YOU GO OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY AND DO YOU A JOB AND IT IS A THANKLESS JOB AND A VERY DIFFICULT JOB AND YOU ARE JUDGED AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE ON THE ACTIONS THAT YOU PERFORM THAT DAY AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE MONDAY MORNING QUARTER BACKED OR TO BE, TO HAVE SOMEBODY SAY THAT YOU DIDN'T DO THE RIGHT THING WHEN THE MOMENT PRESENTED ITSELF, WE RELY ON OUR TRAINING AND RELY ON OUR EXPERIENCE TO MAKE SURE WE MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN. AND EACH AND EVERY OFFICER IS NOT HERE OR DO THEY HERE ONTO LOSE THEIR JOBS OR TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE THEIR JOBS ARE JEOPARDIZED. THEY HERE ON BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SERVE YOU THE PUBLIC AND THEY WANT TO DO IT NOT FOR THEMSELVES BECAUSE OFFICERS DON'T MAKE THE MONEY THAT YOU CAN MAKE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

LOOKING OVER THE OBJECTIVES FOR THE YEAR ONE, I WAS REALLY PLEASED TO SEE THE PUBLIC SAFETY OBJECTIVES THAT WERE CONNECTED TO ACS. I THINK THAT THE DELIVERY THEY DEVELOPED, PROGRAM THEY ESTABLISHED WHICH IS THOUGHTFUL AND INCLUDED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THAT NECESSITATES THE TYPE OF FUNDING THAT THEY ARE PROVIDED. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT SOME OF THE LINE ITEMS THAT WERE PLACED IN THE BUDGET DRAFTS THAT WERE PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE. I HAVE HEARD THAT SINCE THE ORIGINAL RED LINE DRAFTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES SO I WOULD CALL THE COUNCIL TO PLEASE CLARIFY ANY CHANGES PLACED ON THE WEBSITE FOR PUBLIC VIEW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> ROMERO: (INAUDIBLE). I AM PERTURBED AS A RETIRED TEACHER AND A PERSON FROM DISTRICT 5 OR ANYWHERE IN NEW MEXICO, THEY ARE NOT DOING IT TODAY, I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW I FEEL, FROM BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A GREAT WOMAN SO DECISIONS MADE IN A MAN'S LIFE IT TOOK A GREAT WOMAN TO THERE BEEN TO GUIDE YOU. I AM ASKING YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO RECONSIDER THESE ENCAMPMENTS THAT YOU ARE PROPOSING AS WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE GOING TO COME TODAY BUT APPARENTLY ITEMS NEXT WEEK. I PRAY THATWE YOU RECONSIDER HOMELESS TENTS TO BE PLACED ALL OVER NEW MEXICO. I AM A PERSON THAT LOVES EVERYTHING. I HELP THE HOMELESS AND GO OUT OF MY WAY TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE WHAT THEY NEED. I AM A REALIST BUT I CAN SEE THAT MOST OF THESE PEOPLE CHOOSE TO BE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, ONE REASON BEING DRUG AND ALCOHOLISM. TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WITH KIDS THAT WE AREO NOT HAPPY. AS CITIZENS FROM AMERICA AND NEW MEXICO WE WILL FIGHT EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T PUT PEOPLE AND CHILDREN FIRST. I PRAY THAT YOU RECONSIDER THAT YOU ARE PLANNING BEFORE YOU DO ILAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> SHRADER: THE BIBLE HAS MANY VERSES SUPPORTING -- SADLY THE BIBLE NEVER SAYS ALL LABOR IS EVIL. THE PILE HAS VERSES SAYING GOD COMMANDED MASS MURDER IN WAR. THE BIBLE NEVER SAYS WAR IS EVIL. THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS PROMISED HELP HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE GOOD GIFTS. >> PEOPLE HAVE PRAYED -- SICKNESS FIRE TORNADOES FLOODS HURRICANES EARTHQUAKES. MILLIONS HAVE PROVIDED RECEIVE NO HELP, DON'T GET ME WRONG 'BIBLE HAS SOME PRECIOUS WISDOM BUT BECAUSE THE BIBLE NEVER ONCE BANS ALL SLAVERY OR BANS ALL WAR, THE BIBLE LIES SAYING GOD WILL HELP THOSE WHO PRAYHO AND BELIEVE. THE BIBLE IS NOT A GOOD BOOK. THE BIBLE IS NOT A HOLY BOOK. I WAS A YOUNG, VERY SINCERE, PREACHER, 56 YEARS AGO IN VIRGINIA AND LATER ILLINOIS. I APOLOGIZE FOR SPREADING FALSE ADVERTISING FOR GOD. I THANK MANY PEOPLE WHO HELPED ME ON MY VERY LONG JOURNEY AWAY FROM ADDICTION TO RELIGION. >> MORALES: >> GOOD EVENING. CITY COUNCIL, I AM A LICENSED REALTOR SINCE 2003 AND THIS IDO THING THAT I AM HERE TODAY -- WE KNOW HOW THIS COULD AFFECT OUR RESIDENTIAL -- HOW PROPERTIES ARE SOLD IN THE MLS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF BUT IT IS ALSO GOING TO AFFECT OUR REAL ESTATE MARKET. WANTED YOU TO GUYS TO RECONSIDER THAT AND THESE HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE ON DRUGS NOT ALL OF THEM BUT MOST OF THEM AND IT WOULD BE HARD TO KEEP THAT AWAY FROM OUR KIDS, THERE IS NEEDLES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW. WE ARE FINDING THINGS LIKE THAT AND I AM FINDING NEEDLES ON MY STREET. LITTLE KIDS ARE RUNNING AROUND FINDING NEEDLES IN THE PARK. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE DANGEROUS FOR OUR CITY, NOT ONLY WILL IT AFFECT OUR REAL ESTATE MARKET AND PRICES BUT IT IS GOING TO AFFECT OUR BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO COME HERE IN THE FUTURE. ALSO, IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO POLICE THE ONE THAT YOU HAVE NOW AT THE PARK DOWNTOWN, HOW AREN, WE GOING TO POLICE IF YOU GUYS DECIDE TO DO THIS? THOSE ARE JUST ISSUES THAT I WANTED YOU GUYS TO CONSIDER AND ALSO IF THIS IS PASSED, IF THERE WAS ANY WAY WE COULD DO A TEST PERIOD, MAYBE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IF YOU GUYS CHOOSE TOGU DO IT, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO DO IT, MAYBE WE TEST IT OUT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FIRST AND THEN SEE IF THAT WORKS AND IF YOUR NEIGHBORS AND MAYBE WE CAN VOTE ON IT AS THE PEOPLE IN ALBUQUERQUE INSTEAD OF JUST YOU GUYS VOTING ON IT. SO, MAYBE WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TODAY. >> LAZAR: >> SEISBERRY: -- >> MS. WARD: I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS (INAUDIBLE). WE SUPPORT THE MAYOR'S (INAUDIBLE). THE PROPOSED AS WRITTEN IS PROBLEMATIC. ONE WHAT IS RED HERRING USED BEING A TAX. ASSOCIATIONS NOT TAXING AUTHORITIES AND DO NOT CONDUCTS ELECTIONS FOR PUBLIC OFFICE. THEY CONDUCT INTERNAL ELECTIONS FOR PRIVATE VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS. ITRG IS EDUCATED GUESS THAT COUNCIL STAFF DID A LOT OF COPYING ANDPASTING FROM ORDINANCES IN OTHER CITY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT FOLLOW CENSUS TRACK AND COVER ALL RESIDENTS IN A MUNICIPALITY. (INAUDIBLE) SHOULD I START OVER? OKAY THANKS. ISSUE OF OVERLAPPING BOUNDARIES IS MISUSED AN INDIVIDUAL MAY CHOOSE TO BE A MEMBER OF MORE THAN ONE VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION AT A TIME. BEING A MEMBER OF THE LION'S CLUB DOES NOT PRECLUDE BEING A MEMBER OF KIWANIS. PLEASE DO NOT OVER RIDE 22-15, THANK YOU. I'LL STOP MY COMMENTS BECAUSE IDO STUFF IS HEARD UNTIL JUNE, RIGHT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS CORRECT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT MR. LAZAR IS HERE. >> NAMINSKI: (NOT PRESENT). >> THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I REPRESENT NAOP COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION. FIRST, I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL FOR FUNDING PLANNING DEPARTMENT BUDGET REQUEST, AS WE MAKE MASSIVE CHANGES WITHIN THE IDO, HAVING A FULLY STAFFED DEPARTMENT IS IMPERATIVE TO THOSE CHANGES. SECOND, I HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE IN FAVOR OF THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT BENEFIT, I WANT TO EXPRESS BUSINESS COMMUNITIES APPROVAL FOR THIS INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO MARKETING OUR CITY TO VISITORS AND PROSPECTIVE RESIDENTS ALIKE. NEXT, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE MENAUL MRA, METROPOLITAN REDEVELOPMENT AREAS ARE USEFUL TOOLS INCENTIVIZE AREAS WHILE MITIGATE SOMETHING RISKS. I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO OVER RIDE MAYOR'S VETO OF NEIGHBORHOOD RECOGNITION ORDINANCE. THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS BROKEN ANDN IS IN NEED OF OVER HAUL. THIS ORDINANCE WILL HELP FACILITATE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AT ALL LEVELS. TAKING THIS IRON DO THIS DOWN H A VETO IS AVOIDING EMPOWERING NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO MEANINGFUL ENGAGE WITH THE CITY. IN SUMMARY, THANK YOU FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET. PLEASE SUPPORT THE MENAUL MRA AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT BENEFIT AND PLEASE VOTE TO OVER RIDE THE VETO. THANK YOU. >> AARON MOORE? >> MOORE: THANK YOU. (INAUDIBLE). I AM HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUDGET. I AM URGING YOUR SUPPORT IN PASSING THOSE. HOUSING IS A PRECARIOUS SITUATION IN ALBUQUERQUE. THERE WAS A REPORT IN 2020 COMMISSIONED BY THE URBAN INSTITUTE SHOWING THAT WE LACK 15,500 UNITS AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH MODERATE INCOME. THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS A LOW INCOME IS INCREASING WHILE AVAILABILITY W IS DECREASING. ONE IN FOUR RESIDENTS WHO ARE RENTING ARE EXTREMELY LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALSOW OR FAMILIES. THAT IS ONE IN FOUR PEOPLE WHO WITH SUPPLY HOUSING THEY MAY CHOOSE FROM TO TRY AND HAVE A GOOD LIFE HERE IS DECREASING. THAT IS ARE TOUGH SITUATION TO BE IN. THE URBAN INSTITUTE RECOMMEND AS TWO-PRONGED APPROACH. INCREASE CAPITAL PRODUCTION OF HOUSING THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE TO AFFORDABLE TO INDIVIDUALS WITH LOW INCOME AS WELL AS SUBSIDIES AVAILABLE. I BELIEVE THIS BUDGET PROPOSAL REACHES BOTH OF THOSE AREAS, 20 MILLION INCREASE IN CAPITAL PRODUCTION AND TEN MILLION FOR SUBSIDIES. I URGE SUPPORT ON BOTH OF THESE TO SEE THAT IS THE BARE MINIMUM. >> AVILA: (NOT PRESENT). >> HORVATH: (INAUDIBLE). I HAVE BEEN ATTENDING ALL THE IDO MEETINGS BUT I KNOW WE POSTPONED UNTIL JUNE WHICH IS GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THESERY ARE REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD FOCUS ON THREE AMENDMENTS THATH I STILLAT HAVE CONCERN ABOUT. MAJOR PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF IT TO NRDOB BUT THERE IS A USE TABLE THAT MAKES CERTAIN USES PERMISSIVE IN OPEN SPACE ZONING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT BECAUSE IF IT IS PERMISSIVE OR PERMISSIVE ACCESSORY DOES THAT MEAN IT IS AUTOMATIC SOME OF THOSE USES O TO GO ON OPEN SPACE. THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS THE COMMUNITY HAS. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE CELL TOWERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT. SECONDLY, ON THE DOB, THAT KIND OF CAME UP SUDDENLY AND I THINK IT IS A MAJOR CHANGE AND RIGHT NOWND THE DRB HAVE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED WITH, THE LAST MEETING I WENT TO, THEY WERE VERY RESPECTFUL, LISTENED TO THE PUBLIC AND APPLICANT AND WE KIND OF DISCUSSED ISSUES THAT WE ARE HAVING LIKE WITH DRIVE THROUGH WINDOWS AND TRAFFIC STICKING OUT INTO THE LANES SO WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS A PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECAME A PROBLEM. SO, I THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD HOLD OFF ON JUST MOVING THAT FORWARD. THIRD, PARKING REDUCTIONS. I KNOW WE ALWAYS ASK FOR PARKING REDUCTIONS AND OLYMPUS AMOUNTS WANT TO REDUCED PARKING BUT I HAVE AN APARTMENT DOWN THE HILL NEXT TO THE BOSQUE AND THEY ARE JUST SQUEEZED WITH PARKING. IT IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE FOR THE MANAGER, TENANTS AND THE PEOPLE SO I THINK THAT SHOULD BELD HELD OFF TOO. I THINK WE NEED TO JUST, YOU KNOW,OU WE DON'T WANT TO RUIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THESE MORE CAREFULY. THANK YOUOR VERY MUCH. >> MOVE TO SPEAKERS ON DOOM. >> JAY WILSON: OKAY. GOOD AFTERNOON. I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ALBUQUERQUE -- (INAUDIBLE). I AM SPEAKING AGAINST PROPOSED CUTS TO THE OFFICE OF INCLUSION. JUSTICE AND RESTORATION SHOULD NOT BE COLLATERAL DAMAGES OF A FISCAL YEAR. NOT THIS YEAR OR ANY YEAR MOVING FORWARD. THERE WERE HISTORIC STRIDES MADE SINCE LAST SUMMER BUT (INAUDIBLE) THE COMMITMENT TO (INAUDIBLE) MUST BE NATURAL, SUSTAINED AND ADAMANT. INITIATIVES OF THE OFFICE OF EQUITY AND INCLUSION HAVE GONE A LANGLONG -- LONG WAY (INAUDIBLE). WHEN IT COMES TO BUDGETS, BUDGETS REFLECTS RELATIONSHIP AND NATURE OF WHAT OFFICIALS WANT TO DO WITH THE COMMUNITY THEY REPRESENT AND THAT WHEN IT COMES TO ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES AND DISPARITIES HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE WE CANNOT PEACE MEAL OR USE MEETINGER EFFORTS OR MEETING EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES. I ENCOURAGE THE SUBMIT I TODAY TO THE FUNDS AT DESIRED LEVELS AND TO PUSH THE BUDGET FORWARD INTO FUTURE YEARS. IF WE WANT TO SEE A MORE INCLUDED, MORE EMPOWERED AND REPRESENTATIVE ALBUQUERQUE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE ENCOURAGE THE STATE TO STAY RESOLUTE TOWARD EQUITY AND INCLUSION. >> CRUZ: (INAUDIBLE). PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES TO INCORPORATE IN YOUR CONTINUING WORK. WE WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THREE ISSUES. RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION EXEMPTIONS IS FIRST. (INAUDIBLE) ALLOWING MOST OF THE PROPOSALS TO INCLUDE EXEMPTIONS WOULD PERMIT UNRESTRICTED NUMBERS AND LOW CASES OF THESE FACILITIES. IT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR FURTHERANCE OF A COMPELLING GOVERNMENTAL INTEREST WHICH MEANS (INAUDIBLE) WE REQUEST -- TWO, WE OPPOSE ZONING CHANGES (INAUDIBLE). THREE, WE SUPPORT. THE ICC REQUEST INCLUDING THE PROPOSED CHANGES (INAUDIBLE) FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS AND COMMENTS CAN OCCUR POSSIBLY INCLUDING IDO REQUIRED EPC HEARINGS. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THESE IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS. >> RAMOS CRUZ: I WILL BE SPEAKING PART TO OLD TOWN AMENDMENT OF THE IDO. I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED TO BE SWORN IN. >> MR. PRESIDENT, THE SPEAKER IS PROPOSING TO SPEAK ABOUT OLD TOWN AMENDMENT TO IDO, THE COUNCIL HAS BEEN TREATING THOSE MATTERS AS QUASI JUDICIAL AND GIVING THEM HEIGHTENED PROCEDURES. SPEAKER ASKED IF SHE SHOULD BE SWORN IN AND ANSWER IS YES HOWEVER PART OF IS ENSURING FOLKS ARE SWORN IN AND SOME OTHER SAFEGUARDS BUT ANOTHER PARTIES MAKING SURE THE RECORD IN THE MATTER IS CONTROLLED SINCE THAT MATTER ISN'T UP FOR DISCUSSION IT WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE TO TAKE COMMENT ON THAT MATTER BEFORE IT IS ACTUALLY BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND HOW INPUT COMES INTO THAT. I DON'T THINK THE SPEAKER SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE TONIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT. >> MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE I SAY WHAT ELSE I WAS GOING TO SAY? >> Coun. Benson: NOT IF IT IS ABOUT OLD TOWN? >> C. UZ: IT IS NOT. THE OTHER ISSUE I WANTED TO BRING TODAY, I WANT TO THANK ALL THE STAFF OF THE CITY COUNCIL WHO HAVE HELPED ME LEARN HOW THE COUNCIL WORKS AND THE PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED WHEN A CITIZENS WANTS TO MAKE HIS OR HER VOICE HEARD AS WELL AS HOW TO INTERPRET VARIOUS DOCUMENTS AND AGENDA ITEMS PERTINENT TO MY ISSUE. IN ALL MY INTERACTIONS WITH THE STAFF, I HAVE FOUND THEM KNOWLEDGEABLE COURTEOUS PROMPT AND PATIENT. IN PARTICULAR, I WANT TO RECOGNIZE MORRIS WHO ANSWERED MANY EMAILS FROM ME SEEKING FURTHER CLARIFICATION SOMETIMES AT THE LAST MINUTE ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON. YOU COUNCILORS AND WE THE PUBLIC ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE AT THEIR POSTS. THANK YOUT FOR YOUR ATTENTION. >> Coun. Benson: THANK YOU. >> SELINA CONLEY: GOOD EVENING. I AM HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE ZERO FARES FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. MY I AM THE PARENT OF A SEVENTH GRADER, TOBY, AT GRANT. WE LIVE OUT OF DISTRICT FOR GRANT SO BUSIES IMPORTANT PART OF OUR FAMILY'S TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS. HE RIDES NO. 11 BUS ONES OR TWICE A WEEK. THIS HELPS BOTH OF US, WITH FULL-TIME JOBS AND IT HELPS MY KID TO DEVELOP SELF DETERMINATION. IT WILL BE IMPACTFUL THIS SUMMER WHEN MY KID WILL VOLUNTEER ON THE THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >> PATRICIA WILSON: MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, REGARDING EC22-79 I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU SUSTAIN THE MAYOR'S VOTE OWE OF O-22-15. ON HAPPEN 18, PRIOR TO PASSING IT ON A 5-4 VOTE, COUNCIL PRESIDENT BENTON VEHEMENTLY INSISTEDEH THIS ISSUE DID NOT NEED TO BE REHASHED, THAT IT HAD BEEN DEALT WITH IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. YOU HAVE ALL SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED FACTS ABOUT HOW FAULTY THE PROCESS WAS. FOR THAT REASON ALONE, YOU MUST SUSTAIN THIS VETO. THE CITY IS SUFFERING FROM MANY THINGS THAT WERE PUSHED THROUGH BECAUSE THEY DID NOT NEED TO BE REHASHED. THE ART PROJECT, FOR ONE. AFTER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BUS RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT DID NOT NEED TO BE A CENTER LOADED DEDICATED LANE BUS TO QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL MONEY, DID THE DESIGN TEAM TAKE A STEP BACK AND INCORPORATE VASQUEZ AMOUNTS OF FREE PROFESSIONAL INPUT? NO. YOU HAVE AN ENORMOUS RESOURCE AVAILABLE TO YOU TO HELP YOU REHASH THE TOMORROW AND CREATE A DOCUMENT THAT COORDINATES CORRECTLY WITH THE IDO, SERVES THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND PROTECTS NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT SAME VOLUNTEER RESOURCE HAS PROVIDED HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF INPUT INTO O-22-10, IDO ANNUAL UPDATE. WE ARE HERE TO HELP BUT WE ARE TIRED OF BEING IGNORED. THANK YOUD. VERY MUCH. >> FIELBEMAN: THANK YOU. I AM DIRECTOR OF THE RIO GRANDE CHAPTER OF THE SIERRA CLUB AND I REPRESENT OVER 35,000 MEMBERS STATE-WIDE, MOST OF WHOM LIVE IN BERNALILLO COUNTY.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR'S AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION STATE OF THE AIR REPORT AND YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THAT THERE ARE 10,000 CASES OF PEDIATRIC ASTHMA IN BERNALILLO AND ANOTHER 54,000 ADULT CASES LEADING NOT JUST TO CARE SCARY HEALTH CRISES S BUT MISSED DAYS AT SCHOOLS AND WORK. ZERO FAIRS CAN HELP KEEP OUR AIR CLEAN AND FELTY FOR ALL RESIDENTS AND THOSE THAT COME TO VISIT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO AND WE HOPE WE'LL SEE ZERO FARES IN THE BUDGET. >> MICHAEL BRASHER: MR. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, PRESIDENT OF THE INTERCOALITION COUNCIL. TONIGHT. I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO SUSTAIN THE MAYOR'S VETO OF O-22-15 REVISED. BEEN PROVIDED WITH DETAILED RESEARCH ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. IT RAISES SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THE CONTRACTOR CARRIEDTO OUT EVERYTHING THEY WERE CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO DO. ALSO A NOTE, PLEASE DO NOT ELIMINATEOT THE DRB. ALSO, NEIGHBORHOODS DON'T CHARGE FROM 50 TO 100-DOLLARS AS HAS BEEN STATED IN A PREVIOUS MEETING AND IT IS SO OBVIOUS YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO VOTE IN NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS. THE TINT COALITION COUNCIL HAS PUT IN HOURS OF WORK TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING THAT IS HELPFUL -- INFORMATION THAT IS HELPFUL TO YOU TO GUIDE YOU IN YOUR DECISION MAKES PROCESS. WE STAND READY TO WORK WITH YOU WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL WORK FOR ALL. VOLUNTEERS HAVE PUT IN MANY HOURS AND THE WORK IS APPRECIATED. PLEASE, PLEASE UPHOLD THE MAYOR'S VETO. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. >> MARK POWELL: GOOD EVENING. MR. PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL, FIRST, THANK TO YOU OUR SERVICE. WE HAVE EXTRAORDINARY TOWN AND IT IS IN LARGE MEASURE DUE TO (INAUDIBLE) TONIGHT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT. I AM HERE REPRESENTING THE NEW MEXICO INDEPENDENT AUTO DEALERS ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF THE MENAUL REDEVELOPMENT AREA. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS CORRIDOR HAS UNFORTUNATELY BEEN TREATED AS A TRANSIT CORRIDOR IN THE VITAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT THAT EXISTS THERE HAS FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR. WE THINK AT THIS TIME IS A FIRST STEP TO CALM TRAFFIC AND CREATING A NEW COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WILL BE GREAT. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >> ROMERO: HELLO, I AM HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE FOUNDATION OF NEW MEXICO UNITED. OUR ORGANIZATION IS IN FULL -- ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE IN LOW INCOME AREAS. HUGE POPULATION OF FAMILIES THAT ATTEND CLINICS USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. I CAN SAY THAT A LOT OF OUR LOCAL NONPROFITS BENEFIT FROM ZERO FARES FOR ITS MAKES TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE TO POPULATIONS WE SERVE. THIS IS HUGE TO DIMINISH BARRIERS IN LOW INCOME AREAS WHEN IT COMES TO CHILDREN PAR ADVERTISE WAITINGP IN ACTIVITIES. WE HAVE FOUND NOT ONLY CAN MOST FAMILIES NOT AFFORD TO HAVE CHILDREN IN SPORTS BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE ABILITY TO TRANSPORT THEMO TO PRACTICES, GAMES ORES OTHER ACTIVITIES. ZERO FARES HAS HELPED KIDS IN SCHOOLS BE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. IF WE GET RID OF ZERO FARES COMMUNITY EFFORTS WILL BE EXCLUSIVE TO THOSE WITH INCOME TO GET THEM THERE. LET'S CONTINUE TO INCLUDE EVERYONE FROM EAST TO WEST AND NORTH TO SOUTH HAVE ZERO FARES FOR ALL. THANK YOU. >> GAULT: CAN YOU HEAR ME? THIS IS A COMMENT ABOUT ZERO FARES. (INAUDIBLE) EVERYBODY -- (INAUDIBLE). I AM HERE NOT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. I AM ACTUALLY HERE JUST AS A HARD WORKING CITIZEN HERE LIVING IN ALBUQUERQUE AND SO I WILL BE LEARNING ABOUT THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CITY WIDE HOMELESS CAMP SITE. YOU KNOW, THE DISCUSSION THERE, SO, I AM HERE TO ASK YOU TO OPPOSE -- I AM ASK YOU TO SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT THIS HOMELESS CAMP SITE. THIS IS A DISASTER FOR ALBUQUERQUE. I THINK MANY OF YOU COUNCILORS HAVE RECEIVED EMAILS FROM PEOPLE ALL OVER THE CITY. LIMITED OR UNLIMITED OR 45 HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS, THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS, OKAY? SO THEY MAKE THE CITY LOOK, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST GO ANYWHERE WHERE THERE ARE KIDS NOW. THE HOMELESSEN CAMP MEANT OR CAMP SITE DO NOT SOLVE THE HOMELESS ISSUE HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE. THE CRIME IN ALBUQUERQUE IS ALREADY SKY ROCKET. YOU GET A CAMP AND THOSE PEOPLE CAN WORK TOGETHER AND CREATE MORE CRIME SO IN THIS KIND OF PRACTICE IS ALREADY USING IN PLACES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO. I ASK YOU TO ABANDON THISSEN CAMPMENT PROGRAM. HAVE YOU ALL THE COUNCILORS ALLOR THE -- HAVE YOU DONE A STUDY. MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE? WHERE DO THEY COME FROM. >> THANK YOU, YOUR TIME IS UP. >> THANK YOU. >> PENDLETON: HELLO. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE SUSTAIN THE MAYOR'S VETO. I HAVE BEEN AT NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS WHERE WE HAVE HAD 30 PEOPLE TO SHOW UP WHO NEVER ATTENDED A MEETING IN THE PAST AND FOR ONE SPECIFIC REASON, TO OVER THROW -- WELL, IT IS A HOSTILE TAKE OVER AND IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THESE ISSUES FOR EVER. I THINK THERE IS GOOD REASON TO HAVE DUES BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE CAN'T JUST SHOW UP AND DO A HOSTILE TAKE OVER. IT IS A LITTLE OVERWHELMING WHEN THAT HAPPENS, SO, PLEASE, SUSTAIN THE MAYOR'S VETO BECAUSE WEE NEED TO REFINE THAT BILL. >> I ALSO WANT TO ASK YOU NOT TO DO AWAY WITH THE DRB. IT IS A WAY FOR THE COMMON CITIZEN TO BE HEARD. I HAVE SPOKEN THERE A NUMBER OF TIMES. IT IS VERY HELPFUL AND THERE IS GOOD INTERACTION BETWEEN BOTH SIDES THERE. AND I JUST FEEL LIKE IT IS ANOTHER WAY TO TAKE AWAY THE CITIZENS' VOICE, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK THE IDO IS DOING SINCE I WENT TO THE ABCZ MEETING AND THEIR GOAL WAS TO SILENCE THE AVERAGE CITIZENS. I NEED TO HAVE THE DRB MAINTAINED AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE OPEN SPACE REMAINING OPEN SPACE. I DON'T WANT IT TO BE USED FOR CELL TOWERS OR STAGING AREAS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. WE WORK HARD TO GET THE -- I HAVE DONE SO MANY FUNDRAISERS FOR OPEN SPACE AND THIS IS PRIVATE PEOPLES' MONEY THAT US BUYING THESE PROPERTIES. I DON'T THINK THE CITY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO JUST TAKE IT OVER AND USE IT WHEN WE HAVE GONE INTO OUR OWN POCKETS TO TRY AND PURCHASE THESE LANDS. >> THANK YOU YOUR TIME IS UP. >> BLANCHARD: HELLO MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, MY NAME IS ROSEMARY BLANCHARD AND I AM A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 2. I LIVE IN THE NEAR ***REPORTER'S NOTE*** VALLEY, WORSHIPER AT ALBUQUERQUE FRIENDS MEETING, DISTRICT TO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BUT STILL IN THE NEAR NORTH VALLEY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ACTION 02210 WILL NOT BE HEARD TONIGHT, WILL BE CONTINUED. I WANTED TO SPEAK TODAY IN SUPPORT, IN GENERAL, OF THE CREATION OF A VARIETY OF SHELTERING ALTERNATIVES FOR OUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS, INSECURELYS, HOUSED NEIGHBORS AND NEIGHBORS WHO CANNOT FIND ADEQUATE HOUSING THEY CAN AFFORD. MEAN CREATING APPROPRIATE PERMISSIVE USES OR SAFE OUTDOOR SPACES, SUPPORTING MOTEL TRANSFORMATION INTO HOUSING, SUPPORTING RENT SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE WITH DEALING WITH BACK RENT OWING TO LANDLORDS, ET CETERA, APPLICATION OF THE HOME INVESTMENT PLAN, AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN, RESOURCES, ET CETERA. WE WILL BECOME A SAFER CITY BY CRIMINAL ICING UNHOUSED. OR BY DRIVING THOSE LIVING OUTDOORS FROM ONE SITE TO ANOTHER. DIVERSE SYSTEMS OF OPTIONS OVER SEEN AND GUIDED BY PUBLIC/PRIVATE COPSING AND COORDINATION WILL MAKE US BOTH A MORE HUMAN CITY AND SAFER. AND AN ATTRACTIVE CITY FOR BOTH ARRIVING BUSINESS AND RESIDENTS. OURNT HOMELESS UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO DISAPPEAR. IF WE WILL ACCEPT THEM AS OUR NEIGHBORS WITH PARTICULAR NEEDS AND RECOGNIZE THAT WE ALL HAVE NEEDS, INCLUDING NEEDS FOR A SAFE CITY AND PLACES TO PLAY AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE CAN CREATE A SYSTEM THAT IS HUMANE AND EFFECTIVE. ANDCT DEALS WITH ALL THESE GROUPS. IFPS WE JUST TRY TO SHUT DOWN THE EXISTENCE OF HOMELESS PEOPLE IN ALBUQUERQUE, THAT ISN'T GOING TO WORK. SO, PLEASE, KEEP GOING FORWARD WITH THIS VARIETY OF OPTIONS TO DEAL WITH WAYS TO SUPPORT UNHOUSED. >> THAT CONCLUDES GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Coun. Benson: THANK YOUEN MR. MOYA.

