a chance to come here and explain this
process to you because there have been some

14
00:01:04,54 --> 00:01:05,96
questions about it recently

15
00:01:05,96 --> 00:01:13,49
.

16
00:01:19,26 --> 00:01:24,94
You know me Rachel Henry is our account
clerk three and she does most of the work

17
00:01:24,95 --> 00:01:31,36
on the utility billing process so
she's going to help as we go through

18
00:01:31,37 --> 00:01:37,09
a typical procedure from the bill to when
it would be shut off if nothing were done

19
00:01:37,13 --> 00:01:43,97
to stop that and. I'd like to ask if we
could leave part of the lights on so that

20
00:01:43,98 --> 00:01:48,06
you'll be able to see the calendars we have
we have both low tech and high tech for

21
00:01:48,07 --> 00:01:53,41
you tonight but I think the visual will
be helpful in understanding. The process

22
00:01:53,42 --> 00:01:59,26
and the notices that we're providing. Can
I get some of those lights turned back on

23
00:01:59,27 --> 00:01:59,61
John.

24
00:02:10,61 --> 00:02:14,38
We can I think we can can you still
see that let's go ahead on it then

25
00:02:14,38 --> 00:02:20,72
.

26
00:02:25,66 --> 00:02:29,56
As you all know the city afford to his
mission is to be worthy of the public trust

27
00:02:29,57 --> 00:02:33,80
by providing timely efficient dependable
and well planned services to the community

28
00:02:33,80 --> 00:02:39,02
. We've developed a utility billing
procedure that we that provides

29
00:02:39,03 --> 00:02:43,03
a standardized process for us that
allows the city to carry out its mission

30
00:02:43,04 --> 00:02:47,67
statement and guarantees fair and equitable
treatment for all of our customers and

31
00:02:47,68 --> 00:02:50,61
we're going to go through that
process here tonight from the time

32
00:02:50,62 --> 00:02:54,71
a bill goes out until the
shut off period. And

33
00:02:54,72 --> 00:02:58,76
a typical billing or typical billing
procedure the bill goes out on the first of

34
00:02:58,77 --> 00:03:01,17
month a we're going to
use month a B. And C.

35
00:03:01,17 --> 00:03:04,88
. That bill is due on
the thirtieth of month

36
00:03:04,89 --> 00:03:11,79
a this is the water sewer bill typical
water sewer bill this one would

37
00:03:11,80 --> 00:03:18,48
have been for May thirtieth that would have
gone out on June first I'm sorry on May

38
00:03:18,49 --> 00:03:22,99
first and it shows here that it is due
on May thirtieth that shown here and I'm

39
00:03:23,00 --> 00:03:29,92
here this was this would be the May
first bill. And. If the bill for that

40
00:03:29,93 --> 00:03:35,59
month A is not paid by the thirtieth of
month day the following month's bill for

41
00:03:35,60 --> 00:03:36,42
month B.

42
00:03:36,64 --> 00:03:42,92
Will include the past two amount and the
current amount. Here you can see the

43
00:03:42,93 --> 00:03:48,60
previous balance right there that previous
balance is now past due it was due on

44
00:03:48,61 --> 00:03:50,28
the thirtieth and there is also

45
00:03:50,29 --> 00:03:55,51
a current bill that is due by the thirtieth
of the month now as you can already

46
00:03:55,52 --> 00:03:57,28
tell between month day month B.

47
00:03:57,29 --> 00:03:59,38
And the cross over here it's

48
00:03:59,39 --> 00:04:03,85
a little bit complicated but hang in there
with me and you can ask the questions at

49
00:04:03,86 --> 00:04:06,82
the end I think by the time we get
this all up here it's going to be

50
00:04:06,83 --> 00:04:13,57
a little clearer for everybody. If
the past due amount against zero for

51
00:04:13,58 --> 00:04:16,68
month A is not paid by
the eleventh of month be

52
00:04:17,17 --> 00:04:21,91
a red and white reminder notices through
the mail in an armful of it's not

53
00:04:21,92 --> 00:04:26,62
a postcard this is the reminder notice this
is the front of the reminder notice it

54
00:04:26,63 --> 00:04:31,19
says has your water bill been overlooked
your account is overdue your payment is

55
00:04:31,20 --> 00:04:37,59
late and then on the reverse side it goes
over the procedure where they're letting

56
00:04:37,60 --> 00:04:38,68
them know that they have

57
00:04:38,69 --> 00:04:43,86
a past due bill that they are in danger
of you having their service disconnected

58
00:04:43,87 --> 00:04:46,83
discontinued. And then gives them

59
00:04:46,84 --> 00:04:53,30
a date of the twenty fifth by which time
they need to get this bill paid. This

60
00:04:53,31 --> 00:04:58,37
would be the. And then it gives them the
number here what they need to do if they

61
00:04:58,38 --> 00:05:02,26
have any questions this is also telling
them that if they don't get this bill paid

62
00:05:02,27 --> 00:05:05,30
on time that they're looking
at a late penalty and

63
00:05:05,31 --> 00:05:11,39
a reconnect fee. Here's where
we get into the small print

64
00:05:11,40 --> 00:05:15,72
a little bit if the past two amount for
Monday is still not paid by the twenty

65
00:05:15,73 --> 00:05:21,02
fifth of month be on the twenty sixth of
month be the finance department runs an

66
00:05:21,03 --> 00:05:23,42
in-house delinquent list and it's

67
00:05:23,52 --> 00:05:28,16
a ten percent late fee is added to the
past two amount for month A and I'd like

68
00:05:28,17 --> 00:05:30,61
Rachel to expand on this

69
00:05:30,62 --> 00:05:35,90
a little bit with our calendar. On occasion
we have the twenty fifth might fall on

70
00:05:35,91 --> 00:05:38,09
a weekend in this case for

71
00:05:38,11 --> 00:05:43,11
a month be it does we will allow the
customer the full business day on the twenty

72
00:05:43,12 --> 00:05:47,95
sixth to bring that their payment to avoid
the late penalty so we actually won't

73
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:51,95
run that list and apply late fees and
tell the next business day which in our

74
00:05:51,97 --> 00:05:58,36
example would be twenty seven. And I just
wanted to show you that because we do try

75
00:05:58,37 --> 00:06:02,32
and do everything in the customer's favor
we're never going to penalize anybody for

76
00:06:02,33 --> 00:06:04,42
a duty falling on a weekend or

77
00:06:04,43 --> 00:06:09,08
a holiday so the procedures that we're
giving you and the dates are typical but

78
00:06:09,12 --> 00:06:14,74
they they can sometimes swing in the
customer's favor OK here we go on the first

79
00:06:14,75 --> 00:06:19,53
Wednesday following the twenty six of the
month the process for the handling the

80
00:06:19,54 --> 00:06:23,42
yellow door hangers begins and this
process is usually completed within

81
00:06:23,43 --> 00:06:25,31
a couple days by the time

82
00:06:25,32 --> 00:06:29,92
a customer receives this door notice
door hanger the account is past due for

83
00:06:29,93 --> 00:06:32,13
a month day and month B.

84
00:06:32,17 --> 00:06:36,53
Will be due in a couple of days
the door hanger is only for

85
00:06:36,54 --> 00:06:38,47
a month they were only tracking month

86
00:06:38,51 --> 00:06:45,25
a here doing anything on their
reach Oh no. On the first of

87
00:06:45,26 --> 00:06:50,95
month see another bill will go out this
is per month see which is due on the

88
00:06:50,96 --> 00:06:55,13
thirtieth of month see but this bill
includes the past two amount for a month

89
00:06:55,17 --> 00:06:59,73
a Including a late fee the
past two amount for month B.

90
00:07:00,56 --> 00:07:02,44
And the current amount due for month C.

91
00:07:03,30 --> 00:07:08,04
And part of what we're trying to show you
is the number of communications the city

92
00:07:08,05 --> 00:07:15,02
makes with the customers before the shut
off happens. This example to one month

93
00:07:15,03 --> 00:07:20,24
see on occasion it's our goal to get our
bills out on Earth as close to the first

94
00:07:20,25 --> 00:07:22,83
as possible obviously the first on

95
00:07:22,84 --> 00:07:28,04
a Saturday in Muncie so we mailed
our bills out on Monday the third.

96
00:07:29,66 --> 00:07:31,43
This is a door hanger or part of

97
00:07:31,44 --> 00:07:36,28
a door hanger that goes out now these are
all handwritten and hand delivered by the

98
00:07:36,29 --> 00:07:38,61
utility crew you'll notice this has

99
00:07:38,62 --> 00:07:44,89
a shut off date in this case this one is
the fifth of month see. It's marked that

100
00:07:44,90 --> 00:07:51,08
it's being shut off for nonpayment of an
account amount due and in this space it

101
00:07:51,09 --> 00:07:56,100
would show the past to amount and any late
fees that are due. It also importantly

102
00:07:57,29 --> 00:08:02,04
explains to the people that payment
arrangements must be made by ten A.M.

103
00:08:02,08 --> 00:08:07,00
Of the shut off date or reconnection
fee will apply this ten A.M.

104
00:08:07,01 --> 00:08:11,25
Is an important time and there's a reason
for it I'm going to explain it here in

105
00:08:11,26 --> 00:08:16,74
a minute so keep that in mind that that's
on there it also shows them that they can

106
00:08:16,75 --> 00:08:21,93
call again to make payment arrangements if
they need to and the number for them to

107
00:08:21,94 --> 00:08:26,98
call.

108
00:08:29,95 --> 00:08:34,92
Right it is filled in I didn't put that
number in thank you my clock card is our

109
00:08:34,93 --> 00:08:39,83
utilities utility superintendent and he's
here for backup too depending on the

110
00:08:39,84 --> 00:08:44,20
questions that come in about what they're
doing out in the field. All right back to

111
00:08:44,22 --> 00:08:49,04
the procedure if the bill for month A is
still not paid in the customer has not

112
00:08:49,04 --> 00:08:53,68
contacted the poignance department and made
appropriate payment arrangements on the

113
00:08:53,70 --> 00:08:58,88
second Wednesday following the twenty six
on the first Wednesday the door hangers

114
00:08:58,88 --> 00:09:03,82
went out on the second Wednesday following
the twenty sixth of month be the surface

115
00:09:03,86 --> 00:09:06,89
is considered to be
disconnected as of ten A.M.

116
00:09:07,74 --> 00:09:11,11
The disconnect time is always ten A.M.

117
00:09:11,33 --> 00:09:17,72
Regardless of when the water is
physically turned off. This is

118
00:09:17,73 --> 00:09:24,64
because we could be disconnecting twenty
twenty five services and there is no way

119
00:09:24,65 --> 00:09:31,56
for us to disconnect simultaneously twenty
five services all at the same time so

120
00:09:31,57 --> 00:09:35,99
that time is established so that if someone
services turned off it ten o'clock or

121
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:41,92
someone services turned up at twelve o'clock
there's there's no advantage to them

122
00:09:41,96 --> 00:09:48,51
it's the ten o'clock you have to have your
bill paid by been. Otherwise it's going

123
00:09:48,52 --> 00:09:51,51
to be considered disconnected
that's the time.

124
00:09:56,53 --> 00:10:00,74
Despite the rumor city crews do not go out
and turn the water off and then turn it

125
00:10:00,75 --> 00:10:05,81
right back on at the same time.
There may be instances where

126
00:10:05,85 --> 00:10:12,78
a customer is inside of City Hall paying
their bill on shut off day and they may be

127
00:10:12,79 --> 00:10:19,55
in here at ten thirty or eleven o'clock
that water has been concerned that service

128
00:10:19,56 --> 00:10:24,83
is considered disconnected and they are
going to be responsible for the reconnect

129
00:10:25,13 --> 00:10:31,34
even if their water wasn't actually turned
off in some cases we cannot call back

130
00:10:31,35 --> 00:10:36,26
the utility crew in time to get the water
turned back on so it may never actually

131
00:10:36,27 --> 00:10:42,75
be turned off but once they reach that
deadline of ten AM That's it after four

132
00:10:42,76 --> 00:10:48,12
notices at ten am there they're
considered disconnected.

133
00:10:49,92 --> 00:10:53,40
As of ten am The service is considered
disconnected and customers must pay

134
00:10:53,41 --> 00:10:58,23
a reconnect fee of seventy five dollars
plus the entire past due amount of their

135
00:10:58,24 --> 00:11:03,96
bill including the late fee if the customer
shut off more than once the subsequent

136
00:11:03,98 --> 00:11:09,12
we connect he is increased to one hundred
dollars if a customer did not pay

137
00:11:09,13 --> 00:11:12,74
a deposit to establish service or paid

138
00:11:12,78 --> 00:11:17,02
a deposit of less than one hundred fifty
dollars and their water showed up more

139
00:11:17,03 --> 00:11:20,41
than two times within two years
they will also need to pay

140
00:11:20,42 --> 00:11:25,23
a deposit of up to one hundred fifty
dollars and I'd like Rachel to explain

141
00:11:25,24 --> 00:11:29,92
a little bit about the deposit. All new
service requires one hundred twenty five

142
00:11:29,94 --> 00:11:33,72
dollars to posit. We hold that deposit for

143
00:11:33,72 --> 00:11:36,76
a year if you have good
standing with the city after

144
00:11:36,76 --> 00:11:42,21
a year it's refunded to your account. And
someone is shut off more than twice in

145
00:11:42,22 --> 00:11:46,39
two years we then consider them a
credit risk we hold the deposit as

146
00:11:46,40 --> 00:11:52,83
a reserve I mean if it they move or what
have you we don't want to be left holding

147
00:11:53,10 --> 00:11:55,08
all those months past due
without some sort of

148
00:11:55,08 --> 00:12:01,24
a deposit on their account. What this
does is it provides a little bit of

149
00:12:01,25 --> 00:12:07,99
a cushion if they do leave
town or. Some other way do not

150
00:12:08,19 --> 00:12:14,74
pay their bill because the water service
that we provide has to be paid for by

151
00:12:14,75 --> 00:12:19,98
someone and that deposit allows us to
pull that money from that otherwise it's

152
00:12:19,99 --> 00:12:24,73
going to be paid by other customers because
it costs the city so much to put that

153
00:12:24,74 --> 00:12:29,60
water out there so the deposit helps to
cover that once they have established

154
00:12:29,61 --> 00:12:36,56
a good credit they can get the deposit
back. So to summarize in prior

155
00:12:36,57 --> 00:12:42,00
to shut off by the time customers water
is disconnected for nonpayment of month

156
00:12:42,04 --> 00:12:48,53
a it is Month see and the customer
has received at least the following

157
00:12:49,08 --> 00:12:55,92
a bill for month. A bill for
month to be. In some cases they

158
00:12:55,93 --> 00:12:59,35
will have received a bill for
month see they will have received

159
00:12:59,36 --> 00:13:03,58
a reminder notice for month a
and they will receive received

160
00:13:03,59 --> 00:13:09,10
a door hanger so in any instance there's
at least four communications from the city

161
00:13:09,98 --> 00:13:16,80
before water is shut off.
Also in addition to that

162
00:13:17,01 --> 00:13:20,39
following receipt of the door
hanger the customer still has

163
00:13:20,40 --> 00:13:24,96
a week after that to either pay the
bill or make payment arrangements.

164
00:13:29,78 --> 00:13:34,04
Customers end up having at least sixty to
seventy five days from receipt of their

165
00:13:34,32 --> 00:13:37,92
bill to pay the bill to make payment or
to make payment arrangements in order to

166
00:13:37,93 --> 00:13:42,46
avoid the shut up prior to shut off almost
three months of past the customer has

167
00:13:42,47 --> 00:13:46,38
received at least two bills at
least one reminder notice and

168
00:13:46,39 --> 00:13:50,87
a door hanger customers have one week after
receipt of the door hanger to pay the

169
00:13:50,88 --> 00:13:56,94
past due amount or make payment
arrangements at any time up until ten am

170
00:13:56,98 --> 00:14:01,80
a shut off day the customer can either pay
the past due bill or make appropriate

171
00:14:01,81 --> 00:14:06,95
payment arrangements to avoid
service interruption and reconnect.

172
00:14:09,30 --> 00:14:13,93
We actually end up doing very few shutoffs
per month we send out we have forty four

173
00:14:13,94 --> 00:14:19,57
hundred customers. Of those customers
the city hand rights and handle livers

174
00:14:19,61 --> 00:14:25,97
approximately two hundred door hangers per
month of those two hundred door hangers

175
00:14:25,98 --> 00:14:31,01
only twenty to twenty two in an average
month actually have their service

176
00:14:31,02 --> 00:14:36,00
disconnected this is less than one half
of one percent of the total amount of our

177
00:14:36,01 --> 00:14:42,78
customers the goal for
this procedure is to make

178
00:14:42,79 --> 00:14:47,80
sure that everyone is treated the same
that they're treated fairly and equitably

179
00:14:48,58 --> 00:14:52,84
the city's billing procedure is designed
so all customers receive the exact same

180
00:14:52,85 --> 00:14:56,28
due process by not making exceptions on

181
00:14:56,29 --> 00:15:02,58
a case by case basis everyone is treated
fairly and equitably. Staff is also not

182
00:15:02,59 --> 00:15:02,83
put in

183
00:15:02,84 --> 00:15:09,71
a position of having to make special
exceptions for any one customer.

