Grout: MADAM PRESIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK SHELLY WRAP, SHE IS THE CEO OF THE NEW MEXICO DWREEM FROM, REGARDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS MONTH. MS. WRAP IS A WONDERFUL ADVOCATE FOR OUR YOUTH THAT ARE SADLY TRAFFICKED IN OUR CITY AND SHE IS GOING TO WHICH US SOME UPDATES INFORMATION, AND THEN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCILLOR GROUT. I APPRECIATE BEING HERE. I'M HONORED TO BE HERE THIS EVENING TO STAND BEFORE YOU. JANUARY, NATIONALLY, IS KNOWN AS HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION MONTH. THIS IS PROMOTED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. AND I HAVE BEEN SO THRILLED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS REALLY TAKEN THIS ON AS AN ISSUE. AND LOOKING AT PROVIDING AWARENESS AROUND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND WHY WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT. FOR TONIGHT, I DID HAVE ONE SLIDE, SINCE I'VE ONLY GOT TWO MINUTES, RIGHT, I HAVE ONE SLIDE THAT SHOWS SOME OF THE STATISTICS AND THINGS WE ARE FACE HEARING AS A STATE AND SPECIFICALLY WITHIN ALBUQUERQUE. FIRST THICK I WANT TO SAY IS HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS THE INDUCEMENT BY FORCE IT FRAUD OR COERCION FOR COMMERCIAL SEX. OR FOR FORCED LABOR. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT CHILDREN AND LOOK AT MINOR, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE THAT INDUCE MEANT IF THEY ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 17. AND SADLY, WHAT WE SEE WITHIN OUR CITY IS A NUMBER OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS CONTINUING TO GROW. SO WITH NEW MEXICO DREAM CENTER, OUR GOAL IS TO LOOK AT HUMAN TRAFFICKING THROUGH A 365-DEGREE LENS. THAT MEANS WE LOOK AT PREVENTION, THE PUSH AND PULL FACTORS OF HUMAN TRAFFIC FORTH YOUNG PEOPLE, WE LOOK AT THE AFTERCARE ASPECTS, AND THAT IS OUR MISSION. WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER 30 HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS IN OUR PROGRAMMING WITH 498 PERCENT OF THEM -- 98 PERCENT OF THEM BEING UNDER THE AGE OF 20 YEARS OLD. WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE STATS, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE THESE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITHIN THE KIND OF REPORTING MECHANISMS WE HAVE WITHIN ALBUQUERQUE, AND THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT EVEN JUST OUR LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING THAT WE HAVE SEEN, AS OF FRIDAY, THERE WAS A BUST WITH A KNOWN TRAFFICKER WHO BRITS PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA, THROUGH UTAH, COLORADO, AND INTO ALBUQUERQUE, WHO WAS ARRESTED BY ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND SO WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. WITHIN THAT BUST, THERE WERE TWO 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS FROM CALIFORNIA WHO WERE IDENTIFIED. BOTH THESE GIRLS THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE ENTERING INTO SOME SORT OF A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS TRAFFICKER AND WERE WILLING TO KIND OF RUN AWAY FROM THEIR SITUATIONS THINKING THEY WERE GOING TO GET A BETTER LIFE WHAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IS THE TRAFFICKER WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WOULD LEAD THEM INTO THIS SITUATION. WHEN WE LOOK BACK A LITTLE FURTHER, WE SEE AT THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER, THERE WAS AN OPERATION THAT NETTED 20E PEOPLE WHO WERE TRYING TO PURCHASE SEX HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA, AND WE LOOK BACK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, EVEN, TO A MULTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION THAT WAS PART OF THE FBI HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE THAT NETTED A LOT OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING PERPETRATORS. WITHIN THAT, ONE OF THOSE INTERPRET OPERATORS WAS A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER HERE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA. SO AS WE LOOK AT WHAT PREVENTION IS, AND WHEN WE NEED TO KNOW, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WINDS AWARENESS IS A HUGE PART OF WHAT WE ARE FACING HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, AND PART OF THAT AWARENESS IS THE UNDERSTAND THAT THE MOST PREYED UPON POPULATION FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING, SPECIFICALLY SEX TRAFFICKING, ARE MINERS. AND SPECIFICALLY, OUR MINORS THAT ARE UNHOUSED AND ON THE STREET. SO IF WE LOOK AT THIS ADDRESSING THIS WITH ALBUQUERQUE AND LOOK AT WHAT KIND OF SOLUTIONS WE CAN PROVIDE IF WE LOOK AT GOING UPSTREAM AND FOCUSING ON THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE, BY ATTRITION WE ARE EFFECTING ALL OF THE POPULATION. THANK YOU O SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU, MS. WRAP. WE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU. >> AS I CAN TELL, I'M A NEWBIE. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO. WE PREER SURE WE SHALL EIGHT YOU. WASN'TED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT I RECEIVED MY E-MAIL TODAY FROM HR THAT SAID FOR AWARE NEXT I'M GATE FULL, AND I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN IT AND LOOK INTO IT AND LEARN. WE PASSED A RESOLUTION EARLIER IN THE YEAR. ITS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT AS CITY EMPLOY EARS, WE ARE AWARE, BECAUSE WE OFTEN TIMES CAN SEE THINGS, AND WE CAN SEE THINGS, AND THE MORE THAT WE LEARN, AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP. THAT'S IMPORTANT. SO THANK YOU, HR. I KNOW WE GOT OUR INFORMATION, AS WELL, FROM ADMINISTRATION, AND THEN OUR COUNCIL STAFF IS ETHNICITY WORKING ON GETTING INFORMATION AND FLYERS AND SO FORTH. THAT'S COMING TOGETHER NICELY, TOO. COUNCIL HORSE, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Sanchez: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. REAL QUICK QUESTION. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. HOWD WE ARE DOING WITH THE AWARENESS. ARE WE DOING ANY KIND OF BILLBOARDS, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? BECAUSE THIS WEEKEND, I WAS DRIVING NEAR CENTRAL, AND I LITERALLY COULD TELL SOMEBODY WAS DOING HUMAN TRAFFICKING HCH SHE WAS GETTING BEAT UP IF SHE DIDN'T DO THE RIGHT THING, SHE DIDN'T PAY EITHER THE DRUG DEALER OR PIMP OR SOMEONE THE RIGHT MONEY. AND THEY BEAT HER UP. I CALLED 9 YOU 11, BUT OF COURSE BY THE TIME 911 RESPONDS, THE ACTION IS OVER W I STILL LEFT INFORMATION. I STILL LEFT PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS. BUT I DON'T THINK THEY ARE STOPPING. I THINK ONCE THAT PRIORITY CALL IS NO LONGER A PRIORITY CALL, WE WILL NEVER MAKE CONTACT WITH THEM. SO IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN SUGGEST SO WE CAN HELP YOU WITH IN REFERENCE TO TRYING TO GET A LITTLE QUICKER RESPONSE, AND MAYBE A SPONSOR A PHONE NUMBER OR SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO CALL YOU AND MAYBE IF WE DON'T GET YOU THERE OR A POLICE OFFICER THERE, WE CAN GET SOMEBODY TO HELP OUT. >> ABSOLUTELY. I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION. AND I BEESH EIGHT THAT YOU NOTICED THAT AND YOU WERE WILLING TO MAKE THAT KIND OF CALL. THE POLICY ADVISE THEARS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ABOUT THIS ARE WORKING HARDEN AT FINDING APPLICABLE MATERIAL TO PUT UP IN PUBLIC SPACES TO RAISE AWARENESS AROUND THAT. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT 20 UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF RESOURCES OUT ESPECIALLY IF SOMETHING THAT'S A VIOLENT ENCOUNTER, YOU HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE FIRST, BECAUSE ANY OF THE OTHER AGENCIES ARE NOT ABLE TO RESPOND IN THE SAME WAY THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT IS. BUT WHEN WE DO GET CALLS, OR TIPS ABOUT SOMETHING IN THAT AREA, WE SPECIFICALLY AT NEW MEXICO DREAM CENTER HAVE A VERY ROBUST OUTREACH PROGRAM. WHAT WE DO IS IT GO TO THAT AREA AND WE DO OUTREACH, TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN LOCATER FIND THAT VIC AT THIS TIME. SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PHONE NUMBERS RESOURCE. >> THE FIRST IS THAT THERE IS THE NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING HOTLINE. AND THAT IS A NUMBER THAT CAN BE USED ANYWHERE IN ANY STATE. AND IN LOOKING AT THAT, YOU CAN BE IN CALIFORNIA AND SEE SOMETHING AS A PERSON FROM NEW MEXICO, AND THEY WILL LOOK FOR RESOFERLSES IN CALIFORNIA. SO THEY OPERATE ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL. WE ALSO HAVE A LOCAL THAT IS FUNDED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE HOTLINE AND THAT ONE IS A TALKER TEXT HOTLINE. 505-GET-THREE. AND IT IS RUN OUT OF SANTA FE. BUT IT IS APPLICABLE FOR THE WHOLE STATE. AND THEN AT NEW MEXICO DREAM CENTER, WE ALSO HAVE A 24/7 HOTLINE. WE ARE MUCH MORE LOCALIZED. AND OUR NUMBER IS 505-504-1301. AND THAT ONE, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FANCY LETTERS. WE RAN OUT OF THEM. BUT THAT IS LOCAL SPOFNLS AND IT IS MANNED 24/7. IT IS ALSO TALK OR TEXT. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE HAVE SEEN A LARGE UP TICK RIGHT NOW IN A LOT OF PRES FUSION UP AND DOWN 12R58. I HAVE NOTICED A HUGE INCREASE. AND I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF NEED FOR YOUR SERVICE RIGHT NOW. >> ABSOLUTELY. WE WORK HARD AT TRYING TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES FOR THE DIFFERENT VICTIMS THAT ARE OUT THERE. WITH NEW MEXICO DREAM CENTER, WE REALLY WORK AT ADDRESSING THAT YOUNG HOMELESS POPULATION, THOSE YOUNG UNHOUSED PEOPLE, TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN STEER THEM INTO SERVICES BEFORE IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN'T GET THEMSELVES OUT OF, AS WELL. WE HAVE A DROP IN CENTER LOCATED OFF OF CENTER AND ZUNI, A HALF A BLOCK NOT, AND THAT'S OUR DROP IN CENTER. WITH OUTREACH, THAT'S A GREAT PLACE TO ACCEPTED PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE HAVE VICTIM ADVOCATES, ACE WORKERS THAT ARE THERE TO HELP PROVIDE THE RESOURCES AS WELL. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO, AND I KNOW YOUR DROP OFF CENTER IS IN MY DISTRICT AND I'M DEFINITELY UTILIZING THOSE RESOURCES AND I AGREE, THERE IS A HUGE UP TICK. THESE ARE HELPFUL, TO BE ABLE TO, YES, I STOP AND TALK TO THE LADIES. >> I APPRECIATE THAT, BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMANS AND IT IS -- >> Coun. Rogers: AND A LOT OF THEM ARE NOT THERE OF THEIR OWN VOLITION. DO YOU OFFER TRAINING? I'M EX-SIGHTED THAT OUR CITY STAFF HEAFS TRACH WORK THOUSAND CAME UP IN OUR MOTEL VOUCHER WORK GROUP WITH THE HOTELLERS, WHO SAID, WE WOULD LOVE THIS TYPE OF TWRAIPG. DO YOU OFFER THAT TYPE OF TRAINING FOR BUSINESSES? >> WE DO. WE HAVE TWO GRANTS THROUGH VICTIMS OF CRIME, THESE ARE FEDERAL GRANTS, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE TRAINING COMPONENTS. ANY OF THE TRAINING WE DO IS ACTUALLY FREE. WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR THAT. WITH THAT, WE LOVE TO WORK WITH LOCAL HOTELLERS. WE HAVE CON-SOME TRAINING ALREADY WITH THE GAL LA GROUP, WHICH WORK WITH AFTER LOT OF DIFFERENT HOTELLERS, AND THEN WE HAVE ACTUALLY DONE SOME TRAINING UP IN SANTA FE, AS WELL. SO WE DO HAVE OBC APPROVED TRAINING FOR ANYBODY IN THE WHO IS MY AT THAT TIME STRIRKS AS WELL AS OTHER -- HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY, AS WELL AS OTHER BUSINESSES. AND WITH THAT, WE HAVE HUMAN TRAFFICKING 101. THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT HUMAN TRAFFICKING 101 IS IT PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE FOUR MOST COMMON ENTRIES INTO SEX OFFENDER TRAFFICKING IN ALBUQUERQUE, AND THAT IS HAVING VERY 4R08. SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHEN WE SEE SOMETHING, HOW THAT HAPPENING. A LOT OF TIMES, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE TRAFFICKING OF YOUTH, PEOPLE DO YOU UNDERSTAND. HOW CAN THIS 16 YEAR OLD -- HOW CAN WE HAVE TWO 14 YEAR OLD TRAFFICKING VICTIMS HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE? SO THAT TRAINING REALLY GOES INTO THOSE DIFFERENT MODELS SO PEOPLE DO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT HAPPENS, AND THEN THAT BRINGS AWARENESS SO THEY CAN PROTECT FAMILY BUT THEN THEY THEY CAN ALSO TALK TO OTHERS ABOUT THAT. >> Coun. Rogers: ONE MORE QUESTION. DID YOU HELP WITH OUR TRAINING? >> I DID NOT, BUT I'M TRYING TO GET INTO THAT. ITS THE SAME. AGAIN, BECAUSE IT IS VERY LOCALIZED AND AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN APPROVED THROUGH THE OFFICE FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME. >> Coun. Rogers: IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU LOOK AT OUR TRAINING, AND SEE HOW WE ARE DOING. LAST QUESTION, MADAM PRESIDENT. DO YOU PROVIDE TRAINING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT? >> SO WE ARE PART OF A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TASK FORCES AND WE HAVE PROVIDED TRAINING FOR LUMENT. WE ALSO CO-TRAIN WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, WITH BCSO, THEY ARE ALSO PART OF THE FBI TASK FORCE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, SO WE CO-PRESENTED, FOR EXAMPLE AT THE FENTANYL CONFERENCE THAT WAS BACK IN OCTOBER. >> Coun. Rogers: WHAT WORK DO YOU DO WITH AD? >> WE HAVE WORKED PREVIOUSLY WITH THE HIGH RISK AN VICTIMS UNIT AND WE WORK WITH THEIR VICTIM ADVOCATES SPECIFICALLY MANY HAVE WORKED WITH SERGEANT ANDREW JARAMILLO AS WELL. AND, WE WOULD GO THEM CURRENTLY OBJECT SOME LABOR TRAFFICKING INITIATIVES THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK WITH, AS WELL. WE ARE VERY INVOLVED IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> YOU'RE VERY WELCOME. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MS. WRAP, FOR BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> Coun. Bassan: MOVING ON ADMINISTRATIVE Q AND A, COUNCIL HORSE, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION? I'LL START WITH COUNCILLOR ROGERS. >> Coun. Rogers: MINE IS JUST A FOLLOW-UP. THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS LAST TIME AROUND, SAVINGS WITHIN APD, AND I KNOW WE HAVE THE NUMBER WRONG, BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE CORRECT NUMBER. SO I WANT TO FOLLOW-UP TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY UPDATE TO THE DEBATE ON SAVINGS IN AD. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, WE CAN FOLLOW-UP WITH YOU. WE DIDN'T TAKE IT IS A A DIRECT QUESTION: I'M NOT DEFERRING FROM THAT, WE WILL GET YOU THAT. I THINK IT WAS OF IT WAS A REFERENCE TO INFORMATION. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Coun. Sanchez: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS JUST ALONG THE SAME AVENUE OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN REFERENCE TO THAT PRESENTATION. WHAT ARE WE DOING RIGHT NOW WITH AD, DOING RIGHT NOW, IN REFERENCE TO COMBATING THE LARGE AMOUNT OF PROSTITUTION WE ARE SEEING OUT ON THE STREETS. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR SANCHEZ, NOT KNOWING THAT WE WERE HAVING A PRESENTATION AND NOT HAVING THAT QUESTION, I DON'T HAVE APD HERE TO PROVIDE THAT UPDATE FOR YOU ALL. I KNOW THAT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO BRIEF COUNCIL RELATED TO ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES THEY HAVE GOING ON RELATED TO RECENT ACTIVITIES AND DOLLARS WERE OCCURRED THAT WERE SHARED IN THE MEDIA, AS WELL AS THEIR ONGOING TACK PLANS AND OTHER PLANS. >> Coun. Sanchez: SO WHY ISN'T APD HERE TODAY? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR SANCHEZ, WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE. AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE QUESTIONS DEOWE WE RECEIVE IN ADVANCE AND HAVE ADDITIONAL TIME. SO RATHER THAN FILLING THE ROOM WITH PEOPLE TO RECEIVE QUESTIONS THEY DIDN'T PREPARE FOR, WE HAVE BEEN MORE EFFICIENT SO WE CAN ASSURE THE RIGHT NOTIFICATION ARE IN THE ROOM. >> Coun. Sanchez: THANK YOU. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. MY QUESTION IS, I HAD SENT YOU A TEXT AND WHRET YOU KNOW THAT I WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING YOU SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OID REPORT THAT IS BEFORE US ABOUT THE GRANT MONEY FOR THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS. SO A FEW MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS, I HAVE A FEW, IN THE REPORTERS IT SAYS THAT PREMIUM K WAS FOR THE RETENSION OF TEACHERS TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE TEACHERS AND THE STAFF. HOW MANY TEACHERS WERE THERE AT THE TIME, AND DID ALL OF THOSE TEACHERS RECEIVE PREMIUM PAY? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, I DO HAVE CARLA MARTINEZ HERE, OUR ASSOCIATE CAO THAT OVERSEES THE DEPARTMENT THAT COMES FROM FCS. I WILL SAY, THE SPECIFIC DETAILS WE MAY NOT ABLE TO ANSWER TONIGHT. I HAVE HER HERE BECAUSE SHE HAS REVIEWED ALL OF THE INFORMATION IN THE REPORT AND I'M NOT SURE IF SHE HAS THAT SPECIFIC ANSWER. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, I DO NOT HAVE AT THIS MOMENT THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS, BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT, YES, ALL THE TEACHERS DID RECEIVE PREMIUM PAY. >> Coun. Grout: IF SO, DID IT EFFECT RETENTION? >> AGAIN, MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, I WOULD HAVE TO SPECIFICALLY TELL YOU, BUT WHAT I WILL TELL YOU IS, AS MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCED DHAWRG TIME, DURING COVID, THERE WERE MANY CONCERNS ABOUT INDIVIDUALS HAVING TO GO INTO WORK, SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHY THESE PAYMENTS WERE MADE. >> Coun. Grout: IN THE OIG REPORT, THE OIG WAS CONCERNED ABOUT UNAUTHORIZED ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, PARTICULARLY RELATED TO OBLIGATING THE CITY TO GRANT FUNDS. TO THAT END, THE AI, WHICH IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS, IT REQUIRED GRANT AGREEMENTS TO BE SIGNED BY THE DIRECTOR AND WHEN IN EXCESS OF $100,000, BOTH THE DIRECTOR AND THE CAO. WHEN THE AI DOESN'T SPECIFICALLY SEEK SIGNATURE AUTHORITY, THE CAO'S SIGNATURE IS REQUIRED. WHAT IS THE DIDN'T DOING TO ENSURE FUTURE GRANT APPLICATIONS AGREEMENTS AND RELATED DOCUMENTS HAVE THE PROPER SIGNATURES? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THERE WERE SIGNATURES ON ALL OF THE PROPOSED PAYMENTS, INCLUDING UP TO THE CAO, AND THAT THERE ACTUALLY WAS NOT A GRANT AGREEMENT THAT CAME FROM THE STATE. IT WAS ACTUALLY JUST THE DIRECT AGREEMENTS WE HAVE MADE THROUGH THE CITY. >> Coun. Grout: IS IT NORMAL FOR A DIRECTOR TO ATTACH PRVE'S SIGNATURE TO -- EVERYBODY'S SIGNATURES TO THESE 21 INDIVIDUAL GRANT APPLICATIONS WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE? IS THAT NORMAL. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTANDS YOUR QUESTION. >> Coun. Grout: THERE WERE 21 INDIVIDUAL GRANT APPLICATIONS, THERE WERE, THAT DIFFERENT DIRECTORS, THERE WERE 21 DIFFERENT SIGNATURES. WAS THERE A POLICY OR A DIRECTIVE OR A MEMO OF UNDERSTANDING THAT DIRECTORS REQUEST SIGN MY NAME IS SOMETHING WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE IN ADVANCE? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, I WAS NOT HERE AT THE TIME, SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHAT THE POLICIES WERE AT THE TIME, BUT ARE YOU ASKING ME IF THEY COULD SIGN FOR A GRANT WITHOUT COUNCIL'S APPROVAL? >> Coun. Grout: NO, WITHOUT JUST THE DIRECTOR -- LET ME PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY. MY POLICY ANALYST, BEFORE SHE PUTS MY SIGNATURE ON SOMETHING, SHE ALWAYS ASKS MY PERMISSION. IS IT OKAY 23 I PUT YOUR SIGNATURE ON HERE. SO I KNOW IN ADVANCE MY SIGNATURE IS GOING TO BE ON AN APPLICATION, A LETTER, AN E-MAIL WHATEVER. THAT IS MY QUESTION. IS THERE A POLICY IN PLACE, OR A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDINGS OR SOMETHING, THAT GIVES THE DIRECTION ARE -- DIRECTOR'S AUTHORITY TO PUT A SIGNATURE ON A DOCUMENT WITHOUT THAT PERSON'S KNOWLEDGE? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, I'M SORRY I, I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST TO INFER. WE OFTEN DELEGATE AUTHORITY WITHIN THE CITY. WE DO IT VERY OFFICIALLY. WITHIN OUR HIERARCHICAL ENVIRONMENT, SINCE WE HAVE A CENTER LYSED STRAIRKS WE WILL AT TIMES INSTANCES WHERE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ABOVE SOMEONE WITHIN A HIERARCHY CAN SIGNING OFF FOR INDIVIDUALS BELOW. HE IS SPECIAL WHETHER I YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SITUATIONS IN WHICH YOU'RE RUNNING, IN THIS CASE, ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATION FOR OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT STRAS RUNS THROUGH, AT THE TIME, THE DEPARTMENT. SO TO CLARIFY, I THINK I'M ANSWERING THE QUESTION FOOS WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. WE WOULD HAVE SOMEONE POTENTIALLY ABOVE SOMEONE AUTHORIZING FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE BELOW THEM. >> Coun. Grout: DO YOU HAVE THIS IN WRITING THAT YOU DO THIS? I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT. AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO BE SURPRISED THAT MY NAME IS ON A DOCUMENT WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. SO IS IT NORMAL FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO PUT SOMEBODY'S SIGNATURE ON IT, AND THEN TELL THEM THAT THEY PUT IT ON THERE? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, WE DO NOT HAVE IT IN WRITING BUT LET ME SAY ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT. THE OIG'S REPORT, WE SEE IT AT THE SAME TIME YOU DO. WE DO NOT HAVE THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND THE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS THAT ALLOW US TO SEE EVEN WHEN THEIR INVESTIGATIVE OFFICE WAS, OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR, WE ARE ANSWER GO FROM PEOPLE'S RECOLLECTION, SUBSTITUTE RES BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE WORK PAPERS. WITH THAT IN MIND, WE DO NOT DOCUMENT THE AUTHORITY THAT FOLKS ABOVE YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY. SO I WANT TO LOOK SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE SITUATION IS RELATED TO SOMEONE'S NAME, SO I CAN GIVE YOU A SPECIFIC ANSWER. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILLOR GROUT, BEFORE WE MOVE ON, THERE ARE OTHER COUNCILORS THAT HAVE QUESTIONS RELATED TO WHAT YOU WERE ASKING. COUNCILOR LEWIS. >> Pres. Lewis: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I APPRECIATE COUNCILLOR GROUT'S QUESTIONING ON SOME OF THOSE DETAILS A BUT JUST TALK ABOUT -- I THINK IT IS NECESSARY TO TALK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL. WE SET UP THE OIG THIS COUNCIL, ALONG WITH THE ADMINISTRATION, SET UP THIS OFFICE AS AN IPPED I INDEPENDENT OFFICE TO INVESTIGATE, WHETHER IT BE THROUGH ANONYMOUS TIPS, EMPLOYEES OR, WHEN THEY GET PERCEPTIONS OR ANY KIND OF IDEAS THAT WE AS A GOVERNMENT MAY NOT BE OPERATING IN A WAY THAT'S ETHICAL OR IN A WAY THAT'S JUST AND ACCORDING TO THE LAW. THAT'S WHAT THAT IS FOR. THEY DO THOSE TYPE OF INVESTIGATIONS. SO WE SET THAT UP. WE IN ORDER IT. N WE CREATED THIS OFFICE. AND THE PURPOSE IS FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT. THE PURPOSE IS FOR TRANSPARENCY. THE PURPOSE IS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE PEOPLE AS GOVERNMENT, THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS. AND IT IS IMPORTANT, I THINK, TO RESPECT THAT OFFICE IN A WAY THAT EVEN WHEN THERE'S INVESTIGATION ANSWER I KNOW THERE ARE SOME INVESTIGATIONS THAT THE OIG HAS DONE, ON THE COUNCIL, IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF WHAT WE ARE INVOLVED IN, AND WHAT'S HELPFUL; WHEN WE RESPECT THAT OFFICE, WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE INVESTIGATIONS AND FLEARN FROM IT. AND EVEN PURSUE OTHER QUESTIONS FROM HERE AUTHORITIES OF HOW SHOULD WE PROCEED KNOWING THAT WE MAY HAVE VIEW LITED A LAW, WE MAY HAVE -- VIOLATED A LAW, WE MAY HAVE. NOT FOLLOWED THE CORRECT PROCEDURES AFTER GRANT. SO LET'S GET MORE INFORMATION. AND LEASE FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TOFIX THAT IS AND QUESTION HO BACK AND MAKE IT RIGHT. THAT'S THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS. IF THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS FOR, THEN WE SHOULD CHANGE TESTIMONY IF THAT'S NOT HOW IT IS OPERATING AND WHAT IT IS GOING EFFECTIVELY, THEN WE SHOULD CHANGE THAT. BUT THE FACT IS THERE WAS THIS INVESTIGATION AND WE JUST SAW THE COMPLETED INVESTIGATION ON FRIDAY I BELIEVER, OR THURSDAY, AND WE HAVE A SYSTEM WHERE EVEN THE ADMINISTRATION IS EVEN ABLE TO YOU BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION LIKE THAT COMES OUT, THE ADMINISTRATION IS ABLE TO ACTUALLY WRITE THEIR RESPONSES TO EVERY CONCLUSION OF THE MINUTE EXPECTER GENERAL AND PUT IT HON THAT REPORT. SO THE ROAR COMES OUT FROM THE PUBLIC FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE OPERATION TO BE ABLE TO WRITE SOME COMMENTS. AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT THOSE COMMENTS WOULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE, LOOK, WE ARE GOING TO FLEARN THIS. WE ARE GOING TO SEEK SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. HOW TO CORRECT IT. BUT THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT HAPPENED HERE. WHAT HAPPENED HERE IS THIS ADMINISTRATION ABSOLUTELY SLAM BEING THE OFFICE OF THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL, DELEGITIMATE EYEING THIS OFFICE THAT WE SET UP FOR TRANSPARENCY AND SAYING, OUT OF OUR JURISDICTION, AND MAKING EXCUSES, AND NO CLEAR INDICATION OF WANTING TO LEARN FROM IT AT ALL. THAT'S MY PROBLEM WITH JUST THE WHOLE APPROACH. AND AN UNNAMED PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER FROM THE MAYOR HE'S OFFICE WHO RATHER THAN SAYS, LOOK, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE IN THIS REPORT AND LEARN FROM IT, WE ARE GOING TO SEEK SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO MAKE THIS RIGHT, WHICH I THINK WOULD HAVE BEEN THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO THAT, RATHER THAN THAT, JUST AN UNNAMED, ONE OF THE MINIONS IN THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE CHOOSES TO RIP ON THE OIG AND SAY, THIS IS BROUGHT UP BY DAN, THE CITY COUNCIL WHO SOMEHOW DAYS GRUPT LED OVER AN ELECTION FROM 8 YEARS AGO MUCH THAT'S TO THE MEDIA. THAT WAS THE RESPONSE. SO I GUESS MY ONLY -- I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. I THINK THE QUESTIONS FROM THIS POINT ON SHOULD BE FROM THE U.S. ATTORNEY. SO THAT REPORT WAS SEPTEMBER TO THE U.S. ATTORNEY. THE U.S. ATTORNEY RESPONDED AND SAID THEY ARE REVIEWING OUR INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT. AND I THINK AT THIS POINT, THE QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANSWER FRIEND THE U.S. ATTORNEY, BECAUSE THESE ARE FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT WERE INVOLVED. THERE ARE PEOPLE GOING TO JAIL ALL THE OFFER THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW FOR MISUSE OF FUNDS, SO I THINK AT THE VERY LEAST, THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD SAY, WHAT CAN WE LEARN FREE THIS, LET'S GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND FIX IT. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. >> Coun. Bassan: I'M GOING TO GO IT BACK TO COUNCILLOR GROUT TO FINISH HER FIRST FIRST. >> Coun. Grout: TWO MORE QUESTIONS. THE FORMER DIRECTER SAID NO MATHEMATICAL FORMULA WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE PAIRKS AND IT WAS DISTRIBUTED ON A NUMBER THAT WAS FAIR, AND WHAT EACH EMPLOYEE DESERVED. DOES THIS FOLLOW THE OTHER ESTABLISHED MINUTE SENSITIVES RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION POLICIES OF THE CITY? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, SO THESE PAYMENTS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY, AT THE TIME THAT THIS REPORT CAME OUT, AND TO COUNCILOR LEWIS'S COMMENTS, NUMBER ONE, THE OUT OF JURISDICTION DID NOT COME FROM THE CITY. IT ACTUALLY CAME FROM THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WHO REVIEWED THE OIG REPORT. THAT WASN'T OUR COMMENT. THAT WAS THE COMMENT MADE BY THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. THE SECOND THING IS, YES, THE DISE RESPOND FROM THE FINDINGS BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ENTIRE REPORT IN TBROCHT US. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT EMPLOYEES THEY WERE SAYING WERE IMPROPERLY PAID. SO RESPOND TO GET REPORT, WE WERE SOMEWHAT HANDICAPPED, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FULL REPORT. SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH COUNCILOR LEWIS. AS FAR AS THE PAYMENTS, AGAIN, I WASN'T HERE, E. HERE, BUT I'VE REVIEWED ALL THE OF THE TO DOCUMENTS THAT DPRAIM THE FINDINGS OF OIG. BUT THOSE PAYMENTS WERE PACED ON THE FACT THAT AT THE TIME, WE WERE IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC, AND WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE WENT HOME, THESE EMPLOYEES WERE HERE WORKING, FOUR DAYS. FOUR DAYS AFTER THE COVID PANDEMIC HIT, AND EVERYTHING WAS SHUT DOWN ACROSS THE STATE, ACROSS THE NATION, ACROSS THE WORLD. THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE HERE WORKING. AND A LOT OF IT WAS BECAUSE WE HAD ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES, LIKE LAW ENFORCEMENT, LIKE L FIREFIGHTERS RESTAURANT WORKERS, INDIVIDUALS THAT COULDN'T GO HOME, THEY WERE OPENING THOSE COMMUNITY CENTERS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT. SO I CAN'T GIVE YOU AN EXACT ANSWER FOOS WHY THERE WASN'T MATHEMATICS INVOLVED, BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THEY WERE TRYING TO SUPPORT THE EMPLOYEES THAT HAD TO BE THERE, THAT WERE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND AND HELPING AT A TIME WHEN OTHERS WERE ABLE TO GO HOME. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU. MY FINAL QUESTION, THE REPORT SAYS THE FORMER DIRECTOR REPORTED THAT PAYMENTS WERE TO INCLUDE TAXES, GROSSED UP TO INCLUDE TAXES. IS IT TYPICAL FOR THE CITY TO GROSS UP BREEM YOUS RS PAID TO CITY EMPLOYEES? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY HAD A CALCULATION AS TO WHAT THEY WANTED TO PAY THOSE INDIVIDUALS. AND GROSSED UP MEANS THEY WERE THEN STROG PAY THE TAXES TO BENEFITS, ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ON A REGULAR SPIRAL CHECK. SO THERE WAS THE NET AMOUNT, AND THEN WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN, LIKE I SAID, ALL THE TAX AS. >> Coun. Grout: DO I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. I KNOW THAT ALL AD MIN STAFF WAS WORKINGS DURING THE PANDEMIC. DID THEY GET BONUSES, ALSO? DID OTHER DEPARTMENTS? DID OTHER DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS ASK FOR BONUS FORCE THEIR STAFF? -- BONUSES FOR THEIR STAFF? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, I CAN'T TELL YOU. WE CAN CHECK, BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT ANYBODY ON OUR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. I KNOW I DIDN'T GET A BONUS FOR BEING HERE EVERY SINGLE DAY. I CAME UP HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PANDEMIC, AND I ASSURE YOU I DIDN'T GET ANY ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. I DOUBT THAT ANY OF OUR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF DID. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR US TO PIE HAZARD PAY, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT RIGHT NOW, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT WHETHER ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS MAY HAVE RECEIVED HAZARD PAY FOR PICKING UP TRASH, OR CLEANING BUS STOPS, AND BUSES. AND THOSE WOULD HAVE LIKELY, THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ARE UNION REPRESENTED STAFF, SO THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING IN THEIR CONTRACTS. THERE NAISH SOME OTHER FOLKS IN ADDITION TO THAT THAT THEY HAVE H. MAY HAVE RECEIVED THE HAZARD PAY, BECAUSE THEY WERE HERE DOCUMENT THE WORK. AND WE CAN FOLLOW UP ON THAT. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU. ONE FINAL QUESTION, MADAM PRESIDENT. I KNOW TEACHERS HAVE A REALLY HARD JOB. BEING AROUND LITTLE KIDS IS REAL HI HARD, AND YOU HAVE TO LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL CHILD CARE DEVELOPMENT CENTERS THAT WE HAVE THAT AREN'T EVEN OPEN BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STAFF. I'M WONDERING IF SOME OF THIS MONEY WENT TO THE WRONG PLACE. IT DOES ALARM ME. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT T WHEN YOU READ BACK TO THE RESOLUTION, 22-17, IT DIRECTLY SAYS PREK, KINNEY, IT SAYS CHILD CARE CENTERS. IT DOESN'T SAY ADMIN. SO SOME PEOPLE ARE DIRECTLY WORKING WITH THESE CHILDREN. SO I AM CONCERNED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS. I APPRECIATE THAT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, IF I MAY, REAL QUICK. I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN. WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THAT IS THOSE CENTERS CAN'T FUNCTION WITHOUT THOSE SUPPORT, AND BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS CENTRALIZED. EACH COMMUNITY CENTER DOESN'T ITS OWN FISCAL HR MANY ALL OF IT IS CENTRALIZED TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT. SO THOSE INDIVIDUALS, HALL BE IT THEY MAY NOT BEING DIRECTLY THE TEACHERS, THEY ARE SUPPORTING THE TEACHER AND THE PROGRAMS THAT THEY WERE PROVIDING. >> Coun. Bassan: ON THE SAME NOTE, WE HAVE COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. >> Coun. Champine: I HAVE AN EASY QUESTION. REFERENCING THIS REPORT, WAS IT COMMON TO GIVE OUT ANNUAL BONUSES? WAS IT A COMMON PRACTICE? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, I'M SORRY I, I DIDN'T GET THE BEGINNING OF YOUR QUESTION. SO I AM SORRY. >> Coun. Champine: IS IT A COMMON BRA OF THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO HANDLE OUT BONUSES, ANNUAL OR SEMI ANNUAL, WHETHER THE MONEY COMES FROM A GRANT OR NOT? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, I AM NOT AWARE THAT BONUSES ARE COMMON IN ANY WAY. THE BONUS LANGUAGE IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I'M FAMILIAR WITH AT ALL. >> Coun. Champine: MADAM PRESIDENT HAD THERE ARE NO OTHER CITY POSITIONS OR EMPLOYEES THAT RECEIVE BONUS? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, WE DO HAVE WHAT KIWI CALL INCENTIVES. IF WE HAVE DIFFICULT TO RECRUIT POSITIONS, AND LET ME GO BACK, IN TRANSIT, HIRING DRIVERS, WE HAVE INCENTIVES FOR TRANSIT OF DRIVERS, OUR SOLID WASTE DRIVERS. SOME OF THOSE ARE HIRING INCENTIVES. DEPENDING ON YOUR LICENSING AND IT IS BASED ON WHETHER YOU COME IN WITH A CDL OR WE TRAIN YOU FOR A CDL. YOU KNOW APD HAS RETENSION INSENSITIVITIES AS WELL. I DON'T WANT TO SAY WE DON'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT WE DO HAVE INSENSITIVE TO BRING PEOPLE IN, GET THEM ON BOARD AND KEEP HERE. >> WOULD YOU SAY INCENTIVESES IS THE SAME AS A BOW NUTS, THEN. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, I WOULD NOT CHARACTERIZE AN INCENTIVE AS THE SAME AS A BONUS I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DON'T DRAW COMPARISONS. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYBODY WALKING AWAY ANYTHING WE DON'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT, AND THEN I GET CALLED TO CARPET BECAUSE I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT. I'M MAKING IT CLEAR, DO WE HAVE INCENTIVES, BUT I WOULD NOT CALL AN INCENTIVE A BONUS. >> Coun. Champine: MADAM PRESIDENT, ONE FINAL QUESTION THIS. REPORT STATES THESE BONUSES WERE GIVEN OUT IN 2022. WERE THE BONUSES GIVEN OUT IN 23 OR 24 AS WELL, OR IS THAT THE ONLY YEAR? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, NO. >> THE ONLY PAYMENTS THAT WERE MADE WITH THE WERE THE ONES THAT WERE IN JULY OF 2022. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU HAD MADAM PRESIDENT. MY MOM IS AN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR. SO MY HEART REALLY IS LIKE, I HAVE NO WORDS. ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS TRYING TO RECRUIT HER. YOU KNOW, LIKE, COME TO THE CITY, ITS GREAT. AND THEN TO REED FLEW THIS REPORT. I KNOW COUNCILLOR GROUT ASKED FOR NUMBERS AROUND TEACH, BUT CAN YOU PLEASE ADD THE NUMBER OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS THAT WE CLOSED DURING THIS TIME, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE TEACHERS. AND I THINK IF WE WERE ABLE TO OFFER THESE TYPE OF I KNOW STIFFENS, WE MAY NOT HAVE HAD TO CLOSE SOME OF THESE CENTERS DURING THAT TIME. I KNOW WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR STAFF AT THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE THAT PERSONALLY HAD TO CHANGE THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER THAT THEY WENT TO THREE TIMES DURING THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE CENTERS OPEN BECAUSE WE COULDN'T KEEP TEACHERS IF AND I SEE NOW WHY WE COULDN'T KEEP TEACH PERCENT AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY CENTERS CLOSED DURING THIS TIME. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, I DON'T HAVE THAT ANSWER. I CAN FIND OUT FOR YOU. BUT, NO, I DON'T KNOW. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOPIC, SO THANK YOU. I WAS GOING TO ASK THIS LAST TIME, BUT WE WERE FIRST HERE AT 2:00 A.M., SO I'LL GET THIS ON THE RECORD NOW. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT CLEAR N NOVEMBER, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE ADMINISTRATION HAD BEEN CONTRACTING WITH A COMPANY TO KIM PIGEON N ON CITY PROPERTY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT PRACTICE HAS NOW STOPPED. WILL YOU PLEASE TELL PEOPLE THAT FOR SURE? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN YES. OUR GENERAL SERVICE ITS DEPARTMENT HAS CEASED THAT CONTRACT THAT WE HAD, AND IS WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE HUMANE PATHWAYS FORWARD TO ENSURE WE UPHOLD THE PIGEON CONTROL ORDINANCE, AND ENSURE THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO TAKE IN LIGHT THE ISSUES RELATED TO THAT. BUT WE ARE WORKING TOWARD MORE HUMANE APPROACH. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I JUST WANT TO VERIFY, I MET WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, THERE HAVE BEEN NO WORKING TOGETHER. WE DO HAVE WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WROTE THE PIGEON CO-EXISTENCE ORDINANCE IN END VIESH MENTAL HEALTH, AND THEY'D NOT BEEN BROUGHT INTO THE FOLD ON THIS TOP PARTICULAR AT ALL. THAT HAS CHANGED. IT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVING FORWARD AS WE HAVE MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS LOOKING AT THIS AS THEY COME UP. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN YES. THAT IS CORRECT. SINCE THE MEETING YOU HAD, THEY HAVE SEIZED, AND THEY HAVE AM NOT OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER THE STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER AND START ON A PATH FORWARD. BUT THEY ARE DOING THAT. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MA'AM. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION? >> Coun. Sanchez: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. ACTIVE A QUICK QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO THE, RIGHT NOW, I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING OUT AND WE HAD A FECES PICK UP ORDINANCE THAT WE PUT THROUGH, ANGLE RIGHT NOW, I'VE BEEN HEARING FROM THE CONTRACTOR THAT ON CONTRACT, THAT WAS THE GENERAL SERVICE ITS DEPARTMENT, IT WAS ONLY DOING ONE PICK UP PER DAY, AND NOW I HEAR THAT THERE ARE RED BUCKETS BEING PASSED OUT BY ENTITIES IN THE CITY FOR INDIVIDUALS TO USE AS A FECES PICK UP. AND I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THAT'S COMING FROM. AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR CONTRACTOR. >> DR. SINGLE. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR SANCHEZ, I'M HAPPY TO LOOK INTO IT. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TESTIMONY I DON'T BELIEVE THE CITY IS HANDING OUT RED BUCKETS. BUT WE WILL ABSOLUTELY BE HAPPY TO LEARN THE TIP THAT YOU HAVE AND LEARN MORE ABOUT IT AND PROVIDE WITH YOU THAT INFORMATION. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCILORS? >> Coun.

FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS ON TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA WHO ARE BEING APPOINTED TO SERVE ON A BOARD OR COMMISSION, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE. GOING BACK TO COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN EC-278. MANY. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON EC-278. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE APARTMENT FOR DR. SINGLING TEENS, OR IF THE DIRECTOR WANTS TO COME DOWN. BUT THIS IS THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE AGENCY THAT IS REQUIRED GIVE THE COUNCIL. AND IN THE REQUIREMENT FOR THAT MANY REPORT, THERE IS A LIST OF THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED, AND I JUST DID INTO THE SEE SOME OF IT. SO I WANTED TO ASK SPECIFICALLY WHERE YOU'RE ASSETS IS, I ASSUME WE HAVE SOME ASSETS IN OUR DEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND THE ONLY REPORTINGS I SEE IS ON PAGE 26 OF A VERY SHORT 28 OR NINE PAGE DOCUMENT. I DON'T SEE ANY LISTING OF ASSETS. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, CHIEF OF STAFF AND DIRECTOR BRUNER IS HERE AND CAN SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO THIS REPORT. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: OKAY. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, WE DIDN'T HAVE A LIST OF ASSETS IN THIS PARTICULAR REPORT. WE FOLLOWED PRIOR FORMATS WE USED IN THE PAST. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. SO THE ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRES THIS SAYS THE METROPOLITAN REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SHALL FILE ANNUALLY WITH THE CITY COUNCIL A REPORT OF ITS ACTIVITIES L FOR THE PRECEDING YEAR YOU WHICH REPORT SHALL INCLUDE A COMPLETE FINANCIAL STATEMENT SETTING FORTH ITS ASSETS HAD LIABILITY, INCOME, AND OPERATING EXPENSES ASP OF THE ANNUAL FISCAL YEAR. SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS FITS THAT BILL. I ALSO HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS MANY TIMES, BUT I AM OPEN BEING CORRECTED. I DO NOT SEE ANY REFERENCE TO ANY MR THAT IS NOT DOWNTOWN OR IN THE UNIVERSITY AREA. AND I DO FIND IT A LITTLE STRIKING THAT AN ENTIRE METROPOLITAN REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ANNUAL REPORT WOULD NOT EVEN WANT ANYWHERE MENTION THE MENAUL MR AREA. SO I'M JUST WONDERING WHY -- THIS LISTS OUT SOME OF THE MRS WE HAVE UNTIL OUR CITY, NOT TO MENTION THE WORK WE ARE DOING IN MRS THAT ARE NOT DOWNTOWN AND IN THE UNIVERSITY AREA. SO PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. IF THERE IS A REFERENCE TO MEN FALL HERE, I HAVE READS THIS MANY MANY, MANY TIMES, AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT IS NOT IN HERE. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, THOSE ARE ALL GREAT SUGGESTIONS. I SEE MULTIPLE MRS IN HERE. WE HAVE 22 OF THEM. IF YOU WANT A MORE EXTENSIVE REPORT, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO FROI. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WOULD LIKE A REPORT THAT LIST THE THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE REPORT THAT ARE IN OUR CITY ORDINANCE. AND I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ONCE AGAIN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE MRS THAT ARE ACTIVE, AND MOVING OUR CITY FOORD THAT ARE NOT DOWNTOWN OR IN THE UNIVERSITY AREA * MR'S * AND I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE OTHER MR'S. I KNOW THERE IS AN ACTIVITY IN MY MR, BECAUSE I PUSHED FOR IT, AND WE HAVE A REPORT THAT WE COMPLETED AND HAVE MOVED ON AND WE HAVE ADDITIONAL WORK BEING DONE IN THAT AREA AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE MENTIONED IN AN AND YOU'LL REPORT FOR THE M-R AGENCY AND I WOULD LIKE TO OUNCE THE ASSETS LIECIALGHTS, IN, AND OPERATING EXPENSES AS REQUIRED IN THE ANNUAL REPORT. OF SO, MADAM PRESIDENT, I'LL MOVE A DEVIL FOR TWO WEEKS. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, BEFORE YOU MAKE THAT MOTION, I WILL GO BACK TO HOUSEKEEPING.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE CONSENT AGENDA AND VOTE OBJECT T ALL IN FAVOR OF THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE REMOVAL OF EC-28 HAD PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY YES. ANYONE OPPOSED? THANK YOU.

SOLERO TECHNOLOGIES WHICH IS HOUSED AT THE THE PARK, A SUBSIDIARY OF ROCKET LABS, CREATES WORLD-CLASS SOLAR CELLS THAT ARE USED IN SPACE APPLICATIONS. THEY ARE RESISTANT TOM RADIATION. THEY HAVE BOTH OF COMMERCIAL APPEAR AND NATIONAL SECURITY APPLICATIONS. ROCKET LABS AND SOLERO WERE A RECIPIENT OF CHIP FUNDING ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO WHICH WAS A HUGE WIN FOR NEW MEXICO. BOTH INTEL AND ROCKET LABS RECEIVED CHIPS FUNDING. .AS WE USUALLY DO, IN OUR TIP CASE, MADAM PRESIDENT, WE WOULD LIKE TO RUN BOTH THE ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO OUT IRB AND THE ORDINANCE PER TAKE TO THE ECONOMIC ACT CONCURRENTLY, SAME BROJ, SAME COMPANY. STATUTORILY, DO I HAVE TO ARTICULATE THAT SOLERO IS A QUALIFYING ENTITY AT THIS THAT, IT IS A QUALIFYING PROJECT, AND THAT BOTH THE IRB AND THE LEADER HAVE BEEN VERIFIED FOR THEIR RETURN OF INVESTMENT BY BIEBER AT IEWB AND THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. ARE THE TOTAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOR THIS EXPANSION IS JUST SOUTH OF $100 MILLION. IT BROMSES IT NOT ONLY REMAIN 250 WELL PAID EMPLOYEES WITH BENEFITS, BUT TO INCREASE THE EMPLOYEE COUNT BY 70 HIGHLY COMPENSATED INDIVIDUALS. THE IRB THE COMPANY IS REQUESTING, THE INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND, IS IN THE AMOUNT OF $72.6 MILLION. THE LEADER GRANT AWARD THROUGH THE CITY IS $250,000. AND THE CITY STANDS READY TO SERVE AS THE FISCAL AGENT FOR THE HAD STATE LEADER BOARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $1.5 MILLION. MADAM PRESIDENT, WE DO HAVE WITH US TODAY A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, AND A COMPANY REPRESENTATION, FRED CLAVEGER, WITH SPACE APPLICATION. I LEAD IT TO THE CHAIR TO ASK THOSE INDIVIDUALS TO COME, IF 3R509. >> Coun. Bassan: YES. DIRECTOR, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HEAR BOTH BILLS AT THE SAME TIMES, AND HAVE YOU SPEAK ON THEM, AND THEN EIA THINK IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HEAR FROM WHO IS HERE. >> THANK YOU, BE MADAM PRESIDENT. AS I SAID, THE LEADER AMOUNT FROM THE CITY'S LOCAL DEVELOPMENT ACT FUNNED IS IN THE AMOUNT OF $250,000. THE TO WILL BEER AS OF OUR PRACTICE SERVE AS THE FISCAL AGENT FOR THE STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT LEADER GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $1.5 MILLION. SO THIS IS ON THE LEADER SIDE, WHICH IS ORDINANCE 24-66. AND THEN WITH REGARD TO THE IRB, THE INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND, ORDINANCE 24-65. AGAIN, THAT BOND IS IN THE AMOUNT OF $72.6 MILLION. >> Coun.

TODAY WE OPERATE ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST POUNDS OF SEMI CONDUCTOR. SO THE CONDUCTOR IS NOT MADE OF SILICON. AND THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE SAW FIT TO EXPAND THAT CAPACITY HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. THAT WILL HELP ABOUT 50 PERCENT GROWTH IN OUR ABILITY TO SURVIVE THESE -- PROVIDE THESE PRODUCTS TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND THE MILITARY. TODAY OUR PRIMARY PRODUCT IS POWER SYSTEMS FOR SATELLITES. WE POWER JUST ABOUT EVERY NAME BRAND SATELLITE THAT YOU COULD NAME. LOCAL POSITIONS SYSTEM, EARLIEST WARNING, ALL THOSE SATELLITES ARE POWERED FROM HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE AND THIS PLANT. THIS PLANT WAS ESTABLISHED WITH IRB'S AND STATE AND LOCAL FUNDING. WE LOCATED THE COMPANY HERE 25 YEARS AGO IN PROJECT HIM TO SANDIA. WE LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERLY FROM THE LAB AND IT IS REALLY STATE AND LOCAL SUPPORT THAT ALLOWED US TO BUILD WHAT IS TODAY THE LARGEST POWER SYSTEM MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD. SO WITH THIS INVESTMENT, WE WILL BE ABLE TO TOTALLY MODERNIZE THE FACT TWRI, CREATE 70 JOBS, AND WE ARE TARGETING CLOSER TO 100, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROJECT. >> Coun.

THE STATE IS COMMITTED TO THE FUNDS. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PUBLIC COMMENT AS WELL FOR O-56. LET'S GO TO THAT, AND THEN WE WILL OPEN UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCILORS. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS RUDOLPH SERRANO. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COPGS. WE ARE STARTING WITH NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES. THESE SOLAR CELLS ARE PRODUCED WITH LESS WASTE THAN THE COMPETITION. LET'S SAY FOR THE SPACE, YOU NEED 30 TONS, WHICH IS LIKE 30 ELEPHANTS. THESE CELLS ARE PRODUCED WITH 20 ELEPHANTS THAT. WAY, YOU CAN PUT MORE CELLS AND DUPLICATE THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY THAT YOU CAN BRING OUT FROM THE STAT LIGHT AND CREATE A LASER ABLE TO GET PAST THE MISSILES MUCH SOS THIS IS REALLY GOING ON IN THE MILITARY COMMUNITY. SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY NEED. AND SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY COMPETE, SINCE WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVERSARY OF RUSSIA. SHOW BLOWN NOT ONLY GIVE THE ABILITY TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE, SO THEY CAN PRODUCE THEM FASTER, SO THEY CAN DELIVER FASTER, SO WE CAN PUT OUR SALT LIGHTS FASTER, SO WE CAN DEFEND OURSELVES FASTER. I'M PRETTY MUCH EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THEY ARE ALSO GOING TO BE GREAT FOR THE MOTHER DRONES. REMEMBER I TALKED TO YOU BECOME PROJECT. THEY WILL ABLE TO BROWSE ENERGY, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK AND RECHARGE. AND SOLAR GLIDING, FOR THOSE MULTI-BILLIONAIRE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SOLAR GLIDE TO PASSER THIS THE WAY THE TOGETHER FOLLOW IS GOING TO THE FUTURE. THERE ARE SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES IS EVERYTHING, BUT THIS TECHNOLOGY IS DEFINITELY GOING TO STAY AND IT IS HERE TO SUCCEED. I THINK IT IS GOOD MONEY INVESTMENT FOR TAXES. THANK YOU. >> MR. DASS ON ZOOM. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? >> WE CAN HEAR YOU. PLEASE PROCEED. >> COOL. FIRST, CONGRATULATIONS MADAM PRESIDENT ON THE ELECTION. WITH THIS ORDINANCE, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT SOMEONE POINTS OUT THAT SOLERO IS, I THINK THE WORD IS A SUBSIDIARY, TO ROCKET LABS, WHICH IS A NATIONAL DEFENSE COMPANY. AND BY SELLING THIS BOND TO SOLERO, WE WILL BE TIED TO THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX FOR ANOTHER, WHAT IS IT, 20 YEARS. AND I'M GOING IS TO STOP THERE, BECAUSE EVERY TIME I TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT THIS, THEY MENTION BOWING. BOEING. BUT I WOULD FEEL AS THOUGH I DIDN'T DO WHAT I COULD TO OPPOSE THIS AND TO OPPOSE THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IF I DIDN'T SPEAK ON THIS. SO CEASE FIRE NOW. FREE PALESTINE. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, THAT CONCLUDES COMMENTS. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCILORS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION?

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF IS GOING TO MAKE CHANGES TO IN THE FUTURE, SEE THAT ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CHAMBERS AND IN THE CITY CAN UNDERSTAND AND HAVE SOME EXPECTATION, BUT WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE IT TO A MAXIMUM NUMBERING, UP TO A MAXIMUM OF WOULD HAVE TO MINUTES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT TIME. AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PRESIDENT THAT. WAY, PEOPLE CAN BE OBJECT ALERT THAT THERE WILL BE EITHER TWO MINUTES, OFFER LESS. WHEN THERE IS 170 SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, AS MUCH AS WE ALL THINK WE NEED TO BE HERE AND DO THE BUSINESS OF EVERYONE, WE NEED TO LIMIT SOME OF IT FOREGROUND RULES. SO TODAY, WE WILL BE MOVING ALL OF THE COMMENTARY TO ONE MINUTE. MR. CORNELIUS, IF YOU WANT TO BRING OUR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS PATRICIA WILSON, FOLLOWED BY ELEANOR WALTER. >> MADAM PRESIDENT IS, AND COUNSEL -- HAVE MADE ADA N USE PERMISSIBLE IN R-1 SOAP AND RAISED STRA FEES FOR HOUSING IN HUGE SWATHS OF THE CITY P HOW MANY HOUSING UNITS HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH THESE TWO CHANGES? LACK OF CONSTRUCTION STARTS HAS MORE TO DO WITH FINANCING, THE PRICE OF LUMBER, AND THE AVAILT ABILITY OF LABOR THAN ANYTHING IN THE ZONING CODE. RATHER THAN CHANGING THE LAW TO EXEMPT ITSELF FROM THE OWN RULES, THE CITY SHOULD ADDRESS THE REAL REASON PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD RENTALS. THE DOES MAKE OF OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM BY A BRIEF ADMINISTRATION AND THE INCURSION OF PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN RESIDENTIAL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MS. WALTERS. >> PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL REPORTS, THE ORDINANCE PROCESS INITIATED AT THE SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 COUNCIL MEETING RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE RAPID TIME-LINE AND LACK OF COUNCIL REVIEW PREVENTED THOROUGH EVALUATION FROM RESIDENTS. THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS EX-PA DISIETED PROCESS SHOULD BE CLEARLY COMIEWFNL INDICATED TO ADDRESS -- COMMUNICATED TO ADDRESS PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS. BUT IT ALSO APPEARS TOBY PASS NECESSARY SCRUTINY. GAUGING WITH LOCAL LEADERS AND RESIDENTS IS CRUCIAL TO ENSURE THAT AMENDMENTS ARE WELL INFORMED AND BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY. THROUGH THE IDO, THE PLANNING DIRECTOR MAY DETERMINE THAT ON INTERIM AMENDMENT TO THE TEXT OF THIS IDEA SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW, AND DECISION HAS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY. WHAT IS A SIGNIFICANT THREAT THAT DIRECTOR HAS IDENTIFIED THAT JUSTIFIES THIS PROCESS? >> PEGGY NORTON. >> GOOD EVENING COUNSEL PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL HORSE. ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. I'M HERE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF NEGATIVE RHETORIC DENIGRATING ASSOCIATIONS AND SCAPE GETTING THEM FOR CITY PROBLEMS. HOMELESSNESS, LACK OF HOUSING AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SHORTAGE OF HEALTH CARE, POOR EDUCATION. PEOPLE LEADING NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS DEDICATE MUCH TIME AND INFORMING AND MAINTAIN RECOGNITION. WHILE NOT ALL ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS REACTIVE, THEY ARE APPRECIATIVE WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS NEAR THE RESIDENCE THAT PEOPLE HAVE KEPT THE NEGOTIATION GOING. IN MY EXPERIENCE, APPEALS ARE GENERALLY FILED ONLY IN SPECIAL CASES OF THE IDO. VARIANCES, ZONE CHANGES, CONDITIONAL USE, NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE. PERMISSIVE USES ARE NOT GENERALLY APPEALED. APPEALS ARE TIME-CONSUMING AND EXPENSE I I APPRECIATE THE WORK OF LEADERS AND THEIR EXPERTISE IN COMMUNICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. >> SAL PIRDONO. >> Coun. Bassan: WHILE WE ARE WAITING, ONE QUICK SECOND. IF YOU ARE ON DECK AND COME DOWN TO THE FRONT ROW WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN NEXT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS SAL AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF NEW MEXICO AND A RESIDENT OF COUNCILLOR GROUT DISTRICT. I'M SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF O-68 # 69. RESIDENTS OF ALBUQUERQUE SHOULD HAVE THE RATE TO HAVE INPUT AND APPEAL ON DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. NO ONE IS DISPUTE THAT. WITH ALL OF THIS SAID, APPEALS, INPUT, AND FEEDBACK SHOULD COME FROM RESIDENTS DIRECTLY I AM PAIBLGHTED BY THE SUBJECT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. AND NOT INDIVIDUALS CLAIMING TO REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS. A RESIDENT OF COUNCILOR CHAMPINE'S DISTRICT, FOR EXAMPLE, IN, SHOULDN'T ABLE TO APPEAL A PROJECT IN COUNCILLOR SANCHEZ'S DISTRICT. O-69 IS NOT ONLY SUPPORTED BY US, BUT SEVERAL OTHER BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTING ALBUQUERQUE. AN OP ED IN THIS WILL WAS COMMITTED TO THE JOURNAL AND PUBLISHED YESTERDAY AND CO-OUGHTERRED BY NINE BUSINESS ORGANIZATION NOTICE ALBUQUERQUE. THESE AMENDMENTS SHOULD BE DESPERATELY NEED AND SHOULD BE VOTED ON TONIGHT. WE SHOULD NOT AND CANNOT DELAY THESE. WE URGE YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. >> JANE BIXBY. >> MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILORS. SIX OF YOU SEATED ON THE DIAZ TONIGHT SERVED ON THE COUNCIL WHEN THE NARROW WAS PASSED. FOLKS FROM 02215. NEIGHBORHOOD SOCIAL I GO ARE AN IMPORTANT INPUT IN THE COMMUNITY. THE GROWING CONNECTEDNESS OF -- DEMAND QUESTION LACK RAWS MENTD STU BUZZ AGE NOG HOOD ASSOCIATIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> MELISSA SANCHEZ. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, APPEAR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MELISSA SANCHEZ. I'M A COMMUNITIER ORGANIZER AND A RESIDENT OF THE WEST SIDE IN DISTRICT 1, AGE I WANT TO COMMENT ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE IDO. A FEW WEEKS AGO, I ATTEND AN EPC HEARING WHICH I WAS IN FULL SUPPORT OF IT AN ISSUE THAT WAS PROPOSED. I SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY ON THAT HEARING. MY ENTIRE WORK DAY. AND I HAD SO MUCH SUPPORT, THERE WAS MORE SUPPORT THAN OPPOSITION TO THE PROJECT. AND I THINK IT IS JUST KIND OF DISRESPECTFUL TO THE TIME OF PEOPLE SPENT ON THAT TO, WHO SHOWED THEIR SUPPORT, ONLY FOR IT TO BE APPEALED. ALSO, I AM ON THE BOARD OF MY HOA. WE ONCE BELONGED AS A MEMBER OF A COALITION, UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL NOT REJOIN BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL WELCOME, OR LIKE MY VOICE WAS HEARD IN THIS COALITION. SO I WILL BE SPEAKING LATER ON A BILL, BUT I DO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> DEBRA CON-GER. >> THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE THE PART OF THE IDO TO REMAIN. RIGHT NOW, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS CAN APPEAL SOMETHING WITHIN 650 FEET OF THEIR BOUNDARY. THE REASON I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE OFTEN, 23, FOR INSTANCE, IT IS A HOUSE AND THEY HAVE BUILT A SIX FOOT WALL. >> MR. WALSH: VIOLATING THE CLEAR SIGHT RULE, THE PEOPLE RIGHT NEAR THAT HOUSE REPRESENT THE ONES LEAST LIKELY IF YOU TO APPEAL IT BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID. BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO CAUSE HARD FEELINGS WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS OR BECAUSE THERAPIESCALLY AFRAID. SO THEY OFTEN ASK THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO GET INVOLVED FOR THEM. WE HAVE MADE VERY FEW APPEALS. WE RERECENT WE MADE ONE APPEAL, AND TFNS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE REASON THE LUHO FOUND IN OUR FAVOR IS BECAUSE THEY TEND TO TAKE THE APPLICANT WORD FOR THINGS. THE APPLICANT SAID THEIR ADDRESS WAS ONE THING, THEY SAID THERE WAS ALREADY WALLS, ALL THESE THINGS WERE NOT TRUE. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, MARNTION AND MEMBERS COUNCIL, MY NAME IS VANESSA A LA #REUD AND I STAND IN STRONG SUPPORT OF 69. I 4R07B89 WEST SIDE SINCE 2022, I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE EVER WEST MET SACKS AND CURRENT LIVE THE PRESIDENT OF QUAKER HEIGHTS. ADDITIONALLY, I'VE BEEN AFTER BOARD MEMBER SINCE 2006. AT A DIRECTOR ON, I WANT TO REWHAT I THAT I HAVE BEEN SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ACTION BUILDING THE INFORMATION FROM THE COALITION. THE COALITION HAS USURPED THE ENTIRE WEST SIDE. THEY DECIDE AND RELAYS THE INFORMATION TO THE BOARD MEMBERS ON SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS HAPPENED. I REQUESTED ON NUMEROUS OWE DISOPERATIONS TO, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SUCH ACTION REQUIRES TOO MUCH TIME. HOWEVER, A PERSON I HAVE ANOTHER MET HAD MR. MICHAEL VOOR HOSE, BE CLAIMS TO SPEAK FOR ME. I BELIEVE COALITION OPERATE IN A VACUUM AND A AN ECHO CHAMBER. I WILL FIN. >> Pres. Lewis: MADAM PRESIDENT, GO AHEAD AND FINISH. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR LEWIS, THANK YOU. I BELIEVE COLLISIONS OPERATE IN A VACUUM NN AN ECHO CHAMBER. THEY DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME OR THE TWO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS I'M PART OF OR EVEN PRESIDENT. THEY CLAIM SPEAK TO SPEAK ON THE ENTIRE WEST SIDE, AND COMMUNICATE THE ITS PROSPERITY. JUST AS THEY HAVE STOPPED ECONOMIC GROWTH THAT ARE NOT IN PART, SPECIFICALLY UNSER CROSSING MUCH THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EE ANCHOR DEVELOPMENT THEANLDED UP DEATH POSTPONED AND IT TOOK TEN YEARS FOR ANY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO GO INTO THAT AREA. REQUIRING COMMUNITIES SUPPORT VIA PETITION IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. THE PETITION WOULD LIAR TRUE REPRESENTATION, NOT JUST A HANDFUL OF INDIVIDUALS. IN MY DAILY LIFE, I'M AN LEGISLATIVE LOBBYIST AND DO 30 OR 60 DAY LEGISLATIVE SUGGESTION. IF THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNMENT CAN MAKE LAWS FOR THE ENTIRE L STATE BUDGET AND HE STATE STATUTES IN 30 OR 60 DIES, I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY OPINION ADEQUATELY INFORMED OF THE DECISION ITS TONIGHT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE CAN VOTE ON SOMETHING EVER THIS IMPERATIVE AND I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ELIM, I'M A DEVELOP IN OTHER WORDS THE EARLY CHILDHOOD STRI. I FEEL MOST OF THE POSITIONS YOU PLACED TODAY. I'M HERE FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WE HAVE VARIOUS ENTRIES IN OUR ECONOMIES. WE HAVE -- YOU, AS LEADERS HAVE THE CHANCE TO CHANGE 24. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO PROVE THAT ALBUQUERQUE, AND WILL, AND SHOULD LEAD THE WAY. WE CAN MODERNIZE OUR PROCESS WITHOUT LOSING WHAT MAKES THE CITY SO SPECIAL. PRESER EVERYTHING OUR CHARACTER AND GROWTH ARE NOT COMPETING GOALS. THE THE DECISION ITS YOU MAKE NOW WILL DETERMINE WHETHER ALBUQUERQUE BECOMES A CITY OF MISSED OPPORTUNITIES, OR THE CITY OF BOLD THOUGHTFUL ACTION. WE CAN BE THE CITY THAT FAMILIES, BUSINESSES AND INNOVATORS CHOOSE. I URGE YOU TO ACT. LET'S NOT FIRE OF CHANGE HOLDING BACKS WHEN THE NEED IS NOW. THANK YOU. >> MICHAEL BRASHER. >> GOOD EVENING. ITS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. A QUICK NOTE. I DON'T THINK THAT THE FILE OF TIMEFRAME ALLOWING FOR PUBLIC INPUT, FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND TRULY WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT, IS NOT HAPPENED. I THINK THAT THIS HAS BEEN RUSHED. AND THERE ARE SOME ITEMS IN THIS THAT I THINK THE COMMUNITY SHOULD KNOW A LOT ABOUT, AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO. I WILL SAY THAT THE WORK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IS REALLY CRITICAL, AND HAVING PEOPLE HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDINGS OF OUR SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT IS AN IMPORTANT THING, AND HAVING THEM ACTIVELY CONSTRUCTIVELY INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS, AND A BILL THIS SIGNIFICANT WHICH CHANGES. OF WHAT WAS DONE IN THE IDO, IS VERY CRITICAL. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. >> MARK BARONE. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, I'M MARK, RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 2, AND EVENTS CHAIR FOR STROWNG TOWN ALBUQUERQUE. TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO HEAR TWO DIFFERENT BILLS THAT MEANINGFULLY ADDRESS QUALITY OF LIFE UNTIL OUR CITY AND THE PEOPLE IN IT. ACCORDING TO THE RECENT HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT, ALBUQUERQUE NEEDS 55 NOW PLUS HOUSING OUNCE ITS BY 20456789 I HAVE FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE REITERATE WHAT WE ALL ALREADY KNOW, THAT IS TO MEANINGFULLY TABLG CLIMATE CHANGE, HOUSING, ALL OF THESE ISSUES, WE MUST ALSO CHAMPION DENSITY AND PUBLIC TRANSIT, SOMETHING THAT BOTH O 69 AND 61 DO. SO I FOR A BETTER, BRIGHTER IS, LIVABLE ALBUQUERQUE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME, I URGE YOUR SUPPORT ON BOTH OF THOSE BILLS. >> IGOR GOODALL. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND ALL COUNCIL REPORTS, I'M I GO OR, AND I'M FROM LAWYER NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, DISTRICT 1. I WORK WITH SOME OF YOU ON SOME PROJECTS IN ALBUQUERQUE AND I DO APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. THANKS YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THE CITY BETTER. WITH ALL RESPECT, I'M HERE TO OPPOSE IS THE BILL 2, 4, 6, 9, AND LET ME EXPLAIN WHY. IT WILL REDUCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS INFLUENCE BECAUSE A THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS NOW WILL NEED MORE TO SUPPORTINGS AND THERE WILL BE FEWER CHECKS TO CHANGE THE RULINGS. ALL OF THIS WILL NEGATIVELY EFFECT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND OUR NEIGHBORS MUCH THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> HI. #EUD A WHOLE THING WRITTEN OUT, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO READ THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT A LOBBYIST, AND I'M NOT GOING TO GET TWO MINUTES TO SPE. I WANTED TO LAYOUT THAT IN 20250, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR PROGRESSIVE, GOOD, RAD A CHANGE. WE SHOULD BE LOOKING TO INCREASE OUR HOUSING, FIND ANYWAYS TO DO THAT. I THINK THE BILL WILL PROBABLY BE HELPFUL FOR THAT. I THINK EXPANDING OUR ACCESS TO RESOURCES IS VERY IMPORTANT. I THINK SUPPORTING OUTDOOR SPACES SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR THIS COUNCIL. I THINK HEN SURE PUBLIC TRANSIT AND BIKE LANES ARE GETTING LOOKED 59. PROJECTS LIKE THAT. I ALSO THINK THIS COUNCIL SHOULD LOOK TO HOLD THIS OPERATION, HE IS SPECIAL POLICE APD, MORE ACCOUNTABLE. I THINK IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN 2025, LIKE HAPPENED IN 2024, WHERE THE PANTS OF A MAN WHO WAS SHOT TEN TIMES WHILE HANDCUFFED IN THE BACK OF A POLICE CAR HER TO COME TO THIS COUNCIL AND CRY, ON THIS PODIUM, TO GET ANSWER, AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THOSE ANSWERS OR THEIR JUSTICE. >> CONGS, MADAM PRESIDENT. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT R-109. THREE PARTIES REQUIRED, THIS RESOLUTION DOES NOT EVEN MECHTION THE LANDLORD. FINDING A LANDLORD TO ACCEPT A HOUSING VOUCH CERTIFICATE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO EXECUTING A HOUSING VOUCHER. THEY HAVE STOOD HERE FOR TWO YEARS ASKING YOU TO CREATE A DATABASE OF LANDLORDS. NO CENTRAL LIST EXISTS. MANY HOUSING CASEWORKERS SPENDS HOURS A WEEK CALLING AROUND, ASKING PROPERTY MANAGERS, IF THEY ARE CURRENTING ACCEPTING HOUSING VOUCHERS, BUT NOW TWO ARE THE SAME. SOME LANDLORD WILL TAKE ONE, BUT NOT ANOTHER. RECEIVING A HOW LONG VOUCH CERTIFICATE ABOUT STEP 15 MANY IN THE CASE WORK PROCESS I'VE NEVER HEARD A CLIENTBACKINGS IN AND BEING PREPARED TO RECEIVE A HOW LONG VERY MUCHER. I TELL PEOPLE, IT TYPICALLY TAKES BETWEEN 6 DOLL 90 MONTHS TO BECOME ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A HOUSING VOUCHER IF YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN HOME LESS FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. IT TOOK ME SIX MONTHS TO SMIEFN. >> 2017. I'LL FINISH LATER. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. CONGS TO MADAM PRESIDENT. PLEASE VOTE YES ON O-69 TO OFFER FOR HOUSING BUILT IN OUR CITY. BE BUILDING FOR HOUSING 23450ER THE TRANSIT CORRIDORS WILL PUT MORE ROOFS OVERHEADS, AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VACANT LOTS IN CENTRALLY LOCATED FLAIB HOODS A CITIES BUILDING THE MOST HOUSING HAVE SEEN THE BIGGEST DECREASE IN HOUSING PRICE HE IS. MANY THE LATE JIMMY CARTER SAID HOWS SOMETHING A HUMAN LIGHT, AND HE BUILT 4400 HOMES AFTER HIS PRESIDENCY. KEEP HIS LEGACY ALIVE SO TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD A HOME TO LIVE, AND NOT BE ON THE STREETS OWN A MANY NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT WURKS IT IS COLD AND WIND I. AND SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES THIS MLK DAY, AND EVERY DAY. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL BREAZ AND COUNCIL REPORTS, MY NAME IS ADAM SILVER MAFNLT I'M HERE REPRESENTING QUITE A FEW THINGS. I'D LIKE TO TAKE A FRIEND BACK TO 2017 WHEN WE HAD 35 FAMILIES, THEY HAD A NEED TO GROW, THEY HAD TO BUILD SCHOOLS AND HOUSES AND FARMS. I THINK AFTER 319 YEARS, I WOULD BE PRETTY UPSET THAT WE ARE ARGUING ABOUT HOUSING. WE NEED TO MOVE THIS CITY FORWARD. I KNOW I DON'T HAVE AN LOT OF TIME, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DO, BUT I'M HERE TO SUPPORT R-69. THE ONE STAT I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOU IS WE ARE ONE OF ONLY TWO STATES IN THE EDGE TIRE COUNTRY THAT HAD A DECLINE IN HOUSING PERMITS. WE ARE IN A REGIONAL COMPETENCE FIGURES FOR PEOPLE AND JOBS, A APPEAR KEEP OUR CITIZENS HERE, AND IF TEXAS IS GROWING BY 9.75 PERCENT FOR FAMILY RESIDENCE; ARIZONA IS 22 PERCENT, UTAH IS 26 PERCENT. IF WE WANT TO GET OUR FAMILIES AND KIDS TO STAY IN NEW MEXICO, WE NEED TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. WE CAN'T GET 146 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, NOT GOV-TV A AGENCIES, REFLECT THE DECISIONS OF OUR CITY. THANK YOU. >> TAD NIEMYJSKI. >> GOOD EVENING. I HAVE TO EXPRESS MYSELF IN A MINUTE. THAT'S RIDICULOUS. VIOLATING OPEN MEETING ACT, FREE SPEECH. NOW LET ME MAKE POINT. SHE SAYS MY HEART WAS BROKEN CHILDREN. WELL, THEY ARE GONE, RESPECT. TALK TO US. TIME SHARES, AND SO ON, ITS UP TO US. WELL, ITS RIGHT HERE, ENTER. WELL, I DON'T HAVE -- (INAUDIBLE). >> MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, WE ARE SPHOORTING A NEW YEAR AND I START WITH VIOLENCE. WE HAVE THE TERRORIST ATTACK IN NEW ORLEANS, AND WE CANNOT IGNORE THE ENEMIES PRESENCE, AND WE CANNOT IGNORE OUR CITY IS A TARGET, AND WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING TO KEEP IT SAFE. AND THIS YEAR, I FEEL THAT WE NEED A MAYOR THAT IS CONCERNED, YOU KNOW, WITH THE CITIZENS OF ALBUQUERQUE BEFORE THE FAMILIES ON THE BORDERS. I LOVE THE FAMILIES, BUT WE CANNOT HAVE A CITY THAT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT FULLY TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS. I EXPECT A WOMAN TO RUN. I AM RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT. I RESPECT YOUR SUPPORT BUT IF A WOMAN COMES FORWARD, I WILL BACK OUT. THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM IN ALBUQUERQUE THAT'S HAPPENING. AS A DISABLED AMERICAN VET, I WENT TOM MY POLICE TO TRY TO SPEAK TO POLICE OFFICERS. I COULDN'T GET THROUGH THE SECURITY STAFF THERE. ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO IS MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, LIKE GOING TO THE DEB CYST. YOU DON'T EXPECT TO SEE A GENTLEMAN THERE. WE PUT IN THREE OR FOUR REQUESTS WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND THEY NEVER GOT BACK TO US. SO WE GO THERE AND HAVE A COP COME OUT AND TELL US WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE -- >> Coun. Bassan: I KNOW YOU HAVE MORE TRIAL, BUT PLEASE DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS TO THE PRESIDENT. >> NO PROBLEM. CAN I HAVE MY TIME BACK? >> Coun. Bassan: YOU MAY. >> THANK YOU. IT WAS A BIG PROBLEM. I WAS PRESS PEACED FROM A PUBLIC PLACE. I HAD COMMITTED NO CRIME. WE LEFT ON OUR OWN ACCORD HUNDRED DOLLAR THREAT OF ARREST I WALKED OVER TO SPEAK TO MR. SMALLS OVER L IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. WHILE WE WERE THERE, WE WERE ACCOSTED BY FOUR POLICE OFFICERS. THEY GAVE US A CRIMINAL TREATS PASS FROM THE POLICE STATION, AND THEN TOLD THAT WE HAD A VERBAL TREATS PASS FROM THE MAYOR'S HOUSE THAT, WE COULDN'T CONDUCT THE REST OF OUR BUSINESS, NOR COME DOWN AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THAT MEETING THAT WAS GOING TO OCCUR TONIGHT. I SUGGEST THAT YOU LOOK INTO IT THE PROBLEM THAT WE ARE HAVING TODAY, THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE AFRAID OF THE CAMERA, CLUNG THE METRO STAFF. WE WERE ACCOSTED BY THEM. WE ASKED THEM, WHY, WHY HAD ARE YOU FOLLOWING US AROUND THE BUILDING. CAN WE HAVE YOUR NAME? OFFICER WHITE HERE. THAT'S NOT THE STATE LAW. WHEN AN OFFICER IS ASKED, ESPECIALLY A SECURITY GUARD, WHAT THEIR NAME; THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ANNOUNCE IT. AND WHEN YOU REPORT THAT PROBLEM, TO THEIR SUPERVISOR, HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO HANDLE IT. A WEEK LATER, WE COME BACK IN, IT IS THE SAME SECURITY GUARD. YOU HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIM. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU, YOUR TIME IS UP. >> WE WILL BE TALKING AGAIN. THANK YOU. >> RICK JOESY. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, I WANT TO SPEAK REAL QUICKLY ABOUT OUR RIGHTS HERE IN THIS COUNTRY. BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THE POLICE DO NOT KNOW OUR MANY RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY. MUCH LESS ALBUQUERQUE. SO ANOTHER REASON FOR REASONABLE IS RATIONAL. A RATIONAL. THE FOUNDERS CHOSE CERTAIN WORDS. THE GOVERNMENT FIRST TRIED TO REMOVE YOUR BELIEF THEN YOUR VOICE THEN YOUR EXPRESSION THEN YOUR SPACES THEN YOUR ABILITY TO QUESTION INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, NONE OF WHICH IS REASONABLE TO BE 12REU7D, AS REASONABLE RELICENSE ONLY A ARE PARAMOUNT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE AND THEIR GOVERNMENT. OUR FOUNDERS KNEW THAT RATIONALITIES AND REASONABLE PEOPLE KNOW THAT A SECURE PERSON IN THEIR HOME AND PAPERINGS AND EFFECTS INCLUDE IDENTITY HAD REQUIRES A WELL ARMED SOCIETY, AND THUS IT OUR SECOND AMENDMENT. A GOVERNMENT'S FEERM OF THE PEOPLE IS NOT RATIONAL, NOR TEN REASONABLE IN ANY RIGHT, UNTIL THE DAY OF THE DOES STRICKS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS, I WILL REMAIN A FREE MAN, MINUS A CRIME. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU, YOUR TIME IS UP. >> I WOULD SAY, GET USED TO IT. AND BY THE WAY, PEOPLE, SPEAK INTO THE MIC. OTHERWISE, PEOPLE CAN'T HEAR YOU. I WANT TO HELP YOU OUT. >> BRAD WHITE. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, MADAM VICE-PRESIDENT, I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY MY ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT FOR COUNCILLOR BASSAN AS PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL, AND AS COUNCILLOR PEÑA FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. I WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY 2025 AND LOOK FORWARD TO ALL THE GOOD WORK YOU DO MOVING FORWARD. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU. >> JIM PRICE. AM I UP? I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES THAT WERE INTEGRATED INTO THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE. YOU DISRESPECT THAT, WHICH WAS INTEGRATED, IS TO LITERALLY DAYS INTER GREAT. WHEN YOU DAYS INTEGRATE SOMETHING, YOU ALSO REMOVE THE INTEGRITY. THIS PROPOSAL 69 LACKS INTEGRITY IN ITS REFUSAL TO FOLLOW AN INTEGRATED PROCEDURE AND IS MISLEAD ANYTHING ITS L TITLE AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. THE PROPOSAL HAS LITTLE IMPACT ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ANY OF THE HOUSING BUILT UNDER THIS PROPOSAL WILL BE RENTED AT MARKET RATE BY THE LANDLORD, IT IS NOT SUBSIDIZED OR RENT CONTROLLED. I HAD URGE THE COUNCIL TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE COUNCIL AND DENY THIS PROPOSAL. >> DEL. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? GOOD EVENING, COUNCILORS, AND THANK YOU WILL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY. I'M DEL, I'M THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF THE GREATER ALBUQUERQUE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WE ARE HERE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF BILL 69. THE ONGOING HOUSE HECK CRISIS EFFECTS ALL HOUSING RESIDENTS IN SOME WAY, FROM RISING HIGHWAYS SOMETHING DORKS TON INCREASED HOMELESSNESS, AND LIMITED ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE. THE CHAMBER SUPPORTS COUNCILOR LEWIS'S PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE IDO WHICH WILL PUT THE CITY PROCESS ON EQUAL FOOTING WITH THE STATE, UNM, AND APS. SET UP GUARDRAILS THAT HAD PRIERM THE MAJORITY OF HE WAS PROPERTY OWNERS TOP SIGN AN APPEAL. THIS ENSURE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRILY HAS AVOIDS, AN INDIVIDUAL OR TWO DOES NOT HAVE AN UNFAIR OR OUT SIZED POWER TO STOP EVERYTHING FROM A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, TO MEDICAL CLINIC, OR TO A HOMELESS SHELTER. LASTLY, REQUIRE THEM TO PICK UP THE LEGAL TAB IF THEY LOSE, ENSURING THAT THOSE WHO FILE AN APPEAL, FEEL THEY CAN PREVAIL. WE URGE YOU TO STRIKE A RIGHT BALANCE AND I PROWF THE IDO AMENDMENT. THANK YOU. >> MEREDITH. .PLEASE PROCEED. WE CAN'T HEAR YOU, MEREDITH. >> SORRY. I DIDN'T HEAR YOU. MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILORS, AS WE BEGIN 2025, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND EXPERTISE YOU APPLY IN MAKING ALBUQUERQUE A BETTER CITY. ALSO, I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE FINANCIAL RISKS THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TAKES TO PROVIDE JOBS AND SERVICES. LOCAL I SPEAK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE A NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENT AND PROPERTY OWNER, I WOULD EMPHASIZE THAT. I THINK THE CITY IS BEST SERVED WHEN WE ALL EXCHANGE IDEAS. CONSTITUENTS CAN IDENTIFY CONSEQUENCES OF GENERAL CONCEPTS THAT MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE BE ANTICIPATED. IF AN EMERGENCY PHYSICAL RUPTS THE REGULAR DIALOGUE PROCESS, THERE SHOULD BE A SPEEDY EXTERNAL JUDICIAL REVIEW TO APPROVE THE EXCEPTION. THIS IS NEEDED TO PRESERVE CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT. IN GOV AND INS. THESE ISSUES ARE COMPLEX. SOME OF WYOMING REQUIRE MORE IN-DEPTH CONSIDERATION. SO PLEASE, THE IMPACTS OF SOME OF THE DECISIONS THAT YOU MAKE ARE NOT UNIFORMALLY DETRIMENTAL EVEN WITHIN TRANSIT CORRIDORS SO PLEASE, WE NEED MORE CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. >> MICHAEL GRAY. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. CAN OVER ONE HEAR ME? >> YES, WE CAN, THANK YOU. >> GREAT. MY NAME IS MICHAEL GRAY.

CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? >> YES, WE CAN, THANK YOU. >> I'M JOINING THIS EVENING BECAUSE I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE COUNCIL'S DECISION TO CRIMINALIZE THE SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OF UNHOUSED PEOPLE. SINCE THE COUNCIL HAS CRIMINALIZED CAMPING, YOU NEED TO CREATE SAFE DESIGNATED SPACES FOR UNHOUSED PEOPLE TO CAMP. WHY COULD WE PUNISH PEOPLE FOR BEING POOR, MARGINAL LYSED, MENTALLY ILL, PHYSICALLY ILL, TRAUMATIZED, OR HAVING ADDICTIONS? I URGE YOU TO DECRIMINALIZE CAMPING AND PROVIDE MORE HUMANE SAFE SPACE FORCE UNHOUSED PEOPLE TO LIVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> CANDY PATTERSON, FOLLOWED BY ROSEMARY BLANCHARD.

WE ALSO HAVE HUMAN RESOURCES THAT COULD HELP HUSBAND MEET THOSE NEEDS. WHEN SERIOUS MAJOR CHANGES TO HAD PROGRAMS OR LEGAL STRUCTURES IN THE CITY OR RELATIONSHIPS AMONG BRANCH ITS OF GOVERNMENT ARE PROPOSED, THEY NEED TO BE DEVELOPED OPENLY WITH INPUT FROM PLANNERS AND THE COMMUNITY H SURPRISE CREATES DISTRUST, AND MAKES IT HARDER FOR THE DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCIES IN THE CITY TO WORK TOGETHER.

THANK YOU. >> CRYSTAL GARCIA. >> MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY NOT JUST AS A RESIDENT, BUT AS A VOICE FOR THOUSANDS WHO CALL ALBUQUERQUE NEIGHBORHOODS HOME. BILL 24-69, A BILL THAT APD WITHOUT WARPING, WITHOUT DISCUSSION, AND WITHOUT A SINGLE CONVERSATION WITH THE PEOPLE IT EFFECTS MOST O PICTURE THIS, ADOBE WALLS THAT HAVE L STORIES. FRONT YARDS WHERE CHILDREN PLAYED JUST AS THEIR GRANDPARENTS DID. THIS IS HEART OF ALBUQUERQUE. THIS IS WHAT'S AT STAKE. NOW, LET ME BE DIRECT. OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS TURNED INTO A VOAL PER'S PLAY GROUND. THEY HAVE STACKED THE EPC AND LAND USE BOARDS IN THEIR FIVE. THEY HAVE TWISTED THE IDO MUCH PROCESS UNTIL IT IS UNRECOGNIZABLE AND NOW THEY WANT EVEN MOVE POWER WITH LESS OVERSIGHT. THE IRONY, THEY EXPECT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSE, LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED. NIECE DEVELOPERS AREN'T OFFERING SOLUTIONS, THEY ARE OFFERING 300 SQUARE FOOT BOXES. THEY ARE NOT BUILDING COMMUNITIES, THEY ARE BUILDING MACHINES. BUT THEN ISN'T ABOUT HOUSING COSTS, THIS IS ABOUT AIR QUALITY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS IS ABOUT THE SCHOOLS OUR CHILDREN ATTEND. THIS IS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR STREETS. LET'S FACE THE HARD TRUTH. MINORITIES ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE AND THESE FAVOR THE HELL WEL THI. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT HOUSING, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT JUSTICE. AND THIS IS A DOCUMENT WE CAN IGNORE. THIS IS A CONTRACT WITH THE CITY.

ABOUT WHAT THE OFFICER SAID. ALL OF THAT STUFF. AND BY EXTENSION, WHO IT WAS THAT KILLED MY FRIENDS. ITS BEEN 180 DAYS SINCE THEY SAID THAT. AND ITS BEEN MUCH LONGER SINCE THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. AND YET, I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT WAS. AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR THAT INFORMATION. IF WE COULD LOOK INTO THAT FURTHER, IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. MADAM PRESIDENT, THAT CONCLUDES GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR COMMENTS. THE COUNCIL IS GOING TO TAKE A RECESS FOR DINNER, FOR 30 MINUTES.

YOU KNOW, WE KEEP ON GIVING MONEY TO THESE OTHER VENUES, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE NONPROFITS, AND WE ARE DOING NOTHING FOR-PROFIT. AND WE HAVE 17,000 NEW HOMELESS PEOPLE NATIONWIDE, WORKING AMERICANS, YOU KNOW, THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE STREETS, AND WE NEED SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST 300 SQUARE FOOT BOX. WE NEED TO HAVE OPPORTUNITY, THE CREATION OF OPPORTUNITY, AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ALL THIS AGAIN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, THAT'S OUR ONLY SPEAKER ON THE ITEM. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILOR, WE ARE ON EC-280, THE REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF FAWPPEDS INCREASE AT THE A SOCIAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH GOOD SHEPHERD CENTER. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? DOES THE ADMINISTRATION HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, WE URGE YOUR APPROVAL. THIS IS OUR FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL BE ACCEPTING THE CLIENTS FOR THE HOUSING VOUCHERS. WE NEEDED TO RAEL LOCATE SO THEY HAVE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, AND IT IS THE FULL SUPPORT THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE HOUSING VOUCHERS MUCH THIS IS A RESULT OF OUR WORK IN READJUSTING RELATED TO THE HOUSING VOUCHERS. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE EC-280. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ANYONE OPPOSED? THAT PASSES ON AN 8-0 VOTE. MOVING ON TO EC-281, THIS IS A REQUEST OF A FUNDING AUTHORIZATION INCREASE FOR SOCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO HEADING HOME TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORTIVE HOUSING SERVICES. I MOVE APPROVAL AND THERE IS A SECOND BY COUNCILLOR GROUT. >> THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT. WE HAVE ONE SPIERND UP TO SPEAK. DALE ERIC. >> I SIGNED UP FOR THIS ONE BECAUSE PUBLIC COMMENT WAS FULL, AND I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS. CONGS, COUNCILLOR BASSAN, I THINK YOU'LL MAKE A WONDERFUL PRESENT FOR THIS COUNCIL. I'M HERE TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT SOLA GARCIA'S FAMILY HAS NOT RECEIVED JUSTICE. WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A FULL BODY CAM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE CONGRATULATIONS. IF YOU SIGN UP ON ANY BILL ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THAT ARE NOT UNDERSTAND GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT, YOU DO NEED TO KEEP THEM GERMANE TO THE COMMENTARY OF THAT BILL. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> NO, MADAM PRESIDENT. >> Coun. Bassan: OKAY, COUNCIL REPORTS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> Coun. Rogers: MADAM PRESIDENT, I HAVE A QUESTION ON TRACKING OF THIS PROJECT. I THINK IT PERTAINS IT THE OTHER ONE AS WELL. BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROVIDER, I READ THROUGH THE OUT PUTS IN THE SCOPE OF SERVICES AND JUST WANT 230D ASK THE DEPARTMENT, OR THE ADMINISTRATION, HOW WE PLAN TO TRACK THESE OUTCOMES. >> Coun. Bassan: DR. SINGLE? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, CARLA MARTINEZ CAN SPEAK TO THIS, IF YOU HAVE MORE SPECIFICS, CARLA, BUT MY UNDERSTAND SOMETHING THE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING VOUCHERS, WE, EVERY MONTH, ACTUALLY HAVE A RECKONING SILLATION ON THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE HOUSED, THAT THE LANDLORDS HAVE BEEN PAID, AND THIS THEY REMAIN HOUSED. THEY DO TRACK THROUGH TIME HOW LONG THE INDIVIDUALS STAY IN THE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING VOUCHERS, AND ENSURE WE KNOW KIND OF THEIR STATUS IF THAT MAKES SENSE, IN TERMS HOUSED WITH THESE VOUCHERS. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. AND A COUPLE OF FOLLOW-UPS. TO SPEAK TO MR. AGREE MAN'S COMMENTS BECOME THE LIST OF LANDLORDS THAT ACTUALLY ACCEPT THESE VOUCHERS, HOW IS THAT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR THESE TYPE OF INDIVIDUALS? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, I THINK IT IS A GREAT RECOMMENDATION OR SUGGESTION FOR US TO PURSUE 20 RECONCILE THE TYPE OF LANDLORDS THAT TAKE THEM. EACH OF THESE VOUCHERS, BASED ON REQUIREMENTS, THEY DO HAVE RANGES OF ELIGIBILITY, DEPENDING ON THOSE THINGS, SO IT IS A FAIR OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO THINK ABOUT IMPROVING HOW WE THINK OF TRACKING THAT INFORMATION. I'VE HAD COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK FROM FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT IT IS FRUSTRATING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH LANDLORDS ARE ACCEPTING WHICH TYPE AT THAT TIME. OBVIOUSLY IT IS VERY MUCH FEND AND THE ON THE CURRENT STATUS OF THEIR PORTFOLIO, AND HAVING THAT ACCURATE INFORMATION, I THINK, IS AN ENDEAVOR THAT WE WOULD SHARE, IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ADD TO OUR INFORMATION. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. ONE OF THE OUTCOMES, OUTCOME 1-B, TALKED ABOUT A MINIMUM OF 70 PERCENT OF UNDUPLICATED ADULTS IDENTIFIED BY THE PROGRAM AS HEADS OF HOUSEHOLD WILL MAINTAIN OR INCREASE THEIR TOTAL INCOME. I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BY THAT OUTCOME IF WE ARE DEALING WITH EFFECTS THAT ARE UNSHELTERED. IS IT THE IDEA THAT WE ARE HELPING THEM GET WORK? HOW ARE WE TRACKING? AND FOR A PROVIDER, HOW WOULD THEY PROVE THAT THEY HAVE DONE THAT? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, I THINK IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR US TO LOOK AT, AS AN EXAMPLE, OF A MOOPGHTLY RECONCILIATION SO WE CAN SEE HOW THEY ARE ACCOUNTING FOR THESE MATTERS. I KNOW THAT IN THEIR RECONCILIATION, IT IS SIGNIFICANT, AND WE ARE WORKINGS ON THAT, AS WELL, TO MAKE SURE WE ARE STREAMLINING THE ENSURING OF PAYMENTS. THIS IS A LOT GOING ON IN THIS SPACE, AND THE ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING THROUGH CARLA MARTINEZ'S LEADERSHIP TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE IMPROVING ALL OF OUR PROCESSES. REPORTING, TRACKINGS IT, AND THE BEST WAY TO FACILITATE THE WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, AS WELL. SO IT ISN'T MEANT IT TAKE AWAY ACCOUNT ABILITY BUT TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR EVERYONE TO DO THE WORK WELL. AND WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW THEY, IF IT IS THE INDIVIDUAL REPORTING THAT IS GETTING THE BEN FIRSTS AND HOW THEY TRACK THAT INFORMATION. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU. MY LAST QUESTION, THEN, MADAM PRESIDENT, IS I KNOW WE WERE ALREADY HAVING THIS PARTICULAR PROVIDER AT THE GATEWAY FOR HOUSING NAVIGATION, AND I, OF COURSE, DID A DROP BY, TO SEE THROUGH HOUSING AND A HALF TBAITION IS GOING AT GATEWAY. -- HOUSING NAVIGATION IS GOING AT GATEWAY, AND YOU CANNOT WALK INTO GATEWAY TO GET NAVIGATION SERVICES. YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PRESCHEDULED APPOINTMENT TO GO INTO GATEWAY. SO ARE THERE, WITH THIS EXTENSION TO THEIR FUNDING, ARE PEOPLE GOING TO BE AT LEAST GO TO GATEWAY AND GET HOUSING AND A HALF GRAITION HEADING HOME? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOUSING NAVIGATION WORK THAT WE ARE DOING AT THE GATEWAY AND THE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING VOUCHERS. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, WE ARE SIMPLY EXTENDING THEIR CONTRACT FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ALREADY USING HOUSING VOUCH THEARS ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY THE HOUSING COALITION. I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS THINKING WE ARE EXPANDING CAPACITY, WE ARE ACTUALLY MOVING CLIENTS TO THEM TO ENSURE THAT CLIENTS HAVE THE HOUSING VOUCHERS WILL HAVING THE MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES THAT COME WITH THAT. THE HOUSING NAVIGATION WORK THAT WE DO AND THE REASON THAT IT IS LOCKED UP AT THE NATURE GAY IS BASED ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES WE HAD, THAT IT BE BY SEVERAL AND BY APPOINTMENT. I THINK WE ARE COMMITTED TO WHAT YOU HAVE SCRIBBLED, IN TERMS OF BECOMING MORE ACCESSIBLE, AND THAT IS ABSOLUTELY OUR INTENT WITH THE DROP OFF, AND THE DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHICH WE WANT TO DO EFFECTIVE INTAKES AND PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS REFERRALS TO ANY OF THE PROVIDERS IN THE FACILITY. AND ENSURING THAT WE ARE MAKING THAT, IMPROVING THAT SPROAS FOR O FACILITATION INTO THE REFERRAL. WHETHER IT IS AT THE GATEWAY CENTER, AS WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND, OR INTO THE SOBERING CENTER, INTO OUR MEDICAL RESPITE CENTER, OR ANY OF THE PRIVATE -- WELL, THEY ARE NOT PRIVATE, BUT THE TENANTS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES ALLEGE WELL. >> Coun. Rogers: SO LET ME GATE THIS STRAIGHT. WE ALREADY CONTRACT WITH HEADING HOME TO HELP WOMEN AT GATEWAY. NOW WE ARE GOING TO PAY THEM MORE, AND IT SAYS IN OUTPUT TWO, APPROXIMATELY 100 PERCENT OF THE RESIDENTS AT THE OF FAMILY NAVIGATION CENTER IS WELLNESS HOTEL, WHICH IS ALSO OUR FACILITY, WE ARE NOW PAYING THEM TO GET THEM INTO PERM SUPPORTIVE HOUSING BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ALREADY DOING THAT BY RUNNING OUR SHELTER. THEY ARE NOT LOOKING AT THEM GETTING INTO PERMANENT HOUSING, BECAUSE THEY GET. PAID FOR THEM TO BE IN THE SHELTER, BUT NOW WE ARE GIVING THEM PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE YOU FUNDING HERE TO SAY, PLEASE HOUSE THEM? PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, THIS CONTRACT IS SPECIFICALLY TAKING THE CONTRACT THEY HAVE TODAY AND ADDING. IT HAS THEM TAKE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE BEING CASE MANAGED APPEAR SUPPORTED ALREADY AND ARE IN HOUSING TORQUED USING THE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING VOUCHERS, THEY ARE TAKING THAT CASE L LOAD O ON TO KEEP THEM IN THE PROGRAM OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND KEEP THEM HOUSED AND USING THOSE VOUCHERS DOLLARS THE HOUSING COALITION WAS PREVIOUSLY ADMINISTERING AND SUPPORTING MUCH SO THIS IS ADDING THE SCOPE RELATED TO DIFFERENT GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN HOUSES THAT ARE GETTING SUPPORT. >> Coun. Rogers: SO THEY ARE NOT THE PEOPLE WE ARE HOUSING AT THE WELLNESS HOTEL, LIKE IT SAYS IN THE CONTRACT? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, THIS IS ADDING SCOPE TO THE CONTRACT THEY HAVE. THE CONTRACT YOU HAVE BEFORE THEM IS HEADING HOME'S FULL CONTRACT. WE ARE ADDING, AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE ALL OF THOSE THINGS. THIS IS THEIR CURRENT CONTRACT. WE ARE ADDING A SCOPE FOR THESE ADDITIONAL. SO BECAUSE THEY ARE BRINGING IN AN ADDITIONAL TO THE CONTRACT FORWARD, WE ARE PRESENT BEING THE CONTRACT AND THE ADDITION TO IT. >> Coun. Rogers: GOT TESTIMONY >> Coun. Rogers: GOT IT. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MOTION FOR APPROVAL ON EC-281. COUNCILORS, FOR THOSE THAT APPROVE THIS, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY YES. MANY ANYONE OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON FINAL ACTIONS, COUNCILLOR BACA. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. O 61, ADOPTING A DOWNTOWN L VACANT PREMISES ORDINANCE. I READ THIS EARLIER. THIS WAS THE PART OF THE DOWNTOWN RENAISSANCE, AND ASKED COLLEAGUES HERE TO TBLAIK UP.

THE BILL TALKS ABOUT A IF YOU BUILDINGS DOWNTOWN, IT IS TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMICS OF OUR CITY. EVERY EMPTY BUILDING IS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR JOBS AND TAX REVENUE. BY ENCOURAGING PROPERTY OWNERS TO FIX UP A VIEW CAN'T BUILDING, WE GROW OUR TAX BASE, WHICH WE ALL WANT.

THIS INTRODUCE MODEST FEES TO INCORRECT THIS. THIS IS A SIMPLE WAY TO ASK THOSE BENEFITTING FROM CITY RESOURCE TO SAY CONTRIBUTE THEIR FAIR SHARE. THIS PROPOSAL I'M SURE WILL MAXIMIZE THE VALUE OF ALBUQUERQUE'S INVESTMENT IN DOWNTOWN. EVERYTHING UNDER MIND FROM THE PROPERTY NEARBY IF IT IS EMPTY. THIS IS ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AND FAIRNESS. O-61 SUPPORTS SMALL DEVELOPMENT, REDUCES SPRAWL HAD MAKES SPACE FOR NEW HOUSING. IT IS A SMALL STEP, IT MIGHT ONLY EFFECT A FEW PROPERTIES AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, BUT ONE BLOCK OF POSITIVE CHANGE CAN HAVE A MEANING FULL SPILL OVER EFFECT.

Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR A DO PASS AND A SECOND BY COUNCILLOR BACA. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS IS JUST, I WAS CONFUSED IT, AND SO I ASSUME IF I'M CONFUSED, OTHER FOLKS MIGHT BE. SO I TRIED TO CLEAN IT UP, TO CLARIFY THAT THERE IS A SECTION TWO SENTENCES DOWN THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW WE CAN VERIFY IT WAS VACANT, BUT IT WASN'T CLEAR IN THE INTRODUCTORY PART OF THE PARAMEDICS WHAT THAT MEANT, AND THEY NEEDED TO REGISTER. THAT'S ALL THIS DOES. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ANYONE OPPOSED? THAT PASSES ON 8-1. COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, AMENDMENT NUMBER 2. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. NUMBER 2, I'M INSERTING GROUND FLOOR. I DID VERIFY THAT THE TIFNT OF THE BILL WAS TO DEFINE, OR TO CALCULATE THE SIZE OF THE GROUND NEAR ONLY. SO THIS IS JUST CLARIFYING THAT. MOVE A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR A DO PASS AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR BACA. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE AMENDMENT? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ANYONE OPPOSED? THAT PASSES ON A 9-0. OF COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, AMENDMENT NUMBER 3. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

I MOVE A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR A DO PASS, AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR ROGERS. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. SO I JUST ADEQUATE JUSTIFICATION IS NOT DEFINED ANYWHERE IN THE BILL. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW EDGESES THAT SEEM TO COVER EVERY POSSIBILITY. SO LEAVING IN AN ALLOWANCE THAT SAYS, IF NONE OF THOSE FIT, YOU KNOW, YOU ASK NICELY, YOU MIGHT GET ONE, SEEMS A LITTLE OPEN ENDED AND WE MIGHT SEE UNFAIR AND INCONSISENT IMPLEMENTATION. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ANYONE OPPOSED? ONE OPPOSED. SO THAT PASSES ON AN 8-1. ANY OTHER AMENDMENTS? >> Coun. Champine: MADAM PRESIDENT, I HAVE A TOTAL OF, I BELIEVE, FOUR, DOLLARS HAVE BEEN THAT HAVE BEEN UPLOADED TO THE . GO TO AMENDMENT NUMBER 4, I BELIEVE. >> Coun. Bassan: ONE MOMENT WHILE I WATCH UP ON THE ONE DRIVE TOO. >> Coun. Champine: IT IS UP ON THE SCREEN. >> Coun.

