On this today.

We have a I hope you've had an opportunity to look at the minutes to have a motion.

I make a motion.

I'll second it.

All in favor?

Aye.

All right.

That passes.

Ms.

Standridge, Miss Franks, whoever's going to present.

Ms.

Standridge is the star of the day.

I'm so sorry you guys have to hear my voice again.

So at the admin committee last um, the last time that we met, we did a presentation regarding the process that we will be doing to approve any of the consumable hemp product sales and anyone coming forward requesting that licensure.

A couple of things I want to make sure that we are all aware on.

Number one, that we are not licensing these businesses.

The licensing of these businesses comes from the ABC board at the state.

All the city of Tuscaloosa can do is vote to either send them a letter of approval or deny them a letter of approval.

Now you can kind of say that this like de facto does give approval for them issuing the license, but the city is not the one actually issuing that license.

But however, we will not be doing the compliance work.

Um we won't be doing any of the any of the checks on whether or not they are operating appropriately.

All of that licensure work comes from the ABC board.

And this does not make marijuana legal.

Gosh, no.

And if it and I would like to say that if that ever comes on the table, the CFO should not be the one presenting on that is on that issue.

We'll let the public safety directly.

Okay, any questions for Ms.

Standridge or the motion?

I don't have a question.

I'm gonna make a motion.

I am for it, but again, I thought that so I talked to the mayor.

Um I would like to see some barwell rails and some standards from the city side ordinance-wise on you know where these are located to make sure they don't again.

I think there's some places they they just admit, but uh uh I do I am in favor of it, but I am gonna make the motion.

And I agree with everything you said, and I'll second all right.

Uh, we have a motion to second.

All in favor, all right.

It passes.

Um Miss Michael or Miss Herbert.

Are y'all a tandem or how were we staying here?

All right, we're talking about an AMI technician job classification here.

All right, so this first one is creating the AMI um technician job classification.

As you know, we were in the process of converting our meter system to AMI, and so this is creating a position to um actually do the work and and work on those the AMI components that are related to the meter reading.

Uh how far along are we on that converter?

So we are I haven't looked at the numbers this week.

65 pushing 70 percent, somewhere running there.

We should be finished by hopefully by the end of the calendar year, but we're gonna say first quarter of next year.

Are we transferring people more or less into or are training them for new jobs?

Is that what we're doing?

Or yes, these won't be uh new FTEs.

So yes, it'll be yes, they'll they'll when you see these three jobs as we talk about them.

There's a there's a couple different career paths that they can kind of take.

So it gives them a way to be promoted within the meter group.

Okay, I'll make a motion.

Do we have a second?

Second.

All in favor?

Aye.

All right.

Next verse.

So this is the same job classification, but just a senior level of that job.

Um, and so they would have to work the three years that's required by city code and then meet some standard metrics that they have to.

Um, and again, this would not be a new FTE.

Any questions?

I have a motion to second.

All in favor?

I thank you.

You're you're still up.

All right.

This next one, so this is for a water technician senior.

We currently have a water technician.

Um, and so this is just creating that senior classification for that.

And when I talked about the two different paths that a meter reader can go, so this would create them to be able to go to the water service technician side, which is a lot of interacting with the customers.

It's uh it's uh kind of a marriage between the field and the account side of things, and so this allows for them to have a senior job classification for that.

Will this be in UFT?

No, sir.

Okay.

Motion second.

All in favor?

Aye.

All right, that passes.

Thank you.

Mr.

Tiner, I believe we're to you.

Yes, that we just handed out, and I'm gonna make it bear in mind that this is just a draft of uh possible committee reassignments in some cases.

I really want to thank um because you know we I posted and Joe posted it to everybody twice.

Uh emailed it to everybody twice.

I didn't hear back from anybody.

Um so um if you look over the draft he's uh presenting, and um I won't really thank Joe Eaton council councilman Eatman because he he just like Mr.

Bell did a year ago.

