You request the clerk receive docket and read a special action prepare too late to be on today's document.

All right, it's good.

Clerk receive the resolution, assign a number and read the title.

Yes, sir.

That number is going to be 250928.

Recognizing Dunbourne neighborhood on his 110th anniversary for his historic and cultural legacy.

All right, we will.

So come on.

This item recognizes the Dunbar neighborhood on its 110th anniversary for its historic and cultural legacy.

Founded in 1915 and located in Kansas City's urban core, Dunbar neighborhood stands as one of the city's oldest historically black communities, rooted in cultural pride, resilience, and environmental beauty.

It was named in honor of poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar.

The neighborhood then became home to families during the Great Migration, who brought traditions of self-sufficiency and community, earning the area the nickname the Garden of Eden for its gardens, orchards, and shared harvests.

Liberty Park opened in 1922 as one of the few African American amusement parks during the era of segregation.

It hosted early Emancipation Day and Juneteenth celebrations and drew thousands for concerts and community gatherings.

The neighborhood also features schools like Gilbert Memorial AME Church, Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church, and of course Dunbar School, with which many of us know.

And the neighborhood has fostered generations of leaders in our community and beyond, including our former councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Alvin Brooks, Senator Yvonne Starks Wilson, Dr.

Samuel Rogers, Dr.

Middleton Lambright, Arthur Arthur Marshall, musician, Bloodstones Charles McCormick, actor Don Cheadle, and civic leader Mamie Hughes.

Dunbar's history also includes entrepreneurs like Sarah Rector, whose success exemplified Black prosperity and community pride.

Situated within the Blue River Rotterdam, Dunbar's natural landscapes have long supported recreation, sustenance, and deep ecological connection among residents.

And for that and many other reasons, we are proud to recognize the Dunbar neighborhood for all that they've done over the past 110 years and all they'll continue to do in East Kansas City.

Are there others who wish to speak to the resolution?

Hearing aye, Councilwoman Pack.

No, okay.

Hearing none of the resolution now before council.

All in favor and saying aye.

Aye.

Opposed.

Resolution is adopted.

Whoever likes it.

Good afternoon, everyone.

My name is Catherine Persley, and I am proud to say that my neighbor my family has been in the Dunbar neighborhood for more than 66 years.

However, there are some other families that have been there for a hundred.

And I think one of the things that that does tells the story about the legacy and a way of life that people want to continue.

We also are ready to celebrate our resilience by rebuilding some of our neighborhood that has not been had any investment in a long time.

And we're just grateful for all the people who support the Dunbar neighborhood, the heart of the city neighborhood association that's working in the Dunbar neighborhood.

And we look forward to all the good things that will be happening with development and working with the Museum of Kansas City.

And we want to say special thank you to the Center for Neighborhoods for helping us with all the work that we've been able to accomplish over the last seven years.

And we know that things are only going to get better, and we just appreciate the work that the council has done to support us.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for being here.

Honorable Mayor, this is our annual adoption of the citywide business plan.

Um we were going to have a presentation on uh in our business session, but I know that you all have each had an opportunity to met with meet with the finance department.

Um you have um a list of changes proposed changes to the citywide business plan.

The attempt and we have had a series of um discussions in finance committee that addresses an update to our objectives that really were an attempt to put these in more plain and uh precise language so as to inform and instruct as um staff department directors as they proceed with the strategies that will then inform our budget as we move forward.

So with that um in mind, uh finance governance and public safety uh reviewed um and would recommend advance and do pass.

Neighborhood committee recommends you pass.

Yeah, for Tim.

I have a point of order.

Yes.

25077 was held for a week.

One week, yes.

One week.

I didn't catch, I didn't it was so quickly.

I didn't get a chance to hear why we're holding it another week.

Just a request from the floor, the request as an objection and a request from the sponsor or request from someone else.

It's a request from someone else.

Okay, who requested it?

So I think there's a potential amendment, but I think the amendment presents sufficient change that uh there is some desire for further understanding on what the amendment is.

I'm just saying that because the folks are here that I know are we're interested in that item, and I don't know if they caught that it got held a week.

