          GOOD MORNING. 
          WELCOME EVERYONE TO OUR CITY COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION. 
          UH, WE HAVE A LONG DAY TODAY, UH, AND WE'VE GOT SEVERAL ITEMS, SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS THAT WILL BE BRIEFED ON TIME IS 10:16 AM GO AHEAD AND GET OUR MEETING UNDERWAY. 
          MOVE NOW TO OUR CITY MANAGER TO, UH, BRING UP OUR DEPARTMENTS. 
          MORNING MAYOR AND COUNSEL. 
          UH, SO THIS MORNING'S WORK SESSION. 
          UH, WE'LL START OFF WITH CHIEF MCMANUS AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET, FOLLOWED BY CHIEF HOOD IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
          AND THEN, UH, JUDGE BULL AND FRED GARCIA ARE HERE FOR OUR THIRD PRESENTATION, MUNICIPAL COURTS. 
          THANK YOU, CHIEF. 
          THANK, GOOD MORNING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, I GAVE YOU ALL, UH, TWO PAMPHLETS TO REVIEW AT YOUR LEISURE. 
          UH, THOSE PAMPHLETS ARE, UH, THE WORK PRODUCT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, UH, WHO, WHICH IDENTIFIED US, WHICH IDENTIFIED US AS, UH, ONE OF THE TOP 15 POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE NATION A FEW YEARS BACK. 
          UH, IT'S TAKEN THEM THIS LONG TO, TO PROVIDE US WITH THOSE DOCUMENTS. 
          UH, THE, THE, UH, UH, IDEA BEHIND WHAT D O J WAS DOING WAS TO, UH, AGAIN, IDENTIFY THE TOP 15 POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTRY AND THEN REFER TO US OR USE US AS MODELS FOR OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. 
          AND SINCE THEN, UH, WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENTS CALL US AND VISIT US, ASKING FOR DIRECTION AND, UH, EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE THAT THEY COULD IMPLEMENT. 
          SO, UH, THAT'S WHAT THOSE PAMPHLETS ARE ABOUT. 
          UH, THE FIRST SLIDE HERE IS A, IS KIND OF A BIG PICTURE, A SIMPLE, BUT A BIG PICTURE OF, UH, A BIG CITY AND A BIG POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO THAT POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          UH, 1.5 MILLION RESIDENTS, 24 63 SWORN POSITIONS, OVER 2 MILLION CALLS FOR SERVICE. 
          AND 1800 COMMUNITY EVENTS GO INTO WHAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          UH, WE HAVE OVER A THOUSAND POLICE OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO PATROL. 
          UH, WE HAVE OVER A MILLION EMERGENCY CALLS FOR SERVICE EVERY YEAR, AND WE HAVE OVER 800,000 NON-EMERGENCY CALLS FOR SERVICE. 
          UH, WE HAVE A 3.5% INCREASE THUS FAR THIS YEAR IN OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE, THE COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT WE ATTEND, UH, OR, OR OF A VARIETY OF, OF TYPES, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, CITY COUNCIL EVENTS, VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS, UH, MEETINGS WITH AGENCY AND AGENCIES AND BUSINESSES, SPECIAL PROJECTS. 
          THEY ALL GO INTO THAT 1800 COMMUNITY EVENTS A YEAR. 
          SO THE, THE, THE TOP SENTENCE HERE ON THIS SLIDE IS A LITTLE SNIPPET FROM OUR MISSION STATEMENT. 
          AND OUR MISSION STATEMENT TALKS ABOUT WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY, 
          [00:05:01]
UH, UH, TO HELP PROVIDE FOR A SAFER SAN ANTONIO. 
          UM, THESE ARE OUR THREE CORE OR THREE PRIMARY AREAS WORKING WITH NEIGHBORHOODS, SCHOOLS AND BUSINESSES, UH, NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          WE HAVE, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF, UH, DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY, AND I TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THEM. 
          SAFE, C O P, OUR CITIZENS, UH, POLICE ACADEMY, UH, QUARTERLY COMMUNITY UPDATES, PUBLIC SAFETY ROUNDTABLES, WHICH WE JUST STARTED THIS YEAR, UH, ACTUALLY LAST COUPLE, WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. 
          UH, WITH OUR SCHOOLS, THERE'S LOTS OF FOCUS ON A VARIETY OF SCHOOL PROGRAMS. FOR EXAMPLE, UH, WE DO A SUCCESS THROUGH RESPECT PROGRAM. 
          WE DO A HANDLE WITH CARE PROGRAM. 
          UH, WE JUST STARTED THAT LAST YEAR. 
          UH, WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH REGION 20 AND BUSINESSES. 
          UH, THE MOST RECENT THING THAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR BUSINESSES THIS YEAR. 
          UH, WE HAVE A MEETING COMING UP, UH, AUGUST 28TH WITH A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES, UH, UH, CONNECTED WITH THE CHAMBER, UH, THAT'S GONNA TAKE PLACE AT THE CONVENTION CENTER. 
          AND WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT ACTIVE SHOOTING, ACTIVE SHOOTERS. 
          WE HAVE OUR BAT NET MEETING THAT TAKES PLACE EVERY MONTH. 
          IT'S, IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS. 
          UH, WE HAVE A CHIEF'S ADVISORY GROUP THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT. 
          IT'S REPRESENTATIVES FROM, UH, EACH ONE OF YOUR COUNCIL DISTRICTS. 
          UH, THEY COME IN AND THEY, THEY TALK WITH US ON, UH, WE TALK WITH THEM ON ISSUES THAT, UH, WE'D LIKE THEM TO GET OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          UH, WE WILL BE DOING A STRATEGIC PLAN LATER ON THIS YEAR. 
          I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A, ABOUT THAT IN A LITTLE BIT. 
          AND THAT COMMUNITY, UH, THAT ADVISORY GROUP IS GOING TO BE THE CORE OF, UH, WHAT COMES OUT IN THAT STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          SO OUR PERFORMANCE METRICS, THESE NUMBERS SHOW THE WORKLOAD THAT SSS A P D HANDLES EVERY DAY. 
          UH, MOST OF THESE NUMBERS ARE ALL POSITIVE. 
          UH, THE COMMUNICATIONS, GRADE OF SERVICE, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT IS, UH, UH, WE LIKE TO HAVE 90% OF THE CALLS ANSWERED WITHIN, UH, 10 SECONDS OR LESS. 
          UH, OUR GRADE OF SERVICE IN THOSE AREAS FOR 2017 WAS 92%, 20 18, 90 8%, AND IT STAYED STRONG AND STEADY. 
          UH, UP TO TODAY, UH, OUR NON-EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES ARE, ARE LOOKING GOOD. 
          UH, EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES ARE, ARE VERY GOOD. 
          SIX MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS IS OUR ESTIMATE. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          YEAH. 
          SIX MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS. 
          UH, OUR TARGET HAS BEEN, UH, SIX MINUTES. 
          OUR TARGET IS SIX MINUTE, OR I'M SORRY, SIX MINUTES AND 45 SECONDS. 
          UM, CALLS FOR SERVICE AGAIN, IT, THEY CONTINUE TO INCREASE, UH, EVERY YEAR SIX PAGE HERE AGAIN, UH, LOOK AT THE INCREASING WORKLOAD, UH, ACROSS THE BOARD FROM 2016 WHEN THE, WHEN THE VIOLENT CRIME TASK FORCE WAS, WAS IMPLEMENTED OR INSTITUTED. 
          UH, AND LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THAT THE TASK FORCE CONTINUES TO PRODUCE. 
          UH, EACH YEAR, THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING UP. 
          UH, THE ONLY DECREASE WE'VE HAD IS IN WEAPONS SEIZED, UH, THIS, THIS YEAR, UH, YEAR TO DATE. 
          BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS, UH, IS UP. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S DIFFICULT FROM, UH, WEEK TO WEEK, MONTH TO MONTH, YEAR TO YEAR TO KEEP, UH, TO KEEP BEATING YOUR OLD, YOUR OLD NUMBERS. 
          AND THESE, THESE, UH, THE DETECTIVES AND THE OFFICERS IN THIS UNIT, UH, HAVE DONE THAT CONSISTENTLY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM. 
          FOR PART ONE OFFENSES, THE TREND LINE CONTINUES TO BE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, WHICH IS DOWN. 
          UH, PART ONE, OFFENSES ARE YOUR MURDER. 
          THESE ARE THE NU, THESE ARE THE, THE OFFENSES THAT WE REPORT TO THE F B I, UH, EVERY YEAR. 
          AND THEY ARE MURDER, ROBBERY, RAPE, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, UH, BURGLARY THEFT, VEHICLE THEFT, AND ARSON ARE THE NUMBERS THAT WE REPORT TO THE F B I. 
          AND THEY'RE REFERRED TO AS PART ONE OFFENSES OR UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING OFFENSES. 
          AND AGAIN, THOSE NUMBERS ARE, UH, THE TREND LINE IS HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          THIS PAGE IS RIGHT OFF OF THE FBI'S UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PAGE, OR THEIR WEBSITE. 
          AND THAT VERY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT VERY WELL ON THE SCREEN, BUT THE VERY LAST CITY ON THE RIGHT OF THE GRAPH IS SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND THIS, THIS, THESE, UH, THIS CHART IS NOT TO BE USED AS A COMPARISON TO SAY THAT THE KANSAS CITY, I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST ST. 
          LOUIS IS THE FIRST CITY THERE. 
          THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT ST. 
          LOUIS IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANY OTHER CITY. 
          MOVING DOWN TO THE RIGHT, UM, IT'S JUST A REFERENCE. 
          UH, CRIMES VIOLENT CRIME PER A HUNDRED THOUSAND AS REPORTED TO 
          [00:10:01]
THE UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING DATABASE. 
          AND SAME THING FOR PROPERTY CRIMES. 
          THIS IS A PA UH, A, UH, SLIDE RIGHT OFF OF THEIR WEBPAGE. 
          AND AS YOU CAN SEE, SAN ANTONIO, UH, COMES IN AROUND NUMBER 13. 
          AGAIN, IT'S NOT COMPARING CITY TO CITY AS TO HOW SAFE IT IS. 
          IT'S SIMPLY A REFERENCE TO SHOW YOU HOW MANY CRIMES PER HUNDRED THOUSAND POPULATION WE'RE COMMITTED IN 2017. 
          BUT IF YOU DIG DOWN INTO THESE NUMBERS, YOU WOULD SEE THAT THE MOST COMMON OFFENSE, PROPERTY CRIME OFFENSE IN SAN ANTONIO IS THEFT. 
          SO IF SOMEBODY STEALS A, A, A, A LAWN TOOL OUT OF YOUR FRONT YARD, THAT'S A THEFT. 
          THAT'S A STA A STATISTIC THAT GOES AGAINST OUR U C R NUMBERS. 
          UH, IF SOMEBODY STEALS A PLANT OFF OF YOUR PORCH, THAT'S A THEFT. 
          THAT'S A STA STATISTIC THAT GOES AGAINST OUR NUMBERS. 
          IF SOMEBODY SHOPLIFTS, SAME THING. 
          THOSE NUMBERS ARE REPORTED AND THEY GO TO THE F B I EVERY YEAR FOR INCLUSION IN THIS DATABASE. 
          UH, IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, THE POLICE GENERAL DEPARTMENT GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS INCREASING BY $23 MILLION. 
          UH, THE DRIVING FACTORS BEHIND THAT INCREASE ARE $10 MILLION ADDED TO PERSONNEL COSTS FROM FILLING UNIFORM POSITIONS. 
          UH, THIS FISCAL YEAR, 152 CADETS WILL GRADUATE, AND NEXT YEAR WE PROJECT APPROXIMATELY 200 GRADUATES, $11 MILLION FOR THE C B A INCREASES RELATED TO A 3% PAY INCREASE, CLOTHING ALLOWANCES AND RETIREE PRE-FUND HEALTH PRE-FUND. 
          THIS PICTURE'S FROM A COMMUNITY MEETING, COUNCILWOMAN, UH, SULLIVAN, YOU REMEMBER THIS ONE. 
          THIS MEETING IS FROM A, UH, THIS PICTURE'S FROM A MEETING THAT WE HAD IN D TWO, UH, WITH THE COUNCILWOMAN TWO SATURDAYS AGO. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS PART OF THE CHIEF'S ROUND TABLE SERIES. 
          EACH, EACH WEEK, UH, AS WE CAN SCHEDULE THEM, WE GO TO, UH, DIFFERENT COUNCIL DISTRICTS. 
          AND ONE WILL BE COMING TO YOURS SOMETIME SOON, IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD IT YET. 
          UH, AND WE TALK ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY. 
          WE TALK ABOUT IT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION LEADERS. 
          UH, UH, THIS, THIS SLIDE IS ALL ABOUT EQUITY AND EMBEDDING EQUITY IN SS A P D AND EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. 
          UH, WE STRIVE FOR INCLUSION, EVERYTHING FROM TRAINING TO OUR PROGRAMS, TO OUR RECRUITING, TO OUR, UH, ADVERTISING FOR RECRUITING. 
          UM, WE HAVE WOMEN IN POLICING EVENTS STRICTLY TAILORED FOR, TO RECRUIT WOMEN, UH, CADETS. 
          UH, WE STREAM, WE'VE STREAMLINED THE APPLICATION PROCESS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR APPLICANTS TO GET ON BOARD. 
          UH, AND WE'VE TARGETED, UH, WE HAVE A TARGETED ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AS WELL. 
          AND THAT, THAT TARGETED ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AND RECRUITING CAMPAIGN TAKES US TO MILITARY BASES AND COLLEGES, AND EVEN HIGH SCHOOLS. 
          UH, OUR NEXT SLIDE WE'RE, UH, AGAIN, YOU HAVE THOSE HANDOUTS IN FRONT OF YOU THAT I PROVIDED, UH, FROM THE D O J IN IN 2016. 
          UH, SS A P D WAS THE LARGEST OF THE 15 DEPARTMENTS, UH, IN THE 21ST CENTURY POLICING INITIATIVE, IDENTIFYING 15, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT WERE TO BE, UH, UM, UM, UM, REPLICATED OR, OR IMITATED BY OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS. 
          UM, THE THREE AREAS THAT D O J LOOKED AT WERE MENTAL HEALTH, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND OFFICER TRAINING AND WELLNESS. 
          AND AGAIN, A COPY OF THAT REPORT IS IN FRONT OF YOU FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE. 
          UH, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN CONTACTED BY A NUMBER OF POLICE OFFICER OR POLICE AGENCIES. 
          UH, AFTER THAT REPORT HAS BEEN, WAS PUT OUT, OUR MENTAL HEALTH UNIT HAS DONE WORK THAT HAS BEEN WIDELY RECOGNIZED, NOT ONLY IN THE COUNTRY, BUT AROUND THE WORLD. 
          UM, THAT UNIT WAS CREATED IN 2008. 
          WE HAD TWO OFFICERS AND ONE SERGEANT. 
          AND FROM THEN IT'S GROWN TO ONE SERGEANT, 10 OFFICERS AND TWO DETECTIVES. 
          AND, UH, THE MENTAL HEALTH UNIT, OR M H U, THEY WORK WITH THE HAVEN FOR HOPE. 
          THEY WORK WITH THE EMBASSY FOR HOPE OR OF HOPE, AND THEY WORK WITH THE SALVATION ARMY ON DECEMBER 10TH, IN 20, ON IN 2016, THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN THE BOSTON GLOBE, AND THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE WAS THE SAN ANTONIO WAY, HOW ONE TEXAS CITY TOOK ON MENTAL HEALTH AS A COMMUNITY AND BECAME A NATIONAL MODEL. 
          A, B, C NEWS FEATURED A STORY ON OUR MENTAL HEALTH UNIT. 
          UH, AND MOST RECENTLY, 
          [00:15:01]
TWO OFFICERS FROM THE MENTAL HEALTH UNIT WERE FEATURED IN THE SAN ANTONIO FILM FESTIVAL. 
          AND I THINK YOU CAN, YOU CAN SEE THAT FILM ON YOUTUBE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. 
          BUT THEY'VE DONE GREAT WORK. 
          AND WE'VE, WE'VE RECEIVED NATIONAL AWARDS FROM NAMI, UH, BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT THIS, UH, THAT WE'VE DONE AS A DEPARTMENT AND AS A CITY. 
          UH, ALONG THE LINES OF MENTAL HEALTH, UM, WE HAVE 112 SAFE UNITS OR SAFE OFFICERS AROUND THE CITY. 
          UM, I, I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY THE OTHER NIGHT, WHAT DO SAFE OFFICERS DO? WHICH WAS KIND OF SURPRISING TO ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT EVERYBODY KNEW WHAT SAFE DOES. 
          THEY DON'T ANSWER CALLS FOR SERVICE. 
          THEY DON'T INVESTIGATE CRIMES. 
          BUT WHAT THEY DO IS THEY ADDRESS, UH, QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES IN NEIGHBORHOODS OR ISSUES THAT DETRACT AND BRING DOWN THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN NEIGHBORHOODS IF NOT ADDRESSED. 
          AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT SOME OF THE, THE, THE, UH, ISSUES THAT THEY ADDRESS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS. 
          UH, AND, AND ONCE THE SAFE OFFICERS GOT INVOLVED, THEY WERE ABLE TO, UM, TO, UH, ELIMINATE THOSE THINGS AND ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          AND, AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN YOU HAVE A DEPARTMENT THAT CONNECTS WITH THE CITY, AND PEOPLE FEEL THAT AS THOUGH THEY HAVE A CONNECTION, THEY CAN REACH OUT AND TOUCH THEIR OFFICERS AS THEY CAN WITH THE SAFE OFFICERS, THAT MAKES THEM FEEL SAFER, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY NOT BE IN OTHER CITIES, BUT THEY MAY, IT JUST MAKES THEM FEEL SAFER AS STUDIES HAVE SHOWN, SHOW THE VIDEO, JEFF FRANK. 
          WE HAVE A VIDEO HERE. 
          UH, ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES, UH, THIS YEAR IS, UH, FAMILY VIOLENCE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. 
          AND, UM, WE PUT TOGETHER A NUMBER OF VIDEOS THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT. 
          I THINK ONE OR TWO AT LEAST HAVE ALREADY GONE OUT. 
          WE HAVE THEM IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, AND WE'RE GONNA ROLL ONE OF THEM FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. 
          I THINK DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS AN ALARMING AND PERVASIVE PROBLEM IN OUR COUNTRY. 
          DESPITE ITS PREVALENCE, THE PATTERNS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARE NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD, AND MANY VICTIMS STRUGGLE WITH MAKING THE OUTCRY. 
          OFTENTIMES, VICTIMS FEEL HELPLESS AND LOST ABOUT WHAT TO DO. 
          IF YOU ARE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP OR HAVE BECOME THE VICTIM OF STALKING SEXUAL ABUSE OR TRAFFICKING, PLEASE TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO GET HELP BY APPLYING FOR A PROTECTIVE ORDER TO KEEP YOUR ABUSER AWAY FROM YOU. 
          WALKING DOWN THESE STREETS, I SAW NOTHING BUT FIREFIGHTERS AND AMBULANCE AND POLICE CARS, AND JUST THE FEELING OF KNOWING THAT SOMEONE THAT WAS SO IMPACTFUL IN MY LIFE WAS NO LONGER HERE. 
          HELLO, MY NAME IS MARISSA RIO, AND I AM A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVOR. 
          ON DECEMBER 27TH, 2017, MY MOTHER WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY HER BOYFRIEND JUST BEFORE HE TURNED THE GUN ON HIMSELF. 
          THE EVENTS OF THAT DAY WILL AFFECT THE LIVES OF MY THREE YOUNGER SIBLINGS AND I FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. 
          MY NAME IS FELIX GONZALEZ, AND I AM 41 YEARS OLD. 
          IN 2015, UH, MY PARTNER AND I GOT INTO A ARGUMENT AND I HAD STRUCK HER, TAKE OFF YOUR PRIDE MASS, TAKE OFF YOUR PRIDE CAP, AND LOOK AT THE PEOPLE, AND LOOK AT ALL THE TEARS THAT YOU CAUSE OTHER PEOPLE. 
          IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE CAUSING OTHER PEOPLE PAIN, YOU'RE CAUSING SO MUCH PAIN TO YOURSELF THAT IT JUST HASN'T CAUGHT UP WITH YOU YET. 
          VIOLENCE USUALLY IS ALL ABOUT POWER AND CONTROL. 
          AND SO, AND MANIPULATION ANY RELATIONSHIP, YOU'RE GOING TO DISAGREE. 
          BUT JUST BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE DOESN'T MEAN THAT THAT PERSON SHOULD ASSAULT YOU. 
          MY MESSAGE IS THAT THERE IS HOPE AND THERE IS, UM, THE ABILITY TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION. 
          AND IT MAY SEEM, UM, DAUNTING. 
          IT CAN BE VERY SCARY. 
          AND, UH, I HEAR A LOT OF VICTIMS WHO FEEL LIKE, WELL, I HAVE TO LEAVE MY STUFF AND I HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOME. 
          AND I, WHICH IS, IT'S NOT FAIR, AND IT'S SCARY. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE YOUR THINGS AND THESE ARE YOUR POSSESSIONS, BUT NOTHING IS 
          [00:20:01]
MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR LIFE. 
          THE BEXAR COUNTY FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER IS LIKE WHAT WE CALL OUR ONE STOP SHOP BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS HOUSED HERE. 
          THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SERVICES THAT WE OFFER ARE PROTECTIVE ORDERS, COUNSELING FOR BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN. 
          MY JOB IS TO HELP, UH, THESE VICTIMS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE REGARDLESS WHETHER THEY'RE MALE, FEMALE CHILDREN. 
          IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE THAT YOU KNOW NEEDS HELP, JUST THE FIRST STEP IS TO REACH OUT TO US, TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND, UH, WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU. 
          HELLO, I'M CHIEF WAYNE MCMANUS OF THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          WE KNOW THAT IT CAN BE HARD TO RECOGNIZE AND ADMIT THAT YOU'RE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, BUT HELP IS AVAILABLE AND HERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU NEED IT. 
          ONE PHONE CALL CAN BE LIFE-CHANGING AND CAN BE THE BEGINNING TO A SAFER FUTURE. 
          THERE IS A SPANISH VERSION TO TO THIS, BUT IT DIDN'T GET LOADED UP FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          BUT THERE IS A, THERE IS A SPANISH VERSION TO THIS. 
          LET, LET ME MOVE ON WHILE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET UP THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO, ON THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT 2020 IMPROVEMENTS AND, UH, PUTTING OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH IS. 
          UH, WE ARE ASKING FOR SIX. 
          WE NEW C R T SERGEANTS, CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM SERGEANTS. 
          UH, IF, IF I COULD JUST BACKTRACK A LITTLE BIT, WE REPLACED, UH, OUR C R T OFFICERS IN EACH OF THE SUBSTATIONS WITH DETECTIVES, CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM DETECTIVES. 
          SO THE REASON BEING THAT AN OFFICER CAN ONLY TAKE A CASE SO FAR, AND THEN IT HAS TO BE TURNED OVER TO A DETECTIVE. 
          SO IN ORDER TO GET, UM, TO WHERE WE CAN HAVE A THE SAME PERSON STARTING IT AND FINISHING THE INVESTIGATION, WE'VE REPLACED THE OFFICERS WITH DETECTIVES. 
          SO, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A, UH, BETTER SUPERVISION AND MORE CLOSELY MONITORING THE WORK THAT THE C R T DETECTIVES ARE DOING IN THE SUBSTATIONS. 
          WE ARE BRINGING ON SIX NEW SERGEANTS TO OVERSEE THAT THE 10 NEW SAFE OFFICERS WILL WORK WITH C R T EXCLUSIVELY. 
          WHEN, WHENEVER A CIVILIAN C R T WORKER HAS TO GO TO A RESIDENCE, IT CAN BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE PERPETRATOR IS THERE OR IF HE'S GONNA COME BACK WHILE YOU'RE THERE. 
          SO THE OFFICERS WILL ACCOMPANY THEM. 
          THE OFFICERS WILL ALSO DO OUTREACH, UH, AND EDUCATION ON, UH, ON FAMILY VIOLENCE, UH, SERVICES AND, UH, UM, AVAILABILITY OF, OF THOSE SERVICES. 
          THE, UH, 11,000 FAMILY VIOLENCE CASES THAT YOU SEE ON THE SLIDE, THEY ARE PRIMARILY HANDLED BY THE C R T DETECTIVES IN THE SUBSTATIONS. 
          MOST OF THOSE ARE MISDEMEANORS, BUT THERE ARE THREE UNITS THAT HANDLE THOSE 11,000 CASES. 
          AND THAT IS C R T, THAT'S YOUR SPECIAL VICTIM'S UNIT AND THE HOMICIDE UNIT AS WELL. 
          THIS IS A DENSITY MAP OR A HEAT MAP OF THE VIOLENT CRIME IN THE CITY. 
          AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU'LL SEE LITTLE CIRCLES SURROUNDING SOME OF THOSE AREAS. 
          AND THOSE ARE THE AREAS THAT ARE MOST HEAVILY, UH, UH, POPULATED WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENSES. 
          SO, SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE DONE ALREADY AND PLAN ON DOING WITH, UH, WITH, UH, FAMILY VIOLENCE INTERVENTION IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THINGS. 
          AND IT, AND IT KINDA LINES UP WITH WHAT WE DID BACK IN 2007 WHEN WE USED TO, IF THERE WAS A FAMILY VIOLENCE OFFENSE, WE USED TO WALK THE, WE USED TO FILE THE CASE AT LARGE WITH THE DA, WHICH MEANS THAT WE, THERE WAS AN ASSAULT, WE'D TAKE THE REPORT AND WALK IT OVER AND HAND IT TO THE DA, AND THE DA'S OFFICE WOULD, WOULD DO WHATEVER THEY DO WITH IT, BUT IT WOULD TAKE WEEKS AND SOMETIMES MONTHS BEFORE THERE WAS ANY ACTION ON THAT CASE. 
          SO, WHAT WE DO NOW IS, AND THIS STARTED BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2007, IF THERE'S AN OFFENSE AND THERE'S PROBABLE CAUSE TO ARREST, WE DON'T FILE THE CASE AT LARGE. 
          WE WALK A WARRANT 
          [00:25:01]
FOR THE PERPETRATOR, AND WE, WE WILL LOOK FOR THAT PERPETRATOR, UH, ONCE LEAVING THE SCENE UNTIL WE'VE RUN OUT OF LEADS AS TO WHERE THAT PERSON MIGHT BE. 
          SO WE'VE, UH, WE'VE KIND OF UPPED THE ANTE. 
          IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE COMMITTED AN ACT OF, UH, FAMILY VIOLENCE, UH, WE'RE GOING TO ARREST YOU ON THE SCENE. 
          WE'RE GONNA GET A WARRANT FOR YOU RIGHT AWAY, AND WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY GO OUT AND LOOK FOR YOU UNTIL WE RUN OUTTA PLACES TO LOOK FOR YOU. 
          AND, AND WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS ANYTIME AN OFFICER MAKES AN ARREST FOR FAMILY VIOLENCE, AND WE JUST STARTED THIS, WE WILL ASK THE MAGISTRATE AT MAGISTRATE FOR AN EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDER. 
          AND JUDGE BOW, AND I SPOKE BRIEFLY ABOUT THAT JUST THE OTHER DAY, BUT IF I, IF I ARREST SOMEONE, I'M NOT LEAVING THE MAGS OFFICE FOR FAMILY VI, I'M NOT LEAVING THE MAGS OFFICE WITHOUT AN EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDER BEING ISSUED. 
          SO, AND THAT'S, THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENT TO WHAT WE DO. 
          UM, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH THAT WILL COME WITH THE NEW C R T, UM, I'M SORRY, THE NEW, UH, SAFE OFFICERS AND THE HANDLE WITH CARE PROGRAM, THAT'S THE PROGRAM THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER WHERE WE GO TO THE, UH, THE SCHOOLS AND, UH, WE GO TO THE SCHOOLS. 
          WE, WHEN A, WHEN A CHILD HAS BEEN IN A HOUSEHOLD WHERE THERE'S DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR THEY'VE WITNESSED SOME TYPE OF, OF, UH, UH, CATASTROPHIC EVENT, UH, THEN WE WILL EMAIL THE SCHOOL AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THE CHILD WAS INVOLVED IN SOMETHING. 
          WE DON'T TELL THEM WHAT IT WAS, JUST SO THAT THEY KNOW IF THEY SEE A BEHAVIORAL CHANGE IN THAT CHILD, THEY'LL UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT THE CHILD IS GOING THROUGH SOME ISSUES, UH, BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY'VE WITNESSED. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT THE HANDLE WITH CARE PROGRAM DOES. 
          UM, THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF AREAS WITHIN THE CITY THAT HAVE GROWN, UH, DRAMATICALLY IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. 
          UH, I CALL THEM ENTERTAINMENT ZONES, NEIGHBORHOOD ENTERTAINMENT ZONES. 
          MOST OF THESE ZONES ARE SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          AND THE EFFECTS OF THESE ZONES ON THESE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS IS LOUD NOISE, UH, CROWDED PARKING ON THE STREETS. 
          WHEN THE BARS CLOSE, YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE BREAKING OUTTA THE BARS AND THEY'RE USING THEIR FRONT YARDS FOR BATHROOMS AND LITTERING THEIR, UH, THEIR SIDEWALKS WITH TRASH. 
          UH, SO WHEN WE GET ENOUGH, WHEN WE GOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS, YOU GO UP THERE AND WE TAKE CARE OF IT. 
          AND THEN, BUT WE'D HAVE TO PULL RESOURCES SOME FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE TO DO THAT. 
          SO NOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A DEDICATED, UH, RESOURCE TO HANDLE THESE, UH, ENTERTAINMENT ZONE AREAS, UH, DURING THEIR PEAK HOURS DURING THE WEEK, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO ADDRESS IT, PULL BACK AND ADDRESS IT AGAIN AND PULL BACK. 
          THEY'LL BE ADDRESSED CONSISTENTLY, UH, THROUGH THE WEEK. 
          AND THAT ACTUALLY IS GONNA START THIS WEEK. 
          AND COUNCILWOMAN, WE GOT MILITARY DRIVE LISTED ON THERE, UH, TECHN TECHNOLOGICAL UPGRADES, UH, IN FY 2020 BUDGET, UH, 2.1 MILLION FOR, UH, UH, PATROL FLEET UPGRADES. 
          WE'VE GOT WINDOWS 10 EQUIPPED LAPTOPS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WHERE WE'VE GOT DUAL ROUTERS TO INCREASE CONNECTIVITY AND WIRELESS CAPABILITY. 
          A F R AND R M F UPGRADES. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT COMPANIES RIGHT NOW. 
          UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT STATION SUBSTATION SECURITY UPGRADES, UH, CAMERAS AND, AND SECURITY GATES, ENHANCING THE, THERE'S ALREADY SECURITY GATES THERE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT ENHANCING, UH, THE, UH, THOSE GATES AND UPGRADING THEM. 
          UH, WE'RE DOING A POLICE FACILITY STUDY TO REVIEW THE CURRENT FACILITIES AND IDENTIFY ANY POTENTIAL MODIFICATIONS THAT WE MIGHT NEED GOING FORWARD. 
          WE'RE LOOKING TO ALSO DETERMINE FROM THIS STUDY, UH, WHAT NEW FACILITIES MAY BE NEEDED, UH, TO ADDRESS FUTURE POPULATION GROWTH, AND THEN NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME PREVENTION. 
          THERE, THERE'S A, THERE'S A, A FUND THAT WE HAVE. 
          IT'S CALLED THE ASSET SEIZURE FUND. 
          IT'S A RESTRICTED FUND, AND IT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSES. 
          WE HAVE NEVER SHARED THAT FUND WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS, BUT LATELY WE'VE HAD A COMMUNITY GROUP, UH, OR TWO ASK US ABOUT, ABOUT, UH, THE AVAILABILITY OF THOSE FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS TO, UH, ADDRESS CRIME AND, UH, QUALITY OF LIFE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO, UH, WE'RE COMING UP WITH A, UH, UM, A COMPETITIVE PROCESS ON HOW TO SHARE SOME OF THOSE FUNDS WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS WHO WILL, WILL ALLOCATE SO MUCH OF THAT MONEY TO COMMUNITY GROUPS WHO, WHO ARE ABLE TO, UH, QUALIFY FOR IT AGAIN, FOR CRIME FIGHTING PURPOSES. 
          THE CITY HAS NEW, A NEW, UH, NEW, UH, 175 PARK ACRES, 
          [00:30:01]
WHICH CONSISTS OF 13 TRAIL MILES. 
          UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT FOUR NEW PARK POLICE OFFICER POSITIONS THAT COVER THAT AREA. 
          WE'VE REDUCED OUR EFFICIENCIES. 
          WE'VE REDUCED DISTRICT FILL OVERTIME BY $2 MILLION. 
          UH, WE'VE ELIMINATED FOUR CIVILIAN OFF-DUTY EMPLOYMENT OFFICER POSITIONS, AND WE'VE ELIMINATED CELL PHONE DATA SERVICE, THAT CELL PHONE DATA SERVICE PLANS THAT WERE, UH, HAD LITTLE OR NO USE. 
          AND THAT, UH, SAVED US ALMOST A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
          UM, FILLING OUR VACANCIES IS WHAT HELPED US REDUCE THAT DISTRICT FILL OVERTIME BY $2 MILLION. 
          ALL THE REVENUE ENHANCEMENTS YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE, UH, THE ENHANCEMENTS HAVE BEEN INCREASED SIMPLY TO COVER THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES. 
          AND THE INCREASES ARE, ARE, UH, MINIMAL. 
          SO TO CLOSE THIS OUT, UH, ARE 2020, UH, KEY PRIORITIES, FAMILY VIOLENCE, UH, OFFICER AVAILABILITY, AND THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THE, THE OFFICER AVAILABILITY. 
          PART OF THIS COMES FROM IN PART SITE AND RELEASE. 
          AND IT COMES IN PART, IT WILL COME IN PART FROM MAKING SURE THAT OUR MAGISTRATE PROCESS, WHEN WE ARREST SOMEBODY STAYS EFFICIENT AND GETS OFFICERS IN AND OUTTA THAT MAGS OFFICE IN A, UH, IN A RESPECTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. 
          UH, OUR, OUR AVAILABILITY ALSO, UH, DEPENDS ON US MAINTAINING THAT 60 40 RATIO, UH, ON CALL, OFF CALL SPLIT. 
          AND THEN, UH, OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WILL BE, UM, WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT STARTING OCTOBER, AGAIN WITH A LOT, LOT OF INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY GROUP THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. 
          AND THAT IS THE, THAT'S MY, UH, PRESENTATION. 
          I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS. 
          MAYOR, WE'RE GONNA GO OVER TO CHIEF HOOD. 
          YEAH. 
          OH, THANK YOU. 
          THE ABILITY TO ADMINISTER WHOLE BLOOD IN THE FIELD HAS MADE A MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN LIFE AND DEATH SITUATIONS. 
          SOMETIMES WHAT WE CAN'T SEE IS AS HAZARDOUS AS WHAT WE CAN SEE. 
          EVERY SINGLE MEASURE THAT WE TAKE TO REDUCE RISK MAKES A DIFFERENCE. 
          THE BEAUTY OF MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE IS THE PEOPLE, THE GENIUS BEHIND IT IS PATIENT ENGAGEMENT ON A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN PUBLIC SAFETY. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          UM, I'D LIKE TO THANK ALBERT PER JOSEPH FOR THAT VIDEO. 
          AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE HIS TALENT. 
          UM, IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE AND REPRESENT THE SAN ANTONIO, SAN ANTONIO FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL THIS MORNING FOR THE BUDGET. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          [00:35:01]
THERE YOU GO, MIKE. 
          YOU GOT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO OUR MISSION STATEMENT, BASICALLY EVERY ORGANIZATION HAS A MISSION STATEMENT. 
          WE HAVE SHORTENED OUR STATEMENT UP, UH, OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND IT'S BASICALLY DEDICATED TO DOING THE RIGHT THING. 
          SO WE EMPOWER OUR EMPLOYEES TO GO OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY AND TAKE CARE OF THESE CITIZENS THAT ARE HAVING THE WORST DAY OF THEIR LIVES AND TO DO THE RIGHT THING. 
          WE PROTECT THE COMMUNITY FROM ALL HAZARDS. 
          AND, UH, THAT HAZARD LIST, UM, INCREASINGLY IS GROWING EVERY SINGLE YEAR. 
          UH, WHEN YOU LOOK AT FLASH FLOODING, ACTIVE SHOOTER, HOUSE FIRES, ALL OF THE MYRIAD OF THINGS WE DO, IT'S TO PROTECT THEM WITH COMPASSION AND PROFESSIONALISM. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT OUR OVERVIEW, UH, CURRENTLY WE HAVE, UH, 1,766 UNIFORM EMPLOYEES. 
          UM, 32 OF THOSE ARE AT, UH, THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          UM, THEY'RE GRANT FUNDED POSITIONS, UH, 123 CIVILIANS. 
          AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MOST VALUABLE RESOURCES THAT I HAVE IN THIS ORGANIZATION. 
          OUR CIVILIANS ARE SO IMPORTANT AND WE THANK THEM FOR WHAT THEY DO EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          54 ENGINES, UH, 54 FIRE STATIONS, 21 LADDERS, TWO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TEAMS, ONE LOCATED DOWNTOWN AT CHERRY NOLAN. 
          THE OTHER ONE IS OUT OFF OF 1604 BY U T S A STATION 34 2 TECHNICAL RESCUE TEAMS. ONE FIRE STATION 11 ON FREO. 
          UH, THE OTHER ONE'S UP STATION 51 UP OFF OF BECKWORTH AND I 10, UH, AIRPORT CRASH RESCUE TEAM, 43 AMBULANCES, 35 OF THOSE ARE FULL-TIME AND EIGHT, WE RUN PEAK PERIOD HOURS. 
          COMMAND STAFF IS HERE. 
          VERY EXPERIENCED, DIVERSE COMMAND TEAM. 
          COUPLE OF 'EM ARE OUT OF TOWN, BUT THE MAJORITY ARE SITTING BEHIND ME IN THE WHITE SHIRTS. 
          AND AGAIN, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT OUR BUDGET, OUR PROPOSED BUDGET IS 329, UH, $0.1 MILLION, UH, FIRE SUPPRESSION, UH, 185 AND E M S 87. 
          THAT IS THE BULK OF THE PERSONNEL COST THAT, THAT WE SEE. 
          UH, IF YOU LOOK AT FLEET AND FACILITIES, UH, WE HAVE A, A, A, AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF, UH, APPARATUS AND, UH, FACILITIES TO MANAGE. 
          UH, IF YOU LOOK AT OUR DISPATCH IS 14.1, FIRE PREVENTION, 5.2 OTHER, WHICH INCLUDES EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, ARSON RECRUITING, WELLNESS PLANNING, AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT OUR GRANTS AND CAPITAL. 
          AND SO WE'LL GO INTO MORE, UH, DETAIL ON ALL OF THESE, UH, DIVISIONS. 
          ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT, OUR ARSON BUREAU, FIRE PREVENTION, COMMUNICATIONS, FLEET PLANNING, ANALYTICS, HUMAN SERVICES, PHYSICAL MANAGEMENT, PUBLIC INFORMATION AND WELLNESS. 
          SO THAT COMPRISES OUR ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT AREAS. 
          ARSON. 
          UH, WE, UM, HAVE ARSON INSPECTORS THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE FIRE ACADEMY. 
          THEY'VE TURNED AROUND AND GONE THROUGH THE POLICE ACADEMY TOO. 
          SO A VERY SPECIALIZED GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS THAT, UH, INVESTIGATE AND MAKE ARRESTS ON ARTS AND FIRES. 
          OUR FIRE PREVENTION DIVISION HAS, UH, CONTINUED TO GROW. 
          WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT FOR THE, UM, FIRE PREVENTION AND THE PUBLIC EDUCATION OF THE CITIZENS OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          ABOUT 61% OF OUR, UM, INSPECTIONS ARE DUE TO DEVELOPMENT. 
          THIS IS A GROWTH CITY, AND WE HAVE BEEN RESPONSIVE TO EVENTS IN WEST TEXAS BY CREATING A HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INSPECTION UNIT, UH, A HAZMAT UNIT, AND ALSO, UM, UH, BOARDING HOME INSPECTIONS AND NIGHTCLUBS. 
          THESE HAVE ALL BEEN IN RESPONSES TO EITHER INCIDENTS IN THIS REGION OR WITHIN THIS CITY. 
          SO WE'RE VERY PROACTIVE IN OUR FIRE PREVENTION DIVISION COMMUNICATIONS. 
          UH, ONE OF THE VALUES THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE, UM, FIRE ENGINEER PARAMEDICS THAT ARE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY TO TAKE THOSE CALLS, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GIVING HELP ADV ADVICE TO CITIZENS, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CALM VOICE ON THE LINE WHEN THEY'RE TALKING TO OUR PARAMEDICS AND OUR FIREFIGHTERS. 
          FLEET LOGISTICS CENTER. 
          UM, IT'S, IT'S AN AMAZING FACILITY. 
          WE'VE BEEN IN IT FOR A FEW YEARS. 
          WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES. 
          WE HAVE EMERGENCY VEHICLE TECHNICIANS THAT MANAGE THOSE VEHICLES. 
          WE HAVE LOGISTICIANS THAT WILL GET YOU ANYWHERE FROM A TIRE OR A SKILLET, WHATEVER YOU NEED AT THAT FIRE STATION. 
          WE, UH, MANAGE A HUGE WAREHOUSE. 
          WE'RE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF THE FIREFIGHTERS HEALTH AND WELLNESS. 
          WE MANAGE TACTICAL ATHLETES. 
          POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS ARE TACTICAL ATHLETES. 
          THEY'RE THE MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCES WE HAVE IN THIS ORGANIZATION. 
          SO WE HAVE A PHILOSOPHY, UH, FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. 
          BASICALLY, WHEN WE HIRE YOU, WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE PHYSICALLY FIT, EMOTIONALLY PREPARED TO DO THAT JOB THROUGHOUT YOUR CAREER. 
          SO WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME MAKING SURE THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE HEALTHY, THAT THEY'RE SCREENED, THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR INJURIES. 
          YOU SEE, WE HAVE A FULL-TIME TRAINER THERE WORKING ON ONE OF OUR MEMBERS. 
          BUT WE, WE TAKE A LOT OF, UH, UH, PRIDE AND PRIORITY IN MAKING SURE THAT OUR MEMBERS ARE HEALTHY. 
          PLANNING AND ANALYTICS, PLANNING AND ANALYTICS, UH, GIVES US THE, UM, METRICS THAT WE NEED TO COME TO YOU 
          [00:40:01]
AND MAKE REQUESTS. 
          YEARS AGO, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, THEY WERE PROBABLY THROWING THINGS OVER THEIR SHOULDERS WITH GUESSING IT WOULD WORK. 
          UH, WE BRING YOU NUMBERS, WE BRING YOU VALIDATION, AND WE CONSTANTLY WORK ON THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          UM, I CAN TELL YOU YESTERDAY THAT THERE ARE LIKE 1000, ABOUT 139 CALLS IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          I COULD TELL YOU WHAT THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME WAS. 
          I HAD TWO HOUSE FIRES YESTERDAY. 
          I HAVE THAT DASHBOARD OF METRICS EVERY SINGLE MORNING, UH, TO HELP US OUT, EMERGENCY RESPONSE CAPABILITIES. 
          AND SO WHEN I SAY A FULL SERVICE DEPARTMENT, IF YOU LOOK AT, SAY, AUSTIN FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY DON'T DO E M SS FORT WORTH. 
          THEY DON'T DO M SS EITHER. 
          UH, CITY OF DALLAS, THEY DON'T DO AVIATION FIREFIGHTING. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT OUR ORGANIZATION, WE DO EVERYTHING FROM FIRE SUPPRESSION, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, TECHNICAL RESCUE, HAZMAT, EMERGENCY OPERATIONS, M I H, AVIATION FUSION, AND SPECIAL MEDICAL OPERATIONS, FIRE SUPPRESSION. 
          WE HAVE HAD A UPTICK THIS YEAR OF, OF APARTMENT FIRES. 
          PROBABLY AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 20% OF APARTMENT FIRES THAT WE HAVE HAD THIS YEAR. 
          BUILDING CONSTRUCTION HAS CHANGED. 
          UH, IF YOU LOOK IN NEW HOUSES, THEY'RE MORE OPEN. 
          UM, IT, IT, IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE, FOR THE FIRE TO SPREAD. 
          COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION, IT'S LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION, TILT SLAB CONSTRUCTION. 
          SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH WITH NEWER CONSTRUCTION. 
          AND ALSO, UM, BEING IN A LEGACY CITY WHERE WE HAVE OLDER HOMES. 
          SO OUR FIRE ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO GROW. 
          IT'S BEEN A, A BUSY AND A HOT SUMMER FOR US. 
          EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, WE'RE GONNA SPEND A LOT MORE TIME ON THIS. 
          WE ARE A FIRE BASED E M S SERVICE, AND I HAVE A COUPLE SLIDES DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE'LL SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME WITH THIS TECHNICAL RESCUE. 
          UM, THIS IS A, UH, CAVE RESCUE OVER IN COUNCILMAN PERRY'S, UH, AREA. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD INNER CITY, UH, CAVES UNTIL THIS DAY. 
          TOOK US ABOUT 10 HOURS TO GET THIS YOUNG LADY OUT. 
          VERY SPECIALIZED RESCUE. 
          THE, UH, MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR TECHNICAL RESCUE ARE SOME OF THE FINEST IN THE COUNTRY. 
          UH, YOU'RE ALSO SEEING WATER RESCUES. 
          LAST YEAR WE WERE DEPLOYED 14 TIMES, UH, TWO ON WILDLAND FIRES THAT YOU SAW IN CALIFORNIA, A COUPLE OF OTHER REGIONAL WILDLAND FIRE, UH, UM, INCIDENTS IN THE STATE. 
          AND THEN NUMEROUS SEVERE STORM DEPLOYMENTS WHERE YOU SAW OUR SWIMMER PARA PARAMEDIC SWIMMERS ON BLACK HAWK HELICOPTERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, PULLING PEOPLE OUT OF THE, UH, RAVAGES OF STORMS. SO, VERY PROUD OF WHAT WE DO AS FAR AS OUR TECHNICAL RESCUE TEAMS HAZMAT. 
          WE HAVE TWO REGIONAL HAZMAT UNITS IN THE CITY STATION 34, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, AND STATION ONE. 
          WE ARE, UM, ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE IN THIS REGION IF WE ARE NEEDED. 
          WE HAVE SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT, SPECIALIZED FOLKS. 
          WE HAD CLOSED THE I 10 A LITTLE EARLIER TODAY FROM A DIESEL SPEW CLOSED BOTH LANES. 
          SO WE ARE VERY ACTIVE WITH OUR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESPONSE TEAMS. THE, THE BEST THING ABOUT ALL THESE SPECIALIZED TEAMS, THE FIRST MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THEY ARE FIREFIGHTERS. 
          THEY'RE PARAMEDICS. 
          THEY RESPOND TO THE EVERYDAY CALLS THAT WE GO ON IN THIS CITY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. 
          OUR STAFF IS HERE FOR THE E O C. 
          SEVERAL OF YOU HAVE BEEN THERE. 
          UH, WE ARE PLANNING A, UH, LITTLE EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIP FOR YOU IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO OUT THERE. 
          THIS IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART CENTER. 
          WE ARE, WE PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES AND DISASTERS. 
          WE MITIGATE THOSE AND WE MANAGE, UH, LARGE SCALE INCIDENTS. 
          THE SUPPORT, SUPPORT OF A LARGE SCALE INCIDENT FROM OUR E O C. 
          SO YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO GO OUT THERE. 
          WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS A POLICY ROOM RIGHT THERE, UH, WITH MY, THE SLIDE TO THE LEFT. 
          AND AGAIN, THAT'S WHERE POLICY IS MADE. 
          THE OTHER SLIDE TO YOUR RIGHT, YOU'RE LOOKING AT SOME OF THE TABLES OUT IN THE OPERATIONS ROOMS WHERE WE HAVE MULTIPLE PARTNERS FROM AGENCIES, STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL THAT COME TOGETHER AND COLLABORATE IN EMERGENCY MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTH. 
          I'M GONNA SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH THIS. 
          THIS HAS ONE BEEN THE MOST, ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS THAT THIS DEPARTMENT HAS HAD. 
          SO WE WILL SPEND SOME TIME TALKING ABOUT M I H AVIATION FIRE RESCUE. 
          WE HAVE 32 POSITIONS AT INTERNATIONAL. 
          UH, THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR AIRPLANE EMERGENCIES AND ANY TYPE OF MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CAR FIRE, ANYTHING THAT GOES ON ON THAT PROPERTY. 
          IT IS ONE OF OUR BUSIEST ADDRESSES, FUSION CENTER. 
          WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE A SOUTHWEST TEXAS FUSION CENTER LOCATED IN OUR BUILDING. 
          WE WILL SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME ON THE VALUE OF THIS PARTNERSHIP, THIS COLLABORATION OF INFORMATION BETWEEN PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES, AND WE'LL SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME ON THAT. 
          MEDICAL SPECIAL OPERATIONS. 
          WE HAVE SPENT OVER $700,000 ON BALLISTICS FOR OUR MEMBERS. 
          YOU SEE SOME OF THEM CLAD IN THE BALLISTIC GEAR RIGHT HERE. 
          UM, THESE ARE OUR MEDICAL 
          [00:45:01]
SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNITS. 
          WE HAVE. 
          ONE IS STATION ONE DOWNTOWN. 
          ONE IS STATION 45 OUT BY SEAWORLD. 
          THESE ARE SPECIALLY TRAINED PARAMEDICS THAT GO IN WITH THE MEMBERS OF SAN ANTONIO PD, SWAT THE SHERIFF SWAT ORGANIZATIONS IN FULL GEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN PROTECT THOSE SWAT MEMBERS. 
          THEY'RE ALSO CALLED OUT TO, UM, DELIVER BLOOD AND INFUSE BLOOD. 
          THEY ARE VERY SPECIALIZED. 
          IF THERE'S A TECHNICAL RESCUE, WE COULD UTILIZE THEIR SKILLS TO GO DOWN AND TREAT PATIENTS. 
          AND SO VERY SPECIALIZED, UM, GROUP, VERY VALUED MEMBERS IN THIS ORGANIZATION, ACCREDITED WITH A CLASS I S O WITH A CLASS ONE I S O. 
          SEVERAL OF YOU WERE ON THIS COUNCIL WHEN WE WERE WORKING TOWARD BECOMING A CLASS ONE. 
          WHEN I ARRIVED, WE WERE CLASS THREE. 
          WE HAVE DONE AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF WORK TO LOOK AT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, OUR WATER SYSTEMS, OUR COMMUNICATIONS STATION LOCATIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD IMPROVE THAT NUMBER FROM A 3 2 0 1. 
          IN 2017, WE WERE, UM, GIVEN A CLASS ONE CERTIFICATION. 
          ONLY 0.4 OF ALL DEPARTMENTS IN THE NATION HOLD THIS CLASSIFICATION. 
          AND SO WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT ALL DEPARTMENTS, I'M TALKING ALMOST 50,000 FIRE DEPARTMENTS. 
          AND THE MAJORITY OF THOSE FIRE DEPARTMENTS THAT HOLD THAT CERTIFICATION ARE SMALL DEPARTMENTS, MILITARY DEPARTMENTS, WHERE IT'S A LOT EASIER TO ATTAIN A CLASS ONE. 
          SO, UH, I WANNA THANK THE STAFF BEHIND ME AGAIN FOR WORKING REALLY HARD TO ATTAIN THAT. 
          UM, ALSO LAST YEAR, OR THIS YEAR ACTUALLY, WE WERE CREDITED BY THE CENTER FOR PUBLIC SAFETY EXCELLENCE, UM, IN BEING ACCREDITED. 
          AND THAT ACCREDITATION GOES TO 2024. 
          SO 11% OF THE POPULATION IS SERVED BY AN ACCREDITED AGENCY. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE TWO, WE ARE THE SECOND LARGEST METRO DEPARTMENT IN THE NATION THAT IS A CLASS ONE AND ACCREDITED. 
