[00:00:04]
GOOD EVENING.[1. Call to Order of the Edmond City Council Meeting.]
ITEM TWO[A. City Manager's Update: Sales, Use, and Lodging Tax Wayfinding]
ON THE AGENDA IS PRESENTATIONS.YES, THE MUCH ANTICIPATED, UH, CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.
SO ACTUALLY REALLY QUICKLY, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, YOU KNOW THAT, UH, I WANT IT WITH YOUR INDULGENCE.
I WANT TO KIND OF TINKER A LITTLE BIT WITH HOW WE DO, UH, SOME OF THIS, UH, MAKE IT A LITTLE LESS PRO FORMA AND A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC MAYBE AT TIMES TO THE INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT OR SOME THINGS THAT ARE MORE RELEVANT, UH, IN OUR COMMUNITY.
BUT I KNOW THAT, UH, SALES TAX COLLECTION'S A BIG PART OF THAT.
SO WE'LL GO THROUGH SOME NUMBERS TONIGHT.
UH, SO IT LOOKS LIKE THROUGH MONTH END, UH, OCTOBER, UH, FOR SALES TAX, WE ARE DOWN, UH, 1.16%, ALTHOUGH THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS ON THE HORIZON BECAUSE NOVEMBER IS GOING TO, UH, UH, SHOW AN INCREASE.
BUT, UH, SALES TAX THROUGH MONTH END OCTOBER, WE'RE DOWN 1.16%, UH, USE TAX, UH, THROUGH MONTH END OCTOBER DOWN YEAR TO DATE.
AND I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT IN THE FIRST, UH, ABOUT SALES TAX TOO YEAR TO DATE, WE'RE DOWN 1.51%, UM, SALES AND USE TAX COMBINED.
AGAIN, YEAR TO DATE THROUGH MONTH END, OCTOBER, WE ARE DOWN 1.22%.
I KNOW THAT, UH, UH, YOU HAVE HISTORICALLY LOOKED AT TRENDS, UM, IN OTHER CITIES.
UM, UH, WE HAPPEN TO BE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THAT, THAT COMPARISON AND THROUGH MONTH END OCTOBER, THAT WE ARE THE ONLY CITY THAT IS DOWN IN THE THREE CATEGORIES.
UH, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT SAY YUKON, UH, I GUESS THEY'RE DOWN IN ALL THREE AS WELL, BUT, AND BY WIDER, UH, BY BIGGER MARGINS THAN WE ARE.
BUT HOPEFULLY THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS ON THE HORIZON.
AND THEN, UH, THE LODGING TAX, UH, WE ARE BASICALLY FLAT, BUT DOWN 0.12%.
ANY QUESTIONS? AND THEN GOING FORWARD, I ACTUALLY ANTICIPATE THAT WILL TURN THAT INTO A SLIGHTLY BROADER, WITH, WITH YOUR APPROVAL, UH, A SLIGHTLY BROADER DISCUSSION OF FINANCES AS A WHOLE, AND PROBABLY BRING THE FINANCE DIRECTOR INTO THE CONVERSATION AND MAYBE DIVE INTO SOME OF THE TRENDS JUST A LITTLE BIT.
UH, WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
THE OTHER, UH, INTERESTING PART OF THE UPDATE TONIGHT IS I WANTED TO GIVE, UH, SOME OTHER STAFF A CHANCE TO, UH, TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENED.
AND THAT IS THE, THE WAY FINDING, UH, OF THE IN, UH, INSTALLATION AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE, UH, THE WAY FINDING SIGNS.
AND JENNIFER THORNTON IS GOING TO COME UP, AND I'LL SAY THAT I WAS PARTICULARLY SURPRISED AND IMPRESSED TO KNOW THAT APPARENTLY AT ONE POINT JENNIFER DREW THE SHORT STRAW AND SO WAS ASSIGNED THE, UH, THE WAY FINDING PROJECT.
BUT, UM, I HAVE HEARD, EXCUSE ME, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT, UM, IN THE SHORT TIME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE.
AND SO I WANTED TO GIVE JENNIFER AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRIEF THE COUNCIL ON THE, UM, THE OVERALL PLAN AND THE EFFORT TO PUT UP THE SIGNS AND PROVIDE A LITTLE CONTEXT AND SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU.
I'M JENNIFER THORNTON, TOURISM DIRECTOR, AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF LEADING THIS PROJECT.
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN, UM, ON THE CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN SINCE 2017 OR MAYBE EVEN BEFORE.
