[3. Items from Council:]

MR. GARZA, YOU GOOD? >> YES, SIR. >> OKAY, GO INTO ITEMS FROM COUNCIL, ONE ON THE AGENDA. BEFORE WE TACKLE THAT ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER ITEM?

YES, MA'AM. >> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MR. ALERT FARROW TO COME UP AND TALK -- MR. ALERTFARO TALK ABOUT THE COULD HE GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE SO EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT.

IT IS SUMMERTIME, IT IS TIME TO CELEBRATE. >> GOOD EVENING.

SORRY, I'VE GOT TO PULL THIS MIKE UP. GOOD EC, WE HAVE THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF RIVERSIDE STADIUM THIS WEEKEND. WE HAVE A REALLY, REALLY COOL THINGS GOING ON. SO FRIDAY AFTERNOON TAKES PLACE AT 7:00, WE HAVE A HOME RUN DERBY THAT WILL TAKE PLACE THERE. WE'LL ALSO HAVE MEMORABILIA DISPLAYED AND STADIUM TOURS. AND SATURDAY THE EVENT KIX OFF AT 1:00 AND WE HAVE A LOT OF

[00:15:03]

AND THEN WE HAVE BUNTING DERBY, VICTORIA GIRLS' SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION WILL SHOWCASE A FEW THINGS AND SAME WITH THE LITTLE LEAGUE. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A CELEBRITY SOFTBALL GAME THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, POTENTIALLY FOR 5:00 P.M. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE CONCERTS THAT ARE GOING BE TAKING PLACE STARTING AT 6:00, I BELIEVE. SO WE'LL HAVE TWO CONCERTS THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AND THE EVENT WILL ENDS AT 10:00. AND WE'LL HAVE T-SHIRTS AND FOOD TRUCKS AND A WIDE ARRAY OF ACTIVITIES FOR ALL, ALL GENERATIONS.

>> HOW WOULD SOMEONE GO ABOUT SIGNING UP FOR THE HOME RUN DERBY?

>> SO WE HAVE A REGISTRATION LINK ON OUR WEBSITE, THE CITY OF VICTORIA PARKS AND RECREATION PAGE THAT JUST ALLOWS THEM TO REGISTER THROUGH THE WEBSITE SO THAT WOULD BE THE EASIEST AND

BEST WAY. >> SO HOW ARE Y'ALL GOING TO FEEL ALL THE BALLS THAT DON'T

MAKE IT TO THE FENCE? >> WE'RE COUNTING ON OUR FEARLESS LEADERS TO HELP WITH THAT. SO I BELIEVE THERE IS GOING BE A FEW OF OUR CITY MANAGER OFFICE INDIVIDUALS THAT WILL BE THERE AND NOTHING IS GOING TO GET PASSED THEM.

>> ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. BETWEEN DEREK AND MIKE AND I WE HAVE THAT OUTFIELD COVERED. 100%. 100%.

>> THAT WOULD CONCLUDE THE EVENTS SATURDAY EVENING. >> THANK YOU.

>> YES. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER ITEMS

BESIDES MR. LOFGREN? ALL RIGHT, MR. LOFGREN. >> CATTEDLYTIC CONVERT THEFT HAS SPIKED IN THE NATION -- CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFT HAS SPIKED IN THE NATION AND VICTORIA CATALYTIC CONVERTORS CONTAIN ROADIUM, PLATINUM AND DRAMATICALLY GONE UP IN PRICE.

PLATINUM IS HALF THE PRICE OF GOLD, PA LAID UPTHE PRICE OF GOLD AND ROADIUM IS 8 AND A HALF TIMES THE PRICE OF GOLD. FOR A TIME IT WAS $20,000 AN OUNCE.

IT TAKES ABOUT 30 TO 90 SECONDS DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE AND HOWED A DEPARTMENT A THIEF IS -- ADET TO CUT A CATALYTIC CONVERTER OUT OF A VEHICLE. HOUSTON PASSED AN ORDINANCE, IT SUN LAWFUL FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR METAL RECYCLER TO HAVE A CUT CONVERTEDDER UNLESS THEY HAVE PROP CURB CONVERTEDDER UNLESS YOU HAVE A PROPER PROOF OF OWNERSHIP.

YOU UNBOLT IT, YOU DON'T CUT IT. I ASKED THE CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT THE ORDINANCE AND TO GET WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE I THINK THE HOUSTON ORDINANCE IS A REALLY GOOD ORDINANCE AND COULD BE SOMETHING WE PASSED. I DID FIND OUT NOW THE CITY OF HUM BOTTOM HASES -- HUMBOLTD HAS

PASSED THE SAME ORDINANCE SO THAT IS IT. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, COUNCIL MEMBER LOFGRENSH YOU HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK.

HE CAN PRETTY MUCH TAKE CARE OF MY PRESENTATION. OF COURSE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COST IS PER OUNCE FOR MATERIALS, BUT YOU ARE CORRECT WHAT THE PRECIOUS METALS ARE.

IT IS A NATIONAL PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED, WE HAVE SEEN SPIKES.

I HAVE SOME INFORMATION UP THERE EVEN JUST LAST YEAR, 325% OF AN INCREASE NATIONALLY, AND 336% INCREASE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. WITH HOUSTON, WE BUTT THAT NUMBER IN JUST BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED AND THEY WERE KIND OF THE SPEARHEADS THE ONES THAT TOOK OFF AND GOT THINGS GOING.

BUT I WANT TO GO BACK AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STAYED LEGISLATOR LEGISLATURE HAD PASSED TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS FROM THEIR LEVEL, BUT THEIR LAW THAT THEY PUT OUT ONLY REALLY ADDRESSES THE RESELL, RIGHT, SOME OF THE RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT THEY PUT ON. NO ONE REALLY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE OF BEING IN POSSESSION OF IT, RIGHT? IF WE FIND SOMEBODY AND PULL THEM OVER, YOU KNOW AND THEY'RE GOING TO THE RECYCLER AND REPLACING IT, OUR HANDS ARE KIND OF TIED.

WE CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH ABOUT IT. WHEREAS IN HOUSTON THEY MADE IT A VIOLATION THAT IF YOU HAVE CUT CONVERTER, BECAUSE AS COUNCILMAN LOFGREN POINT OUT, MOST PEOPLE WOULD UNBOLT IT TO TAKE IT TO GET IT FIXED OR EXCHANGEED AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

BUT WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS -- HE IS CORRECT, IT TAKES ABOUT 30 TO 90 SECONDS TO CUT IT OFF.

AND THE PICTURE THAT IS IN THE SLIDE KIEBT OF REPRESENT -- KIND OF REPRESENTS THAT.

AND THERE IS THE UNBOLTED ONE THERE. IN RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION -- I'M ASSUMING YOUR QUESTION, DO WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HERE?

[00:20:01]

BECAUSE IT IS A LOT HARDER FOR US TO TRY TO PROVE THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL IT.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT THAT -- IF THEY COULD OR NOT. IT IS NOT A VIOLATION JUST TO BE IN POSSESSION. SO IF WE COULD WRITE THEM A CITATION, EACH CATALYTIC CONVERT THEY ARE THEY HAVE IS A SEPARATE VIOLATION. SO IF SOMEONE HAD, WE JUST HAD ONE RECENTLY, AND I THINK THEY HAD 16 OR SOMETHING, SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE BED OF THEIR PICKUP TRUCK, WE COULD HAVE ACTUALLY WRITTEN THEM 16 SEPARATE CHARGES.

GRANTED IT IS ONLY A CLASS C. BUT AT LEAST IT IS SOMETHING TO ARM THE OFFICERS WITH.

>> SO THE FORM OF THIS ORDINANCE WOULD BE MORE AROUND POSSESSION OF CATALYTIC CONVERTER WITH ATTACHED FINES FOR THOSE IN POSSESSION? IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING? OR IS THERE MORE TO IT? I DON'T HAVE A DRAFT OF A T HOUSTON ORDINANCE.

>>> IT WAS INDIVIDUALS MEDAL RECYCLERS UNLESS THEY HAD PROOF. >> HOUSTON'S ORDINANCE WENT INTO SPECIFICS AND I PROBABLY COULD HAVE EXPLAINED THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

>> TO BE CLEAR WE DON'T HAVE A DRAFT OF THIS ORDINANCE THE WAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE ONE HERE.

IF EVERYBODY IS IN AGREEMENT THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD FOR SURE, DEVELOP A DRAFT OF, THEN WE DEFINITELY WOULD LOOK AT HOUSTON'S, LOOK AT HUMBOLTD'S AND SEE WHAT COULD REALISTICALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR US AND SHARE WITH YOU AN ACTUAL DRAFT ON WHAT THAT WOULD BE WHICH AREN'T PREPARED FOR TODAY'S CONVERSATION FOR A DRAFT OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR

US. >> DO WE HAVE RECYCLERS IN TOWN TAKING THESE?

>> I CAN ANSWER THAT 100% THE ONES WE HAVE DEALT WITH IN TC YOUNG, WERE THEY NOT IN ROUTE TO HOUSTON OR PLANNING TO GO TO HOUSTON

>>> COME ON UP SWRERK TO GET YOU ON CAMERA.

>> BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC, THE PUBLIC WAS ABLE TO TELL US, A, WE HAVE SUSPICIOUS ACTIONS GOING ON. WE WERE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THOSE FOLKS AND FOUND THE OFFENSES THAT OCCURRED THAT NIGHT OR THE NIGHT BEFORE AND WERE ABLE TO ARREST THEM WE TOOK THE CUT CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ONE WAS A BRAND-NEW CAR AND MATCHED THAT UP WITH A BRAND-NEW, CLEAN IN THE OFFENDER'S VEHICLE. WE WERE ABLE TO CHARGE THAT OTHERS COMING FROM THE SOUTH END FROM CORPUS CRISTI. SO WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY RICE NOW THAT WE'VE INTERACTED WITHU BUT THE CONCEPT IS, THE CUT OF THE CONVERTEDDER.

