Council Focus Area(s):]

IS DENNIS OST AVAILABLE PLEASE? HE IS.

THERE, HE IS.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, I'M DENNIS OST.

I'M THE CITY OF CHANDLER'S, UH, FIBER AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS UTILITY FRANCHISE MANAGER.

UH, TONIGHT I'M GONNA PRESENT TO YOU ON THE RIGHT OF WAY USE APPLICATION FOR LIGHT SOURCE COMMUNICATIONS.

LIGHT SOURCE WILL BE PROVIDING HIGH BANDWIDTH FIBER-BASED COMMUNICATIONS, UH, AND RELATED COMPETITIVE DATA SERVICES FOR HIGH BANDWIDTH CUSTOMERS SUCH AS LARGE BUSINESSES, COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES.

UH, IN THE FIRST YEAR THEY'LL BUILD A COUPLE OF BACKBONE PROJECTS, WHICH WILL ALLOW THEM TO BUILD OUT TO THEIR TARGET CUSTOMER BASE.

AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

YEAH, COUNCILMAN ORLANDO? THANK YOU MARY DENNIS.

THANK YOU.

AND, AND DAN BROWN FOR WORKING AND, AND, UH, OBVIOUSLY, UM, KELLY, ROB, THE, UH, CITY ATTORNEY WORKING ON THIS ISSUE.

I, I UNDERSTAND THERE, UH, WAS SOME CONCERNS OF THE, THE ORIGINAL SCOPE OF THESE, UH, AGREEMENTS PER OVERALL, AND I'M GLAD WE SEE WE'VE GOT SOME OTHER IDEAS HERE.

UM, THE, THE, THE QUESTION I WANNA MAKE SURE WE AND I UNDERSTAND IS THAT THESE HAVE TRANSFERABLE CAUSE UH, CLAUSES.

SO IF THE PROJECT'S NOT COMPLETE OR IF THE PROJECT IS SOLD, WE WILL STILL BE INDEMNIFIED.

IS THAT CORRECT? UH, MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, YES.

THE, UH, THE LICENSES HAVE CLAUSES IN 'EM FOR, UH, TRANSFER OF ASSIGNMENT AND ALSO FOR, UH, SECURITY BONDS OR, UH, LETTER OF CREDIT.

I UNDERSTAND NOW.

SO IT COULD BE BASED UPON THE, THE LINEAR MILEAGE OR THE, UH, 2% OF THE GROSS REVENUE, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.

IS THAT CORRECT? JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT.

MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, IT'S WHICHEVER IS LESS, OH, LESS SO IT EFFECTIVELY, UH, IT'S WHETHER THE, THE LINEAR FOOT FEE OR THE, THE 2% GROSS REVENUES, WHICHEVER IS LESS.

AND THE FINAL QUESTION I WANNA MAKE SURE, AND THEN THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION OF, OF HOW THE TRENCHING WILL OCCUR.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE AS ACTUALLY ON THE STREETS, IF ANYTHING? MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

SO THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY, SINCE THEY'RE COMING IN DOING A BACKBONE PROJECT, PREDOMINANTLY THEY'LL BE DOING, UH, USING CONVENTIONAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING METHODS OR CONVENTIONAL TRENCHING METHODS IN ARTERIAL STREETS.

THE, UH, MICRO TRENCHING THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, UH, IN CHANDLER HAS ONLY BEEN APPROVED ON LOCAL AND COLLECTOR STREETS DUE TO THE, THE SHALLOW DEPTH REQUIREMENTS.

AND I GUESS THIS IS MORE FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY OR, OR DAN, BUT WILL ALL THE CURRENT, UH, UH, LICENSE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE BE UPDATED TO REFLECT THESE NEW CHANGES, OR THIS IS JUST THE FIRST ONE IF I MAY.

MAYOR, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, UM, THIS IS A NEW AGREEMENT AND IT'S BASED ON KIND OF THE NEW, UM, MODEL WE'RE LOOKING AT.

UM, WE EXPECT TO BE BRINGING, UM, SOME REVISED AGREEMENTS FORWARD TO, TO REFLECT THIS SIMILAR, UM, PAYMENT MODEL.

UM, WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH A NUMBER OF TELECOMS TO BRING THEM CURRENT AND THEN BRING THAT FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL.

OKAY, GREAT.

