many other civil rights movement soldiers put forth the
00:15:16.126 --> 00:15:18.026
movement soldiers put forth the holding America to be a country
00:15:18.028 --> 00:15:18.727
holding America to be a country and world community member for
00:15:18.729 --> 00:15:23.332
and world community member for all. Uh, so, you know, before 00:15:23.334 --> 00:15:24.666
all. Uh, so, you know, before we, I guess close this portion
00:15:24.668 --> 00:15:27.002
we, I guess close this portion out. I think we all know what a
00:15:27.004 --> 00:15:28.403
out. I think we all know what a seminal figure, uh, Doctor
00:15:28.405 --> 00:15:30.339
seminal figure, uh, Doctor Martin Luther King was. He was 00:15:30.341 --> 00:15:32.607
Martin Luther King was. He was a scholar, um, brilliant, but
00:15:32.609 --> 00:15:35.878
a scholar, um, brilliant, but also During some very dark
00:15:35.880 --> 00:15:37.746
also During some very dark times, uh, a light for the
00:15:37.748 --> 00:15:39.148
times, uh, a light for the entire world to see, and I
00:15:39.150 --> 00:15:41.617
entire world to see, and I think people forget, you know, 00:15:41.619 --> 00:15:43.485
think people forget, you know, many people put America into
00:15:43.487 --> 00:15:44.687
many people put America into two different time periods.
00:15:44.689 --> 00:15:47.089
two different time periods. There's the, the time when
00:15:47.091 --> 00:15:48.390
There's the, the time when America got their freedom,
00:15:48.392 --> 00:15:49.024
America got their freedom, Revolutionary War, and then
00:15:49.026 --> 00:15:50.325
Revolutionary War, and then there was a second revolution 00:15:50.327 --> 00:15:52.194
there was a second revolution and some people say that was a
00:15:52.196 --> 00:15:53.095
and some people say that was a civil rights movement that
00:15:53.097 --> 00:15:54.229
civil rights movement that Martin Luther King was able to
00:15:54.231 --> 00:15:55.697
Martin Luther King was able to bring about. And I think it's
00:15:55.699 --> 00:15:57.032
bring about. And I think it's difficult for people to
00:15:57.034 --> 00:15:59.001
difficult for people to understand what that means, um.
00:15:59.003 --> 00:16:00.702
understand what that means, um. You know, for many folks in my 00:16:00.704 --> 00:16:02.104
You know, for many folks in my family who live down south, I
00:16:02.106 --> 00:16:03.539
family who live down south, I always tell folks my
00:16:03.541 --> 00:16:04.573
always tell folks my grandfather moved from Chicago
00:16:04.575 --> 00:16:05.941
grandfather moved from Chicago because he witnessed the
00:16:05.943 --> 00:16:07.376
because he witnessed the lynching. The civil rights
00:16:07.378 --> 00:16:08.177
lynching. The civil rights movement wasn't just about laws,
00:16:08.179 --> 00:16:09.044
movement wasn't just about laws, even though that was a big part
00:16:09.046 --> 00:16:10.980
even though that was a big part of it. It was also about the 00:16:10.982 --> 00:16:12.447
of it. It was also about the terror that people lived with
00:16:12.449 --> 00:16:14.049
terror that people lived with down south. You couldn't cross
00:16:14.051 --> 00:16:14.850
down south. You couldn't cross the street and look certain
00:16:14.852 --> 00:16:16.585
the street and look certain people's eye if you were
00:16:16.587 --> 00:16:17.186
people's eye if you were African American, without
00:16:17.188 --> 00:16:18.520
African American, without fearing that somebody would try
00:16:18.522 --> 00:16:20.189
fearing that somebody would try to kill you or lynch you or 00:16:20.191 --> 00:16:21.423
to kill you or lynch you or harm you or go after your
00:16:21.425 --> 00:16:22.991
harm you or go after your family or do something to your
00:16:22.993 --> 00:16:24.393
family or do something to your family, and so the ability to
00:16:24.395 --> 00:16:25.794
family, and so the ability to have the bravery to take on
00:16:25.796 --> 00:16:28.330
have the bravery to take on that violence. To not only
00:16:28.332 --> 00:16:30.131
that violence. To not only change the laws, but to a 00:16:30.133 --> 00:16:31.734
change the laws, but to a change of culture that brought
00:16:31.736 --> 00:16:32.667
change of culture that brought so much violence to a people
00:16:32.669 --> 00:16:36.471
so much violence to a people who had been here from day one.
00:16:36.473 --> 00:16:38.273
who had been here from day one. I think that partially sums up
00:16:38.275 --> 00:16:40.542
I think that partially sums up what he was against, uh, what 00:16:40.544 --> 00:16:42.244
what he was against, uh, what the civil rights, uh, founders
00:16:42.246 --> 00:16:43.412
the civil rights, uh, founders and those movements were
00:16:43.414 --> 00:16:44.547
and those movements were against, and so I think he
00:16:44.549 --> 00:16:45.681
against, and so I think he deserves all the credit in the
00:16:45.683 --> 00:16:47.082
deserves all the credit in the world for what he did because
00:16:47.084 --> 00:16:50.953
world for what he did because it took an an incredible amount 00:16:50.955 --> 00:16:52.287
it took an an incredible amount of bravery that does not take
00:16:52.289 --> 00:16:53.822
of bravery that does not take away from the countless men and
00:16:53.824 --> 00:16:55.424
away from the countless men and women who supported him and
00:16:55.426 --> 00:16:56.091
women who supported him and helped him because he was a
00:16:56.093 --> 00:16:57.826
helped him because he was a leader and you can't lead
00:16:57.828 --> 00:16:59.094
leader and you can't lead without folks very much
00:16:59.096 --> 00:17:00.629
without folks very much supporting you. But at the end 00:17:00.631 --> 00:17:03.966
supporting you. But at the end of the day, he was the one that
00:17:03.968 --> 00:17:05.501
of the day, he was the one that was leading the charge he paid
00:17:05.503 --> 00:17:08.303
was leading the charge he paid with his life, uh, but he very
00:17:08.305 --> 00:17:09.038
with his life, uh, but he very much changed his country for
00:17:09.040 --> 00:17:11.440
much changed his country for the better and so I hope people 00:17:11.442 --> 00:17:12.641
the better and so I hope people recognize that it's not just a
00:17:12.643 --> 00:17:14.109
recognize that it's not just a day for a guy who made
00:17:14.111 --> 00:17:15.310
day for a guy who made wonderful speeches, who was
00:17:15.312 --> 00:17:17.112
wonderful speeches, who was brilliant, but it was someone
00:17:17.114 --> 00:17:19.881
brilliant, but it was someone who took on real violence and
00:17:19.883 --> 00:17:21.784
who took on real violence and real fear. And now, not 00:17:21.786 --> 00:17:22.984
real fear. And now, not everything is perfect within
00:17:22.986 --> 00:17:25.721
everything is perfect within this country, but people don't
00:17:25.723 --> 00:17:26.388
this country, but people don't experience that same level of
00:17:26.390 --> 00:17:30.993
experience that same level of just. stultifying uh fear that 00:17:30.995 --> 00:17:33.529
just. stultifying uh fear that many in my family experienced,
00:17:33.531 --> 00:17:35.497
many in my family experienced, uh, not long before I was born.
00:17:35.499 --> 00:17:36.599
uh, not long before I was born. So we give them a round of

considered the document. Um, in total. Thank you. So before we, 00:31:58.394 --> 00:31:59.827
total. Thank you. So before we, I guess consider approval or
00:31:59.829 --> 00:32:02.330
I guess consider approval or head into approval or any 00:32:02.332 --> 00:32:08.469
head into approval or any questions from council members.
00:32:08.471 --> 00:32:09.804
questions from council members. The only thing I would say is
00:32:09.806 --> 00:32:13.007
The only thing I would say is that, um, So this is something 00:32:13.009 --> 00:32:15.409
that, um, So this is something that we all vote on. I think it
00:32:15.411 --> 00:32:17.178
that we all vote on. I think it is it's important to hold us
00:32:17.180 --> 00:32:18.812
is it's important to hold us accountable to how we treat one
00:32:18.814 --> 00:32:21.148
accountable to how we treat one another or how we treat uh 00:32:21.150 --> 00:32:23.951
another or how we treat uh residents as well. Uh, and so
00:32:23.953 --> 00:32:25.619
residents as well. Uh, and so I'm all for voting on it. I'm
00:32:25.621 --> 00:32:27.021
I'm all for voting on it. I'm all for approving it. I do
00:32:27.023 --> 00:32:28.422
all for approving it. I do think it does provide some
00:32:28.424 --> 00:32:30.157
think it does provide some structure in terms of how We 00:32:30.159 --> 00:32:31.459
structure in terms of how We interact with one another, but
00:32:31.461 --> 00:32:33.093
interact with one another, but it also protects us in a number
00:32:33.095 --> 00:32:35.230
it also protects us in a number of ways legally, uh, when we're
00:32:35.232 --> 00:32:36.397
of ways legally, uh, when we're interacting with one another.
00:32:36.399 --> 00:32:37.698
interacting with one another. And I think that's important as
00:32:37.700 --> 00:32:38.700
And I think that's important as well, so that we have some type
00:32:38.702 --> 00:32:43.504
well, so that we have some type of Foundation as to know how we 00:32:43.506 --> 00:32:44.439
of Foundation as to know how we should resolve some of these
00:32:44.441 --> 00:32:46.507
should resolve some of these issues or how we should resolve
00:32:46.509 --> 00:32:47.775
issues or how we should resolve disciplinary, and I will say
00:32:47.777 --> 00:32:49.710
disciplinary, and I will say that um as far as working with
00:32:49.712 --> 00:32:52.713
that um as far as working with Um City manager struggle 00:32:52.715 --> 00:32:54.048

