Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
So
therefore,
it
is
likely
that
we
will
hold
a
discussion
this
this
evening.
That
could
include
a.
A
A
C
C
C
Your
votes
on
the
tax
council
individually,
so
I
think,
council
president
sandberg
mentioned.
C
Maybe
the
will
of
the
council
to
wait
until
all
nine
of
you
are
present
very
good.
Now
I
see.
A
Up
on
our
screen
that
the
mayor
is
with
us
via
zoom
and
beth
kate,
I
assume-
are
there
other.
A
Yes,
yeah.
If,
if
memory
serves
at
our
regular
session
last
week,
we
already
did
presentation.
D
E
A
E
A
F
Yes,
I'd
like
to
know
what
the
whether
there
is
a
surplus
balance
in
the
city's
ps
lit
funds.
A
G
The
central
dispatch
we
get
ps
lit
funding
for
that
first
and
then
the
remainder
falls
down.
G
To
the
four
units
of
government,
the
county,
the
city,
ellisville
and
steinsville,
and
then
we.
G
G
G
The
actual
results
for
that
fiscal
year
for
the
police
and
fire
department,
it
is
anticipated.
G
There
will
be
no
surplus
by
the
end
of
this
year.
We
did
have
some
surplus
and
we
were
able
to.
G
G
F
F
So
I'm
a
little
confused
when
you
say
the
county
and
city
have
been
meeting.
Is
that
just.
F
G
G
G
They
will
then
vote
on
that
and
then
it
gets
forwarded
to
the
subcommittee
of
the
tax.
G
Council,
it
gets
reviewed
by
that
group,
which
is
comprised
of
the
four
units
of
government.
G
And
then
they
make
a
recommendation
back
to
the
city
and
county
for
approval
of
that
budget.
G
G
Kind
of
a
unique
group
or
in
that
it's
housed
at
the
city,
so
there's
all
city
employees,
but.
G
The
groups
for
their
approval
got
it,
and
so
the
dispatch
or
the
psap
budget
cannot
be
spent
on.
H
Mr
underwood,
I
inquired
last
time
about
the
expiring
creed
fund
and
its
potential
to.
H
Be
used,
for
instance,
for
offsetting
the
cost
of
the
fire
or
a
police
station,
and
perhaps
would.
H
Do
you
have
more
information
to
share
on
that?
Yes,
we
we
published
in
our.
G
Q,
a
links
to
the
actual
statute
that
guides
that,
obviously
we
have
two-
we
have
the
downtown.
G
H
G
More
lenient,
in
that
it's
it's
defined
as
inner
serving
so,
but
the
cred
is
a
little
bit
more.
G
H
Expiring,
so
we
could
transfer
them
once
there's
a
process
to
close
those
out.
But
yes.
D
Be
available
for
transfers
for
other
purposes,
I
believe
the
downtown
and
miss
kate
can.
G
D
So
the
downtown
creed
fund
is
already
eligible,
essentially
for
for
being
closed
down
and.
G
That
that
is
my
understanding
once
we
go
through
the
closeout
process,
yeah.
D
Right,
thank
you.
Could
you
speak
a
little
more
to
the
history
of
the
downtown
fund,
in
particular,.
D
D
Those
districts
or
typical
purposes
now
you're
dating
me,
so
I
I
don't
believe
I
was
here
for.
G
G
G
The
last
one
in
the
downtown
was
an
agreement
funding
agreement
with
envisage
that
allowed
them.
G
Points
that
they
had
to
hit
in
order
to
continue
to
qualify
and
not
claw
back
from
that
and.
I
Does
the
city
have
a
current
shortfall
in
in
the
budget
if
we're,
if
we're
looking
to
generate.
I
G
Part
of
the
request
is
to
provide
additional
operational
funds
for
anticipated
increases.
G
G
G
A
J
J
J
Lately
the
lit
local
income
tax
proposal
is
really
designed
to
create
a
stable,
ongoing.
J
Viable
source
of
revenue
for
ongoing
expenses
and
those
ongoing
expenses,
as
we
know,.
J
Is
a
wide
range
of
expenses,
including
really
long-range
sustainable
plans
for
for
public
safety.
