WELCOME THANK YOU FOR LETTING US JOIN HIM TO NIGHT AS WE SHARE WITH YOU. ASSESSMENT FINDINGS AS RELATES TO THE CITY MANAGER AND WE ALSO PROVIDE SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT WHAT THE BENCHMARK FINDINGS WERE FROM YOUR BENCHMARK COMMITMENT NOW JUST TO KIND OF BRING EVERYONE UP TO SPEED. YOUR BENCHMARK COMMITTEE CONSISTED OF COUNCIL MEMBERS, THREE STAFF MEMBERS TO CITIZENS. IN ADDITION TO THAT WE CONDUCTED AND THE ORGANIZATION WIDE SURVEY AS WELL AS WE INTERVIEWED WITH SOME OF YOUR TEAM MEMBERS WILL SHARE OUR INFORMATION AS PERTAINS TO THE BENCHMARK SO THAT YOU CAN COME AND SEE WHAT ALL THIS WORK HAS GREAT. ARE WE HERE? TO KIND OF RECAP? WHAT WE'VE DONE WILL REVIEW THE CITY MANAGER JOB BEEN SMART AND ASSESSMENT FINDINGS RELATING TO THAT, AND THEN WE HOPE TO FINALIZE THAT TOMORROW.
YES, WELL WE SHARE WITH YOU, UH , MODIFIED JOB SCRIP SHIN, AS WELL AS PERSONAL BROCHURE FOR CONSIDERATION. TO APPROVE SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD IN THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THIS POSITION.
SO FAR, HERE'S THE WORD THAT'S BEEN COMPLETED. WE HAVE COMPLETED THE ASSESSMENT. IT WAS QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE, UH , IN THE SURVEY. IT ALSO CONSISTED OF INTERVIEWS AND TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT THE FINDINGS AS A RELATES TO THE JOB PROFILE. WE'VE CREATED A JOB POSTING BUT THE POSITION OF CITY MANAGER WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR JOB BENCHMARK. THAT'S WHAT WE'LL SHARE WITH YOU TODAY. AND AS WELL AS UPDATE AND SEEKING FINALIZE JOB DESCRIPTION. SO THAT WE CAN MOVE NEXT, WHICH WAS THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE POSITION. AND THAT WON'T TALK ABOUT SOME NEXT STEPS TOWARD THE END OF THE, UH, PRESENTATION. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MARY COUNCIL AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA BRIEFLY SUMMARIZED. NOW KIND OF THE 30,000. FT LEVEL IS THE WORK THAT THE BENCHMARK COMMITTEE DID REALLY HATS ARE OFF TO THE FOLKS THAT YOU SELECTED AND THEN PUT IN THE WORK TO DO YOUR BENCHMARK COMMITTEE AS A REMINDER. THE PURPOSE OF THAT COMMITTEE WAS TO COME UP WITH THE SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES. FOR THE POSITION OF DUNCANVILLE CITY MANAGER BECAUSE YOUR NEEDS ARE NOT THE SAME AS OTHER CITIES NEEDS AND ULTIMATELY WHAT YOU CAN READ HERE ON THE SLIDE. THESE ARE THE FIVE SUMMARY AREAS THAT CAME OUT OF A LITTLE OVER A TWO HOUR MEETING WITH THE BENCHMARK COMMITTEE OF EVERYONE GOING AROUND AND PROVIDING THEIR FEEDBACK AS TO WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. TO EXHIBIT THE KEY SUCCESS FOR YOUR NEXT CITY MANAGER CANDIDATE. SO I'M NOT GONNA READ THESE OUT LOUD. BUT YOU ALSO SEE THESE REFLECTED IN THE UPDATED JOB PRESCRIPTION THAT WILL PRESENT A LITTLE BIT LATER ON. SO WHEN YOU REALLY BOIL THAT DOWN INTO THREE BROAD CATEGORIES THIS THESE WERE THE OVERALL RESULTS, SO WE HAVE THIS BIG DISCUSSION WITH THE JOHN BENCHMARK COMMITTEE. AND THEN THEY ALSO ALL MEMBERS OF THAT COMMITTEE TOOK WHAT'S CALLED A JOB QUIZ. AND SO YOU HAVE THE DISCUSSION FIRST. THAT GETS EVERYBODY IN THE SAME SORT OF FRAME OF MIND. AND THEN EACH PERSON INDIVIDUALLY GOES THROUGH. IT TAKES THIS JOB QUIZ. WHICH ULTIMATELY IDENTIFIES THESE ELEMENTS THAT ARE ON THE SCREEN HERE. AND WHAT? WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR KEYS RELATED TO THEIR PERSONAL SKILLS, THEIR HORSEPOWER THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY SEE IF YOU THINK ABOUT A CAR. THIS IS THE STUFF THAT'S KIND OF UNDER THE HOOD THAT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY SEE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE POSITION AND THOSE ARE RANKED IN ORDER. SO PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY WAS THE
[00:10:06]
ELEMENT THAT CAME OUT ON TOP, FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY LEADERSHIP AND ALL OF THESE AGAIN ARE VERY IMPORTANT. BUT THOSE ARE THE ARE THE KEY PERSONAL SKILLS THAT THE COMMITTEE CAME UP WITH THAT THEY REALLY FELT LIKE WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT NEXT. YOU'VE GOT MOTIVATORS. SO THIS IS THE GAS IN THE TANK. IF YOU WILL, USING A CAR ANALOGY, THIS IS WHAT REALLY DRIVES THE PERSON. AND UM , HERE WITH TRADITIONAL REGULATORY THAT'S BASICALLY YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT RULES ARE FOLLOWED. UM THEORETICAL IS THE APPRECIATION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT KNOWLEDGE FOR KNOWLEDGE SAFE. THAT KIND OF THING. IT ISN'T THAT YOU KNOW, FOLKS, WITHOUT THESE THINGS CAN'T DO THE JOB, BUT HOW EASY IT IS FOR THEM TO ENGAGE IN THOSE KINDS OF BEHAVIORS. AND THEN THE LAST IS HOW THE PERSON DRIVING THIS THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN SEE, AND THE COMMITTEE REALLY FELT LIKE THAT A SENSE OF URGENCY. REALLY ACCOMPLISHING GOALS. UM AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, OUTLINE A VISION AND THEN STAY ON TASK TO ACCOMPLISH THAT WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. THE COMPETITIVE PIECE THERE IS NOT COMPETITIVE IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE. THIS IS THE WILL TO WIN AND AS IT APPLIES FOR THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, THE WILL TO WIN FOR DUNCAN. EXCELLENT. THIS IS WHAT WILL ULTIMATELY COMES. SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A JOB. JOBS REPORT THAT AFTER WE IDENTIFY YOUR FINALISTS YOU APPROVE OF THOSE FINALISTS AND WE SUBMIT THEM TO THE TRI METRICS. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS ASSESSMENT, AND IT WILL SPIT OUT A REPORT VERY SIMILAR TO THIS AND IT'S GOING TO SHOW HOW LITTLE THAT THAT CANDIDATE MATCHES RELATED TO THE IDEAL CANDIDATE THAT THE JOB BENCHMARK COMMITTEE CAME UP WITH. SO SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. THIS ISN'T A PASTOR FAIL KIND OF THING. SO EVEN IF LIKE IN THIS IN THIS HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE HERE WHERE SOMEONE HAS A LOT OF YELLOWS, AND THAT'S FAIR COMPATIBILITY. WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT DIRECTS US, MICHAEL AND I TO REALLY DIVE INTO THAT PERSON'S HISTORY AND THEIR SKILLS. ADDITIONAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS TO REALLY FLESH OUT AND SEE. WAS THIS JUST AN ARTIFACT THAT CAME UP ON THE ASSESSMENT? OR DOES IT REPRESENT A REAL GAP? BETWEEN THAT PERSON'S ABILITY TO PERFORM AS DUNCAN BILLS NEXT CITY MANAGER OR IS IT IS IT JUST AN ARTIFACT? SO THIS IS THIS IS WHAT IS SO AMAZING ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT WE UTILIZE IS IT REALLY HELPS AN INTERVIEWER TO DIVE IN AND DETERMINE IF THAT FITS IS PROPER. SO THESE ARE THE TOOLS THAT ARE COMING? OKAY. SO WITH THE. BENCHMARK ULTIMATELY, IF YOU ROLL EVERYTHING TOGETHER, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A STRONG ETHICAL LEADER. SOMEONE WHO CAN BUILD TEAMS UTILIZING THE EXISTING TALENT THAT'S ON BOARD. YOU WANT A GOOD STEWARD OF RESOURCES. UH SOMEONE WHO IS INCLUSIVE AND A UNIFIER AND SOMEBODY THAT DISPLAYS A LOT OF HIGH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PRESENTATION GOING THROUGH OUR SURVEY DATA AND THE INTERVIEWS THAT WE COLLECTED, YOU'RE GONNA START TO SEE OVERLAPS BETWEEN THOSE AND THOSE ARE THE PIECES THAT REALLY JUMP OUT AS WE IDENTIFY WHO THAT IDEAL CANDIDATE IS GOING TO BE. THANK YOU. BYE. RIGHT SO THE SURVEY FINDINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHARE SPECIFICALLY, UM, ARE ASSOCIATED WITH CREATING THIS JOB PROFILE FOR CITY MANAGER. WE LOOKED AT THREE KEY AREAS, THE FIRST BEING LEADER CHARACTERISTICS YOUR TEAM MEMBERS. YOUR STAFF WAS ASKED TO PUT THEMSELVES IN POSITION OF A LEADER. AND HOW DID THEY VIEW CERTAIN THINGS? OR HOW WOULD THEY APPROACHED CERTAIN THINGS WHETHER THEY WERE FORMER LEADER OR NOT FORMER LEADER AND WITHIN THAT THREE KEY AREAS REALLY CAME THROUGH A LIFE. NUMBER ONE ALL BELIEVE THAT DISCIPLINE IS IMPORTANT. BUT THEY ALSO FEEL THAT THE LEADER SHOULD USE KNOWLEDGE OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE MINISTERING DISCIPLINE. SO THAT KIND OF TIES BACK TO THE COMPONENTS ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT EQ EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. BUT WHAT IS THAT? ABOUT SOCIAL AWARENESS , SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND INTERPERSONAL AWARENESS OF PEOPLE, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SPEAKING TO, AND THERE IS A HIGH HIGH LEVEL OF AGREEMENT WITH THIS. THE SECOND AREA. WATER THAT REALLY STOOD OUT WAS THAT PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE ONLY FOR THEMSELVES. LEADERS CAN'T BE BLAMED OR TAKE CREDIT FOR OTHERS , AS YOU CAN SEE, THE VAST MAJORITY OF YOUR STAFF MEMBERS DISAGREE WITH THAT. AND WHAT THAT TELLS US IS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO SHARE IN THE SUCCESS AND THE HARDSHIP. AND THEY'RE WANTING A LEADER. THAT'S GONNA STAND IN THE GAP FOR THEM. IF THEY MAKE A MISTAKE, THEY'RE GOING TO FESS UP AND THEY'RE GONNA CONTINUE CONTINUE TO STEP FORWARD TO TRY TO RESOLVE THOSE ISSUES. AND THEN THE THIRD AREA THAT IS REALLY EXCITING IS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR STANDARDS.[00:15:02]
COLLECTING FOR STANDARDS TO BE ESTABLISHED BY THEIR LEADERS ROOM LOOKING FOR GOALS TO BE SET . THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THAT ROAD MAP TO BE LAID OUT FOR THEM, AND THEN THOSE GOALS WERE GOING TO HELP THEM. IT'S GONNA BE THE VEHICLE THAT'S GOING TO GET THEM THERE. THEY DO WANT GOALS TO BE MEASURED. THEY DO WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BOTH IN A POSITIVE WAY. BUT ALSO IN A NEGATIVE WAY OF CORRECTION IS NECESSARY, SO THAT IS REALLY EXCITING. THE SECOND AREA THAT WE WANTED THAT WE LOOKED AT WHERE THE TEAM CHARACTERISTICS SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW DO THEY FEEL EQUIPPED TO SUCCEED IN THE ROOM? UM HOW COMMITTED ARE THEY TO THE VISION AND THE MISSION OF THE CITY? THAT'S IMPORTANT. AH! HOW THEY FEEL THEIR AWARDS AND RECOGNITION IS GIVEN WITHIN THEIR TEAM. ORGANIZATION AND THEN LASTLY, COMMUNICATION. AND. HOW EFFECTIVE IS IT? SO AS YOU CAN SEE, IN THE RESPONSES ABOUT 60% I'M STAFFER NUMBERS STRONGLY AGREE THAT THEY RECEIVED TRAINING NEEDED TO DO THEIR JOBS , EFFECTIVELY THIS TIES INTO SOME OTHER RESPONSES THAT WE RECEIVED ABOUT WANTING A LEADER THAT'S GOING TO ENGAGE EMPLOYEES HELP THEM GROW, HELP THEM DEVELOP SO THAT THEY CAN BEST SERVE. THE CITY THAT SORT OF SOUNDS OF DR VILLE. AH THE COMMITMENT TO SHARED VISION. THIS IS REALLY EXCITING. YOU HAVE A VERY EXCITED AND ENGAGED WORKFORCE. THEY WANT THE BEST FOR THE CITY. THEY WANT THE CITY TO THRIVE. THEY WANT THE CITY, UM THE COMMUNITY TO THRIVE, NOT JUST SURVIVE. UM YOU KNOW, AS A COMES TO REWARDS AND RECOGNITION YOU CAN SEE THE VAST MAJORITY DON'T AGREE. NOW THIS COULD BE YOU KNOW, A SYMPTOM OF A FEW THINGS. THE CITY HAS GONE THROUGH A LOT OF TRANSITION. YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS YOU BROUGHT IN A NEW CEO. THERE WERE CHANGES WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. THERE WAS SOME RESTRUCTURING AND THOSE THINGS ANYTIME, CHANGE IMPACTS, WHETHER IT'S GOOD OR BAD, IT'S GOING TO IMPACT COHESION. IT'S GONNA IT HAS A, UH IT HAS THE ABILITY TO IMPACT MOTIVATION. AND WHEN WE IMPACT MOTIVATION IN A NEGATIVE WAY, WE SEE A COUPLE OF THINGS WE CAN SEE PERFORMANCE BE IMPACTED, AND WE CAN ALSO SEE WORK SATISFACTION. SO WE'VE ALL HEARD YOU KNOW THE PHASES, FORMING, STORMING NORMAN AND PERFORMING RIGHT WELL. THREE OF THOSE FOUR STAGES ARE HIGHLY, UH, CONFLICTUAL. GOOD NIGHT HAVE TO BE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH STAGES OF CONFLICT. SO THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY ROLES, NORMAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND START TO BUILD COHESION. SO WHEN YOU MOVE FROM A PERIOD OF TRANSITION, AND NOW YOU'RE BACK INTO AROUND THE TRANSITION. WHAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS IS IT PERCEIVED OR IS IT REAL, AND THAT WILL BE INCOMING ON THE LEADERS TO ENGAGE WITH THE EMPLOYEES TO SEE THAT GLASS AREA MORALE AND STRESS AND AGAIN. THIS TIES BACK TO A LOT OF THE MOVING PIECES AND A LOT OF CHANGES THE CITY HAS COME THROUGH. YOU KNOW THE MAJORITY OF RESPONSES. YEAH SAID THAT MEMBERS POSITIVELY DEAL WITH HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS AND THE ORGANIZATION OF COMPETITION. BUT THAT'S ONLY 50% OF THE RESPONDENTS. THE OTHERS WERE EITHER NEITHER, OR THEY DISAGREE. SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING WE SEE IN TRANSITION LEVELS OF STRESS. YOU CAN SEE A PLAY OUT WITH PEOPLE BECOMING ANXIOUS, BECOMING FEARFUL. YOU CAN SEE. YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THOSE STRESS POINTS, YOU MAY SEE CHARACTERISTICS THAT OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T SAY. SO THAT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT AS WELL AS HOW THEY FELT THEY FEEL RESPECTED BY THEIR CHAIN OF COMMAND AND THE MAJORITY OF THE RESPONSES, YOU KNOW, JUST UNDER 60% AGREED. AGAIN. WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A SYMPTOM. CHANGE AND HAVING NEW LEADERS AND I HAVING TIME TO DEVELOP THAT INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP, OR IF IT'S REAL, BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU KNOW THIS SO THAT YOU KNOW, THREW THAT ENGAGEMENT PIECE CAN BE ADDRESSED. IF IT IS A PERCEPTION, WE CORRECT THE PERCEPTION. IF IT'S REALITY. WE CHANGE OUR BUSINESS. SO WHY IS THIS ALL IMPORTANT? WELL THERE ARE IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. NOW THIS IS A WORD CLOUD IN MY KIDS GREAT AT FINDING THIS, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU JUST BLAME IT BIGGER WORDS. THOSE WERE THE MOST FREQUENT REFERENCES AND COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN REFERRED TO A LOT, UH, EMPLOYEES TRUST FEEDBACK YOU KNOW IN THESE ARE IN THE CONTEXT OF YOU KNOW PEOPLE WANTING TO BE HELD[00:20:03]
ACCOUNTABLE. PEOPLE WANTING THAT FEEDBACK ON HOW CAN I IMPROVE? AND SOMETIMES WE IMPROVE WHEN WE REALIZE HEY, WE DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB. AND SOMEBODY SITS DOWN WITH US, AND THEY BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION, AND THEN THERE WALKING SIDE BY SIDE TO HELP US DO IT BETTER NEXT TIME. SOME OF THE QUALITATIVE SURVEY FINDINGS AND THESE WORDS AND STATEMENTS MADE I WON'T READ EACH OTHER'S REFUNDABLE. BUT HERE'S A STRONG ONE. LEADERS MUST MODEL THE WAY LEADERS MUST ALSO CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO. WE'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT WANTING TO IGNITE INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY. YEAH THERE'S A LOT OF TEAM MEMBERS WITH A LOT OF IDEAS. AND YOU KNOW, WITH AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY THEY NOT SHARED THEM. WHETHER IT'S THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE HEARD.OR MAYBE THEY CAN SHUT DOWN IN THE PAST. MAYBE IT'S ANOTHER REASON, BUT THEY'RE WANTING TO LEADER THAT EMBRACES THAT. YEAH THE NEXT ONE LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EXECUTION COMPLETION TIMELINES TEAM SHOULD BE ABLE TO WEIGH IN AS NECESSARY AND BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
LEADERSHIP LISTEN AND DETERMINE THE BEST PATH. ALL THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS A VOICE. EVEN IF THE DECISION IS ONE THAT THEY MAY NOT AGREE WITH. IF WE INCLUDE THEM IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS, WHEN WE CAN. SOMETIMES WE CAN'T RIGHT. BUT WHEN WE CAN UH, THAT GOES A LONG WAY AND BUILDING THOSE SECRECY CORRECT, WHICH IS THE EMOTIONAL BANK ACCOUNT LEADER HAVING A FOLLOWER. SO FROM THE SURVEY DATA WE CLEANED THIS. STAFF. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY. BOTH POSITIVE AND. WHEN THEY DO A GOOD JOB THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR IT. WHEN THEY DON'T THEY WANT IT BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION. AND SOMEBODY TO WALK SIDE BY SIDE WITH THEM TO HELP THEM GET BETTER TO HELP THEM IMPROVE. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER. YOU KNOW A LOT OF WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE ONE ON ONES MORE TRANSACTIONAL. SOME PEOPLE DESCRIBED IT AS CORPORATE LEADERSHIP STYLE WHENEVER WE ASKED HIM FOR THE TRAITS. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY DESCRIBED MORE TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP ENVIRONMENT THEY WANT TO TRANSFORMATION LEADER TERMS OF YEARS WHERE SERVING LEADERSHIP SITUATIONAL LEADERS. THOSE LEADERS THAT TOUCH US INSIDE UH , TO GAIN CONSENSUS, NOT JUST COMPLIANCE. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING. THEY WANT SOMEONE.
