APPROPRIATING $1,500 FROM NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT FUNDS IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER. 1500 FROM DISTRICT EIGHT TO THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET TO BELKNAP NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, INC, FOR COST ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR ANNUAL FALL FESTIVAL. DO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. SECOND. PROBABLY MOVED AND SECONDED. THIS IS ALSO COUNCILMAN RENA WEBER AND REQUIRES SPEAKER. IS THERE SOMEONE HERE TO SPEAK TO IT? GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M BETSY FOSTER, LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT FOR BEN RENO WEBER. WE ARE REQUESTING $5,000 TO REPAIR A SIDEWALK AT 1646 LUCIA AVENUE. RIGHT NOW, THE BELKNAP. DO I NEED TO SPEAK TO THAT? SORRY.

YES. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU. OH, TO ASK OTHER PEOPLE IF THEY. SORRY, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. SO THE TOTAL ASK WAS $2,500. THIS IS TO OFFER TO HELP PROVIDE FOR EXPENSES FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FESTIVAL. OUR DISTRICT IS GIVEN 1500. THE TOTAL REQUEST WAS 2500. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT, TO THAT, THE BELKNAP BELKNAP NEIGHBORHOOD FESTIVAL ACTUALLY RAISES MONEY TO PUT TREES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TAKE CARE OF THE COMMUNITY. FROM THAT STANDPOINT. I DON'T SEE I DON'T SEE ANYBODY IN THE QUEUE. SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS. AS FAR AS REIMBURSEMENTS ARE CONCERNED, THE NONPROFIT'S APPLICATION IS DATED SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2024. THE NFE TRANSMITTAL AND APPROVAL FORM AND CHECKLIST ARE DATED IN OCTOBER AFTER THE OCTOBER EVENT, AND THE NFE REQUEST PACKET WAS NOT SUBMITTED TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE UNTIL DECEMBER 2024, FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE REIMBURSEMENT. SO I THINK LAST COMMITTEE MEETING I HAD MADE OUR FOLKS AWARE AS NEW CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, THAT IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT WE HAVE MADE TOO MANY EXCEPTIONS TO OUR POLICY OF EXPENDING FUNDS AFTER AN EVENT TAKES PLACE. THEREFORE, I PERSONALLY APOLOGIZE TO KIND OF NIP THIS STUFF IN THE BUD THAT I WILL BE A NO VOTE FOR THIS ONE. AND MY EXPLANATION, IN ADDITION, IS THAT IF THE REQUESTER NEEDS TO GET THEIR PAPERWORK DONE, PER OUR POLICIES AND THE METRO COUNCIL OFFICE NEEDS TO HELP THEM GET THEIR PAPERWORK DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND IF THE ORGANIZATION GOES AHEAD AND PAYS FOR THEIR ASK, THEN MAYBE THEY DON'T PROBABLY NEED THE FUNDS THAT BAD IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO MY NO VOTE WILL SEND THIS OUT TO OLD BUSINESS. AT THAT POINT IN TIME, PEOPLE CAN ADD ON TO IT IF THEY

[00:05:06]

WANT TO, OR THEY CAN LET THE COUNCIL DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THE MAJORITY VOTE. SO AT THIS TIME, I WILL TAKE ANY ONE WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR CONCERNS. THIS IS SONIA. JUST LETTING YOU KNOW WITH A NO VOTE. IT COULD. IF SHE DOESN'T WANT THE OTHER $1,000, WE COULD LET IT STAY HERE. BUT IF SHE WANTS TO TRY TO GET THE OTHER 1000, IT WILL GO TO OLD BUSINESS.

