>> AND WE ARE PROCESSING THOSE MANUALLY. WE PROCESS THEM MANUALLY FOR THE FIRST FIRST TWO DAYS AND I'M PLEASE TO YOU A NUNS THAT THE SYSTEM NOW IS WORKING PRETTY WELL ON OUR SIDE, ON THE BACK END. THEY ARE NOT GOING PUBLIC WITH IT YET, BUT RATHER THAN ENTERING THE INFORMATION AND REQUESTING A SPREAD SHEET, WE ARE ACTUALLY ENTERING INTO ALBUQUERQUE PLAN RIGHT NOW, AND IT IS GOING VERY SMOOTHLY. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE CONDUCTED ON FRIDAY AND TUESDAY, BECAUSE MONDAY WAS A HOLIDAY, 352 INSPECTIONS MUCH SO WE ARE RIGHT ON COURSE WITH THE NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS WE DO. >> SO WE DOESN'T NEED ANY BACKLOG TO INSPECTION? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, YOU'RE HEAT # ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THERE ARE NO INSPECTION BACKLOG EXPECTED AS A RESULT OF THE SOFTWARE CONVERSION. EVEN BETTER NEWS, THE ELECTRICAL INSPECTION BACKLOG, THAT WAS FROM A STAFFING SHORTAGE, HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM FOUR WEEKS TO TWO WEEKS. WE MADE SURE TO DO THIS. AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO NEW ELECTRICAL INSPECTORS COMING ON BOARD IN THE NEXT MONTH. >> DIRECTOR, WHEN SOMEBODY CALLS TO GET AN INSPECTION AND THEY DON'T GET AN ANSWER RIGHT AWAY, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO CALL THEM BACK? BECAUSE PART OF THE DISCUSSIONS I'VE HAD, TOO, WHEN THEY ARE SCHEDULING FOR AN INSPECTION IS THEY CAN'T GET AHOLD OF ANYONE OR THEY ARE NOT GETTING A RETURN CALL? >> COUNCILLOR BACA # COUNCILOR, THAT WAS NOT ON THE FORM. WE DO HAVE INFORMATION POSTED ON THE WEBSITE AND THE INSPECTIONS RIGHT NOW THEY ARE CALLING IN FOR THAT WE WANT TO DO FOR THEM ARE EMERGENCY I KNOW 13EBGSS BECAUSE IT IS THE MIDDLE OF WIN END # WINTER. SO PEOPLE HAVE A WATER HEATER GO OUT, OR FURNACE. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE GAS CONDITION OF NEW MEXICO AND THE WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY. WHAT I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR IS WHATEVER THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS ONLY BEEN OPEN 48 OUT OF 24 HOURS IN THE DAY AND EMERGENCIES HAVE OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND WEEKEND AND HOLIDAYS FOR DECADES AND THOSE CONTRACTORS OUT THERE KNOW THAT THEY ARE POST SPOASED TO GO IN AND TAKE CARE OF THE EMERGENCY AND COME IN AFTERWARDS AND GET THE PERMIT AND GET THE INSPECTION FOR IT AFTER THE FACT. >> THANK YOU. I THINK YOU ANSWERED MOST OF THE OTHER ONES. THE LAST ONE IS, HAS THE CITY CONTEMPLATED WHAT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR TWO WEEKS WILL BE? I'M ASSUMING BASED OFF WHAT YOU SID, THE PERMIT MIGHT NOT THINK THERE IS ANY SORT OF CONSTRUCTION SHUT DOWN FOR THIS. BUT I'LL LET YOU AGAINST # ANSWER. >> I APPRECIATE IT, AND THE ANSWER IS, NO. WE DIDN'T CALCULATE ECONOMIC SHUT DOWNS FOR TWO WEEKS BECAUSE THAT SCENARIO DOES NOT MATCH REALITY. >> THANK YOU. THAT WAS IT FOR ME. JUST FOR THE RECORD. AND THANKS FOR HELPING WITH THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WAS AT THE END OF THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC. #. >> SOMEONE JUST REACHED OUT TO NO AND THEY # THEY SAID IT WON'T BE OPEN UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE 28TH, THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE A REMODEL AND IT IS COLD. SO I THINK THERE WILL BE AN IMPACT ON ALL OF CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS ON HOLD. NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING. SHE ALSO MENTIONED THAT NEW CONSTRUCTION IS GETTING PRIORITY OVER INSPECTIONS. IS THAT TRUE? >> AND PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL LETTERS NO. PRETTY MUCH NONE OF THAT DID TRUE. IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, IF SOMEBODY IS HEATING IS OUT, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DO THE WORK AND THEN GET THE INSPECTION AFTERWARD. SO IF SOMEBODY IS DOING RIGHT MODEL AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY # ANY HEAT BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY MEET # HEAT SECURING A REMODEL. >> I DON'T KNOW. >> IT IS A LITTLE STRANGE. BUT THE ANSWER IS, NO, THAT'S NOT REALISTIC. IN ADDITION, WHAT WE ARE PRIORITIZING FOR INSPECTIONS IS NOT NEW CONSTRUCTION, IT IS FINAL INSPECTIONS AND EMERGENCIES. SO IF YOU'RE WAITING TO GET YOUR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, PRESIDENT # MADAM PRESIDENT, WHICH IS CALG # CRITICAL TO OCCUPY THE BUILDING, CLOSE OUT FINANCING, ETC., WE ARE MAKING SURE WE ARE CONDUCTING THOSE INSPECTIONS THE #. THE OTHER THING TO REMEMBER IS, TODAY IS WEDNESDAY. WE HAVE THURSDAY, PRY, AND MONDAY, WHICH IS WHEN WE ARE SCHEDULED TO GO UP EITHER ON MONITOR TUESDAY AT THIS 4 AT THE LATEST. WE ARE TALKING THREE BUSINESS DAYS FROM NOW. >> MY NEXT QUESTIONS ARE REGARDING H? A. 4-6R7B8G9S # #H -- HHH. WHAT REGULAR -- SO THIS IS REGARDING A LOT OF THIS TOPIC IS GOING TO BE REGARDING THE APARTMENTS THAT WE ALL HEARD ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK THAT THE CITY OWNS AND HAS SOME SIGNIFICANT ISSUES. SO I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE AND ON HOW TO FIX IT. WHAT # BUT WHAT REGULAR MAINTENANCE WERE IN PLACE AND HOW DO THEY ADDRESS THE PREVENTION OF STRUCTURAL ISSUES LIKE THE TEA TEARATION OF SPHAIR WAYS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING US TO PRESENT TO YOU AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW. THE ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUESTION. THERE ARE MAINTENANCE PROTOCOLS. ONCE A WEEK, SENIOR STAFF GOES AROUND AND DOES A REVIEW OF THE APARTMENTS. OF COURSE, MAINTENANCE STAFF DOES THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY. IN ADDITION, HHH STAFF GOES IN ONCE A YEAR AND DOES INSPECTIONS. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS REMEDIATION AND REPAIR JOBS ON THE STAIRS FOR YEARS. 