Yeah, lot of mean, I like it started on this very casual. Corp's Committee on this day of FEBRUARY. 4. Tonight's agendas like discussion amongst members too, lay out our expectations for the particularly hosting meetings outside of this room and throughout the city. If you served with parks, you know, I'm a big fan of getting out of the ccb. It's not an easy place for people access and get to. So I much have the ability to take it to the actual municipal corporations and perhaps let them see those facilities that their tax dollars help support fund. As well as any particular agenda items that would like to see discussed from our municipal corporations throughout the year, particularly I recall in
last year's budget several of you commented about Health and Hospital corporation and warning them to come back before us to discuss the or break down their budget. We have a bit more in depth conversations and then. The 3rd thing that I have. Unless something imminent should happen we're going to be canceling JULY's committee meeting. As for you guys to have the summer. So if we can make sure that all will corporations know and that's expect ation again, if some sort of fiscal matter happens, that they absolutely have to have us meat, then we will do that. So. First question to our attorney or legal counsel.
What are the rules with regards to hosting meetings outside of the building? I believe the state law changed last year. So what does that look like? This a complicated. Have to do Listen in to minutes. And she knows they Now it's the only change was for if you aren't entity in a government facility that is meeting in the normal space that the legislative body needs. It. You have you have to have them take something so are there always tapes and nothing really changed for you guys most indoor streamed live. So nothing really changed for you all. Ok, so you can have them wherever usually channel 16 is pretty as they're not 5 other things going on. If there's 2 other
things like today, there's 2 things going on stream live. What the other will be taped in later. Sometimes of on the 2 different channels. Don't know where you see that other channel. I've never seen this ticket but they'll they'll stream other as long as the tape and it can be seen live or taped. That's all that matters. And like Channel 16 is pretty good at following the city. Wherever parks goes all over. Parks Committee goes all over. So. It's and it's a place where I as I would go, I think I told somebody I go test it out ahead of time couple times when parks board met when I was it. A gym where the the The coast Alaska. The acoustics were bad. And so it was hard just to hear across the room. Yeah, I think we had
that and I think we had it when the park Rangers. That was a tough one. And it's so I would do that just to test it out Make sure. But most of the green and gold most of that Muni court. Streamed. So they have a meeting rooms. If you got a capital improvement board, they got where they normally meet there in that that we get to make arrangements or, you know, I don't know where helping hospital meat, but they have mediaroom out. No big So I suppose on that conversation. I'd like for our MARCH meeting to go ahead and what we want to go. How about we work with our midst corporations and see who's ready to host the library, c I d Airport authority. Indio. And Health and Hospitals Corporation. Leslie Rihanna
say some. Thank you, MISTER Chair. We had a discussion on that. So if you want to or out, we can discuss to move. It said, do you have them with you? You know, Cfb in library is MARCH over at the cfpb. Okay. Months, I can't remember off the top of my head, but that was the first that I remember us discussing that you wanted to have see, Abby, but if you want to change and fund, can you e-mail that to the committee? So they're aware of where we're going to be meeting at and case that part of its thing care another item is to ask our border point needs specific to those municipal corporations to attend those meetings. And be prepared to give a 5 minute briefing about things have been going on and the
work that they've been doing. Committee members comments on that. Just briefly, thank you, MISTER Chair. I agree with that and support that entirely. I also wonder I have no problems with any current board appointees that I can think of right now. But when and if we get vacancies knows, we tend to have just like one person come before us and not really competitive process for filling board vacancies. And that's partially just timing things like that. But I would just love to see some of that. The committee could weigh in a little bit more publicly and try to figure out like what role are we trying to fill with a vacancy, etc. What if that comes up was about that. Thank you. Council Gibson. Well, thank you, MR. Chair and I like the idea going out to our municipal corporations and just to understand more about where they are and how
things are progressing. I really like the idea about going the library. I would love hope the. They've made some commitments about that. These threes to libraries. I'm hoping that I can get a timeline on that. You it. So does that to be very interesting. So I would just encourage and thank Okay. Thank you. Would just say I talked to Director Pierce today of Indigo and told her that we were gonna have this meeting and that's what we're going talk about she they have a board room at their location on 38th and post would love to have us there. And they could also even if we don't have to go live, we could even take a meeting on a bus. We do a bus tour, but we can also take a meeting on a bus which might be an interesting thing, even if it's us, like a seated bus