          I CAN'T TELL YOU, UH, HOW PROUD I AM WHEN I GO TO METRO MEETINGS AND TALK TO MY COLLEAGUES THAT WE HOLD THIS DISTINCTION. 
          AND WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT WITHOUT THE MEN AND WOMEN BEHIND ME. 
          I THANKED THEM. 
          WE, UM, ACHIEVED THIS GOING THROUGH ACCREDITATION ONLY ONE TIME. 
          WE DIDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK. 
          SO, UM, I WANT TO THANK THEM. 
          IT'S, IT'S, IT'S QUITE AN HONOR TO HAVE THAT DISTINCTION, EVOLUTION OF E M S. 
          AND FOR THOSE OF YOU ON COUNCIL MAYOR, WHEN YOU WERE ON COUNCIL, YOU SAW THIS SLIDE. 
          EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS SLIDE, AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO LET YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE SO YOU CAN GO OUT AND ANSWER QUESTIONS TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS. 
          AND SO WE ARE A FIRE BASED E M SS SYSTEM. 
          WE ARE NOT AN AMBULANCE COMPANY. 
          WE ARE A FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT PROVIDES EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION THE BEST WAY THAT WE CAN. 
          AND WE WANT TO HAVE OPTIONS ON HOW WE DO THAT. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT PRE E M SS, PRE E M S, AND THAT SAYS SA POLICE DEPARTMENT ON IT. 
          AND SO BASICALLY, I THINK BACK THEN SOMEBODY WAS JUST THROWING PEOPLE IN THE BACK OF A RIG AND DROPPING 'EM OFF AT A HOSPITAL. 
          SO THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES AND, UM, START OF 74, AND I GOT A COUPLE GUYS OVER HERE BACK TO MY LEFT THAT PROBABLY RODE ON THIS AMBULANCE. 
          AND, UM, JUST JOKING, BUT, BUT MAYBE NOT. 
          BUT WE STARTED OFF WITH EIGHT OR NINE E M S UNITS WHEN, WHEN, WHEN THIS, WHEN WE STARTED. 
          AND THOSE E M SS UNITS WOULD RUN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. 
          AND THE STORIES THAT THOSE PARAMEDICS HAD OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DID BACK THEN, UM, THEY SAVED A LOT OF LIVES, BUT THAT WE RAN THE WHEELS OFF THE PROGRAM. 
          SO, UM, THE NEXT SLIDE IS, AND, AND THAT SLIDE'S PRETTY SCARY LOOKING TOO. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE CAMERA, IF YOU LOOK AT THE, THE PICTURES, THE WHOLE DEAL, THIS WAS PROBABLY AROUND EARLY SEVENTIES, MID SEVENTIES. 
          SO WE STARTED PROVIDING BASIC FIRST AID TO THE FIREFIGHTERS SO THEY WOULD HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT TO DO ON A FIRE CALL, BUT THEY STILL WEREN'T BEING UTILIZED AS THEY ARE TODAY. 
          SO FIRE A L SS FIRE A L S STARTED PROBABLY ABOUT 11 YEARS AGO TO WHERE WE PUT PARAMEDICS ON FIRE TRUCKS. 
          EVERY SINGLE ENGINE COMPANY, LADDER COMPANY IN THIS CITY HAS ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT ON THOSE RIGS. 
          WE HAVE ABOUT 60% OF THOSE RIGS EVERY SINGLE DAY HAS A PARAMEDIC ON BOARD. 
          AND SO WHAT THAT HAS DONE THAT HAS INCREASED OUR A L SS RESPONSE TIME, ABOUT A MINUTE AND 43 SECONDS TO WHERE I CAN GET A FIRETRUCK THERE REALLY QUICK WITH LIFESAVING TOOLS AND PERSONNEL TO, UM, HOPEFULLY HAVE A, A POSITIVE OUTCOME ON A PATIENT. 
          WE HAVE HAD STORIES TO WHERE, UM, WE SAVED A YOUNG LADY, UH, AND IT WAS ENGINE 31, THEY HAPPENED TO BE CLOSE AND THEY WERE A PARAMEDIC. 
          AND THIS WAS A YOUNG MOTHER THAT HAD A, A 
          [00:50:01]
MASSIVE HEART ATTACK. 
          IF WE WOULD'VE WAITED ON AN AMBULANCE, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. 
          SO THE THING IS, WHEN YOU TALK TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND THEY ASK YOU, WHY DID A FIRETRUCK SHOW UP? THOSE FIRE TRUCKS HAVE PARAMEDICS ON BOARD, THOSE FIRE TRUCKS ARE GENERALLY QUICKER IN THEIR RESPONSE BECAUSE THEY ARE STRATEGICALLY LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          I MIGHT HAVE A POCKET OF AMBULANCES AT A HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT UNIVERSITY, I COULD HAVE SEVEN, EIGHT AMBULANCES AT UNIVERSITY, ANOTHER THREE OR FOUR AT AT, UH, METHODIST. 
          YOU COULD LOOK UP IN THAT AREA AROUND THE MEDICAL CENTER. 
          I'VE GOT AN INFLUX OF E M S UNITS. 
          A LOT OF THEM MAY BE OUT OF SERVICE TRANSPORTING OR TRYING TO GET BACK IN SERVICE, BUT THOSE FIRE TRUCKS ARE AVAILABLE AND THEY ARE LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CITY WITH A L S EQUIPMENT ON THEM. 
          UM, MEDICAL SPECIAL OPERATIONS, WE TOUCHED ON THAT A LITTLE BIT. 
          AND, UM, OUR DEPARTMENT AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE OF ACTOR SHOOTER, WE HAVE BECOME MEDICAL SPECIALISTS AS FAR AS HAVING TO RESPOND ON SOME OF THE INCIDENTS THAT YOU SEE ON TV, UNFORTUNATELY ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
          BUT THESE ARE, UH, PARAMEDICS THAT ARE SPECIALLY TRAINED. 
          THEY HAVE SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT, UM, TO ASSIST IN RESCUES, TO ASSIST IN HOSTAGE SITUATIONS, TO SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          AND, UM, THAT'S WHAT THE MEDICAL SPECIAL OPERATIONS FOLKS ARE THERE. 
          BUT THEY DO OPERATE AS A REGULAR AMBULANCE WHEN THE NEED ARISES. 
          BUT IF WE HAVE A BARRICADE SITUATION, IF IT'S IN THE COUNTY AND B C S O CALLS US, WE WILL RESPOND IN SUPPORT OF THEM. 
          MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE, WE STARTED A PILOT IN 2016. 
          SEVERAL OF YOU REMEMBER THAT WE HAD IDENTIFIED PROBABLY ABOUT 24 PATIENTS THAT WERE CALLING US ON A REGULAR BASIS, 12 TO 14 TIMES A YEAR. 
          THEY WERE CAUSING ABOUT 4,200 TRANSPORTS. 
          AND A LOT OF THOSE WERE JUST REPEAT. 
          SO YOU WOULD GO IN AND YOU'D PICK MR. SMITH UP AND YOU'D TAKE MR. SMITH IN AND, AND, UM, MR. SMITH HAD CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. 
          SO MR. SMITH GOES IN THE HOSPITAL THREE OR FOUR DAYS, HE'S RELEASED, HE'S NOT COMPLIANT WITH HIS MEDICATION. 
          WHEN HE COMES HOME, HE'S EATING, UM, TOP RAMEN, WHICH HAS A LOT OF SODIUM IN IT. 
          SO HE'S PROBABLY NOT GETTING THE MEALS HE NEEDS. 
          AND FOUR OR FIVE DAYS LATER, HE CALLS US AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. 
          SO HOW CAN WE STOP THAT? HOW CAN WE NAVIGATE HIM INTO BETTER HEALTH? HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT HE'S GETTING MEALS? HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE HAVE FALL PROTECTION SO THEY'RE NOT FALLING? SO THIS IS A WAY FOR US TO NAVIGATE AND, AND TRY TO LIMIT THOSE AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE CALLING US, UM, AT A HIGH VOLUME. 
          IS THERE A BREAKOUT FOR M I H? OKAY. 
          NOT THERE. 
          OKAY, WE'LL KEEP GOING. 
          SO TOTAL INCIDENTS. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE, UM, HOUSTON, DALLAS, OR AHEAD OF US, AS FAR AS TOTAL NUMBER OF INCIDENTS, UH, 19 THOU 197,654 LAST YEAR. 
          AND IF YOU LOOK AT OUR HEAT MAP AND TOTAL INCIDENTS, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT TOTAL INCIDENTS VERSUS, UM, UNIT RESPONSES IN A MINUTE. 
          BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THAT SLIDE, 81% OF OUR RUNS ARE E M SS. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT SAN DIEGO, PHOENIX, PHILADELPHIA, THEY'RE ALL GONNA REGISTER BETWEEN PROBABLY 80 AND 84. 
          THAT IS WHAT FIRE DEPARTMENTS DO NOW. 
          AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE NON-MEDICAL, THOSE WILL BE STRUCTURED FIRES, DUMPSTER, FIRES, ANY OTHER CALL THAT IS NOT AN E M S RUN. 
          STANDARDS OF COVER N F P A, UH, 1710 IS A GUIDELINE FOR MAJOR DEPARTMENTS AS FAR AS WHAT A RESPONSE LOOKS LIKE. 
          AND ANY CALL THAT WE GO ON, THERE ARE MULTIPLE, UM, THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY. 
          SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES. 
          SO FOR A CARDIAC ARREST, SOMEONE THAT THEIR HEART IS STOPPED, THEY'RE NOT BREATHING, THEY'VE COLLAPSED. 
          WE'RE GOING TO SEND THE NEAREST OR CLOSEST ENGINE OR THE CLOSEST LADDER, WE'RE GOING TO SEND TWO E M S UNITS WITH A TOTAL OF SEVEN TO EIGHT PERSONNEL. 
          THAT'S BASICALLY A NATIONAL STANDARD. 
          WE ARE BRINGING AN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT INTO YOUR FRONT DOOR. 
          THERE'S NO WAY THAT WE COULD TREAT SOMEONE WITH TWO PEOPLE. 
          SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THERE FOR C P R TO MANAGE DRUGS, IVS, AIRWAY, UH, ALL OF THOSE THINGS FOR A CAR ACCIDENT, THAT'S A NUMBER ONE RUN THAT WE GO ON IN THE CITY ARE MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. 
          SO ON A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, WE'RE GOING TO SEND A ENGINE AND THEN PROBABLY TWO LADDERS, IF IT'S ON THE HIGHWAY OR IF IT COMES IN AS A RESCUE, WE END UP BLOCKING THOSE LANES TO PROTECT THE PATIENT AND OUR FIREFIGHTERS. 
          SO THAT'S 16 TO 20 HOUSE FIRES, UH, THREE ENGINES, ONE LADDER IN A COMMAND VEHICLE, 15 TO 18 PEOPLE ON A DAY LIKE TODAY WHERE WE'RE GONNA GO TO LEVEL TWO HEAT STRESS, WHICH WE'VE 
          [00:55:01]
PROBABLY ALREADY DONE TODAY, WE'RE GONNA SEND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ON A COMMERCIAL FIRE, YOU'RE GONNA GET A FOUR TWO, THAT WOULD BE AN APARTMENT FIRE COMMERCIAL. 
          WE'RE GONNA SEND FOUR ENGINES, TWO LADDERS, ONE BC HIGH-RISE FIRE. 
          YOU CAN IMAGINE WE'RE SENDING A LOT MORE RESOURCES TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT THESE ARE NATIONAL STANDARDS, UM, THAT WE ARE ADHERING TO. 
          NOW YOU LOOK AT UNIT RESPONSES. 
          SO OUR UNIT RESPONSES BECAUSE OF STANDARD OF COVER, OUR UNIT RESPONSES WERE 400, 2000 UNIT RESPONSES. 
          UM, THIS YEAR, IF YOU LOOK AT HOUSTON, DALLAS, ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT, THEIR UNIT RESPONSES ARE, ARE GONNA BE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE WE ARE SENDING MULTIPLE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT ON FIRES. 
          WE COULD HAVE A SECOND ALARM APARTMENT FIRE, AND I'VE USED A HUNDRED PEOPLE ON THAT FIRE. 
          EACH ONE OF THOSE UNITS IS GOING TO BE A PART OF THAT INCIDENT RESPONSE. 
          SO WE DO SEND A LOT OF RESOURCES OUT TO CERTAIN INCIDENTS. 
          RESPONSE TIMES. 
          THE NATIONAL STANDARD AVERAGE IS EIGHT MINUTES, AND THAT IS OUT OF 90% OF OUR CALLS. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT PHYSICAL YEARS, UH, 16, IT WAS 8 17, 7 51 AND UH, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS YEAR IT'S 7 48. 
          WE CREDIT A LOT OF THAT TO EFFICIENCIES ON OUR E M S SIDE AS FAR AS WHAT WE ARE DOING. 
          SO ONE OF THE MAIN CHALLENGES FOR A FIRE CHIEF IN ANY CITY IS TO MANAGE RESPONSE TIMES E M SS EFFICIENCIES. 
          SO WHEN YOU CALL 9 1 1, THERE'S A PARAMEDIC THAT IS GOING TO PICK UP THAT PHONE. 
          THAT PARAMEDIC IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE GIVING YOU HELP INFORMATION IF NEEDED. 
          THAT UNIT IS, OR THAT ADDRESS IS GOING TO BE PICKED UP AND A G P S IS GOING TO PICK UP THE CLOSEST RESPONSE TO THAT ADDRESS. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED SOMETIMES THEY WILL SHOW UP AT A FIRE STATION, NOBODY'S THERE BECAUSE WE'RE OUT ON THE STREETS. 
          AND SO IT IS GOING TO PICK UP THE CLOSEST UNIT. 
          IT MIGHT NOT BE A UNIT THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH, BUT THAT UNIT HAPPENED TO BE CLOSEST. 
          WE'RE GONNA SEND THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO THE, TO THE CALL PEAK UNITS. 
          PEAK UNITS. 
          WE HAVE EIGHT E M SS UNITS THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT WE RUN DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. 
          WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT WE CAN LOOK AT AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT IS THE BUSIEST TIME? UH, AND WHERE DO WE NEED TO PUT THIS UNIT? SO WE RUN EIGHT PEAK UNITS AT THIS TIME. 
          OUR FIRE ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT PROGRAM, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LITTLE EARLIER. 
          PARAMEDICS AND EQUIPMENT ON OUR FIRE APPARATUS, FIRE ONLY RESPONSE. 
          SOME CALLS ONLY DICTATE A FIRE TRUCK OR SOMEONE TO COME OUT AND, UH, CHECK SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE RECEIVING. 
          THIS PERSON DOES NOT NEED AN AMBULANCE. 
          UM, AND SO WE'RE GONNA SEND A FIRETRUCK ONLY. 
          SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS KEEP THOSE E M S UNITS AVAILABLE, UH, DECREASE THE WORKLOAD ON THOSE PARAMEDICS ON THOSE BOXES IF WE CAN. 
          TAXI VOUCHERS, LAST YEAR WE GAVE OUT OVER 1600 TAXI VOUCHERS. 
          SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS I CAN GO AND, UM, LOOK AT A PATIENT, MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE STABLE ENOUGH TO GO IN A CAR AND I CAN CALL A CAB FOR THEM. 
          'CAUSE WHAT YOU SEE, A LOT OF TIMES YOU WILL SEE A FAMILY FOLLOW A PATIENT TO THE HOSPITAL IN A PERFECTLY GOOD CAR. 
          AND WE WILL GET TO THE HOSPITAL. 
          WE'LL TAKE THAT PERSON OFF THE GURNEY, THEY WILL PUT 'EM IN TRIAGE, THEY'LL SIT THERE FOR TWO HOURS. 
          AND IT'S THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF SOME PEOPLE THAT, BECAUSE I'M TAKING AN AMBULANCE, I'M GONNA BE SEEING QUICKER. 
          THAT IS A FALLACY. 
          SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO, IF WE CAN PUT PEOPLE IN TAXIS TO KEEP OUR UNITS AVAILABLE FOR DROWNING FOR SHOOTING, THEN THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. 
          MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE, I'VE GOT A SLIDE FOR THAT AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A MINUTE. 
          UM, HOSPITAL SERVICE TIME POLICY. 
          OUR UNITS HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY CAN BE AT A HOSPITAL AND IT'S UP TO WORK WITH THE HOSPITALS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE OUR PARAMEDICS STANDING ON THE WALL, WHICH IS CALLED WALL TIME BECAUSE THERE'S NO BEDS. 
          SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT OUR UNITS ARE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL IN AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME. 
          OUR HOSPITAL DIVERSION PROGRAM, UH, YOU MAY GET A CALL, IT'S LIKE, WHY DID THEY TAKE ME TO THIS HOSPITAL WHEN I LIVE RIGHT OVER HERE? YOUR HOSPITAL WAS FULL. 
          WE HAD TO DIVERT. 
          WE DIDN'T WANT OUR MEDICS STANDING ON THE WALLS FOR AN HOUR BECAUSE THERE ARE NO BEDS. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE DO WITH A HOSPITAL DIVERSION. 
          AND SO YOU SEE THOSE PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. 
          OUR E M S UNITS WILL UNDERSTAND, OKAY, WE'RE NOT TAKING ANYBODY TO THIS HOSPITAL. 
          THEY ARE CLOSED FOR DIVERSION AT THIS TIME. 
          OUR SCENE TIME POLICY, WE HAVE A POLICY AS FAR AS HOW LONG OUR MEDICS AND, AND FOLKS CAN'T STAY ON A SCENE AS FAR AS WHAT THE TREATMENT IS. 
          WHY ARE WE STILL THERE? SO WE WANT TO GET THEM BACK IN SERVICE. 
          LAW ENFORCEMENT, NAVIGATION, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT TOO. 
          WITH THE M I H SLIDE. 
          THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES THAT DON'T NEED TO BE A BACK OF AN AMBULANCE. 
          [01:00:01]
AND SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED THOSE AND WE'RE WORKING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN, UM, MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET TO THE PROPER, UH, LOCATION THAT THEY NEED TO BE TREATED. 
          HIGH VOLUME UTILIZATION. 
          THAT'S WHY M I H WAS STARTED. 
          BUT IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THESE OTHER CIRCLES AROUND IT, WE HAVE CREATED SO MANY VALUABLE PROGRAMS. IT IS IS ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE WHAT WE HAVE DONE. 
          SO AS I MENTIONED MR. SMITH EARLIER, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ELIMINATING HOPEFULLY HIS NEEDLESS TRIPS TO THE HOSPITAL. 
          SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. 
          WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH SEVERAL, UH, HOSPICE FACILITIES IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          I HAVE BEEN ON CALLS PERSONALLY. 
          I RODE ON ENGINE 24 LAST YEAR, AND THERE'S A GENTLEMAN, HIS FAMILY HAD BROUGHT HIM HOME FROM HIS CHEMO. 
          HE WAS SICK AND COULDN'T GET OUT OF HIS CAR. 
          SO I WAS ON ENGINE 24. 
          SO WE GO OVER, WE HELP GET HIM OUT OF THE CAR AND THEY COULDN'T GET AHOLD OF THE HOSPICE NURSE. 
          AND SO THEN THEY WERE WORRIED, OKAY, WELL SHOULD WE TAKE HIM BACK TO THE HOSPITAL? IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT HAS BEEN SICK WITH CANCER, THEY DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL. 
          HOSPICE IS NOT DESIGNED TO MAKE, TO, TO TAKE PEOPLE BACK TO THE HOSPITAL. 
          SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS FILLING THAT GAP BY HAVING OUR M I H FOLKS GO AND STABILIZE WORK WITH THAT PATIENT UNTIL THEIR HOSPICE NURSE CAN GET THERE AND PROVIDE THAT CARE AND BASICALLY KEEP THEM OUTTA THE HOSPITAL. 
          BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES ON HOSPICE, PEOPLE WILL CALL NINE ONE BECAUSE THEY'RE SCARED. 
          AND SO WE ARE THERE TO REASSURE THEM AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THE BEST END OF LIFE CARE IN THEIR HOMES. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MOST FIRE DEPARTMENTS DON'T DO, BUT THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE M I H WORK HAVEN FOR HOPE. 
          AND THIS IS A BIG SUCCESS TOO. 
          SO MANY OF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE. 
          YOU KNOW HOW BUSY STATION 11 IS? STATION 11 IS MY TECHNICAL RESPONSE STATION OVER ON FRIO, THEIR FIRST IN AT HAVEN FOR HOPE. 
          THEY WERE THE SECOND BUSIEST STATION IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          BECAUSE OF THIS PROGRAM, WE HAVE DROPPED RESPONSES TO HAVEN FOR HOPE 35%, AND THE CALLS CONTINUE TO INCREASE. 
          WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS EMBED A PARAMEDIC FROM EIGHT TO EIGHT AT HAVEN FOR HOPE THAT CAN GO AND ASSIST SOMEONE THAT CALLS IN, GET THEM A APPOINTMENT FOR A, UH, THE DENTIST, GET THEM A TAXI CAB TO A HOSPITAL. 
          THEY CAN EVALUATE THEM, AND IF THEY NEED TO GO IN BY PARAMEDICS, THEN WE'RE GONNA SEND THEM IN. 
          BUT THIS HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL TO ELIMINATE A LOT OF THOSE RUNS THAT A LOT OF THE DOWNTOWN COMPANIES WERE GOING TO HAVEN FOR HOPE FOR THE, UH, T O R TEXAS TARGETED OPIOID RESPONSE. 
          AND THIS IS AN OUTREACH TO PATIENTS THAT HAVE SUFFERED AN OD AND AND OUR GOAL IS TO, UM, CONTACT WITH THEM WITHIN THE, THE, THE DAY AFTER AND WORK WITH THEM FOR THE NEXT TWO OR THREE DAYS TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE TO, UM, HELP THEM, YOU KNOW, IF THEY OD AGAIN TO EDUCATE THEM, TO GET THEM HELP. 
          AS FAR AS REHABILITATION SERVICES, WE HAVE TWO OF OUR M I H MEDICS THAT ARE, UM, ASSIGNED TO THIS PROGRAM. 
          AND, UM, SO THAT IS ANOTHER PROGRAM BECAUSE OF THE VALUE THAT M I H HAS CREATED. 
          UH, PROGRAM FOR INTENSIVE CARE COORDINATION. 
          WE WORK WELL WITH SS A P D AND CENTER FOR HEALTH SERVICES, UM, HOMELESSNESS, BEHAVIORAL ISSUES. 
          A LOT OF THESE MENTAL CRISIS DO NOT BELONG IN THE BACK OF AN AMBULANCE. 
          SO HOW CAN WE FIND THEM THE RIGHT CARE? HOW CAN WE NAVIGATE THEM TO THAT WITHOUT TYING UP OUR RESOURCES THREAT ASSESSMENT GROUP, I WAS AT A MEETING, UH, ABOUT TWO OR THREE WEEKS AGO AND, UH, IT WAS A BIG MEETING. 
          IT WAS F B I THERE, IT WAS REGION 20 FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SS A P D, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, A LOT OF OUR LOCAL PARTNERS TO FOCUS ON COMMUNITY VIOLENCE. 
          AND A LOT OF THESE SHOOTINGS THAT YOU'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, UH, THE RED FLAG WAS RAISED AFTER THE SHOOTING AND THEY'RE SAYING, WELL, WE KNEW HE WAS THIS, OR WE KNEW HE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS, OR THIS AGENCY KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM. 
          AND THEY HAVE SILOED THEMSELVES TO WHERE THAT INFORMATION'S NOT GETTING OUT. 
          SO THIS IS A GROUP THAT'S FOCUSING ON COLLABORATION, FOCUSING ON GETTING INFORMATION OUT, WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WORKING WITH ALL THE JURISDICTIONS WITHIN THIS REGION, BECAUSE WE REALIZE THAT IF THERE'S A SHOOTING ANYWHERE IN BEXAR COUNTY, WE ARE GOING TO BE RESPONDING TO IT. 
          SO WHY NOT TRY TO ASSESS AND PREVENT INCREASE IN COORDINATION AND THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ALL OUR PARTNERS IN THIS REGION? WHOLE BLOOD. 
          THIS IS TIFFANY KNIK RIVAS, AND, UH, TIFFANY ROLLED HER CAR OUT BY SEAWORLD IN JANUARY LAST YEAR. 
          SHE SUFFERED A STROKE AND SHE'S A YOUNG, HEALTHY WOMAN, SUFFERED A STROKE, FLIPPED HER CAR INTO A, UH, A BRIDGE, WENT DOWN IN A CREEK. 
          SHE WAS, UM, BASICALLY UNCONSCIOUS, WENT INTO A CARDIAC ARREST. 
          OUR PARAMEDICS 
          [01:05:01]
WERE ABLE WITH THE HELP OF SOME, UM, STANDBY, UM, STANDBY BYSTANDERS TO KEEP HER HEAD OUT OF THE WATER. 
          WE WERE ABLE TO GET HER OUT, BUT SHE WENT INTO CARDIAC ARREST AND SHE WOULD'VE DIED, BUT WITHOUT WHOLE BLOOD, UH, WHICH WE ADMINISTERED. 
          IT SAVED HER LIFE. 
          AND I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO MEET WITH HER TWICE. 
          I WAS A PARAMEDIC FOR 17 YEARS, AND I, I WOULD, I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING WHOLE BLOOD BACK IN THE DAY. 
          BUT WHOLE BLOOD WAS GIVEN OVER A MILLION PINTS BETWEEN WORLD WAR I AND THE VIETNAM WAR. 
          IT NEVER REALLY TRANSCRIBED TO STREET USE UNLESS IT WAS ON A HELICOPTER. 
          SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY, WITH UM, WITH SAM, SS E WITH OUR MEDICAL DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOT HERE TODAY, BUT WE HAVE CREATED A PROGRAM AND ALSO IN COORDINATION WITH THE BLOOD AND TISSUE CENTER TO WHERE WE HAVE BLOOD ON SEVEN UNITS WITHIN THIS CITY. 
          ALL OF OUR MEDICAL, UH, OPERATIONS UNITS HAVE THEM, UH, OUR MEDICAL OFFICERS HAVE THEM. 
          AND SO IF WE GET A CALL FOR A CUTTING, STABBING, SHOOTING, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE'RE GOING TO DISPATCH A UNIT WITH WHOLE BLOOD. 
          SO WHOLE BLOOD SAVES LIVES. 
          UH, WE ARE THE FIRST IN THE NATION TO CARRY AND ADMINISTER WHOLE BLOOD. 
          SO WE'VE GIVEN OUT 14 PINTS ALREADY. 
          AND, UH, WE HAVE HAD, EVERY MAJOR CITY IN THE COUNTRY HAS CALLED US TO ASK US ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING ON A WHOLE BLOOD BOOTCAMP IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THE VALUE AND HOW THEY CAN GET THIS PROGRAM STARTED. 
          BUT IF THERE WAS AN INCIDENT, IF, GOD FORBID, WE HAD A SHOOTING AIRPLANE CRASH, WE COULD GO INTO THE BLOOD AND TISSUE CENTER 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND GET AS MUCH TITER BLOOD AS WE COULD CARRY THAT WOULD'VE PAID DIVIDENDS IN SUTHERLAND SPRINGS OR ANY OTHER INCIDENT THAT FUTURE THAT WE WOULD RESPOND ON. 
          SO, UM, WHOLE BLOOD IS AMAZING. 
          IT'S A MIRACLE, AND I'M GLAD WE STARTED AT FIRST. 
          YOU SHOULD BE ALSO WELLNESS. 
          SO WE TALK ABOUT WELLNESS, AND I TALKED EARLIER ABOUT THE TACTICAL ATHLETE AND, AND, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE FIT. 
          ANOTHER WAY, AND I'LL DROP RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM, IS A PSYCHOLOGIST. 
          AND SO WE HAVE, UH, RESILIENCY PROGRAMS. OUR FIREFIGHTERS, UH, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, AND PARAMEDICS SEE SOME HORRIFIC THINGS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THEIR MOTOR IS FUELED UP AND THAT THEY'RE RUNNING, AND, UM, THAT THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE CARRYING THIS, THIS TRAUMA WITH THEM? WE HAVE A FULL-TIME PSYCHOLOGIST. 
          WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AS FAR AS MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN HELP OUR MEMBERS OUT, WHETHER IT'S PEER COUNSELING, WHETHER IT'S OUR CHAPLAIN PROGRAM, WHICH WE HAVE SEVERAL CHAPLAINS ON SHIFT EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT WE CAN CALL THEM OUT AND UTILIZE THEM. 
          WE, UH, DO A LOT OF TRAINING TO OUR MEMBERS. 
          AND SO THE EMOTIONAL HEALTH FOR OUR MEMBERS IS AS IMPORTANT AS A PHYSICAL FITNESS, PHYSICAL FITNESS EQUIPMENT AT EVERY FIRE STATION. 
          OUR MEN AND WOMEN, WE WANT THEM TO WORK OUT. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRES WE'VE HAD THE LAST TWO WEEKS WITH THIS HEAT, YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF ONE FIREMAN BEING TRANSPORTED BECAUSE OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES. 
          YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF ONE FIREFIGHTER BEING TRANSPORTED 'CAUSE OF HEAT EXHAUSTION. 
          AND THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE PHYSICAL FITNESS OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
          AND SO WE'LL GO RIGHT INTO CANCER. 
          WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO CANCER, CANCER IS A, UM, CANCER IS A FIXTURE IN THE FIRE SERVICE NOW. 
          AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE WAY THINGS ARE CONSTRUCTED, AND I, I THINK I MENTIONED THIS LAST NIGHT AT A, AT THE COUNCILMAN'S MEETING, COUNCILMAN'S PERRY'S MEETING. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT A HOUSE WITH LEGACY FURNITURE AT THAT, AT AN OLD HOUSE, THAT FURNITURE'S GONNA BE MADE OUT, MADE OUT OF WOOD. 
          IT'S GONNA BE STUFF WITH COTTON, UM, PAPER, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          IF YOU GO INTO A HOUSE NOW AND YOU BUY SOMETHING FROM WAYFAIR, IT'S CHEAP AND IT'S EASY TO GET BECAUSE IT'S FILLED WITH STYROFOAM, IT'S FILLED WITH POLY CARBS, IT'S FILLED WITH VARNISHES AND LACS AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT BURN. 
          WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS IN THOSE THINGS. 
          SOMETIMES THOSE, THOSE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION. 
          AND SO WE HAVE REALIZED THROUGH THE FIRE SERVICE THAT CANCER IS AN ISSUE, UM, THROUGHOUT WHEREVER YOU ARE. 
          SO WE HAVE DONE A LOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN SEAL OUR STATIONS UP. 
          ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS DIESEL FUMES GOING IN SOME OF THESE OLDER STATIONS, YOU'RE SITTING THERE HAVING A NICE MEAL. 
          THE LADDER GETS A CALL, THEY PULL OUT, THEY BLOW DIESEL FUMES ALL INTO THE, TO LIVING AREAS. 
          AND SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. 
          OUR NEW STATIONS ARE DESIGNED WITH A WARM ZONE, HOT ZONE, CO ZONE DESIGNED. 
          OUR, UM, OLDER STATIONS HAVE BEEN CLOSED UP TO WHERE WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY OF THOSE, UM, PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION GOING INTO THE STATIONS. 
          WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS A DIESEL EXHAUST CAPTURE SYSTEM. 
          THIS WAS, UH, PLACED 
          [01:10:01]
IN ALL OF OUR STATIONS. 
          SO EVERY VEHICLE, WHETHER IT'S AN AMBULANCE OR FIRETRUCK, HAS A DIESEL CAPTURE SYSTEM. 
          SO THAT IS BASICALLY TAKING THOSE DIESEL FUMES AND SUCKING THEM UP AND BLOWING THEM THROUGH A VENTILATION SYSTEM OUT OF THE STATION THROUGH THE ROOF. 
          UM, OUR QUARTERMASTER IS UP AND RUNNING, AND SO THAT MEANS WE HAVE TWO SETS OF BUNKER GEAR FOR EVERY FIREFIGHTER. 
          SO IF WE HAVE A FIRE AND THOSE FIREFIGHTERS ARE COVERED WITH SOOT, LIKE THAT VIDEO SHOWED AT THE BEGINNING, WE'RE GONNA GET THEM OUT OF THOSE, UH, TURNOUTS. 
          WE'RE GONNA PUT NEW TURNOUTS ON THEM AND GET THOSE TURNOUTS CLEANED AND BACK IN SERVICE AS QUICK AS WE CAN. 
          MOST DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTRY DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE TWO SETS OF BUNKER GEAR. 
          ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING IS, UM, HAVING A CLEAN CAB. 
          SO THOSE BOTTLES THAT YOU SEE ON THAT SLIDE OUT, THOSE BOTTLES ARE NORMALLY IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. 
          THEY'RE IN THE BACK OF THE SEATS. 
          AND SO WHEN YOU'RE RIDE INTO A FIRE, YOU'RE GONNA PUT THAT BOTTLE ON. 
          THE PROBLEM IS THAT THAT BOTTLE, THOSE BOTTLES ARE HARD TO CLEAN. 
          THE STRAPS ARE HARD TO DECONTAMINATE. 
          AND SO WHAT WAS HAPPENING IS WE'RE MAKING THE INSIDE OF OUR RIG DIRTY. 
          WHEN WE ARE DRIVING IN IT ALL DAY WITH OUR GROCERIES OR GOING ON CALLS OR GOING TO TRAINING OR INSPECTIONS, WE'RE DRIVING AROUND WITH THOSE, UH, BOTTLES IN THE BACK THAT POTENTIALLY COULD BE BLEEDING OUT OR OFF-GASSING COMPONENTS FROM A FIRE. 
          SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS MOVING ALL OF THOSE BOTTLES TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RIG AND MAKING OUR CABS AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO WE HAVE DONE AN, AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF WORK IN OUR CANCER PREVENTION. 
          ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS, WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MAIZE, UH, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MAYS CANCER CENTER. 
          WE HAVE A PROJECT WITH THEM TO WHERE WE ARE LOOKING AT THE EFFECTS OF CANCER. 
          WE ARE, UM, HAVING ADDITIONAL TESTING AND SCREENINGS DONE FOR OUR MEMBERS. 
          AND SO, AGAIN, THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR THIS ORGANIZATION. 
          I KNOW IT'S A PROJECT, IT'S, IT'S A PRIORITY FOR MR. WALSH. 
          ALSO, PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS. 
          WE HAD A FEW FIRES LAST YEAR THAT WERE MULTIPLE ALARM FIRES. 
          SOME OF THEM WERE IN YOUR DISTRICTS. 
          AND, UM, THEN WE HAVE THE, UH, CAVE RESCUE. 
          SO THIS SLIDE IS A LOT CLEANER THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR WHEN I STOOD UP HERE. 
          SO NOT A LOT OF MAJOR FIRES, BUT AGAIN, IT WAS AN ACTIVE FIRE YEAR FOR US. 
          ACTIVE SHOOTER. 
          SO ACTIVE SHOOTER, FOR US, IT'S AN INTEGRAL PART OF WHAT WE DO EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          AS MUCH AS WE TRAIN FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION ACTIVITIES, WE TRAIN FOR ACTIVE SHOOTER. 
          THAT IS NOT A QUESTION OF IF, IF IT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN THE CITY, IT'S ONLY A QUESTION OF WHEN. 
          AND HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR THAT? HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GO IN A SITUATION UNDER FORCE PROTECTION AND TRY TO REMOVE AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN? SO WE HAVE SPENT ABOUT $700,000 ON BALLISTIC GEAR. 
          WE HAVE 35 FIRE COMPANIES IN THE CITY THAT HAVE BALLISTIC GEAR ON THEM, 21 LADDERS AND 14 ENGINE COMPANIES. 
          ALL OF OUR COMMAND OFFICERS HAVE BALLISTIC GEAR. 
          YOU SEE IN A LOT OF CITIES THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PROTECTION, SO THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO EVEN GET CLOSE TO A BUILDING. 
          WE WORK REALLY HARD WITH PD AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ON TRAINING. 
          WE HAVE CREATED RESCUE TASK FORCES TO WHERE WE CAN GO IN WITH PD BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA PROTECT US. 
          YOU'VE SEEN INCIDENTS WHERE IN ORLANDO, UM, THEY COULDN'T GET IN UNKNOWN HOW MANY PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE DIED BECAUSE THEY WERE SHOT IN THE LEG, SHOT IN THE ELBOW, THEY BLED TO DEATH. 
          AND SO WE DO NOT THAT, WE DO NOT WANT THAT TO BE PART OF OUR LEGACY IN THIS CITY. 
          SO BETWEEN THE BALLISTICS, THE R T F TRAINING, THE WHOLE BLOOD, UH, WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN A GOOD PLACE. 
          BUT AGAIN, OUR MAIN, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. 
          WE'VE DONE NUMEROUS DRILLS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WORKING WITH OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT THEY ARE TRAINED UP AND WE'RE KIND OF MEETING EACH OTHER'S EXPECTATIONS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS. 
          WHAT YOU'RE SEEING OVER TO MY RIGHT ON THAT SLIDE IS OUR FUSION CENTER. 
          YOU SEE ONE OF OUR PARAMEDICS IN THERE, BUT IT IS A COLLECTION POINT OF, OF INFORMATION. 
          IT GIVES US LEVERAGE ON REAL WORLD EVENTS. 
          IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR FIRE COMPANIES OR POLICE OFFICERS TO REPORT SOMETHING UP TO FUSION. 
          IF SOMETHING GOES ON UP THERE. 
          THEY CAN BASICALLY GEOFENCING AREA AND LOOK AT SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE KNOW ARE PROBABLY GONNA HAPPEN IN AN ACTIVE SHOOTER. 
          SO WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE THAT. 
          WE ALSO ARE AVAILABLE ARE, ARE, ARE, HAVE THE ABILITY FOR ANY OF OUR LARGE SCALE EVENTS SUCH AS FIESTA FINAL FOUR. 
          WE CAN MONITOR THOSE LARGE SCALE EVENTS FROM, UM, THE FUSION CENTER VIA CAMERA AND INTELLIGENCE. 
          SO DEVELOPING STANDARD THREAT ASSESSMENT PROTOCOLS, BASICALLY FOR THESE TYPE OF INCIDENTS. 
          WE HAVE DONE THAT. 
          WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF, UH, DOING A 
          [01:15:01]
COORDINATED COMPLEX ATTACK CLASS THIS WEEK, WHICH WOULD LOOK AT MORE THAN ONE EVENT. 
          AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE NOT SEEN. 
          WE HAVE SEEN ONE SHOOTER, WE HAVEN'T SEEN AN EVENT WHERE THERE ARE MULTIPLE INCIDENTS GOING ON WITHIN THE CITY. 
          WE HAVE NOT SEEN WHERE THEY HAVE INTRODUCED FIRE INTO AN AN, AN INCIDENT. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP THREAT PROTOCOLS, MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN RESPOND ON, WHICH WOULD BE ONE OF THE WORST DAYS IN THIS CITY'S HISTORY INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          UH, YOU SEE OUR SERVICE DIVISION, PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT E O C AND OUR TRAINING ACADEMY, WE HAVE ABOUT 700,000 SQUARE FEET OF FOOTAGE, SQUARE FOOTAGE. 
          WE HAVE MORE BUILDINGS AND PROPERTY THAN ANY DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY. 
          SO AGAIN, WE ARE MANAGING THAT, UH, EFFECTIVELY. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT OUR FIRE STATIONS COMPLETED, UH, STATION 32 53, STATION TWO, UH, COUNCILWOMAN AND I WENT OUT TO, UH, STATION TWO THE OTHER DAY, AND THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY. 
          FIRE STATION 42 IS GOING TO BE COMING ONLINE, UH, SOMETIMES LATER IN AUGUST. 
          FIRE STATION 24. 
          WE'RE GONNA BE BREAKING GROUND FOR THAT EVENTUALLY. 
          THAT IS ONE OF OUR BUSIER AREAS. 
          ALSO, THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN IMPROVE RESPONSE TIMES IS TO HAVE BIGGER STATIONS TO WHERE I CAN ADD EQUIPMENT. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT STATION 24 ON HOUSTON HIGHWAY, ON AUSTIN HIGHWAY, I'M SORRY, UM, I ONLY HAVE ROOM FOR TWO PIECES OF EQUIPMENT. 
          I I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BEDS. 
          SO BY BUILDING A LARGER STATION, WHICH ALL OUR STATIONS AVERAGE ABOUT 14,000 SQUARE FEET, I CAN ADD ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO WHAT AREA WE ARE LOCATED IN THIS CITY IN EMBEDDING EQUITY, WE TALKED ABOUT OUR, UM, M I H PROGRAM AND WE, WE BELIEVE THAT THAT BRINGS VALUE TO ALL OF OUR CITIZENS THROUGHOUT THIS CITY, BUT ESPECIALLY IN MORE OPPRESSED, UM, AREAS OF, OF, OF THE CITY. 
          ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE WORKING FOR IN 2020 IS A HOARDING TASK FORCE. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THAT PICTURE, COULD YOU IMAGINE THAT HOUSE ON FIRE? COULD YOU IMAGINE TRYING TO GET OUT OF IT? AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE. 
          SO WE'VE HAD FOUR FIRE FATALITIES THIS YEAR. 
          THEY HAVE ALL HAD SOME DYNAMIC OF HOARDING, AND WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT PICTURE UP. 
          I SEE Y'ALL LOOKING AT, WE DIDN'T MAKE IT UP. 
          AND, UH, WE HAVE HAD FOUR FIRE FATALITIES AND HOARDING HAS BEEN AN INVOLVEMENT WITH ALL OF THEM. 
          IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE CITIZEN TO GET OUT. 
          WE HAD A 49 YEAR OLD MAN DIE IN A HOARDER HOME. 
          IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. 
          AND IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO GET IN BECAUSE A FUEL LOAD IS SO HEAVY. 
          USUALLY BY THE TIME WE GET THERE, IT'S IN A SITUATION OR A STATE THAT NO ONE WOULD SURVIVE. 
          THAT FIRE CAUSES HUGE FUEL LOADS, WHICH ALSO IS AN EXPOSURE PROBLEM FOR THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR. 
          SO WE'RE WORKING WITH SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN, UH, IDENTIFY HOARDERS. 
          SOMETIMES IT'S, IT'S, UM, BEHAVIORAL. 
          SOMETIMES IT'S SPIRIT OF POVERTY TO WHERE THEY WANT TO GET EVERYTHING. 
          AND WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE LIKE THAT. 
          SO HOW CAN WE IDENTIFY THEM AND HOW CAN WE HELP THEM PUT ORDER IN THEIR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND ENSURE A SAFER HOUSE FOR THEM? HERO, LIKE HER GREAT EVENT WE HAD A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, SOME OF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT THERE. 
          WE HAD 50 YOUNG LADIES THAT WERE TRAINED OVER TWO WEEKENDS BY A FULL FEMALE STAFF, WHETHER IT WAS ARSON, SPECIAL OPERATIONS, PUMP OPS, ANYTHING THAT WE DID, LEADERSHIP, IT WAS DONE BY FEMALES. 
          AND I'M SO PROUD OF THIS PROGRAM. 
          IT'S GONNA PAY DIVIDENDS AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO, AND WE BELIEVE THAT FIREFIGHTERS OUGHT TO MIRROR THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY SERVE. 
          WE WANT TO GIVE OUR FEMALES IN THIS COMMUNITY A HEADSTART BY CREATING A PROGRAM LIKE THIS TO WHERE THEY WANT TO BE FIREFIGHTERS AND WE'RE GONNA DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP THEM BECOME FIREFIGHTERS. 
          WE JUST HAD AN ENGINEER LIST. 
          WE HAD THREE FEMALES IN THE TOP 10, SO WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THAT. 
          SO THIS WAS A GREAT PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, STATION 44, UH, FOR AN ENHANCED SQUAD. 
          MOST OF YOU HAVE HEARD THAT SQUADS RUN OUT OF MULTI-COMPANY STATIONS WITH AN ENGINE AND A LADDER. 
          THIS IS OUR BUSIEST ENGINE COMPANY IN THE CITY. 
          WE'RE GOING TO ADD A FIREFIGHTER TO THAT, UH, STATION, AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM A SQUAD, WHICH IS A PILOT. 
          WE KNOW THAT THE NUMBERS ARE GONNA DICTATE THAT. 
          IT'S A, IT'S A SUCCESS, UH, BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AT THAT STATION TO HELP OUT WITH SOME OF THE E M S CALLS THAT WILL ALSO ELIMINATE SOME OF THE OTHER RESOURCES THAT ARE RUNNING INTO STATION 40 FOURS AREA, AND THEY CAN STAY BACK AND PROTECT THEIR OWN AREA. 
          INCOMING TRAINING, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. 
          YOU LOOKING AT A SHOT OF THE DEEM CENTER, UH, WHEN IT COOLS OFF, WE'D LIKE TO GET YOU TO COME OUT AND TRAIN, BUT WE NEED ADDITIONAL, UH, OFFICERS AT THE TRAINING ACADEMY TO HELP CONDUCT SURVIVABILITY TRAINING. 
          SOME OF THESE THINGS WERE MANDATED FROM THE SCOTT DEEM, UH, INCIDENT. 
          AND 
          [01:20:01]
SO WE ARE ADDING AN INCUMBENT TRAINING POSITION, RECORDS MANAGEMENT, UM, 6,000 REQUESTS ANNUALLY. 
          UH, WE HAVE NEVER HAD A POSITION FOR THAT, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 
          THEN THE DATA SALES SERVICE REDUCTION, UH, THAT IS AGAIN, IS ELIMINATING USAGE ON, ON SOME OF OUR EQUIPMENT. 
          $1.5 MILLION IN FURNITURE, FITNESS EQUIPMENT, BUNKER GEAR AND STRETCHERS. 
          OUR STRETCHERS ARE RATED ABOUT 750 POUNDS. 
          THEY'RE POWERLESS. 
          STRETCHERS. 
          THIS HAS ELIMINATED KNEE INJURIES, BACK INJURIES FOR OUR PARAMEDICS, AND, UH, 1.1 MILLION IN NEW VEHICLES. 
          UM, COUPLE OF ENGINE COMPANIES. 
          AND THEN 751 FOR THE CLEAN CAB INITIATIVE, MOBILE DOCKING STATIONS AND VENTILATORS. 
          THOSE ARE PICTURES OF THEM RIGHT THERE. 
          LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          NEW ENGINES. 
          YOU CAN SEE THAT NEW HAZMAT TRUCK FOR STATION 34, NEW COMMAND BUS. 
          WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. 
          THIS COMMAND BUS HAS OUT USED THIS LIFESPAN WITH TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES. 
          WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A BIG MOBILE COMMAND CENTER THAT ANY AGENCY IN THIS REGION CAN USE TO WHERE WE HAVE A COMFORTABLE PLACE FOR YOU TO SHOW UP, FOR US TO BRIEF YOU. 
          AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER PIECE OF OUR EQUIPMENT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANKS, CHIEF. 
          I THINK WE'RE GONNA STOP RIGHT THERE BEFORE WE GET TO MUNICIPAL COURT AND GO THROUGH SOME QUESTIONS FOR POLICE AND FIRE. 
          SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND START, UH, WITH THAT, UM, CHIEF, CHIEF MCMANUS. 
          CHIEF, WOULD YOU MIND COMING UP? THANK YOU BOTH FOR THOROUGH PRESENTATIONS. 
          UM, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT SLIDE IT WAS CHIEF, BUT YOU WERE, UH, VERY CLEAR. 
          THERE'S, THERE'S ALWAYS COMPARISONS BETWEEN CITIES, BUT, UM, YOU'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT HOW YOU SEE OUR DATA AS BEST USED TO COMPARE OUR OURSELF OURSELVES VERSUS HISTORIC PERFORMANCE. 
          UM, YOU SOWED THE SLIDE OF, UH, JANUARY THROUGH JULY U C R NUMBERS. 
          WHERE ARE WE ON TRACK IN TERMS OF OUR NUMBERS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS? UH, SO FAR THIS YEAR WE'RE SLIGHTLY UP IN OUR CRIME. 
          UH, WE HAVE NOT, UH, WE HAVEN'T SEEN, UH, UH, WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF ROBBERIES, A LOT OF, UH, UM, AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS FOR VIOLENT CRIME. 
          SO WE'RE UP A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR SO FAR. 
          OKAY. 
          COMPARED TO SAME PERIOD PREVIOUS YEAR? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          WE RE REMINDER THOUGH THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A 16% REDUCTION LAST YEAR, UH, WHEN YOU'RE COMING OFF A, A YEAR THAT GOOD. 
          IT'S HARD TO, UH, BEAT YOUR OWN NUMBERS SOMETIME. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDERS, AND I APPRECIATE THE, THE WORK Y'ALL ARE DOING, UH, WITH OUR, UH, COALITION AND THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AREA. 
          UM, WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION IS SHARING IS DONE BETWEEN DIFFERENT AGENCIES WHEN A, UH, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE IS, IS, UH, OPENED? WELL, UH, I MEAN EITHER SS A P D OR IN THE COUNTY, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WOULD HANDLE IT. 
          BUT IF THERE'S A PROTECTIVE ORDER SOUGHT, WE WILL, WE WILL GUIDE THE VICTIM TO THE FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER AND THE FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER TAKES IT FROM THERE. 
          WE HAVE DETECTIVES AND WE HAVE TWO DETECTIVES IN THE FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER. 
          AND WHAT HAPPENS, UH, IF THERE'S A, A, A CALL FOR DV AND I, I STILL, UM, IT'S SEARED IN MY MIND. 
          UH, THE RIDEALONGS THAT I'VE BEEN ON, 99% OF THE CALLS ARE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, FAMILY VIOLENCE CALLS. 
          WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A, A DISRUPTION IN THE HOME ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN ARREST OR NOT, UH, AND THERE'S FOUND TO BE WEAPONS IN THE HOME. 
          WHAT'S THE PROTOCOL THERE? IF THERE'S NO ARREST, UH, THERE'S NO PROBABLE CAUSE FOR ARREST. 
          UH, WE WON'T, WE WON'T DO ANYTHING WITH THE WEAPONS. 
          IF THERE IS AN ARREST, THEN WE WILL TAKE THOSE GUNS THAT ARE, THAT ARE EITHER POINTED OUT TO US OR THAT ARE IN PLAIN VIEW. 
          AND IS THAT JUST A, IT'S A DIRECTIVE, UH, FROM YOUR OFFICE TO DO THAT? OR IS THAT, IS THAT FOLLOWING SOME OTHER PROTOCOL? IT'S PRETTY MUCH STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, ON THE ASSET SEIZURE, UM, CURRENTLY, HOW, HOW ARE THOSE FUNDS BEING USED? THEY USED TO BUY EQUIPMENT. 
          UH, THE USE FOR TRAINING, ANY, ANY NUMBER OF THINGS THAT RELATE TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, ARE RELATED TO, TO, TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          UM, THE QUESTION WE HAD FROM A COMMUNITY GROUP IS, CAN WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE FUNDS TO DO CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS? AND THAT'S, UH, THAT WAS A FIRST TO ME. 
          UM, SO WE CHECKED WITH, UH, CITY ATTORNEY. 
          CITY ATTORNEY SAID THAT WE WERE 
          [01:25:01]
OKAY TO DO THAT, TO USE THOSE FUNDS IN THAT CAPACITY. 
          SO IN CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND MY BOSS, UH, WE, UM, WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE A COMPETITIVE PROCESS TO DISTRIBUTE SOME OF THOSE FUNDS. 
          OKAY. 
          MAYOR, UH, LET ME JUST ADD A LITTLE BIT ON THAT. 
          SO THE, THE RULES AROUND HOW WE SPEND OR HOW WE CAN SPEND ASSET SEIZURE FUNDS ARE PRETTY TIGHTLY CONTROLLED, BOTH AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THE FEDERAL LEVEL. 
          UM, ONE OF THE BIG EXPENDITURES IN THAT CONFISCATED PROPERTY FUND, THAT ASSET SEIZURE FUND IS WE PAY THE DEBT SERVICE ON THE FACILITY THAT WE ARE IN, UH, IN DISTRICT FIVE NEAR THE, UH, COLLINS GARDEN AREA. 
          SO ALL THE, WHEN WE, WHEN THE CITY PURCHASED THAT BUILDING AND RENOVATED IT, THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE OUR, OUR MAIN PROPERTY ROOM. 
          WE PAY THE DEBT SERVICE ON THAT BUILDING. 
