THAT'S ONE OF OUR AGENDA ITEMS TONIGHT. HARRY. I THINK IT'S LIKE THE MAN BUT WE HAD AN EXCELLENT TURNOUT. EXCELLENT PARTICIPATION AND WHAT WAS VERY KEY FOR THE GROUP IS WE HAD A COMMISSION MEMBER WHO WANTED TO BRING BACK SOME TOPICS. THE ENTIRE CHARTER RECONVENED TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES AND HELP MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S VOICE WAS HEARD WITHIN THAT COMMISSION. EXTREMELY PROUD OF THIS GROUP THAT YOU HELPED PUT TOGETHER IN AMERICA. AND UH, EXPECT STREAM EXCITED FOR OUR FUTURES IN TOWN. THANK YOU. TAKING YOUR APPROACH HIM, AS HE SAID, WE'LL BE DISCUSSING ITEM IN WHICH IS THE ACTION TO CALL THE ELECTION ON THAT CHARTER LATER IN THE EVENING. BUT AS FAR AS JUST A FEW COMMENTS ON THE COMMISSION, I AM ALSO VERY PROUD OF THE COMMISSION. I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS PUBLICLY. THERE WERE 19 MEMBERS THAT EVENTUALLY GOT SEATED ON THE ON THAT COMMISSION. AND FROM ALL OVER THE TOWN, AND THEY CONTRIBUTED A GREAT AMOUNT OF INTEREST AND ENTHUSIASM IN THE PROCESS. FROM WHAT I'M TOLD I WASN'T A PART OF IT. BUT IN DEBRIEFING WITH A COUPLE SINCE THEY WRAPPED UP THEIR WORK LAST WEEK IT'S BEEN A JOY TO HEAR HOW ENTHUSIASTIC THERE ABOUT THE PROCESS AND THE PRODUCT THEY PUT TOGETHER. THEY GOT TWO BY CONSENSUS, WHICH IS IMPORTANT AND SO WE'RE PROUD TO BE ABLE TOC THAT DOCUMENT WITH THE TOWN HERE AND SEE WHAT'S IN IT AND DECIDE YOU KNOW HOW WE EACH FEEL ABOUT IT COMING. SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE BRIEFING FOR THE HOMEWORLD CHARTER THIS EVENING. AT THIS TIME, WE'LL GO TO ITEM C POLICE VEHICLE 
          [3.C. Police Vehicle Graphics Update]
GRAPHICS UPDATE AND MR CORN YOU HAVE THAT DATE FOR US ME AND SUMMARIZE OUR. OPTIONS THIS EVENING DECISION POINTS. YES SIR. HERE'S THE EXISTING DESIGN. HERE IS A DESIGN THAT STAFF WORKED ON TO INCORPORATE. MORE OF OUR COLORS AND SOME OF OUR LOGO'S AND SO WE HAVE, AND THERE WAS MENTIONED UNALTERED KNIT ALTERNATIVE DESIGN AND THAT THAT IS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THAT. GRAPHIC DESIGNER S SO BASICALLY HAVE THREE OPTIONS FOR COUNSEL. 
          CONTINUE WITH THE EXISTING POLICE GRAPHICS MOVE FORWARD WITH THE. THOSE AIR GO FORWARD WITH A NEW DESIGN AS AZIZ PROPOSED BY STAFF OR ENGAGE A GRAPHIC DESIGNER AND GO FOR AN ALTERNATE DESIGN. WITH A GRAPHIC DESIGNER. WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED TO 
          [00:10:06]
CONTINUE WITH THE EXISTING DESIGN THAT IT WILL TAKE THE DESIGNER LITTLE BIT TOE, GET ON BOARD AND DESIGN THAT SO, WAY NEED TO MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT, BUT WELL, WELL, WE WILL RETROFIT ALL THE ALL THE DESIGNS TO WHATEVER COUNCIL DECIDES. SO THERE'S WE HAVE TWO VEHICLES COMING IN. IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IS THAT CORRECT? YES SIR. OKAY AND CAN YOU GIVE US AH ESTIMATE OF WHAT IT'LL COST TO PAINT THOSE IN THE CURRENT LOGOS. UM. WELL TO REPAINT THEM LATER. WHAT WILL THE ADDITIONAL COSTS ARE INCURRING IF WE EITHER CAN'T COME TO A DECISION TONIGHT, THEY WOULD LIKE TO DELAY ROBERT WAS IT WAS IT ABOUT 500? REMOVE AND RE APPLY. 
          OKAY? ROUGHLY 1000 OKAY. DIRECTOR TOE REMOVED AND REPLACE. OKAY, SO IF WE IF WE DON'T GO FORWARD WITH SOMETHING NEW THIS EVENING DIRECTLY, THEN WE NEED TO SPEND UP TO $1000 FOR THOSE TWO VEHICLES. THERE IS A PRICE FOR THE GRAPHIC DESIGNER THAT WAS PROPOSED. UH THERE WAS SOMEONE THAT PROVIDED US WITH A QUOTE THROUGH ONE OF THE COUNSELORS. OKAY? AND WHAT WAS THAT PRICE? UM. WELL, NOT ME. IT WAS $1500 HERE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU HAVE SEVERAL OPTIONS HERE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT A LOT TO WORK WITH HERE THIS EVENING FOR THE COUNCIL, BUT THIS ISN'T SOMETHING. YOU HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON. MEANING YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO A FORMAL ACTION ITEM BECAUSE THIS IS WITHIN THE SCOPING PURVIEW OF THE BUDGET FOR THE STAFF TO GO AHEAD AND T DO THESE THESE THESE THINGS IF WE DO WANT TO GO WITH A GRAPHIC DESIGNER, THEN WE PROBABLY NEED TO OPEN THAT UP TO AH, MANY RFP BUT WE CAN. WE CAN DEFINITELY GO DOWN THAT PATH AS WELL. SO WHAT WE NEED TONIGHT IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE COUNCIL ON WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO DO WHAT THEY LIKE TO DEFER THIS DECISION USED THE EXISTING LOGO FOR NOW FOR THE VEHICLES COMING IN AND THEN TAKE SOME MORE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THIS OR TAKE UP A GRAPHIC DESIGNER. OR WE CAN ON THE SPOT. TAKE THE NEWS, AINAS WELL AND MOVE FORWARD WITH WITH RETROFITTING ALL THE VEHICLES TO THAT. SO COUNSELORS, FLORIST YEARS. WE NEED SOME FEEDBACK FROM YOU TONIGHT TO KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE US TO DO. I THINK WE OUGHT TO GO WITH THE CURRENT OPTION. I WOULDN'T MIND A SECOND LOOK AT SOMETHING, BUT IF WE'RE TALKING, GETTING VEHICLES IN AND HAVING A STRIP AND REPAINT THEM. AND PAY A ANOTHER. DESIGNER ON TOP OF THAT COST. I THINK WE SHOULD JUST GO WITH THE CURRENT OPTION AND JUST. YOU DONE WITH IT? COUNSELOR THE ONE THAT'S ON THE VEHICLES NOW OR THE ONE THAT BUT THAT'S IT. STAFF CAME UP WITH NOTHING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ILLEGAL. THIS IS AH, YEAH, THIS IS OUR DESIGN OPTION. 
          YES, SIR. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. HURRY IN OTHER COUNSELORS, YOUR FEEDBACK, PLEASE. HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? JUST CARS. REAP. ABOUT 1000 APIECE. AND THEN MOVING FORWARD ALL WHEN WE DO, PURCHASE THE CAR, AND WE ALL SAID THAT WE DO BUDGET IN THAT, UM, THE DESIGN THAN THE DETAIL. SO THE TWO THEY'RE COMING ONLINE ALREADY HAVE THAT BUDGETED. WE JUST NEED TO GET KNOW WHICH DIRECTION YOU WANT. STICK WITH THE OLD PROPOSED OR GO OUT FOR DESIGN. BUT REGARDLESS OF WHICH ONE WE PICK UNLESS WE STAY WITH THE EXISTING WHAT'S ON THERE NOW IT'S 1000 TOE. FEEL AND RE STICK. AND WE COULD CHOOSE JUST TO DO THE TWO NEW CARS AND NOT REDO THE OLD ONES. OF COURSE, AND WE COULD, AS WE REPLACE. WE WOULD HAVE A CONSISTENT IMAGE. 
          BUT THE WE WOULD JUST REPLACE AS WE AS WE REPLACE THE VEHICLES. THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION. HOW OFTEN DO YOU REPLACE VEHICLES EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO. UM. WITH WHEAT NOW, SO WE'VE SHIFTED TO SHARING THE VEHICLES SO WE DON'T BUT AT THE SAME TIME OUR STAFF IS INCREASING. SO ROBERT, I WOULD SAY, PROBABLY EVERY YEAR WE BRING ON THE LEAST ONE VEHICLE SOMETIMES TOO. SO A TWIST ONE OR TWO ANNUALLY, COUNSELOR HARDMAN KID YOU WEIGH AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE WE'RE ALL BACK TO CONSISTENT VEHICLE? GONNA TAKE US FIVE YEARS TO GET THE REST OF CARS ROTATED OUT. OKAY? LITTLE LONG. YEAH. THESE DECALS WRAPS FAINT. WHAT HAVE YOU WHAT KIND OF APPLICATION IS THIS? BREATH, OKAY? WITH REGARD 
          [00:15:08]
TO THE STATEMENT ABOUT THE GRAPHIC DESIGNER THAT WAS SENT TO ME AFFORDED A FEW MAYOR AND IT'S THE DESIGNER WHO DESIGNED OUR ORIGINAL LOGO. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE AND ALL OF THE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS AND COLLATERAL FOR THE TOWN OF NORTH LIKE, SO I DON'T THINK THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT UP TO SPEED, SO TO SPEAK, BECAUSE I THINK SHE'S UP TO SPEED ON OUR LEAD, BUT OKAY? SHOWED HER THIS DESIGN AND WITHOUT BEING CRITICAL, AND THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING CRITICAL. THIS IS ABOUT HAVING A CONSISTENT IMAGE FOR THE TOWN OF NORTH LIKE THERE'S A SEPARATION OF OUR LOGO, WHICH IS THE NORTH LIKE DIRECTIONAL WITH THE END, OKAY, AND THERE'S A SEPARATION OF THAT, AND IT'S PLACED OVER THE WHEEL. WELL, SHE SAID. YOU DON'T DO THAT IN GRAPHIC DESIGN. YOU DON'T SEPARATE THE LOGO OUT. BECAUSE ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY KNOW THE LOGO WHICH SOME OF US REALLY KNOW THIS LOGO. UM. NO. WHAT THAT REPRESENTS. LIKE I SAID, IF I DIDN'T KNOW IT, AND I SAID THIS IS THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THAT'S LIKE THE HEADDRESS OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY OVER THE WHEEL WELL, AND SO. I THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO BE MORE INTEGRATED INTO OUR LOGO AND NOT PULLED APART AND PLACED IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CAR AND I DO THINK IT NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENT, BUT I'M WILLING TO WAIT FOR CONSISTENT. LOOK IF WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE CAR EACH YEAR WITH THE WITH THE NEW DESIGN, NEWLY DESIGNED LOGO. I'M FINE WITH THAT. I DON'T CARE FOR THIS ONE. REALLY? THING WOULD BE. NO. WHEN THAT STARTED HAPPENING, I BROUGHT THAT TO COUNSEL. I SAID, WHY'RE WE GOING OUT IN THE LEFT FIELD WITH ALL THESE DIFFERENT DETAILS ON ALL OF OUR POLICE CARS, AND I BROUGHT IT UP? TWO YEARS AGO, AT LEAST. AND SAID, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO HAVE A CONSISTENT LOOK AT THIS. AND DON'T KNOW HOW ALL THAT HAPPENED. I GUESS THAT HAPPENED IN HOUSE AND POLICE POLICE DEPARTMENT. BUT NO, I DON'T CARE FOR THE CURRENT ONES. MM HMM. THAT'S CORRECT. MADE A MADE A PRESENTATION FEBRUARY THIS TIME LAST YEAR, AND SHE I KNOW YOU WERE AND I SHOWED AH, HOLE. DESIGN OF THE LOGOS AND THE APPLICATION. THE LOGO TO THE PUBLIC WORKS VEHICLES. THE POLICE CARS, WHICH THIS DESIGNER DID ARE THE DESIGNER WHO DESIGNED OUR LOGO DID SO. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU COULD THINK ABOUT, TOO IS MAKING THAT LOCAL CONSISTENT OVERALL NORTHLAKE VEHICLES. ALL RIGHT, SO IN ORDER TO HELP US GET TO A DECISION HERE, THERE'S A COUPLE PROPOSALS BEING PUT OUT HERE. THERE'S ALSO A COUPLE PHASE INS. 
          SO FIRST OF ALL, IF WE COULD GET TO SOME KIND OF CONSENSUS ON WHICH OF THESE WILL BE THE FUTURE OPTIONS SO EITHER DESIGN A NEW ONE. USED THE NEW PROPOSED ONE OR STICK WITH THE OLD UNTIL WE MAKE A DECISION LATER. WE NEED TO COME TO COME TO SOME CONSENSUS AROUND ONE OF THOSE THREE OPTIONS FOR DECISION TONIGHT. A SECONDARY DECISION IS THE PHASE IN. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WILLINGNESS TOE WORK ON A PHASE IN PLAN, BUT THOSE AIR KIND OF TWO SEPARATE DECISIONS. WE CAN MAKE A DECISION IN EACH ONE. BUT THE ONE I NEED TONIGHT, EYES THE A, B OR C, SO I NEED YOU ALL TO COME TO SOME SORT OF OPINION. SOME MAJORITY OPINION ON THAT. HE HEARD A COUPLE OPTIONS. DO ANY OF YOU ALIGN WITH WITH A COUPLE OF THOSE OPTIONS AS PRESENTED SO FAR? DID YOU CATCH ALL THAT? YES I DID. I ACTUALLY HAD A QUICK QUESTION FOR A COUNCIL HARDER THAN SHE. SHE SHOWED US. I THINK HIS LAST MEETING SOME DESIGNS FROM HER DESIGNER CONTACT. AND SINCE THOSE WERE BROUGHT TO A PUBLIC MEETING ARE THOSE KNOW. AREN'T THOSE CONSERVATIVE PUBLIC? PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AND NOT I P. OKAY? I THOUGHT I THOUGHT ANYTHING DISCLOSED THE PUBLIC COUNCIL MEETING WAS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AND AT THAT TIME, SO. I DIDN'T KNOW WHY WE QUIT REVIEW THOSE AGAIN BENEFITS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. BUT, UM YEAH, AT THIS POINT, I MEAN, I KNOW THIS. HARTMAN FEELS VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS. I PERSONALLY DON'T MIND DESIGNED EITHER WAY, BUT I THINK I HATE TO PUT AROUND BRAND NEW GRAPHICS AND SARAH MOSS. I THINK THAT'S JUST A WASTE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO GET THE CARS, AND I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WE'RE CONSIDERING AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT. WE ARE REQUIRED TO 
          [00:20:01]
GO OUT FOR BIDS. WE DON'T HAVE TO FOR THIS TYPE OF DESIGN, BUT TYPICALLY MUCH LIKE WITH WASTE CONNECTIONS. I MEAN WITH THE WASTE COLLECTION. ARTHUIS WE DO TRY TO SEND OUT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO GIVE TO GIVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE OPPORTUNITIES. SO WE WOULD FOLLOW COUNSEL'S DIRECTIONAL NAPA. TYPICALLY WE WOULD GO OUT FOR OUR PEACE FOR REQUESTS. WE WOULD REQUEST PROPOSALS. FROM MORE THAN ONE PERSON CORRECT FOR WHOEVER RESPONDS SO IT COULD. YEAH. WE WOULD OPEN IT UP, WE'D ADVERTISE IT. WE TRY TO CONTACT OTHER GRAPHIC DESIGNERS AND OPEN THAT UP TO WHOEVER RESPONDS I'M JUST IS A LITTLE BACKGROUND I WORKED FOR ONE OF THE TOP ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS IN THE WORLD, AND WE HAD AN IN HOUSE GRAPHICS DEPARTMENT AND. 
          THAT GRAPHICS DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT DO THIS FOR THE PROCESS. SHE'S OFFERING IT WOULD PROBABLY EASILY BE FIVE TIMES THE AMOUNT I THINK THAT WAS NOTED IN THE AND THE QUOTE. AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE IN THE PACKET BECAUSE AFFORDED THAT TO THE MAYOR THAT BECAUSE SHE DID THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OVER 20 YEARS AGO THAT NORTH HAS BEEN A GOOD CLIENT OR WAS A GOOD CLIENT EARLY ON WHENEVER THEY NEEDED. ALL THIS DESIGN WORK DONE. THAT SHE HEAVILY DISCOUNTED HER FEET BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A RAMP UP COST. SHE KNOWS THE NORTH LIKE LOGO BECAUSE SHE DESIGNED IT. ARE WE HAVING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT I WOULD ALREADY BE OURS? THE APPLICATION. NO NO, THE LOGO IS THE USE OF THE LOGO IS NORTH LIKES. IT'S THE APPLICATION OF THAT LOGO AND A NEW DESIGN AS APPLIED TO POLICE VEHICLES. AND OTHER VEHICLES OF THE TOWN. WHATEVER YOU WANT, YOU CAN DO IT ON T SHIRT YOU GOT ON MUGS. 
