AND IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED, ON YOUR SPEAKER FORMS, THERE'S A SPOT THERE THAT SAYS IF YOU ARE REPRESENTING AN ORGANIZATION. OKAY, I'M GOING TO RAISE MY LAWSUIT BY $1,000. EVERY TIME YOU DO THAT, WE'LL SEE WHAT THE JUDGE SAYS. I'M GOING TO AMEND MY LAWSUIT. THE LAWSUIT I'M DOING FOR YOU GUYS KICKING ME OUT OF A PUBLIC PARK AGAINST MY WILL AT THE JUNETEENTH EVENT LAST YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE A JURY TRIAL, TOO, BY THE WAY. AND NOW, SINCE OUR TIMES ARE ALL CUT BY TWO THIRDS, THAT OF YOUR, NEED FOR EFFICIENCY, I'M WONDERING, ARE YOU GOING TO LIK, RESIGN? NOT RESIGN? I'M SORRY, BUT REDUCE YOUR HOURS AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE GETTING PAID, YOU GUYS SHOULD ALL REDUCE YOUR HOURS WORKING AT YOUR OTHER JOBS SO YOU CAN SPEND MORE TIME WORKING ON CITY BUSINESS. THE ABYSMAL TIMMERMAN PARK MASTER PLAN WAS A CASE IN POINT. MY GOSH, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW HORRIBLE THAT WAS. NORTH WAS GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, YOU LEFT OUT 3/5 OF THE PARK, SPELLED THE NAME OF THE WRONG OF THE PARK WRONG. SO I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO DO A MASTER PARKS PLAN FOR THAT SPACE. SOMETHING WORTHY OF OUR CITIZENS. I'VE GOT A POOL THERE. NEIGHBORHOOD POOL LIKE ELGIN, A HALF SIZE SEMI-PRO PRO SOCCER TEAM, OR. EXCUSE ME, SOCCER FIELD. I HAVE PICKLEBALL COURTS THERE, PARKING ALL OVER THE PLACE NORTH AND SOUTH OF RING ROAD THERE, INCLUDING A BASEBALL TRAINING FACILITY THERE TOO. AND PARKING POOLS, A LITTLE SPLASH PAD. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WE JUST AUTHORIZED, LIKE $200 MILLION OF BORROWING. WE HAVE 80 MILLION IN THE BANK, AND WE CAN'T EVEN PUT IN A DOG RUN. YOU GUYS CAN'T EVEN PUT IN A DISC GOLF COURSE. AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A PARKS COMMITTEE. YOU'VE DONE NOTHING TO GET US WORKING OVER THERE AT BENNY FISHER PARK. YOU GREW UP AT THAT PARK. THEY CAN'T EVEN OPEN THE BATHROOM. THE VANDALISM IS SO BAD. OKAY, SO SOME OTHER ITEMS ON HERE NAMING THINGS. MELGEN, YOU CAN USE THE WORD MELGEN FOR THE EAST DEVELOPMENT ONE IF YOU WANT. MELGEN PARK, I'D LIKE TO NAME THE BOCCE COURTS AFTER TOM BOLT. ONCE WE ONCE WE FINISH THEM OUT AND MAKE THEM NICE LIKE THEY USED TO BE BEFORE YOU GUYS RUINED THEM, THEN I WANT TO CALL IT THE TOM BOLT BOCCE COURTS BECAUSE HE HELPED GET THOSE IN. I'D LIKE TO
[00:05:01]
CALL MINOR DOWNS WILLIE NELSON, MINOR DOWNS TO NAME IT AFTER WILLIE NELSON. I USED TO PLAY AT HIS RESTAURANT AT THE COUNTRY CLUB. THAT WAS PRETTY AMAZING FOOD SPREAD. I GUARANTEE YOU, LET'S SEE, WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE HERE BEFORE I RUN OUT OF TIME? I KNOW OUR TIME IS SO VALUABLE.THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE HERE. IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG MEETING. OKAY YES. WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM, THE GUY WHO DID THE FIVE K. THAT WAS A GOOD EVENT. I LIKE THAT, BUT LET'S MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT PERMANENT. LET'S MAKE THE STAKES PERMANENT. LET'S HAVE A MAP ON THE WALL THAT SHOWS THE TRAILS AND THE DISTANCES. LET'S SHOW THE OTHER TRAILS THAT ARE IN MY PARKS PLAN. YOU KNOW, I DID A 50 PAGE PARKS PLAN. I HAD TRAILS ALL OVER THE CITY. YOU GUYS CAN'T SEEM TO EVEN READ IT.
ANYWAY, THIS GENTLEMAN SOUNDS LIKE HE'S INTERESTED TO. DO YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE PEOPLE? THEY COME FOR ONE DAY AND THEN THEY'RE GONE. WE NEED THINGS THAT KEEP THAT HAVE SOME PERMANENCE HERE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ONE THING IS, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING TO THE HEAVY COMMERCIAL ZONING, THAT'S KIND OF A RUSE IN A WAY, SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT FOR DIESEL PUMPS. YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION IS A GREAT IDEA. WHAT TOOK SO LONG? SOMEDAY WE'RE GOING TO TRANSLATE THIS INTO SPANISH. WON'T THAT BE AN AMAZING THING FOR YOU PEOPLE? ESPECIALLY THAT THAT, LIKE SPANISH. TODOS LOS PARQUES S VACIOS. POR QUÉ? ALL OUR PARKS ARE EMPTY. WHY DO YOU KNOW? I KNOW THREE HISPANIC FAMILIES. IF THEY ALL GOT OFF THEIR TAILS AND VOTED, THEY COULD TAKE THIS TOWN OVER IN ONE ELECTION. I KNOW LIKE SIX BLACK FAMILIES COULD DO THE SAME THING. WE GOT TO GET THE APATHY GOING. I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS. YOU KNOW, I SAW YOUR BOOTH AT JUNETEENTH. IT WAS EMPTY. THERE WAS NOTHING. YOUR TIME IS DONE. OH, MY PLEASURE, MY PLEASURE. ALL RIGHT, COME ON UP, MR. WHITE. WE HAVE REPORTS, THE MAIN MEETING TODAY IN FIVE K
[REPORTS]
UPDATE, FOR THE RECORD, BENNY ELAINE PARK BELONGS TO THE TRAVIS COUNTY. SO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TRAVIS COUNTY, YOU CAN. THE ONE THAT YOU SAID WE HAVE LOCKED UP BENEFICIAL PARK THAT IS ACTUALLY COUNTY PARK, NOT OURS. NEITHER IS ANY OF THAT PROPERTY OVER THERE. NONE OF THE PROPERTY OVER THERE IS OURS. IT BELONGS TO THE COUNTY, SO I JUST. YES, SIR. I UNDERSTAND.OKAY? I GOT KICKED OUT BY THE POLICE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SIR, THANKS FOR BEING HERE. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I'M DEREK WHITE WITH EVOLUTION OF HEALTH, AND I WOULD LIKE TO START BY EXPRESSING MY GRATITUDE TO THE CITY OF MANOR AS A WHOLE. THE SUPPORT FROM THE RESIDENTS HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY ENCOURAGING AND REAFFIRMS MY COMMITMENT TO CREATING THIS EVENT AND THIS GREAT CITY. I ALSO WANT TO EXTEND MY THANKS TO THE CITY'S LEADERSHIP FOR INCLUDING THIS CONCEPT AND MY ORGANIZATION INTO THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS PLANS. SO THANK YOU, MAYOR HARVEY.
