Gibson: THIS IS NOT A PROCLAMATION BUT WE DID SCHEDULE A PRESENTATION FOR TODAY'S MEETING. THIS IS AN ENERGY COUNCIL PRESENTATION AND I AM WONDERING IF WE HAVE, I SEE -- YES, WE HAVE THE PRESENTERS WITH US NOW. ALEX MONTANO, CURRENT CHAIR OF AEC. THIS IS ALBUQUERQUE ENERGY COUNCIL AND AMY MILLER IS THE FORMER CHAIR. SO, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THEM SO THIEMIA PRESENT THE ANNUAL REPORT THAT I DID READ IT AND I FOUND IT READABLE AND REALLY QUITE INFORMATIVE. SO, EAGER TO HEAR THE PRESENTATION. >> MONTANO: THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN TODAY AND JUST PROVIDE A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE ALBUQUERQUE ENERGY COUNCIL AND EVEN JUST A SMALL REFRESHER FOR THOSE WHO ARE MAYBE LESS FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THE ENERGY COUNCIL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. WE ARE GOING TO BE VERY BRIEF, PRESENTING ALONGSIDE ME TODAY WILL BE AMY MILLER WHO IS ACTING MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL AS WELL. SHE WAS SERVING AS THE CHAIR OF THE COUNCIL AT THE TIME THAT THIS REPORT WAS WRITTEN. I AM THE NEWLY APPOINTED CHAIR SERVING NOW. SO WE DECIDED TO TACKLE THIS TOGETHER AND DO A BETTER JOB THAN SEPARATELY. WE ARE GOING TO JUMP RIGHT IN. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO, A QUICK RECAP. WHAT IS MISSION AND PURPOSE OF THE COUNCIL. MISSION IS CHAMPIONS OF ALBUQUERQUE'S QUALITY OF LIFE PROMOTING COST EFFECTIVE INNOVATIVE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, ENERGY EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. THE COUNCIL WAS INITIALLY ESTABLISHED IN 1977. TO SERVE THE PUBLIC WELFARE BY DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A COMMUNITY-WIDE EFFORT TO CONCIERGE ENERGY AND REDUCE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS IN THE PRODUCTION OF ENERGY AND OVERALL PROMOTE BEST ENERGY PRACTICES. PRETTY BROAD. IF YOU GO INTO DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IT DIVES DEEPER. AEC HAS 9 INDIVIDUALS FROM THE COMMUNITY, PRIMARILY IN THE, YOU KNOW, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, RENEWABLE ENERGY, SUSTAINABILITY INDUSTRIES, PEOPLE ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THESE TOPICS AND THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE AND SO THEY VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME EVERY MONTH TO COME TOGETHER AND HELP TO SET DIRECTIONS OR AT LEAST SOME GUIDANCE FOR THE CITY THE BEST WE CAN. THE BEST WE CAN SUPPORT THE CITY IN THESE EFFORTS. THERE IS ACTUALLY EIGHT SHOWN THERE WE HAVE A CURRENT VACANCY, LOOKING TO FILL SOON, HOPEFULLY. ONE DUTY THE COUNCIL PROVIDES IS SOME LEVEL OF OVERSIGHT, NOT NECESSARILY OVERSIGHT, BUT SOME GUIDANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 3% SET ASIDES ARE UTILIZED. IN 2003 THIS SOURCE OF FUNDING WAS CREATED SO IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 1% OF THE MONEY WAS SET ASIDE SPECIFICALLY FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION AND PROJECTS. THAT AMOUNT WAS INCREASED IN 2006 TO 3%. THERE HAS NOT BEEN INCREASE SINCE. IT IS STILL AT 3% LEVEL TODAY. THESE ARE SET ASIDE EVERY TWO YEARS. AS THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN, THE COMMITTEE AND TECHNICAL STAFF ALONG WITH CONSULTATION OF THE AEC SHALL APPROVE EXPENDITURES FOR THE 3% SET ASIDE. SO, WE DO THE BEST WE CAN. YOU'LL SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, WHEN WE ARE PRESENTED -- WHEN THE COUNCIL IS PRESENTED A PROJECT FROM ONE OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE'S DEPARTMENTS, IT GOES TO THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT FOR REVIEW. IF IT MEETS CRITERIA TO COME IN FRONT OF THE ALBUQUERQUE ENERGY COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL THEN REVIEWS THOSE PROJECTS BASED ON THESE CRITERIA HERE WHICH ARE REASONABLE COST, LEVEL OF ENERGY SAVINGS ACHIEVABLE AND CAN BE SUSTAINED OVER SOME LENGTH OF TIME. THE FINANCIAL BENEFIT OF THE PROJECT, TURN ON INVESTMENT AND LEVERAGING OF ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. HOW MUCH OF IT IS COME IN THE FORM OF INCENTIVES OR GRANTS OR OUTSIDE SOURCES OF FUNDING TO REALLY EXPAND THE IMPACT. WHAT IS PROPOSED APPROACH, TIME LINE FOR THE PROJECT AND PRACTICALITY OF IT. HOW IMPACTFUL IS THAT PROJECT LONG-TERM. LAST ONE IF NOT MOST IMPORTANT IN LINE WITH THE MISSION IS WHAT IS THE PROJECT'S OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION, OUTREACH AND AWARENESS. HOW IS THE PUBLIC SEEING THESE FUNDS ARE USED IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY THAT MEETS AEC'S MISSION AND SUPPORTS THE CITY OVERALL OBJECTIVES FOR CLIMATE CHANGE WHICH WE HAVE SOME PRETTY BROAD ONES, RIGHT. WE HAVE AGGRESSIVE ONES HERE AT THE CITY. WHICH IS GREAT. >> I AM GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO AMY TO TALK ABOUT SPECIFICALLY OF THE SOME WORK DONE OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. >> AMY: THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON. WE HAVE A TEAM THAT MEETS EVERY MONTH AND WE GET UPDATES AND ALLOWS TO US THINK THROUGH WHAT CAN THE CITY BE DOING TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF ITS BUILDINGS TO PROTECT ENVIRONMENT AND ULTIMATELY BENEFIT TAXPAYERS, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE ARE SAVING MONEY. WE ARE ALLOWING FUNDS THAT WERE GOING TOWARD ENERGY EXPENSES TO GO TOWARD OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS THAT THE CITY IS DOING FOR ITS CITIZENS. SO, THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE SUMMARY NUMBERS THAT YOU'LL FIND IN THE REPORT. SINCE THE PROGRAMS' INCEPTION ABOUT 168 MILLION HAVE BEEN SPENT ON PROJECTS. 20 25 MILLION-DOLLARS IN ANNUAL SAVINGS IN ENERGY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE COSTS. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE METRIC TUNNELS OF CARBON EMISSIONS REDUCED SO. AGAIN, SAVING MONEY AND PROTECTS ENVIRONMENT IS WHAT THIS COUNCIL AND THE CITY EMPLOYEES THAT WORK WITH THE COUNCIL, THIS WHAT IS OUR WORK IS ABOUT. >> NEXT SLIDE. >> IF YOU HAD BEEN IN THE MULTI GENERATION CENTER SINCE THIS WORK HAS BEEN DONE, THE DIFFERENCE -- THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT ENERGY SAVINGS. THE QUALITY OF LIGHT IS SO IMPROVED IN THAT FACILITY THIS THAT IS ONE THING CITY STAFF TRIES TO FOCUS ON IS IMPROVING ENVIRONMENT FOR CITY EMPLOYEES AND CITIZENS WHO ENJOY THESE DIFFERENT FACILITIES. CAN YOU DEFINITELY SEE IT IN THE CENTER. >> LOMAS TRAMWAY LIBRARY ALSO WENT WITH REPLACEMENT OF INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING WITH ANNUAL SAVINGS OF OVER 28,000 DOLLARS AND THEN THERE ARE TWO OTHER PROJECTS ON THE NEXT SLIDE THE KIMO THEATER WHICH WAS COMPLETED LAST MAY AND THE PINO YARD BUILDING AND WAREHOUSE. KIMO THEATER WE HOPE TIMES WILL CHANGE AND PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY WHAT THIS NEW LIGHTING LOOKS LIKE. THEY ADDED LED FIXTURES, 92 LIEDING CONTROLS WITH A LARGE SAVINGS AND THE PINO YARDS BUILDING AND WAREHOUSE WAS ALSO LIGHTING. I WANTED TO POINT OUT EVEN THESE FOUR THAT WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING WERE ALL ABOUT LIGHTING AND LIGHTING IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE ENERGY, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ALL THE PROJECTS OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON LIGHTING. SOME HAVE BEEN ON HVAC. WE JUST WENT THROUGH A PROCESS OF REVIEWING A PROPOSAL TO DO MINI ENERGY AUDITS ON MULTIPLE CITY FACILITIES. THERE HAVE BEEN A SOLAR PROJECT ON THE SANDIA HIGH SCHOOL POOL THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL. AND SO, IT IS REALLY A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS WHERE LIKE ALEX SAID WE ARE LOOKING AT COST, IMPACT AROUND ENERGY SAVINGS, WHAT WORKS FOR THAT FACILITY. >> ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION, SANDERS JUST LEFT THE COUNCIL, ANOTHER ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS THIS SMALL TEAM HAS DONE FROM THE COUNCIL HAS PUT TOGETHER A NEW MORE EFFICIENT PROCESS FOR EVALUATING THESE PROJECTS. SO, WE ARE LOOKING AT COST AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND MAKING SURE THE CITY IS LEVERAGING REBATES FROM THE GAS COMPANY OR PNM AND ALEX AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN REALLY REDOING AND FORMALIZING THIS PROCESS TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER, KNOWING THAT THERE IS STILL SO MUCH FUTURE POTENTIAL FOR THE CITY TO BE SAVING ENERGY. ONE OF THE FOCUSES FOR THE FUTURE IS GOING TO BE PUBLIC EDUCATION BECAUSE THE CITY IS DOING ALL THIS GREAT WORK AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, RIGHT? SO, OUR LAST MEETING WE TALKED ABOUT FOR THE TRAMWAY LIBRARY MAYBE HAVE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS BOTH FOR KIDS AND ADULTS TO SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AT THAT LIBRARY, HOW IT HAS SAVED ENERGY. AND HOW WE CAN ENCOURAGE, THEN HOMEOWNERS COMMERCIAL BUILDING OWNERS TO TAKE SOME OF THESE SAME ACTIONS WITHIN OUR CITY. >> ALEX: THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH YOU TODAY. THE WORK WE DO IS MEANINGFUL AND CITY STAFF IS FANTASTIC. AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OFFICE IS WONDERFUL, SO, THANK YOU EVERYONE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO COMING BACK IN FRONT OF YOU WITH A YEAR WITH THE NECK REPORT AND UPDATE. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU MR. MONTANO AND AMY MILLER WHO I WENT TO GRAD SCHOOL WITH. >> Coun. Benton: THANKS TO AMY AND ALEX AND EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL WHO VOLUNTEERS THEIR TIME AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG YEAR, I THINK, FOR THE CITY AND THE NATION AS WE TIE TO GET A GRIP ON WHERE WE ARE GOING WITH REGARD TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND THEY ARE PREDICTING TODAY WE MAY BE LOOKING AT THE DROUGHT ON THE SCALE OF THE 19 50'S IN ALBUQUERQUE. THAT IS NOT AN ENERGY ISSUE BUT WE KNOW IT IS ALL TIED TOGETHER WITH WATER. AND HOW WE HAVE GOT TO MAINTAIN THE CITY'S AS A SUSTAINABLE PLACE. I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE. I WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION FOR EITHER OF YOU. THAT IS WITH THE ROLE OF HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING KNOWING WE WANT TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE RARE CHANGES PER OUR, FRESH AIR THAT IS SO EVIDENCE WITH THE PANDEMIC GOING ON, THE NEED FOR HEALTHY, YET SUSTAINABLE AND LOW ENERGY COST AIR CHANGING IN BUILDINGS AND, YOU KNOW, ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT IS THAT THE TYPE OF MORE BROAD ISSUE THAT THE COUNCIL LOOKS AT? OBVIOUSLY WITH A FOCUS ON CITY BUILDINGS, I MEANT TO SAY. >> MONTANO: I'LL TAKE A FIRST STAB. I WOULD SAY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AIR CHANGES AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND INCREASING AMOUNT OF VENTILATION, THAT OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON ENERGY, RIGHT? THE MORE OUTSIDE AIR WE BRING IN, THE MORE WE HAVE TO TREAT THAT OUTSIDE AIR THROUGH HEATING OR COOLING OR WHATEVER THE SOURCE MAY BE. SO, THERE IS ENERGY PENALTY FOR THAT, HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT REPLACE THE IMPORTANT ANSWER OF HEALTHY INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS FOR OCCUPANTS BOTH STAFF AND THE PUBLIC. SO, YOU HAVE TO TACKLE IT FROM BOTH SIDES. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE ADDRESSING THOSE VENTILATION NEEDS AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY NEEDS WHILE OPEN TOE MYSELFING PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE THOSE PENALTIES ARE EITHER NEGATED ALTOGETHER OR MINIMIZE THE IMPACT. HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYING TECHNOLOGY FOR DECADES TO KEEP INDOOR AIR SAFE. THOSE FACILITIES ARE NOW GOING TO TRICKLE THE NORMAL OFFICE BUILDING WHERE THEY DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE OR SCHOOLS. THE BRIGHT SIDE IS TECHNOLOGY EXISTS, SOLUTIONS EXIST. DOWN SIDE IS YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU ACCOUNT FOR ENERGY AND OPTIMIZATION OTHERWISE IT IS GOING TO HIT YOUR POCKETBOOK, YOUR OPERATING BUDGET, IF YOU JUST GO OUT AND START SLAPPING IN TECHNOLOGIES AND TURNING ON YOUR VENTILATION. YOU'LL GET A SHOCKER WHEN THE BILL COMES. MUCH IN. >> Coun. Benton: THE CITY AND COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR RECENTLY UPDATED OUR ENERGY CODES AND YOU THINK THAT WAS A REALLY IMPORTANT STEP. WE KIND OF GOT OUT IN FRONT OF IT. A LOT OF CITIES HAD ALREADY, I THOUGHT, ADOPTED THAT CODE BUT WE GOT ON THE FRONT WAVE OF IT. SO, NOW, WE ARE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ARE INVOLVED IN THAT AND NOTHING TO PREVENT US FROM REQUIRING A HEIGHTER STANDARD IN CITY BUILDINGS. AND EVEN IN THE CITY CODE. FOR HEALTH PURPOSES. TO REQUIRE BETTER VENTILATION. FILTHIES WELL DESIGNED IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT EXPENSIVE. WE HAVE HEAT RECOVER VENTILATORS THAT RECOVER THE HATE ON ITS WAY OUT. >> APPRECIATE KEEPING THIS IN THE FOREFRONT. >> Coun. Borrego: I WILL ONTO COUNCILLOR GIBSON. >> Coun. Gibson: THANK YOU. I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. SORRY IT HAS TAKEN US A LITTLE WHILE LONGER THAN WE WANTED TO HAVE THIS. BUT, I WANTED TO DRAW ONE CONCLUSION THAT I SAW WHEN YOU WERE PRESENTING THAT WE HAVE MADE GOOD TIME OF OUR DOWN TIME DUE TO THE CODE OF SHUT DOWN, SO, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO DIVERT VISITORS, YOU KNOW, AROUND CERTAIN PLACES, AROUND THE KIMO, FOR EXAMPLE, WE WERE ABLE TO GET IN THERE AND GET IT DONE. I AM SURE THERE ARE COST SAVINGS TO THAT. I NOTICED I WAS QUITE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED ABOUT THE SHORT TIME OF RECOUPING COSTS, RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT. YOU LOOK AT, I THINK, THE PROJECTS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT TODAY. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FOUR-AND-A-HALF AND FIVE-AND-A-HALF YEARS WHICH IS A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME TO RECOUP THOSE COSTS THAT THE CITY PUT IN. IT IS ALL GRAVY AS THEY SAY. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING TO HELP CITY IDENTIFY PROJECTS AND IMPROVE THE PROJECTS THAT WE DO HAVE. >> Coun. Borrego: I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION TO BOTH MR. MONTANO AND MS. MILLER THE COUNCIL PASSED AT OUR LAST MEETING A MEMORIAL SENT TO THE LEGISLATURE REGARDING CLIMATE CHANGE AND ASKING THE STATE TO LOOK AT POLICIES REGARDING CLIMATE CHANGE SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT MEMORIAL. I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER IN PROMPT OF ME BUT IF FRONT OF ME. WE APPRECIATE YOU AND THE WORK YOUR COUNCIL IS DOING. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUED COLLABORATION WITH YOU. WITH THAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS GREAT TO SEE YOU AMY. >> THANK YOU COUNCILORS, APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> Coun. Borrego: WE WILL MOVE ONTO OTHER BUSINESS. UNDER OTHER BUSINESS, COUNCILORS, I HAVE A REQUEST FROM TWO OF OUR COUNCILORS TO SWITCH COMMITTEES. I AM FINE WITH THAT BUT I DO NEED A VOTE BECAUSE WE TOOK A VOTE ON THOSE APPOINTMENTS AT OUR LAST COMMITTEE. COUNCILOR SENA WOULD LIKE TO SWITCH WITH COUNCILLOR BENTON. THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE AND NEGOTIATIONS COMMITTEE. SO, UNLESS COUNCILORS HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THAT, I WOULD NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT CHANGE. >> Coun. Gibson: I'LL MOVE APPROVAL OF ITEM A, THE COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. >> Councilor Bassan: SECOND. >> Coun. Borrego: ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, THEN, ALL IN FAVOR? >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. 8-0. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU THAT PASSES AND WE WILL MAKE THAT CHANGE. SO, WE WILL MOVE ONTO ITEM GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENTS IS OUR NEXT ITEM. JUST FOR THE RECORD, I NEED TO READ THIS' THE RECORD. I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK BUT I WILL STILL READ IN INFORMATION INTO THE RECORD. AS WAS STATED EARLIER, LIVE COMMENTS IS TAKEN AND WE DO NOT HAVE ANY FOLKS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK TONIGHT. >> Coun. Borrego: WE DO. BUT AGAIN WE ALSO RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMENTS THAT WERE DISTRIBUTED TO COUNCILORS IN ADVANCE OF TODAY'S MEETING. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL IF THEY HAVE SIGNED UP FOR LIVE PUBLIC COMMENT PER THE RULES PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY. MEMBERS WILL BE MOVED FROM THE ZOOM WAITING ROOM INTO THE MEETING ROOM. THEY WILL REMAIN MUTED UNTIL CALLED UPON TO SPEAK AT WHICH POINT THEY WILL HAVE ONE AND A HALF MINUTES TO PROVIDE COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL. AFTER THAT, THEY WILL BE MUTED. WILL OUR ZOOM MODERATOR PLEASE MOVE THOSE MEMBERS INTO THE ZOOM ROOM AND WE WILL ALLOW THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO SIGNED UP TO SPEAK THEIR TIME. IF YOU ARE JOINING TO US PROVIDE LIVE COMMENTS, IF YOU'RE WATCHING THE LIVE FEED FOR THIS MEETING, PLEASE MUTE OR TURN OFF YOUR SYSTEM AT THIS TIME. HERE THE PUBLIC GROUNDRULES. EACH PARTICIPANT HAS 1 1/2 MINUTES TO PRESENT. COMMENTS ARE TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE COUNCILORS ONLY THROUGH THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT. ANY DISRUPTIVE CONDUCT WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL FROM THE ZOOM ROOM. THERE WILL BE A ONE AND A HALF TIME LIMIT. TIMER STARTS ONCE YOU BEGIN SPEAKING AND ZOOM MODERATOR WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR TIME IS UP. >> DAVID TARTAGLIA: I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY COMMENT RIGHT NOW. I AM JUST HERE FOR THE WILLOW WOOD DEDICATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY. THANK YOU. >> NEXT WILL BE MICHAEL POLK. >> YOU'LL BE FOLLOWED BY ROSE DOYLE. >> MICHAEL: THANK YOU. I WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE TONY SANCHEZ VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY WHICH YOU WILL DEAL WITH LATER. I AM A RESIDENT, ON TONY SANCHEZ DRIVE, AS ORIENTATION THAT DRIVE IS A NORTH/SOUTH RESIDENTIAL ROAD IN THE WILLOW WOOD COMMUNITY PARALLELLING JUAN TABO AND EUBANK AND PERPENDICULAR TO CENTRAL. THE ANALYSIS AND REPORTS SUBMITTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD DEAL WITH THINGS OTHER THAN TRAFFIC SAFETY AND RESIDENT SAFETY IN A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. AS ANECDOTAL EXAMPLE OF INCIDENT ON TONY SANCHEZ, I THINK REFLECTS THIS AND I OFFER FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ALONG WITH ALL THE POLICY AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO YOU. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PERFECT STORM ABOUT TO HAPPEN. NEXT DOOR TO ME A STUDENT AT HIGHLAND HIGH SCHOOL IS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY OF THE RESIDENCE, TWO CARS THAT ARE CUTTING THROUGH WILLOW WOOD ON THEIR WAY TO SANDIA STOP AND ALLOW HER TO BACK OUT AND TRAVEL SOUTH ON TONY SANCHEZ. A THIRD CAR IN THE LINE THAT HAS COME AROUND THE STREET TURNING SOUTH ON TONY SANCHEZ BEGINS TO PASS THE TWO WAITING CARS THAT ARE ALLOWING HER TO BACK OUT AND BEGIN TO PASS HER AS SHE ACCELERATES TO GO FORWARD. SHE SWERVES -- >> Councilor Bassan: I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE REST OF THAT STORY PLEASE. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. YOU MAY PROCEED. >> AS STUDENT ACCELERATES AND PROCEEDS SOUTH THE THIRD CAR THAT WAS IN LINE PASSING HER SWERVES AS SHE SWERVES TO THE LEFT. THERE IS ALSO AT THIS TIME A RESIDENT THAT LIVES ACROSS THE STREET COME OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY ON HIS BICYCLE. HE WORKING AT SAN KEY A. SO YOU HAVE A TEENAGER DRIVING TO SCHOOL, A CAR PASSING THREE OTHER CARS ON TONY SANCHEZ GOING SOUTH AND A BICYCLE RIDER COMING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THE PERFECT STORM ABOUT TO HAPPEN AS ALL THREE OF THESE VEHICLES CONVERGE ON TONY SANCHEZ GOING SOUTH. LUCKILY, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE BIKE RIDER WITH AN 18 MONTH OLD SON WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HE ENTERED THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE THAT PULLED OUT TO PASS, CONTINUED PASSING THE THREE VEHICLES AND GOING THROUGH THE STOP SIGN WITHOUT A FULL STOP, MOVING ONTO WHERE HE WAS GOING IN THE SANDIA PARK TECHNOLOGY PARK OR AT SANDIA. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT OCCURS NOT TO THIS SEVERE DEGREE BUT TO A DEGREE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WITH A CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC EXCEEDING SPEED LIMIT AND SHOWING A DISREGARD FOR THE OTHERS THAT LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND OTHER TRAFFIC THAT IS CUTTING THROUGH. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER TRAFFIC SAFETY, RESIDENT SAFETY WITH THE OTHER INFORMATION THAT IS PROVIDED TO YOU TECHNICALLY REGARDING THE VACATION OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND ALLOWING THE COMMUNITY OF WILLOWWOOD TO ASSUME THE PROPERTY FROM THE CITY. THANK YOU. >> ROSE DOYLE: MY NAME IS ROSE DOJLE. CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING TREATED WITH NO HUMANITY BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN YOUR HOME TOWN? CAN YOU IMAGINE SITTING DOWN WITH DETECTIVES LESS THAN 12 HOURS YOU FOUND OUT YOUR FATHER WAS KILLED BY THE POLICE AND TOLD THAT YOUR FATHER COMMITTED SUICIDE BY COP. WHEN YOU SAID THERE WAS NO WAY THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT, YOU WERE TOLD YOU WERE WRONG. POLICE TOLD US WE WERE WRONG. CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING TOLD THAT THE OFFICERS INVOLVED HAD RIGHTS AND THOSE RIGHTS AND THOSE OFFICERS NEEDED TO BE RESPECTED. IN THAT MOMENT CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT WAS LIKE, THAT IS HOW MY SON WAS TREATED BY APD. THOSE -- TWO WHOLE WEEKS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND GET THEIR STORIES STRAIGHT. >> HE WAS LISTED AS A JOHN DOE AT THE HOSPITAL. APD HAD ACCESS TO HIS WALLET AND EVERY SINGLE ID FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO NOTIFY THE FAMILY. WE RECEIVED A CALL 12 HOURS AFTER HE DIED. APD NEEDS REFORM AND TRAINING, THE CITY NEEDS TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND START TREATING ITS CITIZENS -- THANK YOU. >> BUCK: I AM GOING TO VOICE MY OPINION ON THE GATE -- WHERE WE CAN GET THE GATE BUILT ON GIBSON AND TONY SANCHEZ DRIVE SOUTHEAST. JANUARY 5 OF THIS YEAR. CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC IS HORRENDOUS ON OUR STREET AND WE NEED TO HAVE A GATE PUT UP IN THAT SPOT SO THAT WE CAN CUT DOWN ON THE CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC. THERE IS OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT WILL BE SPEAKING LATER ON THIS, BUT THE CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC IN OUR AREA IS HAS GOTTEN REALLY BAD AND THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT WE HAVE NOW THAT I THINK IS TO GET THE LAND VACATED FROM THE CITY, SO THAT WE CAN BUILD OUR GATE AND CLOSE THAT ACCESS OFF SO THAT WE CAN MORE SAFETY ON THAT STREET. AND IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. WE LISTENED TO THE PROPOSALS ON SOME OTHER AVENUES IN THE VOLTERA AREA. THERE WAS THREE ROADS THEY SUGGESTED WE COULD PROBABLY GET BUILT BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE US 36 MILLION TO BUILD THAT. SO, THE EASIEST AND CHEAPEST WAY FOR US TO GET RID OF THE CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC AND SPEEDING IS TO BUILD THE GATE AND WE NEED THAT LAND VACATED SO WE CAN DO THAT. THANK YOU. >> I AM THE PRESIDENT OF WILLOW WOOD SPEAKING FAVOR OF 13D. I HAVE BEEN THE PRESIDENT SINCE 2014 TO HELP MITIGATE CRIME AND TRAFFIC CONCERNS. WILLOWWOOD HAS SEVERE TRAFFIC ISSUES AND WE FORMED A MULTI MEMBER COMMIT TOY TRY SOLUTIONS TO TRAFFIC CONCERNS. COMMITTEE DETERMINED VACATION RIGHT-OF-WAY AT INTERSECTION TONY SANCHEZ WAS FEASIBLE. IN 2016 PUBLISHED PETITION TO DETERMINE NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT. PETITION WAS ADVERTISED. PETITION GREW IN POPULARITY AND RECOGNIZED AT KRQE NEWS. I WAS ABLE TO FURTHER PUBLICIZE OUR GROWING CONCERNS. IT WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORTED THE VACATION. 2019, CONSENSUS PLANNING WAS HIRED TO HELP WILLOWWOOD NAVIGATE THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE VACATION. SINCE THAT TIME, CITY CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STUDY AND FOUND APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE TRAFFIC FLOWING THROUGH WILLOWWOOD WAS CUT-THROUGH. THIS NUMBER IS ALARMING AND GREATER THAN ACCEPTABLE STANDARD SET FORTH BY TRAFFIC ENGINEERING. THIS WAS EXPLAINED BY TIM BROWN AT THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING. IN ADDITION A STUDY REVEALED ADDITIONAL AVENUES NEEDED FOR THE JUAN TABO HILLS COMMUNITY LOCATED SOUTH. THEIR TRAFFIC COMMUNITIES ARE IN THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. 86% OF WILLOWWOOD BELIEVE THAT CUT THROUGH WILL TRAFFIC IS A PROBLEM AND 74% OF THOSE RESIDENTS ARE IN FAVOR OF VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY OR ADDITIONAL MEASURES. JANUARY 5 A RESIDENT WAS HOSPITALIZED AFTER A MOVING VEHICLE STRUCK HIM ON TONY SANCHEZ DRIVE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. VIDEO REVEALS DRIVER WAS AT FAULT. THIS DEMONSTRATES HOW DANGEROUS THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME. WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT AND PERSISTENT AND I DEDICATED LAST SEVEN YEARS OF MY LIFE TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY. I URGE YOUR TO RECOGNIZE OUR GROWING CONCERNS. I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TODAY. I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS, IF NECESSARY. >> THANK YOU. I LIVE AT 116 ZERO 7. I AM SPEAKING FAVOR OF GATING TONY SANCHEZ, HERE BECAUSE THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC POSES A THREAT TO MY SENIOR NEIGHBORS AND CHILDREN. THREE OF MY NEAREST NEIGHBORS IN 70'S OR 80'S AND PARTIALLY PHYSICALLY DISABLED. EXPRESSED APPREHENSION TO CROSS STREETS TO COLLECT THEIR MAIL. EVERY MORNING AND EVENING OFTEN AT LUNCH I WATCH PEOPLE USING THE SPEED HUMP IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE TO RECREATE FAVORITE DEDUCT'S OF HAZARD EPISODE. AT ANY HOURS OF THE DAY I CAN WATCH DRIVERS IGNORE STOP SIGNS. I WAS RUNNING AT LUNCH TIME AND I CAME UP GIBSON AND I SAW A CAR PULL THE STOP SIGN WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN TO LOOK. AT THE SAME TIME I SAW A FED EX TRUCK EXIT THE MOBILE HOME. ONE OF MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS TOLD ME SHE HAD TO DIVE INTO THE SHRUBS TWICE FOR THE SAME SORT OF SITUATION. SINCE I RUN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD I ALSO HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE ALL THE AIRPLANE SIZE LIQUOR BOTTLES DISCARDED BY THE SIDE OF THE STREET. THEY PURCHASE THESE SO THEY CAN CRUISE WITHOUT HAVING OPEN BOTTLE IN THEIR VEHICLE. WHILE I WAS SHOVELING SNOW FROM ONE OF MY INVALID NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY, I OBSERVE ADD CAR TRAVELING EAST AND IT WAS ICEY AND EXCEEDING 25-MILE AN OUR. I COULD SEE HIM HOLDING HIS CELL PHONE UP IN FRONT OF HIS FACE. ANYONE CROSSING THE STREET WHO COULDN'T RUN QUICKLY OVER ICE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS DIFFICULTY. SEVERAL YEARS AGO I CREATED A VIDEO SHOWING CONSTANT STREAM OF TRAFFIC MUCH OF IT NOT STRONG AT TONY SANCHEZ AND GIBSON. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE THIS VIDEO WITH ANY INTERESTED PARTIES. I CAN'T EMAIL IT TO YOU. I WANT TO STRESS THAT WHILE CURRENT TRAFFIC VOLUME IS UNACCEPTABLE, BEHAVIOR OF MANY OF THE CUT-THROUGH DRIVERS IS WORTH. WILLOWWOOD IS A COLLECTION OF ROADS TO TAKE THEM TO AND FROM WORK AND THEY USE THEM WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF RESPECT. IF SOMEONE CAME INTO YOUR HOME AND TREATED YOUR BATHROOM THE WAY THEY TREATED A GAS STATION REST ROOM. YOU WOULDN'T INVITE THEM BACK AGAIN. >> WE HAVE FOUR OTHERS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, BUT THEY DID NOT JOIN THE MEETING. THIS CONCLUDES GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO READ THIS INTO THE RECORD. ALL PUBLIC COMMENTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN THIS EVENING AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT NOTICES THAT WE DID HAVE SPEAKERS. ALL PUBLIC COMMENTERS ARE BEING MOVED OUT OF THE ZOOM MEETING AT THIS TIME. YOU CAN CONTINUE TO WATCH THE MEETING ON OUR ZOOM WEBINAR OR LIVE FEED ON YOUTUBE, CHANNEL 16 OR GOV CHANNEL ON LINE. SO, COUNCILORS WE WILL PROCEED WITH OUR AGENDA. >> NO. 5, ADMINISTRATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE ONE THAT I KNOW OF WHICH IS A NONPROFIT MS. HARRISON? DO YOU HAVE THAT PERSON IN THE WAITING ROOM? >> HARRISON: I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. IS THIS IS A REPORT ON HOW THE CITY HAS PARTNERED WITH NONPROFITS OVER FISCAL YEAR '20 THROUGH CONTRACTS. THE GREATEST NUMBER CELEBRATE IS THAT THE CITY PROVIDED OVER 64.5 MILLION-DOLLARS TO OVER 250 ORGANIZATIONS NONPROFIT AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS OVER FISCAL YEAR '20. AND SO IF WE COULD MOVE DOWN TO PAGE 14 I'LL SHOW YOU THAT OUR NO. 1 DEPARTMENT THAT WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT WORKS WITH OVER 78 ORGANIZATIONS AT A LEVEL OF 52.6 MILLION OVER THAT FISCAL YEAR AND YOU SEE THEY PROMOTE THEIR WORK THROUGH FIVE PARTICULAR AREAS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, HOUSING STABILITY, INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY RESILIENCE, PUBLIC SAFETY, AGING AND DIGNITY. WE HAVE PROJECT HIGHLIGHT FOR THEM ON THE VERY NEXT PAGE. IF YOU SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE BIT THIS IS THE ALBUQUERQUE STREET CONNECT DISCUSSION AND THIS IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN APD AND UNM HEALTH AND A NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS, IN PARTICULAR, HEADING HOME TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AS WELL AS HOUSING STABILITY. THIS IS THROUGHOUT REACH WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE HIGH USERS OF PUBLIC SERVICES DOWNTOWN AND IT IS REALLY INCREDIBLE PROGRAM THAT STARTED IN 2016. THAT IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE HOW THE CITY UTILIZED FUNDS TO SUPPORT SOCIAL PROJECTS GOING ON DOWNTOWN WITH NONPROFITS. WE ARE GOING TO SKIP TO PAGE 19. THIS WILL NEXT DISCUSSION IS ABOUT WHAT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN DOING WITH NONPROFITS OVER FISCAL YEAR '20. YOU'LL SEE 7.7 MILLION WAS PUT INTO 40 DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY ORDER NIGHTS 75% OF THEIR CONTRACTS THROUGH NONPROFITS. HIGHLIGHT THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT ON THE VERY NEXT PAGE IS THROUGH INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CENTER AND THAT IS IN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON FILM AND MEDIA. INCUBATOR FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO WORK IN FILM AND MEDIA OR STARTING BUSINESSES. THEY DO WORKSHOPS, THEY PROVIDE PHYSICAL SPACE AND ECONOMIC DEPARTMENT PROVIDED FUNDING FOR THEM TO CONTINUE THEIR WORK. SO, THESE ARE TWO EXAMPLES OF IMPACTFUL ORGANIZATIONS WORKING WITH THE CITY TO CREATE DIRECT IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY ACROSS ACTUALLY ALL DISTRICTS, THIS REPORT REFLECTS WORK WITH ALL THOSE DEPARTMENTS ANDS SO THERE IS MORE DISCUSSIONS ON CULTURAL SERVICES, SENIOR ANARES, ANIMAL WELFARE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. THERE ARE SOME GREAT THINGS CELEBRATE AND ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR AND YOU WANT TO DIVE THIS REPORT, IT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE UNDER CIVIC ENGAGEMENT ANNUAL REPORTS. I AM GLAD TO HAVE TIME WITH YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> Coun. Borrego: MUCH OF THIS WORK IS DONE BY VOLUNTEERS ANY QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Davis: SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AN THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS BUT SINCE YOU HIGHLIGHTED IT. I WANT TO PUT THIS MARKER THERE IF YOU CAN TELL US. PART OF THE COLLABORATION WITH GETTING MONEY OUT INTO PARTNERSHIPS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN IN TRYING TO SPIN THE 2 PLUS MILLION OR SO ALLOCATED FOR HOMELESS SERVICES AND WASN'T SPENT. FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES BROUGHT AS YOU PLAN ABOUT HOW TO DO THAT BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT MONEY STILL ISN'T FLOWING. CAN YOU TELL US STATUS THAT OF PROJECT AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE -- >> MADAM PRESIDENT AND COUNCILOR DAVIS, THIS IS MIKE AND I JUST WANT TO RESPOND TO THAT. I WANT TO THANK ENTIRE COUNCIL. THE PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT IS TO SHARE WITH THE COMMUNITY HOW MUCH THE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COUNCIL AND YOUR APPROPRIATIONS ARE WORKING WITH ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE CITY. SO, FIRST THING I WANTED TO DO IS SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR WORKING WITH US TO GET MONEY OUT FOR ALL THESE GREAT PARTNERS. AS FAR AS SPECIFICS ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR CONTRACT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT OF MARIAH CAN ANSWER RIGHT NOW AND WE CAN CIRCLE BACK ON THE DETAILS. >> HARRISON: UNFORTUNATELY COUNCILOR DAVIS AT THIS TIME I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC ANSWERS BUT I DO THINK IT IS RELEVANT TO QUITE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THE NONPROFITS SO I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET BACK TO YOU. >> WE'LL CIRCLE BACK. >> Coun. Davis: MIKE, IF YOU COULD DO THAT WITH US, ORIGINAL PLAN WAS THOSE FUND WOULD BE FLOWING IN JANUARY AND CONTRACTS STILL AREN'T SIGNED BUT CIRCULATING WITH CIRCUMSTANCES. WE DO HAVE FOLKS LINED UP FOR HOUSING. I WOULD APPRECIATE AN UPDATE. MAYBE WE CAN FOLLOW-UP OFF LINE AND THANKS SO MUCH. >> Coun. Borrego: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF COUNSELORS. IF NOT, THANK YOU. >> I WOULD JUST MENTIONED THAT I WAS INFORMED AT OUR NEXT MERE SCHEDULE FOR UPDATE ON THE VOUCHER PROGRAM. SO, JUST LET THE COUNCILORS SO THEY CAN BE AWARE OF THAT. THAT WE WILL HAVE THAT PRESENTATION. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATION AT THIS TIME FROM COUNCILORS. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING AHEAD OF TIME. UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING HE WILL, WE WILL MOVE ON. COUNCILLOR GIBSON YOU HAVE INFORMATION ON OUR JOURNAL. >> Coun. Gibson: I DO HAVE A MOTION. I MOVE APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 20TH JOURNAL. >> Coun. Borrego: LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILOR BASSAN AND SEVERAL OTHERS. SO, I NEED A VOTE ON THIS. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. >> 8-0. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. WE WILL MOVE ONTO COMMUNICATIONS AND INTRODUCTIONS. ARE THERE ANY CHANGES TO THE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION? I WILL GO TO COUNCILLOR PENA. >> Coun. Pena: THANK YOU. I MOVE THAT THE RULES BE SUSPENDED TO INTRODUCE R-133 TO REFER TO PUBLIC SAFETY. COMMISSIONS UPDATE TO THE 20 FORM ANALYSIS STUDY AND ADJUSTING FISCAL YEAR 2021 GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THAT PURPOSE. >> Coun. Borrego: I HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCILOR SONA. WE NEED A 2/3 VOTE OF COUNCILORS PRESENT. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. >> 8-0. >> Coun. Borrego: PASSES ON 8-0 VOTE. SO WE WILL MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS, COUNCILOR SENA WOULD YOU LIKE TO PRESENT THIS. >> Coun. Sena: MOVE RULES BE SUSPENDED FOR THE PURPOSE OF. INTRODUCING R-134 AND REFERRING TO FINANCE AND GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS. ESTABLISHING A PRIORITY LIST FOR THE CITY ALBUQUERQUE'S -- (INAUDIBLE). >> Coun. Borrego: I ALSO NEED 2/3 OF THE COUNCILORS PRESENT TO VOTE ON THIS IN ORDER FOR IT TO PASS. >> Coun. Davis: COULD I ASK A QUESTION. OF I JUST WANTED TO ASK, I REALIZE THIS IS FOR LATE INTRODUCTION AND GOING TO FGO. IT MENTIONS SOME NEW PRIORITIES. HAS THIS GONE THROUGH THE OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD BEFORE IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL. THESE AREN'T NORMALLY DONE BY LATE INTRO WITHOUT THAT REFERRAL. >> RAEL: YES, THAT LIST THAT IS BEFORE YOU IN THIS RESOLUTION WAS APPROVED BY THE OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD ON THE 26TH OF JANUARY, SO, WE ARE NOW FORWARDING IT TO COUNCIL FOR YOUR FORMAL ADOPTION. >> Coun. Davis: THANK YOU. TEXT WASN'T AVAILABLE EARLIER AND MS. ORTEGA JUST SENT THAT TO US AS WELL. >> Coun. Pena: I WASN'T SURE I HAD RECEIVED SOME CALLS FROM SOME OF THE MEMBERS AND I DON'T THINK THERE IS CLARITY ON WHETHER IT HAD BEEN OR NOT. I WAS CONCERNED WITH THAT. >> RAEL: IF THE QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THE OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD REVIEWED AND MET FORMAL MEETING ON IN THE ANSWER IS YES. AGAIN THEY MET ON JANUARY 26 AND TOOK UP THE PROJECTS AND APPROVED PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE RESOLUTION TO MOVE FORWARD AND VOTE WAS 5-0 FROM THE BOARD THAT AFTERNOON. SO THIS IS WHY WE ARE FORMALLY TRANSMITTING IT TO YOU ALL TODAY. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Pena: I WANTED CLARITY BECAUSE I RECEIVED COMMUNICATION THAT THEY HAD NOT. SO, I DON'T KNOW OBVIOUSLY WE'LL HAVE MORE TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT THE BREAK DOWN IN COMMUNICATION IS. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Gibson: MY QUESTION IS OF WHY THIS DOES NOT GO BEFORE LUPZ? IT IS CLEARLY A LAND USE. WHY FGO VERSUS LAND USE PLANNING AND ZONING? >> RAEL: OBVIOUSLY I THINK OTHERS MAKE THE CALL ON THOSE BUT THIS IS NOT A LAND USE DECISION AS MUCH AS IT IS A PROCUREMENT AND PRIORITIZATION OF PURCHASING OF LAND. I WILL TO MS. YARA FOR HER COMMENTS. >> YARA: SO, TRADITIONALLY THESE PRIORITY FOR OPEN SPACE HAVE GONE TO FINANCE AND GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT RELATE TO ZONING ISSUES. THEY ARE RELATED TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND ACQUISITION OF LAND WHICH IS GOVERNED BY OF A FINANCIAL TRUST WHICH ALSO GETS HEARD AT FGO COMMITTEE. SO HISTORICALLY THESE HAVE GONE TO FGO. >> Coun. Benton: THANK YOU. AS MUCH AS I HATE TO DISPUTE MS. YARA, I THINK THE MOST RECENT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE OPEN SPACE ORDINANCES AND TO THE ROLE OF THE ADVISORY BOARD WERE HEARD BY THE LUPZ. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT AND MAYBE CONFIRM THAT. BUT AS THE SPONSOR OF MANY OF THOSE AMENDMENTS, I THINK WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE CASE IS THAT WE NEED FURTHER DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL TOWARDS THE OPEN SPACE SYSTEM AS TO HOW WE DEAL WITH SUCH THINGS AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THIS SHOULD BE IMMEDIATE ACTION AND I DO QUESTION THE REFERRAL AND I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK BACK ON THE RECORD WITH REGARD TO THE OPEN SPACE SYSTEM AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND THEN START TO DEAL WITH WHAT IS PROPOSED HERE. >> Coun. Jones: THE BOARD ONLY VOTED FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE ON THE LIST. THEY DID NOT VOTE TO TAKE THE MONEY FROM THE TRUST FUND. THIS IS THE BIG ISSUE. IS . IT IS NOT OF NEEDING TO MOVE QUICKLY. IS THIS A TAKING OF THIS PROPERTY? OR IS THE OWNER FIGURED INTO PURCHASE AGREEMENT. ARE THEY WILLING TO SELL THE PROPERTY. IT HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS ALLOT. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD DO THIS QUICKLY WITHOUT PUBLIC COMMENT AND WITHOUT OUR KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. MOVING TOO FAST, TOO MANY QUESTIONS, AND I WOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS AT THIS TIME. >> RAEL: MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I JUST WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR. LATE INTRODUCTION BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO GET THE INFORMATION FROM THE OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE ARE FINE WITH IT GOING TO THROUGH THE NORMAL COURSE MUCH BUSINESS WHETHER IT IS AT LUPZ OR FINANCE. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT TONIGHT IS THAT YOU ALL GIVE US AUTHORITY TO INTRODUCE IT SO WE CAN HAVE THE COUNCIL CONVERSATION OVER THE NEXT MONTH. WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL CLEAR ABOUT THAT. SECONDLY, AS IT RELATES TO APPROPRIATION PIECE THAT IS THE CONVERSATION TO HAVE WITH THE COUNCIL. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE DECISION TO ACTUALLY USE CITY FUNDS RESTS WITH THE COUNCIL AND NOT WITH THE OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD. THE CONVERSATION WAS HAD WITH THE BOARD ABOUT POTENTIALLY UTILIZING THE TRUST FUND BUT WE ALSO CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE STATE APPROPRIATION THAT IS ALSO PART OF THIS PACKAGE. WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AT THE COMMITTEE MEETING. >> Coun. Borrego: WE HAVE THREE COUNCILORS WAITING TO SPEAK BUT I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER TO MR. MELENDRES. MAYBE HE CAN CLARIFY SOME ISSUES BEFORE WE GO BACK. >> MELENDRES: THE AMENDMENT THAT COUNCILLOR BENTON IS REFERRING TO WAS. I DON'T HAVE IT UP. CITY COUNCIL AMENDED PROCESS THROUGH WHICH OPEN SPACE PROPERTY WAS ADDED TO THE CITY'S PRIORITY LIST AND IN THAT PROCESS, THE ORDINANCE WAS CHANGED SO THAT OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD WOULD MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL. SO, THE LIST USED TO BE PREPARED BY OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD AND TRANSMITTED TO CITY COUNCIL BUT NOW CITY COUNCIL IS FINAL APPROVAL OF THAT RECOMMENDATION LIST. HOWEVER, THOSE ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS DO NOT DEFINE WHICH SPECIFIC COMMITTEE THAT IT WOULD GO THROUGH. THAT IS STILL DEFINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL RULES. SOMETIMES IT IS A BIT OF READING FINE PRINT TO MAKE TIPPING POINT BETWEEN FGO AND LUPZ. BASED ON HISTORIC PRACTICE THESE WOULD GO THROUGH FGO. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. I WILL GO TO COUNCILOR SENA COUNCILOR DAVIS AND THEN JONES. >> Coun. Sena: I WANTED TO NOTE FOR THE PUBLIC THAT WE ARE -- (INAUDIBLE). I AM TRYING TO STICK TO THE POINT OF THIS JUST BEING VOTED FOR INTRODUCTION AND NOT THE BILL SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I WITH LIKE TO DISCUSS THAT FURTHER WITHIN OUR COMMITTEE, TO GO OVER THE DETAILS AND GIVE OPPORTUNITY AT FGO AND TO SPEAK WITH MEMBERS OF OPEN SPACE ADVISORY. I AM SPEAKING OF THE PROCESS WE ARE VOTING ON WHICH IS HAVING THESE INTRODUCED SO WE CAN FURTHER DISCUSS THE ACTUAL BILL FURTHER IN COMMITTEE AND THEN LATER ON AT COUNCIL. >> Coun. Davis: SHE TOLD MY THUNDER. I STARTED THESE QUESTIONS, LET ME SAY I THINK THIS CONVERSATION SHOWS THAT WE WANT TO HAVE OWE BUS DISCUSSION AND READY TO DO IT. >> WE'LL SEND IT TO COMMITTEE AND IF WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS WE NEED. (INAUDIBLE). >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR JONES. I AM GOING ONTO COUNCILLOR BENTON. I THINK COUNCILOR JONES, HER SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE FROZEN. >> Coun. Benton: THANK YOU. I WOULD JUST SAY, WITH REGARD TO WHAT COUNCILOR DAVIS SAID I AM NOT OPPOSED FOR IT BEING INTRODUCED ALTHOUGH I THINK SOMETHING THIS SIGNIFICANT, IT GIVES ME THE WRONG IMPRESSION WHEN IT WASN'T INTRODUCED TIMELY AND NOW SUDDENLY IT IS A LATE INTRO. THAT DOES BOTHER ME. I AM GOING TO SAY THAT RIGHT UP FRONT BUT NONETHELESS I AM NOT OPPOSED TO IT BEING INTRODUCED BUT I ASK THAT WE LOOK INTO THE HISTORY OF DISCUSSIONS WITH REGARD TO THIS. THE COMMITTEE IS LAND USE PLANNING AND ZONING. IT IS NOT ZONING COMMITTEE.G6t OKAY? LET'S GET REALLY CLEAR THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH JUST AS IT SAYS, I THINK, IT IS VERY WELL NAMED THAT COMMITTEE AND THAT COMMITTEE DOES GOOD WORK AND THAT IS WHAT IT IS FOLK YOU WOULD ON AND SO THIS IS NOT JUST SOME FISCAL MATTER, YEAH, WE ARE THROWING A CHUNK OF CHANGE AT A REAL ESTATE DEAL. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT POLICY MATTER FOR THE CITY WITH REGARD TO OUR OPEN SPACE SYSTEM. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Borrego: BACK TO COUNCILOR JONES IF SHE IS BACK WITH US. >> Coun. Jones: THANK YOU. FOR SOME REASON ZOOM DECIDED IT DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY WITH ME ANYMORE. I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH COUNCILLOR BENTON. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE ZOOM THROUGH, NO PUN INTENDED BUT WE NEED TO STUDY THIS. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A BUNCH OF MONEY COME OUT OF A FUND SUPPOSED TO BE USED WISELY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS COME UP WITH THE FGO AND BEFORE LUPZ FIRST. AND BEFORE THE FULL COUNCIL SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, PERHAPS, A CHANGE FROM THE FGO TO LUPZ. BECAUSE WE ARE -- LUPZ IS LAND USE PLANNING AND ZONING. THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED LONG BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT FINANCES. SO, THANK YOU. >> MELENDRES: GIVEN THE WAY THE DISCUSSION IS GOING I THINK IT IS HELPFUL TO NOTE AGAIN THE SCRIPPORS ABOUT HOW WE ASSIGN COMMITTEE ARE LENGTHSY. THERE ARE SOME GRAY AREAS. THIS REFERRAL WAS MORE BASED ON HISTORY OF HOW THOSE REFERRALS WENT THEY ARE RELATED TO ACQUISITIONS. THE LAND USE COMMITTEE DOES INCLUDE LANGUAGE THAT SAYS ITS JURISDICTION INCLUDES OPEN LAND. DOESN'T REFERENCE OPEN SPACE LAND. PERHAPS HISTORICALLY THAT IS INTERPRETED TO MEAN DEVELOPMENT OF OPEN LAND. IF THE COUNCIL DOES FEEL DIFFERENT CITY ASSIGNMENT OR DOUBLE COMMITTEE IS APPROPRIATE, LETTER MAY BE AMENDED FOR THAT PURPOSE TO SEND IT TO BOTH COMMITTEES, IF THAT IS THE CHOICE. OF. >> Coun. Borrego: WE HAVE A MOTION BEFORE US THAT THE RULES BE SUSPENDED FOR REFERRING THIS TO FINANCE AND GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS. WE NEED 2/3 OF A VOTE. WE DID HAVE A SECOND ON THAT, RIGHT? IF NOT, I'LL SECOND THAT. DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A VOTE? >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: NO. >> Coun. Davis: NO. >> Coun. Gibson: NO. >> Coun. Jones: NO. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. MOTION FAILS ON A 4-4 VOTE. >> Coun. Borrego: MOTION FAILS ON A 4-4 VOTE. SO, WITH THAT, THEN, THIS WILL MOVE ONTO THE REGULAR PROCESS, I GUESS, OUR ATTORNEY WILL HELP US TO DETERMINE WHAT COMMITTEE THIS NEEDS TO GO ONTO. >> IF I MAY, GIVEN THAT THE MOTION WAS FOR LATE INTRODUCTION AND THAT MOTION FAILED WHAT WOULD OCCUR NOW IS IT COULD GET INTRODUCED AT NEXT COUNCIL MEETING IF SPONSOR SO CHOOSES. >> Coun. Borrego: NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS,. >> Coun. Benton: POINT OF ORDER. MAY I ASK THAT THERE BE SOME CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO PUTTING THIS BEFORE BOTH COMMITTEE SINCE ITS INCLUDES LAND USE AND FISCAL MATTERS. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. THAT WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AND WE WILL HAVE AN OPINION FROM OUR LEGAL COUNCIL ATTORNEY. MOVING ONTO NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS. >> RAEL. IF I MIGHT ASK THE COUNCIL JUST FOR A SECOND TO THINK ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR INTRODUCTION. I REALIZE THAT WE ARE PROBABLY HAVING TWO DIFFERENT DEBATES ABOUT THIS BILL. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, AGAIN, THIS WAS JUST A BILL THAT WAS UNFORTUNATELY NOT ABLE TO GET TO YOU ALL IN TIME. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET IT UNDER DUESED SO WE CAN START THE PROCESS. THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WE BELIEVE POTENTIALLY TO HAVE A RESOLUTION TO THIS LONG-STANDING ISSUE RELATED TO THIS PROPERTY AND THERE IS A TIMING ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH IT THAT MAY GET US ALL TO A PLACE WHERE BOTH THE SELLER AND COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS DECISION THAT COULD BE MADE HERE IN THE NECK 30 TO 45 DAYS. TONIGHT'S ACTION SIMPLY MEANS WE ARE DELAYED ANOTHER TWO WEEKS AND ALL WE ARE ASKING IS THAT WE GET THIS INTRODUCED, WHETHER IT GOES TO FINANCE OR TO LUPZ IS REALLY NOT AN ISSUE FOR US. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COUNCIL KNOWS THIS IS A MATTER OF TIMING WHERE WE HAVE INDO OF OPPORTUNITY TO POTENTIALLY HAVE THIS ISSUED SETTLED WITH THE COMMUNITY AS WHOLE WHERE BOTH THE SELLER OF THE PROPERTY AND THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT WALKS OUT WITH WHAT I WOULD CALL A WIN-WIN FOR THE COMMUNITY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT ADDITIONAL PITCH BECAUSE THIS IS ALL WE ARE DOING TONIGHT IS JUST ASKING YOU TO INTRODUCE IT AND THE VOTE THAT TOOK PLACE NOW MEANS DELAYS AND IT COULD JEOPARDIZE WHAT MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SETTLE THIS ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL. JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE TABLE FOR YOU ALL TO THINK ABOUT. AND THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. >> Coun. Davis: I APPRECIATE THAT AND I WANT TO RESPOND AND HAVING VOTED IN NEGATIVE, I MIGHT BE WILLING TO RECONSIDER AT A LATER POINT BUT THE CONCERN HERE FROM MY POINT OF VIEW IS THAT IF SOMEONE HAS BEEN NEGOTIATING ABOUT THIS AROUND SOME DOLLAR FIGURE THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT, COUNCIL DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE TEXT OF THIS LEGISLATION AVAILABLE BEFORE THE MEETING. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PLACES MOVING THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE THE COUNCILOR PRESUMED THERE WOULD BE FUNDING AVAILABLE. WE WANT MORE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE HOW QUICKLY THAT IS. MAYBE WE CAN TAKE A STEP BACKWARDS. IF SOMEONE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR MONTHS AND WE JUST GOT IT AT 2:00 IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS A GOOD PROCESS. MAYBE WE REVISIT IT LATER. >> Coun. Gibson: THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE WHAT COUNCILOR DAVIS JUST SAID BUT THERE WAS SECOND VOTE ON OPEN SPACE WHICH EFFECTIVELY SLOWS THIS DOWN A LITTLE BIT. I THINK THAT IF WE GO THROUGH BOTH OF THE COMMITTEE, BOTH LAND USE PLANNING AND ZONING AS WELL AS FGO AND TAKE THIS THROUGH INTRODUCTION IN A NORMAL WHICH WE WON'T SETBACK THE PROCESS. >> Coun. Sena: OF I JUST WANT TO REITERATE WHAT WAS SAID AND THIS WILL DISCUSSION HAS BEEN COMING FOR SOMETIME AND THIS WAS A LATE INTRODUCTION BECAUSE OF TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LANGUAGE WAS AWWA INTENDED. SOME OF THIS DISCUSSION OF WHAT WAS TALKED ABOUT EVEN IN OPEN SPACE FOR THAT SECOND VOTE. (INAUDIBLE). I CAN'T WITNESS TO SPOKE -- I DO BELIEVE IT IS TIMELY TO BE HEARD, I MEAN, JUST INTRODUCED SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DISCUSSING THE COMMITTEE. I WILL SAY IN REGARDS TO SOME OF THE FUNDING, I AM SPENDING MONEY AT THE LEGISLATURE AS WELL. IT IS NOT SPECIFICATION TO THE REQUEST. WE ARE LOOKING AT ALL AVAILABLE FUNDING. I HOPE THAT WE DO RECONSIDER THIS VOTE BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE IT IS TIMELY AND THINKING ABOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS. I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO MUCH INTO THE PROPERTY ITSELF AND SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS IN THE PROCESS. I HOPE WE DO CONSIDER THIS LATER ON AT TODAY'S COUNCIL. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. I AM GOING TO ASK THAT WE MOVE ON AND BEFORE WE ACCEPT OUR INTRODUCTIONS TODAY, WE WILL COME BACK AND RECONSIDER THIS IF COUNCILOR SENA WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FOR THAT MOTION. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ONTO COUNCILOR JONES OR COUNCILOR HARRIS AND THEN I HAVE AN ITEM AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO THIS ITEM. SO THAT WILL GIVE COUNCILORS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIGEST THIS A LITTLE BIT. >> Coun. Jones: CARRYING THIS FOR COUNCILOR HARRIS. EC-19-436 AND OC-21-24. >> EC-19-436 IS A PIECE OF LEGISLATION STARTING OUT AS DISCUSSED BY HOMEOWNERS TO DO A CERTAIN THING WITH VACATION OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR THE WILLOW WOOD HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. THEY DISCUSSED THAT WASN'T ACCEPTABLE. HOWEVER, COUNCILOR HARRIS HAS BEEN WORKING FOR MONTHS TO COME UP WITH ALTERNATIVE AND GET ALL THE WORK DONE -- >> Coun. Borrego: SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU. >> Coun. Jones: DO I MAKE TWO MOTIONS OR AT THE SAME TIME. I AM TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO BEFORE I MAKE A MOTION. >> Coun. Borrego: ONE MOTION. >> THERE ARE 2 RELATED BILLS ON THIS. TWO RELATED BILLS, ONE IS EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATION AND ONE IS THE OTHER COMMUNICATION. THEY DO SORT OF THE SAME THING BUT WILL REQUIRE TWO DIFFERENT VOTES. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT IS NOT ON MY SCRIPT TONIGHT BUT WE CAN ADD THAT. >> Coun. Jones: THANK YOU. I WILL JUST GO AHEAD AND SAY THAT COUNCILLOR HARRIS WE WOULD LIKE TO DO A DO NOT APPROVE. IS THAT WHAT I WANT TO DO MR. MELENDRES? ON THE FIRST ONE 19-436. >> MELENDRES. YO, DO NOT APPROVE OR DO NOT PASS. >> Coun. Jones: EC--19, 436, DO NOT PASS. >> YARA: WE NEED YOU TO BILL THE OC BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA TODAY. >> Coun. Jones: IF I MAY, MADAM PRESIDENT, THIS IS A BIT CONFUSING FOR ALL OF US. BEFORE I MOVE ITEM A I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT OC21-25 BE PLACED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. >> Councilor Bassan: SECOND. >> Coun. Borrego: WE'LL GO TO THE VOTE. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. >> 8-0. >> Coun. Borrego: SO, I GUESS, NOW, MR. MELENDRES, AM I CORRECT WE WILL MOVE ONTO 436? WE WILL MOVE ONTO ITEM R-130. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT AT THAT POINT YET, COUNCILOR JONES. I WILL MOVE RULES BE SUSPEND THE FOR THE TURN OF PLACING R-130 ON TODAY'S AGENDA. ESTABLISHING A CITY. THIS IS ONLY FOR INTRODUCTION. >> DO I HAVE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> Councilor Bassan: SECOND. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. I NEED 2/3 VOTE COUNCILORS ON THIS. >> OF. >> Coun. Davis: POINT OF ORDER. OF THE METHOD I UNDERSTOOD THIS WAS PLACED ON AGENDA FOR ACTION AND YOU SAID IT WAS JUST FOR INTRODUCTION. CAN YOU CLARIFY FOR ME. >> Coun. Borrego: THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. IF WE HAVE THE 2/3 VOTE. IF NOT THEN IT GOES TO THROUGH THE REGULAR PROCESS. >> Coun. Davis: IF YOU WOULD PERMIT ME I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENTS ABOUT THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR. THIS WOULD BE AS I UNDERSTAND IT, JUST FROM GLANCING AT IT AS A NEW ITEM, THIS WOULD BE A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL COMMITTEE INCLUDING EVERYTHING FROM PARKS TO FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES TO PUBLIC HEALTH. EQUITY AND INCLUSION. ABOUT 85 TO 90% OF THE CITY'S OPERATING WOULD NOW GO TO THIS COMMITTEE FOR POLICY DEVELOPMENT. I THINK THAT -- I MAY WILL SUPPORT IT BAGS I . I DO IT THIS STRUCTURE OF THIS DESERVES MORE DEBATE AND DISCUSSION WE COULD GIVE IT IN COUNCIL. I WONDER IF THE SPONSOR IS WILLING TO DO IT WITH REGULAR REFERRAL TO A COMMITTIVE OF THE WHOLE SO WE CAN EVALUATE THIS LIKE WE -- >> Coun. Borrego: I WOULD ABSOLUTELY ENTERTAIN THAT, COUNCILOR, SINCE I AM THE WON SUPPORT OF RESCUE OF THIS SPONSOR. THIS IS MORE OF A POLICY COMMITTEE AND WHAT SPARKED SOME OF THIS WAS THE DISCUSSION OF COVID-19 AND HOW WE ARE DEALING WITH COVID-19 BUT ALSO FOR SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH ALBUQUERQUE AND THIS COMMITTEE IS REALLY DESIGNED TO SET POLICY FOR THE CITY TO ENSURE THAT WE MOVE FORWARD AS A HEALTHY COMMUNITY AND A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY. BUT I WOULD ABSOLUTELY -- I COULD REMOVE THIS AT THIS POINT, WITHDRAW IT, AND ASK THIS WE MOVE IT TO OUR REGULAR COMMITTEE PROCESS. >> Coun. Davis: I WOULD DEFER TO THE SPONSOR. THAT WOULD BE A GOOD CONVERSATION FOR TO US HAVE AND ONE WE COULD DO FAIRLY QUICKLY. >> Coun. Borrego: I AM DELIGHTED TO TAKE MY MOTION OFF THE FLOOR ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND WE WILL MOVE IT TO COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSION. >> WHICH COMMITTEE WOULD YOU LIKE IT REFERRED TO. >> Coun. Borrego: (INAUDIBLE). I GOT MUTED BY MY HOST. ACTUALLY IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE WE MIGHT WANT TO HAVE BOTH COMMITTEES REVIEW THIS. COUNCILOR BASSAN? >> Councilor Bassan: WOULD COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE BE APPROPRIATE THAT WAY IT IS JUST ONE COMMITTEE. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT WOULD BE BETTER. I WOULD ENTERTAIN THIS WE MOVE TOE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. >> YARA: I HAVE TO INTERRUPT. UNFORTUNATELY COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE IS PRETTY SOLID JURISDICTION LANGUAGE SO ONLY THINGS THAT HAVE TO DO OPERATING OR CAPITAL BUDGET GO TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. >> Coun. Borrego: MS. YARA? ANY SUGGESTIONS? >> YARA. FGO. >> Coun. Borrego: SHE IS SUGGESTING WE MOVE P IT TO OF FGO. >> Coun. Benton: THANK YOU. I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THAT IT GO TO INTERNAL OPS AND THEN TO STRAIGHT COUNCIL. INTERNAL OPS COULD HAVE A ROUND ROBIN ABOUT IMPLICATIONS AND THEN STRAIGHT TO COUNCIL INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH THE COMMIT PROVIDE ZEST. I THINK IT IS A LEGITIMATE PROPOSAL AND I JUST FEEL LIKE IT IS PRETTY MOMENTTOUS. >> YARA: NORMALLY INTERNAL OPERATION ALSO COMMITTEE IS RESERVED FOR ME TO REPORT TO YOU ALL ON THE STATUS OF OUR OFFICE AND OUR ACTUAL BUDGET FOR THE DEPARTMENT SO, IT IS NOT VERY CLEAR FROM THE RULES IF THIS WOULD FIT THERE BUT THIS WOULD INVOLVE ADMINISTRATION AS WELL SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT IT TO GO TO INTERNAL OPS. >> Coun. Benton: YEAH. OF I THINK THAT IS PART OF THE REASON I THINK THIS BILL IS ORIGINATING IN THE COUNCIL SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT WITHIN THE COUNCIL BEFORE IT GOES TO THE ADMINISTRATION. MAYBE THEY ARE PART OF THE CONCEPT WHICH IS FINE IF THEY ARE, BUT, I AM THINKING LET'S SAY IT GOES TO ONE COMMITTEE AND WHEN WE ASK SHOULD IT GO TO MORE THAN ONE, I WAS THINKING MAYBE IT SHOULD GO TO PUBLIC SAFETY. AND FGO, THEN THAT WOULD COVER THE BASIS. I AM JUST THINKING ALOUD HERE. >> Coun. Borrego: IS IT APPROPRIATE TO -- THIS IS A FAR REACHING COMMITTEE AND I UNDERSTAND AND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT WE ARE CLEAR ABOUT WHERE IT SHOULD GO AT THIS POINT IN TIME. IT JUST ILLUSTRATES THE NEED FOR A POLICY COMMITTEE AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL. SO IT MAY BE APPROPRIATE THAT IT GOES TO FGO AND THAT WE REVIEW THIS IN SEVERAL COMMITTEES. >> YARA: THANK YOU. THANKS FOR ELECTING ME COUNCILOR. I HAVE A SUGGESTION, PERHAPS, THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE FOR THIS ITEM TO BE HELD OVER SO THE FULL COUNCIL CAN HEAR ABOUT IT NEXT TIME OR AT A FUTURE MEETING AND IT WOULD BYPASS COMMITTEE IF THAT WERE THE PLEASURE. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT IS A BETTER SUGGESTION AND THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION REGARDING THIS BILL. IF COUNCILORS AGREE TO THAT, THEN WE CAN SEND THIS TO FULL COUNCIL I DON'T SEE A NO. I BEST THAT MEANS YES., WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO ITEM R-134. UNLESS THERE IS ANY OTHER DISCUSSION REGARDING THAT PREVIOUS BILL? R-134 IS ESTABLISHING A PRIORITIES LIST FOR THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE'S FUTURE OPEN SPACE LAND ACQUISITIONS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION? >> ONE OF THE COUNCILORS WHO VOTED AGAINST THE MOTION HAS TO BE THE MAKER OF THE MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION. >> Coun. Davis: WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THAT RECONSIDERATION. >> Coun. Davis: I THINK WE HAVE GOT A PROCESS GOING TO COMMITTEE SO I THINK IT IS FINE. >> Coun. Borrego: ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, ARE THERE ANY OTHER CHANGES TO THE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION? >> Coun. Benton: I WOULD BE WILLING TO GO -- I MEAN I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS EVEN AAPPROPRIATE WRAP. I WOULD BE WILLING TO DISCUSS A RECONSIDERATION OF THE ACTION IF WE COULD HAVE THIS GO TO BOTH COMMITTEE AND MAKE CLEAR THAT IS THE CASE. >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR SENA THIS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT. >> Coun. Sena: I JUST NOTED THAT THE NEXT LUPZ COMMITTEE MEETING IS THE TENTH AND IS GOING TO BE CANCELLED SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK OUR CHAIR OF LUPZ IF SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO HAVE THAT MEETING ON FEBRUARY 10 SO THAT WE CAN GO TO THAT COMMITTEE AS WELL. >> Coun. Jones: I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT, COUNCILOR SENA. >> Coun. Benton: I'LL MOVE FOR RECONSIDERATION. >> Coun. Borrego: MOTION AND SECOND FROM COUNCILOR DAVIS IS FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I THINK THE UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM WILL GO TO BOTH LAND USE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE SO, WE WILL TAKE A NEW VOTE ON THIS VOTE OF RECONSIDERATION. >> Coun. Pena: THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO ASK OF COUNCIL STAFF WHAT HOSPITALS IF ONE COMMITTEE APPROVES IT AND OTHER ONE DOESN'T? >> MELENDRES: WE DON'T TRADITIONALLY HAVE DOUBLE COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS HOWEVER NO ACTION ON THIS BILL WOULD BE FINAL WITH RESPECT TO EITHER OF THOSE COMMITTEE SEWING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THE COMMITTEE S WOULD REPORT OUT THEIR RECOMMENDNDATIONS AT COUNCIL AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD CONSIDER BOTH RECOMMENDATIONSS TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION JURISDICTION OF THEE RELATIVE COMMITTEE AND MAKE FINAL DETERMITION HERE AT COCIL. >> Coun. Benton: JUST FOR CLARIFICATIOAND FOR THE COUNUNCIL'S INFORMATIO OPEN SPACE PRIORITITIES RESOLUTION WENT TLUPZ LAST TIME. IT WAS CONONSIDERED BY E COUNCIL. SO I DO SUPPORTT BOTH COMMITTEES HEARI IT. BUT, AT THE VERY Y PLEASE, I GUS I SHOULD SAY A AT THE VERY LEAST I SUORT LUPZ HEARING IT AS OPPOSED TO FGO. >> Coun.

Jones: SECOND. >> Coun. Borrego: WOULD YOU LIKE TO ELABORATE? >> Coun. Benton: I AM SPONSORING THIS AT REQUEST OF THE ADMINISTRATION. I THINK ON CERTAIN PROJECTS THIS IS A REALISTIC WAY OF PROCUREMENT, YOU KNOW, WITH WHAT SORT OF LIMITS AND SO FORTH WE UTILIZE THESE CAN BE DETERMINED ADMINISTRATIVELY BUT THIS IS A COMMON KAY AND A WAY OF REALLY GETTING COST CONTROL ON CERTAIN TYPES OF PROJECTS SO, URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Borrego: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCILORS? >> IF NOT, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. >> RAEL: I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS AMENDMENT COUNCILOR BENTON? >> Coun. Benton: I DID NOT HAVE ONE HERE AVAILABLE. >> OF. >> Coun. Davis: IF I MAY, I THINK MR. PADILLA SENT US LANGUAGE ABOUT 1:30 THIS AFTERNOON AND I ASKED HIM TO GET THAT PREPARED. I AM NOT SURE IF HE HAD A CHANCE TO DO THAT. >> Coun. Benton: YEAH. >> Coun. Borrego: WE DIDN'T RECEIVE THAT AMENDMENT. MR. PADILLA, ARE YOU AVAILABLE? YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THAT AMENDMENT AND COUNCILORS COULD CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PASS THAT. >> PADILLA: THE AMENDMENT WAS EMAILED EARLIER BUT JUST BEFORE THE MEETING SO I APOLOGIZE. I DID EMAIL A COPY OF IT TO CRYSTAL JUST NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF SHE RECEIVED IT YET. >> Coun. Borrego: WE ARE GOING TO PUT THAT UP ON THE SCREEN. I AM GOING ON TO READ IT. AMENDMENT SPONSORED BY COUNCILOR BENTON. >> GO AHEAD. >> Coun. Benton: I GUESS I AM SPONSORING THIS. SO, THIS AMENDMENT READS ON PAGE 4 LINE 31 ADD SECTION THE CITY WILL COMPLY WITH STATE LAWS REGARDING PREVAILING PAGE, PUBLIC WORKS AND APPRENTICE TRAINING. OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE THE WAGES THAT GOVERN THESE TYPE OF PROJECTS ARE DETERMINED BY STATE PREVAILING WAGE AND OUR RELATION TO THAT. SO, I'LL MOVE THAT AMENDMENT. >> Coun. Davis: I'LL SECOND THAT. >> Coun. Borrego: WE HAVE AMENDMENT AND COUNCILOR DAVIS HAS A SECOND. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCILORS REGARDING THIS AMENDMENT? WE WILL TAKE A VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. 8-0 ON AMENDMENT NO. 1. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT IS LABELED AS AMENDMENT NO. 1 P. THINK OTHER AMENDMENTS REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR BILL. >> Coun. Benton: I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER AMENDMENTS MADAM PRESIDENT. >> Coun. Borrego: YOUR HAND WAS STILL UP. WE WILL GO BACK TO O-41, ORIGINAL BILL. IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ORIGINAL BILL? IF NOT, WE WILL TAKE A VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL BILL. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES BUT A QUICK QUESTION. IS THIS AS AMENDED? >> O-41 AS AMENDED. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. 8-0, PASSES AS AMENDED. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT VOTE IS 8-0 AS AMENDED. THANK YOU COUNCILORS. WE WILL MOVE ONTO ITEM C, WHICH IS O-46, ADDING ARTICLE 20 OF CHAPTER 13 OF THE REVISED ORDINANCES OF ALBUQUERQUE TO ADD PART 1, CREATING THE ALBUQUERQUE TAXPAYERS AND CONSUMER RIGHTS ORDINANCE. >> Coun. Davis: IF I MAY I JUST WANT TO SAY I WANTED TO MENTION BEFORE LAST VOTE, SAY THANK YOU TO MR. RAEL AND MR. PADILLA FOR WORKING WITH US. WE HAD HELD THAT UP TO WORK ON THE FINER DETAILS. THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO ACCOMMODATE SOME OF THE STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED. I DO APPRECIATE THEIR WORK ON THAT. O-46 ADDS ARTICLE 20 OF CHAPTER 13 TO REVISED ORDINANCES TO ADD PART 1 CREATE CREATING ALBUQUERQUE TAX PREPARERS AND CONSUME TERESA RIGHTS ORDINANCE. I WOULD MOVE DO PASS AND WE HAVE AMENDMENTS. >> Councilor Bassan: SECOND. >> Coun. Davis: MR. MOYA, IT MIGHT BE EASIER FOR HIM TO PLACE THEM ON THE SCREEN. IF THAT IS POSSIBLE. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT MS. MEYERS IS HERE FROM ADMINISTRATION TO TALK ABOUT DETAILS BUT WE HEARD CONCERNS THAT WERE LOTS OF PIECES OF THIS LEGISLATION, ALL OF WHICH ARE IMPORTANT FOR CONSUMERS AND ESPECIALLY AT TAX TIME TO PREVENT SOME FROM TAKING ADVANTAGE OFF. WHAT WE HEARD WAS THERE ARE TWO PIECES. ONE IS A NOTICE. EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW WHAT RIGHTS ARE AND ANOTHER PIECE IS A FRAMEWORK FOR ENSURING THAT TYPE OF ACCOUNTABILITY THAT THE CITY CAN DO. THIS LOOKS LIKE AN AWFUL LOT. WHAT THIS AMENDMENT DOES AND IT IS FLOOR AMEND. NO. 1 REMOVES SECTION ON LICENSURE TO ALLOW TO US LIMIT THIS AND CREATE JUST A NOTICE FOR TAXPAYERS NOTICE THIS YEAR AND ALLOWS COUNCIL TO COME BACK AND REVISIT LICENSING ISSUES AT ANOTHER TIME. I I'LL MOVE FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 1. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. IS THERE A SECOND? >> Coun. Sena: SECOND. >> Coun. Borrego: I WOULD ASK MS. MEYERS IF YOU WITH LIKE TO WEIGH IN. >> MEYERS: WE HAVE WORKED WITH COUNCILOR DAVIS ON THIS AMENDMENT AND SUPPORT IT. >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR BASSAN DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION. >> Councilor Bassan: YOU'RE GOING TO PLAN ON INITIATING LICENSEE PART OF THIS AT A LATER DATE? >> Coun. Davis: I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT WHICH WAS PART OF THE WILLINGNESS TO MOVE FORWARD. I WANT TO BE SURE WE GET THE NOTICE PIECE DONE THE RIGHTS, BECAUSE PEOPLES' TAXES ARE DONE NOW AND WE WANT HAVETO HAVE A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION WITH MORE COUNCILORS AND SET UP A PROCESS FOR THAT. I DO THINK IT IS A CONVERSATION ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO HAVE. I AM WELCOMING A BROADER CONVERSATION BEFORE WE INTRODUCE THAT IF THAT IS OKAY. >> Coun. Pena: THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED CLARITY, COUNCILOR DAVIS, ONCE AGAIN. YOUR AMENDMENT DOES EXACTLY WHAT? I WAS INTERESTED IN A DEFERRAL BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, IT IS IMPORTANT BILL BUT I THINK WE NEEDED TO HAVE LOTS MORE DISCUSSION. I WANTED TO BE CLEAR ON WHAT YOU SAID. >> Coun. Davis: SO, WE CAN LET MS. MEYERS TALK ABOUT IT BUT THIS BREAKS BILL OUT INTO TWO PIECES. ONLY PIECE WE VOTE ON TONIGHT IF WE APPROVE IS NOTICE PROVISION BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO FILE TAXES NOW WOULD IT REQUIRE NON-LICENSED OR LAWYERS WHO PREPARE TAXES TO GIVE NOTICE TO INDIVIDUALS THEY ARE HELPING PREPARE TAXES FOR THAT IF THEY MEET A CERTAIN INCOME THRESHOLD THEY COULD GET THEM DONE FOR FREE AND YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM HOW MUCH IT COSTS BEFORE YOU STARTED. >> THE OTHER PROVISIONS I THINK WE SHOULD REVISIT IN A MORE IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION. >> Coun. Pena: IF I CAN FOLLOW-UP. THIS WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO GIVE AMOUNT PRIOR TO? >> Coun. Davis: THAT IS CORRECT. >> Coun. Pena: OKAY. SO, THEN MY QUESTION ON THAT IS THAT MANY OF THE, WHAT IS BEING CALLED UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE, MANY OF THEM ARE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY JUST HAVE THE CLIENT JUST PUT THAT IT WAS SELF PREPARED AND THEY DO IT FOR THEM AND THEY TAKE A FEE FOR THAT. SO, I AM NOT SURE, YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK THIS IS SUCH IMPORTANT LEGISLATION I THINK THAT IT REALLY MERITS A LONGER DISCUSSION IMPACTED THINK THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THIS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND WE WANT TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME LIKE WHEN WE DID THE PAWN ORDINANCE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE COULD JUST DEFER THIS KIND OF GET MORE INFORMATION AND I MAKE A MOTION FOR DEFERRAL. >> Coun. Borrego: MOTION FOR DEFERRAL. IS THERE A SECOND? >> Coun. Jones: SECOND. LOOKS LIKE COUNCILOR DAVIS -- >> Coun. Davis: IF IT IS POSSIBLE I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MS. MEYERS TO RESPOND TO THAT ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS WOULD WORK ON AMENDED PIECE OF LEGISLATION ABOUT THE NOTICE THAT WILL BE REQUIRED AND WHAT TYPES OF NOTICE IS REQUIRED. I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE US EASIER ON US TO SWALLOW BECAUSE TAX REASON IS UPON US. WE WANT OUR CONSUMERS IN ALBUQUERQUE TO HAVE THEIR RIGHTS PROTECTED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IF YOU WOULD SO ALLOW. I THINK SHE COULD COMMENT ON THE QUESTION OF DEFERRAL. >> MEYERS: THANK YOU. I THINK THAT THE SITUATION THAT COUNCILLOR PENA RAISES FALL SQUARELY WITHIN WHAT THIS IS INTENDED TO PROTECTS. FOR EXAMPLE IF SOMEONE GOES IN, REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS IN TERMS OF HOW THEY PREPARE IT, THE TAX PREPARER UP FRONT NEEDS TO GIVE THEM AN ESTIMATE. THEY NEED TO SAY THIS IS HOW MUCH I CHARGE FOR THESE KINDS OF SERVICES, FOR THIS PARTICULAR FORM OR FOR DOING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS. SO THAT THE PERSON GOING NCONSUMER, HAS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO COST THEM BEFORE THEY AGREE TO ENGAGE THAT PERSON. THEN WE WOULD ASSUME THAT THERE IS A DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE TAX PREPARER AND THE CONSUMER ABOUT WHAT IS THEIR TAX SITUATION, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IS THEIR INCOME, WHAT IS SOURCE OF INCOME? IS IT A SMALL BUSINESS? DO THEY HAVE WAGES, ET CETERA, AND THEY GIVE ESTIMATE BASED ON THE INFORMATION THEY GATHER AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THEM, THIS IS MY ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST YOU. WHEN IT IS OVER, IF THAT IS A RESULT OF INFORMATION THEY FIND OUT DURING PENDENCY OF PREPARING THE TAX RETURN AND IT IS MORE, THEY CAN TELL THEM, OKAY, HERE IS WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS, SO IT REALLY IS FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO PAY AND IF THEY ARE ASKED TO PAY MORE, THAT THEY ARE EXPLAINED, THEY GET AN EXPLANATION. WHAT WE ARE HEARING FROM COMMUNITY PEOPLE IS THAT PEOPLE GO IN WITH THE SIMPLE OF TAX RETURNS AND AREN'T TOLD UP FRONT HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST AND THEY GET CHARGED A VERY HIGH FEE. WE ARE ALSO TOLD THAT PEOPLE GO IN AND ARE THEN CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO GET A COPY OF THE RETURN, THAT THEY ARE NOW FILING, THAT THEY AREN'T JUST GIVEN A FREE COPY. THAT THEY DON'T GET THEIR PERSONAL PAPERS BACK. THESE ARE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING AND WHAT THIS SAYS IS, YOU NEED TO BE UP FRONT, TELL PEOPLE HOW MUCH YOU'RE GOING TO CHARGE THEM SO PEOPLE CAN MAKE A CHOICE AND IF THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY THAT AMOUNT THEY CAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO, THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SUPPORT THE TAXPAYER, CONSUMER'S CHOICE IN ENGAGING THE PREPARER FOR SERVICES. ALL OF THOSE THINGS WOULD BE IN TERMS OF DISCLOSURES AND INFORMATION. THE CONSUMER ALSO WOULD BEEN TITLED TO JUST GET A BROCHURE THAT TELLS ME HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR. YOU DON'T WANT TO SIGN A TAX RETURN WITH BLANK SPACES FILLED IN LATER. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A COPY AND ASK ABOUT THIS INFORMATION TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE INFORMED. THAT IS THE FOCUS OF THIS. IT IS INTENDED TO SORT OF CREATE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, IF YOU WILL SO THAT THE TAX PREPARER WHO IS ACTING, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY IN SOME FORM, MAYBE NOT A LEGAL FIDUCIARY BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE GETTING ALL THIS FINANCIAL INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING REASONABLE DISCLOSURES TO THE TAXPAYER AND THAT THE TAXPAYER IS PROTECTED. WE ARE PUTTING ASIDE LICENSING AND BONDING. WE TOOK NOTICE THAT PEOPLE FELT THAT NEEDED MUCH MORE THOUGHT. HOW WOULD THAT WORK EXACTLY? AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO REALLY THINK THROUGH HOW TO IMPLEMENT THAT. AND, WE TOOK NOTICE OF THAT AND AGREE THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. THIS HAS BEEN NARROWED SUBSTANTIALLY TO DISCLOSURES AND CONSUMER RIGHTS. AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR PENA, BEFORE YOU GO WITH YOUR COMMENT, COULD YOU CLARIFY HOW LONG THAT DEFERRAL WAS THAT YOU WERE CONSIDERING? >> Coun. Pena: UNTIL FEBRUARY 17 AND MS. MEYERS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I HAVE ACTUALLY HEARD IT ONCE BEFORE. I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION BUT A LOT OF INFORMATION AND HEARING FROM SOME PEOPLE IN THE FIELD I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE BEHOOVE US TO AT LEAST BE ABLE TO GET MORE INPUT AND ENSURE THAT WE ARE DOING THIS CORRECTLY. I AGREE WITH YOU, YOU KNOW, OUR MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITIES OFTENTIMES GET CHARGED AT THE TAIL END. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ONES THAT ARE REPUTABLE TO ENSURE THEY HAVE THEIR INPUT INTO THIS AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE A WIN/WIN FOR EVERYONE. >> Coun. Pena: I COULD FOLLOW-UP JUST TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I AM IN AGREEMENT THAT IS WHY I THINK FEBRUARY 17, YOU KNOW, GIVES US JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO HAVE MORE DISCUSSION AND THEN WE CAN FINALIZE IT AT THAT POINT. I DO AGREE THAT, YEAH, I AM SURE THE BILL HAS BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE BUT OFTENTIMES SOMETIMES WHEN OUR BILLS KIND OF COME TO FINAL STAGE AS ALL OF THE COUNCILORS KNOW THAT SOMETIMES IT GETS ADDED ATTENTION AND IT RAISES SOME EYEBROWS AS WE GET CLOSER. >> Councilor Bassan: I THINK THAT I AM A FIRM ADVOCATE FOR ANY KIND OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY. WHILE I WAS READING THROUGH THIS AND AMENDMENTS I ABSOLUTELY CAN SEE THAT THAT IS WHAT THIS IS DOING. IT IS TRYING TO HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. I THINK IT IS A SHAME THIS IS WHERE IT IS COMING TO, FOR THE CONSUMER RIGHTS AND CONSUMER PROTECTIONS WE HAVE TO FORCE SOME KIND OF LEGISLATION IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS. BUT, MY QUESTION IS, BECAUSE AFTER SAYING THAT, MY QUESTION IS IF WE WERE TO, LET'S SAY WE PASS THIS TONIGHT. WHAT IS EXPECTED TIME FRAME TO EDUCATE AND GET THESE REQUIREMENTS OUT TO ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT TAX PREPARERS? >> MEYERS: THAT IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING SINCE IT WAS DEFERRED ON JANUARY 4 TO HAVE EVERYTHING READY TO GO IF YOU APPROVE TONIGHT. THAT MEANS THE FOLLOWING. THERE WOULD BE A PRESS RELEASE. WE HAVE VERY DETAILED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THAT WOULD BE SENT TO EVERY TAX PREPARER THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND THROUGH GOOGLE SEARCHES OR OTHER FORMS. THEY WOULD GET A LETTER FROM THE CITY AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE, CONSUMER RIGHTS BROCHURE WOULD BE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. WE HAVE SAMPLE FORMS FOR ALL THE DISCLOSURES SO THAT THERE IS A SAMPLE FORM THEY CAN USE FOR THE FEE SCHEDULE, FOR THE ESTIMATE, THAT KIND OF THING, SO THEY CAN DOWNLOAD THOSE. THEY WILL BE TRANSLATED. WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO INCUR COST UNTIL YOU APPROVE IT. THEY WILL BE TRANSLATED SO THEY CAN BE AVAILABLE IN SPANISH. ALSO WE HAVE OTHER INFORMATION THAT WILL GO ON THE WEBSITE AND ALL OF THIS WILL BE DONE. ONE OF THE THINGS I FOUND INTERESTING IN PREPARING FOR THIS WAS WE DID A SEARCH OF THE BUSINESS REGISTRATIONS AND COMPARED THEM TO PEOPLE WHO ADVERTISE THAT THEY ARE DOING TAX PREPARATION AND NOT EVERYBODY IS REGISTERED IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. SO, OBVIOUSLY GETTING PEOPLE TO COMPLY WILL TAKE TIME. THE PLAN IS AS WE FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION THEY WOULD GET A LETTER THAT SAYS, THIS IS A LETTER TO REMIND YOU THAT HERE IS THIS LAW THAT YOU HAVE TO COMPLY WITH AND PROVIDING THEM MORE INFORMATION. WE SEE THIS AS A TRANSFORMATIONAL TIME PERIOD TO GET PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THEIR OBLIGATIONS AND TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE. >> IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE ON TOP OF IT AND I AM GRATEFUL TO HEAR THAT. BUT I AM CONCERNED IF EVERYTHING IS IN A DOWNLOADABLE FORMAT WHAT IS EXPECTATION OF THESE PREPARERS IF THEY ARE TO PROVIDE THESE BROCHURES TO EACH PERSON THAT COMES IN AND NOW THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE TO PROVIDE THAT AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE LEVEL OF COST FOR THEM. ALTHOUGH I SEE THAT TAX SEASON IS NOW UPON US AND ABSOLUTELY HERE FOR MANY PEOPLE, AT THE SAME TIME WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT FROM THE OTHER END WHERE WE WANT TO PROTECT CONSUMER AND HOW DO WE EXPECT THESE BURDENS TO BE PUT ON PREPARERS IF THAT IS INDEED WHAT IS WRITTEN WHICH IS WHAT I READ, A BROCHURE NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED. COST ALONE COULD BE INCREASED THAT THESE PREPARERS ARE NOT PREPARED FOR. >> MEYERS. IT WILL TAKE ONE PIECE OF PAPER FOR THEM TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE THAT WALK IN. COST IS MINIMAL. >> Coun. Borrego: WE'LL MOVE ONTO COUNCILOR SENA. >> Coun. Sena: COUNCILOR ASKED MY QUESTION. A LOT OF MY CONSTITUENTS ARE ALREADY REACHING OUT -- (INAUDIBLE). I JUST WORRY THAT IF THERE IS A DEFERRAL ON THIS, THAT THAT INITIATION THAT MS. MEYERS IS TALKING ABOUT OF HOW WE WOULD PRESENT MORE EDUCATION TO TAX PREPARERS SO THEY WOULD BE READY TO GIVE NOTICE THE BY THE 15TH, SO, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SUPPORT THIS DEFERRAL JUST KNOWING IT IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SEEKING SERVICES FOR TAX PREPARERS. >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR BASSAN. >> Councilor Bassan: I HAVE ONE MORE THAT I WANTED TO ADD ON. IF YOU CAN REMIND ME, I DON'T REMEMBER READING ANY KIND OF PENALTY OR FINE SHOULD SOMETHING NOT OCCUR IN THIS. I GUESS AGAIN MY POINT IS THERE COULD BE SOME KIND OF GRACE WITH BEING ABLE TO FIND PREPARERS OR IF THEY HAVEN'T HAD OPPORTUNITY TO GET ON TOP OF THINGS TO QUICKLY OR RIGHT AWAY, AND AS LONG AS THEY CAN PROBABLY PROVIDE THE FACT THEY ARE NOT DOING THAT ON PURPOSE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN START UTILIZING NOW AND MAKE MORE AMENDMENTS AS NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. >> MEYERS. YES. ABSOLUTELY. WE HAD TALKED INTERNALLY ABOUT THE FACT THERE IS A PENALTY WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER CITY ORDINANCES. BUT, OUR INTENT IS NOT TO PENALIZE BUT TO GET PEOPLE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. SO, OUR INTENT IS TO MAKE SURE WE TAKE THE TIME TO SEND THIS INFORMATION, TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, TO BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, TO GIVE THEM NOTICE AND SAY, HERE IS THE PROBLEM. HERE IS WHAT YOU'RE NOT DOING. YOU HAVE TO GIVE THIS FORM OR YOU'RE NOT DISCLOSING YOUR FEES. THERE OBVIOUSLY IS A TIME FACTOR IN THAT AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT BUT THE GOAL IS NOT PENALTIES AT THIS POINT. IT IS TO BRING PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT. >> Coun. Pena: I DID HAVE A QUESTION. SORRY. I DIDN'T HAVE A QUESTION BUT -- >> Coun. Borrego: I THOUGHT YOU SAID I DID HAVE A QUESTION. THANK YOU. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE JUST BECAUSE I DID RECEIVE SEVERAL CALLS TODAY AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THE CONSUMER BUT I HAD SEVERAL CALLS TODAY FROM TAX PREPARERS THAT HAVE ALREADY PREPARED TAXES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FOR THE NEXT GO ROUND OF TAX PREPARATION CYCLE AND THEY HAVE NOT NOTIFIED SO THAT IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE. THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY PREPARED TAXES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF COMING IN IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS IS A QUESTION THAT I HAVE. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY PREPARED TAXES FOR AND I DON'T KNOW IF MS. MEYERS CAN ANSWER THAT OR OUR ATTORNEY. >> MEYERS: CAN I ANSWER THAT. IT IS ONLY EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DATE IT GOES INTO EFFECT. SO, IT HAS TO GO THROUGH ALL THE USUAL ORDINANCE APPROVAL PROCESSES, PUBLISHED AND THEN IT HAS A TIME PERIOD AFTER THAT BEFORE IT IS EFFECTIVE. ANYBODY WHO WENT TO A TAX PREPARER TODAY IS NOT COVERED BY IT AND TAX PREPARER IS NOT COVERED BY IT. ONCE IT DOES GO INTO EFFECT GOING FORWARD, THOSE WOULD BECOME COVERED BY THE ORDINANCE. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. OKAY. THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, WE HAVE A MOTION FOR DEFERRAL. AND A SECOND. THAT ACTUALLY OVER SHADOWS OUR AMENDMENTS. SO WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE ON THE DEFERRAL. >> Councilor Bassan: NO. >> Coun. Benton: NO. >> Coun. Davis: NO. >> Coun. Gibson: NO. >> Coun. Jones: NO. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: NO. >> Coun. Borrego: NO. >> MOTION FAILS. 1-7. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT MOTION FOR DEFERRAL FAILS ON A 1-7 VOTE, SO, COUNCILOR DAVIS, BACK ON YOUR AMENDMENT. >> Coun. Davis: THERE IS NO OTHER DISCUSSION WE HAVE HAD PLENTY. I WOULD URGE YOUR SUPPORT AND ASK US TO VOTE AT THIS TIME. >> Coun. Borrego: THIS IS AMENDMENT 1 AND WE HAVE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? >> Coun. Sena: SECOND. >> Coun. Borrego: WE WILL TAKE A VOTE ON THAT PARTICULAR AMENDMENT. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. >> 8-0 ON AMENDMENT NO. 1. >> Coun. Borrego: AMENDMENT NO. 1 PASSES ON 8-0. COUNCILOR DAVIS AMENDMENT NO. 2. >> Coun. Davis: I MIGHT ASK MR. MOYA TO SHARE THAT IF POSSIBLE. THIS IS A TECHNICAL CLEAN-UP FOR GRAMMATICAL QUESTIONS AND CLARIFYING LANGUAGE. THIS HAS TO DO DID LATEST AMENDMENT WE PASSED. THIS IS FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 2 AND I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Borrego: AM LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE IS A SECOND. THERE IS BY COUNCILOR SENA. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, WE WILL TAKE A VOTE ON AMENDMENT NO. 2. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. 8-0 ON AMENDMENT NO. 2. >> Coun. Borrego: NO. 2 ALSO PASSES. WE WILL GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL BILL AS AMENDED. >> Coun. Davis: WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS. I THINK POINTS ARE WELL TAKEN AND PRESENTED. I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO. I DO WISH WE HAVE HAD GOTTEN IT TO SOONER BUT THERE IS STILL TIME AND ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY AND SO MANY DIFFERENT CHANGES TO TAX LAWS WITH GRANTS AND PROVISIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND BASIC RIGHTS AND WE CAN DID OUR PART TO MAKE SURE THE MOST VULNERABLE GET AS MANY DOLLARS BACK IN THEIR POCKETS AS POSSIBLE. I THANK MS. MEYERS AND ADMINISTRATION AND URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE HAVE TAKEN OUT THE BONDING REQUIREMENT AND THE LICENSING REQUIREMENT IN THIS PARTICULAR BILL AND THOSE ITEMS MAY COME BACK LATER TO US; IS THAT CORRECT. >> Coun. Davis: THAT IS CORRECT. I WOULD LIKE THE COUNCIL TO COME BACK AND I'LL WORK WITH ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER COUNCILORS ON A PROVISION THAT MIGHT KICKI½■ IN FOR NEXT YEAR FOR LICENSING IF WE FIND THAT IS APPROPRIATES. >> Coun. Borrego: MOTION AND SECOND. I JUST WANT TO THANK MS. MEYERS FOR BEING WITH US AND FOR WORKING ON THIS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THAT VOTE. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. >> 8-0 PASSES AS AMENDED. >> Coun. Borrego: PASSES 8-0 AS AMENDED. COUNCILOR DAVIS, 0-48, APROJECTORRING A PROJECT INVOLVING SOUTHWEST PATTERN WORKS INCORPORATED. THIS IS QUICKER.