So as you sit here and wait, it was held a week.

So there you go.

Go ahead.

I mean, I I is it too late to I I mean, I think there would be some interest in maybe even returning it back to committee because of the the changes, and I don't know if it's too late to do that.

Yeah, I think as we want to hear it, let's say we're talking about 250797.

We'll bring that back up again.

The request now is to re-refer the item to committee.

Is there any objection to a re-referral?

You know, um I really don't know because I'm not the I'm not the sponsor of the item.

I just know that there's some interest in passing the item today, and so I was interested in a bit in a debate to figure out why we wouldn't do that.

If you feel it's more appropriate, if if the body feels it's more appropriate to do that data that that debate in committee, you know, that's fine with me, but I've gotten phone calls that this particular item is ready to go and that necessary community engagement can happen over the course of the fulfillment of the resolution.

And so that's that's where we are.

Do we debate this now and pass it, or do it does it need to be debated with community engagement in committee?

I think that's the question, and I don't know because I'm not the sponsor.

I'm just trying to be as a music supporter trying to be helpful.

Yeah, all I know, and I did speak to the sponsor before, and I won't pretend to speak for her.

I do understand that there is a potential amendment that does seem to um have substantial changes.

I haven't read them either to know if they're good, they're whatever, and so that's the you know um one question I think that exists.

But I mean, if if you feel it's ripe for better resolution at a body that can discuss, that's great.

If not and I I mean we can pass the the amendment out.

Um I spoke with a sponsor as well.

Um I didn't understand that the has my name on it.

I didn't understand that the it was going to be that I that substantial, and so I wanted to look over it a little bit more because you know that's I you know as a co-sponsor may I oh as a co-sponsor do you feel like it should go back to committee because I support you in that?

Oh no, uh I I am not let me just be clear.

I am not involved in this at all.

I just want that to be clear.

Um the only reason is the um is Councilwoman Robinson called me and said that um there had been a meeting, and she asked if I would be willing to because we talked about how to get this moving forward, and I said that um I suggested a way to amend this ordinance so that we could move forward, and that would be to just accept the report and then possibly have you know a report back on you know what had occurred.

This particular umendment had like a list of additional changes to the to the report.

That is something that I hadn't seen.

I I know she emailed it this morning, but I or last night or sometime, I hadn't seen it until I walked in here and I showed the mayor.

So that's that's the only reason I was trying to see all I would like is for this situation that has gone a little bit out of control to find a way to move forward.

And the suggestion that I had made is said, you know, there's there's some language in here, let's just accept the report as it is and move forward.

And that was the point.

The what I think she had been working on, and I had asked when I talked to and agreed to introduce the committee sub was I asked for that to be sent to me.

I didn't get it and have an opportunity to review it until till right now.

Okay.

So I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not in the middle of this.

Nor am I, clearly.

I'm just trying to get clarity all right.

Councilman Duncan.

I I met with the sponsor on Monday, who also informed me about the meeting and said that the sponsor supported this committee sub or this amendment that it was the result of conversations between a number of parties.

I don't doubt that, but why don't we just do this the simplest way and go with our original plan of just holding it here?

So it's in a good place for further, and then the sponsor will be back to defend the parts of the amendment she likes the rest of us who passed it out of committee as a different form, we'll get some chance, but that's probably the easiest.

Councilman Curls.

Thank you.

Uh it you so is there amendment or committee sub because I haven't seen it, or has anybody seen it?

So it hasn't been circulated.

It hasn't been circulated.

Correct.

So it's the potential sponsor.

I I think it's just a structural problem.

So this the potential sponsor for the amendment didn't quite get to see everything that was in the amendment.

So I think she's suggesting that perhaps she's not as comfortable with the amendment.

The ordinance is original sponsor, of course, isn't here.

And so the idea is all of us who probably haven't actually seen the amendment would get the chance to see it.

We talk about it next week and we can't remove.

Thank you.

Thank you, Alex.

I think we all have a little bit more clarity on what's going on.

Thank you.

We'll go back to the next item.

This will be held for one week.

Well, so the item we were on six six.

