Good

Regular

This

H
B
Very
good
next
in
our
agenda
is
item
number
15
and
we'll
start
with
someone's
making
a
brief
presentation.
I
believe
all
right.
I
Mayor
this
is
the
budget
item
I
believe
yeah,
not
not
the
emsd.
Oh.
B
A
K
Mayor
council,
it's
privilege
to
be
before
you
this
evening
to
talk
about
the
tentative
adoption
of
the
budget
for
fiscal
year
2324
and
our
24
to
2033
Capital
Improvement
program.
K
Tonight
we
have
some
good
information
to
share
with
you
and
with
the
residents
of
Chandler
about
our
budget.
First
off
I'd
like
to
start
out
by
talking
about
the
statutory
budget
process
that
we
go
through.
So
we
have
very
specific
requirements
under
Arizona,
revised
statutes
that
allow
us
to
go
to
process
or
go
through
our
budget
process.
Excuse
me:
we
adopt
a
tentative
budget
that
sets
forth
the
different
amounts
that
will
be
required
to
meet
our
needs
from
a
public
expense
for
the
fiscal
year.
We
enter
that
into
the
minutes.
K
We
prepare
our
forms
that
are
required
by
the
auditor
General's
Office
of
the
State
of
Arizona,
and
then
we
publish
all
our
of
our
information
on
the
website
for
public
review
and
then
once
tentative
adoption
happens.
The
budget
cannot
increase
from
that
point
on.
So
once
if
the
tenant
of
a
budget
is
approved
tonight,
it
won't
be
changed
before
until
the
adopted
budget
between
that
time
period,
it
won't
change,
it
can
go
down,
but
it
cannot
increase
after
tentative
adoption.
K
So
to
talk
about
the
proposed
budget
this
year,
as
in
all
years,
we
have
a
theme
surrounding
our
budget,
and
our
theme
this
year
is
innovation
at
work
and
I
wanted
to
share
just
a
little
bit
about
how
we
came
up
with
that
theme.
Actually
it
was
kind
of
a
you
know.
It
kind
of
came
to
me
one
day.
I
was
at
Tumbleweed
Rec,
Center
and
I
saw
somebody
doing
something
that
was
completely
Innovative,
at
least
in
my
mind,
and
so
from
that
experience.
K
Innovation
at
work
happened
and
what
I
saw
was
someone
on
the
treadmill
and
I've
been
on
treadmill
a
lot
and
he
was
using
the
Pringles
holder
for
a
water
bottle
and
I
thought
that
is
innovation
right.
There
I
never
thought
of
that
before
Pringles
holder.
So
our
total
budget
this
year,
though,
for
our
Innovation
at
work,
is
1.6
billion
dollars,
1.66
billion
dollars,
Amanda.
L
K
Innovation,
our
general
fund
total,
is
about
610
million
dollars
for
this
fiscal
year
coming
fiscal
year
overall
about
a
22
and
a
half
percent
increase,
800
million
dollar
increase
in
operating
about
a
5.9
percent
increase
and
then
856
million
dollar
increase
in
capital,
which
is
the
vast
majority
of
the
increase
to
the
budget,
43.4
percent.
K
Some
things
to
note
about
the
budget.
It
does
adhere
to
financial
policies.
Those
policies
are
set
by
mayor
and
Council,
and
they
allow
us
to
make
sure
we're
structurally
balanced.
They
allow
us
to
maintain
AAA
Bond
ratings.
Those
financial
policies
give
us
guidance
and
direction
to
make
sure
that
the
fiscal
stability
of
the
city
of
Chandler
is
maintained.
K
K
K
K
Some
of
that
will
be
carried
forward
in
the
new
year,
as
well
as
an
additional
30.5
million
for
new
infrastructure
projects
in
the
new
year.
From
a
Grant's
perspective,
it
includes
about
20
million
in
arpa.
Funds
in
the
2324
budget
is
carry
forward
as
those
dollars
continue
to
be
spent
on
programs
and
services
and
a
continued
focus
on
grant
opportunities
and
having
shovel
ready
projects
that
may
qualify
for
additional
grants
as
they
come
available
during
the
next
fiscal
year.
K
Now
one
thing,
that's
driving
potential
debt
or
potential
increases
down
in
future
years
is
an
increase
in
what
we're
paying
off.
From
a
debt
perspective,
we
have
additional
one-time
payment
of
73
million
dollars
to
pay
off,
essentially
our
Public
Safety
pension
obligation
that
unfunded
liability-
that's
been
on
many
councils
Minds
for
many
years,
and
the
City
of
Chandler
has
done
an
excellent
job
in
planning
to
be
able
to
make
a,
hopefully
one-time
final
payment
on
that
unfunded
liability
portion.
K
On
this
slide,
we
can
see
the
total
annual
proposed
budget
from
where
the
money
comes
from,
as
well
as
where
the
money
goes.
As
you
can
see
from
where
the
money
comes
from.
We
have
a
variety
of
Revenue
sources
here
at
the
city
of
Chandler,
primarily
this
fiscal
year
or
coming
fiscal
year
fund
balance
will
be
a
major
source
of
Revenue.
So
we
have
additional
fund
balance
that
we'll
be
tapping
into
not
only
for
those
carry
forward
projects
from
the
capital
side,
but
for
other
projects
moving
forward
in
the
capital
plan.
K
We
have
local
taxes.
We
have
grant
funding
this
year,
we'll
be
issuing
bonds,
so
209
million
dollars
of
that
is
anticipated
Bond
sales.
We
do
an
evaluation
closer
to
when
we
actually
sell
the
bonds
to
ensure
that
what
the
total
dollar
value
is
that
we
need
for
that
sale.
So
it
may
come
in
less
during
the
fiscal
year,
but
that's
the
anticipated
Bond
sale.
K
We
also
have
utility
charges
for
our
Enterprise
funds.
We
have
other
charges
for
services,
fees
and
services.
We
have
state
shared
revenues,
property
tax
and
system
development
fees
on
the
where
the
money
goes
portion
of
the
slide.
It
shows
the
breakout
between
operating
in
capital
and
some
other
reserves
and
contingencies
and
Debt
Service
that
we
have
within
the
city
as
you'll
notice.
K
Department
operating
is
the
largest
portion
of
that
when
you
break
it
out
individually,
but
if
you
were
add
together,
the
carry
forward
for
major
Capital
as
well
as
the
new
major
capital
capital
is
driving.
The
majority
of
the
budget
over
half
of
the
budget
is
capital
related,
whether
it
be
carry
forward
from
the
current
year,
projects
that
haven't
finished
or
new
projects
in
the
next
fiscal
year.
K
From
some
operating
budget
highlights
this
year,
the
city
has
reduced
the
property
tax
rate
for
the
eighth
consecutive
year
through
direction
for
mayor
and
Council.
We
also
have
no
change
to
the
transaction
privilege
tax
rates,
which
is
good
news
for
our
residents.