OTHERWISE IT'LL JUST STAY HERE. OKAY, I'M NOT PUSHING FOR THE EXTRA 1000. OKAY. SO. I JUST HAVE A COMMENT OR NOTICE THAT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF REIMBURSEMENTS. SO IT'S. I DO NOTICE THAT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF REIMBURSEMENTS. I'VE NOT BEEN ON THE APPROPRIATION BEFORE, BUT AND I DO KNOW THAT'S IN THE RULES, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE CLEAR TO EVERYBODY THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DO REIMBURSEMENT, YOU JUST LOSE OUT. BUT, I MEAN, I WILL SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE MAYBE BEN DIDN'T KNOW. AND HE'S NEW. BUT I DO KNOW THAT IF THE MONEY IS OUT, IF THEY SPEND IT THEIRSELF, THEY EVIDENTLY DON'T NEED THE MONEY. THANK YOU. AND I AGREE WITH HER, BUT I THINK MARYLAND, MAYBE YOU NEED TO GET IT OUT THERE AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT. THE ONLY THING THAT I WILL SAY IS IN THE COMMENTS THAT WERE SENT OUT, IT EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS ORGANIZATION NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE THINGS IN TIME WHERE SOMEBODY BROKE FOOT, SOMEBODY ELSE HAD TO TAKE OVER IS A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. SO THERE WERE A LOT OF EVENTS THAT OCCURRED. AND THEN WE ENDED UP WITH CHRISTMAS BREAK, WHICH ALSO MEANT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY COUNCIL MEETINGS. SO NOT TO SAY YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE. JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE WERE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. I DON'T NORMALLY DO THIS. THANK YOU AND THANK YOU. SO COULD I ASK FOR A QUICK QUESTION, IF I CAN, WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS? JUST BECAUSE I'M STILL NEW TO THIS PROCESS? WHEN SOMEONE'S ASKING FOR THE EXTRA MONEY, IS THAT TYPICALLY LIKE WHAT WE HAD AT OUR LAST MEETING, WHERE PEOPLE START TO KIND OF RAISE THEIR HAND AND SAY, I'LL GIVE? OR IS THAT TYPICALLY LIKE THROUGH EMAIL? WHAT IS THE TYPICAL PROCEDURE THAT WE'VE DONE WITH ASKING FOR EXTRA? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WELL, I THINK THE SPONSOR CAN ACTUALLY SEND AN EMAIL. THAT'S ONE WAY AND PEOPLE CAN ADD ON, OR YOU CAN DO IT IN COMMITTEE OR YOU CAN DO IT AT COUNCIL. SO COULD WE HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE FOR THIS. OH, IT'S ALREADY UP. OKAY. SORRY 30. 400 AND. OKAY. THE ITEM PASSES. THANK YOU. DO YOU NEED ME TO STATE FOR THIS NEXT ONE? I THINK THE NEXT ONE I THINK I NEED TO I'M SUPPOSED TO

ITS CUTOFF THROUGH THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET TO THE JEFFERSON COUNTY PUBLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATION, INC, FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A RAMP AT NORTON COMMONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL'S PLAYGROUND. AND THAT WAS DISTRICT 17. MARKUS WINKLER AND COUNCILMAN READ. DISTRICT 16. DO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND? PROPERLY MOVED AND SECONDED. IT'S OVER 5000. WE HAVE A SPEAKER. HA! OKAY. HELLO. JARED TOWNS, LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT TO DISTRICT 16. SO THIS IS AN ADA COMPLIANT RAMP THAT WE ARE HELPING BUILD AT NORTON COMMONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. PREVIOUSLY COUNCILMAN READ AND I BELIEVE 2017 HELPED WITH THE ADA COMPLIANT PLAYGROUND THAT THEY HAVE. SO THIS RAMP IS LIKE A PHASE TWO TO THAT TO HELP CONNECT THE SCHOOL TO THE PLAYGROUND. THE PLAYGROUND IS ALSO OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WHEN SCHOOL IS NOT IN SESSION. THANK YOU. PERFECT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? COUNCILWOMAN? RAYMOND? DOES DOES THIS FUND THE ENTIRE PROJECT? YES. YES IT DOES. WERE ANY EFFORTS MADE TO TRY AND GET THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DO THIS FIRST? YES. WE REACHED OUT TO THEM FIRST. AND WHEN I SAY THEM, ACTUALLY, IT FIRST CAME FROM THE PRINCIPAL AND THE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION. AS LONG AS SOME PARENTS. AND THEY DO NOT DO PLAYGROUND FUNDS OR WORK OF THE RAMP AS WELL. SO COUNCILMAN REED DECIDED TO PAY FOR IT AS LONG AS WELL AS WITH DISTRICT 17. MAY I ASK ONE MORE QUESTION? YES. DO YOU KNOW THE ANNUAL REVENUE OF THE NORTON COMMONS PTA? I DO NOT. I BET IT'S HIGH. THANK YOU. THANKS. I THINK IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT FOR THIS TYPE OF EXPENDITURE, WE HAVE A LOT OF TIMES WE APPROPRIATE MONEY FOR PLAYGROUNDS AND WHATNOT THROUGH THE FOUNDATION. THIS IS THROUGH THE FOUNDATION? YEAH. SO AND ACTUALLY, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT WE COULD DO THIS SORT OF THING RIGHT THERE. THE 500 1C3. YEAH. OKAY. SO NUMBER EIGHT IS BEING HELD. OH, SHOOT.