Perfect.

So public engagement.

Mayor Protect.

All right.

Uh thank you, Honorable Mayor.

So this uh 250906 is a resolution that adopts the uh International Association for Public Participation Standards as the city's guiding principles for public engagement.

Uh you all may recall that we this body previously uh passed resolution 230126 and 230998, which uh directed the staff to hold uh comprehensive community engagement sessions with key stakeholders and residents in regards to how we could improve our public engagement processes and ultimately this plan is the recommendation that came out of all of that engagement and the uh the staff staff's review of best practices and this is a resolution and not an ordinance because there are other uh in order for us to adopt all of there's some code changes that may need to apply that will need to to up that we may need to adopt and so rather than try to push all of that through uh the recommendation from staff in law was that we do yet another another resolution adopting this as the plan and then they will come forward with the individual um items that need to be uh codified separately.

So the neighborhood planning development committee review recommended do pass.

Thank you, Mayor Pro Tim.

Excuse me.

I'm the charter requirement for reading of ordinances on three separate days.

Uh be way for the ordinances on today's document listed as first readings, and that these ordinances we introduced as listed to the committee so designated.

Hearing none, the clerk will call it up with the roll.

I haven't I.

Ordinance passes.

Let's do our floor introduction.

We'll do Raya's same day.

Let's actually do that first.

Um go ahead, Councilman Ray.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Uh, I request that the clerk receive document read a resolution prepared too late to be on today's docket.

The clerk will receive the resolution, assign a number and read the title.

Yes, sir.

That number is going to be 250929.

Directing city manager review best practices in pure cities related to potholes, evaluate policies in Kansas City and make recommendations for poly policy improvements within 60 days.

Councilman Raya.

Mr.

Mayor for the immediate adoption of this resolution.

Sorry.

It's been moved and seconded.

Is there discussion on the resolution, Councilman Ray?

Yes.

Uh Mr.

Mayor, so I originally had this uh for first reading last week, and it was uh signed to Transportation Committee this week.

That committee was canceled Tuesday morning, and the resolution was then transferred to the neighborhoods committee.

Neighborhoods committee lost a quorum before it was able to take up this item along with a few others.

And uh so although yes last week I could have just introduced it from the floor and asked for immediate adoption.

Um I wanted it to go through committee for some conversation, but at this point I might as well just ask for it to be voted on today.

Essentially, what this will do is um direct the city manager to create uh or research and recommend policies around how to do a proactive maintenance of potholes.

Right now, our system is entirely responsive to 311 complaints as they come in, and by that time someone's already ordinarily hit the pothole and it's resulted in a busted rim, and the resident is upset.

Um we fill about 50,000 potholes a year, which is a high number.

Our crews work very hard.

Um, and I'm hoping this will be a conversation we have during the budget season.

But for now, uh I would like to hear from staff what their recommendations are on how we do a more proactive approach rather than waiting for complaints as they come in.

I believe some of these conversations are already happening and there's some exploration into different technologies, uh, or if it is a staffing function.

I don't have an opinion on that.

I would just like to hear what our ideas are on how we do this more proactively, uh, especially considering that we should be looking for fewer and fewer potholes every year as we do more and more street resurfacings.

I just have a quick question.

Didn't we don't we have some technology that's on the front of our like dump trucks or trash trucks, not in dump trucks, but trash truck trucks that are supposed to be like evaluating our streets right now?

I I can give my answer, but the city manager will probably have a better answer.

Yeah, I think I'm um we have been exploring ways of uh mounting some equipment on uh cameras and our trash trucks and maybe even snow plows on the road, but I mean uh just so that we can get an assessment of what's going on.

We have nothing formally, but I think this directive uh allows us to look more formally at those technologies.

I might just I mean you can already do that though, right?

We gave you an appropriation in last year's budget to address this area.

If if staff why why can't you um adopt such an approach?

I don't believe we've gone through a property procurement on on this subject, and and um we'll investigate exactly where we are um with that appropriation from last year.

Um I think um this reinforces maybe the desire of the council on uh how you know how we want to take this up, but uh maybe that's a question for Councilman Ray as well, since um the appropriation was provided in the budget.

