00:21:45.570 --> 00:21:55.746
THEN TO FEBRUARY BY A 14 BASIS POINTS. IT'S NOW AT 3.93%. SO STILL VERY MUCH A MARKET RATE AS AS EVERYONE KNOWS, THE MARKET'S BEEN SHIFTING.

103
00:21:55.746 --> 00:22:06.991
IT'S NOT LIKE GAS PRICES REALLY SKYROCKETING. SO I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT IT'S ONLY 13 BASIS POINTS. SO IT WAS A GOOD DAY IN THE MARKET AND BEFORE YOU WITH THE

DURING PUBLIC WORKWEEKS IS PRETTY GOOD, RIGHT? I MEAN THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. THIS IS THE LEAD IN WITH THE PROCLAMATION. MISCHLER JUST TO CLARIFY, SO

106
00:22:29.381 --> 00:22:40.525
THE ORIGINAL DAY WE WERE BASICALLY ABLE TO TAKE THE $24 MILLION ASK AND REDUCE IT BY 4 MILLION BECAUSE OF THE BOND THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE WAS THAT'S THE KIND OF THE NET NET OF WHY IT WENT

107
00:22:40.525 --> 00:22:52.437
OUT AT 20 MILLION OR WAS IT 28 THAT WENT TO 24 THAT THEN PROCEEDS AT 20. >> MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBER ALESSANDRA THE PROJECT AMOUNT THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IS

108
00:22:52.437 --> 00:23:02.814
25,000,500. OKAY. SO THEY ARE GOING TO GET THE 25,000,500 WITH THE BONDS THE PREMIUM THAT WAS ON THE BONDS AND THE 4 MILLION. GOTCHA.

00:23:02.814 --> 00:23:13.291
OKAY. THAT'S ALL I NEED TO UNDERSTAND. THANKS. APPRECIATE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCILMEMBER CARTER THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO IN TERMS OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COST, ARE WE WORRIED

110
00:23:13.291 --> 00:23:24.970
OR DO WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE ENOUGH BUFFER IN THERE FOR KIND OF JUST THE VOLATILITY THAT WE'RE SEEING IN TERMS OF COSTS OF SUPPLIES, COST OF GAS WHICH WILL ALL AFFECT THE PROJECT MAYOR AND

111
00:23:24.970 --> 00:23:36.481
COUNCILMEMBER CARTER HAS ONE SECOND. I WILL LET THE CITY ENGINEER SPEAK TO THAT ONE. THANK YOU.

112
00:23:36.481 --> 00:23:48.193
IT'S LONG MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL IT IS OUR BEST ANTICIPATE THAT WE SHOULD NOT SEE A LARGE ESCALATION. I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT

113
00:23:48.193 --> 00:24:00.939
IN OUR CONTRACT THERE IS FUEL ESCALATION CLAUSE THAT IS WRITTEN BY MINOT AND WE FOLLOW ALL OF THE STANDARDS THAT SHOULD THAT BE NECESSARY THAT WE WOULD USE THAT AT THIS

114
00:24:00.939 --> 00:24:11.516
POINT IN TIME. WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT WE HAVE HAD OUR FIRST CHANGE ORDER ON THE PROJECT. THERE WAS A $0 CHANGE ORDER BASICALLY THEY WANTED TO PAY FOR MATERIALS ON HAND SEPARATELY FROM INSTALLED

115
00:24:11.516 --> 00:24:25.697
COSTS BUT THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS. >> THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBER CARTER. ONE OTHER THING IS THAT THE BID HAS ALREADY COME IN AND

116
00:24:25.697 --> 00:24:33.571
BEEN AWARDED BY THE COUNCIL SO WE WERE ABLE TO USE THOSE PRICES AND THE CONTINGENCY WITHIN THIS BID AMOUNT AND THERE ARE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS

138
00:28:55.600 --> 00:29:08.680
ENGAGEMENT THAT WE'VE DONE AS WELL TO BEGIN OF FRANCHISE FEES WERE FIRST ESTABLISHED IN 2015 WITH THE GOAL TO IMPLEMENT CHANGES IN HOW THE PMP WAS FUNDED SHOWING THE COUNCIL'S COMMITMENT TO A FEW

139
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:19.657
DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PMP BEING OVERLAYS SEAL COLT'S PARK TRAIL AND RIGHT AWAY TRAIL CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY. BACK IN DECEMBER 2015 COUNCIL APPROVED THE IMPLEMENTATION

140
00:29:19.657 --> 00:29:30.768
OF FRANCHISE FEES WITH THE NEXT INCREASE TO BE IN 2021 WE BEGAN COLLECTION OF FRANCHISE FEES IN APRIL OF 2016 FROM 2016 TO THE PRESENT WE'VE BEEN COLLECTING FRANCHISE FEES FOR

141
00:29:30.768 --> 00:29:40.912
THE OVERLAY SEAL CODES PARKING RIGHT AWAY TRAIL CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE IN THE SUMMER OF 2020 THE THE INCREASE FOR

142
00:29:40.912 --> 00:29:53.958
2021 WAS DELAYED DUE TO COVID 19 AND JULY OF 2021. COUNCIL APPROVED AN INCREASE TO FRANCHISE FEES WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THE USE OF CAP MULTIMODAL PROJECTS WITH

143
00:29:53.958 --> 00:30:04.102
FRANCHISE FEES AS WELL. TWO YEARS LATER WE CAME BACK IN MAY OF 2023 WITH ANOTHER FRANCHISE FEE INCREASE THAT WHAT THE IDEA BEING EVERY OTHER YEAR WITH THAT INCREASE

144
00:30:04.102 --> 00:30:15.813
IN 2023 WE ALSO INCLUDED NOT ONLY THE CAP MULTIMODAL PROJECTS BUT ALSO SIDEWALK AND ADA IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL AND WE CAME BACK IN JULY OF 25 TO WITH ANOTHER INCREASE

145
00:30:15.813 --> 00:30:27.158
IN COUNCIL DECIDED TO POSTPONE THAT UNTIL 2026 AND N WE'RE BACK WITH OUR CURRENT HOW WE UTILIZE OUR FRANCHISE FEES FOR OUR PMP TECHNIQUES FOR STREET RECONSTRUCTION DOES NOT

146
00:30:27.158 --> 00:30:37.869
UTILIZE FRANCHISE FEES. OUR ST MILLION OVERLAY DOES UTILIZE FRANCHISE FEES AND ALSO OUR STATE AID MAINTENANCE FUNDS. WE'VE OVERLAY TO JUST OVER 85 MILES OF STREETS SINCE 2016

147
00:30:37.869 --> 00:30:48.712
USING FRANCHISE FEES SO YOUR CALL UTILIZE THIS FRANCHISE FEES WE'VE SEALED JUST OVER 225 MILES OF STREET SINCE 2016. ALSO OUR TRAILS A PARKS AND RIGHT AWAY CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE UTILIZE FRANCHISE

148
00:30:48.712 --> 00:30:59.657
FEES I THINK WE'VE WE'VE RECONSTRUCTED ABOUT TEN MILES OF TRAILS SINCE 2016 AND ABOUT THREE 3 TO 3 AND A HALF MILES OF PARK TRAILS AS WELL AND THEN ALSO SIDEWALKS UTILIZE

149
00:30:59.657 --> 00:31:10.468
OUR FRANCHISE FEES A LITTLE BIT INFORMATION ON STATUS AND CONDITION FOR THESE DIFFERENT AREAS IN REGARDS TO OUR STREETS WE HAVE AS YOU KNOW, JUST OVER 340 MILES

150
00:31:10.468 --> 00:31:21.712
OF CENTERLINE MILES OF STREETS AND DIFFERENT VARYING PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX VALUES. BUT OVERALL WE'RE DOING VERY WELL IN REGARDS TO OUR STREETS. I'M BACK IN 2025. STAFF TOOK A CLOSE LOOK AT THE

151
00:31:21.712 --> 00:31:32.456
PMP OVERLAY PROGRAM. WE KNEW THAT WE WITH THE WITH THE PROGRAM WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REDUCE MILEAGE STARTING THIS YEAR. WE ACTUALLY REDUCED THE OVERLAY MILEAGE BY ONE MILE

152
00:31:32.456 --> 00:31:43.902
WHICH FREED UP SOME FUNDING AROUND $200,000 OF FUNDING THAT WE COULD USE FOR OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE FRANCHISE FEES. AND WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS RETAINING WALLS HERE A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE PRESENTATION TO UTILIZE THOSE PUT THOSE FUNDS TOWARDS IN REGARDS TO

153
00:31:43.902 --> 00:31:57.682
SIDEWALKS WE HAVE JUST UNDER 250 MILES OF SIDEWALKS IN BLOOMINGTON, 75 OF THOSE MILES OR SO BEING OF DEFICIENT WITH THAT BEING LESS THAN OUR STANDARD SIX FOOT WIDTH AND GENERALLY IN GOOD CONDITION.

154
00:31:57.682 --> 00:32:06.324
OUR SIDEWALKS ARE IMPROVED YEAR THROUGH OUR GENERAL MAINTENANCE CONTRACT EACH YEAR AS WELL AS THROUGH OUR PMP AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMS . AS I MENTIONED, ADA WAS IT WAS

155
00:32:06.324 --> 00:32:17.267
INCLUDED WITH FRANCHISE FEES A FEW YEARS AGO. OUR 80 IMPROVEMENTS WE HAVE ALMOST 5000 EXISTING PEDESTRIAN RAMPS IN BLOOMINGTON IN EACH YEAR WITH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER PMP PROJECTS WE REPLACE

156
00:32:17.267 --> 00:32:29.447
ABOUT 150 TO 200 OF THOSE LAST YEAR WE FOR EXAMPLE I THINK WE REPLACE THAT 155 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN REGARDS TO OUR TRAILS WE HAVE JUST UNDER 50 MILES OF ASPHALT TRAILS

157
00:32:29.447 --> 00:32:41.025
IN BLOOMINGTON 32 MILES AND RIGHT AWAY ABOUT 15 MILES APART TRAILS ARE PIECES ARE SET UP SIMILAR TO OUR STREETS IN REGARDS TO OUR DIFFERENT RANGES OF PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEXES. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED

158
00:32:41.025 --> 00:32:52.837
UTILIZING FRANCHISE FEES BACK IN 2016 WE HAD ABOUT TEN MILES OF TRAILS THAT WERE IN THE RED RANGE. THE RECONSTRUCTION RANGE WE'RE DOWN TO ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF WITH THE MAJORITY OF THOSE BEING NORMANDY BOULEVARD WHICH

159
00:32:52.837 --> 00:33:03.948
IS WHICH WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THIS YEAR AND NEXT. BUT BETWEEN OLD SHACK ABBEY ROAD AND 94TH STREET WITH THE TRAIL PROJECTS THEY DO TAKE SOME TIME TO DEVELOP A LOT AND MOST OF THOSE HAVE RIGHT

160
00:33:03.948 --> 00:33:15.059
OF WAY ACQUISITION. NORMAN BOULEVARD IS NO DIFFERENT SO IT DOES TYPICALLY THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION PROCESS IS NINE MONTHS TO A YEAR TO ACQUIRE SO WE'RE GETTING THROUGH THAT THOSE LIST OF TRAILS AND WE'RE GETTING VERY CLOSE AT THIS

161
00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:26.570
POINT IN REGARDS TO UPCOMING TRAIL WORK WE HAVE AS I MENTIONED NORMANDY BOULEVARD AND IN REGARDS TO SIDEWALKS ON NICOLLET AVENUE FROM OLD CHALK BE ROLLED UP TO AMERICAN BOULEVARD AS PART OF HENNEPIN

162
00:33:26.570 --> 00:33:36.914
COUNTY'S NICOLLET AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT THERE WILL BE SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS IMPROVED IN 27 AND 28 AND THEN IN REGARDS TO PARK TRAILS WE HAVE MOIA IN CENTRAL PARKS THAT ARE COMING UP THIS YEAR

163
00:33:36.914 --> 00:33:49.694
AND NEXT AS PART OF OUR NINE MILE CREEK CORRIDOR RENEWAL PROJECT OUR PMP LIFECYCLE JUST SHOWING THAT WITH ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WE CAN EXTEND THE LIFE OF OUR OF OUR PAVEMENTS.

