[13. Presentation: Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing on the Development Corporation of Abilene FY 2021 Annual Report (Misty Mayo)]

>> MAYOR WILLIAMS? >> CARRIES.

>> MOVE TO ITEM NO. 13. WE'LL ASK MISTY MAYO TO PRESENT THIS ITEM. TO OUR DEPUTY CITY MANAGER AND ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

I HAVE TO SAY TO MICHAEL AND MINDY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS SUPPORT OF OUR TEAM AND COMPANIES.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, I AM PRESENTING THE ANNUAL REPORT. I FIND IT A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO TELL THE CITIZENS ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR ORGANIZATION AND FOCUS ON CRANES MOVING BUILDINGS AND STEEL AT COMPANIES AT GREAT LAKES CHEESE COMING UP AND ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY COMPANIES HAVE ALREADY INVESTED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

FOR A RETURN FOR OUR FUTURE. INSURING THAT OUR YOUNG CHILDREN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CALL ABILENE HOME.

YOU ARE TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK EVERYDAY WITH INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND DEDICATED, PASSIONATE STAFF TEAM MEMBERS.

I HAVE TO ASK YOU TO STAND. THERE ARE TIMES PLEASE STAND, THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION [APPLAUSE]

[00:55:02]

PUBLIC DOESN'T SEEN THE MANY HOURS EVEN ON THE ROAD PROMOTING ABILENE TO INSURE COMPANIES THAT ARE MAKING A DECISION TO GROW ARE MAKING THE DECISION FOR ABILENE.

WHAT I MENTIONED TAKING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IS CHARGED WITH DOING IS REINVESTING SALES TAX DOLLARS.

OF COURSE WE ARE LED BY A TALENTED BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND HIGHLIGHT THEM IN A MINUTE. THESE ARE THE CORE GOALS OF THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF ABILENE GOING OUTSIDE OF OUR MARKET AND PROMOTING ABILENE SO BUSINESSES KNOW THAT ABILENE IS TOP OF MIND FOR THEIR EXPANSION PROJECTS WORKING WITH LOCAL EXISTING COMPANIES. ALL OF THIS IS WITHIN THE TYPE A DESIGNATION THAT WAS A VOTE THAT THE VOTERS APPROVED IN 1989 AS THE FIRST COMMUNITY THAT UNDERSTOOD COMMITMENT OF COMMITMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

I KNOW THE BIG PROJECTS MAKE THE PAPER.

EVERYDAY WORKING WITH SMALL BUSINESSES TO INSURE THEY CAN GROW AND PROSPER IN ABILENE. WORK FORCE IS CRITICAL PARTICULARLY RIGHT NOW FOR OUR COMPANIES AND MARKETING.

WE ARE MAKING CERTAIN PEOPLE KNOW ABILENE, TEXAS IS A DECISION. FRANKLY OUR TEAM IS WORKING TO MAKE SURE ABILENE, TEXAS IS THE DECISION.

SIX PROJECTS REFLECTED IN THIS NUMBERS, 1-31 DOES NOT CAPTURE THE GRANTS. DEDICATED SUPPORT FOR DICE.

REPRESENT A 5.7 BILLION DOLLAR DIRECT ECONOMIC IMPACT.

COMMITMENT FROM THOSE COMPANIES TO INVEST OVER 260 MILLION DOLLARS. AGAIN YOU SEE THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE ALREADY INVESTING IN ABILENE.

YES, IT TAKES TIME FOR JOBS TO BE CREATED.

NATURALLY, YOU ARE NOT CREATING A JOB WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A BUILDING YET. AS SOON AS THE BUILDINGS ARE UP, THINGS ARE IN PLACE, YOU'LL SEE THE JOBS STARTING TO COME.

IN FACT GREAT LAKES CHEESE HIRED FOUR EMPLOYEES.

INCLUDING A MANAGER FOR THE OPERATION.

AND HE MOVED HIS FAMILY HERE. BOUGHT A HOME AND JUST HAD A TEXAS BABY. ABILENE TEXAS BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

EXCITEING TO SEE THE PROSPER AND TRICKLE EFFECT.

THE WORD DISTRIBUTION WAS ESCAPING ME.

DISTRIBUTION FACILITY. PRIMAL PET GROUP, LARGEST PROJECTS COMMITTED TO WITH ORIGINAL INVESTMENT OVER 60 MILLION. NOW NEW INVESTMENT COMMITMENT OF OVER 30 MILLION. I WILL SAY IT HAS BEEN A MONUMENTAL YEAR. SOMEONE SAID TO ME THE OTHER NIGHT, WHY HAVEN'T WE HAD DINNER YET? I SAID I HAVEN'T HAD DINNER WITH ANYONE.

ALL I HAVE DONE IS WORK. IT WAS SUCH A MONUMENTAL YEAR.

WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE ABILENE AS THE PLACE FOR BUSINESS. YOU FEEL IT, YOU FEEL THE ENERGY, THE EXCITEMENT. THAT IS CONTAGIOUS.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT AWARDS WE HAVE RECEIVED. COMMUNITY IMPACT AWARD ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT TO RECEIVE A REWARD LIKE THIS.

TO BE NAMED 14 COMMUNITIES FOR A PROJECT THAT THE NATION RECOGNIZES AS MOST IMPACTFUL. IS AN IMPRESSIVE AWARD WE ALSO

[01:00:03]

RECEIVED ECONOMIC EXCELLENCE AS WELL AS CORPORATE INVESTMENT IMPACT. YOU CAN SEE THE AWARDS THERE.