OKAY. SO ALL THOSE IN MARYLAND. ANY MORE QUESTIONS, CHAIRMAN PARKER? ■YEAH. SO IF THE SCHOOL DOESN'T HELP PAY FOR THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT OF SUCH, WHO PAID FOR THE ORIGINAL PLAYGROUND? AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY A THE ORIGINAL ADA COMPLIANT PLAYGROUND. MY UNDERSTANDING IS DISTRICT 16 PAID FOR THAT. WOW.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER PARTNERS WITH THAT, BUT I WASN'T HERE THEN. YOU KNOW. ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE'RE. OH, COUNCILWOMAN. THE SCHOOLS. I MEANT OTHER PLAYGROUNDS ACROSS THE CITY. THE COUNCIL PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS PUT FUNDING IN TOWARDS THE PLAYGROUND. I KNOW THE ONE OUT THERE, AND IT COST US $40,000, AND WE WERE ABLE TO PUT. BUT THAT UNLESS THERE'S A NEW RULE, IS THAT A NEW RULE? THIS IS LATONYA BELL. THE COUNCIL FINANCIAL ANALYST.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, MISS COUNCILWOMAN SHANKLIN. IT'S A BEST PRACTICE FOR THE DISTRICTS IF THEY ELECT TO HELP FUND THE PLAYGROUNDS. THE MAJORITY OF THEM USUALLY GO THROUGH THE JEFFERSON COUNTY FOUNDATION ORGANIZATION TO DO THAT. AND I'M SORRY FOR MY VOICE, BUT THE PLAYGROUND HAS TO BE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. BUT IT IS A BEST PRACTICE. THERE'S ALSO OTHER FIELDS OF SPORT AREAS THAT THE FUNDS AND THE FUNDS ARE BEING USED FOR, FOR DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AS WELL. BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FOUNDATION AND EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU MAY SEE SOMETHING COME THROUGH A PTA REQUEST FOR FUNDS. AS LONG AS THEY MEET OUR REQUIREMENTS, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO STILL APPLY. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR

DO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND? SECOND. PROPERLY MOVED AND SECONDED. AND DO WE HAVE SOMEONE TO SPEAK TO THIS? YES. GOOD AFTERNOON. I HOPE YOU ARE ALL DOING WELL. THIS IS ASHKAN REZAIE, LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT FOR DISTRICT 21. THIS IS TO SUPPORT PRESTON AREA BUSINESS ALLIANCES. OPERATIONAL FUNDS SPECIFICALLY FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE MARKETING ASSISTANCE THAT I WOULD LIKE, MADAM CLERK, TO MAKE THAT AMENDMENT. BECAUSE THERE IS A TECHNICAL, YOU KNOW, TYPO IN THE ISSUE SHEET. I'M SORRY. YEAH. THIS IS SONYA HARWOOD. THE CLERK. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE A TECHNICAL CORRECTION TO THE TITLE. YES. SO THAT'S OUR FIRST. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO THE PRESENT AREA BUSINESS ALLIANCE, OR PABA, IS A NETWORK OF BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY LEADERS DEDICATED TO FOSTERING BUSINESS GROWTH THROUGH THE THROUGH CONNECTION, ACTION AND UNDERSTANDING. THEY'VE BEEN ESTABLISHED IN 2022. AND SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THE BUSINESS IN THE PRESTON CORRIDOR. AND IN ADDITION TO INSPIRING NEW ENTREPRENEURSHIP. LAST YEAR, THEY EXPANDED THEIR MEMBERSHIP BY 30 NEW MEMBERS. AND RIGHT NOW, I THINK THEY HELD ABOUT 116 MEMBERS IN THE PAST THREE YEARS. AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY PROMOTE BUSINESSES ALONG THE PRESTON CORRIDOR THROUGH BRANDING, DIRECTORIES, PUBLICITY AND PROMOTIONS. THEY ADVOCATE FOR BUSINESSES IN THEIR NETWORK. THEY ADDRESS INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFETY ISSUES BY COLLABORATING WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS, AND THEY CONNECT BUSINESSES THROUGH NETWORKING AND WELL-ATTENDED COMMUNITY. NETWORK GATHERINGS THAT THEY HELD AT THE NEW FACILITY BY THE AT THE NEW CITY HALL. ALSO MAKES DREAM COME TRUE. LAST YEAR, LYNN HERNANDEZ HAD A DEEP PASSION FOR WORKING WITH CHILDREN AND WITH THE HELP OF THE WITH THE SUPPORT OF PABA AND THE SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER, SHE TRANSFORMED HER AT HOME DAYCARE INTO A FORMAL DAYCARE IN VICINITY OF THE PRESTON CORRIDOR. AND THERE WAS ALSO A SEGMENT IN DRB ABOUT THE LITTLE ANGEL ANGEL DAYCARE THAT PROVIDES SERVICES TO SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. PABA IS ALSO COLLABORATING WITH UNIVERSITIES INCLUDING UNIVERSITY OF BELLARMINE. LIKE THEY HAD, THEY SELECTED A COUPLE OF BUSINESSES TO THE PRESTON CORRIDOR FOR THE MBA SCHOLARSHIP. WITH THE BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE BUSINESSES, WAS GRANTED THAT AND THEY ALSO WORK WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE MARKETING CLASS THIS YEAR TO TRY TO CREATE A NEW IDENTITY FOR THE PRESTON CORRIDOR. SO THEY'VE BEEN DOING GREAT WORK AND WE ARE REALLY IN SUPPORT OF THEM. AND DISTRICT EIGHT GENEROUSLY AGREED TO CONTRIBUTE $1,000 THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK TO BE AMENDED. AND DISTRICT 24 ALSO AGREED TO CONTRIBUTE. 1250 TOWARD THIS END, AND WE ARE SEEKING FOR MORE SUPPORT TO MATCH THE TOTAL FUND, WHICH IS $21,000. THANK YOU.