We
do
anticipate
some
water,
Wastewater
and
solid
waste
rate,
changes
to
continue
to
move
towards
cost
of
service
recommendations
and
ensure
those
Enterprise
funds
are
fully
funding
themselves.
K
It
does
plan
towards
that
debt
reduction
that
we've
talked
about
recently
here,
the
73
million
dollars
in
one-time
funding
to
essentially
pay
that
off
and
that's
a
significant
payment.
The
last
two
years
we've
been
able
to
make
these
substantial
payments
to
virtually
eliminate
that
debt,
and
then
we
also
continue
to
maintain
strong
reserves,
including
a
15
general
fund,
contingency
reserve
and
a
20
million
dollar
budget
stabilization
Reserve,
which
allows
us
to
maintain
a
a
strong
Financial
Focus
going
into
the
future.
K
When
we
talk
about
the
cost
associated
with
the
services
res
channel,
the
residents
receive,
we
do
look
at
a
comparison
in
the
City
of
Tempe
provides
each
year
we'll
get
an
updated
cost
comparison
in
probably
August
of
this
year,
and
this
is
based
on
last
year's
estimate,
but
it
really
shows
kind
of
the
total
cost.
A
household
in
the
city
of
Chandler
can
expect
to
pay
for
government
services,
water,
Wastewater,
Solid,
Waste
property
taxes
and
the
sales
tax
that
help
fund
General
operations
of
the
city.
K
As
you
see,
the
city
of
Chandler
is
one
of
the
is
the
lowest
cost
for
each
home
household
in
in
the
State.
For
all
the
Valley
Cities
anyway,
at
1754,
is
our
average
anticipated
cost
on
an
annual
basis
for
a
household
in
the
city
of
Chandler
Yeah.
B
Question
on
that
so
just
wanted
to.
You
said
something:
I
just
want
to
make
kind
of
highlight,
so
you
said
this
is
going
to
be
updated
in
August,
so
these
are
the
current
of
other
cities,
but
this
is
our
real
numbers
and
the
other
cities
will
only
increase
at
that
point.
Correct.
B
So
our
numbers
will
really
be
starkly
even
lower
than
the
others.
When
this
is
said
and
done,
maybe.
B
K
Yeah
mayor,
that's
exactly
right
through
years
of
planning
from
councils
before
including
this,
this
Council
great
Department
directors
guiding
through
that
process
to
ensure
that
our
infrastructure
is
maintained
that
we
don't
have.
You
know
large
facilities
needed
all
of
a
sudden
from
the
budget
staff,
making
sure
that
our
rates
are
ratcheted
up
slowly
and
surely
to
ensure
fund
balance
is
there
to
pay
for
all
the
projects
and
upcoming
infrastructure
needs
all
of
those
things
play
into
allowing
that
rate
to
remain
so
low.
Thank.
B
K
K
That
update
does
reflect
inflationary
pressures.
We've
mentioned
that
already
once
how
inflation
has
impacted.
Speaking
from
a
capital
perspective,
inflation
has
really
hit
hard
anything
with
steel,
concrete
asphalt
and
labor,
and
when
you
put
those
four
ingredients
together,
you
get
a
capital
plan,
so
just
about
every
Capital
program
that
we
we
do
has
those
main
inflated
articles
in
it.
So
we
have
had
to
reflect
those
inflationary
pressures
on
our
projects.
K
We
do
have
an
increased
Focus
or
continue
to
focus
on
that
aging
infrastructure.
As
we've
mentioned,
additional
analysis
has
gone
in
this
year
to
ensure
that
aging
infrastructure
has
been
taken,
care
of
or
planned
out
for
the
next
10
years
and
there's
still
more
work
to
do,
but
for
the
most
part,
The
City
Is,
On
Target,
to
make
sure
that
we're
ensuring
quality
infrastructure
for
residents
now
and
into
the
future.
K
And
then,
additionally,
we
have
those
projects
that
are
supporting
our
Intel
expansion,
the
partners
with
Intel
Bond
authorization.
Longevity
has
been
shortened,
though,
by
inflation,
so
we
recently
went
out
to
the
voters
for
authorization
need
and
with
some
of
those
projects
coming
in
higher
due
to
inflation,
we
anticipated
about
seven
years
of
authorization
before
we
needed
to
go
back
out
to
voters
and
that
has
been
reduced
down
to
about
five
years
so
and
then,
depending
on
how
Bond
rates
come
in
how
if
things
costs
are
able
to
come
down
that
may
shift
out.
B
K
Yeah,
that's
an
excellent
point
mayor,
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
for
that
partnership,
Intel
and
as
well
as
a
tax
rebate
for
infrastructure
through
the
State
of
Arizona,
is
what's
paying
for
that,
although
we
do
provide
the
in
the
in
investment
in
that
infrastructure
projects,
so
we
have
to
have
the
authorization
to
spend
it.
It
is
reimbursed
back
to
the
city
from
those
two
Partnerships
with
the
state,
as
well
as
with
Intel.
Thank.
K
So
for
the
proposed
budget
only
adopts
or
authorizes
spending
for
the
first
year
of
the
capital
plan
years
two
through
ten,
are
then
adjusted
every
year
and
only
the
new
year
is
what's
appropriated.
So
this
talks
about
just
the
appropriation
for
the
new
fiscal
year
and
a
total
of
856.5
million
dollars
of
appropriation
for
Capital
needs
of
that
we
have
a
small
reserve,
four
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
then
between
Capital
Carry
forward,
almost
500
million
dollars
and
new
funding
360
million
dollars.
K
So
this
is
the
first
year
since
I've
been
with
the
city
that
we've
had
Capital
Carry
forward
exceeding
our
new
funding
for
Capital
programs.
A
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
long
lead
items
the
delays
in
the
supply
chain,
as
well
as
just
finding
labor
to
go
in
and
get
the
work
done.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
these
projects
that
are
a
little
slower
on
the
uptake.
If
you
will
to
get
to
completion.
K
That
brings
us
to
kind
of
our
final
slide
here.
Key
budget
dates.
So
tonight
we
are
talking
about
the
tentative
budget.
Adoption
and
CIP
on
June
15th.
Is
that
public
hearing
for
not
only
the
budget
but
also
the
tax
levy
and
then
we'll
have
a
special
meeting
to
adopt
the
final
budget
and
then
on
June
29th
will
be
the
adoption
of
the
final
tax
levy
for
property
tax
purposes.
K
So
for
your
consideration
tonight,
resolution
5694
approves
the
tentative
budget
again
once
that
is
approved,
the
budget
cannot
increase.
It
can
only
decrease
from
this
point
forward
and
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
there
is
additional
information
on
our
website.
Chandleraz.Gov
forward,
slash
budget
where
you
can
get
the
entire
budget
proposed
budget,
as
well
as
the
entire
CIP
proposed
CIP
documents
and
a
lot
of
other
information.