MAYOR PRO TEM EMILY HILL, MR. SCOTT MOORE, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, CHIEF PHIPPS AND MISS YOLANDA SANTANA FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN SO MANY WAYS. THIS YEAR WE HAD A FANTASTIC TURNOUT AND WITH A FEW SMALL CHANGES, I BELIEVE WE CAN DOUBLE OR EVEN TRIPLE THE ATTENDANCE NEXT YEAR. AND THE CITY WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN PROMOTING THE EVENT. ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND COVERING SOME OF THE COSTS. THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHERE WE CAN IMPROVE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I DO HOPE THE CITY SEES THE VALUE IN THIS PARTNERSHIP. SO THIS YEAR, THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE AGES FOR THOSE WHO ATTENDED OR REGISTERED, WE HAD A TOTAL OF 90 PEOPLE WHO REGISTERED, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE, THE AVERAGE AGE WAS 35, MOST OF THE ATTENDEES OR THE PEOPLE WHO REGISTERED WERE FEMALE, 61, 40% MEN, REGISTRATION COUNT OUT OF THE 90, 44 OF THEM ARE WERE FROM MAYNOR, WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN THAT DEFINITELY SPEAKS TO, HOW IT'S RECEIVED AT THE COMMUNITY, NEXT UP IS AUSTIN AND EVERYONE ELSE KIND OF TRICKLED IN. I'M DEFINITELY GRATEFUL FOR THOSE WHO CAME OUT FROM, KYLE AND GEORGETOWN, IN FORT WORTH. SO LET'S SEE. SO LOOKING AT THE DONATION AMOUNT THIS SECOND, THIS WILL GO INTO THE SPONSORSHIPS. BUT THIS YEAR WE HAD I THINK IT WAS $925 IN DONATIONS. YES, $925 IN DONATIONS. AND TWO OF THOSE DONATIONS WERE FROM ONE OF THE SPONSORS, BLACK MEN'S HEALTH CLINIC. EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE AND, THOSE PEOPLE WERE TONY ELLIS AND CARL SPENCER. A TOTAL OF $600, THE TOTAL PROFIT FROM THE REGISTRATIONS WAS $2,708. DONATIONS $925. AND THAT GOES
[00:10:12]
INTO THE LANDRY'S, PORTION OF IT. SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE CITY SIDE, SHE CAN UPDATE YOU ON THA. SO THE OVERALL EXPENSES THIS YEAR, AS OF THE REPORT SENT IN, I HAD, NOT GOTTEN THE INVOICE FROM THE, THE OFFICERS YET. SO THE TOTAL, ALL THE EXPENDITURES CAME OUT TO 8700. AND I STAND CORRECTED, $11,308 AND $0.30, SOME OF THOSE EXPENSES, INCLUDE, THE DJ, THE FINISHER MEDALS, THE BOUNCY HOUSES, THE STAFF FEES, OFFICER VEHICLES, AS WELL AS THE POLICE OFFICERS EVENT SHIRTS, ADVERTISEMENTS, VIDEOGRAPHER AND PHOTOGRAPHER POSTCARDS, AND FACE PAINTER. SO THAT IS EVERYTHING FROM THAT REPORT. SO OVERALL, THIS IS A GREAT EVENT. I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK FROM EVERYONE. AND I DO THINK THAT MOVING FORWARD, JUST AN OPEN LINE OF COMMUNICATION AND CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF OUR ROLES, I THINK THIS COULD BE A REALLY GOOD EVENT THAT CAN CONTINUE GOING. I DO HOPE THAT YOU SEE THE VALUE IN THIS EVENT AND CONTINUE WITH IT. AND, I DON'T HAVE ANY REQUESTS THIS YEAR, ALL THE REQUESTS THAT I ASKED FOR LAST YEAR, YOU GUYS WERE, GRATEFUL, I'M DEFINITELY GRATEFUL FOR YOU GUYS, GIVING THOSE TO ME, SO JUST APPRECIATE THE SAME THING FOR NEXT YEAR, THE ONLY CHANGE WOULD JUST BE, JUST OPEN DIALOG, JUST CLEAR UNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR ME AS WELL AS THIS FOR Y'ALL. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS GOES ON AND CONTINUES. SO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBERS, ANY QUESTIONS? I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BEING THERE WAS WHO WAS IN WHO WAS, SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENED? OR DID WE GET THE CONTACTS TO THEM OR THE INFORMATION TO THEM OR ANY INFORMATION ON THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL? YES MA'AM, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, TRAVIS COUNTY ISD NUMBER 12, WE CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD BE THERE. THEY REACHED OUT TO ME INITIALLY. BUT, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT PAID, SERVICE PROVIDERS, THEY WERE THERE AS IN A CAPACITY OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT, ANYTHING THAT CAME UP WOULD TAKE PRIORITY. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T MAKE CLEAR WHEN WE, WE WERE EMAILING BACK AND FORTH. SO MOVING FORWARD, I'LL HAVE, EMERGENCY. I HAVE A MEDICAL TEAM THERE SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT PURPOSE AND NOT TRY TO GET THE FIREFIGHTERS TO PLAY DOUBLE DUT.OKAY. THANK YOU. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? OKAY. WASN'T THERE A WRECK OR SOMETHING THAT DAY? YEAH. SO THEY WILL THEY WILL PULL IT FOR THOSE THINGS. YEAH. OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS, DEREK I'LL JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH US. I THINK IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD EVENT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S SOME DETAILS THAT WE GOT TO WORK OUT, LIKE SOME MORE SIGNAGE AND STUFF LIKE THAT FOR THE FUTURE, YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN GO BACK TO THE DRAWING. YOU KNOW, BOARD AND, YOU KNOW, JUST MAKE IT BETTER EVERY YEAR. SO ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NO, I APPRECIATE YOU. YEAH. THANKS TO THE HEALTH COMMITTEE AND CITY STAFF THAT THAT SURROUND AROUND THAT PROJECT. SO I MEAN, IT WAS IT WAS A GREAT THING LAST YEAR. AND YOU KNOW, OUR BIGGEST GOAL WAS WAS TO KEEP IT GOING. AND WE HAD ANOTHER ONE. SO I THINK AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER IS, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHEN IT'S KIND OF LOCKED IN. SO YEAH.
YEAH, LET'S KEEP LET'S KEEP IT GOING. I HAD A PERSONAL BEST ON THE, ON THE PODCAST. SO I WAS, I WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT, I MADE IT THROUGH TWO OF THEM. SO, SO YEAH, I WILL SAY ONE OTHER THING THAT I FORGOT TO INCLUDE IN HERE LAST YEAR, I DID NOT HAVE THE KIDS ONE DAY THIS YEAR.
WE DID INCLUDE THAT, WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING SURE ALL THE KIDS RAN FOR FREE AND THEY STILL RECEIVED THEIR FINISHER MEDALS AND SO THE, RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS FROM THE PARENTS OF THOSE CHILDREN, AND THEY WERE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THAT EXPERIENCE. AND SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO DO MOVING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO ENGAGE THE KIDS AND GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. AND, YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE A GOOD EVENING. YOU TOO. ALL RIGHT. MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR? MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. APPROVE CONSENT? THE CONSENT AGENDA. WELL, MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN. WHILE IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN WARING? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. NUMBER TWO. CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION.[REGULAR AGENDA]
POSSIBLE ACTION ON A SELECTION OF INSURANCE BENEFITS. SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR EMPLOYEE INSURANCE BENEFITS COVERING MEDICAL, DENTAL, VISION, DISABILITY, AND LIFE INSURANCE. MISS VASQUEZ, GOOD EVENING. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, BRETT BOWERS, OUR REP FROM HUB WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT WITH US TONIGHT, SO I'M GOING TO GO OVER THE PRESENTATION MYSELF, BACK ON MARCH 20TH, 2024, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE PARTNERING WITH HUB INTERNATIONAL, A THIRD PARTY CONSULTING FIRM, TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS REGARDING HEALTH BENEFITS FOR THE EMPLOYEES. AND LET'S MOVE ON AS YOU SEE, AN RFP WAS ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WERE ACCEPTED THROUGH MAY 25TH WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF HUB. THE PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY REVIEWED AND AN OVERVIEW OF RESPONSES IS PRESENTED. THE PROVIDERS WHICH STAFF IS RECOMMENDING IS GOING TO BE UNITED HEALTH CARE FOR MEDICAL AND RENAISSANCE FOR THE SUPPLEMENT LIKE THE ADDITIONAL THE DENTAL, THE VISION, THE LIFE AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL LIFE. SO MOVING ON. I HAVE TO DO THIS. SO ON THE FIRST ONE, WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER HOW THE CRITERIA CAME OUT ON THE PERCENTAGES, COST WAS AT 30. WAS CLAIMS PROCESSING 20% FINANCIAL STABILITY, ANOTHER 20 CLAIMS MANAGEMENT REPORTS.THAT'S GOOD. IT'S A BENEFIT FROM ON MY SIDE AS HR. SO THAT'S STILL A 10. INTEGRATED SYSTEMS FOR BEING ABLE TO LOG IN AND LOG OUT EFFICIENTLY, EFFICIENTLY FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT. THAT WOULD BE LIKE A 10% COMMUNICATION AND REFERENCES, ANOTHER 5. THE TOTAL VENDOR RESPONSE. WE REACHED OUT TO 21 SIX TO DECLINED TO RESPOND AND 15 PARTICIPATED WITH THAT BEING SAID, ON THE TOP, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THE EASIEST, WHICH IS BASIC LIFE. WE WERE LOOKING MOSTLY TO MATCH THE BENEFITS WE HAVE CURRENTLY, AND AT THIS ONE, WITH THE CURRENT THAT WE HAVE NOW, WHICH IS WITH TEXAS HEALTH, THE STANDARD, RENAISSANCE CAME IN AT AN 11% UNDER, AT A SAVINGS OF $315.12 VOLUNTARY LIFE, WHICH IS OFFERED TO EMPLOYEES AT THEIR COST. PRETTY MUCH ALL THE BENEFITS WOULD SAY THE SAME, EXCEPT FOR IF YOU SEE THE SPOUSE'S GUARANTEED REPORT ISSUE WOULD BE GO FROM 25 TO 50% AND IT ACTUALLY STAYS THE SAME. THERE'S NO EXTRA COST. IF WE MOVE ON TO LOOK AT THE VISION BENEFITS, THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH WE CURRENTLY HAVE A BASIS A VISA SENT BACK. WHAT? THEY'RE WHAT THEY'RE IN THEIR AMOUNT WOULD BE THIS YEAR. AND IT WAS GOING UP ALMOST 43, WHICH WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL COST TO THE CITY OF 4600 STATE. IF WE WENT WITH RENAISSANCE, WE WOULD HAVE ONE EXTRA, A LITTLE BIT EXTRA ON THE BENEFIT FOR FRAMES. RIGHT NOW, WE CAN ONLY GET THEM AT EVERY 24 MONTHS WHERE THIS YOU CAN GET THEM EVERY 12 MONTHS, AND IT'S A 3% COST SAVINGS. DENTAL. CURRENTLY WE HAVE DENTAL WITH TEXAS HEALTH, THEY ARE PROPOSING TO GO UP ANOTHER 7% THIS YEAR, WHICH WOULD BE A COST OF FOUR 456 $400, $4,562. SORRY, AND OF COURSE, WE WERE PROPOSING TO GO WITH RENAISSANCE. IT'S A 12% SAVINGS AT $7,300 PER YEAR. AND HERE'S OUR BIG ONE MEDICAL. SO WE REACHED WITH ALL OF THE 15. THE TOP THREE WERE GOING TO BE, ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT OR NOT, TEXAS HEALTH CAME BACK AND DROPPED THEIR, THEIR COST. THIS THIS PROPOSAL FOR A 10.5% AT A SAVINGS OF 135. UNITED HEALTH CARE STILL CAME IN ON TOP AT
[00:20:08]
SAVINGS OF 167,000 AT A 13. AND THEN BAYLOR, SCOTT AND WHITE ALSO WAS ANOTHER, BENEFIT OPTION WITH A SAVINGS OF 7.4, WITH UNITED HEALTH CARE, THEY GIVE US AN 8000 TECH CREDIT, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE ALL THE ONLINE BASIS WE CAN GET A LINK ON OUR WEBSITE WHERE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DO ALL THEIR OPEN ENROLLMENT THEMSELVES ONLINE. THEY'LL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL, BOTH RENAISSANCE AND ALL THEIR, BENEFITS ONLINE. THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME THROUGH HR. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GET A SPECIAL LINK. THIS WOULD BE ALL IN LINE FOR US. MEDICAL BENEFITS. THE CHANGES ON IT WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH KEEPING UP THE SAME, EXCEPT FOR THERE'S TWO NICE THINGS. YOU'RE THE MOVE WOULD CHANGE.THE MOVE WOULD DROP $1,000, THEN GO UP. IS A MAXIMUM OUT OF POCKET. AND THAT WOULD BE CHANGED FROM 5000 TO 4000 FOR INDIVIDUAL AND CHANGE FROM 10,000 TO 8000 FOR FAMILY.
