All right, we're going to call to order tonight's August 7th, 2025 planning commission meeting. And we will begin with roll call. Commissioner Lind here, Commissioner Zachman >> here, >> and Commissioner Brummond is here. >> At this time, I'd invite you all to stand and say the pledge of allegiance with us. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay. And we have a really light agenda tonight, but we will still offer the opportunity for any commissioners or staff to make amendments to the agenda. Mad >> chair, staff has no changes to the agenda. >> Okay. And then if there are no uh changes from the commissioners, then I will make a motion to approve tonight's agenda. >> I'll second. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. Anyone opposed? Okay. And then we'll move into our open forum, which is the opportunity for the public to address the um commission on any items not on tonight's agenda. And at this point in time, we'll just note for all those who are joining us on Zoom or watching the recording later that there is no one from the public joining us um tonight. And since we only take public comments, we will move on from the open forum um to and I don't think we need a motion to close open form. That's right. Okay. And then we're just going to move on to approving the minutes from the July 8th, 2025 planning commission meeting. Is there anyone who needed to make a note of any changes? If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> I'll make a motion to approve the minutes from the July 2025 meeting. >> I'll second. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. Anyone opposed? >> Okay. And at this point in time, then that moves us into our other business because we actually don't have any uh planning items tonight. So, we are just going to get a staff presentation on Granicus. And it are you going to introduce that? I will introduce I guess I'm not presenting it but uh yeah this presentation will be um presented to you today by uh the city clerk Deb Johnson um and uh IT manager Dean Bush. Uh so if you guys want to gather at the table, we'll have a more interactive training session with iPads and >> bring your iPads and come to the table. >> They're so would like he's flagging us down. So, Councilman Baron Camp, >> if I may, I would love to sit through it, but I'm going to sit through it myself. >> Yeah. >> I was hoping if you had questions for me. I haven't been here for two meetings. >> One meeting I had a grandson. My first one. Second meeting was a second meeting was a family vacation. >> Congratulations. >> I'm here tonight to answer anything you got. >> Um, if that's if that's >> Yeah. Let's move the, you know, item 6C. Um, if you guys are willing, just uh allow that to go to the forefront and then, um, Commissioner Baronamp would be, uh, free to go and then we'll move on with the, um, training. So, is there anyone who has any questions for Councilman Baronamp? >> Do you have any news from the council? Anything interesting? >> It's been a quiet, I shouldn't say it, a quiet summer. um is a public service announcement. Night was unbelievable. Again, I think there was over 1,500 people out at um out at uh public works. We had 14 neighborhood parties, council, mayor, bunch of us split up and made it to every one of them. Um no, in the ones I went to, I went to four. No negative comments. Great to see what's going on. Where's the best place to get information? And I told them, stop listening or looking at the Cork and Gazette on Facebook and call staff. Call the city with your questions, please, or any one of the council members. Um, everything has been fantastic out at the Lions Park. We've got country days coming next this weekend. next weekend, excuse me. >> Um, Summerfest for anybody that doesn't know, out at Burfield Shield School by me on 10, that's Sunday noon to 4:30. Great little place to stop, buy a raffle ticket, and if you win, you don't have to be present to win, but they've got some pretty good stuff out there. And it's a step back in time. That that little house is a time capsule. We've done a lot for them to help them out with their floor, their chimney, their bell tower, and now their roof. if you haven't been by. It's pretty much sealed up nice and tight. Um the country days again the following weekend, St. Thomas Festival a week from Sunday. That's always good. They're trying to raise money, more money to finish everything they need hopefully for the church as that gets rebuilt. They need that and they tell me they need that badly. And I've been in the Catholic church and it's not handicapped accessible. The bathrooms are difficult to get to and the walls are not falling in, they're falling out. If you've ever walked in there, there's cables holding the walls together. So, >> something needs to happen there. Um, a lot of conversation from people about the city making promises related to our downtown. So, if there's one thing you could do there, the vision of our downtown was St. Terres and then other shops and things like that. But everybody's got to agree to that. And if the land owner that owns it now is not coming with information and not doing stuff, there's very little we can do about it. So, a number of folks have made those comments and it's like, well, the city promised. No, we have a plan, but everybody has to agree. Let them know that. >> But the zoning kind of dictates what can be built there. Correct. >> But the landowner can choose not to engage. >> It's mixed use. It's very It's a very open deal. I've gotten the land owner to the table with us to talk about what he and they are thinking and it it's pretty close to what we the city did back six seven years ago. Um, other than a really grid system, his is more meandering along the the definitions of the cicks and stuff like that, which I like that detail a little bit more, but everybody's got to talk the same the same talk and get going down the same deal. And I'll I'll try to keep that dialogue open and such. >> Um, everything up on hope church development, if that's the way we say it, I forget how we say it. Um, that is moving. They are being very particular on who they're dealing with and what they're going to put in and such. >> They had a sign up. Sorry. They had a sign up calling for de developers that were interested. >> Yeah, they had five signs up and we cut that down to one. >> So, did they did they have developers step forward then? >> No, we cut it down to one because they didn't have a