COMMUNICATOR OPEN COMMUNICATOR AND DISASTER COMMUNICATOR, AND YOU MIGHT SEE THAT AGAIN. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY A LOT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT INSTABILITY THAT CORRECTIONS WANTING THOSE GOALS WANTING TO SEE THAT ROAD. LIKE IT OUT, SO THEY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING, AND THEY KNOW WHAT ROLE THEY PLAY GETTING SITTING THERE. BRIEFLY COUNCIL THE LAST THING THAT WE DID IN TERMS OF OUR ASSESSMENT IS WE MET WITH INDIVIDUALS AND HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE, REALLY, WE CONDUCTED THIS COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT ULTIMATELY DETERMINE WHO'S GONNA BE THAT IDEAL CANDIDATE BY CHECKING IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS, ONE WITH THE BENCHMARK COMMITTEE THAT THE COUNCIL ESTABLISHED ONE WITH COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT SURVEY TO ALL OF STAFF AND ONE WITH DETAILED INTERVIEWS WITH STAFF MEMBERS AS WELL. SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR WHERE THOSE PARALLELS ARE AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL SUMMARIZE QUICKLY. HERE THESE ARE SOME SAMPLE INTERVIEW RESPONSES AND WE'VE BROKEN THE MOUNT INTO FOUR BROAD AREAS, SO SOME OF THE STRENGTHS FOR DUNCANVILLE STRONG COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEMBERS FROM ACROSS YOUR DEPARTMENT'S TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERACTING WITH THE COMMUNITY. UH HUH. AND THOSE STRONG POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS FOR SOME AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT AGAIN? WE MENTIONED COMMUNICATION EARLIER AND A LOT OF STUFF MEMBERS, MENTIONING SOMETHING THAT THEY REFERRED TO AS SELECTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY WHERE SOME INDIVIDUALS MAY BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY OTHERS. SOME KEY SUCCESS MILESTONES WE WANT TO REWARD CONTRIBUTIONS WHILE ALSO ADDRESSING POOR OR LOW PERFORMANCE SO AGAIN THAT POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ACCOUNTABILITY AND SOME OF THE KEY ATTRIBUTES THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IN THE NEXT CITY MANAGER THAT PROFESSIONAL COMPETENT VISIONARY WHO CAN ALSO EXECUTE AND THAT GOES BACK TO GOLD SETTING OF ESTABLISHING THAT VISION, COMMUNICATING IT BUT ESTABLISHING MEASURABLE MILESTONES THAT WE CAN TRACK OUR SUCCESS AND SEE IF WE'RE DEFINITELY ACHIEVING. SO WE SEE THIS COMMONALITY BETWEEN THOSE THREE MAJOR SOURCES OF DATA. THIS IS IMPORTANT. WE START TO SEE THE CONGRUENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT STANDS OUT AS WE BUILD THINGS LIKE A MODIFIED JOB DESCRIPTION. SO WHAT THIS TELLS US IS THAT WE DO HAVE A GOOD AND I JUST LOOKED
[00:25:05]
GOOD BENCHMARK FROM ONE PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS AND CITY ADOPTED. YOU'RE ABLE TO HEAR FROM YOUR GOVERNING MEMBERS OF YOUR GOVERNMENT BODY YOU'RE ABLE TO HEAR FROM MEMBERS OF YOUR STAFF AND YOUR ABLE TO HEAR FROM MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMUNITY WORKING IN CONCERT.THEY'RE PROVIDED THOSE RESULTS. SO THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING THAT PROCESS, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES A LOT OF CITIES, THEY JUST MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY OR THE OTHER ONES THAT SIT ON THE BENCH, MARK, AND I THINK, UH, THAT WORKS FOR THEM. BUT I THINK WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP, AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF THE YOUR FRIEND COMPONENTS AND DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY. YOU GET RICHER DATA, YOU GET A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. AH, ON WHAT PEOPLE WANT FOR YOUR SEVEN.
OKAY SO WHAT'S BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU THAT MICHAEL HAND IT OUT WAS JOB DESCRIPTION THAT'S BEEN MODIFIED TO REFLECT SOME OF THE SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES. SO WE SPOKE ABOUT, BUT WE ALSO WENT THROUGH AND WE ELIMINATED SON, ANTIQUATED ESAS, WHICH OUR KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES AND THEN WE WENT THROUGH AGAIN TO EDIT FOR YOUR GRAMMAR, ANY TYPOS BORN FIT AND THOSE THINGS ANYTHING HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW OR EDITIONS? ANYTHING OBVIOUSLY , REDLINED ARE RECOMMEND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ELECTIONS. WHAT WE'RE SEEKING TONIGHT IS, UH, YOU KNOW. APPROVAL ON THIS JOB DESCRIPTION BECAUSE THIS WILL BE PART OF THE ADVERTISING MATERIALS TO PROMOTE POSITION.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER QUESTIONS THAT ARE WITHIN THE JOB SCRIPT IN THAT WE NEED CLARIFICATION ON ONE IS COUNCIL WILLING TO GIVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE SELECTED CANDIDATES TO RELOCATE. THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE BECAUSE THERE IS A RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT. AND THEN SECOND AS A RELATES TO THE CMA CREDENTIAL E RIGHT NOW IT'S LISTED AS A PREFERRED. DO YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT OR DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT MORE OF A MANDATORY CREDENTIAL E. UNDER? I'VE BEEN IN A MOMENT APARTMENTS. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR THE JOB DESCRIPTION, PLEASE ASK.
YEAH. NOT QUITE YET. YEAH WE'RE GONNA STOP HEARING THE WOMAN. SURE. THEY WANTED TO STRUGGLE ON THIS TO MIKE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE WE NEED TO PUSH THAT OUT WITH ADVERTISEMENTS. YES, I HOPE I'M NOT SURE. PARTY. I SEE. MAYBE. YEAH SENSE THAT CERTIFICATION.
SO CAN YOU A LOT OF INSIGHT ON THAT. IF YOU RECOMMEND WE KEEP THE THAT'S RIGHT NOW IT'S A PREFERENCE OR WHAT IT IS A CERTIFICATE SHOWS THAT THEY COMPLETED CERTAIN PROGRAMS. TO THE ROLE OF CITY MANAGER WITHIN, YOU KNOW, SUPPORT GOVERNMENTS. UM AND I, CMA IS SIMILAR TO OTHER PROFESSIONAL GROUPS WHERE THEY ESTABLISHED. YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE METRICS ARE FOR ATTAINMENT OF THAT CREDENTIAL. OKAY MEANINGFUL EQUITY IN ICU. I AM A FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAY. INTERNATIONAL CITY MANAGERS ASSOCIATION. AND THEN YOU HAVE A STATE LEVEL T T M. HE'S HERE, MAN. I ALWAYS GET THOSE TRANSPOSED BECAUSE I THINK OF THE M P A. AH! PARTY PCH. VERY COUNCIL. SOMETHING TO CONSIDER IN TERMS OF, OBVIOUSLY IF YOU MAKE IT A REQUIRED UH, IS THAT DONE. MAKES YOUR GATE A LITTLE BIT NARROWER. UH AND IT COULD BE THAT YOU HAVE A PERSON WITH A MASTER'S DEGREE THAT IS CREDENTIAL BY TCM. A. BUT NOT I SEEM. YEAH AH, SO THAT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. IF YOU DO CHANGE IT FROM A PREFERRED TO REQUIRE IT WILL NARROW YOUR GATES A LITTLE BIT. IT'S MORE OF A DEMONSTRATION OF INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE BASED, BUT B REQUIREMENTS WITH THE EDUCATION IN THE YEARS OF SERVICE HAS MINIMAL. THE ASSUMPTION CAN BE MADE. INSTITUTIONAL ANALOGY. YES. FOR THE POSITION, SO RIGHT NOW IT'S LISTED AS PREFERRED. BUT NOT MANDATORY. SO TOO. GO BACK TO THE STUDENT'S QUESTION.
UH YOU'D LIKE US TO DECIDE ALL THIS TONIGHT. YES, SIR. OKAY, THEN TAKE A CONSENSUS. I WAS
[00:30:04]
JUST YES, I WOULD TAKE A CONSENSUS. WHAT YOU MAY WANT TO DO IS LOOK AT IT. YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO GET ON THURSDAY HAS TURNED INTO THURSDAY AND FLAT. ROCKET. THOSE TWO BEAUTIFUL TIME . THAT WOULD BE FINE. I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT OUR GOAL IS TO TRY TO HAVE THE POSITION POSTED NO LATER THAN TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. UM SO THAT SHOULD WORK. AND WE CAN WORK THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SO WHAT? WHAT WAS THE APARTMENT FOR AS FAR AS ESTABLISHMENT RESIDENTS HOW MANY MONTHS AND WE GIVE THEM BEFORE? IT WASN'T LISTED, SIR.NO I DON'T THINK WE WELL, YOU'LL NEVER HEAR YOU. TELL US WHETHER OR NOT TO LOSE THE TIME PERIOD.
I THINK WE'RE LOOSE ON THE TIME PERIOD AND THE REASON WHY I THINK BECAUSE THE MARKET SO TIGHT TO FIND SOMETHING. IS NOT EASY. I THINK THAT'S TRUE TODAY . YEAH LIKE THAT'S TRUE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING ABOUT THURSDAY. SO WHAT WOULD BE A REASONABLE EXPECTED? AH, SIX MONTHS YEARS, 61. THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS HERE MANY YEARS YEARS, STRETCHING YAHOO! DON'T THINK SIX MONTHS. AND THEN ENCOURAGE THE C N A. MY SERVANT PERIOD OF TIME AFTER ALL. ZONE MAY NOT VIEW IT AS BENEFICIAL IDEAS. IT STRENGTHENS THE INTEGRITY PEACE. THANK YOU DON'T WANT. THAT BRINGS UP THE QUESTION. HOW LONG IS THAT POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN THAT CERTIFICATION? I WOULD NEED TO RESEARCH THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN THROUGH SO I CAN'T TELL YOU EXPERIENCE. THAT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT ON THE BASIS THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO IT'S TOO FAR OUT , TAKES YOU A YEAR TO GET THAT CERTIFICATION THAT MIGHT BE MIKE . THAT'S MY OPINION, SO RIGHT RIGHT NOW CONTRACT. WELL OKAY, THAT BUT THAT DELAYS THE POSTING NO RIGHT AND THEIR CONTRACT REQUIRE WITHIN A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME. IF YOU DO SELECT THEM, AND THEY DON'T HAVE IT.
JUST LET THEM KNOW THAT AT SOME POINT IN TIME, WHICH IS NEGOTIABLE. THEY CAN. GET THAT I SEE. AND YOU EXPECT THEM TO ATTAIN THAT IF THEY'RE CHOSEN LOOKING RIGHT CONTRACT BECAUSE YOU MADE A GREAT CANDIDATE. I SOMEONE THAT DIDN'T JOIN NICELY. OKAY GOT HIRED, AND THEN THEY JOINED A GREAT MATCH. BUT HAD THAT BEEN A PRETTY BREAKFAST WOULD NEVER FOUND THEM. BASED ON THE JOB BENCHMARK AND ONE OF THOSE KEY DRIVERS IS THEORETICAL. WHICH IS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PERSON THAT ONCE IT ENGAGES IN CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, SO THAT'S NOT GONNA BOTHER PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW. CORBY, A SHOWSTOPPER. QUESTION FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY SO AH! WE SAY ESTABLISHED RESIDENCY. CAN YOU EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT THAT UNDER THE CHARTER RESIDENCY MEANS LIVE HERE? PROPERTY OWNERSHIP PROBLEM. YOU KNOW WHAT RESIDENCY THE SAME AS BEING A VOTE. WELL. BUT I'M GOING TO SAY I THINK THE DOCUMENT LOOKS GOOD . I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO SPECIFICALLY HAVE LASTING REMAINS. THE ATTORNEYS MENTIONED THAT. YOU KNOW, WE CAN WRITE THAT IN THERE. WELL YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT. DOCUMENT LOOKS GOOD. ABSOLUTELY. LET'S GO. SO UM SO NO, I CMA CREDENTIALS AT ALL. I THINK SOMEBODY CANDIDATE WOULD LIST IT. AS PART OF THEIR THINKING, I DON'T THINK BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT REQUIREMENT. THANK YOU. YES, SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT. OKAY, WELL, I'M NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF NOT IN THE SENSE I'M GETTING ON THAT. AND THEY GO CERTIFICATION. CONTAINER. IT JUST MAKES YOU STAY CURRENT WITH WITH WHAT'S OUT THERE. SO I DON'T THINK IT. I THINK IT'S LIKE THE TERM SAID WE SHOULD SAY THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO WE EXPECT THEM TO DO WITHIN THE AMOUNT OF TIME WHATEVER. SIX MONTHS COME BACK THURSDAY, WITH EACH ONE OF US WILL DETERMINE WHAT WE THINK IS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT
[00:35:06]
WAS DOING WITH THAT WOULD BE WOULD DROP THE CONTRACT. YES RIGHT. WELL WE'LL DO THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO SAY IS IT'S NOT REQUIRED. IT'S A PREFERENCE WE EXPECT WITHIN IF SELECTED, WE WOULD EXPECT THEM TO ATTAIN THAT CERTIFICATION WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. YEAH. THEY'RE SELECTED CANDIDATE TO BE SELECTED. WE CAN TALK ABOUT WITH THEM ONE TIME. TAKING ON A BIG NEW JOBS. SO YOU MAY WANT TO GIVE ME 18 MONTHS, NOT A YEAR. THAT'S REASONABLE. MIRACLES ARE VERY, UH, SOME OF OUR MEMBERS HERE IN THE GALLERY WERE HELPFUL BY PULLING UP SOME INFORMATION THAT'S HELPFUL ONCE YOU APPLY FOR IT IF YOU MEET THE MINIMUM EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS, IT TAKES ABOUT 3.5 MONTHS FOR THE PROCESS TO GO THROUGH TO THE PANTS, SO IT DOES TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, BUT IT IT DEPENDS UPON HOW THE PERSON'S LEVEL OF EDUCATION AND THEIR LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE FOR WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY. JUST HEARING SOMETHING AGAIN FOR CONSIDERATION. OUR MAIN REQUEST WAS. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS A REQUIREMENT? OR DO YOU WANT TO MAKE IT A PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS? MAKING A PREFERRED QUALIFICATION. BASED ON WHAT I'M HEARING ADDRESSES MOST OF YOUR ISSUES AND WOULD ALLOW US NOT TO DELAY OUR PROCESS. WE DON'T WANT TO NARROW THE POOL. BLOCK TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A BROAD ENOUGH NET SO WE CAN GET SOME GOOD CANDIDATES. BUT FOR ME IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I WOULD PREFER IF THEY OBTAINED FOR THEM CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. YES, MA'AM. ALRIGHT OKAY, OKAY. GREAT THIS IS FINE PREFERENCE FOR NOW, BUT ALSO OKAY? CONTRACTS. TALK ABOUT SOLID GOOD. DON. YEAH MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE COGNIZANT. WHAT MICHAEL JUST SAID. YOU KNOW WHAT THE WHAT THE DRILL IS, IF THEY'RE IN UPPER LEVEL MANAGERS GOING TO APPLY FOR THIS CHILD AND MOST OF YOUR PROFESSIONALS, CITY MANAGERS IF THEY'VE NOT YET ACHIEVED IT. THEY PROBABLY ALREADY BEEN PLANNING TO ACHIEVE IT'S GREAT NETWORKING. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE COME TO CONSENSUS.PREFERENCE AND THEN WHEN WE GET DOWN TO IT WILL WORK IT OUT, CONTRACTUALLY. WE GOT OKAY. SO ARE WE MOVING DESCRIPTION FOR THIS JOB DESCRIPTION? THEN? WE'RE GOOD. YES GET IT. CLEAN, COFFEE, CLEAN FORMAT. ABOUT THAT. I'LL BE VERY CHOICE. THE MAYOR WANTS TO PLAY. SO WE'LL GET THE MAYORS FROM HIM. WE NEED A COPY OF CENTER. YES WE ARE. YOU HAVE A COPY FOR THE MAYOR.
SO DO WE WANT TO WAIT TILL AFTER YOUR THURSDAY? I HAVE A TEXT FROM THE MAYOR. ODDLY ENOUGH, HMM. LIKE TO HEAR? YES NOT SAYING THE JOB DESCRIPTION UNTIL JUST NOW. THERE'S NOT ALLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO ADEQUATELY REVIEW AND APPROVE IT NEEDS 2 TO 3 BUSINESS DAYS. HE'S GOT TO THURSDAY. IF YOU JUST INITIALLY OR MAKE COMMENTS AND THEN WRITE YOUR NAME ON IT, WE CAN GET IT TO HOLD THEM UP. GET THE MAYORS AND EVERYONE'S COMMENTS THINKING ABOUT IT. ALL RIGHT, WELL, WHEN I SAY TRASH THINK OVERALL, WE HAVE A CONSENSUS TO BEGIN WITH. BARBECUE OKAY? I WAS TRAINED.
DOMINATE THE MAYOR THE MAYOR AND PUT IT DOWN. MHM ME THAT WAS HANDED OUT TO YOU IS THE DRAFT OF THE RECRUITMENT BROCHURE. DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO ANY OF THE FINDS. UH THAT'S JUST BAD PRINT PRINT JOB BASED ON MY BAD SETTINGS THAT DIGITAL COPIES LOOK GREAT, BUT. WE WANTED TO TRY TO CAPTURE EVERYTHING THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT. YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS BEING ONE OF THE BEST SOUTHWEST CITY'S LOCATION AND REALLY BROAD AND ROBUST DALLAS COUNTY.