164
00:33:49.694 --> 00:33:58.636
ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE LOOK AT EVERY YEAR WHEN WE COME THROUGH WITH OUR PMP PROJECTS IS WHERE WE CAN IMPROVE SAFETY MULTI-MODAL SIDEWALK CONDITIONS WITH OUR PROJECTS UTILIZING OUR FRANCHISE FEES. ONE EXAMPLE IS JUST WEST

165
00:33:58.636 --> 00:34:09.180
OF WEST OF HERE ON 98TH STREET JUST WEST OF PENN AVENUE WITH OUR 2026 OVERLAY PROJECT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING TO TAKE ONE EXISTING NARROW DEFICIENT WITH WALK ALONG 90 AS WELL AS

166
00:34:09.180 --> 00:34:21.325
SOME CURB WALK AND REMOVING BOTH OF THOSE AND REPLACING IT WITH STANDARD WALK FILLING A GAP WHERE THEIR STANDARD WALK ON BOTH SIDES ALONG 90TH STREET ONE OF THE ITEMS WILL BE UTILIZING OUR FRANCHISE

167
00:34:21.325 --> 00:34:33.938
FEES FOR WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT OTHER TECHNIQUES OTHER SUSTAINABLE TECHNIQUES TO BE UTILIZING WITH OUR PMP PROGRAM LAST YEAR ONE OF OUR 2020

168
00:34:33.938 --> 00:34:45.383
RECONSTRUCT AREAS AS YOU CAN SEE SHOWN ON THE MAP HERE WASHBURN VINCENT UPTON AREA WE DID A RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUE VERSUS DOING OUR SEAL COURT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OTHER NEIGHBORING CITIES ON THEIR

169
00:34:45.383 --> 00:34:54.491
USE OF RECLAMATION. SO WE DID A TEST AREA OF OUR OWN SIMILAR TO A SEAL TO THE TYPE OF THE MAINTENANCE THAT'S DONE BUT THERE'S NO ROCK INCLUDED WITH THAT. IT'S JUST A LIQUID EMULSION. SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT AND POSSIBLY DO A FEW MORE

170
00:34:54.491 --> 00:35:04.735
AREAS AS WELL. AND ALSO WE UTILIZED WARM MIXED ASPHALT LAST YEAR WHEN ONE OF OUR OVERLAY AREAS IN THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF TOWN LORING MIX LOWER MIX TEMPS

171
00:35:04.735 --> 00:35:16.881
SAVING FUEL AND WE CUT CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS BY ABOUT 5000KG WHICH IS BASICALLY THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE PASSENGER CAR AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT WITH SOME OTHER AREAS MOVING FORWARD AS WELL.

172
00:35:16.881 --> 00:35:29.827
NOW RETAINING WALLS WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD ANOTHER CATEGORY TO OUR FRANCHISE FEES AND THAT BEING RETAINING WALLS. WE HAVE JUST UNDER 530 RETAINING WALLS IN OUR EXISTING IN OUR RIGHT AWAY. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF WALLS

173
00:35:29.827 --> 00:35:41.672
VARYING AGES, VARYING SIDES, VARYING SIZES AND WITH THOSE RETAINING WALLS WE HAVE A FEW OF THEM THAT ARE COMING UP OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS A FEW THAT WE REPLACED IN THE

174
00:35:41.672 --> 00:35:52.849
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND SOME THAT ARE COMING UP FOR EXAMPLE ON 90TH STREET WE REPLACED A REVIEW A FEW OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AND WE'LL BE REPLACING ANOTHER ONE THIS YEAR. THERE'S A FEW ALONG NORMANDALE BOULEVARD WEST BUSH LAKE ROAD THAT ARE IN THE NEAR TERM A

175
00:35:52.849 --> 00:36:03.760
RETAINING WALLS PREVIOUSLY WERE FUNDED USING OUR GENERAL FUND A SMALL AMOUNT OF DOLLARS WE'RE ALLOCATED TOWARDS SMALL RETAINING WALL REPAIRS AND THEN WE'D CARRY OVER THOSE DOLLARS FROM YEAR TO YEAR AS

176
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:14.972
WELL AS UTILIZING STATE DOLLARS WHERE WE COULD FOR THESE RETAINING WALL REPLACEMENTS WITH THESE LARGER WALLS. IT'S HARD TO BE CARRYING OVER THOSE DOLLARS FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND STILL KEEP UP WITH THIS MAINTENANCE.

177
00:36:14.972 --> 00:36:25.850
SO WE'RE LOOKING TO UTILIZE SOME OF THAT THOSE FRANCHISE FEES DOLLARS TO HELP WITH OUR MAINTENANCE OF OUR RETAINING WALLS IN REGARDS TO THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAT WE'VE DONE

178
00:36:25.850 --> 00:36:37.862
THIS YEAR WITH THIS WITH THIS FRANCHISE FEE UPDATE WE HAVE HOSTED A LET'S TALK BLOOMINGTON PAGE SINCE WE SINCE WE MET WITH COUNCIL BACK IN EARLY MARCH FOR THE STUDY SESSION WE OPENED OUR FRANCHISE FEE UPDATE PAGE

179
00:36:37.862 --> 00:36:49.340
WHICH IS STILL ACTIVE CURRENTLY. WE ALSO SENT OUT A FEW SOCIAL MEDIA BLASTS AND SUBSCRIBED AS MANY INDIVIDUALS AS WE COULD THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS THAT

180
00:36:49.340 --> 00:36:58.849
WERE ON E SUBSCRIBED LISTS WITHIN BLOOMINGTON FOR AN OPEN HOUSE AND ALSO FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING. OPEN HOUSE WAS HELD ON APRIL 29TH. WE USED THE HOME IMPROVEMENT FAIR AS A WAY TO TO TO GET THE

181
00:36:58.849 --> 00:37:09.927
INFORMATION OUT THERE AS WELL. WE'VE USED OUR WEBSITE. WE HAD A BLURB IN THE MAIN BRIEFING AS WELL. UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ATTENDEES AT THE OPEN HOUSE ON APRIL 29TH AND WE TRIED TO PULL A FEW IN THAT

182
00:37:09.927 --> 00:37:20.303
WERE WALKING PAST AND TALKED TO HIM ABOUT FRANCHISE FEES BUT THEY HAD ZERO INTEREST IN TALKING TO US ABOUT IT SO SO UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY ATTEND THE THE OPEN HOUSE BUT WE DID PUT THE INFORMATION OUT THERE IN AS

183
00:37:20.303 --> 00:37:33.684
MANY AVENUES AS WE COULD TO GET TO GET THE WORD OUT SO GO AHEAD. AND THEN CIRCLING BACK TO THE THE FRANCHISE FEE RATES, THE

184
00:37:33.684 --> 00:37:44.295
LAST TIME THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZED AN INCREASE IN THE RATES WAS IN 2023. SO WE'VE BEEN AT THE SAME RATES THAT ARE LISTED CURRENTLY IN THE 2026 COLUMN AND SO MOVING FORWARD TO THE

185
00:37:44.295 --> 00:37:54.572
2027 PROPOSED RATES THE RESIDENTIAL RATE WILL REMAIN FLAT. THE COMMERCIAL NON DEMAND IS INCREASING BY $1.10 PER MONTH

186
00:37:54.572 --> 00:38:05.249
AND THE COMMERCIAL DEMAND AT $17 A MONTH AND THEN THE LARGER COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL BY $18 A MONTH AND SO IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE WE'VE

187
00:38:05.249 --> 00:38:15.893
HAD A RATE SO SOME OF THE NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE HIGH BUT IT COVERS THOSE THREE YEARS AND WE WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER RATE INCREASE OR WILL WOULD NOT BE COMING BACK TO CITY

188
00:38:15.893 --> 00:38:29.139
COUNCIL FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS . SO THAT'S ALL WE HAVE WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD.

189
00:38:29.139 --> 00:38:38.549
APPRECIATE IT. COUNCIL QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GET INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING I HAVE ONE REMIND ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMAND AND ON DEMAND MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

190
00:38:38.549 --> 00:38:49.860
I WILL ASK ONE OF THEIR EXPERTS IF THEY COULD COME IN AND EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMAND AND DEMAND. OKAY. THANKS, MICHEL.

191
00:38:49.860 --> 00:39:00.671
GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT IF YOU COULD INTRODUCE YOURSELF OH, I'M SORRY. MICHELLE SWANSON WITH XCEL ENERGY DEMAND IS ESSENTIALLY

192
00:39:00.671 --> 00:39:12.950
IF IF A COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER ACTUALLY HAS KIND OF A PEAK LOAD THAT'S CONSIDERED A DEMAND AND DEPENDING ON HOW LARGE THAT IS THERE WILL BE IN A RATE CLASS WILL THEY'LL

193
00:39:12.950 --> 00:39:22.926
BE CHARGED BASED ON THAT DEMAND. SO YOU THINK ABOUT A RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER I MEAN THEIR DEMAND THEIR DEMAND EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE A NON DEMAND CUSTOMER WOULD TYPICALLY BE ON

194
00:39:22.926 --> 00:39:34.505
A SUMMER DAY AT 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON ON A HOT HUMID DAY. SO OUR BUSINESSES THOUGH THEY ACTUALLY GENERATE ENOUGH POWER AND HAVE ENOUGH LOAD THAT THEY

195
00:39:34.505 --> 00:39:48.419
DO END UP HAVING A PEAK WHICH WE DO CHARGE FOR THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S HELPFUL. AND I THINK WE HAVE AN AN

196
00:39:48.419 --> 00:40:00.097
ADDENDUM MAYOR AND COUNCIL CONCLUDES AND FOR CENTERPOINT ENERGY GAS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SO WE DON'T HAVE DEMAND AND WITHIN THE PACKET IT NOTES WHERE THE COMMERCIAL

197
00:40:00.097 --> 00:40:11.374
AND INDUSTRIAL CATEGORIES FALL WITHIN IT SO FOR SIMPLICITY'S SAKE THERE'S JUST THE ONE THE ONE AREA BUT DEMAND IS FOR ELECTRIC RATHER THAN GAS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VERY HELPFUL.