          YOU COULD DO IT ON ANYTHING. IT'S THE APPLICATION THAT IN THE DESIGN, THEY HAVE TOE, YOU KNOW, DO THAT IN ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR OR WHATEVER GRAPHIC DESIGN TOOL THEY USE, THEN THEY HAVE TO SEND THAT TO THE PRINTER. THEY HAVE TO DO COLOR CHECKS. THERE'S A WHOLE LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS THAT A GRAPHIC DESIGNER HAS TO DO IN ORDER TO GET THIS. PRINTED AND APPLIED. 
          IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF IT. I'M NOT A GRAPHIC DESIGNER, SO WE ASKED THE POLICE CHIEF FOR OFFICERS, WHICH WHICH THEY PREFER, BECAUSE THIS IS GETTING DRAWN OUT. I DO BELIEVE THE POLICE SHOULD HAVE A SAY IN THIS. I MEAN, THEY HAVE TO DRIVE HIM EVERY DAY THEY INTERACT WITH COMMUNITY MORE. ANYBODY ELSE I'D I LIKE THE NEW DESIGN BECAUSE IT'S VERY PROMINENT AND HOW IT SAYS POLICE. THE TOWN NORTH LIKES IDENTIFIABLE. LOGO I THINK AT SOME PIZAZZ EVEN KNOW SOME DON'T AGREE WITH ITS PLACEMENT, BUT I'M NOT REALLY AGAINST THIS LITTLE GIRL. I THINK THE POLICE DO NOT HAVE A SAYING THAT AS WELL. CHOOSE CHIEFS ABOUT THE RESPOND. RIGHT? WOULD SAY. KEEP THE SAME GRAPHIC OR THE GIRL. THERE'S MUCH APPEAL. WHERE IS IT? THE INPUT FROM ALL THE OFFICERS, SOMEONE LIKE THIS. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, CHIEF. ALL RIGHT, AND THE INTEREST OF GETTING TO A DECISION HERE. THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY AN ACTION ITEM. BUT LET'S CALL FOR EMOTION AND SECOND, THE VOTE SO WE CAN GET TO LEAST VOTE HERE ON THE RECORD SO WE CAN PICK SOMETHING IN ACTION STEP OF SOME KIND. 
          SOMEBODY EVER CAN WE DO THAT WITHOUT BEING ACTIONABLE. IT'S NOT A WELL IT'S JUST WE'RE JUST BUT IT'S A VOTE. BUT YOU'RE NOT. UM IT IS, BUT IT'S IT DOESN'T HAVE THE IT'S ON YEAH, IT'S A BRIEFING ITEM. I'M JUST GETTING DIRECTION FROM. I JUST NEED YOU TO ALL AGREE TO A PARTICULAR I JUST DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT'S AGAINST THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS AT BECAUSE IT WASN'T PUT ON THE AGENDA AS AN ACTIONABLE ITEM. PROJECTION ON ANYTHING. THAT'S A BRIEFING, ADAM. WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TILL IT'S BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL TO PUT ON THE AS A REGULAR. HE'S ASKING FOR CONSENSUS. YES, I NEED I NEED YOU ALL TO EXPRESS AN OPINION AND THEN HAVE A COUPLE. OTHER PEOPLE SAY I AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THAT OPINION SO I CAN GET TO THREE PEOPLE THAT SAY A CERTAIN DIRECTION FOR US HERE SO WE CAN MOVE ON FROM THE ITEM. IF WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE A FORMAL VOTE THAN I NEED SOME OF SOME OF THE REST OF YOU TO 
          [00:25:06]
WEIGH IN ON ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED AND SAY, I AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH ACTUAL PRESENTED BY AT LEAST WE'VE GOT AT LEAST TWO OPINIONS ON THE TABLE. HERE'S ONE OF THE THING IF YOU DON'T MIND, I BELIEVE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG HERE, BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF E. D. C OR C D. C FUNDS. I'M NOT QUITE SURE ANYMORE. IN TERMS OF THE RULES WITH THE D, C AND C D. C. AND THE OTHER THING IS DOCTOR SESSIONS IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT SHE WHAT I SHOWED YOU IN THE FEBRUARY MEETING LAST YEAR, SHE CAN PRESENT DIFFERENT DESIGNS. 
          YOU CAN WORK WITH POLICE AND SHE CAN GRAPHIC DESIGNERS DO IT. THEY COME TO YOU. THEY SAY WHAT YOU WANT. THEY LISTEN TO WHAT YOU KNOW, EXPRESS YOUR IDEAS, AND THEN THEY DO SOMETHING. THIS IS JUST WHAT I ASKED FOR. YES, I AGREE. SO LET ME CLARIFY WHY IT'S NOT FULLY PRESENTED THAT WAY. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE JUST JUMPING TO DESIGNER THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED. 
          I PUT IT ON HERE AS HIRE A GRAPHIC DESIGNER, WHICH WOULD GIVE US A CHANCE TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE A LOOK AT THE MARKET. I AGREE WITH YOU. THE PRICE POINT SEEMS VERY GOOD. AND I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT ANYBODY ELSE WOULD DO IT FOR THAT PRICE, BUT WE NEED TO AT LEAST ASK TO BE FAIR S O. THAT'S ALL. WHAT THAT'S WHY IT'S JUST NOT QUITE ALL THE WAY THERE TO SAY RECOMMENDS GO WITH THIS DESIGNER. WE WILL BRING BACK TO THE DECISION TO GO WITH THAT DESIGNER. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT. DO WE GO WITH THE DESIGNER? DO WE STICK WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT? OR DO WE PICK THE ONE THAT'S THERE, AND I JUST NEED TO PUT THE OTHERS. ARREST SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT OPTION IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, WHICH I PRESUME THAT IS THE DECISION. YOU WANT OPTION. I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS MY POSITION ON. I'D LIKE TO HIRE THE DESIGNER OUT LIKE THE DESIGN SHE CREATES. I'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. I THINK WE CAN FACE IN VEHICLES AS WE SEE FIT IN AS WE CAN AFFORD TO, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO GO WITH THE CONSISTENT DESIGN. FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS A MARKETING DEGREE. YOU NEED A CONSISTENT PRESENTATION OF YOUR TOWN. YOUR LOGO. YOU'RE EVERYTHING OVER EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO, WHETHER IT'S A MUG, A CAR, A LOGO UP HERE EVERYTHING AND HE'S BEEN CONSISTENT SO THAT IT'S RECOGNIZABLE. ALL RIGHT, SO, MISS HARTMAN OPTION ONE POLICE CHIEF OPTION. THREE. UH MR GANZ, OPTION TWO. I NEED TO HEAR FROM THE OTHER THREE OF YOU. RIGHT? STICK WITH THE CURRENT, OKAY? STICK WITH THE EXISTING AND MR MAYOR PRO TEM. I'M SORRY. WHAT WHICH WAS NUMBER THREE. CONTINUE WITH THE EXISTING POLICE VEHICLE GRAPHICS. I THINK WE CAN CONTINUE UNTIL WE GET TO A PLACE THAT WE CAN REACH A CONSENSUS. EVEN THOUGH I HATE TO WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET TO A CONSISTENT MESSAGE, AND I WANT THE POLICE. ALSO BE HAPPY WITH THE FINAL DESIGN. OKAY, SO FOR THE TIME BEING, WE WILL GO WITH THE EXISTING DESIGN. AND WHAT I'M HEARING IS SOME CONSISTENCY AROUND THE IDEA THAT WE WANT TO LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE IN THE FUTURE. WHICH MEANS THAT DO YOU WANT US TO GO DO A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TOGETHER? A COUPLE PROPOSALS FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS AND BRING THAT BACK TO YOU? WOULD THAT BE APPROPRIATE? I THINK THAT'D BE APPROPRIATE. ANY ANY OPPOSITION TO THAT. I ASSUME YOU WANTED BACK. OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOOD. WE'LL DO A LITTLE LOOKING AROUND FOR A GRAPHIC DESIGNER THAT WILL GO WITH THE EXISTING FURNACE. YOU UNDERSTAND? STAY WITH WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN? YES THE NEXT TWO VEHICLES WILL BE WITH THIS. WE'LL ALL BE CONSISTENT AND THEN WILL DO A QUICK OR FP AND MOST LIKELY SELECT THE EXISTING GRAPHIC DESIGNER HISTORIC GRAPHIC AND LET IT PLAY OUT AND APPROPRIATE TIME TO DEVELOP SOMETHING APPROPRIATE. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCIL THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR CORN, THEDC ALMONDS LEASED SPACE. LET'S TRY TO KEEP THIS FOCUSED 
          [3.D. Northlake Commons Lease Space Opportunity]
TONIGHT. YES, SIR. UM OBVIOUSLY OUR POPULATION IN OUR CUSTOMERS ARE INCREASING WITH THAT TO PROVIDE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO STAFF UP. 
          IF YOU'LL NOTICE THAT BOTTOM NUMBER SHOWS THE POPULATION AND CUSTOMERS PER STAFF. WE CONTINUE TO GET MORE EFFICIENT. THAT'S TYPICAL OF GROWTH AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE. BUT ONE JUST SHOW THAT WE'RE NOT NECESSARY. WE'RE NOT JUST ADDING PEOPLE. BECAUSE OF POPULATION. WE'RE ADDING PEOPLE AS POPULATION GROWS AND DEMAND INCREASES FOR SERVICES. UM LOOKING AT ADMINISTRATIVE, YOU KNOW, NON POLICE NON PUBLIC WORKS HERE IS KIND OF A PROJECTION OF THE POSITIONS WILL NEED NEXT. OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE SPACE IN TOWN HALL S O. WE NEED MORE SPACE NORTH OF COMMONS. THE AREA WE'RE IN. WE HAVE WE CURRENTLY RENT TOWN HALL 6000 SQUARE FEET. WE RENT THE POLICE BUILDING, WHICH IS TO THE WEST OF US 5000 SQUARE FEET. BUT THE. THE SPACE IS MOVING QUICKLY. POLICE IN PUBLIC WORKS ARE ARE SET FOR THE NEAR FUTURE. AND YOU KNOW AS YOU AS YOU KNOW. MOST OF 
          [00:30:07]
THOSE POSITIONS, AIRFIELD PERSONNEL, SO THEIR OFFICES, AIR TRUCKS OR PATROL CARS. BUT WE NEED TO ACT TO RESERVE SPACE. HERE IS THE YELLOW BOXES OR WHAT'S AVAILABLE. THE WHITE BOXES OR WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN PRE LEAST. ON DSA. OH, IF YOU CAN SEE, IT'S ROUGHLY JUST EYEBALLING IT. IT'S ABOUT TWO THIRDS FULL, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SPACE. KIND OF IN THE BACK TOWARD THE DAYCARE KIND OF THAT LINES UP WITH TOWN HALL AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE. THE PROPOSAL IS TO LEASE. IT WOULD BE BEHIND OR NORTH OF 7 11. 
          2100 SQUARE FEET. 21 61 WE MOVE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES THERE. UM AWAY FROM TOWN HALL. MUNICIPAL COURT FINANCE. THEY NEED CLOSER PROXIMITY TO ADMINISTRATION AND TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE COUNTERS. THERE WOULD BE THE MONTHLY RENT THE APPROXIMATE FINISH OUT COST FOR THIS NEW SPACE. AND THEN WHEN WE MOVE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OUT. WE WE NET FOUR POSITIONS. FOR SPACES FOR SEEDS IN TOWN HALL, SO THAT ALLOWS US. TO EXPAND WITH A NEW SPACE FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES THAT ALLOWS THEM TO EXPAND, BUT ALL OF THIS, UM NEED FOR NEW SPACE FOR NEW STAFF IS FUNDED FROM THE DEVELOPMENT FROM THE FEES THAT ARE CHARGED TO THIS DEVELOPMENT. BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. DREW COULD YOU JUST COME IN? SO YOU EXPRESSED TO ME THAT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? FROM COUNCIL TONIGHT, IS YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SIGN A LEASE TO HOLD THIS. CAN YOU WEIGH IN ON WHAT THAT COST WOULD BE AND WHAT OBLIGATIONS WE HAVE OUR OR NOT? MAYBE BECAUSE BECAUSE WE LEAST WITH HIM AND IN THE PAST, UH IT WOULD BE ONE MONTH'S RENT. SO $6700. AND YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE OUR DEPOSIT. AND THEN, UM BEGIN WORKING WITH THEM FOR THE DESIGN OF THAT INTERIOR. WE WOULD NOT EXPEND ANY FUNDS UNTIL THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, SO THE COUNCIL COULD SEE THAT BUDGET. AND VERIFY THAT IMPROVE THAT BUDGET IF WE SHE WAS NOT TOO OBVIOUSLY WE'RE IN OUTER SPACE WAY CAN'T. EXPAND STAFF TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE. 
          BUT AND WE'D LOSE OUR DEPOSIT OUR SECURITY DEPOSIT. OKAY, SO THAT'S YOUR CHOICE HERE TONIGHT. WE NEED DIRECTION. TO PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE MONTH'S RENT TO HOLD THE FACILITY UNTIL WE GET THROUGH THE BUDGET CYCLE AND ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO. SO COUNSELORS NEED SOME DIRECTION FROM YOU ON THIS BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THAT IF YOU WANT TO GO THAT DIRECTION OR NOT. TAKE IT THAT THERE IS NO OTHER POSSIBILITY OF A SPACE TO RENT. I AM. THERE'S A COUPLE OF SMALLER SPACES DOWN AT 1 14. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF. THE DENTIST OFFICE IS NEXT TO OLD TOWN HALL. THE PUBLIC WORKS MIGHT HAVE MIGHT HAVE SOME SPACE, BUT MEAN ANSWER A QUESTION DIRECTLY. THERE'S NOT MUCH AROUND HERE. 
          DEFINITELY NONE IN THIS CLOSE A PROXIMITY. DOES THAT? ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COUNSELOR. 
          RECESSION YES, AND I BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IS IT AS A PRACTICALITY WITH IT? TAKE THIS OR WE DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NEARBY. THAT'S CORRECT. UM OCTOBER. 1ST ARE PROBABLY THERE AFTER SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE THEM SIX MONTHS OR SO TO BUILD IT. AND THEN WE'LL WORK WITH THEM ON THE FINISH OUT AND WE GET A WE GET A FINISH OUT ALLOWANCE FROM THEM THAT YOU IT'S ROUGHLY ABOUT 50% OF THE FINISH OUT COST. IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE LEVEL OF FINISH OUT WE NEED WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE IT MUCH AUDIOVISUAL IN THAT OFFICE IS WE'VE HAD OR SECURITY CAMERAS AS WE'VE HAD IN A POLICE DEPARTMENT OR AUDIOVISUAL IS WE'VE HAD IN TOWN HOME. MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVED. WHATEVER. DO THAT. SO I HAD A QUICK QUESTION. SO 
          [00:35:08]
THAT'S BASICALLY ALMOST ABOUT WHAT'S OVER 21 $210,000 A YEAR, RIGHT? I'LL BE PAYING JANE. 
          MORNING NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT ALL THREE OF THEM IF WE TAKE ALL OF OUR RENT, I'VE GOT TWO SPACES RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE ROUGHLY $6700 APIECE. WE HAD A THIRD ONE. THAT'S OVER 18,000. 