permit to have that many signs and stuff. >> Okay. I didn't see any signs anymore. >> It's been it's been one since and uh they are talking to a number of people. Um, lot of activity all the way along County Road 30 from that intersection all the way over to Mama G's and then both sides. Just a lot of conversation but nothing happening. >> May I ask a question? >> Please do. >> Okay. So, we got the first set of goals from the Met Council regarding the 2026 or the next comprehensive plan that we'll go through. And um it's interesting because what was highlighted was minimize disruption to food systems and maintain agriculture. But two huge plots of land on 10 and on 30 just went up for sale and the one on 30 sold right away. And so my question is as a city, I know obviously we can't, but how do we work with the county related to preserving egg? Because the county has egg programs, but a lot of times like it's difficult for residents or land owners to find that information and it's becoming increasingly >> speaking from me. Um the county is doing everything they can not to let anybody develop. seems like because they all need turn lanes and all this and that has blown the whole number of developments out of the water. Um the two that you're talking about are in those areas that the county not much our our um our ordinances related to minimum 10 acres those kind of things average 10 acres per parcel those kind of things is is about what we have Dwight you can correct me if I'm wrong we already have the one next to the one on County Road 10 which already goes to 30 is under all kinds of duress because the power line easement and other things that's been going on for a little over two years now. So, it I have no suggestion or anything other than you already, you know, you're down the street from the Beold Farms. That is a pretty okay development ranging anywhere between 6 acres and upwards. And those are some expensive homes and stuff. >> Sure. I don't mean more homes. I mean, what are we doing to maintain like and benefit our egg producers? >> Well, again, that that's that's a whole different conversation because the Met Council also wants to change things and then legislatedly they wanted to open up low density being 5 acre, five units per acre plus, if I remember all of that stuff with the legislative things that wanted to change, but that's not the county. the county we don't get much direction. >> That was going to be my question. So >> we don't we don't get much direction. They don't >> and >> or input is that was my question. If you want to provide feedback, >> we don't give they don't listen to us. We I've been hounding about intersections and traffic and all of those things. And they made the comment, Madam Chair, that, you know, it'd be nice if they could be included in what we are trying to do. and they're included in every development we have. Our staff does a really good job. They are they don't seem to be worried about traffic. They're finally starting to look at County Road 30 with the 610 change that's happened. Um all of that is dumping into our dumping into Corkran at County Road 30 and 101. Um they don't seem to be listening to us much. Um, it's frustrating on our part. Send your comments and questions to Kevin Anderson. >> Oh, and I'm reaching out to representatives. I just wonder how all these people plan on creating a strong food system. Um, if we can't also find a way to maintain egg. So, I just keep asking >> farmers can't afford. Correct. It's a difficult year. >> That's terrible. >> Yes. So, no, you and I I' I'd appreciate the side of town being left that way and stuff, but that's a whole different conversation. So, >> okay. >> Um, everybody, Lindsay, you're up there in an area that's kind of right on the border and stuff. Jay, if I remember right, you are down. Are you in M&I Homes over here? >> Uh, no. I'm actually very close to Shoot Farm. next to Shy. >> You're out by the shy. Okay, cool. Oh, you're up on No, that's right. You're up by Shade by Jake and stuff. >> Yeah. Yes, that's where I get my pig from. Um, no, I I remembered that all of a sudden. So it Cecilia, I know where you are out on the west side of town and stuff, but >> we got to do everything we can to grow the eastern third the metal or the metro service urban service area responsibly nice and uh your visions, thoughts and ideas are heard when you talk. >> Do we envision that the Musa will move? I think that will be a part of the next conversation that begins in the fall of 2026. Okay. >> Yeah. I I was part of that over Maple Grove. It moved out to Lawndale and then 3 months later it encompassed all of Maple Grove is how that went. It was supposed to be one move and then 10 years later the next change. But when I was in Maple Grove and that's probably 20 it was probably 25 years ago that I went through that when I was out there and things changed rapidly because I was in the country in Maple Grove. So it it's it's one of those things and there's just not that much more capacity. If it were to grow there would have to be another sewer line and another main water man that would have to change. um or the the we would be responsible for adding water towers and maybe even another water treatment just if it grows that much. So, it's a little nuts. So, >> does anyone else have any additional questions? >> Any questions? Jay, again, welcome. I haven't seen you, but uh they picked we had good choices this year and stuff and kind of picking neighborhoods and stuff. you're from a neighborhood that it could get a little crazy for you guys. So, >> it's good to have everybody. >> One question. So, the comp plan update, you said fall of 2026 is when we're going to start that >> starts. >> We'll be starting it next year. I don't know if it's fall specifically. I know that we're going to start kicking it off. >> Uh not specific timelines yet, but sometime mid to late >> in our recommendations. We would love to get it in before obviously 2030, but uh it's the 2050 comp plan. >> The 2050 update. I think we'll have to have it submitted to the Met Council by 2028. >> Yeah. >> For their review. Um so I think we're going to start next year. >> Number of public hearings and other things. >> Yeah. Just a two-year engagement process. >> Yeah. >> A lot of information. So look on the website for all of the things >> or our newsletter or >> there's so much communication going up out that was a frustrating thing out at public works for Nike. Everybody says how do