nation and celebrating their commitment to care for one another in times of Crisis particularly the kind hotted Volunteers in Fort Worth and throughout their Red Cross DFW Metro West chapter who always step up and provide a Beacon of Hope for our neighbors here in North Texas I think it's worth noting that often times we interact with these Heroes behind us when things are difficult whether it's a natural disaster they've been asked to respond to or others and our hearts go out to the people of Baltimore right now because I can promise your colleagues in Baltimore are probably there on the ground to help those that are in need whereas since 1911 the American Red Cross has been serving communities in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex kind-hearted Volunteers in Fort Worth and throughout the Red Cross DFW Metro West chapter step up and provide a Beacon of Hope for our neighbors here in North Texas and whereas last year the DFW Metro West chapter assisted 666 families while responding to more than 425 disasters to to deliver food shelter and comfort whereas 504 blood drives were held by Red Cross Blood host in 2023 collecting more than 11,000 units of blood across multiple counties to ensure new moms cancer patients and accident victims had access to Safe life-saving blood and whereas in 2023 the Red Cross proud proudly supported more than 2300 nor Texan military members veterans and their families and caregivers to cope with the challenges of service and whereas 1,472 North Texas Red Cross volunteers the lifeblood of the Red Cross responded to the call to provide relief to families who experienced the worst days of their lives and whereas 1873 people were enrolled in Red Cross first aid CPR and AED training courses helping to make the DFW Metro West chapter more resilient in the event of a disaster whereas every March since 1943 the American Red Cross recognizes the compassion of people across the nation and celebrates their commitment to care for one another in times of Crisis the city of Fort Worth is proud to join the American Red Cross DFW Metro West chapter in celebrating the service displayed by over 3.5 million staff and Volunteers in the DFW area we encourage all citizens of Fort Worth to reach out and support its humanitarian Mission now therefore the city of for wor does hereby recognize and proclaim the month of March 2024 as American Red Heart American Red Cross month and Kathleen if anybody would like to speak please do thank you so much mayor Parker and distinguished City Council Members my name is Kathleen Hicks and I'm honored to be a board member of the Red Cross we are honored to partner with you the Fort Worth fire our department and all city employees and agencies to help make Fort Worth communities safer healthier and more resilient in 2023 we helped more than 700 Fort Worth residents recover from more than 135 disaster events including 125 Home Fires since the start of this year we have already s served more than 60 households and 25 15 individuals in Fort Worth who have experience the worst days of their lives our tireless volunteers many of whom call Fort Worth home answer the call to help those in need every single day as we celebrate Red Cross month we thank them and all those who help us by volunteering their time donating blood and making Financial gifts we encourage everyone to get involved and help us prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies thank you so much of course thank you mayor and Council next I think we have a correction on the consent agenda that will be read into the record thank you this is for MNC 24- 0243 it's authorizing and execution of amendment one to an advanced funny agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation we're amending the title to add adopt an appropriation ordinance and amend the fiscal years's 2024 through 2028 Capital Improvement program May and Council I believe with that correction we have no other items being withdrawn or continued um by staff no items be continued or withdrawn without May and Council we can approve the uh consent agenda as amended I think we have one speaker on the consent agenda correct yes correct sorry the no worries um Adrien Smith is Adrien here okay Adrien Smith I am one with the people uh before I begin I was just those amounts that uh are displayed for the viewer and audience on this morning the top amount is the consent amount that they're going to vote on this morning without any type of discussion plus or minus the bottom amount is last week's amount so uh just want to keep the taxpayers in in a loop as to what's going on here in the city as it relates to our tax dollars okay so I have several mmc's I'm going to speak on but um you all don't have this information before you but I'll be brief so mmc4 Hyphen 0238 for those who have documentation this basically something that I I agree with this is just to uh give uh some more cushion to social programs that we have here in the city um the United Way is the umbrella for all of these various entities and uh they are receiving $199 ,000 $199,500 for funding for the various um programs that go about to assist and help people in uh various crisis crises this that or the other so I'm for this you know this is tax dollars well spent so Kudos Kudos Kudos now to the other business that I'm trying to get uh better at is the wasteful spending that I feel we have I have several items here I can address all of them but I'll be brief I'm this first one is 0235 this deals with um Consulting as relates to it says uh new water department um customer information etc etc this amount is $1,200,000 and it has a a 5year renewal rate at the same amount again it says consult Consulting my thing is what do they what kind of consult do we need to uh have as relates to our water service customers you know as it relates to our water service customer this is a a big amount of money and with the renewals it just it balloons even greater so Freez and nickels oh um MMC 0246 now this says authorization execution of professional service agreement with free and nickels Freez and nickel incorporation in the amount of 300,000 with one renewal option in the amount up to 300 for progam program prioritization assignments now freeze and Nichols the reason why I said I'm saying their name so freely because F Nichols contributed to some of you all's campaigns and I do think that's that goes against the ethics of how we do things in this city now I don't have the information before me but I did go through you all's campaign finances and I did see Freez and nickel on the last election so when