[1. A public hearing will be held to consider the proposed plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated cost for the 9th Street SW Railroad Crossing Improvements between 10th Avenue SW and 14th Avenue SW project (estimated cost is $120,000) (Ken DeKeyser). CIP/DID #301994-18]

SPECIFICATIONS, FORM OF CONTRACT, AND ESTIMATED COST FOR THE NINTH STREET SOUTHWEST RAILROAD CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN TENTH AVENUE SOUTHWEST AND 14TH AVENUE SOUTHWEST PROJECT.

THIS IS AN ESTIMATED COST OF $120,000.

BRENNA FALL IS HERE. BRENNA, I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.

BRENNA FALL, PUBLIC WORKS. IS THAT BETTER? OKAY. I JUST NEED TO BE CLOSER. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. AGAIN, BRENNA FALL, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU.

THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE NINTH STREET SOUTHWEST RAILROAD CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

AS AN OVERVIEW, THIS IS DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DOT AND THE RAILROAD, WHICH IN THIS CASE IS CRANDIC.

IMPROVEMENTS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR THIS CROSSING THAT INCLUDE SURFACE PAVEMENT CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS.

AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED, EXCUSE ME, THE COST OPINION IS APPROXIMATELY $120,000, WE HAD PLANNED TO BID THIS PROJECT TOMORROW, JANUARY 10TH, WITH A LATE START DATE OF JUNE 3RD.

THE WORK WOULD TAKE PLACE THIS SUMMER AND THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE ALLOWED 20 WORKING DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WORK.

HERE'S A LOCATION MAP OF THIS CROSSING.

THIS IS ON NINTH STREET SOUTHWEST, AGAIN ONE OF THE CRANDIC CROSSINGS.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT CARGILL IS OFF TO THE LEFT OF THE IMAGE OR TO THE WEST, AND THEN OUR CITY SERVICES CENTER IS OFF TO THE EAST SO THAT GIVES YOU THE BEARINGS AS TO WHERE THIS CROSSING IS.

THIS IS AN IMAGE THAT JUST SHOWS SOME OF THE WORK THAT WILL BE DONE, AGAIN, IT'S THE PAVEMENT IN APPROACH TO THE CROSSING.

[00:15:02]

THE RAILROAD WILL COME IN AND REPLACE THE ACTUAL CROSSING WITHIN THE TRACKS.

THEN WE ARE ALSO IMPROVING THE SIDEWALK THROUGH THERE.

IT ENSURES A SAFER AND SMOOTHER CROSSING AND PROLONGS THE LIFE OF THAT PAVEMENT IN THE AREA.

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, BRENNA. THIS IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE HERE WISH TO ADDRESS? COUNCIL? LET THE RECORD INDICATE A PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN HELD WITH NO OBJECTIONS FOR THE RECORD.

COUNCIL, ANY COMMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY POE, SECONDED BY OVERLAND.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO. THIS MOTION CARRIES.

HERE IN THE CITY OF CEDAR RAPIDS, WE DO HAVE TWO PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS.

THE FIRST COMMENT PERIOD IS A CHANCE FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON ANY SUBJECT PERTAINING TO COUNCIL ACTION SCHEDULED FOR TODAY.

IT LOOKS AS THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK FOR THAT SO WE WILL MOVE ON IN OUR AGENDA, AND WE'LL HAVE A SECOND PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD COMING UP HERE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

CITY MANAGER POMERANZ, DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES TO THE AGENDA?

>> NO CHANGES, YOUR HONOR.

>> NO CHANGES. DO ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS NEED TO RECUSE THEMSELVES ON ANY AGENDA ITEMS OR MAKE ANY CHANGES? OKAY. I SEE NONE.

THAT BRINGS US A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA.

[MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA]

THE APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA HAS BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT OLSON, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER DALE TODD.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO. THIS MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA HAS BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER TYLER OLSON, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HOEGER.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO.

THIS MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL.

MOVING ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA FOR THE DAY. ITEM NUMBER 21.

