[ Public Hearing]

THIS EVENING IS A PUBLIC HEARING, HAVING TO DO WITH THE, UH, RESULTS OF THE BIENNIAL IMPACT FEE ON IT.

CITY MANAGER.

THANK YOU.

MR. MEMBER WAS THE COUNCIL.

I'D LIKE TO START BY TURNING THIS OVER TO OUR DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, DON LANE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO ASK JULIE, OUR SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST COME FORWARD AND GIVE THE PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR PUBLIC HEARING ON OUR BIENNIAL IMPACT FEE AUDIT.

JUST A FEW SHORT NOTES ON THE BACKGROUND BEFORE WE GET STARTED IN 1997, CHANDLER WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES IN THE STATE THAT WAS CHARGING THE FULL COMPLIMENT OF IMPACT FEES.

AND THAT INCLUDES WATER WASTEWATER, RECLAIMED WATER, ARTERIAL STREETS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, LIBRARY, PARKS, FIRE, AND POLICE.

WE'RE NOW GETTING TO THE END OF OUR LIFE CYCLE.

MOST OF OUR PROJECTS ARE BUILT.

WE HAVE ACTIVE PROJECTS STILL IN STREETS AND PARKS AND WE'RE JUST REPAYING BACK THE DEBT.

SO ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES REQUIRE US EITHER TO FORM AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE RELATED TO OUR IMPACT D PROGRAM.

ALSO KNOWN AS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FEES OR PERFORM A BY AN AUDIT AND ALL THE CITIES HAVE CHOSEN TO TAKE THE STATUTORY ROUTE OF PERFORMING THE BI-ANNUAL AUDIT RATHER THAN FORMING THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

SO WE'RE IN GOOD COMPANY ON THAT END AS WELL.

UH, IMPACT THESE JUST AS A BRIEF REMINDER, OUR ONE-TIME REVENUES THAT ARE PAID BY DEVELOPERS AS THEY PULL BUILDING PERMITS AND THEY'RE HELPING TO FUND OUR GROWTH RELATED CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO WE USE OUR FINANCIAL AUDITORS, SEINFELD MEECHAN COMPANY.

THEY PERFORM VARIOUS SERVICES FOR THE CITY, INCLUDING OUR COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL AUDIT.

AND THEY PERFORM THIS AUDIT AS WELL.

THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR THEY'VE DONE THIS AUDIT AND EACH AUDIT COVERS A TWO YEAR TIMEFRAME.

SO THIS IS FISCAL IS 20 18, 19 AND FISCAL YEAR 1920.

THE AUDIT PROCEDURES THEY PERFORM ARE COMING OUT TO LOOK AT HOW WE'RE PROGRESSING THROUGH OUR DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE PROJECTIONS IN OUR IMPACT FEE AUDIT REPORT OF OUR LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS MAY KIND OF MEASURE HOW WE ARE PROGRESSING ON THOSE.

THEY REVIEW THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROJECTS OF HOW MUCH WE'RE SPENDING AND IF WE'RE SPENDING IT ON THE RIGHT ITEMS. AND THEY ALSO TAKE SAMPLES OF OUR IMPACT FEE REVENUE COLLECTIONS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CHARGING PEOPLE THE CORRECT AMOUNTS AND THAT WE'RE SPENDING IT ON THE PROJECTS THAT ARE APPROVED TO SPEND ON.

I'D LIKE TO THANK DEREK HORN AND HIS STAFF AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BECAUSE THEY ALSO PARTICIPATE QUITE HEAVILY IN THIS AUDIT AND THEIR STAFF ARE THE ONES THAT ARE HELPING THE AUDITORS THROUGH MOST OF THIS, THE RESULTS OF THE AUDIT WERE THAT THERE ARE NO FINDINGS OR INEQUITIES WITH OUR IMPACT PROGRAM.

WE'VE NOW MET THE REQUIREMENTS OF HAVING OUR BIANNUAL IMPACT THE AUDIT.

AND THERE'S NO FORMAL ACTION THAT'S REQUIRED AS THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS THE REQUIREMENT AND THE RESULTS ARE ALSO POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT WE PERFORMED OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND OUR PROGRAM IS OPERATING THE WAY IT SHOULD.

SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THIS IS ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS OR COME ASK ME WHAT, ARE THERE ANY COMPLAINTS FROM OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, UH, DURING THIS TIMEFRAME? UM, THAT'S NOT REALLY PART OF THE AUDIT, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ON OUR END.

UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ARE THE PEOPLE THAT CHARGE THE FEES AS THEY GO ON THE BUILDING PERMITS AND OUR FEES HAVE GONE DOWN IN THE LAST SEVERAL UPDATES WE'VE PERFORMED.

SO I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S REALLY COMPLAINING THAT THEY'RE PAYING TOO MUCH BECAUSE THEY'RE PAYING MORE ELSEWHERE THAN WHAT THEY'RE ANY COMPLIMENTS.

THEN I WOULD IMAGINE IF THE, IF THE FEES ARE GOING DOWN.

I'M KIDDING.

THANK YOU.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

SO WHO, UM, WHY, WHY ARE WE DOING THIS AUDIT AGAIN? WE'RE REQUIRED BY STATE STATUTE.

[00:10:01]

SO THAT'S WHY ALL THE CITIES HAVE GONE THE ROUTE OF, WELL, WE'LL JUST DO THE AUDIT AND THEN HAVE THAT DEEPER DIVE INTO OUR PROGRAM AND LOOKING AT THE CUSP, SENATORS, THAT SORT OF THING.

