Well
good
evening,
mr
chair
member
of
the
committee,
today,
I'm
going
to
give
an
update,
but
I'm
actually
going
to
let
a
few
of
my
newer
employees
that
we've
gotten
this
previous
year
give
the
update.
One
of
them
will
be,
mr
martinez,
I'm
not
sure.
If
all
of
you
have
met
him
yet
xavier
he's
our
admin
manager
and
the
other
will
be
fred.
Herebrand
he's
our
engineering.
G
D
A
F
G
G
So
I'm
I
don't
think
I'm
getting
my
feet
wet
anymore,
but
I
get
the
gist
of
the
job
pretty
much
uh
and
I'd
like
to
kind
of
give
a
quick
presentation.
I
don't
have
a
site
or
anything,
but
just
primarily
what
uh
we're
doing
in
the
department
as
far
as
um
getting
staff
on
board
I'd
like
to
give
a
little
update
that
we're
going
to
be
having
a
uh
rapid
hire
event.
uh
This
coming
saturday
uh
july
30th
at
the
hanoi
chavez
center
from
10
a.m
to
12
p.m.
G
G
G
Support
to
get
this
done,
uh
you
know,
as
as
we
know,
we're
having
a
lot
of
vacancies
to
fill
and
we're
having
some
challenges
getting
those
filled.
I
got
to
give
an
update
in
my
six
months
here
with
the
department
uh
I've
scheduled
and
overview
um
multiple
applications
over
30
applications
scheduled
interviews,
a
lot
of
the
times
we
have
no
shows.
We
have
no
return,
calls
out
of
those
30
interviews
that
we've
had.
G
G
They
go
through
the
the
rigorous
time
frame
of
screening,
all
applicant
applications
that
come
in
and
they
put
it
down
to
us.
It
is
my
job
to
get
those
eligibles
to
interview
to
coordinate
interviews.
Of
course,
with
hiring
committees
go
through
their
applications
go
through
their
qualifications,
uh
contact
their
references
to
make
sure
that
these
individuals
have
a
good
background
sturdy
background
that
we
want
to
hire
in
these
positions,
that
for
the
city
and
a
lot
of
times
it's
challenging,
but.
E
G
G
So
a
lot
of
these
are
multiple
positions
of
the
same
job
description.
What
primarily
uh
waste
operators
and
collection
operators,
so
waste
operators
are
the
ones
that
maintain
the
facility
there
and
the
collections
are
the
ones
that
go
out
into
the
street
and
maintain
our
lines.
So
those
are
the
biggest
vacancies
that
we
have
so.
G
So,
as
you
all
know,
the
the
facility
it
requires
in
our
licensing
by
the
state
requires
that
we
must
have
a
level
four
operator
on
site,
24
7..
We
are
short-handed
in
that
level,
so
we
encourage
and
try
to
blossom.
I
guess
our
new
employees
encourage
them
to
move
up
and
advance
their
careers,
because
it's
a
win-win
for
the
employee
and
for
the
city,
if
we
foster
them
to
grow
in
in
their
field,
to
provide
the
service
to
the
city.
F
H
G
H
H
H
B
H
It
goes
to
an
aeration
basin,
where
it
contacts
with
the
bacteria,
then
the
clarifiers
settle
out.
The
bacteria
separate
the
clear
water
goes
through
an
additional
physical,
filtration
and
uv
disinfection
before
it's
discharged
from
the
stream,
and
then
we
take
the
solids,
put
them
in
an
anaerobic
digester,
where
we
produce
methane
and
also
reduce
the
volume
of
sludge,
so
we
have
less
to
get
rid
of,
and
then
we
do
water
it
and
it
uh
most
of
it
ends
up
as
compost.
Some.
H
G
H
H
This
particular
project
will
also
save
us
energy
because
it
will
use
automatic
valving
systems
in
the
aeration
piping,
as
well
as
dissolved
oxygen
and
ammonia
sensors
within
the
tanks
themselves,
so
that
you
can,
you
only
have
to
aerate
to
add
as
much
oxygen
to
the
tanks
as
we
need.
We
don't
have
to
use
excess
energy.
H
H
H
H
Preliminary
and
primary
treatment
rehab
project-
this
is
what
we
refer
to
as
the
headworks.
It's
a
physical
screening
that
we
do
with
the
wastewater
when
it
comes
into
the
plant,
there's
initially
screens
that
remove
any
type
of
inorganic
material
from
q-tips
to
cigarette
butts
to
toilet
fishing,
all
get
screened
out
there.