184
00:15:11,11 --> 00:15:16,55
That's in that show we would be glad to
answer your questions if you have any

185
00:15:16,55 --> 00:15:23,33
. Thank you Rachael. I have many questions

186
00:15:23,37 --> 00:15:28,93
now but if they're out of town at some point
during the whole process when the door

187
00:15:28,94 --> 00:15:29,93
here goes out.

188
00:15:37,64 --> 00:15:41,61
I think they should have made arrangements
beforehand just like they might have to

189
00:15:41,62 --> 00:15:46,11
do with their mail or their newspaper
However if they called the office because

190
00:15:46,12 --> 00:15:51,81
they suddenly realized. We would you know
we would try to make arrangements but

191
00:15:51,82 --> 00:15:58,59
we're talking seventy five days that they'd
have to do this you know even if before

192
00:15:58,60 --> 00:16:04,75
the door hanger they've already received
three other notices at least I think I

193
00:16:04,76 --> 00:16:07,63
think in some instances if somebody was
actually going to leave for three four

194
00:16:07,64 --> 00:16:11,74
months it's actually cost effective to
actually request the city to shut the water

195
00:16:11,75 --> 00:16:16,42
off padlock it in and pay
reconnection fee. And it may save

196
00:16:16,43 --> 00:16:20,05
a lot of money just by doing that but
that's not very many people in the city but

197
00:16:20,35 --> 00:16:25,18
that's the way to jumble numbers and
actually be cost conservative on part of the

198
00:16:25,19 --> 00:16:30,32
consumer what I believe in Rachel you can
correct me if I'm wrong is that most

199
00:16:30,33 --> 00:16:33,00
people who know that they're
going to be travelling for

200
00:16:33,01 --> 00:16:38,77
a while will prepay their bills
we also don't require if you have

201
00:16:38,79 --> 00:16:42,51
a customer say you you want
to stop your service for

202
00:16:42,52 --> 00:16:45,60
a couple months we don't require you to
pay reconnect fee will actually shut your

203
00:16:45,61 --> 00:16:50,85
service off and then when you come back you
can have it turned back on we've had we

204
00:16:50,86 --> 00:16:52,06
have people that go out of town

205
00:16:52,57 --> 00:16:58,19
a lot of times and those typically aren't
the people that that get shut off I do

206
00:16:58,19 --> 00:17:02,15
want to add one thing about the payment
arrangements it's important to know that in

207
00:17:02,17 --> 00:17:06,37
staying with treating everyone the
same we allow people to make payment

208
00:17:06,39 --> 00:17:10,75
arrangements up to one week passion off
so the following Wednesday is the cut off

209
00:17:10,76 --> 00:17:13,90
and they are still treated the same it's
they've they've received the door hanger

210
00:17:13,90 --> 00:17:17,75
it's still the same but they have to call
the office by ten am or come in and talk

211
00:17:17,76 --> 00:17:22,29
to us to make that arrangement so when
you're talking payment arrangements it's

212
00:17:22,30 --> 00:17:22,76
really only

213
00:17:22,77 --> 00:17:28,92
a one week censors. It begins on the first
day that the bill goes out that we're

214
00:17:28,93 --> 00:17:31,89
willing to help them so the bill is

215
00:17:31,90 --> 00:17:35,29
a lot less on the first day that the
bill goes out than after they've let it

216
00:17:35,30 --> 00:17:39,91
accumulate for three months so we're always
willing to talk to them about payment

217
00:17:39,92 --> 00:17:46,34
arrangements. You know our yearly budget

218
00:17:46,84 --> 00:17:53,25
that we approve there is. A
space that recognizes bad

219
00:17:53,30 --> 00:17:58,51
debt for water and bad debt
for sewer it's not just

220
00:17:58,52 --> 00:18:02,63
a couple thousand dollars I think it's
fifteen thousand dollars twelve thousand

221
00:18:02,64 --> 00:18:09,22
dollars that we never collect you know
we are making an effort to be fair and

222
00:18:09,23 --> 00:18:15,13
equitable we still have that
hardship received by us as

223
00:18:15,15 --> 00:18:19,27
a negative which unfortunately gets passed
on to all the other rate payers that are

224
00:18:19,29 --> 00:18:25,95
honest in doing the right thing. You
know just for clarification then

225
00:18:25,95 --> 00:18:32,58
. The rate payer is behind.
Actually two full months

226
00:18:33,15 --> 00:18:39,49
going into the third month. So they're not
actually behind three full months they

227
00:18:39,50 --> 00:18:44,65
wouldn't be behind three months until the
end of months Correct correct and that's

228
00:18:44,66 --> 00:18:49,44
why what we were trying to track
today is the bill for month

229
00:18:49,48 --> 00:18:55,04
a through shut off because they are they
start overlapping you know if we started

230
00:18:55,05 --> 00:18:57,67
with month to be would be into month to D.

231
00:18:58,22 --> 00:19:02,67
This is our citizens being told that they
have three months before their water gets

232
00:19:02,68 --> 00:19:08,88
turned off no no they're receiving these
notices that give them specific dates

233
00:19:09,46 --> 00:19:13,62
we're not saying at the beginning it says
when you get your bill it's due by the

234
00:19:13,63 --> 00:19:19,45
thirtieth It doesn't say you have three
months to pay this bill as you saw on the

235
00:19:20,09 --> 00:19:21,42
the reminder notice it was

236
00:19:21,43 --> 00:19:28,32
a specific date of the twenty fifth. And
then with the door hangers it falls

237
00:19:28,33 --> 00:19:29,43
to Wednesdays which is

238
00:19:29,44 --> 00:19:34,60
a little bit confusing but that's the day
that those things happen so when there's

239
00:19:34,61 --> 00:19:36,24
a door hanger it's got

240
00:19:36,25 --> 00:19:42,04
a specific date on it so we're always
giving the people specific dates OK I think

241
00:19:42,05 --> 00:19:47,20
we have to be careful I There have been
people to tell me that they've been advised

242
00:19:47,21 --> 00:19:51,21
that they would not have their water turned
off until after three four months of

243
00:19:51,22 --> 00:19:55,46
not not pay and that's from what I'm
seeing here that's not the case from what

244
00:19:55,47 --> 00:19:59,65
you're telling us that's not the case
so I think that the city has to be very

245
00:19:59,66 --> 00:20:01,16
careful that we're not putting out

246
00:20:01,44 --> 00:20:06,24
a three month period that they have to pay
their water before it gets shut off when

247
00:20:06,25 --> 00:20:11,69
in fact it will be shut off before the end
of three months you have seen the exact

248
00:20:11,70 --> 00:20:18,00
information that we're communicating to our
customers that's what they get from us

249
00:20:18,06 --> 00:20:21,24
with dates on them but. Thank you

250
00:20:21,24 --> 00:20:26,62
.

251
00:20:28,31 --> 00:20:34,94

259
00:21:10,47 --> 00:21:17,27
council come up to them to microphones.

260
00:21:20,39 --> 00:21:26,91
The name is Gary Kramer I live at the end
of the hill side. I'm here because I

261
00:21:27,85 --> 00:21:32,58
am sure that eventually someone is going
to be. Injured or killed due to the

262
00:21:32,59 --> 00:21:38,26
conditions of the street it's in
a forested area approximately

263
00:21:38,27 --> 00:21:45,13
a mile long and rises up to an elevation
of about two hundred feet besides cars and

264
00:21:45,14 --> 00:21:46,56
trucks many people use

265
00:21:46,57 --> 00:21:52,87
a street for walking jogging riding bicycles
in the horse's traffic using the road

266
00:21:52,88 --> 00:21:58,31
is increasing in volume and moving faster
in the future with more development the

267
00:21:58,32 --> 00:22:04,74
problem will multiply and surely get worse
there are also blind curve that the

268
00:22:05,24 --> 00:22:11,78
at the bottom with no sidewalks gutters
or curbs on either side of it I believe

269
00:22:11,79 --> 00:22:18,66
this is against the law now but not at
the time hillside developed recently

270
00:22:18,67 --> 00:22:24,59
there has been too much floods blocking the
road and few years ago a three fell on

271
00:22:24,60 --> 00:22:31,39
a moving truck and injured the driver most
dangerously as the road angles up there

272
00:22:31,40 --> 00:22:36,53
are at least two blind spots created by
roller coaster type dips in the road

273
00:22:37,34 --> 00:22:42,58
creating blind spots for the drivers and
pedestrians coming in opposite directions

274
00:22:42,58 --> 00:22:48,95
. Every time I use the road I hold my
breath no one is coming up the other side

275
00:22:48,96 --> 00:22:54,82
when we meet with the thing especially when
somebody is riding my rear and wanting

276
00:22:54,83 --> 00:23:01,50
to go faster anyway I know you
can't do anything about it now

277
00:23:01,51 --> 00:23:07,37
but maybe you could fix
the potholes. Thank you

278
00:23:07,37 --> 00:23:14,28
. Mr

279
00:23:14,29 --> 00:23:19,79
Mayor and my fellow council people my name
is Dean Glaus or as most viewers know in

280
00:23:19,80 --> 00:23:22,36
home. Tonight I have

281
00:23:22,68 --> 00:23:26,51
a mission of two things Number one is
informational and the second is to introduce

282
00:23:26,52 --> 00:23:32,32
somebody very very important that lives
here in the city the first aspect I am

283
00:23:32,33 --> 00:23:38,66
commander of post ninety six of the AMVETS
of California. Most members know that

284
00:23:38,98 --> 00:23:39,94
the V.F.W.

285
00:23:40,13 --> 00:23:44,81
Veterans of foreign leagues exists for
the war's exists in the American Legion

286
00:23:44,82 --> 00:23:51,17
exist each of those. Service Organizations
have certain Mandy's to require

287
00:23:51,17 --> 00:23:56,59
. Specific involvements
during a war time if you are

288
00:23:56,60 --> 00:24:02,94
a veteran of Foreign War you have to be set
foot on foreign land while at war time

289
00:24:02,98 --> 00:24:08,96
for American Legion. Is still wartime
involvements which is World War two Korea

290
00:24:09,00 --> 00:24:15,92
Vietnam. But you didn't set foot on foreign
soil there is another organization

291
00:24:15,93 --> 00:24:18,50
that started in one nine hundred forty S.

292
00:24:19,13 --> 00:24:25,14
Which sort of goes on seeing and I am
representing that tonight AMVETS of America

293
00:24:25,86 --> 00:24:32,33
there are fifty different states that are
call departments. Rather than saying I am

294
00:24:32,34 --> 00:24:38,45
going to California it's
called AMVETS California. It's

295
00:24:38,46 --> 00:24:44,39
a fantastic organization it doesn't have
any other mandates than requiring a D.D.

296
00:24:44,40 --> 00:24:50,64
To fourteen honorable discharge we also
have members that belong to V.F.W.

297
00:24:50,78 --> 00:24:57,23
And American Legion to embrace
what bets can do AMVETS as

298
00:24:57,24 --> 00:25:03,28
dedicated its whole entire organization to
doing what is necessary for the good of

299
00:25:03,29 --> 00:25:10,10
the veteran. Whether it be
physical or mental. Psychological

300
00:25:10,14 --> 00:25:16,52
whatever we will go to any extent that is
legally possible. For representation and

301
00:25:16,53 --> 00:25:23,05
finding them help. I am commander of post
now you six I just got elected I feel

302
00:25:23,06 --> 00:25:27,83
that's really a on our boat position
to do as an introduction for

303
00:25:27,99 --> 00:25:34,88
a gentleman who has lived in Fortuna for
decades he has involved himself with.

304
00:25:34,88 --> 00:25:35,83
V.F.W.

305
00:25:36,26 --> 00:25:42,15
And American Legion but predominately for
Veterans of Foreign Wars. As Commander

306
00:25:42,63 --> 00:25:49,42
district commander. Eight years ago
nine years ago he discovered that vets

307
00:25:49,43 --> 00:25:55,30
was another organization that had more drive
and more to offer to the veterans that

308
00:25:55,31 --> 00:26:01,04
live in the United States as well as
California tonight I am truly honored to

309
00:26:01,05 --> 00:26:06,64
introduce the commander of AMVETS of
the state of California jury Greer

310
00:26:06,64 --> 00:26:11,63
.

311
00:26:14,77 --> 00:26:20,21
Thank you Commander. It's my pleasure to
be here this evening again want to have me

312
00:26:20,22 --> 00:26:24,71
come down enter deuced myself most of you
know me I've been around Europe in your

313
00:26:24,72 --> 00:26:30,41
council meetings before. I was involved
in putting the flagpole in front of the

314
00:26:30,42 --> 00:26:32,46
veterans all over here and do

315
00:26:32,47 --> 00:26:39,17
a lot as an advocate for veterans. I
am very proud to have been elected

316
00:26:39,18 --> 00:26:43,20
a week ago yesterday as a state
commander for M.P.'s it's going to be

317
00:26:43,21 --> 00:26:48,67
a real busy year for me it's running
around all over the state for national

318
00:26:48,68 --> 00:26:50,43
meetings in Washington D.C.

319
00:26:50,44 --> 00:26:52,60
And Maryland so it's going to be

320
00:26:52,61 --> 00:26:58,48
a busy year for me but this is what I
enjoy doing as advocating for my fellow

321
00:26:58,49 --> 00:26:59,78
veterans that don't have

322
00:27:00,07 --> 00:27:05,61
a voice so that's what we're here to do
and I'm very proud to have as one of our

323
00:27:05,62 --> 00:27:11,47
post commanders he's very energetic as
you probably all know and that's what we

324
00:27:11,48 --> 00:27:18,40
need and our local post and such to keep
him going so is my extreme pleasure to

325
00:27:18,41 --> 00:27:23,70
be yours the seeming I have one comment for
yeah I thought about saying that at the

326
00:27:23,71 --> 00:27:29,58
time your flag needs to be
presented with equal facing out

327
00:27:30,41 --> 00:27:34,14
I noticed that as we did the Pledge of
Allegiance but I didn't want to interrupt

328
00:27:34,15 --> 00:27:39,80
your meeting so in the future if you make
an effort to try to display it the right

329
00:27:39,81 --> 00:27:45,65
way it will help other people want to say
thank yous gentlemen ladies and gentlemen

330
00:27:45,73 --> 00:27:48,44
thank you very much graduation

331
00:27:48,70 --> 00:27:53,35
thank

332
00:27:53,35 --> 00:27:55,77
. You

333
00:27:56,54 --> 00:28:03,18
. Jesse seriously I'm president forty

334
00:28:03,18 --> 00:28:08,37
. And. This.

335
00:28:17,39 --> 00:28:17,77
Or about

336
00:28:17,78 --> 00:28:24,23
a week in May around May twelfth to May
seventeenth Mr Gary buckles of Gary our

337
00:28:24,24 --> 00:28:30,54
buckles investigation and council team met
with many city employees and others the

338
00:28:30,55 --> 00:28:35,02
purpose of the meeting was unclear but
for the from the questions and topics

339
00:28:35,03 --> 00:28:39,53
discussed the focus appeared to be related
issues associated with the public works

340
00:28:39,54 --> 00:28:42,85
director. On May twenty third the C.

341
00:28:42,86 --> 00:28:47,23
Manager came to the weekly public works
safety meeting and explained that Mr

342
00:28:47,24 --> 00:28:53,42
Buckles. Was not due any personal investigation
or investigation on any one person

343
00:28:53,68 --> 00:29:00,13
but was doing an analyst's of the organization
This seemed odd since the focus of

344
00:29:00,14 --> 00:29:04,79
discussion with Mr Buckles was mainly
regarding the public works director the city

345
00:29:04,80 --> 00:29:08,100
manager stated that as a result
of the investigation the C.