K
B
You
just
related
to
the
budget
and
transportation.
I
did
have
a
question
for
city
manager,
so
in
this
budget
there's
there
is
no
money
that
is
I
know.
We've
got
the
bike
project,
that
is,
that
is
not
going
to
be
reducing
Lanes,
it's
going
to
be
putting
bike
Lanes
on
the
side,
but
there
is
we've
got
a
number
of
folks
here
that
are
quite
interested
in
transportation.
I
Yeah
Mr
Mayor
members
of
council.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
First,
let
me
be
clear:
there's
nothing
in
the
budget
before
you
tonight
that
includes
any
sort
of
removal
of
lanes
for
many
roads
or
what's
been
termed
a
road
diet.
None
of
the
projects
in
your
budget
reflect
that,
in
fact,
quite
the
opposite.
You
have
quite
a
bit
of
arterial
road
construction
that
is
still
going
on
throughout
Southeast
Chandler,
particularly
where
you're
actually
adding
Lanes.
I
In
fact,
I
think
you
have
some
other
speakers
tonight
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
adding
Lanes
on
Ocotillo
roads,
so
actually
there's
there's
nothing.
That
would
reflect
any
sort
of
road
diet
in
the
budget.
Same
goes
for
brt
bus,
Rapid
Transit.
There
are
no
projects
in
your
in
your
10-year
Capital
plan
that
reflect
a
project
of
that
nature.
I
think
where
that
notion
comes
from.
I
There
is
a
regional
transportation
plan
that
mag
has
put
together
where
one
of
the
recommendations
could
be
for
a
bus,
rapid
transit
system,
but
that
would
not
be
able
to
be
funded
or
even
discussed
until
2045,
so
22
years
from
now
would
be
the
soonest.
You
could
even
really
talk
about
that
and
again
that's
not
something
that
you're
locked
into
there's
no
requirement
that
the
city
adopt
that
recommendation.
There
are
other
Alternatives,
the
city
could
consider,
and
certainly
a
lot
can
change
between
now
and
2045
when
it
comes
to
Transportation.
B
It's
similar
to,
in
a
light
rail
we
had
conversations,
and
we
did
studies
that
looked
at
bringing
Light,
Rail
and
and
members.
Some
members
on
this
Council
are
at
least
two
of
us
and
as
well
as
previous
members,
decided
that
that
was
not
a
plan
that
we
wanted
to
pursue
and
any
future
things
related
to
that
would
alter
the
roads
or
or
specifically
dedicate
something
that
would
be.
I
Mr
Mayor
members
of
council,
just
as
it
took
many
public
hearings
and
tons
of
public
input
to
even
get
to
where
they
are
now.
There
would
be
a
bunch
more
of
that
between
now
and
2045,
so
you're
a
long
way
and
a
lot
of
public
conversations
and
additional
study
and
research
before
you
would
ever
get
to
that
point.
Okay,.
F
Thank
you.
This
is
the
10
of
a
tentative
adoption,
so
I'm.
B
F
Hold
my
comments
about
the
final
adoption.
I've
got
a
little
bit
more
research
I
want
to
do
with
with
Josh,
but
we
will
have
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
talk
about
this
budget.
A
little
bit
more
in
our
in
our
final
adoption
meeting
versus
tonight
is
that
is
that
a
safe
to
say,
mayor.
B
Seeing
no
questions,
let
me
bring
up
our
our
one
speaker.
Thank
you,
man,
Janet
Eckerman.
If
you
please
come
forward
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record,
you
have
up
to
three
minutes.
The
light
will
be
green
when
it
turns
yellow.
If
you
please
wrap
up
and
when
it's
read,
then
your
time
is
over
state.
Your
name
and
address
for
the
record,
though
man.
E
Hello,
thank
you
mayor
and
city
council
for
this
opportunity.
My
name
is
Janet
Ackerman.
My
address
is
you
want
the
full
address
or
sure
6320
North,
16th,
Street,
Phoenix,
Arizona,
85016
Phoenix.
E
Here
today,
just
to
give
you
the
perspective
that
I
have
as
someone
who
uses
the
the
Light
Rail
and
uses
you
know,
public
transportation,
I
used
to
use
it
for
daily
commuting
to
work
and
riding
the
bus
and
I'm
really
I'm
opposed
to
these.
E
E
I
I
think
it's
the
the
big
issue
that
I
have
with
with
light
rail
in
the
bus
in
Arizona
in
Phoenix,
is
that
just
the
summer
heat
I
was
sitting
at
a
bus.
Stop
waiting
like
at
six
o'clock
at
night
to
take
the
bus
home.
E
It
was
115
degrees
outside
I
had
to
call
an
ambulance
to
go
to
the
emergency
room,
because
I
was
suffering
with
heat
exhaustion.
That's
not
the
only
time
that
I've
been
taking
public
transit
in
the
summer.
So
it's
just
the
idea
that
we
are
going
to
convert
from
our
air-conditioned
cars
to
public
transit
during
the
summer
months.
Is
you
know
whether
it's
the
bus,
the
or
light
rail
or
you
know
whatever?
We?
E
It's
the
time
that
you're
spending
Outdoors
waiting
for
that
Transportation
that
creates
a
health
problem
for
people
and
I,
was
reading
on
the
brt
plan
site
and
they
were
saying
that.
Well,
it's
going
to
be
faster
because
they'll
make
fewer
stops,
but
the
problem
with
fewer
stops
is
that
means
you
have
to
walk
further
to
your
destination.
E
So
it's
basically
going
to
cut
off
all
business
and
in
in
those
areas
between
the
stops,
people
just
aren't
going
to
come.
E
J
B
All
right
that
was
the
only
card
related
to
I
guess
the
transportation,
which
is
part
of
our
budget
council
at
this
point
motion,
would
be
an
order.
Our
conversation,
yes,
sir
mayor.
J
I
move
city
council
pass
and
adopt
resolution
number
5694,
adopting
the
FY
2023
24
10
of
the
budget
and
the
2024
to
dash.
F
A
B
M
Thank
you
thank
you,
I'm,
so
excited
to
be
here
mayor
and
get
this
started.
Okay,
mayor
council
tonight,
I'm
here
to
present
the
fiscal
year,
23
24
enhanced,
Municipal
Services
District
annual
assessment.
The
emsd
was
created
in
2005
and
is
now
in
its
18th
year
and
covers
61.4
Acres.
An
enhanced
Municipal
Services
district
is
formed
to
provide
city
services
up
and
Beyond
typical
city
services.
Such
Services
include
safety,
beautification
marketing
and
promotion
and
professional
management
and
communication.
N
Kim
thanks
Mr
mayor
council
members
for
the
time
tonight
quickly.
My
name
is
Rebecca
Hill
and
I.
Am
the
new
executive
director
for
the
dccp
I
would
just
like
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
talk
about
our
mission,
our
board
of
directors
and
then
a
brief
overview
of
our
services.