We
also
remove
grit,
which
is
more
or
less
sand,
anything
that
settles
very
quickly,
and
then
we
have
primary
clarifiers
that
follow
the
grit
removal.
H
We'll
replace
most
of
that
equipment
as
part
of
this
project,
as
well
as
rehab
the
building
that
houses
much
of
that
equipment
because
it's
been
there
for
20
years.
This
is
a
very
corrosive
and
toxic
atmosphere
in
the
building
because
of
the
raw
sewage
coming
into
it.
There's
sulfide
there's
methane
a
lot
of
toxic
gases
which
affect
the
interior
of
the
of
the
building
over
time.
H
H
H
We
also
plan
to
try
a
different
method
of
composting
right
now.
We
use
the
wind
row
method,
which
relies
on
diffusion
of
air
into
the
compost
in
order
for
the
bugs
that
are
in
the
compost,
which
do
the
work
in
order
for
them
to
breathe,
has
to
naturally
diffuse
in
their
file
the
static
pile
composting,
pile
the
compost
over
top
of
an
aeration
system,
and
you
can
either
blow
air
in
or
suck
air
through,
the
pile
that
way
you
don't
have
to
mix
the
pile,
the
pile
stays
in
one
place.
H
D
G
H
D
D
D
B
uh
Mr
chair
counselor,
garcia,
I
mean
this
part
of
our.
It
is
part
of
our
planning
process
and
there's
multiple
avenues
that
we
look
at,
including
cash
reserves.
That
wastewater
continues
to
have.
I
believe
the
air
ratio
project
was
funded
with
reserve
cash
as
opposed
to
the
anaerobic
digester
was
a
green
bond
that
was
issued
so
also
bonding
is
a
way
and
we
also
have
applications
in
with
organisms
like
the
state
of
new
mexico,
environmental
departments,
a
clean
water
fund.
I
believe
our
headworks
project
is
an
application
for
that
funding.
B
And
then,
of
course,
applications
for
things
like
um
you
know,
federal
infrastructure
money,
um
so
we
do
keep
a
wide
variety
of
funding
available.
We
work
with
our
financial
consultants,
uh
jason
mum
from
been
our
financial
facility
for
many
years,
our
finance
team
for
each
project
to
take
it
individually
and
see.
How
does
that
fit
within
a
long
long
range
financial
plan,
but
several.
D
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
clarification
and
I
guess,
given
we
see
the
need,
given
we
have
different
buckets
of
money,
we
could
potentially
pull
from.
Do.
We
have
a
timeline
for
the
implementation
of
the
project
because
I'd
hate
for
us
to
be
in
a
position
where
we've
run
out
of
parts
and
we're
in
a
jam
so
to
speak
and
do
we
have
a
timeline
for
the
implementation
of
this
new
project.
D
D
D
F
So
the
digesters
have
not
are.
We
did
have
a
issue
not
too
long
ago
that
we
did
have
to
shut
off
some
of
the
reusers,
but
it
was
related
more
to
mother
nature.
So
some
of
the
foam
that
was
on
top
of
our
clarifiers
was
getting
through
because
of
its
foam.
It
hangs
out
on
the
top
all
the
rains
mixed
it
all
into
it,
and
we
went
pretty
much
a
whole
weekend
that
we
couldn't
give
any
water
to
the
reusers.
F
So
that's
pretty
much
all
gone,
there's
a
little
bit
on
on
the
sides
where
the
skimmers
are
at
and
we've
just
been
taking
it
off
little
by
little,
the
previous
weeks
when
the
rain
did
mix
it
all
in
there
was
probably
about
a
maybe
six
inch
layer
around
the
whole
basin
and
since
then,
we've
got
it
completely
off
of
there.
We're
not
having
that
issue
anymore.
D
A
F
A
F
F
D
H
A
I
G
I
Other
one
as
part
of
the
year-end
resolution,
but
uh
there
was
uh
it's
a
bit
of
an
abbreviated
process
for
this
one,
because
uh
this
is
kind
of
we're
kind
of
up
against
two
deadlines.
We
have
to
uh
figure
out
where
we're
going
to
be
short
at
the
year
end,
but
then
we
have
very
little
time
to
put
together
any
addressing
bars
or
other
documentation
to
actually
address
it,
and
this
was
the
only
one
that
was
big
enough
to
actually
require
council
attention
uh
individually.
As
a
as
a
bar
item,
all.