I WOULD DEFER TO THE PRESIDENT IF SHE WANTS TO HEAR FROM THEM TO IF NECESSARY. >> Coun. Borrego: IT APPEARS WE HAVE MS. MEYERS AND PEOPLE FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. WHO WOULD LIKE TO GO FIRST. >> JENNIFER MEYERS: I'LL GO FIRST. PLEASED TO PRESENT SOUTHWEST PATTERN WORKS. IT IS 6 OF THE AND FINAL ZERO PERCENTS LOAN RECIPIENT.

NEW MEXICO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DON'T ASKS COMMUNITY STATE-WIDE DEPARTMENT AS FISCAL AGENTS FOR ZERO INTERSTATE LOAD PROGRAM THROUGH LEDA. TO ASSIST BUSINESSES WITH EXPENSES RELATED TO LAND, BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE. WE APPRECIATE THE STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF WORKING WITH TO US ASSIST ALBUQUERQUE COMPANIES IN THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES. MAX FROM NEW MEXICO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PARTICIPATING IN THE CALL TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THE COMPANY THAT IS PARTICIPATING IF YOU HAVE COMPANY RELATED QUESTIONS, SO, I'LL LEAVE IT TO MAX. >> Coun. Borrego: ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. GO AHEAD. >> MAX: I YIELD MY TIME TO THE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES BUT IF ANY OF THE COUNCILOR ^ S HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ZERO PERCENT LEDA LOAN PROGRAM PLEASE ASK ME AND I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THEM. >> Coun. Borrego: ANY QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> Coun. Gibson: MADAM CHAIR. I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT HERE IS ANOTHER ORDINANCE ONE WAS A RESOLUTION THAT KIND OF GOT FAST TRACKED. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WENT TO COMMITTEE BEFORE COMING HERE. I UNDERSTAND IT IS ONLY STATE LEDA MONEY SO THAT IS A GOOD THING AND SOUNDS LIKE A FANTASTIC PROJECT BUT ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE BECOMING A RUBBER STAMP FOR THESE AND I THINK THAT I JUST THINK THAT THEY DID HE SERVE BETTER. I THINK THAT THEY DESERVE AND SHOULD GET MORE ATTENTION BY CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Davis: MADAM PRESIDENT I CAN RESPOND. IT HASN'T STOPPED US IN THE PAST. I DON'T MEAN TO BE SHORT COMING BUT THIS IS A STATE PROGRAM THAT WE ARE BASICALLY SERVING AS FISCAL AGENT. VETTED BY THE STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND BY THE CITY THROUGH STAFF AND NORMALLY DURING COVID-19 WE HAVE JUST BEEN DOUBLE CHECKING THAT MATH AND BRINGING IT FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL TO MOVE THIS MONEY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO LOCAL BUSINESSES. THAT IS THE REASON IN THIS CASE IT HASN'T GONE THROUGH THE PROCESSES OR IT DIDN'T LAST YEAR DURING OUR EMERGENCY PROCEDURES. I APPRECIATE THE COUNCILOR'S CONCERNS. WE DO HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THAT. IN THIS CASE, IT IS A PASS-THROUGH OF STATE FUNDS. I FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT IS APPROPRIATE. >> OF. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU ALL. THERE IS MR. RAEL. THANK I ALL FOR BEING WITH US AND SO, WITH THAT, IF THERE IS NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION, WE WILL TAKE A VOTE ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM O-48. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT PASSES ON 8-0 VOTE. WE WILL MOVE ONTO ITEM R-18. COUNCILOR SENA WOULD YOU LIKE TO DESCRIBE THIS WITH A MOTION AND I THINK WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ONTO OF ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. WILLIAMS. >> Coun. Sena: THANK YOU. OF R-18 IS A NUISANCE SUBSTANDARD DWELLING IN NEED OF ABATEMENT 5609EVERITT ROAD NORTHWEST. RUINED, DAMAGES AND DILAPIDATED. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MR. WILLIAMS SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE. >> WILLIAMS: THANK YOU. WOULD YOU JUST LIKE A STATUS UPDATE AT THIS POINT. OR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Sena: I DO THINK WE NEED A SECOND BUT I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS PROPERTY FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I KNOW THAT -- >> Coun. Borrego: SORRY, I GOT CALLED FOR A QUESTION HERE. SO, I THINK I HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILOR DAVIS? IS THAT CORRECT. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. >> Coun. Sena: THANK YOU. I JUST NOTE THERE WAS SOME UPDATES THAT THERE WAS UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WAS A AGREEMENT ON THE PROPERTY THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME DEVELOPMENT IN THE MEANTIME. IF YOU COULD SPEAK ON THIS HOW WE PROCEED FORWARD. I DO HOPE THAT THIS PROPERTY IS ACQUIRED. IF YOU CAN PROVIDE ANY UPDATES, AS TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED. >> WILLIAMS: YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD. NEW OWNER HAS TAKEN POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY LAST WEEK. AND THEY HAVE PLACED A ROLL OFF DUMPSTER ON THE PROPERTY IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THEY HAVE BEGUN DOING SOME GENERAL MAINTENANCE. CLEANED UP LANDSCAPING AND THROWN AWAY DEBRIS IN THE YARD. THE BAD NEWS OR NOT SO GOOD NEWS THAT IS THIS PROPERTY STILL CONTINUES TO DRIVE EMERGENCY CALLS FOR SERVICE, SO CALLS SPECIFICALLY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 10 OF THOSE IN THE LAST YEAR. MOST RECENTLY THERE WAS ACTIVITY LAST WEEK AT THIS PROPERTY THAT NECESSITATED INVOLVEMENT OF THE POLICE. THE PROPERTY HAS CHANGED OWNERS BUT WE ARE KIND OF IN THE PRELIMINARY STAGES OF TURNING THIS PROPERTY AROUND SO CODE ENFORCEMENT WOULD ASK THAT THIS MATTER MOVE FORWARD SO THAT IT DOESN'T EXPIRE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND CERTAINLY ONCE PERMITS ARE PULLED AND OWNER DEMONSTRATED HOUSE IS READY TO BE MOVED IN, THEN CODE ENFORCEMENT WOULDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CEASING OR DOING AWAY WITH THE CURRENT REQUEST FOR CONDEMNATION. I'LL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. >> OF. >> Coun. Sena: I KNOW THAT THIS WILL EXPIRE IF WE DON'T ACTS ON IT TODAY. >> WILLIAMS: CODE ENFORCEMENT IS NOT OPPOSED TO HAVING THIS MOVE FORWARD SO THAT THEY CAN STILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE OWNER. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT INDICATES TO US THAT THE NEW OWNER WON'T DO WHAT THEY HAVE TOLD US OR WHAT THEY HAVE SHOWN US THEY ARE GOING TO DO. BUT, THE HOUSE IS STILL IN UNLIVABLE CONDITIONS AND SO WE WOULD JUST ASK FOR ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE OWNER TO MAKE SURE THAT AGAIN ALL OF THE PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS NECESSARY TO GET THIS HOUSE BACK IN LIVABLE CONDITION SO SOMEBODY CAN RESIDE IN IT, WOULD BE AFFORDED TO THEM SO THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO OF WORK WITH THE OWNER. >> Coun. Borrego: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, IT APPEARS THAT WE HAVE THE PROPERTY OWNER, MS. KENNEDY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO WEIGH IN? >> KENNEDY: THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK. THE PROPERTY LIKE MR. WILLIAMS STATED I PURCHASED. WE HAVE PULLED THE PERMITS FOR THE GAS AND FOR THE ELECTRICITY. WE HAVE REMOVED ACTUALLY THREE CONTAINERS OF DEBRIS AND NOW WE HAVE THE WINDOWS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE FRONT DOOR. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE GARAGE SO I BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE THIS PROPERTY IN LIVABLE CONDITION IN THE NEXT THREE WEEKS OR SO. WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY WORKING TO GET THIS PROPERTY BACK TO NORMAL. >> Coun. Borrego: ANY QUESTIONS OF MS. KENNEDY? >> OF HE HAVE IF NOT, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, IF THERE IS NOT ANY OTHER DISCUSSION WITH OUR COUNCILORS. WE WILL MOVE ONTO A VOTE. >> Coun. Sena: I THINK I WAS JUST INFORMED THAT THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE WHERE IT WOULD EXPIRE SO BECAUSE I AM HEARING THAT THERE IS A LOT OF MOVEMENT FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER, AND I KNOW THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER COULD STILL WORK WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT. I AM GOING TO DEFER THIS UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING JUST SO THAT WE CAN GET ANOTHER UPDATE AS TO IMPROVEMENTS. I REALLY -- WE ARE TRYING TO, THROUGH THIS PROCESS, INTERVENE AND SAY WE WANT TO REHAB A BUILDING AND I I DON'T WANT TO CONDEMN AND DEMOLISH IT. SO, MOVE FOR DEFERRAL UNTIL THE 17TH AND WITHDRAW MY MOTION. >> Coun. Borrego: MOTION FOR DEFERRAL? IS THERE A SECOND? >> Councilor Bassan: SECOND. >> Coun. Borrego: MOVE ONTO MOTION FOR DEFERRAL. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THAT VOTE. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: YES. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. 8-0 ON THE DEFERRAL. >> Coun. Borrego: MOTION PASSES ON 8-0. WE WILL REVISIT THIS ITEM ON THE 17TH. THANK YOU MS. KENNEDY FOR APPEARING BEFORE US TODAY. >> KENNEDY: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> Coun. Borrego: I AM GOING TO MOVE ON THROUGH OUR AGENDA UNLESS THERE IS A DESIRE TO HAVE A BREAK FOR DINNER? WE WILL JUST KEEP MOVING. WE WILL MOVE ONTO ITEM R-85. THIS IS COUNCILOR PENA. I AM NOT SURE WHO WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT. >> Coun. Pena: I'LL GET STARTED. SUPPLEMENTING PRIORITIES FOR THE CAPITAL IMPLEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE BY I'M CEMENTING RACIAL EQUITY CRITERIA TO BE USED IN THE DEVELOP OF THE PLAN. WE ACTUALLY HAVE A FLOOR SUB I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD IF THERE IS A MOTION FOR THE FLOOR SUB WE CAN VOTE ON THAT AND WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MICHELLE, SHE SAID SHE WOULD DID A PRESENTATION AND THEN IT IS INTENTION OF MYSELF AND COUNCILOR SENA TO DEFER THE BILL. >> Coun. Borrego: AT OUR LAST MEETING, CRYSTAL, DID WE HAVE AL MOTION FOR THIS BILL? AND A SECOND? >> I BELIEVE AT OUR LAST MEETING THERE WAS THE ORIGINAL MOTION SO, COUNCILOR, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO -- >> Coun. Pena: THAT IS WHAT I MOVED. OF. >> Coun. Borrego: DISCUSSION? OF CAN YOU PUT THAT UP OF? WE'LL GO TO MS. LEADERSHIP MELENDRES. DO YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE THE FLOOR SUB. >> Coun. Pena: SO THERE WAS SOME CHANGES BASED ON INPUT WE RECEIVED AT LAST MEETING. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS BUT IT SAYS ONE OF THE CONCERNS WAS THAT WE SHALL. WE MADE THE LANGUAGE TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS CLARIFYING THAT IT WAS A POOL THAT WAS GOING TO BE USED AS WE DEVELOP THE CIP. SO, UNDER SECRETARY 1, CITY SHALL IMPLEMENT EQUITY CRITERIA AND EVALUATE HISTORIC INVESTMENT IN SOME AREAS WITH HIGHER POPULATION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR TO BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE OVERALL CRITERIA. (SHORT CAPTIONING RECESS) (SHORT CAPTIONING RECESS)OR RAW DATAOR. >> IF IT IS WORKING CORRECTLY, YOU SEE THE BROWN MAP THAT COUNCILOR PENA WAS HOLDING IN HER HAND TWO WEEKS AGO. IS THAT WITH YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN? OKAY. SO, THIS IS A LAYER MAP, THAT IS PROVIDED BY OUR OWN CITY'S GIS MAPPING DEPARTMENT. AND IT HOSE POVERTY AND YOU CAN ADD TO THAT ANY NUMBER OF INDICATORS BY LAYERS SO I CAN CLICK ON THE AMERICAN INDIAN POPULATION AND THEN WE WOULD GET PAPULATION INDICATORS AS WELL. CAN YOU ZOOM INTO THIS MAP AND SEE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY. I THOUGHT I WOULD GO IN ON THIS ONE THAT HAS 45% POVERTY. THIS IS A PART OF THE CITY RIGHT OFF BROADWAY, PRETTY FAR SOUTH AND 45% OF PEOPLE IN THAT CENSUS TRACT ARE LIVING IN POVERTY. HERE YOU HAVE THE BREAK DOWN OF THE POPULATION. SO, THIS INFORMATION CAN BE AT YOUR FINGER TIPS AT ANY TIME AND YOU CAN SCROLL AROUND AND USE IT FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES AS YOU WISH. >> I AM JUST GOING TO GET BACK TO MY OTHER MAP. SO, I AM DOUBLE CHECKING. YOU SEE THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDEX LIST ON YOUR SCREEN? OKAY. SO, THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDEX GIVES A SCORE, OVERALL SCORE, ON AN AREAS VULNERABILITY AND SUBSCORES ON THESE TOPICS. SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, HOUSE OLD COMPOSITION AND MINORITY STATUS AND LANGUAGE AND THEN HOUSING TYPE. SO, WITHIN THOSE YOU SEE THE KINDS OF INFORMATION YOU'LL GET ARE PRESENTED TO PEOPLE IN POVERTY, HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION TELLS BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY OLD OR VERY YOUNG AND THEY TEND TO HAVE MORE NEEDS AND SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS. MINORITY STATUS SECTION GIVES YOU THE PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION THAT IS PEOPLE OF COLOR AND PROPORTION THAT SPEAK ENGLISH LESS THAN WELL AND THEN THE HOUSING TYPE AND TRANSPORTATION SECTION TALKS ABOUT MULTI UNIT STRUCTURES. PREDOMINANCE OF APARTMENT HOMES AND MOBILE HOMES. LEVEL OF CROWDING AND PEOPLE WHO GO WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND ARE NOT GETTING AROUND WITH A VEHICLE. SO, I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY MAP LOOKS LIKE. YOU SHOULD SEE A GREEN MAP, GREEN AND BLUE. OKAY, THAT IS ALSO BY COUNCIL DISTRICT. WE CAN ZOOM IN AND JUST TAKE A LOOK AT A DIFFERENT AREA OF TOWN. I PICKED THIS ONE BECAUSE IN DIANE GIBSON'S DISTRICT BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE ALL DIFFERENT SOCIAL VULNERABILITY EXISTS IN THIS DISTRICT. SO, THE SCORING MECHANISM, 1 IS HIGH AND ZERO IS LOWEST VULNERABILITY. IN THIS AREA IT HAS VULNERABILITY OF .68. THE WAY IT GOT THERE BY LOOKING AT SUBVULNERABILITY