HELLO THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY. IT'S WONDERFUL[00:10:07]
TO HAVE YOU HERE IN CHAMBERS. UM THIS IS AS WE SAID, A REAPPOINTMENT, AND I WAS JUST WONDERING WITH YOUR EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND. UM WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT YOU SEE, HELP YOU SUCCEED IN YOUR POSITION ON THE CARDBOARD. SURE. SO I HAVE SERVED IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN MY PAST, AND I THINK THERE ARE VERY FEW OBLIGATIONS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PLAYING AN ACTIVE ROLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY. AND SO I THINK MY TIME AND SERVICE UNDER MAYOR FISHER, HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TRANSIT AGENCY IN OUR ECONOMIC SUCCESS AND IN OUR SOCIAL SUCCESS, AND SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT EXPERIENCE IS HELPFUL AS WE DEBATE VERY LARGE EXPENDITURES. AND VERY COMPLEX DECISIONS ABOUT SERVICE. AND UM , BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO, COUNCILWOMAN, UM WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE BOARD THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO CARRYING THAT TORCH ON IN YOUR NEXT TERM? SURE. SO I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR AWHILE. I'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS COME AND GO, AND WE'VE HAD A PANDEMIC, AND SO, UM, WE HAVE ACTUALLY MOVED FROM SORT OF CRISIS TO CRISIS OVER THE YEARS. I THINK THE ORGANIZATION IS NOW FACING A CHALLENGE ON THE FINANCIAL FRONT. AND ON OUR DYNAMIC NATURE OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND OUR SERVICE NEEDS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. AND SO YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING ON THE FISCAL CLIFF THAT THE AGENCY CURRENTLY FACES THE NEXT FEW YEARS. AND UM, YOU KNOW, ALSO BALANCING SOME OF THE IMPORTANT INITIATIVES COMING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEW SOURCES OF FUNDING. UM AN ENERGY TRANSITION THAT THE AGENCY IS GOING TO HAVE TO UNDERGO AT SOME POINT IN TIME, AND HOW DO WE BALANCE ALL THOSE THINGS? OKAY? I'M SORRY. I'M LOOKING TO SEE WHO IS THEM? NO ONE. OKAY. UM COUNCILMAN CRAMER. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. UM HEY, DAD. WELCOME THANKS. UM I KNOW THIS IS A REAPPOINTMENT FOR YOU. BUT UM, I ALSO KNOW YOU ARE VERY WELL AWARE OF SOME CONCERN ABOUT . TARGET HAS BEEN FUNCTIONING NOT JUST RECENTLY WITH IT. ITS BUDGET PROPOSALS, NOT JUST RECENTLY, WITH ITS CUTTING OUT JUST RECENTLY WITH UM, THE PROBLEM WITH CHARACTERISTIC COULD GO ON IF YOU WANT ME TO, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. UM I WAS HOPING YOU COULD SPEAK TO UM LIKE YOUR VISION OF MORE DYNAMICS BOARD THAT MAY HAVE MORE. MAY HAVE MORE ENTHUSIASTIC APPROACH. TWO. I MEAN, I WANT TO SAY MICE, BUT I'M BOARDS DO MORE THAN JUST ADVICE. SO I'M HOPING YOU COULD SPEAK TO THAT. I'M NOT ASKING YOU, PLEASE. YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF PREVIOUS BOARDS, UM MEMBERS ORDER RESPONSES, BUT. I DIDN'T HOPEFUL THAT YOU CAN SPEAK TO WHAT YOU THINK NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND THE IMPORTANCE OF A DYNAMIC, ENGAGED AND ACTIVE SPORT. YEAH, I MEAN, SO I WOULD SAY THAT, UM THE FIRST STEP IS BOARD ENGAGEMENT. WE HAVE STRUGGLED TO REACH A QUORUM IN THE LAST SIX MEETINGS. UM SO YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FEEL. I FEEL LIKE MY JOB IS DONE WHEN WE GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE HAVE A BOARD THAT FEELS LIKE THEIR VOICES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF MAKING AGENCY MOVE FORWARD, AND I THINK THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT FLAVORS THAT I'VE WITNESSED PERSONALLY. OF WHAT INDIVIDUALS STOP THEIR ROLE WAS AND BOARD SERVICE. FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT YOU'VE LISTED AND MANY MORE. I THINK THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT JUNCTURE FOR THE AGENCY. AND I THINK, UM WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE A BOARD THAT IS PLAYING WITH EACH OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS, AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF NEW FOLKS COMING ON THE BOARD. I'M VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO HELP COMPLEMENT SOME OF THE FOLKS WHO WERE PERHAPS A LITTLE SHY OR MAYBE NOT SURE ABOUT WHAT WAS NEEDED FROM A GOVERNANCE PERSPECTIVE, BUT I MEAN, I COULD JUST HEARKEN BACK TO YOUR COMMENTS FROM THE LAST BUDGET THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE AT THIS POINT, AN AGENCY THAT IS PRETTY ISOLATED FROM THE REST OF THE CITY. AND SO I THINK JOB ONE IS ACTUALLY GETTING IT BACK ON THE TABLE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S GOING ON IN OUR CITY. THANK YOU, AND, UH, I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT WE'RE RE APPOINTING YOU TO AFFORD, RIGHT. UM YOU'VE IDENTIFIED. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS ENGAGEMENT. SO CAN YOU SPEAK[00:15:07]
A LITTLE BIT TO YOUR OWN PARTICIPATION? YEAH, WITH THE BOARD BOTH IN THE PAST, AND I'M REALLY IN THE PAST MATTERS. OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T IGNORE THAT, BUT, UM LIKE LOOKING TOWARDS LIKE, WHAT'S YOUR VIEW OF YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING FOR LORD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PAST, BUT REALLY MORE ABOUT THE FUTURE. YEAH, LOOK, I THINK, UM I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PANDEMIC TIME AS AS A HARD TIME TO, UH, LEARN FROM IN TERMS OF WHAT WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO WITH THIS AGENCY? AND SO NOW THAT WE NOW SEE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A RETURN TO DOWNTOWN? BUT WE HAVE A BUS SYSTEM THAT ONLY GOES DOWNTOWN. YOU KNOW THESE, UH THIS IT'S NOW A LOT CLEARER THAT THE WHAT THE SITUATION IS THAT WE'RE IN, AND I WOULD SAY THAT WASN'T TRUE THREE YEARS AGO OR FOUR YEARS AGO FIVE YEARS AGO, SO I WOULDN'T FAULT ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES OR EVEN MYSELF AND YOU KNOW, TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT WHEN IT WAS FOGGY. I THINK THE FOG HAS LIFTED AND I THINK IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SOME VERY HARD DECISIONS. AS A COMMUNITY AS A CITY GOVERNMENT, BUT AS A COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT THIS AGENCY ABSOLUTELY HAS TO DO WELL, AND THEN WHAT ARE THE OTHER THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO DO? AND SO I REALLY THINK THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THESE OTHER BOARD APPOINTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE OUR OUR LIKE MINDED IN THAT REGARD THAT THEY TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. THIS ISN'T A RUBBER STAMPING ARRANGEMENT. UH, SO YOU KNOW, I'M I'M COMMITTED TO THAT DIRECTION FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THANK YOU IN OUR PREVIOUS WORK TOGETHER IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS. UM I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE WILLINGNESS TO OFFER YOUR EXPERTISE IN MOST MOST IMPORTANTLY, UM, WILLING TO STRENGTHEN EYES THAT YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE ROOM. TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AND SO AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR BEING IN THE ROOM. UM I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO PLEASE SOME VERY GOOD THINGS COMING FROM THE WORK OF THE OF THE NEW PORTING MEMBERS THAT ARE BEING APPOINTED. SO THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. WE HAVE BEEN JOINED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT REED , UM COUNCILMAN KUMAR RASHAD AND PAUL MCRANEY IF I DIDN'T SAY THAT EARLIER, UM I EXPECT TO BE JOINED BACK. COUNCILMAN BLACKWELL. COUNCILWOMAN SHANKLIN HAS AN EXCUSED ABSENCE. UM COUNCILWOMAN PURPOSE. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE LOOKING AT YOUR RESUME. YOU ARE ONE BUSY GUY. UM AND SO, YOU KNOW, I AM. JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT I APPRECIATE INVOLVEMENT WITH TORQUE BEING A BOARD MEMBER . AND UM, CAN I ASK? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON THE BOARD? NOW? I BELIEVE I WAS APPOINTED IN LATE 2018. 2018. OKAY, SO YOU'VE BEEN THERE DOING SOME CHALLENGING TIMES? UM IN MY I'M HOPING THAT, UM MOVING ALONG THAT TORQUE WILL IMPROVE WILL BECOME WHAT WE EXPECT TALK TO BE OFTENTIMES I'M CONTACTED MY EMPLOYEES. OF THEM BEING INFORMED OF CERTAIN DISPARITIES.AND SO. UH FOR THE SAKE, BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE, UH , EMPLOYEES BECAUSE EMPLOYEES THEY DO ADD VALUE TO THE ORGANIZATION. UM SO IF IT'S SOME POINT IN TIME. UM DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM? WITH ADDRESSING THE INTERNAL OPERATIONS OF TORQUE. UM DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE? ADDRESSING IT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH AND IF NEED BE.
IF THESE THINGS ARE FOUND TO BE TRUE AND CONTINUE, BUT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS ON PERSONNEL CHANGE. I THINK THERE WAS A LOT IN THAT QUESTION, I WOULD SAY, UM I WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THE ROLE OF A BOARD MEMBER. I'M NOT PART OF NOT JOINING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY, AND SO I THINK ANY HEALTHY ORGANIZATION NEEDS TO HAVE GOOD GOVERNANCE AND NEEDS TO HAVE GOOD MANAGEMENT. IF THERE ARE TIMES WHEN MANAGEMENT IS NOT GOOD, THEN THERE IS A RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BOARD TO ACT. AND SO, UM, I GUESS I'LL SORT OF BEG YOUR INDULGENCE THAT AS WE LOOK AT SITUATIONS, YOU KNOW OFTEN THEY ARISE AS INDIVIDUAL INCIDENTS AND WHEN INCIDENTS TURN INTO MULTIPLE INCIDENTS AND PATTERNS DEVELOPED AND IT BECOMES A I THINK A SERIOUS MATTER FOR THE BOARD. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW. I'M RELYING ON. ALSO MY COLLEAGUES FOR US TO FIGURE OUT WHEN THERE'S A BROKEN PROCESS WHEN THERE'S
[00:20:06]
INAPPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT. AND TO ACT SWIFTLY. I THINK WE, UM, I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT HOW MUCH WE'RE GETTING INVOLVED IN DAILY OPERATIONS JUST BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY NOT IN EVERYBODY'S BEST INTEREST TO CONFUSE THE LEADERSHIP EQUATION. SO. I HOPE THAT'S A SATISFYING ANSWER, AND I'M HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU ANYTIME TO DISCUSS ANY SPECIFIC CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE.THANK YOU. I MAY TAKE YOU UP ON THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN COUNCILMAN SCOTT REED. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. YOU JUST SAID A MINUTE AGO THAT YOU DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WAS.