Tran. Uh, so motion passes. um, thank you, council for passing
00:35:06.716 --> 00:35:08.683
thank you, council for passing that. I, I do want to say that
00:35:08.685 --> 00:35:10.184
that. I, I do want to say that since we have voted on this, 00:35:10.186 --> 00:35:12.653
since we have voted on this, this does hold as to how we
00:35:12.655 --> 00:35:13.721
this does hold as to how we conduct ourselves as a council.
00:35:13.723 --> 00:35:16.323
conduct ourselves as a council. And so I think if people have
00:35:16.325 --> 00:35:17.525
And so I think if people have grievances, or if we have
00:35:17.527 --> 00:35:19.526
grievances, or if we have concerns in terms of how we're
00:35:19.528 --> 00:35:21.796
concerns in terms of how we're treating, we should, uh, first, 00:35:21.798 --> 00:35:23.531
treating, we should, uh, first, we should be checking ourselves
00:35:23.533 --> 00:35:25.265
we should be checking ourselves internally morally to make sure
00:35:25.267 --> 00:35:26.467
internally morally to make sure we're honoring that. But
00:35:26.469 --> 00:35:27.668
we're honoring that. But secondarily, we should be
00:35:27.670 --> 00:35:29.537
secondarily, we should be looking at this document to see
00:35:29.539 --> 00:35:31.072
looking at this document to see where this comes into play and 00:35:31.074 --> 00:35:32.273
where this comes into play and how it kind of informs us in
00:35:32.275 --> 00:35:33.941
how it kind of informs us in terms of how we should. be
00:35:33.943 --> 00:35:36.877
terms of how we should. be conducting ourselves. It has,
00:35:36.879 --> 00:35:38.212
conducting ourselves. It has, uh, it was created out of kind
00:35:38.214 --> 00:35:39.346
uh, it was created out of kind of some strife before even any
00:35:39.348 --> 00:35:42.216
of some strife before even any of us were on the council, uh, 00:35:42.218 --> 00:35:43.684
of us were on the council, uh, and it's grown stronger through
00:35:43.686 --> 00:35:46.020
and it's grown stronger through that, uh, and so I think We
00:35:46.022 --> 00:35:47.221
that, uh, and so I think We need to hew closely to this and
00:35:47.223 --> 00:35:49.090
need to hew closely to this and make sure that we're honoring
00:35:49.092 --> 00:35:53.561
make sure that we're honoring this particular document. All 00:35:53.563 --> 00:35:58.032
this particular document. All right, next we have I, let's
00:35:58.034 --> 00:36:03.304
right, next we have I, let's see. 7.4 to consider bike lanes 00:36:03.306 --> 00:36:05.106
see. 7.4 to consider bike lanes and parking restrictions on
00:36:05.108 --> 00:36:07.908
and parking restrictions on 101st Avenue, uh, Zane Avenue
00:36:07.910 --> 00:36:10.244
101st Avenue, uh, Zane Avenue to Falgo Parkway, we have Fall 00:36:10.246 --> 00:36:11.979
to Falgo Parkway, we have Fall Gold Parkway and we have Mark
00:36:11.981 --> 00:36:14.115
Gold Parkway and we have Mark Culver, city engineer. Thank
00:36:14.117 --> 00:36:15.649
Culver, city engineer. Thank you, Mayor Winston, council
00:36:15.651 --> 00:36:17.418
you, Mayor Winston, council members, uh, I'm just gonna
00:36:17.420 --> 00:36:18.952
members, uh, I'm just gonna make a quick presentation. Uh,
00:36:18.954 --> 00:36:20.755
make a quick presentation. Uh, there are more slides here than 00:36:20.757 --> 00:36:22.857
there are more slides here than uh I am actually going to uh
00:36:22.859 --> 00:36:25.126
uh I am actually going to uh spend much time on, so, uh, I
00:36:25.128 --> 00:36:26.994
spend much time on, so, uh, I will go through them relatively
00:36:26.996 --> 00:36:28.229
will go through them relatively quickly once we get to the
00:36:28.231 --> 00:36:30.498
quickly once we get to the layouts, but um, Before you 00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:31.799
layouts, but um, Before you tonight it's just consideration
00:36:31.801 --> 00:36:34.401
tonight it's just consideration of, uh, not only adding bike
00:36:34.403 --> 00:36:37.472
of, uh, not only adding bike lanes to 101st Avenue, but also
00:36:37.474 --> 00:36:39.406
lanes to 101st Avenue, but also restricting parking on, uh, a
00:36:39.408 --> 00:36:40.341
restricting parking on, uh, a portion of 101st Avenue to 00:36:40.343 --> 00:36:43.010
portion of 101st Avenue to support the bike lane. So just
00:36:43.012 --> 00:36:44.879
support the bike lane. So just very quickly, why are we here
00:36:44.881 --> 00:36:46.881
very quickly, why are we here and why now, um, as a part of
00:36:46.883 --> 00:36:49.150
and why now, um, as a part of the city's, uh, annual payment
00:36:49.152 --> 00:36:51.619
the city's, uh, annual payment management program, we are 00:36:51.621 --> 00:36:53.954
management program, we are repaving 101st Avenue from Zane
00:36:53.956 --> 00:36:56.957
repaving 101st Avenue from Zane Avenue, uh, past the fall gold
00:36:56.959 --> 00:36:58.893
Avenue, uh, past the fall gold actually, but, uh, a good chunk
00:36:58.895 --> 00:37:00.361
actually, but, uh, a good chunk of 101st Avenue, and when we do 00:37:00.363 --> 00:37:03.764
of 101st Avenue, and when we do that, we do look at what other
00:37:03.766 --> 00:37:05.633
that, we do look at what other improvements we can and should
00:37:05.635 --> 00:37:07.702
improvements we can and should make to the roadway while we're
00:37:07.704 --> 00:37:10.771
make to the roadway while we're there, um, we're not making any 00:37:10.773 --> 00:37:11.239
there, um, we're not making any extensive changes to the
00:37:11.241 --> 00:37:13.441
extensive changes to the roadway, but we have. an
00:37:13.443 --> 00:37:15.209
roadway, but we have. an opportunity to implement some
00:37:15.211 --> 00:37:16.711
opportunity to implement some of the recommendations of the
00:37:16.713 --> 00:37:18.379
of the recommendations of the cities, uh, pedestrian and bike
00:37:18.381 --> 00:37:20.581
cities, uh, pedestrian and bike plan, which was adopted in 2015. 00:37:20.583 --> 00:37:22.016
plan, which was adopted in 2015. And as we look at that, and
00:37:22.018 --> 00:37:24.451
And as we look at that, and this is an excerpt from the map
00:37:24.453 --> 00:37:27.388
this is an excerpt from the map in in that planning document,
00:37:27.390 --> 00:37:29.791
in in that planning document, um, it does recommend uh
00:37:29.793 --> 00:37:31.225
um, it does recommend uh on-street conventional bike 00:37:31.227 --> 00:37:32.126
on-street conventional bike lanes on 101st Avenue through
00:37:32.128 --> 00:37:34.061
lanes on 101st Avenue through this stretch. So with that in
00:37:34.063 --> 00:37:36.263
this stretch. So with that in mind, we did uh notify
00:37:36.265 --> 00:37:38.132
mind, we did uh notify residents, um, a long 101st
00:37:38.134 --> 00:37:39.399
residents, um, a long 101st Avenue of our intent to
00:37:39.401 --> 00:37:42.336
Avenue of our intent to consider bike lanes. But as a 00:37:42.338 --> 00:37:44.471
consider bike lanes. But as a part of that consideration, um,
00:37:44.473 --> 00:37:45.739
part of that consideration, um, we do need to restripe the
00:37:45.741 --> 00:37:49.744
we do need to restripe the roadway and we also need to, uh,
00:37:49.746 --> 00:37:53.815
roadway and we also need to, uh, look at the, um, Parking along 00:37:53.817 --> 00:37:55.082
look at the, um, Parking along 101st Avenue. Currently 101st
00:37:55.084 --> 00:37:57.151
101st Avenue. Currently 101st Avenue, and this is an image
00:37:57.153 --> 00:37:58.619
Avenue, and this is an image showing how 101st Avenue is
00:37:58.621 --> 00:38:00.087
showing how 101st Avenue is striped in this area, you'll 00:38:00.089 --> 00:38:03.357
striped in this area, you'll see that, uh, there are, um.
00:38:03.359 --> 00:38:04.759
see that, uh, there are, um. One lane in each direction,
00:38:04.761 --> 00:38:06.694
One lane in each direction, east and west, and those are 12
00:38:06.696 --> 00:38:08.295
east and west, and those are 12 ft lanes and then 2 10-foot
00:38:08.297 --> 00:38:12.166
ft lanes and then 2 10-foot shoulders for a total of 44 ft, 00:38:12.168 --> 00:38:13.234
shoulders for a total of 44 ft, uh, of total width and parking
00:38:13.236 --> 00:38:15.035
uh, of total width and parking is currently allowed on both
00:38:15.037 --> 00:38:17.038
is currently allowed on both sides and within those 10-foot
00:38:17.040 --> 00:38:18.906
sides and within those 10-foot shoulders, but in order to put
00:38:18.908 --> 00:38:20.241
shoulders, but in order to put uh bike lanes on the roadway, 00:38:20.243 --> 00:38:22.176
uh bike lanes on the roadway, we do need to restrict parking
00:38:22.178 --> 00:38:23.244
we do need to restrict parking on at least one side of the
00:38:23.246 --> 00:38:27.448
on at least one side of the roadway. And just as a note, uh,
00:38:27.450 --> 00:38:29.116
roadway. And just as a note, uh, 1001st Avenue, uh, does
00:38:29.118 --> 00:38:30.985
1001st Avenue, uh, does currently is posted at 40 MPH 00:38:30.987 --> 00:38:32.787
currently is posted at 40 MPH and it has an annual daily
00:38:32.789 --> 00:38:36.123
and it has an annual daily traffic of about 3700 vehicles.
00:38:36.125 --> 00:38:37.258
traffic of about 3700 vehicles. Now just very quickly, uh, I
00:38:37.260 --> 00:38:39.060
Now just very quickly, uh, I just wanted to highlight a few
00:38:39.062 --> 00:38:39.994
just wanted to highlight a few other locations within the city
00:38:39.996 --> 00:38:42.897
other locations within the city that we do also have bike lanes, 00:38:42.899 --> 00:38:46.267
that we do also have bike lanes, um, so, uh, this is 63rd Avenue
00:38:46.269 --> 00:38:47.268
um, so, uh, this is 63rd Avenue from Zane to Crystal Lake
00:38:47.270 --> 00:38:48.736
from Zane to Crystal Lake Regional Trail, which is just,
00:38:48.738 --> 00:38:51.138
Regional Trail, which is just, uh, picks up just east of 00:38:51.140 --> 00:38:52.272
uh, picks up just east of County County Road 81. Um, it's
00:38:52.274 --> 00:38:53.674
County County Road 81. Um, it's a little tough to see in this
00:38:53.676 --> 00:38:54.541
a little tough to see in this image, but you can see that we
00:38:54.543 --> 00:38:56.477
image, but you can see that we You have bike lanes there with
00:38:56.479 --> 00:38:58.379
You have bike lanes there with a pretty good buffer and
00:38:58.381 --> 00:38:59.480
a pretty good buffer and through lanes, uh, and in this
00:38:59.482 --> 00:39:01.715
through lanes, uh, and in this area, there is no parking on 00:39:01.717 --> 00:39:03.350
area, there is no parking on either side of 63rd Avenue. The
00:39:03.352 --> 00:39:05.619
either side of 63rd Avenue. The speed limit is 30 MPH and there
00:39:05.621 --> 00:39:06.754
speed limit is 30 MPH and there are 12,000 cars per day on this
00:39:06.756 --> 00:39:09.690
are 12,000 cars per day on this section of roadway. We also
00:39:09.692 --> 00:39:12.159
section of roadway. We also have bike lanes on Candlewood 00:39:12.161 --> 00:39:13.694
have bike lanes on Candlewood Drive between West Broadway and
00:39:13.696 --> 00:39:15.562
Drive between West Broadway and Zane, uh, very scenic drive,
00:39:15.564 --> 00:39:16.964
Zane, uh, very scenic drive, actually, very curvy roadway,
00:39:16.966 --> 00:39:19.367
actually, very curvy roadway, again, 30 MPH, we do actually
00:39:19.369 --> 00:39:20.367
again, 30 MPH, we do actually have parking on one side of the 00:39:20.369 --> 00:39:21.101
have parking on one side of the roadway here and you can see on
00:39:21.103 --> 00:39:23.237
roadway here and you can see on the left side of the image that
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:25.839
the left side of the image that there's a bike lane there, uh,
00:39:25.841 --> 00:39:27.641
there's a bike lane there, uh, there's a buffer and then there
00:39:27.643 --> 00:39:29.310
there's a buffer and then there is a space for parking along
00:39:29.312 --> 00:39:32.813
is a space for parking along Candlewood. That is again, 30 00:39:32.815 --> 00:39:35.783
Candlewood. That is again, 30 MPH with 2400 cars per day. Uh,
00:39:35.785 --> 00:39:37.584
MPH with 2400 cars per day. Uh, this is 73rd Avenue in Regent,
00:39:37.586 --> 00:39:39.186
this is 73rd Avenue in Regent, again, we have parking, you can
00:39:39.188 --> 00:39:40.721
again, we have parking, you can actually see cars parked in 00:39:40.723 --> 00:39:42.156
actually see cars parked in that area there. There's a bike
00:39:42.158 --> 00:39:44.191
that area there. There's a bike lane there, there's no buffer
00:39:44.193 --> 00:39:45.192
lane there, there's no buffer between the parking and the
00:39:45.194 --> 00:39:47.861
between the parking and the bike lane in this area, um, we
00:39:47.863 --> 00:39:49.196
bike lane in this area, um, we have lanes in each direction
00:39:49.198 --> 00:39:50.531
have lanes in each direction and then the bike lane uh going 00:39:50.533 --> 00:39:51.765
and then the bike lane uh going the other way with no parking
00:39:51.767 --> 00:39:53.868
the other way with no parking on that side. That's a 30 mile
00:39:53.870 --> 00:39:55.403
on that side. That's a 30 mile per hour road with 4200 cars
00:39:55.405 --> 00:39:58.806
per hour road with 4200 cars per day. And then finally, uh,
00:39:58.808 --> 00:40:00.574
per day. And then finally, uh, right outside of City Hall here, 00:40:00.576 --> 00:40:02.443
right outside of City Hall here, we have Edinbrook Terrace from
00:40:02.445 --> 00:40:03.945
we have Edinbrook Terrace from Regent to Zane. That also does
00:40:03.947 --> 00:40:05.879
Regent to Zane. That also does not have parking on either side.
00:40:05.881 --> 00:40:08.549
not have parking on either side. It's 30 MPH speed limit and
00:40:08.551 --> 00:40:10.751
It's 30 MPH speed limit and 1500 cars per day. So as we 00:40:10.753 --> 00:40:13.688
1500 cars per day. So as we look at the design for, uh,
00:40:13.690 --> 00:40:15.222
look at the design for, uh, bike lanes on 101st Avenue
00:40:15.224 --> 00:40:16.557
bike lanes on 101st Avenue recognize that we do not have
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:18.892
recognize that we do not have space for both bike lanes and
00:40:18.894 --> 00:40:20.561
space for both bike lanes and parking on both sides. Um, we 00:40:20.563 --> 00:40:23.698
parking on both sides. Um, we have two options. One option is
00:40:23.700 --> 00:40:24.832
have two options. One option is no on street parking. It allows
00:40:24.834 --> 00:40:26.633
no on street parking. It allows us to actually have wider bike
00:40:26.635 --> 00:40:29.036
us to actually have wider bike lanes with 7 ft bike lanes and
00:40:29.038 --> 00:40:31.372
lanes with 7 ft bike lanes and a 3 ft buffer, uh, between the 00:40:31.374 --> 00:40:31.973
a 3 ft buffer, uh, between the general traffic and the bike
00:40:31.975 --> 00:40:34.708
general traffic and the bike lane. If we were to provide
00:40:34.710 --> 00:40:35.509
lane. If we were to provide parking on one side of the
00:40:35.511 --> 00:40:38.979
parking on one side of the roadway. Uh, which we would
00:40:38.981 --> 00:40:40.447
roadway. Uh, which we would recommend having parking on the 00:40:40.449 --> 00:40:43.651
recommend having parking on the north side at this time, um, we
00:40:43.653 --> 00:40:45.319
north side at this time, um, we would shrink the bike lanes up
00:40:45.321 --> 00:40:47.188
would shrink the bike lanes up to 5 ft and we would only have
00:40:47.190 --> 00:40:50.591
to 5 ft and we would only have a 1 ft buffer, uh, between the 00:40:50.593 --> 00:40:52.660
a 1 ft buffer, uh, between the bike lane and traffic. And
00:40:52.662 --> 00:40:55.529
bike lane and traffic. And originally, Um, and then just
00:40:55.531 --> 00:40:56.930
originally, Um, and then just uh this is what it would look
00:40:56.932 --> 00:40:58.365
uh this is what it would look like on the overhead and we can,
00:40:58.367 --> 00:41:02.269
like on the overhead and we can, I've got all of the slides here, 00:41:02.271 --> 00:41:03.738
I've got all of the slides here, um, and if there's any
00:41:03.740 --> 00:41:04.805
um, and if there's any particular questions about any
00:41:04.807 --> 00:41:06.340
particular questions about any particular segment, we can, uh,
00:41:06.342 --> 00:41:07.607
particular segment, we can, uh, zoom in on that or, or, or look
00:41:07.609 --> 00:41:13.313
zoom in on that or, or, or look through that. Um. As I said, we 00:41:13.315 --> 00:41:14.748
through that. Um. As I said, we have two options. I just wanted
00:41:14.750 --> 00:41:17.951
have two options. I just wanted to highlight. Uh, some public
00:41:17.953 --> 00:41:20.688
to highlight. Uh, some public comment. Um, I didn't, I 00:41:20.690 --> 00:41:21.889
comment. Um, I didn't, I thought I had a slide on that,
00:41:21.891 --> 00:41:23.758
thought I had a slide on that, sorry, uh, I just wanted to
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:24.691
sorry, uh, I just wanted to highlight some public comment
00:41:24.693 --> 00:41:27.828
highlight some public comment and then also some feedback, um,
00:41:27.830 --> 00:41:29.497
and then also some feedback, um, that we've received, um, one of
00:41:29.499 --> 00:41:31.098
that we've received, um, one of the bench handouts that you, 00:41:31.100 --> 00:41:32.433
the bench handouts that you, that you just received is a
00:41:32.435 --> 00:41:34.434
that you just received is a public comment from a resident.
00:41:34.436 --> 00:41:36.036
public comment from a resident. It's the only comment that we
00:41:36.038 --> 00:41:36.570
It's the only comment that we received from the general
00:41:36.572 --> 00:41:40.007
received from the general public. Uh, recommending that 00:41:40.009 --> 00:41:41.975
public. Uh, recommending that we do not have, do not allow
00:41:41.977 --> 00:41:43.577
we do not have, do not allow parking on either side, uh,
00:41:43.579 --> 00:41:46.580
parking on either side, uh, this resident has indicated
00:41:46.582 --> 00:41:48.916
this resident has indicated that through their, um,
00:41:48.918 --> 00:41:51.318
that through their, um, multiple, uh, times traveling 00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:52.786
multiple, uh, times traveling 101st Avenue they've never seen
00:41:52.788 --> 00:41:54.555
101st Avenue they've never seen or very rarely see any vehicles
00:41:54.557 --> 00:41:56.990
or very rarely see any vehicles parked on 101st Avenue except
00:41:56.992 --> 00:42:00.327
parked on 101st Avenue except near uh the Ayn farm and um the 00:42:00.329 --> 00:42:03.730
near uh the Ayn farm and um the school there just east of uh
00:42:03.732 --> 00:42:07.468
school there just east of uh region or um Noble. And so he
00:42:07.470 --> 00:42:09.003
region or um Noble. And so he recommends not parking on, on
00:42:09.005 --> 00:42:11.338
recommends not parking on, on either side. I did call the 00:42:11.340 --> 00:42:12.940
either side. I did call the school this morning and talk to
00:42:12.942 --> 00:42:14.808
school this morning and talk to their facilities manager. He
00:42:14.810 --> 00:42:16.210
their facilities manager. He said they actually during their
00:42:16.212 --> 00:42:18.211
said they actually during their events, they actually try to um.
00:42:18.213 --> 00:42:20.814
events, they actually try to um. Dissuade people from parking on 00:42:20.816 --> 00:42:22.782
Dissuade people from parking on our first family they'll put,
00:42:22.784 --> 00:42:24.085
our first family they'll put, uh, cones out on 101st Avenue
00:42:24.087 --> 00:42:25.753
uh, cones out on 101st Avenue to try to discourage that
00:42:25.755 --> 00:42:27.955
to try to discourage that parking. They don't, they don't
00:42:27.957 --> 00:42:29.423
parking. They don't, they don't want their parents or visitors
00:42:29.425 --> 00:42:31.291
want their parents or visitors parking on 101st Avenue. Um, 00:42:31.293 --> 00:42:34.361
parking on 101st Avenue. Um, and then I also spoke with um.
00:42:34.363 --> 00:42:36.763
and then I also spoke with um. You know, clarified some
00:42:36.765 --> 00:42:37.832
You know, clarified some conversations internally with
00:42:37.834 --> 00:42:40.601
conversations internally with parks, um, department and 00:42:40.603 --> 00:42:42.369
parks, um, department and recreation department, um, we
00:42:42.371 --> 00:42:45.772
recreation department, um, we agreed that in the You know
00:42:45.774 --> 00:42:47.575
agreed that in the You know Couple of cases a year where we
00:42:47.577 --> 00:42:49.576
Couple of cases a year where we may need overflow parking on
00:42:49.578 --> 00:42:51.979
may need overflow parking on 101st Avenue we could cone off, 00:42:51.981 --> 00:42:54.515
101st Avenue we could cone off, uh, the bike lanes to allow, uh,
00:42:54.517 --> 00:42:56.984
uh, the bike lanes to allow, uh, parking from the farm out onto
00:42:56.986 --> 00:42:59.853
parking from the farm out onto 101st Avenue. This is probably,
00:42:59.855 --> 00:43:01.655
101st Avenue. This is probably, I will probably amend the staff 00:43:01.657 --> 00:43:02.856
I will probably amend the staff recommendation that's based on
00:43:02.858 --> 00:43:03.857
recommendation that's based on that feedback from the resident
00:43:03.859 --> 00:43:06.660
that feedback from the resident and the school this morning, um,
00:43:06.662 --> 00:43:08.929
and the school this morning, um, I will probably amend the staff
00:43:08.931 --> 00:43:10.397
I will probably amend the staff recommendation that we actually, 00:43:10.399 --> 00:43:11.331
recommendation that we actually, um, restrict parking on both
00:43:11.333 --> 00:43:12.799
um, restrict parking on both sides of the roadway though
00:43:12.801 --> 00:43:13.934
sides of the roadway though because of the 40 mile per hour
00:43:13.936 --> 00:43:16.670
because of the 40 mile per hour speed limit. It provides us. A
00:43:16.672 --> 00:43:20.141
speed limit. It provides us. A wider bike lane with uh a nice 00:43:20.143 --> 00:43:21.475
wider bike lane with uh a nice buffer to separate, uh, the
00:43:21.477 --> 00:43:23.210
buffer to separate, uh, the bikes from the general traffic
00:43:23.212 --> 00:43:27.214
bikes from the general traffic on 101st Avenue. And with that,
00:43:27.216 --> 00:43:27.882
on 101st Avenue. And with that, I will take any questions you
00:43:27.884 --> 00:43:33.486
I will take any questions you may have. All right, thank you, 00:43:33.488 --> 00:43:35.155
may have. All right, thank you, uh, commissioner, I mean, a
00:43:35.157 --> 00:43:37.624
uh, commissioner, I mean, a council member Kanowski. Thank
00:43:37.626 --> 00:43:40.494
council member Kanowski. Thank you, Mayor. I have a question. 00:43:40.496 --> 00:43:44.030
you, Mayor. I have a question. I live really close to this, uh,
00:43:44.032 --> 00:43:45.766
I live really close to this, uh, the farm and my question is
00:43:45.768 --> 00:43:47.434
the farm and my question is regarding a bike lane in such
00:43:47.436 --> 00:43:48.435
regarding a bike lane in such close proximity to the bike
00:43:48.437 --> 00:43:49.903
close proximity to the bike path, because the bike path is
00:43:49.905 --> 00:43:54.541
path, because the bike path is about a block. Off of that. 00:43:54.543 --> 00:43:55.910
about a block. Off of that. What residents be using 101st.
00:43:55.912 --> 00:43:57.378
What residents be using 101st. I mean, the bike path goes all
00:43:57.380 --> 00:43:59.847
I mean, the bike path goes all the way from Zane. It would be
00:43:59.849 --> 00:44:00.781
the way from Zane. It would be parallel, right? You're talking 00:44:00.783 --> 00:44:02.716
parallel, right? You're talking about the regional trail, um,
00:44:02.718 --> 00:44:04.184
about the regional trail, um, yeah, and, and I, you know, we
00:44:04.186 --> 00:44:06.520
yeah, and, and I, you know, we looked at that as well and, and
00:44:06.522 --> 00:44:08.922
looked at that as well and, and 1st,,, 1st of all, um, you know,
00:44:08.924 --> 00:44:10.857
1st,,, 1st of all, um, you know, our bicycle, our pedestrian 00:44:10.859 --> 00:44:11.992
our bicycle, our pedestrian bicycle plan went through, uh,
00:44:11.994 --> 00:44:14.194
bicycle plan went through, uh, you know, a public process, and
00:44:14.196 --> 00:44:15.329
you know, a public process, and it was ident even with the
00:44:15.331 --> 00:44:16.397
it was ident even with the regional trail there, it was
00:44:16.399 --> 00:44:18.065
regional trail there, it was still identified as a
00:44:18.067 --> 00:44:18.732
still identified as a recommended um on street
00:44:18.734 --> 00:44:22.069
recommended um on street treatment. I would say that The 00:44:22.071 --> 00:44:24.471
treatment. I would say that The reason we go to Falgold is
00:44:24.473 --> 00:44:25.505
reason we go to Falgold is because Falgold has a
00:44:25.507 --> 00:44:26.673
because Falgold has a connection to the regional
00:44:26.675 --> 00:44:29.009
connection to the regional trail, uh, just north of here,
00:44:29.011 --> 00:44:30.844
trail, uh, just north of here, um, and there are also other a 00:44:30.846 --> 00:44:32.813
um, and there are also other a couple of other spots along
00:44:32.815 --> 00:44:33.681
couple of other spots along 101st Avenue where the direct
00:44:33.683 --> 00:44:36.083
101st Avenue where the direct connection. There's a paved
00:44:36.085 --> 00:44:37.684
connection. There's a paved connection between a local
00:44:37.686 --> 00:44:39.786
connection between a local street and the regional trail.
00:44:39.788 --> 00:44:42.289
street and the regional trail. This, the bike lane would allow 00:44:42.291 --> 00:44:44.091
This, the bike lane would allow people to travel from their
00:44:44.093 --> 00:44:46.093
people to travel from their homes along 101st Avenue to one
00:44:46.095 --> 00:44:47.094
homes along 101st Avenue to one of those direct connections to
00:44:47.096 --> 00:44:48.562
of those direct connections to the regional trail. So it
00:44:48.564 --> 00:44:49.563
the regional trail. So it actually enhances connection to
00:44:49.565 --> 00:44:51.898
actually enhances connection to the regional trail, but it's 00:44:51.900 --> 00:44:54.501
the regional trail, but it's also a shorter trip, um, for
00:44:54.503 --> 00:44:56.370
also a shorter trip, um, for somebody who maybe is commuting
00:44:56.372 --> 00:44:57.570
somebody who maybe is commuting or something, uh, versus the
00:44:57.572 --> 00:44:58.171
or something, uh, versus the regional trail. The regional
00:44:58.173 --> 00:45:00.674
regional trail. The regional trail is a little more windy, 00:45:00.676 --> 00:45:02.576
trail is a little more windy, um, and from a pure, you know,
00:45:02.578 --> 00:45:04.511
um, and from a pure, you know, from a length perspective, it's,
00:45:04.513 --> 00:45:07.848
from a length perspective, it's, it's a little longer, um, the
00:45:07.850 --> 00:45:08.782
it's a little longer, um, the trail right off Noble as well.
00:45:08.784 --> 00:45:13.186
trail right off Noble as well. There's a Yep, yep that on 00:45:13.188 --> 00:45:13.987
There's a Yep, yep that on perpendicular and can access
00:45:13.989 --> 00:45:17.124
perpendicular and can access that true. Um, I wouldn't be in
00:45:17.126 --> 00:45:19.059
that true. Um, I wouldn't be in favor of blocking completely
00:45:19.061 --> 00:45:20.127
favor of blocking completely parking on 101st because when 00:45:20.129 --> 00:45:21.395
parking on 101st because when there are activities at Edom,
00:45:21.397 --> 00:45:23.864
there are activities at Edom, it does. flow onto the street.
00:45:23.866 --> 00:45:25.799
it does. flow onto the street. It's probably the only time I
00:45:25.801 --> 00:45:27.267
It's probably the only time I ever see parking there, but
00:45:27.269 --> 00:45:28.802
ever see parking there, but it's significant. We draw a
00:45:28.804 --> 00:45:31.271
it's significant. We draw a crowd. We did an adult type 00:45:31.273 --> 00:45:32.139
crowd. We did an adult type activity with beer and, and
00:45:32.141 --> 00:45:33.273
activity with beer and, and that, and that was probably the
00:45:33.275 --> 00:45:34.942
that, and that was probably the most parking I've ever seen. It
00:45:34.944 --> 00:45:36.277
most parking I've ever seen. It overflowed a lot significantly.
00:45:36.279 --> 00:45:37.811
overflowed a lot significantly. I mean, I have no objection to
00:45:37.813 --> 00:45:40.914
I mean, I have no objection to the. bike path. I think it's a 00:45:40.916 --> 00:45:41.848
the. bike path. I think it's a little redundant with the trail.
00:45:41.850 --> 00:45:44.818
little redundant with the trail. I mean, literally a block. Away
00:45:44.820 --> 00:45:45.752
I mean, literally a block. Away with so many access points, but
00:45:45.754 --> 00:45:46.887
with so many access points, but if you're going to do it, I,
00:45:46.889 --> 00:45:50.657
if you're going to do it, I, I'm not in favor of. Um Not 00:45:50.659 --> 00:45:52.692
I'm not in favor of. Um Not having parking, uh, adjacent to
00:45:52.694 --> 00:45:54.228
having parking, uh, adjacent to the farm. What would that look
00:45:54.230 --> 00:45:55.762
the farm. What would that look like then if you kept parking
00:45:55.764 --> 00:45:58.465
like then if you kept parking on one side. Could you have a
00:45:58.467 --> 00:46:00.834
on one side. Could you have a two-lane bike path on the other 00:46:00.836 --> 00:46:02.569
two-lane bike path on the other side of the road. Is that not
00:46:02.571 --> 00:46:04.171
side of the road. Is that not safe? That, that's actually in
00:46:04.173 --> 00:46:05.839
safe? That, that's actually in your packet, so the, on this
00:46:05.841 --> 00:46:09.076
your packet, so the, on this screen here, that bottom option
00:46:09.078 --> 00:46:10.644
screen here, that bottom option shows the parking lane on one 00:46:10.646 --> 00:46:12.512
shows the parking lane on one side in the bike lane on each
00:46:12.514 --> 00:46:13.580
side in the bike lane on each side of the street then, so
00:46:13.582 --> 00:46:14.715
side of the street then, so there would just be one of the
00:46:14.717 --> 00:46:16.717
there would just be one of the bike lanes would be.
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:17.384
bike lanes would be. Immediately adjacent to the
00:46:17.386 --> 00:46:20.587
Immediately adjacent to the parking. Here. And I guess my 00:46:20.589 --> 00:46:22.456
parking. Here. And I guess my just a broader question, I mean,
00:46:22.458 --> 00:46:23.390
just a broader question, I mean, again, I'm not necessarily
00:46:23.392 --> 00:46:25.325
again, I'm not necessarily opposed to it, but are there
00:46:25.327 --> 00:46:26.860
opposed to it, but are there other places in the city that
00:46:26.862 --> 00:46:30.197
other places in the city that don't have any bike paths cause 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:31.465
don't have any bike paths cause we have a robust bike trails so
00:46:31.467 --> 00:46:34.067
we have a robust bike trails so close, so there are other areas
00:46:34.069 --> 00:46:35.869
close, so there are other areas that could use that resource.
00:46:35.871 --> 00:46:37.871
that could use that resource. Well, there are other areas
00:46:37.873 --> 00:46:40.707
Well, there are other areas that are identified in the bike 00:46:40.709 --> 00:46:42.576
that are identified in the bike plan for future, um.
00:46:42.578 --> 00:46:44.010
plan for future, um. Conventional bike lanes, as we
00:46:44.012 --> 00:46:44.611
Conventional bike lanes, as we call it with on-street bike
00:46:44.613 --> 00:46:46.947
call it with on-street bike lanes, there's actually a few
00:46:46.949 --> 00:46:49.283
lanes, there's actually a few spots that are identified for
00:46:49.285 --> 00:46:50.483
spots that are identified for uh protected uh bike lanes 00:46:50.485 --> 00:46:51.819
uh protected uh bike lanes which would probably be more
00:46:51.821 --> 00:46:53.887
which would probably be more like what you were kind of uh
00:46:53.889 --> 00:46:55.622
like what you were kind of uh initially suggesting there we
00:46:55.624 --> 00:46:56.356
initially suggesting there we have the both directions of the
00:46:56.358 --> 00:46:57.357
have the both directions of the bike lane on one side of the
00:46:57.359 --> 00:46:59.192
bike lane on one side of the street, we would have a
00:46:59.194 --> 00:47:00.093
street, we would have a physical separation between the 00:47:00.095 --> 00:47:03.630
physical separation between the bike lane and bike lanes and uh
00:47:03.632 --> 00:47:05.965
bike lane and bike lanes and uh uh traffic, um. But again, we
00:47:05.967 --> 00:47:09.169
uh traffic, um. But again, we are just uh we're executing the
00:47:09.171 --> 00:47:10.236
are just uh we're executing the recommendations of the 00:47:10.238 --> 00:47:11.971
recommendations of the pedestrian and bicycle, uh,
00:47:11.973 --> 00:47:13.306
pedestrian and bicycle, uh, plan, and this was one of the
00:47:13.308 --> 00:47:13.973
plan, and this was one of the recommendations out of there.
00:47:13.975 --> 00:47:15.442
recommendations out of there. There were, there are other
00:47:15.444 --> 00:47:17.911
There were, there are other both north, south and east-west
00:47:17.913 --> 00:47:19.846
both north, south and east-west streets across the city that
00:47:19.848 --> 00:47:21.715
streets across the city that have recommendations and when 00:47:21.717 --> 00:47:23.317
have recommendations and when we do similar projects on those
00:47:23.319 --> 00:47:25.152
we do similar projects on those streets will, we'll look at
00:47:25.154 --> 00:47:26.319
streets will, we'll look at implementing those bike lanes
00:47:26.321 --> 00:47:29.589
implementing those bike lanes on those at that time when
00:47:29.591 --> 00:47:30.323
on those at that time when bicycle riders would get to 00:47:30.325 --> 00:47:33.460
bicycle riders would get to Zane. What happens then on our
00:47:33.462 --> 00:47:35.929
Zane. What happens then on our bike paths on Zane. There is a
00:47:35.931 --> 00:47:37.798
bike paths on Zane. There is a trail along the, I believe
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:38.932
trail along the, I believe there's a trail along the west
00:47:38.934 --> 00:47:40.533
there's a trail along the west side of Zane and a sidewalk 00:47:40.535 --> 00:47:41.201
side of Zane and a sidewalk along the east side of Zane,
00:47:41.203 --> 00:47:42.469
along the east side of Zane, which they could then take down
00:47:42.471 --> 00:47:47.608
which they could then take down to. Um, other trails or other
00:47:47.610 --> 00:47:49.676
to. Um, other trails or other points to the Rounds trail. OK,
00:47:49.678 --> 00:47:51.411
points to the Rounds trail. OK, but there is at least somewhere 00:47:51.413 --> 00:47:53.747
but there is at least somewhere for them to access a bike path.
00:47:53.749 --> 00:47:57.884
for them to access a bike path. OK, thank you. council member
00:47:57.886 --> 00:48:04.291
OK, thank you. council member Page. All right. So a couple of 00:48:04.293 --> 00:48:05.359
Page. All right. So a couple of questions. Is there a reason
00:48:05.361 --> 00:48:06.760
questions. Is there a reason why it would stay 40 when all
00:48:06.762 --> 00:48:09.062
why it would stay 40 when all the other ones were 30. I
00:48:09.064 --> 00:48:11.097
the other ones were 30. I didn't write down the traffic. 00:48:11.099 --> 00:48:14.301
didn't write down the traffic. Yeah, the, uh, it's just the
00:48:14.303 --> 00:48:15.903
Yeah, the, uh, it's just the way 101st Avenue was originally
00:48:15.905 --> 00:48:18.672
way 101st Avenue was originally designed and opened, um, it's a,
00:48:18.674 --> 00:48:20.574
designed and opened, um, it's a, it's a straight roadway without 00:48:20.576 --> 00:48:21.642
it's a straight roadway without much uh curves in that and so
00:48:21.644 --> 00:48:24.778
much uh curves in that and so that's. That's a longer process
00:48:24.780 --> 00:48:26.546
that's. That's a longer process and longer dep uh explanation
00:48:26.548 --> 00:48:28.115
and longer dep uh explanation of how we set speed limits in
00:48:28.117 --> 00:48:30.383
of how we set speed limits in the in the city, so that's 00:48:30.385 --> 00:48:31.518
the in the city, so that's independent of the bike lanes
00:48:31.520 --> 00:48:34.855
independent of the bike lanes that would that would And then
00:48:34.857 --> 00:48:36.189
that would that would And then so for those for those posted
00:48:36.191 --> 00:48:37.657
so for those for those posted signs, how far are those apart
00:48:37.659 --> 00:48:40.994
signs, how far are those apart then? The for the speed limit 00:48:40.996 --> 00:48:43.530
then? The for the speed limit signs generally we would post
00:48:43.532 --> 00:48:44.865
signs generally we would post those where, like, for instance,
00:48:44.867 --> 00:48:46.934
those where, like, for instance, if you're turning off of Zane
00:48:46.936 --> 00:48:47.801
if you're turning off of Zane onto 101st Avenue, we would
00:48:47.803 --> 00:48:50.670
onto 101st Avenue, we would have a speed limit sign there 00:48:50.672 --> 00:48:52.205
have a speed limit sign there because your, it's, it's a
00:48:52.207 --> 00:48:53.140
because your, it's, it's a major change in speed limit
00:48:53.142 --> 00:48:55.142
major change in speed limit from the two major from two
00:48:55.144 --> 00:48:57.277
from the two major from two roadways, um, we wouldn't
00:48:57.279 --> 00:48:58.077
roadways, um, we wouldn't necessarily have a speed limit
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:00.013
necessarily have a speed limit sign at every after every 00:49:00.015 --> 00:49:01.081
sign at every after every intersection, but where they're
00:49:01.083 --> 00:49:02.950
intersection, but where they're coming in from a higher speed
00:49:02.952 --> 00:49:05.385
coming in from a higher speed or a different, uh, a different
00:49:05.387 --> 00:49:08.989
or a different, uh, a different roadway that has a, you know. A
00:49:08.991 --> 00:49:10.523
roadway that has a, you know. A larger differential in speed, 00:49:10.525 --> 00:49:12.459
larger differential in speed, we would post the speed limit
00:49:12.461 --> 00:49:14.294
we would post the speed limit sign to indicate that. So So
00:49:14.296 --> 00:49:16.329
sign to indicate that. So So then the parking itself, if you
00:49:16.331 --> 00:49:19.366
then the parking itself, if you did, um, the no parking, um,
00:49:19.368 --> 00:49:20.166
did, um, the no parking, um, what are the rules? And again, 00:49:20.168 --> 00:49:22.035
what are the rules? And again, I'm learning, so thank you for
00:49:22.037 --> 00:49:24.905
I'm learning, so thank you for being patient with me for, um,
00:49:24.907 --> 00:49:27.107
being patient with me for, um, conditional parking. permits,
00:49:27.109 --> 00:49:28.108
conditional parking. permits, or how does that work within
00:49:28.110 --> 00:49:29.842
or how does that work within the city? Do you have someone
00:49:29.844 --> 00:49:32.378
the city? Do you have someone who you have No parking, but 00:49:32.380 --> 00:49:34.981
who you have No parking, but they need it for once a year.
00:49:34.983 --> 00:49:36.049
they need it for once a year. Events or whatever, how does
00:49:36.051 --> 00:49:38.351
Events or whatever, how does that work or does that not
00:49:38.353 --> 00:49:41.254
that work or does that not happen? Well, uh, Council page 00:49:41.256 --> 00:49:44.124
happen? Well, uh, Council page for this, if we just post
00:49:44.126 --> 00:49:44.991
for this, if we just post parking a parking restriction
00:49:44.993 --> 00:49:47.260
parking a parking restriction on one side of 101st Avenue, we
00:49:47.262 --> 00:49:49.963
on one side of 101st Avenue, we would have signs that indicate
00:49:49.965 --> 00:49:51.398
would have signs that indicate no parking on the side that 00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:52.599
no parking on the side that it's prohibited, there wouldn't
00:49:52.601 --> 00:49:53.333
it's prohibited, there wouldn't be any signage on the other
00:49:53.335 --> 00:49:55.335
be any signage on the other side. There wouldn't be any
00:49:55.337 --> 00:49:57.204
side. There wouldn't be any need for probably any need for
00:49:57.206 --> 00:49:58.338
need for probably any need for any permits or anything because
00:49:58.340 --> 00:49:59.139
any permits or anything because there is availability of
00:49:59.141 --> 00:50:00.206
there is availability of parking on at least one side of 00:50:00.208 --> 00:50:02.108
parking on at least one side of the roadway. Sorry to interrupt.
00:50:02.110 --> 00:50:03.677
the roadway. Sorry to interrupt. Let me clarify if there's no
00:50:03.679 --> 00:50:04.478
Let me clarify if there's no parking on both sides, that's
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:06.146
parking on both sides, that's where that's where my question
00:50:06.148 --> 00:50:07.847
where that's where my question comes from. So there's no
00:50:07.849 --> 00:50:10.350
comes from. So there's no parking on both sides, I'm not 00:50:10.352 --> 00:50:12.352
parking on both sides, I'm not 100% familiar with all of the
00:50:12.354 --> 00:50:16.122
100% familiar with all of the options, but, um, there may be
00:50:16.124 --> 00:50:17.691
options, but, um, there may be an opportunity for somebody to
00:50:17.693 --> 00:50:20.527
an opportunity for somebody to petition the city to 00:50:20.529 --> 00:50:22.395
petition the city to temporarily allow parking where
00:50:22.397 --> 00:50:23.964
temporarily allow parking where we would maybe be some no
00:50:23.966 --> 00:50:25.565
we would maybe be some no parking signs in very rare
00:50:25.567 --> 00:50:28.234
parking signs in very rare cases, but they would have to
00:50:28.236 --> 00:50:30.703
cases, but they would have to essentially, you know, request, 00:50:30.705 --> 00:50:31.438
essentially, you know, request, um, that exemption for a period
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:33.707
um, that exemption for a period of time, say it's a major event
00:50:33.709 --> 00:50:35.709
of time, say it's a major event or something of those. And we
00:50:35.711 --> 00:50:36.510
or something of those. And we wouldn't necessarily approve it,
00:50:36.512 --> 00:50:38.511
wouldn't necessarily approve it, we would have to look at. What
00:50:38.513 --> 00:50:39.713
we would have to look at. What the conditions were, what, you
00:50:39.715 --> 00:50:41.881
the conditions were, what, you know, does the, does the street 00:50:41.883 --> 00:50:43.316
know, does the, does the street support it, um, and, but we
00:50:43.318 --> 00:50:44.518
support it, um, and, but we would look at that on a case by
00:50:44.520 --> 00:50:52.192
would look at that on a case by case basis. OK, thank you. 00:50:52.194 --> 00:50:57.531
case basis. OK, thank you. council member Tran. Thank you.
00:50:57.533 --> 00:50:59.332
council member Tran. Thank you. Um, my question for you is like,
00:50:59.334 --> 00:51:05.405
Um, my question for you is like, how How long this um project. 00:51:05.407 --> 00:51:07.808
how How long this um project. out to the community so that
00:51:07.810 --> 00:51:09.276
out to the community so that people are aware and let us
00:51:09.278 --> 00:51:13.146
people are aware and let us know like, like this feedback. 00:51:13.148 --> 00:51:16.016
know like, like this feedback. For how long the city make the
00:51:16.018 --> 00:51:18.018
For how long the city make the community aware of this? Yes,
00:51:18.020 --> 00:51:20.854
community aware of this? Yes, Councilor Tran, I believe we 00:51:20.856 --> 00:51:24.224
Councilor Tran, I believe we sent the original letter out to
00:51:24.226 --> 00:51:27.794
sent the original letter out to the public in late December. So
00:51:27.796 --> 00:51:29.429
the public in late December. So just a few weeks ago we
00:51:29.431 --> 00:51:33.667
just a few weeks ago we notified the public. Um, so the 00:51:33.669 --> 00:51:39.305
notified the public. Um, so the time is too short. Um We, uh,
00:51:39.307 --> 00:51:41.374
time is too short. Um We, uh, give more time for the public 00:51:41.376 --> 00:51:43.977
give more time for the public to, to let us know about this,
00:51:43.979 --> 00:51:47.380
to, to let us know about this, like, like feedback like this
00:51:47.382 --> 00:51:49.549
like, like feedback like this uh person resident. Uh, I
00:51:49.551 --> 00:51:52.052
uh person resident. Uh, I suggest we want to hear more, 00:51:52.054 --> 00:51:54.120
suggest we want to hear more, more from the people, uh,
00:51:54.122 --> 00:51:55.522
more from the people, uh, before we make a decision, uh
00:51:55.524 --> 00:51:56.823
before we make a decision, uh before we wrote about it,
00:51:56.825 --> 00:51:58.659
before we wrote about it, because this is about the
00:51:58.661 --> 00:52:06.900
because this is about the community use. Uh, benefit and 00:52:06.902 --> 00:52:08.468
community use. Uh, benefit and Uh, yes, uh, Council member
00:52:08.470 --> 00:52:11.204
Uh, yes, uh, Council member Tran, I, the only hesitation I 00:52:11.206 --> 00:52:12.873
Tran, I, the only hesitation I have in that certainly we could
00:52:12.875 --> 00:52:14.741
have in that certainly we could wait a couple more weeks. The
00:52:14.743 --> 00:52:16.209
wait a couple more weeks. The only hesitation I have for that
00:52:16.211 --> 00:52:20.346
only hesitation I have for that is that um. We, we are. Does 00:52:20.348 --> 00:52:21.881
is that um. We, we are. Does doing the final design on this,
00:52:21.883 --> 00:52:24.417
doing the final design on this, and we do need to route our
00:52:24.419 --> 00:52:26.119
and we do need to route our plans through a couple of
00:52:26.121 --> 00:52:26.887
plans through a couple of different agencies for review
00:52:26.889 --> 00:52:29.055
different agencies for review before we can bid it, and we're
00:52:29.057 --> 00:52:31.158
before we can bid it, and we're hoping to bid our project, um, 00:52:31.160 --> 00:52:33.693
hoping to bid our project, um, by the end of February, uh, in
00:52:33.695 --> 00:52:35.362
by the end of February, uh, in order to get, you know,
00:52:35.364 --> 00:52:35.962
order to get, you know, reasonable bids before
00:52:35.964 --> 00:52:37.764
reasonable bids before construction season starts. So
00:52:37.766 --> 00:52:40.233
construction season starts. So the longer we wait, um, the, 00:52:40.235 --> 00:52:41.735
the longer we wait, um, the, the more likely it is that we
00:52:41.737 --> 00:52:44.437
the more likely it is that we will not be able to. Um, open
00:52:44.439 --> 00:52:47.240
will not be able to. Um, open bids when we would like to. For
00:52:47.242 --> 00:52:48.709
bids when we would like to. For the project. It's not, it's not
00:52:48.711 --> 00:52:49.542
the project. It's not, it's not impossible by any means and,
00:52:49.544 --> 00:52:51.578
impossible by any means and, and we could, it would just 00:52:51.580 --> 00:52:53.379
and we could, it would just delay that process a little bit,
00:52:53.381 --> 00:52:57.917
delay that process a little bit, um. Is it possible that you can
00:52:57.919 --> 00:53:01.621
um. Is it possible that you can give more like. 3 weeks. So 00:53:01.623 --> 00:53:03.456
give more like. 3 weeks. So that we, we want to hear more
00:53:03.458 --> 00:53:08.962
that we, we want to hear more from the resident. Um, I, I
00:53:08.964 --> 00:53:10.329
from the resident. Um, I, I suppose we could come back on 00:53:10.331 --> 00:53:15.034
suppose we could come back on February 10th. Uh, to counsel,
00:53:15.036 --> 00:53:16.836
February 10th. Uh, to counsel, um, I, I just without
00:53:16.838 --> 00:53:18.739
um, I, I just without confirming with my staff when
00:53:18.741 --> 00:53:20.807
confirming with my staff when we need to cause we, we need to 00:53:20.809 --> 00:53:21.941
we need to cause we, we need to submit the plans because we're
00:53:21.943 --> 00:53:23.276
submit the plans because we're using state aid funding, we
00:53:23.278 --> 00:53:25.545
using state aid funding, we need to submit the plans to
00:53:25.547 --> 00:53:27.013
need to submit the plans to Minott for review, um, and I
00:53:27.015 --> 00:53:28.081
Minott for review, um, and I would want to double check with
00:53:28.083 --> 00:53:29.482
would want to double check with my staff on how long that
00:53:29.484 --> 00:53:32.485
my staff on how long that normally takes. Um, but I mean, 00:53:32.487 --> 00:53:33.953
normally takes. Um, but I mean, that's, that's an option,
00:53:33.955 --> 00:53:35.288
that's, that's an option, that's an option, but, you know,
00:53:35.290 --> 00:53:37.957
that's an option, but, you know, people have had it since, uh,
00:53:37.959 --> 00:53:38.759
people have had it since, uh, it was before Christmas that
00:53:38.761 --> 00:53:41.394
it was before Christmas that that the letters went out and 00:53:41.396 --> 00:53:44.097
that the letters went out and were received, um. And, and we
00:53:44.099 --> 00:53:46.632
were received, um. And, and we just, we've only had the one,
00:53:46.634 --> 00:53:48.501
just, we've only had the one, the one comment on it. I want,
00:53:48.503 --> 00:53:50.503
the one comment on it. I want, I just want to make sure that 00:53:50.505 --> 00:53:52.505
I just want to make sure that the people who live in this
00:53:52.507 --> 00:53:54.441
the people who live in this area, you know, have the right
00:53:54.443 --> 00:53:59.112
area, you know, have the right to be aware and to contribute.
00:53:59.114 --> 00:54:02.182
to be aware and to contribute. Feedback. So, um, please give. 00:54:02.184 --> 00:54:05.585
Feedback. So, um, please give. As more, like 2 weeks? 15 days?
00:54:05.587 --> 00:54:07.554
As more, like 2 weeks? 15 days? And we try to reach out to
00:54:07.556 --> 00:54:09.256
And we try to reach out to people and to hear from them
00:54:09.258 --> 00:54:12.258
people and to hear from them before we, we wrote about this. 00:54:12.260 --> 00:54:13.693
before we, we wrote about this. I think that would depend on
00:54:13.695 --> 00:54:14.794
I think that would depend on the council making that
00:54:14.796 --> 00:54:20.466
the council making that decision. Did you have further 00:54:20.468 --> 00:54:25.705
decision. Did you have further comment or? Yes, uh How is my
00:54:25.707 --> 00:54:26.405
comment or? Yes, uh How is my college how college think about
00:54:26.407 --> 00:54:28.475
college how college think about that. We, we want to hear more
00:54:28.477 --> 00:54:29.142
that. We, we want to hear more from I think other people would
00:54:29.144 --> 00:54:31.211
from I think other people would like to speak. And then we can, 00:54:31.213 --> 00:54:32.879
like to speak. And then we can, if you, if you want to make a
00:54:32.881 --> 00:54:34.680
if you, if you want to make a motion or, but I would suggest
00:54:34.682 --> 00:54:36.883
motion or, but I would suggest letting other folks speak. So
00:54:36.885 --> 00:54:39.753
letting other folks speak. So is it OK with you like 15 more
00:54:39.755 --> 00:54:41.421
is it OK with you like 15 more days. So he doesn't make that 00:54:41.423 --> 00:54:42.222
days. So he doesn't make that decision, Councilman Matran. I
00:54:42.224 --> 00:54:43.290
decision, Councilman Matran. I know you want him to, but he
00:54:43.292 --> 00:54:46.560
know you want him to, but he doesn't make that decision. The
00:54:46.562 --> 00:54:47.360
doesn't make that decision. The council makes that decision,
00:54:47.362 --> 00:54:48.762
council makes that decision, you know he can submit whatever
00:54:48.764 --> 00:54:49.462
you know he can submit whatever he would like. At the end of
00:54:49.464 --> 00:54:50.764
he would like. At the end of the day, the council is gonna 00:54:50.766 --> 00:54:53.433
the day, the council is gonna be making that decision. So, uh,
00:54:53.435 --> 00:54:55.568
be making that decision. So, uh, can you like, OK, that we make
00:54:55.570 --> 00:54:59.506
can you like, OK, that we make a motion to Would you like to
00:54:59.508 --> 00:55:03.376
a motion to Would you like to make a motion 15 days later and 00:55:03.378 --> 00:55:07.380