I KNOW THEY ARE WORKING ON SOME KINDS OF REPORTS BUT WE DO HAVE PAGES THAT ALL OF OUR COMMANDERS REPORT TO AND WE ARE WORKING ON A SERIES OF PAGES THAT WILL BE AREA COMMAND SPECIFIC.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOU COULD PUT IT IN REGULAR PRINT FORMAT ANDAT I'LL ASK YOU AND WE CAN RUN IT BIOLOGY IT BY THE COUNCH TIME. IH WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. >> Coun. Davis: THANK YOU. CHIEF WELCOME BACK.is I AM GET AHEAD OF MYSELF BUT WE TALKED ABOUT SPONSORSHIPS FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE MEETING WITH APD ABOUT INCLUDING THEM IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES. COULD YOU GIVE US UPDATE ON THE MEETINGE WITH ALBUQUERQUE PRIDE AND WHERE THAT WENT YESTERDAY? >> MEDINA: THE MEETING WENT WELL. THERE WAS A CONCERN THAT THEY WANT A MORE RECURRING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEPARTMENT. I USED EXAMPLE (INAUDIBLE) I AM GOING TO PUT THEM IN TOUCH WITH GREEN AND FROM THAT ORGANIZATION SO THAT THEY COULD SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING HOW WE WORK TOGETHER. THE MEETING WENT WELL AND AND Y MUCH SUPPORTED AS YOU AND DIRECTION WE ARE GOING. >> Coun. Davis: WE COVERED IT A LOT ABOUT KNOWS I INITIATIVES. I WOULD LIKE TO REPLICATE THAT WITH OTHER GROUPS. I WANT TO TELL PEOPLE AT ALBUQUERQUE PRIDE WE WANT TO BE SURE THEY ARE PARTNER WITH ALL PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY WITH APD. HOW MANY TIMES A DAY MEMBERS AT APD INTERACT WITH THEIR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. >> MEDINA: WE DID A SECOND AMBASSADOR TO HELP WITH THE DUTIES. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. >> Coun. Pena: MY QUESTION ISN'T FOR THE CHIEF. JUST A COMMENT? LOOKS LIKE THERE IS VALUABLE INFORMATION IN THERE. MY QUESTION WAS LAST MEETING I HAD ASKED FOR INFORMATION RELATED TO HOW MUCH IT COST FOR THE UPKEEP OF CORONADO PARK AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS UPDATE ON THAT. >> FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT NUMBERS FOR ONE CORONADO PARK WE HAVE SEEN TWO OFFICERS AND TWO CARS USING DHS REIMBURSEMENT RATE FOR CARS AND INCLUDING PAY FOR THE TWO OFFICERS, THE PD, 950 APPROXIMATELY. DEPENDING ON IF THERE IS ANY OTHER USE OF FORCE OR HAVE TO CALL ANYBODY, BUT LET'S SAY NOTHING HAPPENS AND TWO OFFICERS AND TWO CARS OUR PART OF THAT IS $900. >> THAT IS 950 -- >> DOLLARS. >> WEEKLY, MONTHLY. >> THAT IS JUST ONE PARTICULAR CLEAN-UP. DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF TIMES WE GO, ABOUT $950 EACH TIME WE GO OUT TO DO THAT. >> COUNCILOR JONES. >> Coun. Jones: THIS IS NOT JUST A FILLER BUT THERE YOU ARE, SO, WHEN YOU SAY YOU DO A CLEAN-UP, AND YOU ARE SENDING TWO OFFICERS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE CLEAN-UP? ARE YOU JUST MOVING PEOPLE OUT, ARRESTING, OR ARE YOU ACTUALLY CLEANING? >> COUNCILOR JONES I APOLOGIZE, WE ARE THERE TO ASSIST THE OTHER CITY AGENCIES SOI WE HAVE TWO OFFICERS PRESENT WITH THE TWO CARS AS KIND OF OVER WATCH. WE DO NOT HAVE THE OFFICERS CLEAN. IF I CAN DEFER TO THE CHIEF. >> MEDINA: DIRECTOR COULD BEST RESPOND TO THAT, ALL AND IS PROVIDE SECURITY AT THE TIME TO ENSURE OTHER CITY EMPLOYEES ARE SAFE WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING AND NOBODY IS THREATENING THEM AND THEY WILL CLEAN-UP THE PARK AND THE INDIVIDUALS WILL GENERALLY LEAVE AT THAT POINT. >> Coun. Jones: SO, WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS WHEN WE TALK CLEAN-UP WE ARE STICKING IN MY HEAD IT COST $950 EACH TIME YOU CLEAN-UP, THAT IS NOT TO CLEAN-UP, THAT IS THE CLEANING OUT? >> THAT IS JUST OUR INITIAL COST TO HAVE TWO PEOPLE THERE BUT OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS ARE DOING OTHER WORK. >> Coun. Jones: I AM SURE MR. WHALEN IS GOING TO HELP US WITH THAT. >> WHALEN: SO, EVERY OTHER WEEK WE DO A CLEAN OUT OF THE PARK WHERE IT IS CLOSED FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 3 OR 4:00 P.M. THAT DOES ENTAIL, ENTAILS SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS. ALBUQUERQUE GOES IN BEFORE US TO OFFER SERVICES, WE CLOSE IT EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY AND THE CLEAN OUT IS WE DO CLEAN THE WHOLE PARK WITH APD SUPPORT THEYT ARE THERE TO PROTECTS WORKERS, MAKE SURE NOTHING HAPPENS. THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE PEOPLE ARE ARRESTED. I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBERS BUT THERE HAS BEEN ONE OR TWO TIMES. WE CLEAR OUT THE PARKS, PARKS DOES ONE SIDE AND WE DO THE OTHER SIDE. THE PARK IS ESSENTIALLY EMPTY AND MAINTENANCE HAPPENS AND IF THERE IS ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS SPRINKLERS, THEN WE DO IT AS GENERAL CLEANING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS AND TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND SAFE. >> Coun. Jones: WHAT DO YOU USE THE SPRINKLERS FOR? THERE IS NO GRASS? >> THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN THEY AREHE STILL WORKING AND FUNCTIONING AND NOT BEING DAMAGED. >> Coun. Jones: ARE THEY OCCASIONALLY DAMAGED. >> THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THINGS DO GET DAMAGED THAT DO NEED REPAIRS. >> Coun. Jones: I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF NOT JUST POLICE COST FOR THIS EVERY OTHER WEEK OR WAIT COSTS THE CITY EVERY OTHER WEEK TO CLEAN OUT SO WE CAN MOVE THE SAME PEOPLE AND START THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN. UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY. >> MR. DAVIS FROM BUDGET DOES HAVE A TOTAL COST WE ALL SUBMIT TO HIM BUT WE DO THE GENERAL CLEANING AND PARK REOPENS AT 4:00. >> Coun. Jones: WE ARE CLEANING IT UP AND THEY COME BACK IN, DO IT AGAIN, AND 2 WEEKS LATER, WE DO IT AGAIN? >> UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES. >> Coun. Pena: I THINK MR. DAVIS IS HERE TO ANSWER MY QUESTION AND THAT RELATES TO COUNCILOR JONES' QUESTION. I WAS GOING TO JUST ASK DIRECTOR WHAT IS THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH SOLID WASTE ANNUALLY. >> SOLID WASTE COSTS? >> ANNUALLY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANNUAL COST IS FOR CORONADO BUT WHEN WE DO WEDNESDAY CLEAN UPS IT AVERAGES BETWEEN 32 TO 3700 IN STAFF AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE DO ALSO GO THROUGH THE PARK TWO DAYS A WEEK AND DO A LITTER SWEEP. WE DON'T DO A COMPLETE CLEANING BUT A LITTER SWEEP. WE GO THROUGH THE PARK FIVE DAYS A WEEK BETWEEN US AND PARKS AND REC. >> THERE IS A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AS WELL, RIGHT. >> YES, THERE IS. >> Coun. Pena: WHAT IS THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. >> THOSE DAILY ONES THEY COULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3 AND 400, MAYBE 500 DEPENDING HOW MUCH STAFF IS DEDICATED AND HOW LONG THEY SPEND THERE. WE DO THOSE TWICE A WEEK. LITTER SWEEP MONDAY, SOLID WASTE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND PARKS AND REC THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR COSTS ARE BUT SOMETHING SIMILAR. >> Coun. Pena: IT IS DAMIAN I. >> YES. >> Coun. Pena: IF I CAN MR. DAVIS, THANK YOU. >> DATA THAT I COMPILED FROM COLORADO IDENTIFY WASTE, COMMUNITY SAFETY, PARKS AND RECOLLECT, FIRE AND POLICE AND OTHERS, TOTALS BIWEEKLY COST AT CORONADO IS 27,154. >> Coun. Pena: MR. PRESIDENT, THAT IS WEEKLY, BIWEEKLY. >> BIWEEKLY. >> Coun. Pena: ANNUAL COST YOU DON'T HAVE THAT. I CAN USE MY CALCULATOR. >> Coun. Benson: TEST TEST. >> Coun. Pena: 706 ANNUAL FOR CORONADO PARK. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SOME BUDGETARY ITEMS IN TERMS OF THE ENCAMPMENTS AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS 750 IN THE BUDGET FOR LIVING BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT IT DOESN'T SEEM AS THOUGH WE HAVE A BUDGET LINE ITEM FOR ENCAMPMENTS IF WE WERE TO ACTUALLY PASS THE IDO AMENDMENTS. IS THAT CORRECT? >> Mr. Melendres: I THINK I WOULD CALL ON SOMEBODY TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT A LINE ITEM BUDGET? >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> PRESIDENT BENTON, COUNCILLOR PENA, THERE IS ITEMS RELATED TO CAMP CLEAN UPS. FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN, THERE WAS A LINE ITEM IN PARKS TO INCREASE PERSONNEL FOR THAT COST. I BELIEVE IT WAS, YOU KNOW -- LET ME CHECK. THERE WAS LINE ITEM IN PARKS AND SOLID WASTE TO DO THE SAME THING AS WELL AS YOUR LIVING LOTS QUESTION, 750,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT PURPOSE. GIVE ME A FEW MINUTES I'LL CHECK ON THE OTHER ITEMS FOR PARKS AND SOLID WASTE. >> Coun. Pena: I WOULD LIKE THAT. WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DEVELOP SOME -- QUITE A FEW ENCAMPMENTS IF YOU WILL. I WANTI TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE BUDGET TO BE ABLE TO CARRY THAT OUT IF THAT IS THE WILL OF THIS COUNCIL. >> BENTON: WE'LL HAVE THAT AS AGENDA. >> RAEL: THAT INCLUDES FUNDING NORMALLY PAID FOR WITH ACS EMPLOYEES AND FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYEES AS WELL. THOSE ARE NUMBERS OF REGULAR STAFFS THAT ARE ALWAYS OUT IN THE FIELD DOING THE WORK. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT CORONADO PARK, YES, THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF, IF YOU WILL, FOCUS WORK ON THAT PARK BUT, FOR EXAMPLE, ACS EMPLOYEES, FAMILY COMMUNITY SERVICES EMPLOYEES THAT GO OUT TO PROVIDE OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATIONS, THEY ARE DOING THAT ACROSS THE CITY. SO I JUST WANTHE TO MAKE SURE THAT A PORTION OF THAT 27,000 IS ALREADY JUST DAY-TO-DAY OPERATING COSTS THAT WE ASSUME ANYWAY, SO, WE CAN GET MORE OF A SPECIFIC TARGETED NUMBER FOR YOU THAT WILL BE LESS THAN THAT AMOUNT BUT THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT MONITORING A PARK OF THAT SIZE WITH THAT MANY FOLKS AT THE PARK DOES COST SOME DOLLARS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP IT CLEAN AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT WE ARE NOT -- WE ARE PREVENTING ANY KIND OF DISEASES AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS IN ONE AREA AND WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FACILITIES LIKE BATHROOMS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE PROVIDING SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED. I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. >> BENTON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ADMINISTRATION? >> Coun. Grout: MR. PRESIDENT, I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE HOMELESS SHELTERS WE HAVE HERE. DOES FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICESCO REFER HOMELESS FOLKS TO DIFFERENT SHELTERS, LOCAL SHELTERS, PRIVATE SHELTERS OR JUST THE CITY SHELTERS? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT BENTON, COUNCILOR. >> Coun. Grout: , FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES REFERS TO ALL LOCAL SHELTERS BUT JUST TO CLARIFY, REALLY WHO IS DOING THE REFERRING ARE OUTREACH WORKERS TO INCLUDE ALBUQUERQUE COMMUNITY SAFETY, FIRST RESPONDERS TO OUREN CAMP MEANT WORKERS AS WELL. THEY ARE REFERRING TO ALL SHELTERS NOT JUST CITY. >> Coun. Grout: THAT IS GOOD TO HEAR. ARE THEY ALSO REFERRING THEM TO THE FAITH-BASED SHELTERS AS WELL? >> WE HAVE 10 SHELTER THAT WE OFTEN REFER IN ALBUQUERQUE. EIGHT ARE OPERATED BY DIFFERENT AGENCIES. ALBUQUERQUE OPPORTUNITY CENTER, BARRETT HOUSE, FAMILY PROMISE, GOOD SHEPHERD CENTER, JOY JUNCTION, NEW DAY SHELTER. SAFE HOUSE IS AN EMERGENCY SHELTER, WELLNESS HOTEL, WESTSIDE EMERGENCY HOUSING CENTER AND YDI. THREE OF THOSE, ALBUQUERQUE OPPORTUNITY CENTER, WELLNESS HOTEL AND WESTSIDE EMERGENCY HOUSING CENTER ARE ALL RUN UNDER CONTRACT. >> Coun. Grout: DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY SHELTER BEDS ARE IN ALL OF THOSE. >> THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 1100 SHELTER BEDS WHEN YOU COMBINE ALL THOSE TOGETHER. >> Coun. Grout: ARE THEY FILLED EVERY NIGHT? >> WE KNOW COUNCILOR SHELTER FOR THE WESTSIDE HOUSING CENTER THAT CAN HOLDUP TO 450 PEOPLE IS NOT FILLED EVERY EVENING. I. CAN'T REALLY SPEAK TO ALL THE OTHER SHELTERS. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MAY I ALSO ADD THAT WE KNOW FROM THE STUDY THAT WE HAVE DONE THAT WE SHARED WITH COUNCILORS IN PRIOR TIMES THAT WE NEED APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 500 MORE EMERGENCY BEDS TO MEET THE FULL NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY BUT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT, I SHARE THAT, BUT THAT ASSUMES WE ARE DOING NOTHING ELSE BUT ONLY PROVIDING EMERGENCY SHELTER. I ALWAYS LIKE TO BRING OUR SYSTEM RESPONSE THAT I KNOW MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH, SO, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT OUR RESPONSE TO OUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS,D EMERGENCY BEDS ARE IMPORTANT, BUT ALSO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS WELL AS HOUSING VOUCHERS AS WELL AS OUTREACH. SO, THE FIGURE I GIVE YOU FROM THE POPY STUDY ASSUMES WE DO NOTHING ELSE WHICH IS NOT THE CASE HERE. >> Coun. Grout: THANK YOU DIRECTOR VERY MUCH. >> Coun. Lewis: A QUICK FOLLOW-UP. WOULD IT BE WORTH HAVING THAT INFORMATION TO KNOW ALL 10 SHELTERS AND HOW MANY BEDS ARE AVAILABLE A NIGHT. CAN WE ASK THAT AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE, WOULD IT BE WORTH A STUDY DONE ON THAT OR SOME RESEARCH DONE ON THAT. TO KNOW HOW MANY AVAILABLE. WE TALKED ABOUT THE WESTSIDE SHELTER, BUT ALL OF THEM. >> PIERCE: I THINK, YES, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD REQUIRE A STUDY. WE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH ALL THOSE SHELTERS AND WE CAN GET A SENSE OF WHAT AVAILABILITY IS ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT. >> Coun. Lewis: I THINK THAT WOULD BE VALUABLE INFORMATION. IT IS A KEY PART OF -- WE TALKED ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS AND MAYBE HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY BEDS WE SHOULD HAVE AVAILABLE, HOW MANY MORE WE NEED. I THINKEE THAT IS A KEY PIECE OF INFORMATION, IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ALL COULD PUT TOGETHER, AVERAGE DURING THE MONTH OR SAY AN AVERAGE NIGHT EACH QUARTER. I MEAN, I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD. >> PIERCE: I THINK, YES, WE CAN DO THAT AND I THINK WE ARE OUTREACH PROVIDERS, THEY DO KNOW THAT, AS THEY ARE OUT THERE REFERRING SOMEBODY WHO WANTS A SHELTER BED, THEY KNOW IF THEY CALL ONE, THEY CALL BARRETT HOUSE AND BARRETT HOUSE DOESN'T HAVE THAT AVAILABILITY, THEY ARE WORKING THE SYSTEM, I MINE THAT FROM THE LOVE IN MY HEART, CALLING OTHER PROVIDERSNG TO SEE WHERE THEY CAN GET PLACEMENT. POINT WELL MADE AND WE CAN HAVE THAT INFORMATION BY CALLING OUR PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY. >> BENTON: YOUR ROUGH ESTIMATEOU WAS 1100. >> PIERCE: YES, COUNCILOR BENTON 1100. I THINK IT IS 1147 BEDS TO BE EXACT. 1100 EMERGENCY BEDSEX ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. >> Coun. Lewis: THAT IS KEY THERE, 1100 BEDS ARE AVAILABLE TONIGHT? I GUESS, THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY ARE BEING USED TONIGHT AND THEN AFTER TONIGHT IS OVER, HOW MANY DID WE HAVE THATVE WERE AVAILABLE THAT WEREN'T USED. I THINK THAT IS WHAT I AM -- DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> PIERCE: YES. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. SEEING NONE. >> Coun. Lewis: I MOVE APPROVAL OF WHATEVER THEis NEXT ITEM IS. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF MAY 2 JOURNAL. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT PASSES. MOVE TO COMMUNICATIONS AND INTRODUCTIONS.