I find that information I'm going to present it to the to the public and uh uh we're going to talk more about it um those were my consent items you all I had one more item to speak on see you all shortly thank you council member lorf so since we have so many students in the room I just want to take a moment um since this is an educational experience for you all so you know yes you will see us make some decisions today just know that we also have what we call work session that we all take part in and the public is also invited to that unfortunately a lot of folks um from the public don't show up to the perhaps they watch them from home I'm not sure either way that's where we get to discuss and talk to staff get full reports on these things that we're about to vote on we ask all of our questions in we discuss it and then throughout the weeks up leading up until today we get to go back to staff one-on-one have meetings and figure out if this is the best way forward if it's not we ask City staff to withdraw it from the agenda so we can discuss it further figure out if it's the best way and make sure we communicate with stakeholders so just so you all aware that's how that process works with work session um you're always free to come out to those too if you ever want to uh spend a few hours out there with us listening to us go back and forth so thank you special thanks to my Marine friend here uh to the students when we talked this morning about the agenda I think Michelle let you know where you could find the agenda online I know she did uh if you look at the agenda all you have to do is click on a link and you will have all the questions all the answers all the information that you need you don't have to come into this session blind or ignorant or uninformed because we are fully transparent with those items again I was so glad to see you all this morning

is that right mayor is this both of these I got two I sign up for you have three minutes hi Bob time's running yes sir yes sir that means I split them a minute and a half each if I had three of them I'd only have a minute each so I'm glad you're taking I love this free speech Mr crang it's working well okay let's get this up there real quick the first one I'm talking about it doesn't matter because they don't show it on the screen in order you only got a minute and a half they don't give you much time or do anything about it okay it won't matter they probably won't show it at home either you know they don't show what I put up here you Mar what I put up here should be shown on the TV at home equally and it's not here okay it should be the same yes okay go ahead what's the point of order I'm just saying they don't show it at home okay I want it shown at home too here's what happened we're getting new machines or whatever it's not the machines no so much it's the people in charge but here's what happened in District 5 uh okay 2019 we had 4,400 votes around there out of you know a large District 2021 we had 5,500 votes going up because the city's getting bigger 23 we dropped down to 3,400 votes does that not raise a flag up something's wrong our council member Gina bibbens doesn't care about that okay anyway it's not the machines also there's a video came out how that's the main counting's done it's run like a country Country Club is terrible when I called Bill hanning the tent County's election public information I asked I was going to ask him about this and his reply to that video is he's not going to answer any questions and he hang up the receiver now that really felt me a lot of confidence okay then the new administrator because when that video came out about what's going on in our elections when that Min video came out the administrator left another girl stepped down but she's back there working again but nevertheless it's the uh people that need to be looked at big time before the machines oh I love that three minutes to Allen okay the one about the police officer well we have a a couple this is the agenda wa you should see it you used to be able to see it before MD Parker was here okay with Bessie price this ran a lot better even though I didn't like her okay under no claims okay this police officer whatever happens his name will only come up under no plan which is in the middle and that's all you're going to find out we're not going to know if the officer was suspended or if he was guilty wrong also I wonder why is this even for us to speak about I don't understand that can we say no and then you won't give the 150,000 out I'm I'm really confused about this and we shouldn't be able to speak about anything we don't know about but they don't tell us nothing about this stuff anyway look at my website okay Mayor John Heights you're stopping it from its full boundary with Michelle Guk and that's wrong our next speaker is Adrien Smith so I'm here to uh kind of echo what Bob was speaking on MMC 24237 that's in relation to a lawsuit that was uh their due to vote on today in relation to uh police uh police misconduct so on January 28 2002 officers were dispatched to a disturbance cause as a result of that cause taywan holway was arrested for the offense of public intoxication and transported to the for city jail after arriving at the entrance of the city jail Holloway was removed from the back seat of the patrol car by the officer Miller to escort him inside the jail while officer Miller was es escorting Holloway whose hands were handcuffed behind his back Holloway turned towards officer Miller appearing to say something officer Miller responded by conducting a takedown maneuver on Holloway consequently hollow's head struck the concrete floor and lo and he lost Consciousness and suffered bodily injury as a well as as well as emotional distress so that's how we got here to this particular MMC the settlement amount is $150,000 which I think it should be more but I think the city is stuck on $150,000 when it comes to uh police uh misconduct so I would like to encourage the public if you have any kind of discrepancies or issues with this city as relates to liabilities please please aim high when you seek to sue the city to the taxpayers I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry but until we have accountability across the board with law enforcement for their bad behavior not the good officers good officers salute to you but you bad apples you want they continue to be Rogue you're the ones who are costing this city money so Chief noes get your get your appointment under order sir and as as I take my seat um Mr L you highlighted the work session sir even po Pinocchio thought he was a real