to the resident who live in this area, so that we can hear
00:55:15.524 --> 00:55:19.859
this area, so that we can hear from them. We, before we make
00:55:19.861 --> 00:55:20.660
from them. We, before we make decision of clarification, Mr. 00:55:20.662 --> 00:55:24.530
decision of clarification, Mr. Mayor. Were the residents that
00:55:24.532 --> 00:55:25.999
Mayor. Were the residents that live in this area, the
00:55:26.001 --> 00:55:27.934
live in this area, the recipients of the letter, so
00:55:27.936 --> 00:55:29.936
recipients of the letter, so they've already been they've
00:55:29.938 --> 00:55:32.205
they've already been they've been notified and they had the 00:55:32.207 --> 00:55:33.673
been notified and they had the opportunity to respond. No, I
00:55:33.675 --> 00:55:35.208
opportunity to respond. No, I clarification. I just want to
00:55:35.210 --> 00:55:37.744
clarification. I just want to make sure that because a lot of
00:55:37.746 --> 00:55:39.412
make sure that because a lot of residents, you've made a motion.
00:55:39.414 --> 00:55:46.286
residents, you've made a motion. Yes. Is there a second? There 00:55:46.288 --> 00:55:49.555
Yes. Is there a second? There is no second. Uh, so the motion
00:55:49.557 --> 00:55:52.559
is no second. Uh, so the motion dies on the floor. Uh Council 00:55:52.561 --> 00:55:56.897
dies on the floor. Uh Council member Eriksson. I would like
00:55:56.899 --> 00:55:58.731
member Eriksson. I would like to just make a couple points of
00:55:58.733 --> 00:55:59.699
to just make a couple points of clarification, one for council
00:55:59.701 --> 00:56:01.501
clarification, one for council member Bertrand, one for 00:56:01.503 --> 00:56:03.937
member Bertrand, one for council member Klinowski. Um
00:56:03.939 --> 00:56:05.805
council member Klinowski. Um Councilman B Tran, I believe
00:56:05.807 --> 00:56:08.207
Councilman B Tran, I believe this was a part of the trails
00:56:08.209 --> 00:56:10.243
this was a part of the trails and bike paths master plan? Is 00:56:10.245 --> 00:56:12.178
and bike paths master plan? Is that map in this presentation?
00:56:12.180 --> 00:56:13.646
that map in this presentation? It is. The overall city map is
00:56:13.648 --> 00:56:15.949
It is. The overall city map is in the packet, yes, but the
00:56:15.951 --> 00:56:16.916
in the packet, yes, but the overall plan was passed by
00:56:16.918 --> 00:56:19.819
overall plan was passed by council in the past. In 2015, I
00:56:19.821 --> 00:56:21.721
council in the past. In 2015, I believe it was adopted by the 00:56:21.723 --> 00:56:22.521
believe it was adopted by the city council residents of
00:56:22.523 --> 00:56:23.857
city council residents of Brooklyn Park have been aware
00:56:23.859 --> 00:56:25.725
Brooklyn Park have been aware of this for 9 years now. Yes.
00:56:25.727 --> 00:56:28.594
of this for 9 years now. Yes. And it was, I think it was also
00:56:28.596 --> 00:56:29.729
And it was, I think it was also reaffirmed in the, in, included

