392. 1:19:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript consideration
393. 1:19:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the additional funding would equal approximately 3.4 million dollars per

395. 1:19:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is not a rejection of the public education system nor are we pulling the
396. 1:19:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript rug out from under the their budget as some have suggested some of the public
397. 1:19:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not on the council for your information the city contributes about 80% of the
398. 1:19:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sales taxes we collect in the city to our school system most of it prescribed
399. 1:19:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript by
400. 1:19:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript state law but then obviously voluntary election to give some more we're also

402. 1:19:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the county you recall that we appropriated six million dollars to
403. 1:19:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript build sidewalks around schools in response to a necessary change that the
404. 1:19:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript school system made because of a shortage of bus drivers regarding students
405. 1:20:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript walking to and from school we continue to deliver on that promise
406. 1:20:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there are sidewalks being constructed as we speak near st. Bethlehem elementary

408. 1:20:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript upgrade our school zone signals and we continue to provide school crossing
409. 1:20:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript guards to every school inside the city limits so let's talk about the merits of
410. 1:20:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this if you want but I thought it was time to kind of bring this to you and
411. 1:20:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for us to consider it and so there it is councilman Lovato thank you for your time.
412. 1:20:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you Mayor and I just want to say I I do support this measure and but I have
413. 1:20:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript some concerns because I want to make sure that we do it the appropriate way
414. 1:20:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and this was voted on in 1977 by the way ten years before I was born so this is a
415. 1:20:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript long time so you know it's time to you know it is time to revisit this and what
416. 1:21:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that money is allocated for and to the other council members I've gone back and
417. 1:21:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript forth with Mr. Bittner quite a bit about what's going on in the school system and
418. 1:21:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what's appropriate what's not as far as the next steps and in with your
419. 1:21:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript permission mayor I'd just like to drag him to the podium so he can get everyone
420. 1:21:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript caught up to speed as well okay you're being dragged to the podium Mr. Bittner
421. 1:21:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's not even my birthday not even your birthday and one of the things that I've
422. 1:21:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript been bringing up is putting it on the ballot because that's where it started
423. 1:21:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but you've been in contact with MTAS and
424. 1:21:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as it reads this is not appropriate to put on the ballot can you just clarify
425. 1:21:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that correct the right to hold an election does not exist absent an
426. 1:21:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript express grant of power by the legislature so to get it to get it on
427. 1:21:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the referendum there you have to be under a statutory grant so you would
428. 1:22:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have to find something under Tennessee law that they would grant a referendum
429. 1:22:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript without a referendum and then you would have to find something under Tennessee law that would grant a referendum without a referendum without a referendum
430. 1:22:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript possibly as we discussed today would be a local sales tax increase and then
431. 1:22:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript perhaps you put on the budget that that way okay with the because we have the
432. 1:22:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript refer we have a copy of the referendum we have some minutes from 1977 and we
433. 1:22:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have the ordinance but we do not actually have a copy of that contract
434. 1:22:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript yet correct that's correct the resolution of the county and the resolution of the city both
435. 1:22:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Seoul we have some minutes to get some information along with Minnesota what
436. 1:22:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript isso pode ser uma pedida como você está de verdade coloco para um gabinete e que o contrato seria exoneração líquido mas como o contrato foi examinado se exist Nitro Normandia como mais executado se o contrato foi exoneração nossa porque o contrato no está inteligente mas não tem naügura porque ele não pode ser localizado em a cidade records or the county records Okay so my concern is if this Council were to pass this as is next week and the county and the school Board do not agree and we're going to assume that they don't agree and they decide to take this to court that three and a half million dollars could be locked up and likely not and we're going to assume and that they decide to take this to court that three and a half million dollars could be locked up and likely that three and a half million dollars could be locked up
437. 1:23:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript probate until the judge makes a decision correct it could be locked up but I
438. 1:23:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript don't I mean not necessarily probate but that's that's a different thing but it
439. 1:23:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript could be that the the payment is gone to the trustee and the trustee would just
440. 1:23:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pay us the everything but the 20% and then that 20% would be a screwed I think
441. 1:23:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this came up prior in I want to say 1980s or something maybe where we had a
442. 1:23:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript dispute over this in the past and I think that the money was held the
443. 1:23:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript disputed money was held so it could be that the disputed money is escrowed
444. 1:23:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript until there's a resolution of it and that could be years so for quite some
445. 1:23:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript time neither the school system nor the city would be able to use those funds
446. 1:24:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript until a judge made a decision
447. 1:24:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that that I would have to get back to you but I think the money would be
448. 1:24:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript escrowed so whether or not we could use it if it's disputed I think if it's
449. 1:24:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript escrowed I don't think that the money would be released until there's a final
450. 1:24:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript decision I expect that the matter would be tried in the civil circuit court here
451. 1:24:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in Montgomery County that I think it would be appealed to Nashville by
452. 1:24:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whichever party lost and if the money were escrowed then I think
453. 1:24:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it would be held that long how long that would be it could be one or two
454. 1:24:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript years or until either party settles the matter okay so if there's an amendment
455. 1:24:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that puts a future date on this what would happen to the funds because
456. 1:24:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript technically we're not holding it from the school for one to two years whatever
457. 1:25:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that amendment might look like would it still be escrowed what would the future of
458. 1:25:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript amendment look like what what what is your amendment so are you saying you'll
459. 1:25:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript stop payments in it correct so stop payments we're in 2026 and let's say
460. 1:25:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 2028 for cool map that I guess that would depend on the county mayor and
461. 1:25:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what they chose to do if they were going to contest that I don't know if they were
462. 1:25:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just going to consider that as adequate notice and plan accordingly I guess what
463. 1:25:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I what I'm trying to prevent is if this passes
464. 1:25:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript next week that immediately money is going to be locked up that and this is
465. 1:25:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript taxpayer dollars that's going to be locked up and it's not going to be able
466. 1:25:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to be utilized in in anyone's budget but I'm asking if we put a future effective
467. 1:25:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript date of a couple of years into the next couple of years that money would not be
468. 1:25:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript escrowed does that am I making sense or correct I don't think the dispute would
469. 1:26:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript be ripe for that so I that money if it wasn't going to be stopped for two years
470. 1:26:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think that the court would
471. 1:26:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript escrow or hold that money back okay that's all the questions I have thank you
472. 1:26:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript mr. Bittner councilman Chandler for mr. Bittner or just generally just general
473. 1:26:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript okay everybody's heard me speak about this and when this was passed it was a
474. 1:26:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript totally completely different time if you'll notice the wording was originally
475. 1:26:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript earmarked for teacher salary
476. 1:26:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I'm guarantee you were at least four times more teachers now then we're here
477. 1:26:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript then so what is 3.4 million dollars going to do toward their salary when I
478. 1:27:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript look at it what would it do for the city 3.4 million 2.5 million for fire truck and
479. 1:27:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 2.7 million for fire truck and
480. 1:27:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 3.4 million 4.7 million and so forth and I don't think we can get it to the
481. 1:27:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right level we don't think it's a good thing we can't we don't think it's a good
482. 1:27:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thing to look at it that way I think we need to to look at it that way and I
483. 1:27:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think what we need to go through this with the good people I think the got to
484. 1:27:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript call it a tax bill in order to get it back in their hands because teachers
485. 1:27:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript themselves got to have that confidence because they're saying that that tax is
486. 1:27:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going to be a good thing and we're going to have to be careful about that because
487. 1:27:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript given this money when like the mayor said the amount of sidewalks that we've had to put in
488. 1:27:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the and we didn't have to i'm going to back up and take that back we didn't have to but we did
489. 1:28:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we saw where somebody needed help and this city jumped in and helped we pay for all of the school
490. 1:28:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript crossing i mean that is a large expense you've got personnel you've got uniforms you've got
491. 1:28:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript benefits and then the schools on lights and stuff they're they're not free
492. 1:28:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and honestly in truth and again we didn't pull the rug out from anybody
493. 1:28:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we went through our budget process just exactly like the law required us to do
494. 1:28:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript do and so when we came to this if you remember i brought it up during budget
495. 1:28:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that was a five cent reduction uh there's no nice way to put this other than the city residents
496. 1:29:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are double taxed uh we and i
497. 1:29:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i'm not trying to start a war between the city and the county but the county people can come in here