to somewhere the. The issue is once people are on the cake, well, we do publish it to the people to sup 8. No, it ceded a tour of his Stewart buildings and we. It was a lot life that we had buses and we had cars and we had to stop at a certain time and say we're going to be here. If you want to participate in this tour of his door. Buildings, you can get on the bus driving by. It was a lot. think we did that. We might get that. I it be really cool if we had a bus tour of where blue line is going just as counselors. I think that would be anything. I also want to suggest it. We do a library because we now have 6 sensory certified libraries in Indianapolis, which is amazing. APRIL is Autism acceptance month and it would
be kind of need to highlight with the Lebanese have done in APRIL, along with that said, just throwing that out there. Duly noted. Thank you. You make a note of that mall discuss that the other come, he said I have for discussion or agenda items. So if you walked in a bit later. Last year in budget season, it was mentioned multiple times that you guys had a wish to have health and hospital corporation came before us and have their different experts come to break down their budget a little bit more for deeper dive. Are there any other items? So we'll make sure that when we schedule health and hospitals Corporation. Basically need to bring all their budget teams with them on that. I think it would be nice if like an organization helping House Corp, which is has so many
things underneath that had to make masking has become explain. Had somebody from the health department explain almost going to break down their sectors. For us because we look at the budget as one big lump. But it's really as multiple county might agencies that I think would be kind of good. The Council Brown. Thank you, MISTER Thank you. Guys are bound. Seen I think on that same point. It strikes me that municipal corporations are just one way for the population to administer still public service. And so. For example, like as he appears, I think, did a really great job of trying to talk to those of us who had significant bus routes and I districts about the fare increases and try to get our input and way an early on. And that said, I just wish I feel
like. As elected officials, we should kind of try to get our arms around the uncomfortable conversations about that. I would have loved if we could have had public discussion about that as a committee. Whether or not the city is going to a cough up the money to to fill gap Atlanta because it's cetera. But it just I just got a little disappointed that any go got left kind of holding the bag about that whole fare increase when really it's just a city services just happens to be at corporation. So I don't have operational as that. Maybe it's as we take a tour. It's like, ok, what are some difficult conversations of what your funding situation just have more of a public conversation about that? But yeah, I've been trying to rig wreck my brain about how to how we could have got ahead of that. Thanks.
MR. CHAIRMAN, so cast LeBron. This is where I will have the actual question and anybody can answer this question. For me. If that was indeed goes. Process to increase. Is it our responsibility to help engage the community? Because that was one of the things that I encourage them to do is make sure that they and carriages, specifically my community and especially when they was breaking down and given the ratio of, you know, black women riding versus black mothers. And what you know, when I was given at racial, I wanted to make sure that they were engaging the community and was partnering with Pete 30 even coming to when my church did a
community resource fair and invited him out to that, that. Come into the community. Our Eastside Alliance meeting. So I guess for me and I'm all about. Controlling the narrative. So my question is, is that a responsibility as us as a municipal Corporation committee? To engage the community are does that fall back on in the go with the community engagement? Well, I guess I would say, I think for the fee increase, right? I mean, it was all it was their decision to be made and they had a multitude of public meetings and hearings. I think where it was more upon us was. Educating the community and letting him know these. These are the outlets, right. And if a particular counselor was
opposed to it, they could be there. But I think certainly to with issues ever rise to the occasion. Getting a bit of a shout out such as the Leap Project and what's going on. Creek. The chair that committee's having a hearing and giving the public that opportunity to weigh in a bit more. Right. So I think we could have done that, too. If there was that sentiment, I don't believe personally during the entire process that I don't think I ever heard from one constituent on the fare increase. You know, I saw things on social media, but nobody ever actually reached out an email or text or anything of that nature. Are there any other agenda items that, well, actually, I'm gonna bring it to you. Did you want to say something or have a question? Budget? And what not? And those presentations with those with those many course be talking about that on their various