[21. Presentation and resolution authorizing financial support under the City’s Local Match Economic Development Program for a proposed affordable housing project at 1220 Jacolyn Drive SW as proposed by KCG Development, LLC (Scott Mather). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #URTE-0052- 2022]

THIS IS A PRESENTATION AND RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING FINANCIAL SUPPORT UNDER THE CITY'S LOCAL MATCH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR PROPOSED AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT AT 1220 JACQUELINE DRIVE SOUTHWEST AS PROPOSED BY KCG DEVELOPMENT.

SCOTT MATHER IS HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS.

AND SCOTT, I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SCOTT MATHER, WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.

WE RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM KCG COMPANIES FOR CITY FINANCIAL INCENTIVES.

THE PROJECT DOES QUALIFY UNDER THE CITY'S LOCAL MATCH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

IN JUNE OF 2022, THE CITY COUNCIL HAD AUTHORIZED LOCAL MATCH APPLICATION FOR A 4% NON COMPETITIVE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT APPLICATION.

BUT DUE TO CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND FUNDING, THE PROJECT WAS PUT ON HOLD.

THEY'RE NOW SEEKING ANOTHER 9% COMPETITIVE TAX CREDIT FROM IOWA FINANCE AUTHORITY.

JUST AS A REMINDER, THIS IS THE PREVIOUS MAC BUILDING THAT WAS DEMOLISHED AFTER THE DERECHO DAMAGE.

THE STANDARD INCENTIVE IS A TEN-YEAR, 100% TAX EXEMPTION OF THE INCREASED VALUE IN TAXES.

HERE'S AN AERIAL SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY, CORNER OF 16TH AVENUE AND JACQUELYN DRIVE.

THIS IS A $16 MILLION INVESTMENT, WITH 58 TOTAL UNITS, A MIX OF ONE, TWO AND THREE BEDROOM UNITS.

THEY ARE ALL AFFORDABLE AT OR BELOW 60% AREA MEDIAN INCOME, WITH SOME OF THE UNITS ACTUALLY BELOW 40% AMI.

SOME OF THE AMENITIES INCLUDE A COMMUNITY CLUBHOUSE, COMMUNITY KITCHEN, WALKING PATHS, GAZEBO, SPORTS COURT, AND PLAYGROUND.

HERE IS A SITE PLAN FOR THE PROJECT, AND A FEW RENDERINGS.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT, AUTHORIZING THE STANDARD TEN-YEAR 100% EXEMPTION.

AN ESTIMATED 1.9 MILLION IN TAXES WOULD BE GENERATED OVER TEN YEARS, WITH AROUND 1 MILLION BEING EXEMPTED.

TODAY, WE'RE HERE FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT.

IN APRIL, THE APPLICATION TO IFA IS DUE, AND IF AWARDED, IN THE FALL OF '24, I WOULD RETURN TO CREATE THE URBAN REVITALIZATION AREA.

WITH THAT, I'LL RETURN IT BACK TO THE MAYOR.

>> ALL RIGHT, SCOTT. THANK YOU.

THAT BRINGS US TO COUNCIL.

THOUGHTS? QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBER VANORNY.

>> THANKS, MAYOR. THIS IS A REALLY DENSE MULTI-RESIDENTIAL AREA ANYWAY, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE'S STILL A LACK OF HOUSING THERE THAT WE LOST FROM THE DERECHO, SO I KNOW THAT IT'LL HELP BRING PEOPLE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEY HAVE A LOT OF CONNECTIONS.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE THEN COMMUNICATING WITH SOME OF THE FACILITY MASTER PLANS TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, BECAUSE I KNOW HOOVER IS ALREADY QUITE FULL, AND IT'S LIKELY THAT THOSE KIDS,

[00:20:01]

IF THEY'RE ELEMENTARY, WOULD GO TO HOOVER.

JUST AS LONG AS WE'RE COMMUNICATING THAT, I THINK THAT'S GOOD.

>> EXCELLENT POINT. COUNCIL MEMBER OLSON.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. YEAH, I THINK IT'S A GREAT REUSE OF THIS SITE BECAUSE THEY'RE SAVING THE TRAILS AND THE PONDS AND THE THINGS THAT WERE ALREADY THERE, PLUS SOME OF THE COURTS THAT WERE WITH THE FITNESS CLUB, PLUS THIS IS RIGHT ON THE BUS ROUTE.

