[1. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL]
[00:00:03]
MR. ROCKWELL.I WANT TO SET THE STAGE QUICKLY.
GENERAL MANAGER WERE ABLE TO WE WILL FOLLOW UP AND GIVE YOU CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR NEXT YEAR.
WE'LL TAKE THE REMAINING TIME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND WE CAN DO THAT UNTIL THE 5:00 MEETIN IF THAT'S YOUR DESIRE.
[4.a. City / Indio Water Authority / Indio Housing Authority Recommended Operating and Capital Improvement Budget for FY 2021-22 (Rob Rockwell, Assistant City Manager & Director of Finance and Trish Rhay, IWA General Manager)]
I WILL ASK TRISH IF SHE'S READY.GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS.
THANK FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE 2021 '22 RECOMMENDED IWA OPERATING CAPITAL BUDGET.
YOU MAY NOTICE THAT THE GOAL FOR THE BUDGET AS WE DEVELOPED IT STAYED THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.
A LOT OF THE CONDITIONS ARE STILL THE SAME.
WE'RE NOT IN THE DEAD HEAT OF COVID WE'RE IN RECOVERY AND WE WANT TO PROTECT CUSTOMERS.
BUT WHILE ENSURING CONTINUE SUPPORT.
WE WILL START OUT WITH REVENUES.
AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOARD, REVENUES WERE PROTECTING AS UP SLIGHTLY ABOUT 3.5%.
THE MAJOR CHANGES IN THESE ARE WATER UTILITY PAYMENTS CONTINUE TO GROW WHICH WAS OUR SURPRISE LAST YEAR.
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DEVELOP.
BUT A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE STAYING HOME AND THEN YOU HAVE COMMUNITY THAT'S 80% RESIDENTIAL YOU SEE THE IMPACT OF THAT.
ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE IMPLEMENTING HAVE INCLUDED IN THIS A BUMP IN THE WATER REPLENISHMENT ASSESSMENT CHARGE.
IT'S GOING UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING I BELIEVE NEXT WEEK.
BUT WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT IT WILL LIKELY PASS.
AND THAT WILL BE TAKING IT ABOUT DOUBLE WHAT IT IS FROM 66 TO 72 AN ACRE FOOT.
THAT AGAIN IS JUST A STRAIGHT PASS THROUGH.
ADDITIONALLY THERE'S 600% INCREASE BUT IT IS PRESIDENT REALLY.
WHAT WE DID THIS YEAR WE ACTUALLY FORECASTED WHAT WE BELIEVE TRULY GOING TO HAPPEN BASED ON HISTORICAL PATTERNS IN INTEREST RATES.
WE WERE BEING CAUTIOUS IN YEARS PAST BUT I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT AND BE ABLE ACCOUNT FOR THAT.
ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE GONE UP SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT.
I WILL WALK YOU WHAT THROUGH THE DIFFERENCES ARE.
WE ARE FORECASTING THIS YEAR THIS COMING YEAR WE WILL SPEND ABOUT 25 MILLION DOLLARS.
THE BIGGEST INCREASES IN THIS ARE THE CIP.
AND THIS THE BASED ON THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLAN WE PRESENTED
[00:10:50]
LAST OCTOBER.[00:11:41]
WE'RE STARTING TO BUILDUP.AS YOU REMEMBER FROM THAT OUR CIP GIVEN THE OTHER PROJECTS THE WATER
[00:17:22]
RECOMMENDATION PROJECT WE WILL SEE RAMP UP SLOWLY.FEES AND CHARGES, ARE UP SLIGHTLY.
[00:30:51]
AND THAT IS DUE TO SOME ADDITIONAL THE PASS THROUGH AS WELL FOR RACK AND THEN[00:39:10]
TWEAKS IN THE ATTORNEY KIND OF SUPPORT SERVICES.[00:39:55]
THE OTHER LARGE JUMP IS VEHICLE REPLACEMENT.[00:40:34]
UP 25%.[00:40:46]
WE'RE BUYING THE SAME AMOUNT OF VEHICLES AS LAST YEAR, HOWEVER WE HAVE A LARGE DUMP TRUCK ADDED WHICH ADDED ABOUT 100,000 MORE TO ONE OF THE VEHICLES.[00:45:29]
>> ON THE LINE THAT SAYS TRANSFERS OUT.
1.3 PROPOSED 4.1 AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TRANSFER OUT MEANS.
TRANSFER OUT IS TRANSFERS -- I APOLOGIZE FOR CIP.
WE HAVE A LINE-ITEM TRACTOR PERFORMANCE ON CIP.
THAT IS DIRECT INTO FUND A-12 NOW.
TO BE ABLE TO TRACK FOR THE CIP.
[00:50:29]
BUT IF YOU NOTICE THE OPERATING REVENUE IS ABOUT MILLION LESS THAN
[00:56:24]
EXPENDITURE FOR THIS COMING YEAR.IF YOU GO BACK TO OUR OCTOBER DISCUSSION ON THE LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLAN,
[01:00:40]
THAT WAS THE CONSCIOUS DECISION.WE KNEW THAT IN THE LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLAN WE COULD HAVE USED A RATE
[01:05:24]
INCREASE THIS YEAR.BUT WE FELT WITH THE UNCERTAINTY CONTINUING AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE PROJECTS AND UNDERSTANDING THEM THAT WE MOVE THE INCREASE PROPOSAL TO 22.3.
[01:10:33]
THIS THE PLANNED.WE KNEW WE WERE GOING TO LIKELY EXPEND MORE THAN WE HAVE.
[01:15:05]
WE CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 28 MILLION IN U NFUNDED -- UNALLOCATED FUNDS.[01:20:49]
IT ALSO WAS BUILT INTO THE PLAN.WHILE WE COUNTED ON UNALLOCATED FUNDS TO SUPPORT FUTURE CIP.
AND THIS THE REALLY THE FUND THAT TAKES CARE OF OUR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.
[01:25:42]
WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO ADD SUPPLY.WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO ADD CAPACITY PER SE.
ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES IT HAPPENED WITH THIS.
IT'S NOT THE INTENT OF THE PROJECT.
IT'S SIMPLY TO KEEP THE SYSTEM WE HAVE IN PLACE GOING.
NO DEVELOPER FEES PAY FOR THIS.
THIS IS ALL OUT OF THE REPAIR FUND.
THERE ARE KIND OF THREE CATEGORIES OF PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING OUT THIS YEAR.
ONE MAINTENANCE UPGRADE OF PUMP STATION MAKING SURE WE HAVE THE BOOSTSTER BUMPS WE NEED AND AS THINGS ARE WEARING OUT.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF LARGE PIPELINE REPLACEMENT.
THIS IT WAS ONE DAMAGED THROUGH THE STORM.
WE'RE LOOKING AT REPLACING THAT ONE AS WELL AS MILES AVENUE PIPELINE WE IS CREATING A BETTER LOOK FOR US IN OUR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AS WELL AS PROTECTION AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
THE GOOD NEWS ON THIS PROJECT AND NUMBER NINE WHICH IS THE RESIN.
WE FOUND A GRANT THAT WE WILL BE APPLYING FOR.
IT COULD BE UP TO $200,000 FOR NEW AND IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENT TREATMENT PROCESSES.
SO WE CAN HAVE THE CHANCE OF GETTING THAT.
AND MAINTENANCE SMALL LITTLE THINGS.
WE HAVE LOT OF THEM OUT THERE.
WE FEED TO DO A FEW EVERY YEAR.
THE PART CLOSEST TO JEFFERSON AND MILES AND IT WILL GO ACROSS A DISTANCE APPROXIMATELY JUST OVER THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE T COMPLETE THAT LOOP.
I GOES EAST ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE.
>> THE SUPPLEMENTAL WATER SUPPLY.
THIS THE MONEY THAT WE GATHERED FROM DEVELOPERS AND THEY CONNECT IN METERS AND MORE FOR QUANTITY OF WATER.
SO THIS IS SLOWLY DEDICATED RIGHT NOW TO THE EAST VALLEY RECLAYMATION PROJECT THAT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.
YEAR WILL BE A LOT OF REGULATORY NEGOTIATIONS GETTING THE REGULATORS ON THE LINE AND ON THE SAME PAGE WITH US WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO GET APPROVAL.