>> YOU HEAR ME EVERY TIME I SPEAK.

I TALK ABOUT A TEAM. IT IS NOT ONLY THE STAFF TEAM I AM CHARGED WITH LEADING AND DIRECTING ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.

YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PARTNERS HIGHLIGHTED IT TAKES A VILLAGE.

THAT IS HOW WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER IN ORDER TORE GUARANTEE AND BUILD A PROSPEROUS FUTURE FOR ABILENE.

DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OWNS A NET NUMBER OF PROPERTIES.

WE OWN ABOUT A MILLION ACRES. CLOSE TO A MILLION SQUARE FEET IN FACILITIES. WE ARE NOW DOWN TO 70,000 SQUARE FEET REMAINING. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO. WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE EXCITING PROJECTS LIKE HEARTMANS AND AMAZON INTO EXISTING FACILITIES BECAUSE THEY HAD AN IMMEDIATE NEED.

I LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE STAFF TEAM DEDICATION AND TIME COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING THESE FACILITIES.

MAKING SURE WE DO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS LIKE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD'S BUILDING. ALL OF THAT TAKES TIME AND ATTENTION. EXCEEDED TIME FOR REVENUES AND UNDER BUDGET. ALWAYS MY JOB TO WATCH AND INSURE OUR TEAM IS AWARE OF MAKING SURE WE MEET FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND STAY UNDER BUDGET.

THUNDERSTORM IT IS ALWAYS THE RIGHT THING WHEN WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO REINVEST SALES TAX MONEY BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY FOR MULTIPLIER EFFECT. TAKE A DOLLAR AND TURN IT INTO MANY. WE HAVE FIVE BOARD MEMBERS LITERALLY SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE IN MY 37 YEARS WORKING WITH THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEERS.

DEDICATION AND PASSION FOR A COMMUNITY LIKE NO OTHER.

IT IS A COMPLIMENT WHEN SOMEONE APPOINTED TO OUR BOARD IS QUITE SIMPLY A FINANCIAL GENIUS. CITIZENS OF ABILENE BENEFIT WHEN YOU HAVE FINANCIALLY-MINDED AND ECONOMIC-MINDED BOARD MEMBERS.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND LASTLY, I'LL CLOSE WITH THE FACT OUR FUTURE IN ABILENE, TEXAS IS BRIGHT.

OUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT BECAUSE YOU SEE THAT WE HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY IN ONE YEAR TO DO 30% OF ALL PRODUCTION FROM THE LAST 30 PLUS YEARS. SO IN 32 YEARS, DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BROUGHT IN OVER 875 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT COMMITMENTS. YES, IT IS TRUE THOSE ARE COMMITMENTS. HOWEVER WHAT YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON AND WHAT THE CITIZENS NEED TO HEAR, THOSE COMMITMENTS ARE BEING MADE BY COMPANIES THEN IN TURN IMMEDIATELY INVESTING MONEY IN ABILENE, TEXAS. YOU SEE IT WITH THE AMAZON PROJECT, HEARTMANS AND PRIMAL PETS.

SO MANY OTHER COMPANIES. 263 MILLION DOLLARS OF COMMITMENTS MADE WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING OCTOBER 1.

FUTURE BRIGHT. I ENCOURAGE CITIZENS TO VISIT DEVELOPMENTABILENE.COM. WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAY COMMITTED. WITH THE RIGHT CITY COUNCIL, WITH THE RIGHT LEADERSHIP YOU HAVE SHOWN, ALL OF THAT IS IN PLACE. OUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT BECAUSE YOUR LEADERSHIP HAS ENABLED US TO INSURE ABILENE, TEXAS HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE AND CAN THRIVE AND PROSPER BECAUSE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER.

>> THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

>> WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT IN A BIT.

WHEN THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS COMES DOWN, PULLS ME TO THE SIDE TALKS

[01:05:04]

ABOUT THE WAY ABILENE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT TEXAS, IF WE WERE A SEPARATE COUNTRY WOULD BE AND SOME WISH WE WERE.

IT WOULD BE THE NINTH LARGEST IN RARDZ TO IN THE WORLD.

NO STATE HAS ADDED MORE JOBS THAN THE LONE STAR STATE.

FOR THE GOVERNOR TO MAKE A TRIP TO ABILENE AND BEFORE THAT, WHEN ASKED, HE RECOMMENDED ABILENE. TO BE RECOMMENDED TO ACHIEVE COMMUNITY IMPACT DEVELOPMENT REWARD.

LITTLE ABILENE, TEXAS. CENTRAL WEST TEXAS ONE OF THOSE ENTITIES. NUMBERS DON'T LIE.

LOOK AT THAT INVESTMENT. THAT IS PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT. YOU THINK ABOUT 185 MILLION DOLLARS. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT FACTUAL INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THE GOOD WORK, THANK YOU, MISTY.

BROCK, MY APOLOGIES FOR BEING ONE OF THE 20 AROUND 40.

WITH THAT, COUNCIL HAVE REMARKS TO THE PUBLIC HEARING? IF NOT, AT THIS TIME, I WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ITEM.

IF SO, PLEASE THE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE

RECORD. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL, DAVID SWART. THAT IS A GREAT REPORT.