AND BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR COMING AND THANK YOU FOR SERVING. YOU SAID A MINUTE AGO THAT YOU DIDN'T THINK IT WAS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DELVE. THAT CLOSELY INTO OPERATIONS WHEN OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN SUFFERING OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, IF NOT THE BOARD, HE DOES DON'T BINGE OPERATIONS WHO REALLY GETS INTO IT. HE REALLY HOLDS THE DIRECTOR TO THE FIRE. UM AT SOME POINT. WHAT WHAT POINT DOES THE DIRECTOR HAVE TO ACCOUNT TO THE BOARD AND HIS SUPPORTERS SAY, HEY, YOU'RE NOT DOING WHAT WE EXPECT YOU TO DO. YEAH I MEAN, IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. UM I GUESS WHEN I USE THE PHRASE DIVING INTO OPERATIONS. YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T EVER WANT TO BE TO PUT HIS POSITION TO DECIDE WHERE A BUS GOES ON ANY GIVEN DAY OR WHETHER SOMEBODY IS WORKING BEYOND THEIR SHIFT. I MEAN, THAT IS CLEARLY INAPPROPRIATE IN MY VIEW FOR BOARD MEMBER, SO AS YOU MOVE AWAY FROM THOSE NITTY GRITTY DAY TO DAY MANAGEMENT ISSUES. YOU BRING UP PERFORMANCE ISSUES OF FOR THE ORGANIZATION. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY A RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD TO ACT IF THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING A SERVICE LEVEL THAT WE ALL AGREED IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS COMMUNITY OR IS ACHIEVABLE IN THE INDUSTRY. SO UM, YOU KNOW , I BELIEVE THAT THE AGENCY HAS PROCESSES IN PLACE AND DOES REPORT DATA REGULARLY. EVERY BOARD MEETING I'VE BEEN TO WE GO THROUGH ALL OF THE PERFORMANCE METRICS OF THE AGENCY. I THINK WHAT MAYBE GETTING LOST IN A LOT OF THAT REPORTING. OUR UM MORE SUBTLE ISSUES ABOUT, UM WHAT ROLE EACH OF THESE SERVICE LINES PLACE AND FIXED ROUTE IS DIFFERENT THAN PARA TRANSIT OR IT IS DIFFERENT THAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. I MEAN THE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF THE AGENCY. UM YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU LOSE A LITTLE IN THE ROLL UP IN THE DASHBOARD, SO I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CHALLENGED WITH AS A BOARD AS WE LOOK AT THE FINANCIAL SITUATION, WHICH IS DESPERATE FOR THE AGENCY IN THE FUTURE WHEN THE COVID MONEY IS SPENT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH OF THESE THINGS GETS TRADED OFF. SO I DON'T THINK WE'RE IN A STATUS QUO SITUATION WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO OPTIMIZE. PERFORMANCE I THINK WE'RE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE TO MAKE SOME HARD DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT THE SERVICE IS DOING IN OUR COMMUNITY. YES THANK YOU . AND YOU MENTIONED CHART THREE MINUTES AGO. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE TURKS THREE CONTRACT EXPIRES IN 2025, WHICH MEANS THAT WE SHOULD BE GOING THROUGH. I THINK A PRETTY ROBUST OR P PERIOD. NOW LEADING UP TO THAT. HOW INVOLVED WITH THE BOARD BE IN THIS RFP PROCESS? I THINK IT'S PRETTY WELL KNOWN. THAT TART THREE IS NOT SERVED THE DISABLED COMMUNITY WELL OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. THIS GOES BACK TO THE PRE PANDEMIC, BUT BUT HOW INVOLVED WILL YOU BE IN SETTING THE PARAMETERS FOR THIS, RFP? WE WILL BE VERY INVOLVED IN SUDDENLY PARAMETERS FOR THIS, RFP. I THINK THERE IS BROAD AGREEMENT THAT, UM THERE ARE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT PARATRANSIT SERVICES TARGET THREE. UM THE FACT THAT WE'RE COMING UP WITH THIS WINDOW TO RELOOK AT THIS? I THINK ANY NUMBER OF REQUESTS THAT I'VE HEARD MADE ABOUT THINGS THAT SHOULD BE OFFERED IN THE SERVICE ASSURANCES THAT SHOULD BE MADE. THERE IS NO BETTER TIME THAN IN THE YOU KNOW THE LETTING OF THIS RFP AND NEGOTIATING A CONTRACT TO PUT THOSE THINGS THAT WEREN'T IN THE LAST CONTRACT IN PLACE. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, I THINK WILL BE VERY, VERY INVOLVED. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF THE AGENCY ALSO SAY IT IS IN SOME RESPECTS AN UNFUNDED MANDATE, SO AS WE HAVE GROWTH IN RIDERSHIP IN PARA TRANSIT. UM YOU KNOW, THAT IS JUST COMING OUT OF GENERAL OPERATING FUNDS OF TARK . AND SO UNLESS WE CAN FIND A SMART WAY TO MEET THIS RISING DEMAND FOR A SERVICE, WHICH AS A MIXED RECEPTION IN OUR COMMUNITY. I THINK THERE'S NO MORE IMPORTANT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW . AND I THINK YOU KNOW YOUR COLLEAGUE BEN RENO. WEBER YOU KNOW, HE'S ENCOURAGING US TO LOOK AT THE FUNDS THAT ARE