          MONTH WE'RE PAYING ON RENT. IT'S OVER 200,000 YEAR. BE PAYING. WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR? FOLDING SPACE. AND PUTTING THAT RENT TOWARD OUR OWN SPACE. IS THERE A PLAN? YEAH, HE'S GETTING BACKGROUND SOUND. OH MICHAEL, DO WE GIVE HIM. I WANT YOU HERE SOON. I MEAN ANYTHING FOR MAY. TESTING. OKAY GOOD EVENING AGAIN. ALL RIGHT, SO WE DO NOT HAVE IDEAS FOR LAND AT THIS POINT OR AN IDEA OF HOW WE WOULD FUND THAT YET. WE DO HAVE CDC CDC WE COULD RELY ON BUT PURCHASE OF LAND OBVIOUSLY GONNA BE VERY EXPENSIVE. IS A COUPLE LOCATIONS IN THE TOWN ALL THROUGHOUT THIS CORRIDOR, BUT NO CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN HAD ABOUT PURCHASING LAND AND BEGINNING. AH BUILD PROJECT. ACTUALLY PROBABLY BACK 2015 2016. WE DID. FACILITY NEED A NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR FACILITIES. AND, UM, WE HAD A DILEMMA. SO. YOU KNOW THIS FIVE YEAR PROJECTION 2025 IS STILL ONLY GETS US ABOUT. HALFWAY THERE. AND SO WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS, AND THIS, THIS WAS FIVE YEARS AGO. WHAT SIZE BUILDING DO WE BUILD? DO WE BUILD A BUILDING TO HANDLE? HALFWAY IN OUR STAFF LEVELS AT THAT POINT OR DO WE BUILD A NEW, ULTIMATE BUILD OUT AND HAVE HALF OF FIRST FACILITY EMPTY AND AT THAT TIME WE HAD OTHER PRESSING NEEDS AS FAR AS WATER AND ROADS, AND WE DIDN'T WE HAD LIMITED DEBT CAPACITY, SO YES, THE GOAL IS TO GET A GET A TOWN HALL ON IT. FINANCES HAVE IT ON TOWN LAND, BUT UH, WE'RE SO EARLY IN OUR GROWTH PROJECTIONS AND TYPICALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE ALL OF YOU SEEN THE TAJ MAHAL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE. THEY'RE CLOSE TO BUILD OUT. SO THAT'S THE TIME WHEN YOU KIND OF DO THAT TROPHY CLUB HAS A BRAND NEW FACILITY. THERE CLOSE TO BUILD OUT NOW THIS IS THIS IS NOT IDEAL AND NUMBER OF TOWNS HAVE DONE IT. WITH THEY MOVED AROUND, I THINK IN COLLEYVILLE, THEY WERE IN A BUILDING MUCH LIKE BUILDING WE'VE USED WHERE PUBLIC IT WORKS IS NOW WE'VE WE'VE USED THAT WE'VE MODIFIED IT. WE'VE ADDED ON BUT IT'S JUST ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WHEN YOU'RE IN THIS THIS GROWTH PATTERN AND IF YOU BUILD NOW, YOU'LL EITHER OVERBILLED OR YOU'RE OUTGROWING IN FIVE YEARS, SO THIS IS NOT IDEAL, BUT LEASING IS GIVES US THE FLEXIBILITY. T O PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. YOU REMEMBER $10 MILLION BEING A NUMBER THAT WE WERE TOLD AND ABOUT 2015. I THINK I THINK SO. THERE WAS THE THERE WAS A BASIC TOWN HALL AND I THINK THE. THE ONE LITTLE BIT MORE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES WAS 12 MILLION. YES, SIR. AS I REMEMBER, WE HAD SOME STICKER SHOCK AT THAT POINT AND DECIDED TO LEASE. NO SOME OF IT BUT NOT ALL OF IT ON. WE'VE DESIGNED THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH MICROPHONES AND, UM, AVAILABLE JURY ROOM AND SO FORTH. SO WE'VE. WE'VE BUILT OUT THIS FOR COURT OF RECORD WHEN WE'RE GONNA GET TO THAT POINT, BUT THAT WAS TRUE. IT INCREASED THE COST, BUT NOT IT WAS A MARGINAL INCREASE. IT WASN'T YOU KNOW, A DOUBLE INCREASE. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. SO. THAT'S IT. J HEY, FOR 
          [00:40:02]
THAT MONEY TO BE GOING TO SOMETHING JUST. WE CAN. WE CAN START THE LAND ACQUISITION PROCESS AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WOULD COST US. THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE FIRST STEP THAT WOULDN'T COST US TO BUILD OUT PRICE YET. WE'RE NOT QUITE AT THAT STAGE. WE CAN. WE CAN ADD THAT TO OUR OUR PLANS FOR THIS YEAR TO START. BESIDES IF YOU LIKE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A TAJ MAHAL. YOU KNOW SOMETHING NICE, SOMETHING WELL BUILT SOMETHING SIMPLE. 
          TASTEFUL YEAH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE'LL GET TO DESIGN BEFORE WE JUST LOOK FOR LAND. 
          THAT'S GONNA BE A BIG ENOUGH DECISION AS IT IS, THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT WE'LL LOOK AT AND DO SOME SOME LOOKING AROUND AND CONVERSATIONS ON THAT GIVEN. DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT OUR CURRENT? THIS CURRENT IDEA? I UNDERSTAND THE POLICE COSTS ARE EXPENSIVE. THAT IS THE REALITY IN FRONT OF US, THOUGH. DO YOU ALL HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT CHOOSING TO CONTINUE WITH THE LEAST FACE IDEA FOR YOU KNOW IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, UM OR. JUST WANT OH, IT'S NOT TO MAKE A CHOICE TONIGHT. DAVID, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO DEFINITELY COME UP WITH A LONGER TERM PLAN TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MOVING AHEAD IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND. YEAH. SPRING TAXPAYER MONEY EFFECTIVELY, BUT IT'S SAME TIME THAT'S PROCESS IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, AND WE PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO GRAB THIS LEASE SPACE TEMPORARILY. I JUST DON'T WANT A FIVE OR 10 YEAR LEASE. OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T WANT SOMETHING THAT'S LITTLE MORE TIMELY. VERY GOOD, OKAY? UM YEAH. I APPRECIATE THE CONFIDENCE COUNCIL HAS BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN LOCATE WE CAN PROBABLY BUY THE PROPERTY IN FINANCE IT IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN BY THE PROPERTY AND FINANCING AND BUILD WITHIN FIVE YEARS, SO WE NEEDED LEAST A FIVE YEAR LEASE. TO GET US THROUGH THAT PROCESS. IT'S CURRENTLY OWNED SOME PROPERTY. 
          WE OWN, UM ABOUT ACRE AND A HALF AT 35 W. AND NORTH OF 1 14. I THINK WE OWN ABOUT AN ACRE NO. HALF AN ACRE. SOUTH OF 1 14. BYE UM, BY THE QUALITY INN. WE OWN THE THREE ACRES THAT PUBLIC WORKS IS ON. BUT WE NEED SOME OF THAT SPACE FOR FUTURE GROUND STORAGE. AND THEN RIGHT BEFORE THE ON FOUR OR SEVEN. WESTBOUND IS BEFORE YOU HEAD INTO THE CURVE. WE OWN, MAYBE AN ACRE TO NEXT TO SOME PROPERTY THAT THE NORTHRIDGE ESTATES H. OKAY, OWNED. SO THOSE ARE OUR PROPERTY HOLDINGS. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY ONE OF THEM IS LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE AH YOU KNOW, FUTURE TOWN HALL FACILITY, BUT YES, WE DO. WE DO ON SOME PROPERTY. ALL RIGHT, SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF COMPONENTS TO THE LONGER TERM HERE, BUT I STILL NEED TO GET US TO A DECISION ON $6700 FOR A LEAST DEPOSIT IF WE WANT TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION, OTHERWISE WE HAVE SOME A LOT OF WORK TO DO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME STAFFING DECISIONS WE HAVE TO MAKE FOR THIS YEAR'S BUDGET IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH WITH GROWTH. SO I NEED I NEED SOME CONSENSUS ON THE LEASE SPACE. OKAY? THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHERS. 
          WORRY GIVING YOU MY OPINION, PLEASE. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THAT GETS ME IN A THREE, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD WITH THAT OPTION, AND THEN WE'LL WE'LL GO FORWARD FROM THERE AND BRING BACK BOTH RESEARCH ON FUTURE TOWN HALL AS WELL AS MAKING TO THE BUDGET. UM, START PLANNING FOR THIS OTHER SPACE BUILD OUT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAN. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, 
          [2. Public Input]
WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO PUBLIC INPUT AND HEAR FROM A NUMBER OF FOLKS TONIGHT. UM LET'S SEE. 
          LET'S GO AHEAD AND HEAR FROM OUR RESIDENTS TONIGHT, PARTICULARLY IF THEY WANT TO RESPOND TO ANY OF THE BRIEFING ITEMS THIS EVENING WELL TO COVER THOSE FIRST. AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO THE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ALL OF THE WASTE PROVIDERS WHO ARE HERE THIS EVENING. I'VE GOT A NUMBER OF FORMS HERE TONIGHT. I'LL JUST GO IN ORDER OF THE ONES I HAVE IN FRONT OF ME, MISS WILLEY AREA HERE THIS EVENING. HI. HE'S COME UP, WE'LL TRY TO KEEP THE THREE MINUTES TONIGHT. LET YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD. GOOD EVENING. GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN WITH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY. MY NAME IS SONIA WILLING AND I HAVE BEEN VOLUNTEERED TO ADDRESS ITEM. OKAY THE SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING SERVICE CONTRACT ON BEHALF OF A 
          [00:45:02]
PARADE. THE FARMS, WHICH EMBARRASSMENT. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS REGARDING THE CONTRACT AND POTENTIAL CONTRACT PROVIDERS WERE SOLICITED COLLECTED BY BILL MOORE, WHO CANNOT BE HERE THIS EVENING. SO I WAS VOLUNTEERED. WE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS REGARDING THE CONTRACTS FIRST, WE RECEIVED COMPLIMENTARY COMMENTS REGARDING THE CURRENT SERVICE PROVIDED BY WASTE CONNECTIONS. OUR COMMUNITY HAS HAD GOOD INTERACTION WITH THEIR EMPLOYEES AND GOOD SERVICE. DID HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE LEAKING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS LEAKING OIL ON THE STREETS. HOWEVER WASTE CONNECTIONS WAS VERY RECEPTIVE AND QUICK TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT CAME OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROMPTLY POWER WASH THE STREETS OF BELIEVE THAT CAME OUT TWICE. PARENT WASHED TWICE TO REMOVE THE OIL RESIDUE THAT WAS DEPOSITED BY THE. NEIGHBORHOOD APPRECIATES THE RESPONSE AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. AT LEAST ONE OTHER RESIDENT EXPRESSED APPRECIATION FOR WRITING REMOVAL SHOW OF INTEREST. AND WAS IMPRESSED BY THEIR PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS. HOWEVER THERE WAS ALSO A CONCERN REGARDING THEM ONLY HAVING THREE YEARS OF SERVICE. THERE IS A STRONG INTEREST IN OUR COMMUNITY AND CONTINUING TO HAVE AUTO PAY ARRANGEMENTS. THERE IS ALSO A STRONG INTEREST IN CONTINUING TO HAVE RECYCLING. FINALLY THE COSTS ARE ALL WITHIN A SMALL RANGE OF EACH OTHER, THEREFORE, WITHOUT COST IS A FACTOR. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS CERTAINLY INTERESTED IN BEST SERVICE, CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN PLAYER RELATIONS AND EQUIPMENT. AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO KEEP UP WITH THE ANTICIPATED TRIPLING OF THE CUSTOMER BASE WITHIN THE CONTRACT HERE. SO I HAVE THIS YOU THINK? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR SAID WELL. I DON'T THINK YOU OF THIS. THANK YOU, COUNSELOR. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU. AND MY NAME IS MICHAEL SUB Y LIBERATED 1 30 TO FLORENCE ROAD IN NORTH LAKE. AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THE HOME RULE CHARTER. I'VE HAD A CHANCE HERE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS TO READ THROUGH THE DOCUMENTS. I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT I WANTED TO EXPRESS TO THE COUNCIL. AZIZ YOU CONSIDER THIS DOCUMENT MOVING FORWARD. I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK TO THE GRAMMATICAL ISSUES WITH THE DOCUMENT. THERE ARE SEVERAL RATHER SIGNIFICANT GRAMMATICAL PROBLEMS IN THE DOCUMENT THAT I THINK WILL BE TO SOME FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT LAWSUITS AGAINST THE TOWN NORTH, LIKE SHOULD THOSE ITEMS END UP HAVING TO BE IMPLEMENTED? WILL BE CHALLENGED UNDER THE LAW. THE TWO ITEMS THAT I REALLY WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE FIRST ONE IS REGARDING THE POLICE CHIEF, I BELIEVE THAT THE POLICE CHIEF SHOULD REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE COUNCIL. I THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE OF INDEPENDENCE RIGHT NOW. THE WAY THE HOME RULE CHARTER READS THE POLICE CHIEF REPORTS TO THE TOWN MANAGER. MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WITH WORKING WITH DIFFERENT CITIES AND THE TIME THAT I WAS MADE OVER THE TOWN OF NORTH LIKE THAT, THAT LEADS TO NOT ONLY A PERCEPTION OF LACK OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. BUT ACTUAL LACK OF INDEPENDENCE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AS YOU LOOK AT THIS CHARTER GOING FORWARD THAT YOU REALLY CONSIDER THAT ISSUE OF THE POLICE CHIEF REPORTING DIRECTLY TO THE COUNCIL. RATHER THAN THE WAY IT'S IN THE DOCUMENT RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS THE POLICE CHIEF REPORTING TO THE CITY MANAGER BEING HIRED BY THE COUNCIL BUT REPORTING TO THE CITY MANAGER? I DO THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE ISSUE GOING FORWARD. I THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THAT. ANOTHER COMPONENT WITH THE DOCUMENT, ANOTHER LARGE COMPONENT HERE IS THAT THERE'S NO DEFINITIONS ASSOCIATING WITH THE TERMINOLOGY AND THE DOCUMENT. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TERMS THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, DETERMINE PEACH MINT, AND I REALIZE THAT THAT'S A POPULAR PHRASE RIGHT NOW. 
          EVERYBODY IF YOU WATCH TELEVISION, BUT IMPEACHMENT HAS VARIOUS DEFINITIONS, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU'RE USING IT. YOU USE THE TERM IMPEACHMENT IN THIS DOCUMENT WITH NO DEFINITION. GO ALONG WITH IT, THE STANDARD DEFINITION OF IMPEACHMENT IS YOU BRING ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER. ALL THAT IS A CHARGE AGAINST THE COUNCIL MEMBER. AT THAT POINT THAT NEEDS TO BE HEARINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE A TRIAL THAT NEEDS TO BE VARIOUS OTHER THINGS. NONE OF THAT IS IN THIS DOCUMENT. NONE OF IT. AND SO WHEN YOU GO OUT OF WORD LIKE IMPEACHMENT IN YOUR DOCUMENT, YOU NEED TO BACK IT UP. YOU NEED A DEFINITION OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE LAST COMPONENT, AND I DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE EVERYBODY'S TIME. THE LAST COMPONENT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. IS THERE A NUMBER OF PLACES IN THE DOCUMENT WHERE TERMS SUCH A SHOULD MAY OR USED WHERE YOU SHOULD BE THE WORD THAT SHOULD BE USED OR SHALL AND MUST. WHEN YOU SAY SHOULD AND MAY YOU OPEN YOURSELVES UP TO 
          [00:50:01]
INTERPRETATION. WHICH, AS WE ALL KNOW, WILL LEAD TO LAWSUITS AGAINST THE TOWN. THAT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM. SO ONCE AGAIN I DON'T WANT IT. THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM AGAINST THE COMMITTEE. I THINK THE COMMITTEE DID THE BEST THEY COULD WITH THE DOCUMENTS THEY HAVE. I THINK IT'S REALLY AN ISSUE OF WE NEED SOME MORE TIME TO GO THROUGH THIS DOCUMENT. 
          IT'S A GOOD DRAFT, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME RIGHT NOW. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND MAYBE SEND IT THROUGH A COUPLE MORE REVISIONS. MAKE SURE WE HAVE DOCUMENT THAT WE WANT TO PUT OUT THERE AS A TOWN CHARTER. AS WE MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. I APPRECIATE IT. JOE MCGREGOR. 
          I'M GRATING ON 21, HIS FAMILY LANE. AND OF COURSE I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE UNCHARTED ALSO. 
          AND WHEN WE STARTED THE FIRST MEETING THEY TALKED TO US ABOUT HOW THIS WAS GONNA BE A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION FOR OUR TOWN. AND OUR CONSTITUTION OF UNITED STATES, WHICH I'M SURE IS WHAT THEY'RE REFERRING TO. HAS A BILL OF RIGHTS THAT PROTECTS PEOPLE FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THIS DOCUMENT HAS ZERO PROTECTION FOR ANY CITIZENS. THAT I CAN TELL YOU, UM YOU'RE THEY CHOSE TO NOT ANY RESTRICTIONS WHATSOEVER ON EMINENT DOMAIN OR ANNEXATION. 