THOSE TYPES OF THINGS AS WELL AS THE NEXT STEP IN THE KIND OF FEASIBILITY PLAN FOR IT.
WE'RE DOING GOOD WORK WHEN WE GET TO BUILDING WE KNOW WE'RE BUILDING IT RIGHT.
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE THAT ARE COLLECTED.
THE WATER SUPPLY FEE IS FOR NEW WATER SUPPLY JUST THE WATER ITSELF IN THE IMPACT FEES ARE FOR THE IMPACTS THAT DEVELOPERS HAVE OUTSIDE THEIR LOCALIZED DEVELOPMENTS.
THEY BUILD THE PIPES FOR THEIR PROJECT.
BUT THEIR DEMAND ALSO PUTS ADD THEM UP WITH EVERY OTHER DEVELOPER.
PUT THE DEMANDS ON THE PIPE THAT'S FIVE MILES AWAY.
THIS ALLOWS US TO HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR THAT TYPE OF PROGRAM AS WELL.
THIS YEAR WE ARE FOCUSING ON NEW WELL THIS WAS FORMALLY KNOWN AS THE CALHOUN WELL.
HOWEVER IN OUR FIRST STAGES WE FOUND CALHOUN MIGHT NOT BE THE OPTIMAL PLACE TO PUT THAT.
WE ARE NOW LOOKING AT THE BEST SITE LOCATION FOR A NEW WELL TO MAKE SURE WE GET OPTIMAL WATER QUALITY WE CAN OUT OF THAT WELL.
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL/AUTHORITY REVIEW THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET.
PROVIDE ME WHATEVER DIRECTION YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO SEE THE CHANGE OR ADD OR SUBTRACT.
AND THEN POTENTIALLY ADOPT THE BUDGET.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> THANK YOU, TRISH FOR THE BUDGET DETAILING ON IT.
HOW MUCH ARE WE GOING UP AND HOW MUCH DO WE BRING IN ON AN ANNUAL BASIS?
>> I KNOW WHAT THE LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLAN SAID ABOUT 5.5% A YEAR FOR 7 YEARS.
BUT WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS ALSO LOOKING AT THE RATE STRUCTURE WHICH WE DISCUSSED WITH COUNCIL AND DOING A STUDY.
WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING THAT FIRST ROUND OF IT BACK TO YOU SOMEWHERE LATE SUMMER.
AND THEN WE'LL GO ON WITH THAT.
WHILE IT IS AN OVERALL 5.5%, IT MAY LOOK DIFFERENT EACH CUSTOMER CLASS DEPENDING ON WHAT THE RATE STRUCTURE THAT WE END UP.
>> YOU FEEL IT WILL COVER YOUR DEFICIT.
WE'LL HAVE -- WE WILL HAVE FUNDING REQUIRED TO COVER OUR EXPENSES.
>> IT ALSO THE GOAL TO START BUILDING.
BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES OUT IN THE FUTURE.
THAT'S ALSO GOING TO INCLUDE BOND FUNDING WHICH IS GOING TO HELP BRING BACK TO YOU COUNCILMEMBER HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT CAN WE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THE BONDING.
WE WILL BRING THOSE OPTIONS BACK AS WELL.
THE LAST ONE ON THE IF I DOESN'T FALL FORWARD.
WHICH I'M ALSO HOPING MY HOPE IS THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE THOSE TWO PROJECTS.
ONE THE PILOT STUDY FOR THE RESIN.
THEN BUILDING THE TREATMENT FOR WHATEVER STANDARD COMES OUT WHENEVER IT COMES OUT.
IF IT COMES OUT AT THE SAME STANDARD, IT WILL BE 32 MILLION DOLLARS.
IF IT COMES OUT AT HIGHER STANDARD, IT COULD BE LESS.
WE'RE ALSO WORKING CLOSELY WITH REGULATORS CDW TO LOOK AT OTHER TECHNOLOGIES CHEAPER WHICH COULD SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAT 32 MILLION DOLLARS.
WHICH THEN AGAIN WOULD HAVE ANOTHER IMPACT ON THAT.
>>> WHEN DOES THE GRANT COME DUE?
>> THE LETTER OF INTEREST AND FIRST APPLICATION GOES IN, IN JUNE.
WE'LL KNOW -- IT'S YOU'LL HAVE 18 MONTHS TO SPEND IT.
I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE LIT IT WILL LINE UP.
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO A STUDY FIRST.
AS SOON AS WE GET THE MONEY, WE ARE READY TO SPEND IT.
>> WE REACHED OUT TO LEGISLATORS GARCIA, CHASE? WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW AREAS WHERE CHROMIUM IS PRESENT.
HE COULD PROBABLY HELP US GET THE GRANT.
IF WE COULD GET THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU MISS RAY FOR THE PRESENTATION ON THE ANNUAL BUDGET.
MOST EXCITINGLY IS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET OF ALL THE EXCITING PROJECTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
I JUST HAVE A LITTLE QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S JUST CAUGHT MY EYE.
IT'S A VERY SMALL LITTLE ITEM.
BUT WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLOTHING AND UNIFORM ALLOWANCE? IN THE LINE ITEM THEMSELVES?
>> BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN CLOTHING SHOWS UP ON PRODUCTION LINE ITEM.
IT'S INCREASED ON THE WATER DISTRICT FROM 200 TO 2000 AND GONE AWAY IN ENGINEERING.
IT USED TO BE LITTLE AMOUNT NOW I'M BONDERING WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLOTHING AND UNIFORM ALLOWANCE, WHICH IT'S ON TOP.
>> THIS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN CLEANING AND PURCHASING.
WITH THE CLOTHING ALLOWANCE, THAT'S LIKE NORMALLY THINGS THAT WE WOULD BUY LIKE SHIRTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND ITEMS THAT ARE FOR THE EMPLOYEES FOR THE UNIFORM ALLOWANCE, THAT ACTUALLY COMES THROUGH THE PAYROLL DEPARTMENT AND THEY DO THE ALLOWANCE AS PART OF THEIR COMPENSATION.
IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION -- >> IT DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION.
THEY ARE GETTING CLOTHING AUALLOWANCE PLUS WE BUY THEM CLOTHING.
THESE ARE FOR SPECIAL ITEMS LIKE SHIRTS, THAT WILL BE USED FOR LIKE CASUAL DAY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES NOT JUST CERTAIN EMPLOYEES.
>> AND ALSO THERE ARE REQUIRING FOR LIKE STEEL TOED SHOES.
WE HAVE TO PURCHASE SAFETY SHOES FOR THE STAFF.
>> I UNDERSTAND UNIFORM ALLOWANCE.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE AGREED UPON A LONG TIME AGO.
BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S A CLOTHING LINE ITEM AND THAT JUST DOESN'T -- EITHER IT'S NOT CLASSIFIED CORRECTLY OR I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS WE'RE
[01:30:01]
BUYING?>> I CAN DPI GIVE YOU MORE DETAIL ON.
THE UNIFORM ALLOWANCE WOULD NOT BE IN UNIFORM ALLOWANCE.
THAT WOULD BE A SEPARATE EXPENSE.
>> I THINK WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT.
UNIFORM ALLOWANCE IS THE WHOLE ALLOWANCE FOR STEEL TOED SHOES AND EVERYTHING.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE BUY SEPARATE.
YOU SEE STEEL-TOED SHOES IT SHOULDN'T BE CALLED CLOTHING.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT OR SOMETHING.
IT'S NOT AN EXPENSE TO THE DEPARTMENT, WHICH I THINK IT'S MISCLASSIFIED.
IT'S SOMETHING THE EMPLOYEE WILL USE AND KEEP.
WE DON'T ASK THEM BACK FOR THE SHOES TEN YEARS LATER.
AND THE REASON IT STOOD OUT BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S A NEW BUCKET AMOUNT IN THE PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT AND THE WATER DISTRIBUTION DEPARTMENT ONE FROM $200 TO 3,000 AND ENGINEERING WENT FROM $200 TO ZERO.
WE NEED TO FIND THE CORRECT CLASSIFICATION.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A DEPARTMENT EXPENSE IF IT'S STRICTLY FOR THE EMPLOYEE'S USE.