THEY GOT IT REAL QUICK. UNBOLTING IT WHICH IS THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPH, THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT TO TAKE TAKE IT TO A RECYCLERS AND THEY HAVE SEVERAL PARAMETERS AND QUALIFICATIONS AND IDENTIFICATION PAPERWORK THEY NEED FROM THE BUYER.

SO THE SALE IS A LEGITIMATE SALE, THEY JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE CORRECT PAPER WORK.

>> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO SEE IT.

THOSE ARE HUGE NUMBERS IN VICTORIA, EVEN COMPARED TO HOUSTON'S.

>> OKAY ALL RIGHT, WE'LL WORK ON THAT, THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT NO FURTHER ITEMS

[4. Citizen Communication:]

>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL AND MAYOR, REGARDING STOLEN CATALYTIC CONVERTEDDER MY JUST GOT STOLEN AT ACCUTUNE, I WAS WONDERING IF THEY COULD PUT VIN NUMBERS ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THAT WAY IT WOULD BE EASIER TO PROSECUTE THEM CRIMINALLY, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER YOU AREN'T PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION TO YOUR CAR.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A TANK WITHOUT IT. YOU'LL KNOW WHEN YOU START IT UP. AND THEY HAVE EXOTIC METALS, WORTH 20 TIMES MORE THAN GOLD, I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THE SCIENTIFIC NAME, BUT THEY CAN SELL THEM UP TO $700.

AND IF THEY HAD THE VIN NUMBERS, THEY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO SELL THEM OVERSEAS AND PROBABLY

[00:25:01]

AND MY CONDOLENCES -- I HEARD THE EX-DISTRICT ATTORNEY DEX DER EAVES PASSED AWAY.

CONDOLENCES TO HIM. I'M TRYING TO GET A LAW PASSED TO WHERE SEX OFFENDERS CAN'T LIVE WITHIN 2,000 FEET OF A SCHOOL OR A CHURCH. WE HAVE SEX OFFENDERS IN THE TRAILER PARK THAT IS HANGING AROUND CHILDREN. AND SOME OF THE WOMEN, THEY'RE DATING SEX OFFENDERS AND THEY HAVE CHILDREN I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS AGAINST LAW FOR A WOMAN TO DATE A SEX OFFENDER. BUT I DO KNOW ONE CASE WHERE A WOMAN WAS DATING TWO DIFFERENT SEX OFFENDERS AND THEY GOT CONVICTED OF CRIMES. AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE PARTIES, THAT WOMAN THAT WAS DATING THE TWO DIFFERENT SEX OFFENDERS GOT CHARGED WITH WHATEVER THEY GOT CHARGED AND SHE GOT SIX LIFE SENTENCES IN PRISON AND STUFF.

BUT, THEY'RE AT THE TRAILER PARK. AND I WOULD LIKETO THE SEX OFFENDERS WHEN THEY GO TO ANOTHER ADDRESS, TO TELL THE VICTORIA POLICE DEPARTMENT OR THEIR APPROPRIATE LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT THEY HAVE MOVED.

SOME OF THEM MOVE AND THEY DON'T TELL THEM. WE HAVE A SEX OFFENDER RIGHT NOW THE TRAILER PARK THAT MOVED. AND HIS CAR IS STILL OVER THERE. IT HAS BEEN GONE -- IT HAS BEEN ABANDONED FOR ABOUT YEAR. THANKS AND HAVE A GOOD EVENING. APPRECIATE IT.

>> MR. KENNETH ELLER. >> I DIDN'T, I WAS THE ONE THAT CALLED YOU ON THE NOISE OF BIRD DOG. IT IS STILL GOING ON. BUT STILL GOING I HAVE LIVED AT 1255 EAST LOCATE CUST FOR YEARS AND IT IS ANNOYING WHEN YOU GO TO BED EARLY AT NIGHT WHEN THAT VIBRATION COMES THROUGH YOUR HOUSE AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF IT FOR US AND CITY

MANAGER. >> THANK YOU, MR. ELLER. >> HE SHOULD KNOW WHAT I'M

TALKING ABOUT. >> NO PRESSURE, RIGHT. >> CAPTAIN JONES.

>> I JUST WANTED TO TAKE JUST A MOMENT, SOMETIMES THE FOLKS THAT WE EXPECT TO SERVE US DON'T GET ANY RECOGNITION. AND I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK THE CITY OF VICTORIA AND THE CITY MANAGERS AND THOSE THAT HONOR US. WE WANT TO HONOR YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO. AND MR. MAYOR, HAVING SAID THAT, I JUST WANT TO OFFER CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION FOR WHAT THE CITY OF VICTORIA DOES TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE SALVATION ARMY HERE IN VICTORIA. WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, THE HELP AND COACHING AND MENTORING FROM SOME OF OUR LEADERS, I WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY IN GETTING SOME THINGS DONE.

SO THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> SHOULD HAVE GRABBED A QUICK PICTURE OF YOU TWO WITH THAT ONE. WE APPRECIATE THAT.

Y'ALL DO GREAT WORK AND WE'RE VERY, VERY HAPPY TO SUPPORT YOU WHEN WE CAN.

THAT'S IT FROM CITIZENS COMMUNICATION. WE DON'T HAVE ANY ITEMS WITH

[1. Adopting the May 2022 charter amendments, as approved by the voters of...]

SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRY, ITEM E 1. >> E 1 RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE MAY 2022 CHARTER AMENDMENT AS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS OF THE CITY OF SICK TOREIA.

>>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT MAYOR PRO-TEM -- FORMER MAYOR PRO-TEM SOLIZ IS NOT HERE TONIGHT TO SEE THE FRUITION OF THE PROJECT SHE STARTED THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE WAS PUT TOGETHER UNDER HER LEADERSHIP AT THE TIME THAT SHE WAS FULFILLING THE DUTIES OF MAYOR. AND I'M PLEASED TONIGHT TO SEE THAT PROCESS COME TO ITS CONCLUSION WITH US RECOMMENDING TO YOU THAT YOU ADOPT THE RECOMMENDATION, THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION AND MAKE THOSE RESULTS FINAL.

A QUICK OVERVIEW OF HOW WE GOT HERE GOING BACK ALL THE WAY TO JULY OF LAST YEAR WHEN THAT COMMITTEE WAS FORMED, AND DID ITS WORK THROUGH TO DECEMBER JANUARY 18TH THAT COMMITTEE MADE ITS RECOMMENDATION TO YOU TO CITY COUNCIL AND YOU CALLED FOR AN ELECTION OF THE VOTERS TO CONSIDER THOSE 14 DIFFERENT CHARTER AMENDMENTS. THAT ELECTION WAS LAST SATURDAY MAY 7TH, AND I'M PLEASED TO REPORT, THAT THE VOTERS APPROVED ALL 14 OF THE CHARTEDER AMENDMENTS. I THINK IT IS A REFLECTION OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WAS DONE LEADING UP TO THAT PROCESS, THE AMOUNT OF COMMUNICATION THAT WAS DONE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC UNDERSTOOD IT. BUT IT WAS OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY FROM THE VOTERS WHO VOTED ON THOSE PROPOSITIONS, ALMOST ALL OF THEM PASSED BY RESOUNDING MARGINS.

TONIGHT YOU HAVE A RESOLUTION IN FRONT OF YOU TO ADOPT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS OR THOSE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION. IT IS A STATUTORILY-REQUIRED STEP IN THE PROCESS IN ORDER TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES TO OUR CHARTER. AND SO THAT RESOLUTION IS SIMPLY GIVING VOICE TO THE PEOPLE AND MAKING IT FORMAL AND FINAL. LOOKING FORWARD FROM HERE, BEGINNING TODAY, IF THAT RESOLUTION PASSES, THOSE CHARTER AMENDMENTS ARE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON THAT RESOLUTION PASSING. WE STILL HAVE A FEW STEPS TO GO THROUGH BUT THOSE STEPS WILL BE DONE BEHIND THE SCENES AND WILL NOT INVOLVE WE REPORTS WE WILL BE FILING AMENDMENTS WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO HAVE THEM CERTIFIED.

WE WILL BE FILING THEM NEAR THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE HERE FOR CITIZENS TO SEE IF THEY NEED COPIES. AND ALSO, APRIL IS GOING TO BE REACHING TOUT GET HARD COPIES PRINTED OF THE CHARTER. I ALREADY ASKED FOR MY COPY. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR ONE BUT MAY BRING IT AROUND FOR YOUR AUTOGRAPHS. FINALLY I WOULD LIKE TO CONCLUDE AGAIN BY SAYING THANK YOU TO THE CITIZENS WHO REQUESTED Y'ALL'S REQUEST TO SERVE THEIR COMMUNITY BY REVIEWING THAT CHARTER IN GREAT DETAIL AND COMING BACK WITH SOME SIGNIFICANT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGES. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DID THIS IN 2012 WE PUT 15 PROPOSITIONS IN FRONT OF VOTERS AND THERE WAS A LONG LIST OF LEFTOVERS WE KNEW WE WOULD GET BACK AROUND TO SOME DAY. I'M HAPPY TO SAY THERE ARE NO LEFTOVERS THIS TIME.