          AND WE DISCUSSED ALL KINDS OF OTHER THINGS TO YOU. AND I COULDN'T GET. ANYBODY RARELY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD VOTE WITH ME. BUT FOR THE MOST PART NOBODY HAD ANY INTEREST IN PROTECTING ANYONE'S RIGHTS. THEY JUST WANTED TO GIVE THE CITY AS MUCH POWER AS POSSIBLE. AND I THINK YOU CAN TELL JUST BY THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS DOCUMENT WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE DOCUMENT BEING INTERPRETED LITERALLY AND FAVOR. OF THE TOWN. AND I THINK THIS THING SHOULD PROTECT THE CITIZENS FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT CONSTITUTION AIR ABOUT IN OUR COUNTRY ANYWAY. MAYBE NOT RUSH ERROR. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO BE NORTH KOREA. RIGHT? YOU KNOW? WE DON'T NEED TO BE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG THINGS. THAT WAS AN ARGUMENT IS WELL, THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE DOES IT. I DON'T CARE HOW EVERYBODY ELSE DOES IT. WE NEED TO BE PROTECT FREEDOM. WE'RE HERE TO BE NORTHLAKE NOT TO BE BROUGHT UP NOT TO BE JUSTIN. UM. AND IF YOU VOTE FOR THIS TONIGHT, THAT WILL BE PERCEIVED WHETHER YOU ARE OR NOT. I KNOW SOME OF YOU MAY JUST SAY, LOOK, LET'S PUT IT UP TO THE PEOPLE. IF YOU VOTE FOR THIS, THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ENDORSEMENT TO THE PEOPLE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT THAT TO COME OUT THAT WAY. YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S AH! LET'S MAKE THE CITY OF NORTH LIKE THE TOWN. THE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT THE PEOPLE PROTECT THE PEOPLE SERVED THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND. THANK YOU. MR MAYOR, MASS SPEAK REAL QUICK. ON OTHER FACT FOR PURPOSES OF OUR PACIFIC PLEASURE. YES SIR. BUT JUST KEEP IT TO THE TO THE FACTS ONLY, SIR. YES, UH, T THE POINT OF FACT. HERE. UM FORTUNATE IT'S NOT UP TO THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT WORDING WITHIN THE CHARTER IS WHAT THEY WISH. OR, UM WISH TO SUPPORT OR NOT? BECAUSE THIS IS MR ACTION MUST GO TO THE VOTERS UNTOUCHED BY COUNSEL COUNSEL IS NOT ALLOWED TO WEIGH IN ON THIS OR ARE THEY ALLOWED TO MAKE CHANGES TO IT BEFORE PRESENTING IT TO IT BECOMES A MINISTERIAL ACTION BECAUSE THE COUNCIL, THE CHARTER COMMISSION FINISH THEIR WORK AND FRIDAYS IT TO COUNSEL SO WILL BECOME MINISTERIAL TONIGHT. THANK YOU. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, YOU FEEL THEY'RE GONNA COMMENT ON WHAT? WHAT I SAID. I'M JUST CITIZENS ATTEND. I SHOULD EVER RESPOND TO RESPOND TO THAT. AND ALL I WANT TO SAY IS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT MINISTERIAL THE REALITY IS THAT THE COUNCIL HAS TO VOTE YES OR NO TO PUT THIS ON HIM AGAIN ON THE BOAT, SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, WE WILL HAVE OUR COUNCIL WEIGH IN ON THAT AND GIVE US OUR OPTIONS THIS EVENING. BUT WE'LL CERTAINLY ASK. THEIR ADVICE IS TO WHAT OPTIONS THE COUNCIL HAS BEFORE THEM. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE STILL IN PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT. AND SO WE'VE GOT FOUR ON THE DOCKET THIS EVENING FROM OUR WASTE PROVIDERS WHO HAVE BID FOR THE RFP. I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND TAKE THESE IN THE ORDER. I HAVE HIM AND STACKED IN FRONT OF ME. WE'LL START WITH JOHN GUSTAFSON. GIVE YOU THREE MINUTES, SIR, TRYING TO TRY TO KEEP IT TO THAT IF YOU COULD PLEASE. ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL.

PUT UP, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY PUT EMPHASIS ON RECRUITING THE BEST PEOPLE. BEST EQUIPMENT. AND AGAIN, I WOULD SAY THIS IS A VERY STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY FOR FRONTIER WASTE.

I UH I WAS READY SAID WE'RE ON OUR FOURTH YEAR SERVICE. SO WE'RE A LITTLE BIT YOUNGER OF A COMPANY AND I GOT TO TELL YOU I WAS AN AIRLINE CAPTAIN. FOR AMERICAN FOR 17 YEARS AND I KNEW THAT I COULD LEAVE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE NOT WATCHING AN AIRLINER AIRPLANE FLY ITSELF. THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST MOVE I'VE EVER MADE. I ONLY REGRET I DIDN'T DO THIS SOONER. SO BEING THE MOST FASCINATING INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD TO ME. WE'RE LEADING THE CHARGE TO REVOLUTIONARY REVOLUTIONIZE THE WASTE IN STRICT ABOUT 14 MONTHS AGO, WE TOOK OVER SIX. PRETTY LARGE CONTRACTS EQUATED TO ABOUT 10,000 HOMES OF FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT. DURING THAT TIME WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. LOWER COMPLAINT CALL VOLUMES BY 95% AND HOW DO WE DO THAT? HOW DO YOU PROVIDE THAT? THAT LEVEL OF SUPERIOR SERVICE WITH OUR PEOPLE. WE HAVE SOME WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT WORK AT RYAN OVER REMOVAL AND IT'S OUR TECHNOLOGY. TRUCKS HAVE AN AVERAGE AGE OF ONE YEAR ACROSS OUR FLEET. THEY'RE VERY YOUNG. THAT LESSENS THE LIKELIHOOD OF TRASHED USE OR HYDRAULIC OR AUTOMOTIVE FLUID HITTING THE STREETS. LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT OUR TECHNOLOGY. WE HAVE SIX PERIMETER CAMERAS AND ONE DRIVER FACING CAMERA AND EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE, INCLUDING OUR PICK UP TRUCKS. THAT ALLOWS US TO CONSTANTLY MONITORING WAY.

COST FOR SERVICE, MAKING SURE THAT THE COST OF LINES TO SERVICE AND CAN THEY ACTUALLY PROVIDE SERVICE AT THIS COST LEVEL. BUT PREDOMINANTLY WHAT I HEARD WAS SERVICE FROM A SERVICES STANDPOINT, AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE NO CHANGE PERSPECTIVE ON D FROM A LOCAL STANDPOINT, THAT THOSE WERE THE THINGS THAT MATTERED MORE TO THEM THAN GETTING ROCK BOTTOM DOLLAR SO THOSE AIR AND I ALSO DID PUT BY EACH PERSON MOST OF THESE FOLKS PICKED A PROVIDER THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN OR MULTIPLE PROVIDERS, AND SO I'VE GIVEN YOU.

          [01:15:01]
THINGS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST HASSLES THAT WE FACE PERSONALLY AS A FAMILY. I KNOW SOME OTHER FAMILIES FACE IS ALL THESE GROCERY BAGS FROM KROGER AND WAL MART ON STUFF HAVE A RECYCLED NUMBER ON AND NUMBER SIX. NUMBER SEVEN. BUT WE'RE TOLD WE CAN'T PUT BAGS. INTO THE RECYCLE BIN. S O A DO ANY OF THESE PROVIDERS ALLOW PLASTIC BAGS WITH THOSE NUMBERS IN. AND SECONDARILY, RICH MAN TOLD BY OUR CURRENT PROVIDER, THOSE TIRE FROM THOSE STYROFOAM STYROFOAM BUT FOOD CONTAINERS ROLL NUMBER FIVE OR SIX OR WHATEVER NUMBER THEY ARE, BUT THEY HAVE NUMBERS ON THAT ARE LEGITIMATE AND SINCE WE'RE MAKING SUCH A LARGE DECISION, I WANT THE EASIEST SOLUTION FOR OUR CITIZENS, WHICH SAYS IF IT'S GOT NUMBER ON IT, IT COULD GO ON THE BED S SO IF ANYBODY CAN SPEAK THAT I KNOW IT'S A BIG QUESTION IF YOU CAN SIMPLIFY THAT MAYOR, PLEASE FEEL FREE. I HOPE THAT CONVEYED THOSE POINTS. OKAY SO SUMMARIZING I DO YOU REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION AND DID A LITTLE DIGGING ON THIS? MAYOR? PRETEND SO THE QUESTION IS PLASTIC BAGS LIKE THE KIND YOU GET FROM A SUPERMARKET OR A STORE. AND THEN STYROFOAM, THE TO BEING VERY SOFT MATERIALS. AS I SAW IN YOUR PACKETS, AND I KNOW THERE'S ONLY FOUR OF YOU HERE, BUT MAYBE BY WAVE OF HANDS. YOU CAN TELL ME IF THESE AIR THESE ARE GOOD TO GO OR NOT. IT SEEMED TO ME THAT BASED ON THE MATERIAL SOFTNESS THAT MOST OF THE PACKETS I READ, IT SEEMED INDICATE THAT THOSE ARE NOT ACCEPTED. IS THAT CORRECT THAT YOU DO NOT ACCEPT PLASTIC BAGS AND STAR PHONE IN THE RECYCLING? YOU TAKE ONE THROUGH SEVEN FOR RHINO, OTHERS? YEAH, ALL THE ALL THE, UM IT'S 95 GOING ON ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THE TRADITIONAL WAIST AND THEN RIGHT AND THEN TO PROVIDERS WERE AT THE 95. GALLON FOR THE RECYCLING E. C. OKAY, SO THERE'S THREE PROVIDERS, OKAY? THE NO SPACE FROM BOSSES, MY WRIST. REPLY DOWN. IN TIME. MATE THOSE OUT. THE COURT. ME. DOWN OF THAT. THE MEN. EAST THE FIRE. THANK YOU. SO MUCH. Z. U US. WELL. OKAY ANYBODY NOT EXCEPT STYROFOAM PLASTIC BAGS. 
          MM HMM. OKAY. SEE THIS? OKAY. WE NEED TO GET THAT OUT TO OUR RESIDENTS AND BECAUSE THERE'S STICKERS ALL OVER OUR STUFF THAT SAY NO GLASS ON OUR CANS, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. ALL RIGHT? YES. SO. SEVEN PLASTIC CALL. NIGHT. COMING. HERE. IN. IN. THAT BAD. AND IT IS. NO HURRY. COLONEL. THIS. BREATH. MM. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO PLASTIC BAGS AND STYROFOAM, FOR THE MOST PART SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S QUITE A FEW OPTIONS FOR THAT MAYOR PRO TEM THAT CLARIFIES LITTLE BIT ON THAT SUBJECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, COUNSELORS. JUST AS AN ASIDE A TOTAL ASIDE. I WAS LISTENING TO THE RADIO YESTERDAY AND I HEARD A STORY ABOUT A YOUNG WOMAN FROM A BELIEVE IT WAS AFRICA. WHO WANTED TO DO SOMETHING WITH ALL THE PLASTIC. REFUSE AND PLASTIC BAGS. SHE'S ALSO AN ENGINEER, AND SHE ENGINEERED A PROCESS BY WHICH YOU CAN MAKE THE ALL THAT PLASTIC, INCLUDING THESE PLASTIC BAGS INTO BUILDING MATERIALS LIKE BRICKS. THAT ARE THERE GREEN BECAUSE THEY'RE USING ALL THIS REFUSE AND THIS WASTE THEY'RE ALSO HIGHLY INSULATING ALL KINDS OF THINGS. SO WE WELCOME STUFF LIKE THAT NORTH LAKE. YOU KNOW TO COME UP WITH THESE BRILLIANT USES FOR THESE BLACK BAGS THAT GET BLOWN BY OUR LOVELY WIND. SO JUST. ALL RIGHT. COUNSELORS NEEDS SOME. YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS TONIGHT. WAY NEED TOE. MAKE A DECISION. I HOPE YOU'RE AT THE POINT WHERE YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH INFORMATION TO DO THAT THIS EVENING, BUT WE CAN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE BASED ON WHAT YOU NEED, BUT EVENTUALLY WE NEED TO COME TO A DECISION. I'M NOT PUSHING YOU THERE YET BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T TALKED A LOT, BUT. GOOD TO HEAR YOUR QUESTIONS. COMMENTS CONCERNS IF YOU WANT TO GO ON THE RECORD IS STATING WHAT WHICH COMPONENTS OF THESE BIDS ARE IMPORTANT TO 
          [01:20:06]
YOU AND MAKING A DECISION IF YOU WANT TO SHARE STATEMENT ON HOW YOU ARE EVALUATING IT, THAT'S ALL FAIR GAME. SO FLORES YEARS, BRO. QUICK QUESTION. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING CLARIFIED TONIGHT. THINK SHOULD GO INTO THIS DOCUMENT THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US DO WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT? OR CAN IT BE NEXT MEETING ON LEE? BECAUSE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE CONTAINERS 95 GALLON BINS VERSUS WHAT IS IT? 65? OKAY BUT ON THE SIDE OF THAT YOU YOU ACCEPT BOXES THAT HAVE BEEN BOUND. OK DO THE OTHER PROVIDERS DO THAT. I'D LIKE TO HAVE AN APPLE STAPLES. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT DOCUMENT. BY THE WAY, THE COMPARISONS. IT REALLY IS GOOD, EH? SO, JOHN, DID YOU DO THAT? THANK YOU. IT'S AN EXCELLENT DOCUMENT. UM. 
          NOTICED HERE THAT WASTE CONNECTIONS THEIR CURRENT HE IS 14 99. SO THEIR PROPOSED ME THEY WENT DOWN TO 13 30 FOR THIS AND ADDED BACK AT IT IN THE HAZARDOUS WASTE OPTION, WHICH, AS YOU CAN SEE RUNS THE GAMUT FROM 80 CENTS $2.5. SO THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL AD. SO, YES, WE'RE GETTING MORE SERVICES AT LOWER COSTS. IS THE BIG OKAY, RIGHT? I GET THAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN STATED LIKE THE AGE OF YOUR FLEET IS SO YOUNG, UM, THAT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER ONE'S JUST SO BECAUSE Y'ALL ALL SOUNDS REALLY GREAT. I MEAN, EVERY ONE OF YOU HAS PRESENTED A GREAT CASE HERE TONIGHT. I SAW YOUR RANA'S PRESENTATION. A COUPLE OF. MEETINGS AGO, AND IT WAS EXCELLENT. I LOVE THE IDEA OF ALL OF THE TECHNOLOGY, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT. SOME OF THE OTHER ONES ALSO HAVE CAMERAS AND ALSO TAKE PICTURES AND ALSO DO THAT, BUT. IF YOU WILL EXPLAIN TO ME THE DIFFERENCE IN THE GPS TRACKING SOFTWARE OR THE SOFTWARE THAT YOU USE. IS THERE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN IT IS ONE BETTER THAN ANOTHER. OH, OKAY, I'LL SEE HOW WE CAN DO THIS STAFF. COULD YOU WEIGH IN? I DON'T WANT TO GO AND YOU KNOW MINUTES FROM EVERYBODY ON EACH INDIVIDUAL TOPIC. AND EVALUATION. THE RFP S WILL TRY, BUT WE'RE NOT EXPERTS IN TRASH TRACKING SOFTWARE. WAIT THEIR WORK FOR, ISN'T IT WASN'T ON THEIR RESUMES PRESENTLY. OKAY ALL RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M ASKING FOR IS A LITTLE. GIVE US GIVE US IT. WAS THERE ANYTHING DISTINCTIVE ABOUT ANY OF THESE, AND WE CAN VALIDATE THAT, BUT. ANYTHING DISTINCTIVE. I WANT TO SEE A LOT OF THEM ALL FROM THE SAME, ROUGHLY THE SAME SERVICES ACROSS THE BOARD, SO LIKE YOU MENTIONED ALREADY, A LOT OF THEM HAD TRACKING. THE PICTURES OR VIDEO. I'M JACKING TRUCKS, A LOT OF HAD THE APS TOMB OR INTERFACING THE CUSTOMERS. SOMETHING. PUT IT THIS WAY I CAN SEE FROM THE DATA THAT'S HERE. AND THIS IS COLD FROM THE ART OF PEACE. THEY ALL HAVE A DIFFERENT FEATURES AVAILABLE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA. AND FOR THE WEB PAGE, WHETHER IT'S A UNIQUE WEB PAGE FOR THE TOWN, OR IT'S A SUBSET OF ANOTHER ONE. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM READING THROUGH THESE IS THAT THEY ALL HAVE PROOF OF SERVICE. BUT IS THAT NECESSARILY AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY? SO YOU? YOU MADE A DISTINCTION THAT YOUR DASHBOARD IS AVAILABLE. WHAT DID YOU SEE IN THE OTHER ARE OF PEACE, AND I'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO TELL ME IF YOU KNOW IF YOU AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT, BUT IS THAT AVAILABILITY OF THAT? TRACKING THOSE PICTURES OF VIDEO AVAILABLE ACROSS THE BOARD NOW? I DON'T THINK WE'VE USED THAT. WITH OUR CURRENT PROVIDER AT THIS. I DON'T THINK WE'VE BEEN CONSUMING AT THIS POINT, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVE IT AND THIS MIGHT BE GETTING INTO SOME MINUTIA HERE. BUT YOU KNOW, LIKE THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GAME CAMERAS IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING GAME ACROSS YOUR PROPERTY, YOU GET A REAL BRAINY IMAGE VERSUS A REALLY CLEAR IMAGES THAT SOMETHING THAT Z EVEN CONSIDERED. I DON'T KNOW. 
          AND I WOULD ADD THAT DO MATRIX OR AN EVALUATION OF THE CAMERAS SPENT YES. YEAH. FIRST WHICH ONE IS IT THIS? I DON'T KNOW MAFIA. MAYBE I CAN SAY IT THIS WAY. THEY'RE GOING INTERJECT. I MEAN, THERE IS LOTS OF INFORMATION OUT THERE. UM PROBABLY WAY MORE THAN WE HAVE THE STAFF TO ANALYZE. WE S SO WE'RE REALLY BUILT TO BE CONSUMERS. OF ALL THESE IMAGES. 
          I IMAGINE THE DATA THAT IT REQUIRED TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THESE IS JUST INCREDIBLE. AND THE NUMBER OF EYES THAT THESE CONTRACTORS HAVE TO DO THAT. SO WHILE THIS IS GREAT TECHNOLOGY. 
          I YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE OPERATIONALLY REVIEW ALL THIS STUFF SO. BUT ANYWAY THERE? YEAH, THERE'S THAT, JOHN SAID. THEY ALL HAVE THEIR I'LL HAVE THEIR TRACK. 