SO THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON OUR RADAR THAT WHEN YOU GO TO OTHER CITIES, A LOT OF TIMES YOU SEE SOME SIGNS THAT TELL YOU, UM, ABOUT SOME ATTRACTIONS.
AND IT REALLY SHOWS COMMUNITIES THAT WE CARE.
SO IT IS FOR TRAVELERS, IT'S FOR VISITORS, BUT IT'S ALSO FOR RESIDENTS AND NEWCOMERS.
UM, YOU MIGHT HAVE, UM, A GOOGLE MAP AND YOU'RE GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE AS YOU'RE GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE.
AS YOU'RE GOING TO A SPORTS FACILITY, YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THAT, OH, THERE'S A DOG PARK AND OH, THERE'S A LIBRARY AND THERE'S A CONFERENCE CENTER AND OH, THAT WAY TO DOWNTOWN.
SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT WERE IMPORTANT.
UM, DURING COVI, WE WERE ABLE TO GET SOME GRANTS, AND THAT REALLY SPURRED THE DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS.
SO WE GOT A GRANT FROM, UM, THE ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA GOVERNMENTS AND FROM ARPA FUNDING AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN.
SO REALLY, I JUST WANTED TO THANK ALL THE DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY.
YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY HANDS WERE IN THIS PROJECT TO GET IT, TO GET THEM UP.
UM, EVERYONE FROM MARKETING AND PLANNING AND ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC SAFETY, UM, LOTS OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THAT WORK TOGETHER.
SO THERE ARE 100 SIGNS UP RIGHT NOW POINTING TO PARKS, SPORTS FACILITIES.
UM, WE WERE REALLY CAREFUL NOT TO POINT TO ANY PRIVATE BUSINESSES THAT CAN CHANGE.
[00:05:01]
UM, THE SIGNS ARE MODULAR, SO WHEN YOU SEE, UM, EACH ROW THAT THAT CAN BE CHANGED AND UPDATED AS NEEDED, WE ALSO HAVE ATTIC STOCK.THESE ARE THE TERMS I GOT TO LEARN IN THE PROJECT.
SO WE HAVE SOME STORAGE FOR EXTRAS IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS.
UM, THEY ARE VERY SAFE, THEY'RE BREAKAWAY.
SO, UM, WE WORKED WITH OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO FOLLOW THE, THE RULES AND THE GUIDELINES TO MAKE THEM SAFE.
AND THE SIZE IS ACCORDING TO, UM, STANDARDS FOR SAFETY.
SO THERE'S VERY SPECIFIC RULES THAT TELL YOU HOW, UM, TALL THE SIGN SHOULD BE, AS WELL AS HOW LARGE THE LETTERS SHOULD BE, DEPENDING ON THE, UM, SPEED LIMIT.
SO IT WAS A GREAT LEARNING PROCESS.
YMCA IS EXCITED, AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE.
UM, BUT A LOT OF OUR ATTRACTIONS ARE REALLY EXCITED THAT IT POINTS TO THEM.
AND, UM, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW AND SAY HOW WE'RE EXCITED THAT THESE ARE UP.
ALSO, THE DESIGN WAS VERY INTENTIONAL.
UM, EDMOND STARTED AT A RAIL ROAD, AS YOU KNOW, AND SO THAT WAS THE SIGN, UM, DESIGN.
AND ON THE BACK FOR THE DOWNTOWN SIGNS, IT'S THE COLORS FOR OUR LOGO, THE DOWNTOWN LOGO, THE VIBRANT COLORS.
SO THOSE THINGS WERE VERY, UM, PLANNED OUT AND TRIED TO BE, WE KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE UP FOR A LONG TIME AT EDMOND.
SO HE WANTED TO MAKE IT, UM, LOOK GREAT.
IF I COULD JUST COMMENT AND SAY THAT I LOVE THE SIGNS, I LOVE THE WAY THEY LOOK AND ALL THE THOUGHT THAT WAS PUT INTO THEM.
UM, I DID HAVE ONE CITIZEN ASKED ME A QUESTION OF, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY THINK THAT WAS THE BEST USE OF FUNDING? AND I SAID, WELL, IT WAS FROM A GRANT.
SO YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD USE OF, OF THAT GRANTS THAT, UM, THAT WERE PURSUED.
AND I APPRECIATE THE CREATIVITY OF STAFF, UH, TO FUND SPECIAL PROJECTS LIKE THIS.