346
00:29:09,01 --> 00:29:10,17
Manager would be spending

347
00:29:10,18 --> 00:29:16,13
a lot more time at the Public Works
Department at that meeting I asked for

348
00:29:16,14 --> 00:29:20,74
a copy of the report and was told by the
city manager that only the city manager

349
00:29:20,75 --> 00:29:26,83
would see it and then it would be destroyed
it is my understanding that no one else

350
00:29:26,84 --> 00:29:31,77
including the city council city attorney
or department heads will see that report

351
00:29:34,56 --> 00:29:38,54
the only person the city manager has talked
with about the report seems to be the

352
00:29:38,55 --> 00:29:43,81
public works director since this report
was an organizational study and not

353
00:29:43,82 --> 00:29:49,04
a personal investigation and the investigation
and subsequent report were paid for

354
00:29:49,05 --> 00:29:51,31
by taxpayer dollars I am making

355
00:29:51,32 --> 00:29:56,54
a public records request for the following
documents. A copy of the agreement

356
00:29:56,59 --> 00:30:01,18
including scope of work and cost between
the city of Fortuna and Mr Buckles

357
00:30:02,36 --> 00:30:08,83
a copy of any insurance licenses or other
documentation provided to city by Mr

358
00:30:08,84 --> 00:30:14,87
Buckles establishing his coffee qualifications
to perform the study. Copy of the

359
00:30:15,17 --> 00:30:21,88
report prepared by Mr Buckles including
any findings and or recommendations. It

360
00:30:21,89 --> 00:30:27,33
copy of the invoice is paid to Mr Buckles
for the organizational study including

361
00:30:27,34 --> 00:30:30,09
the account numbers and where
the expenses were posted

362
00:30:31,33 --> 00:30:37,01
a copy of any other invoices for costs
related to the organizational study

363
00:30:37,56 --> 00:30:42,13
conducted by Mr Buckles including the
account numbers were and wishes were posted

364
00:30:42,87 --> 00:30:43,41
and I have

365
00:30:43,42 --> 00:30:57,44
a copy of all my requests
for everybody thank you.

366
00:31:02,26 --> 00:31:07,22
Is there anyone else in the
public that would like to speak.

367
00:31:09,56 --> 00:31:11,81
Right you know where. I make

368
00:31:11,82 --> 00:31:18,50
a comment about the
presentation. I don't know

369
00:31:18,50 --> 00:31:23,87
. What to believe show says it nobody's
water is turned off and on but we have

370
00:31:23,88 --> 00:31:28,84
a gentleman who says that his water was
turned off and on. US and all that aside

371
00:31:28,85 --> 00:31:34,88
and go to the policy which is what he said
he wanted to see addressed. He wasn't

372
00:31:34,89 --> 00:31:38,86
arguing with the process he was arguing
the policy the policy is that it ten

373
00:31:38,87 --> 00:31:45,66
o'clock the water is considered turned off.
And the statement was that they had no

374
00:31:45,67 --> 00:31:52,07
way of Notify I think notifying if
somebody comes in what do they do

375
00:31:52,96 --> 00:31:57,17
it's easy to pick up the phone and they
call the person and say Have you turned off

376
00:31:57,18 --> 00:32:03,08
their water if they have it you say you
don't they're here to pay their bill good

377
00:32:03,77 --> 00:32:09,22
except for you charge them one hundred
dollars. And that's the policy that's being

378
00:32:09,80 --> 00:32:14,65
objected to is part of charging somebody
one hundred dollars when in fact the water

379
00:32:14,66 --> 00:32:19,68
has not been turned off this isn't
it so it's it creates sort of

380
00:32:19,69 --> 00:32:26,60
a race to the finish perhaps and it
may be. What you don't want to do but

381
00:32:26,61 --> 00:32:33,07
I want to tell you that the municipal code
which allows the collection the fee this

382
00:32:33,08 --> 00:32:38,72
effectively if water service
is cut off. You may collect

383
00:32:38,73 --> 00:32:43,38
a fee Thank you

384
00:32:43,38 --> 00:32:49,44
. If

385
00:32:50,22 --> 00:32:54,45
anyone else from the public would
like to speak Mr Mayor make

386
00:32:54,46 --> 00:32:59,63
a most closed public comment period. So I
can remove you saying you need to close

387
00:32:59,64 --> 00:33:06,26
public comment home in favor
signify missing and I. Posed.

388
00:33:08,38 --> 00:33:13,22
The other clarification on that one hundred
dollars with the municipal code runs

389
00:33:13,23 --> 00:33:19,76
down sure. Sure you want to answer that.

390
00:33:20,65 --> 00:33:27,05
The Municipal Code states that it's
disconnected the service of disconnecting

391
00:33:27,53 --> 00:33:28,16
may not be

392
00:33:28,17 --> 00:33:33,80
a physical thing that actually happens I'm
not sure if that answers your question

393
00:33:33,81 --> 00:33:40,59
but the hundred dollars on the reconnect
the Is that what you were asking about

394
00:33:40,59 --> 00:33:47,44
. The usual reconnect the A seventy
five dollars if you have had your

395
00:33:47,45 --> 00:33:51,32
water shut off previously then
it goes to one hundred dollars.

396
00:33:54,79 --> 00:34:01,22
And they connect disconnect is it then
o'clock so you can enter the. There's

397
00:34:01,23 --> 00:34:07,57
a lot of things involved in the process
that we're trying to recover other than the

398
00:34:08,28 --> 00:34:13,76
actual turning of the meter because we've
had have invested time and reminder

399
00:34:13,77 --> 00:34:20,16
notices sending out shut off notices door
hangers preparing them having staff go

400
00:34:20,17 --> 00:34:26,40
out so the whole process of the
disconnect is contributing towards the

401
00:34:26,97 --> 00:34:33,56
cost of the reconnect. Do you think that
maybe we need to reword our municipal code

402
00:34:33,57 --> 00:34:38,84
to say what you just said. That's about

403
00:34:38,85 --> 00:34:44,84
a city attorney question is this cutting
out. That's a possibility but there are

404
00:34:44,85 --> 00:34:50,63
a lot of things in the municipal code that
are not clear which is why we establish

405
00:34:50,67 --> 00:34:55,30
standard procedures so that we can try
to implement the intent of the municipal

406
00:34:55,31 --> 00:35:01,75
code fairly and equitably to all of
our customers. So we started on that

407
00:35:02,67 --> 00:35:09,32
we certainly can clarify it. The amount
the exact amount I don't that's set by

408
00:35:09,33 --> 00:35:10,04
council.

409
00:35:18,65 --> 00:35:22,25
Maybe we should you know we should just
look at it again to make sure we're right

410
00:35:22,26 --> 00:35:26,52
in the in the municipal code so if
we go back we've been going through

411
00:35:26,53 --> 00:35:31,55
a lot of that over the last few years and
it's something we can. Certainly we can

412
00:35:31,56 --> 00:35:36,70
do and I think our municipal code went
along with our policy instead of our work

413
00:35:36,71 --> 00:35:42,17
trying to justify our policy and almost
matches human and municipal code can be

414
00:35:42,18 --> 00:35:48,46
nice if we could fix that just just to
clarify it doesn't contradict the municipal

415
00:35:48,47 --> 00:35:52,37
code in a lot of cases the
municipal code is written

416
00:35:52,50 --> 00:35:57,98
a little bit generically and then we do
establish policies and procedures to carry

417
00:35:57,99 --> 00:36:04,53
out the municipal code it doesn't
necessarily match verbatim what we're doing

418
00:36:05,40 --> 00:36:10,01
OK. You know the comments

419
00:36:10,01 --> 00:36:15,80
. Moving on the next item on the agenda is

420
00:36:15,80 --> 00:36:20,83
a report for just using
the money. That's always

421
00:36:20,84 --> 00:36:27,60
a tough one I hate giving money away.
Well clarification like giving money away

422
00:36:27,61 --> 00:36:28,20
you're paying for

423
00:36:28,21 --> 00:36:33,24
a meal Yes I mean for services services
delivered that's all of this is

424
00:36:33,25 --> 00:36:38,35
a report of our disbursements for June
twentieth. To the city council and to the

425
00:36:38,36 --> 00:36:43,17
Redevelopment Agency the disbursements
for the city were one hundred forty two

426
00:36:43,18 --> 00:36:47,54
thousand four hundred ninety three
dollars ninety eight cents and for the

427
00:36:47,54 --> 00:36:54,36
redevelopment agency one thousand two hundred
fifty dollars. It's an oral report no

428
00:36:54,36 --> 00:36:59,88
action by the council is required.
QUESTION And if you know

429
00:36:59,88 --> 00:37:05,79
. We're you know and I don't five which is
the Consent Calendar and we have eight I

430
00:37:05,79 --> 00:37:12,57
don't think Allen or any of the
council wish to pull any item.

431
00:37:12,57 --> 00:37:17,99
Mr Mayor number seven and
number eight. I know it's not

432
00:37:18,00 --> 00:37:24,65
a question on number two.
Mr Merriman to most to

433
00:37:24,66 --> 00:37:31,40
approve consent counter-arguments
number one three four five and six

434
00:37:32,12 --> 00:37:38,97
so it's been moving to do Pru can say
counting right I'm on three four

435
00:37:39,01 --> 00:37:42,17
five and six all in favor
signify by saying I

436
00:37:42,17 --> 00:37:49,16
. Asked that we start with number

437
00:37:49,17 --> 00:37:55,80
two we would like to. Development
Report. On the sub subdivision

438
00:37:55,81 --> 00:38:01,36
status report on page ten there are three
subdivisions that are expiring within the

439
00:38:01,37 --> 00:38:04,73
next three months and I just wanted to
make sure that those people are being

440
00:38:04,74 --> 00:38:10,90
contacted and that they will not be allowed
to expire without anyone realizing it.

441
00:38:10,90 --> 00:38:16,69
So noted Do you. Think the last time I
brought that up they're automatically

442
00:38:16,70 --> 00:38:22,06
extended or is an automatic extension of
the freebie Yes but what we will make sure

443
00:38:22,07 --> 00:38:28,02
there is adequate notice. I make the
most to approve item number two

444
00:38:28,02 --> 00:38:33,41
. So the second to do approve item number
two on the favorite thing if I was in

445
00:38:33,42 --> 00:38:40,20
a right and I. Thought. Item
number seven I don't number seven

446
00:38:40,20 --> 00:38:46,80
. This is about River Lodge and the

447
00:38:46,81 --> 00:38:52,51
bottom I'm an advocate of the
gift shop sales. This year

448
00:38:52,51 --> 00:38:59,41
. They're trying something
new which was to. Continue

449
00:38:59,42 --> 00:39:02,58
selling foreign like
products but also to have

450
00:39:02,68 --> 00:39:09,45
a second. Products sale which
started with the thirteenth and I

451
00:39:09,46 --> 00:39:15,03
heard that the first increment of components
the six hundred items that they got

452
00:39:15,07 --> 00:39:21,52
were sold out immediately so they went and
got another six hundred delivered. And

453
00:39:21,53 --> 00:39:26,67
I'm assuming the same feeding frenzy occurred
on that so I guess my question is how

454
00:39:26,68 --> 00:39:30,81
many times can we do the seconds until
we run out the seconds because it's

455
00:39:30,82 --> 00:39:36,68
benefiting both this the city for the gift
shop sales as well as fire and light.

456
00:39:36,68 --> 00:39:39,11
But I'm definitely in favor
of this if we can do this on

457
00:39:39,12 --> 00:39:46,02
a yearly or by by yearly by annually
whatever we need to embrace it. For

458
00:39:46,51 --> 00:39:53,05
item number eight on page twenty
seven. For the public this is

459
00:39:53,06 --> 00:39:53,79
a consideration of

460
00:39:53,80 --> 00:39:58,54
a request for to the concert series to
waive the fee for the river large in the

461
00:39:58,55 --> 00:40:01,61
co-sponsor Air Force jazz

462
00:40:01,62 --> 00:40:08,30
a band concert. And the fee that has been
requested to be waived is the daily fee

463
00:40:08,31 --> 00:40:12,76
of eight hundred fifty dollars and I just
want to point out that that is for the

464
00:40:12,77 --> 00:40:17,08
whole entire day the period of time the
disbands going to be there is not going to

465
00:40:17,09 --> 00:40:24,01
be eight hours it will be far far shorter
than that so. The cost technically is not

466
00:40:24,02 --> 00:40:25,90
that much but still had

467
00:40:25,91 --> 00:40:30,46
a court date on fifty dollars and I am
definitely in favor of that any time you can

468
00:40:30,47 --> 00:40:36,59
bring some patriotic service branch band
to arst city and let people listen to

469
00:40:36,60 --> 00:40:40,68
these professionals that are serving our
country and providing all this wonderful

470
00:40:40,69 --> 00:40:46,51
music I'm truly in favor of it so what that
Mr Mayor I make a motion approved. And

471
00:40:46,52 --> 00:40:52,54
a free concert yes. Stephanie there is
there any comments on either one of those

472
00:40:52,55 --> 00:40:55,75
items seven number eight
with the Air Force

473
00:40:55,76 --> 00:41:01,00
a jazz band I was very honored when Kareen
and Jim Stanfield brought to this idea

474
00:41:01,01 --> 00:41:05,88
to me and then in turn to
the city and I think it's

475
00:41:05,89 --> 00:41:11,95
a great program I don't know that there
were it has been some discussion about

476
00:41:11,96 --> 00:41:17,45
maybe if we could see that they could do
two programs on that day rather than just

477
00:41:17,46 --> 00:41:24,40
one but so it might be more
than an hour or length you know

478
00:41:24,63 --> 00:41:29,86
our two could be longer depending on if
it's an afternoon concert in the maybe an

479
00:41:29,90 --> 00:41:31,40
evening concert because it is on

480
00:41:31,41 --> 00:41:38,28
a Sunday but it any rate I'm sure that
whatever venue they it's going to be packed

481
00:41:38,28 --> 00:41:44,67
. Especially if they do have just one
program but I was very honored I'm

482
00:41:45,36 --> 00:41:50,35
glad to see this on the consent
of June. OK With that I make

483
00:41:50,36 --> 00:41:55,54
a motion to approve five number seven and
eight Second it moved and seconded to

484
00:41:55,55 --> 00:42:01,75
approve item seven and eight figure
signify by saying I. Approved

485
00:42:02,60 --> 00:42:08,41
I mean on to the business items for
tonight's meeting. The first item is

486
00:42:08,42 --> 00:42:14,21
a public hearing city of fourteen urban
water management plan after resolution two

487
00:42:14,22 --> 00:42:20,39
thousand and eleven dash twenty five main
presenting the staff report this evening

488
00:42:20,40 --> 00:42:26,13
is Dennis Ryan our Director of Public Works
and city engineer. Thank you doing good

489
00:42:26,14 --> 00:42:29,82
evening honorable mayor and council members
they got to be for you at this time it

490
00:42:29,83 --> 00:42:30,31
is

491
00:42:30,32 --> 00:42:36,16
a public hearing to consider adopting. Urban
no water management plan for the city

492
00:42:36,17 --> 00:42:41,21
of Fortuna the city has recently contracted
with environmental and freshwater

493
00:42:41,22 --> 00:42:45,96
environmental services to assist in the
preparation of an update to the city's

494
00:42:45,97 --> 00:42:49,24
urban water management plan the plan is

495
00:42:49,25 --> 00:42:54,10
a regulatory requirement geared primarily
toward the efficient operation and

496
00:42:54,11 --> 00:42:57,39
maintenance of water
systems and it does have

497
00:42:57,40 --> 00:43:03,77
a focus on water conservation and drought.
Emergency Planning City last prepared

498
00:43:03,81 --> 00:43:08,86
a plan in two thousand and although the
plan is required to be updated every five

499
00:43:08,87 --> 00:43:13,67
years the city did not update their plan
in two thousand and five the two thousand

500
00:43:13,68 --> 00:43:19,16
and ten update deadline was postponed to
July thirtieth two thousand and eleven due

501
00:43:19,17 --> 00:43:24,49
to significant changes both in the program
and in the plan requirements although

502
00:43:24,50 --> 00:43:24,89
this is

503
00:43:24,90 --> 00:43:29,56
a regular Tory requirement in the past
there's been little incentive to update

504
00:43:29,57 --> 00:43:34,89
these plans especially in geographic areas
similar to the NOR state who typically

505
00:43:34,90 --> 00:43:41,08
see very small population growth little
history of water shortage and water

506
00:43:41,09 --> 00:43:47,09
supplies that have historically been
abundant the north coast has also seen

507
00:43:47,13 --> 00:43:49,95
a significant decrease in water demand as

508
00:43:49,96 --> 00:43:56,56
a result of several of our local businesses
going out of business. The current

509
00:43:57,35 --> 00:44:00,31
urban water management plan
has recently been added as

510
00:44:00,32 --> 00:44:04,91
a requirement to receiving certain grant
funds associated to the Department of

511
00:44:04,92 --> 00:44:08,98
Water Resources including several of the
programs to which the city has submitted

512
00:44:08,99 --> 00:44:13,78
grant applications therefore obviously
the incentive to update urban water

513
00:44:13,79 --> 00:44:19,41
management plans has changed pretty
dramatically. The plan that requires the urban

514
00:44:19,42 --> 00:44:24,38
water suppliers report described in about
you eight four major areas water to.