198
00:40:11.374 --> 00:40:22.453
THANK YOU MUCH COUNSEL ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. DON'T GO FAR WITH THAT. I WILL OPEN THIS PUBLIC

199
00:40:22.453 --> 00:40:34.098
HEARING AND ITEM 4.2 THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING ORDINANCES AMENDING CHAPTER 20 . CENTERPOINT ENERGY AND XCEL ENERGY FRANCHISE FEES IS THERE ANYONE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS

200
00:40:34.098 --> 00:40:46.944
WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM 4.2 THIS EVENING ? GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME AS

201
00:40:46.944 --> 00:41:00.457
FAR AS IT GOES AND AS FAR AS IT GOES I THINK SO, YES OR OKAY SO IF YOU COULD INTRODUCE

202
00:41:00.457 --> 00:41:11.902
YOURSELF. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS MATTHEW HALLETT. I'M A RESIDENT OF BLOOMINGTON . BEFORE I BEGIN, CAN I ASK A QUESTION WITH AN ANSWER AND AS IT PERTAINS TO THE FRANCHISE

203
00:41:11.902 --> 00:41:22.746
FEES, WHO'S PAYING THE FRANCHISE FEES? IS IT THE CUSTOMER PAYING THE CITY OR IS IT THE CORPORATION PAYING THE CITY FOR THESE FRANCHISE FEES?

204
00:41:22.746 --> 00:41:34.325
WHAT WE DO GENERALLY, MR. HALLETT, IS WE WE COLLECT THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWER THEM AFTERWARD AND AS WE FINISH UP TO THE PUBLIC HEARING IT JUST MAKES IT EASIER SO WE'RE NOT SHOOTING FROM THE HIP. WE HAVE STAFF TIME TO COLLECT

205
00:41:34.325 --> 00:41:45.936
THEIR THEIR THOUGHTS A LITTLE. SURE. OKAY. WELL I'M SHOOTING FROM THE HIP HERE SO BEAR IN MIND I'M UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE PAYING THESE FRANCHISE FEES AND I FIND THAT

206
00:41:45.936 --> 00:41:57.081
INTERESTING BECAUSE BOTH CENTERPOINT AND XCEL ARE RAKING IN RECORD PROFITS. THEIR CEOS ARE MAKING TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR

207
00:41:57.081 --> 00:42:08.525
. I DON'T SEE AND IN ADDITION TO THE ENERGY CRISIS THAT WAS ARTIFICIAL ON TOP OF IT IT

208
00:42:08.525 --> 00:42:19.769
STANDS THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE TAKING MULTIPLE HITS ON THIS IF IF MY ASSUMPTION HERE AND PART AND I GOT WRAPPED UP INTO ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO THIS OUTSIDE SO I

209
00:42:19.769 --> 00:42:31.415
DIDN'T I KIND OF WALKED IN HERE ALL OF A BLIND ABOUT THIS BUT IF MY ASSUMPTION HERE IS CORRECT I'M ALL FOR GREAT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

210
00:42:31.415 --> 00:42:43.026
I'M A HUGE PROPONENT OF ACTIVE TRANSIT. I WANT TO SEE MORE BIKE LANES . I WANT TO SEE SAFER STREETS. I WANT TO SEE THE ABILITY FOR RESIDENTS TO CLAIM THEIR OWN

211
00:42:43.026 --> 00:42:54.138
DESTINY IN TERMS OF WHAT IS BUILT AROUND THEM AND MAKES MAKE THEIR OWN THEIR OWN STREETS SAFER BUT AT THE

212
00:42:54.138 --> 00:43:05.382
EXPENSE WHEN WE HAVE WHEN WE COULD POTENTIALLY BE OFFERED THE CHOICE OF WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS. I FEEL AS THOUGH IT SHOULD BE THE CORPORATIONS THAT ARE

213
00:43:05.382 --> 00:43:15.659
RAKING IN RECORD PROFITS HAND OVER FIST. SO THAT'S MY FOCUS CENTS $0.02. THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANKS. THANK YOU, MR. HALLETT.

214
00:43:15.659 --> 00:43:30.974
FOR OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK AT THIS RATE, DO WE HAVE ANYONE ON THE PHONE? >> MAYOR WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE ON LINE. >> LAST CHANCE FOR ANYBODY IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS COUNCIL? NO ONE COMING FORWARD IN THE

215
00:43:30.974 --> 00:43:40.817
CHAMBERS. NO ONE ON THE PHONE WISHING TO SPEAK. I WOULD LOOK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 4.2 SO MOVED MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER DALLESSANDRO

216
00:43:40.817 --> 00:43:52.196
SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 4.2 NO FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I CLOSED. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO SO WE DID HAVE ONE QUESTION WHO

217
00:43:52.196 --> 00:44:04.207
ULTIMATELY PAYS? I THINK MY UNDERSTANDING AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IS THIS IS CHARGED TO THE UTILITIES AND THEN THAT COST IS GENERALLY PASSED ON TO THE

218
00:44:04.207 --> 00:44:17.054
RATE PAYERS. IS THAT CORRECT? THIS KIND OF SHOW THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL THAT IS CORRECT. THE ORDINANCE AS IT'S WRITTEN IS A CONTRACT BETWEEN US AND THE UTILITIES.

219
00:44:17.054 --> 00:44:28.398
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND JUST TO POINT OUT THAT THE RESIDENTIAL RATE IS NOT GOING UP SO HAPPY. THANK YOU, COUNSEL THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OVER THOUGHTS ON

220
00:44:28.398 --> 00:44:40.744
THIS COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO BECAUSE I CAN MR. MAYOR, I'M GOING TO MAKE THE SAME STATEMENT BECAUSE I THINK IS RELEVANT TO THE SPEAKERS QUESTION ANYWAY SO WE CHARGE

221
00:44:40.744 --> 00:44:52.122
THE THE THE UTILITIES AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S LEGISLATURE THAT MIGHT COME IN THE FUTURE THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO DO THIS TO THE FOLKS THAT DELIVER FIBER NOW TO THE CURB. OKAY. SO I'M I'M UNDER THE UNDER THE

222
00:44:52.122 --> 00:45:03.233
UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY MAY BE ROLLED INTO THIS AT SOME POINT. I HAVEN'T HEARD DEFINITIVE ON THAT. BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT FIBER REPAIRS YOU KNOW AT&T, T-MOBILE'S ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME ROUGHSHOD THROUGH OUR

223
00:45:03.233 --> 00:45:14.844
UTILITIES LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ARE GOING TO ALSO POTENTIALLY BE CHARGED FRANCHISE FEES. THAT IS BECAUSE THEY USE OUR RIGHT AWAY. SO THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. IT'S FOR THE OUR ROADS. IT'S TO LET THEM HAVE ACCESS

224
00:45:14.844 --> 00:45:26.223
TO OUR EASEMENTS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT FOR ANY OF THOSE FOLKS WHO HAVE HAD FOLKS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS COMING THROUGH AND CLEANING UP ALL THE TREES ON THE BACK OF OUR HOUSES AND EVERYTHING

225
00:45:26.223 --> 00:45:37.968
LIKE THAT, THEY GET IF YOU HAD IF YOU HAD FLOWERS BACK THERE SORRY. THAT'S WHAT THEY GET TO DO. LET'S PART OF THIS WHOLE THING AND WE GET CHARGE TO MAINTAIN THE THINGS THAT ALLOW THEM TO EASE OF ACCESS OF USE AROUND OUR CITY.

226
00:45:37.968 --> 00:45:49.079
THEY DON'T HAVE TO PASS THEM THROUGH TO CUSTOMERS. THEY DON'T HAVE TO. OKAY, BUT YOUR BEEF CAN'T BE HERE. YOU BEEF HAS TO BE WITH THE PUC BECAUSE IT'S THE IT'S STATE LEGISLATURE THAT ALLOWS

227
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:57.754
THESE COMPANIES TO PASS THROUGH TO RATEPAYERS AND THAT'S WHERE IT NEEDS TO CHANGE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT CHANGE. ANYBODY WANTS TO INVITE ME TO GO TO A PUBLIC SPEAKING EVENT AT THE STATE HOUSE TO GET IT

228
00:45:57.754 --> 00:46:09.298
CHANGED. I'M ALL IN ON IT BUT SO I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT OF OUR SPEAKER TONIGHT BUT IT IS A PROBLEM OF THE PUC AND OUR STATE LEGISLATURE THAT THAT THAT

229
00:46:09.298 --> 00:46:19.910
THAT EXCEL AND CENTER POINT EVENTS TO THEM ARE ALLOWED TO PASS THIS THROUGH IF THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED TO PASS IT THROUGH THEY'D HAVE TO EAT IT THEY WOULD BECAUSE WE WOULD CHARGE IT ANYWAY BUT THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BUILT SO THAT IT

230
00:46:19.910 --> 00:46:31.955
COMES RIGHT BACK TO US AS THE PAYERS AND THAT'S UNFORTUNATE. SO I'LL JUST MAKE MY AN ANNUAL PLUG EVERY TIME WE TALK ABOUT THIS TO GO TALK TO YOUR P PUC AND GO TALK TO YOUR STATE LEGISLATURES TO GET THAT CHANGED.

231
00:46:31.955 --> 00:46:44.001

249
00:49:55.258 --> 00:50:07.804
THE INFORMATION FROM OUR REPRESENTATIVES FROM XCEL AND CENTERPOINT. THANK YOU MUCH. WE'RE MOVE ON COUNCIL TO OUR SECOND AND FINAL PUBLIC HEARING OF THIS EVENING. ITEM 4.3 IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR REZONING FROM FD2 TO B

250
00:50:07.804 --> 00:50:16.579
ONE. THE ADDRESS IS 830 OLD CEDAR AVENUE SOUTH. THIS ORDER FROM OUR PLANNING STAFF IS HERE. GOOD EVENING. WELCOME. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. I AM HERE THIS EVENING TO

251
00:50:16.579 --> 00:50:29.359
PRESENT ON A REZONING AT 8030 OLD CEDAR C I HAVE A LOCATION IS 8030 OLD CEDAR AVENUE SOUTH THAT'S JUST OFF OF OLD CEDAR

252
00:50:29.359 --> 00:50:38.735
AND 80TH STREET IT'S THE EXISTING BUILDING IS A TWO STORY MULTI TENANT BUILDING WITH A VARYING MIX OF TENANTS

253
00:50:38.735 --> 00:50:52.915
BUT MOSTLY OFFICE AND IT'S ZONED FD2 AND SO THE PROPOSAL THE PROPERTY OWNER WANTS TO ADD A RETAIL TENANT WHICH IS

254
00:50:52.915 --> 00:51:01.658
SPECIFICALLY A SPA SALON AND RETAIL ALL IS NOT ALLOWED IN ITS CURRENT ZONING DISTRICT AND RETAIL IS A LIMITED USE

255
00:51:01.658 --> 00:51:13.837
IN THE B ONE THE PROPOSED SORRY RETAIL IS A LIMITED USE IN THE PROPOSED B ONE ZONING DISTRICT WHICH IS CAN OCCUPY MORE THAN 25% OF THE FLOOR AREA AND WHAT THEY'RE

256
00:51:13.837 --> 00:51:27.083
PROPOSING FOR THE SPA AND SALON IS ONLY 6% OF THE FLOOR AREA AND SO THEY WOULD MEET THE SIZE LIMITATION UNDER THE

257
00:51:27.083 --> 00:51:38.060
PROPOSED NEW ZONING DISTRICT AND SO B ONE THIS ZONING DISTRICT IS MORE OF A TRANSITION ZONING DISTRICT BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND

258
00:51:38.060 --> 00:51:53.243
COMMERCIAL USES AND IT'S WHAT WAS MY NOTE HERE LOWER INTENSITY USES IN THIS ZONING DISTRICT AND THEN YOU'LL SEE

259
00:51:53.243 --> 00:52:04.754
THAT THERE IS RESIDENTIAL TO THE NORTH AND THEN SOME OFFICE KIND OF COMMERCIAL USES TO THE SOUTH. THOSE SOUTHERN PROPERTIES ARE ALSO ZONED B ONE SO THIS IS

260
00:52:04.754 --> 00:52:15.665
ALSO CONSISTENT THE PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND SO WITH REZONING WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ALSO COMPLIANT WITH

261
00:52:15.665 --> 00:52:27.110
OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND SO THE CURRENT GUIDE PLAN IS OFFICE AND SO THIS B ONE PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT IS MORE IN LINE WITH THAT ZONING

262
00:52:27.110 --> 00:52:36.920
OR THE GUIDE PLAN BECAUSE D TWO IS MORE OF INDUSTRIAL WHICH ALLOWS FOR MORE WAREHOUSE AND MANUFACTURING USES WHEREAS B ONE IS MORE OFFICE ORIENTED.