          SO, UH, YOU KNOW, TO THE CHIEF'S POINT, AN ELEMENT THAT IS AN ELIGIBLE EXPENSE ARE COMMUNITY CRIME PREVENTION STRATEGIES. 
          AND WE'VE NEVER TRIED THAT BEFORE, AND WE WANTED TO TRY THAT. 
          UH, THIS YEAR, UH, ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE MAIN RULES ASSOCIATED WITH ACID SEIZURE IS THAT WE CANNOT SUPPLANT LAW ENFORCEMENT SPENDING FROM THE GENERAL FUND, WHICH MEANS IF, IF WE WERE GONNA BUY, UM, A CAR OR SOMETHING FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND, WE CAN'T REDUCE IT OUTTA THE GENERAL FUND AND, AND, AND PAY FOR IT OUT VASCULAR SEIZURE. 
          IT'S GOTTA BE FOR AN ADDED LEVEL OF EQUIPMENT, NEW EQUIPMENT, NEW INITIATIVES. 
          UM, AND SO THO THOSE RULES ARE, ARE HIGHLIGHTED UNDER BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL LAW. 
          AND IS THAT, THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE MAY, UM, OPEN IT UP TO SOME, SOME SORT OF COMPETITIVE PROCESS? IS THAT GOING THROUGH THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE? IT HAS NOT YET. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK THEY NEED TO, YEAH, THEY SHOULD HAVE A BRIEFING ON, ON HOWEVER THAT CHANGE IS GONNA OCCUR. 
          UM, GREAT. 
          I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          UH, CHIEF KE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. 
          OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO, UM, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A REPORT BACK ABOUT THE EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDERS AND ANY UPDATES THAT YOU CAN GIVE US IN TERMS OF NUMBERS THERE. 
          UM, WE'RE VERY INTERESTED. 
          SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANKS A LOT. 
          CHIEF. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UM, CHIEF HOOD, ARE YOU, TELL ME A BIT ABOUT THE, UH, NEW COMMAND CENTER. 
          HOW IS THAT GONNA BE UTILIZED? THAT, THAT, THAT'S NEW TO THIS YEAR'S BUDGET? THE MOBILE COMMAND CENTER? YES. 
          THE VEHICLE, YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT IS COMING THROUGH THE U OSSA FUNDING THAT WE'RE GETTING? PART OF THAT IS, YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WHERE IS THAT GOING TO BE DEPLOYED? UM, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE OUR CURRENT VEHICLE AT TECHNICAL SERVICES AT CHERRY AND NOLAN. 
          SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN AN EVENT TODAY, IF WE NEEDED ONE? ACTUALLY, WE HAVE TWO VEHICLES. 
          SOMEONE FROM OUR, UM, DISPATCH CENTER, THEY WOULD TAKE THAT VEHICLE OUT THERE. 
          OUR INCIDENT COMMANDERS WOULD MAN THAT VEHICLE. 
          AND SO WE WOULD SET IT UP. 
          SO THERE'S SOME AREAS THAT WE SAY ON AN APARTMENT FIRE WE MIGHT NOT BRING IT OUT TO, BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE TOO TIGHT TO FIT IN, BUT WE HAVE SOME TYPE OF LARGE SCALE EVENT. 
          IT'S GOT SLIDE OUTS. 
          WE'RE GONNA OPEN THAT THING UP AND OPERATE IT JUST LIKE WE WOULD DO WITH THE COMMAND BUS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. 
          WE HAVE THE ABILITIES TO HAVE MASS CAMERAS, MULTIPLE, UM, UM, OF THE ABILITY TO DOWNLINK INFORMATION BACK TO THAT COMMAND CENTER AGAIN. 
          BUT IT'S A SECURE ENVIRONMENT. 
          SO IF YOU HAD AN ACTIVE SHOOTER, LARGE SCALE INCIDENT, WE'RE GONNA BRING THAT THING OUT, SET UP A PARKING LOT, AND, UH, MANAGE IT AND PROTECT IT WITH THE, UM, TORNADOES THAT WE HAD, IF WE'D HAD A LARGE SCALE, UH, INCIDENT WHERE WE HAD A BUNCH OF HOUSES WHERE WE HAD TO RUN AN AREA COMMAND, WE WOULD BRING THAT OUT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE ALWAYS DEPLOY THEM FOR FIESTA, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE'VE GOT 'EM SITTING IN SOME OBSCURE SITE SECURED, AND WE ARE MANAGING THAT INCIDENT THROUGH THAT COMMAND VEHICLE. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU OTHER THAN JUST TO COMPLIMENT BOTH OF YOU AND YOUR TEAMS FOR ALL THE GREAT WORK THAT YOU DO. 
          THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, OUR MEASURE IS TO SEE HOW WE'RE DOING ON, ON SERVICE DELIVERY, UH, RESPONSE TIMES, AND OBVIOUSLY CRIME AND, AND FIRE RATES FOR THE CITY. 
          SO, UH, GREAT JOB AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. 
          THANK YOU GUYS. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          UM, COUNCILMAN, HOWEVER, TO CAB HEART. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, THANK YOU TO BOTH S A P D AND OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS FOR RISKING YOUR LIVES EVERY DAY TO PROTECT US. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAMILIES, UH, TO YOUR FAMILIES AND THE STAFF THAT SUPPORTS YOU. 
          WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO EVERY DAY. 
          UM, CHIEF MCMANUS, YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WILL BE A REQUEST FOR AN EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDER IN, UH, CASES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. 
          WILL THAT REQUEST OCCUR IN EVERY SINGLE ARREST? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND HOW LONG IS AN EMERGENCY? IS, IT'S NOT A, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM A T R O, RIGHT? YEAH, IT'S, IT'S, I BELIEVE IT'S GOOD FOR ONLY 48 HOURS. 
          UH, 
          [01:30:01]
OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WILL THEY BE, UH, WILL THE, THE VICTIMS OF THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE BE SORT OF SHEPHERDED OVER TO HOW THEY CAN GET A TEMPORARY ONE OR EVEN A PERMANENT? YES, MA'AM. 
          OKAY. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I THINK THAT'S EXCITING. 
          WE, WE, ANY, ANYTIME THERE'S, THERE'S A VICTIM, WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE GUIDED AS TO HOW TO PURSUE THE CASE AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED TO GO TO THE FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER IN ORDER TO PUSH FOR A, UH, PROTECTIVE ORDER. 
          GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, MY NEXT SERIES OF QUESTIONS REVOLVE, UH, REVOLVES AROUND SAFE OFFICERS. 
          THE, UM, HOW MANY NEW SAFE OFFICER RULES WILL BE FUNDED IN THIS BUDGET CYCLE? 10. 
          AND SO IS THAT ONE PER DISTRICT? NO, IT'S, IT, UH, WE HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT EXACTLY HOW IT'D BE DIVIDED. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT LOOKING AT THAT, THAT DENSITY MAP AND THE CIRCLES AROUND THERE, WE WOULD LOOK TO PUT THEM IN THOSE AREAS PRIMARILY. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS CAME UP AT, WHEN YOU CAME TO DISTRICT SIX AND SPOKE WITH OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, SOME OF THE, THE CONSTITUENTS HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT SAFE OFFICERS BEING PULLED FROM THEIR SAFE OFFICER DUTY OVER INTO OTHER AREAS. 
          I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S MANY DEMANDS ON THE, A TIME OF AN OFFICER, BUT, UM, IS THERE ANY ASSURANCE THAT, THAT, THAT WON'T HAPPEN OR THAT WOULD BE MINIMIZED? THESE NEW SAFE OFFICERS WOULD NOT BE PULLED? THEY ARE STRICTLY FOR CRISIS RESPONSE TEAMS. UH, THEY ARE, UM, AGAIN, THE, THE, THE WORK THAT THEY WOULD BE DOING WOULD BE ASSISTING THOSE CIVILIAN C R T WORKERS IN, IN, UH, BEING PROACTIVE AND GOING OUT TO THOSE, TO THE VICTIM'S HOUSES. 
          UH, WE CAN'T LET THEM GO OUT THERE BY THEMSELVES BECAUSE IT, THE POTENTIAL FOR DANGER IS TOO HIGH. 
          AND THEN THEY WOULD BE GOING TO COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO TALK ABOUT FAMILY VIOLENCE AND, AND, AND, UH, INSTRUCT PEOPLE WHO WERE IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS ON MAYBE IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS ON HOW TO GET OUT OF IT AND WHAT SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM. 
          SO IT'D BE TO EDUCATE AND PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC, PUBLIC AS WELL, ON FAMILY VIOLENCE ISSUES. 
          OKAY. 
          I JUST WANNA MAKE THE COMMENT THAT SA UH, SAFE OFFICERS IN DISTRICT SIX ARE VERY EFFECTIVE. 
          THEY, UH, THEY KNOW THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          THEY REALLY ARE, IN A LOT OF CASES, THEY'RE THE FACE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO CONSTITUENTS OF DISTRICT SIX. 
          AND THAT IN A GOOD WAY. 
          AND YOU MENTIONED THEY GO TO COMMUNITY MEETINGS, THEY HAVE BUILT A LOT OF TRUST. 
          SO I, I REALLY WANNA DO WHAT WE CAN TO CONTINUE TO GROW THAT PROGRAM. 
          AND THAT, THAT WAS ACTUALLY, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE, UH, THAT WE WERE, UM, TOUTED ON BY THE D O J ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH SPECIFICALLY SAFE. 
          GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, CHIEF. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          THAT'S ALL. 
          AND, OR, I'M SORRY, FOR CHIEF UH, HOOD, PLEASE. 
          THANK YOU, CHIEF FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE ACCREDITATION. 
          I KNOW THAT'S NO SMALL FEAT. 
          AND, UM, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO DO MORE TO LET OUR COMMUNITY KNOW ABOUT THE WONDERFUL THINGS AND ACCREDITATIONS AND, AND PRIZES AND ALL, ALL OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS GET, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT WE DO ENOUGH TO GET THAT OUT THERE INTO THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND I THINK THAT IT HELPS, YOU KNOW, THAT, UM, TO ALSO ESTABLISH TRUST IN, IN OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND CONGRATULATIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MY MAIN CONCERN FOR FIRE IS ZONE 44 IN DISTRICT SIX. 
          UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT 44 IS THE BUSIEST IN THE CITY, IS THAT TRUE? IT'S THE BUSIEST ENGINE COMPANY IN THE CITY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          IT'S NOT THE BUSIEST STATION. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S THE BUSIEST ENGINE COMPANY IN, IN THE CITY ENGINE. 
          CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT DISTINCTION? OKAY. 
          SO THE BUS, THE DISTINCTION IS, SO STATION 32 IS GOING TO BE MY BUSIEST STATION BECAUSE I HAVE A PLATFORM LADDER TRUCK AND A SQUAD AND AN ENGINE AND A MEDIC UNIT. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE FOUR PIECES OF EQUIPMENT. 
          THEY'RE ALL TOTALING CALLS. 
          SO STATION 44 HAS AN ENGINE AND A MEDIC UNIT. 
          SO AGAIN, VERY BUSY AREA, BUT THEY'RE THE BUSIEST ENGINE COMPANY, NOT THE BUSIEST FIRE STATION, BUT THAT AREA IS EXTREMELY BUSY. 
          IF I HAD MORE RESOURCES OVER THERE, THAT MIGHT BE THE BUSIEST, BUT THE BUSIEST FIRE STATION IS STATION 32 IN THE MEDICAL CENTER. 
          BUSIEST ENGINE IS STATION 44. 
          SO WHAT THAT CAUSES, WHEN ENGINE 44 IS OUT OF SERVICE, THEY'RE MISSING CALLS. 
          AND SOMEBODY ELSE FROM 36 IS 30 THREES, 26 IS 30 FIVES, 40 FIVES IS RUNNING INTO THAT VORTEX RIGHT THERE OF, OF CALLS. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT, THAT'S REALLY WHERE MY CONCERN LIES. 
          THE PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT TO 44 INCLUDES, UH, I UNDERSTAND. 
          A PEAK MEDIC UNIT. 
          IS THAT RIGHT? NO, MA'AM. 
          OKAY. 
          WILL YOU EXPLAIN? OKAY. 
          IT'S GONNA BE A SQUAD. 
          OKAY. 
          YOUR MEDIC UNIT IS A FULL-TIME MEDIC UNIT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , YOU'RE GONNA BE GETTING A SQUAD. 
          SO SQUAD IS A, UH, PICKUP TRUCK OR S U V THAT WE HAVE AT EVERY MULTI-COMPANY STATION, WHICH WOULD BE THE STATION WITH AN ENGINE AND A LADDER. 
          SO IT'S 24 STATIONS THAT HAVE SQUADS. 
          I HAVE EIGHT PEOPLE THAT I CAN ROTATE ONTO THAT SQUAD. 
          SO I CAN TAKE ONE OFF THE LADDER, ONE OFF THE ENGINE, AND THEN THE ENGINE IN THE LADDER IS STILL RUNNING WITH 
          [01:35:01]
THREE PEOPLE. 
          AND THEN I CAN SEND THE SQUAD OUT ON SOME LOWER LEVEL TYPE OF E M S RUN. 
          OBVIOUSLY WOULDN'T, WE WOULDN'T SEND 'EM ON A CAR ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING VIOLENT BECAUSE WE WOULD SEND ONE OF THE BIGGER TRUCKS. 
          BUT I DON'T HAVE, UM, A SITUATION LIKE THAT IN A CITY WHERE I HAVE A SQUAD. 
          SO WHEN WE ARE OVERSTAFFED, WE'LL NORMALLY SEND ANOTHER FIREFIGHTER TO 40 FOURS OR NINETEENS, AND THEY WILL WORK ON THAT SQUAD. 
          THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO TAKE A FIREFIGHTER OFF THE ENGINE AND PUT THEM ON A SQUAD, AND THEY CAN RUN ANOTHER CALL. 
          SO THIS IS SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW TO US AS A PILOT. 
          WE KNOW IT'S GONNA WORK. 
          UH, AND IT, IT'S NOT, WE CAN PARK THAT SQUAD, EITHER BACK IT IN OR PARK IT OUTSIDE. 
          IF WE HAD ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD AND WE HAD A BIGGER STATION, THEN WE'D BE ASKING TO PUT A LADDER TRUCK OR ANOTHER ENGINE IN 40 FOURS. 
          THIS IS, THIS PILOT WILL HELP SOLVE SOME OF THOSE RUNS. 
          I THINK WHEN WE COME BACK NEXT YEAR, YOU'RE GONNA SEE A, AN IMPROVEMENT WITH 40 FOUR'S OVERALL RESPONSE TIME. 
          AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA SEE A, UH, REALLY GOOD VALIDATION ON WHY A SQUAD WOULD WORK. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THIS IS, THIS PILOT PROGRAM IS STARTING THERE AT 44? YES, MA'AM. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO IT IS, IT'S FULL-TIME THOUGH. 
          IT'S GONNA YES, MA'AM. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, AND WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE PULLING FROM DIFFERENT STATIONS, THAT'S, SO WHEN I SAY PULLING FROM OTHER STATIONS MEANS THAT IF ENGINE 44 IS OUT ON A CALL, LADDER 36 HAS TO COME IN AND RUN IN THEIR AREA OR ENGINE 35 OR PLATFORM. 
          SO WE WANT TO INCREASE THEIR AVAILABILITY OF ENGINE 44 BY ADDING A SQUAD, BECAUSE IF THAT ENGINE IS OUT, SOMEBODY ELSE IS GONNA BE RUNNING INTO THAT AREA. 
          DOES THE SQUAD INCLUDE AN ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT? THE SQUAD WILL HAVE SOME ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT ON AS FAR AS A, UH, A E D, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          BUT IF THE CALL'S COMING IN AS A CARDIAC ARREST OR DROWNING, THEY'RE GONNA TAKE THE ENGINE. 
          OKAY. 
          THEY'RE GONNA TAKE THE ENGINE. 
          SO THAT JUST GIVES THEM FLEXIBILITY. 
          SO, AND IF IT'S A HOUSE FIRE, THEY'RE GONNA TAKE ALL FIVE GUYS AND PUT 'EM ON THAT ENGINE. 
          SO THIS IS JUST GOING TO ALLOW US MORE FLEXIBILITY ON E M S RUNS. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU, CHIEF. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER KIO. 
          HDA, COUNCIL MEMBER PIA. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CHIEF MCMANUS. 
          UM, EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I, LAST YEAR I'D ASKED YOU A QUESTION AND I, AND HONESTLY, I JUST DON'T REMEMBER THE ANSWER. 
          UH, AND IT'S PROBABLY, 'CAUSE I HAD MY BELL RUNG THIS THIS WEEK, BUT, UM, I HAD SOME DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT EVERY ONE OF OUR OFFICERS HAD BEEN EQUIPPED WITH, UH, A TASER, UH, YOU KNOW, A A A ON THEIR BELT. 
          IS THAT, IS THAT ACROSS THE BOARD, UH, HAPPENING OR ARE WE, ARE WE JUST ASSIGNING THEM OUT? BECAUSE THERE'S A LIMITED NUMBER OF THEM WHEN, WHEN YOU GRADUATE FROM THE ACADEMY, YOU ARE ISSUED A TASER. 
          IF YOU LEAVE PATROL AND MOVE TO A DETECTIVE POSITION, WE MAY TAKE YOUR TASER BACK IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO ISSUE PATROL. 
          OKAY. 
          IS IT, UM, IS, IS, IS THERE A REASON FOR NOT GIVING EVERY OFFICER A TASER? BASICALLY IT'S COST. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          AND, AND, AND DETECTIVES ARE NOT GONNA CARRY. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, YOUR NINE UNIFORM DETECTIVES ARE NOT GONNA CARRY TASERS ANYWAY. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANKS CHIEF. 
          THAT, THAT'S IT. 
          AND THEN CHIEF HOOD, UH, I GOTTA TELL YOU, UH, YOUR PRESENTATION, UH, REALLY, UM, RESONATED WITH ME BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AND SOME OF THE FOLKS IN THIS ROOM KNOW THAT LAST MONTH WE ALMOST LOST MY DAD. 
          UM, AND, BUT FOR TWO OF YOUR FIREFIGHTERS, UH, TWO OF YOUR EMTS SHOWING UP, UM, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE MY DAD TODAY. 
          AND THEY SHOWED UP JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME. 
          AND YOU KNOW, WHAT REALLY WORRIES ME IS THAT WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC FROM A QUALITY OF LIFE PERSPECTIVE. 
          YOU KNOW, IT'S ANNOYING TO BE IN TRAFFIC AND PEOPLE ARE UPSET THAT THEY'RE STUCK IN TRAFFIC JAMS. BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT IS, WHAT IS CLEAR TO ME NOW IS THAT IT'S ALSO A LIFE AND DEATH PROBLEM. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I, I'VE ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER OR NOT OUR TRAFFIC PROBLEMS ARE ALSO CAUSING DELAYS IN AMBULANCES GETTING WHERE THEY NEED TO BE GETTING ON TIME. 
          I, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'VE BEEN SEEING MORE OF? UM, TRAFFIC IS ALWAYS GONNA BE A CHALLENGE DURING RUSH HOUR. 
          UM, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING WHERE IT'S COMPLETELY DELAYED US FROM GETTING SOMEWHERE, BECAUSE WE CAN'T GO IN THE OPPOSITE LANES. 
          WE CAN MANEUVER AROUND TRAFFIC. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE THOUGH, AND ESPECIALLY UP AT WITH THE BUILDING OF STATION 32, IF, IF, YOU KNOW, THAT INTERSECTION AT CALLAHAN AND BABCOCK, WE GOT THAT STATION OFF OF THAT CORNER. 
          SO THAT'S GOING TO, IT'S EASIER TO RESPOND OFF OF A SIDE STREET SO WE CAN GET OUT INTO TRAFFIC. 
          AND SO THAT WAS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR US AS FAR AS THAT INTERSECTION. 
          SO YOU NEVER WANT TO BUILD A STATION 
          [01:40:01]
IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. 
          SO THAT HELPED ALLEVIATE THAT. 
          UM, TRAFFIC IS A CHALLENGE FOR US. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          BUT WE JUST FIND A WAY TO MANEUVER AROUND IT. 
          I HAVE, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING WHERE, OKAY. 
          WE JUST, WE CAN'T GET THROUGH AND IT WAS GRIDLOCKED. 
          UM, THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO, CHIEF. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I, I APPRECIATE THE ANSWER. 
          GLAD YOUR DAD'S DOING WELL. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ME TOO. 
          THANKS, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN PEZ, COUNCILWOMAN JADA, ANDREW SULLIVAN, UH, CHIEF MCMANUS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM THAT SERVICE OUR COMMUNITIES IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          UM, THE QUESTION I HAS HAVE FOR YOU IS, AS FAR AS WITH THE UCS UNDER THE SITE AND RELEASE WHEN IT COMES TO THEFT, HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT OUR NUMBERS, IF ANY WAY WITH THE U C R R AT ALL IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT? IT WOULD NOT. 
          IT WOULD NOT. 
          OKAY. 
          AWESOME. 
          THAT'S THE ONE THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT THING I HAVE AS FAR AS WITH THE SAFE OFFICERS, I KNOW THAT DISTRICT TWO AND DISTRICT THREE, UM, WE KIND OF SHARE OUR SAFE OFFICERS AS OF RIGHT NOW WITH THE NEW SAFE OFFICERS THAT ARE COMING ON. 
          WILL WE BE SHARING THEM IN RETROSPECT TO DISTRICT TWO AND DISTRICT THREE AS WELL? YES, MA'AM. 
          THE, THE SAFE OFFICERS ARE ASSIGNED ACCORDING TO THEIR SUBSTATION, BUT NOT, NOT COUNCIL DISTRICT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AS FAR AS WITH THE, THE PROTECTIVE ORDERS AND VIOLATIONS OF THOSE PROTECTIVE ORDERS, WHAT IS THE, OR WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED RESPONSE TIME THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THOSE VIOLATIONS? SINCE WE'RE IMPLEMENTING THE NEW SAFE OFFICERS? SPECIFICALLY FOR, UH, THE ISSUE OF, OF FAMILY VIOLENCE AND, AND CRIME OF THAT NATURE? A A RESPONSE TIME FOR A VIOLATION OF A PROTECTIVE, PROTECTIVE ORDER. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UH, I'M NOT, I DON'T HAVE THAT BROKEN DOWN TO THAT, UH, DEGREE COUNCILWOMAN. 
          OKAY. 
          BECAUSE I KNOW NORMALLY THERE'S A 24 HOUR PERIOD OR THE VIOLATOR HAS TO ACTUALLY BE ON THE PREMISES, OR BEING THE ACT OF COMMITTING THAT BEFORE A PROTECTIVE ORDER IS ACTUALLY ACTED UP ON. 
          WILL THAT NOW KIND OF BE SUBSIDED WITH THE NEW SAFE OFFICERS THAT WILL BE IN PLACE? SAY THAT AGAIN, COUNSEL. 
          OKAY. 
          THEY HAVE TO BE ON THE PREMISES FOR 24 HOURS. 
          WELL, NORMALLY, OKAY. 
          IN MY CASE WITH MY PROTECTIVE ORDER, HE HAD TO BE IN THE ACT OF BEING THAT IT WAS A 24 HOUR WINDOW AND HE WASN'T FULLY ACTIVE IN THE ENGAGEMENT OF A VIOLENT OFFENSE AT THAT MOMENT, NO ONE RESPONDED. 
          YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN THE, IN THE ACT OF A VIOLENT OFFENSE FOR, FOR THE VIOLATION TO OCCUR. 
          IT SIMPLY HAS TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THE PROTECTIVE ORDER BY HIS MERE PRESENCE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHEN SOMEONE CALLS AND SAYS THAT THE THREAT HAS BEEN MADE AGAINST THE, THE PROTECTIVE ORDER, WILL THE SAFE OFFICER THEN GO TO THAT, THAT PREMISES? NO, NO. 
          IT, IT WOULDN'T BE A SAFE OFFICER, IT WOULD BE A, AN OFFICER IN A PATROL VEHICLE CHIEF, I BELIEVE. 
          UM, CITY ATTORNEY WANTS TO SPEAK. 
          UH, YES. 
          COUNCILMAN, TO HELP, UH, ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION ABOUT RESPONSE TIME. 
          I THINK CHIEF ALREADY ANSWERED IT, BUT, UH, IT, IT DEPENDS ON, OBVIOUSLY ON HOW THE PROTECTIVE ORDER IS WRITTEN AS TO WHEN IT'S VIOLATED. 
          BUT WHEN SOMEBODY CALLS, THE RESPONSE TIME, AS CHIEF SAID, WOULD NOT BE BASED ON WHAT THE SAFE OFFICER, BUT ON THE PEOPLE PATROLLING AND THEY'LL RESPOND CONSISTENT WITH THE RESPONSE TIME THAT CHIEF HAD PRESENTED EARLIER. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN LAST, AND, UH, FINAL CHIEF, AS FAR AS WITH THE EMERGENCY ORDERS THAT ARE, UH, GIVEN AT THE TIME OF ARREST, WILL THAT ACTUALLY HELP WITH GETTING THE PERMANENT PROTECTIVE ORDER IN PLACE AFTER THAT 48 HOURS IS UP? COUNSEL AND I, I DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN, BUT I WOULD THINK THAT, THAT THE FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER WOULD, UH, REVIEW ALL THE FACTS AS THEY NORMALLY DO ON, ON, ON A PROTECTIVE ORDER, WHETHER THERE'S EMERGENCY ONE IN PLACE OR NOT, I THINK THAT THEY WOULD REVIEW, UH, THEIR PROTOCOL IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY CONSIDER, UH, UH, VALID REASONS FOR A PROTECTIVE ORDER. 
          I, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEIR SYSTEM WORKS THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE. 
          UH, COUNCILMAN, UM, CAN, LEMME FOLLOW UP 'CAUSE, 'CAUSE AS PART OF THE FOLLOW UP THAT WE DO FROM THESE WORK SESSIONS, UM, MAYBE I WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR QUESTION IS THAT WAY. 
          WE, WE INCLUDED IN THE, IN THE REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL THIS WEEK, YOUR LAST QUESTION TO THE CHIEF WAS EXACTLY WHAT, WHEN IT COMES TO THE EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDER THAT'S GIVEN AT THE TIME OF ARREST MM-HMM. 
          , UM, I THINK YOU SAID IT'S ONLY GOOD FOR 48 HOURS IF, WHEN THAT PROTECTIVE ORDER IS OVER, DOES THAT EXPEDITE 
          [01:45:01]
A PERMANENT PROTECTIVE ORDER THAT IS GIVEN TO THE VICTIM OF, OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE? OKAY. 
          WE'LL FOLLOW UP AND MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THAT, UH, RESPONSE IN WRITING TO YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILWOMAN JADA, ANDREW SULLIVAN, UH, COUNCILMAN PERRY HASLER. 
          ALRIGHT, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU MA'AM. 
          CHIEF, THANK YOU FOR, FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          YES, SIR. 
          AND I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS HERE FOR YOU. 
          YES, SIR. 
          SO, UH, UM, LET'S START ON YOUR SLIDES. 
          UH, SLIDE NUMBER TWO. 
          OKAY. 
          2,463 SWORN POSITIONS. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TODAY. 
          NOT, NOT THE NEXT BUDGET. 
          HOW MANY ARE FILLED? THAT'S, THAT'S ACTUALLY, UH, INCLUDING THE, UH, THE, UH, NEW C R T SERGEANTS AND THE 10 SAFE OFFICERS. 
          SO IT'S ACTUALLY 24 47. 
          OKAY. 
          47. 
          SO 24 47. 
          AND I WAS KIND OF LOOKING FOR THAT SLIDE TODAY TO SHOW WHAT THE AUTHORIZATIONS WERE VERSUS WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE FILLED TODAY. 
          UH, SO OUTTA THAT 24 47, HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY FILLED? THERE ARE 29, 24, 23, 24, 23 ARE FILLED. 
          24, 23. 
          AND SO I KNOW IN A B SESSION, PRIOR, YOU KNOW, WITH THE, WITH THE SIZE OF THE CLASSES AND ALL THAT STUFF, WE WERE GONNA BE AT A HUNDRED PERCENT MAN MANNING. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND AT WHAT POINT IN TIME WERE WE GONNA BE AT A HUNDRED PERCENT? MAN, WE WERE A HUNDRED PERCENT ON JULY 8TH. 
          AND THEN FOR A COUPLE DAYS, I, I DON'T, WE WERE, I THINK TWO OVER ON JULY 8TH. 
          AND THEN, UH, AS PEOPLE LEAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT NUMBER'S VERY FLUID. 
          AS PEOPLE LEAVE, UH, THE VACANCIES ARE GONNA GO UP. 
          NOW WE HAVE A CLASS OF, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE 70, 72 THAT WILL BE IN THE NEXT CLASS IN SEPTEMBER. 
          SO WE WILL SHOOT WAY OVER THAT MARK. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT YOU'RE, YOU'RE ASSUMING THAT THE RETIREMENTS AND PEOPLE GETTING OUT IS GONNA NOT CHANGE, WHEREAS WE'RE STILL GONNA HAVE RETIREMENTS AND PEOPLE GETTING OUT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT CLASS GRADUATING? CORRECT. 
          BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE, IT'S NOT GONNA BE THE, THE NUMBER WILL NOT BE SO GREAT THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE A GOOD CUSHION THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHEN WILL WE BE AT A HUNDRED PERCENT AGAIN, COUNCILMAN, YOU TRY TO PIN ME DOWN ON THIS EVERY TIME. 
          , WE'LL BE OVER A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          OKAY. 
          ON OUR, ON OUR NEXT CLASS IN JULY. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S THE 24TH. 
          SEPTEMBER 28TH. 
          28TH, WE'LL BE OVER A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          NOW, AGAIN, AS, AS ATTRITION AFFECTS US, THOSE NUMBERS FLUCTUATE. 
          UH, AND, AND AS YOU KNOW, WHEN SOMEONE LEAVES, WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANOTHER UNIFORM TO FILL THAT SPOT. 
          THEY HAVE TO COME OUTTA THE ACADEMY. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE A POINT HERE, CHIEF, ABOUT, YOU KNOW, COMPARING THE, AND I DON'T WANT TO COMPARE, BUT THE, JUST THE NUMBERS OF WHAT WE HAVE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, FILLED VERSUS AUTHORIZED AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WE'RE FILLED AND AUTHORIZED. 
          WE'RE NORMALLY AT A HUNDRED PERCENT IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALL THE TIME. 
          IN FACT, WE GOT A WAITING LIST, I THINK AROUND 2000 PEOPLE TO GET INTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
          UH, AND IT ALL GOES DOWN TO RECRUITING, TRAINING AND GETTING THEM INTO THE FIELD. 
          SO I, I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO, YOU KNOW, DO WHAT WE CAN ON THE RECRUITING TO GET ADDITIONAL FOLKS INTO THE CLASSES. 
          IT'S GREAT TO HEAR THE 70 NUMBER, BUT WHAT ACTUALLY GRADUATES AT THE END OF THE, AT THE SESSION IS USUALLY MUCH LESS THAN WHAT ENROLLS TO BEGIN WITH. 
          20%. 
          SO ISH. 
          UM, JUST WANT TO WANT, YES. 
          I'M TRYING TO PIN YOU DOWN EVERY TIME ON WHEN ARE WE GONNA BE AT A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          AND THERE'S STILL THIS, AND I, I DON'T AGREE WITH COUNTING THE CADETS AGAINST OUR AUTHORIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT OUT THERE ON PATROL. 
          THEY'RE, UH, HOW LONG ARE THEY PATROLLING WITH SOMEONE ELSE? SIX MONTHS, 14 WEEKS. 
          THEY'RE IN THE, THEY'RE IN, THEY'RE IN THE ACADEMY FOR, UH, UH, 17, I'M SORRY, FOR, UH, SIX, SEVEN MONTHS. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THEN THEY RIDE ALONG. 
          YES. 
          HOW LONG? I THINK IT'S 17 WEEKS. 
          17 WEEKS, 14 WEEKS. 
          ONE OF THOSE TWO. 
          SO I STILL DON'T AGREE WITH COUNTING THEM AGAINST THOSE VACANCIES BECAUSE THEY'RE REALLY NOT OUT THERE PATROLLING ON THEIR OWN. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE STILL DURING THAT TRAINING, TRAINING PERIOD. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S THAT GRAY AREA THAT WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE, BUT I JUST DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE COUNTING THOSE. 
          SO I'M STILL LOOKING AT THIS AS THOSE POSITIONS BEING VACANT UNTIL THEY'RE ACTUALLY ASSIGNED AND THEY'RE ON THEIR OWN. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S THE WAY I, I LOOK AT THAT AND I, I'M PRETTY SURE 
          [01:50:01]
OTHERS AGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL IN TRAINING. 
          THEY'RE NOT OUT PATROLLING ON THEIR OWN. 
          COUNCILMAN PERRY, UH, THE CITY MANAGER WANTS TO CHIME IN. 
          SURE. 
          OH BOY. 
          HERE WE GO. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          WELL, I WAS JUST GONNA, WE, I WASN'T SURE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THE SLIDE. 
          THIS WAS A, A BACKUP SLIDE AND I WANTED TO JUST KIND OF REORIENT, UH, BACK TO YOUR POINT, COUNCILMAN, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE GOT A, A DEPARTMENT THIS LARGE, ANY, ANY LARGE CITY IS GONNA BE DEALING WITH THE PIPELINE OF INDIVIDUALS AND ENSURING THAT WE'VE GOT TRAINED FOLKS THAT ARE READY TO TAKE THE JOB. 
          AND THE CHIEF, UM, UNLIKE, UH, NO OFFENSE TO TROY ELLIOTT, UNLIKE, UH, THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, WHEN AN ACCOUNTANT LEAVES, WE POST FOR AN ACCOUNTANT AND YOU ORIENT THEM AND YOU GET 'EM IN THERE PRETTY QUICKLY. 
          UM, THERE'S A LONGER LEAD TIME TO YOUR POINT, BUT, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHART, WE ACTUALLY HAVE MORE FILLED POSITIONS NOW THAN WE'VE EVER HAD, AT LEAST AS FAR BACK AS THAT CHART GOES NOW. 
          UH, AND I SHARED WITH, UH, THE DISTRICT 10, UH, RESIDENTS LAST NIGHT. 
          I WAS SPEAKING TO THE CITY MANAGER AT DALLAS SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WHO HAS 500 VACANCIES. 
          SO I, I'M THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND IT'S BEEN A PRIORITY FOR THIS COUNCIL TO FILL OUR EXISTING POSITIONS. 
          AND, AND, UH, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF TARGETING GOOD QUALIFIED APPLICANTS. 
          UH, AND UM, YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CHIEF MARIA AND I TALK ABOUT EVERY MONDAY, WHERE'S OUR COUNTS. 
          UH, I GET THIS, THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED, BUT I GET THIS INFORMATION EVERY WEEK AND, AND WE ARE FOCUSED IN MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT, UH, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE. 
          AND, AND YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THE CONVERSATION IS, IS THAT I'M OKAY IF HE GOES OVER A LITTLE BIT. 
          WE'LL FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT BECAUSE TO YOUR POINT EARLIER, PEOPLE WILL RETIRE. 
          UM, AND, AND THAT'S BEEN THE, THE, THE POSITION WE'VE PUT OURSELVES IN ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SIDE, IT'S, IT MEANS A LOT MORE ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SIDE FROM A COST PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE, BECAUSE OF THE STAFFING ARRANGEMENTS, UH, A VACANCY CREATES OVERTIME, UH, ON THE FIRE SIDE. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO MANAGE THROUGH THAT. 
          BUT THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 
          I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU, YOU SAW. 
          NO, THAT'S GREAT. 
          NO, I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS, UH, BACKUP SLIDE HERE. 
          IT'S, UH, I'M, I'M, I'M TRYING TO GET ALL THIS STUFF TO COMPARE ON, UM, WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN SAN ANTONIO AND, AND YOU BROUGHT UP OTHER CITIES THAT, UH, WE'RE RATED THE 15TH SAFEST CITY. 
          UM, OR WHAT WAS THAT? ONE OF THE TOP 15 POLICE DEPARTMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          ONE OF THE TOP 15 POLICE DEPARTMENTS. 
          OKAY, I GOT YOU. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT ARE THOSE OTHER 14 CITIES AND HOW DO WE COMPARE TO THEM? WHAT ARE THEY DOING THAT WE'RE NOT DOING ON THOSE 14 CITIES? WE'RE, WE'RE THE SEVENTH LARGEST. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, I I, I'M INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT THOSE OTHER 14 CITIES ARE AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING THAT PUTS THEM IN THAT POSITION. 
          I WANT TO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GREAT FOR Y'ALL TO BE AT THAT POSITION, BUT WHAT CAN WE DO TO IMPROVE THAT POSITION AND WITH THE STATISTICS, UH, ACROSS, LET'S SEE, ON THOSE COMPARISONS, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS, UM, TOP CITIES VIOLENT CRIME AND TOP CITIES PROPERTY CRIME ON SEVEN AND EIGHT, UM, UH, IT'S INTERESTING ON THE VIOLENT CRIME THAT THE ONLY TEXAS CITY HIGHER THAN US IS HOUSTON. 
          I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER TEXAS CITIES ON THAT CHART. 
          DOES THAT MEAN THOSE TEXAS, OTHER TEXAS CITIES ARE BELOW DALLAS IS ON THERE AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          MISS THAT. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE RIGHT. 
          WE'RE AHEAD OF DALLAS AND HOUSTON THEN? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ALTHOUGH, ALTHOUGH I'M NOT, I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF A HEAD IS. 
          WELL, LESS, LESS CRIMES PER A HUNDRED THOUSAND. 
          IF, IF YOU COULD COMPARE, AND I, AND I, AND I HARP ON THIS FOREVER, IF YOU CAN COMPARE, UH, U C R CRIME WITH HOW SAFE A CITY IS, THEN YES, WE'RE BEHIND THEM. 
          RIGHT. 
          WELL, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR A WHILE, IS THAT OUR COMPARISON WITH OTHER CITIES TO SEE HOW WE RANK AND THE, THE, THE, THE DATA POINT THAT I'M STILL NOT SEEING IS NOT, NOT ONLY WHAT OUR CRIME STATISTICS ARE, BUT WHAT IS OUR MANNING COMPARED TO OTHER CITIES PER 100,000 PEOPLE, HOW MANY OFFICERS DO WE HAVE COMPARED TO HOUSTON OR DALLAS OR AUSTIN OR FORT WORTH? THOSE, THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS I'M INTERESTED IN ALSO, BECAUSE THESE ALL HAVE RELATIONAL RELATIONSHIP. 
          I CAN'T EVEN SEE IT SAY IT, BUT THEY RELATE TO EACH OTHER 
          [01:55:01]
ON HOW MUCH YOU'RE INVESTING IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WHERE YOUR CRIME IS AND HOW MANY POLICE OFFICERS THERE ARE OUT THERE PATROLLING ON THE STREET. 
          SO THAT'S A DATA POINT THAT I'D STILL LIKE TO SEE ALSO IS, YOU KNOW, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE POUR PER, OH, IS THIS A BACKUP SLIDE? AWESOME. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THIS IS, THIS TELLS A STORY HERE, AND IF YOU COMPARE THAT AGAIN TO THESE OTHERS, AND I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE TO COMPARE TO THESE OTHER, OTHER CITIES ON THESE OTHER STATISTICS, SHOULD WE BE INVESTING IN ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATIONS TO BRING DOWN OUR CRIME RATE ACROSS THE BOARD, WHETHER IT'S PROPERTY CRIME OR VIOLENT CRIME? THAT'S THE POINT. 
          I'M TRYING. 
          ALL OF THESE RELATE TO EACH OTHER CHIEF, AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO GET TO IS ARE WE AT THE RIGHT NUMBER COMPARED TO OTHER CITIES AND THEIR SUCCESS ON KEEPING CRIME DOWN? THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO DIG INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH YOU AND SEE IF THERE'S, THERE'S SOME ROOM TO GROW AND I KNOW YOU'D LOVE TO GROW, BUT AGAIN, IT'S HOW MUCH RESOURCES YOU'RE PUTTING TOWARDS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          AS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ACROSS THIS CITY WANT SAFETY AND SECURITY BOTH ON THE FIRE AND POLICE SIDE. 
          SO THEIR, YOU KNOW, THAT IS THEIR TOP PRIORITY. 
          I, I THINK WE'VE SEEN THAT IN THE QUESTIONNAIRES THAT WE'VE SENT OUT ALSO. 
          SO ARE WE INDEED GIVING THE TAXPAYER WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR? DOES THAT, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE ON THAT SORT OF, OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL LET'S SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT THAT MORE. 
          SURE. 
          GREAT. 
          YES MA'AM. 
          I'M SORRY, COUNCILMAN. 
          I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT, UM, TO YOUR DIRECT QUESTION ON THIS SLIDE IN FRONT OF YOU, THE CITY OF DALLAS AND HOUSTON HAVE MORE POLICE OFFICERS PER THOUSAND, HOWEVER, THE VIOLENT CRIME CRIME IS HIGHER THAN SAN ANTONIO. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S THE COMPARISONS THAT I WANT TO DO HERE. 
          WE HAVE OTHER, YOU KNOW, THAT'S DALLAS AND HOUSTON, BUT WHAT ABOUT LIKE, AUSTIN, WHAT ABOUT FORT WORTH, EL PASO, YOU KNOW, THOSE, THOSE AREAS AS THOSE OTHER CITIES AS WELL. 
          SO, UM, AGAIN, LET, IF WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, THAT'D BE GREAT, CHIEF, APPRECIATE IT. 
          SURE. 
          LET'S GO BACK TO, UH, SLIDE FIVE AND SIX, THE VIOLENT CRIME TASK FORCE AND THEN, UM, THE CRIME OVERALL DECREASES. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND THIS IS, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE METRICS ON TRACKING WHAT EFFECT THE SITE AND RELEASE PROGRAM WILL HAVE ON THESE STATISTICS. 
          BECAUSE E EVEN ON THE VIOLENT CRIME NARCOTICS CHARGES, WE'RE GONNA BE DOING AWAY A LOT WITH THAT, WITH MISDEMEANORS, WITH THE, YOU KNOW, UM, MARIJUANA AND OTHER DRUGS AS WELL ON THE AMOUNTS. 
          SO THAT'S GONNA DECREASE THAT. 
          I, I'M VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT THOSE METRICS ARE COMPARED TO THESE ON WHAT IS IT DOING OUT THERE TO OUR POPULACE WITH THE SITE AND RELEASE PROGRAM AND WHAT IS IT, WHAT IS IT GAINING US? SO I KNOW WE'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION AFTER THE BUDGET PROCESS. 
          WE'LL SIT DOWN AND TAKE A LOOK AT HOW DO WE TRACK THOSE METRICS ALSO. 
          SURE. 
          UM, OKAY, ON SLIDE NUMBER NINE, CAN YOU GO INTO THE RESTRICTED FUNDS AND WHY THERE'S AN INCREASE THERE? AND THE SAME WITH GRANTS. 
          WHY GRANTS GOING DOWN AND CAPITAL PROJECTS GOING DOWN? COUNCILMAN OUR RESTRICTED FUNDS IS COMPRISED OF, UH, TWO FUNDS, WHICH IS CONFISCATED PROPERTY AND ALSO OUR, OUR CHILD SAFETY FUND. 
          THE INCREASE PRIMARILY IS WE ARE BUYING SOME ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE CONFISCATED PROPERTY FUND. 
          THE CHIEF MENTIONED THAT WE ARE INVESTING ABOUT $2.1 MILLION TO REPLACE THE LAPTOPS AND DO SOME DUAL DUAL ROUTERS AT OUR, UM, IN OUR POLICE VEHICLE. 
          SO A PORTION OF THAT COST IS COMING OUT OF THE CONFISCATED PROPERTY FUND IS SPECIFICALLY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. 
          SO THAT IS THE MAJORITY OF THE INCREASE. 
          UM, ON THE GRANTS, UH, THE, THE PRIMARY REDUCTION IN THE GRANT, THERE'S TWO, THERE'S THREE GRANTS, TWO ARE ONE-TIME GRANTS THAT WE GOT, UH, TO DO SOME UPGRADES, UH, TO OUR, UH, RECORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, UH, SPECIFICALLY THE NEIGHBORS, UH, GRANT, UH, THAT WE ARE GONNA BE 
          [02:00:01]
APPLYING FOR THAT NEXT YEAR. 
          WE STILL HAVE SOME FUNDS FOR THE GRANTS THAT WE RECEIVED LAST YEAR, SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT APPLICATION NEXT YEAR. 
          AND ALSO THE, UM, IS IT THE TAG GRANT THAT IS NOW MANAGED DIRECTLY BY THE STATE AND THE, AND THE FUND ZONE COME DIRECTLY TO THE CITY? SO THOSE ARE THE CHANGES ON THE GRANTS. 
          AND THEN ON THE CAPITAL PROJECTS, WE UM, HAD SOME REPLACEMENT LAST YEAR OF SOME OF THE IN-CAR VIDEO CAMERAS FOR OUR, UH, OFFICERS WHERE ON THE LAST YEAR OF THE REPLACEMENT FOR THAT THREE YEAR CYCLE. 
          SO THERE'S A REDUCTION IN THE FUNDING FOR THAT REASON. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU MARIA. 
          UM, LET'S SEE. 
          I'M JUST MAKING SURE I'M HITTING ALL THE SLIDES NOW. 
          I HAVE SOME NOTES HERE. 
          UM, WE TALKED ABOUT MANNING VERSUS AUTHORIZATIONS METRICS. 
          UH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT. 
          THE ASSET FORFEITURE FUND ACCOUNT. 
          HOW MUCH IS IN THAT ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW? ONE SEC. 
          SO FOR 2019, COUNCILMAN, UM, THE TOTAL REVENUES IS ABOUT 1.7 MILLION AND WE'RE SPENDING ABOUT $1 MILLION OF THAT IN A FUND BALANCE OF 2.8. 
          THAT'S AS OF THE END OF 2019. 
          FOR 2020, OUR ESTIMATED ENDING BALANCE IS 2.2 MILLION. 
          SO A LITTLE OVER 2 MILLION. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          GREAT. 
          AND WE'RE GONNA BE LOOK ACTIVELY LOOKING AT OTHER AREAS THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY SPEND THAT MONEY FOR OUR TAXPAYERS OUT THERE ON IMPROVING OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY. 
          OR ARE WE GOING TO TRY TO KEEP A BALANCE IN THERE? I MEAN, WHY WOULD WE KEEP A BALANCE IN THAT, THAT BUDGET? WELL, I, I THINK AS MARIA MENTIONED EARLIER, SOME OF THAT MONEY IS USED FOR, UH, DEBT SERVICE, UH, OTHER MU OTHER, UH, UH, TRAINING EQUIPMENT THAT WE WOULDN'T NOR WOULDN'T NORMALLY, UM, BUDGET UNDER THE GENERAL FUND. 
          SO, AND THEN THE, AND THEN THE REQUEST FROM THE COMMUNITY TO, UH, USE SOME OF THAT MONEY FOR, UH, UH, CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS. OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW IN THE BUDGET FOR 2020, WE'RE STILL SHOWING A, A BALANCE OF A LITTLE OVER $2 MILLION IN THAT? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          UM, RESPONSE TIMES WERE, WERE A LITTLE BIT OVER WHAT IT WAS, THE ESTIMATE FOR 2019. 
          YOU SAY 6 45 FOR OUR TARGET FOR 2020 ON SLIDE FOUR. 
          UM, WHAT, UM, WHAT WAS, WHY ARE WE A LITTLE BIT LONG ON THAT VERSUS WHAT OUR 19 ESTIMATE IS TALKING ABOUT? EMERGENCY RESPONSE SIGNS OR, YES. 
          YES. 
          SLIDE NUMBER FOUR. 
          THERE'S ABOUT A 15 SECOND DIFFERENCE THERE. 
          UH, ARE WE, WELL, I, OUR TARGET IS, IS SEVEN 15, OUR ESTIMATE IS SIX, UH, SIX 30. 
          UM, NOT SEEING WHAT OUR ACTUALS ARE IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE WE'RE OVER. 
          WELL, I I'M LOOKING AT THIS A 2019 ESTIMATE IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO, WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING ON BEING AT, AT THE END OF 2019. 
          WE, WE, WE MOVE THAT AROUND BASED ON, UH, OUR ESTIMATES ON POPULATION, ON SERVICE CALL WORKLOAD. 
          UH, IT'S JUST, UH, PRETTY MUCH A, UH, A SOMEWHAT OF AN EDUCATED GUESS ON WHERE WE NEED TO BE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHAT DOES THAT TIME ENTAIL? DOES THAT THE SECOND SOMEBODY PICKS UP A PHONE AND CALLS NINE ONE ONE UNTIL SOMEBODY SHOWS UP, OR WHAT, WHAT DOES THAT 6 45 REPRESENT THAT REPRESENTS THE TIME IT TAKES FROM THE DISPATCH OR THE CALL TAKER PICKING UP THE PHONE UNTIL THE OFFICER'S ARRIVAL ON THE SCENE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO RIGHT WHEN THE PHONE CALL HAPPENS. 
          YES. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          YOU ARE SHOWING A TARGET OF 24 20 FOR THE NUMBER OF CADET APPLICATIONS PROCESSED. 
          SO THAT'S JUST, IS THAT MEANING THAT'S HOW MANY YOU'RE EXPECTING TO GO INTO THE CLASSES OR IS THIS JUST, OKAY, THEY SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION, THEY'RE, 
          [02:05:01]
WE DON'T ACCEPT THEM. 
          APPLICANT'S PROCESSED APPLICATION'S PROCESSED. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HOW MANY ARE GONNA BE YOUR EXPECTATION GOING IN. 
          NO. 
          WHAT IS THAT? NOT BECAUSE TO ME, THE APPLICATION PROCESS REALLY DOESN'T TELL US ANYTHING. 
          I, I WANNA KNOW HOW MANY YOU'RE EXPECTING TO GO INTO THE ACADEMY FOR THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          WELL, IT'S KIND OF, IT'S KIND OF DIFFICULT TO PREDICT HOW MANY GOOD APPLICANTS YOU'RE GONNA GET OUT OF 2,400. 
          BUT WHAT'S YOUR, WHAT'S YOUR GOAL? WHAT'S YOUR TARGET ON THE NUMBER OF FOLKS TO GET INTO CLASS? COUNCILMAN? I, I THINK THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS YOU'RE ASKING US HOW MANY APPLICATIONS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL TO BECOME A CADET. 
          WE HAVE, UH, WE'RE ANTICIPATING THREE CLASSES IN 2020, SO OF 70 EACH, UM, OF THOSE CLASSES, THAT'S 210 INDIVIDUALS THAT WILL MAKE IT TO A CADET. 
          SO OUT OF THE 2100 APPLICA APPLICATIONS THAT WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL RECEIVE, WE'LL REVIEW ABOUT 210, WE'LL MAKE IT TO THOSE CLASSES. 
          OKAY. 
          NOW, IF WE, UM, NEED TO RUN AN ADDITIONAL CLASS THIS YEAR, WE RUN FOUR CLASSES, UH, THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT AS WELL AS WE MANAGE OUR, OUR VACANCIES. 
          AND WHEN WILL WE, WHEN WILL WE MAKE THAT DETERMINATION THAT WE ARE, WE'RE WE NEED TO PUT ON ANOTHER CLASS BY MID-YEAR? THE LAST CLASS THAT WE WOULD PUT IN WILL BE SEPTEMBER, LIKE WE DO IN THIS YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT WE'RE NOT PUTTING THAT IN THE BUDGET. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S A SEPTEMBER, I MEAN YEAH. 
          IS THAT WHY WE'RE NOT PUTTING THAT IN THE BUDGET? SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING THREE CLASSES AT THIS POINT. 
          AS WE MANAGE OUR, UH, PERSONNEL COUNT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE'LL COME BACK AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION IF WE NEED TO ADD ANOTHER CLASS. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, I WOULD, I WOULD'VE LIKED TO GONE AHEAD AND SEEN TO PUT IN AN ADDITIONAL CLASS BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE STILL NOT AT THAT POINT OF WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, ERIC, ABOUT HAVING THAT ABOVE THE NUMBER INSTEAD OF ALWAYS BEING TRAILING THE AUTHORIZATIONS. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I, AND I SUSPECT THAT AS, UH, AS WE DO OUR, AS I DO THE QUARTERLY UPDATES TO THE COUNCIL ON OUR, ON OUR, UH, OUR FINANCES AND OUR BUDGET, UH, WITH THAT FIRST QUARTER REPORT, UH, THAT SEPTEMBER CLASS, WE'LL HAVE STARTED, WE'LL KNOW IN DECEMBER, KIND OF WHERE WE'RE SITTING FROM A POSITION STANDPOINT. 