LINE 9 IT AMEND THE DEFINITION OF VACANT PREMISES IN SECTION 14-24-3. AND BASICALLY, I'M JUST GETTING RID OF THE USA AND PUTTING IN ONLY. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, IS THERE A MOTION? >> Coun. Champine: I MOVE FOR A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR A DO PASS. IS THERE A SECOND? I WILL SECOND THAT HE, TO TAKES IT TO DISCUSSION. >> Coun. Champine: YES, MADAM PRESIDENT. THE DISCUSSION; I JUST WANT TO MAKE ITS VERY CLARIFIED THAT WE DON'T LEED LEAVE IT OPEN FOR LATER INTERPRETATION THAT WHEN IT SAYS THAT, IT IS THE ENTIRE BUILDING. I THINK THEY WANTED TO DEFINE IT IN THERE SAYING IT IS STRICTLY POINTED AT THE GROUND FLOOR, NOT NECESSARILY THE FLOORS ABOVE IT. AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE KEPT THAT CLEAR. >> Coun. Baca: MADAM PRESIDENT, WHILE I THINK I'M FINE FOR THE MOST PART, THIS IS ALREADY STATED IN THE PREVIOUS AMENDMENT BY COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, THAT IT IS GROUND FLOOR ONLY, SO I THINK THIS WOULD JUST BE SUPERFLUOUS, AND I'M NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THE AMENDMENT. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION. MR. COX IT USABLE FLOOR AREA, RIGHT? UFA? I MEAN, THIS IS ESSENTIALLY JUST CHANGING VERBIAGE. BUT WHAT IS THE DEFINITION, IF YOU COULD READ THE DEFINITION OF USABLE FLOOR AREA. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, USABLE FLOOR AREA IS THE NET FLOOR AREA OF A BUILDING WHERE PERSONS MAY MOVE ABOUT AND CARRY ON USUAL TASKS OR AREAS. THE UFA IS THE TOTAL AREA. SO THAT IS SAYING PLACES LIKE A HALLWAY OR A LOBBY, WE WOULD NOT MEASURE THAT AND CHARGE AS A VACANCY REQUEST THAT ADDED SPACE THAT CANNOT BE LEASED, BASICALLY. >> Coun. Bassan: SO MR. COCKS, , WITH THIS AMENDMENT, IF WE WERE TO CHANGE THAT, WOULD THAT NOW INCLUDE HALLWAYS AND OTHER AREAS? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, IT COULD BE INTERPRETED THAT WAY YES. >> Coun. Bassan: SO I GEFS I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK TO THE SPONSOR AND MAKE SURE THAT IS THE INTENT. >> Coun. Baca: NO, MADAM PRESIDENT, THE INTENT IS THAT WE ARE CLEAR SO THERE IS NO LACK OF INTERPRETATION LATER ON. IF THAT'S THE CASE, IF UFA IS -- IF I'M ASKING TO IMPLY MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT, NOT THE INTENT. IF THAT IS WHAT THE INTERPRETATION; I WILL WITHDRAW AMENDMENT NUMBER 4. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, I WOULD SAY AT THE RISK OF ADDING ADDED SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND I THINK JUST THE LANGUAGE, GROUND FLOOR, GETS TO THAT POINT. >> Coun. Bassan: THE SPONSOR HAS DECIDED TO WITHDRAW AMENDMENT NUMBER 4. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO AMENDMENT LABELED E IN YOUR IPADS. THIS IS AMENDMENT NUMBER 5. WE JUST DIDD AS IN DAN, AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO E, AS IN EVERYTHING. >> Coun. Champine: YES, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS WOULD BE AMENDMENT 4? >> Coun. Bassan: FIVE. >> Coun. Champine: FIVE IS ON PAGE 6, IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE FLOOR PLAN OF THE BUILDING, VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HOW THE FLORIDA SPACES AND UNITS ARE OCCUPIED. THIS IS IN CITY PLANNING ALREADY. WHEN BUT SUBMIT YOUR 34R57BS OF THE BE BUILDING, IT IS ALREADY THERE. THEY HAVE COPIES OF BLUE PRINTS AND SUCH. I THINK IT IS A REDUNDANCY OF THIS ORDINANCE TO ALLOW THIS,, O REQUIRE THIS IN CITY PLANNING. >> Coun. Bassan: I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS, STRIKING THE FLOOR PLAN WITH A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HOW THE DIFFERENT FLOORS AND UNITS ARE OCCUPIED, IF APPLICABLE, ALONG WITH THE AREA SPACE OF EACH FLOOR OR UNIT. >> Coun. Champine: MOVE A DO PASS PLEASE. >> Coun. Bassan: IS THERE A SECONDS? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR SANCHEZ. QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I THINK THIS KIND OF FALLS WITHIN THE PREVIOUS AMENDMENT, AS WELL. THE INTENT WAS SOME THESE PROPERTIES HAVE WIDE OPENED FLOOR PLANS, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THAT UNUSED SPACE, THOSE BATHROOMS, HALLWAYS, AND SO FORTH. THAT WAS THE INTENT. RIGHT NOW, IT A LOT OF THESE THAT I HAVE BEEN IN ARE COMPLETELY WIDE OPEN. WE HAVE TO BE PROACTIVE IN THAT CONTEXT. >> Coun. Champine: MADAM PRESIDENT, THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THE INSPECTION. IF THIS PASSES, AND CODE GOES OUT THERE TO INSPECT EACH ONE, A IT IS SAYS IN IT, THEY CAN NOTE AND SEE A BATHROOM IS A BATHROOM, AND WHERE IS HALLWAY IS, AND MEASURE THE ROOMS, AND NOT NECESSARILY GO OFF OF WHAT THE OWNERS ARE PUTTING FORTH. IF THEY WENT A BLUEPRINT, THEY GO TO CITY PLANNING. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: MADAM PRESIDENT, OR SPONSOR, I GUESS, COULD YOU THINK THERE IS SUFFICIENT STAFF TO DO THAT KIND OF MEASUREMENT IN THE FIELD? >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN. WE DID TALK TO PLANNING AS PART OF THIS ALL OF THIS, AND THEY SAID FROM WOULD BE AD QUITE STAFF WITH THE FEES GENERATED. HARD TO SAY, TO BE HONEST, BUT THEY FELT THEY WOULD. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: MADAM PRESIDENT, I GUESS I WAS JUST THINKING IT SEEMED A LOT LESS LABOR INTENSE DO YOU HAVE HAVE THE FLOOR PLAN PROVIDED BY THE BUILDING OWNER THAN HAVE OUR STAFF HAVE TO GO OUT AND MEASURE IT. BUT IF THEREFORE ENOUGH FUNDS, THEN THAT'S NOT A VALID POINT. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, COUNCILORS? COUNCILOR CHAMPINE TO CLOSE ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 5. >> Coun. Champine: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: ALL IN FAVOR, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. AND RAISE YOUR HAND. AND THEN ALL THOSE OPPOSED. SO THAT PASSES ON 6-3. NOW WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO AMENDMENT LABELED F, WHICH WILL BE 6. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT P ON PAGE 8, LINE 06, STRIKE SUBSECTION 14-24-A 6 BB IN ITS ENTIRETY AND I CAN EXPLAIN. I CAN GIVE EXPLANATION. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU HAD MADAM PRESIDENT. BASICALLY, THE REGISTRATION FEE AND WHAT IT IS SAYING IS STRIKING THE OFFERED FOR SALE AND THE LISTING PRICE MUST BE NO GREATER THAN 130 PERCENT OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE AS ESTABLISHED BY AN INDEPENDENT CHEF FAIR MARKET APPRAISAL. , THROUGH EXPERIENCE. AND THE REASON WHY I STRIKE THIS IS I BELIEVE IT IS OVER STEPPING THE BOUNDARIES OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND YOU'RE TELLING PEOPLE HOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO, HOW THEY ARE GOING TO SELL, AND HOW THEY ARE GOING TO RENT. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCIL HORSE, QUESTIONS COMMENTS? >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS IS THE SORT OF NEW LANGUAGE ADDED FROM THE BRIEF VERSION BASED ON INPUT FROM INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS. I PERSONALLY AM FINE EITHER WAY. HOWEVER, JUST IN GOOD FAITH THAT IS CORRECT WHY WE PUT IT IN THERE. IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WAS THE CITY, IT WAS ASSOCIATIONS AND GROUPS THAT FELT IT WASN'T NECESSARY H. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: MADAM PRESIDENT, SO WITH B GORNTION A AND C STILL IN THE BILL, IT SAYS THAT AS LONG AS IT IS ON THE MARKET AT ANY AMOUNT, IT HAS AN EXCLUSION, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY THE FEE? THAT IS, ANYTHING THAT IS BEING RENTED FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS A SQUARE FOOT, AS LONG AS IT IS ON THE MARKETED FOR THAT, THEY WILL NOT BE PAYING THAT FEE FOR BEING VACANT, IS THAT CORRECT? >> Coun. Champine: MADAM PRESIDENT COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, THAT'S CORRECT. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WAS ACCLAMATION OPENED DOWNTOWN BY THE CHURCH OF KIND WILLING TO. THEY HAD A FORE SALE SIGN UP ON THAT BILL FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS. THEY TURNED DOWN MULTIPLE OFFERS ABOVE WHAT IT APPRAISED FOR, BOTH PRIVATE INVESTORS, THE CITY, I CAN NAME SIX DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO PURCHASE IT FOR YEARS AND YEARS, AND THEY TURNED THEM ALL DOWN. THIS IS JUST A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS ACT INCOME GOOD FAITH. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN DID THAT ANSWER YOUR GHE. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: YES, IT DOES SHOW THAT WITHOUT THAT B, THIS WHOLE SECTION IS UNNEEDED AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT A, B, AND C BE REMOVED AT THAT POINT, BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN JUSTIFY NOT PAINING A FEE FOR, IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LISTING PRICE. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COUNCILOR CHAMPINE TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. AGAIN, I THINK WE ARE DANCING A FINE LINE OF TRYING TO FORCE PRIVATE OWNERS TO CONTROL WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO SELL, OR HOW MUCH THEY ARE GOING TO SELL. AGAIN, IF YOU OWN A PIECE OF PROPERTY, IT IS YOUR RIGHT AS A PROPERTY OWNER TO SELL IT AT WHAT PRICE YOU WANT, WHETHER IT IS FOREVER, OR DOESN'T. WE ARE DANCE ON A FINE LINE OF, AGAIN, IMPOSES ON TO BRIEFLT PROPERTY RIGHTS AND I CAN'T AGREE WITH THAT. SO I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: THE MOTION IS FOR DO PASS ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 6 FOR O-6. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT AGAIN. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES, AND RAISE YOUR HAND. ALL THOSE OPPOSED. 4-5. OKAY, THAT FAILS ON A 4-5 VOTE. MOVING ON TO AMENDMENT G. >> Coun. Champine: , THIS WILL THANK YOU,MADAM PRESIDENT. AMENDMENT ANY. 7 ON PAGE 10, 929. NUMBER 14. WE ARE BASICALLY STRIKING FUNDING ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES UNDER THIS DOWNTOWN VACANT PREMISES ORDINANCE, AND I CHANGE TO GO TO THE BUSINESS I AM ABOVE MEANT DISTRICT. -- IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. MOVE FOR A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR A DO PASS. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. WELL, I'D LIKE VESM SUPPORT THE BID INITIATIVE, WE TONIGHT HAVE A BID DOWNTOWN, IT DOESN'T EXIST. SO YOU CAN'T DO THAT. SECOND, THE FUNDS RIGHT NOW WOULD BE THROUGH THE MISHING AND ALL OF THAT, AND I DON'T THINK WE COULD EVEN DO THIS LEGALLY. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? FOR CLARIFICATION, MR. COX YOU DO WE HAVE A BID DOWNTOWN, OR I BELIEVE IT WAS A TIDD, BUT LET'S CLARIFY. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, THE BID HAS NOT COME FOR APPROVAL AND THE DOWN TOWN COMMUNITY IS STILL WORKINGS OBJECT GETTING THE NEEDED SITS FOR THE NEEDED PERCENTAGE OF PROPERTY OWNERS DOWNTOWN. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT MA. I STILL AGREE WITH THIS THAT IF IT IS GOING TO END RATE SOME MONEY AND IT IS FROM DOWNTOWN IN VIOLATION OF DOWNTOWN, THEN I THINK THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED, AND AGAIN, IT SHOULD BE A YEAR, SHUCK DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM THIS MONEY AND ADVICE WHERE IT GOES. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINTS SHOULD HAVE WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH DOWNTOWN LOCAL BUSINESSES. >> Coun. Bassan: IS THAT YOUR CLOSE COUNSEL? >> YES, IT IS MY CLOSE AND I YOU CANNER YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES, AND RAISE YOUR HAPPENED. ALL THOSE OPPOSED. THAT FAILS ON A 2-7 VOTE. COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, AMENDMENT LABELED H IS NUMBER 8. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. ON PAGE 12, LINE 25, INSERT A NEW SECTION FIVE THAT FOLLOWS, AND RENUMBER THE SUBSEQUENT SECTIONS ACCORDINGLY. ORDINANCE NOTIFICATION. THROUGH PROVISION. AND I CAN EXPLAIN FURTHER IF NEED BE. I MOVE FOR A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: ALL RIGHT THERE IS A SECOND BY COUNCILLOR ROGERS. I BELIEVE THAT WHAT YOU READ IS NOT WHAT'S BEING AMENDED. THE EFFECTIVE DATE IS WHAT THE AMENDMENT IS. >> THE EFFECTIVE DATE IS 5-27-25. NOTHING IN THERE SAYS THAT WE ARE CHANGING OR WORKING WITH THE DOWNTOWN PEOPLE. IF THIS PASSES, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ONCE THE CITY ZONING FOR EXAMPLE MEANT, OR WHOEVER DECIDES, TO GO OUT THERE AND EFFECT THIS, IT IS GOING TO THEN START VIOLATING PEOPLE AND REQUIRING THEM TO REGISTER. COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION OR RESIDENTIAL, IT TAKES TIMES, AND THIS INTENDS TO HELP AND BUILD UP THE DOWNTOWN AREA, WE NEED TO WORK WITH THEM. IT GIVES THEM THE TIME IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, TWO YEAR, OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS, TO WORK WITH THE DOWNTOWN PEOPLE AND SEE, HERE CERTIFICATE WHAT THOSE VIOLATIONS WOULD BE, HERE IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IMPROVED, AND WORK WITH THAIRNLINGS WILL YOU GO THEM TO TIME TO FIX, BECAUSE IF ANYBODY KNOWS CONSTRUCTION, IT TAKES FOREVER TO DO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, TO SUBS. THIS GIVES THEM TIME TO I AM ABOVE THE AREA OR SELL IT, AND THEN LETTING THEM KNOW AS OF JULY 1st OF 27, WE ARE NOW REQUESTING TO IMPLEMENT THIS PART OF ALLOWING THEM THE TIME TO WORK TOWARD SELLING THE PROPERTY OR FIX IT UP U. >> Coun. Baca: MADAM PRESIDENT, I AGREE WITH COUNCILOR CHAMPINE THAT WE NEED TO WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR PARTNERS, WHICH WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS YEAR, AND IT IS WRITTEN INTO THE ORDINANCE THAT NO FEES START, ON JULY 1st, THAT'S WHEN YOU WE START REGISTERING. SO IT IS ALREADY WRIT NENL THE BILL, WHAT COUNCILOR CHAMPINE IS LOOK FOMPLEGHT AND MOREOVER, I THINK IF YOU HAVE 40 YEARS TO THINK ABOUT IT, YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED ANOTHER TWO YEARS. LIKE MANY OF THE ISSUES THAT WE ARE DEALING, IMPORTANT ISSUES IN OUR STATE, THEY NEED TO BE WORKED ON FIVE YEARS AGO, TEN YEARS AGO. TO ADD MORE TIME TO DO THIS SLOWS DOWN EVERYTHING WE ARE TRYING AT THE DO TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY. SO I URGE THIS ONE BE SHOT DOWN. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, COMMENTS QUESTIONS ANYTHING ELSE? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES -- OH, I'M SORRY, PLEASE CLOSE. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT: RIGHT NOW, WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE ANY PENALTIES, SO THERE IS NO INCENTIVE, OR MLT, OR PUNISHMENT IF YOU'RE NOT REGISTERING OR YOU'RE NOT ACTIVELY FIX BEING YOUR PROPERTY OR TRYING TO SELL IT. ONCE THIS GOES INTO EFFECT, YES, YOU COULD SAY IT TAKES A YEAR, BUT IF I READ IT CORRECTLY, IF YOU DON'T START REGISTERING, THEN THE CITY CAN COME IN, FORCE TO YOU REGISTER AND START FINING YOU $500 PER DAY WHEN YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED. SO IT ACTUALLY DESCROAS AN EFFECT KIND OF PUT PGS A YEAR AWAY. THEN ON TOM OF, IT BASED ON YOUR SQUARE FOOTAGE, IT GOES FROM ANY TBRR A THOUSAND TO $5000, TO REGISTER, AND PENALIZE IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IF YOU DON'T DO IT YOU ARE PENALIZED NO MATTER WHAT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, A MAXIMUM IS L SQUARE FOOTAGE OF 5000-DOLLAR CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO PENALTIES AND THERE IS NO PUNISHMENT IF THEY DON'T DO NICK. ONCE THIS PASSES THERE DOES BECOME A PATIENTMENT. SO INSTEAD OF CARRYING A BIG STICK, WHY DON'T WE HAVE A GOOD SIZE CARROT TO I KNOW SENL AT THIS VIEZ THESE PEOPLE TO WORK WITH US. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS A DO PASTOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 8 ON O-6. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT FAILS ON A 3-6 VOTE. ANY OTHER AMENDMENTS, COUNCILORS, ON O-61? ALL RIGHT, WE ARE BACK ON THE BILL AS AMENDED. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I THINK A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE TALK TO THE COMMUNITY, IS YOU HEAR THE STORY OF ALBUQUERQUE IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES IN THE WORLD, AND THAT CAME OUT RECENT AND DOWNTOWN IS THE WORST PART OF THE WORST CITY. AND THAT'S THE STORY. AND THERE IS SOME TRUTH TO THAT, AND A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, FOR SHIEWMPLET AND SOMEWHERE MORE ALONG WAY, IT BECAME OKAY FOR THE MOST VISIBLE PART OF OUR CITY, ON THE ICONIC ROUTE 66, TO JUST SIT THERE, FALLING A PART. A LOT OF THESE EMPTY BUILDINGS, IT IS JUST A VACANT BUILDING THAT ATTRACTION NEGATIVE, IT IS A PART WHERE THEY ARE CONNECTED TO FELLOW BUILDINGS. I REGULARLY HAVE INDIVIDUALS, PROPERTY OWNERS SAYING, I THINK THAT THING IS GOING TO FALL ON ME, AND WE HAVE NO IDEAS WHAT THE STATUS OF IT, IT IS LITERALLY DECADES FOR THESE BUILDINGS. AND WE HAVE SHRUNK THE FOOT PRINT. IT IS TIME TO START CHANGING THAT STORY O, WHERE A CITY LET'S THINGS LANGUISH AND NOW, HEY, THAT'S NOT OKAY. LET'S CHANGE THAT. LET'S MAKE THINGS BETTER AND LET'S DO IT NOW. SO I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: BEFORE WE DO A FULL CLOSE, I DO WANT TO GIVE THE COUNCILORS ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITY TO AD ADDITIONAL N COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, WON THE BILL HAS BEEN AMENDED. ANYTHING ELSE, THEN WE WILL CALL THAT A CLOSE, UNLESS THE ADMINISTRATION HAS ANYTHING TO ADD? OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES OF O-61 AS AMENDED SEVERAL TIMES. AND PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSES ON A 7-2. MANY WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM E. >> Pres. Lewis: MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVE O-69, EANLDING AN AGREEMENT MANY DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE IF AMENDMENT PROCESS AND EASING RESTRICTIONS ON HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. I MOVE A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR DO PASS STLSM A SECOND? COUNCILLOR BACA WITH THE SECOND. >> Pres. Lewis: MADAM PRESIDENT, WE CAN GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT I THINK, IT FIRST, WE HAVE MR. MORROW GIVE AN OVERVIEW. THESE ARE CHANGES TO THE IDO. THERE IS WILL THE NUMBER OF AREAS OF CHANGES AND SOME LANGUAGE THAT HAVE SOME LOGIC TO THEM, SO WE WANT TO HAVE MR. MORROW GO OVER THAT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, O-69 DOES A NUMBER OF THINGS REGARDING AMENDING THE IDO. THE FIRST IN SECTION 1 IS TO EXEMPT CITY (INAUDIBLE) INCLUDES THE CITY, WHICH MAKES DEVELOPMENT OF CITY PROJECTS MORE DIFFICULT, AND THAN OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WITHIN THE CITY, SECTION 2 REGARDS APPEALS. THE FIRST PART OF IT IS TO CLARIFY THAT THE USE OF PUBLIC LANDS, INCLUDING PARKS, IS INSUFFICIENT. TO ESTABLISH A PARK PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT WOULD ALLOW STANDING TO APPEAL. THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS THAT IT HAS BEEN ARGUED IN PREVIOUS APPEALS THAT THE USE OF A PUBLIC PROPERTY WITHOUT OWNING PROPERTY NEARBY WAS SUFFICIENT TO JUSTIFY STANDING FORE APPEAL, AND THIS CLARIFIES THAT THAT IS INSUFFICIENT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A NEW PETITION REQUIREMENT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO HAVE STANDING TO APPEAL. CURRENTLY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS ARE GRANTED THAT STANDING BY VIRTUE OF BEING WITHIN 6 50E FEET OF SUBJECT PROPERTY. THIS REQUIRES NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO ACQUIRE THE SIGNATURE OF PROPERTY OPENERS WITHIN THAT TWO BLOCK AREA TO GAIN THAT STANDING TO APPEAL. IT DOESN'T EFFECT THE STANDING OF INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS, THEY STILL HAVE THEIR STANDING, IT IS JUST LIMITED TOTE RIGHT OF NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WITHOUT THAT PETITION. THE NEXT AMENDMENT IS A TECHNICAL AMENDMENT RELATED TO THE APPEAL RECORD. CURRENTLY, AS HAS BEEN THE PRACTICAL FOR MANY YEARS, THE RECORD OF THE LOWER HEARING IS A RECORDING AND THAT HAS BEEN TRANSCRIBED. THIS ADDS A 30 DAYTIME FRAME FOR WHICH THAT TRANSCRIPTION MUST BE TRANSMITTED, FOR USUALLY THE LUHO TO HEAR THE RECORD. HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN ADDITIONAL TIME TO VERIFY THE TRANSCRIPTION, WHICH MAKES IF CLEAR THAT THE UNDERLYING AUDIO RECORDING IS THE OFFICIAL RECORD, THAN THE TRANSCRIPTION, WHILE REQUIRED, IS THERE AS AN AID, RATHER THAN THE OFFICIAL RECORD. THAT'S SIMILAR TO HOW THE METROPOLITAN COURT WORK FOR LOWER COURT RULINGS. THE NEXT PORTION OF IT IS, IT CLARIFIES THAT FAILING TO PROVIDE NOTICE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IS NOT GROUNDS FOR REMAND, OR REVERSAL OF AN APPEAL. THE RATIONAL FOR THIS IS THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF APPEALS WHERE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS HAVE SHOWN UP AT THE LOWER HEARING AND PROVIDED PUBLIC COMMENT. HOWEVER, AFTER THEY HAVE APPEALED, THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AVAILABLE TO MAKE COMMENT, THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE UNDERLYING NOTICE OF HEARING, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE PRESENT. SO IT CAUSES DELAY TO REDO THE NOTICE. ARE THE NEXT PORTION IS CLAIRE NIEGHT CITY COUNCIL MAY AMEND THE IDO AT ANY TIME AND THE COUNCIL AMENDMENTS GO TO EPC. THIS COME FOR THE WITH THE CITY CHARTER. THE IDEA DOES SAY THAT CITY COUNCIL, OR THE IDO AMENDMENT MANY PROCESS DOES THROUGH THE EPC. HOWEVER, THE SCRK THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF THE CITY, AND SO YOU, AS LEGISLATORS, ARE ALLOWED TO CHANGE LAWS AT ANY TIME. THE DELEGATION IS UNNECESSARY. UNTIL VARIOUS CASES OVER THE YEARS, THE CITY HAS GONE FORWARD AND CHANGED THE IDO IN THE OFF CYCLE PROCESS. THIS CLARIFIES THAT THAT'S ALWAYS ALLOWED. THE NEXT AMENDMENT IS RELATED TO SMALL AREAS, THE SO-CALLED SMALL MAP AREA AMENDMENTS. THIS CLARIFIES THAT COUNCIL LIKER SPONSORS OF ANY AMENDMENTS, OR A SPONSOR SHIP BY REQUEST, THAT THAT DOES NOT PREJUDGE THE SMALL MAP AREA AMENDMENT. THE COUNCIL SITS AS A QUASIJUDICIAL BOARD. GENERALLY, THE SMALL MAP AREA QUESTIONS ARE COUNCILORS DOING SOMETHING IN THEIR OWN DISTRICT. TO MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE COUNCILORS ARE STILL ALLOWED TO HEAR AND PARTICIPATE IN THAT MATTER, THAT THE ACT OF SPONSOR SHIP, WHICH IS A TECHNICAL PIECE OF HOW COUNCIL PROCESS WORKS, DOES NOT INDICATE PREJUDGMENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE A COUNCILOR TO RECUSE THEMSELVES. ADDITIONALLY, BACK TO THE APPEAL SECTION, I APOLOGIZE THERE, THERE ALSO IS AN APPEAL COST SECTION WHICH WILL MAKE IT THE APPELLATE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THE LEGAL FEES OF THE APPEAL LEE IF THEY LOSE, AND THIS IS A MECHANISM TO HAVE DISCOURAGE FRIVOLOUS APPEALS. AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE TWO PIECES THAT ARE RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT ALONG MAIN STREETS, AND TRANSIT CORRIDORS, AND THOSE PIECES ARE TO ALLOW MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, AND SPECIFIC RESIDENTIAL ZONES, APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER MILE FROM THE MAIN STREET CORRIDOR. ESSENTIALLY ALONG OR NEAR ART STATIONS. THIS ISES TO FACILITATE INCREASED HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND INCREASED DENSITY MORE ALONG MAJOR TRANSIT CORRIDOR, AND SIMILARLY, THEY ARE IN THE SAME AREA, THERE IS A LIFTING OF THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION ON THESE MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS IT ENCOURAGE DENSITY ALONG THE ART REQUESTOR DOOR, AND THAT IS A BROAD SUMMARY OF WHAT THIS BILL DOES. >> Pres. Lewis: MADAM PRESIDENT, THANK YOU. AND COUNCILORS, I KNOW THERE ARE A NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS THAT WE WILL GO THROUGH, A FEW AMENDMENTS THAT WE WILL DISCUSS, BUT I THINK, MADAM PRESIDENT, WE CAN GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE WILL MOVE TO COMMENT. MR. CORNELIUS. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS PATRICIA WILSON, FOLLOWED BY ELEANOR WALTER. >> SHOULD I WAIT FOR THE MADAM PRESIDENT TO RETURN? I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE COUNCIL TO GET BACK. >> Pres. Lewis: GO AHEAD, MA'AM. >> I HAVE SUBMITTED FIVE LETTERS REGARDING THIS BILL. I HOME YOU REAZ THEM. O-69 IS ANOTHER PIECE OF HAIR ON FIRE, SKY IS FALLING LEGISLATION. SUPPORTERS STRESS THE URGENT NEED TO PASS THIS RIGHT NOW, BUT THIS MESSY, NONTRANSPARENT GOVERNANCE WITH NOW TRUNCATED PUBLIC COMMENT IS SIMPLY SAUSAGE MAKE YOU CAN IN THE DARK OF NIGHT. THIS ONE REVIEW, NO TRANSPARENCY, NO OVERSIGHT. O 69 IS FRAUGHT WITH UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES MUCH IT IS NOT ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSE BEING OR HOMELESSNESS, IT IS ABOUT VIEW LEGS OF DUE PROCESS AND DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF COMMUNITY. I ONLY STAYED THIS LONG TO EXPRESS MY OUTRAGE AND SADNESS. I CANNOT BEAR TO SIT HERE THROUGH FLOOR AMENDMENTS AND WATCH MORE SAUSAGE OF MAKING TO SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT. SO GOOD NIGHT, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. THANK YOU. >> ELEANOR WALTER. FOLLOWED BY PEGGY MARTIN. >> COUNCILLOR BASSAN AND COUNCILORS, I ALSO HAVE SUBMITTED A LETTER WHICH I HOPE YOU'VE READ, BECAUSE THIS ONE MINUTE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE ISSUES. GENERALLY THIS BILL IS NOT ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR HOMELESSNESS. IT IS INTENT IS TO DIGS END FRANCHISE THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC IN HAVE I THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND CONCENTRATE POWER AMONGST FEWER OFFICIALS. I'M OPPOSED TO O-69 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. THE CLAIM THAT THE HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS HAS BEEN EXACERBATED BY SOME PROVISIONS IN THE IDO IS WITHOUT FACT. SECTION 1 KEEPS THE CITY FROM FOLLOWING THE IDO, THE CITY'S OWN RULES. THE SEX 2 CREATES HARDSHIP FOR APPEAL LIGHTS, REQUIRE THEM TO HAVE COURT COSTS AND REQUIRING SIGNATURES FROM NEIGHBORS, THAT'S NOT REQUIRED OF THE APPEALLEE. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND COUNCILORS. MY NAME IS PEGGY NORTON. I'M REPRESENTING THE NORTH VALLEY COALITION. OUR STREET IS MAIN STREET CORRIDOR, RIGHT THROUGH THE HEART OF THE NORTH VALLEY. WE HAVE NOT HAD A PLANNING ASSESSMENT AREA, SO IT IS DIFFICULT THERE ARE NUMEROUS RENTAL SIGNS ALL OVER THE CITY. IS THAT MY ONE MINUTE ALREADY? >> Coun. Bassan: GO AHEAD AND FINISH YOUR ONE THOUGHT THERE. >> I SUBMITTED A LETTER. I HAD HIGH POINTS TO NOT HAVE THE CITY COMPLYING WITH THE IDO IS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT AND DOESN'T GUARANTEE DEVELOPMENT. THE 660 FEET, YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT FEEL BEING OUT OF STATE LANDOWNERS, HEDGE FUNDS, INVESTMENT FUNDS HOW DO YOU GET THESE SIGNATURES ON PROPERTIES, AND THE LACK OF NOTIFICATION, NOT BEING A REASON FOR APPEAL. THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, BEFORE WE PROCEED, WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO MOVED TO ZOOM. DO YOU WANT ME TO GET TO THOSE TO QOIBS YES, KNOWS WHO MOVED TO ZOOM, WE WILL STEP YOU IF YOU SIGNED UP IN GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON, AND WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU WHEN WE MOVE TO ZOOM. >> NEXT IS JANE, FOLLOWED BY DWAYNE, FOLLOWED BY HAVE A ?EAS. >> MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILORS, O-14-69 IS AN UNAMBIGUOUS EFFORT TO AMEND THE IDO, DESCRIBED IN THE IDO, ENACTED BY CITY COUNCIL. IT SPECIFIC I AT THE PRESENT TIME IS IT TO DAYS END TBRAN CHOICE RESIDENTS AND INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS, ESPECIALLY RECOGNIZING NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. THOSE WITH DOCUMENTED COMPLIANCE IN BRA. IT IS ABUNKED ON THELY COMPLIANCE WAS CONTINUED TODAY LIMIT PUBLIC END GHAIJT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE. IF YOU BELIEVE THERE IS MERIT TO HOT, SUBMIT THEM IN THE 2025 IDO BY A MAIL REVIEW PROCESS. IF THEY HAVE A BASIS IN EVIDENCE AND DEMONSTRATE AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE, IT WILL WITHSTAND PUBLIC SCRUTINY NN AND THE FULL IS IDO REDESIGN PROCESS. I REQUEST THAT YOU WITHDRAW AND RESUME MAKING ZONING LAW CHANGES USING IS THE PROCESS DESCRIBED IN THE IDO WHICH ALLOWS. ROBUST PUBLIC ENGAGE MEANT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> DARLENE McNIGHT. >> PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, I'M HERE ONLY THE WELLS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. IT WAS REQUESTED IN OUR COMMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL THAT YOU VOTES TO DEFER THIS, OR VOTE IT DOWN AT THIS TIME. WE ARE SHE CONCERNED BOB THE BROAD IMPLICATIONS AND THE PROCESS CHANGINGS IN THIS, 245 WILL HAVE ON RESIDENTS AND THE ABILITY TO ADVOCATE FOR COMMUNITIES AND OF COMPLETE WITH THE IDO. WE BELIEVE IT REQUIRES THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION. AS A BARE MINIMUM, IS THE BURDEN BY NEB IN E. NEXT SHOULD BE BUT THE OWN DEVELOPERS. IF THEY ARE JUST AS CONCERNED AS. APPEAL BY DEVELOPERS HAVE EXPEND CITY RESOURCE HE IS, THE WELLS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD SOCIAL I GOES AGREE CHANGES ARE NECESSARY TO INCREASE HOUSING IN ALBUQUERQUE, AND WE HAVE SUPPORTED HIGHER DENSITY PROJECTS IN OUR AREA. HOWEVER, WE DON'T PEEP BELIEVE COUPLING THE HOUSING DENSITY IN THIS ORDINANCE WITH SEVERE PROCESS CHANGES IS APPROPRIATE OR REASONABLE. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS HAVE A ?EAS, AND I WANT TO REMIND THAT YOU I AM THE PRESIDENT OF QUAKER HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AT WELL A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS S IN BOTH OF THOSE POSITIONS IS OF I KNELT RECEIVED CORRESPONDENCE TBHOOR THEIR POSITION IS WITH ANY SORT OF APPEAL, AND AGAIN, THEY ARE OPERATING IN A VACUUM, AND IT IS A SILO CHAMBER, AN ECHO CHAMBER, WHERE FEW PEOPLE ARE MAKING CHANGES. THERE IS A GENTLEMAN IS BY THE NAME OF MICHAEL VORHEES THAT CLAIMS TO REPRESENT ME AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND I HAVE NEVER MET THIS INDIVIDUAL. I URGE YOU TO IGNORE HIM. THERE ARE A GROUP OF PEOPLE MAKING DECISIONS OFF OF WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE ACHIEVED, AND THEY ARE NOT DISSEMINATING INFORMATION AND I URGE YOU VERY STRONGLY TO NOT SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION. >> PRES AND MEMBERS, MY NAME IS ALI. OVER A DECADE, I HAVE DEDICATED MY LIFE TO CREATING EARLY CHILD HOOD FACILITIES IN I KNOW ALBUQUERQUE. OWED LEARNED THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH. THE SUCCESS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IS LINKED TO STABLE HOUSE. HOWEVER, OUR CURRENT ABOUT YOU PEEL PROCESS. CREATED OBSTACLESES. I DON'T SEE AN EXTENSION OF COSTS, I SEE FAMILIES WAITING FOR HOMES, MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE BILLION CHILDREN'S FUTURE AND YOU'RE COMMUNITY GROWTH BEING 4E8D BACK. THE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED IN THIS IT BRIL OFFER A SOLUTION TO THESE CHANGES. THEY PROVIDE BORDER COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENT. I MUST EMPHASIZE, NIECE CHANGES DO NOT DIMINISH THE FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY INPUT, THEY ENHANCE IT BY ENSURING OUR YOU APPEAL PROCESS, FOR HOTS INTENDED PURPOSE, ADDRESSING GENUINE COMMUNITY CONCERNS. I RESPECTFULLY URGE THE COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THIS BILL. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCIL HORSE, I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE MARK TWAIN NEXT. NEIGHBORHOODASSOCIATIONS. IT IS VERY CONCERNING WHEN THE COUNCIL BRO POSES IS LEGISLATION TO SUPPRESS THE VOICE OF ITS CONSTITUENTS. THE HOUSING PROBLEM IS VERY COMPLEX MULTI-FACETTED. THIS BILL SIDE STEPS TO THE IDO TO PRIORITIZE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW MULTI-FAMILY, OR HIGH DENSITY HOUSING ALONG THE CORRIDORS TARGETED, WHICH MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS ADJACENT. IT WILL ALSO PERMIT PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDED ACQUISITION OF WHOLE RESIDENTIAL STREETS ALONG THESE PERIMETER IT IS AND CONVERSIONS TO HIGH LIES, HIGH DENSITY MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS. IT WILL NO MORE SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF HOMELESSNESS AND PEOPLE LIVING ON OUR STREETS THAN DID THE A.R.T. REVITALIZE CENTRAL AVENUE AND INVIGORATE THE ECONOMY. THANK YOU A. >> ALEX FISHER. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS ALEX FISHER. I LIVE HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. I'M HE IS SPECIAL POLICE IMPACTED BY RISING HOUSING PRICES IN ALBUQUERQUE. I'M HERE TO VOICE MY SUPPORT FOR THE O-69 BILL. THIS WILL INCREASE HOUSE ANYTHING PLATESES WHERE MORE HOWSING IS USABLE, NEAR MAIN STREETS AND TRANS EIGHT. ALONG L ART STATIONS AND CENTRAL, MORE AFFORDABLE TO LIVE IN AND WALK. THIS WILL REDUCE BARRIERS. IT WILL BRIE VENT APPEALS THAT ONLY SERVE TO L DELAY CONSTRUCTION AND INCREASE CONSTRUCTION COSTS. REQUIRING APPEALS TO HAVE MAJORITY NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT. WILL HELP ENSURE THAT THE PROFITS ARE USED. I HOPE YOU SUPPORT THIS BILL AND ANY OTHER MEASURE YOU CAN TO INCREASE HOW LONGING BEING TBHILT ALBUQUERQUE. >> CARLOS, FOLLOWED BY MARK, FOLLOWED BY DEB. >> COUNCIL MEMBERS, I AM ON THE BOARD OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IF AND I'M PROUD TO BE ON IT. AND I AM HERE TO STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS BILL, BECAUSE OUR HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS IS REAL. HOMELESSNESS IS A HOUSING ISSUE. WHEN HOUSING BECOMES UNAFFORDABLE, IT FORCES PEOPLE INTO DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. HAVING TO FIND ROOM MAIRKTS MOVING BACK IN WITH FAMILY, STAYING IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, OR LOSING THEIR HOME ALL TOGETHER AND NOT HAVING HELP WITH GOVERNMENT CIRCUMSTANCES. THOSE SLEEPING ON THE HCH STREETS ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. LAST YEAR, A NONPROFIT THAT PROVIDES DAY CARE WAS AT CAPACITY FIRST TIME IN HISTORY AND WE HAVE ONLY SEEN THE VERY TIP OF THE ICEBERG. IF THEY ARE CONTINUED TO CRIMINALIZE HOMELESSNESS, WE NEED THIS COUNCIL TO NINE ADDRESS A GOOD CAUSE, BUSINESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE ASSESSMENT THAT CAME OUT IN JULY, MADE IT CLEAR, SINGLE FAMILY ZONING AS MANY THE MAJOR DRIVER OF HOUSING CRISIS. IT WILL JUST HE BE A A SMALL STEP IN THAT DIRECTION. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCIL LOVERS, I URGE THE COUNSELOR TO PASS O OF THE, BECAUSE WE STAND AT AM CROSSROAD, ONE WHERE WE BUILD ENOUGH HOUSING FOR ALL THE FUTURE ALBUQUERQUE ANSWER THAT WANT TO LIVE IN UNTIL STATE GRATE STATE AND GREAT CITY. THIS BILL IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. TO INCREASE OUR WOE FULLY DIMINISHING HOUSING STOCK. ALONG CRITICAL CORRIDORS THAT WILL INCREASE LIVE ABILITY, MAINTAINING THE STATUS QUO IS NOT VIABLE. IT IS NOT WORKING. WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME WHERE IT IS NOT WORKING. WE NEED TO DO CHANGES AND WE NEED TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES IF WE ARE PLANNING ON LIVING HERE AND GOING INTO THE FUTURE. I URGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO PASS IT. >> GLSM I STRONGLY SUPPORT O-69, ESPECIALLY AS THE APPEAL PROCESS. I SUPPORT EXEMPTING CITY OWNED PROMPTS FROM THE IDO. THE CITY NEEDS PLEABLGHTS TO ADDRESS URGENT NEEDS, LIKE CONSTRUCTING SHELTERS AND CONSTRUCTIONING PARKS. MANY OF THESE GROUPS MANY AVOID OPEN MEETING LAWS AND WORK TWOWT OVERSIGHT IN SO-CALLED COLLISIONS WHICH ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OR FRARNTS. THEY HAVE ABUSE STLES? APPEALS NEAR IN UNIVERSITY AND GOLD, EXACTLY THE TYPE OF HOUSING WE NEED. PLEASE VOTE YES. >> OF. >> MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL, THANK UP FOR HEARING US TONIGHT. I SUPPORT HIGH DENSITY HOUSING AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. BUT THIS BILL DOESN'T PROVIDE IT. IT DOESN'T PROVIDE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE NEED. TO REALLY HELP OUR HOMELESS PEOPLE. INSTEAD, IF PURPORTS TO BE KIND TO THE HOMELESS, BUT THERE ARE OTHER THE PEOPLE, TOO. AND IF YOU WANT TO BE KIND IT ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE, AND UNKIND TO ANOTHER GROUP, NOT EVEN HEAR THEM, NOT CONSIDER THEIR VIEWS OR THEIR POSITIONS, THEN THAT'S NOT REALLY KIND, IT IS JUST A WAY TO TRANSMIT DISINFORMATION, AND TO USE THE WRONG CONTEXT TO TRY TO MAKE MONEY. PLEASE DEFER THIS BILL UNTIL THERE IS FILE TO DISCUSS IT AND WORK OUT THAT HE PROVISIONS. WE DO NEED THE HIGH DENSITY HOUSING AND THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME. >> ANTONIO MAESTAS. >> THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND HONORABLE MANY MEMBERS. DISTRICT 26. I DIME VISIT CAN YOU ALL IN FAVOR OF ORDER 24-69, GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE. MADAM PRESIDENT. AND I'M GOING TO BE PROPOSING LEGISLATION THIS NEXT COMING MONTH, SIMILAR PROVISIONS, USING STATE WIDE PREEMPTION TO CLARIFY FOR THE COURTS WHO IN FACT, IS ARMED TO BRING AN APPEAL FORWARD. NEIGHBORS AND ASSOCIATIONS DON'T LOSE ANY POWER WITH THESE REASONABLE AMENDMENTS, BUT IN FACT, HAVE TO BE MORE DEMOCRATIC. THEY HAVE TO GET SIGNATURES, THAT'S REASONABLE. THEY NEED TO STAND IN FRONT OF THIS COMMITTEE AND SHOW YOU THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT'S HAPPENING, MADAM PRESIDENT, IS THIS PRO DISES HAS BEEN WEAPONIZEDDED AND THESE REASONABLE PROVISIONS, I THINK, ADD TO ECONOMIC GROWTH AND STOP THE BLEEDING OF NATURAL GENERATIONAL WEALTH. -- I MEAN, OVERCOMING GENERATIONAL POVERTY. THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILORS. PLEASE SEE THIS BILL FOR WHAT IT IS. IT IS NOT A BILL THAT ADDRESSES HOMELESSNESS, AND SATISFIES EMPATHY FOR THE UNHOUSED. IT GOES WAY BEYOND ITS ALLEGED PURPOSE. IT IS FEEGD OFF THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND IGNORES THE REASON WHY THAT PROCESS AT TIMES SEEMS TO, AND MUST BE CONTROLLING. THAT PROCESS IS WHAT ALLOWS THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE TO BE HEARD. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT THE MAJORITY, OR THE MOST WOMEN FUNDED. AND THIS IS OUR RIGHT, THAN BILL WOULD COST THAT RIGHT. I SUBMITTED A LETTER TO COUNCIL ON MY DETAIL OF THE BILL, AND I HAVE A COPY OF IT HERE, IF YOU WANT IT FOR THE RECORD. BUT BASICALLY, THE BILL SWEEPINGLY REMOVES CITY PROJECTS ON LAND UNDER ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE IDO, IT GIVES THE COUNCIL UNFELTERRED POWER IN APPROVING APPLICATIONS WITHOUT REQUIRING EPC APPROVAL, ETC., AND AT THE BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS OUR LAND. CITIZENS OF THE CITY'S LAND, AND IT IS OUR VOICE THAT SHOULD BE DECIDING. THINK OF THE PEOPLE, THE CONSTITUENTS, NOT IGNORE OUR VOICES M OUR VOICES AREN'T SILENT. AND PLEASE VOTE NO ON THIS BILL. THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, THIS BILL DOES NOT ADEVICE THE MANY AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS. THE CITY MUST CONFORM WITH THE IDO AS A ROLE MODEL TO DEMONSTRATE THE WORKABILITY OF THE IDO TO ALL PARTIES. THIS RESTRICTS AND NULLIFIES PUBLIC INPUT AND AGREE DO TO APPEAL TO THE DISCRIMINATORY BARGAINS. IT RESTRICTS PEOPLE TO USE PUBLIC LANDS, IT RESTRICTS THE UNREASONABLE PETITION REQUIREMENTS. IT RESTRICTS THE PEOPLE FROM USE OF THE LACK OF NOTIFICATION AS YIEWNDZ FOR APPEAL. IT RESTRICTS FOR A PUNITIVE BUT DEBBIE A PROPERTY OWNER AND ASSOCIATION. IT LEAVES A DECISION TO THE DEVELOPER. IT RESTRICTS THE. POW OTHER OF THE COUNCIL TO BYPASS THE EPC AND CURRENTLY DENY THE PUBLIC INPUT THE EPC AFFORDS. IT RESTRICTS CONSISTENCY OF CHARACTER PRO SEXES, OVERLAYS, MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR SPONSORING COUNCIL TO ALTER, OPENING THE POSSIBILITY TO ASK UNDER LIMITED HEIGHT DWELLINGS IN A HALF MILE SWATH BORDERING MAIN STREET R THE UNLIMITED HOUSING RESTRICTS THE -- THE UNLIMITED HEIGHT HOUSING RESTRICTS -- AND SIGHT LINES. RECUSAL SHOULD BE BASED ON ETHICAL GUIDELINES. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS RENEE, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY, THIS IS A A SIGNATE LEGISLATION THAT HAS HUGE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE RESIDENTS OF ALBUQUERQUE. THIS WAS JUST INTRODUCED BEFORE THE HOLLY DAYS WITH NO PRIOR NOTIFICATION. I JUST FOUND OUT A FEW DAYS AGO ABOUT THIS IT, AND I'M THE CONTACT PERSON. WE HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO QUICKLY GET A LETTER IN THAN CHANGES A LOT OF ZONING, FROM CHANGING ZONING FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO MULTI-FAMILY WITHIN A QUARTER FILE OF MAIN STREET CORRIDORS WITH NO NOTICE TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WILL BE EFFECTED. IT ALSO REMOVES THE BUILDING HEIGHT LIMITS WITHIN THIS AREA. THIS ALSO WOULD HAVE HUGE NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS AND TO LIMIT THE APPEAL STANDING FOR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WHO REPRESENT PEOPLE. WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO GET SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS NOT LEGAL. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS LEGAL. AND WE HAVE SENSITIVE AREAS. IF WE HAVE TO APPEAL SOMETHING BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PRO TEJT THE AREAS THAT WE VALUE, OUR HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS, OR PETROGLYPHS, OUR OPEN SPACE, WE ARE STANDING THERE TO GET BETTER DEVELOPMENT, AND WE DO GET DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OF OUR INVOLVEMENT. SO THIS YOU SHOULD WITHDRAW. THIS IS TOTALLY, I DON'T SEE THAT AS BEING LEGAL, AND WE ARE BUILDING A LOT OF APARTMENTS, BECAUSE I LIVE ON THE WEST SIDE, AND THEY ARE NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, CITY COUNCILORS, MY NAME IS WILLIAM AND I'M A CIVIC LIAISON FOR THE CIVIC ORGANIZATION STRONG ABQ. I PRESENT AN OPEN LETTER WITH 150 OF OUR MEMBERS IN SUPPORT OF THIS ORDINANCE. THIS REPRESENTS EVERY DISTRICT WITHIN OUR CITY, AND OVERWHELMING WHETHER I OUR MEMBERS HAD APPROACH THIS APPROACH AND GENTLY INCREASING DIVERSE DENSITY. OUR MEMBERS HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF CAPITALIZING ON THE TRANSIT CORRIDORS WITH LOW RISK, HIGH APPROACH APPROACH. THEY IDENTIFY WALK OF CONNECTED COMMUNITIES TO LIVE AND THRIE. YOU'RE PEOPLE WANT TO CITY THAT CAN ATTRACT NEW RESIDENTS AND THAT'S ONLY POSSIBLE THROUGH INCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR WIDER END COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. HAD CENTERED ON KEY LAB RANGE. SINCE OUR FOUNDING LAST YEAR, WE HAVE STRIVED TO HAVE CITIZENS ACROSS ALBUQUERQUE. DOING NOTHING IS NOT A PLAN. WE HAVE ALREADY TRIED THAT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, I'M A LOCAL RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT. I OWN A LOCAL RESIDENTIAL AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THAT MAINLY BUILDS HUNDREDS OF UNITS FROM LOS LUNAS TO SANTA FE AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. MY TEAM AND I HAVE ENGAGED IN EVERY JURISDICTION ACROSS NEW MEXICO, BUT INCREASINGLY IN THE MIDDLE OF ALBUQUERQUE. WE WERE NOT ALONE. THE PROCESS IN ALBUQUERQUE ISN'T MUCH LEGAL OR TECHNICAL ASS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS IN ALBUQUERQUE IT IS LARGELY ADMIT QUALITY. IT CAUSE DELAYS AND CREATES UNCERTAINTY WHICH DAYS SITUATIONS DEVELOPERS LIKE US. THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE. DEVELOPMENT IS DOWN, AND HOUSE PGS CASTS ARE UP. WHILE THERE IS 2340 MAKE SICK PILL THIS ORDINARY AS SOON AS IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD. WE HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS APPEALS, AND WATCHED OTHER MANY GET MANY DERAILED BY ANTIGROWTH GROUPS. FOR THE SMALL PRICE OF A NOMINAL APPEAL FEE. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT TONIGHT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, I'M CLIENT HUB ARRESTED, I WAS IN THE LIST THERE,. >> MY APOLOGIES. >> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MADAM PRESIDENT APPEAR COUNCILORS, I'M CLIENT HUBBARD. I'M A ONLY END IN DISTRICT 6 SINCE 1990. I LIVE BETWEEN LEAD AND COAL AND NOB HILL. I AM IN THE ZONE THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY O-69. AS YOU KNOW, THIS BILL DID NOT GO TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING COMMISSION, OR THE LAND USE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE. I WOULD LIKE BOTH OF THESE COMMITTEES TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN. AS YOU KNOW, REMOVING HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS IS A SEISMIC CHANGE. I REQUEST THAT O-69 BE SEPTEMBER THROUGH THE USUAL AND CUSTOMARY PROCESS SO THOSE OF US WHO LIVE WITHIN THE EFFECTED AREA CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PROPOSED CHANGES. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS AND PRESIDENT. MY NAME IS BERNADETTE. I'M HERE AS A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 6, AND SECRETARY OF TRUMBULL VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ARE HERE IN OPPOSITION OF ORDINANCE 69. THIS IS NATIVE LAND. NATIVE PEOPLE HAVE DIRECT CONNECTION TO THIS LAND LONG BEFORE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES WERE DRAWN. BUT THIS TAKES AWAY OUR PEOPLE STANDING TO APPEAL THE IDO ZONE CHANGES BASED ON A PERSON'S USE OF PUBLIC LAND, NULLIFYING ANY ARGUMENT THAT TRIBES AND PUEBLOS MIGHT MAKE TO TRIBAL CONSULTATION. THIS BILL GIVES THE DEVELOPER POWER OVER PEOPLE. THE POWER AT THE L BUILD IN YOUR WORDS, UNINTENDED CONES QENSES. AND -- CONSEQUENCES IT. AND USING THE HOUSE SOMETHING CRISIS AS A EXCUSE. DON'T BE AFOOLED P WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THERE ARE PEOPLE HOMELESS BEHIND ME. WE NEED AFFORDABLE, IT HAS TO BE IN THIS BILL. NOWHERE IN THIS BILL DOES IT HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THIS ORDINANCE IS NOT CON-DO YOU HAVE AS I HAVE TO THE WELL FAIR OF THE PEOPLE OF ALBUQUERQUE. WE NEED MORE TIME TO FIX IT. THIS ORDINANCE, VOTE NO. >> GOOD EVENING CITY COUNCIL AND MADAM PRESIDENT. MY NAME IS MONIQUE. TO MAKES ME ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED THAT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE PUTTING SO MANY RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMMUNITY'S RIGHT TO APPEAL DECISIONS THAT EFFECT OUR COMMUNITY. MANY BY ALLOWING THESE RESTRICTIONS, THE DEVELOPERS CAN COME IN AND BUILD AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. EVEN IF THAT MEANS DESTROYING PROTECTED SACRED LAND AND WATER, WHICH IS UNJUST AND FAIR, AND SIMPLY DISGUSTING. PLEASE VOTE NO ON COUNCIL ORDINANCE 69 P THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, CITY COUNCIL, I AM ASKING YOU TO PASS O 69. MY NAME IS DEITER HANDDICKY. I'M AN RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 4. ALBUQUERQUE A FEW YEARS BACK BUILT THIS BRIGHT NEW BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM, THE A.R.T. SYSTEM, BEAUTIFUL BUS STATIONS, AND WE PAID $125 MILLION, SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE, TO BUILD THIS GREAT BUS HAPPIED TRANSIT SYSTEM. THERE IS NO REASON TO NOT HAVE HOUSING AROUND THIS BRAND NEW PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT EVERYONE CAN USE IT, AND GET AROUND, AND TO MAKE SURE IT IS FULLY UTILIZED. SO I IMPLORE YOU TO PASS O 69, IS SO WE CAN USE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MAXIMUM EFFECTED IT USAGE. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILORS. AS I SAID BEFORE, THE ANSWER IS MORE HOUSING. THIS IS GREAT. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS BILL. I'M BE OBVIOUSLY IN SUPPORT OF O 69. I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE ALLOWANCE FOR MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING NEAR THE MAIN STREET CORRIDORS. AND ESPECIALLY NEXT TO THE A.R.T. STATIONS. THE PUBLIC TRANSIT AND HOUSING GO HAPPENED IN HAPPENED AND THE TWO WILL MAKE EACH OTHER BETTER. THAT'S A GREAT FIRST STEM FOR BETTER ZONING IN THE CITY. THIS ZONING IS AM GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE NEED FOR A STRONG AND WALK CITY IN ALBUQUERQUE. ZONING IS IMPORTANT. I'M NOT SAYING GET RID OF ZONING, BUT THIS IS A GREAT CHANGE. WE NEED MORE HOUSING AND MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING THE BEST WAY TO BUILD QUALITY HOUSING AT AFFORDABLE PRICES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORTING THIS BILL. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. HAPPY NEW YEAR. MY NAME IS LETSLY PADILLA. I'M AN ATTORNEY IN PRIVATE PRACTICE AND I SERVE ON THE PARK LAND HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IN DISTRICT 6. I WANT TO HAVE FOCUS ON THE ATTORNEY FEES FOR PROVISION, BECAUSE IT IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF THE BILL'S MALIGN INTENT. IT WOULD CEMENT THE MR. POWER DYNAMIC HE IS. IT IS DISAPPOINT TO GO SEE THE WEAPON SAYINGS OF ATTORNEY FEES HERE. AS TWO YALE LAW PROFESSORS RECENTLY WROTE, IF YOU WANT TO BIN BATTLES WITH AN INCAPACITATING STRIKE, YOU MAKE IT AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR ADVERSARY IS TO CHALLENGE THOSE DECISIONS IN COURT. THIS IS WHAT THAT BILL WOULD DO. REQUIRING THE APPEAL LATE TO L PAY THE ATTORNEY FEES IS CLEARLY DESIGNED TO SWAY ANY CHALLENGE FIRST OF FIRST PLACE. NOT JUST YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, BUT FROM INDIVIDUALS. MOST INDIVIDUALS IN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS HAVE VERY LITTLE, OR NO ABILITY TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN ATTORNEYS, MUCH LESS THE LEGAL FEES OF THE OTHER SIDE. THIS PROVISION WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF ALLOWING LAND USE DECISIONS NO MATTER HOW BADLY DECISION. I URGE YOU TO OPPOSE THIS BILL OORKS AT A MINIMUM, IMPROVE THE BILL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, MY NAME IS BILL ASHFORD. I RESIDE AND LIVE IN DISTRICT 6. I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD ZONED R 1. I'M WITHIN AM QUARTER MILE OF THE MSTP REGION. THINK BILL WILL AFFECT MY ABILITY TO ENJOY MY BRORT. IF MY NEIGHBORS ARE ALLOWED OR THE DEVELOP LETTERS ARE ALLOWED TO BUILD BUILDINGS OF UNLIMITED HEIGHT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD HA WOULD NEGATIVE EFFECT MY ABILITY TO ENJOY MY PROPERTY. IF A PROPERTY END ERROR A BUILD SEVERAL ALLOWED TO BUILD A MULTI-FAMILY AT THIS FAMILY WHICH IS THREE DWEBLGS OR MORE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THEN I WILL HAVE MY ABILITY TO EBB JOY MY PROPERTY NEGATIVELY EFFECTED. I THREAM WE NOT APPROVE THIS, EITHER DRASTIC AND ILL CONCEIVED MANY IDEAS, AND IT IS AT ODDS WITH THE ALBUQUERQUE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. DO I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. FIRST OF ALL SPHRK THE CITY IS NOT HELD TO THE IDO, THEN WHAT ZONING STANDARD WILL THEY BE HELD TO. SECOND QUESTION IS, DO THE SPONSORS OF THIS BILL FEEL THAT MANY THE NUMBER ONE OF OBSTRUCTION TO BUILDING HOMELESSNESS, OR HOMELESSNESS HOUSE SOMETHING THE IDO? IS THAT TRUE WHAT I THE NUMBER ONE OBSTRUCTION TO WILLING THOSE IN I'M CURIOUS ON THOSE TWO QUESTIONS COULD BE ADDRESSED, THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU HAVE. >> I'M ASKING YOU TO VOTE NO ON O 24-69. THE CITY SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE IDO. MUCH EFFORT WAS PUT INTO ENSURING THAT NEIGHBORHOODS HAD AVOIDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR CITY. THERE IS A LOT IN THE DOCUMENTS ABOUT KEEPING CHARACTERING AND KEEPING THE SPECIAL PLACES IN ALBUQUERQUE SPECIAL. THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN THE NEIGHBORS. DEVELOPERS ARE SOLE GOAL TO HE TO MAKES MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE ON THE PROJECT. THEY BELIEVE THAT'S THEIR JOFNLT BUT WITHOUT INPUT FROM RESIDENTS, THERE IS NO GUARDRAIL AND THE CITY WILL LIKELY APPROVE EVERYTHING THE DEVELOPERS ASK FOR, I MEAN, WHY NOT? I UNDERSTAND WE NEED MORE HOUSING, MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. DO YOU THINK THE DEVELOPERS CARE IFS AFFORDABLE? YOU ARE NOT ASKING THEM TO BUILD FL HIGH END EXPENSIVE HOUSING. IT IS NOT GOING 20TH TUESDAY AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THIS IS OUR CITY. OUR HOME MUCH THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US. PLEASE DON'T DISENFRANCHISE US. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, APPEAR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. I OPPOSE 24-69. IT IMPACTS CHANGING AN EXISTING PIECE OF THE LAND OR PROPERTY ARE NOT 234REU REALIZED UNTIL LONG AFTER MODIFICATIONS OF SAID LAND HAVE BEEN MADE. THAT IS WHY IN THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE WAS DRAFTED AND PUT INTO EFFECT WITH THE FOLLOWING WORDS AND I QUOTE. "TO PROVIDE ENOUGH TIME TO THOUGHTFULLY ASSESS THE EFFECTS OF AN ADJACENT OR NEARBY PROPERTY ON WHEN A PIECE OF PROPERTY IS MODIFIED FROM ITS CURRENT USE." THIS IS WHY THE CURRENT IDO REQUIRES ADVANCE NOTICE. I EMPHASIZE, ADVANCE, TO THOSE ENTITIES THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY PROPOSED LAND CHANGE MODIFICATIONS. COUNCIL IMIL O-24-69 IS AN ATTEMPT TO NEGATE ANY THOUGHTFUL IN-DEPTH AND LONG-TERM ASSESSMENT TO PROPERTY MODIFICATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, IT DISENFRANCHISES PEOPLE NEXT TO THAT PROPERTY AND THOSE BEYOND IT. COUNCIL BILL O-24-69 APPEARS TO PANDER TO THE DEVELOPERS AND NOT THE PEOPLE IN THE ADJACENT COMMUNITY OR COMMUNITIES AT LARGE. IF THIS BILL GOES THROUGH, THERE WILL BE OTHER PRIVATE ENTITIES AND DEVELOPERS THAT WILL FOLLOW SUIT AND SUES THIS BILL TO JUSTIFY CONSTRUCTION PROBABLIES THAT PURPORT TO FILL AN IMMEDIATE NEED WITHOUT GOING THROUGH ANY VETTING OR THOUGHTFUL ASSESSMENT. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS AMY. THIS IS MY FIRST I'M ATTENDING A CITY COUNCIL MEETING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE. AND THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT HOUSING. I'VE BEEN IS TO SEVERAL HE TOWN HALL MEETINGS LATELY AND WHAT I CAN TELL IS MANY NEWCOMERS TO ALBUQUERQUE ARE HOPING TO ESTABLISH HOMES HERE AND RAISE FAMILIES AND THE COST OF HOUSING THE NUMBER ONE BARRIER. FOR A LOT OF THOSE THINGS, DO I STAY HERE, DO I START A FAMILY. AND I'M HERE BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS, I WANT YOU TO THANK YOU FOR COMMISSIONING THIS REPORT, THE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AND FRIDAY SAWRKS THE POPE LAYINGS GROWTH IS OUT SPACING OUR HOUSING SUPPLY. SO I THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT FIRST STERNTION AND MANY COMPLEX PROCESSES AND AUTOPSY FORD ABILITY OF HOUSE OG, THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE, I WANT TO THANK THE CITY COUNCILORS WHO ARE TRYING TO ADVANCE THIS, IT IS CLEARLY A TRICKY ISSUE, BUT I'M I AM BELLED THAT THERE IS A BROAD COALITION HERE SUPPORTING T CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, COMMUNITY GROUPS, PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS SUPPORT THIS MEASURE. THANK YOU. S. >> GOOD EVENING. CONGRATULATIONS MADAM PRESIDENT. I'M BRENDA MARKS. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE HUNING CASTLE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. IF YOU HAVE OUR LETTER THAT WAS UP LOADED TO YOU ON SATURDAY. 24-69 IS STRANGE, SHALL TO ME. FIRST SECTION, YOU START OFF, AFTER HAVING SPENDING YEARS TAKING, APPEALING THE ZONING CODE, AND COMING ONE THIS 700 PAGE IDO, NOW YOU WANT THE CITY OUT OF IT. YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO ABIDE BY IT AT ALL. SO YOU CAN CREATE A USE, SAY, ON A VACANT LOT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT YOU PICK UP FOR TAX REASONS, OR WHATEVER, OF ALL NIGHT FUEL STATION, AND IT COULD BE TBRILT PROPERTY LINE TOP PROPERTY LINE TO PROPERTY LINE. IT COULD OPERATE 24/7. AND WE WITH HAVE NO ABILITY TO STOP YOU. AND I'M JUST AMAZED THAT THERE HAS BEEN INTO DISCUSSION ABOUT EXEMPTING THE CITY FROM ITS OWN RULES, OR REASONING. YOU'VE NOT TOLD US WHY YOU NEED. YOU'RE A SEPARATE JURISDICTION. APPEARS IS A SEPARATE JURISDICTION. THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO IS A SEPARATE JURISDICTION. YOU ALL HAVE SEPARATE RULES. ARIZONA WORKS THE SAME WAY. TEXAS WORKS THE SAME WAY. COLORADO WORKS THE SAME WAY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM HERE. I'M WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME I DON'T RECALL YOU WON'T ABIDE BY YOUR OWN ORDINANCES. >> GOOD EVENING, MADAM PRESIDENT. COUNCIL HORSE. MY NAME IS MICHAEL BEFN. I LIVE IN DISTRICT 8, ABLE I STAND IN SUPPORT OF O 69, PARTICULAR LIT APPEAL PROCESS REFORM. IT IS HARD TO FIND EXAMPLES AROUND THE MR. COUNTRY OF THE APPEAL PROCESS AS BEING A LEVER TO PULL TO OBSTRUCT NEW HOUSING. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, LAST OCTOBER, TWO INDIVIDUALS IN ALAMEDA CALIFORNIA APPEALED THE APPROVAL OF A FOOD BANK ON AFTER VACANT LOT COMPLAINING THE HENL VIER MENTAL REVIEW WAS INSUFFICIENT DUE TO THE LOT BEING A HISTORIC PARKING LOT. THEY QUICKLY MADE CLEAR THERE WAS NOTHING O HISTORIC BECOME THE LOT, AND THE PLAINTIFF A350E8 WAS FRIVOLOUS, BUT IT PUT THE PROJECT IN FINANCIAL JEOPARDY. THE APPEAL PROCESS IS IMPORTANT, AND WE SHOULDN'T DIMINISH THAT PROCESS WITH AKNEELS ARE UNREASONABLE OBSTRUCTIONIST AND DON'T REPRESENT THE VIEWS OF SO MANY IN THE COMMUNITY. I URGE YOU TO PASS O-69 SO WE CAN AVOID THE SORT OF BUREAUCRATIC KNOWLEDGE SENSE OF THAT A ALAMEDA SAW AND BET SOME HOUSE ANYTHING THIS CITY. THANK YOU L FOR YOUR TIME. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND HELLO CITY COUNCILORS. I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE ALBUQUERQUE AFFORDABLE HOUSE OG COALITION AND ALSO RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 2. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT OUR SUPPORT, WITH THE BRO VISION EXEMPTING THE CITY LAND SOMETHING EANLDED THIS. PROVISION PROVIDES AN EXEMPT HE ELSE ON CITY OPENED PROPERTY OR CITY LEASED PROPERTIES STRIPS OPPORTUNITY FOR TRUE COMMUNITY BENEFITS '09 SIDE IS SHORT-TERM JOB CREATION THAT ARE A PART OF THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. THE BILL SUPPORTS PUT YOU GO MULTI-FAMILY IN SUPREME HUM AND TRANSIT MAIN STREET AREAS OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING. THERE ARE VERY LIMITED AREAS OF THE HOUSING THAMPLE ALLOW AND REMOVE MULTI-FAMILY HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY MEET THE HOUSING NEED. THIS IS A VERY LIMITED AREA OF THE STHE. THE COALITION MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES LOCAL NONPROFIT RESIDENTS ACADEMIC FETSZ AND RESIDENTS OF OUR ALTHOUGH INITIAL. MAY I HAVE ONE MORE SECOND? >> Coun. Bassan: GO AHEAD AND FINISH YOUR THOUGHT. >> WE WORK TO AMPLIFY RESIDENT VOICES AND RIGHT NOW, THIS IS THE BALANCE WE ARE HAVING TO MEET. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THIS BILL, MANY AMENDMENTS OF POINT TOP ADDRESSING THE MEETING O OF HAD PEOPLE'S FOUNDATIONAL NEEDS TO THEIR LIVELIHOOD, AND WE CHOOSE PEOPLE'S LIVE WILL HOOD. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS. I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE COMMUNITY LAND. I URGE YOU TO L PRIORITIZE OUR CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT. PLEASE VOTE NO. THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILORS, I WANT TO OPPOSE THE ORDINANCE 24-69 IN ITS CURRENT FORM BECAUSE IN THE IDO, PART 14-616-6, IT SAYS, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SHALL PREPARE AMENDMENTS IN THE TEXT OF THIS IDO TO BE SUBMITTED FOR AN EPC HEARING IN OCTOBER. MANY THE MIDDLE SHALL OCCUR IN ODD NUMBER YEARS. THESE AMENDMENTS SHALL BE REVIEWED AND DECIDED PURSUANT TO THE CITY WIDE AND APPLICABLE. ADDITIONALLY, WITH ONLY TWO OF THESE NINE PROPOSED CHANGES ADDRESS ZONING PLANNING. THE REST OF THEM EXECUTIONER OF APPEALS OR SPONSOR SHIPS, ALL THAT SORT OF THING. SO I THINK IT COULD USE SOME WORK. BUT WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT HOUSING BECAUSE WE ARE LACKING MUCH SO IT IS A GOOD STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. MADAM PRESIDENT, CONGRATULATIONS. MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS COMMUNITY. I'VE BEEN DOING COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I'VE WORKED IN 50 MARKS ACROSS THE MANY COUNTRY. THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN THAN HAVING A STRONG COMMUNITY THAT HAS ADEQUATE HOUSING FOR ITS FL CITIZENS. NEW MEXICO AND ALBUQUERQUE CONTINUE TO LOSE TO OUR SURROUNDINGS COMMUNITIES. JUST LOOK AT THE LAST CENSUS. NEW MEXICO GREW LESS THAN 3 PERCENT. EVERY STATE AROUND US HAS GROWN 10 PERCENT PLUS. ALBUQUERQUE AS SOMEBODY MENTIONED EARLIER DON'T IS ONE OF, EXCUSE ME, NEW MEXICO IS ONE OF THREE STATES IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY THAT HAS NOT GROWN THEIR HOUSING SUPPLY IN THE LAST YEAR. THAT IS CRIMINAL. A BIG PART OF THAT IS THE OBSTACLES TO GROWTH WE HAVE HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. THIS ORDINANCE IS A BIG PART OF SOLVING THAT PROBLEM. I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO PASS THIS. >> OF. >> I HAVE SOME PREPARED COMMENTS, BUT AS I PRESENT MY SO AS JIM PRICE, AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT, I DID NOT PRESENT MYSELF AS A MEMBER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO CONSULT, AND I HAVE TO SAY, AS THE TREASURER OF W ISSCONA, VANESSA ALARID LIED WHEN THEY. >> : SAID SHE WAS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. WE DO NOT HAVE A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I'M ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. SHE COMPLAINS ABOUT AN ECHO CHAMBER MUCH PERHAPS IF SHE WOULD LISTEN MORE DURING THE THE MEETINGS INSTEAD OF BEING DISRUPTIVE, SHE WOULD KNOW MORE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. WE OPPOSE THIS BILL. WE HAVE SEPTEMBER LETTERS. I HAVE SEPTEMBER LETTERS ONLY MY OWN. I HAVE SENT LETTERS AS PART OF THE GROUPS BELONG TO. BUT TONIGHT; I WASN'T GOING TO REPRESENT MYSELF OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS BECAUSE OF THE SUDDENNESS OF THIS, I HAVE NOT HAD CHANCE TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS SO I ONLY REPRESENT MYSELF AS MYSELF. >> THIS BILL NEEDS MORE TIME WITH A PROCESS TO SOL SHOULD HAVE COMPLEXITIES. WE HAVEN'T HAD TIME TOP DISCUSS THIS AS A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WHICH IS LISTED IN THE NATIONAL -- BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. IN ADDITION TO ITS IRREPLACEABLE HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE, 40 PERCENT OF ITS DWELLINGS ARE ALREADY MULTI-FAMILY. THE UNDER LIMITED HIELGT ALLOWED BY THE BILL WOULD LEAD TO THE LITERALLY DESTRUCTION OF MOST OF THE HISTORIC HOMES WITNESS WHAT HAPPENED IN 1978 WHEN HIGH DENSITY ZONING ALLOWED 12 APARTMENTS TO REPLATES ONE HOME IN THE SOUTH UNM AREA. THE OVERALL PROBLEMS WERE SO EXTREME THAT MANY THE NEIGHBORHOOD DEMANDED AND GOT DOWN ZONING WITH SOLAR ACCESS PROTECTION, AND I SUBMITTED A LETTER THAT WAS WRITTEN IN 1978 BY MRS. TAFE VOLTON, WHO SAID PRIOR TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX AT OF HE 305 BRINS STOP WAS BUILT, MY HOME WAS A VERY BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE, DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, THE SUN IS CUT OFF FROM MY HOME, IT IS DARK, DISMAL AND VERY COLD MUCH SHE WAS A SENIOR CITIZEN WHO BRIEFLY ENJOYED THE HOME FOR 30 YEARS. SO I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE WITHDRAW OR DELAY THIS ORDINANCE TO ALLOW MORE TIME TO SOLVE THE OBVIOUS PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY APPARENT, UNLESS YOU LIVE IN THE AREA. >> GOOD EVENING MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I HAVE A FEW OTHER COMMENTS. SAL HERE. NEW MEXICO AND SPEAKING AS A RESIDENT OF COUNCILLOR GROUT'S DISTRICT, AS WELL, WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF O 69. I'M ALSO EXTREMELY END DO YOU REMEMBERED BY THE AMOUNT OF YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. A LOT OF NEW FACES. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE THE FUTURE OF ALBUQUERQUE. IT IS OF GREAT TO SEE SO MANY FACES SUPPORTIVE OF IT THIS. BY EVIDENCE OF THEIR COMMENTS, PEOPLE WANT BETTER PLACES TO SHOP AND EAT, BET PLACERS TO EAT, MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. JUST AS AN IMPORTANT NOTE; THE PROPOSED IDO CHANGES RELATED TO MULTI-FAMILIAR FULLY THIS BILL THEY DON'T OVERRIDE THE CPO PROTECTIONS. THESE ITEMS STILL OFF OF PROTECTIONS FOR NEIGHBORHOODS ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE. THESE, WE SHOULD NOT AND CANNOT DELAY THIS. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, APPEAR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MELISSA SANCHEZ, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE ALBUQUERQUE WEST SIDE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION, AND WE DO STAND IN SUPPORT OF IN LEGISLATION. O 69 IS THE GOAL TO UNLOCKING OUR CITY'S ECONOMIC POTENTIAL. BY TOO LONG, THE WEST SIDE IS BURDENED BY A GROWTH THAT IS SLOW. THIS WILL STREAMLINE THE PROCESS, ENSURING THAT BUSINESSES CAN EXPAND AND INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY ENOUGH A TIMELY MANNER. MANY THIS BILL RECOGNIZES THE URGENT NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS AND EXPANDING HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES WE CAN RETRACT AND RETAIN A SKILLED WORK FORCE. O 69 IS NOT JUST ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IT IS ABOUT CREATING A MORE EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE ALBUQUERQUE AND I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. >> IF I MAY, MADAM PRESIDENT, THOSE ON ZOOM, OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOUR FELLOW SPEAKERS, DO NOT TURN YOUR DESCRID YES ON UNTIL IT IS YOUR TURN TO SPEAK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE WILL GO WITH EVELYN RIVERA. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCIL HORSE, MY NAME IS EVELYN RIVERA I AM ASKING THAT YOU VOTE AGAINST O 69. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS AMENDMENT, I WILL FOCUS ON THE FALSE NARRATIVES THAT THERE IS A HOUSING CRISIS REGARDING HAD THE SUPPLY OF HOUSING UNITS AND THAT THIS AMENDMENT WILL HELP OUR HOMELESS POPULATION. THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU 2023 HOUSING DATA SHOWS THAT THERE ARE 405,000 HOUSING UNITS IN ALBUQUERQUE. THAT'S A SLAY CAN IS HE RATE OF 5.7 PERCENT FOR A TOTAL OF 24,000 VACANT UNITS. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED TO HOUSING VOUCHERS WHICH COULD BE USED TO OCCUPY THOSE UNITS. ROOT CAUSES OF HOMELESS ARE DRUG ADDICTION AND MENTAL ILLNESS. WILLING HIGH-RISE COMPLEXES ALONG THE CORE DEAR WILL NOT HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT. PANELS OF O 69 WILL UNFAIRLY TARGET MULTI-CULTURE, DIVERSE AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS LOCATED IN HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ALLOCATED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. THIS 340E7B SHOULD BE USED TO BUILD AFFORD PANEL HOUSING THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THANK YOU S. >> MACH, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I'M A VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, AND A COMMISSIONER FOR THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE HOUSING COLLABORATIVE. AND I AM HERE IN SUPPORT OF O 69. THIS LEGISLATION NOT ONLY PLOATS MUCH. NEEDED DENSITY, BUT ALSO BE ENABLE ITS HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ON MORE SITES AND IN THE RIGHT PLACES ALONG KEY TRANSIT CORE DONEES. WE NEED BOLD ACTION AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. REGARDING CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED APPEAL PROCESS, HAD NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS PLAY A VALUABLE ROLE IN SHAPING OUR COMMUNITY. BUT ACCOUNTABILITY MATTERS. THERE ARE FORMS IN TBROBT OF THE COUNCIL SIMPLY ENSURES THEIR DECISIONS REFLECT THE VOICES OF AN ENTIRE NEIGHBOR 450D, NOT JUST A FEW BOARD MEMBERS ACT ON THEIR OWN. FURTHER THAT, 245EUR APPEALS MUST BE MADE IN GOOD FAITH AND NOT AN EASY WAY TO STOOP PROJECTS THEY DO NOT LIKE. I URGE YOU TO VOTE IN FAVOR. THANK YOU THE COUNCIL FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP AND APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU AN? >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS DEAN. AND I REPRESENT MYSELF. IN 70 DAYS, WILL BE ST. PATRICK'S DAYS. I THINK THAT THE O 69 IS A GOOD BILL AND I URGE THE COUNSELORS TO PASS IT, IN THE WAY I. SAME WAY ST. PATRICK DROVE THE SNAKES OUT OF IRELAND, I BELIEVE THIS BILL WILL DRIVE THE STAKES OUT OF ALBUQUERQUE, THE SNAKES BEFORE DO NOTHING AND REGULATION. S IS SILTLY THAT PEOPLE WHO WISH TO BUILD HOUSING BE FORCED WITH APPEALS WHEN IT CLEARLY DOES MEET THE LOCAL ZONING CODE. IN ADDITION, I BELIEVE THE RELAXING OF ONEROUS BUILDING REGULATIONINGS IN THE ALBUQUERQUE URBAN CORRIDOR WILL HELP BUILDING MORE HOMES FOR PEOPLE. AND THE SAME WAY TO MAKES NO SENSE TO BURN CRONS, TO MAKES NO SENSE TO SMOTHER HOUSING SHORTAGE. THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCIL, I'M FRANK, PRESIDENT OF THE LAUREL WOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IN DISTRICT 1. WE OPPOSE 24-69 AND SUPPORT THE WREST SIDE COALITION AND INTER COALITION LETTERS THAT WERE SENT TO YOU, AND ALL THE RESEARCH AND WORK THEY DO TO ARE THEIR COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT. WE 100 PERCENT AGREE WE NEED AFORWARD ABLE HOUSING. MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING AND SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, BUT NOT AT THE RISK OF SILENCING NEIGHBOR 450DZ. ATTORNEY FEES REQUIRING PETITIONS, AND NOTIFICATION, ON AND ON. WE ARE VOLUNTEERS. WE CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY. OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. AND WE TRY TO DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH WHAT LITTLE RESOURCES WE HAVE. AND WE SEE THAT GOING AWAY. TRULY, YOU CAN COME UP WITH A BETTER BILL WITHOUT TRYING TO SILENCE OUR COMMUNITY. I SUGGEST HAD PLEASE VOTE NO ON O 124-69, THIS IS A BAD BILL. THANK YOU. >> AM I ON NOW? OKAY, THANK YOU. ONCE AGAIN, I'M ROSEMARY, A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 2, AND THANK UP VERY MUCH FOR LETTING ME SPEAK, MADAM PRESIDENT. DISTRICT 2 IS A DISTRICT MOST AFFECTED BY THE PLEASED 69. NEVER MIND THE KAT, SHE LIKES PUBLICITY. I'VE ALSO A STRONG SUPPORTER OF AFFORDABLE HOUSE YOU GO, SUSTAINABLE HOUSING. I WISH ORDINANCE 69 GENERALLY ADDRESSED THESE ISSUES, BUT IT DOESN'T. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING YOU TO DELAY CONSIDERATION OF THE ORDINANCE AND ENGAGE IN JIEN PLANNING AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT TO DEVELOP A ORDINANCE THAT ACTUALLY ADDRESSES OUR LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE WHEREAS CLAUSE OF 69 CLAIMS TO BE DEALING WITH THE HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS, BUT IT DOES NOT I COULDN'T ANYTHING ANY PROVISIONS EITHER FOR PUBLIC HOUSING OR ANYTHING REQUIRING DEVELOPERS TO INCLUDE AFFORDABLE HOUSE ANYTHING THEIR PLANNING TESTIMONY FOCUSES ONLY ON EXISTING A.R.T. ROUTES, RATHER THAN THE WHOLE FABRIC OF PUBLIC HOUSE ANYTHING THE COMMUNITY. I DID SHARE A LETTER WITH ALL OF YOU AND I REFERENCED AN ARTICLE FROM THE HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW TITLED, WHY INCREASING THE MARKET ALONE CAN'T FIX THE U.S. HOUSING CRISIS. IT CONCLUDED THAT ZONING REFORM WAS NOT ENOUGH, BECAUSE DEVELOPERS INCENTIVE IS TO MAKE ABOVE IT'S, AND UNLESS THE HOUSING CODES INCLUDE SOME KIND OF PUBLIC ACTION TO ACTUALLY ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THOSE LEAST ABLE TO AFFORD HOUSING, THEN MAKING IT EASIER FOR DEVELOPERS TO DEVELOP PROFITABLE SET UP ITS FOR THEMSELVES IS NOT GPS TO EFFECT THE HOUSING MANY. SO I'M ASKING YOU, PLEASE, TO TAKE TIME AGENT EVERY RIGHT NOW, TO INCORPORATE A YOU ADDITIONAL PROVISIONSES THAT ADDRESS THESE ISSUES OF ACTUALLY WORKING TOWARD PUBLIC HOUSING -- >> AARON IS NEXT. AARON THORNTON. >> THANK YOU. SORRY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TOP SPEAK TOBILITY. MY NAME IS ERIN THORNTON. AND I AM A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 6. AND I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK YOU TO SUPPORT THE BILL 69, WHICH ALLOWS THE CITY TO RESPOND TO THE OVERWHELMING NEED FOR MORE HOUSING AND STREAMLINES THE PROCESS INVOLVED. CURRENTLY THE HOUSING CRISIS, MANY PEOPLE IN ALBUQUERQUE HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT AND LEFT BEHIND. IT IS PARTIALLY THE RESULT OF CITY POLICIES THAT HAVE ARTIFICIALLY LIMITED HOUSING SUPPLY. SUPPORTING IT BILL MAKES MORE HOUSING IN AREAS THAT NEED IT. TO MAKES IT AN CHEAPER AND MORE PLEA DAIBLGHT TO BUILD T REQUIRES NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO ACTUALLY REACH OUT BEFORE SPEAKING ON MY BEHALF. WHILE AN OVERNIGHT DMAING THE HOUSE WILLING MARKET IS NOT FEASIBLE, REDUCING EXISTING ROADBLOCKS, AND TO SPHON TO OUR SIGNIFICANT NEEDS AS A CITY. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING MADAM PRESIDENT AND QOIM HORSE, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. MY NAME IS HONG AND I FLF DISTRICT 8. I'M A LIFELONG RESIDENT IN ALBUQUERQUE, AND A ARCHITECT, WITH PASSION FOR HOW TO BUILD COMMUNITIES. ALTHOUGH I AM IN SUPPORT OF DENSITY AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING, I STAND IN OPPOSITION TO O 69 BECAUSE IT UNDER MINES THE CRITICAL BALANCE REQUIRED FOR THOUGHTFUL LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT. OUR INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE WAS CREATED TO ENSURE PLANNING TRANSPARENCY AND THE ACCOUNTABILITY, PRINCIPLES VIET TOOL THE 1RE8 BEING OF ALBUQUERQUE NEIGHBORHOODS. WHILE L ADDRESSING HOUSING SHORT AM IS IMPORTANT, THERE ARE BYPASSES YOU PUT INPUT. IF WE LIMIT COMMUNITY STANDING AND ALLOW UNCHECKED HEIGHT EXPANSIONS WITHOUTED ADEQUATE IMPACT STUDIES, NIECE CHANGES COULD LEAD TO I KNOW SCIEPT DEVELOPMENT, AND REDUCE QUALITY OF LIFE. ALBUQUERQUE DESERVES THE FUTURE OF DELIBERATE INCLUSIVE SUSTAINABLE AND MAINTAIN ABLE GROWTH. I URGE THE COUNCIL TO REJECT O 69 AND EXPLORE SOLUTIONS THAT UPHOLD THE VALUES OF THESE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> HELLO, MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS COURTNEY BUCK AND I'M THE RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 2. I IMPLORE THE COUNCIL TO PASS O 69. ALBUQUERQUE NEEDS THE MORE US A AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SIMPLIFYING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND REQUIRING NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO POLL MORE VOICES ON DEVELOPMENT WILL BE A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM. PASSING O 69 MORE RESIDENCE LIKE MYSELF WILL BE PRESENTED WITH MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO, AND BE EDGE COURAGED TO VOICE HOW WE WANT OUR CITY TO DEVELOP. AND PROVIDING MORE HOUSE ANYTHING OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY, NOT ONLY WILL THEY ABLE TO PROVIDE AN ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD FOR THEIR FAMILY, IN WILL BOLSTER THE OVER HE WILL ALL HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY AND ECONOMY. PLEASE PASS O 69. THANK YOU. >> SORRY, CAMERA TROUBLE. GOOD EVENING. CAN YOU HEAR ME? GO AHEAD. >> GO LAW HEAD. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCILORS AND MADAM PRESIDENT. I'M NOT HERE TO SUPPORT ORO POSE THIS BECAME, BUT EYE LIGHT SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES FACED BY THOSE BUILDING HOUSES IN ALBUQUERQUE. IT IS A MISCONCEPTION THAT IS IT IS EASY AND HIGHLY PROFITABLE. ENVELOPE REAMOUNT, CONSTRUCTION COSTS MAKE PROJECTS FINANCIALLY UNREASONABLE ASP RENTS IN ALBUQUERQUE USUALLY DON'T JUSTIFY NEW CONSTRUCTION COWSES. A BIGGER I OBJECT YOU AN IS THE UNCERTAINTY OF NAVIGATING THE BUREAUCRACY. YOU WOULD ASSUME IF A PROPERTY IS ZONED OFFICIAL RECORD FOR HOUSING, THEN HOUSING SHOULD BE ALLOWED ON THAT SITE. THIS ISN'T ALWAYS THE CASE. EVEN WHEN PROJECTS COMPLY WITH ALL ZONING RULES, THEY FACE REPEATED APPEALS AND CHALLENGES DATING TESTIMONY LIST ITS. FOR INSTANCE, A PROJECT NEAR ALAMEDA HAS BEEN DELAYED FOR ALMOST 8 YEARS BY THIS IS BRUR RACK A IS HE. WHO WITH A WOULD WANT TO BUILD HERE IN SUBSIDIZED PROJECTS ARE HAPPENING, BUT IT IS UNTAPABLE TO RELY ON TAXPAYER DOLLARS. AM I URGE YOU TO MAKE THE APPEAL PROCESS FAIR AND REALISTICALLY ADDRESS OUR CITY'S HOUSING SHORTAGE. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING MADAM PRESIDENT AND ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. MY NAME IS CHRIS TEEN MALTRUDE. I LIVE IN THE NEAR NORTH DESCRALLY AND A MEMBER OF THE ALVARADO GARDENS NEXT. NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ORDINANCE. FROM EXTENSIVE READING, THERE IS NO LANGUAGE OR PROVISION AT ALL IN THIS ORDINANCE AS IT STANDS THAT WOULD CREATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. LET AWHROAN GIVE SUPPORT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE UNHOUSED. THIS ORDINANCE SUPPORTS REAL PERCENT AND SILENCES THE CONCERNED VOICE HE IS OF HELP RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. BY ALLOWING MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING ON ALL PROPERTIES WITHIN ONE QUARTER MILE OF MAIN STREET CORRIDORS THIS INCLUDES 4TH 12WR50E89 HERE IN THE NORTH VALLEY, CURRENTLY THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT ALLOWED YOU AN LONG 4TH STREET IS 55 FEET, IT OUTSIDE OF THAT ONE QUARTER MILE AREA THE HEIGHT ALLOWED IS UNLIMITED THIS. CREATES CONGESTION ALONG PLACES LIKE NORTH FOURTH STREET, AN AREA THAT'S ALREADY CONGESTED. IT CHANGES THE APPEAL PROCESS WHICH EFFECTIVELY L ELIMINATES A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS FROM APPEALING ANY APPROVED LAND USE FEE SIGNATURE BY REQUIRING ADDITIONAL SIGNATURES OF THE MAJORITY AND ALSO THE ASSOCIATION WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REASONABLE LEGAL COSTS, AT THE TIME. SO PLEASE, GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M NOT, YOU KNOW, HELPFUL WFL AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT WE NEED TO START OVER AGAIN AND INCLUDE COMMUNITIES IN THE PROCESS: THANK YOU. >> DEBBIE O'MALLEY. >> THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, FIRST I OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS. I WANT TO SPEAK QUICKLY ABOUT THIS. I DIDN'T GET IT UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO AND I JUST DECIDED TO JUMP IN AND LOOK AT THE AMENDMENTS. FIRST ONE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE IDO IS NOT APPLICABLE TO CITY ACTIVITIES OR DEVELOPMENT OR PROPERTIES OWNED OR LEASED BY THE CITY, THAT IS WIDE OPEN. IT DOESN'T MENTION AFFORDABILITY HOUSING, IT DOESN'T MENTION HOUSING AT ALL, IT HAS NO GUARDRAILS IT COULD BE ANYTHING. AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE WHEN I WAS A CITY COUNCILOR, IT WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, A BUSINESS COMMUNITY, THAT AS MEMBERS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, FOUGHT THE TRANSFER STATION ON EDITH. IT WAS AN I KNOW CONCEIVED PLAN, THEY DID END UP BUILDING IT, AND IT WAS RIGHT THAT THEY CHALLENGED THAT. THE OTHER THING IS, WE HAVE GOT THIS AMENDMENT OF THAT SAYS THAT PUBLIC LANDS, IS NOT UP TO STANDING. WE WANT TONE GAUGE PEOPLE IN WORKING TOGETHER MANAGE OUR PUBLIC LANDS, AND I THINK THAT'S IN THE PHRASE. THERE IS ALSO THIS ISSUE OF WHETHER A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, OR THE APPELLATE, HAS TO PAY IF THEY LOSE. THAT'S NOT FAIR. THE OTHER THING IS, YOU ARE THE LAND USE AUTHORITY. THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS YOU COULD JUST DO. FOR EXAMPLE, IT SAYS THAT YOU CAN GO AROUND THE EPC, YOU CAN DO THAT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU HAVE TO PUT THAT IN WRITING. AND FINALLY, I JUST WANT TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT HE -- >> THANK YOU. >> THE LAST ITEM, WHICH IS TO BASICALLY SAY,? A. ALONG COAR DIVORCE, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY, NORTH FOURTH CORRIDOR HAS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR DENSE HOUSING, YOU CAN GO DOWN THE FOURTH STREET AND SEE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING, AND THAT'S WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE NARCS KIND OF DENIES FIT AND HEIGHT IS APPROPRIATE. WHAT THIS IS SAYING, SECTION 46, BEYOND THE CORRIDOR, AND BEYOND THE CHARACTER PROTECTION SOAB, WE ARE GOING TO GO EVEN NEAR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING NEIGHBORHOODS, SO IT SIZE THAT WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW FOR DENSER HOUSING LIKE TALL HOMES AND DUPLEXES. I PERSONALLY HAVEN'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT, IT IS THE HEIGHT THING. IT IS UNDER LIMITED. RIGHT NOW, IT SAYS, THEY COULD BUILD AN APARTMENT COMPLEX BASICALLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME. AND I DO OWN PROPERTY AWRONG, IN THIS AREA. SO IT IS PERSONAL. BUT THERE WAS REPRESENT THIS AREA AS THE NEWLY ELECTED SENATOR AND I'M HEARING FROM A LOT OF FOLKS THAN THIS IS NOT WELL THOUGHT OUT, IT WAS JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN SORT OF APD, IT SEEMED. IA CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE EITHER DEFER THIS, AND GIVE PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY LOOK AT THIS. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE FIRST ONE, RIGHT, THAT JUST ALLOWS THE CITIES TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT ON PROPERTY THEY OWN. WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. IT DOESN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IF IT DID, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY GUARDRAILS. AND THEN I WANT TO MENTION THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS ALSO INCLUDE BITS OWNERS, AND IS THERE TWO PROPERTIES, TWO APPEALS WHERE THE BUSINESS OWNERS WERE THE ONES THAT WERE LEADING THAT EFFORT TO APPEAL. SO IT IS NOT JUST RESIDENTS. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT. AND I ASK FOR A DEFERRAL. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU. BEFORE YOU MOVE ON, MR. CORNELIUS, WHEN A COUNCILOR ASKS FOR SOMEONE TO CONTINUE SPEAKING, IT IS THE PRESIDENT TO ALLOW, AND IN THIS CASE, IT WAS REQUESTED AND THESE WHY WE ALLOWED COUNCILOR O'MALLEY TO FINISH HER COMMENTS. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, MADAM PRESIDENT. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I'M MARIAN HIX. I'M THE NONPROFIT REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE HE A L. AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE WHICH PROVIDES INPUT 209 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, HOUSING AND LON FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT O 69. BY AMEND, THE TEXT STFT IDO, THIS ORDINANCE TAKES THE NEXT STEPS THEY IMPLEMENTING THE VISION CONTAINED IN THE ALBUQUERQUE/BERNALILLO COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHICH WAS APPROVED BY CRUK JUST LAST MAY OF 2024. EXISTING POLICIES IN PLACE ALOIPPED WITH THE TEXT AMENDMENT FOR MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT ENVELOPE BREEM YOU TRANSIT AREAS, WHICH SERVES TO PARTIALLY IMPLEMENT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNED TO POLICIES, 9.3.1, AND 9.3.2, WHICH FURTHER THE HOUSING GOALS IN THE PLAN TO INCREASE FENCE IT'S ALONG MAJOR TRANSIT ROUTES WITH ADEQUATE SERVICES AND AMENITIES. THAT UPDATE WAS A RESULT OF SEVEN YEARS OFF DILIGENT WORK BY THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE AND BERNALILLO COUNTY'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AND WAS FORMED BY YEARS OF COMMUNITY INPUT AND PUBLIC WORK SHOPS TO DETERMINE BEST PRACTICES HADS. FOR OUR DESIRED POPULATION AND JOB GROWTH, AS WELL AS TO ADDRESS OUR CURRENT HOUSING SHORTAGE. >> THANK YOU, MIRIAM. JACQUELINE OLSON. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. MADAM PRESIDENT, CONGRATULATIONS. HE IS SEEM COUNCIL MEMBERS OF, AND SENATOR O'MALLEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. I AM JACQUELINE OLSON AND I AM THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE SIESTA HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, AND CITIZEN AT LARGE. I COME BEFORE YOU TODAY TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION IN THIS BILL. THE PROPOSE THE AMEND TO THE IDO ORDINANCE IS POORLY WRITTEN, IT IS UNNECESSARY, IT IS POTENTIALLY HARMFUL TO OUR COMMUNITY. AND IT DOES VIOLATE HAZARD PAY PROCEDURESFOR IDO AMENDMENTS. WE SHOULD JUST CANCEL IT ALL OUT BY THAT FACT ALONE. IT ALSO BYPASSES CRUCIAL RECREW BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE LAND USE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE. MORE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THIS AMENDMENT'S POTENTIAL VIOLATION OF THE NEW MEXICO CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. THIS ACT WAS DESIGNED TO PROTECT CITIZENS RIGHTS AND TO ENSURE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY. THIS AMENDMENT THINKS TO UNDERMINE THESE VERY PRINCIPLES. THE RUSHED NATURE OF THIS L AMENDMENT INTRODUCED JUST BEFORE THE HOLLY DAYS WITH MINIMAL TIME FOR PUBLIC REVIEW PEE TENSIONALLY INFRINGES ON OUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. I DON'T WANT MAY TAX DOLLARS TO PAY FOR. THIS GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF THE TIMING OF THE BILL AS NOT ASKING FOR INPUT. PUBLIC REQUESTS MORE TIME. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME? IS THANK YOU. I'M JAMES HOFFMAN. I OWN A MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTY IN ALBUQUERQUE IN COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN'S DISTRICT AS WELL AS SWELLS VACANT LAND IN COUNCILOR LEWIS'S DISTRICT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP AS MULTI-FAMILY. IN GENERAL, I'M AGREEING WITH THIS, BUT I DO AGREE THAT SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT THE LIMITATION ITS, THE EXEMPTING THE CITY FROM ALL ACTIVITY SHOULD BE RESTRICTED ONLY TO HOUSING. I WOULD ALSO LIKE COUNCILOR LEWIS TO CONSIDER THAT THE AREAS FOR, IN SECTION 5, FOR THE MULTI-FAMILY BE EXPENDED TO NRBP AT LEAST ENVELOPE THE HEIGHTS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WAS ALLOWED, AND THAT WOULD BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH HOW WE TRANSITION FROM THE VOLCANO HEIGHTS SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO NRVP, AND WE NEED TOP IN GENERAL REDUCE REGULATION TO ALLOWS HOUSING TO BECOME DEVELOPABLE AND AFFORDABLE IN ALBUQUERQUE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M JOE SABATINA, AND I WAS GOING TO REPRESENT THE NEAR NORTH VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, BUT OUR MAYOR IS PRESIDENTIS GOING TO DO THAT. I LIVE WITHIN 250 FEET OF FOURTH STREET ARE FOR 50 YEARS, NOW, WATCHED IT DEVELOP AND DECLINE, AND WE AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS HAVE BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT A ALONG 4TH STLEEMENT. STREET.AS SENATOR O'MALLEY HAS REFERENCED. THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THE ORDINANCE IS THE QUARTER MILE BEYOND THE ACTUAL 4TH STREET CORRIDOR. SO WE AS RESIDENTS OVER BY 6th STREET CAN HAVE AN UNLIMITED HEIGHT MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING. IT WORKS ON 4TH STREELT, AND WE HAVE CHARACTER PROTECTION THAT MANY LIMITS THAT TO 55 FEET, AND YOU'RE GETTING THOSE DEVELOPMENTS. BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS WITHIN AN 8th OF A MILE ON EITHER SIDE, THAT'S BAD POLICY. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU, SIR. >> HE THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT, AND HE IS SEEMED MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST. >> THROW MY SUPPORT BEHIND. AND ALSO JUST TO ADD, I'M A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 9. AND SO MANY RESIDENTS LIKE MYSELF WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS IN THE DISTRICT. SOME OF US LOVE THE DISTRICT AND WOULD LOVE TO STAY HERE. AND THIS WOULD ALSO ADD THE VITAL IMPORTANT FIX, MIDDLE FIXED HOUSING, DUPLEXES, ETC. I WOULD LIVE TO SEE THOARKTS AND LOVE TO SEE A BILL SIMILAR TO THIS IMPLEMENTED CITY WIDE, AS WELL. JUST LIKE TO THANK YOU AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MCKAY LA. I AM HERE TO STRONGLY OPPOSE 69. THIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE IS NOT ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR HOMELESSNESS. INSTEAD, TO MAKES THE IDO INAPPLICABLE TO PROPERTY OPENED OR LEASED BY THE CITY. CONTINUED BLIND THE VERY PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY AND FAIRNESS THAT THIS COUNCIL CLAIMS TO UPHOLD TESTIMONY I AM MILES THE CITY ITSELF IS ABOVE THE LAW. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROPOSAL TO DECLARE THE PERSON'S USE OF PUBLIC LAND IS NOT HE HAVE GRANT STANDING TO APPEAL IS DEEPLY TROUBLING. PUBLIC LAND BELONGS TO TUESDAY ALL. SPACES FOR THE COMMUNITY TO USE, DENY INDIVIDUALS THE RIGHT TO CHALLENGE DECISIONS EFFECTIVELY SIRENS COMMUNITY VOICINGS AWND MINE PUBLIC TRUST. THESE APPEAR TO BE A DIRECT RESPONSE TO OUT CERNLS. RATHER THAN ADDRESSING THOSE CONCERNS THROUGH COLLABORATION AND REFORM, THIS DIMINISHES COMMUNITY INPUT. I HAVE GOT THE MESSAGE THAT COUNCIL WANTS TO SEND. OUR PUBLIC CONCERNED ARE I KNOW CONVENIENT TESTIFY, RATHER THAN CONSTRUCTIVE. I URGE YOU TO RESTRICT THIS BILL A. THANK YOU. >> HELLO? >> PLEASE PROCEEDS, MS. T ULLY. >> MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILORS, GOOD EVENING. I'M MERIT TULLY, I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE NEAR NORTH VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, I'M THE CURRENT PRESIDENT. MANY OUR ASSOCIATION HAS A HISTORY OF SUPPORTING DENIES AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND BUILDING UNTIL OUR AREA FOR YEARS AND DECADES. OUR BOARD, HOWEVER, HAS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO OPPOSE THIS ORDINANCE. WE HAVE SUBMIT 5D LETTER EXPLAINING OUR CONCERNS IN DETAIL. BUT IN SHORT, WITH RESPECT TO THE DENSITY AND HEIGHT INCREASES OUR PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE UNLIMITED HEIGHT AND THE FACT THAT IT IS GOING TO OCCUR BLOCK US A TBRAI 4TH STREET, WHICH IS NOT GOOD PLAFNLGT WITH RESPECT TO THE PROCEDURAL CHANGES, THESE ARE JUST PANT EPTLY UNTHEIR AND YOU UNREASONABLE AND DEEPLY DISTURBING. UNFORTUNATELY, NOTHING IN THIS ORDINANCE SPEAKS TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT WE DESPERATELY NEED P AS A PROVIDER SPEAKER SAID TONIGHT, HOUSING A HUMAN RIGHT, BUT THIS BILL ISN'T GOING TO HELP. MOST IMPORTANT, THE COMPLETE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AROUND THIS BILL MAKES IT AND ALL OF THE AMOUNTS UNSUPPORTABLE. WE IS ASK YOU TO VOTE THIS BILL DOWRNTION DEFER IT, OR WHAT WOULD BE BEST, REFER IT TO THE EPC FOR FULL-FLEDGED PUBLIC HEARINGS SO WE CAN GET A BILL THAT MAY ACTUALLY SUPPORT AND RESULT IN WHO AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCLUDING MULTI-FAMILY THROUGHOUT ALL OF ALBUQUERQUE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCIL. MY NAME AS MANY GARRETT. I'M 32 YEAR OLD. AND I DON'T BELONG TO AN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. I RENT AN APARTMENT IN A MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING SIX BLOCKS AWAY FROM SAN MATEO AND CENTRAL. I ALSO OWN A SMALL BAKERY AT CENTRAL AND MORNING SIDE, A ZONING AREA THAT STANDS DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS ORDINANCE. AS INTIN WHO LIVES AND HAS A BUSINESS ON CENTRAL, I SEE EVERY DAY THE HOUSING OR LACK THEREOF EFFECT THE HEALTH OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE DENSITY MANY CHANGES PROPOSED IN THIS ORDINANCE WILL MAKE EASIER TO BUILD THE HOUSING WE NEED. PLEASE, CHOOSE TODAY TO ENCOURAGE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING AND DENSITY IN TRANSPORTATION AREAS. PLEASE SUPPORT O 69. SURELY WE CAN FIND A COMMON SENSE AMENDMENT ON HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS FOR BUILDINGS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> GOOD EVENING, AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL. MADAM PRESIDENT, APPEAR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO LEAD OFF WITH TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN TALKED ABOUT. I WAS IN A TUTOR IN ALBUQUERQUE READS FOR FIVE YEARS. THESE ARE CHILDREN WHO COME FROM DIFFICULT PARTS OF TOWN AND THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH OF A CHANCE. BUT THE ONES THAT HAD THE BUSIEST CHANCE WERE THOSE KIDS THAT HAD A RELIABLE STABLE PLACE TO LIVE. AND THAT'S WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT. WHAT ARE WE PROVIDING TO OUR FUTURE. SOMETHING THAT'S STABLE AND RELIABLE. A PLACE THAT'S MEANINGFUL, MANY REALLIES PARTICULAR, A PLACE TO GROW AND PROS 3ER FOR THE THINGS WE CAN DO. PUT FORTH OUR TALENT IN A PLACE TO WORK, AND THEN GO HOME TO A RECEIVE PLACE TO LIVE. AND WHEN PROBABLIES GET STRUNG OUT FOR ONE TWO, OR THREE YEARS DUE TO FRIVOLOUS LITIGATION IT EATS AWAY AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT TO BE A MEANINGFUL BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE ADDED TO OUR COMMUNITY TESTIFY SUPPORT A KID LIKE THAT WHO IS TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO READ. I WILL SAY THAT IF THERE WAS ANY PART OF THIS LEGISLATION THAT CONCERNS ME, IT IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS PLACING THEMSELVES ABOVE THAT OF THEIR CITIZENS AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO A HAVE THE SAME REVIEW. IT IS A LITTLE CONCERNING. BUT OTHERWISE, WE TAKES TOO MUCH TIME ALLOWING PEOPLE TOP INTERRUPT THE APARTMENT FOR PEOPLE TO DEVELOP AND GROW. BECAUSE AFTER ALL, A FAMILY GROWING IS REALLY OUR DEVELOPMENT AS A COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND SUPPORTING THIS LEGISLATION. >> HE GL GOOD EVENING MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU SENATOR OWE MALL LITTLE FOR HER CONSIDERED COMMENTS. MY NAME IS PEGGY KNAPP. I'M A MEMBER OF THE UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD AND SERVE AS THE TREASURER OF DISTRICT 7. NOT ONE OF THESE COMMUNITIES WANTS OR HAS THE TIME TO DISCUSS THIS ORDINANCE. I OPPOSE IT. IT IS NOT ABOUT HOUSING. TAN IT SETS A TERRIBLE PRECEDENCE AND WEAKENS OUR DEMOCRACY, AS DEVELOPER FIGHT FOR MORE AGREE COMES AND CONTROL TRIENTS, AND ACCESS TO LAND, OUR COMMUNITIES FIGHT FOR OPEN SPACE ITS, PARKS, WE FIGHT TO 34R0E EFFECT OUR REGION SOUTHWEST CHARACTER, WE IN SUPPORT BUSINESS THAT IMPROVE AIR QUALITY, WE INSIST ON THE INCLUSION OF ALL VOICES AND RELY ON DUE PROCESS RIGHTS. THIS ORDINANCE AND THE WAY IN CAME BEFORE THE CHAMBER IS DEPLORABLE AND BLATANTLY PROFIT ORIENTED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS ORDINANCE ASSURES NOR HAD SUPPORT OUR IRNLGT NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOR DOES IT IN ANY WAY PROVIDE FOR SUBSIDIZED OR SERVICE BASED HOUSING AS AFFORDABLE HOUSE OG AND SERVICE BASED HOUSING MUST BE THE PRIORITY. PUBLIC DISCUSSION MUST ENSURE AND MUST ENDURE AS THE CORNER STONE OUR ORDINANCES, IT VALIDATES OUR DEMOCRACY. HOUSING HE YES, BUT HOUSING WITHOUT DEMOCRACY, NO. FL CHOPPING AND EAT SOMETHING, YES, BUT SHOWING AND EATING WITHOUT DEPLOOK IS HE, NO. FIX THIS ORDER HANS AND FIX THE LOOPHOLE THAT BROUGHT IT TO THIS CHAMBER. >> GOOD EVENING. CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU. >> GREAT, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING MADAM PRESIDENT AND QOIM HORSE. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE. MY NAME IS JOSHUA MARTINEZ. I'M A RESIDENT OF THE WEST SIDE. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE PETROGLYPHS HOME OWN CERTIFICATES ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS THE TREES VOLCANES NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND I'M IN FULL SUPPORT 69 T I'M A MILLENNIAL AND HUSBAND AND FATHER OF A YOUNG FAMILY, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT ALBUQUERQUE SUPPORTS AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IF WE WANT TO KEEP YOUNG PEOPLE HERE AND GLOW OUR CITY, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE NOT ONLY TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT HANDFUL OF PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO STALL OR EVEN HALT PROJECT OS THAT GO ANSWER THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY -- THAT GO AGAINST THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY. I HEARD FROM THE OPPOSITION WILL THE BACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC COLLISIONS AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DO EXACTLY THAT WITH THEIR MEMBERS. I COMPLETELY URGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> ROCHAN, I GIVE YOU ONE MORE CHANCE TO ACCEPT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. ROCHAN CHAVEZ. ONE MORE TIME. MADAM CHAIR, SHE IS DECLINING TO SPEAK TONIGHT. THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU EVERYONE. WE ARE MOVING ON TO DISCUSSION OF THE BECAME. MANY OF THE BILL. WE HAVE SEVERAL AMENDMENTS. FIRST, IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING BEFORE WE DO AMENDMENTS,. >> Pres. Lewis: MADAM PRESIDENT, I THINK WE CAN GO AHEAD AND START WITH THE AMENDMENTS. I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE SOME DISCUSSION AND DEAL WITH SOME OF THE MATTERS THAT CAME UP. THE AMENDMENTS MAY ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES RE.ED TO IT. I WOULD MAKE SOME COMMENTS. I THINK, AGAIN, OVERALL, THE BILL INCREASES I BELIEVE SOAR IT INCREASES THE INFLUENCE OF NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. IT GOES NOT SUPPRESS ANY VOICES. IT IN FACT GIVES A REAL PROCESS THAT LEGITIMIZE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IN THOSE PROCESSES. YOU LOOK AT OTHER, AS FAR AS AREAS LIKE OUR OWN IDO, AND I THINK WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO DEAL WITH THAT, AS FAR AS OUR COMPLIANCE WITH OUR OWN IDO, BUS HAS PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, AND YOU CAN'T APPEAL THOSE. WE HAVE OTHER JURISDICTIONS WITHIN OUR BOUNDARIES THAT GO BY DIFFERENT RULES THAN WE LAW HOW. SO THIS MAKES IT CONSISTENT WITH THAT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH OR LIMIT THE PUBLIC PROCESS IN ANY WAY, BUT IN FACT, I THINK IT AGAIN LEGITIMIZES AND I THINK IT GIVES NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS A MORE LEGITIMATE VOICE WHEN IT COMES TO AFTER PROJECTS GO THROUGH SUCH A STRENUOUS PROCESS WHERE THEY COULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL. AND ALSO, IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE HAVE STANDING, AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE STANDING TO APPEAL. THOSE THINGS REMAIN THE SAME AS THEY ARE RIGHT NOW. PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD CHANGES. CLEARLY REALLY THE ZONING LAW BODY HAS THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO ADOPT CHANGES TO THE IDO. AND CERTAINLY I'M JUST MAKING A POINT THAT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO CONSTRICT, I THINK IT WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW TO CONSTRICT FURTHER COUNCILS DOWN THE ROAD TO ONLY DEAL WITH IMPORTANT ZONING CODES AT CERTAIN TIMES, AND NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES IN THAT REGARD. BUT MADAM PRESIDENT, I'LL SAVE MY COMMENTS UNTIL AFTER THE AMENDMENTS. >> Coun. Bassan: WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE PACKET OF AMENDMENTS. I DON'T KNOW, MADAM CLERK, HOW IT WILL BE EFFECT IF WE MOVE OUT OF ORDER OF THIS PACKET. IT IS FINE TO GO A DIFFERENT ORDER? THERE IS A REQUEST TO GO A DIFFERENT ORDER, WHICH WOULD FOLLOW CHRONOLOGICALLY THAT FOLLOWS THE LINE ITEM IN THE BILL VERSE ITS HOW THE AMENDMENTS ARE PUT IN THE PACKET. WE WILL TRY THAT ONE, AND I WILL MOVE AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SPEED SO WE ARE NOT HERE FOR TOO LONG. BUT COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, WE ARE GOING TO START WITH LETTER A IN THE PACKET, AMENDMENT NUMBER 1. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I PROVIDED THAT LIST TO STAFF AS WELL. I WILL MOVE FLOOR AMENDMENT 1, WHICH IS IN THE PACKAGE AS A, AND IT IS 9 THROUGH 11 ON PAGE 1. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR A DO PASS OF AMENDMENT NUMBER 1. SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR ROGERS. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU. I DON'T JINL WHETHER I AMEND CLAUSE, THEY DON'T REALLY MATTER, BUT I FIND THIS ONE PARTICULARLY EGREGIOUS AND I WANTED TO SAY, I DON'T THINK HAVING TALKED TO THE STAFF AT THE CITY MANY, MANY, MANY TIMES ABOUT THE IDO, I DO NOT THINK THAT THE STAFF HAS HAD THE SAME BURDENS PLACED ON IT BY THE IDO. IN FACT, THEY HAVE INDICATED TO ME THAT THEY HAVE FOUND THE IDO TO BE HELPFUL FOR THEIR JOBS, SO I WOULD LIKE TO STRIKE THAT SECTION FROM THAT ONE SENTENCE. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES OF AMENDMENT 1, THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE AMENDMENT LABELED C IN YOUR PACKET, COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, THIS IS AMENDMENT NUMBER 2. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WILL MOVE FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 2, WHICH IS ON PAGE 1, LINES 12 AND 13. THESE STATE THE WHEREAS CLAUSE, WHERE THE CITY HAS A HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS. AND THE STATIC POLICY MAKING THAT OCCURS THAT PRACTICE. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? THERE IS A SECOND BY COUNCILLOR BACA. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I JUST WANTED TO REPHRASE THIS. THE PROVISIONS OF THE IDO IN MY OPINION, ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. I THINK THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN WE HAVE NOT UPDATED THE IDO AND DONE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF THOSE TONIGHT. WHICH IS VERY EXCITING. BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE SAYING IT IS THE IDO THAT'S THE PROBLEM, I THINK IT IS THAT WE HAVE BEEN VERY STATIC WITH OUR UPDATES. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN. TO BE CLEAR, IT WAS HEARD BY SOME IT WAS A DIFFERENT LINE ITEM THAT WAS BEING AMENDED BUT THIS IS ON PAGE 1, LINES 16 AND 17. THE LANGUAGE IS GOING TO BE AMENDED CORRECT? >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: MADAM PRESIDENT, I'M SORRY I IF I SPOKE ONE, IT IS PAGE 1 HAD LINES 12 AND 13. >> Coun. Bassan: IS THIS AMENDMENT C IN THE PACK ?ET SHOWING ON PAGE 1, LINES 16 AND 17 HAD AMEND THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SAME AS WHAT YOU ARE DISCUSSING. IT SAYS, THE CITY HAS A HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS THAT IS EXACERBATED BY THE IDO AND ANDYOU'LL UPDATE. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: YES THAT, THE ONE. I APOLOGIZE. IT IS IN YOUR iPAD AND IT IS CORRECT, LINES 12 AND 13. >> Coun. Bassan: SO WE ARE GOOD TO GO, STAFF, CORRECT? I'M MAKING SURE. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOUR ATTENTION COUNCILORS? I'M GOING TO SAY, I HAVE NEVER BEEN A FAN OF THE IDO. I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE. SO THEREFORE, I'M KIND OF WILLING FOR THE IDO TO DION THIS BOARD. DIE, SO I WILL NOT BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS AMENDMENT. BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY AGAINST YOUR REASONING. IS THIS IS THERE A SECOND? A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR ROGERS. COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: KNOWS FAVOR OF AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 TO O 69, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. OPPOSED. THAT PASSES ON A 5-4. NEXT AMENDMENT IS AMENDMENT 3, WHICH WILL BE MARKED B IN YOUR PACKET, B AS IN BASSAN. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS IS AMENDMENT NUMBER 3. ACTIVITIES ON PAGE 1, LINE 16, DELETE THE WHEREAS CLAUSE, AND THEN ON SECTION 1, WHERE IT USED TO SAY THE THE IDO IS NOT APPLICABLE TO CITY ACTIVITIES, REWORDING THAT TO SAY THE IDO IS PLIBLG OF APPLICABLE TO CITY ACTIVITIES IF OWNED OR LEASED BY THE PROPERTY, EXCEPT FOR FOR APPEAL PURPOSES. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 3. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR ROGERS. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: SO MADAM PRESIDENT, THIS IS, I THINK WE HEARD FROM A LOT OF FOLKS TOORNGHTS I SHARED THE CONCERN, THAT THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN, WHETHER IT WAS INTENT OR NOT, WAS REALLY EXEMPTING ALL CITY ACTIVITY FROM THE IDO. ANDS OF I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE. WE HAVE A LOT OF REQUIREMENTS IN THE IDO, EVERYTHING FROM LANDSCAPING TO SET BACKS TO ALL OF THE PROCESSES THAT WE HAVE. SO THIS MAKES A CHANGE TO SAY, WE ARE STILL GOING TO FOLLOW OUR OWN RULES, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW. BUT IT DOES STOP THE APPEAL PROCESS FOR CITY PROJECTS AT A POINT WHERE IT IS APPROVED, THE PROJECT IS APPROVED. SO WE CAN MOVE THESE PROJECTS ALONG. IN. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 3? >> Pres. Lewis: MADAM PRESIDENT, I THINK ITS REASONABLE. EVER I THINK ITS STILL THE HEART OF THE ORDINANCE, AND THE CHANGES THAT WE ARE MAKING, AND AM I CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUE. SO AGAIN, THE CITY FOLLOWS THE NORMAL PROCESSES THROUGH THE IDO. COIX REAL QUICK, SO YOU KNOW, ADMINISTRATION, I WILL GET BETTER TO MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD. COUNCILLOR BACA RS DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? NO? COUNCILORS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ADMINISTRATION? COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: URGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE CITIZENS OF ALBUQUERQUE THAT WE ARE NOT IN FACT, ABOVE HAD THE LAW. >> Coun. Bassan: SO WITH THAT, WE WILL BE TAKING A VOTE ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 33 FOR O 69. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSES ON A 9-0 VOTE. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO LETTER M, AS IN MARY THIS. ONE IS I BELIEVE IN YOUR iPADS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS IN YOUR PACKET. COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN AND COUNCILLOR ROGERS. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. WE DO HAVE COPIES OF IT THAT COUNCILLOR ROGERS CONSIDER PASS OUT. THIS IS THE FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 4, AND THIS IS AMENDING ON PAGE 2, LINE 16, WE ARE ADDING THE FOOLG FOLLOWING FOLLO THE END OF THAT SECTION. NOTHING N SEX WILL BE CONSTRUED TO CHANGE ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS TO INDIAN RIGHTS, TRIBES OR PUEBLOS, THAT IS ESTABLISHED IN THE IDO OR OTHERWISE LIMIT OF TRIBAL STANDING. I'LL MOVE THE AMENDMENT. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS AN AMENDMENT AND A SECOND BY COUNCILLOR ROGERS. OF. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: MADAM PRESIDENT, THIS IS BECAUSE WE JUST PASSED OUR TRIBAL NOTIFICATIONS, THERE WAS CONCERN AROUND HOW IT WAS WORDED THAT IT COULD REMOVE STANDING FROM OUR TRIBAL A L LIES AND NEIGHBORS, AND I DON'T THINK THAT WAS ANYONE'S INTENT, AND SO WE ARE WEEMPLE CLARIFYING THAT HERE. WE ARE MAKING SURE WE FOOL HAD THE SPIRIT OF OUR TRIBAL NOTIFICATION AND. >> Coun. Bassan: MANY ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IN. >> Pres. Lewis: MADAM PRESIDENT, I'M FINE WITH THIS. I THINK IT WAS THE I KNOW TENSION, AND IT WAS ORIGINALLY NOT TO NEGATE IN ANY WAY THE PREVIOUS L PROCESS AND NOTIFICATIONS OF TRIBES AND ANYTHING ELSE IN THAT PROCESS. UP THROUGH THE DECISION OF THE PROBABLY. >> Coun. Bassan: MANY COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN AND SCOIR TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: WITH THAT, WE ARE ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 4. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES AND RAISE HAND. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT AMENDMENT IS GOING TO BE AMENDMENT NUMBER 5, IT IS LETTER K IN YOUR PACKET. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I MOVE FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 5. THIS IS BEGINNING ON PAGE 2, LINE 28, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO THE NEXT PAGE. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HE NEEDING TO GET THE MAJORITY OF ALL BRORT OWNERS LOCATED WITHIN 650 FEET OF THE APPLICATION SITE TO SIGN ON. WE ARE ADDING IN PROPERTY OWNERS OR TEANTS. THE ORIGINAL BILL HAD NO INCLUSION FOR BUSINESS OWN ATTORNEYS HAVE A SAY IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND WE ARE ADDING THAT IN. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR AMENDMENT 5. A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR ROGERS. ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OKAY. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. URGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR INCLUSION OF TENANTS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. >> Coun.

