I'M ALSO A BIG ADVOCATE OTHER THAN THE SECRETARY WITH THOSE DUTIES AND HELPING WITH EVENTS TO PUT ON EXPOS AND THINGS LIKE THAT JUST TO GET THE WORD OUT SO WE HAVE EXPOSURE OUT HERE IN THE EAST MOUNTAINS.

AND WE HOPE PEOPLE THAT HAVE CHILDREN WITH TYPE ONE WILL GET IN TOUCH WITH US AND SEE IF THEY'LL WE ABLE TO GO TO THE CAMP NEXT YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S CLOSED THIS YEAR. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, MA'AM. WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. >>COUN. SENA: I THINK COUNCILOR BORREGO HAS HER HAND UP. I'LL LEAVE IT TO HER. THANK YOU. >>COUN. BORREGO: I JUST WANTED TO THANK THESE LADIES FOR THEIR EFFORTS AND FOR KNOWING THE NUMBERS IN NEW MEXICO OF PEOPLE THAT ARE AFFECTED BY DIABETES. MY EX-HUSBAND HAD DIABETES AND IT WAS VERY SEVERE IN ADDITION TO OTHER ILLNESSES. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION AND BRINGING IT ALBUQUERQUE'S ATTENTION. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT DISEASE. I ALSO HAVE THIS DISEASE IN MY FAMILY. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS AUNTS AND UNCLES THAT HAVE HAD THIS DISEASE. I THINK IT'S A VERY DEBILITATING DISEASE. THANK YOU, ALL. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH HAVE HAVING US. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. WE APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. WE DO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU BACK IN PERSON, HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR. >> HOPEFULLY I'LL BE THERE. >>COUN. DAVIS: NEXT UP THE COUNCIL WANTS TO RECOGNIZE A PRESENTATION FROM DIRECTOR PIERCE REGARDING THE HOMELESS COORDINATING COUNSEL. DIRECTOR ARE YOU ON IN ONE OF THE ADMINISTRATION ROOMS? I SEE YOU POP-UP IN THE MAYOR'S CONFERENCE ROOM. DIRECTOR, THANK YOU FOR AGREEING TO DO THIS PRESENTATION. I THINK IT WAS A REQUEST OF THE COUNCILOR TO DO THAT. CAN YOU GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE? >> I SURE WILL. THANK YOU. HOMELESS COORDINATING COUNSEL AND I THINK THANKS FOR FORWARDING THAT. THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO CREATE THIS COUNSEL IN JUNE. THE MOU WAS SIGNED BY THE COUNTY, THE CITY AND UNM IN AUGUST AND STARTING AT THAT POINT THE COUNSEL MEETS EVERY TWO WEEKS. I PUT THE LINK IN THERE BECAUSE THIS FOLLOWS THE OPEN MEETING ACT AND ALL OF THE MEETING NOTES AND AGENDAS ARE ON THE LINK. SO, THE HOMELESS COORDINATING COUNSEL STRUCTURE BASED ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICES COORDINATING COUNSEL, I WANT TO REMIND FOLKS IT'S ADVISORY ONLY. THEY'RE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS AND ANY DECISION REGARDING THE CITY ORDINANCES OR MONEY WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO THIS COUNSEL AND ALSO BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WOULD GO BACK TO THE ABCGC. JUST A REMINDER, THERE ARE EIGHT MEMBERS ON THIS COORDINATING COUNSEL. THE MAYOR CHAIRS IT, AND VARIOUS MEMBERS. AND DR. MIKE RICHARDS ATTENDS. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS, THE COUNTY AND CITY COUNCILS WERE SELECTED BASED ON AREAS THAT WERE FOR PROPOSED SHELTERS AND THEIR AREAS WOULD HAVE HIGH INTEREST IN THIS DISCUSSION. NEXT SLIDE. SO, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS IN THE MOU WAS WE NEEDED TO HAVE AN OUTLINE FOR A COORDINATED FRAMEWORK. I BELIEVE YOU GOT IN YOUR PACKET, YOU DIDN'T GET IT TOO LONG BEFORE THE MEETING, YOU RECEIVED THE FRAMEWORK ON HOMELESSNESS. THIS WAS APPROVED BY THE HOMELESS COORDINATING COUNSEL LAST TUESDAY. I ALSO PUT IN THERE THAT MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS TALKING WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE DECISION MAKING BODIES REGARDING ANYTHING THAT IS COMING THROUGH AS WELL AS ANY RECOMMENDATIONS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO, IN THE FRAMEWORK, WHAT WAS AGREED UPON BY THE COUNCIL IS WE NEED TO LOOK AT AREAS, SERVICES, FACILITIES OUTREACH AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ADULTS AND YOUTH. EARLY ON, WE CREATED FIVE COMMITTEES FROM THAT AREA. THEY'RE CO-CHAIRED BY CITY, COUNTY, AND UNM. THIS FRAMEWORK, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER WAS, WAS APPROVED. THE NEXT FEW SLIDES I'M GOING TO GO OVER SOME OF THE FIVE COMMITTEES AND WHAT THEIR CHARGE IS. SO THE HOMELESS SERVICES COMMITTEE, YOU CAN SEE OUR THREE CO-CHAIRS. I WANT TO SAY FOR ALL OF THESE COMMITTEES THEY'RE MEETING EVERY TWO WEEKS. THEY'RE MEETING ON THE OFF WEEKS WHEN THE HOMELESS COUNCIL IS NOT MEETING, THESE COMMITTEEING ARE MEETING. THE PURPOSE FOR THIS COMMITTEE WAS TO IDENTIFY THE KEY NEEDS AND SERVICES AND HOW TO MINIMIZE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT. THE DETAILS ARE IN THE DOCUMENT WE SENT. ALL COMMITTEES IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND GAPS AND WHAT WERE THE HIGH IMPACT STRATEGIES. NEXT SLIDE. THE GATEWAY FACILITIES COMMITTEE, THOSE THREE CO-CHAIRS MR. REAL, COMMISSIONER O'MALLEY, AND TOM O'NEAL. THEY'RE IDENTIFYING GAP AND NEEDS AND SECURING THE LANDS AND FACILITIES FOR THAT SYSTEM. WE ARE VERY SPECIFIC AS WE TALK ABOUT THE SYSTEM. AND WE HAVE MANY HOMELESS PROVIDERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND THE GATEWAYS OR ANYTHING WE TO IS PART OF THIS GREATER NETWORK OF THE SYSTEM IS THAT EXISTS IN THE COMMUNITY. WE JUST HAVE GAPS IN THE SYSTEM WE NEED TO ADDRESS. COORDINATING STREET OUTREACH AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF MAKING THIS SYSTEM WORK. PEOPLE FROM THE CITY AND COUNTY AND UNM ARE THE CO-CHAIRS. THEY HAVE BEEN ON THEIR COMMITTEE, THEY HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT DO STREET OUTREACH. THEY'RE MEETING TO LOOK AT HOW THEY CAN CREATE A BETTER SYSTEM THAT COVERS ALL AREAS, HAS A VARIETY OF HOURS AND THAT GOOD COMMUNICATION MECHANISM BETWEEN ALL OUTREACH PROVIDERS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE, AS YOU CAN SEE WE'VE DIVIDED INTO ADULT AND YOUTH. WE DID THAT BECAUSE THE NEED FOR YOUTH ARE VERY DISTINCT AS THEY ARE FOR ADULTS. DEPUTY UBAL AND EDDY FROM THE COUNTY AND MARK ARE THE CO-CHAIRS. THEY'RE TAKING THE REPORT DONE BY THE URBAN INSTITUTE THAT IDENTIFY CORE STRATEGIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY AND IDENTIFY WHAT OF THOSE THAT WE NEED TO REALLY MOVE FORWARD. AND THE LAST SLIDE, IN TERMS OF COMMITTEES IS REFERRING TO THE YOUTH HOUSING CONTINUUM. WITH QUINN, JENNIFER, AND -- FROM UNM. A VERY DYNAMIC COMMITTEE THAT IS LOOKING AT THE SOLUTION FOR THE UNIQUE POPULATION 18-25. AGAIN, WE'VE CREATED THIS BECAUSE THERE'S MANY NEEDS AND GAPS FOR THE POPULATION THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS NOT ADDRESSING. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO, AS I MENTIONED, IN THE DOCUMENT THAT WE SENT EARLY, YOU CAN SEE FROM EVERY COMMITTEE THEY IDENTIFIED THE NEEDS AND GAPS AND WHAT ARE THE HIGH IMPACT STRATEGIES. THIS WAS APPROVED BY THE COORDINATING COUNSEL. THE NEXT STEPS FOR THEM TO TAKE WHAT THEY SUBMITTED AND TO IDENTIFY WHO WOULD BE A LEAD ORGANIZATION. IF IT'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY SOMEBODY FROM THE COUNTY. AND TO LOOK AT ALL THOSE STRATEGIES AND IDENTIFY TIMELINES. WHAT CAN BE DONE IMMEDIATELY, AND WHAT'S MORE SHORT-TERM OR LONG-TERM, AND LOOK AT THE OPERATIONAL COST. NOW THIS IS WHAT ALL THOSE COMMITTEES, AS THEY'RE MEETING EVERY TWO WEEKS, ARE DOING WITH THE DOCUMENTS I SENT OUT EARLIER. I THINK I HAVE ONE MORE SLIDE. I JUST WANTED TO HAVE A CONCLUSION SLIDE. THESE COMMITTEES AND THE COUNCIL ARE WORK VERY HARD TO SOLVE ONE OF THE MOST PRESSING NEEDS, WHICH IS HOMELESSNESS. I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT ON THIS. I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILORS WE'LL OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS, IF IF YOU HAVE ANY. WHILE WE'RE WAITING. DIRECTOR, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. DIRECTOR, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. IT WAS PLEASURE TO WORK THROUGH THIS PROCESS. I KNOW EVERYBODY THAT SUPPORTS THE MAYOR AND COUNTY COMMISSION. I KNOW A NUMBER OF COUNCILORS, THEIR STAFF HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THESE MEETINGS AS WELL. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING THOSE FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO MOVE FORWARD. YOU CAN SEE A VISION WHERE THIS IS GOING. I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK. IT'S NOT OFTEN THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO SOMETHING THIS BIG THIS QUICKLY. YOU AND YOUR STAFF HAVE BEEN GREAT IN TERMS OF COORDINATING THIS AS HAVE THE FOLKS IN THE COUNTY. COUNCILOR PEÑA, COUNCILOR BENTON, AND COUNCILOR SENA. >>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. HI DIRECTOR, I JUST HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS. I KNOW WHEN WE ESTABLISHED -- I VOTED AGAINST IT, ESTABLISHED THE HOMELESS COORDINATING COUNSEL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOMELESS AND WE'RE TALKING ABILITY THE TRIAGE CENTER DOLLARS. OR DOES THIS FROM THE COUNTY'S PERSPECTIVE INCLUDE THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DOLLARS AS PART OF IT. THE REASON I ASK THAT QUESTION IS BECAUSE I'M VERY FEARFUL THAT SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOMELESSNESS OR JUST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OR JUST ADDICTION THEY'RE USUALLY ONE IN THE SAME. I'M JUST A LITTLE FEARFUL THAT WHEN WE'RE HAVING THE CONVERSATION WE'RE NOT ADDRESSING THE CONTINUUM OF CARE AND HOW THIS PROGRESSES. JUST AS I STATED BEFORE, JUST DEALING WITH HOMELESSNESS IS NOT GOING TO REALLY DO ANYTHING TO IMPACT THE LARGER ISSUE AND THE UNDERLYING ISSUE WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY. >> COUNCILOR DAVIS, AND COUNCILOR PEÑA, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. I THINK ONE OF THE BEAUTIES OF HAVING A MIXED GROUP CO-CHAIR AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THIS COMMITTEE, I THINK THERE'S RECOGNITION OF HOMELESSNESS DOES NOT STAND ALONE. PEOPLE HAVE ADDICTIONS, THEY HAVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES. I THINK COLLECTIVELY THOSE ISSUES WILL BE ADDRESSED. AS WE HAVE $5 MILLION IN THE BUDGET AS A PLACEHOLDER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISIS TRIAGE, WE KNOW THAT'S AN ESSENTIAL GAP THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED. FIRST RESPONDERS CAN MAKE PEOPLE IN NEED TO THAT ADDRESS. I STAND FOR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, IF I DIDN'T ANSWER THAT FULLY. >>COUN. PEÑA: IF I CAN FOLLOW UP. I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BEING THE HOMELESS COORDINATING COUNSEL, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR, MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT RESOLUTION AGAIN AND DO WE NEED TO ADD THAT AS PART OF IT? I REALLY, AS YOU KNOW DIRECTOR, PUTTING SOMEONE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AS A SINGLE DIAGNOSES AND GIVING THEM HOUSING DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM OR VICE VERSA. YOU'RE GIVING SOMEBODY WHO HAS SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES OR DRUG ADDICTED HOUSING ISN'T WHERE WE NEED TO START WITH ALL OF THIS. JUST GOING BACK TO WHEN WE STARTED THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION, IT WAS JUST REAL IMPORTANT TO ME TO REALLY TALK ABOUT THE -- OFTENTIMES IT'S NOT SINGULAR IT'S SEVERAL DIAGNOSES. I'VE HEARD FROM LOTS OF PEOPLE ABOUT HOUSING FIRST. MY EXPERIENCES AND JUST SEEING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY, I THINK HOUSING IS IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF ALL OF THE THIS, BUT I DON'T THINK IT NECESSARILY -- I THINK IT'S A CHICKEN OR THE EGG DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. NO ONE FITS INTO A SINGLE MOLD. I'M NOT SURE THAT HOUSING FIRST IS A DIRECTION WE NEED TO GO. >> COUNCILOR PEÑA, COUNCILOR DAVIS, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A COUPLE THINGS. IN THE MOU THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED IT DOES HIGHLIGHT THAT THE RECOGNITION FOR CITY AND COUNTY AND UNM TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO END HOMELESSNESS WHICH REALLY INCLUDES THE TANGIBLE GATEWAYS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SERVICES. I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. WE'RE LIVING THAT COMPLEXITY EVERY DAY WITH WHICH CORONAVIRUS AND HAVING IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS WITH UNM, STATE, AND COUNTY PARTNERS. WE HAVE -- IF THEY'RE WITHDRAWING OR HAVE BIG BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROBLEMS WE HAVE A GAP. I TOTALLY AGREE ON HOUSING. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND I'LL BE COMING PACK TO CITY COUNCIL IN TWO WEEKS TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR HOUSING WORK WITH RAPID REHOUSING AND WHAT WE DO WITH THE TWO WELLNESS HOTELS AND GET THEM INTO HOUSING BEST FOR THEM. I WELCOME ONGOING CONVERSATIONS. I DON'T THINK I'M TOTALLY ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION. I'M HAPPY TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION. >>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. >>COUN. BENTON: THANKS, DIRECTOR FOR THE UPDATE. I THINK ONE OF THE SLIDES USED WORD PLAN. WE SHOULD NOT USE THE WORD PLAN THIS STAGE OF THE GAME. WE'RE TRYING TO DESCRIBE A FRAMEWORK. THAT'S A FRAMEWORK OF EXISTING SERVICES AND THE FRAMEWORK OF GAPS. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO DISTINGUISH. WE'RE NOT COMING UP WITH A PLAN, AT THIS POINT. WE'RE TRYING TO DESCRIBE THE LAY OF THE LAND. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A TREMENDOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT WE'VE GOTTEN THIS FAR IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME TO FAIRLY SIMPLY, BUT I THINK QUITE COMPREHENSIVELY DESCRIBE THE CHALLENGE. INSTEAD OF PLANS RIGHT NOW, WHAT IS BEING DESCRIBED IS HIGH IMPACT STRATEGIES. THESE ARE THE DECISIONS THAT COULD BE MADE, OR CHANGES THAT COULD BE MADE WITH WHAT WE DO TO DELIVERY OF SERVICES FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS THAT HAVE A HIGH IMPACT ON ALL THOSE VARIOUS GROUPS. IT'S NOT JUST THE YOUNG ADULTS OR TEENAGERS. IT'S VETERANS. IT'S WOMEN WITH CHILDREN. OFTENTIMES WOMEN OF DOMESTIC ABUSE. IT'S A REALLY BROAD SPECTRUM. FOR EACH OF THESE GAPS, WE IDENTIFY WHERE THE GAPS, THE NEXT STEP IS TO CREATE PLANS THAT WILL FILL THOSE GAPS AND ALSO WILL IDENTIFY WHAT'S BEING REQUIRED. WE HAVE TO FACE THAT IT WILL BE CONSIDERABLE PUBLIC INVESTMENT TO TAKE THIS ON. QUICKLY, WITH REGARD TO HOUSING AND SUPPORT, THE FOLKS FROM ALBUQUERQUE HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS KEEP EMPHASIZING THAT HOUSING IS A BIG COMPONENT OF HEALTH, WHETHER MENTAL HEALTH OR ANY OTHER HEALTH TO HAVE A DECENT ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND A PLACE WHERE YOU'RE SECURE IS SO IMPORTANT. AND I DO THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER. ALSO, WITH REGARD TO THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INDUSTRY, THERE'S ONE PERSON VERY ACTIVE IN THE WORK AND VERY ACTIVE IN THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INITIATIVE. THAT'S ROBERT FROM THE RFK CHARTER SCHOOL. HE WORKS WITH OTHER ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY. HE HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL ON HOUSING COMMITTEE ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS AT UNM AND THE DIRECTOR OF REAL ESTATE AT UNM IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE HOUSING COMMITTEE AND HAS REALLY BEEN HELPFUL. I THINK WE HAVE TAKEN A BIG STEP IN GETTING TOGETHER WITH THE COUNTY AND UNM ON THIS. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT STEP AFTER THE RELEASE OF THIS FINAL DOCUMENT. THE FIRST DOCUMENT TO EMERGE FROM THE PROCESS. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. DIRECTOR, I SEE YOU NODDING, IF YOU WANT TO RESPOND, OTHERWISE WE HAVE TWO OTHER COUNCILORS. COUNCILOR SENA, AND COUNCILOR BORREGO. >>COUN. SENA: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I WAS LOOKING AT THE PRESENTATION, AND I'M CURIOUS WHERE COMMUNITY COMES INTO FORMULA. I SEE COUNTY, CITY, UNM FOLKS. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE DOING OUTREACH I SEE -- SOME OF IT WOULD GO THROUGH THERE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NON-PROFIT PEOPLE ACTUALLY SERVE THIS POPULATION. WHERE THEY IN PLAY IN THAT PART? >> COUNCILOR DAVIS, COUNCILOR SENA, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. FOR EXAMPLE ON THE SERVICES COMMITTEE, WE'VE GOT HOPE WORKS, THE ROCK, NEW DAY, GOOD SHEPHERD CENTER, ALBUQUERQUE HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS, SOME EXAMPLES THERE. ON HOUSING WE'VE GOT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AS WELL AS THE MORTGAGE FINANCE AUTHORITY. WE'VE GOT HOPE WORKS, GREATER ALBUQUERQUE HOUSING PARTNERSHIP AND HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS. COORDINATING STREET OUT REACH. FIRST NATION, HEADING HOME, THE NEW MEXICO COALITION TO END HOMELESSNESS. THE DREAM CENTER AND THE VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION AS WELL AS STREET SAFE. I HOPE I'M ANSWERING THE QUESTION. ON THAT LINK I PUT IN THE PRESENTATION, THE LIST OF ALL THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE ON THAT, IF THAT WOULD HELP. AS WELL AS -- AND I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION, ONE OF THE NEXT STEPS THAT I DID NOT INCLUDE IS THAT WE'RE ASKING INTEREST PUBLIC INPUT ON THIS FRAMEWORK. WITH THE GAPS AND HIGH IMPACT STRATEGIES. SO, THAT WILL BE GOING ONLINE WITH A FEEDBACK SHEET. THAT'S OUR FIRST STEP. AND OUR SECOND STEP IS WE'RE ANTICIPATING DOING ZOOM METHS WHERE PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT IN PARTICULAR ON THE SERVICES SYSTEM COMMITTEE, THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE VERY ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PEOPLE THAT ARE SITTING SIDE BY SIDE WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS A VERY RICH DISCUSSION, SO THEY'RE VERY ACTIVE THERE. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. >>COUN. SENA: THANK YOU FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW THIS ISSUE TAKES OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IT'S VERY MULTI-FACETED AND NUANCED. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN WE CAN SHARE WITH THE ASSOCIATION AND THE CITY AS WHEN THEY CAN GIVE THESE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR DAVIS, AND COUNCILOR SENA, WE'LL MAKE SURE ALL SIT A COUNCILORS WHEN WE'RE READY TO GIVE THE LINK AND FORMS TO GET THE WORD SPREAD OUT SO IT WILL INCLUDE ALL CITY COUNCILS ON THAT. THANK YOU. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. COUNCILOR BORREGO. >>COUN. BORREGO: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. CAROL, THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU'RE DOING. I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY WORK. YOU'RE AN AMAZING PERSON. I KNOW THAT CITIES ACROSS THE NATION ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE IT'S NOT AN EASY ISSUE TO DEAL WITH. I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY CITY HAS A REALLY, REALLY GOOD SOLUTION. MYSELF, I'VE STUDIED CITIES ACROSS THE NATION TO SEE WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD MODEL AND I HOPE WE HAVE A GOOD MODEL. WHAT I'M WONDERING ABOUT ARE TRENDS YOU'RE SEEING. IF THERE'S A STUDY OR INFORMATION AVAILABLE THAT PEOPLE CAN ACCESS, I MYSELF WOULD LIKE TO ACCESS THAT INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO TRENDS. WHEN I TALK ABOUT TRENDS, I'M TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE MIGRATION. BECAUSE WE'VE HEARD THAT SOME PEOPLE COME TO ALBUQUERQUE BECAUSE IT'S WARM IN THE SUMMER AND IT'S SEASONAL AND THEY LEAVE TOWN. OR THEY GO TRAVEL TO A DIFFERENT AREA OF THE STATE AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU GUYS HAVE THAT INFORMATION, IT'S IF AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME OF THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION. THE OTHER THING THAT I'M INTERESTED IN IS THE PERCENTAGES OF PEOPLE PLACED IN HOUSING. THIS GETS BACK TO COUNCILOR PEÑA'S COMMENT. HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY STAY IN THE HOUSING ONCE THEY'RE PLACED THERE, IF THERE'S ANY INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE THAT SHOWS WHAT PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY TRANSITION INTO REAL LIFE SITUATION RATHER THAN BEING ON THE STREET. I'M WONDERING IF WE KEEP THAT TYPE OF INFORMATION. THAT'S MY FIRST QUESTION. I KNOW THAT'S A LONG QUESTION. THAT'S INFORMATION THAT I'M VERY INTERESTED IN. AND THE OTHER THING, I'LL LET YOU ANSWER THAT. AND I HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION, IF IT'S OKAY, MR. PRESIDENT. >> COUNCILOR DAVIS, COUNCILOR BORREGO, THE FIRST THING ON TRENDS, THERE'S NOT A SPECIFIC STUDY I CAN POINT TO. BUT THE ONE THING THAT WE DO NO IS THAT BECAUSE WE'RE THE LARGEST COMMUNITY IN THE STATE, WE OFTEN SEE PEOPLE COMING FROM OTHER NEW MEXICO COMMUNITIES BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A SHELTER THERE OR THEY DON'T HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT SOMEBODY WITHOUT A HOME. WE ARE SEEING THAT TREND. I THINK AS I PRESENT IN TWO WEEKS OUR PLAN ON HOUSING, WE INCLUDE THE DATA HOW LONG SOMEBODY IS STAYING IN HOUSING. WE CAN INCLUDE THAT DATA. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING GOOD INFORMATION ON THAT. WE'RE RAISER-SHARP FOCUSED ON THE TWO WELLNESS LOCALES THAT HAVE PEOPLE WITHOUT HOMES AND THE PLAN IS TO GET THEM IN HOUSING. MY PLAN IS WHAT IS THE DISPOSITION, DID THEY GET A HOUSING VOUCHER OR DID THEY GET RECONNECTED WITH A FAMILY MEMBER. WE'RE LEARNING ALL KINDS OF THINGS ABOUT THESE PEOPLE. THAT WILL GIVE US DATA ON WHERE PEOPLE GO TO GET HOUSING, OR HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE NEEDING TO GET CONNECTED WITH A FAMILY MEMBER FOR CARE. FOR SOME OF THE DATA ON HOUSING, I'LL MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT IN OUR PRESENTATION. >>COUN. BORREGO: I THINK THAT TREND TELLS A STORY. IT TELLS A STORY ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY NATIVE NEW MEXICANS OR PEOPLE WHO ARE TRANSITIONAL, OR MIGRATING TO OTHER PLACES. I THINK THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT. THE SECOND QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS REGARDING THE VOUCHERS. I KNOW WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION DURING OUR BUDGET, I JUST WONDERERED, AND I'M SURE YOU'RE ALREADY DOING THIS, BUT I WONDERED IF YOU WANTED TO COMMENT ON THIS OR YOUR THOUGHTS OF RESTRUCTURING THE VOUCHER PROGRAM. >> COUNCILOR DAVIS, AND COUNCILOR BORREGO, WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD ON WHAT WE CAN DO TO OPEN THE PIPELINE AS IT RELATES. SINCE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN BUDGET WE'VE DONE A COUPLE OF THINGS. WE'VE MET WITH ALL OF THE ABOUT TEN PROVIDERS THAT DO HOUSING VOUCHERS TO IDENTIFY BARRIERS AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT GET IN THE WAY OF EXPENDING FUNDS. WE'VE MET WITH THE NEW MEXICO ASSOCIATION AND HAVE PLANS RELATED TO THAT. WE HAVE MET WITH ONE OF THE DISTRICTS TO IDENTIFY THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND WHAT SOME OF THEIR THINKING IS. WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT A LANDLORD MITIGATION FUND AND FIND WHAT LANDLORDS ARE DOING DO GET THAT FUND WHEN AN APARTMENT MIGHT GET WRECKED AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO KEEP OUR BUSINESSES WHOLE WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINKING. WE'RE PUTTING MORE MEAT ON THOSE BONES TO PRESENT THAT IN TWO WEEKS. THAT'S BEN SOME OF THE THINKING. WE'VE HAD GREAT CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE. >>COUN. BORREGO: THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. DIRECTOR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN A COUPLE WEEKS FOR AN UPDATE ON THE VOUCHERS. I KNOW WE'RE GETTING THAT SCHEDULED WITH YOUR OFFICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SEEING NO OTHER PROCLAMATIONS. LIVE PUBLIC COMMENT IS BEING TAKEN TODAY, WE HAVE FOLKS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMENT SUBMITTED TO COUNCILORS EARLIER. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ALLOWED TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL IF THEY SIGNED UP IN THE RULES PUBLISHED IN THE AGENDA.

YOUR ONE AND A HALF MINUTES WILL BEGIN WHEN YOU START SPEAKING. >> PRESIDENT DAVIS, CITY COUNCILORS, I'VE LIVED IN FOURHILLS VILLAGE FOR 25 YEARS. THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO HAS 493 TO 555 MILES OF ROUTE 66, DEPENDING ON THE ROUTE. AND RUNS FROM EAST TO WEST CENTRAL AVENUE THROUGH ALBUQUERQUE. THIS BILL WOULD PROVIDE MUCH-NEEDED FEDERAL FUNDS FOR CULTURAL PRESERVATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND PROMOTION OF THE AREA AND THE ENTIRE STATE. THIS INCLUDES, AMONG OTHER BENEFITS, PURCHASES OF PROPERTIES ALONG THE CORRIDOR, ONLY IF THE PROPERTY OWNER WISHES TO SELL. ARCHITECTURE ENHANCEMENTS, LANDSCAPING LIGHTING SIGNAGE AND PROMOTING THE ROAD TO TOURISTS. NOT PURSUING THIS PILL WILL BE A TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL LOSS TO OUR CITY AND OUR STATISTIC. LINE 21 MEFRNZ THAT CRYTERIA MUST BE MET. THE CRITERIA MENTIONED WAS PUBLIC LAW 101-400 AND ENACTED IN 1990. 30 YEARS AGO. PER NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT STATEMENT MADE ON DECEMBER 12, 2018 REGARDING HR801 AND SENATE BILL 3609. PASSAGE LONG OVERDUE WITH THE HISTORIC TRAIL DESIGNATION. SECURE FUNDING WHEREAS OTHER DESIGNATIONS ARE USUALLY TERM LIMITED FUNDING. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK ON THIS CRITICAL ISSUE FOR ALL NEW MEXICANS. >> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS ANDREW WHITMAN. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TURN ON YOUR VIDEO AND UNMUTE YOURSELF. OUR NEXT SPEAKER AFTER THAT IS BONNY GARCIA. >> HI I'M ANDREW, I'M HERE IN MY APACITY OF THE EAST GATEWAYS. I'VE BEEN IN ALBUQUERQUE FOR OVER 25 YEARS LIVING IN FOURHILLS VILLAGE. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT MEMORIAL 20-1 AMENDING THE NATIONAL TRAILS SYSTEM ACT DESIGNATED THE ROUTE 66 NATIONAL HISTORIC TRAIL. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT MEMORIAL AND I'M HOPING THAT THE PASS MG WILL LEAD TO ACCESS TO FEDERAL FUNDING TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL LAND ALONG ROUTE 66 AND TIJERAS TRAIL AS WELL AS DEVELOPMENT ON EAST CENTRAL WHERE MORE FUNDING IS NEEDED TO HELP DEVELOP THINGS THERE. THANK YOU, COUNCILORS. AND MR. PRESIDENT, FOR YOUR TIME. I APPRECIATE SUPPORTING MEMORIAL 20-1 TO DESIGNATE ROUTE 66 HISTORIC TRAIL. >> THANK YOU, OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BONNY GARCIA.

DURING THIS EXTRAORDINARY TIMES WE'RE WORKING REMOTE AND STRUGGLING TO DELIVER QUALITY SERVICES TO OUR CUSTOMER AND CONSTITUENTS. I'M HERE TODAY FROM BEAUTIFUL, AND SUNNY SAN DIEGO TO THANK COUNCILOR GIBSON, HER POLICY ANALYST, YOUR COUNCIL ATTORNEY, AND CITY STAFF FOR WORKING WITH THE BUSINESS TO IMPROVE THE LANGUAGE AND TO TAKE THE TIME TO BETTER UNDERSTAND TECHNOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS THAT WE PROVIDE BEYOND BEING A MEMBER OF YOUR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE 17 KIOSKS IN YOUR CITY. OUR JOB IS TO HELP CONSUMERS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF RECYCLING BROKEN CELL PHONES. OUR COMPANY IS A PIONEER IN THIS INDUSTRY. WE'VE RECYCLED 27 MILLION PHONES AS OF TODAY. WHEN I WROTE A LETTER TO THE COUNCIL A MONTH AGO ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE BILL YOUR COMMITTEES WERE CONSIDERING, AT THAT TIME WE HAD RECYCLED 25 MILLION PHONES. THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO 7.5 MILLION POUNDS OF ELECTRONIC WASTE THAT IS NOT LANDED IN LANDFILLS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. SPECIFICALLY TO YOUR CITY, WE'VE COLLECTED 7,500 POUNDS OF ELECTRONIC WASTE DIRECTLY FROM YOUR CONSTITUENTS AT NO LOST TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.