A
I
A
I
A
I
Actually,
showing
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
uh
fire
uh
is
uh
running
short
on
overtime.
uh
If
you
see
on
the
next
page,
uh
you
see
there's
another
area
in
fire
where
we're
also
short
on
overtime
um
and
I'll
note
that
isn't
100
over
time.
It's
just
overtime
was
the
largest
category,
um
uh
one
of
the
other,
the
that's
the
biggest
factor
by
far
because,
as
you
know,
uh
from
your
time
as
fire
chief,
I'm
sure,
uh
a
lot
of
the
overtime
usage
is
not
at
the
discretion
of
the
department.
I
I
We
just
count
on
hope,
hoping
it
comes
out
in
the
wash,
but
there's
just
really.
You
know
any
any
attempt
we
made
to
budget.
It
would
just
be
a
complete
shot
in
the
dark.
You
know
just
absolutely,
you
know
no
no
way
to
educate
a
guest
on
that,
but
um
the
best
that
that's
a
minor
issue
compared
to
the
overtime
issue.
Really
the
overtime
is
the
big
issue
and,
uh
as
you
know,
mr
chair,
from
your
time,
leaving
that
department,
that's
a
an
onsta,
ongoing,
long-standing
issue
with
public
safety.
I
D
I
A
I
uh
Mr
chair,
uh
what
we
are
doing
is
we
are
cutting
back
on
the
subsidy,
so
uh
we
are
recognizing
savings
in
gcc.
That's
largely
resulting
from
uh
you
know
the
facility
being
closed
a
little
bit
longer
than
we
thought
there
were
some
issues
with
the
pool
and
other
things
that
caused
it
facility
usage
to
be
down
versus
what
it
was
projected
to
be
and
uh
by
reducing
the
gcc
budget
again
based
on
projected.
You
know
we're
not
going
to
be
shorting
them
or
cutting
hours,
or
doing
anything
like
that.
This
is
just
rejected.
I
I
I
There
was
the
problems
with
the
I
believe,
the
problem
with
the
hvac
close
the
facility
for
a
bit.
There
was
a
problem
with
the
natatorium
that
they
had
to
replace
some
major
equipment
with
so
that
reduced
their
uh
that
caused
some.
I
don't
know
if
they
were
full-time
facility
closures,
but
that
did
cause
some
closures
of
areas
of
the
facility
uh
which
uh
again
you
know
it
was
basically
an
unintentional
savings
because
of
that
you
know
they
didn't
close
it
on
purpose
or
want
the
equipment
break
to
break
down
on
purpose
to
save
money.
A
D
I
Mr
chair
counselor,
garcia,
it
was
my
original
plan
and
intent
to
take
it
to
finance
uh
on
the
determination
of
the
city.
Attorney
was
that
because
the
legislation
had
to
be
introduced
and
because
we
have
a
very
tight
deadline
to
get
all
of
this
approved
and
sent
to
dfa
by
july
31st,
because
the
long
lead
time
of
committee
approval
process,
it
was
just
not
possible
to
take
it
as
a
separate
item
to
find
it.
D
I
I
D
I
D
I
think
that's
where
chief
joy
needs
to
be
able
to
come
in
and
give
us
the
plan
as
we're
working
towards
fully
staffing
that
department
and
how
that
is
going
to
impact
overtime
and
future
planning.
Because,
as
we
fully
open,
there
might
not
be
opportunity
to
pull
from
g
triple
c
or
any
of
these
other
departments.
I
Correct
and
if
I
could
just
know
uh
mr
chair
counselor
garcia,
there
is
an
inverse
relationship
between
the
two.
The
higher
police
vacancies
go.
The
more
overtime
has
to
be
used
to
provide
coverage,
so
there
is
an
inverse
relationship,
as
we
are
hopefully
able
to
get
police
closer
to
fully
stabbing
full
stabbing.
The
overtime
number
will
go
down,
but
in
a
case
like
we're,
seeing
right
now
where
we
have
an
extraordinarily
high
number
of
vacancies,
overtime
usage
is
going
to
skyrocket
and
that's
the
worst
situation
we
want
to
be.
I
In
I
mean,
obviously
the
chief
joy
would
tell
you
that's
the
situation
he
does
not
want
to
be
in,
because
obviously
overtime
is
much
more
expensive
than
just
having
a
regular
time
officer
on
duty.
So
it's
just
kind
of
an
inevitable
situation
of
the
uh
resulting
from
the
um
the
low
staffing
levels
at
police.