POPULATION ACHIEVEMENTS. POLICE DEPARTMENT ACCREDITED POLICE CARBON YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEN ALSO IN YOUR MANY PARKS. SENATOR HIGH CONTROLS SO THAT WE CAN REPRESENT THAT THAT MOBILITY . ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO PAGE BY PAGE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK OR INPUT.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. CAN WE GET A COPY OF THIS KITCHEN? YES, SIR. QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. OKAY SO WE'RE GONNA MOVE RIGHT ON TO THE CITY MANAGERS FISCAL YEAR PROPOSED BUDGET YEAH . THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM COUNCIL. WE'VE GOT TWO PRESENTATIONS AND MIND. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY SO YOU LET YOU KNOW HOW TO PROCEED THAT WE BOTH OKAY, UM, MELON COUNCIL. UM WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS YOUR FY 24 PROPOSED BUDGET BOOK. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK. UH IT'S 200 SOMETHING PLUS PAGES. THE VERY FIRST DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE. IS MY BUDGET LETTER TO YOU. MUCH OF WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR IN JUST A MOMENT IS CONTAINED IN THE BUDGET LETTER. UM THIS IS A VERY, VERY HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW. UM WE'RE NOT GOING TO PRESENT A LOT OF DETAILS TO YOU TODAY. WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU WITH THE BUDGET BOOK SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO GO THROUGH THE BUDGET BOOK BEFORE OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR ALMOST 10. SO THE PURPOSE FOR THE BUDGET WHEN WE THINK ABOUT OUR BUDGET, MOST PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY OPEN ON THE GREEN SECTION THERE AT THE PLAN. FINANCIAL PLAYER THAT PROVIDES
[00:50:04]
AN EXPLANATION FOR THE STRUCTURE OPERATIONS. MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY WON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE OTHER COLORS. IT'S A POLICY. OUR DOCUMENT THAT PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT POLICIES GOALS OBJECTIVES FOR THE YEAR. IT'S ALSO A GOD ACTS AS A GOD. OPERATIONS GOD EACH DEPARTMENT BY LINCOLN RESOURCES TO IMPROVE MORE PLANS. IT ALSO COMMUNICATES NOT ONLY TO YOU BUT TO OUR PUBLIC. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE OBVIOUSLY OPPOSED TO OUR WEBSITE. BUDGET CALENDAR STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING EXTREMELY HARD FOR SEVERAL MONTHS PREPARING BECAUSE THAT FLY 24 BUDGETS. IF YOU LOOK AT JULY WE JUST RECEIVED OUR CERTIFIED PROPERTY APPRAISALS ON JULY 25TH. AND SO WE HAD TAKE THOSE PROPERTY APPRAISAL NUMBERS AND HELP IDENTIFY ESTIMATED REVENUES THAT HELP US PUT TOGETHER A BUDGET. IN THE CITY MANAGER IS REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE BUDGET PRIOR TO AUGUST 1ST OF EACH YEAR, ACCORDING TO OUR CHARTER. WHEN YOU LOOK AT. YOU LOOK AT AUGUST . OBVIOUSLY AUGUST 1ST IS TODAY , SO WE'RE INTRODUCING THE BUDGET TO YOU AND WE HAVE A PROPOSED BUDGET WORKSHOP ON AUGUST 10TH WHERE WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSED TAX RATE.THEN WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET AND THE TAX RATE ON OFFICER 24 AND THEN COUNCIL WILL ADOPT THE BUDGET AS WELL AS THE TAX RATE. OBVIOUSLY 29. SO BUDGET PRIORITIES AND STRATEGIES AND INITIATIVES. I WANT TO FOCUS ON PEOPLE, AND THE FIRST ONE IS INTERNAL COMPETITIVE SALARIES AND BENEFITS ON AUGUST THE 10TH . WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A VERY OPEN AND CANDID CONVERSATION ABOUT SOURS. BENEFITS WILL TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF VACANCIES IN OUR CITY WILL TELL YOU THAT WE NEED TO EXPORT T. M. R S. UM COLA'S AND UPDATED SERVICE CREDITS AND THEN WE ALSO WANTED TO FOCUS ON CUSTOMER SERVICE, MAKING SURE THAT WE RAISED THE BAR AND MAKING SURE THAT WE PROVIDE OUR CITIZENS WITH THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE. WE POSSIBLY CAN. YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT PROJECT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD OVER THE PAST? SEVERAL MONTHS IS PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT COMPLETE. SO THIS BUDGET ADDRESSES THOSE THINGS AND YOU ONLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT PLANNING TO LOOK INTO THE FUTURE. HOW CAN WE PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE WE CAN? HOW CAN WE STRATEGIZE FOR THE FUTURE? JUST THE BUDGET SNAPSHOT. TAX RATE REDUCTION. REDUCING THE COLOR PROPERTY TAX RATE. PROMPT 01650. 0.6460. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE TAX RATE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS LOWER THAN OUR CURRENT TAX. WAIT, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO THE COUNCIL IS TO YOU LIES THE VOTER APPROVAL, RIGHT TALKING MORE ABOUT THAT ON AUGUST 10TH. THE SECOND. ONE IT SAYS INCREASED SENIORS OVER 65 AND DISABLED HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO RAISE THAT TO 35,000, AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE. INCREASE AND WATER AND SEWER RATES AS A FIVE YEAR RIGHT INCREASED STRATEGY. 2% ADJUSTMENT TO RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL GARBAGE RATES FOR CPI INCREASES. ENHANCE SURFACES ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT COMPLETIONS AND THEIR PROPOSED UPDATES TO THE MASSIVE SCHEDULE. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS NEXT SLIDE IS THE TOTAL REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES. AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK IN YOUR BUDGET BOOK, AND YOU LOOK AT MY LETTER THAT I HAVE TO YOU WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT ON THE SECOND PAGE PAGE TWO, IT SAYS GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED INTO FUND TYPES. SO ESSENTIALLY, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT. THE GENERAL FARM. WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT HARD, TERRY, WHICH IS THE SAME THING AS OUR ENTERPRISE. SPECIAL YEARS CAPITAL REPLACEMENTS. AND AS YOU GO THROUGH YOUR BUDGET LETTER AT THE END OF THOSE PARAGRAPHS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THOSE VARIOUS THOSE VARIOUS FONDS. AND THEN THE PROPERTY TAXES. WHEN I SPOKE EARLIER ABOUT THE CERTIFIED PROPERTY TAX VALUES IS WHAT I'M REFERRING TO. THIS NUMBER HERE IS IN THE BILLIONS. SO THIS IS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AND THIS IS FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS,
[00:55:04]
PURPLE PERSONAL PROBLEMS. IN THE CITY RECEIVES ONLY 20. 26% OF CITIZENS. TOTAL TAX BILL. MOST PEOPLE ASSUME THAT THE MAJORITY OF THEIR PROPERTY TAXES IS GOING TO THE CITY. BUT THAT'S THAT'S NOT THE CASE. AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE DOLLAR BILL FRENCH DOWN THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT 51 4% CITY OF BALCONY, ALWAYS GONNA GET 26 POINT. ABOUT 2% THAT YOU GOT PARKLAND. YOU GOT DALLAS COUNTY. SO THIS IS THE GENERAL FUND. THIS IS OUR OPERATING FUNDS. THE MAJORITY OF THE, UM.REVENUE THAT COMES TO THE GENERAL FINDINGS. PROPERTY TAXES AS YOU KNOW, AND IN THE SECOND UM, HIGHEST IS OUR SALE TAXES AND THEN THE OTHER PERCENTAGES IDENTIFIED EVERY LAW. AND THEN, UH, CURTIS PREVIOUSLY WERE SERVICE ORGANIZATION. AND SO THE MAJORITY OF THE EXPERIENCE IS SALARIES AND BENEFITS. 63.8% CONTRACTUAL SERVICES, ALL THE CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OUR REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS, THOSE CONTRACTS THINGS THAT WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO. AND THEN LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, IS THE EXPENDITURE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE GENERAL FUND OR SOME L SALARY ADJUSTMENTS TO REFLECT THE COMPENSATION STUDY FINDING THE TOTAL IMPACT WAS 5.4% INCREASE FROM THE FY 23 BUDGET. 2% DECREASE IN MEDICAL INSURANCE RATE IN OUR HR DIRECTOR IS GOING TO TALK MORE ABOUT THAT ON AUGUST 10TH. AND THEN WE HAVE A NEW PART TIME POSITION. THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST THAT IS A POSITION THAT WILL BE PAID FOR BY ALL OF THE BEST STOP WEST CITIES. ON THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES 9.2% INCREASE IN CONTRACTUAL SERVICES ARE REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS. THINGS THAT I'VE JUST SHARED WITH YOU.
PREVIOUSLY ONE TIME SERVICES BY THE FINANCE DIRECTOR, OUTSOURCED VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT REPAIRS.
THE SECOND BULLET POINT IS 25.8% INCREASE IN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SERVICES. THAT'S UM TOWER TECHNOLOGIES AND SWAGGER, ANNUAL MAINTENANCE. BEN 5.5% INCREASE IN SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS, AND THAT PRIEST CALLS FOR POLICE AND FIRE UNIFORMS AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES FOR ADVANCED LIVES AWARD FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEN UTILITY FUND. 0.5% DECREASE FROM FY 23 BUDGET. AND TRACKS WILL SERVICES ARE PROJECTED TO INCREASE FOR DALLAS WATER UTILITIES. TENTATIVE WATER AUTHORITY. SANITATION FINE 2.4% INCREASE FROM FY 23 BUDGET IN CREATION ALEX CAPITAL.
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS SUPPORT APPROXIMATELY $50,000 AND THE DRAINAGE FUND. EMERGENCY EROSION CONTROL CP. I UM PROGRAMS. PROJECTS AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. OVER A MILLION DOLLARS. AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST , ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. FATHER'S 18% INCREASE FROM HEALTH WISE 23 BUDGET THEN INVESTMENT IN REVITALIZING THE CITY SHOPPING CENTERS AND THEN THE NEW POSITION, WHICH IS NOT GOING TO BE IMPACTED THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND THAT'S DUE TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. NO QUESTION. AND SO THAT IS BASICALLY MY PRESENTATION HERE. AS I INDICATED. IT'S JUST VERY HARD PROFILE. WE'RE GOING TO REALLY GET INTO THE WEEDS ON AUGUST 10TH A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THAT BUDGET BOOK, LIKE JUST BRIEFLY SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF. PATROLLED UP THEIR SLEEVES. THEY WORKED VERY HARD DONE EVERYTHING THAT I'VE ASKED YOU TO PREPARE THE FY 24 PROPOSED BUDGET. IT IS DOWN YOUR BUDGET, THERE IS NO LONGER THE CITY INTERIM CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET IS THE CITY COUNCIL'S BUDGET TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO WAS IT AGAIN. WE'RE GONNA TALK VERY CANDIDLY ABOUT SALARIES AND BENEFITS. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO STAY COMPETITIVE, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP PEOPLE HELP ADDRESS. TURN ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT. THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL, AND IF YOU LIKE, I THINK FOR IT AND GET THROUGH WITH HIS PRESENTATION VERY QUICKLY. UM WELL, LET'S GO TO THAT BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO DON'T WE I GOT. I THINK YOU'RE GONNA DO 12. WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK? RIGHT AT SEVEN O'CLOCK RIGHT NOW. I WANT TO GIVE IT A FEW MINUTES AND GET THESE TWO PRESENTATIONS DEALS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. THANK YOU. MARY FOR EXAM COUNCIL FOR

AND SAID TO THEM THAT THEY'RE ASKING THAT THEY, UM BEYOND THE MACHINES ONLY 30 MINUTES BECAUSE HE'S GOTTEN SOME COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ON THE LORD BIKES. OVER 30 MINUTES, AND THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAT I NEED THEM. THAT'S NOT TRUE. BECAUSE THERE'S NOT MANY PEOPLE USE THOSE LOWER BIKES. I'D BE IN THAT GYM IN THAT RECREATION CENTER FITNESS ROOM FOR TWO HOURS. AND I OBSERVED, I'M VERY OBSERVANT. I DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT HE HAD THEM OUT THERE IN THAT SON. HE COULD HAVE ADDRESSED THAT TO THEM INSIDE. HE BYPASSED ME. HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO ME ABOUT IT. HE SAID.

YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT TRUE. THOSE THEY DON'T UM. THEY DON'T BE ON THOSE BIKES THAT LONG AND THERE THEY LOOK FORWARD TO THAT. HE SAID THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE THOSE BIKES TO THE SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER. AND THAT TO ME IS SECLUSION. WE ENJOY SITTING THERE IN FRONT OF THAT WINDOW. AND WHEN. FOR INSTANCE, ONE OF THE MEN COME HERE COMES MR TERRY . YOU KNOW, I MEAN, AND ONE DAY ONE OF THE LADIES. IT WAS TWO CARS OUT THERE ONE LIKE HER CAR . SHE WENT TO THE WRONG CAR.

WE ENJOY EACH OTHER. BUT I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD TAKE THAT FROM FROM THEM. UM AND MORE OF THE, UM KOUADIO FASTPITCH, ESPECIALLY THE DOOR BIKES, AND THEN HE SAID HE TOLD THEM THAT HE WAS GOING TO TELL EVERYBODY THAT THEY HAVE 30 MINUTES. AH! I SHARED WITH HIM A PLAN THAT WOULD WORK BETTER FOR THAT.

A TOTAL OF 10 MINUTES WILL BE PROVIDED FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR. A TOTAL OF 10 MINUTES WILL BE PROVIDED FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A TIME ON THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY, THANK YOU. NEED EMOTION. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY INDIVIDUALS HERE THAT WANT TO SPEAK? UM IN FAVOR OF THIS. PROPOSAL. THEY WANT TO SPEAK IN FAVOR. OKAY SEEING NONE. I WOULD ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE TO SPEAK. IN OPPOSITION TO IT. NO ONE HERE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY UM, ANY COUNCIL DISCUSSION AT THIS POINT, MISS GOODEN? THANK YOU. MAYOR.
PRETEND UM. SO I SAW IN THE APPLICATION OR THE PACKET. THAT THERE ARE ABOUT THREE WHO ARE UM . INTERESTED IN HAVING THIS FOR A CITY. IS THAT CORRECT? DID I READ THAT CORRECTLY? IT WAS ABOUT THREE INTERESTED PARTIES AND HAVING THIS TYPE OF ORDINANCE CREATED. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. HOW WE WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSPECTIONS AND MAKING SURE THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE AND STAYING IN COMPLIANCE. AND HOW WOULD WE REGULATED? SO IT WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO OUR CURRENT SHORT TERM RENTAL REGISTRATION PROCESS . IN FACT, A LOT OF THE LANGUAGE THAT, UH, IS PROPOSED MIRRORS THE SHORT TERM RENTAL REGISTRATION PROCESS. UM SO CITY STAFF WILL BE IN COMING ONTO THE STAFF TO MONITOR AND MAINTAIN THIS PROGRAM. SO WHEN WE SAY CITY STAFF WERE MEANING CODE ENFORCEMENT OR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES, ARE WE MEANING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUILDING INSPECTIONS. HAVE WE IDENTIFIED WHAT'S SPECIFIC DIVISION WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. SO UM, IT WOULD BE A TEAM EFFORT. IN PART, IT WOULD BE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WITH THE WITH THE INITIAL INTAKE OF THE OF THE OF THE APPLICATION . OBVIOUSLY THEY HAD TO GO TO THE SPECIFIC USE PERMANENT PROCESS, SO THERE'S AN INITIALS STOPPED THERE. AND THEN THERE'S INITIAL REGISTRATION. AND MAINTENANCE, BUT ALSO, UM YES, IF THEY IF THERE'S UH UM INCIDENCES WHERE. UH THIS THIS THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD NEIGHBORS WOULD BE CALLING IN, DEPENDING ON WHETHER IT'S NOISE OR THE NATURE OF THE INCIDENT. IT WOULD BE EITHER CODE OR WHICH IS NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES OR POLICE. IS THIS, UM SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TAKE ON AS FAR AS ADDITIONAL WORK ONTO OUR WORKLOAD. BEING THAT WE'RE ALREADY I WOULD ASSUME STRETCHED. CAN WE AFFORD TO TAKE ON ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO GO INSPECT. SO IT WOULD BE A CASE BY CASE BASIS FOR EACH, UM
[01:45:08]
ON EACH INDIVIDUAL BASIS. UH REALLY, THE GOAL IS TO, UM TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE WHO ARE WISHING TO GO BEYOND THE 30 DAYS AND LESS THAN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS. GIVING THEM A CATEGORY THAT THEY COULD OPERATE UNDER. SO IT WOULD BE AN EXTENSION OF SHORT TERM SHORT TERM RENTAL THAT IN THAT RESPECT THANK YOU. THE OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. OKAY I DO HAVE A QUESTION. UM IT KIND OF TIES INTO WHAT? MISS GOODEN. BROUGHT UP. AND THAT'S SIMPLY THAT. I BELIEVE I KNOW WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE. AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT OVERLOOKING ABUSES THAT COULD OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. WELL THERE'S ONLY THREE RIGHT NOW. YOU SAID THAT ARE APPLYING FOR THIS OR INTERESTED. THAT'S GOOD. BUT I THINK THERE'S MORE PEOPLE READ THROUGH THIS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE COVERED THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE COULD COME IN AND IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THEY COULD CIRCUMVENT THE BOARDINGHOUSE ORDINANCE AND ACTUALLY CREATE MORE OF A BOARDING HOUSE AND WHAT THIS IS INTENDED FOR? UM I THINK THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DO, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WITH THE WAY THAT THIS ORDINANCE OR THIS IS PRESENTED WITH THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT PROCESS OF COMING IN ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. UM IF IT WERE PERMITTED BY RIGHT. I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY. BUT GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE, UM THE BUILT IN PARAMETERS , ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS AND I THINK THAT, UH, I THINK THAT'S A IS A MINIMAL RISK. OKAY THANK YOU. FOLLOW UP TO THAT IS AGAIN SOMETHING YOU DISCUSSED IN RESPONDING TO MS. GOOD UM, I TRUST THAT WE HAVE A FOLLOW UP SYSTEM OR MONITORING SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE AGAIN THAT ONE OF THESE HOMES DOESN'T GET IN THE PROCESS, SEEMINGLY COMPLYING.AND THEN EVENTUALLY TURNED THIS INTO. I KNOW THEY'VE GOT AN ANNUAL REPORT. THEY HAVE TO FILE BUT HOW ARE WE MONITORING THEM? FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. WHAT? WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CATCHING SOMEONE IF THEY ACTUALLY TURNED IT INTO A GROUP GROUP HOME. SO THERE WOULD BE INSPECTION AND THEN INSPECTION PROCESS. UH THAT IN ANNUAL INSPECTION UH HUH. AND THEN ANNUAL INSPECTION FEE THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE, UH, ASSESSED AS WELL . SO THERE, THERE'S GOING TO BE , UH, CONSTANT MONITORING OF THE, UM THOSE WHO ARE ARE ABLE. TO APPLY AND SUCCESSFULLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TEMPORARY WORKFORCE. UH, USE SO THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MONITORING AND INSPECTION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. AND I HAVE TO CORRECT MYSELF HERE. I CAN SIT GROUP HOME. I'M AT BOARDING HOUSE SO BUT YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTION. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. MR COONS. THANK YOU, MAYOR, PROTEIN. SO THIS WOULD BE. YOU KNOW, BASED ON RECEIVING THAT'S BEING APPROVED FOR AN S U P IS THERE A CERTAIN TERM? BECAUSE SCP WOULD LAST OR WOULD IT BE JUST UNTIL AS LONG AS FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE PROPERTY CHANGE OWNERSHIP. I WOULD. THE S S U P STILL BE ON THERE. SO WHAT WOULD THE TERM BE LIKE SO THAT THAT WOULD BE DETERMINED AT THE AT THE POINT OF INCEPTION, SO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COULD RECOMMEND AH! A TIME LIMIT SUNSET ON ON THE S U P. AS COULD THIS THIS BODY? CAN ALSO RECOMMEND UM, TIME LIMITS ON THE ON THE SCP, SO THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF BEING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. AND THEN, UH, AGAIN. I THINK IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ASKED BUT AS FAR AS I GUESS THE ENFORCEMENT I'M STILL NOT SURE ABOUT. SO THIS IS TEMPORARY WORKFORCE HOUSING SO.