THE CHARTER COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED EVERYTHING THEY THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND THE CITIZENS APPROVED EVERY ONE OF THEM. MY THANKS GOES HOUSE TO WHO APPROVED. DWAYNE CROCKER WHO BECAME A COUNCIL MEMBER HALFWAY THROUGH THE WORK AND CONTINUED TO SERVE AS WELL. TONY, JEB LACY AND ALL WHO SPENT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME REVIEWING THOSE DOCUMENTS AND SO I WANT TO THANK EACH OF THEM FOR THEIR WORK. MAYOR, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THERE ARE TONIGHT.

I KNOW THIS IS A HORSE THAT HAS BEAT EVERYONE PRETTY DEADLY. >> THANKS FOR GETTING THIS DONE FOR US MR. GWOSDZ AND I WANT TO ECHO, THANKS TO THE COMMITTEE, IT WAS A LIGHTNING PROCESS, BUT VERY VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND VERY THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE ON THERE AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM.

MOTION? >> I MOVE WE ADOPT E 1. >> SEC SECOND.

>> COMMOTION SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, ALL KNOWS FAVOR SAY AYE, THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU MR. GWOSDZ.

LOFGREN SERVES ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COUNCIL MEN DELL LA GARZA SERVES ON GENERAL ASSEMBLY, THEY DO WISH TO BE REAPPOINTED IF THE COUNCIL SO CHOOSES AND ALSO ENDORSES COUNCILWOMAN SOLIZ AS THE IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT ON THE EXECUTIVE BOARD.

>>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL BOTH FOR AGREEING TO AGAIN AND THANK MS. SOLIZ PRESIDENT THIS PAST YEAR AND NOW BECOME THE PAST PRESIDENT. BEEN ON THAT COMMISSIONER OF THE

BOARD FOR A LONG TIME. >> MR. MAYOR, I GUESS I HAVE A TECHNICAL QUESTION JUST GLANCING AT THIS, MS. HILBRICH JUST SAID THE RESOLUTION ENDORSES MS. SOLIZ, BUT IN GLANCING AT IT, I'M NOT SEEING THAT. SO DOES IT NEED TO BE SPECIFICALLY LISTED? OR IS THERE A SEPARATE RESOLUTION? OR AM I NOT LOOKING AT THE RIGHT

THING? >> I'M NOT SURE LATTER ONE THOSE BE THAT FORMAL.

>> I KNOW I WROTE THAT LANGUAGE IN THE AGENDA ITEM MEMO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE A FORMAL ENDORSEMENT. WE WERE JUST INCLUDING IT ROUTE OUT OF RESPECT FOR HER POX WOULD REMAIN, WE KNOW EVER RETIME THEY HAVE A ELECTION COUNCIL WANTS TO THAT IS PART OF THE REASON

COUNCIL DISCUSSION. AND MS. WILLIAMS. >> WE HAVE TWO CITY MANAGER

[1. Entertainment District Update. Danielle Williams, Director of Economic...]

>> WE WILL SHED LIGHT ON THE EXISTING ORDINANCE AND FOR NIGHT WHAT I HAVE PRESENTED TO YOU IS A FEW ITEMS REGARDING THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IN THE SOUND ORDINANCE, THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN TODAY AND WHAT I PROPOSEED AND HOW IT IS DIFFERENT IN THE ENTERTAINMENT ORDINANCE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE EXISTING SOUND ORDINANCE AND THE PROPOSED CHANGE, WE WANTED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE AND ALSO POSTPONE THE SECOND AND THIRD READING OF THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT AS A TOTAL ORDINANCE. AND WE WANTED TO HAVE SOME MORE TIME TO STUDY THE EXISTING ORDINANCE AND ENSURE THAT BOTH THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT ORDINANCE AND SECTION 10-22 ARE COMPATIBLE, ED TO UNDERSTAND AND EASY TO ENFORCE.

TODAY IN MY PRESENTATION, WE'RE GOING GO OVER THE EXISTING ORDINANCE THROUGH THE EXFULLY EXPLAIN THE PROORDINANCE, REVIEW DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE TWO AND ALSO I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE EXPERIMENT THAT WE CONDUCTED ON MAY 11TH. SO THE EXISTING SOUND ORDINANCE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY BREAKS IT UP INTO THREE DIFFERENT VARIATION, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IS 60-DECIBELS AFTER 7:00 A.M. AND AND BEFORE 12:00 A.M. ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

THEN YOU HAVE A LEVEL OF 50-DECIBEL AFTER 10:00 P.M. ON SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND BEFORE 7:00 A.M. ON THE FOLLOWING MORNING OR AFTER 12:0. ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.

[00:40:05]

NOW THE PROPOSED SOUND ORDINANCE FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IS VERY DIFFERENT.

IT ALIGNS WITH IF THERE IS A TCBA PERMANENT FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT ACCOMPLISHMENT AND MAY USE DURING PERIODS OF OPERATION DURING TAYES AND TIMES OF THE DAYS THAT COIN SIDE WITH THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT USED BY THE VENUE. WHEN THE MEASUREMENT IS TAKEN, IT IS NOT TO EXCEED 90-DECIBELS AT THE POINT OF SOUND MIXING SO AT THE POINT OF SOUND MIXING WOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO WHERE THE SPEAKERS ARE, IF YOU WILL FROM WHEREVER THE MUSIC BEING PLAYED.

THAT CAN BE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. INSIDE AN ESTABLISHMENT OR OUTSIDE.

AND THEN IT SAYS, FURTHER EXPLAINS THAT THE MUSIC SOUND AMPLIFICATION FOR AN ESTABLISHMENT WHERE AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMANENT SIT NOT APPLICABLE THE MUSIC CANNOT START EARLIER THAN 10:00 A.M. AND SEIZE AT 2:00 A.M. SATURDAY/SUNDAY AND MIDNIGHT ON REMAINING DATES AND FURTHER EXPLAINS MORE OF THE TACB LICENSING AND GOES INTO IF THERE IS NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT, SOUND AMPLIFICATION SHALL BEGIN NO EARLIER THAN 10:00 A.M. ON ANY DAY AND SEIZE AT 2:00 A.M. ON SATURDAY/SUNDAY AND AT MIDNIGHT DURING THE REMAINING DAYS. SO SOME OF THE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE TWO, AGAIN, KIND OF TOUCHING ON THE ENFORCEMENT, THE CURRENT ORDINANCE, THE SOUND MEASUREMENT IS TAKEN FROM WHERE THE COMPLAINT ORIGINATES AND THEN IT IS DETERMINED WHETHER OR NOT IF THAT FALLS IN THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE OR THE NONRESIDENTIAL SIDE OF OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE AS ARIZONA I EXPLAINED IT EARLIER. THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AGAIN, TAKES A MEASUREMENT FROM WHERE THE POINT OF THE SOUND IS MIXING. ANOTHER QUESTION THAT WE BROUGHT UP FOR CONSIDERATION IS IF THE COMPLAINT ORIGINATES OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARY OF THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, WHICH ORDINANCE APPLIES? IS THAT SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT SORT OF REWRITING THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT SOUND ORDINANCE. AND I WOULD LIKE AND APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK.

THEY'RE ALSO NEEDS BE A DELINEATION OF OUTDOOR AM PLYIFIED POUND IS INDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND. AS YOU KNOW OUTSIDE OR HAVING AMPLIFIED MUSIC OUTSIDE THE SOUND TENDS TO CARRY, VERSUS IF IT IS CONTAINED TO FOUR WALLS OF AN ESTABLISHMENT, YOU WOULD HOPE IT IS QUIETER ON THE OUTSIDE. THEN AGAIN, THE TIMES ARE DIFFERENT, VERY DIFFERENT OF WHEN IT IS ALLOWED AND WHEN IT IS NOT ALLOWED BASED ON WHETHER THEY HAVE A TVC LICENSE OR NOT.

AND SOME BUSINESSES WOULD LIKE THE SEE IT EXTENDED FROM 2:00 A.M. TO 12:00 A.M. BECAUSE THEY CAN OBVIOUSLY MAKE MORE REFUSE NEW THAT WAY. BUT THEN AGAIN, ALSO IT IS A BALANCING ACT, IF YOU WILL WITH TRYING TO MAKE IT A NICE BASE FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE IN THE AREA. THEN AGAIN, THE QUESTION OF, WHAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE DECIBEL LEVEL FOR THE SOUND AMPLIFICATION? AS PROSED IT IS 90 DBA AT THE SOUND OF MIXING VERSUS THE 60 TO 50-DECIBELS WHERE THE COMPLAINT ORIGINATES.

SO WE DID A TEST ON MAY 11TH THERE WERE SEVERAL READINGS TAKEN.

THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 42 READINGS TAKEN DURING A LIVE PERFORMANCE IN DOWNTOWN BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7:00 P.M. AND 10 P.M. OUT OF THE 42 READINGS, THERE WERE 7 TIMES THAT THE READING SOUND LEVELS EXCEEDED 6. WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE.

HOWEVER, IT DID NOT EXCEED THE PROPOSED SOUND ORDINANCE OF 90-DECIBELS.

AND I HAVE A MAP. THE NEXT ONE -- TOO FAST -- IF YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP, THESE ARE WHERE ALL THE READINGS WERE TAKEN. THE BLUE ONES, THE BLUE DOTS ARE 41-DECIBELS TO 60-DECIBELS THE GROWN DOTS ARE 60 DESSIBLES TO 75-DECIBELS.