I should take it committee.

I mean, there's just part of uh in some ways we don't have to actually wait the 60 days.

It would seem like with a hearing at committee, you get public works to come testify and say this is how we do potholes now.

Maybe they're I mean I aren't they entirely reactive is an answer.

I just don't know.

Um maybe you do, I don't know, but or do they have some approach like at the beginning of the year we just wait for 311 complaints?

That's correct.

I can answer that question.

I know it's because I did it right along with him a couple weeks ago.

The only way to report a pothole for repair is if it comes through the 311 action center.

Um and so uh we are only responding to complaints as they can't come in.

We are not looking at city streets, we are not driving around, we're not reporting them from staff, there's no other way they are coming in, it's only through the action center.

Yeah, I um I I don't want to uh Christmas tree this particular resolution, but I think this this approach needs to be applied to to more things like street lights and sidewalk panels and uh things like that where we have a more proactive approach.

I know the city of Seattle went away from uh reactive approach years ago, and I found out that not only are they better at uh replacing street lights, I think was a particular case that that they save money by just having a routine replacement proje process.

So um it seems like potholes would be a really uh a great way, and if we have technology that can get on trash trucks, it seems like a great opportunity.

So uh anyway, I I I think we should explore more what more of our programs to to do this type of thing with, and this like seems like a good place to start piloting it.

Mayor Pro Too.

Thank you, Honorable Mayor.

Um, I do know there is technology uh that uh public works has been exploring that will allow for this proactive measure.

Um and so I think uh definitely it's important if if the city manager or staff needs um uh additional uh uh acknowledgement from the city council to say that we want this proactive approach.

I I think that makes sense to do that.

Um I do think uh so hopefully there's no delay in any potential um expansion of services because I know that we currently have this um on our trash trucks now, and so if introducing this today and us passing this today will allow the city manager to go ahead and move forward with renewing or extending an existing contract to allow for that, then I think we should go ahead and do that.

But councilman Bunch does make an excellent point in terms of maybe potentially looking to expand that.

So I I would at some point like um a discussion either to occur maybe in T I know might be appropriate or in a business session so that we can talk about um other proactive measures rather than uh just not having a discussion about it because I think there's there's opportunity for us to continue to improve our best practices.

All right.

Is there any further discussion on the uh motion?

I would encourage those staff.

I think the way we really like to do it, if you're about to explore a technology, I think you're able to explore it, bring to us an ordinance to the extent you need it if you need to procure the items, and then we just go through that normal path um without necessarily the necessary legislative recommendation in the the two months within which I imagine if it's already ripe, you're almost ready to decide if you're gonna do it or not.

Uh Mr.

Mayor, I think we need to acknowledge the the genesis of the uh of this a resolution in front of you.

The councilman introduced it last week.

He was hoping for a hearing, he didn't get the hearing.

Now he wants it immediate adoption, so we don't have to delay any further.

I I'm indifferent as to whether uh we want to adopt this or not, but um I would well I'll definitely work in the welcome the direction of the council in any form.

And so if we can do this, we can have this.

Yeah, only point I'm making is if you're ready to get a technology, you just get the technology, right?

And then you bring an ordinance for the cost of whatever it would be, Councilwoman French.

So um I'm hearing that we have some technology and some contracts that's up in place for having the cameras on the trash truck, so we've heard that in TIO before as well, but I think as part of the part is a part of this is also to review best practices of peer cities as well.

So I know we have that IDN technology, but then what are other peer cities doing uh as well?

So I'd like to hear that information.

Right.

Um, this is our request, we'll respond to it when you know when give we're giving us time, right, to respond to this.

I don't know that we want to have a response answer today.

So we'll we'll provide a response to you within the time allotted.

So Mr.

Mayor couldn't I the whole purpose of this is to defer to staff on what the best approach is here.

I know we've been looking on at this technology.

I don't know, you know, we're exploring that, that's great.

Uh it doesn't have to be the only approach, but I I think the the goal here is to defer to staff on what the best proactive way is.