FOR TEMPORARY TEMPORARY WORK ASSIGNMENT CONTRACT TO ATTEND OR TO ATTEND VOCATIONAL OR OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING, RIGHT? SO IN THEORY THAT PEOPLE WHO BE USING STAYING IN THESE PROPERTIES WOULD BE EITHER WORKING SOMEWHERE OR GOING TO SCHOOL SOMEWHERE TEMPORARILY, RIGHT? AND SO HOW. CAN WE ENFORCE THAT? AND HOW DO WE KNOW IF PEOPLE AREN'T JUST STAYING THERE FOR IT'S JUST A LONG TERM RENTAL. SO UH, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. UH THE INTENT IS FOR,
[01:50:06]
UH, SAY A TRAVELING NURSE, OR, LIKE YOU MENTIONED SOMEONE WHO IS WORKING ON A TEMPORARY BASIS . HOWEVER UM, THE WAY THAT THE CODE IS WRITTEN, IT IS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. IT IS LIKE YOU LIKE YOU SAY BETWEEN 30 30 NIGHTS AND SIX MONTHS. SO THAT IS THE, UM. THAT'S THE TEETH THAT'S THAT'S BUILT IN. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY WERE TRYING TO MAKE YOU PROVE OF THAT YOU HAVE A PAY STUB. AND THAT'S YOUR WORKING IN THE AREA OR SO MANY MILES TO, UH TO THE RESIDENTS. SO IN OTHER WORDS, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PROVE WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE STAYING IN THE HOUSE OR ACTUALLY TEMPORARY WORKFORCE. GORGEOUS STAYING THERE. THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU. OKAY? COUNCILOR MATURE BROWN. THANKS. UM PAYING A. TRAVELER AND HEALTHCARE FOR 10 YEARS. I THINK IT IS GREAT TO HAVE THAT OPTION. I'M NOT ONE THAT SLEEPS VERY WELL IN A HOTEL WHEN I'M YOU KNOW WHEN I'M WORKING FOR NEXT TIME, UM, AT A FACILITY AND SO I THINK IT'S GOOD. UM AND TYPICALLY WILL HAVE A CONTRACT THAT SAYS THAT WE'RE AT THAT PLACE FOR X AMOUNT OF TIME, SO IT'S NOT. I MEAN, IT'S NOT HARD TO ASK FOR A CONTRACT. IF THAT'S WHAT I'VE FOCUSES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY OR WHATEVER, AND EVEN WITH IF IT'S COOL. I'M SURE THERE'S A SEMESTER TO SEMESTER.WHATEVER SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT CONCEPT. AND I THINK IT'S WOULD BE EASY ENOUGH TO HAVE A GUIDELINE IF WE SAID IT LIKE THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY NO FURTHER LIGHTS ON US WITH THAT I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION. SO MOVE. MOTION. BY SECOND. OKAY MOTION BY MACRON IT AND SECOND BY CHERRY BROWN. ALRIGHT, LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. OKAY THE MOTION PASSES. UM WITH MR KOONTZ AND MISS GOODEN. VOTING IN OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION. THANK YOU.

HOWEVER, THANKS THANKS SO I TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF COMING BY YOUR SHOP AND LOOKING AT THE A LOT OF YOU. I SELF AND I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT I SAW. AS FAR AS BULLET PROFESSIONALISM, UH, PROUD OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND LOOKING AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS, THE AGE GROUP AND IN DUNCANVILLE, YOU KNOW, I NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO COLLEGE. NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD TO GO TO COLLEGE AND SO BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY WITH HIGHER LIVING WAGE THAT THEY ACTUALLY TAKE OWNERSHIP AND PROUD NOUS OF, UM . I'M I'M ANYTHING FOR AMOUNT FOR ANYTHING THAT ENCOURAGES AND POWERS INSPIRES OUR YOUTH. SO THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN KUNZ.THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM. UH MAYBE HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. FOR YOU, MR WARREN.
UM AND YOU KNOW, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M SPEAKING TO SO I DON'T KNOW THE APPLICANT PERSONALLY, BUT EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN VERY, UM. EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD HAS BEEN GOOD. I'LL SAY THAT, BUT I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE USE. SCHOOL TRADE SCHOOL VOCATION BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT THIS USE AT THIS LOCATION. UM AND AGAIN EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE COLLEGE. I'VE LOOKED IT UP. EVERYTHING THAT LOOKS. LIKE SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY WANT IN DUNCANVILLE. UM AND WE WANT TO SUPPORT IN DUNCANVILLE. AND SO, BUT I DO WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS PARTICULAR LAND. USE THIS PROPERTY SO THE WHO'S THE APPLICANT ON THIS. THE APPLICANT IS MR MR THREE WHOLE. RIGHT? SO, YES, UM DOES HE OWN THE PROPERTY? NO, THE, UM. THE PROPERTY OWNER IS I BELIEVE IT'S MONTE ANDERSON AND OPTIONS REALTY. SO HE'S APPLYING FOR AN S U P ON A PROPERTY THAT HE DOESN'T OWN YET. I DON'T BELIEVE HE OWNS IT CURRENTLY, OKAY? I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT THAT WORKS WITH ZONING. BUT UM. APPLICANT IF I'M IN THE APPLICANT MAY SPEAK MORE ABOUT ABOUT HIS, UH, HIS UM, DESIRE OR PLANS IN THE FUTURE ON THAT PROPERTY? WELL NO, THAT THAT THAT'S FINE BECAUSE AGAIN IN THE CITY ATTORNEY AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WORKS WAS ZONING, BUT IT WAS FAR AS APPLYING FOR AN S U P ON THE PROPERTY THAT YOU DON'T OWN THE OWNER. YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET PERMISSION TO MAKE THE APPLICATION. SURE HE'S GOTTEN PERMISSION. YEAH. ALL RIGHT, AND SO AND I KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AGAIN. THIS USE SCHOOL BUSINESS TRADE VOCATIONAL. UM BECAUSE WE KEEP HEARING ABOUT BEAUTY SALONS AND NAIL SALONS AND BARBERSHOPS AND THAT SORT OF THING. AH! THE USE. THERE IS PERSONAL CARE, CORRECT.
SO THIS IS A DIFFERENT USE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, HOWEVER. YOU WILL BE GIVING HAIRCUTS THERE. WHAT? CAN I ASK HIM TO COME UP? YEAH. SO YOU WILL BE PROVIDING HAIRCUTS AS A SERVICE . CORRECT. OKAY. AND HOW IS IT? HOW WOULD THE COLLEGE BE FUNDED? HOW WOULD THE COLLEGE BE FUNDED ? YES SIR. WHAT DO YOU MEAN FOR THE STUDENTS ARE FOR THE WATER OPERATIONS. YOU'VE GOT TO MAINTAIN THE BUILDING. SO HOW ARE YOU BE FUNDING THE COLLEGE TUITION FROM THE STUDENTS WHAT THEY DO PROBABLY PAY OKAY FROM THE TUITION'S, THAT'S HOW WOULD BE FUNDED. OKAY? AH WELL, PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO GET HAIRCUTS THERE. YES YOU WILL BE PROVIDING THAT DURING THE EDUCATIONAL TIME WHEN WE DO DEMOS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW TO DO A CERTAIN HAIRCUT. OKAY? YES, SIR. SO YOU KNOW, SO IT IS EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL, BUT THERE IS ALSO A SERVICE OF PERSONAL CARE BEING PROVIDED, UM . SO AND I KNOW I'M GONNA START SELLING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD ON THIS BECAUSE, BUT THIS DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS APPLICANT OR WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO WITH HIS BUSINESS.
UM, THIS HAS TO DO WITH LAND USE IN PARTICULAR DOWNTOWN DUNCANVILLE AND THAT THIS HAPPENS TO BE IN IN MY DISTRICT. AND WE HAVE NOT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, HAD ANY
[02:25:04]
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE VISION FOR DOWNTOWN DUNCANVILLE. AND WHAT WE WANT THAT TO LOOK LIKE NO DISCUSSIONS WHATSOEVER ABOUT ANY KIND OF BUSINESSES THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THERE AND CURRENTLY AS IT STANDS WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT THIS USE JUST BUSINESS SCHOOL TRADE SCHOOL DOESN'T FIT THE COP PLAN AND AGAIN AS A REPRESENTATIVE, THAT DISTRICT THAT MY CONSTITUENTS IN THAT DISTRICT. UH WOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS USE AND SO THAT YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. FOR NOW. I MAY HAVE MORE COMMENTS LATER. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS.QUESTIONS. OKAY? I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UM VERY IMPRESSED ABOUT. THOSE COMMENTS UP HERE. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION TODAY, WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. UM. SO WHAT OUR BELIEF IS RIGHT NOW IS THAT THIS IS A GOING TO BE AT LEAST SITUATION.
WITH A POTENTIAL TO BUY THE BUILDING AT SOME POINT UM, YES, I THINK I BELIEVE THE INTENT IS FOR THE APPLICANTS OF PURCHASE THE BUILDING. OKAY AND. GOING FROM A LEASE TO PURCHASE THE AND I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER THE SPECIAL USE AH! PERMIT IF ALLOWED GOES WITH THE PROPERTY, CORRECT. SO WHEN IT TRANSFERS OVER, IF IT DOES TRANSFER OVER AND IN TERMS OF OWNERSHIP, NOTHING CHANGES. AND I SAW SOMETHING EARLY ON IN ONE OF THE FIRST PRESENTATIONS ON THIS ISSUE. UM THERE WAS A NUMBER OF YEARS FOR THIS. ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SPECIAL USE PERMIT. IS THAT RIGHT? UM. YES I BELIEVE THAT, UH, THAT WAS ONE OF THE, UM INITIAL, UM REQUESTS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. AH WAS TO HAVE THE. SCP FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, 10 YEARS.
ULTIMATELY THAT MOTION I BELIEVE FAILED IN THAT IT WAS TAKE. THE ITEM WAS TABLED TO A SUBSEQUENT PNC MEETING. AND THEN, UH, AT THE AT THE LATEST PNC MEETING. UM I DON'T BELIEVE THAT PARTICULAR LANGUAGE MOVE MOVE FORWARD. SO THERE'S NO THERE'S NO, UM I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT A LIMIT, BUT FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, THERE'S NO LIMITATIONS ON THIS. YES, YOU P THAT'S CORRECT TERMS OF YEARS. UM. I ALSO SHARE COUNCILMAN KUNZ. UM. WISHES TO SEE AND I WISH THE TIMING WAS DIFFERENT SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE DOWNTOWN DUNCANVILLE DISTRICT OR MAIN STREET DISTRICT. WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT, WHAT THE VISION IS. AND, UM YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER BEEN ENAMORED WITH THE INITIAL DOWNTOWN DUNCANVILLE DISTRICT.
UM ORDINANCE THAT WAS BROUGHT TO US HAVE SAID THIS TO OTHERS. IT WAS A BOILERPLATE FROM A CITY THAT HAD A LOT MORE MONEY THAN US AND IT NEVER FIT. AND SO I WAS HOPING BY NOW, BUT I UNDERSTAND, UM GIVEN OUR CIRCUMSTANCES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. WHY WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FOCUS ON THIS. BUT THE. THAT VISION HAS TO COME TO BE WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO, UH CREATE A VISION THAT'S REALISTIC FOR DUNCANVILLE. AND GROW OFF OF THAT MY CONCERNS WHEN WE GIVE SPECIAL USE PERMITS. LIKE THIS, UM. IS THAT WE KIND OF LOSE CONTROL BECAUSE IF A YEAR FROM NOW WE COME UP WITH A GREAT PROGRAM THAT IS GOING TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO BRING IN RETAIL AND BRING IN RESTAURANTS AND THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD HOPE WE COULD GET ONE DAY. UH, I'M JUST NOT REAL EXCITED ABOUT LOCKING UP A PRIME SPACE. WITH A SERVICE ORIENTED BUSINESS. I MEAN, IT'S NOT A GAS STATION. IT'S NOT REPAIR SHOP. IT'S NOT ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT I WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE FOR SURE, BUT IT STILL GIVES ME SOME POSSIBLE CONCERN. SO, UM. I'LL GO AHEAD AND LET ANYBODY ELSE SPEAK THAT THAT HAS ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD COUNCILMAN. GOOD COUNCILWOMAN.
GOOD. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM. LET ME START BY SAYING I UNDERSTAND THE VALUE. OF BARBARA COLLEGES. UM I AM A GRADUATE OF A BEAUTY SCHOOL WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

PUTTING INTO THE COMMUNITY. I WOULDN'T WANT TO. AH! RISK IT GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE. I VALUE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I AM. OF THE MINDSET OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS OUR VISION FOR DUNCANVILLE. I'VE SAID IT. UM, ALL ALONG. AND I'VE EVEN BROUGHT IT UP FOR OUR STAFF RETREAT THAT WE DISCUSSED WHAT IT IS THAT WE WANT TO SEE HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. IT'S NOT, UM ANYWAY. A KNOCK ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH THE STUDENTS. IT'S REMARKABLE OUTSTANDING. I. JUST WONDER. IS THIS THE PRIME SPOT FOR IT AS WELL? UM, IN DOWNTOWN. AND I VOICED THAT WHEN I MET YOU THIS PAST WEEKEND. I DON'T WANT IT TO SOUND LIKE I'M KNOCKING YOU. THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS. IT'S JUST THAT WE HAVEN'T DETERMINED WHERE WE'RE GOING AS A CITY AND I BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE OUR PRIORITY. AND WHAT IS THE BEST AND HIGHEST USE OF OUR CURRENT, UM, PROPERTIES THAT WE HAVE AND THE LIMITED SPACE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH. UM BUT WELL DONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND, UM HOPEFULLY WE CAN, YOU KNOW, FIND SOMETHING THAT WILL BE A WIN WIN. BEFORE I GO TO COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT, MISS CHERRY IS YOUR LIKE, STILL ON, OR DO YOU HAVE OKAY? BACK ON.

BUT WE HAVE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO UTILIZE THAT AND TO DO SOMETHING GOOD HERE AND SO IT'S KIND OF SAD TO ME THAT WE KEEP SAYING I DON'T WANT TO TRY SOMETHING UP, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM. HMM. MR TREJO. I FEEL QUITE ALONG THE SAME LINES AS MISS GORDON AND IN THIS ISSUE AH!

WE EITHER VOTE IN FAVOR OR AGAINST OR IS THERE AN OPTION TO TABLE FOR ANOTHER TIME ONCE WE DISCUSS UM , WHAT IT IS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE WITH DOWNTOWN. WHAT IS? WHAT ARE OUR SOLUTIONS? WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? I SHOULD SAY RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO TABLE A MATTER BUT I DON'T WANT TO TABLE BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THE NOTICE AND BECAUSE OF ZONING, THERE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE OVER SIX WEEKS. SO THAT'S NOT A LONG TERM SOLUTION FOR YOU. IT'S JUST A SHORT TERM SOLUTION THAT WE GENERALLY EMPLOYED IF WE NEED MORE INFORMATION FROM AN APPLICANT. OR FROM STAFF. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AS YOU KNOW, I LIKE EMOTION TO APPROVE AND IT WOULD REQUIRE A MAJORITY INSTEAD OF A MOTION TO DENY BECAUSE WE'VE ONLY GOT SIX OF YOU TONIGHT SO THIS COULD END UP IN A TIE. IT WOULD AT LEAST HAVE IF IT'S TIED IN THE MOTION FAILS. COUNCILMAN VERACRUZ. THANK YOU, SIR. SO MR GUS GARCIA , DO WE HAVE PEOPLE KNOCKING DOWN THE DOOR IN THAT AREA?

WHERE WE'RE GOING SO THAT WE HAVE, WE CAN MAKE CONFIDENT DECISIONS THAT WE'RE HEADED TOWARDS A GOAL AND I WANT TO SAY ONCE AGAIN THAT THIS IS THAT'S WHAT MR TREJO IS DOING IN THIS BUSINESS AND EVERYTHING THAT HE'S DOING WITH HIS STUDENTS IS THAT WE WANT THIS AND WE WANT TO SUPPORT THIS, BUT THE USE IN DOWNTOWN DUNCANVILLE IT'S NOT IT'S NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE USE USES THAT WE WANT.

RESTAURANTS AND THESE TALKS, ETCETERA. SO. THERE IS NO LOSS TO ANYTHING. NOBODY IS LOSING ANYTHING IF ITS OWN FROM COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL, IT WILL ONLY BENEFIT AND I ALWAYS. IN EVERYTHING I DO. I TRIED TO SEE IF THERE IS AMENDMENT. IF AMENDMENT FOR EVERYBODY. CITY ALSO BENEFIT THE LANDLORD OF BENEFITS AND NOBODY LOSES ANYTHING. IF WE CHANGE IT FROM COMMERCIAL TO LIGHT INDUSTRY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I'M HERE REPEATING ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, WE'LL WE'LL SEE AND WE'LL CALL YOU BACK UP.
THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR? THIS ITEM. NO ONE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR.
ANYONE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST. I SEE NO. ONE. INDICATING THEY'RE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST. SO I ASKED FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED MOTION BY SALESMEN MACRO NET. 2ND 2ND BY COUNCILMAN COUNCILWOMAN GOODEN. AND WE'LL VOTE. TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
JUST. YEAH. OKAY DISCUSSION. UH, COUNCILMAN COATS. THANK YOU, MAYOR, PROTEIN. WHAT'S UH, I COULDN'T TELL ON THE APPLICATION. WHERE IS THE. THE APPLICANT OR THE PROPERTY OWNER . WHAT DO THEY RESIDE? I CAN'T TELL WHAT CITY THAT IS. OR WHOEVER CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION.