          THEY ALL HAVE WAYS FOR US TO CHECK IN ON THEM. THAT'S USUALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS WE PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL AND SAY THERE'S A PROBLEM IN THE CONTRACTOR TAKES CARE OF IT. SO 
          [01:25:06]
HERE. HERE'S WHERE I'M GOING. SO LET'S TRYING TO SUMMARIZE THE EXISTENCE OF TECHNOLOGY FROM AN OPERATIONAL CONSUMER STANDPOINT. I THINK I SAW TWO SOLUTIONS AND MAYBE ALL OF YOU HAD THE SAME THING AND AGAIN, I'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN ON THIS. IT APPEARS AS IF YOU'VE ALL GOT CAMERAS OR VIDEO OF SOME KIND. AND TO VARYING DEGREES OF EFFICACY. BUT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE SAME PURPOSE YOU CAN SEE FROM A TRACKING STANDPOINT THAT THE ROUTES WHERE THE ROUTES ARE WHAT'S BEING DONE EITHER. HAVE THAT YOURSELVES OR YOU PROVIDE THAT TO THE TOWN TO BE ABLE TO SEE IF THERE'S A MISS, PICK UP WE CAN VALIDATE IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU'RE TRACKING YOU RELEASED ALLOWED EXPOSED US TO IT AND WHAT I SAW WAS MAYBE THERE'S A DIFFERENTIATOR BETWEEN THOSE THAT ALLOW THAT TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE CONSUMER. VERSUS JUST THE TOWN OR TO YOUR TO YOUR COMPANY. CAN YOU GUYS JUST WEIGH IN? AND LIKE 10 SECONDS? WHAT LEVEL YOU SAID YOU HAVE IT AVAILABLE TO THE CONSUMER. TO SEE THE VIDEO. YOU SO YOU DON'T DO IT, OKAY? FOR THE TOWN. OKAY TO THE TOWN ONLY. ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS. WAS EXPLAIN TODAY. SOME WILL BE. PRESIDENT SURE, WHERE THEIR LEADER. RIGHT? HERE'S OUR TRUMP RIGHT IN LINE. SO YOU HAVE THE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF PICKUP OR WHETHER THEY MADE A MASK OR SOMETHING. OKAY DID YOU GUYS WENT AWAY AND GOOD? HMM. YEAH. WHATEVER THEY MIGHT BE TAKING ON FUEL. 
          YEAH. TRANSITION. GUYS PERSONALLY. ARTIST FROM BOSTON. OKAY? ANYTHING YOU WANNA ADD? HMM. YEAH. 
          IS THE PROCESSION. AND YES. DO THE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY? OKAY, SO. NOT TO OVERSIMPLIFY, BUT YOU ALL HAVE THE SAME CAPABILITIES TO PROVE PICKUPS TO TRACK SOME SOME THINGS INTO VARYING DEGREES. YOU'VE GOT SOME DIFFERENTIATORS ON PERHAPS THE QUALITY OF THE AVAILABILITY OF IT. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE MAKING SOME POINTS THERE. BUT IN GENERAL, YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PROVE. AND TO TRACK AND TO EXPOSE US TO SOME FORM OF PROOF THAT ALLOWS US TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND HOW YOU'RE SERVING OUR CUSTOMERS. 
          THAT SIMPLIFY IT, OKAY? ALL RIGHT, SO COUNSELORS BACK TO YOU, UM, WE CAN CONTINUE FOR A LITTLE BIT HERE. UM I THINK MISS HARDIMAN STARTED TO PUT ON THE TABLE, BUT YOU KNOW, AND OFFERED TOL TO RECONVENE THIS CONVERSATION. IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TO MAKE A DECISION, WHAT'S OUR TIMETABLE? MR CORN ON MAKING A DECISION? APRIL 1ST IS WHEN OUR MARCH 31ST IS WHEN OUR CURRENT CONTRACT EXPIRES. WE HAVE A PRETTY TIGHT TRANSITION WEAKEN. UM TALK TO OUR CURRENT CONTRACTOR TO SEE WE CAN GO MONTH TO MONTH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CHARGES ARE ON THAT, BUT WE APOLOGIZE. THIS IS THIS IS A PRETTY TIGHT TURN AROUND. WE'VE TALKED TO ALL THE PROVIDERS THEY THINK THEY BELIEVE THEY CAN MEET THE TURNAROUND TIME IF THEY'RE GIVEN TIME NOW, A DELAY. WOULD WOULD. WE NEED TO PUSH THINGS OUT, BUT WE'LL TALK WITH OUR CURRENT CONTRACTOR. SEE IF WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT. YEAH. GOOD. YEAH. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. SO 
          [01:30:13]
THERE YOU HAVE IT. COUNSELORS. BUT WE'RE OBVIOUSLY WANTING TOL MAKE A DECISION HERE. BUT RIGHT MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION SO ACTS, ALL OF YOU. WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE THE ROLE MUST HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS. HMM. DONNA'S SPEAKING AS A CUSTOM, BUT. MR MAYOR. YES. UM IS COULD YOU WAS THERE ANYTHING BREAK GAVE RYAN I CAN'T REMEMBER. GANZ WAS COMMENTING. HE WE JUST DON'T HAVE HIS MIC UP. SORRY ABOUT THAT. MY APOLOGIES, MR GANZ. RIGHT NOW, IT'S ALL RIGHT. I'M SORRY. UM OUR CURRENT PROVIDER. I MEAN, IPADS STACKS OF BRUSH. THOSE AT THE STREET. THING.

I THINK THERE'S ONE DAY THEY. NOTICE ALL THE RECYCLED BARRELS RIGHT ON OUR STREET, SO THEY MUST HAVE MISSED IT. FOR SOME ODD REASON I CALLED UP AND THEY WERE OUT WITHIN THE HOUR. SO YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING KEEP IN MIND. UM. BASED ON I THINK THE HISTORY I'M LEANING TOWARDS. STAYING WITH OUR CURRENT PROVIDER. I DON'T KNOW HOW OTHERS FEEL ABOUT IT. BUT THAT WOULD BE MY POSITION RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT. THANKS SIR. MAYOR PRO TEM YOU WERE GONNA WEIGH IN. HUH? YEAH, I'M TRYING TO START A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION HERE, AND IT MIGHT HELP SOME OF THE OTHER COUNSELORS AS WELL. WAS THERE ANY KEY DIFFERENTIATIONS FOR THIS? HAZARDOUS WASTE IS THERE A VISIT SCHEDULED ORDERS THAT YOU CALL IT IN, OR WORDS. 
          THANK YOU. DIFFERENTIATION SHE'S DIFFERENT AND SHAKERS THERE. I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO GET THROUGH ALL FIVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HAZARDOUS WASTE SOLUTION WAS, BUT IN A COUPLE OF CASES, I BELIEVE YOU'RE USING HHS AS A SUBCONTRACTOR. W H H W I'M SORRY, WHICH WE HAD TALKED ABOUT BEFORE INDEPENDENT OPTION. JOHN T. OTHER PROVIDERS. DO THEY HAVE? WHAT? WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS OPTIONS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE? SERVICE YEAH, SO WHEN THE AR FI WE ASKED SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM TO PROVIDE AN OPTION FOR PICKING UP THE RESIDENT'S HOME OR PROVIDING SOME SORT OF MONTHLY PICKUP MATTER, LOCATION. I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I BELIEVE ALL THEM ARE WILLING TO PICK UP FROM RESIDENTS HOME. AND THE NUMBER OF THEM ARE GOING TO BELIEVE SUBCONTRACT OUT THAT PROCESS. ALSO THERE'S SEVERAL THAT OFFERED. TO DO KIND OF A MONTHLY REGIONAL PICK UP TIME. THUMB AHEAD OF REMEMBER EXACTLY WHICH ONES THOSE ARE, BUT I CAN FIND OUT WE'RE GONNA GET YOU RIGHT NOW. NO IT'S OKAY. WE DON'T GET TO DETAIL THE NUANCING IT BUT I BELIEVE THE AGREE IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM WHAT I REMEMBER THAT THEY BOTH HAD BOTH OPTIONS. BUT THE. THE CURBSIDE PICKUP SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE MORE ATTRACTIVE. AND I DO ALL OFF FOR THAT. JUST THAT JUST SORT OF MAKE SURE DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING. WAS ANYBODY IN THE ROOM SAID. IF IT SAYS ONE THROUGH SEVEN. IT'S BEEN ON THERE. THEY WILL NOT TAKE SOMETHING THAT'S PRINTED PLASTIC. THERE ANYBODY THAT WON'T TAKE ANYTHING AND 137, BECAUSE, LIKE SAID, SOME OF THOSE STYROFOAM THROUGH CONTENTION WE'LL TRY TO DO IS ELIMINATE PROCESS OF CONTAMINATION RATE PEOPLE VERY CONCERNED LAST TIME A CONTAMINATED LOADS. AND IF IT'S BASICALLY IF IT HAS A TRIANGLE AND NUMBER IF THERE'S A BODY ON THIS LIST DOESN'T TAKE IT. THAT WOULD CONCERN ME SLIGHTLY. I'M NOT SAYING SPENT DISQUALIFY THAT I JUST I NEED TO KNOW THAT IS A KEY FACTOR. SO WE TALKED TO HER CONSTITUENTS. OKAY BUT ANYWAY, THE TIMING YOU'RE TRYING TO DO THIS? ANYWAY. OKAY?

CONSIDERATION HARVEST IS SUBJECT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AND THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF OPEN SPACE. BUT THERE IS NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPEN SPACE LINES. IT'S JUST AN OVERALL REQUIREMENT OF A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE SOMETIME WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT WAS DONE BY CONTRACT. SO THE TOWN ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH THEM AND SOMEONE NEGOTIATED. HOW MUCH OPEN SPACE THERE SHOULD BE. YES, IT WAS IN THE AGREEMENT. OKAY. I'M JUST WONDERING WHY MORE WASN'T DONE BECAUSE THERE'S SO LITTLE OPEN SPACE. REQUIREMENTS 13.5% I BELIEVE. COUNSELOR HARDMAN, WERE YOU WANTING THERE TO BE THAT EXACT PROPORTION AND EVERY PLANT BECAUSE THE PLANT IS KIND OF A SNAPSHOT AND NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT. ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT HAS TO HAVE THAT PERCENTAGE, BUT DEPENDING ON. WHICH LOTS AND WHICH ARE BEING PLANTED IT IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE THAT PROPORTION. MM.

L THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WE'RE GOING TOL THIS GUS ITEM IN. 
          ACTUALLY I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SOME SOME INSTRUCTIONS FOR US OR SOME ADVICE ON A COUPLE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT. COULD YOU SUMMARIZE? YES, PLEASE. SURE SURE. ALRIGHT GUYS, ACTUALLY, SO ITEM N IS YOUR ELECTION ORDER CALLING THE SPECIAL ELECTION FOR THE CHARTER? THE CHARTER ELECTION ON WHETHER TO GO HOME RULE OR NOT. IT IS ALSO A CONTINGENT ELECTION FOR A NEW PLACE SIX TO BE ADDED TO THE COUNCIL. IF THE CHARTER PASSES, SOMEONE WILL WILL TAKE THAT PLACE, SIX SEAT IF THE CHARTER DOES NOT PASS THAT IT'S CONTINGENT ON PASSAGE THAN THAT PLACE OBVIOUSLY WILL NOT BE ADDED TO COUNSEL. UM THE CHAPTER NINE REQUIRES YOU AS THE GOVERNING BODY TO SUBMIT THE CHARTER AS PREPARED BY THE COMMISSION TO THE VOTERS OF THE TOWN, SO YOU DON'T HAVE AN OPTION TONIGHT. YOU'RE REQUIRED BY BY CHAPTER NINE. YOU SUBMIT THE VERSION THAT THE COMMISSION SUBMITTED TO YOU TO THE VOTERS AS DRAFTED BY AS SUBMITTED TO YOU BY THE COMMISSION AND THE STATUTE SAYS IT USES THE LANGUAGE SHALL IT'S A MINISTERIAL DUTY. AT THIS POINT, YOU'RE REQUIRED TO CALL THE ELECTION. FOR THE CHARTER TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS ON MAY 1ST. COULD YOU QUOTE THE ENTIRE. STATUTE I MEAN, WHAT'S THE NUMBER OF THE STATUTE? IT'S SECTION 9.0. THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. OKAY, THEN I HAVE SOME LEGAL QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT THIS MASK. THOSE NOW MAYOR. OKAY, SO SOME LEGAL QUESTIONS THAT I DON'T WANT TO ASK. DID THIS COMMISSION. HAVE TO BE PRIVATE IN ORDER TO DRAFT THE CHARTER. DID NOT HAVE TO BE PRIVATE NOW. OKAY, SO IT COULD HAVE BEEN OPEN TO ALL CITIZENS OF NORTH LIKE IT COULD HAVE BEEN OPEN WITHOUT COMMON. IT COULD HAVE BEEN OPEN WITH COMMENT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN. YOU MEAN THE MAKEUP OF THE COMMISSION OR THE MEETINGS? MAKEUP OF THE COMMISSION WAS WAS SET BY THE MAYOR. AND CHAPTER NINE ALSO COVERED ALSO GOVERNS THE MAKEUP OF THE FIRST CHARTER COMMISSION. THEN THE MEETING'S THAT'S AND THEN THE MEETING'S CHAPTER NINE DOES NOT REQUIRE THE MEETINGS TO BE OPEN. AND UM, THE COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL IF I RECALL, DETERMINED NOT TO REQUIRE THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT, UM, TO APPLY TO THE COMMISSION, RIGHT? IT DIDN'T. I DIDN'T SAY THAT IT HAD TO BE OPEN, BUT IT DID IT. 
          PROHIBIT AN OPEN MEETING. DID NOT. AS I SAID BEFORE, IT DID NOT OKAY. I'LL GO IN NATIONAL QUESTIONS BECAUSE I'VE GOT A LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO GO OVER WITH THIS AND I KNOW IT DOESN'T PLEASE YOU COUNCIL MEMBER GANZ, BUT I WENT THROUGH THIS WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB AND HAVE COMMENTS THAT IF YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR THEM, I'D LIKE TO GIVE THEM. ALL RIGHT, WAS THERE BUT THERE WAS ONE MORE THING THAT YOU WERE GONNA ADVISE US ON RELATED TO THIS. 
          DID WE MISS ANYTHING? UM FILING PERIOD. SO FOR THE PLACE SIX. THE FILING PERIOD WILL OPEN TOMORROW AND IT WILL END MARCH 1ST. SO THERE'S TIME FOR FOLKS TO SIGN UP FOR THAT CONTINGENT 
          [02:00:03]
PLACE SIX. SPOT. OKAY? TOMORROW'S THE FIRST DAY TO SIGN UP FOR PLACE SIX. LAST DAY IS MARCH 1. THE TIMING. OF THE FILING OF THIS, SO WE'RE WE HAVE TO DO IT TONIGHT. YOU HAVE TO DO IT TONIGHT. CORRECT THE DEADLINE TO CALL THE ELECTION, BOTH THE GENERAL ELECTION FOR MAYOR. PLACE FOREIGN PLACE FIVE. IS TOMORROW, FEBRUARY 12TH SO AND DEADLINE ALSO TO CALL THIS SPECIAL ELECTION IS TOMORROW FEBRUARY, 12, SO IT'S GOT TO BE DONE TONIGHT. AND THE COMMISSION. THE ACT BY WHICH WE'RE REQUIRED TO ACT IS BECAUSE OF THAT THEY DID TO CERTIFY IT TO US. WHAT ACT IS IT THAT THEY CERTIFIED TO US? THEY SUBMITTED THE CHARTER TO THE COUNCIL. AND SO THAT DOCUMENT TRIGGER'S UNDER 9.3. THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE GOVERNING BODY SHALL CALL THE ELECTION ON THAT CHARTER DOCUMENT SO THAT VOTED SUBMITTED WHAT ACTION THAT THEY TAKE TO OFFICIALLY PASS IT TO US THAT WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THEY ALL THEY PROVED THE DOCUMENT. EACH SIGNED OFF. I BELIEVE, ALTHOUGH DREW THE EXCEPTION OF ONE AND YES, SATURDAY AT THE AT THE ZOOM MEETING, THEY ALL ALL VOTED TO SUBMIT THAT VERSION TO THE TO THE COUNCIL. IS THERE A VOTE REQUIREMENT OR SON OFF REQUIREMENT? DOES IT HAVE TO BE UNANIMOUS? DOES THAT TO BE THREE QUARTERS? NOTHING. NO. IF THEY HAVE ANY LEVEL THRESHOLD THAT THEY REQUIRED OF THEMSELVES TO PASS IT. I UNDERSTAND, BUT THE DAY SAID ANYTHING AT THE OUTSIDE. THAT'S IT. 60 75% I JUST HAD TO BE A MAJORITY. OKAY? AND CENSUS AND MAYBE MAYOR PRO TEM CAN CAN ANSWER THAT. BUT TYPICALLY, IT WAS A. LARGE CONSENSUS IS HOW HE RAN THAT. MICROPHONE. THROUGH MICROPHONE. WAS FOUR OR LESS NAYSAYERS, SO WE TOOK A PRETTY MUCH WE DO ANYWAY. WE CALL SUPER MAJORITY ON ALL TOPICS. I DON'T THINK THAT ACTUALLY, YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY TOPIC LEFT THAT HAD WESTON. ARE MORE THAN 43 OR FOUR PEOPLE AGAINST. AGREE. 
