMETHING I SAID A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL THROUGH OUR WARRANTED THOUSAND DOLLARS, LIFESTYLE SHOPPING SERVICES, CARBON, YOU GUYS SHUFFLED AROUND.
I DO THINK THAT THEY SPECIFICALLY, I DON'T KNOW.
>> I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER BUT I WAS DOING SOME MATH WHEN WE WERE HAVING A PRESENTATION WITH BOTH AQUA FUNDING AND CDBG PASS-THROUGH FUNDING ON THIS.
I THINK THE AMOUNT GOING TO THE FLAGSTAFF SHELTER SERVICES HAS BEEN SEVERAL $100,000.
[INAUDIBLE] WE CAN DIAL IN THAT NUMBER, BUT THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY FUNDING THAT COUNCIL APPROVED THAT WAS $100,000 AND WE SUPPLEMENTED THAT WITH $50,000 OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND, [NOISE] THAT WAS JUST O BACK FILL LOSSES OCCURRED BECAUSE OF A LOT OF
[02:15:07]
EXPENSES TO PROVIDE SHELTER DURING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.THEN THERE WAS MONEY ALLOCATED THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCESS.
I BELIEVE THEY, ALONG WITH ANOTHER SHELTER, ALSO BENEFITED FROM THE EMERGENCY FUND.
I THINK THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT ALLOCATION FROM THAT COMPETITIVE PROCESS AND THEN THE CDBG MONEY.
DON'T QUOTE ME ON THE NUMBER, BUT I THINK WE'RE INTO THE SEVERAL $100,000.
>> SORRY. I'LL JUST NOTE THAT TWO WEEKS AGO WE DID WITH THE CDBG, AUTHORIZED $275,000 SPECIFICALLY FOR [INAUDIBLE] HOUSING PROGRAM.
[NOISE] THE OTHER NUMBERS I CAN'T SPEAK TO BUT I WAS JUST PULLING THAT BACK FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT THAT'S WHERE THAT WIDE SHARE OF CDBG FUNDS ARE GOING.
>> CAN I FOLLOW UP? I CERTAINLY TRAVEL AROUND, [INAUDIBLE] CITY'S EXAMPLE.
I SEE BOTH STREETS PEOPLE SHOPPING ON THE STREETS, THEY DON'T ALLOW THAT IN [INAUDIBLE].
THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT SAME COIN IS THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE SOMEWHERE FOR PEOPLE TO SLEEP WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO SLEEP.
WE COULD EITHER LET THE PEOPLE START SLEEPING ON THE STREET OR WE NEED TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE [INAUDIBLE] AND I SUPPORT ALTERNATIVES.
I THINK THE MESSAGE I'M TRYING TO CONVEY IS WE'RE DOING IT.
>> WERE DOING THAT? OKAY. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.
>> [INAUDIBLE] IN THE CHAT BOX RIGHT NOW HAS PUT THAT SHE BELIEVES THE TOTAL PUBLIC SERVICE SALARIES DEPARTMENT, CDBG [INAUDIBLE] COSTS $311,000 PLUS $250,000 CONSTRUCTION AT THE NEW MOTEL.
THERE'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR HOUSING ASSISTANCE PUBLIC FUNDS WITH THE [INAUDIBLE].
>> JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S TRUE.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE DOLLARS OUT TO THE COMMUNITY BUT WE DO HAVE PRACTICES TO FOLLOW IN COMPETITIVE NATURE.
WE NEVER SAID WE'RE SPECIFICALLY PUMPING AN AGENCY BUT IT ISN'T THAT POT OF MONEY THAT WE WILL FOCUS TO GET IT INTO THOSE HIGH NEEDS.
>> WELL AS CHARLESTON WE DID COMMIT $400,000, TO SHELTER SERVICES, FIVE-STEP SHELTER SERVICES.
THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. I JUST WANT TO SAY FOR THE RECORD THAT I DO [INAUDIBLE] THAT WILL SPECIFICALLY SERVICES IN NUMBER, [NOISE] FRACTION OF TOTAL UNSHELTERED POPULATION.
THE FUNDING THAT GOES TO FLEX THAT SHELTER SERVICES SHOULD BE PROPORTIONAL TO THE NUMBER OF WARM BODIES THAT ARE [INAUDIBLE] THERE ARE THE BIG [INAUDIBLE].
WE SHOULD BE PROVIDING THE RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED FOR THIS ASSESSMENT.
THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT SOME OF THESE OTHER SHELTER SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS WILL ALSO DESERVE FUNDING AND COULDN'T EXPECT [INAUDIBLE].
THIS IS REALLY JUST A QUESTION ABOUT THE [INAUDIBLE]. [NOISE] THANK YOU.
>> I JUST WANT TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF CLARITY TO WHAT COUNCIL AND NON-RESIDENTS MENTIONED.
I DO REMEMBER THAT $254,000 OUR COMMITMENT.
AT THE TIME TWO YEARS AGO WHEN, AND I WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN CONNECTING THAT SHELTER SERVICES WITH [INAUDIBLE] IN TOWN.
THAT TREE BASICALLY WHERE WE HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE SHELTER AND WE SCRAMBLED OVER ONE SUNDAY MORNING TO CONNECT PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE MOTELS.
HOWEVER, THEY'RE NOT FUNDING FROM THE STATUS OF THE STATE.
IT DID NOT COME THROUGH FOR PROVIDING THE [INAUDIBLE] OFF EMERGENCY MUCH HELP SHELTER TO THE CLIENTS.
[02:20:05]
THAT'S ACTUALLY ABSURD, AS I SAID.PEOPLE NEED, I THINK MY MEMORY'S CORRECT, AFFIRMING THAT COMMITMENT FROM TWO YEARS AGO.
>> THEY'RE VERY MUCH COMMITTING, BUMPING UP A LOT OF RESOURCES.
THEY DESERVE THAT RESOURCE ALLOCATION ACKNOWLEDGED.
>> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, DID YOU SAY THAT [INAUDIBLE] WOULD BE ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL [INAUDIBLE]?
>> THEY'VE ASKED FOR A MUCH BIGGER NUMBER FOR THAT WHOLE CONTRACT.
THE PORTION FOR THE CITY, BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION WITH ACCOUNTING, WE'RE STILL NEGOTIATION, TALKING THIS. $124,000 IN ADDITION.
>> IF WE GO TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, PLEASE.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE COUNTY FUNDING IS FOR THEM, BECAUSE THERE'S [INAUDIBLE]? I KNOW THEY'RE STILL WORKING TO LEVERAGE [INAUDIBLE].
I REALLY APPRECIATE BECAUSE THE ACCOUNTS WERE A MESS.
[02:26:28]
>> I KNOW THE NEED BUT IN TERMS OF 292,000 LINE ITEMS.
[02:33:34]
>> AN OUTCOMES-BASED APPROACH.
>> YES. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHAT OTHER FUNDING ARE THEY TRYING TO LEVERAGE? WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO RECEIVE GRANTS, HAVE THEY RECEIVED GRANTS? I JUST FEEL LIKE I NEED MORE INFORMATION TOO.
>> IS THAT AN OUTCOME FOR HIGH COUNTRY THAT IS TO HAVE THEM COME AND PRESENT? THEY DID SUBMIT A PACKET.
IT WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND I KNOW WE ROUTED THAT.
WE MIGHT NEED TO DUST THAT OFF TO GET THAT, BUT IF IT'S COUNCIL'S DESIRE, WE CAN HAVE THEM COMING IN AND PRESENT TO YOU.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF PRESENTATION IS THE BEST.
I'LL LET THE [INAUDIBLE] DECIDE IT.
I DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM ON THE SPOT TOO MUCH, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO JUST GET THE INFORMATION.
IF IT'S AN EMAIL, BUT [INAUDIBLE].
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, EMAIL THE FINANCIAL REPORT THAT THEY SENT OR A LITTLE EXPLANATION ON WHERE THIS IS GOING AND JUST A REPORT BACK, I THINK COMPLETING THE [OVERLAPPING] PRESENTATION IS NECESSARY.
BUT I'M IN AGREEMENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING THESE LARGER NUMBERS, WE NEED THE ACCOUNT FOR THAT PUBLIC RESOURCE. I'LL SHARE IT CANDIDLY.
I EXPRESSED THIS AS MUCH TO THEM WHEN THE REQUEST CAME IN.
I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A HARD SELL.
THE COUNCIL PRESENT THIS AS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE.
I'M ALSO GOING TO FILTER THIS INFORMATION.
WE'RE JUST BRINGING IT BACK TO YOU.
ON THIS ONE, WE WILL SUPPLEMENT WITH THE DETAILED FINANCIAL AND EXPLAINING WHERE THE INCREASED MONIES ARE GOING TO GO.
[02:35:01]
I THINK WE CAN ADD A FEW MORE QUESTIONS TO THAT BECAUSE THIS WOULDN'T BE EXPECTED TO ENDURE FOR SOME TIME.WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY, A THREE-WAY INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT.
IF THERE WAS A DESIRE TO DO THIS, IT PRESUPPOSES AN AMENDMENT TO THAT CONTRACT, I THINK WE WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE COUNTY IS DISTRIBUTING TOO AS WELL.
WE WILL DO THAT AND WE CAN HAVE THAT AS AN OUTCOME FOR HIGH COUNTRY HUMANE SOCIETY.
>> [INAUDIBLE]. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO STATE FOR THE RECORD TOO THAT I HAD ALWAYS INVESTING CONSERVATORY.
RICK, I MAKE UP THE SPACE HOW YOU SHOULD DO, YOU SAID THIS AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS.
I ASSUME WHAT'S GOING OUT THERE IS JUST CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE BOOMING AND GETTING AWAY FROM THE MIDDLE.
THEY'RE TRYING TO STAY ON A TARGET AND KEEP BUILDING THIS THING.
IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE GET THAT ALL SUBMITTED TO ACCOUNT OF FLAGSHIP PREMIER OF TOURISM.
[INAUDIBLE] FLAGSTAFF UNSCHEDULED.
IS 50,000 WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR AND THEY DON'T WANT MORE THAN THAT? BECAUSE THERE'S JOB [OVERLAPPING], TOPIC AND SAY FOR THE RECORD, I FULLY SUPPORT MAYBE THAT NEXT YEAR.
THIS TYPE DOES, I BELIEVE, REPRESENT 29 FUNDING. YOU'RE SPOT ON.
THE CONSTRUCTION COST UP THERE HAD BEEN BALLOONING.
THEY'RE DOING WELL WITH THE PROJECT.
AS WE UNDERSTAND, THIS IS TO LEVERAGE DOLLARS FROM THE STATE.
THEY HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY THE STATE ASKING WHAT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT WAS DOING THERE AS WELL.
JUST AS WE DO WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTS, WE'RE ALWAYS ASKING WHAT'S THE MATCH? THE STATE'S DOING THE SAME.
THIS, AS I UNDERSTAND, IT WILL HELP THEM PURSUE RATHER SIGNIFICANT APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE STATE FOR THIS PROJECT AND I THINK GOING INTO THIS IS A LOT OF ENDOWMENT, A LOT OF DONATIONS FROM NOT MANY PEOPLE SUPPORTING THE OBSERVATORY.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT BECAUSE THE STATE HAS LOT OF ARPA FUNDS, SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCESS.
SO THEY WILL NEED A LITTLE SHOW OF SUPPORT.
I'M ALSO IN SUPPORT OF ALLOCATING THIS, BUT I WILL ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF 50,000 IS ALL.
GIVEN THAT THIS IS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO ACCESS, IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE FOR US PUTTING DOWN 50,000 AND 40,000 NEARLY GOING TO MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE FOR THEIR SELVES AND THE STATE THAT IT SHOULD BE MILLIONS.
I DEFINITELY WANT TO DO THIS, BUT 50,000, WE MAY BE ABLE TO MARK IT DOWN JUST A BIT AND STILL SHOW OUR SUPPORT.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A MEMBER UP THERE.
THEY ASKED ME, IF WE GO AS HIGH AS 50,000 IN THEIR SUPPORT.
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO ANY HIGHER THAN THAT, BUT THAT WAS CLEARLY THEIR CAP SO DEFINITELY FLUCTUATES IN THAT. THANK YOU.
>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LAW.
[LAUGHTER] NOBODY SAID THAT, SO I THOUGHT I WAS- [OVERLAPPING]
>> I DID. I DON'T THINK YOU ASKED ME, I APOLOGIZE.
[OVERLAPPING] COUNCIL MEMBER ASKED THE QUESTION, SO I DIVIDED THIS DISCUSSION TO GO INTO THE LAW.
>> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.
MY QUESTION IS [INAUDIBLE] MONEY YOU GAVE, IS THIS COMING OUT OF THE BBB, OR ARE THEY ASKING MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.
I MIGHT FEEL VERY DIFFERENTLY ABOUT BBB MONEY VERSUS GENERAL FUND MONEY.
THAT'S ALWAYS ROTATING [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT SPENDING BBB MONEY BECAUSE THOSE MONIES ARE ALLOCATED FOR CERTAIN THINGS LIKE PARTS AND SERVICE.
WHEREAS GENERAL FUND, TO ME THAT'S A LOT HARDER TO SELL.
>> YES, WE HAD ANOTHER CHANCE TO REALLY LOOK AT WHERE THAT FUNDING SOURCE WILL COME FROM.
THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT LATER PAST AFTER WE HAD A BUDGET OPERATION.
BUT ABSOLUTELY THIS DOESN'T FIT IN THOSE NEXUS OF BBBS.
THE ARTS AND SCIENCES IS DEFINITELY A GOOD NEXUS FOR THIS TYPE OF FUNDING IN THAT TYPE OF FACILITY.
SO WE'LL LOOK AT THAT BEFORE WE CLOSE.
ONE MORE REMAINING ISSUE, BBB FOR INSTANCE GO THROUGH CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND WE ASKED FOR RECOMMENDATION FROM COMMISSIONS ON HOW THESE BBB FUNDS SHOULD BE ALLOCATED.
I GUESS MY QUESTION AND I DON'T NEED AN ANSWER TODAY,
[02:40:02]
BUT HAS THIS GONE THROUGH COMMISSIONS AND HAVE THEY RECOMMENDED THIS AND IF NOT, WHY NOT?>> THE ANSWER IS NO AND THE WHY NOT IS TIMING.
AS MR. TYLER INDICATED, THIS CAME TO OUR ATTENTION WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS.
WE WERE TOLD TO GET IT INTO PACKET.
THEY WERE VERY RESPONSIVE TO THAT.
THIS WOULD COME SEE IT WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF TIME TO HAVE IT EMBEDDED WITH THE COMMISSION.
WE CERTAINLY WILL CIRCLE BACK TO THE COMMISSION.
[OVERLAPPING] BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE AFTER THE FACT.
>> I WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT A LETTER BUT MONEY IS LIKE IT'S A SEPARATE ISSUE.
>> SINCE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC AND WE'VE HEARD FROM A COUPLE OF COUNCIL PEOPLE ON THIS, MAYBE WE CAN JUST GAUGE WHERE COUNCIL IS AS A WHOLE.
WHAT I CLAIM THUS FAR IS, YES ON THE MONEY, BUT SOMETHING THAT'S 50,000 WHATEVER IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE PURPOSE.
>> TWENTY FIVE, 30. LOT OF THE TIME WE GET AN ANSWER THAT ARE NOT GREAT ENOUGH, SO IT'LL BE CLOSE TO 25.
>> ASSUMING THAT IT GOES THROUGH, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF IT ASSUMING THAT IT'S BBB FUNDS.
>> I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE 2538 EITHER WAY.
I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS IS MORE LIKE A SYMBOLIC.
SPEAKING OF MODELS, THIS IS LIKE A SYMBOLIC CONTRIBUTION BECAUSE 50 MILLION PLUS PROJECT AND WE'LL START BEING A PRIVATE ENTITY IS SEEKING STATE AND EVEN FEDERAL DOLLARS AND EVEN FROM PHILANTHROPIC AGENCIES WHERE ALTHOUGH PROBLEM MATCH, EACH CITY IS ACTUALLY ENCHANTED.
I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT AT 50 IF POSSIBLE, BUT I'M WILLING TO THINK OF A LITTLE BIT LOWER.
AGAIN, THIS IS LOWELL'S TERRITORY.
IT'S THE ONLY PLACE IN THE REGION FROM THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE TO HAVE THIS FACILITY AND IT GETS [INAUDIBLE].
[OVERLAPPING] YES, IT'S GOING TO TAKE IT TO STELLAR RECOGNITION AS A DESTINATION FOR SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION.
>> IT CAN BE MOVED TO THE SHELTER?
>> THE TAKEAWAY HERE IS YES, ON THE LETTER IN THIS FUNDING.
I BELIEVE THERE'S MAJORITY VIEWPOINT THAT IT SHOULD BE LESS THAN 50,000 AND CERTAINLY A WELL-ARTICULATED VIEWPOINT THAT IT SHOULD BE 50.
WE'RE GOING TO WRAP UP AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH ALL OF THESE.
I WILL INVITE YOU JUST TO LOOK UP.
YOU'LL HAVE A SECOND CHANCE TO REVISIT THESE NUMBERS. WE'LL JUST GO THROUGH IT.
YES, I'M GOING TO FLAGSTAFF SHELTER AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER, WE WILL RETURN TO BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AND THERE WILL BE OTHER THINGS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS.
I ASKED KRISTINE, WHO WAS VERY HELPFUL IN THE CHAT, IF SHE COULD INFORM US ON WHAT HAS BEEN EXPENDED IN THE CURRENT YEAR EXPENDITURE FOR FLAGSTAFF SHELTER JUST SO WE HAVE A GOOD INFORMED DISCUSSION, RECOGNIZING THERE HAS BEEN MANY COSTS OF MONEY AND THE AMOUNT THAT HAD GONE INTO THIS.
KRISTINE, ARE YOU AVAILABLE TO DO THAT?
>> I AM, YES. I WAS ABLE TO JUST TALLY THE FUNDS THAT FLAGSTAFF SHELTER SERVICES HAS RECEIVED SINCE 2020.
I JUST MADE A QUICK SPREADSHEETS.
THE YEAR 2020 TO 2022 IN CDBG AND ARPA ALREADY SPENT FUNDS.
THAT WAS CDBG 2020/2021, AND THAT INCLUDES ALL THE FUNDS THAT WE GOT FROM THE CARES ACT.
THE CDBGCV, WHICH CAME IN TWO DIFFERENT ALLOCATIONS.
ALL OF THOSE FUNDS ARE SPENT EXCEPT FOR $20,000 THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE USING FOR THEIR FRONT DOOR PROGRAM AND THEY'LL BE BUILDING FORWARD FOR THOSE FUNDS AS OPPOSED TO BACKWARD.
ALL THE OTHER FUNDS WERE BUILT BACK SO THEY WERE ABLE TO BILL US FOR COST ALREADY INCURRED.
MOTEL COSTS THAT THEY HAD STACKED UP THAT THEY WERE HOPING FEMALE WOULD REIMBURSE THEM FOR.
[02:45:01]
THAT COMBINED WITH THE 311,000 THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED OR WILL RECEIVE FROM THE RPA FUNDS AND THE EMERGENCY, NON-DEPARTMENTAL FUNDS, I DIDN'T DO THE MATH ON THAT.THEY HAVE SPENT $150,000 OF THAT RPA MONEY AND THEN THEY WILL GET A CONTRACT FOR THE $135,000 COMING IN MAY AFTER WE COME TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
THEN WE ALSO ALLOCATED JUST THE OTHER NIGHT, 25,000 IN CDBG FUNDS, WHICH THEY WILL RECEIVE WHEN HUD APPROVES THAT IN OCTOBER OF 2022.
THEN THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE $250,000 FOR THEIR MOTEL RENOVATIONS.
OF THE RPA EMERGENCY FUNDS THAT THEY RECEIVED THEY'VE SPENT ALL OF IT EXCEPT FOR $4,000 JUST FROM BACK BILLING HOTEL EXPENSES, BUT AT THIS POINT THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO BE BILLING US FORWARD.
I'M SURE THAT THERE ARE PROBABLY MOTEL EXPENSES THAT THEY ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR OUT OF THEIR GENERAL FUNDS OR OUT OF OTHER GRANT FUNDS THAT THEY'VE RECEIVED.
BUT AS FAR AS EXPENSES FOR MOTELS ELIGIBLE FOR THAT GRANT, THEY HAVE BILLED US THE MAX THAT THEY HAVE AVAILABLE.
I'M NOT SAYING THEY DON'T STILL NEED FUNDS, BUT JUST TO EXPLAIN THAT NOW THEY'RE BILLING US FOR COSTS MOVING FORWARD AS OPPOSED TO COSTS FROM 2021 AND 2020.
THEN THEY ALSO RECEIVED AN EMERGENCY ALLOCATION OF $10,000 IN THE SPRING OF 2020, THAT I THINK WAS JUST COUNCIL DISCRETIONARY FUNDS.
THEN IN 2020 THEY ALSO RECEIVED $25,000 FOR THEIR OVERFLOW SHELTER PROGRAMS. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE FUNDING THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SHELTER SINCE 2020, WE'RE AT OVER $1.5 MILLION, WITH ABOUT $430,000 LEFT FOR THEM TO SPEND STILL.
ANOTHER QUESTION THEN, BUT WITH THE RPA FUNDS THAT WE ALLOCATED LAST OCTOBER, YOU JUST CONTRACTED WITH THE UNITED WAY TO HELP DISCUSS SOME OF THAT.
THAT WAS $400,000 IN ADDITION TO THIS $400,000 THAT THEY COULD ACCESS THAT WAS DESIGNATED FOR RAPID REHOUSING AND AN ADDITIONAL $1.9 MILLION FOR THE GENERAL APPLICANT FOR HOUSING, THAT THEY HAD OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS.
SO ADDITIONAL $2.3 MILLION THAT HAS BEEN SENT TO [INAUDIBLE].
>> WHEN WE DO RELEASE A NOFA THIS SUMMER, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR THOSE FUNDS FOR ANY HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, REALLY.
>> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A QUESTION. THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL. SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE DOING WELL.
I'M SURE THERE'S MORE THAT CAN BE DONE AND ALWAYS BUT CUSTOMERS HAVE ASKED I GUESS, CURIOUS WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THIS BUDGET CYCLE.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN A GOOD PLACE? ACCORDING TO PROFESSOR'S NUMBERS, DO YOU FEEL LIKE [INAUDIBLE]?
LEADERSHIPS SUPPORT THE LIKES OF SOCIAL SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND PRESENTLY.
I JUST WANT TO GIVE A VOICE TO THOSE CONCERNS.
THE BIGGEST PROVIDER WE HAVE TO DO A GREAT JOB.