508. 1:30:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript brown you recognized thank you mayor so i have a question this 20 percent was was that part on the
509. 1:31:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ballot no that was not that was not language it was on the ballot but it did say that the county
510. 1:31:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the city would enter into an agreement as to how that money would be used and so the city and
511. 1:31:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the county did and it was dedicated to instructional salaries okay so the tax say taxing
512. 1:31:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sales tax increase
513. 1:31:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at that time was just this is the sales tax increase and percentage is going to the school
514. 1:31:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript salaries because that's what i'm wondering you know if that 20 percent was told to the people
515. 1:31:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at that time this is what you're voting on to give that to the schools you know i could see
516. 1:31:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that needing to go back to a ballot if that 20 percent wasn't it was this is what we're
517. 1:31:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going to give the schools and then we just went and did an additional besides that
518. 1:31:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i stand to be corrected but i don't think it's specified on the ballot measure it was just an
519. 1:31:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript additional sales tax to support education okay and you know going back to another thing you know the
520. 1:32:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the residents outside the city you know they don't pay property taxes but they use
521. 1:32:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a lot of the resources that we provide but they do pay sales tax when they come into the city
522. 1:32:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whether they live you know in the county another state
523. 1:32:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript another county so that is where we get our money to help offset the property taxes so
524. 1:32:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i understand the need for it my only thing is is personally if we're gonna remove it from the
525. 1:32:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript schools i'd rather see it done you know over several years so that it's not a big hit at one
526. 1:32:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript time you know for the rest of the school year
527. 1:32:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the school system they know all right next year we're only going to get 15 the next year only 10
528. 1:33:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's just my thought of you know that way it gives them more time to plan for it so those are
529. 1:33:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just my thoughts on it councilman streetman you recognize thank you mayor uh mayor my question
530. 1:33:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript actually would kind of be to you in regard to it's similar to what he was stating but knowing that
531. 1:33:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript granted i know that you talked before that you had already had the conversations with them but
532. 1:33:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they have already passed the school systems budget the county's budget
533. 1:33:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript do you think if we put an effective date in there that started july 1 and i know we need the money
534. 1:33:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i don't disagree with that i see both sides of the coin on every bit of this and i know that
535. 1:33:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our citizens are double taxed but trying to also again trying to get this to work out because
536. 1:33:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript listening to the council person from ward 12 and the concern of that money just being tied up and
537. 1:33:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript benefiting no one do you think it would be something that if we were to set it as a july
538. 1:34:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 1 so they were to play able to plan for that for next year do you think that's something that could
539. 1:34:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript get worked out between now and then so that we don't run into the situation that the council
540. 1:34:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript person from well ward 12 was talking about it's possible anything's possible i mean if someone
541. 1:34:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript were going to take three and a half million dollars away from us i think we'd be we'd be
542. 1:34:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript lining up every every attorney on the fourth floor to try to protect it um knowing how scarce
543. 1:34:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript resources are for us um and they are scarce as we all know okay thank you mayor councilman clonch
544. 1:34:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you recognized uh thank you mr mayor i guess i'm gonna i'm gonna hop on first of all 1977 was a
545. 1:34:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript great year anything to do with your birth i wasn't born yet but i know it was a great year y'all are
546. 1:34:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bragging over here one year after that one year after that one year after that one year after that
547. 1:34:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that uh i guess my question would be our i guess a statement kind of in conjunction with ward 12
548. 1:34:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ward 10 and and ward uh nine is in the in the military we used a word called interoperability
549. 1:35:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is there you know moco likes to talk a lot about all the great things that they do for us
550. 1:35:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and i i've gotten poked in the eye quite a bit lately about moco and their infinite wisdom and
551. 1:35:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript god bless their hearts uh but the city of clarksville does a lot of great things as well
552. 1:35:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we sat in this room for many many hours to get to a dollar one uh i do believe that we do need the
553. 1:35:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript money back just as everyone else has stated i do not also want it to get locked up in some type of
554. 1:35:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript infinite box that we can't access and the ability to do a tiered system where and also with you sir
555. 1:35:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript nobody wants to give up any money but we do need it back and like what does that look like uh with
556. 1:35:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the county and the city sitting down together to say hey we know you don't want it to take the
557. 1:35:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript money or to give us the money but we need it back to come up with a plan together interoperability
558. 1:36:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript working together all of these things that they say what what does that look like and i know that
559. 1:36:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript previously sir you had said that you had talked to the county mayor but
560. 1:36:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is a real problem and we want to work together and i think that for the next generation
561. 1:36:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our kids
562. 1:36:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and our grandkids this is a moment of learning for all of us and moving the rocks forward
563. 1:36:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well yeah i did say that i had conversations and told the county the county government that we were
564. 1:36:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript considering it in march and then in april said that we were going to move forward with it but
565. 1:36:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this revenue was not included as we know in our current in our current city budget
566. 1:36:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so the mayor proposes and the council does
567. 1:36:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript disposes so i proposed this and if you all want to put an amendment on there to stagger it
568. 1:36:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or to delay the effective date then that's the will of this body
569. 1:37:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but where we stand we need the money no i understand we need the money to move keep
570. 1:37:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript moving forward i heard it said that you know teachers aren't going to get the kind of raise
571. 1:37:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that they deserve and i agree i'm for teachers getting all the money they can get but we had
572. 1:37:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to delay the increase of our city employees
573. 1:37:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript salary a 3% salary increase until January 9th so if you look at an
574. 1:37:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript annualized basis it's a cent half one and a half percent that's not keeping
575. 1:37:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pace with inflation so yeah we can sit down and negotiate with them but got to
576. 1:37:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript start somewhere no I've said they know that we're serious and they didn't they
577. 1:37:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript didn't take it lightly and they're not blowing up their back we may hear
578. 1:37:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript different in public comments but they're not blowing up their back yet
579. 1:37:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we need the money and I'm leaving office in five months right and I want
580. 1:38:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to make sure that the city residents get what they deserve they deserve a good
581. 1:38:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript school system and they deserve a functioning city government and we're
582. 1:38:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript functioning yes sir thank you sir you're welcome
583. 1:38:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman Peters Thank You mr. mayor this is a tough one because like
584. 1:38:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript everybody says it's
585. 1:38:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript people feel as though we don't want to support school systems when we do but
586. 1:38:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to say this somebody made a comment they don't want to start a war
587. 1:38:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm a former soldier I'll start a war County County residents pay 0% property
588. 1:38:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript taxes for the city but they use 100% of our infrastructure is that fair you asked
589. 1:38:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript me I say no we go into the county how often do people really go out and
590. 1:38:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript make any changes in their money but people continue to come into and
591. 1:38:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going to do some implementations it's better we recommend they come out to the
592. 1:38:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript county we pay more than our fair share well we paid 75 80 million dollars for
593. 1:38:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript schools this year on I support taking this money back I mean I challenge the
594. 1:39:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript next mayor make it fair make the make the county
595. 1:39:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript come to some sort of agreement why are we a city residence paying 100% property
596. 1:39:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript tax to the county I don't know property in the county I live in the city I paid them $2.10.
597. 1:39:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript cents. Why? Yet
598. 1:39:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript county residents pay us zero of $1.01.
599. 1:39:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It makes no sense to me. I just don't understand it.
600. 1:39:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We ain't even talking about the will tax we pay. We're just talking about property taxes.
601. 1:39:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're talking about city taxes here, doing all these things.
602. 1:39:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't understand who set this up the way that it's set up. We've got
603. 1:39:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sheriff's department. We've got the police department. We've got city council. We've got county
604. 1:39:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript commissioners. We're all doing the same thing.
605. 1:39:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What benefit do the city residents get from that? I'll stop there at war.
606. 1:39:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I challenge the next mayor to do something about it. We need to fix it.
607. 1:40:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Whoever the next mayor is, we need to fix it. It's unfair for the city.
608. 1:40:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Maybe the city paid 50% of the county taxes. I don't
609. 1:40:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript know. But we need to come up with something because it just ain't fair. And I get tired of reading
610. 1:40:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in social comments that this council makes money hand
611. 1:40:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript over fist for our little buyouts.
612. 1:40:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We get paid nothing but our salaries. That's what we get, right?
613. 1:40:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So learn what you're talking about and what you're discussing up there.
614. 1:40:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Learn that we do pay millions of dollars
615. 1:40:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the school system. It ain't the county footing the bill by themselves.
616. 1:40:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, everybody seems to think that the city does not participate
617. 1:40:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in any way for the schools when you read these dumb comments on social media.
618. 1:40:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Grow up, people. Learn what you're talking about before you make the comments.
619. 1:40:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we'll talk about it. Like I said, I challenge the next mayor to make it right.
620. 1:40:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I got to say.
621. 1:40:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato.
622. 1:40:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor. I agree with
623. 1:41:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the frustrations of Ward 3, but I do
624. 1:41:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just want, I've got the referendum pulled up. And Section 6 says the
625. 1:41:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript county judge is hereby authorized and instructed to contract with the proper
626. 1:41:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript officials of the city of Clarksville to provide for the division of
627. 1:41:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript housing.
628. 1:41:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He is authorized to not empty the
629. 1:41:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript fund.
630. 1:41:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The fund's
631. 1:41:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript money is not
632. 1:41:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going to go to the city
633. 1:41:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript general fund.