THE AND THE RED DOTS ARE 75 TO 82. THERE WAS ONE READING OF 82.7-DECIBELS THE RED DOT AND EXACTLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF WHERE THE MUSIC WAS BEING PLAYED AND

[00:45:06]

THE ESTABLISHMENT, NOT INDOORS. IT WAS OUTDOORS. >> THIS OBVIOUSLY BRINGS ABOUT QUESTIONS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE IS BASED OFF OF WHERE THE RES DEPRESSANT OR WHERE THE COMPLAINT CAME FROM. AND AS YOU CAN TELL BY THIS EXERCISE, UNLESS YOU'RE PRACTICCHY CLOSE BY OR IN THE DIRECTION WHERE THE NOISE MIGHT CARRY, IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE. IF WE HAD THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT ORDINANCE IN PLACE, IT WOULD ALSO BE IN COMPLIANCE, BECAUSE AT THE SOURCE IT WAS LESS THAN 90.

RITE? AND SO I THINK FROM THIS EXERCISE WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AROUND WHAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE DECIBEL READING, JUST GENERICALLY ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO DETERMINE, DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO STICK TO ONE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM THAN HAVING TWO, AND JUST BEING CONSISTENT WITH THAT WE ALSO INTEND TO DO A SIMILAR EXERCISE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER OUTDOOR ESTABLISHMENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY WHENEVER THEY HAVE EVENTS WHETHER BREEZIES OR BIRD DOGS TO GET A SENSE OF HOW FAR THAT NOISE CARRIES.

FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE YOU LIVE, YOU KNOW, IS IT READING AT BUSINESS TRAVELER'S ADVISORY 60 OR BELOW 60. IT MIGHT BE ABOVE 60 BUT MIGHT STILL BE A NUISANCE.

SO THAT TYPE OF EXERCISE WILL HELP US UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS AN APPROPRIATE DECIBEL READING FOR OUR COMMUNITY, RIGHT, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES MIGHT DO.

>>> THERE ISN'T A 50 READING IN A RESIDENTIAL, I THOUGHT YOU SAID IN COMMERCIAL IT WAS 60 BUT IN RESIDENTIAL IT WAS 50. AND LOOKING AT THAT DOWNTOWN MAP, IT LOOKED LIKE A LOT OF THAT WAS COMMERCIAL. BUT I COULDN'T TELL FOR SURE. AND IF WE'RE ENCOURAGING

UPSTAIRS LOFT. >> THAT IS PART OF THE ISSUE, RIGHT IS, THAT YOU KNOW, IN THE EXISTING ORDY INSTANCE IT DOES DIFFER BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL.

BUT BECAUSE THE ORDINANCE IS APPLIED BASED ON WHERE THE COMPLAINT IS COMING IN FROM, YOU KNOW IN A COMMUNITY THAT DOESN'T HAVE ZONING IN A MIX OF DESRESIDENTIAL AND A SMALL COMMUNITY IN AN AREA, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

>> WERE ANY OF THESE READINGS TAKEN ON A SECOND STORY? OR ALL GROUND SCA ALL GROUND

LEVEL, I BELIEVE. >> WELL, I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE, I HAVE A TWO-STORY HOUSE AND THERE USED TO BE A NIGHTCLUB OVER ON JOHN STOCK BAUER AND I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO THE MACARENA UPSTAIRS BECAUSE I COULD HEAR IT ALL THE WAY AND IT IS A LONG WAY AWAY BUT I WAS FURTHER UP, THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKING THE SOUND AND ALSO, ESPECIALLY DOWNTOWN IF YOU'RE GOING BUILD LOFTS YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE SOUND IS GOING SOUND LIKE WHEN IT ECHOS ON

SECOND STORY. >> THERE IS A LOT OF SCENARIOS THAT COULD BE PLAYED OUT, IF WE CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH OF DEVELOPING AN ORDINANCE THAT CENTERS AROUND WHERE THE COMPLAINT COMES IN, RIGHT. Y'ALL CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I THINK THE EXISTING ORDINANCE WHILE IT IS CENTERED AROUND THAT WAY I THINK I SPECIFICALLY DOES IDENTIFY THE LOCATION ON THAT PROPERTY, RIGHT? LIKE I THINK IT IS A THE

PROPERTY LINE. >> THE CURRENT ORDINANCE WAS SET UP TO PROTECT THE RECEIVING PROPERTY. AND SO IT IS -- THE PROPERTY LINE OF THE PROPERTY WHERE THE NOISE IS BEING RECEIVED SO IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR HOUSE RECEIVING THE SOUND FROM A BAR ACROSS THE NEIGHBORHOODS. YOU'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT AT THE PROPERTY 9 YOUR HOUSE.

>>> GROUND LEVEL. >> GROUND LEVEL. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT IN A PARTICULAR BEDROOM OR ANOTHER LOCATION. AND IF YOU DO CROSS THE

[00:50:02]

THRESHOLD THEN 90 DOESN'T WORK AT YOUR PLACE. >> NOW WE'RE ASKING OFFICERS TO

BE IN TWO LOCATES AT THE SAME TIMES TO TRY TO DETECT THAT. >> WELL, I MEAN WE ARE AND WE'RE NOT. IF THE COMPLAINT IS COMING IN FROM A PROPERTY, THEN THAT IS WHERE WE'RE ASKING THE OFFICER TO BE. AND IF IT IS NOT, THEN IT IS

STILL A LIMITATION AT THE SOURCE. >> IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO KEEP THE CURRENT STANDARD IN PLACE, THERE IS NO TRON ADOPT A NOISE EXCEPTION IN AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. RIGHT? THE CURRENT CODE APPLIES CITYWIDE. AND SO IF YOU WANT TO SAY THAT THE CURRENT CODE WILL STILL APPLY TO BARS AND NIGHTCLUBS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT THERE IS NO REASON TO INCLUDE THAT

PARAGRAPH IN THIS NEW ORDINANCE. >>> THE INTENT WAS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WAS POTENTIALLY MORE WELCOMING TO THESE ESTABLISHMENTS, RIGHT? SO FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR BUSINESS WANTING TO SET UP THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS, WELL, MAYBE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE YOUR NOISE GO LONGER ENTICES YOU TO LOCATE YOUR BUSINESS DOWNTOWN, VERSUS SOMEWHERE ELSE, RIGHT? MAYBE DOWNTOWN YOU CAN HAVE IT A LITTLE LOUDER. AGAIN, AS A WAY TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT BRINGS THE BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY BUT TYPICALLY ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE THAT BY CREATING THAT ENVIRONMENT. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES TOO, THAT DANIELLE DIDN'T HIT ON, IS IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS AND WE HAVE MULTIPLE ESTABLISHMENT, LET'S SAY ON THE SAME BLOCK AND FOLLOW THE MODEL WE HAVE NOW BASED ON THE RECEIVING END, THEN IT WOULD BE HARD TO DETERMINE, YOU KNOW, WHICH OF THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS IS THE ONE THAT, YOU KNOW, TRIGGED THAT ABOVE 60 OR ABOVE 50 OR WHATEVER IT IS, RIGHT. AT THAT POINT YOU'RE HAVING TO GO TALK TO FIVE DIFFERENT ESTABLISHMENTS, NOT KNOWING WHICH REALLY IS CONTRIBUTING TO BED A FEW BLOCKS AWAY RADIO VERSUS IF YOU CENTER AROUND THE MIX ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS YOU CAN TAKE IT ESTABLISHMENT BY ESTABLISHMENT AND FOCUS IT THAT WAY.

NOW IS 90 THE RIGHT NUMBER? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT BUT IN TERMS OF PRINCIPLE, YOU KNOW, IT IS JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT, THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. AND I THINK CONSISTENCY, I THINK WOULD BE APPROPRIATE BECAUSE ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT SOMETIMES ARISES SPECIFICALLY IN THE EXAMPLE OF BREEZY'S WHERE YOU KNOW, IT IS RIGHT ON THE LINE, CITY LIMIT LINE IS HOW DO YOU DETERMINE HOW YOU ENFORCE IT, OKAY, BECAUSE A THAT THERE MIGHT BE PEOPLE SAYING, THAT ESTABLISHMENT INSIDE CITY LIMITS IS VERY LOUD. I HAPPEN TO BE OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS SO IT IS ABOVE 60 ON MY PROPERTY, BUT THE ESTABLISHMENT IS INSIDE CITY LIMITS.

THAT SCENARIO HOW DO YOU HOLD IT TO THE ESTABLISHMENT. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY REGARDLESS OF WHICH PATH WE GO TO IT IS OUR OFFICERS GOING AND TALKING WITH MANAGEMENT ABOUT THE SITUATION SO THERE IS JUST A LOT TO THINK ABOUT, PROBABLY MORE THAN WE REALIZE WHEN WE WENT DOWN THIS PATH BUT IS CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO RECTIFY, CLARIFY AND HOPEFULLY COME UP WITH A PRODUCT THAT IS CONSISTENT, DEFINITELY EASIER TO UNDERSTAND, JUST DANIELLE READING OFF OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE, IS A MOUTHFUL IF NOTHING ELSE COMING UP WITH EASIER LANGUAGE THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO ENFORCE WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR EVERYBODY

INVOLVED. >> IS THERE A PLAN IN PLACE TO GATHER MORE DATA AT DIFFERENT

POINTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND INCLUDE THAT? >> YES.

>> SO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DEPARTMENT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL BE WORKING DEVELOPING SCHEDULES TO DO THE SAME EXERCISE AROUND OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS THAT WE KNOW WE GET CALLS FROM. QUITE FRANKLY, WE GET CALLS -- I DON'T KNOW PERCENTAGE WISE, BUT AROUND THE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT HAVE MUSIC OUTDOORS. VERY RARELY GET CALLS FROM FOLKS WERE MUSIC INITIATES INDOORS, RIGHT, THAT IS WHY IT BRINGS UP THE ISSUE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WE JUST HAVE TO ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY THE OUTDOOR MUSIC PIECE SEPARATELY? AND DISTINGUISH THAT, MAYBE, MAYBE MOTT. WE KNOW THE COMPLAINTS WE RECEIVE ALL CENTER AROUND ESTABLISHMENTS THAT HAVE MUSIC OUTDOORS.

