[2B. Mental Health Policy for Police Officers – Chief Robert Crawford]
ON TO THE. NEXT ONE. THIS IS A MENTAL HEALTH POLICY FROM POLICE OFFICERS. THIS YEAR'S YES. THIS IS PAST BUYER 87TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION SENATE BILL 13 59 BIPARTISAN BILL RELATING THE ADOPTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SHE'S HAVING A MENTAL HEALTH POLICY IN PLACE. IT'S EFFECTIVE DATA SEPTEMBER 1ST. HOWEVER, THEY DO. LETS YOU EXTEND THAT, UM. SO YOU WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CORRECT BEFORE YOU IMPLEMENT IT. SO JUST. HAVE A BRIEF DEFINITIONS A TRAUMATIC[00:05:08]
EVENT BASICALLY AN EVENT THAT MIGHT CAUSE AN OFFICER UM EXPERIENCE STRONG EMOTIONAL OR FEELINGS THAT WHERE THEY CAN'T PERFORM THEIR FUNCTIONS FROM NOW ON. OUR OFFICERS COME ACROSS, YOU KNOW, TRAGEDIES AND ACCIDENTS. YOU KNOW, THEY SEE THINGS THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T SEE OR DON'T WANT TO SEE AND IT DOES HAVE INFECTED AFTER TIME. MOST OFFICERS IN A 20 YEAR CAREER. I READ A STUDY WANTS TO SEE IF THEY SEE 800 TRAUMATIC EVENTS IN YOUR CAREER OVER 20 YEARS. SO SOME OF THE DEFINITIONS OF TRAUMATIC EVENTS OR YOU KNOW MAJOR DISASTERS EVENTS COULD BE TORNADOES HOUSE FIRES THINGS LIKE THAT, WHERE THERE'S AN INJURED PARTIES.MULTIPLE CASUALTIES RESPONSE TO INVESTIGATION INSTANCE OF LOVING DEATH OR ABUSE. CHILDREN ARE REALLY HARD THING FOR AN OFFICER TO SEE. UM ALSO ALSO INVOLVED SHOOTINGS. DEFINITIONS OF MENTAL HEALTH LEAVE ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE WITH PAY GRANTED IN RESPONSE TO A TRAUMATIC EVENT THAT OCCURRED IN SCOPE, THE TWO TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT. PROFESSIONAL LICENSED PROFESSIONAL BY THE STATE. THAT BETTER OKAY? LICENSE SOCIAL MENTAL HEALTH WORKER COUNSELOR PSYCHOTHERAPIST, PSYCHOLOGIST OR PSYCHIATRIST. SOME OF THE MANDATES AT THE LEGISLATIVE UM, LEGISLATORS REQUIRED IS THAT. HAS TO BE A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY SHUT DEVELOPED ABOUT POLICY. ABOUT MENTAL HEALTHY FOR POLICE OFFICERS. MUST BE CLEAR AND OBJECTIVE GUIDELINES. THEY LEAVE IT PRETTY BROAD. NO DEDUCTION AND SALARY BENEFITS WHILE THEY'RE ON THAT LEAVE AND ANONYMITY FOR THOSE WHO TAKE LEAVE SO WE CAN'T PUT IT DOWN AS THEY'RE OFF TO SEE A MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER. WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT AS ADMIN LEAF. MUST BE DEVELOPED AS SOON AS PRACTICAL AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE LAW CHANGE. SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH OTHER CHIEFS AND WE'RE STILL IN PROGRESS. ALL THE AREA CHIEFS ARE AS FAR AS DEVELOPING A POLICY SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED WAS OFFERED TO ALL EMPLOYEES, NOT JUST POLICE OR FIRST RESPONDERS. COULD BE AN ADMIN ASSISTANT EMILY SEES A LOT OF PICTURES VIDEOS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL CRIME SCENES AND THINGS LIKE THAT OR IF WE HAVE A PUBLIC WORKS, UM. PERSON DOING EXCAVATION AND THEY HAVE A COLLAPSE OR THINGS LIKE THAT I MEAN, THAT COULD BE VERY TRAUMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE THERE AS WELL. THINGS THAT WANT TO DO IS NUMBER OF DAYS SET FOR MENTAL HEALTH LEAVE. WE'VE HEARD NUMBERS FROM THREE DAYS TO FIVE DAYS, IT CAN BE EXTENDED TWICE. WITH DOCUMENTATION FROM THAT MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER THAT THEY'RE SEEING. LET'S SEE. AND WE DO PROVIDE A LIST OF MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES FOR THE EMPLOYEE WHERE THEY CAN SEEK A RESOURCE ON THEIR OWN. I SHOULD ADD THIS TO THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. AND MAYBE EXPANDED WHAT A TRAUMATIC EVENT IS UM, AS IT THROUGH THE PURVIEW OF DREW MYSELF ANOTHER DEPARTMENT HEADS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING? SO AS CHIEF INDICATED THIS IS STILL WORK IN PROGRESS. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT COUNCILS AWARE OF POTENTIAL CHANGES TO THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHIEF? IS, UM. THE NUMBER OF DAYS FOR MENTAL HEALTH LEVERS SET THIS HAS SET FOR 3 TO 5 WORKING IS THAT SOMETHING LEGISLATION SAID OR IS THAT JUST OUR BALLPARK OF WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR? THAT'S KIND OF THE BOAT WITH US TALKING TO OTHER POLICE CHIEFS SOME HAVE SAID AT A THREE SOME SAID IT AT FIVE. AND SO WE JUST KIND OF FIND A GOOD BALANCE. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD BALANCE? SPECIALLY IF YOU IF IT'S IF IT'S WORKING DAYS, A POLICE OFFICER THEIR SCHEDULES ROTATE SO 11 WEEK IT COULD BE, UM THEIR LONG WEEKS, SO THEY GET THREE DAYS OFF SO THEY GET THE WHOLE WEEK OFF. BUT ANOTHER ONE. IT MIGHT BE THE SHORT WEEK SO. THEY DON'T THEY DON'T GET THE FULL AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE EXTENSION UP TO TWO TIMES WITH DOCUMENTATION WILL I MEAN I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT IT MIGHT MIGHT BE EASY TO GET TO A THE RIGHT PERSON TO GET YOU THE RIGHT HELP INTO THREE. DAYS SO DO WE HAVE, LIKE A STANDING. CONTRACT WITH THEM MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL THAT'S ON CALL THAT WE CAN GO FAST TO KNOW. UM WE DO HAVE AN E. A P PROGRAM. YES, WE HAVE THREE VISITS IT IS NOT AS ROBUST AS. THE LEGISLATION IS BUT WE DO HAVE SOME. SO WE'RE BALANCING THAT IF, UM. SO THAT THAT ALREADY EXIST AND AGAIN THIS WAS LEGISLATIVELY MANDATED IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1ST YEAR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE SO WE'RE. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS TOGETHER STILL TRYING TO GET YOUR INPUT ON EXACTLY WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE. THERE ARE A PEER SUPPORT GROUPS. WE'VE HAD IRVING POLICE DEPARTMENT COME OUT HERE. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PEER SUPPORT TEAM WITH PSYCHOLOGIST IN MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS ON STAFF THERE AND DIDN'T DOES ALSO AND AS LONG AS WE GET THEM SOME HELP RIGHT AWAY. BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO NOTIFY US WITHIN 24 HOURS THAT THEY THEY WANT TO LEAVE SO THEN THAT WAS REALLY MY POINT HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THIS PERSON TO HELP AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE
[00:10:03]
OUTSIDE OF LEGISLATIVE BUREAUCRACY MORE OR LESS WHAT WE DO IS CALLED PEER SUPPORT TEAM TO COME AND TALK TO THEM. AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME, SEEK ANOTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER.LET THEM SEEK. WHO WERE THEY WANT? THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL SPECIALIST IN MILITARY LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIREFIGHTING THINGS LIKE THAT. AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT OUR INSURANCE THAT WE OFFER OUR EMPLOYEES PACE FOR THIS RIGHT OR COVERS THAT I WOULD. I WOULD ASSUME IT WOULD.
YES UNITS BEGIN TO THE MIC. OH, OKAY? AND THEN JUST FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATED COSTS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS OR HOW OFTEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN OR. CAN YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON TRAUMATIC EVENTS THAT OCCUR IN OUR TOWN? WELL AS FAR AS TRAUMATIC EVENTS, SO I MEAN, WE'VE. WE'VE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL SUICIDES CAR CRASHES WHERE THERE'S DEATH INVOLVED. WE HAD ONE IN LATE JANUARY, WHERE WE HAD MY GRANDMOTHER AND A FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD KILLED. THERE'S BEEN INFANT DEATHS THAT WE'VE HAD TO RESPOND TO, UM.