634. 1:41:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It doesn't matter how I feel.
635. 1:41:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that we need this money and I agree that it should be
636. 1:41:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript captured, but that is not what was
637. 1:41:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript voted.
638. 1:41:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript voted on and I hear you it was 1977 not that long ago apparently but it it was voted on and so my
639. 1:42:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript concerns remain the same we cannot sit up here as elected officials and ignore what was voted on
640. 1:42:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and just change our mind without going through the proper process I understand that Mr Bittner
641. 1:42:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript has been in touch with mtas but I do plan on bending his ear quite a bit more over the next
642. 1:42:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript week and I hope he's looking forward to it I think there's a better way of doing this that will not
643. 1:42:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript lock this money up in escrow um so I'm just asking that you all keep an open mind if we pass this as
644. 1:42:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is that money is very likely going to be escrowed and not only will it lower tax rates for this city
645. 1:42:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no one's going to be able to use it
646. 1:42:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but and that's my biggest concern is our tax dollars just being locked up till a judge figures
647. 1:42:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it out so that's all I have councilman Streetman I'd like to start by saying that 77 was 49 years
648. 1:42:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ago and I know that because that's the year I was born um but was this true confession
649. 1:43:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well I just wanted to point out apparently half most of the council up here wasn't born by then
650. 1:43:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was um mayor this obviously has to go through two readings
651. 1:43:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript even if it were effective today
652. 1:43:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's a resolution Oh you're right I apologize sorry I had a different one pulled up so I
653. 1:43:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript apologize okay so he goes into effect is it going to Lower anything or are we going to be able to
654. 1:43:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript utilize would we utilize the funds if it's not tied up and probate would we be able utilize it
655. 1:43:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for some of the things that we weren't able to do during the budget process well it would not lower
656. 1:43:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our certified property tax rate because that's already been said
657. 1:43:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and voted on by council and submitted to the state for their approval,
658. 1:43:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they get real ill when you try to change it.
659. 1:43:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we would not be able to do that.
660. 1:43:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would give us additional revenue,
661. 1:43:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I would caution us from spending money we don't have
662. 1:44:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because it will come in on a monthly allocation.
663. 1:44:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we need to be very careful, plus we need additional money to operate on.
664. 1:44:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, and I do have a concern, too.
665. 1:44:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that the county fire department will be hiring, I believe, quite a few here soon,
666. 1:44:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I'm not sure what their pay scale is,
667. 1:44:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we may need those funds so that we're not losing those going that direction to be able to pay.
668. 1:44:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Of course, I mean, I realize we as city taxpayers pay for the county fire department through.
669. 1:44:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, technically we don't because they utilize different funds to be able to do it.
670. 1:44:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand that explanation.
671. 1:44:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But anyway.
672. 1:44:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Going on with some of the things that you mentioned,
673. 1:44:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript us as city taxpayers that are also county taxpayers,
674. 1:44:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's not just the things you mentioned.
675. 1:44:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's also, if you remember during the budget,
676. 1:44:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we fund 50% of the regional planning commission.
677. 1:44:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We fund 50% of it, and we fund 50% of it because we're also city taxpayers and county taxpayers.
678. 1:45:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As was mentioned, there's a county fire department,
679. 1:45:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript although if a county resident,
680. 1:45:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a non-city resident has an accident inside the city limits,
681. 1:45:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our CPD is responding, our CFR is responding.
682. 1:45:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do not believe that the county fire department is going to be responding to those.
683. 1:45:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So there's a lot of costs that go along with that.
684. 1:45:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do know that I have had people from the ward reach out to me in regard to the whole double taxation side of it.
685. 1:45:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I get it.
686. 1:45:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like I said, I see both sides of the coin here without a doubt,
687. 1:45:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because that is a point that they have made,
688. 1:45:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because I think, and Mayor, you can correct me if I'm wrong,
689. 1:45:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I think about 70% of the taxpayers for the county live in the city
690. 1:45:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and are paying both of those.
691. 1:45:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so I know that we do have more students that attend the county schools,
692. 1:45:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or attend Clark's Montgomery County School System.
693. 1:46:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's more city students, but again, you also have 70%,
694. 1:46:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they're also paying for those schools through that.
695. 1:46:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So like I said, I do see both sides.
696. 1:46:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think both sides of the coin here without a doubt.
697. 1:46:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So thank you.
698. 1:46:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you're recognized.
699. 1:46:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
700. 1:46:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is actually a question for Mr. Bittner.
701. 1:46:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Please.
702. 1:46:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's about on the first page of the referendum in Section 1.
703. 1:46:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It seems to me, maybe I'm just misreading this,
704. 1:46:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that the referendum states a condition upon which this sales tax is levied.
705. 1:46:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's like almost to the very end where it states,
706. 1:46:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the amend to levy the local sales tax and use of tax at a rate of one-half
707. 1:46:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the rate levied in the Retailer Sales Tax Act, Chapter 30, Title 67,
708. 1:46:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as amended so long as the general state rate continues at 4.5%.
709. 1:46:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It doesn't appear to me that when this was written that they anticipated tax to go up.
710. 1:47:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is this not a condition that is,
711. 1:47:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
712. 1:47:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like because it's changed that it nullifies this in a way?
713. 1:47:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't understand, I guess, what this line is saying.
714. 1:47:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, you couldn't nullify the tax rate there without,
715. 1:47:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think this was the tax rate at the time in 1977.
716. 1:47:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It must have been what the tax rate was, 4.5%,
717. 1:47:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as opposed to, I think, now 5% plus we get the,
718. 1:47:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript additional tax on top of that.
719. 1:47:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, this being 4.5% and now being 5%,
720. 1:47:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are you saying does that nullify this?
721. 1:47:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I don't think it does.
722. 1:47:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, yeah, and that's, I guess, what I was saying,
723. 1:47:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because it seems to me like they put some type of condition in this.
724. 1:47:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I just wanted to double check on that,
725. 1:47:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because if that's the case, then it seems like we have...
726. 1:47:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, and I think that condition was applicable in 1977
727. 1:48:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when they were voting on this,
728. 1:48:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whether to add whatever rate,
729. 1:48:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the rate that they added onto the sales tax rate at that time
730. 1:48:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was conditioned on and must have been conditioned on
731. 1:48:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the general rate continuing at 4.5%.
732. 1:48:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, but because it has not and it has changed over time,
733. 1:48:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is that not something that needs to be revisited?
734. 1:48:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, I think, and again, I can take this back and read it,
735. 1:48:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I think that that condition applied at the time in 1977.
736. 1:48:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it wasn't a continuing condition.
737. 1:48:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
738. 1:48:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, I guess I'm just trying to get clarification on the conditions
739. 1:48:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that they seem to try to implement in here.
740. 1:48:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And because at that point, then I was just trying to just understand,
741. 1:48:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is there really a need for a vote and where we're going with this?
742. 1:49:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But yeah, yeah, I'm just trying to understand that's fine.
743. 1:49:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
744. 1:49:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
745. 1:49:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, thank you.
746. 1:49:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Holliman.
747. 1:49:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
748. 1:49:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
749. 1:49:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if this were to pass in this scenario that we're talking about
750. 1:49:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then it goes before a judge in Nashville,
751. 1:49:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what would the legal costs look like?
752. 1:49:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know what the legal costs for the city would look like,
753. 1:49:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it would be, I think we have four attorneys upstairs,
754. 1:49:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so it would be significant man hours devoted to the case,
755. 1:49:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whatever we are by the hour,
756. 1:49:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or multiple hours,
757. 1:49:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like that,
758. 1:49:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but significant man hours,
759. 1:49:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I don't think it would be out of pocket
760. 1:49:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript other than the cost of filing a lawsuit
761. 1:49:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or a cost of filing an appeal.
762. 1:49:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
763. 1:49:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the man hours would certainly be devoted to it.
764. 1:49:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it would take up already stretched legal resources.
765. 1:50:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, I mean,
766. 1:50:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there would be significant time devoted to researching
767. 1:50:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and writing the briefs
768. 1:50:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and arguing the matter in the court,
769. 1:50:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in the appellate court,
770. 1:50:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if it were to go that far.
771. 1:50:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Could,
772. 1:50:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in court,
773. 1:50:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript could it grow to require outside legal counsel?
774. 1:50:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I guess that would be,
775. 1:50:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if we were stretched,
776. 1:50:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean,
777. 1:50:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if we are inundated with lawsuits,
778. 1:50:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
779. 1:50:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript between now and then,
780. 1:50:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's hard to say what the future would hold,
781. 1:50:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it could reach,
782. 1:50:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean,
783. 1:50:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I could say it could reach that if we're taxed out.
784. 1:50:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know,
785. 1:50:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if we are able to continue,
786. 1:50:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if we continue to dispose of cases when they come in,
787. 1:50:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript then not.
788. 1:50:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I mean,
789. 1:50:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript historically,
790. 1:50:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript prior to,
791. 1:50:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what,
792. 1:50:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is my third year,