AND I HEARD THAT I, I, I'M JUST TRYING TO LEAD UP TO, SO HOW MUCH DID AUDIT COST US? I THINK IT WAS ABOUT $14,000 AND WE DO THIS EVERY, EVERY TWO YEARS AND THE IMPACT FEE FUNDS PAY FOR THE AUDIT.

OKAY, GOOD.

THAT'S OH, THEY ALLOW US TO DO STATE LEGISLATOR MODELS TO DO THAT.

THAT WAS GREAT.

THANK YOU.

UM, WHEN DO WE DO OUR NEXT IMPACT? THE UPDATE WE ARE GOING TO BE COMING FORWARD TO COUNCIL NEXT MONTH, AS A MATTER OF FACT, TO SELECT OUR CONSULTANT AT DUNKIN ASSOCIATES AND START WITH OUR NEXT FIVE YEAR UPDATE REQUIRED EVERY YEAR TO HAVE AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, UH, NO MORE THAN FIVE YEARS BETWEEN UPDATES.

RIGHT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION FROM THE AUDIENCE RELATED TO THE BIANNUAL IMPACT FEE ON IT? SEEING NONE I'D LIKE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THANK YOU, JULIE.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[11. Unscheduled Public Appearances]

WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF SPEAKER CARDS.

THERE WERE ALSO SOME CARDS ARE, UH, NOT CARDS, JUST EMAILS THAT WERE SENT IN AND THESE WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE, THE RECORD.

UH, WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF CARDS AND WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS JUST AS I HAVE THEM IN MY PRESENCE WITH NO PARTICULAR ORDER CALL YOU UP, UH, IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD HERE, YOU'LL HAVE 90 SECONDS TO, UH, SHARE WHAT YOU WOULD WISH THE GREEN LIGHT WILL BE ON FOR 60 SECONDS.

THE YELLOW LIGHT WILL BE ON FOR 30 SECONDS.

AND IF YOU COULD PLEASE WRAP THIS UP, WE ARE, SINCE THIS IS AN UNSCHEDULED PUBLIC APPEARANCE, WE'RE NOT ABLE TO DIALOGUE WITH YOU TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS OR OUR ADDRESS BACK WITH YOU.

I WOULD ASK STAFF THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE, UH, TAKE NOTE.

AND IF THERE ARE POINTS THAT WE CAN THEN, UM, GET BACK TO OUR RESIDENTS, I'LL TRUST OUR CITY MANAGER AND HER STAFF TO DO THAT.

SO WITH THAT, I'M JUST GOING TO START CALLING THE NAMES AND, UH, YOU'LL COME UP.

THE, THE MICROPHONE IS, WILL BE YOURS FOR 90 SECONDS.

SO, UH, JAY JOSHIE, AND AGAIN, IF YOU JUST PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND THE FLOOR IS YOURS, SIR, HONORABLE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CEDAR CITY LEADERS ON AJA JOSHI, 30 PLUS YEAR RESIDENT OF CHANDLER.

UM, MY FAMILY AND I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS.

SO I LIVE ON TONTO PLACE.

FIND LIKE A STATES, REAL SIMPLE.

UM, MOST OF YOU HAVE BEEN ELECTED BY US TO REPRESENT OUR INTERESTS.

ALL I ASK IS THAT WE BE TREATED EQUALLY LIKE EVERY CHANDLER RESIDENT.

MY REQUEST, MY SINCERE REQUEST IS WHY WOULD THE RESIDENTS OF PINE LAKE ESTATES RESERVE AT FULTON RANCH AND SOUTH SHORE BE SUBJECTED TO HIGH VOLTAGE LINES, DECLINING PROPERTY VALUES AND HEALTH HAZARDS.

SO MY EARNEST REQUEST IS PLEASE REVISIT IT, BURY THE POWER LINES, KEEP OUR COMMUNITY BEAUTIFUL, KEEP US SAFE.

AND THAT'S WHY WE ELECT YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

NEXT IS ELLISON GUERARD.

I APOLOGIZE IF I'M MISPRONOUNCING YOUR NAME AGAIN, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

THANK YOU AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS ALLISON GARRETT.

I'M A MOTHER, A WIFE, A HOMEOWNER IN VOTER FOR 29 EAST HORSESHOE AND PINE LAKE ESTATES.

CAMPAIGN PROMISES ARE IMPORTANT.

IT'S WHY MOST OF YOU HOLD THE SEAT.

YOU'RE IN COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO AND YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISES A PRIORITY FOR YOU IS TO ENHANCE AND PRESERVE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, PARKS, RECREATIONAL AMENITIES, AND PROGRAMS FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE.

YOU'RE ALSO PERSONALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT WORKING WITH RESIDENTS ON THEIR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES.

WE VOTED FOR YOU, AND NOW WE NEED YOU TO HELP US PRESERVE OUR EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE ARE HERE BEGGING YOU TO LISTEN AND WORK WITH US AND FOR US ON OUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE INTEL HIP PROJECT, VICE MAYOR STEWART ON NO ARE ON JUNE 27TH, YOU TWEETED AS A PART OF THE INTEL 20 BILLION EXPANSION.

THE CITY OF CHANDLER WORKED WITH SRP IN SUPPORT OF OUR NEIGHBORS TO UNDERGROUND PORTIONS OF THE TRANSMISSION LINE TO KEEP OUR STREETS SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, THAT'S A LOVELY SENTIMENT, BUT I APPARENTLY AM NOT WORTHY OF A SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL AREA TO WHICH I RESIDE.

