Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube, in a new tab.
370 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review; 3 stretch(es) where a voice was detected and no words were recognized.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 16 voices separated from the audio.
35 short machine repair(s) (39 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 94.4% of 16,029 content words.
Dotted words (418 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
370 passages (20% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Voice detected, no words recognized (3 stretches). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
00:08:37 (14 s) — neither reading has words
00:24:16 (13 s) — neither reading has words
01:51:25 (6 s) — neither reading has words
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

made, and one was a very big support. ‸ unanimous position ‸ this council has taken to try to correct some of the issues that we're having to deal with that basically created ‸ people
and I was reelected twice it took that long to correct it and I want to compliment this council for seeing that it's necessary to ‸ that again. History repeats itself obviously. There's a lot of negatives, and it also adds up to what you all are familiar with, the majority of you were, as

‸ very, very ‸ supportive of your list of both, and it was unanimous. Even one council member wanted it done a little differently. However, it was still unanimous. You all felt that it was necessary to look into it and try to correct the things that the city's going through right now thank you

I think it's, you know, time that something's done. You know, maybe we should, you know, pass the hat by the mayor a crown and red coats for the city council and, you know, a Benedict Arnold outfit for the city manager. But, you know, this is ridiculous. The majority of your customers live under the

Just like you're in here making the statements that you're making right now, there's dozens of other phone calls that we get from issues that we've actually resolved. So, I mean, I know you've got an ongoing issue. You opted to go to court or whatever you decided to do. That's correct. You know, but ‸ you do have representation.

And we do have certain rules regarding ‸ not invoking slanderous or ‸ defamatory or obscene comments or anything like that. Not suggesting that that's what's in the email, but the general rules regarding public decorum apply to email comments, just like somebody physically being here making the comments.

Yes, sir. Thank you. I just wanted to give you an update on currently where we're at with COVID-19 across the state and both locally. Currently, we're at 652,148 cases. Brevard County has 7,742 cases.

So we're certainly seeing the numbers go down, but I think it's due to a lot of what we're seeing with the mandate of masks, the protective measures that are being taken, and certainly, if anybody's been watching the news,
numbers come wintertime, along with the flu and some of the other respiratory issues that we're going to see. So we're certainly being urged to continue with the CDC recommendations and guidelines, with following social distancing, hand washing, face covers, all those things. Certainly the governor is pushing very hard for a vaccination, as much as everybody else is, to hopefully get that out. But I just don't want there to be a false sense of security right now. Certainly we're seeing a drastic drop in our numbers, both locally and statewide. But I think it's due to a lot of the protective measures that we're seeing. That's what's causing this drastic drop in this rate change in the number of positivity cases that we see across the state. And we just need to continue to hold fast to that and whatever the city council's directions are.
Thank you, sir. And welcome back. Mr. Mayor, I'd like to just add on to that. At the August 12th city council meeting, city council adopted emergency ordinance related to face coverings. Within that ordinance, it states that the city council will periodically review ‸ the ordinance. And specifically every 30 days following the effective date to determine whether the ordinance should be terminated, depending on
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:16:11–00:16:13 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
don't have to take any action. The only action that would be necessary is if you wanted to terminate the ordinance. It's done by a majority vote. We did try to bring in the county medical director,
but we do plan on bringing him in, working to bring him in at the next time that we would bring this back for review. So you have some, besides just hearing from us and the reported numbers that come from the state, from a medical professional on where we're at with the current pandemic.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:16:55–00:16:59 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
mean, I'm good. I think the mandate has held everybody accountable, including myself. ‸ People hold me accountable every time I step my toe out the car. I know.