515
00:44:24,51 --> 00:44:30,69
Reason uses water supply sources official
water uses and demand measurement

516
00:44:31,35 --> 00:44:36,21
management measures which are can be thought
of as best management practices for

517
00:44:36,22 --> 00:44:40,66
the operation of the water
system. We have prepared

518
00:44:40,67 --> 00:44:46,52
a plan it's quite lengthy It's quite
detailed the plan does not answer every

519
00:44:46,53 --> 00:44:51,70
question but it does describe a
timing and A It sets a a template or

520
00:44:51,71 --> 00:44:56,99
a plan for completing all of the items that
are regulatory requirements and one of

521
00:44:56,100 --> 00:45:01,42
the things that is very interesting to
note is that it does force you to look at

522
00:45:01,43 --> 00:45:07,46
your water consumption historically and if
you look at the graph on page two of the

523
00:45:07,47 --> 00:45:12,27
report this is on page thirty of the council
packet you will notice that over the

524
00:45:12,28 --> 00:45:14,58
past five years there has been

525
00:45:14,59 --> 00:45:19,97
a significant decrease in water consumption
within the city and we believe that

526
00:45:19,98 --> 00:45:20,69
this is

527
00:45:20,89 --> 00:45:27,31
a definite factor of being more
conscious of and conscientious

528
00:45:27,35 --> 00:45:33,11
about the use of water within the city
associated with the new water rates that

529
00:45:33,12 --> 00:45:38,55
were implemented five years ago. The
procedural and I should also mention that you

530
00:45:38,56 --> 00:45:44,00
will see and we will talk about that
considerably in more depth and in much longer

531
00:45:44,54 --> 00:45:49,00
more detail when we talk about our
water and sewer rates that has had

532
00:45:49,01 --> 00:45:55,55
a significant impact on how we structure
those rates the procedural requirements

533
00:45:55,56 --> 00:45:57,38
require several things including

534
00:45:57,39 --> 00:46:02,90
a fifteen day public notice prior to the
public hearing of the plan it requires

535
00:46:02,91 --> 00:46:07,32
City Council review and approval it must
the plan must be available for public

536
00:46:07,33 --> 00:46:13,47
review during normal business hours at least
thirty days prior to submittal to the

537
00:46:13,53 --> 00:46:18,13
Department of Water Resources it's required
to be submitted to the Department of

538
00:46:18,14 --> 00:46:23,17
Water Resources and it also must be submitted
to the California State Library and

539
00:46:23,18 --> 00:46:29,17
we have taken care of. The noticing
requirements this is the public hearing to

540
00:46:29,18 --> 00:46:35,71
consider City Council review and approval
and draft copy is included in this plan

541
00:46:36,55 --> 00:46:42,10
if Council chooses to adopt this plan we
will take care of the making it available

542
00:46:42,11 --> 00:46:46,67
for the required time and posting at both
submitting it to both the Department of

543
00:46:46,68 --> 00:46:53,57
Water Resources and the California State
Library. The plan as I mentioned is quite

544
00:46:53,58 --> 00:46:57,24
lengthy there is one other thing
that council should be aware of as

545
00:46:57,25 --> 00:47:04,20
a result of this process we are pursuing
clarification documents that have bounced

546
00:47:04,21 --> 00:47:09,56
around the city for many years in regards
to surface water rights on the year

547
00:47:09,57 --> 00:47:13,72
wherever we're talking with the apartment
of water resources there are some details

548
00:47:13,73 --> 00:47:17,99
that may come out of those conversations
that may require some modifications to

549
00:47:18,00 --> 00:47:23,28
this plan it will be quite some time before
those questions are answered We would

550
00:47:24,13 --> 00:47:27,83
suggest that this plan be adopted at this
point in time and depending upon the

551
00:47:27,84 --> 00:47:31,35
outcome of those conversations we
consider whether or not modifications are

552
00:47:31,36 --> 00:47:35,47
required to the player would be more than
happy to answer any questions of counsel

553
00:47:35,48 --> 00:47:41,52
may have. Any questions of staff this time

554
00:47:43,35 --> 00:47:43,60
just

555
00:47:43,61 --> 00:47:50,47
a comment or two you get seventy five pages
of writing here and I've found it very

556
00:47:50,48 --> 00:47:53,84
difficult to find any meat on the bone
of this thing that's what we're going to

557
00:47:53,85 --> 00:48:00,35
take as well as the doing we either
respond in the negative. It's not

558
00:48:00,36 --> 00:48:06,79
a likable the Fortuna or another statement
on here that it's given quite often with

559
00:48:06,80 --> 00:48:10,87
the D M M's is not a foundational E.M.M.

560
00:48:10,89 --> 00:48:12,55
So. It's

561
00:48:12,55 --> 00:48:18,48
a nice historic. And that says we're going
to do some things in the future but it

562
00:48:19,25 --> 00:48:21,30
sounds like you I mean to
me it looks like you did

563
00:48:21,32 --> 00:48:28,14
a lot of work to satisfy the
state requirement that. At least

564
00:48:28,76 --> 00:48:29,21
tell us

565
00:48:29,22 --> 00:48:35,71
a plea I'm not going to argue that point
Parker is here with freshwater Environmental

566
00:48:35,75 --> 00:48:40,21
Services and he can he's the one that
actually prepared the plan if you have

567
00:48:40,22 --> 00:48:44,93
specific questions of him be more than happy
to make him available to answer those

568
00:48:44,94 --> 00:48:50,11
questions in response based upon the level
of detail that I am familiar with the

569
00:48:50,12 --> 00:48:56,88
report you are required to address certain
specific items and you have three or

570
00:48:56,89 --> 00:49:02,54
four different courses of action to document
your consideration of those of those

571
00:49:02,88 --> 00:49:07,98
topics and those are the elements that
you identified of either done something

572
00:49:07,99 --> 00:49:12,14
about it it's not applicable you can
demonstrate I think that it's not financially

573
00:49:12,15 --> 00:49:17,70
feasible and then the foundational element
I believe and maybe or in can provide

574
00:49:17,99 --> 00:49:22,64
additional clarification but I believe
that that's not like one of the required

575
00:49:22,74 --> 00:49:27,37
elements you can adopt it if you so
choose it's not basically correct or

576
00:49:27,37 --> 00:49:32,77
. You could you come to the
mike please do that we

577
00:49:32,77 --> 00:49:39,22
. Think thank you or to address
the foundational do you

578
00:49:39,60 --> 00:49:46,08
demand management measures in the program
rather measures. More options and the

579
00:49:46,09 --> 00:49:51,72
fact that you've seen such dramatic
reductions in gallons used per person per day

580
00:49:52,50 --> 00:49:57,54
is the gallons per capita per day that keeps
coming up in the discussion there. As

581
00:49:57,55 --> 00:50:03,71
you've already seen some drastic actions
it gets you. To do some of those programs

582
00:50:04,36 --> 00:50:11,17
but there still may be good reasons for
looking at those in the future are

583
00:50:11,18 --> 00:50:16,85
so far under stated goals in this
report that. We're going to need

584
00:50:16,86 --> 00:50:18,01
a lot more houses and

585
00:50:18,02 --> 00:50:24,75
a lot more people to get the gallons per
use per day figure up to our. Both to have

586
00:50:25,00 --> 00:50:28,90
less less rights we've
done a really good guys

587
00:50:28,91 --> 00:50:32,84
a really good. Use of the
consumption person it's

588
00:50:32,85 --> 00:50:39,49
a good thing. Because the closure of
the mill site. Here in town does that

589
00:50:39,58 --> 00:50:46,51
attribute to the Leslie Knope consumption
is that factored in the gallons.

590
00:50:46,51 --> 00:50:53,20
Per capita per day figure gallons per capita
to per day is based on your amount of

591
00:50:53,21 --> 00:51:00,08
water that's produced. By your
population if your town had two

592
00:51:00,09 --> 00:51:05,80
percent or more of your water for industrial
uses the process by which you could

593
00:51:05,84 --> 00:51:12,33
eliminate those. Of the bench
total production divided by

594
00:51:12,34 --> 00:51:16,43
population. With these reductions or gals

595
00:51:16,43 --> 00:51:21,96
.

596
00:51:24,45 --> 00:51:31,22
You. Thank you for being here. At the
end nice meeting you in the audience

597
00:51:31,22 --> 00:51:38,05
. It is very unique that we've done
the sewer water increases which

598
00:51:38,68 --> 00:51:45,12
ironically have facilitated meeting some
of these mandates and I decided to tweak

599
00:51:45,13 --> 00:51:50,69
the numbers I was like play numbers now
coming up with at least the bases. Into the

600
00:51:50,70 --> 00:51:56,77
year two thousand going by the hundred
thirty two gallons per day that works out to

601
00:51:56,78 --> 00:52:00,27
five hundred fifty five
cubic feet so if you have

602
00:52:00,28 --> 00:52:07,14
a water bill that reflects that and
you're under that guess what. You're

603
00:52:07,15 --> 00:52:09,24
close but you're still

604
00:52:09,25 --> 00:52:16,21
a little bit above. The low amount which
is way below the target of two fifty

605
00:52:16,25 --> 00:52:19,97
two thousand and fifteen in two thousand
and twenty the low amount that's been

606
00:52:19,98 --> 00:52:25,74
reflected right now is an average
of four hundred thirty. Cubic Feet

607
00:52:25,74 --> 00:52:31,99
. And I think some of us up here. Could
probably combine both of ours together and

608
00:52:32,00 --> 00:52:33,60
come up with four hundred thirty so

609
00:52:33,90 --> 00:52:40,74
a lot of people are meeting that requirement
and. The program for Bond pay back

610
00:52:41,23 --> 00:52:45,76
has made that happen although there are
other people that the sky's the limit and

611
00:52:45,77 --> 00:52:50,84
they have a lot of things in their home and
we can't find them in penalty but it's

612
00:52:50,85 --> 00:52:55,73
a averaging mathematical averaging concept
that what you are referring to that we

613
00:52:55,74 --> 00:53:02,43
go by. You have material
information in here

614
00:53:02,96 --> 00:53:09,45
that. Reflected Scotia. And what
happens in Scotia stays in Scotia

615
00:53:09,82 --> 00:53:11,66
what happens super tuna as

616
00:53:11,67 --> 00:53:16,04
a water supply stays in unfortunate and
we definitely don't distribute our water

617
00:53:16,05 --> 00:53:22,26
anyplace else. Which is interesting
is but that's it's in house

618
00:53:22,82 --> 00:53:29,52
and what you reported as components of
the breakdown of materials that were

619
00:53:30,31 --> 00:53:34,81
negative not what you want to find in
our water I'm not sure whether that was

620
00:53:34,82 --> 00:53:39,66
reflected because of Scotia's breakdown
the manganese and so forth we don't have

621
00:53:39,67 --> 00:53:45,62
stinky water in Fortuna it comes from
old river bar old old river base that

622
00:53:46,27 --> 00:53:50,89
thousands of years ago used to be above
the bluffs where the trap club is but it

623
00:53:50,90 --> 00:53:55,95
just swings around and does what it wants
to do. And the volume of water that you

624
00:53:55,99 --> 00:54:02,47
refer to is. I personally think that we
have probably one the best water supplies

625
00:54:02,48 --> 00:54:06,49
in the state of California because of
people in the valley are trying to force

626
00:54:06,50 --> 00:54:11,11
mandates against us to change our ways
when technically we don't have anything to

627
00:54:11,12 --> 00:54:16,72
say about their water supply that comes
from Shasta or from the Sierras so you know

628
00:54:16,73 --> 00:54:22,66
we do have the best of the best the best
water we don't have to be paying homage to

629
00:54:23,06 --> 00:54:28,65
municipal water works we don't have to worry
about the poor quality of water in Rio

630
00:54:28,66 --> 00:54:34,72
deal or the limited supply of water that's
in Scotia so. It was good information I

631
00:54:34,73 --> 00:54:40,48
plowed right through it and found some
some stuff interesting and one of them was

632
00:54:40,49 --> 00:54:43,32
on page five in the year
two thousand and ten

633
00:54:43,36 --> 00:54:49,33
a total of four hundred forty million
gallons of water were pumped from our wells

634
00:54:49,58 --> 00:54:55,81
to the city of Fortuna that works out
to one million two hundred five.

635
00:54:55,81 --> 00:55:00,25
Gallons per day which is

636
00:55:00,29 --> 00:55:02,81
a phenomenal amount to use and must been

637
00:55:02,82 --> 00:55:07,02
a lot of fire trucks squirting
out of that day. Or

638
00:55:07,03 --> 00:55:10,88
a lot of watering for our parks But anyway
thank you very much for providing this

639
00:55:10,89 --> 00:55:16,09
and and it's great to be able to not have
to jump through any more state hoops

640
00:55:16,14 --> 00:55:22,44
because we've already met Dakota steps.
We will do well you're bringing your

641
00:55:22,45 --> 00:55:26,76
projection of growth like it was one point
three percent per year. I don't think

642
00:55:26,77 --> 00:55:29,20
that's going to come into play you
know every we were going through

643
00:55:29,21 --> 00:55:34,66
a crisis in our state and I'll take the
growth is going to accrue to that level we

644
00:55:34,67 --> 00:55:38,28
did for twelve years really
jump high on the hog and be

645
00:55:38,29 --> 00:55:42,16
a lot of homes and relocate people from
elsewhere but I don't think that's going to

646
00:55:42,17 --> 00:55:48,43
come into play though probably
in our favor Thank you. And even

647
00:55:48,65 --> 00:55:53,76
a quick one on office or in our dentist
but there are several references to items

648
00:55:53,77 --> 00:55:58,16
that are going to be completed or implemented
by July two thousand and twelve who's

649
00:55:58,17 --> 00:56:02,08
doing that who's keeping track of all of
those things and making sure we get them

650
00:56:02,09 --> 00:56:06,96
all done the city people will be
responsible for keeping track of those and

651
00:56:07,00 --> 00:56:13,73
completing those and so where it says
R D M M L conservation corner is

652
00:56:13,74 --> 00:56:17,07
freshwater Omar mental What are they
going to do exactly them versus what the

653
00:56:17,08 --> 00:56:20,69
city's going to do they will be reminding
us of things that we need to do and will

654
00:56:20,70 --> 00:56:23,85
be determining whether or not it would
be most cost effective for us to clean

655
00:56:23,100 --> 00:56:29,38
complete those in the house or have them
take the primary lead in completion of

656
00:56:29,39 --> 00:56:34,75
those items is and then and that cost for
that service will be taken out of the

657
00:56:34,76 --> 00:56:37,65
enterprise Yes and of that currently

658
00:56:37,66 --> 00:56:41,58
a budget item that we're going to be
talking about tomorrow it's not been taken

659
00:56:41,59 --> 00:56:46,04
into account for the two thousand level
but it's included in excuse me under

660
00:56:46,05 --> 00:56:49,59
consultation services I
don't know that there is

661
00:56:49,60 --> 00:56:56,10
a specific item for each one of those items
but it is estimated in that consulting

662
00:56:56,11 --> 00:57:00,60
services. You know one of our if I'm
reading War and if you try to do better

663
00:57:00,60 --> 00:57:07,57
. Yeah you're smart guy.

664
00:57:07,57 --> 00:57:14,44
Then it's good to speak to the educated
water rights that the city. May or may

665
00:57:14,45 --> 00:57:19,84
not have it seems to me in the general
plan does get back on the discussion that

666
00:57:20,44 --> 00:57:26,90
our subsurface. Pumping
from the basin was fairly

667
00:57:26,91 --> 00:57:33,56
secure. I don't is that we don't take
surface water off the heel river it's

668
00:57:34,11 --> 00:57:38,39
two different things or is that the same
thing that happens to be the question that

669
00:57:38,40 --> 00:57:43,38
we're primarily investigating with the
Department of Water Resources what we have

670
00:57:43,39 --> 00:57:50,25
found is that due to if you are seems
to be fairly anxious to assign

671
00:57:50,48 --> 00:57:56,57
surface water rights to anything that they
think may even remotely be related I'm

672
00:57:56,58 --> 00:58:00,32
not sure what the philosophy is behind
that but there are many questions around

673
00:58:00,33 --> 00:58:03,55
that particular item that we are
pursuing what do you do if you are

674
00:58:03,55 --> 00:58:10,39
. Well you talked

675
00:58:10,40 --> 00:58:16,42
about on page sixty seven. Plans
to fully implement the D M

676
00:58:17,18 --> 00:58:20,86
G By July and then it says all these things
are going to do you what do you mean by

677
00:58:20,87 --> 00:58:22,50
contacts with the public four times

678
00:58:22,51 --> 00:58:28,46
a year there will actually be public
education outreach programs where we will go

679
00:58:28,47 --> 00:58:29,93
to schools or we will have

680
00:58:30,76 --> 00:58:36,12
a president will make presentations.
So any time you go somewhere say

681
00:58:36,13 --> 00:58:40,92
a school or wherever it might be that's
considered one of your four appearances yes

682
00:58:41,06 --> 00:58:41,67
and it could be

683
00:58:41,68 --> 00:58:45,18
a Rotary Club It could be term
programmers it could be I want us to be

684
00:58:45,19 --> 00:58:50,38
a council thing where we have to do this
work you don't have to do that. And you

685
00:58:50,39 --> 00:58:57,29
know that occasion programs would be
basically conservation This is all. Seventy

686
00:58:57,30 --> 00:59:03,10
some pages on conservation simply it's
focused on conservation and drought planning

687
00:59:03,11 --> 00:59:03,72
and management

688
00:59:03,72 --> 00:59:10,24
.