263
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:47.430
SO THIS DOES COMPLY WITH THE EXISTING GUIDE PLAN AND THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE GUIDE PLAN. THEY'RE KEEPING THE OFFICE DESIGNATION AND JUST WANT TO

264
00:52:47.430 --> 00:52:59.643
NOTE THAT EXCUSE ME AND THEN WITH OH MY GOODNESS WITH THIS WE ANALYZE THE EXISTING OFFICE LAND USE CATEGORY AS I MENTIONED WHICH ALLOWS FOR

265
00:52:59.643 --> 00:53:10.853
PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS OFFICES AS WELL AS LIMITED ACCESSORY RETAIL AND RESTAURANT USES. AND THEN AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THIS PROPOSED B ONE ZONING

266
00:53:10.853 --> 00:53:22.365
DISTRICT IS MORE COMPATIBLE AND IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING SITES AND LAND USES AND THAT'S ALSO NOT GOING TO CREATE AN EXCESSIVE BURDEN . IT'S SERVED ADEQUATELY BY OLD

267
00:53:22.365 --> 00:53:33.676
CEDAR AVENUE. IT HAS UTILITY CAPACITY AND COMPLIANT OFF STREET PARKING TO ACCOMMODATE THE SMALL RETAIL TENANT. SO WITH THAT PRETTY SHORT

268
00:53:33.676 --> 00:53:45.088
PRESENTATION PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE HERE IN ATTENDANCE SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS?

269
00:53:45.088 --> 00:53:57.033
I'M SORRY? COUNCIL MEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. AND JUST A QUICK QUESTION. IT THE BUILDING ITSELF LOOKS LIKE AN OFFICE FROM THE GET GO SO I WAS KIND OF CURIOUS WHY IT WAS ZONED 42 TO BEGIN WITH.

270
00:53:57.033 --> 00:54:08.378
DO WE KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED THAT WAY OR IS IT JUST WAS IT LIKE A TURNOVER SITUATION OR ANYTHING? MAYOR DULCE COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO I'M NOT SURE I HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT.

271
00:54:08.378 --> 00:54:17.954
I KNOW I MEAN D TWO IS FREEWAY DEVELOPMENT SO IT'S RIGHT ALONG A FREEWAY SO THAT SORT OF MAKES SENSE BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE HISTORICAL KIND

272
00:54:17.954 --> 00:54:29.165
OF CONTACTS THERE. OKAY. YEAH I AND THERE'S NO THERE'S NO TENANTS IN THERE NOW THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN CONFLICT WITH B ONE BY VIRTUE OF THEM BEING IF WE IF WE MADE THIS

273
00:54:29.165 --> 00:54:40.777
CHANGES AND ANYBODY CURRENTLY IN THE BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO BE LIKE OH NO I'M NOT I'M AN INDUSTRIAL PERSON AND I'M NOT GOING TO SIT NOW OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER NOW AS I

274
00:54:40.777 --> 00:54:51.721
MENTIONED MOST OF THE TENANTS ARE OFFICE RELAT AND THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH B ONE. SO VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. COUNCILMEMBER LAMONT, COULD YOU TALK ABOUT THE COFFEE SHOP ?

275
00:54:51.721 --> 00:55:02.932
OH, SURE. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER LEMON IN THE APPLICATION MATERIALS THE PROPERTY OWNER MENTIONED OPENING UP A SMALLER COFFEE SHOP WHICH IS A RESTAURANT PER ZONING

276
00:55:02.932 --> 00:55:14.277
CODE WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE PROPOSED B ONE ZONING DISTRICT. AND SO IF THEY WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT IN THE FUTURE THEY'D HAVE TO PURSUE A

277
00:55:14.277 --> 00:55:25.155
CITY CODE CHANGE PRIVATELY INITIATED. SECOND CHANGE TO ALLOW FOR RESTAURANTS AND B ONE AS I MENTIONED THAT THE OWNER I

278
00:55:25.155 --> 00:55:35.999
DON'T THINK INTENDS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE COFFEE SHOP AT THIS TIME BUT JUST SO THEY'RE AWARE THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER KIND OF STEP IN ORDER TO OPERATE THAT VERY

279
00:55:35.999 --> 00:55:48.244
GOOD. YOU MENTIONED THAT THE BUILDING OWNER IS HERE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO THE CONVERSATIO THIS EVENING AND THE ANSWER CAN BE NO IF YOU IF YOU'D

280
00:55:48.244 --> 00:55:58.821
RATHER NOT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER THEM. BUT ANY QUESTIONS? NO. OKAY. THANK YOU. STICK AROUND. MAYBE SOME MORE WILL POP UP. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. DE.

298
00:59:08.744 --> 00:59:21.624
OUT PRETTY PRETTY MUCH THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY. SO BASICALLY WE NEED SIX FIRE STATIONS.

299
00:59:21.624 --> 00:59:31.634
HAVE A QUICK VIDEO HERE WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU OF A FIRE THAT OCCURRED ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO ON WEST 90TH STREET. THIS IS A VIDEO OF HOW FAST

300
00:59:31.634 --> 00:59:42.812
FIRE CAN MOVE AND SMOKE AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE A WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS IN YOUR HOME. THIS FIRE STARTED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE AT ABOUT

301
00:59:42.812 --> 00:59:55.091
4 OR 5 IN THE AFTERNOON. WE GOT DISPATCHED FOR A HOUSE FIRE. THIS IS THE RING CAMERA OF THE INSIDE OF THE HOME. THIS THIS FOOTAGE WAS PROVIDED

302
00:59:55.091 --> 01:00:05.935
TO US BY THE HOMEOWNER WITH PERMISSION TO SHOW IT. I CAN SEE WE HAVE A COUPLE OF DOGS AND I WONDERING WHAT'S GOING ON. >> YOU SEE THE GLOW ON THE LEFT THERE?

303
01:00:05.935 --> 01:00:17.279
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR KIND OF THE POPPING AND BREAKING OF GLASS AND IT'S ALSO A CAT SO SO THIS FIRE

304
01:00:17.279 --> 01:00:28.090
STARTS TO GROW AND IT GROWS VERY QUICKLY. THE SMOKE YOU CAN SEE ON THE TOP OF THE CEILING IS ENTERING THE HOUSE NOW THAT SMOKE IS GOING TO START TO BUILD AND LOWER.

305
01:00:28.090 --> 01:00:39.669
>> SO CLEARLY IT'S COMING COMING IN NOW AND PEOPLE THAT WERE IF THEY WERE INSIDE HERE ON THIS FLOOR, THEY WOULD ONLY HAVE SECONDS TO GET OUT THE

306
01:00:39.669 --> 01:00:48.578
SMOKE AND HEAT'S GOING TO IS BUILD IN THE HOME AND THEN LOWER. SO THE HEAT RIGHT NOW AT THE TOP OF THAT THAT CEILING LEVEL IS AS DANGEROUS BUT IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN. YOU COULD STILL GET OUT AT

307
01:00:48.578 --> 01:01:02.391
THIS POINT IF YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS ARE ARE SOUNDING AS YOU CAN TELL THE THE DOGS AND THE CATS ARE PRETTY WORRIED. I WILL SAY THESE THEY GET OUT

308
01:01:02.391 --> 01:01:13.402
THEY DO SURVIVE LIKE I LIKE DOGS BUT THE CAT WAS A SMART ONE THERE. RAN RIGHT DOWN THE STAIRS. CAT WENT DOWNSTAIRS THE SMOKE ALARMS WOULD HAVE ACTIVATED WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS BY NOW

309
01:01:13.402 --> 01:01:22.778
AND IT WOULD HAVE ALERTED ANYONE THAT WAS IN THE HOUSE. >> THERE IS SOMEONE IN THIS HOUSE AND YOU'LL HEAR THEM SHORTLY. >> NO SMOKE DETECTORS ARE

310
01:01:22.778 --> 01:01:34.857
SOUNDING HERE SO AS YOU CAN BARELY SEE HER BUT SHE'S COMING UP THE STAIRS. THEY'RE IN THE VIDEO YELLING FOR THE DOG AND THE CAT OR THE DOG AND CAT.

311
01:01:34.857 --> 01:01:48.938
THE FIRE IS STILL GROWING. >> WE'RE NOT SURE IF WE'RE IN ROUTE OR NOT YET AS FAR AS BUT HERE YOU CAN SEE THE VIDEO COMING IN FROM THE OUTSIDE.

312
01:01:48.938 --> 01:02:00.683
THIS IS OUR FIRST ENGINE FROM STATION FOUR ARRIVING INTO CHIEF'S AND BEDROOM AND WE'RE GOING TO GET FEEDING OR

313
01:02:00.683 --> 01:02:12.094
DRIVING CONTROL DOWN AND YOU CAN TELL THIS FIRE IS ADVANCED ALL THROUGH THE OUTSIDE THERE INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE HOME AND INTO THE ATTIC SPACE.

314
01:02:12.094 --> 01:02:23.405
OUR CREWS DO A NICE JOB. THEY GET WATER ON THIS QUICKLY, GET THAT WATER INTO THAT ATTIC SPACE, PUT THAT FIRE OUT AND THEN WE ALSO SENT CREWS INSIDE, GOT A SEARCH

315
01:02:23.405 --> 01:02:34.584
OF THE HOME, THE DOGS AND THE CAT AND THEY WENT OUT THE BASEMENT DOOR WITH WITH THE OCCUPANT THAT WAS STILL INSIDE THE HOME. EVERYONE WAS OKAY. NO ONE WAS INJURED.