THIS WILL BE AMENDMENT NUMBER 6. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS IS, I THINK, JUST A CLEAN CLEAN UP. FLOOR EVENT NUMBER 6 ON PAGE 3, LINE 3 #. DELETING THE WORD ALLEGED IN THE SENTENCE BEFORE THAT, IT TALKS ABOUT IF WE FAIL TO NOTICE, THAT THIS IS NOT INCLUDED, A AND IN THE NEXT PHASE, WE SAY THE ALLEGED FAILURE, AND I THINK THAT MAKES IT VERY CONFUSING AND CAUSED SOME PROBLEMS. WE ARE SAYING, IF YOU DON'T NOTICE, THAT IS STILL NOT GROUNDS FOR APPEAL. SO I MAKE THAT AMENDMENT. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND BY COUNCILLOR ROGERS FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 6 TO O 69. ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun.

Bassan: BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THAT, AMENDMENT G IS GOING TO BE MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES TO TABLE 421 ON LINE 5. WE NEED TO START WITH A MOTION. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I'M OUT OF ORDER WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THEM, SO IT FLEW ME OFF. MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES. ON PAGE 6, LINE 5, I MOVE A DO PASS. AND MATTHEW COX, GIVE IT A VERY BRIEF. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT. MR. COX. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, THANK YOU. WHAT THIS DOES IS BRING IN DUPLEX AND TOWNHOMES IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE HAVE MULTI-FAMILY WITHIN O 24-69. WHAT YOU NOTICE IS THE USE TABLE HAS CHANGED TO MAKE DUPLEXES PERMISSIBLE WITHIN RA, RNC, AND IF YOU LOOK LOWER IN THE AMENDMENT IT SHOWS AN AMENDMENT TO THE USE OF SPECIFIC STANDARDS, AND ASSURES THAT THIS PERMISSIVENESS, OR THE CHANGES, ARE ONLY WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF MAIN STREET CORRIDORS, AND ESSENTIALLY. A.R.T. STATIONS. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. JUST BECAUSE OF, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD, IF COULD BE CONFUSING? A. THE INTENT WAS ALWAYS TO YOU HAVE TOWNHOMES, DUPLEXES AND MULTI-FAMILY IN THIS BILL. SO I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. THERE IS THIS CONCERN ABOUT APARTMENTS AND HIGH-RISES AND THE REALITY IS, BECAUSE OF THE COST OF BUILDING ANYTHING, AS FOLKS POINTED OUT, TOWN HOMELESS POPULATION LIKELY TO MOVE, OR POTENTIALLY, BUT MOST LIKELY TO BE BUILT IN THESE ZONES. S OFFER I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE I HAVE THAT. I OF MOVE A DO PASS, THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THERE'S BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND ALREADY. DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS? >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO THIS. I APPRECIATE CLARIFYING IT, BECAUSE I THINK WE LEAVE IT AS MULTI-FAMILY, IT KIND OF DOESN'T, IT IS NOT SPECIFIC TESTIFY WHAT WE REALLY NEED. THERE IS A LOT 6 TALK IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT L DUPLEXES, MULTI-FAMILY HOMES, AND CAN I NOT SAY -- I CANNOT SAY THAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN DUPLEXES, MULTI-FAMILY HOMES LIKE MYSELF, A SINGLE FAMILY PARENT WITH COLOR, WE DON'T BRING BAD THINGS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ARE NOT GOING TO KILL THE HEADACHE I. CHARACTER OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I HAVE AN EQUITY PRACTITIONER, I CANNOT SIT HERE AND NOT NAME THAT THOSE BELIEFS WERE HEAVILY ROOTED IN RACISM. LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS. AND THE CODEDNESS OF A LOT OF THE COMMENTS. I WAS OFFENDED PERSONALLY AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF COLOR WHO ARE HAD TO LIVE IN DUPLEXES BECAUSE I WANT TO 4REU6 IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DEPARTMENT OFFER DUPLEXES A LOT OF THE TIME. I WANTED 20 LIVE NEAR MY CHILD'S SCHOOL ON TRAMWAY AND LOMAS, BUT COULD NOT FIND A MULTI-FAMILY HOME THAT I COULD INURED THAT AREA. LUCKILY, I ENDED UP IN DISTRICT 6, AND I'M HERE NOW, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. I HAVE TO SAY THAT WE HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM THAT LANGUAGE, AND FROM THAT CODED LANGUAGE, THAT SAYS THAT PEOPLE LIKE ARE GOING TO BRING HORRIBLE THINGS TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HAD ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT, COUNCILORS, KNOWS FAVOR OF AMENDMENT NUMBER 7, RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED? THAT PASSES ON A 9-0 VOTE. >> Coun. Champine: MADAM PRESIDENT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO SUSPEND THE RULES TO EXTEND THE MEETING FROM 10:30 TO 12:30. >> Coun.

MOVING ON TO LETTER H, AMENDMENT NUMBER 8 COUNCILLOR BACA. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WITHDRAW IN AMENDMENT. THIS WAS TO PROVIDE -- >> Coun. Bassan: ITS OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE A MOTION SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO CALL THIS 8, AND WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO LETTER L. AND THAT WILL NOW BE AMENDMENT NUMBER 8. >> Coun. Baca: THIS IS ON HIGH LIMITS ALSO. I'M GOING TO WITHDRAW IT. >> Coun. Bassan: SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO DHAWFL 8. WE WILL MOVE TO AMENDMENT NUMBER F IN YOUR PACKET AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THE SPONSOR IS ON THIS, IT IS NOT LISTED ON MY PAPER. SO COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, AMENDMENT NUMBER 8. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: YES, MADAM PRESIDENT. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT HAVING MY NAME ON IT. I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED. I WILL MOVE FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 8. IT IS BEGINNING ON PAGE 4, LINE 3, AND THEN THE SECTION AROUND APPEAL COSTS. I BELIEVE I'M KEEPING THE INTENT HERE, BUT IT WAS VERY CONFUSING THE WAY IT WAS WORDED AND APPEAL WAS NOT DEFINED ANYWHERE IN THE IDO. SO I HAD THREE CONSTITUENTS EVER CALL ME AND SAY, WHAT'S A LEGAL APPEAL, AND I LOOKED IT UP. IT WAS MEANING TO SAY WE WANTED TO HAVE APPEALS THAT GO TO THE LUHO, BUT THE INTEND IS EXACTLY THE SAME, AND I MOVE FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 8. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOALT MOTION FOR FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 8. >> Coun. Champine: MADAM PRESIDENT, GIVE AN EXPLANATION OF THIS. AGAIN, I KNOW COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN DID A GOOD JOB OF EXPLAINING THAT, BUT JUST CONFIRM THE LANGUAGE CHANGE ON THIS. >> CERTAINLY, COUNCILLOR PEÑA COUNCIL PRESIDENTAND MEMBERS OF. GIVE ME JUST ONE MOMENT, BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT SOMETHING ELSE. AND I AGREE THAT COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN'S DESCRIPTION IS ACCURATE. IT IS JUST A CLARIFYING AMENDMENT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE NATURE OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY HERE. >> Pres. Lewis: WELL, I'M FINE WITH IT, MADAM PRESIDENT. ITS CLEAR. I WAS JUST ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION LANGUAGE IN DIFFERENT PARTS, SO THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. OF. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: THOSE IN FAVOR OF AMENDMENT NUMBER 8, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ANY OPPOSED? THAT PASSES ON AN 8-1.

AND. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION TO AMENDMENT NUMBER 79 WITH A SECOND FROM. OF. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: COUNCILLOR ROGERS. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO A LOT OF RESTRICTION AROUND THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION, AND FOLKS CONCERNED THAT THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IS GOING TO BE A TEN STORY BUILDING. SO WE ARE ADDING IN NEW SECTION IN THAT BASICALLY REQUIRES THE HEIGHT STEP DOWN. IN RESIDENTIAL MIXD IF USE OR NONRESIDENTIAL ZONES. SO THEY DON'T HAVE THE MIXTURE OF RESIDENTIAL AND THEN LARGE TEN STORY BUILDINGS. HFL. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ?E. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, THANK YOU. I PERSONALLY LIKE L HEIGHTS. I LIFE DOWNTOWN, OF COURSE. MY FAVORITE CITIES ARE ALL HIGH-RISES. THERE IS A HIGH RIES RICE TO NEXT TO A SINGLE FAMILY HOMES MANY RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD HERE THAT EVERYBODY LOVES TO LIVE IN. BUT THE REALISH REASON FOR THIS INITIALLY WAS THAT THE PRACTICALITY OF BUILDING ANYTHING ABOVE FOUR STORIES IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND RARELY HAPPENS ANYMORE. I THINK ALBUQUERQUE BUILT ONLY THREE BUILDINGS OVER FIVE STORIES IN THE LAST DECADE. THE REASON IS, THE EXPECTATION IS TOWNHOMES AND DUPLEXESES IS MORE LIKELY TO BE DONE, OR SMALL TWO STORY TOWN HOLES N AN EXAMPLE OF MY OWN HOME, I LIVE IN A TWO BEDROOM, 1400 SQUARE FOOT HOME, HOWEVER, IT CAN'T BE BUILT OUT SIDE OF DOWNTOWN BECAUSE OF THE HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS. SO IT IS GREAT FOR EQUITY FOR PEOPLE STARTING OUT, WE ARE ELIMINATE THAT IS WITH THE RIGHT REQUIREMENTS. BUT THAT SAID, IT WAS A HUGE CONCERNS MORNING OF CONSTITUENTS TODAY SO I'M FINE WITH PUTTING HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS IN. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> Coun. Rogers: JUST A QUICK QUESTION FOR CLARIFICATION. SO THIS AMENDMENT WOULD MEAN A SINGLE FAMILY LOAM IN THE MIDDLE OF OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD COULDN'T BUILD UP THEIR HOME TO SIX STORE ?IS. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, IT DEPENDS WHO OR WHAT IS ABUTTING THAT SINGLE FAMILY HOME. SO IF THAT SINGLE FAMILY HOME HAPPENS TO BE BOUNDED WHICH MIXED USE, THEN -- WELL, ACTUALLY I TAKE BACK. THE BILL IS ONLY PERTINENT TO MUST HAVE LIVING. SO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME WOULD BE ABOUT LIMITED TO THE BASE BUT WHAT THIS DOES IS, BECAUSE WE HAVE NEVER, SINGLE FAMILY HOME NEVER HAD RESIDENTIAL LIMITED HEIGHT, SPHARGS OWN DISTRICTS WERE ALLOWED, BE SO WE DIDN'T NEED TO BRING IN ALL SINGLE FAMILY HOME DISTRICT TO THIS RAN, DWHREAS IT WAS REAL DATED BECAUSE OF THE, AND NOW BECAUSE OF THE AMENDMENT, YOU CAN BUILD UP WITHOUT TBLIG RESIDENTIAL AS A WHOLE CATEGORY FOR ALL THE SINGLE FAMILY ZONED DISTRICTS. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU. 3457. I WILL SAY, I AGREE WITH COUNCILLOR BACA, I TOO LIKE HALL BUILDINGS AND I DON'T THAT THIS PARTICULARLY IS AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT, BUT I HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO BRING IT FORWARD FOR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: THE MOTION TOGETHER IS TO APROOF AMENDMENT NUMBER 9 ON O -69D. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSES ON A 7-2. LAST AMENDMENT THAT I HAVE AT THIS POINT IS LETTER I, WHICH WOULD BE AMENDMENT NUMBER 10. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS IS BEST PRACTICES ON HOW TO BUILD HOUSING ALONG PARK SOMETHING MINIMUMS, HERE IN DOWNTOWN, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PARKING MINIMUMS IN OTHER AREAS, YOU COULD NEED THEM. NEAR AN A.R.T. SPHIETION, THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY. WE ARE ADJUSTING THEM FREE 20 PERCENT TO 50 PERCENT IN SOME AREAS, AND 50 TO 60 IN EARS. YOU COULD THROW UP THE MAP AND SEE WHERE THIS WOULD ACTUALLY EFFECT. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, THE GREEN AREAS ARE THE ONLY PLACES WHERE THIS AMENDMENT WOULD TAKE EFFECT. HOWEVER, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS BILL, ITS STILL ONLY ALONG PRIMARILY CENTRAL AND 4TH STREET, THE CORE AREA. SO I MOVE A DO PASS. THANK YOU. CIEBS THERE IS A MOTION FOR A DO PASS OF AMENDMENT 10, AND A SECOND BY COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> Coun. Peña: THANK YOU, BE MADAM PRESIDENT P SO I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE STAFF. I DON'T KNOW WHO CAN ANSWER THIS. BUT TONIGHT WE ALREADY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH PARKING DOWNTOWN? MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR PEÑA, THAT'S A HARD BUN TO SAY JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE NUMBERS RIGHT ON ME. I DO KNOW OTHER METROPOLITAN REDEVELOPMENT AREA IS DOING A CITIED AT THE MOMENT TO DETERMINE WHAT THE POSSIBLE ISSUES ARE. I WOULD SAY THAT MIGHT BE A POLICY CALL RATHER THAN A FACT THAT I HAVE. >> Coun. Peña: AND THEN, YOUR HONOR, WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING ON IN COORS AND CENTRAL IN MY DISTRICT, THEY ARE SAYING IT IS REDUCING BECAUSE WE HAVE CARS THAT ARE DRIVING, AND THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERNS BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT TEEN AIMINGERS DO DRIVE. SO THIS KIND OF CERTAINLY WITH THE PARKING DISTRICT (INAUDIBLE). >> Coun. Bassan: ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR BACA TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Baca: MADAM PRESIDENT? A. , I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: WE ARE GOING TO VET ON AMENDMENT 10 TO O 69. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSES ON A 5-4 VOTE. AND I WOULD SAY THAT WE DO HAVE EE. T, STILL, WHICH IS GOING TO BE -- NO? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, THAT WAS REPLACED BY ONE OF THE OTHERS. >> Coun. Bassan: ALL RIGHT. COUNCILORS, ANY ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS? >> Coun. Peña: MADAM PRESIDENT, I HAVE A HANDFUL OF AMENDMENTS. TENTATIVELY, I WANT TO BELIEF FACE BEFORE WE GET STARTED ON THEM, IF I DECIDE TO ACTUALLY EVEN MOVE THEM FORWARD, I THINK ONE OF THEM I'M NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD JUST BASED ON SOME OF THE CONVERSATION WE HAVE LETTER HAVE, BUT, YOU KNOW, EVER IF I CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PRIVILEGE HERE, NOT FOR THE FINAL PORTION, DISCUSSION OF THE BILL HAD I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO THE OVERALL DISCUSSION AND HAVING THE DISCUSSION NOW, OR PART OF THE DISCUSSION, I SHOULD SAY, IS THAT WE HAVE HAD 24 CONVERSATION. SOME PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT THE A.R.T. AND HOW PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE ANY TRANSIT CORRIDOR AND IF MANY ART WAS GOING TO BE BUILT, THEY WOULD HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY, WE HAVE A LOT OF VACANT SPACES DOWNTOWN, I KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FILLING AND OTHER SAY IS AND OTHER VAIF CANIS HES THERE,S FORWARD BACK THEN WITH THE A.R.T. AT THE TIME THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF YOUTH UNDER 18, YOUTH UNDER THE AGE OF 25, AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE STAT IS, BUT MOST OF THE YOUTH IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE LIVE IN THE SOUTHWEST AREA OF ALBUQUERQUE, WHICH IS REALLY KIND OF FAR AND THERE IS A LOT OF DENSITY IN TERMS OF PRIMARILY HOUSING AND LACK OF COMMERCIAL. SO AT THE TIME, MY CONCERN THERE WAS WHERE WOULD YOU HAVE OUR YOUTH. WE ARE NOT FOCUSING A LOT OF RESOURCES UNANIMOUSLY PLENTIES TO THAT AREA. WE WORKED ON COORS AND TRYING TO ENCOURAGE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA, BECAUSE WE BRIE MEAFERL HAVE HOUSING THAT OUT PACES OUR COMMERCIAL AREA, STATISTICALLY HIGHER THAN IT DOES NOT CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. ANYWAY, I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER HERE WHERE ME TODAY. BUT THEN YOU GO FAST FORWARD TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DOLLARS AND YOU PUT A LOT OF MONEY TOWARDS THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND MY CONCERN AT THE TIME ISN'T SEEING ALL THE YOUTH HERE TODAY TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, I THINK TRVE HERE ON THIS DIAS, INCLUDING MYSELF, THINKS WE DO NEED ADDITIONAL HOUSING, ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT SOMETIMES THERE IS AN OPTS TBHECT WE DO THAT, AND ARE WE DON'T GO IN A VERY METHODICAL WAY ON HOW WE DO AFFORDABLE HOUSING. YOU TALK ABOUT EQUITY AND HOW IT HAD I AM AS MANY PACTS PA DAYS ADD VANTAGED COMMUNITIES, A OF A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES TO GHIFNL WITH, RIGHT? IN M. H. AND SO WE DID THIS, AND WE NOW HAVE LOTS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS GOING UP. MOST OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS GOING UP, NERL AN AREA THAT'S ALREADY CONSIDERED A HIGH CONS TRAIFTION POVERTY. EVENLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS DEDICATION TO SAY THAT WE CANNOT DO A CONCENTRATION OF POVERTY. NOT BECAUSE IT CREATES CRIME, RIGHT. I THINK THE TONE COMES ACROSS LIKE THAT. NOT BECAUSE IT CREATES CRIME. BUT IT FURTHER IMPACTS AND FURTHER CREATES BARRIERS FOR PEOPLE IN THOSE COMMUNITIES, LIKE I SAID HAD THAT DON'T HAVE COMMERCIAL SHALL THAT DEPARTMENT HAVE ACCESS TO AMENITIES, THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THESE THINGS. SO WHEN WE PUT FORTH ALL OF THESE HOUSING DOLLARS, THERE IS A LOT OF PROJECTS GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO I'M REALLY, YOU KNOW, I DON'T NECESSARILY FEEL THAT WE NEED BILL, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PROJECTS GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE CITY, BUT MOST OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING ON IN OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY, OTHER THAN DISTRICT 3, ARE MARKET AND SOME AFFORDABLE, BUT MANY OF THE PROJECTS IN DISTRICT 3 ARE PRIMARY AFFORDABLE AND HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CONCENTRATION OF POVERTY. SO FOR ME, I THINK THERE IS LIKE 7 PROJECTS NOTICE WORKS, AND THESE ARE ALL KIND OF THE SITUATION THAT I'M DESCRIBING HERE. I HAVE A COUPLE OF AMENDMENTS THAT REALLY TOUCH ON, AND I'M ONLY PUTTING THESE AMENDMENTS FORWARD, BECAUSE I THINK THIS BILL MAY PASS TONIGHT, AND I WANT TO PUT THESE BILLS FORWARD TO PROTECT DISTRICT 3. >> Coun. Bassan: SO YOU DO WANT TO MOVE AN AMENDMENT? >> Coun. Peña: I WANT TO MOVE, THE FIRST ONE, AND WHAT NUMBER ARE WE ON? >> Coun. Bassan: THIS IS AMENDMENT NUMBER 11. >> Coun. Peña: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I MOVE FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 11. AND THIS ONE, AND I'M GOING READ THE EXPLANATION. THIS EVENT ALLOWS DUPLEX AND TOWNHOMES TO BE PERMITS ANY OF THE SOAP DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTED ABOVE WITHIN 1320 FEET OF THE CORRIDOR AND CREATE A TRAB ITS CORRIDOR NORTH OF CENTRAL, AND EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE. ITS ALSO PROHIBITS MULTI-FAMILY WITHIN ZONE DISTRICTS LISTED SOUTH OF CENTRAL AVENUE AND WEST OF THE RIVER. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 11. IS THERE A SECOND? A SHEKDZ FROM OF COUNCILLOR GROUT. HE COUNCILORS INITIAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NICK FROM THE ADMINISTRATION? CIER JUST A CLARIFYING QUESTION. SO ADDING THE BOUNDARY JUST MEANS IT WOULDN'T GO INTO DISTRICT 3; IS THAT CORRECT? >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILLOR PEÑA TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Peña: I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: SO WE WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 11. COUNCILORS IN FAVOR OF AMENDMENT NUMBER 11, RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY YES. I'M SORRY? WE ARE NOW AT A VOTE NOW. WE ARE GOING TO WAIT JUST A SECOND. >> I APOLOGIZE COUNCILLOR BASSAN. MR. COX JUST IDENTIFIED SOMETHING WE NEED TO CLARIFY. I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR COUNCIL NOT 20 VOTE UNTIL WE CLARIFY. >> Coun. Bassan: GO AHEAD, MR. COX. WHILE MR. COX IS VERIFYING THAT, SINCE WE ARE BACK ON THIS, COUNCILLOR BACA, IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MR. ASK YOUR QUESTION, WE WILL CIRCLE BACK TO COUNCILLOR PEÑA TO CLOSE ONE MORE TIME. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I'M JUST TRYING TO OUNCE THE FIRST ONE. ARE YOU JUST CLARIFYING LOCATION? >> Coun. Peña: MADAM PRESIDENT, THIS IS SPUR OF THE MOMENT. THIS IS NORTH OF CENTRAL, EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE. >> Coun. Baca: IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS WOULD AFFECT THE AREAS -- >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY. THE PORTION AND THE DESIRE OF THIS AMENDMENT IS TO RESTRICT AREAS ON SOUTH OF CENTRAL AND WEST OF RIO GRANDE AND TRYING TO CREATE THE COUNTER OF THAT TO THE REST OF IT, WE BELIEVE THAT WE UNNECESSARILY RESTRICTED ADDITIONAL PORTIONS OF THE CITY, WHICH IS WHAT COUNCILLOR BACA IS IDENTIFYING AND WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO CLARIFY RIGHT HERE. WE APOLOGIZE. >> Coun. Peña: THEA THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. AFTER I READ IT, I WAS THINKING THIS IS I KNOW CORRECT. >> Coun. Bassan: WITH THAT, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE AMENDMENT NUMBER 11. SECONDS FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES OF TABLING SO WE CAN MOVE ON AND COME BACK. ALL OPPOSED? I THINK THAT PASSES, AT LEAST 8 TO 1. COUNCILOR LEWIS? ARE YOU OKAY? 9-0, COUNCILOR LEWIS HAS SAID YES. OKAY, SO WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON THEN. I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SKIP PROBABLY THE NEXT ONE IN THE PACKET. I BELIEVE IT WORKS KIND OF CONGRUENT TO THE ONE WE JUST TABLED. IF I'M CORRECT, COUNCILLOR PEÑA. AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE. WE WILL SAY AMENDMENT NUMBER 12. >> Coun. Peña: THIS IS A FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 12. I'M SORRY I, I'M LOSING MY VOICE. WE DON'T HAVE ANY WATER. KNEE WAY, THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I MOVE FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 12, AND I'LL EXPLAIN. THIS AMENDMENT ALLOWS FOR MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN RA, R 1, RNC ANDRT ZONES WITNESSER 1320 FEET OF THE AREAS, AS LONG AS THOSE DEVELOPMENTS ARE MADE UP OF 51 PERCENT OF MARKET RATES UNITS SH. >> Coun. Bassan: MOVE WEAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT. >> Coun. Peña: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN ANYMORE? >> Coun. Peña: THIS GOES INTO WHAT I WAS SAYING ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING BUILT NOW IN THE DISTRICT THAT ARE PRIMARILY AFFORDABLE AND WE DO NOT WANT TO N FIND OUR SELL INS A SIDEWALK WHERE WE ARE CONCENTRATING POVERTY AND I THINK HELPS TO ATHAT'S ISSUE. I CAN KIND OF PREFACE IT WITH A, I RECEIVED A SCAWM FROM A DEVELOPER, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOE, BUT THEY ARE ASKING TO KIND OF, THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED TO DO SOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT THEY WANTED TO DO, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DO THEM THEY WOULD HAVE TO, BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TOLD THEM THEY WERE DOING A CONCENTRATION OFF POVERTY, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO EX-FEBD THE MRA. I DON'T WANT US ABLE TO TO DO THAT. I THINK THIS IS A TOOL FOR THAT. SO I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IN COUNCIL STAFF HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? >> I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD. >> Coun. Bassan: ALL RIGHT, WE WILL TAKE YOUR URGING OF THE SUPPORT TO CLOSE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT FAILS ON A 4-5. SO COUNCILLOR PEÑA, ARE YOU GOING TO WANT TO SKIM THE NEXT T ONE, THEN IN IT WAS THE TABLED AMENDMENT TOO GO WITH THIS ONE THAT JUST FAILED? >> Coun. Peña: I WOULD LIKE TO VOTE ON IT, SO IT IS A MATTER OF THE RECORD. >> Coun. Bassan: SO IF YOU WANT TO MOVE EVENT NUMBER 13. >> Coun. Peña: FLOOR EVENT NUMBER 13U8 IS THE EXPLANATION FOR THIS AMENDMENT. THE AMENDMENT USING THE WORD PREMISES TO CLARIFY THAT ARE THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION DOESN'T PERTAINING TO ANY OTHER TYPE OF STRUCTURE OTHER THAN AFFORDABLE. IT COME PRICES OF 56 IS OF 1 PERCENT OF MARKET RATE. HE HAVE. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION N APPEAR SECOND. SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT. >> Coun. Peña: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun.