THEY'VE GOT A BRICK AND MORTAR OPERATION OF GARDENING.
ANYTHING WE DO TO CONTINUE TO PUT THIS WORK OUT IS, JUST MOMENTUM BUILDING, AND MONEY WHILST.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS STAY STRONG AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FULLY REALIZE THE COMMITMENT THAT I THINK WE CAN FOR $400,000.
PART OF THAT UNDERSTANDING IS EVERYBODY'S REALLY EAGER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE URGENT AND THE FEMORAL OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE WITH ALL THESE HURDLES [INAUDIBLE].
THEY'VE WORKED SO HARD, VERY DIFFICULT TIME, THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AND THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO SERVE THAT POPULATION.
I THINK WE NEED TO GIVE THEM FLOWERS.
TURN A PHRASE LIKE ORGANIZING GIGS.
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE YOUR LOVED ONES FLOWERS OFTEN, THEY FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY FEEL SUPPORTED.
THOSE ARE THE TOP LYING BASIC MORE PLEASANT THINGS THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
[02:50:05]
THE QUESTION NUMBERS ARE WHERE GUYS ARE REALLY CONFUSED.>> YES, IT'S INHERENTLY CONFUSING, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
IT WOULD BE VERY [INAUDIBLE] COUNCIL WILL PROVIDE A PRESENTATION AT SOME POINT.
WE'RE NOT QUITE PAST COVID YET, AND ALL THE EMERGING SITUATIONS BUT THINGS ARE BEGINNING TO SETTLE DOWN IN THERE.
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY ACTION NEEDS GOING FORWARD.
>> WE GOT SOME EXCITING NEW STUFF.
>> SHE HAS ADVOCATED TO HAVE A CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT THAT WOULD GO YEAR IN YEAR OUT.
IT IS PROBABLY A WORTHY DISCUSSION TO HAVE AND THEY DO PROVIDE.
WE'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR THEIR SERVICE.
THERE WAS NO GREATER EVIDENCE OF THAT IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO DURING COVID.
WE'D BE GLAD TO HAVE HER AND MAYBE A MEMBER OR TWO FROM THE BOARD GARNERING FOR THE COUNCIL, IT'S BEEN A WHILE. [INAUDIBLE].
>> WE JUST TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF NUMBERS BUT WHAT WE DIDN'T DO WAS ESTABLISH WAS LIKE WHERE WE SAW ON TOO MUCH MONEY AT TIME, OR IS THAT NOT ENOUGH? MY POINT IS WE NEED TO FORWARD THESE NUMBERS WITH THE NEED.
I WANT TO SUPPORT THE NEED, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM MORE THAN NECESSARY.
I THINK THE IDEA OF PRESENTATION BY THEM, AND MAYBE SOME ANALYSIS BY OUR SENIOR STAFF MIGHT SEEM REASONABLE, WOULDN'T BE A VERY WORTHWHILE PRESENTATION IF YOU THINK OF WHAT WE DO IS ESTABLISH.
THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY INVOLVED HERE. THERE WAS ONE.
>> YOU JUST HEARD MONEY IS EXPENDED THROUGHOUT THE COVID PAYBACK.
>> I DID NOT WANT TO PUT ANY LIGHT THIS AS BEING AN OVERSPEND.
I JUST WANTED TO INFORM COUNCIL AS TO WHAT WE HAVE DONE.
I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY WELL APPRECIATED AND HAS MADE A HUGE POSITIVE IMPACT.
>> MY ONLY POINT IS THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MONEY THEY'RE GETTING IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE MONEY THEY LEGITIMATELY NEED.
>> PARTICULARLY, WE JUST HEARD FROM CHRISTINA THAT AND I THOUGHT I HEARD HER SAY THEY'VE COVERED THEIR COSTS.
GOING FORWARD WE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP THEM MEET THOSE COSTS BUT I'M NOT GETTING ANY SENSE THAT THERE'S BEEN MONEY EXPENDED UNNECESSARILY.
>> I'M GOING TO DECLINE THAT. THAT'S TWICE.
>> I'LL JUST MENTION THAT I'VE BEEN REALLY APPRECIATIVE YOU BRINGING UP THE PROCESS.
JUST SOME OF THESE THINGS ON THE LIST CAN'T COVER MOST OF THE TIME, BUT WHEN WERE TALKING CDBG FUNDS, THE HOUSING BOND AND DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT NEEDED TO MAKE THAT FUNCTIONAL FOR RABID REHOUSING, ETC.
IS A DIFFERENT BALLGAME THAN TALKING 25,000 FOR 3K AND 5,000 FOR TRAILS AND SNIP.
FIRSTLY, WE NEED SUPPORT THEM AND OUR CHILDREN POPULATION, HOWEVER, WE CAN, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO ME THAT THE CDBG HOUSING BOND, POTENTIALLY WE'RE FINDING A COLOR OF MONEY FOR THEIR SERVICES THAT WE CAN'T DO FOR [INAUDIBLE].
AS IT PERTAINS TO THE DEBATE WE ARE HAVING NOW AND THERE [INAUDIBLE].
>> LET ME JUST CHECK THROUGH 20 MINUTES TO LUNCH OR [OVERLAPPING] 18 MINUTES ACTUALLY.
>> WE WANT TO DO EARLY CHILDHOOD.
>> OR BOYS AND GIRLS PRIVACY OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO TRY TO ADD IN.
>> IF I WANTED TO TOUCH ON BLACK LIVES EXPERIENCE BEFORE I HEARD THAT REFERENCE IN RECREATING, IT HELPS US TO TALK ABOUT, BUT WE CAN GO RIGHT TO BOYS AND GIRLS NEXT.
COUNCIL MEMBER [INAUDIBLE], THANK YOU FOR RAISING THAT.
THE AMOUNT PREVIOUSLY, THAT THE CITY PROVIDED IS $25,000 REQUEST IS $50,000, IS THAT CORRECT? DID I HEAR IT IN THE NARRATIVE THAT THEY ARE ASKING TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE [INAUDIBLE] OR WAS THAT JUST AN EXPLANATION THAT WE WOULD BE DOING THE LEASE.
>> WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF NEGOTIATING NEXT YEAR.
WE HAVE SET DOLLAR LONG DAY, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE A NUMBER TO PUT IN THE BUDGET DEFICITS.
[02:55:01]
THEIR REQUEST GOES FOR $50,000 THAT THEY BELIEVE THEY WILL LEAVE FOR NEXT YEAR.I WOULD IN ASSUMPTION MEANING WITH THE LEASE, THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE [OVERLAPPING].
>> BUT WE HAVEN'T COMPLETED ALL THAT.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARITY. SO TO CONFORM COUNSELORS DISCUSSION THAT 50,000 DOLLARS IS THE ASK COVER OPERATIONAL, ONGOING COSTS.
WE ARE RESTRUCTURING THE REASON WE'RE DOING IT CONSISTENTLY WITH OTHER RESTRUCTURES, LONG-TERM LEASES, FAIRLY NOMINAL GRANTS MAKING IT EASY FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO FUNCTION WITHOUT BEING BURDENED WITH HIGH RATES.
SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT WOULD BURN UP, DAN FOLKE MENTIONED THAT WE DIDN'T DO THAT WITH THE COMMUNITY THEATER, AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS IN THE QUEUE.
SO THIS ONE'S NEXT ON THE LIST SO YOU HAVE TWO THINGS.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE LIST BECAUSE WE WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK TO COUNCIL UPDATES ON THAT.
WE MIGHT JUST FOCUS ON THE $50,000 ASK.
>> JUST A QUESTION ABOUT THE ASK.
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR ASK VERSUS THE 25.
I GUESS THAT'S THINKING THAT THE 50 MIGHT BE [INAUDIBLE] SO THEY JUST DOUBLED THE ASK.
>> THEY ASKED FOR 50,000 FOR THE LAST PLUS YEARS.
WE'VE LANDED AT 25 FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.
SO THEIR REQUEST IS THE SAME AS THEY REQUESTED IN THE PAST.
WE KNOW THEY HAVE OTHER RESOURCES ALSO WHEN YOU'RE PROVIDING A FACILITY.
THAT'S THE TERM THAT WE SHOULD COME TO, WE HAD A CONTRACT THAT WE HAD.
>> SO I'LL JUST SAY IF IT'S CANCELED, CURIOUS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF AS ANY OTHER INSIGHTS TO SHARE, BUT I'M COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AT THE FIRM, BRINGING THEM UP TO 30 TO SURROUND UP BUT I DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO JUMP TO FIT.
>> I HAVE A PENDING QUESTION ON THE FACILITY MAINTENANCE.
THEY ARE NOT MAINTAINED BY FAIRIES.
>> [OVERLAPPING] [INAUDIBLE] BOYS AND GIRLS SERIOUSLY STRUGGLING.
>> IT'S A FACILITY THAT'S OCCUPIED BY BOYS AND GIRLS AND JUST CALL THEM WHICH ASSOCIATIVE.
>> PROPERTY HOLDS FOR TALKING.
>> I THOUGHT I SHOULD COME TO THAT [LAUGHTER] SPECIFIC TO QUOTE THE COMP BILL AND MIGRATION CENTER, WHICH IS THE STANDING FACILITY OCCUPIED BY THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
WEARING MY PARTNER RECREATION BACKGROUND.
THERE'S SOME DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
SEVERAL BOYS AND GIRLS CLASSIC THE BUILDING.
THE PARK AND THE GRAPHS AROUND THE BUILDING ARE STILL MAINTAINED BY PARKS AS A FLAT TIRE.
I THINK IF THERE'S THAT DURING PART OR THE BASKETBALL BEFORE IN THERE THAT SAY DONATION.
THERE'S ALSO SOME PART GROUNDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
PYREX TOTALLY MAINTAINS THAT OUTSIDE OF THAT FACILITY.
I DO BELIEVE THAT SNOW REMOVAL THAT IS CONTRACTED FOR THE BUILDING, THAT'S TIED INTO THE EXISTING LEASE.
AS I THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN WILL BE TIDED TO THE FUTURE.
THE STRUCTURE THAT THE CITY TERRORISTS WAS DESCRIBING.
WE DO HAVE A BUDGET RIGHT NOW AT ABOUT $20,000 TO PAY FOR UTILITIES AND I BELIEVE MEDICAL MAINTENANCE.
FOR ANY MORE SPECIFIC SOME MAINTENANCE AT THAT BUILDING, I WOULD NEED TO TURN OVER TO SCOTT IF YOU'VE LOST SOME DETAIL, BUT THAT'S THE BASIC STRUCTURE AS IT IS NOW, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE IMPROVED ON WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT PLACE.
>> THE REQUEST, I BELIEVE IS FOR OPERATION.
>> LOOKING AHEAD, BRITISH SUGAR IS SOMETHING LIKE MAINTENANCE ON A CITY [INAUDIBLE] WHICH REALLY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DISCUSSED TODAY, BUT HAS SOMETHING THAT IS TO BE CONSIDERED THE NEXT YEAR'S STATEMENT VIS-A-VIS [INAUDIBLE]
[03:00:08]
>> I TOOK A TOUR OF BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AND I BELIEVE IT'S A TYPE OF ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT I'M WONDERING, I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN ACTIVE IN PURSUING BRANDS, BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO SECURE.
IN MY CONVERSATION, IS LIKE THEY WERE HAVING SOME GREAT LUCK WITH GRANT OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE.
IF WE'VE DONE 25 IN THE PAST, I'M DEFINITELY COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF I WANTED TO MAKE IT THAT.
>> I DEFINITELY WANT TO SUPPORT THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO DO A LITTLE MORE THAN 25, BUT THE FULL 50, I THINK, AS WE'RE LOOKING THROUGH THIS, SHAPING UP SUCH CARE, I THINK IT'S REASONABLE.
[FOREIGN] SUGGESTION 3035, THOUSAND EVEN.
MORE THAN WE HAD BEFORE, WE ERE DOING A LOT BETTER RIGHT NOW IS A CITY THAT WE'VE WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
SO, LET'S MAKE SURE WE'RE SHARING THE LOVE WITH THOSE WHO ARE SUCCINCT PARTNERS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT GREAT FEEDBACK.
>> I WAS ABOUT TO [INAUDIBLE].
[LAUGHTER] RICK GAVE YOU A NICE NARRATIVE ON THIS.
THIS HAS BEEN FUNDED FOR TWO YEARS.
IT GOES BACK TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER AND THAT WAS IN RESPONSE TO A LOT OF THE SOCIAL MOVEMENT AND ACTIVITY THAT OCCURRED A COUPLE OF SUMMERS AGO.
SOME VERY I THINK IMPACTFUL PERFORMANCE AND COMMUNITY DIALOGUE AND ENGAGEMENT ON THIS TOPIC AND THE REQUEST, AGAIN, FOR THIS YEAR IS TO STEEP THIS AMOUNT.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS FUNDED THE LAST TWO YEARS.
>> IS THE MONEY GOING TOWARDS STRATEGIC PLAN OR IS IT JUST THE OUTREACH COMMUNICATION.
>> WE ASKED THIS A YEAR AGO AND WE RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO THAT A REVISED SCOPE.
WE DO HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THEM EACH YEAR.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THE INITIAL FUNDING WENT INTO THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
NOW, THEY ARE SEEKING FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT ACTIONS OUT OF THAT STRATEGIC PLAN.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN GIVE YOU ANY MORE DETAIL.
I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE DOUG HARRIS OR OTHERS TO COME IN AND SPEAK TO THAT.
>> I'LL JUST SAY, I FULLY SUPPORT THIS PARTNERSHIP, [INAUDIBLE] FOR DOING THIS.
I GUESS IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
IT WOULD BE GREAT TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH AND WHAT THEY'RE HOPING TO ACHIEVE BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT BUDGET DISCUSSION.
BUT I FULLY SUPPORT THEIR ASK OF OUR PARTNERSHIP.
>> I'D LOVE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE [INAUDIBLE].
>> [INAUDIBLE] TO THE PROGRESS FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WITH THIS GOAL TOWARDS MARKETING AND WHATEVER ELSE.
I SUPPORT THE CAUSE AS WELL THAT [INAUDIBLE].
GOING THROUGH THIS LIST IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE AMOUNT PERCENTAGE OR INTO THE AMOUNT [INAUDIBLE].
THAT WILL HELP US TO FIND [INAUDIBLE].
>> WE WILL HAVE THEM COME AND PRESENT TO YOU AS WELL AS [INAUDIBLE] SOCIAL SERVICES.
WE WILL GET YOU THE INFORMATION IN WRITTEN FORM REGARDING THE HIGH COUNTRY HUMANE SOCIETY.
I THINK WE HAD THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
JUST LOOKING AT THE LIST HERE.
THE MOBILE OUTREACH PLUS WE HEARD INITIAL COMMENTS ON THAT, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION.
I THINK WE ALSO HEARD SOME FROM THE [INAUDIBLE] A FAVORABLE COMMENT ON THE ELEVATE PRE-K REQUEST.
BUT LET'S START WITH THE MOBILE OUTREACH FIRST AND SEE WHAT COUNCIL IS ON THAT.
>> WHAT IS IT? EXPLAIN IT TO US.
>> HI, SHANNON. [LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND]
>> NOW RELAX, I CAN EXPLAIN [OVERLAPPING].
>> YES, PLEASE. CAN I PUT YOU AND KARL CLOSE TO THE MIC. THANK YOU.
>> THE [INAUDIBLE] THIS ONE THAT IT WORKS THE ALTERNATE RESPONSE TEAM.
IT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING TO ESTABLISH
[03:05:03]
A CARE UNIT AS FAR AS A POTENTIAL CARE CENTER IN THE FUTURE.THEY PRESENTED THAT IT WOULD BE A CONVERTED BUS.
THE BUS WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE A SITTING AREA, BATHROOM SHOWERS, AS WELL AS LAUNDRY.
IT LOOKS LIKE LAUNDRY HAS FALLEN OFF BASED ON THE MOST RECENT COMMUNICATION THAT WE RECEIVED.
THEY ARE SEEKING, I WANT TO SAY, IT'S AROUND $37,000 IN ADDITION TO THE CITY PAYING FOR THE WATER THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO LOAD ONTO THE BUS FOR USE OF THOSE FACILITIES.
THEY ALSO REQUESTED A DUMPING SITE BUT IN THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING IF THAT WAS SOMETHING WE COULD DO, WE LEARNED THAT OUR FACILITY WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE.
BUT THEY COULD DO SOMETHING AT A LOCATION LIKE [INAUDIBLE].
THAT WOULD BE MORE RELATED TO THE TYPE OF SYSTEM IT WOULD BE.
THEN THE LAST PIECE THAT THEY WERE ASKING US TO STORE THAT VEHICLE INDOORS AT ONE OF OUR FACILITIES SINCE IT WOULD HAVE WATER.
WHICH AGAIN, WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A STORAGE FACILITY.
WE WOULD HAVE TO MOVE ONE OF OUR CITY VEHICLES OUT IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THAT REQUEST.
>> THIS IS PART OF THE ALTERNATE RESPONSE FROM [INAUDIBLE], IS THAT CORRECT?
>> YET THIS CITY WOULD HAVE NO OWNERSHIP OF THIS [INAUDIBLE].
>> IT'S A NON-PROFIT THEN IS GOING TO RUN THIS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY AND IT'S THEIR REQUEST, IT'S NOT A CITY REQUEST, CORRECT?
>> IT'S A PARTNERSHIP WITH WENDY WHITE WHO SET UP THE SHELTER A LONG TIME AGO, USED TO WORK AT THE COUNTY AS JCC COORDINATOR AND DARRELL MARKS, WHO WE ALL KNOW [INAUDIBLE].
I THINK THAT THIS IS [INAUDIBLE] PARTNERSHIP.
PERSONALLY, THAT'S MY THOUGHT.
I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WITH THE 37 FROM FISCAL YEAR 21, 22, RICK, IS THAT MONEY THAT'S ALREADY BEEN GIVEN?
>> NO. THAT WASN'T THE LETTER THAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED.
THEY DID REQUEST THEIR CURRENT FUNDING THIS YEAR TOO AND WE WERE LIKE, "WE DON'T HAVE MONEY SET ASIDE".
[OVERLAPPING] THIS WAS MORE OF A BUDGET PROCESS DISCUSSION.
>> YOU WANT 74,000 [INAUDIBLE].
>> PLUS SOME OTHER CONSIDERATIONS [INAUDIBLE].
>> STERLING, YOU WANT TO JUMP IN.
>> DEAR MAYOR AND COUNCIL I APPRECIATED THIS AS SENIOR DEPUTY CITY MANAGER ANDERSON INDICATED IS NOT PART OF THE ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE.
SO IF COUNCIL WANTS TO CONSIDER THIS ITEM, I WOULD SUGGEST AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
>> WHO WILL BE GOING TO THE EXECUTIVE? [LAUGHTER]
>> THIS LOOKS A LOT, OBVIOUSLY I'M VERY INTERESTED IN THIS, AND CERTAINLY WHATEVER SPACE CAN WE COMMUNICATE ABOUT THIS FURTHER, I'D BE HAPPY TO WAIT TILL THAT SPACE IS [NOISE] PLACED.
>> WE WILL HAVE OUR LEGAL COUNSEL LEAD US ON THIS EXECUTIVE SESSION.
EVERYBODY NEXT WEEK [INAUDIBLE].
>> BUT IT DOES SOUND LIKE WE HAVE [INAUDIBLE].
>> FOR CLARITY'S SAKE, WE ARE FOUR MINUTES UNTIL LUNCH.
SO CAN WE CLARIFY WHAT WE STILL HAVE ON OUR AGENDA FOR THE FIRM?
>> ELEVATE [INAUDIBLE] AND THIS TRAILS INITIATIVE COMES UP.
>> I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET SOME VOTES MARSHALED HERE.
THE MAYOR SUGGESTED TO DO WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR ON TRAILS INITIATIVE AND TO FUND IT OUT OF COUNCIL INITIATIVES.
>> WHICH CAN GET TILL BEFORE JULY 1ST, [INAUDIBLE].
>> THAT'S A YES. WE CAN HANG ON [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] PRE-K 25,000 AND THERE'S BEEN A SUGGESTION TO FUND THAT?
>> JUST A QUESTION. THIS IS BASICALLY A SCHOOL ISSUE.
IS THIS A CITY ISSUE OR IS IT A SCHOOL BOARD ISSUE?
>> THIS IS EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND THE CITY HAS NOT BEEN A DIRECT OVERSEER OF THAT.
IT'S BEEN A FINANCIAL PARTNER IN VARIOUS CAPACITY THROUGH UNITED WAY.
I THINK MORE SPECIFICALLY BUT MY EARLIER COMMENT ABOUT HELPING OUT [INAUDIBLE], THAT'S NOT ALL EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.
IT'S STEM EDUCATION, BUT BENEFITING KIDS OF ALL AGES.
INDIRECTLY OR PERIPHERALLY, WE HAVE BEEN A FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
>> JUMPING ON THIS ONE. THE THING IS THEY ARE SERVING THE POPULATION THAT IS OUR WORKFORCE.
OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IS AFFECTED BY THIS, THEREFORE, [INAUDIBLE] INVOLVED IN IT.
THIS IS A WAY TO LEVERAGE FUNDS AND TURN ON INVESTMENTS.
[03:10:02]
THIS IS TO CREATE THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY'S FUTURE.I GUESS, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TEACH HIM TO BE ABLE TO [OVERLAPPING] [INAUDIBLE].
>> THE USE PER QUARTER IS 25,000.
>> I WILL NOTE TOO THAT THE LAST THREE YEARS WE'VE GIVEN $70,000 TO OUR [INAUDIBLE].
THIS YEAR THAT'S NOT ON THE BUDGET.
SO THAT WAS 70,000, WE'RE TRYING TO HELP WITH THIS PRESCHOOL AND HIGHER.
NOW WE'RE AT ZERO CITIZENS UP TO 25, WHICH IS LESS THAN REACHED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.
>> A CONSENSUS THERE AND THEN RICK HAS A QUESTION ON THAT.
>> JUST A CLARITY ON THE FLAG STAFF TRAIL INITIATIVE, THE RANGE WAS FIVE TO 10 AND ALSO THE DEVELOPMENT. [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER]
THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> FROM YESTERDAY, WE WERE ABLE TO GAIN A LOT OF EXTRA TIME TODAY.
[OVERLAPPING] I THINK IT'S ALL 100 PERCENT TO DO WITH [INAUDIBLE]. [BACKGROUND]
>> EXCELLENT, SO WITH THAT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO CONVERSATION AND MAKING THIS THE INCREDIBLE CITY THAT IT IS.
NOW, LET'S SEE, WE HAVE 30 MINUTES.