316
01:02:34.584 --> 01:02:46.295
BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST REINFORCING THE FACT THE WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS AND THEN HAVING ENOUGH PEOPLE TO PUT ON THAT FIRE AROUND TO PUT THIS FIRE OUT AN EFFECTIVE RESPONSE FOR US FOR US, YOU

317
01:02:46.295 --> 01:02:57.273
KNOW, AS THOSE MULTI MULTI-UNIT RESPONSES. SO AN INCIDENT LIKE THIS OR A SERIOUS CAR CRASH WHERE PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED HAZMAT INCIDENT TECH RESCUE AND SO FORTH,

318
01:02:57.273 --> 01:03:06.081
HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE AFTERMATH OF THE FIRE. YOU CAN SEE THE HEAT AND THE SMOKE DAMAGE TO THIS HOUSE IF YOU'RE INSIDE THAT SPACE AND YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO EXIT, YOU

319
01:03:06.081 --> 01:03:20.963
WOULD NOT SURVIVE. SO FOR 2025 ARE OUR METRICS ARE WE HAD ABOUT 11,730 CALLS

320
01:03:20.963 --> 01:03:31.373
. WE HAD 73 OF THOSE WHERE WE HAD TO ROLL SHORT WITH ONLY TWO FIREFIGHTERS ON A TRUCK. USUALLY THIS WAS DUE TO ONE OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS BEING SENT IN AN AMBULANCE TO HELP WITH THE PATIENT CARE AND THE REST

321
01:03:31.373 --> 01:03:41.283
OF THE CREW GOING BACK TO THE STATION AND GET GOING BACK IN SERVICE WITH TWO WITH 19 STRUCTURE FIRES AND 2025 WHERE WE ACTUALLY DEPLOYED HOSE LINES. WE HAD ONE CIVILIAN FATALITY

322
01:03:41.283 --> 01:03:54.363
AND WE HAD 14 INJURIES. ALL 11 OF THOSE ARE FROM ONE INCIDENT FOR SMOKE INHALATION DUE TO LITHIUM BATTERY FIRE. LITHIUM BATTERY SMOKE IS VERY TOXIC, VERY DANGEROUS.

323
01:03:54.363 --> 01:04:03.606
WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE OF THESE LITHIUM LITHIUM BATTERY FIRES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO IF YOU ENCOUNTER SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND YOU GET IN THAT

324
01:04:03.606 --> 01:04:14.983
SMOKE, IT'S IT'S VERY DANGEROUS PIECE OUT CALLED ARRIVAL. >> SO OUR GOAL SEVEN MINUTES THAT'S WHEN SOMEONE CALLS 911 THE DISPATCHER PICKS UP THE PHONE.

325
01:04:14.983 --> 01:04:25.160
THAT'S WHEN THE CLOCK STARTS SEVEN 37 MINUTES 30S THAT'S WHEN WE WANT TO GET THERE. OUR STATS FOR 2025 WAS NINE MINUTES AND 11 SECONDS CAN SEE

326
01:04:25.160 --> 01:04:36.505
WE DID NOT MEET OUR GOAL OUR DISTRICTS WITH NO STAFFING OR STAFFING SHORTAGES. DISTRICT TWO IS 952 DISTRICT SIX IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE CITY IS TEN MINUTES AND

327
01:04:36.505 --> 01:04:49.185
20S AGAIN THAT EFFECTIVE RESPONSE FORCE ARRIVAL WE HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT WE NEED TO PUT ON THE SCENE IS 11 MINUTES 30S AS YOU CAN SEE WE'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE.

328
01:04:49.185 --> 01:05:02.264
WE'RE AT 2636. THAT NUMBER EVEN GOES UP IF YOU ADD A COUPLE MORE AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT THAT STAT HERE SHORTLY OVERLAPPING CALLS 42% OF THE TIME WE HAVE OVERLAPPING INCIDENTS.

329
01:05:02.264 --> 01:05:13.108
THIS HAS AN EFFECT ON OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND AND GET THAT NUMBER DOWN BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE AND ENOUGH TRUCK STAFF. SO YOU CAN SEE TWO CALLS THERE'S 3600 INCIDENTS WHERE

330
01:05:13.108 --> 01:05:23.452
WE HAD TWO AND THEN IT JUST KIND OF GOES DOWN FROM THERE. BUT 42% OF THE TIME OF OVERLAPPING INCIDENCES IS QUITE HIGH JUST TO POINT OUT

331
01:05:23.452 --> 01:05:34.763
SIX CALLS EIGHT TIMES WE DON'T HAVE SIX TRUCKS STAFFED. SO WE WERE FILLING THOSE IN WITH CHIEFS AND OTHER RESPONSE FOR 2026 THIS IS UP

332
01:05:34.763 --> 01:05:47.209
UNTIL APRIL 30TH CALLS ARE UP A LITTLE BIT 4%. WE'RE AT 3929. OUR ROLE SHORTS WERE AT TO FILL THE ROLES ZERO WHICH IS

333
01:05:47.209 --> 01:05:58.187
GOOD TEN STRUCTURE FIRES AS OF THE END OF APRIL WE'VE ADDED TO THAT NUMBER IN MAY THINK WE'VE HAD 3 OR 4 MORE SOME COUPLE SERIOUS APARTMENT FIRES IN THE LAST COUPLE

334
01:05:58.187 --> 01:06:07.829
OF WEEKS. NO FATALITIES THANKFULLY WE'VE HAD FOUR INJURIES. 70% OF OUR RUNS ARE EMS INCIDENTS AND 30% ARE OTHER FIRES.

335
01:06:07.829 --> 01:06:19.341
HAZMAT PUBLIC SERVICE, NON-EMERGENCY CALLS, EMS CARDIAC ARREST OUTCOMES. >> THIS IS KIND OF JUST

336
01:06:19.341 --> 01:06:30.386
PUTTING A PLUG IN FOR OUR OUR MODEL OF RESPONDING WITH PARAMEDICS ON OUR ON OUR ENGINES. WE HAVE WE TRY TO HAVE ONE PARAMEDIC ON EACH TRUCK. WE'RE SEEING SOME SUCCESSFUL

337
01:06:30.386 --> 01:06:42.130
DATA HERE COMING BACK ON CARDIAC ARREST WHERE WE'RE GETTING RASK AND EKMAN PATIENT PATIENTS AND I'LL KIND OF GET INTO MORE DETAIL ON THAT BUT

338
01:06:42.130 --> 01:06:51.507
THIS REALLY RASK IS REALLY GETTING THEIR HEART BACK PUMPING AND AND SO WE'VE HAD 32 CARDIAC ARRESTS THE FIRST PART OF THIS YEAR TEN HAVE

339
01:06:51.507 --> 01:07:01.850
WE'VE GOTTEN RASK BACK ON ON SEEING HER IN THE AMBULANCE 11 UNFORTUNATELY THAT MAKE IT AND THEN WE HAD 11 THAT WERE TRANSPORTED FOR EITHER ROSTKER

340
01:07:01.850 --> 01:07:13.662
ECT MON AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WAS THERE AS YOU SEE IN THE SLIDE DECK MY DEFINITION IS THERE IT'S REALLY WHAT IT IS IS IT'S A

341
01:07:13.662 --> 01:07:29.011
IT'S A NEW NEWER MEDICAL TECHNIQUE THEY'RE USING WHERE IT'S REALLY SOMETHING THAT IS OUTSIDE THE BODY THAT HELPS PUMP YOUR HEART AND HELP YOUR LUNGS AND THEN THAT GIVES THE

342
01:07:29.011 --> 01:07:39.654
DOCTORS TIME TO GET IN THERE FIX WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND GIVE YOUR HEART TIME TO RECOVER AND YOUR HEART OR YOUR LUNGS TIME TO RECOVER AS WELL. >> IT'S REALLY PRETTY COOL TO

343
01:07:39.654 --> 01:07:50.299
WATCH HOW THEY DO IT AND IT'S IT'S REALLY TAKEN OFF HERE IN THE METRO AREA. IT'S NOT THEY DON'T DO THIS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BUT THEY'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY GETTING TO THE POINT NOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS IN THE FIELD

344
01:07:50.299 --> 01:08:03.946
AND SO WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH IT . SO OUR 2026 PERFORMANCE PIECE SET UP SO NINE ON ONE CALL

345
01:08:03.946 --> 01:08:14.923
PICK UP TO OUR ARRIVAL WE WANT TO BE AT 739 OR 8 DISTRICT TWO 934 AND DISTRICT SIX 1026 1134 90 PERCENTILE ON EFFECTIVE

346
01:08:14.923 --> 01:08:27.269
RESPONSE FORCE TO REACH 15 PERSONNEL ON SCENE YOU CAN SEE WE'RE AT 2322 REACH 16 IT JUMPS TO 44 MINUTES SO ON A

347
01:08:27.269 --> 01:08:38.346
LARGE FIRE IT'S GOING TO TAKE US A LONG TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CALL IN MUTUAL AID AND OTHER CITIES TO TO COME HELP US AND IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET HERE, DRIVE HERE, YOU KNOW, GET THE CALL AND ALL THAT SO OVERLAPPING CALLS YOU

348
01:08:38.346 --> 01:08:51.560
CAN SEE THAT STAT IS STILL UP FOR 2026 40% OF THE TIME AND CHIEF SEAL'S GOING TO TAKE OVER STAFFING PLAN. SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE 48 FULL

349
01:08:51.560 --> 01:09:01.837
TIME FIREFIGHTERS INCLUDES CAPTAINS, 22 ARE PARAMEDICS, 23 ARE EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS. WE HAVE THREE VACANCIES CURRENTLY FIVE ARE CURRENTLY OFF SHIFT FOR PAID PARENTAL LEAVE INJURED OR LIGHT DUTY.

350
01:09:01.837 --> 01:09:12.280
SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE 40 FIREFIGHTERS WORKING SHIFTS. WE ALSO HAVE 62 PART TIME FIREFIGHTERS WHICH ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR OPERATION AND

351
01:09:12.280 --> 01:09:20.188
ARE THE REASON WE CAN STAFF EVEN FOR RIGS ALL THE TIME AND FIVE RIGS SOME OF THE TIME WE HAVE NINE COMMAND STAFF AND FIVE FIREFIGHTER FIRE

352
01:09:20.188 --> 01:09:33.836
INSPECTORS 2027 ARE WILL PROPOSE WE WILL PROPOSE TO HIRE NINE FOR FILL THREE PLUS FILL IN THREE CURRENT VACANT POSITIONS.

353
01:09:33.836 --> 01:09:45.981
SO WE WANT TO PROMOTE THREE MORE TO BATTALION CHIEF'S POSITION. WE HAVE A SECOND BATTALION CHIEF ON DUTY IN THE CITY PROMOTE THREE TO CAPTAIN THAT DOESN'T ADD ANY NUMBERS TO OUR

354
01:09:45.981 --> 01:09:56.291
NUMBER AT JUST PROMOTES THREE FIREFIGHTERS TWO CAPTAINS AND PROVIDE SUPERVISION TO THAT FIFTH ENGINE WE HAVE 54 CAREER

355
01:09:56.291 --> 01:10:06.335
FIREFIGHTERS ON SHIFT FOR THREE SHIFTS 52 PART TIME. YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A STEADY ATTRITION ON THESE SLIDES FOR OUR PART TIME PEOPLE 12

356
01:10:06.335 --> 01:10:17.346
COMMAND STAFF WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAFF FIVE ENGINES CONSISTENTLY. WE CANNOT STAFF FIVE ENGINES CONSISTENTLY NOW AND THEN HOPEFULLY ALSO CONSTRUCT FIRE

357
01:10:17.346 --> 01:10:28.223
STATION TO SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING IN THE INTERIM IN TWO OF OUR STATIONS IS TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY HOUSING FOR OUR FIREFIGHTERS

358
01:10:28.223 --> 01:10:39.735
AT THE STATIONS THAT QUITE FRANKLY WERE BUILT FOR A JOB THAT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. SO THE BASE STATIONS FIVE

359
01:10:39.735 --> 01:10:51.747
IN STATION SIX WE ADDED THESE BUNKHOUSES AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR THE HELP THEY GAVE ME MAKING THIS HAPPEN AND THE PLANNING STAFF.