And so I just want to make you aware that we through our PR division, Samantha and Rachel have worked on these very nice flyers. They're out in the customer service lobby. And we're also going
FYI for the survey to get input from the residents. As far as what they're looking for with the parks and different amenities things that they'd like to do differently.
And so if you would share it on your Facebook and ‸ social media to get that out there. We've had a, with all this COVID, we've had a very low response on the survey. So any help that you could provide, we'd appreciate it.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:18:50–00:18:51 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Yeah, that was my question. ‸ How is the survey going? You already answered that question. It's not going very well. What do you think we can do other than just sharing it on social media? Is there any other thing you think of?
go to every resident. She's doing more of the blast. We're putting it downstairs with the, at the water customer service billing station. So that'll maybe help us get some, some people to fill it out. And then also through the schools, we're hoping, because we want some input from the kids as well. Okay. As also at the Julie Smith Center.

takes a long time. It's pretty lengthy. Yeah. So, well, I don't know if they can shorten it up now. But the other thing is they were looking at putting signs out in parks. Did you say they had done that?
And I had one other thing just to give you an update on the CRF funds the city received for rental and utility assistance. We opened the application process up ‸ last Friday.

Mr. City Manager? I do have a couple of items. The first one is related to City ‸ Council's direction to conduct or reach out to the FBI to have an investigation conducted here at the City of Cocoa. And
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:21:40–00:21:40 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)

Okay. And then the final item that I have, we did receive a request yesterday from the Tourism Development Office with the county. They're looking for conference room space for their sports committee meeting on October 21st, 2020, from 1 to 4 p.m.

think maybe because ‸ the, you know, the TDC is located right here in Cocoa Village as well. So, just looking for an approval from city council on that.
We have a motion from Councilwoman Cost, a second from Councilwoman Warner. All in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed. The passage unanimously. Okay. Nothing further to report. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Councilwoman Warner.
Just one thing. When you get a chance, I got a copy of the police annual report for 2019 earlier, and I just wanted to point out, since a lot of the public might not get to see it, in 2019, our police department answered 58,581 calls for service.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:24:15–00:24:31 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
are working. And I think we need to make sure that we stay on top of the latest innovation and body cameras so that our officers always have the protection of body cameras, and so does the public.
58,581 calls with only 36 citizen complaints. That's just pretty amazing. That's great customer service. Because I guarantee you, we've had more citizen complaints than that. It's the front desk of the water department.

month that's ‸ really going to improve things for all the six people that are at home right now watching, but perhaps we can double, triple, and even quadruple it and increase our citizen engagement through that remote connection that will become so much more of a quality experience next month. So, excited about that. And also about my town hall, which is going to be on October 20th. It's going to be at the Museum of Natural History on Michigan Avenue, ‸ and it's going to be a little different than we usually do town halls.
but I wanted the opportunity for everyone to see that museum and to be able to go through and look at the exhibits. They've got a couple of additions that they're going to be doing, and we'll be talking about that more as well as all the other assets that are in District 4 that make the whole so much more than the sum of its parts. At that meeting, the theme, really the umbrella of what we'll be talking about, concentrating on at that town hall, is how we have been moving toward becoming more storm prepared. I'm not sure that everyone realizes all the different pieces of work that have been going on for the last two years, whether it be the resiliency plan, the sustainability plan that's going to be concluding in the next month. ‸ We're embarking on a tree inventory, making the most of our natural and green resources, and, of course, our 10-year stormwater master plan, which we'll be talking about more tonight. All of these pieces come together and have a sweet spot that ‸ is driving us toward being more storm prepared and, in fact, being leaders within the Space Coast