THIS WILL BE AMENDMENT -- SO THEN I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO BRING BACK EVENT NUMBER, TO UNTABLE AMENDMENT NUMBER 11. THERE IS A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT. KNOWS FAVOR OF REMOVING FROM THE TABLE, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY YES. ANYONE OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. SO WE ARE BACK ON AMENDMENT 11. COUNCILLOR PEÑA, IF YOU WANT, WE WILL GO TO MR. COX AND MR. MORROW. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, WE REWORKED IF AND HAVE THE CORRECT LANGUAGE UP NOW. BASICALLY, WHAT WE WERE CONCERNED WITH EARLIER IS THAT SAYING NORTH OF CENTRAL AND EAST OF THE RIVER, IT WAS GOING TO EXCLUDE EVEN SOUTH OF CENTRAL, EAST OF THE RIVER. SO THE INTENT WAS TO PCH BASICAY TAKE OUT SOUTH OF CENTRAL, WEST OF THE RIVER, A WHOLE DISTRICT. >> Coun. Bassan: TO CLARIFY, THEN, THIS AMENDMENT IS GOING TO NOT HAVE WHAT WE ORIGINALLY HAVE AS RED ON THE TOP, RIGHT? WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE THIS NORTH OF CENTRAL THAT, WILL BE OUT, AND IT WILL READ BUILDING, THIS USE IS PROHIBITED IN THE RA, R 1, EXCEPT WITHIN 120 FEET OF MSTP AREAS, AND THEN IT WILL AMENDMENT THE AMEND THE SOWPGHT OF CENTRAL AREA AND REST OF THE RIO GRANDE RIVER THIS USE IS PRO PROHIBITED? IS THAT CORRECT FROM WHAT YOU'RE SEEING STAFF? >> THAT IS CORRECT, MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. THAT IS CORRECT, THE 4B, 8A IS, THE PART BRIEFLY PASSED BY THE COUNCIL, IT IS INCLUDED FOR CONTEXT SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE OTHER AMENDMENT S IT EXCLUDE SOUTH OF CENTRAL, WREST OF THE RIVER. THAT IS THE NEW PORTION AND THAT IS THE PORTION YOU'RE VOTES ON. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILLOR PEÑA, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO PROCEED? COIM I ACCEPT THOSE THINGS MR., , THEYWERE IN OTHER. >> Coun. Bassan: ANSWER COUNCILLOR GROUT AGREES. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OF. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I AM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THESE THINGS THAT SAY, NOT NEW MEXICO MY DISTRICT. I JUST LOOKED BACK TO SEE SO I WASN'T MISS REMEMBERING, AND COUNCILLOR BACA AND COUNCILLOR ROGERS JUST TRIED A BILL RECENTLY THAT WAS JUST FOR THEIR DISTRICT, AND WE VOTE THAT HAD DOWN WITH THE PREMISE THAT WE DID NOT LIKE THE PATCH WORK REGULATION, AND DEVELOPERS WILL SAY, ON THIS SIDE OF THE STREET, YOU CAN DO IT, AND ON THIS SIDE, YOU CAN'T. SO WE JUST TURNED DOWN TO HAVE DISTRICT SPECIFIC REGULATIONS AND SO TO MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE TO THINK WE WOULD HAVE DISTRICT SPECIFIC REGULATIONS IN THIS BILL. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. JUST A QUESTION FOR CLARIFICATION, LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE AMENDMENTS WE JUST DID. IF THIS PASSES AND WE WOULD OBJECT, DOES IT CHANGE ANY OF THE BILL THAT WE CHANGED WITH COUNCILLOR PEÑA'S AMENDMENTS? >> Coun. Bassan: MR. COX? >> MADAM PRESIDENT IT COUNCILLOR ROGERS, NO, IT DOES NOT CHANGE ANY OF THOSE, IT JUST BASICALLY RESTRICTS THE GEOGRAPHY, MORE THAN ANYTHING. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT DOES. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> Coun. Peña: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS WAS MY HAIL MARY. I FEEL LIKE THIS BILL WILL PASS, SO L I WANTED TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP DISTRICT 3678 THIS WAS MY HAIL MARY.

I BELIEVE IT IS TABLED THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE CHANGES THAT JUST PASSED. >> Coun. Peña: OKAY E THANK YOU, I THOUGHT WE HAD COVERED ALL OF THEM. BUT I WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE IT SO THE EXPLANATION, REMOVE THE WORD PREMISES TO CLARIFY THAT THE HEIGHT EXEMPTION -- >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILLOR PEÑA, I THINK THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE JUST REMOVED. >> COUNCIL BREZ AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THIS IS THE SECOND AMENDMENT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO BE MOVED, AND AS WE WERE TRYING TO CLARIFY THE FIRST AMENDMENT, THIS AMENDMENT GOT SKIPPED. WE MOVED ONTO THE THE THIRD ONE. SO THIS ONE RELATED TO THE HEIGHT LIMIT WAS NOT MOVED. >> Coun. Peña: SO MADAM PRESIDENT, AS WE WERE DISCUSSING IT -- >> Coun. Bassan: HOLD ON EVERYONE. WE TABLED AMENDMENT NUMBER 11, AND WE MOVED ON TO AMENDMENTS NUMBER 12 AND 13, WHICH WAS ABOUT 51 PERCENT OF MARKET RATE RESIDENTIAL UNITS. WE NEED TO COME BACK TO THE AMENDMENT 14, WHICH IS THE TABLE THAT WAS THE COMPLOAMENT TO NUMBER 11, WHICH PASSED ON A 5-4 VOTE. SO. >> Coun. Peña: COUNCILLOR PEÑAT TO MOVE NUMBER 14, DIVISION THE COMPLE MEANT. >> Coun. Peña: I STILL DO NOT HAVE IT CORRECT, BUT MADAM PRESIDENT, THANK YOU. OF THIS REMOVES THE WORD PREMISES TO CLARIFY NATIONAL HEIGHT EXEMPTION DOESN'T PERTAIN TO ANY OTHER STRUCTURE OR TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, OTHER THAN DWELLING. MULTI-FAMILY IS ALSO CORRECT. THE TITLING OF TABLE SIZE ONE FOUR AS IT EXISTS CURRENT LIP IN THE IDO. IT ALSO PLACES LANGUAGE IN THE AREA THAT EXEMPTS THE AREA OF THE CITY SOUTH OF CENTRAL, APPEAR WEST OF THE RIVER, FROM THE HEIGHT EXEMPTION WITHIN MANY QUARTER MILE OF THE MSPT AREAS, AND MOVE TO PASS. >> Coun.