EVEN EVEN GOING TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS OR SOMETHING INVOLVING CHILDREN IS VERY TRAUMATIC TO THE OFFICERS. AS FAR AS A COST. THE COST FOR MENTAL HEALTH VARIES. THEY'RE SLIDING SCALES AND MY WIFE'S MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL AND. THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT AVENUES THAT THEY CAN TAKE AS FAR AS COSTS AND I'M SURE OUR INSURANCE DOES COVER SOME OF IT. I MEAN, THERE MIGHT BE A COPAY. IF IT'S IF IT'S IF IT'S HEALTH RELATED, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING INTO. IT IS THE HEALTH IS THE COPAY GOING TO BE WAIVED. BECAUSE IT'S. SOMETHING THAT THE LEGISLATORS PASSED. AND WE'LL RESEARCH THAT AND GET THAT BACK TO COUNCIL AND REALLY I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN THE COST AND THAT YOU THINK THAT OVERALL COST MIGHT BE TO NORTH LIKE THE IMPACT. TO OUR BUDGET BASICALLY THAT'S I THINK IT'S NECESSARY.
BUT RIGHT? WELL, IT'S HARD TO DETERMINE THAT BECAUSE. IF NOBODY USES IT, AND THERE'S NOT MANY COSTS BUT IF 10 PEOPLE USE IT, AND THERE MIGHT BE A SIGNIFICANT CAR, SO I JUST KIND OF A CASE BY CASE BASIS. I MEAN, WE'LL TRY TO GET YOU ARRANGE UH OR THE COUNCIL RANGE OF WHAT THOSE COSTS MIGHT BE. THE OTHER QUESTIONS. COUNSELORS COME HERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL START OUR PUBLIC INPUT ONE PERSON SIGNED

BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1ST AND ENDING ON SEPTEMBER 30TH FOR TOWN, NORTH LAKE. SURE. GUYS WANTED TO BRING IT UP A MEETING EARLY HERE IT IS. REMEMBER THE FOUR BIG POINTS KEEP THEIR TAX RATE AT 29 A HALF CENTS. INVEST IN. OUR INFRASTRUCTURE TO MAINTAIN THAT BALANCE OF COMMERCIAL TAX BASE VERSUS RESIDENTIAL TAX BASE, GET OUR EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION TO THE MIDDLE OF THE MARKET. THE LABOR MARKET IN THIS AREA. AND CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN SERVICE LEVELS IN ORDER TO DO THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO ADD POSITIONS POPULATION HAS INCREASED ALMOST 50. THE STAFFING IS. ALMOST 20% INCREASE THAT SEEMS VERY LARGE. BUT IN RELATIVE TO THE POPULATION INCREASE, IT'S NOT AS MUCH. BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THE BUDGET I THINK IT'S EIGHT MEETING WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS. WE'VE BROKEN IT DOWN INTO VARIOUS SEGMENTS AND, UH. BE GLAD TO BE GLAD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. BEFORE WE GO PUBLIC HEARING AS IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS WE CAN ENTERTAIN. THOSE DO HAVE A QUICK QUESTION IN GOING OVER ALL THESE DOCUMENTS AND THIS COUNCIL PACKET HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE STAFF TO RESIDENT RATIO IN A LOT OF TOWNS. DO YOU HAVE THOSE AND I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT THROUGH. BUT IS THERE A KIND OF A NORM? IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR GROWTH. IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH, UH SALES TAX IT DEPENDS ON WHAT COUNSEL WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEIR FOCUS. I'VE SEEN IT. 300 UM.ONE EMPLOYEE FOR EVERY 300 RESIDENTS UH TO 500 RESIDENTS AND IT VARIES ROANOKE IS GOING TO BE, UM PROBABLY OVERSTATED THEY'VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF SALES TAX. THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF RETAIL ACTIVITY. UM YOU KNOW, SOME TOWNS YOU KNOW, NORTHLAKE IS GOING TO BE ON THE ON THE LOW END OF THOSE EMPLOYEES PER RESIDENT WE PROVIDED THAT IN PREVIOUS BRIEFINGS WE CAN WE CAN PULL THAT UP AND I CAN I CAN GET THAT TO YOU I DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I WOULD SAY. THAT WE ARE LAGGING BEHIND OTHER UH, OTHER CITIES IN GENERAL UH, BECAUSE WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE FIRE. WE DON'T DO THOSE THINGS IF WE JUST IF WE ISOLATED FOR POLICE, PUBLIC WORKS AND DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION, I THINK WE'D BE. WILL PROBABLY BELOW OTHER COMMUNITIES AS WELL. RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN SUCH A FAST GROWTH RATE THAT WE CANNOT OBVIOUSLY, WE CANNOT KEEP UP. WITH THAT 50% GROWTH THAT AND WE COULDN'T ONBOARD THAT MANY EMPLOYEES WE COULDN'T WE'RE AT 53 RIGHT NOW. AND WE DID 50% MAYBE 25 EMPLOYEES WE DON'T HAVE A SPACE WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO ON BOARD THAT MANY EMPLOYEES. SO I APOLOGIZE I'M DANCING AROUND I'M NOT ANSWERING QUESTION DIRECTLY BECAUSE I DON'T I DON'T HAVE THAT THOSE NUMBERS IN THERE, BUT I WE CAN GET THOSE TO YOU AND I WOULD. I WOULD, UH I WOULD BELIEVE THAT WE'RE. EITHER BELOW OR OR, UM. AROUND THE SAME NUMBER AS OTHER COMMUNITIES AND KEEP IN MIND WE WOULD HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR SERVICES THAT WE DON'T RENDER THAT ANOTHER TOWN WOULD RENDERED LIKE A LIBRARY OR A RECREATIONAL CENTER SOME PLACE YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW WE'VE GOT A LOW NUMBER BUT IT'S BECAUSE OF THOSE REASONS FOR ME TO IN APPLES AND APPLES TO ROMAN UP. THAT'S GOT ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WOULDN'T THAT WOULDN'T BE A FAIR COMPARISON FOR THEM. SO, UH, YEAH, WE HAVEN'T REALLY DUG DOWN AS FAR AS SERVICES TO SERVICES. UH, MHM. LET'S SEE. ARGO. HOW MANY OFFICERS DO YOU THINK OUR GOAL HAS? AND WE HAVE. AND HOW MANY DO WE HAVE? YEAH. SO WE'RE WE'RE ABOUT, UM. ALMOST TWICE ARGYLE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TWICE THE OFFICERS. PLUS WE PROVIDE POLICE SERVICES FOR HARVEST AND CORRAL CITY SO. DON'T THAT'S JUST THAT'S JUST ISOLATING POLICE. UM. WE'RE PROBABLY EQUAL TO ARGEL. IN PUBLIC WORKS WHERE WE PROBABLY HAVE MORE PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEES. THEY DON'T HAVE A WATER SYSTEM THEY JUST HAVE A SEWER SYSTEM IN ROADS WE HAVE WATER, SEWER AND ROADS. JOHN, DID YOU HAVE THE UTILITIES? IT'S HARVEST THAT'S GONNA TURN ALIVE. AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING WE'D HAVE TO ISOLATE FOR HARVEST BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT POPULATION BUT THEY ARE CUSTOMERS AND WE HAVE TO STAFF UP OUR WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM TO HANDLE ALL THOSE WATER METER RATE WATER METER
[00:25:02]
INSTALLS SO. SORRY I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YEAH. OKAY? I JUST WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE STAFF'S HARD WORK ON THE BUDGET. UM IT'S VERY RETAIL THIS YEAR IT'S VERY EASY TO READ EASY FOR PUBLIC TO DIGEST I ALSO THANK THE MAYOR FOR ALL HIS EFFORTS WITH STAFF AND GETTING TO THAT POINT I KNOW IT'S A CHALLENGE TO CHANGE HOW WE REPORT THINGS. BUT IT'S FOR BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY. I APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORT. WITH THAT, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE, I WILL START THE PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING OUR BUDGET. AS ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK ON THAT. IT IS 5 56 AS I OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY AND SEEING NONE. 5 56. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[5G. Consider for approval an ordinance of the Town Council of the Town of Northlake, Texas fixing and levying municipal ad valorem taxes on all taxable property within the corporate limits of the Town of Northlake, Texas for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2021 and ending September 30, 2022 at the rate of $0.295000 per one hundred dollars ($100.00) and for directing the assessment thereof; providing for a date on which such taxes become due and delinquent together with penalties and interest thereon; providing for a place of payment; providing for approval of the tax rolls presented to the Town Council]