360
01:10:51.747 --> 01:11:02.825
SO WE'RE PROVIDING LIVING QUARTERS FOR THOSE CREWS AT STATION FIVE AND SIX. THESE STATIONS ARE IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND

361
01:11:02.825 --> 01:11:13.669
THAT PLAN LAYS OUT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS REPLACING THE STATIONS THAT DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE FACILITIES, REPLACING ONE, TWO FIRE STATIONS A GOOD INVESTMENT REPLACING ALL YOUR

362
01:11:13.669 --> 01:11:24.079
FIRE STATIONS TO MEET THE COMMUNITY NEEDS IS IS REALLY FORETHOUGHT AND PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.

363
01:11:24.079 --> 01:11:34.189
SO 2028 STAFFING WE WOULD PROPOSE IN 2028 AT LEAST RIGHT NOW NO NEW FULL TIME 24 HOUR SHIFT HIRES AS OUR SECOND GROUP OF 18 FIREFIGHTERS COME

364
01:11:34.189 --> 01:11:46.034
OFF A SAFER WE'D STILL HAVE 54 FULL TIME ON SHIFT. YOU CAN SEE THE ATTRITION RATE FOR A PART TIME GOES TO 43. WE WOULD PROPOSE TO HIRE TEN

365
01:11:46.034 --> 01:12:00.449
PART TIME FIREFIGHTERS IN IN 2028 BUT YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A COST ASSOCIATED TO HIRING PART TIME PEOPLE BESIDES THIS IS JUST GETTING THEM STOOD UP AND HIRED AND IN PLACE JUST FOR

366
01:12:00.449 --> 01:12:12.327
TEN I'M LOOKING AT HIRING TWO FIREFIGHTER FIRE INSPECTORS AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS AS YOU WELL KNOW, THE CITY CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. THERE CONTINUES TO BE ADDITIONS TO NOT ONLY OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT BUT THE

367
01:12:12.327 --> 01:12:23.739
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT AND CHANGES WITH IT THAT REQUIRE FIRE, FIRE INSPECTION AND DILIGENCE ON ENFORCING FIRE CODES WHICH HAVE A HUGE IMPACT

368
01:12:23.739 --> 01:12:34.882
ON LIFE SAFETY IN OUR BUILDINGS AND YOU CAN TELL BY THE FACT THAT IN MANY PLACES WE GO MANY HOMES WE GO INTO WHERE THEY DO NOT HAVE WORKING

369
01:12:34.882 --> 01:12:46.261
SMOKE DETECTORS OR THEY DO NOT HAVE GOOD FIRE SAFETY BEHAVIORS THAT THESE PEOPLE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO REMEDY THOSE THINGS AND WE'D

370
01:12:46.261 --> 01:12:56.171
HOPEFULLY OPEN STATION TWO IN MAY OR JUNE OF 2028 AND START PLANNING AND DESIGN FOR FIRE STATION FIVE.

371
01:12:56.171 --> 01:13:11.219
SO GOING FORWARD FROM 2028 29 TO 32, THE PLAN CURRENTLY IS TO HIRE SIX FULL TIME FIREFIGHTERS EACH YEAR AND IN 2020 2032 WE'D END UP WITH

372
01:13:11.219 --> 01:13:19.727
SEVEN EIGHT ON SHIFT IN CONJUNCTION WITH PART TIME FIREFIGHTERS. WE ARE NOT CERTAIN HOW WELL WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR PART TIME FIREFIGHTER AND STAFF. WE CONTINUE WE WILL CONTINUE

373
01:13:19.727 --> 01:13:30.372
TO MONITOR IT AND SEE HOW IT GOES AS YOU RECALL THE ORIGINAL PLAN THAT WAS PUT FORTH A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO

374
01:13:30.372 --> 01:13:40.916
NOW ALREADY THREE YEARS AGO NOW ALREADY WAS THAT WE'D END UP WITH 78 FULL TIME AND 75 PART TIME AND YOU CAN SEE OUR NUMBER FOR PART TIME IS

375
01:13:40.916 --> 01:13:51.493
DROPPING CONSIDERABLY AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE STRUGGLED WITH IS BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE BANDWIDTH IN OUR COMMAND STAFF TO PUT ON FULL

376
01:13:51.493 --> 01:14:02.470
TIME PEOPLE AND WE JUST CAN'T PUT ON FULL TIME PEOPLE AND PART TIME PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME. IT'S TWO DIFFERENT KIND OF SCHOOL SETTINGS AND THE

377
01:14:02.470 --> 01:14:16.117
PART TIME FOLKS ARE WILL TAKE PROBABLY 12 MONTHS OF SCHOOL TWO NIGHTS A WEEK ONCE WE HIRE THEM WITH THEIR CERTIFICATIONS . SO WE'RE THINKING ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS, 8 TO 12 MONTHS OF SCHOOL FOR THOSE PART TIME

378
01:14:16.117 --> 01:14:26.061
PEOPLE TO GIVE THEM THE SAME TRAINING. WE GIVE OUR FULL TIME PEOPLE IN AN EIGHT WEEK ACADEMY SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE STAFFING ON OUR PART TIME STAFFING AND MAY HAVE TO

379
01:14:26.061 --> 01:14:40.008
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON THAT AND WITH THAT WE CAN STAND FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU CHIEFS GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. QUESTIONS AS YOU COUNCILMEMBER CARTER AND COUNCILMEMBER

380
01:14:40.008 --> 01:14:51.286
DALLESSANDRO COUNCIL MAYOR FIRST THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO EVERY DAY. SO I HAVE 1 OR 2 QUICK QUESTIONS. SO FOR STATIONS THAT ARE FULLY

381
01:14:51.286 --> 01:15:00.963
STAFFED, DO WE SEE BETTER OUTCOMES SO BETTER PERCEPTION ,BETTER EFFECTIVE SO I THINK FOR I HAD ENOUGH FORETHOUGHT

382
01:15:00.963 --> 01:15:14.176
TO ADD SOME OF THESE NUMBERS. SO IN 2025 THE THE THE PIECE MAP TO ARRIVAL TIME OVERALL IN THE CITY FOR OUR 90TH

383
01:15:14.176 --> 01:15:26.755
PERCENTILE WAS 911 BUT IN THE DISTRICT AROUND FIRE STATION ONE THAT NUMBER WAS 822 SO ALL OF OUR NUMBERS IN THE OTHER DISTRICTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DISTRICT FIVE WERE IN THE

384
01:15:26.755 --> 01:15:37.065
EIGHT AREA EIGHT, EIGHT MINUTE AREA AND THE FIFTH DISTRICT WAS A LITTLE OVER NINE. IF YOU LOOK AT DISTRICT FIVE AROUND STATION FIVE AND OUR OWN STATION SIX FAR WEST SIDE

385
01:15:37.065 --> 01:15:49.845
OF TOWN HARD TO COVER FROM ANY OTHER DIRECTION EXCEPT COMING FROM THE EAST. SO IF IF ENGINE FIVE IS BUSY IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR ANOTHER RIG TO GET IN THERE TO COVER THAT AREA SO THAT TIME

386
01:15:49.845 --> 01:15:59.855
NATURALLY GOES UP GOES UP A BIT THE SAME RESULT WHAT HAPPENED WAS 2026 IN THAT THOSE NUMBERS IN THOSE AREAS WHERE STATIONS ARE STAFFED ARE

387
01:15:59.855 --> 01:16:13.735
CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN THE OVERALL 90TH PERCENTILE AND THOSE ARE 90TH PERCENTILE FOR THAT DISTRICT. IT'S NOT NOT AN AVERAGE. SO WE DO SEE AN IMPROVEMENT IN RESPONSE IN THE AREAS WHERE

388
01:16:13.735 --> 01:16:25.046
THE STATIONS ARE STAFFED. OKAY. AWESOME. THANK YOU. AND THEN FOR THOSE WATCHING AND PROBABLY FOR SOME OF US, CAN YOU EXPLAIN JUST THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS?

389
01:16:25.046 --> 01:16:35.690
SO LIKE WHAT DOES A BATTALION CHIEF DO? WHAT DOES A FIRE CAPTAIN DO AND THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM A FIREFIGHTER WHO'S JUST GOING OUT AND FIGHTING FIRES EVERY WELL, I WILL SAY THAT THEY ALL

390
01:16:35.690 --> 01:16:46.801
FIGHT FIRES. YEAH. FIREFIGHTERS ALL RIGHT ARE WHEN WE STARTED STARTED HIRING PEOPLE WE HIRED FIREFIGHTERS, FIREFIGHTER, PARAMEDICS, FIREFIGHTER EMT IS THE

391
01:16:46.801 --> 01:16:57.979
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PARAMEDIC AND EMT IS A LEVEL OF SKILL THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE TO OUR TO OUR CITIZENS OR CUSTOMERS ON THE MEDICAL SIDE AS

392
01:16:57.979 --> 01:17:10.425
FIREFIGHTERS THEY ALL PRETTY MUCH HAD SIMILAR OR THE SAME SKILL LEVEL WHEN THEY CAME IN. SO WHEN THEY RIDE THE TRUCK THEY CAN REALLY DO ANY POSITION ON THE TRUCK. THEY LEARN TO DRIVE. THEY THEY LEARNED TO FILL

393
01:17:10.425 --> 01:17:21.803
IN THE OTHER SPOTS WHERE THEY STRETCH HOSE LINES AND AND AND SO ALL THOSE THINGS ARE PART OF BEING A FIREFIGHTER, A FIRE CAPTAIN THEN IS IN CHARGE

394
01:17:21.803 --> 01:17:32.981
OF THAT CREW. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT POSITION IS VERY IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE IT'S IN THE ENVIRONMENT THINK OF YOURSELF GOING INTO THAT HOUSE AFTER

395
01:17:32.981 --> 01:17:44.192
THAT SMOKE AND GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THAT FIRE CAPTAIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE CREW MEMBERS EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN'T SEE THEM. ALL RIGHT. SO THEY HAVE TO THE RULE IS YOU EITHER HAVE TO BE THERE,

396
01:17:44.192 --> 01:17:55.237
SEE EACH OTHER, TOUCH EACH OTHER OR HEAR EACH OTHER. SO KEY IS ACTUALLY VITAL TO FIREFIGHTER LIFE SAFETY INSIDE A STRUCTURE FIRE. ON TOP OF THAT WHEN WE GO TO A

397
01:17:55.237 --> 01:18:06.348
MEDICAL THAT CAPTAIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OVERALL MANAGEMENT OF THAT MEDICAL SCENE WITH THE CREW. SO THEY HAVE A HIGHER LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY NOT ONLY FOR

398
01:18:06.348 --> 01:18:17.759
THE CREW MEMBERS BUT ALSO TO TO OUR CUSTOMERS. SO THAT'S WHY THAT POSITION IS IMPORTANT. ONE STEP UP FROM THAT IS A BATTALION CHIEF WHO THEN MANAGES THE STATIONS IN THE

399
01:18:17.759 --> 01:18:29.637
CITY FOR THAT DAY THEY'RE WORKING ALL RIGHT AND SO THAT BATTALION CHIEF HAS DUTIES OTHER THAN JUST GOING TO FIRE AS YOU SAW HIM RESPONDING TO A FIRE AND THE BATTALION CHIEF IN THIS CASE WAS THE FIRST

400
01:18:29.637 --> 01:18:38.145
CHIEF ON SCENE AND WAS ASSUMED COMMAND OF THE FIRE AND RAN THAT FIRE. THE THE BATTALION CHIEF ALSO GOES TO FULL ARRESTS, DRUG