[00:55:04]

>> AND CAN YOU PULL UP THAT MAP AGAIN, PLEASE? I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD ONE PART OF THAT. SO AS I UNDERSTAND IT AT 7:00 P.M. THE RED DOT AND THE

BLOCK THAT WAS CIRCLED THERE, THAT WAS MEASURED AT THE SOURCE? >> CORRECT.

AND IT WAS 75 TO 82 WHICH COULD BE AT LEAST 8-DECIBELS BELOW WHAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WAS.

>> CORRECT. >> AND SO -- I GUESS MY QUESTION IS I SEE THE OTHER RED DOT THAT SHOWS THAT WAS AT 75 TO 82. AND THEN THE GREEN DOTS WERE 60 TO 75 WHICH WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE. MY POINT WOULD BE IF WE GO 8-DECIBELS HIGHER, YOU ALREADY HAVE FOUR OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT ORDINANCE. SO, THAT CAUSES ME A WHEN THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN IS WHEN WE NEED TO BRING IN RESIDENTS HOW DO WE DO PUNISHMENTTY-USE FACILITY, THAT SORT OF THING. WE KNOW RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO DRIVE OTHER BUSINESSES BUT, YOU KNOW, THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM CONSTITUENTS IS, LOOK, WE CAN LIVE WITH WHAT IS GOING ON NOW. YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALL KIND OF MADE ACCOMMODATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS TO IT. AND I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE DOWNTOWN NOW, YOU KNOW, KNOW WHAT THOSE ADJUSTMENTS NEED BE AND THE BUSINESSES AND SEEM TO BE WORKING FROM WHAT I HEAR.

MY CONCERN IS GOING IN AND TRYING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENCE THAT WILL CREATE AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE NOT ONLY FOR THE PEOPLE HERE NOW BUT GOING DISCOURAGE RESIDENTS MOVING DOWNTOWN LATER. SO I THINK WE DEFINITELY NEED TO LOOK AT MORE DATA ON IT.

>> EW AND WE OBSERVED THE SAME THING, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL AS WE COLLECT MORE DATA AND AS YOU ALSO ABSORB IT ALL IS THROUGH THOMAS' POINT IS THERE EVEN APTIED TO TRANSITION TO A SOURCE MODEL EVEN IF IT IS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT.

AND IF THE ANSWER IS YES, THEN WE WOULD ASK, WELL, DOES IT MAKE STONES CHANGE TO A SOURCE MODEL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY FOR THE SAKE OF COMMUNICATION, SIMPLICITY, ENFORCEMENT, YOU NAME IT, RIGHT? SO IT IS JUST A LOT OF THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.

>> BEFORE WE GO THERE, WOULD YOU GIVE US A BRIEF WHAT IS ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT? BECAUSE AT THE LAST MEETING, I DIDN'T GET THE SENSE THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BLARING OUTSIDE MUSIC. AND SO I'M NOT SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING WHAT AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IS. WHAT I'M HEARING TODAY IS CERTAINLY NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT

WAS. >> THE INTENT OF THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IN ESTABLISHING WAS TO ENCOURAGE MORE NIGHTLIFE AND ENTERTAINMENT IN A CENTRALIZED LOCATION.

>> WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN.

>>> ABSOLUTELY. >> RIGHT. >> DOES THAT BY DEFINITE MISSION

MEAN OUTDOOR CONCERT. >> THERE IS A SPECIAL COMPONENT IN THE ORDINANCE PROPOSED AS A TOTAL TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE MORE SPECIAL EVENTS IN DOWNTOWN AND ACTIVATION OF DOWNTOWN, BECAUSE

THAT WAS ALSO RECOMMENDED IN THE MASTER PLAN. >>> THE MAJORITY OF THE ELEMENTS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED CLEARLY THE NOISE NOT ALL RIGHT BUT THE NORTH OF THE ASPECTS ARE REALLY THINGS WE ALREADY DO TODAY, SHUTTING DOWN STREETS FOR FESTIVAL, RIGHT, THINGS LIKE THAT. ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXISTS BY ESTABLISHING ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IS THE MARKING AND GRANDING ASPECT OF IT.

AND SO BY HAVING AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT WE'RE ABLE TO MARKET A BRAND AND ABLE TO MARKET AN AREA AS A RECRUITMENT TOOL TO TRY TO GET FOLKS INTERESTED IN ESTABLISHING THIS ESTABLISH NTSB THE DOWNTOWN AREA, RIGHT. THINK OF IT AS A MARKETING BRANDING TOOL, RIGHT? BUT ALSO THINK OF IT AS SOMETHING THAT IS INTENDED TO CREATE AN AREA THAT COULD HAVE A VARIETY OF ESTABLISHMENTS IN PLACE.

AND WE TOOK THE VERBAGE FROM A COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT ORDINANCES THAT WE SAW IN OTHER CITIES YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT WE HAVE IT NOW WITH THE 90 THE SOURCE IS A COMMON APPROACH. EVEN IN CITYWIDE ORDINANCES FROM MY EXPERIENCE IS TYPICALLY CENTERED AROUND AROUND THE SOURCE. THE FACT OUR ORDINANCE CHANGED FROM THAT REGARD -- CHANGED IN 2015 TO TAKE AN APPROACH THAT CENTERED AROUND WHERE THE

[01:00:04]

>> AND AT THE END OF THE DAY AS FAR AS IT IS NOT LIKE LIME GOING TO SAY TOMORROW WE'RE GOING HAVE TEN NEW BARS AND RESTAURANTS IN DOWNTOWN, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THESE ARE NOT MY PROPERTY, THESE ARE NOT SOMETHING I HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER. BUT, IT IS JUST LIKE HE SAID, A MARKETING TOOL TO TRY TONE COURAGE MORE DIVERSITY IN OUR BUSINESSES IN DOWNTOWN.

AND HOPEFULLY WE COULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE LATER DOWN THE ROAD.

MS. WILLIAMS, LET'S SAY THERE IS MUSIC GOING ON, POINT OF MIXING, THESE READING WERE TAKEN

OUTSIDE, DIRECT. >> YES. >> MOST -- IF THERE WERE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN BUSINESSES, MOST OF THEM WOULD BE INDOORS BEHIND OTHER WALLS.

SO GOES TO SAY THAT THAT IS PROBABLY EVEN A LESS READING FROM THAT STANDPOINTLE MY PHONE DIED. I AM NOT AN AUDIOLOGIES BUT WAS LOOKING UP -- ADDIOOLOGIST.

IF I RECALL, 50 IS LIKE A DISHWASHER, 40 OR 50 WAS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN ONE METER BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE. WE'RE TALKING AUNT THESE NUMBERS, WHAT IS 60S? WHAT IS 50? THEY'RE THROWN ABOUT, BUT WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A REFERENCE OF WHAT THAT IS. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE HAS AN UNDERSTAND.

50 SOUNDS LIKE A LOT, YOU KNOW IF IT IS A MINIMUM THRESHOLD, SOME SAY A SIMPLE CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE ONE METER APART. YOU KIND OF GO, OH, NEIGHBOR IS NOT SUCH A BIG THING. AND I THINK THAT THEY'RE HAVING SOME UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT AND WHAT THAT ACTUALLY IS AN EQUIVALENT TO IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THIS

CONVERSATION. >> I WOULD AGREE, I WOULD AGREE. WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THOSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRUCK ME WAS, RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ANYTHING ABOVE 85 COULD DAMAGE YOUR HEARING THAT STRUCK ME BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT 90 AT THE SOURCE DEFINITELY I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION THERE HAS BEEN SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THAT, BUT NO KNOWING THAT WOULD IT ACTUALLY AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO WORK? I DON'T KNOW.

>> I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. >> WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO

ENACNE ORDINANCE AROUND. SOUND AMPLIFICATION, DIRECT. >> CORRECT.

>> IT WOULD NEED BE THE COUNTY WHICH COULD THEY -- DO THEY HAVE THAT ABILITY?

>> NO. >> THEY DON'T HAVE THAT ABILITY, DO THEY?

>> NO. NO. >> I WAS GOING SAY, PERSONALLY, I KIND OF LIKE THE DIRECTION OF OUR ORDINANCE WITH IT BEING THE LEVEL AT THE PLACE OF THE COMPLAINT AT THE RECIPIENT. I THINK IT FOSTERS BETTER RELATIONS BETWEEN NEIGHBORS.

AND INSTEAD OF JUST COMPLAINING THAT THEY'RE MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BY US HAVING A RELATIVELY REASONABLE LEVEL TO SAY, YOU DON'T LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE NO NEIGHBORS, BUT YOU KNOWSH WE CAN STILL KEEP YOUR LEVELS REASONABLE. I KNOW IT MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT OTHER CITIES DO.