They're from Titusville to Galley and all the way down the Banana River, and they're still not identified yet. So working on that, we all need to say a prayer for a little bit of sunshine, a little more sunshine and cooler temperatures. And then, well, the last thing I wanted to talk about was utility customer service. I actually had somebody approach me in the grocery store this week, and, you know, somebody who had a leak, which, you know, commonly happens, a lateral breaks, it was on their side. They had it repaired, but they still had an enormous bill. They went through the city, they filled out the form there, they had the water part reduced significantly, but didn't know, because
that they have to go to Rockledge and fill out a form there in order to get the wastewater, the sewer end of that bill reduced. Well, the average bear of our 80,000 customers, ‸ they probably don't realize that they have to go to yet and fill out yet another form in order to get the entirety of that bill reduced. So I discussed with Matt, and I hope that we can move forward in customer service to look at how we might consolidate that process. It seems to me that we should be able to work with the other municipalities so that there is at least just one process for having the entirety of it reduced. And
for how they waive, we need to negotiate with them. because as you can see, this is really impacting our perception as someone who delivers customer service. And that is really important. That perception, once we lose that, it's big. It's hard to get it back. So anything we can do to increase our ‸ customer service, to increase our ability to assist people, particularly during this difficult time, is important.
where the kids didn't have food and toys. And the moral of the story was that you have to believe in yourself. And I'm making this public presentation because as you and I know, we run into that a lot.

that they're doing on Pine Needle Road. It's been a process. I've gotten phone ‸ calls. Some folks, I guess all of a sudden became experts on doing the roads. ‸ and I said, we're aware that there were some little potholes in the crown that was forming. They're taking care of those, but this is a rebuild. This is not just a resurface job that you generally see. So I've tried to get that out there and just tell them to just be patient. and just remember that for 30-something years, you've been traveling ‸ on what was an eyesore and a nightmare And ‸ what we have there now is for better than we've seen in a number of years. So I'm very grateful ‸ and I think the folks that live there are very grateful for what they're seeing there. Also, I want to, thank the staff for our staff as well as the ‸ U-Haul there in Rockledge for helping unload all the pallets of produce that were being given away at the church.
to say, roughly about 50 pallets of produce, boxes of produce. that we gave out in two days, a week apart. And I'm so grateful for all the folks that were involved ‸ and everyone that played a role because there's a lot of folks out there that are still hurting.
mean, folks are losing their homes. They don't have jobs right now. They were furloughed and thought they would be going back to their jobs and it's just not there. And they don't know where to turn right now.
here and you have all these folks that are suffering right now, there's so much more that we can be doing as a community and others can be doing ‸ as well other than some of the other silliness that's going on.

thankful to the staff. Hopefully they got them already, but I will pass those on if they hadn't gotten those. Also, you know, I know it's election time. Hopefully moving forward after this election, we'll look at our sign ordinance again because ‸ just the signs I see downtown, the way that they're tracking from the village, I think it's it's a mess. I mean, it's one thing to put signs out. It's another thing when you just basically trash ‸ your village with a bunch of campaign signs. And there's a lot of places, you know, I can see them in the residential neighborhoods and other places where they should be, but down here in the village and other places ‸ like that, ‸ it's just, to me, it's just ‸ too much. Hopefully moving forward and after this election, I hope that we look at our process and how we do things when it comes to putting signs out and folks putting sounds out in the city of Cocoa. But with that being said, you know, I'm just, Chief, thank you for the great numbers. I'm glad things are looking better. Thank you. And I'd like to thank you guys for the masks that I took over to the parks because

about the city of Coco being a jewel. Yeah, it is. It's a jewel. But you've got to polish that jewel And you've got to take care of that jewel. And that just hadn't been happening. And, but moving forward, we need to really put some emphasis on our ‸ main fairfares. It's just, it's what people see driving through our city. I've been talking about this for, since I've gotten elected.
And it's just, it shouldn't be. We don't see that in other communities. We shouldn't have to see that here in the city of Coco. And other people shouldn't have to see it. But with that being said, we're going to move on to our consent agenda.