ANOTHER NICE ONE. SO THE NETWOR, MEDICAL HEALTH AND THE OFFICE VISITS WOULD DROP WITH UNITED HEALTH CARE PLUS ANY CHILDREN UNDER 19. IT'S A ZERO. URGENT CARE IS ALSO A LITTLE LESS EXPENSIVE ON THE, COPAY. SO MOVING ON. LOOKING AT THE RECOMMENDATIONS, GOING WITH RENAISSANCE LIFE, WHICH WOULD COVER OUR BASIC LIFE, VOLUNTEER LIFE, DENTAL AND VISION. THE SAVINGS WOULD BE PRETTY, PRETTY EXTENSIVE. PLUS, THE MATCHING OFFERS WOULD LOOK NICE. THE NICE THING ABOUT THE VISION IS THE EXTRA FRAMES YOU CAN GET THE FREQUENCY OF THE FRAMES.
MEDICAL. YOU WITH UNITED HEALTHCARE, WE'RE BECOMING UNDER 13. THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF POCKETS CHANGE, AND WITH A NICE $8,000 TECH CREDIT. AND SO THE OVERALL SAVINGS FOR THE YEAR FOR THE CITY WOULD BE $174,972.08. THERE WILL BE A RECOMMENDATION ON THE NEXT PORTION, THERE IS A COST RECOMMENDATION MOVING FORWARD WITH, MAYBE IMPROVING THE BASIC LIFE, ADDING SHORT TERM DISABILITY, LONG TERM DISABILITY AND A RESERVE FUND, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT, THE CITY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING ADDING AT LEAST THE SHORT TERM DISABILITY AND THEN STARTING A RESERVE FUND. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. TRACEY I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH, RENAISSANCE VISION THAT THAT MUCH WITH THE COST SAVINGS AND I. AND THEN IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THE FREQUENCY OF 12 MONTHS VERSUS 24 ON THE FRAME ALLOWANCE. I JUST USUALLY FIND THAT THEY PICK IT BACK UP AGAIN WITH THE LENSES OR ANY CO-PAYS. DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT TO SEE IF HOW THAT I DID, AND WE HAVE A GUARANTEE FOR TWO YEARS, GUARANTEED RATE FOR TWO YEARS. AND THEY'RE NOT. IT DOESN'T. THE RATES CANNOT CHANGE AFTER UNTIL AFTER THE TWO YEARS.
WE'LL HAVE A TWO YEAR CONTRACT. HOW DOES THAT, RESERVE FUND WORK? SO THAT'S ON THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM. TAKE MORE QUESTIONS OR A MOTION ON SIGNING UP WITH THROUGH THE TECH PORTAL. YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. SO I STILL WILL GO BACK AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S SIGNED IN AND DO IT FOR THEM. I DON'T LIKE TO TELL THEM THAT, BUT TO MAKE SURE NOBODY'S BENEFITS LAPSE. RIGHT.
THAT WAS MY CONCERN. YES. ABLE TO GET INTO IT. OR IF THEY HAVE TROUBLE AND DON'T UNDERSTAND AND DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. AND THERE WILL BE CLASSES ON IT. SO THEN THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE THAT ISSUE, BUT I'D STILL HAVE THE ONE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OFFICERS THAT WORK MIDNIGHTS. THEY'RE OFF FOR THREE DAYS. THEY DON'T YOU KNOW, WE ONLY GET TWO WEEKS TO DO IT. AND USUALLY I GO IN THE LAST DAY AND I DO THAT. OKAY. THAT'S THAT WAS A CONCERN. THANK YOU. MAYOR. MAYOR COUNCIL LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT CITY COUNCIL SELECT UNITED HEALTHCARE FOR THE MEDICAL BENEFITS PROVIDER AND RENAISSANCE FOR THE DENTAL VISION, DISABILITY AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS PROVIDER AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE INDIVIDUAL SERVICE CONTRACTS WITH THE CONSULTANTS SELECTED TO BRING BACK FOR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL BY THE CITY COUNCIL. MOTION ON THE
[00:25:02]
FLOOR. BY COUNCIL MEMBER RYAN. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WARES, ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? I HAVE ONE QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. I WAS TRYING TO GET MY VOICE TOGETHER FIRST. CURRENTLY, DO WE HAVE OVER 75% OF OUR EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATING IN OUR IN THE CITY? OKAY, WE DO. SO THAT DEFINITELY WON'T BE A PROBLEM READING THAT. OKAY, NOT AT ALL.SO THE QUESTIONS, ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO NUMBER. ITEM NUMBER THREE CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CREATION OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFITS TRUST. DESIGNATING THE CITY MANAGER FINANCE DIRECTOR, AND HUMAN RESOURCE DIRECTOR TO BE TRUSTEES OF SAID TRUST AND AUTHORIZING THE TRUST TO PURCHASE VARIOUS FORMS OF INSURANCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CITY OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, RETIRED QUALIFIED RETIREES, AND THEIR DEPENDENTS. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS AGENDA ITEM, THIS GOES BACK TO THE RESERVE FUND. SO THE RESERVE FUND WOULD BE THE $75,000 WORTH OF SAVINGS. AND WE'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND STARTING A BENEFITS TRUST WHERE WE'LL TAKE THAT 75,000 U. FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE CITY AND START LEAVE THAT SOMEWHERE IN A RESERVE ACCOUNT TO INVEST WHERE THE PROCEEDS TO IT WILL KEEP BUILDING AND THIS WILL GIVE ALLEVIATION TO FUTURE PREMIUM INCREASES FOR SURE FOR FUTURE ADDED BENEFITS FOR THE CITY EMPLOYEES WHERE IT DOESN'T HIT THE BUDGET. AND THIS ALSO THE BUDGET TRUSTEES CAN BE COUNCIL OR STAFF WERE RECOMMENDING STAFF AS THEY'RE IN ON DECK EVERY DAY. THIS ALSO SAVE US THAT 1.75% ON THE RESOLUTION FOR THE STATE TAX THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN CHARGE US A PREMIUM TAX WITHOUT ONE. YOU KNOW, THE DISTANCE CALMING WHEN FOR SOME CITIES THEY ESTABLISH THIS. OH YEAH. IT'S VERY COMMON.
AND LIKE I SAID THIS ASSISTS IN THE FUTURE PREMIUMS GOING UP OR ADDING BENEFITS. IT DOESN'T. IF WE CAN MAKE MONEY ON THE RESERVE ACCOUNT SITTING THERE AND PUT THAT TOWARDS MORE BENEFITS OR SAVINGS FOR THE CITY, I THINK I'M CONFUSED. SO WHO WILL THE TRUST WHO WILL THE TRUST? IT'LL BE THE CITY MANAGER, FINANCE DIRECTOR AND MYSELF OR THE HR DIRECTOR, NOT MYSELF. OKAY.
I'M SORRY. THIS IS VERY NEW TO ME FROM. GO AHEAD. CAN YOU PROVIDE A DEEPER EXPLANATION? I'M LOST ON THE WORD TRUST. BUT WHAT THE. THIS IS A COMMITTEE OR IT'S A RESERVE FUND IS WHAT WE'RE. WE'RE PROPOSING, LIKE TO HAVE A RESERVE FUND TO TAKE 75,000 FROM THIS, THE SAVINGS AND PUT IT IN A RESERVE FUND. BUT ON IT, WE NEED TO DO A BENEFIT TRUST. WE WANT TO USE THIS FOR BENEFITS IN THE FUTURE. AND SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS BE ABLE TO INVEST IT WHERE WE'LL GET EITHER HIGHER INTEREST RATES TO COLLECT MORE PROCEEDS ON THE MONEY THAT'S SITTING THERE. SO IF YOU DO IF WE ESTABLISH THE BENEFITS TRUST, WE IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN JUST INVESTING.