AND THEN HOPEFULLY START SEEING SOME REVENUE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

THANK YOU.

GOOD JOB GUYS.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS RELATED TO THIS SENATE, UH, VICE MAYOR?

[00:25:01]

UH, JUST HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS JUST BECAUSE I WANNA MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTAND THIS CORRECTLY.

IN TERMS OF THE MICRO TRENCHING, WHAT EXACTLY, WHAT'S THE DEPTHS OF LEVELS THAT WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT MICRO TRENCHING, CAN YOU KIND OF GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND EXPLAINING THAT? SURE.

MAYOR, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS, WE'VE, UH, APPROVED ON LOCAL STREETS, WHICH ARE YOUR TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL STREETS THAT THE HOUSES USUALLY FACE.

UH, THE DEPTHS FOR THOSE ARE EIGHT INCHES MINIMUM COVER, AND THE INTENT THERE IS TO PUT US BELOW OUR TYPICAL SUBGRADE.

UM, WHEREAS IN OTHER CITIES, UH, LIKE MESA, THEY'VE APPROVED A SIX INCH DEPTH, WHICH STILL KEEPS IT JUST BARELY INTO THAT, UH, POTENTIAL SUBGRADE FOR WHAT? FOR WHAT OUR CHANDLER ENGINEERING DETAILS REQUIRE ON THE COLLECTOR STREETS THAT FEED OFF OF THE ARTERIALS INTO THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS.

UH, THOSE DEPTHS ARE 12 INCHES MINIMUM DEPTH OF COVER.

SO AGAIN, OUR COLLECTOR STREETS CARRY A LITTLE BIT HEAVIER TRAFFIC, SO WE'VE GOT A, A SLIGHTLY DEEPER SUBGRADE ON THOSE.

AND SO WE REQUIRE ON THOSE STREETS FOR THEM TO GO SLIGHTLY DEEPER.

SO IN OUR, IN OUR AREAS THAT HAS ALLEYWAYS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, ARE, WE ARE TRYING TO, ARE, WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ROUTING THINGS THROUGH OUR ALLEYS VERSUS ON OUR ARTERIAL STREETS.

THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW.

UH, THE INDUSTRY, WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY CAME TO US WITH THIS, THEY PRESENTED IT AS A, THIS NEEDS TO BE AT THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT, UH, KIND OF INSTALLATION.

AND AT THE MOMENT WE'RE GOING THROUGH REVIEWING AND HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM ABOUT IS THIS REALLY NEED TO BE AT THE EDGE OF PAYMENT OR CAN WE RELOCATE THOSE INTO THE HOURS? YEAH, I JUST KIND OF WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UM, AND JOSH YOU CAN, UM, SUPPORT THIS CONVERSATION.

I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THERE'S MULTIPLE DEVELOPERS, MULTIPLE ENTITIES WHO WANT TO OFFER FIBER OPTICS AND WANT TO, UH, DO THIS TYPE OF TRENCHING.

WE DID HAVE A NEIGHBOR THAT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MICRO TRENCHING.

I REALLY WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS MORE CLOSELY AND LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT THAT IS TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WORKING TO TOGETHER IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT IS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE THAT THE LAST RESIDENT CAME TO SPEAK TO US ABOUT.

YEAH.

MR. MAYOR, UH, VICE MAYOR, WE DID PROVIDE, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO YOU IN A MEMO FORMAT.

UM, WE ARE LOOKING, AS MR. S MENTIONED AT THIS ISSUE, SO ALI'S ALSO HAVE THEIR OWN UNIQUE CHALLENGES.

THERE'S QUITE A FEW OTHER UTILITIES ALSO IN THOSE ALLEYS AS WELL.

SO AS MR. OZ MENTIONED, WE'RE LOOKING ON KIND OF A CASE BY CASE BASIS WITH EACH DEVELOPER, EACH FIBER COMPANY DETERMINE IF THAT IS FEASIBLE AND IF IS SO, WE CAN CERTAINLY BRING THAT BACK TO YOU FOR SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, UM, THAT WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT, UM, OUR DEVELOPERS ARE LIKE, HEY, YOU'RE ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN WITH WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT THEN YOU'RE DENYING MINES.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WHATEVER WE DO THAT IS, IS FAIR ACROSS THE BOARD AND EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS AND THE NEIGHBOR FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT AS WELL.