WE'LL START BACK REALLY ON TIME AT 12:30, PLEASE ENJOY.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO ANNOUNCE WHERE FOOD IS FROM.
SORRY [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] WE HAVE SANDWICHES AND CHIPS.
>> THANKS SEAN. ENJOY EVERYBODY.
GET ALL FOOD IF YOU LIKE AND THERE'S COFFEE AND TEA, AND EVERYTHING IS STILL, AND HOW'S EVERYBODY'S ENERGY? STILL GREAT? GOOD. FOR THE AFTERNOON STARTING US OFF NOW.
FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH CHRIS BARRETT AND CHRISTIAN ABOUT THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
WE'VE GOT THIS SUMMARY UNFUNDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND COUNCIL FOLLOW UP.
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO LET'S GIVE THEM A HAND.
>> I'LL SIT DOWN, JUST QUICK COUPLE OF SECONDS.
GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR LUNCH.
CAPITAL PROGRAMS. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO START OFF WITH, FIRST OF ALL JUST A SUMMARIZATION.
THIS SUMMARIZES WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT ON THE 31ST.
I THINK THAT FOR OUR RETREAT DEDICATED TO CAPITAL WAS MOST APPRECIATED BY MY STAFF, MYSELF, WE REALLY APPRECIATED THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OVER IT IN DETAIL.
I THINK COUNCIL HAS A KEEN AWARENESS OF WHAT'S IN OUR PROGRAM.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, JUST $340 MILLION IN THE OUT YEARS.
SPECIFICALLY IN FY23 OUR BUDGET FIGURE AIM IS $140 MILLION AND 40,000.
THEN OF COURSE YOU SEE THE COLUMN ON THE LEFT IS THE CURRENT BUDGET OF FY22.
SO MONIES THAT WILL BE EXPENDED BY JUNE 30 IS $115 MILLION.
QUITE A ROBUST CAPITAL PROGRAM FOR A LOCAL COMMUNITY IS 75,000.
[LAUGHTER] THE DECIMAL POINT MATTERS.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARD TO THIS? HERE'S OUR COLOR MONEY IN THE ROWS.
THEY COME WITH THEIR BUCKETS AND THEIR VARIOUS RULES.
I THINK MOVING ON, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE TALKED A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT THAT ONE.
WHAT WE HAVE IS WE HAVE SOME STUFF FROM COUNCIL, SO WE HAVE SOME UPDATES FROM THE MARCH RETREAT AND WE'RE CATEGORIZING IT IS CARRYOVER ITEMS. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS WE HAVE THE ALLOCATION OF $550,000 FOR THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN TO SEEK GRANTS AND COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP MONEY.
[03:15:05]
THIS IS CERTAINLY THE ITEM YOU WANT TO DISCUSS.I GUESS AT THIS POINT, I CAN READ THIS SLIDE, BUT I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT THOSE PROJECTS ARE.
I WOULD OPEN UP FOR DISCUSSION ON THIS POINT.
>> I'M WONDERING IF WE'VE BEEN CONCEPTUALIZING AS WELL, NOT JUST THE INTERSECTIONS, BUT WE'VE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY AT THAT WITH THE LONE TREE BRIDGE THAT IT DOES SEEM FEASIBLE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE A LANE OF BEAVER OR SAN FRANCISCO OR BIKEWAY.
I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT'S ANYWHERE IN CONCEPTUALIZATION BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE NICE IF WE HAD SOME PLANS AND WE'RE DOING SOME OF THIS ITEM ONE AFTER ANOTHER.
SO LONE TREE BRIDGE AND THEN THAT TAKES THE CAPACITY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
>> EXACTLY. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
WE OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE QUITE DONE WITH THAT LONE TREE BUTLER CONVERSATION YET.
WE PLAN ON COMING BACK WITH THE FIVE-LANE OPTIONS THAT COUNCIL'S REQUESTED.
DEPENDING ON WHAT OUR ULTIMATE CHOICE IS, THERE MAY BE VARYING DEGREES OF WHAT WE SEE OVER ON BEAVER OR IN SAN FRANCISCO AND MILTON AND PONDEROSA, YOU NOTICED THAT TRAFFIC SPREADS ITSELF OUT THROUGH THE MODELING.
THAT BEING SAID, ABSOLUTELY WE RECOGNIZE AND SEE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT WORK ON BEAVER IN SAN FRANCISCO.
I FOR ONE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.
I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS CONCERN ABOUT PARKING AND ALSO TO TAKE A LANE FOR BIKING AND PED.
THEN THE CONSIDERATION OF DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE GETTING RID OF PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE PARKING AS IT IS TODAY WITH THE BIKE AND PED NEXT TO IT? DETAILS. I'M YOUR ENGINEER SO WORKING THAT STUFF OUT IT'S GOING TO BE OF INTEREST FOR THE COMMUNITY.
OF COURSE, PUBLIC OUTREACH AS YOU KNOW, OUR MOTTO IS WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO ROBUST PUBLIC OUTREACH THROUGH ALL THIS.
BUT I GUESS TO MAKE LONG STORY SHORT, I SEE THAT HAPPENING.
LONE TREE WON'T BE CONSTRUCTED FOR, I'M GUESSING HERE, BUT WE'RE STILL FIVE YEARS AWAY FROM ACTUALLY DRIVING ON IT.
WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, I SUGGEST IS OUTSIDE OF OUR FIVE-YEAR PLANNING PROCESS RIGHT NOW.
BUT WE CERTAINLY NEED TO KEEP OUR EYE ON IT.
>> THANK YOU AGAIN. I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT ON THE RADAR AND THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE RESEARCHING.
>> BUT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BEAVER INTERSECTION FOR EXAMPLE, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING [NOISE] THAT BEAVER STREET IS PROBABLY THE PREFERABLE ONE BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT BE TAKING THE PARKING SPOTS, THOSE SERVICES.
ANYWAYS, JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE, THAT MAYBE THAT'S A GOOD SPOT TO FOCUS ON AND THINK ABOUT AS WE WORK ON A LOT OF THESE IMPRESSIONS.
>> I'LL JUMP IN. GREAT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE SPACE FOR THIS CONVERSATION.
TO HAVE THE TEAM'S WILLINGNESS TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH US.
I WANTED JUST TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN [INAUDIBLE] THERE'S BEEN EMAILS FROM FOLKS ASKING US TO MOVE THERE AND TOWARDS.
WE WANT TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO THE PUBLIC FOR ENGAGING IN THIS PROCESS BECAUSE IT HAS ALSO MADE OUR JOBS A LITTLE EASIER.
HELPING US REACH [INAUDIBLE] GOALS CAN BE CRITICAL.
IN TERMS OF DEALING WITH ENGINEERING AND IN OUR ROADS AND HOW WE DESIGN AND ROAD SHIFTING.
I KNOW I'M SAYING ALL THESE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW.
MY POINT IS MY GOAL FROM THIS CONVERSATION TODAY IS TO DIVE INTO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS.
TALK ABOUT THE PLANS AND THE FUNDING AND NOT IN GREAT DETAIL, BUT A LITTLE BIT JUST TO SEE IF THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE AND FUNDING.
THEN I'D LIKE TO SEE IF THIS COUNCIL WILL DESIRE TO ADDRESS THE OUTREACH OF THE FIVE-YEAR CIP LIKE THE OTHER YEARS FIVE-YEAR CIP PROJECTS SUCH AS THE JW COLLEAGUE, CARRIE AIRPORT, LONGSTREET, HIGHNOTE, PAL, AND WESTERN 66.
THESE WERE THE PROJECTS ALLOWED BY STAFF TO US AND THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD LEAVING FLEXIBLE.
BECAUSE FROM OUR CONVERSATIONS, LOTS AND LOTS OF SEMINARS.
UNLESS IT'S ON THAT LIST, IT'S JUST TIME.
[03:20:03]
IT'S NOT THAT IT DOESN'T GET DONE, BUT ULTIMATELY COUNCIL, IF WE WANT TO SEE THINGS DONE, IT NEEDS TO BE ON THAT LIST. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?>> THOSE ARE MY GOALS FOR THIS CONVERSATION TODAY.
JUMPING INTO SOME OF THE PROJECTS.
THE 550 IS THAT JUST FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN.
THAT'S FOR THE PROJECTS THAT I LOVED.
BUT IF YOU WANT SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT [OVERLAPPING]
>> IF I MAKE AND MAYBE YOU WANT TO PUT OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE TABLE, BUT IF WE WANT TO TACKLE THAT ONE FIRST, I THINK THAT'S THE PATTERN WE'VE BEEN HERE. I'LL CALL IN MARTIN.
>> DID YOU HEAR THE QUESTION, MARTIN?
>> I HEARD PART OF IT. COULD YOU REPEAT IT?
>> SURE. I WAS ASKING THE FIRE SAFETY FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN.
I GUESS I WAS JUST ASKING, DOES DESIGN WORK FOR ALL THE PROJECTS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY IN TERMS OF THE [INAUDIBLE] FUNDING THAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED?
>> YES. I'LL TAKE THE SECOND PART FIRST.
BUT I THINK FOLLOWING THIS RETREAT AND WITH DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL WILL GO BACK WITH FINANCE AND FIGURE OUT WHERE TO FIND THE $550,000 FOR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND PRE-DESIGNED.
AS FAR AS FUNDING ITSELF, THAT WOULD BE FOR SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE BOTH ON THE LIST AND THAT ARE JUST OFF THE LIST.
THE IDEA WOULD BE TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN HAVING A DOT OR LINE IDENTIFIED ON A MAP OR A PLAN, AND A FULL PROJECT BY DOING A LITTLE BIT OF INTRODUCTORY PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND PRE-DESIGNED WORK.
I THINK IN THE ENGINEERING WORLD THEY WOULD REFER TO THAT AS 15 PERCENT DESIGNS.
WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF HOW THESE PROJECTS WILL WORK, LITERALLY FIT IN THE RIGHT OF WHERE DO WE NEED ACQUISITION, AND A BETTER IDEA OF HOW MUCH THEY COST.
I THINK THERE'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY THROUGH THAT PROCESS TO HAVE SOME DESIGNS DRAWN THAT WE CAN PRESENT TO THE PUBLIC THAT WILL MAKE A MORE COMPELLING CASE FOR SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS.
THEN OF COURSE, ULTIMATELY, AS GRANTS BECOME AVAILABLE, THAT WILL PUT US IN A GOOD POSITION TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR THOSE GRANTS WITH A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN THOUGHT THROUGH TO THE NEXT STEP, ALREADY HAS SOME PRELIMINARY DESIGNS AND SOME GOOD COST ESTIMATES AND IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ALONG THAN OTHER PROJECTS MIGHT BE.
>> WELL, I GUESS I'M CURIOUS WHERE THAT 550 IS COMING OUT.
IS THAT PART OF THE BITE OR 19 MONEY?
>> YES, IT WILL BE OUT OF PREP FOR 19 THE TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX.
I THINK OUR INITIAL APPROACH WILL BE TO TAKE SOME MONEY OUT OF SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE EITHER EXISTING IN THE BUDGET OR THAT WILL BE IN THE BUDGET FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
WE CAN LOOK TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY MONEY AVAILABLE IN THE FUND BALANCE AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
ALTHOUGH I THINK THAT MAY BE THOROUGHLY SLIM, AND THEN BEYOND THAT WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT EITHER DELAYING PROJECTS OR MOVING THEM OUT INTO FUTURE YEARS TO FORWARD THE $550,000.
ALL THAT IS WORK YET TO BE DONE FOLLOWING THIS RETREAT.
>> [INAUDIBLE] IT'S NOT GOING TO BE REMOVING 550 FROM OTHER PLANS PARCHMENTS? [NOISE]
>> I'LL JUMP IN MARTIN BUT THE ANSWER IS YES.
BUT AGAIN, THE IDEA IS THAT IF WE CAN ADVANCE SOME MONEY AND YES, IT MIGHT PUSH SOME OTHER PROJECTS ASIDE, BUT IS HELPS US KEEP THE PROGRAM INTACT IN A MUCH BETTER FASHION AND THEN WE CAN TAKE THOSE PROJECTS THAT WE ADVANCE TO THE 15 PERCENT LEVEL.
THEN WE CAN SEEK TRANSPORT, WHICH WILL HELP SUPPLEMENT THE MONEYS THAT ARE IN FOR 19.
THEN THAT WILL ULTIMATELY HAVE A LESSER IMPACT TO THE PLANNING THAT'S BEEN DONE BY THE COMMISSION.
LIKE THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS WELL AS THE PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT ARE SOME ROTATION CONDITION.
MARTIN HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK IN LINING UP WHAT THEY THINK ARE BEST FIVE-YEAR PLANNING APPROACH TO THIS INCIDENCE.
WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE AS LITTLE IMPACT TO THAT AS POSSIBLE, ULTIMATELY, THAT'S COUNCIL'S DECISION YOU CAN JIGGER IT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK.
>> I JUST KNOW WITH MAN'S LIMITED FUNDS, I DO FEEL BAD [INAUDIBLE] 550 TO THE DESIGN I FIRST HEAR ABOUT IT.
[03:25:02]
IT IS SET TO RECEIVE THOSE GRANT FUNDING IN.IF THEY WERE TO FUND THESE SIX PROJECTS, WE WILL TRANSPORT [INAUDIBLE].
WE GET AROUND, BUT DOES IT FILL UP THE GAS DEFINITELY NO.
PROBABLY WOULD MAKE A HUGE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, IT MIGHT BE TOWARDS THAT LIKELIHOODS.
MOVING ON TO THE PROTECTED THE INTERSECTION, AT THE VARIANCE SAN FRAN, 550 IS DEDICATED FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND THEN THE PLAN IS, THIS IS THE SAME 550, I'M READING FROM YO EMAIL TO ME.
>> BECAUSE THEY WOULD SEEK GRAND FUNDING TO FULFILL THAT.
>> I WOULD ADD THAT AS PART OF THAT AND I'M NOT SURE I CAN SAY YOUR MARKS.[BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER] BUT YES.
WE HAVE THEY ASKED CONGRESSMEN OR ALIZARIN, AND OTHER [INAUDIBLE] TO CONSIDER THE BEAVER BUTLER INTERSECTION.
THAT ONE'S IN PLAY RIGHT NOW AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN ADVANCE THAT, AND WE'LL FIND OUT SOON.
>> WE ALREADY OBVIOUSLY, YOU SAID THAT THIS TERM IS IN THE PROPOSED CIP INCLUDES WORK ON THE PROPOSAL [INAUDIBLE]?
>> YES, AND ACTUALLY THE COMMITTEES THAT I MENTIONED PRIOR IN OUR FACTUALLY PROGRAM THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER AS OUR RECOMMENDATION.
THE RIORDAN RANCH IS ALREADY IN IT.
I THINK IT'S A YEAR OR TWO OUT IN MARCH AND MAY BE ABLE TO CLARIFY EXACTLY WHERE THAT ISN'T THE PROGRAM, BUT BEING ABLE TO ADVANCE IT.
THAT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, THAT IS STILL LIKE TO HAPPEN LIKE IN THE FIRST YEAR AS OPPOSED TO THE FIFTH YEAR.
>> THEN IN TERMS OF [NOISE] [INAUDIBLE] IS THREE, DO WE HAVE MONEY SET ASIDE FOR WHETHER IT MIGHT POTENTIALLY COST?
>> MARTIN'S ANSWER, I THINK YOU CAN HOLD WHERE HOLDERS CAN SHARE EMAILS.
MARTIN DOES NOT HAVE THAT FUNDED AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
OUR RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL IS LET'S HAVE A DISCUSSION THAT'S TEED UP FOR I THINK IT'S THE 14TH TO JUNE AT WORK SESSION.
WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE BRINGING FORTH ALL THE LESSONS LEARNED, ALL THE DATA IF YOU WILL, IN REGARD TO THE PILOT PROJECTS TECHNIQUE OF JUST BUILT [INAUDIBLE] TO INTERCEDE.
WE HAVE PUBLIC WORKS INTERESTS, WE HAVE POLICE AND FIRE INTERESTS, GUARDIANS INVOLVED, DO YOU WANT TO REACH OUT TO A COMMUNITY, SOME SORT OF SURVEY YOU WANT TO GET IT IN FRONT OF THE TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AND INSTITUTE SUBCOMMITTEES BEFORE WE GET INTO COUNCIL ON JUNE 14TH.
STAFFS WORKING HARD, YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO BRING THIS DATA TO COUNCIL.
THAT'S A BIG PART OF THE DECISIONS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE GROUP FOLLOW.
JUST A COUPLE OF MORE POINTS SO, THE DAY COUNCIL REFERRING OUR CONCERN WE ARE JUST STEP ONE.
IF YOU GET DESIGN CLICKED ON THAT WILL SET US UP AT LEAST TO SIT GRANT FUNDING AND POTENTIALLY FIND INTERNAL FUNDING DEPENDING IF THERE ISN'T EITHER [INAUDIBLE].
GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE SIGN WORKS WE'VE TAKEN CARE OF WHAT'S REALLY [INAUDIBLE] TO GET THE BALL ROLLING.
THEN THINKING BIGGER PICTURE TO THE FIVE-YEAR CIP AS OUR ENGINEER, KNOWING HOW THINGS WORKED WITH A FIVE-YEAR CIP, WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND KNOWING THAT WE HAD OUR INTERCEPT TO US ABOUT PROJECTS THAT I'VE MORE FLEXIBLE? WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ME TO IF COUNCIL WANTED TO FURTHER PRIORITIZE PHASE 3 BY PILATE SOME OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS [INAUDIBLE].
DO WE REMOVE ONE ITEM FROM THE FIVE-YEAR CIP THAT'S FURTHER OUT, OR TWO ITEMS, OR THREE, WHAT DO WE THINK?
>> GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OR MAYBE I ALREADY HEARD IT.
IF WE'RE TALKING SAY JOHN WESLEY POWELL FROM LAKE MARY OUT TO THE AIRPORT, MY BRAIN WORKS BETTER WITH AN EXAMPLE.
THAT'S THE THING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
OF COURSE, WE STILL HAVE OUR COMMITMENT TO THE VOTERS TO GET IT DONE.
I THINK THESE PROJECTS HAVE VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS, PROVIDING TOWN ACTIVITY WHERE TOWN ACTIVITY DOES NOT EXIST TODAY.
MAYBE KEEP IN TRAFFIC AND SORRY, I'M JUST DEFENDING THAT PROJECT A LITTLE BIT HERE BUT IF WE WERE ABLE TO GET THAT CONNECTION COMPLETE, WE'D START TO SEE JOHN WESLEY POWELL WOULD ACTUALLY CARRY
[03:30:01]
TRAFFIC TO THE AIRPORT AS OPPOSED TO LAKE MARY ROAD OR TO BEULAH.WE START TO PROVIDE OPTIONS AND THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY LACKING IN THE FLAGSTAFF TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, WHICH IS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE METRO PLAN AND IT'S MODELING PROCESS.
WE'VE REALLY THOUGHT HARD ABOUT WHAT PROJECTS CAN WE BUILD FLAGSTAFF THAT ARE GOING TO PROVIDE THESE ACTIVITIES THAT DON'T EXIST TODAY.
PUSHING THAT OUT, THAT'S COUNCIL'S DECISION.
WE'VE GOT 20 YEARS TO DELIVER IT WHERE IT FALLS IN THAT 20 YEARS, I'LL LEAVE THAT TO THE WISDOM OF COUNCIL.
WHERE IT REALLY IMPACTS WHAT CAPITAL EQUIPMENT DOES TREVOR'S TEAM REALLY BOILS DOWN TO HOW WE ASSIGN THE LIMITED RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE.
WE ONLY HAVE EIGHT PROJECT MANAGERS TO WORK ON THIS STUFF BUT AGAIN, THAT'S THE DIRECTION WE'RE LOOKING FOR FROM COUNCIL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE APPLYING THE RESOURCES IN A MANNER THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH COUNCIL'S DIRECTION.
>> COUNCIL, TIME BACK TO THAT FURTHER STEP PIVOT WE HAD, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEULAH UNIVERSITY, LONE TREE, RAILROAD OVERPASS, J-W [INAUDIBLE] ALL PROJECTS IN PLACE THAT WERE NOT FUNCTIONING.
THOSE WERE ALL PROJECTS THAT DON'T NECESSARILY TOUCH IN [INAUDIBLE].
THEY DO IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND WE CAN DEFEND THAT BUT IN MY MIND, THEY'RE TRANSFORMATIVE LIKE THESE OTHER PROJECTS ARE.
I WOULD BE CURIOUS WHAT THE COUNCIL FEELS ABOUT THE THREE PROJECTS AS TASKS THAT ARE FURTHER OUT THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY BOUNCE BACK A LITTLE FURTHER IN INSERTING THESE FIVE HEAD PRIORITIZE THE OPTIONS IN THAT FIVE-YEAR CIP [OVERLAPPING] [INAUDIBLE] LONE TREE, [INAUDIBLE], AND THE THIRD ONE IS [INAUDIBLE] 66 AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE GOT.
THESE PROJECTS, I'M NOT SAYING AREN'T GOING TO GET DONE, THEY'RE JUST GOING TO DELAYED A BIT TO INSERT A HIGHER PRIORITY ITEMS, ASSUMING COUNCIL AGREES WITH ME.
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU CONSIDER, BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE'LL JUST PLANNING FOR MORE ROADS, MORE [INAUDIBLE] MORE SPRAWL AND THERE'S BENEFITS, I'M NOT SAYING THERE AREN'T BENEFITS.
BUT I WANTED TO LEAVE THE CITY, I'M LEAVING SOON, AND I'D LOVE TO LEAVE US WITH A NICE FIVE-YEAR CIP THAT REALLY HITS SOME OF THESE BIGGER THINGS THAT I'D LOVE TO SEE [INAUDIBLE] THE CITY.
>> IF I MAY JUST TO CLARIFY, I DIDN'T I MENTION RESOURCES SO I'VE GOT TWO QUESTIONS.
ONE IS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT, I DON'T THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SHIFTING FUNDS FROM THOSE PROJECTS HERE, YOU'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE CAPITAL RESOURCES TO DELIVER PROJECTS AND THEN THE SECOND POINT IS IF WE GET GRANTS.
>> YEAH. THEN RICKY TOUCHED UPON A REALLY IMPORTANT POINT AND I'M REALLY CURIOUS WHAT THE OTHER MEMBERS OF COUNCIL THINK.
BUT I'D LOVE FOR US NOT TO RELY ON GRANT FUNDING FOR SOME OF THESE.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE WE CAN EVEN POOL FUNDS FOR SOME OF THESE THINGS, BUT I WILL SAY THESE COSTS ARE PRETTY MINOR COMPARED TO THE OTHER PROJECTS WE DO.