          SO I CAN INCLUDE THAT AS PART OF THAT QUARTERLY UPDATE TO COUNCIL IN DECEMBER. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          CHIEF, I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, CHIEF HOOD, AND THANK YOU ALSO FOR, UH, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. 
          CHIEF, LET ME GO, I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU HERE. 
          UM, MOST OF MY QUESTIONS ARE RELATED TO E M S VERSUS FIRE, AND WE'VE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, OR YES, SIR. 
          YEAH, THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR WE WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS. 
          BUT, UM, E M S VERSUS FIRE RESPONSES. 
          WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S, HOW MANY E M S RESPONSES ARE THERE, AND HOW MANY FIRE RESPONSES ARE THERE IN THIS CITY? SORRY. 
          SO SLIDE 23, UM, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS. 
          SO THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL CALLS THAT WE HAVE GONE ON, IT WAS 81%, 160,000. 
          SO I GUESS YOU'RE ASKING HOW MANY TIMES, WAS IT JUST AN E M S UNIT THAT RESPONDED? MM, YES. 
          UH, OR I GUESS ONE WAY TO ASK IT IS I'VE GOT THE ANSWER FOR YOU. 
          OKAY, SURE. 
          SO, UM, WE HAD, UM, 20,436 JUST BY E M S, AND, UH, THAT'S ABOUT 17% ONLY E M S. 
          BUT BEAR IN MIND, IF, IF YOU'RE CALLING JUST FOR AN AMBULANCE, UM, MOST OF THOSE CALLS THAT YOU'RE GONNA CALL FOR, YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOMEONE ELSE BESIDE THOSE TWO PEOPLE. 
          YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO LOOK AT THE TIME, BECAUSE THE ONLY TIME WE'RE DISPATCHING AN E M S UNIT BY THEMSELVES, IT DEPENDS ON THE RUN. 
          AND IF THEY CAN GET THERE WITHIN, SAY, FIVE MINUTES, OTHER THAN THAT, WE'RE GOING TO SEND SOMEBODY ELSE. 
          SO, UM, THE TOTAL MEDICAL RUNS THOUGH IS 160,000. 
          THE RUNS WHERE WE JUST IN AN E M S UNIT, 
          [02:10:01]
UM, THOSE ARE NORMALLY NOT CRITICAL RUNS. 
          IF THEY'VE BEEN SHOT, IF THEY'VE HAD A STROKE, IF THEY'VE HAD A HEART ATTACK, OR IF THEY ARE DROWNING, WE'RE GONNA SEND HELP WITH THEM. 
          SO IT'S VERY RARELY THAT WE ONLY SEND AN E M SS, YOU KNOW, IT'LL BE A DISSERVICE TO THE PATIENT AND IT'D BE A DISSERVICE TO THOSE MEDICS TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT PERSON. 
          OKAY. 
          AND JUST LOOKING AT THAT SLIDE, BECAUSE YOU'LL SEND A FIRE UNIT OUT FOR A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CORRECT? YES, SIR. 
          BECAUSE YOU HAVE E M S PEOPLE ON THERE. 
          SO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MEDICAL RUNS IS THAT 160,000 VERSUS THAT'S THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MEDICAL RUNS, RIGHT. 
          AND THEN, SO AM I TO TAKE THAT, THE 39,000 ARE FIRE RESPONSES? YES, SIR. 
          THOSE WOULD BE DUMPSTER FIRES, GRASS FIRES, STRUCTURE FIRES, APARTMENT FIRES, OKAY. 
          GAS LEAKS, FUEL SPILLS, UH, SOMEONE THAT FELL OUT OF BED, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THOSE ARE, SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR THE MEDICAL VERSUS THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR THE NON-MEDICAL. 
          AND, AND THE REASON I'M SAYING THAT, AGAIN, CHIEF, IS BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE SPENDING A LARGE PORTION OF OUR FIRE BUDGET ON FIRE RESPONSES WHERE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE RESPONSES ARE E M S. 
          AND TO ME, I, I, I'M STILL, IT, IT LOOKS A LITTLE, IT LOOKS UPSIDE DOWN TO ME. 
          WE SHOULD BE PUTTING MORE RESOURCES INTO THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL RUNS THAT WE'RE PROVIDING IN TOWN, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE USING HEAVY FIRE VEHICLES TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT, WHICH IS GREAT, BUT THAT'S WEAR AND TEAR ON THOSE BIG TRUCKS. 
          IT'S WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ROADS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, THOSE TRUCKS AREN'T FULLY CAPABLE OF E EM, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT A LOT MORE CAPABILITY ON THOSE E M S TRUCKS THAN YOU DO ON THE FIRE TRUCKS. 
          I, I DISAGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE CAPABILITY, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIRE TRUCK AND AN AMBULANCE IS A STRETCHER. 
          OKAY. 
          ACTUALLY HAULING SOMEBODY. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UH, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT, SO JUST LOOKING AT THE STATISTICS HERE, I'M STILL FEELING UNEASY THAT WE'RE NOT PROVIDING MORE E M S RESOURCES TO HANDLE, HANDLE THE REQUIREMENT OUT THERE WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHEN, AGAIN, YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, IT'S SKEWED WAY THAT, THAT ON THE M S SIDE, THAT'S, THAT'S CORRECT. 
          BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT REQUIRE AN AMBULANCE. 
          THEY DON'T REQUIRE A RIDE TO THE HOSPITAL. 
          AND SO IF, IF, IF I HAD A SYSTEM TO WHERE I HAD ANOTHER 10 AMBULANCES AND I'M NOT DISPATCHING FIRE ON THOSE RUNS, AND I DON'T HAVE THE EFFICIENCIES I'D RUN OUT OF 'EM EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          AND SO THIS IS A NATIONAL STANDARD. 
          THIS IS AN ACCREDITED STANDARD. 
          THIS IS THE BEST WAY FOR US TO DELIVER SERVICE TO THIS COMMUNITY BY HAVING DUAL ROLE PERSONNEL BECAUSE THAT FIRETRUCK THAT SHOWS UP AT YOUR HOUSE, THAT HEAVY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT SHOWS UP FOR THAT DROWNING, THEY MAY GO TO A HOUSE FIRE FIVE MINUTES AFTER THEY PULL OUT OF THAT SCENE. 
          SO I NEED TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY AND THE RESPONSE, I NEED TO HAVE EQUIPMENT WHEN IT'S RAINING. 
          I NEED TO HAVE EQUIPMENT TO DROP IN A CREEK TO PULL SOMEBODY OUT. 
          AND AN AMBULANCE IS NOT GONNA DO THAT. 
          I MEAN, WE HAVE LOOKED AT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT WE TRANSPORT AND WE WANNA TRANSPORT LESS. 
          WE WANNA TRANSPORT AS FEW AS WE CAN BECAUSE THAT MEANS WE'RE GIVING THEM OPTIONS. 
          BUT TO ADD MORE E M S UNITS, OF COURSE, I'LL TAKE 'EM, BUT I WOULD NEVER OUTWEIGH WHAT THAT FIRE SUPPRESSION PIECE LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE WE ARE A FIRE BASED SYSTEM. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE AMOUNT THAT WE SPENT ON E M S, IT IS $87.2 MILLION. 
          BUT THE BENEFIT OF HAVING THAT IS THAT 185,000, 185 MILLION THAT WE HAVE ON A FIRE TRUCK. 
          BECAUSE IF, IF I HAVE ALL MY AMBULANCES TODAY STACKED UP AT A HOSPITAL, THE RESPONSE TIME FOR ANOTHER AMBULANCE WOULD BE OFF OFF THE CHARTS AND YOU WOULDN'T BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT. 
          SO, UM, WE ARE A FIRE BASED SYSTEM. 
          THE MAJORITY OF OUR RUNS ARE E M S. 
          UM, WE, WE HAVE AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF AMBULANCES. 
          WE WILL ALWAYS TAKE MORE, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE WANT TO TRANSPORT LESS. 
          WELL, I GUESS WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE ON THAT AGAIN, CHIEF, BUT THAT'S FINE. 
          AND WE CAN DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR TOO, BECAUSE WE, WE HAVE FAITH IN THIS MODEL. 
          THIS MODEL HAS BEEN HIGHLY SCRUTINIZED BY MEDICAL AND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY THAT GAVE US AN ACCREDITATION. 
          AND AN ISO ONE. 
          THIS IS A BUSINESS PLAN THAT IS USED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. 
          AND SO I, I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE GONNA GET AWAY FROM 
          [02:15:01]
THAT, BUT WE WILL ALWAYS TAKE MORE E M S UNITS IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM TO US. 
          WELL, AGAIN, I'M LOOKING AT THE RAW DATA HERE WHERE IT SHOWS THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL RUNS VERSUS FIRE, AND THEN THE TOTAL FUNDING FOR FIRE VERSUS E M S. 
          AND IT, IT'S STILL, UH, I THINK THOSE NUMBERS ARE UPSIDE DOWN OR THEY NEED TO BE IMPROVED ON THE, ON THE, UH, E M S SIDE OF THE HOUSE TO RELIEVE SOME OF THAT PRESSURE. 
          YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M, THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT OF RUNS PER YEAR FOR YOUR E M S UNITS OUT THERE, CHIEF. 
          AND IF, AND IF YOU WOULD LOOK BEHIND ME TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE RIDDEN ON THOSE RIGS OR ANYBODY THAT'S FAMILIAR WITH THE SYSTEM, WE WERE RUNNING OUT OF AMBULANCES EVERY SINGLE DAY BECAUSE THIS DEPARTMENT WAS BEING RUN LIKE AN AMBULANCE COMPANY. 
          AND SO, UM, WE DON'T RUN OUT OF AMBULANCES. 
          I HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST TIME WE'VE RUN OUT OF AN AMBULANCE. 
          I'VE NOT HEARD ONE CITIZEN SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? I DIED BECAUSE AN AMBULANCE DID NOT SHOW UP. 
          THEY'RE BEING SAVED BECAUSE THERE'S A QUICK RESPONSE BY A FIRETRUCK, WHICH HAS IMPROVED OUR OVERALL A L SS RESPONSE A MINUTE AND 43 SECONDS, GETTING THERE FASTER. 
          THAT'S WHAT COUNTS. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND TO THAT POINT ON SLIDE 41, YOU HAD, UM, 1,000,001 FOR NEW VEHICLES AND UPGRADE OUTDATED VEHICLES. 
          UM, HOW MANY, HOW MANY E M S UNITS IS INCLUDED IN THAT? WE'RE NOT PURCHASING ANY E M SS UNITS AT THIS TIME, BUT WE HAVE A CONSTANT ROTATION OF E M S UNITS THAT COME INTO OUR FLEET. 
          OUR FLEET IS COMPLETELY NEW, AND SO THERE'S A LIFESPAN OF AN E M S UNIT OF FOUR YEARS, AND I GOT MY GUY THAT SPECS 'EM ALL RIGHT THERE. 
          SO OUR E M S UNITS HAVE A LIFESPAN OF FOUR YEARS. 
          I WAS IN CLEVELAND LAST WEEK, AND THEIR UNITS ARE ALL RUSTED. 
          IF YOU SEE ANY SAN ANTONIO UNIT, THEY'RE IN GREAT SHAPE. 
          WE HAVE RESOURCES TO WHERE IF ONE OF THEM IS WRECKED OR IN THE SHOP, UH, WE REPLACE THOSE UNITS. 
          SO WE HAVE A CONSTANT, UM, A, A A CONSTANT, UM, SUPPLY OF NEW E M S UNITS, BUT WE ROTATE THEM EVERY FOUR YEARS. 
          SO NOTHING NEW, NO ADDITIONAL? NO, SIR. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS BASICALLY WEEKS. 
          HOW MANY AM OS HAVE WE GIMME AN AM O STATUS, GIMME AN AM O STATUS. 
          HOW MANY NEW E M S UNITS HAVE WE FOR  20 WILL HAVE, UH, 19 REPLACEMENTS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          19 REPLACEMENTS. 
          SO WE HAVE CONTRACTS TO WHERE WE HAVE REPLACEMENTS GOING. 
          THIS IS FOR HEAVY EQUIPMENT, HAZMAT TRUCKS, ENGINES, BUT AGAIN, THAT AMOUNT OF REPLACEMENTS, THAT'S IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF NEW E M SS UNITS TO THE SYSTEMS. AND THAT WHAT WE WILL DO IS ROTATE THE OLDEST ONES OUT OF OUR RESERVE FLEET AND PUT THE ONES THAT WE'RE REPLACING INTO, INTO OUR RESERVE. 
          SO WE HAVE A RATIO OF IN-SERVICE UNITS TO RESERVE UNITS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THE REPLACEMENT IS GREAT. 
          I'M TALKING ABOUT ADDITIONAL NEW, WE'RE WE'RE NOT ADDING, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT A UNIT? YEAH. 
          AMBULANCE OR A, WE'RE NOT ADDING ANY. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S WHAT, WHAT MY QUESTION IS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, THE, AND I'D SPECIFICALLY, I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR E M S UNITS UP IN DISTRICT 10. 
          CERTAINLY IF, IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT AGAIN AT ANY TIME YOU WANT TO, UM, THE MOBILE COMMAND POST THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO PUT INTO THIS BUDGET. 
          YES, SIR. 
          HOW OLD IS YOUR CURRENT ONE? UH, THE CURRENT ONE'S PROBABLY ABOUT 15 YEARS OLD. 
          OKAY. 
          IS IT IN GOOD SHAPE? IT'S IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT TECHNOLOGY, IT'S BEEN REWORKED A COUPLE OF TIMES. 
          AND SO, UM, THE SLIDE OUTS WERE PUT IN AND, UH, IT'S GONNA MAKE MORE SENSE FOR US TO BUILD A NEW UNIT BECAUSE OF CONTINUED REPAIRS FOR THIS UNIT. 
          IT'S A BUS AND IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. 
          THIS OTHER VEHICLES ON A FIRE DEPARTMENT OR FIRE TRUCK FRAME, IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE MORE STURDY. 
          BUT THIS UNIT HAS, UH, PROBABLY OUTLIVED ITS, UH, ITS EXISTENCE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT, IS THAT A MOBILE COMMAND POST THAT EVERYBODY USES, LIKE POLICE? ARE THEY A PART OF THAT? OR WHO'S POLICE FIRE? WE SHARE IT. 
          SO IF WE HAVE A FIESTA EVENT, WE PULL OUR COMMAND VEHICLE UP AND THEY PULL THEIR VEHICLE UP AND WE SET UP AND RUN IT. 
          IF WE HAVE ANY TYPE OF EVENT, WHOEVER THE AGENCIES ARE, WE ARE GOING TO RUN IT OUT OF THIS. 
          WE HAVE HAD REQUESTS, UM, THROUGHOUT THE YEARS FOR A MOBILE COMMAND POST SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THIS REGION, UH, FOR A HURRICANE. 
          SO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEND A SECOND UNIT OUT TO RUN AN INCIDENT COMMAND, UH, LOCATION. 
          SO 
          [02:20:01]
EVERYBODY'S GONNA HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE THAT. 
          AND, UH, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO, BECAUSE WE NEED IT WITH THE, UH, WITH TECHNOLOGY AND AS FAR AS THE MULTIPLE AGENCIES THAT WE RESPOND WITH NOW. 
          SO IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD ENHANCEMENT FOR US. 
          AND, AND CHIEF, UH, MCMANUS, UH, YOU HAVE A MOBILE COMMAND POST ALSO, RIGHT? WE DO. 
          WHY DO WE NEED TWO BETWEEN FIRE AND POLICE? BECAUSE NOT EVERY, UH, NOT EVERY EVENT INVOLVES FIRE AND NOT EVERY EVENT INVOLVES POLICE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND TO BE HONEST, WE ARE GONNA USE THAT PROBABLY MORE BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE MULTIPLE ALARM FIRES THAT WE'RE GONNA RESPOND THAT TOO. 
          SO IN A LOT OF CITIES WHERE I CAME FROM IN PHOENIX, THAT COMMAND VAN RAN CONSTANTLY. 
          SO WE ARE GOING TO SEND IT TO PROVIDE A BETTER PLATFORM FOR US TO MANAGE AN INCIDENT. 
          BUT CHIEF WHAT, I'M SORRY,  ON THE, ON THE POLICE MOBILE COMMAND POST. 
          HOW OLD IS THAT ONE? OURS? YES. 
          UH, IT'S PROBABLY COMING UP ON ITS, UH, END OF LIFE PRETTY SOON. 
          MAYBE I DON'T, WELL, IF YOU ASK ME, IT'S PAST, ITS END OF LIFE. 
          I'VE BEEN ON IT IN THE RAIN AND WATER IS COMING IN THROUGH THE ROOF ON THE THING. 
          SO I GUESS MY, I'M KIND OF COUCHING THIS. 
          WE'RE GETTING A, A NEW FIRE AND THE CURRENT ONE IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, BUT THE ONE ON THE POLICE SIDE IS IN NOT VERY GOOD SHAPE. 
          BUT WE'RE, WE DON'T HAVE IT IN THE BUDGET. 
          I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU BY SAYING IT'S NOT IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. 
          IT, IT'S NOT THE, IT'S NOT NEW FOR SURE, BUT I DON'T, UH, I PROBABLY DON'T SHARE THE SAME, UH, ASSESSMENT OF IT AS YOU DO. 
          WELL, LET'S, LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. 
          AND, AND LIKE I SAID, LAST TIME I WAS IN IT, IT WAS RAINING, THE WATER WAS COMING DOWN THE WALLS AND UH, THEY HAD TO PUT A TARP OVER THE TOP OF IT TO KEEP IT FROM, UM, FROM THE RAIN COMING IN. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S NOT IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. 
          IF WE HAVE TO HAVE TWO MOBILE COMMAND POSTS, ONE FOR THE FIRE AND ONE FOR THE POLICE, I THINK, UH, WE CERTAINLY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT ONE FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AS WELL, IF WE NEED TO HAVE TWO SEPARATE COMMAND POSTS. 
          WE DO. 
          SO, UM, BOTH OF YOU THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWERS. 
          AND I, I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE OF FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS AND WE'LL GET TOGETHER AND, UH, AND GET TO THOSE. 
          THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH. 
          CHIEF HOOD. 
          CHIEF MCMANUS. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN PERRY. 
          COUNCILMAN BE AGAIN? WE GOT, CAN I JUST CLARIFY ONE THING ON THE POLICE COMMAND BUS? WE DO HAVE A NEW ONE. 
          IT'S BEING OUTFITTED WITH THE EQUIPMENT. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          WHEN'S IT GONNA BE HERE? WHEN WAS IT PAID FOR? THAT WAS IN, UM, IT WAS, IT WAS REPLACED OUTTA THE EQUIPMENT RENEWAL FUND. 
          UM, I BELIEVE IT WAS 2018, BUT WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S GOOD NEWS. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, LET ME KNOW WHERE, WHERE THAT'S AT. 
          WE'LL INCLUDE THAT. 
          THAT'S GOOD NEWS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OH, I'M DONE. 
          THANK YOU, MA'AM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN. 
          COUNCILMAN. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UH, CHIEF HOOD, I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU, FIRST OF ALL, UM, TO OUR, UM, SS A P D OFFICERS AND OUR FIREFIGHTERS. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND YOUR LOVE OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, TO, I GUESS IT'S SLIDE 28 WITH THE E M S PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS THE M I H PROGRAM, UH, CHIEF HOOD, THIS HAS BEEN AN, AN INCREDIBLE PROGRAM. 
          WELL, I KNOW DISTRICT FOUR COUNCIL MEMBER SALANI AT THE TIME AS WELL WORKED SO HARD FOR IT. 
          AND I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR, UH, AND THE, UM, FIREFIGHTERS WHO CAME TO THE, THE HOUSE TO TAKE CARE OF MY MOM AS WELL. 
          SHE'S DOING FINE AND THEY TOOK CARE OF HER AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO IN AN AMBULANCE. 
          SO IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF VERY, VERY WELL. 
          GOOD. 
          UM, I DO, MY QUESTION IS, SO THIS M I H TRAINING AND REPEAT CALLS THAT THEY GO ON IN ANY OF THESE SPECIALIZED CALLS, DO THEY GET TRAINED TO LOOK FOR CERTAIN, UM, I GUESS SIGNS FOR ELDER ABUSE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ABUSE AS WELL? ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO WE ARE LOOKING AT AS BASICALLY A WELLNESS CHECK. 
          SO DO THEY HAVE, UM, SMOKE DETECTORS? ARE THEY HOARDERS? ARE THEY REPEATEDLY FALLING DOWN? DO THEY NEED FALL PROTECTION? DO THEY NEED LIGHTS, DO YOU KNOW, ARE THEY SHOWING UP WITH BRUISES? SO WHEN WE EVALUATE THEM AND WE BASICALLY SIGN THEM UP, THE PEOPLE THAT WE SIGN UP, WE SIGN UP ABOUT 670 INTO THE PROGRAM. 
          SO WE GO SEE THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
          AND SO, UH, WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. 
          SO 
          [02:25:01]
THEY WOULD IDENTIFY ANYTHING THAT WAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WHETHER IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE OR SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE JUST LOOKING AT. 
          WE WANT ALL OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          WE PROBABLY GOING TO CLOSE TO 800 HOMES EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          AND SO WE WANT THEM TO ALL BE OBSERVANT, WHAT, WHATEVER IT IS, WHAT WHATEVER THEY SEE, WE WANT THEM TO COME BACK OUT AND FUNNEL THAT INFORMATION. 
          BUT IN PARTICULAR, THE M I H, THEY'RE GONNA COME THERE AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM SO THEY'RE GONNA UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT HOUSE AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE HOME AND HOW THAT RELATES TO THAT PERSON. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I SAW PICTURES OF CHRIS VELASQUEZ ALL OVER THIS PRESENT, CHRIS VELASQUE. 
          IT'S LIKE, CAN WE FIND ANOTHER PICTURE OF CHRIS VELASQUEZ? AND I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE HAVEN FOR HOPE. 
          YOU SAID THAT HE IS EMBEDDED THERE, AND HOW MUCH IS THAT COSTING US? I KNOW WE'RE OUT, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE, THE BALANCE OF IT INSTEAD OF HAVING A UNIT GOING OUT THERE ALL THE TIME. 
          BUT HOW MUCH IS THAT? THIS, THIS IS THROUGH A GRANT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO, BUT THE ABILITY TO HAVE SOMEONE THERE WHEN THERE'S NO CLINIC, 'CAUSE THEIR CLINIC CLOSES AT EIGHT AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE THERE ALL NIGHT LONG. 
          THEY'VE GOT TOOTHACHES, THEY'VE GOT THE FLU, THEY'RE COLD, THEY'RE HUNGRY, THEY WANT TO GET OUT OF THE ENVIRONMENT. 
          WHAT THAT WAS DOING GENERALLY WAS CAUSING CALLS FOR US. 
          AND THEY WERE JUST GONNA GO TO THE HOSPITAL TO GET OUTTA THE CONDITION THEY'RE IN. 
          NOW, IF WE HAVE A CALL OVER THERE, WE GO WITH THEIR SECURITY OFFICERS AND WE EVALUATE THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE REALLY NEEDED AS FAR AS SENDING A RESPONSE OUT THERE. 
          SO THE CALLS HAVE INCREASED THIS YEAR, BUT THE RESPONSE, UM, BY THIS, THIS HAVING THE PARAMEDIC THERE, HAS DECREASED THE TRANSPORTS AND THE RUNS 35%. 
          THAT'S AMAZING. 
          OKAY. 
          YES. 
          COUNCILWOMAN, I JUST WANTED TO, UM, ADD TO WHAT THE CHIEF MENTIONED. 
          UH, WE RECEIVE THIS YEAR FOUR DIFFERENT GRANTS FROM STRAC TO PROVIDE SERVICES RELATED TO M I H, INCLUDING HEAVEN FOR HOPE. 
          THE TOTAL AMOUNT WAS $400,000. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND THEN, UM, AGAIN, THE WHOLE BLOOD PROGRAM. 
          SO PROUD OF THAT PROGRAM AS WELL. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND MY LAST QUESTION, UH, IN THIS AREA IS FOR YOU ERIC, UM, THE SA FD WELLNESS PROGRAMS, IS THAT PART OF OUR, OUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS? NO, MA'AM. 
          IT'S NOT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND IT'S A PROGRAM THAT WAS INITIATED ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, RIGHT? CHIEF? ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO INTERNALLY. 
          UM, BUT IT'S A, IT'S, IT'S, UH, UM, AN ANNUAL PHYSICAL THAT FIREFIGHTERS GO THROUGH. 
          DO THEY GET INCREASED PAY IF THEY MEET CERTAIN PARAMETERS? NO, THEY DO NOT. 
          THEY DON'T. 
          IT'S, IT'S AN ANNUAL REQUIREMENT. 
          THEY GO THROUGH THAT PHYSICAL, UM, THEY GET, UH, EARLY DETECTED, UH, FOR ANY POTENTIAL HEALTH RELATED ISSUES MM-HMM. 
          , UM, AND WE'VE GOT THE STAFF ON HAND TO, UH, HELP, UH, IDENTIFY THOSE, THOSE ISSUES. 
          BUT THAT'S NOT PART OF THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING GROUP. 
          SO FOR THE WELLNESS PROGRAM WITH THE PSYCHOLOGISTS AND THE ONE-ON-ONE COUNSELING AND TRAINING, IS THAT ALSO PROVIDED FOR OUR, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT? YES, MA'AM. 
          IT IS. 
          OKAY. 
          YES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, NOW TO THE SS A P D BUDGET, PLEASE. 
          UM, SLIDE NUMBER TWO, CHIEF, AND IT WAS ALREADY MENTIONED ABOUT THE NUMBERS. 
          YOU SAID 1000 OR FOUR PATROL. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S PATROL ON THE STREETS. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          AND THIS IS WHAT OUR, A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS WANT TO SEE MORE OF. 
          THEY WANNA SEE MORE VISIBILITY OF OUR OFFICERS ON THE STREET. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          AND SO 1000 PATROL, DOES THAT MEAN IT'S 1000 VEHICLES OR WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THERE'S, THERE ARE OFFICERS, IT'S, THERE'S, THERE ARE OVER 1000 OFFICERS WHO ARE ASSIGNED TO PATROL. 
          AND THAT 1000 IS BROKEN UP INTO FIVE DIFFERENT SHIFTS OVER SEVEN DAYS OF THE WEEK. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          FOUR DIFFERENT SHIFTS OVER SEVEN DAYS OF THE WEEK. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S A NUMBER THAT I KNOW THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE WANTING TO SEE AN INCREASE IN. 
          UM, THIS ONE POSITIONS THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE PARK POLICE? NO, MA'AM. 
          OKAY. 
          HOW MANY PARK POLICE DO WE HAVE? THERE ARE 156. 
          1 56 1 8 3, 180 3. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          180 3. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND ON THE SWORN POSITIONS, DO WE HAVE A NUMBER OF, AND I KNOW YOU HAD THAT CHART HERE. 
          SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE IT. 
          HOW MANY OFFICERS DO WE HAVE ON EXTENDED MEDICAL LEAVE THAT ARE NOT REPORTING INTO MAYBE IF THEY'RE SAFE OFFICERS? PROBABLY ABOUT 60. 
          HOW MANY? ABOUT 60. 
          60 ISH. 
          THEY'RE OUT BEFORE WE GET THE EXACT END. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT AROUND 60 ISH. 
          SO I THINK I WOULD LIKE THAT AS PART OF THE FOLLOW-UP, MARIA AND ERIC, JUST TO FIND OUT WHEN IT, YOU'RE COMING OUT WITH BREAKDOWNS OF, OF OUR 
          [02:30:01]
OFFICERS, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF, UM, THE, ALSO OF HOW MANY ARE AT EXTENDED LEAVE AND MAYBE ALSO HOW MANY DO WE HAVE SET TO RETIRE THIS YEAR AS WELL. 
          SO WITH THAT BACKUP, UM, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. 
          AND, UH, FOR THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES ON THE 2020 PERFORMANCE MEASURES, AND I KNOW THE MAYOR MENTIONED THIS A WHILE AGO, AND I THINK WE ALL HAVE NOTICED THIS WHEN WE'RE ALL, WE'VE ALL BEEN ON RIDEALONGS, I THINK. 
          AND, UM, I THINK I WANT MORE CLARITY FOR BACKUP. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT NOW, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE CLARITY ON THE RESPONSE TIMES AND, UM, UNDERSTANDING ON THESE RIDE-ALONGS. 
          'CAUSE WE'RE THERE AND WE SEE THE SCREENS OF ALL THE CALLS ON THE SCREENS AND THEREFORE EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY. 
          AND THERE ARE CALLS THAT ARE WITHIN THESE SIX MINUTES, ET CETERA, THAT HAVE TO BE, UH, PRETTY QUICK. 
          UM, AND THEN THERE ARE CALLS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE QUEUE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. 
          SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, WHAT DO WE DO WITH THOSE CALLS THAT ARE ON THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME? IF THEY'RE LISTED AS A FAMILY DISTURBANCES, THEY'RE LISTED AS SOMETHING ELSE. 
          IF THEY'RE LISTED AS A CAR ACCIDENT, BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN WE HERE, AND PROBABLY OUR SAFE OFFICERS HERE IS THAT I CALLED A POLICE OFFICER TO COME BECAUSE WE HEARD SOMETHING SCARY AND THEY NEVER CAME, OR IT TOOK THEM FOREVER. 
          AND PEOPLE STILL WAIT THERE FOREVER EXPECTING THEIR POLICE OFFICER TO COME, BUT BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE CALLS THAT THEY HAVE TO REPLY TO RESPOND TO, IT'S ON THE QUEUE REALLY LOW. 
          SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT DO WHAT AND WHAT DO WE DO WITH THOSE CALLS THAT ARE ON THERE FOR 45 MINUTES AN HOUR? UM, WHAT HAPPENS? WELL, EVENTUALLY WE RESPOND TO THEM, BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE THOSE CALLS THAT YOU SEE ON THE BOTTOM HALF OF THAT SCREEN. 
          THEY'RE THE PENDING CALLS AND THEY'RE TYPICALLY NOT YOUR EMERGENCY TYPE CALLS THAT REQUIRE AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. 
          MM-HMM. 
           COULD BE A COLD BURGLARY CALL. 
          IT COULD BE, UM, A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT DON'T EQUATE TO AN EMERGENCY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , ALL, ALL THE CALLS THAT ARE DISPATCHED ARE DISPATCHED BASED ON PRIORITY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , AND THAT'S HOW THEY'RE CLASSIFIED. 
          AND SO AGAIN, YOU WON'T SEE EMERGENCY CALLS OR CALLS WHERE SOMEBODY'S SCREAMING FOR HELP. 
          YOU WON'T SEE THAT ON THE BOTTOM HALF OF THAT SCREEN. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IF I COULD JUST MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES, IF THEY'RE HERE, IF THEY COULD COME BACK ONTO THE DAIS BECAUSE WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THIS AND WE NEED TO HAVE SIX OF OUR, OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE. 
          SO IF THEY COULD PLEASE COME, UM, AS WE WORK THROUGH THE BIGGEST PART OF OUR BUDGET, 65% OF THE BUDGET. 
          SO, ANDY, GO AHEAD. 
          THANK, THANK YOU COUNCILWOMAN. 
          WE HAD ONE. 
          WE HAD ONE. 
          COUNCILMAN WILL BE BACK HERE MOMENTARILY. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, AND THEN, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          BUT IF WE CAN GET MORE OF JUST THE CLARIFICATION ON OUR PART OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO, I'D REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          YOU TALKED ABOUT THE VIOLENT CRIMES AND SOMETHING THAT WAS ALSO BROUGHT UP WAS THE PROPERTY CRIMES AND HOW PROPERTY CRIMES HAD INCREASED. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? UH, BOTH PROPERTY AND VIOLENT HAVE INCREASED. 
          SO, AND YOU SAID THEFT. 
          THIS WAS PART OF THEFT. 
          SO THE PART OF MY QUESTION IS WILL THIS HAVE THIS THEFT? IS IT SOME, IS IT SOMETHING THAT THE DA CASES THAT THEY ARE STILL GOING TO BE TAKING THESE CASES OF THESE, THE THEFT THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING? OR IS IT PART OF THE SITE AND RELEASE? UH, THEY'RE PART OF THE SITE AND RELEASE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THIS, THERE'S BEEN AN INCREASE OF THEFT AND THEN WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE, OR THE DA HAS THE, UM, THE DISCRETION THAN TO NOT PROSECUTE THESE CASES? NO, IT'S, YOU'RE, YOU'RE DON'T DON'T SWITCH THE, SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. 
          YEAH, YEAH. 
          PLEASE CLARIFY THAT FOR ME. 
          SO THE, THE SITE AND RELEASE, THEY'RE NOT, THOSE CASES ARE NOT BEING DISMISSED. 
          THEY'RE BEING THE, THE, UH, OFFENDER IS EITHER BEING CITED OKAY. 
          OR ARRESTED BY THE OFFICER. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ONCE YOU'RE CITED, YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP AT THE, UH, REENTRY CENTER, UH, MEET WITH A, WITH AN A, D A, AN ASSISTANT DA, AND YOU'LL BE PUT INTO SOME TYPE OF PROGRAM. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT IT'S NOT, THEY'RE NOT BEING DISMISSED OUTRIGHT. 
          SO, BUT IS THIS THEFT? THIS IS UNDER THAT CATEGORY RIGHT NOW? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED, AND IT WAS MENTIONED THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE FOLLOWING THIS TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          AND THEN I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE, UH, YOU HAD THE CONVERSA, THE, IN THE VIDEO IT MENTIONED THE FAMILY VIOLENCE JUSTICE CENTER. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          THAT THERE IS A ONE STOP CENTER. 
          WHAT ALL DO THEY DO THERE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR, UH, DOMESTIC 
          [02:35:01]
VIOLENCE CASES? SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE TWO, UH, DETECTIVES THAT ARE THERE, AND THEY WILL GUIDE, UH, THE VICTIMS TO ADVOCACY SERVICES. 
          THEY WILL ASSIST THEM IN GETTING A PREVENTION ORDER, A PROTECTION ORDER. 
          OKAY. 
          WHAT HAPPENED IN OUR CRTS, THESE CRTS THAT, OR THE SAFE OFFICERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE WORKING IN C R T AND THE SIX C R T SERGEANTS? ARE THEY WORKING ON THE WEEKENDS? UH, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SCHEDULES WOULD BE. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          COUNCILWOMAN, BECAUSE IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDER THAT IS 48 HOURS AND IT HAPPENS ON A, A FRIDAY. 
          LET ME, LET ME, LET ME CORRECT MYSELF. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT, THAT EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDER I WAS THINKING OF ANOTHER MM-HMM. 
          , UH, THING THAT WAS 48 HOURS. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY 60 DAYS. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND THEN IF WE CAN GO TO SLIDE NUMBER 16 IN THIS HEAT MAP. 
          I THINK A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANTED TO, TO SHARE ABOUT THIS IS, UM, THE, OF THE MANY THINGS THAT THE STATUS OF WOMEN REPORT REVEALED TO US IS THAT THE BUSINESS AS USUAL OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN GENERAL, IS NOT GOING TO WORK ANYMORE. 
          WE KNOW THAT THE STATUS OF WOMEN REPORT SAID THAT WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE KILLED IN BEAR COUNTY THAN IN TRAVIS, DALLAS AND HARRIS COUNTIES. 
          AND WE KNOW IN ONE OF MY SUB SU STATIONS, S A P D SOUTH SERVICE AREA, THAT CAPITAL MURDER FROM 2018 TO 2019 IS A 60% CHANGE. 
          CAPITAL MURDER HAS GONE UP. 
          AND THEN WE SEE THIS VIOLENT HEAT MAP, VIOLENT CRIME, HEAT MAP. 
          AND YOUR, YOUR STATEMENT HERE WAS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE C THE C R T, THE SAFE OFFICERS ARE GOING TO BE IN THOSE AREAS OF THE, UM, THE CIRCLES, WHICH I THINK IS NOT APPROPRIATE. 
          WE ALL TALK ABOUT, WE THE CITY, WE TALK ABOUT EQUITY, BUT YOU ARE, WE ARE MAKING AN ENTIRE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CITY SHARE ONE SUBSTATION. 
          THERE IS ONLY ONE SUBSTATION IN THE ENTIRE CITY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 90. 
          WE HAVE TO SHARE BOTH THE SOUTH SUBSTATION AND E SUBSTATION, WHICH IS STILL NORTH OF 90. 
          THAT IS NOT EQUITABLE IN MY OPINION. 
          AND WE'RE ALSO DOING A DISSERVICE TO THE WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES WHEN WE'RE HAVING TO SPLIT OUR RESOURCES INTO ALL OF THIS AREA. 
          AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO DO A, WE HAVE TO DO BETTER AND BE BETTER AS A COMMUNITY HERE BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE LIVING IN THIS AND WE STILL KNOW THE, UM, RATE OF SURVIVAL FOR LONGEVITY OF PEOPLE NORTH IN THIS CITY AND SOUTH IN THIS CITY, AND YET WE ARE HAVING TO FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES OR BE EXPECTED TO LIVE IN THESE VIOLENT CONDITIONS, THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. 
          AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR A SUBSTATION IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          I'D LIKE TO KNOW IN THE, IN THIS VIOLENT CRIME HERE, THE STATISTIC HERE IN, UM, HOW MANY VIOLENT CRIME, WHAT ONE, DESCRIBE WHAT ARE THE VIOLENT CRIMES THAT ARE THERE? AND NUMBER TWO, HOW MANY IN ORDER TO HAVE THESE HOTSPOTS THAT ARE, THAT ARE THERE. 
          AND THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE SAFE OFFICERS. 
          BUT YOU'RE EXPECTING DISTRICTS TWO AND THREE, THE SOUTH SIDE TO AND THE EAST SIDE TO SHARE SOME MORE SAFE OFFICERS HERE. 
          I'M JUST, I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED AND I THAT THE MAYOR'S NOT HEARING THIS EITHER TO SEE THIS, THIS IMBALANCE AND THIS INEQUITY THAT IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN HERE. 
          SO THIS IS WHY I'M CONTINUING TO ASK FOR THE SUBSTATION. 
          AND I KNOW OUR OFFICERS COME AND THEY'LL GO, THEY'LL, THEY WON'T STAY THERE AT THE SUBSTATION. 
          WE WILL HAVE SOME CIVILIANS WORK THERE, BUT THEY'RE STILL GOING. 
          WE'RE GOING TO BE, IF WE HAVE SOMETHING IN THE SOUTHERN SECTOR, IT'S GOING TO THEN LIFT THE BURDEN OFF OF THE OTHER SUBSTATIONS IN OUR AREA AND THEN HELP THE OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND KNOWING THAT THERE IS NOTHING SOUTH OF 90, AND WE GO ALL THE WAY TO FOUR 10 AND TO 1604 WITH CONTINUED GROWTH. 
          I KNOW THAT YOU WENT VERY FAST OVER THIS, THIS, UM, THIS PLAN FOR ANOTHER SUBSTATION 
          [02:40:01]
POLICE FACILITY STUDY. 
          BUT AGAIN, IT'S JUST A STUDY. 
          I WANNA KNOW FROM YOU CHIEF AND FROM YOU, ERIC, WHAT IS OUR CLEAR PATH FORWARD TO RECTIFY THIS INEQUITY THAT IS HAPPENING HERE AND BE PROACTIVE FOR THE FUTURE. 
          AND I HAVE MY RESIDENTS, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION'S LETTERS THAT I'VE GIVEN YOU ALL OVER AND OVER. 
          AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TAKING THIS ALL TO ACCOUNT BECAUSE PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE OR ELSE YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. 
          AND THERE ARE PICTURES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE, WHO ARE SLEEPING AND LAYING ON THE SIDEWALK THAT OUR KIDS ARE HAVING TO GO THROUGH. 
          SO I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU RIGHT NOW, WHAT IS OUR CLEAR PATH FORWARD TO, TO STOP THIS, THIS INEQUITY THAT'S HAPPENING. 
          COUNSEL, WHEN WE HAVE I'LL ANSWER. 
          I'LL ANSWER CHIEF. 
          SO I, I THINK WE'RE BEING PROACTIVE IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET BY LAYING OUT AND ASKING FOR MONEY. 
          I'M RECOMMENDING WE SET ASIDE MONEY TO DO THAT FACILITY STUDY. 
          I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND COUNCILWOMAN, THE, THE CITY HAS NOT ADDED POLICE SUBSTATIONS IN 25 YEARS. 
          UM, WE HAVEN'T DONE ANY SOLID WORK ON OUR SIX EXISTING SUBSTATIONS IN ALMOST 20. 
          WE NEED TO GET A PUT, PUT TOGETHER A PLAN TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ADDITIONAL SUBSTATIONS WE MAY NEED AS A COMMUNITY. 
          UM, FRANKLY, THERE ARE OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF REQUEST. 
          UM, AND, AND I NEED, I, I'D LIKE SOME, SOME EXPERT ASSISTANCE IN HELPING US LOCATE WHERE THOSE FACILITIES ARE AT. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF FACTORS, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF FACTORS THAT GO INTO THAT LOCATION, BUT THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL NEED IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT'S GONNA REQUIRE THE COUNCIL TO PRIORITIZE THOSE PROJECTS AND INCLUDE THEM IN A BOND PROGRAM. 
          UM, WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT 15 TO $20 MILLION A SUBSTATION. 
          WE'RE GONNA NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE, THEY'VE GOT BIG PIECES OF THE PROPERTY THAT, UH, WE CAN GROW INTO OVER THE NEXT 50 YEARS. 
          AND I'M GONNA NEED, I'M GONNA NEED THE HELP WITH THE COUNCIL TO FUND THOSE, THOSE PROJECTS. 
          THERE'S LIKELY MORE THAN JUST ONE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          THE OTHER PART OF THE FACILITY PLAN IS TO LOOK AT THOSE SIX SUBSTATIONS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWTH OF THIS CITY. 
          THE, THE DEPARTMENT'S GONNA CONTINUE TO GROW, POPULATION'S GONNA CONTINUE TO ESCALATE. 
          I NEED TO HAVE ROOM IN THOSE, AT THOSE SUBSTATIONS TO PARK VEHICLES. 
          AND WE HAVEN'T REALLY LOOKED AT THAT PROACTIVELY IN THE LAST 15 YEARS. 
          THAT'S PART OF THE PLAN THIS YEAR. 
          BUT I, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. 
          I THINK, I THINK THE CHIEF PROBABLY FEELS THE SAME WAY, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE'VE TAKEN THAT SERIOUSLY. 
          UM, I NEED TO PUT TOGETHER A PLAN AND PRESENT IT TO YOU. 
          WHAT I'M GONNA NEED BACK FROM THE COUNCIL IS THE COMMITMENT TO FUND THOSE PROJECTS. 
          AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ARE THESE CRITERIA THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING INTO WITH ALL OF THIS? AND I KNOW THAT I'M GONNA HAVE PLENTY OF RESIDENTS WE'RE GONNA BE HAPPY TO SHARE. 
          WE'RE WHATEVER INFORMATION THEY NEED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL TOO. 
          SURE. 
          I I, I THINK, I THINK THOSE FACTORS, AND THERE, THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT DO THIS TYPE OF WORK FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT FACILITIES. 
          I TH I'M NOT THE EXPERT, OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T, I WOULDN'T BE ASKING FOR MONEY TO, TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME IN HERE AND HELP US. 
          IT'S GONNA BE GROWTH, IT'S GONNA BE FUTURE GROWTH. 
          IT'S GONNA BE ACCESS TO HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS. IT'S GONNA BE, UM, UH, CRIME. 
          IT'S GONNA BE, UM, CALLS FOR SERVICE. 
          I, I, I SUSPECT IT'S ALL THOSE THINGS COMBINED. 
          UM, THERE ARE, UM, AND, AND, AND I'LL SAY THAT THERE'S PROBABLY, I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNCILMAN COURAGE ABOUT FACILITIES NORTH OF 1604. 
          IT'S PROBABLY JUST NOT THE SOUTHEAST SIDE TO YOUR POINT, IF WE HAVE SIX SUBSTATIONS, UH, AND THEY, THEY, THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR 25 YEARS PLUS THEY PROBABLY, IF IF IF WE, IF WE PICKED UP THE, THE BUILDINGS AND DROPPED THEM EQUITABLY, UH, AROUND THE CITY, THEY LIKELY WOULDN'T BE IN THEIR EXACT EXACT POSITION. 
          BUT I THINK WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT, UH, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME, SOME ADDITIONS THAT, THAT ARE GONNA BE REQUIRED AND THAT'S GONNA REQUIRE AN INVESTMENT, FRANKLY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          I KNOW IN THE 2017 BOND THERE WAS, THERE'S SOMETHING FOR $20 MILLION AND, AND BUILDING IS JUST A BUILDING. 
          WE STILL NEED TO HAVE THE AMOUNT OF OFFICERS THAT WE NEED TO STAND UP AND EMPLOYEES WORKING ON THAT AND ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE IN THAT SAME FACILITY. 
          SO IT'S GOING TO BE A MAJOR INVESTMENT. 
          BUT I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME. 
          TO YOUR POINT, WHAT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE FROM YOU ALL IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT IS OUR CURRENT STATUS. 
          YOU ALREADY MENTIONED OUR SUBSTATIONS THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY. 
          WHAT IS THE, UM, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE MAINTAINED THEM? WHEN WERE THEY BUILT? HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO WE HAVE THERE? UM, THIS IS WHAT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GET AS FOLLOW UP FOR. 
          WE'LL INCLUDE THAT IN THE FOLLOW UP FOR OUR, OUR, OUR OFFICE. 
          YOU KNOW, YOU MENTIONED OUR SAFE OFFICERS GETTING WITH THE C R T. 
          DO ALL OF OUR SAFE OFFICERS GO THROUGH WHATEVER SPECIALIZED TRAINING THAT OUR C R T OFFICERS HAVE TO GO THROUGH? 
          [02:45:01]
YES, MA'AM. 
          THE, THE, UH, THE C R T OFFICERS ARE, WELL ACTUALLY THE, THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT IS GOING THROUGH THE 40 HOUR, UH, CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAINING. 
          WE STARTED THAT A LONG TIME AGO. 
          NOW OUR CADETS GET IT WHEN THEY'RE COMING THROUGH THE ACADEMY. 
          UH, I THINK MOST EVERYBODY IN THE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN TRAINED WITH C R T. 
          SO THAT MEANS ALL OF, SO ALSO TO, UM, WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER ANDREW SULLIVAN SHARED, UM, SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE ARE HAVING IN THE SOUTHEASTER, THE, THE EAST SIDE OF 37 THAT'S UNDER THE EAST SIDE SUB STATION, IS WE NEED OUR CONSISTENT SAFE OFFICERS WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS. 
          THERE HAS NOT BEEN THAT CONSISTENCY, BUT THOSE OFFICERS THAT ARE SHOWING UP, THEY COME, THEY SHOW THEY CARE BECAUSE THEY DO, BUT THEN THEY'RE PULLED TO OTHER LOCATIONS OR THEY'RE PULLED TO SPECIALIZED, UM, UNITS. 
          WE NEED TO HAVE THAT CONSISTENCY BECAUSE AGAIN, OUR RESIDENTS ARE HAVING TO TELL THE SAME STORY AGAIN TO SOMEONE NEW. 
          AND THOSE OFFICERS, THEY WORK ON THE ISSUES, BUT IT'S JUST THEY'RE COMING INTO BRAND NEW SITUATIONS. 
          YEAH. 
          WHERE THE CONSISTENCY IS KEY HERE. 
          UM, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE ABOUT THAT AS WELL. 
          DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, ERIC? WELL, I WAS JUST GONNA ADD THAT, THAT, SO WE, WE, WE DEAL WITH THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS. 
          ONE, OFFICERS PROMOTE AND, AND WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON FILLING THEM. 
          BUT, BUT THEN I'LL USE THE EXAMPLE LAST NIGHT IN DISTRICT 10 WHERE THE SAFE OFFICERS WERE NOT AT THAT COMMUNITY MEETING. 
          AND COUNCILMAN PERRY, WE HAD PROBABLY HAD 120 PEOPLE. 
          AND WHEN I ASKED WHERE THE SAFE OFFICERS WERE AT, THEY HAD BEEN ASKED TO HELP THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, ON A LAW ENFORCEMENT MATTER. 
          AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT THAT ISSUE THAT THEY WERE DEALING WITH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS COUNCILMAN PERRY, THAT ISSUE THEY WERE DEALING WITH HAS BEEN A SORE POINT FOR ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN DISTRICT 10. 
          SO AT TIMES, OFFICERS, SAFE OFFICERS, AND, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, YOU'RE THE POLICE CHIEF, NOT ME. 
          AND SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES THERE'S A LAW ENFORCEMENT REASON FOR THOSE SAFE OFFICERS TO BE, TO BE PULLED. 
          MOST OF THE TIME IT'S, IT'S IN ORDER TO ADDRESS A NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUE. 
          AND, AND, AND, AND THAT'S THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION. 
          THEY ARE POLICE OFFICERS. 
          AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT'S THEIR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY. 
          WE DO WANT THEM ENGAGED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          BUT, UM, I THINK, I THINK TO, TO THINK THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT POLICE OFFICERS A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME, UM, ISN'T, ISN'T ACCURATE. 
          THERE ARE GONNA BE TIMES WHERE WE PULL 'EM AND, AND I THINK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S MINDFUL ABOUT THAT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          NO, I UNDERSTAND. 
          AND THEY, WHENEVER WE CALL OUR OFFICE, UH, WHEN WE CALL, THEY WILL BRING SOMEBODY TO, TO BE THERE TO SHOW UP AT THE LOCATION AT THE EVENTS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE TO SAY, I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF MY RESIDENTS TOO, BECAUSE LAST YEAR WHEN THE, UM, THE CRITERIA THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME THAT SAID THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GROWTH OR WE DON'T HAVE THE CALL VOLUME, UH, ONCE WE TOLD THEM THAT OUR RESIDENTS STARTED CALLING, THEY STARTED CALLING ON EVERYTHING THAT MAYBE THEY HADN'T CALLED BEFORE. 
          UM, BUT THEY STARTED CALLING. 
          AND SO THAT IS WHY THERE IS THE NINE POINT A HALF PERCENT CHANGE IN CALLS, CALLS FOR SERVICE IN THE AREA BECAUSE WE PUT OUT TO THE RESIDENTS TO SAY, IF YOU WANT THIS, WE NEED TO INCREASE THE CALLS. 
          AND NOT THAT THE, THE CRIMES WEREN'T HAPPENING BEFORE THEY WERE, BUT THE RESIDENTS WEREN'T CALLING. 
          UM, AND NOW THEY ARE. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THE WORK OF THE RESIDENTS IN DOING THAT FOR FOLLOW UP. 
          ALSO, UM, CHIEF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING AND, AND ERIC FOR PUT, MAKING SURE THAT MILITARY DRIVE IS A PART OF THAT ENHANCEMENT FOR THE 2020 AND THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ENTERTAINMENT ZONES. 
          WE KNOW THAT THAT IS GOING TO GO SUCH A LONG WAY, UM, FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          'CAUSE I THINK ABOUT, UM, EVEN IN DAYTON, OHIO, THE OFFICERS, IT TOOK THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE OFFICERS IN THAT, THAT ENTERTAINMENT AREA, IT TOOK THEM 32 SECONDS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE OUT THE PERPETRATOR. 
          UM, AND THE RESPONSE WAS SO QUICK. 
          SO I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY HELPFUL FOR ALL OF OUR AREAS. 
          UM, NOT THAT WE EVER WANT ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN, BUT THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE QUICK RESPONSE TIME THAT WE NEED IN THE AREA TOO. 
          AGAIN, UM, MARIA, CHIEF AND ERIC, I THINK WHAT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU HEAR IS THAT A SUBSTATION IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL AREA THAT IS GOING TO BE ONLY THE SECOND ONE IN SOUTH OF 90 IS JUST A START, IS A GOOD START. 
          BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE IT BECAUSE THE WAYS THAT WE'VE DONE IT IN THE PAST, IT'S, WE CANNOT KEEP DOING THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IN THE PAST. 
          WE HAVE TO HAVE CHANGE. 
          SO THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK 
          [02:50:01]
YOU COUNCILWOMAN VRAN. 
          CHIEF, I HAVE A, JUST A FEW QUESTIONS ON, UH, PAGE SEVEN. 
          IT REFERENCES 2017 NUMBERS. 
          IS A NEW U C R AVAILABLE OR MAYBE JUST A CAPTION, WAS IT? OR THE NO. 
          U U C R NUMBERS DON'T COME OUT. 
          WON'T COME OUT FOR 2018 UNTIL CLOSER TO THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          PERFECT. 
          AND THEN ALSO, HOW MUCH IS ALLOCATED FOR THE HANDLE WITH CARE PROGRAM? HOW MANY, WHAT, HOW MUCH IS ALLOCATED FOR THE HANDLE WITH CARE PROGRAM? I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN A NU A NUMBER YET. 
          HOW IS, WHAT IS ALLOCATED FOR THE HANDLE WITH CARE PROGRAM? THERE, THERE'S NO BUDGET REQUIRED FOR THAT. 
          UH, COUNCILWOMAN THAT'S HANDLED BY OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALSO FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT ZONES THAT COUNCILWOMAN VRAN REFERENCED, UH, A LOT OF MY RESIDENTS IN, IN DISTRICT FOUR ALSO HAD THOSE CONCERNS. 
          UH, DURING THE, THE SAFE PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION, YOU MENTIONED THAT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT, UH, FOLKS FEEL, UM, A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE WHEN THEY SEE SAFE OFFICERS. 
          SO THIS IS ALSO ONE OF MY CONCERNS. 
          AND, AND BY THE WAY, IF I COULD SEE SOME OF THOSE STUDIES, 'CAUSE I LOVE READING, I'D LOVE TO CHECK, UH, READ ON, ON THOSE. 
          BUT, UM, I WANTED TO SEE WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM. 
          ARE THEY NEW RECRUITS OR IS THAT COMING FROM OUR CURRENT POLICE? LIKE HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHO THE NEXT SAFE OFFICERS? NO, THOSE POSITIONS WOULD COME FROM OFFICERS WHO ARE ALREADY ON THE DEPARTMENT. 
          WE WOULD JUST, WE, WE WOULD JUST HIRE THOSE, THOSE POSITIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ON THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PIECE THAT YOU GAVE US, THERE WERE 65 VOLUNTEERS AND THREE PSYCHOLOGISTS ALLOTTED TO THE PEER SUPPORT TEAM, THE O C P. 
          WHERE ARE WE NOW? ARE WE STILL WITH THOSE NUMBERS OR HAVE WE ALLOCATED SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO THAT? I'M HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THAT. 
          SURE. 
          THERE ARE 65 VOLUNTEERS, RIGHT. 
          AND THREE PSYCHOLOGISTS ALLOCATED TO THE PEER SUPPORT TEAM. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE ARE STILL THERE NOW OR IF WE'VE ALLOCATED SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR THAT. 
          NO, THERE'S BEEN NO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES REALLOCATED OR ALLOCATED. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN THE MENTAL HEALTH UNIT, UH, THERE IS A PIECE THAT, UH, IN THE PIECE IT ALSO SAYS THAT THERE'S SIX OFFICERS. 
          ARE WE INCREASING THAT AT ALL? NO, THERE ARE, THERE ARE 10 OFFICERS AND TWO DETECTIVES. 
          GOT IT. 
          AND THEN ON RECRUITMENT, I KNOW THAT I THINK WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, I CAN'T REMEMBER, I SAW A PIECE, BUT I'D LIKE TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 
          I KNOW THAT, UM, WE LESSEN THE REQUIREMENTS FOR FOLKS THAT ARE GOING TO OR, OR CAN APPLY TO BECOME POLICE OFFICERS. 
          AND ONE OF MY CONCERNS WAS THAT ONE OF THOSE DEALT WITH FOLKS THAT HAD, UH, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCIDENTS. 
          AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE I SAW THAT, BUT I WANTED TO SEE IF MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN GET ME SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS TO WHAT WAS THE PREVIOUS AND WHAT IT IS NOW, UM, THAT WE CHANGED THAT UP FROM. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR POLICE. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO ON A DAILY BASIS. 
          AND FIRE CHIEF HOOD, BY THE WAY, CHIEF HOOD, UH, THAT WAS A VERY HEROIC VIDEO THAT YOU GUYS SHOWED EARLIER. 
          AND I WANNA TAKE THE TIME TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY FOR THE GRANTS ON SATURDAY NIGHT. 
          CHIEF HOOD WAS AN MC AT A GRANTS PROGRAM, AND HE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB, BUT HE WAS RAISING, UM, MONEY FOR GOOD PURPOSES. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE, UM, ENHANCED, UH, SQUAD AT FIRE STATION 44. 
          I KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT IN D FOUR, THAT'S IN D SIX, BUT I KNOW THAT FIRE STATION, UH, 44 RESPONDS TO A LOT OF OUR AREA D FOUR. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          UM, AND SO I, I APPRECIATE THAT AND, UH, AND, AND REALLY WANT TO JUST SAY THANK YOU PUBLICLY TO COUNCILMAN PERRY'S POINT. 
          I, UM, TOO WAS JUST CONCERNED. 
          I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. 
          TODAY OUTSIDE OF THE GREYHOUND, WHEN I WAS COMING TO, UM, COUNCIL, I SAW A HUGE, UH, TRUCK, UH, GIVING ASSISTANCE OR GIVING AID TO SOMEONE ON THE STREET. 
          RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A HOMELESS, UH, GENTLEMAN, BUT THERE WAS ALSO A SCOOTER THAT LOOKED HALF KNOCKED OVER, OR, OR MAYBE IT WAS SOMEONE THAT HAD A SCOOTER INCIDENT. 
          BUT I WAS CONCERNED AND MORE FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE I'M, I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE THESE BIG TRUCKS. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE DONE SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ON THAT. 
          UM, BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE IF MAYBE YOU COULD SHARE SOME INFORMATION WITH ME ABOUT HOW WE'RE, UM, YOU KNOW, TAKING CARE OF OF OKAY. 
          AND, AND AGAIN, NOT KNOWING WHAT THAT CALL WAS. 
          SAY THAT WAS A AUTO PEDESTRIAN OR A SCOOTER WRECK. 
          MM-HMM. 
           ENGINE FOUR WAS CLOSEST. 
          SAY THAT'S WHO IT WAS. 
          THEY GOT THERE, THEY PROBABLY CANCELED THAT AMBULANCE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , THEY TURN AROUND AND THEY GET A HIGH-RISE FIRE DOWN THE BLOCK. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE DEAL WITH EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          AND SO WE HAVE TO BE FLEXIBLE IN OUR EQUIPMENT AND IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO SEND A FIRETRUCK THAN TO SEND AN AMBULANCE THAT'S NOT GONNA TRANSPORT SOMEBODY . 
          OKAY. 
          BUT WE'LL CONTINUE THAT DISCUSSION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UH, AND THEN THE TAG, THANK YOU FOR THE, UH, 
          [02:55:01]
THREAT ASSESSMENT GROUP. 
          I THINK THAT WE NOW NEED A HOTLINE ALSO WHERE PEOPLE CAN JUST CALL IN AND, AND REPORT THESE SORT OF THINGS. 
          UM, AND THEN, UH, THE WHOLE BLOOD PROGRAM, I ALSO, AND THE CLEAN CLAP CAT PROVISIONS. 
          I THINK THAT WE ARE DOING A GREAT JOB, UM, IN THAT REGARD. 
          UM, I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT CHIEF FRATTO HERE, AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK HER FOR HER ADVOCACY AT THE CAMP HERO. 
          LIKE HER, UH, SHE WAS, UM, UH, SHE WAS THERE TO INSPIRE THE YOUNG WOMEN. 
          AND THEN MY FINAL QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH, UH, PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION TRAINING. 
          DO WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE SS A P D THAT INCLUDES STRESS MANAGEMENT OR PHYSICAL RESPONSE OR NUTRITION AND FITNESS OR CRITICAL INCIDENTS OR RESPONSE FOR OUR FIREFIGHTERS? YES, MA'AM. 
          ALL OF THOSE AND ABOVE. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT ONE. 
          'CAUSE SLY A P D JUST GAVE ME A REALLY BEAUTIFUL PAMPHLET WITH THEIR EIGHT STEPS, AND I JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT FIRE DOES. 
          WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND IT LOOKS, EXCUSE ME, YOU SKIPPED ME JUST A MINUTE AGO. 
          NO. 
          OH, NO. 
          ACTUALLY, I, I WAS THERE AND THEN IT WAS YOUR, YOUR, YOU WERE NEXT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I'M SPEAK AT THIS TIME? YES, ACTUALLY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCIL, I JUST MISREAD THE YEAH, IT'S OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. 
          COURAGE. 
          UH, GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU CHIEF, PLEASE. 
          UH, CHIEF MCMANUS, UM, ONE THING ABOUT THE STATISTICS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, UH, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, THEFT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND YOU SAID THAT WAS ONE OF THE LARGEST ISSUES. 
          DOES THAT MEAN THINGS THAT ARE STOLEN FROM PARKED CARS OR TRUCKS? IS THAT CONSIDERED THEFT? NO, SIR. 
          THAT'S CONSIDERED A VEHICLE BURGLARY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT MEASURED THE SAME WAY? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, NOW YOU HAVE APPROXIMATELY THIRTY SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE EMPLOYEES WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT, GIVE OR TAKE A DAY OR TWO. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND 2,470 OR SO ARE UNIFORMED OFFICERS. 
          UM, SO ABOUT A THIRD OF ALL THE EMPLOYEES ARE, ARE NON, NON-SWORN. 
          UM, HOW MANY OF THE SWORN OFFICERS OUT OF THE 2,400 PLUS THAT WE HAVE ARE, ARE DOING JOBS THAT COULD BE DONE BY CIVILIANS AT A LOWER COST TO THE CITY IN, IN A, YOU KNOW, AN ESTIMATE? WOULD YOU SAY 2%, 5%? YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW HOW MANY ARE SITTING BEHIND A DESK DOING WORK. 
          RIGHT. 
          THAT COULD BE DONE BY SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE MAJORITY OF, UM, POSITIONS THAT COULD BE DONE BY, UM, NON-SWORN PEOPLE. 
          WE, WE CALLED THEM OUT YEARS AGO. 
          AND I THINK THE, THE LATEST, UH, DEBATE AND, AND ANDY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE, UH, OFF-DUTY EMPLOYMENT, UH, ISSUE. 
          UH, THAT WAS A ISSUE THAT CAME UP IN AN ARBITRATION COUNCILMAN. 
          AND, UH, RIGHT NOW, UH, WE'RE STILL IN, UH, TRYING TO DEAL WITH THAT, BUT, UH, GIVEN AN ARBITRATOR'S DECISION RIGHT NOW, WE'VE DECIDED WE NEED TO FILL THOSE WITH, UH, UNIFORM. 
          AND THAT'S ABOUT, THEY'RE ABOUT THE ONLY POSITIONS THAT, UH, THAT EXIST RIGHT NOW WHERE WE TRY TO IZE 'EM. 
          BUT WE GOT, UH, WE GOT SUED OVER IT. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT WHEN WE COME TO CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE A FACTOR FOR NEGOTIATING IN THE NEXT CONTRACT. 
          THAT THAT'S CORRECT. 
          COUNCILMAN, I FORGOT TO ADD THAT THAT'S, WE, WE HAVE A LIST OF THINGS AND THAT'S ONE OF 'EM. 
          HOW MANY POSITIONS WOULD THAT BE? ROUGHLY? FOUR. 
          ONLY FOUR. 
          YES SIR. 
          SO THEN BASICALLY 99.9% OF THE JOBS THAT SWORN OFFICERS ARE HOLDING COULD NOT BE HELD BY ANYBODY ELSE BUT A SWORN OFFICER. 
          CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT, AND YOU LISTED IN HERE, CASH SEIZED OVER THE LAST YEAR ABOUT ABOUT $900,000 IN HERE. 
          UH, WHAT IS THE VALUE OF OTHER PROPERTY THAT WAS SEIZED AND MAYBE SOLD? HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL REVENUE HAS THAT BROUGHT IN? COUNCILMAN? WELL, WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ON THAT. 
          I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT. 
          COULD IT BE IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THOUGH? IT COULD BE, YES. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, AND, AND I'M, I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE OUR TOTAL BUDGET FOR MANAGING THIS PROCESS IS LIKE 1.6 MILLION. 
          AND I WAS JUST WONDERING, ARE WE SEIZING ENOUGH PROPERTY AND TURNING IT OVER ENOUGH TO PAY FOR THAT? I THINK THAT'S WHAT I SAW IN THE BUDGET. 
          1.6 MILLION FOR SEIZURE PROPERTY AND STUFF. 
          SURE. 
          WE WILL DO THAT ANALYSIS, COUNCILMAN OF PERSONNEL AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING THE SERVICE. 
          AND WE'LL GET THAT ANSWER FOR YOU. 
          IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE COST EXCEEDS THE, THE REVENUE 
          [03:00:01]
OR THE, THE OKAY. 
          THE PROPERTY AND THE CASH THAT WE ARE CEASING. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, I WANNA TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT MY FELLOW COUNCILMAN, COUNCILMAN PERRY WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE, UH, THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS WE HAVE AUTHORIZED. 
          AND CHIEF, THIS IS NOTHING AGAINST YOU. 
          YOU AND I HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE. 
          I KNOW IF YOU COULD GET A HUNDRED OR 200 MORE POLICE OFFICERS, YOU COULD MANAGE THEIR SERVICE VERY WELL. 
          BUT, BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T SEEM TO BE IN THE RIGHT POSITION RELATED TO SO MANY OTHER, UH, OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS. 
          AND AS YOU NOTED, OUR CRIME RATE IS GOING UP A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR. 
          AND ON ON SLIDE NUMBER SIX, I GUESS IT IS, IT SHOWS THAT, UH, THE U C R CRIMES REPORTED JUST THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THIS YEAR WERE 44,197. 
          NOW, IF WE SIMPLY SAY IN THE SECOND HALF, WE'RE GONNA DUPLICATE THAT, THAT WOULD BE BACK UP OVER 88,000, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAD IN 2016. 
          AND IT, IT, IT'S A POINT OF CONCERN IN LOOKING AT THESE FIGURES. 
          UH, COUNCILMAN THE 44,197, THE NUMBER OF U C R CRIMES THAT IS FOR SEVEN MONTHS OF 2019. 
          OH, IT'S FOR ALL OF JULY? YES SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          IT WASN'T THROUGH JULY 1ST ROUND. 
          OKAY. 
          CORRECT. 
          YES. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL THEN HOPEFULLY, UH, WE'RE NOT GONNA SEE ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT, BUT IT IS GOING ON ON AN UPTICK AND, UM, WE'VE DONE A LOT OVER THE LAST YEAR OR TWO TO DO COMBINED LAW ENFORCEMENT WORK WITH A LOT OF OTHER AGENCIES. 
          UH, WE'VE INDICATED WE'VE ARRESTED A LOT MORE PEOPLE. 
          THERE ARE A LOT MORE ON NARCOTICS CHARGES, A LOT MORE GANG MEMBERS ARRESTED. 
          UH, YET WE'RE STILL SEEING THESE NUMBERS RISE THIS YEAR. 
          AND I RECOGNIZE THINGS CAN HAPPEN FROM YEAR TO YEAR, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WE'VE PUT MORE COMBINED LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, SOURCES TO THIS. 
          UH, BUT WE DON'T SEEM TO BE, UH, MAKING THE PROGRESS OR CONTINUING TO SEE THE PROGRESS WE MADE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. 
          UH, AND I WOULD JUST WONDER IF THERE WERE MORE RESOURCES AVAILABLE IF WE COULD WORK ON LOWERING THOSE BY HAVING MORE POLICE OFFICERS AVAILABLE. 
          AND I KNOW THAT IF WE WERE GONNA ADD A HUNDRED POLICE OFFICERS, IT'S GONNA COST US ABOUT $12 MILLION. 
          'CAUSE IT COSTS ABOUT $120,000 TO TRAIN, EQUIP AND PUT A POLICE OFFICER OUT ON DUTY AND INCLUDING BENEFITS AND EVERYTHING. 
          AND I DON'T PROPOSE THAT WE HAVE THAT KIND OF FUNDING TODAY, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT EXPANDING OUR POLICE FORCE. 
          I SAW THE CHART YOU HAD UP THERE EARLIER, AND IT SHOWED EVERY OTHER MAJOR CITY IN TEXAS HAS MORE POLICE OFFICERS. 
          WE EVEN HAD SAN DIEGO AND PHOENIX UP THERE AND SAN DIEGO, ALTHOUGH THEY HAD LESS OFFICERS PER CITY, UH, OR PER 100,000. 
          SAN DIEGO HAS A SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT THAT HAS 400,000 PEOPLE IN THEIR COUNTY. 
          I MEAN, EXCUSE ME, 4,000 ADDITIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, DEPUTIES IN THEIR DEPARTMENT. 
          SO THEY HAVE A LOT MORE RESOURCES BESIDES JUST THEIR POLICE COMPARED TO US. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S A, A VERY VALID, UH, EXAMPLE. 
          SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT OTHER THAN MAYBE SAN JOSE, EVERYBODY HAS MORE POLICE STRENGTH PER A HUNDRED THOUSAND THAN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE US DO SOME SERIOUS RESEARCH ON HOW WE CAN CLOSE THAT GAP SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY. 
          ONE OTHER CONCERN I HAD IN LOOKING AT YOUR CRIME STATISTICS, UM, WE HAD, AGAIN, THIS IS, UH, SLIDE FIVE. 
          AS I SAID, WE HAD MORE ARRESTS, MORE FELONY WARRANTS WERE SERVED, MORE NARCOTICS CHANGES, MORE GANG UH CHARGES, MORE GANG MEMBERS ARRESTED. 
          UH, BUT WE'VE ACTUALLY SEIZED FEWER WEAPONS IN THAT SAME PERIOD OF TIME. 
          THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE WEAPONS. 
          I MEAN, HOW COME WE'RE SEIZING LESS WEAPONS AND WE'RE ARRESTING MORE CRIMINALS? UH, TO ME THAT WAS VERY SURPRISING. 
          AND I THINK IT'S VERY CONCERNING, UH, IN OUR COMMUNITY AND SOMETHING THIS COUNCIL'S THOUGHT ABOUT THAT WE NEED TO GET MORE WEAPONS OFF THE STREETS. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST VERY SURPRISING THAT WE'VE GOTTEN SO FEW WEAPONS COLLECTED AND WE'VE MADE SO MANY ARRESTS. 
          ONE, UH, SLIGHTLY RELATED ISSUE THAT I HAD ABOUT THIS VERY SUBJECT IS THE COURT, UH, THE MUNICIPAL COURT, UH, ISSUES TO ANYONE WHO'S ARRESTED, UH, FOR, UH, INTIMATE VIOLENCE OR, UH, ABUSE OF 
          [03:05:01]
CHILDREN OR SPOUSE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          AND THEY'RE TAKEN TO COURT AND THEY'RE PENDING CHARGES ON THAT ARE TOLD THEY ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO POSSESS A WEAPON. 
          AND WE'RE REPORTING THOSE PEOPLE TO THE STATE OVER THAT. 
          UH, BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING TO ENSURE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE WEAPONS? EVEN THOUGH THE COURT IS SAYING YOU'RE BEING ORDERED NOT TO HAVE WEAPONS, IS ANYTHING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOING TO ENSURE THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE ADHERING TO THOSE ORDERS NOT TO POSSESS WEAPONS? THOSE, THOSE ORDERS DO NOT COME OVER TO US. 
          COUNCILMAN, THAT THAT IS, THAT'S, I GUESS YOU'D CALL IT A GAP IN THE SYSTEM, BUT WE'RE NOT, UH, WE'RE NOT TASKED WITH, UH, I MEAN, WE HAVE NO IDEA THAT THEY'RE BEING TOLD THAT AT, AT MAGISTRATION. 
          UH, IF, IF THERE'S A, UH, UM, WEAPONS THAT ARE, THAT ARE BEING HELD BY THOSE FOLKS, IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEY EITHER HAVE TO TURN 'EM IN OR THEY'RE GONNA HIDE THEM. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IF SOMEBODY'S BEING ACCUSED OF DOMESTIC ABUSE AND THEY'RE TOLD NOT TO HAVE A GUN, THERE'S NOTHING WE'RE DOING TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T, WE, WE TAKE THEM ON THE SCENE WHEN WE MAKE ARRESTS, UHHUH, IF THEY'RE IN PLAIN VIEW, OR IF THEY'RE POINTED OUT TO US TO BE IN SOME OTHER LOCATION BY THE, BY THE VICTIM. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT, UM, UH, AS FAR AS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT GOES, THAT'S THE GAP IN THE SYSTEM. 
          WELL, I HOPE WE CAN WORK ON, ON FIXING THAT GAP. 
          I THINK THAT'S ABOUT THE MAIN THINGS I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT. 
          CHIEF MCMANUS. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHIEF HOOD. 
          I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, UH, THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER FOR ME. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT HOW, UM, OUR TECHNICAL RESCUE TEAMS OFTENTIMES, OR A FEW TIMES HAVE BEEN CALLED OUT TO OTHER AREAS TO ASSIST IN, IN RESCUE PROBLEMS. UM, AND YOU EVEN SAID, FOR EXAMPLE, OUR COMMAND BUS MAY BE CALLED UPON BY OTHERS. 
          UH, DOES THE CITY GET REIMBURSED WHEN THEY GO OUT AND DO THESE THINGS? ABS? YES, ABSOLUTELY, SIR. 
          UM, DEPENDING ON WHETHER IT'S FROM THE FOREST SERVICE OR FROM A, WHETHER IT'S FROM THE STATE. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO BE REIMBURSED ON THOSE LONG DEPLOYMENTS. 
          SAY FOR INSTANCE, WE HAD A, UH, A TANKER ACCIDENT IN, WHERE DID WE GO? RIGHT OUTSIDE GOING TOWARD CORPUS. 
          IT WAS YOUR SHIFT. 
          SMALL TOWN. 
          A SMALL TOWN, AND WE PROBABLY SENT 50 OR 60 PERSONNEL OUT THERE TO HELP THEM. 
          WE'RE NOT GONNA CHARGE THEM FOR THAT, BUT IF WE GO ON A DEPLOYMENT TO WHERE THE STATE HAS REQUESTED US OR THE FOREST SERVICE SAYING CALIFORNIA, THEY'RE GOING TO BASICALLY PAY PORTAL TO PORTAL FOR US. 
          AND SO IF, UM, YOU LOOK AT, SAY, THE CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE, WE WERE DEPLOYED 77 HOURS. 
          THE DEPLOYED AMOUNT, UM, WAS, UH, THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN $88. 
          BUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE DEPLOYMENTS WE LOOK AT FOR THE CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES IN NOVEMBER, UH, WE HAD 1200 HOURS, ALMOST 1300 HOURS. 
          AND SO THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR THAT WAS $86,000. 
          SO WE DO GET REIMBURSED ON THOSE INCIDENTS WHERE WE RESPOND TO LIKE THAT. 
          DO WE HAVE A PARTICULAR POLICY THAT OUTLINES WHERE WE MIGHT NOT REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT? UH, AND WHERE WE DO REQUIRE REIMBURSEMENT? WELL, IF, IF, IF WE HAVE AN INCIDENT WITHIN THIS REGION THAT WE'RE GONNA BE OUTTA SERVICE FOR THREE OR FOUR HOURS, CHANCES ARE WE'RE NOT GONNA CHARGE THEM. 
          WE'RE GONNA GO HELP THEM. 
          BUT IF IT'S A DEPLOYABLE INCIDENT TO WHERE THE STATE OF TEXAS CALLS US, WE ALREADY HAVE, UH, AGREEMENTS WITH THEM. 
          WE HAVE MEMBERS ON TEXAS TASK FORCE ONE, WHICH IS A URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE TASK FORCE. 
          AND SO THEY MAY NEED SIX OF OUR MEMBERS. 
          I'VE GOT A PERSON OUT RIGHT NOW, UH, DOING WILDFIRES ON AN INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAM. 
          HE IS GOING TO BE REPAID BY THE STATE. 
          SO WE HAVE AGREEMENTS, UM, ON, ON ALL THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE WE'RE DEPLOYING ASSETS. 
          SO DO WE HAVE, UH, COSTS FOR ASSETS? I MEAN, THERE'S HUMAN COSTS, OBVIOUSLY SALARIES, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE COST OF EQUIPMENT, UH, REIMBURSEMENT, UH, FOR EQUIPMENT? OR IF YOU SEND OUT THE COMMAND BUS, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE COST FOR THAT BEING SOMEWHERE FOR, FOR, FOR PIECES OF EQUIPMENT? UH, SAY YOU SAY A FOREST FIRE, SAY WE SEND A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, THEY'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT EQUIPMENT. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO, IF YOU EVER SEE A FOREST FIRE AND SEE THOSE FIRE TRUCKS AND THEY GOT LIKE NUMBERS AND CHALK WRITTEN UP ON THE WINDOW, THOSE ARE COST FOR EQUIPMENT. 
          SO WE WOULD BE IN RE REIMBURSED FOR ANY EQUIPMENT THAT WE USE. 
          GENERALLY ON SOME OF THESE DEPLOYMENTS, WE'RE JUST SENDING MANPOWER AND THEIR PERSONAL EQUIPMENT. 
          THE STATE OF TEXAS ALREADY HAS A CASH OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE GONNA USE ONCE WE GET THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, COUNCILMAN, I WANTED TO 
          [03:10:01]
JUST ADD, UH, TO ONE OTHER FACTOR, LIKE, LIKE THE COMMAND BUS. 
          THE MAJORITY OF THAT BUS IS BEING FUNDED THROUGH YOU ASKED, WHICH IS, UH, A HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT. 
          UH, PART OF THE AGREEMENT THEN IS SINCE IT'S FUNDED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IF IT'S NEEDED IN THE REGION, WE WILL HELP DEPLOY THAT ASSET. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT, BUT, UH, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT'S AN ASSET THAT, THAT US LOCALLY UTILIZE. 
          THE, THE SECOND THING IS, IS THAT FOR OUR SMALLER MUNICIPALITIES IN THIS AREA, UH, WE DO HAVE MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS THAT, THAT SET THOSE, THOSE, UH, COSTS IN PLACE. 
          THE WEDGEWOOD FIRE IN CASTLE HILLS SEVERAL YEARS AGO, UM, THEY REIMBURSED US. 
          WE HAD A LOT OF, UH, UH, DAMAGE TO BUNKER GEAR BECAUSE THERE WAS ASBESTOS IN THE FIRE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND, UH, CASTLE HILLS REIMBURSED US FOR THAT EXPENSE. 
          GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTH. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UH, AND, YOU KNOW, DO YOU HAVE ANY RESULTS OF WHAT THE REDUCTION IN CALLS OR THE SAVINGS HAS BEEN? UH, BECAUSE WE WERE HAVING PEOPLE THAT WE WERE SERVICING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO THIS PROJECT WAS SUPPOSED TO REDUCE THAT AND SAVE US SOME MONEY, SAVE US ON CALLS. 
          DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ON THAT? YEAH, WE DO HAVE METRICS ON THAT. 
          I THOUGHT I KNEW THAT NUMBER. 
          IT'S A 60% DECREASE IN PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE SIGNED UP AS HIGH VOLUME UTILIZERS, 60% REDUCTION CAN, DO WE HAVE A DOLLAR VALUE THAT WE CAN ATTRIBUTE TO THAT? YES, CERTAINLY WE COULD GET THAT FOR YOU. 
          SURE. 
          AND ALSO LOOKING AT, UM, THE OUT MAN, THE, THE STAFFING HOURS AS FAR AS WHAT THAT INCIDENT WOULD TAKE. 
          BUT AGAIN, A 60% DROP A SIGNIFICANT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, THIS IS A QUESTION I THINK FOR OUR CITY STAFF AS WELL AS YOU AND, AND, UH, THE CHIEF OF POLICE, THE, UM, INVESTMENT WE'VE MADE OF, I DON'T REMEMBER, $40 MILLION ON THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BETWEEN FIRE POLICE, SAW C P SS, UH, ET CETERA, THE COUNTY. 
          UH, WHAT'S THE PROGRESS ON THAT? HOW FAR ALONG IS THAT INTEGRATED COMMUNICATIONS RADIO SYSTEM? UH, COUNCILMAN THAT, THAT PROGRESS, THAT PROJECT IS ONGOING. 
          ACTUALLY, WE HAVE A GROUNDBREAKING TOMORROW FOR THE FIRST TOWER SITE. 
          UM, AND, UH, WE ARE ON TRACK, ON SCHEDULE, AND ON BUDGET. 
          UH, IT'LL BE COMPLETED AND TURNED ON IN 2021. 
          SO IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED IN, UH, GOING TO A GROUNDBREAKING TOMORROW, WE'LL BE THERE WITH SAW WITH, I'M SORRY. 
          C YOU MENTIONED SAWS. 
          SAWS IS A UTILIZER UNDER THE C P S SYSTEM. 
          RIGHT? BUT IT'S C P S, THE COUNTY AND THE CITY THAT ARE THE PRIMARY PARTNERS AND CHIEF. 
          HAVE WE RESOLVED THE KIND OF RADIO THAT THE FIREFIGHTERS PREFER TO USE? HAS THAT BEEN RESOLVED AND IN PLACE NOW? YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'RE STILL CONTINUING LOOKING AT WHAT WORKS BEST FOR OUR FIREFIGHTERS. 
          AND SO, UM, THE MAIN THING IS TO HAVE A SYSTEM WHICH IS GOING UP AS, AS CITY MANAGER MENTIONED, AND THEN HAVING RADIOS THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THAT. 
          BUT WE'RE STILL LOOKING AND TESTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIREFIGHTERS HAVE A RADIO THAT THEY NEED. 
          BECAUSE THE RADIO THAT A POLICE OFFICER MAY USE FROM A FIREFIGHTER IS GONNA BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE'RE OURS IS GONNA GET WET. 
          IT'S GONNA BE SUBJECT TO HEAT. 
          SO THOSE TYPE OF THINGS YOU HAVE TO OPERATE WITH GLOVES ON. 
          SO THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THAT GONNA RESULT IN ANY ADDITIONAL COST TO US, DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY CHOOSE TO GET? NO, SIR. 
          UH, REMEMBER THAT DURING THAT CONVERSATION WITH THAT CONTRACT, WE BUILT INTO THAT CONTRACT, THE ABILITY TO GIVE THE, THE CITY AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, THE, UH, AUTHORITY TO DECIDE THE ACTUAL UNIT. 
          REMEMBER, THE UNITS ARE AGNOSTIC TO THE SYSTEM, AND WE DID SO PURPOSELY IN THE CONTRACT SO THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY IMPACT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I THINK THIS IS A LAST QUESTION. 
          YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT HOARDING BEING BEING A MAJOR PROBLEM. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UH, HAVE WE WORKED WITH AN, OR ANY ORGANIZATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, MEALS ON WHEELS TO IDENTIFY HOMES WHERE HOARDING COULD BE A PROBLEM? YOU KNOW, I'VE GONE OUT WITH THEM AND WE'VE DELIVERED, AND I'VE SEEN SOME PLACES I'VE GONE INTO THAT I'VE, I'VE THOUGHT THIS IS, THAT, THAT MAY BE THAT KIND OF A PROBLEM. 
          AND IF WE'VE GOT ORGANIZATIONS WE'RE WORKING WITH THAT HELP US IDENTIFY THOSE, WHAT CAN WE DO WHEN, WHEN WE DO IDENTIFY PLACES LIKE THAT, THAT COULD BE A FIRE TRAP? WE, UM, HAVE STARTED THIS PROJECT, AND MAINLY IT WAS INTERNAL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT ALL THE CITY, UM, DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED. 
          AND WE ACTUALLY FORGOT PD WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT, UH, WHO WE WERE GOING TO, UM, PUT INTO THIS TEAM. 
          I HAVE ALSO DELIVERED MEALS ON WHEELS AND HAVE BEEN IN THOUSANDS OF HOMES OVER THE YEARS TO WHERE YOU SEE HOARDING. 
          SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE PROBABLY GO INTO ABOUT 800 HOMES A YEAR, A A DAY. 
          SO OUR FIRE CREWS AND E M S CREWS, 
          [03:15:01]
IF THEY GO IN THOSE HOMES, THEY'RE IDENTIFYING HOARDERS. 
          WE'RE GETTING THAT ADDRESS BACK IN THE DISPATCH SYSTEM. 
          WE'RE PUTTING THAT ADDRESS UP ON THE BOARD SO EVERYBODY KNOWS, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE REACHING OUT TO PARTNERS. 
          I WAS JUST TOLD CHIEF WHEAT, SHOW ME WE GOT A MEETING WITH MEALS ON MEALS, MEALS ON WHEELS NEXT WEEK. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO STRENGTHEN UP THE COORDINATION BETWEEN, UH, INTERNALLY AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GO OUT AND REACH OUT TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT COULD HELP US IDENTIFY HOARDERS. 
          AND THEN ONCE WE IDENTIFY 'EM, WHAT DO WE DO WITH 'EM? RIGHT. 
          AND SO WE'RE GONNA NEED HELP WITH THAT ALSO. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT HOARDING IS A BIG PROBLEM, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT AT YOUR MEETINGS, WE NEED TO GET THAT INFORMATION OUT LIKE WE DID TO COUNCILMAN PERRY'S LAST NIGHT, AND I GUARANTEE THERE'S A BUNCH OF COLLECTORS IN THERE. 
          AND SO WHAT YOU COLLECT COULD END UP KILLING YOU IF, IF YOU'RE COLLECTING TOO MUCH OF IT. 
          IT, SO WE WILL BE MEETING WITH MEALS ON WHEELS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THIS, UH, CITY THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US OUT WITH THAT PROJECT. 
          BUT THE MAIN THING RIGHT NOW IS YOUR HELP IS TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON IT. 
          YEAH. 
          IT SEEMS TO ME IT'S A, IT'S A PROBLEM. 
          NOT EXACTLY ALIKE, BUT SIMILAR TO HOMELESS. 
          I MEAN, HOMELESS CREATE, HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND, AND HOARDERS, UH, ALMOST AN OPPOSITE, BUT STILL A DIFFICULT SITUATION TO DEAL WITH. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO NEED TO TRY AND FIND AN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OR WELFARE VISITORS TRYING TO WORK WITH PEOPLE IN THOSE SITUATIONS TO HELP THEM BE BETTER PREPARED TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          THANK YOU, MA'AM. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN COURAGE. 
          WE HAVE ONE FINAL SPEAKER. 
          I WANNA TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THOSE OF YOU ALL STILL HANDING, HANGING ON PUBLIC SAFETY IS A VERY IMPORTANT, UH, CONCERN FOR ALL OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR INDULGING US WITH YOUR PRESENCE. 
          COUNCILMAN RINGO. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR PROMAN. 
          AND I'LL BE QUICK. 
          UM, JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR, FOR TODAY, UH, TO, TO GO OFF OF WHAT COUNCILMAN K WAS SAYING, I, I TOO, UH, HAVE GONE WITH, UH, MEALS ON WHEELS THAT HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF THE, UM, THE HOARDING THAT HAPPENS OUT THERE. 
          BUT JEN, I THINK THIS SORT OF TALKS A LOT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER COLLATERAL ISSUES THAT, THAT, THAT GO ALONG WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO, UH, I JUST WANNA APPLAUD, UH, YOU CHIEF FOR THE, UH, MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE. 
          AND MY, MY ONLY, UH, QUESTION, AND WE CAN, YOU CAN ANSWER THIS LATER, BUT, UH, I WOULD ASK THAT, UH, AS WE'RE ASSESSING THESE, THESE, UH, FACILITIES OR THESE HOMES, YOU TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE MAINTENANCE. 
          I THINK THAT THE ISSUE REALLY IS, UH, NOT JUST HOARDING, BUT IF SOMEBODY'S HOARDING, THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR HOME. 
          AND, AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THEY PROBABLY HAVE A LEAKY ROOF. 
          GUESS WHAT? WE GOT A ROOF PROGRAM. 
          SO PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME, HOW DO WE IDENTIFY SOME OF THESE FOLKS? WELL, I THINK THIS IS A, A GREAT, UH, WAY TO, TO GET THAT GOING AND SOME, AND CONNECT SOME OF THOSE DOTS. 
          I THINK THAT WAS PART OF THE, THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED EARLIER. 
          UM, SO I, I WOULD ASK THAT WE, WE CONNECT SOME OF THOSE DOTS FOR EVERYBODY. 
          AND, UH, CHIEF, UH, MCMANUS, UH, I JUST WANNA THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          UH, I, UH, I THINK A LOT OF QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED OF YOU AND WANNA THANK YOU FOR COMING UP WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT OFFICERS. 
          I THINK THAT THAT'S GONNA BE, UH, CRITICAL IN DISTRICT ONE, BUT ALL OVER THE CITY FOR, FOR THAT MATTER. 
          UM, AND CERTAINLY APPRECIATE, UH, ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE, UH, WITH THE KEY PRIORITIES, WHICH I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH, UH, WITH REGARDS TO FAMILY VIOLENCE OFFICER AVAILABILITY AND STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          UM, AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY NEED TO, UH, TALK A LOT MORE, TALK A LOT MORE ABOUT, UH, WHERE YOU HELP OUT A LOT OF, UH, NEIGHBORHOODS THAT, THAT ARE IN DISTRESS. 
          UH, YOU HELP 'EM COME UP WITH A STRATEGIC PLAN TO, TO ADDRESS VERY SPECIFIC ISSUES. 
          AND I, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO ONE SILVER BULLET. 
          UH, I THINK THE THE ISSUE IS, IS TO WORK WITH YOUR TEAM, UH, WORK ON, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, UH, THE, THE, THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU DO HAVE AND HOW WE CAN, UH, USE YOUR EXPERTISE TO, TO HELP US ADDRESS THESE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES. 
          SO, SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN VINEO. 
          THE TIME IS NOW 1:33 PM ON TUESDAY, AUGUST THE 20TH, AND THE SAN ANTONIO CITY COUNCIL WILL NOW RECESS FOR A QUICK LUNCH AND RECONVENE AT 2:00 PM IF I COULD GET EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

          [03:20:03]
YOU'RE ON JUDGE. 
          UM, I'M HERE WITH FRED GARCIA, THE CLERK OF THE COURT, AND WE'RE HERE TO GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION. 
          UM, I WAS GONNA DO A VIDEO LIKE THE CHIEF HOODS, BUT I COULDN'T GET THE, UH, PERMISSION FROM GUNS N ROSES FOR WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE. 
          I COULDN'T GET APPROVAL FOR THAT. 
          SO, UM, YOU GOTTA USE PUBLIC DOMAIN, AREN'T YOU? ? SO, UM, THE SAN ANTONIO MUNICIPAL COURT IS A COURT OF RECORD. 
          WE'RE THE SECOND LARGEST COURT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          WE'RE THE SEVENTH LARGEST IN THE UNITED STATES. 
          UM, OUR VISION IS WE SEEK TO PROVIDE A LEGAL SYSTEM BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT AN INDEPENDENT, FAIR AND COMPETENT JUDICIARY WILL INTERPRET AND APPLY TO LAWS GOVERNING US AND, AND JUDGES AND COURT PERSONNEL PROMOTE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY AND IMPARTIALITY OF THE JUDICIARY. 
          OUR ORGANIZATIONAL CHART, UM, WE HAD A CONSULTANT COME IN 2006 WHEN MAYOR HARDBERGER WAS MAYOR AT THE TIME, AND HE PRE PRESENTED FINDINGS TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE COURT WAS KIND OF VIEWED AS A DEPARTMENT UNDER THE CITY MANAGER. 
          AND, AND HE PROVIDED FUND, UH, FINDINGS THAT SAID THAT THE COURT NEEDED TO BE AN INDEPENDENT BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT, AND THE PRESIDING JUDGE NEEDED TO BE THE ORGANIZATIONAL HEAD OF THE ENTIRE COURT. 
          AND THAT IS THE WAY THAT WE'VE OPERATED SINCE 2006. 
          THE COURT CONSISTS OF JUDICIARY. 
          WE NOW DO THE MAGISTRATION OPERATION, UH, WHERE WE'RE PERFORMING THAT FUNCTION OF SEEING EVERYBODY THAT GETS ARRESTED IN BEXAR COUNTY. 
          UM, AND THAT IS OPERATING 24 7. 
          WE HAVE THE REGULAR DAY-TO-DAY COURT OPERATIONS THAT HANDLES THE CLASS C VIOLATIONS AND CIVIL CASES THAT GET FILED. 
          WE HAVE A SEPARATE OPERATION THAT IS THE JUVENILE COURT, WHICH, UM, WE EMPLOY CASE MANAGERS. 
          WE ARE THE ONLY LARGE COURT IN THE STATE THAT RECEIVED A GOVERNOR'S GRANT TO FUND, UH, A LARGE PORTION OF OUR JUVENILE CASE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT TO DO PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION WITH KIDS THAT ARE EITHER HAVING ATTENDANCE PROBLEMS OR THEY'RE CHARGED WITH A FIRST TYPE OFFENSE. 
          UM, IT'S KIND OF A DIVERSION PROGRAM. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SECTION, AND WE HAVE ON THE, THE SLIDE THERE WHAT THE PERSONNEL CONSISTS OF IN EACH OF THOSE SECTIONS. 
          IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE, UM, THIS IS OUR PROPOSED BUDGET. 
          I WANTED TO CLARIFY ONE THING. 
          UM, AND I THINK THIS IS GONNA BE A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN THE WAY WE PRESENT THE BUDGET FROM HERE ON OUT. 
          THERE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT ALL OF THE LARGE MUNICIPAL COURTS ARE DEALING WITH. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE THERE IN THE BLUE WHERE IT SAYS THAT THE GENERAL FUND REVENUE IS 11.8 MILLION. 
          THE COURT, HUH? THE, THE 12.1 IS THE REVENUE. 
          OH, 12.1. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          12.1. 
          THE THING THAT'S MISSING IN THERE IS THE COURT ACTUALLY COLLECTS LAST YEAR, $24 MILLION. 
          60% OF WHAT'S PAID AT MUNICIPAL COURT IS REMITTED TO THE STATE FOR STATE MANDATED COURT COSTS. 
          AND I'M GONNA GO OVER THAT BRIEFLY, BUT THOSE INCREASE EVERY YEAR. 
          UM, AND THOSE ARE THE FEES THAT HAVE TO BE COLLECTED FIRST. 
          SO WHEN YOU GET A TRAFFIC TICKET, NOW, THE FIRST $104 OF THAT TRAFFIC TICKET IS STATE MANDATED COURT COSTS. 
          WHAT'S EMBEDDED IN STATE MANDATED COURT COSTS IS ALL THE MONEY THAT PAYS FOR COURT APPOINTED LAWYERS ON CRIMINAL CASES IN BEXAR COUNTY. 
          WE COLLECT THAT FEE. 
          WE, WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS COURT APPOINTED LAWYERS, BUT WE FUND THROUGH THE, WHAT IS IT, THE INDIGENT DEFENSE PLAN. 
          WE, WE, THAT ONE WE PAY, WE PAY FOR THE, THE, UM, WHAT IS IT? THE VICTIM COMPENSATION VICTIM COMPENSATION FUND. 
          WE COLLECT THAT AT MUNICIPAL COURT THAT GOES TO AUSTIN WHEN THE DISTRICT JUDGES WANTED RAISES BECAUSE THE LEGISLATURE'S RETIREMENT IS BASED ON DISTRICT JUDGE SALARIES. 
          THAT IS AN EMBEDDED COURT COST. 
          SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT. 
          WELL, WE'RE MUNICIPAL COURT, WE'RE COLLECTING FEES AND FINES BOTH FOR THE CITY AND FOR THE STATE. 
          AND SO, SO THE NUMBERS TEND TO, AS JUDGES, WE ONLY SEE IT AS WHAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH. 
          UM, YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT LINE. 
          THE OPERATIONS OF THE COURT IS, WE'RE THE ONLY COURT IN TEXAS. 
          WE HAVE A GENERAL APPEARANCE COURT WHERE, REGARDLESS IF YOU GET A TRAFFIC VIOLATION, REGARDLESS OF THE TIME AND DAY THAT YOU'RE SET TO APPEAR, WE HAVE A WALK-IN COURT. 
          [03:25:01]
AND SO ANYBODY CAN COME AT ANY TIME DURING REGULAR OPERATING HOURS. 
          AND THAT IS THE HIGH VOLUME COURT. 
          UM, WE'VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH COUNCILMAN PALAIS TO TRY TO COME UP WITH, WITH METRICS IS TO MEASURE THINGS. 
          ONE OF THOSE THAT IS A RECOGNIZED WITH THE NATIONAL STATE COURTS IS CLEARANCE RATES IN OUR ADJUDICATION COURT, WHICH HANDLES ABOUT 72% OF ALL OUR VOLUME AT MUNICIPAL COURT. 
          WE HAVE A 97% CLEARANCE RATE IN THAT COURT. 
          AND WE DO THAT BY TRYING TO WORK WITH THE CITIZENS AND GIVING THEM OPTIONS WHEN THEY APPEAR. 
          WE HAVE AN AVERAGE OF 1000 PEOPLE APPEARING A DAY, 141,000 CASE FILINGS. 
          WE'VE U UTILIZED TECHNOLOGY. 
          UM, WE ARE THE ONLY COURT AND GOT A LOT OF RECOGNITION FOR THIS. 
          WE HAVE INTERACTIVE KIOSKS AT H E B FOR PEOPLE THAT DO NOT WANT TO CONTEST THEIR TICKET. 
          THEY GO TO THE KIOSK, THEY CALL IN AND THEY TALK TO THE JUDGE IN REAL TIME. 
          AND IF THEY WANNA DO PROBATION OR DEFENSIVE DRIVING, THEY PAY WITH CREDIT CARD. 
          WE INVENTED THAT AND NO OTHER COURT'S BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THAT YET. 
          UM, AND 64 PER 4% IN-PERSON SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. 
          WE HAVE SEVERAL SPECIALTY DOCKETS AND ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS. 
          OUR SPECIALTY DOCKETS ARE THE ASSAULT CASES, THE ANIMAL CASES, ENVIRONMENTAL CODE COMPLIANCE CASES. 
          WE HAVE CIVIL HEARINGS, WHICH WE CREATED A FEW YEARS AGO, WHICH RELATES TO SOME OF THE CODE COMPLIANCE CASES THAT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SEEK, GET IT FIXED. 
          AND SO WE MOVE THAT TO A CIVIL PROCESS COMPARABLE TO A PARKING TICKET TO WHERE THEY HAVE TIME TO CORRECT WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS. 
          UM, BUT YOU'RE NOT GETTING INTO THE CRIMINAL SIDE WHERE IT'S A JURY TRIAL AND WARRANTS ISSUE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          AND, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE PARKING VIOLATIONS. 
          WE HAVE TWO CIVIL HEARING JUDGES, UH, IN ADDITION TO THE 11 MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGES, INCLUDING ME AND THE NINE PART-TIME JUDGES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. 
          THE PERFORMANCE OF THOSE COURTS IS, THERE WERE 1022 FAMILY VIOLENCE CASES FILED. 
          1,676 ANIMAL CASES FILED. 
          OUR ANIMAL COURT WAS ACTUALLY FEATURED IN, I THINK THE NEW YORK TIMES CAME DOWN BECAUSE WE WERE LIKE THE ONLY COURT THAT SET UP ONE JUST TO DEAL WITH ANIMAL VIOLATIONS. 
          12,000 CIVIL CASES FILED, AND ALMOST 50,000 PARKING CASES FILED. 
          147 FAMILY VIOLENCE CONVICTIONS WERE, HAVE BEEN REPORTED PURSUANT TO AN INITIATIVE THAT COUNCILMAN COURAGE HAD BROUGHT UP. 
          AND WE WERE THE FIRST COURT TO BEGIN REPORTING CLASS C FAMILY VIOLENCE CONVICTIONS. 
          AND NOW THAT'S THE LAW. 
          UH, SO THAT WE, WE, UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE IMPLEMENTED OVER THE LAST YEAR. 
          OUR JUVENILE SERVICES. 
          UM, WE HAVE BOTH COURT BASED CASE MANAGERS AND SCHOOL-BASED CASE MANAGERS. 
          THE SCHOOL-BASED CASE MANAGERS WORK WITH KIDS THAT ARE HAVING ATTENDANCE PROBLEMS. THE, THE COURT BASED CASE MANAGERS DEAL WITH VIOLATIONS SUCH AS THEFT, MINOR ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS, DISORDERLY CONDUCT, ANY NUMBER OF OF THINGS THAT GET FILED SINCE WE'VE MOVED TO, AND SOME OF YOU THAT ARE NEW, UM, WHEN THE SAN ANTONIO MUNICIPAL COURT TOOK OVER ALL SCHOOL ATTENDANCE FOR ALL 16 SCHOOL DISTRICTS, UH, THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 30,000 CRIMINAL SCHOOL ATTENDANCE CASES BEING FILED A YEAR. 
          UM, THAT WAS MOVED TO OUR COURT WHILE IT WAS STILL CRIMINALIZED. 
          WE REDUCED THOSE NUMBERS TO 16,000. 
          AND THEN WE ADVOCATED, I WAS THE ONLY JUDGE IN THE STATE THAT ADVOCATED FOR DECRIMINALIZATION. 
          AND THAT HAPPENED. 
          AND SENATOR WHITMEYER SAID THAT THEY, THE SAN ANTONIO MODEL IN DRAFTING THE LEGISLATION TO FOCUS ON INTERVENTION AND NO LONGER CRIMINALIZE CHILDREN THAT WERE MISSING SCHOOL. 
          'CAUSE WE RECOGNIZE THEY DON'T HAVE TRUANCY PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE PROBLEMS THAT ARE MAKING THEM TRUANT. 
          OUR CASE MANAGERS WORK WITH THE KIDS. 
          OUR SYSTEM THAT'S SET UP NOW IS CALLED MEDIATION. 
          NO FORMAL CASE GETS FILED, BUT ONCE IT'S REACHED A A POINT WHERE IT'S NOT WORKING AT THE SCHOOL, THEN WE HAVE 'EM APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGE. 
          WE HAD 8,000 OF THOSE FILED THIS PAST YEAR. 
          UM, THE, THE AT THE GENERAL PROGRAM ATTENDANCE FOR THE JUVENILE, UH, PROGRAMS IS 85%. 
          WE'VE ONLY HAD TO FILE, NOW REMEMBER IT USED TO BE 30,000. 
          THEY DID KEEP THE CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR PARENTS. 
          WE'VE, WE ONLY HAD 49 PARENT CONTRIBUTING CASES FILED LAST YEAR. 
          SO OUR TRUANCY DOCKET APPEARANCE RATE IS 85%. 
          THIS WAS THE THING I WAS TALKING ABOUT. 
          SO, SO THE COURT COSTS YOU'LL SEE ARE NOW INCREASING. 
          UM, 
          [03:30:01]
THIS YEAR, ONCE AGAIN, STATE MAN MANDATED COURT CA COSTS, THEY ELIMINATED SURCHARGES, UM, WHICH WAS A BIG IMPEDIMENT TO PEOPLE AND BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR LICENSE. 
          AND IT WAS WHEN YOU GOT SO MANY TICKETS, YOU HAD A, A SURCHARGE THAT YOU HAD TO PAY TO KEEP YOUR LICENSE CURRENT. 
          AND IT GOT TO A POINT WHERE WHAT WE WERE SEEING IN COURT IS OVER HALF THE PEOPLE APPEARING DIDN'T HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE, NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE HORRIBLE DRIVERS, BUT IT WAS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T PAY THE SURCHARGE TO KEEP THEIR LICENSE. 
          THE LEGISLATURE JUST ELIMINATED THE SURCHARGE PROGRAM. 
          BUT TO COMPENSATE FOR THE SUR CHARGE MONEY, THEY'VE INCREASED OUR COURT COSTS AGAIN. 