THANK YOU.

SO IF RYAN BALK OR LEAH POWELL CAN COME UP, UH, DID NOT HIT THE RIGHT BUTTON.

EXCUSE ME ONE MINUTE.

DYLAN PLEASE.

I'LL LET DYLAN GO AHEAD AND GET THIS STARTED.

I ALWAYS HAVE THIS CHALLENGE.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, BEFORE YOU TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA START WITH THE HOME CONSORTIUM FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVE OR THE HOME FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVE THROUGH CONSORTIUM.

SO WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THE 24 25 UH, OR PLAN TO USE OUR HOME FUNDS.

UM, AS I SAID BEFORE, CHANDLER IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY FOR THESE FUNDS.

WE ARE PART OF THE CONSORTIUM AND YOU SEE BEFORE YOU THE LIST OF THE OTHER MEMBERS.

THERE'S NINE OF US IN TOTAL AS PART OF THE CONSORTIUM.

HOME IS FOCUSED ON HOUSING, IT IS ON FOCUSED ON CREATING DECENT, SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THE GOALS AND PRIORITIES THAT WE SET WITH THOSE FUNDS ARE IN, IN ALIGNED WITH THAT AND IT'S FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE LOWER MODERATE INCOME.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS THIS YEAR WE'RE BASING ON OUR HOME ALLOCATIONS FROM LAST YEAR AS WE DO NOT HAVE HUD'S FINAL NUMBER.

WE DO ANTICIPATE GETTING THAT WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, BUT FOR NOW WE WILL BASE IT ON THE DOLLAR AMOUNT RECEIVED THIS LAST YEAR.

WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THESE FUNDS BE USED FOR OUR TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

THIS IS WHERE WE HOUSE UP TO 25 CLIENTS THAT WERE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

THEY HAVE A TWO YEAR VOUCHER WHILE THEY WORK ON EITHER SELF-SUFFICIENCY OR MAINTAINING A PERMANENT VOUCHER.

[00:30:01]

AND UM, ONE THING I'D LIKE TO ADD IS WE DO NOT RECEIVE THE CASE MANAGEMENT DOLLARS THROUGH HUD, BUT WE DO USE OUR HOUSING STABILITY TEAM THAT WE ARE SUPPLEMENTING WITH OTHER GRANT FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO DO THE WRAPAROUND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR OUR TENANTS IN THE TBRA PROGRAM.

AND THEN THE SMALL PIECE OF PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION IS ONLY A PORTION OF WHAT IS ALLOWED FOR AN ADMINISTRATION AS MAJORITY OF THE ADMINISTRATION FUNDS DO STAY WITH MARICOPA COUNTY FOR ADMINISTERING THE OVERALL HOME PROGRAM.

WE HAVE A PARTICIPATION PLAN THAT WE PARTICIPATE IN WITH THE COUNTY.

WE ARE PART OF THEIR ANNUAL PLAN, CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND THEIR PARTICIPATION PLAN.

WE HELD PUBLIC HEARINGS.

WE DO NOT RECEIVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT.

YOU WILL VOTE ON THE ITEM ON THE 18TH AND I WILL NOTE THAT YOU'LL HAVE AN UPDATED ATTACHMENT ON THE 18TH FOR BOTH THIS AND CDBG THAT REFLECTS THE FACT THAT NO COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

AND THEN WE WILL SUBMIT OUR PLAN TO HUD IN MAY.

OKAY.

ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU MAYOR.

APPRECIATE THAT THIS WAS REALLY, UH, INSIGHTFUL BECAUSE I WANTED TO FIND OUT, UH, FROM YOU THE MONEY THAT WE RECEIVE, DO WE HAVE SPECIFIC THING THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH THEM? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE TALK ABOUT HOUSING RIGHT BROADLY AND HERE IN CHANDLER WE HAVE SPECIFIC THING THAT WE DO AND I WANTED YOU TO KIND OF EXPLAIN THAT SO PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT WE DO WITH THE MONEY WE RECEIVE.

THANK YOU.

YES, YES, THANK YOU.

THROUGH THE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS.

UM, BECAUSE THE HOME FUNDS ARE RELATIVELY A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY OF ONLY JUST A LITTLE OVER $400,000, WE REALLY DO TRY TO MAXIMIZE THOSE DOLLARS.