2000 20001 20002 20003 THERE HAS BEEN ON# ONGOING MAINTENANCE REMEDIATION OF THIS ISSUE. >> I'M GOING TO ADD ON, EVENTUALLY DO YOU REPLACE THE STAIR WAY INSTEAD OF REMEDIATE IT, PUT IN A NEW ONE? YOU CAN'T ALWAYS PUT A BAND-AID ON AND EXPECT IT TO WORK. >> THAT'S WHAT WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO. >> THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. GIVEN THE RESIDENTS OBSERVED STAIR WAY DETERIORATION OVER THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS, WHAT FACTORS WENT INTO ADDRESSING THESE CONCERNS MORE PROACTIVELY #? >> WE BELIEVE WE HAVE A MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT. THERE IS A UNIQUE DESIGN TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. THERE ARE MANY STAIRS RELATIVE TO THE PARTICULAR DESIGN. IT HAS MADE IT SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO MANAGE THE PROJECT FROM TERMS OF ITS ABILITY TO BE COMPLETELY AMENABLE TO ME H. REMEDIATION, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE GOING TOWARD REPLACING THEM. THEY ARE AT THE END OF THEIR DESIGN LIFE, AND SO THAT'S THE ONLY RECOURSE. >> WHAT MEASURES ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED TO ASSURE TIMELY AND TRANS PARENT -- TRANSPARENT AND RELIABLE INFORMATION # COMMUNICATION? >> WE HAVE PROVIDED LETTERS TO ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THAT COMMUNITY AND SPECIFIC LETTERS TO THE PENAL WE'RE CYSTING IN MOVING. SO WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT. IT IF THERE IS A TIME WHEN WE ARE REOPERATION # PLACING STAIR WAYS AND WE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE REMEDIATION THAT'S GOING ON, OR THE STAIR WAY REPLACEMENT THAT'S GOING ON, WE WILL DULY NOTIFY THE RESIDENTS. >> THANK YOU. I DEFINITELY HOPE THERE IS SOME ADD ADVANCE COMMUNICATION FOR THE SHE H. REMEDIATION OR REPLACEMENT OF THESE STAIRS, AND I WILL SAY, EVEN IF IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND ALL THE STAIRS, BECAUSE OF THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING, THAT SHOULDN'T BE AN EXCUSE FOR SOME OF WHAT JUST OCCURRED, AND I ABSOLUTELY HONE THAT THIS # IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE ESPECIALLY WITH CITY PROPERTY. HOW DOES THE CITY PLAN TO ENHANCE OVERSIGHT AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES TO PREVENT THIS IN OTHER PROPERTIES. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOR THE QUESTION. WE HAVE INSTITUTED A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT STRATEGY FOR ALL UNITS. SO WE WILL HAVE AN ONGOING MAINTENANCE IN PLACE. THIS WAS DONE INFORMALLY PREVIOUSLY, BUT NOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE IT FOR FORMAL. >> THIS IS VEERING OFF, BUT IS THE JINL SERVICES DEPARTMENT INVOLVED? I WOULD THINK IF IT IS A CITY PROPERTY, THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD THE VISION OF GENERAL SERVICES TO DO, IS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP UP ON THE INSPECTIONS AND UPKEEP. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, UNDER THE CONTRACT WE HAVE WITH HALLMARK PROPERTIES, IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. >> THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. SO WHAT ARE MONARCH PROPERTIES RESPONSIBILITIES CONCERNING THE REGULAR INSPECTION AND REPORTING OF STRUCTURAL ISSUES, AND HOW ARE THESE RESPONSIBILITIES FULFILLED AT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, MONARCH PROPERTIES IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING ANY INFORMATION TO HHH STAFF IN TERMS OF MAINTENANCE ISSUES, IN ALL THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES. THEY HAVE KEPT US DULY INFORMED. AND WE HAVE PROCEEDED TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST THEM IN MAKING THE SCANS NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO # TO REPLACE THINGS. >> HOW DOES MONARCH PRIORITIZE AND ADDRESS MAINTENANCE REQUESTS AND WHAT WAS THE PROCESS, AND WAS IT FOLLOWED UP ON IDENTIFYING THE STAIR WAY ISSUE? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, YES, THE PROCESSES WERE FOLLOWED IN TERMS OF MAINTENANCE ISSUES. I DON'T SEE A BREAK DOWN MR. COMMUNICATION. OR WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO TO MAINTAIN THE STAIR SITUATION. THEY ARE SIMPLY AT THE END OF THEIR DESIGN LIFE. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MONARCH APPLY ARE TIEWZS EACH 6 THOSE STAIR WAYS AND WHATEVER ISSUES MIGHT COME UP? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, YES. ACTUALLY, IN RELATION TO THESE PARTICULAR STAIR WAYS, THERE WERE INSPECTIONS EVERY SINGLE DAY AT SOME POINT IN TIME, NOT ONLY FOR EXTERIOR ISSUES, BUT INTERIOR. >> WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO I KNOW MAIN # CONTAIN APARTMENTS -- MAINTAIN THE OOPTSZ THOUGH A CERTAIN LEVEL. AND ANYTHING NEEDING MAINTENANCE WAS FIRST, AND THEN ANYTHING AFTER THAT. HOWEVER, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A BUDGET, THERE IS NOT ANYTHING IS THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE REPAIRED. >> THAT'S GOOD. ONE MONTH OF FREE RENT, MOVES H. MOVING SERVICES, WHAT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MECHANISMS ARE IN PLACE IS TO ASSIST THE DISPLACED RESIDENTS DURING THE REPAIR PERIOD EX-# EXPECTED TO LAST TWO # ONE TO TWO YEARS? >> MAYOR KELLER, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ATTEMPT -- MADAM PRESIDENT, THAT IS WHAT WE'RE TEMPTING TO DID. THAT IS REQUIRED BY CITY CODE AND STATE DISAT OUT. WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT IF ANYBODY HAS ANY ISSUES, WE ARE FINDING PLACES FOR THEM AND PROVIDING NOT ONLY RELOCATION SERVICES BUT ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO PHYSICALLY MOVE THEM. SO WE FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THE KIND OF SEVERALSES WE ARE PROVIDING. THEY WERE ALSO OFFERED THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACKS ONCE WE REPLACE THE STAIR WAYS. >> AND HOW DOES MONARCH ENSURE COMPLIANCE PARTICULARLY REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE HOUSING UNITS UNDER TLE MANAGEMENT? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, WE BELIEVE THE BEST RECOURSE IS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOMETHING IN CONTINUOUS WRITING THAT IT IS NOT JUST RANDOM E-MAILS. >> OKAY. AND MY LAST QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE LIABILITY THE CITY FACES REGARD THE CONCERNS? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, IT IS VERY HARD FOR US TO ASSESS LIABILITY ISSUES. WE BELIEVE THE PROCESS THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW IS THE BEST IN TERMS OF LIMITINGS ANY LIABILITY WE MAY HAVE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY FROM RESIDENTIAL BEING THAT -- FROM RISK OR IS THERE ANY OTHER ANSWER FROM THE RISK SIDE OF THIS, RATHER THAN THE HHH SIDE OF THIS FOR LIABILITY? >> COUNCIL, MADAM PRESIDENT #, WE HAVE LOSS PREVENTION INDIVIDUALS THAT WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WILL GO OUT AND INSPECT AND OUR GOAL IS TO MITIGATE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I TALKED A LOT ABOUT MONARCH PROPERTIES JUST LAST YEAR AT THE END OF THE YEAR WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE RFP FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING CONTRACTS, AND TALKED A LOT ABOUT MONARCH PROPERTIES N THE RFP, MONDAY # MONARCH PROPERTIES HAD TO TELL US, AND I'M GOING BACK TO THE PAPERS WE RECEIVED, THERE WAS A WHOLE SECTION ON MAINTENANCE. PROPERTIES WILL BE MAINTAINED AND KEPT IN GOOD REPAIR TO THE CITY APPROVAL, FOLLOW A MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE OR PLAN, PROVIDE 24 HOUR MAINTENANCE, PROMPT RESPONSE TO SERVICE REQUESTS. THIS PIECE IS INTERESTING. ANY EXPENDITURES THAT WERE REQUIRED OVER $5000, THEY HAVE TO GET PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS. DID MONARCH PROPERTY PUT IN ANY REQUESTS TO MIX # FIX THOSE THINGS THAT MAYBE WE DIDN'T APPROVE? >> MA'AM, COUNCILOR, YES. THEY HAVE FOLLOWED ALL THOSE ASPECTS AND THEY HAVE ASKED FOR FUNDS AND WE HAVE PROVIDED THE FUNDS. >> Coun. Rogers: AND HOW MANY TIMES DID THEY REQUEST THE FUNDING FROM US BEFORE WE ACTED? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR ROGERS, WE ACTED IMMEDIATELY SO THERE HASN'T BEEN A DIFFERENCE THIS. LAST ASPECT, IN TERMS OF TRYING # DECIDING TO REPLACE THE STAIRS, THAT'S DIFFERENT. WE HAVE TO GET STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, WE HAVE TO GET TRAINED STAFF TO MAKE SURE WE ARE MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO DELAY IN THAT PROCESS. >> # REQUIRE #. >> Coun. Rogers: BECAUSE THE TENANTS THAT SPOKE PUBLICLY ABOUT THEIR REPEATED REQUESTS FOR HELP IN THAT PARTICULAR -- A# AND YOU WERE FEATURED ON THAT NEWS STORY AS WELL, TALKED VERY SPECIFICALLY. ARE YOU SAYING THAT MONARCH PROBABLY DID NOT NOTIFY THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THOSE STAIRS? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR, MONARCH PROPERTIES DID NOTIFY THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE IN TERMS OF THOSE AS SOON AS # CONDITIONS. WE DID INSPECTIONS, WE TOOK APPROPRIATE ACTION. HOWEVER, WE NEED TO TAKE MORE KIND OF ACTION, BECAUSE WE HAVE DECIDED IT IS A HUGE CAPITAL EXPENSE TO BE ABLE TO NO LONGER FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT REPAIRING THE STAIRS, WE FEEL THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDIATE IS REPLACE THE STAIRS. >> Coun. Rogers: SO WHEN DID MONARCH PROPERTIES NOTIFY THE CITIES. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, THEY HAVE CONTINUOUSLY NOTIFIED THE CITY OF THE CONDITION. >> Coun. Rogers: BUT WE ACTED -- >> MADAM PRESIDENT, YES, WE HAVE ACTED IN DUE DILIGENCE RELATIVE TO WHAT THE SITUATION WAS AT HAND. >> Coun. Rogers: THANK YOU. I THINK MY CONCERN IS WE HAVE JUST ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE SAME PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY FOR SEVERAL OTHER PROPERTIES, AND IF WE ARE FOLLOWING WHAT WE PUT IN OUR CONTRACT FOR THEM, AND IF THEY HAVE CONTINUOUSLY TOLD US ABOUT IT AND WE DIDN'T FIX, IF THE BIGGEST CONCERN I HAVE IS THE CONSTITUENTS CALLING THE ADA. DOES THAT PROPERTY HAVE A WORKING ELEVATOR FOR FOLKS WITH ADA? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, NO, THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN ELEVATOR. >> #. >> Coun. Rogers: ONE LAST QUESTION, MADAM PRESIDENT. ACCORDING TO OUR CONTRACT, WE MUST ADD HERE TO ALL K # ADA COMPLIANCE, SO THAT WORRIES ME IF THERE ARE FOLKS WHO ARE DISABLED AND THEY CAN'T USE THE STAIRS AND WE DON'T HAVE AN ELEVATOR, WHAT ARE WE DOING. LIKE, WE ARE IN VIOLATION OF OUR OWN CONTRACT. THAT'S NOT A QUESTION. I KNOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP IT TO QUESTIONS. I HEAR THE COMMENTS ABOUT THAT. BUT I'LL LEAVE IT THERE. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. >> Coun. Grout: MADAM PRESIDENT, I HAVE ONE QUESTION. IS THERE JUST ONE SET OF STAIRS AT THE PROPERTY? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, NO, I BELIEVE THERE ARE 46 STAIRS. >> ONE SET OF STAIRS? IS THERE ONE SET OF STAIRS? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, NO, THERE ARE 46 DIFFERENT STAIR WAYS. >> SO WE CAN'T JUST CLOSE OFF ONE SET AND FIX THEM A THE A TIME? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, YOU'RE SEX # EXACTLY RIGHT ON POINT. WE INTEND TO FIX THE ONES THAT ARE IN MOST DISREPAIR AFTERNOON THEN SHUT OFF DIFFERENT AREAS SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF THE STAIR WAYS. >> AND WE HAVE TO REMOVE PEOPLE TO DO THIS? >> I'M SORRY I, COUNCIL ALREADY, IT WAS AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WAS SAFE. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU SEE SOME DEER HE # DETERIORATION, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY SAFE. >> SOUNDS LIKE WE WEREN'T REALLY ON TOP OF MAINTENANCE OF IT. >> THAT'S THE END OF ADMINISTRATION G # Q AND A.