794. 1:50:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 2022,
795. 1:51:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there was quite a bit of outside counsel used.
796. 1:51:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
797. 1:51:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
798. 1:51:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
799. 1:51:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
800. 1:51:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think I heard at the finance committee
801. 1:51:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the first time in memory
802. 1:51:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that there were no outside counsel legal bills
803. 1:51:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to be submitted.
804. 1:51:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's correct.
805. 1:51:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That is correct.
806. 1:51:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was.
807. 1:51:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You didn't get enough credit for that or applause,
808. 1:51:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so thank you.

880. 1:53:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
881. 1:53:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they have rates.

886. 1:53:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if there's,
887. 1:53:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and there's a penalty if we don't pay the rates,
888. 1:53:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all right,

891. 1:53:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Same thing with CDE.
892. 1:53:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now with the parking commission,
893. 1:53:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no,
894. 1:53:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's an enterprise,
895. 1:53:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's not an enterprise,
896. 1:54:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right?
897. 1:54:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
898. 1:54:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's not self sustaining as an,
899. 1:54:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as a true enterprise.
900. 1:54:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's my dilemma.
901. 1:54:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And as a council member,
902. 1:54:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
903. 1:54:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from board for brought up earlier,
904. 1:54:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our job is to,
905. 1:54:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is to bring things for this body that we see that is,
906. 1:54:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is out of order.
907. 1:54:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think this is out of order.
908. 1:54:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
909. 1:54:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript mayor,
910. 1:54:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
911. 1:54:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it,
912. 1:54:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it may not be on you,
913. 1:54:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's definitely gonna be on the next mayor,
914. 1:54:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
915. 1:54:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we're going to have a debt that we keep growing,
916. 1:54:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
917. 1:54:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with the parking commission.
918. 1:54:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's another thing that the next mayor is going to have to put on his plate to figure
919. 1:54:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript out.
920. 1:54:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
921. 1:54:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this,
922. 1:54:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this configuration that's currently that we're currently in as an enterprise,
923. 1:54:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's going to change,
924. 1:54:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
925. 1:54:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because again,
926. 1:54:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's costing us a lot of money.
927. 1:54:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's costing taxpayers money.
928. 1:54:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So when you talk about costing taxpayers money,
929. 1:54:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is another system that has failed.
930. 1:54:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's costing us money.
931. 1:54:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And mayor,
932. 1:54:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
933. 1:54:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if I'm not mistaken,
934. 1:55:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I can ask,
935. 1:55:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or you can ask Heather to come up just to confirm how much did we lose,
936. 1:55:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
937. 1:55:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or how much,
938. 1:55:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript how much in the whole have we went into for 2026,
939. 1:55:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
940. 1:55:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as an enterprise fund.
941. 1:55:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
942. 1:55:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Without objection,
943. 1:55:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ms.
944. 1:55:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Boyd,
945. 1:55:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you'll recall,
946. 1:55:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the parking division is under our building facility maintenance department.
947. 1:55:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Heather Boyd,
948. 1:55:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
949. 1:55:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript came over to,
950. 1:55:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and to run that division from our finance and revenue department.
951. 1:55:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So councilman Shekinah,
952. 1:55:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you don't mind,
953. 1:55:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ask the questions and Ms.
954. 1:55:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Boyd will answer.
955. 1:55:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you,
956. 1:55:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ms.
957. 1:55:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Boyd,
958. 1:55:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
959. 1:55:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for just for 2026.
960. 1:55:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
961. 1:55:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I,
962. 1:55:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I know that we went into the hole cause I'm on this commission.
963. 1:55:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
964. 1:55:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript do you,
965. 1:55:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript can you give us a number of what we went into the hole?
966. 1:55:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
967. 1:55:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
968. 1:55:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so our net profit,
969. 1:55:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or loss position was negative $219,000.
970. 1:55:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
971. 1:55:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
972. 1:55:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's just one example.
973. 1:55:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if we go back,
974. 1:55:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we start going back to years and peel this thing,
975. 1:55:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's an up and down thing.
976. 1:55:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But right now we're paying a maintenance fee or we're paying a fee on the free parking.
977. 1:56:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This city encouraged that cost.
978. 1:56:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's,
979. 1:56:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it may be two hours of free parking for the,
980. 1:56:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the folks that are visiting,
981. 1:56:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but somebody is paying a fee to that.
982. 1:56:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's relatively small.
983. 1:56:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But every month it's going to continue to add up.
984. 1:56:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this 200,000,
985. 1:56:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's going to keep growing.
986. 1:56:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And where is that money coming from?
987. 1:56:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's going to come out of one of these departments budget.
988. 1:56:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the mayor and the CFO,
989. 1:56:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're going to have to figure out who's going to eat this money.
990. 1:56:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
991. 1:56:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's all I really have to say.
992. 1:56:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh,
993. 1:56:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript next week we can vote up or down.
994. 1:56:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
995. 1:56:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've done my job.
996. 1:56:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I brought it to the council.
997. 1:56:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I presented the problem.
998. 1:56:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I gave,
999. 1:56:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1000. 1:56:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at least a short answer.
1001. 1:56:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's going to start to a solution.
1002. 1:56:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think one council member has added something to that and hopefully other council members
1003. 1:56:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript will.
1004. 1:56:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But if this body votes to push it down the road,
1005. 1:56:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's just going to be a problem for the next mayor.
1006. 1:56:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have,
1007. 1:57:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ma'am.
1008. 1:57:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
1009. 1:57:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you,
1010. 1:57:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ms.
1011. 1:57:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Boyd.
1012. 1:57:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman,
1013. 1:57:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're recognized.
1014. 1:57:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you,
1015. 1:57:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript mayor.
1016. 1:57:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've spent some time attending the downtown meeting the past couple of months,
1017. 1:57:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trying to,
1018. 1:57:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
1019. 1:57:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript talk to the business owners and those that are going to be great.
1020. 1:57:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And,
1021. 1:57:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we've all been completely affected by this.
1022. 1:57:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1023. 1:57:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when you think about a $40 tickets,
1024. 1:57:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you,
1025. 1:57:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
1026. 1:57:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript come down and stay beyond the amount of time that you're supposed to stay,
1027. 1:57:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is definitely not incentive to bring our business,
1028. 1:57:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bring people down to our businesses downtown.
1029. 1:57:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These are locally owned businesses.
1030. 1:57:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're not talking about your larger corporations that you have,
1031. 1:57:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1032. 1:57:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript up and down Walmart Rudolph Boulevard.
1033. 1:57:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The more that you have come down here and look to all the various different businesses,
1034. 1:57:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that they have here,
1035. 1:57:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whether it's going to get something to eat,
1036. 1:57:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript grabbing something from one of the shops and visiting everything that we have to offer in the very beautiful downtown that we have.
1037. 1:57:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just think this is going to be very detrimental to them.
1038. 1:58:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that they,
1039. 1:58:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript their belief is we've started using this,