BUT YES, AT MINIMUM, IF THEY PROVIDE THAT GRANT FUNDING, IF WE'RE ABLE TO RECEIVE THAT GRANT FUNDING THEN OUR TEAM, PROJECT MANAGERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE ON THIS OPPORTUNITY, I THINK.
>> OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR MATCHING FUNDS AVAILABLE AND LEGALLY TIME BUDGETED.
WE HAVE SEVERAL GRANT; WELL, WE HAVE A GRANT RIGHT NOW THAT WE CALL IT THE [INAUDIBLE] SOUP GRANT.
BUT IT'S FOR INTERCONNECTING SIGNALS IN COOPERATION WITH [INAUDIBLE].
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO INTERCONNECT SOME SIGNALS ON OUR ARTERIAL ROUTES, WHICH I THINK BUILT IN ROUTE 66.
WE HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS IN FUNDING SET ASIDE IN CASE WE GET THAT GRANT.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HEARD BY NOW THAT THAT GRANT WOULD'VE BEEN AWARDED.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT HEARD YET.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BUT IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL WITH THAT GRANT, THAT'S [INAUDIBLE] MONEY, SO THEN I THINK WE'LL HAVE A POT OF CASH THAT WE CAN KEEP PLAYING THE GRANT GAME.
BUT IF WE GET THAT GRANT THEN AS WE SEEK OTHER GRANTS,
[03:35:03]
WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE MATCHING MONEY BUDGET AS [INAUDIBLE] AND HIS TEAM WOULD TELL ME.>> QUICK FOLLOW-UP TO THAT. WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION THAT WE [INAUDIBLE] THIS YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE IN HOUSE FUNDING TO BUILD THAT ROUTE?
>> MY RECOMMENDATION IS TRUST US.
RICK TADDER AND HIS TEAM ARE AN INCREDIBLY NIMBLE WHEN IT COMES TO FIGURING THIS OUT.
STACY BK, AS WE CHASE THESE BRANDS OPPORTUNITIES WE'LL START TO FIGURE IT OUT AND SO THE EXAMPLES THAT I CAN PROVIDE IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME MONEY.
LIKE FOR BEULAH UNIVERSITY FOR INSTANCE, WE'RE BANKING ON MONEY AND GETTING PREPARED TO BUILD.
BUT AS THOSE SCHEDULES SLIDE, WE HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY WITH MONEY THAT WE LEND IT TO OUR SELF TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A GRANT.
IT'S A SHELL GAME, BUT WE'RE VERY NIMBLE AT IT.
>> DID THAT HELP, RICK? DID I COME CLOSE?
>> I JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN BECAUSE IMPORTANT TOPIC AND WE'RE ABOUT 30 MINUTES IN, ARE WE TRACKING CORRECTLY?
I THINK THE HOMEWORK ITEM THAT'S A COUPLE OF SLIDES FORWARD MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME AS WELL.
>> UNFUNDED LIST COULD BE A HUGE DISCUSSION OR IT COULD BE A LITTLE DISCUSSION, SO HARD TO TELL RIGHT NOW.
>> THANK YOU. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE READY NOW TO MOVE TO THE NEXT.
>> WELL, [OVERLAPPING] [INAUDIBLE].
I'M GLAD WE'RE DOING ALL THESE [INAUDIBLE] IF WHEN IT COMES TO FUNDING A LOT OF THESE THINGS JUST LET'S ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT BONDS THAT'S FORMED.
CURRICULUM [NOISE] AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ME, THOSE THAT WE CAN FIND ACTUALLY HELPS TO GET BACK [INAUDIBLE].
I APPRECIATE GETTING ALL THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN WORK AND PRIORITIZING THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO COMPLETE THIS AS IT BREAK GROUNDS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH SUCH ADVANCED [INAUDIBLE].
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH [INAUDIBLE].
JUST READING MY NOTES FROM OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WHICH WE JUST [INAUDIBLE] THREE WEEKS AGO.
LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT WITH A MACROECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE, IF WE LOOK INTO [NOISE] THE REALITIES OF HERE AND NOW, THE IMPERATIVES OF THE HERE AND NOW, WHICH IS FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS, INFLATION, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS WE HAVE, WHETHER IT'S THE GRANT, WHETHER IT'S THE PROMISE TO THE VOTER, OR WHETHER WITH SOME STAKEHOLDERS WITH FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PROJECT.
THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE TO FULFILL AND DELIVER AS PROMISED AND WITH LEGAL OBLIGATIONS SUCH AS [INAUDIBLE].
>> [NOISE] YOU'VE LISTED THREE BICYCLE PROJECT CENTER.
ARE THOSE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO DO OR ARE THOSE THINGS THAT WE COULD DO IF WE DELAYED SOME FUNDING FOR JOHN WESLEY POWELL OR WHATEVER?
>> WELL AGAIN, THE STAFF IS FAIRLY CONFIDENT, ALTHOUGH AS MARTIN INDICATED, HE DOESN'T EXACTLY HAVE IT WORKED OUT IN THE FORM OF A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM SUMMARY THAT I CAN HAND TO COUNCIL LIKE WE DID ALREADY.
SO WE STILL NEED TO REVISE THAT TO SHOW YOU THE 550K AND WHERE IT CAME FROM.
BUT WE'RE CONFIDENT AS STAFF THAT WE CAN FIND THE 550K TO FUND THE DESIGN OF PROJECTS THAT WILL THEN SET US UP TO SEEK GRANTS.
>> EXPLAIN THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT MAYBE WE CAN DELAY JOHN WESLEY POWELL OR ROUTE 66 OR WHATEVER, DO WE NEED TO DELAY THOSE TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S DESIGNER-FRIENDLY?
THE CONNECTION THERE IS THE WORK PROGRAM, THE CONNECTION THERE IS THAT WE ONLY HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF PROJECT MANAGERS TO DELIVER PROJECTS, AND RIGHT NOW THE PROGRAM DOES SAY WE'RE GOING TO
[03:40:01]
DELIVER JOHN WESLEY POWELL IN A CERTAIN YEAR.[OVERLAPPING] SO THE DELAY THERE, IF WE GET GRANTS HERE, THEN WE DELAY THOSE OTHER PROJECTS JUST BECAUSE OF OUR LIMITED RESOURCES.
>> IS IT A DECISION THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE TODAY OR IN THE NEAR FUTURE?
BUT I LEAVE THAT UP TO THE WISDOM OF THE COUNCIL.
>> [INAUDIBLE] DELAY CERTAIN STREET PROJECTS.
BUT NOW, [INAUDIBLE] WELL, WE DON'T REALLY NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION, AT LEAST NOT NOW.
>> OKAY. WHEN WE GET TO IT, WE'LL GET TO IT.
>> [INAUDIBLE] RECOGNIZED CONVERSATIONS [INAUDIBLE] MANY OTHER [LAUGHTER] HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TEAM IS VERY BUSY AND THAT IF WE WANTED TO THROW ONE OF THESE PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE, MAKE IT HAPPEN, WE SHOULD PLAN FOR IT, WE SHOULD SCHEDULE, ADD IT TO THE LIST.
IT CAN'T JUST BE SOMETHING THAT WE THROW IN AND PUT TO THE FRONT [INAUDIBLE].
IF OUR SHOPPING CART LIST IS FIVE-YEAR CIP, WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE ARE IN THERE [OVERLAPPING] [INAUDIBLE] TIME FROM STAFF.
>> IN SPITE OF HEARING FROM YOU, WE DO NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.
DO WE WANT TO DELAY SOMETHING SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THIS GETS DONE?
>> [INAUDIBLE] WE CAN GET SOMETHING DONE.
>> I'M HEARING TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
>> REALLY IT ISN'T TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
I HAVE THE STAFFING TO DO THE DESIGN NECESSARY TO SEEK GRANTS.
I DON'T HAVE THE STAFFING TO DELIVER CONSTRUCTION OF THESE PROJECTS IF WE GET A GRANT, WITHOUT DELAYING SOME OTHER PROJECT IN THE PROGRAM, BUT I DON'T KNOW YET WHAT THAT IS.
UNTIL I GET THERE DEPENDING ON HOW THE OTHER PROJECTS MOVE FORWARD OR NOT.
I MEAN, WE ALL KNOW THAT SOMETIMES PROJECTS STALL OUT.
WE ALL KNOW THAT TOMORROW THERE WILL BE A WHOLE NEW PROJECT I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT TODAY.
YEAH, RIGHT NOW UNTIL I GET A GRANT, I'M FEELING LIKE I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
>> IN TOTAL IF THAT HAPPENS, YOU DON'T REALLY NEED TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS ON PRIORITIES.
>> THAT'S WHAT I MEANT. WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK TO COUNCIL IF WE FIND OUT FROM STACY BK, THAT WE GET A GRANT, WE'LL COME BACK TO COUNCIL, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW OUR RESOURCES NEED TO NOW ALIGN WITH THESE PRIORITIES.
>> ALL RIGHT. [NOISE] MY OTHER UNRELATED QUESTION IS, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THESE PROJECTS ARE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
I MEAN, I KNOW WHERE RIORDAN ROAD IS, IS THAT THE SAME AS RIORDAN RANCH STREET?
>> RIORDAN RANCH IS THE ONE THAT COMES FROM TARGET'S PARKING LOT, IF YOU WILL, AND GOES NORTH-SOUTH, AND IT DEAD-ENDS AT RIORDAN.
>> IS THERE SOME CONCEPT TO MAKE THAT INTO A BIKE-FRIENDLY ROAD THERE? AT SOME POINT, I HOPE THAT WE CAN MAYBE GET A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THESE, THAT IS TRANSPORTATION, COMMISSION MEETING, OR WHATEVER.
>> I'D BE INTERESTED IN JUST KNOWING MORE DETAIL.
>> I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT FOR NOW. THANK YOU.
I'M ENTHUSIASTIC [INAUDIBLE] FLEXIBILITY.
I'M OKAY WITH DELAYING SOME OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS TO GET THIS UNDERWAY AND GET IT DONE [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU FOR THE PROBLEM-SOLVING APPROACH THAT EVERYBODY IS [INAUDIBLE] TO BRING THESE ASSOCIATIONS TO US.
IT'S REALLY EXCITING, IT'S A BIG REVEAL, THANK YOU.
JUST GENERALLY SAYING I'M SUPPORTIVE OF PRIORITIZING THESE CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS AND IMPLEMENTING THEM.
IF THE FUNDING COMES IN I'LL BE USING STOP TIME TO GET THEM DONE AT THE COST OF DELAY IN SOME OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS WHICH HAVE MORE DETAILED CONVERSATIONS [INAUDIBLE] I TOO WOULD LOVE A LITTLE KEY EVEN JUST NOW A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT THIS NEEDS, SOUTHERN PROTECTED INTERSECTION DOESN'T MEAN MUCH TO ME.
I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE SLIDES WITH SOME GENERAL NAPKIN SKETCH WORK OF IT FOR SOME OF THESE THINGS, BUT THAT'D BE NICE JUST TO HAVE IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD.
I'M NOT SURE HOW THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT STUFF PLACE INTO THIS HERE
[03:45:01]
FOCUSING ON THE WORK PROJECTS AND THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ASIDE, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE TO TALK ABOUT IT.LEARNED YESTERDAY [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT THIS WIDENING OF THE GWP BRIDGE OVER I17, I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.
I'M NOT CONVINCED IT'S NECESSARY, I GUESS I'M SKEPTICAL OF THE NEED TO DOUBLE UP THOSE ROADS.
BECAUSE YOU NEED A COMPETITIVE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE.
I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
BUT THAT SERVES THE NEIGHBORHOOD POPULATION, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY SERVE QUITE THE POPULATION COMING INTO THE AIRPORT FROM BEULAH [INAUDIBLE] AND I'VE WALKED DOGS AND BIKED WITH MY KIDS AT [INAUDIBLE] ITSELF OVER THAT BRIDGE.
JUST LIKE A GAME REGRESSION WITH THAT FOR SURE, IT'S ACTUALLY VERY DANGEROUS.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE DETAILS OF THAT CONVERSATION WHEN APPROPRIATE I REALIZED, [INAUDIBLE] THANKS FOR PUTTING IT ON OUR RADAR.
I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF COLUMNIST SYRIA IS ITS DETAILS.
THEN IT'S RELEVANT TO MENTION THAT BECAUSE IF WE ARE GOING TO DELAY THE SOUTH LAKE MARY TO AIRPORT EXTENSION, I DON'T KNOW.
IT AFFECTS THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
IT MIGHT BE MORE NECESSARILY A CASE, AS WE EXPANDED OUT [INAUDIBLE] I'M NOT CONVINCED IT IS NECESSARY, BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE VOICE TO THAT.
ALSO I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHERE WE'RE AT IN TERMS OF HOW SUCCESSFUL THIS PILOT PROJECT HAS BEEN AND WHAT ARE MAJORITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GOING TO BE, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
FORGIVE ME FOR MY IGNORANCE, I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHEN THAT CONVERSATION IS SLATED FOR.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS COMING UP, IT'S JUST IS.
THAT'LL BE REALLY INTERESTING AND SHED SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILED LIGHT ON ALL OF THIS.
I THINK I HAVE ANOTHER THOUGHT, ALSO WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS POTENTIAL CONCEPT OF SOME PEDESTRIAN HEAD OVERPASS AT BUTLER [INAUDIBLE] WHICH IS A GOOD IDEA OR A BAD IDEA.
WE'LL TRY AND TACKLE TOO AND THAT WAS THE SIZE OF THE INTERSECTION AND THE DESIGN THERE, SO LOTS OF THINGS AT PLAY.
JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY HERE STILL.
BUT IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE A GAME PLAN FOR HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH GETTING WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT WE WANT OUT OF THIS FOR THE TIME BEING AND THAT'S ENCOURAGING, EXCITED ABOUT IT. [BACKGROUND]
>> THANK YOU. I'LL COME RIGHT BACK.
I JUST NEED TO POINT OUT TO ALL OF US THAT THE RELOCATION OF OUR HOSPITAL NAH IS GOING TO HAVE TREMENDOUS IMPACTS.
[BACKGROUND] THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL WILL HAVE DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CASE COMING FORWARD AND DAN CAN SPEAK MORE TO THAT, BUT I MEAN, WE'VE HAD GLIMPSES THAT SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY TRAFFIC MODELING, THERE WILL BE TREMENDOUS IMPACTS.
>> ONE MORE THING THAT'S NOT ON THIS LIST IS THE FOURTH STREET RIGHT SIZING, AND [INAUDIBLE] ALREADY KNOW YOU'VE SHARED THAT THIS CONVERSATION IS BAD, BUT MAYBE THE NEXT STEP IS TO BRING THOSE CONVERSATIONS TO COUNCIL, GIVE US AN UPDATE.
BUT I DO THINK IT SHOULD BE PART OF THIS LIST BECAUSE ALL THESE PROJECTS ARE PRIMARILY IN THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN AND THE FOURTH STREET REALLY CREATES MORE BALANCE AND EQUITY IS OUR APPROACH.
DO YOU WANT US TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT? KNOWING THAT THE ORDERING IN FOURTH STREET ARE MORE OR LESS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE TO ADDRESS AS MORE POLITICAL AS WELL.
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PROJECT [INAUDIBLE] TIME.
I'M ADDRESSING MY CHALLENGE TO YOU, COUNCILOR MCCARTHY BECAUSE AS MUCH AS I KNOW THAT OUR TEAM CAN BE FLEXIBLE AND [INAUDIBLE] AND ALSO THEY GRANT OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS UPCOMING YEAR FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, I WOULD ASSUME WE'RE GOING TO GET ONE OR TWO OF THESE FUNDING WITH GRANTS.
[03:50:03]
IF WE GET THE EAR MICROSOMAL POWERING, AMEN.BUT I DOUBT WE'LL GET THAT, TO BE HONEST. I'M NOT RELYING ON THAT.
I'LL EXPECT ONE WITH TWO GRANTS AND THEN THE REORDERING IN THE FOURTH STREET ARE PRETTY JUST PAINT.
I WOULD SAY THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS IN OUR FIVE-YEAR CIP AND NOT JUST WING IT WHEN IT COMES UP.
THEN JUST THINK WE CAN SOMEHOW SQUEEZE IT IN FOR THE SAKE OF OUR TEAM, THEIR WORK LOAD.
I GUESS, SORRY FOR MY REDUNDANCY, BUT IN MY LITTLE MIND I LIKE TO SEE A NATURAL PROGRESSION OF A PROJECT, THAT IS, YOU PLAN IT WHICH IS WHERE WE HAVE COMMUNITY DISCUSSION, WE ALL START TO COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SO THAT WHEN CAPITAL STARTS BRINGING CONTRACTS IN FRONT OF COUNCIL TO HIRE DESIGNERS AND THEN ULTIMATELY CONTRACTORS.
I MEAN, NO OFFENSE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET HUNG UP AT THAT POINT IN TIME WHEN WE'RE STARTING TO GET THE MACHINE OFF.
WE WANT TO HAVE ALL THE, WHAT IS THE PROJECTS, I CALL IT SCOPING THE PROJECT, THAT HAPPENS IN THE PLANNING PHASE.
PLANNING PHASES CAN BE IN THE PROGRAM FOR SURE.
BUT IN MY MIND IT'S PREMATURE TO START TRYING TO THROW MONEY FOR CONSTRUCTION IN UNTIL WE'VE DONE THOSE FIRST STEPS.
THAT'S IN JUST MY LITTLE SIMPLETON APPROACH.
>> WHEN YOU SAY MONEY FOR CONSTRUCTION, DO YOU MEAN PROJECT MANAGER TIME?
>> WELL, THERE'S PROJECT MANAGER TIME ASSOCIATED WITH PLANNING AS WELL AS DESIGN, BUT WE GO BIG WHEN YOU GET TO CONSTRUCTION.
>> IS THERE A WAY THAT MAYBE WE DON'T TOUCH THE MORE FLEXIBLE 2023-2024 OUR PROJECTS, BUT WE SOMEHOW SEND IT OUT THAT THIS FLEXIBILITY THAT THESE CAN HOP IN AHEAD OF THEM?
>> I THINK THAT FLEXIBILITY IS INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM THAT STAFF BRINGS TO COUNSEL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
>> BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME OTHERWISE THAT THERE'S TOO MUCH ON OUR LIST.
>> THEREFORE JUMP INTO CONSTRUCTION.
>> YES. THAT'S MY CONCERN IS IF WE GET TO CONSTRUCTION, WHICH I HOPE WE DO ONE DAY, AND DESIGN WORK IS STEP ONE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE SETTING UP OUR FUTURE SUCCESS AND NOT PUSHING THIS BACK ANOTHER FIVE, 10 MORE YEARS TO DO [INAUDIBLE] .
WHERE DO THOSE [INAUDIBLE] TALK ABOUT?
>> GENERALLY YES, COUNCIL MEMBER.
THEN I WOULD, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, RECOGNIZING CARBON NEUTRALITY IN THEM ALL I WOULD PICTURE TWO LANES EACH DIRECTION WITH SOME MIDDLE TURN LANE AND THEN EDGE IMPROVEMENTS, CURB GUTTER, SIDEWALK.
WHETHER THERE'S BIKE LANES OR NOT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
IT STILL MADE THAT ROUTE TODAY.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE WORKING WITH METRO PLAN WHO CAN FACILITATE DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN RIORDAN AND OF CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, OF COURSE, THE COUNTY AND THE EU.
RECOGNIZING IT'S AN EIGHT-HOUR ROUTE WE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO ON WASTE WATER 66.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM PUSHING IN WASTE WATER 66 OUT RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T THINK IT HAS ANY PLACE IN FIVE-YEAR PLAN.
>> YEAH, WE DO. WE GET COMPLAINTS ON A REGULAR BASIS ABOUT LACK OF SIDEWALKS.
>> [INAUDIBLE], CAN I JUST FIX SIMILAR POINTS 25 MINUTES IN.
DO WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD OR DO WE STAY ON THIS TOPIC?
>> WE CAN COME BACK TO THIS TOPIC.
>> REAL QUICK, SHOULD WE DO THAT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S TIME FOR OTHERS OR DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO COMPLETE THIS?
>> I'M JUST NOT CLEAR ON WHAT IS BEING ASKED AT THIS MOMENT.
IS IT TO EARMARK 550,000 FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR BASIC GRANTS OR IS IT A QUESTION OF DELAYING SOME OF OUR CIP PROJECTS? IT SOUNDED READY TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AT THIS MOMENT.
>> I BELIEVE THERE ARE TWO TOPICS ON THE TABLE AND I THINK WHAT YOU'RE HEARING FROM RICK AND [INAUDIBLE], IT'S POSSIBLE SEEM TO BE AN AGREEMENT IS THE INANITY JUST TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PRODUCT WHEN IT IS 550,000 FOR DESIGN FOR THESE BIKE AND PET PROJECTS.
THERE'S NO DISCUSSION ON THAT.
THERE'S FOLLOW UP DISCUSSION ON WHETHER THAT NEEDS TO PREEMPT OTHER PROJECTS OR PUSH THEM OFF THE FIVE-YEAR LIST.
[03:55:02]
I THINK YOU'RE HEARING THAT WE SHOULD BE NIMBLE FOR A WHILE AND THEN COME BACK WHEN WE GET TO CONSTRUCTION TIME ON THIS.THERE'S PROBABLY SOME CONSENSUS TO DOING THAT.
I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE END OF THAT DISCUSSION AT ALL.
THIS MAYBE PREMATURE TO START KNOCKING THINGS OFF THE LIST AT THIS POINT.
THE IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY IS THAT THESE ARE ADDED TO THE LIST.
>> MAYBE WHAT I HEARD IS THAT 4TH STREET OUGHT TO BE ON THE LIST.
THAT IS SOMEWHAT OF A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION. EXCUSE ME.
BASICALLY TAKE SOME CAR LANES AND CREATE BIKING ENTITIES.
>> IF I MAY, I MIGHT SUGGEST ON THAT, BUT WE DO HAVE A PLAN.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S A DATED PLAN, BUT THERE WAS A PLAN [INAUDIBLE].
WHAT IF WE TOOK THAT OFF AND GET THAT IN FRONT OF COUNCIL [INAUDIBLE] REGARDING THAT DISCUSSION?THAT MAY INFORMED THE DECISION TO GET IT ON THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN RECOGNIZE.
I THINK THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A PLAN IS INDICATIVE THAT THIS MAY BE A POLITICAL WILL TO DO SOMETHING AT LEAST THERE WAS AT SOME POINT.
>> THAT'S MY HOPE WITH ALL THIS IS THAT WE CAN REALLY START BRINGING THESE THINGS TO COUNCIL.