I APPRECIATE THAT YOU MADE THE EFFORT TO COME AND ADDRESS THE FULL COUNCIL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> MR. PRESIDENT, LET ME JUST CONCLUDE. I DO GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS FOR OUR COMPANY FOR ALL 50 STATES. WE HAVE MORE THAN 4,000 LOCATIONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, BY FAR ALBUQUERQUE IS ONE OF THE BEST CITIES TO WORK WITH. IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS WE HAD AN AGREEMENT IN MAKING THIS A BETTER ORDINANCE. THANK YOU AND OUR CITY COUNCIL FOR SUPPORTING THIS EFFORT. >> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS STEVE ATWOOD. MR. ATWOOD FEEL FREE TO TURN ON YOUR VIDEO AND UNMUTE YOURSELF. YOUR ONE AND A HALF MINUTES WILL BEGIN WHEN YOU START SPEAKING. >> HELLO I'M STEVE ATWOOD AND LIVE OFF OF ROUTE 66 OVER IN THE OAKWOOD HOMES. I WOULD LIKE TO -- ON THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THIS ROAD. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK OUT OF THE PROPOSAL. IT SEEMS OUR CITY COUNCILLORS THINK EMPLOYERS SHOULD BE GUARANTEE TIME OFF. I APPRECIATE IT, YOU HAVE A HEART FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE. I MYSELF WORKED AT THE -- FOUND SOME FISH FOSSILS IN THE 80s. KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THEN? I GOT DIVORCED. THAT'S WHAT WE CALLED IT ANYWAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT SAID ON THE PRESCRIPTION. I THINK WE SHOULD SEND THEM TO WORK AND TO HOSPITALS. THEY CAN SWEEP THE FLOORS OR CLEAN UP THE BUSHES AND BE TREATED AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MR. ATWOOD. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MYRA -- YOUR ONE AND A HALF MINUTES WILL BEGIN WHEN YOU START SPEAKING. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCILORS, I'M THE CHAIRMAN OF THE -- COMMISSION. I'M SPEAKING AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. I OWN THREE SMALL, LOCAL, INDEPENDENT RESTAURANTS. AS YOU KNOW THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY HAS BEEN HIT HARD BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AS WELL AS A LOT OF OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES. SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING TODAY ABOUT R-20-109 WHICH IS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE PROPOSAL TO INCREASE THE CAP ON THE $10 MILLION OF CARES FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNATED FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND IT'S BEING DISTRIBUTED BY THE ECONOMIC DEPARTMENT TO SMALL BUSINESSES THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS. WIN THIS FUNDING WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED, WE WERE VERY EXCITED TO SEE SOME HELP COMING TO SMALL BUSINESSES. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A CAP OF $10,000 ON THAT FUNDING. AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WHO HAS RECEIVED SOME MONEY, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT CAP IS VERY, VERY SMALL. IT'S NOT ENOUGH MONEY. SO, I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND IN SUPPORT OF R-2109 TO RAISE THAT TO $20,000 SO THAT SOME OF US CAN STILL RECEIVE HELP. WE NEED HELP. WE NEED IT RIGHT NOW. WE CAN'T WAIT. THE FEDERAL STIMULUS PACKAGES ARE ON HOLD. >> YOUR TIME IS UP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >>COUN. DAVIS: MYRA HANG OUTS JUST A MINUTE. COUNCILOR BENTON HAS A FOLLOW-UP. >>COUN. BENTON: MYRA THIS IS ON YOUR AGENDA TODAY FOR SERVICE AND I JUST WANT TO GIVE HER A CHANCE TO WRAP UP. >>COUN. DAVIS: THAT'S THE MAGIC WORD. UNDER OUR RULES A COUNCILOR CAN EXTEND YOUR TIME. GO AHEAD IF YOU CAN KEEP IT FAIRLY SHORT. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR BENTON. I WANTED TO BRING UP THAT BERNALILLO COUNTY GAVE OUT GRANTS AND THEY HAVE $6.5 MILLION TO SPEND. THEY WERE UNABLE TO SPEND IT. THEY HAD TO INTRODUCE A THIRD ROUND TO GIVE AWAY THE MONEY. AND ONLY THEN WERE THEY ABLE TO DO SO. THIS MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT BY THE END OF THE YEAR OR WE LOSE IT. I WOULD HATE TO LOSE IT BECAUSE OF THIS CAP. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I APPRECIATE IT. >>COUN. DAVIS: MR. MOYA, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILORS AND THOSE THAT PARTICIPATED THIS EVENING. WE'LL MOVE TO THE NEXT SESSION OF THE AGENDA. WE HAVE A FAIRLY LENGTHY FOR ADMINISTRATION Q&A. I WANT TO GIVE COUNCILORS TIME TO DO THAT. WE'LL ALSO REMIND FOLKS THAT WE WANT TO RESPECT EVERYBODY'S TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE ACTION ITEMS AND OTHER FOLKS WAITING FOR PRESENTATIONS AT THE END OF THE AGENDA. I'LL DEFER MYSELF UNTIL THE END AND START WITH COUNCILOR BASSAN, YOU'VE SUBMITTED QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME, THEN WE'LL GO TO COUNCILOR BORREGO AND MYSELF. >>COUN. BASSAN: I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. WE'VE BEEN GETTING E-MAIL AND HAVING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SPEEDING AND DRAG RACING. NOISE LEVELS. I WANTED TO TOUCH BASE AFTER OUR MEETING LAST WEEK WITH HAD WITH CERTAIN MEMBERS OF APD AND FOLLOW UP WITH COUNCIL. WHAT IS THE MAYOR'S OFFICE TO REDUCE SPEEDING AND DRAG RACING THROUGHOUT THE CITY? >>COUN. DAVIS: I SEE THOSE FOLKS POPPING UP THERE. IF YOU CAN INTRODUCE YOURSELF, PLEASE. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, IT'S COMMANDER BARKER WITH APD. I'M THE ACTING CHIEF OF STAFF. FOR THE RECORD, APD'S EFFORT TO REDUCE SPEEDING AND DRAG RACING INCLUDE LOOKING AT OUR DATA. IT'S A APPROACH TO SAFETY. WE TAKE THE DATA AND WE FOCUS OUR EFFORTS AT THOSE LOCATIONS. WE HAVE A HIGH VISIBILITY AND TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. COMMUNICATION, THEY SPEND US ALL OF THE 311 AND SPEEDING COMPLAINTS AT AREA COMMAND. EACH AREA COMMAND ADDRESSES THOSE COMPLAINTS DIRECTLY, INCLUDING AGGRESSIVE DRIVING. WE HAVE ECHO LOCATIONS, AND SPEED TRAILERS ARE PUT UP. WE GIVE THE DATA TO THE OFFICERS SO THERE'S TARGETED ENFORCEMENT DURING THE HOURS WE'RE SEEING THE SPEEDING. EACH AREA COMMAND REACHES OUT TO THE TRAFFIC DIVISION. THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AN ATTACK PLAN THAT WILL ADDRESS THE 311 COMPLAINTS COMING IN. WE DID DO A MAP TO SHOW WHERE THESE 311 COMPLAINTS ARE AND THE TRAFFIC DIVISION IS GOING TO START ENFORCING TRAFFIC CITATIONS AND VIOLATIONS IN THOSE AREAS ON A WEEKLY BASIS. LOOKING AT TWO ATTACK PLAN AS WEEK. WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS. WE'RE WORKING WITH PUTTING OUT INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC CERTAIN AREAS OF CRIME AND THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY OUR DEPARTMENT. AND DRAG RACING AND SPEEDING IS ONE OF OF THOSE. WE'LL BE WORKING TO GIVE THAT OUT. COMMANDERS JUST HAD AN ONGOING MEETING TO ADDRESS THE DRAG RACING, SPECIFICALLY IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND ALONG CENTRAL. I KNOW THE WEST SIDE HAS SOME DRAG RACING THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED OUT BY THE OLD JAIL AND THE WEST SIDE SHELTER. OUR PARTIES HAVE RESPONDED TO THOSE CALLS. WE'RE AWARE OF A GROUP MEETING EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT. THAT'S ANOTHER WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. I IMAGINE I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU WITH A COUPLE QUESTIONS I SUBMITTED. WHAT IS THE MAYOR'S OFFICES DOING TO REDUCE SPEEDING, DRAG RACING, AND THESE NOISE PROBLEMS? I WANT TO KNOW HOW INVOLVED IS THE CITY ADMINISTRATION GETTING? I FEEL LIKE -- I'M GOING TO SKIP TO THE END OF ALL OF THIS. I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE SCARED AND WE'RE HEARING ABOUT THIS DAILY. I IMAGINE THE MAYOR'S OFFICES IS DOING SO AS WELL, AND I KNOW APD IS AS WELL. CRIME IS NOT NOTICEALLY DROPPING AND THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD HAVING THE LAST FEW WEEKS, WHILE I WORK WITH APD WE RECOGNIZE THERE'S A PROBLEM. SOMETIMES IT BEGINS WITH SMALLER INFRACTIONS. SPEEDING IS BECOMING A MASSIVE PROBLEM IN THE CITY. ONCE PEOPLE LEARN THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THAT. THEY START TO GET AWAY WITH THAT, AND GET AWAY AWAY WITH MORE. I FEEL LIKE I'M LEARNING A LOT ABOUT WHAT APD IS DOING, AND I REALIZE APD IS UNDER THE UMBRELLA, AND WE'VE HAD OUR DISCUSSIONS. IS THERE A CAMPAIGN THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS DOING? WILL THEY DO IT? WHAT IS GOING AN AS FAR AS MAYOR KELLER AND HIS ADMINISTRATION AND WHAT HE WANTS TO DO TO TARGET THE PROBLEM WE HAVE SPEEDING AND DRAG RACING THROUGHOUT OUR CITY? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, THE MAYOR'S OFFICES HAS DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER AND THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SPEEDING COMPLAINTS THAT ARE COMING IN. WE ARE, LIKE I STATED, PROVIDED A 311 SYSTEM AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THESE CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED. OUR DEPARTMENT AND CITY COUNCIL PROVIDE THOSE COMPLAINTS TO US AND IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE WE FOLLOW UP AND ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU, COMMANDER. MR. PRESIDENT, I HAVE A FEW MORE. SPEAKING -- THIS IS MY BIG TOPIC TONIGHT SPEEDING. HOW MANY TRAFFIC OFFICERS WORK IN THE TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT AND HOW MANY TRAFFIC OFFICERS WILL BE THE IDEAL NUMBER? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, WE CURRENTLY HAVE 17 MOTOR POLICE OFFICERS WORKING IN THE TRAFFIC DIVISION. THREE MOTOR SERGEANTS, AND ONE LIEUTENANT, AND ONE COMMANDER. THERE WAS A STUDY COMPLETED LAST YEAR WHICH RECOMMENDED 36 TO 38 OFFICERS. >>COUN. BASSAN: OKAY. THANK YOU. THANKS, COMMANDER AND LOOK FORWARD TO GET THAT FULLY STAFFED WHEN WE GET MORE CADETS GRADUATED FROM THE ACADEMY. MY OTHER QUESTION IS WILL YOU PLEASE PROVIDE REPORTS FOR THE NUMBER OF SPEEDING TICKETS OR CITATIONS, I'M TRYING TO PUT MYSELF INTO A CORNER. IF SOMEBODY IS GETTING PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING, OR AGGRESSIVE DRIVING, MY POINT WITH THIS QUESTION IS TO UNTIL -- I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS SAYING NOBODY THINKS THEY'RE GOING TO GET PULLED OVER BY APD IF THEY'RE SPEEDING. NO MATTER WHERE THEY'RE AT. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I SUPPORT APD, I KNOW YOU'RE BUSTING YOUR TAILS TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN, WHICH WHY I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AND WE START FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET THAT STAFFING UP. I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO START GETTING THIS, I THINK IT'S GREAT TO BE IN COLLABORATION. FOR NOW, HOW MANY SPEEDING TICKETS OR RELATED SPEEDING OR RACING CITATIONS WERE GIVEN IN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, AND AUGUST? >> THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO ME, SPEEDING CITATIONS FOR AUGUST WERE 753, SEPTEMBER 839, AND OCTOBER 750. CITATIONS FOR FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY FOR AUGUST -- CARELESS DRIVING 41. OCTOBER 66. AND WRECKLESS DRIVING FOR AUGUST IS 10, SEPTEMBER 13, AND OCTOBER 14. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT INCLUDE HANDWRITTEN CITATIONS. MOST OF OUR CITATIONS ARE UTILIZED AND DONE ON THE TRACK SYSTEM. BUT IF THAT SYSTEM WERE TO GO DOWN OFFICERS HAND WRITE CITATIONS. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THOSE CITATIONS. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY GOOD AT HAVING TANGIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY, I'M CONVINCED WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SEE THESE NUMBERS ESCALATING BEFORE WE SEE THEM DECREASE AND SEEING THE CULTURE SHIFT. HOW MANY FATAL CRASHES HAVE WE HAD THIS YEAR? >> WE HAVE HAD 52 FATAL ACCIDENTS. >>COUN. BASSAN: HOW MANY DID WE HAVE UP TO THIS POINT LAST YEAR? >> WE HAD 75. >>COUN. BASSAN: IS THERE A WHY TO KNOW IF THESE CRASHES WERE FATAL BECAUSE OF SPEEDING AND RACING, IF SO, HOW MANY WOULD THAT BE? >> THE TRAFFIC DIVISION INFORMED ME THAT THE MOST ACCURATE WAY FOR THEM TO KNOW IF THESE CRASHES WERE CAUSED BY SPEEDING IS GETTING THE DATA IN THE BLACK BOX IN VEHICLES. IT PROVIDES THE SPEAK OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. WE USE WITNESS STATEMENTS OR SURVEILLANCE. THIS CALENDAR YEAR WE HAVE FIVE CRASHES TO DATE THAT WE CONFIRM WERE A RESULT OF SPEEDING. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU. I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A BLACK BOX IN A CAR LIKE IN THE AIRPLANES. THANK YOU. ONE MORE THING, MR. PRESIDENT, I'M CURIOUS BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE APD FACEBOOK PAGE, NOT THIS MINUTE, BUT I HAVE BEEN CHECKING IT OUT, THERE'S A POST ON THERE AND WHERE TOOK A SCREENSHOT TALKING ABOUT THE ANTI- CRIME OPERATION HAPPENING IN ALBUQUERQUE. I THINK IT'S LATE, BUT I'M WONDERING WHAT IS THE ANTI- CRIME OPERATION AND WHO IS INVOLVED IN IT? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, THE ANTI- CRIME OPERATION IS A PLAN THAT CHIEF HAS HAD OUR UNITS DOING ON A WEEKLY BASIS. WE INVOLVE ALL OF THE DIVISIONS, THAT INCLUDES TRAFFIC DIVISION. WE HAVE FIELD SERVICES, PROPERTY RESPONSE TEAMS. AND PEOPLE FROM CIB, AND IMPACT AND VICE DETECTIVES AND THEY'RE GOING OUT ENFORCING THE ZERO TOLERANCE. ANY VIOLATIONS THAT THEY SEE, AND TRAFFIC IS VERY MUCH INVOLVED. >>COUN. BASSAN: THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY NEXT QUESTION IS TRAFFIC INVOLVED IN THIS. I'M GLAD WE'RE SEEING ENFORCEMENT. I WANT TO TELL THE PUBLIC AND EVERYBODY, IF YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCE FOR YOUR ACTION. IF YOU BREAK A LAW THERE SHOULD BE A CONSEQUENCE. I DON'T THINK THIS IS ABOUT MAKING SURE WE TARGET A SPECIFIC POPULATION. I THINK THAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SPEEDING, IT'S CLEAR IF YOU'RE SPEEDING AND IF IT'S EXCESSESIVE WE NEED TO HAVE ENFORCEMENT AND CONSEQUENCES. OTHERWISE LESSONS WILL NOT BE LEARNED AND CRIME WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE, WHICH IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE I'M HEARING FROM EVERYBODY. I'M THINKING THIS IS A REALLY GOOD WAY WE NEED START WORKING TOGETHER TO PRIORITIZE REDUCING THAT AND MAKING SURE WE SEND A MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC THAT IF YOU'RE SPEEDING, TODAY MIGHT BE THE DAY YOU GET CAUGHT. MAYBE THINK TWICE ABOUT IT. I APPRECIATE YOU ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS. I LOOK FORWARD TO NOT GETTING A SPEEDING TICKET BUT SEEING OTHERS DO IT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. COUNCILOR BENTON, COUNCILOR JONES, AND MYSELF, AND WE'LL MOVE TO COUNCILOR BORREGO. >>COUN. BENTON: JUST TO FOLLOW FROM COUNCILOR BASSAN'S QUESTION. I WANT TO THANK COMMANDER BARKER FOR MEETING WITH ME AND DC SMATHERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE CONTINUING DISCUSSIONS WE'RE HAVING. AND I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE MY PITCH FOR ANOTHER ASPECT OF THIS. WITH SPEED, TYPICALLY COMES NOISE. THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY DIFFICULT NOISE ON MANY OF OUR CORRIDORS DUE TO THE SAME ACTIVITY. IT'S NOT ALL RACING. NOT ALL SPEED. BUT IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH THE LOOK AT ME ATTITUDE. AND THE FAILURE TO USE FACTORY MUFFLERS WHICH WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE AGAINST THAT. I SPONSORED THAT BY REQUEST IN 2009 AS RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR CHAVEZ AT THE TIME. AT THE TIME WE'RE TALKING NOT ONLY FOR DOWNTOWN BECAUSE IT WAS A PROBLEM DOWNTOWN WHERE YOU HAVE CONSTRICTED STREETS WITH BUILDING RIGHT AGAINST THE STREET AND THE ECHOES ARE REALLY LOUD. AT THE SAME TIME, THE OTHER COUNCILORS SAID, WE WANT THIS CITY WIDE, DON'T WANT IT JUST DOWNTOWN. IT IS A PUBLIC, I WOULD SAY, IT'S A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE. WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP, IT'S HARD TO BE HEALTHY. I WOULD SAY IT IS A QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE FOR ANYONE WHO LIVES NEAR THESE CORRIDORS. AS A MATTER OF PUBLIC POLICY, THIS CITY SUPPORTS REVITALIZATION OF THESE CORRIDORS, AND THAT WON'T BE VIABLE UNLESS WE TACKLE THE NOISE ISSUE. I WANT TO THANK COMMANDER BARKER FOR HER WORK ON THIS. I THINK WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT THE MAYOR MIGHT THINK ABOUT THIS. I THINK WE ALL NEED TO TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR BENTON. COUNCILOR JONES. >>COUN. JONES: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I THINK THIS IS OUR RESPONSE IS A MAJOR ISSUE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. I DON'T THINK ANY AREA -- I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY AREA OF THE CITY THAT ISN'T AFFECTED BY THIS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SEE EVERY TIME I'M ON THE ROAD, THERE'S A COUPLE STREETS THAT I TRAVEL MORE OFTEN THAN OTHERS, THE SPEED LIMIT IS 40 MILES AN HOUR, AND THERE'S CARS ALL TIMES OF THE DAY, WE'RE NOT TALKING NIGHTTIME A TRAFFIC, THAT PEOPLE ARE PASSING OTHER CARS AT 60, 70, 80 MILES AN HOUR. OBVIOUSLY RACING WITH A CAR THAT LOOKS MORE RACY OR A BETTER CAR THAN THEIRS. IT NEVER STOPS. I'VE NEVER, IN THE LAST EIGHT TO NINE MONTHS, SEEN ANY KIND OF AN OFFICER OR A RADAR SITUATION ON ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC STOP ANYWHERE ON THESE. RIGHT NOW, WITH SCHOOL OUT IT'S NOT AS DANGEROUS, BUT I WANT TO SAY THERE'S STUDENT DRIVERS WHO ARE AT GREAT RISK FROM THESE SPEEDERS THAT COME UPRIGHT BEHIND THEM AND THEY ZIP AROUND THEM AND IN FRONT OF THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND COMMANDER BARKER THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PLAN ON HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THIS. I THINK EVERY COUNCILOR CAN POINT IT OUT. THERE'S TWO MAJOR STREETS THAT I REPRESENT THAT DAY AND NIGHT DRAG RACING, SPEEDING, AND THEY'RE PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE AT RISK. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME TYPE OF PLAN CITY WIDE. I'M INTERESTED IN THE FOUR STREETS THAT IN MY DISTRICT. CONSTANT CALLS, E-MAILS, TEXTS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE AFRAID TO GET OUT ON THE STREETS BECAUSE OF SPEEDING. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PLAN FOR US TO SEE SO WE CAN REPORT TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ABSOLUTELY AT THE END THEIR -- THEIR WIT'S END AS WE LIKE TO SAY. THANK YOU, I KNOW IT'S POSSIBLE TO DO THIS. I KNOW THE POLICE HAVE WAYS TO DO IT. AND IN THE PAST WE'VE PUT TOGETHER SPECIAL FUNDS TO DO CHIEF'S OVERTIME TO TAKE CARE OF THESE THINGS AND GET OFFICERS TO DO DEAL WITH IT. ON BEHALF OF THE OTHER COUNCILORS, WE WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO TRY TO MINEMIZE THE SPEEDING. THANK YOU, COMMANDER. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR JONES. COUNCILOR PEÑA, I SEE YOU, AND I'LL GO BACK TO MYSELF AND CLOSE THIS ROUND. >>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THANKS COUNCILOR BASSAN FOR BRINGING UP SOME OF THE CONCERNS. AS YOU KNOW A COUPLE MEETINGS BACK I TALKED ABOUT ERICA CHAVEZ WHO WAS KILLED AS A RESULT OF EXCESSIVE SPEED ON UNSER AND TOWER. AND KNOWING THAT I'VE HEARD FROM SEVERAL COUNCILORS BACK, WE USED COUNCILOR JONES AS AN EXAMPLE, WE HEARD HER TALKING NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT HER DIRECT. AS A RESULT, WE'VE PUT TOGETHER A FEW MEETINGS WITH COUNCILOR BENTON, COUNCILOR SENA, COUNCILOR BASSAN AND MYSELF TO TALK ABOUT IT. I'D LOVE TO INVITE THE ADMINISTRATION TO PARTICIPATE, IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO. WE DO TALK TO CHIEF MEDINA AND COMMANDER RIVERA TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE ADDRESS IT. IT'S AT THE CRISIS LEVEL IN THE COMMUNITY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REASONS ARE, BUT THIS IS PROBABLY LIKE I SAID BEFORE, ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE CALLS I GET IN MY DISTRICT. COLLECTIVELY WE TALKED ABOUT ENFORCEMENT AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS. I THINK COUNCILOR BASSAN WAS TALKING TO THAT. AND WE TALKED ABOUT LOOKING AT ANY ORDINANCES THAT WE HAVE THAT WOULD NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. AND THEN, THIS IS IMPORTANT, EDUCATION IN OUR COMMUNITY. MY POLICY ANALYST, RACHEL, WE TALKED ABOUT A CAMPAIGN WE COULD USE, AND SHE CAME UP WITH A NAME THAT I THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT. IT WAS THAT SPEEDING HAS A NAME. OBVIOUSLY, THAT NAME OF ERICA CHAVEZ IS ATTACHED TO THAT. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONTINUED DIALOGUE. I KNOW COUNCILOR BENTON IS PROMOTING THE NOISE PART OF IT, WHICH I AGREE. I THINK AN IMPORTANT PART OF IT AS WELL. IF THE ADMINISTRATION IS INTERESTED IN REALLY WORKING WITH US TO TACKLE THIS, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO INCLUDE YOU GUYS AS PART OF THEY DISCUSSION. WE REALLY NEED TO GET A HANDLE ON THIS IN OUR CITY. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. LET ME BRING THIS TO A CLOSE. COMMANDER CONGRT I WANT TO ADD TO YOUR LIST. AND REMIND US, IF YOU WOULD COMMANDER, ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE'VE HAD IN OUR DISTRICT IS THE AREA AROUND MESA DEL SOL, ON SUNDAYS IT GENERATES A WHOLE LOT OF THIS TRAFFIC. BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC UNIT DOESN'T WORK ON SUNDAY. THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS TAKEN TO PUT THE FOLKS ON THE CITY SIDE OF THE STREET AND WHEN THE FOLKS SHOW UP THEY GO TO THE COUNTY SIDE. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE HAD COOPERATION. AS COUNCILOR JONES SAID, WE GAVE DISCRETIONARY FUNDS FOR PROJECTS THERE. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO REVISIT IT. I WAS ALSO REMINDED, IF YOU WOULD, AND HEARD YOU LIST, IN OUR FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER WE DISCUSSED THIS TOPIC AND ASKED THE TRAFFIC COMMANDER AT THE TIME TO INCLUDE LEAD AND COAL. IN THE WORK IT WAS BECAUSE THE MAYOR'S OFFICE WAS GOING TO DO A SPEED STUDY THERE. APD HAD COMMITTED INTO HELPING TO DO A NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET. IF YOU HELP US FOLLOW UP ON THAT REQUEST. I KNOW THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR SIX WEEKS AND I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AN UPDATE. IF YOU CAN FOLLOW UP ON THE TWO LOCATIONS AND LET US KNOW. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE THAT. COMMANDER, I KNOW WE TOOK A LOT OF YOUR TIME. I WANT GIVE YOU THE LAST WORD. COMMANDER, GO AHEAD. >> MR. PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILORS, WE'LL FOLLOW UP ON THOSE. MR. PRESIDENT, I DO KNOW THE COMMANDER IN THE SOUTHEAST AREA COMMAND HAS SPEED TRAILERS SET UP AT LEAD AND COAL AND HAVE OFFICERS WORKING IN THAT AREA. WE'RE AWARE OF THE TRAFFIC AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVING. WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN WORKING TOGETHER SO WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE. FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME WITH ANY CONCERNS. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANKS, COMMANDER. LAST WORD GOES TO THE MAYOR'S CONFERENCE ROOM. >> MR. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, WE APPRECIATE THIS CONVERSATION. AS THE COMMANDER TALKED ABOUT, WE'RE INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH EACH OF YOU. COUNCILOR PEÑA, LET US KNOW WHEN YOUR NEXT MEETING IS AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE FROM APD OR THE ADMINISTRATION JOIN YOU IN THAT CONVERSATION. COUNCILOR BENTON, AS IT RELATES TO THE NOISE ISSUES WE HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AS WE SPEAK, EXPLORING WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING. LOOKING AT SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES AS IT RELATES TO NOISE. WE HOPE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO THE COUNCIL VERY SOON TO BEGIN TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE YOU RAISE WHICH IS THE NOISE OCCURRING IN THE COMMUNITY ALONG WITH THE SPEEDING. I APPRECIATE THE COUNCILLORS INTEREST IN THESE ISSUE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO GIVING YOU FEEDBACK. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILORS, THAT'S CONCLUDES COUNCILOR BASSAN'S QUESTION. WE'LL MOVE TO COUNCILOR BORREGO, AND MYSELF, AND OPEN MYSELF TO ANY LAST MINUTE AND WE'LL MOVE TO ACTION ITEMS. >>COUN. BORREGO: FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COUNCILORS THAT ARE BRINGING UP THE ISSUE ABOUT NOISE AND SPEED BECAUSE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH OUR COMMANDER EVERY WEEK REGARDING PASEO AND UNSER AND GOLF COURSE. WE HAVE MAJOR STRAIGHT AWAYS ON THE WEST SIDE THAT DON'T HAVE LOT OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS LIKE UNSER AND PASEO. DITTO ON THAT. I WANT TO THANK OUR COMMANDER BAKER BECAUSE SHE IS WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. YOU GUYS CANNOT HAVE HER. THAT'S THE FIRST THING I HAVE TO SAY. ACTUALLY, SHE'S JUST A SWEETHEART SHE'S PROFESSIONAL, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HER. SHE'S A WONDERFUL PERSON. I'M HAPPY TO HAVE HER IN MY DISTRICT. THAT'S WHY I JOKE THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE HER. ANYWAY, MY QUESTION ARE RELATE TODAY THE FILM INDUSTRY. I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANYONE FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE ROOM. SO, MY FIRST QUESTION IS HOW IS ALBUQUERQUE FILM INDUSTRY PERFORMING DURING THE TIME OF COVID-19? ARE YOU SEEING ANY TRENDS REGARDING THAT? >> MR. PRESIDENT, AND COUNCILOR BORREGO, THE ALBUQUERQUE FILM OFF HAS ONLY RECENTLY BEGUN ISSUING PERMITS, FILMING RECOMMENCED IN EARLY OCTOBER. SO FAR, WE'VE HAD ONE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. TWO COMMERCIAL ADDS, FOUR FEATURE FILMS THAT HAVE REQUESTED PERMITTING, PLUS THERE ARE THREE TV SERIES PREPPING ON SOUND STAGES IN ALBUQUERQUE TO BEGIN FILMING IN NOVEMBER. AS FAR AS IF WE'RE SEEING A TREND, THERE REALLY IS NOT ENOUGH DATA TO INDICATE A TREND. ONCE WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF Q4 WE WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO TRACK WHERE THE INDUSTRY IS HEADING. ALL INDICATORS, UNLESS THERE'S MORE COVID-19 CASES, ALBUQUERQUE IS POISED TO SEE AN UPTICK IN PRODUCTION GOING INTO 2021. THERE'S SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT ARE POSTPONED FILMING FROM Q1 AND Q2 OF NEXT YEAR. >>COUN. BORREGO: THANK YOU, THE SUN IS COMING THROUGH MY WINDOW, I'M HAVING A HARD TIME SEEING. I'LL BE INTERESTED IN FOLLOWING THOSE TRENDS WHEN YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE I THINK WE'VE APPROVED A LOT OF MONEY AND CONTRACTS WITH SOME OF THE BIGGER FILM INDUSTRIES. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT THAT WHOLE INDUSTRY. MY SECOND QUESTION IS HARDING THE CONTRACTS THAT WE PUT IN PLACE, AND I KNOW THAT WE STRUCTURED SOME OF THE CONTRACTS THAT THEY HAD TO PRODUCE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF JOBS AND SO ON. I'M JUST WONDERING HOW OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT IS DEALING WITH THAT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS LAST YEAR HAS BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT. I'M JUST WONDERING, ARE WE GIVING THEM EXTENSIONS TO THEIR CONTRACTS? ARE THERE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE HAVING TO TAKE PLACE REGARDING THE CHANGES THAT WE'RE SEEING WITH COVID? I KNOW THERE MAY BE SOME CAPACITY LIMITATIONS OR EVEN DARE I SAY, ANY CLOSURES. I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THE CITY IS GOING TO PROCEED BECAUSE WE HAVE CERTAIN TIMELINES AND WE HAD CERTAIN GOALS THAT HEY HAD TO MEET IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE FUNDING THAT WE ALLOCATED. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BORREGO, WE HAVE NOT HAD TO AMEND ANY OF THE CURRENT PROJECT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS. HAPPY TO KEEP YOU UPDATED. WE'RE SEEING AN UPTICK FROM CALLS IN THE PRODUCTION COMPANIES IN OUR FILM OFFICE. IF WE HAPPEN TO RECEIVE A REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO ANY CURRENT PROJECT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU IMMEDIATELY. AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY OF THOSE REQUESTS. >>COUN. BORREGO: IF YOU CAN KEEP US POSTED ON THAT. THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CLOSE MY SHADE. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANKS, COUNCILOR BORREGO. I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND WE'LL MOVE TO ACTION ITEMS. I SEE DIRECTOR WILLIAMS AND MR. RAEL, DIRECTOR HOW HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THIS TODAY. YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE SOUTHEAST REGARDING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES AND HOW THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS PERMITTING THOSE. THE COUNCIL HAD AN UPDATE IN THE IDO TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, I KNOW THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S WEBSITE WAS NOT UPDATED UNTIL TODAY. I'M LOOKING FOR INFORMATION FOR HOW THEY'RE ADDRESSING THOSE ROLES FOR DENSITY AND CAPACITY AND ARE WE APPROPRIATELY REGULATING THEM AND PERMEETING THEM TO MEET THE IDO STANDARDS THE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR. >> YES, YOU'RE CORRECT. THE RECENT AMENDMENTS TO THE IDO WHICH WERE PASSED BY THE COUNCIL IN SEPTEMBER WENT INTO EFFECT TODAY. THE PAST SEVERAL WEEK AND THIS WEEKEND STAFF WAS WORKING TO UPDATE VARIOUS FORMS OF COMMUNICATION WHICH INCLUDES, AS IT RELATES TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL FACILITY AND GROUP HOMES TO UPDATE THE CODE ENFORCEMENT WEBSITE TO REFLECT THOSE CHANGES. I'M ALSO AWARE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN CODE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION EDITOR, DEPUTY DIRECTOR THAT SERVES AS THE ZONING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND CITY LEGAL TO ENSURE THAT THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE CAN BE FAIRLY APPLIED AND CAN BE DONE SO IN A MANNER THAT IS PREDICTABLE AND REASONABLE. I'M CONFIDENT BASED ON THOSE THAT STAFF MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO ENFORCE THOSE STANDARDS, AND ADHERE TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL STANDARDS THEY HAVE AS IT RELATES TO GAUFB -- BETWEEN THOSE AND WHAT IS DEFINED IN THE FAMILY OR IDO. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. I APPRECIATE IT. THIS IS DOWN IN THE WEEDS ISSUE, AND I KNOW OUR OFFICE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET INFORMATION FROM YOUR OFFICES FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I APPRECIATE THAT. IT'S GOOD TO HEAR THAT STAFF ARE BEING TRAINED AND WE WILL BE ENFORCING THAT PROPERLY. WHETHER IT'S SOCIAL SUPPORT HOMES OR OTHER GATEWAY CENTERS COMING, THE CITY WILL ENSURE THEY'RE DONE EQUITABLY. THANK YOU FOR THAT, WE'LL LOOK TO SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT. THANKS FOR MAKING THE TIME AND DOING THE WORK AND CREATING THE UPDATE. COUNCILOR BENTON, AND COUNCILOR PEÑA ON THIS QUESTION. >>COUN. BENTON: SEPARATE QUESTION, UNLESS YOU WANT TO WRAP IT UP, MR. PRESIDENT? >>COUN. DAVIS: GO AHEAD, COUNCILOR BENTON. >>COUN. BENTON: QUICKLY, COUNCILOR BORREGO AND I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW. I THINK WE SHARE A CONCERN ABOUT ENFORCEMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH ORDERS INVOLVING MASKING AND CERTAIN PUBLIC SITUATIONS. I KNOW THAT IT'S PRETTY BROAD LANGUAGE, BUT THERE'S SOME SITUATIONS IN WHICH IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT'S PRETTY EGREGIOUS VIOLATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH ORDERS OF PEOPLE IN PUBLIC NOT WEARING MASKS. A UTILITY CONTRACTOR IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, OR MANY OF THE WORKERS NOT WEARING MASKS. PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE WALKING PAST THEM ON SIDEWALKS. I KNOW THIS MAY BE AN UNEXPECTED QUESTION, I APOLOGIZE. TO THE ADMINISTRATION, WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH REGARD TO ENFORCEMENT OF MASK ORDERS? I KNOW WHEN WE STARTED OUT WITH THE PANDEMIC EARLY ON, THERE WAS A MESSAGE HERE AT THE CITY AND AT THE SATE LEVEL WAS WE HAVE THESE, WE REALLY, REALLY WANT YOU TO DO IT, BUT WE'RE REALLY NOT GOING TO FINE YOU OR PULL YOU OVER FOR NOT DOING IT. I REALLY, GIVEN WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW WITH THE PANDEMIC AND THE UPTICK, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IT. I WONDER IF THE COUNCIL OUGHT TO BE TAKING THIS ON. I THINK RATHER THAN HAVE A PROTRACKED DISCUSSION TONIGHT, I'D BE GLAD TO MEET WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS. WE'RE AT OUR WIT'S END WITH SEEING BAD BEHAVIOR WITH REGARD TO THAT. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME? SO, WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY ACTIVE, IF YOU'RE JUST SPEAKING GENERALLY ABOUT PHO COMPLIANCE AND GETTING THE MASK ORDER OUT THERE. WE'VE BEEN EXTREMELY ACTIVE. I THINK WE'RE THE ONLY MUNICIPAL -- WE ALSO HAD BIGGER NUMBERS AS WELL AS SEVEN APD CITATIONS. WE HAVE THE FIRE MARSHALS, CODE ENFORCEMENT AND APD WORKING ON THIS TOGETHER. ALSO, OVER THE WEEKED, APD RESPONDED TO 18 COMPLAINTS FOR PARTIES THAT VIOLATED THE PARTY ORDER. THEY RETURNED AN HOUR LATER AND THE GATHERINGS CAME INTO COMPLIANCE. OVER THE LAST SEVEN DAYS THERE HAVE BEEN 419 COMPLIANCE INTERACTIONS AND BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS. THAT'S JUST A WEEK. WE HAVE THE CUMULATIVE NUMBERS AS WELL. I THINK WE'RE AT 1,716 COMPLAINTS. 6,292 COMPLAINT INTERACTIONS. 740 WARNINGS AND 11 CITATIONS SINCE OUR ACTIVE ENFORCEMENT BEGAN WITH THAT ORDER THAT I THINK CAME OUT IN APRIL OR MAY. OUR COMPLIANCE TEAMS ARE OUT THERE EVERY DAY WORKING ON MASK ENFORCEMENT, MASS GATHERING ENFORCEMENT. WE ALWAYS LEAD WITH EDUCATION, WE OFFER MASKS TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE THEM. AND WE TRY TO DO A SWEEP AFTER TO MAKE SURE ANYBODY WE JUST GAVE A NOTICE TO HAS ACTUALLY COME INTO COMPLIANCE. THANK YOU. >>COUN. BENTON: THANK YOU, IT'S GOOD THAT WE'RE TAKING IT THAT SERIOUSLY. IN ALBUQUERQUE, WE'RE NOT INCLINED TO BE RATTING OUR NEIGHBORS, OR FELLOW CITIZENS, BUT PEOPLE SHOULD CALL 311 OR 242-COPS IF THERE'S A BIG ACTIVITY OF SOME KIND THAT CLEARLY SEEMS TO VIOLATE THE GATHERING ORDERS, CORRECT? >> 311 IS THE BEST ALTERNATIVE BECAUSE THEY WILL ROUTE THAT TO THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT, IF IT'S A RESTAURANT OR BAR THEY'LL TAKE THAT TO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH HAS AN OPEN LINE WITH THE ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. 311 IS YOUR BEST ALTERNATIVE FOR MASKS OR MASS GATHERING VIOLATIONS. >>COUN. BENTON: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR PEÑA, AND COUNCILOR BORREGO. AND WE'LL TRY TO CLOSE OUR Q&A. >>COUN. PEÑA: SINCE YOU ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT THE GROUP HOMES, I WAS WONDERING IF DIRECTOR WILLIAMS CAN STATE WHAT SOME OF THE NEW REGULATIONS ARE FOR THE IDO FOR GROUP HOMES AND IF YOU CAN SEND ME MORE INFORMATION ON IT OUTSIDE OF THIS MEETING. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >>COUN. DAVIS: I'LL GET DIRECTOR WILLIAMS BACK. ACTUALLY, MS. MORRIS HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. AND SHE HAS A GOOD BIT OF INFORMATION. I WAS ASKING TONIGHT IF HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET WHAT SHE NEEDED FOR HER WORK. WE'LL SURE THEY SEND YOU THAT. DIRECTOR WILLIAMS, IF YOU CAN RESPOND. >> COUNCILOR PEÑA, IF I CAN, LET ME GET YOU SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FIRST THING TOMORROW. I HAVE STAFF WORKING ON THIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH MS. MORRIS. THEY WILL BE MORE WELL VERSED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS CHANGED, MOVED, OR ADDED. >>COUN. PEÑA: OKAY. MR. PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR WILLIAMS. I WAS ASKING BECAUSE I WORK WITH THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED COMMUNITY. AS A RESULT OF THEM CLOSING DOWN THE INSTITUTIONS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEIR RIGHTS AREN'T BEING VIOLATED AS PART OF THIS. THEY OPERATE UNDER STRICT RULES, BUT I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED, I GUESS I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS BUT I'M CONCERNED KNOWING THAT PEOPLE ARE SCRUTINIZED FOR HAVING A GROUP HOME WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. SHE MIGHT WANT TO ADD SOMETHING TO THAT. >>COUN. DAVIS: MS. MORRIS, WELCOME IN. >> GOOD EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR PEÑA, YES I CAN CERTAINLY SEND YOU AN E-MAIL TOMORROW. JUST IN GENERAL, THE UPDATES ARE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE IDO IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FAIR HOUSING ACT. WE HAVE TWO CATEGORIES IN THE IDO. THE FACILITIES FOR THOSE WHO ARE A PROTECTIVE CLASS. THOSE ARE THE FOLKS WITH THE DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY. AND IN FACT, GROUP HOMES FOR ANYONE WHO IS NOT A PROTECTED CLASS. ANYONE NOT COVERED BY FAIR HOUSING ACT. I'LL SEND YOU AN EXTENSIVE E-MAIL EXPLAINING THAT. WE GOT OURSELVES UP TO DATE WITH THE FAIR HOUSING ACT AND WITH THE 2019 UPDATE. >>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU. IT'S JUST A HUGE RED FLAG FOR ME. I DON'T WANT NEIGHBORS COMING OUT AND BEING CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE JUST LIVING NORMAL LIVES. THANK YOU. >>COUN. DAVIS: AGREED. THANK YOU, I WOULD LOVE TO WORK ON THAT WITH YOU. IT'S ONE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL LAW, AS WELL. COUNCILOR BORREGO, YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. >>COUN. BORREGO: JUST REALLY QUICK, COUNCILOR, I'D LIKE TO ASK MS. NAIR TO SEND COUNCILOR BENTON THOSE NUMBERS SHE READ REGARDING THE MASK ENFORCEMENT. JUST TODAY I RECEIVED, IN MY DISTRICT, MARIPOSA PARK. I WANT TO THANK DAVE SIMON FOR WORKING SO FAST. OUR PARKS ARE A GREAT AREA TO WALK IN AND GET FRESH AIR. WE CAN'T VIOLATE OUR MASK ORDERS IN THOSE SACRED SPACES BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS. I JUST ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO WEAR THEIR MASKS IN OUR PARKS. THANK YOU. >>COUN. DAVIS: SEEING NO OTHER DISCUSSIONS. WE'LL MOVE TO FINAL ACTIONS. HERE'S WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS EVENING. IF WE STAY ON TRACK, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A TERRIBLY LONG AGENDA. WE'VE RECEIVED COMMENTS AND ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF THAT WE OUGHT TO WORK THROUGH THIS AGENDA THIS EVENING, PUSH STRAIGHT THROUGH. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO THAT THIS EVENING. I THINK THAT WILL NOT BE TOO HARD TO DO BY A REASONABLE HOUR. IF YOU NEED A BREAK OR STEP AWAY, PLEASE JUST DO THAT. WE'LL HOLD THINGS FOR YOU. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU FEEL LIKE WE NEED A DINNER BREAK, IF YOU WOULD LET ONE OF THE STAFF IN THE OFFICE KNOW AND THEY'LL LET ME KNOW. WE'LL DO THAT IF WE NEED IT. OTHERWISE, I THINK WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS SOONER THAN NORMAL. WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT IF WE KEEP OUR CONVERSATIONS TO THE MINIMUM AND TO THOSE NECESSARY. TO GET US STARTED, OUR VICE PRESIDENT HAS A MOTION. >>COUN. GIBSON: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I MOVE APPROVAL OF THE OCTOBER 19 JOURNAL. >>COUN. DAVIS: I SEE A NUMBER OF SECONDS. I'LL TAKE COUNCILOR SENA'S THIS TIME. >> COUNCILOR BASSAN. >> >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. [ROLL CALL TAKEN ]. >>COUN. DAVIS: WE'RE ON TO COMMUNICATIONS AND INTRODUCTIONS. THERE'S A NUMBER OF CHANGES TO THE INTRODUCTION. I'LL START WITH TWO THAT ARE HOUSEKEEPING. FIRST, MOVE THAT THE RULES BE SUS SUSPENDED FOR SPUTTING EC191. IT'S SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PERSONAL HEARING OFFICERS. WE NEED TWO THIRDS OF COUNCILORS PRESENT. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? THANK YOU, COUNCILOR GIBSON. SEEING NO OTHER DISCUSSION. I'M SORRY? SEEING NO OTHER DISCUSSION. >> COUNCILOR BASSAN. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >> COUNCILOR BENTON. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >> COUNCILOR BORREGO. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >> COUNCILOR GIBSON. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >> COUNCILOR HARRIS. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >> COUNCILOR JONES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >> COUNCILOR PEÑA. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >> COUNCILOR SENA. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: NEXT I MOVE THE RULES BE SUSPENDED FOR OC15. AS YOU REMEMBER ONE OF THE CANDIDATES -- DO WE HAVE A SECOND. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR JONES. COUNCILORS ANY DISCUSSION. I SEE NONE. I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLE. >> COUNCILOR BASSAN. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >> COUNCILOR BENTON. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. >> 9-0, THANK YOU. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR SENA, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A MOTION. >>COUN. SENA: I MOVE THE RULES BE SUSPENDED FOR PLACING R-109 FOR ACTION. IT'S AMENDING THE AGGREGATE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR THE ECONOMIC RELIEF PROVIDED TO SMALL AND LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IMPACTED BY THE CORONAVIRUS. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR SENA. I SEE COUNCILOR BENTON HAS OFFERED A SECOND. I HAVE A QUESTION, IF THERE'S NO OTHER. WOULD THE SPONSOR ALLOW ME TO ASK A QUICK QUESTION? COUNCILOR, WONDER, I REALIZE THE FIRST ROUND OF APPLICATIONS COMPLETED ON FRIDAY, THERE WERE 600 APPLICANTS. I CAN'T KNOW SECOND ROUND IS OPEN NEXT WEEK. I WONDER IF THE SPONSOR WILL HAVE THIS HELD OVER UNTIL THE MEETING OF THE 16 SO THE TWO ROUNDS WILL BE COMPLETE AND WE KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. AND THAT WOULD BE A BETTER WAY TO MANAGE THOSE DOLLARS. IN OTHER WORDS, I PREFER A NORMAL HOLD OVER. I YIELD TO THE SPONSOR. >>COUN. SENA: THANK YOU FOR THAT, MR. PRESIDENT. I WANT THIS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION AS IT WAS SET FOR THE SECOND AND THIRD ROUND. THOSE THAT DID APPLY THAT DIDN'T QUALIFY, THEY WOULD WE MOVED INTO THE QUEUE FURTHER. I WANT THIS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION SO THE SECOND AND THIRD ROUNDS CAN HAVE THE SAME OBLIGATION. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. I THINK WE ALLOW DIRECTOR JARAMILLO COME IN AT THE COUNCILOR'S REQUEST. DIRECTOR, ARE YOU STILL WITH US? >> CAN YOU HEAR ME? YOU CAN'T SEE MY VIDEO. >>COUN. DAVIS: WE CAN HEAR YOU. >> WONDERFUL. >>COUN. DAVIS: DIRECTOR, DID YOU HEAR THE QUESTION? WE'RE ASKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROPER TIMING IF THIS IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE 16th. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. COUNCILOR SENA, WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT AN AMENDMENT BE APPROVED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT SECOND AND THIRD ROUNDS WOULD BE TOO DIFFICULT FOR US TO DEPLOY THE FUNDING. AGAIN, JUST A REMINDER, THERE'S INCREASED RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE MONEY OUT OF THE DOOR IN TIME FOR THE DECEMBER 30th DEADLINE. MY DEPARTMENT REALLY DOES NOT HAVE THAT CAPACITY, CURRENTLY. WE REQUEST THE AMENDMENT TO BE APPROVED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. >>COUN. DAVIS: I SAW A QUESTION FROM COUNCILOR BASSAN AND WE'LL GO TO COUNCILOR SENA TO RESPOND TO BOTH. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I WAS GOING TO REFRAIN FROM COMMENTARY UNTIL WE'VE DECIDED IF THIS WAS GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FOR DISCUSSION FURTHER LATER ON. I WOULD RATHER THE SPONSOR OF THE ORIGINAL BILL, THIS WAS A METRIC PROVIDED BY THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT COUNCIL KNOWS AND THE PUBLIC KNOWS, WHEN THIS IS DEVELOPED, DIRECTOR JARAMILLO, I HAVEN'T HEARD YOU SINCE I CALLED YOU, BUT THE METRIC PROVIDED TO US WAS WHEN I ASKED HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD WE BE ASKING FOR SMALL BUSINESS RELIEF USING THE CARES FUNDING. I ALSO MADE SURE TO INCLUDE IN THAT THAT THE METRIC THAT IS GIVEN TO ME NEEDS TO NOT BE A ROUND NUMBER. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT'S FOR. CAN YOU HEAR ME? I WAS TOLD THAT BASED OFF OF THE NUMBER OF MICROGRANTS NOT APPROVED BECAUSE OF THE FUNDING RUNNING OUT, THERE'S 1400 BUSINESSES THAT WERE EFFECTED BUT DID NOT RECEIVE THE GRANT FUNDING. IF WE WERE TO UP THE $5,000 AMOUNT FROM THE MICRO GRANTS WHICH WAS DETERMINED TO BE A MINIMAL AMOUNT, WE WANTED TO GIVE MORE FUNDING. $10,000 WAS THE DESIRE WHICH WOULD THEREFORE HELP 1,,000 BUSINESSES. WE WERE REASSURED THAT IT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF WORK. 1,000 BUSINESSES WAS THE AMOUNT THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WAS PREPARED TO DELIVER MONEY TO. WE WERE APPROACHED BY THE ADMINISTRATION TO ASK US IF WE WOULD SUPPORT RAISING THE CAP TO $20,000, AT WHICH POINT COUNCILOR JONES AND I SAID YES, WE WOULD SUPPORT THAT, AFTER WE WAITED. AFTER WE WAITED FOR THE FIRST ROUND OR TWO. WHERE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS WHERE THE BACKSTORY IS NECESSARY. IF WE CAN HAVE MORE TIME TO SEE HOW MANY APPLICATIONS COME THROUGH, WE CAN REEVALUATE IF WE NEED TO CONTINUE ON OR NOT. >>COUN. DAVIS: BEFORE I DO THAT, COUNCILOR GIBSON WANTS TO TAKE POINT OF ORDER. >>COUN. GIBSON: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. COUNCILORS, IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION, WE HAVE TO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. WE'VE PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS DISCUSS THIS, LET'S DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. I MAKE A MOTION. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR GIBSON, I APPRECIATE THAT. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR, COUNCILOR SENA HAS A MOTION FOR THE SUSPENSION OF THE RULES. THAT WAS SECONDED BY COUNCILOR BENTON, SO THE DISCUSSION IS ABOUT WHETHER IT'S APPROPRIATE TO DO THIS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION THIS EVENING. FOR THE MOMENT, I THINK THE CONVERSATION IS FOCUSED APPROPRIATELY THERE. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING US TO KEEP IT THERE. I WANT TO GIVE DIRECTOR JARAMILLO A CHANCE TO RESPOND AND WE'LL GO BACK TO COUNCILOR SENA. >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BASSAN, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY. COUNCILOR BASSAN, I DO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU AND COUNCILOR JONES WERE CREATING THE PROGRAM, AND AGAIN COUNCILOR BASSAN AND COUNCILOR JONES GET THE CREDIT FOR ALLOWING THE $10 MILLION TO BE GRANTED TO BUSINESSES. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS A STAFF CONVERSATION BETWEEN COUNCIL STAFF AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STAFF IS WHERE THAT $10,000 AMOUNT CAME FROM. ONCE WE LEARNED AND DEPLOYED AND ANNOUNCED THE PROGRAM, WE LEARNED IMMEDIATELY. I RECEIVED OVER 25 PHONE CALLS DIRECTLY. MY DEPARTMENT HAS RECEIVED OVER 100 CALLS FROM BUSINESSES THAT WERE CONCERNED IMMEDIATELY. THE PROBLEM WITH THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT AS IT EXISTS TODAY, WHICH WE LEARNED ONCE WE DEPLOYED THIS ROUND OF FUNDING, THAT HAVING TO CROSS REFERENCE ALL GRANT PROGRAMS WE DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY. SMALLER GRANTS OFFERED BY THE CITY ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE OR PUBLISHED. WE DON'T HAVE A LIST FROM BERNALILLO COUNTY. IT'S JUST MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO CAUSE REFERENCE ALL GRANT PROGRAMS. THE CONCERN OF INCREASED RANGE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE MONEY OUT OF THE DOOR IN TIME FOR THAT DECEMBER 30th DEADLINE IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE STRUGGLING WITH AS A DEPARTMENT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ISSUE THAT WE KNOW WE'LL BE IN ROUND THREE. IT SEEMS TO BE APPROPRIATE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF MONEY WE HAVE AVAILABLE. I'LL CLOSE MY QUESTION OR GIVE IT BACK TO THE COUNCILOR FOR THE MOTION OF IMMEDIATE ACTION ON R-109. >>COUN. SENA: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR JARAMILLO. IF WE DON'T ACT ON THIS TODAY OVER 117 BUSINESSES WILL GET A LETTER THAT THEY WERE TO DISQUALIFIED. IFOPE WE IF WE OPEN THIS AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TELL THEM TO REAPPLY LATER. WITH ALL OF THE COVID RESPONSE WE HAVE BEEN VOTING FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. I THINK THAT FOLLOWS THAT LINE. I BELIEVE IT'S URGENT THAT WE VOTE AND ACT ON THIS TODAY BECAUSE WE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE SECOND AND THIRD ROUND AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS TODAY AND ACT ON IT TODAY, IT'S BASED ON NEED. THE FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD ROUNDS WILL GO THROUGH, BUT THE FOLKS THAT MET THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT STILL GETS BACK INTO THE QUEUE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO REAPPLY. THEY DON'T GET THE DISQUALIFICATION LETTERS, SO THEY DON'T GET DISCOURAGED TO ACT ON IT LETTER. IF THEY GET A LETTER OF DISQUALIFICATION, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO REAPPLY LATER ON WHEN WE HAVE THE FUNDING AND WE VIEW IT LIKE A FOURTH ROUND LIKE THE COUNTY DID. I THINK THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO ACT ON THIS TODAY AND WHY IT'S SO URGENT TO PASS THIS. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR JONES, THAT WAS A CLOSE. WE'VE BEEN ALLOWING COUNCILORS TO JUMP IN BECAUSE OF THE DIGITAL THING. WE'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND THAT WILL ALLOW COUNCILOR SENA TO RESPOND. AND WE HAVE COUNCILOR BORREGO, THIS HAS TO BE ON MOTION FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. COUNCILOR JONES, COUNCILOR BORREGO, AND COUNCILOR SENA. >>COUN. JONES: I APPRECIATE COUNCILOR SENA'S PASSION. IF WE JUST -- WE HAVE THOUSANDS, I'M SURE WHO NEED HELP. AND $10,000 IS A BIG HELP. TO JUMP IMMEDIATELY TO 20 WE PUT OURSELVES IN A POSITION WHERE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED NUMBERS AND HELP WILL GO AHEAD OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ANY YET. IF WE GO THE WAY THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE SECOND AND THIRD ROUND AND EVERYONE WILL GET AN AT THIS. I THINK WE NEED TO HELP AS MANY OF THE BUSINESSES AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. THAT MEANS WE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND HAVE THEM APPLY THE WAY WE SET FOR THEM. COUNCILOR SENA, I CANNOT SUPPORT YOUR -- >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR BORREGO. >>COUN. BORREGO: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. JUST TO COMPLICATE THINGS A LITTLE MORE, ONE OF THE E-MAILS THAT I RECEIVED TODAY FROM SOME OF MY CONSTITUENTS ARE WITH REGARD TO AMENDING IT TO INCLUDE NON-PROFITS. NOW, I THINK THAT WE APPROVED SOMETHING AT OUR LAST MEETING AND NOW WE'RE CHANGING THE RULES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. IT'S VERY CONFUSING TO DO THAT TO BUSINESSES. FOR THAT REASON, I'M NOT EVEN SURE HOW I'M GOING TO RESPOND TO THE NON-PROFITS BECAUSE THEY'RE ASKING WHY AREN'T THEY INCLUDED IN THIS. I THINK WE APPROVED SOMETHING AT OUR LAST MEETING AND WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. IF WE CAN DEFER FOR TWO WEEKS, I THINK WE CAN STILL ADDRESS SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES. I'M GOING TO BE SUPPORTING A DEFERRAL. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR BORREGO. AS PROMISED, SEEING NO OTHER COMMENTS I'LL CLOSE MINE AND GO BACK TO THE SPONSOR. FOR THE MOTION FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION, I SUPPORT RAISING THE CAP AND ALLOWING BUSINESSES TO REAPPLY ONCE WE KNOW THAT EVERYBODY HAS HAD A FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO. LIKE COUNCILOR BORREGO, I RECEIVED COMMENTS FROM BUSINESSES FROM THE INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT WHO LEARNED ABOUT IT IN THE PAPER ON SUNDAY AFTER THE APPLICATIONS HAD CLOSED. THEY WERE NOT ELIGIBLE ORIGINALLY FOR THE EARLY GRANTS BAH THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO OPEN AT FIRST. A BARBERSHOP FOR EXAMPLE. I THINK THE POINT WAS TO ENSURE EVERYBODY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE. WE OUTLINED THE ECONOMIC DEPARTMENT OUTLINED THREE ROUNDS OF FUNDING. WE COMPLETED ONE. I THINK IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO COMPLETE THE SECOND BEFORE DOING SO. I UNDERSTAND THE SPONSOR'S NEED. THAT'S WHY WE'LL HAVE THE DEBATE ON THE MOTION. WE'LL GO BACK TO THE SPONSOR AND WE'LL GO TO THE VOTE FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. >>COUN. SENA: I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS DIDN'T COME OUT OF NOWHERE. HEARING THAT MANY OF THEM WOULDN'T GET TO APPLY OR THAT THROUGH THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL OF EVEN MEETING WITH SOME OF THE AMERICORPS, WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO GET THIS TRANSLATED. THIS IS RESPONSE TO THE CONCERNS. THIS WAS A SOLUTION TO THAT AND HOPING WE CAN MITIGATE THE ISSUES PEOPLE ARE FACING AND STREAMLINE IN ROUND TWO AND ROUND THREE. THAT'S WHY I URGE FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR, FOR THOSE FOLLOWING ALONG AT HOME TWO THIRDS MUST VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. >>COUN. BASSAN: NO. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: NO. >>COUN. GIBSON: NO. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: NO. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: NO. >> THAT FAILS ON A 4-5 VOTE. >>COUN. DAVIS: FOR THE RULES, THIS ITEM WILL BE REFERRED TO THE FINANCE AND GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE WHICH MEANS NEXT FRIDAY. IF THEY VOTE AND PASS IT UNANIMOUSLY IT'S ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NOVEMBER 16 AGENDA FOR THE FULL COUNCIL. NEXT UP, COUNCILOR BORREGO. R-111. >>COUN. BORREGO: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. R-111 I MOVE THE RULES BE SUSPENDED AND PLACE IT OWN THE NOVEMBER 16 COUNCIL AGENDA FOR ACTION. IT'S EXTENDING THE COUNCIL'S APPRECIATION FOR THE PROFESSIONALISM OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE'S EMPLOYEES FOR ADDRESSING THE COMPLEX CHALLENGES THEY'RE ENCOUNTERING, ACKNOWLEDGING THE EFFORTS OF CITY EMPLOYEES TO MAINTAIN -- TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITY EMPLOYEE OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN CERTIFICATIONS AND DEAGREES AND REQUIRING A FINAL REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. BASICALLY, WHAT THIS DOES IS SUPPORTS EMPLOYEES EFFORTS DURING COVID-19 AND BEYOND TO OBTAIN A PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENT. THAT INCLUDES DEGREED AND CERTIFICATION. ALSO, LOOKS AT POSSIBILITIES FOR TRAINING FOR FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AND APPRECIATING THEM. THANK YOU. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS PLACE IT ON THE NOVEMBER 16th AGENDA. IS THERE A SECOND? COUNCILOR SENA, THANK YOU. COUNCILORS, ANY DISCUSSION FOR THE MOTION? >>COUN. BASSAN: IF THIS WASN'T APPROVED FOR THE NOVEMBER 16th, WHEN WHERE WOULD IT GO? WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE? >>COUN. DAVIS: I'M GOING TO ASK THE CLERK TO EXPLAIN, IT WILL GO THROUGH THE NORMAL PROCESS OF COMMITTEE AND DEPENDING ON HOW THE COMMITTEE ACTS. MADAM CLERK. >> MR. PRESIDENT, GIVEN THAT THE MOTION IS FOR LATE INTRODUCTION, IF THE MOTION FAILS THIS MATTER CAN BE INTRODUCED AT A NORMAL PROCESS IN THE SUBSEQUENT MEETING. IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE IMMEDIATE ACTION THAT WE WERE JUST CONSIDERING. >>COUN. DAVIS: TO CLARIFY, IF IT FAILS IT WOULD GO ON THE 16th? >> CORRECT. >>COUN. BORREGO: CAN I JUST INFORM THAT THE COUNCIL AT THIS POINT THERE'S NOT A FISCAL IMPACT REGARDING THIS BILL. THE TASKFORCE WOULD BE RECOMMENDING ANY FISCAL IMPACT SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE IT FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. >>COUN. DAVIS: I THINK THIS IS NOT FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION, BUT FOR LATE INTRODUCTION. IT WOULD BYPASS THE COMMITTEE PROCESS. >>COUN. BORREGO: RIGHT. >>COUN. DAVIS: ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? SEEING NONE. I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES:S YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. >> 9-0. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR BENTON. >>COUN. BENTON: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, I MOVE THE RULES BE SUSPENDED FOR INTRODUCING R-112 AND PLACE IT ON NOVEMBER 16th. ITS APPROVING THE TRANSIT DEPARTMENT PROGRAM FOR SUBMISSION TO THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION. >>COUN. DAVIS: I'LL SECOND THAT ALONG WITH COUNCILOR BASSAN. SEEING NO OTHER DISCUSSION. PLEASE CALL THE VOTE. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN.