Yes, Mayor and Council members. This agenda item is to approve the final stormwater assessment resolution number 20-196 and the non-avalorem assessment roll for stormwater utility services in fiscal year 2021. Since 1992, the city has done a stormwater fee charging based on a single-family unit rate for ‸ parcels based on different criteria.
with adoption of the non-avalorem assessment roll. So, at June 25th, again, at the budget workshop, council approved the recommendation by the consultants to build in a 90% increase to stormwater rates with the fiscal year 2021 budget. Per ordinance, similar to the fire assessment fee, it's required that council first approve a preliminary assessment resolution which was approved

city council meeting. At tonight's council meeting, there is a public hearing being held in accordance with ordinance and Florida statutes for purposes of adopting a final assessment resolution formally approving the stormwater assessment rates. And the rates
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:45:26–00:45:29 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
in 9% in fiscal year 2021 and 22 and 3% each year thereafter. Those increases will provide for funding for the operations of the stormwater fund in addition to capital projects in the stormwater fund.
And then I wanted to add that the way we collected the stormwater fees prior to the tier system that we have now posed some possible legal issues And that was one of the driving forces ‸ behind that as well. ‸ Some legal challenges possibly.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:46:29–00:46:30 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Yes, so that's our stormwater mitigation credit policy. ‸ We are in the final draft of that. We're hoping to have that either at the next meeting or the first one in October.
So that provides credits for both your commercial, non-residential, as well as residential properties. Commercial, it's a little bit more rigorous for them. They have to go through St. John's for their permits anyway.

It allows us to have more cash available for some of these ‸ projects instead of being entirely grant-dependent, as we've seen with the Fisk and Broadmoor Acres project, from my understanding, has been on the books for a few years now. So this would allow us, if we needed to, if those grants fall through, we have the cash available to fund that. And then even if we do cash fund some of those projects, there are opportunities to go back and recoup some of that money later with grant opportunities since projects usually take a while to complete. also ‸ allows us to get a lot of designs on the shelf to where we're a little bit more competitive with St. John's
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:48:55–00:48:55 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Yeah, we do. There is a lot of catching up. I will say from the water quality aspect, we're doing pretty well. The goal is by 2030 to have 100% reduction. I don't think very many entities in our area are going to meet that. Right now, we're in a third out of about eight within our region, which is pretty good. We've hit a lot of the low-lying stuff and tackled some of our large stormwater facilities. So trying to figure out some of those smaller projects that can give us a big bang as well.

This is the fiscal year 2021 budget presentation. So at this public hearing tonight, I'm going to be requesting two things of Council. One is to adopt a tentative millage rate for fiscal year 2021 and secondly to adopt a tentative budget for fiscal year 2021. And then also we'll be setting a second public hearing to be held at September 23rd this year at 6pm here at the chambers. And just to note, the city does need to have a balanced budget by October 1st
So the first thing tonight is the adoption of the tentative millage rate. And of note, the tentative millage rate can't exceed the millage rate of 5.979 mills that was approved by City Council on July 22nd at their council meeting.

So just to give you a review of where we're at, the first thing we look at is our Avalorum history. As you can see those years in the red where there was a reduction in the percentage of change was still recovering from the Great Recession. In fiscal year 2020, you
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:52:55–00:53:00 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
That was largely due to new construction. And then in 2021, we're set to experience a 6 percent increase in property values. Looking at that graphically, you can see that dip where those negative numbers were going back to 2009. So we're actually right about at the same levels as we were at 2009. So looking at your trim rate options, as I said, you can't go above the 5.97

the lower portion, but definitely not the lowest rates. If you notice Cape Canaveral and West Melbourne have 3.7 and 2.6 as their millage rates and that's because they're getting county services. So at this point in time, I would like to ask if you have any questions, any comments, and then I'll lead you with what I need for you to vote on.

talking about we had 1.7 billion value. So a difference from the 1.1, and I understood from Matt that that was the properties ‸ that I guess we don't tax, right? Is that in line with what other municipalities, is that about right?
It seems like a lot. It depends on what the makeup is of the city and what kind of exceptions that the city has, and also with, so that goes with land use and things like that. So I don't know that there's necessarily a standard of how much of a reduction there is. That's just the composition of the city. So the 1.16 that I showed was actual taxable value that we'll collect revenue from.

