F
G
K
M
I'm
preston
fridley
at
5004
oak
alley.
I
just
like
a
lot
of
citizens
would
like
to
see
more
inclusion,
transparency.
You
come
to
the
council
meetings
here
in
the
middle
of
the
day,
I'm
very
blessed
to
have
been
retired,
so
I
can
come
at
three
o'clock
in
the
afternoon,
but
a
lot
of
citizens
in
our
community.
I
think
you're
aware,
may
not
have
the
flexibility
that
financial
advisors
do
or
insurance
agents
do
who
own
their
own
business.
M
I'd
like
to
see
more
citizen
participation
in
this
council,
and
I
think
it's
very
important
if
you
can't
change
all
your
meetings,
that
several
of
your
meetings
should
be
held
at
six
o'clock
in
the
afternoon,
allowing
more
citizens
to
come
forward
and
participate
in
our
local
city
government.
So
I
rise
in
support
of
this
motion.
Thank
you.
B
M
You
just
reinforced
it,
so
I
appreciate
it.
Mr
williams,
that's
the
problem,
cities,
citizens,
don't
know
what's
going
on
and
they
aren't
aware
to
participate
and
if
you
hold
it
at
three
o'clock
in
the
afternoon,
you're
lucky.
If
you
get
one
citizen,
that's
watching
youtube
or
one
citizen
that
sees
what's
going
on
and
I
would
assume
you
as
city
councilmen
would
like
to
see
more
citizens
involved.
M
And
so
I
think,
if
you
were
to
consider
this,
I
think
it's
something
that
would
be
very
important
so
that
your
citizens
from
each
of
your
individual
districts
could
come
forward
and
talk
to
you
and
express
to
you
after
business
hours
at
five
o'clock.
So
I
just
think
it's
a
very
positive
thing.
The
fact
that
you
got
only
one
comment
tells
me:
you
know
what
citizens
don't
know,
what
you're
doing.
J
J
It
was
open
to
the
public,
it
started
at
6,
00
pm
and
pretty
much
12
people
would
show
up
that
were
were
residents,
90
percent
were
over
60
65
years
old,
they
could
attend
these
meetings
and
and
they
attended
the
southwestern
citizens
assembly
meetings.
Now
when
there
was
a
big
issue,
we
would
have
a
big
turnout
when
we
have
a
big
issue.
J
K
Mr
president,
I'd
like
to
say
something,
so
this
does
more
than
just
open
it
up
for
more
people
to
show
up
to
the
meeting.
Obviously
that
was
the
the
the
driver
behind.
It
is
to
get
more
citizens
involved,
and
I
think
that
the
average
citizen
it's
easier
to
attend
a
six
o'clock
meeting.
The
other
thing
it
does
is.
It
also
opens
the
door
for
if
there's
anyone
in
the
community
who
chooses
to
one
day
sit
in
one
of
these
seats
that
we're
sitting
in.
K
You
could
be
the
brightest
most
knowledgeable,
most
qualified
person
to
ever
want
to
run
for
the
council,
but
if
you
can't
even
make
the
basic
requirement
of
showing
up
at
six
at
three
o'clock
in
the
afternoon,
then
you're
not
even
going
to
attempt
it
so
so
this
this
does
more
than
just
open
it
up
to
hopefully
have
more
participation,
and
I
would
like
to
say
on
the
point
of
you
only
getting
one
email.
There
was
a
petition
that
was
started
by
a
resident
in
district
two.
K
It
has
signatures
from
all
five
districts,
close
to
close
to
200
signatures
of
people,
saying
that
this
is
a
change
that
they
want.
So
this
isn't
a
chris
smith
thing.
This
isn't
a
you
know,
one
particular
district.
That's
that's
driving
this!
I
I
in
my
heart
believe
all
five
districts
would
like
to
see
this
and
you
know
we
meet
probably
on
average
35
to
40
hours
a
year.
I
don't
think
that
the
added
cost
is
going
to
bossier
city
financially.
K
I
think
that
is
an
investment
into
our
community
to
let
them
be
involved.