ORDINANCE A TOWN OF THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR A TOWN NORTH LAKE. FIXING AND LIVIA MUNICIPAL ALARM TAXES ON ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY WE'RE SETTING THE TAX RATE IN THIS KEEPING WITH THE SAME 29 A HALF CENT RATE THAT WE'VE HAD FOR OVER 20 YEARS, DREW PRETTY WELL SET AT ALL.THIS WILL FUND. OPERATIONS OF THE TOWN HAS LAID OUT IN THE BUDGET WILL PROVIDE FOR THE MARKET ADJUSTMENT PROVIDE FOR THE NEW POSITIONS PROVIDE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE WITH HIS TAX RATE. USING THE DOMINICA'S RATE. WE WERE ABLE TO LOWER THE PROPORTION OF THE TAX RATE FOR A DEBT TO, UM MHM. 42% WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY 50% AND FOR OPERATIONS FROM 50% TO 58% SO THIS WILL FUND UH. THIS THIS PROPERTY TAX RATE IS A LARGE PORTION OF OUR REVENUE BUT, UH FOR OUR GENERAL FUND, BUT IT IS NOT IT IS IT IS OVERALL, PROBABLY ALL REVENUES. IT'S.
MAYBE LESS THAN 10. IT'S STILL A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR REVENUE STREAM. COUNSELORS ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY, IT IS 5 59 PM AND OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM G. ANYBODY WISHES SPEAK. AND IS 5 59 PM AND I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT, COUNSELORS IF ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION WE HAVE TO READ THIS VERBATIM. MAY I MAKE A STATEMENT QUICKLY ABSOLUTELY UM, WE RECEIVE SOMETHING FROM THE ITALIAN MINISTRY ER VIA EMAIL AND THAT LAID OUT THE NUMBER OF YEARS THAT WE HAVE RAISED TAXES VIA THIS NOW ON CHANGING. 0.295% TAX RATE AND IT IT REALLY IS AN INCREASE IN
[00:30:08]
TAXES ON OUR CITIZENS AND JUST FROM THE GRAPH THAT HE SENT TODAY WHICH I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE HIM GETTING TO US. WE'VE RAISED TAXES 12.31% 6.96% 8.5% ON OUR CITIZENS AND I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF CITIZENS CONTACT ME AND SAY. YOUR TAXING US OUT OF OUR HOME UM WE'VE HAD A CITIZEN RIGHT IN AND I BELIEVE ALL THE, UH THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL HERE WERE COPIED ON THAT EMAIL ABOUT POSSIBLY FREEZING THE TAX WRITE FOR THOSE WHO ARE OVER 65. I JUST THINK THAT. WE NEED TO BE CONSERVATIVE AND PRUDENT IN OUR EXPENDITURES AND I THINK RAISING THE TAX RATE YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR ON PEOPLE IS UNSUSTAINABLE AND WANTS THIS HIGH GROWTH. CEASES. WE'RE GOING TO BE STUCK WITH. THESE TAX RATES THAT ARE THAT ARE BURDENSOME AND ONEROUS ON PEOPLE AND THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I COULD NOT VOTE FOR THE BUDGET AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS RAISING TAXES ON PEOPLE, AND I KNOW IT'S A FUNCTION OF. PROPERTY VALUATION THAT'S DENTON COUNTY BUT WE HAVE TO OFFER OUR PEOPLE SOME RELIEF AND IF THAT MEANS WE DROP OUR TAX, WRITE THE ACTUAL 0.295. THAT'S WHAT I'M IN FAVOR OF. SO. WELCOME I'LL JUST ADD TO THAT I THINK THE COUNT VERY PRODUCT COUNCIL LAST YEAR FOR INTRODUCING THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AT 20% TO HELP WITH THAT FOR OUR RESIDENTS UM AND AS MISS HARMON SAID, IT IS A FUNCTION DENT IN CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICTS. UH, OF WHICH THERE IS NO. NO HIDING MY DISDAIN FOR THEM AND HOW THEY DO THEIR PROCESSES HOWEVER WITH OUR TOWN EXPANDING AND ARE. COSTS EXPANDING I THINK STAFF HAS DONE AND THEY COULD VERY EASILY ASK FOR A TAX INCREASE TO FUND THE BUDGET BECAUSE WE NEED THE EXTRA PERSONNEL BUT THEY MAKE DO WITH WHAT LITTLE WE'RE ABLE TO GIVE THEM. AND I'M VERY PROUD OF OUR STAFF FOR THAT AS WELL. BUT TO YOUR POINT I AGREE. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHY WE'VE DONE THINGS LIKE HOMES. THE EXEMPTION FOR OUR OUR CITIZENS. MAYOR YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS SO MUCH. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE WE TAKE TAKE MOTIONS.APPRECIATE THAT. NECESSITY. MANY YEARS LONG BEFORE. OKAY? SOMETIMES STRAIGHT. AND STUFF.