The reason I'm more concerned about this these days is because I'm now on, some say fortunately, a fixed income. I've always known as retirement. So, Chief, thank you for your service. We understand we've made some major improvements. Stormwater assessment. I talked about that at the public hearing. I agree we need to do things. I just found out about the mitigation.

budget and discussing the capital projects for the year. So first we're going to look at revenues. And this slide shows you a comparison of the amended budget for this fiscal year 2020 as compared to 2021. You'll notice some large numbers on there that
We are creating some new funds in this next fiscal year. There's different state mandates where we have to do reporting on building permit revenues and numbers of permits issued and things like that. So we created a separate building permit fund. So that's where you see a large change there. And then also through the utility rate study, we developed a water impact fee fund and a renewal and replacement fund. And those two funds, one, we have to do reporting on impact fees in accordance with state statute. And so we segregated those impact fees. So whatever revenue we collect, it's very clear what we collected. And then again, what we spent the money on. And then the renewal and replacement fund is going to track the capital projects for the utility fund. So it gets those large swings from the capital spend that the utility has to do. And what's left in that water and sewer fund is really the operational component of a water and sewer utility system. So you see big changes there. The other big changes, one is the capital projects fund. There at the top, there's a 98.8% increase. That's because we had the waterfront project down here,

And that's not budgeted any longer. Excuse me, because as you can see, that project is complete in this fiscal year. And then ‸ on the bottom, the water and sewer capital project bond fund, all the projects were totally budgeted in fiscal year 20, so there is no spending being budgeted. However, whatever projects are not complete in fiscal year 20 will be re-budgeted through an agenda item coming back to council to carry that money over so that there's adequate budget to finish the projects. Then this is looking at general fund by itself, general funds funding sources. So you can see that the taxes,
and utility service taxes, community service tax, make up 24.4% of the budget. And then charges for services such as water billing services, garbage collection fees, and
from the utility fund. That represents 28% of general fund budget. So the general fund budget is $41,351,033. And then this shows you graphically what the changes were in each one of those categories that was on the other chart. And you can see that other than 2016, when charges for services went up, that was probably when having ‸ something to do with ‸ the other fees. Everything really remains pretty much steady from year to year. So I just wanted to review here in preparation for the budget. As you know,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:09:13–01:09:16 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
exactly what that impact was going to be. And we're still not sure what it is going to be and how long this is going to last as the economy is still not back at full strength right now. So in fiscal year 20, the city manager brought back a budget amendment May 13th. And he did some reductions in the 2020 budget, such as freezing positions of vacant parks and right-of-way coordinator, streets and stormwater manager, HR intern, and a summer youth internship.

And we did have Stantec, ‸ our consultant, look at what's the worst case scenario, ‸ least worst case scenario and average. And they estimated the impact could be as much as $556,000. So we did make a significant decrease in our budget. Then looking at the 2021 budget, looking forward, the state came out with estimates and we compared that to what we had budgeted to the state's estimates.
the impacts. ‸ But we did go ahead and reduce some of the categories because they are dependent on economic activity, such as local option gas tax, local business taxes,
see the revenue for the impact fees is budgeted at $2.2 million. And then the rest of the utility fund has charges for services at $66.5 million. And then other non-revenues such as pulling from fund balance for capital projects is $8.5 million.