689
00:59:11,90 --> 00:59:16,52
Public he went on the public that would
like to address this matter and now take

690
00:59:16,53 --> 00:59:23,52
the podium please. To close
public comment second

691
00:59:23,53 --> 00:59:24,91
the motion removed in

692
00:59:24,96 --> 00:59:28,99
a second to close public comment
ever signify by saying I I thought I

693
00:59:28,99 --> 00:59:35,63
. Was the pleasure of the
Council. I'll move to adopt

694
00:59:35,64 --> 00:59:38,84
a resolution two thousand and eleven dash
twenty five and read by title of the

695
00:59:39,46 --> 00:59:44,16
second the motion it's been moved and
seconded to approve Resolution two thousand

696
00:59:44,17 --> 00:59:45,42
and eleven dash twenty five

697
00:59:45,43 --> 00:59:50,39
a resolution of the city council of the
city for the urban water management plan

698
00:59:51,39 --> 00:59:51,62
just

699
00:59:51,63 --> 00:59:59,09
a question. On the resolution itself on
about the seventh warehouse down below.

700
00:59:59,09 --> 01:00:03,70
It says the city did not receive any
comments and that at least with mine looks

701
01:00:03,71 --> 01:00:08,88
like shaded so that's taken
out it will be yeah it's

702
01:00:08,89 --> 01:00:15,00
a statement of fact but we didn't know it
to be true until now stays in so stay and

703
01:00:15,89 --> 01:00:20,86
you. Get. To be

704
01:00:20,87 --> 01:00:26,91
a local council member cause or Yes Ma'am
from some member long yes some are lousy

705
01:00:27,03 --> 01:00:33,91
Yes Remember I'm strong. I'm sorry
mair pro-tem stance here yes. It's

706
01:00:33,92 --> 01:00:34,05
been

707
01:00:34,06 --> 01:00:42,32
a while since that one stroke yes. Next

708
01:00:42,33 --> 01:00:47,60
item on the agenda is to consider adoption
as Council policy and procedures manual

709
01:00:47,81 --> 01:00:52,86
and operates Aleutian two thousand and
eleven dash fourteen. American Council

710
01:00:52,87 --> 01:00:58,48
members this is really your project this
was something that the city council had

711
01:00:58,49 --> 01:00:58,73
made

712
01:00:58,74 --> 01:01:04,92
a desire statement about particularly
brought forward by mirror struggle and you

713
01:01:04,93 --> 01:01:10,83
have been working as you know on several
workshops sessions in the early mornings.

714
01:01:10,83 --> 01:01:16,68
I think there were four of them if I
remember correctly. Staff provided you with

715
01:01:16,69 --> 01:01:22,92
a couple of options of various examples
from other cities you've selected one that

716
01:01:22,93 --> 01:01:28,52
was probably more in tune with Fortuna
and then went about modifying adding

717
01:01:28,53 --> 01:01:34,99
correction and making it for to his own and
so you know more about this product and

718
01:01:35,06 --> 01:01:41,49
certainly his I was there with you your
city attorney was. But this was I think

719
01:01:41,50 --> 01:01:47,17
a very big step forward and so staff is
presented to you this evening based on your

720
01:01:47,18 --> 01:01:51,75
last workshop where you seem to be pleased
with what the file modifications were

721
01:01:52,20 --> 01:01:57,29
and is being brought to you for adoption
and at this time I'd also like to make

722
01:01:57,30 --> 01:02:01,01
a point of thanking Linda
Jensen she did quite

723
01:02:01,02 --> 01:02:05,74
a bit of work on researching this and also
following the corrections and providing

724
01:02:05,75 --> 01:02:08,45
you know those documents
and was it was quite

725
01:02:08,46 --> 01:02:15,37
a bit of work and I thank you. So
staff is so suggest in proposing

726
01:02:15,38 --> 01:02:19,53
that you adopt this manual through the
doctrine of resolution two thousand and

727
01:02:19,54 --> 01:02:25,32
fourteen. I you know. I like the process
we went through to come up with this

728
01:02:25,33 --> 01:02:28,83
handbook we really. Prior
counsels there wasn't

729
01:02:29,57 --> 01:02:34,37
a guideline for anybody new coming on the
council to kind of understand what the

730
01:02:34,38 --> 01:02:39,27
council was all about and some of its
responsibilities I think what we were able to

731
01:02:39,28 --> 01:02:41,19
accomplish was to come up with at least

732
01:02:41,69 --> 01:02:47,26
a national handbook to start out and for
everybody. It's something that can be

733
01:02:47,27 --> 01:02:50,17
changed in the future would. Linda did

734
01:02:50,18 --> 01:02:53,55
a fantastic job of gathering
and books from I do

735
01:02:53,56 --> 01:02:57,92
a few different cities that we had to read
and choose and pick from and human to

736
01:02:58,35 --> 01:03:03,07
listen to us through all of our meetings
and did all of our corrections and ceteris

737
01:03:03,73 --> 01:03:06,81
and. It came out I think it came out to be

738
01:03:06,82 --> 01:03:12,51
a good document anyway that's my comment
he made on so many comments on it you know

739
01:03:12,52 --> 01:03:19,16
I just want to excuse me. Thank you so
Linda she was very patient with us and she

740
01:03:19,17 --> 01:03:25,07
had helped us with wording and ideas and
was going to contact cetera et cetera et

741
01:03:25,08 --> 01:03:31,54
cetera in. The end product that's an actual
product legalese on it's well worth it

742
01:03:31,54 --> 01:03:38,37
. It's also I want to thank Linda to
them for the work she did but it's also

743
01:03:38,37 --> 01:03:45,10
. A reference to the public to look at to
see how we are supposed to conduct our

744
01:03:45,11 --> 01:03:51,90
business and make sure that we do that our
own rules so again thank you Linda if

745
01:03:52,12 --> 01:03:56,87
you don't give the public they want to be
candidates actually know what they're up

746
01:03:56,88 --> 01:03:58,25
to as

747
01:03:58,26 --> 01:04:04,20
a recruiter cry when snob Legations rather
than coming in extreme you know naive

748
01:04:04,20 --> 01:04:11,15
. Nine years ago. And learning
from the very get go that we have

749
01:04:11,16 --> 01:04:17,75
a lot to do. But yeah great job
Linda and you facilitated it we we

750
01:04:17,96 --> 01:04:21,08
absconded workers from from
other cities and made it

751
01:04:21,44 --> 01:04:27,32
a wonderful wonderful workshop bookstore
Thanks. I think it also will help the

752
01:04:27,33 --> 01:04:30,58
public if they actually look at it when
they are wanting the Council to intervene

753
01:04:30,59 --> 01:04:34,88
or help them with something they'll realize
just what the council is supposed to do

754
01:04:34,89 --> 01:04:39,31
versus what the city manager and city is
doubtless supposed to do so that I think

755
01:04:39,32 --> 01:04:40,59
will be helpful in the future too

756
01:04:40,59 --> 01:04:48,10
.

757
01:04:48,10 --> 01:04:50,65
I don't know if you could hear Linda at
that time but she said it's going to be

758
01:04:50,66 --> 01:04:57,62
available on the website
again. So I don't know

759
01:04:57,63 --> 01:05:01,20
most of the demotion yet it will bring
it coming our way I guess we need public

760
01:05:01,21 --> 01:05:07,97
capital like that or it's just so
on chapter I'm asked right now

761
01:05:07,98 --> 01:05:12,51
it's Michigan they are human head. Is there
anyone from the public that would like

762
01:05:12,52 --> 01:05:16,76
to speak on this topic. Mr Mayor make

763
01:05:16,77 --> 01:05:23,64
a motion of your thinking why it's your
common good. I want to congratulate

764
01:05:23,65 --> 01:05:24,18
you it's

765
01:05:24,19 --> 01:05:30,78
a very fine document. It's there it's
nice to know how something gets on the

766
01:05:30,79 --> 01:05:32,57
agenda and that there's

767
01:05:32,58 --> 01:05:38,15
a process for that. To know the process
when you come in to stand here to know the

768
01:05:38,16 --> 01:05:45,07
process is very helpful. I do
have to say when I have to give

769
01:05:45,39 --> 01:05:48,92
I say one thing repeat one thing that I
said before even though you've heard it

770
01:05:48,93 --> 01:05:55,49
before and that is that. The

771
01:05:55,50 --> 01:06:01,29
interface with the public the one thing
that is missing is the follow up you refer

772
01:06:01,30 --> 01:06:08,22
to staff to the city manager. Who
follows up to make sure that

773
01:06:08,88 --> 01:06:13,72
what happens. I have given you

774
01:06:14,67 --> 01:06:18,64
a complaint and as far as I know it's in
limbo I don't want to bring this up but

775
01:06:18,65 --> 01:06:25,49
it's been eight weeks. And there's been no
follow up nobody has contacted me nobody

776
01:06:25,50 --> 01:06:32,20
contacted me when I gave it to you. I saw
it on the agenda that was coming up so

777
01:06:32,21 --> 01:06:37,81
there needs to be follow up I want people
contact you there needs to be some follow

778
01:06:37,82 --> 01:06:43,42
up. To know that. You
know who who do I go to

779
01:06:44,70 --> 01:06:49,22
if I don't hear anything once I
contact you thank you thank you

780
01:06:52,63 --> 01:06:59,62
so it's good advice to have to pay to
pay attention to that thank you. And

781
01:06:59,63 --> 01:07:04,84
he added comments from
the public. Don't do

782
01:07:04,84 --> 01:07:10,12
. Almost we want to get you
we could do it. Mr Mayor make

783
01:07:10,13 --> 01:07:15,11
a motion plus public comment period. We
moved in seconded to close public comment

784
01:07:15,12 --> 01:07:20,77
period on in favor signify everything
I write. I just like it take

785
01:07:20,78 --> 01:07:24,38
a minute Real quick to get to now because
she did sit through most of our workshops

786
01:07:24,39 --> 01:07:28,20
and she had several comments that were
helpful and we incorporated some of what she

787
01:07:28,21 --> 01:07:31,55
said into this policy and
thank you for being there

788
01:07:31,55 --> 01:07:38,47
. When you going to be

789
01:07:38,48 --> 01:07:43,27
brave enough to put this
into policy so me OK. I make

790
01:07:43,28 --> 01:07:47,15
a motion that we adopt resolutions number
two thousand and eleven dash fourteen

791
01:07:47,16 --> 01:07:52,16
read up by title only so I can. It's Beluga
secular do approve resolution number

792
01:07:52,17 --> 01:07:56,06
two thousand and eleven dash for the
resolution of the city council of the city of

793
01:07:56,07 --> 01:07:59,61
fourteen adopting the council
policy and procedures manual

794
01:07:59,61 --> 01:08:05,29
. That takes

795
01:08:05,30 --> 01:08:10,95
a roll call and council member Glazer
Yes ma'am council member along yes also

796
01:08:10,96 --> 01:08:17,37
member Alosi Yes very pro tem
Sandy Yes very strong yes. And I

797
01:08:17,38 --> 01:08:18,34
congratulate all

798
01:08:18,35 --> 01:08:24,87
a few as well. For working as diligently
and cooperatively as we all do

799
01:08:24,87 --> 01:08:31,83
. And we learn from this they
can there's not like etceteras.

800
01:08:31,83 --> 01:08:32,08
To have

801
01:08:32,09 --> 01:08:38,89
a page up and coming up. OK
moving on to the next item of

802
01:08:38,90 --> 01:08:45,74

804
01:08:49,89 --> 01:08:56,07

eleven X. Twenty four an R.T.A.

805
01:08:56,08 --> 01:09:02,90
Two thousand and eleven or one. Doing.
This particular staff report and

806
01:09:02,91 --> 01:09:08,09
what the two resolutions allow the council
to do is to extend this year's physical

807
01:09:08,10 --> 01:09:13,40
your budget into next year and as you know
tomorrow night we take up reviewing the

808
01:09:13,41 --> 01:09:18,78
draft proposed budget for you and we have
two meeting set aside for that Tuesday

809
01:09:18,79 --> 01:09:23,40

get through the entire budget in that

810
01:09:23,41 --> 01:09:29,10
timeframe with that said to based on the
comments and direction we get from staff

811
01:09:29,44 --> 01:09:34,33
we'll need to prepare that budget for
your official adoption of it which at the

812
01:09:34,34 --> 01:09:41,30
earliest won't occur until Tuesday July
fifth so moving into and of course not

813
01:09:41,37 --> 01:09:44,08
it doesn't always go as planned
in there might even be

814
01:09:44,09 --> 01:09:47,07
a reason for extending that to even

815
01:09:47,08 --> 01:09:53,05
a later meeting and in July so what I didn't
want us to do is enter the new fiscal

816
01:09:53,06 --> 01:09:57,57
year as of one July without a
budget in hand and so this was

817
01:09:57,58 --> 01:10:02,18
a procedure that we have done in the past
which is essentially extends the current

818
01:10:02,19 --> 01:10:06,83
budget and its elements since the new
budget isn't radically different from this

819
01:10:06,84 --> 01:10:12,75
one and gives authority for the city manager
to proceed continuing operate the city

820
01:10:12,76 --> 01:10:18,26
government and to operate the Redevelopment
Agency which includes issuing payroll

821
01:10:18,27 --> 01:10:23,70
to our employees and house as well as
continuing our other operations this

822
01:10:23,71 --> 01:10:25,35
particular resolution does have

823
01:10:25,36 --> 01:10:31,10
a time frame it is good in till July
thirty first of two thousand and eleven or

824
01:10:31,11 --> 01:10:34,61
until the two thousand and eleven two
thousand and twelve the school year is

825
01:10:34,62 --> 01:10:39,54
adopted budget is adopted whichever
occurs first the intent here is this is

826
01:10:39,55 --> 01:10:45,96
a very short natured short term resolution
that certainly wouldn't have to go

827
01:10:45,97 --> 01:10:51,28
beyond the month of July unless some
extenuating circumstances come up and again we

828
01:10:51,29 --> 01:10:56,13
would have to extend the budget. But that's
what's in front of you this evening and

829
01:10:56,14 --> 01:11:00,28
staff is recommending that you adopt.
Resolution two thousand and eleven dash

830
01:11:00,29 --> 01:11:02,33
twenty four an R.T.A.

831
01:11:02,55 --> 01:11:09,43
Resolution two thousand
and eleven dash one. Any

832
01:11:09,44 --> 01:11:14,79
discussion or questions to the city manager
I would question regarding payroll if

833
01:11:14,80 --> 01:11:18,29
we approve coal as what it how does that
affect the payroll that would be paid in

834
01:11:18,30 --> 01:11:19,45
July or is there

835
01:11:19,46 --> 01:11:25,11
a payroll do it before July fifth there
isn't will be coming due but it will be for

836
01:11:25,12 --> 01:11:29,91
payroll that occurred in June so it wouldn't
be OK again at this particular time we

837
01:11:29,92 --> 01:11:36,18
have not and do not have an agreement.
To do in effect though so why if we go

838
01:11:36,19 --> 01:11:39,98
forward with those that's going to have
to probably be the word that the finance

839
01:11:39,99 --> 01:11:45,49
department hates and you probably appreciate
is retroactive stuff but that with the

840
01:11:45,50 --> 01:11:52,14
least Laois to honor the
payroll you know I think I

841
01:11:52,15 --> 01:11:57,89
answered your question well as we go beyond
July thirty first will be OK right that

842
01:11:57,90 --> 01:12:02,57
would be there and I certainly hope
we don't get past July fifth right OK

843
01:12:02,57 --> 01:12:09,15
. Tree like there were

844
01:12:09,16 --> 01:12:13,59

would like to address this item.