I WAS MUTED. I MOVE THE APPROVAL OF THE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR BORREGO HAS OFFERED A SECOND. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. >> 9-0. >>COUN. DAVIS: REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. COUNCILOR SENA. >>COUN. SENA: THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MET ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 27 AND REPORTS OUT OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. EC185. I MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MEET REPORTS. >>COUN. DAVIS: I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. I'LL USE COUNCILOR BASSAN'S MOTION. MADAM CLERK. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. >> 9-0. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILORS ANY OTHER DEFERRALED OR WITHDRAWALS FROM TONIGHT'S AGENDA? GOING ONCE, AND TWICE.

FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS ON TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA WHO ARE BEING APPOINTED SERVE ON A BOARD OF COMMISSION AND YOU'RE WATCHING FROM HOME THANK YOU. WE HOPE TO HAVE YOU IN PERSON. UNTIL THEN WE APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE THE CITY. ON A PERSONAL NOTE I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ON ONE ITEM OF CONSENT TO MR. PADILLA AND THE MAYOR'S ECONOMIC DEPARTMENT AND OUR OFFICE WORKING SO HARD FOR THE HALF-MILLION DOLLAR FUND TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS, PARTICULARLY ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE WITH THE NEW MARKETING PROGRAM. IT WAS AN ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED PRE-COVID-19. WE'RE HOPING THIS COMES JUST IN TIME FOR HAD HOLIDAYS WHEN BUSINESSES NEED HELP. MADAM VIS PRESIDENT, I THINK YOU HAVE A MOTION. >>COUN.

WE'LL MOVE TO APPROVALS. FIRST IS EC144. I MOVE APPROVAL. DO I HAVE A SECOND. I HEARD COUNCILOR GIBSON. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? I KNOW THE ADMINISTRATION IS PREPARED TO ANSWER ANY IF WE HAVE ANY. I UNDERSTAND THE ADMINISTRATION, GO AHEAD COUNCILOR BENTON, YOU WERE GOING TO GO WHERE I WAS GOING. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR BENTON, CHECK YOUR MIKE ON YOUR END. >>COUN. BENTON: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE OUTCOME, WE'VE HEARD THIS FOR A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE UNION REPRESENTATIVES AND THE ADMINISTRATION. >>COUN. DAVIS: DIRECTOR SANCHEZ, I SEE YOU THERE. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. COUNCILOR BENTON, YES WE HAVE REALLY PRODUCTIVES -- CONVERSATIONS WITH THE UNION. WE HAVE THE MOU THAT'S BEEN DRAFTED. AND I THINK EVERYBODY IS ON THE SAME PAGE AND WE HAVE A LOT OF ADDITIONAL HELPFUL CONVERSATIONS ALONG THE WAY. ALL IN ALL IT WAS GOOD TO TAKE A STEP BACK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>COUN. BENTON: JUST ONE OTHER, MORE OF AN ASIDE, WE APPRECIATE THE ADVOCACY OF THE BIO PARK SOCIETY. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE HISTORICALLY HAD ISSUES WITH THE BIO PARK. I'M SURE THE DIRECTOR IS WELL FAMILIAR WITH THIS. AROUND PARKING, YEARS AGO IT WAS CENTERED AROUND BARELLAS WITH THE GATHERINGS. MORE RECENTLY IT'S ON THE RIVER OF LIGHTS. OTHER NEEDS FOR PARKING IN THE GENERAL AREA OF THE -- I GUESS WE CALL IT THE BIO PARK NORTH FACILITIES. I REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE BIO PARK SOCIETY TO WORK WITH WAS AS WE WORK WITH NEIGHBORHOODS TO SOLVE SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE BIO PARK NORTH, TO CALL IT THAT, HAS A PRETTY NICE PARKING LOT. IT'S NOT A PARKING LOT FOR THE RIVER OF LIGHTS. FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR IT'S A LARGE LOT. WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER ACTIVITIES GOING ON IN THAT GENERAL AREA AND TRYING TO REVITALIZE WEST CENTRAL. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE IN THE SOCIETY TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO ALL WORK TOGETHER, THESE ARE PUBLIC FACILITIES, AND PARKING IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT ALWAYS CAN BE CHALLENGE. WE ALSO HAVE A GOOD PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM THAT ONCE THE PANDEMIC SLOWS DOWN WE'LL BE ABLE TO SERVE THESE AREAS WELL. I JUST WANT TO APPRECIATE THE BIO PARK SOCIETY, BUT POINT OUT THAT WE'LL NEED TO HAVE CONTINUING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SHARING FACILITIES AND RESPECTING THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE BIO PARK. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, SIR. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FROM COUNCILORS? SEEING NONE. I'LL ASK FOR A ROLL. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN.

THIS IS SLIDS ONE OF THE ISSUES WE SEE WITH A LOT O FAKE I.D.s AND A GREAT DEAL OF FRAUD THAT HAPPENS INHE CIY. SO, KNOWING THAHAWE'VE HAD AOT OF PEOPLE THATT DO THIS CRIMEME INVOLVING FRAUDUD IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT WITHOU HAVING AN IMAGE OF THE PERSON PAWNING THE ITEM. NEXT SLIDE. THIS JUST HIGHLIGHTS HOW THIS ORDINANCNCE COULD BENEFIT THAT. WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY LOOK AT THE IDENTICATION THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING. BUT HAVING AN ACTUAL PERSON OF THE ITEM ANDND PERSON WOULD ALL US TO COMPARE THOSE THINGS AND GET A MORE ACCURATE, OR NOT ACCURATE, MUCH GREATER EVIDENTIARYALUE THAN JUST THE PHOTOGRAPH. ADDITIONALLY, WITH LOT OF ITEMS, THERE'S A DESCRIPTION GIVEN. SO, JEWELLERS, WE HAVE A LOT OF JEWELRY STOLEN. IN THOSE CASES, A LOT OF TIMES THE PAWNSHOP WILL PUT OLD RING. OR YOU'LL SEE MULTIPLE ITEMS OF JEWELRY DESCRIBED AS SCRAP JEWELRY. THIS WILL PROVIDE PICTURES FOR IT, IN A LOT OF CASES WHERE WE HAVE JEWELRY TAKEN THEY HAVE A HIGH VALUE TO THE OWNER SO THEY HAVE PICTURES OF IT, WE CAN COMPARE THE PICTURES WITH THE POTENTIAL ITEMS THAT WERE SOLD AT PAWN. THEY WOULD ALSO ALLOW US TO HANDLE SOME OF THE CASES THAT WOULD IDENTIFY THE ITEM FASTER. RIGHT NOW WE CAN HAVE AN ITEM SOLD AND PUT IT ON HOLD. AND WE CAN VERIFY IF THAT IS THE STOLEN ITEM OR NOT. THIS WOULD HELP US TO LOOK AT THE ITEM FASTER. ALSO GOING INTO ISSUES WITH SERIAL NUMBERS. HAVING A PICTURE WITH SERIAL NUMBERS CAN BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO US. A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT'S STOLEN FROM STORES AND PAWNED, UNFORTUNATELY A LOT OF THOSE STORES AREN'T TRACKING THE SERIAL NUMBER FOR THE ITEMS. HAVING THE PICTURES INTEREST THE PERSON TAKING THEM WOULD BE BENEFICIAL, IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE TAKING SOMETHING FROM THE STORE WE HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE, AND A FEW HOURS LATER THEY GO TO THE PAWNSHOP AND SELL THE ITEM. THAT'S HELPED US TIE THOSE CASES TOGETHER. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE AWARE OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO DO WITH THE ORDER CURRENTLY. RIGHT NOW FOR THE UPON UNIT THERE'S ONE DETECTIVE THAT IS FULLY DEDICATED TO THIS DETAIL. RIGHT NOW, WE ONLY HAVE 15 PAWNSHOPS. EVEN THOUGH IT'S DIFFICULT FOR HER AND SHE WORKS HARD, (INAUDIBLE). WE CAN HAVE UP TO 150 BUSINESSES. THAT WOULD CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF CASES WE'RE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE AND THE REGULATION FOR SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO. WE CURRENTLY CONDUCT INSPECTION ON THE CONTRACTS. WHEN WE DO THAT OUR DETECTIVE HAS TO USUALLY GET HELP FROM ANOTHER DETECTIVE THAT HAS TO STOP WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND ASSIST HER WITH THAT. IT TAKES US TWO TO THREE WEEKS RIGHT NOW. WITH THIS, IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED MORE WORK. BASED OFF OF THE AMOUNT OF STOLEN PROPERTY WE SEE IN THE REGULATORY DUTIES, YOU CAN ADD FOUR ADDITIONAL DETECTIVES TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE DOING THE FULL ORDINANCE. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. >>COUN. GIBSON: THANK YOU, SERGEANT. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR GIBSON, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER GUEST? >>COUN. GIBSON: WE HAVE ONE MORE PRESENTATION THAT I'D LIKE TO PUT UP BEFORE THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. WOULD THAT BE ALL RIGHT, MR. PRESIDENT? >>COUN. DAVIS: SURE, GO AHEAD. >>COUN. GIBSON: THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE MR. STEVE -- HE'S WITH HOME DEPOT. AND HAS BEEN WITH US BEFORE TALKING WITH THE FGO A FEW YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS BILL AND THE NEED FOR IT. HE'S AN ASSET PROTECTION MANAGEMENT WITH THE STORES. >> GOOD EVENING, GOOD EVENING COUNCILORS, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY. I'D LIKE TO START OUT, I'M A FORMER POLICE OFFICER DETECTIVE SERGEANT. I WAS INVOLVED, WE INVESTIGATED WHITE CALLER, NARCOTICS, AND BURGLARY. NOW, FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR HOME DEPOT. I RESPOND TO THE STORES IN ALBUQUERQUE GALLUP FARMINGTON DURANGO, SANTA FE AND LOS LUNAS. I WANT TO SHARE THE SHRINK NUMBERS FROM THEFT IN THE CITY. LAST YEAR, AT 3507 WHICH IS COORS AND I-40, WE'VE LOST $700,000 IN HARDWARE WITH TOOLS AND HARDWARE. THAT WASN'T THE EXCEPTION, THAT WAS THE RULE. THE STORE ON RENAISSANCE LOST $400,000. ON EUBANK THAT'S LOST $700,000. THE TAX REVENUE BEING LOST IS HUGE. WE'VE TRACED, WORKING WITH THE OCU TEAM WITH THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WITH OUR OWN IN-HOUSE ORC TEAM, WHICH FUNCTIONS TO ATTACK ORGANIZED RETAIL CRIME, WE'VE TRACED A LOT OF OUR TOOLS TO PAWNSHOPS. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE PAWNSHOPS ARE DOING -- THEY'RE DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING FOR THEIR BUSINESS. IF WE CAN HAVE SOME HELP IN REGULATING HOW THE MERCHANDISE GOES ACROSS COUNTER TO THEM, IT WILL HELP OUR ORC AND OCU UNITS IDENTIFY THESE SUSPECTS AND ENABLE US TO FURTHER PROSECUTION. WE'RE JUST BLEEDING OUT, AS FAR AS DEBT IS CONCERNED. JUST THREE DAYS AGO, WE HAD A MAN AND WOMAN COME INTO OUR STORE AT COORS AND I-40, RIGHT BEFORE CLOSING THEY ENTERED THE HARDWARE DEPARTMENT, I'M SURE MOST OF YOU KNOW WE'VE BLOCKED UP THE POWERTOOLS BEHIND CAGES. THEY RIPPED THE CAGE RIGHT OFF THE TOOLS AND GRABBED A BASKET FULL OF MILWAUKEE TOOLS AND THEY CHARGED PAST THE ASSOCIATE AND THE ASSOCIATE ENDED UP GETTING TANGLED WITH A LARGE GUY. HE GOT THROWN TO THE GROUND. AND THEY RAN OUT OF THE DOOR. MY TEAM, MY ASSET PROTECTION SPECIALIST WHOSE MAIN FUNCTION IS TO STOP SHOPLIFTERS. WE CAN NO LONGER PUT HANDS ON. THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS TRY TO GET LAW ENFORCEMENT INVOLVED. THEY TRY TO TRACK THEM DOWN AFTER THE FACT. SOME OF THEM DO, ONCE THEY STOP BY, WE PROVIDE INFORMATION. ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I WAS STOPPING A SHOPLIFTER FROM RUNNING OUT, HE HAD BEEN A PROLIFIC SHOPLIFTER AND HE STOPPED ME IN THE KIDNEY. THESE ARE VERY VIOLENT, DISPARATE PEOPLE. ANYTHING THAT YOU COUNCILORS CAN DO TO HELP US PROSECUTE THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO THE CITY. A BENEFIT TO THE ASSOCIATES, DO YOU KNOW THAT LAST YEAR WE HAD A 125 SERIOUS INCIDENTS IN THE FOUR STORES IN ALBUQUERQUE? A SERIOUS INNOCENT IS CLASSIFIED AS A SUSPECT USING PEPPER SPRAY, KNIFE, WEAPON OR ANY KIND OF THREAT TO USE A WEAPON ON OUR ASSOCIATESES WITH THEY WERE FLEEING WITH OUR PRODUCTS. OUR ASSOCIATES AREN'T TRYING TO ASSOCIATE THESE PEOPLE, THEY'RE JUST PULLING OUT WEAPONS AS THEY WALK OUT THE DOOR. THE MERCHANDISE THEY'RE RUNNING OUT OF THE DOOR WITH IS GETTING MOVED THROUGH PAWNSHOPS, GETTING MOVED THROUGH eCOMMERCE SUCH AS FACEBOOK AND THOSE TYPE OF PLACES. IF THIS ORDINANCE WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN HELPING JEFF AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROSECUTE THESE PEOPLE AND MAKE IT A SAFER PLACE TO SHOP. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>COUN. DAVIS: WE THANK YOU. I SEE WE HAVE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCILORS. WE'LL ASK YOU TO STAY ON AS LONG AS YOU CAN. COUNCILOR PEÑA. >>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I THINK YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION AS YOU WERE SPEAKING. IT'S THE HOME DEPOT POLICY NOT TO INTERACT WITH ANYBODY SHOPLIFTING? >> MY PEOPLE WILL APPROACH THEM, BUT THEY CAN'T PHYSICALLY INTERACTION. THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVESES WITH AN I.D., AND THEY TELL THEM WHO THEY ARE, AND THEY ASK THEM TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND RETURN THE ITEM. IF IT'S OVER $100 WE WILL CONTACT P.D. MY GUYS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB WITH THESE HANDS OFF. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE, THEY JUST TAKE OFF INTO THE PARKING LOT. >>COUN. PEÑA: WE WERE AT A HOME DEPOT, AND WE WERE TOLD BY STAFF, WE HAD SEEN A MAN WHO HAD A BASKET FULL OF STUFF AND WE WERE TOLD BY STAFF THAT THE POLICY IS NOT TO DO ANYTHING. HE JUST OPENED THE DOOR AND WENT OUT OF THE DOOR. OBVIOUSLY, THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT YOUR EMPLOYEES IN ANY DANGER. I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE A POLICY LIKE THAT. BUT, HAVE YOU WORKED WITH APD TO LOOK AT INVENTORY CONTROLS IN TERMS, LIKE YOU SAID YOU HAVE SOME OF THE ITEMS LOCKED UP, BETTER CONTROL. IT TURNS INTO BEING A HUGE INVESTMENT FOR HOME DEPOT, BUT IF YOU'RE LOSING $400,000 A YEAR, IT TEAMS LIKE WORKING WITH APD TO COME UP WITH A BETTER PLAN FOR INVENTORY CONTROL. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE STEALING. I'M JUST SAYING THAT WHEN PEOPLE KNOW IT'S YOUR POLICY NOT TO STOP ANYONE, YOU BECOME A TARGET. THAT'S UNFORTUNATE. >> WE DO HAVE MERCHANDISE PROTECTION DEVICES. WE LIMIT OUR PRODUCT ON THE SHELF. WE CAGE SOME OF THE PRODUCTS, WE LOCK SOME OF THE PRODUCTS UP. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THESE BOOSTERS ARE DOING THE WORK FOR OTHER PEOPLE. AND THEY'RE MOVING THESE THINGS SO THAT THESE BOOSTERS CAN GET SOME. USUALLY IT'S FOR DRUGS. IF WE LOCK UP EVERYTHING TO A POINT WHERE IT CANNOT BE ACCESSED AT ALL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SURVIVE AS A COMPANY. WHAT WE END UP DOING IS WE TRY TO GET A BALANCE BETWEEN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PRODUCT PROTECTION. I CAN TELL YOU THIS FROM MY EXPERIENCE, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS ALL MY ADULT LIVE I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. ONCE YOU DESTROY OR NEGATE THE PLACE WHERE THEY CAN SELL IT, ONCE YOU STOP THAT CHAIN, JUST LIKE WITH BURGLARIES, WHEN YOU HIT THE PLACE THAT MOVER THE ILLEGAL PRODUCT. AND THEY HAVE NO PLACE TO MOVE THAT MERCHANDISE, YOU SEE A RAPID DECLINE IN THE AMOUNT OF BURGLARIES. THE SAME THING WITH OUR LOSS AND SHOPLIFTERS. IF WE MAKE IT HARDER FOR THEM TO MOVE STOLEN ITEMS THROUGH A LEGITIMATE STOREFRONT, IF WE MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE CRIMINALS TO MOVE THAT ITEM, THEN WE'RE GOING TO SEE A REDUCTION IN THE THEFTS FROM OUR STORE. DID I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MA'AM? >>COUN. PEÑA: MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU. YOU PRETTY MUCH ANSWERED THE QUESTION. I JUST LOVE FOR YOU TO WORK WITH APD TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE DETERRENTS. THIS IS RELATE TODAY THE FUND ORDINANCE. I SEE WHERE YOUR CONCERN IS. FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AS A WHOLE, I'D LOVE FOR PRIVATE BUSINESSES TO WORK WITH APD FOR SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, AT MINIMUM. WHETHER IT'S AT THE PAWNSHOPS OR WHETHER IT'S SOME OTHER AVENUE THEY'RE GOING TO FIND THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE. I SEE IT, I'M A CRAIGS LIST KIND OF GIRL. YOU CAN TELL THAT LOTS OF THAT IS GOING THROUGH CRAIG'S LIST AS WELL. THIS ORDINANCE DOESN'T ADDRESS THAT. I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT A PARTNERSHIP. >> YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR PEÑA. NEXT WE HAVE COUNCILOR BORREGO, AND COUNCILOR BASSAN, AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS BY THE SPONSOR BEFORE WE GET TO FINAL ACTION. COUNCILOR BORREGO, YOU'RE NEXT. >>COUN. BORREGO: THANK YOU. SO, COUNCILOR GIBSON, I'M NOT SURE WHO THIS QUESTION WOULD GO TO. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. ONE IS RELATED TO THE KIOSK, WHICH NOT CERTAIN WHAT THAT IS. I READ IT AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. SHORT OF NOT KNOWING THAT. THE SECOND QUESTION IS REGARD TO THE BOND MENTIONED IN THE BILL. WHAT IS THE AMOUNT OF THE BOND? I DON'T BELIEVE THE BILL ACTUALLY SAID WHAT THE AMOUNT WAS. >>COUN. GIBSON: THOSE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS. I THINK OUR STAFF ATTORNEY IS PROBABLY THE BEST ONE TO ADDRESS THOSE. >> THANK YOU. I'LL START WITH YOUR SECOND QUESTION FIRST. THE BILL DOES REFERENCE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A $5,000 BOND. THAT IS ONLY FOR PAWNBROKERS. KEEP THAT IN MIND. AND THE REASON FOR THAT -- >>COUN. BORREGO: DOES THE STATE ALSO REQUIRE A BOND? >> MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR BORREGO YES. THAT IS THE SOURCE OF THAT. THEY'RE NOT TWO SEPARATE BONDS. IT IS A ONE BOND REQUIRED BY THE STATE LAW THAT IS JUST ECHOED IN THE CITY'S ORDINANCE. >>COUN. BORREGO: THAT CLARIFIES THAT. >> THE REASON IT'S REQUIRED IS BECAUSE THE STATE LAW ONLY ADDRESSES PAWNBROKERS. THEY DON'T IMPOSE THAT ON ANY OTHER BUSINESSES. >>COUN. BORREGO: WITH REGARD TO KIOSKS? >> IN WORKING WITH THE KIOSK FOLKS, YOU SAW ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES EARLIER, IT'S LIKE A VENDING MACHINE. INSTEAD OF GOING AND GETTING A BAG OF CHIPS, YOU WALK UP TO THE BAG OF MACHINE AND YOU DEPOSIT THE DEVICE, IF YOU HAVE AN OLD CELL PHONE OR TABLET, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERFACE, AND THEY WILL VALUE YOUR DEVICE. AND YOU CAN PLACE THE DEVICE INTO THE UNIT. AND YOU RECEIVE CASH IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PLACING OF THE DEVICE. THEN THE DEVICE IS USED FOR PARTS OR RECYCLING. WORKING THROUGH THIS ORDINANCE, AND SPEAKING WITH THE CITY CLERK -- THE CITY TREASURY, AND THEY RELATED US THAT SHE RECOVERED HER STOLEN CELL PHONE WITH ONE OF THE DEVICES. IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY ACCEPTING OF THE CITY'S REGULATION. THIS WOMAN DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING FOR THE REPORTING THE CRIME. >>COUN. BORREGO: THANK YOU, I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE OF THOSE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THANK YOU. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR BORREGO. COUNCILOR BASSAN. >>COUN. BASSAN: MR. PRESIDENT, MY QUESTION IS REALLY FOR APD, I'VE HEARD COUNCILOR GIBSON SAY HE MIGHT NEED TO GO, I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEBODY HAS QUESTIONS FOR HIM. >>COUN. DAVIS: I THINK YOU'RE OUR LAST QUESTION ON THIS ITEM. WE'LL LET YOU GO AND WE'LL LET THE SPONSOR DECIDE HOW TO MANAGE HER GUEST. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU, MY QUESTION IS DIRECTED TOWARD APD. IN REGARD TO WHAT TO WHAT IS THE PLAN? SOMEWHAT THE PLAN FOR GETTING THE OTHER DETECTIVES NECESSARY TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO NOT CREATE AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE WITH A BIG BACK LOG? >> RIGHT NOW, JUST WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES THE DEPARTMENT HAS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY IMMEDIATE STAFFING IS GOING TO HAPPEN. FROM THE FEW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF BEING ABLE TO USE CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES FOR THE INSPECTION PURPOSES TO HELP WITH THAT RESPONSIBILITY. WE ONLY HAVE THE ONE DETECTIVE DEDICATED TO PAWN ITEMS, WE HAVE OTHER UNITS THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO ASSIST WITH SOME OF THE CASE LOAD. I DO THINK THAT GETTING THE SPECIFIC UNIT STAFFED WOULD BE -- TO BE HONEST. >>COUN. BASSAN: I'M HOPING, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR NEXT CADET CLASS IS GOING TO GRADUATE IN MARCH. HERE'S HOPING WE CAN MOVE PEOPLE AROUND. IF THIS DOESN'T START TAKING EFFECT FOR 90 DAYS, I REMAIN OPTIMISTIC. WHAT ABOUT THE D.A.s OFFICE? IF WE GET MORE EVIDENCE OR FOLLOWING THIS ORDINANCE, WHAT ABOUT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICES? ARE THEY EXCITED SO THEY CAN FURTHER THEIR PROSECUTION. >> I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN COMMENT ON THAT. WHAT I CAN SPEAK TO IS WHAT WE HEAR FROM THEM IN REGARD TO WE CAN'T PROSECUTE SO MANY CASES. IT GENERALLY HAS TO DO WITH IDENTIFYING THE PERSON OR SHOWING THEY KNEW THE ITEMS WERE STOLEN. ONE THING WE TRY TO WORK WITH THE D.A.s OFFICE ON IS LOOKING WHEN A PERSON HAS A SIGNIFICANT HISTORY IN ALL ASPECTS. IF THIS IS A VIOLENT OFFENDER OR SOMEBODY HAVING OTHER CRIMINAL ISSUES. WHEN YOU HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCES THE CASES THAT HAVE EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU FOR THAT. MR. PRESIDENT, I'M GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH MORE. I THINK THAT THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT TIME WASTED, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT KIND OF EVIDENCE IN ORDER TO PROSECUTE. IT CAN GO TO THE CYCLE IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MANPOWER WHAT WHAT HAPPENS IF WE TAKE THIS TIME AND END UP AT GROUND ZERO. THE LAST ONE IS A COMMENT THAT I NOTICED FROM THE SLIDE SHOW. IT HIT HOME THAT WITH SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT, ONE OF THE SLIDES WE MAY PROSECUTE THOSE WHO MAY HAVE THEIR IDENTITY STOLEN AND ARE INCIDENT. THAT IS ONE OF THE OUTSIDE BOX THINGS THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF THAT COULD SAVE INCIDENT PEOPLE TIME AND ENERGY WHEN SOMEBODY ELSE HAS DONE DAMAGE TO THEIR PROPERTY. I THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. SEEING NO OTHER DISCUSSION. COUNCILOR GIBSON, IF YOU WANT TO RELEASE YOUR GUESTS OR HOW YOU MANAGE. I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE AMENDMENTS. ACTUALLY, COUNCILOR SENA WANTS TO ASK A QUESTION BEFORE WE MOVE TO AMENDMENTS. >>COUN. SENA: I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. I'M HOPING TO HOLD OFF SOME OF MY QUESTIONS WHY WE GO THROUGH THE AMENDMENTS. I WANTED TO -- IT WAS BROUGHT MY ATTENTION, AND I THANK SERGEANT FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS, WHEN WAS THE VIDEO FOOTAGE OR THE PICTURES IF ANY GET UTILIZED IN THIS PROCESS? >> RIGHT NOW WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN AN ITEM IS POND, THEY REPORT IT TO THE ONLINE DATABASE. THAT INFORMATION THEN IS CROSS REFERENCED WITH THE CENTER FOR ANY STOLEN ITEMS THAT COME BACK. USUALLY BY SERIAL NUMBERS. THAT'S HOW WE GET MOST OF THE CASES. IN THOSE INSTANCES, WE'LL GET ALERTED ONLINE, AND THERE WAS AN ITEM THAT WAS SOLD OR PAWNED IS SHOWING SIMILARITIES AN ITEM REPORTED STOLEN. WHEN WE GET THAT INFORMATION, THAT THE ITEM WAS STOLEN, WE START LOOKING INTO THE ENTIRE CASE AS FAR AS HOW THE ITEM WAS TAKEN AND WHO THE THIS PERSON IS THAT SOLD THE ITEM. THE OTHER TIMES WE USE THIS WOULD BE IF WE HAD A THEFT WHERE SEVERAL ITEMS WERE STOLEN. WE SEARCH THROUGH THE DATA BASE THROUGH THOSE ITEMS TO SEE IF ANYONE SOLD OR PAWNED ITEMS SIMILAR TO THAT CASE. IN WHICH CASE WE WOULD VERIFY IT THE ITEMS FIRST. WE'RE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE STOLEN PROPERTY. AND WE WOULD START LOOKING INTO PICTURES OF THE PERSON AND THE PERSON'S INFORMATION. I GUESS SOMETIMES IF WE HAVE WE KNOW MAY HAVE TAKEN SOMETHING FROM THEM. IN THOSE INSTANCES, WE MIGHT SEARCH THAT PERSON'S PAWN HISTORY TO SEE IF THEY HAVE SOLD ANYTHING. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR SENA. >>COUN. SENA: THANK YOU FOR THAT. I WANTED TO VERIFY SOME OF THE CONCERNS IF THERE WAS UTLUIZATION. I APPRECIATE THAT. WE BROUGHT UP OTHER CONCERNS AS IT RELATES TO THE CRAIG'S LIST AND FACEBOOK. PAWNSHOPS AND SECONDHAND DEALERS HAVE ALSO STATED THEY SERVE AS THE SPACE FOR PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS TO OCCUR. DOES THIS GET TO ANY OF THAT? OR ARE THEY ABLE TO UTILIZE THE FOOTAGE? I WAS CURIOUS IF WE ADDRESS THAT IN ANY WAY? >> MAKING SURE IF I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY? IF WE LOOK AT IT WHEN THEY'RE FACILITATING A PURCHASE? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING? AND NOT ACTUALLY BUYING THE ITEM. >> RIGHT, IF THEY'RE HAVING IT OUTSIDE. I KNOW -- I'M CURIOUS IF THIS ORDINANCE, I HAVEN'T BEEN PART OF THE DISCUSSION, THIS COULD BE FOR THE SPONSOR OR FOR YOU. >> THERE'S MANY INSTANCES WHERE THEY'RE FACILITATING THOSE TRANSACTIONS WITH A SAFE SPACE MAYBE RELATED TO THE BACKGROUND CHECKS OR FIREARMS. I KNOW PEOPLE WILL GO TO PAWNSHOPS AND THEY'LL FACILITATE THE PURCHASES THROUGH THEM IN THOSE REGARDS. THAT WOULD BE THE SPECIFIC INSTANCE I CAN THINK OF FOR THAT. BUT, AS FAR AS THAT GOES, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT VERY OFTEN. I WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. IF THEY'RE JUST FACILITATING THE PURCHASE, IT WOULD NEVER BE REGULATED. IT WOULDN'T BE PUT ONLINE AS AN AN ITEM THEY PURCHASED. AT ALL OF YOUR SUBSTATIONS WE HAVE A SAFE SPACE. THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION WITH HOW TO DO THOSE CRAIG'S LIST OR FACEBOOK SALES. >>COUN. SENA: THANK YOU FOR THAT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR SENA. SEEING NO OTHER DISCUSSION. COUNCILOR GIBSON, BACK TO YOU FOR YOUR AMENDMENT. >>COUN. GIBSON: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I HAVE FIVE AMENDMENTS. THEY'RE DESIGNATED A THROUGH E. I'LL START WITH A, FLOOR AMENDMENT ONE. PAGE SIX LINE 15, ADD THE FOLLOWING AFTER THE WORD BON. THE TERM OF THE BOND MUST COVER THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE INITIAL ANNUAL PERMIT OR ANNUAL RENEWAL PERIOD. EXPLANATION IS PAWNBROKERS IS REQUIRED TO POST $5,000 BOND THAT IS INTENDED TO HELP COVER DAMAGES OR LOSSES TO A PERSON THAT MIGHT RESULT IN A BREACH OF AGREEMENT WITH A PAWNBROKER. THE REQUIREMENT FOR THIS BOND COMES FROM STATE LAW. THE AMENDMENT WAS RECOMMENDED BY CITY CLERK'S OFFICES TO HELP IN SURE THE BOND REQUIREMENT OF BOND BROKERS DOES NOT EXPIRE DURING THE BOND BROKER PERMIT. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR BORREGO, I SEE YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE SECOND. COUNCILOR GIBSON FOR FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILOR GIBSON TO CLOSE. >>COUN. GIBSON: I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. >> 9-0. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR GIBSON, ITEM B. >>COUN. GIBSON: THANK YOU, THIS IS FLOOR AMENDMENT TWO. ON PAGE EIGHT LINE EIGHT, ADD THE FOLLOWING WERE APD MY APPROVE PAWNBROKER PRECIOUS MATERIAL DEALER OR SECONDHAND RETAILERS USE OF THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM ON A CASE BY CASE SYSTEM WHERE THE CASE IS DESIGNED TO AND DOES A, CAPTURE A DISCERNIBLE COLOR IMAGE OF THE PERSON OR SELLER AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSACTION AS OPPOSED OF THE TIME OF ENTRY INTO THE STABMENT. B INCLUDES AN ACCURATE TIME AND DATE STAMP THAT CAN BE RELATED TO THE TIME OF AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESPECTIVE COVERED TRANSACTION. AND C, WHERE THE FOOTAGE IS RETAINED FOR A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION TO PROPERTY UNIT INSPECTION. THIS OFFERS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE UPLOADING OF A STILL IMAGE FOR EVERY TRANSACTION AS AN ALTERNATIVE IT WOULD ALLOW THE USE OF VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SO LONG AS IT'S APPROVED BY APD BASED ON SATISFYING THE LISTED PARAMETERS LISTED ABOVE. >>COUN. DAVIS: I THINK THAT'S A SECOND, COUNCILOR GIBSON. YOU HAVE YOUR SECOND. LET ME JUST SAY I APPRECIATE YOU WORKING ON THIS WHEN YOU AND I HAD A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT THIS. I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATION. I APPRECIATE THAT APD IS YOURSELF WAS ABLE TO WORK ON THIS. THANKS FOR THAT. COUNCILORS, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. I'LL ASK FOR THE VOTE. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. >> 9-0. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU. NEXT THERE'S ITEM C, THERE'S A REVISED ITEM C, THAT'S THE ONE I DIDN'T THINK COUNCILOR GIBSON IS GOING TO PRESENT. THIS ONE IS PRETTY LONG. I'LL DEFER TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO READ IT OR DEFER THAT IT'S ON-SCREEN. >>COUN. GIBSON: SHALL I READ IT IN ITS ENTIRETY? SGLP. >>COUN. DAVIS: I THINK THE EXPLANATION. COUNCILORS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE IN THEIR PACKETS EARLIER TODAY. >>COUN. GIBSON: RESALE IS ONE MEGGED OF SELLING OR GETTING VALUE OUT OF AN ACQUIRED GOOD. THE ADDITION TO THE PRECIOUSES MATERIAL DEALER WILL CLARIFY THAT THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE WILL GO TO ALL EXCHANGES OF VALUE AND SALES THROUGH RETAIL SALE. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH HOW THE ORDINANCE APPLIES TO SECONDHAND RETAILERS AND PAWNBROKERS. REMOVING THE EXCEPTION WILL HELP CLOSE THE UNFAIR LOOPHOLE FOR JEWELRY BUYERS TO OPERATE A QUICK CASH STOREFRONT THAT SELL TO ANOTHER BUSINESS INSTEAD OF DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC. >>COUN. DAVIS: I RECOGNIZE COUNCILOR BORREGO OFFERED A SECOND. COUNCILOR BORREGO, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I DIDN'T HEAR YOU. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES, JUST WANTED TO SAY THERE'S TWO ORS IN YOUR AMENDMENT. YOU NEED TO ELIMINATE ONE. >>COUN. GIBSON: I THINK WE CAN GET STAFF TO EDIT THAT OUT. THAT TYPO OUT. THANK YOU FOR NOTING IT. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR BORREGO, WE'LL HAVE THE STAFF REACH OUT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT IS. THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT. I'LL TAKE YOUR SECOND TO FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE.