J
Actions
unforeseen
needs
downturns
in
the
economy.
You
know
we
do
that
in
the
general
fund.
J
But
not
to
spend
down
kind
of
one-time
money
in
order
to
meet
ongoing
expenses,
and
I
think.
J
J
You
want
to
add
anything
to
that,
but
I
just
you
know
using
cash
reserves
for
ongoing.
A
A
K
Some
incentive
packages,
such
as
signing
bonuses,
a
some
housing
incentives.
K
K
Purposes,
they
do
those
types
of
things
they
do
extra
patrols,
and
so
we
we
have.
K
One
of
those
for
two
of
those
right
now,
I'm
sorry
three
we
are
down.
We
have
five
openings,
that.
K
K
A
A
H
Bit
about
the
ps
lit,
could
you
describe
what
the
current
our
share
of
revenue
is
per
year.
H
G
Make
sure
that
I've
got
the
right
dollar
amount?
I
I
I
can
tell
you
this
that
I
do
know
that
each.
G
Year,
you
know
we
we
provide
you
and
I
sent
out
a
copy
earlier
this
afternoon
of
that
10-year
plan.
G
Is
that
we
typically
don't
have
enough
money
to
fund
all
of
the
requests
for
police
and
fire.
G
We
look
at
the
total
amount,
and
this
includes
the
column
that
I
call
the
11th
year.
G
Leftover,
excess
revenues
for
that
and
we
do
adjust
the
the
plan.
G
G
That
to
the
various
units
and
then
obviously,
as
you
all
know,
we
get
an
update
august.
The
first.
G
Which
is
relatively
late,
and
then
we
get
a
final
number
late
in
october
after
the
state.
G
Takes
their
final
swat
at
it,
so
to
speak,
the
only
good
news
is
on
on
on
both
the
lit.
G
G
H
Okay,
I
was
hoping
for
some
numbers,
so
if
you're
like
you'll,
give
me
a
minute
I'll.
G
H
Okay,
councilmember
rosenberger
has
a
question.
Is
mr
connell
on
the
call.
L
L
M
One
one
million
seven
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
the
bt
revenues
will.
L
A
Is
it
regarding
the
numbers
that
he's
looking
for?
No,
it's
a
more
general
question.
A
Well,
why
don't
you
go
ahead
and
pose
it?
Okay,
there's
been
some
discussion
with.
G
Administration
and
the
council,
the
agreement
was
to
use
that
to
fund
capital
replacements.
G
That
had
inoperable
equipment,
the
need
to
borrow
equipment
from
surrounding
fire
departments
to.
G
Dire
straits
and
as
as
the
mayor
said
earlier,
you
know
we
don't
want
to
go
backwards.
G
As
we
move
forward
well
since
the
number
one
one
of
the
number
one
priorities
that.
I
I
And
then,
and
therefore
focus
you
know,
on
public
safety
and
and.
I
Then
then,
it
makes
it
a
cleaner
thought
in
my
mind,
on
how
to
think
think
about
this.
I
J
J
J
J
J
That's
the
reason
it
was
passed
for
that
as
to
the
question
of
using
a
ps
lit.
J
Instead
of
the
economic
development
lit,
the
first
point
is:
we
are
committing
together.
The.
J
Economic
development
lit
in
substantial
portion
to
public
safety-
that
is,
it's
we're
mutually.
J
Committing
to
do
that
at
the
city
level
and
that's
fully-
I
fully
expect
to
do
that.
J
Order
to
fund
the
same
services,
why
is
it
a
higher
tax
rate
that
I'll
turn
to
mr
underwood.
G
It
might
be
a
bit
enough
here,
it's
because
there's
a
difference.
G
In
the
dif
distribution
methodology
between
the
different
buckets,
so
the
we
only
get
about
51.
G
Of
the
public
safety
dollars
that
come
down
to
us
versus
58
in
the
ed,
so
there's
a
seven
percent.
G
Be
eight
eight
five
between
a
combination
of
the
two
rates
to
raise
the
same
kind
of
money.
A
Thank
you
additional
council
questions,
councilmember
rallo
well,
mr
underwood,
could
we.