[00:25:03]
AVAILABLE THROUGH MEDICAID, MEDICARE. AND I MEAN, I DO THINK WE SHOULD LEAVE NO STONE STONE UNTURNED TO FIGURE THIS OUT, BECAUSE IT'S LOOK, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT. AND I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A NICE OPEN DIALOGUE ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO. AND HOW MAYBE WE CAN CAN CAN TAP INTO TWO OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING TO HELP THAT SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE MOMENT IT'S NOT REALLY WORKING FOR ANYBODY SO BUT LET'S LET'S HAVE THAT DIALOGUE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT AND SAY, LOOK, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE FAILING. AND THIS IS WHERE YOU KNOW IF WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE REVENUE COMING IN HERE WE COULD. WE COULD PROVIDE BETTER SERVICE. NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT IS REPAIRED. PREPARING FOR THIS RFP SO YOU KNOW, GET US INVOLVED IN THIS. ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN KRAMER. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR ALONG THOSE SAME LINES, AND I'M SURE THIS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED TO YOU ALREADY, UM, ON THE AFTERNOONS THAT IT HASN'T DONE, AT LEAST FOR IT TO BE AT LEAST 10 YEARS. RUN LITTLE AWARENESS. UM IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED. THAT. THE REPORTING MECHANISMS. YOU'VE BEEN MENTIONING REPORTS TO THE BOARD. THIS ONE TRIGGERED THIS MEMORY. UM THAT'S REPORTING MECHANISMS THROUGH A PAIR OF TRAINING THAT ARE SELF REPORTING. SO IF THEY GO TO PICK SOMEONE UP AT DIALYSIS, UM THE PERSON ISN'T AT THE CURB. JUST WHEN MY MOTHER WAS ON DIALYSIS, THAT'S IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THAT WHOLE THING SO YOU HAVE TO FINISH THAT OUT, SINCE YOU HAVE TO GET YOURSELF TOGETHER AND GET BACK OUT TO THE CURB. UM BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE PAIR OF TRANSIT FOLKS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE DECIDING. DIFFERENT IF IT IF I PICK UP WAS CANCELED BECAUSE THE PERSON WASN'T THERE. AND IF THAT'S REPORTED. GETS TO THE IT'S TO THE CONTRACTORS ADVANTAGE. TO HAVE ROUTES HAVE ROUTES THAT THEY DIDN'T PICK UP. BE CANCELED RIDES INSTEAD OF HEY, WE JUST DIDN'T MAKE IT THERE. IF THE ONE THAT'S REPORTING THOSE RODS THAT WEREN'T PICKED UP AS THE PERSON YOU DIDN'T DO THE PICKING UP THAT JUST IS KIND OF SUSPECT TO ME. IT SEEMS LIKE WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER WAY OF DOING THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF IN FACT, THAT'S REALITY AND I WAS TOLD, THAT'S MY TO DO IT. AS YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT THE CONTRACT. YOU DON'T NECESSARILY NEED A RESPONSE. I'M JUST SAYING, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THAT ALREADY SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IS THAT CONVERSATION WHERE THE REALITY OF IT IS. I THINK IT'S INCUMBENT ON THE BOARD TO FIND OUT APPRECIATE THAT INPUT. OKAY THANK YOU. WE HAVE BEEN JOINED BANK COUNCILMAN RICK BLACKWELL. HE'S BEEN HERE 10 MINUTES OR SO . UM AND ALSO COUNCILMAN RENO.WEBER HAS AN EXCUSED ABSENCE. ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR MR SMITH? NO OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. WE APPRECIATE IT. UM SO THIS IS AN APPOINTMENT THAT CALLS FOR A VOICE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY, AYE, AYE.