          SO WE'VE PUT AN EXAMPLE AS TO WHAT A BASE FINE WOULD BE, AND IF YOU GOT A TRAFFIC TICKET, HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. 
          UM, SO, SO CURRENTLY, IF, IF YOU GET A REGULAR DISREGARDING A STOP SIGN, WE HAVE A BASE FINE THAT WE WORK WITH PLUS THE STATE MANDATED COURT COSTS. 
          SO THAT TICKET'S GONNA COST SOMEBODY $202. 
          WE CAN DO A MAX FINE OF $200 ON ALL TRAFFIC CASES, BUT MOST OF, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR OWN DISTRICTS, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME PEOPLE TO HAVE TO, EVERYBODY HAS TO PAY $350 ON A TRAFFIC TICKET. 
          AND WE'VE MADE A, A GOOD POINT OF TRYING TO WORK WITH THE PEOPLE THAT APPEAR IN OUR COURTS. 
          OUT OF ALL THE COURT COSTS, WE DO GET TO KEEP FOUR IN-HOUSE IN 99. 
          THEY, THEY PROVIDED A COURTS, UH, TECHNOLOGY FEE THAT WE CAN ASSESS. 
          UM, WE'RE PROBABLY THE ONLY DEPARTMENT THAT DOESN'T GET ANY GENERAL FUND MONEY TO FUND OUR CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. 
          WE'VE ONLY PAID FOR THAT OUT OF THIS ENTERPRISE FUND ON FEES COLLECTED. 
          ALTHOUGH THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK WITH OUR CURRENT VENDOR BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE, THE MAINTENANCE FEES ARE KIND OF EXCEEDING WHAT IS IN THE FUND. 
          UH, WE HAVE THE JUVENILE CASE MANAGEMENT FUND. 
          WE HAVE A COURT SECURITY FEE, WHICH THEY'RE ALLOWING US TO CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL DOLLAR, AND WE USE THAT TO PAY FOR BAILIFFS SECURITY SCREENING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          UH, WE WORKED, I WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH REBECCA FLORES AND D H SS ON YOUTH REENGAGEMENT. 
          IT, UH, OUR TRUANCY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS KIND OF, UH, EVOLVED TO THE YOUTH REENGAGEMENT BECAUSE WE WERE FINDING SO MANY KIDS THAT THAT NEEDED AN ALTERNATIVE. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD STARTED TO FOCUS ON WAS WHAT ARE CALLED LEVER LISTS. 
          I THINK COUNCILMAN COURAGE MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THAT, BUT, BUT EVERY SUMMER THEY HAVE A LEVER LIST OF KIDS THAT WERE ENROLLED IN SEPTEMBER AND WEREN'T IN SCHOOL ANYMORE. 
          AND WE, WE CHASE 'EM, WE GET THE LIST OF LEAVERS AND WE TRACK 'EM DOWN AND FIND 'EM. 
          UM, THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS THAT HAVE DROPPED OUT. 
          THE YOUTH REENGAGEMENT IS FOCUSED ON 16 TO 24 YEAR OLDS THAT AREN'T WORKING AND AREN'T IN SCHOOL. 
          AND SAN ANTONIO HAS THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF YOUNG ADULTS THAT FIT WITHIN THAT CATEGORY. 
          THEY ESTIMATE IT TO BE 30,000, AND IT'S HOVERING RIGHT ABOUT 14%, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THAN HOUSTON AND DALLAS. 
          UM, AND SO THIS HAS BEEN VERY PRODUCTIVE. 
          WE REFER KIDS TO THE YOUTH REENGAGEMENT CENTER, AND THEN D H S IS ALSO GETTING PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT AND COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED. 
          UM, SO THAT NUMBER JUST REFLECTS WHAT THE COURTS REFERRED TO THE YOUTH RE-ENGAGEMENT CENTER THIS YEAR SINCE IT WENT INTO OPERATION. 
          WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF OUTREACH PROGRAMS THIS YEAR. 
          UM, WE'RE TRYING TO, TO GET OUT THERE AND, AND GIVE MORE TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAMS TO YOUTH SCHOOLS, PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          WE DO MUNICIPAL COURTS WEEK. 
          WE'VE WORKED WITH BIG BROTHERS AND SISTERS. 
          WE'VE RE THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL COURTS EDUCATION CENTER. 
          UH, FOR 2019, WE GOT THE MUNICIPAL TRAFFIC SAFETY AWARD FOR ALL OF THE MUNICIPAL COURTS IN, IN TEXAS FOR THE PROGRAMS WE'VE INITIATED. 
          YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          UM, WE ASSUMED MAGISTRATION SERVICES LAST NOVEMBER. 
          THE MUNICIPAL JUDGES DID MAGISTRATION FOR 30 YEARS PRECEDING 2007. 
          UM, JUST SOME ISSUES CAME UP AND THERE WAS A DECISION MADE THAT THE CITY JUDGES WOULD BEGIN MAGISTRATE AGAIN. 
          UM, EVERYBODY THAT WENT HAD AN ONSITE ARREST FROM SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          AND, UM, UM, AND THEN PEOPLE THAT WERE ARRESTED ON TRAFFIC TICKETS ON MAY 1ST COMMISSIONER'S COURT, UM, BY INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, UH, ASKED THAT THE CITY JUDGES START PERFORMING MAGISTRATION FOR ALL ARRESTEES IN BEXAR COUNTY. 
          WE DO THAT BY VIDEO FROM FRANK WING. 
          UM, WE'VE PUT THE NUMBERS THERE. 
          SINCE WE'VE BEEN 
          [03:35:01]
DOING THIS, WE'VE OF CLASS B OR HIGHER OFFENSES, WE'VE MAGISTRATED 10,374 SINCE I'VE BEEN WORKING NIGHTS. 
          MOST OF THE TIME I PROBABLY ACCOUNT FOR 40% OF THAT, UM, OF THE CLASS C VIOLATIONS, TRAFFIC TICKETS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, 22,248 CASES THAT WE'VE MAGISTRATED OH, GO BACK REAL QUICK. 
          I JUST WANTED, I DID WANT TO ADD ONE THING. 
          ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE COUNTY HAD REQUESTED THAT WE START PERFORMING THEIR MAGISTRATION IS THERE WERE SOME CHANGES THAT I IMPLEMENTED AS PRESIDING JUDGE THAT WERE NOT IN EFFECT, THE MAGISTRATION OPERATION WAS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SANDRA BLAND ACT, AND THERE WERE NO, OR VERY LIMITED ORDERS BEING DONE FOR MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATIONS. 
          UM, I IMPLEMENTED THAT PROGRAM TO ALLOW THE JAIL BECAUSE THERE WERE A COUPLE OF INCIDENT INSTANCES OF, OF HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS THAT DIED IN THE JAIL. 
          UH, AND THEY WEREN'T FLAGGED AS HAVING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. 
          SO WE, WE NOW ON ANYBODY THAT THERE'S ANY INDICATION THAT THERE MAY BE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, WE ORDER THE EVALUATION AND THAT IMMEDIATELY FLAGS THEM AND PUTS 'EM ON THE MENTAL HEALTH DIRECTION. 
          THE OTHER THING WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THAT NEVER EXISTED IN BEXAR COUNTY IS ALL OF OUR MAGISTRATION HEARINGS ARE NOW CONTESTED HEARINGS. 
          IT USED TO BE JUST THE JUDGE IN THERE, MAGISTRATES SET THE BOND, SEND THEM THROUGH AT EVERY MAGISTRATE HEARING. 
          NOW WE HAVE A DISTRICT ATTORNEY PRESENT AND A PUBLIC DEFENDER PRESENT, AND THEY BOTH REVIEW THE HISTORY AND STUFF, AND THEY BOTH MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE JUDGE, WHICH IS THE WAY IT PROBABLY AL ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN. 
          UM, THAT WAS DIFFICULT TO ROLL OUT. 
          BUT I WAS ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THAT PLAN. 
          AND THOSE WERE TWO THINGS THAT WERE NON-EXISTENT WHEN WE BE, WHEN, UH, WE TOOK OVER THE MAGISTRATE FROM THE COUNTY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ON EMBEDDING EQUITY AND MUNICIPAL COURTS, I HAD GOTTEN A STRANGE EMAIL FROM EQUITY SAYING THAT, THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK WE WERE IN COMPLIANCE. 
          AND SO I HAD TO GO BACK BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF THAT WE HAVE DONE THAT I GUESS PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE PROVIDE VARIOUS LANGUAGE INTERPRETATIONS. 
          UH, WE USE LANGUAGE LINE OVERNIGHT. 
          WE HAVE A SPANISH LANGUAGE INTERPRETER AT THE COURT. 
          UH, 49 OF OUR, UH, EMPLOYEES ARE PAID FOR LANGUAGE SKILLS. 
          WE HAVE A RESOLUTION COURT FOR, FOR INDIGENCY ISSUES. 
          AND I, WHAT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT ON THAT, WHILE THE CITY OF AUSTIN, CITY OF EL PASO, UH, DALLAS HOUSTON WERE ALL GETTING SUED OR THREATENED TO BE SUED FOR PRACTICES OF JAILING PEOPLE THAT OWED MONEY ON TICKETS, WHICH THEY WERE REFERRING TO AS DEBTOR PRISONS, OUR COURT QUIT COMMITTING PEOPLE TO JAIL ON TICKETS 10 YEARS AGO. 
          WE WERE THE ONLY MUNICIPAL COURT IN THE STATE THAT DID THAT. 
          WE WERE RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY POST FERGUSON, AS A NATIONAL MODEL AS TO HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH PEOPLE. 
          UM, AND, AND I, THERE WAS EVEN AN ARTICLE IN, UM, TEXAS MONTHLY THAT REFERRED TO THE SAN ANTONIO MUNICIPAL COURT AS THE SHINING CITY ON THE HILL, AS THE ONLY COURT IN TEXAS THAT WASN'T SENDING PEOPLE TO JAIL TO LAY OUT FINES ON A TRAFFIC TICKET. 
          AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE, WE, WE, AND I WAS IN, I WORKED CLOSELY WITH, WITH SENATOR ZINI ON SENATE BILL, UH, 1913, WHICH PRETTY MUCH ELIMINATED THAT PRACTICE AND PUT A LOT OF, UM, CHECKS AND BALANCES IN THE PROCESS. 
          THE JUVENILE COURT, WE WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING THE LAW CHANGED IN TEXAS TO DECRIMINALIZE TRUANCY. 
          UH, ALL WE DO IN THAT COURT IS WORK WITH CHILDREN AND TRY TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE AND WHAT THE IMPEDIMENTS TO ATTENDANCE ARE, AND TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DIVERT THEM FROM EVER MAKING IT INTO THE COURT SYSTEM. 
          UM, SO EVERYTHING WE DO OVER THERE, YOU'LL ALSO FIND THAT OUR JUDICIAL STAFF IS VERY DIVERSE. 
          UM, AND, AND SO, SO IS OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR EMPLOYEES THERE AT THE COURT. 
          UM, SOME OF THE 2 20 20 ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE WANT TO DO, AND THIS WAS SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE WORKED WITH COUNCILMAN PELLI ON. 
          WE'RE GONNA BE UTILIZING DATA TO ENHANCE JUDICIAL SERVICES. 
          WE'RE GONNA ENGAGE, UH, TARGETED POPULATIONS. 
          WE, WE DO WANT TO INCREASE OUTREACH INITIATIVES. 
          UM, BUT I WILL TELL YOU, BECAUSE I GET THIS QUESTION ALL THE TIME ABOUT, WELL, HOW DO YOU EVALUATE JUDGES? AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT EVERYBODY SEEMS TO AGREE, EVEN WHEN I TALK TO THE PRESIDING JUDGES OF LARGE COURTS, IS AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT HAS TO DO WITH CASE DISPOSITIONS. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          ARE YOU TAKING CARE OF WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU? YOU KNOW, OR IS IT BEING, BEING DELAYED? JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. 
          YOU KNOW? AND SO THAT'S PROBABLY THE PRIMARY 
          [03:40:01]
THING THAT WE LOOK AT ON THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, IS THERE ANOTHER ONE? UH, THE, THESE ARE THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE WORKING ON TO CONTINUE TO, TO IMPROVE THE WORKFLOW PROCESS. 
          WE, WE'VE ALIGNED WITH THE 86, UH, LEGISLATURE CHANGES ALL OF OUR CLERKS. 
          WE WERE THE FIRST COURT IN THE STATE THAT REQUIRED ALL OF OUR CLERKS TO BECOME CERTIFIED. 
          AND WE MAINTAIN THAT AND WE CONTINUE TO SEND THEM TO EDUCATION. 
          UM, WE'VE SET UP A TEAM TO WORK ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF OUR WORKFLOW. 
          WE'VE DONE MORE OUTREACH WITH THE MUNICIPAL TRAFFIC TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM. 
          UM, WE'RE BEGINNING TO SEND PRE-APP APPEARANCE NOTIFICATIONS TO, TO TRY TO AVOID MORE F FDA. 
          SO SOMEONE MAY GET A TICKET RIGHT NOW, THEY GET A TICKET AND THEY GET A LETTER FROM SIX LAWYERS THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THE TICKET, BUT WE WANNA START SENDING NOTICES TO REMIND 'EM OF THEIR COURT DATE. 
          UM, NEXT IS THAT IT? AND SO THAT'S IT. 
          AND WE ALWAYS MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE IF ANY OF YOU EVER NEED ANYBODY FROM THE COURT TO COME SPEAK TO PEOPLE IN YOUR DISTRICT, OR, AND I'VE DONE THAT ON, ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. 
          WE'RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JUDGE. 
          AND I'LL PAUSE HERE FOR QUESTIONS RELATED TO MUNICIPAL COURT. 
          UH, BEFORE WE GET TO OUR FINAL TWO PRESENTATIONS FOR THE DAY, I DON'T REALLY HAVE, UH, ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU, UH, JUDGE, OTHER THAN TO VERIFY WHAT YOU DID SAY, ALL MAGISTRATION IS HAPPENING FOR ALL JURISDICTIONS NOW IN OUR AREA THROUGH YOU, UH, IN YOUR COURT AS OF MAY OF 19. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IT'S JUST A WORKING OUT LOCATION ISSUE. 
          RIGHT. 
          GOT IT. 
          WELL, I DO WANNA COMPLIMENT YOU AND YOUR STAFF ON, ON THE DIRECTION THAT YOU'VE MOVED TO BE A, A, UM, OPERATION FOCUSED MORE ON RESTORATIVE JUSTICE TECHNIQUES AND MAKING SURE THAT WE KEEP, UH, FOLKS IN, IN JAIL WHO, WHO ARE TRULY THREATS TO OUR COMMUNITY RATHER THAN, UH, PEOPLE WHO ARE INDIGENT IN MANY CASES. 
          SO, UM, I GUESS THE, THE ONLY, THE ONLY CLARIFICATION I DID WANT YOU MENTIONED, UM, IN YOUR SLIDE, SSB 1913. 
          EXACTLY. 
          WHAT, WHICH, WHICH ONE WAS THAT? SO, SENATE BILL 1913 CAME AS A RESPONSE TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED IN FERGUSON, MISSOURI. 
          OKAY. 
          AND AS I'D SAID, A NUMBER OF COURTS IN TEXAS HAD BEEN SUED FOR CERTAIN PRACTICES. 
          AND SO THEY, THEY CHANGED A LOT OF THINGS IN THE LAW THAT PUT A BUNCH OF CHECKS AND BALANCES IN PLACE, THAT THERE WERE THINGS THAT WERE REQUIRED FOR JUDGES TO DO IF THEY WERE GONNA SEND SOMEBODY TO JAIL. 
          I WAS ALWAYS OF THE OPINION THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S A TRAFFIC TICKET OR MURDER, IF THEY'RE SENDING YOU TO JAIL, YOU NEED TO HAVE REPRESENTATION. 
          UM, THAT'S JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD THE LAW TO BE. 
          BUT THEY PUT A LOT OF THINGS IN ABOUT HAVING TO WORK WITH PEOPLE ON PAYMENT PLANS, GIVING PEOPLE ALTERNATIVES TO PAYMENTS SUCH AS COMMUNITY SERVICE. 
          THEY EXPANDED WHAT WE COULD USE FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE. 
          UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN USE DIFFERENT NONPROFITS. 
          THEY'VE EVEN APPROVED FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. 
          SO WE JUST TRY TO WORK WITH PEOPLE TO GET THEIR ISSUES RESOLVED. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, AGAIN, UH, MY COMPLIMENTS TO YOUR, YOUR STAFF, JUDGE, YOU'VE BEEN A TERRIFIC JOB. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          YOU KNOW, CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM BEGINS AND ENDS, UH, IN YOUR COURT. 
          SO, UH, APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, COUNCILWOMAN SANDOVAL. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU JUDGE, AND FRED FOR, UH, FOR BEING HERE TODAY AND YOUR PATIENCE. 
          UM, JUST A COUPLE OF CLARIFYING QUESTIONS. 
          I WAS LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS ON MAGISTRATION, UH, SERVICES, AND IS THAT, UH, WHAT TIME PERIOD DO THOSE REFLECT? SO THE MA WELL, THE MAGISTRATE, THE MAGISTRATION COURT RUNS 24 7. 
          SO I MEAN, HOW MANY MONTHS IS THAT? OH, MONTHS. 
          IT'S FROM, THAT WOULD BE DECEMBER TO JUNE. 
          DECEMBER TO JUNE. 
          OKAY. 
          DECEMBER TO JUNE. 
          UM, AND IS THAT THE CASE FOR THE OTHER NUMBERS AND THE OTHER SLIDES? YOU, YOU GAVE US A REPORT ON JUVENILE COURT SPECIALTY DOCKETS AND GENERAL APPEARANCE. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          YEAH. 
          FRED'S THE NUMBERS. 
          YEAH. 
          THE, THE OTHER, THE OTHER NUMBERS, UH, THE, THE, UH, THE TRUANCE NUMBERS IS THAT, THAT'S FROM THE, UH, UH, FISCAL 19 OKAY. 
          NUMBERS AND THE, AND THEN THE OTHER, SOME OF THE OTHER ONES ARE, ARE EITHER THROUGH JULY OF THIS YEAR OR JUNE. 
          LIKE FOR THE MAGISTRATION, UM, NUMBERS. 
          WOULD, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO GET, UH, THE NUMBERS FOR LIKE THE LAST COMPLETE FISCAL YEAR? YES. 
          THE, UH, THE FISCAL YEAR, 18 MM-HMM. 
          , YEAH. 
          FISCAL YEAR 18, BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR, OUR INFORMATION 
          [03:45:01]
THAT WE PULL FROM ARE REPORTED TO THE STATE, AND THAT'S USUALLY A MONTH BEHIND OR, OR MORE. 
          SO, UM, OKAY. 
          UM, IT'D JUST BE GOOD TO SURE. 
          TO GET A SENSE OF ABSOLUTELY. 
          OF THE VOLUME BY TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN, UM, COULD YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE, JUDGE, ABOUT A MONTH, SLIDE THREE. 
          UM, JUST THE COURT OPERATIONS, UH, THAT'S YOUR BIGGEST, UH, SECTION. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          YEAH. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE BULK OF OUR PERSONNEL SO THAT THE, THE MUNICIPAL COURT. 
          AND CURRENTLY, SO WITH THE MAGISTRATION ADDED, YOU HAVE WHAT I WOULD MUNICIPAL COURT, WHICH WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE 70% IN AND OUT, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE SPECIALTY COURTS. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALL OF OUR PERSONNEL, CLERICAL PERSONNEL, ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL THAT ARE WORKING IN THE COURTROOM. 
          OKAY. 
          THE, THE JUDICIARY NUMBERS REFLECT HOW MANY JUDGES YOU HAVE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT'S 11 FULL-TIME JUDGES, INCLUDING ME. 
          AND THEN THE REST ARE PART-TIME JUDGES. 
          AND WE ADDED PART-TIME JUDGES TO TAKE ON THE MAGISTRATE OPERATION. 
          SO THEN, SO IF THE JUDGES ARE UNDER JUDICIARY, WHAT'S UNDER MAGISTRATION? IS THAT ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF OR, UH, THAT WOULD BE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN COURT OPERATIONS. 
          THAT'S ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF FOR ALL THE OTHER, FOR THE MUNICIPAL COURT. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IT'S, IT'S USUALLY EASY NOW THAT WE'RE BACK DOING THIS. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S HOW I DID DO IT BACK IN THE DAY, IS YOU BASICALLY HAVE, IT'S MUNICIPAL COURT AND MAGISTRATION COURT MM-HMM. 
          , AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE COMPLETELY SEPARATE OPERATIONS, ONE'S 24 7 AND DEALING WITH DIFFERENT STUFF. 
          THERE'S SOME INTERACTION BECAUSE YOU'RE HANDLING SOME OF THE VIOLATIONS THAT ARE SEEN IN THE FRONT. 
          BUT FROM AN ACTUAL OPERATION STANDPOINT, THEY'RE TWO COMPLETELY OP DIFFERENT OPERATIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, SO JUDGE, EVERY TIME I HEAR ABOUT THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE, EITHER FROM YOU OR INDIRECTLY, IT'S ALWAYS VERY IMPRESSIVE TO KNOW, UH, THAT YOU'RE AHEAD OF THE CURVE NATIONALLY ON, ON A LOT OF THESE ISSUES. 
          AND IT'S, UM, IF WE DON'T TALK TO YOU OR IF WE DON'T HEAR IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE, WE KIND OF DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. 
          SO I'M REALLY GLAD TO, TO HAVE THE PRESENTATION, UH, THIS TIME AROUND. 
          AND I'M HOPING THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE MORE REPORTS YES. 
          FROM, FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT INTO SOME OF OUR, OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS. 
          UM, IT, AND THEN, UH, YOU TALKED ABOUT EQUITY. 
          CLEARLY IT'S EMBEDDED IN EVERYTHING, RIGHT? THAT, THAT YOU DO. 
          I'M, UH, COULD YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR PROGRAMMED ENHANCEMENTS FOR 2020 IN, UH, WHAT IS IT, UH, ENGAGING TARGET POPULATIONS, ALL THOSE THINGS? WELL, SO THE ENGA DO, LET ME HAVE YOU TALK ABOUT SOME OF THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S A PROJECT, RIGHT? UH, I THINK, UH, WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO CAPITALIZE IN 2020 IS, IS THAT LOOKING AT THE DATA THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, BEING ABLE TO, TO SEE WHERE THERE'S NEEDS ARE, LIKE WHERE THE AREAS THAT THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, THE ZIP CODES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, THAT'S BEEN MAYBE UNDERUTILIZED OR, UH, UNDERREPRESENTED AND TRY TO DO SOME MORE TARGETED, UH, UM, OUTREACH TO THOSE, UH, FOLKS. 
          BECAUSE OUR, OUR OVERALL BELIEF IS THAT, UH, OUR, OUR, OUR JOB IS OUR DUTY AS, AS A COURT IS PROVIDING ACCESS TO JUSTICE THAT EVERYBODY GETS ACCESS TO, TO JUSTICE. 
          BUT IT, THAT'S INDIVIDUAL JUSTICE. 
          SO YOU, WE HAVE TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY'RE AT. 
          AND SO I THINK WE'RE GONNA TRY TO USE OUR DATA TO START TRYING TO LOOK AT EXACTLY EXACTLY WHAT, WHERE, WHERE'S IT, WHERE'S THE HOTSPOTS AND WHERE'S IT COMING FROM. 
          WE GENERALLY KNOW, WE, WE SEE THAT OUR, OUR, OUR POPULATION WHERE THERE'S EXTREME NEED. 
          I MEAN, IF YOU JUST LOOKED AT THE SLIDE ABOUT, UH, PERCENTAGES OF, UH, UM, UH, DISPOSITIONS AND YOU HAVE A 36%, UH, DISPOSITION RATE USING, UH, THE KIOSK AND THE, UH, ONLINE AND THOSE FOLKS, YOU WILL SEE PAYMENTS AT, YOU KNOW, TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND THEY JUST, THEY JUST GONNA WANNA RESOLVE IT. 
          THEY GO PAY IT. 
          AND, AND THAT'S FINE WITH THEM. 
          BUT THEN THERE'S OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE STRUGGLING AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT NEED TO COME IN AND TALK TO A JUDGE. 
          AND THEN THAT'S WHERE OUR STAFF, UH, IS, IS, UH, TAUGHT AND TRAINED TO SAY, LOOK, WE, WE TREAT EVERYBODY, UH, MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THEY LEAVE THE COURTHOUSE, THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO JUSTICE AT, AT, AT THEIR LEVEL. 
          AND, AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA USE THE DATA FOR THAT TALKS ABOUT THE, THE TARGETING OF THE POPULATIONS. 
          BUT, BUT WE, WE TRIED TO DO MORE OF A OUTREACH PROGRAM THIS PAST YEAR, AND WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE THAT EFFORT, UH, BECAUSE NOT ONLY JUST IN, IN IN TRAFFIC SAFETY, BUT IN OUR OTHER INITIATIVES THAT WE DO AT THE COURT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UH, JUDGE FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          AND I DID, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE COUNCILWOMAN SANDOVAL HAS COME BACK TO THE MAGISTRATION COURT THREE TIMES OVERNIGHT. 
          AND COUNCILWOMAN HODRA CAME LAST WEEK AND THEY ACTUALLY GOT, I ALWAYS TELL 'EM WHEN THEY COME BACK THERE, YOU GET TO SEE HOW SAUSAGE GETS MADE. 
          BUT, BUT I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE IT, IT, IT'S NOT SOMEBODY COMING 
          [03:50:01]
AT, YOU KNOW, TWO IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN NOTHING'S GOING ON. 
          AND SO THEY KIND OF GET TO SEE THE WAY THAT WHOLE THING OPERATES. 
          IT, IT'S, UH, QUITE AN OPERATION. 
          SO AGREED , THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PAEZ. 
          THANKS, MAYOR. 
          CAN YOU, UH, TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE KIOSKS? WHERE, WHERE ARE THOSE LOCATED? THERE'S ONE AT 1604 IN PETRANKO. 
          THERE'S ONE AT THE, ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE, KIND OF, UM, KIND OF IN THAT NACO PARENT AREA. 
          AND THEN THERE'S ONE KIND OF OUT AT CITY BASE AT CITY BASE. 
          SO WE'VE GOT THREE OF THEM. 
          ARE YOU, DO YOU HAVE A FEEL FOR HOW OFTEN THEY'RE GETTING USED THERE? IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S BECOME PART, PART OF THE REGULAR COURSE OF BUSINESS. 
          SO I DON'T, YOU PROBABLY DO 20 TRANSACTIONS A DAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SOMETIMES IT'LL BE HIGH. 
          WE WERE ALSO ABLE, IN THE PAST COUNCIL, PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK, CAN, CAN YOU OPEN THE COURT ON SATURDAY? UM, THE KIOSK ALLOWS US TO DO COURT ON SATURDAY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          SO WE HAVE A PART-TIME JUDGE THAT COMES IN FROM EIGHT IN THE MORNING TILL ABOUT ONE IN THE AFTERNOON, AND SHE DOES A FAIR NUMBER ON SATURDAY. 
          WE, WE, WE CAN EXPAND THE KIOSK AT ANY TIME. 
          UM, WE WERE ABLE TO PAY FOR THAT THROUGH CONNECTED COMMUNITIES, AND CISCO WORKED WITH US AND WE USED SOME OF OUR TECH FUND. 
          THE WHOLE PROJECT COST ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
          UM, ONCE IT'S DONE, YOU, WE CAN REPLICATE AND GET NEW UNITS FOR 10. 
          SO EACH UNIT COSTS 10, BUT ALL THEY'RE USING IS, IT'S NOT, YOU DON'T HAVE A CASHIER THERE, YOU DON'T HAVE A BAILIFF THERE. 
          AND IT'S JUST, AND H E B LOVES IT. 
          THEY NEVER ASKED US TO PAY RENT OR FOR, SO THESE ARE THREE KIOSKS LOCATED AT H E B? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          WHEN PEOPLE APPEAR VIA INTERNET, DO WE KNOW IF THEY'RE APPEARING FROM ONE OF OUR LIBRARIES? IS THAT HAPPENING OFTEN? WE CAN'T TELL. 
          SO CAN SOMEBODY APPEAR VIA SKYPE OR WHATEVER FROM OUR LIBRARIES? NO. 
          WE CAN PUT THE EQUIVALENT OF A KIOSK AT THE LIBRARY. 
          UM, BUT IT, BUT IT'S POSSIBLE. 
          BUT, BUT THE INTERNET'S EASY TOO BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO TO THE INTERNET TO MAKE A PAYMENT, IT, IT EXPLAINS WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND IT GIVES YOU YOUR OPTIONS. 
          NOW ON THE SPECIALTY COURT DOCKETS, THERE ARE CERTAIN VIOLATIONS THAT YOU MUST APPEAR ON. 
          RIGHT. 
          YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA AFFECT SOMEBODY LONG TERM, THEY HAVE TO APPEAR. 
          THEY CAN'T, I, I, UH, A COLLEGE STUDENT CAN'T GO ONLINE AND PAY A MINOR IN POSSESSION OF ALCOHOL CASE. 
          WE, WE TELL 'EM THEY HAVE TO APPEAR BECAUSE IT'S GONNA HAVE REPERCUSSIONS AND THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPLAINED TO 'EM. 
          SAME THING ON SHOPLIFTING AND OTHER CASES LIKE THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THE ONLY REASON I RAISE IT IS JUST ERIC, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE WE'RE MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY AT OUR LIBRARIES IF WE'RE TRYING TO GET MORE FOLKS TO USE THOSE. 
          IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A GREAT PLACE FOR US TO, UM, MAKE THAT AS AN OPTION. 
          I MEAN, IT, IT DOESN'T COST US ANY RENT. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, THE COMPUTERS ARE ALREADY THERE. 
          UM, AND IF PEOPLE CAN APPEAR IN THE LIBRARY, I MEAN, WE CAN ALSO, THEY CAN ALSO AVAIL THEMSELVES OF OTHER SERVICES AND IT MIGHT BE THE ONE TIME THEY VISIT OUR LIBRARIES. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, SO JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE AS FAR AS, UM, I, AND, AND I WILL TELL YOU, UH, JUDGE, I'M, I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE PRESENTATION. 
          UH, THIS IS, IT'S ALWAYS GREAT, BUT THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE, THAN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET PRESENTATION. 
          SO I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK YEAH. 
          ON, UM, REALLY, UH, DRIVING HOME THE POINT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR PLACE IN THE SORT OF THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS AS FAR AS OTHER CITY INITIATIVES. 
          AND, UM, I WILL CHALLENGE YOU, HOWEVER, I THINK IT, I THINK IT MIGHT BE TIME FOR, YOU KNOW, UH, A REVISIT OF THE MISSION AND THE VISION. 
          BECAUSE IF I LOOK AT THE MISSION AND THE VISION ON PAGE TWO, IT REALLY IS LIMITED ONLY TO ADMINISTERING, UH, YOU KNOW, A JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN A COURT IN A FAIR, EFFICIENT, AND TIMELY MANNER. 
          AND THEN NOTHING ELSE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I THINK THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY CONSIDERING HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE VISIT YOU GUYS EVERY YEAR TO SEE IF THE COURT CAN ALSO BECOME, YOU KNOW, A PARTNER WITH THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS OF THE CITY IN HELPING PUSH INITIATIVES AND, UH, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, CROSS-POLLINATING THERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          BECAUSE OFTENTIMES Y'ALL ARE THE FRONT LINES AND YOU KNOW, FOR ALL WE KNOW, THAT MAY BE THE ONLY CONTACT SOMEBODY WILL HAVE WITH THE, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND, UH, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE, WE'RE MAYBE LETTING CUSTOMERS SLIP BETWEEN OUR FINGERS WHEN WE COULD HELP THEM PAY THEIR C P SS BILL. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE COULD HELP THEM, YOU KNOW, UH, GET THEIR LIBRARY CARD, REGISTER TO VOTE, ALL THAT STUFF. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND SO IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A, A REALLY GREAT PLACE TO GET MORE VALUE. 
          AND SO THAT'S MY ONLY CHALLENGE FOR Y'ALL IS, IS, AND, AND I'LL CONTINUE TO PUSH, UM, YOU KNOW, IS THAT WE TALK ABOUT ADDED VALUE. 
          UH, 'CAUSE YOU'RE IN A VERY SPECIAL PLACE OVER THERE WHERE YOU'RE TOUCHING A LOT OF LIVES, WHEREAS OTHER DEPARTMENTS DON'T. 
          AND I WOULD TELL YOU, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH FRANK WING SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, BUT I, BUT, BUT 
          [03:55:01]
AS FRED WAS EXPLAINING, WITH MORE PEOPLE USING VIDEO AND STUFF, WE, WE HAVE SPACE AREAS THERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          CASHIER WINDOWS WHERE YOU COULD PUT SOMEBODY FROM C P S OR YOU THAT, THAT YOU COULD HANDLE SOME STUFF THERE. 
          UM, SO THAT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO. 
          YEAH. 
          OUR CURRENT, WE, WE OVERLAP AND DEAL WITH PD AND HUMAN SERVICES A LOT. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, BUT I, I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          AND, AND YOU THAT COULD, THAT IS POSSIBLE. 
          THANKS JUDGE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PALAI. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER TREVINO. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UM, THANK YOU JUDGE FOR THAT PRESENTATION. 
          AND UM, I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU SPECIFICALLY FOR THE YOUTH RE ENGAGEMENT CENTER OR NEXT LEVEL. 
          IT'S QUITE AN AMAZING PLACE AND, UM, IT'S, I THINK IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF AND WE'RE CERTAINLY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT IT'S AT THE FRANK GARRETT CENTER IN DISTRICT ONE. 
          AND, UH, WE HAD A BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR THERE RECENTLY. 
          SO, UM, I THINK, I THINK EVERYBODY THAT GOES THROUGH THAT PROGRAM IS, IS GONNA BENEFIT FROM THAT BRAINCHILD THAT, THAT YOU HAD. 
          AND SO, UH, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. 
          I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. 
          WE TALKED IN THE PAST ABOUT, UH, A PILOT PROGRAM FOR MENTAL HEALTH BEDS. 
          AND SO WHAT'S, CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THAT? SO MUCH OF THIS STUFF IS, IS WRAPPED TOGETHER. 
          SO AS WE'RE KIND OF IN THIS ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE COUNTY, UM, THERE ARE CERTAIN ISSUES THAT OVERLAP BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY ON A, ON SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. 
          UM, I, I'VE WORKED WITH DR. 
          BRIDGER AND WE, WE HAVE FOUND SOME BEDS IN A PROGRAM ON SOME OF LIKE THE CHRONIC INEBRIATES AND THINGS THAT WE DEAL WITH THAT COME IN OVERNIGHT. 
          I THINK LONG TERM, AS WE CONTINUE TO TRY TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY, THERE NEEDS TO BE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION INSTEAD OF EVERYBODY GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS THAT WE TRY TO PULL MONEY TOGETHER FOR MENTAL HEALTH BEDS AND TREATMENT BEDS. 
          'CAUSE WHEN I WORK AT THE MAGISTRATE COURT OVERNIGHT, I'M SIGNING MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATIONS ON 50% OF THE PEOPLE I SEE. 
          AND I'M GETTING A LARGE VOLUME OF LOW LEVEL DRUG POSSESSION CASES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, WHO ARE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE DIVERTED TO A, TO A, LIKE A TREATMENT BED INSTEAD OF GOING STRAIGHT TO JAIL. 
          BECAUSE ALL THEY'LL DO IS SET IN THERE FOR THREE MONTHS. 
          THEY GIVE 'EM TIME SERVED, THEY'RE BACK OUT. 
          YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. 
          AND THEN I'M JUST SEEING THEM AGAIN. 
          BUT I THINK THOSE ARE ONGOING DISCUSSIONS ON THE SPECIFIC ISSUE WE TALKED ABOUT. 
          WE'VE MOVED FORWARD ON THAT WITH DR. 
          BRIDGER AND RIGHT. 
          'CAUSE WE PRETTY MUCH HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE FOR THAT. 
          SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I I THANK YOU FOR THAT, THAT UPDATE. 
          UM, AND I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. 
          'CAUSE I THINK, UH, THAT'S ANOTHER KEY ELEMENT TO, TO BEING, UM, MORE, YOU KNOW, MORE PROACTIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP THOSE THAT, THAT NEED THE HELP. 
          AND, UH, I'D LIKE, I'D LIKE FOR US TO RE UH, TO VISIT, UH, AGAIN, UH, REGARDING WHAT WE CAN DO AS A COUNCIL TO HELP YOU, UH, ESTABLISH, UH, A MUCH STRONGER, UH, FOOTHOLD ON, ON MENTAL HEALTH BEDS. 
          THANK YOU, JUDGE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER TREVINO. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, JUST TO TOUCH ON AGAIN, WHAT YOU WERE JUST TALKING WITH, UM, COUNCILMAN TREVINO ON THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE. 
          UH, I THINK WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS BEDS. 
          WHERE TO PUT THESE PEOPLE THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY THAT HAVE MAYBE, UH, UH, NEED OF IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FOR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. 
          AND, UH, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE STATE. 
          UH, THE CENTER FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES IS A STATE AGENCY THAT'S THE MENTAL HEALTH AGENCY, UH, THAT CAN PROVIDE MORE, UH, OF THIS SUPPORT IN THIS AREA. 
          AND SO I HOPE THIS BECOMES MAYBE AN ISSUE WE ADD ON TO OUR AGENDA IN THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION, UH, TO GET MORE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT. 
          I KNOW THEY'RE REDOING THE STATE HOSPITAL. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP MAY BE WHEN THAT'S COMPLETED FOR ALLOWING, UH, THE CITY, UH, TO, UM, PLACE SOME PEOPLE THERE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHEN IT'S A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE. 
          BUT I THINK ALL OF US KNOW, MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES DON'T BELONG IN JAIL. 
          WELL, AND THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET TREATED WELL THERE. 
          AND LET ME EXPLAIN THE DISTINCTION, AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY IT'S AN OVERLAP. 
          AND IT'S A, IT'S FRUSTRATION THAT I HEAR FROM, FROM DIFFERENT COUNCIL MEMBERS ALL THE TIME. 
          SO, SO WE DO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO THERE'S TWO LEVEL OF OFFENSES THAT THEY CAN GET CHARGED WITH. 
          THEY GET CHARGED WITH A CLASS C MISDEMEANOR AT BY COURT FOR PUBLIC INTOXICATION OR ANY NUMBER OF THINGS. 
          THEY'RE BROUGHT TO THE, TO THE JAIL. 
          THEY SOBER UP OR THEY TAKE 'EM TO 6 0 1, THE RESTORATION CENTER SOBER UP. 
          THEY'RE OUT 
          [04:00:01]
RIGHT BACK AT IT. 
          SOMETIMES WHAT THEY'RE DOING THE SAME POPULATION, IT RISES TO A LEVEL WHERE THEY SAY, CHARGE 'EM WITH CRIMINAL TRESPASS. 
          AND I USE THAT EXAMPLE BECAUSE THAT WAS WHY IT WAS SO MAJOR THAT I HAD TO ROLL OUT THIS MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING. 
          SO THEY HAD TWO HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE BOTH PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC, THAT WERE BOTH CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL TRESPASS, WHICH MOVES UP TO A B. 
          SO THAT MEANS I'M GONNA MAGISTRATE 'EM. 
          THEY HAVE TO MAKE A BOND, WHATEVER. 
          THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FLAGGED AS MENTAL HEALTH BEFORE THAT HAPPENED. 
          THEY SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN DIVERTED DIRECTLY FROM, FROM THE COURT, BUT INSTEAD THEY WENT TO JAIL AND THEY WEREN'T FLAGGED. 
          BOTH OF 'EM DIED IN THE JAIL OF, OF NATURAL CAUSES. 
          BUT THAT'S THE STUFF WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE WERE BOTH DIAGNOSED, PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED FOR THAT. 
          AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THIS QUALITY OF LIFE PROBLEM DOWNTOWN, YOU KNOW, AROUND HAVEN AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          BUT IT'S A CITY COUNTY PROBLEM. 
          THEY DIED IN THE COUNTY JAIL. 
          THEY COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY PASSED AWAY IN THE CITY FACILITY WHEN THEY GOT ARRESTED. 
          AND THAT'S WHY I THINK WE HAVE TO BE AWARE AND TRY TO FIND THE BEDS AND GET PEOPLE DIRECTED WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. 
          IT'S RELATED TO, UH, YOUR WORK WITH, UH, JUVENILE DETENTION. 
          I MEAN, UH, JUVENILES, UH, WHO ARE NOT GOING TO SCHOOL. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, THAT WAS A BIG PROBLEM AS I WAS A TEACHER FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. 
          UH, AND I APPRECIATE THE WAY WE'RE HANDLING IT NOW. 
          ONE THING I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS, UH, AND THIS IS I GUESS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WHAT HAS BEEN THE DIFFERENCE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, TO THOSE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN MOST AFFECTED IN IMPROVING THEIR ATTENDANCE? SO, SO THE INTERESTING THING WAS, THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE DID IT, THE LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT, WHICH IS NORTHSIDE, HAD A, HAD A IMPROVEMENT OF JUST, JUST A LITTLE UNDER 1%, WHICH TRANSLATED TO DOLLARS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVES MONEY FROM THE T E A BASED ON WHO'S IN THE SEATS. 
          AND SO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN IMPROVE, IMPROVE ATTENDANCE, THAT'S A BENEFIT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. 
          UM, AND, AND WE'VE SEEN THAT CONTINUALLY SOME, BECAUSE WE HAVE 16 SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SOME ARE HARDER TO DEAL WITH THAN OTHERS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD TO ACTUALLY GET IN THERE AND TELL 'EM, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. 
          WE NEED TO DO THIS, YOU KNOW, AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          BUT, BUT IF THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL, THEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS GET MORE MONEY. 
          NOW I REALIZE THAT YOUR STAFF IS, YOU KNOW, DOING A LOT OF WORK ON A LOT OF THINGS. 
          BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US COLLECTIVELY AS A CITY AND FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO RECOGNIZE AND BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT DIFFERENCE HAS BEEN. 
          YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S NOT JUST THE MONEY FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, BUT IT'S ALSO, UH, IF THROUGH A DIVERSION PROGRAM, STUDENTS GO BACK AND, AND THEIR BEHAVIORS IMPROVE, THEN IT ALLOWS FOR MORE EFFECTIVE TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM. 
          UH, SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF POSITIVE EFFECTS BY WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW COMPARED TO JUST PUTTING 'EM IN COURT AND HAVING 30,000 OF THESE CASES A YEAR. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND BRINGING IN THE PARENTS AND FINING EVERYBODY. 
          AND IT, IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM TO BE DOING ANY VERY MUCH GOOD, YOU KNOW, 10, 15 YEARS AGO, OR 10 YEARS AGO. 
          BUT IT, IT SEEMS TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE NOW. 
          BUT IT, IT'D BE INTERESTING IF WE COULD SEE SOME REAL RESULTS THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE TALKING ABOUT AND WE CAN SEE IT, UH, AS A WAY WE MEASURE IT AS A CITY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WHY WE'RE SO FOCUSED ON THAT. 
          AND I, I MEAN, EVERYBODY NEEDS TO HEAR THIS. 
          THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO NOT HAVE A DROPOUT PROBLEM. 
          THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO HAS A DROPOUT PROBLEM, RIGHT. 
          BECAUSE IF THEY'RE NOT IN SCHOOL, THEY'RE ON THE STREET. 
          AND THAT'S NOT GOOD. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE ALWAYS SEEN THIS AS A VERY IMPORTANT ENDEAVOR BECAUSE IT'S A CITY ISSUE. 
          IT'S IT'S, SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE THEIR PROBLEM OVER HERE, BUT ONCE THEY'RE THEIR, THAT WAS WHY THE RE-ENGAGEMENT WAS SO IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IF THEY'RE NOT IN SCHOOL AND THEY'RE NOT WORKING, THAT LEADS TO OTHER THINGS. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHY WE, I THINK IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE. 
          SO, UM, LOOKING AT THE CHART, I THINK IT'S, UH, ON SLIDE 11, YOU'VE GOTTA BREAK DOWN OF THREE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF, UH, SERVICES NOW. 
          UM, 10,000 374, 22, 2 48, AND 10,432. 
          BEFORE THE CITY RESU THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MAGISTRATE, ALL OF THE CASES. 
          WHAT WERE THE NUMBERS THAT WE WERE MAGISTRATE? IT WOULD, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THAT, UM, WHERE'S THE CLASS C? THAT 10, 4 32. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , CLASS C. 
          THOSE WERE PEOPLE THAT GOT ARRESTED ON TICKETS. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND, AND USUALLY WHAT THAT WAS, WAS, YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD BRING 'EM IN, WE'D 
          [04:05:01]
WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THEM. 
          WE NEVER COMMITTED ANYBODY TO JAIL. 
          THEY WERE PICKED UP ON A WARRANT. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, SO NOW IT'S 43,000. 
          WHEN YOU PUT THOSE THREE NUMBERS TOGETHER, IT'S TWO OF 'EM. 
          IT'S THE 22,000. 
          OH, IT'S THE 22 NUMBER OF OFFENSE. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          IT'S, IT'S THE TEN THREE SEVENTY FOUR. 
          RIGHT. 
          THE PROBLEM WITH THE MAGISTRATION IS IT'S SUPER LABOR INTENSIVE AND IT'S SUPER PAPERWORK HEAVY. 
          THERE'S, THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS YOU CAN'T DO WITH TECHNOLOGY ON THAT. 
          'CAUSE THE JUDGE IS JUST CONSTANTLY SIGNING COMMITMENT ORDERS, MAGISTRATE WARNINGS, PROTECTIVE ORDERS. 
          I THINK THAT THE CHIEF MENTIONED THAT RECENTLY, THEY'VE GONE TO A, THEY'RE REQUESTING PROTECTIVE ORDERS ON EVERYTHING. 
          FAMILY VIOLENCE. 
          NOW THE JUDGE HAS DISCRETION ON WHAT BOXES THEY CHECK ON THE, ON THE PROTECTIVE ORDER. 
          WE SIGNED SEARCH AND ARREST WARRANTS ALL NIGHT LONG. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S JUST A VERY HEAVY OPERATION. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT I'VE HEARD YOU'VE ONLY ADDED A FEW, UH, ASSISTANT MAGISTRATES OR PART-TIME? WELL, WE, YEAH, NO, WE'VE KIND OF GOT, GOT THAT UP AND RUNNING NOW. 
          WE, WE HAD A PERIOD OF TIME WHERE WE, IT WAS NECESSARY THAT WE ADD PART-TIME JUDGES. 
          WE CURRENTLY HAVE POSTED A POSITION FOR A FULL-TIME JUDGE THAT IS SPECIFICALLY TO WORK OVERNIGHT, SO I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ANYMORE. 
          PRI NO. 
          BUT, UM, AND SO THOUGH, I THINK THAT CLOSED ON FRIDAY. 
          AND SO, UM, WE'LL BE GETTING TOGETHER WITH THE COMMITTEE ABOUT HOW THEY WANT TO CONDUCT THOSE INTERVIEWS. 
          BUT THE COUNTY HAS ASSUMED ALL THOSE ADDITIONAL COSTS SINCE WE'VE TAKEN THAT ON. 
          IS THAT RIGHT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHICH COST? UH, FOR A MAGISTRATION NOW THEY, THEY FOR THEIR PORTION. 
          THEIR PORTION, RIGHT. 
          SO, SO OUR PORTION IS 70% OF THE ARREST IS SE S A P D. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE DOING AHEAD OF TIME. 
          THE COUNTY ADDED 30, ANOTHER 30%. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, AND WE'RE JUST, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE DOING MOST OF THAT BY VIDEO, BUT WE DO SEND SOME JUDGES OVER TO THEIR FACILITY SOMETIMES. 
          OKAY. 
          THOSE ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, JUDGE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER KEEO. 
          HDI. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, JUDGE BULL. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A TOUR OF THE MAGS THE OTHER NIGHT THAT WAS, UH, INFORMATIVE. 
          AND FOR SOMEBODY WHO PRACTICES THE OTHER SIDE OF CRIMINAL LAW, IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THE ENTRANCE INTO THE SYSTEM THAT SOME, SOME PEOPLE HAVE. 
          I WANNA EMPHASIZE YOUR POINT ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND THAT IT'S A CITY COUNTY PROBLEM. 
          I RELATED TO YOU, BUT I'VE HAD A NUMBER OF MENTAL HEALTH OR CLIENTS, UH, CRIMINAL CLIENTS WHO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND THEY HAVE 10, 11, 12 PRIOR CHARGES. 
          AND I'M THE FIRST ATTORNEY THAT'S IDENTIFIED THAT THERE'S A MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM. 
          SO I KNOW THAT YOU, UM, TWEAKED THE SYSTEM A LITTLE BIT, THE FORMS TO TO, TO BETTER IDENTIFY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. 
          CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT BRIEFLY? THE, THE, THE THING THAT HAD OCCURRED WHEN WE, WE HAD JUST TAKEN OVER AND THEN THE ISSUE HAD COME UP ABOUT THE FIRST HOMELESS INDIVIDUAL THAT HAD DIED IN THERE. 
          WE WERE REVIEWING THE FORMS THAT HAD BEEN BEING USED IN THE MAG OFFICE AND 18 MONTHS PRIOR TO US TAKING OVER, THE LEGISLATURE PASSED THE SANDRA BLAND ACT. 
          AND THAT WAS THE WOMAN THAT HUNG HERSELF IN A JAIL OUTSIDE OF BEAUMONT. 
          AND THEY REQUIRED THAT, THAT THE MAGISTRATE THAT, THAT THE JAIL STAFF, EITHER SHERIFF OR MUNICIPAL AND THE MAGISTRATE, THEY HAD TO IDENTIFY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES WITHIN 12 HOURS OF ARREST. 
          AND SO WHAT WE IMPLEMENTED WAS, THERE'S A FORM, A QUESTIONNAIRE THAT THEY ASK EVERYBODY THAT COMES IN, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE? ARE YOU CURRENTLY TAKING MEDICATION FOR MENTAL HEALTH? HAVE YOU EVER COMMITTED SUICIDE? ARE YOU HAVING SUICIDE THOUGHTS? THERE'S ANOTHER BOX THAT THEY REFUSE TO ANSWER AND THEY, THEY'RE NOTICING SOMETHING OFF. 
          THAT'S THE FIRST CHECK. 
          IT'S A BRIGHT ORANGE FORM. 
          WHEN THAT GOES IN THE JUDGE'S FILE, WE AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE EVALUATION FORM IN. 
          THAT WAS WHERE THE SANDRA BLAND NON-COMPLIANCE WAS OCCURRING. 
          SO THEN WHEN I'M TALKING TO 'EM, IF THAT'S IN THERE, I DON'T NECESSARILY NOW, 'CAUSE WE HAVE A PUBLIC DEFENDER IN THERE. 
          THE PUBLIC DEFENDER WILL TALK TO 'EM ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND THE PUBLIC DEFENDER WILL RECOMMEND THE EVALUATION. 
          I MAY SIGN IT ON MY OWN, BUT THEN EVERYBODY THAT GOES TO JAIL WITH THAT ORDER FROM ME HAS TO BE EVALUATED BEFORE THEY GO FURTHER IN THE PROCESS. 
          I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU. 
          THE, THE EVALUATION BY THE PUBLIC DEFENDER IS HAPPENING PRIVATELY, RIGHT? YES. 
          SO THE, THE OFFENDER HAS A LITTLE MORE PRIVACY TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK MORE OPENLY ABOUT THE ISSUES. 
          WE DON'T HAVE AN IDEAL SITUATION BECAUSE WE'RE ROLLING IT OUT. 
          I MEAN, THEY HAVE TO GO TALK TO 'EM IN THE CELL SOMETIMES WE ARRANGE FOR THEM TO TALK TO 'EM IN THE COURTROOM, AND I SIT TO STAY IN MY OFFICE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED WHEN THEY'RE DONE TALKING TO 'EM, THEN THE DA COMES IN AND WE START COURT. 
          BUT THAT'S GENERALLY HOW WE DO IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER KEO, HOWEVER, TO JUDGE, WE HAVE VERY

          ALTHOUGH YOU REALIZE P C I IS NOT REALLY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING EVEN IF WE ARE SPENDING A LOT MONEY. 