UM, I HOPE IT DOES MAKE VISITORS FEEL MORE WELCOME, BUT I DID HAVE SOMEONE WHO REACH OUT TO ME WHO'S LIVED IN EDMOND A LONG TIME, AND THEY GIVE DIRECTIONS LIKE I DO, WHICH IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S OVER BY INSTEAD OF AN ACTUAL DIRECTION.
BUT THEY SAID THAT SEEING THE SIGN PROMPTED THEM TO THINK THROUGH ABOUT THE PROXIMITY, AND INSTEAD OF GETTING OUT THEIR PHONE, THEY USE THE WAY FINDING SIGN.
SO IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT JUST FOR VISITORS.
IT CAN HELP IMPROVE OUR OWN ROAD HABITS OF MAYBE, UM, NOT BEING ON OUR PHONE, NOT RELYING ON OUR PHONES AS MUCH WHEN WE'RE DRIVING, UM, BECAUSE THAT IS, UM, IT'S AGAINST THE LAW.
SO
AND JUST THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THIS.
I KNOW IT WAS A LONG PROJECT THANKS TO ALL THE CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT WERE INVOLVED.
I, IT BRINGS ME A LOT OF JOY TO SEE THEM UP AROUND TOWN.
ANYONE ELSE? I'LL JUST ADD TO IT THAT I THINK ALL OF US ARE INCREDIBLY THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU WHO WORKED ON THIS PROJECT.
AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT SAY, WHY DO WE SPEND OUR MONEY ON THAT? I THINK MOST OF US HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO TO NORMAN, DO YOU LIKE THOSE SIGNS DOWN THERE THAT HELP YOU FIND THE FOOTBALL STATE? OH YEAH, THOSE ARE GREAT.
WELL, IT'S 'CAUSE YOU DON'T LIVE IN NORMAN AND YOU'RE GOING SOMEWHERE.
MAYBE YOU DO KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS.
I THINK JUST A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT IN THOSE TERMS, THAT THIS IS ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE WHO COME TO OUR CITY FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY'RE GOING.
SO I MEAN, THIS HAS, THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE.
I GET 40 OR 50 WONDERFUL COMMENTS FOR EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT JUST THINK, WHY'D WE DO THAT? AND THEY'RE OUT THERE.
BUT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN EDMOND FOR THEIR MAYBE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AND THEY KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS TRUE.
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME MR. KRIEGER.
YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR US? NO, SIR.

Consideration of Approval of a Budget Amendment for a Supplemental Appropriation from the Police Public Safety Limited Tax Fund (PPSLTF) Restricted Reserves to the Police Public Safety Limited Tax Fund (PPSLTF) Budget for Contract Services to Fund the Flock Safety Agreement; $35,485.16. (Citywide)]
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FROM THE POLICE.PUBLIC SAFETY LIMITED TAX FUND, RESTRICTED RESERVES TO THE POLICE PUBLIC SAFETY LIMITED TAX FUND BUDGET FOR CONTRACT SERVICES TO FUND THE FLOCK SAFETY AGREEMENT.
CHIEF THANK YOU MAYOR COUNCIL, JD YOUNGER, UH, CHIEF OF YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UM, GET THE OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT ITEM A.
UM, AND WHILE THIS MAY SEEM ROUTINE TO MOST THESE PUBLIC HEARINGS, I THINK THIS IS A PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TOPIC BECAUSE ONE, IT WAS LISTED IN OUR BUDGET PLANNING SESSIONS FOR THIS YEAR'S FISCAL, UH, BUDGET.
AND THE REASON IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN FUNDING IS 'CAUSE WE WANTED TO BRING IT BACK TO YOU WHEN WE WERE AT A POSITION TO ENTER THIS CONTRACT.
UH, BECAUSE, UH, THIS PARTICULAR TRAILER HAS A SECURITY OR SAFETY CAMERA ON IT.
AND WE ALWAYS WANT TO BE COGNIZANT OF THE CONCERNS THAT SOME MIGHT HAVE ABOUT USING THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO AS A REMINDER, WE HAVE A CURRENT RELATIONSHIP, UH, WITH FLOCK THAT WE LEASE OUR LICENSE PLATE READER CAMERAS FROM.
AND WHEN WE WENT INTO THAT, WE DIDN'T GO INTO IT LIGHTLY.
WE DID IT THROUGH CONSULTATION WITH THE COMMUNITY POLICING BOARD.
UH, WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED BEST PRACTICES AS FAR AS WHO'S TRAINED TO UTILIZE THAT DATA, HOW LONG THAT DATA IS RETAINED, UH, AND HOW WE TRACK ACCESS TO THAT DATA.