COUNCILOR BASSAN. >> Councilor Bassan: ADJUSTING FUNDAS AND APPROPRIATIONS FOR OPERATING GOVERNMENT CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE APPROPRIATING CAPITAL FUND AND AUTHORIZING CHANGES. I MOVE A DO PASS. >> I THINK WE COVERED THIS MOSTLY IN THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. THIS IS CLEANING UP APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE ORIGINAL FIRST DRAW.M I WOULD URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> ANY DISCUSSION? >> WE DO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. >> BENTON: PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. >> MS. BEATTY: (NOT PRESENT). >> MOORE: THANK YOU. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE I SHOULD Y BE SPEAKING. I WAS CONFUSED FROM FRIDAY WHEN AGENDA CAME OUT. AS FARME AS INCREASING MONIES TOWARDS CAPITAL PRODUCTION OF HOUSING, I BELIEVE THIS IS WRITE SHOULD SPEAK. AGAIN, JUST LIKE I SAID IN GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT URGING YOUR SUPPORT BUT I WORK FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COALITION AND WE SUPPORT THE INCREASE OF ACCESS THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL RESIDENT IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. THE REPORT THAT I REFERENCED TALKS ABOUT IMPORTANCE OF INCREASING NOT ONLY PRODUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT MARKET RATE HOUSING TOO. WE BELIEVE PUTTING MONEY TOWARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION AS STIPULATED BY THIS BUDGET, 20 MILLION INCREASE, IS BENEFICIAL BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW RESIDENTS WHO CAN AFFORD ONLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO RENT THEM WHILE AT THE MOMENT THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE RENTING HOUSES IN ONE INCOME WHO COULD AFFORD A HIGHER INCOME CATEGORY. THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH HOUSES ACROSS THE BOARD. WE FIND THAT 80% OF THE HOUSES BUILT AT MARKET RATE ARE AFFORDABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH MODERATE INCOMES BUT LOW INCOME FAMILIES HAVE MARKET RATE HOUSING. BUILDING MORE MARKET RATE IS EX SEEM TEAMLY HELPFUL BUT WE STILL NEED TO INCEST PRODUCTION FOR EXTREMELY LOW INCOME REST DIDN'T OF OUR CITY. I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN. >> THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSS, COUNCILORS? SEEING NONE. WE'LL GOE. TO A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR OF A DO PASS ON R-21, SAY YES AND RAISE YOUR HAND. >> OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> Councilor Bassan: R-24. >> COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE R-24 IS APPROPRIATING FUNNELED FOR OPERATING THE GOVERNMENT OF THE CITY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 BEGINNING JULY 1, 2022 AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2023 ADJUSTING FISCAL YEAR 2022 APPROPRIATIONS AND APPROPRIATING CAPITAL FUND. I MOVE A DO PASS. >> THIS IS GOING TO BE IN MY CAREER OF CITY GOVERNMENT, 15TH OR 16TH BUDGET. I ALWAYS HAD A CUSTOM THAT BEFORE THE BUDGET GETS APPROVED, THAT I JUST, GIVE YOU ALL SOMETHING TO COOL OFF AND GET YOURSELVES IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND SO IF YOU ALL DON'T MIND I WOULD LIKE TO DISTRIBUTE SOMETHING FOR YOU ALL TO SNACK ON WHILE YOU ARE DELIBERATING THE BUDGET. >> RAEL: THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT. >> THANK YOU, I LOVE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES. WE DO HAVE AMENDMENT. WE DO HAVE PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. I DON'T KNOW IF COUNCILORS WOULD LIKE, MIGHT WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM BEFORE WE START WITH ANY AMENDMENTS, SO, MR. MOYA AND CALL THE FOLKS THAT SIGNED UP. >> FIRST SPEAKER WILL BE MS. WHITE. >> WHITE: (NOT PRESENT). >> MOORE: HELLO AGAIN. SPEAKING ABOUT HOUSING AND INCREASING BUDGET INCREASED BUDGET CONSIDERATION FOR THAT. THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING ON THURSDAY THERE WAS 10 MILLION ALLOCATED TOWARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUBSIDIES RECOMMENDED WITHIN A BUDGET. I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT THAT BE NOT CHANGED AND CONTINUED AS TALKED ABOUT AT THAT MEETING. IT IS REALLY THE MAIN POINT I HAD FOR THIS PART. THANK YOU AGAIN. >> SPEAKERS OVER ZOOM. FIRST IS RACHEL BIGGS. >> ABILITY GGS: WITH ALBUQUERQUE HEALTHCARE FOR THE HOMELESS. AS YOU KNOW IS EXPERIENCING A HOUSING CRISIS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND THAT ONLY EXACERBATED THESE ISSUES. TOO MANY FAMILY ^ S HAVE STRUGGLED TO REMAIN AND STABLY HOUSED DUE IN LARGE PART TO OUR SHORTAGE OF AFFORDABLE HOMES. AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS A MAIN DRIVE FOR PUBLIC -- INCREASING OR STABILIZING PROPERTY VALUES OVERTIME. LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS MAIN CAUSE OF HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING IS THE WAY TO END IT. INCREASED HOMELESSNESS IN ALBUQUERQUE WILL CONTINUE TO PLACE AIN GREATER BURDEN ON OUR CITY GOVERNMENT BUDGET AS CITY WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE MORE SERVICES. INVESTMENT IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS IN THE CITY'S BEST INTEREST TO ADDRESS THIS CRISIS AND ONE OF THE SMARTEST INVESTMENTS WE CAN MAKE WITH OUR RESOURCES. AS RENTS RISE HOMELESSNESS INCREASES AND AFOLLOWABLE HOUSES NEEDS ONLY GROWS. >> ONLY THROUGH A BINGES OF POLICY CHANGES AND ROBUST FUNDING CANOB OUR CITY RESOLVE THE CRISIS. WITH THIS IN MIND I URGE YOUR SUPPORT OF THE PROPOSED ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR RECURRING FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THESE RESOURCE ARE NEEDED AND PROVIDERS ARE ANXIOUS TO HAVE MORE RESOURCES TO HOUSE OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> I INTENDED TO SIGN UP TO SPEAK ON THE FREE FARES PORTION. I THINK I CLICKED ON THE WRONG TAB THERE. >> CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT BILL NUMBER YOU SIGNED UP FOR? >> THE REAUTHORIZATION OF FREE FARES. >> IT IS PART OF THE BUDGET BILL SO THIS IS THE CORRECT ITEM. YOU CAN PROCEED WITH YOUR COMMENTS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I AM THE POLITICAL DIRECTOR FOR NM NATIVE VOTE, I RODE THE BUS EVERYDAY FOR HIGH SCHOOL. I WOULD LEAVE MY HOUSE AT 6:40 AM TO ARRIVE DOWNTOWN FOR SCHOOL. >> I WOULD TAKE THE BUSES ALMOST EVERYDAY. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY I LIVED 6 AND A HALF OUR WALK AWAY FROM HOME BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALIZE THE BUSES DIDN'T RUN ON SUNDAYS AND MY HIGH SCHOOL HOSTED AN EVENT. I ASK YOU TO REAUTHORIZE THE ZERO FARES BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTY OF WAITING FOR FOR THE STORE TO ON TO BUY A SILVER PASS. >> I REMEMBER GOING TO MY GOOD FRIEND MALCOLM ASKING FOR HIS BUS MONEY BECAUSE HE LIVED WITHIN TWO MILES OF THE SCHOOL AND KINDLY VOLUNTEERED TO RUN HOME IF I NEEDED IT. I WANT TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE REAUTHORIZATION OF THE ZERO FARES BECAUSE AS A CITY WE HAVE BEEN DOING BETTER AND CAN CONTINUE TO DO BETTER FOR ALL THOSE IN NEEDS OF PUBLIC TRANSIT ESPECIALLY STUDENTS BECAUSE NOBODY DESERVES TO GO HUNGRY FOR THE COST OF A BUS RIDE OR BE STRESSED BY WHETHER OR NOT THE BUS DRIVER DECIDES THEY LOOK 18 YEARS OLD AND THEY WILL BE CHARGED. I WANT YGEOU TO URGE TO REAUTHORIZE FREE FARES FOR STUDENTS LIKE ME WHO FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS I HAVEN'T HAD TO WORRY ABOUT THIS. WES. NEED TO MOVE FORWARD AND NOT BACKWARDS. >> THANK YOU. >> NAVARRO: YES, GOOD EVENING. I DID NOT SEE A BUDGET ITEM IN R-2-24 FOR THE ZERO FARES PROGRAM TO HAVE FUNDING EXTENDED IN 2023 AS WAS REQUESTED BY MAYOR KELLER. I DID SEE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL'S BUDGET CALLS FOR TRANSFERRING MORE THAN 6.5 MILLION FROM THE TRANSIT DEPARTMENT TO THE GENERAL FUND SO TONIGHT I STRONGLY URGE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER TRANSFERRING LESS MONEY FROM TRANSIT IN ORDER TO EXTEND ZERO FARES PROGRAM AT LEAST THROUGH JUNE 30, 2023 AND THAT WOULD COST 1.5 MILLION. WE HAVE.5 PER CAPITA EXTREMELY HIGH RATE OF POVERTY IN OUR CITY, ZERO FARES IS A PROVEN EFFECTIVE ANTI-POVERTY PROGRAM. MANY PEOPLE CAN'T AFORWARD BUS TRANSPORTATION, SHOULDN'T THIS BEOU A RECURRING BUDGET ITEM GOING FORWARD, NAMELY THREE MILLION EACH YEAR EVERY YEAR, THANK YOU 7 FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >> Coun. Davis: DON'T GO ANYWHERE YET. I HAPPENED TO CATCH YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND ADVOCATING FOR THE PROGRAM. ZERO FARE PROGRAM IS FUNDED FORS THE REST OF THE YEAR IN THE BUDGET. IT IS NOT PART OF THE MARKUP BECAUSE WE LEFT IT ALONE THERE. THERE ARE SOME AMENDMENTS COMING TONIGHT (INAUDIBLE). THE MAYOR STILL SUPPORTS THE PILOT PROGRAM AND THIS COUNCIL MOVED THAT FORWARD. I HOPE WE WILL CONTINUE THAT THIS EVENING. I DID WANT TO CLARIFY. I SAW EMAIL AND TWITTER POSTS WITH FOLKS THAT WERE CONFUSED. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS TO KNOW WE DIDN'T TOUCH THE PROPOSAL. IT IS IMPORTANT TO LET FOLKS KNOW WE INTEND THAT TO CONTINUE. >> COULD I ASK A CLARIFICATION. I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNDED THROUGH DECEMBER DECEMBER 31 BO THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2022. MAYBE I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING P. >> Coun. Davis: WE'LL GET TO THAT DURING OUR BUDGET DISCUSSION. THANK YOU FOR THE ADVOCACY. >> THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: WE ARE BACK ON>> THE AMENDMENT. >> Councilor Bassan: MR. PRESI DENT, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 WHICH CAME DOWN BY REQUEST FROM ADMINISTRATION. I. THINK THAT IT WILL GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE NEED TO PRESENT SOME OF THE POTENTIAL OR DUPLICATIONS OR OMISSIONS AND HAVE A DISCUSSION NOW IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT IT ALSO INCLUDES SOMETHING I ALREADY HAD. I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ADMINISTRATION UP TO EXPLAIN THE AMENDMENT SINCE IT IS BY REQUEST AND THERE IS TECHNICAL EDITS ON THERE, IF THEY CAN HELP US OUT AND DECIPHER THAT. >> I THINK YOUR STAFF HANDED OUT BACK UP FOR THE AMENDMENT THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. SO, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING THE AMENDMENT DOES A FEW THINGS. IT CLEANS UP TECHNICAL ERRORS THAT WERE MADE ONLY BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOUR DELETING POSITIONS THAT PLANNING TO WHAT WE CALL SUBSIDIZED FUNDS AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE THE GENERAL FUND WHOLE FOR THOSE. ANOTHER PART OF THIS IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A VIEW SLEF POSITIONS FILLED THAT WERE ON THE VACANCY LIST AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL FUNDING SO THAT OUR AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE AT THE ENDS OF TODAY, HOPEFULLY, WILL BEL CLOSE TO THREE MILLION DOLLARS. WE ARE HOPING TO USE THAT NONRECURRING FUND BALANCE TO SHORE UP OUR RECURRING DEFICIT, MOSTLY AS A GESTURE FOR OUR BOND RATING AGENCIES KNOW WE ARE SAVING MONEY ON THE BOTTOM LINE, KNOWING THAT WE HAVE THAT RECURRING DEFICIT. THOSE TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENTS I SPOKE OF ARE ABOUT -- ADDS UP TO ABOUT 400,000. THE OTHER ITEMS I'LL START GOING THROUGH RELATE TO THE WORK SHEET IN FRONT OF YOU. I BELIEVE YOUR WORK SHEET ACTUALLY STARTS WITH THE USES. SO, STARTING WITH ANIMAL WELFARE THIS RESTORES 30,000 OF MUCH NEEDED PROMOTIONAL MONEY NONE RECURRING. IN ARTS AND CULTURE THEY WOULD ALSO RECEIVE 30,000 PROMOTIONAL MONEY ALONG WITH SOME VITAL SPONSORSHIPS THAT ARE BEING ADDED BACK. I ALSO WANT TO JUST BEFORE I GO ON ALSO NOTE THAT WHEN WE GET TO THE USES, JUST WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT THE ITEMS THAT THIS COUNCIL INCLUDED IN THE COMMITTEEUBSTITUTE BILL ARE STILLNTACT SO WE DIDN'T GRAB ANYTHING THAT THE COUNCIL HAD APPROVED PREVIOUSLY. DEPARTMENT FINANCE, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THE FUNDING BACK FORUR SENIOR BUYERS. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO HERE THAT ONE.G THIS AMENDMENT WOULD ADD TWO AFF TO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH FOR THE PROGRAM ALONG WITH SOME OPERATIONALONEY AND A PROGRAM DATA ANALYSTHAT IS IN THE WORKS TOET HIRED THROUGH TH NORMAL ENVIRONMENTALERVICES PROGRAM COUNITY SERVICES WOULD GAIN HALFA MILLION TO JUST ESTABLISH SOME SUPPORT POSITIONS.