FL YOU KNOW WHAT, ACTUALLY, THROUGH GOING TO EFFECT EVERYTHING IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE TABLE MATCH THE ACTUAL PASSAGE OF THE BECAME IN WE NOW HAVE AN INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE TABLE AND WE HAVE AN INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN WHAT WE JUST PASSED. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, BECAUSE THE FORMER AMENDMENT THAT YOU ALL JUST PASSED REFERRED TO MUST HAVE, SOUTH OF CENTRAL AND WEST OF THE RIVER, THIS TABLE IS ACTUALLY MOOT, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE MULTI-FAMILY THERE. SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR A HEIGHT RESTRICTION OR ANYTHING REGARDING IT. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. ANY OTHER AMENDMENTS ON O 69? ALL RIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE BACK TO O 69 AS AMENDED. COUNCILORS, HAD HOSPITAL WANTS TO GET US STARTED. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE REST OF YOU? AND THEN WE WILL GO BACK TO THE SPONSORS. >> Coun. Peña: I'LL START. THANK SUBSTITUTE R, MADAM PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THERE WAS A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT. IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR A LOT OF THIS, BECAUSE I BELONGED TO A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS FOR MANY YEARS, BEFORE I CAME ON TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THERE WAS A LOT OF YOUNG FOLKS TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ADDRESSING OUR HOMELESS ISSUE, AND I DON'T THINK THIS BILL DOES THAT. THIS BILL ACTUALLY IS REALLY A KICK IN THE TEETH TO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. WITH WE SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I WOULD SAY ARE ELDER ITS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THEY HAVEN'T SEEN IT RIGHT ALL THESE YEARS, THEY HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT DON'T DO THE THEIR DUE DID I JERNTION AND GUEST THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORS INFORMED ABOUT THE APPEAL PROCESS, I HAVE NEIGHBORSES WITH THOSE CONCERNS IN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR NARROW AND SEE HOW WE CAN WORK WITH THEM TO BE ABLE TO HOLD NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS ACCOUNTABLE TO ABLE TO SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU NEED TO DO TO BE ABLE TO COME TO THE CITY SO YOU CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, OR THE COALITION. THE CITY NEEDS TO SUPPORT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND COLLISIONS MORE WITH PROVIDING THEM ACCESS TO NEWSLETTERS OR BEING ABLE TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THEIR COMMUNITY. BUT THESE ARE A LOT OF HARD WORKING PEOPLE, AND AGAIN, I'LL SAY ELDERS. I STARTED OUT WITH A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, I THINK I WAS IN MY 20s AND NOW I WOULDN'T SAY HOW OLD I AM, BUT WORKING AND GOING TO MEETINGS YEAR AFTER YEAR, MONTH AFTER YEAR, YOU KNOW, JUST TRYING TO REALLY HOLD GROUND IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS FAIRNESS AND THERE IS EQUITY, AND, YOU KNOW, SO THIS JUST REMINDED ME, WE JUST UPDATED THE IDO A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK, AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WERE STARTED BECAUSE IT WAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S POLICY AND IT STILL IS. SO I HAVE CONCERN WITH SOME OF THIS AND HOW WE ARE LOSING THE VOICES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. BUT IT WAS FEDERAL POLICY SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AND IN THE NARO, THESE ARE SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS OF THAT WERE PUT IN. NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WERE ESTABLISHED TO HAVE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WITH THE CITY OF CRITICAL TO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS SUCCESS WHEN IT COMES TO IMPLEMENTING NEIGHBORHOOD GOALS. AND THEN HERE WE PUT IN PART OF, WHERE, AS YOU KNOW, BUT THEY WERE PART OF WHY WE ESTABLISHED THIS, RIGHT, AND IT SAYS, WHEREAS THE CONCEPT OF MODERN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IS ABOUT AT LEAST IN PART ROOTED IN CHANGES, IN ATTITUDES TOWARDS CIVIC PARTICIPATION IN HAD THE 1960S. SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS CAME OUT OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT BACK THEN. AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF RED LINING AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING, AND SEGREGATION. FEDERAL POLICY REQUIRED GOVERNMENTS TO ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITIES DURING URBAN PLANNING PROCESSES WHERE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS CAN SERVE AS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ENGAGING COMMUNITY MEMBERS AT GRASS ROOTS LEVELS IN SOCIAL JUSTICE AND COMMUNITY ISSUES IN COLLABORATIVE 34R57BG. AND THEN IT JUST GOES ON. IT JUST REALLY TALKS ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS A POLICY THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WERE CREATED TO HELP TO ADVOCATE FOR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE NOT PART OF THE PROCESS. AND I WAS JUST DOING SOME RESEARCH A MINUTE ALLEGE, AND LET ME FIND THE -- THIS IS A STUDY THAT WAS DONE FOR ANOTHER AREA, BUT IT SAY SAYS, TO PROMOTE COLLABORATIVE URBAN PLANNING, THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REQUIRES THAT THE CITY AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS CONSULT WITH COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY PLANNING PROCESSES. OF NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WERE ORIGINALLY ENGAGED IN ENGAGE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN LOCAL SOCIAL RL JUSTICE ISSUES IN ORDER TO MEET THIS MANDATE. LEE LYING ON THESE ORGANIZATIONS RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THEY FULFILL THE POTENTIAL IN THAT ROLE. SEE THE FINDINGS TBRS THIS STUDY SHOWS THAT THE FIND POSITION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS CURRENTLY ARE ENCOUNTERING BARRIERS THAT QUIET COLLECTIVE VOICES TO THE URBAN PLANSERS WITH ABOUT THE WANTS AND NEEDS OF THE HIEWPT COMMUNITY. NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS SERVE AN IMPORTANT ROLE, AND DO THEY NEED WORK, AND HAVE SOME OF THEM BECOME WHERE THEY ARE MAYBE CYCLED SOME DEVELOPMENT, ABSOLUTELY. I AGREE, AND HAVE HAD MANY DISCUSSIONS WITH COUNCILOR LEWIS ABOUT HOW WE CAN REALLY PROMOTE REALLY GOOD DEVELOPMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND YEAH, SOMETIMES NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IT DOES SEEM LIKE THERE ARE SOME APPEALS THAT SEEM TO BE FRIVOLOUS. BUT IN OTHER SITUATION ITS, WHEN WE'RE MEETING THOSE VOICE ITS,* MIEWTING THOSE VOICES, THEN WE ARE MEETING THOSES THAT ARE NOT FRIVOLOUS. I WANT TO SAY THAT FOR NOW, BUT I MAY HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. COUNCILLOR BACA, COUNCILOR LEWIS, I FIGURED YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, AND THANK YOU EVERYBODY WHO PUT IN ALL THE TIME TONIGHT. SOME OF THESE, WE SPENT THE LAST 25 YEARS CERTIFICATE IN FACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. EVEN OF EVER RESURRECTED A DEFUNCT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. THEY ARE IMPORTANT FOR SOCIETY. A LONG HISTORY OF DOING GOOD THINGS, AND A HISTORY OF NOT ALWAYS DOING GOOD THINGS. I DON'T TAKE ANY OF THIS LIGHTLY, I WANT FOLKS TO KNOW THAT. NONE OF THIS IS FRIVOLOUS TO ME. THAT SAID, WE HAVE A CRISIS OF HOUSE ANYTHING OUR COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT IS FAMILIES HOPING TO PURCHASE A HOME, BEING ABLE TO AT THAT GET FAIR RENT, OR LACK OF HOUSING FIRST POLICY THAT'S EFFECTS OUR OWN HEALTH COMMUNITY, A GROWING HEALTH COMMUNITY. HOUSING OF ALL TYPES THAT WE NEED HERE IN OUR CITY. IN FACT, WE ALL HEARD THE HOUSING ASSESSMENTS AT OUR LAST COUNCIL MEETINGS ON HOW SHORT WE ARE ON HOW LONG. SO IT IS FAIR TO SAY SOME OF THIS HASN'T BOB HEARD BEFORE. SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, NOT ASSOCIATION HAD BUT JUST THE APPEAL PROCESS, THAT IS NEW. IT'S ALSO, WHEN IT COMES TO THE PORTION ON HOUSING, TO SAY THAT THE STAFF HASN'T BEEN HEARD, I DISAGREE WITH THAT, STRONG LIKE AND THAT'S BECAUSE A FEW YEARS AGO, THE ADMINISTRATION TRIED TO PASS HOUSING FIRST. S AND IT FAILED, OTHER THAN IT GOT THROUGH A FEW MINOR THINGS. I THINK I HELD FIVE TOWN HALLS, SOME OF WHICH I WENT TO, SOMETHING LIKE 25 COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND THEN SPECIFICALLY, LAST YEAR, COUNCILLOR ROGERS AND COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN TRIED TO DO TO YOU PLEXES, WENT TO COMMITTEES, LOTS OF DISCUSSIONS, AND MYSELF AND COUNCILLOR ROGERS TRIED TO DO THE SHORT-TERM RENTABLES, BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITIES ARE NOW HONE UNDER DATED WITH COMMERCIAL ENTITIES THAT HAVE TAKEN HOUSING OFF THE MARKET. SO WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOUSING AND WE HAVE HAD A TON OF COMMUNITY INPUT ON HOUSING. AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED N AND YET THE PROBLEM HAS GREEN IN THAT TIME. SO WE ARE HERE AGAIN. TRYING TO GET SOME HOUSING L BUILT. THAT HE WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO. I THINK THAT A TON OF PUBLIC COMMENT HERE. I WISH MY E-MAIL, I NEED TO FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO GET THE E-MAIL, I COUNTED TONIGHT 36 FOR AND 32 OPPOSED AND MY E-MAIL, I HAVE 158 FOR AND 72 AGAINST. SOMEHOW I WANT TO MAKE THAT PUBLIC RECORD FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE. TONIGHT WAS PRETTY EVEN, BUT OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT FOR THIS EXISTS. THERE ARE SOME COALITIONINGS IN THERE IT OUR YOUNGEST PROFESSIONALS, I WOULD SAY, THEY SAY, I CAN'T BUY ALLOWS AND I CAN'T FIND A PLACE TO WHRI. I WISH WE COULD DO RENT CONTROL, BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT. THE STATE WON'T ALLOW TO US DO THAT. ALL THAT SAID, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING, IAN I WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO DISCUSS IT, AND WE NOW HAVE AN AMENDED BILL HERE, AND I THINK IT IS A REASONABLE BILL, IF AT THIS POINT, FOR SURE. BUT I WOULD MOVE DEFERRAL ON THIS UNTIL JANUARY 16th. >> Coun. Bassan: YOU MEAN JANUARY 22nd? THERE IS A MOTION FOR DEFERRAL TO JANUARY 22nd IT IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR PEÑA. >> Pres. Lewis: MADAM PRESIDENT, I OPPOSE OUT DEFERRAL. I THINK WE HAVE HAD A GOOD LONG DISCUSSION ON THIS TONIGHT. THE BILL IS CLEAR. WE MADE SOME GOOD CHANGES AND AMENDMENTS. I THINK CLARIFY A LOOT OF THINGS. I THINK ALONG WITH COUNCILLOR BACA, WE DO GOOD WORK TONIGHT. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION TO DEFER TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AND VOTE YES. OKAY. YOU MAKE A VERY DEFINITIVE HAND UP ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. THAT'S FOUR AND THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY, THANK YOU. SO MOTION TO DEFER FAILS, WE ARE BACK ON THE BILL. AS AMENDED. DID DIDN'T SEEM AS THOUGH THERE WERE OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCILORS. COUNCILLOR BACA TO CLOSE. >> Pres. Lewis: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: WE ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR A DO PASS OF O 69 AS AMENDED BLUE MUST HAVE TIMES. THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED? MANY THE BILL PASSES ON A 7-2. MOVING ON TO ITEM C. COUNCILLOR GROUT, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU. THIS IS DIRECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS TO MAKE A HOUSING VOUCHER PROGRAM MORE EE FISHING AND TRANSPARENT AND I MOVE A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR A DO PASS AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR ROGERS O. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, YOU'LL PROBABLY NOTICE I'VE ASKED LOTS OF QUESTIONS OVER THE YEARS ABOUT OUR HOUSING VOUCHER ISSUES. AS A CITY TAXPAYERS HAVE SPEAPT LOT OF MONEY, HAVE APPROPRIATED A LOT OF MONEY, TO OUR, TO THE INITIATIVE, BUT WE ARE NOT SEEING RESULTS. I DON'T THINK IT IS EFFICIENT. I DON'T THINK IT IS REAL FRAIRNTS. SO THROUGH THIS, WE HAVE COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS FOR A PROCESS FOR THE TRIPLE H TO GO THROUGH. WE MET WITH THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR ,VERY NICE PERSON, AND SHE SAID, WELL, WE ARE DOING SOME OF THOSE THINGS, AND WE CAN DO THEM BETTER, AND SO I'M HOPING THAT THIS DIRECTION WILL HELP THEM IMPROVE. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO, WHEN FOLKS NEED HOUSING, THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET 2 NOW AND THEY SHIEPT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE DIFFERENT AVENUES TO GET THERE. AND YOU NEED TO HAVE IT MORE PRACTICE, IT NEEDS TO BE EFFICIENT, AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS WILL GIVE THE DEPARTMENT ON TRACK IN THAT PERSPECTIVE, WHERE OTHERS CAN SEE, AS WELL, THE PUBLIC, WE CAN SEE WHERE OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE GOING. FL WE DO HAVE SOME AMENDMENTS. I KNOW THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPEAKERS. >> Coun. Bassan: THE MOTION IS FOR A DO PASS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. DID WE GET A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR ROGERS, OKAY. MR. CORNELIUS. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. >> HI IS THERE AGAIN. IT IS HARD TO NOT LIKE THIS. THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS. I THINK CENTRALIZE BEING THE BUDGET PROGRAM IS REALLY IMPORTANT. I THINK ENSURING THAT THROWING MONEY AT A NONPROFIT AND HOUSING COLLECTIVE HAS KIND OF SHOWN A LOT OF FLAWS. I THINK WE HAVE SEEN THAT IN THE PAST YEAR. I THINK THERE WILL BE SOME ISSUES ON THIS, AND I DIDN'T GET A FULL CHANCE TO READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING. MR. FREE MAN IS GOING TO HAVE SOME VERY GOOD POINTS ABOUT THINGS WRONG WITH THIS POLICEMAN, BUT I DO ALSO WANT TO MENTION WITH THE PASSING, WITH O 69, I THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO EXPAND THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, EXPAND 23450 PUBLIC HOUSE, WHICH I KNOW IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE SOMETHING YOU GUYS ARE INTO, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT PUBLIC OPTIONS TO STABILIZE THE MARKET AND ENSURE THAT THERE ARE SOME KIND OF RENT STABILIZED PROPERTIES, AND WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH RENT CONTROL, LIKE THE STATE IS LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, AND PROTECTIONS, LANDLORD REGISTRIES. AND WITH, THAT I THINK THE WHOLE PROCESS NEEDS TO BE STREAM LINED. AND PEOPLE NEED ACCESS TO GET IDS BEFORE THEY CAN GET A VOUCHER, SO CHANGE THE ID PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTS HAVE EASIER WAYS TO GET ID, THAT WOULD HELP THEM A LOT IN OF THAT PROCESS. >> I LIKE THE IDEAS OF THIS BUT IT IS A FLAWED DESIGN. THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE ANY PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING VOUCHERS UNLESS YOU HAVE A PHYSICAL ORMENT MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO THE VOUCHER, YOU HAVE TO START WITH THAT. A CASEWORKER HAS TO HELP SOMEBODY GET RESOURCES, THEY HAVE TO HELP THEM GET ID DOCUMENTATION, LIKE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE, SOCIAL SECURITY REGARD CARD, THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS WHEN SOMEONE IS BORN OUT OF STATE. A SILENT DEPARTMENT EXECUTE A HOUSING VOUCHER, GET A JOB, OR RECEIVE SNAP BENEFITS WITHOUT THESE DOCUMENTS, EVERY HOUSING VOUCHER I HAVE SEEN HAD A NINETY DAY EXPIRATION DATE. THE PROCESS IS MADE UP OF TWO FACE HE IS. MY VOUCHER SAID I HAD A PROVE THAT MANY IT'S LITERALLY HOMELESS FOR 18 MONTHS COLINLY. SEVERAL MONTHS OF THAT, I SPENT AT THE WEST SIDE SHELTER. I HAD TO GET AFTER SIGNED AFFIDAVIT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE WEST SIDE AS PART OF MY CONDITION OF GETTING MY VOUCHER. I HAD TOY RUN AROUND ALL OVER THE CITY TO GET SIGNED AFFIDAVITS. IT TOOK ME A MONTH AND A HALF TO GET ALL OF THAT DOCUMENTATION I NEEDED FOR MY HOUSING VOUCHER, AND THEN PHASE 2 IS FINDINGS SOMEBODY THIS WILL TAKE THE HOUSING VOUCHER. SO EVEN THOUGH ON JANUARY 15, I WAS GIVEN A VOUCHER, I DIDN'T SIGN MY LEASE UNTIL APRIL 10 OCTOBER. IT TOOK ME 85 DAYS. AND I WORKED AT IT REALLY HARD. I WORKED AT IT NONSTOP THE ENTIRE TIME. THE IDEA THAT YOU WOULD SHRINK THE WINDOW FROM 90 DAYS TO 30 DAYS, THAT EABDZ THE HOUSING PROGRAM. NOBODY CAN DO IT IN 30 DAYS, THANK YOU. >> WHAT WE NEED IN THE CITY IS MORE FUNDING FOR THE CASEWORKERS THAT ARE PAID A LIVING WAGE, TRAINED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND CLIENTS THAT ARE APPLYING FOR HOUSE THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE VOUCHER SYSTEM. THE NEW MEXICO COALITION PHONED HOMELESSNESS AND OUR MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE COUNCIL ALSO TOKER MEET WITH US TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THE HOMELESS RESPONSE SYSTEM WORKS AND WAYS THAT IT CAN BEING IMPROVED AND TO UNDERSTAND THE COUNCIL'S VISION FOR HOUSING FOR HOMELESSNESS IN ALBUQUERQUE. THANK YOU. EVER. >> JANICE HERRERA. JANICE? SHE DECLINED A COUPLE OF TIMES. I THINK THAT CONCLUDES COMMENTS, MADAM PRESIDENT. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU. THE MOTION IS CURRENTLY FOR A DO PASS OF R 109. COUNCILLOR GROUT, IF YOU WANT TO START WITH AMENDMENT NUMBER 1. OF. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU YOU MADAM PRESIDENT. FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 1, AND I'M NOT GOING 20 READ THE WHOLE THING, BUT WHAT IT DOES IS, THIS AMENDMENT CREATES A WORKING GROUP OF SIGNATURE MATTER EXPERTS THAT CAN PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON TECHNOLOGY, MANY PROCURE MEANT AND VOUCHER METHODOLOGY. UP THERE ON THE SCREEN FOR EVERYONE, THIS WORKING GROUP BASICALLY WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS RESOLUTION, ADMINISTRATION SHALL CONVENE A HOUSING VOUCHER PROGRAM WORKING GROUP THAT IS STAFFED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HHH AND INCLUDES MEMBERS FROM CITY STAFF, NONPROFIT AGENCIES AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. THIS WORKING GROUP SHALL INCLUDE STAFF FROM THE FOLLOWING CITY DEPARTMENTS. ITS LISTED HERE. THESE ARE ALL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THAT WOULD HELP US COME WUM A GOOD VOUCHER PROGRAM TRANSPARENCY DEVICE, INCLUDING PROCUREMENT FOR SOFTWARE, WE WANT CITY LEGAL INVOLVED, WE WANT EPA INVOLVED, AND INCLUDE NONPROFIT AGENCIES INCLUDING TO, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEW MEXICO COALITION TO END HOMELESSNESS, BARRETT HOUSE, HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS, AND THIS WORKING GROUP SHALL PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND INPUT NECESSARY TO HELP THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS CARRY OUT THE DIRECTIVES OF THIS RESOLUTION. >> Coun. Bassan: WE HAVE A MOTION FOR A DO PASS. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR ROGERS. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I'M LOOKING FOR SOME CLARIFICATION, BECAUSE WE ALREADY PASSED A BILL TO CREATE A WORKING GROUP TO EXPLORE OPTIONS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE MOTEL VOUCHER PROGRAM WITHIN THE CITY, KNOWN AS THE HOSPITALITY INITIATIVE WORKING GROUP. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS MORE FOR PERMANENT VOUCHERS, BUT DO WE NEED TWO WORKING GROUPS IN. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN. THIS IS -- HOTEL VOUCHERS ARE DIFFERENT HOUSING VOUCHERS. WE DON'T WANT THIS TO DRAG OUT. WE WANT THIS OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. AND I ASK MS. STYLES TO EXPLAIN WHY WE BELIEVE THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, THIS WORKING GROUP WOULD BE WORKING WITH HOUSING VOUCHER PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE MOTEL VOUCHER PROGRAM. >> Coun. Peña: MADAM PRESIDENT, I THINK STAFF IS ASKING YOU TO SPEAK CLOSER TO THE MENTAL ILLNESS. >> EXCUSE ME. THIS WORKING GROUP WOULD WORK PRIMARILY ON THE HOUSING VOUCHERS AS WELL AS THE MOTEL VOUCHERS, ALMOST KIND OF A PHASE 2 OF THAT WORKING GROUP. A LOT OF THINGS CAME TO LIGHT DURING THE WORKINGS GROUP THROUGH THE MOTEL VOUCHERS, BUT ONE OF THE MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS WAS TO GET A SOFTWARE THAT ARE COULD WORK WITH THE MOTEL VOUCHERS TO MAKE THAT SYSTEM WORK A LITTLE MORE EASILY. BUT THE PRICE OF THE SOFTWARE OUT WEIGHED THE AMOUNT OF MOTEL VOUCHERS THE CITY CURRENTLY GIVES TO ORGANIZATIONS. SO THE IDEA OF THIS IS TO GET A HOUSING VOUCHER PROGRAM THAT O WOULD BE MORE REBUST, AND ALSO HELP TO REVITALIZE THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE FOR REGULAR HOUSING VOUCHERS. SO IT WOULD ENCOMPASS ALL OF THAT, AND THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED AFTER PROCESS, THE MOTEL VOUCHERS THEMSELVES. THIS WORKING GROUP WOULD GET INTO THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF THAT AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN ACTUALLY I AM PLEAMENT THE RECOMMENDATION FROM FIRST WORKING GROUP, AS WELL AS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE HOUSING VOUCHERS. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU. COIRVETION DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: I HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD. >> I HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD, COULD I HAVE. THIS IS GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON THE TECHNOLOGY AND HOW TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESSES TO INCLUDE TECHNOLOGY AND NOT 2 BE PAPER BASED AND E-MAIL BASED RIGHT NOW H I THINK THE DIFFERENCE FOR ME IS THIS SPECIFICALLY FOCUSES ON THE TECHNOLOGY NEEDED TO MAKE THIS POLICEMAN BETTER. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION. FOR THE RECORD, WE PASSED THAT ORIGINAL BILL IN FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A YEAR OF ADDITIONAL STUDYING AND WE WILL NOT HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD TO GET PEOPLE VOUCHERS THAT WORK AND GET THEM INTO HOUSING, AND I QUESTION THE NEED TO CONTINUE TO STUDY IT, RESEARCH, WORKING GROUP. I FEEL LIKE WE PROBABLY KNOW BY NOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO, WE ARE JUST NOT DOING IT, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US DO IT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT MORE. >> Coun. Grout: MADAM PRESIDENT, I DO AGREE WITH YOU, YES. I DO AGREE WITH YOU. BUT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE AT. OF. >> Coun. Bassan: I WILL SAY TWO THINGS. I THINK IT A, IT WOULD BE GREAT, I SEE IN HERE, IT DOES SAY, NOT LIMITED TO NONPROVIDE THE GROUPS. I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GET THEM INCLUDED, ESPECIALLY BEING THAT WE HAVE A VERY CONSISTENT STRONG ADVOCATE WITH EXPERIENCE WHO CAN WHEP SOME OF THAT GUIDANCE. BLUE THEN I ALSO HESITATE TO ADD MORE WORKING GROUPS, AND MORE STUDIES. I FEEL LIKE I'M RECRUITING MORE PEOPLE TO MY CAUSE, MAYBE, AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT. BUT IT IS NOT A TERRIBLE IDEA. I JUST AM GOING TO MAINTAIN MY CONSISTENCY. WITH THAT, COUNCILLOR GROUT TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Grout: I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: THIS IS AMENDMENT 1 TO R 109. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. ONE MORE TIME. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. I BELIEVE THAT THAT PASSES ON A 5-4 VOTE. MOVING ON, WE HAVE, I BELIEVE, EXPHOIR WITH AMENDMENT NUMBER 2. MANIES. >> Coun. Rogers: YES, THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. AMENDMENT NUMBER 2, LABELED B IN OUR PACKET. I AM REALLY GRATEFUL TO COUNCILLOR GROUT FOR FAKE BEING THE LEAD ON STARTING THIS, AND THIS IS PRETTY LONG AMENDMENT, AND REALLY ALL IT DOES IS IT ADDS THE DIFFERENCE ITS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT VOUCHERS THAT WE HAVE AT THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. SO FOR ME TO JUST LUMP IN ALL, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO PROVIDE EDUCATION ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF VOUCHERS WE ACTUALLY HAVE AT THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, AND SO WHAT THIS IS DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION TO SAY DO IS JUST THINK ABOUT THIS, IN THE HAD BUCKETS OF THE PROGRAM THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, MAKING SURE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SUPPORTIVE VOUCHERS, RAPID REHOUSING VOUCHERS, TRANSITIONAL HOUSING VOUCHER, MOTEL AND HOTEL VOUCHERS, AND PROJECT BASED SLOICHERS. THOSE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF VOUCHERS WE HAVE AT THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, AND I WOULD LIKE KNOW WHAT IS THE OUTLINED EXISTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AROUND EACH OF THOSE, THIS SPECIFIES FOR EACH OF VOUCHERS SO WE I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW WE ARE ADMINISTERING IT BEFORE WE CAN LOOK AT HOW TO IMPROVE IT. COIX DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? >> Coun. Grout: I DO HAVE A MOTION FOR A ARE DO PASTOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 22. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK A. THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT, FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 2, TO R 109. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IN ANYTHING FROM THE ADMINISTRATION? >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILORS, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COUNCILLOR ROGERS, YOU HAVE AMENDMENT NUMBER 3. >> Coun. Rogers: AMENDMENT NUMBER 33 LABELED C IN OUR PACKETS BEGINS ON PAGE 3, LINE 1, TO AMEND SECTION 2 S. THE FILE IS ON THE SCREEN. WE WANT THEM TO SUBMIT AND REPORT ON CURRENT PRACTICES, IN ADDITION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, FOR UPDATED PRACTICES PURSUANT TO SECTION ONE THAT WE JUST AMENDED AND THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE RESOLUTION. ALL REPORTS SHALL BE A A SEPARATE BREAK DOWN OF EACH INFORMATION FOR EACH VOUCHER TYPE. IT IS JUST A COMPLIMENT TO THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO MAKE SURE WE UPDATE THAT WE WANT THAT BROKEN DOWN FOR ALL VOUCHER TYPES. AND I MOVE FOR A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR GROUT FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 3. COUNCILORS NIRKS QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MANY ALL RIGHT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS. >> Coun. Rogers: URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: CAN BE. >> Coun. Bassan: FAIMPLET ALL OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COUNCILLOR ROGERS, AMENDMENT NUMBER 4. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU HAD MADAM PRESIDENT. AMENDMENT NUMBER 4 IS ON PAGE 3, LINE 6, ADDING A NEW SECTION, 3, AM I ASKED FOR THIS BEFORE DIRECTLY TO THE ADMINISTRATION, AND THE DIRECTOR, THEMSELVES. WAITED EIGHT MONTHS. HAVEN'T SEEN IT, SO I'M DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION, OR HHH, TO WORK WITH ALBUQUERQUE COMMUNITY SAFETY TO DEVELOP A PROCESS TO ALLOW ACS TO DIRECTLY ADMINISTER HOTEL VOUCHERS TO UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS THEY ARE RESPONDING TO. THIS IS A DIRECT RESPONSE TO CONSTITUENTS SAYING, ACS RESPONDS AND THEY DON'T WANT TO GO THE GATEWAY WEST, THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS AND SO OFTEN FOLKS ARE LEFT IN THE POSITION THAT THEY ARE IN. AND SO I THINK IT WOULD BE -- BEHOOVE US TO GIVE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONDING TO UNSHELTERED THE POWER TO HOUSE THEM, AT WHICH TIME OUR POWERS THAT HHH CONTRACT WITH CAN COME IN AND GET THEM INTO ONE OF THE OTHER HOUSING VOUCHERS WHO POSSIBLY. I URGE FOR YOUR DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR AMENDMENT 234U678 TO R 109. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR BACA. FIRST I'M GOING TO GO TO THE ADMINISTRATION. DR. SINGLE. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I JUST WANTED TO ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY, BASED ON THIS SPECIFIC LANGUAGE, TO SPEAK TO THE WAY THIS IS WORDED. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT ACS AND H HRVETLEH WORK HANDICAPPED IN HAND EVER DAY, ALL DAY, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER DEPARTMENTS, AND I WANT TO ASK THE CITY FOREIGN TO WEIGH IN ON THIS ISSUE. MS. KEITH. >> THANK YOU. THERE ARE SOME SEPARATION POWERS CONCERN IN THIS AMENDMENT IN PARTICULAR THE MAYOR IS ALLOWED TO ORGANIZE THE GOVERNMENT, AND THAT INCLUDES DECIDING WHICH DEPARTMENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE R THESE KIND OF TASKS, SO THIS IS VERY SPECIFIC AS TO WHICH DEPARTMENT SHOULD DO WHAT. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU, DR. SINGLE, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO 230U78 ON? OKAY. COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I JUST WANTED AND POINT OF CLARIFICATION. THIS AMENDMENT IS DIRECTS OR ALLOWING ACS IS GO H. GIVE OUT THESE VOUCHERS. WHAT IS THE CURRENTS PROCESS, THEN? IF ACS ISN'T DOING IT I THINK I HAVE A PROCESS -- IDEA OF WHAT THE PROCESS IS, BUT THERE IS A LOT OF CONFUSION. IS THE PROCESS BEING FOLLOWED, OR DONE? IS THERE A DROP SOMEWHERE? >> COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, THE WAY THE PROCESS WORKS, THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE CONTRACTS WITH I BELIEVE MANY FOUR PROVIDERS THAT ARE HANDS OUT THE VOUCHERS T ACS COORDINATES WITH THEM. IF THIS AMENDMENT EXASES, WE'RE SLEEPINGSLY HAVING TO MOVE FUNDS FROM THESE PROVIDERS AND GIVE THEM TO HAVE ACS. SO UNLESS WE HAVE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT WE ARE PLANNING TO GIVE ACS TO HAND OUT HOTEL VOUCHERS THIS FRANKLY 3R0B LEGAL MAT I CAN. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, ARE FOR THAT INFORMATION, BUT THAT HE WAS NOT REALLY WHAT I'M CONVERSATION. IF ACS COMES OUT TO ME AND I'M A 40E78 LESS PERSON, WHAT DOES ACS SAY? AND I SAY, I WANT A VOUCHER, I WANT TO FIND HOUSING. I WANT SHELL FATHER, WHAT DOES ACS DO? >> SO MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, WHAT HAPPENS IS, THEY TALK TO THEM. IF YOU TAKE THEM TYPICALLY FIRST RESPONDERS, TO CHECK THEM INTO THE SYSTEM, THEN THEY DETERMINE TO TAKE THEM TO GATEWAY WEST, AND WORK WITH ONE OF THE BROTHERS TO GET NEEM A HOTEL. >> Coun. Champine: WHEN YOU SAY TYPICAL, WHAT'S UNTYPICAL? >> IF THEY REFUSE SERVICES -- IF THEY ARE ASKING FOR SERVICE, THAT'S WHAT ACS IS SAYS, BUT MOST OF THE TIME, FRANKLY, THEY DECLINE SERVICES. >> Coun. Champine: IF I DIDN'T DECLINE, YOU WOULD TAKE ME TO GATEWAY? >> I WOULD TAKE YOU TO GATEWAY CENTER, MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, YOU WOULD GO TO ONE FIRST RESPONDERS AND GET PROCESSED AND THEN IT IS DETERMINED WHETHER YOU QUESTION TO GATEWAY WEST OR WORK WITH ONE OF THE PROVIDERS, DEPENDING ON YOUR SITUATION AND WHERE YOU QUALIFY WITH THOSE HOTEL VOUCHERS. >> Coun. Champine: MADAM PRESIDENT, SO IT WOULD IN MY SITUATION, OR WHERE I STAND, IT WOULD DETERMINE WHERE I GO, GATEWAY WEST OR DIRECTLY INTO A HOUSE OG VOUCHER, AND FINANCE A VOUCH CERTIFICATE A HANDED TO ME IMMEDIATELY, I GO OFF TO APPLY; R. IS THAT CORRECT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, BEER TALKING ABOUT OF HOTEL VOIMPSZ, THE HOUSING VOICHERS ARE DIFFERENT. >> Coun. Champine: HOW DOES THAT WORK. >> TYPICALLY WEEK PROCESS PEOPLE THROUGH GATEWAY WEST INTO THE HOUSING NAVIGATION CENTER AT GATEWAY CENTER, AND THEN FROM THERE, WE WORK WITH YOU ONCE YOU FIND A PARTICULAR HOUSING VOUCHER. >> Coun. Champine: SO I WOULD GO TO GATEWAY WEST, AND SOME SORT OF SERVICE BROTHER WOULD CONTACT ME AND SAY, WE UNDERSTANDS YOU WANT HOUSING VOUCHER, LET'S AS A RESULT THAT PROCESS? >> WE DO HAVE, MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, DO WE HAVE THE HOUSING CENTER WHERE PEOPLE WOULD GO FIRST, SO YOU START AT GATEWAY WEST, GO TO THE NAVIGATION CENTER AND GATEWAY CENTER TO HELP TO TRANSITION KNEW A HOUSING VOUCHER. >> Coun. Bassan: I THINK DR. SINGLE WANTS TO ADD INTO THAT. >> YES, PLEASE. MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, THIS IS ACTUALLY EXACTLY WHY WE FIND OURSELVES OUT OF HOUSING VOUCHERS AND MOTEL VOUCHERS AND THEY GET CROSSWISE ALL THE TIME. I WANT TO BE CLEAR. THE HOTEL VOUCHERS, WHAT MS. MARTINEZ IS SAYING, IT IS TRUE. AT NIGHT, WHEN WEAVED FIRST RESPONDER DROP OFF AVAILABLE, OR WHEN THERE IS NO PROVIDER BROKING WITH US AT THE TIME, WE AGREE FIRST RESPONDER DROP OFF, WE MAKE SURE PEOPLE GET PROCESSED, WE WORK TSH KNOWS MANY PARTNERS ARE ISSUING MOTEL VOUCHERS, AND TRIAGE WHETHER OR NOT THE INDIVIDUALS ARE QUALIFIED INTO THE ME TELL VOUCHER SYSTEM. SOME OF THESE MOTEL VOUCHERS, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE PRIORITIZED FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND THE PRIORITIZATION HAS OCCURRED. IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS ELIGIBLE, THEN THE PROVIDER BECOMES THEIR CASE MANAGER AND WORKS WITH THEM AND PUTS THEM IN A HOTEL AND WORKS WITH THEM WHILE THEY ARE IN THE HOTEL, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE SUPPORT IN THE HOTEL. THAT'S THE KEY ISSUE WHY THOSE PROVIDERS ARE ENGAGED. THEY HAVE CASE MANAGEMENT CAPACITY AND STAFF TO WORK WITH AN INDIVIDUAL THAT RECEIVED THE MOTEL VOUCHER WHILE THEY ARE STAYING IN THAT MOTEL. THE REASONABLE THAT THE DISCUSSION ABOUT, ACS DOES NOT HAVE OF THAT CASE MANAGEMENT CAPACITY TO FOLLOW SOMEONE ONCE IN OTHER WORDS THAT MOTEL AND KEEP UP ENSURING THAT THEY ARE RECEIVING THOSE SUPPORT SERVICES. THEY ARE A FIRST O RESPONDEDDER FIRST AND THEY DON'T TYPICALLY DO THAT WORK. THEY HAVE A VERY TINY CREW THAT DOES ANY OF THAT WORK. MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR CHAMPINE, IT IS TRANSPORT, IT IS FIRST SPNDER FIPT ACTIONS, THEY MAY FOLLOW-UP AFTER THEY HAVE AN INTERACTION WITH SOMEONE NEW, IF THEY ARE ASKING FOR SUPPORT, BUT THAT IS INTENDED TO REFER INDIVIDUALS TO A PROVIDER THAT HAS CASE MANAGEMENT CAPACITY. >> Coun. Champine: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEMATIC LANGUAGE IS THAT IN HAD THIS PROPOSAL, HHH IS DIRECTED TO WORK WITH ANOTHER DEPARTMENT, AND LET'S SEE IF ANOTHER APPROACH WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IF IT WERE TO SAY TO DIRECT THE OF ADMINISTRATION TO DIRECT THE DISTRIBUTION OF VOUCH CERTIFICATES VIA ACS AND INCLUDE THAT UNTIL THE NEXT BUDGET IF IT IS FEASIBLE, THAT WOULD NOT BE PROBLEMATIC. IS THAT CORRECT? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, I WOULD AGREE. TO ANALYZE AND LOOK AT IT AND MAKE A PROPOSAL, I THINK THAT WOULD NOT BE BEING PROBLEMATIC. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO AMEND IT TO SAY OF THEEL; WOULD WOULD LIKE TO ANALYZE THE POSSIBILITY -- W45ES THE CORRECT LANGUAGE HERE TO MAKE IT PALATABLE FOR THE SEPARATION OF POWERS? >> Coun. Bassan: DOES COUNSEL STAFF HAVE ANY -- COUNCILLOR PEÑA, WHILE ANOTHER WORKING ON THAT. >> Coun. Peña: MADAM PRESIDENT, I WANTED TO ASK OUR COUNCIL STAFF, JULIA, DO YOU AGREE WITH THE SEPARATION OF POWERS, AND IF YOU DON'T, VIAL ANOTHER QUESTION. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR PEÑA, I CAN SEE THAT INTERPRETATION IN THE SEPARATION OF POWERS. WE CAN DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT TO DO SPECIFIC THINGS, AND ELIMINATE THE ISSUE BY MODIFYING THE LANGUAGE AS COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN SUGGESTED, AND WE DO HAVE IT 3U8D UP HERE, IF THAT'S THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL. >> Coun. Peña: SO MADAM PRESIDENT, MY FOOL UP TO THE QUESTION, I LIKE COUNCILLOR ROGERS'S AMENDMENT. I THINK WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING HERE IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, AND AS JULIA STATED, WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE THESE INSTANCES WHERE WE HAVE THE 13R5EUGS OF POWER, SO IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE. SO IF WE PASS THIS WITHOUT AMENDING IF TO SAY, LOOK AT IT HOW DOES THAT EFFECT EVERYTHING? IS IT SOMETHING WE PASS? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR PEÑA, I THINK THE WAY THAT ARE IT IS WRITTEN, IT IS DIRECTING TO DEVELOP A PROCESS THAT WOULD ABOUT ALLOW, SPECIFICALLY ALLOW ACS TO DO THESE TYPE OF VOUCHERS. SO IF WE WANTED TO LIGHTEN IT, WOULD REQUIRE JUST MODIFYING THAT LANGUAGE, SLIGHTLY. >> Coun. Peña: MADAM PRESIDENT, CORRECT. I'M JUST SAYING IF WE PASS IT AS IS. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, QOIP, HAD I DEVELOPING A PROJECT (INAUDIBLE). >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I THINK THE POINT OF THIS IS TO EXPLORE IDEAS AND TO IMPROVE OUR PROCESSES. SO TO AVOID, I THINK WE SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING TO MAKE THE AMENDMENT SAY, WE WANT TO EXPLORE A PROCESS THAT WOULD ALLOW ACS TO -- AND I APPRECIATE COUNCILLOR PEÑA, I DEFINITELY AM TOP PUSH THE ENVELOPE AND PUSH THINGS. BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT I NEED ACS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO BOTH DIRECTORS. I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO THE MAYOR ABOUT THIS. WE DO HAVE CORRESPONDERS IN ACS THAT ARE WEATHER SERVING AS KIND OF CASE MANAGERS, WE ARE ALREADY EXPLORING HOW DO WE BILL FOR CASE MANAGEMENT FOR OUR CORRESPONDERS. I'VE ALREADY HAD A CONVERSATION WHERE THE ADMINISTRATION ON HOW WE DO THIS. BOTH DEPARTMENTS ARE ON BOARD FOR FIGURING THAT OUT. RIGHT NOW, THE PROCESS IS, AND WE HAVE OUTLINED WHAT ARE THE PROCESS SHOULD BE, AN AND I HAVE TAKEN PEOPLE DIRECTLY TO OUT GATE TIE GET THEM HELP, AND IT DOESN'T WORK THASH WAY, YET. I KNOW WE ARE TRYING TO CONNECT THE DOTS, BUT MY DISTRICT IS SUFFERING,? A. WE NEED OF BOLD SOLUTIONS THAT ALLOW THE FOLKS WHO ARE ALREADY RESPONDING, WHO HAVE BUILT THE TRUST IN UNSHELTERED COMMUNITY TO GET THEM TO A PLACE. SO I THINK I WOULD POLICE OFFICER TO UPDATE EL PASO THAT TO SAY, YOU'VE ALREADY SAID OBJECTION PROPER PROCESS, SO WE CAN GET TO SOLUTIONS. AND ALL WE ARE ASKING IS FOR YOU TO GIVE US SOME IDEAS. I'M NOT SAYING WE ARE PASSING THIS RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I AM GOING BE LOOKING TO DO THIS IN HAD THE BUMPING PROCESS AND I WANT MY COLLEAGUES 20S SUPPORT THERE ARE IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCILLOR ROGERS, ARE YOU WANT TO GO CHANGE THE VERBIAGE OF THAT YOUR AMENDMENT THEN? >> Coun. Rogers: YES, MADAM PRESIDENT. I'M FINE WITH DEVELOPING AN UPDATE. CHANGE DEVELOP TO EXPLORE IT AND DIRECT A RESPONSE TO OUR ADMINISTRATION THAT IS CONCERNED ABOUT A SEPARATION OF POWERS. >> Coun. Bassan: I'M BEGINNING TO GO TO DR. SENDING L AND THEN COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT P AND COUNCILLOR ROGERS, FOLLOWING ON WHAT COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN STATED, WE WERE JUST TRYING TO RIGHT WHAT WAS SID. OUR ASK IS THAT IT WOULD SAY THE ADMINISTRATION SHALL EXPLORE AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW ACS CAN WORK TOGETHER TO ALLOW ACS TO DIRECTLY ADMINISTER HOTEL VOUCHERS, AND I THINK THAT PUTS US IN A POSITION THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE BRINGING A RECOMMENDATION. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. SO WHAT IRE ASKING, JUST TO CLARIFY, IS NOT TO DIRECT H HSSMENTSH TO DO ANYTHING, BUT DIRECT THE ADMINISTRATION TO WORK WITH HHH AND ACS? >> Coun. Bassan: BEFORE WE AMEND THAT, LET'S GO TO COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN REAL QUICK. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: MADAM PRESIDENT, AT YOUR REQUEST, THE OF ADMINISTRATION SHALL -- SORRY. I WROTE IT AND THEN I DIDN'T WRITE IT ALL OUT. ADMINISTRATION SHALL WROWRK WITH HHH AND ALBUQUERQUE COMMUNITY SAFETY TO EXPLORE AND PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION FOR FOR RLINGS ACS MAY HE HAVE DELIVER HOTEL VOUCHERS TO HOUSED AND UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS. >> MACH, TO CHANGE AT THE BEGINNING, INSTEAD OF DIRECTED, USE SHALL WORK WITH. >> Coun. Bassan: SO FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, I WILL MAKE SURE WE VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL AMENDMENT AND THEN DO THAT, THAT IT BELONGED TO THE BODY. WE HAVE ALREADY HE WILL BANKED ON THIS AND WE WILL CONTINUE ON, BUT DOES THIS LOOK APPROPRIATE TO YOU, COUNCILLOR ROGERS? IT IS YOUR AMENDMENT. >> Coun. Rogers: YES, MADAM PRESIDENT, I CAN MOVE FORWARD THIS AMENDMENT. >> Coun. Bassan: IT SAYS, THE ADMINISTRATION SHALL WORK WITH HHH AND ALBUQUERQUE COMMUNITY SAFETIES IT EXPLORE AND PROPOSAL PROCESS TO DIRECTLY ADMINISTER MOTEL, HOTEL VOUCHERS -- WAIT. MOTEL AND HOTEL VOUCHERS TO UNHOUSED MUCH INDIVIDUALS. AND COUNCILLOR GROUT, YOU'RE OKAY WITH THIS? YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SECONDED T OKAY. COUNCILORS, ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IN I'LL TAKE THAT A CLOSE, THEN. WE WERE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 4. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED? THAT PASSES ON A AN 8. COUNCILLOR ROGERS, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL OR NO? THE ONLY THING I SHOW LEFT IS A FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. SUBSTITUTE THAT I DON'T THINK WE ARE MOVING. >> Coun. Rogers: NO, I'M NOT GOING TO MOVE THE FLOOR AMENDMENT, BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUE IS OKAY REQUEST MY ADDING MY NAME 20 THE BILL, AND I DON'T KNOW IF PROCEDURALLY WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO DO THAT. >> Coun. Bassan: NO, THE CLERK IS OKAY WITH DOING THAT, AS LONG AS THE CLERK IS OKAY WITH IT. COUNCILLOR ROGERS, ANY OTHER AMENDMENTS ON THIS BILL? >> Coun. Rogers: NO. COIBTS OKAY. THEN WE ARE BACK ON THE BILL AS AMENDED. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH ME, TOO. I APPRECIATE YOU. THESE COMMENTS THAT WE HEARD FROM THESE FOLKS TONIGHT ARE EXACTLY WHY WE NEED TO DO THIS. BECAUSE IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WE HAVE GOOD INTENTION ITS, BUT OUR INTENTIONS NEED TO BE BETTER. SO SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FINDING A LANDLORD THAT'S ACCEPTING HOUSING VOUCHERS. THAT NEEDS DOCUMENT ADDED TO THIS. ALL OF THE THINGS. WE JUST NEED TO BE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT, AND WE NEED TO BE TRANSPARENT. I CAN'T SAY THAT ENOUGH. WE ARE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY, BUT I DON'T THINK WE ARE TOGETHER EVERYTHING. AND I I AM HOPEFUL THIS WILL GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE DIRECTION, AND WE WILL ABLE TO SEE SOME RESULTS. AND I WANT TO SEE OUTCOMES. I WANT TO SEE THAT WE HAVE GOT PEOPLE IN GOOD PLACES AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY GET ACT JOB AND BETTERING THEMSELVES AND NOT SO DEPEND AND THE ON THE ALL THE DIFFERENT AVENUES THAT THEY ARE STRONGLY SUPPORTING GO TO, AND THEY CAN BE CONTENT AND HAVE A LITTLE MORE HELP. THANK YOU, I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: THE MOTION IS FATHER A DO PASS ON R 109 AS AMENDED. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED? ANYBODY? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING OBJECT TO AGENDA ITEM D, COUNCILLOR BACA, R 111. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU; MADAM PRESIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW R 111. >> Coun. Bassan: ALL RIGHT NO, NEED TO WITHDRAW. THERE WAS NO MOTION. SO WE ARE MOVING ON TO OTHER BUSINESS. EC-292 IS THE LINE ITEM VETO OF R 24-106. I APOLOGIZE, THERE IS A MOTION FOR WITHDRAW. IS THERE A SNICKED SECOND FROM COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE WITHDRAWAL OF R 111. PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AND SEE YES. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY, NOW MOVING ON TO OTHER BUSINESS. EC-292 IS THE LINE ITEM VETO OFF R 24-106, ADJUSTING 2024 APPROPRIATIONS TO PROVIDE FOR ACTUAL EXPENDITURES AND ADJUSTING 2025 OPERATING AND GRANT APPROPRIATION HE IS. IF THE COUNCIL WISHES TO ATTEMPT AN OVER SIDE OF THE MAYOR'S VETO. NO MOTION IS MADE, OR THE SECOND IS NOT RECEIVED, THE MAYOR'S SCREE TO STANDS A BUT IF SIX VOTES ARE NOT OBTAINED IN FAVOR OF THE OVER VIEWED. THE MAYOR'S REFOE STANDS STLSM A MOTION TO OVERRIDE? >> Coun. Rogers: MA'AM, I MAKE A MOTION TO OVERRIDE. >> Coun. Bassan: AND COUNCILLOR ROGERS, I BELIEVE WE NEED A SPECIFIC. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT LINE ITEM VETOES, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU LIKE TO OVERRIDE? >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO OVERRIDE THE MAYOR'S VETO OF THE DEFUNDING OF THE POSITION IN AD. >> Coun. Bassan: AND THERE IS A SECOND? THERE IS A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR BACA. COUNCILORS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT. IN READING THE MAYOR'S MEMO REGARDING THE VETO, I BELIEVE IT IS FIRMLY WITHIN THE COUNCIL'S RIGHTS TO MAKE BUDGET DECISIONS FOR THE CITY FOR ANY REASON, OR NO REASON AT ALL. SUPREME COURT HAS CRATED THAT THIS IS NOT AN AN INQUIRE DELAY SHOULD BE MADE BY THE COURT. NOW, TECHNIQUE LIKE AS I HAVE LEARNED, THIS IS A DECISION LIMITED TO THE LIABILITY OF A COUNCILOR IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY FOR LEGISLATIVE ACTS. IN FEDERAL COURT IN 1983. SO I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY WITHIN OUR PURVIEW TO MAKE BUDGETARY DECISIONS, AND THAT IS WHAT I'VE DONE IN THIS PARTICULAR, WHAT WE HAVE DONE AS A BODY WITH THIS PARTICULAR EDIT TO OUR END OF YEAR CLEAN UP. ALSO IN THE VETO MEMO, IT SPOKE TO A POSSIBLE WORK ENVIRONMENT. IT IS HARD FOR IT TO BE A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT WHEN APD'S CHIEF OR THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS DOES NOT ATTEND OUR MEEGHTS. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS A WHO IS AN TILE WORK ENVIRONMENT WHEN THEY DON'T ATTEND THE ENVIRONMENT SO I I BELIEVER YOUR SUPPORT TO UPHOLD WHEN WE ALREADY PASSED AS THIS BODY MUCH THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? JUST TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CLEAR, AND ?ROAT FAVOR WILL SHALL A VOTE TO OVERRIDE THE MAYOR'S VETO OF THE PARTICULAR LINE ITEM FOR IF THE APD FOUNDING THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING RATE NOW. SO THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE OVERRIDES OF THAT PARTICULAR LIKE ITEM VETO, RAISE YOUR HAPPENED AND SAY YES. AND THOSE OPPOSED. SO THAT IS OVERRIDEN 6-3. IS THERE ANY OTHER MOTION TO OVERRIDE THE OTHER LINE ITEM VETO? ALL RIGHT, SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE WILL MOVE ON TO FINAL ACTIONS. COUNCILLOR PEÑA, R-114. >> Coun. Peña: R-114 IS THE OPERATING AND GRANT APPROPRIATIONS. I MOVE A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN. FOR R 114. COUNCILLOR GROUT, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SOME AMENDMENTS. FIRST, COUNCILLOR PEÑA, IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN. >> Coun. Peña: IF YOU CAN GO TO COUNCILLOR GROUT, I MISPLACED MY PAPERS. >> Coun. Grout: YES, MADAM PRESIDENT. BASE OF THE EC-25-292, IT WOULD REMOVED THE RESERVE OF $250,000. I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 1 TO R 25-114, WHICH WILL -- EC-292 REMOVES THE RESERVE OF $250,000 FOR THE PUBLIC FACING DARK BOARD FOR THE HHH WITHIN FUND 265 IN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM. THIS AMENDMENT AN STORES THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE ORIGINAL BILL OF 265 FOR THE REPAID RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAM. IT ALSO ALLOCATES FROM FUNDING FROM DPI TO HHH IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FUNDING IN THE DEPARTMENT FOR THE PUBLIC FACING DASHBOARD FOCUSING ON THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INITIATIVE. I DID SPEAK WITH THE MAYOR. HE LET ME KNOW WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO. AND SO IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT HE SEES, AND WHAT HE THINKS, AND HE SAID, WE CAN FIND THE MONEY IN DCI, SO LET'S FINDS IT THERE. SO THAT'S WHERE THIS COMES HOW LONG DOES THAT TAKE SO THIS IS MY AMENDMENT THAT I'D LIKE TO OFFER. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 1. HAVE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS COUNCILORS? >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, 3457. I'M VERY INTERESTED TO THEY'RE THE MAYOR WANTED THIS TO COME FROM DPI. I'D LIKE TO ASK THE ADMINISTRATION WHAT WE ARE GIVING UP IN DPI TO TRANSFER THESE FUNDS. >> Coun. Bassan: DR. SINGLE. >> OF MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, AT THIS POINT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE GIVE UP. WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT DPI AND LOOK AT THEIR BUDGET AND SEE WHERE THEY HAVE SOME SAVINGS. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. DR. SINGLE, CAN YOU ANSWER THAT? IF THE MAYOR PULLED IT OUT TO TAKE IT FROM THERE, I WOULD ASSUME THERE IS A PLAN AND I WOULD VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT THAT PLAN IS, BECAUSE DCI IS VERY REFUNDED, WE HAVE TAKEN FUNDING FROM THEM EVERY WE ARE YEAR, AND WE HAVE THE TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY AND THE WORK THAT THEY DO IS VITAL TO THE CITY. SO WHAT WAS THE MAYOR'S PLAN? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, I WASN'T PRIVY TO THE CONVERSATION, SO I CAN ONLY SUR FEES THAT AT THIS POINT HAD THE PROGRAMMERS AND OTHER TALENT IN-HOUSE, AS WELL AS I CAN'T SPEAK FOR WHAT WAS SAID, I KNOW FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I WOULD ASSUME WE HAVE WOULD BE DETERMINE GO FROM WITHIN DTI FOR US TO DEAL WITH, AND OBVIOUSLY COME BACK AND EXPLAIN HOW WE WILL BE DOING THIS, AND THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT IS WE DON'T DISAGREE. WE DON'T DISAGREE THAT HAVING A DASHBOARD WITH TRANSPARENCY FOR THE COMMUNITY ABOUT TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION AS STATED, WE SEE VALUE IN THAT. SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THE ANSWER IS ACCURATE. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS SITUATION AND PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION BACK TO YOU ALL AS TO EXACTLY HOW WE ARE GOING TO NORMAL. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: SO YOU'RE NOT SAYING DCI WOULD DEVELOP THE DASHBOARD, WE ARE TAKING $250,000 OUT OF THE DTI BUDGET AND PUTTING IT INTO HHH. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS AMENDMENT. AND SO AM I MISUNDERSTANDING IT? >> WE ARE TAKING ONE QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS FROM DTI AND GIVING IT TO HHH. >> Coun. Rogers: MY QUESTION IS, THEY GIVING UP? I AGREE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT TAKES THAT MUCH TO DO A DASHBOARD, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY, AND OUR CITY, BY DTI, ARE PRETTY DARN IMPORTANT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO STAND BY MY ANSWER, WHICH IS, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO EXACTLY WHAT WILL BE EFFECTED DIRECTLY BY THIS. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: ONE MORE QUESTION, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE SPONSOR IN HER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MAYOR, WAS IT MADE CLEAR WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GET THIS MONEY FROM DTI OR DID HE JUST SAY, TAKE IT? HAD. >> Coun. Rogers: HE SAID HE AGREED THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WE NEED AND WE COULD LOOK AT DTI AND MAKE IT HA OF. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR PEÑA TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Peña: I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: THE AMENDMENT IS NUMBER ONE. THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OF COUNCILLOR GROUT, AMENDMENT NUMBER 28 TO 114. QIG THANK YOU. MANY FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 TO 114. I'D LIKE TO ADD ON PAGE 1, AFTER LINE 24, BEGIN A NEW SECTION FOOLS. THE AMOUNT OF $600,000 IS HERE BY REDISERVED IN FILE 305, ACTIVITY 330 FOR THE EAST WAY GATEWAY CENTRAL SIGN AND WRIGHT. THIS CREATES A RESERVE, FOR TOTAL OF IT $600,000, TO BE USED FOR THE EAST WAY CENTRAL SIGN AND LIGHTING PROJECT. AND I UMPLE CAN A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: STLTS IS THERE THERE IS A MOTION. IS THERE A MOTION AND A SECOND? THANK YOU COUNCILOR LEWIS. SHANA. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: SO I DEFINITELY WANT SIGNAGE ON EAST CENTRAL, BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE VERY LITTLE MONEY FLEFT MISCELLANEOUS THIS AND WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE MMR, AND FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT, THE ONLY MR THAT THE ADMINISTRATION CARES ABOUT ARE THE ONES ON CENTRAL, AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE MONDAY FOR THE NONCENTRAL MR'S TO DO SOMETHING. WE ARE NOT EVEN GOING TO MENTION THE MR IN THE AND YOU'LL ROART. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE KEEP THE MONEY IN THE MISCELLANEOUS FOUND DOING? THE NONCENTRAL MR. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: HAD COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO TUESDAY WHERE THIS MONEY IS APPROPRIATED? >> COUNCIL VICE-PRESIDENT PENA, COUNCILLOR GROUT, FORGIVE ME, I'M FIGHTING A COLD, THIS IS FROM THE 2019 GO BOND FOR MRA. THERE IS A QURPT RESERVE OF $488,000 FOR THIS PROJECT. THIS IS TAKING ABOUT $100,000, $112,000 OUT OF THE APPROXIMATELY $250,000 LEFT IN THE FINANCIAL STATUS REPORT OF THE MR-19, TOO MAKE THE TOTAL RESERVE A $600,000 RESERVE. SO THERE IS STILL FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR 19, 21:00 AND 23, AND WE ARE GETTING THE 25 GO BOND PROGRAM COMING UP THIS YEAR. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK HAD YOU. THAT EXPLAINS A LITTLE BIT WHO ARE. >> IT EXPLAINS WE ARE TAKING $112,000 OUT OF A VERY SMALL FUND, BUT THAT'S ONLY FUND THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR MR'S. AGAIN, WOULD I APPRECIATE IF WE KEPT SOME MONEY IN THERE FOR NONCENTRAL M RMPLET THAT'S HAVE GOTTEN ZERO FUNDING AND ZERO OWE ATTENTION AND NOT EVEN NOTICED OR MENTIONED IN THE ANNUAL M R REPORT. SO YOU HAVE A SET ASIDE FOR SOME OF THAT, AND I THINK THAT PLANNING WITHOUT TAKING THE ADDITIONAL 112 FROM THE FUND. HAD. >> Coun. Bassan: CAN YOU TELL US HOW MUCH IS LEFT IN THERE? IS IT. >> IS THIS MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, AS I GET TO THE MR PAGE, ADDITIONALLY, THIS FUNDING IS GOING TO MATCH ONE TO ONE TO A STATE TOURISM GROUND OF $328,800. SO CURRENTLY IN THE FSR, WE WOULD BE TAKING 112 OF 258, THERE IS $81,000 AND THERE IS $4,634,000 ENVELOPE THE MRA MISCELLANEOUS ACCOUNT. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> Coun. Grout: I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: WE ARE ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 TO R-114. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSES ON A 7-2. ARE THERE ANY OTHER AMENDMENTS TO R-114? COUNCILLOR PEÑA, BACK TO YOU TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Peña: I WOULD URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: THOSE IN FAVOR OF R-114 AS AMENDED RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY YES. ANYONE OPPOSED? THAT PASSES ON A 9-0 VOTE. COUNCILLOR GROUT WITH M-3. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. M-3 IS REQUESTING A STATE SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PILOT PROGRAMMING TO ESTABLISH A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HOUSING RESOURCE DASHBOARD, AND I MOVE A DO PASS. >> Coun. Bassan: THERE IS A MOTION FOR A DO PASS AND A SECOND BY COUNCILOR CHAMPINE. COUNCILLOR GROUT. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THIS REQUEST GREW OUT OF A CONVERSATION THAT COUNCILOR CHAMPINE AND I HAD WITH A GROUP OF OUR STATE LEGISLATORS LAST MONTH. WE TALKED ABOUT THE NEED FOR ONE CENTRALIZED PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO TO FIND RECOVERY BED FOR FATHER-IN-LAW HEALTH OR ADDICTION SERVICES. COUNCIL HAS HAS BEEN TALKING TO O O HHH ABOUT A DASHBOARD FOR HOUSING VOUCHERS AND MOTEL VOUCHERS, AND IF THE TECHNOLOGY IS AVAILABLE. IF WE CAN PILOT A PROJECT LIKE THIS AT THE CITY LEVEL IT COULD GROW TO HELP THE ENTIRE STATE. AND FROM OUR CONVERSATION, OUR STATE ?OORS WERE IN THE ROOM WITH US, WE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL CONVERSATION, AND THEY ASKED US TO, THEY SAID, YOU GUYS NEED TO START IT IN ALBUQUERQUE AND THEN BRING IT UP TO SANTA FE. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON M-3? >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MA. I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THE CREATION OF THE DASHBOARD W THAT ON THE RECORD, BUT THE MEMBERS OF I.DDR THIS YEAR DECIDED TO UNDO YOU HAVE A HOW THEY DO REQUESTS LIKE THIS, AND DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THE PRIORITIES, AND THIS COUNCIL DID TO HAVE ONE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND THE NEXT ONE ON MY LIST WOULD CERTAINLY NOT BE A DASHBOARD. THERE WERE MANY PROJECTS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN OUR LIST OF SHARED PRIORITIES, BUT WE CHOSE NOT TO DO THAT, SO AGAIN, I DON'T THINK THIS RISES TO THE LEVEL OF NEED THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WHICH IS THE ONE THAT WE CHOSE TO MOVE FORWARD. SO I WON'T ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS. >> Coun. Bassan: THANK YOU, RS COUNCILLOR GROUT. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN, I RESPECT THAT, BUT THIS IS ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. WE HAVE A MAJOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUE IN OUR FIRST. AND ADDICTION ISSUES. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM. AND I THINK THAT A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH HOUSING, TOO. I THINK IT ALL WORKS TOGETHER. SO I UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT YOUR THOUGHTS ON, THAT I JUST DON'T THINK BEHAVIORAL HEALTH IS A BIG DEAL IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND -- I THINK IT IS JUST A BIG KNEEL OUR COMMUNITY AND WE NEED TO START SOMEWHERE. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: I AGREE BEHAVIORAL SHEL A SERIOUS FUNDING, BUT THIS IS NOT A VOTE FOR FATHER-IN-LAW HEALTH SERVICES THIS IS ESTABLISHING A DASHBOARD, WHICH I DO NOT THINK RISES TO THE STOP OF OUR NEEDS AS A CITY. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Bassan: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMEFNTS? >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. QUESTION ABOUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT $350,000. IS THAT BASED ON, WHAT'S THAT BASED ON? IS THAT ENOUGH? >> H. >> Coun. Grout: MS. STYLES, CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW YOU CAME ONE THAT ?UM. >> MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILLOR ROGERS, TALKING WITH AGENCIES THAT PROVIDE IPS AND DASH BOOZER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, WHEN WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE MOTEL VOUCHERS, IT LOOKED LIKE THE BALLPARK WAS 300 TWHOWDZ GET US A DASHBOARD JUST FOR MOTEL VOUCHERS. SO WE WANTED TO ALLOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH FUND TO GO HAVE A DASHBOARD THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE ROW BURKES AND DO MORE THINGS. SO THIS STILL HAS TO GET PRICED OUT MORE SPECIFICALLY, WHICH WOULD GO THROUGH OUR PROCUREMENT PROCESS, SHOW AMOUNT OF MONEY WOULD ALLOW US AT LEAST A GOOD STARTING POINT SO WE COULD GET A DASHBOARD LIKE THIS GOING, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER ON THIS AT THIS POINT. >> Coun. Rogers: IT TALKS ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HOUSING SERVICE. IS THIS ALSO TO MAP OUT WHAT TYPE OF HOUSING SERVICESES? NOT JUST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, BUT HOUSING SERVICES. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND COUNCILLOR ROGERS, THE IDEA IS THAT WE COULD FIND PARTICULAR FOLLOWING THAT WOULD WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY LUHO TO US INTEGRATE THESE TOGETHER. MAYBE THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ONE DASH BADDER ON ONE SIGHED SITE. FOR EXAMPLE, HOUSTON HAS THREE HOUSING DASHBOARDS ON THEIR WEBSITES THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY FOR HOUSING, BUT THREE DIFFERENT DASHBOARDS THAT SHOW DIFFERENT INFORMATION. SO WITHOUT HAVING EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE AGENCIES THAT PROVIDE. IT FOR THIS TYPE OF THING, I DON'T KNOW EXACT WHAT I THAT WOULD LOOK FOR. BUT THE BELIEF IS THAT WE WILL ABLE TO USE THE SYSTEMS THAT WE SLR IN PLACE IN ORDER TO MORE OR LESS TRANSITION INFORMATION THAT WE MAY ALREADY BE GETTING RS THROUGH A CENTRALIZED LOCATION WHERE SOMEBODY MAY BE ABLE TO GO. IT IS ALSO UNCLEAR THAT THE POINT IF IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING THAT WAS COMPLETELY DIGITIZED OR SOMETHING MANNED BY HUMAN BEINGS. SO THERE ARE A LOT OF UNKNOWNS THAT WOULD HAVE TO GET EXPLORED MORE BY HHH. BUT THERE ARE EXAMPLES WAREHOUSING AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ARE ADDRESSED TOGETHER, AND THEN THERE IS ALSO EXAMPLES, IN MASSACHUSETTS THAT, HAD DASH POORKSD AND HOUSTON HAS A DASHBOARD THAT I EVER OWN. THERE ARE DIFFERENT MODELS ACROSS THE NATION. BUT THERE ARE OVERLAPPING ISSUES AT SOME POINT, AND SO IT IS A BELIEF THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A CONTRACT WITH SOMEBODY WHO CAN DEVELOP SOFTWARE THAT ARE WOULD BE DO BOTH FOR OWS IS. >> Coun. Rogers: MADAM PRESIDENT, THE LAST QUESTION IS, TO COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN POINT IF WE PASS THIS, DOES THIS ADD ANOTHER OFF LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY FOR THE CITY? THAT IS MEMORIAL. THE OTHER WAS LIKE A PROCEDURAL QUESTION. >> Coun. Bassan: COIRKS I THINK THAT'S THE KEY, I WOULD DEFER TO THE STAFF FOR CONFIRMATION, BUT A MEMORIAL IS ITS OWNED KIND OF BILL. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY BEING ADDED TO ANY OF THE LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED AS A PRIORITY, ALTHOUGH ONE COULD CONSTRUE IT AS NOW BECOMING A DIFFERENT KIND OF THING. BUT IT IS ITS OWN KIND OF LEGISLATION THAT IS PASSED IN THE PAST, CORRECT? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILLOR ROGERS, THE MEMORIAL THAT WAS PASSED WOULD NOT PROHIBIT A MEMORIAL MOVING FORWARD. THIS ISN'T PROHIBITIVE. >> Coun. Bassan: COUNCIL LOWER, ANYTHING FURTHER? COUNCILLOR FIEBELKORN. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. JUST POINT BEING OUT, IT IS $250,000, PERHAPS IT NATION TO THE CITY, WE CAN PUT THAT IN DTI. >> Coun. Grout: I DO URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Bassan: IN THOSE IN FAVOR OF M 3, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ALL OPPOSED. THAT PASSINGS 8. BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. I FEEL