IT'LL BE IT'LL BE MORE FOR THE BENEFITS. AND LIKE I SAID, IF WE'RE NOT ESTABLISHING THIS AND USING THE MONEY SAVED TO GO TOWARDS, FUTURE BENEFITS, THEY CAN CHARGE US A 1.75% HIGHER INTEREST, PREMIUMS RATE. WHAT'S THE LIFETIME ON THE TRUST, TRACY, WELL, SO IF WE DECIDE THIS, IT WILL GO WITH HOW THE MONEY ROLLS AND THEN IF WE DECIDE TO GO BACK THROUGH, LIKE ANOTHER POOL, WE CAN ELIMINATE THE TRUST AND PUT IT JUST BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND, IS WHAT I UNDERSTOOD. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I WILL SAY, COUNSELOR, TO THIS. IF WE NEEDED TO SHOW UP FOR TRANSPARENCY, WE CAN INCLUDE IT IN THE BUDGET SO THAT, OH FOR SURE, IT'S NOT IN SOME FUND. IT WOULD BE PART OF OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR OPERATING BUDGET SO THAT WE SEE THAT NUMBER FOR. SO IT WOULD BE SO MUCH INTEREST IN THE FISCAL YEAR. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE. SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT THE TRUST AND THAT FUND IS BASICALLY IT'S JUST DRAWING INTEREST AND BASICALLY NOT SPENT ANYWHERE ELSE. 20,000 ANNUALLY. ON THE SHORT TERM, YE.
[00:30:35]
OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, I DO HAVE ONE MORE FOR THE FOR THE PEOPLE COMING UP. WE HAVE A LARGE POOL OF SOON TO BE RETIREES. I MEAN, WHAT'S THE LOGIC? WE'VE GOT A WHILE BEFORE WE START. WE'VE GOT A WHILE BEFORE THAT. AND THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A WHOLE RESOLUTION FOR RETIREE BENEFITS.THAT'S. YEAH, THAT'S GOT TO COME BACK. OKAY. THANKS. MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024, DASH 19, AUTHORIZING THE CREATION OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFITS TRUST, DESIGNATING THE CITY MANAGER, FINANCE DIRECTOR, AND HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR TO BE TRUSTEES OF SAID TRUST AND AUTHORIZING THE TRUST TO PURCHASE VARIOUS FORMS OF INSURANCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CITY OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, QUALIFIED RETIREES, AND THEIR DEPENDENTS. WELL, MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER MORENO, IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. SECOND. BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE, ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? I DO HAVE. YOU GOT SOMETHING? JUST LOOKING FOR THE FOR THE SAFEGUARDS. VERONICA, YOU DON'T MIND COMING UP, PLEASE? IN THE RESOLUTION SECTION, ONE IS TALKING ABOUT RIGHTS, POWERS, DUTIES. AND THEN I GUESS THE, I GUESS SECTION FOUR AND SECTION FIVE, ALL OF THAT. I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT WHAT ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? IF THE TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE RESOLUTION OR THE ACTUAL DECLARATION OF TRUST, LOOKING AT THE DECLARATION OF TRUST. OKAY. SO IN THE CASE OF THIS TRUST, THE WAY THAT IT'S BEING SET UP, CORRECT? YOU HAVE, EMPLOYEES THAT ARE GOING TO BE TRUSTEES. IF CITY COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE OF CHECKS AND BALANCES, THERE'S NOTHING TO PROHIBIT THE CITY COUNCIL ASKING THAT REPORTS BE MADE TO THE CITY COUNCIL, NOT JUST AT BUDGET TIME, BUT AT OTHER TIMES WHEN INVESTMENTS ARE GOING TO BE MADE OR ANY ACTION IS BEING TAKEN BY THE TRUSTEES OF THIS TRUST FOR, YOUR CHECKS AND BALANCE REQUIREMENT, THE CONSULTANTS, MY UNDERSTANDING AND TRACY CAN, CONFIRM THIS, BUT, IRENE IN OUR OFFICE WAS THE ONE THAT WORKED ON THIS TRUST. BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CONSULTANT WAS THE ONE THAT WAS RECOMMENDING THAT THE TRUSTEES BE THE EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THEY ARE INVOLVED ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO PROHIBIT CITY COUNCIL FROM ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS OR CHANGES TO THE TRUST FOR THAT CHECKS AND BALANCE. YEAH. AND IT'S NOT ABOUT, CURRENT POSITIONS. IT'S ABOUT FUTURE POSITIONS. AND SURE, YOU KNOW, IN LIGHT OF SOME OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST, WHILE BACK, THE LANGUAGE IS KIND OF VAGUE, LIKE ONE OF THEM SAYS THAT THEY CAN JUST, TRUSTEES CAN MEET AND THEN DISSOLVE IT. AT ANY POINT. RIGHT. THE DISSOLUTION AGAIN CAN HAPPEN.
BUT IF YOU'D LIKE FOR IT TO COME TO COUNCIL BEFORE A DISSOLUTION SO THAT THE COUNCIL CAN, DIRECT THE TRUST ON THAT, THEN WE CAN MAKE THOSE CHANGES. WE WOULD ASK IF YOU ARE WANTING US TO PROVIDE
[00:35:07]
SOME CHECKS AND BALANCES. AND, TRACY, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE NEEDING TO HAVE THIS APPROVED TODAY OR IF WE CAN COME BACK AND PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL CHECKS AND BALANCES FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION AT THE NEXT MEETING. OKAY SO WE COULD, WHAT WE COULD DO IS ALSO AMEND IT AND WE CAN COME BACK WITH AN AMENDMENT SINCE SHE'S NEEDING IT. DONE TODAY, BUT WE COULD CERTAINLY COME BACK WITH AN AMENDMENT TO THE TRUST DECLARATION OF TRUST. RIGHT. CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE COMPENSATION? WHICH SECTION? NO. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS NO COMPENSATION FOR THE TRUSTEES. IS THIS THE LANGUAGE LOOKS FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S OKAY, BUT IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE REIMBURSEMENT, JUST REIMBURSEMENT TO DO THE DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE. RIGHT.BUT NO, IT'S JUST IT'S JUST YOUR TYPICAL REIMBURSEMENT. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S JUST YOUR TYPICAL REIMBURSEMENT. LIKE IF THEY HAD TO TRAVEL FOR A MEETING OR DO A, YOU KNOW, A MEAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT'S NOT ACTUAL REIMBURSEMENTS FOR DUTIES. I'D FEEL BETTER IF THE LANGUAGE. SURE. SO, AGAIN, ONE OF THE THINGS THOUGH THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS BECAUSE IF YOU APPROVE THIS, THEN IT'S THE TRUSTEES THAT NEED TO COME BACK AND MAKE THE CHANGES OR ACCEPT THEM. SO I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE TRUSTEES WOULD NEED TO DO THAT AS WELL, BECAUSE THE DECLARATION IS YOU'RE APPOINTING THE TRUSTEES. SO, THE TRUSTEES WILL NEED TO SIGN THE DOCUMENT NEXT TIME. AND AGAIN. THEY WOULD BE AGREEING TO, COUNCIL BEING, PROVIDING THE CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT Y'ALL ARE DISCUSSING RIGHT NOW. SO AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE YOUR TRUST IN YOUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, YOUR HR DIRECTOR AND YOUR CITY MANAGER TO COME BACK AND SIGN THAT, AMENDED DOCUMENT, THEN I WOULD RECOMMEND MOVING FORWARD. I DON'T KNOW IF I TRUST THEM, I'M JUST KIDDING. I TRUST THEM SO I TRUST THEM. OTHER QUESTIONS. ON THE MOTION, ALL RIGHT, ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED MOTION PASSES. ONE. TWO. THREE. FOUR. ONE. ALL RIGHT. MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

NOW COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT IS THERE ARE, I BELIEVE, TWO ITEMS THAT YOU ALL
[00:40:04]
DO NEED TO DECIDE. ONE IS THE BRANDING AND THE OTHER ONE IS IDENTIFYING WHO THE LIAISON WILL BE. SO IF YOU ARE INCLINED TO MAKE A MOTION, IF YOU COULD INCLUDE THAT IN YOUR MOTION.MY QUESTION WAS WHO WOULD BE THAT LIAISON? AND AND WHAT WAS THE REASON OF CHOOSING EIGHTH GRADE? 12TH GRADE, THE LIAISON IS ANY CITY STAFF THAT YOU DEEM QUALIFIED TO RUN THIS, AND THEN THIS IS OUR STANDARDS THAT HTML, TESTIMONY LEAGUE HAS FOR THIS PROGRAM, WHEN THIS PROGRAM ESTABLISHED AND WE'RE IN A BETTER POSITION, WE CAN ADD UNDER THAT SAME PROGRAM, A COMMITTEE LIKE A MINI COMMITTEE OR THEY CALL IT SUBCOMMITTEES FOR YOUNGER TEENS, FOR YOUNGER STUDENTS THAT THEY ARE MAINLY, THEY CALL IT JUNIOR YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION. THAT RUNS FROM FOURTH GRADE ALL THE WAY TO SEVENTH GRADE, WHICH THE OLDER COMMISSION, MEMBERS CAN ACTUALLY MENTOR THESE KIDS TO LATER ON PASS THE BATON, LIKE YOU SAID, THE DUTIES TO BE AT THE ACTUALLY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COMMISSION, THAT'S, BASICALLY STANDARDS, THE JUNIOR ADVISORY COMMISSION IS PRETTY NEW TO THE HTML, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THE FIRST ONE THAT BROUGHT IT WAS KILLING ABOUT 13, FIVE YEARS AGO. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. AND IT'S THE ONLY ONE RIGHT NOW WITH A ESTABLISHED JUNIOR SUBCOMMITTEE, COMMITTEE. BUT IT HAS TO BE UNDER, THE YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS A SUBCOMMITTEE. THEY'VE ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT ANOTHER ONE. GO AHEAD. SO I GUESS IT MAY ADD ON TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. SO THIS ONE WILL EVENTUALLY ADD A JUNIOR, YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL, AND THEN IT WILL GO UP TO WHERE THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO INTO THE, I GUESS, THE REGULAR YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? I'M ONLY ASKING.