01:14:53,74 --> 01:15:00,27
of the Council. These are fees were
reviewed with you at our workshop

877
01:15:00,28 --> 01:15:07,16
on May thirty first we went over all
the items and I think we got some

878
01:15:07,17 --> 01:15:13,98
direction thems most of these fees are
have very little change at all from

879
01:15:14,02 --> 01:15:16,34
our courier fees there were

880
01:15:16,35 --> 01:15:21,79
a couple exceptions in park recreation.
Community development building development

881
01:15:22,23 --> 01:15:27,29
development new fees our state exactly the
same water and sewer stain exactly the

882
01:15:27,30 --> 01:15:33,35
same by and large there are no proposed
changes in the fees what this does is move

883
01:15:33,36 --> 01:15:38,77
these fees into being able to be collected
for next year's business with one

884
01:15:38,78 --> 01:15:45,23
exception I did want to point out in the
staff report on page one eighty. There was

885
01:15:45,24 --> 01:15:50,57
some fees that were I believe addressed by
counsel in regards are at that workshop

886
01:15:50,98 --> 01:15:57,81
and. For whatever it is worth we did some
research on it but we didn't extract them

887
01:15:57,82 --> 01:16:00,51
if you look on page one eighty there is

888
01:16:00,52 --> 01:16:06,26
a waiver of sidewalks and parking
lane fees and it does talk about

889
01:16:06,27 --> 01:16:11,25
a fund and says the fees collected under
this section shall be paid into the

890
01:16:11,60 --> 01:16:18,46
collector in artillery or road
improvement fund. That and

891
01:16:18,47 --> 01:16:23,21
I'm I'm afraid to tell you this is been
in our resolutions in the past and really

892
01:16:23,22 --> 01:16:25,84
I've never picked up on
it we don't have such

893
01:16:25,85 --> 01:16:30,57
a fund. Never did. This was

894
01:16:30,58 --> 01:16:36,28
a fee structure that was created some time
back I don't know exactly when as far as

895
01:16:36,29 --> 01:16:42,38
I can tell and from all the review of
this we've never imposed it never had

896
01:16:42,39 --> 01:16:48,55
a purpose for it. We reviewing it yet again
we don't see where it fits in with the

897
01:16:48,56 --> 01:16:53,97
of the purposes of the city in the in the
future and so therefore I'm recommending

898
01:16:53,98 --> 01:17:00,93
that that particular item be deleted from
our fee structure and I'm sorry I didn't

899
01:17:00,94 --> 01:17:07,32
point out earlier and that was I die
identified in staff report but it serves no

900
01:17:07,33 --> 01:17:12,22
purpose that we can see of and in fact it's
never been used or have any evidence of

901
01:17:12,23 --> 01:17:18,98
ever using it. If we do need something
like that in the future I would suggest we

902
01:17:18,99 --> 01:17:24,59
would rewrite this or go about it differently
than how this approach was I don't

903
01:17:24,60 --> 01:17:30,95
know what particular problem or situation
was in front of us at the time that this

904
01:17:30,96 --> 01:17:35,91
was being proposed and and subsequently
adopted but it didn't seem to ever manifest

905
01:17:35,92 --> 01:17:42,08
itself and certainly we don't see any need
for it now that's my staff report and he

906
01:17:42,09 --> 01:17:48,15
questions. Yes yes

907
01:17:49,12 --> 01:17:55,67
yes my last comments on this item
related to the term etc is then fee

908
01:17:55,68 --> 01:18:02,33
schedules and the nets that's the day
to have our fees. Described with great

909
01:18:02,34 --> 01:18:07,69
clarity if we're going to
charge people for. Services.

910
01:18:10,89 --> 01:18:15,10
We have within our fee
schedule charges for except

911
01:18:15,11 --> 01:18:21,47
a row that remain the range from zero
dollars on page one seventy six for

912
01:18:21,48 --> 01:18:27,62
ministerial business licenses. We charge
up to five hundred dollars for an

913
01:18:27,63 --> 01:18:34,58
exception regarding the rodeo ground
rental on page one ninety eight so again

914
01:18:34,58 --> 01:18:41,53
. It's I think it's necessary if we're
going to say we're going to charge

915
01:18:41,54 --> 01:18:46,22
people for something that we say what
it is and not leave it to people's

916
01:18:46,23 --> 01:18:53,14
imagination so there are those fees that
exist on page one fifty for residential

917
01:18:53,15 --> 01:18:58,01
sewer rates. There's an except for there
we charge thirty eight dollars and seventy

918
01:18:58,02 --> 01:19:03,41
five cents for him Page one seventy six
mentioned that one page one eighty eight

919
01:19:03,42 --> 01:19:05,62
temporary power service
we charge him except for

920
01:19:05,63 --> 01:19:09,22
a fee for one nine hundred seventy two one
thousand dollars and seventy two cents

921
01:19:09,66 --> 01:19:10,82
PAGE ONE money for

922
01:19:10,83 --> 01:19:17,59
a mechanical permit for. The charge for
except where there are seventy five dollars

923
01:19:17,93 --> 01:19:19,29
page one ninety eight really

924
01:19:19,30 --> 01:19:23,77
a grounds I mentioned that one page one
ninety nine we charge twenty five dollars

925
01:19:23,81 --> 01:19:28,94
an hour for an accept or there or two
dollars per person you know page one ninety

926
01:19:28,95 --> 01:19:33,13
nine the record up recreational
hall fee we charge and except for

927
01:19:33,14 --> 01:19:39,32
a fee there for twenty dollars to twenty
five dollars per hour so just to make it

928
01:19:39,33 --> 01:19:45,36
clear in our fee schedule. I think
it's necessary to say what we mean

929
01:19:46,73 --> 01:19:53,14
in those seven or eight
into this instances.

930
01:19:54,71 --> 01:19:58,21
They've been him they've been in the fee
schedule for years and I guess nobody's

931
01:19:58,64 --> 01:20:00,48
complained about being
charged for and except

932
01:20:00,49 --> 01:20:08,18
a robot there. You

933
01:20:08,19 --> 01:20:08,31
have

934
01:20:08,32 --> 01:20:14,81
a good point. I mean it damn it actually
when we took exceptions out of our. Our

935
01:20:14,82 --> 01:20:19,70
manual it made it clearer and
sharper and more personalized so

936
01:20:19,70 --> 01:20:26,62
. We could approve this and ask for those

937
01:20:26,63 --> 01:20:33,43
to be removed. We could do it that
way I believe you can do that and

938
01:20:33,96 --> 01:20:39,73
I would I would ask your programs and see
just to make sure I have that I wrote

939
01:20:39,74 --> 01:20:44,51
down all the numbers I got I thank you I
thought I think we could do those edits

940
01:20:44,52 --> 01:20:48,59
and I can certainly have going through the
center discussion on your other manual

941
01:20:48,74 --> 01:20:49,47
it did add

942
01:20:49,48 --> 01:20:54,73
a lot of clarity and I think it's time
overdue and I believe staff based on your

943
01:20:54,74 --> 01:20:58,23
direction would have then the authority
to go through these and make the

944
01:20:58,24 --> 01:21:01,32
appropriate corrections or
in this case deletions that

945
01:21:01,32 --> 01:21:08,08
. And your other questions of staff on the

946
01:21:08,15 --> 01:21:13,36
few structure we can when it
is pretty good back in May

947
01:21:13,36 --> 01:21:19,75
. This is going to be an interesting
one because we do have quite

948
01:21:19,76 --> 01:21:26,63
a few resolution. I'm

949
01:21:26,63 --> 01:21:33,15
. Number two you know open the public
hearing yes we have to go to the

950
01:21:33,47 --> 01:21:39,78
public arena and even the public like
to speak and any of the fee structure.

951
01:21:45,45 --> 01:21:49,76
One of them you know like I want to speak
to be an extension of the water and

952
01:21:49,77 --> 01:21:53,85
sewerage fees and of course you can extend
that change in them but I want to take

953
01:21:53,86 --> 01:22:00,51
this opportunity to respond to the comment
that the one hundred dollars seventy

954
01:22:00,52 --> 01:22:07,03
five dollars is for the whole
process of disconnect. The fee

955
01:22:07,38 --> 01:22:13,45
the fee needs to be based on what
you do that's a fee. If it's not

956
01:22:13,46 --> 01:22:16,11
a penalty if it's a
penalty you already have

957
01:22:16,12 --> 01:22:23,09
a penalty it's ten percent per
month overdue. If you may have

958
01:22:23,10 --> 01:22:28,84
to change your door hanger to say that you
know at this point there's an additional

959
01:22:28,85 --> 01:22:34,20
penalty or official fee and then the dish
will be you see what I'm saying is that

960
01:22:34,51 --> 01:22:40,69
she said that it's for the whole process.
All the process hasn't been when you turn

961
01:22:40,70 --> 01:22:45,53
off the water you know if you don't turn
off the water if they've already paid and

962
01:22:45,54 --> 01:22:51,93
you don't turn off the water they do
not doing that part of the service.

963
01:22:52,74 --> 01:22:56,83
And I just look at the process OK your
your your point I thought you wanted me to

964
01:22:56,84 --> 01:23:03,56
look at you I'm sorry.
So this is one hundred

965
01:23:03,57 --> 01:23:10,04
dollars to turn the water back on but if
the water hasn't turned and turned off

966
01:23:11,35 --> 01:23:16,88
you're charging a fee for something that
hasn't been done which is a penalty not

967
01:23:16,89 --> 01:23:23,81
a fee so just imagine some of
that the process that we have

968
01:23:23,82 --> 01:23:29,23
to go through our staff time and step
up and do up to you had yes yes yes yes

969
01:23:29,62 --> 01:23:35,06
pretty good I think probably the big the
big costs is the door hanger and that

970
01:23:35,22 --> 01:23:40,27
turned the tourney off and turned you
know we're turning out at that but if the

971
01:23:40,28 --> 01:23:43,95
water hasn't been turning off and turning
back on but if the water hasn't been

972
01:23:43,96 --> 01:23:50,54
turned off you haven't
done that OK yeah. Oh

973
01:23:50,96 --> 01:23:57,77
sorry where thing just because you're
going to. But you know right now our fee.

974
01:23:57,77 --> 01:24:04,74
Or reconnect to be is the
highest I looked at. Five

975
01:24:04,75 --> 01:24:11,58
other water services in the county ours
was the highest except for Arcadia it

976
01:24:11,59 --> 01:24:16,58
goes to one hundred thirty two if disconnected
three or four times but other than

977
01:24:16,59 --> 01:24:23,48
that. Seventy eight sixty five and
then we get that's subsequent

978
01:24:23,94 --> 01:24:27,16
our begins at seventy five
and goes to one hundred S.

979
01:24:27,49 --> 01:24:34,38
Just want to let you know thank
you. Staff want to respond to

980
01:24:34,46 --> 01:24:41,09
any of that but I don't know if if it is
but we as well as we pointed out in this

981
01:24:41,09 --> 01:24:41,93
illustration there's

982
01:24:41,95 --> 01:24:46,41
a lot of work before we actually get to
turn the water meter off and that's part of

983
01:24:46,43 --> 01:24:52,20
the cost and the point of this is as was
also made in the previous presentation

984
01:24:52,22 --> 01:24:52,40
there's

985
01:24:52,41 --> 01:24:58,39
a cost to doing that and so the approach
of this it's being paid for by the person

986
01:24:58,80 --> 01:25:05,24
that is requiring that additional notification
service the city and not the rest of

987
01:25:05,24 --> 01:25:10,24
the rate payers this whole thing is about
protecting the cost to all of our rate

988
01:25:10,24 --> 01:25:15,72
payers and so if they if there are customers
that require additional notification

989
01:25:15,73 --> 01:25:21,42
such as mailings and bills and door hangers
to remind them to keep their account

990
01:25:21,44 --> 01:25:28,35
current. We feel staff as we presented
these and other fee resolutions.

991
01:25:28,35 --> 01:25:33,35
We're putting that cost onto the the
customer fires that service not all the rate

992
01:25:33,37 --> 01:25:34,41
payers because

993
01:25:34,42 --> 01:25:41,20
a split out there is bad debt and bad debt
is absorbed by the rate payers. May I

994
01:25:41,21 --> 01:25:41,41
make

995
01:25:41,42 --> 01:25:47,05
a comment for quick. Just wanted to clarify
something that I'm saying that's not

996
01:25:47,06 --> 01:25:50,35
being understood is the whole ten A.M.

997
01:25:50,39 --> 01:25:54,83
And your water is considered shut off if
there are twenty five people that need to

998
01:25:54,84 --> 01:26:01,43
have their water service turned off. It
takes them time to turn everyone's water

999
01:26:01,44 --> 01:26:08,32
off so if the person whose water
shut off right at ten AM comes

1000
01:26:08,33 --> 01:26:09,48
in and has to pay

1001
01:26:09,49 --> 01:26:15,09
a reconnection fee Why shouldn't the
person whose water is scheduled to also be

1002
01:26:15,10 --> 01:26:19,44
turned off that day but they didn't get
to it until noon not have to pay that

1003
01:26:19,45 --> 01:26:24,01
because they didn't get to their house by
noon so that's the reason why there is an

1004
01:26:24,02 --> 01:26:29,11
absolute deadline for that reconnection
fee and then once that once their bill is

1005
01:26:29,12 --> 01:26:35,67
paid again to the finance department is on
the radio letting them know this water's

1006
01:26:35,68 --> 01:26:41,24
been paid please turn that water back on
and sometimes the payment is happening

1007
01:26:41,25 --> 01:26:45,45
simultaneously with their water being
turned off so they may come and saying I'm

1008
01:26:45,46 --> 01:26:48,69
here to pay my bill it hasn't been shut
off yet but while they're in there their

1009
01:26:48,70 --> 01:26:52,80
water could be shut off so that's
the reason for that ten A.M.

1010
01:26:52,81 --> 01:26:56,50
Deadline you can't give the person
whose water hasn't shut off until noon

1011
01:26:56,68 --> 01:27:00,71
a free ride just because their house is
further down the road than the one who shot

1012
01:27:00,72 --> 01:27:01,63
off at ten A.M.

1013
01:27:02,15 --> 01:27:06,70
Everyone is treated the same and that's why
everything that sent them says ten A.M.

1014
01:27:07,31 --> 01:27:11,35
Now it's to be fair to everyone thank you
I just wanted to clear that up I did that

1015
01:27:11,36 --> 01:27:11,49
for

1016
01:27:11,50 --> 01:27:15,96
a long time and that's always been our
policy so I wanted to clear it up thank you

1017
01:27:15,96 --> 01:27:18,71
. Mr Mayor make

1018
01:27:18,73 --> 01:27:24,23
a motion plus public comment period so I
can maybe instead to declare the comment

1019
01:27:24,24 --> 01:27:31,14
period all in favor signify
by saying I. Vote. I just had

1020
01:27:31,74 --> 01:27:36,78
my question I had to step out but was there
any discussion about the laying payment

1021
01:27:36,79 --> 01:27:37,62
on a with

1022
01:27:37,63 --> 01:27:44,36
a contractor's development fees. To that
was brought up the last time but you know

1023
01:27:44,37 --> 01:27:48,47
we if you recall at the workshop
we talked about it and it was

1024
01:27:48,48 --> 01:27:53,40
a question of whether there was still
some interest in doing that. We have not

1025
01:27:53,41 --> 01:27:57,96
received any communication from anyone issue
either by letter by phone call that I

1026
01:27:57,97 --> 01:28:03,92
knew of if that's something the council
would like to do again. We can bring it to

1027
01:28:03,93 --> 01:28:09,66
you at another meeting but right now it
without any other action the action from

1028
01:28:09,67 --> 01:28:14,62
last year will and I believe on June
thirtieth for anyone that's in this in the

1029
01:28:14,63 --> 01:28:20,25
cycle now and I think we don't we only have
one that will continue on until the end

1030
01:28:20,26 --> 01:28:26,64
of the the house is occupied or actually
so it's stays in effect while it's under

1031
01:28:26,65 --> 01:28:31,06
construction no matter what it would mean
that there are no new ones unless the

1032
01:28:31,07 --> 01:28:35,95
council so directs us to go ahead and bring
you bring it back to you but after our

1033
01:28:35,96 --> 01:28:42,65
workshop meeting I did not again hear any
interest to do that I thought the idea

1034
01:28:42,66 --> 01:28:47,42
had some merit and I know that there was
some discussion about that and I thought

1035
01:28:47,43 --> 01:28:50,72
that we were going to have additional
discussion or maybe just include

1036
01:28:50,73 --> 01:28:57,70
a back again for our purposes
for the city. It is. Virtually

1037
01:28:57,71 --> 01:29:03,52
no risk because there are liens placed on
the property that insured payment at some

1038
01:29:03,53 --> 01:29:10,42
point in the future so. If
there's if there's interest

1039
01:29:10,43 --> 01:29:15,46
from other folks on and there was one public
speaker that expressed an interest in

1040
01:29:15,47 --> 01:29:20,01
the meeting when we talked about it and
I believe we asked that if there were

1041
01:29:20,05 --> 01:29:24,63
others out there because the numbers don't
look good one out of. So many and if

1042
01:29:24,64 --> 01:29:30,78
there were others out there that might
want to avail themselves of the. Procedure

1043
01:29:30,79 --> 01:29:37,27
to come forward and talk to us and apparently
though I do it expires I don't like

1044
01:29:37,27 --> 01:29:44,01
. I don't like delayed obligations
of payment it occurred with

1045
01:29:44,40 --> 01:29:48,25
seventeen thousand dollars lost from the
person division that we never collected on

1046
01:29:48,26 --> 01:29:55,06
because of slipping through the loopholes
in city hall. Sidewalk repayment

1047
01:29:55,07 --> 01:30:01,09
grants or not granting But but
loans that were sort of lost

1048
01:30:02,06 --> 01:30:08,31
in the shuffle and disk was experimental
and it showed that there was not enough

1049
01:30:08,35 --> 01:30:12,80
overwhelming reception by the building
community you didn't stimulate

1050
01:30:13,13 --> 01:30:19,10
a lot of houses being built. On
speculation so I'm definitely in favor of

1051
01:30:19,11 --> 01:30:25,38
eliminating it and not perpetuating it.
Well we don't we don't have to eliminate it

1052
01:30:25,42 --> 01:30:29,40
automatically so we can bring it back again
but right disc this current fiscal year

1053
01:30:29,41 --> 01:30:33,25
it's off the grid is not
going to be continued

1054
01:30:33,25 --> 01:30:38,10
. Mr Mayor you need

1055
01:30:38,11 --> 01:30:44,43

out the race. I would like to make

1056

a member Lucy Yes there
protests RAMSEY Yes. Yes

1141
01:37:13,50 --> 01:37:19,10
. That was it got through that one

1142
01:37:19,10 --> 01:37:25,57
. I tried to talk him into letting us do
it all at once but they wouldn't let me.