months or at actual budget presentation themselves. Provided that more detail. I think actually council brown broke it down for health and hospitals corporation. I think it was a deeper dive into their different. There MAY be a budget component, but it wasn't more focus on the budget as much as it was there. Go ahead. When we cip no segment the stadium, the same section of our state and saving more breaking down each organization because proved one or We MAY everything well inside. So when we get to SEPTEMBER and their and their pressure introduced, that would be our staff, our status quo. But the part diving more in depth about their operations or would not that be done during
the probe. The prior meetings throughout the year. Okay. That was question. Accounts around. Thank you, MR. So what you say? Do the breakdown. I know going to the but skate. Breakdown is going to be split up him. Several meetings, not just one. And the reason why acts that because I've been on the other side of the fence and it's a long process to hear the breakdown from Hhc. I am yes, they do have the long-term facility. They do have Eskenazi. And so I just want to make sure that when we asked them to do that, which I do think it makes sense to break Instead, ages doing it, not being together, but I just want to make sure we know what
we're getting into and it MAY take hours. I was seeing the Yes, Larry. I think the idea was have a pre committee meeting where we sort of break things up. Maybe you learn more. You can ask questions ahead of time. You MAY get those answers offline or they MAY be prepared during their budget presentations to answer those hhc in my opinion, could have a whole budget hearing just by itself and said we've got they've got to share with 2 others, one or 2 others council graves. Thank Keith Grace District on the side. I absolutely understand what my colleagues are saying. I do think that that's a great I mean, like over the next few months versus during budget season and it doesn't have to be specific, too. This budget that's going to be outlined later this year. But just kind
of the structure. These are some of the things that thinking about these are some of things that we want to accomplish in. This is why this is what we did last year. Things like that. I think go a long way educating our community as well as some of our colleagues. So I can definitely visualize that being meaningful and helpful. Part of our next few months. No, it's okay. It is MAY be thinking like a schoolgirl or something one agenda item I think should be up for discussion. Indy go. We. Briefly touched on this last year. The updated bus stops. And funding I think there was some questions with regards to one how many bus stop. So we have how many of them been updated? How still don't have sidewalks or benches or anything. There was I know. I think the east side got an investment. This year
late last year. Maybe. So if they could just speak to I think they said that there. They were going deny, say something about. They were. They were good. They were doing a study or something. They're analyzing it. its open conversation. Come on. I know for me. The last 2 years. Wait a second street going buy now they're street going the way to know, Washington Street only because there is businesses that is going well. East is creating more be and homes there. Bill. German Church road. So it only makes sense if we get these 2 buses going to and our watch mystery where there's our properties that I would think you would freeze the rights to and from
my understanding, they only. In every 3 years that's in mind to that's reflective safe. And start looking MAY Because it doesn't make sense reviewing these increases that infrastructure and businesses. Why are we least looking at at least a year, maybe a year had way, every 3 to 5 years to that. Any other agenda items? Council brown, time he went on that same point is you mentioned earlier, MR. CHAIRMAN all say on the mikes you get credit. You volunteer for the Snow buddies program and help to several neighbors much. Thank you for that. I was thinking about whether it could make sense for to go to be plugged in with that because are many bus stops in my neighborhood that did not get plowed at all inside. Saw people standing out in the
street when for the bout. So but it would be pretty unreasonable as any got a plow every single sidewalk for every single bus stop. So the c I d. Probably would be time for him to tell us what's going on with this money that we're stadium, construction design. That could be an agenda item for them. By the time they come around. All right. Anything else? Alright committee members. So I've got. Council Thanks, MR. I just want to say thank you for this type of leadership excellent. I think this is what we. What we should be doing. And appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate Just want us to be a little bit more. The public has a lot of questions and hear things. And I think the more transparent and the more information give
them, the better. Alright colleagues, we are adjourned for the evening. Have a good