SHOULDN'T IT BE PART OF UNIFORM ALLOWANCE? OR SOMETHING THAT THE EMPLOYEE PAYS FOR THEMSELVES AND THEY GET TO WRITE OFF AN UNREIMBURSED EMPLOYEE EXPENSE.
IT SHOULDN'T BE A CITY DEPARTMENT EXPENSE.
WE WILL HAVE TO GET THAT CLEAR.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS.
I WOULD LIKE TO START OFF BY THANKING THE TEAM THAT HELPED ME WITH THE APPROPRIATION OF THIS BUDGET AND CARRYING OUT ALL OF THE EXECUTION OF ALL OF THESE PROJECTS.
THAT INCLUDE, CITY ENGINEER, RAISE YOUR HAND.
CIVIL ENGINEER, WE HAVE OF COURSE, JOSHUA NICKERSON WHO IS ONE OF THOSE THAT HELP US WITH THE PROJECTS.
AND, OF COURSE, MIKE WHO IS NOT HERE.
AND SPECIAL THANKS TO THOMMY WHO HELP US MAKE THE STORM MAP.
WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY IS ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE WORKING ON FOR NEXT YEAR.
A LOT OF THE PROJECTS WILL NOT GO BACK AND SUMMARIZE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS.
FEEL FREE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
THE FIRST ONE IS OUR SEISMIC JACKSON BRIDGE SEISMIC RETROFIT.
BEFORE WE COMPLETED THAT PROJECT, WE HAVE TO KEEP IT ON THE BOOKS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS, BECAUSE WE HAVE MONITORING WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO.
AND THEN THE NEXT PROJECT WHICH IS THE INDIO BOULEVARD SOUTHBOUND RAILROAD.
AND THEN WE HAVE INDIO BOULEVARD NORTHBOUND.
THE SOUTHBOUND OVER HERE IS THE ONE THAT WE WANT COMPLETED BY JEFFERSON STREET.
AS YOU ALL KNOW WE ARE IN NEGOTIATION WITH THE CONTRACTOR.
THEN WE HAVE INDIO BOULEVARD SOUTH AND NORTH AND THOSE ARE BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS ARE SEISMIC.
THEN WE HAVE AVENUE 44 BRIDGE OVER THE STORMWATER CHANNEL.
THAT'S A PROJECT WE'RE WORKING ON FOR QUITE SOMETIME.
AND THAT IN ITSELF A LITTLE BIT OVER 30 MILLION PROJECT.
THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL IS JUST SLIGHTLY OVER 1 MILLION DOLLARS.
THE REST OF IT WILL BE PICKED UP BY THE FEDS AND CITY AND BY CVSCC.
>> THEN WE MOVE TO MADISON STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
WHERE THE FRUIT STAND IS WE WILL WIDEN IT AND OPEN IT UP.
SO PEOPLE WILL STOP CUTTING ACROSS FRUIT STAND AND ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM.
THAT'S THE 7.8 MILLION PROJECT.
AND THEY WILL BE BETTER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> RANCHO LOSS -- LOS COYOTES.
THAT'S A PROJECT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
WE WILL START THE DESIGN AND BREAK GROUND NEXT YEAR.
AND THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OVER A 1,600,000 OVERALL.
ANOTHER PROJECT DEER TO EVERYONE'S HEART.
AVENUE 50 WIDENING FROM JEFFERSON TO JACKSON.
IT'S ALMOST 30 MILLION IN TOTAL.
THAT WILL TAKE US FEW YEARS TO EXECUTE.
I HOPE WE WILL NOT RUN INTO ALL THE ISSUES THAT WE RAN DO ON MADISON STREET.
THERE WILL BE RIGHT OF WAY ISSUES.
THAT'S SOME OF THE UPCOMING THINGS.
THAT'S A PROJECT THAT COUNCIL ASKED US TO GET STARTED ON.
AND THAT'S BETWEEN 38TH AND AVENUE 40.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET THAT KNOCKED OUT.
AND THE DESIGN HOPEFULLY GET IF POSSIBLE NEXT YEAR.
S A52 IMPROVEMENT THE REMAINING SECTION.
THE SECTION DONE BY THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF.
THAT'S THE LITTLE GAP THAT'S MISSING AND WANTING TO EXTEND THAT.
IT'S A BIT OF CHALLENGE THAT PROJECT.
AS SMALL AS IT IS IT'S CHALLENGING BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES.
OUR EYES ARE PRETTY WELL SET READY TO GO.
WE MAY BE MOST LIKELY WE WILL BE BREAKING GROUND NEXT YEAR.
NOW WE JUMP INTO THE CITY'S MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS.
JACKSON STREET AND INTERSTATE 10.
IT'S ABOUT 10 MILLION DOLLARS.
THEN MONROE STREET IS 98 MILLION.
[INAUDIBLE] IT'S BEEN OUR GOAL TO MAKE BOTH THESE PROJECTS SHOW READY AS POSSIBLE.
AND THAT WILL POSITION US REALLY WELL.
WITH THE FUNDS AVAILABLE FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. TO STAY ANYWHERE ELSE.
THEY ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR PROJECTS.
WE'RE GETTING BOTH PROJECTS READY TO GO.
OF COURSE ANY FUND THAT WE RECEIVE GET TAKEN OFF.
MONROE STREET IS ACTUALLY WAY AHEAD OF JACKSON STREET THIS TIME.
WE THINK THAT WE WILL BE MOVING TO JACKSON STREET AND THEN START THE DESIGN.
NEXT YEAR IS GOING THROUGH MOSTLY THE DESIGN FOR ALL OF THE PROJECTS.
THAT'S THE HEFTY PRICE TAG FOR BOTH OF THESE.
AND NOW WE ALSO HAVE HERBERT HOOER HOOVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
IT'S ALMOST 4 MILLION DOLLARS WITH A SMALL SHARE -- IT'S NOT THAT SMALL.
IT'S ABOUT 2.4 MILLION IS OUR SHARE.
THAT WILL IMPROVE THE NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE WE DID IN THE PAST.
ADA RAMPS PROVIDE NEW STREET LIGHTING.
AND THEN YOU KNOW THE SIGNING AND STRIPING AND EVERYTHING SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL LOOK VERY NICE AND VERY CLEAN.
THAT'S A HUGE HUGE PROJECT THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON.
AND OF COURSE WE HAVE CV LINK THAT MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH, THE CHANNEL.
>> ANOTHER PROJECT THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND MANY OF YOU FOLKS WHO DRIVE-THRU JACKSON STREET NOW HOW BIG OF A CHALLENGE IT IS NAVIGATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION.
THERE'S A LOT OF STOPPING THERE.
IT GETS REALLY, REALLY BAD OVER WILL.
THAT'S THE PROJECT THAT SEABAG IS AUTHORIZING AND IN WORKS.
WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE COUNTY WHEN THEY SEND DOWN SOUTH TO AVENUE 50 AND THEN ALL THE WAY TO ALMOST 49 AND THEN JUST PAST THE SUBSTATION.
NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT MONROE STREET.
WE STARTED ON THAT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
WE WILL BE GOING -- HOPING TO GET TO CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR AS WELL.
WE WILL TALK AND SHIELDS ROAD AND THEN ONE DEAR TO OUR HEARTS EAR IS THE ONGOING ROADWAY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE EMBARKED UPON.
WE'LL BRING YOU BACK A LIST OF ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD LIKE GET TAKEN CARE OF.
WE WILL WAIT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT THE CITY HAS A BUDGET FOR.
AND THEN WE WILL GO AND PLAN THOSE STREET.
IT'S THE COMBINATION OF MEASURE OF FUNDING.
I WILL JUST SUMMARIZE REAL QUICK.
IN TOTAL WE HAVE 8 BRIDGE PROJECTS.
WE HAVE 8 CITY PROJECTS TOTALLING ALMOST 3.# MILLION.
INDIO SHARE IS 3 AND A HALF MILLION.
MAINTENANCE PROJECTS AND THAT INCLUDE SD-1.
THAT'S ABOUT 7.2 MILLION DOLLARS.
FOR 230 MILLION FOR NEXT YEAR ONLY.
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS ARE 1.7.
INTERSECTION AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
OUR SHARE JUST SHY OF A MILLION NEXT YEAR.