WE HAVE THE SAME THING IN BRYANT, BUT IT WAS ONLY JUNIORS AND SENIORS, OR THERE WERE SOME IN SOME OF THE OTHER, TOWNS THAT I SAW. AND SO THEY WERE ONLY HIGH SCHOOL UP TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, OR AT A CERTAIN AGE RANGE. AND THEN IT WENT UP. AND SO I WAS JUST WONDERING, BECAUSE EIGHTH GRADE SEEMED TO BE ONE OF THE FEW. AND IN SOME, I GUESS IN SOME CAPACITIES IN SCHOOLS, IT'S THEY'RE COMING FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SCHEDULE, A DIFFERENT KIND OF SPACE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THEY KIND OF CAN CAUSE A DIFFERENCE AND MAYBE EVEN A DIFFERENCE IN, THINKING AND ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO HELP. AND SO THAT'S WHY I WAS JUST WONDERING WHERE THAT WAS COMING FROM, IT DOES DEPEND, AT THE END OF THE DAY, A CITY COUNCIL, WHAT LEVEL THEY WANT TO. I JUST GO WITH CITY, WITH HTML, MINIMAL STANDARDS, WITH A GRADE, IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, JUST THERE WAS DIFFERENT BETWEEN MENTALITY AND EVERYTHING. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR OLDER KIDS TO ALSO MENTOR KIDS THAT ARE TRANSITIONING THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL. AND BESIDES, JUST A LITTLE INCONVENIENCE DOWN THERE, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MAJOR.
ACTUALLY, THEY ALL USE IT AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE, AND IT CREATE MORE DIVERSITY ON THE GROUP. AND WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE SURE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE YOUTH GROUP, AND THAT'S ACTUALLY REPRESENTED. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU GUYS WANT TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT AND CHANGE THAT, IT'S ALL IT'S ON YOUR HANDS. I JUST GO WITH THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF HTML. WHAT ARE THE, VOTER EDUCATION REGISTRATION EXPECTATIONS, FOR OUR YOUTH? YES. LIKE, ARE THEY, LIKE, IT'S.
I KNOW THE STANDARD LANGUAGE IN REGARDS TO VOLUNTEER AND SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES, DO THEY ENGAGE WITH ANY AND THE AND, THE POLITICAL SYSTEM, THEY ALL THEIR LEADERSHIPS GOES, DIFFERENT LEVELS AND INCLUDE MUNICIPALITY, SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE, WHICH INCLUDE VOTING, IT WILL BE PART OF ANY LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS. THAT IS THROUGH HTML. SO WHEN WE DO ACTIVITIES OR THE OR THE KIDS DO
[00:45:04]
ACTIVITIES LIKE LEADERSHIP IN TRAINING OR ANY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THAT WE DO, IT WILL ROTATE EVERY YEAR. WHAT THEY LEARN, BUT EVERYTHING AT THE END IS INCLUDED. THEY WILL BE TRAINED TO BE FULL LEADERS FROM EVERY ASPECT OF THE GOVERNMENT. PERSPECTIVE. THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF CLASSES AND, SUGGESTED PROGRAMS AND TRAINING IN HTML. WHICH IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, WE DID ALL OF THEM EVERY YEAR, WHEN I WAS IN CLAIM, SO I DO EXPECT TO SEE SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR HERE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE ALL OUR KIDS ARE WE'RE CREATING FULL LEADERS WITH THE FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE. THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN IN OUR CITY, IN OUR COMMUNITY. OKAY AND WE ALSO TAKE SUGGESTION FROM CITY COUNCIL OR ANY OTHER LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT HELP THE KIDS SHOULD BE BENEFITED. THEY LEARN ANY OTHER SKILLS. COUNCIL MEMBERS, DID YOU HAVE MORE THOUGHTS IN REGARDS TO THE AGE THING? PROBABLY JUST. ONE. THE GRADE LEVEL. HTML AND ALSO BY GRADE, NOT BY AGE CATEGORY. SINCE, KIDS WITH DIFFERENT AGE CATEGORIES CAN BE ON ONE SPECIFIC GRADE. SO IT IS BETTER TO, HAVE THEM BY GRADE BECAUSE IT WILL BE EASIER TO TRACK, THAT'S THE MAIN REASON THEY DON'T DO A SPECIFIC AGE. YEAH. QUESTION. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE GRADE. DOES TMS DOES HTML ALSO PROVIDE LIKE THE BASIC FUNDING TO GET THE PROGRAM STARTED? NO, THAT WILL BE WITHIN THE CITY, WHICH, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT IT WILL IMPACT THE CITY'S BUDGET FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. AND THEN I'M MISTAKEN. I WILL HAVE TO COME BACK FOR THAT, USUALLY EVERY CITY DOES ALLOCATE AN AMOUNT TO RUN THE PROGRAM THAT WILL INCLUDE ANY EXPENSES OF THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING WHEN THEY GO TO THE HTML YOUTH SUMMITS, ANY EVENTS OR ANY ACTIVITIES THAT KIDS ARE INVOLVED INTO. IT. OH, GOOD QUESTIONS. DO WE HAVE A LIST OF RECOMMENDED STAFF? SORRY, SIR. DO WE HAVE A LIST OF RECOMMENDED STAFF FOR THE, THE LIAISON, WE DON'T. THAT'S UP TO YOU GUYS. WHOEVER YOU GUYS WANT TO APPOINT, BUT WE DON'T. WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS APPOINT. JUST SAY, APPOINT SOMEONE, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. IF THERE WAS ANYONE THAT HAD AN INTEREST. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN IT? I COULD RUN, IF THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD. IF I'M TOLD. WHO HERE HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE AT DOING THIS TYPE OF THING? YELANDUR YOLANDA I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO HAS THE BANDWIDTH TO BE ABLE. IT DOES SEEM LIKE A VERY, VERY TASKING. IT DOES HELP TO HAVE SOMEONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCE WITH, HOW KNOWING HOW THE PROGRAM SHOULD LOOK, BUT THEN ALSO HAVING EXPERIENCE GOING TO THE COMMUNITY AND BEING ABLE TO GET THE PROGRAM STARTED, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A AUGUST TO MAY, THING. AND SO BEING ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE GROUND REALLY QUICKLY WOULD HELP AS WELL BE VERY BENEFICIAL. IS IT TOO MUCH TO PUT IT OUT THERE TO SEE? BECAUSE I GUESS IT'S NOT FAIR TO PUT IT ALL ON YOU AUTOMATICALLY. BUT, I GUESS TO BRING IT OUT TO THE CITY AND THEN SEE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED AT ALL. I GUESS YOU DON'T KNOW. DOES IT HAVE TO BE A DIRECTOR, OR COULD IT BE AN[00:50:02]
ACTUAL STAFF MEMBER THAT HAS A PASSION FOR IT, BUT MAY NOT KNOW TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY? IT'S OUT THERE. I THINK MAYOR COUNCIL PUT THE INITIATIVE BEING NEW AND BEING BROUGHT BEFORE YOU AND BEING THE FIRST, SAY, CHANCE TO REALLY LOOK AT HOW TO GET OUR YOUTH ENGAGED AND CAN SOMETIMES THEY RELATE TO PEOPLE OR INDIVIDUALS THAT THAT YOU INSPIRE THEM TO DO THIS. AND IF IT'S A STAFF MEMBER, THAT'S IF IT STARTS WITH, YOU KNOW, MY OFFICE, I CAN ASSIGN SOMEONE IF THEY COME FORWARD. SO THAT WAY I DON'T HAVE TO. THIS TASK, YOU DO IT BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE EXPECTATIONS COME BACK TO YOU. IF WE DO A BUDGET THAT WHOLE PROCESS IS PART OF WHAT WE DO AND TRY TO BUILD THAT PART OF OUR, OUR YOUTH INITIATIVE. AND SO AGAIN, WE CAN TALK INTERNALLY AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO JUST SAY, HERE YOU DO IT. BUT AGAIN, IF IT'LL MAKE SENSE FOR US TO HAVE SOMEONE THAT CAN GET INTO THE SCHOOLS, MAKE IT THE COUNSELORS, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD PROCESS FOR STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AT THIS LEVEL. AND THE KEY IS JUST MAKING SURE WE SELL THAT TO OUR YOUTH, THAT YOU CAN GET INVOLVED AND DO MORE THINGS THAN JUST FOR EXTRA CREDIT. THIS GIVES THEM SOMETHING FOR A WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR TO DO AND GIVE BACK, AND THINGS THAT WE DECIDE WITH THE MONEYS THAT WE HAVE SET ASIDE. CAN I ASK TO HAVE THEM DO SOME THINGS THAT IMPACT THEM? SO I'M HOPING WE CAN, BUILD ON THIS, BUT ALLOW IT TO BE JUST AS A STAFF MEMBER, IF THAT LET THAT FALL ON MY SHOULDERS TO BE ABLE TO ASSIGN SOMEONE THAT YOU HAVEN'T FEEL, YOU HAVE TO DECID. I CAN DECIDE FROM THAT POINT AND COME BACK. AND WITH THE BUDGET AND WITH THE STAFF PERSON AND GO FROM THERE. SECTION SIX AND SECTION. EIGHT SEEM. KIND OF CONTRADICTORY. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S, SECTIONS TALKING ABOUT APPOINTMENT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. AND THEN EIGHT, SECTION EIGHT IS TALKING ABOUT THE, SELECTION PROCESS. WHICH PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS, BASICALLY, WHEN THE KIDS APPLY TO THE PROGRAM, THAT'S THE FIRST STEP. AND THEN THEY DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO RUN TO BE ACTUAL COMMISSIONER OR ONE OF THE A SHARES OF COMMISSIONER, WHICH LATER ON THEY WILL COME IN FRONT OF CITY, TWO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE CITY LIAISON AND THE CITY MANAGER TO DO A FORMAL INTERVIEW. AND HE WILL HAVE TO PASS A, YOU KNOW, A LEADERSHIP SCREENING, AND THEN THE CITY, THOSE THAT BOARD THAT PANEL WILL SELECT WHETHER OR NOT THAT KID HAS FOR TO BE A COMMISSIONER OR NOT. IT'S BASICALLY AN APPOINTED. THESE COMMISSIONER CHAIRS ARE APPOINTED CHAIRS BY CITY COUNCIL. SO AFTER THEY, THE CITY COUNCIL SELECT THEIR EIGHT, THEY WILL COME HERE, GET SCREENED IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS AND THERE WILL BE THE MAIN CHAIRS. OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. JUST THEN THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. BUT IT DIDN'T QUITE READ LIKE THAT. OKAY. I THINK IT'S KIND OF SECTION SIX. THE LANGUAGE IN THE SECOND, THIRD SENTENCE FOR THE RESOLUTION. ALL RIGHT. WHAT IS THIS? YEAH. THE RESOLUTION, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THE RESOLUTION TALKS ABOUT THE LIAISONS ALL THE BYLAWS.YES, I WE CAN CLARIFY THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE IF THAT'S NEEDE. OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK AS I SAID BEFORE, WE HAVE SOME YOUTH THAT HAVE EXPRESSED OVER THE LAST, AT LEAST, DEFINITELY DURING THE THREE YEARS I'VE BEEN MAYOR, INTEREST AND FINDING OUT HOW THEY CAN BE INVOLVED AND LEARNING THINGS AND, SO I THINK THIS WOULD DEFINITELY BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE THINGS THAT THE CITY DOES. I'M CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT WHAT IS GOING TO COST, NOT ONLY, FINANCIALLY, WHICH I THINK IT'LL BE WORTH, YOU KNOW, SOME COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT, BUT, THE TIMING AND SO I WOULD