I KIND OF LIKE THAT CONCEPT. >> I THINKNA WORKS FINE EXCEPT -- I THINK THAT WORKS FINE EXCEPT FOR THE SITUATION AT BREEZIES WHERE IT IS RIGHT ON THE CITY LIMITS EDGE AND THERE IS PLENTY OF RESIDENTIAL STUFF AROUND IT THAT IS IN THE COUNTY. OUR OFFICERS DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO TO THE COUNTY RESIDENT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SOUND TO GO BACK AND ADDRESS IT

WITH BREEZY'S. >> WHEREAS IF YOU HAD BOTH. >> THERE IS NOT A COUNTY ORDY DISMANS CAN'T BE A COUNTY ORDINANCE FOR SOUND. NOT LIKE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE

[01:05:04]

>> I WOULD HAVE TO BE. ANOTHER SCENARIO TO CONSIDER IS AS WE LOOK TO INCORPORATE MORE HOUSING DOWNTOWN AND SOME OF WHICH EXIST ON SECOND FLOORS IN BUILDINGS IS THAT YOU WOULD POTENTIALLY HAVE THE SCENARIO ROW WHERE YOU HAVE MUSIC ORIGINATING ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND SOMEONE LIVING ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND IF WE TRY TO ENFORCE SOMETHING THE WAY WE HAVE NOW, THAT PERSON ON THE SECOND FLOOR IS GOING BE HEAR THINGS. AND SO WE HAVE TO THINK OF THE REALITY TYPICALLY DOWNTOWNS ARE BUILT DIFFERENT THAN TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE OF THIS MIXED USE ENVIRONMENT WHICH RARELY EXISTS OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWNS.

AND THIS IS WHY ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT ORDINANCES ARE CENTERED AROUND AROUND THE SOURCE.

>> ALL RIGHT, DO Y'ALL HAVE ENOUGH DIRECTION TO GATHER MORE DATA.

>>> WE'LL GATHER MORE DATA AND RIGHT NOW IT WILL APPIER WE'RE OVERCOMPLICATING THE ISSUE BUT TO BE DECLARE THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS IT CREATES. TO THROW ANOTHER ONE AT YOU, DOWNTOWN IF OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL HOW DO WE QUALIFY A BUILDING THAT IS MULTI-PURPOSE? THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CLEANED UP. AS WE SEE MORE THAN LIKELY A RECOMMENDATION TO AMEND ALM OF THE ORDINANCES INVOLVED THAT TOUCH THIS, BECAUSE EVEN IF COUNCIL GIVES POLLTY DIRECTION TO STAY WITH THE EXISTING MODEL CITYWIDE THERE IS STILL OPPORTUNITY TO CLEANUP LANGUAGE.

>> WHAT TYPE OF TIME FRAME ARE YOU THINKING OF THAT BEFORE WE CAN BRING THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT BACK IN FRONT OF WITH US THOSE CHANGES? OR SHOULD WE GO AHEAD AND ADOPT IT AND TAKE OUT THE SOUND ONE FOR RIGHT NOW AND THEN CLARIFY IT IN CLEANING UP OUR OTHER

SOUND ORDINANCE? >> YEAH, REALLY, YOUR PREFERENCE, FROM OUR STANDPOINT, YOU KNOW, ESTABLISHING A ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT WILL BE HELPFUL BUT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WAS SENSE OF URGENCY THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN TODAY OR TOMORROW.

AND SO WE FIGURED THAT WE WOULD TAKE MAYBE A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO FINALIZE AND FINE TUNE WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO AROUND THE NOISE ORDINANCE AND BRING THE NOISE ORDINANCE BACK IF COUNCIL PREFERS,000 BRING BACK THE NOISE ORDINANCE AND EXCLUDE THE SECTIONS HITTING ON THE NOISE

ORDINANCE, WE COULD DO THAT AS WELL. >> AND PART OF THE DATA I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COMING BACK IF I COULD ADD TO IT IS CURRENT NOISE ORDINANCE WORKING? THAT IS A QUESTION I HAVE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO WE GET? WHAT DO THOSE LOOK LIKE?

I MEAN. >> WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW CHIEF JAMISON IS GOING HIT SON THIS REALITY THAT IN THE WORLD OF POLICE DEPARTMENT 911 CALLS, NOISE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT NEAR THE TOP OF PRIORITY RESPONSE LEVEL.

AND SO AS AN EXAMPLE, THE MAYOR HAD PROVIDED A VERY SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED AT BREEZY'S AND WHEN WE PULLED IT UP IT TOOK OUR OFFICER 20 MINUTES TO GET THERE BECAUSE THERE WERE HIGHER PRIORITY CALLS THAT THEY NEEDED TO RESPOND TO. SO I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN EXPECTATION MANAGEMENT, YOU KNOW, AROUND WHERE NOISE COMPLAINTS FALL IN THE SPECTRUM

OF CALLS THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT GET. >> ANYBODY SHIFT THAT TO CODE

ENFORCEMENT. >> I WOULD LOVE THAT. >>> MAJORITY OF COMPLAINTS HAPPEN AT NIGHT AND WE DON'T HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THAT WORK AT NIGHT.

UNLESS WE WANTED TO CONGRESS VERT CODE ENFORCEMENT A 24-HOUR OPERATION, WHICH I WOUND RECOMMEND. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ESTABLISHMENTS IN TOWN THAT HAVE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AND WE PULLED CALLS, WAS IT ALL OF THIS PAST YEAR OR YEAR DATE? YEAR DATE. AND I BELIEVE THAT WE HAD A TOTAL OF 150 COMPLAINTS THAT WE RECEIVED THAT WERE VARIOUS. BIRD DOGS WAS NUMBER ONE, THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT WE'VE GONE IN CONTACTED MANAGEMENT AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. WE HAVE DESMALMETERS IN EACH OF THE PATROL CARS AND CAN GO OUT AND TAKE A READING. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE RUN INTO AS WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOURS AT BREEZY'S BECAUSE IT IS A LOW PRIORITY CALL THE CALL MAY COME

[01:10:03]

WE HAVE SOME OPERATIONS, WE HAVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT IS INVOLVED AND THEY'RE GOING OUT AND CONTACTING SOME OF THE ESTABLISHMENTS. THE OFFICERS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB IN CHARACTERISTICKING MANAGEMENT, GETTING THEM IDENTIFIED, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THERE IS A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT WE RECEIVED. BUT WERE ALSO GOING TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO GO OUT AND SEE, CAN YOU WORK WITH US? WE DON'T WANT TO COME OUT AND ACTUALLY HAVE TO TAKE ENFORCEMENT ACTION, BUT WE'RE GOING HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T COMPLY WITH WHAT IS GOING ON. THAT IS THE APPROACH WE'RE TAKING.

I KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS GOING TO BREEZIES AND BIRD DOG'S I BELIEVE THIS WEEK AND GETTING A CALENDAR OF EVENTSES, BECAUSE ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE WERE TALKING OBTAIN EARLIER WITH THE TESTS THAT WE RAN, WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AN EVEN OR NOT ASK AGAIN, NOT AN ADD ADDIOOLOGIST. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH BASS.

>>> WITH WHAT? >> BASS. >> GOOD QUESTION, ONE OF THE ISSUES THE DECIBEL READERS ARE SO SENSITIVE, THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF, TURN OFTEN YOUR POLICE RADIO AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO GET AN ACTUAL SOUNDING THAT IS OUR SENSITIVE THEY ARE I KNOW WHEN DC YOUNG DID A TEST ON MAY 11TH, HE WAS GETTING -- DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT READINGS WERE WERE GETTING? THE SOURCE THE QUESTION ABOUT THE BASS NOTE OF THE MUSIC THE BASS SOUND IS GOING TRIG EAR DECIBEL READER DECIBELS ARE SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS THIS IS JUST A MEASURE OF HOW MUCH ENERGY IS IN THE AIR.

AND CERTAINLY THAT BASS SOUND WILL TRIGGER IT JUST AS MUCH AS ANOTHER LEVEL WILL.

IN FACT IF YOU LOOK AT THE WAY OUR CODE IS WRITTEN, IT IS REFERRED TO AS DB AND PARENTHESIS IS A. SO THE A SCALE VERSUS THE B SCALE WEIGHTS THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE AUDIO SPECTRUM DIFFERENTLY AND AT THE TIME WE ADOPTED THIS, NOW IT HAS BEEN 7 YEARS AGO, I KNOW THAT WE LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE SCALE THAT WERE AVAILABLE AND WHICH ONE WAS MORE LIKELY TO PICK UP THE SOUNDS THAT ARE UNDESIRABLE BY THE RESIDENTS.

AND SO SOME OF THAT DOES GET TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE ORDINANCE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.

>> THANK YOU. >> ALLISON J THAT'S SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL.

THAT WAS REGULAR CLIFF CLAVEN RIGHT THERE. >> TO SORT OF WRAP THIS UP IF COUNCIL DOESN'T HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK, WE'LL CONTINUE TO STUDY THE ISSUE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS INTERNALLY AND GO FROM THERE. AGAIN, IF COUNCIL PREFERS TO BRING BACK THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT JUST LET US KNOW. AND WE'LL DO THAT.

BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT DIRECTION, WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THIS ITS SHOE AND SIMPLY

DELAY THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. >> THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK.

[2. Update on Fiscal Year 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Plan. Jesús A. Gar...]

QUICK UPDATE ON OUR CIP PROGRAM. I'M NOT GOING TO OVERDO IT WITH TALKING TO YOU ABOUT IT BECAUSE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WE TALK ABOUT ON A QUARTERLY BASIS SO HOPEFULLY YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROGRAM. I DO WANT TO HIGH LEVEL REMIND YOU AND FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC

[01:15:05]

WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THIS, CIP IS SIMPLY A TOOL THAT WE USE TO TRY TO PROACTIVELY LAY OUT OUR PRIORITIES, OUR PROJECTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE USE IT AS A FINANCIAL TOOL TO HELP PLAN OUT WHEN WE ISSUE DEBT, HOW MUCH DEBT DO WE ISSUE AND JUST HOW DO WE SPEND OUR MONEY.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE ATTEMPTED TO DO OVER THE YEARS AS A QUICK REFRESHER IS FORMALIZE THE CIP PROCESS A LITTLE BIT MORE TO ACCOMPLISH A COUPLE OF THING, ONE, BE MORE INCLUSIVE AND NOT HAVE A CIP THAT IS STRICTLY CENTERED ON INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT ALSO INCORPORATE SOME QUALITY OF LIFE ITEMS. BUT ALSO IS MORE CONSISTENT WITH NOT ONLY OUR 20, 35 PRESENCIVE PLAN, BUT CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF THE OTHER MASTER PLANS THAT WE HAVE RECENTLY ADOPTED.