this for quite some time. Thank you. Um, or a city manager
00:56:39.874 --> 00:56:41.207
you. Um, or a city manager struggle, you had mentioned 00:56:41.209 --> 00:56:43.877
struggle, you had mentioned earlier during our phone call
00:56:43.879 --> 00:56:46.412
earlier during our phone call that this project may be part
00:56:46.414 --> 00:56:49.015
that this project may be part of a standard road upgrade.
00:56:49.017 --> 00:56:51.884
of a standard road upgrade. process, so there's no 00:56:51.886 --> 00:56:52.485
process, so there's no additional cost. Is that
00:56:52.487 --> 00:56:59.158
additional cost. Is that correct? Um, Mary Winston
00:56:59.160 --> 00:57:00.293
correct? Um, Mary Winston customer Erikson, members of 00:57:00.295 --> 00:57:02.528
customer Erikson, members of council, um. I would love to
00:57:02.530 --> 00:57:03.496
council, um. I would love to double check with the city
00:57:03.498 --> 00:57:04.431
double check with the city engineer, but my understanding
00:57:04.433 --> 00:57:07.367
engineer, but my understanding is that this is part of our
00:57:07.369 --> 00:57:08.801
is that this is part of our routine 2025 payment management
00:57:08.803 --> 00:57:10.269
routine 2025 payment management program. The additional cost 00:57:10.271 --> 00:57:12.172
program. The additional cost would be any potential striping
00:57:12.174 --> 00:57:14.140
would be any potential striping that might be incurred as a
00:57:14.142 --> 00:57:15.775
that might be incurred as a result of the different options
00:57:15.777 --> 00:57:17.710
result of the different options that are here, but my
00:57:17.712 --> 00:57:19.112
that are here, but my assumption, and I would defer
00:57:19.114 --> 00:57:20.913
assumption, and I would defer to the city engineer in terms 00:57:20.915 --> 00:57:22.983
to the city engineer in terms of any cost difference among
00:57:22.985 --> 00:57:24.283
of any cost difference among these options, uh, we
00:57:24.285 --> 00:57:25.384
these options, uh, we ultimately won't know until we
00:57:25.386 --> 00:57:26.853
ultimately won't know until we get the bids back, but my guess
00:57:26.855 --> 00:57:28.388
get the bids back, but my guess is it would be relatively minor,
00:57:28.390 --> 00:57:30.991
is it would be relatively minor, but Deer to Mister Culver uh 00:57:30.993 --> 00:57:33.526
but Deer to Mister Culver uh for final. c lar ity on that.
00:57:33.528 --> 00:57:36.129
for final. c lar ity on that. So we're not really foregoing
00:57:36.131 --> 00:57:37.530
So we're not really foregoing any other possible. Like
00:57:37.532 --> 00:57:38.531
any other possible. Like there's not hundreds of
00:57:38.533 --> 00:57:39.799
there's not hundreds of thousands of dollars being
00:57:39.801 --> 00:57:41.334
thousands of dollars being spent here that could have 00:57:41.336 --> 00:57:42.601
spent here that could have built the trail elsewhere.
00:57:42.603 --> 00:57:43.402
built the trail elsewhere. Council Marrickson, no, there
00:57:43.404 --> 00:57:45.004
Council Marrickson, no, there is not. I mean, we, we're,
00:57:45.006 --> 00:57:46.539
is not. I mean, we, we're, we're talking on the magnitude
00:57:46.541 --> 00:57:49.408
we're talking on the magnitude of $30,000 to $50,000 between
00:57:49.410 --> 00:57:50.543
of $30,000 to $50,000 between striping and signage, and that, 00:57:50.545 --> 00:57:51.878
striping and signage, and that, that would be state aid dollars,
00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:54.814
that would be state aid dollars, um. Thank you. Those are the
00:57:54.816 --> 00:57:55.615
um. Thank you. Those are the two points of clarification I
00:57:55.617 --> 00:58:02.722
two points of clarification I want. Thanks. So, uh, council 00:58:02.724 --> 00:58:03.623
want. Thanks. So, uh, council member Tran, there's other
00:58:03.625 --> 00:58:06.759
member Tran, there's other folks that are ahead of you. Uh
00:58:06.761 --> 00:58:10.163
folks that are ahead of you. Uh So council member, uh, Zheng. 00:58:10.165 --> 00:58:12.832
So council member, uh, Zheng. Yeah, thank you, Mayor, um, I
00:58:12.834 --> 00:58:14.633
Yeah, thank you, Mayor, um, I just had a quick question also
00:58:14.635 --> 00:58:15.968
just had a quick question also based upon the statement that
00:58:15.970 --> 00:58:17.704
based upon the statement that was submitted from the public,
00:58:17.706 --> 00:58:21.240
was submitted from the public, um. Having that I don't live 00:58:21.242 --> 00:58:24.610
um. Having that I don't live around there. I don't see much
00:58:24.612 --> 00:58:26.112
around there. I don't see much of the um parking situation,
00:58:26.114 --> 00:58:27.713
of the um parking situation, but then I was just wondering
00:58:27.715 --> 00:58:30.883
but then I was just wondering out of curiosity, is there a 00:58:30.885 --> 00:58:32.051
out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why parking
00:58:32.053 --> 00:58:33.786
particular reason why parking was proposed on the north end
00:58:33.788 --> 00:58:36.222
was proposed on the north end of 101st instead of the south
00:58:36.224 --> 00:58:38.290
of 101st instead of the south if based upon public comment,
00:58:38.292 --> 00:58:38.992
if based upon public comment, there's more parking on the
00:58:38.994 --> 00:58:42.261
there's more parking on the south. Uh, council member Jong, 00:58:42.263 --> 00:58:46.232
south. Uh, council member Jong, thank you, um. We, when we were
00:58:46.234 --> 00:58:47.867
thank you, um. We, when we were looking at, based on our
00:58:47.869 --> 00:58:49.669
looking at, based on our experiences which, which we
00:58:49.671 --> 00:58:51.471
experiences which, which we have not seen much for parking, 00:58:51.473 --> 00:58:54.406
have not seen much for parking, um. You know, they're, there,
00:58:54.408 --> 00:58:56.542
um. You know, they're, there, there have been special event
00:58:56.544 --> 00:58:57.743
there have been special event parking circumstances, uh, for
00:58:57.745 --> 00:58:58.812
parking circumstances, uh, for the for the park as well as for
00:58:58.814 --> 00:59:00.746
the for the park as well as for the school, the school's trying 00:59:00.748 --> 00:59:02.548
the school, the school's trying to discourage that, um, but we
00:59:02.550 --> 00:59:04.550
to discourage that, um, but we also noticed that there are,
00:59:04.552 --> 00:59:07.353
also noticed that there are, there are of the very few
00:59:07.355 --> 00:59:08.354
there are of the very few properties that have direct
00:59:08.356 --> 00:59:10.423
properties that have direct access, have driveways to 101st 00:59:10.425 --> 00:59:12.024
access, have driveways to 101st Avenue, uh, the vast majority
00:59:12.026 --> 00:59:13.759
Avenue, uh, the vast majority of those are on the north side.
00:59:13.761 --> 00:59:16.563
of those are on the north side. I mean, we're talking 6 or 7
00:59:16.565 --> 00:59:17.997
I mean, we're talking 6 or 7 total properties, but all but I
00:59:17.999 --> 00:59:20.033
total properties, but all but I think two of those are on the 00:59:20.035 --> 00:59:21.834
think two of those are on the north side of 101st Avenue and
00:59:21.836 --> 00:59:22.569
north side of 101st Avenue and so we thought, well, if there
00:59:22.571 --> 00:59:23.970
so we thought, well, if there are. people that are going to
00:59:23.972 --> 00:59:25.572
are. people that are going to use it, you know, potentially
00:59:25.574 --> 00:59:27.206
use it, you know, potentially that that would, those would be
00:59:27.208 --> 00:59:29.242
that that would, those would be the people with the driveways
00:59:29.244 --> 00:59:30.643
the people with the driveways to the to 101st Avenue, so 00:59:30.645 --> 00:59:32.579
to the to 101st Avenue, so that's, that's the reasoning we
00:59:32.581 --> 00:59:35.448
that's, that's the reasoning we used, um, but it's, it's, it's
00:59:35.450 --> 00:59:37.917
used, um, but it's, it's, it's wide open. There, there isn't
00:59:37.919 --> 00:59:39.986
wide open. There, there isn't strong engineering, uh,
00:59:39.988 --> 00:59:40.587
strong engineering, uh, reasoning for either side, to 00:59:40.589 --> 00:59:41.788
reasoning for either side, to be honest with you, and to be
00:59:41.790 --> 00:59:44.524
be honest with you, and to be honest, probably the most
00:59:44.526 --> 00:59:47.527
honest, probably the most recurring, um, Dance, uh, on
00:59:47.529 --> 00:59:48.594
recurring, um, Dance, uh, on street parking would be for the
00:59:48.596 --> 00:59:49.929
street parking would be for the farm, which would be on the
00:59:49.931 --> 00:59:51.931
farm, which would be on the south side of 101st Avenue, so 00:59:51.933 --> 00:59:53.466
south side of 101st Avenue, so Awesome. Thank you for
00:59:53.468 --> 00:59:55.201
Awesome. Thank you for clarifying that. That's all
00:59:55.203 --> 00:59:58.004
clarifying that. That's all that I have. All right, so next
00:59:58.006 --> 00:59:59.138
that I have. All right, so next we have uh council member
00:59:59.140 --> 01:00:04.610
we have uh council member McGarvey. Thank you, Mayor. Um, 01:00:04.612 --> 01:00:06.979
McGarvey. Thank you, Mayor. Um, We touched on this, but do we
01:00:06.981 --> 01:00:08.681
We touched on this, but do we have a ballpark figure of what
01:00:08.683 --> 01:00:11.417
have a ballpark figure of what signage costs. Because, and 01:00:11.419 --> 01:00:12.785
signage costs. Because, and then how long, how long of a
01:00:12.787 --> 01:00:14.020
then how long, how long of a stretch of road are we talking
01:00:14.022 --> 01:00:16.355
stretch of road are we talking about here? Yeah, I think, and
01:00:16.357 --> 01:00:18.157
about here? Yeah, I think, and I should have that answer and I
01:00:18.159 --> 01:00:19.692
I should have that answer and I apologize, Councilor McGarvey.
01:00:19.694 --> 01:00:21.161
apologize, Councilor McGarvey. I should know that, that, uh, 01:00:21.163 --> 01:00:23.629
I should know that, that, uh, answer, but I think we're
01:00:23.631 --> 01:00:27.400
answer, but I think we're looking at about, about 1 mile
01:00:27.402 --> 01:00:30.369
looking at about, about 1 mile in length uh from Zane to 01:00:30.371 --> 01:00:35.308
in length uh from Zane to Falgold, um. And it I'm
01:00:35.310 --> 01:00:38.711
Falgold, um. And it I'm guessing, I mean, the signs are
01:00:38.713 --> 01:00:40.780
guessing, I mean, the signs are to furnish and install a sign 01:00:40.782 --> 01:00:43.182
to furnish and install a sign for parking, you know, is on
01:00:43.184 --> 01:00:45.184
for parking, you know, is on the magnitude of $100 to $150 a
01:00:45.186 --> 01:00:47.720
the magnitude of $100 to $150 a sign probably. Um, we'd be
01:00:47.722 --> 01:00:50.590
sign probably. Um, we'd be looking at. Several, you know. 01:00:50.592 --> 01:00:52.491
looking at. Several, you know. If we're, if we're putting no
01:00:52.493 --> 01:00:53.926
If we're, if we're putting no parking on one side of the
01:00:53.928 --> 01:00:55.394
parking on one side of the street, you're probably putting
01:00:55.396 --> 01:00:58.998
street, you're probably putting those signs. You know, maybe
01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:01.867
those signs. You know, maybe every 200 ft 150 ft 200 ft, 01:01:01.869 --> 01:01:02.868
every 200 ft 150 ft 200 ft, something along those on, on
01:01:02.870 --> 01:01:05.605
something along those on, on average, we'd have an
01:01:05.607 --> 01:01:08.140
average, we'd have an occasional bike lane sign, uh,
01:01:08.142 --> 01:01:09.508
occasional bike lane sign, uh, through there, so, I mean,
01:01:09.510 --> 01:01:11.344
through there, so, I mean, we're we're talking thousands 01:01:11.346 --> 01:01:14.947
we're we're talking thousands of dollars, um, for signage, um,
01:01:14.949 --> 01:01:17.283
of dollars, um, for signage, um, and then, you know, the
01:01:17.285 --> 01:01:18.417
and then, you know, the striping could get that, that's
01:01:18.419 --> 01:01:19.285
striping could get that, that's a little more spending just
01:01:19.287 --> 01:01:22.521
a little more spending just because it's a much longer line, 01:01:22.523 --> 01:01:23.690
because it's a much longer line, we'd probably use epoxy uh to
01:01:23.692 --> 01:01:24.690
we'd probably use epoxy uh to make it last longer, so that
01:01:24.692 --> 01:01:26.225
make it last longer, so that would be a, a larger cost, but
01:01:26.227 --> 01:01:28.227
would be a, a larger cost, but still in the. Total magnitude
01:01:28.229 --> 01:01:30.896
still in the. Total magnitude of $30,000 to $50,000 probably. 01:01:30.898 --> 01:01:34.233
of $30,000 to $50,000 probably. OK. So, We'd be saving a couple
01:01:34.235 --> 01:01:35.368
OK. So, We'd be saving a couple $2000 anyway if we put parking
01:01:35.370 --> 01:01:37.436
$2000 anyway if we put parking on one side of the street. Yes,
01:01:37.438 --> 01:01:42.174
on one side of the street. Yes, potentially, yes. council 01:01:42.176 --> 01:01:48.480
potentially, yes. council member page. Thank you, Mayor.
01:01:48.482 --> 01:01:49.849
member page. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to go back. I
01:01:49.851 --> 01:01:50.850
I just wanted to go back. I thought it was point of 01:01:50.852 --> 01:01:52.285
thought it was point of information, so I'm still
01:01:52.287 --> 01:01:54.387
information, so I'm still learning on what to say, um,
01:01:54.389 --> 01:01:55.721
learning on what to say, um, but for the discussion for
01:01:55.723 --> 01:01:57.523
but for the discussion for council member Tran, it's my
01:01:57.525 --> 01:01:59.058
council member Tran, it's my understanding that everyone was
01:01:59.060 --> 01:02:02.528
understanding that everyone was notified properly through The 01:02:02.530 --> 01:02:04.330
notified properly through The letters and really the bike
01:02:04.332 --> 01:02:06.733
letters and really the bike lanes coming, right? So we're
01:02:06.735 --> 01:02:08.200
lanes coming, right? So we're going to have it, so it's a
01:02:08.202 --> 01:02:10.269
going to have it, so it's a matter of the parking question 01:02:10.271 --> 01:02:16.209
matter of the parking question where The major Groups affected
01:02:16.211 --> 01:02:17.877
where The major Groups affected are the farm and the school and
01:02:17.879 --> 01:02:19.111
are the farm and the school and the school has said we really
01:02:19.113 --> 01:02:19.879
the school has said we really don't want them parking there
01:02:19.881 --> 01:02:21.680
don't want them parking there anyway, so it's a non-issue for 01:02:21.682 --> 01:02:25.685
anyway, so it's a non-issue for them, right? Correct. I don't
01:02:25.687 --> 01:02:27.420
them, right? Correct. I don't know if this is a point or it's
01:02:27.422 --> 01:02:30.022
know if this is a point or it's a discussion, but it just seems 01:02:30.024 --> 01:02:34.760
a discussion, but it just seems like the The residents have
01:02:34.762 --> 01:02:37.830
like the The residents have been notified and it's not. A
01:02:37.832 --> 01:02:39.832
been notified and it's not. A concern for the residents at
01:02:39.834 --> 01:02:41.301
concern for the residents at this point, so, uh, that would 01:02:41.303 --> 01:02:48.974
this point, so, uh, that would just be my general discussion.
01:02:48.976 --> 01:02:52.111
just be my general discussion. Uh, council member Kowski. 01:02:52.113 --> 01:02:54.480
Uh, council member Kowski. Thank you, Mayor. Um, thank you,
01:02:54.482 --> 01:02:55.782
Thank you, Mayor. Um, thank you, everyone. Such good questions
01:02:55.784 --> 01:02:57.450
everyone. Such good questions being asked, and I, I
01:02:57.452 --> 01:02:58.351
being asked, and I, I appreciate the clarification to
01:02:58.353 --> 01:02:59.118
appreciate the clarification to request it from Council member
01:02:59.120 --> 01:03:01.187
request it from Council member Eriksson. I want to make the 01:03:01.189 --> 01:03:02.488
Eriksson. I want to make the motion. I don't know how to do
01:03:02.490 --> 01:03:03.790
motion. I don't know how to do this the right way, so let's
01:03:03.792 --> 01:03:04.924
this the right way, so let's talk about it. I don't know if
01:03:04.926 --> 01:03:07.326
talk about it. I don't know if it's in your packet, but I, I
01:03:07.328 --> 01:03:09.195
it's in your packet, but I, I think what, um, council member
01:03:09.197 --> 01:03:12.198
think what, um, council member Shen Zhan brought up was really 01:03:12.200 --> 01:03:13.599
Shen Zhan brought up was really spot on the parking should be
01:03:13.601 --> 01:03:15.067
spot on the parking should be on the south side, not the
01:03:15.069 --> 01:03:15.935
on the south side, not the North since the school doesn't
01:03:15.937 --> 01:03:17.937
North since the school doesn't want it. We don't want kids
01:03:17.939 --> 01:03:18.938
want it. We don't want kids crossing a busy street to get
01:03:18.940 --> 01:03:20.206
crossing a busy street to get to the farm if there's overflow 01:03:20.208 --> 01:03:23.209
to the farm if there's overflow parking. So in favor of the two
01:03:23.211 --> 01:03:24.210
parking. So in favor of the two bike lanes with parking on the
01:03:24.212 --> 01:03:25.478
bike lanes with parking on the south side. Did you have that
01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:27.012
south side. Did you have that as one of these options that I
01:03:27.014 --> 01:03:28.481
as one of these options that I can make a motion on? Yeah,
01:03:28.483 --> 01:03:29.882
can make a motion on? Yeah, Council member Kowski, actually
01:03:29.884 --> 01:03:31.417
Council member Kowski, actually the, the original resolution 01:03:31.419 --> 01:03:33.886
the, the original resolution that is in your packet, um,
01:03:33.888 --> 01:03:36.222
that is in your packet, um, would just simply need to be
01:03:36.224 --> 01:03:37.957
would just simply need to be amended by changing, uh, the
01:03:37.959 --> 01:03:39.592
amended by changing, uh, the word south to north cause we're
01:03:39.594 --> 01:03:41.026
word south to north cause we're actually the resolution is 01:03:41.028 --> 01:03:50.036
actually the resolution is actually to prohibit You know, 01:03:50.038 --> 01:03:51.170
actually to prohibit You know, read the resolution as it's
01:03:51.172 --> 01:03:52.938
read the resolution as it's listed there but just changed
01:03:52.940 --> 01:03:53.906
listed there but just changed uh south to north, it looks
01:03:53.908 --> 01:03:55.441
uh south to north, it looks like we have two. Yeah, so I, I
01:03:55.443 --> 01:03:56.809
like we have two. Yeah, so I, I did a bench handout just in
01:03:56.811 --> 01:03:58.711
did a bench handout just in case you wanted to do part the
01:03:58.713 --> 01:03:59.745
case you wanted to do part the parking restriction on both
01:03:59.747 --> 01:04:00.846
parking restriction on both sides. Thank you. OK, so I'll 01:04:00.848 --> 01:04:03.182