          BUT SINCE OUR BUDGET ON STREET MAINTENANCE HAS INCREASED, WE ARE DOING REALLY MORE THAN JUST STREET RECONSTRUCTION. 
          WE ARE DOING MORE SIDEWALK, WE ARE DOING MORE WHEELCHAIR RAMP AND ALSO WE ARE DOING A LOT IF STREET.

          GO AHEAD, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THAT'S IN MY PRESENTATION. 
          I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH RAZZY. 
          UM, I'LL JUST, UM, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO OUR COLLEAGUE COUNCILMAN GRO START US ON THIS ONE. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS. 
          UM, THAT I GET TO GO FIRST. 
          UH, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, RAZZI. 
          THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION, A LOT OF DIFFERENT FUNDS AND I THINK FIRST I WANNA START WITH THE END, UM, ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS BECAUSE I FOR CLARIFICATION, THESE, THE CAPITAL BUDGET, THESE 715 MILLION, THE 437 PROJECTS, THESE ARE ALSO AUGMENTED OR LEVERAGED WITH BOND DOLLARS. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          BECAUSE THESE THAT ARE ALL ON HERE, IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL, ET CETERA, BUT THIS IS PART OF, SOME OF THESE PROJECTS ARE PART OF OUR BOND PACKAGE THAT THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. 
          'CAUSE I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE, THAT NEEDS TO BE SPELLED OUT VERY CLEARLY TO EVERYONE. 
          UM, SO LET'S GO ONTO OUR EQUITY BUDGET. 
          UM, SO WITH THE 55 MILLION, THE ALLOCATION BASED ON THE SIZE OF DISTRICTS ALLOWED, UH, A DISTRICT'S NETWORK. 
          I KNOW YOU PROBABLY HAVE A SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE, UM, THE NETWORK SIZE IN EACH DISTRICT. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          I KNEW IT. 
          UM, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE A WHOLE ATTACHMENT TO OF YOUR, YOUR BACKUP SLIDES HERE. 
          SO THE CONDITION OF THE DISTRICT NETWORKS AND THEN THE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE DISTRICT'S NETWORK, THERE YOU ARE. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT TO UM, DEFINITELY WE, WE WANNA BE EQUITABLE AND WE KNOW THAT ALL OF THE CITY NEEDS OUR SERVICES 'CAUSE ALL, WE HAVE ALL OF OUR TAXPAYERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          UM, BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE STILL COM STAY ON OUR THEME OF A NEEDS-BASED BUDGET THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. 
          AND UM, WE HAD MADE GREAT STRIDES IN THESE PAST TWO YEARS, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT US TO THEN FALL BACK BEHIND ON WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. 
          SO, UM, SO THEIR PROPOSED BUDGET 
          [04:40:01]
DISTRIBUTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS IN THE FAR RIGHT HAND CORNER ON MY RIGHT HAND CORNER, CORRECT. 
          , IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND LET THEM KNOW. 
          AND THIS IS JUST THE ALLOCATION OF THE UM, 110 MILLION, RIGHT? THAT'S FOR SO THAT'S FOR THE 110 MILLION? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S THE WHOLE ONE 10 MILLION. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND NOW WHAT IS ALSO DIFFERENT IS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TWO YEAR SERVICE MAINTENANCE DELIVERY TO HELP SET EXPECTATIONS FOR US AND OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, COUNCILWOMAN AS WE'RE STARTING LAST TWO YEARS, WE ARE DOING IN TWO YEARS, WE ARE NOT JUST COMMUNICATING, WE ARE DOING THESE TWO YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          THE IDEA WAS SINCE IT'S TAKING REALLY TWO YEARS, WHY NOT? WE PROGRAM FOR TWO YEARS. 
          THOSE, SINCE AGAIN OUR BUDGET HAS INCREASED, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DESIGN AND BUILD SOME OF THOSE STREET NEEDS BADLY. 
          IF STREET THOSE REQUIRE DESIGN, THOSE STREET REQUIRE UTILITY UPGRADE, WHICH REQUIRES TIME. 
          AND OF COURSE UTILITY AGENCIES, SAWS AND CPS, THEY HAVE THE BUDGET. 
          IT JUST WASN'T POSSIBLE TO DO THOSE PROJECT IN ONE YEAR. 
          THAT'S THE REASON WE ARE ANTICIPATING 75% OR SO WILL BE DONE IN ONE YEARS. 
          THE REMAINING 25% WILL BE DONE IN NOT MORE THAN TWO YEARS. 
          SOME OF THEM WE MAY BE ABLE TO FINISH IN YEAR AND A HALF, BUT WE ARE SAYING ONE YEAR AND TWO YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          AND BEFORE I FORGET, I THINK THIS IS FOR YOU ERIC, AND UM, AND FOR RAZZIE, I KNOW I MENTIONED IT TO YOU AND ANTHONY IN OUR MEETING ABOUT PROCESS AND WHEN IT COMES TO STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AND WHEN IT COMES TO OUR BOND PROJECTS AND THE CONTRACTORS THAT WE ALSO SELECT THAT AS WE'RE DOING A REVIEW OF THAT, UH, I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE YOUR INSPECTORS THAT GO THROUGH AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE WORK OF THE CONTRACTORS OR THOSE THAT ARE, ARE DOING THE, THE SUBCONTRACTING WORK. 
          BUT IN THE PROCESS THAT YOU ALS AS YOU'RE DOING THE EVALUATION AND REVIEW THAT YOU CONTACT THE COUNCIL MEMBER'S OFFICE TO FIND OUT IF WE HAD PHONE CALLS FROM OUR CONSTITUENCIES COMPLAINING OR HAVING CONCERNS ABOUT THE WORK OF THOSE CONTRACTORS THAT ARE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. 
          IF THEY'RE, UM, IF THEY'RE LEAVING DIFFERENT SUPPLIES ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN EVALUATING THESE CONTRACTORS IN THE FUTURE. 
          THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I, I DIDN'T WANNA FORGET AND I WANTED TO PUT ON THE RECORD HERE IN, IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. 
          UM, SLIDE ON THE PLEASE SEND TO THE SLIDE ON THE NON-SERVICE ALLEY REPAIRS. 
          PLEASE. 
          DO YOU HAVE A, UM, THAT'S 1.3 MILLION AND IT'S A TWO YEAR PROJECT. 
          CAN I, IF, DO YOU HAVE A A MAP ON THAT? UH, WHERE THIS, THE WORK ON THESE SERVICE ALLEYS ARE GOING TO BE, UM, THE LOCATION OF WHERE THESE ARE GOING TO BE BECAUSE NO, WE DON'T HAVE A MAP, BUT WE CAN GET YOU THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          IF YOU CAN HAVE THAT FOR, UH, FOR ME. 
          OKAY. 
          ON THE FOLLOW UP, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT, UM, ISSUE WITH RUTTING AND OVERGROWN VEGETATION IS A BIG ISSUE. 
          I KNOW IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AND SOME OF THE OLDER COMMUNITIES, UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER AS WELL AS WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT ON THAT ITEM BECAUSE SOME FAMILIES, SOME RESIDENTS OR HOMEOWNERS ALSO TAKE UP THE ALLEYS, THEY MOVE THEIR FENCES AND THEY TAKE PART OF THAT ALLEY AS THEIR OWN. 
          SO WE NEED A WORKING COORDINATION WITH THAT. 
          BUT I DO WANT TO SEE A MAP ON THIS PLEASE. 
          SO LET ME GO TO THE A T D AND THE, UM, FISCAL YEAR 2020, UH, A T D AND THE SIDEWALK PRIORITIZATION RAZZIE, I KNOW YOU ALREADY FEEL AND ARE ANTICIPATING MY QUESTION OR MY STATEMENT THAT IS COMING UP HERE WHEN IT COMES TO SIDEWALKS AND DISTRICT THREE HAS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF SIDEWALK GAPS IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SIDEWALK. 
          UM, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT. 
          THAT'S WHY WE HAVE $9 MILLION IN THE BUDGET FOR DISTRICT THREE FOR OUR SIDEWALK AND PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY. 
          I GUESS IN SLIDE 14 AND 15, LET ME START WITH SLIDE 15. 
          WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU COULD PROVIDE FOR MY OFFICE, UM, OR FOR ALL OF US TOO, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS NOW I WANNA SEE THE INROADS THAT WE'VE MADE OF THESE, UH, GAP MILES IN THE SIDEWALK GAP MILES. 
          WHERE WERE WE MAYBE, UM, THREE YEARS AGO AND WHERE WE ARE, WHERE ARE WE NOW KIND OF SEEING HOW WE'RE MOVING THE NEEDLE ON THESE SIDEWALK GAPS. 
          IF YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT FOR US. 
          IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN THE BACKUP, I'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT SO WE CAN SEE HOW MUCH WE'VE BEEN, UM, MAKING POSITIVE CHANGES THERE. 
          I'D ALSO LIKE TO HAVE THAT BROKEN DOWN JUST FOR DISTRICT THREE OF HOW MANY WE 
          [04:45:01]
STARTED OFF. 
          UM, I'D LIKE TO KNOW SINCE 2013 AND TO WHERE WE ARE NOW, UM, WITH CLOSING DOWN WITH FILLING THOSE SIDEWALK GAPS. 
          UM, ON SLIDE 14 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE SIDEWALK PRIORITIZATION, AND YOU ALL AREN'T, UH, SURPRISED BY THIS EITHER BECAUSE I'VE MENTIONED TO THIS IN MANY DIFFERENT SETTINGS, IS, UM, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR PRIORITIZATION, I'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW AND WE TALK ABOUT EQUITY. 
          SO DID WE, IN LOOKING AT THESE SIDEWALK PRIORITIZATIONS ALSO LOOK AT THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF ALL THESE WITHIN OUR DISTRICTS AS WELL WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TRANSIT ACCESS? IS THAT MEAN TRANSIT CENTERS? 'CAUSE DISTRICT THREE NEVER HAD A TRANSIT CENTER UNTIL, IT'S NOT EVEN OPEN YET, BUT WE'RE GETTING ONE AT BROOKS. 
          AND THEN ABOUT THE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES, WE DO HAVE A HOSPITAL IN DISTRICT THREE AND SOME MEDICAL CLINICS, BUT I KNOW DISTRICT TWO DOESN'T HAVE A HOSPITAL IN THE AREA. 
          AND UM, SO I WANT TO KNOW IF WE HAD THAT LOOKED AT WITH THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF ARE ALL OF THESE THINGS EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF SAN IN ALL OF OUR COUNCIL DISTRICTS IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT OH YEAH, 10, 10 POINTS HERE, 12.5, UH, OR 15 POINTS HERE, AND THEN WE'RE PRIORITIZING AREAS WITH THE SIDEWALKS. 
          I WANT TO KNOW THAT WE DID OUR DUE DILIGENCE IN WORKING TO, TO SEE THAT. 
          DID WE COUNCILMAN WHEN WE PRESENT THIS, UH, PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA, WE HAD ITEM SIX WAS THE HOSPITAL AND YOU HAD A CONCERN MM-HMM. 
           AND IT WAS VERY LEGITIMATE CONCERN. 
          YOU SAID DISTRICT THREE DOES NOT HAVE ANY HOSPITAL AND IS NOT REALLY FAIR TO RATE. 
          AND WE CHANGED THAT ONE HEALTHCARE FACILITY MAJORITY IF NOT ALL OF THE DISTRICT HAS. 
          ALL OF THEM HAS. 
          THEREFORE REALLY WE NEUTRALIZE THAT CRITERIA TO MUTUALLY ALL EVERY DISTRICT'S NEEDS. 
          OKAY, SO YOU NEUTRALIZED IT, BUT THEN WE, I ALSO WANNA KNOW ABOUT THE TRANSIT ACCESS. 
          WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT TRANSIT ACCESS, WHAT DID, WHAT WAS THAT DEFINITION FOR TRANSIT ACCESS? IT'S REALLY A BUS STOP OR JUST BUS STOPS. 
          MAJOR BUSES STOP IS TRANSIT ACCESS. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I THINK WE NEED TO JUST CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT AT TOP OF MIND WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE IN THE PRIORITIZATIONS. 
          THAT WHAT COULD BE, UM, VERY, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVE A LOT OF OF ACCESS TO IT IN ONE PART OF TOWN DOESN'T HAVE THE ACCESS TO IT IN THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN. 
          AND THEN WE'RE BAKING INTO OUR SYSTEM PARTS OF TOWN TO CONTINUE TO STAY BEHIND EVEN WITH SIDEWALKS. 
          SO LET'S CONTINUE TO TO TO KEEP THAT IN FRONT OF MIND. 
          WANTING TO ALSO MAKE SURE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OTHER DESTINATIONS, THAT MEANS PARKS AND LIBRARIES, POSSIBILITY PARK AND LIBRARY CHURCHES, ALMOST ANYTHING. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYTHING PEOPLE GOES. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND I JUST WANNA CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT, UM, PART OF, UH, TOP OF MIND. 
          AND SO LET'S TALK ABOUT, UH, SLIDE NUMBER 16 AND THIS SIDEWALK REPAIR CREW , I'M GONNA CALL IT THAT RIGHT NOW. 
          SORRY, COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          UM, SO TELL ME ABOUT HOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS BEING, UH, PLAYING OUT THIS YEAR. 
          TODAY WAY WE ARE ANTICIPATING, WE ARE LOOKING TO HIRE SEVEN MAN CREW. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WE ARE ANTICIPATING TO WORK IN EACH COUNCIL. 
          THERE IS DISTRICT FIVE WEEKS. 
          OUR INTENTION IS TO DO ENTIRE CITY IN ONE YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          WE WILL BASICALLY USE THE EXISTING SIDEWALK CRITERIA. 
          WE GOT TO START FROM SOMEPLACE. 
          WE ARE GOING TO START WHERE WE HAVE ACCURATE DATA AMIDST THOSE REQUIREMENTS. 
          AND OF COURSE WE WILL WORK WITH COUNCIL'S OFFICE. 
          WE WILL NOT DO THIS ONE ON VACUUM AND THEN HAVE OUR CREW GO OVER THERE AND START WORKING WHY CREW AND NOT CONTRACT. 
          WE DID A ESTIMATE. 
          WE REALIZED MUCH, MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE IS IF WE DO IN-HOUSE, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MEASURING, INPUTTING, PAYING THEM, GETTING COMPLAIN. 
          WE DIDN'T PAY THEM ENOUGH IDENTIFYING AFTER WE SPENT FEW WEEKS OR MONTH OR SO, TRAIN THESE INDIVIDUAL, THEY'RE GOING TO ACT LIKE PADDLE PATROL, GO TO NEIGHBORHOOD, FIND THE AREA AND FIX IT. 
          OF COURSE WE ARE GOING TO DOCUMENT WHAT THEY DID, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BASICALLY GO TO NEIGHBORHOOD AND FINISH AND OF COURSE REPORT BACK TO US. 
          THAT'S THE WAY WE ARE END SPEEDING TO WORK. 
          AND IF IT WORKS VERY WELL NEXT YEAR WE MAY COME AND ASK ANOTHER CREW FOR 2021. 
          WELL THIS IS, I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN 
          [04:50:01]
DISTRICT THREE AND OUR RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE THE OLDER, UM, PARTS OF TOWN, THE OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS, THE SIDEWALKS WERE NOT A D A COMPLIANT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THOSE REGULATIONS WHEN THE SIDEWALKS WERE FIR PUT FIRST PUT IN PLACE. 
          AND THEN ALSO WITH JUST THE GROWTH OF TREES AND BUCKLING OF OF SIDEWALKS, IT JUST CHANGES, UM, NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          SO WE'RE VERY, WE'RE VERY, VERY EXCITED TO SEE THIS AND TO SEE THE ACTION BEING TAKEN PLACE HERE. 
          IT SAYS HERE ON YOUR SLIDE REPAIR 1.9 MILES OF DETERIORATED SIDEWALKS TO RESTORE SIDEWALK USABILITY CITYWIDE. 
          SO THAT'S 1.9 MILES TOTAL THROUGHOUT THE CITY OR PER COUNCIL DISTRICT? NO, THAT WILL BE TOTAL FOR THROUGHOUT THE CITY, BUT IT'LL YIELD OVER SIX MILE OF USABLE SIDEWALK OVER SIX MILES. 
          THAT'S ABSOLUTELY MINIMUM. 
          IF WE DO AS GOOD AS WE DID IN D ONE TOBAN HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD, THE RATIO WAS FIVE TO ONE. 
          THIS COULD BE AS MUCH AS 10 MILE DEPEND ON THE AREA WE SELECT MM-HMM. 
           THE MORE DETERIORATED SIDEWALK THERE IS, THE RATIO WILL BE LESS, THE LESS DETERIORATED SIDEWALK THERE IS, THE RATIO WILL BE HIGHER. 
          SO, UH, I THINK THIS IS A, A GREAT IDEA. 
          I THINK IT'S GOING TO BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE TOGETHER AND REALLY HELP US, UM, UH, MAKE THAT CONNECTIVITY THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND I'M JUST HOPING THAT WE CAN WORK. 
          YOU SAID THAT IT'S ALREADY DATA THAT YOU HAVE AND SOME OF THE DATA AND YOU'RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH US AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE. 
          AND THEN I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT TURN. 
          UH, I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT RESPONSE TO THIS, UH, CREW AND THIS PROGRAM. 
          SO I THINK WE SHOULD JUST START LOOKING FOR IT IN THE FUTURE. 
          ERIC. 
          THANK YOU ROSIE. 
          UM, CONTINUING WITH MY QUESTIONS HERE. 
          UM, ON THE STORM WATER OPERATING FUNDS FOR THE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT, HAS THIS INCREASED, UM, OVER ANY TIME OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS? HAVE WE INCREASED THAT AMOUNT? WHAT'S 24 ON SLIDE NUMBER 24? SO THE, ALSO THE CHANNEL AND CREEK MAINTENANCE AS WELL AS VEGETATION MANAGEMENT. 
          HAVE WE SEEN AN INCREASE IN THOSE TWO FOR THE PAST? COULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT THE QUESTION ONE MORE TIME? SO IN THE, IN THIS UH, STORMWATER OPERATING FUND, HAVE WE SEEN AN INCREASE, UH, FOR DOLLARS IN THE CHANNEL AND CREEK MAINTENANCE AND IN THE VEGETATION, UH, MANAGEMENT FROM TWO YEARS TO NOW? NO. 
          YOU MEAN THE COST OF THE WORK? NO, I MEAN JUST IN INCREASE THE REVENUE. 
          YES. 
          NO. 
          SO WE HAVEN'T SEEN AN INCREASE OF THOSE FUNDS. 
          CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND THE CHANNEL AND CREEK MAINTENANCE, CAN YOU PLEASE REMIND ME AGAIN, HOW OFTEN DO WE SEE THAT HAPPEN? HOW OFTEN, HOW FREQUENT IS THAT? WE CHANNEL AND WE DO 12 MONTHS ABOUT, CAN WE DO KNOWING THE CHANNEL SIX TIMES? I'M SORRY, IT'S FOUR TIMES. 
          YEAH, WE DO FOUR TIME MOW THE CHANNEL. 
          OKAY. 
          FOR FOUR TIMES PER YEAR. 
          MEDIANS 12 TIMES RIGHT AWAY. 
          SIX LINE. 
          GOOD. 
          GOOD. 
          SO FOUR TIMES DOING THE CHANNEL. 
          AND IS THAT, ARE WE STILL DOING THE CREEK MAINTENANCE AS WELL WITH THE COUNTY TOO? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT, UM, IN THE PAST, FOR EXAMPLE, IN KE KECHI PARK AND SOME OF THOSE CREEKS THAT GO THROUGH THERE, DO WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OR DOES THE COUNTY DO, DO THOSE MAINTENANCE OF THOSE CHANNELS? COUNTY DOES THEIRS. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE, ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          AND I STARTED WITH THE FIRST ONE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I THINK MY FINAL, UH, COMMENTS ARE GOING TO BE FOR, FOR YOU RAZZIE, IS THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO, UM, TO LOOK FOR THOSE SIDEWALK DOLLARS AND THAT CONNECTIVITY AND LEVERAGING WHAT DOLLARS WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT GAP FILLED WHEN IT COMES TO MISSION ROAD IN AND AROUND STINSON AIRPORT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT CONNECTIVITY TAKE PLACE. 
          AND THEN ALSO AT TO MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES WHO ARE ON THE M P O, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO ASK FOR AND TO, TO REQUEST AND TO, TO TALK ABOUT IS THAT EAST WEST CONNECTOR THAT WE NEED SOUTH OF FOUR 10. 
          WE HAVE, UM, THIS INCREDIBLE 
          [04:55:01]
GROWTH THAT IS HAPPENING AND WE NEED SOME SORT OF RELIEF GOING FROM HIGHWAY 16 PALO ALTO ROAD ALL THE WAY TO 2 81 AND THEN TO, UH, 37. 
          WE HAVE EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING NEAR PALO ALTO, NEAR TOYOTA, NEAR TEXAS, A AND M, SAN ANTONIO, T J X. 
          WE NEED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF START IN MAKING A REALITY. 
          ALL OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL LINES ON THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE PLAN MAP COME TO LIFE AND TO BECOME A REALITY AND NOT JUST LINES ON A PIECE OF PAPER, WE NEED TO PUT, UM, CONCRETE STEPS IN PLACE TO MAKE THAT EAST WEST CONNECTOR FOR THAT RELIEF AND THAT TRAFFIC AND BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE TO IT. 
          SO THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN GRO. 
          COUNCILMAN COURAGE. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR RAJI. 
          WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK, UH, RECENTLY ABOUT YOUR BUDGET AND I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT. 
          UH, BUT IN, IN TAKING ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS, I HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. 
          UH, ONE THING THAT, THAT HONESTLY I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND MY CONSTITUENTS I THINK DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, UH, ON SLIDE SIX WHEN WE TALK ABOUT, UH, STREET NETWORK CONDITION AND UH, MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THOSE NETWORKS, UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PRESERVATION AND REHABILITATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR A BETTER DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THOSE PROCESSES ACTUALLY ENHA ENCOMPASS. 
          YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN, WELL I KNOW A CRACK SEAL IS, BUT WHEN DO WE DO FOG SEAL OR SLURRY SEAL, UH, AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          AND SO I'D JUST LIKE TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME BY AND TALK WITH ME ABOUT THAT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE ANY MORE FAMILIAR WITH IT, BUT AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD QUESTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAID, WELL, YOU'VE DONE THIS, BUT THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. 
          COULD WE HAVE DONE THAT? SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF BRING THAT UP AGAIN AND ASK THAT WE, WE VISIT ON THAT SOMETIME. 
          UM, ON, UH, SIDEWALK PRIORITIZATION ON, ON PAGE 14 WHEN WE SET THE PRIORITIES AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE, UH, GAPS AND EVERYTHING AND THE ALLOCATIONS ON PERCENTAGES OF UH, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH WE MIGHT DO IN THESE SIDEWALKS. 
          WE, WE KIND OF LOOKED AT EVERYTHING AND DECIDED MAX POINTS AND THEN, UM, WAS ALL OF ALL OF THAT CALCULATION, I THINK IT'S SLIDE 14 BUILT INTO HOW WE DEVELOP OUR UH, I M P FOR SIDEWALKS. 
          WAS THAT THE TOOL THAT WAS USED? CORRECT. 
          WE USE THIS TOOL AND OF COURSE WE ALWAYS WOULD WORK WITH COUNCIL'S OFFICE TO SAY THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION, BUT UH, SO NOW EVERYTHING THAT'S ON MY I M P OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS FOR STREETS SHOULD BE BASED ON THESE ONE THROUGH FIVE PRIORITIES SHOULD MEET MOST OF THIS CRITERIA. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ON SLIDE UH, 17 WE WERE TALKING ABOUT UM, VISION ZERO. 
          AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT SUCCESS OR IMPROVEMENTS HAVE WE ACHIEVED UH, IN VISION ZERO SO FAR? 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA PUT ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS INTO IT. 
          AND I ASK THIS VERY CRITICALLY 'CAUSE I THINK WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD MORE PEOPLE DIE ON OUR STREETS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, EVEN THOUGH WE'VE INSTITUTED THIS. 
          SO WHAT HAVE WE ACHIEVED? LET ME ASK ART TO COME OVER. 
           COUNCILMAN, UM, ONE OF THE GRAPHICS ON THIS SLIDE, AND WE HATE TALKING ABOUT STATISTICS 'CAUSE IT REPRESENTS PEOPLE'S LIVES, BUT RIGHT WHAT WE'RE SHOWING, UH, HERE IS REALLY OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS WE'VE SEEN IT DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF FATALITIES CITYWIDE. 
          UH, WE'RE STILL AVERAGING ABOUT 159 PEOPLE, UH, LOSING THEIR LIVES CITYWIDE. 
          UH, SO THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK TO DO. 
          UM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE ALSO SEEING OUR POPULATION GROW SIGNIFICANTLY. 
          AS YOU KNOW, UH, SAN ANTONIO IS PROBABLY THE FASTEST GROWING CITY LAST YEAR. 
          SO WE HAVE SEEN SOME DECLINE. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO. 
          UM, AND OVER TIME WE'LL BE ABLE TO MEASURE SUCCESS BECAUSE WE'VE IMPLEMENTED NOW ABOUT A DOZEN PROJECTS THROUGH THE PROGRAM LIKE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS OR MID-BLOCK CROSSINGS. 
          UH, IT TAKES SOME TIME TO EVALUATE THAT. 
          SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL BE LOOKING AT OVER TIME. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL I'M JUST WONDERING, MAYBE WE NEED MORE MONEY IN THIS IF WE'RE REALLY GONNA MAKE A DENT, UH, IN THESE, THESE NUMBERS. 
          BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ENCOURAGED SO FAR BY WHAT I'VE, I'VE SEEN AND HEARD. 
          SO I HOPE THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH AN EVALUATION THAT SHOWS US WE'RE REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE. 
          THANK YOU COUNCILMAN. 
          ONE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 
          WE ARE NEVER GOING TO KNOW IF WE HAD NOT SPENT THIS 1 MILLION, HOW MANY FATALITIES WE WOULD HAVE. 
          WE JUST DON'T KNOW AND WE REALLY DON'T WANNA KNOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, ON SLIDE 19, WE TALK ABOUT A BIKE MASTER PLAN AND WE'RE PUTTING IN $1.2 MILLION. 
          UH, 
          [05:00:01]
HOW MUCH WAS SPENT ON THE PREVIOUS BIKE MASTER PLAN? WHAT YEAR WAS THAT? IT WAS A 2011. 
          HOW MUCH DID WE SPEND 300,000? THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE, THE MASTER PLAN WE HAVE COUNCILMAN IS VERY GENERAL WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO IDENTIFY THE RIGHT OF WAY, WE CAN REALLY BUILD PROTECTED SIDEWALK AND COMMUNITY GETS BY OUT ON THAT ONE COMMUNITY AGREE WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BUILD WHEN IT COMES TO PROJECT, THEN WE ARE NOT GOING TO ARGUE SHOULD HAVE HAD THE SIDEWALK ON THIS ROADWAY OR NOT IS IDENTIFIED. 
          THEN WE GO THROUGH THE BOND BUDGET PROCESS. 
          WHEN BOND COMES COST ESTIMATING AND SCOPING, WE PUT ENOUGH MONEY AND WE BUILD A PROJECT ACCORDING WHAT WE HAD AGREE WITH ALL OF US AND COMMUNITY. 
          THAT'S THE REASON WE REALLY WANNA UPGRADE THE MASTER PLAN. 
          WE HAVE NOT HAVE REALLY LINE ON THE MAP WHEN IDENTIFY THE ROADWAY. 
          WE CAN PHYSICALLY BE ABLE TO BUILD BIKE LANE ON THAT ROADWAY. 
          WELL I THINK YOU'RE OPTIMISTIC WHEN YOU SAY EVERYBODY'S GONNA AGREE ON A NEW PLAN. 
          WE HAD A PLAN EIGHT YEARS AGO THAT WAS A MASTER PLAN AND UH, YOU KNOW, NOW WE NEED A NEW MASTER PLAN AFTER EIGHT YEARS. 
          UH, WHAT PERCENTAGE WAS IMPLEMENTED FROM THE PREVIOUS PLAN? CAN ART TELL US? SO SINCE THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS ADOPTED BACK IN 2011, WE'VE ROUGHLY DOUBLED THE AMOUNT OF BIKE FACILITIES IN PLACE. 
          UM, BUT ALSO REMIND YOU 2011 WAS WAS A WHILE AGO AND THAT WAS PRES SCOOTER AND, AND PRE DEMANDS OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING FOR MICRO MOBILITY. 
          SO THAT'S ONE OF THE KEY THINGS AS WELL. 
          AND THEN AS ROZI MENTIONED, REALLY GETTING INTO DEEPER DISCUSSIONS ON, ON WHERE FACILITIES CAN FIT. 
          HOW, HOW CLOSE WERE WE TO MATCHING WHAT WE PUT IN THAT ORIGINAL PLAN AS FAR AS WHAT WE'VE DONE? DID WE DO 50% OF IT? 80% OF IT, 20% OF IT? NO, WE, WE'VE ONLY DONE A, A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE OVERALL VISION AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IS IMPLEMENTED WHAT WE CALL THE, THE LOW HANGING FRUIT. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT OUR, OUR NETWORK IS NOT VERY CONNECTED RIGHT NOW. 
          IT'S FRAGMENTED THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          THOSE WERE REALLY THE EASY PROJECTS THAT WE COULD IMPLEMENT WITH THE FUNDING THAT WAS AVAILABLE. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT WITH THE UPDATE. 
          WELL I GUESS, YOU KNOW, PREVIOUS COUNCILS THAT APPROVED THAT PROBABLY SAID, WELL WE HOPE THIS IS GONNA SOLVE A PROBLEM NOW IT'S COMING TO ANOTHER COUNCIL AND WE'RE GONNA SAY WE HOPE IT SOLVES A PROBLEM. 
          WHEN ARE WE GONNA TAKE BIKE LANES? SERIOUSLY, I HOPE THIS IS WHEN IT HAPPENS AND I HOPE ANOTHER COUNCIL EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW DOESN'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO ANOTHER MASTER BIKE PLAN. 
          WE NEED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR STOP SPENDING MONEY ON IT. 
          UM, THAT'S JUST MY COMMENT ON THAT. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE RIGHT OF WAY MANAGEMENT. 
          UH, SLIDE 22. 
          UM, WHAT ARE THE CHARGES FOR THESE VARIOUS RIGHT OF WAY MANAGEMENT? 'CAUSE I'M LOOKING AT A TOTAL NUMBER PROJECTED FOR NEXT YEAR OF 21,000 PROJECTS THAT WE ANTICIPATE FOR RIGHT OF WAY. 
          AND IF WE'RE GONNA BE SPENDING 3.7 MILLION, THEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT $170 FOR EVERY ONE ON AVERAGE. 
          WHAT ARE THE CHARGES FOR THESE ARE THE, IS THERE ROOM FOR THE CITY TO INCREASE THESE CHARGES? UH, YOU KNOW, ARE WE STAYING STABLE? ARE WE, HAVE WE CUT CHARGES? ARE WE RAISING THEM? SO WHAT ARE THESE CHARGES FOR RIGHT OF WAY MANAGEMENT BECAUSE WE'RE GIVING THE CITIES RIGHT OF WAY A WAY TO PRIVATE BUSINESSES IN ALMOST ALL OF THESE COUNCILMAN WE HAD, UH, LAST YEAR WE HAD 6,761 POINT REPAIR PERMIT IN INSPECTION. 
          THE FEE FOR ALL OF THESE WAS 811,000. 
          WE HAD 300 3352 PROJECT PERMITING INSPECTION FEE WAS 1.99 MILLION. 
          I DON'T HAVE PER EACH. 
          ANTHONY MAY HAVE BREACH. 
          AND WE HAVE REACHED HELLO COUNCILMAN. 
          HELLO ANTHONY. 
          SO THE RIGHT OF WAY FUND IS AN ENTERPRISE FUND AND THE FEES ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE FUNCTION OF PROVIDING INSPECTION SERVICES TO ENSURE THAT CONSTRUCTION THE RIGHT OF WAY IS DONE IN THE MOST OPTIMAL MANNER. 
          SO WILL IT PAY FOR ITSELF? YES, IT'S, IT'S SELF-SUPPORTING. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I HAVE THE EXACT FEES THAT WE CHARGE. 
          IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY THE SPECIFIC FEES THAT WE CHARGE FOR INSPECTIONS, BUT PRIMARILY THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED SOURCE IS DOING WORK IN AN AREA WE CHARGE, IF IT'S A PROJECT, WE CHARGE A DAILY INSPECTION FEE BASED ON THE DURATION OF THAT PROJECT. 
          IF IT'S JUST A POINT REPAIR, THEN WE CHARGE AN INSPECTION FEE JUST TO DO THAT POINT REPAIR INSPECTION. 
          UH, SO I PRESUME THEN WE BROKE EVEN, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT 
          [05:05:01]
OVER. 
          PRIMARILY WE, WE DESIGNED IT SUCH THAT WE'RE NOT MAKING A PROFIT IN IT. 
          IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BASICALLY CALIBRATED TO GENERATE REVENUES TO SUPPORT THE FUNDS. 
          WELL I ASK THAT 'CAUSE I KNOW WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF OTHER ENTERPRISE FUNDS THAT HAVE SOME PRETTY HEFTY RESERVES OVER THE YEARS THAT HAVE ACCUMULATED THAT MAYBE CAN BE ADDITIONALLY USED BY THE CITY AND OTHER AREAS. 
          BUT THEY'RE ENTERPRISE FUNDS SO THEY'RE UNTOUCHABLE. 
          UH, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF SPECIAL RESERVE IN IN RIGHT OF WAY. 
          WE DO HAVE SOME CREAM FRONT. 
          I MEAN IT, IT'S BUILDING A LITTLE BIT BUT IT'S NOT, AND SOME OF IT IS USED FOR STREET MAINTENANCE. 
          UM, AND FOR NEXT YEAR THERE IS SOME OF IT AS PLANNED FOR STREET MAINTENANCE. 
          OKAY. 
          I'D BE INTERESTED IN JUST HEARING WHAT THAT IS SOMETIME. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. 
          UM, I'D LIKE TO ASK ABOUT, UM, LET'S SEE IF I CAN READ THE SLIDE. 
          IT'S ON STORMWATER, UTILITY AND REGIONAL. 
          IT'S THE, UH, FIRST ONE TALKS ABOUT OPERATING FUND TO 55.3 MILLION ON THAT. 
          UH, YOU HAD MENTIONED, BUT I'M SORRY I DIDN'T RECORD. 
          HOW OFTEN WE ACTUALLY GO OUT AND PERFORM SOME OF THE MAINTENANCE. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, UH, HOW OFTEN DO WE DO STREET SWEEPING ON OUR, ON OUR STREET SCHEDULE? HOW OFTEN DO WE DO, UH, CHANNEL AND CREEK MAINTENANCE? HOW OFTEN DO WE DO VEGETATION MANAGEMENT? BECAUSE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF CITY MANAGED ISLANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF OUR, UH, THOROUGHFARES THAT ARE IN TERRIBLE CONDITION. 
          THEY HARDLY EVER GET TREATED. 
          NOW I RECOGNIZE SOME OF THESE ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, BUT WHAT IS THE NORMAL SCHEDULE FOR PROVIDING THESE MAINTENANCE SERVICES IN THESE THREE PARTICULAR AREAS? ON STREET SWEEPING, RESIDENTIAL TWICE PER YEAR, ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR, FOUR TIMES CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, WHICH IS DOWNTOWN NIGHTLY. 
          MOVING ON THE CHANNEL AS YOU SPEND SIX TIMES, I'M SORRY, FOUR TIMES AND MEDIAN SIX TIMES, 12 TIMES AND RIGHT AWAY IS SIX TIMES AND BUYOUT ANYTIME WE BUY OUT THE PROPERTY IS NINE TIMES. 
          OKAY. 
          COULD YOU SEND THAT TO ME? I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO WRITE IT ALL DOWN. 
          WE CAN. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, COUNCILMAN, UM, YES. 
          UM, OVER HERE, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL WE'LL INCLUDE THAT IN THE FOLLOW UP. 
          BUT I GUESS TO YOUR, TO YOUR QUESTION IS, IS YOUR QUESTION ON HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THE FREQUENCY OF THAT TYPE OF MAINTENANCE? BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S PROBABLY ANOTHER ANSWER THAT WE CAN INCLUDE IN THE FOLLOW UP. 
          WELL, I GUESS ONCE WE, ONCE I HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW OFTEN IT'S DONE, IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE EASIER FOR ME TO GO BACK TO MY COMMUNITY AND SAY, WELL THIS IS HOW OFTEN WE DO IT. 
          AND, AND FOR THE COMMUNITY TO KIND OF MONITOR IT AND, AND DETERMINE IS THAT ENOUGH? IS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENING? OKAY. 
          TOO OFTEN, UH, I THINK PEOPLE IN SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES PRESUME THINGS ARE GONNA BE DONE MORE OFTEN THAN MAYBE THEIR SCHEDULE TO BE DONE. 
          UH, AND, AND SOMETIMES THINGS DON'T GET DONE ACCORDING TO A SCHEDULE THAT PEOPLE ARE DEPENDING ON. 
          SO I JUST LIKE TO HAVE AN IDEA 'CAUSE THERE'S A VARIETY OF SCHEDULES DEPENDING ON THE KIND OF SERVICE WE'RE ASKING ABOUT. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK IT'D BE HEALTHY JUST TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE AND IT'D BE ABLE TO RELAY THAT INFORMATION TO PEOPLE IN MY DISTRICT. 
          OKAY. 
          YES SIR. 
          AND THEN WE KNOW IF THE COST IS WORTH IT. 
          UM, ON ANOTHER STORMWATER UTILITY FEE INCREASE, UH, IT SAYS FIFTH AND FINAL YEAR, 1 MILLION. 
          I THINK IT'S PAGE 25 OR SLIDE 25. 
          UH, IF WE'RE INCREASING THE RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL AMOUNTS THIS YEAR, WHAT WERE THEY LAST YEAR? WE ARE INCREASING BASICALLY $1 AND 30 CENTS FOR RESIDENTIAL AND $8 90 CENTS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL FOR FY 19 WAS $3 AND 65 60 7 CENTS FOR TIER ONE, BECAUSE THEY'RE IN TIERS, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE. 
          THE PREVIOUS COVER TIER TWO WAS FOUR POINT 83 CENT. 
          TIER THREE WAS $10 AND 22 CENT ON COMMERCIAL BASIC WAS 65 AND 82 CENTS. 
          AND THEN TIER ONE AND TWO TWO GOES ABOVE THAT. 
          AGAIN, ALL OF THESE BASED ON HOW MUCH IMPERVIOUS COVER THAT PROPERTY HAS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE WALMART PAYS MORE THAN SOME OTHER AREA WHICH A HUNDRED PERCENT PAVED BASED ON IMPERVIOUS COVER. 
          CORRECT. 
          HOW IS THIS FEE COLLECTED? IT COLLECTED THROUGH THE SAW ON THEIR WATER BILL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THIS INCREASE IS GONNA RAISE PEOPLE'S SAW BILL, RIGHT? IT IS PART OF SAW BILL, CORRECT. 
          [05:10:01]
RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE, I I HAVE A, A PROBLEM WITH WHEN WE USE OUR UTILITY BILLS TO COLLECT CITY FEES THAT DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WATER DELIVERY, UH, WATER SERVICE OR ENERGY SERVICE LIKE THE PARK BILL, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO HIDE IT FROM THE PUBLIC BY PUTTING 'EM INTO OTHER SERVICES THAT REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT. 
          AND WE GIVE THEM NAMES THAT KIND OF INDICATE MAYBE THEY DO. 
          BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, WITH A LOT OF THESE FEES, UM, PEOPLE HAVING TO PAY MORE IN THEIR WATER BILL, THEIR ELECTRIC BILL, THEIR UTILITY BILLS, WHICH ARE VERY CHALLENGING FOR MANY PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          UH, ON THE ONE HAND WE SAY WE'RE LOWERING YOUR TAXES AND ON THE OTHER HAND WE SAY WE'RE GONNA RAISE FEES THAT WE COLLECT THROUGH OTHER AVENUES. 
          COUNCILMAN ERIC, UM, HAS SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO CLARIFY ON THAT? I WAS JUST GONNA ADD COUNCILMAN. 
          THE, THE REASON WHY WE DO THAT IS BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY MORE EFFICIENT FROM A RATE PAYER TAXPAYER STANDPOINT TO UTILIZE THE, THE BILLING SYSTEMS THAT BOTH UTILITIES RATHER THAN ACTUALLY REPLICATING THAT HERE AS AN ORGANIZATION. 
          UM, AND, AND WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THE C THROUGH OUR SOLID WASTE FEES OR STORMWATER FEE WITH SAWS, UM, I I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT I'D REALLY WANT TO, THAT I'D EVER RECOMMEND REPLICATING A BILLING SYSTEM THAT WE WOULD MANAGE. 
          UH, WHEN, WHEN THAT EXISTS AT BOTH UTILITIES. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT THE POINT YOU'RE MAKING, AND I ACTUALLY, IT WAS A CITIZEN LAST NIGHT AT DISTRICT 10 RAISED THE SAME ISSUE WITH ME. 
          IF THERE ARE, IF THERE ARE WAYS WE CAN CLARIFY WHAT THOSE RATES ARE AND THAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR A SERVICE, UM, THEN, THEN WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT THAT. 
          BUT, BUT FROM, IT'S AN, IT'S MORE OF AN EFFICIENCY ISSUE I THINK FROM, FROM MY STANDPOINT. 
          I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. 
          WELL, ERIC, AND IF I MAY, I MEAN THE, THE MUNICIPAL STORMWATER UTILITY FEE IS A STATUTORILY GOVERNED UTILITY THAT THE CITY RUNS. 
          THERE'S NOT MANY OPTIONS IN TERMS OF HOW IT CAN BE BILLED. 
          THE SAWS BILL IS WHERE WE WOULD NORMALLY PUT IT. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. 
          WELL WE, WE COULD DO IT ON OUR OWN. 
          I, I GUESS, BUT, UM, IT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE FROM A WATER STANDPOINT TO UTILIZE THE STRUCTURES OF THE, THE RATE STRUCTURE AT SAWS. 
          'CAUSE AS, AS RAZZIE POINTED OUT, RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS PAID TWO DIFFERENT RATES. 
          THOSE CATEGORIES ALSO EXIST ON THE SAS. 
          BILL, COUNCILMAN YOU ON THE FLOOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, ON I, ON SLIDE 31, UH, LET ME SEE ON, NO, WAIT A SECOND. 
          THAT'S THE WRONG ONE. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          UH, SLIDE 33, UM, ITEM AT THE TOP IT SAYS EDWARDS AQUIFER PROTECTION PROGRAM. 
          WE'RE GOING TO, UH, INCLUDE $20 MILLION GOING INTO THAT PROGRAM IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          AND I RECOGNIZE THAT'S PART OF OUR SALES TAX. 
          UH, BUT HOW MUCH IS THE CURRENT BALANCE IN THE EDWARDS AQUIFER PROTECTION PROGRAM? AND THAT'S RUN UNDER PARKS, ISN'T IT? CORRECT. 
          WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE CURRENT BALANCE, COUNCILMAN? GIMME A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND I'LL CALCULATE IT REAL QUICK AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND, UH, I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAD TO ASK ABOUT MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          AND I JUST WANTED TO INTERJECT THAT I'M, I'M SITTING HERE LISTENING TO THE PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU OZZY. 
          IT'S, UH, IT, YOUR BUDGET IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE COMPLICATED ONES FOR US TO GET THROUGH. 
          UM, BUT I WAS JUST OBSERVING, ERIC, THAT YOUR PRESENTATION AND THE DISCUSSION THAT'S ENSUING IS IN, IN STARK CONTRAST FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE. 
          AND I, I DON'T WANT US TO GET OFF TRACK WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FREQUENCY OF SERVICE OR MILES OF CENTER LINE, UM, REPAVING OR, OR STRIPING WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES TO PARTICULAR BUDGETS. 
          I DON'T WANT US TO GET OFF TRACK IN TERMS OF THE STRIDES THAT WE'VE MADE AND MEASURING OUTCOMES. 
          I MEAN, WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO DO WHEN WE, WHEN WE ALLOCATE UM, $14 MILLION INTO DISTRICT TWO, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN SOME OTHER DISTRICTS. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, THAT HAVE FOR GREATER PART OF A GENERATION BEEN LEFT BEHIND, WHERE PEOPLE HAVE, UM, NOT BEEN ABLE TO WALK TO SCHOOL WITHOUT GETTING, UM, YOU KNOW, WALKING THROUGH MUD ON THEIR WAY TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY HADN'T HAD THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN WASHED OUT FROM REPEATED FLOODS BECAUSE THEY'RE IN AN AREA OF TOWN THAT IS MORE PRONE TO, TO FLOOD. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT MORE, UM, CLEARLY ARTICULATED ERIC AS WE LISTEN TO THE BUDGET PRESENTATIONS, NOT JUST IN T C I, BUT THROUGHOUT THE BUDGET WHERE WE'RE SEEING THE METRICS 
          [05:15:01]
AND OUTCOMES AS OPPOSED TO COUNTING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THROUGH THE TURNSTILES. 
          I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A CONVERSATION ABOUT EQUITY. 
          EQUITY REMAINS THE FOCUS OF OUR EFFORTS HERE AT THE CITY. 
          IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, AND I DON'T WANNA LOSE TRACK OF THAT. 
          I THINK, UM, ONE THING THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE YET, ERIC, WITH, WITH THE NEW COUNCIL, IT'S BEEN ONLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS, IS WE HAVEN'T REORIENTED OURSELVES TOWARDS THE NOTION OF EQUITY, THE CONCEPT, HOW WE DEFINE EQUITY, WHAT IT IS IN TERMS OF THE PROCESS OF BUDGETING AND THE DEPARTMENT, UM, PHILOSOPHIES, IF WE CAN INSERT THAT SOMEHOW. 
          I, I, I KNOW WE'VE GOT A CRAMMED REST OF THE NEXT MONTH OR SO BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTUAL RATIFICATION OF THE BUDGET, BUT EITHER DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER, IF WE CAN REORIENT OURSELVES AS A NEW COUNCIL TOWARDS BUDGET AND WHAT, BUT TOWARDS EQUITY AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE WITH OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE AS OPPOSED TO, UM, THE NUMERIC MEASURES, I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR US. 
          BUT I'M JUST, ONE THING THAT JUDGE BULL SAID, UH, THAT IS STILL, UH, JUST RESONATING IN MY MIND IS THAT THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DIDN'T, DOESN'T HAVE, EXCUSE ME, THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS OF SAN ANTONIO DON'T HAVE A DROPOUT PROBLEM. 
          THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO HAS A DROPOUT PROBLEM. 
          THAT'S A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT THE ISSUE, UM, THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE COUNTED IN A PERCENTAGE AND, AND NOW IS BEING SEEN AS A COMMUNITY-WIDE ISSUE THAT IS CHANGING PEOPLE'S LIVES. 
          AND IT'S MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR US. 
          BUT, UM, JUST WANTED TO INTERJECT THAT I DIDN'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE THAT, UH, CLEAR IF WE CAN, IF WE CAN GET BACK TO THAT WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, EMPHASIS. 
          THANK YOU, AZI. 
          UM, COUNCIL MEMBER GONZALEZ. 
          UH, THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          AND IF, IN FACT, COUNCILMAN VERAN ASKED SOME QUESTIONS THAT WERE SPECIFIC TO HER DISTRICT, AND I WOULD LIKE THAT INFORMATION FOR MINE AS WELL, UH, REGARDING SIDEWALK GAPS AND, YOU KNOW, SOME THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          BUT, UM, ONE QUESTION I HAD, YOU KNOW, EVEN JUST FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE BUDGET PRESENTATION, SO YOU DO OPEN THE STREETS PRESENTATION, STREET MAINTENANCE ABOUT THE NUMBER OF CENTER LINE MILES, THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING, BUT THEN WE HAVE A $1.5 BILLION ONE TIME NEED. 
          SO WHAT, WHAT IS THAT ONE TIME NEED? IF WE WANNA IMPROVE ALL OF OUR STREET TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, IT COSTS $1.5 MILLION, 1.5 BILLION. 
          OKAY. 
          1.5 BILLION, RIGHT? BILLION WITH B, IF WE WANTED ALL OF OUR STREETS TO BE, UM, A GREAT, A CORRECT OR EXTERNAL CONDITION. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE, I I GUESS WE ARE, UM, I KNOW ADDRESSING THINGS, UH, AS BEST WE CAN. 
          YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'VE STRETCHED OUR BUDGET OVER THE YEARS TO, UH, PROVIDE MORE STREET MAINTENANCE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT OUR CONSTITUENTS HAVE ASKED US FOR, UH, OVER THE YEARS, WAS TO INVEST MORE IN STREETS. 
          AND, AND WE'RE SEEING THAT, UH, BY THE INVESTMENT, BUT AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT STREET MAINTENANCE, AND PERHAPS IT'S JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE BETTER DATA ABOUT STREET MAINTENANCE THAN WE DO IN OTHER BUDGETS, BUT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR MANY YEARS WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO GET OUR DRAINAGE UP TO A HIGHER STANDARD? AND, UM, WHAT WOULD IT DO? WHAT, HOW MUCH WOULD IT TAKE TO GET OUR DRAINAGE REQUIREMENT AT LEAST ACCOUNTED FOR? UM, AND I NEVER HAVE GOTTEN THAT ANSWER. 
          I'VE ASKED OVER THE YEARS, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO GET OUR FACILITIES BUDGET? UM, WHAT ARE ALL THE REQUIREMENTS? WE HAVE A PROGRAM NOW, WE ARE LOOKING TELEVISING UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE PIPE REGARDING THEIR CONDITION, NOT NECESSARILY THEIR CAPACITY, BUT CONDITION. 
          SOME OF THE PIPE IS VERY OLD. 
          THEY, THEY ARE DETERIORATED, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE A CORRUGATED PIPE. 
          WHEN WE TELEVISE THEM AND IDENTIFY THEM, WE END UP CREATING A PROJECT TO FIX THEM. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW. 
          BUT DO WE HAVE AN EXTENT OF THE NEED, UH, IN TERMS OF A BUDGET, UH, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A NUMBER THAT HAS BEEN, LIKE, HAS NEVER BEEN PRESENTED TO US. 
          AND I ASK THAT QUESTION BECAUSE I, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN WITH THE DOLLARS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. 
          UM, BUT WHEN WE DON'T REALLY KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE NEED, THEN IT'S HARD FOR US TO DETERMINE WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO ALLOCATE THOSE FUNDS. 
          [05:20:01]
NEFE IS TELLING ME OUR NEED TO BRING ALL OF THE UNDERGROUND SYSTEM TO MEET TWO DAYS' REQUIREMENTS AT $2 BILLION. 
          $2 BILLION. 
          CORRECT. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SHOWING 1.5 BILLION FOR STREETS. 
          WE HAVE NO NUMBER FOR SIDEWALKS. 
          WE HAVE NUMBER FOR SIDEWALKS. 
          WHAT, WHAT NUMBER IS THAT? IT SAYS 19 UNDER 1900 MILES. 
          THIS AVERAGE PRICE IS A $75 OR SO, I THINK, CAN WE CALCULATE THAT FOR CUSTOMER SIDEWALK FOR SIDEWALK IS ABOUT $800 MILLION. 
          800 MILLION. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          SO, UH, I THINK MY COLLEAGUES SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS, OR PROBABLY WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS WHERE ERIC SEES WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS. 
          UM, I'VE ASKED MANY YEARS, UH, FOR THE NEED OF FACILITIES, AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S AN EXCESS OF 200 MILLION. 
          AND SO WE AS A COUNSELOR ARE DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HOW WE SHOULD INVEST THOSE DOLLARS. 
          UH, BUT WE, WE, I, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE'VE EVER GOTTEN A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE EXTENT OF THE NEED. 
          AND SO WHEN WE MAKE DECISIONS LIKE WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD DO A HOMEOWNER'S EXEMPTION OR WE MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HOW WE FUND VIA, OR HOW WE FUND OUR DELEGATE AGENCIES, UH, WE DON'T HAVE A TOTAL PICTURE OF THE NEED. 