H
H
Of
the
ps
lit
fund
for
the
city
share
for
non
non
for
non-dispatch
share
has
been
last.
G
G
Safety
was
five
point:
four,
four,
eight
million
dollars
five
point:
four.
I
was
counted
so
so.
G
What
that
number
does
not
include
would
be
any
encumbrances
against
that
fund
and
then.
G
It
gets
split
between
the
the
two
two
groups,
dispatch
and
and
police
and
fire
and
as.
G
I
said
I
don't
anticipate
that
we'll
have
a
unencumbered
balance
in
the
police
and
fire.
G
G
H
H
For
items
in
this
public
safety
bucket
of
the
lit
that.
H
And
if
you
disagree,
I'd
like
to
hear
that
in
terms
of
numerically
thank
you.
N
G
That
to
replace
equipment
for
them.
Yes,
because
we
were
way
behind
on
replacements,.
G
Sorry
I
understand
that
that
replacement
cost
has
been
considerable.
Has
it
all
gone
to
capital.
N
Capital
are
they
on
a
capital
replacement
schedule,
that's
adequate
or
it
will
should
we.
N
J
J
There's
been
a
substantial
that
was
a
very
strong
message
last
year
in
the
budget
hearings.
N
Fund
so,
but
with
that
I
think
maybe
it
would
be
good
to
hear
from
chief
moore
and
towards
the.
O
That,
when
we
talk
about
this,
that
we
remember
where
we
were,
where
we're
heading.
O
O
O
Know
six
years
ago,
when
we
use
ps
lit
funds,
it
is
primarily
for
capital
expenditures,
fire
gear.
O
Large
equipment,
small
equipment-
you
know
we
have
dedicated
some
towards
facility
improvements.
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
G
Reserves
because
there
are
encumbrances
included
in
that
amount,
the.
G
Reserve,
I
believe,
would
be
about
one
million
dollars
and
I
believe
that
the.
G
G
F
Okay,
sorry,
it
went
a
little
fast
for
me,
so
the
if
we
think
about
reserves
so
end
of
year.
G
Will
be
about
2.2
million
dollars,
and
that
will
all
be
out
would
be
for
dispatch.
A
That
me
making
the
noise
sorry
about
that.
My
question
has
to
do
with
our
current
capacity.
A
With
our
social
worker
program,
as
you
know,
we're
all
very
enthusiastic
about
that,
having.
A
A
A
A
K
K
K
And
there
are
probably
areas
that
we
could
increase
the
services
that
they
provide.
K
That
you
know
they're
they're
not
working
to
full
full
complement
of
the.
K
We
had
that
is
a
very
important
program
as
well.
They
they
do
relieve
a
lot
of
the
minor
calls.
K
That
the
sworn
officers
take
and
it
and
it
frees
them
up
to
do
to
do
more.
K
You
know
to
respond
to
more
serious
calls
and
things
like
that,
and
that
is
a
program
that.
K
Of
hours,
because
they
currently
they
stop
working
at
about
8
p.m.
Each
night.
K
A
K
K
J
You
very
much,
I
guess
the
just
the
simple
point
I'd
make.
Is
it
it's
not
either
or
it's.
J
Both
and
we
absolutely
with
the
council,
are
committed
to
doing
all
we
can
to
invest
in
expand.
J
J
J
Some
of
these
collaborative
accompanying
services,
so
it's
a
both
end
and
absolutely
with.
J
A
A
A
A
N
This
has
sort
of
come
up
already
tonight
and
that
the
mayor
is
proposing
some.
N
Money
from
the
creed
to
help
finance
public
safety,
but
first
I'd
like
to
get
so
a
basic.
J
J
Trying
to
work
with
you
to
cut
those
costs.
Well,
no,
I
appreciate
that
I
mean,
like
I
had
thought.
N
Perhaps
this
might
be
a
source
of
for
the
entire,
like
the
entirety
might
be
used
for.
N
Can
we
at
least
get
some
confirmation
that
I
mean
will?
Is
it
the
administration's
intention.
J
J
J
The
nine
of
you,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
to
protect
the
flexibility
of
this
mayor
or
the.
J
Next
mayor
or
this
council
in
this
community
to
respond
to
needs-
and
I
don't-
I
have
not.