HOPEFULLY, GET SOME FUNDING ONCE WE HAVE THE DESIGN AND WORK TIME.
THEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIT THEM INTO OUR SCHEDULE.
I'M JUST TRYING TO SET UP OUR TEAM FOR SUCCESS.
BUT LIKE YOU SAID, BITE-SIZED HITTING.
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE COULD GET GOING ON SEE IT LATER.
>> ABSOLUTELY ONE FINAL COMMENT ON FIVE-YEAR PLAN.
NOT JUST SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE EXPERT HERE AND THE ENGINEERS LIVE WITH THIS PLAN, FIXED IT THIS WAY AS A ROAD-MAP.
THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN IS INHERENTLY A LITTLE BIT SIMPLE. THINGS HAPPEN.
WE CANNOT ALWAYS PROJECT OUT WHERE THE EMERGENCY PROJECTS THIS YEAR THAT UNFORTUNATELY HAD NO ANTICIPATION OF.
THOSE ARE HAPPENING WITHOUT BUMPING OTHER THINGS OFF THE LIST PER SE.
THEY'RE JUST HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY NEED TO HAPPEN.
I THINK NECESSARILY BECAUSE OF CONSTRAINT RESOURCES IT MEANS SOME THINGS WILL PROBABLY GET REPRIORITIZED OVER TIME.
EVERYTHING THAT'S FREE SQUASH THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WAS NOT ON THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN A YEAR AGO.
WE'VE GOT A FEW THINGS IN PLAY, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW.
>> I THINK WE'RE WELL-ALIGNED AND I THINK WE HEAR COUNCIL LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THESE ARE PRIORITIES.
AND WE NEED TO START WORKING ON THEM.
>> [INAUDIBLE] TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FUTURE DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT IN TERMS OF MESSAGING AMONG US AND WITHIN THE COMMUNITY IS TO BE AWAY FROM THE CONVERSATION ABOUT DELAYING PROJECT BECAUSE WE'RE FIXED WITH THIS FIVE-YEAR PROGRAM.
BUT INSTEAD, WE WERE EXPANDING THE FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS OR PROGRAMS PRIORITIES.
BUT THAT REQUIRES INCREASING CAPACITY OF STAFF AND BASIC CAPACITY FOR BUDGET IN THAT INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES WE WORK FOR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND IN FUNDING ITS STANDARD FUNDAMENTALS.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO ABANDON THE COMMITMENTS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY WITH BORDERS WITH 419 AND 420 AND OTHER PLANS IN PLACE THAT NATURALLY IS IN THE REGION TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN EMBEDDED TO THE COMMUNITY AND SUPPORTED AND BY NATURAL PLANS.
>> RICK, I THINK WAS THAT, GARY YOU MIGHT BE NEXT WITH TREATMENT PLAN CAPACITY.
>> YEAH, LET'S KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING ON.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. MY NAME'S GARY MILLER.
I'M THE WATER SERVICES ENGINEERING SECTION DIRECTOR.
WE GAVE A PRESENTATION ON MARCH 31ST RELATED TO THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT, CAPACITY, AND THE OVERALL CAPITAL PLAN WITH THE INSIST THAT WE HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES AND ARE CONTINUING TO BRING
[04:00:01]
CHANGES TO THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE TREATMENT CAPACITY ISSUES THAT WE'RE HAVING.I WILL NOTE THAT THE DIGESTIVE PROJECT IS STILL MOVING FORWARD.
THAT WAS BUDGETED THIS LAST YEAR, IT'S MOVING FORWARD AND WE'VE ADDED SOME MONEY TO THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT TO HELP THE SIZE OF THAT DIGESTIVE PROJECT FROM ONE-BASIN TO TWO-BASIN.
AGAIN, THAT HAS SOLIDS TREATMENT CAPACITY AS THE WILDCAT PLANT.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAVE THE FLOW DIVERSION OPTION ONE, WHICH WAS A PROJECT IDENTIFIED IN THE BIOSOLIDS MASTER PLAN TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL CAPACITY IN THE INTERIM SO WE CAN ADD CAPACITY AT WILDCAT TO TREAT THE ADDITIONAL WATER CAPACITY.
THAT FLOW DIVERSION PROJECT, BEST CASE SCENARIO, WE WERE HOPING FOR WAS GOING TO COST AROUND FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
NOW THAT WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO ANALYZE SOME OF THE INFORMATION OF DATA THAT WE SEE, WE HAVE TO PUT IT IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION, WHICH IS PROBABLY GOING TO DOUBLE THE COST OF THAT PROJECT FROM FIVE MILLION DOLLARS TO $10 MILLION.
THEN FINALLY, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT FLOOR DIVERSION OPTION TOO, WHICH WAS IDENTIFIED IN BIOSOLIDS MASTER PLAN, WHICH IS A THICKENING HALL OF OUR SOLIDS AT THE REAL PLANT, AND TAKING THOSE SOLIDS TO WILDCATS TO BE TREATED.
I KNOW IT'S NOT THE BEST OPTION AND THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT HAVE CONCERNS WITH THAT OPTION, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT OTHER POSSIBILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
WE'RE TRYING TO PUT NUMBERS TOGETHER AS WE SPEAK AT ANY TODAY, IN FACT TALK ABOUT THAT ACCOUNT FOR NUMBERS FOR YOU AT THIS POINT IN TIME, BUT THOSE ARE ADDITIONS TO THE BUDGET THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, TO ADDRESS THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITY.
>> VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH, GARY AND I WANT TO ALSO THANK THE ENTIRE TEAM OUT THERE.
TEAM GOOGLE, TEAM BERGELSON, THE STAFF AREA, AND OTHERS THAT BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS ACTUALLY BEEN A VERY COLLABORATIVE DISCUSSION OF LATE.
PLANNERS, ATTORNEYS, ENGINEERS WERE HAVING SOME DEEP DIVE INTO THIS.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS DISCUSSION FOR YOU TODAY IS IN THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN WE ALREADY HAD THAT FIRST OPTION IDENTIFY AND FUNDED OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO LOAD THAT INTO A SINGLE YEAR PROJECT THAT IS DEPENDENT ON SOME THINGS HAPPENING FAVORABLY.
AS WE ALL KNOW RIGHT NOW IN THIS TIME OF DELAYED CONSTRUCTION AND RAPIDLY INCREASING COSTS, THAT'S THE BEST THAN A CERTAINTY, BUT IT IS A PRIORITY FOR US AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH IT ACCORDINGLY.
I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING BACK TO THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.
IT'S NOT NECESSARILY TAKING ANYTHING OFF THE TABLE, OR AT LEAST RATHER MOVING SOMETHING UP THAT'S RATHER URGENT.
AS GARY MENTIONED, IT WILL BUY US A LITTLE BIT OF TIME CAPACITY-WISE.
THE NEXT OPTION, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE ENGINEERS ARE SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS ON THIS AND LOOKING AT IT CAREFULLY.
THERE MIGHT BE SOME OTHER OPTIONS THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE SAME RESULT.
ALL ON THE END THE RESULT BEING BUYING A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AT THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN.
I THINK I WANTED TO ADD, WHAT GARY IS SAYING IS OUT THERE ON THE HORIZON, SOME OF YOU WILL LIKELY STILL BE IN OFFICE TO SEE THIS COME TO FRUITION.
IS THE BIG FIX. IN THE BIG FIX IS A PLACEMENT OR THE OVERHAUL OF THE WILDCAT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
THAT ONE'S GOING TO BE RATHER LARGE IN TERMS OF SCOPE AND IN TERMS OF COSTS.
WE'RE NOT READY TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION YET, BUT WE'RE READY TO SET THE STAGE FOR THAT DISCUSSION TO OCCUR IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE AND MORE ABOUT THIS.
IT ISN'T AS URGENTLY AS THE TEAM PRESENTED BACK IN SEPTEMBER WITH OUR CONSULTANT AND WITH GRANITE HILL IN THE ROOM.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE ON THIS AND GROWTH CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.
THE PLANT CANNOT TAKE ON MORE WITHOUT THESE THINGS HAPPENING.
THERE IS THAT BIGGER DISCUSSION THAT LIES OUT THERE BEEN ANY IMMEDIATE STIFF OF THINGS.
IT'S THE TWO ITEMS THAT GARY TALKED ABOUT, ONE WE HAVE SOME DEFINITIVES ON THE ANOTHER ONE THE ENGINEERS ARE STILL PONDERING OTHER POSSIBILITIES, STAY TUNED FOR THAT.
THIS ONE'S NOT TRULY DISCRETIONARY AND THIS ONE COULD VARY WELL PREAMP,
[04:05:04]
OTHER PROJECTS FROM HAPPENING AS TIME MARCHES ON IT WILL RISE TO THAT LEVEL WHERE IT IS GOING TO CONSUME A LOT OF RESOURCES WHEN IT HAPPENS. IS THAT OKAY?>> SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE'RE HAVING TODAY WITH THE CONSULTANTS, WE STARTED TO OUTLINE THE TIMELINE OF WHEN WE CAN POTENTIALLY HAVE SOME OF THE ULTIMATE EXPANSION IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED AT WILDCAT.
IF WE WERE TO START PLANNING AND DISARMING ALL OF THAT PROCESS TODAY, WE'RE TEN YEARS OF HAVING ANY OF THAT ONLINE.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE US THAT LONG, JUST GET THIS STUFF GET IN PLACE.
[NOISE] WE'RE HONEST THAT WE HAVE BUDGETED [NOISE]ARE CRITICAL TO GET US DOWN THE ROAD TEN YEARS.
BUT IT'S ALSO PROVED THAT THEY START TO BUDGET FOR THE DESIGN COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT [INAUDIBLE].
>> I ALWAYS JUST HAVING SO MUCH INTEREST.
[LAUGHTER] WE JUST LOOKED AND TALKED ABOUT WASTEWATER TREATMENT BUT [LAUGHTER].
YEAH ABOUT QUESTIONS, DO YOU HAVE?
>> I DON'T REALLY HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I JUST APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE BRINGING IN STUFF NOW AND IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT CONVERSATION AND WE NEED TO HAVE A LOT MORE AS STUDENTS.
THANK YOU TO ARNOLD, I WANTED TO JUST SAY HIS ADVOCACY, MADE BY A CONTEND, AND INTEGRATE JUST FOR THE OPEN CONVERSATION.
I REALLY APPRECIATE [INAUDIBLE] .
EVERYBODY HAVE A [INAUDIBLE] AND HAVE A SEAT.
[LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING] THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DOCUMENTS IN ALL CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.
>> YES. [LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND] WE HAVE THE ACTUAL LIST, IT'S BEEN PRINTED IN THE BUDGET BOOK, EVERY YEAR, THAT IS.
YOU COULD LOOK IN THE FY22 BUDGET BOOK AND YOU COULD SEE THE UNFUNDED LIST AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
UNFORTUNATELY, THAT LIST JUST CONTINUES TO GROW, AND SURE ENOUGH, HERE WE ARE, THIS BUDGET CYCLE, WORKING WITH ALL THE DIVISIONS, THINGS ARE BEING ADDED TO THIS LIST.
SOME OF THE ITEMS ON THE LIST ARE BEING WORKED THROUGH THE CITIZEN BOND COMMITTEE, SPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE WASTEWATER AND UTILITY STUFF THAT YOU'VE JUST HEARD FROM.
WITH THAT AS A BACKGROUND, THIS IS JUST THE DIVISIONAL SUBTOTALS, IF YOU WILL.
ALL THOSE ADD UP TO ABOUT $1.3 BILLION.
THEY ARE LEGITIMATE NEEDS IN ALL THESE CATEGORIES, AND THEY ARE IN ADDITION TO EVERYTHING ELSE WE'VE BEEN TALKING OF.
WE HAVE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AT 14 MILLION, FIRE HAS JUST UNDER 12, POLICE DEPARTMENT STAND AT EIGHT.
I CAN READ THE LIST, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, YOU GET DOWN TO TRANSPORTATION.
I WOULD ASK COUNCIL, IS THERE ANY DESIRE TO TALK DETAIL ON ANY OF THIS STUFF?
>> YOU WANT TO BE DEPRESSED WITH THE RECORDS?
>> SOME OVERLAP THERE, FOR EXAMPLE, WASTEWATER, MUNICIPAL FACILITIES, AIRPORT.
>> THERE MAY BE SOME SMALL OVERLAP BECAUSE THE DIVISIONS HAVE LOOKED AT THIS STUFF [NOISE] BY THEMSELVES, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF OVERLAP.
[NOISE] WE TRY TO UPDATE THIS LIST ON AN ANNUAL BASIS WORKING WITH RICK CHATTER AND HIS TEAM.
STORMWATER, THAT'S A RECENT NUMBER.
COUNCIL SAID SEVERAL PRESENTATIONS THAT WERE JUDGED WITH WHAT WE BROUGHT TO YOU, THE RECLAIM NUMBERS IN THERE, DRINKING WATER, WASTEWATER.
>> IT'S TIME WE THOUGHT, COUNCIL, NOT TO DIVE INTO THIS LIST IN MUCH DETAIL, BUT JUST LOOKING IT THROUGH THE LENS OF A PLUTONIC CHARLIE PLAN.
THAT'S WHY WHEN WE FIRST CREATED THIS LIST AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED WE DID IT THROUGH, BUT I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK WE NEED TO GET INTO THE DETAILS OF IT NOW,
[04:10:05]
BUT I'M HAPPY TO HEAR [INAUDIBLE].THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MY MIND IS, AS WE PRIORITIZE THIS THINGS MOVING FORWARD, WHAT HELPS ALIGN US AND THE POWERLESS LINES OF NEUTRALITY VERSUS WHAT DOESN'T.
THAT'S HOW I PERSONALLY PRIORITIZE IT.
IT'S THE SAME DEGREE. THAT'S ALL.
>> THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION I DID YESTERDAY AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INTERRUPTION YESTERDAY.
AS WE WERE TALKING THROUGH OPERATING, CAPITALS WHERE THE RUBBER'S REALLY GOING TO MEET THE ROAD AND CURVE THE NEUTRALITY, IN MY OPINION.
>> I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU.
>> WITH KNOWLEDGE OUT THERE, KNOW THAT YOU CAN REACH OUT TO STAFF AND ASK FOR THE LIST.
GLORICE IS ABLE TO PULL IT UP NOW.
LIKE I SAID, IT'S IN THE CURRENT BUDGET BOOK.
THERE'S PARTS, FOR INSTANCE, $119 MILLION.
I'M JUST GUESSING IT'S THIS BLOCK OF PROJECTS RIGHT HERE, BUT THAT'S GOT TO BE 20 DIFFERENT PROJECTS.
YOU'RE GOING TO START RECOGNIZING EVERY QUARTILE. NEXT SLIDE.
>>I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS SLIDE.
TYLER AND I WENT BACK AND LISTENED TO THE MARCH 31ST RETREAT SHANNON HAD WRITTEN, AND I ENDEAVORED TO PUT TOGETHER WHAT COUNCIL IDENTIFIED TO BE ITS HOMEWORK.
THERE'S JULIAN, NOT WITH US THAT DAY, KATIE WAS.
BUT THIS WAS ONE OF THE OUTCOMES OF THAT RETREAT AND IT WAS, I THINK, IDENTIFIED TO REVISIT AT THIS TIME.
I WILL MENTION THAT I THINK JUST TOUCHED ON THE FIRST BULLET ITEM.
I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT WE'RE AT CLOSURE THERE, BUT I'VE GOT A VERY PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSION.
I SEE COUNCIL MEMBERS SHIMON NOT IN HIS HEAD, SO THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.
I DON'T THINK IT IS THE END OF THE DISCUSSION, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WEREN'T THERE BEFORE.
A LOT OF THIS HAS BEEN MADE TO OCCUR AND POSSIBLE OTHER PROJECTS.
>>I BELIEVE WOULD BE REDRESSED TO THE LAST BULLET POINT.
MY ONLY COMMENT WOULD BE, LET'S DIVE INTO THE BATTLE, BUT IN THE FUTURE WITH A FIVE-YEAR CIP, IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR FUTURE COUNCILS, THAT I WON'T BE PART OF, TO AT LEAST HAVE THE CHOICE AS TO HOW TO PRIORITIZE WHAT'S BEING ADDED TO THE LIST.
>> A DISCUSSION LIKE THIS ONE TODAY, AND GOING BACK TO MARCH 31ST, I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S A NEW THING IN THE BUDGET PROCESS, BUT I DO THINK IT'S AN EXPANSION OF DISCUSSIONS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE BUDGET PROCESS.
I MENTIONED TO STAFF IN PREPARATION FOR THE MARCH 31ST, MAYBE THIS IS A TEMPLATE FOR FUTURE BUDGET PROCESSES.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT NEEDS TO OCCUR EVERY YEAR BECAUSE PRESUMABLY EVERY OTHER YEAR WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO SAME COUNCIL, RIGHT? BUT EVERY IN-BETWEEN YEAR, IT'LL BE A NEW COUNCIL AND THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO PULL OUT THE FIVE-YEAR PLANNING AND GO THROUGH IT.
AND THEN WE HAVE EVERY YEAR A PROCESS OF WHAT'S GETTING ADDED OR PERHAPS DELETED FROM THE BASE, BUT NOT THE FULL-BLOWN THING LIKE WE HAD ON THE 31ST.
>>PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT'S GREAT, AND THEN THESE LAST ONES.
>> THAT SAID, WE LIKELY WILL REPLICATE IT NEXT YEAR BECAUSE IT WILL BE A NEW COUNCIL.
I THINK THERE'S WISDOM IN HAVING THE NEW COUNCIL SEE HOW THAT LIST IS CREATED AND [INAUDIBLE] INVESTMENT DISCUSSION.
>> [BACKGROUND] THERE'S A PUBLIC MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE.
THEY KNOW THAT THE CAPITAL TEAM HAS A PRIORITIZATION LIST, AND IF THAT'S HELPFUL, WE ABSOLUTELY WILL BE GLAD TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
>> I THINK THAT BIG THINGS COME OUT OF THESE DISCUSSIONS, IN TERMS OF, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT HOW TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS.
THIS PROJECT PROCESS, IT'S A LONG JOURNEY.
WE'VE BEEN AT IT SINCE THE [INAUDIBLE] AND THIS THING STARTED BACK IN SEPTEMBER OR SOMETHING.
BUT IT'S ALMOST A YEAR OR AROUND THERE.
THERE ARE ALWAYS WAYS TO IMPROVE IT.
I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THE PROCESS HAD EVOLVED.
I THINK IT'S BECOME MUCH MORE INCONCEIVABLE, BUT LET'S HOPE THE SPOON-FED INFORMATION.
[04:15:02]
AND PEOPLE ARE HAVING COUNCIL, IT'S SUCH A BIG BUDGET, AND THERE'S SO MUCH TO IT YOU CAN'T GET INTO THE WEEDS ON EVERYTHING.BUT THE THINGS WE'RE TOUCHING ON, I THINK ARE IMPORTANT TO COUNCIL.
WITH RESPECT TO THE MIDDLE BULLET POINTS, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS ONE.
I DO KNOW THAT IT WAS AN OUTCOME OF THE LAST [INAUDIBLE].
>> I THINK WE ORIGINALLY WERE TALKING ABOUT PRIORITIZING IT, BECAUSE OF HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS.
BUT THEN WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO SEAL THE CRASH THERE TO VERIFY THAT MILTON SHOULD BE PRIORITIZED OVER SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS.
I'M NOT SURE WE'RE NEEDING TO GET INTO THAT, ESPECIALLY AFTER WE ONLY JUST HAD A DISCUSSION NOT LONG AGO THAT WE'RE DESIGNING THINGS AND SEEING WHAT CATCHES IN TERMS OF PLUMBING OPTIONS.
>> THEY'RE [INAUDIBLE] AND WE DON'T NEED TO GET INTO IT, BUT I DID, IN THE LAST YEAR, WITH [INAUDIBLE] YOU GO AND WE DIVED INTO IT FURTHER, THE CRASHED DATA.
I WAS JUST SHARING WITH KAREN THAT THOSE [INAUDIBLE] ARE MOST DANGEROUS.
I THINK THE MACHINES WERE NOT VERIFIED BY [INAUDIBLE].
ONCE THERE'S 40 PERCENT OF THE [INAUDIBLE] COLLISIONS THAT CRUMBLES, IT'S A REALLY [INAUDIBLE], AND THE TWO INTERSECTIONS [INAUDIBLE] NEXT HIGHEST LIVE OUT COLLISION SPOTS.
I'M GUESSING IT'S BECAUSE OF THE STUDENT POPULATION, [INAUDIBLE] CARS AND PEOPLE.
AGAIN, WE'RE WAITING ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE THAT COUNCILMAN [INAUDIBLE] ASKED ABOUT, ADDRESSES THAT.
HOPEFULLY, IF WE CAN GET THE FUNDING FOR THOSE PROTECTED INTERSECTIONS, WHICH IS BASICALLY A TRADITIONAL INTERSECTION, BUT IT PRIORITIZES THE MOVEMENT AND COMFORT OF BIPED, WHICH WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT AT A LATER TIME.
HOPEFULLY, THAT'LL MAKE A BIG DENT IN THAT SECTION BULLET POINT.
SO I THINK WE'RE RIGHT ON TRACK.
>> I THINK WE SHOULD [INAUDIBLE] BULLET POINT ON THE INTERSECTION.
THAT WOULD BE GOOD; MY TWO CENTS FOR MY COWORKER.
>> YEAH. THE NUMBER ONE THING OR CRITERIA FOR FUNDING TO ME, IS WHERE DO WE GET MATCHING DOLLARS? RIGHT NOW, AMONGST ANYTHING ELSE, WE GOT, AS WE'RE SITTING, AMAZING STAT IN DOING, APPLYING FOR EVERYTHING, MAKING SURE WE HAVE THE DESIGNS AND SO FORTH, READY TO GO.
WE'RE CONTINUING TO SEE THE NEW REFINEMENTS, HOW THE STRUCTURE LAW IS GOING TO BE ROLLING OUT, AND WHAT CRITERIA WE MAY OR MAY NOT FIT IN.
WE NEED TO BE NIMBLE IN THAT TIME.
IF EVERY DOLLAR WE'RE DROPPING DOWN, WE GET THREE DOLLARS WORTH OF INVESTMENT, THEN THAT'S BETTER OFF TO DO.
ON TOP OF THAT THOUGH, OBVIOUSLY, WE NEED TO REPRIORITIZE [INAUDIBLE] THAT WITHIN THAT REALM, THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY, AND HAVE EYE FOR EQUITY, WHICH IS WHY I WAS GLAD WE BROUGHT UP THE 4TH STREET BECAUSE ALSO IT WAS MATCHING DOLLARS THERE, SO EMPHASIS ON EQUITY IN TERMS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S DOLLARS.