OKAY. YES. COUNCILWOMAN RAYMOND, DISTRICT TEN WOULD LIKE TO JOIN WITH 1500. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. OKAY. DO WE NEED TO CALL FOR AN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THESE? OKAY. CAN I ASK A QUICK

[00:20:04]

QUESTION BEFORE WE ADD SOME MORE MONEY? SO SINCE THIS IS FUNDING OPERATIVE COSTS FOR SALARIES, WILL WE BE DOING THIS? WILL YOU GUYS BE DOING THIS EVERY YEAR OR DID THEY JUST HAVE A SHORTFALL THIS TIME OR. YEAH. WELL AGAIN, THEY'VE BEEN ESTABLISHED IN 2022. AND SINCE THEY YOU KNOW, WE AS A NEW NONPROFIT, THEY JUST WANTED SOME SUPPORT TO BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES. I MEAN, THEY'RE TRYING TO ALSO GAIN REVENUE THROUGH THEIR MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMS THAT THEY'VE HAD. AND THEY ALSO TRYING TO HIRE A NEW PERSON WHO CAN WRITE FEDERAL GRANTS OR STATE GRANTS TO ADD REVENUE. SO, YEAH, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S A CONTINUOUS THING. IT WOULD JUST BE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN STAND ON THEIR FEET, BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN DOING TREMENDOUS WORK FOR THE PRESTON CORRIDOR COMMUNITY, AND I WOULD SAY THROUGHOUT THE CITY, BECAUSE THEIR BUSINESSES COME FROM ALL AROUND 26 DISTRICT, BUT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF GOOD WORK. THEY DO. OKAY. IS THERE ANY I HIGHLY WELCOME YOU TO PARTICIPATE TO ONE OF THEIR NETWORKING EVENT. IT'S PRETTY FUN AND COOL WITH GOOD FOOD AND YOU KNOW, SO OKAY. COUNCILWOMAN CHAPEL. SURE. THANK YOU. AND YOU DID A GREAT JOB ANSWERING ALL THOSE QUESTIONS AND TALKING ABOUT POGBA. I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR GREAT MOMENTUM AND APPLAUD THEM FOR THEIR COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES. I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY WONDERFUL. BOTH ON THEIR BEHALF AND OUR UNIVERSITIES. AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, I BELIEVE THE CITY OF LONGVIEW AND THE MAYOR THERE. IS THAT CORRECT? HAS ALLOWED POGBA TO OPERATE OUT OF THEIR CITY HALL. SO I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY, REALLY WONDERFUL. SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO APPLAUD THEM FOR OPENING THEIR DOORS AND PROVIDING A COLLABORATIVE SPACE. I DO WANT TO MAKE A MENTION THAT. PRESTON HIGHWAY, PRESTON STREET, IT'S 13 MILES. IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY LONG. THERE'S A LOT OF WONDERFUL BUSINESSES. IT'S A CORRIDOR THAT NEEDS A LOT OF LOVE. AND SO I THINK THAT SUPPORTING AN ORGANIZATION LIKE THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. BUT IN THOSE 13 MILES THAT IT'S INCREDIBLE. IT HAS DISTRICTS TWO, FOUR, SIX, TEN, 13, 15, 21, 23 AND 24. SO IT'S INCREDIBLE TO THINK ABOUT A STREET THAT LONG IMPACTING THAT MANY DISTRICTS. AND SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE MY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO, YOU KNOW, CONTRIBUTE AT A LEVEL THAT THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE. AND WITH THAT SAID, DISTRICT 15 WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE 500. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE QUEUE THAT WANTS TO ADD ANYTHING? OKAY, SO THIS IS AN AMENDMENT AND I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR THIS AMENDMENT. SECOND. GREAT. PROPERLY MOTIONED AND SECONDED. SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF I OF THE AMENDMENT SAY I NO'S. OKAY. I THINK THE AYES HAVE IT. SO LET'S SEE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO THEN WE I GUESS WE NEED TO VOTE ON THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE.