J
N
Will
flow
into
the
general
fund,
and
so
if,
if
your
statement
is
a
commitment
that
you're
not.
N
I
might
be
more
okay,
with
the
three
million
dollars
go
with
three
million
of
it
going
to.
N
J
J
J
J
I
hear
your
question
yeah
yeah,
I
I
don't
again.
I
I
don't
know,
I
don't
think
we've
thought.
J
J
A
H
To
be
find
ourselves
where
we
were
prior
to
this
fop
contract
again,
that
is.
H
H
H
G
G
G
Try
to
be
as
competitive
with
salaries
as
we
can
I'll.
Let
the
mayor
take
over
from
here.
J
Thanks
for
the
question,
I
think.
J
J
J
We
have
adequate
funding
to
put
our
police
salaries
where
you
asked
us.
H
Anticipated
raises
for
for
staff,
or
is
it
coming
from
p.s
lit
future
raises
for
police
and
fire.
G
Then
there
is
another
three
million
dollars
in
general
operating
ask
that
would
be
utilized.
G
Safety
bucket
of
a
million
and
a
half
and
the
three
million
dollar
[
__
],
total
four
and.
H
H
G
G
L
L
L
Original
proposal,
I
think
everything
seems
really
justified
and
cutting
cutting
little
bits
of.
L
Each
doesn't
make
sense
to
me,
but
I
want
to
ask
if,
if
cuts
are
being
made,
what
makes
more
sense
to.
L
L
L
We
don't
have
a
30
minute
maximum
frequency,
so
I
guess
just
you
know.
I
know
this
is.
J
Thanks
for
the
question
look,
this
is
a
very
complicated
mix
of
things.
I
agree
with
your
point.
J
Have
been
trying
to
work
very
hard
to
identify
reductions,
and
you
heard
from
mr
mr
connell.
J
Asked
them,
can
you,
can
you
give
us
some
room?
I
there's
cost
to
that.
There's
opportunity
costs
of.
J
That
but
but
we
think
it's
responsible
to
do
it,
I
I
do
think
from
our
perspective,
you
know.
J
J
J
J
I
said
again,
it's
not
perfect
for
my
perspective,
but
I
think
it's
we're
close.
I
do
think
some.
J
Of
the
discussions
about
continuing
to
spend
down
balances
further
refinements
do
do
risk
us.
J
A
A
There
who
are
interested
in
making
a
comment,
I
think
we
probably
have
been
keeping
the
comment.

Limits
this
would
be
essential
to
that
east-west
express
line,
that's
very
coveted
by
most
of
the.
P
Community
the
chamber
appreciates
the
quality
place
in
our
community.
This
does
not
come
for.
P
P
P
P
Inflation
furthering
my
point
tomorrow,
the
county
assessor's
office
will
be
mailing
out
that.
P
P
P
This
is
additional
property
tax,
mainly
to
cover
teacher
and
support
staff
salaries.
The
confluence.
P
Number
eight:
in
the
yes
column,

up
a
dichotomy
between

that
the
mayor
is
espousing.

About
not
trying
to
take
monies
that
might
be
available,

some
of
the
council.

we
had
in
the
past,
you
know
about

taking
more
liberties
with
our
money,

we.

S
Funds
that
could
come
out

need.
S
S
Upset
about
the
prospect
of
having
another
tax
increase
and,
and
even
you
know,
looking.
S
At
what's
happening
with
our
assessments,
even
people
who
are
so-called
middle
class
or
even
a.
S
T
This
is
actually
ed
bernstein,
since
we're
sharing
confused.
I
just
like
to
echo
what
some.
T
These
little
pieces,
particularly
the
thing
that
dorfman
mentioned,
cannot
attacks,
be.
T
Of
the
whole
community,
which
to
me,
is
fully
funding
our
police
fire
and
having
people.
T
A
U
Missing
housing
types:
I
think
his
concerns
that
this
reflects
an
urge
to
build
more.
U
U
U
U
When,
in
fact,
we
haven't
even
explored
whether
there
are
available
funds,
so
I
would
urge
the.
C
Yes,
I
I
see
wendy
bernstein's
hand
has
gone
back
up.