IF YOU ARE A BANKER, ALWAYS GIVE PROFITS AND LOSSES.

OVER THE YEARS ALWAYS GIVE A GREAT DEAL.

THEY ARE GIVING LOANS OUT TO THESE PEOPLE THAT COME HERE.

NEVER HEAR IN THESE PRESENTATIONS, BOTTOM LINE.

IF YOU ARE AN ACCOUNTANT YOU HAVE THIS MUST ASSETS AND THIS MUCH DEBTS. IN THIS PRESENTATION, THEY NEGLECTED TO TELL US HOW MANY LOANS ARE BEING PAID BACK.

BEFORE PREVIOUSLY THE OTHER PERSON IN CHARGE, THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO BE SUED BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T MAKE PAYMENTS.

THEY SKIPPED TOWN. THEY OFFERED TO BUY BACK THE BUILDING. ABOUT THE CHEESE FACTORY AND NEW AMAZON STUFF. YOU KNOW, COMPREHENSIVE REPORT SHOULD INCLUDE PROFIT AND LOSSES, IT IS JUST LIKE A BANK, YOU KNOW, LAST TIME THEY MENTIONED ABOUT THE SALARIES, YOU KNOW, IF THAT COMES OUT OF OUR HALF CENT SALES TAX, SOMEONE DRAWING OVER $200,000 A YEAR, THAT IS WHAT CLINTON WAS PAID AND HE RAN THE WHOLE COUNTRY. I WANT THE FULL DETAILS IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE A REPORT BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND ALL CITIZENS WATCHING IN TV LAND TO GIVE US THE WHOLE BOTTOM LINE.

TELL US THE TRUTH OF WHAT WE ARE SPENDING AND TAKE OUT ON THESE LOANS AND GREAT COMPANIES COMING INTO ABILENE THANK YOU FOR

LETTING ME SPEAK. >> ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK FOR

OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? >> I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THE DCRA IMPLEMENT STAFF TO WORKING ON A WAY TO PUBLISH THEIR MEETINGS LIVE BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THE TAX PAYOR TO BE MORE

[01:10:05]

INVOLVED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE TAX PAYORS THAT DON'T KNOW HOW THINGS WORK.

A GREAT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY DCRA AND TAX PAYORS.

I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT THE STATISTICS, UNITED STATES CENSUS BUREAU WEBSITE OR DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH.

POVERTY RATES, MEDIAN INCOME. I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES THE WAY I DO CERTAIN THINGS. POVERTY RATES ARE HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE HERE IN ABILENE.

EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL QUALIFIES TO RECEIVE TITLE ONE MONEYS.

POUR IMPOVERISHED ENVIRONMENTS WHENEVER YOU ARE ALLOCATING FUNDS PIGGYBACKING, WE ARE NOT GIVING ALL THE INFORMATION, WE HAVE TO GO DIG. Y'ALL DO THE POSITIVE.

WE ARE NOT GIVING POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE.

WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL. IT IS VERY MANIPULATIVE IN NATURE. COMPARISON TO PRIORITIES SIGHS AND LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF OUR POVERTY AND IT IS OUR CHILDREN. THAT IS WHY I AM SO FRUSTRATED THEY HAVE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH. LOOK AT THE INFRASTRUCTURE, PLAYGROUNDS THEY CAN'T PLAY ON BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ADA ACCESSIBLE. THIS IS PROBABLY LITTLE BITTY THINGS TO PEOPLE THAT MAKE HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

WHEN THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE, THAT IS ALL YOUR CITY COUNCIL IS ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU, IT IS SIGNIFICANT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM?

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF MOMENTS WHEN CYNTHIA AND I DON'T AGREE ON THINGS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR ABILENE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONS LIKE DCOA AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT SPECIFICALLY WORK WITH OUR NEIGHBORS, I KNOW MISTY WANTS TO HAVE THAT

CONVERSATION SO THANK YOU. >> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON TODAY? ALL RIGHT. THIS WAS INFORMATION ONLY.

THANK YOU MISS MAYO FOR YOUR PRESENTATION DOING THE GOOD WORK

[14. Resolution: Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing, and Take Action on Approving Purchase Agreement with Motorola Solutions for the Body-Worn Camera/In-Car Video Project & Real-Time Intelligence Center Project (Marcus Dudley)]

FOR OUR CITIZENS. NOW MOVE TO ITEM NO. 14.

I WILL ASK MARCUS DUDLY TO PRESENT THIS ITEM.

>> RIGHT OFF THE BAT THIS HAS BEEN A TEAM WORK EFFORT.

ALSO WITH OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.

I AM EXCITED TO BRING THIS FORWARD ON THIS PROPOSAL.

COMPANY THAT WE USE FOR EXISTING -- ALSO FOR IN-CAR DASHCAMS.

[01:15:03]

MULTIPLE FOLKS IN BODY-WORN CAMERA BUSINESS HAVE A VERY GOOD PRODUCT FOR US TO BE CONSIDERED. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES IT IMPORTANT FOR US TO LOOK AT OPERATING OUR CAMERAS.

IS THE FACT OUR FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED.

THEY ARE HAVING SIGNIFICANT ISSUES.

THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE FUNCTIONALITY TO LAST A FULL SHIFT. CURRENT CAMERAS DON'T GIVE US THE ABILITY. WE NEED TO BRING THEM INTO A DOCKING STATION. WE ALWAYS HAVE AN ISSUE WITH DIGITAL STORAGE. WE ARE STORING THEM WITHIN WHEN TECHNOLOGY HAS COME A LONG WAYS AND MUCH BETTER SOLUTION FOR US.

I WANT TO POINT OUT CHRISTINA STEPHENS IS HERE WE HAVE THEM HERE TODAY TO SPEAK FURTHER. OUR CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALREADY BUILT AROUND MOTOROLA IT WOULD BE A SEAMLESS TRANSITION.

OUR CURRENT SYSTEM IS THROUGH MOTOROLA.

THE NEW CAMERA SYSTEM WOULD HAVE IS THE CAMERAS PROVIDE LICENSE PLATE READER TECHNOLOGY WHICH HAS BECOME INVALUABLE.

FOR EXAMPLE IF THE CAR IS STOLEN KNOW THE FOLKS WOULD BE ABLE TO CAPTURE DIRECTLY THROUGH OUR IN-CLOUD DASH SYSTEM.

WE ALSO LOOKING AT HAVING WIFI CAPABILITY WITHIN OUR IN-CAR DASH SYSTEM. WHAT THE WIFI CAPABILITY ALLOWS US TO UP LOAD VIDEO FROM ANYWHERE IN THE CITY.

IT CAN CREATE SIGNIFICANT DELAYS FOR US IN TERMS OF GETTING THE VIDEO UP LOADED AS EVIDENCE AND VIEW IT RIGHT AWAY.

HAVING VEHICLES BE -- IT ALLOWED US ON THE LIVE STREAM.

CALLING OUT THIS LIVE TEAM. THERE IS NOTHING BETTER FOR US TO HAVE THAT CAMERA. BE ABLE TO PROVIDE CRITICAL FEEDBACK HOW BEST TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.

BEING ON LIVE STREAM, SECOND QUARTER IS WHEN THEY EXPECT THAT TECHNOLOGY TO HIT. THAT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD LOOK

FORWARD TO HAVING. >> REAL QUICK, I WANTED TO TOUCH BACK. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I ASKED YOU WAS WHO CAN VIEW THE LIVE STREAM.

THEY THINK OF WATCHING IT ON FACEBOOK.

CAN YOU TOUCH ON THAT. >> COUNCILMEMBER PRICE, THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT. TECHNOLOGY ON PERMISSIONS-BASED SYSTEM. IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT MUCH LIKE OUR RADIO CHANNELS ARE ENCRYPTED FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE OFFICERS INVOLVED WITH THESE SITUATIONS, WE ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY GIVING BACK INTELLIGENCE TO THE PERSON THAT MAY WANT TO DO HARM. PERMISSION-BASE SYSTEM ALLOWS US. ONLY STREAMED FOR THE OFFICERS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT SYSTEM. IT IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TO VIEW. OBVIOUSLY THERE WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR FOLKS TO MAKE UP RECORDS REQUEST.

THOSE THINGS ARE DETERMINED AFTER AN INCIDENT HAS CLOSED.

[01:20:03]

THAT WOULD BE WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

>> THE OTHER ASPECT IN ADDITION TO US NEEDING TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT STORAGE SYSTEM AND HAVE CLOUD BASED STORAGE AS OPPOSED TO STORING ON SERVERS WE HAVE TO PURCHASE.

ALWAYS RUNNING OUT OF SPACE. IS THAT THE MOTO ROLL LA SYSTEM HAS REAL TIME TECHNOLOGY. WAS THIS A [INAUDIBLE] SYSTEM? ABSOLUTELY NOT. WE ARE NOT TAKING PHOTOS OR ISSUING TRAFFIC SUMMONS. THIS SYSTEM ALLOWS US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CAMERAS IN PUBLIC SPACES WHERE THERE IS NO RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND CAPTURE INFORMATION THAT CAN BE RELAID BACK TO PATROL OFFICERS RESPONDING TO THE SCENE.

WE ARE CATCHING THEM AT THE MOST VULNERABLE POINT.

ALL OF THE THINGS GOING ON. IMAGINE IF THAT PERSON IS ON THE PHONE WE HAD A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWED US TO PULL UP A CAMERA IN THAT AREA AND GET INTELLIGENCE THAT CAN BE RELAID TO A PATROL OFFICER. WE ARE RUNNING INTO A SITUATION WHERE FOLKS RECOGNIZE A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED BUT DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN JUDICIAL PROCESS IN TERMS OF HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE WITNESSES THEY WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. HAVING THIS TECHNOLOGY.

WE HAVE ACTUAL VIDEO THAT CAN BE PRESENTED TO A GRAND JURY TO SHOW WHO WAS INVOLVED WITH THE CRIME AND WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. THAT IS WHAT A REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER. PROVIDES REAL TIME INFORMATION TO OFFICERS RESPONDING TO THE SCENE AND GREAT VIDEOS FOR INVESTIGATIONS. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IS YOU CAN HAVE A MULTITUDE OF FIXED CAMERAS, THEY DON'T MOVE AND ABILITY TO SEE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