And if we're already halfway there by exploring some technology, great, let's get the other half of the way there.

If not, I'll defer to staff on on what the best way to do that is.

All I know is that it's not a great system to have right now, that the only way we respond to these things is when they're reported in the form of a complaint by an angry citizen.

Councilman Duncan uh Bunch, I'm sorry.

Um the Yeah, I mean that point exactly that if the if the if if we're relying entirely on 311 to fill potholes, we're asking people to either remember exactly where the pothole was, uh, or we're asking them to get out their phone or uh to call through on one or use the app while driving, which is something we certainly don't want to be encouraging.

So um if there's an automatic collection uh of some sort, but the data collection side of this with the technology on trucks is just part of the part of the equation.

Uh we still need the policy and the strategy and the process for what do we do with that data once it is so do we fill the biggest ones first?

Do we fill the littlest ones first?

Do we focus on one street and get that street uh completely free of potholes?

Um I think that that's what the difference between this and the technology.

Um so technology and data collection is one part, need the policy to fill in the rest, not and literally fill in the potholes.

Councilman, uh KCK, I believe, in their pot roll pothole response and maintenance repair program is down to one man crews or one one employee crews.

I don't know much more about it other than that.

Sounds efficient.

All I'm saying is let's see if there's a more efficient way to do it.

Let's hear what staff can come back with.

Councilwoman Patterson has it.

I tried to do a little re thank you, Honorable Mayor I try to do a little research on this in their work.

There's a there's two or three resolutions in the last five years related to potholes.

So I guess my question to the manager is what's the issue in terms of repeated resolutions as relates to pot house and um then councilman Lucas, I think you were on counsel with Councilman Scott Taylor, who instituted a 24-hour pot hole field rule.

So I remember that being a thing, like uh you report a pothole, you got 24 hours to get it filled.

So where'd that go?

Um and why do we need repeated action?

Right.

Repeated formal action about potholes when you have everything you need in terms of council action from my perspective.

So I'm just wondering what's what's the issue here.

Manager, that's what I think.

I think so.

No, just to be candid with you, uh this kind of directive is probably gonna cause me to look back at all the resolutions and actions that we have adopted, and that's how we start a review, you know, what's in the books, what are we doing today?

Uh then we'll look at specific directive here, which is you know, what technology do we have?

Not only that, but then to the point to Councilman Bunch's point, you know, once we have the data, you know, how do we use it?

You know, how does that how does that inform uh our policy?

So um I I can't can give you an answer as to what has happened to the resolutions from the 2015, 2016, but um we'll uh you can be assured that we'll take out everything that we had done in the in the ramble pothole um and then we'll figure out how those things fit into this in into the availability of new technology for not only identifying but also deploying proofs and and and addressing the problems more efficiently.

I don't want to be too difficult.

I mean, was staff prepared to present on this on Tuesday?

Because it would seem as if the questions of councilwoman's asking other sorts of things that either the the director of public works or uh deputy would have answered in some ways speaks to the rationale for committee so that we could just get kind of the efficacy of prior resolutions to Councilwoman Boo's point.

The truck that I hear does have cameras on it, but maybe they don't.

What they're doing right now with those cameras, mind you, it may just be responding to whatever happens, but so I guess maybe to make sure I give you a question you can answer.

Staff was prepared to present or to speak to this on Tuesday, right?

Well, I I think we're jumping the gun to begin with you.

I mean, you're asking us to you're asking a question.

Uh you're providing 60 days uh to come up for us to come up with the answer.

Uh but then you want the answer today or next Tuesday.

Um why don't we just stick with the directive and provide us the time to give you a response?

Um because otherwise um we're gonna have business session on this item today, and it would have invited Director of Public Works today to tell you what we're doing and what we're not doing.

So I'm I'm I'm I'm not trying to be uh confrontational here, but um I'm I'm taking this as homework.

So I'm I'm I'm not trying to be uh confrontational here, but um I'm I'm taking this as homework, you know, go do homework and come back in 60 days.

Um I'm not taking I feel like I'm um what I'm hearing is saying give us the answers right now because what about the 60 days?