1040. 1:58:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this two hour free parking that we have going on downtown as it is.
1041. 1:58:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can we first see how this is going to do and what effect this has on our downtown area?
1042. 1:58:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Before we turn around and change it again.
1043. 1:58:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I know it was previously stated that we can make this change now.
1044. 1:58:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if we need to change something again in six months,
1045. 1:58:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we can change something again in six months,
1046. 1:58:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but also continuing to have things change is not,
1047. 1:58:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
1048. 1:58:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not going to be conducive to business downtown either because nobody ever knows what the rules are.
1049. 1:58:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If it's this way,
1050. 1:58:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript one time,
1051. 1:58:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this way,
1052. 1:58:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript another time,
1053. 1:58:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this way,
1054. 1:58:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript another time,
1055. 1:58:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I myself don't want to see us completely changing things out for our downtown area.
1056. 1:58:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1057. 1:58:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whether it's doing away with the parking commission,
1058. 1:58:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trying to go back to the way things were many years ago when we had a downtown parking authority.
1059. 1:58:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that if I got a ticket,
1060. 1:58:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my little $5 ticket,
1061. 1:58:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my envelope,
1062. 1:58:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I could take it and go pay it.
1063. 1:58:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if I didn't,
1064. 1:58:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it doubled to $10.
1065. 1:59:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now,
1066. 1:59:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like I said,
1067. 1:59:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what you're talking about is a $40 ticket.
1068. 1:59:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that's going to be very detrimental to what our downtown businesses are trying to do.
1069. 1:59:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I also have a concern when it comes to our police department.
1070. 1:59:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These are going to have to be sworn officers that are going around because only a sworn officer,
1071. 1:59:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript can issue a ticket that can be enforced in,
1072. 1:59:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
1073. 1:59:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the city court.
1074. 1:59:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well,
1075. 1:59:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you have something that occurs,
1076. 1:59:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's going on,
1077. 1:59:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript those officers that are now walking around trying to maintain parking,
1078. 1:59:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1079. 1:59:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as far as metered parking,
1080. 1:59:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're going to have to go deal with something else.
1081. 1:59:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So you're going to have no one monitoring that during that because their main concern is going to be dealing with an emergency.
1082. 1:59:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And our police department has never been in a business of
1083. 1:59:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trying to make money.
1084. 1:59:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're not looking to be a profit center.
1085. 1:59:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're looking to serve the public safety of our citizens.
1086. 1:59:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I take issue with what we have in here regarding that.
1087. 1:59:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again,
1088. 1:59:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript having spent time talking to our downtown business owners who want more of a say in the process of this here.
1089. 2:00:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1090. 2:00:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we should wait a while on it,
1091. 2:00:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or we amend this and there be changes that we need in some of the other areas because this doesn't just affect the parking in the downtown area.
1092. 2:00:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Then I can bring forward an amendment where it's looking at parking issues that we have throughout Clarksville,
1093. 2:00:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but taking the part out that's in our downtown area and does away with it.
1094. 2:00:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1095. 2:00:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript also knowing that once we have our,
1096. 2:00:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1097. 2:00:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript performing arts center built and opened,
1098. 2:00:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're going to have more parking that's going to be occurring in the garage.
1099. 2:00:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript At that time,
1100. 2:00:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're going to be able to utilize charging for parking during events like that,
1101. 2:00:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just as we see with other,
1102. 2:00:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the other,
1103. 2:00:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript parking garage that we have in the downtown area.
1104. 2:00:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can utilize that helping to pay for the bill,
1105. 2:00:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but if people aren't coming downtown,
1106. 2:00:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're not going to get any of the parking money that you're planning on to try and pay for that.
1107. 2:00:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just my opinion that we wait on anything that has to do with changes in our downtown area.
1108. 2:01:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato,
1109. 2:01:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're recognized.
1110. 2:01:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you,
1111. 2:01:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mayor.
1112. 2:01:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1113. 2:01:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just want to start by thanking the sponsor of this,
1114. 2:01:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the parking commission and the issues that we were,
1115. 2:01:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're having was absolutely not on my radar.
1116. 2:01:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so I have had so much fun going down this rabbit hole of reviewing previous minutes,
1117. 2:01:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript previous audits.
1118. 2:01:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1119. 2:01:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have a very lovely Desmond study on our website.
1120. 2:01:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so it's,
1121. 2:01:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's been,
1122. 2:01:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's been pretty eye opening in 2023.
1123. 2:01:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1124. 2:01:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our,
1125. 2:01:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
1126. 2:01:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript city audit department did audit the parking department.
1127. 2:01:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so yesterday at our meeting,
1128. 2:01:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it was decided that they are going to,
1129. 2:01:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are going to follow up on some of those suggestions that were made and that should be presented at the audit committee's October meeting.
1130. 2:01:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So next week I am going to be proposing,
1131. 2:01:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1132. 2:01:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to motion for it to be deferred until at least November so that we can review what those changes were.
1133. 2:02:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1134. 2:02:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are those suggestions words,
1135. 2:02:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but within those suggestions,
1136. 2:02:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript none of it said that we needed to eliminate the parking commission.
1137. 2:02:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was not a suggestion in any of the audit forms.
1138. 2:02:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1139. 2:02:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like the previous speaker,
1140. 2:02:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have concerns about putting this on our police department or even building codes.
1141. 2:02:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any of our other departments,
1142. 2:02:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all of them are stretched thin,
1143. 2:02:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1144. 2:02:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because this isn't just about parking rates.
1145. 2:02:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1146. 2:02:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1147. 2:02:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're looking at,
1148. 2:02:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're looking at rates.
1149. 2:02:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're looking at leases,
1150. 2:02:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript garage operations,
1151. 2:02:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript budgeting,
1152. 2:02:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript enterprise fund management,
1153. 2:02:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript technology,
1154. 2:02:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript longterm planning,
1155. 2:02:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript communicating with downtown business owners,
1156. 2:02:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript et cetera.
1157. 2:02:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think our police chief has the bandwidth and he can come up with a plan.
1158. 2:02:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He can correct me if I'm wrong,
1159. 2:02:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I don't think he has the bandwidth to take all of that on.
1160. 2:02:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1161. 2:02:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I also would just like to encourage the council members to,
1162. 2:02:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we need to proceed with caution whenever we're looking at eliminating a layer of oversight.
1163. 2:02:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's what we're doing with eliminating the parking commission.
1164. 2:03:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1165. 2:03:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there are absolutely some adjustments that need to be made,
1166. 2:03:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but they're there to collect the voice and to help us run this city better.
1167. 2:03:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1168. 2:03:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but with all of that being said,
1169. 2:03:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before I bring amendments forward next week,
1170. 2:03:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do have some questions about the structure of our current parking situation.
1171. 2:03:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1172. 2:03:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript can somebody break down for me the structure of the parking department as far as the employees go?
1173. 2:03:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1174. 2:03:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand like our director,
1175. 2:03:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he had,
1176. 2:03:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he wears many hats,
1177. 2:03:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but there's over $200,000 in their budget for salaries.
1178. 2:03:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm just kind of curious where that,
1179. 2:03:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what kind of employees we're looking at under that.
1180. 2:03:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll call on Ms.
1181. 2:03:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Boyd if she's comfortable answering those questions.
1182. 2:03:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman,
1183. 2:03:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you wouldn't mind ask the question.
1184. 2:03:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh,
1185. 2:03:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in the parking commission's budget,