WE RLLY -- COMMITTEE ANDMENT ONE FOR CLARIFICATIONAS THREE MILLION, ENDED UPCOMING FROM RISK TO COVERHAT WEHOUGHT WAS A DISCREPCY. SINCE THEN REALIZE THERE HAD WAS NO DISCREPANCY. >> THE ERROR WE MADE WASN'T AS LARGE AS THREE MILLION. IT WAS ONLY ABOUT HALF A MILLION. BUT, YES, YOUR RIG, THIS WOULD RESCIND THAT AMENDMENT YOU DISCUSSED AND BASICALLY BRING US TO MAYBE A CLEAN SLATEO WE CAN -- >> Councilor Bassan: SO, WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO TAKE THREE MILLION AND WE ALL AGREED LAST WEEK THAT WE WOULD MOVE THREE MILLION TO COVER THREE MILLION, BY RESCINDING IT WE ZERO THAT OUT YET AGAIN. YOU FISCAL PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE THAT I THINK OF THAT AS A NEGATIVE ZERO. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 1. >> Coun. Davis: I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND THEN A RECOMMENDATION FOR AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT, A TECHNICAL AMENDMENT. ON THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSED SOURCES, TAKING THREE MILLION FROM THE EDA DOWNTOWN VALLEY, SPACE VALLEY, WHATEVER WE CALL IT, WHICH IS PROPOSAL REQUIRED TO HAVE MATCHING FUND AT SOME POINT, EARLY WE WERE TOLD THAT NON-TOUCHABLE BECAUSE THAT WAS MINIMUM REQUIRED BY FEDERAL GROUND. HOW IS ADMINISTRATION JUSTIFYING THREES MILLION DOLLARS OUT OF RESERVE. >> RAEL: WHEN WE WERE PREPARING THE BUDGET BACK IN MARCH, WE HAD A PRETTY STRONG COMMITMENT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF.S COMMERCE TO THROUGH THEIR EDA PROGRAM THAT THE SPACE VALUE PROJECT WOULD REQUIRE A 15 MILLION MATCH, LOCAL MATCH FOR ABOUT 75 MILLIONS INVESTMENT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN DOWNTOWN. SINCE THEN THROUGH THE COURSE OF DISCUSSING IT WITH EDA, THAT MATCH NOW HAS COME DOWN TO ABOUT 11 TO 12 MILLION-DOLLARS BECAUSE THE EDA'S FUNDS HAVE BEEN RESTRUCTURED ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND SO WE DON'T QUITE HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF FUNDS FROM EDA, SO OUR MATCH I FROM BEEN REDUCED. SO, THESE FUNDS NOW, UNFORTUNATELY AFTER THREE MONTHS OF DELIBERATIONS ARE NOW APPROPRIATE TO BE USED FOR OTHER USES. >> Coun. Davis: THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND IT THAT APPRECIATE. WHAT ISAT THREE MILLION BETWEEN FRIENDS SO THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. THAT WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR APPROPRIATION IF APPROVED. I ALSO WANTED TO ASK QUESTION ABOUT BIKE TRAIL MAINTENANCE. WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE HERE. WE ARE PROPOSING TO REDUCE ONE TIME BIKE TRAIL. DO WE HAVE OTHER ONE TIME SOURCES LIKE THE TRANSIT TAX OR OTHERS THAT WE CAN USE THIS YEAR TO FILL THAT GAP AND WE DO HAVE COMMITMENT FROM THE ADMINISTRATION TO FINDING OTHER ONE TIME SOURCES OVER SUMMER SO WE DON'T COME UP SHORT ON THE PROJECTS. >> RAEL: YES. WE: CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT THE TRANSPORTATION TAX, ALSO WE MAY LOOK AT ADDITIONAL REVENUES COMING IN FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, ARPA FUNDS THAT COULD HELP US RESTORE THOSE. THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO MAKE THE PROGRAM WHOLE. >> Coun. Davis: I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT PROGRAM. WE PUSHEDRO FOR THAT. YOU PUSHED FOR THAT AND I WOULD LOVE TO ENSURE WE REVISIT THAT CONVERSATION PERHAPS DURING BREAK SO WE COULD FIND A WAY TO DO THAT BEFORE THE ENDS OF THE YEAR. WE STILL HAVE ENOUGH TO GET THE PROJECT STARTED ALL YEAR WE DON'T WANT TO FINISH -- OR GET TO THE LAST MILE AND NOT HAVE THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT. I WILL ASK FOR HELP. I WILL DO IT IN PLAIN ENGLISH AND HOPE HE CAN HELP. CONVERSATIONS WITH ADMINISTRATION THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL INITIALLY PROPOSED TO RESTORE SOME OF THE CANNABIS POSITIONS THAT COUNCIL HAD REJECTED AND SO MY FIRST AMENDMENT WOULD BE TO REDUCE THE 1 VERDE,000 FOR CANNABIS PROGRAM STAFF FOR TWO POSITIONS DOWN TO ONE, THAT WOULD BE A NET 87,000, IF I SPLIT IT IN HALF. SO, CANNABIS PROGRAM STAFF FROM 174 CUT TO 87. AND DELETE CANNABIS PROGRAM OPERATING WHICH IS RECURRING FUNDING. AND THEN WE WILL ADD BACK INTO THE POSITIONS USING RECURRING 190,000 INTO ANIMAL SERVICES FOR OUTREACH SERVICES WHICH ARE TWO RECURRING POSITIONS THATOS WERE PROPOSED BUT CUT. I HAVE A CUT OF 87 FROM CANNABIS PROGRAM STAFF, A CUT OF 268 FROM CANNABIS OPERATING AND ADDITION OF 190 INTO ANIMAL WELFARE RECURRING FOR OUTREACH. F CAN YOU MAKE THAT FOR ME? >> MY APOLOGIES. MY COLLEAGUE -- SHE IS SMARTER THAN ME. >> JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY, IT IS TWO POSITIONS THAT WERE REMOVED FROM ANIMAL WELFARE, ONE FOR ENGAGEMENT MANAGER OR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MANAGER AND OTHER IS FOR A FIELD SERVICES PROVIDER. SO THOSE WOULD BE ADDED BACK IN. >> Coun. Davis: CAN YOU CLARIFY AND ASK ADMINISTRATION FURROW KAY WITH THAT. >> TO THE ADDRESS THE ADDING OF ANIMAL POSITIONS THAT WE JUST DISCUSSED, IT WOULD BE ON NO. 5 IT WOULD STATE ON PAGE 2, LINE 16 ENTITLED ANIMAL CARE CENTER INCREASE AMOUNT BY 220,000, AND ADD 190,000 THAT WE90 ARE DISCUSSING HERE. TO ADDRESS CANNABIS SERVICES CHANGE IT WOULD BE LINE NO. 8 PAGE 3, LINE TWO, INSERT CANNABIS SERVICES IN AMOUNT OF 87,000 ON THAT ONE THERE. >> Coun. Davis: THANK YOU. TO CLARIFY ANIMAL WELFARE DOLLARS IS NONRECURRING AND NEW IS RECURRING FWE WE COULD CLARIFY THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ADMINISTRATION IF THEY HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THOSE QUESTIONS. >> RAEL: WE CONCUR WITH THE CHANGES. I HAD TALKED TO COUNCILOR ABOUT THIS AND WE DIDN'T QUITE GET ITE DONE SO WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING BACK AND GETTING IT DONE. >> Coun. Davis: WITH THAT I PROPOSE AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT. WE DO HAVE A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT TO AMENDMENT NO. 1? RAISE YOUR HANDS. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. BACK ON THE AMENDMENT. >> Councilor Bassan: MR. PRESI DENT, SO, I HAVE TO JUST SAY THAT DUE TO ALL THE WORK I PUT IN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE VOTING AGAINST MYSELF BY SORTING THIS. SO, I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND, HOWEVER, THE COUNCIL DECIDES FOR THAT REASON, I CAN'T SUPPORT IT BECAUSE -- WE WORKED HARD ON WHAT W I THOUGHT WAS GOOD SO, ANYWAY, I SORT OF URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: ALL RIGHT. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: THANK YOU. MY MATH WHICH IS ACTUALLY COUNCILOR DAVIS' MATH SHOWS WE HAVE 165,000 LEFT FROM THE LAST AMENDMENT THAT IS UNSPENT. SUPPORTING THE MOTION I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND TO MAKE THAT GO INTO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING VOUCHERS. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: WE ARE CURRENTLY AT NINE MILLION INSTEAD OF SEVEN MILLION ON THE VOUCHERS. >> YES, THAT IS CORRECT. AS IT EXIST IN THE THE COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE I BELIEVE IT WAS NINE MILLION. >> COUNCILOR BENTON. THAT WOULD INCLUDE REMAINDER OF THE MONEY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GOING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING LINE ITEM. >> THAT ALL MAKES SENSE. JUST PROCEDURALLY YOU VOTED ON AMENDMENT 1 TO AMENDMENT 1 AND SO IF IT IS -- >> COUNCILOR BENTON. THIS WOULD BE AMENDMENT 2 TO AMENDMENT NO. 1. WHICH WOULD PUT THAT REMAINING AMOUNT WHICH IS 165,000 INTO THAT LINE ITEM. >> COUNCILOR BENTON TO ADDRESS THAT CHANGE IT WOULD BE ON YOUR THIRD PAGE, LINE 37, WHERE IT READS ON PAGE 3, LINE 27 ENTITLED AFFORDING HOUSING DECREASEG AMOUNT BY SHOULD READ $135,000. THAT WOULD BE DECREASE OF 300,000 PLUS THE $165,000 THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING DECREASE IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS JUST MOVING AROUND SOME PROGRAM ITEMS. THEY WEREN'T REDUCING VOUCHERS JUST CLARIFYING SOME PROGRAMS FROM ONE PROGRAM TO ANOTHER. >> BENTON. THERE IS A MOST AND A SECOND TO THE PACKED SEEMED MEANT. >> ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDMENT NO. 1. ANYONE OPPOSED? THAT PASSES. SO NOW WE ARE BACK ON AMENDMENT NO. 1. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> Coun. Pena: BECAUSE THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE I AM VOTING ON. BY REQUEST FROM MAYOR'S OFFICE THERE O IS SOME TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THAT THERE IS NOT A LOT OF DIFFERENCES OTHER THAN WE MOVED RECURRING TO NON-REOCCURING, MAYBE THERE WAS SOME HICCUPS THERE. AND THEN, THERE WAS A REQUEST FROM ADMINISTRATION. THAT IS CORRECT? OKAY. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: ANY OTHER COMMENTS. >> Coun. Sanchez: THANK YOU. I JUST WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT MANAGER. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND THERE IS ANOTHER DEPUTY DIRECTOR OR ANOTHER DEPUTY COMMANDER BEING ADDED TO STAFF AND JUST SEEMS LIKE IT IS MORE LEADERS AND NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE DOING THE GROUNDS WORK HERE. COUNCILOR BENTON: ANYONE WANT TO ADDRESS THIS. >> THIS WAS ACTUALLY EXISTING POSITIONIN THAT VHAS BEEN VACANT OR SCHEDULED TO CUT AND WE ARE HADDING IT BACK. THIS POSITION IS IMPORTANT. IT RUNS OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM UPEE ON THE 11TH FLOOR AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING DATA RELATED TO THAT PROGRAM. THEY ARE LOOKING TO HERE A MANAGER AND FILL THAT POSITION SOON SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE ADDING IT OR REQUESTING IT BE ADDED BACK. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: THANK YOU. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? >> Coun. Sanchez: YES, KIND OF BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS SCHEDULED TO CUT ANYHOW AND NOW WE ARE READDING IT. THE WE MAKE ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO ELIMINATE THIS ONE? >> COUNCILOR BENTON: YOU MAKE THAT AMENDMENT TO AN AMENDMENT IFND YOU LIKE. IS THAT A MOTION? THIS WOULD BE THIRD AMENDMENT TO AMENDMENT NO. 1. >> Coun. Sanchez: AMENDMENT 3 TO AMENDMENT ONE. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: WHERE WOULD THAT BE DIRECTED TO. >> (INAUDIBLE). >> TO MAKE THAT CHANGE IT WOULD BE ITEM NO. 15 ON YOUR SECOND PAGE AT THE TOP ON PAGE 5, LINE 4, ENTITLED MAYOR'S OFFICE THAT LINE WOULD JUST BE ELIMINATED SINCE WE WOULDN'T BE INCLUDING THAT AS PART OF THIS AMENDMENT. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: WOULD THE MOTION BE THIS WOULD GO INTO THE BALANCE? OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND FOR THAT MOTION? THERE IS A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? >> Coun. Grout: COULD YOU TELL ME WHEN WOULD YOU EXPECT TO BE FILLING THIS POSITION? WHEN WAS IT CUT, WHY WASN'T IT FILLED. >> YES, MR. PRESIDENT AND COUNCILOR THIS POSITION HAS BEEN VACANT MOST OF THIS PAST YEAR. I AM NOT THE DIRECT SUPERVISOR OF THIS POSITION BUT I AM TOLD THEY ARE READY TO ADVERTISE THATTI POSITION AND START DOING INTERVIEWS. I AM UNSURE ABOUT THE TIME LINE. >> RAEL: IF I MIGHT ADD THE REASON THIS POSITION HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE, ONE IS OBVIOUSLY CODE COVID. LET ME REMIND THE COUNCIL ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS. THIS IS A VOLUNTEER MANAGER THAT SUPPORTS ALL THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS ACROSS THE CITY. AND ARGUES CITIZENS TO HELP -- ORGANIZES CITIZENS TO HELP SUPPORT ALL ACTIVITIES, WHETHER IT IS PROGRAMS TO HELP AT ANIMAL WITH THEM FAIR IN THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM OR WHETHER IT IS SUPPORTING COMMUNITY EVENTS WHERE WE HAVE CITIZENS WHO WANT TO BASICALLY DONATE THEIR TIME AND EFFORT. THEY WORK A LOT WITH SENIORS, IN PARTICULAR. IT REALLY IS A VERY CRITICAL FUNCTION IN THAT WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND SUPPORT FOR THE CITY'S EVENTS AND PROGRAMS WITHOUT HAVING TO GO OUT AND HERE MORE PEOPLE, RIGHT. SO, THIS IS A REALLY CREATE AL POSITION AND SECONDLY WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LONG STANDING, IF YOU WILL, I THINK, AGREEMENT THAT WE DON'T CUT THE COUNCIL'S BUDGET AND THE COUNCIL DOESN'T CUT THE MAYOR'S BUDGET AND THIS IS IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND IS A CRITICAL POSITION AND THAT BEING SAID, IT REALLY DOES HELP CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS WHO WANT TO VOLUNTEER TO SUPPORT THE CITY. >> Coun. Grout: WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO HAVE THE POSITION FILLED. >> RAEL: I JUST WAS INFORMED IT WAS ONLY VACANT SINCE MARCH. I STAND CORRECTS. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS POSITION FILLED THE FIRST QUARTER SINCE A LOT OF OUR PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES HAPPEN IN THE MONTH BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. >> Coun. Grout: WHEN YOU GET HIM OR HER, I WOULD LOVE TO MEET THEM. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: I JUST WANTED TO SAY, YOU KNOW, AS ADVOCATE UNTIL JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT THAT COMES FROMME THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. THIS IICS AN IMPORTANT POSITION. THERE IS A LOT OF NONPROFIT GROUPS, A LOT OF CIVIC GROUPS THAT REALLY DO WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN CITY GOVERNMENT AND WANT TO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD AND THIS V IS A REALLY IMPORTANT POSITION TO ALLOW THAT KIND OF COMMUNITY INPUT SO, I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT. BUT, I JUST WANTED TO SAY, CLEARLY, THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. >> RAEL: I MIGHT ADD A POINT BECAUSE MY GOOD FRIEND COUNCILOR SANCHEZ KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. THIS INDIVIDUAL AND THIS PROGRAM WILL ALSO SUPPORT AND COORDINATE THE VOLUNTEERS -- WELL, ON THE TRAFFIC CITATIONS FOR FOLKS WOULD NOT PAY THE FEE BUT WOULD PROVIDE PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS THE INDIVIDUAL THAT HELPED COORDINATE THAT PROGRAM AS WELL. SO, IT IS VOLUNTEER ADVOCATE BUT ALSO I WAS JUST INFORMED WILLME BE THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WILL HELP FOLKS DO COMMUNITY SERVICE. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. COUNCILOR SANCHEZ, DO YOU HAVE MORE. >> Coun. Sanchez: ONE MORE COMMENT. I WAS UNDER IMPRESSION THIS HAD BEEN VACANT FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THAT WE WERE JUST GOING TO FILL IT NOW. IT IS NOT UP TO ME WHEN WE FIRST STARTED HEARING ABOUT IT, YOU IN WAS A VACANCY THAT HAD HAD NOT BEEN FILLED FOR QUITE SOME TIME, SO, I WOULD LIKEOU TO GO AHEAD AND RESCIND MY MOTION. >> AMENDMENT NO. 1 IS WITHDRAWN. SO, WE WILL BE BACK ON THE AMENDMENT NO. 1. >> Councilor Bassan: THANK YOU. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: THIS IS JUST AMENDMENT TO ONE AMENDMENT TO OUR BILL. THERE IS A MOTION AND SECOND FOR AMENDMENT NO. 1. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND? OPPOSED? AND? THAT PASSES ON A 6-2 VOTE WITH COUNCILOR LEWIS EXCUSED. SO, WE ARE BACK ON THE BILL. >> Coun. Jones: THANK YOU. I HAVE JUST A TYPO REPAIR THAT I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BRING FORWARD. THIS IS FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO MAKE IT TO R-22-24 AND CHANGES SPELLING OF SOMETHING WHICH SEEMED IMPORTANT TO OUR STAFF. SO, ON THE LIST HERE IT IS ON THE LIST OF NON-REOCCURING ITEMS FOR THE ITEM FOR HYDROLOGY, DELETE THE WORD HYDROLOGY. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: IS THERE A SECOND? >> Coun. Jones: THAT WAS IT. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: THREAT THE DELETE THE WORD HYDROLOGY. >> Coun. Jones: THIS IS AMENDMENT NO. 2. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: NORMALLY THESE AMENDMENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BY RULE ON THE DIAS BEFORE WE START BUT SINCE THIS IS A CORRECTION, I THINK, IT IS FINE. APOLOGIES. IT IS NO. 2. >> Coun. Jones: IT IS LABELED C. WE'LL GO BACK TO B. AMENDMENT NO. 2, MOTION AND SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? IS THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE'LL GO BACK TO FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 3. AND THAT IS LABELED B. >> Councilor Bassan: THANK YOU. SORRY FORss THE CONFUSION. THIS IS AMENDMENT NO. 3AKAB IN OUR PACKET IF I AM CORRECT. IN SECTION 1, PAGE 1, LINE 18 INCREASE RESERVE BY 698,000. IN SECTION ONE DELETE LANGUAGE. DO WE NEED TO DO THIS? I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT DUPLICATIVE WITH THE OTHER. SECTION 1 DELETE LANGUAGE ON PAGE 2 STARTING ON LINE 5 WITH AMOUNT OF 9.3 MILLION IS RESERVED FOR ADDITIONAL 3% OF COSTS OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS BYI OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET USING ATTACHED TABLE INCREASE PROGRAM APPROPRIATIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL ON AMENDMENT NO. 3 APPROPRIATING FUNDING THAT WE AGREED ON FOR THE 3% KOLA INCREASE DURING THE COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE ON COW SO NOW IT GOES TO THE PROPER HOME IF WE PASS THIS. >> BENTON: ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, WE'LL GO TO A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT. GO TO FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 4. WHICH IS LABELED D IN YOUR PACKET. >> Coun. Grout: MR. PRESIDENT, ON PAGE M 3, LINE 27 ENTITLED AFFORDABLE HOUSING REDUCE AMOUNT BY 1.5 MILLION. THIS AMENDMENT REMOVES THE AMOUNT IN FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DESIGNATED FOR CHUTE PROJECT SHELTER PROJECT. IT IS THE COUNCIL'S INTENT TO APPROPRIATE 1.5 MILLION FROM THE SECOND OFM THE ARPAS MONEY. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> BENTON: THERE IS A SECOND FROM COUNCILOR. COUNCILOR BASSAN. >> Councilor Bassan: I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ADMINISTRATION AND OR OUR STAFF AND I THINK BET WOULD BE GOOD TO HEAR FROM IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING ARPA FUNDING HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED YET SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING -- I MEAN -- ON THE SURFACE IT MAKES SENSE TO ME COUNCILOR, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IF WE ARE APPROPRIATING SOMETHING WE NEVER RECEIVED, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR US. >> COUNCILOR MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE SECOND HAVE NOT YET BEEN APPROPRIATED. WE SHOULD RECEIVE THOSE FUNDS AROUND APRIL OF THIS YEAR. WE'LL NEED CONFIRMATION FROM ADMINISTRATION BUT THIS IS JUST COMMUNICATING THAT ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RECEIVED THE MONEY, WE STILL NEED TO APPROPRIATE IT. >> Councilor Bassan: SO, IF WE WERE TO HAVE THIS AND WE ARE REDUCING THAT LINE ITEM, IS THERE ANOTHER ONE COMING UP THAT APPROPRIATES THIS TO ARPAOR IS THIS SAYING IT IS INTENT. OKAY. I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. IS INTENT OF THAT RATHER THAN A PROMISE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: THIS DOESNC NOT REDUCE THE RECURRING VOUCHER. >> ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND FOR FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 4. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT PASSES. >> Coun. Grout: MR. PRESIDENT, AMENDMENT NO. 5, ON PAGE 3, LINE 15 ENTITLED COUNCIL SERVICES, INCREASE AMOUNT BY 32,000. THIS AMENDMENT ADDS 32,000 TO COUNCIL SERVICES FOR THE PURPOSE OF COUNCIL SPONSORED INITIATIVES AND THEY ARE LISTED BELOW. BENTON. MOTIONBE AND SECOND FROM COUNCILOR DAVIS IS.

DO WE NEED TO -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE ALL THE T'S ARE CROSSED AND I'S ARE DOTTED. >> YES THIS IS ADDING 32,000 TO THE COUNCIL BUDGET FOR THESE THREE SPONSOR SHIPS AND BASES ODDS COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE PASSES, NOW THESE AMENDMENTS WE HAVE PASSED, WE DO HAVE ROOM TO FUND THESE ITEMS. >> Councilor Bassan: WE ARE TAKING FROM WHAT WAS LEFT OVER IN THE NONRECURRING FUNDS. >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> COUNCILOR BENTON. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 5? OPPOSED? THAT PASSES. MOVED TOS. FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 6. >> Councilor Bassan: MR.

WE ALWAYS JUST WANT TO BE SURE WE ARE CLEAR THAT WE ARE FUNDING (INAUDIBLE). THAT IS A QUESTION FOR THE SPONSOR, I BELIEVE. >> BENTON: QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER IT IS RELIGIOUS -- >> Coun. Lewis: JUST TRYING TO UNDER STAND THE QUESTION BUT THIS IS AN ORGANIZATION FUNDED BEFORE. >> MR. PRESIDENT, I HAVE A QUESTION ON THIS AMENDMENT. THE LINE SAYS THAT YOU'RE INCREASING IT BY 32,000 BUT THE PROGRAMS ADD UP TO 40,000. I JUST WANTED TO SEE ABOUT A CORRECT NUMBER. >> THE AMOUNT. SHOULD BE 4 0,000. I BELIEVE THE FIRST WAS A TYPO. SHOULD BE 40,000 TOTAL. >> BENTON: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. >> Coun. Davis: I AM SATISFIED IF THE CITY HAS DONE THIS BEFORE AND I KNOW PURCHASING DEPARTMENT WOULD CRAFT IT CORRECTLY.

