consent agenda we have one item to be withdrawn MNC 25- 0063 items to be continued or withdrawn by staff we have none mayor I believe that gets us to con consent uh agenda thank you Janette we have Adrien Smith followed by Chris Wood Adrien Smith district 6 I am one with the people and the people are the power for change um speaking to you on this morning Council item 25 hyphen 0066 when they go low you go high so this particular agenda item for those who are following along it'll be on page three of 12 item number two and this is for the purchase of motor and Aviation Fu fi related services for All City departments this particular request was made by the property management department who approach the purchasing division now the type of Furs we are considering jet a diesel fuels alternative fuels um non entainment uh area to supply operated vehicles and Equipment unlet it in diesel fuels Etc you get it it's about fuel purchase but I'm not here to talk about the fural purchase I'm here to talk about the cost that is going to be costing we the taxpayers so in this particular agenda it says there no guarant es were made that a specific amount of these funds would be purchased staff certifies that the recommended vendors bids meet specification there were 11 biders five were chosen now it states that the combined annual amount allowed under these non-exclusive agreements for the first year of the initial term would be $15 million but there's a high however part the actual amount used will be based on the need of the department and available budget so regarding the various renewal options which are in the millions of dollars one question I have of this Council and mayor what's expected to change regarding the product or services that will be provided as it relates to this agenda item other than what it's going to cost we the taxpayers again the renewal options are in the millions of dollars there are five potential renewal options however there is what I like to call the nuclear option where these five renewal options can be bypassed and the nuclear option for the first first first year it encompasses 3,170 358 if we bypass those renewals and just hit the nuclear button and just drop the money in that first year the second year it states at an amount of$ 34 95,9 if we hit the nuclear option for the second year so again mayor these renewal options why are these amounts in the millions of dollars if the services and the products are not changing thank you our next speaker is Chris Wood my name is Chris Wood and I am from District 9ine I'm here to support the agenda item for the acceptance of funds to reduce poverty ending poverty is a Cornerstone for building a successful and thriving Community I have witnessed the profound impact of poverty spending about four years in areas of extremely low income I was shocked and saddened by the lengths to which people go to just to survive like having a friend get shot over a small amount of money someone pulling out a knife just to get a good spot in line to receive food and a friend threatening to physically harm someone over a stolen blanket eradicating poverty will help prevent people from resorting to desperate acts to make it through to another day in 2016 I became disabled I was approved for disability benefits and while I am grateful for the assistance the monthly amount I receive places me in the low income category living on a lower income is a constant battle a balancing act between paying bills and purchasing Necessities the struggle to secure healthy food can be daunting food banks while a vital resource often lack the capacity to provide sufficient quantities of nutritious foods such such as fresh fruits and vegetables access to Medical Care is a critical issue for those living in poverty I have personally experienced the frustration and helplessness of being turned away by an urgent medical care center Center simply because they did not accept Medicare fortunately I have the support of my middle class family who lend a helping hand in times of need their assistance is a Lifeline allowing me to navigate the challenges of being poor however many individuals facing poverty do not have the safety net of family support if I struggle so much as a low-income person with the help of middleclass family members I can only imagine the insurmountable difficulties faced by those who are entirely on their own the acceptance of federal funds to combat poverty is a crucial step towards addressing these issues these funds have the potential to create significant and Lasting changes in our community by addressing the root causes of poverty and providing the necessary resources for individuals to thrive we can create a more prosperous and Equitable Society for everyone thank you for considering my testimony Council that's the conclusion of our speakers I can entertain a motion on the consent agenda a motion a second any other discussion if not please vote Carlos was a yes too thank you and Jared motion approves next item will be MNC 25- z63 I ask for to be pulled off pulled off mayor go ahead Michael sorry it's just