1187. 2:04:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Exactly.
1188. 2:04:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Who are those?
1189. 2:04:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Not their names,
1190. 2:04:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but what are their positions?
1191. 2:04:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we have our parking manager,
1192. 2:04:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1193. 2:04:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our director,
1194. 2:04:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as you said,
1195. 2:04:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he wears many hats.
1196. 2:04:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So in the budget,
1197. 2:04:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you'll see that he is only getting,
1198. 2:04:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 25% of his salary out of the parking budget.
1199. 2:04:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript His other 75% is out of building facilities maintenance.
1200. 2:04:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1201. 2:04:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have an admin,
1202. 2:04:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so she is kind of in charge of being the middleman between our citizens,
1203. 2:04:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript being able to answer the phone calls.
1204. 2:04:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,

1206. 2:04:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1207. 2:04:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we also have our enforcement officer.
1208. 2:04:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have one full time employee currently.
1209. 2:04:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1210. 2:04:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have a maintenance individual,
1211. 2:04:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so he,
1212. 2:04:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he cleans our garages.
1213. 2:04:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We are spending a lot of money and outside services as far as contracting,

1218. 2:04:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so we hired a full time there.
1219. 2:04:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then we have one vacancy currently for another enforcement officer.
1220. 2:05:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1221. 2:05:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So just to clarify,
1222. 2:05:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you only have one enforcement officer,
1223. 2:05:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is the person that goes around and writes the tickets.
1224. 2:05:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Correct.
1225. 2:05:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1226. 2:05:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then the maintenance person,
1227. 2:05:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they are full time specifically only for the garage.
1228. 2:05:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They do not do,
1229. 2:05:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they are doing a lot of things.
1230. 2:05:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,