YEAH. SO THE OWNER IS A DOCTOR AND HE LIVES IN VEGAS, LAS VEGAS. HERE'S HOW HE HAS A FAMILY HERE IN BURLINGTON. AND HE'S ALSO A DOCTOR. AND HE'S DEFINITELY PLANNING TO MOVE DOWN HERE. EVERYBODY WANTS TO COME TO TEXAS. SO HE WANTS TO COME HERE AND THEREFORE THEY ARE TRYING TO BUY PROPERTY HERE. IN FACT, ANOTHER THING I FORGOT TO MENTION IS HE'S ALSO LOOKING TO SEE IF HE CAN BUY PROPERTIES SURROUNDING THIS. LITTLE PIECE. SO THAT WILL MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE AND IF IT THAT ALSO CAN BE ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND WILL BECOME A NICE LITTLE PORK. BUT I CAN STILL BUSINESSES TO COME TO THE TABLE. OKAY THANK YOU. AND THEN MY UNDERSTANDING
[02:45:08]
IS THAT SO THE REASON WHY HE'S A APPLYING TO. CHANGE THE USE OR THE ZONING IS BECAUSE HE WANTS TO EXPAND. SO THAT SO WE CAN GET MORE PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THE PROPERTY RIGHT? WE CAN ATTRACT MORE BUSINESSES. SMALL INDUSTRIES TO COME. AND OPEN THEIR BUSINESS HERE. SO AS IT STANDS. HE WOULDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS THAT MIGHT BE. AS FAR AS MOSTLY SMALL INDUSTRIES OR WHOLESALERS OR AFTER THE COVID A LOT OF THIS DISTRIBUTION NETWORK HAS STARTED, SO PEOPLE WHO WILL BE DISTRIBUTING FOR ONLINE BUSINESSES AND ALL THAT, SO THIS WILL BE BASICALLY SMALL INDUSTRIES. AND DISTRIBUTORS. AND THEN MY NEXT QUESTION MIGHT BE FOR THE CITY PLANNER. SO BECAUSE I KEEP HEARING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND ON THE APPLICATION IS JUST JUST SAYS INDUSTRIAL, SO THERE MUST BE SOME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL. ACTUALLY NO. SO THERE, UH I LEAVE. I PUT THIS IN THE IN THE CASE REPORT. WHEN THE, UH THE NEW. C ZERO WAS ENACTED. THERE WAS A C ONE AND C TWO AND THEN UH, L ONE AND L TWO AND THIS WAS KIND OF ON THE ON THE BORDERLINE. THIS WAS C TWO BETWEEN, UH MORE INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL AND LESS INTENSE INDUSTRIAL WHEN THE NEW CCO IS ENACTED, THERE'S ONLY COMMERCIAL AND ONLY INDUSTRIAL, SO IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER AND IT GOT DOWNGRADED TO COMMERCIAL. AND THE OTHER INDUSTRIAL USES. WE'RE KIND OF IN ENGULFED INTO OUT THE INDUSTRIAL ONE INDUSTRIAL TWO WERE ENGULFED INTO EACH OTHER. SO UM, THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF BEING DOWNGRADED TO COMMERCIAL, WHEREAS THE OTHER PROPERTIES PERHAPS TO THE SOUTH, WHERE, UH , CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS INDUSTRIAL ACROSS, UH RED BIRD, WHERE INDUSTRIAL AS WELL. UM SO . THE NATURE OF THIS REQUEST IS TOO BECOME INDUSTRIAL, WHICH WOULD OPEN UP TO ALL INDUSTRIAL USES. OKAY I APPRECIATE THAT, SO THAT THAT MAKES MORE SENSE. AND I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION ON THE SLIDES. WHERE IT SHOWS THE PROPERTY, AND THEN IT SHOWS THE SURROUNDING BECAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE OF S UPS RIGHT THERE. SO IF I RECALL CORRECTLY TO THE NORTH. EAST. THAT'S A. A DAYCARE AND WE APPROVED AN S U P FOR DAYCARE THAT'S RIGHT FOR CHILDCARE. SO UM, AND THEN, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE ONE IS DOWN TO THE SOUTH WEST. THAT WAS IT'S CURRENTLY A CHURCH. SO THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. UH IT'S CURRENTLY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.SO THAT'S UH, THAT S U P ISN'T IT? THERE'S NO LONGER OPERATOR OPERATOR OPERATING. SO UH, AND YOU KNOW THAT THESE WILL BE SIMILAR COMMENTS TO PREVIOUSLY. BUT RIGHT NOW, THIS IS KIND OF A SORT OF A HODGEPODGE. GOTTA UH, DAYCARE. THERE'S AN SUV FOR RELIGIOUS CHURCH. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE, YOU SEE ALL THE CARS THERE, GREG, THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT. SO YOU YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS, BUT THEIR CARS EVERYWHERE. UM AND NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE INDUSTRIAL. SO IT IS A HODGEPODGE, HOWEVER. YOU KNOW YOU'RE EXPLAINING THAT IT'S BASICALLY GOING TO BE UPGRADED TO WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES AROUND IT ALREADY INDUSTRIAL UM AND SO. AGAIN YOU KNOW, MAKE THE POINT THAT THIS MIGHT BE ANOTHER AREA WHERE WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS AREA TO LOOK LIKE? IT'S STARTING TO GET KIND OF SPOTTY WITH THE ZONING. HOWEVER. SINCE THE OTHER USES IN THE AREA IN THE ZONING ACTUALLY REFLECTS WHAT HE'S REQUIRED REQUESTING.
I'M GOING TO BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS. THANK YOU. UH, COUNCILWOMAN GOOD. THANK YOU, UM . SO THE PROPERTY OWNER LIVES IN LAS VEGAS. HOW OFTEN DOES HE HAVE A CHANCE TO COME DOWN TO MONITOR? AND, UM, OVERSEE THE PROPERTY AND THE MAINTENANCE AND SO I'M THE PROPERTY MANAGER FOR HIM. AND HE COMES HERE. ALMOST EVERY 15 DAYS OR SO. EVERY 15 DAYS. HIS FATHER USED TO LIVE HERE, THE CENTRAL AUSTIN RATHER LIVED HERE AND HE'S HERE. VERY OFTEN, AND I'M THE PROPERTY
[02:50:07]
MANAGER FOR HIM. SO UNDER ALMOST EVERY WEEK. TAKE A LOOK SO OKAY? SO, UM. THE BUILDING IS RATHER LONG. I WAS DRIVING OUT THERE YESTERDAY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE AREA. AND I DID NOTICE THAT IT DOES SEEM TO BE, UM, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AREA. UH UM. IS HE PLANNING ON BREAKING UP THE BUILDING IN DIVIDING IT INTO DIFFERENT PARCELS TO HAVE SMALLER BECAUSE I KNOW INDUSTRIAL HAS A VERY WIDE RANGE . YOU CAN HAVE MANUFACTURERS. YOU CAN HAVE, UM, FREIGHT, YOU CAN HAVE A LITTLE SMALL MANUFACTURING COMPANIES, BUT THEY'RE STILL FALL UNDER INDUSTRIAL UM WHAT TYPE. HOW DOES HE PLAN ON USING THE BUILDING, KEEPING IT IN ONE WHOLE BUILDING AND HAVING ONE TENANT, OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT DIVIDING IT UP AND HAVING MULTIPLE TENANTS? CORRECT. SO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD. THIS PROPERTY HAS 15,000 BENEFIT PROPERTY HE WANTED TO 12 UNITS OF 12 50 EACH AND SO THESE ARE ALL SHUTTERS. BUT ONE HI FEELINGS AND SO THERE ARE 12 ACTUALLY 11 TENANTS THERE. ONE TENANT HAS TWO UNITS. SO, UM.BASICALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO OR IS THAT SEE IF WE CAN CLEAN UP THIS PLACE. ONCE IT GETS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING. THEN WE CAN ATTRACT MORE BETTER TENANT AND THE TENANT IS OF BIG NATIONAL. MANUFACTURER OR SOMEONE, AND HE WANTS TO OPEN A SMALL DISTRIBUTION. WE CAN GIVE HIM THE WHOLE THING OR WE CAN GIVE HIM THREE UNITS. EACH UNIT HAS INDIVIDUAL SHUTTERS. FOR ME.
IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO OF THEM OR THREE OF THEM, WE CAN IT'S FLEXIBLE. WE CANNOT EITHER GIVE THEM TWO UNITS UNIT FOR AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO, AND WE ALSO WANT TO TAKE THE LAND NEXT TO IT, IF POSSIBLE, WHICH IS OUR EMPTY LOT. AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE. SPACE FOR THE TIMES WHO WILL PROBABLY COME HERE. OPEN FROM SHOPS OR WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION. OKAY BECAUSE WHAT'S CURRENTLY THERE NOW? HAVE THEY HAVE A TON OF CARS, VEHICLES, SO ALL OF THAT WILL BE YOUR SAYING IT WILL BE CLEANED UP. THAT'S THE PLAN THAT WE GET. LIGHTNING IS STILL DROWNING, AND WE CAN GET BETTER TENANTS THAN WE LET THESE OLD PEOPLE GO. AND BRING NICER PEOPLE. AND THAT CARS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE THERE. NOBODY WANTS THAT. SO YOU'LL LET THEIR RELEASE RUN OUT. YES AND DO WE KNOW WHAT'S THE LONGEST LEAST CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW ENDING NEXT YEAR? OKAY SO ONE OF THE LEASE IS THE LONGEST LEASE IS ANTICIPATED TO END. NEXT YEAR.
YEAH TIME AND NEXT YEAR I'M APRIL. APRIL I APRIL, WE CAN EXPECT THEM, BUT OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T WANT TO ENCOURAGE THEM SO AS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO GO. REDO THE PLACE AND ATTRACT BETTER TENANTS HERE , ESPECIALLY ANY POSSIBLE JUST ONE OR TWO BIG TENANTS, AND I KNOW, UM, CUT OFF MY MAYOR, PRO TEM BACKGROUND. THIS IS A Q AND A PORTION PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED, SO THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO ASK QUESTIONS. HE NEEDS TO ANSWER HIM WHEN HE'S ANSWERED THEM, AND HE'S DONE BECAUSE PUBLIC HEARINGS OVER. SO THE QUESTION IS THE QUESTION ON THE FLOOR WAS. ARE YOU GOING TO SUBDIVIDED? HE SAID. YES, MAYBE NO. DEPENDS ON. WHO WANTS TO COME IN AND HOW MUCH IT PAYS THEY WANT, BUT YES, WE ARE WILLING TO SUBDIVIDE IT. OKAY.
THANK YOU. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. HOW LONG HAS THE CURRENT OWNER OWNED THE BUILDING? OKAY SO 2021. OKAY GOOD. AND, UM. DESCRIBED TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. WHAT'S IN THERE RIGHT NOW, NOT I'M NOT ASKING YOU ACTUALLY WHAT'S IN THERE, BUT COMPARED TO WHAT'S IN THERE RIGHT NOW. WHAT CHANGES AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHANGING THIS TO AN INDUSTRIAL? ZONING. SO THE BENEFIT WOULD BE TO OFFER. UH ADDITIONAL USES. SO GIVE ME SOME EXAMPLES. THAT ARE ALLOWED BY COMMERCIAL ARE ALLOWED IN, UH I CAN DO THAT. YEAH. UM. SO I'LL GO DOWN TO THE
[02:55:17]
AUTOMOTIVE BECAUSE THAT TENDS TO BE WHERE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE DIFFERENCES. AND, UM. SO.CURRENTLY UH SEVERAL OF THESE USES ARE PERMITTED WITHIN THAT. CP. BEING AUTO DEALERSHIP. HE'S ONLY AUTO REPAIR AND SERVICES MAJOR. AUTO STORAGE. IN RENTAL. UM. HAULING SERVICES. TRUCK.
WHAT DEALERSHIP, TRUCK REPAIR AND INDUSTRIAL. THESE ARE ALLOWED BY, RIGHT? AH WAREHOUSE USES CURRENTLY REQUIRED S U P AND INDUSTRIAL. THEY'LL BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT. AH HEAVY EQUIPMENTS. SALES CURRENTLY IS PERMITTED WITHIN SCP AND IN COMMERCIAL UH, AND THIS IS PERMITTED BY WRITING INDUSTRIAL . A PRINT SHOP, FOR EXAMPLE, IS PERMITTED BY WRITING AN INDUSTRIAL, UH, WITH AN S U P IN COMMERCIAL. I THINK THAT IS A AH . FEED STORE, FOR EXAMPLE, IS PERMITTED WITH MY RIGHT AND INDUSTRIAL OKAY, I THINK I THINK YOU'VE GONE DOWN ENOUGH OF THEM FOR ME. MY POINT IN THIS BEING. THAT MOST OF THOSE THAT YOU DESCRIBED OR EITHER GOING TO TAKE A LOT LARGER SPACES, AND THESE CURRENT BUILDINGS HAVE OR A LOT MORE AREA IN THE PARKING AREA. CAR RENTALS. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF CARS THERE. UM TRUCK REPAIRS . YOU'RE GONNA TRUCKS ALL OVER THE PLACE OUT THERE. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT? WE'RE TRYING TO CLEAN IT UP. WE'RE ACTUALLY OPENING THE DOOR TO HAVE OCCUPANCIES THAT CAN MAKE IT A LITTLE MESSY AGAIN. AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE IF WE LOOK AT ALL THE PURPLE AROUND AT THE LIGHT PURPLE UM, THAT'S COMMERCIAL. IT'S CONSISTENT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A HODGEPODGE. YES IF YOU PULLED AWAY FROM THIS IT MORE OF A HODGEPODGE, AND THIS REPRESENTS SO WE MAY BE ADDING TO THE HODGEPODGE FOR CONSISTENCY SAKE, UNLESS THERE'S A REALLY VALID REASON AND THAT WOULD TAKE UM. SOME TYPE OF A STATEMENT. ABOUT WHAT? WHAT USE YOU'RE LOOKING TO TRY TO GET IN THERE. BECAUSE. I JUST I'M JUST SO CURIOUS ABOUT WHY YOU'RE GOING TO A MUCH LOOSER ZONING.
AND WHAT THE BENEFIT IS WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH A CONFINED SPACE TO WORK IN MOST OF THOSE, IF YOU WENT DOWN MORE, THEY'RE ALL GONNA BE TYPICALLY AND LARGER PROPERTIES OR LARGER BUILDINGS SO THAT THAT CONFUSES ME AS TO WHY WE HAVE WHAT? WHY THEY'RE ASKING FOR THIS, AND I HAVEN'T HEARD THE ANSWER YET. UM LIKEWISE. YOU'VE GOT THE DARK PURPLE ACROSS THE STREET. SO WE'RE GONNA HODGEPODGE IT OVER ACROSS THE STREET TO THIS LOT. I I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT THAT BREAKING THE CONSISTENCY UP. TOWARDS THE HODGEPODGE IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE AREA. AND I HAVEN'T HEARD IT COMPELLING. STATEMENTS AND YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME TO TELL ME IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO COUNTER WHAT I'M ADDRESSING UM. WHAT IT IS. THAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY. BY GOING TO INDUSTRIAL I KNOW YOU. YOU CAN TAKE BROADLY. IT OPENS IT UP. OF COURSE IT DOES, BUT IT OPENS IT UP THINGS THAT WOULD NEVER FIT HERE AND I'M CONCERNED. YOU'RE TRYING TO FIT PREMIER MAYOR PRO TEM JUST SAYING NO, THIS ISN'T HIS APPLICATION. HIS APPLICATION. I NOTE? SOUNDS LIKE I'M BEATING YOU UP. UM, APOLOGIZE, BUT THAT THAT'S WHERE I'M GONNA QUANDARY OVER THERE, SO I'LL LEAVE IT THERE. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY REBUTTAL. PLEASE.
THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM PUBLIC HEARINGS CLOSED. IF YOU NEED TO ASK HIM A QUESTION, YOU MAY ASK HIM A QUESTION. HE HEARD WHAT I SAID. YOU KNOW, I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SAYING IT TOO. THE PLANNER.
UM SO, YEAH. YOU WANT ME TO REPEAT ANYTHING? ONE MINUTE? I DON'T SO, AS I SAID IN THE BEGINNING. IT'S COMMERCIAL RIGHT NOW FROM COMMERCIAL IF IT GOES TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IT IS NOT GOING TO LOSE ANYTHING. CURRENTLY THE TENANT THAT WE HAVE THERE, UH MOM HAS GONE THERE, AND IT'S A BUNCH OF SMALL INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO REPAIRED CARS AND STUFF LIKE
[03:00:05]
THAT. AND IT'S VERY LIMITED USE THAT I'M ABLE TO DO IT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT PROPERTIES DESIGNED I CANNOT. SO THEREFORE IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT LIGHT INDUSTRY SO THAT ONCE THESE PEOPLE GO, I CAN ATTACK SOME BOOED DISTRIBUTOR OF SAMSUNG PHONES, SO SOMEBODY IS SELLING OR SUPPLYING ACCESSORIES TO A NEARBY MANUFACTURERS. SOMETHING THAT CAN COME AND DO HOLD STORY OR THEY CAN DO THAT DISTRIBUTION CENTER HERE AND IT WILL NOT NEED LOT OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. PEOPLE WON'T COME THERE AND IF POSSIBLE, WE CAN BUY THE LAND BEHIND IT.THAT'S WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT. AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT ALSO DO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. THEN IT WILL BECOME A NICE SPACE FOR. SMALL BUSINESS TO COME. ALL THIS YOU TOUCHED ON THAT TOLD ME TO INTERRUPT, BUT YOU TOUCHED ON THAT EARLIER AND I'M SORRY I MISSED THAT POINT. BUT THANK YOU FOR ELABORATING ON THAT. THAT MAKES SENSE. SO DISTRIBUTION WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED IN. THE CURRENT ZONING. LET ME VERIFY.
IS THAT WHOLESALE CENTER. MR WARREN. OH, THERE, THERE'S A THERE'S A FEW USES. THERE'S UM WELL. WHOLESALE CENTER. THAT THAT IS ONE USE THAT CURRENTLY REQUIRES A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT AND INDUSTRIAL THE DEFINITION OF WHOLESALE CENTER. IT IS. AND ESTABLISHMENT OR PLACE OF BUSINESS, PRIMARILY ENGAGED IN SELLING OR DISTRIBUTING MERCHANDISE TO RETAILERS TO INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL INSTITUTIONAL PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS USERS. AND THE OTHER WHOLESALERS INCLUDES AND ASSOCIATED SAMPLE ROOM TO OPEN THE CUSTOMERS. UH, SO YES TO HIS POINT IF THAT'S THE PARTICULAR USE THAT HE'S AFTER. THEN. A ZONING CHANGE TO INDUSTRIAL WOULD ALLOW HIM TO THAT BY, RIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU, UM IT'S THE LAST THING I'LL SAY ON IT IS THAT EVEN IF IT WAS FOR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET A PICK UP TRUCK TO BACK IN THERE TO BE DELIVERING. SO, UH, IF THERE'S ANY AND ONCE WE GIVE ESPECIALLY SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THIS. UM TAKE IT BACK 18 WHEELERS IN THERE, AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY LOOKING AT THIS, THERE'S NOT ROOM BUT FOR ONE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THE DISTRIBUTION WILL PLAY OUT. BUT I'VE DONE THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN KUNZ. AH! THANK YOU.