THIS IS WHAT I WOULD ENVISION US DOING IN SMALLER SEG SMENTS IN OUR DOWNTOWN AREA. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE DOING DEVELOPMENT. WHAT AFFORDED US TO DO THAT, COMMAND CENTER PLUS. IT WILL IN ESSENCE ALLOW A CAR TO COME IN AND RECOGNIZE THERE IS A CAMERA ATTACHED TO THAT PARTICULAR AREA WHERE THAT CALL IS COMING FROM.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE INCIDENT WHILE THE CAR IS TAKING PLACE AND FLAG AND STORE THAT DATA FOR THE INVESTIGATIVE SUPPORT PURPOSES. IT CAN BE INTEGRATED WITH CAMERAS WE ALREADY HAVE. CAMERAS WE USE FOR TRAFFIC DETECTION TO KNOW THERE ARE CARS IN AN INTERSECTION HAVE THE ABILITY TO FEED INTO THIS COMMAND CENTRAL AND PROVIDE ABILITY TO HAVE REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER USING ALL THE EXISTING CAMERAS. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN CAUTIONED.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERS. THERE IS A VEHICLE AND NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU GREAT VIDEO OPTICS. DECIDE WE NEED TO UPGRADE THOSE CAMERAS ADD INFRARED TO HAVE BETTER NIGHT VISION.

AT THIS TIME, THE CAMERAS DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO BEFORE THAT CAN HELP US. THERE IS NORTH LOCATIONS, SOUTH LOCATIONS. WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AT LONG-TERM PATTERNS WITH CRIMES. WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AT HIGHLY

[01:25:01]

CONTESTED AREAS. >> COST PROPOSAL AGREEMENT THAT WOULD BE SPACED OUT OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD OF TIME.

TWO MILLION DOLLAR PRICE TAG. THE FIRST YEAR'S PAYMENT WOULD BE $440,000 YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN AND YEARS TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, 389,000. FUNDING WOULD COME FROM POLICE APPARATUS POLICE FUND. CURRENTLY WORKING 1.1 MILLION DOLLAR APPARATUS FUND AND 350,000.

FIRST PAYMENT OUT OF THE APPARATUS FUND AND REMAINING YEARS. THEN I THINK WE ARE NEARING THE END HERE. I HAVE MENTIONED ALL THOSE THINGS. LASTLY THIS WOULD AFFORD US TO ACQUIRE -- REPRESENTS 93 IN-CAR DASH CAMERAS.

MAJOR COMPONENTS THIS AGREEMENT WOULD END UP PAYING FOR.

WITH THAT, ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS?

>> COMMENT. ANOTHER THING I ASKED YOU ABOUT THAT YOU SAID WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY, REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER, 911 AS VISIBILITY TO THOSE CAMERAS.

NOT JUST POLICE, ALSO FIRE. THEY COULD ALSO PROVIDE DIRECTION BEFORE THEY GOT THERE THAT SAYS HEY, THIS WHOLE AREA IS BLOCKED OFF. MIGHT NEED TO COME IN FROM ANOTHER DIRECTION. THAT IS ANOTHER BENEFIT THE CITY HAS FROM THE CAMERA SYSTEM. APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND INFORMATION. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I MENTIONED TO YOU DIRECTLY IT IS IN THE PACKET.

I WANTED TO BRING UP HERE. THERE IS OPTIONAL FACIAL RECOGNITION FEATURE WITHIN THE SOFTWARE.

AS A COMPUTER, GUY, I GET A LOT OF COMPUTER NEWS LETTERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE ACCURACY OF FACIAL RECOGNITION.

THAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE NOT ADOPTING IN THE CITY OF ABILENE ASPECT. I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT AS WELL.

> THAT IS CORRECT. I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU.

SCIENCE BEHIND IT HAS NOT BEEN WORKED OUT TO BE SATISFACTORY FOR US TO BE COMFORTABLE WANTING TO MAKE IT A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOT TO SAY AT SOME POINT WE MAY FIND THINGS TO MAKE IT WORTHWHILE FOR CONSIDERATION.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE AS A PART OF THIS PACKAGE. MUCH LIKE POLYGRAPHS.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A GREAT TOOL TO POINT YOU IN THE DIRECTION. DON'T WANT TO USE THAT ON THE BASIS YOU ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD PROSECUTING THE CASE.

WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE USING THE TECHNOLOGY.

>> THANK YOU. >> MORE QUESTIONS COUNCIL

PROVIDES? >> YOU MENTIONED ONE OF THE REASONS WE ARE DOING THIS, CAMERAS WE HAVE NOW ARE END OF LIFE FOR FIVE YEARS. I KNOW TECHNOLOGY CHANGES.

IT WILL CHANGE BY THE TIME WE LEAVE THIS ROOM.

IN FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, CHARGING AND UP LOADING DOES MOTOROLA FEEL COMFORTABLE WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE OR BUILT UP ENOUGH WE CAN UPGRADE SO WE CAN BUY A BRAND NEW SYSTEM

EVERY FIVE YEARS. >> I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER THIS TO BE A PLANNED EXPENSE MUCH LIKE FIREFIGHTER GEAR.

IT IS GOING TO BE A CONTINUAL INVESTMENT.

IT IS A GOOD THING. LEVEL OF PROTECTION IT PROVIDES OFFICERS AND CITIZENS WHEN THEY HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS GOOD FOR BOTH PARTIES AND PROVIDES LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY THAT WASN'T PRESENT HISTORICALLY.

[01:30:04]

IT IS CREATING A BETTER ENVIRONMENT.

WE SHOULD CON SOMETHING WE DO ON A FIVE-YEAR

ROTATION BASIS. >> OKAY.