ATTEND OF THE DAY WE COULD PROBABLY ALL DISAGREE THAT IT WOULD BE POINTLESS TO, PEND THE MONEY AND TIME TO DEVELOP ANY OF THESE MASTER PLANS FOR THEM TO SIT ON A SHELF.

WE WANT TO HAVE A CI NA IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY INCORPORATES THOSE INITIATIVES INTO THE FOLD SO HAVING THIS ROAD MAP IS IMPORTANT FOR US. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW IS ALWAYS A QUESTION IS AROUND, YOU KNOW, HOW FORMAL IS THIS PROGRAM? AND AS WE -- AS WE OFTEN DISCUSS IS THAT IT IS A LIVING, BREATHING DOCUMENT.

BUT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A LIVING, BREATHING DOCUMENT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T BE ORGANIZED ENOUGH WITH IT SO THAT THE MAJORITY OF IT CAN BE ESTABLISHED THE WAY WE ENVISION IT BEING ESTABLISHED.

AND I'M NOT GOING WALK YOU THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE WAY WE APPROACH THE CIP IN THE PAST.

I FEEL CONFIDENT IN THE WAY WE APPROACH THE CIP PUTTING US IN A POX TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND CREATING FLEXIBILITY TO ADD THINGS THAT MIGHT ARISE. SOME OF THAT IS OBVIOUSLY DUE THE FACT THAT WE JUST SO HAPPEN TO HAVE DEBT CAPACITY IS OPENING UP OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THAT OBVIOUSLY IS A BLESSING FOR US TO HAVE THAT LEVEL OF FLEXIBILITY AND CONFIDENCE IN THE CIP. THAT CERTAINLY DOESN'T HURT THE CAUSE. BUT NONETHELESS THINGS ARE FALLING IN LINE FOR US TO ACHIEVE THAT. ONE OF THE OTHER THINS THAT WE DISCUSSED AS WELL IS MOVING AWAY FROM THE FIVE-YEAR CIP WINDOW TO A SHORTER TERM WINDOW THIS HELPS US FOCUS MORE ON OUR GOALS AND HELPS US STAY MORE ON TRACK WITH THOSE GOALS AS AN EXAMPLE THE CIP YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU AND THAT I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH DID NOT ADD A FISCAL YEAR COMPONENT TO IT.

HAD WE CONNED THAT CYCLE OF MAKING IT A FIVE-YEAR CIP WE WOULD HAVE SPENT TIME AND ENERGY TRYING TO ADD STUFF INTO THE FISCAL YEAR 2027 INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE GOALS WE HAVE IN THE NOW AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO IF WE COMPLETELY SHIFT TO THIS THROUGH YOUR CIP PLANNING MODEL, WE WON'T ACTUALLY ADD A '27 UNTIL WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FISCAL YEAR '25 EDITION OF THE CIP THAT WOULD INCORPORATE' 25,' 26, AND THEN' 27. THIS GIVES US TIME TO FOCUS ON THE NOW AND THE RECENT FUTURE THIS IS SIMPLY A GRAPH INTENDED TO ILLUSTRATE THE FACT THAT RCIP IS GROWING. THIS IS ALSO DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ADDITIONAL DEBT CAPACITY BUT ALSO DUE THE FACT THAT WE ARE THINKING MORE CREATIVELY AND WE HAVE OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTORRING TO THE FOLD SO AS EXAMPLE IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, YOU'LL NOTICE THE LINE-ITEM FOR THOROUGHFARE IS THE HIGHEST IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THIS, I GUESS, WHAT IT IS, 8-YEAR HISTORY THAT WE SHOW HERE. THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE UHV BEN WILSON PROJJECT. BUT THIS GIVES YOU A SENSE OF JUST HOW WE'VE EVOLVED THE CIP AND GIVES YOU AN IDEA OFF THE BAT HAS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN UTILITY PROJECTS SHOWN IN BLUE. YOU ALSO SEE THAT WE CONTINUE OUR INVESTMENT IN THOROUGHFARE STREETS AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND AGAIN THAT ELEMENT OF IT IS SKEWED IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 BECAUSE OF UHV'S CONTRIBUTION TO THAT. OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD LOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE COME COMPARABLE. I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH

[01:20:01]

THE PREVIOUS FIVE-YEAR WITHIN DOE ADDRESSED 75 FOR CONTEXT WE HAVE OVER 326 MILES OF CITY-MAINTAINED STREETS THREAT OUR COMMUNITY. IF WE WERE TO ADD THOSE TWO FIVE-YEAR PLANNING WINDOWS OVER THE 10-YEAR PERIOD, WE WOULD HAVE ASSED AND CLOSE 20 TO 60% OF THE STREETS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THAT IS A BIG DEAL. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I FEEL WE COULD FEEL PROUD OF AND HOPEFULLY DO FEEL PROUD OF. IT IS OBSIGHIOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX EVERY SINGLE STREET IN ONE YEAR, BUT WE'RE HEADED DOWN A GOOD PATH OF ADDRESSING CLOSE TO 60% OF ALL OF OUR STREETS IN A 10-YEAR WINDOW THAT IS HUGE, THAT IS SIGNIFICANT.

AND SO TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF THAT, YOU'LL SEE THAT FISCAL YEAR 2022 INCLUDED 16 MILES, 23 INCLUDED 18 THE PREVIOUS AVERAGE WAS 50 AND AT THE OUTER YEARS OF THIS PLANNING WINDOW WHICH I WON'T NECESSARILY SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THAT WILL INCLUDE FISCAL YEARS 2024 AND 2026 THAT INCREASES DRAMATIC COLLISION YOU'LL HEAR ME TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL, SPECIFICALLY WITHIN OUR ENGINEERING AND CI PI DIVISION, BECAUSE WE'RE EMBARKING ON MORE PROJECTS AT A HIGHER VOLUME THAN EVER BEFORE.

IF WE WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT OUR RESOURCES CENTERED AROUND THE IMPRIME MINISTRATION OF THAT. BUT AGAIN, STREETS REMAINS A PRIORITY.

THIS HERE SUMMARIZES JUST OVERALL THE REMAINING FOUR YEARS OF THIS PLANNING WINDOW WHICH RUN FROM '23 TO' 2326 THIS IS SIMPLY INTENDED TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THING, ONE, THE TOTAL, WHICH IS $124 MILLION. IF WE WERE TO INCORPORATE 2022 THAT WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $ 150 MILLION THE OTHER THING TO NOTED, TOO, IS THAT WE OBVIOUSLY ARE VERY DIVERSE WITH OUR FUNDING SOURCES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS THE BULK OF IT CENTERS AROUND OUR GENERAL FUND. THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS AND THE UTILITY FUND.

BUT THERE IS ALSO THE INCLUSION OF A FEW OTHER FUNDS. LY HIT A LITTLE BIT ON THE ONE REMAINING OR COUPLE OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE STILL REMAIN IN THE CIP ASSOCIATED WITH GRANTS, BECAUSE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON. AND THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY SUCH A HIGH INCREASE ON THE UTILITIES SIDE OF THIS CIP. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS INTENDED TO SHOW THE DIVERSIFICATION OF THE FUNDS, YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY TAKE A DEEPER DIVE IN YOUR NOTEBOOK.

BUT AS MENTIONED, I WANT TO FOCUS ON FISCAL YEAR 2023. THAT IS WHAT WE ULTIMATELY NEED TO DECIDE ON THIS SUMMER. FISCAL 2023 IS A PROGRAM OVER $40 MILLION.

THIS INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL STREET, THOROUGHFARE STREETS, UTILITIES AS MENTIONED AND IT ALSO LOOKS AT CONTINUING THE STREETLIGHTING PROGRAM THAT WE STARTED THIS YEAR TO ENHANCE THAT. AND I HAVE A FEW FUTURE SLIDES THAT WILL HIT ON SOME OF THESE OTHER SPECIAL PROJECTS. BUT WHEN, A DIVERSIFIED PROGRAM FOR 2023 AND THE TAKEAWAY HERE IS FOR WE'RE RECOMMENDING LITTLE ABOVE $FRAWN MILLION IN CIP PROGRAMMING.

>> I WON'T GO THROUGH THESE INDY TAIL BECAUSE AHAVE A BETTER SLIDE WITH A MAP THAT YOU'LL APPRECIATE BETTER QUICKLY THE RESIDENTIAL STREET PROGRAM INCLUDES LITTLE OVER 4 MILLION, THAT IS A COMBINATION OF NOW OVERLAY AND SEAL COAT AND I'LL WALK THROUGH THAT IN ANOTHER SLIDE. SOMETIMES WE ATMOSPHERE TO THEM ADDRESS COLLECTOR STREETS AS WELL BUT CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THOSE. I MENTIONED THE STREETLIGHT PROJECT AND MENTIONED THE CONTINUANCE OF THE UTILITY PROGRAM.