          OKAY. IT WAS A VERY STRONG MAJORITY IN THE SIGNATURE PAGE WAS LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT WAS A REQUEST OF MINE TO GIVE CREDIT. AND, UM. THEM TO THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED DO THIS, KNOCKING A RECOGNITION OF THEIR WORK TO PLEASE IN IT TO COUNSEL ACTUALLY PUT THEIR NAMES ON IT SINCE THE STUDIO CONSTITUTION. THINK SIGNATURE BASIS, NOT LEGAL REQUIREMENT OF THE DOCUMENT. OKAY. THANK YOU, BRIAN. ANY OTHER ADVICE? YEAH. COURSE. ALL RIGHT COUNSEL IN THIS YEAR, IT'S YOUR FLOOR. WHEN THIS COUNCIL IS CONVENED JUST A QUICK QUESTION WAS TERRY BLODGETT RECOMMENDED FOR REED. HE LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY WROTE THE BOOK ON DRAFTING YOUR CHARTER. THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT. IN NORTH LIKES HISTORY. IT'S AN EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY PRE READING WAS RECOMMENDED OR REQUIRED. I DON'T THINK HE WAS REQUIRED, BUT WAS ANY RECOMMENDED. I APPROACHED DR BLODGETT PERIL BUDGET AND HE WAS, UM HE'S IN FULL RETIREMENT NOW, AND HE, UM. WE ASKED TO MAYBE HELP US AND HE DECLINED. OKAY. I SPOKE WITH AN ATTORNEY ON DON'T KNOW THAT. NO THAT FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK THE COMMISSION MEMBERS. I KNOW YOU ALL DID A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK. I KNOW YOU DID. I SPOKE TO MY REPRESENTATIVE AND HE SAID EVERYBODY WAS DIGGING INTO THIS. I SPOKE TO BRIAN ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID EVERYBODY WAS TRYING VERY, VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT. UM, I THINK FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THIS HAS BEEN RUSHED. I THINK A LOT WAS ASKED OF THIS COMMISSION AND I THINK IT WAS RUSHED AS EVIDENCE BY SOME OF THE WAYS THAT IT WAS WRITTEN AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I'LL ADDRESS HERE IN JUST A MINUTE. UM SPOKE WITH ATTORNEY WITH TML. ASKED IF I COULD QUOTE HIM, HE SAID. ABSOLUTELY. 
          SAW QUOTE HIM IN JUST A MINUTE. I WAS TOLD THAT SOME BORROWING WENT ON FROM OTHER CHARTERS. 
          OKAY, SO YOU LOOKED AT OTHER CHARTERS. YOU YOU BORROWED FROM OTHER CHARTERS. WHATEVER THIS ATTORNEY NAMES, WILL TREVINO WITH THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE, HE SAID, JUST BECAUSE ANOTHER CITY IS DOING IT DOES NOT MAKE IT VALID OR WRITE BAD CHARTERS GET BORROWED ALL THE 
          [02:05:01]
TIME. HEY. HEY, HE RECOMMENDED TERRY BLOODS. IT IS WELL, TERRIBLE, AJIT. SO. JUST A QUESTION ON GRAMMARS THEIR REASONS. THE OXFORD COMMON WASN'T USED TO WROTE. THIS WAS THAT YOU ACTUALLY DID I DRAFTED IT? IS THERE A REASON YOU DID NOT THAT YOU USE THE OXFORD COMMA DIDN'T SOME PLACES. IT'S YOU SOME PLACES IT ISN'T. CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE? AND LISTING THE PENULTIMATE BOTTOM IN THE LIST RECEIVES A COMMA. NO, I UNDERSTAND WHAT OXFAM COMMENT IS, CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE IN? OH, SURE, SURE, SURE, SURE. LISTING THE COMMAS LEFT OUT ON THE FINAL ITEM, EXCEPT FOR IN A COUPLE YEAH. AGE 11. THE ANSWER. 
          SUBSECTION C 4.11. OKAY, SO ALL ORDINANCES RESOLUTIONS UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY STATE LAW COMMA, THIS CHARTER COMMA. THE ORDINANCE ITSELF SHALL BE EFFECTIVE. THAT COULD USE A COMMA RIGHT THERE BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S SET OFF. IT SETS OFF THE PHRASE OR THE ORDNANCE ITSELF SHALL BE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE IT'S REFERRING BACK TO THE ATOMS THAT ARE LISTED. THERE SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ON THE PASSENGER ADOPTION OF THE REQUIRED MAJORITY. THE COUNCIL EVERY ORDINANCE RESOLUTION. COMMA THERE. THERE'S AN EXAMPLE RIGHT THERE OR MOTION. SO OTHER RESOLUTION OR MOTION OR TOGETHER OR THEY'RE LISTED. 
          THEY'RE AS LISTING ADAMS SO DON'T CAN'T TELL THERE BECAUSE IT'S NOT CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT, YOU SAID. I'M SAYING. I DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR EXAMPLE THERE. 
          YOU'RE ASKING FOR A COMMA AFTER ITSELF. EVERY ORDINANCE COMMA, YOU'RE YOU'RE ENTERING A LIST HERE. ORDINANCE RESOLUTION OR MOTION. OKAY YOU'RE LISTENING. ADAM DROPPED THERE. EVERY ORDINANCE COMMA RESOLUTION, COMMA OR MOTION, OR ARE YOU INTENDING TO DO RESOLUTION OR MOTION TOGETHER, INTENDING THOSE TO BE GROUPED? NO. YOU'RE ON THE SECOND SENTENCE. EVERY ORDINANCE RESOLUTION OR MOTION THAT'S CORRECT. RIGHT SO IF YOU'RE INTENDING TO LIST THOSE IT COMES OFF DIFFERENTLY, AND I'M TALKING SPECIFICALLY, IN A LEGAL SENSE. I UNDERSTAND. I'VE READ ENOUGH CONTRACTS. I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY, BUT I'VE READ ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT COMMA PLACEMENT MATTERS AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT. VASTLY CHANGES THIS, BUT IT'S THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT. SO DID YOU INTEND FOR THAT? TO HAVE A COME OR NOT HAVE A COMMA A I SHALL REQUIRE ON FINAL PASSAGE. APPLIES TO EVERY ORDINANCE RESOLUTION OR MOTION AS DRAFTED. 
          THAT'S WHAT THAT LANGUAGE MEANS. RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND WHAT HER FIRST BACK TO YOU'RE MISSING. EVERY ORDINANCE COMMA RESOLUTION COMMA OR MOTION. YOU'RE MISSING THE COMMA AFTER RESOLUTION, WHICH THEN PAIRS UP RESOLUTION AND MOTION TOGETHER. YOU SEE, I'M SAYING. TRYING TO GET TO DETAIL WITH JUST ONE WHAT ANSWER DID YOU INTEND TO USE? OFFICER KAMEN NOT YEAH. IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE MEANING OF THAT SENTENCE. SHALL REQUIRE ON FINAL PASSAGE APPLIES TO EACH OF THOSE ITEMS. EACH OF THOSE WORDS. THAT'S WHAT THE SENTENCE MEANS FAN. IT REVERSED BACK TO HIM. OUT OF 10. THAT'S ALL. THAT'S ALL ONE TOGETHER. IF YOU DIDN'T IT READS EVERY ORDINANCE RESOLUTION SHELTER FAR ON FINAL PASSAGE, THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE MAJORITY FOR ME COUNT. I INTENDED FOR SHALL REQUIRE ON FINAL PASSAGE TO APPLY TO EVERY ORDINANCE, RESOLUTION OR MOTION AS IT'S DRAFTED. YEAH. AS IT'S DRAFTED, THERE'S AN OR THEY'RE CORRECT. INSTEAD GO THROUGH EVERY ONE OF THESE. WHAT WAS YOUR I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE LISTENING. THE INTENT IS FOR 
          [02:10:09]
THE CLAUSE THAT BEGINS SHALL REQUIRE ON FINAL PASSAGE TO THE END OF THE SENTENCE APPLIES TO EVERY ORDINANCE, RESOLUTION OR MOTION EXACTLY, AS IT'S STATED. IS IT WHEN YOU USE THE CONVENTION WAR? IT MEANS. DON'T ALL. REFERRING BACK. OKAY? ONCE ONE SECOND, DO YOU ARE YOU COMFORTABLE ENTERTAINING HIS MOTION THAT YOU DO HAVE THE FLOOR. HIS QUESTION. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. WE HAVE TO SUBMIT IT. YES. THAT'S WHAT THE LAW SAYS. WE CAN'T CHANGE IT. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. BUT THIS IS AN OPEN FORM. BUT THIS IS AN OPEN FORM. THIS IS WHERE THESE THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DISCUSSED. THAT'S WHAT THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT TELLS US IS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE AN OPEN FORUM WHERE THESE THINGS WERE DISCUSSED. NOT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. NOT ANYTHING ELSE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT WAS DRAFTED A CERTAIN WAY. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DIFFICULT. I'M TRYING TO GET ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS, OKAY? I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION. FIRST THING THAT WAS ADDRESSED WITH THE POWER TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY INSIDE. GRATEFUL FOR BURGER STANDING UP THERE AND SAYING, WHERE IS THE BILL OF RIGHTS? AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. YEAH. WHAT. NEVER YOU USE THE CONDEMNATION AUTHORITY, WHICH IS STATE CONDEMNATION AUTHORITY, WHICH YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS. I'M SURE ASHLEY IS THAT YOU CAN CONDEMNED FOR LAUNDRY LIST OF REASONS AND THEN FOR ANYTHING THAT THE MUNICIPALITY DEEMS NECESSARY. IS THAT ROUGHLY CORRECT. SO THAT IN MY OPINION, AND I'VE SPOKEN TO TAN PARKER ABOUT THIS, I'VE SPOKEN TOO MUCH DIFFERENT PEOPLE ABOUT THIS JANE NELSON. THAT'S OVERREACHING. MY OPINION, I THINK IN THE TOWN OF NORTH LIKE WHICH OUR FOUNDING WAS WE INTENDED TO BE DIFFERENT. WE DIDN'T INTEND TO BE LIKE EVERY OTHER TOWN AROUND THERE WAS TO LIMIT CONDEMNATION. EMINENT DOMAIN AUTHORITY SO THAT IDEA RIGHT THERE THAT YOU CAN CONDEMN FOR ANY REASON. IS NOT PROTECTING THE CITIZENS. IN MY OPINION, IT JUST DOESN'T PROTECT. DOESN'T PROTECT OUR PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. AND IF YOU'LL LOOK AT THE LAST SENTENCE OF SECTION TO POINT OUT TO THE COMMISSION DID TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT IN EIGHT. THEY DISCUSSED THIS THOROUGHLY. AND THAT SENTENCE WAS ADDED AN AFFIRMATIVE 3/4 VOTE OF THE ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP OF THE COUNCIL'S REQUIRED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HIM THAT DOMAIN THAT'S A HIGHER, HIGHER STANDARD THAT'S NOT REQUIRED. 
          IT'S BEING ADDED TO THE CHARTER. SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE COUNCIL NEEDED TO GO GET RIGHT AWAY FOR A ROADWAY OF PROVE MINT, YOU'D HAVE TO GET. 3/4 VOTE, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE FIVE VOTES OUT OF SIX, ASSUMING THE CHARTER PASSES TO BE ABLE TO MOVE IT SAID I'M SORRY, I FORGOT THE MAYOR VOTES. THAT'S RIGHT. SO THAT WAS ADDED AS A PROTECTION BUT BY THE COMMISSION. DON'T THINK IT'S OVER. THINK THE EMINENT DOMAIN STATUTE IS FAR FAR TOO LIBERAL. 
          AND I THINK JOE POINTED THIS OUT IN HIS ADDRESS. THE COUNCIL WAS THAT THIS IS INTENDED THIS CHARTER WAS INTENDED TO BE LIBERALLY CONSTRUED, APOLOGIZE. DON'T HAVE IT MARKED TO THE CITIZENS. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS DOES. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE EMINENT DOMAIN STATUTE DOES. 
          IT'S VERY LIBERAL, AND IT'S AGAINST THE LANDOWNER. UM THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY ON PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP IN THE FOUNDING OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THIS FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND IT WAS KEY TO OUR EXERCISE OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. IT WASN'T AN AFTERTHOUGHT. IT WAS KEY. IT WAS HOW WE WENT ABOUT EXERCISING. LIFE LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS BY VIRTUE OF PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND THIS EMINENT DOMAIN STATUTE SLASHES AT ALL THE KINGDOM COME BECAUSE THEY COULD TAKE YOUR LAND YOUR HARDER AND LAND LAND THAT'S BEEN IN YOUR FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS. IF THAT'S THE CASE, AND THEY CAN TAKE IT AND THEY CAN DO WITH IT, WHAT THEY WANT. FOR WHATEVER PURPOSE THEY DEEM NECESSARY. THAT'S WHAT THE STATUTE SAYS. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE LAW SAYS. THAT'S HOW THE STATUTE READS. AND FOR ANY PURPOSE THE MUNICIPALITY DEEMS NECESSARY. CASE ON THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION DOES NOT ALLOW THE 
          [02:15:07]
TOWN TO TAKE LAND FOR WHATEVER REASONS THEY DEEM NECESSARY. FOR EXAMPLE, WE SPECIFICALLY CANNOT TAKE THE TOWN SPECIFICALLY CANNOT TAKE A PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES. IT'S NOT ALLOWED. IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO DO THAT. SPEAK TO HIS REAL QUICK, THE COMMITTEE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THIS TOPIC, AND I PRESS PRETTY HARD FOR SOME LANGUAGE THERE AND THE RESULT OF THE COMMISSION WAS TO PUT ADDITIONAL PROTECTION SO THAT A PARTISAN COUNCIL COULD NOT EASILY JUST AN ACT EMIT THE MAIN IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE WITH THE SUPER MAJORITY VOTE. UM WERE PERVERTED PURPOSES. YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T LEGISLATE INTENT. THE CHARTER, BUT THIS WAS HEAVILY DISCUSSED IT EVEN THOUGH MR MCGREGOR AND EVEN MYSELF, I STOOD UP FIRST ONE PRETTY HARD DIDN'T GET OUR PARTICULAR WAY ON THIS. A COMPROMISE WAS REACHED CONSENSUS WAS REACHED. SAY RYAN. YES. I'M TRYING TO TAKE TOO MUCH TIME JUST TRYING TO CONVEY WHAT WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE SESSION, AND THAT WAS FOR A LOT OF ISSUES. THERE WAS ALMOST ALWAYS SOMEBODY FELT STRONGLY ABOUT SOMETHING AND. 
          RALLIED AROUND THEM AND GOT TO A COMPROMISE. WHICH I THINK IT WAS BOOKED VOLUMES ABOUT THE MAKEUP OF THE COMMITTEE. NOBODY EVER SAID ANYBODY UP. EVERYBODY LISTENED. EVERYBODY'S DEPENDENCE. HAVE A GREAT CONSIDERATION WAS GIVEN TO A LOT OF THEM WITH A LOT OF COMPROMISES BEING MET. AND WE WOULD KNOW THAT IF WE HAD BEEN ALLOWED TO COME TO THAT MEETING, AND THAT'S ALL WILLING GOOD, BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY TELL US THAT, BRIAN I MEAN, I KNOW THAT THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY DID IN GOOD FAITH. UM WHAT WAS THE WHAT WAS THE RATIONALE BEHIND? GIVING A THREE YEAR TERM TO A MAYOR VERSUS A TWO YEAR TERM TO A COUNCIL MEMBER. THE COMMISSION TO THE BEST OF MY UNDERSTANDING, CELTIC CITY MAYOR DESIRE WOULD REQUIRE MORE TIME TO UM, BRIDGE THEIR THEIR IDEAS AND EXECUTIVE ACTIONS ARE EXECUTIVE ACTIONS. 
          THAT'S A BAD CHOICE OF WORK. BUT TO GET THEIR AGENDA THROUGH IN THE LONGER TERM PLANNING OF THE TOWN, HAVING A SLIGHTLY LONGER TERM, RYAN WAS IT ALSO, THEY WERE LOOKING AT A FOUR YEAR TERM AND THAT TWO YEAR TERM AND. A THREE YEAR WAS IT WAS A COMPROMISED AS WELL. HMM. 
          OKAY, THEN, WOULD ACTUALLY MAYBE YOU COULD EXPLAIN THIS TO ME? ADAM NUMBER TWO UNDER 3.4 QUALIFICATIONS OF CANDIDATES ABOUT ABOUT THE NEPOTISM LAW CHAPTER, 573 TEXTS, GOVERNMENT CODE AND AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 15 POINT. NO. ONE OF THE CHARTER. DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU CAN'T QUALIFY FOR A PLACE ON THE BALLOT? IF YOU ARE RELATED WITHIN SO MANY DEGREES OF AFFINITY AND CON SANGUINETTI OF AN EMPLOYEE. NO. THIS IS CALLED COMPLICATIONS FOR CANDIDATES. THAT'S WHERE IT FALLS UNDER 3.4. THERE'S 12 AND THREE LISTED. THIS IS NUMBER TWO. RIGHT? AND THE NEPOTISM SECTION DEALS WITH SECOND DEGREE OF AFFINITY AND THIRD GRADE CONTENT. WOULD ABILITY AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH EMPLOYEES AND OTHER OFFICIALS. 