401
01:18:38.145 --> 01:18:50.825
OVERDOSES AS ANY ANYTHING ON THE SCENE THAT MIGHT SEEM THAT WE NEED KIND OF OVERWATCH PLUS THAT BATTALION CHIEF THEN GOES

402
01:18:50.825 --> 01:19:00.568
AND PICKS UP RIDERS WHEN THE RIDER RIDES IN THE BACK OF THE AMBULANCE TO ASSIST THE PARAMEDICS ALL THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. SOMETIMES THAT'S ONE, SOMETIMES THAT'S TWO. WE'VE EVEN SENT THREE FIREFIGHTERS IN THE BACK OF AN

403
01:19:00.568 --> 01:19:12.881
AMBULANCE TO ASSIST ASSIST ON A ON A SIGNIFICANT TRAUMA CASE SO SO THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT ONE

404
01:19:12.881 --> 01:19:24.692
ISN'T ENOUGH BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE ONE SENT DOWN TO H.M.S. TO PICK UP RIDERS WELL THAT FALLS ON THE REST OF US TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO OUR RADIO AT ALL HOURS AND DAYS OF THE NIGHT AND PICK UP THOSE PICK UP

405
01:19:24.692 --> 01:19:35.903
THOSE CALLS. SO WE'RE WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF GROWING OUR SYSTEM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY WHICH WE ARE A WAYS AWAY FROM DOING IN WHAT I

406
01:19:35.903 --> 01:19:46.748
WOULD CONSIDER A SATISFACTORY WAY. >> YEAH. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THAT. I THINK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN THE FIREFIGHTING COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW WE DON'T TOTALLY

407
01:19:46.748 --> 01:19:56.157
UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THESE POSITIONS MEAN AND I THINK AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING MORE AND PROMOTING PEOPLE AND YOU KNOW, ADDING POSITIONS AT DIFFERENT LAYERS, I THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THOSE POSITIONS ARE.

408
01:19:56.157 --> 01:20:06.234
SO I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO TALK THROUGH THAT AND COUNCILMEMBER CARTER COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND THANKS FOR THE UPDATE FOLKS. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

409
01:20:06.234 --> 01:20:17.979
THE THE THE PICTURE THAT IS IT STILL BECOMES A LITTLE CHALLENGING FOR ME TO PAINT AND I THINK THAT THIS IS JUST A FUNCTION OF ME BEING A VISUAL PERSON AND NOT SEEING A VISUAL THAT DEFINES THIS FOR

410
01:20:17.979 --> 01:20:29.191
ME IS WHAT THE WHAT THE OUTCOME IS WHEN ALL OF THESE KIND OF TRANSITIONAL ELEMENTS ARE COMPLETE. AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS YOU

411
01:20:29.191 --> 01:20:39.567
HAVE SIX NEW FIRE STATIONS OR SIX RENOVATED FIRE STATIONS IN SOME CASE YOU HAVE X NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN EACH OF THOSE FIRE STATIONS THAT ARE FULL TIME STAFF.

412
01:20:39.567 --> 01:20:51.512
THERE'S Y NUMBER OF PART TIME PEOPLE SUPPORTING THAT STATION. I MEAN CAN YOU KIND OF PAINT THE PICTURE AND THEN MAYBE TELL US LIKE WHERE YOU WHERE NUMBER ONE YOU THINK WE ARE LIKE WHAT PERCENTAGE COMPLETE

413
01:20:51.512 --> 01:21:03.658
ARE WE ARE WE 30% COMPLETE AND OUR GOAL ARE 50% COMPLETE IN OUR GOAL ETC. AND THEN AND THEN WHEN IN THE THIRD PART OF THIS I GUESS IS HOW THE COMPLICATIONS YOU'RE NOW

414
01:21:03.658 --> 01:21:14.969
SEEING AROUND THESE PART TIME FOLKS MIGHT CHANGE WHAT YOU MIGHT NEED TO DO AS IT RELATES TO THAT PLAN. THAT'S A LOT TO ASK BUT I FEEL LIKE IF YOU COULD LIKE KIND OF PUT THAT IN BLOCKS LIKE

415
01:21:14.969 --> 01:21:25.480
THAT, I THINK IT WOULD HELP ME A LOT. APPRECIATE IT. I WILL TRY. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO STEER ME BACK ON THE COURSE VISUAL ON MY PAPER. WHY YOU DO IT OKAY.

416
01:21:25.480 --> 01:21:36.791
FIRST THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS IS THAT SEEING THE FUTURE IS DIFFICULT. SO THAT'S PART OF THE REASON I CALLED OUT THE FACT ABOUT PART

417
01:21:36.791 --> 01:21:47.802
TIME. BUT I'D ALSO CALL OUT THAT THE SAME CONCERN WITH FULL TIME IT'S GETTING HARDER TO FIND PEOPLE THAT WANT TO DO THIS JOB FULL TIME.

418
01:21:47.802 --> 01:21:59.113
>> SO WHAT DOES THE PICTURE LOOK LIKE WHEN WE'RE COMPLETELY BUILT OUT? I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU IT'S THIS AND WHEN WE GET THERE WE'VE REACHED THE

419
01:21:59.113 --> 01:22:10.358
GOAL. BUT I WOULD BE TELLING YOU THAT BASED UPON WHA THE CITY IS LIKE TODAY AND IN TEN YEARS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CITY'S GOING TO BE LIKE. ALL RIGHT.

420
01:22:10.358 --> 01:22:21.536
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT NEW DEVELOPMENTS ARE GOING TO BE. HAVE WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT NEW GREAT THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE CITY WE DON'T KNOW THOSE THINGS THE INCREASE IN POPULATION BECAUSE QUITE

421
01:22:21.536 --> 01:22:33.014
FRANKLY RIGHT THE THING THAT DRIVES FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONSES IN ANY COMMUNITY IS PEOPLE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PEOPLE HERE WE WOULDN'T HAVE A FIRE DEPARTMENT HERE RIGHT. OKAY.

422
01:22:33.014 --> 01:22:44.526
JUST MAKES SENSE, RIGHT? SO AS THE POPULATION INCREASES THE MORE CALLS WE'RE GOING TO GET. ALL RIGHT. AS OUR DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES AND AS THE AGE CHANGES, THE MORE CALLS WE'RE GOING TO GET.

423
01:22:44.526 --> 01:22:55.436
SO WHAT I'LL TELL YOU IS IS THAT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW THE PLAN HAD BEEN THAT 78 AND 75 I AM NOT SURE IF WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE 75 ON THE PART TIME

424
01:22:55.436 --> 01:23:07.748
SIDE AND THAT MAY ADJUST THE 78 IT MAY ADJUST IT UP. THE OTHER PIECE I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS IS THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD BUILDINGS AND THE BUILDINGS ARE BIGGER

425
01:23:07.748 --> 01:23:18.259
D THE DENSITY IS GREATER WHEN YOU PACK MORE PEOPLE INTO A TIGHTER AREA, THE DANGER LEVEL GOES UP WHEN WE HAVE A FIRE AND THE INCREASE DEMAND

426
01:23:18.259 --> 01:23:29.637
ON STAFFING IS COMMENSURATE. WE HAD A RECENT APARTMENT FIRE AT AN APARTMENT BUILDING THAT HAPPENED DURING THE DAY AND I

427
01:23:29.637 --> 01:23:41.449
LOVE TO TELL PEOPLE THAT I LIVE BY LUCK. I WISH I LIVED BY SKILL BUT I DON'T. I LIVE BY LUCK. THIS HAPPENED ON A MONDAY MORNING AND THAT MONDAY

428
01:23:41.449 --> 01:23:52.293
MORNING WE HAPPENED TO BE HAVING AN OFFICER'S STAFF MEETING SO I HAD A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT WERE ON TRUCKS THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE NORMALLY HAD AND WE WERE TAKING PEOPLE

429
01:23:52.293 --> 01:24:03.737
OFF BALCONIES VIA LADDERS AND WINDOWS VIA LADDERS AND MULTIPLE HOSE LINES LAID. I MEAN IT WENT THE FIRE WENT EXTREMELY WELL. I'VE TOLD OTHER PEOPLE THIS

430
01:24:03.737 --> 01:24:14.148
THAT 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO THAT SAME FIRE WE DO WE DO WE DID NOT SAVE THE BUILDING. WE LOST THE ENTIRE THIRD FLOOR. AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS

431
01:24:14.148 --> 01:24:25.827
IS IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN US 5 TO 8 ADDITIONAL MINUTES JUST TO GET TRUCKS OUT THE DOOR. OKAY. BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE PEOPLE IN THE STATIONS. SO THIS IS SOMETHING OR IF WE DID HAVE PEOPLE IN THE

432
01:24:25.827 --> 01:24:37.038
STATIONS THEY WEREN'T ENOUGH AND CHIEFS WERE FILLING IN ON THE SPOTS. SO I GUESS FOR A LONG TERM PICTURE FOR YOU THAT PICTURE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO CHANGE

433
01:24:37.038 --> 01:24:47.181
AND MORPH AS THE CITY DOES. THE WAY I SEE IT RIGHT NOW, THE 78 AND 75 WE'D BE IN PRETTY GOOD SPOT AND WE'D BE ABLE TO STAFF SIX STATIONS 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A

434
01:24:47.181 --> 01:24:58.659
WEEK AND THAT'S LIKE I SAID PROVIDING THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY ANY ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES THAT THAT MAKES SENSE. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

435
01:24:58.659 --> 01:25:12.173
SO SO IF IF THAT PLAN HOLDS WE'RE ABOUT 50% ON STAFFING BECAUSE WE HAVE 40 PEOPLE NOW PLUS OR MINUS THE FOLKS THAT ARE ON HOLIDAY OR PTO OR WHATEVER AND WE WANT TO GET TO THAT 78 A SEAT RUN UP TO 80,

436
01:25:12.173 --> 01:25:21.782
RIGHT? SO WE'RE APPROXIMATELY 50. WE HAVE TWO NEW FIRE STATIONS THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE FOUR AND WE HAVE SYSTEMS IN PLACE FOR THE OTHERS. WE'VE GOT A CIP PLAN FOR TWO

437
01:25:21.782 --> 01:25:32.093
OF THEM AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO RENOVATE NUMBER ONE I THINK. RIGHT. SO WE HAVE THAT PLAN TO IF IF THAT I WOULD ASSUME THAT FIVE

438
01:25:32.093 --> 01:25:43.905
YEARS FROM NOW ASSUMING WE GET THERE WE WOULD WE WOULD BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND WHAT WE WOULDN'T BE ASKING FOR CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IS ANOTHER FIRE STATION AM I RIGHT ABOUT

439
01:25:43.905 --> 01:25:53.681
THAT? AM I WRONG ABOUT THAT? I JUST WANT TO KIND OF HAVE A SENSE FOR WE BELIEVE THE SIX FIRE STATIONS AND WHERE THEY'RE CURRENTLY LOCATED IS ADEQUATE. OKAY.