THE MORE WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT'S IN OUR MINDS ALSO, THE MORE THAT WE CAN DIGITALLY ACCESS AND HAVE BETTER GRANT APPLICATIONS.
FOR ONE, WE CAN ALWAYS SEND THEM A COUPLE OF [INAUDIBLE] PROJECTS. I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.
>> A LITTLE BIT OF A COUNTERPOINT TO THAT, I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU SAID.
IT'S THE MOST THING I'VE EVER [INAUDIBLE] MYSELF.
FIRST, I PRIORITIZE WHEN I SEE THE LOGIC.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A COUNTER.
I DO WANT TO GIVE VOICE TO THE CARBON NEUTRALITY CLAIM.
>> MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CAPITAL PROJECTS.
GOOD AWARENESS OF HEAVILY EVALUATING THOSE OTHER CARDS.
[INAUDIBLE] NECESSARILY SAY THAT IT'S FUNNY.
ONE EXAMPLE IS, I BROUGHT THIS UP MYSELF MANY TIMES, I'VE SEEN IT IN RECENT PUBLIC COMMENTS, CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.
OTHER INNOVATIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE MAKING BUILDINGS GREENER, AND MORE CARBON-NEUTRAL, THOSE NEED TO BE PRIORITIZED IN SPITE OF OUR [INAUDIBLE] APPROPRIATE AND VISIBLE.
THAT JUST, THROWING THAT IN THE MIX, THE BALANCE OF THE THINGS [INAUDIBLE]
>> I'LL JUMP IN. [INAUDIBLE] HOME
[04:20:01]
ON [LAUGHTER] YOU SEE ME CHECKING MY PAGES [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER].THIS IS FROM [INAUDIBLE] FORMULAS IS TO THE NEIGHBOR OF BORDER MANDATED PROJECTS.
WE HAVE THE LEGAL OBLIGATION, INVISIBLY GROWING THOSE PROJECTS.
SECONDLY, THE PROJECTS TO IMPLEMENT A SPECIFIC PLANTS.
THE [INAUDIBLE] HAVE A SATISFIED NAME OF THE PLANTS.
ALSO, RETURNING FEES FOR PRIVATE, PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS AND GRANTS.
FORTUNATE PEOPLE ARE COST-SHARING, AND COST RECOVERY, AND INCREASE COMMUNITY RESILIENCY AND EQUITY AND ASSETS.
>> WE APPRECIATE WHAT EVERYONE'S SAYING, AND I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON THE CNP, FOR ME IS A COMPONENT THAT ENCOMPASSES A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, MATCHING DOLLARS, THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP, AND [INAUDIBLE] EQUITY [INAUDIBLE] TALK ABOUT [INAUDIBLE].
>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR THIS SEGMENT?
>> [INAUDIBLE]. I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO TAKE A MOMENT.
FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE BEYOND THIS FRONT ROW, CAN WE ALL STAND FOR A MOMENT? FOR ALL OF YOU [NOISE] [INAUDIBLE] CAN YOU PLEASE STAND? PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT, LIKE A THREE OR FOUR MINUTE, MAYBE FIVE BREAK.
[OVERLAPPING] WHO'S LEADING THE COUNCIL, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE YOU TO JUST TAKE A MOMENT FOR US TO HONOR THIS COUNCIL IN THE WAY THEY ARE SHOWING UP FOR EACH OTHER AND FOR ALL OF US.
YOU ARE AN EXEMPLARY GROUP OF FOLKS.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A STANDING OVATION.
CLAP AND CHEER FOR THEM, PLEASE.
[APPLAUSE] [INAUDIBLE] DEMONSTRATING, THIS IS A MODEL WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER, TO HAVE PASSION, TO CARE, TO INVITE OTHERS INTO THE CONVERSATION, TO LISTEN TO EACH OTHER, TO SEEK TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
IT'S JUST REALLY AN HONOR TO GET TO WITNESS ALL OF YOU TOGETHER.
WITH THAT, LET'S TAKE A LITTLE THREE MINUTE BREAK, BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED IT.
DO JUMPING JACKS IF YOU NEED TO, AND THEN WE'LL START BACK. THANKS EVERYBODY.
[BACKGROUND] WE'RE STARTING TO COME BACK TOGETHER.
WE'RE ROUNDING OUT TOWARDS THE END OF OUR DAY, SO STICK TO THE QUESTION [INAUDIBLE], DO YOU THINK, DO YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC PARTICIPATION?
>> I AM NOT SHOWING ANYBODY [INAUDIBLE].
>> IS THAT [INAUDIBLE]? [OVERLAPPING].
>> THEN, MOVING ON. WE HAVE TWO MORE SEGMENTS OF OUR AFTERNOON.
WE WILL GO TO THE PARKING LOT ADD-ON [INAUDIBLE] ANYTHING WE HAVEN'T YET GOTTEN TO.
THEN FROM THERE, WE REVIEW AND CONFIRM THE COUNCIL'S DIRECTION.
>> ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE NO MONEY, NO MORE DECISIONS. [LAUGHTER]
>> I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET THE OPPOSITE IN PRODUCTION [INAUDIBLE].
>> FOR FIVE YEARS I WON'T GET FLUXED.
>> ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING TO BREAK UP, [INAUDIBLE] THAT HAS BEEN HELPING US WITH THIS PRESENTATION AS WELL AS KEEPING TRACK OF THE PARKING LOT CONVERSATIONS, ABOUT FUNDING AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
WE'VE BEEN PUTTING CANVAS SOURCES AND USES TOGETHER TABLED FOR YOU.
THEY'VE HELPED US WALK THROUGH THIS CONVERSATIONAL JOURNAL SEEING CHANGES TO THE CITY MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDED BUDGET FROM A FINANCIAL ASPECT WHICH IS HERE.
[04:25:03]
HOPEFULLY, THAT'S BIG [INAUDIBLE].
I REALLY APPRECIATE CONFERENCE CONVERSATIONS THESE COUPLE OF DAYS, VERY EFFICIENT, VERY EFFECTIVE AND WE'VE BEEN LISTENING TO YOU AS FAR AS, LOOK BACK AND MAYBE LOOK AT SOME THINGS.
HERE IS A SPREADSHEET THAT WE'LL GO THROUGH.
THE TOP PORTION IS THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE.
INITIALLY, WE STARTED WITH A GENERAL FUND CONVERSATION YESTERDAY ABOUT RESOURCES AVAILABLE, WE HAVE ABOUT 40,000 ONGOING, AND ABOUT 357,000 ONE TIME AT THIS POINT.
WE'VE HAD TALKS ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN ARTS AND SCIENCES THIS LAST DAY AND WE DO HAVE CAPACITY IN THOSE FUNDS.
WE WANTED TO SHARE THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THESE CONVERSATIONS AND ALLOCATE SOME OF YOUR THOUGHTS TO THEM.
THEN WE'VE RECAPPED THE ITEMS YOU'D LIKE TO COME BACK FOR CONVERSATION AND WHAT WE NEED TO ADJUST OUR BUDGET FOR.
A LOT OF CONVERSATION TODAY, SOME CONVERSATIONS YESTERDAY MAINLY WERE RELATED AROUND THE ALTERNATE RESPONSE ITEMS. WE COUNTED [INAUDIBLE] LET THEM IN SOME FASHION OR NOT BUT THAT WAS YESTERDAY'S CONVERSATION.
TODAY WE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT OUR SERVICE PARTNERS.
WE HAVE REQUESTS ABOUT BUSINESS RETENTION, EXPANSION ATTRACTION AS WELL A WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT ON SIDEWALK CLEANUP.
LISTEN, I'M NOT SURE IF THERE IS A NUMBER TO PUT ON HERE OR IF A CONVERSATION STILL NEEDS TO BE HEARD.
THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF WHERE WE'RE AT AND DOWN BELOW IS WHERE WE KEEP OUR RUNNING BALANCE OF FUNDS AVAILABLE TO SEE IF WE CAN MEET THE NEEDS TO REQUEST AND MOVE FORWARD AND COME BACK WITH A BALANCED BUDGET.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT AND IT'S OPEN FOR A CONVERSATION.
WE COULD GO FROM THE TOP DOWN OR WHICHEVER WAY YOU'D LIKE TO APPROACH IT.
IF A COUNSEL HAS MORE AND THIS DOESN'T CLOSE THE DOOR ON THE ASM DELETES PER COUNSEL, MAYBE OTHER THINGS YOU'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT AS FAR AS THINGS YOU WANT US [LAUGHTER] TO INCORPORATE IN THE BUDGET.
SO PLEASE BRING THOSE UP TOO AS WE GO.
>> I'LL START OFF. THAT'S THE CLERK. THANK YOU, MAYOR.
WHAT APPEARS SPECIAL IS, I WOULD SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS.
I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE NON-STOP AFTER YESTERDAY'S RETREAT TALKING TO OTHER ALTERNATE RESPONSE, SPECIFICALLY THIS ONE CALLED [INAUDIBLE] WHO HAS A PEER SPECIALIST THAT INTERVIEWS PEOPLE ON ALTERNATE RESPONSE [INAUDIBLE], ALONG WITH JASON WHO DOES A NATIONAL ALTERNATE RESPONSE NON-PROFIT PROGRAM, AND THEN ALSO MULTIPLE PEOPLE FROM OUR LOCAL TEAM FROM OUR CHAIR SYSTEM.
BASICALLY, THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE I'VE GOTTEN FROM FOLKS IS YES, A PEER SPECIALIST, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S SOMEONE WHO CAN SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF THE POPULATION WILL TRY TO HELP AND ENGAGE WITH, WOULD BE EXTREMELY VALUABLE TO HAVE TODAY, NOT IN A YEAR, BUT TODAY.
SPEAKING WITH JASON FROM THIS NATIONAL NON-PROFIT, HE REALLY RECOMMENDED THAT WE CONSIDER SOMEONE WHO HAS 5-7 YEARS OF SOBRIETY BUT THAT HAS LIVED EXPERIENCE IN SALES AND OBVIOUSLY, SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE, AND THEY WILL HELP TO PROVIDE THE TEAM THE ABILITY TO ENGAGE WITH THE CLIENT IN A WAY THAT ANYONE ELSE REALLY CAN'T.
ALSO, WE'LL BE ABLE TO INFORM THE TEAM ON HOW TO BEST SERVE ITS POPULATION.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IN THE FOUNDATION.
IN THE DESIGNING OF THE TEAM AND HOW IT OPERATES, HAVING PEERS ON THE TEAM FROM THE BEGINNING IS ESSENTIAL BECAUSE IF A CLIENT IS SOMEONE WHO IS GOING THROUGH THESE EXPERIENCES THEMSELVES AND IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, LET'S JUST SAY, AND IS OF A DIFFERENT CULTURE.
HAVING SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE THIS CONNECTION IS CRITICAL. JASON SENTIMENTS.
SOMEONE WHO IS SERVING AS A PEER SPECIALIST IS HIGHLY MOTIVATED TO DO THE WORK.
THEY TAKE THE WORK VERY SERIOUSLY AND ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO HELPING THE CLIENTS.
BECAUSE THEY THEMSELVES FEEL THEY WERE SAVED AND NOW THEY WANT TO GO AND SAVE OTHER PEOPLE AND HELP OTHER PEOPLE OUT.
A PEER SPECIALIST FROM MY RESEARCH WILL CLOSE ABOUT 60,000 DOLLARS.
HE WAS SAYING THAT THE PERSON COULD, BE ON THE VAN ITSELF AND GO OUT WITH THE GROUP, OR CAN ALSO DO CASE MANAGEMENT THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.
[04:30:02]
I KNOW THAT WE'RE JUST GETTING THIS ALTERNATE RESPONSE OFF THE GROUND, BUT FROM EVERYONE I TALKED TO, THEY WERE YES, GET IT IN THERE NOW, AND THAT WILL HELP THE WHOLE PROGRAM MOVING FORWARD.I'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT TOPIC IF YOU WANT ME TO, MAYOR?
>> YEAH. I THINK, IS WE GO AROUND FOR ANY ADD-ONS AT THIS POINT, AND THEN WE CAN START THE OTHER TOPIC. PLEASE GO ON.
>> OKAY, I'LL GIVE YOU A FULL LIST OF EVERYTHING. VERY GOOD.
>> YOU GOT IT, AND THEN IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS, [INAUDIBLE] I FEEL I CAN REALLY ANSWER A LOT ON THIS TOPIC.
DR. JULIE RODY IS AT AN AU AND SHE'S THE ONE WHO'S REALLY WANTING TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY IN REGARDS TO DOING THE EVALUATION.
SHE SAID THAT INTERNAL EVALUATIONS ARE GREAT, BUT THEY REALLY OCCUR LATER ON.
I'M GOING TO SAY THAT EVALUATION IS WHAT SHE'S ASKING US TO CONSIDER AND THAT EVERYONE FINDS EVALUATIONS THREATENING, NOT SAYING THAT WE DO, BUT THIS IS WHAT SHE SHARED WITH ME, AND THAT WE'RE EVALUATING WHETHER OR NOT THE PROGRAM AND THE PROCESSES IN PLACE ARE CAPABLE OF ACCOMPLISHING THE MISSION OF THE PROGRAM ITSELF.
WE ARE NOT EVALUATING WHETHER WE ARE CAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB, BUT RATHER IF WE HAVE TO HAVE CONDUCTED A PROGRAM THAT IS MEETING OUR MISSION.
AGAIN, THIS IS WHAT SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS DO IS THEY EVALUATE.
IT STOPPED PERCENT OF THEIR ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET.
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, IS HOW MUCH THAT ASK WOULD BE.
SHE HAS PARTNERS ACROSS THE NATION THAT SHE CAN LEVERAGE, LIKELY FOR FREE BECAUSE SHE IS CONNECTED TO THEM.
I THINK THAT THIS WOULD JUST REALLY HELP US IN THE FUTURE COUNCIL BE ON THE TRACK TO SUCCESS WITH OUR ALTERNATE RESPONSE AND ENSURING THAT WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING LOOKING AT FINANCIAL COST PLUS BENEFITS AND WHATNOT.
I CAN DIVE IN MORE THERE, BUT I KNOW SPOKE PART OF IT YESTERDAY, I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT FOR THE TWO REQUESTS THAT I HAVE ON THIS LIST.
>> [INAUDIBLE] BUSINESS RETENTION AND ATTRACTION, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADDING?
>> I WISH TO FIND ALL THE UNFUNDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT TO THE TUNE OF 1.5BILLION.
>> THIS [INAUDIBLE] FAIRIES AND [OVERLAPPING] MAYBE JUST KEEP IT TOP OF MIND.
I REMEMBER REQUESTING THIS LAST YEAR, THE SAME LAST YEAR WE HAD INTER-GROUP AND COUNCIL HAS ACTUALLY GIVEN DIRECTION IN TERMS OF SUPPORT, ALL FOR ROBUST WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. WE'D LOVE TO ADD SEED LINING TO THE PROGRAM.
THIS IS BEING WORKED ON THIS CITY AS AN ACTIVE PARTNER WITH WORKFORCE AT ARIZONA, OF COURSE, JOB TRAINING, CAREER PATHWAYS, LEVERAGE THAT MONEY TO SEEK GRANTS FOR FLAGSTAFF WORKFORCE AND FREE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM AT 75,000.
>> [NOISE] QUESTION. [INAUDIBLE] OR WHAT?
>> IT CAN PARTLY BE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOO.
>> ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HAS ABOUT A 100,000 WORK ON IT RIGHT NOW.
THAT COULD FIT IN [INAUDIBLE] THEY MAY NOT GET TO SPLIT THE WHOLE.
>> I THINK WE'RE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE THIS YEAR ON YOUR PROGRAM THAT YOU ASKED ABOUT LAST YEAR.
I THINK THAT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT IT ALTOGETHER AND WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU IN OUR WORKS SESSIONS.
I THINK TO PUT ANY MORE MONEY INTO IT RIGHT NOW ISN'T AS NECESSARY.
I THINK WE COULD FIND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT YOU HAVE LISTED OR THAT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT.
I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE RIGHT NOW WITH WHAT WAS FUNDED LAST YEAR TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE PROGRAM.
>> WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE WE'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING IS FOR THE LOCAL MATCHING.
LIKE THE SITUATION WITH BORROW OR GRANT.
[04:35:01]
WE'RE IN A POSITION TO BRING IN STATE AND FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR OUR FIRST JOBS TRAINING FOR OUR PATH WAYS, BUT MORE OFTENTIMES WE ASK FOR A LOCAL MATCH FROM THE MUNICIPALITY.I JUST WANT TO HAVE THAT [OVERLAPPING] TO AT LEAST 50,000.
>> [INAUDIBLE] ARE YOU ARE ASKING ME FOR AN ADDITION FUNDING AT THIS POINT OR ARE YOU JUST NEEDING THESE FUNDINGS FOR SETUP?
>> WE SET UP TO HAVE [INAUDIBLE] WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE FUNDING, WE HAVE IT.
>> WE HAVE THE DEPARTMENTS [INAUDIBLE] DEVELOPMENT AND, OF COURSE, THAT'S 16 MAYBE 40.
AT 40, SORTING WILL BE ABLE TO START.
THEN WE'LL FIND 10,000 SOMETHING.
THANK YOU FOR THINKING FORWARD AND TALKING TO RICK TADDER.
[BACKGROUND] EVERY MEETING ROOM IS LIKE REST OF THE ROOM.
[OVERLAPPING] SET ASIDE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
IF THAT GRANT COME WITH THAT, WE NEED TO DO THAT MATCH WITHIN THE NUMBER. THANK YOU.
>> ANOTHER QUESTION. WILL THIS ITEM BE LIMITED TO MATCHING FUNDS.
WE WOULD ONLY USED THIS MONEY IF IT WAS REQUIRED MATCHING FUNDS, OR WOULD IT BE USED EVEN IF WE COULDN'T GET MATCHING FUNDS?
>> I THINK THAT SINCE IT'S CONTINGENCY, WE WOULDN'T BE USING IT UNLESS WE REALLY NEEDED IT FOR THIS PURPOSE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THAT FUND FOR THE PROJECT FROM LAST YEAR.
IN THIS FISCAL BOOK, WE'RE ALREADY WORKING THIS.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN GREAT SHAPE AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY VERY IMPORTANT, SO I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT I'M TURNING DOWN MONEY OR OPPORTUNITY.
I FEEL THAT WE HAVE MONEY RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW BEST TO UTILIZE IT FOR THIS PLATFORM.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. JUST A QUICK UPDATE.
THE CD IS TAKING THE LEAD IN SOME PRE-APPRENTICESHIP AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAM, NOT ONLY FOR THE BUILDING TRADES BUT ALSO, FOR FORESTRY AND POTENTIAL HEALTH CARE, AND I GUESS ANOTHER SERVICE-RELATED [INAUDIBLE].
WE'RE TAKING THE LEADERSHIP ON THIS AS ARIZONA AT WORK, CD AS A MAJOR DEPARTMENT.
>> IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT WHAT I AM HEARING IS THAT THERE'S FUNDING IN THE CONTINGENCY FUND THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO? IF THAT DAY COMES THAT WE NEED THOSE FUNDINGS THAT THEY WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE.
DO YOU THINK FOR NOW WE CAN REMOVE THEM FROM THOSE?
>> [OVERLAPPING] WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE 100,000 FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
>> WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN 23 AND 24, THOSE LINES THERE'S DIFFERENT INCENTIVES.
THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT WITH HER BOSS PROGRAM.
YOUR BOSS PROGRAM THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR FOR THIS FISCAL.
SHE WAS, IF I'M NOT PUTTING WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS, SHE WAS OFF THAT SUBJECT AND THAT SHE WAS ONTO THE BOSS PROGRAM, BUT WE CURRENTLY ARE WORKING WITH FUNDS FOR THAT BOSS PROGRAM IN THIS FISCAL.
I DON'T THINK THAT YOU NEED TO SET ASIDE ANY MORE BECAUSE IF ANY GRANTS WERE TO COME UP THAT WE HAVE TO MATCH, WE STILL HAVE CONTINGENCY.
>> HOW DO YOU SUPPLY THAT MONEY YOU ARE SAYING.
I GUESS I'M CONFUSED. DO YOU SPEND IT AS FUNDING THAT'S BEING ASKED FOR OR NO?
>> I THINK THAT, RICK, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TELL ME.
DO YOU WANT TO KEEP THE WORKFORCE 40,000 HERE AS CONTINGENCY, OR TO ADD TO THE CONTINGENCY?
WE CAN ADD IT TO THE CONTINGENCY OR ADD IT AS A LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET.
THERE IS CAPACITY IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THAT WE CAN ADD THIS AS A LINE ITEM AND FUND IT THROUGH THEIR FUND JUST TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE.
WHEN THOSE OPPORTUNITIES COME UP, WE CAN PUT A LINE ON IT OR WE CAN PUT A CONTINGENCY JUST TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE ALONG WITH THE THE TWO LINES FOR THE INCENTIVE OR THE OTHER TOOLS THAT WILL TAKE UP THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ON CAPACITY.
WE WILL LOOK AT A FUNDAMENTAL.
>> EITHER WAY WE LOOK AT IT, THE $40,000 IS NOT EXPLAINING BECAUSE YOU'RE PUTTING IT IN HERE.
>> WE'LL ADD IT TO THE BUDGET TO HAVE OTHER.
[04:40:02]
>> [OVERLAPPING] SORRY. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR COUNCIL MEMBER, SHANELIA.
>> HAVE YOU TALKED TO [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS ON THE PEER SPECIALIST IN THE EVALUATION?
>> I HAVEN'T. [INAUDIBLE] HAS COMMUNICATED TO ME THAT THEY ARE ALL FAVORING THEM BOTH AND SOMEONE FROM STAFF HAS A DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION WITH THEM, BUT SPEAKING WITH BRIAN AND SIERRA, WHO OVERSEE THE PROGRAM WITH [INAUDIBLE], THEY SAID THAT PEER SPECIALISTS WILL DEFINITELY HELP.
[INAUDIBLE] IS A PEER SPECIALIST CERTIFIED INDIVIDUAL.
WELL, SHE DOESN'T SPEAK NOW OR TODAY, BUT SHE HAS AN EMPLOYEE THAT DOES.
SHE SAYS THAT THEIR ABILITY TO CONNECT WITH THE CLIENT IS INCREDIBLE.
CARLOS HAVE BEEN CLASS, JUST BEING MOST PEOPLE SAME LANGUAGE.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE HAVEN'T HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS AS STAFF WITH THE [INAUDIBLE].
WE JUST HAD OUR FIRST MONTHLY MEETING.