WHAT I DIDN'T INCLUDE THE PARTS WE ARE WORKING ON.
WE HAVE A GRANT OUT FOR SPORTS PARK OVER AT THE VACANT LOT OFF OF MARKET AND JACKSON STREET.
WE HAVE THE SOUTH JACKSON PARK THAT WE ARE IMPROVING.
WE JUST SOLD THE BIDS A WILL BE AVOIDING THOSE CONTRACTS HERE PRETTY SOON AND GET
[01:35:01]
STARTED ON THE PROJECT.ANOTHER THING THAT IS NOT HERE.
THE BUILDING AND INCLUDING THE BUILDING PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS.
AND THAT'S A PROJECT THAT'S IN THE OFFICE.
THE ESTIMATE RIGHT NOW [INAUDIBLE] WHAT WE DID WE FOLLOWED THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION FOR NEXT YEAR 3 MILLION DOLLARS.
IN TOTAL, WE HAVE ABOUT 411 MILLION DOLLARS.
WE WILL BE EXECUTING THOSE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
NEXT YEAR THE TOTAL REVENUE THAT WE ANTICIPATE TO RECEIVE FOR THE CIP AND THAT'S ALL FROM THIS PROPENSITY ONE FROM MEASURE X.
FROM MEASURE A, OR WHATEVER ELSE I GET MY HANDS ON.
WE ESTIMATE IT TO BE BIG CHUNK OF THIS COMING [INAUDIBLE] FOR APPROVAL.
THAT'S IN A NUTSHELL WHERE WE ARE.
YOU KNOW I HAVE A LIST OF ANOTHER 48 OR SO PROJECTS THAT UNFUNDED BUT COUNCIL DID TALK ABOUT.
ANY PROJECT THAT YOU MENTIONED OR THOUGHT OF ALL ON MY LIST.
AND ONLY TAKES A FEW DOLLARS AND WE CAN GET IT DONE.
>> WITH THAT, I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
SOME OF THAT WAS MUSIC TO MY EARS.
I WANT TO SHARE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I GOT A CALL OVER BY PARENTS.
AND I TOOK A WALK AROUND THE FIELD.
TOOK SOME PHOTOS OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE.
WHEN I HEAR THERE'S IMPROVEMENTS COMING NOT LOOKING FOR GRANTS.
IST A LITTLE BIT EMBARRASSED WHAT I SEEN OUT THERE.
BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT ON THE RADAR.
ONE THING I WANTED TO ASK, MAYBE, I GOT THE SIDE BAR.
I WAS ASKING ABOUT VANBUREN STREET.
IS THAT SLATED FOR MAINTENANCE AND ALSO THE AREA IN THE LEMON GROW AND HORSE GROVE, THAT AREA.
IF THAT'S PART OF THE RULE MAINTENANCE IN THE FUTURE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT AS WELL.
IF IT'S ON THE CALENDAR TO BE FIXED UP.
STREET LIGHT PROJECT, I LOVE THE LED LIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
>> THE OTHER PARK ARABIA, DO YOU GUYS KNOW?
>> THEY ARE NODDING THEIR HEADS.
WHAT WE WILL DO WE WILL COME BACK AND SHOW YOU WHEN WE'RE GETTING READY TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR THE SYSTEM.
WE WILL SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT ROADS ARE INCLUDED.
OR EVEN ONCE WE COMPILE THAT LIST, WE WILL FORWARD TO CITY MANAGER AND HIS DISCRETION WHILE SHARING WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND ANYTHING SHE WANTS TO LOOK AT.
500 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECT IN 20 MILLION IN THE BANK.
WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE MONEY COMING IN BACK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO SEE IF WE CAN UTILIZE SOME OF THAT.
I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE PARKS INCLUDING BIRD PARK ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
WE REALLY NEED TO DO A LIST OF WHAT WE COULD DO FIX SOME OF THE PARKS UP.
EVEN ON MILES PARK YOU KNOW WE PUT THE LIGHTS UP THERE.
WE CAN PUT UP A COUPLE OF CYBERNETS SO IT CAN BE UTILIZED.
UP LESS WE DO SOMETHING THERE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO CHANGE THINGS AND GIVE PEOPLE ACCESS.
THEY WILL NOT KICK OUT IN A OPEN FIELD.
IT'S A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.
GIVENING YOU THE AUTHORITY DO IS WHAT WE NEED.
YOU REALLY SHOULD HOW WE COULD GET THOSE UP AND GOING.
WE NEED TO INVEST IN THE PARKS.
COUNCILMEMBER, THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK IT.
WE NEED INVEST BACK IN OUR FAMILIES AND OUR KIDS.
I THINK A LOT OF THAT SMALL MAINTENANCE IS JUST STUFF THAT WE NEED TO GET DONE.
ON THE STREET LIGHTS, I APPRECIATE THE STREET LIGHTS SOMETHING OUR CITY NEED TO LOOK AT.
WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK COMMUNICATION WITH THEM.
WE'RE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THEM.
15 YEARS IS ALMOST COMING UP FOR THE NEW CONTRACT.
STREET LIGHTS SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM.
WE NEED TO NEGOTIATE WITH AT&T AND OTHER WIRELESS SERVICES TO PUT UP THEIR 5-G SATELLITE UPS THERE SO WE CAN DO THERE AND HAVE THEM FIX THE POLES AND GET MORE BROADBAND TO OUR RESIDENTS AT THE SAME TIME.
EVERYTHING EYE TOLD YOU THE ONES WE CONTROL THE FIX THE NEXT DAY TORE DAY AFTER.
I APPRECIATE ALL YOU ARE DOING.
I KNOW THEY REACHED OUT TO PLANNING.
THEY LOOK TO MOVE THE MARKET ON CORNER THERE.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE ON THE FRONT.
AT THE SAME TIME WE DO BROADBAND IF WE PUT IN WIRES OR OTHER STUFF WHY WE FIX THE STREET WE NEED TO PUT IN THE EXTRA PIPE.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO FOR STREET SIN KRONIZATION.
I DON'T THINK WE WILL DO THE SURVEY.
IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO IF WE WANT TO DEVELOP OUR BUSINESSES.
WE HAVE TO BROADBAND FOR THE NEW COMPANIES TO COME IN.
MIGHT BE SURVEY MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE NEED THE DO FIRST TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
I APPRECIATE AUTOMATIC YOU DO.
YOU'RE DOING A LOT OF GOOD WORK.
>> THANK YOU, TIM FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I WANT TO ECHO COUNCILMEMBER MILLER'S REMARKS.
OUR CONVERSATION WITH THE GENERAL -- I FEEL LIKE WE'RE AT THE TEN-YARD LINE ABOUT TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN.
SOCCER POSTS AND SOMETHING THAT REALLY HAVE PEOPLE THERE.
AND WE CAN'T FIND FUNDING ON THE GENERAL FUND I THINK ONLY HAVE THAT PROJECT LIKE THAT DO.
I THINK IT'S MUCH BIGGER PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE.
[INAUDIBLE] THERE'S NO CONVERSATION WITH COUNCILMEMBERS ON THE INFORMATION.
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK.
I THINK YOU'RE DOING GREAT THINGS.
>> THANK YOU FOR PRESENTATION.
ALWAYS EXCITING TO SEE YOU SPEND MONEY.
WHAT DEFINES MAKING IT ON THE LIST AND NOT ON THE LIST.
IS THE LIMIT OF MONEY PER YEAR? OR WHAT YOU CAN DO WITHIN A YEAR?
>> IT'S TOTALLY UP TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE COUNCIL HAVE THE DESIRE INCLUDE IN THOSE.
WE'RE ALWAYS OPEN TO PROJECTS THAT YOU WANT -- [INAUDIBLE] SOMETIMES THEY TAKE PRIORITY OVER OTHER PROJECT ESPECIALLY IF THE FUNDING ISN'T PLACED OR SECURE THEN OBVIOUSLY THESE QUARTERS WILL TURN TO DOLLARS OR SOMETIMES TO DIMES TURN INTO DOLLAR.
WHENEVER WE SPEND GENERAL FUND MONEY.
THAT'S MILLION SIX THAT THE CITY WILL HAVE TO HAVE UP FRONT.
SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS THEY THE CITY MANAGER FORCE REVIEW.
WE HAVE TO TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE.
>> WHY IS GENERAL FUND AND NOT MEASURE X?
WE DIFFERENTIATE MEASURE X SPECIFICALLY FOR PROJECTS.
SO THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE OF THE REMAINING BAD PARTS OF HIGHWAY 111, IS THAT ALL JUST THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY OR IS THERE PARTS THAT ARE OUR RESPONSIBILITY?
>> THE REMAINING PORTION OF 111 ON THE COUNTY.
COUNTY AGREED TO DO TWO THINGS.
LAST YEAR BEFORE COVID IT WE WERE IN CONVERSATION WITH THEM ABOUT HOW FAST THEY CAN DO IT.
[INAUDIBLE] IN ADDITION TO THAT WE UNDER THEY ARE SHORT ON FUNDS.
THEY ARE TRYING TO BID, REBID.
WHERE WE ARE TODAY IS THEY RECEIVE BIDS RECENTLY.
GET AUTHORIZATION FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
OASIS STREET TO LATER DATE WHEN THEY HAVE TIME IN COURT.
IT'S THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY WILL -- [INAUDIBLE] >> ALL OF US NEED TO GO DOWN -- THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.
THAT WASN'T THE AGREEMENT THAT WE MADE.
WE WILL PUT THE JAIL IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX YOUR STREETS BECAUSE, OH, BY THE WAY.
>> MR. RUSSELL, I HAVE ONE FOR QUESTION.
[01:40:01]
>> LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED BACK UP.
>> GIVEN THAT WE HAVE 15 YEARS OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ON THE SENIOR CENTER AND THE TEEN CENTER WHY DO WE ALLOCATE TEN AND 12 RESPECTIVELY.
>> WHAT YOU SEE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY THAT WEAR GETTING FROM THE CDBG.
ANYTIME THAT WE HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH EITHER THE TEEN CENTER OR THE SENIOR CENTER WE JUMP ON IT IMMEDIATELY.
WE DON'T LET ANYTHING UNSAFE ANYTHING THAT'S MAINTENANCE RELATED THAT CAN BE DEFERRED.
YOU CAN SEE AT CITY HALL WE HAVE A LOT OF MAINTENANCE.
BECAUSE OF THE -- MOST OF THE TIME WHAT WE END UP DOING.
WHATEVER FUNDING WE GET AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
I KIND OF GUARD ALL OF THAT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR FOR EMERGENCIES.
[INAUDIBLE] THEN WE HEAT JUST TOWARD THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.
WHATEVER MONEY WE HAVE LEFT OVER, THAT'S THE TIME FOR US TO REPLACE THE PD FOLKS.
THAT'S BEEN THE GENERAL IDEA OF HOW WE HANDLE THE FUNDS.
DO YOU TAKE THE FUND OUT OF THE BUILDING REPLACEMENT FUND OR OUT OF THE MEASURE X FUND.
NO MEASURE EX-FUND ARE USED FOR SENIOR OR TEEN CENTER.
I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY -- IT'S VERY LITTLE.
[INAUDIBLE] I REALLY DON'T I'M NOT CONCERNED WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PRACTICE THAT WE HAVE FOR MAINTAINING OUR BUILDING.
CITY HALL WE'RE NOT GOING TO INVEST MONEY IN IT.
IT'S TOO OLD AND DOESN'T SERVICE US WELL.
THE TEEN AND SENIOR CENTER THE BUILDING THAT WE BUILT SEPARATE FROM THE FIRE STATION, THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP UP ON TO O ON THE MAINTENANCE.
BUT WHAT YOU DO RELGLY TO BUILDING MAINTENANCE.
I KNOW THE SOLAR PANELS ARE PROBABLY NOT EVEN FUNCTIONING ANY MORE BECAUSE OF THE PIGEONS THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THERE.
WE HAVE TO PUT OUR BUILDINGS ON A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM SO THEY DON'T BECOME TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN'T MAINTAIN THEM ANY MORE LIKE CITY HALLOR LIKE THE OLD FIRE STATION.
WHERE THE FUNDING COMES FROM IS IRRELEVANT.
I'M LOOKING MORE AT A PLAN OF HOW WE WILL MAINTAIN THE BUILDING THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US WHICH ARE THE ONES THAT WE BUILT IN THE LAST 15 OR 20 YEARS.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT APPROACHED FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.
IF YOU COULD COME BACK WITH A PLAN.
I THOUGHT WE HAD IT IN BUILDING MAINTENANCE PLAN.
>> I SPOKE -- THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER AMITH.
THE TEEN CENTER ON MY AGENDA ON MY RADAR FOR A WHILE.
PROBABLY EIGHT MONTHS I'VE BEEN ASKING.
STATE OF THE ART FACILITY AND IT'S TERRIBLE LOOKING.
THE PREVIOUS CITY MANAGER ABOUT GETTING THEM DONE A FEW MONTHS AGO.
AND THEY WERE DONE AND CLEAN AND I'M TOLD THEY WERE WORKING.
IT'S THE AESTHETICS OF HAVING STATE OF THE ART FACILITY IN ADDITION TO MAINTENANCE OUR KIDS AND SENIORS ARE IN.
I WISH WE HAD NOPE WHEN WE WENT THROUGH FUNDING AND ALLOCATED THAT, THAT WAS SUCH A CHALLENGE, THOSE FUNDS WERE SUCH A CHALLENGE, GIVE US FEEDBACK.
WE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ELSE.
>> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
I'M CONSCIOUS OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE IT DOES TAKE MORE TO REPLACE A LIGHT AND IT'S SUPER DARK.
THE PEOPLE ARE WALKING KIDS IN PARTICULAR.
THAT'S -- I HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE TALK SOMEONE MENTION SOMETHING ABOUT WE HAVE LIGHTS.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE SPRINKLERS, LINES IN THE WRONG PLACE OR SOMETHING.
I GUESS I'M ASKING THE QUESTIONS THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT PUTTING TOGETHER SOCCER FIELDS.
I WOULD LOVE TO PUT UP POLES SO PEOPLE CAN PRACTICE.
WILL THAT WORK IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HOW THE LINES ARE LAID OUT?
>> THE SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM NOT LAID OUT FOR SOCCER FIELD.
WE HAVE BEEN CONVERTING THAT, THE SOCCER FIELD.
AND WE CAN DEFINITELY BRING THE COST TO CITY MANAGER FOR HIS REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY COUNCIL.
ANYTHING YOU WANT DONE, WE WILL GET IT DONE.
>> I THINK WE ALL APPRECIATE HOW YOU DO SO MUCH WITH SO LITTLE.
YOU CAN STRETCH MORE THAN ANYONE I'VE EVER MET.
THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH.
>> ARE WE ASKING TIM TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE PARKS AND MAINTENANCE.
21.7 MILLION FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
INVESTING TO GET CAUGHT UP ON SOME OF STUFF DON'T THINK A STRETCH FOR US.
THAT'S WHAT THE MONEY WILL BE USED FOR.
I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE IT READY.
IF YOU WANT TO DO TEEN AND SENIOR CENTER AND THE PARKS I THINK WE NEED TO GIVE TIM THE AUTHORITY DO IT.
BE PREPARED TO SPEND THE MONEY.
>> HALF OF THAT AT SOME POINT AND THEN THE OTHER HALF WITH THE OTHER.
>> TIM PROBABLY TALKING 500 $600,000?
>> I HAVEN'T REALLY QUANTIFIED IT.
>> CAN'T MORE THAN 2 TO 300,000 EACH AND THE SOCCER FIELDS.
I THINK IT'S A WISE INVESTMENT.
>> HOW DO WE GET THIS ON THE RADAR SCREEN?
>> JUMPING IN AS THE NEWBY HERE.
WE'RE NOT 100% CLEAR HOW IT CAN BE USED EVEN STILL.
BUT I WOULD SUGGEST BECAUSE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU'VE BEEN DISCUSSING COULD COME UNDER THOSE DOLLARS.
WHEN WE GET BETTER HANDLE ON THAT.
AND WE LOOK AT WHAT MIGHT BE REMAINING IN THE UNALLOCATED OR INAPPROPRIATED MEASURE X FUNDS.
WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES.
>> THERE'S SOME OUTSTANDING ONE THAT TIM MENTIONED LIKE THE INTERCHANGE.
THE HESITANCY THAT ALLOCATE ALL OF THAT WITHOUT THINKING OF THAT AND HAVING THAT IN MIND IS A CONCERN.
BUT THERE WILL BE 10.2 MILLION DOLLARS.
THAT'S THE FIRST CRUNCH OF FEDERAL DOLLARS.
I WOULD SUGGEST NEXT MONTH OR JULY WE'LL HAVE BETTER IDEA WE CAN ALWAYS REOPEN THE BUDGET AND ADOPT SIMILAR TO WHAT'S PRESENTED HERE.
OPEN THAT BACK UP FOR DISCUSSION MILES PARK.
I WOULD SUGGEST BACK TO THE DISCUSSION THAT WE LOOK AT ALL OF THE PARKS.
I'M GOT AS FAMILIAR AS I SHOULD BE.
IF WE CAN GO OUT ONE TIME EXPENDITURE THAT WILL SAVE US FROM MAINTENANCE DOLLARS.
THEN THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE OUGHT TO PRIORITIZE.
IT LOOK BETTER AND SAFE US MONEY OVER TIME.
WE NEED THE FULL DISCUSSION PROBABLY IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS.
>> SCHEDULE ANOTHER STUDY SESSION OR STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION TO GO THROUGH THAT ONCE WE HAVE OUR ARMS AROUND HOW AND WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
MY GUESS IS WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL THE BUDGET IS ADOPTED IN JUNE.
THIS WHAT WE KNOW WE CAN DO NOW.
AND SEE ELSE WE MAY BE ABLE TO ADD.
THE FEDERAL MONEY AND MEASURE X MONEY ISN'T QUITE ALLOCATED.
THE QUESTION AGAIN MILLIONS TO INTERCHANGES.
WHAT WILL BE DOUGH BECAUSE WE SPEND IT ON SOMETHING ELSE.
I THINK WE LOOK AT EARLY JULY FOR LARGER DISCUSSION EVEN AFTER THIS A ADOPTED.
>> I AGREE WITH THE CITY MANAGER.
THEY LINED VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUTSIDE FUNDING FOR PROJECT.
ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE TO MATCH.
WHAT AN OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY.
WE NEED COME BACK WITH MONEY AS WELL.
>> YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LOVE -- JUST FROM THE CONVERSATION.
[INAUDIBLE] WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF THAT.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ACTION OTHER THAN HAVING THIS DISCUSSION.
>> I WILL SEE IF I HAVE TO PRIORITIZE FOR THE PARK.
IN EXCHANGE -- [INAUDIBLE] SHIELDS ROAD FOR WHEN THE DOLLARS COME IN.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT? [INAUDIBLE] THE BURGER BUILDING ARE DEMOLISHED.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ANNEX THAT WE PURCHASED FOR THE FUTURE HOUSING PROJECT.
[INAUDIBLE] THE FOOT TRAFFIC THAT WOULD CREATE WOULD IMPACT THE PUBLIC SAFETY OF THE AREA.
>> I THINK WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT THERE'S A LONGER VISION FURTHER VISION THAN JUST IT BEING UTILIZED AS THE PARK.
THAT'S WHY WE PUT IN GRASS AND SPRINKLER SO THE PUBLIC COULD USE IT.
[01:45:01]
WE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT PERMANENT PARK.IT'S IN OUR GENERAL PLAN AS A HOUSING PROJECT.
>> I THOUGHT WE HAD A WHOLE DISCUSSION FIRST PIECE OF IT.
MR. HERMAN WE HAVE SECOND, THIRD.
BUT, WHEN THESE DOLLARS THEY HAVE THE DISCUSSION WHAT'S THE NEXT PHASE THAT WE COULD LOOK INTO ON MILES AVENUE PARK PER THE PLAN THAT -- [INAUDIBLE] WHAT A COUPLE THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO.
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THAT.
EL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COST WILL BE.
WE DID HAVE A PLAN FOR THE DESIGNS TO BE ABLE TO FINISH THAT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FIXING THE AREAS WE DID.
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A SIGNIFICANT SIX MONTHS TO YEAR TO REDESIGN THAT.
[INAUDIBLE] IF I MIGHT JUMP IN AGAIN.
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT MONEY IS.
WE COULD BRING BACK ON THE JUNE 16TH, ADOPTION ADDITIONAL MEASURE X FUNDS FOR MILES PARK IF THERE'S CONSENSUS.
STATE 4 TO 500,000 WE CAN DEFINE THAT LATER.
BUT I THINK OUR ADDITIONAL FUNDS WE CAN TAKE CARE SOME OF THE MILES.
AS LONG AS THERE'S CONSENSUS WITH THAT.
WE WILL BRING BACK ON JUNE 16TH.
THAT INCLUDE SHIELD AND MILES PARK.
>> IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH WITH THAT? [INAUDIBLE] FOR A TEMPORARY -- I KNOW WE HAVE A LONG-TERM VISION.
I'VE BEEN INSIDE THE BUILDING.
[INAUDIBLE] IT'S A LONG-TERM VISION FOR TEMPORARY IDEA.
WHEN THE YOUTH ARE PRACTICING WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OUT.
IS SOCCER PLAYERS ON THE FIELD.
THERE'S A NEED FOR SOME SOCCER FIELDS HERE IN OUR CITY HOPEFULLY WE DO GET THE GRANT.
BUT IN THE MEAN TIME, SEE IF THEY CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
I WOULDN'T CALL IT A WISH LIST BUT MAYBE TEMPORARY.
I DON'T WANT TO STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE PLAN WE HAVE.
I THINK WITH NEW COUNCILMEMBERS.
[INAUDIBLE] I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A SMALL SHORT PRESENTATION ON MILES PARK.
THEN WE CAN FICK OUT HOW TO GET THE ELEMENTS.
THE WHOLE DESIGN AS I RECALL WAS TO GET PEOPLE IN THEREND ACTIVE AND DOING STUFF.
AND TO DRAW PEOPLE IN TO QUOTE, UNQUOTE ACCLIMATE.
>> WE DID HAVE MORE COMMUNITY MEETINGS.
WHERE THE COMMUNITY CAME OUT AND GAVE SUGGESTIONS.
I THINK THAT'S IN PREPARATION FOR GRANT AS WELL WE DIDN'T GET.
[INAUDIBLE] I'M KIND OF THINKING IN THE 500,000 RANGE.
I SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY BUT IT'S NOT.
YOU COULD LOOK AT SURVEYS AND GET BACK.
AT LEAST THERE'S HALF A MILLION OF SOMETHING.
THAT WOULD BE FROM SOME OF THE UNALLOCATED MEASURE X MONEY.
>> WE'LL HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MILES PARK.
WHEN YOU GO THERE THERE'S THINGS THAT NEED OUR ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
JUST THE FACILITIES LIGHTS, THE REST ROOMS. I KNOW REST ROOMS ARE HARD ISSUE WITH THE PARKS.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF YOUTH AND SPORT COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN.
JUST BEING THERE THE OTHER DAY PASADENA.
FOR ME PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW AMERICAN FLAG UP THERE.
[INAUDIBLE] THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I SEE.
JUST A LOOK AT -- IT GOES A LONG WAYS AS WELL.
>> WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING.
[INAUDIBLE] ARE WE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER SESSION ON THE BUDGET?
I MEAN YOU NEED MORE DIALOGUE THEN WE CAN CERTAINLY SET ASIDE A SESSION FOR EARLY JUNE.
LAST MEETING IN JUNE RIGHT NOW REGULAR MEETING JUNE 16TH.
WE CAN SET A SPECIAL MEETING DATE LATER IN THE MONTH IF THAT IS WHAT THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO HAVE MORE TIME TO DELIBERATE OVER THE BUDGET.
WE DO NEED A WINDOW OF 7 TO 10 DAYS ONCE THE NUMBERS START MOVING TO PRODUCE THE FINAL BUDGET DOCUMENTS.
WE CAN EXTEND THIS CONVERSATION INTO EARLY JUNE IF IT GOES INTO MID OR LATER JUNE WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT OTHER AVENUES TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOME AUTHORITY IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET IN TIME.