As
Kim
mentioned,
our
mission
statement
is
the
downtown
Chandler
Community
Partnership
is
a
501c6,
not-for-profit
corporation,
whose
mission
is
to
mobilize
leadership
and
resources
to
advance
the
development
of
downtown
Chandler
as
a
regional
destination
for
shopping,
dining
living
culture
and
the
Arts.
N
The
dccp
services
includes
management
to
provide
board
meetings,
stakeholder
meetings,
strategic
plans,
sustainability
budgets
and
building
Partnerships
events
are
one
of
the
more
visual
services
that
we
provide,
including
the
farmers
market
and
with
an
intentional
Focus.
Over
the
last
six
months,
the
Farmers
Market
has
grown
in
vendors
and
in
attendance.
N
Other
events
include
the
wedding
walk
which
highlighted
San,
Marcos,
Hilton,
Soho,
63,
Chandler
pops
and
various
restaurants.
That
may
be
a
good
fit
for
rehearsal,
dinners
and
brunch.
The
next
morning,
continuing
on
small
business
Saturday,
various
Pub
crawls
and
creating
great
Partnerships
allows
us
to
host
Fine
Arts
and
Wine
Festival
Beer
Bourbon
and
Barbecue
Oktoberfest,
all
with
the
great
Partners
from
San,
Tan
and
pedal
house
breweries.
N
Another
important
pillar
of
our
service
is
our
marketing
of
downtown.
We
have
more
than
33
000
followers
on
our
social
media
combined
pages,
and
we
have
several
thousands
who
subscribe
to
our
monthly
newsletter
and
we
create
various
campaigns
throughout
the
year
to
include
Channel
your
chill,
which
will
be
released
here
in
the
next
week
or
so,
which
includes
a
dive-in
movie
for
families,
stay
and
play
campaigns
to
attract
the
Leisure,
traveler
and
locals.
N
In
addition,
we
help
all
the
business
Market
their
specials
services
and
events,
but
we're
more
than
just
putting
the
word
out
on
the
street
about
what's
happening
in
downtown
Chandler,
we're
committed
to
the
experience
and
welcoming
of
visitors
placemaking
such
as
planting
flowers,
placing
the
American
flags
holiday
lights
and
displays
rooftop
lighting
and
overall
and
inviting
downtown
one
of
the
most
important
and
noticeable
Services
we
provide
is
the
clean
team.
The
purpose
of
the
clean
team
is
to
ensure
litter
and
garbage
is
picked
up.
N
Graffiti
is
removed
and
or
reported
promptly
emptying
trash
cans,
removing
stickers
and
random
Flyers
that
end
up
on
poles
in
the
downtown,
as
well
as
emptying
trash
cans
and
wiping
down
the
surfaces
such
as
the
park
benches,
and
this
person
serves
as
a
downtown
Ambassador
again
all
services.
Over
and
above
what
the
city
is
already
committed
to
doing.
We
look
forward
to
continuing
to
provide
these
services
and
so
much
more.
We
invite
you
to
attend
our
upcoming
annual
meeting
on
June
8th
for
more
information.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Back
to
Kim,
mayor.
J
I
just
want
to
compliment
you
on
your
approach.
You
got
a
hold
of
the
council
members,
City
staff
stakeholders,
and
you
really
did
a
due
diligence
on
where
we're
at
what
the
Baseline
is
and
where
we
need
to
go
so
I
certainly
appreciate
that,
and
also,
as
you
know,
taking
your
input.
Obviously
we
talked
about
arts
and
we
talked
about
the
trees.
Replanting,
some
of
the
other
stuff
and
you'll
see
some
of
that
in
our
budget.
To
help
supplement
some
of
those
activities.
J
As
you
know,
art
has
is
a
big
attraction
and
as
we
expand
in
that
area,
we've
given
Kim
some
more
additional
dollars
to
work
with
us
to
get
some
more
of
those
art
walks
that
drive
people
down
here
and
conjuncts.
What
our
tourism
dollars.
Would
you
give
them
something
to
do
at
our
downtown?
So
I
certainly
appreciate
your
approach
and
the
optimism
and
positive
that
you
brought
to
this
organization.
N
Thank
you
very
much.
Vice
mayor
Orlando
I
really
appreciate
the
feedback
and
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
individual
council
members
and
also
Mr
Mayor
and
staff
for
providing
that
insight
and
that
feedback,
and
you
know
trying
to
put
some
of
those
missing
pieces
together
and
so
I
appreciate
the
feedback,
and
we
really
appreciate
the
support
and
the
hopeful
dollars
that
will
be
coming
soon.
Thank
you
so
much
any
other
questions
for
me.
F
F
It's
a
destination
place
for
people
to
come,
so
we
can
get
tax
dollars
from
Gilbert
and
Tempe
for
no
I'm
just
kidding,
but
people
are
coming
to
our
downtown
and
it's
because
of
what's
being
done
at
dccp,
and
what
the
people
on
that
board
are
doing
to
drive
events
and
things
like
that,
so
it's
a
real
fun
place
and
it's
safe
and
it's
vibrant
and
we're
just
grateful
for
what
you're
doing
so.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
continuing
forward.
Thank.
B
O
Just
wanted
to
say:
Rebecca
I
got
a
chance
to
sit
down
with
you
and
I
appreciate
your
professionalism
and
I
and
I
definitely
appreciate
Kim
Moyers
because
she
definitely
knows
downtown.
She
definitely
knows
what
makes
the
city
come
alive
and
I
think
with
the
partnership
that
we
have
with
dccp
being
led
by
you
and
Kim
Moyers.
O
You
guys
are
doing
such
a
great
job,
but
I
will
say
this
I,
don't
know
how
many
times
I
get
compliments
about
our
Downtown
Chandler,
all
the
time
like
people
like
coming
to
downtown
Chandler
and
thank
you
for
making
it
a
clean,
welcoming
warm
safe
place
for
people
to
kind
of
come
live,
hang
out,
and
just
you
know
if
I
can
say
this
word
chill.
N
B
I'd
also
Echo
that
other
in
January
at
our
at
our
International
Film
Festival.
We
had
a
lot
of
folks
coming
in
from
across
the
nation
and
internationally,
and
what
I
heard
again
and
again
is
that
they
felt
safe.
They
felt
that
our
people
were
friendly,
that
our
city
was
clean.
That
really
was
most
of
their
Universe
on
that
trip
was
just
in
her
downtown
and
staying
at
the
Hilton
across
from
City
Hall
and
just
traversing
back
and
forth.
So
that's
the
kind
of
comments
and
Vibe.
B
B
M
It's
okay,
so
just
where
we're
at
now
to
further
expand
on
the
emsd
process,
the
assessment
was
authorized
by
the
property
owners
in
the
district,
with
a
hundred
percent
of
the
assessment
proceeds
being
paid
by
by
the
district.
The
city
council
is
the
governing
body
who
officially
enables
the
district
and
the
district
must
be
renewed
every
year.