YOU MAY RE WE HAD LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO LOVEDDED THIS POLLINATORIS PROGRAM BUT IT IS FULLY FUNDED AND THIS ALLOCATES TO THE ASIAN FAMILIES CENTER THAT WAS LEFT OUT OF THE PROGRAM THIS YEAR. >> BENTON: MOTION AND SECOND FOR FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 9. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> Coun. Pena: JUST CLARIFICATION. THIS IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT I HAD REQUESTED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS IN THERE. I MEAN IF YOU ADD MORE -- THERE IS A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER IT WAS ALREADY IN THERE. >> WHEN WE LOOKED AT SPONSORSHIPS THAT WERE CUT AND REFUNDED IT LOOKS LIKE A SPONSORSHIP FOR FOUR,000 FOR NEW MEXICO AGING FAMILY CENTER WAS SHOWN AS BEING REDUCED BY 4,000. SO, THIS THEN FUNDS THE PROGRAM BACK UP TO 30,000. >> Coun. Pena: MY INTENTION WHEN I SUBMITTED IT WAS FOR THE FULL AMOUNT THAT WAS IN THERE. OUR COMMITTEE HAS MORE INFORMATION. >> Councilor Bassan: MR. PRESI DENT, THIS IS ONE OF THE SEVERAL THAT GOT MISSED SO, YOUR REQUEST WAS TO PUT IN THE TWO DIFFERENT SPONSORSHIPS AND ONE OF THEM DID GET IN. I WAS NOT INTENTIONAL TO LEAVE IT OUT BUT THIS WOULD BE NEED TO BE IN THERE PER YOUR REQUEST AND COUNCILOR DAVIS'. >> Coun. Davis: THANK YOU MADAM. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY NAME ADDED TO THE AMENDMENT. >> BENTON: I AM SURE THAT CAN BE DONE. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THATUS WAS NO. 10. THAT WAS 9. THIS IS NO. 10. >> Coun. Davis: MR. PRESIDENT FLOORav AMENDMENT NO. 10 TRANSFERS 450,000 FROM RISK MANAGEMENT TO GENERAL FUND. ON PAGE 5 LINE 12EN TITLED STRATEGIC REPORT INCREASES AMOUNT BY 450,000. THIS WOULD FULLY FUND FOR DISPATCH OPERATIONS. REQUEST WAS FOR EIGHT POSITIONS AND REDUCING WRISTING MANAGEMENTS. I WOULD ASKUC FOR A SECOND AND IF DEPARTMENT WOULD WEIGH IN. WE ARE TRYING TO GETAWAY TO FUND THAT CRITICAL SERVICE. >> BENTON: MOTION AND SECOND FOR FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 10. ANY DISCUSSION? >> RAEL: WE SUPPORTN THE AMENDMENT. I THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE TO COORDINATE THE RESPONSE TIME FROM SECURITY FOLKS AS IT RELATES TO ISSUES WITHIN TRANSIT AND OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT REQUIRE THEM. BENTON. >> Coun. Davis: I APPRECIATE THE ADMINISTRATION'S SUPPORT ON THIS. I HOPE WE CAN RETURN ANYTHING -- >> I AM WONDERING IF YOU MIGHT BE WILLING TO CHANGE THE FIRST LINE OF THIS LANGUAGE. WE WOULD PREFER THAT INSTEAD OF MAKING A TRANSFER THROUGH RISK MANAGEMENT FUND THAT YOU REDUCE HUMAN RESOURCES PERSONNEL SERVICES LINE BY THIS AMOUNT. THAT WOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF RISK RECOVERY. (INAUDIBLE). >> Coun. Davis: SO, YEAH. (INAUDIBLE). >> BENTON: A TECHNICAL CHANGE THERE. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 10? OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 11. >> Coun. Pena: ON PAGE 6 ENTITLED ONE-STOP SHOP DECREASE AMOUNT FROM 485,000. PAGE TWO, LINE AFTER BUDGET, INSERT FOLLOWING, AMOUNT OF 4 45,000 HEREBY RESERVE $FOR ADDITIONAL WAGE INCREASES TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS BY THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET. THIS REDUCES FUNDING ISSUE PAPER REQUEST OF 10 POSITIONS DOWN TO FIVE AND ALSO SETS ASIDE RESERVE IN ADDITIONAL INCREASES FOR 911 OPERATORS AND THE LIST IS WHAT I READ PREVIOUSLY. IAD HAD A QUESTION RELATED TO THIS BECAUSE HEARING THE AMENDMENT FROM THE ADMINISTRATION, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOU DID ALREADY REDUCE THE ONE-STOP SHOP MONEY. SO, I WOULD STILL LOVE TO MOVE THIS BUT IF IS THERE ANY OTHER SUGGESTED FUND THAT WE CAN REDUCE IT FROM. I CAUGHT THAT WHEN YOU WERE READING -- >> RAEL: MAYBE THE APPROPRIATE THING WOULD BE GOING BACK TO -- IF WE COULD JUST REDUCE THIS FROM THE RISK FUND THEN THAT WAY IT DOESN'T IMPACT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. (INAUDIBLE). >> Coun. Pena: OKAY. WOULD SUPPORT THAT. >> MR. PRESIDENT, IF I UNDERSTOOD THAT CRACKLY IT WOULD BE TO MAKE AMENDMENT 10, THE WAY IT WAS PROPOSED. SO, COUNCILLOR PENA YEAH VOTED FOR THAT AMENDMENT SO SHE CAN MOVE TO RECONSIDERING THAT AMENDMENT 10 AND YOU COULD COME BACK TO AMENDMENT 11 AND DO ADMINISTRATION HAS -- (INAUDIBLE). >> BENTON: WE NEED TO GO BACK TO RECONSIDERATION OF 10? >> CORRECT. >> I THINK THERE MIGHT BE A MISUNDERSTANDING. I BELIEVE COUNCILOR PENA WOULD RATHER HIT PERSONNEL SERVICES LINE ON ITEM 1. >> Coun. Pena: YES. >> I THINK THAT IS WHAT SHE WAS REFERRING TO. >> Coun. Pena: YES, THAT IS CORRECT. >> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE HR FUND AND I THOUGHT I HEARD AMENDMENT 10 REFERENCES SO IF YOU CAN REARTICULATE WHERE THAT WOULD COME FROM SO WE CAN GET IT INTO OUR AMENDMENT. >> YES, SO, I AM ASKING THAT YOU CONSIDER AMENDING ITEM 1 ON FLOOR AMENDMENT 11 INSTEAD OF SAYING ENTITLED ONE-STOP SHOP DECREASE BY 485, LINE AND TITLE PERSONNEL SERVICES AND I CAN WORK WITH -- >> IT WOULD BE PAGE 4, LINE 32, ENTITLED PERSONAL SERVICES. >> BENTON: NO. 1 UNDER AMENDMENT NO. 11 WOULD CHANGE TO READ PAGE 4 LINE 32 PERSONNEL SERVICES. >> THAT IS CORRECT. BENTON: SAME AMOUNT? >> Councilor Bassan: I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY AS WELL LINE 1 IT SAYS 485,000. TWO SUBSECTION AS 4 45,000. WHICH ONE IS IT? >> MR. PRESIDENT 485,000 REPRESENTS THE REDUCTION OF FIVE POSITIONS IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. SO IF IT IS DESIRE OF THE COUNCIL WE COULD MATCH IT TO BE 4 45,000. SO THAT IT IS EQUAL. >> Councilor Bassan: THANK YOU. I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO TIGHTEN THE BELT A LITTLE BIT. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GIVE MORE WAGES BUT AT THE SAME TIME IF 445 IS WHAT WE NEED AND WE ARE NOT NECESSARILY TAKING FIVE POSITIONS AWAY FOR THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT, IF WE TAKE 4 45,000 FROM PERSONNEL SERVICES, IT WOULD BE MORE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WITH THAT. BENTON: THAT FIRST LINE FIGURE IS 4 45,000 NOT 4 85,000. EVERYTHING ELSE REMAINS THE SAME. THIS IS FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 11. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT PASSES. NEXT AMENDMENT IS LABELED L, NO. 12. PAGE 3, AFTER LINE 28 ENTITLED AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCREASE AMOUNT BY $825,000 AFTER LINE 28 ADD THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE. 14,825 AMOUNT APPROPRIATED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSESPP FOR VOUCHERS. PAGE 4, LINE 17, EMERGENCY RESPONSE FIELD OP, REDUCE AMOUNT BY 825,000. COUNCILORS EXPLANATION ON THIS, WE DID DISCUSS BRIEFLY AT COW MEETING. THIS PROPOSES TO ADD 825,000 TO FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO FUND A TOTAL OF 14,825,000 IN VOUCHERS. WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE 135,000 I BELIEVE IT WAS OR THEREABOUTS FROM THE ANIMAL AMENDMENT. THAT COUNCILOREN JUST HAD. YOU IT GETS US CLOSE TO THE GOAL OF 10 MILLION. ADDITIONAL 825,000 WOULD BE FUNDEDE THROUGH REDUCTION TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S PERSONNEL BUDGET SINCE IT IS PREMATURE DUE TO NEGOTIATIONS FOR THIS CONTRACT AND OTHER UNION CONTRACTS NOT HAVING BEEN COMMENCED OR AT LEAST BARELY GETTING OFF THE GROUND. IS THERE A SECOND? >> Coun. Davis: SECOND. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: I DON'T KNOW THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO DO THIS BUT WE DO -- BY MY COUNT TONIGHT IN NONRECURRING FUNDS I HAVE COUNTED UP 1.75 MILLION THAT HAS BEEN FREED UP AND I WOULD LIKE TO PUT THAT INTO AFFORDABLE HOURSING VOUCHERS AS WELL. I KNOW THAT IS NONRECURRING BUT I WOULD LIKE TO USE THAT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS WELL. >> BENTON: COULD THAT BE ADDED TO THIS OR ANY OTHER AMENDMENT THAT WE HAVEN'T HEARD YET, IF ANY? DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE HAVING TO DO WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WAS THAT NONRECURRING COUNCILOR THAT IS THE NEXT AMENDMENT. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: YES, THAT IS ALSO NON-OCCURRING. IF THAT WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE, I AM HAPPEN WRITE TO DO IT THERE. I WASN'T SURE WHERE IT SHOULD GO. >> BENTON: COUNCILORS DIFFERENT BETWEEN NONRECURRING MONEY FOR THESE AFFORDABLE HOUSING VOUCHERS AND RECURRING SOURCEUR IS ABILITY TO PLAN AND THE ABILITY FOR PROVIDERS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO KNOW THESE ARE AVAILABLE. THAT IS REASON FOR THE RECURRING NEED. GIVEN THIS CONTRACT HAS NOT HAD ANY NEGOTIATION YET I THINK IT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE TO APPROPRIATE FUNDING FOR A SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT. >> Coun. Grout: WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GET MONEY FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHEN THEY DO HAVE A CONTRACT. >> WE HAD PRETTY ROSY PROJECTIONS AS TO REVENUE. >> RAEL: I COULD NOT HEAR -- >> KNOW THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL HAVE A CONTRACT ONE OF THESE DAYS. WHERE WILL WE GET ADDITIONAL FUNDS FORIT THEM IF WE SPEND IT HERE. >> RAEL: MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, AS WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT AND I BELIEVE COUNCILOR LEWIS BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP AND THAT IS THAT THE COUNCIL, TOOK A NUMBER AS IT RELATES TO FUNDS FOR SALARY INCREASES, ET CETERA, AND THEN WE GO TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH EACH OF THE UNIONS FOR THAT AMOUNT. IF THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT THAT IS NECESSARY TO SETTLE A CONTRACT IF YOU WILL, WE GO TO THE GUIDELINES COMMITTEE AND GUIDELINES COMMITTEE GIVES US DIRECTION AND ULTIMATELY IT COMES BACK TO THE COUNCIL WHETHER IT GOES BACK INTO THE BASE ON THE BUDGET FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND WE USE SALARY SAVINGS, PERHAPS, TO, IF YOU WILL, CLOSE THE GAP ON WHATEVER IS NEGOTIATED. OR WE COME TO THE COUNCIL FOR APPROPRIATION. BUT THIS HAPPENS IN THE PROCESS OF THE NEGOTIATIONS AND THAT IS, I THINK, WHAT COUNCILOR BENTON IS SAYING IS THAT BY PUTTING THE FUNDS UP FRONT, THE NEGOTIATIONS AREN'T GOING TOIA HAPPEN, IF YOU WILL, IN THE, SAME FASHION AS THEY NORMALLY DO. THE IDEA IS TO -- ASIDE FROM WHERE THE MONEY GOES, TO BASICALLY HAVE ADMINISTRATION GO BACK TOMI THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH EACH OF THE UNION GROUPS, REACH AN AGREEMENT AND THEN IF IT IS NOT WITHIN THE BUDGET THAT THE COUNCIL HAS APPROPRIATED, YOU COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR ADJUSTMENT OR WE WORK THROUGH IT IN THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND MOVE IT TO THE BASE THE FOLLOWING YEAR. >> Coun. Lewis: IF THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE DEPARTMENT MAY NOT HAVE WHAT IT NEEDS IF WE DON'T DO THIS IN THEIR NEGOTIATIONS THEN I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THIS MAY ACTUALLY HURT THEM IF YOU'RE PULLING FOR THAT AND, I MEAN, SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY HURT THE PROCESS AND HURT A THEIR ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE EVEN MORE OR NEGOTIATE THE RIGHT PRICE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. >> Coun. Davis: LET ME AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES ON MY LEFT. I WANT TO SAY TO FIREFIGHTERS, IT IS NOT OUR JOB TO NEGOTIATE THIS BUT I THINK WE HAVE SHOWN STRONG SUPPORT FOR FIRST RESPONDERS EVERY TIME THEY COME UP BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, INT THINK WE HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM BOTH HR, AFR AND IFF, THAT THERE ARE SOME VERY UNIQUE THINGS LIKE PARAMEDIC RETENTION. THERE ARE SPECIALTY RETENTIONS, RECRUITING ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED THAT,SS I THINK, IT WOULD COMPROMISE MOST NEGOTIATIONS AND LIMIT THOSE OPPORTUNITIES IF WE ACROSS THE BOARD JUST SAID HERE IS WHAT WE ARE SETTING ASIDE. IT SETS A FRAMEWORK HARD TO GET OUT FOR NEGOTIATORS. I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS COUNCIL WILL SUPPORT BUT THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED SO I AM SUPPORTING THIS BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THOSE ADDRESSED AS WELL. I THINK TWO SIDES CAN DO THAT WELL IN AGREEMENT THAT WILL WORK OUT BENEFICIALLY FOR ALL OUR MEMBERS. I WILL WILL SUPPORT THIS FOR THAT REASON. >> Councilor Bassan: WHILE I UNDERSTAND AND IN-AUDITS, I HOPE THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND I AM GOING TO DEFER TO EARLIER COMMENT ON THE WORK AND EVERYTHING THAT I PUT INTO IT IN VOTING NO AGAINST MYSELF, SO, FOR THAT REASON, I WON'T BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS BUT I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL OF THE COUNCILORS HAVE SAID AND I CAN RELATE. >> Coun. Davis: ONE MORE REPRESENTED THING. I WANT TO ASK STAFF AGAIN EVERYBODY IS DOING THEIR OWN MATH AND WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE USING THE SAME CALCULATOR. 14,825,000 AND LANGUAGE INCLUDES THAT IS RESERVED FOR HOUSING VOUCHERS. THAT IS SIGNIFICANT FROM CURRENT INVESTMENT. THAT IS 14990ISH WHICH IN GOVERNMENT THAT IS GOOD GROUNDING FOR 15 MILLION. THIS WOULD HELP US TO FUND 15 MILLION FOR HOUSING VOUCHERS AND HOUSING PROGRAMS. >> YES THAT IS MY BACK OF THE NAPKIN MATH IS ABOUT THE SAME ON THAT. >> THAT HAS BEEN. A NUMBER THAT MANY PROVIDERS SAID WOULD BE A GOOD GROUND FLOOR AND I GOOD EARLY ACTION (INAUDIBLE) SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PLAN FOR. I DO SUPPORT THE FIREFIGHTERS AND THEIR NEGOTIATIONS BUT I THINK THIS IS A BIT PREMATURE. ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS? >> MOVEDN AND SECONDED. THIS WILL BE FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 12, CORRECT? SO, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? AND THAT PASSES ON A 5-4. THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE ONTO COUNCILOR FOR FLOOR AMENDMENT NO. 13. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: I MOVE FLOOR AMENDMENT NOMINATORS 13 WHICH SAYS PAGE 3, LINE 27 ENTITLED AFFORDABLE HOUSING REDUCE AMOUNT BY 500,000 AND PAGE 3 LINE 33 ENTITLED HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES INCREASE AMOUNT BY 250,000. THIS IS COUNCIL DIRECTED SPONSORSHIPS THAT I HAD PUT IN. WE DO INTO THE NOT NEED THE 500K FOR FAMILY, WE WILL GET THOSE FUND ELSEWHERE. I AM ADDING IN HALF OF THAT FOR COUNCIL DIRECTED SPONSORSHIP TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF NEW MEXICO. >> BENTON: ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED?? THAT PASSES ON 7-2 VOTE. 6-3. I I'LL CORRECT MYSELF. WITH COUNCILORS SANCHEZ, JONES AND GROUT OPPOSED. THAT ENDS THAT PACKET. >> AND I BELIEVE THAT GETS US BACK TO THE BILL. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE BILL AS AMENDED? WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. >> Councilor Bassan: MR. PRESI DENT STAFF COUNCILORS ADMINISTRATION CITY DEPARTMENTS, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND YOUR COOPERATION AND YOUR HARD WORK AND YOUR COMMUNICATION. THIS HAS BEEN QUITE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. IIN THINK THAT I SAW ANOTHER COUNCILOR HAS SOMETHING TO SAY BUT IF NOT I CAN CLOSE WHEN YOUR READY. >> Coun. Pena: I AM TRYING TO GET OBJECTIVES IN AND THEY AREN'T WANTING TO GET IN THIS YEAR. >> BENTON: THAT IS NEXT AGENDA ITEM. >> Councilor Bassan: I REALLY TRIED. I SUCCEEDED IN SOME WAYS I THINK AND FAILED IN SOME WAYS AND THAT IS PART OF GROWTH, SO, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH, AGAIN, I TRULY AM GOING TO LOOK FORWARD THE THIS PASSING AND I URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> BENTON: THANK YOU FOR THAT CLOSE. MOVED AND SECONDED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, YES AND RAISE YOUR HAND? OPPOSED? AND THAT PASSES ON 8-1 VOTE. COUNCILORS WE'LL TAKE A BREAK FOR DINNER. AND WE'LL BE BACK IN HALF AN OUR.

SO, THIS ALLOWS FOR A ONE YEAR INSTEAD OFAR SIX MONTHS.

SO, ANY DISCUSSION? ON THE MRA. THIS STARTED UNDER COUNCILOR GIBSON AND SHE RECOGNIZED SOMETHING ANYONE THAT HAS DRIVEN ON THIS SEGMENT, IT HAS STRUGGLED. IT IN A DOWN SWING NOW AND I WAS AFFECTED I THINK GREATLY I SAID THIS BEFORE, BUT GREATLY AFFECTED BY SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE BY THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT WHEN THE BIG I WAS REBUILT. SO IT WENT FROM BEING A FAIRLY VIBRANT STRIP TO JUST A CHALLENGED AREA. STILL A LOT OF GOOD POTENTIAL THERE AND STILL REALLY IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY, MAYBE LESSEESY TO GET OFF THE FREE TO GET TO BUT OTHERWISE A PLACE WITH GREAT POTENTIAL AND IT STILL HAS IMPORTANT SERVICES. THAT IS MY PITCH ON IT. >> Coun. Fiebelkorn: I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY WE NEED TO VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT FIRST. I WOULD URGE YOUR SUPPORT.