OKAY. >> ARE THERE OTHER THINGS THAT AREN'T ON THE RADAR WE MIGHT NOT HAVE TO PURCHASE.

MAYBE A QUESTION FOR YOU, SORRY, CHIEF DUDLY.

>> I WILL OFFER OPPORTUNITY FOR CHRISTINA AND HER FOLKS TO.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, WE DID IN THE PROPOSAL THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT. AND SUPPORT ON THE IT SIDE.

REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING EQUIPMENT REPLACING THE NEW EQUIPMENT. INTERVIEW INSTALLATIONS ALL INCLUDED. IS THERE TRAINING THAT CAN REDUCE GLITCHES ON THEIR END? IF SO DO YOU OFFER IT OR SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO OUT SOURCE?

>> THERE IS TRAINING INCLUDED. THERE HAVE BEEN LEAPS AND BOUNDS, COMMISSIONER MCCALLISTER, AS YOU MENTION TECHNOLOGY CHANGES. THERE IS ONGOING RESOURCES AS

WELL. >> THAT IS GREAT.

>> IF I COULD I WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

PART OF THE PROPOSAL. WE ACTUALLY INCLUDED A REFRESH TECHNOLOGIES CHANGING. WE TRY TO BUILD IN SO YOU GUYS ARE NOT DOING A FORKLIFT REPLACEMENT EACH TIME.

THAT DOES GIVE YOU THE REFRESH DEVICES THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I CAN HELP

WITH? >> JUST ONE MORE.

CLOUD LICENSE. THAT IS COMING OUT OF THIS POLICE APPARATUS AS WELL OR IT?

>> I APOLOGIZE. USUALLY THE FIRST YEAR THE POLICE MAY TAKE IT OUT OF OUR BUDGET TO REQUIRE.

IT IS BUILT IN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ACCOUNTING FOR LICENSING AND SUCH.

>> SUBSEQUENT YEARS CHARGED ARE FROM THE IT FUND TO THE

DEPARTMENTS. >> FUTURE YEARS PART OF THIS.

>> ALSO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE.

THERE IS COST THAT MAY COME UP. REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER.

WE ARE NOT SURE THEY ARE THE ONES YOU WANT AND AREAS WE ARE WILLING TO HAVE THEM. THEN WE ALSO WOULD LIKELY NEED A SERVER IF WE WANTED TO STORE THAT IN A UNIQUE OR DIFFERENT WAY THAN THE WAY THE CLOUD BASED SYSTEM.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TAHOES THROUGH CHEVY.

WE ARE NOT SURE WHO IS GOING TO DO MANUFACTURING OF POLICE VEHICLES. A NEED TO DO DIFFERENT SYSTEMS.

>> AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC HEARING.

FOR ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK BEFORE OR AGAINST THIS ITEM. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOUR NAME

FOR THE RECORD. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL DAVIS ONCE

[01:35:07]

AGAIN. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, HIS DEAL WAS WE TALKED ABOUT IT. HE KNEW ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY AND SAID SITUATION WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW.

QUICKER TO DO THIS. THIS DOCUMENTATION IS PAGES AND PAGES, PART ATTORNEY AND PART ACCOUNTANT.

FIRSTOFF FOR PERSONS IN TV LAND, IS THIS A LEASE? OR IS THIS A PURCHASE? ACCORDING TO DOCUMENTATIONS, $49 A MONTH FOR EACH BODY CAM. I WOULD THINK NO MORE THAN 300-400 BUCKS FOR BODY CAM MUST BE A LEASE.

EACH CAR VIDEO, $205 LISTED PER MONTH.

THE INSTALLATION, MOTOROLA PERSONNEL IN THE PATROL VEHICLES AND INTERVIEW ROOMS? MAIN THING IS CITIZENS SHOULD KNOW IS THIS A LEASE OR PURCHASE PROTECTION, 49 BUCKS FOR EACH BODY CAM. FIRST PAYMENT HIGHLIGHTED 440,000. THE OTHER THING IS.

LIKE I SAID, CITY PERSONNEL WON'T BE INVOLVED IN ANY OF THE UPGRADES. MOTOROLA ISN'T A VERY WELL KNOWN BRAND. I CAN GO BACK 27 YEARS WHEN I WAS WORKING AT LAND MOBILE RADIO SYSTEMS AND GOT A REMOTE UNIT.

GOES TO TELEPHONE LINES ACROSS THE BASE OR TOWN AND CONTROLS A RADIO SYSTEM. I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH THE MANUAL. MOTOROLA INCORPORATE, TEL AVIV, ISRAEL. YOU KNOW IT IS A GLOBAL CORPORATION. THAT WAS LIKE I SAID 27 YEARS AGO. IT IS TRUE QUESTION ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY. I HAVE RIGHT NOW, MOTOROLA PHONE I USE FOR WIRELESS NEEDS: I WOULD BET 18 MONTHS, 24 MONTHS TOPS, SOMETHING NEW AND MORE IMPROVED.

YOU SAID ABOUT THE UP LOADING. WIFI IS VERY LIMITED RANGE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCIL. >> ALSO ACROSS INSTALLATION.

>> I CAN. WE PAY ANNUAL FEE RECORDS TO THESE SERVICES. CHIEF WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD MORE

TO THAT? >> WE ARE PURCHASING THE EQUIPMENT WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR AND MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR THE STORAGE THE DATA HUGE FOR US. LOOKS LIKE YOUR DATA.