          APPLICATIONS FOR THE CANDIDATE. EACH PERSON WHO BECOMES A CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER SHALL BE IT JUST ABIDE BY IT. AND SO THEY HAVE THE FOUR KNOWLEDGE THAT IF THEY GET ELECTED, THEIR RELATIVE WILL WILL NEED TO RESIGN WITHIN SIX MONTHS. AND WITH HIMSELF. 
          YESTERDAY TELLING BECAME. UM THEY ATTEST TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT THEIR RELATIVE WILL. THAT SHOULD BE IN THE ETHICS. I ASKED THE ATTORNEY ABOUT THAT, HE SAID. THAT SHOULD BE IN YOUR THAT'S USUALLY INCLUDED IN YOUR ETHICS ORDINANCE. AND THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT THE COUNCIL CREATE AN ETHICS ORDINANCE. BUT THIS THIS LOOKS LIKE AS IT IS PLACED UNDER QUALIFICATIONS OF CANDIDATES. IT IS A QUALIFICATION OF A CANDIDATE THAT YOU ABIDE BY THE NEPOTISM WALK. DID CORRECT. CANADA FOLLOWS THE LAW. YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT. IT JUST SEEMS OF IT ON A PLACE TO PUT IT. LOCATION CANDIDATE AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE GOOD TO HANG IN THERE. THAT'S A QUOTE CASES CANADA. THAT'S IT. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY SIGN AND. 
          [02:20:06]
ONE THING ABOUT. IS AN AWFUL PRICE. HE SAID. OFFERING MONEY FOR A POSITION THAT SHOULD BE A VOLUNTEER POSITION. AND IN FACT OUR FOUNDERS ADDRESSED THIS. THE FOUNDER OF UNITED STATES ADDRESSED PUBLIC SERVICE SERVICE OF THIS KIND SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT OF A BURDEN. UM FOR VOLUNTEERING. WE SHOULDN'T. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS HEAVILY DISCUSSED, AND I ACTUALLY TOLD THEM I HAD NO INTEREST IN THIS BUT I ACTUALLY BROUGHT UP A LEGAL ISSUE WITH NOT BEING COMPENSATED IN SOME ANNOUNCE, BE IT, YOU KNOW. DOLLAR OR A MILLION DOLLARS, BUT THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THAT, ACTUALLY, IF YOU COULD ADDRESS. YEAH, IT HAS TO DO WITH IMMUNITIES. THIS ENSURES YOUR IMMUNITY PROTECTIONS AS UNAUTHORIZED SIR OF THE TOWN. 
          THE GAME. EXACTLY. EXACTLY. WHAT STATUE? MORE CASE LAW ITS CASE ALL YEAH. RIGHT? IT'S ABOUT. IT'S A FUNDAMENTALLY ABOUT IMMUNITIES AND YOUR ENTITLEMENT TO IMMUNITY. 
          PROTECTION. YEAH, IT COULD BE A DOLLAR. ABSOLUTELY. AND THIS WAS A NUMBER THAT MOVED AROUND TOO. AND I THINK, UH, THERE WERE MEMBERS ON THE COMMISSION THAT WANTED IT HIGHER THERE REMEMBERS THAT WANTED IT LOWER AS THE MAYOR PRO TEM SAY, EAST. HE STAYED OUT OF THIS CONVERSATION. BUT, UM, THAT THAT WAS THE COMPROMISE TO FIND OUT SWEET SPOT. ONE VERY IMPORTANT POINT THAT CAME UP WITH THIS IS THAT WE HAVE LIMITS IN THERE SO THAT THE COUNCIL CANNOT CALL AND LESS SPECIAL MEETINGS TO JUST COLLECT A PAYCHECK. THAT CAPTAIN TO MEETING FOR MONTHS. EVEN IF YOU HAD HAD MEETINGS IN A MONTH, IF YOU REMEMBER THERE WAS A FAMOUS CASE, BELL, CALIFORNIA WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE MEETING AFTER MEETING AND I BROUGHT THAT UP. AND, UM THEY THAT'S WHEN THEY PUT THAT LIMIT IN. SO THEY THOUGHT THROUGH THIS VERY CAREFULLY AS WELL, TAKING ADVICE FROM LEGAL COUNSEL. ON BAND. THERE WERE MANY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION THAT THOUGHT PEOPLE SHOULD GET YOU KNOW, A SMALL STIPEND FOR COMING TO THE MEETING AND SERVING. AGREE. YEAH. REPLACED. UH, THAT THAT ALTERNATE LOCATION SHALL BE NOTICED. 72 HOURS PRIOR TO THE MEETING OR WHENEVER THE NOTICE FOR THE MEETING GOES OUT. IT DOESN'T PROVIDE FOR THAT. IT JUST SAYS YOU CAN HAVE ME PATIENT. BUT THE LAST SENTENCE SAYS ALL MEETINGS OF THE COUNCIL SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS AT WHAT. THAT YOU HAVE TO NOTICE THAT ABSOLUTELY OKAY PART OF COME ON. JUST A QUICK CLARIFICATION QUESTION UNDER 3.14 CORMAN VOTING FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE MAYOR. DOES THAT MEAN THAT A QUORUM REQUIRES THE PRESENCE OF THE MAYOR, OR ARE YOU JUST INCLUDING THE MAYOR? HE COUNTS TOWARDS A QUORUM. NOW HE DOES NOT RIGHT. BUT. IS IT? WHERE HE'D WIRED IS HIS PRESENCE REQUIRED FOR A CORN? NO OKAY, BECAUSE THAT'S JUST HOW I READ THAT. BECAUSE IT SAYS FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE MAYOR, SHALL CONSTITUTE QUORUM TO DO BUSINESS. SO, INCLUDING THE MAYOR SHALL CONSTITUTE. THAT'S WHERE WHERE SO NO NO. UM ADAM UNDER 3.33 POINT, 13. SEE ANY ADAM REQUESTED BY THE MAYOR. THE MAYOR PRO TEM TO COUNCIL MEMBERS OR THE TOWN MANAGER SHALL BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA BY THE TOWN SECRETARY. I'M CURIOUS AS TO THE RATIONALE BEHIND WHY TOWN MANAGER, UM HAS MORE AUTHORITY THAN A SINGLE ELECTED MEMBER OF COUNCIL. THAT'S WHAT THE COMMISSION CAME UP WITH. RYAN, CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT? YES, SINCE THE SINCE THE TOWN MANAGER IS A. HIGHER POSITION THAN A TOWN ADMINISTRATOR. UM THEY WILL HAVE TO PUT BUSINESS ITEMS ON THERE. THE MAYOR GETS A LITTLE MORE REMOVED FROM THE DAY TODAY BACK OFFICE OPERATIONS INCLUDE YOU KNOW, SMALL BUDGET REQUESTS, AND I'M SORRY, BUT YOUR REQUEST IS NOT GREAT, BUT THEY'RE SMALL OPERATIONS. IT WILL NEED TO BE 
          [02:25:04]
PUT ON THE AGENDA TO ME TIMELINES AND THIS GIVES TODAY WHAT I THINK THE MARRIAGE. YOU HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT. IT GETS PUT ON THERE, BUT MOST OF THEM WITHOUT CONTEST CONTEST STATION. PHILIP THEIR COUNSEL, BECAUSE ON THEM. OKAY UM, I BELIEVE THAT ONE BECAME. I THINK THAT WAS THE UNION POSITION WILL NOT MISTAKEN. HE BELIEVED IT WAS UNANIMOUS DECISION AMONG THE COMMISSION. JUST MY OPINION ON ADAM FOUR POINT APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS OF BOARD. UM, I THINK ALL BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS SHOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. I THINK EVERYTHING THAT THE TOWN DOES THAT ISN'T HAVE A STRATEGIC OR LEGAL NATURE THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION SHOULD BE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT, AND I THINK EVERY SINGLE MEETING THAT THE TOWN HAS SHOULD BE OPEN TO ANYONE WHO LIVES IN THE TOWN. I DON'T BELIEVE IN SECRET MEETINGS. ACTUALLY, IS THAT THE CASE TODAY? ALL OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS OR PUBLIC WITH ENOUGH YEAH. YES I MEAN, THE ANSWER IS IF THE STATUTES REQUIRED TO BE OPENED, THEN IT'S REQUIRED BE OPEN, SO COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE REQUIRED TO BE OPEN. PNC BE AWAY ARE REQUIRED TO BE OPEN. THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT AIR NBC'S IT. HE SEES A REQUIRED TO BE OPEN AND THAT'S ALL STATUTORILY MANDATED. THERE'S NOTHING IN CHAPTER NINE ON THE CHARTER COMMISSION THAT REQUIRED THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT TO APPLY TO A CHARTER COMMISSION. SO MY ADVICE WAS YOU CAN HIMSELF IMPOSE THAT REQUIREMENT IF YOU WANT TO, AND YOU IS, THE COUNCIL DECIDED NOT TO SELF IMPOSED THAT REQUIRING SO THE ANSWER IS MAYBE IT DEPENDS. HERE, BUT. CERTAINLY YOU CAN SELF IMPOSED THAT. YES. BRIAN THERE WAS DISCUSSION ON THAT AS WELL. THE STANDING COMMITTEES COMMISSIONS. THE ONGOING WERE ALL OPEN. THERE WERE CASES WHERE THERE COULD BE IN AD HOC OR ADVISORY BOARD THAT WOULDN'T NEED TO BE OPEN BUT COULD SELF IMPOSE OPEN MEETINGS? IS THAT THE WAY YOU REMEMBER IT? ABSOLUTELY SO THINGS LIKE THE NEXT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. BEING THIS STANDARD, BORED, ANNOY ONGOING STANDING BOARD THAT COULD SELF IMPOSED TO BE OPEN OR CLOSED BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE OPENED. BUT ALL STANDING BOARDS, BUT ONCE THE CREW JUST THE MEMORY THAT ARE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW TELMA THAT REQUIRED TO BE OPEN ARE THEY? THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF THAT FROM THE COMMITTEE FROM THE COMMITTEE, WOZ. THAT WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON WORK PRODUCT THAT HAS TO BE VOTED ON THEIR WORKED ON BY SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE END TO PASS. LET THEM HAVE THE WORKSHOP WHEN IT IS A PRODUCT THAT IS GOING TO HAVE. I'M SORRY, PULLED ME OUT. THAT'S BASICALLY IT DIFFERENT DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH COUNCIL EVENTUALLY, THAT'S WHERE IT GETS THIS PUBLIC AIRING OF PUBLIC LATE YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY DO A WORKSHOP WITH YOU 20,000 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE RIGHT? STOP THAT BRO, THE YEAH. THE PNC HAS. UM AUTHORITY TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT BILL DELAY IS A QUASI JUDICIAL THEY HAVE AUTHORITY. TAKE ACTIONS. ET CES HAVE BUDGET AUTHORITY TO GET INTO AGREEMENTS, AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE JUST REPORTS BACK THE COUNCIL AND THE COUNCIL. TAKES ACTION AND THEY'RE UNOPENED ELECTIVE BODY. SO THAT WAS THAT WAS THE THOUGHT PROCESS BY THE COMMISSION, AND THAT WAS A HIGH HIGH UNION UNANIMITY IS WELL. I CONCUR. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS ALLOWED, BUT ONE OF OUR CITIZENS JUST ASKED TO SPEAK IS THAT ALLOWED? I'M SORRY, NOT TONIGHT. THAT WE HAVE A COMMISSION MEMBER HERE. SPEAK. 
          UM IT'S UP TO YOU, MAYOR, YOU COULD DRINK IT. SHE WAS A COMMISSION MEMBER. YES SHE IS. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GENERALLY SPEAKING WAY. WANT TO TRY TO KEEP YOU KNOW COMMENTARY TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT BUT BECAUSE YOU HAD A SPECIFIC PART IN THIS ACTION SIMILAR TO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SOME OF OUR ACTION ITEMS. THAT SEEMS APPROPRIATE. SO IF YOU JUST OKAY? JUST INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU. OKAY LAMONT'S IN 2941 GRASSLAND COURT. NOT LIKE TEXAS. 
          I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THE CONSTANT COMMENT ABOUT THE MEETING NOT BEING OPEN AT THE 
          [02:30:01]
BEGINNING OF OUR MEETING. WE VOTED. WE WERE ASKED IF WE WANTED THIS TO BE AN OPEN MEETING. TO ANYONE, EVERYONE OR IF WE WANTED IT TO REMAIN CLOSED, AND THE COMMITTEE VOTED TO KEEP IT REMAIN CLOSED. THAT'S WHY NO OTHER AND PUT NOBODY ELSE WAS A LOT OF. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MS SWANSON. THE COUNCIL ACTUALLY DID THAT. AND HAD IT MEANS THAT HAVE BEEN LEGAL. DID THE COUNCIL TAKE ANY ACTION ON THIS OUT, RECALLED PICKING UP THE QUESTION, RIGHT? IT COULD BE CLOSED, BUT THE COUNCIL DIDN'T DIDN'T MANDATE IT BE OPEN OR CLOSED SO BUT YOU THE. APPOINTMENT ORDER SAID THAT THEY WOULD ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RULES SO ABSOLUTELY THE COMMISSION COULD HAVE DECIDED THAT IT BE OPEN OR CLOSED AND THEY DIDN'T DECIDE THAT IT BE CLOSED. THE COMMISSION DID IT UNDER THEIR OWN AUTHORITY, NOT INTO THE COUNCILS OF THE COUNCIL, DIDN'T ENACT THE COUNCIL DIDN'T MANDATE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I DON'T THINK SO. 
          NO. RIGHT? WORD AND EIGHT WEEKS. I HAVE SEEN THINGS. GIVEN TO COUNSEL. RIGHT BEFORE WE STARTED COUNCIL MEETING AND THIS WORD, SUBSTANTIAL. UM CAN MEAN A MAJORITY. IT CAN MEAN YOU KNOW IF YOU WIN BY SUBSTANTIAL VOTE, YOU KNOW YOU COULD. THAT COULD BE JUST A MAJORITY 51. CAN I SUBSTANTIALLY PAY MY TAXES? I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WILL BE OKAY WITH THAT. I THINK WARD'S LIKE THIS AND THIS MAY BE WHAT MICHAEL SEVERAL WAS REFERRING TO SUBSTANTIALLY. HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUBSTANTIALLY? HOW DO YOU DEFINE SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT WERE I'M TALKING ABOUT. HER IN. FOR A DEFINITION FOR SUBSTANTIAL. THAT IS IN THERE TO ALLOW. I'M SORRY. THE REASONING I THOUGHT COME OUT OF THIS IS I ACTUALLY BROUGHT UP SOMETIMES THE COUNCIL WILL CHANGE A WORD AN ORDINANCE RIGHT BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE HOW IT READS AND THAT'S PART OF THAT SUBSTANTIALLY RIGHT? BECAUSE IF IT'S PIPED UP ONE WAY, AND WE CHANGE, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BRING IT BACK AND WRITING AGAIN THAT WE MAKE CHANGES. CITY ORDINANCES ON FLY ALL THE TIME IN REAL LIFE. I THINK THAT'S WHERE THAT CAME FROM THIS IS THAT YOUR RECOLLECTION? ACTUALLY, THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S PUT IN THERE TO ALLOW YOU TO TAKE ACTION FROM FROM THE DIOCESE, IF NEEDED WITHOUT HAMSTRINGING YOU AND REQUIRING YOU TO SATISFY A WHOLE BUNCH OF HOOPS TO GET IT BACK IN FRONT OF YOU AND GET IT ACTED ON. 