SO THAT'S WHY WE PUT THOSE FUNDS DIRECTED TO OUR TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING THAT PROGRAM SO STABLY FOR MANY YEARS, WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN IT.

WE SEE THE DIFFERENCE THAT IT'S MAKING, SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TAKING THAT MONEY AND CONTINUING TO INVEST IT IN A VERY STABLE PROGRAM THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

IF, CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE SERVED WITH THAT MONEY? UM, BETWEEN END OF LAST YEAR AND BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR OR ACTUALLY THE MONEY WE RECEIVED LAST YEAR BASICALLY? SURE.

THROUGH THE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS, WE ARE, LIKE I SAID, WE ANTICIPATE 25 VOUCHERS.

HOWEVER, A HOUSEHOLD MAY BE MUCH LARGER THAN THAT.

UM, IF EVERYONE STAYS ON THEIR VOUCHER FOR THE FULL 12 MONTHS THAT ARE FUNDED THROUGH THE HOME PROGRAM, WHICH TYPICALLY DOES HAPPEN ON OCCASION, WE MAY HAVE PEOPLE MOVE ON TO A DIFFERENT HOUSING SITUATION THROUGHOUT THAT.

UM, AND THEN SOMETIMES IT'S INDIVIDUALS AND SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES IT'S FAMILY.

SO IT WILL DEFINITELY DEPEND ON WHAT THAT FAMILY MAKEUP IS.

UM, AND I, I DON'T HAVE THE CURRENT STATISTICS IN FRONT OF US FOR OUR, OUR CURRENT VOUCHER HOLDERS, BUT ROUGHLY YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT WE WILL SERVE OVER 25 PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE MEMBERS TO A HOUSEHOLD IN, IN MANY CASES.

ARE WE SEEING MORE AND MORE ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THAT POPULATION OR IS IT MAINLY FAMILIES IN TRANSITIONS OR MIDDLE AGED PEOPLE THROUGH THE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS? WE ARE SEEING BOTH, BUT WE, WE DEFINITELY ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN PEOPLE WHO ARE OLDER AND ARE TYPICALLY ON FIXED INCOMES IF THEY FALL INTO HOMELESS.

AND THESE DOLLARS ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE STREET EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

IF THEY FALL INTO HOMELESSNESS, UM, THEY WOULD BE SOMEBODY WHO WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM.

SO WE DEFINITELY ARE SEEING AN INCREASE JUST IN THAT DEMOGRAPHIC IN GENERAL AROUND HOMELESSNESS.

THANK YOU.

MY LAST QUESTION IS IN THE, THE GROUP THAT IS IN THE CONSORTIUM, WHEN IT COMES TO ALL THE OTHER CITY, DO WE HAVE AN EQUAL AMOUNT THAT THEY GIVE TO EACH OR IS THERE WAYS THAT WE CAN INCREASE OURS BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE NEEDS OR HOW DOES THAT GO? YES, FOR THE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS, THAT IS BASED ON A FORMULA THAT HA TIES BACK TO OUR CDBG ENTITLEMENT.

SO IT IS FORMULA BASED.

OKAY THERE.

THE ONE THING THAT I WILL SAY IS THERE ARE DOLLARS THAT ARE SET ASIDE FOR WHAT'S CALLED CHODOS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HOUSING ASSOCIATION.

SO ON NEWTOWN IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OR SAVE THE FAMILY IN THE PAST, THOSE DOLLARS ARE SEPARATE.

WE HAVE HAD THOSE AGENCIES APPLY FOR THOSE FUNDS AND THEY MAY BE GRANTED THOSE FUNDS AND THEN CHANDLER WILL ADMINISTER THOSE PROGRAMS. SO THAT'S USUALLY ABOUT THE ONLY TIME YOU MIGHT SEE AN INCREASE IN THE HOME DOLLARS.

IT'S SPECIFIC TO A PROJECT THAT HAS TO DO WITH DEVELOPING EITHER NEW AFFORDABLE RENTAL OR AFFORDABLE HOME OWNERSHIP.

APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS RELATED TO THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, COUNSEL.

THAT IS ALL OF THOSE, UH, THAT HAVE BEEN CALLED IN AND COUNCIL MEMBER PROTON POSTED PRESS TO THE DIGITIZATION MEANS SLEIGHT OF HANDS, .

THERE WE GO.