SPEAKING OF UTILITY PROJECTS THIS IS A LIST OF PROJECTS THAT TOTAL OVER 20 MILLION WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE AND YOU'LL NOTICE AND SEE IT BETTER ON A MAP HERE SHORTLY THAT WE'RE

[01:25:04]

AND AGAIN, I'LL HAVE A FEW SLIDES HITTING ON THE REMAINING ITEMS. THE RESIDENTIAL STREET PROGRAM AS MENTIONED, IN SPECIFIC PIECE, SIMPLY ONLY INCLUDES A SEAL CODE IN THE MALE, THIN OVERLAYS AND SO WE MAPPED THAT OUT. YOU'LL HEAR LATE ME MENTION THAT IN JULY, WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE A REPORT THAT IS STUDYING THE SUBBASE OF THESE STREETS THAT WILL CONFIRM WHETHER THESE STREETS CAN TAKE A THIN OVERLAY OR NOT.

WORST CASE SCENARIO WE'LL MAKE THOSE SEAL COATS THE WAY WE CHANGED A COUPLE OF STREETS THIS PAST YEAR AGAIN, IT DOESN'T ELIMINATE OR REMOVE THE STREET FROM BEING ADDRESSED NEXT YEAR BUT MIGHT SIMPLY CHANGE THE APPLICATION AND THE METHOD THAT WE ADDRESS THAT STREET BASED OFF OF THAT REPORT. ON THE THOROUGHFARE STREETS OR COLLECTORS THIS KINDS OF HITS ON THAT A LITTLE BIT. AND THERE ALSO LE DELINEATES WHAT CONSTRUCT I'LL LET YOU LOOK

AT THAT FOR A SECOND. >> SO WE ARE CONTINUING TO OUR FOCUS ON THOROUGHFARE CHECKER STREETS. AND IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING -- I KNOW I MENTIONED THIS AT THE ROTARY LUNCH EARLIER TODAY WHERE I SPOKE AT BUT THE INCLUSION OF MILL AND OVERLAY INTO THE PROGRAM IS MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MAKING THIS DENT ON STREET.

BECAUSE MILL/OVERLAY ARE LESS COSTLY THAN RECONSTRUCTS BUT PROCESS LOOKS THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED. THAT HAS BEEN HUGE BENEFIT FOR OUR PROGRAM.

UTILITY PROJECTS, THIS KIND OF JUST SHOWS WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED AROUND TOWN.

I MENTIONED TANGLEWOOD, BON AIR, COLLEGE PARK, ASR, AND WE ARE BEGINNING A 10-YEAR PROGRAM TO REPLACE OUR WATER METERS. THEY'RE REACHING THEIR ENDS OF LIFE AND SO WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO START REPLACING THOSE. AND SO YOU MAY RECALL FROM GILBERT'S PRESENTATION AT OUR LAST QUARTERLY WORKSHOP, WE'RE INCORPORATING HALF MILLION DOLLAR INTO THAT PROGRAM.

AND WE ENVISION DOING THIS FOR TEN YEARS. SO THAT WE CAN SLOWLY BUT SURELY REPLACE THAT METER, THAT WILL PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ALSO LOOK AT NEW TECHNOLOGIES THERE THAT MIGHT ENHANCE RESIDENT'S ABILITIES TO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING.

THAT WILL BE A NEAT PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE TEN YEARS BUT WE'VE GOT TO DO IT SLOWLY BUT SURELY.

DRAINAGE. THIS IS ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED LAST YEAR. I KNOW THIS LONE TREE ACRE HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. IT INITIATED AS A STREET PROJECT AND TURNED INTO A DRAINAGE PROJECT FOR JUST THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLANNED SAID, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE WE THINK WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THIS LARGER PROJECT TO NOT ONLY BENEFIT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD BUT ALSO BENEFIT THAT AREA AS A WHOLE.

AND HELP POTENTIALLY GET SOME OF THIS LAND TO A DEVELOPABLE STAGE VERSUS RIGHT NOW THEM NOT BEING THAT. AND SO WE ARE NOW ACCOUNTING FOR THE LARGER SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT. WE HAVE INTENTIONALLY WITHHELD ON THE STREETS PIECE.

BUT WE'LL GET THERE BUT THIS IS A PROJECT EXTENDING FROM THE MASTER PLAN INTO THE CI PI THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A PROJECT WE'VE INCORPORATED STEMMING A MASTER PLAN THIS BEING THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN. SO WE INCLUDE CLOSE $2.5 MILLION TO GET THE BALL ROLLING.

WITH THE CONSTRUCTION ASPECT OF THIS, OF COURSE, COUNCIL LAST MONTH APPROVED A ENGINEERING CONTRACT WITH FREIZ AND NICHOLS AND WE ANTICIPATE GETTING THE FINDINGS OF THAT IN TIME.

BY AUGUST SO THAT AS WE FINALIZE THE BUDGET AND CIP PROGRAM WE KNOW WHETHER THE 2.5 IS SUFFICIENT TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES OR WHETHER WE NEED TO REDUCE SCOPE OR JUST FIGURE OUT ONCE WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION. SO THAT WILL BE VERY HELPF FOR US OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. BUT FOR NOW $2.5 MILLION IN THE '23 CIP IN THE DELEON

[01:30:07]

ALSO THE CIP NOT ONLY IN FISCAL YEAR '23 BUT IN OUT YEARS OFFICIALLY INCORPORATES A LONG OVERDUE PROJECT WHICH IS A PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING THE 2018 VERSION OF THIS WAS AN OVER $60 MILLION PROJECT THAT WAS GOING BE MUCH LARGER IN SCOPE, MUCH LARGER PIECE OF LAND IN TERMS OF THE ACREAGE THE PROJECT TAKES UP. WE REHIRED THE ARCHITECT, REWENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS, AND GOTT DOWN TO ONE BUILDING AND TO A PROPOSED BUDGET OF CLOSE TO 25 TO $30 MILLION DEPENDING ON WHAT THE DESIGN LOOKS LIKE. AND SO THIS CI PI SPECIFICALLY FOR '23 INCORPORATES THAT WILL ACCOUNT THE MONEY TO ACQUIRE A PIECE OF PROPERTY BUT ALSO OFFICIALLY KICK OFF THE DESIGN CONTRACT WITH THE ARC THAT'S CORRECT DESIGN FOR THE FACILITY COULD TAKE PLACE DURING FISCAL YEAR '23 THIS FACILITY WOULD HOUSE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, MUNICIPAL COURT, FIRE ADMINISTRATION AND 911 DISPATCH. THIS FACILITY WOULD CONSOLIDATE CLOSE TO SEVEN FACILITIES THAT BOTH DEPARTMENTS USE ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY & INTO ONE.

AND SO THIS WILL DEFINITELY NOT ONLY PROVIDE A BETTER SPACE FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS LONG OVERDUE, BUT CREATE A SYNERGY THAT CURRENTLY JUST DOESN'T EXIST.

I DON'T I HAVE A SEPARATE SLIDE FOR THIS, BUT IN YOUR BOOK YOU'LL SEE IN FISCAL YEAR '24 WE'VE INCORPORATED $15 MILLION ON THE CO SIDE FOR THE BUILDING AND WE ALSO PLAN TO FUND $10 MILLION FOR AN INITIAL TOTAL ALLOCATION OF $25 MILLION INTO THE CIP FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS BUILDING BEGINNING IN FISCAL YEAR '24 ONCE THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE.

AND OBVIOUSLY AS WE GO THROUGH THE DESIGN, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TWEAK AS WE GO AND WE OBVIOUSLY GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS EVERY YEAR AND AS WE GET CLOSER TO DEVELOPING THE FISCAL YEAR '24 EDITION OF THE CIP IF WE NEED A TWEAK, WE'LL TWEAK AND WE'LL ADDRESS THAT AS THEY COME.

BUT FOR NOW THIS IS IN THERE. AND I CAN TELL YOU, THAT EVERYBODY IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. THEY ACTUALLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

THEY'VE EVEN TOLD ME THEY WON'T BELIEVE IT UNTIL THE DOOR OPENS. SO WE'LL SEE, YEAH, SHAKING HIS HEAD BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT IS TRUE. THEY WON'T CLAIM VICTORY UNTIL THE SUCKER IS UP, RIGHT? ANYWAY, SO THAT IS JUST A BRIEF RECAP OF THE OVERALL CI PI AND SPECIFICALLY THE FISCAL YEAR '23, AS I SAID YOU THE NOTEBOOK THAT ACTUALLY TAKES YOU ALL THE WAY THROUGH FISCAL YEAR '26 IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN VIEWING THE OUTER YEARS.

OUR FOCUS IS THE FISCAL YEAR' 23 SINCE WE NEED TO THREAT THIS SUMMER.

A COUPLE OF THINGS I'VE ELUDED TO WE'LL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE YOUR FEEDBACK, WE'LL PROPOSE A NEW STAFFING MODEL FOR OUR CIP AND ENGINEERING DIVISION TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN PROPERLY IMPLEMENT THE CI PI THAT YOU SUPPORTED. AND THAT MIGHT HAVE SOME IMPLICATIONS ON JUST THE FUNDING ASPECTS OF THE CI PI, BUT WE'LL FALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN JUNE WE EXPECT REPORT ON THE SUB-BASE CONDITIONS IN JULY THAT MAY ALTER WHICH WE APPLY TO STREETS AND COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE LICKERRING THAT MAY SPECIALLY IMPACT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY WHAT'S THAT YOU MAY HAVE ON THE CIP. AND I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT TO MENTION WE I INCORPORATED THE DESIGN PREENGINEERING DESIGN FOR NORTH STREET AND GUY GRANT TO HELP US GATHER MORE INFORMATION AS WE DEVELOP THE OUTER YEAR EDITION OF THE CIP.

AND SO THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL THAT THOSE TWO THOROUGHFARES THAT WE

FOCUS ON KNELT NEXT. >> I'M TALKING TO REALLY THEY DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT, I'M JUST THE MESSENGER, BUT THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORKING ON IT SO THANK YOU, GUYS THAT'S ALL YOU