D
Understandable,
but
I
think
that
it'd
be
good
to,
I
think,
just
for
the
public
to
be
aware
of
how
much
overtime
is
really
being
cumbered
by
the
city,
because
that
500
000
is
what
we
weren't
able
to
cover.
So
what
is
the
number
we
were
able
to
cover
using
the
existing
salaries,
lump
that
up
with
this
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
give
an
actual
overtime,
salary
number
I'd.
D
D
It's
it's
kind
of
a
catch
22,
because
when
we
bring
on
more
staff,
we'll
have
more
we're
supposed
to
have
more
officers
on
beat
as
well,
because
I
think
the
number
we've
been
consistently
told
is:
there's
there's
about
eight
on
duty
at
any
given
time
when
we
need
12.
well,
once
we
hit
that
12.
Does
that
mean
we're
never
going
to
see
overtime?
Again,
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
be
the
situation.
G
D
I
think
that's
where
I'd
ask
for
wednesday
to
have
a
little
more
information
just
that
we
can
plan
and
have
chief
joy
plan
to
prepare
as
we
again
as
we
do
everything
we
can
to
have
him
fully
staffed,
get
you
and
your
team
to
figure
out
the
financial
needs
behind
everything,
um
because
I
don't
want
us
to
be
in
a
situation
that's
next
summer,
where
we're
potentially
fully
staffed.
We
didn't
anticipate
it.
We've
got
this
over
time
and
we're
picking
and
pulling
from
these
various
departments
to
cover
the
overtime.
D
G
D
They're
fully
staffed,
I
think
just
the
need.
Is
there?
That's
it.
We
need
to
check
with
chief
maya,
to
see
if
that's
different,
but
with
at
least
it's
different,
because
we've
got
the
lower
vacancies
as
we
want
to
raise.
How
do
we
work
to
adjust
to
make
sure
again
we
next
year
we'll
have
you
in
front
of
us,
mr
hopkins
saying
hey
we're
going
to
pull
from
here,
because
we
didn't
plan
on
this.
D
I
I
G
I
G
I
H
I
D
A
All
right,
um
so
if
I
pull
this
uh
I'll
move
for
approval,
the
motion
for
approval
a
second
any
further
discussion
and
then
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye,
the
abstentions
and
the
maze
cnn
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
That's
the
only
item,
so
no
action
items
for
discussion.
Any
matters
from
staff
director
wheeler.
E
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
We
have
uh
two
items
from
from
public
works
staff
today.
um
The
first
one
is
that
uh
ramela,
glorioso
moss
is
going
to
give
the
committee
an
update
on
uh
big
road
construction
projects
that
are
about
to
go
to
construction,
so
one
of
them
is
of
great
interest
to
you
and
the
second
one
is.
E
I
just
wanted
to
um
note
that
the
icip,
the
request
of
the
legislature
for
our
capital
funding
this
year
is,
um
will
be
introduced
on
wednesday
at
the
governing
body
meeting,
and
that
list
is
posted
in
prime
gov.
Along
with
some
details,
I
wanted
to
invite
you
to
take
a
look
at
that,
and
maybe
we
could
speak
in
advance
if
you'd
like
to
chairman-
um
and
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions
or
suggestions,
I'd
be
happy
to
um
give
you
some
more
insight
into
that.
E
It's
the
result
of
our
ongoing
capital
planning
that
we
do
year
round
listening
to
priorities
from
the
governing
body
from
constituents
from
the
legislature,
and
we
think
that
it
represents
that,
but
we'd
be
really
happy
to
have
your
feedback
on
that.
So
it's
available
for
your
review
and
with
that
I'll,
let
ramela
give
you
an
update
on
the
projects.
C
Good
evening,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
quick
update
on
the
three
roadway
and
trails
projects
that
are
going
to
construction.
This
fall.
The
first
one
is
the
guadalupe
street
reconstruction
project.
We
received
the
funding
agreement
for
10.2
million
dollars
last
week
and
it
will
go
through
approval
process,
beginning
with
the
finance
committee
next
week.
C
We
will
submit
the
plans
for
final
plans
for
nmdo
dlt
approval
on
friday
and
hoping
to
receive
the
notice
to
proceed.
So
it's
the
same
situation,
but
the
canada
ring
contrail
will
take
only
four
months
to
construct,
while
the
guadalupe
street
reconstruction
will
take
one
year
to
construct
weather
permitting.