And then here looking at revenue trends graphically, you can see the water and sewers going up and down, depending upon whether we're pulling out a fund balance, doing debt issues, things like that.
So looking at the expenses for fiscal year 21 by fund, again, this is similar because we have to have a balanced budget on the revenue side, on the flip side, on the expense side. You'll see the same percentages that I went over on the revenue slide that shows the change from year to year on the
Then this slide is demonstrating the general fund expenditures ‸ by category. So personal services went down by six tenths of a percent, but there is a 3% increase, plus whatever was built into contract negotiations is built into the budget there. Operating increased 8.1% or a million dollars. The capital spending, again, because those capital projects are getting completed, and I'll show you the capital spending in the different areas in a moment, decreased by 7.7%. And then our grants and aids decreased by 24.7% because we got a lot of those projects done with the waterfront where we had a lot of grant funding there.
It depends on which book you look at. Oh, okay. Personal services is all inclusive of your salaries and your benefits. Okay. Okay. So this slide here is showing you the general fund capital budget. As you can see, the capital spending has been reduced significantly. Again, trying to stay within what we're projecting our revenues are going to be. So
department has a small amount of capital spending. Total capital spending for general fund is budgeted at $668,324. Then in the water and sewer fund, looking at that by division. As you can see, there's different categories, infrastructure, machinery and equipment, and IT hardware. There's not a lot of significant spending going on there. The CCRIP project is in full steam right now. So total capital spending in the water and sewer fund itself. So this one represents just the routine things like vehicle replacements and things like that is $891,541. So again, this is segregating the big capital projects from just the routine things that normally
And then in engineering, they do a lot of the design and running the projects. There's $8.2 million budgeted. So the total amount of capital spending in the renewal and replacement fund is $10,284,879. And in stormwater, they have $290,000 in infrastructure and $190,000 in machinery and equipment. So they have a total of $480,000 budgeted for capital at this time. However, we have in the budget built in some contingency because we're waiting to find out on some grant status of $296,724. So we'll have to move that money out of contingency if these grant opportunities don't materialize. So as I said, we needed to do a lot of reductions. And the city manager worked with the departments a lot in trying to contain the spending. So there was a lot of capital spending being deferred.
not sure about the economy, the first thing we do is defer capital spending. So this is a list of things that were deferred. The fire department is in need of a pumper truck for $640,000. Police department needs additional vehicles, even though we did budget for some vehicles that total about $175,000.
the mid, point, and the maximum of the pay grades for general employees or as outlined within each union contract or by way of an MOU with the unions. Some of the unions contracts were already negotiated that established that and some of them, HR has been working with the unions to obtain an MOU. So the classification of pay grade schedule was provided to council with the proposed fiscal year 21 budget books. And this was done because city council at the budget workshop discussed working towards getting a minimum wage of $15 an hour. So this is just moving the minimum up for the pay grade. Also in fiscal year 21, what's included in the budget is a pay study, which hasn't been done since 2014 and implemented in 2015.
above the minimum pay grade that's already established because ‸ wages are higher. And a lot of times HR is having to do small market studies to find out if we're going too low and they're finding out we're going too low and what our state
And so, like I said, the, um, this pay grade schedule hasn't been updated since 2015. So at this point in time, I would like to be able to answer any questions or allow you all to have comments.
and maybe the city manager can explain a little bit because, you know, some people can take this for here the wrong way because I know we had multiple SUVs that came in and that, and you're talking about the pumper truck for the fire department. Uh,
yes, Mr. Mayor, uh, on that list, you see seven unmarked police patrol cars. Uh, we prioritized the, uh, those patrol sworn officers that you see on the street that respond to those 58,000 calls for service.
fleet manager who has a complete evaluation on each vehicle and, uh, can make the determination as to can this last another year? Uh, do we need to substitute this vehicle for another?
And we really wanna focus on keeping that replacement schedule for those sworn officers on a rotation so we never go without. But there's other things that do impact that, such as the plant production of those vehicles. We're

year. We did six last year that ‸ still awaiting those final ones to come in. So, you know, accidents happen with the vehicles And so sometimes their life expectancy is even shorter than what we anticipate. But we're trying to maintain that minimum standard for at least our patroller sworn. You see the Pierce Enforcer pumper truck, that's a request from the fire department. They have one of their older units is in need of replacement. That was ‸ particularly a challenging decision as, you know, working with the fleet manager, they do feel that we can get by another year based on ‸ the repairs that were being made to the current unit. What we do need to consider with that also is the downtime associated with any repairs that would be necessary. And so we take that into account as well.

fleet, the fuel tanks. They did not pass inspection. And so that's something that I don't know that will be done this fiscal year. If you'll see that item at council, it's likely to be next fiscal year. That will be bringing that back for your consideration.