IF YOU NEED MORE TIME TO DIALOGUE.
WE CAN SET UP ADDITIONAL TIME.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S CLOSE ENOUGH WE CAN ADOPT AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AFTER THE BUDGET IS ADOPTED AS CITY MANAGER BRYAN MENTIONED.
WE PLAN TO COME BACK ANY WAY TO HAVE A GREATER CONVERSATION IN REGARD TO RECOVERY ACT FUNDS THAT WE SHOULD BE GETTING THE FIRST 10.4 MILLION ALLOCATION IN THE NEXT FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS.
THE OTHER HALF WILL BE COMING A YEAR FROM NOW.
THERE'S SOME MORE DIALOGUE TO BE HAD.
BUT WE NEED TO BE SOMEWHAT SENSITIVE.
>> WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL? SOMEONE NEEDS TO DRAG THE WHITE BOARD IN.
THIS IS -- THIS IS WHAT I FIND.
>> I THINK WE WILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
>> THERE'S SOME EXAMPLES HERE.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE MARTHA VILLAGE AND KITCHEN.
WE DON'T INCLUDE THE MONEY IN THE DISCUSSION WE MAY BE KIND OF CONSTRICTING OURSELVES UNNECESSARILY.
AND SOMETIME IN JULY WE HAVE THE DISCUSSION AGAIN WHERE WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT RESOURCES WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND WHAT THEY CAN BE SPENT ON.
>> THAT WILL SAVE ROBYN AND HIS STAFF TIME TO GET DOCUMENTS TO MEET THE FISCAL DEADLINE.
[INAUDIBLE] YOU KNOW, 10.4? I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO RUSH IT.
I THINK THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REALLY DO SOME OF THE WORK WE WANT DO AND MAKE SURE ROB HAS THE MONEY SET ASIDE SO WHEN HE NEEDS IT HE HAS IT.
WE NEED THE MONEY FOR BONDING AND FUNDING.
>> WE DON'T NEED TO RUSH TO SPEND.
>> WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL? EVERYBODY OKAY WITH THAT?
WHATEVER CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDS IS AS FAR AS TIMING FOR TO US HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS WHEN WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FEDERAL FUNDS.
BUT I WANT TO MENTION WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE WHITE BOARD LAST TIME.
THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT HAS PROPOSED CODE ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISOR AND THREE CODE OFFICERS THAT ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THEMSELVES THEY ARE FEE-BASED.
THOSE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.
I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT NOW BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR INTO THE BUDGET.
THAT'S NOT -- THAT'S REALLY NO BLANKER IF WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
BUT THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD IS THE FORMER CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED THAT WE WE INCREASE THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF AND HE AND I HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION FOR SEVERAL -- SEVERAL SEVERAL MONTHS NOW.
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS SHORT ON STAFF BUT I ASKED HIM TO LOOK INTO CONTRACTING TO TAKE ON THE OVERFLOW RIGHT NOW.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, PLANNING DEPARTMENT SOMETIMES THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF ACTIVITY AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BRING ON NEW EMPLOYEES UNLESS IT'S GOING TO BE PAID FOR BY THE FEES THAT WE COLLECT.
IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE PREPARE AN ANALYSIS WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.
I WOULD APPRECIATE IT BEFORE THE NEXT BUDGET SESSION.
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HIRE MORE STAFF.
I WOULD RATHER JUST CONTRACT LABOR AND CHARGE THE DEVELOPERS AND THE DEVELOPERS ARE WILLING TO PAY FAST TRACKING.
THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY WHATEVER.
IT'S US THAT HASN'T PUT THAT PROCESS IN PLACE.
THOSE ARE THE ONLY COMMENTS I HAVE.
>> SOME ARE SAYING EARLY JUNE.
>> I DON'T KNOW WE SAID WE WOULD HAVE EARLY JUNE STUDY SESSION.
AT THE END OF JULY WHEN WE MANAGE IT.
BECAUSE OF ALL THE GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENT WE LET OUR CFO BUNDLE IT UP AND TIE AND PUT A BOW ON IT.
AND THEN WE REVIEW IT IN JULY.
[INAUDIBLE] ALWAYS AT YOUR PLEASURE.
THE ISSUE OF COURSE WE MAY NOT KNOW WE HAVE THE JUNE 2ND DISCUSSION WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO INCLUDE 10.2 MILLION.
MY SUGGEST WE GET MORE TIME TO PREPARE THE FINAL DOCUMENT FOR THE 16TH INSTEAD WAITING FOR SOMETIME IN JULY.
BACK TO REGARDING THE CODE ENFORCEMENT.
ONCE WE BRING THE REGULATORY ORDINANCE.
[INAUDIBLE] LET'S MAKE UNIQUE BUDGET YEAR WHERE WE GET THE BUDGET DONE BUT WE RECOGNIZE THAT SHORTLY THEREAFTER WE WILL MAKE AMENDMENTS.
AND WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF CODE ENFORCEMENT.
TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU WANT TO ADOPT THAT.
RAID THE REVENUE FOR STAFF OR NOT.
IT'S NOT INCLUDED YET BUT WE INTENT TO PRESENT AFTER THE BUDGET ADOPTION.
I DON'T THINK JUNE 2ND SESSION WILL BE EXTREMELY VALUABLE.
>> WHAT QUESTION DOES YOU HAVE?
WE NEED TO HAVE THAT LEVEL OF COMFORT.
BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN SAYING, I HAVE QUESTIONS.
[01:50:01]
[INAUDIBLE] SOME OF THE NUMBERS ARE BACK AND FORTH.[INAUDIBLE] ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE POPULATION THAT ISN'T INCLUDED IN ENGLISH.
[INAUDIBLE] THE SECOND THINGIST HOPING -- [INAUDIBLE] YOU MENTION THE MAINTENANCE OF THE PARK.
IF IT'S CHEAPER AND MORE EFFICIENT BUT ALSO CONTRACT IN THE EVENT AND PROGRAM WITH THE PARK AS FAR AS ACTIVITIES AND SEEING IF THAT REVENUE MY OFF SET THE MAINTENANCE OF THE PARK.
THE THIRD THING I HAD WAS THE CONTRACTING OF WITH NONPROFIT HEALTH FOR COMMUNITY.
WITH ONE COUNCILOR THEY HELP FOUR OR FIVE FAMILIES.
[INAUDIBLE] I THINK THAT HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY DURING THIS TIME WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVING TROUBLE.
I THINK THAT WOULD HELP OUR FAMILIES AND HELP OUR COMMUNITY IN GENERAL.
OUR ACTIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE.
JUST THE HELP OF PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES.
I HOPE IF THE COUNCIL OPEN TO THOSE SUGGESTIONS THAT WE COULD GET SOME NUMBERS SO WE CAN CONSIDER THAT.
>> LET'S TAKE THIS ONE PIECE AT THE TIME.
AND SORT OF GET CONSENSUS OR DIRECTIONOR COMMENTARY.
START WITH MEANT ALHEALTH PIECE.
THERE'S SEVERAL ORGANIZATION NONPROVE PROFIT.
IF ANYONE HAS THOUGHTS AROUND THAT.
HOW DO WE THEN WORK THE COUNTY TO GET MORE SUPPORT FOR OUR FAMILY? HOW DO WE WORK WITH THE NONPROFITS IS THE QUESTION TO GET MORE SUPPORT FOR OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES?
>> THE COUNTY HAS A VERY EXPANDED OUTREACH PROGRAM.
IT'S A COUNTY FUNCTION, WHICH IS AUGMENTED BY THE NONPROFIT SERVICES.
I DON'T SEE IT'S ANYWHERE NEAR A CITY ROLL TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT.
>> I THINK YOU SAY TYPICALLY NOT THE CITY ROLL.
IF WE LOOK AT THE DATA TYPICALLY THE NUMBERS AREN'T WHERE THEY ARE.
THIS IS A VERY BIG CONCERN FOR ME AND LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
TO JUST SIT DOWN AND WATCH THAT PLAY.
WE WILL WATCH THAT -- [INAUDIBLE] >> I DON'T DISAGREE THE NEED AND TREMENDOUS.
BUT BEFORE WE ALLOCATE DOLLARS WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF FOLKS THERE THAT CAN HELP.