THANKS AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND COUNCILMAN MCRANEY, UM, LOOKING FORWARD AND RECOGNIZING THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY BE SAVING MONEY IN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS TO THE ROADWAYS IN THIS AREA, BUT I WAS IT WAS JUST A QUESTION OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

ADMITTEDLY, I HAVEN'T EXPLORED THE QUESTION , BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE ANNEXATION STATUTE. SPEAK TO THAT. I'M NOT GONNA ABSOLUTELY SAY THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY THAT NO LANDING COULD EVER BE SORT OF TREATED AMONG CITIES, BUT AT LEAST WITHIN THE ANNEXATION SAID NOTHING IS ALLOWED FOR THAT PRODUCE SOME RESEARCH PRIORITIES STRANGE DEALS HANGING OUT THERE, BUT I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF THERE WERE I THINK, JUST AS IN GENERAL, BUT A CURIOSITY, BUT PLEASE DON'T PRIORITIZE IT.

HEARST SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS CONTIGUOUS WITH THE EXISTING BOUNDARY OF THE CITY OF JEFFERSON TOWN, BUT NOT CONTINUOUS TO THE BOUNDARY OF THE FORMER CITY OF LOUISVILLE. AND BEING IN THE END INCORPORATED AREA OF THE FORMER JEFFERSON. I'M SORRY. THE FORMER COUNTY OF JEFFERSON, DO I HEAR A MOTION? THANK YOU PROPERLY MOVED AND SECONDED. I WAS ASKED TO SPONSOR THIS AND I THINK I'M GOING TO LEAN ON THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO EXPLAIN THIS, PLEASE. TRAVIS. I DON'T THINK YOU'VE GOT YOUR MIC ON. SORRY ABOUT THAT TRY TO FEED HER ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY. THIS IS A PROPOSAL BY THE CITY JEFFERSON TOWN, UM, TO ANNEX LAND KNOWN AS WE'RE CURSED SUBDIVISION. UM IT WAS NOT A UNANIMOUS, UM REQUEST AND THEN 97% ROUGHLY APPROPRIATE THEY WERE REQUIRED TO HOLD A OVERHEARING FROM PUBLIC COMMENTS, WHICH THEY DID. UM AGAIN. WE RECEIVED AGENCY COMMENTS. THOSE ARE ALL CONTAINED ON THE RECORD. IN THIS CASE, I'M LIKE THE LAST ONE MSD
[00:50:04]
DID, UM HAVE SOME COMMENTS REQUESTED THAT METRO SORT OF ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES APPROPRIATED IN J TOWN. THEY'VE DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THE PAST. SO I HAVE THAT LANGUAGE ON HAND. IF, UH IF UM COUNCILS INTERESTED IN ADDING THAT IT IS FREE, WHEREAS CLAUSES THAT SORT OF ACKNOWLEDGES THEIR RELATIONSHIP. UM BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS.HMM. I'M NOT WONDERING IF IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO GO AHEAD AND ADD THAT LANGUAGE. CAN I ASK YOU HOW HOW MANY YOU SAID 97% VOTED. TO AFFIRM. BUT YOU HAD ONE PERSON THAT DIDN'T VOTE. IS THAT RIGHT? I HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK. MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD. I BELIEVE THEY EITHER. I THINK THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE RESPONSES FROM SOME PEOPLE IN THOSE CAN'T BE COUNTED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, AND THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD ONE PERSON AGAINST UM OKAY. FOR GIVING ME A MINUTE, OKAY? ATTORNEY SUMMARY SO BACK TO THE MSD THING. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT AGAIN? YES SO MSD HAS SOME UM. ONGOING DISCUSSIONS WITH A COUPLE OF THE SUBURBAN CITIES. JAKE TOWN IS ONE OF THEM. AND THEY ASKED HIM THIS RECORD AS THEY HAVE IN THIS IN THEIR LETTER, AS THEY HAVE WITH THE PREVIOUS DYNAMIC STATION. UM THAT METRO CLARIFY THAT THIS INDEXATION IS NOT MEANT TO IN ANY WAY IMPACT M S D S RIGHTS RESPONSIBILITIES. UM UNDER THEIR STATUTES, AND IT'S NOT. I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING IN OUR LANGUAGE RIGHT NOW. THAT WOULD SUGGEST THAT, UM, BUT WE HAVE IN PREVIOUS OCCASIONS ADDED SOME EXPLICIT LANGUAGE TO CLARIFY THAT THAT IS NOT THE COUNCIL'S ATTENTION TO IN ANY WAY IMPACT THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY OF J 10. OKAY. YES, COUNCILMAN CRAMER. THANK YOU, TRAVIS. UM YOU HAD TO YOUR POINT. YOU HAVE THE LANGUAGE THAT WE ADDED TO THE LAST ANNEXATION ORDINANCE THAT THE CITY OF JEFFERSON TOWN ANNEXES THAT IS THAT CORRECT? I DO, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT SENDING THAT ALONG TO THE COMMITTEE. THAT'S FINE. I WOULD JUST PROPOSED THAT WE USE EXACTLY THE SAME LANGUAGE . AND SO CAN I MAKE THAT IN THE FORMATIVE AN AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE THE SAME LANGUAGE FROM THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE, OR DO WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY HAVE THAT LANGUAGE READ IN TODAY? IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. IT'S THREE WHEREAS CLAUSES AND IT DOES GET HIM INTO VERY SLIGHTLY BECAUSE IT'S A NEW SUBDIVISION. SO I'M HAPPY TO READ THAT IN QUICKLY THAT ALRIGHT? YEAH I WOULD PREFER IT IF THAT WAS OKAY. UM SO THESE ARE THE THREE WHEREAS CLAUSES THAT ARE INSERTED AFTER THE CLOSET STARTS, WHEREAS CARESS 67 C 0.11 73 SO THE NEXT DOOR HAS CLAWS WOULD NOW READ, WHEREAS VARIOUS MUNICIPAL AGENCIES WERE PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND COMMENT UPON THE CITY OF JEFFERSON TOWN REQUEST.

MSD AND THE CITY OF JEFFERSON TOWN. SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT IN THE FORM OF A MOTION SECOND. OKAY AND THEN I WOULD JUST FOLLOW UP. UM, WITH THAT FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC AS WELL AS MY COLLEAGUES. UM NONE OF THAT LANGUAGE SAYS THAT METRO LOUISVILLE IS TAKING A POSITION IN THIS DISCUSSION BETWEEN MSD AND THE CITY OF JEFFERSON TOWN. RIGHT SO THE LANGUAGE DOESN'T SAY WE THINK MSD HAS IT RIGHT? AND JEFFERSON TOWN HAS TO, YOU KNOW, CHANGE THEIR APPROACH, BUT IT ALSO DOESN'T SAY WE BELIEVE JEFFERSON TOWN HAS IT RIGHT. AND THAT MSD HAS TO IN SOME WAY, YOU KNOW, MOVING THE NEGOTIATIONS SO AS A AS A COUNCIL AND AS A COMMUNITY.