we know what's going on in the city? Where do you live? This address you get is it 16 pages or 18 page update quarterly update in the mail. I just throw that away. Well, that's what's going on in this city. >> The one feedback from residents is that they if the neighborhood parties continue to grow, they would uh appreciate it if it didn't conflict with the night toight that the city puts on. That's take it or leave it. It was the only feedback. >> Yeah, I I agree with that. And and again, there's all of the neighborhood parties, they get packet, they get gift I say gift bags. They get a whole bunch of stuff to give to their neighborhoods and stuff. And the ones that I was at, I said, you know, and when you're done or come on over, we got pork chops, we got sweet corn, we got all kinds of drawings out of public works. Well, we didn't know that. It's like if you registered for the party, it was in the same information as. So, it uh it's something I don't think I would want to go away out of public works with all of the donations and everything that comes in. I think nearly everything is donated um by businesses and such and the neighborhood parties is a great deal but night to unite is just that it's it's one or the other for right now. So >> good input. Thank you. >> Okay. And if there's nothing else then we um we'll thank C >> I do have one question. I'm also learning the processes a little bit. Um, any updates related to the Quick Trip development? >> Quick Trip was approved. >> Okay. >> They walked away >> because they they did not appreciate the one conditional use was limited hours to closing at 10 p.m. >> They wanted to be at 24/7. >> That was their decision. >> When we were talking, I think you all recommended >> We recommended it with the approval of 24 hours. Yep. And it was going that way. And then one of our council members put in because they actually said they do have some quick trips that were limited hours to 10 that was put in. I said yes to it because I kind of wanted a quick trip there. Um, but they walked away because they would did not want to limit it to a 20 6 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. deal. So, that's off the table as far as I know. So, >> and then there's a lot going on on the corner. Mama G's that property. I see activity around the property out in front of Belleather. That's that's mixed use or commercial, I forget. >> It's mixed use. and then that whole area south of that weather to 30 that I believe something's coming soon to us and I know I know there's a development coming. They're going through the process right now. >> Thank you. >> Okay, great question. And if you got a question, my phone number is my cell phone. Leave a message. I will call back. >> All right. Thank you so much, uh, Councilman. >> Thank you for moving. Thank you for moving it. Thank you. Have fun. >> All right. Thank you, Deb. >> Congrats on the grand, baby. >> Congratulations. >> So, good deal. >> And at this point in time, I think Deb, you want us to vacate our seats up here and join you at the table. >> And I'm gonna Yeah, we'll have you come up with your iPads and sit around the table. And I'm going to have Dean start with you cuz he's going to get you guys logged into your iPads with everything. We have your passwords. We have your name. >> Um, so we'll get you started with that and then we'll go right into Granas. >> Thank you. >> Yep. Cool jacket, by the way. I missed it last time. >> Very cool. Sorry. Go ahead. Got to gather my things. >> This is for J. this for right now. Thank you. [Music] So, the first page is his those are your app passwords and I'll let you go through that. He's also going to go through the city owned device policy with you guys. So, >> yeah, we'll just quick >> Yeah, we'll start with that. It's a it's a very basic simple policy we put together. Pretty self-explanatory. you know, it's property, user property in the city. Um, limited personal use. People use, you know, stuff. So, we don't get too uptight about that. Um, can use it as you'd like. Uh, there's no service on them. They're just Wi-Fi only. Um, you know, take care of the device. If if they're ever lost or damaged or stolen, whatever, just let us know immediately because they're all remotely managed. so that we can kill them and do whatever we need to do. Um, and then at the end of your appointment or whatever, just return the device. Um, and then it just says that you know we we can mon the device for usage if we want. And then there's a part about the company email again. So that it is a city of corporate email account. So just be aware of that. you know, if your emails somebody uh anything is all discoverable. Um so there's a lawsuit or whatever any emails you sent to be discoverable. So that's you know everybody has their you'll see it on here. Um that's your email address. So then yeah, why don't we just kind of go right into this? So they're they're pretty they're pretty well set up for you. Um, the only thing you're going to have to really know is that pin. And they they're probably all the same. >> Yeah. >> Sorry. How does it open? >> So, that looks like that. And then, >> oh my god, amazing. >> Yeah. And if you guys want different cases or anything, just let us know. These are these are pretty nice cuz you have a keyboard. >> Love it. Yeah, we we use these actually quite a bit in some places. Um so yeah, everybody um your the pins on your sheet >> and I think they're all the same. >> There it is. Um, you'll see on these sheets you've got, so you see your name, your email, that is your email password. We set those, we're not really supposed to, but we set them to not expire some depending on the case. So, those you can change your password at any time. There's a link on there. If you just want to go in and change it, you're more than welcome. Just follow that link. um at the bottom here and you can change your password anytime. You know, just the usual rules, capital letter and a number of character, things like that. Um if you do, so you're going to see there's not much on these. Um Dev of course is going to go through the high legislate and you have Outlook. So if you click on Outlook, you might already have a couple emails in there. doesn't look like you have any, but because they're pretty new, but um >> question. So, like Dwight, when you in when you send things, are you going to be sending it to this email address now >> or are you going to send it to our personal what we've always >> We'll