That's my point.

I hear you.

I might see it a little differently.

I think I think the councilwoman's question and the councilwoman's question.

So question one from Councilwoman Boo was do we have these trucks now?

Which could be a yes or no that someone would know.

And then it would be what do those trucks do now, which would be a this truck does this or that.

Could be the public works director or anybody like that.

I think Councilman Patterson Hasley's question just was all right, there have been policy.

Someone works with potholes at the city, and so someone without needing 60 days does know that yeah, either we just respond to them when we get a 311 call, or they have some plan or they have some appropriation.

You know, not I'm also not trying to be compatible.

I just that's those are the sorts of things that I would think that you know it'd be like if any one of us were to ask how do we fix a sidewalk in the city and somebody says there's sidewalk budget, you fill it out.

But I hear you.

Maybe it's just me.

We can provide information.

Um maybe want to change it 60 days to 10 days.

I mean, there's the pace that we want.

I mean, um that's my point.

You know, my point is you tell me ask me a quick from the floor today.

Give me an answer right now.

Is it we serious?

Um what's the amount of time that you want to allow for me to do this work?

Ten days.

Yeah, okay.

Councilman Patterson has I'm sorry, I'm gonna speak as the sponsor of this resolution.

I'm I'm not accepting that amendment.

I want a thoughtful response on what I'm asking for in my uh resolution.

If there are questions outside of that, I encourage my colleagues to ask those questions part of that process.

You get your answer, you get your information as this goes on.

But I want a thoughtful response and a good policy behind it.

Um, and that's what this is designed for.

Councilman Patterson has it.

Just for clarity's sake, I'm on board with you, uh, Councilman Ray.

My question was just to the continuity of staffing and looking at past directives to do essentially the policy work that you're asking for.

And you know, we're all here a short amount of time, but we know we have staff on board that are here 20 25 years, and so I guess mine is a more broad question.

If staff are getting directives to come up with policies they're supposed to keep living and not have to be done over.

So I just remembered these pothole policy conversations from like two terms ago.

And so it's like, oh, well, why are we starting from scratch again?

Not to say that you're not solving a real problem.

You are.

My question was more to the longevity of policy that any council puts forth, and hopefully three councils into the future is not going back and doing policy over.

That's not not no problem with your resolution.

It's almost like fixing a pothole.

Councilwinn Bunch.

Uh a few years ago, before I was in the council, I read a book that had a chapter about how the city of Chicago actually fixed their pothole problems by being proactive versus a response-based approach.

It was by the former DOT director there, and it was also the DOT director under um under Chicago under um uh Rob Emanuel and pre and DC under uh Adrian Fenty.

Uh but you we're able to fix potholes with much better rapidity by being by being proactive.

And so uh just want to highlight that and that and that all these resolutions that have come before about potholes and all this conversation we've it's we're still at this point of where we're relying on 311, which is not only is it inefficient but it and and a scatter shot approach, but it also benefits the people who have the best communication skills in uh the neighborhoods that are the loudest and have the highest capacity for um for community engagement, and so we know that that's often an inequitable way to distribute resources.

So um uh yeah, I we just to answer your question, I know you didn't want to ask for comments, like we just haven't delivered on on all of those um previous resolutions and and demands that potholes get fixed more uh quickly.

And I and I and I care about this greatly, not just because of potholes, but because again proactive about maintenance of our infrastructure is far better and better more strategic and more efficient and more cost effective than just relying on on um well and it the performance is better at the end, would fill more potholes.

question I know you didn't want to ask for comments like we just haven't delivered on on all of those um previous resolutions and and demands that potholes get fixed more uh quickly and I and I and I care about this greatly not just because of potholes but because again proactive about maintenance of our infrastructure is far better better more strategic and more efficient and more cost effective than just relying on on um well and the performance is better at the end we fill more potholes um and so just want to make sure that that's clear and you know we just haven't haven't gotten there yet and I'm not quite sure sure why councilman curls uh I I guess we can talk about potholes for eternity right and and I know potholes is very important to everybody I guess my question or my concern would be that if there's already something in the works there's already some things that are already being done and we aren't really privy to that or don't know that then I would think that it would be important for us to have public works say something to us have a presentation in neighborhoods or wherever that would go to tell us what is already being done instead of the manager going out 60 days and then coming back and finding out well we're already doing that we're already doing it so that's a waste of time to me when we could have the public works department or a director tell us well we're already doing this and if something else needs to take place then we can look at what the that is at that particular time.