Any Does mover. Yeah, before we vote, I just want um I also 01:04:50.632 --> 01:04:52.498
vote, I just want um I also call it to know that, you know,
01:04:52.500 --> 01:04:55.701
call it to know that, you know, in Brooklyn Park, it's been
01:04:55.703 --> 01:04:58.504
in Brooklyn Park, it's been several years, like Even
01:04:58.506 --> 01:05:01.774
several years, like Even included me and Dre and keep 01:05:01.776 --> 01:05:04.644
included me and Dre and keep coming to complain. The we lost
01:05:04.646 --> 01:05:07.580
coming to complain. The we lost mail the mail that sent to us,
01:05:07.582 --> 01:05:09.481
mail the mail that sent to us, we lost, so I have to hire a
01:05:09.483 --> 01:05:11.650
we lost, so I have to hire a post box to use for several 01:05:11.652 --> 01:05:15.988
post box to use for several years and Resident Continue to
01:05:15.990 --> 01:05:18.290
years and Resident Continue to complain to me about that. So,
01:05:18.292 --> 01:05:20.259
complain to me about that. So, you know, we're not sure that 01:05:20.261 --> 01:05:22.094
you know, we're not sure that the the resident they received
01:05:22.096 --> 01:05:24.930
the the resident they received the, the letter from the CD.
01:05:24.932 --> 01:05:26.799
the, the letter from the CD. That's why I want to make sure
01:05:26.801 --> 01:05:28.668
That's why I want to make sure that the people that who live
01:05:28.670 --> 01:05:30.336
that the people that who live there, this affect them. We 01:05:30.338 --> 01:05:32.938
there, this affect them. We want to hear from them just