THERE ARE SERVICES CLOSE, FAREWAY GROCERIES AND OTHERS REAL CLOSE.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT REUSE OF THAT LOCATION.

AGAIN, THIS IS AN AREA THAT'S DENSE IN HOUSING, AS MENTIONED.

THIS PROVIDES THE TYPE OF HOUSING, ESPECIALLY AT THE 60 AND THE 40% RATE.

THEN PEOPLE CAN USE THE SURROUNDING SERVICES AND TRANSPORTATION PLUS THE NEW LIBRARIES TWO BLOCKS AWAY THAT WE'LL BE DOING.

IT'S A VERY POSITIVE LOCATION.

I WAS HOPING SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD GET DEVELOPED THERE ON THIS CORNER, AND SO IT'S EXCITING TO SEE THEY CAME BACK, AND I'M GOING TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. THANKS.

>> ANYONE ELSE?

>> ALL RIGHT. IT CERTAINLY DOES ALIGN WITH THIS COUNCIL'S PRIORITIES REGARDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.

SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY VANORNY, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT OLSON.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO.

THE MOTION CARRIES. ITEM NUMBER 22 IS A PRESENTATION AND RESOLUTION ACCEPTING

[22. Presentation and resolution accepting the donation of a windmill sculpture at Hughes Park from Dwight Hughes (Stephanie Schrader). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #OB572855]

THE DONATION OF A WINDMILL SCULPTURE AT HUGHES PARK FROM DWIGHT HUGHES.

STEPHANIE SCHRADER IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

STEPHANIE, I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL.

STEPHANIE SCHRADER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

THE PUBLIC ART COMMISSION EVALUATES DONATION APPLICATIONS TO ENSURE APPROPRIATENESS FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY.

THE PUBLIC ART COMMISSION RECEIVED A DONATION APPLICATION FROM DWIGHT HUGHES FOR A WINDMILL SCULPTURE TO BE PLACED AT HUGHES PARK.

THE SCULPTURE IS 19.5 FEET TALL, MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM.

IT'S A SINGLE-POLE BASE WHICH YOU'LL SEE IN A MINUTE.

THE SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATION WOULD BE DONATED BY MR. HUGHES.

THE PICTURE YOU SEE HERE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE.

THIS HAS MULTI-LEGS FOR THE BASE, WHEREAS WHAT MR. HUGHES WOULD DONATE WOULD HAVE JUST ONE SINGLE POLL COMING DOWN.

THE ARTIST IS MICHAEL MISTLER AND HE'S FROM MISSOURI.

>> MITCH JOHNSON, PARK SUPERINTENDENT.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE UPDATE ON A FEW OF THE ADDITIONS THAT THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT HAS ADDED TO HUGHES PARK SINCE IT OFFICIALLY OPENED LAST FALL.

I'LL GO INTO THESE IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL, BUT JUST AS A LITTLE OVERVIEW, MADE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE BASKETBALL COURT TO ALLOW FOR WINTER ICE RINK, WHICH HOPEFULLY, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET SOME ICE GOING HERE PRETTY SOON.

A SWING SET, SOME TREE PLANTINGS, AND THEN SOME PRAIRIE POLLINATOR IMPROVEMENTS.

THE FIRST, AS I MENTIONED, STAFF WAS ABLE TO MODIFY THE EXISTING BASKETBALL COURT TO ALLOW IT TO BE FLOODED AND HOLD WATER.

AS I SAID, IT'S BEEN SUPER POPULAR FOR THE FEW WEEKS.

WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE IT OPEN LAST YEAR, AND WE'LL DO THAT AGAIN HERE IN THE COMING WEEKS.

THE SECOND THING WE DID WAS TO INSTALL A TWO BAY SWING SET THAT WAS INSTALLED THIS FALL, WHICH COMPLEMENTS THE REST OF THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THAT'S ALREADY OUT THERE NICELY.

IT ROUNDS IT OUT IN THAT REGARD.