1143
01:37:25,57 --> 01:37:31,78
Between over there yet but. Are you sure
if you want to just it depends you know

1144
01:37:31,79 --> 01:37:38,50
you can see. It. Moving line item

1145
01:37:38,50 --> 01:37:45,08
. Designated cities voting delegate at
the annual League of Cities meeting.

1146
01:37:47,25 --> 01:37:51,28
Each year the league of California cities
request that each council each city

1147
01:37:51,50 --> 01:37:52,05
doesn't need

1148
01:37:52,06 --> 01:37:57,03
a voting delegate or an alternative
alternate to vote at the league California

1149
01:37:57,04 --> 01:38:02,76
cities policies are at the annual meeting
and you mean this year for the legalities

1150
01:38:02,77 --> 01:38:08,45
of this is in San Francisco and I know
Council members was really has stated he was

1151
01:38:08,46 --> 01:38:14,65
interested in attending that conference.
In the past this action and get really

1152
01:38:14,66 --> 01:38:19,23
back up this action has to be taken by
the city council directly asked me by

1153
01:38:19,24 --> 01:38:26,02
a vote because we register that and any
voting delegates are there alternatives

1154
01:38:26,93 --> 01:38:28,93
are noted and or receive

1155
01:38:28,94 --> 01:38:35,50
a special voting delegation. I
guess voting paddle and are so

1156
01:38:36,47 --> 01:38:40,23
segregated from the rest of the audience
when the league goes into the actual

1157
01:38:40,24 --> 01:38:46,93
voting on the various policies adoption
Some years it's very perfunctory. Certainly

1158
01:38:46,94 --> 01:38:52,83
have attended some meetings where this whole
voting thing has extended for hours on

1159
01:38:52,84 --> 01:38:59,51
controversial issues. It's amazing how
dynamic the state is and in its political

1160
01:38:59,52 --> 01:39:03,73
stance and it's certainly demonstrated
on how different cities act on various

1161
01:39:03,74 --> 01:39:08,71
issues including internal policy of the
league so any way the items in front of you

1162
01:39:08,72 --> 01:39:15,66
for your action. It's really up to you this
year I mean last year I did not attend

1163
01:39:15,67 --> 01:39:20,04
the League conference as we have in the
past and I believe last year only council

1164
01:39:20,05 --> 01:39:25,00
member was or attended we did not help
last year we waved to did not go to San

1165
01:39:25,01 --> 01:39:26,79
Diego because it was not
cost effective and in

1166
01:39:26,80 --> 01:39:30,41
a proper fest the spent fuel into that I'm
remembering the past you know this is

1167
01:39:30,42 --> 01:39:35,78
not so the world will not come to an end
if we don't have anyone there to vote on

1168
01:39:35,79 --> 01:39:40,16
it I don't know what's on the even being
proposed for voting by the league this

1169
01:39:40,17 --> 01:39:44,92
year but our focus has been predominately
on still trying to resolve state issues

1170
01:39:44,96 --> 01:39:49,97
in their problem with their own budget so
that's my staff report it's your choice

1171
01:39:50,06 --> 01:39:56,44
so you want to proceed with this. Just so
everyone knows Dean has been our voting

1172
01:39:56,45 --> 01:40:02,29
delegate or two or three how many.

1173
01:40:03,95 --> 01:40:09,15
Who are anyway so we didn't even know there
were times it was three or four of us

1174
01:40:09,15 --> 01:40:13,96
at the meeting was the one that. Stayed

1175
01:40:13,97 --> 01:40:17,46
a little longer because that part of the
meeting of that conference goes later in

1176
01:40:17,47 --> 01:40:24,36
the day the most controversial was in
San Diego about five years ago when

1177
01:40:24,36 --> 01:40:31,25
. All of us except for Bill
Bertie could not we attended and

1178
01:40:31,26 --> 01:40:36,10
he stayed home and I was the voting
delegate in their three caucuses they were

1179
01:40:36,11 --> 01:40:42,19
requesting they have voting powers which
turned out to be so controversial that it

1180
01:40:42,20 --> 01:40:47,43
was amazing and everybody left saying bye
you see you later. And the nice part

1181
01:40:47,44 --> 01:40:52,67
about that was is that we had to leave
because this Saturday was the bison it was

1182
01:40:52,68 --> 01:40:54,76
right in Kenya that's the city and we had

1183
01:40:54,77 --> 01:41:00,42
a city that's right and we had to cook hot
dogs and hamburgers for the city's. Rest

1184
01:41:00,43 --> 01:41:04,62
of the council had to get back here the not
the decision to meeting and down there

1185
01:41:04,93 --> 01:41:06,49
I got to carry on a conversation with

1186
01:41:06,50 --> 01:41:11,82
a Nigerian cab driver to the airport it
was good anyway I think it's important if

1187
01:41:11,83 --> 01:41:15,94
anybody really wants to go to this because
this this you got a little taste of

1188
01:41:15,95 --> 01:41:20,43
a League of Cities when we went down to
the training earlier this year this one

1189
01:41:20,92 --> 01:41:25,37
will be three and it's three days but there
is classes on numerous things you can

1190
01:41:25,38 --> 01:41:32,23
go to your date can be fool or. Beginning
to end it's really neat to get in

1191
01:41:32,24 --> 01:41:35,45
there and learn the different aspects in
you you know more than one goes you can

1192
01:41:35,46 --> 01:41:40,38
cover more areas with the last one we all
set this same room heard the same thing

1193
01:41:40,82 --> 01:41:45,37
this is divided up into different classes
so anybody wants to go if we can figure

1194
01:41:45,38 --> 01:41:45,49
out

1195
01:41:45,50 --> 01:41:51,02
a way to squeeze it out of the budget.
People should go I've been to two or three

1196
01:41:51,03 --> 01:41:55,67
of them in navy and they're well they're
worth it or are they are very interested

1197
01:41:55,68 --> 01:42:00,06
in the news going to their very own
informational field it does over I think

1198
01:42:00,07 --> 01:42:04,99
a fantastic job opening and then your
conference on for all their members which is

1199
01:42:05,00 --> 01:42:09,13
all the cities in California it's are SEPTA
what is September the next fiscal year

1200
01:42:09,92 --> 01:42:13,38
and next fiscal year next fiscal year
you'll be talking about that budget to my

1201
01:42:13,39 --> 01:42:18,74
just from our Ok it's it's September
Wednesday September twenty first you have to

1202
01:42:18,75 --> 01:42:23,55
show up the twenty second Thursday and
the voting is done on the twenty third

1203
01:42:23,56 --> 01:42:28,45
Friday and then you come home so it's
Wednesday the twenty first twenty second and

1204
01:42:28,46 --> 01:42:32,93
then Friday is the voting and then you
return it's in San Francisco I just missed

1205
01:42:32,94 --> 01:42:38,21
going he said. And they do cover
a lot and you will there's also

1206
01:42:38,22 --> 01:42:42,90
a trade show in the middle of all of it
and you can go into the the main hall and

1207
01:42:42,91 --> 01:42:47,83
see all of the vendors that sell the
cities and see all the new products and.

1208
01:42:47,83 --> 01:42:52,15
Really interestingly looking for street
lights down you could go see all the

1209
01:42:52,16 --> 01:42:56,94
different vendors to understand what they
had and I was there that's where Dean

1210
01:42:56,95 --> 01:43:03,27
found out about. The personal permeable
concrete rice and Humboldt County they have

1211
01:43:03,27 --> 01:43:08,00
. But you know it's things like that you
know stuff when you get out and get around

1212
01:43:08,02 --> 01:43:09,15
these people you can learn

1213
01:43:09,15 --> 01:43:13,97
a lot something that I think about. But
at this time what we're going to do is we

1214
01:43:13,99 --> 01:43:16,72
have to pick at we can all go do it
if we can come up with a money or

1215
01:43:16,72 --> 01:43:18,29
a couple of us but we do need to pick

1216
01:43:18,29 --> 01:43:23,95
a person to stick around on Saturday to
represent the city with. A voting delegate

1217
01:43:23,99 --> 01:43:29,71
and an alternate we could do
that yes. Well I just am OK

1218
01:43:29,71 --> 01:43:32,64
. We're not making

1219
01:43:32,65 --> 01:43:37,93
a decision yet. You know why should
open public comment and one reason I'm

1220
01:43:37,94 --> 01:43:40,33
a little always have a problem
with this is because for

1221
01:43:40,34 --> 01:43:46,27
a long time we open public comment before
the Council talked and we used to be

1222
01:43:46,28 --> 01:43:48,26
a lot of flak for talking

1223
01:43:48,27 --> 01:43:51,79
a lot afterwards so I've been trying to
get the council to get the talking out of

1224
01:43:51,80 --> 01:43:55,33
the ways with the public can chime in on
what we've talked about instead of the

1225
01:43:55,34 --> 01:43:59,19
other way around but by doing that it put
me right up against the wire so I keep

1226
01:43:59,32 --> 01:44:05,33
getting the opening comments. For that so
I'd like open public comment right now if

1227
01:44:05,34 --> 01:44:11,81
anyone like to speak on this.
To close public on the second

1228
01:44:11,81 --> 01:44:18,67
. Or not second that might be conflict
of interest. You can see at. The movies

1229
01:44:18,68 --> 01:44:23,09
they're going to close but we comment all
in favor saying the privacy and I. O's

1230
01:44:24,71 --> 01:44:27,80
closed. The B.R.

1231
01:44:27,81 --> 01:44:34,66
Alternate actually going on
just to see you know the

1232
01:44:34,92 --> 01:44:38,99
process works and everything I would like
to add something to but I think that's

1233
01:44:39,03 --> 01:44:43,93
right after my daughter's wedding I think
I'm not going to be. Just going to have

1234
01:44:43,94 --> 01:44:47,73
to do some work at my real job but I didn't
it doesn't bother me to have another

1235
01:44:47,74 --> 01:44:48,31
person serve as

1236
01:44:48,32 --> 01:44:54,68
a delegate you know I rather share it let
everybody experience it. But last year

1237
01:44:54,68 --> 01:44:59,53
. Dennis got up and said You
know I think we should have

1238
01:44:59,54 --> 01:45:03,36
a representative but I said that the cost
factor was so far down there and they

1239
01:45:03,37 --> 01:45:07,07
really didn't vote I think it was important
and you really don't know what's going

1240
01:45:07,08 --> 01:45:09,43
to be brought up at the last minute as

1241
01:45:09,44 --> 01:45:13,48
a proposal so there might be some sneaky
little thing that might affect us might

1242
01:45:13,49 --> 01:45:19,93
not affect us. But the distance is not that
bad it's not that controversial. And I

1243
01:45:19,94 --> 01:45:26,57
think it would actually embrace.
A couple members going. It is

1244
01:45:26,58 --> 01:45:31,94
a lot of fun and I said the classes sometimes
the classes are redundant and other

1245
01:45:31,95 --> 01:45:36,12
times the classes are interesting because
you know who the council person might be

1246
01:45:36,13 --> 01:45:42,28
or city manager teaching it and doing
that hour's discussion and that's also

1247
01:45:42,29 --> 01:45:47,41
a chance to. Co-partner with people you've
met in the past find out what they've

1248
01:45:47,42 --> 01:45:52,03
been doing because we've actually had
been helped by finding out new ideas that

1249
01:45:52,04 --> 01:45:55,35
we've never thought about and somebody has
already experienced that done it walked

1250
01:45:55,48 --> 01:46:01,83
in and we get to learn from their expertise
and we get to apply it so. However we

1251
01:46:01,84 --> 01:46:03,14
network it's

1252
01:46:03,15 --> 01:46:10,05
a win win win and so. If you want to
have two of us go I'd definitely like to

1253
01:46:10,06 --> 01:46:10,38
be

1254
01:46:10,92 --> 01:46:15,59
a voting delegate or if Mike wants to be
they want to stays and I can jump ship be

1255
01:46:15,60 --> 01:46:21,51
able faster that's even better. No I
just assume him have you be the voting

1256
01:46:21,52 --> 01:46:26,36
delegate I would just like to see how that
process works and you said you have not

1257
01:46:26,82 --> 01:46:33,36
been. You want to go you're welcome
to go so therefore I made the motion.

1258
01:46:33,83 --> 01:46:34,91
To designate

1259
01:46:35,80 --> 01:46:41,39
a council member being the laws are those
who are voting delegate delegate and Mike

1260
01:46:41,47 --> 01:46:46,13
council member My closely is our first
alternate and council members and the mayor

1261
01:46:46,14 --> 01:46:51,48
pro tem is our second alternate for the
annual league of California cities meeting

1262
01:46:51,48 --> 01:46:57,41
. Also I couldn't. In any discussion and

1263
01:46:57,41 --> 01:47:04,06
. It's been moved and seconded to nominate
being lodgers are voting delegate

1264
01:47:04,31 --> 01:47:10,13
and that can then the in Mike.
Willesee as our alternate and it's

1265
01:47:10,14 --> 01:47:16,89
a voice vote so I'm in favor
signify by saying I. O's. Asked

1266
01:47:17,21 --> 01:47:21,12
talk to Linda. But

1267
01:47:21,12 --> 01:47:27,28
. Travels are

1268
01:47:27,28 --> 01:47:34,24
. A flyer on land so yes yes. There
are some that we'll have to get you

1269
01:47:34,25 --> 01:47:39,77
some it had they've had some good updates
where the lodging is or you think they're

1270
01:47:39,78 --> 01:47:45,90
even started. After octopi very crazy

1271
01:47:46,88 --> 01:47:51,21
but you only do. Maybe a trailer
on Mission Street might be

1272
01:47:51,22 --> 01:47:58,05
a better. Yeah. Let's let's move
on before we get in trouble here.

1273
01:47:58,05 --> 01:48:04,89
Did you do the next is the city
managers report the way no thank you

1274
01:48:04,89 --> 01:48:10,83
. You have my written report of the upcoming
particular council meetings that we

1275
01:48:10,83 --> 01:48:11,83
have and

1276
01:48:11,83 --> 01:48:18,47
a reminder tomorrow. And maybe even
Wednesday depending on how much we get done

1277
01:48:18,48 --> 01:48:22,09
tomorrow is our budget workshop
with the council it won't be

1278
01:48:22,10 --> 01:48:26,13

at four P.M.

1280
01:48:27,20 --> 01:48:33,93
. And going into all you say you're

1281
01:48:33,94 --> 01:48:39,22
Wednesday if necessary then the next
council me will be on Tuesday next regular

1282
01:48:39,23 --> 01:48:44,31

01:48:49,09 --> 01:48:55,73

to take up on the workshop issue.