like this feedbacks. We just want to hear from people
01:05:36.944 --> 01:05:38.544
want to hear from people because this is about people,
01:05:38.546 --> 01:05:40.146
because this is about people, not us. We make decisions for 01:05:40.148 --> 01:05:44.884
not us. We make decisions for the people. So that's why we,

nobody knows. I never told my congressional friends. Before I
01:19:43.790 --> 01:19:45.190
congressional friends. Before I came to the United States, I
01:19:45.192 --> 01:19:46.391
came to the United States, I was in the House of
01:19:46.393 --> 01:19:48.927
was in the House of Representatives. When I left
01:19:48.929 --> 01:19:51.263
Representatives. When I left the house I went to the Senate. 01:19:51.265 --> 01:19:53.865
the house I went to the Senate. I spent more than 10 years in
01:19:53.867 --> 01:19:57.068
I spent more than 10 years in Liberia Congress. So Everything
01:19:57.070 --> 01:19:59.271
Liberia Congress. So Everything you do here is not strange to
01:19:59.273 --> 01:20:02.607
you do here is not strange to us. It's something we've done. 01:20:02.609 --> 01:20:04.042
us. It's something we've done. Many times, you understand? And
01:20:04.044 --> 01:20:05.676
Many times, you understand? And that's why I value the work you
01:20:05.678 --> 01:20:07.479
that's why I value the work you do, because most of the time we
01:20:07.481 --> 01:20:08.947
do, because most of the time we don't appreciate service. The
01:20:08.949 --> 01:20:10.882
don't appreciate service. The money will pay you, it's not 01:20:10.884 --> 01:20:13.752
money will pay you, it's not enough. The time you take to,
01:20:13.754 --> 01:20:14.485
enough. The time you take to, to govern us is more than the
01:20:14.487 --> 01:20:17.355
to govern us is more than the money. So you've gotta be
01:20:17.357 --> 01:20:18.089
money. So you've gotta be sacrificing like the mayor. How
01:20:18.091 --> 01:20:26.164
sacrificing like the mayor. How much do they pay the mayor? 01:20:26.166 --> 01:20:28.766
much do they pay the mayor? Maybe $15,000. So I want to say
01:20:28.768 --> 01:20:30.435
Maybe $15,000. So I want to say I, I don't know, maybe before I 01:20:30.437 --> 01:20:32.537
I, I don't know, maybe before I leave, I don't know whether I
01:20:32.539 --> 01:20:34.339
leave, I don't know whether I had the opportunity to come
01:20:34.341 --> 01:20:36.641