The
annual
steps
are
as
follows.
The
step
one
is
to
set
the
rate
by
the
council.
The
rate
has
remained
the
same
since
its
Inception
in
2005..
M
This
year
is
the
first
year
the
dccp
requested
a
five
percent
increase
that
is
allowed
by
the
emsd
bylaws
as
the
law
largest
property
owner
in
the
downtown.
The
dccp
also
requested.
The
council
approve
a
five
percent
increase
to
our
voluntary
contribution,
which
would
increase
that
contribution
from
a
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand,
eight
hundred
and
four
dollars
to
a
hundred
twenty
four
thousand
dollars.
744
124
744
on
March
23rd.
The
council
provided
a
tentative
assessment
approval
on
that.
M
Since
then,
we've
had
a
published
notice
of
hearing,
as
required
by
ARS
for
five
consecutive
days
before
the
hearing,
the
dccp
also
mailed
notices
to
all
property
owners.
In
the
district
of
their
right
to
file
an
objection
and
no
objections
have
been
received
at
this
point-
tonight's,
the
hearing
and
then
finally,
we'll
be
back
on
June
22nd
for
the
possible
approval
of
the
contract,
with
the
dccp
to
administer
the
enhanced
Municipal
Services
district
and
with
that
I'm
finished.
Unless
you
have
any
other
questions,
Council.
J
M
M
Yes,
we
through
the
mayor
vice
mayor.
Yes,
we
did,
for
example,
the
maple
house,
which
will
be
opening
up.
That
was
a
residential
home.
So
as
we
convert
that
into
commercial,
that
will
be
an
additional
assessment.
Any
expansions
that
we
see
would
be
that
assessment
as
well,
but
the
maple
house
is
the
most
is
what
the
ones
that
you
would
know.
B
All
right
is
there
any
discussion
from
the
audience
on
the
emsd
process
or
what
is
before
us,
seeing
none
I'd
like
to
close
our
public
hearing
at
that
point.
Thank
you
all
item.
17
is
a
resolution
approving
the
fiscal
year
related
to
the
enhanced
Municipal
Services
District,
Council
I.
Believe
a
motion
would
be
in
order.
B
J
B
Great,
thank
you
Council
next
on
our
agenda.
Public
agenda
here
is
unscheduled
public
appearances.
We
do
have
a
few
cards
here
to
those
who
desire
to
speak
as
an
unscheduled
item.
We
cannot
engage
you
in
terms
of
the
public
meeting
process,
but
you
you'll
have
your
time
and
I.
Ask
that
you
please
stick
to
that.
I
would
ask
that
you
do
not
repeat
what's
already
been
said,
if
you've
got
something
new
to
bring.
B
Please
share
that
and
if
you're
comment
is
as
simple
as
I
agree
with
them,
that's
just
as
acceptable
or
if
someone
previously
has
said
what
you
desire
to
share.
You
can
also
decline
to
speak
at
that
point.
So
I've
gotten
a
number
of
cards
on
two
separate
issues.
First
up
is
Mr
Clovis
hungate.
P
P
P
P
Until
the
following
issue
was
rectified,
except
for
the
repair
of
our
irrigation
valve
that
blew
up
on
us
by
their
Construction,
there
was
a
temporary
construction
easement
dated
11
9
11
20
the
grants,
a
five
foot
temporary,
strictly
temporary
easement
for
the
construction
phase
of
the
widening
of
Ocotillo
Road.
After
that
construction,
the
tce
is
supposed
to
be
reverted
back
to
our
property
as
our
Southern
ordered
and
property
there
that
borders
on
the
Roosevelt
water
district
easement
as
well.
P
P
It
the
vinyl
fence,
is
already
located
on
the
north
side
of
that
tce.
This
allows
Hayden
construction
access
to
use
that
five
foot
easement.
However,
the
fence
was
not
installed
in
a
straight
line,
set
an
angle.
All
the
way
down,
300
feet
on
our
property.
Doesn't
look
all
that.
Well,
there's
an
inclusion
of
a
block
wall
which
was
part
of
the
purchase
agreement
on
our
southern
south
easement
line.
Mr
Lissette
with
CEI
said
that
the
wall
would
be
on
our
Southern
property
line,
which
is
the
easement
area
there.
P
Mr
Garcia,
with
Chandler
City
Public
Works
in
utilities,
was
there
and
he
agreed
with
that
point
that
Mr
lissett
had
made,
but
the
wall
is
going
to
be
at
an
angle
as
well,
which,
on
that
corner,
which
is
like
I,
said
300
feet.
It's
going
to
be
a
lot
different.
This
has
been
going
on
since
2016..
We've
had
conflict
information
with
several
of
the
land
agencies
with
Chandler
and
the
info
that
they've
been
giving
to
us.
I've
talked
to
the
May,
the
city
manager
already
tonight
and
you'll
be
getting
with
us
gotten
to
the
point.
P
I
B
Q
Perfect,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Janet
ho
and
I
live
at
21632
South
140th
Street
in
Chandler
Arizona.
Talking
to
you
specifically
on
an
addition
to
what
Clovis
was
talking
about.
That
is
the
Ocotillo
widening
project.
We
live
off
140th
Street
between
Lindsay
and
Gilbert.
That
is
the
only
entrance
to
that
entire
neighborhood.
We
do
not
have
a
back
area
because
that
easement
was
closed
by
the
Roosevelt
District
back
in
1999,
so
we
have
not
had
another
entrance
out
to
that
property.
Q
The
agreement
was
made
when
the
widening
would
happen
that
we
would
be
able
to
continue
to
use
a
left
turn
lane
onto
140th.
They
have
closed
that
off,
not
just
during
construction
hours
but
non-construction
hours
to
get
a
fire
truck
into
our
neighborhood
yesterday
they
had
to
stop
and
move
cones
to
get
in,
which
is
a
safety
issue.
In
addition
to
that,
I
cannot
move
my
horse
trailer
with
my
horses
in
and
out
of
that
property
with
the
cones.
I
must
stop
and
move
cones
in
order
to
make
a
right
turn
safely
to
move.
Q
My
horses
out,
there
are
about
a
150
houses
back
there.
Multiple
houses
have
horses,
have,
cows,
have
sheep,
have
all
kinds
of
property.
Our
garbage
services
have
been
blocked
from
getting
in
and
when
the
garbage
trucks
cannot
get
in,
they
do
not
come
back.
They
leave
and
we'll
come
back
the
next
time,
which
means
we
cannot
have
our
poop
removal,
which
is
a
problem.
I
get
pellet
and
hay
delivery
by
the
squeeze
every
10
days.
Q
They
cannot
get
in
at
this
point
in
time
because
they
are
blocked
from
making
a
left
turn
the
biggest
and
most
critical
issue,
though,
on
top
of
all
of
that,
the
school
buses
now
are
dropping
off
on
the
south
side
of
Chandler
and
the
kids
are
walking
in
front
of
the
bus
through
the
construction
onto
the
other
side,
because
the
bus
is
not
stopping
on
that
turn
lane
where
they
used
to
the
cars
coming.