Thank you Mr.

Mayor uh we are not doing a proactive approach and I don't know that we need a council session to tell us that I think the city manager confirm it we don't have a proactive policy and that's the purpose of this thank you I I um would just say that um in our first term we there were several uh pieces there were several resolutions and piece of legislation that was introduced that is where the asset management program came from that's where the OCI scores came from that is uh part of a proactive measure uh because they are sending uh staff or or contractors around to actually measure to see the aging infrastructure um to determine uh and that's how they put together our plan of how we select the streets that we resurfaced and as uh you all know we've put um uh double the amount of dollars we put in to resurface our streets so I do think we have some proactive measures but do we need to improve yes uh but I think just given the uh the line of questioning and confusion that we have on this floor I I think it warrants having the hearing the session uh it either in my committee or in TIO somewhere to allow for staff to talk about the uh proactive measures and how they are actually working with um the company that is doing the um the uh program with the trash trucks how they've actually already start started having the discussions to move them to this so to um our streets service so ultimately I think uh my recommendation would be that that unless there's a tight timeline that we need to to have if we have the discussion in committee in a committee on Tuesday to so that we all can be educated on what is and isn't happening and if there's any potential uh additions that need to be added to the resolution like what councilman bunch has already indicated then uh that amendment can come through at the committee level when uh the council members are more educated on on the issues thank you so further discussion on the motion mr.

mayor if I may I think just to be clear on Tuesday if we have a hearing what you're gonna hear from staff is what are the existing policies and what do we do today what you're not gonna get on Tuesday is what the councilman is asking for we use technology to be more proactive on um uh on on addressing potholes that is why the councilman has allotted some time to for us to do that work and to figure out what policy recommendations we need to make so I just want to make sure you know that there I'm I'm setting the expectation we'll tell you what we do today on Tuesday.

But I think the resolution in front of you is asking how can we be proactive and we're not gonna have that on Tuesday because we need a little bit of time to figure that out last question last comment.

I'll just say globally that's pretty discouraging that we need a resolution to figure out how to find new technology to do a better job.

I've done I've done resolutions that direct staff to do X, Y, and Z, and I don't think it's a healthy way to run an organization that we're getting.

So if you know that we need to look at new technology for pot housing, we should just be able to do that without without a without a council action.

And that's just us as council people to think about you know how we're managing our organization, and if we have to keep giving our directives, like I think I talked about in my first year of we know this is a problem, like everybody knows it.

We're all professionals, we're all smart, we know it's a problem, but we need a resolution in order to do it.

I I don't know before it felt like a way to not do it.

I need a resolution, I need out of counsel to tell me to do it before I'll do it, even though we know it needs to be done.

So I just think that's a larger conversation about how the organization is operating.

That's all.

Thank you.

Councilman Ray.

Councilman Willett.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

We spent more minutes than words that are on this actual resolution.

Um, and since we want to talk about innovative approaches, I come up with a simple solution here.

Uh, there's a trillion potholes in our city.

There's also a trillion stars, but you can actually name a star after an individual for $50.

If we want to be proactive, you can name a pothole after a friend or someone you don't like and get spilled for $50.

It would provide us much needed revenue and be proactive.

We'll have plenty of people looking for potholes throughout the city.

So move.

So moved.

One with Councilman Willett's name on it.

All right.

Uh is there any further discussion on the uh I guess it's the motion for immediate adoption on the resolution.

Is it up and down vote on the item?

It is an up or down vote on the item itself.

It fails, it goes to committee.

Ah, all right.

Okay.

Um, understanding all those points, I will co-sign with some.

So I'll try to be non-substantive to the point at hand.

I do start to have some concern because you're right.