01:33:08.194 --> 01:33:10.127
review the camera of the footage and watch if the 01:33:10.129 --> 01:33:12.530
footage and watch if the officer was um uh um following
01:33:12.532 --> 01:33:13.931
officer was um uh um following policy. Did they activate the
01:33:13.933 --> 01:33:14.998
policy. Did they activate the camera appropriately,
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:15.666
camera appropriately, deactivate it appropriately,
01:33:15.668 --> 01:33:17.134
deactivate it appropriately, and were there, was their
01:33:17.136 --> 01:33:18.402
and were there, was their conduct appropriate to the
01:33:18.404 --> 01:33:20.271
conduct appropriate to the circumstances. So did we 01:33:20.273 --> 01:33:22.206
circumstances. So did we provide high level service and
01:33:22.208 --> 01:33:22.940
provide high level service and again that's randomized videos
01:33:22.942 --> 01:33:25.109
again that's randomized videos required. every month by every
01:33:25.111 --> 01:33:26.043
required. every month by every supervisor of their staff who
01:33:26.045 --> 01:33:27.678
supervisor of their staff who are using these cameras, and
01:33:27.680 --> 01:33:29.146
are using these cameras, and that randomization is how we
01:33:29.148 --> 01:33:30.615
that randomization is how we keep really high quality 01:33:30.617 --> 01:33:32.349
keep really high quality control standards, um, of our
01:33:32.351 --> 01:33:33.217
control standards, um, of our usage and our actions for our
01:33:33.219 --> 01:33:37.254
usage and our actions for our staff. Um On top of that, all
01:33:37.256 --> 01:33:39.290
staff. Um On top of that, all of the use of force and vehicle
01:33:39.292 --> 01:33:40.291
of the use of force and vehicle pursuit videos are reviewed by 01:33:40.293 --> 01:33:43.828
pursuit videos are reviewed by chain of command and approved.
01:33:43.830 --> 01:33:44.762
chain of command and approved. The external audit process,
01:33:44.764 --> 01:33:46.230
The external audit process, this is required biannually by
01:33:46.232 --> 01:33:48.299
this is required biannually by the state. Uh, we select an
01:33:48.301 --> 01:33:49.500
the state. Uh, we select an independent auditor to conduct
01:33:49.502 --> 01:33:51.702
independent auditor to conduct the audit. This time it was 01:33:51.704 --> 01:33:52.837
the audit. This time it was Lynn Lemke Consulting, uh, they
01:33:52.839 --> 01:33:54.471
Lynn Lemke Consulting, uh, they conduct the audit and that is
01:33:54.473 --> 01:33:56.373
conduct the audit and that is required to be um given to
01:33:56.375 --> 01:33:57.441
required to be um given to legislation, uh copy of it and
01:33:57.443 --> 01:33:59.910
legislation, uh copy of it and a copy of it to be sent to to
01:33:59.912 --> 01:34:01.111
a copy of it to be sent to to council, um, and that was given 01:34:01.113 --> 01:34:04.114
council, um, and that was given to council. Um, but included
01:34:04.116 --> 01:34:05.115
to council. Um, but included essentially the audit consists
01:34:05.117 --> 01:34:06.083
essentially the audit consists to determine all those things
01:34:06.085 --> 01:34:07.985
to determine all those things that are listed there. So it's
01:34:07.987 --> 01:34:10.254
that are listed there. So it's a really pretty robust audit of 01:34:10.256 --> 01:34:12.990
a really pretty robust audit of our system biannually. Um, the
01:34:12.992 --> 01:34:14.458
our system biannually. Um, the audit was completed and
01:34:14.460 --> 01:34:15.926
audit was completed and provided to counsel. There was
01:34:15.928 --> 01:34:16.994
provided to counsel. There was no discrepancies following all
01:34:16.996 --> 01:34:18.796
no discrepancies following all areas were reviewed, including
01:34:18.798 --> 01:34:21.732
areas were reviewed, including uh those areas that are listed 01:34:21.734 --> 01:34:23.667
uh those areas that are listed and there was nothing, um. No
01:34:23.669 --> 01:34:24.868
and there was nothing, um. No real suggestions. Everything
01:34:24.870 --> 01:34:28.839
real suggestions. Everything passed with flying colors. Um,
01:34:28.841 --> 01:34:29.340
passed with flying colors. Um, the future body camera
01:34:29.342 --> 01:34:30.808
the future body camera technology. So I have a strong 01:34:30.810 --> 01:34:33.143
technology. So I have a strong interest to continue to advance
01:34:33.145 --> 01:34:35.279
interest to continue to advance our platform on Axon, um,
01:34:35.281 --> 01:34:36.547
our platform on Axon, um, include the following, which is
01:34:36.549 --> 01:34:38.415
include the following, which is really integrating our records
01:34:38.417 --> 01:34:40.450
really integrating our records management system into Axon, 01:34:40.452 --> 01:34:41.352
management system into Axon, which would ultimately infuse
01:34:41.354 --> 01:34:43.754
which would ultimately infuse our, our, a lot of our systems
01:34:43.756 --> 01:34:45.823
our, our, a lot of our systems are tasers, our um, our camera
01:34:45.825 --> 01:34:47.225
are tasers, our um, our camera system with the same platform
01:34:47.227 --> 01:34:48.225
system with the same platform as a records management system,
01:34:48.227 --> 01:34:50.094
as a records management system, what that would do for us is 01:34:50.096 --> 01:34:51.495
what that would do for us is start to allow automated report
01:34:51.497 --> 01:34:52.964
start to allow automated report writing from bindwa to camera,
01:34:52.966 --> 01:34:54.898
writing from bindwa to camera, so technology is becoming
01:34:54.900 --> 01:34:56.166
so technology is becoming advanced enough where that the
01:34:56.168 --> 01:35:00.537
advanced enough where that the um The um AI technology can 01:35:00.539 --> 01:35:02.039
um The um AI technology can actually start to watch the
01:35:02.041 --> 01:35:03.440
actually start to watch the body worn camera and write the
01:35:03.442 --> 01:35:04.975
body worn camera and write the report for the police officer
01:35:04.977 --> 01:35:06.910
report for the police officer based on what the victim said,
01:35:06.912 --> 01:35:08.312
based on what the victim said, on what the officer said and
01:35:08.314 --> 01:35:09.247
on what the officer said and what other people said, they
01:35:09.249 --> 01:35:10.381
what other people said, they can put that together and write 01:35:10.383 --> 01:35:11.649
can put that together and write the report for the officer. It
01:35:11.651 --> 01:35:14.251
the report for the officer. It clearly has to be approved, um,
01:35:14.253 --> 01:35:15.253
clearly has to be approved, um, one of the other really
01:35:15.255 --> 01:35:16.988
one of the other really interesting things is the
01:35:16.990 --> 01:35:17.922
interesting things is the quality control measures that
01:35:17.924 --> 01:35:20.391
quality control measures that this software can now watch all 01:35:20.393 --> 01:35:22.326
this software can now watch all the body worn camera and
01:35:22.328 --> 01:35:24.295
the body worn camera and immediately alert the sergeant
01:35:24.297 --> 01:35:25.729
immediately alert the sergeant if there's um inappropriate
01:35:25.731 --> 01:35:26.931
if there's um inappropriate language by the officer if
01:35:26.933 --> 01:35:28.265
language by the officer if there's discriminatory. conduct
01:35:28.267 --> 01:35:29.934
there's discriminatory. conduct by the officer, inappropriate
01:35:29.936 --> 01:35:31.735
by the officer, inappropriate conduct, it would automatically 01:35:31.737 --> 01:35:33.604
conduct, it would automatically alert that sergeant that that
01:35:33.606 --> 01:35:35.873
alert that sergeant that that activity took place, um, also
01:35:35.875 --> 01:35:37.341
activity took place, um, also this new advanced system would
01:35:37.343 --> 01:35:38.942
this new advanced system would um integrate storage of all
01:35:38.944 --> 01:35:39.877
um integrate storage of all digital evidence, as you can
01:35:39.879 --> 01:35:41.145
digital evidence, as you can see the amount of digital 01:35:41.147 --> 01:35:43.281
see the amount of digital evidence that we are gathering
01:35:43.283 --> 01:35:44.281
evidence that we are gathering is becoming massive and
01:35:44.283 --> 01:35:46.016
is becoming massive and managing that is a real problem.
01:35:46.018 --> 01:35:47.484
managing that is a real problem. And then we also have the
01:35:47.486 --> 01:35:49.420
And then we also have the transfer all of our old body
01:35:49.422 --> 01:35:51.289
transfer all of our old body camera videos that is literally 01:35:51.291 --> 01:35:53.423
camera videos that is literally on DVDs, um, we would be able
01:35:53.425 --> 01:35:56.860
on DVDs, um, we would be able to embed that and store that.
01:35:56.862 --> 01:35:59.830
to embed that and store that. With that, it was rather fast,
01:35:59.832 --> 01:36:00.497
With that, it was rather fast, but I will stand for any 01:36:00.499 --> 01:36:05.502
but I will stand for any questions. Council member Tran,
01:36:05.504 --> 01:36:06.637
questions. Council member Tran, and thank you Chief for the
01:36:06.639 --> 01:36:12.710
and thank you Chief for the presentation. Um, my question 01:36:12.712 --> 01:36:16.847
presentation. Um, my question for you is that Uh, who has the
01:36:16.849 --> 01:36:22.253
for you is that Uh, who has the ability to or to, you know, Up 01:36:22.255 --> 01:36:25.022
ability to or to, you know, Up update or to remove part of the,
01:36:25.024 --> 01:36:30.127
update or to remove part of the, the uh the record. Mayor 01:36:30.129 --> 01:36:30.794
the uh the record. Mayor Winston customers comes from
01:36:30.796 --> 01:36:32.596
Winston customers comes from our tram. Are you asking like,
01:36:32.598 --> 01:36:33.997
our tram. Are you asking like, can the officer manipulate
01:36:33.999 --> 01:36:36.000
can the officer manipulate their own body worn camera
01:36:36.002 --> 01:36:37.134
their own body worn camera footage, not the officer, but
01:36:37.136 --> 01:36:41.338
footage, not the officer, but you know. Someone 01:36:41.340 --> 01:36:44.141
you know. Someone administration or, you know, uh,
01:36:44.143 --> 01:36:49.613
administration or, you know, uh, upper level. Who can enter or
01:36:49.615 --> 01:36:53.217
upper level. Who can enter or remove part of or um up update. 01:36:53.219 --> 01:36:55.619
remove part of or um up update. Um, well, nobody has the
01:36:55.621 --> 01:36:56.754
Um, well, nobody has the authority to do anything on the
01:36:56.756 --> 01:36:59.022
authority to do anything on the video other than we have
01:36:59.024 --> 01:37:00.024
video other than we have obligations to provide it and 01:37:00.026 --> 01:37:01.959
obligations to provide it and disseminate it to like the
01:37:01.961 --> 01:37:03.961
disseminate it to like the courts for cases sometimes uh
01:37:03.963 --> 01:37:04.495
courts for cases sometimes uh data practices requests
01:37:04.497 --> 01:37:06.296
data practices requests requires us to release it to
01:37:06.298 --> 01:37:07.765
requires us to release it to the individuals that are in
01:37:07.767 --> 01:37:09.233
the individuals that are in that actual video, they have a
01:37:09.235 --> 01:37:10.768
that actual video, they have a right to it. So if there's a a 01:37:10.770 --> 01:37:12.303
right to it. So if there's a a traffic stop and the drivers on
01:37:12.305 --> 01:37:14.038
traffic stop and the drivers on body worn camera, they have a
01:37:14.040 --> 01:37:15.306
body worn camera, they have a right to that footage, um, but
01:37:15.308 --> 01:37:16.240
right to that footage, um, but if there's other people that
01:37:16.242 --> 01:37:17.107
if there's other people that are captured in that footage,
01:37:17.109 --> 01:37:18.442
are captured in that footage, and they have to be redacted.
01:37:18.444 --> 01:37:21.345
and they have to be redacted. So we have staff that do the 01:37:21.347 --> 01:37:22.646
So we have staff that do the redacting of uh voices and face
01:37:22.648 --> 01:37:25.182
redacting of uh voices and face of other people. If there's a
01:37:25.184 --> 01:37:27.684
of other people. If there's a public request for the footage,
01:37:27.686 --> 01:37:28.919
public request for the footage, um, so that help, uh, we have
01:37:28.921 --> 01:37:30.454
um, so that help, uh, we have staff that are able to edit the 01:37:30.456 --> 01:37:34.057
staff that are able to edit the video, or I should say, um.
01:37:34.059 --> 01:37:36.660
video, or I should say, um. Really redact the video to make
01:37:36.662 --> 01:37:38.128
Really redact the video to make it releasable publicly, um, but
01:37:38.130 --> 01:37:40.197
it releasable publicly, um, but there's really nobody that has 01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:42.266
there's really nobody that has authority to change. Or
01:37:42.268 --> 01:37:44.468
authority to change. Or manipulate the data, it's all
01:37:44.470 --> 01:37:45.602
manipulate the data, it's all stored and categorized into our
01:37:45.604 --> 01:37:51.341
stored and categorized into our Axon platform. OK. Thank you. 01:37:51.343 --> 01:37:54.545
Axon platform. OK. Thank you. Council member Kanowski. Thank
01:37:54.547 --> 01:37:55.946
Council member Kanowski. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Chief
01:37:55.948 --> 01:37:57.915
you, Mayor. Thank you, Chief Burley. Uh, one question, I
01:37:57.917 --> 01:37:59.149
Burley. Uh, one question, I apologize if you already said
01:37:59.151 --> 01:38:02.052
apologize if you already said this, but what? For what time 01:38:02.054 --> 01:38:03.854
this, but what? For what time duration do you guys keep data?
01:38:03.856 --> 01:38:06.089
duration do you guys keep data? You keep your video. Mayor
01:38:06.091 --> 01:38:08.492
You keep your video. Mayor Winston, uh, council members,
01:38:08.494 --> 01:38:09.627
Winston, uh, council members, council member Kanowski, um, we
01:38:09.629 --> 01:38:12.029
council member Kanowski, um, we have a, we follow a state 01:38:12.031 --> 01:38:13.430
have a, we follow a state guidelines on data. I believe
01:38:13.432 --> 01:38:15.366
guidelines on data. I believe it's 7 years for just straight
01:38:15.368 --> 01:38:17.768
it's 7 years for just straight video, so, um, uh, any if if
01:38:17.770 --> 01:38:21.571
video, so, um, uh, any if if it's a, a traffic stop today, 01:38:21.573 --> 01:38:22.439
it's a, a traffic stop today, um, when it's officer Hazard by
01:38:22.441 --> 01:38:23.507
um, when it's officer Hazard by wearing camera on that we would
01:38:23.509 --> 01:38:24.441
wearing camera on that we would retain that for 7 years and
01:38:24.443 --> 01:38:26.777
retain that for 7 years and then it would fall off. Um, and
01:38:26.779 --> 01:38:28.245
then it would fall off. Um, and that's just some action was
01:38:28.247 --> 01:38:30.780
that's just some action was taken. If it's a video where an 01:38:30.782 --> 01:38:32.449
taken. If it's a video where an officer, um, turns on their
01:38:32.451 --> 01:38:33.383
officer, um, turns on their camera and there was no action
01:38:33.385 --> 01:38:34.718
camera and there was no action taken, so there was, let's say
01:38:34.720 --> 01:38:37.053
taken, so there was, let's say they take a report about. Uh, a
01:38:37.055 --> 01:38:37.921
they take a report about. Uh, a missing lawn mower and that
01:38:37.923 --> 01:38:39.189
missing lawn mower and that lawn mower is falling the next
01:38:39.191 --> 01:38:41.859
lawn mower is falling the next day. Um, it is very in that 01:38:41.861 --> 01:38:42.726
day. Um, it is very in that video would last for 30 days
01:38:42.728 --> 01:38:44.328
video would last for 30 days and then fall off the system.
01:38:44.330 --> 01:38:45.729
and then fall off the system. So it's kind of category
01:38:45.731 --> 01:38:46.796
So it's kind of category depends on the category. If it
01:38:46.798 --> 01:38:48.866
depends on the category. If it involves a homicide, it's
01:38:48.868 --> 01:38:49.733
involves a homicide, it's indefinitely. Um, if it's a
01:38:49.735 --> 01:38:51.034
indefinitely. Um, if it's a criminal case, it stays with a 01:38:51.036 --> 01:38:52.503
criminal case, it stays with a criminal case and then 7 years
01:38:52.505 --> 01:38:54.471
criminal case and then 7 years after that. So, quite honestly,
01:38:54.473 --> 01:38:56.874
after that. So, quite honestly, it really depends on on how the
01:38:56.876 --> 01:38:58.408
it really depends on on how the the data is categorized or how
01:38:58.410 --> 01:38:59.943
the data is categorized or how it was captured. OK, yeah,
01:38:59.945 --> 01:39:01.344
it was captured. OK, yeah, thank you. That's a lot of data 01:39:01.346 --> 01:39:03.680
thank you. That's a lot of data to keep for a long time. OK,
01:39:03.682 --> 01:39:13.323
to keep for a long time. OK, thank you. Appreciate it. Any 01:39:13.325 --> 01:39:17.761
thank you. Appreciate it. Any further questions or comments?
01:39:17.763 --> 01:39:21.298
further questions or comments? I think, um, I mean, maybe in 01:39:21.300 --> 01:39:22.566
I think, um, I mean, maybe in some one on ones I don't want
01:39:22.568 --> 01:39:23.500
some one on ones I don't want to understand, you know, what
01:39:23.502 --> 01:39:25.035
to understand, you know, what we can do with some of that
01:39:25.037 --> 01:39:26.570
we can do with some of that data or some of the long term
01:39:26.572 --> 01:39:27.871
data or some of the long term trends we can begin to
01:39:27.873 --> 01:39:29.339
trends we can begin to understand, but I know that it
01:39:29.341 --> 01:39:30.774
understand, but I know that it takes a while to kind of dive 01:39:30.776 --> 01:39:32.309
takes a while to kind of dive into that amount of data and,
01:39:32.311 --> 01:39:34.177
into that amount of data and, and, uh, their specific
01:39:34.179 --> 01:39:34.912
and, uh, their specific services that do all of that,
01:39:34.914 --> 01:39:36.713
services that do all of that, but I do think that it would be
01:39:36.715 --> 01:39:38.716
but I do think that it would be nice if as a council we could.
01:39:38.718 --> 01:39:39.783
nice if as a council we could. Learn a little bit more about
01:39:39.785 --> 01:39:41.652
Learn a little bit more about what we can do with that, just 01:39:41.654 --> 01:39:43.587
what we can do with that, just to help improve the city, help
01:39:43.589 --> 01:39:44.454
to help improve the city, help us understand trends going
01:39:44.456 --> 01:39:47.458
us understand trends going forward as well, so. Right, I
01:39:47.460 --> 01:39:49.326
forward as well, so. Right, I don't, I have no further
01:39:49.328 --> 01:39:50.260
don't, I have no further comments or questions. So thank 01:39:50.262 --> 01:39:51.595
comments or questions. So thank you, Chief. Uh, thank you for
01:39:51.597 --> 01:39:55.533