CERTAINLY, THEY WERE SHARING SOME OF THE TRENDS THAT THEY'RE SEEING OVER THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
JUST KEEP IN MIND THIS [INAUDIBLE] HAS ONLY BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR TWO WEEKS.
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE GOING TO BE.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN PUT THE QUESTION.
THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT IF WE CAN LOOK BACKWARDS, WE ACTUALLY ADOPTED A BUDGET FOR THIS PROGRAM BEFORE WE FINISH NEGOTIATING FOR THE CONTRACT, WE HAVE CERTAIN THINGS LIKE ONGOING MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE, FULL COSTS THAT ARE BUILT INTO THESE BUDGETS.
WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT ONE TIME OF 208 AND SPREAD IT OVER THE LIFETIME OF THIS CONTRACT.
MAKE SURE WE'RE COVERING COSTS THAT WE AGREE TO IN THERE CONTRACT.
I'M NOT SEEN CAPACITY TO BE ADDING PERSONNEL, TO BE ADDING RESEARCH COSTS BECAUSE WE HAVE THINGS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN BUDGETED FOR.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO USE THE MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE AND JUST CONTINUE TO CARRY THAT FORWARD.
ADDING THESE THINGS WOULD BE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY TO THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM.
IN OUR CONTRACT, WE TALKED ABOUT NOT MAKING BIG CHANGES UNTIL WE HAD AT LEAST SIX MONTHS FOR THE DATA.
BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED THAT TRANS WITH THIS UNIT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE MAYBE SEEING WITH POLICE AND FIRE PREVIOUSLY.
JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO EVOLVE OVER SEVERAL MONTHS.
GIVEN THAT WE'VE ALREADY SEEN A CHANGE OF TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT.
>> I MAY STICK TO THESE TOPICS.
I JUST WANT TO HAVE A GO [INAUDIBLE] OTHERWISE, I'M ALREADY LOVING YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR THESE.
I JUST [INAUDIBLE] SAY IT'S TOO EARLY. I THINK IT'S THE WAY TO NEW LIFE.
I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE COMING FROM STAFF OR FROM THEME, THAT I WOULDN'T BE MUCH MORE RECEPTIVE TO THEM.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND ANYONE WHO IS MORE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT PROPER EVALUATION TECHNIQUE.
I COME FROM A NON-PROFIT AND IT'S VERY MUCH ADVOCATING WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, THE NEED FOR REPAIRS AND FOR NON-PROFITS PROPERLY EVALUATE THEIR OUTCOMES, AND THEIR OBJECTIVES, AND THEIR EFFICIENCY.
I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE ALL RIGHT.
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT, PERHAPS TO GET ON SCALE, YOU HAVE TO MEASURE YOURSELF, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO MEASURE YOURSELF AGAIN, SO COULD SEE IF THE THINGS YOU'RE DOING ARE CONTRIBUTING TO SUCCESS.
I THINK IT'S A FAIR CRITIQUE OF A LOT OF NON-PROFIT SECTOR THAT THEY'RE NOT REALLY INTERESTED WITHIN THESE RATES.
AS PER SAME AMOUNT PUBLICATIONS, YOU GET PROGRAMMATIC AND BUREAUCRATIC, AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR STRONG [INAUDIBLE].
[NOISE] RIGHT NOW IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY COMPARISONS, IT'S SO [INAUDIBLE] SO REVENUE, BUT EVERY CALLED DORMANT, EVERYTHING WE DO IS HAVING AN IMPEDANCE.
IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT FOR US TO BE IN MOMENT TRYING TO CURVE OUT THAT ASPECT OF EFFICIENCY.
EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING, WE'RE MAKING US RIGHT NOW.
ITS ALL GOOD. THE MOMENT FOR HUNTING THAT STUFF COMES LATER.
I THINK IT'S A GREAT STATUS TO WANT TO HAVE MONEY FOR
[04:45:01]
EVALUATION BUILT INTO THIS. WE'D HAVE TO GET STARTED.I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT BEGINNING OF YOUR WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAMS TO TRIP ON THE SCALE UNTIL WEEK AND AT AGREED MINUTE OF THE DAY.
WE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE STOCK FROM A BROAD STROKES.
I JUST FEEL THAT GETS PERSONALLY IN MY OPINION JUST WANTED A SIX HERE IS THE BEST WHY WE HAVE THIS SPECIAL GATE.
SAME WITH THE PEER SPECIALIST, I THINK WE JUST NEED TO GET THE PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THIS PROGRAM TRYING TO BREATHE AND GET SOME MUSCLE MEMORY TO REALIZE WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND HAVE A SENSE OF REPEAT OR SCHEDULES FOR THIS.
THEN WE CAN START, BUT AT THIS POINT IT JUST FEELS LIKE WE COULD SMARTER SUCCESS FOR EXPERIENCING THAT [INAUDIBLE] PERSPECTIVE.
>> RICK TADDER, I APPRECIATE FOR SHARING THAT.
WHATEVER THE MAJORITY DECIDES IN TERMS OF EACH OF THESE POINTS, I SUPPORT.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS BEING MY LAST [SPANISH] I TEND TO REALLY SET US UP FOR SUCCESS, BUT I TRUST THE TEACHER CONSTITUTE TO PERIODS FORWARD AND DO THIS RIGHT.
LIKE I SAID, TALK TO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THE PEER SPECIALISTS [INAUDIBLE] CONSTANT REST OF IT, I GUESS I'M CURIOUS BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE TO CRACK ON FIRE TO YOUR FAMILY.
KNOWING THAT WE'RE STRUGGLING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION.
WE DON'T SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE THROUGH THE LANES I'M AN ISRAEL MYSELF.
IF THOSE ARE THAT WERE STRUGGLING OUT THERE, THE FACT THAT THE AMERICANS IS TRYING TO HELP THEM WITH THE INFLUENCING THE FUTURE, YOU NEED ISRAELS TO HELP US SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE.
>> WELL, WE NEED THE SYSTEM TO HAVE A CHANCE TO SUCCEED.
WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO RIDE A BICYCLE OR WE CAN [OVERLAPPING] WORRY ABOUT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES TOO.
WITH A START OUT SPEAKING TODAY, WHAT ABOUT THE HOCKEY PERSON? I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF BROAD STROKE QUESTIONS WE NEED TO GET SENSE OF BEFORE WE CAN START USING FINE BRUSH STROKES AND A LOT OF THE STUFF.
LET'S ZERO DOWN OUR RESOLUTION THERE'S FULL OF TIME, THOSE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING SUCCESS AND NOT DROWN THE EFFORT AND RESOLUTION.
>> I'LL HAVE MY REQUESTS ON, BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ULTIMATE RESPONSE VERSUS [INAUDIBLE], ESPECIALLY ON THIS.
I WANT US TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE WHAT THE FUTURE IS GOING TO ENTAIL ON THIS.
I SEE A LOT OF VALUE IN MY CONVERSATIONS AND MY RESEARCH WITH A PEER SPECIALIST FOR THIS.
I DO THINK THIS NEEDS A LOT MORE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN THE OUR GROUP OR ALTERNATE RESPONSE GROUP, WHICH WAS ALLOWED TO ASK MAYBE TO MERCHANDISE [INAUDIBLE] FUTURE FOR OUR WORKING GROUP ON ALTERNATE RESPONSE.
SORRY WITH THE EVALUATION PARTICULARLY.
AS SOMEBODY WHO WORKED IN ANALYTICS AND ASSESSMENT OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS FOR NEARLY MY ENTIRE CAREER.
THIS IS HUGE AND HUGE TO HAVE EARLIER BECAUSE THEN WE SET UP DATA SYSTEMS, WE GET THE METHODOLOGY IS APPROPRIATE.
IT'S GOING TO BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THE DATA NOT JUST DONE IN-HOUSE, BUT HAVING SOME EXTRA WORK NOT BECAUSE AFTER A YEAR, BRING A REPORT FROM SOMEBODY OUTSIDE, ACADEMIC JOURNAL ARTICLES ARE OUT THERE.
THINGS THAT WE CAN USE FROM PEER REVIEWED SOURCES AND OUTSIDE STUDIES TO HELP US LEVERAGE FROM ONE FONTS TO GET GRANTS, TO REACH OUT, TO TELL OUR STORY, TO AGREE OR AUDIENCE TOO.
THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OTHER COMMUNITIES, I FEEL LIKE.
THEN IT IS GOING TO BE ACCESSING AND IT'S NOT PREDETERMINED, BUT I FEEL THIS IS GOING TO BE A REAL SUCCESS.
THEY CAN HAD A HUGE IMPACT ON A LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING BORDER TOWNS, GALLUP, SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
I AM IN WORK SUPPORTABILITY EVALUATION.
BUT I THINK THAT COULD BE MORE LIKE $20,000.
WITH THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANTS AND DIGITALLY NIH GRANTS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO INSTITUTIONS OF EDUCATION AS OPPOSED TO GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, I THINK THE 20,000 IS SUFFICIENT FOR
[04:50:02]
ANY MATCHING DOLLARS ASSIST US TO LEVERAGE MORE FUNDS FOR AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION TO KEEP [INAUDIBLE].IN REGARDING THE PEER SPECIALIST, I KNOW IT DOES SEEM EARLY ON THIS.
I DEFINITELY HEAR COUNTS NUMBER OUT.
[OVERLAPPING] BUT I DO THINK THAT WE ALSO NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHERE ARE WE IN BUSINESS.
THIS MONEY ISN'T GOING TO BE SPENT IN JULY.
IT COULD BE SPENT AFTER A FULL YEAR OF THE PROGRAM.
NOW WE HAVE THAT WHAT ALLOCATED TO DO THE EXPANSION.
I DO THINK THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND SUPPORT KEEPING THIS IN THIS BUDGET.
SIXTY THOUSAND AND 20,000 FROM THE EVALUATION DOLLARS.
HAVE THOSE NECESSARY CONVERSATIONS WITH TEAR OR WORKING GROUP TO DETERMINE THE PEER SPECIALISTS.
THIS HAS ALSO COME BACK TO US IN THE TRUTH.
WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE SEVERAL OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN TO SEE IF THIS REALLY IS A FEASIBLE OPTION WITHIN THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR. THAT'S INTERESTING.
[05:01:09]
ALTOGETHER, IT'S SHOWING ABOUT 600,000.[05:01:12]
THREE FIFTY IS THE GENERAL FUNDS RIGHT THERE, IT'S ABOUT 400, AND 100 TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ARTS AND SCIENCES.>> BASED ON DISCUSSIONS SO FAR, WE HAVE ABOUT 170,000 REMAINING.
WE HAVE NOT ADDRESSED SHELTER SERVICES AND SIDEWALKS.
YES, THOSE ARE THE OTHER TWO THAT ARE STILL REMAINING.
HIGH COUNTRY HUMANE, THIS IS A [INAUDIBLE] SLIDER EARLIER, NO COUNCIL SUPPORT TO ADD ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THAT, IS THAT CORRECT?
>> THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL [INAUDIBLE]?
>> YEAH, THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL.
>> WE STILL HAVE A COUPLE MORE TO GO OVER, BUT THIS IS THE RUNNING TOTAL DOWN HERE, IS 170.
>> RICK, I THINK YOU CAN REMOVE THE SIDEWALK BECAUSE I THINK, [OVERLAPPING].
OTHERS HERE TODAY, REAL QUICK AROUND THE TABLE.
>> YEAH, CJ DO YOU NEED SOMETHING? DO YOU NEED TO JUMP IN?
>> MAYOR, COUNCIL, CJ PERRY, IT DIRECTOR.
I'M JUST HERE RE-ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND JUST AS AN OVERVIEW AS FAR AS BROADBAND, THE BUDGET TEAM DID APPROVE $500,000 FOR THIS UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR.
AS A REMINDER FOR MY PRESENTATION YESTERDAY, WE WERE IN THE REALM OF ABOUT THREE MILLION DOLLARS TO PUT TOWARDS PROJECTS GOING FORWARD.
THAT'S JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE AT FROM THAT UNFUNDED CAPITAL.
WE'RE LOOKING AT 14 MILLION, SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE SOME CONTEXT AND JUST LET YOU KNOW I'M HERE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.
WELL, LET'S START PECKING AWAY DOWN THE LIST.
>> MAY I JUST CORRECT MY DATA IN TERMS OF THE WORK HOURS YOU ASKED ME? THIRTY-NINE PERCENT OF THE WORKFORCE LIVES AND WORK WITHIN FLAGSTAFF CITY LIMITS.
THIRTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF THE WORKFORCE IS EMPLOYED IN FLAGSTAFF, BUT IS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, SO 23 PERCENT LIVE IN FLAGSTAFF BUT THEIR JOB IS OUTSIDE FLAGSTAFF CITY LIMITS.
THE 61 PERCENT IS RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION.
>> THANK YOU. MAYORSHIP PROPOSAL, WE HAD 250,000 WHO GOT THERE IN ADDITION TO THE MICROSERVICE CJ'S JUST TALKED ABOUT.
>> YES. THOSE WERE ROLLOVER LEVIES FROM LAST YEAR.
THAT INCLUDED THE ARPA FUNDS, THAT INCLUDED THE MONEY WE SET ASIDE LAST YEAR THAT IS CURRENTLY IN VARIOUS APPLICATIONS [INAUDIBLE].
>> I'M NOT SURE I SUPPORT [INAUDIBLE] 50,000.
>> LET'S GO DOWN THE LIST ON SOME OF THESE THINGS AND WE CAN GET DOWN TO THAT SINCE THAT'S THE ONE TICKET PRICE.
>> WE LOVE THAT LAST YEAR WE DID ALLOCATE 150,000 OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND [INAUDIBLE] DISCUSSION.
THAT'S WHERE MY BASELINE WAS WHEN ASKING SOME MATTERS.
WE DID THROUGH THAT LAST YEAR.
>> [LAUGHTER] I KNOW THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS WITH SOME OF THESE THINGS, THE BLACK LIVED EXPERIENCE.
>> BASED ON WHAT I HEARD THIS MORNING, WE GOT SUPPORT FOR THAT. WE CAN CONTINUE.
>> YEAH. WELL, THE QUESTION WASN'T [INAUDIBLE].
>> OKAY. I THINK WE ALL WANT TO SEE THIS FOOT FORWARD.
WE DID SAY THAT AGAIN, THE QUESTION IS, THE FINANCIAL REPORTS, WHAT IS THE OUTCOME-BASED APPROACH? HONESTLY, I'M A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT WORKING.
>> I MADE A DISCUSSION EARLIER.
[05:05:01]
CONSIDERING THIS DIRECTION, I THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME IN AND PRESENT ON THIS.>> [OVERLAPPING] FOR PROVIDED PROJECT SUMMARY IS MORE EVIDENT, SO I DON'T KNOW.
[OVERLAPPING] THEY'RE FIRST, COMFORTABLE WITH THE BILL AS THIS.
BUT I ALSO AM INTERESTED IN HEARING MORE INFORMATION.
MAYBE THAT WOULD HAVE CHANGED MY [INAUDIBLE]
>> [OVERLAPPING] SHOULD I MAYBE ASK FOR A SCOPE OF THE WORK?
>> YEAH. I WAS LISTENING CONSTANTLY TO THE EVALUATION. WHAT [INAUDIBLE]
>> YES. I RECALL THIS TIME LAST YEAR, I MENTIONED ABOUT EXPANDING THIS FOOTBALL TOUR OF THE BLACK LIVED EXPERIENCE AND ALSO EMBRACE OTHER CULTURES LIKE, ASIAN-AMERICAN, HAWAIIAN EXPERIENCE, NOT JUST THE BLACK LIVED EXPERIENCE BUT OTHER INTERESTS AS WELL.
>> I THINK THAT'LL BE GOOD TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.
MAYBE LET'S LEAVE THAT AMOUNT AS IT IS UNTIL WE FIND THAT THAT SCOPE OF WORK MAYBE WE CAN BE EXPANDING TO OTHER [INAUDIBLE].
BUT FOR NOW, JUST FOR SAKE OF TIME, I'M HEARING THAT LET'S LEAVE THIS IN THERE AS IT IS UNTIL WE GET A PROPER EVALUATION.
PUTTING ON HERE THE TOTAL AMOUNT WHEN WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE LEGAL INFORMATION ON WHETHER WE CAN OR CANNOT DO AND WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE, I WOULD PUT LEAVING IN THERE THE FULL REQUESTS THOUGH I WANT TO GET MORE INFO.
THAT FULL REQUEST MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SOME MORE INFORMATION.
I MEAN, I'D BE OKAY WITH PUTTING HALF THAT IN THERE JUST TO SET ASIDE WHILE WE FIGURE THINGS OUT.
>> WELL, THEY'RE ASKING THE COMPANY IF THEY CAN GIVE [INAUDIBLE].
I DO KNOW CATS IS JUST A $1,500 GRANT.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING FUNDRAISING WITH THEIR MARCH STEREO, WHATEVER IT IS, DONATION DAY THERE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
[OVERLAPPING] SO WE'RE NOT THE ONLY CAT IN TOWN.
[LAUGHTER] WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT THEY'RE ASKING RELIEF FROM. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD HOLD.
>> I'M ALSO LIKE, CAN THAT REQUEST BE BECAUSE PEOPLE WANTED TO [INAUDIBLE]?
>> YES. WE CAN WORK THROUGH A PROCESS OF HOW WE DETERMINE WE CAN FUND A SERVICE THAT WE WANT TO BUY, WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH AN AGENCY OR IF WE CAN DIRECTLY CREATE A CONTRACT WITH AN INDIVIDUAL.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF SOLE SOURCE AND REDUCTION OF ISSUES WE MAY HAVE, SO THAT'S WHY WE WANT THE FIRST OCCASION.
IN THEIR MEMO, I THINK IT'S, JUST A QUICK GLANCE, WAS 75,380 OPERATING COSTS, I THINK, WHAT THEY PROJECTED.
>> THAT'S A FULLY OPERATING SYSTEM.
THEY REQUESTED SCHOOL OPERATING COSTS WITHOUT ANY OF THE DONATIONS OR ANYTHING? [OVERLAPPING].
>> THEY'RE ASKING US TO PICK HALF.
A HALF WITH US, HALF WITH THE ACCOUNTS IS WHAT THEY [INAUDIBLE].
>> ORIGINALLY, WE GOT [INAUDIBLE].
>> WELL, THE QUESTION IS, DO WE PUT IN THE CALCULATION ZERO OR DO WE SET TO 500 OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN? NOW, I'M ALL INTERESTED IN THIS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH AND I MOVE THIS AMONGST EVERYTHING ELSE.
>> I SAY DEFINITELY KEEP IT IN THERE AND COUNCILORS, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET RID OF [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN WE CAN DIVE INTO IT AT OUR NEXT DISCUSSION ON THE BUDGET AFTER THIS SESSION THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.
I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A PLACEMENT UNDER CONVICTION.
>> YEAH, IT DOESN'T [INAUDIBLE] WITH THIS SPECIFIC BOARD WORK.
>> ALL RIGHT. THEN THE TRAILS INITIATIVE, I THINK WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT.
>> I WROTE TWO, BUT WE HAVE FOUR.
>> [OVERLAPPING] OKAY. THANK YOU.
>> THE HIGH COUNTRY HUMANE, FROM WHAT I WAS HEARING, THIS WAS SOMETHING WE WEREN'T REALLY GOING TO ADD ONTO.
[05:10:02]
WE BROUGHT UP MAYBE EVEN DECREASING THE BASE AMOUNT, WHICH WE WERE ALREADY GIVING IT ABOUT $202,000 PER YEAR, BUT I DIDN'T HEAR ANY INTEREST FROM ANYONE ON INCREASE.>> WELL THAT'S WHAT [INAUDIBLE]
>> COOL. THAT WAS WHAT THEIR ADDITIONAL REQUEST WAS.
>> THAT'S WHAT THE ADDITIONAL REQUEST BASED ON WHAT?
>> I JUST MOVED TO [INAUDIBLE].
IF WE PUT ZERO IN THIS ONE, WE WILL STILL BE GETTING PROBABLY [INAUDIBLE]?
>> YEAH, $292,000 [OVERLAPPING].
>> WE GO OVER OUR EXISTING CONTRACT AS IT EXISTED, IGA.
IF THEY COUNT, IS THAT LEVEL THAT'S FUNDED.
>> THIS IS ABOVE IT BASED ON THEIR INCREASED LEVEL OF WORK AS THEY STAY.
>> WELL, WE GOT TO GO AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO START.
>> YEAH, THIS IS A CONTRACT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> UNTIL WE AT LEAST GET MORE INFORMATION AS WE HAVE REQUESTED FOR THEIR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE IT.
>> WE GOT 47 PERCENT DISCOUNT.
>> FLAGSTAFF'S TRAILS INITIATIVE, I THINK, WOULD CANCEL BEING ONE TO DO THIS OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY AND FUND, AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS YEAR'S SERVICES.
>> YEAH. WORK WITH WHAT WE ALREADY GOT.
EVERYONE GET TO YAY OR NAY REAL QUICK.
>> YAY [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER].
>> WE'RE GOOD ON THAT. THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND FOR BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
>> [LAUGHTER] LOWELL OBSERVATORY AT 35 GRAND?.
>> QUESTION FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
>> IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO $35,000, WHY DOES IT SAY $50,000 HERE?
>> WELL, LET'S SEE IF EVERYONE CAN FIND OUT.
>> I'D ASK THIS FOR A PURPOSE.
>> HE SAID 35 WOULD WORK OR MORE COST FOR BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> OH, I'M SORRY. OKAY, I'M GOING BACK.
BUT GOING BACK TO YOU JIM WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 50,000 FOR BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, WE SAID 35.
[OVERLAPPING] WAY OVER WHAT WE USED TO GIVE THAT.
>> THE WEBSITE IS WHAT THEY WANT.
THE NEXT THREE COLUMNS IS WHAT THEY'RE REALLY SATISFIED?
>> YEAH. THE REQUEST [INAUDIBLE]
>> WE WANT TO REQUEST THE SIGNS FOR THIS.
>> WHAT IF WE PUT IN [INAUDIBLE]
>> THAT'S WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FOR A MINUTE.
WE DISCUSSED WITH ALL WHETHER IT'S ALMOST INDIVIDUALLY OR [INAUDIBLE]
>> STATUTE, YEAH. SEE IF 30 IS EFFICIENT BECAUSE IF IT ISN'T, WE CAN INTRODUCE THAT INCREASE.
>> YOU THINK THAT COMES TO THE PRESENT?
>> WE HAVE 100,000 UNDER THE ARTS AND SCIENCE CATEGORY.
>> THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY GIVE THE DECISION FOR SLASH FUND FOR OTHER PROJECTS OR PROJECTS OR MURALS OR SOMETHING ELSE.