[00:55:06]
SAY WE MAY NEED TO AT SOME POINT IN TIME, CONSIDER HOW TO HAVE MAYBE SOME, SOME ADDITIONAL FOLKS HELP. FROM EITHER IF IT'S NOT FROM CITY STAFF, MAYBE FROM P AND Z OR OR SOMEWHERE ELSE, TO HELP THE STAFF LIAISON BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE A LOT, JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT THE COMMISSIONER, THIS COMMISSION WILL BE RUN BY THE COMMISSION. YEAH YEAH. I JUST YOU KNOW, I GOT A LITTLE EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH KIDS, SO REMIND ME JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE, ADULT SUPPORT, FROM TIME TO TIME, BECAUSE I, WHEN I READ WHAT, WHAT'S LISTED THERE, I SEE SOME BIG THINGS HAPPENING. AND SO IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO FIND SOME MORE, ADULTS THAT HELP SUPPORT. SO WHATEVER.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THIS WAS ONE OF MY BABIES IN KILLEEN, FYI. LITERALLY THIS, THE YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION AND KILLING WAS IT WAS IT WAS MY BABY. SO IT'S ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT I FEEL MORE PROUD IN MY ENTIRE CAREER. USING BECAUSE THIS FORMER METHODIST CHURCH, BACK IN THE DAY. I THINK ONCE WE GET YOU KNOW, ANYTHING WE START. IT'S GOING TO GOING TO REQUIRE A LOT OF JUST LIKE, I WOULDN'T TEST ANYTHING WITH BECAUSE IT'S GOT TO BE AGENDAS. BECAUSE IF YOU'VE ALREADY TASKED WITH AN AGENDA, STUFF POSTING, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT I DON'T WANT TO PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A LINE OF COMMUNICATION. SO I DON'T WANT IT TO BE, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE DONE RIGHT. SO I JUST DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM IT. IF SHE'S GOT YOU GUYS GOT EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST, THERE'S OTHER DUTIES THAT SHE HAS ASSIGNED THAT SHE NEEDS TO DO. YOU KNOW, SHE HASN'T BEEN WITH THE CITY, YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS. SO IT'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH TAPPED ON ANOTHER BIG INITIATIVE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF TIME. AND I THINK WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T OVERBURDEN BECAUSE THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE SUPPORT STAFF SUPPORT OR DON'T SUPPORT. AND WE TRY TO HAVE 812 KIDS. YOU KNOW, THE RATIO IS NOT GOOD WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD RATIO WITH SUPERVISING. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A LOT. AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY YOU DO IT AND THERE'S NO OTHER SUPPORT BECAUSE THAT'S JUST ONE THING. WE DON'T WANT HIS KIDS TO GET IN OUR UNDER OUR OBLIGATION. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO SUPPORT FOR THE PARENTS ARE NOT HERE OR NOT JUST PARENTS, BUT SOMEONE FROM THE SCHOOL OR SOMEONE ELSE THAT IS TIED TO THE CITY TO MAKE SURE. BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME EXPECTATIONS THAT WE JUST DON'T HEAR. YOU DO IT WRONG WITH 22 KIDS. AND THEN THERE'S OTHER DUTIES THAT WE HAVE TO DO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE US NOT TO FALL SHORT ON THAT. SO I SAY WE CAN PROCEED KNOWING THAT IF THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES, I WILL BRING IT BACK AND SAY, THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK, IT'S GOING TO NEED SOME MORE SUPPORT BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD THING. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE JUST DON'T PUT TOO MUCH ON HERE BECAUSE IT'S GOT TO BE A BALANCE. THEY GOT TO HAVE MEETING CONSTRUCTION WELL, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. THAT'S WHY I WAS I'M JUST RECOMMENDING LIKE ON THE ONSET WITH THE, WHAT'S THE YOUNG LADY THAT ALWAYS COMES TO OUR EVENTS? IT'S SORT OF SOMETHING. WHAT IS IT? SHE HAS TO SAY SHE HAD. SHE WAS A TEEN. SHE HAD A TABLE. YOU.
MARGARET MARGARET. MARGARET. MARGARET. SHE HAD THAT TAPE, THAT BOTTOM TIER TABLE, I THINK SO, YEAH. SO YEAH. SO I'M NOT SAYING HER. I'M JUST SAYING ENTITIES LIKE THAT THAT ARE THAT ARE SERVICE ORIENTED, SEEING HOW MAYBE THEY WERE A PARTNER OR DO SOME TYPE OF WILL HELP WITH THIS PART. THEY ALL FALL UNDER THE CITY STAFF IN SOME TYPE OF CAPACITY. YEAH. I'M JUST I'M 100% FORWARD. I JUST KNOW THAT Y'ALL GET BUSY, SO JUST, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER Y'ALL CAN FIGURE OUT TO GET ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. I HAVE WAYS IN MY IN MY MIND OR WHAT I THINK WILL MAKE IT WORK, BUT I TRUST THAT TO YOU ALL. I THINK YOUR INPUT IS IMPORTANT IN COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT HAVE DEALT WITH YOU FROM CHURCH TO OTHER NONPROFITS, TO TRY TO HELP. I MEAN, GIVE US SOME FRAMEWORK BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T DEAL WITH KIDS EVERY DAY, IT COULD IT COULD REQUIRE US TO MAKE SURE WE SET IT UP TO SUCCEED AND NOT FAIL. AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE ALL THE INPUT FROM YOU, FROM THE COUNCIL AND HELP GUIDE US TO TRY TO GET OTHER SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT TO BE INVOLVED MORE. SO. AND IF THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, HELP THEM ESTABLISH A TRACK RECORD OF WORKING WITH US IN DIFFERENT INITIATIVES LIKE THIS. YEAH, I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT MIND
[01:00:05]
HELPING IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. SO JUST REACH OUT TO ME AND YEAH, I'M THERE. I WOULD BE AVAILABLE AS WELL. THERE WE GO. AND JUST WANT TO THROW OUT THERE, THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A PROGRAM ADOPTED BY HTML WHEN IT COMES TO KIDS AND ADULTS, UNLESS THEY'RE LIKE CITY STAFF AND CITY BACKGROUND CHECK AND IT'S UNDER CITY'S PAYCHECK, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE, YOU KNOW, DO WE CAN FUND THE PROGRAM, CAN PARTNER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO DO EVENTS AND DO VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS AND ALL THAT, BUT WITHIN BOTH WITHIN THE, PROGRAM DAY TO DAY OR PLANNING OR WORKING WITH THE KIDS, IT DOES HAVE TO BE CITY STAFF, CITY COUNCIL UNDER THE CITY. RIGHT.AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT AT THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ASKED. WE JUST GOT TO GIVE THEM A FRAMEWORK AND HOW THEIR TIME WOULD BE ENGAGING, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE THEM DO SOMETHING. 17, 15, 16 HOURS A WEEK OR A MONTH, WHATEVER IT IS, WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THEIR COMMITMENT IS NOT GOING TO BE, WE DON'T WANT TO BURDEN THEM WITH, WITH, WITH ANYTHING THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT. SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU LEARN FROM THE OTHER COMMUNITY TO SHARE WITH US AS A STAFF, WE'LL MAKE SURE WE DON'T. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A MISGUIDED, INVOLVEMENT WITH THE COUNCIL AT THAT LEVEL BECAUSE THEN IT REQUIRES TIME AND SCHEDULING AND JUST GIVE IT THE YEAR GETS REALLY BUSY AND HAS BEEN BUSY, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AS THE MAYOR'S SAYING, WE HAVE GOOD CHECKS AND BALANCE IN PLACE SO WE CAN HAVE, COMMITTED, SO COMMITMENT TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM SUCCEED. OTHER QUESTIONS. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I DID SPEAK TO YOLANDA, BUT MR. MOORE AS WELL. BUT, I THINK IT'S INTERESTING IN MY POSITION, I DID SPEAK JUST TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION. SPOKEN TO OTHER CITIES OR OTHER CITY SECRETARIE, IT'S PRETTY NEW. SO I'VE BEEN PICKING, YOU KNOW, THE BRAINS AND SEE WHAT THEY THINK. IT IS A LOT OF WORK. I DID VOLUNTEER TO ASSIST IF NEEDED. JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A NEW SKILL FOR ME AS WELL. SO I AM OPEN TO, YOU KNOW, JUST TO KIND OF LOOK AND SEE HOW IT'S HOW THE PROCESS GOES, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH CITY COUNCIL. AND THAT KIND OF FALLS UNDER MY DEPARTMENT. BUT MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO LIMIT THE GRADE, FOR MAYBE JUNIOR AND SENIOR OR SOMETHING TO START SMALL, BECAUSE THAT CAN ALWAYS BE CHANGED LATER ON, THE OLD IT'S TOTALLY UP TO YOU, I DON'T KNOW, BUT THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION. JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT IN THERE. THANK YOU. MAYOR. OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS, THOUGHTS? FOR ME, I WOULD SAY TO IF YOU DON'T WANT EIGHTH GRADERS, THAT'S FINE. BUT FROM FRESHMAN UP I WOULD SAY TO HAVE IT THERE BECAUSE WHAT IT IS, IS THAT YOU'RE ELDERS ARE TRAINING YOUR YOUNGERS TO TAKE THEIR SPOTS. SO IF YOU JUST HAVE JUNIORS AND SENIORS, THEN YOU'RE RUNNING WITH A LIMITED POOL AND IT'S NOT GIVING THE YOUNGERS THE EXPERIENCE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE UP AND SEE THE PRODUCTION OF THEIR HARD WORK. THERE ARE ALSO OTHER CITIES THAT WHAT THEY DO, THEY LIMIT THE GRADE OF COMMISSIONERS WHO IS HOLDING CHAIRS. BUT I STILL ALLOW OTHER LOWER GRADE LIKE 8 OR 9, TEN TO BE PART OF THE PROGRAM. THEY JUST CANNOT RUN TO BE COMMISSIONERS.