COUNCILLOR GROUT, EC-283. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS REVENUE AND EXPENSE REPORT. HHH, WHY DID WE THINK WE WOULD OVER SPEND IN THE FIRST QUARTER? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILLOR GROUT, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE, THESE ARE FIRST QUARTER PROJECTIONS, PROJECTING THROUGH THE YEAR, AND EARLY IN THE FIRST QUARTER, HHH IS LOOKING AT THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION AND LOOKING AT WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO ADD, AND WHEN WE CREATED THE BUDGET, WE MADE IT KNOWN AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE BUDGET AND MOVING MONEY AROUND THAT WE WOULD LIKELY BE WORKING ON ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND BE PROBABLY COMING BACK TO THIS BODY FOR POTENTIAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BUDGET AS MORE SERVICES CAME ONLINE AND WE ENHANCE SERVICES. THESE ARE EARLY PROJECTIONS. >> THE DEPARTMENT IS WATCHING THEIR BUDGET CLOSE COUNTRY ILY. AND I ALSO DURING OUR BUDGET PROCESS, WE TALK ABOUT HIGHWAY CONSERVATIVE WE ARE, AND WE ALWAYS ESTIMATE OUR EXPENSES HIGH, WE ALWAYS ESTIMATE OUR REVENUES AT A VERY REASONABLE EXPECTATION FOR REVENUES. SO CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES FOR EXPENSES ARE ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT HIGH. AND AGAIN, WE ARE FIRST QUARTER. WE ARE MONITORING THE DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET. THE DEPARTMENT FISCAL FOLKS ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH ALL CONTRACTORS. LOOKING AT THEIR SPENDING IN ALL OTHER AREAS. BUT AGAIN, FIRST QUARTER, THEY ARE JUST MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE VERY CONSERVATIVE WITH THEIR PROJECTION. >> THANK YOU. MADAM PRESIDENT, SO THEIR ENTIRE DEPARTMENT WAS OVER BY TEN POINT FIVE MILLION, AND THAT'S QUITE A BIT. WERE ALL THE SCRTS ISSUED BY THE FIRST QUARTER? >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND COUNCILLOR GROUT, I'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CONTRACT LIST AND PERHAPS FOLLOW-UP WITH YOU ON WHICH SPECIFIC CONTRACTS YOU'RE LOOKING AT. BECAUSE UTD DEPARTMENT HAS A LOT 6 CONTRACTS. SO I CAN'T TELL # TELL YOU SPECIFICALLY WHATEVER # WHETHER EVERY SINGLE CONTRACT WAS ISSUED. >> I'LL ANSWER THAT FOR YOU, THEY WERE NOT. IS HHH SPECT TODAY OVER SPEND ON THE NEXT QUARTER? >> WE DON'T HAVE SECONDS QUARTER PROJECTIONS YET I CAN SO I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. >> COUNCILLOR GROUT, DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? >> I MOVE APPROVAL OF EC-283. >> MOTION FOR REPEAT BE NOTED OF THE EC, IF THAT'S OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND FROM. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES. ANYONE OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> Coun. Baca: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. MA'S APPOINTMENT OF MS. MARIE COLEMAN TO THE OLD TOWN ADVISORY BOARD. QUITE A FEW TIMES THIS YEAR, WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF OUTREACH ON THE TOP MANAGER, THE EXISTING MANAGER RETIRED AND THE ADMINISTRATION KIND OF DECIDED TO CHANGE UP HOW IT WAS GOING TO MANAGEMENT THIS WAS PART OF AN OLD ORDINANCE. DID I MEET WITH THE ADMINISTRATION # TO TALK ABOUT IT, AND HAD SOME DISCUSSION ON POTENTIALLY UPDATING THE ORDINANCE. NEVER ACTUALLY DID DO THAT. AND SO RIGHT NOW, THE ADMINISTRATION IS OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH OUR ORDINANCE, AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY -- I DON'T NEED TO DO ANY Q AND A TONIGHT, BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT THE SITUATION IS, AND SEVERAL FOLKS HERE HAVE ALSO RECEIVED NOTICE ON THAT. BUT IN LIEU OF GETTING THINGS UNDER COMPLIANCE, ON # OR WORKING OUT A SOLUTION, I'D LIKE TO MOVE DEFERRAL TO THE FEBRUAR. >> STLSES A MOTION TO DEFER TO FEBRUARY 19th AND IT IS SECONDED. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY YES OF THE DEFERRAL. ANYONE OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS ANNOUNCEMENTS. THERE WILL BE THREE INTER GOVERNMENTAL RELATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, AT 10:00 A.M., WEDNESDAY JANUARY 29, AT 35BG P.M., AND SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1st, 10:00 A.M., VIA ZOOM. WE DON'T HAVE ANY FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS THIS EVENING AND NO APPEALS. SO WE ARE MOVING ON TO GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. MEMBERS 69 PUBLIC CAN PROVIDE LIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY IF THEY HAVE SIGNED UPPER THE INSTRUCTIONS PUBLISHED ON OUR AGENDA FLY. THE PUBLIC GROUND RULES ARE EACH PARTICIPATE PANTED TONIGHT WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES TO PRESENT. COMMENTS WILL BE ADDRESSED TO THE COUNCIL ONLY THROUGH THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND ANY DISRUPTIVE CONDUCT WILL MEAN REMOVING FROM THE CHAMBERS, INCLUDING SNAPPING AND TAPPING. MR. KOREAN # KNEEL I COULDN'T SAY. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCIL HORSE, LAST TIME I WAS HERE, IT WAS TWO MINUTES AND IT IS KIND OF HARD. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE HAS GOT A LOT MORE THAN HUMAN FECES TO WORRY ON THEIR STREET. THEY HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE ACCOUNTABILITY. I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOUR TAXPAYERS. THEY ARE APT TO GET HIT WITH A LEG # BIG LAWSUIT. YOU FOLKS DON'T HAVE THE PROPER PEI PEOPLE. YOU DON'T HAVE A CIVIL RIGHTS PERSON. IF YOU DO, THEN I FIND IT VERY ODD THAT I WALK IN THERE TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE FROM THEM, BECAUSE I FOUND MYSELF TRANS # TROAS PASS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SIMPLY TRYING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE CHIEF OF POLICE THAT'S BEEN ONGOING FOR TWO MONTHS. THERE'S NOT EVEN A PUBLIC BATHROOM IN THE POLICE STATION AND I HAVE TO SIT THERE TO WAIT. THERE ARE SOME REAL BIG ISSUES HERE. THERE IS A PRIME ISSUE I'LL GIVE YOU. YOU HAVE A SECURITY STAFF THAT GO AROUND THIS BUILDING AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, THAT SOMEONE LIKE MYSELF IS HOLDING THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE, IS SOMEHOW NOW PROFESSIONAL AGITATORS. I DON'T LOOK AT MYSELF LIKE THAT. I LOOK AT SOMEBODY WHO IS GOING TO KEEP SOMEBODY ACCOUNTABLE. WHEN SOMEBODY GIFTS ME THEIR WORD, I'M GOING TO HOLD THEM TO YOU # TO IT, AND I GIVE YOU MY WORD YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF ME. >> RICK. >> BEFORE YOU START, MR. JONESSY, IF YOU CAN START WORKINGS YOUR WAY TO THE FRONT IF YOU ARE NEXT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. PLEASE PROCEED. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, I ADDRESS YOU THIS WAY BECAUSE I RESPECT THESE CHAMBERS. NOT BECAUSE I RESPECT ANY OF YOU. I'M GOING TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR. THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS, REAL PROBLEMS. YES, THIS DOCUMENT SAYS RULES REGARDING PUBLIC COMMENT AND CHAMBER DISEE CORE YOU. THERE ARE TWO RULES, DECORUM AND ENGAGEMENT. IF YOU WANT TO GO TO DISEE # ENGAGEMENT AND PREVENT ME FROM EXERCISING MY RIGHT TO SPEAK OR EXPRESS MYSELF, YOU SAY THAT I CAN'T STOP # SNAP MY FINGERS, YOU LOOKED AT ME AS IF I DID SOMETHING. YOU BETTER HAVE THE RIGHT GUY. I HAVE RESPECT FOR THESE CLAIM BEMPLES #. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE RESPECT FOR MY RIGHTS. WOULD I BEAR DOWN TO SAY YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR OWN RIGHTS. YOUR POLICE DON'T KNOW, YOUR POLICE DON'T KNOW OUR RIGHTS AND THEIR OWN RIGHTS. THEY DON'T SIGN AN OATHS TO THAT # THIS CONFUSION, THE CONFUSION OF THE UNITED STATES. THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD. THE CONSPIRACY FUSION OF THE UNITED STATES, THEY DO NOT SIGN AN OATH. IT SAYS, IN THE LACERATIONS # LAW, IT SHOULD BE SUBSCRIBED. WHY DO YOUR OFFICERS NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS UNITED STATES. THEY SUBSCRIBE AT LEAST TO THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO. I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. THEY DON'T CARE. THEY DON'T KNOW OUR RIGHTS. THEY DON'T KNOW YOUR RIGHTS, THEY DON'T KNOW YOUR OWN RIGHTS, AND THAT'S WHY THEY ARE SO QUICK TO VIOLATE OUR RIGHTS. THEY ARE QUICK TO VIOLATE YOUR RIGHTS TOO. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IRE GOING TO BE QUICK TO VIOLATES MY RIGHTS IF I SAY SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE. WHAT IF I JUST FARTED? YOU DON'T LIKE THAT? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH SAYING WORDS. ARE YOU SCARED OF WORDS? I DON'T GET F YOU'RE FATHER FIEDZ OF WORDS. THAT'S A PROBLEM. GET OVER YOURSELVES. FREE SPEECH THAT IS PROTECTED IS NOT PROTECTED SPEECH SO YOU GET TO HEAR WHAT YOU WANT, IT IS SO YOU HEAR WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR. SO WHEN IT COMES TO THAT OATH, I WOULD REALLY STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU FIND A WAY TO MAKE SURE YOUR OFFICERS SUBSCRIBE. >> MR. JONESY, FOR THE RECORD, I WAS NOT LOOKING AT YOU. >> RUDOLPH. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THIS COUNCIL, I WANT TO START THE YEAR IN THE POSITIVE. YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A LOT JUST TU FILL UP THE STADIUMS AND NOW THEY CAN'T COME BACK AS A PROFIT IF THEY FILL OTHER STADIUMS. SO I WANT TO SUPPORT THEM FOR WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING. BUT I INVITE YOU TOMORROW. WE ARE DOING SECONDS NIGHT. I'M CHANGING FROM # TO SEE IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE MOOD 678 AND WE ARE STILL RUNNING. I TELL THEM GOOD ENOUGH MONEY TO SHINING, BUT WOULD STILL ALREADY HAVE PLANS. WE ARE PLANNING TWO HOUR BREAK FOR CITY EMPLOYEES. ONE FOR EAT AND ONE FOR A SIESTA, YOU KNOW, AND EVENTUALLY, THE FIRST YEAR IS GOING TO BE TWO HOURS OF FRIDAY, THE SECOND YEAR, FOUR IF A A # UNTIL WE GET PRIDE, AND WE WILL PUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INSTEAD # STEAD. LET'S SEE IF CITY EMPLOYEES WANTS TO PUT FIVE DOLLARS FOR THAT. AND FOR MY REPUBLICAN FELLOWS, WE ARE FIGHTING CRY SAID. TRUMP WON. I WILL SUPPORT, LIKE, ALL CENTRAL CORE FORS FOR THE TANKS TO GO TO NEW MEXICO. THAT'S RIGHT AWAY. AND THEN ALL, COUNCILLOR ROGERS'S AREA, AND COUNCILLOR GROUT AREA, THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUTLINING RIGHT AWAY, YOU KNOW. WE PRETTY MUCH HAVE THOSE ARE MY MARON GOALS, YOU KNOW, JUST TO KIND OF BALANCE THE ACT. USUALLY YOU END UP WITH BOTH SIDES NOT LIKING YOU, BUT YOU HAVE TO SAY WHAT IS RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT IS RIGHT. AND SO WE ARE GOING TO CREW AID, NEXT TIME, THE SECOND CREW SAID. THANK YOU. >> LISA. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND COUNCILORS, AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, I AM ONE OF THE SNAPPERS. I WAS NOT OFFENDED THAT I CANNOT SNAP NOW. THIS WORKS JUST AS WELL. KNOW I'M A SNAPPER AND I WILL FOLLOW THAT. AND ALSO FOR THE RECORD, I'M HERE BECAUSE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, THE WATER HEATER IN OUR 17 YEAR OLD HOUSE NEEDED REPLACE I GO. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. THE WATER DAMAGE WAS SO SEVERE THAT IT DID REQUIRE THREE WEEKS OF REPAIRS, AND IT DID EXTEND OVER A MONTH DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS. THE GAS 7:00 HAD TO TURN OFF OUR GAS BECAUSE THE PLATFORM THAT THE WATER HEATER WAS ON WAS NOT SAFE, SO WE HAD NO HEAT AND WE HAD NO 409 WATER AND THE DAMAGES WERE NOT COVERED BRING OUR HOME INSURANCE. I WAS -- IT WAS 'CAUSE # ONE CATASTROPHIC EVENT IN 204 AND I FOUND MYSELF UNHOUSED IN ALBUQUERQUE, MYSELF, MY 87 YEAR OLD FATHER, WHO IS A MARINE BOXES OLYMPIAN, 1964 OLYMPICS, I HAD NO IDEA JOE FRAZIER VISITED OUR HOUSE ALL THE TIME, I HAD NO IDEA HE WAS FAKE # FAMOUS, AND OUR 8 # YEAR OLD IMMIGRANT MOTHER. AND WE WERE BRIEFLY UNHOUSED IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AND I CAN SAY FOR THE RECORDS THE CITY INSPECTOR CAME OUT TO OUR HOUSE, WEEDS TO WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS FROM THE DAYS THEY TOLD US, BUT THEY DID COME OUT, AND THE PERMITSING DID HAPPEN FOR US, I CAN TESTIFY TO THAT. SO PRIVILEGE IS WHY I WANTED TO TALK TODAY ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE HAD PRIVILEGE AND THAT'S HOW I WAS NOT UNHOUSED. THAT'S HOW MY FAMILY WAS NOT UNHOUSED. AND I THINK ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DO # DO NOT HAVE THE PRIVILEGE. I HAD A GOOD JOB, I HAVE # I HAD SAVINGS. AND OUR FAMILY SAVINGS WAS PRETTY MUCH GUTTED WITH MY SISTER'S CHEMO. WE HAD JUST ENOUGH. BUT I DID TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY AND SEE WHAT KIND OF STUDENTS THERE WERE IN THE CITY FOR THOSE WHO POSSIBLY DIDN'T HAVE THE PRIVILEGE WE HAD, AND THAT WAS QUITE A SHOCK. (CHANGE IN CAPTIONER). >> FOLLOWED BY JAMES FREEMAN. >> HI, I'M GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS LOT OF THINGS IN THESE TWO MINUTES. ONE, NEWS TO ME WE HAVE ALL THESE ILUSTRIOUS PUBLIC BATHROOMS. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU PUT THAT IN WRITING, SHELTERS, IF YOU DON'T WANT POOP ON YOUR STREETS, PUT THAT WORD OUT. IT MAKES SENSE TO ME, IF WE HAVE THEM TELL PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE. PUT IT IN WRITING. PEOPLE DON'T HAVE PHONES. ADDITIONALLY, I WANT TO MENTION THAT IT SEEMS WITH YOUR AID PROGRAMS AND YOUR WAYS OF HELPING PEOPLE, THAT PEOPLE KEEP FINDING BARRIERS AND HITTING BARRIERS AND BARRIERS, I HAVE TWO CASES, I QUICKLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT, OF FOLKS WHO ARE OWING MONEY TO HEADING HOME BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEIR CONTRACTS OR THEY OWE MONEY TO LANDLORDS. AND THEY'RE NOW, AS ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS, HAVING TO DEFEND THEMSELVES IN COURT TO THEIR LANDLORDS. THEY DON'T HAVE THE INFO, IT'S THROUGH HEADING HOME. THEY ONLY HAVE VOUCHERS. THESE PEOPLE ARE ELDERLY. THEY ARE EXPECTED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AND STAND IN FRONT OF A COURTROOM COMING JUST OUT OF HOMELESSNESS. THIS IS CRAZY. WE NEED TO HAVE MORE LEGAL AID FOR FOLKS WHEN THEY'RE BEING SUED POST-VOUCHERS OR DUE TO VOUCHERS, OR A LOT OF FOLKS END UP NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW MUCH THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR VOUCHERS. OR HEADING HOME CHANGES THE AMOUNT THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR VOUCHERS AND THEY START OWING PACKBAY AND THE LANDLORDS TAKE THEM TO COURT. ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS HAVE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES IN FRONT OF A COURTROOM. FOLKS WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON WHO ARE ON THE BRINK OF HOMELESSNESS. CRAZY. I WANT TO ALSO MENTION IN THE LAST 15 SECONDS, IT'S REALLY COLD OUT THERE. PEOPLE CAN DIE. PEOPLE CAN HAVE PERMANENT HEALTH ISSUES DUE TO THE COLD. WHERE THE SAFE OUTDOOR SPACES? WHY AREN'T WE TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE? PLEASE. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE ON THESE STREETS. HELP THEM. >> JANICE HERRERA FOLLOWED BY JAMES FREEMAN. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILOR BASSAN, I SPEAK AS A HEALTH SPECIALIST. A QUICK UPDATE TO THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND, AND THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT. THE NEIGHBORS STRUCK BY A HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER BY MY HOUSE. AND IS STILL IN A WHEELCHAIR TODAY. -- SINCE NO MEDICAL CAN VOUCHERS FROM ANY CITY ORGANIZATIONS WORK WITH PETS. I'VE BEEN OUTSIDE AFTER DARK NEAR FIRLS STREET AND I-40 FOR THE PAST TWO NIGHTS WITH HOT DRINKS AND FOOD AND HARM REDUCTION, AND CLOTHING ET CETERA, THE SHUTTLE PICKS UP LAST AT 8:30 P.M., SHOUT OUT CITY EMPLOYEES, CHARLEY, ZEO, WALTER, AND GRAVEYARD SHIFT EMPLOYEES. I APPRECIATE THE NEW SHELTER TRACK WAS ONLINE. WHEN I FINALLY DROVE HOME AT 330 A.M. I WAS IN TEARS. FOUR HOURS FROM WHEN I CALLED TO AFTER-HOURS TRANSIT FOR ANY FACILITY WITH A YOUNG WOMAN WITH NO TENT AND A HOODIE WITH WITHOUT SOCKS. I COMMEND THE ACS WORKERS THAT CAME AT 3 A.M. TO RESMAUND TO AN UNRELATED FIGHT BETWEEN TWO WOMEN. I AM THANKFUL FOR THEM. AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE FUTURE ACS CAPACITY. I HAVE A VISION WHERE ACS RESPOND ANYWHERE IN ALBUQUERQUE WITHIN 20 MINUTES. WITHOUT STAFF, I DO BELIEVE IN WORK'S RIGHT AND HUMAN RIGHTS, YOU NEED MORE VANS AND STAFF, HOW CAN WE EQUIP TEAM WITH ALUMINUM BLANKETED. WE SHOULD REDUCE TRANSIT TIME. WE CREATE HEALTH POLICIES TO PAUSE DISPLACEMENT AND CONFISCATION DURING EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS SO I DON'T SEE PEOPLE WITH THEIR BELONGINGS DISCARDED AFTER THE COLDEST NIGHT IN MANY YEARS. HOW DOES THIS WORK FOR PEOPLE WITH NO PHONES. PLEASE WORK TOGETHER TO SEE MORE PEOPLE IN THE BEDS. THANK YOU. >> JAMES FREEMAN FOLLOWED BY DAMIAN FOLLOWED BY BRIAN McLISTEN. >> GOOD EVENING. MADAM PRESIDENT. JUST TO PIGGY BACK A BIT ABOUT THE PRESENTATION ABOUT THE PIT COUNT. THIS COUNT IS REQUIRED FOR ANY CITY RECEIVING FEDERAL FUNDING. IT IS BENEFICIAL TO EVERYONE THAT WE GET THE BEST COUNT POSSIBLE. NO, WE DO NOT NECESSARILY GET DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR MORE FUNDING BECAUSE OUR COUNT IS HIGHER, BUT THERE'S AN EQUATION IN THERE AND IT BENEFITS EVERYONE THAT WE GET THE BEST COUNT POSSIBLE. I BEG WITH YOU TO PLEASE HALT THE SWEEPS DURING THIS SEVEN-DAY PERIOD. EVERYONE HAS A STAKE IN HELPING TO GET THE MOST ACCURATE COUNT POSSIBLE. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP US. PLEASE HELP STOP THE SWEEPS, MINIMIZE THE CLEANING. WILLIAM AND I REALIZE THAT WE OVERDID IT THIS YEAR. WE DON'T LIKE THE SEVEN-DAY IDEA. WE THOUGHT IT WAS A BETTER COUNT. WE REALIZED WE SPREAD OURSELVES VERY THINK. WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD. PROBABLY GOING TO DOWN A ONE-DAY, OR TWO-DAY COUNT NEXT TIME BECAUSE WE DIDN'T REALIZE --WY -- WE GOT THE SAME AMOUNT OF VOLUNTEERS AND SPREAD THEM OUT OVER SEVEN DAYS. IT'S NOT AN OPTIMAL SITUATION. WE NEED AS MUCH HELP AS POSSIBLE TO GET AN ACCURATE COUNT. THANK YOU. >> DAVID HARDING FOLLOWED BY BRIAN McLISTEN FOLLOWED BY DAVID McGIVENS. >> FOR AT LEAST THE THIRD TIME IN ONE AND A HALF YEARS ANOTHER CYCLEST HAS BEEN KILLED BY A HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING. THREE DAYS AGO CHUCK DIED WHILE RIDING BACK HOME AFTER VOLUNTEERING FOR A BIKE ADVOCACY GROUP. HE WAS WORKING FOR PARKS AND REC TEACHING KIDS AND ADULTS ABOUT SAFE BICYCLING. HE ALWAYS PRACTICED WHAT HE TAUGHT ABOUT SAFE CYCLING. BEING VISIBLE AND PREDICTABLE, AND OBEYING TRAFFIC RULES AND WEARING A HELMET. APD NEEDS TO CATCH AND HOLD ACCOUNTABLE THE HIT AND RUN OFFENDERS TO DETER FUTURE INCIDENTS AND INSTILL PUBLIC TRUST IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE HIGH PREVALENCE OF WHITE PAINTED GHOST BIKES AROUND TOWN WHERE A BIKER WAS KILLED IS SCARY. THE CARS ARE GETTING BIGGER FASTER AND HEAVIER WITH MORE DISTRACTED DRIVING FROM CELL PHONES, ALBUQUERQUE HAS UNFORTUNATELY BECOME ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACES FOR CYCLEISTS AND PEDESTRIANS. THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR THOSE THAT WALK OR USE IT FOR TRANSPORTATION. THIS BENEFITS GREENHOUSE, DECREASING HEALTH CARE, AND PROMOTING MENTAL AND PHYSICAL WELL BEING. ALBUQUERQUE NEEDS SAFER CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE AND SLOWER SPEED LIMITS WITH AUTOMATED SPEEZ ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS. WE NEED TRAFFIC-CALMING WAYS, ROUND ABOUT, BIKE LANES, THESE IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE MADE BY SPEED CAMERA REVENUE AND ENHANCE SAFETY FOR CYCLISTS AND PUIEN PUDUSTRIENS AND MOTORISTS. I IMPLORE YOU TO HAVE MORE SAFE CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE AND LOWER SPEED LIMIT ENFORCEMENT BY CAM WAS IN ORDER TO STOP THE SENSELESS LOSS OF LIVES AND MAKE ALBUQUERQUE A SAFE CITY FOR RESIDENTS AND MAKE US PROUD TO LIVE HERE INSTEAD OF BEING FEARFUL WHEN WALKING. >>COUN. BASSAN: THANK YOU. >>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MR. HARDING, I KNOW HE'S A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT SIX. PART OF THE PARKLAND HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. MY DAUGHTER GOT HER FIRST BIKE FROM CHUCK WITH A FREE KIDS BIKE. THANK YOU FOR NAMING HIM TONIGHT. I'M DEFINITELY ALL IN TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO. I'LL REACH OUT TO APD BECAUSE THE FAMILY HAS QUESTION AND WE STILL HAVE SOMEBODY OUT THERE WHO HIT SOMEBODY AND LEFT. PEOPLE, I IMPLORE YOU, IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING PLEASE REACH OUT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE JUSTICE THERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> BRIAN McLISTEN FOLLOWED BY DAVID McGIVEP, FOLLOWED BY IAN GATES. >> THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ME. I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE REVISIT BRINGING THOSE ELECTRIC SCOOTERS INTO THE CITY. I WALK AROUND THE CITY A LOT. I LIKE TO WALK. I FIND THESE THINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDE WALK. AND IN THE MIDDLE OF ADA RAMPS. AND PARKING POTS. THEY'RE A BLIGHT ON THE CITY. I THINK THEY'RE DANGEROUS FOR PEDESTRIANS. I STEPPED TO THE SIDE AND SOMEBODY IS COMING RIGHT UP ALONGSIDE ME. MY WIFE IS HANDICAPPED. SHE HASN'T BEEN OUT AND ABOUT, BUT I CAN IMAGINE OTHER PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS OR OTHER HANDICAPS BEING IMPEDED BY THESE. THESE ARE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE'VE TURNED OVER OUR RIGHTS OF WAY TO PRIVATE COMPANIES. THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. I HOPE YOU LOOK AT THIS AS AN EXPERIMENT. HOPEFULLY WE'VE LEARNED FROM IT AND WE CAN COME BACK AND GET OUR STREETS BACK AND SIDEWALKS BACK. THANK YOU. >> DAVID McKIFBEN, FOLLOWED IAN GATES. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M SO THANKFUL TO HAVE THE CHANCE, I ONLY HAVE A COUCH AND BAG -- I'M A STUDENT. I HELP VOLUNTEER. I WORK AND I GO OUT AND DO ALL THIS EXTRA THINGS THAT EVEN THE MOST AFFLUENT PEOPLE IN THE SOCIETY THAT WE HAVE ARE NOT ABLE TO GO OUT THERE AND GET OVER THEIR BICKERING AND QUARRELS. AND THEY GET HUNG UP ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PEOPLE EXERCISING THEIR OWN RIGHTS TO BE HEARD. WHETHER WE AGREE OR DON'T AGREE, IT DOESN'T MATTER. THIS IS COUNCIL, THIS IS CITY. THIS IS DEMOCRACY. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET TOGETHER AND HEAR, EVEN THE THINGS WE DON'T WANT, ESPECIALLY THINGS WE DON'T WANT TO. ALL WE HEAR IS WHAT WE'RE DOING GOOD, THEN WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING RIGHT. IT'S THE LEAST OF US THAT GET HIT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT. AND I AM ANGERED BECAUSE I GOT NOTHING. I'M LOOKING FOR A JOB. I'M GOING TO SCHOOL AND I'M SHILL HOMELESS, YET I STILL HAVE MORE TIME AND THE ABILITY TO HELP MORE PEOPLE THAN I THINK I DO. I DON'T DO MUCH, I DO WHAT I CAN. ALL I KEEP HEARING IS THEY BELIEVE IN ME MORE THAN THEY BELIEVE IN THIS ENTIRE GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE THIS POWER AND ABILITY TO ACTUALLY CREATE CHANGE AND THEY DON'T. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IGNORANCE, BECAUSE I KEEP GETTING TOLD EDUCATION IS KNOWLEDGE YET WE OVERLOOK EVERY PERSON THAT HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE IN THIS. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, HOW CAN SOMEONE WHO IS WARM UNDERSTAND WHO IS COLD? IF IF YOU ARE IN THE IVORY TOWER AND NOT ON THE GROUND TO HAVE REAL CHANGE. IT HURTS AND BOTHERS ME. I EXPECT US TO DO BETTER. WE CAN DO BETTER CORRECT? I HOPE SO. >> IAN GATES, FOLLOWED BY JOHN VON, FOLLOWED BY RALPH. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'LL SPEAK ON THE WAY THIS COUNCIL FUNCTIONS. LOT OF TIMES WE READ NEWS STORIES FOR AGENDA ITEM FOR DAYS AND WE COME OUT FOR THE MEETING AND WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT WE ARE TOLD WE HAVE A MINUTE TO SPEAK. IT ONLY HAPPENS ON THE MEETING WITH THE MOST COUNT CONT CONTROVERSIAL ORDINANCES. LAST WEEK AVERAGE CITY COUNCIL MEETING RAN UNTIL 10 P.M. AND ONE UNTIL 1:40 IN THE MORNING. WHEN THEY'RE RUNNING SO LATE, IT AFFECTS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, THE COUNCIL, THE CITY COUNCIL STAFF WHO HAVE TO BE HERE UNTIL THAT LATE BECAUSE A LOT OF US HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING. I THINK THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE LIFT THAT 30-SPEAKER TABANID PUBLIC COMMENT SO THOSE OF US DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE HERE UNTIL 1 A.M. CAN STILL SPEAK AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FIVE OR SIX HOURS. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WE'RE CONSTANTLY AMENDING THE AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT. I LOVE THAT YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR ROLES AS LEGISLATORS, BUT I FEEL SOME OF THE ORDINANCES ARE NOT READY WHEN THEY GET TO THIS POINT. I THINK WE MIGHT NEED ANOTHER MEETING, ANOTHER COMMITTEE MEETING BEFORE WE GET TO 5 P.M., OR WE NEED TO COMMUNICATE TO NEWS OUTLETS IN THE PUBLIC EARLIER IN THE COMMITTEE PROCESS ABOUT THE ORDINANCES SO WE CAN HAVE OUR INPUT AND GIVE YOU FEEDBACK EARLIER AND WE DON'T HAVE 12 DIFFERENT AMENDMENTS ON THE 5 P.M. MEETING NIGHT. I ALSO THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A THIRD MEETING IN THE MONTH. I THINK WE SHOULD MEET ON THE LAST MONDAY BECAUSE OUR AGENDAS ARE SO CROWDED AND SOMETIMES WE HAVE SO MANY ORDINANCES AND IF CITY DEPARTMENT MESSES UP THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HAPPEN AND WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE COMING TO SPEAK AND I THINK WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET TWO MINUTES MORE OFTEN IF WE HAD MORE FREQUENT MEETINGS. THAT'S ABOUT IT. I HAVE ONE SECOND. THANK YOU. >> JOHN VON FOLLOWED BY RALPH BRONZE. >> HELLO, CITY COUNCIL. MANY OF YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT DONALD TRUMP IS NOT IN CHARGE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE BRITISH MONARCH IS. LET ME EXPLAIN. IT HAS TO DO WITH THAT FLAG. THE UNITED STATES CODE TITLE FOUR CHAPTER ONE, THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES SHALL BE 13 HORIZONTAL STRIPES ALTERNATING RED AND WHITE AND THE UNION OF THE FLAG SHALL BE 48 WHITE STARS ON THE BLUE FIELD. THAT'S THE LAND YOU'RES DICTION. THE SEA JURISDICTION WHICH IS THE HIGH SEAS AND ALL INLAND WATER WAYS WHICH IS THAT FLAG, IS CONTROLLED BY THE BRITISH MONARCH AS A RESULT OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. THAT FLAG IS ON A POLE. THE GOLD FRINGE AROUND THE FLAG MEANS WE'RE UNDER MARSHAL LAW SUSPENDS THE CONSTITUTION. IT'S ALSO ON THE STATE FLAG. LET'S SEE, PULLING PEOPLE FROM LAND AND AIR JURISDICTIONS TO THE SEA JURISDICTION IS KNOWN AS PRESS GAGGING. THAT IS ILLEGAL. WHEN PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO DONATE THEIR TAX AGAINST THEIR WILL THAT IS ILLEGAL. ACCORDING TO THE GENEVA CONVENTION PROTOCOL 1949 ARTICLE THREE, IT'S A CAPITAL CRIME TO CHANGE AMERICAN STATE CITIZEN TO THAT OF THE UNITED STATES CITIZEN WITHOUT CONSENT. BECAUSE OF THIS, ALL OF THE COURTS IN NEW MEXICO AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE GUILTY OF BARTERY. THESE CRIMES ARE COMMITTED LEGALESE. THE BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY REDEFINES WORD LIKE PERSON, WHICH IS NO LONGER A PEOPLE, IT IS A CORPORATION AS PER THE 37th CONGRESS, CHAPTER 49, SECTION 48. IN CLOSING, WE DO NOT HAVE RIGHTS, WE ONLY HAVE PRIVILEGES. IF IT'S POSSIBLE, PUTIN AND ANONYMOUS, I NEED YOUR HELP. ANY QUESTIONS? HAVE A GOOD DAY. >> RALPH RAHM. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, THANK YOU FOR MY OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT. I'M A 34-YEAR RESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN. HIM HERE TO BRING RECOGNITION TO -- I'M SADDENED BY THE LOSS OF MY FRIEND CHUCK THIS PAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON. KILLED BY A HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER WHILE RIDING HIS BIKE. I MET CHUCK IN THE EARLY DAYS OF BY BIKE TRANSPORTATION IN THE LATE 90s. OVER THE YEARS I WORKED WITH HIM MANY TIMES. HE WAS THE BICYCLE SAFETY AND EDUCATION PROGRAM. I VOLUNTEERED AT BICYCLE SAFETY RADIOS FOR CHILDREN. AND AT BIKE TO WORKDAY AND OTHER MEETINGS TOO. HE TAUGHT SAFE AND LAWFUL BICYCLE PRACTICES ALL WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE AND UNDERSTANDING. A FRIEND OF MINE WORKED WITH CHUCK SINCE CHUCK RETIRED FROM CABQ. HE TOLD ME ON MONDAY HE RODE THE ROUTE HOME WITH CHUCK MANY TIMES AND SAID HE WAS THE EPITOME OF SAFE BICYCLE USEAGE. IT'S A SHAME AND HEARTBREAK THAT HIS LIFE WAS TAKEN BY A MOTOREST THAT DISAPPEARED IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAY NEVER BE FOUND. I FEEL BAD FOR HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER WHO LOST A HUSBAND AND FATHER. THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR CHUCK IS THIS COMING SATURDAY. IT'S NOT MY IDEA, BUT I HARDLY AGREE WITH IT, HAVE A CHUCK MEMORIAL TO THE COMMUNITY SHOP AT HEADINGLY. I WANT TO SAY I CONCUR WITH THE COMMENTS BY DAVE HARDING. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR ROGERS, FOR YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DAVE'S COMMENTS AND THE FACT THAT YOU KNEW CHUCK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>COUN.

THE CITY SPENDS OVER A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS DEFENDING THE CABQ CASE. THAT WAS WITH THE INJUNCTION AND ALL OF THAT AND LEGAL FEES. OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. AND WITH MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET A CAMPING BAN, EVENTUALLY SUCCEEDING, I WARNED IN DECEMBER THAT THE BAN WOULD RESULT IN DEATHS AND I AM SADLY HERE TO REPORT THAT IS THE CASE. THE YOUNG LADY WHO DIED USED TO CAMP IN GROUPS AND STARTED CAMPING SEPARATE FROM EVERYONE, PHYSICALLY, SO LESS ATTENTION WOULD BE ATTRACTED TO HER TENT THAN ATTRACTED TO THE GROUP. I HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO MY FRIENDS THEY CAN'T CAMP ANYWHERE. THAT SUCKS. I REALLY WANT ALL OFFIA TO RECONSIDER AND LIFT THE BAN. PLEASE.
