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

00:17:36.601 --> 00:17:37.466

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

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

00:34:56.939 --> 00:34:58.106

Any abstentions. Is there an extension? All right. So we

00:34:58.108 --> 00:35:00.841

have, uh, 6 eyes and 1 abstention from council member

00:35:01.978 --> 00:35:05.980

abstention from council member Tran. Uh, so motion passes. um,

00:35:05.982 --> 00:35:06.714

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

possible will try to reach out to the resident who live in

00:55:14.322 --> 00:55:15.522

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

00:56:29.731 --> 00:56:32.198

reaffirmed in the, in, included as an attachment to the city's 00:56:32.200 --> 00:56:33.066

as an attachment to the city's latest comprehensive plan as

Brooklyn Park. been aware of this for quite some time. Thank

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

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

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

this is about our security. Everybody's security, your

01:18:03.257 --> 01:18:04.623

Everybody's security, your security, our kids. So bring

01:18:04.625 --> 01:18:06.291

security, our kids. So bring them in the hall. Perhaps

01:18:06.293 --> 01:18:08.860

them in the hall. Perhaps you'll hear the best of ideas.

01:18:08.862 --> 01:18:11.163

you'll hear the best of ideas. The best of ideas, and if you 01:18:11.165 --> 01:18:12.831

The best of ideas, and if you already have those ideas, their

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

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

Robert's rules when we're having these conversations, and

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

01:43:05.725 --> 01:43:08.525

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

um, and I appreciate the fact that the council prior to me

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

01:43:34.486 --> 01:43:35.585

and then I, uh, Uh, at least on our end, I don't see any other

01:43:52.704 --> 01:43:53.637

our end, I don't see any other comments. We can go ahead and

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