IT'S TIME TO STOP PATTING YOURSELF ON THE BACKS AND TAKE NOTICE THAT THE RESIDENTS AROUND THE PROPOSED ABOVE GROUND LINES ARE NOT HAPPY.

SIMPLY STATING IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS HAS NOT WORKED FOR THE 500 PLUS HOMEOWNERS AND FAMILIES THAT WE FORCED TO LIVE IN.

THE SHADOWS OF THOSE 165 FOOT HIGH VOLTAGE LINES.

SRP HELD THEIR OPEN HOUSES.

THIS WEEK.

ALL WE HEARD WERE REHEARSED ANSWERS HALF-TRUTHS AND POINTING FINGERS AT THE CITY.

I RECEIVED NO PERSONAL GAINS FROM INTEL EXPANSION.

YET MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND MY NEIGHBORS WILL BEAR THE BURDEN OF THIS CHANGE.

WHY US? WHY DO WE NOT DESERVE THE SAME TREATMENT

[00:15:01]

WE CAN SHOOT YOU BETTER.

WE VOTED FOR YOU AND TRUSTED THAT YOU WANTED THE BEST FOR ALL OF US.

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION IS UNJUST.

WE IMPLORE YOU TO JUST LISTEN TO OUR COLLECTIVE VOICE.

THANK YOU.

NEXT IS DENISE.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU'D STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, THANK YOU.

MAYOR, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, DENISE CLECO.

I LIVE AT 4 0 9 EAST PORSCHE DRIVE IN PINE LAKES.

I OPPOSE SRPS PROPOSAL AND THE CITY OF CHANDLER'S RECOMMENDATION TO CONSTRUCT HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL POWER LINES BETWEEN PINE LAKES, FULTON RANCH RESERVE AND SOUTH SHORE VILLAGE.

THE WIDTH OF THIS AREA IS ONLY A HUNDRED FEET WIDE FEET, NOT YARDS.

THAT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN SOMEONE'S BACKYARD OF THE TOWERS WILL BE ALMOST TWO TIMES THE SIZE OF THE WIDTH OF WHERE THEY WILL BE PUT AMONGST 500 PLUS HOMES.

IT'S THIS TINY SLICE OF LAND WITH A LOT OF HOMES, A LOT OF HOMES AROUND, OKAY.

WE ARE FAMILIES THAT ARE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY'RE OUTSIDE SHOOTING THEIR HOOPS, RIDING THEIR BIKES, JUMPING IN THEIR POOLS, GETTING YELLED AT BY THEIR PARENTS TO GET INSIDE WHEN IT GETS TOO DARK.

AND WE WILL BE LIVING THERE.

IF THESE TOWERS ARE PUT UP WITH THE HISSING AND THE CHURNING AND THE LOOMING, THE LOOMING OF THESE TOWERS, BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CLOSE THEY'RE SO CLOSE 500 PLUS HOMES.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, BILLY BILL, 90 SECONDS.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

YEP.

MY NAME IS BILL LEE.

I LIVE ON, UH, IN CENTRAL VILLAGE, UH, TO A ZERO EAST SAN CARLOS WAY.

UM, I'LL JUST GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I'M I'M AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER.

UM, I WORK IN A SEMICONDUCTORS INDUSTRY, SO I KNOW ABOUT THIS INTEL PLANT.

I KNOW HOW MUCH POWER JUST END UP APPLYING WE'LL NEED.

I I'M ALSO AWARE OF THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS THAT'S INTEL PLANT WILL BRING TO THE CITY.

SO, UM, I SUPPORT THAT, BUT I'M ALSO A FATHER.

UM, AND MY ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BACKGROUND LETS ME KNOW THAT THERE'S THE AMOUNT OF POWER THAT GOES THROUGH THOSE LINES.

IF THEY'RE ABOVE GROUND, THE MAGNETIC FIELD THAT'S THAT'S, THAT'S BEING DRAWN.

AND THE CLOSENESS AS MY FELLOW SPEAKERS HAD MENTIONED HOW CLOSE ALL THESE HOMES ARE TO IT WITH ALL THE CHILDREN, THE CHILDREN ARE CHILDREN.

THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE, THEY'RE LIKE, THEY'RE LIKE THE KIDS THAT ARE LIKE THE GIRLS GO SCOUTS, RIGHT? THEY, THEY, THEY THEY'RE PLAYING THERE.

IT'S LIKE BASICALLY HAVING DUMB PLAY IN FRONT OF A MICROWAVE AND A CELL PHONE OR STRAP AROUND THEIR HEAD ALL THE TIME.

AND, AND THAT'S NOT IDEAL, BUT WHEN YOU BURY THESE LINES THAT THE GROUND WAS SHIELD A LOT OF THIS.

SO THIS THERE'S I'M APPEALING TO YOU FROM A SCIENTIFIC, FROM A HEALTH KIND OF, UH, ANGLE THROUGH TO THIS.

AND POTENTIALLY LIKE IF YOU GOT A LOT OF KIDS THAT AREN'T, AREN'T, AREN'T GONNA BE HEALTHY DOWN THE ROAD THEN LIKE THINGS ARE GOING TO, SO SOMEBODY HAS TO ANSWER FOR THIS.

SO I APPEALED TO YOU GUYS TO DO THE BEST YOU CAN TO FIX THIS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

LAURIE, LAURIE.

HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UM, MY NAME IS LORI .

MY ADDRESS IS 1 71 EAST, HAVE A SOUP PLACE, CHANDLER ARIZONA.

I'M A HOMEOWNER IN SOUTH SHORE VILLAGE AND MY FAMILY AND I LIVE THERE FULL TIME.

AND I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE PUT THE TRANSMISSION LINES UNDERGROUND.

UM, I WORK IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY AND I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THE INTEL EXPANSION.

UM, HOWEVER, I THINK IT'S WRONG TO DIFFERENTIATE, UM, THE POWER LINES NEXT TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, FROM THE POWER LINES THAT ARE GOING TO BE PUT UNDERGROUND.

UM, I'VE LOOKED AT THE MAP AND THE CHARTS THAT WE WERE SENT, AND I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT, UM, INTEL'S EXPANSION OF THEIR CHANDLER CAMPUS.

THEY'RE SPENDING

[00:20:01]

SO IT SEEMS LIKE, UH, INTEL COULD AFFORD TO HELP PAY FOR THIS.

I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE CHANDLER CITY COUNCIL, THIS IS FROM THE, THE RELEASE THAT WE, WE GOT, UH, THE MEDIA RELEASE FROM SRP CHANDLER CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AN AGREEMENT WITH SRP TO FUND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUILDING THE LINES OVERHEAD AND THE ADDED COST OF PUTTING THEM UNDERGROUND.

SO AS A TAXPAYER, UM, I GUESS WE'RE HELPING TO FUND PUTTING THEM UNDERGROUND.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL HERE TO ASK YOU TO DO TO PLEASE PUT THESE MAJOR ELECTRICAL LINES UNDERGROUND.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

NEXT IS DOUG BRUNO.

MR. BROWN.

THANK YOU MUCH.

UH, DOUG BRUIN 4 26 EAST SAN CARLOS WAY IN PINE LAKE ESTATES.

VERY DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE TO VISIT WITH YOU GUYS TODAY.

YOU'RE LITERALLY ALREADY MAKING ME SICK FROM THE STRESS OF THIS THING.

UH, WHAT GIVES YOU CONSTANT MEMBERS SRP AND UNTIL THE RIGHT TO CHANGE MY QUALITY OF LIFE, SHAME ON THE COUNCIL FOR GIVING US UP ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVE EXISTING 69 KV LINES.

THE TWO 30 KV LINES BELONG ON THE FARMLAND LIKE NORTH OF BAKA, TIA ROAD, NOT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF 550 HOMES.

MANY OF WHICH ARE BRAND NEW AND 1200 STUDENTS HAD BASIS.

ALL FOR SRP OPEN HOUSE SESSIONS WERE PURE, PURELY PLAN BS.

ALL NARRATIVES WERE AGAINST ALL THE OTHER OPTIONS FOR ONLY OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE SRP CHANDLER SPIN REGARDING HEALTH AND SAFETY REAL ESTATE VALUES WAS A COMPLETE JOKE.

WE HAVE MULTIPLE REALTORS IN OUR SUBDIVISION THAT CAN NEGATE ALL THE SRP COMMENTS REGARDING, UH, OUR VALUES AND, UH, THE OPEN HOUSE OF PLEASE FIGURE IT OUT.

TREAT ALL CHANDLER RESIDENTS, FAIRLY BURY ALL THE LINES.

THE 1999 SOUTHEAST CHANDLER PLAN.

MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD GET FAMILIAR WITH YOUR OWN PLAN FROM 1999.

IT'S EXACTLY OUR SUBDIVISION.

I DON'T THINK IT PLANNED FOR 230 KB LINES.

AND IT SAID THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN OPEN FORUM AND MORE COMMUNICATION BEFORE YOU GUYS DO CLOSED DOOR SESSIONS AND JAM SOMETHING LIKE THIS UP OR YOUTH SKIS.

VERY SIMPLE.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

UM, I LIVE WITH JOB FOUR TO SIX EAST SAN CARLOS WAY.

UM, MY NAME IS PATRICIA BREWIN.

WE LIVE CLOSE.

WE LIVE IN PINE LAKE ESTATES, WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

AND I GUESS MY QUESTION IS SINCE AQUA TEAL ROAD APPEARS TO BE THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE FROM THE SCHRADER SUBSTATION TO THE INTEL CAMPUS, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT UTILITIES ARE RUNNING UP UNDER, UP UNDER, UP TO YOUR ROAD.

ARE THEY UNDER THE NORTH LANE? ARE THEY UNDER THE SOUTH LANE? ARE THE, IN THE EASEMENT? WHERE ARE THEY THE SAME FOR ARIZONA AVENUE? WHERE ARE THOSE? ARE THEY UNDER THE WEST? ARE THEY UNDER THE EAST OR THE UNDER THE EASEMENTS? WE KEEP SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE KEEP HEARING THEY'RE FULL.

THEY'RE TOTALLY FULL WELL WHERE NO ONE GIVES US REALLY ANY DIRECT EXPLANATION.

ANOTHER THING HAVE YOU CONSIDERED BEARING THE LINES IN PINE LAKES? IT'S PINE LAKES ESTATES ITSELF.

MY HUSBAND AND I WENT OUT THERE WITH OUR MEASURING TAPE AND WE HAVE THE ROOM.

WE HAVE THE ROOM ALONG THAT WALL, UM, ON THE PINE LAKES WHERE THE PINE LAKES MEETS THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

HAVE YOU MEASURED THAT? HAVE YOU BEEN OUT THERE? WE INVITE YOU TO COME AND CHECK FOR YOURSELF AS A RETIRED PEDIATRIC RN.

I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT MY GRANDCHILDREN AND MY CHILDREN.

WHEN THEY COME TO THIS WOULDN'T YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR GRANDCHILDREN TO BE PLAYING CLOSE TO THESE POWER LINES.

ALL ARE ASKING YOU IS FUN, DIFFERENT ROUTES, VARY THEM, OR PUT THEM UNDER A COMPUTER OR SOME OTHER ROAD WHERE THEY CAN BE PUT.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM THANK YOU.

BY THE WAY.

WHERE IS INTEL'S GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY FOR US.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS SUSAN MUSCLE, MAN.

I LIVE AT 2 48 EAST CANYON WAY IN CHANDLER, ARIZONA.

UM, I AGREE WITH ALL THESE WONDERFUL STATEMENTS, THESE PEOPLE MAKING.

I WANT THOSE POWER LINES BURIED.

UH, WE HAVE A NICE LITTLE WALKWAY ALONG IN OUR SUBDIVISION, AND I JUST THINK OF ALL THE BUZZY NOISE THAT COMES OFF OF THESE THINGS.

[00:25:01]

THE OTHER THING IS I HAVE NOTICED LOTS OF BIRDS ON, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THESE SMALLER POWER LINES, YOU FIND DEAD BIRDS THERE, YOU PUT THESE 165 TOWER ONES UP THERE AND OH MY GOSH, THERE IS WATER IN FORT RANCH.

UM, AND THERE'S WATER OUT IN THE OTHER SUBDIVISION.

AND THESE BIRDS GO ACROSS.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL BIRDS DEAD ON THE GROUND.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. BURR.

HELLO, MY NAME IS SCOTT ROWER.

UH, I LIVE AT, UH, FOUR EAST COUNTY WAGON PINE LAKE STATES.

UM, I WORKED FOR COMCAST FOR 20 YEARS.

I WORKED FOR ORBITEL CABLE COMMUNICATIONS HERE, TRYING TO BE BUSINESS PARTNER WITH YOU ALONG RACE ROAD.

MR. BURTON, CAN I GET THE CLOCK TO THANK YOU.

PROCEED.

I'M SORRY, SIR.

I NO WORRIES.

UH, SO, UH, I WORKED FOR COMPANIES, OUR COMMUNITY, UM, PARTNERS WITH ALL SORTS OF LOCAL ESTABLISHMENTS.

UH, WHEN WE'RE TOLD WHERE TO PUT OUT, WHEN YOU GUYS WANT TO EXPAND A ROAD, WE'RE NOT ASKS WHERE WE'D LIKE TO PUT OUR CABLE.

WE'RE COLD, WHERE TO PUT OUR CABLE.

YOU GUYS HAVE THE ABILITY TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO.

UM, I THINK THE ORBITEL PROJECT IS A GREAT PROJECT.

UH, IT'S GONNA BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE AND MONEY AND BUSINESSES TO OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, BUT, OR I WAS GONNA MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.

THE COUNCIL'S GONNA, I MEAN, THE CITY IS GOING TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY THROUGH TAXES.

WE'RE THE ONES BEING IMPACTED BY THIS.

I THINK THERE'S, UM, AN EXPRESSION THAT I ALWAYS TRY TO REMIND MYSELF WHEN I'M DOING BUDGETS FOR MY COMPANY, IS THAT PIGS GET FED, HOLDS HIS SLAUGHTER AND I THINK HE GOES, WE'RE BEING HOSPICE.

THANK YOU.

GOODBYE.

RICHARD MASON, MR. MASON.

OKAY.

EXCUSE ME.

MY NAME'S RICH MASON.

I AM A RESIDENT OF PINE LAKE 5, 1 70 SWEET PLACE.

UM, SO THE CITY PUT MONEY UP FOR BEAUTY USING A BEAUTIFICATION FUND TO JUSTIFY BURYING THE LINES ALONG CHANDLER HEIGHTS ROAD.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS ONCE IT GOT TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND IT GOES 200 FEET IN THE AIR, DID THEY BECOME BEAUTIFUL THEN? LIKE WHY DOES IT BECOME BEAUTIFUL WHEN IT GETS BY MY HOUSE? BUT IT WASN'T BEAUTIFUL TO GO THROUGH ALL THOSE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND THE CITY FOUND ITS FIT TO PAY FOR 2.7 MILES OF THAT.

UM, I WAS ON THE CALL WITH, OR THE MEETINGS WITH SRP.

UM, EARLIER THIS WEEK SRPS PIECE TALKING OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF THEIR FACE.

THEY'RE BLAMING YOU.

NOT THEM.

THEY'RE NOT POINTING THE FINGERS AT THEMSELVES.

THEY'RE BLAMING ALL OF YOU FOR NOT HAVING THOSE LINES BURIED.

THEY BLAME THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

I ASKED THEM, HAS ANYBODY CONTACTED THE RAILROAD TO ASK FOR AN EASEMENT ZERO ANSWER? SO WE DON'T, THEY'RE RECLAIMING THE RAILROAD.

YOU GUYS HAVE NOTES SAY OVER IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE RAILROAD WHEN YOU DO HAVE CONTROL OVER ARIZONA APP.

SO IF YOU WANT IT TO, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALIZE 0.7 MILES, THAT'S IT 0.7 MILES FROM WHERE IT GETS THE CHANNEL HEIGHTS TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GET TO THE SUBSTATION.

COME ON.

WE CAN FIND A WAY TO GET THAT LAST 0.7 MILES FUNDED, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S UNDER BEAUTIFICATION.

UM, THE RAILROAD NEEDS TO BE CONTACTED.

ONE LAST THING.

UM, I FLY IN AND OUT OF CHANDLER AIRPORT.

THAT IS CLASS THE AIRSPACE.

HAS ANYBODY CONTACTED THE FAA TO FIND OUT IF THESE HIGH 200 FOOT LINES ARE GONNA IMPACT THE FLIGHT LINE INTO CHANNEL OR AIRPORT, WHICH WE'RE SPENDING BILLIONS ON TO EXPAND THE AIRPORT FOR JETS.

THANK YOU, SIR.

BABA PETRO.

MR. PETRO.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

IF YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS TIME DEPENDS ON THE DAY.

AT LEAST 20 KIDS, THEY WILL BIKE RIDE JUST ALONG THAT LINE OF THE POWER LINE.

AND I GO BY CREATIVE TODAY AND I FIND THAT SOUND ALWAYS, UH, DISTURBING.

THE POWER LINES ARE BASICALLY LESS THAN 250 FEET FROM MY HOUSE.

UH, IT'S LIKE PUTTING INSTEAD OF A SINGLE STORY, A SKYSCRAPER NEXT TO MY HOUSE.

IF THE CITY COUNCIL CAN SPEND MONEY FOR 2.7 MILE, BUT IN THE LINES FOR SAKE OF BEAUTIFICATION AND YOU'RE AWARDING THE SKYSCRAPERS.

WHY NOT? DESPITE SEVEN MIND, WHAT HAVE WE DONE? TREAT US FAIRLY.

WHERE ARE YOU? THE LINES? IT IS HEALTH ISSUES.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS FROM THE SRP.

MY NAME IS DEREK LOGAN.

I'M TRYING FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.

COCONINO PLAYS A PILOT.

I'M ALSO A PRESIDENT VIOLENT.

I'VE BEEN PRESIDENT FOR ABOUT 13 YEARS.

I WAS INVOLVED HEAVILY IN 2013.

WHEN THIS CAME OUT, UM, I SAW A SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS.

WE HAVE LIKE A COUPLE OF YEARS OF DISCUSSIONS.

THERE'S BEEN NO DISCUSSIONS.

THIS CAME OUT IN JUNE.

WE'VE HAD NO PUBLIC PROCESS ON WHERE'S THE PUBLIC PROCESS.

YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING THAT REALLY GOT ME WAS IN THE CONTRACT YOU HAVE WITH THIS RP, IT SAYS, ITEM NUMBER TWO, CONSISTENT WITH DISAGREEMENT CITY WILL SUPPORT SRPS EFFORTS TO PERMIT CONSTRUCT.

THE PROJECT IS IMPACTED IN EXHIBITS TWO AND THREE ACTIVELY OPPOSE CONDITIONS INCONSISTENT WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO INTERACTIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND BY INTERVENING AND ACTIVELY SUPPORTING US ON THESE EFFORTS BEFORE THE COMMITTEE AND THE COMMISSION AND OTHER PERMITTING AUTHORITIES.

I FEEL IT NOT ONLY DID YOU NOT HAVE A POLLING PROCESS BEFORE THIS, THIS IS SAYING THAT YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO LISTEN TO US.

EVEN NOW.

I WANT TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS.

I THINK YOU GUYS WANT TO WORK WITH US.

I MOVED OUT OF CHANDLER.

I MEAN, I'VE LOSE A CHANDLER IN 1990.

I LEFT HER HOUSE INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNMENT FOR FOUR YEARS.

I GOT A JOB 40 MILES AWAY.

I WANTED TO LIVE IN CHANDLER.

I READ THE 1999 SOUTHEAST JANUARY PLANT.

THAT WAS A PLACE I WANTED TO LIVE.

I TOLD MY WIFE AND KIDS, THIS IS WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE.

THIS IS ALMOST LIKE UTOPIA.

CHANDO'S ONE OF THE BEST CITIES IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

I MEAN, IF NOT THE BEST, AND NOW THIS IS HAPPENING.

THIS IS REALLY PAINFUL.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

WE CAN NOT ADDRESS THERE.

I CAN ASK THE QUESTION FOR THE SAME MANAGER AND I COULD PERFECTLY DO THAT BY CERTAINLY CAN.

SO CITY MANAGER, UM, I HEARD A LOT OF QUESTIONS TONIGHT.

UH, I WANNA, UH, DO WANT A DETAILED REPORT ON WHY WE CAN'T GO UNDER ALCATEL.

WHAT IS THE EXACT REASONS WHY I DO NOT KNOW.

AND I BEEN ASKING THIS QUESTION, UH, FOR SRP NOW, WHY THEY CAN'T GO INTO NEAT.

THE RAILROADS WHAT'S INHIBITING THEM FROM DOING THAT BECAUSE WHEN I WAS OUT THERE LAST WEEK OR THE VISITING, THE AREA MYSELF THIS WEEK, ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS, I ASKED THAT SAME QUESTION.

THAT'S A BIG QUESTION FOR THEM.

UM, HAVE WE LOOKED AT THE RESIDENTIAL AREA THAT ALSO CAME UP FROM ONE OF THE RESIDENTS, UH, LEADING THE CHARGE HERE? CAN WE ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA? AND THEN FINALLY, WHY CAN'T WE LOOK UNDER ARIZONA AVENUE? WHAT EXACTLY IS PROHIBITING US FROM GOING UNDER ARIZONA AVENUE? SO IF YOU COULD GET THOSE QUESTIONS, OKAY, THANK YOU.

MA'AM I WOULD LET YOU ADDRESS THE CITY MANAGER AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU, JOSH.

I MEAN, YOU, YOU SAT HERE JUST LIKE WE DID, RIGHT? WE'VE BEEN CALLED NAMES.

[00:35:01]

WE WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT, UM, THOSE WHO SPOKE AND SPOKE VERY WELL OF THEIR FEELINGS AND HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN AND ALL I THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

BUT RIGHT NOW CITY MANAGER ARE, YOU HAVE HEARD IF WE, UH, IF WE, ONE OF THOSE CONCERNS, UM, I WILL REALLY CHARGE YOU AT THIS POINT TO OPEN DIALOGUE AND MAKE SURE THAT RESIDENTS ARE HEARD.

AND WHAT I'M HEARING TODAY IS THAT THERE WAS NOT A DUE PROCESS, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION HAPPENED BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE AT THE TABLE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS, I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT THEY WERE COMMUNICATION AND THERE WILL BE COMMUNICATION AND THAT IT WAS HAPPY.

IT WAS REALLY DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE ONBOARD AND THEN THINGS CAN MOVE FORWARD.

SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE TAKE THIS AT HEART AND MAKE IT HAPPEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UM, WE SAT IN A ROOM AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND STAFF PRESENTED THE, THE, UM, THE PLAN TO US.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ALL SEVEN OF US SPOKE DIRECTLY TO STAFF WAS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE NEIGHBORS, TO MAKE SURE THAT SRP COMMUNICATED WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND INTEL COMMUNICATED WITH THE NEIGHBORS CLEAR THAT IT HASN'T HAPPENED.

SOME OF THE FLYERS THAT I'VE RECEIVED.

AND SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I'VE HAD WITH MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS HAVE EXPRESSED THESE, UM, THESE THINGS ABOUT THE, THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

AND NOW THAT I'M HEARING THAT SRP IS POINTING THEIR FINGER AT US, UH, WHEN WE HAVE NO SAY OVER WHAT GOES UNDERNEATH THE RAILROAD TRACKS, WHAT I'D LIKE TO FIND OUT IS WE'VE ASKED THE RAILROAD, LIKE AS COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO MENTIONED, IF WE TALKED TO THE RAILROAD ABOUT THIS, IF WE'VE TALKED TO THE VARIOUS AGILE WAYS NOW, I GUESS WE HAVE A NEW OPTION THAT WE CAN GO AND PILATE THE STATES.

AND THEN I ALSO WANT TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE HEALTH HAZARDS.

UM, THAT'S COME UP MORE THAN ONCE AND I'M PHONE CALLS THAT I'VE HAD.

AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN, UM, I REMEMBER WHEN MY KIDS PLAYED SOCCER AT POLOMA AND THEY HAD THE 2 65 K OVER THEIR HEADS AND THEY WERE EIGHT, NINE YEARS OLD.

AND I, AND I'D SEE THE DEAD BIRDS AND I, AND I COULD HEAR THE BUZZING.

IT'S A THING, IT'S A REAL THING.

AND WHILE, UM, I WASN'T AWARE THEN IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES AND HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS AND I DIDN'T KNOW ANY DIFFERENT.

SO I'D LIKE TO SEE A HEALTH STUDY ON THAT, FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT.

AND, UM, OTHER THAN THAT, UM, I WANT TO FIND OUT WHY SOP IS POINTING THE FINGER AT US TOO.

THANK YOU.

SOLOMON AGAIN.

HI, GOSH.

UM, SO MY MAIN THING IS, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT WE SUPPORT WAS RMS, THEN THE COMMUNICATION, UM, THERE IS, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST FROM MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE ARE SOME THINGS WITH THE RAILROAD THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE SOME BETTER COMMUNICATION ON BECAUSE THERE IS SOME EASEMENT THERE AND WE KNOW RAILROAD IS VERY CHALLENGING, UM, TO CONTACT, TO DEAL WITH AND THIS A FEDERALIST TIME RELIEVE AS CD.

AND I WANT TO KNOW ALSO, ARE WE GETTING THE COMMUNICATION OUT ABOUT THE, UM, THE LINE COMMITTEE, UM, THE LINE COMMITTEE THAT IS ACTUALLY THE CONTACT FOR WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THESE LINES AND, UM, WHEN PUBLIC HAVE DISAPPROVAL, THAT LINE COMMITTEE IS ACTUALLY, UH, IN CONVERSATION BECAUSE SOME OF THIS MAY BE OUT OF OUR HANDS IN A SENSE, BUT ALSO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, EVEN WHEN THERE WAS ON THE AVENUE, I KNOW THAT THE STATE HIGHWAY, I THINK THE STATE HIGHWAY, THE STATE OWNS THE ARIZONA AVENUE.

SO EVEN WITH THE SUGGESTION OF ANY TYPE OF LINES BEING BURIED INTO THE STATE, WHAT DOES THE STATE, UM, SAY? SO I THINK THAT THERE IS A LOT OF LACK OF COMMUNICATION, LACK OF NOT, UM, MAYBE THERE'S SOME KNOWLEDGE THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT THERE MORE.

AND THEN ALSO CAN WE GET A COPY OF WHAT SRP IS ACTUALLY PROVIDING TO OUR NEIGHBORS SO WE CAN HAVE THAT IN OUR INBOX SO WE CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DIFFERENT OPTIONS IF THERE'S SOME OTHER OPTIONS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, UM, PLEASE SEND US THE NEXT TIME THEY HAVE SRP HAS A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING.

LET US ALL KNOW WHEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE OUT, THE OPEN HOUSE THAT THEY'RE, THAT THEY'RE SAYING THAT IT'S CALLED OPEN HOUSE OR VIRTUAL HOUSE.

I DON'T WANT TO TRY TO, I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING OUT THERE, UM, FOR THIS PROCESS.

SO THANKS.

YEAH.

HOWEVER, THERE WAS, UH, UM, LIKE I ALWAYS MENTIONED ENGINEER DATA GUY, AND THERE WAS A COUPLE OF STATEMENTS MADE THAT SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAD MENTIONED ABOUT SOME OF THE OPTIONS AND GETTING SOME MORE DETAILS, UM, THAT WE HAD RECEIVED AT THE, MAYBE AT A HIGH LEVEL FROM SRP PREVIOUSLY, UH, THAT MAYBE WE DO NEED TO GET A LITTLE DEEPER DIVE.

OTHER THAN IT'S BEEN SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, THE URGENCY WITH THE CHIPS, WE'RE CERTAINLY FEELING THAT WITH THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY AND OTHERS.

UM, BUT THIS IS OUR COMMUNITY AND MOST GREATLY IMPACTED.

AND THIRDLY IS THE, THE DOLLARS.

AND I DON'T KNOW, HAVE WE ASKED SRP CAN THIS GETS STRETCHED OUT TO 10 YEARS AS OPPOSED TO WHATEVER IS THERE.

WE DO WANT TO THANK OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND SOUTHWEST GAS FOR WORKING TOGETHER QUICKLY TO MAKE SURE THAT HOMES AND BUSINESSES IN THE AREA REMAINED SAFE.

I KNOW THAT THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE, THAT WE'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS AND OUR CONTINUED PRAYER AND WELL-WISHES TO THOSE WHO WERE INJURED, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO WERE IMPACTED.

IT'S SCARY IN A CITY ANYWHERE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN.

BUT, UM, I'M GRATEFUL THAT OF ALL THE FIRST RESPONDERS THAT COULD RESPOND, WE HAD OURS.

SO THANK YOU.

SECONDLY, WE HAVE AN HOA ROUND TABLE COMING UP ON SEPTEMBER 14TH.

WE WILL ALSO DISCUSS THE 10 THINGS THAT GET BOARDS INTO TROUBLE MOST OFTEN.

AND LASTLY, THIS ROUND TABLE WILL PROVIDE TIPS AND TRICKS TO EFFECTIVELY TURN YOUR BOARD AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW INTO A STRONG, EFFECTIVE BOARD.

I THINK EVEN THIS WEEK, I'VE RECEIVED COMMENTS FROM DISGRUNTLED PEOPLE IN THEIR HOS.

I HOPE YOU'RE WATCHING TONIGHT ONLINE, AND I HOPE THAT YOU ATTEND THIS NHOS THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO ADDRESS WHETHER IT'S, WHETHER IT'S THE, THE GRASS OF A NEIGHBOR OR SOMETHING ELSE IN YOUR RITUAL WAY.

BUT LASTLY WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE CENSUS RESULTS THAT RECENTLY CAME OUT.

THE DATA INCLUDE POPULATION AND HOUSING UNIT COUNTS, RACE, ETHNICITY, AGE, AND HOUSING, VACANCY RATES.

THE CENSUS RESULTS REVEALED POPULATION OF TOTAL OF 275,987, WHICH WAS HIGHER THAN IT WAS PROJECTED BY OUR CITY STAFF AND MAG STAFF IS NOW WORKING ON THE US CENSUS COUNT QUESTION RESOLUTION PROGRAM TO ENSURE HOUSING AND POPULATION COUNTS ARE CORRECTLY ALLOCATED TO THE 2020 CENSUS TABULATION BLOCKS.

AND, UH, WE LOOK FORWARD TO CLOSING THIS DOWN WITH THE REST OF THE INFORMATION COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS.

AND I AM CONSTANTLY, UM, PRAYING WHEN I GOT THE MESSAGE AND FOUND THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED.

MY HEART WAS TRULY, UH, PERPLEX, UH, AND EVERY ASPECT OF THE WAY, BECAUSE THOSE ARE OUR COLLEAGUES.

THOSE ARE STIMULANTS, THOSE ARE FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW THAT I'M PRAYING FOR THEM.

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY CAN, YOU KNOW, DO SOMETHING FLOWERS OR SOMETHING ON DURING THIS TOUGH TIME.

AND THEN LASTLY, I WANT TO THANK ALL THE CONSTITUENTS THAT CAME OUT TODAY TO EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS.

I THINK PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IS MOST IMPORTANTLY IS WHY RAN FOR OFFICE.

WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING, YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP, YOU NEED TO USE YOUR VOICES BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, THEN NO ONE KNOWS THAT YOU ARE, UM, CARING ABOUT THAT ISSUE AND, UM, CONTINUE TO COME TO THE MEETINGS AND CONTINUING TO BE INVOLVED AND, YOU KNOW, SHARE YOUR PASSIONS AND YOUR THOUGHTS.

AND WE'RE HERE TO SERVE YOU.

YOU ELECTED US, WE'RE HERE TO SERVE YOU.

SO WOULD THAT BE TO SAY, THANK YOU, FIRST OFF, I WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON TO COUNCILOR HARRIS A STATEMENT YET, YOU KNOW, IT'S UNFORTUNATE AGAIN WHEN CITRUS OR HE GETS INVOLVED WHEN, WHEN SOMETHING NEGATIVE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD MAY BE HAPPENING, WHETHER IT PERCEIVED REAL OR OTHERWISE.

UM, STAY INVOLVED IN THE CITY, YOU KNOW, STAY ENGAGED, UH, INTERACT WITH US.