I
neglected
to
ask
members
of
the
public.
V
Right
after
ed,
but
I
agree
with
the
speakers
who
have
been
active
with
us
and
the.
V
V
V
W
And
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
that
a
tax
increase
right
now
with
the
inflation
and
so.
W
W
Totally
dedicated
to
the
folks
that
serve
and
protect
our
our
community
here,
but
we.
W
C
C
C
To
unveil
you
get
it
right,
thank
you
for
giving
me
a
moment
or
two.
I
am
opposed
to
a.
X
X
In
in
in
the
dense
areas,
I
I
certainly
agree
with
the
comments
that
were
made.
X
X
Trying
to
come
up
with
the
down
payment
and
mortgage
and
now
you're
telling
them
up.
X
With
taxes,
I
think
we
need
we
need
to,
I
mean
you
can
raise
taxes
for
especially
for.
X
Purposes
like
like,
like
civil
services
and
police
and
fire
when
inflation
is
predictable,.
X
But
when
inflation
is
not
predictable
and
we
actually
don't
know
where
inflation's
going
to
go.
X
And
I'm
an
economist,
I
don't
know
where
it's
going
to
go,
that
that
this
is
not
the
time
to
do
it.
X
A
Oh,
I
have
a
late
zoomtaker,
rita
barrow
would
like
to
comment.
A
A
H
Sorry,
I
have
a
couple
simple
ones.
I
think
straightforward,
mr
underwood,.
G
Sorry
we
turned
it
off
twice
here:
no,
the
public
safety
has
to
be
used.
H
A
Council
member
volun,
yes,
thank
you
I'd
like
to
ask
about
this
concern
over.
N
Week
here
and
that
this
is
a
resolution,
are
we
somehow
I
mean
I,
I
feel
very
strongly
that
the.
N
The
basic
buckets
into
which
were
exploring
the
use
of
this
tax
money
should
stay
consistent
from.
J
This
is
not
any
stratagem
to
support
a
plex
program
in
core
neighborhoods.
The
housing
program.
J
That
is
outlined,
which
is
desperately
needed,
is
to
really
support
three
different.
J
Either
strongly
or
moderately
want
the
city
to
invest
in
supportive
housing
for.
J
Shoehorn
plexus
in
the
zoning
pattern.
So
let
me
just
make
be
clear
about
that.
J
This
is
a
this
is
an
overarching
proposal
for
revenue,
earmarking
for
certain
purposes,
and
one.
N
Too,
I'd
like
to
hear
more
specifically
what
housing
and
neighborhood
development
has
in
mind.
Y
The
housing
neighborhood
development
department-
you
know,
as
I've,
told
a
number
of
council
members.
Y
Obviously
our
2021
budget
proposal,
the
american
rescue
plan
act
and
how
we
fulfill
the
need
in.
Y
Those
three
buckets,
so
the
housing
security
group
hold
on
one
second
yeah
2021
budget
proposal.
N
Y
Council
members,
I've
lost
track
of
time
due
to
please
I
it
was
2021
when
I
talked
to
you.
Y
About
2022
pardon
me
so
when
we
look
at
how
we
how
we
fill
those
buckets
housing
security
group
as.
Y
Y
Y
Y
The
rise
of
the
median
sales
price-
you
know-
I
saw
the
market
report
just
from
last
month.
Y
Y
Y
Y
N
Well,
I
think
it
it
helps
us
use
it.
So
we
have
money
from
the
community
development
block,
grant.
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
N
Trigger
additional
federal
dollars,
it
just
helps
make
more
sense
of
the
federal
dollars
we're.
N
Y
N
Y
Okay,
so
we're
what's
called
an
entitlement
community
and
we
get
our
money
directly
from.
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
In
tandem
together
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
safe
and
affordable
housing
here.
Y
Esd
and
planning
do
to
help
drive
the
housing
bus,
as
I
said
forward.
I,
like
that
metaphor,.
N
A
A
A
A
J
This
is
rumors
and
there
is
no
intent
to
fund
or
re-litigate
the
issue
that
we.
J
J
We
just
helped
fund
actually
through
cdf,
friendly
bloomington,
but
also
locally
with.