CATEGORIES. IT HAS SOCIOECONOMIC CHALLENGES. IT HAS HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION CHALLENGES SO IT MIGHT HAVE SINGLE MOMS, SINGLE PARENTS IN THERE. IT HAS GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A MINORITY AND LANGUAGE CHALLENGE GOING ON AND THEN IT MUST HAVE A LOT OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT BOOSTS UP THAT SCORE IS HAVING A LOT OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES OR MOBILE HOME PARKS. THE SAME I FOUND COULD BE TRUE IN COUNCILOR BASSAN'S DISK STRICT. THERE IS SENIOR ASSISTED LIVING MOBILE HOME COMPLEXES THAT COULD BRING UP THIS RATE TO .87 BECAUSE OF THOSE APARTMENTS AND MOBILE WHO ELSE, FOR EXAMPLE. SO, THIS MAP REALLY GIVES YOU A LOT OF DETAIL. I AM NOT SHOWING ALL OF IT TO YOU BUT YOU CAN REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR DISTRICT AND WHAT THE RELATIVE VULNERABILITIES ARE FOR ANY PARTICULAR POPULATION. THE WAY WE WOULD USE THESE, IF YOU WERE TO ADOPT A NEW CRITERION IS WE WOULD BE ADDING IT TO EXISTING ADOPTED CRITERIA. SO ON YOUR SCREEN YOU SHOULD SEE A LIST OF EXISTING ADOPTED CRITERIA OR GO BOND PROGRAM IN THE DECADES PLAN. >> PROJECTS ARE RATED BY STAFF LOWEST TO HIGHEST IN TERMS OF THESE CRITERIA. WITH YOUR DIRECTION, WE WILL DEVELOP A NEW COMMUNITY EQUITY CRITERION THAT TAKES ANY OF THOSE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDICATORS INTO ACCOUNT OR ANY SUBSECTION OF THOSE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDICATORS INTO ACCOUNT. SO, I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR TAKING UP THIS ISSUE AND ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP. >> I JUST WANTED TO TELL THE PUBLIC, TOO, IF THEY ARE CURIOUS WHAT THE PROCESS IS, THERE IS A STAFF REVIEW AND THEN IT GOES TO A CIP REVIEW COMMITTEE THEN IT GOES TO EPC, THEN IT GOES TO THE MAYOR AND THEN TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THEN TO VOTER APPROVAL. CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T JUST HAVE A DISCUSSION WOW, AFTER LOOKING AT THIS MESS, WE ARE GOING TO DONATE ALL OF OUR FUND -- NO. WE GO THROUGH THIS REVIEW AND KIND OF THE DIRECTOR OF EQUITY AND INCLUSION (INAUDIBLE). NOW, SEEING SOME OF THESE AREAS REQUIRE SOME MORE INVESTMENT RATHER THAN DISINVESTMENT. THE NEW LANGUAGE (INAUDIBLE) OF THINKS OF A PROCESS AND AGAIN THIS IS JUST PART OF A TOOL IN OUR TOOL BOX, PART OF THE REVIEWING PROCESS. IT IS NOT JUST A DISCUSSION FOR CITY COUNCIL BUT PART OF THE REVIEW PROCESS OF OUR CIP. I WANTED TO NOTE THAT AND REALLY THINK THROUGH OF WHAT THIS DATA CAN MEAN TO US. I THINK IT IS POWERFUL FOR DECISION MAKERS WHERE WE CAN THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OUR RESIDENTS AND NOT THINKING ABOUT ONE COUNCIL DISTRICT. IT IS REALLY LOOKING AT THIS AND UTILIZING THIS DATA BECAUSE THIS KNOWLEDGE IS POWERFUL FOR US IN HOW WE INVEST OUR MONEY IN THE FUTURE. THAT IS MY URGENT COMMENT IS MAKING SURE (INAUDIBLE). >> Coun. Borrego: THANK YOU. WE WILL MOVE ONTO COUNCILOR DAVIS. >> Coun. Davis: I'LL JUST SAY THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. I DO THINK -- I SUPPORT THE LEGISLATION. I THINK WE CAN DO THIS IN-HOUSE AND I THINK WE SHOULD CONTINUE THIS PROCESS TO FIGURE OUT METRICS AND THEY ADJUST. WE HAVE BEEN USING A SIMILAR GIS MODEL USING HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING. WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT DATA ALREADY IN THE CITY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO USING IT. I AM GLAD THE SPONSORS ARE BRINGING THIS AMENDMENT AND THIS IS A CONVERSATION WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO WORK ON. I AM EXCITED THAT OUR CITY STAFF THAT DOES THIS WORK EVERYDAY, DON'T OFTEN GET RECOGNIZED. I THINK THEY'LL GET TO SHINE A LITTLE BIT. THANK YOU. THANKS TO THE SPONSORS FOR GIVING TIME FOR THE CONVERSATION. >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR JONES AND THEN COUNCILOR BASSAN. >> Coun. Jones: QUESTION, CAN YOU OVERLAY ACTUAL CAPITAL ASSETS ON THE MAPS AS IN PARKS, SENIOR CENTER BE. >> YES, ABSOLUTELY. >> Coun. Jones: WOULD YOU PLEASE. >> I CAN'T DO IT RIGHT THIS INSTANT SORRY BUT YES IT CAN BE DONE. >> Coun. Jones: WOULD YOU DO THAT AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT WHEN THIS COMES BEFORE THE CANNEL AGAIN? >> WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEMAPED. >> Coun. Jones: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COMMUNITY CENTERS, SENIOR CENTERS, LIBRARIES, PARKS. AND ALSO CAN YOU DETERMINE ROAD CONDITIONS OR INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITION IN ANY WAY WITH THIS MAPPING. >> THAT WOULD BE TOUGHER, BECAUSE, WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS GIS MAPPING SO WE NEED ADDRESS TO BE ABLE TO PLACE SOMETHING ON THE MAP. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT COULD ADD SOMETHING ABOUT STREET CONDITIONS BUT I MYSELF I COULDN'T MAP STREET CONDITIONS. >> Coun. Jones: LET'S DO SENIOR CENTERS,) COMMUNITY CENTERS LIBRARIES PARKS ARE WE MISSING ANYTHING ELSE? >> I BELIEVE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GRAVITY THE INFRASTRUCTURE. I THINK THAT COULD BE GRAVITIED. YOU MAY NOT HAVE THAT ON A MAP BUT IT COULD BE GRAPHED. >> Coun. Jones: SWIMMING POOLS. >> (INAUDIBLE). OF. >> Coun. Gibson: MADAM PRESIDENT? >> Coun. Borrego: HANG ON A SECOND. COUNCILOR JONES ARE YOU THROUGH. >> Coun. Jones: ONE MORE PLEASE. PUBLIC SPORTS FACILITIES, BASEBALL SOFTBALL TENNIS. SPORTS FACILITIES. THAT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WHERE WE HAVE THOSE. >> OKAY. >> Coun. Borrego: WAS YOUR COMMENT RELATED TO COUNCILOR JONES. WE HAVE COUNCILOR BASSAN. I. >> Coun. Gibson: I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WOULD BE HELPFUL ALSO TO MAP PUBLIC SAFETY, FIRE, POLICE STATIONS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THAT ADDED? >> Coun. Jones: GOOD IDEA. OF. >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR BASSAN. >> Councilor Bassan: DID YOU SAY THAT THIS VULNERABILITY, THAT MAP OR METRIC, WOULD REPLACE THE OPPORTUNITY INDEX OR DID YOU SAY IT WOULD WORK TOGETHER? >> MY SUGGESTION IS THAT IT WOULD REPLACE OR ANY SUBSECTION OF THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY COULD BE RULESSED IN PLACE OF THE OPPORTUNITY INDEX. THEY COME FROM THE SAME SOURCES OF CENSUS DATA BUT THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY MAP IS A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPREHENSIVE. >> Councilor Bassan: EARLIER GOING WITH WHAT MR. MELENDRES WAS SAYING, ON SOME OF THE CLARIFYING, I GUESS, VERBIAGE WITH WHAT IS WRITTEN AND I BELIEVE THAT WAY HEARD WAS IT IS UP TO US, WHAT OUR COMFORT LEVEL IS ON WHAT IS WRITTEN AND WHAT IS NOT WRITTEN AND WHAT IS JUST IMPLIED OR INTENDED IN LEGISLATION AND I STRUGGLE WITH WHAT IS WRITTEN OR NOT WRITTEN WITH THIS LEGISLATION. SO, I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE MORE OF THE METRIC THAT WOULD BE USED. I THINK WE ARE GET BEING CLOSER TO AN ANSWER BUT I HOPE THAT IN ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO WEEKS I GUESS WHEN WE HEAR AND DO THIS FINALLY, IT WILL HAVE NOT SO MUCH OF A GREAT AREA FOR INTERPRETATION BECAUSE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT LEGISLATION WE NEED TO NOT BE WIGGLING WITH WHAT WE VOTE ON. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE CLEAR WITH IT. >> Coun. Borrego: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF COUNCILORS. I HAD A QUESTION. ABOUT POVERTY. AS ONE OF THE INDICATORS. I DIDN'T SEE THAT ANYWHERE AND I KNOW THAT, WELL, I GUESS, IS IT INFERRED? >> NO, IT IS VERY MUCH -- IT IS THE FIRST INDICATOR. >> Coun. Borrego: FIRST INDICATOR ON THAT CHART? >> YES. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT IS ONE OF THE INDEXES. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> Coun. Borrego: OKAY. THANK YOU. I DIDN'T SEE THAT SO I JUST WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK. OKAY. SO, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE STAFF THEN WE'LL GO BACK TO THE COUNCILORS AND SEE IF THERE IS ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. IF NOT, THEN, WE WOULD MOVE BACK TO THE FLOOR SUBSTITUTE AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR SO, COUNCILLOR PENA DID YOU WANT TO CLOSE OR COUNCILOR SENA. >> Coun. Pena: I THINK WE CAN BOTH CLOSE. REAL QUICKLY, WE ARE ASKING FOR DEFERRAL. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD DISCUSSION AND I WANT TO THANK MICHELLE AND MR. MELENDRES FOR ALL THEIR HELP AND HELPING US TO KIND OF PUT OUR THOUGHTS ON PAPER. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT MICHELLE DOES AT OEI. BASICALLY THIS IS JUST A CONVERSATION TO BE HAD. I KNOW COUNCILOR BORREGO YOU INDICATED THAT WHAT WAS DISCUSSED LAST TIME INFERRED CERTAIN THINGS BUT THIS IS REALLY NOT ABOUT ANY 1 ON THIS COUNCIL, JUST HISTORICALLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN COMMUNITIES OF NEED AND I THINK THIS DISCUSSION IS ABSOLUTELY THE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD AS WAS SHOWN BY THE THE MAP THAT WAS PRESENTED EARLIER, THESE ARE ISSUES IN EACH 1 OF OUR COUNCIL DISTRICTS. THIS LEGISLATION DOES NOT ALLOCATE ANY RESOURCES TO A PARTICULAR DISTRICT. AGAIN IT JUST PROVIDES A TOOL. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE MAPS WE SPOKE ABOUT. MYSELF AND COUNCILOR SE IN A A HAVE REQUESTED THEM AND YOU'LL SEE IN SOME COUNCIL DISTRICTS, I AM COUNCILOR BENTON IS THINKING ABOUT HIS COMMUNITY CENTERS BUT REALLY THE AMOUNT OF COMMUNITY CENTERS IN ONE PARTICULAR DISTRICT IF THE NEED CALLS FOR THAT AMOUNT OF COMMUNITY ASSETS THAT ASSETS TE NEED TO PUT THE RESOURCES. WHAT THAT I WON'T GO ON JUST ASK FOR DEFERRAL AND COUNCILOR SENA? >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR SENA. >> Coun. Sena: THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO ADD, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON JUST WITH OUR -- (INAUDIBLE) WITH DMV AS WELL AND APPRECIATE ALL THE DEPARTMENTS FOR GETTING TOGETHER AND TALKING THIS THROUGH. OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, TOO, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN KIND OF TALKING ABOUT THIS RESOLUTION FOR A WHILE AND I AM GRATEFUL WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION FOR DEFERRAL TO WORK OUT THE LANGUAGE. WE WILL PRESENT THIS AT NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AND WE'LL PRESENT SOME MAPS SO I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Borrego: IT APPEARS TO ME AND CORRECT ME IF I AM INCORRECT, THAT WE ARE GOING TO VOTE ON A FLOOR SUB TONIGHT AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER MOTION FOR DEFERRAL TO DISCITIS AT OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. IS THAT YOUR INTENT? >> OKAY. WE WILL TAKE A VOTE ON THE FLOOR SU B. >> HE HAVE THERE IS A MOTION AND SECOND. >> Councilor Bassan: YES. >> Coun. Benton: YES. >> Coun. Davis: YES. >> Coun. Gibson: YES. >> Coun. Jones: NO. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> Coun. Sena: YES. >> Coun. Borrego: YES. PASS ON 7-1 VOTE FOR THE FLOOR SUB. >> Coun. Borrego: THAT PASSES ON A 7-1 VOTE FOR THE FLOOR SB. NOW WE GO BACK TO A MOTION FOR DEFERRAL. COUNCILOR PENA OR SEN APRIL. >> Coun. Pena: SURGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> Coun. Sena: MOVE FOR DEFERRAL AS SUBSTITUTED TO THE FEBRUARY 17 MEETING. >> Coun.

Borrego: THAT FLOOR SUB SHOULD BE IN YOUR I PADS. WOULD ONE OF YOU LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS. COUNCILOR JONES? >> Coun. Jones: I WAS SECONDING HER MOTION. >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS. >> Councilor Bassan: THE FLOOR SUB WE WITH LIKE TO MOVE TONIGHT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH ADMINISTRATION AND WELL WITH THE HOPE AND HAVING A FEW MEETINGS AND WE ARE TRYING TO COME TO GOOD MIDDLE GROUND ON FINDING A WAY TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A POLICY SET UP THAT IF IN THE EVENT THE CHIEF OF POLICE BECOMES INCAPACITATED OR UNAVAILABLE FOR LONG-TERM THAT APD HAS A POLICY THAT WE CREATED WHICH WE HAVE FOUND OUT THEY DID NOT HAVE BEFORE AND THEN THE SECOND PART AND THIRD PARTIES SEEING WHILE THERE IS A SEARCH GOING ON FOR INTERIM APPOINTMENT OF A POLICE CHIEF, INTERIM EXCEEDS 45 DAYS, EXECUTIVE (INAUDIBLE) FROM ADMINISTRATION, JUST ACKNOWLEDGING AND INFORMING COUNCIL AS TO A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFICS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THIS SEARCH PROCESS. I DO THINK THAT RIGHT NOW THE ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN GIVING US THIS INFORMATION MORE AND I REALIZE THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY REGARDING THE PROCESS THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER WAY BUT IF ONE OF THOSE (INAUDIBLE), THE POLICIES WE DIDN'T HAVE IN PLACE INSTEAD OF NOT HAVING THEM IN THE FUTURE NOW IS THE TIME TO WORK OUT THOSE WRINKLES AND MAKE SURE THE POLICY THERE IS. IF THAT MAKES SENSE AND CLEAR AS MUD FOR ALL OF YOU WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE FLOOR SUB SO WE CAN HEAR IT AT NEXT MEETING BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE (INAUDIBLE). >> Coun. Borrego: COUNCILOR BASSAN? ANY OTHER COUNCILORS WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THIS? >> Coun. Jones: THANK YOU. OF A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HELPED US GET SOME LANGUAGE IN HERE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT IN WRITING HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE AND IF WE DON'T AGREE WITH THEM THEN WE NEED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE FUMBLE COUNCIL TO AMEND THESE AND PUT IN OTHER THINGS BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAN'T JUST BE LEFT TO CHANCE ON HOW SOMETHING OF THIS GREAT IMPORTANCE IS TAKEN CARE OF.