Yeah, that's the actual software management system for our entire fleet. So when a vehicle comes into the shop to be serviced, there's a software system where all the parts inventories track the vehicle condition.
And I know you explained about the unknowns of COVID-19 and you explained that very well. I just wanted folks to know that see this right here. It's not like we're doing without. We're just not changing the equipment out right now because we can still get by ‸ what we have right now in some cases.

And the comment is this code reduction is nothing short of special treatment for a friend of the mayor or board chair in the fact that Alec Greenwood continued to ignore the code liens and violations and was allowed to use his seat on planning and zoning board to have zoning change to permit his violation to not be a violation is a violation of ethics laws in the law.

here, and ‸ I can tell you, ‸ I was a part of the home maintenance plan that came about, and ‸ this is the gravel that we're talking about. That was one of the solutions that was recommended at the time during the home maintenance plan. There was gravel, there was ‸ mulch, and there was also pine needles that someone can use to put down as part of their driveway. And it was
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:29:47–01:29:51 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
different folks that ‸ got in our code enforcement that became members or employees with the city on the code enforcement and some things that ‸ just look, I guess things are looked at differently. But I'm just telling what I know and from my experience and what was told and what was stated in here. During the time when we created this home maintenance plan that was intent back then, I don't think anything's changed verbiage-wise, but here we are.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:30:52–01:30:53 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
any kind of a gain whatsoever, but for very simple circumstances, I was the first to be charged for putting gravel down when I was upgrading this property. It was never enforced before that.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 01:31:14–01:31:20 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
It's, you cannot decipher the difference between commercial and residential. And there were some other later residential units that were charged. And that basically they voted that this should not be enforced any longer. And it came before the council and the city manager at that time, because
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:31:43–01:31:46 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
That's what transpired. Basically, I don't really like to bring it out this way, but I was singled out for this one item. I was given information by the police. I'm sorry, by the building chief that there is no permit required to put gravel down.
been there for years. I've been a license, state license builder, and I've known that this gravel was always a way to keep from just having a dirt driveway, which is what was there. And that is also a good base for when you want to come back later and put concrete on it. And it provides a solution because concrete, of course, is a lot more expensive than the gravel, but it solves the problem about the dirt driveway. Basically, by having this ordinance that really was vague and not clear, and
it basically was sending the wrong message to the city that the city preferred any renovations, leave dirt to your front door. Don't put lime rock or anything else down. The other options for coverage, much more expensive than concrete. They're beautiful, but it's done in very expensive homes. And this is all over the city.

and then some of the older subdivisions that we have in the city. And that's why when we came up with this home maintenance plan, we looked at ways of different things that we can do other than requiring someone to put down a concrete driveway or whatever the case might be because it was very expensive for some of

And then there was also residents that had a single-car garage that was built, you know, back in the early 60s. Didn't have a double-car garage. And now they have a husband and a wife and a kid with a vehicle. They had nowhere to drive. And our ordinance ‸ prevented it from parking on the grass. So what they, in turn, said, well, you can park parallel to your driveway, but you'd have to put gravel, mulch, or pine needles down to represent a driveway. So here we are. There's some stuff that needs to be changed and maybe need to be tweaked in there and need to be looked at. But there's a number of homes still today that have the gravel driveways. I mean, they do. There's a number.