J
Housing,
the
the
co-op
that
is
going
to
create
housing
for
18
people
on
butler
park
on
9th.
J
J
J
Co-Investment
from
us
to
to
help
that
that
could
be
done
in
hopewell.
That
could
be
done
in
a.
J
Particular
location
it
is
it
is,
it
is
meant
to
help
explore.
It
could
be
looking
at
lower
cost.
J
J
There's
going
to
be
a
tax
fund,
that's
dedicated
on
creating
new
plexes
in
core
neighborhoods.
A
Y
Y
Y
Would
say
one
missing
piece
missing:
housing
is
the
workforce
housing.
We
see
a
lot
of.
Y
Y
Y
Housing,
tough
because
of
of
where
the
market
is
here
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
Oh
again,
thanks.
A
For
the
clarification
council,
member
smith
had
a
hand
up,
and
then
anyone
else
have
a
question.
I
Y
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
sort
of
running
a
foul
of
anything
that
we,
I'm
not
sure.
I'm.
J
J
J
Assurance
that
it's
not
meant
for
the
yeah
for
that
effort
that
some
people
have
hypothesized.
G
G
G
G
Year
will
will
get
added.
On
the
last
few
years,
we've
been
in
the
three
and
a
half.
G
G
Down
because
it
spreads
the
levies
that
were
all
permitted
across
more
dollars,
so
you.
G
G
Property
tax
rate
would
go
up,
so
the
increase
in
assessed
value
does
not
necessarily
mean.
H
H
I
just
wondered
if
you,
in
terms
of
impact,
trying
to
assess
the
impact
of
this
tax
on
individuals.
H
In
the
community,
in
the
county
and
I
and
throughout
the
county-
and
I
read
today
in
the.
H
Is
that
does
that
comport
with
your
estimation
of
the
impact?
Yes,
that
would
be
relatively
close.
A
H
I'll
just
say
that
the
proposed
tax
comes
at
a
very
poor
time.
I
think
that's
been
well
stated.
H
H
H
H
Elsewhere,
maybe
we
can
find
it
elsewhere.
I
haven't
resolved
whether
we
can
or
not
yet.
H
Part
of
the
line
of
my
questioning
was
intended
to
explore
reducing
the
tax
rate
so
finding
other.
H
Sources
of
funds,
two
possibilities
was,
it
seems
to
me
the
ps
lit
one
one
possibility.
H
Being
asked
for
here
from
that,
the
other
is
crete,
funds,
which
I
see
as
available
to
us.
H
H
To
say
that
it's
part
of
our
reserves,
it's
not
and
they
could
be
utilized.
I
think,
for.
H
Funds
are
transferable
and
therefore
they're
not
geographically
required
to
be
spent
in
a
in
a.
A
L
L
L
Are
all
areas
that
when
you
look
at
the
light
items,
our
line
items
are
just
like
desperately.
L
And
you
know
we
had
some
folks
comment
tonight,
but
there's
so
many
more
people.
L
L
L
L
L
Appropriately-
and
I
just
I
just
want
to
like
reiterate
that
it
isn't
easy
to
tax
and.
L
E
E
E
E
E
So
so
that's
that's
where
we
are
or
where
I
am.
I
appreciate
innovation
and
some
of
the
things.
E
E
E
E
E
In
particular,
our
public
comment
that's
been
very,
very
helpful
and
I
do
believe
we'll
get
there.
E
I
I
I
I
Nonsense
and
I
and
I
reject
the
implication
that
that's
that's
kind
of
where
it's
at.
I
I
Asking
about
p.s
lit,
I
know
that's
why
other
colleagues
had
do
done
that
as
well.
I
kind
of
feel.
I
I
I
I
So
if
we
vote
9-0
or
8-1,
we
just
cut
out
everybody's
vote
except
ours.
I
I
N
N
N
N
N
Build
a
new
building
there
are
we
not
literally
building
that
building,
hoping
that
they
will
come.
N
I
also
heard
the
phrase
the
the
that
this
tax
had
an
eye-popping
price
tag.
N
N
Beverage
tax
is
now
exceeding
any
previous
amounts
that
were
amassed
before
the
pandemic.