[5H. Appointment of CIP Advisory Committee]
ADVISORY COMMITTEE. AND DREW. I KNOW THAT WE WENT THROUGH THIS A LITTLE BIT LAST TIME COUNCIL SAID THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT JUST A BIT, BUT MY TOUCH. UNCLEAR ON OUR OKAY? ACTUALLY MAKING OUR MOTION TONIGHT BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE. MAYBE IT'S FOR THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION IT IS IT IS UH IN AN EARLIER EMAIL PROVIDED YOU WITH SOME PAST ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT WAS WHEN, WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE A P N Z. WE'VE, UH. CONFIRMED WITH ACTUALLY OUR ATTORNEY THAT THE PEAK THE CURRENT P N Z CAN SERVE AS ADVISORY COMMITTEE UM THERE IS THAT REPRESENTATION IF YOU DO A AT HAWK ADVISORY COMMITTEE. IT NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST FIVE AND 40. OF ITS 52 OF THE FIVE NEED TO REPRESENT THE REAL ESTATE. DEVELOPMENT OR BUILDING INDUSTRIES, AND SO UM YEAH. BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IT IS TOTALLY UH, THE COUNCIL'S DECISION ON WHO THEY APPOINT AND I'M SORRY MAYOR PRO TEM. THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE.ENGINEERS THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE, UH. PEOPLE THAT THE OUR ENGINEERS THE NEXT ITEM THEY'RE GONNA WALK HIM THROUGH THAT WHAT THIS GROUP WILL DO WAS THEY'LL LOOK AT THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND ARE THEY REASONABLE YEAH I THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AS A AS A RESIDENT. SOMEBODY THAT'S IN THE AREA. SOMEBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH THIS INDUSTRY. I BELIEVE THOSE LINES USE ASSUMPTIONS ARE CORRECT WE DON'T SEE GROWTH IN THIS AREA. WE SEE GROWTH IN THAT AREA. BUT THE ENGINEER WILL DEVELOP THAT USING UM USING WHAT INFORMATION WE HAVE FROM COG OTHER TRENDS AND IN THAT GROUP, THAT CITIZEN GROUP WILL THEN UM. VERIFY THOSE THE OUR ENGINEERS WILL ALSO DEVELOP A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND LOOK AT THE AREAS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR CONSTRUCTION. FIRST, THEY'LL ASK THAT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. YOU LIVE HERE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON? IS THAT A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT THESE REAL ROADS WILL BE BUILT OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS AND THEN THAT GROUP WILL DO THAT. SO THERE'S NO THERE'S NO EXPERTISE NEEDED ON THIS GROUP IT'S JUST PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED THAT ARE PLUGGED IN THAT ARE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND IF COUNSELORS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNS OR INPUT TO THIS PROCESS IS OUR MECHANISM FOR THAT. THEY SPEAK TO WHOEVER WE APPOINT OR. YOU'RE FREE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THAT COMMITTEE THERE WILL BE, UM, AT LEAST THERE'LL BE A PUBLIC HEARING. AND PROBABLY WILL DO AN EARLY VERSION OF THIS TO THE COUNCIL MORE IN A BRIEFING STYLE SO THE COUNCIL WILL BE INVOLVED BUT OBVIOUSLY COUNCIL CAN HAVE ONE ON ONE CONVERSATIONS WITH THIS. WITH THIS COMMITTEE AND IF IT'S A P N Z, WE ALREADY KNOW WHO THOSE ARE, IF YOU APPOINT SOMEBODY, WE'LL TRACK THEM DOWN. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS AD HOC COMMITTEE IS THEY MAY OR MAY NOT. BE AVAILABLE OR SO THAT MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, BUT WE'RE GLAD TO