>> YOU ACTUALLY HAD IT RIGHT, VIDEO IS BASICALLY INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL YOU ARE MAKING A PURCHASE UP FRONT.

INCLUDES MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR YOUR LICENSES, THE STORAGE CLOUD STORAGE AND BASICALLY COVERS EVERYTHING.

EASIER ON BUDGETS. PROVOIDED BY MOTOROLA.

>> ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM?

[01:40:04]

>> IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ABLE TO RELEASE BODY CAM FOOTAGE?

>> THERE IS A PROCEDURE SOMEONE CAN ASK FOR VIDEO.

THERE IS A SPECIFIC WAY THAT THE REQUESTS COME IN BUT YES.

>> WE REQUESTED SEVERAL DIFFERENT BODY CAM FOOTAGES.

AND SO, THERE IS A LITTLE CONFUSION HOW THAT HAPPENS, Y'ALL CAN CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.

THE COUNCIL HAS THE ABILITY TO RELEASE BODY-WORN CAMERAS.

Y'ALL HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO RELEASE IT IN SPECIFIC INCIDENCES.

REQUESTED ATTORNEY GENERAL TO STEP IN.

WHAT I AM REQUESTING IS SOME POLICY BUT PUT IN PLACE.

WHEN IT IS INVOLVING A POLICE-INVOLVED KILLING THAT IS WHAT WE CAN'T GET A HOLD OF. DENNIS WILLIS KILLED 2011.

[INAUDIBLE] JEFF JOHNSON, SEPTEMBER 2014.

ALSO A VIETNAM VET. KILLED BY THE POLICE.

THERE IS A DASHCAM FOOTAGE AVAILABLE, I THINK THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE.

ANOTHER IS ALL THE INDIVIDUALS DEALING WITH A CRISIS.

REASON IT WASN'T WITH ME. [INAUDIBLE], I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS LACK OF TRAINING ON POLICE DEPARTMENTS.

FAILURE OF AFFAIRS? OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A LOT OF BAD FEELINGS TO POLICE DEPARTMENTS. I THINK TO KEEP THAT FROM INFILTRATING ABILENE AND OUR CITIZENS, Y'ALL ARE GOING TO HAVE TO RELEASE THAT FOOTAGE. Y'ALL KA CHOOSE NOT TO.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO REACH TOUT KEN PAXTON AND -- THAT IS WHERE THE MISTRUST BEGINS ACCOUNTABILITY IS NOT BEING GIVEN.

IF YOU CAN RELEASE THE VIDEOS THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

LOOPS WE ARE HAVING TO JUMP THROUGH IS RIDICULOUS.

IT IS CONTRADICTORY IS NATURE. I AM GOING TO ASK BEFORE YOU GIVE MONEYS OR ALLOW THE BODY CAM FOOTAGES TO HAPPEN, Y'ALL CREATE AN ORDNANCE. KEEPS CITIZENS AND WILL KEEP THE POLICE OFFICERS SAFE. IF YOU CREATE THE ACCOUNTABILITY THEIR LIVES AREN'T IN DANGER, EITHER.

IF YOU COULD GET THAT FIXED THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME A POLICY REQUIRING IT BE RELEASED IN A

CERTAIN TIME FRAME. >> ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? SEEING NO ONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> ALL OF THE OFFICERS WILL HAVE UPDATED CAMERAS.

>> THEY WILL NOT IN THE MODEL HAVE THE OPTION.

[01:45:47]

THE STATEMENT PEOPLE HAVE A BAD FEELING TO POLICE -- I JUST WANT TO STATE THAT PUBLICALLY, WE APPRECIATE TREMENDOUSLY WHAT

Y'ALL DO. >> THAT IS A MOTION.

SORRY. >> MAYOR?

>> YES. >> COUNCILMEMBER PRICE YES.

>> COUNCILMEMBER ALBUS? >> COUNCILMEMBER HURT YES.

[15. Ordinance (Final Reading): Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing, and Take Action to Amend Chapter 10, Article III, “Fire Prevention Code”, Division 1, Sec. 10-46 of the Abilene Municipal Code (Cande Flores).]

>> ITEM 15 IS THE FINAL READING OF THE FIRE CODE, 2021 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE. AMENDED WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS TO MAKE IT TO 2021 ABILENE FIRE CODE.

INCLUDES AMENDMENTS THAT FACILITATE HOW WE OPERATE IN ABILENE AS A BUSINESS. UPDAED EVERY THREE YEARS.

UNFORTUNATELY OURS HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED IN 2009.

WE TRIED TO UPDATE 2018 VERSION. BECAUSE OF SOME ISSUES THEN WE ARE UNABLE TO SO WE PUSHED TO 2021.

FIRE MARSHAL HAS CREATED A COMMITTEE THAT REVIEW LATEST COMMISSION COMPRISED OF DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM ARENAS.

TO TERM WHICH PARTS AS IT REFERS TO CHANGES WOULD BE ADOPTED OR

CHANGED. >> WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF ABILENE. APPLIES TO RESIDENCES AS WELL.

NOT EVERY PART OF IT DOES. BUILDINGS PREEXISTING THAT DO NOT PRESENT MAJOR LIFE SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERED EXISTING IN NON-COMPLIANCE. NOT EVERY BUSINESS WILL HAVE TO MEET THE CHANGES. BUT THEY DO GO THROUGH MAJOR RENOVATION IF THEY LOSE THEIR OCCUPANCY OR CHANGE OCCUPANCY.