1287
01:49:07,07 --> 01:49:11,92
Other than that oh excuse me I've got to
remember turning the page we have been

1288
01:49:11,96 --> 01:49:17,95
moving these proposed water and sewer rates
for fiscal year two thousand and eleven

1289
01:49:17,96 --> 01:49:23,41
two thousand and twelve all the way through
sixteen workshop for you to Monday July

1290
01:49:23,42 --> 01:49:28,74
twenty fifth so it's always often more
hope to get you that information well in

1291
01:49:28,75 --> 01:49:29,61
advance so you have

1292
01:49:29,62 --> 01:49:34,71
a couple weeks to study it and again now
what waste is that what we're going what

1293
01:49:34,72 --> 01:49:40,10
staff is going to present to you as several
different alternative ways to look at

1294
01:49:40,66 --> 01:49:47,30
water sewer rates for the next five years.
Other than I have no other issues or

1295
01:49:47,31 --> 01:49:52,63
items to bring forward to you continue to
amaze me again this year that the states

1296
01:49:52,64 --> 01:49:56,99
in Bolivia to adopt a budget or even get

1297
01:49:57,00 --> 01:50:01,77
a budget propose that makes sense but other
than that I have no other comments if

1298
01:50:01,78 --> 01:50:07,35
you have some questions I may be can
answer. Any questions or doing.

1299
01:50:09,37 --> 01:50:16,17
You know one two city council report and
comment as to why. Thank you Mr Mayor

1300
01:50:16,17 --> 01:50:22,89
. I attended the Environmental
Quality committee meeting

1301
01:50:22,93 --> 01:50:29,09
on the seventeenth both the sixteenth and
the seventeenth prior to the meeting time

1302
01:50:29,65 --> 01:50:33,89
the league California cities want to
actually have those committees get together

1303
01:50:33,90 --> 01:50:39,63
for an informational. Statement by Chris

1304
01:50:40,40 --> 01:50:45,14
McKenzie the executive director for
California Cities like a California cities is

1305
01:50:45,15 --> 01:50:51,50
a joint powers authority we belong to and
it is very very beneficial for us they

1306
01:50:51,51 --> 01:50:51,74
are

1307
01:50:51,75 --> 01:50:55,62
a partner for representation in the state
capitol they go and talk to the politicians

1308
01:50:55,63 --> 01:51:02,28
directly we have our say based on what
are our votes our. As all of us know

1309
01:51:03,06 --> 01:51:09,24
last November two thousand and ten we
voted past Prop twenty two which was to

1310
01:51:09,25 --> 01:51:15,32
prevent the legislators from taking
from public safety redevelopment and

1311
01:51:15,33 --> 01:51:22,32
transportation. Transportation and and
public safety been off the grid although

1312
01:51:22,33 --> 01:51:26,23
there are some things for public safety
that has been usurped in our our budget

1313
01:51:26,24 --> 01:51:30,97
will be talking about is going to
actually reflect that but redevelopment.

1314
01:51:31,01 --> 01:51:36,49
Constitutional amendment letter of the
law don't mess with the Constitution and

1315
01:51:36,50 --> 01:51:42,01
unfortunately two of our representatives
Assemblyman just Breaux and Senator Evans

1316
01:51:42,02 --> 01:51:48,45
voted yes on abolishing redevelopment so
all you Democrats out there that think

1317
01:51:48,46 --> 01:51:53,78
these people walk on water I got news for
you they took money away from you that

1318
01:51:53,83 --> 01:51:59,55
actually provides the funding for mandated
housing units that we are forced down

1319
01:51:59,56 --> 01:52:06,36
our throats to provide for low income.
Housing and I'm curious to find out whether

1320
01:52:06,88 --> 01:52:12,56
if if. When I keep on discussing later if
it does happen whether we get to renege

1321
01:52:12,57 --> 01:52:16,93
on any mandates by the state legislature
that those numbers are flushed down the

1322
01:52:16,94 --> 01:52:23,74
toilet we can we start off with zero. But
anyway Chris MacKenzie pointed out that

1323
01:52:23,74 --> 01:52:29,12
. We built twenty six and twenty seven as
well as Senate bill fourteen and fifteen

1324
01:52:29,59 --> 01:52:35,59
for funding of redevelopment.
That should have been

1325
01:52:36,58 --> 01:52:40,27
never voted on and allowed
to pass they were

1326
01:52:40,87 --> 01:52:46,14
a yes vote strictly straight Democrat
Party saying yes in the Republican stood

1327
01:52:46,15 --> 01:52:51,61
their ground said no but the numbers were
against them and they lost. These two

1328
01:52:51,62 --> 01:52:53,54
bills just the A.B.

1329
01:52:53,55 --> 01:52:59,32
And that in the Senate's bills are something
that because the budget was vetoed by

1330
01:52:59,33 --> 01:53:06,05
the governor that they are pretty much
standing alone. Constitutionally legally

1331
01:53:06,06 --> 01:53:06,93
they cannot as

1332
01:53:06,94 --> 01:53:13,13
a legislature. Introduce these bills or
put them on trail or bills that they have

1333
01:53:13,14 --> 01:53:18,42
to be reintroduced once the budget is
produced as approved by the governor and

1334
01:53:18,43 --> 01:53:22,17
signed so that might happen in the next
two weeks might happen in the next six

1335
01:53:22,18 --> 01:53:27,69
weeks but whenever the governor signs the
final budget then the redevelopment bills

1336
01:53:27,69 --> 01:53:34,14
. Didn't I redevelopment will be
presented and that is when the League of

1337
01:53:34,15 --> 01:53:37,70
California is currently to
California cities plans to file

1338
01:53:37,74 --> 01:53:43,28
a lawsuit against the state of California
in the Supreme Court of California and

1339
01:53:43,29 --> 01:53:48,42
contested and I've been saying after
the very get go that that they should

1340
01:53:48,43 --> 01:53:50,96
aggressively have done this with
rather trying trying to find

1341
01:53:50,97 --> 01:53:55,25
a middle ground and make concessions about
paying the school property taxes and so

1342
01:53:55,26 --> 01:54:00,20
forth which is totally wrong so I'm
looking forward to the next month what it

1343
01:54:00,21 --> 01:54:05,78
provides and I'm looking forward to see
what kind of squirming and squealing bro

1344
01:54:05,79 --> 01:54:10,81
and Evans will be doing because they did
this wrong and everybody this elected

1345
01:54:10,82 --> 01:54:15,66
official needs to tell them
that. I do want to go back

1346
01:54:15,90 --> 01:54:22,47
a little bit to what I said in public
statement about Jerry Grier I mean. A year

1347
01:54:22,48 --> 01:54:28,90
ago when he was elected as first vice
commander he really didn't see the magnitude

1348
01:54:28,91 --> 01:54:33,19
of what disposition
represents I saw it. Being

1349
01:54:33,20 --> 01:54:37,46
a political figure I don't I still don't
feel myself as being any different than

1350
01:54:37,47 --> 01:54:43,04
anybody else walking on the streets outside.
But looking at your Agree or he's he's

1351
01:54:43,05 --> 01:54:50,00
one individual. That was potentially
going to be come commander.

1352
01:54:50,00 --> 01:54:55,50
Last June twelfth on Sunday in Concord
there was that potential chance that

1353
01:54:55,51 --> 01:54:59,56
somebody would run against him during their
years period of time he flew all over

1354
01:54:59,57 --> 01:55:04,21
the United States went to training
back East was representing the league

1355
01:55:04,48 --> 01:55:10,97
representing the AMVETS and he showed to
those officials in M.P.'s that he could do

1356
01:55:10,98 --> 01:55:15,92
the job he was potentially do that job.
In Concord there were one hundred thirty

1357
01:55:15,93 --> 01:55:22,59
delegates not one person ran against
him he was uncontested and I just the

1358
01:55:22,60 --> 01:55:27,62
magnitude of that position is just awesome
there's only one president at United

1359
01:55:27,63 --> 01:55:33,24
States there's only one governor in
California and those one jury Greer is

1360
01:55:33,25 --> 01:55:37,81
commander of ambit is just totally awesome
and I keep on telling him that he's so

1361
01:55:37,82 --> 01:55:43,11
humble that is just incredible but I'm
just delighted to have somebody living in

1362
01:55:43,12 --> 01:55:49,15
Fortuna that has that that prestigious
name and what it means so

1363
01:55:50,12 --> 01:55:54,01
I'm not trying to grind it in the ground
but it's awesome that he is he is one of

1364
01:55:54,02 --> 01:56:00,96
our citizens. Sue can reiterate on

1365
01:56:00,97 --> 01:56:07,11
this in July third the fireworks
leave that lifeforce on Monday

1366
01:56:08,09 --> 01:56:08,49
there will be

1367
01:56:08,50 --> 01:56:13,67
a parade in Ferndale fortress like parade
as is always everybody is invited to that

1368
01:56:14,60 --> 01:56:15,42
they're also be

1369
01:56:15,47 --> 01:56:20,23
a fireworks display at the whole county
fairgrounds sponsored by casino thank you

1370
01:56:20,24 --> 01:56:26,23
very much for doing that wonderful public
gesture and say thank you to them when

1371
01:56:26,24 --> 01:56:32,83
you go up to this casino because they
don't get enough thank yous. Some of the

1372
01:56:32,84 --> 01:56:38,97
comments that were made at the the the
meeting there was one stand we built was

1373
01:56:38,98 --> 01:56:44,42
trying to be promoted that was actually
for private garbage companies that they

1374
01:56:44,43 --> 01:56:48,59
would not be allowed to prevent other
communities from coming in and bringing in

1375
01:56:48,60 --> 01:56:54,81
their waste their solid waste. They were
worried that that if we were to want to

1376
01:56:54,82 --> 01:56:59,69
take our solid waste and go to Anderson
that they can say no we're not going to

1377
01:56:59,70 --> 01:57:04,01
take it and if you had enough of those
private enterprises doing that not public

1378
01:57:04,02 --> 01:57:07,28
because publics not affected
by this but if you had

1379
01:57:07,29 --> 01:57:12,04
a private private garbage company the said
no before long you might be wandering

1380
01:57:12,05 --> 01:57:15,42
from Fortune always down to San Diego
if you were lucky to find someplace to

1381
01:57:15,43 --> 01:57:21,07
receive it so it was considered
controversial. But if you're

1382
01:57:21,08 --> 01:57:23,76
a private enterprise you definitely don't
want to make money you're not going to

1383
01:57:23,77 --> 01:57:29,64
turn away somebody that wants to make money
off of your refuse but anyway that's

1384
01:57:29,70 --> 01:57:36,53
going through the. Discussion and
there was one. We also discussed

1385
01:57:37,43 --> 01:57:42,14
about marijuana cultivation and how that
would have an effect on your community and

1386
01:57:43,01 --> 01:57:49,47
Mark Wheatley from Archita provided his
input to that let them know how that

1387
01:57:49,70 --> 01:57:52,98
affected them and how what their jurisdictions
in each one of the jurisdictions the

1388
01:57:52,99 --> 01:57:56,93
cities provided their input about how
they determine it was a code issue or

1389
01:57:56,94 --> 01:58:00,61
a zoning issue or so forth
so anyway Mr Mayor it was

1390
01:58:00,62 --> 01:58:06,12
a good trip hot place to be but it was well
worth it getting information from Chris

1391
01:58:06,13 --> 01:58:12,91
McKenzie thank you. I haven't

1392
01:58:12,92 --> 01:58:18,40
attended any of my. Council meetings
but I have been attending the Fortuna

1393
01:58:18,41 --> 01:58:22,07
fireworks festival meetings
and that's coming on well

1394
01:58:22,15 --> 01:58:26,65
a letter was sent out via e-mail to several
businesses to see if they wanted to

1395
01:58:26,66 --> 01:58:32,11
contribute to the program and how to do
that if they so desired. One thing that was

1396
01:58:32,12 --> 01:58:33,43
omitted from the letter was

1397
01:58:33,47 --> 01:58:38,46
a deadline as to getting your logo on the
poster so we are going to need donations

1398
01:58:38,47 --> 01:58:42,98
tomorrow I'll have time to get posters
around town in time for them to mean

1399
01:58:42,99 --> 01:58:46,38
anything to notify the public that
there is an event on July third.

1400
01:58:50,48 --> 01:58:56,54
The donations will affect how many donations
we get will affect how much we're

1401
01:58:56,55 --> 01:59:00,68
going to charge this year for the the
response for the kids last year they were

1402
01:59:00,69 --> 01:59:07,50
free the committee. Decided that the event
needs to pay for itself between what we

1403
01:59:07,51 --> 01:59:13,04
can raise at the event and. Donations by
businesses and then the generous donation

1404
01:59:13,05 --> 01:59:18,13
by Hopsin humble we felt we needed to
charge this year so that we can make it pay

1405
01:59:18,14 --> 01:59:24,47
for itself and. The fire works
so. We increased our from

1406
01:59:25,10 --> 01:59:28,28
five thousand dollars so to a seven
thousand dollars show which is quite

1407
01:59:28,29 --> 01:59:32,83
a bit it's almost double the fireworks so
that was the thought behind it so there

1408
01:59:32,84 --> 01:59:36,98
will be a charge this year for the
wrist bands we're thinking two dollars

1409
01:59:36,99 --> 01:59:41,75
a kid but that's going to depend on how
many. Donations we get from the community

1410
01:59:42,15 --> 01:59:43,84
so if you haven't got

1411
01:59:43,85 --> 01:59:50,29
a letter you can call me or you can see and
he's also on the committee and will get

1412
01:59:50,30 --> 01:59:53,07
you a letter or you can
just send money to P.O.

1413
01:59:53,08 --> 01:59:59,61
Box for ninety one for tonight thanks.
Yeah so I saw that letter and there was

1414
01:59:59,62 --> 02:00:06,42
a list of donors attached to it were those
last year's donors were those the donors

1415
02:00:06,43 --> 02:00:10,20
that have already contribute
this year those were just

1416
02:00:10,21 --> 02:00:13,84
a list of people that got
e-mailed a letter but it had

1417
02:00:13,85 --> 02:00:20,60
a dollar figure with. Each of
the businesses and the civic

1418
02:00:20,61 --> 02:00:25,67
organizations. But it really didn't explain
it I was thinking well maybe that's

1419
02:00:25,68 --> 02:00:29,99
those are the folks that
contributed last year. Or we have

1420
02:00:30,00 --> 02:00:36,76
a lot of people that are east it up and
provided donations this year. But anyway

1421
02:00:36,76 --> 02:00:41,24
. There wasn't anything attached unless
you were one of the ones I got the letter

1422
02:00:41,25 --> 02:00:48,06
that I sent wrong in the first
place. I'm. Broken record I

1423
02:00:48,07 --> 02:00:51,36
said something out that was from two thousand
and ten and there had to rescind and

1424
02:00:51,37 --> 02:00:58,03
say ignore the previous.
That might be what you got.

1425
02:00:58,28 --> 02:01:02,84
So far we've only received two donations
for this year but like I said the letters

1426
02:01:02,85 --> 02:01:04,58
just went out and I
would check the box for

1427
02:01:04,59 --> 02:01:11,91
a couple days. If

1428
02:01:11,92 --> 02:01:15,29
you missed them. The latest F.

1429
02:01:15,30 --> 02:01:18,34
Big meeting was on June the first
and although I didn't attend I had

1430
02:01:18,35 --> 02:01:23,37
a court hearing that I had to attend I
have since than talked to Dan and crew the

1431
02:01:23,38 --> 02:01:29,10
director and received some information
from her with regard to that meeting. Over

1432
02:01:29,11 --> 02:01:31,25
the last several months F.B.I.

1433
02:01:31,26 --> 02:01:34,64
Has been looking or it or of
the board has been discussing

1434
02:01:35,58 --> 02:01:42,43
a search for larger quarters. The office
over at the Monte club's somewhat small

1435
02:01:42,86 --> 02:01:48,41
addition they were looking for some place
that they could also use for storage they

1436
02:01:48,42 --> 02:01:49,07
have apparently

1437
02:01:49,08 --> 02:01:55,69
a lot of assigning engine in batteries and
things of that nature and at one point

1438
02:01:56,41 --> 02:02:00,48
Redwood Capital Bank had made
an offer to allow F.B.I.

1439
02:02:01,05 --> 02:02:06,45
To use one or two of those offices now
they can at their bank and that was

1440
02:02:06,46 --> 02:02:09,53
a discussion that went on
between the board it was for

1441
02:02:09,54 --> 02:02:13,24
a one year. Agreement only

1442
02:02:13,31 --> 02:02:19,28
a hand and bid the directors felt
that because of the only offer for

1443
02:02:19,29 --> 02:02:26,24
a one year period would be sufficient so
they did decline that I think that for now

1444
02:02:26,25 --> 02:02:31,12