>> IT'S ABOUT 30. THEY NEED TO SOLVE IT TOO.
>> I CAN REPORT BACK FROM THE SITTING MANAGER AND IT SOUNDED LIKE, IT WAS NOT TO SET UP TO 50, IT WASN'T.
>> I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE REQUESTED A LOT MORE, BUT THEY WANTED TO BE REASONABLE IN THEIR DEMANDS.
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO SHOOT FOR $100,000.
THEY WANTED TO BE RESPECTFUL AND GIVE A REASONABLE REQUEST IT WHAT THEY HAD WRITTEN.
>> IF WE PUT 30 NOW AND COME BACK TO IT WITH MORE INFORMATION?
>> I'M GOING TO RECORD [INAUDIBLE].
IF THEY'RE OKAY, LET'S TEST IT OUT.
>> LET ME KNOW. I'M HERE IN 30 AND 50.
>> YEAH, BUT I STILL THINK WE SHOULD DEAL WITH THAT 35.
>> MAYOR, JUST TO CHECK-IN, IF WE WANT TO CHECK THAT HE'S GOT FIVE MINUTES, SO YOU'RE DOING GREAT IN TERMS OF TIME.
>> WE NEED TO REMEMBER MORE, I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.
[OVERLAPPING] THIS IS THE WHOLE REASON FOR THE RETREAT RIGHT HERE.
[05:15:05]
WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
I FEEL LIKE THERE'S LARGER BUCKETS OF MONEY IN THE MIDDLE OF POOLS.
>> IT WAS LIKE LESS AMBIGUITY ABOUT WHETHER THIS IS A GENERAL OR [INAUDIBLE] SERVICES THAT SPECIFICS WITH [INAUDIBLE] I GUESS, OR MAYBE THOSE ARE PUBLIC CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE IT'S A CONTRACTUAL ISSUE WHERE WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN DIRECT FUND.
WE CAN'T JUST DIRECT SELECTED [INAUDIBLE] 50,000 PROBABLY TO ASK YOU A PRODUCTION ISSUE.
THERE'S A POTENTIAL OF LOSING THE UNITED WAY TO PUBLISH DIRECT FUNDS, BUT WE JUST STARTED [INAUDIBLE].
THERE ARE OTHER PROVIDERS AND IKEA CAN PROVIDE MORE SERVICES.
I'M NOT SURE HOW TO WORK THIS OUT.
I APPEAL THAT THE DIRECTOR APPLIES RESEARCH SERVICES.
STOOD IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL WAS ASKED TO HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU NEED AND SHE GAVE VERY SPECIFIC PRECISE ANSWER.
IT WAS [INAUDIBLE] AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE, THE KIND OF AMOUNT IS AVAILABLE SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT.
IF WE WANT TO GET MORE FOR OTHER AGENCIES AS WELL, THAT'S GREAT.
THERE'S NO END TO THE NEED TO BE SERVED AS WHEN IT'S SO.
I JUST WANT TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC.
>> HOW ABOUT YOU ALLOW THE BUDGETING, TAKE THIS ONE TO THE SIDE.
WE SHARE THE EXPECTATION THAT WAS DISCUSSED AND SEE IF THERE'S FUNDING THIS YEAR THAT WE CAN ADJUST IT TO THAT MARKER.
>> GREAT. WHEN THE MONEY COMES AND WE CAN REPLACE IT THAT IS 32.
>> YEAH. [OVERLAPPING] LET US SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT FOR YOU.
I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY CAN AFFORD TO.
>> BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION INCENTIVES.
TAKE THIS WITH THE BUSINESS ATTRACTION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. WONDER.
MY ONLY THING WILL BE THAT WE'RE GOING TO DEDICATE $100,000 TO THIS PURPOSE, THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD DO $20,000 FOR BUSINESS ATTRACTION AND $50,000 FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.
BUSINESS ATTRACTION AND WAS PREVIOUSLY USED, FOR EXAMPLE, BY WHITEHALL INDUSTRIES, WHICH WAS AMAZING THAT WE GOT THEM HERE.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING A COMPANY WITH 315 EMPLOYEES THAT ARE COMING HERE 25,000 DOLLARS AND SAY THAT IT WASN'T THE REASON THEY CAME.
[LAUGHTER] I WOULD RATHER SEE THE OTHER PART OF THE CLIENT THAT WE'RE HAVING TROUBLES WITH WHICH IS ALWAYS EMPLOYERS IN TOWN DON'T HAVE A PLACE.
PERSONALLY, WE'RE GOING TO DO A COUNCIL WANTS US TO PUT DOWN 100 GRAMS FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> YOU MIGHT TAKE ON THOSE BUSINESS RETENTION OR SUBTRACTION INCENTIVE IS [NOISE] THE SMALLEST OF THE SMALL BUSINESS LIKE WE HAVE ONE OF THE GRANTEES IS OUT OF THE SPACE TECHNOLOGIES STARTED WITH THREE FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES [BACKGROUND] AND NOW THEY'RE GETTING INTO TWO BLOCKS.
[NOISE] I THINK BY THIS SUMMER IT'LL BE 30 EMPLOYEES AND THESE ARE THE R&D STRATEGY.
THIS JUST BLOWS MY MIND ALL OF THESE [LAUGHTER] WORDS, BUT WITH AEROSPACE AND SATELLITES AND ALL OF THAT.
WE CAN LIMIT THEIR BUSINESS ATTRACTION TO SMALL BUSINESS.
SPECIFIC TARGETED SECTORS EXPLAINED BY SCIENCE, AEROSPACE, R&D WHICH IS THE FOCUS OF ARTISTS [INAUDIBLE] AND [NOISE] THOSE ARE THE INCENTIVES AND THEN THE BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION.
SOMETHING TO DO LIKE THE RECENT GRANTEE IS DARK SKIES GLORY THAT EXPANDED ITS [OVERLAPPING] PATIO,
[05:20:03]
WHICH WILL HAVE A GRAND OPENING SOON.>> SUPPOSED TO SAVE YOUR REMARKABLE JOB.
[LAUGHTER] IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOUR NUMBER AND I WILL GO BACK TO WHAT THE MAYOR WAS SAYING AND I THINK THAT THAT IS A GOOD IDEA THERE BECAUSE ONCE WHITEHALL DIDN'T COME IN, IT WASN'T AN INCENTIVE TO GET THEM HERE.
THEY CAME HERE WITH A LOT OF HARD WORK FROM PRESIDENT GAIL JACKSON AS WELL AS OUR BUSINESS ATTRACTION INTERJECT DIGIT.
BUT ONCE THEY WERE HERE, THEY REALIZED THE LAY OF THE LAND THEN THEY ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR AN INCENTIVE, WHICH WAS THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WANTED TO BEGIN.
[NOISE] DAVID MCINTIRE'S ALWAYS OFF IN THE DISTANCE THAT CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.
EITHER WAY THAT WE DO IT, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THESE INCENTIVES [NOISE] GET OUT THERE AND WE MARKET THEM AND GET MORE STEAM TO THAT BUT [NOISE] YOUR IDEA WITH SAYING COUNCIL MEMBER STYLES, THAT MAYBE [NOISE] SEGMENT IN THEM TO A SPOT TO SMALL BUSINESS OR WHATEVER.
I REALLY CAUTIOUS THIS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TOO MANY PARAMETERS.
I THINK THAT IT JUST MAKES IT HARDER.
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO MAKE PEOPLE SUCCESSFUL AT DOING BUSINESS HERE.
HOWEVER, YOU DECIDE TO BRING THIS UP ITS GOING TO BE FINE AND INPUT IS GOING TO BE PUT INTO USE.
>> THANK YOU I WAS ECHOING MY SUGGESTION ON THE PARAMETERS FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS GRAPHS.
THE 360,000 [OVERLAPPING] FINDINGS, WHO I SPOKE TO, THE NEED TO REACH OUT TO THE VETERAN OWNED BUSINESS [INAUDIBLE] AND [NOISE] MY FAMILY BUSINESSES IN THIS MOMENT AND THIS ONE IS THAT SMALL BUSINESSES [OVERLAPPING] OVERLAPPING THOSE.
>> I LOVE TO CREATE A [INAUDIBLE] SPACES, FIGURE THINGS WITH [INAUDIBLE] IS EVEN MORE AMAZING BUT I WOULD PROBABLY AGREE WITH THE MAYOR ON THIS ONE.
FUNNY LITTLE BIT MORE THAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPED, IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE AND ACTUALLY DATE BACK THE ENTIRE HERE ON THE LINE.
[OVERLAPPING] I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU BECAUSE I COULD BE MESSING THIS UP FOR YOU.
>> YOU'RE NOT MESSING IT UP AT ALL.
I DO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN A LITTLE BIT.
WE DID HEAR FROM WHITEHALL THAT THE INCENTIVE WAS ACTUALLY IMPACTFUL IN THEIR DECISION BECAUSE IT HELPED TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE COSTS THAT THEY HADN'T EXPECTED AS THEY LANDED HERE.
BUT ALSO, AS SALAS MENTIONED, A CATALYST WAS AN EXAMPLE OF AN ATTRACTION INCENTIVE FUNCTIONING AS WELL AND THEY REALLY ARE DOING SOME GANGBUSTERS STUFF.
ONE OF THE THINGS TO GO INTO THE IDEA, WHICH DOES NOT MEAN WE COULDN'T SHIFT MORE FROM ATTRACTION TO BUSINESS POTENTIAL NEW EXPANSION.
BUT JUST TO THROW OUT THERE THAT I THINK IT WORKS FOR BOTH LARGE AND SMALL BUSINESSES.
[NOISE] WHEN IT COMES TO THE PARAMETERS WE ALREADY LIMITED TO TARGET SECTORS AND SO I AGREE WITH WHAT HEIDI SAYING THAT TOO MANY PARAMETERS ON IT COULD BECOME DIFFICULT.
WE'RE DEFINITELY SEEKING TO BRING IT TO FIND WAYS TO USE THE BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY TO BENEFIT MINORITY BUSINESSES THAT ARE DOING BUSINESSES.
WE LOVE THAT IDEA. WE'VE HEARD THAT FROM COUNCIL.
WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT LIMITED TO THEM BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT DEPENDS ON THE APPLICATION, BUT WE ARE SEEKING WAYS TO FIND EXAMPLES THAT WE CAN USE THESE INCENTIVES FOR.
I CERTAINLY FEEL [NOISE] LIKE EITHER INCENTIVE IT IS GOING TO BE BENEFITING GREATLY.
YOU ALREADY FILLING THEM BACKUP, SO ADDING A LITTLE BIT MORE TO ATTRACTION AND THEN FLESHING OUT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION EXPANSION IT WOULD BE GREAT.
BUT I HOPE THAT WE CAN STICK TO THE PARAMETERS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE PROGRAMS. HOPE THAT'S HELPFUL.
COUNCIL WELL, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU THINK THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO DO $20,000 FOR THE ATTRACTION, $50,000 FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, [OVERLAPPING] THESE ARE YOUR FOLLOW-UP DIFFER TO GET HERE.
>> I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM DAVE.
DAVE DID YOU HEAR WHAT THE MAYOR ASKED AND ARE YOU FINE WITH WHAT HE'S SUGGESTING OR DO YOU WANT TO SWITCH IT AROUND? THE TIME TO CHAT AT THAT.
>> I FEEL LIKE AT THIS POINT ADDING AN EXTRA $20,000 TO BUSINESS ATTRACTION WOULD BE GREAT, AND THEN HAVING THAT IN SLIGHTLY LARGER AMOUNT FOR RETENTION EXPANSION AND FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WORKS.
WELL, SO I CAN AGREE EASILY MOVE ON TO WHAT MAYOR PUT FORWARD.
>> WELL, LET'S GET THE TIMES UP.
[05:25:05]
ALL RIGHT, NOW WE'RE DOWN TO THE LAST LINE ITEM AND I'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS OBVIOUSLY.I HEARD THAT, SO BROADBAND IS THE LAST DISCUSSION AND IT'S SO FORWARD, FEELS HARD. VERY PERSONAL
>> IF THE CITY IS BRINGING IN ALL THOSE BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE, ON THE CHARACTER WE STARTED IMMEDIATE [INAUDIBLE]
>> I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO OWN THIS, RIGHT? IT'S NOT OWNED BY A PRIVATE COMPANY.
WAS THERE ANY EFFECT OR IN BUSINESS, WHAT ARE THEY?
>> THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL, CJ PERRY, IT DIRECTOR.
SO OUR CURRENT INTENTION WITH THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY TO BECOME LIKE AN ISP IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE OF PROVIDING SERVICE TO PEOPLE'S HOMES.
OUR INTENTION IS TO EFFECTIVELY DO SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION WORK AND GET CONDUIT IN THE GROUND AND THEN MAKE THAT CONDUIT AVAILABLE TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS, TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, TO WHOEVER WANTS TO UTILIZE IT.
I HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH QUITE A FEW ISPS AND I HAVE SHOWED THEM WHERE WE CURRENTLY HAVE CONDUIT AND WHERE SOME FUTURE PROJECTS ARE COMING UP THAT WILL BRING SOME CONDUIT AS WELL, AND TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THOSE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.
WHAT WE FIND IS TO GET MORE COMPETITION IN ANY AREA, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING OUT SOME OF THESE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER'S INFRASTRUCTURE, 80 PERCENT OF THE COST IS JUST THE CONSTRUCTION WORK, AND SO WHEN A PRIVATE COMPANY COMES IN AND THEY JUST BUILD IT ALL OUT THEMSELVES, WHICH WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO OUR COMMUNITY AND WE'RE OPEN TO ANY BUSINESS WHO WOULD WANT TO DO THAT.
THE THING IS, NOW THEY OWN THAT FIBER, THEY OWN THAT CONDUIT, THEY OWN IT END-TO-END; SO FOR THE NEXT PROVIDER, IF WE WANTED TO ADD MORE COMPETITION AND MORE COMPANIES TO OUR MARKET, THEY HAVE TO REBUILD ALL OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE, THEY HAVE TO RE-DIG UP OUR ROADS YET AGAIN.
I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DIG- ONCE POLICIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO WHAT THIS DOES, IS WE'RE TRYING TO POSITION OURSELVES.
THE CITY WILL HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT CONDUIT INFRASTRUCTURE.
THIS ALLOWS ALSO ME JUST TO DO MY JOB IN CONNECTING THE CITY FACILITIES JUST FOR OUR OWN INTERNAL PURPOSES, BUT THEN UTILIZE THAT EXCESS INFRASTRUCTURE IN LEASE AGREEMENTS OR OTHER ASPECTS WHERE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF EXCESS SPACE AND WE CAN ENTICE MORE THAN ONE COMPANY TO COME TO FLAGSTAFF, PROVIDE COMPETITION TO EVERYONE'S HOME AND KEEP THOSE CONSTRUCTION COSTS DOWN ON THEM, SO WE TAKE SOME OF THAT CAPITAL COST, WE OWN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEN AT LEAST SIT BACK AND THEN HOPEFULLY FUTURE REVENUES WILL MAKE THAT UP OVER THE LONG TERM. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
>> SO WHEN YOU SAY CONDUIT, YOU BASICALLY MADE [INAUDIBLE] THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WOULD PULL BUILD THEIR OWN CABLE THROUGH.
>> TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT COMPANIES COULD PULL CABLES THROUGH THE SAME TUBE OR CONDUIT.
>> YES. WE ARE INSTALLING INNER DUCT AS PART OF ALL OF THOSE, AND IN MANY CASES WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING IN MULTIPLE TUBES JUST FOR THAT SPECIFIC STATE.
IF THERE WAS A PARTICULAR AGENCY THAT WANTED TO HAVE ONE, ALL TO THEMSELVES, WE COULD ACCOMMODATE THAT DEPENDING ON HOW THOSE DISCUSSIONS WENT.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS, A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY THERE.
>> THEN THE CITY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN IT, NOT THE CABLE BUT THE CONDUIT.
>> YES AND THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE THING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT EXPLORING IN THE FUTURE; IS ACTUALLY LOOKING AT TRYING TO FIND A PARTNER WHO WOULD DO SOME OF THAT MAINTENANCE RATHER THAN NECESSARILY AGAIN, BUILD EVERYTHING IN-HOUSE, AND IN SOME CASES, THAT MIGHT BE SOME OF THE VARIOUS ISP'S THAT WOULD WANT TO LEASE FROM US TO MAINTAIN SOME OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE, SO WE HAVE OPTIONS THERE.
RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN THERE, WE DON'T HAVE ANY LEASE AGREEMENTS, SO WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY IN A HURRY TO GET ALL THOSE AGREEMENTS IN PLACE, BUT WE'VE STARTED SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS ON THE BACK-END TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD.
>> I'LL JUST CONFIRM WITH YOU HERE CJ.
WE HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES OR NOT JUST NEGOTIATING POWER, BUT ALSO COST RECOVERY WITH THIS, IS THAT CORRECT MOVING INTO THE FUTURE?[BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER]
>> THEN I'LL JUST SAY, IF WE GET COST RECOVERY, WHICH IS, WE MAKE OUR MONEY BACK, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE COULD TURN A QUARTER TO A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS INTO FEW MILLION DOLLARS FROM PRIVATE, PUBLIC, [INAUDIBLE] THE GRANTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS.
[05:30:01]
WELL, THEN WE'RE GETTING A COST RECOVERY ON ALL OF THEM.>> [INAUDIBLE] I DIDN'T PICK THAT UP INTO TWO, COULD BE A CANDIDATE.
SOME OF THESE OTHER POOLS OF MONEY, WILL CUT OUT [INAUDIBLE]
>> WELL, WE DO HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY WITH THESE NUMBERS STATISTICALLY, BUT COUNT THEM YOURSELVES
>> JUST TO CALL OVER THE MONEY QUESTION, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I THOUGHT WE HAD SOME FUND ALLOCATED FOR BROADBAND FROM OUR ART BOX.
IS THIS AN ADDITION TO DEPART FROM.
>> CORRECT. THESE 1.5 MILLION WE SET ASIDE WITH THE RPA IS CURRENTLY UNDER BRANDS CONSIDERATION THAT WITH THE STATE APPLICATION WITH RPA FUNDS TO LEVERAGE THAT INTO $11.5 MILLION, SO WHICH BASICALLY IT'S POTENTIALLY BE TURNING 1.5 INTO $11.5 MILLION ON INSIDE OF THE SET ASIDE FROM OUR BOOK.
BUT YEAH, RICK, THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO MORE OFTEN.
WE JUST CHANGED, ADDED ON 900 BUCKS [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER].
I'M JUST GOING TO SAVE UP TO THAT EITHER.
LAST TIME WE DID THIS LAST YEAR, WE DIDN'T GO MUCH HIGHER THAN A 0.5 MILLION YEARS APART AND [INAUDIBLE],WITH HIS AMAZING WORK AND HIS OLD TEAM WAS ABLE TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS TOO LIKE ART AND SCIENCES 65,000, MEANS ALL THE STUFF WE SPEND AT THE GENERAL FUND, IS THERE SOMETHING IN THAT GENERAL FUND THAT CAN GO FOR THE $65,000? THAT'S ALL RIGHT
>> IT DOESN'T REALLY SEEM COTTON DUST SETTLES.
SOME OF THIS [INAUDIBLE] SHELTER SERVICES CONVERSATION TO SPECIALIST TO [INAUDIBLE]. [NOISE]
GOOD JOB, EVERYONE. [BACKGROUND]
NOW WE ARE GETTING TO THE REAL CONCLUSIVE PART.
BUT BEFORE WE DO, I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE ALL STAND UP AND FOLLOW CHIEF DAN MUSSELMAN IN 25 CALISTHENICS OF HIS CHOICE.
[NOISE] WHAT ARE WE DOING? [BACKGROUND] WHAT SHOULD WE DO WHILE WE'RE STANDING UP AS WELL?
>> OH, WE GOT TO STAND UP? [OVERLAPPING]
>> TWENTY-FIVE BURPEES? [LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND]
REVIEWING CONFIRMATION ON COUNCIL DIRECTION AND THEN IT IS A WRAP.
LET'S GIVE JUST AS MUCH ENERGY AS WE GAVE AT BEGINNING OF THE DAY TO CITY MANAGER GREG CLIFTON.
[05:35:10]
>> WE'RE GOING TO WRAP IT UP, THIS SHOULD ONLY TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR.
[LAUGHTER] IT WAS A GOOD RETREAT WE ALL FEEL.
BACK TO THE SHIP ANALOGY, WE HAVE RECEIVED A GOOD DIRECTION FROM OUR NAVIGATORS.
WITH YOUR MAPS AND COMPASSES, WE HAVE A GOOD COURSE CHARTED OUT AND WITH OUR STAFF AS THE SHIPMATES, WE'RE READY TO PERFORM MANAGEMENT AT THE RUDDER.
THE ATTORNEYS WORDED OUT [INAUDIBLE].
[LAUGHTER] THE ATTORNEY IS IN THE [INAUDIBLE] KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR TROUBLE AHEAD AND MAKING SURE WE'RE SAFE.
WE'VE RUN WITH THAT AND I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE IT'S BEEN A GOOD RETREAT.
I THINK WE HAVEN'T TAKEN NOTES.
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF FOLLOW-UP, BUT BEAR IN MIND THIS APRIL 22ND, THIS COMES TO YOU FOR FINALITY, COUNCIL, IN JUNE SO I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
I THINK WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME YET TO RETRIEVE MORE INFORMATION AS YOU'VE GIVEN US DIRECTION TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FOLLOW-UP, BUT WE'VE TAKEN HUGE STRIDES.
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO IN TERMS OF WRAP-UP? I KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO. I NEED TO. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WHAT? [BACKGROUND] THAT IS QUITE [INAUDIBLE].
REBECCA, ARE YOU STILL IN THE ROOM? THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IN THE STAFF, THAT WAS A VERY NICE GESTURE AND REALLY FUN.
THANK YOU, HEIDI HANSON, FOR THE FUN THING. [OVERLAPPING].
>> SHAWN JOHNSON. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WELL, I'M GETTING TO THOSE GUYS.
[LAUGHTER] SHAWN JOHNSON, HE GOES BY CHIEF OF STAFF.
[NOISE] JASON COOK, OUR EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, YOU GUYS MAKE A GOOD TEAM.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAD THEIR HANDS AND MS. SHANNON, THANKS FOR ALL THE ASSISTANCE.
THANKS TO ALL THE LEADERS FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS, IT WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD.
I WANTED TO GIVE MAD PROPS TO THE BUDGET TEAM.
THE BUDGET TEAM HEARD A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS AND THAT SHOULD RESONATE.
THAT MEANS WE ALL DID A GOOD JOB.