Uh Joe put a lot of work into this too and vote with everyone, but again um I you can look over it and see if you want to pass it today, or if anybody has any not happy with something, let's know and because this is a vote of the council.

Uh but um again emails were sent out to everybody twice, and I never heard anything back from anybody.

So any questions or comments?

Um I just need to be added as an alternate somewhere, but other than that, I didn't remind because I I was um I got a message.

Oh, did you I can't remember okay?

Yeah, I think we've got uh Mr.

Eatman down as an alternate twice.

No, we got a lead down as alternate twice.

I'm down with alternate.

Oh three times Mr.

Eatman's an alternate three times which one you want, really.

Can I ask or can we answer?

I want you to know I thought about it.

Yeah, yeah.

Could we take a one week to do some fine-tuning on this?

That's fine with these.

Well, we're gonna have to change these alternates, see the way we do it.

We'll have to change it.

If nothing else we have to change, it would change the odds.

I just want to be able to get Richard able to vote as soon as he can.

Uh, but can we look you want to look at it again in a week?

In a week.

So the next regularly.

We're gonna look at it before.

Oh, we can't regularly say that.

All right, I'd rather have him vote and then hold it up to make sure.

So we can we can make the alternate changes at some time.

We can make it now.

Yeah, we can do it now.

Okay, um, present the new slate.

Who's got a who's got a suggestion?

Okay, we can then we can present the new slate.

Richard is not, yeah, Richard is.

Whatever comes out today would go on council next week.

Okay, can we I mean can we double it up so Richard can vote next week?

Whatever y'all if y'all go through this and just tell us what to change, that will be what this committee votes on, and that will be what appears before council next week.

Let's double it up again again.

Like I said, um I I just so I mean I I've only reason I've said this about you know again, and I I totally understand Lee, but um, because you had the gauntlet and all that going last week, but we did send it out twice asking for feedback and nobody nobody responded.

Absolutely.

Uh anyway, I I kind of just took there's there's I see we can make individual changes later on.

Yes, we can.

So I because that was gonna require some of us talking to each other, going, hey, are you willing to swap this with that for me?

Okay, okay.

Do this as it is.

So let's give Mr.

Henry vote.

And then we can make independent one week and then we'll double it up.

We're gonna have to make as I look at this, and I apologize I didn't look at it as close as I should have.

We're gonna have to make three or four changes.

So do we have to make those changes today?

The alternate changes now.

Again, I think some of the ones I'm thinking about probably gonna require some of us to sit down and talk to you.

He could vote them next week anyway, so that'll double it up.

Probably gonna have to change a committee at some point here because of these all.

Yeah, because I'm not an alternate.

Rounds on the ground now.

If we're gonna make changes, we gotta make them now.

Yes, if we're if we're gonna make changes in a month, then we don't have to do it now.

But admin doesn't meet again, so we've whatever we want to get approved in the next couple weeks, it's got to come out of this meeting today.

I say do it, you want to do it now.

Yeah, well, I'm just okay.

Um, I'm just saying if there's easy ones if there's complicated ones, we've got to be able to do that.

From the committee, uh y'all, y'all Kip, Joe, y'all have a suggestion.

We've got a week.

I mean, I'd be on a bit.

We can put it on another, can't we?

We can put it on or we can put it on it on.

We could put it on projects or any other.

It doesn't have to be on admin.

But then the problem with the the only problem with that, Mr.

Tyner is we can't double it up because we won't know what it needs to say until after it comes out of that committee.

So we we have to be able to know what resolution needs to go on council for next Tuesday by this Friday.

Does that make sense?

Mr.

Holmes is if Mr.

Tiner worked on it real hard and sent you something the first of the week.

Could we double it up then?

If Mr.

Tyner sends me what he wants in the resolution and request as a council member for that resolution to go straight on council without going to committee, then I will place it on straight on council for next week.

Okay.

Why don't you do that?

Mr.

Tyner.

My recommendation will be adopt what we got.

There's tweaks we can make as we go along.

