invited to be heard may or we do have five people on the line i will proceed please first up is janice go ahead you have three minutes i've lived in aurora for 20 years and i've spent the entire 20 years living in the del mar park area never have i ever felt compelled to call into a meeting and express my overwhelming frustration for what i've witnessed of certain members in the city council their comment i consistently want to interrupt and cut forward to female staff and council members but you cannot do this with me i implore you to do some self-reflection and gain some understanding as to why this is occurring and target different course so that you can be a positive role model for the boys and young men that watch these meetings you all discuss youth violence and try to identify the miracle program that's going to stop our youth from behaving poorly but you fail to recognize the true behavior towards each other and to the people serving our community is only demonstrating to our youth that is acceptable to be disrespectful dishonest impulsive people i want to say thank you to mr marcano mr gardner mrs bergen and miss mario for understanding professionalism respect and the need to find middle ground for the sake of all residents in aurora two weeks ago a meeting occurred where this council was discussing news violence prevention ms boston resorted to rolling her eyes fabricated rhetoric and immature behavior when her peers respectfully disagreed with her just less than you were a role model especially for our youth of color and for you to respond like a teenager that got their phone taken away only shows our youth that is okay to blow when challenged let's teach our used to go high and i respectively beg you to be a role model in that capacity publicly blasted our police chief and deputy chief on a radio show and then took to social media with hashtag fire the team this is jeremy both of these individuals are decorative police officers that have dedicated their lives to keeping the community safe tartis statistically has dedicated over 20 years of service to this community she took over an apartment that was riddled with bad eggs cover-ups and a culture that supported the idea that people of color deserve to be treated poorly she has dealt with riots a consent decree cleaning up the messes that nick mess created and cowardly walk away from has taken on the challenge of much-needed police reform without any complaints chief wilson has given the citizens something no other chief has and that is transparency he decides that the apa president but that aurora is made up of 10 illegal aliens fifty percent lead smokers tempting crackheads and two child molesters and murderers rounded out yet you fight a team that has made monumental progress that is truly worthy of respect and appreciation this community back to you fulton deputy parker and all the good men and women of aurora pd strinsky you work for the citizens of aurora but it seems you were only working to make money for yourself through antagonistic and hysterical rhetoric i would also caution calling anyone trash when all you have provided aurora is pleasing dollars that are embarrassing to the city your rhetoric is divisive and perpetuates hate ignorance and violence i've never felt on stage in the city of aurora and i'm proud that i'm raising my two beautiful children in this great city and i look forward to chief wilson w parker's continued improvements i can't help but feel that if psychological evaluations some fit for duty testing was required to be on council but the citizens of aurora would not have to be subjected to ms sterinsky and i'm embarrassed to admit that i voted for her thank you next up is danny danny you have three minutes thank you hi council uh i'm danny preya i live near the beautiful quincy reservoir which i wish was open to walkers all year round uh councilmember bergen you're my council member um and a stoplight just went up at south argonne street in quincy that stoplight is dope thank you a lot of kids walk across quincy to summit elementary school and i'm so happy that they actually have a stoplight and a crosswalk now um the reason i'm calling into this meeting instead of living my best life as an auroran is because of the camping ban i love aurora and i love my thai community here to do my part in decreasing the amount of human suffering in my community i volunteer as a hospital advocate for the blue bench which is the metro area's only comprehensive sexual assault prevention and survivor support center some of the survivors we show up for have been attacked by people in their household members of their family roommates and partners i have sat with survivors as they dialed shelter after shelter to hear the exact same thing the shelters are full there is nowhere to go we have less than 200 beds in aurora and almost population of 600 is growing i think regardless of party all members of the council can agree that the point of the social contract is to minimize the amount of human suffering in a community we band together to take care of each other why is the city government turning its eye of sauron on the most vulnerable people in our communities wouldn't it minimize more human suffering to turn the city government's focus to the greedy wealthy who want to be able to consume continually without depletion who are hoarding our community's wealth and privatizing everything does this council value private property or human life council members you represent me and i beg you not to criminalize people who are vulnerable because they don't have the wealth and status to defend themselves that is a rotted worldview thank