I KNOW THERE'S SEVERAL NONPROFITS.
LET'S PULL THOSE GROUPS TOGETHER FIRST AND SEE THEN HOW WE WOULD FOR THE CITY TO ALLOCATE DOLLARS FOR MENTAL HEALTH PEOPLE IT FEELS LIKE AN OVERLAP UNTIL WE REACH AGREEMENTS.
MY TWO CENTS ONLY WITH SOME OF THESE.
HOW DO THEY TAKE THE FUNDING FOR FULL TIME MENTAL HEALTH.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO ASK AS WE EXPLORE THAT NEED.
>> WE TALK ABOUT HIGHWAY 111 OASIS.
IF WE SIT BACK, WE COULD SAY, WELL THEY MAY OR MAY NOT DO IT.
THAT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OR THE FUNCTION.
VERY SIMILAR ANALOGY WE OUGHT TO ENCOURAGE THE COUNTY TO STEP UP AND DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
IN MY EXPERIENCE IT'S NOT A CITY EXPENDITURE.
>> ARE YOU SAYING ALLOCATE LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY -- [INAUDIBLE] WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT? I'M TRYING TO GAGE GAGE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
>> WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE ANOTHER? WOULD THAT BE HELPFUL?
>> WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF -- I KNOW THE COUNTY WILL BENEFIT.
I THINK THE TEEN CENTER -- [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S PLAN AT ONE TIME.
LET'S HAVE THIS CONVERSATION LIKE YOU ARE SAYING.
WE SHOULD HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS; RIGHT? THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP.
I HOPE WE WOULD REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE ORGANIZATION AND HAVE SOME NUMBERS OR SUGGESTIONS AVAILABLE.
HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS POTENTIAL THAT WE CAN DO AND WHAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
WHAT DIRECTION WE HAVE PROFESSIONALLY IN THAT KIND OF CASE.
>> I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TIME FRAME.
KNOWING THERE'S ADDITIONAL DOLLARS TO BE ALLOCATED, ASKING STAFF TO PULL ALL THIS TOGETHER LESS THAN TWO WEEKS MEANS SOMETHING ELSE IS -- CAN WE ASK AT THE TO DO THAT AND COME BACK WITH US.
>> I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SPECIFICALLY WE'RE ASKING FOR.
>> WHAT WE'RE -- >> WHAT ARE WE ASKING STAFF TO DO?
>> WHAT I WOULD LIKE STAFF TO DO [INAUDIBLE] WHAT COULD WE POSSIBLY DO INCREASE SERVICES IN OUR CITY? CAN WE HIRE SOMEONE? CAN WE HIRE SOMEONE FROM POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS LOOKING LIKE? FROM THE PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVE.
>> I'M NOT THAT FAVOR WASTING STAFF TIME ON THIS ISSUE.
AND GIVE MY PERSPECTIVE ON THIS.
I THINK WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN WE ALSO HAVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROBLEM IN THE COMMUNITY.
LOOKING AT TAME LINE FOR THAT AND THE SERVICE THEY WILL BE PROVIDING IN OUR COMMUNITY.
AND ALSO OUTREACH MAYBE WE COULD TALK TO MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT ABOUT TAKING ON THE TASK SUMMONING UP OUR LOCAL RESOURCES.
I KNOW DURING THE PANDEMIC, I HAD THREE CONSTITUENTS REACH OUT TO ME WHO WERE SUICIDAL.
I WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE, WE WHICH WE GOT.
IT WAS PRETTY TOUGH TIME GIVEN THE SERVICES OR FINDING THEM SHOULD I SAY.
WE NEED THE RESOURCE FOR THE SERVICES PROBABLY WOULD BE A FAST FIX OUTSIDE THE BUDGET OR ALSO MOVING FORWARD THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC PARTNERSHIPS.
IF THE RECREATION IS DOING CENTER REC CENTER OR THEY ARE PARTNERING WITH THEM WITH THEIR SERVICES, I THINK WOULD PROBABLY SUFFICE.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE A MECHANISM TO BRING SOMEONE IN.
I KNOW WE HAVE THEM IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I THINK CERTAINTY SOURCES WITH OUR COMMUNITY WOULD BE VITAL AND WOULD HELP WITH SOME OF THOSE ISSUES WE HAVE GOING ON.
>> I WONDER, YOU CAN THROW SOMETHING AT ME.
THERE'S SOME FOLK YOU CAN REACH OUT AND ASK A FEW QUESTIONS.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY AS WELL.
THERE'S THINGS WE HAVE AT THE FINGER TIPS WHERE WE CAN GET THE INFORMATION.
TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING COMPREHENSIVE IN TWO WEEKS IS UNFAIR OF STAFF.
WHOEVER THE TWO-BY-TWO WITH THE DESERT RECREATION.
IF YOU HAVE A CONTACT LET'S PICK UP THE PHONE AND TALK WITH THEM.
YOU TALK ABOUT THE LATINO GROUP.
AND THEN WE CAN DISCUSS IT UP HERE.
AND HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AS TO.
>> YOU HAVE TO BE CAUTIOUS ANT SAYING DISCUSS IT AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL.
THERE HAS TO BE AT LEAST CONSENSUS.
AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO CONSIDER THIS OPTION.
BECAUSE IT'S A WASTE OF STAFF TIME FOR US TO HAVE THEM GO RESEARCH SOMETHING.
IT'S A WASTE OF OUR TIME TO GO AND GET INFORMATION IF THERE'S NO SUPPORT FOR FUNDING SUCH A POSITION.
AND I'M BEING FLAT OUT STRAIGHT OUT.
WE CAN FACILITATE AND SEND PEOPLE TO THE PROPER CHANNELS WHICH WE'VE DONE.
I'M NOT WILLING TO BRING DEPARTMENT OF CITY SERVICES TO THE CITY OF INDIO.
>> I'M DISCUSSING COUNCILMEMBER AMITH THE FACILITATION PART.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE ALL HAVE WITH OUR CURRENT FOLKS AND MEETING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE.
THAT'S THE POINT WHICH I'M RECOMMENDING THIS.
COUNCIL HAS ANY OTHER THOUGHT I'VE GOT TWO MINUTES LEFT OF THIS MEETING.
>> THE INFORMATION I BRING NOW -- [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
[INAUDIBLE] THE RESOURCES AREN'T THERE.
>> WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL? I HAVE ONE PERSON THAT DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.
DO WE WANT TO TAKE STAFF TIME TO LOOK AT THIS SCENARIO A THIS POINT?
>> YOU KNOW HISTORICALLY SOCIAL SERVICES PROBLEM GOING BACK TO REAGAN YEAR.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN RESOLVE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE EXPECT TO DO SOMETHING WITH WHAT MINIMAL FUNDS WE HAVE.
I NEED TWO PEOPLE TELL ME WHAT THEY THINK?
>> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BUDGET TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT DOLLARS WE GOT.
[INAUDIBLE] CITY MANAGER -- [INAUDIBLE] .
HANG ON UNTIL JULY IS MY SUGGESTION.
>> WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEM.
THE OTHER ITEM THE FIRST ITEM DO WE WANT SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE MEETING.
25% OF THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
I NEED CONSENSUS WHETHER WE WANT TO ADD THE BUDGET OF HAVING ALL MEETING TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH OR 25% OF THE COMMUNITY?
>> WHEN THE STATE FUNDS IT, WE WILL DO IT.
>> WELL, I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK HOW WE CAN DO IT.
YOU TALK AND SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.
[01:55:01]
THERE'S NEW TECHNOLOGY.WE TALK ABOUT TELEVISING OUR MEETING.
WE KNOW WE'RE ON THE INTERNET.
INTERNET IS CHEAPER THAN THE STATION.
THERE MAY BE SOME SORT OF WAY THE DO THIS.
WHETHER FOLK SPEAK ENGLISH, SPANISH OR ANOTHER LANGUAGE IN OUR CITY WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE BEING TRANSLATED.
IF THERE'S ANOTHER MECHANISM TO LOOK.
>> DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM DOING IN JULY WITH EVERYTHING ELSE? [INAUDIBLE] I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THE STAFF AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE THAT WANT IT.
WHAT IS YOUR POSITION?