Sanchez: THANK YOU. JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I HOPE THESE FUNDS ARE BEING USED FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING OPIOID ABUSE AND NOT TO BE IN THE PROCESS OF FILLING UNREPRESENTED POSITIONS.RE I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT WE GET THE TREATMENT FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ACTUALLY NEED IT. >> Coun. Davis: VERY BRIEFLY, IFLY SPONSOR HAPPENS TO REMEMBER LEGAL HAPPENS TO KNOW SPONSOR AND I WORKED ON LEGISLATION TO GET THIS STARTED. WONDER IF WE RECALL HOW MUCH WE SPENT ON LEGAL FEES FOR OUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS OR WAS THIS ONE OF THE FIRMS THAT COLLECTS FOR THE SETTLEMENT FANYBODY REMEMBERS. MADAM SPONSOR AND LEGAL IF THEY REMEMBER. IT JUSTRE HITS ME IT SEEMS TO BE A DROP IN THE BUCKET COMPARED TO THE AFFECT IT HAS HAD. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE SPONSOR AND MOVING THIS FORWARD BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF WORK FOR A RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY OVER 18 YEARS, I WONDER IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW MUCH WE PARTICIPATED. >> EXACTLY. MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR DAVIS, BECAUSE I WAS NOT HERE, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT AMOUNT. IT IS AN AMOUNT TAKEN OUT OF FINAL SETTLEMENT AND IT IS A LOWER AMOUNT THAN WOULD YOU SEE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT AMOUNT. >> Coun. Davis: IF THE SPONSOR KNOWS THAT IS FINE. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT IT IS NOT VERY MUCH MONEY AND I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT CONTRIBUTED TO OUR CITY A LOT MORE THAN THIS, I HOPE THIS IS A GOOD START BUT NOT ENOUGH. >> Councilor Bassan: MR. PRESI DENT, I JUST WANT TO -- I SAID THISD BEFORE WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT OPIOID SETTLEMENT AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONE MILLION OVER 18 YEARS RIGHT AROUND ONE MILLION I THINK THERE ARE DISCUSSIONS THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH SOME OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND EVEN WITH APS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS IT IS OUR HOPE AND MY HOPE THAT WE CAN WORK WITH ABCGC PLUS APS AND FIGURE OUT A WAY WITH AN AGREEMENT TO COLLECTIVELY USE THAT MONEY SO THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE THE ABILITY TO SEE A DIFFERENCE ACTUALLY OCCUR IN ALBUQUERQUE AND NEAR SURROUNDING AREAS, BY LEVERAGING IT TOGETHER. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: ANYONE ELSE. IF NOT, COUNCILOR PENA TO CLOSE. >> Coun. Pena: THANK YOU. I'LL URGE YOUR SUPPORT BUT LIKE COUNCILOR DAVIS SAID -- (INAUDIBLE). I ANAM TOO VERY DISAPPOINTED ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE ENDED UP RECEIVING. WE'LL RECEIVE AG. FIVE MILLION UPON FRONT DISTRIBUTION AND THEN FOR THE NEXT 18 YEARS OR OVER 18 YEARS, WE'LL RECEIVE 750 ANNUALLY THEREAFTER50 WHICH IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET. WE HAVEUC TO PUT OUR MONEY TOGETHER AND ENSURE THIS MONEY IS USED TO PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR OUR CITIZENS WHO HAVE BECOME ADDICTED. TO THESE DRUGS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE PHARMACEUTICALS. URGE YOUR SUPPORT. >> BENTON: ALL HOMES IN FAVOR ON R-32. OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE'LL NOW MOVE ONTO OTHER BUSINESS. EC--79, MAYOR'S VETO OF O-2215 RESPIELING NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION RECOGNITION ORDINANCE, SECTION 148-2 AND REPLACING IT WITH REVISED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION RECOGNITION ORDINANCE AND PRESCRIBES RESPONSIBILITIES AND SERVICES OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD COORDINATION AND MAKING REVISIONS TO INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE RELATED TO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION NOTICE. IF COUNCIL WISHES TO OVER RIDE IT, ATTEMPT TO OVER RIDE, THEY WILL MAKE MOTION TO OVER RIDE. IF NOT OR IF A SECOND IS NOT RECEIVED, MAYOR'S VETO STANDS. ALSO IF A MOTION IS MADE A SECOND IS RECEIVED BUT SIX VOTES ARE NOT OBTAINED IN FAVOR OF OVER RIDE, MAYOR'S VETO STANDS. IS THERE A MOTION TO OVER RIDE? IS THERE A SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND TO OVER RIDE. AS UPON SUPPORT OF RESCUE OF THE BILL, THE ORIGINAL BILL, YOU KNOW, I AM NOT GOING TO BELABOR ALL THE ARGUMENT AND THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS THING FOR SO LONG AND WORKED ON IT FOR SO LONG, I THINK, A BIG PART OF THE MAYOR'S VETO WAS JUST THE FACT THAT WE HAD A TECHNICAL GLITCH THAT NIGHT. THAT WAS ROUGHLY HALF OF HIS VETO MESSAGE AND SO THAT WAS UNFORTUNATE. THAT WAS JUST KIND OF THE WAY IT IS. WE HAVE STRUGGLED FOR EVERYONE WATCHING, WE STRUGGLED WITH GETTING BACK INTO THESE CHAMBERS AND AS PRESIDENT I HAVE WANTED TO GET BACK IN THESE CHAMBERS AND WANTED TO ALSO EXPAND WHAT WE DO HERE VIA ZOOM BECAUSE AFTER TWO YEARS WE SAW THE BENEFITS OF ZOOM IN A CERTAIN WAY. I PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE WE DO A LOT BETTER HERE WHEN WE ARE SOLVING PROBLEMS UP HERE EYE TO EYE WITH EACH OTHER. WE ALSO ENJOY HAVING PEOPLE COME SPEAK PUBLICLY IN THE CHAMBERS. BUT, THAT ZOOM ELEMENT REALLY IT ALLOWS MANY MORE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE SO WE DID THINGS LIKE THAT, WENT BACK TO THE 5:00 OUR WHICH I KNOW NOT EVERYONE LOVES BUT IT DOES, YOU KNOW, IT IS WITH INTENT FOR MORE PARTICIPATION. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO ON THE NIGHT OF THE OVER RIDE. OR ON THE NIGHT OF THE VOTE. BUT I THINK THE VOTES WOULD HAVE SHAKEN OUT THE SAME REGARDLESS. SO, THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE MAYOR'S VETO. ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF POINTS THAT I WON'T GO INTO. BECAUSE THEY ARE BASICALLY REITERATIONS OF SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE OVER THE YEARS HAVING TO DO WITH WE HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH PUBLIC COMMENTS. WELL, I WOULD JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, TWO-AND-A-HALF YEARS OF A WIDE OPEN DOOR BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL IS ENOUGH TO DISCUSS SOMETHING AND NOT DISCUSS IT FOR EVER. SO URGE YOUR SUPPORT ON THE OVER RIDE THIS WILL REQUIRE SIX VOTES. >> WE DO HAVE PEOPLE SIGNED UP. >> GO AHEAD, MR. MOYA. >> MOYA: >> SAMUEL: THANK YOU. WITH NAOP NEW MEXICO. I ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO OVER RIDE THE MAYOR'S VETO OPENED THIS ORDINANCE. REVISION CAME AFTER MORE THAN TWO YEARS OF A LENGTHY PROCESS, DURING WHICH IT WAS MADE CLEAR TO COMMUNITIES MANY ASSOCIATION MEMBERS AND COUNCIL THAT NARO WAS IN REAL NEED OF REVISION. THE MAYOR RECOGNIZEDDED THIS WITHIN IS VETO OF YOUR REVISION TO THE ORDINANCE. THIS REVISION IS A POSITIVE CHANGE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. I'LL TELL YOU WHY, LEGITIMIZES NEIGHBORHOOD'S AUTHORITY AND GEE GRAPHIC CAL AREAS OFHO INFLUENCE AND HELPS PROMOTE LONGEVITY AND CONTINUITY OF ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IN THE CITY, IT WILL HELP FACILITATE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AT PAUL LEVELS, INTERNALLY WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR BUSINESSES AND WITHSE THE DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY. AGAIN, AS MENTIONED IN MY PREVIOUS COMMENTS DURING GENERAL COMMENT, KICKING THIS ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD BY SUSTAINING THE JOE OWE IS AVOIDING THIS BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE SOUND LEGISLATIVE STRUCTURE TO EMPOWER NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO MEANINGFULLY ENGAGE WITH THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THANK YOU. >> DAN REAGAN: COUNCIL PRESIDENT COUNCILORS THERE WERES, TWO ANCHORS FOR THE NARO AND NEED FOR REVISION. ONE WAS TO COMPLY WITH THE NEW IDO AND SECOND WAS 110,000 DOLLARS THAT THE COUNCIL SPENT ON EFFORT TO GET NEIGHBORHOOD INVOLVEMENT. THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL ISSUES OF CONTRACT MANAGEMENT OF THE NETWORK THAT WAS DONE AND NOT DONE SO THAT ACCORDING TO THE ONC AND OTHERS, THE SISD DID NOT KEEP ANY OF THE RAW DATA FROM THEIR SURVEY WORK WHICH MEANS THAT THISHI WAS NO WAY TO EVEN SHOW THAT THE REVISED NARO WAS OR IS CONNECTED TO THE FINDINGS OF THE NETWORK. THERERK IS ALSO THE REALITY THAT 62% OF ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AT THE TIME OF THE NETSO SURVEY WORK DID NOT PARTICIPATE FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER IN THAT SURVEY PROCESS. THERE WEREYEARS MULTIPLE, NUMEROUS REQUESTS FROM THE VERY GROUPS GOVERNED BY THE NARO, BOTH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND SO A LISTINGS TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WRITING AND EDITING OF THE NEW NARO, ALL OF THESE WERE MET WITH TOTAL SILENCE BY THE SPONSOR. I DO NOT CALL THAT AN OPEN DOOR FOR COMMUNICATION. MY READING OF THE MAYOR'S LETTER IS NOT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF A TECHNICAL GLITCH, IT WAS BECAUSE NEIGHBORHOODS ALL THROUGH THE CITY, COALITIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, SAID, THEY HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CREATION OF THIS. BASED ON ALL THE ABOVE I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU VOTE AGAINST THE OVER RIDE OF THE MAYOR'S VETO AND START AGAIN HOPEFULLY TO ACTUALLY TALK TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY. THANK YOU. >> PEGGY NEFF: GOOD EVENING. THERE ARE GREATER CONCERNS HERE THAN TECHNICAL ISSUES ON THE ZOOM SIDE OF THE MEETING ON THE NIGHT M OF THE VOTE. THIS ORDINANCE IS NOT KICKING IT DOWN THE ROAD, IT IS KICKING OUT CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS AND IMPROPER LEGISLATION. THE REFERENCED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION ORIGINALIG DOCUMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW. MORE IMPORTANTLY THE COMMON COLLUSIONS DROWN FROM THE REPORTS DO NOT ALIGN WITH REPORTS. AFTER CONSULTING MY COLLEAGUES (INAUDIBLE). THIS MAY BE CONSTRUED AS FRAUD TO THE PUBLIC. I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO THE CONCERNS NOTED EARLIER AND (INAUDIBLE) NOT ALLOWING NAOP TO (INAUDIBLE) I ASK AGAIN (INAUDIBLE) WHERE OUR CURRENT (INAUDIBLE). I HAVLEE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS. THROUGH COMMUNITY MEETINGS, THROUGH EMAILS, THROUGH IPRA COMPLAINTS AND COMPLAINTS TO NEWNT MEXICO ATTORNEY GENERAL. HOW DARE YOU GO FORWARD WITH THIS ORDINANCE THAT USES ORDINANCE ORDINANCE TO DRAFT LAW THAT ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. VERY BAD. >> THAT WILL CONCLUDE PUBLIC COMMENT. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: ANY STATEMENT OR QUESTIONS. >> Coun. Sanchez: THANK YOU. AFTER TWO YEARS OF COVID AND IT CEMENTS LIKE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE -- IT SEEMS SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE NEIGHBORHOODS DIDN'T HAVE A FAIR SHAKE ON THIS, DIDN'T SEE OUR FEEL THEY WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY EXPRESS THEMSELVES THE RIGHT WAY. THIS HAS BEEN VERY, VERY HARD FOR ME. I AM HEARING THAT WE NEED TO FIND MIDDLE GROUND AND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ALL TRY TO FIND A WAY TO WORK TOGETHER AND, YOU KNOW, I AM HEARING WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS ARE SAYING. THEY ARE SAYING WE NEED TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HOLD CONTRACTORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THEIR WORK AS THEY WERE OBLIGATED TO COMPLY WITH. AND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ACTUALLY SPEAK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I ALSO THINK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THINGS, YOU KNOW, THAT IF WE GIVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD MORE INFLUENCE, A LITTLE BIT MORE POWER, THEY WILL WORK TO HELP OUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS AS TIME GOES FORWARD BY ALSO THINK THAT ME ALSO BEING A BUSINESS PERSON, YOU KNOW, HOPING THAT ANY BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THE AREA, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF PREDICTABILITY THEY KNOW WHEN THEY CAN START DOING BUSINESS AND I THINKOI IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE GROW OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. THIS IS REALLY A TOUGH ONE FOR ME. I LISTENED TO ALL MY CONSTITUENTS AND I HAVE LISTENED TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND I AM DIAGNOSE MY VERY BEST HERE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. SO AS I SAT HERE ALL NIGHT LONG DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME OUT OF EVERYTHING, IT REALLY AFFECTED ME, AND I HAVE MADE MY DECISION AND I THINK THAT I AM GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SUPPORT THE OVER RIDE AND THE REASON WHY IS I THINK THAT WHEN THIS BILL ORIGINALLY PASSED THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS WERE WILLING TO WORK WITH THE OFFICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD COORDINATION ANDRH ALSO GET THE TRAINING. I ASKED FOR TRAINING AND IF THERE IS ANY AMENDMENT THAT WILL POP UP IN REFERENCE TO THIS, IN URGE THAT THE COMMUNITY COMES UP TO ME AND ASKS ME TO WORK THROUGH THESE AMENDMENTS SO WE CAN GET THESE AMENDMENTS RIGHT BACK HERE SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL FIND MIDDLE GROUND AND MAKE SURE WE WORK TOGETHER. WITH THAT, THAT IS MY STATEMENT. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILOR BENTON: ANY OTHER STATEMENTS?N ALL RIGHT. I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE COUNCIL STAFF HAS WORKED SO HARD ON THIS. OUR PLANNING STAFF, THERE ARE A LOT OF HOLES IN THE PRESENT BILLRE THE WAY IT IS, SO, IF WE DON'T OVER RIDE, YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE'LL BE BACK TO SQUARE ONE AGAIN BUT THERE IS A MOTION AND SECOND FOR OVER RIDE. THIS WILL REQUIRE SIX VOTES. ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND? YES. OPPOSED? THAT PASSES ON A 6-3 VOTE. AND SEEING NO OTHER BUSINESS TONIGHT, THIS CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS ADJOURNED. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 9:
