UM, NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS, UH, THAT'S BEFORE ANDRE TAKES EVERYBODY OUT FOR ICE CREAM, I BELIEVE HE'S PAYING I HERE OR STATUS.

[10. Unscheduled Public Appearances]

UH, LISA, PLEASE COME TO THE DAYS YOU, UH, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

SO PLEASE SHARE YOUR CONCERNS WITH US AS UNSCHEDULED.

WE CANNOT INTERACT WITH YOU, BUT WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

HI, I'M LISA SNYDER RESIDENT AT 4 0 7 7 SOUTH SABRINA DRIVE.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION COUNSEL.

I'M A CHANDLER RESIDENT, AS I JUST STATED.

I'M SPEAKING TODAY ABOUT A SAFETY INCIDENT I EXPERIENCED AT BOGLE JUNIOR HIGH ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10TH.

MY SON IS AN EIGHTH GRADER THEY'RE IN EACH DAY BETWEEN ME AND MY HUSBAND.

WE DROP HIM OFF AND PICK HIM UP LAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, I HAPPENED TO ARRIVE 10 MINUTES EARLY FOR PICKUP.

AND AT THE TIME I WITNESSED SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, THREE MALES, APPROXIMATELY 18 TO 20 YEARS OLD, EXITED A VEHICLE THAT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE.

ONE MALE WAS CARRYING A BACKPACK.

IT LOOKED EMPTY LIGHT, NO BOOKS, NO SPORTS EQUIPMENT, NOTHING THAT REALLY MADE SENSE.

I CONTACTED THE SCHOOL TWICE IMMEDIATELY ONCE TO ALERT SECURITY, THAT THREE SUSPICIOUS MALES WERE WALKING TOWARDS THE WEST SIDE ENTRANCE AND I LOST VISIBILITY.

AND A SECOND TIME TO LET SECURITY KNOW THE MALES HAD REAPPEARED AND LEFT WITHOUT A STUDENT OR A PARENT.

I PROVIDED THE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION AND A LICENSE PLATE, AND I WAS IMMEDIATELY TRANSFERRED TO THE VOICEMAIL OF SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER TYLER SERVICE.

FOR ME, I'M GETTING EMOTIONAL FOR BEING LEAVING A VOICEMAIL IS NOT ENOUGH THAT NIGHT.

I DID NOT SLEEP.

I KEPT THINKING ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE DOING THERE AND WHY THE BACKPACK IN THE MORNING.

I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SENDING MY SON TO SCHOOL UNTIL THE INFORMATION I HAD REACHED SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE ACTION.

[00:10:01]

I DID NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH AN OFFICER.

SO MY HUSBAND DECIDED TO DRIVE TO THE SCHOOL AND RELAY THE INFORMATION IN PERSON TO A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER TYLER SERVICE.

AND I THINK OFFICER SERVICE FOR HIS SWIFT RESPONSE TO MY HUSBAND'S REQUEST TO SPEAK TO HIM IN PERSON AND TO TAKE THE INFORMATION I PROVIDED BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY, OFFICER SERVICE HAD IDENTIFIED THE MALES AND TAKE AN ACTION.

MY INSTINCTS WERE ACCURATE.

ONE OF THE MALES HAD ALREADY BEEN CRIMINALLY TRESPASSED FROM EVERY CHANDLER SCHOOL DISTRICT CAMPUS AND HAD NO REASON TO BE AT BOGLE JUNIOR HIGH.

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE MALES WERE CARRYING IN THAT BACKPACK, BUT THINKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES MAKES ME SICK.

IT TOOK ME 16 HOURS TO GET THE INFORMATION THAT I HAD INTO THE HANDS OF A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL, AN SRO THAT COULD TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT OUR KIDS.

IT TOOK 16 HOURS BECAUSE I ASSUME THAT SRO SERVICE WAS ABSENT THE DAY, THE SCHOOL JUST SIMPLY TRANSFERRED ME TO HIS VOICEMAIL.

AND THIS INCIDENT FORCED ME TO LEARN THAT THERE IS NO BACKUP PLAN FOR COVERAGE WHEN AN SRO IS ABSENT AND NOT EVERY SCHOOL HAS AN SRO.

AND THIS IS ALARMING.

I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT SRO COVERAGE WAS FULL-TIME REGARDLESS OF ABSENCE WITH THE CURRENT STATE OF SCHOOL SAFETY IN OUR COUNTRY.

AND WHEN INFORMATION SHARING AND TIME CAN WORK FOR US OR AGAINST US, WE CANNOT BE COMPLACENT.

WE MUST DO BETTER.

I AM HERE TO ENCOURAGE A HIGHER LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM.

I AM HERE TO SAY THAT 16 HOURS IS FAR TOO LONG TO SHARE CRITICAL INFORMATION COUNSEL, EVERY SCHOOL CAMPUS IN THE CITY OF CHANDLER DESERVES FULL TIME SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER COVERAGE, PLEASE MAKE THIS YOUR PRIORITY.

THANK YOU.

WELL, WE CANNOT CONNECT OR, OR COMMENT WITH THE UNSCHEDULED.

AND I DO KNOW THAT, UH, LISA I'VE MET WITH OUR POLICE CHIEF AND WE ARE ENGAGING ON THAT LEVEL SAY YEAH.

MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

YOU'RE CORRECT.

MAYOR.

UH, CHIEF DUGGAN HAS ALREADY SPOKEN WITH MS. SNYDER AND WE ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION TO HER CONCERNS ON AN ONGOING BASIS.

[ Current Events 1. Mayor's Announcements 2. Council's Announcements 3. City Manager's Announcements]

I WILL START, I'VE GOT A FEW.

SO FIRST OF ALL, UH, WE'RE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR OUR, FOR OUR CITY DAY COMING UP ON OCTOBER 23RD, WE WILL BE PAINTING HOMES, WAITING YARDS, AND CLEANING UP A NEIGHBORHOOD IN WEST CHANDLER, THE PEPPERWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD THIS YEAR.

AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER OR FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION FOR YOURSELF OR GROUPS THAT YOU REPRESENT, PLEASE CHECK OUT FOR OUR CITY CHANDLER.ORG FOR MORE INFORMATION.

SECONDLY, UM, IT'S BEEN, UH, TWO WEEKS AND TWO DAYS SINCE THE PRIMARY ELECTION, AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ALL CANDIDATES WHO WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, UH, IN THIS LAST RACE TO REMOVE THEIR SIGNS FROM OUR CHANDLER STREETS.

UM, THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE I JUST ON THE DRIVE HERE.

I SAW A, A LOCAL RACE SIGN, A, UH, A CONGRESSIONAL, A ATTORNEY GENERAL AND MAYORAL TO MAY RL.

SO I WOULD APPRECIATE AS THE REST OF OUR COMMUNITY WOULD, UH, OUR CANDIDATES WHO WERE, WHO ARE NOT GOING ON, IF THEY WOULD REMOVE THEIR SIGNS AND AUDIENCE, UH, YOU CAN, IF YOU'RE ONE OF THEM OR YOUR FRIENDS, PLEASE REMOVE THEIR SIGNS AND HELP THEM, OR GIVE THEM A CALL OR SEND THEM AN EMAIL AND ASK THEM TO, UH, DO THE SAME THIRD, UH, ON AUGUST 24TH, IT'S UKRAINIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY.

IT WAS JUST OVER 30 YEARS ON AUGUST 24TH THAT UKRAINE DECLARED ITS INDEPENDENCE FROM THE SOVIET UNION.

AND TODAY THEY'RE IN A WAR AGAIN.

SO OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED ON BOTH SIDES AND, UH, OUR HEARTS AND OUR PRAYERS CONTINUE.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, AND TODAY I WANT TO WISH A HAPPY LABOR DAY

[00:15:01]

WE WILL BE MEETING UNTIL AFTERWARDS IN SEPTEMBER.

SO, UH, PLEASE STAY SAFE ON THIS LONG WEEKEND.

ENJOY IT WITH YOUR FAMILY, WATCH YOUR KIDS AROUND WATER AND BE CAREFUL ON OUR STREETS.

SO WITH THAT COUNCIL MEMBER LOPEZ, NO THANK YOU.

I KNOW NO ANNOUNCEMENTS.

YOU TOOK MY, MY WATER ADVISEMENT, UH, AWAY FROM ME, BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT.

SAY IT BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE.

JUST THE MAKE SURE WE WATCH OUR KIDS AROUND WATER OR OUT A BETTER TO SAY VICE MAYOR.

THANK YOU, BEAR.

UM, YES.

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY.

AND UH, TO HIS DISCUSSION ABOUT WATER, UH, MY LITTLE GRANDDAUGHTER TURNED TWO YEARS OLD AND SHE SWIMS AND SHE SCARES ME TO DEATH, BUT SHE JUMPS IN THE POOL AND SHE GOES, HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME AND SWIM TO THE EDGE AND CLIMBS OUT OF THE POOL.

SO THAT'S ABOUT, UH, SWIM LESSONS AND HELPING KIDS LEARN AND KEEPING YOUR EYES ON THEM AND, UH, AND, UH, JUST BE SAFE AND ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY.

THANK YOU.

GOT SOME MEMBER STORY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT WATER TOO, BUT THAT'S SUCH A GREAT STORY.

UM, EARLIER THIS WEEK, THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION ANNOUNCED A TIER TWO SHORTAGE DECLARATION FOR THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER BASIN.

I'M SURE MANY OF US HAVE HEARD ABOUT THAT.

FORTUNATELY, IN PREPARATION FOR THIS SHORTAGE, CHANDLER DECLARED A STAGE ONE A FEW MONTHS BACK.

AND, UH, WE HAVE, UM, WE'RE EXPECTING A REDUCTION IN THE COLORADO RIVER SUPPLIES TO OUR CITY, BUT IT WILL NOT IMPACT OUR OVERALL WATER PORTFOLIO.

WE HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS FOR DECADES.

WE HAVE, UM, AQUIFERS, WE HAVE PURCHASED WATER RIGHTS FROM OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY, UH, HEALER, RIVER INDIANS, AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO AS WE'RE PREPARING FOR THOSE SHORTAGES, UM, AND WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT A SLIDE RIGHT HERE.

WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT OVER THE PAST DECADES, WE HAVE BEEN LOWERING OUR WATER USAGE OVER OVER TIME.

AND SO OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEING MINDFUL OF, UH, WATER, UH, UM, CONSERVATION AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO SO.

UM, SO IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO PROVIDE CONSERVATION EDUCATION AND RESOURCES TO OUR RESIDENTS, AND WE WILL BE DOING THAT.

AND HERE'S A FEW WAYS IF YOU'RE WATCHING AND IF YOU'RE HEADING HOME TONIGHT THAT YOU CAN FIX AND FIND LEAKS, UTILIZE OUR FREE WATER WASTE.

WHY SITE? WE HAVE A WATER SITE ON OUR WEBSITE, SAY THAT THREE TIMES FAST, UH, TO REDUCE OUTDOOR WATER USE.

WE HAVE REBATES TO INSTALL, TO INSTALL SMART IRRIGATION CONTROLLERS AND REBATES TO RE REPLACE GRASS WITH LOW WATER.

USE LANDSCAPING, TRY TO SKIP, MAYBE OVERSEEDING YOUR LAWN THIS YEAR.

LET'S KIND OF GET THROUGH THIS UNTIL THE, THE, THE LAKES FILL UP AGAIN AND THE RESERVOIRS, AND THEN, UM, USE OUR ONLINE WATER CALCULATOR TO OPTIMIZE YOUR WATER USE.

AND THEN HOA IS, CAN REDUCE WATER BY REGISTERING FOR OUR LARGER LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION EFFICIENCY PROGRAM.

LEARN MORE@CHANDLERAC.GOV BACKSLASH WATER.

AND YES, WE WILL BE COMMUNICATING WITH OUR BUSINESSES AS WELL AS THEY'RE A LARGE USER OF WATER, BUT ON THIS TOGETHER, WE CAN, UH, WE CAN MAYBE CUT SOME OF OUR USAGE AND IMPROVE, UH, THE OUTCOME FOR EVERYONE.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S AN UMBRELLA.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WELL, IT'S CONTIGO TIME.

I KNOW LAST YEAR WE TOOK THE FIRST PRICE.

WE BROUGHT HOME A BEAUTIFUL TROPHY AND THIS YEAR WE'RE HOPING TO DO THE SAME THING.

SEPTEMBER EIGHT CHANDLER CONTIGO STORY WALK IS GOING TO BE, SISTER WILL BE ANNVILLE AT AMBER PARK AND THE WOOD PARK.

UH, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WHAT LED TO THIS HOLIDAY.

THE FIRST PARADE WAS ORGANIZED IN 1882, AS PEOPLE PROTESTED, TERRIBLE WORK CONDITIONS.