You
know
we
spend
money
on
a
lot
of
things:
2
million
sidewalks,
30
million
dollar
gym
centers.
I
think
the
the
small
cost
that
this
will
put
is
well
spent
to
at
least
encourage
the
participation
of
the
citizens
of
bossier
city.
A
A
Okay,
so
just
for
the
record,
I've
I've
been
in
district
2
for
a
long
time,
and
this
resolution
before
city
council
is
not
new.
We
we've
had
actual.
I
sponsor
a
resolution
in
the
past
to
change
the
time
of
our
meetings
and
they
were
held
at
various
times
by
this
council
for
for
a
long
time
and
I've
had
citizen
district
meetings,
many
many
meetings
and
we
had
department
heads
present
and
most
of
the
time
I
would
say
all
the
time
we
had
more
department
staff
than
any
citizen
matter,
not
the
issue.
A
People
are
interested
in
what
they're
interested
in
there's.
There's
nothing
about
city
government
that
if
a
person
want
to
make
the
sacrifice
to
serve,
they
won't
find
a
way
to
serve.
I
I
was
not
self-employed.
When
I
started
on
the
council,
I
had
a
full-time
job,
a
full-time
family
of
full-time
church
activities.
A
I
made
to
sacrifice
to
serve
the
citizen
of
district
2
because
that's
something
I
chose
to
do
and
therefore
I
would
encourage
anybody
who
wanted
to
sacrifice
their
time
their
life,
their
family
life,
their
quality
time
to
serve.
They
will
do
that.
They
will
make
that
effort.
I
don't
have
an
issue
having
more
citizen
participation.
A
I
just
know
based
on
experience.
There
is
a
lack
of
participation
at
any
given
time,
whether
it's
at
six
a.m
in
the
morning
or
six
o'clock
p.m.
In
the
evening
time,
people
are
not
as
interested
as
you
would
hope
they
would
be
in
city
government,
and
I
don't
know
why,
but
I
just
know
that
is
the
reality
that
we
live
in.
K
And
I
mean
and
I'd
like
to
add,
I
do
know
that
they
were
held
in
the
evenings
at
one
point
in
time
and
there's
a
reason
why
we
moved
them
back
to
three.
I
think
that
times
have
possibly
changed
and
in
my
heart
I
do
feel
that
we
have
more
people
wanting
to
be
involved.
I
would
be
all
four
if
we
pass
this
today
and
there
is
no,
there
is
no.
There
is
no
change.
K
I
would
be
open
to
to
talking
about
reversing
it,
but
I
think
that
just
to
say,
we've
tried
it
at
one
point
in
time
and
it
didn't
work.
You
know
who
who
knows
what
we
can't
obviously
speak
for
for
the
people
out
there,
so
I
think
we
ought
to
at
least
give
them
the
opportunity,
but
that's
just
my
opinion.
That's
why
I
put
this
up
and
I
hope
to
have
support,
but
thank
you.
Chris.
G
G
G
I
I
K
At
this
time
I
don't
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
if
four
o'clock
does
anything
if,
if
you,
if
you're
a
employer,
if
you
an
employee
and
your
employer,
doesn't
let
you
off
to
do
to
attend
a
council
meeting.
You
know
we'll
we'll
be
stuck
with
the
same.
I
I'd
be
open
to
a
compromise
of
say,
5
or
5
30,
but
at
this
time
I
think
six
is
what
we
should
vote
on.

N
Afternoon,
cancel
you
have
before
you,
the
financials
for
the
month
ended
july,
31st
2021..
The
first
page
is
the
revenue
report.
The
city
is
currently
running
120
to
budget
gaming.
Revenue
drops
slightly
during
july,
but
is
still
doing
well.
Sales
tax
is
also
doing
well
up
7.6
compared
to
july
2020..
N
The
month
to
month
between
years,
is
becoming
more
comparable
due
to
the
effects
of
covid
beginning
to
level
out
around
this
time
prior
year.
Page
two
is
the
expense
report.