West
are
not
stopping
and
those
kids
are
walking
with
no
one
supervising
them
through
that
street.
Q
On
top
of
that,
anyone
coming
from
the
west
side
has
to
make
a
U-turn
to
get
into
our
property.
Well,
Lindsay
is
now
blocked
off
on
the
right
side,
so
you
cannot
safely
make
a
u-turn
on
Lindsay
and
there
is
construction
going
down
in
Greenfield.
You
cannot
make
a
U-turn,
so
anyone
coming
in
that
needs
to
make
a
U-turn
can't
get
into
our
property,
so
we're
completely
blocked
and
we
want
to
work
with
the
city.
Q
H
And
it's
going
to
be
bus
lanes
in
the
middle
of
my
section
of
Arizona
Ave,
which
is
where
I
go
in
and
out
to
get
to
my
complex.
The
I
saw
this
same
kind
of
thing
happen
in
mace
in
down
in
downtown
Mesa
it
on
Main
Street
when
they
put
the
light
rail
in
and
they
had
construction
for
three
years
and
most
of
those
businesses
went
out
of
business
because
people
couldn't
get
there
and
that's
what's
going
to
happen.
H
If
you
put
that
construction
in
down
that
those
are
all
small
businesses
they're
nothing,
there
are
no
big
big
named
ones,
they're
all
small
businesses
and
they
they've
just
recovered
from
covid
and
now
you're
going
to
put
a
construction
site
in
there
and
take
away
their
business,
because
no
one
will
walk
down
there.
They
won't
be
able
to
get
across
the
street
and
we
already
have
problems
with
the
high
school
kids
running
across
the
street.
H
You
know
in
front
of
cars,
which
you
know,
causes
its
own
problem
and
we've
had
police
officers
have
to
stop
people
from
walking
down
the
in
the
middle
of
the
street,
because
so
it
that's
going
to
cause
that
problem
even
more
when
you
put
in
the
bus
lanes,
because
where
are
the
people
going
to
walk
and
I,
so
I'd
like
to
put
an
A
in
for
that
for
not
putting
in
the
road
diet.
Thank
you.
B
Again,
city
manager,
could
you
release
the
issue
to
council
explaining
the
process
that
was
explained
earlier
just
so,
we
could
have
those
that
were
not
restricting
lanes
and
that
none
of
this
is
is
happening.
If
you
could,
please
send
us
a
memo
on
that
again.
I'd
appreciate
it.
Next
up,
our
speaker
is
Derek
Logan
Derek
again,
if
you
could
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
D
Thank
you
mayor
hockey.
Vice
mayor
Orlando,
council
members,
my
name
is
Derek
Logan
I'm
living
lot
96
by
Mike
Estates
in
Chandler
I
was
brought
here
because
of
hearing
about
their
own
diet,
but
it
just
got
me
thinking
about
all
what's
going
on
and
where
the
future
is
going.
I
moved
here,
33
years
ago,
I
love,
Chandler,
I
love.
Where
we've
gone,
how
we've
we're
you
know
where
we've
whatever
we've
gone
since
then
we
certainly
have
developed
a
great
City.
D
We
going-
and
we
may
say
well
this
road
diet
is
not
going
to
be
20
45.
We
won't
know
about
it
for
10
years,
but
mag
is
thinking
about
it
now.
Obviously,
there's
already
stuff
out
there.
What
about?
What
are
the
draw
for
this?
They
might
say?
Well,
you
got
all
this
high
density
ultra
high
density
housing
like
the
proposed
housing
in
the
north
east
corner
of
Pine
Lake.
You
know
just
north
of
Planet
off
of
Ocotillo
Road.
D
So
the
thing
is
so,
let's
not
build
my
you
know
my
wish,
for
you
guys
is
please,
let's
not
try
to
build
massive
ultra
high
density
Pockets
throughout
the
suburbs,
where
people
have
moved
because
they
wanted
to
be
in
the
suburbs.
Let's
keep
the
city,
you
know
as
a
city,
let's
keep
the
suburbs
as
the
suburbs.
We
won't
have
to
worry
about
his
mass
transit,
which
really,
when
you
look
at
it
as
a
per
person
per
per
mile
or
per
time
I
mean.
D
Do
they
really
transfer
that
many
more
people
they
really
don't
I
mean,
especially
if
you
have
dedicated
Lanes
I,
mean
even
like
the
light
rail.
So,
let's
just
what's:
what's
the
plan
going
forward?
What
can
we
do?
What
can
we
do
now
can
reach
out
with
mag
start
talking
to
them?
Now
not
wait
10
years
from
now
for
them
to
come
to
us
with
a
proposal.
What
can
we
do
now?
B
R
R
Originally
I
wasn't
going
to
speak,
but
it
was
concerning
to
me
with
the
mayor
who's,
also
a
member
of
Mag
standing
outside
requesting
for
us
not
to
speak
on
this
issue,
because
it's
not
on
the
agenda
and
so
that's
a
huge
red
flag
to
me
as
an
average
citizen,
and
it
compelled
me
to
speak
but
from
a
previous
presentation
we
saw
earlier
tonight
because
of
Decades
of
planning
and
what
has
helped
out
residents
of
Chandler
to
cut
down
on
their
costs.
R
However,
mag
shouldn't
even
exist
and
these
types
of
decisions
should
be
left
up
to
the
city
and
the
residents
on
how
they
want
their
City
run,
and
so
with
that
being
said,
I
just
wanted
to
get
ahead
of
the
curve,
because
Road
diets
will
cause
more
pollution
to
add
on
to
Janet's
comment
earlier,
because
you
have
more
congestion
and
more
CO2
emissions
from
cars
in
the
future.
So
I
do
greatly
appreciate
you
guys
taking
a
stand
right
now,
but
this
is
something
that
is
very
serious
and
that
we
need
to
get
ahead
of.
O
I
want
to
just
talk
to
Josh
for
a
second
I'm
just
going
to
Echo
the
sentiments.
O
What
mayor
have
already
said
to
put
the
press
release
out
that
we're
not
doing
that,
because
we
keep
hearing
people
share
the
same
thing
that
what
we're
not
doing
don't
do
this,
but
we're
not
doing
it,
but
we
keep
hearing
them
say,
don't
do
it,
but
we're
not
doing
it
so
I
think
having
a
clear
to
send
to
our
residents
in
the
city
of
Chandler
that
they'll
know
we
have
the
city
scope,
we
do
inform
our
community
Through
social
media
and
various
other
ways
that
we
inform
them,
but
I
keep
hearing
people
saying
don't
do
this
and
we're
not
doing
this
and
I
don't
know
how
many
times
you
need
to
say
it
that
we're
not
doing
it.