1233. 2:05:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's including meter maintenance.
1234. 2:05:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So anytime someone hits one of our meters,
1235. 2:05:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he goes out,
1236. 2:05:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1237. 2:05:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sets concrete,
1238. 2:05:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript those kinds of things,
1239. 2:05:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1240. 2:05:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript parking signs.
1241. 2:05:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So any of the signs that our garages he's in charge of installing those,
1242. 2:05:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1243. 2:05:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1244. 2:05:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript drainage mitigation.
1245. 2:05:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When we have a lot of these storms and the trees that are near our garages,
1246. 2:05:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have a lot of issues with drainage.
1247. 2:05:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1248. 2:05:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so he goes through and cleans all the drains out.
1249. 2:05:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1250. 2:05:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so it,
1251. 2:05:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript yes,
1252. 2:05:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he focuses on the garage a lot and tries to,
1253. 2:05:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but he does all of the areas where there's any meters or parking areas in the
1254. 2:05:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript downtown.
1255. 2:05:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What is the current process?
1256. 2:06:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If there's a downtown business owner,
1257. 2:06:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what is the current process for them to get ahold of the maintenance person
1258. 2:06:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to take care of some of those things?
1259. 2:06:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we would be the avenues,
1260. 2:06:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript either me or Mikey.
1261. 2:06:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they could reach out to us and let us know the issue.
1262. 2:06:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then we could kind of direct him.
1263. 2:06:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1264. 2:06:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we currently still use the building facilities,
1265. 2:06:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript maintenance,
1266. 2:06:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript work order system.
1267. 2:06:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So he actually is tracked,
1268. 2:06:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1269. 2:06:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all of his jobs that he's done since he's joined our team.
1270. 2:06:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1271. 2:06:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when it comes to,
1272. 2:06:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I don't know if this is a you question or someone else,
1273. 2:06:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1274. 2:06:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript does the commission approve,
1275. 2:06:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1276. 2:06:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the number of employees?
1277. 2:06:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand you have one vacancy,
1278. 2:06:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but if you were going to add more to the parking department,
1279. 2:06:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would the commission have to approve those or would the city council city
1280. 2:06:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript council,
1281. 2:06:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because it's based on the budget approval process.
1282. 2:06:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it would be based on recommendations of the mayor.
1283. 2:06:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then you guys approve our parking budget,
1284. 2:06:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which includes those positions.
1285. 2:07:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How much debt total is the parking commission responsible for today?
1286. 2:07:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What is the lump sum number?
1287. 2:07:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1288. 2:07:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the total lump sum of the debt.
1289. 2:07:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know,
1290. 2:07:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I can say that our fund balance is negative 19 million,
1291. 2:07:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 415 and $325.
1292. 2:07:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1293. 2:07:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is taking in consideration the debt service for the garage.
1294. 2:07:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1295. 2:07:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you look at our FY 24 numbers,
1296. 2:07:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our fund balance was $1.2 million in the positive.
1297. 2:07:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And now that that is being counted against us,
1298. 2:07:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1299. 2:07:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're in the hole significantly.
1300. 2:07:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh,
1301. 2:07:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is what's really wanted.
1302. 2:07:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're trying to bring to your attention.
1303. 2:07:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1304. 2:07:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I ran some numbers in support of council member from word 11,
1305. 2:07:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bringing this forward to you guys.
1306. 2:07:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1307. 2:07:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you look at just from fiscal year,
1308. 2:07:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 2024 to 25,
1309. 2:07:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there was a decrease in net loss position of $216,472.
1310. 2:08:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Between FY 25 and 26,
1311. 2:08:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there was a decrease in $216,472.
1312. 2:08:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's $426,000.
1313. 2:08:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so in just looking back three fiscal years,
1314. 2:08:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1315. 2:08:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's $426,000.
1316. 2:08:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1317. 2:08:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and like I said,
1318. 2:08:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our fund balance is now negative.
1319. 2:08:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1320. 2:08:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and as council person said,
1321. 2:08:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is now being funded by taxpayer dollars.
1322. 2:08:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I,
1323. 2:08:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand that this council,
1324. 2:08:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and this might be a question for you,
1325. 2:08:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mayor Pitts.
1326. 2:08:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand this council approves their employees and their budget.
1327. 2:08:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Where does the commission's authority come into play for approving those things though?
1328. 2:08:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They have no,
1329. 2:08:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they have no operational authority,
1330. 2:08:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which they shouldn't have because it's a budgetary issue.
1331. 2:08:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that lies by city charter and city code within the city council.
1332. 2:08:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1333. 2:08:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they set rates,
1334. 2:09:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
1335. 2:09:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they hear appeals.
1336. 2:09:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh,
1337. 2:09:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and as you've heard from the councilman,
1338. 2:09:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the sponsor of this,
1339. 2:09:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript their meetings last three and four hours hearing appeals.
1340. 2:09:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this would streamline a lot of the process and I think make it more efficient,
1341. 2:09:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript frankly.
1342. 2:09:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1343. 2:09:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I,
1344. 2:09:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this isn't a question.
1345. 2:09:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is a statement,
1346. 2:09:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I do have more questions.
1347. 2:09:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do think it's a bit unfair to point a finger at the commission right now and insinuate in any way that they're failing at their job when they're responsible for $19 million in debt.
1348. 2:09:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we're not giving them any say on the budget and how much is being spent and where it's being spent.
1349. 2:09:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand that there's a fine line between operational decisions and where their authority is,
1350. 2:09:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I think that might be a,
1351. 2:09:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1352. 2:09:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when we're looking at fixing the process here,
1353. 2:09:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that might be something that we need to look at.
1354. 2:09:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1355. 2:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when I looked back on the minutes for the last 12 months,
1356. 2:10:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1357. 2:10:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there were several items that were supposed to be voted on.
1358. 2:10:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some of them passed,
1359. 2:10:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but a lot of them were just not voted on.
1360. 2:10:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then I couldn't find in the future minutes where that was brought back up.
1361. 2:10:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What is the current process for following up on the decisions that they make within the commission meetings?
1362. 2:10:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1363. 2:10:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we kind of set dates is so we personally within our department keep up with those dates of,
1364. 2:10:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hey,
1365. 2:10:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we want to look at this once the performing arts center is built.
1366. 2:10:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A lot of the things that are happening within the parking department right now are based on these future things being established,
1367. 2:10:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript built functioning and bringing more citizens and individuals to our downtown.
1368. 2:10:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1369. 2:10:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so a lot of it is getting pushed because we don't feel comfortable making the decisions now.
1370. 2:10:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's we,
1371. 2:10:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as in management and the parking commission.
1372. 2:10:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1373. 2:10:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I do want to bring attention because you had said,
1374. 2:11:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1375. 2:11:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the financial responsibility piece.
1376. 2:11:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the financial responsibility piece,
1377. 2:11:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1378. 2:11:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is the revenues,
1379. 2:11:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1380. 2:11:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is their financial responsibility.
1381. 2:11:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No,
1382. 2:11:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they don't have a say in the operational standpoint,
1383. 2:11:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we're supposed to work as a team,
1384. 2:11:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1385. 2:11:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to,
1386. 2:11:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hey,
1387. 2:11:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the revenues need to support our operations because by the definition of the enterprise fund,
1388. 2:11:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is what's supposed to happen.
1389. 2:11:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1390. 2:11:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we currently are offering,
1391. 2:11:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not sure if you guys are aware,