I mean, I'm talking about if we're gonna work, I think.

You know, who's alternate on this and that?

I'm not agreeing.

I'm not talking about let's uh let's make a motion.

I'll make a motion to adopt this, and then uh so I'm I'm I'm afraid I just by comment.

When we change some of these alternates, we may have to change a committee somehow.

I mean, I don't know.

I I'm just looking at this.

I don't know how that's working on two and over here.

I mean, that's what I was gonna say.

I mean, I don't know.

If it's just the alternates, I think we would think we can we can that's all it is.

It can't just be the alternates because once you change the alternates, then some somebody is gonna have to change on a committee.

That's Mr.

Eatman.

You're not a member on any of the things.

You're not as a member on any of the committees.

You have to be a member, a chair, and a vice chair of everybody has to be, and then everybody has to be altered.

So we can we pass this as it is, and I can get the letter.

Let me make no you don't want to do that.

But isn't it back to one member on the my only my only concern with that is that puts us potentially we've gotten two instructions.

We've got an instruction from this committee to put this on an agenda, and then we will have a a separate resolution that will be the changes.

Now that that would be fine, but you'll have two resolutions to pass, and you'll have to pass you'll have to vote one up and vote one down, which is certainly we we could do this.

Is this all council's discretion as to who but we could do that?

Yes, okay.

I don't want to be member.

I I have a I mean I just won't fix it.

I'll take the I'll take the I'll just take litigation and and I don't I don't want to be on any of them after well I think you're gonna have to um I was thinking if we swapped on properties Joe and Kip there, okay, but we still get Miss Howard on a we gotta get Ms.

Howard she could she could be the alternate on litigation.

Cassius could be the alternate on community development.

No, is your chair?

I can't do the alternate on committee development.

Well, if Kip could go, I don't know.

It's gonna take some work, guys.

We can't I don't think we're gonna be able to do it today.

Those two things get you halfway there.

Yeah, I don't think you put me also ahead, Ms.

Howard.

Well, you also honestly meet this the first time, but is this our first time doing this twice in one term?

And this is just like it it takes it takes more than just this one conversation to get it right.

Yeah, Joe, do you want I mean I'll I'll go alternate on properties if you want to join properties?

Yeah, we can do that.

And I mean cashes could be alternate litigation.

Yeah, that's fine.

Cassius alternate on litigation.

Okay, wait, okay.

Kip is alternate on properties.

And Raven, do you want to be an alternate ones?

I'm gonna be alternate on admins and Joe's gonna be in MEPA.

That I think that'll do it, guys.

Yeah, and Raven, you want to be an alternate on Atman?

Oh it don't matter.

I mean, what the I mean, I think that'll do that man uh and you and Lee can talk about Atman.

Lee is that cool.

I think that will do it.

Did you get that, Mr.

Holmes?

I think so.

Would y'all like me to just read back what I have real fast?

Yes, that'll be on the first on projects.

I have Mr.

Eatman is the chair, Mr.

Lanier is vice chair, Mr.

Henry is a member, and Mr.

Busby as the alternate.

Right.

On admin, I have Mr.

Fail as the chair, Mr.

Eatman is the vice chair, Mr.

Tyner is the member, and Miss Howard is the alternate.

Yes.

On properties, I have uh Mr.

Henry is the chair, Ms.

Howard is the vice chair, Mr.

Eatman is the member, and Mr.

Tyner as the alternate.

On finance, public safety, and community development.

I have them as written here on the draft.

And on uh litigation insurance, I have Mr.

Tyner as the chair, Mr.

Busby is the vice chair, Mr.

Fail is the member, and Mr.

Lanier is the alternate.

And that gets the prize.

That gets do we have a motion for that?

Motion second.

Okay, yeah.

All in favor?

Aye.

All in favor?

I aye.

Okay.

That passed, Mr.

Holmes.

Thank you.

All right.

Anything else that y'all would like to get bring up in 30 seconds because we have a another committee.