THE NEXT COUPLE THINGS ARE JUST A LITTLE MORE TO ADD TO THE NATURE, AESTHETIC OF THE PARK.

THE FIRST ONE WAS SOME TREE PLANTS WE DID TO THE TUNA, $26,000 WORTH OF TREES.

THOSE WERE PLANTED THIS SPRING USING ALL NATIVE SPECIES; SMOKE, EVERGREEN, HICKORY AND WALNUT, AND I THINK JUST ADDS TO THE NATURE OF WHAT THE PARK IS AND USED TO BE AS A TREE NURSERY.

THAT WAS A REALLY COOL PROJECT.

THEN FINALLY, THERE'S A LARGER PARCEL, 2.5 ACRE PLUS PARCEL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PARK.

THAT'LL BE A NATURE WALK AND THIS IS WHERE WE'RE CONVERTING THE EXISTING TURF TO PRAIRIE POLLINATOR, WHICH WILL BE REALLY PRETTY.

IT'S A FLOWER HEAVY MIX, SO IT'LL REALLY POP WITH THE WILDFLOWERS, IT'D BE GREAT FOR LOCAL WILDLIFE. I THINK THAT WAS IT.

>> THE PUBLIC ART COMMISSION RECOMMENDED ACCEPTING THE SCULPTURE GIFT AT THEIR DECEMBER 14TH MEETING, NOTING SPARSE PUBLIC ART ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE, AND PENDING COUNCIL APPROVAL, THIS SCULPTURE WOULD BE INSTALLED AT HUGHES PARK IN THE SPRING OF 2024.

>> THANK YOU, STEPHANIE AND MITCH.

COUNCIL THOUGHTS, QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT OLSON?

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. IT'S BEEN EXCITING TO WATCH HOW THIS PARK IS CONVERTED AND GROWN AND ENHANCED.

[00:25:01]

AT FIRST IT WAS VERY BASIC, BUT WE JUST KEEP ADDING PIECES AND THE TREES ARE STARTING TO HAVE AN IMPACT PLUS THESE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.

I THINK IT'S EXCITING IN THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED THAT WAS NOT MANY PARK ACTIVITIES WITH UPGRADES IN THIS AREA.

THEN NOW WE ADD REALLY GOING TO BE SPECTACULAR PARK OVER BY THE LIBRARY, WE'RE GOING TO SEE TWO REALLY NICE UPDATED PARK FACILITIES THAT WILL SERVE THE SOUTHWEST SIDE.

I KNOW AT DELANEY PARK WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE AS WELL, WHICH ARE VERY DESPERATELY NEEDED THERE BECAUSE THAT'S A VERY ACTIVE PARK.

IT'S EXCITING TO WATCH THIS GREAT DONATION FROM THE HUGHES FAMILY AND WHAT THEY PUT INTO THIS, THE LAND, AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN IS A GREAT LEGACY FOR DWIGHT AND HIS FAMILY.

IT'S EXCITING TO SEE MORE THINGS GOING INTO THE PARK.

IT REALLY IS GOING TO MAKE IT A FIRST CLASS, NOT A POCKET PARK, BUT A REALLY VERY NICE ACTIVE PARK WITH A VARIETY OF AMENITIES.

THANK YOU. IT'S HARD TO SAY NO SOMETIMES TO A DONATION, BUT I KNOW THIS WILL BE A NICE ADDITION.

THAT'S REALLY WAS PRETTY COOL BECAUSE HE KEEPS ADDING ARTWORK WHICH IS VERY NICE.

THANK YOU FOR THE WORK ON THIS.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER POE. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I AGREE ON A BIG THANK YOU TO DWIGHT AND HIS FAMILY FOR THE DONATION.

I LOVE THESE SCULPTURES.

I'VE SEEN THEM BEFORE AND THEY'RE REALLY INTRIGUING AND INTERACTIVE AND I LOVE THAT.

ONE QUESTION, MITCH.

AS WOULD YOU GO BACK TO THE PICTURE OF THE POND, THERE WE GO.