The
city
is
currently
running
six
percent
under
budget.
The
alternative
fuel
stations
are
notably
over
budget,
but
the
revenue
is
as
well
at
136.
N
N
J
J
N
B
B
L
One
of
the
carriageway
still
here
spoke
with
a
contractor
last
week.
The
final
items
for
delivery
should
be
here,
hopefully
by
the
end
of
next
week.
They
set
about
two
weeks
out
for
installation
and
we'll
be
able
to
wrap
this
project
up
swan
lake
road.
We
got
some
final
striking
that's
been
done.
I
think
we
got
some
final
striping
on
at
the
monaco
lot
intersection
at
swan
lake,
but
we
other
than
that
we've
done
a
punch
list
and
final
walk
through
and
the
project
is
substantially
complete
coleman
street.
L
This
is
a
dotd
control
project,
especially
tracco's
under
construction.
They've
now
shifted
to
the
other
two
intersections
on
the
project
and
they
are
around
65
working
days
left
in
their
contract,
not
just
not
calendar
days,
but
that
is
working
days
and
dotd
feels
very
comfortable
that
they're
going
to
be
completed
in
that
time
frame.
L
Highway
71
streetscape
phase,
one
got
a
nice
updated
picture
here
and
they're
at
80
percent
complete
74
time
elapsed.
This
was,
as
of
I
believe,
the
end
of
june.
We
have
not
gotten
updated
payout
for
july.
I
believe
they
are
nearing
completion,
getting
towards
doing
a
final
walk
through
and
looking
for
any
deficiencies
prior
to
the
city.
Accepting
it.
J
J
J
E
L
L
Thank
you,
okay
tinsley.
We
are
at
80
complete
with
94
of
the
time
elapsed
that
is
as
of
light.
At
the
end
of
last
month.
They
are
trying
to
wrap
up
as
quickly
as
possible.
That
is
the
new
facility.
You
can
barely
see
up
there
in
the
top
left
corner.
They've
got
turf
on
the
new
fields,
got
a
lot
of
the
retaining
walls.
They're
pouring
a
lot
of
concrete
about
100
cubic
yards
every
four
days
and
they're
trying
to
move
quickly
and
get
that
completed
east
bank
fire
station.
L
This
is
just
now
getting
off
the
ground.
We've
only
had
one
pay
app
come
through
and
that's
basically
just
getting
stored
materials
and
getting
that
project
off
the
ground
and
so
we're
just
in
the
early
stages
of
that
construction,
cliff
and
almond
park.
Restrooms
we're
sitting
about
37
percent,
complete
and
50
time
elapsed.
You
can
see
some
of
the
cmu
block
coming
up.
They
should
be
making
a
lot
of
progress
now
that
they're
out
of
the
ground
and
they'll
start
putting
finishing
touches
on
that
citywide
street
improvements.
L
This
is
one
of
the
sidewalks
as
part
of
this
project.
I
believe
that's
in,
I
believe
that
10
green
acres
and
we're
tearing
up
the
world
so
I'm
trying
to
make
as
much
progress
as
we
can,
the
sidewalks
they
are
doing.
Green
acres
should
be
moving
back
to
south
bossier
and
hitting
some
additional
items
down
there.
We
also
have
construction
going
on
on
mayfair
court
north
park
and
I
believe
the
noise
circle
as
well
and
michael
street
as
well,
and
so
once
those
are
completed,
we'll
be
moving
to
the
next
sections.
L
I've
got
private
development
going
on.
I
believe
top
left
is
tiburon
unit
number
15.
they're
getting
ready
to
start
cutting
in
the
street.
I
believe
water
and
sewer
have
already
been
installed
and
we'll
be
blowing
and
going
on
that
project
out
to
the
bid
or
in
the
design.
We've
got
phase
two
of
highway
71
lighting,
we're
waiting
on
final
plans
from
it,
and
we
should
be
able
to
be
able
to
go
out
for
bid
for
that
south
fozure
capital
improvements
that
is
currently
being
advertised.