be sending it to the peak email address, the the one on Granus. So, >> so this one to the city one. >> So, it'll be the city one. >> Okay. So, we need we're going to need to be checking this. >> Yes. because right now we get into our personal so it's just >> right um when when new packets come out or whatever it's going to be tied to that email. >> Okay. >> So okay that's a good transition. Okay. >> Yeah. So you see that on there if So if you um if you want to check your email anywhere else um I'm sure you're well aware everything you do these days there's multiffactor and things like that. So, if say you're at home um and you want to check your email, it's um or or or you're not on you're not on your device. So, say you're at a on your laptop at a coffee shop or something like or something like that. You go to outlook what is it? Outlook.office.com I think. And then >> uh you know, of course, put in your use your username is the same. The Apple ID is one and the same. They're they're tied together. So you can you can disregard that Apple ID, but there's your username of course is your email address and your password. It will ask you to authenticate and everybody should have an authenticator icon on their desktop on the iPad. So what that means is like I said, say you grab your personal laptop, you go, it'll you log in, it'll come up with a two-digit number. I don't know if anybody has used the Microsoft authenticator, but it'll have the two-digit number and then you'll just start that up and get the two-digit number and it'll pass you through. >> But we'll have to have this. >> You'll have to have this. We can change it if you want to put it on like your personal cell phone or anything like that. You can put the authenticator anywhere you want. We just put them all in here just so at least you have a start. >> What if we have authenticators at work already? >> Question. keys. >> Yeah, you can have them multiple. I've got like on mine I've got uh I've even got a couple here. Um yeah, so you'll see I've got actually >> four different city and courts because of different things we have to log into. We have one called IT support. We have one for finance. So you can have multiple. um yours is already set up. If you go, you know, again, if you're on a different computer or something when you do it, just walk through the steps when it brings up the um QR code. >> Yeah, >> you just go in there and scan it. It's simple. But always just call us if you have any troubles, if you have. But yes, you can record this email address >> and then you don't have to add your device. You could just check it. >> Yep. >> Yep. And we realized that, but we didn't know what everybody wants and things like that. >> Mail. I mean, a variety of things were on Outlook. Um, >> I think you might have >> Yeah. So, >> go back to your >> Yeah, there you go. >> Yeah. You want to make sure you use the It's weird. There's some There's some places that don't I don't know why they don't like to use the Outlook app, but we actually prefer everybody use that's what it's built for, you know. So, Mhm. >> We prefer that everybody use the help. It's just easier that way. Stuff ties together. >> Uh I think that's about all I had. Like I said, if you want to reset the password, that's on there. Um you know, we put all this info in here, but again, you don't really need your Apple ID. They're already logged in. They're set up. Um, you can go to if you want you can go to on the desktop there's a company portal and what we do is we'll push apps out there and you can go if you see something there I think there's a couple granous shortcuts need or not but it's called company portal you just click on that and it will install for you >> or or if you want something that isn't in there we can add it >> do we have do we have a 365 subscription like meaning word >> you only have so the I think council too but the commission members only have what's called mobility to allow you to do this and a and a key one license which is just email >> okay >> we didn't do the full G3 which would be word and all that it's pretty much so you can log in >> y >> we can manage the device and get your email >> what is this port you were talking about >> it's an it's an icon Yeah, it's an icon on the desktop. >> It looks like a blue human. >> Yeah. >> What's the Wi-Fi here? >> Uh the public one. >> Yeah. >> Capital W. Welcome number two and capital CR. Oh, two. Number two. >> Number two. Sorry. Yeah. >> Should we be logging into the public city? >> The public one. >> That worked. >> Okay. I thought you were all logged into the public, but >> when I first opened [Music] >> Oh, weird. Okay. >> Yeah, I would I would use the public one. It's um >> sessions for >> you. We used the staff one, but we actually limit some things on the staff. The public >> and then with a capital C. >> Oh, you're using Windows 365 >> and that should be >> to manage you. Yes, we use two. >> Oh, you do? >> Yeah. So, what we do is it's pretty slick. Um, you you turn this on and I don't know if you've ever seen it, but you have either a phone or another iPad and you use what's called Apple Configurator. So, I start it up on wherever. You start that up. You go through a couple steps. You literally put it close to it and both will say, "Hey, there's another device." You do that. that adds it to Apple Business Manager and then we take control of it from there and put it into and that allows us to put those apps and buy the apps and do all that. It's it's pretty slick. Um >> I only so that's why >> what's that? >> I sell Microsoft so that's why >> Oh, is that right? Um, >> yeah, I've only been here six months, so a lot of this was set up and they did a good job of sending >> Yeah, they did got into company for just fine. >> Cool. Okay. >> All right. >> Yeah, that's about all I had. Um, but again, um, or whoever it was, put our cards out. So, >> would you guys prefer we change our password or >> I do. >> Nobody else knows them. >> Oh, they're all different. Okay. Passwords are different. >> Okay. I was going to say if we're all the same, I don't know if that's good. >> It's whatever your preference. If there's something that works better for you, then >> go for it. >> Yeah. Only the pins the the same for everybody. But >> yeah, they're all different. So, totally again, totally up to you. Just give us a holler if you need anything. >> Okay. Thank you for everything. Thank you. >> All right. Good. >> I'll make sure they sign your >> their little that they uh behave with their iPads. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> All right. >> I'll get all those gathered up at the end of training. So, you don't have to worry about that. >> Okay. So, you guys are all like on your homepage and you can see your icons. >> Yes. >> Do you see something that says I legislate? >> Yes. >> Go ahead and click on that. >> Fancy. Now, your >> you're going to see your page a little different from mine because you're on an iPad and I'm on a computer. So, look a little different. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, now each of you were given a smaller slip on the back. Here's a smaller one. Those are your going to be your credentials to get into I legislate. >> The domain is always going to be corporate.us.com. Hopefully that'll stay filled in for you. Your username is going to be your first name dot your last name and then put your password in and then you can go ahead and put go uh sign in. >> Oo. So what happens if not that it's a big deal but you all spelled my name wrong. >> Is it? >> Mhm. >> It's two Rs instead of two M. >> Well, we could reset you. Well, >> it's not been like >> Has it been spelled wrong this entire time? Can I No, because my name plate is right. But >> is is his is his name or it's just wrong in the >> Let me try >> the first page. >> Is your email right? >> Yeah. Oh, >> let me just see if it was just a typo. I'll try. >> Okay, that might have just been a typo. Let's >> Well, I'll try. >> Yeah, I I'm not even sure. Otherwise, I can go on the back end and do some fixing. >> This is cool. What? I didn't know existed. It is telling me that the password is not correct. I'll try again. But with my name spelled properly, it is not. Um that my husband was clearly during appointment or anchor. >> So, if you use it with the other name, >> will it allow you to get in >> and then what I'll do is go back and fix it and send you an email with a new setup after tonight's training. How does that sound? >> I love that one. That's perfect. >> We can fix that. >> Yes, it was with the incorrect. It is. >> I can't believe I did that. >> That's okay. It's a lot of names and things and >> Oh my gosh. Yeah, we've had to set up a lot of people on different things. >> Yeah. >> So, when you get in there, um, now I'm not sure what you're viewing. You could probably see everything that's ever been in there, right? >> There's a lot of listed under agendas. >> Okay. >> Planning Commission is the first up here. >> Yeah. Okay. So, you're able to see all of them. The Planet Commission one on the top that you see. >> Yeah. >> So, you're seeing all the past ones, too. I'm Okay. only ones. >> Yep. So, the planning commission that says August 7th, you can actually click on that. There's a view on the side. >> And I know, like I said, mine looks different than yours. So, we'll try to work it through a little bit because I know when I did the training with the council, they're like, "Yours looks different than mine." >> Yeah, it does quite a bit. >> Just a little bit. Yeah. So, um when you see the agenda there and like it pulls up the whole agenda, what we did was used a an older planning commission meeting. So, we just pulled it into I legislate so you could see what an agenda would look like. Um, here you can see the whole part of the agenda. You can scroll through it. Um, you can also open up and view each item. So, like 5A, you can open it up. You can see what they're calling for action. Um, any attachments are on there. You can click on that. You can see the attachments. So, if there's a cover page, you can see the whole cover page. >> Blow that up a little bit. >> I'm assuming public comment is for >> that would be part of like when you had an agenda like that's open for when they have open comments for >> that would be added in. So, it would have been past public comment that would be added into view. Okay. >> Yeah. >> And then the it would show you. So, I'm assuming this is for council because it shows what the vote was. >> Are you looking at past ones? What part are you looking at? >> So, like I went into the actual uh like agenda item. So, I went into 6A, right? So, I can see LA, but below it says public comment and so I was clicking on that and it >> right because you can see that >> this is related to how that person felt >> and they can Yeah. And they can actually make their notes on the side and that's what you can see that I can't see. So, >> okay. >> It's interesting up here like I can hit where it says no public comments um if there's if there's not a public comment to the item, but if there is a an item in there where there's a public comment, there would say that they could do a public comment, you can get in there, >> make the notes um during the meeting and whoever you could like put in the name, >> make a comment about what it is >> and then whether they were in support of that or they oppose it. Okay? >> So, you can have that for your own notes. Only you see that. Sure. Okay. >> Um that doesn't go to anyone else. It's for your notes only. So >> if you want to go back later, like maybe when the minutes come out later and you can review it and go, "Oh, yeah, that's right." >> Um that's what that was all about. Um yeah. >> Okay. So public comments is we're not going to see anything in there unless we put something ourselves in. >> Right. if you add to that cuz this is going to be all your >> um notes and you can do things like you can note things. >> Um you can pick an item out and put your notes in down here's like a whole section you can make notes for yourself. So, even before a meeting, when you're reviewing a packet, if you want to do a followup or make sure you ask a question at a meeting, you put that stuff down so that you can save that in there and then you'll have that. So, like, oh yeah, that's right. I wanted to ask about this. Um, so that comes in really handy. Um, also when you're in there, you can do things like booking bookmarking things. So, um, your areas where there's a bookmark. I have mine here, so I can hit that. But when you go back out to where like you're looking at an agenda and you're looking at the whole agenda, you can see now here I bookmarked something. Oh yeah, there's something there that I made a note. I want to go back and follow up on that. So, I tell a lot of people, go ahead, put your notes in there. Add a bookmark. you know, these are things that you're using just for your own personal. Um, they'll