you thank you next is ken you have three minutes go ahead so my name is ken i live in board six and similar to the previous commenter i'm calling to urge you not to move forward with a camping up in um from a pragmatic view it just doesn't work it hasn't worked in other cities and from a moral perspective it's just wrong it's criminalizing poverty so again i urge you not to move forward with enacting this thank you thank you next is pat go ahead you have three minutes uh my name is pat dunn i'd like to comment about the remarks that uh congress that uh cabinet cabinet uh council member charinsky made about our chief of police and our deficit deputy chief of police the charter of the aurora city council states under contract guidelines when interacting with city employees or members of the general public individual council members shall conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times when council member jorinski called our chief of police and our deputy chief of police trash and most certainly violates this provision of our charter as well as other provisions and is a disgrace i feel these arrogant cruel nasty and immature statements made by the congress the the council member was has no place in civil discourse i also feel that the council that the council member should be censored if she isn't this gives her license to spew further untruthful denigrating accusations for years to come on election night council member curtis gardner commented on the newly elected council members he said quote they have a lot to learn unquote i couldn't agree more but ignorance of the rules of procedure for counsel should not be an excuse to defame anyone anywhere or at any time thank you for your time thank you next is arnie you have three minutes go ahead kaufman members of the council my name is arne schultz and i also disagree with the camping ban it as it has been mentioned it is expensive it has been proven not to work and it degrades people of low income the other thing i want to mention is i was looking at the managers memo last week and i noticed that the aurora economic development council which council has granted over a half a million dollars to had their board meeting in denver and i know several of you sit on that board and i would like somebody to get back to me and tell me why they met in denver it's an insult to the taxpayers when we are spending a half over half a million dollars on aegc for them to meet in denver thank you and as i said i would like somebody to get back to to me and most of you have my contact information thank you thank you i'm sorry does that conclude public invited be heard yes it

evening mayor and council my name is elizabeth gillitzer gallardo and i am the billing and revenue senior supervisor with the water billing department um i'm here to discuss lee wap which is the low income household water assistance program currently aurora water already has a water assistance program called aurora water cares which was established in 2018 and liebwap is a separate program that is federally funded that would supplement the aurora water cares program it was implemented by the colorado department of human services it's a one-time program with 15 million and limited funds which means it's first-come first-served basis and it started in november of 2021 and it'll last till april 30th of this year lee lab has all the same qualifications as the royal water cares but we would have to enter into a vendor agreement with cdhs what makes what makes this different than aurora water cares is that it's a one-time benefit that will pay the entire balance on the customer's water account there's no cap so with aurora watercares we've already helped many aurora water customers with 130 thousand awards already this is why staff is requesting to move forward with leewab because

uh yes so that's the nomination so can i go ahead and nominate garrett walls and becky hogan uh well the question should we um just go through each nomination individually and then see what rises to six votes i can't remember the process yeah i i actually wanted to just amend my emotion it was to a point not to nominate so i'm moving to a point as opposed to nominate very well does have that authority they can nominate our point so we can go with the first position for alexander jackson and then um mayor pro-tem bergen if you wanted to do a motion to a point we can go to yours next thank you okay so um the first is uh i'm sorry who who is it again alexandra jackson alexandra jackson uh discussion on alexander jackson i see none uh when cooper peace called the nomination of alexandria

councilmember mario yes mayor pro-tem bergen no and councilmember medina yes the motion does not pass with four yes votes and seven no votes further nominations are american uh yes i would like to appoint garrett walls and becky hogan mayor can we take num appointment chips one by one my motion is to appoint walls and becky hogan i understand your nomination second quarter mayor um katie and i discussed it earlier and i think that certainly the clerk's position was that we could appoint more than one we could nominate more than one at one time um is there a state attorney is there is there a issue with that you may use either method okay very well well okay can i ask a question please proceed um so to the city attorney our council rules say we have to give an up or down yes or no vote on each individual so if i wanted to vote yes on one of these people and no on the other i wouldn't be able to as stated so that doesn't really enable us to follow the council rules of order and procedure attorney and under the rule you would be sorry