1396. 2:11:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In customers.
1397. 2:11:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1398. 2:11:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would attribute that to less people using meters,
1399. 2:11:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1400. 2:11:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and registering these park mobile sessions.
1401. 2:11:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Cause that's the only way that it was accessible.
1402. 2:11:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1403. 2:11:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that was a concern of management on our part that we were not accessing our full public with this two hours free.
1404. 2:11:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1405. 2:11:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript however,
1406. 2:11:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the commission decided to push it forward.
1407. 2:11:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But because of this program,
1408. 2:11:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we are negative,
1409. 2:11:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1410. 2:12:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript $179,000 in revenue total between fiscal year.
1411. 2:12:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But just from that program,
1412. 2:12:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript specifically,
1413. 2:12:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you just look at our one account,
1414. 2:12:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is park mobile fees,
1415. 2:12:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's a $81,000 decrease with an additional,
1416. 2:12:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we are paying for people to park because we're paying 18 so far in fiscal year,
1417. 2:12:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 2026,
1418. 2:12:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we paid $18,000 and 200,
1419. 2:12:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well,
1420. 2:12:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript $18,213 to for citizens to access that two hours free because it is on that park mobile system.
1421. 2:12:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's a,
1422. 2:12:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's a convenience charge that the commission decided that we would cover for the citizens.
1423. 2:12:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So just instances like that is,
1424. 2:12:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1425. 2:12:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the financial responsibility of the rates need to support an enterprise fund.
1426. 2:12:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's why we're bringing this forward is it's not currently,
1427. 2:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I agree.
1428. 2:12:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh,
1429. 2:12:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when it comes to the revenue,
1430. 2:12:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1431. 2:12:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there are certain aspects that I have questions about,
1432. 2:13:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1433. 2:13:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like the EV chargers.
1434. 2:13:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Do we have an update on that contract?
1435. 2:13:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What do you mean as far as the contract?
1436. 2:13:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so from there's some confusion with the commissioners that where,
1437. 2:13:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what,
1438. 2:13:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where we're at in the process of even contracting because they have not seen the revenue from the EV,
1439. 2:13:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the,
1440. 2:13:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1441. 2:13:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the chargers in the parking garage.
1442. 2:13:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they voted that that would be completely free to the citizens.
1443. 2:13:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not sure of the date on those minutes.
1444. 2:13:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I could definitely look into that and get you a specific date that they voted on it.
1445. 2:13:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was within the most recent year.
1446. 2:13:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1447. 2:13:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because I joined the team in February of 25.
1448. 2:13:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1449. 2:13:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I know it was more recently.
1450. 2:13:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We got the chargers up and running.
1451. 2:13:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have 16 of them in the first street garage.
1452. 2:13:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1453. 2:13:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but that is completely,
1454. 2:13:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they voted that the citizens would not cover anything.
1455. 2:13:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that means we're covering electricity on our bill from CDE as well as the charge.
1456. 2:14:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1457. 2:14:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1458. 2:14:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so there's currently no contract being negotiated for charging.
1459. 2:14:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For those EVs then it's not even in the purview right now.
1460. 2:14:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No,
1461. 2:14:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have.
1462. 2:14:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So when we built the garage,
1463. 2:14:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we,
1464. 2:14:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the contractors installed them.
1465. 2:14:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we have charge point.
1466. 2:14:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We are in contract technically with them.
1467. 2:14:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1468. 2:14:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that's how individuals are using our charging stations is because we have the charge point contract,
1469. 2:14:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but that was set up within the building of the garage.
1470. 2:14:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What about the,
1471. 2:14:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the tracking for the revenue?
1472. 2:14:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand that there's not quotas for the enforcement officers,
1473. 2:14:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but are we looking at things like how many tickets,
1474. 2:14:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1475. 2:14:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at certain times of day in which areas,
1476. 2:14:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript et cetera,
1477. 2:14:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1478. 2:14:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because when,
1479. 2:14:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if I were on the commission,
1480. 2:14:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'd want that kind of information so that I could set rates appropriately and make decisions.
1481. 2:14:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Are we tracking anything like that in any way?
1482. 2:14:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Management is,
1483. 2:14:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we've offered information like this.
1484. 2:15:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And of course we always tell our commission members,
1485. 2:15:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like always ask if there's additional details that you need in your management report.
1486. 2:15:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1487. 2:15:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because each month I tried to give analytics as far as,
1488. 2:15:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1489. 2:15:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript how much we spent for the EV charging stations.
1490. 2:15:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1491. 2:15:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I show how many tickets were written.
1492. 2:15:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1493. 2:15:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I show how many were paid versus unpaid versus voided to just try to give them information.
1494. 2:15:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So,
1495. 2:15:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no,
1496. 2:15:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we are not currently adding that to our management reports,
1497. 2:15:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's because we haven't been asked to add that.
1498. 2:15:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've.
1499. 2:15:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Continuously kind of been like,
1500. 2:15:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hey,
1501. 2:15:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what can we provide you that would help?
1502. 2:15:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I do think at this most recent meeting,
1503. 2:15:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they asked for that and we'll be asking that,
1504. 2:15:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript adding that for future parking commission meetings.
1505. 2:15:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Perfect.
1506. 2:15:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So going,
1507. 2:15:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
1508. 2:15:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript keeping with the revenue,
1509. 2:15:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because that's,
1510. 2:15:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's the driving force,
1511. 2:15:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right?
1512. 2:15:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're in all this debt.
1513. 2:15:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to make the money.
1514. 2:15:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1515. 2:15:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript does the parking manager or the director have the authority to determine where meters are placed,
1516. 2:15:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1517. 2:15:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where city parking is,
1518. 2:16:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1519. 2:16:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript loading zones,
1520. 2:16:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript blocked off parking spots,
1521. 2:16:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript things like that,
1522. 2:16:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or does that always go in front of the commission for decisions?
1523. 2:16:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it,
1524. 2:16:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we try to work hand in hand because of course they have to have a say in anything effect that affects our revenues.
1525. 2:16:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So a lot of it,
1526. 2:16:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have to bring to their attention and say,
1527. 2:16:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hey,
1528. 2:16:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1529. 2:16:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we would like this to be a paid spot.
1530. 2:16:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1531. 2:16:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Do you guys approve?
1532. 2:16:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So yes,
1533. 2:16:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we do try to work hand in hand on those things.
1534. 2:16:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Have they ever voted on anything or made a decision that would have gone wrong?
1535. 2:16:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Against either our code charter or Tennessee law in any way?
1536. 2:16:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Not that I'm aware of.
1537. 2:16:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1538. 2:16:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1539. 2:16:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I guess where my confusion especially lies is with the collections of tickets that aren't paid.
1540. 2:16:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1541. 2:16:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript why can other cities collect on those without using the police department and Clarksville cannot?
1542. 2:16:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is it a state law issue?
1543. 2:16:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this might be a question for Mr.
1544. 2:17:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Bittner because he likes going up there.
1545. 2:17:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1546. 2:17:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is it a state law issue or is it a city code issue or is it a software issue?
1547. 2:17:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to let legal handle it because I do know that there is state regulations on it,
1548. 2:17:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I don't want to speak to it.
1549. 2:17:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if you would like me to come back up,
1550. 2:17:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm happy.
1551. 2:17:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah,
1552. 2:17:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript without objection,
1553. 2:17:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we'll ask Mr.
1554. 2:17:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Johnston,
1555. 2:17:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Zach Johnston,
1556. 2:17:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript assistant city attorney who's done a lot of work and doing research on this.
1557. 2:17:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So councilman Lovato,
1558. 2:17:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you would direct your question to Mr.
1559. 2:17:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Johnston.
1560. 2:17:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think the rest of my questions will be for you.
1561. 2:17:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1562. 2:17:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As long as it's not about my birthday.
1563. 2:17:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Last one.
1564. 2:17:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Your first question about how other cities are doing it.
1565. 2:17:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I always think it's not a great idea to compare how other cities are doing it because whether they're doing it the right way or the wrong way,
1566. 2:17:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we can't,
1567. 2:17:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we can't know until that's challenged somewhere down the line.
1568. 2:17:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I know that like Franklin,
1569. 2:17:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1570. 2:17:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Franklin uses,
1571. 2:17:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think,
1572. 2:17:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript transit employees,
1573. 2:17:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but that still keeps that in an enterprise fund is my understanding of the way that it would work here.
1574. 2:18:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1575. 2:18:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
1576. 2:18:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that Knoxville has been brought up in the past,
1577. 2:18:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but Knoxville is a home rule city.
1578. 2:18:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They get to do things that we don't get to do because of their,
1579. 2:18:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the,
1580. 2:18:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the form of government that they are.
1581. 2:18:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1582. 2:18:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What,
1583. 2:18:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1584. 2:18:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so is there any laws preventing,
1585. 2:18:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1586. 2:18:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the Clarksville parking commission from sending tickets to city courts in order to cite people into city court?
1587. 2:18:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have to be,
1588. 2:18:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you,
1589. 2:18:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you have to be one of those specifically enumerated.
1590. 2:18:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Employees,
1591. 2:18:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript government employees.
1592. 2:18:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So there,
1593. 2:18:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't believe they have the power to get those tickets into city because they're separate bodies.
1594. 2:18:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The only time you can try to get some sort of citation in this city court is to be one of those specifically enumerated employees.
1595. 2:18:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is there any law that prevents us from sending those people to collections without going to city court?
1596. 2:18:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not aware.
1597. 2:18:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not aware.
1598. 2:18:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh,
1599. 2:18:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not aware of one of my research.
1600. 2:19:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I didn't go look in that direction.
1601. 2:19:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So,
1602. 2:19:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
1603. 2:19:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to say that there's not a law out there,
1604. 2:19:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not,
1605. 2:19:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not comfortable saying that.
1606. 2:19:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1607. 2:19:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1608. 2:19:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's,
1609. 2:19:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's all the questions that I have.
1610. 2:19:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
1611. 2:19:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I,
1612. 2:19:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript again,
1613. 2:19:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will meet,

1615. 2:19:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript make a motion next month that this be postponed until we get the report back from our audit department.
1616. 2:19:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have.
1617. 2:19:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.

1728. 2:22:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's only inconvenience fees.
1729. 2:22:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So,

1749. 2:23:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If I could add,
1750. 2:23:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we did try to propose,

1752. 2:23:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the parking commission,
1753. 2:23:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but again,

1755. 2:23:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this was their decision,
1756. 2:23:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we just tried to provide data that,
1757. 2:23:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript either supported it,
1758. 2:23:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or did not.
1759. 2:23:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We try to offer,
1760. 2:23:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript peak hours,
1761. 2:23:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for instance,

1763. 2:23:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript free two hour parking.
1764. 2:23:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So,

1766. 2:23:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 12 to two,

1769. 2:23:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we were losing in revenues,