come in really handy for that. Um, it's really simple if you start just messing around, you know, going around and using different things in there. And each of you might find a different way that you're going to like to use it for yourself. >> Um, but yeah, it's so it's weird when you first look at it because it looks like, oh, there's really not much there. and you kind of have to open each item and really take a look at what it is, open the attachments. Um, especially with planning stuff because the reports can be so big. >> You're going in there and pulling up, you know, so they still look very much like what they used to, you know, here I've got this pulled up. So then you're going to get >> the report and you can go through that, but then you can still go off to the side and make, >> you know, whatever notes down here that you had for that item and you can >> This is paper that we used to get. >> Yeah. You're going to be able to see everything, all the plans, all those items will come up here. Um, you'll be able to look at everything to be able to blow them up on your screen and pinpoint those areas. I know some people like to see big copies. So, it takes some it takes a little bit of getting used to, I think, you know, for some. But, >> can you make notes on the >> That's what I was It looks like you have to pop out of the attachment to go back to your notes section. >> Yeah, but I bet you can make >> No, I've done I've done I've done some annotations of different things on there. >> So, you can go in >> You can do my little little tools right here. >> Yeah, you've got your little tools in these areas. Now, yours again might look different. >> Enter the author name you want to use for newly inserted >> annotation. I went, >> but that's only for me. I would assume this is where we want >> when we want to annotate. So, we can see all the >> So, we go here, but then it says So, we're just saying done >> and then we can annotate. Do yours look a little >> But I don't want to see anyone else's. I just want to see mine. >> Yeah. You're the only thing you're going to see here though is like notes that you've made yourself. >> Okay. >> Nobody else is >> you aren't doing anything to the packet that somebody else is going to see. >> Got it. >> Um also another item, you know, like some people if you I can see down here like mine is a little different. Like I can create a note and I can go right up here. There must be a big difference between the desk desktop and the iPad. >> So if you can find a creative note so like I have my drawing tool so I can circle things you could strike out things but it's only doing it to your copy. >> So it's it's a little it takes a little bit of playing around. Um, and then if you don't >> if there's an area you don't like what you did, you can hit your clear annotations and it'll take it off. >> Yeah. >> Or save your annotations when you're all done and you want to keep them there. >> Um, but they're different in different places. So, >> I must have closed my little palette over here. >> Button right there for your item details. No, not at all. >> Oh, it's your bookmark. >> Okay. So, now this is just doing annotated ones. So, I appreciate this. It's just >> we have to time and then you can see where you made the notebook. Yeah. So, if you only want to see the one you annotated up or the one you bookmarked, but I still can't figure out how to make a note. >> Specifically on it. >> Yeah. >> The slide profiles. I think it must >> be right here. >> Well, so that's what I thought. >> That's going to be perfect. Hers was a click and drag, but that makes sense. >> Okay. >> Oops. >> And then it go back to my big view and then it'll pull up. Yeah. >> Okay. So then it'll >> Okay, that's fine. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. All right. >> Actually, and then if you go notes, I wonder if it's >> I think those are the ones that are just gone forever. >> That gives you the >> This will be nice from a versioning standpoint. You guys can Did you start advocitating at all? No, >> I did, but then I got rid of those. [Music] >> Can we use >> I do try to use my co-pilot to like synthesize our agendas. >> You want to open it back up to see what comes up or something? >> Not always perfect. have to download the PDF on my work drive and then reference it and it's >> but it does a pretty good job like the web chat does a pretty good job of scouring the program website and our policies and our zones for >> I use it to prepare my comments for these meetings. >> Okay. >> Like tell me about zone RR and why it was >> Yeah. or RSF3 and why it differs from RSF2 and >> Sure. Did you see how >> that's so weird and like set up >> like I thought before but nothing happened. Okay. That's nice. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. And you know what? It's going to take a little bit of playing around with. So, you certainly have this on there for your You can't do anything to hurt it. So, you can do a lot of things in there and you aren't going to hurt. >> Can you enter I legislate on your PC? like on let's just say I have a personal PC. Can I get into that? I legislate. Do they have a web URL? >> Um or is it only an app? >> It is on your app, but I think it wouldn't be any different than what I do. That's >> otherwise I'll just go to a browser and type it in. Let's see what happens. >> I think let's see what's my cuz I'm just thinking if the functionality is different like obviously on the PC. >> Yeah. Yeah. Oh, but you're using an app. >> Yeah, mine is on app on my PC, but it still looks different. >> Yeah, because it's not a mobile device. I would assume this is mobile, right? Different format. >> It's just so weird. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, when I was first setting up training with the council back a few months ago, um that's when we're like finding out like, oh gosh, it looks >> different. So, and I had done a whole like tutorial how to do it. Like >> I recorded it and sent it off to the council and they're like, "Hey, ours doesn't look like that." And I'm like, "Really?" >> So, we tried. I mean, it happens. But >> why would you Okay, there is a download function. I'm just wondering why. Yes. Why that why that exists? If you wanted to download it, say you want to download it >> and have a copy for say your >> personal computer or your files >> or something like that, >> you can download it like here. I have it on my computer. So, obviously it wants me to send it right to my computer. >> Y >> and then you know you can see like what a whole packet would look like. >> Yep. Okay. >> So, um what I could do is do this. Let me save it to my laptop and show you what you get. Basically, you didn't get >> what it used to >> what it used to look like. >> Yeah. >> Okay. The little email thing won't do anything because we don't use too long. >> Does this platform provide any collaboration opportunities between commission and council? >> I think that they're supposed to be public meetings and that's probably why it wouldn't. Okay. >> I think Yeah, I don't think I don't believe that is Yeah, the >> Yeah, that's true. Good point. All right. I didn't think about it. >> I mean, it's basically to make it a little easier for you individually. Um, you know, to prepare for your meetings, be here for your meetings, make your notes. >> Yeah. >> Um, just kind of have everything at your fingertips. >> Well, they're a lot different. >> Yeah. Right. >> Yeah. So, >> what's what's council's reaction been so far? >> You know, I have like since everybody's been in and got up and running, nobody's had any issues with >> logging in or using anything, I always like say, "Give me a call if you run into anything." Nobody has like once come and said, "Deb, I'm really having problems with my legislate or my packet." So, it's worked really well. >> Um, so I'm happy with that. I think you know those first >> you know that first week when everybody would just try to get in >> um obviously I'll get your name changed and reset and then I'll tell you to get back in and use it the right way. >> Okay. >> Um but we'll we can fix that. So >> they might have you might have already covered I didn't hear. Can they use their personal computers to look at this when they're at home? >> Um I couldn't find it on the web. She was looking for a URL to see if she could get I'm not sure if that's going to let them do that >> unless you download the app on your personal device. >> Yeah, >> we'll look into that. >> That might be a question for me to ask too because I'm not sure if there's your computer. >> Like you did have to find it. You had to find the app for the phone, >> right? >> Yeah. So >> maybe >> just cuz you know then they can have you know sometimes it's easier >> like if you're looking at it at home and you're prepping for a meeting and you don't want to do it on your iPad. I I agree. I mean your I legislate account is your I legislate account. So if we can figure that in the >> Yeah. Yeah. And then as far as delivery of packets, it will just automatically be in there by 4 o'lock on the Friday or Thursday before Friday. >> I think the goal is to have it in there by noon on Friday, but four might be a good >> Okay. Give yourself some buff. >> Yeah. >> And we'll look into maybe sending a notification to your personal email as well, just saying, "Hey, this is up. >> Check out, you know, so we're not just But to be we'll let you we got to talk to Natalie but we'll >> right I mean what I'm doing now with council is once we have the packet published it's usually like we do it at the same time it publishes to I legislate and it publishes to the website at the same time >> and then we put an email out to council we say hey mayor and council the council packet is um been published I legislated online and is available for your viewing and then they're aware that it's there, you know, and that's otherwise I mean it one would assume that they would know that it's there, but then at least then they know, hey, it's ready. I go and look >> and it came just like you could just take this and it so that you didn't have to check a separate one if you wanted. >> That's true. >> You could set up an auto forward, too. Then you would just get >> included the training. How did that go? >> That was just >> something that makes a lot of sense. >> Oh, he was just commenting on hitting rifall all if there's a You got to publish it to the public. >> Yeah. And I do want to make I mean this is for your use and it's your notes but um I do want you to know that you know with data practices act if someone ever comes because these are cityowned um >> devices >> devices that if someone ever came and said I want to know everything everybody's got including the planning commission's blah blah blah we would have to ask for your notes. So, I mean, don't put in there so and so is stupid or whatever, you know, like just be mindful. They're your notes and they're your thoughts and that's fine. Um, but >> they are still public data. >> Yeah. >> So, >> because they're recorded. If they were written on a piece of paper, they would not be public data >> and they still could be because, you know, that's where it gets a little bit >> assuming you kept them. assuming you kept them. But that's a little bit. Yes, >> we're getting all the weed >> data data data practices. Just Yeah. >> Yeah. >> We don't have the city attorney here, but yes. >> So, just >> Well, it creates a record in a way that writing it on a piece of paper wouldn't. >> Right. That's Yeah, it's >> it's a digital footprint that can be recovered and therefore >> is different than a note script on a piece of paper. What about a digital notebook? >> I'm not kidding. I used one. >> I could ask for it, I suppose. >> Well, if you do tie in with with I think city business, there is something to be said there. But definitely be aware that since these are your city, you know, I mean, that's part of what's in the the policy here, too, that >> Yeah. >> No, everything is always a bummer approach. I have a I have a son who is, >> you know, uh just entering law, like his undergraduate and then will continue into law school. But his thing is, can you imagine what the political landscape will look like in 20 years when everybody has digital information that can be pulled at any point in time? You can never make a comment out of turn you can never make a note that didn't fit because it could be taken. >> Right. >> Right. But but going back as far as being young, that's what his point is. That's the land he's looking at. So that's that's all. We're a little hyper sensitive in our household. >> We like to keep our thoughts in private journals. >> Oh, and then I just wanted to you can also see um >> afterwards when there is like a a meeting and the meeting is posted and we have the because we'll start Brandonus also records our live feeds in our meetings. >> Yeah. >> You can go back afterwards and view a meeting. >> That's nice. >> And