What I've been taught over the years here of budgeting is we legislate really through the budget, not and our other ordinances, not necessarily a resolution type as a lot.

And as I understand it, we have appropriated funding in pothole areas, street preservation, maintenance, repair.

Um so you know, that's just that.

All right.

I bunch.

I curls.

No parks, no.

No.

Boo.

No.

Okay.

No.

Oh.

Willie.

I French.

Aye.

Rogers.

No.

Patterson has Robinson.

Lucas.

No.

Four eyes, seven nays.

Motion fails.

We'll assign the item to the Transportation and Infrastructure and Operations Committee.

Uh Councilwoman Boo.

I request the clerk receive docket and read an ordinance prepared too late to be on today's docket.

Clerk will receive the number, sign it.

Uh me, receive the ordinance, assign a number and read the title.

Okay, sir.

That number is going to be 250930.

I mean in chapter two code of ordinance administration by enacting a new section 11 to establish the process by which the mayor or any mayor or counsel, the clerk, the auditor, or the city manager may seek reimbursement legal expenses incurred in the process of seeking or enforcing an order of protection.

I'm still preferred to the finance, governance, and public safety committee.

Councilman Willett.

Thank you, Miss.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

I request I request that the clerk receive docket and read a resolution prepared too late to be on the regular docket.

Clerk receive the resolution, sign a number and read the title.

That number is going to be 250931.

Direction City Management by the City Council no later than December 1st, 2025.

Well uh we'll refer it to finance governance and public safety.

But additional requests, Mayor, this is about a business session, a future business session about uh snow preparedness.

I would like to know a little bit more, especially with the routes.

Last time around up in the Northland, making sure we're prepared for that.

Just want to make sure that we get that on record as a request within the next couple weeks.

Got it.

So this is distinct from this one.

You'd like a snow preparation uh business session.

Noted.

All right.

I'll come to you, Duncan for our fun chat, but let's uh we'll do Patterson Hasley real quick first.

I text it.

I'm sorry, you no, I made that up.

We just have documents.

Councilman Duncan.

Yes, Mr.

Mayor, request the clerk receive documentary reading orders for every too late for today's docket.

The clerk receive the ordinance to sign a number and read the title.

That number is gonna be 250932, appropriating 400,000 fund an unappropriate fund filaments of the public safety sales tax fund to fund the design professional services in the community resource center project.

Authorizing manager of human services, 400,000 design professional service contract with multi-studio or the design of community resource centers to designate requisition authority, direct and city manager identify 5.6 million dollars from funds from the public safety sales tax fund or other fund sources for future contract amendments.

Recognize this one is to have a accelerated technical date.

I will plan to refer to the governance finance governance and public safety committee.

I understand that you'd be interested in transportation and infrastructure.

Yes, Mr.

Mayor, as does as as this is just for a design professional contract, and design professional contracts generally are heard by the TI, excuse me, transportation and infrastructure operations committee.

I would request that it's referred to there.

Uh I heard on that most of our detention and rehabilitation adjacent ordinances have been in finance governance and public safety.

I'll look to the public safety part of that.

Uh I'll also note that a prior ordinance, we actually haven't had as many as you would think, but the eighth floor transactions, I believe, came through the finance governance and public safety committee.

That was it was a request from staff.

Uh I hear them.

God bless them, and uh I will disagree with them right now.

Well, this has nothing to do with the operations of the comments.

It's only for the design of professional contracts.

Understood.

I will note not that staff has to tell me these things.

They they didn't quite tell me either, but that's that's fine.

They can continue to try to persuade us on it, though.

All right.

All right.

Is there any further discussion?

Uh Councilman Rand.

Is this before the body?

Or I'm sorry.

This is going to finance governance and public safety.

Any further business to come before committee?

Councilman Rand.

Yeah, Mr.

Mayor.

Uh so I think tomorrow I'm just gonna take matters in my own hands and do my own little pothole patrol.

So if any of you want to join me, come along.

Uh I think we'll have some fun.

Does that mean we start naming them?

As long as you start in the as long as you start in the fifth district, then we might be all right.

There's no further mission before council will stand adjourned.