COMMISSIONERS ONLY CAN RUN BY, YOU KNOW, TEN, 11 GRADES. THAT'S MAYBE WHAT MISS DELIA HAS SEEN IN OTHER, CITIES BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I HAVE SEEN BEFORE, BUT AGAIN, IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS, HOW YOU WANT TO LIMIT IT. NO, I CAN AGREE WITH THAT. SO WE GOT, A GOOD GROUP OF DIFFERENT IDEAS, ONE STRAIGHT, EIGHT THROUGH 12, ANOTHER JUNIORS AND SENIORS AS THE ONLY JUNIORS AND SENIORS ONLY ANOTHER IS, JUNIORS AND SENIORS. SENIORS AS THE COMMISSIONERS. AND THEN,
[01:05:04]
THE OTHER GRADE LEVELS COULD BE. WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S THE TECHNICAL TERM AGAIN? RESOURCE RESERVE MEMBERS. RESOURCE MEMBERS. OKAY. AND THEN, YEAH. WELL, I THINK A FEW THINGS. ONE, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU START THE PROGRAM AND DO IT WELL. SO TYPICALLY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT PILOT PROGRAMS OR JUMP STARTING SOMETHING, YOU MAKE SURE YOU, YOU SET IT UP FOR THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF SUCCESS POSSIBLE. AND SO, I WOULD I PERSONALLY AGREE WITH HAVING, ENSURING THAT YOU HAVE, MORE MATURE STUDENTS AS WELL AS COMMISSIONERS, WHO ARE GONNA DEFINITELY BE COMMITTED, SOMETIMES THE YOUNGER KIDS, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY BOUNCE AROUND A LITTLE BIT WITH WHAT THEY, WHAT THEY'RE COMMITTED TO. AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT FIND SOME GOOD JUNIORS AND SENIORS IN THOSE GOVERNMENT, US HISTORY CLASSES, THAT MY, MY AUTO LAND. BUT. WE'LL TAKE SOME MOTIONS AND, ONE MORE COMMENT. YES. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I LIKE THE BRAND THAT HAS OUR LOGO WITH THE NAME OF IT WRITTEN OUT. I LIKE THAT ONE. IT ACTUALLY SAYS YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL.THIS ONE. YES. OKAY YEAH, WHICH ONE OF THESE? ONE. DO YOU GUYS LIKE FOR THE ICON? I DON'T THINK SHE LIKES THE. YEAH THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS SAYING AT ALL. BUT THAT'S THAT'S NOT UP TO ME.
THAT'S MY THAT'S THEIR ACRONYM FOR IT. SO THEY'RE JUST THEY'RE JUST ICONS. SO I THINK THAT FIRST ONE WOULD BE THE MAIN ONE. AND SMALL JUST A YAK WOULD BE JUST THE ICON THAT WE HAVE. OUR M FOR THE MINOR. YEAH OKAY. OKAY. THERE WE GO. PLEASE GOT I. GOT ALL RIGHT, SO, I JUST WENT THROUGH THE DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MOTION AND WILL ENTERTAIN MOTIONS, AND THEY'LL PASS WHAT THEY WANT, AND WE'LL KEEP GOING TILL WE GET SOMETHING, MAYOR, IN OUR MOTION, DO WE ALSO MAKE THE SUGGESTION THAT WE'LL LEAVE THE, CITY APPOINTED PERSON UP TO THE CITY MANAGER? THAT CAN BE AN EMOTIONAL. YOU CAN NAME SOMEONE OR DESIGNATE THIS, THE CITY MANAGER AS THE PERSON TO APPOIN. MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024, DASH 20, CREATING THE MAYNARD YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION.
ESTABLISHING THE MAYNARD YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION PROGRAM. APPROVING BRANDING, APPROVING BYLAWS, APPROVING AN APPLICATION PROCESS, SELECTING AND. I WOULD SAY HAVING 11TH THROUGH 12TH GRADE AS THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE LOWER GRADES AS, RESOURCE MEMBERS AND DESIGNATING THE CITY MANAGER TO, SELECT THE CITY STAFF LIAISON AND PROVIDING FOR RELATED MATTERS. WELL, MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MORENO, IS THERE A SECOND? WHICH BRANDING? OH, THE FIRST ONE, THE MAYNARD YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION. THE ONE SPELLED OUT. AND THEN THE ICON WOULD BE WITH THE YAK ON THE SIDE OF THE MAIN LOGO. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILMEMBER REYNOLDS. SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE IN THE, QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION. I HAVE A QUESTION. YES MA'AM. THE WAY THAT THE MOTION WAS READ, FOR THE MEMBERS THAT GET A CHANCE TO THE OTHER MEMBERS, IS THAT JUST FROM EIGHTH TO 12TH, OR WAS THAT ALL CRAIG'S TO 12? THAT COULD BE.
[01:10:09]
THE MOTION THAT WAS CURRENTLY MADE WAS EIGHT THROUGH 12, WITH THE OFFICERS BEING 11TH AND 12TH. IF YOU WANTED ALL GRADES, THEN THAT WOULD BE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT OR AN AMENDMENT. GOOD QUESTION. OTHER QUESTIONS. WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BRING BACK A, I GUESS A PROPOSED BUDGET, LIKE RECRUITMENT TIMELINES? I DON'T REALLY LIKE TO SAY THAT JUST BECAUSE I DO KNOW ANOTHER HOUSE. WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO STUFF, BEING LOCKED IN WITH ALL THE IN THE SCHOOL YEAR.EVERYBODY'S COMING BACK NEXT WEEK TO PLAN TO FINISH PLANNING OUT THE YEAR. SO I THINK THOSE TWO THINGS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE I THINK Y'ALL CAN COME BACK WITH THAT. WELL, THE STARTING OF RECRUITMENT CAN START AS EARLY AS YOU GUYS APPROVE THESE, THE BUDGET WILL BE MR. MORE WHEN WE'RE READY. IS IT START? WHEN'S THAT FIRST FOR YOU? SEPTEMBER. OCTOBER OCTOBER. WHEN ARE WE KICKING OFF? THIS YEAR. WITHOUT THE PLAN, FOR BUDGET, WE WERE GOING TO PUT IT INTO THE NEW FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, WE WOULD HAVE TO RECRUIT THIS YEAR, I WAS PLANNING TO START RECRUITING, S, SO WE WOULD NEED TO FIND SOMETHING FOR THIS YEAR. WE NEED FUNDS OUT OF THIS YEAR FOR A KICKOFF, AND THEN WE WOULD NEED A STANDARD BUDGET, JUST FOR BASIC STUFF TO KICK IT OUT THIS YEAR. NOW, THINK IF WE GET SOMETHING ESTABLISHED AND LOOKING AT THE REST OF THE TO SEPTEMBER 30TH, WE AS WE START DISCUSSING BUDGET ITEMS WITH YOU, WE'VE USED THE ADVISORY COUNCIL WOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, A LINE ITEM THAT WE CAN DISCUSS. AND THEN LOOKING AT THE TIMELINE AND THE BUILD OUT, WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY IF THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVITY TO WHERE WE'D HAVE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT 100,000 IN THERE, OR YOU CAN JUST START OUT WITH MAYBE 25 AND SEE HOW FAR THEY GET YOU. THEN ONCE WE GET TO JANUARY, FEBRUARY, IF IT'S WHERE WE'RE AVERAGING ABOUT 2 TO $3000 WORTH OF ACTIVITIES A MONTH, IT SHOULD GET US A PRETTY GOOD PLACE. BUT IF WE HAVE TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT FOR SOME THINGS THAT THEY BRING BACK TO BE MORE TO FINISH OFF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE CAN HAVE IT. I'M SORRY. YEAH, THAT'D BE SOMETHING WE CAN DEFINITELY HAVE THAT CONVERSATION JANUARY 11TH TIMEFRAME SO WE CAN FINISH THE SCHOOL YEAR OUT WITH WITH WHAT'S PROGRAMED OR WHAT FUNDING WOULD BE NEEDED TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL END OF THE YEAR FOR THEM? DEFINITELY. FROM THAT. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT, WHEN I WAS THERE, WE STARTED WITH 25,000. AND AS THE YEARS PASSED, BY THE TIME I LEFT, IT WAS 45,000. BUT THE YEAR OF 2022, WHEN WE HOSTED THE YOUTH, SUMMIT, I CLEAN, THEY GOT THEIR 45,000 PLUS OUR EXTRA 15 TO THEY BE ABLE TO HOST IT AND GET ALL THE SUPPLIES AND ALL THAT. YEAH WE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HOST IT YET. DON'T DON'T GET EXCITED. WE WERE NOT HOSTING HTML OR HTML YET WHEN I WAS A GOOD CONTEXT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ONE, WE'RE NOT AS BIG AS CLEAN.