MAYOR PRO TEM. SO SORRY. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE MAP AGAIN? BECAUSE SO I WAS MISTAKEN ON SOMETHING BECAUSE I JUST SAW PURPLE. AND SO I THOUGHT ALL THE PURPLE BUT THIS DARK PURPLE IN THIS LIGHT PURPLE. AND SO. OFF TO THE LEFT. THERE REMAIN STREETS. THAT'S ALL INDUSTRIAL THAT'S RIGHT. ON THE OTHER SIDE WHERE THIS IS BEING REQUESTED. IT'S ALL MOST OF THAT COMMERCIAL. ALREADY SO IT ACTUALLY BE KIND OF STICK, OKAY? SO, YES. SO. SO I WANNA TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID, AS FAR AS IT FITTING IN WITH EVERYTHING AROUND IT BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT FIT IN WITH THE COMMERCIAL. SO THANK YOU. MARIBEL PRO TEAM. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE TO HAVE A SECOND. MR VERACRUZ. MR MCBURNETT MOTION TO APPROVE AND SECONDED BY AGAIN GREEN IS TO APPROVE MUST RECEIVE FOUR VOTES. I'M JUST REINFORCEMENT SINCE WE'VE GOT SIX MEMBERS APPRECIATE IT AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU, COACH.
OKAY SO WITH THAT THIS IS THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. SO GREEN IS GOING TO BE TO APPROVE. AND RED IS GOING TO BE TO DENY. OKAY, LET'S VOTE. OKAY? UM, REQUEST IS DENIED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO. OKAY, UM I THOUGHT. BUT THIS IS THIS WAS AT
[03:05:31]
THE VERY POINT. AND SO I HAVE TO ASK THE ATTORNEY IF HE COULD SPEAK ON OKAY? ATTORNEY AT A QUESTION FOR YOU, UM THEN NEXT TO CAR. WELL, THE NEXT CARD THAT I HAVE. BOTH OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE STAFF REPORTS. SO THERE'S A PERSON THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BOTH THOSE, BUT WHAT I OVERLOOKED WAS IT WAS THE THIRD CARD BY THE SAME INDIVIDUAL.

SO BEFORE I BEGAN. I WANT TO SAY, MISS CONTRERAS. SAT IN THAT POSITION BEFORE. AND I CAN APPRECIATE THE DIFFICULTY OF TRYING TO KEEP THE INFORMATION FLOWING AND EVERYTHING ON POINT.

THAT SHE HASN'T HAD MUCH OPPORTUNITY. PREPARING ADVANCE. WITH THAT BEING SAID. UH I DO HAVE THREE CITIZEN COMMENTS THAT I WANT TO MAKE. AND. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ALERT YOU TO THE FACT. THAT IS GOING TO TAKE LONGER THAN TWO MINUTES TO GO THROUGH ALL THREE OF THEM. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I WAS THINKING MORE IN TERMS OF MAYBE EIGHT MINUTES FOR THE WHOLE LOT. SO UH, APPEAL TO COUNCIL. TWO. SUSPEND THE RULES. AND ALLOW ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO ALL THREE OF THESE COMMENTS. BECAUSE IT'S RELEVANT AND VITAL INFORMATION SO PLEASE UM, MR HARVEY, LET ME EXPLAIN TO THE COUNCIL THAT THE CARDS THAT YOU TURNED IN BEFORE THE MEETING TWO OF THEM WERE GOING TO BE

COVERING THE TWO ITEMS. THAT ARE LAST ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT. ITEM SIX A AND SIX C. SO THE TWO PERTAINED TO THAT. UM I'M GOING TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE ON THIS DECISION. THE ITEM ON THREE B IS WHAT WE'VE GIVEN YOU. THE OPEN FLOOR FOR BUT LET'S UH LET'S GET SOME DIRECTION ON GIVEN THESE COMMENTS DURING SIX A AND SIX C. THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE NOT EXPERIENCED BEFORE. SO CERTAINLY AT THIS POINT I NEED I NEED SOME HELP ON HOW WE CAN LEGALLY DO THIS. HERE COMES OUR ATTORNEY.FOR ALL THREE, OKAY? ONE. WELL, WE'VE ALREADY WE'VE ALREADY VOTED TO SUSPEND THE RULES. WE NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. HAD TIME TO IT. OKAY. I'D LIKE TO GET SOME I HAVE TWO LIGHTS ON. SO I'D LIKE TO HEAR I'M GETTING SOME INPUT. ALRIGHT, COUNCILMAN COONS. SO AND I UNDERSTAND WHY WE INITIALLY DECIDED TO SUSPEND THE RULES TO REOPEN CITIZEN COMMENTS, HOWEVER. WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND IF WE'RE GONNA MAKE ALLOWANCES TO SUSPEND RULES, YOU KNOW, AND OF COURSE, WE'VE GOT SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT MOVING FORWARD. WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT IF IT'S REQUESTED OF US TO DO THIS AGAIN, THAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT SO THAT WE'RE NOT SHOWING ANY KIND OF FAVORITISM OR ANYTHING OR GIVING THE IMPRESSION OF SHOWING ANY KIND OF FAVORITISM TO ANYONE. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. UH, COUNCILMAN CHERRY. AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF TIME. IF WE SAY TWO MINUTES FOR COMMENTS. THEN IF IT'S A COUPLE OF THEM, THEN IT'S TWO MINUTES EACH DOWN THAT OTHERS I'M LIKE WE NEED TO BE CONSISTENT. OKAY. THANK YOU. BUT COUNCILMAN MARK BURNETT. AND I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT ASSESSMENT AS WELL. AND WHAT ELSE? THE COMMENTS TRYING TO BE LTD. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OR WITHIN OUR GUIDELINES. OKAY, SO HOW ARE WE GONNA TIME? THIS SENSE OF THREE?

JUST IN CASE YOU'RE INTERESTED, OKAY? UM SO IT WAS ROUGH, THE COUNCIL UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE ATTORNEY HAS TOLD ME AND WE'RE GOING TO PROCEED ON AND MR HARVEY SPEAK FOR A TOTAL OF TWO MINUTES. OKAY, LET'S GO. MUNIS THE CITY'S FINANCIAL SYSTEM CAN ONLY HAVE TWO FISCAL YEARS OPEN. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING CURRENTLY. FISCAL YEARS, 2022 AND 2023 OR OPEN AND MUNIS. THE FISCAL YEAR CLOSES WHEN THE ART IT IS FINISHED. THE END OF THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, SEPTEMBER 30TH 2023 UNLESS THE AUDIT IS FINISHED, BUT. SEPTEMBER 30TH 2023, THE UM UNISYS TEM WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR TRANSACTIONS. FOR THE NEW FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1ST 2023 IT WILL TAKE THE AUDITORS SIX WEEKS TO COMPLETE THE FISCAL YEAR. 2022 AUDIT WANTS THE CITY'S BOOKS ALREADY. HOWEVER, THERE REMAIN A DOZEN OUTSTANDING ITEMS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE FISCAL YEAR. 2022 BOATS ARE READY FOR THE AUDITOR. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 AUDIT TO BE FINISHED. BY SEPTEMBER. 30TH 2023 THE BOOKS WE NEED TO BE READY NO LATER THAN AUGUST 15 2023. CURRENT DELAY INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE AUDITORS WILL BE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CLEAN OPINION. ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 AUDITS. THIS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED
[03:15:07]
THE CITY'S FINANCIAL REPUTATION AND FUTURE DEBT SALES. ADDITIONALLY THE CITY HAS NOT SELECTED AN AUDIT FIRM TO DO THE AUDIT FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. ENDING SEPTEMBER 30 2023.AND JUST REAL QUICKLY. IT'S INHERENTLY UNFAIR. FOR THE PUBLIC NOT TO HAVE ACCESS. TWO.
THE BUDGET AT THE SAME TIME AS COUNSEL. SO PLEASE CORRECT THAT MOVING FORWARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY WE MOVED ONTO OUR ITEM SIX STAFF AND BOARD REPORTS INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTOR DENNIS
[Items 6A & 6B]
BALDWIN. THANK YOU. MAYOR, PRO TIM CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M HERE TODAY TO, UH GO AHEAD AND LET DENISE INTRODUCED VALLEY VIEW REPRESENTATIVE WE'VE GOT SOMEONE DIRECTLY FROM THE COMPANY TO TALK ABOUT HER INVESTMENT POLICY. WE'VE GOT TWO TONIGHT AND WE'LL HAVE ON THE NEXT SCALE SCHEDULED. THAT'S OUR PLAN. SO YOU HAVE MORE COLOR. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. AND MAYOR PROTIUM. I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU, MR TIM PINION HE'S FROM ARE VALID VIEW INVESTMENTS, AND HE WILL GO OVER THE DECEMBER 2022 INVESTMENT REPORT AND ALSO THE SECOND QUARTER. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL. RECOVERING THE REPORT FROM. THE QUARTER ENDING DECEMBER 31 2022 BECAUSE THERE WAS A REVISION MADE TO THE COPY THAT THE COUNCIL RECEIVED. SO UM , LET'S SEE. THIS IS JUST KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING A COUPLE OF THINGS FROM THAT QUARTER HIGHLIGHTED THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE PORTFOLIO VALUE OVERALL, AT THE END OF 9 30, THE PORTFOLIO VALUE IS A LITTLE OVER 79 MILLION. DECREASED SLIGHTLY OVER THE QUARTER AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO 78,000,001 13, AND THERE YOU SEE THE TOTAL PORTFOLIO YIELD FOR THE CITY WAS AT 3.69. I BELIEVE THE PREVIOUS REPORT THAT THE COUNCIL RECEIVED THE PORTFOLIO YIELD. I WAS SHOWING A 2.49% AND THAT WAS UNDERSTATED. SO ACTUALLY, THE CITY'S PORTFOLIO RETURN WAS QUITE A BIT HIGHER THAN THAT. IT WAS 3.69% WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHY THAT HAPPENED IN JUST A MINUTE AND THEN THE QUARTERLY THE INTEREST EARNINGS. THOSE WERE CORRECT, SO THOSE NUMBERS WERE GOOD. WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THE YIELD CURVE. THAT'S THIS IS NOW OLD DATA SOURCE GOING SKIP PAST THAT. AND THEN THIS IS WHERE THE I GUESS KIND OF THE CONFUSION CAME IN.SO WHEN WE FIRST WERE DID CREATED THE REPORT ENDING DECEMBER 31ST DURING THAT QUARTER, WHAT THE CITY DID WAS WITH THEIR DEPOSITS THAT WELLS FARGO THEY USED WELLS FARGO SWEEP INVESTMENT OPTION AND THE PURPOSE OF THAT WAS IT GAVE IT A SIGNAL. THE CITY IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER YIELD SO YOU CAN SEE UNDER THE OLD MODEL OR THE ACCOUNT STRUCTURE BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN GETTING THAT YIELD OF 0.60% BY SHIFTING THE FUNDS OVER INTO THAT INVESTMENT SWEEP, YOU PICK UP SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER YIELD. THEY WENT TO 4.4% AND OBVIOUSLY ON $27 MILLION. THAT MAKES A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE BOTTOM LINE FOR THE CITY. WHAT HAPPENED WAS IT'S A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING. THIS IS THE FIRST QUARTER WHERE WE HAD THIS SPLIT AND THE WAY THAT THE SWEEP WORKS IS IT'S TIED DIRECTLY TO THE DD ACCOUNT. AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR BALANCES, IT'LL SHOW YOUR AVAILABLE BALANCE. IN THIS CASE IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT YOUR YOUR DAILY REPORT ON WELLS FARGO'S REPORTING, IT WOULD SHOW YOU'VE GOT AN AVAILABLE BALANCE OF 33 MILLION AND SO WHEN WE WERE COLLECTING DATA FROM THE CITY, THEY SAID, WELL, R D D A BALANCE WAS 33 MILLION. AND IT GOT GROUPED TOGETHER UNDER THAT FIRST LINE AT THAT, 0.60. AND CITY STAFF STILL KIND OF LEARNING THE PROCESS ON THAT WASN'T SURE TO FIND THAT DATA AND THEY JUST DIDN'T SEE IT. AND SO AS WE KIND OF IN HINDSIGHT, WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT ERROR.
SO REALLY, THE MAIN PURPOSE IS JUST TO COME AND SHARE WITH THE COUNCIL THAT THAT INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE REVISED AND HAS BEEN REVISED TO REFLECT THE HIGHER RETURN THAT THE CITY IS EARNING BECAUSE THEY'RE SPLITTING THE INVESTMENTS AND PUTTING MORE FUNDS INTO THAT. WELLS FARGO INVESTMENT SWEEP. ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THAT. YEAH. THANK YOU, MR PINYON. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU
[03:20:01]
AS ALWAYS, SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND? YOU KNOW, WE HAD IT LISTED AS WELL, FARGO RIGHT NOW.IS ALL SPRING. WAS IT ON OUR LIST? SO THAT WAS THE THAT WAS THE OTHER DISCLOSURE, TOO. SO IT'S THROUGH WELLS FARGO. AND SO WELLS FARGO. SPLIT OFF. I THINK IT'S KIND OF MORE OF A LEGAL STRUCTURING CHANGE, SO THEY DIVIDED THAT IS KIND OF A SEPARATE COMPANY. AND SO IT'S ALL SPRING IS LIKE A DRY FIST OR FIDELITY OR VANGUARD. THAT'S KIND OF THE LABEL OF IT, BUT IT'S SOLD THROUGH WELLS FARGO. AND SO IT'S TIED TO THAT AND SO IT IS TYPICALLY HISTORICALLY BEEN IN THE PAST. JUST IT WAS JUST CALLED THE WELLS FARGO SWEEP. THIS WAS A CHANGE THAT WELLS FARGO INSTITUTED TO MORE ACCURATELY REFLECT THE LEGAL NAME OF SO I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT, MR BURNETT. THAT'S THAT WAS THE OTHER THING THAT WE WANTED TO DISCLOSE AS WELL. SO ON THE OTHER STATEMENT, WELL ON THE OTHER STATEMENT WAS JUST GROUPS TOGETHER, SO WE DID TWO THINGS. WE SEPARATED IT OUT. AS A WELLS FARGO SWEET BUT WE ALSO IDENTIFIED THE NAME OF THE FIND, WHICH IS THE ALL SPRING GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUNDS. OKAY? THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT ONE. WE HAD ONE MORE SLIDE FROM THAT ONE. AND THEN THIS JUST IS A CHART. I THINK THESE ARE HELPFUL TO IT SHOWS. SO HOW IS THE CITY DOING COMPARED TO YOUR BENCHMARKS? AND SO, UH, WHAT THOSE LINES ARE ON THERE. THE BLUE LINE IS THE CITY'S PORTFOLIO. WHAT'S YOUR RETURN WAS OVER THE QUARTERS THAT THE OTHER TWO LINES ARE TYPICALLY USED AS BENCHMARKS. SO YOU'VE GOT THE TEXT POOL, WHICH IS A I LIQUID MONEY MARKET FUND WITH A WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY OF 60 DAYS AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE ROLLING THREE MONTH T BILL. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT. HOW DID THE CITY DO IN COMPARISON TO THOSE BENCHMARKS AND AS YOU CAN SEE, GOING BACK TO MARCH OF 2015, THE CITY'S PORTFOLIO HAS CONSISTENTLY OUTPERFORMED THE BENCHMARKS TOWARDS THE PEAK IN A RISING RATE. ENVIRONMENT IT CAN BE TOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THAT, BECAUSE WHAT YOU'VE DONE IS YOU'VE INVESTED OUT FURTHER ON THE YIELD CURVE TYPICALLY TO PICK UP RETURN, BUT WHEN RATES START GOING UP REALLY QUICKLY, SOMETIMES THOSE LAG THOSE LONGER TERM INVESTMENTS LAGGED BEHIND CURRENT MARKET RATES. AS YOU'RE SEEING ON THE FAR RIGHT, SO RATES HAVE GONE UP INCREDIBLY QUICKLY IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THAT GRAPH PRETTY WELL DEMONSTRATES THAT SO THE CITY'S PORTFOLIO IS A LITTLE BIT UNDER , LET'S SEE IF WE GO BACK TO HEAR YOU KIND OF SEE THE CITY'S PORTFOLIO IS AT 3.69% IT IS LAGGING BEHIND THOSE OTHER ONES JUST BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE SOME CDS THAT WERE OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. AND SO THOSE ARE LOCKED IN WHICH IS GREAT WHEN RIGHTS ARE FALLING, BUT WHEN RIGHTS ARE RISING RAPIDLY UNTIL THOSE MATURING COME OFF THE CITY'S PORTFOLIO. RETURN IS GOING TO LAG A LITTLE BIT BEHIND THOSE BENCHMARKS, BUT THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. THE BENEFIT IS AS RATES, YOU KNOW, AS YOU GO, I GUESS AROUND 2019 WHEN RATES BEGAN TO FALL BECAUSE THE CITY HAS SOME OF THOSE LONGER TERM INVESTMENTS, THE CITY'S PORTFOLIO STAYED HIGHER STATE OF LOVE THOSE BENCHMARK RATES BECAUSE YOU'VE LOCKED IN THOSE RIGHTS FOR A LONGER PERIOD. ATTENTION THAT'S THE BENEFIT THE TRADE OFF IS THAT DURING A REALLY RAPIDLY PERIOD OF TIME, YOU'RE GOING TO BE UNDER THOSE BENCHMARKS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE ABOUT TO COME TO A CREST AND INTEREST RATES. AND SO THIS IS A PART WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD TO START MOVING INTO SOME OF THOSE LONGER TERM RIGHT WHERE WE CAN TO LOCK IN THOSE THESE HIGHER RATES FOR A WHILE. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FIRST QUARTER BEFORE WE GO INTO SECOND QUARTER. SO SAME THING HERE SO ANOTHER SHIFT THAT WAS MADE IN DECEMBER TO MARCH, BUT THE MEDIA IS HIGHLIGHTED SO THE CITY WAS LEAVING SOME FUNDS THERE BECAUSE THINKING WAS WHAT HELPED OFFSET BANK FEES. THE DOWNSIDE WAS THAT YOU'RE ONLY GETTING 60 BASIS POINTS, WHEREAS YOU COULD PICK UP OVER 4% AND THAT SWEEP, SO WE HAD A DISCUSSION WITH CITY STAFF, AND I SAID, HEY, LET'S IT'S NICE NOT TO HAVE BANK FEES, BUT YOU'RE BETTER OFF TO PAY BANK FEES AND GET A HIGHER RATE OF RETURN BECAUSE 4.5 BASIS POINTS AS A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN 0.6% SO MOST BASICALLY ALL OF THE FUNDS WERE SHIFTED OVER INTO THE ALL SPRING INVESTMENT, SO THE FUNDS THAT ARE KEPT AT WELLS FARGO ACTUALLY SWEEP INTO THAT HIGH YIELDING INVESTMENTS OPTION THERE. SO THAT'S THAT WAS A SHIFT IN STRATEGY THAT WAS MADE AND REALLY SO NOW YOU'VE PICKED UP SIGNIFICANT YIELD ON THAT $6 MILLION THAT HAD BEEN AT THAT LOWER RATE, SO THAT WAS AN INTENTIONAL MOVE MADE TO PICK UP YIELD THERE AND THEN LOOKING AT THE HIGHLIGHTED PORTFOLIO TOTAL , VERY TYPICAL FOR CITY. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE EXPECTED TO SEE.