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO, TO ADVISE Y'ALL THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING BEST PRACTICES.
UH, IN ADDITION, WE HAVE A TRANSPARENCY PORTAL ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S WEBSITE, UH, WHERE ANYONE THAT WAS INTERESTED CAN GO TO THAT PORTAL AND SEE HOW MANY TAG READS THERE ARE EACH MONTH.
UH, WE THINK THOSE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO, UH, TO MAINTAIN THE TRUST WITH OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE USING THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY, UH, IN A PRUDENT, UH, MANNER THAT, THAT RECOGNIZES YOUR PRIVACY INTERESTS.
BUT TO ITEM A, UH, SO AGAIN, THIS PROVIDED BY FLOCK, IT IS, UH, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THESE THINGS AND NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU'VE SEEN.
UH, THEY'RE TYPICALLY DEPLOYED AT LIKE CONSTRUCTION SITES.
UH, OR IF YOU WENT TO THE STATE FAIR, UH, WHERE IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A GENERATOR ON A, ON A SMALL TRAILER, IT'S SOLAR POWERED REALLY.
UH, IT'LL HAVE A BOOM OR A, UH, AN ARM THAT STICKS UP 20 OR SO FEET IN THE AIR.
AND A LOT OF 'EM HAVE A FLASHING LIGHT AT THE TOP.
UH, OURS WILL HAVE THAT AS WELL.
IT'LL BE A BLUE FLASHING LIGHT.
UH, BUT WHAT IT DOES IS IT'S JUST A CAMERA THAT'S DEPLOYED.
UH, WE INTEND TO USE IT, UH, AT EVENTS THAT HAVE LARGE DENSITY.
UH, YOU MIGHT EVEN THINK OF LUMINANCE, UH, THAT WE JUST, UH, OPENED LAST FRIDAY, WHERE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WE'VE HAD DIFFERENT INCIDENTS OF VANDALISM, SMALL VANDALISM, UH, UH, OUR, OUR BURGLARIES.
THEY BREAK INTO A SHACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
WELL, WE KNOW IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMING TO AN AREA, WE COULD DEPLOY THIS ASSET AND THEN BE ABLE TO RESPOND, UH, TO ANY REPORTED CRIME IN A BETTER WAY.
UH, SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING COUNSEL TO APPROVE TONIGHT, UM, IS A PRORATED PORTION OF FUNDS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO ENTER INTO THIS CONTRACT THROUGH THE REMAINING OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.
UH, AND THEN OUR CONTRACTS WE RENEW ON MAY THE FIRST OF EACH YEAR.
AND SO IT ALSO HAS FUNDS, UH, THAT WE COULD ENTER A, ENTER A FULL YEAR'S CONTRACT ON MAY 1ST.
SO WITH THAT, I'D TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, THE ITEM BEING PROPOSED.
ANY QUESTIONS? I APPRECIATE THE TRANSPARENCY AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY.
APPRECIATE YOU GUYS THINKING THROUGH THAT.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE, ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO'D
[00:15:01]
LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? SEEING NONE.SECOND MAYOR, I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND CAST YOUR VOTE.
[B. Consideration of Approval of a Budget Amendment for a Supplemental Appropriation Recording Donation Revenue and Increasing the Police Budget by Said Amount; $12,559.36. (Citywide)]
10 B, CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION, RECORDING DONATION REVENUE, AND INCREASING THE POLICE BUDGET BY SET AMOUNT.SO ITEM B IS IS ONE THAT TYPICALLY BRINGS SMILES TO PEOPLE'S FACES.
UH, PEOPLE LOVE ANIMALS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS HISTORICALLY HAD ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO THREE K NINES, UH, ASSIGNED TO OFFICERS.
OUR CURRENT POSTURE IS WE'D LIKE TO HAVE TWO CAN NINES.
UH, WE HAD ONE RETIRE EARLIER THIS YEAR, SO THIS WILL BE THE PURCHASE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR SECOND K NINE.
UH, SERGEANT JT ALBRIGHT IS CURRENTLY A CANINE OFFICER AND, AND YOU MAY READ ABOUT HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR SEE HIM AROUND THE COMMUNITY.
UH, SO, SO THIS K NINE WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO OFFICER CALEB HODA.
UM, AND SO THE MONEY IN FRONT OF YOU IS A DONATION.
WE HAD A, UH, CITIZEN A FEW YEARS BACK WANTED TO SUPPORT OUR CANINE PROGRAM.
WE WERE NOT IN NEED OF A CANINE AT THAT TIME.