01:39:55.535 --> 01:40:02.406
the work that you do as well. Alright. So next. We will head 01:40:02.408 --> 01:40:03.674
Alright. So next. We will head into council member reports and
01:40:03.676 --> 01:40:06.944
into council member reports and announcements. Council member
01:40:06.946 --> 01:40:16.486
announcements. Council member Tran. I, I just want to share, 01:40:16.488 --> 01:40:18.689
Tran. I, I just want to share, uh, I want to bring this up, uh,
01:40:18.691 --> 01:40:22.960
uh, I want to bring this up, uh, because, um, Uh, usually, we 01:40:22.962 --> 01:40:25.696
because, um, Uh, usually, we forget about that. When the
01:40:25.698 --> 01:40:28.165
forget about that. When the city send letter to people, we
01:40:28.167 --> 01:40:31.435
city send letter to people, we assume that They already got it. 01:40:31.437 --> 01:40:33.971
assume that They already got it. They know about that, but uh We
01:40:33.973 --> 01:40:38.575
They know about that, but uh We have like More than half are in
01:40:38.577 --> 01:40:41.144
have like More than half are in the city are no white 01:40:41.146 --> 01:40:44.648
the city are no white population and many are
01:40:44.650 --> 01:40:46.083
population and many are Language barriers, um, and then
01:40:46.085 --> 01:40:46.984
Language barriers, um, and then another thing is that the fact
01:40:46.986 --> 01:40:50.621
another thing is that the fact is that Included me, my 01:40:50.623 --> 01:40:52.055
is that Included me, my neighborhood, and then resident,
01:40:52.057 --> 01:40:55.592
neighborhood, and then resident, they keep coming to me and this
01:40:55.594 --> 01:40:57.928
they keep coming to me and this happening for several years, uh,
01:40:57.930 --> 01:41:01.364
happening for several years, uh, that we lost mail on the mail, 01:41:01.366 --> 01:41:04.134
that we lost mail on the mail, the people mail delivery, uh,
01:41:04.136 --> 01:41:07.671
the people mail delivery, uh, Couldn't read the address.
01:41:07.673 --> 01:41:10.073
Couldn't read the address. correctly, or couldn't read the 01:41:10.075 --> 01:41:10.741
correctly, or couldn't read the number correctly. And that's
01:41:10.743 --> 01:41:15.679
number correctly. And that's why When we uh send something
01:41:15.681 --> 01:41:17.281
why When we uh send something to the people we want to hear
01:41:17.283 --> 01:41:20.217
to the people we want to hear back, we need to make sure that 01:41:20.219 --> 01:41:23.487
back, we need to make sure that uh include the, you know,
01:41:23.489 --> 01:41:24.421
uh include the, you know, language barrier people
01:41:24.423 --> 01:41:26.490
language barrier people population and the uh the mail
01:41:26.492 --> 01:41:31.862
population and the uh the mail delivery. Um, probably couldn't 01:41:31.864 --> 01:41:33.764
delivery. Um, probably couldn't people didn't get it because it,
01:41:33.766 --> 01:41:37.767
people didn't get it because it, it, it go around it it messy by
01:41:37.769 --> 01:41:39.637
it, it go around it it messy by the wrong delivery. Um, that's
01:41:39.639 --> 01:41:42.973
the wrong delivery. Um, that's what I want to bring up to the 01:41:42.975 --> 01:41:44.908
what I want to bring up to the city and our cultural college
01:41:44.910 --> 01:41:48.278
city and our cultural college that, you know, uh, we, we need
01:41:48.280 --> 01:41:51.782
that, you know, uh, we, we need to take in those facts before 01:41:51.784 --> 01:41:54.184
to take in those facts before we assume that, oh, they all
01:41:54.186 --> 01:41:56.520
we assume that, oh, they all know about that. The city
01:41:56.522 --> 01:41:58.655
know about that. The city already send out mail and. Uh,
01:41:58.657 --> 01:42:00.591
already send out mail and. Uh, people already know. But that 01:42:00.593 --> 01:42:04.661
people already know. But that is not the case. Council member
01:42:04.663 --> 01:42:11.267
is not the case. Council member page. Thank you, Mayor. I had 01:42:11.269 --> 01:42:12.803

01:42:27.219 --> 01:42:29.687
Biggest comments that I had while I was uh running for city
01:42:29.689 --> 01:42:30.687
while I was uh running for city council was how important it 01:42:30.689 --> 01:42:32.489
council was how important it was for us to all be cohesive
01:42:32.491 --> 01:42:34.758
was for us to all be cohesive and work together. And I can
01:42:34.760 --> 01:42:37.161
and work together. And I can say without a doubt, it's super
01:42:37.163 --> 01:42:39.096
say without a doubt, it's super important for us to follow the
01:42:39.098 --> 01:42:40.297
important for us to follow the Robert's rules when we're 01:42:40.299 --> 01:42:42.032

01:42:42.034 --> 01:42:43.934
having these conversations, and I am thankful that you all
01:42:43.936 --> 01:42:46.170
I am thankful that you all worked so hard to put this
01:42:46.172 --> 01:42:47.504
worked so hard to put this together because we are taking
01:42:47.506 --> 01:42:49.806
together because we are taking time away from the city when we
01:42:49.808 --> 01:42:51.108
time away from the city when we are not running efficient 01:42:51.110 --> 01:42:52.976
are not running efficient meetings and I just want to
01:42:52.978 --> 01:42:54.644

work is noticed in this code of conduct. I don't want to call 01:43:00.753 --> 01:43:02.719
conduct. I don't want to call it the wrong name, but I just
01:43:02.721 --> 01:43:03.721
it the wrong name, but I just appreciate the fact that you
01:43:03.723 --> 01:43:05.723
appreciate the fact that you guys worked so hard on the time

guys worked so hard on the time and where it may feel like a
01:43:08.527 --> 01:43:10.928
and where it may feel like a deterrent for some folks, order 01:43:10.930 --> 01:43:12.962
deterrent for some folks, order is important, process matters,
01:43:12.964 --> 01:43:14.464
is important, process matters, um, and I appreciate the fact
01:43:14.466 --> 01:43:16.733

01:43:16.735 --> 01:43:19.169
that the council prior to me being elected, uh, worked so
01:43:19.171 --> 01:43:21.171
being elected, uh, worked so hard to work together. Um, so 01:43:21.173 --> 01:43:23.607
hard to work together. Um, so we can do business that the
01:43:23.609 --> 01:43:25.075
we can do business that the city needs versus um taking
01:43:25.077 --> 01:43:25.976
city needs versus um taking away from important issues. So
01:43:25.978 --> 01:43:28.945
away from important issues. So I just wanted to thank you all
01:43:28.947 --> 01:43:29.813

01:43:29.815 --> 01:43:31.148
for doing the work. Sometimes You have to show up when it's 01:43:31.150 --> 01:43:34.484
You have to show up when it's hard. It's, that's character

and then I, uh, Uh, at least on our end, I don't see any other
01:43:52.704 --> 01:43:53.637

01:43:53.639 --> 01:43:55.438
comments. We can go ahead and close it out, but I will say
01:43:55.440 --> 01:43:56.406
close it out, but I will say thanks to staff and folks for
01:43:56.408 --> 01:43:58.242
thanks to staff and folks for when they do get these notices
01:43:58.244 --> 01:43:59.509
when they do get these notices out, and they are, you know,
01:43:59.511 --> 01:44:00.510
out, and they are, you know, obeying the letter of the law 01:44:00.512 --> 01:44:02.712
obeying the letter of the law and what we do in terms of best
01:44:02.714 --> 01:44:03.647
and what we do in terms of best practices for the city,
01:44:03.649 --> 01:44:05.615
practices for the city, notifying people. I will also
01:44:05.617 --> 01:44:06.783
notifying people. I will also tell residents that, um, and
01:44:06.785 --> 01:44:08.185
tell residents that, um, and it's the same for us as council
01:44:08.187 --> 01:44:10.654
it's the same for us as council members. That is not always 01:44:10.656 --> 01:44:12.455
members. That is not always easy to track all of the
01:44:12.457 --> 01:44:13.456
easy to track all of the information, uh, that we get in
01:44:13.458 --> 01:44:15.325
information, uh, that we get in front of us. But there's simply
01:44:15.327 --> 01:44:17.861
front of us. But there's simply a duty as a resident, as, as
01:44:17.863 --> 01:44:19.796
a duty as a resident, as, as citizens, as council members to
01:44:19.798 --> 01:44:21.631
citizens, as council members to do the work of tracking. 01:44:21.633 --> 01:44:22.732
do the work of tracking. Keeping up with these important
01:44:22.734 --> 01:44:25.134
Keeping up with these important decisions. And so we can't
01:44:25.136 --> 01:44:26.937
decisions. And so we can't always, uh, push that back and
01:44:26.939 --> 01:44:28.839
always, uh, push that back and we can't always ask for more
01:44:28.841 --> 01:44:29.473
we can't always ask for more information. Sometimes a
01:44:29.475 --> 01:44:31.675
information. Sometimes a decision needs to be made when 01:44:31.677 --> 01:44:33.076
decision needs to be made when the decision, um, needs to be
01:44:33.078 --> 01:44:34.611
the decision, um, needs to be made, but it's all of our
01:44:34.613 --> 01:44:35.679
made, but it's all of our responsibility to stay up to
01:44:35.681 --> 01:44:37.147
responsibility to stay up to date, uh, with information
01:44:37.149 --> 01:44:38.682
date, uh, with information that's put in front of us. So I
01:44:38.684 --> 01:44:40.450
that's put in front of us. So I appreciate, uh, council members, 01:44:40.452 --> 01:44:41.951
appreciate, uh, council members, uh, doing that in a residence.
01:44:41.953 --> 01:44:43.821
uh, doing that in a residence. I appreciate you doing that
01:44:43.823 --> 01:44:44.755
I appreciate you doing that even though you have a ton
01:44:44.757 --> 01:44:45.823
even though you have a ton going on in your lives and you
01:44:45.825 --> 01:44:48.692
going on in your lives and you get a ton pushed at you. Um, so
01:44:48.694 --> 01:44:49.827
get a ton pushed at you. Um, so next, we will go ahead and move
01:44:49.829 --> 01:44:52.762
next, we will go ahead and move to city. manager reports and 01:44:52.764 --> 01:44:54.230