we have them in there with time stamps. That's really nice. >> All righty. I'll go ahead and call the meeting to order. Start with a roll call in the key here. Lantern >> here. >> Friedrich >> present. >> Veronamp >> here. >> Nicholls >> also present. >> Perfect. To stand and join me in the pledge of >> allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America to the republic for it stands. >> Talking about Elm Creek wershed. I just want to jump >> today from the Hill partnership. >> Um not before but with Granus now when we're doing our meeting are going to learn and they're part of the training as well. They're during the meeting and it's recording they can hear what certain things are being discussed at the meeting. So when the recording is happening it ties it to that. So later when you go back to allies they've done that with this. >> Yeah. >> So this is what I'm doing business which is draft 545 regulating pedlers solicitors and transient purchase. So you guys will really I think appreciate that because I was trying to go. >> Uh so it's going to be it's going to take me a minute cuz we don't have it dropped into the folder. So whatever >> hot live granus. No no it's >> this is good. We're >> just different on the website. >> That's what I was going to say. you're viewing it on the city. >> All the other things like the presentations aren't loaded into Graticus. And so this is download. >> Let me show you. >> And then really quick while I'm pulling it up, it looks like it just keeps three years worth of um is that is that going to be standard? Is it >> three years worth of record? >> Three years worth of recordings. Yeah. [Music] >> But we would Yeah. I don't think they got back because we only want to keep them back as far as what we have to >> just recently. >> Yeah, sure. >> But if you look at like Pierce Council right now eventually the page for planning commission when you get to your meetings agendas and packets >> are going to start looking like this down here and you're going to see your upcoming meeting. >> So it is page 673 in your packet. I'm trying to make it look a little different. >> Um, so we're working on that with communications. >> Thanks for your patience. >> And when those meetings start dropping in, but if you go back to a past, >> you can see here now the agendas, the videos, the minutes start dropping in. >> Well, we maybe we could start council have any areas in it. >> This is what you get. I will go ahead. Uh we'll start with a roll call here. >> Here is why we there stand and join me in the pledge of >> allegiance attorney to the flag of the United States of America. >> To the republic for which it stands. This is we're using granicus for the first time. So how it dumps into there. I appreciate that. Thank you. This is >> that was >> uh as we're learning how to leverage the system. >> You can be old enough. That was like a >> Yeah, but eventually you'll go ahead. >> This will screw down. >> Call the meeting to order. >> Uh we'll start with a roll call. The key here >> is like to stand and join me in the pledge of allegiance. While we're waiting, I have a question to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. >> The current signage that suggested reads all >> we don't list out doortodoor I think was one of the other >> agenda approval. Uh you saw we had items. >> Is it possible that we can have someone with a sign that says no solicitors? Is that adequate to allow for a resolution? Does it need to include multiple different categories of people? >> Anything council? >> I will entertain a motion to approve the agenda as amended. >> I'll make a motion to approve here. >> Second. >> Second. >> I think that was very >> whatever you want to do. >> All those in favor say I. >> All righty. Uh, no presentations today. on to open forum and Jay will walk us through for items that are not on tonight. >> Yes. So, anybody who's here uh if they have something they'd like to speak on that's not on the agenda, please step up to the microphone. Uh I have one card. Uh please address it to the council. The council will not engage at the time. They will listen and consider for future action and uh you have five minutes if you have any other questions. I have one card, Mr. Mayor, Mr. J. >> Right. But basically graticus is the the I you know that's the I legislate piece is the is is the granus for you guys >> and then will be held >> my name address for the name and address name is J >> so 999 pine lane >> that's in corporate Minnesota >> it'll be it'll be from the main page they will see it >> or eventually um President passed a policy in 2025 requiring builders to complete escro work within six days of closing causing major issues with homeowners that close their homes in 2024. So um >> the result is working homes built homes built in 2024 are not being completed in a timely manner. >> When they get on here's new 60-day policy allowing to delay escort work on homes built in 2024. >> Currently there are 13 homes just that fall into this pre 2025 policy. working. >> There's no incentive for py to complete work and forms that closed in 2024. >> We get emails updates from time to time and push back the timeline for completed. >> Today we received an email pushing back again escort work some days by homes and closed work done in the rain. >> It doesn't call it.

I know right now they're building so they're telling me that homes that closed in last week got have done within six days home last week already got the cloud already got the sign >> next door house was last year yep I hear you >> so we're asking for some help either by postponing the policy for them so they get caught up 2024 >> or um >> worst case scenario maybe just let them get caught up they're building houses so That's definitely a >> Okay. All right. No worries. [Music] >> They just we'll ask and then we'll uh email that out. >> There is uh no one coming in there looking at the yards and is no one. We're out there by ourselves. >> Yeah. probably don't want to say something you get your package and something happens with this you would just replace to log in on that and then >> you would always say >> and before the meeting it's not like you've lost your access to the >> packet yeah if I can get your email address and and uh for council's awareness we're aware of the Part of the reason the policy came into the scene that's platform >> unfortunately [Music] it would affect your outlook. >> So we'll look at what we can do to help.