BECAUSE JANUARY FEBRUARY THAT'S WHEN ALL OF YOUR PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS ARE COMING IN. SO THAT'S TYPICALLY THE HIGHEST QUARTER OF THE OF THE YEAR FOR A CITY. BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING YOUR PROPERTY TAXES AND AH, SO THEN YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE RATES ARE STILL TRAILING A LITTLE BIT
[03:25:03]
BEHIND THE BENCH MARKS AGAIN. WE'RE STILL IN A RISING RATE ENVIRONMENT. UH THE INTEREST EARNINGS ARE AMAZING AND COMPARISON TO WHERE WE WERE A YEAR OR SO AGO. SO 848,000 JUST IN THIS QUARTER 1.3 POINT POINT 0.3 MILLION YEAR TODAY, SO THAT'S FOR TWO QUARTERS. SO THAT RIGHT? YEAH. YOU'RE LOOKING AT A ANNUAL RETURN AROUND 2.6 MILLION AND INTEREST EARNED ON THE OVERALL PORTFOLIO. ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY ITEMS ON THAT PAGE. AND THEN THIS IS A LOOK AT THE YIELD CURVE AND REALLY KIND OF WHAT THIS TELLS US IS. IT HELPS US MAKE SOME INVESTMENT DECISIONS.WHAT IS THE MARKET TELLING US THE INTEREST RATES ARE LIKELY TO DO? THIS IS NOT TYPICAL. YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD THE TERM IN INVERTED YIELD CURVE, BECAUSE NORMALLY IF YOU PUT AN INVESTMENT IN THE CD FOR A LOT FOR A YEAR VERSUS SIX MONTHS, YOU EXPECT TO GET A HIGHER RATE FOR THE YEAR. OVER THE SIX MONTHS OR LONGER. YOU GO. YOU'RE TAUGHT. YOU'RE COMMITTING YOUR MONEY LONGER. YOU TYPICALLY EXPECT TO GET A HIGHER RATE OF RETURN, AND THAT'S NORMAL.
THAT'S A NORMAL YIELD CURVE. IN THIS CASE, THE LONGER YOU GO, THE LOWER YOUR RATE IS BECAUSE THE MARKET IS SAYING THESE RATES ARE NOT GOING TO STAY THIS HIGH . THE RIGHTS ARE GOING TO BECOME LOWER IN THE FUTURE. AND RIGHT NOW THE BEST ESTIMATE BY I GUESS THE YOU CALL IT THE EXPERTS THAT WATCH THIS IS BY THE END OF 24. RIGHT NOW, THE FED FUNDS RATE HAS BEEN 0.5 AND A QUARTER AND 5.5% THE EXPECTATION IS BY END OF 2024 WILL PROBABLY BE AROUND 4% SO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ABOUT 125 250 BASIS POINT DROP AND RIGHT. SO AGAIN, THERE'S SOME BENEFIT OF TYING UP RATES NOW AND SHIFTING SOME OF THE PORTFOLIO AND IT'S ALREADY STARTED TO HAPPEN A LITTLE BIT, BUT THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO LOOK AT AND MAKE A DECISION ON. HOW SHOULD WE INVEST THE CITY'S FUNDS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME? AGAIN, JUST KIND OF A QUICK LOOK HERE, TOO. THIS IS ALSO REITERATES THE FACT TO BE READY FOR FALLING RATES.
THIS GOES BACK TO 2016. SO WE'RE LOOKING OVER A 17 YEAR PERIOD AND I WOULD DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION. THERE'S A LOT OF COLOR AND LINES ON THERE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE GREEN LINE, THAT'S THE 10 YEAR TREASURY YIELD THE RED AND THE BLUE OR THE SHORTER TERM. IT'S THE SIX MONTH AND THE TWO YEAR RATES. AND SO BACK IN JULY ARE JANUARY AROUND 2006. YOU SEE, THE GREEN LINE GOES BELOW THE SHORTER TERM RATES. AND THEN NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT, YOU SEE A PRETTY DRAMATIC DROP IN THE INTEREST RATES. UM AND THEN AGAIN IN 2018 YOU SEE THE THAT TENURE LINE THE GREEN LINE START TO COME DOWN BELOW THAT AND AGAIN, YOU HAVE A FALLING RATES. AND NOW WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW AGAIN, YOU'VE GOT THAT GREEN LINE PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER THE RED AND THE BLUE. SO KIND OF HISTORICALLY IT'S BEEN AN INDICATION OF RIGHT THAT RIGHTS ARE LIKELY TO FALL. AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT EVERYONE IS ANTICIPATING AT THIS POINT. AND THEN HERE'S JUST A LOOK AT THE CITY'S PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS AS OF THE END OF MARCH, AND SEEMS SO WE'VE GOT REALLY GOOD, ATTRACTIVE, WRITES THE TOP HALF OR YOUR LIQUID FUNDS. THOSE ALL OF THOSE FUNDS IN THAT TOP HALF THE CITY CAN GET IN ONE DAY WITH NO PROBLEM. THE INVESTMENTS BELOW THAT ARE THOSE LONGER TERM INVESTMENTS THAT WE'VE TIED UP FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME TO LOCK IN THOSE RATES IN THE BOX AND READ. THOSE ARE INVESTMENTS THAT WERE MADE DURING THIS THIRD QUARTER SO YOU CAN SEE THE CITY BEGAN TO SHIFT FANS INTO SOME OF THOSE LONGER TERM INVESTMENTS TO PREPARE FOR A FALLING RATE ENVIRONMENT. AND REALLY, THAT'S I THINK THAT'S THE KIND OF HIGHLIGHT OF THE SECOND QUARTER . I GUESS. THE QUARTER ENDING JUNE 30TH THIRD FISCAL QUARTER, SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS MAY HAVE ABOUT YOU CAN COVER COUNCILMAN MARK BURNETT.
THANK YOU. AND JUST REAL QUICK. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OFFSPRING IS AUTHORIZED BROKER SO THEY'RE NOT A BROKER THEIR MONEY MARKET FUND. THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. UM SO THERE IS . IT'S NOT REALLY A BROKER. IT IS A FUND, BUT YEAH, LET'S WE CAN WE CAN CHECK INTO THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT'S A GOOD POINT. BECAUSE, LIKE YEAH, WITH WITH TEXT BULL AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU DO NEED TO AUTHORIZE THAT. SO THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO CHECK IN NEED TO AMEND. AS SUCH.
RIGHT? SO I WILL TAKE THAT AS AN ITEM TO FOLLOW UP ON SO THANK YOU QUESTIONS. DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ADAM SIX B. RECEIVE THE FISCAL 2022 2023 2ND QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORT. WE JUST GOT THOSE TOGETHER, SO WE ALL WRITE TOGETHER. SEE. CITY COUNCIL TO
[6.C. City Council to receive an update on the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) / Audit for Fiscal Year 2022.]
RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT. AUDIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022. MR BALDWIN. THANK YOU, MERKEL, TIM. COUNCIL TO WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE UPDATE. WE OBVIOUSLY[03:30:08]
DON'T HAVE OPINIONS RENDERED YET BY THE AUDITORS, BUT THAT'S FORTHCOMING. SO I COULD DO IS JUST GO THROUGH THE SLIDE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UH, TRY TO ANSWER THEM HERE TONIGHT. I'VE GOT DENISE. HICKMAN HERE JUST TO HELP US OUT JUST IN CASE THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. THAT'S BEYOND MY KNOWLEDGE. LIKE I SAID, IT'S A FISCAL YEAR 2022 IT'S THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT KNOWN AS ACTOR . IT'S AN UPDATE SOME OF THIS INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY KNOWN, UH, SOME OF THE PUBLIC MAY LEARN SOME THINGS TONIGHT. MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT GET REFRESHED ON. BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M AWARE OF IT MYSELF.GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS THIS. REPORT. SOME QUICK BACKS. IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE ACTORS REQUIRES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO BE AN ALLIANCE WITH COMPLIANCE WITH THE GATSBY, THE GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD. AND THEY MUST BE HONORED IT ANNUALLY BY AN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR THAT GOES BY YOUR CHARTER. BUT ALSO IT WAS TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AS WELL. UM. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ORDERS OPINION MUST BE FILED WITHIN 180 DAYS. THAT HASN'T OCCURRED. BUT IT HAS TO BE FILED WITH THE MUNICIPAL SECRETARY IN OUR CASE, THE LAST DAY OF FOLLOWING THE FISCAL YEAR WITH 180 DAYS. BASED ON THE STATE'S BUDGET CYCLE, AND IN SEPTEMBER 30TH 2022. UM THIS ACTION SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED BY THE END OF MARCH. AGAIN. I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING YOU ALREADY DON'T KNOW. THERE ARE THREE MAIN PARKS TO THIS ACTOR OF THIS REPORT IS AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDES THE READER THROUGH THE PROCESS OF WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT TO ENCOUNTER IN THE REPORT. THE FINANCIAL IT PRESENTS THE BASIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION, THE AUDITOR'S OPINION, AND IT'S GOT VERY IMPORTANT. DOCUMENTED LIKE TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU DO GET IT THAT YOU FOCUS IN ON THE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND TAKE THAT IN CONCERT WITH THE INTRODUCTORY. I THINK IT GIVES A BETTER PICTURE AS YOU GO THROUGH THE FINANCIAL PORTION OF THE REPORT. CISCO PROVIDES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. AND INCLUDES ANY KIND OF FINANCIAL TRENDS THAT MAY BE BETTER. HELP EXPLAIN SOME OF THE INFORMATION YOU'RE READING.
ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES. WHO IS USED BY OBVIOUSLY THE PUBLIC. THIS BODY. INTERNALLY.
IT BASICALLY GIVES US THE, UM THE FISCAL HEALTH OF THE CITY IF YOU WILL, BUT I WANT TO REALLY HONE IN ON GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES AND BOND RATING AGENCIES. UH GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES YOUR FEDERAL GRANTS. THERE'S CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS UNDER CERTAIN GRANTS THAT REQUIRE AUDITS AS WELL. AND YOUR BOND RATING AGENCIES. LOOK AT THIS ACT FOR VERY CLOSELY TO SEE HOW WELL WE ARE MAINTAINING OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH. THOSE TWO THINGS MOVING FORWARD. I DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL, SO I COULDN'T GIVE YOU SPECIFICS. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THOSE ARE TWO AREAS WE NEED TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFECT FUTURE ASSUMING IT'S A MODIFIED SAY IT'S NOT A CLEAN REPORT. IT'S MODIFIED WITH SOME MATERIAL ISSUES. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT CAN COME BACK. TWO. BECAUSE CERTAIN ACTIONS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON A BOND OR ASKING ME ON A ON A GRANT. OR IT COULD BE A BOND RATING AGENCY LOOKING AT AND SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT WE SAW, AND THEY MAY TAKE SOME ACTION. NOT SAYING IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT I THINK THOSE TWO AREAS GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES AND BOND RATING AGENCIES OR SOMETHING YOU NEED TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO MOVING FORWARD. ON JULY 25TH. STAFF MET WITH MCCONNELL JONES.
YEAH, AND DISCUSSED WHAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY NEEDING. TWO. GET THIS AUDIT BEHIND US. THEY GAVE US A LIST OF DOCUMENTS THEY REQUESTED. FINAL TRIAL BALANCE WAS ONE OF THE THINGS AND THAT'S ONE OF THE LAST THINGS WERE GOING TO BE DOING BECAUSE SOME OF THIS STUFF IS RECONCILIATION, RECONCILE IN THE BOOKS AND WE'RE GOING BACK SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS JUST YOUR 19. 2021. WHAT HAVE YOU AND SOME OF THESE THINGS MAY . AND I'M NOT HERE TO ASSESS BLAME. I'M JUST TALKING WHERE IT IS. SOME OF THESE THINGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ON AN AUDIT THAT WAS COMPLETED. THERE'S SOME THINGS TO DO AND THEY WORK. MY UNDERSTANDING. SO REGARDLESS OF WHO LET'S LOOK AT WHAT HASN'T BEEN DONE AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO GET IT. WORK NEEDS TO BE STAFF IS WORKING DILIGENTLY ON THAT NOW I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE NEXT SLIDE AND SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING, UH, THE FINAL TRIAL AMOUNTS LIKE A SAIL BECOMING IN TOWARDS THE END OF THE PROPERTY TAX, RECONCILIATION, RECONCILIATION, INVESTMENT INCOME ALLOCATION BY FUND YOU CAN READ THROUGH THOSE SPORTS. UH IT'S REALLY FUN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, AGING SALES TAX ALLOCATION SUMMARY ON
[03:35:01]
THROUGH DOWN TO ACCRUED LIABILITY SUPPORT. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT DOCUMENTATION THEY ACTUALLY REQUESTED FROM. THE UNIVERSITY OF DUNCANVILLE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED SOME ISSUES. SOME OF THEM, WHICH INCLUDED WELL, THE ONES THAT I CONCLUDED WAS ENTERPRISE FUNDS ARE CURRENTLY RECORDED AS MODIFIED A CRUEL RATHER THAN FULL, CRUEL ENTERPRISE FUNDS. IT WAS LIKE A BUSINESS AND THEY LOOK AT FULL OF CRUEL FOR THAT PURPOSE. THE MODIFIEDS MORE FOR THE GOVERNMENTAL SIDE OF THE HOUSE, AND THAT'S WHEN IT'S MEASURABLE AND AVAILABLE. AND SO, WHEREAS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE HOUSE IT'S WHEN THAT EVENT OCCURS, WHETHER YOU GOT THE CASH OR WHAT IS RECEIVED OR SPENT, THAT'S YOU RECOGNIZE IT. SO THOSE THAT ASPECT OF IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT THEY HAD OTHER ISSUES AS WELL. THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE A PAYMENT TO WELLS FARGO. THAT ON THE GENERAL LEDGER THEY NOTED MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES WERE STILL CARRIED. UH, AS ACTIVE. YOU'RE IN THAT WERE TERMINATED IN 2018.AND THERE'S AN 800,000. UNRECONCILED DIFFERENCE IN THE CASH RECORD SILLY ATION AND THE TURNOVER AND ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT. CAUSE LONG TURNAROUNDS. FOR THE QUESTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE COLLEGE JONES AND THAT LAST BULLET YES. I'M SORRY. YES, SIR.
SORRY THE THIRD BULLET POINT THERE. YEAR END OF 2022. THE WHICH BULL ARE YOU IN THE THIRD ONE? NOTED MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES IS ACTIVE AT YEAR END THAT WERE TERMINATED IN 2018 IS THAT YOU'RE IN 2022. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YES. UM. THE LAST BULLET HERE TALKS ABOUT TURNOVER AND ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT AND IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE'S JUST NO SECURITY THERE. UH, THAT SAID, UH, I THINK WE'RE STARTING TO GET SOME OF THAT DRESS RATHER QUICKLY, THANKS TO HUMAN RESOURCES. WE NEED. WE HAD A REQUEST MADE OF THEM AND THEY STEPPED UP AND TOOK CARE OF WHAT WE NEEDED AND I'LL GET IN THAT. JUST A SECOND. BUT OUR EXPECTATIONS MOVING FORWARD THAT LIST I GAVE YOU ON THE ISSUES AND THE DOCUMENTS THEY REQUEST WHAT REQUESTED ARE BEING ADDRESSED. IT'S RIGHT NOW. IT'S A LITTLE BIT ALL OVER THE PLACE AS FAR AS SOME THINGS ARE FURTHER ALONG THAN OTHERS, BUT THEY ARE COMING TO THE CLOSE. WE EXPECT BY NEXT WEEK. ALL THIS STUFF WILL BE DELIVERED THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR SO THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE AUDIT AND CONTINUE ON. THAT SAID, UM, WE HAD NOT TODAY WE DON'T BUT WE HAD ACCOUNTANTS. THAT WE'RE DOING DATA ENTRY. AND WHILE THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, IT WASN'T HELPING US WITH THE AUDIT AND WE NEEDED THOSE ACCOUNTANTS FOCUS ON THE AUDIT. SO WE WENT AHEAD AND GOT WITH HR AND THAT CRUISE CREDIT WE GAVE THEM. I THINK IT WAS TUESDAY. WHEN THEY HANDED THE MEMO WHAT WE WERE NEEDED, AND BY THURSDAY, WE ALREADY HAD A CONFIRMATION THEY WERE GOING TO START MONDAY. THEY DID. WE GOT THEM SET UP YESTERDAY AND TODAY. THANKS FOR HOPPING. YOU CAN JUST LOOK AND SEE THINGS STARTING TO MOVE LIKE WE NEEDED TO THE COUNTY'S GOT WHERE THEY NEED TO GO AND, UM, 2023 BUDGET IS THE DATA ENTRY STILL OCCURRING, SO THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED AND WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. UH, STAFF IS, UH. PREPARED BECAUSE NOW WE'VE GOT THAT DEDICATED RESOURCES THERE TO NOT ONLY ADDRESS THE ISSUES BUT ANY FURTHER REQUESTS FROM MCCONNELL JONES WILL BE DONE IN A TIMELY, PROFESSIONAL AND ACCURATE WAY. UH THEY'RE TELLING US BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION WITH THEM. MCCONNELL JONES SAYS THAT A MINIMUM THEY'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 30 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE AUDIT. UH THEY SAID IT COULD. IT COULD BE AN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND CLARIFICATION. WHAT HAVE YOU THAT COULD ADD TO THAT TIME FRAME FOR COMPLETION. OUR GOAL IS BECAUSE WE MOVE THOSE RESOURCES CLOSER TO THE PROBLEM. THAT WE WON'T BE DELAYING ANYTHING THAT THAT'S UH THAT THAT NOT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. I'M HOPING THAT WORKS REALLY QUICK. SO THOSE ARE EXPECTATIONS MOVING FORWARD THAT WE GET IT DONE. ARE PART MY FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. I'M HOPING TO SEE EVERYTHING'S CLOSED OUT ON RN GIVEN THE FINAL TRIAL BALANCE, THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED. AND THEN AH CARDS FALL WHERE THEY MAY AND WE GET THIS REPORT DONE. WE'LL GET IT BEFORE COUNCIL AND THEN WE'LL GET IT TO THE CITY SECRETARY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH 1 43, ALBEIT LATE. YEAH. AND. WELL, THERE ARE SOME. CHALLENGES. MUNIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. THE. ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SOFTWARE THAT WE USE FOR THE ORGANIZATION.
THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES THERE . I'VE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO TOLERANT EUNICE. AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOMEBODY ONLINE. IF NOT, I'LL GIVE A CALL AGAIN TOMORROW, BUT BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET THEM AND STAFF TOGETHER IF WE DON'T ADDRESS SOME OF THE INTERNAL CONTROLS. THAT ARE
[03:40:07]
CURRENTLY LACKING. YOU'LL BE RIGHT BACK IN THE SAME BOAT NEXT YEAR, AND WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. SO WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND PUSH THAT ENVELOPE TO GET THEM IN HERE. UH LET'S GO THERE . I DON'T CARE HOW IT HAPPENS, BUT WE NEED STAFF. AND YOU NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND WORK OUT SOME OF THESE ISSUES. ASAP AND. WHERE THAT GOES. I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE YES, WE'VE GOT ATTENDED PLAN, BUT RIGHT NOW I NEED THEM AT THE TABLE. AS SOON AS WE GET THEM THERE, WE'LL START MAKING SOME PROGRESS. I THINK IN TRYING TO MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T RECUR. HAPPY TO ANSWERING QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO THAT THAT MINIMUM 30 DAYS FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THE AUDIENCE AUDIT IS CONTINGENT UPON THEM RECEIVING ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS THEY REQUEST? YES. AND WE SHOULD HAVE THOSE TWO NEXT WEEK. OKAY, IF NOT CENTER, BUT I WANT TO THERE'S A FEW THINGS IT'S ALL WERE LIKE SOME REPORTS ARE READY TO HAVE THREE REVIEWED. SOME OF THEM GOT THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED TO BE, UH, MAKE SURE THAT RECONCILED PROPERTY AND SOME OF IT JUST NEEDS NEEDS THE CURRENT 20 FISCAL YEAR 20 TO 2022 INFORMATION. AND THEN IT CAN BE SUBMITTED. SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT STAGES IN EACH OF THAT THING, BUT I GOT THREE PEOPLE DEDICATED TO THAT TASK.OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR. COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. THANK YOU, MAYOR, PROTEIN. MR BALDWIN. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH US NOW? THAT IS MY SEVENTH GRADE DAY. FULL DAY. WELCOME THANK YOU. AND I KNOW YOU'RE COMING IN AT A DIFFICULT TIME. UH YOU KNOW, THIS STAFF INHERITED, UH BUT TIME BOMB AH! THE. AND UNFORTUNATELY, COUNCIL HADN'T BEEN INFORMED VERY WELL. FOR THE PAST. UH, OF WHERE WE ARE. AND. LAST COUNCIL MAY REFER TO THIS AS MISSION CRITICAL, AND NOW I'M REFERRING TO THIS AS MISSION MORE CRITICAL. AH! YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT CASH RECONCILIATION. AND WE'RE ON THAT, SO, SO THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO ADDRESS AS WELL. UM I, TOO HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE AUDITORS AS THE HEAD OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. AND. HMM YES.
MCCONNELL JONES HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD PRIORITIZE AND TRY TO HELP US. BUT THANK YOU. THE BIGGEST THING I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT APRIL 30TH. I'M SORRY. APRIL 20TH. WE REALIZED THIS WAS A PROBLEM. AND I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS REALLY BUT APRIL 20TH. WE REALIZED THIS IS A PROBLEM AND NOW WE'RE AT A POINT. AND I HEARD, AT LEAST FROM THE PUBLIC COMMENTS LIKE AUGUST 15TH. WHY? I AGREE, UH WITH THAT, HOWEVER, I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY QUICKER THAN THAT. THAT AUGUST 11TH. IS PROBABLY ONE THAT BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHAT THIS AUDIT TEAM.
AH! YOU KNOW? MY ULTIMATE QUESTION IS GOING TO BE ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A ARE WE GOING TO HAVE IT ALL DONE? AND WHAT? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO HAVE? BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT I'M HEARING IS TELLING ME IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DISCLOSURE. THAT THAT'S. GOING TO DO THAT. THE OTHER SIDE TOO, AND TALKING TO HIM IS THAT WE'RE OVER BUDGET. ON THIS AS WELL IN TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT. AND THAT REALLY HAD TO DO WITH OUR OWN INEFFICIENCIES. AH! SO I NEED TO KNOW. WHERE WE ARE, YOU KNOW. ARE WE IN THE OCEAN? ARE WE CLOSE TO THE SHORE OR WE ON THE SHORE? AND. AH, YOU BROUGHT IT UP. I MEAN, THIS IS SOMETHING AND THAT'S WHY I THINK THAT THAT OUR COUNCIL AS WELL AS OUR CONSTITUENTS NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF IS BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DOING BOND PROJECTS, CAPITAL PROJECTS AND THAT STUFF AND HOW THIS AFFECTS UH, SO YES, WE. YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD YOU SAID THE HARD SOME STUFF. WELL, HOW MUCH STAFF ARE THEY DOING? WHAT ARE THEY DOING? AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO DON'T REALLY SPECIFICALLY WANT TO GET INTO THE WEEDS, BUT I'M ASKED LAST TIME ABOUT WHAT'S BAY ACCOUNTING TO IT? THE ONLY ONE I KNOW THAT THE C P A AND STUFF BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. AND THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE. WHERE I FEEL LIKE THAT. IT'S BEEN HELD TOO CLOSE TO THE CHEST. AND WHEN WE'RE IN THE PROBLEM THAT WE'RE
[03:45:01]
IN BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS DIRECTOR. AND THEIR LACK OF DISCLOSURE. AND I'VE ASKING FOR DISCLOSURE AND FULL DISCLOSURE BECAUSE EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING AND WHERE WE ARE. WELL, YOU YOU, YOU. GAVE ME QUITE A BIT OF STUFF THERE TO TALK ABOUT, BUT LET ME GO BACK.START WITH THE STAFF WE HIRED NOW THAT IS NOT A T TWO CONSULTANT TYPE OF CONTRACT THAT IS A EXISTING CONTRACT THAT THE CITY ALREADY HAD WITH APPLE ONE I BELIEVE. AH! SO WE'VE HIRED TO AND THEY ARE DOING THE ENTRIES LIKE I SAID FOR 2023, SO WE DON'T FALL BEHIND WHY WE PULL THOSE ACCOUNTANTS OVER TO ADDRESS THE ACCOUNTANT. THE AUDIT. AS FAR AS THE TIMING OF.
THE ROLE IN THAT'S PART OF MY DISCUSSION FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR FISCAL YEAR 24. THAT'S PART OF MY DISCUSSIONS WITH ME AND THIS, UM MOVING FORWARD. THE REGARDLESS OF. OH HOW WE GOT HERE. I THINK THAT YOU CAN ONLY DEDICATE THE RESOURCES YOU CAN GET. DEDICATE THE TIME WE GOTTA WE CAN'T KEEP MOVING THE GOAL POST. WE'VE GOT TO CLOSE OUT FISCAL YEAR 2022. GOOD BAD OR UGLY. MAYBE ALL THREE. I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. WHAT IS IT IS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE HAVE IS BECAUSE, UH, SOME OF THIS STUFF IS A LITTLE BIT DATED, SO GOING BACK AND TRYING TO FIGURE THAT INFORMATION OUT A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING. THAT SAID, UH, WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT WE CAN WITHIN THE TIME PERMITTED, BUT WE ARE WE'RE COMING TO A CLOSE ON OUR PART OF IT. THERE'S NOT MUCH MORE WE'RE GOING TO DO. IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT THAT WHAT THEY REALLY NEED IS THAT FINAL TRIAL BALANCE AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS JUST NOT READY. IT'S PRETTY CLOSE, AND I EXPECT BY THIS THIS TIME NEXT WEEK, WE SHOULD ALREADY BE WAITING FOR THEM TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD. UH, WHAT YOU SEE TONIGHT SCHEMING. WHAT YOU SEE TONIGHT ON THE SCREEN IS EXACTLY THE INFORMATION THAT THEY PROVIDED TO US ON THE TUESDAY MEETING. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM AT ANY TIME COMING FOR COUNCIL AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, IF WHETHER IT'S WEEKLY MONTHLY. I DON'T EUROS DECISION. I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE TAKEN MUCH LONGER ON OUR PART, AND I CAN GIVE YOU UPDATES AS OFTEN AS YOU WOULD LIKE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU ALL TO BE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. UM AND SOME OF THEM AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE BOND RAIDS AGENCY IS GOING TO RAISE OR LOWER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THAT OPINION YET FROM THE AUDITOR, AND NEITHER DOES ANYBODY ELSE.
THEY DON'T KNOW. BUT ONCE THEY GET IT DONE, I THINK WE'LL HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT TO PREPARE OURSELVES FOR WHETHER IT'S UH MAYBE WE HAD PLANS TO ISSUE DEBT. AND MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO FINANCE THAT INTERNALLY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RESTRUCTURING OF HOW YOU'RE OPERATING TODAY. SO THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS TO MITIGATE SOME OF THAT DAMAGE. IF THAT'S THE CASE, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I MEAN, ULTIMATELY, THE ULTIMATE THING IS WELL, OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THIS BY MARCH. 31ST? YES. HADN'T HAPPENED. SIX WEEKS AGO, WE WERE IN THE SAME POSITION. OKAY WE'RE STILL AND IT'S LIKE OKAY? I DON'T KNOW HOW PRIVILEGED YOU ARE, BUT I MEAN. IT'S ASKING FOR THE SAME STUFF, AND ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE IN THE SAME POSITION.
THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING WE'RE AT MISSION CRITICAL WHERE ADMISSION MORE CRITICAL. WE'VE WE'VE GIVING MONEY TO PAY. I MEAN, THE BOTTOM LINE IS I AS I WANT THIS STUFF. DONE. AND UH, YOU KNOW THIS CITY IT IS. I MEAN, IT'S. YOU KNOW IT'S ON FIRE. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IN TERMS OF THIS AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS, AND IT'S. IT'S. IT'S JUST A HORRIBLE REFLECTION. AH! AND.
MAY I ASK ME MY ADD SOMETHING THERE. I KNOW THERE'S THINGS THAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST SOME OF THIS INFORMATION THEY'VE ASKED FOR. I ASKED THE SAME QUESTION WHEN WE WERE IN THE MEETING, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A NEW STUFF. BUT I FOUND OUT THAT SOME OF THIS STUFF WAS STILL LINGERING. BUT THAT SAID, I ALSO DON'T THINK THAT THE RESOURCES WERE DEDICATED. I THINK THEY ARE NOW TO ADDRESSING THESE BAD THINGS FASTER AND MORE ACCURATELY. BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE. I MEAN, IT'S MY JOB TO FACILITATE THE OUTCOME YOU'RE WANTING, AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON ME AND WHETHER WE'RE MAKING IT AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM SHARING WHAT I'M DOING AND AT ANY TIME, BUT REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE WERE NO, WE DIDN'T MAKE THE DEADLINE. AND IT IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING. NOT A LITTLE. IT IS EMBARRASSING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE. IT'S WHERE WE'RE AT, AND IT'S WHAT WE DECIDED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. THAT REALLY COUNTS, AND I THINK IF WE CAN FOCUS ON WHAT WE'VE GOT BEFORE US AND GET THAT INFORMATION TO THEM, AND THEY CAN GET THIS AUDIT. DONE UH AND IF IT'S ANY LAG TIME, ANY KIND
[03:50:02]
OF DRAWBACKS WHEREVER THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON LOOK, TOO, BECAUSE I'M THE ONE THAT'S FACILITATING THIS OUTCOME. STAFF DOING A GOOD JOB. THEY'RE FOCUSED WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.AND WE GOT THE HANDS ON DECK. AS FAR AS BAY. I WOULD ASK THAT THAT BE SOMETHING ON ANOTHER JUST ANOTHER DISCUSSION BECAUSE THERE'S MORE TO THAT PICTURE THAN WHAT YOU'VE GOT HERE BEFORE YOU ABOUT THE AUDIT. THERE'S OTHER ISSUES THAT HAVE ALREADY OR OTHER THERE'S ANOTHER STRUCTURE THAT'S CREATED FOR A REASON THAT WELL, MAYBE NECESSARY, BUT NOW IT MAY NOT BE IN THE FUTURE, BUT WE'VE GOT TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, SO I ASKED ABOUT CASH. AND RECONCILIATION, SO I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING IN THE IN THAT REGARD YET. I THINK I THINK WE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. AND THAT'S I MEAN TO ME, THAT'S PRIMARY. OKAY SO ON THE CASH RECONCILIATIONS, AS WE HAD SAID LAST YEAR OR FOR THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE HAD INSTITUTED THE MIND SPHERE BANK RECONCILIATION BECAUSE MUNIS BANK RECONCILIATION WHEN WE HAD TALKED TO MUNIS, AND EVEN BEFORE I STARTED IN AUGUST, UM THE STAFF WHO WAS HERE COULDN'T GET THE UH, THAT BANK RECONCILIATION IN THAT E R P SYSTEM TO WORK. SO UM, AND NOW WE ARE UTILIZING THE BANK RECONCILIATION PROCESS THAT WE PUSH A BUTTON. WE IMPORT THE B A. I FILES INTO THE RECONCILIATION AND IT AND MASSAGES AND MATCHES UP THE ITEMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RECORDED AND WERE ABLE TO RECORD THOSE ITEMS WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE BAKED UH, WE HAVE THREE BANK ACCOUNTS, THE LARGEST OF WHICH IS 51 PAGES, AND WE'RE NOT GOING THROUGH THAT WITH OUR EYES WERE ACTUALLY UTILIZING A MECHANISM BY WHICH WE CAN WE CAN PRESS IT AND WE ARE ABLE TO REVIEW THOSE BANK ACCOUNTS MAKE THOSE TRANSACTIONS AND WE HAVE DONE THOSE PROCESSES UP UNTIL JUNE. DOPE. JUNE OF JUNE OF 23 23 RUN THOSE THOSE PROCESS. I'M GOING TO SAY THAT THE FAVORABLE IF WE IF WE RECEIVE THAT INFORMATION. I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING IS WE HAD A PROBLEM, OKAY? AND THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS PROBLEM IS BY US KNOWING WE'RE THE OVERSIGHT WERE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO GET THE HASSLE ON IT. I DON'T HAVE NO DISAGREEMENT THAT THAT THE CITY STAFFS AND THEY'RE WORKING HARD . I'M I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF THE CITY STAFF. AND I KNOW THAT THEY REALLY TRYING THEIR HEARTS HERE. AND THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IT. BUT IT'S THIS WHOLE THING. WE WAITED. AND THE AND THE WHOLE POINT IS WE COULD HAVE HAD THE MERCENARIES IN AND THIS TAKEN CARE OF A WHOLE LOT SOONER. YEAH. THERE WAS TRANSPARENCY.
AND. YOU KNOW, AND HERE WE ARE. WE'RE KIND OF THE FINAL HOUR. AND I DON'T KNOW. STILL. ARE WE GOING TO MAKE IT OR WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT. WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE TO THE SHORE. ARE WE GOING TO LAND? I THINK WE'RE COMING IN FOR A LANDING IS THE US MY PERSONAL OPINION FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN AND WHAT I KNOW OF, BUT LIKE I SAID, IT'S MY JOB WORKING WITH STAFF TO GET THIS THING BEHIND US, AND I THINK WE'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS. I CAN'T TELL YOU THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THOSE ADDITIONAL STAFF MEMBERS TO FREE UP THOSE ACCOUNTANTS. AND SO THAT'S A HUGE IMPROVEMENT. TODAY ANYBODY WALKED THROUGH THERE AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. YOU'D BE VERY THANKFUL THAT WE HAD THAT EXTRA STAFF THERE. SO WE'RE NOT FALLING BEHIND IN 2023 WE'RE DEALING WITH, BUT WE'RE DEALING MORE SPECIFICALLY WITH THE AUDIT BY HAVING FREED UP THOSE PEOPLE, SO IT'S GONNA TAKE PEOPLE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME. BUT I THINK WE'RE COMING IN FOR THE LANDING.
AND I THINK, UH, NOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE ANYONE'S GUESS I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA BE PRETTY. I'LL GIVE YOU MY OWN OPINION ON THAT. BUT I DO THINK WE'LL HAVE IT CLOSED OUT FAIRLY SOON. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU. GOOD AND THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM. UM DONE, COUNCILMAN DONE. HIT ON ONE OF MY QUESTIONS, AND IT WAS ABOUT THE RECONCILIATION BECAUSE I DIDN'T HEAR IT EITHER. UM HOW ARE WE APPROACHING THE RECONCILIATION? ARE WE USING MUNIS? BECAUSE FROM MY UNDERSTANDING MUNIS IS NOT UH, THE BEST PRODUCT TO USE FOR RECONCILIATIONS, SO THAT WAS ANSWERED. THEY WERE NOT USING. MUNIZ. UM OKAY. AND THEN SO LET ME START WITH SAYING THANK YOU.
FIRST OF ALL. THANK YOU WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO IN THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. CREATE STRUCTURE, CREATE A STRATEGY ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO APPROACH AND YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED PEOPLE WHO WILL CONTINUE ON WITH 2023 AND IDENTIFY STAFF WHO WILL WORK ON DEDICATED TO GETTING THE THINGS THAT WE NEED DONE AS FAR AS CLOSING OUT 2020 TO APPRECIATE THAT. UM, WHAT I ASKED FOR
[03:55:02]
MOVING FORWARD IS THE CONTINUED OPEN COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPARENCY AS STATED BY MACBOOK COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. IS UM YOU CAN TELL THE FRUSTRATION IT'S IN, RIGHTFULLY SO. UH UM.BUT. IN ORDER FOR US TO GET PAST THIS AND TO BUILD. WE HAVE TO KEEP COMMUNICATION LINES OPEN.
SO THAT WAY WE KNOW AND WE'RE CONFIDENT IN SUPPORTING WHATEVER IS NEEDED TO GET US PAST THIS FOR ME. BEING ABLE TO VOTE YES, ON CERTAIN THINGS. IT'S BECAUSE I WASN'T CLEAR ON WHERE WE WERE WHERE WE ARE OUR CURRENT STATUS. SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE WORKING TOWARDS BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE US THAT AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT. SO OPEN COMMUNICATION. TRANSPARENCY IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING. THANK YOU, AND I APPRECIATE THE COMMENT, AND IT'S . IT'S NOT THAT ANYONE DOESN'T WANT TO GET WHERE WE'RE WANTING TO BE. IT'S JUST, UH IT'S JUST REALIGNING A FEW THINGS AND KIND OF GET MORE FOCUSED ON THE PRIORITIES AND WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE. WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF 2023 OR YOU'LL BE RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU WERE. I'M NOT A FAN OF MUNIS, SO FAR, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S A BAD ONE. IT'S DESIGNED WHEN YOU CLICK ON CERTAIN BUTTONS, AND YOU CAN DO A TRIAL MOUNTAIN TELLS YOU WHAT'S NOT BALANCED. AND YOU CAN GO RIGHT IN THOSE AREAS. I MEAN, THEN YOU CLICK ON CERTAIN FIELDS, AND YOU CAN JUST PREP YOUR STATEMENTS. IT'S DESIGNED TO DO WHAT WHAT I THINK WE ALL WANT. WHETHER AND IT WAS SET UP , RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS SET UP RIGHT AND IT'S JUST BEEN MODIFIED OVER THE YEARS. I DON'T KNOW THE STORY IS, BUT I KNOW IT'S NOT RESPONSIVE TO STAFFER. WE WOULDN'T BE. UH UM, HAVING A VENDOR SENDING STUFF THE VENDOR TO FIX IT TO TURN IT BACK TO US, SO WE CAN GET IT BACK IN OUR SYSTEM. THAT'S NOT THAT'S WASTING THE MONEY, AND IT'S NOT. IT'S DOUBLE WORK FOR EVERYBODY, AND THERE'S JUST LOTS OF BAD THINGS GOING ON IN THAT REGARD, BUT MUNIS IS AS SOON AS THEY GET A POINT OF CONTACT. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD HIM IN MY EMAIL, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO MEET WITH STAFF AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO START WORKING THROUGH THESE ISSUES, AND THAT AND AGAIN, IT GOES BACK TO YOUR INTERNAL CONTROLS.