DAVIS: MY APOLOGIES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILOR GIBSON, I DON'T SEE ANY. WE'LL LET YOU HAVE THE FLOOR BACK. >>COUN. GIBSON: THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. SO, THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS I SAID, AND THAT COULD BE A LONG CLOSE. I DON'T LIKE LONG SPEECHES, I DON'T WANT TO MAKE LONG SPEECHES. A COUPLE THINGS I HEARD DURING THE DISCUSSION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS AND THAT IS OUR EVER-PRESENT LACK OF ENOUGH POLICE OFFICERS TO DO ALL OF THE WORK WE ASK THEM TO DO EVERY DAY, DAY IN AND DAY OUT. AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THEM. I TALKED ABOUT THIS ORDINANCE WITH AT LEAST FOUR POLICE CHIEFS SINCE I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS. AND THEY'VE ALL TOLD ME THAT STAFFING WAS AN ISSUE. I WOULD OFFER THAT ACTUALLY THIS HELPS ADDRESS THAT IN A VERY SIGNIFICANT AND MEANINGFUL WAY, IN THAT THE MORE RECORDS WE HAVE OF THESE TRANSACTIONS, WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND SERIAL NUMBERS AND ALL OF THAT, MORE WORK CAN BE DONE REMOTELY WITHIN THE DETECTIVE'S OFFICE. THERE WILL BE FEWER NECESSITIES FOR ON-SITE VISITS. THERE IS THAT. DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE DON'T FOUR DETECTIVES? I'M NOT GOING THAT FAR. I'M SAYING THIS IS GOING TO MAKE THEIR JOB EASIER IN THIS RESPECT. MORE DATA WILL BE IN THE SAME PLACE. SAME THING CAN BE SAID ABOUT THE ATM KIOSK THAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT EARLIER TODAY. I'VE NEVER USED ONE, BUT I'M GLAD THEY'RE OUT THERE. I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN ABUSED A LOT UNTIL A COMPANY REALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO MANAGE THAT SECURITY ASPECT AGAIN, EVERYTHING GOES INTO A DATABASE, SERIAL NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING. IT'S EASIER TO TRACK STOLEN ELECTRONICS THAT WAY. SO, BESIDES THAT, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY. THANK EVERYBODY FOR PUTTING SO MUCH EFFORT INTO THIS. I ALREADY MENTIONED PEOPLE. THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE INSTRUMENTAL ON THIS. THE APD FOLKS, ORGANIZED CRIME UNIT. AND I WANT TO THANK THE INDUSTRY. WE HAD GREAT PEOPLE WITH THE PEOPLE WITHIN THEM. WE'VE HAD I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MEETINGS, TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS BUT SEVERAL OTHER MEETINGS WITH THEM IN CITY HALL AND OTHER PLACES, AS WELL. I APPRECIATE THEIR INPUT INTO THIS AND HELPING TO MAKE THIS A BILL WHICH I THINK IS REALLY A GOOD ONE. IT'S SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE IS GOING TO BE A TOOL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR GIBSON. SEEING NO OTHER COMMENT, I ASK FOR A CALL ON THE BILL. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. AND THANK YOU, COUNCILOR GIBSON. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES, AND ALSO THANK YOU COUNCILOR GIBSON FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A LONG TIME. AND I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT IT'S FINALLY GOING THROUGH. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: A LITTLE TOO MUCH REGULATION, SO NO. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. CONGRATULATIONS. >> PASSES ON AN 8-1 VOTE. >>COUN. DAVIS: EVERYONE SAID YOU WORKED ON THIS FOR LONG TIME. HERE'S HOPING THE MAYOR WILL TAKE THIS. COUNCILOR BENTON, YOU'RE NEXT. >>COUN. BENTON: O-18 IS GAS TAX OF TWO CENTS PER GALLON. AS PRESENTLY WRITTEN TO BE USED TO REHAB STREETS. AND MOVE A DUE PASS. >>COUN. DAVIS: I'LL SECOND THAT. SEEING NO OTHER, COUNCILOR BENTON. >>COUN. BENTON: COUNCILORS, I'M GOING TO DEPER THIS ONE MORE TIME, I DO INTEND TO BRING FORTH A FLOOR SABBAT OUR NEXT MEETING FOR UP AND DOWN VOTE. I APPRECIATE ANY THOUGHTS YOU HAVE. AND ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE ELECTION, I'M VERY INTERESTED IN THAT. HEARD FROM ANOTHER COUNCILOR ABOUT SPECIFICALLY THIS BE ABOUT PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, WHICH IT COULD BE. I'VE BEEN PUSHING THIS FOR SOME TIME NOW. THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN WITH ME FOR A WHILE KNOW. I THINK THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY FOR THINGS LIKE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITY ACT COMPLIANCE AND THE MASSIVE BACKLONG BETWEEN THAT AND OUR REGULAR STREET BACK LOG OF MAINTENANCE IS WELL OVER A HALF BILLION DOLLARS. IT'S SOMETHING WE OUGHT TO PUT BEFORE THE VOTERS. I ENCOURAGE YOU AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS AND I WILL MOVE A DEFERRAL. AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS, LET'S PUT THIS IN THE VOTER'S HANDS AND HAVE A DISCUSSION. THIS IS WHY I'M ASKING YOU IF YOU WANT TO LIMIT HOW THIS MONEY COULD BE SPENT, ANY IDEAS YOU HAVE ABOUT THE BILL, I REALLY WANT A DISCUSSION WITH YOU ABOUT IT AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO PUT FORTH AMENDMENTS THAT WE COULD INCORPORATE INTO A FLOOR SUB VERSUS AMENDMENTS FOR THE NEXT MEETING. I'M INTERESTED IN ANYTHING YOU SAY RIGHT NOW, OTHERWISE, I MOVE FOR THE DEFERRAL UNTIL NOVEMBER 16th. >>COUN. DAVIS: I WILL SECOND THAT FOR A DEFERRAL UNTIL NOVEMBER 16th. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FOR THE DEFERRAL. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. >> DEFERRED, 9-0. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR BENTON, YOU WANT TO CARRY R-104. >>COUN. BENTON: SO, R-104 IS ADOPTING THE 2020 UPDATE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM MANUAL. I MOVE A DUE PASS. >>COUN. DAVIS: AS A CO-SPONSOR I SECOND. >>COUN. BENTON: THE MTMP, I WAS A SPONSOR BY REQUEST ON THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION ON THE THIS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT ON THIS FOR YEARS HAS STRUGGLED WITH REQUESTS FOR SPEED HUMPS. THE ONLY TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE THAT WE KNEW OF BACK IN THE OLD DAYS WERE SPEED HUMPS. THERE'S SO MANY MORE WAYS OF DEALING WITH NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC. THIS IS NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC, NOT MAJOR CORRIDORS. FOLKS WHO PASS THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS AT HIGH SPEED. I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL RECEIVED THE COMPLAINTS FROM CONSTITUENTS ABOUT IT. I THINK THIS IS A REAL ADVANCEMENT. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S WORK ON UPDATING THIS MANUAL, INCLUDING DON FROM OUR STAFF AND EVERYBODY AT DMD. TIM BROWN, OUR CHIEF TRAFFIC ENGINEER AT DMD. WE HAVE A GOOD GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. WE'RE HOPING IT WILL MAKE IT A MORE USER-FRIENDLY SYSTEM FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS. I'M PRETTY SURE IT WILL BECAUSE LOWERS THE THRESHOLD OR THE NUMEROUS THRESHOLDS THAT ARE OPTIONS FOR APPLYING NOT JUST SPEED HUMPS BUT OTHER TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AND TO LOOK AT ALL OPTIONS AS TO HOW WE CAN DEAL WITH CRAZY TRAFFIC IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ENDANGER OUR CHILDREN OR FAMILIES OR JUST PEOPLE ON THE STREETS. I THINK THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD EFFORT, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. YEAH. IT'S GOOD STUFF. I APPRECIATE PRESIDENT DAVIS FOR JUMPING IN ON THIS AS WELL. IT'S TAKEN A WHILE, BUT TIME WELL SPENT TO COME UP WITH A PRETTY GOOD SYSTEM. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. I SEE COUNCILOR BORREGO HAS A QUESTION. COUNCILOR BORREGO. YOU'RE OFFERING A SECOND. THANK YOU. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? JUST VERY BRIEFLY, THANKS FOR LETTING ME JOINING YOU ON THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A LONG TIME. ALL OF US CAN BENEFIT. WE DON'T NEED TO TELL A LOT OF STORYIES, BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON . >>COUN. DAVIS: I THINK WE WILL LET YOU PRESENT. COUNCILOR HARRIS, FOR M1. >>COUN. DAVIS: DON, YOUR MICROPHONE, WE LOST YOU. ONE MORE TIME. COUNCILOR, TRY IT ONE MORE TIME. >>COUN. HARRIS: OKAY, HOW'S THAT? I HAVE FAT FINGERS OR SOMETHING. I HAVE FOUR COUNCILORS ON THIS AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE FIVE AND THAT WOULD BREAK THE RULES. I'M SURE COUNCILOR SENA SUPPORTS THIS. OVER HALF OUR COUNSEL TOUCHES ROUTE 66 THIS IS FOR THE OTHER OF CONGRESS AMENDING THE NATIONAL TRAIL SYSTEM TO DESIGNATE ROUTE 66 NATIONAL HISTORIC TRAIL. PASSED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND BEING REVIEWED BY THE U.S. SENATE A COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND NATIONAL RESOURCES. THIS WOULD, AS YOU KNOW, ROUTESF 66 RUINS THROUGH THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. AND THIS WOULD PROVIDE MAJOR ECONOMIC STIMULUS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT FURTHER, OR ANY OTHER THAT WANT TO COMMENT ALSO. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR BENTON, GO AHEAD, SIR. >>COUN. BENTON: JUST A SECOND. I WAS JUST OFFERING A SECOND. >>COUN. DAVIS: I'M SORRY, SIR. >>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I WANT TO THANK COUNCILOR HARRIS, I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. I THINK IT'S GOING TO GO A LONG WAY. AS YOU KNOW IT'S THE 100th YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN 2026, IT WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. I APPRECIATE IT. A LOT OF MY WORK HAS BEEN CREATED ON WEST CENTRAL AND THE VISITOR'S CENTER ON NINE-MILE HILL. I WANTED TO SAY THAT I'VE ALWAYS ARGUED SINCE I WAS DOING COMMUNITY WORK THAT WE HAVE THE LONGEST URBAN STRETCH OF THE HISTORIC ROUTE, I FEEL IN ALBUQUERQUE WE HAVEN'T CAPITALIZED ON THAT AS MUCH AS WE COULD OR SHOULD. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COUNCILOR HARRIS FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I WANT TO READ ONE THING FROM A STUDY THAT'S DONE. IT SAYS THE AVERAGE TRAVELLER SPENDS AN AVERAGE OF 1500 OR 2000 PER TRAVEL PARTY IN ANNUAL EXPENDITURES IN THE UNITED STATES IN $38 MILLION. THAT'S A ROUGH ESTIMATE. SO, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU, COUNCILOR HARRIS AND I HOPE WE CAN ATTRACT SOME DOLLARS HERE TO ALBUQUERQUE. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. COUNCILOR SENA, AND THEN COUNCILOR BORREGO. >>COUN. SENA: THANK YOU, FOR THAT COUNCILOR HARRIS. I ABSOLUTELY DO SUPPORT THIS. I THINK IT'S PHENOMENAL AND HAVE FEDERAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT CENTRAL. I THINK THE BILLS THAT MAKE COMMENT SAY IT BEST. I APPRECIATE IT. >>COUN. DAVIS: COUNCILOR BORREGO. >>COUN. BORREGO: THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE COUNCIL SPONSORS FOR THIS PARTICULAR BILL. WHEN I WORKED FOR THE CITY IN THE REDEVELOPMENT OFFICES, MANY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AREAS TOUCH CENTRAL AVENUE AND ARE LOCATED ON CENTRAL AVENUE. IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE STRETCH, WHEN WE WORKED AT THE CITY WE CREATED TWO GATEWAY PARKS. ONE COMING INTO THE CITY FROM THE EAST SIDE AND ONE FROM THE WEST SIDE. THE GATEWAY ON THE EAST SIDE IS CENTRAL AND TRAMWAY. COUNCILOR PEÑA IS WORKING ON HER ROUTE 66 CENTER WHICH WILL BE ANOTHER AREA WILL IDENTIFY THIS AREA AS A HISTORIC ROUTE. I THINK IT'S BEEN LONG COMING AND I'M GLAD TO SEE IT'S FINALLY HERE. I'M GLAD TO BE A PART OF IT. >>COUN. DAVIS: THANK YOU, COUNCILOR HARRIS. I AGREE. WE'RE WORKING ON REVITALIZATION AND AS COUNCILOR BENTON AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WITH SOME OF THE BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS AND BRINGING ABOUT NEON AND LOOKING AT REVITALIZING THAT. WE MASSED A MARKING PROGRAM TO GET BACK TO CENTRAL RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAY WHERE OUR MOST ICONIC LOCAL BUSINESSES ARE. THANKS FOR TAKING THIS UP AND THANKS FOR ALWAYS BRINGING IN THE EAST GATEWAY THAT IS JUST GETTING UNDERWAY. THERE'S A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO ON CENTRAL AVENUE. THANKS FOR BRING THIS AND I HOPE IT GETS THE RECOGNITION IN D.C. >>COUN. HARRIS: I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. ROLL CALL VOTE. >>COUN. BASSAN: YES. >>COUN. BENTON: YES. >>COUN. BORREGO: YES. >>COUN. GIBSON: YES. >>COUN. HARRIS: YES. >>COUN. JONES: YES. >>COUN. PEÑA: YES. >>COUN. SENA: YES. >>COUN. DAVIS: YES. >> PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >>COUN. DAVIS: MADAM CLERK, OUR OTHER ITEM DID NOT GET ADDED TO THE AGENDA. THAT THE CONCLUSION OF OUR BUSINESS? THANK YOU YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US GET THROUGH THIS MEETING THIS EVENING. WE APPRECIATE IT. I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYBODY DOESN'T KNOW THAT IT'S ELECTION DAY TOMORROW. IF BY SOME CHANCE YOU DON'T, MAKE YOUR PLAN AND GO VOTE. IT IS YOUR LAST CHANCE AND EVERYONE COUNTS. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. WE'LL SEE YOU IN TWO WEEKS.