N
N
I
used
to
hear
for
years
and
years.
In
fact
it
was
back
in
two
thousand
and
that
I
had
a.
N
Reason
to
to
to
do
the
I
mean
I
remember
hearing
counselor
mayor
former
colleague,
consumer
mayor.
N
Talk
about
how
people
moving
to
lamented
there
not
being
a
quick
way
to
get
from
kmart
to
kmart.
N
N
Mr
zodia
used
this
great
metaphor:
how
do
we
drive
the
housing
bus
forward?
Well,
the
answer
is.
N
N
A
fire
department
that
has
an
iso
rating
of
one
well
we're
getting
to
the
point
now
where
we.
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
When
you
know
mayor
cruzan
came
to
us
with
a
flat
budget,
he
was
right,
like
we
didn't,
have
any.
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
Really
do
expect
more
specifics
from
my
colleagues
who
would
propose
to
cut
a
propo.
N
A
proposal
for
the
administration
that
has
been
very
carefully
considered,
I
think.
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
don't
have
anything
prepared,
so
hopefully
I
won't
fumble
too
much,
but
I
think.
F
F
F
A
new
stark
warning
from
scientists
that
we
must
act.
We
must
change
the
way
we
live.
F
F
Have
another
funding
source
to
do
that
and
there's
you
know
we
received
feedback
from.
F
F
F
F
F
Use
and
follow
through
on
our
climate
commitments.
So
for
these
reasons
I
support
the
lit
increase.
F
But
I
understand
that's
what
we're
going
to
have
to
do,
but
I
also
would
like
to
hear
from.
F
F
F
Are
essential
and
I
think
it's
essential
that
we
maintain
and
retain
our
highly
qualified
staff.
D
At
our
first
consideration
of
this,
we'll
be
having
more
meetings.
D
Colleagues
missing,
I
just
look
forward
to
continued
discussion
with
colleagues.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
rollo,
just
in
response.
It's
a
very
interesting
good
conversation.
H
I
think
transit
is
very
important.
In
fact
I
I
do
find
it
very
attractive
because
it
is,
it
meets.
H
H
H
Other
respects,
but
I
want
to
say
that
you
know
inflation
is
likely
to
remain
elevated.
Many.
H
H
Two,
the
bureau
of
labor
statistics,
estimate
it's
an
additional
thirty
five
hundred
dollars.
H
H
Inflation
rate
running
at
about
13
percent.
This
tax
is
born
disproportionately
lower
income.
H
Residents,
so
that
has
to
be
taken
into
account
in
terms
of
the
degree
to
which
we're
willing
to.
H
H
It
is
so
this
weighs
on
me
and
I'm
I'm
happy.
I
think
I
agree
with
councilmember
smith
that
we.
H
So
that's
I'll
end
it
there.
I
look
forward
to
speaking
to
my
colleagues.
H
Over
the
next
week
or
more,
hopefully,
thank
you.
Anyone
else,
council,
member
bowling.
N
N
N
That
they
represent
a
majority
of
the
county
if
that
majority
were
smaller,
if
it
was
a
52.
N
We
would
allocate
that
percentage
so,
instead
of
a
majority
of
five
being
able
to
allocate
58.
N
N
That
you
know
I
sm
like
a
somehow
a
small
minority
is
making
a
decision
for
everybody.
N
And
I
think
the
state
is
going
to
keep
reacting
to
it,
but
cities
like
any
other
government
entity.
N
Now
is
not
the
time
people
are
suffering,
that's
always
been
true,
that's
been
true.
Every
time
we.
N
N
I
think
you
know
make
the
case
for
this
tax,
that
this
is
really
the
kind
of
money
that
we.
N
Should
have
been
spending
all
along
on
our
city
that
for
decades
and
decades
we,
you
know
this.
N
N
N
They're
not
easy
to
service
by
buses,
so
I
mean,
if
there's
nothing
else,
this
debate.
N
N
N
N
A
story
for
another
day:
we
don't
we
pale
in
comparison
to
them,
we're
this.
This
taxable
is.
N
N
A
H
Mr
president,
I
moved
to
postpone
resolution
2209
to
the
council's
may
4th
regular
session.