SO THAT MONEY WAS DONATED TO THE EDMUND CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TO HOLD UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THE DEPARTMENT WAS IN A POSITION TO ACQUIRE ANOTHER K NINE.
AND SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE K NINE, UH, IDENTIFIED THE SCHOOL.
AND AS YOU CAN READ IN THIS PROPOSAL, UH, THE TOTAL COST OF THE, OF THE ENDEAVOR TO BOTH PURCHASE THE, THE CANINE, THE EQUIPMENT THAT GOES WITH IT AND THEN SEND THE OFFICER TO TRAINING IS SOMEWHERE AROUND $25,000.
UH, BUT THIS MONEY THAT'S, THAT'S BEING ASKED TO RECEIPT TODAY WOULD PAY FOR THE TRAVEL AND TRAINING.
SO ROUGHLY 5500, 50 $600 FOR THE OFFICER.
AND THE REMAINING WOULD BE APPLIED TOWARDS THE ACTUAL PURCHASE OF THE, OF THE DOG AND THE EQUIPMENT.
AND SO, UH, WE'RE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO REACH THIS, UH, JUNCTION.
I KNOW THAT, UH, THE CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, UH, IS ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP.
UH, BUT WHEN THEY HAVE THAT MONEY ON THEIR BOOKS, THEY REALLY WANT TO GET IT TO WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO.
SO I THINK EVERYBODY WILL BE PLEASED WITH THE EVENTUAL OUTCOME OF ANOTHER CANINE ON THE STREET.
I KNOW THE OFFICER'S LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AND I KNOW THE COMMUNITY ENJOYS IT.
ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? I'M GOING TO NEED TO SEE PHOTOS OF THE DOG.
WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO? MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 10 B.
CHIEF, I GUESS YOU'RE JUST GONNA STAY UP HERE, AREN'T YOU?

AND ITEM TWO, CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION RECORDING GRANT REVENUE AND INCREASING POLICE BUDGET FOR EQUIPMENT BY SET AMOUNT, $987 56 CENTS.
UH, I KNOW YOU AND COUNCIL KNOW THAT ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT, UH, SERVICES THAT YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT PROVIDES THIS COMMUNITY IS, IS OUR PARTNERSHIP AND PROTECTION OF CHILDREN.
AND SO THE OKLAHOMA STATE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, UH, RUNS A GREAT PROGRAM WITH INTERNET CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, AGENCIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE PARTNER IN SHARING INFORMATION AND RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.
AND SO THE $987 AND 56 CENTS, UH, ASKED FOR HERE AS A GRANT FROM OSBI THAT WILL ALLOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PURCHASE A COMPUTER TO CONTINUE OUR ACTIVITIES IN THIS AREA.
IT IS AN EXPENDITURE DRIVEN GRANT, WHICH MEANS THAT WE WILL NEED TO PURCHASE THE ITEMS AND THEN THEY'LL REIMBURSE US FOR THAT.
UH, THUS THE TWO ITEMS, AND I THINK THAT'S EXPLAINED IN THE AGENDA ITEM, UH, I WOULD GLADLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? MR. SEEING NONE? I WOULD TAKE A MOTION ON ITEM C 10.

SO THE SALES TAX PASSING IS ONE AND WE PUT OUT A PUBLIC THING ON THAT, BUT FOR ANYBODY WATCHING, THANK YOU FOR, FOR VOTING ON THAT IF YOU DID.
AND THEN THE LUMINANCE KICKOFF THE OTHER NIGHT WAS REALLY FUN AND, UM, PROUD THAT OUR CITY DOES THAT.
AND UM, THAT'S A REALLY NEAT THING FOR OUR TOWN.
AND THEN, UM, JUST WANTED TO PUBLICLY GIVE SOME KUDOS TO CHRISTY BATTERSON AND TO OUR TEAM WHO ARE WORKED HARD TO KIND OF COORDINATE THINGS ACROSS THE CITY.
UM, AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS SHUT DOWN AND TO WORK WITH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT NONPROFITS TO KEEP OUR CITIZENS AFLOAT, WHO NEEDED IT DURING THAT TIME.
I TOURED PROJECT 66 THIS MORNING AND, UM, TALKED TO THEIR DIRECTOR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT ALL THEY DO AND HOW THEY SERVE OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH IS REALLY NEAT.
BUT IT'S REALLY A CONGLOMERATION OF NONPROFITS IN OUR CITY THAT PROVIDE RESOURCES TO ALL THESE PEOPLE.
AND IT MAKES ME PROUD OF OUR TOWN.