we were told we couldn't park on the dirt. So, we put down gravel for the parking pad. Had to get a permit. No problem. Just had to make sure that that gravel was secured so that it wouldn't, because the house was on a slope, so that the gravel wouldn't wash down into the gutters during a rainstorm. No problem. Six years later, went to replace that gravel because it had worn down over time and was told that gravel was not a possibility. We've had a couple other residents in here who were cited. I'm pretty sure ‸ we had a gentleman in here who was cited for gravel because he was complaining that he had bought a car for his daughter and now he had no place for her to park. Mrs. Bunt, has there been some change in the code over the course of years? Because I'm living in one of those homes, the mayor mentioned, that doesn't have a driveway. And when I called and asked about putting some mulch down, I was told I couldn't do it.
I hope it doesn't change depending on who you talk to because the code is what's written in black and white. So, it says that an approved substance, either asphalt concrete or approved substance, is approved by ‸ either the city engineer or the community development director. So, I've been here since 2005. We've never allowed any kind of pine needles, mulch, millings. And it's the type of gravel that he used.
code enforcement board found him in violation of the city's code. So, that's why the fine was running this long. Once he complied, he was able to come in for lean reduction.
Because even though he installed it ‸ before the driveway apron, it is still two years later was coming out into the street, which was going down the stormwater. So, that's why he was ‸ found in violation.
And there are, yes, there are some other houses that do have rock. It's the type of rock that they use or they were grandfathered in prior to the city's change of the code. Okay.
Okay. I know the one gentleman in District 2 that ‸ I dealt with, ‸ he had put his original gravel down back around 2000, and he was just trying to improve it and make it look better when he was told he was violating the code by doing that. So, I think he did get a letter saying that he was grandfathered in because it had been down so long. And he wasn't adding to it. He was just trying to make it look better than it looked currently. So, I think that's what he got. So, somebody who does have that situation who wants to ‸ make improvements can call your department and possibly get a letter saying their grandfathered in. Correct. Okay. And that
has happened. Also, ‸ I don't have to disagree with Mr. Greenwood, when code enforcement was with community development, we had cited, code enforcement had cited other people for the type of rock ‸ and millings as well. Okay. And mulch, that kind of stuff.
I think we actually cited an industrial building for millings or something. I seem to remember a few years ago to a commercial building, had put millings down without a permit and got cited.
speaking with Public Works is that possibly ‸ having different standards for industrial, commercial properties. Because some of, like, your industrial properties, if you require them to put concrete or asphalt down their driveway, it would be a substantial cost to them. So, depending on whether, sometimes they have secondary driveways, and so we'd have to look at each one depending on whether or not, you know, their primary driveway would probably be asphalt. Because

‸ But Ms. Bunn, I just wanted to add that I was in those public meetings, and I know there was a lot of concern from the residents with reference to, uh,
parallel with their driveways, and they couldn't afford to put in that second driveway. I'm going to bring that documentation in so you can see it, because it was mentioned, and, uh, and it was actually, there was an article as well from our, our, um, community development director and the code enforcement supervisor at the time, And they were allowed to put plastic down and put mulch down on top of that plastic,
Yeah, it was, yeah, we had the code, but there was this, this, this just happened because there were, residents that was in uproar because they were going to have to park in the yard and they didn't want to get cited. ‸ And so the city agreed at that time that they would allow certain things to happen, you know,

you roll it. If it's dry, it's horrible material. So, I think we need to look at this code and make some changes to this. Um, maybe at the next meeting we can review this and within the next two weeks or so to kind of look at, um, what

that grass, but yet they can't afford to, to pour a driveway. So we got to come up with something to accommodate, um people that can't afford, um to pour concrete. So I think we need to review that. And

subdivision. It had a slight incline and they put down loose millings. ‸ And those loose millings were also coming out into the street. ‸ So similar. We do have some with the crush, um millings where they actually heat them up. That's not a problem.
to, but, but I know how to do the work as well. And I'm, you know, fortunate to be able to do that, but there are so many people that cannot afford to do it. And then they're going to get a violation for parking on their grass when they cannot afford. So it's,‸ we can alleviate some of these things that we can change this code. So ‸ I request that we look at it.