ARE THERE ANY BENCHES AROUND THAT COURT OR PLACES TO PUT ON YOUR SKATES OR YOUR BASKETBALL SHOES? IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT, AIN'T IT?

>> YEAH. IT'S NOT PICTURED HERE, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE SPOTS TO PULL OFF.

NORMALLY, WHEN IT'S A BASKETBALL COURT, THERE ARE BENCHES WITHIN THE BASKETBALL COURT, WHICH IS JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT WE PULL THOSE SO WE CAN FLOOD IT.

BUT THERE'S STILL A COUPLE PLACES TO PULL OFF AND THEN THERE'S THE LITTLE PAVILION THAT'S PROBABLY 30 FEET AWAY FROM THIS THAT HAS THREE OR FOUR PICNIC TABLES THAT PEOPLE COULD GATHER AND CHANGE STUFF OUT.

>> THAT'S WHAT I NEED KNOW.

I DON'T ENVISION PEOPLE USING THEIR SKATES IN THEIR CARS.

ABSOLUTELY. MAKE SURE THEY CAN CHANGE THEM. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? COUNCIL MEMBER MAIER.

>> THANK YOU. THANKS FOR THE UPDATE, MITCH. QUESTION FOR YOU.

YOU MENTIONED THERE WERE $26,500 ON TREES.

APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY TREES WAS THAT? DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW?

>> OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I DON'T. BUT WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION.

>> NO. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. NOT CRITICAL.

BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE UPKEEP AND THE WATERING OF TREES.

IS THIS JUST GOING TO BE PART OF THE ROUTINE PROCESS OF YOUR GROUP TO GO OUT AND WATER THESE, ESPECIALLY THAT FIRST YEAR OR TWO WHEN IT'S SO CRITICAL?

>> YEAH. THIS WILL BE SINCE THIS WAS DONE JUST BY PARK STAFF PLANTING, WE'LL KEEP UP WITH THE WATERING OF THESE IN THE MAINTENANCE.

THAT'LL JUST BE INTERNAL STAFF KEEPING UP WITH THAT.

>> GREAT. THANKS.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER VANORNY.

>> THANKS, MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO ALSO ECHO MY APPRECIATION FOR THE HUGHES FAMILY AND THE HUGHES NURSERY THAT WE INHERITED THIS PROPERTY FROM.

THEY WERE REALLY GREAT CARETAKERS OF IT.

WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE STILL MANY OF THOSE OLDER TREES THAT WERE THERE THAT THEY HELPED TO ESTABLISH, BUT THEN ALSO JUST THE WAY THAT THEY'VE HELPED TO PUT SUCH A SOLID PARK IN THE SOUTHWEST SIDE, WHICH THEY'RE RIGHT, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF NEWER PARKS, BUT THE GREAT CARE THAT THEY'VE INVESTED INTO THIS PARK OVER THE YEARS, AND I KNOW THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME JUST KNOWING THAT FAMILY.

MY SINCERE APPRECIATION FOR THEM AND WITH PARTICULAR APPRECIATION TO DWIGHT HUGHES.

>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER TODD.

>> BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING, DON'T GET ME WRONG.

I LIKE ART. MITCH, CAN I GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL? THAT'S IT. I ASK THE QUESTION IN TERMS OF FROM A PARK AND REC PERSPECTIVE, IS THERE AN ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE IN TERMS OF CLIMBING AND IN TERMS OF THE BASE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO PREVENT KIDS FROM CLIMBING ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

>> THAT'S SOMETHING WE DID FACTOR IN.

IT IS GOING TO BE ON BASICALLY JUST A SINGLE POLL THAT THE BASE OF THE ACTUAL WINDOWS IS HIGH ENOUGH UP AND NOBODY CAN GET TO IT FROM CLIMBING.

>> SUPER.

>> BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY WOULD TRY.

>> I SEE OUR INSURANCE AGENT IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM TODAY, SO I THOUGHT I'D ASK THAT QUESTION.

I'M GLAD YOU GUYS THOUGHT OF IT AHEAD. THANKS.

>> ANYONE ELSE?

>> SAY NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MAIER, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER VANORNY.

[00:30:02]

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

>> AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO.