AT THAT POINT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BRING THEIR BUILDINGS UP TO THE CURRENT 2021 CODES. SO RECOMMENDATION IS WE PRESENT AND APPROVE FIRE PREVENTION CODE ALONG WITH ATTACHMENT A WHICH OUTLINES LOCAL AMENDMENTS AND THAT BE APPROVED TODAY.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU, CHIEF FLORES.

THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER PRICE. BEARD FOR THE WORK ON THE LAST I APPRECIATE THE COMMUNITY AND PUT FORTH AN OPPORTUNITY THAT IS MINDFUL OF OUR COMMUNITY. AND SAFETY PARAMETERS.

WITH THAT, COUNCIL HAS QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IN REGARDS TO THIS

AGENDA ITEM? >> WE ARE NOT QUITE THROUGH YET.

>> I THINK PROBLEM THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH THIS WOULD BE TO MAKE A MOTION WITH SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS.

>> MAYOR, SECRETARY? >> WE HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC

HEARING. >> SO WHAT I'LL PROPOSE WITH REGARDS TO THE AMENDMENTS SECTION 111 ESTABLISHES BOARD OF

[01:50:02]

APPEALS NEW TO US. WE AS A CITY ARE GOING TO FOLD THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES IN TO THE BOARD BUILDING STANDARDS WHO ALREADY HAS EXPERIENCE WITH ISSUES OF THIS NATURE.

SO MY SUGGESTION IS TO NOT ADOPT SECTION 111 FOR RIGHT NOW.

THINGS WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH. WE DON'T HAVE THAT IRONED OUT YET. WE OWE IT TO THE BUILDING STANDARDS. HOW WE NAVIGATE THAT SECTION CITIZENS BEING ABLE TO APPEAL. WE REVISIT AS SOON AS WE CAN.

ON SECTION 403.11.3. THAT IS SECTION THAT DEALS WITH CROWD MANAGERS. CODE REQUIRES GATHERINGS OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE TO HAVE CROWD MANAGERS AT A FORMULA NOT LESS THAN 250 ATTENDEES. AND I WOULD PROPOSE THAT WE MOVE THAT FROM 250 TO 1000. KEEP IT AT THE CURRENT STANDARD WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING. 403.11.3.1.

WE CHANGE THAT 250 TO A THOUSAND.

THEN SIMILAR VAINS, 3106. TWICE.

ALREADY HAS THRESHOLD DUE TO THE TENT NATURE.

WE MAKE 3107. MIRROR THE 1000 THRESHOLD.

IT ALSO LISTS 250. ESSENTIALLY IN SUMMARY WE DROP 111 FOR NOW. ALL THE AREAS THREE LOCATIONS IN THE CODE THAT WE MOVE ALL TO 1 THOUSAND TO MAINTAIN THE

STANDARD. >> IS STAFF SUPPORTIVE OF THIS

CORRECTION? >> YES.

DEPARTMENT AND COUNCIL. >> YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THESE MODIFICATIONS NOT COMPROMISING HEALTH OR WELL BEING OF THE

CITIZENS? >> YES, SIR.

2009 CODE. WE TALKED ABOUT IT AS A GROUP.

WE ARE SEEING ISSUES UP TO THIS POINT.

WE DON'T FEEL PUTTING THIS ADDITIONAL HINDRANCE.

WE FEEL THIS IS STILL COMPATIBLE WITH LIFE SAFETY.

>> COUPLE OF CHANGES FROM THE FIRST READING.

RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES. PROHIBITION AGAINST "CANDY CANE CA CA CASE"-- CANDLES -- REQUIRED FIRE MARSHAL TO GIVE APPROVAL.

WE FELT LIKE THAT WAS INAPPROPRIATE.

THEN 319.1, WE HAD SOMEBODY SPEAK ON THIS AT THE FIRST READING. I WILL JUST READ THAT.

STILL IN PLACE PRODUCE SMOKE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM ONLY REQUIRED OVER THE COOKING SURFACE AREAS.

IT IS NOT THE WHOLE TRUCK. IT IS OVER THE COOKING AREA.

THEY HAVE THREE YEARS TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE.

WE EXTENDED THAT FROM 18-36 MONTHS AND CLARIFIED OVER THE COOK SURFACE. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT CAME UP.

STILL IN PLACE WITH THE MOBILE FOOD TRUCK.

CLARIFIED AND EXTENDED. >> THANK YOU.

>> I HAVE ONE MORE SHAWNA FOR SECTION 403 THAT WE ADDED A SENTENCE. EMPLOYEES OR VOLUNTEERS HOSTING THE EVENT CAN USE ON DUTY PERSONNEL.

DON'T HAVE TO HIRE ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL.

IF YOU TAKE A FOOTBALL GAME FOR EXAMPLE, USE THAT, COACHES, BAND

[01:55:05]

DIRECTORS, TICKET TAKERS. PEOPLE ALREADY THERE WORKING THE EVENT CAN SERVICE. IT IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL HIRE.

>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER BEARD.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING? APPRECIATE YOU TIME.

>> I WANT TO ECHO THAT. CHIEF, THANK YOU, JEREMY.

THANK YOU. EXPERTISE INVALUABLE.