if you wanted to vote for one and not the other under this under this particular motion you would actually your no vote would have to go across the board and then we would come back to other appointments well then we will proceed uh with mayor for tim's motion uh and that was seconded by zavonik uh councilman was erotic discussion uh sitting down with the clerk please call the rule on the nomination of garrett walls and becky hogan mayor i just i i did have a comment oh please proceed thank you i mean i i just think it makes sense to vote for them individually um it doesn't really give us an opportunity to um you know if we want discussion or to council member kum's point um vote differently on either one of them um so i think we're doing a disservice by just combining them um had that been the case i would have nominated more than one um earlier but i i thought it was important to nominate one by one and that was the direction that was given to us in the council member memo so just for future reference if that could be consistent clear and clarified to all members of council beforehand further discussion may this is the katie if i may have a surgery um i i'm sorry we didn't clarify that further for you councilmember modio uh just for further explanation it is kind of the same process we just went through with the other boards and commissions so council has been making multiple um emotions with multiple people in that one but if uh we want to revisit this and and clarify how we'd like to do planning and zoning and civil service i i will be more than happy to assist further discussion i see you know when the police call the role on the adoption of the nomination for garrett walls and vicky hogan to the planning commission councilmember marcano yes councilmember gardner yep councilmember lawson yes mayor kaufman yes mayor pro-tem bergen yes councilmember coombs yes council member sunberg yes councilmember medina yes councilmember mario i believe that was a yes i i'm sorry i don't want to get that okay thank you councilmember jorinsky yes and council members of anik yes the motion passes to appoint garrett walls and becky hogan to the planning and zoning commission we have one more vacancy mayor uh councilman mcconnell thank you sir move to appoint stephen elkins uh to the planning and zoning commission it's removed by councilman mcconnell i was talking about dina uh councilman medina uh to a point i'm sorry uh elk and mr elkins yes mr elkins steve elkins uh to the planning and zoning commission um discussion you have a question uh mayor zavonik all right customers that question for staff i know that this um third position is one that came up after the initial process for applicants to come in for the other two seats and i'm just curious is there is this a normal for us to say okay this is we're going to go from this pool of candidates or should we be opening this back up given that there may have been others who would have applied for the seat given that it just reopened after the other these applications had already been processed council members of monic that would be up to council the majority of council how they would like to move forward with this but seeing as we did schedule all the interviews we went through the entire process and there is a third vacancy you are more than welcome to fill this vacancy so there can be a quorum on this commission and we don't have to go through another set of of interviews so it is however council would like to move forward with it further discussion the nomination is in okay we our nomination is on the floor uh by councilman mcconnell i was by councilmember medina further discussion uh yes mayor a man for tim so can we make a substitute motion at this point yes okay my substitute motion is to delay this so we have more applicants that are able to apply um and then uh stephen for his last name would be also included in that and so what is there a date certain that the process would close uh katie i would have to get the schedule together for use because we have to do the criminal background checks again and so that would be another few weeks of getting the applications doing the criminal background checks doing the whole appointment process again so it would be at least another month before we would do the interview process so we could say delay um and do another round of interviews is there a quorum problem katie not now yeah very well um so i guess i would delay until uh let's see would we do the interviews march 7th or could we do the interview well i guess it would that would be the only time mayor and and mayor pro tim bergen and and dan brosman could correct me if i'm wrong but i believe you could just ask to delay it until we schedule another round of interviews okay so that would be my motion to delay until um a time when we can uh schedule the interviews sorry a second mayor i have a question um let me just see if there's a second otherwise this mood uh is there a second to the mayor for tennis motion is ivonic uh councilmembers uh councilmember mcconnell thank you sir um would we then re-interview uh mr elkins and any other previous applicants who were interested in reapplying yes i can reach out i'm sorry i can reach out to the candidates and i i asked them after the interview process if they would they would like to keep their application on file for future um recommendation or future interview process and they let me know yes or no and at that point after that happens and i receive all the applications after the due date that council sets that's when you do the ranking process and decide who you would like to interview so it is up to council but