          SO UNDER ADAM, NUMBER FIVE, THE TOWN. 5.5 POWERS AND DUTIES. THE TOWN MANAGER IT'S NUMBER FIVE, SAYS ATTEND ALL MEETINGS OF THE COUNCIL, EXCEPT ONE EXCUSED BY THE COUNCIL TOWN MANAGER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE PART IN DISCUSSION. BUT NOT VOTE. DOES THIS MEAN THAT? THAT HE CAN LEAD DISCUSSION. DOES IT MEAN THAT HE CAN JUST INTERJECT WHAT HE WANTS TO WHEN HE'S RECOGNIZED? THIS IS THE SAME AS WE ARE TODAY IS NOT. MAYOR CONTROLS THE AGENDA AND RECOGNITION ON THE FLOOR. AND SO HE'S TREATED AS ANY OF YOU ARE RECOGNIZING THE FLOOR WERE FAIRLY CASUAL ON THIS ONE AS WE OBVIOUSLY ACTRESS BECAUSE WE CAN THIS POINT WE'RE NOT SO BIG THAT WE REALLY NEED TO BE ALL FORMAL, TOO FORMAL ABOUT THE FLOOR. BUT AS YOU NOTED, TONIGHT, WE CHECKED ON THAT QUESTION. YOU SEE TO THE QUESTION, COUNSELOR GANZ FOR A MOMENT. AND TOOK THE FLOOR BACK. HE CAN INTERJECT IN THE DIALOGUE, BUT THAT THERE'S I DON'T SEE ANY CHANGE FROM THIS FROM WHERE WE ARE TODAY. NO I DON'T EITHER IN PRACTICE, OKAY, BUT THIS IS A CHARTER AND THIS IS ENUMERATING EVERYTHING WE CAN AND CAN'T EVERYTHING WE WILL AND WILL NOT DO AND THAT'S WHERE I HAVE. YOU KNOW? I'M A BIG FAN OF RIDING RULES, NOT FOR THE PERSON BUT FOR THE POSITION BECAUSE IF YOU WRITE IT, ACCORDING TO THE PERSON, THE NEXT PERSON WHO COMES INTO THE OFFICE IS GOING TO CHANGE AND SO I'M A BIG FAN OF GIVING 
          [02:35:02]
THIS ROT IN THE DOCUMENT. AS OPPOSED TO GOING WELL, YOU KNOW THE WAY WE'D WORK IT IS. WE'RE PRETTY CASUAL ABOUT IT, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. YES. MOST OF OUR GOOD COUNCIL MEETINGS THERE DONE THAT WAY. BUT. WELL, YOU HAVE IN YOUR ORDNANCE TODAY. YOU SPECIFY THIS IN MORE DETAIL. BUT IT'S THE SAME LANGUAGE IN OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE TODAY. THAT SPECIFIES THAT THE TOWN ADMINISTRATOR AT THIS TIME IS ABLE TO INTERJECT DISCUSSION AND TO SPEAK AND ATTEND MEETINGS, INCLUDING EXECUTIVE SESSION. BUT CAN VOTE. IT'S THE SAME LANGUAGE. 
          QUICK QUESTION UNDER A 0.7 FILING FOR OFFICE PROCEDURES UNDER B. TALK ABOUT CANDIDATE FOR ELECTION SHELF, I'LL 0.70 SUCH AN APPLICATION SHALL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE. MY QUESTION IS, CAN IT BE ONLINE SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO COME UP HERE TO GET THEIR PACKETS? I THINK IT MIGHT BE EASIER FOR YOU SURELY, RIGHT? I MEAN, DOES IT HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT? HAD THE NUMERATOR HERE? CAN WE JUST PUT THAT. VARIOUS STATE. THERE IS NO LAW THAT REQUIRES US TO. UM JUST A REAL QUICK THING. THE COUNCIL SHELF, CANVASS THE RETURNS, INVESTIGATE THE QUALIFICATIONS, THE CANDID AND DECLARED THE OFFICIAL RESULTS. 
          WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY INVESTIGATE THE QUALIFICATIONS JUST WHERE THEY LIVE AND HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN HERE AND DETERMINE ALL OF THAT. HAS TO BE DONE. WITH THE TOWN SECRETARY RECEIVED THE MISMATCH. IT'S GREAT YOU SAW OF KID AND SOUNDS OF STATE. HMM. CAN YOU SPECIFY EXACTLY WHAT INFORMATION YOU'RE CONFIRMING FOR THE COUNSELOR? YES. WHAT INFORMATION ARE YOU LOOKING FOR RESIDENCY HERE. IT'S LIKE LIVING IN THE STATE OF TEXAS WITH THAT NEWS. PATIENTS IN YOUR OFFICE AND THEN IN THE CITY. IS WHAT? YOU'RE A TEST. RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TESTING, TOO, BUT I BELIEVE I'M INTERPRETING THE QUESTION CORRECTLY. OKAY, SO YOU'RE NOT INVESTIGATING THEM, OKAY? YOU'RE CONFIRMING THE APPLICATION IS COMPLETE. THAT'S ALL. OKAY YEAH. WAIT FOR ME. THE ONLY THINGS THAT EVERYBODY KNOW HOW LITTLE BROTHER. JUST HEARING YOUR TESTING YOUR SWEARING, DID YOU? THANK YOU, TEXAS AND THE CITY FOR THIS ONE, AND THAT AIN'T MAKES THE QUALIFICATION. MM HMM. YOU DON'T DO THAT ON HER ON HER. 
          HER ADVICE. ADVICE SHE DOES THE WORK AND YOU ATTEST TO IT. SHE DOES AN INVESTIGATION. ON YOUR BEHALF. WAS THERE. WE'LL DO IT. THEY HAVE THE AGE LIMIT. YEAH, IT'S IN FOR. IT'S NO THEY THEY DECIDED NOT TO CHANGE THE AGE FROM WHAT'S IN STATE STATUTE. IT'S A 3.4 ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS LISTED, UM, AND THE ONLY THING THEY CHANGED FROM STATE LAW IS YOU HAVE TO RESIDE WITHIN THE TOWN FOR AT LEAST 12 MONTHS. AS OPPOSED TO WHAT'S IN THE ELECTION. CODY'S WAS SIX MONTHS. BUT THEY LEFT IT IN 18 YEARS OLD. 
          THAT ONE. THOSE WERE TO FIND IN CASE LAW AND THAT WE'LL HAVE A HEARING FOR THOSE ITEMS THAT YOU'LL SEE THAT 9.29 POINT 39 POINT 59.6 PROVIDES THE PROCESS. WHEREBY YOU GUYS WILL HOLD A HEARING AND DECIDE WHETHER, UM INCOMPETENCY MISCONDUCT OR MALFEASANCE AN OFFENSE HAS OCCURRED. BASED ON THE PETITION THAT YOU GET FROM CITIZENS. SO YOU'RE THE JUDGE OF THAT? THERE IS NOTHING. I MEAN, YOU'RE THE JURY, YOU GUYS WERE THE JURY ON THAT. WILL BE AN ALLEGATION IN THE PETITION, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PROCESS SETS OUT. AND YOU HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING UNDER 9.6. AND UM AND THEN YOU CAN YOU'LL CALL FOR A RECALL ELECTION. UNDER NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT. RIGHT, RIGHT. SO WE SET OUT AND 9.3 THE FORM OF THE 
          [02:40:11]
RECALL PETITION, SO THAT SAYS IF THE CITIZENS MESS UP ON THE FORM, AND THEY DON'T GET THE FORM EXACTLY RIGHT. IF THE IF THE THRESHOLD IS STILL MET FOR RECALL, IT DOESN'T PRECLUDE YOU FROM CALLING THE ELECTION JUST BECAUSE THE CITIZENS MESS UP ON THEIR FORM. NOTHING HERE. 
          RIGHT? NOTE THAT THE LAW WOULD DEFINE THAT TERM. WHAT THAT MEANS IS. RECALL IS NOT THE ONLY FORM OF GETTING SOMEONE OUT OF OFFICE IF THE LAW ALLOWS THEM TO GET OFF OUT OF OFFICE ANOTHER WAY. THE CHARTER DOESN'T PREVENT THAT OTHER WAY. IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES. NOT A LOT OF THEM. GENERALLY THAT'S A GOOD GOOD STATEMENT OF IT THAT YOU CAN GENERALLY RESTRICT YOURSELF MORE THAN STATE LAW RESTRICTS YOU, BUT YOU GENERALLY CANNOT OVERRUN. ALLOW YOURSELF MORE POWERS THAN THE STATE GIVES YOU. AND WEAK THE CHARTER WON'T LET YOU YOU SERVE THE CONSTITUTION RIGHT BILL OF RIGHTS, RIGHT? OKAY, RIGHT. OF COURSE THAT WOULD PREEMPT ON ALL. NO, SIR. NO. 
          THAT LOOKS DRINKING QUIET, QUIET. I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING THE MICROPHONE, OKAY, HOLLY REAL LOUD, TOO. WE SAID THAT IT TAKES THREE FORCE TO DO SOMETHING A WHILE AGO AND SOMEBODY SAID. THAT'S 5 3/4 OF SEVEN AND SIX. IT IS THAT'S RIGHT. SO BE A REAL SUPER MAJORITY. ONLY ONE PERSON COULD VOTE AGAINST SOMETHING FOR IT TO HAPPEN IF WE NEED A SUPER MAJORITY. THAT'S AS IT RELATES TO EMIT DOMAIN, RIGHT? YOU HAVE TO VOTE AGAINST IT BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE JUST ONE VOTED AGAINST YOU STILL HAVE A SUPER MAJORITY OF SIX OUT OF SEVEN. 
          BUT IF TWO VOTED AGAINST IT NO, IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN. CORRECT CORRECT? I GUESS THIS IS MY NEXT QUESTION IS PROBABLY FOR BRIAN. UNDER UNDER FRANCHISES IN PUBLIC UTILITIES. 11 11.7 ROT OF REGULATION THINGS THAT HAS COME UP TIME AND TIME AGAIN. IS THIS IDEA OF FRANCHISE UTILITIES RUNNING THROUGH THE TOWN, BUT THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO SERVICE THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN. THERE'S UM FIBER OPTIC AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE ONLY AVAILABLE TO CERTAIN AREAS OF THE TOWN. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IN THIS TO REQUIRE ANYONE WHO HAS A FRANCHISE WITH THE TOWN OF NORTH LIKE TO PROVIDE. AT THE SAME LEVEL. THEIR PRODUCT OR THEIR SERVICE TO EVERYONE IN THE TOWN, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT SOME OF OUR TOWN IS A LITTLE MORE RURAL THAN THE OTHER PARTS OF THE TOWN. IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO REQUIRE THIS OF OUR FRANCHISEES. SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO CABLE AND FIBER OPTICS, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REGULATES THAT SO WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO REQUIRE SERVICE AT A CERTAIN LEVEL. FOR CABLE. 
          CERTAINLY AGAIN, THE FEDS REGULATE AND PREEMPT US FROM THAT BEING THIS. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN TELL THEM THEY CAN TAKE THEIR POLES DOWN. THEY'RE ALL WAY CANNOT MANDATE SERVICE WE CAN WE CAN REGULATE THEM AS A LANDOWNER. FOR THE RIGHT TO USE OUR LANDS IN A VERY LIMITED CAPACITY, BUT WE CAN'T REQUIRE THEM TO PROVIDE SERVICE. THE FEDS WON'T ALLOW IT. UM. SO PENALTIES DON'T HAVE TO BE A NUMERATOR IN THIS DOCUMENT. THEY JUST HAVE TO BE THEY HAVE TO BE ALLOWED, RIGHT? THAT RIGHT? AND THEN OUR ORDINANCES WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH ANY KIND OF PENALTY, RIGHT? OKAY? I'M SORRY. WE HAD A QUESTION. WILL OUR FEE SCHEDULE? CARRY OVER IF WE CHANGE FORM OF GOVERNMENT, OR WILL WE HAVE TO RE ORDAIN OUR FEES. WE HAVE IN OUR 
          [02:45:08]
CONTINUING SECTION. LET ME FIND THE SECTION NUMBER IT WILL CARRY OVER NOW. OF COURSE YOU CAN CHANGE IT. OF COURSE. OKAY THAT WAS JUST THE STAFF. QUESTIONS ALREADY INTERRUPT. GO AHEAD, COUNSELOR. DON'T RUN. DON'T. SO IF YOU LOOK AT 60 NO. ONE IF IT'S CURRENTLY INACTIVE, IT CONTINUES AND IN EFFECT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO RE ADOPT. WE WERE WAY WERE, YOU KNOW? OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GONNA HAVE A P NZ AND A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND THE COUNCIL'S GOING TO NEED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY TO CREATE THOSE WHO WERE KIND OF PRE LOADING THOSE ORDINANCES. 
          HOPEFULLY THEY'RE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE FOR YOU TO REVIEW WHAT WE WILL BRING THOSE FORWARD. WE MIGHT EVEN HAVE A BRIEFING AS WE APPROACH THAT TIME IN THE EVENT SO, UM, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WITH IT CONTINUITY. CLAWS WERE HOPING TO THE TO CONTINUE AS IT IS, AND, MAKE THE TRANSITION, ESPECIALLY AS POSSIBLE SO UNDER THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF PLANNING AND ZONING. THEY CAN APPROVE A FLAT, DOES IT THEN GO TO THE COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL, OR THEY'RE THE FINAL AUTHORITY. THAT'S UP TO YOU WHEN YOU ADOPT YOUR ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THAT YOU CAN. YOU CAN GIVE THAT POWER TO PNC IF YOU WANT THEM TO HAVE THAT FINAL AUTHORITY. ON CERTAIN PLANTS. YOU CAN STILL SAY IF THERE'S A VARIANCE, FOR EXAMPLE, I STILL WANTED TO COME TO COUNSEL. BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT THAT ORDINANCE SETTING UP YOUR PNC AND THE PARAMETERS OF YOUR PANSY YOU CAN. YOU CAN DECIDE TO ALLOW THEM THAT AUTHORITY OR NOT. WE COULD SAY UNDER MERITORIOUS EXCEPTIONS OR UNDER EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES, IT ALL GOES TO THE COUNCIL. YEAH. OR YOU COULD JUST REQUIRE IT ALL TO GO. GO TO YOU. IF PNC JUST BE A COMPLETE RECOMMENDING BODY. THAT'S THAT'S UP TO YOU. OKAY? BUT YOU HAVE TO CREATE A PANSY. THE OVERRIDING THEME OF COMMISSION WAS THAT WE HAVE ELECTED EVEN KNOW WHY THESE BOARDS OR WILL BE APPOINTED AND SAID VOTED ON UM, THAT IT STILL HAS COME BACK TO THE ELECTED OFFICIALS. AND THAT'S WHERE THE PEOPLE'S POWER IS BY ELECTING THE PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE THAT WILL ACT ON THEIR BEHALF. SO EVEN THOUGH THE DNC HAS APPOINTED THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT IS APPOINTED THAT THOSE PEOPLE WILL GET THERE, PUBLIC LIGHT PUBLIC DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNCIL. S O UNDER 15.3. ANY PERSON WHO WILLFULLY ENGAGES IN HER FOUND VIOLATIONS. 
          ACTIVITIES PROVIDE PROHIBITED IN THIS CHAPTER. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. LET'S SEE. SO DOES THAT THEN MEAN THAT THEIR EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT IS VOID AVOIDABLE? UM, I WOULD SAY, UM, I MEAN, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE A DETERMINATION FROM FROM THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AS TO WHETHER SOMEONE WILFULLY ENGAGED, BUT AND WE'LL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS OF REVOKING THAT THAT CONTRACT AND WHAT THE CONTRACT SAYS. YES I MEAN, GENERALLY WITH THE CAVEAT OF. 
          CONTRACT CAN ALWAYS PROVIDE DIFFERENTLY. THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS. 
          THEIR ATTORNEY SHOULD BE DOING THIS. IF NOT THE DEFENSIVE, IF NOT WELL, WE'LL FILE A PLEA THE JURISDICTION AND SAY THEY DIDN'T COMPLY WITH 16 06 AND DIDN'T PROVIDE NOTICE. STAR REPORTER. I JUST HAVE TO PROVIDE NOTICE OF IT. WHICH IS STANDARD. CI LAWYERS. 
          HAVE HAVE A FORM LETTER FOR THIS. 
          [02:50:02]
COMPENSATION HAS DO WITH YOUR IMMUNITIES THAT YOU'RE ENTITLED TO. NOT INDEMNIFICATION. CORRECT. 
          THERE'S APPARENTLY WANTS HER TO THE NAME HIMSELF. GREAT. WHO IS THAT? UM MR STRADER? YES. YEAH, HE MR STRADER, COULDN'T HE COULD NOT ATTEND THE FIRST MEETING COULD NOT ATTEND THE SECOND AND WITH THEM ATTENDING SECRETARY'S CAR CHOSE TO REMOVE HIMSELF. WELL AND HE, HE SAID HE HAD A NUMBER OF FAMILY ISSUES AND DISCUSSING WITH COUNCIL MEMBER COUNSELOR SIMPSON. HE WITHDREW. THE MOST. THAT ALL COUNSELOR YOU COULD COUNSELOR HERMAN. VERY GOOD.

REFERENCE THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS PROVIDED TO YOU. YES, THE OLD BOY. I'M NOT THE REVISED LANGUAGE WITH WHERE HAS CHANGED? I DON'T THINK I RECEIVED I TOOK. MAY I MAKE A COMMENT WILL BE FIND SOMEPLACE THINK CALL IT ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE CAN, LIKE, ALL RIGHT COUNSELOR SESSIONS HAS SOME COMMENTS. HOPE IT'S ONE QUICK COMMENT. AND THAT IS THAT JUST BECAUSE THIS POINT CERTAIN THINGS OUT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE AREN'T STILL CONTROLLED BY THE BILL OF RIGHTS OF THE UNITED STATES. STATE LAWS, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. WE'RE JUST TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS HERE. WE'RE NOT. WE CAN'T SUPERSEDE THOSE OTHER THINGS. THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T NEED TO BE IN THIS DOCUMENT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, COUNSELOR. ALL RIGHT, UH, MAYOR PRETEND WITHDREW HIS MOTION BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE UPDATED LANGUAGE THAT YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDED WITH SO THE FLOOR IS STILL OPEN FOR YOUR ACTION.