BUT IT GIVES US MORE UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE'RE QUITTING MONEY. YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT, BUT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JUST A MOTION BEING. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MOVING RIGHT ALONG. ITEM NUMBER FIVE, CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON NAMING POLICY FOR CITY OWNED PROPERTY. AND FACILITIES IN THE CITY OF NAMUR.

THE RENAMING OF STREETS AND SO THAT, POLICY WAS REVISED AND PLACED IN THE BACKUP. HOWEVER, IN REVIEWING THE BACKUP POLICY, WE DID FIND SOME MINOR REVISIONS, AND I JUST WANTED TO GO OVER THAT. OR YOU HAVE BEEN PROVIDED A RED LINE, THE REVISIONS ARE TO, ARTICLE ONE, A, ARTICLE THREE, A. AND ARTICLE FIVE B. SO AGAIN, IF YOU

SO THERE ARE I REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT THAT WE DIDN'T WANT LIKE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY IF THEY WANTED TO THAT A GAS STATION COULD BE PUT THERE. AND WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL.
IF WE'RE NOT INTERESTED. NO, NO. THE WAY THE ORDINANCE, IS WRITTEN BEFORE YOU, THEY WOULD PROHIBITED, OUTRIGHT, LIKE THEY COULDN'T. THEY'D HAVE TO COME BACK AND AMEND, LIKE, BASICALLY DO ANOTHER REZONING TO, AMEND WHAT'S BEFORE YOU, C3, AS IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN IN OUR CODE, ALLOWS GAS STATIONS BY. RIGHT, ALL THE OTHER COMMERCIAL CATEGORIES REQUIRE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, BUT WITH THE PRIOR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO JUST REMOVE GAS STATIONS AS ALLOWABL.
SO THIS ONE WON'T HAVE A GAS STATION. YEAH. THERE'S NO PLANS FOR ANY GAS THERE. THE INTENDED USE IS FOR CONSTRUCTION, SALES AND RENTAL FOR, LARGE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT. GOOD SO YOU'RE WHAT I BELIEVE YOUR QUESTION WAS. WILL THIS HAVE GAS STATIONS ALLOWANCE? I KNOW. YES.
SO YEAH. SO THE SUMMARY FORM, YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO THE LAST MOTION AT THE LAST MEETING, IT CALLED IT OUT THAT C3 ALLOWED GAS STATIONS BY. RIGHT. SO THAT WAY YOU WERE AWARE THAT, BECAUS.

[01:30:06]
SAFE TRAVELS. THANK YOU. SECOND AND FINAL READING. CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION.POSSIBLE ACTION ON A, SUBMISSION OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO PERMIT UP TO 303,860FT■!S OF MEDICAL OFFICE AND MEDICAL CLINIC IN MAYNARD CROSSING BLOCK A LOT SEVEN. THEN, ONE ACRE, MORE OR LESS, AND LOCATED AT NORTHWEST INTERSECTION NINE, SEVEN, THREE FM, LONESOME TREE AND U.S. HIGHWAY 290 POINT TRACES. YES, SIR. SO THIS ONE, IT IS FOR ONE OF THE SPECIFIC PAD SITES, ALONG 290, WHERE THERE'S A PROPOSED CHIPOTLE. SO IT'S A TWO TENANT BUILDING AND ONE HALF IS PROPOSED TO BE THAT CHIPOTLE. AND THE OTHER HALF IS FOR THIS MEDICAL USE IS BEING REQUESTED. I BELIEVE IT'S PROPOSED TO BE A DENTAL OFFICE. NOTHING'S BEEN FILED REGARDING THAT. BUT SOME OF THE DOCUMENTS HAVE THAT INCLUDED, THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THE WHAT WAS APPROVED FOR RETAIL CONNECTIONS. THEY GOT 7500FT■!S. SO THIS WOUD BE LIKE OVERALL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. ADDITIONAL TO THAT, BUT JUST SPECIFIC TO THE ONE LOT, BUT COMBINED LIKE THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT IS 426,000FTS OF COMMERCIAL USE, AND THIS WITH THOSE TWO WITH THIS SPECIFIC USE IN THE PRIOR APPROVED ONE, IT REPRESENTS JUST UNDER 3% OF THE TOTAL ALLOWABLE AREA, AND SO IT WAS ALSO APPROVED ON FIRST READING. QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. CAN WE PLEASE PASS BACK PASS DOWN TO OUR FOLKS? SO I DID SOME DRIVING OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, AND I WAS NOTICING, LIKE OTHER ECONOMIC AREAS AND THEY'RE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE PUTTING THERE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE NOTICED IS, THERE'S EVERY NOW AND THEN A MAYBE UNINTENTIONAL THIS IS GOOD FOR MINOR AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE THAT OUR DEVELOPERS AND EVERYONE AROUND US IS ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT BUILDING FOR TOMORROW. BECAUSE THE, THE SHOPPING CENTERS ARE THE ECONOMIC CENTERS THAT HAVE, INCREASED IN NUMBER THAT I'VE SEEN, HAVE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL STUFF THAT POPS IN THERE, OVER TIME, TEAR DOWN. AND THEY TYPICALLY ARE MORE, IDENTIFIABLE IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR THAN THEY ARE IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE NOT IN PUBLIC. AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR BIG ECONOMIC, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT SPACE. AND SO, WE HAVE NOW ABOUT TEN, ALMOST 11,000FT■!S NOW, OF MEDICAL IN THAT AREA. AND IT'S RANDOM, MEDICAL THINGS. IT DOESN'T SOLVE AN AGENDA FOR US, BECAUSE OUR BIG OUR BIG AGENDA PUSH WAS FOR REGIONAL HOSPITAL AND SO WE'RE NOT CLOSING THE GAPS THERE. BUT WE ARE WE DID GIVE UP 11,000FT■S FOR, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE SALES TAX, HAVE PROPERTY TAXES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT REGARDLESS FOR THAT AREA. SO, JUST WANT TO KEEP THAT IN MIND, THAT'S, THAT'S WHY WE MADE SOME DECISIONS ON EARLY ON A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ABOUT, YOU KNOW, A MAJOR ENTITY THAT WANTED TO BE IN THAT SPOT. THIS WAS, A BIG CORNER, AND IT HAS A WHOLE IT HAS A LONG TERM FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS. SO WE CAN, ME PERSONALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO HOPE THAT THIS IS THE LAST ONE, AND THEN AS THESE FADE OUT, THAT WE GO BACK TO SALES TAX, BECAUSE THAT THAT WAS THAT'S WHY WE DID EVERYTHING WE DID. THAT'S WHY WE APPROVED THE 380 LIKE WE DID, BECAUSE THAT WAS OUR FULL INTENTION. SO ALL RIGHT, I'M DONE. ALSO, LOTS OF QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, MOTION. AND WHY ARE WE GOT APPLIED TO THE PUBLIC OUT THERE? THE REASON WHY I'M SAYING THAT IS BECAUSE WE GOT TO DO PROGRAMS AND WE CAN'T DO PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITY OFF OF AVALON, PROPERTY TAXES. WE NEED OUR SALES TAX DOLLARS TO COME BACK INTO THE CITY SO WE CAN DO THE COMMUNITY PROGRAMS THAT WE NEED
[01:35:04]
TO DO. SO LOOKING OUT FOR OUR FUTURE AT THE COUNTY. OKAY, SO I AGREE WITH YOU. I THINK WE NEED MORE SALES TAX. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY WE'RE PUSHING IT OUT BECAUSE WE'RE MONEY HUNGRY IS WE ARE A COMMUNITY HUNGRY I MEAN TO NEEDS THINGS AND, AT SOME POINT IN TIME WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO CERTAIN THINGS WITH TRANSPORTATION AND THAT MONEY NEEDS TO COME FROM THE SALES TAXES. SO I AGREE. AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, CITY COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE SECOND AND FINAL READING OF THE SUBDIVISION OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT UP TO 3860FT■!S OF MEDICAL OFFICE AND MEDICAL CLINIC AND MAYNARD CROSSING BLOCK.