O
B
The
last
speaker
is
Linda
Hamilton
again,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
I'm,
sorry,
I'm,
Marissa,
I'm,
very
sorry,
yeah,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
You
have
three
minutes
my.
L
Name
is
Marissa
Hamilton
I
am
a
resident
of
Maricopa.
County
I
did
not
realize
I
signed
up,
but
I
will
just
add
to
this.
The
commentary
on
the
road
diets
I
understand
that
you
are
not
doing
it.
However,
there
is
this
unelected
bureaucratic
entity
that
you
are
associated
with
called
mag.
That
is
constantly
trying
to
ruin
our
cities
and
ruin
the
ability
for
the
people
to
be
able
to
have
self-governance
in
their
local
government
I
would
encourage
you
to
discontinue
your
relationship
with
this
entity.
This
entity
is
hostile
to
self-governance.
L
It
is
hostile
to
the
people.
They
do
not
care
about
the
relationship
that
we,
the
people
have
with
our
elected
officials.
They
are
here
to
disrupt
that
they
were
created
in
1960.
The
government
actually
calls
it
coercive
federalism.
We
need
to
end
course.
The
federalism
bring
us
back
to
self-governance,
where
we,
the
people,
have
a
direct
relationship
with
our
elected
officials
and
we
make
decisions
together
about
spending
and
Taxation
and
Roads.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
making
a
definitive
statement
on
this
and
I
encourage
all
of
the
other
cities
in
Maricopa
County.
L
B
We
appreciate
the
the
work
and
those
who
have
died
in
defense
of
our
our
great
nation,
Memorial
Day
was
started
and
during
the
Civil
War,
what
Americans
would
bring
flowers
and
other
items
to
Graves,
so
those
lost
in
battle
So
speaking
for
Council
and
perhaps
other
Wills
too.
So
speaking
for
myself,
we
will
never
forget
the
sacrifices
of
those
who
have
lost
their
lives
to
preserve
our
freedom.
B
Two
other
announcements,
I'd
like
to
make
is
really
a
big
congratulations
to
Micah
Miranda,
our
economic
team
and
the
City
of
Chandler,
as
Chandler
is
being
recognized
as
the
Arizona
Chambers
2023
best
city
for
business,
and
this
event,
which
will
be
coming
up
in
early
June,
is
award
given
the
cities
and
towns
that
show
that
they
drive
economic
development
through
high
quality
of
Live
And
favorable
business
conditions
do
want
to
congratulate
again
our
city
staff,
who
helped
make
this
possible
in
Chandler,
and
many
of
us
will
retent
will
be
attending
this
awards
ceremony
on
June
6th
and
then.
B
Finally,
at
our
last
council
meeting,
we
brought
up
some
Hamilton
High
School
students
that
that
were
top
of
the
state
representing
us
related
to
a
national
economics
challenge.
While
they
is
that
you
in
the
back
Olivia
yeah
Olivia
was
one
of
them,
so
they
traveled
East
and
came
in
fourth
in
the
nation,
and
congratulations
to
you,
foreign.
B
G
You
mayor
this
last
weekend,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
be
part
of
the
annual
Haitian
Flag,
Day
and
I
was
able
to
read
a
proclamation
of
the
1803
flight
day
for
the
Haitian
people.
We
have
many
of
them
that
are
living
through
our
Chandler
and
also
all
over
Arizona.
Those
of
you
who
don't
realize
it
Haiti
was
the
first
black
nation
in
the
world
to
have
taken
its
independence
before
anyone
else
did
the
first
black
nation
from
the
French
as
a
French
colony
and
from
that
place.
G
Haiti
went
all
over
the
world
to
help
others
get
their
freedom
and
so
freedom
for
the
Haitian
people
is
innate
in
them.
It's
something
they
carry
with
them.
Wherever
they
go
and
wherever
they
are,
they
come
to
bring
that
peace
with
them.
They
come
to
bring
that.
Let's
put
our
hands
together
and
work
together.
The
Haitian
people,
as
they
have
traveled
all
over
the
world
and
United
States
included,
never
come
here
to
just
only
take
they
come
here
also
to
give
back
and
to
help
they
are
not
asking
for
a
handout.
G
They
are
asking
for
a
hand
up.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
refugees
that
are
throughout
the
United
States
and
also
in
Arizona
currently
and
those
refugees
they
are
here
legally
and
those
who
are
not
legally.
They
are
under
the
status
of
being
a
refugee,
and
for
that
matter,
the
city
of
Chandler,
as
we
have
stand
to
receive
them
and
to
help
them
thrive
in
this
city.
G
F
J
J
A
J
A
G
J
Ahead,
all
right
we're
good,
it's
all
good,
so
on
Monday
Memorial
it
will
be
Memorial
Day
and
the
as
the
normal
event
Valley
the
sun
at
nine
o'clock,
I'll
be
saying
a
few
words
on
on
behalf
of
the
council
and
thank
you
for
the
honor
mayor,
but
I
do
want
to
say
a
real
quick
thing
is
if
I
had
to
present
the
flag
many
times
to
deceased.
J
You
know
members
of
this
deceased
member
of
the
military
and
just
recently,
I
received
one
myself
and
was
my
dad
and
as
we
go
forward
this
weekend,
I
want
you
to
remember
keywords
that
we
say
during
that
little
that
little
bit
of
discussion
with
we
have
with
the
the
the
deceased
members
family
member.
J
F
So
I've
got
about
10
announcements
that
I
want
to
go
through
real,
quick
now,
but
hey
this
this
week.
Earlier
this
week,
I
was
able
to
go
through
a
simulation
training
event
with
Commander
fan
and
Lieutenant
shellam
over
at
our
world-renowned
Public
Safety
Training,
Center
and
I
got
to
tell
you
you
want
to
talk
about
a
professional
group
of
men
and
women.
F
There's
a
we've
got
a
video
on
our
Facebook
page
for
the
city
council,
Facebook
page.
You
should
check
it
out.
There's
some
training
exercises
that
we
did.
We've
got
an
Advanced
Simulator
room
that
they
train
in
from
a
company.
That's
right
here,
an
Innovative
company
right
here
in
Chandler
and
so
go
check
that
out,
but
I
gotta
Tell
You
Folks.
The
investment
that
we
made
in
that
public
safety
training
center
was
worth
every
penny
and
I
got
to
tell
you.
F
I
had
lunch
with
the
chief
this
week
and
we
talked
about
some
of
the
challenges
that
were
faced,
but
we
also
talked
about
the
successes
that
we're
we're
seeing
and
once
again.
Crime
is
down
dramatically
in
Chandler
Arizona
and
we'll
continue
to
see
those
Investments
of
adding
police
officers
adding
firemen
that
was
part
of
our
budget
tonight,
that
we
approved
to
continue
to
make
Chandler
one
of
the
safest
communities
and
and
not
just

America.
F
So

Team
Chandler
for

and
you

I
got
to
tell
you
it's
pretty
cool
to
see
people

address
their
their
their
government.