440
01:25:53.681 --> 01:26:04.826
>> AND WE'RE BUILDING THEM TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT YOU'RE CORRECT CONCEPTUALIZING, RIGHT? CORRECT. OKAY. CORRECT. OKAY. SO THERE WAS THAT ONE TIME WHERE THEY HAD ACTUALLY PROGRAMED EIGHT FIRE STATIONS

441
01:26:04.826 --> 01:26:16.537
FOR THE CITY AND WE'VE COME BACK ON SIX AND WE VERIFIED THAT SIX WITH THE CITY GATE STUDY THAT THEY CAME IN AND DID THE STANDARD A COVER SO YOU GUYS DIDN'T JUST HAVE TO

442
01:26:16.537 --> 01:26:25.012
BELIEVE ME BUT THERE WAS SOMEBODY ELSE TO TELL YOU THAT SIX WAS ENOUGH AND THEY WERE IN THE RIGHT SPOT SO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY THAT'S MEMORY REVISE

443
01:26:25.012 --> 01:26:35.957
JUST TO ADD MORE TO COME. SO IF THE CITY DEVELOPS LET'S SAY WE'VE GOT 250,000 PEOPLE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE TRAFFIC OUT THERE.

444
01:26:35.957 --> 01:26:47.935
THERE'S POTENTIALLY THE SET UP THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW THE SIX STATIONS WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED THAT WOULD THAT BE SUFFICIENT TO GET TO PLACES TAKING THE EXTRA TRAFFIC INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE SIX STATIONS

445
01:26:47.935 --> 01:26:59.279
WOULD STILL BE ADEQUATE? HOWEVER, WE MIGHT NEED TO ADD PEOPLE INTO THOSE SIX STATIONS. SO INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING SIX ENGINE STAFF WE MIGHT HAVE SIX ENGINES AND TWO LADDERS

446
01:26:59.279 --> 01:27:11.492
STAFFED. ALL RIGHT, THAT'S GOOD. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS. LET'S REMEMBER MOMENT THANK YOU MAYOR.

447
01:27:11.492 --> 01:27:23.637
I'LL START OFF BY SAYING THAT YOU KNOW THERE'S CERTAINLY THE REALITY OF THE RISK. I THINK YOU'VE REALLY LAID THAT OUT HERE AND I THINK THE VIDEO IS IS QUITE I MIGHT SAY QUITE DAMNING IF YOU LOOK AT THAT. I MEAN YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO

448
01:27:23.637 --> 01:27:34.649
AND THEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS BEHIND THAT. I THINK THAT THAT REALLY DOES TELL THE THE STORY OF THE RISK THAT WE HAVE OUR SITUATION THAT WE KIND OF AS WE MOVE FORWARD. SO THERE'S NO QUESTION IN MY

449
01:27:34.649 --> 01:27:46.093
MIND THERE IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE. SO YOU ALSO HAVE RAISED THE YOU KNOW, THE STAFFING COMPONENTS OF THIS. IT REALLY DOESN'T SOUND LIKE

450
01:27:46.093 --> 01:27:57.171
THIS THIS PARTICULAR WAY IT'S LAID OUT REALLY DOES SOLVE THE STAFFING PROBLEM. YOU'VE KIND OF YOU KNOW, PUSHED THAT OUT THERE AND KIND OF SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE STILL EVEN IF WE GO DOWN THIS DOWN

451
01:27:57.171 --> 01:28:09.416
THIS DIRECTION ARE GOING TO PROBABLY HAVE ADDITIONAL ISSUES TRYING TO STAFF UP ALREADY IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE YOU KNOW, ONLY IF YOU TRY TO GET ME TO COMMIT TO WHAT THE

452
01:28:09.416 --> 01:28:20.294
FUTURE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT. FIVE YEARS AGO I COULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU WE'D BE STANDING HERE TODAY SO SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I LOOK TO THE CITY MANAGER AND YOU KNOW, WOW,

453
01:28:20.294 --> 01:28:31.772
THIS IS REALLY JUST THIS AS IT IS WITH ALL THOSE OTHER QUESTIONS NOT REALLY ANSWERED OR IN A SENSE ANSWERED BECAUSE WE KNOW THE RISK. YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT WHAT

454
01:28:31.772 --> 01:28:45.520
WE'RE COMMITTING TO DOING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, 2032 AND WHAT THAT THAT'S GOING TO MEAN FOR OUR TAXPAYERS AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY THAT.

455
01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:56.864
YOU KNOW, IS THIS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE THAT WE HAVE? WHAT OTHER PRIORITY IS ARE OUT THERE? I JUST I'M VERY CONCERNED, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER OF PRIORITIES AND

456
01:28:56.864 --> 01:29:07.074
THINGS THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT AND I JUST I LOOK AT THIS THIS IS A REAL COMMITMENT AND YOU KNOW, IN SOME WAYS IT DOESN'T REALLY SOLVE ALL OF OUR ISSUES AND WE'VE DONE THIS WITH THE SAFER GRANT AND THAT KIND OF THING.

457
01:29:07.074 --> 01:29:17.185
BUT AS I LOOK AT JUST THIS BY ITSELF AND THEN THE OTHER ITEMS WE WANT TO LAYER ON TOP OF THAT WHILE I KIND OF GET A LITTLE BIT FRIGHTENED. SO MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS

458
01:29:17.185 --> 01:29:28.129
COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S ADVANTAGEOUS IS THAT THE THE COUNCIL HAS DEFINED SOME PRETTY CLEAR PRIORITIES. ESTABLISHING A FULL TIME FIRE

459
01:29:28.129 --> 01:29:41.275
DEPARTMENT IS IS CERTAINLY ON THAT LIST IF NOT AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST AT THE COUNCIL'S RETREAT WITHIN THE LAST 30 OR 45 DAYS. ONE OF THE PRIMARY TAKEAWAYS WE HEARD IS CITY STAFF WAS TO

460
01:29:41.275 --> 01:29:52.253
FINISH THE INITIATIVES THAT THE COUNCIL HAS STARTED. SO AGAIN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OF BUILDING OUT THIS FULL TIME FIRE DEPARTMENT BEING A MAJOR PRIORITY FOR THE COUNCIL, WE ARE PLANNING

461
01:29:52.253 --> 01:30:02.196
BUDGETS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO DELIVER ON THAT EXPECTATION BUT ALSO COGNIZANT OF THE ECONOMIC PRESSURES FACED BY RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES

462
01:30:02.196 --> 01:30:13.808
IN OUR COMMUNITY AND LOOKING TO BRING FORWARD BUDGETS THAT CONTINUE TO ESTABLISH THE PRIORITIES SET BY THE COUNCIL BUT ARE ALSO COGNIZANT OF THAT FISCAL REALITY AS WELL.

463
01:30:13.808 --> 01:30:24.551
SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK TO FUND THOSE PRIORITIES BUT ALSO USE TOOLS LIKE OUR PRIORITY BASED BUDGETING TO ALLOCATE THOSE RESOURCES IN THE MOST

464
01:30:24.551 --> 01:30:39.633
EFFICIENT MANNER POSSIBLE. LOOK THE COMMENTS COUNCIL WELL THANK YOU. THANKS FOR THE UPDATE. THANKS FOR THE WORK THAT YOU

465
01:30:39.633 --> 01:30:51.044
DO. IF YOU COULD SHARE OUR THANKS WITH THE REST OF YOUR STAFF AND EVERYONE WE'RE IN THE BLUE FOR THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON. WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT AND WILL. IT'S A CHALLENGE I KNOW AND IT'S A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYBODY

466
01:30:51.044 --> 01:31:02.523
AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVING FORWARD IS AS MR. WALKER SAID, WE'RE GOING GET THE WORK DONE ON THIS AND SEE WHERE WE END UP. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE AND YOU'RE MISSING A HECK OF A LIGHTNING SHOW BEHIND

467
01:31:02.523 --> 01:31:15.469
YOU. IT IS HARD TO GET IT REALLY. CAN YOU BATTLE TO GET HOME? YEAH. THE HEIGHT OF THE THANK YOU GENTLEMEN COUNCIL NEXT ON OUR

468

470
01:31:39.260 --> 01:31:48.769

471

477
01:32:58.638 --> 01:33:09.817
WAS ALLOCATED BY THE STATE JUST TO LET YOU KNOW JUNE 1ST WE'LL ALSO HEAR FROM OUR STATE LOBBYIST LETTING YOU KNOW HOW THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION ENDED, HOW BLOOMINGTON'S LEGISLATIVE

478
01:33:09.817 --> 01:33:20.060
AGENDA FARED WHICH I WOULD SAY WE DID VERY WELL IN THE CONTEXT OF A HISTORICALLY TIGHT LEGISLATURE. SO WE'LL HEAR A FULLER REPORT ON JUNE THE 1ST. AND THE ONLY OTHER THING I WANTED TO ADD IN LIGHT OF THE

479
01:33:20.060 --> 01:33:29.402
FIRE PRESENTATION WE HEARD TONIGHT SO A VERY NICE NOTE THAT CAME THROUGH FROM ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS. HE AND HIS ADULT SON TOURED LET'S SEE FIRE STATION THREE RECENTLY.

480
01:33:29.402 --> 01:33:43.384
HIS ADULT SON EXPERIENCES AUTISM EPILEPSY AND SOME RESPIRATORY CHALLENGES. THIS RESIDENT TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE OUR FIRE LEADERSHIP THAT

481
01:33:43.384 --> 01:33:54.595
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST TOURS HE HAS EVER EXPERIENCED REALLY SHARED HIS APPRECIATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT'S CONSIDERATION OF HIS SON AND THE EXPERIENCE THEY PROVIDED WITH HIM. SO JUST IN THE CONTEXT OF THE

482
01:33:54.595 --> 01:34:06.507
SERVICE THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS DO, I WANTED TO SHARE AND RECOGNIZE THEIR OUTSTANDING WORK AND THE IMPACT THAT OUR EMPLOYEES CONTINUE TO HAVE ON OUR FAMILIES IN BLOOMINGTON. SO THANK YOU. IT'S VERY COOL AND VERY NICE

01:34:06.507 --> 01:34:16.684
TO HEAR. THANK YOU. COUNSEL ANYTHING TO ADD THE SEATING CLOSE MEMBER ALESSANDRA I JUST HAD A QUICK FOLLOW UP FROM OUR OUR CONVERSATION ON ON THE PMP.

484
01:34:16.684 --> 01:34:28.729
I FEEL LIKE AT ONE POINT WE WERE GOING TO GET AN UPDATE AND MAYBE IT WON'T COME UNTIL THE FALL ABOUT THE RETAINING WALLS AND LIKE WHETHER WE WERE GOING TO MAYBE TRY TO GET RID OF SOME OF THEM OR LIKE WHAT

485
01:34:28.729 --> 01:34:40.007
WAS OUR PLAN FOR THEM. SO WE OBVIOUSLY NOW HAVE INCORPORATED RETAINING WALLS STUFF INTO THE PUMP. CAN WE JUST GET AN UPDATE? I DON'T KNOW IF THE ASSESSOR MOMENT IS COMPLETE YET OR IF

486
01:34:40.007 --> 01:34:50.317
OR IF ANYTHING BUT IF WE COULD GET THAT I THINK THAT WAS AN ACT FOLLOW UP ITEM FROM A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. DULY NOTED. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER RIVAS.

487
01:34:50.317 --> 01:35:02.062

488
01:35:02.062 --> 01:35:13.440
OF SAW IT THIS MORNING. BUT THE IDEA OF A STEP TO LOOK AT THE DETAILS I JUST TOOK A GLANCE AT IT. SO MR. WALKER ANYTHING I CAN QUICKLY SHARE THAT OUR STAFF ARE CONTINUING TO INVESTIGATE THAT AND DON'T HAVE A FINAL

489
01:35:13.440 --> 01:35:23.684