[00:40:02]
RESEARCH ANY OF THOSE APPOINTMENTS. I'M SURE THE MAYOR MAY HAVE A COMMENT HERE, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE MUCH APPROPRIATE AS THE RULES ALLOW US TO USE OUR P N. Z AND R PNG IS QUALIFIED ALREADY VERIFIED BY LEGAL. WE HAVE PEOPLE WE'VE PUT IN THE SEATS ALREADY THAT HOPEFULLY US AS A COUNCIL OF TRUST TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS IN THOSE ROLES, AND WE KNOW THEM TO A DEGREE. THAT'S THAT'S MY THOUGHTS ON THIS. MERRY DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING BEFORE I TURNED OVER COUNCIL? A FORMER IS THAT WERE SHARED WITH US. A LOT OF RESOURCES. ST. HAVE SAID. THESE ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THEIR PART TOWARDS YES. CITIZENS HERE ON THIS BOARD. REFLECTION OF HER PLANS ARE MHM. STEP FORWARD RATHER THAN CONTINUE TO USE RESOURCES LIKE BEHIND THE PAST.IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S SO I. HE COULD BE. YEAH. COUNSELORS. WHAT'S THE WORKLOAD INCREASE? JUST THIS FROM NOW AND THROUGH DECEMBER THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AN INCREASED WORKLOAD ON THE PNC. DO YOU THINK TWO MEETINGS? THEY'RE ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR A MEETING. UM WELL. GIVE NATHAN THE NIGHT OFF. UM TUESDAY. THE. IS THE 31ST THEY ALREADY HAVING A MEETING SO WILL EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT TO THEM. THEY MEET MONTHLY SO WE'LL TRY TO HIT THEIR NORMAL MEETING TIMES. AND SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO MM. HOPEFULLY IN A MONTH WE'LL HAVE SOME DRAFT LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND THEN MAYBE THE THIRD MEETING. UH THEY'LL BE ABLE TO APPROVE THOSE OR WE COULD EVEN WORK VIA EMAIL. SO, UH, YOU CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL MEETINGS IT'LL JUST BE ANOTHER ITEM ON THEIR EXISTING MEETINGS. HAS ANYONE SPOKEN TO THEM ABOUT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO DO THIS? I'M JUST CURIOUS THAT NO ONE'S GIVEN US ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. NO. SO WE'RE JUST WE'RE GONNA. THEY TELL THEM TO DO IT IT'S WITHIN YOUR PURVIEW, OK? IT'S KIND OF WITHIN THEIR WHEELHOUSE OF THINGS THAT THEY KIND OF SIGNED UP FOR. THAT'S TRUE, AND IT'S IN THE LEGISLATION SO IT'S YEAH, THE LEGISLATION ALREADY UM. KIND OF A TEST TO THAT CONNECTION AND THEY'RE THEY'RE SEEING DEVELOPMENT THEY'RE LOOKING AT THOSE TYPES OF THINGS SO AGAIN. THIS IS ABOUT. THIS IS WHAT'S COMING. DO YOU THINK THAT'S REASONABLE SO IT YOU'RE RIGHT COUNCIL COUNCILLOR BORDER IT KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE PLANNING AND ZONING. ALRIGHT WITH ANY MORE DISCUSSION. DO I HAVE A IS THIS ACTUALLY EMOTION? OKAY.

FOR SOMETHING? JUST JUST AN ASIDE ON THAT PREVIOUS ITEM. YOU KNOW, THEY DO ALL THE PLANTS THAT YOU PUT ON THEM SO THIS WILL ACTUALLY BE. I THINK A GOOD PROJECT FOR THEM.PLATFORM MINISTERIAL THIS THIS THEY GET TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INPUT SELF.

BUT REGARDLESS HALF IS VERY CAPABLE THEY'VE DONE THIS FORCE BEFORE THEY HAVE ASSEMBLED A TEAM THAT'S GOING TO, UM, WALK US THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND THEY'VE DONE IT FOR MANY OTHER OF THE OTHER CLIENTS.