That's
what
it's
that's!
What
this
is
all
about

minutes,
but
you
get
to
tell
your

officials.

We

So,
thanks
for
being
here
tonight,.
O
Thanks,
thank
you.
So
much
just
gonna
follow
vice
mayor
as
a
military
veteran
myself
have
proud
to
serve,
but
also
my
father
I'll
be
mourning
him
over
the
weekend
because
he
was
also
a
military
veteran
as
well
and
he
died
from
agent
orange.
He
served
in
Vietnam
and
so
I'll
be
mourning
him,
and
actually
this
is
my
father
passed
away
when
I
was
14
years
old
he's
been
he's
been
gone
26
years
now,
so
I
do
know
about
that.
Sacrifice
and
I
know
that
I'm
grateful.
O
It
encouraged
me
to
join
the
military
and
things
of
that
nature,
so
so
we're
military
families
is
about
those
that
passed
away
and
we're
going
to
all
band
together
as
brothers
as
sisters
and
salute
those
that
left
us,
but
definitely
not
going
to
leave
those
out
of
our
memories.
So
with
that
being
said,
also,
as
you
know,
may
is
armed
forces.
We
there's
a
day
in
May
20th.
O
We
celebrate
Armed,
Forces
Day,
so
vice
mayor
and
I
had
the
awesome
opportunity
to
gather
to
pay
tribute
to
our
veterans
and
active
duty
military.
It
was
a
wonderful
to
hear
the
stories
from
our
Chandler
veterans.
O
J
O
So
it
was
a
really
good
turnout
and,
lastly,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
take
my
point
of
privilege
to
talk
about
my
beautiful
daughter
who
received
her
master's
degree
in
digital
audience
strategy
and
with
distinction
she
graduated
from
ASU
off
the
concrete,
so
I'm
a
proud
papa.
I
asked
her
to
give
me
the
pictures.
You
want
me
to
show
of
you
because
I
know:
okay,
but
I'm
really
proud
of
her
because
number
one
she
works
for.
She
currently
works
for
Disney
right
now,
Good
Morning
America.
O
She
was
an
anchor
for
PBS
for
a
while.
She
worked
at
several
of
the
news
stations
here
and
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
of
this
young
lady.
So
if
you
have
a
roll
open
for
my
daughter,
Chief
marketing,
something
she's,
definitely
ready
and
I
would
just
say
this
last
Point
as
a
family.
O
That
kind
of
does
media-
and
you
appreciate
this-
and
you
appreciate
this
she's-
been
on
so
many
red
carpets
that
most
people
only
see
like
the
Grammys,
the
BET,
Awards,
Oscars
and
she's
been
able
to
participate
in
that
in
her
journey
and
getting
her
master's
degree.
So
it's
just
really
been
great.
Just
having
her
do
some
amazing
things
and
you
know
I
can't
wait
to
see
what
tomorrow
holds
for
her,
because
she
has
a
bright
future
and
she
graduated
with
distinction.
So
she
did
something
even
really
good.
S
Well,
congratulations,
that's
a
hard
act
to
follow,
but
you
have
a
nice
way
of
lightening
some
things
up
and
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
to
vice
mayor
Orlando
and
recognize
you
and
councilmember
Harris
for
your
service.
Like
you,
you
your
words
are
kind
of
hard
to
follow
and
very
moving.
So
thank
you
very
much.
S
I
do
want
to
recognize
that
today
was
the
last
day
of
school,
for
our
kids
for
cusd
driving
around
I
just
saw
kids
everywhere.
Today
it
was
great
and
it
was.
It
was
just
fantastic,
so
wishing
them
a
safe
and
happy
summer.
That
being
said,
we
talked
about
the
summer
slide
before
and
you
know
our
libraries
are
putting
on
a
summer
reading
challenge.
I,
commend
council
member
council
member
Ellis
for
jumping
in
and
joining
the
challenge.
S
I
did
go
to
a
used
bookstore
bought
about
15
books,
so
I'm
getting
ready
to
jump
into
this
challenge.
Myself.
I
know
you're
ready
too
so
on
my
own
library
at
home,
but
we
yeah
I
I,
do
too
I
added
to
mine
so
that
that
was
very
fun
and
then
just
to
continue
sort
of
the
the
summer
tradition.
We
have
great
news
from
our
Downtown
Chandler
area,
even
more
so
than
Kim
Warriors.
Here
our
Chandler
chamber
shared
an
economic
development
update.
S
One
of
the
things
that
was
pointed
out
is
that
one
I
have
some
great
facts
here
we
were,
we
were
shouting
out
our
downtown
before,
but
our
2122
sales
tax
was
the
best
year
on
record
that
they've
seen
an
increase
of
57.4
percent
year-over-year
growth,
and
one
really
interesting
fact
is
that
you
know
we
used
to
have
Summers
that
would
be
slow
and
now
we're
finding
that
our
downtown
businesses
are
are
seeing
an
increase
in
steady
business
over
the
summer.
That's
good
for
them,
it's
good!
For
us,
it's
good
for
small
business.
S
It
was
just
a
great
fact
that
I
wanted
to
share,
and
then
we
have
plenty
of
new
restaurants.
We
talked
about
the
maple
house
I'm,
going
to
give
you
a
few
more
Elliott
steakhouses,
opening
a
couple
of
brewing
companies,
roll
them
up
to
ketos
and
crispy
cones.
So
that
was
great
news.
We
got
plenty
of
places
to
go
and
support
those
businesses.
During
the
summer
we've
got
over
600
new
multi-family
units
coming
into
the
downtown
area
and
then
office,
industrial
and
Retail
lease
rates
all
exceed
The
Five-Year
average.
S
So
we
have
great
news
of
the
city
of
Chandler
for
our
businesses.
I
appreciate
the
information
from
both
Micah
and
from
Kim
and
the
Chamber
for
putting
that
on.
They
do
a
great
job
of
helping
us
share
the
good
news
that
Chandler
is
doing
in
terms
of
Economic
Development.
Finally,
just
really
quick
I
would
like
to
also
give
a
little
shout
out
to
public
works.
S
There
is
this
unsung
gem
believe
it
or
not,
did
a
little
spring
cleaning
cleaning
out
the
garage
dropped
off
dropped
off
junk
at
our
solid
waste
facility
there
on
McQueen
and
and
Queen
Creek.
They
do
such
a
fantastic
job,
it's
something
to
be
proud
of.
It's
a
great
service
to
our
residents.
You've,
never
seen
such
a
clean
facility.
S
B
I
You
city
manager,
thank
you
mayor,
just
very
briefly
wanted
to
add
to
councilor
poston's
comment.
It's
actually
also
the
end
of
National
Public
Works
week
this
week
so
great
time
to
bring
up
the
many
services
they
offer
just
wanted
to
commend
John
Knutson
our
director
and
his
outstanding
team

all
the

single
day.