          AND SO, UH, I, I, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE, UM, HAS BEEN A RELUCTANCE TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE ARE WAY, UH, THE CITY HAS WAY, WAY MORE NEEDS THAT WE CAN EVER FUND. 
          SO I SAY THIS BECAUSE, UH, AS WE ARE EVEN MAKING DECISIONS HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE 1.3 MILLION FOR ALLEYS, UM, THERE ARE SOME OF US THAT KNOW THAT WE NEED MORE FUNDING FOR THAT, BUT HOW CAN WE DETERMINE HOW MUCH IS APPROPRIATE IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE EXTENT OF THE NEED IS FOR ALLEYS? WHICH SEEMS LIKE A DROP IN THE BUCKET. 
          AND EVEN AS WE DISCUSS, UM, THE VISION ZERO AND THE NUMBER OF FATALITIES WE'VE HAD IN OUR DISTRICT, THAT'S BEEN SOMEWHAT CONSISTENT OVER THE LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS, EVEN AS WE'VE DRAWN MORE ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE, BUT ACTUALLY HAVE SPENT VERY LITTLE, UH, TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF FATALITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, EVEN WHAT'S PRESENTED HERE IS ABOUT 1% OF OUR STREETS BUDGET GOES TO ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF FATALITIES. 
          AND IN FACT, STILL WONDERING WHY ARE WE NOT DEDICATING MORE FUNDS TO THE MOST DANGEROUS STREETS IN OUR CITY, WHICH WE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. 
          UM, IT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO US MANY TIMES WHAT THE MOST DANGEROUS STREETS ARE. 
          WE KNOW IT'S CULEBRA, FREDERICKSBURG, , UH, AUSTIN HIGHWAY AND BROADWAY. 
          IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, COMMERCE IS ANOTHER ONE. 
          GENTLEMAN, MCMULLEN. 
          I KNOW THEM VERY MUCH OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHAT OUR MAJ MOST DANGEROUS STREETS ARE IN MY DISTRICT. 
          BUT PERHAPS, UM, YOU KNOW, MY COLLEAGUES KNOW WHICH ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS IN THEIRS, NOT JUST ON PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES AND CYCLISTS, BUT AUTOMOBILE COLLISIONS, UH, BECAUSE THAT IS PART OF VISION ZERO AS WELL, IS REDUCING FATALITIES IN EVERY MODE. 
          AND SO I I, YEAH, WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR A LOT OF YEARS NOW, AND WE'VE SEEN THIS PRESENTATION ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME. 
          THE NUMBERS HAVE CHANGED, BUT THE ALLOCATION OF, UH, FUNDS IS NOT THAT DIFFERENT. 
          UM, MOST OF IT GOES TO STREET MAINTENANCE PER THE DIRECTION OF OUR CONSTITUENCY, BUT, UM, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE JUST A BROADER SCOPE OF THE NEED OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          I THINK IT CAN HELP US MAKE MUCH MORE INFORMED DECISIONS AS WE ADDRESS THINGS LIKE THE CLIMATE ACTION, TRANSPORTATION, THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS, UH, I THINK WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO SEE AT SOME POINT, UH, AS WE, UM, MAKE THESE DECISIONS. 
          SO WITH THAT, I, I DO HAVE A, SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THE STORM WATER. 
          AND I THINK RAZZIE, UM, THE WAY THAT IT'S PRESENTED HERE IS VERY UNCLEAR. 
          UH, THE WAY THAT OUR STORMWATER IS, UM, IS WHAT THE FUNDING IS FOR STORMWATER. 
          'CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OF ITS CAPITAL, SOME OF IT'S MAINTENANCE, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE GRAPH AND THEN LOTS OF BACKUP. 
          BUT NONE OF THEM SEEM TO CORRELATE WITH THE GRAPH THAT I'M SEEING HERE REGARDING STORMWATER OPERATION FUND WITH THE 55 MILLION. 
          SO THE GRAPH REPRESENTS THE 55 MILLION, BUT THEN THE NEXT PAGE TALKS ABOUT THE STORMWATER UTILITY, WHICH LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THAT'S CAPITAL REGIONAL FACILITIES. 
          COULD YOU PLEASE, UH, TALK ABOUT THIS? AGAIN, I, I, I'M, I'M NOT, THIS WAS VERY UNCLEAR TO ME. 
          THE 55.6 MILLION FOR STORMWATER OPERATING FUND IS A REVENUE GENERATED BY MONTHLY STORMWATER UTILITY FEE RESTRICTED USE 
          [05:25:01]
FOR FLOOD MITIGATION WORK, STORMWATER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE, WHICH IS 47.4 MILLION FOR OPERATING AND 7.9 MILLION FOR CAPITAL, WHICH WE ARE GOING TO DESIGN AND BUILD SIX PROJECT TOTAL 53.3. 
          AND OF COURSE, YOU SEE THE POSITION 277 POSITION. 
          SO THE STORM STORMWATER FUND, THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR STORMWATER IS 55 MILLION. 
          THAT'S FOR OUR ANNUAL ONGOING FOR THE 2020 BUDGET, 55 MILLION. 
          SO THE REST IS CAPITAL THAT WAS PART OF THE BOND, OR THE REST IS, HOW IS THE REST? NO, 55.3 ALSO INCLUDES 7.9 FOR CAPITAL. 
          THIS IS NOT BOND FUNDED PROJECT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WHAT ABOUT THE REGIONAL FACILITIES FUND THAT ALSO GENERATE OTHER PROJECTS? 7.9 MILLION, WHICH WE HAVE THIS ONE ON SLIDE 26. 
          THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED FOR, UH, FROM STORMWATER REGIONAL FUND. 
          RAZZI, WHY DON'T YOU, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A STEP BACK AND OR NEFI, UH, DESCRIBE HOW THE STORMWATER UTILITY FUND IS FUNDED. 
          AND THEN I GUESS THAT EVEN GOING TO MY POINT IS THAT IF WE KNOW WE HAVE OVER 200, OVER $2 BILLION OF NEED, THEN HOW MUCH OR IS THAT BEING ACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR ANNUAL BUDGET AND HOW MUCH OF IT IS CAPITAL? AND THEN IS THERE ANY REAL ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THE NEED, UH, LONG-TERM? THANK YOU FOR THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          COUNCILWOMAN, UH, STORMWATER STORMWATER'S FUNDED OUTTA TWO FUNDS. 
          THE FIRST ONE BEING STORMWATER UTILITY. 
          AND THE STORMWATER UTILITY RATE IS A FEE THAT IS ASSESSED TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS. 
          AND THEY LOOK, AND IT'S, AND IT LOOKS AT, IN THE AMOUNT OF IMPERVIOUS COVER IN EACH LOT, GENERALLY, WE, WE USE THAT FUND, UH, FOR MAINTENANCE, AND THAT INCLUDES MOWING. 
          THAT INCLUDES, UH, CREEK MAINTENANCE, THAT INCLUDES STREET SWEEPING. 
          WE GENERALLY RESERVE A SMALL PORTION, A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THAT TO CAPITAL PROJECTS. 
          AND THOSE CAP, THOSE PROJECTS GENERALLY TEND TO BE ABOUT MAINTENANCE. 
          SO IF THERE'S A, UM, MAYBE A STORM DRAIN SYSTEM THAT HAS, THAT HAS AGED AND IS FAILING, WE CAN GO IN THERE AND DO SOME OF THOSE REPAIRS. 
          UH, SOME CAPITAL TYPE OF WORK. 
          WE ALSO HAVE A STORMWATER REGIONAL FUND, AND THAT'S, THAT IS A FUND THAT IS ASSESSED TO NEW DEVELOPMENT. 
          WHEN NEW DEVELOPMENT CAN PROVE THAT THEY'RE NOT MAKING FLOODING WORSE ON ANYBODY, THEN THEY'RE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE INTO THE REGIONAL FUND. 
          THAT MONEY IS USED, AND WE GENERALLY COLLECT THAT MONEY TO DO LARGE CAPITAL PROJECTS. 
          THIS IS OUTSIDE OF THE, OF THE BOND PROJECTS. 
          THESE ARE PROJECTS SUCH AS, UH, ONE PROJECT IN YOUR COUNCIL DISTRICT IS CONCEPTION CREEK. 
          THAT IS, UH, THAT IS GETTING FUNDED STRICTLY OUT OF THE STORMWATER REGIONAL FUND, WHICH MONEY THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED FROM DEVELOPMENT THAT IS GOING TOWARDS THAT. 
          SO WE USE BOTH OF THOSE FUNDS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE ISSUES. 
          NOW, GENERALLY WHAT WE DO, WE HAVE A MASTER PLAN THAT WE, WE KEEP THIS MASTER PLAN, WE UPDATE THAT WHEN WE GO OUT TO NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITIES TO TALK ABOUT WHAT ARE THE FLOODING ISSUES. 
          WE GET FEEDBACK FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, FROM THE COMMUNITY, WE IDENTIFY THOSE AREAS. 
          WE COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO DO THAT, AND WE PUT IT ON THE MASTER PLAN. 
          THE MASTER PLAN THEN, AND OUR ENGINEERS SPEND THE TIME TO BEGIN IDENTIFYING WHAT'S THE LOGICAL PROCESS TO DO IT. 
          I DON'T WANNA BUILD A PROJECT UPSTREAM THAT THEN PUSHES THE FLOOD PROBLEM DOWNSTREAM. 
          SO I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY THAT I CAN BEGIN WORKING FROM THE OUTFALL AND WORKING MY WAY UPSTREAM. 
          IF I COULD USE CONCEPTION CREEK AS AN EXAMPLE, THE WORK THAT ACTUALLY BEGAN IN CONCEPTION CREEK ACTUALLY BEGINS IN COUNCIL DISTRICT THREE, UH, IN, ON THE SAN ANTONIO RIVER. 
          AND WE BE, WE BEGAN WITH AN OUTFALL, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT OUTFALL. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GO INTO PHASE ONE THAT GOES INTO IN YOUR COUNCIL DISTRICT AND THEN MOVE OUR WAY UP. 
          IT IS THAT, AND THAT, THAT WAS FUNDED BY THIS? YES, MA'AM. 
          ONE CAN, CAN THEY, CAN THEY BE FUNDED BY ANY PARTICULAR FUND, OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS ONE IN LIEU OF THE REGIONAL FUND HAS CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE TYPE OF PROJECTS. 
          SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CONCEPTION CREEK HAS A DRAINAGE AREA GREATER THAN ONE SQUARE MILE, AND IT IMPACTS A, A, A LARGER REGION. 
          SO GENERALLY, THE REGIONAL FUND LOOKS AT LARGE SCALE TYPE OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE 
          [05:30:01]
MULTIPLE BENEFITS. 
          UH, THE STORMWATER UTILITY TO CONTRAST THAT, THE STORMWATER UTILITY, YOU'RE NEVER, YOU'RE USUALLY GONNA FIND CURB AND GUTTER TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT, THAT NEED TO GET MORE OF THE DRAINAGE INSTEAD OF FLOOD CONTROL. 
          SO LOOK AT IT, STORMWATER UTILITY IS MORE OF THE LOCALIZED DRAINAGE. 
          REGIONAL IS MORE OF THE FLOOD CONTROL, LARGER, LARGER SCALE. 
          UH, I THINK THAT THAT HELPS, UM, UH, A LITTLE BIT, UH, AS WE'RE, UM, WORKING THROUGH THIS BUDGET. 
          AND THEN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. 
          SO THERE'S A TOTAL OF 84 MILLION FOR DRAINAGE, AND THAT'S THE, THAT WOULD BE THE 55 MILLION PLUS THE 7.9 MILLION PLUS 10.8 MILLION PLUS 9 MILLION. 
          IS THAT WHERE WE'RE GETTING THAT TOTAL 84 MILLION IN DRAINAGE? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UM, UH, AND YET WE HAVE A $2 BILLION NEED, UH, THAT WE KNOW OF. 
          AND SO, UH, I I, I SAY THIS, UM, SO THAT AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD, MAKING PLANS FOR OUR CITY, UM, THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE WAY BEYOND WHAT WE CAN CURRENTLY AFFORD AND WE CAN SUSTAIN, UM, WE KNOW THAT WE ARE TRYING TO PLAN A CITY THAT WILL LAST ANOTHER 50 YEARS, AND THE NEEDS ARE WAY BEYOND WHAT WE CAN EVER PAY FOR, UH, TODAY OR ANYTIME IN THE FUTURE. 
          SO WE NEED TO KEEP THAT IN MIND, UM, AS WE DO OUR FUTURE PLANNING. 
          SO, UH, THE SORT OF BIG PICTURE, UH, BUT JUST GOING BACK TO THE, UM, SMALLER PICTURE, I'LL GO BACK DOWN TO THE STREET LEVEL AND, UH, BACK TO JUST A FEW CONCERNS THAT I HAVE FOR, UM, OUR, UH, THIS PARTICULAR PRESENTATION. 
          UM, ACTUALLY I'M LOOKING HERE AND IT THINK, SEEMS LIKE I ASKED MOST OF THE QUESTIONS, UM, THAT WE HAD COUNCILWOMAN THAT 84 MILLION FOR DRAINAGE, THAT'S ONLY FOR 2020. 
          WE HAVE MORE FUNDED DRAINAGE PROJECT IS GOING TO BE COMING. 
          2021 AND 2022. 
          THIS IS ONLY FOR 2020. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, ROSSI. 
          UM, AND I THINK THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE, UM, ABOUT THE, UM, FUNDING. 
          UH, I WOULD LIKE TO GET, UM, MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE ALLEYS AND THE BREAKDOWN OF HOW, WHAT IS THE NEED OF THE ALLEYS SO THAT WE CAN, I THINK, ADDRESS THAT ISSUE ACCORDINGLY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND THE REST OF THE SMALLER QUESTIONS JUST REGARDING, YOU KNOW, BICYCLE MOBILITY, I MEAN, OR I THINK, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS WE COULD CHANGE THE NAME TO MICRO MOBILITY FACILITIES. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE NOT ADDED MUCH CAPACITY OVER THE YEARS, UH, TO THAT. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THE 2.1 0.2 MILLION, UH, FOR THE MASTER PLAN COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO IMPLEMENT ON STREET FACILITIES. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WAS ALSO DEBATABLE. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE ACTUAL WORK ON THE STREET AND LESS GOING INTO PLANNING, UH, LIKE THIS. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER GONZALEZ, COUNCIL MEMBER ZALES, COUNCIL MEMBER TURINO. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          AND, UH, THANK YOU ZY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK, I THINK THIS BUDGET IS, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S THE ONE THING THAT I THINK REALLY, TRULY, UM, MAKES SUCH AN IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF EVERYBODY IN OUR CITY, IN, IN, IN, IN SUCH A, SUCH AN IMPORTANT WAY. 
          I MEAN, NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, I MEAN, THIS IS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE IMPACT OF T C I IS IN OUR CITY. 
          SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO, TO EVERYBODY THAT WORKS AT, UH, TRANSPORTATION AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. 
          UH, WE KNOW YOU WORK LONG HOURS, YOU WORK VERY HARD TO RESOLVE VERY COMPLEX ISSUES, AND THERE'S NO, THERE ISN'T A ONE SIZE FITS ALL. 
          BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE THERE TO, TO HELP US KIND OF EXAMINE THIS AND TRY SOME NEW THINGS OUT. 
          UM, AND SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE, UH, THE SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM, UM, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE COMPLEXITY HERE THAT I THINK IS IT'S, WE'RE JUST SORT OF, YOU KNOW, AT THE, AT THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG ON THIS, UM, I WANNA POINT OUT THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE PILOTED THIS PROGRAM TO, TO REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT, UH, HOW WE CAN BUILD MORE SIDEWALK WITH LESS, UH, OF, OF OUR DOLLARS. 
          AND SO, UM, THE ISSUE IS THAT, THAT, UH, WE DON'T HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES TO COVER SO MUCH NEED. 
          AND DEPENDING ON 
          [05:35:01]
WHICH, UH, DISTRICT YOU LIVE IN, UH, YOU, YOU HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS. 
          AND OF COURSE, DISTRICT ONE BEING CLOSER TO THE INNER CITY, THE OLDEST PART OF THE CITY, UH, WE HAVE OLDER INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, AT THE HEART OF THAT IS, IS FINDING DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES THAT CAN WORK. 
          AND SO WHAT WE PROVE WITH THE PILOT PROGRAM IS THAT WE CAN DRIVE DOWN THE COSTS OF HOW WE BUILD MORE SIDEWALK IN OUR CITY WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, UH, WHILE INCREASING THE, THE, THE, THE IMPACT. 
          AND, UH, BUT AT THE HEART OF THAT, I KNOW THAT WE'VE ALSO SORT OF BEEN HAMSTRUNG WITH UDC 29 11. 
          SO THIS PROGRAM CANNOT JUST STAND ON ITS OWN. 
          UH, I'M TELLING MY, I'M ASKING MY COLLEAGUES TO BE AWARE THAT, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO, UH, HANDLE IS, IS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE, UH, WE'RE DEALING WITH, UH, ISSUES LIKE POLICY THAT, THAT KEEP US FROM BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING SIDEWALKS, RIGHT? IN THIS CASE, U D C 29 11 ESSENTIALLY SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S NOT THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY. 
          AND SO THIS IS WHAT THAT'S ABOUT. 
          IT'S BASICALLY THIS, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, WE'RE REPAIRING SIDEWALKS BECAUSE WE SHOULD. 
          AND, UH, THIS PROGRAM, I THINK IS LAYING IT OUT IN, IN, IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. 
          UM, IT'S, IT'S FIXING SIDEWALKS IN OLD NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          IT'S BRINGING BACK MILES AND MILES OF SIDEWALK BACK, BACK INTO, UH, GOOD USE. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK OF, AS I MENTIONED, IT'S, IT'S CONNECTED TO A MUCH BIGGER PICTURE, BIGGER PUZZLE. 
          AND, UH, T C I AND TRYING TO SORT OF ADDRESS THE SIDEWALK GAP, MILES HAS ALSO HAD TO SORT OF BALANCE THE, THIS APPROACH THAT WE'VE HAD WITH OUR U D C, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO CHANGE. 
          WE SIMPLY NEED TO, UH, CHANGE THAT LANGUAGE. 
          29 AND 11. 
          AND IT'S ALSO IN OUR CHARTER CHAPTER THREE, UH, AND YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. 
          THE ISSUE IS ABOUT MAINTENANCE, RIGHT? IT'S NOT ABOUT CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS. 
          AND SO WHEN WE FORCE, UH, LET'S SAY AN ELDERLY PERSON WHO'S BEEN LIVING IN THEIR HOME FOR 40 YEARS, UH, TO FIX A SIDEWALK, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE MORE THAN LIKELY NOT GONNA BE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT, ESPECIALLY IN AN OLDER, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, IN, IN AN, IN AN AREA WHERE, WHERE, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S NOT AS, UH, MAYBE IT'S MORE IMPOVERISHED THAN OTHER AREAS OF, OF OUR CITY. 
          AND SIDEWALKS ARE SO IMPORTANT, THEY'RE SO IMPORTANT TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO THEIR COMMUNITY. 
          AND IF WE CAN'T DO THAT, THEN WE REALLY GOT A PROBLEM, RIGHT? SO, MY CHALLENGE TO T C I HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT, YOU KNOW, I, I CHARGE YOU GUYS WITH WHAT I THINK IS, IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF HOW WE AS A CITY TRULY IMPACT THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF EVERY RESIDENT IN OUR CITY. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. 
          THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE REALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OUTCOMES, WE CAN SIT HERE AND TALK ABOUT DATA AND P S I AND COST PER SQUARE FOOT, I'M JUST GONNA PUT IT LIKE THAT. 
          YOUR JOB IS TO HELP US IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF EVERYBODY IN THE CITY, WHETHER IT'S A STREET, A SIDEWALK, DRAINAGE, PROJECTS, LIGHTING, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT. 
          HOW IS THIS PROJECT HELPING OUR RESIDENTS? SIMPLE AS THAT. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, OUR CHALLENGES IS REALLY THAT WE'RE LIMITED WITH THOSE FUNDS. 
          AND, AND THAT, THAT LIMITATION, THAT LIMITATION OF RESOURCES MEANS THAT WE GOTTA BE INNOVATIVE. 
          WE'VE GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, AND WE ALSO GOTTA THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE SORT OF HOLDING US DOWN OR ANCHORING US, UH, YOU KNOW, OR KEEPING US FROM, FROM BEING ABLE TO DO MORE MILEAGE. 
          AND, AND AS YOU SAID, RAZZI, I MEAN, I'M TRULY, UH, HAPPY TO HAVE WORKED WITH YOU GUYS ON THIS PROGRAM THAT I THINK IS, IS GONNA HELP IN ADDITION TO THE SIDEWALK GAPS THAT WE'RE OBVIOUSLY LOOKING AT, UH, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE, WE'RE SHOWING THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY BROUGHT DOWN THE COST OF SIDEWALKS DOWN TO BELOW MARKET RATE, UH, AS OPPOSED TO AT LEAST WHAT THE AUDIT SHOWED, WHICH WAS, YOU KNOW, SEVEN, EIGHT TIMES MORE THE MARKET RATE. 
          AND, UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, I, I'LL, I'LL KEEP BEATING, BEATING ON THAT DRUM. 
          UH, I KNOW THE PROGRAM IS, IS, IS SAYING IT'S, UH, WHAT IS IT, 500, 6,000, UH, DOLLARS? UM, YOU KNOW, LOOK, I'M GLAD THAT, THAT WE'RE STARTING IT. 
          I'M OBVIOUSLY, I DO. 
          WE NEED MORE MONEY IN THERE. 
          YES. 
          SO I'LL ASK YOU IF YOU CAN FIND MORE MONEY. 
          I, I, I WILL BET THAT THERE'S GONNA BE, UH, RESIDENTS IN EVERY DISTRICT THAT ARE GONNA SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? I WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM. 
          AND, UH, AND SO THE, THE MORE WE CAN GROW THAT POT, THE BETTER. 
          BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT WE'RE STARTING AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE START SOMETHING NEW, START SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE, THERE'S, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO KIND OF WORK OUT THE KINKS, TRYING TO FIGURE 
          [05:40:01]
THINGS OUT. 
          UH, SO, SO I'LL, I'LL DEFINITELY, I'LL BE PATIENT. 
          UH, BUT, YOU KNOW, I WANT US ALL TO, TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND SORT OF THAT URGENCY. 
          THIS IS, AGAIN, THIS IS KIND OF WHY WE PUSH THESE THINGS. 
          AND WHEN IT COMES TO INFRASTRUCTURE, THIS IS EXACTLY, UH, YOU KNOW, WHY WE NEED TO SET THE EXAMPLE FOR, FOR, FOR THE REST OF, UH, OF THE CITY AND WHY THIS IS CONNECTED TO A MUCH BIGGER PICTURE IN TERMS OF OTHER KINDS OF PROJECTS, RIGHT? IF WE CAN BE EFFICIENT WITH THE WAY WE, WE BUILD OUR SIDEWALKS AND, AND THE WAY WE'RE LISTENING TO OUR COMMUNITY, THEN WE'RE, WE'RE TRULY, UH, MAKING AN IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF EVERYONE IN OUR CITY. 
          SO, UM, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          YOU KNOW, RAZZI, I AND ANTHONY AND ART, AND EVERYBODY, UH, YOU KNOW, I, I MEET WITH YOU GUYS ALL THE TIME, SO I, MY QUESTIONS ARE, UH, EVERY TIME WE MEET, SO I, I'LL, I'LL RESERVE THAT AND JUST SIMPLY SAY, UH, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I SUPPORT THIS BUDGET AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO SORT OF, UM, YOU KNOW, REMOVE, REMOVE THOSE ANCHORS THAT, THAT ARE HOLDING YOU BACK TO, TO GET THINGS DONE. 
          YOU KNOW, PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW, HOW I CAN BE, HOW WE, HOW WE CAN PARTNER. 
          AND, UH, I LOOK FORWARD TO, TO THE REPORTS ON, ON THE SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER TREVINO. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          A LOT OF DETAIL AND DATA HERE, ROZZIE, THAT'S, THIS IS GREAT. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANKS FOR PUTTING ALL THIS TOGETHER. 
          UH, JUST WANT TO, UH, START HERE ON THE, THIS BIG THICK BOOK HERE, THE BUDGET BOOK HERE. 
          UM, IT SAYS THE, UM, ON PAGE 141, IT SAYS THAT OUR BUDGETED TWO FOR T C I BUDGETED AMOUNT WAS 129,929,595. 
          AND THEN THE ESTIMATED 2019 IS A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN THAT. 
          AND WE'RE SAYING WE'RE KEEPING THE, UH, AMOUNT THE SAME THIS YEAR AS LAST YEAR, BUT I'M SHOWING, UH, THE PROPOSED 2020 IS 113 MILLION VERSUS 129 MILLION. 
          WHAT, WHERE'S THE DIFFERENCE HERE, COUNCILMAN? THE DIFFERENCE IN THE OPERATING, UH, BUDGET HAS TO DO WITH OUR STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM LAST YEAR, AS PART OF OUR, UH, FIVE YEAR, SIX YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET PROGRAM, WE ARE FUNDING A PORTION OF THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM WITH GENERAL FUND AND A PORTION WITH A CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          SO CONSISTENT WITH THAT SIX YEAR PLAN THAT WE, UH, INTRODUCED LAST YEAR, THIS YEAR IN THE GENERAL FUND, WE'RE FUNDING ROUGHLY ABOUT $40 MILLION OF THE ONE 10. 
          AND THE BALANCE IS COMING OUT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          LAST YEAR IN 2019, THE, UM, ALLOCATION FROM THE GENERAL FUND WAS HIGHER, $17 MILLION HIGHER, AND THE CAPITAL BUDGET WAS LOWER. 
          SO THAT IS THE, THE DIFFERENCE THAT YOU SEE ON THAT, UM, PAGE OF THE BUDGET DOCUMENT. 
          BUT THE OVERALL IS LOWER GOING FOR 2020 THAN IT WAS FOR 2019. 
          IT IS IN THE GENERAL FUND, BUT WHEN YOU COMBINE THE, THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM THAT IS FUNDED IN THE GENERAL FUND IN THE CAPITAL IS $110 MILLION, WHICH IS THE SAME AS, UH, 2019. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME AND EXPLAIN THAT TO ME, BECAUSE SURE. 
          I'M HAPPY TO, I'M LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENT AND IT SAYS 129 MILLION FOR 2019 AND 113 MILLION IN 2020. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THAT DIFFERENCE IS WHAT WAS INCREASED IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          SO I, I'LL BE HAPPY TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU AND, AND SHOW YOU THE CAPITAL PORTION OF THIS STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM THAT WENT UP BY THE AMOUNT THAT THE GENERAL FUND WENT DOWN. 
          OKAY. 
          YES. 
          I'D LIKE TO LIKE TO SEE THAT. 
          SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, RAZZI, UM, ON, LET'S SEE. 
          WELL, LET'S JUST GO TO SLIDE THREE. 
          LET'S START WITH SLIDE THREE HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          I SEE A DECREASE IN GRANTS. 
          WHAT, WHY IS THERE A DECREASE IN GRANTS? COUNCILMAN IN, I BELIEVE MARCH THE COUNCIL ADOPTED AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT A C M A C GRANT. 
          SO THAT IS THE INCREASE THAT IS OUR, THE CITY'S MATCH FOR THAT GRANT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THIS IS JUST A MATCH. 
          IT'S OKAY. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          THAT'S THE, I'M SORRY. 
          THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE GETTING FOR THE GRANT IN 2020. 
          OKAY. 
          [05:45:01]
AND I'M, UH, RAZZI, I'M GONNA LOOK AT THIS ALSO ON THE OPERATING BUDGET HERE ABOUT THE EFFICIENCIES. 
          YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING UP BY ABOUT, UH, $5 MILLION AND 12 POSITIONS. 
          AND WHERE ARE THOSE 12 POSITIONS GOING? THREE OF THEM IS GOING FOR THE BIKE TO MANAGE OUR BIKE MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION FOR THREE DIFFERENT AREA IN CITY. 
          TWO OF THEM IS GOING TO GO FOR OUR, UH, STORMWATER ENGINEERING. 
          WE HAVE NUMBER OF THE PROJECT FUNDED THROUGH THE FEE IN LAW OR OPERATION FEE. 
          WE CHARGE PROPERTY ANNUALLY EVERY MONTH TO MANAGE THOSE PROJECT. 
          AND SEVEN CREW MEMBER IS GOING TO GO FOR THE SIDEWALK REPAIR. 
          BASICALLY, THERE'S A PILOT PROGRAM TO DO THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          OKAY. 
          WHICH IS COST OF A LITTLE OVER HALF A MILLION. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, IT'S GONNA TAKE THREE PEOPLE TO PUT A PLAN TOGETHER FOR THE BIKE. 
          IT'LL DO MUCH, MUCH MORE THAN THE PLAN TO TOGETHER. 
          AND WHAT IS THAT? MUCH, MUCH MORE COUNCILMAN? UH, I'LL, WHILE, WHILE RAZZI ISS LOOKING FOR THAT ART'S COMING UP, THE IDEA IS THAT THE IDEA IS THAT, UH, WE HAVE DEDICATED STAFF, UH, THAT ARE FOCUSED ON MICRO MOBILITY AND THE ISSUES THAT, UH, SEVERAL OF YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO IN COUNCILWOMAN GONZALEZ TO NOT ONLY DO, UM, THE, UH, PLANNING, BUT ALSO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MICRO MOBILITY LANES AND, AND HAVING A DEDICATED UNIT TO DO THAT. 
          BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A PLAN, AN OVERALL PLAN, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? WELL, THERE'S A PORTIONS OF THE PLAN AND ART CAN TALK ABOUT THE PORTIONS THEY'RE LOOKING AT. 
          I'M MORE INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY FOCUSED ON NOT JUST THE PLANNING, BUT THE ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECTS. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          COUNCILMAN, JUST, JUST TO ADD ONTO THAT. 
          SO THROUGH THE PROCESS, UH, IT'S GONNA BE A TWOFOLD PROCESS. 
          ONE COMPONENT WILL BE KIND OF THE POLICY OVERARCHING, LIKE A CITYWIDE COMPONENT, BUT THEN, UM, IN AN EFFORT TO IMPLEMENT QUICKER, WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON THE DOWNTOWN AND MIDTOWN REGIONAL CENTERS. 
          AND SO PART OF THE, THE STAFF THAT, UH, IS BEING ADDED WITH THIS BUDGET, WE'LL COMPLIMENT THE WORK OF THE PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY OFFICER, REALLY CREATING THAT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION TEAM. 
          AND THEY'LL FOCUS WHILE WE'RE DOING THE OVERALL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS. 
          ALSO, UH, DETERMINING AND IDENTIFYING PROJECTS TO IMPLEMENT IN THE DOWNTOWN AND MIDTOWN CENTER. 
          AND THEN IN YEARS IN THE FUTURE, WE'LL BE EXPANDING OUTWARD. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, SO THIS IS MORE THAN THREE. 
          WE'RE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT FOUR. 
          'CAUSE WE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT, UH, WE'LL BE ADDING, SO WE'RE ADDING THREE POSITIONS TO COMPLEMENT THE EXISTING TEAM THAT WE HAVE. 
          OKAY. 
          HOW, BUT DIDN'T WE JUST HIRE SOMEBODY TO DO THE BIKE PATHS AND ALL THAT STUFF? AN INDIVIDUAL TO OVERSEE THAT ONE PERSON WAS PROVIDED IN THE, THE PAST YEAR. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY ONE PERSON CAN'T DO EVERYTHING. 
          SO THIS TEAM WILL AUGMENT THAT REALLY FOCUSING ON ALL ASPECTS OF, OF ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION. 
          SO FOUR PEOPLE NOW TO LOOK AT THIS? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          YES. 
          AND, AND, AND THE PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY OFFICER ALSO, UH, THAT, THAT RESPONSIBILITY THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL HAS IS ALSO UNDER OUR SIDEWALK PROGRAM. 
          UM, AND, AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED ARE CONSISTENT WITH OUR WALKABILITY, THAT WE'RE DOING THEM SMARTER, UH, AND MORE EFFICIENTLY. 
          COUNCILMAN, WE HAVE OVER 400 MILLION STREET PART OF 2017 BOND PROGRAM. 
          THIS INDIVIDUAL HELPING OUR DESIGN TEAM TO LOOK WHICH OF THOSE ROADWAY CAN WE INCLUDE? SAFE BIKE PATH. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING FOR 2020, OVER 1300 STREET MAINTENANCE PROJECT. 
          THIS INDIVIDUAL WILL HELP US TO SEE WHICH OF THOSE STREET ALSO WE CAN IMPLEMENT SAFE BIKE LANES. 
          YEAH. 
          I'M JUST HAVING A HARD TIME VISUALIZING FOUR PEOPLE TO DO THIS, BUT, OKAY. 
          UM, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE P C I SCORES HERE. 
          RAZZI ON SLIDE. 
          UH, WHAT IS THAT? NINE? YEAH. 
          UM, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS SLIDE TOGETHER. 
          I THINK IT TELLS A GOOD STORY, UH, THAT OUR P C I SCORE IS RISING. 
          HOWEVER, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE INCREMENT THAT IT'S RISING BETWEEN 2016 AND 17, THAT WAS AT 64 MIL. 
          $64 MILLION PER YEAR. 
          BUT THE P C I SCORE WENT UP A WHOLE PERCENT. 
          AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING YEARS, THERE'S HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY ADDED TO THAT PROGRAM. 
          AND IT 
          [05:50:01]
WAS STILL THAT 1% INCLINE ON THE LINE. 
          SO SHOULDN'T WE BE GETTING A BIGGER BANG FOR OUR BUCK ON THAT? UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRIPLING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY GOING INTO IT, BUT WE'RE ONLY RAISING THAT P C I SCORE 1%. 
          I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT ALL AT $64 MILLION A YEAR AND STILL GOTTEN THAT 1% INCREASE. 
          COUNCILMAN, WHEN WE DID $64 MILLION S M P FUND, WE DID ONLY STREET MAINTENANCE. 
          WE DIDN'T BUILD MUCH OF WHEELCHAIR RAMP. 
          WE DIDN'T BUILD ANY SIDEWALK AS, AND ALSO WE WENT MOST OF THE TIME ON THOSE STREET, THEY ARE IN PROBABLY FAIR CONDITION. 
          WE NEVER REALLY DID DO F STREET OR STREET IS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE. 
          AS OUR FUNDING INCREASED, WE END UP DOING MORE THAN JUST S WALL WORK. 
          WE ARE BUILDING WHEELCHAIR RAMP, WE ARE BUILDING SIDEWALK ON A CERTAIN PROJECT, AND ALSO WE ARE BUILDING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT F STREET. 
          OKAY, BETWEEN 2018 AND 19, WE ARE BUILDING 54 MILE OF F STREET, WHICH WE DID NOT DO WHEN WE HAD $64 MILLION FUNDING. 
          WELL, I, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THIS STATISTIC HERE, AND IT'S NOT TELLING ME A VERY GOOD STORY THAT I'M TRIPLING THE AMOUNT OF OR DOUBLING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY GOING IN, BUT I'M GETTING THE SAME INCREASE IN THE P C I SCORE ACROSS THE CITY. 
          AND IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU'RE NOT SPENDING IT ALL ON BLACKTOP OR THE ROADS, THEN BREAK THAT MONEY OUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO SHOW IS HOW ARE WE IMPROVING OUR P C I SCORE WITH THE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT THAT'S GOING INTO THE, INTO THE STREETS. 
          SO IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT THOSE DOLLAR FIGURES DON'T REPRESENT EVERYTHING GOING TO THE STREETS, THEN PULL THAT MONEY OUT AND LET'S IDENTIFY THAT AS A DIFFERENT PROGRAM. 
          BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THIS IS NOT SHOWING ME THE GOOD STORY. 
          I WAS HOPING THAT, YOU KNOW, I WOULD'VE KEPT THAT FUNDING LEVEL AT 64 MILLION, UH, THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND STILL GOT THAT INCREASE IN P C I SCORE. 
          DO YOU SEE WHERE I'M COMING FROM ON THAT? OKAY. 
          UM, LET'S, LET'S SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT THAT SOME MORE. 
          'CAUSE I THINK WE'RE MISSING SOMETHING HERE, OR AT LEAST I AM. 
          UM, BUT TO YOUR POINT ABOUT DOING MORE F STREETS, EVEN DOING THE F STREETS, THAT'S GONNA INCREASE YOUR P C I SCORE ACROSS, ACROSS THE CITY. 
          SO EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE SPENDING MORE MONEY FOR THOSE F STREETS, IT'S STILL GOING TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A COMMENSURATE AMOUNT OF IMPROVEMENTS ON YOUR P C I SCORE. 
          THAT'S TRUE. 
          BUT COST OF F STREET IS MUCH, MUCH SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN WHEN WE DO GRADE B OR C STREETS. 
          OKAY? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          ALRIGHT. 
          UM, LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE HERE. 
          I, SO I'D LIKE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          UM, THE NON-SERVICE HOUR REPAIRS, THAT'S ACROSS THE CITY, 1.3 MILLION, NOT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          WHERE IS THAT FOR? IT'S GOING TO BE IN COUNCIL DISTRICT 1, 3, 7 AND, AND SEVEN. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          1, 3, 5, AND SEVEN. 
          OKAY. 
          ARE YOU SAYING THE OTHER DISTRICTS DON'T HAVE, THIS IS THE ONES WE HAVE RECEIVED, THE THREE ONE ONE CALL AND ALSO REQUEST FROM COUNCIL'S OFFICE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, YEAH, I, I KNOW I HAVE SOME AREAS THERE IN DISTRICT 10 ALSO. 
          UH, I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT'S GETTING OVERLOOKED. 
          UH, BUT ALLEY MAINTENANCE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS. 
          SO I'D LIKE TO GET TOGETHER ON THAT ALSO TO SEE WHERE I'M MISSING THE BOAT HERE ON, ON THAT ONE. 
          AND, AND YOU SAY TO, UH, WASTE TRASH COLLECTION SERVICES. 
          AND I THINK I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO GET TOGETHER WITH DAVID, UH, ON THAT, BECAUSE LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF, I HAVE A STREET WITH HOUSES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. 
          ONE SIDE OF THE STREET HAS STREET COLLECTION SERVICES. 
          THAT MEANS AN AUTOMATED TRUCK PICKING UP THE TRASH, WHICH IS GREAT. 
          BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, THEY HAVE AN ALLEY IN BETWEEN WHERE THEY PUT THEIR TRASH. 
          AND YOU HAVE TO USE MAN CREWS TO PICK THAT UP. 
          YOU CAN'T TAKE AN AUTOMATED TRUCK. 
          AND THE STREET, THE, THE ALLEYS ARE VERY CONGESTED, SMALL OVERGROWN, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRUCKS. 
          AND PLUS YOU'RE HAVING TO USE PEOPLE TO HOIST THE TRASH ON THE TRUCKS. 
          [05:55:01]
WHY IS IT THAT WE, WE HAVE THAT SYSTEM. 
          WHY CAN'T THOSE PEOPLE ACROSS THE STREET BRING THEIR TRASH OUT TO THE STREET AND GET AWAY FROM THAT ALLEY MAINTENANCE AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF THAT, UH, WE HAVE TO KEEP OPEN FOR THAT TRASH COLLECTION. 
          COUNCILMAN? WHAT, WHAT THE, WHERE DOES THIS EXIST AT? UH, THAT EXISTS IN, IN MACARTHUR PARK BEHIND, UH, RIGHT BEHIND THE CATHOLIC LIFE BUILDING? YEAH, WE'LL, WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH DAVID MCCARRY AND HIS TEAM. 
          UM, WHEN, WHEN THE CITY WENT TO AUTOMATED COLLECTION, THERE WERE A HANDFUL OF NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT WANTED TO KEEP THE, THE, THE COLLECTION IN THE ALLEYS. 
          UM, AND, AND SO WE'VE BEEN AUTOMATED FOR EIGHT, NINE YEARS MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND IF THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT WE MAYBE REVISIT, UM, AND, AND IF IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN MOVE TO THE STREET, FRANKLY THAT'S EASIER FOR US BECAUSE EXACTLY. 
          WE CAN USE AN AUTOMATED VEHICLE TO DO THAT. 
          SO THAT'S WHY, THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING I'D REALLY LIKE TO WORK THAT BETWEEN Y'ALL TO FIND OUT WHERE THOSE STILL EXIST AND LET'S WORK WITH THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          BECAUSE LEMME TELL YOU, THOSE, THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE PUTTING IT IN THE ALLEYWAY, THEY'RE HAVING TO DRAG 'EM A LOT FURTHER THAN FROM THE GARAGE TO THE STREET, UH, THAT THEIR NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET ARE DOING AND MUCH EASIER. 
          SO I'D LIKE TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT TO EXACTLY, TO YOUR POINT, ERIC, ABOUT SAVING TIME, MONEY AND PEOPLE, UM, OKAY. 
          A T D I SEE THAT YOU MENTIONED 10 EXTRA PEOPLE FOR THE A T D. 
          WHAT IS THAT FOR? NO, ONLY THREE. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M, I'M LOOKING AT, UH, THE SLIDE TO PAGE 13. 
          SLIDE 13, 3, 5 PEOPLE GOING FROM 26 TO 36. 
          YEAH. 
          THIS IS THREE, FOUR A D T AND SEVEN FOUR SIDEWALK REPAIR. 
          OKAY. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          GOT YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, WE'LL GET TO THAT IN JUST A SECOND. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THAT ANSWERS THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ALRIGHT, LET'S GET TO THAT ON THE SIDEWALK REPAIRS, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE, BUT I, I'VE GOT A CONCERN TAKING THIS IN-HOUSE VERSUS CONTRACT. 
          DON'T WE HAVE JOCK CONTRACTS THAT DOES SMALL CONTRACTS, SMALL REPAIRS ACROSS THE CITY FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF JOBS THAT WE EASILY CONTRACT OUT SERVICES? FIRST OF ALL, JOCK BY STATE LAW WE SUPPOSED TO USE FOR BUILDING NOT REALLY HORIZONTAL WORK. 
          WELL, WHEN YOU SAY NOT REALLY THIS, THIS IS NOT, NOT NOT FOR THE FLAT WORK ROADWAY PA WE DO ON BUILDING MAINTENANCE INSIDE THE BUILDING. 
          IF SIDEWALK IS LEADING TO BUILDING, WE COULD, BUT NOT THE SIDEWALK ON THE ROADWAY. 
          SECONDLY, MANY TIME JOCK IS REALLY NOT THE CONTRACTOR THEY HIRE CONTRACTOR TO DO, MOST OF THE TIME THEIR PRICE IS AT LEAST 20% HIGHER THAN EVEN LOW BID CONTRACTOR BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT CONTRACTOR, THEY'RE JUST MANAGING CONTRACTOR. 
          RIGHT. 
          I, I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, DOING IT IN-HOUSE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EQUIPMENT, CROSS VEHICLES, TOOLS, INSURANCE, HEALTHCARE, RETIREMENT, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT GET ADDED ONTO THAT. 
          HAS THAT ALL BEEN FIGURED IN TO DO THE COST COMPARISON AND HAS THIS GONE THROUGH THE INNOVATION CENTER FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT? WE HAVE NOT DONE THROUGH INNOVATION, BUT THE COST FOR 560,000 IS INCLUDE ALL OF THE COST. 
          COUNCILMAN ONE, ONE THING, AND THIS, WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS DURING THE SUMMER AS WE WERE PREPARING THE BUDGET. 
          UM, THE PILOT PROGRAM THAT T C I RAN IN THE SPRINGTIME UTILIZED CONTRACT FORCES AND EXISTING CONTRACTS TO BE ABLE TO DO IT. 
          UM, AND, AND AS, AS RAZZIE AND ROD AND MARIA, JUSTINE AND I TALKED THROUGH THIS ITEM, UM, FRANKLY, MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE'VE, WE ADD THE POSITIONS TO DO THIS. 
          AND YOU WON'T SEE THIS VERY OFTEN 'CAUSE I THINK WE'LL HAVE MORE CONTROL. 
          AND IT'S MORE MODELED AFTER THE POTHOLE PATROL, WHICH IS CITY CREWS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE QUICK IN TERMS OF RESPONSE, UH, AND, UH, A LITTLE BIT MORE NIMBLE. 
          UM, IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT AS WE TALK THROUGH IT. 
          AND THIS IS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THEY FOUND THE T C I FOUND IN THE PILOT PROGRAM WAS THAT WHEN WE'RE CONTRACTING FOR, I DON'T KNOW, UH, A MILE WORTH OF SIDEWALKS, IT'S EASY TO TO, TO, TO BID, SET THE QUANTITIES, UH, SPEC AND, AND GET IT IN PLACE. 
          BUT WHEN WE ARE REACTING TO LIKE THE PICTURE SHOWS A, UH, THREE OR SIX SQUARE, UH, METER OR NOT METER FOOT, UM, CHUNK, WE BELIEVE WE CAN DO IT EASIER AND QUICKER WITH CITY FORCES USING QUANTITIES THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE ON HAND. 
          AND, AND, UM, AND IT WAS FOR THAT REASON WHY WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE CREW. 
          I I, I, UH, YOU 
          [06:00:01]
KNOW, MOST OF OUR STREET MAINTENANCE MONEY IS CONTRACTED OUT. 
          I'LL, I'LL TELL YOU THAT, THAT, UM, PART OF THE ISSUES THAT I THINK WE'RE GONNA TRY TO CONTINUE TO BUILD UPON IS GETTING THOSE CONTRACTS OUT AND THE PRODUCTION DONE FASTER. 
          UM, OUT OF THE $110 MILLION, WE HAVE 12 MILLION THAT'S DONE IN-HOUSE WITH CITY CREWS. 
          AND THE IDEA IS THAT IS WITH CONTRACT, WE CAN, WE CAN SCALE UP AND DOWN FASTER AND NOT HAVE THAT OVERHEAD. 
          UM, BUT, BUT I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO LOOK AT BECAUSE WE NEED THE BALANCE. 
          UH, TO COUNCILWOMAN GONZALEZ'S POINT EARLIER, WE NEED THE BALANCE ADDRESSING THE NEED, BUT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IT NEEDS TO BE DONE QUICKER AND MORE EFFICIENTLY. 
          AND I THINK RAZZIE AND HIS TEAM, UH, AND ANTHONY ARE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN TURN THOSE THINGS AROUND FASTER. 
          UM, IF WE CAN DO IT FASTER, THEN WE CAN POTENTIALLY DO MORE. 
          WELL, I, AND I UNDERSTAND ALL THAT. 
          I, I, I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS FURTHER ABOUT RUNNING THIS THROUGH THE INNOVATION CENTER AND LETTING THEM TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH HOW YOU GET WORK DONE AND HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU USE AND THAT KIND OF THING. 
          UH, JUST TO, JUST TO DO A CHECK ON THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT I'D ALSO LIKE TO EXPLORE THAT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER WHEN YOU'RE SAYING WE CAN'T USE HORIZONTAL, UH, WORK FOR A JOCK. 
          UM, CORRECT. 
          LET'S, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT AND WHERE ARE THE HANGUPS ON THAT AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO UNSTICK THAT? THAT'S COUNCILMAN, THAT'S A STATE LAW. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, HEY, WE, WE CHANGE STATE LAWS ALL THE TIME, SO I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS THAT FURTHER AND LET'S TAKE IT UP. 
          LET'S TAKE IT UP WITH OUR LEGISLATORS. 
          THAT'S WHAT THEY WORK FOR US. 
          SO LET'S, LET'S GET THAT ON THE TABLE AND TALK TO 'EM. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE GOT AN I G R COMMITTEE AS WELL THAT, UH, THAT COULD BE TAKEN THROUGH. 
          SO LET'S, UH, UM, WE TALKED ABOUT THE BIKE MASTER PLAN AND THE PEOPLE REQUIRED FOR THAT, THE, UH, STORM. 
          UH, ALSO I HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STORM WATER UTILITY FEE INCREASE ON SLIDE 25. 
          YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE, UM, HOW MUCH OF AN INCREASE A DOLLAR 30 FOR THE RESIDENTS, CORRECT. 
          EIGHT 90 FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THIS WAS ALREADY LAID IN. 
          THIS WAS APPROVED IN THE PLAN ADOPTED BY COUNCIL IN 2016 FIVE YEARS RATE PLAN. 
          SO WHAT, WHAT IS OUR BACKLOG OR WHAT IS OUR TOTAL REQUIREMENT FOR THIS PARTICULAR LINE ITEM? THIS ONE IS PACED BASICALLY FOR THOSE ANY MAINTENANCE WE GOT TO DO ON EXISTING STORM WATER SYSTEM. 
          WELL, BUT WHAT IS OUR BACKLOG? I MEAN, IF YOU'RE GOING IN FOR A RATE INCREASE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME SOMETHING TO, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE WE LAY IN A RATE INCREASE DOESN'T MEAN WE NEED TO ACTUALLY DO IT IF WE DON'T NEED IT. 
          RIGHT. 
          COUNCILMAN, WHEN THIS, UH, WHEN THIS METHODOLOGY CHANGED BACK IN 2016, LET ME REMIND YOU THAT WE WERE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE WERE ASSESSING BASED ON LAND USE. 
          IT CHANGED TO IMPERVIOUS COVER, UH, BECAUSE WE REALIZED IT'S IMPERVIOUS COVER THAT'S GENERATING THE RUNOFF THAT'S COMING ON THE, WITH, WHEN WE DID THAT CHANGE, THEY IDENTIFIED WHAT THAT RATE NEEDED TO BE BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT TO OUR, OUR OVERALL SYSTEM. 
          INSTEAD OF JUMPING FROM, FROM THE CURRENT RATE TO THE NEW ONE, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT IT BE DONE IN, IN INCREMENTS A FIVE YEAR INCREMENT TO, TO THE POINT THAT WE'RE AT TODAY. 
          SO THAT WE COULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL THOSE, THE DRAINAGE ISSUES. 
          AND IT WAS ALSO IDENTIFIED WHAT KIND OF FREQUENCY WE WERE GONNA DO, STREET SWEEPING, WHAT KIND OF FREQUENCY WE WERE GONNA DO, THE, THE CREEK MAINTENANCE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS FUND, UH, PROVIDES. 
          AND SO YOU'RE SAYING WE STILL NEED THIS, YOU INCREASE OF $1 MILLION. 
          WHEN WE HAD IDENTIFIED THAT BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF STORMWATER DRAINAGE PROJECTS THAT WE STILL NEED TO GET DONE, UM, BECAUSE OF THINGS THAT ARE OCCURRING IN, IN OUR, IN OUR SYSTEM, WE IDENTIFIED WE NEEDED A, WE NEEDED TO HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THOSE CAPITAL PROJECTS TO GET CONSTRUCTED TO DO ANY KIND OF REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE WORK OR THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          BUT AREN'T, WHEN YOU SAY CONSTRUCTED, AREN'T THE DEVELOPERS AND UH, COMPANIES RESPONSIBLE TO DO THAT AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT? THAT'S A, THAT'S A DIFFERENT FUND THAT'S OUT OF THE STORMWATER REGIONAL FUND. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT I MEAN, WHEN THEY CONSTRUCT A FACILITY OR WHATEVER, THEY'RE, THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THE DRAINAGE, THE AREA DRAINAGE, RIGHT? YES, SIR. 
          YES, SIR. 
          SO, I, I'M STILL, IF Y'ALL CAN COME BACK TO ME, I, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE REQUIREMENT 
          [06:05:01]
IS. 
          'CAUSE WE'RE JUST SAYING, WELL, WE NEED ANOTHER EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. 
          WHAT, WHAT'S THE REQUIREMENT? WHAT'S DRIVING THAT, AND WHY DO WE NEED AN EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT? WE, WE CAN CERTAINLY SIT DOWN AND GIVE YOU SOME CLEAR EXAMPLES, BUT JUST IN A QUICK, UH, NUTSHELL, OUR, OUR INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS OUR CORRUGATED METAL PIPES, OUR COVERTS, OUR DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, UM, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN THEM, KEEP 'EM CLEAN AND SO FORTH, BUT SOMETIMES HEAD WALLS WILL BEGIN FAILING. 
          UH, INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BEGIN FAILING, AND WE NEED CAPITAL, UH, DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO GO IN THERE AND REPLACE, UH, AND REPAIR SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST A NORMAL CLEANING AND, AND, AND, AND CLEANING OF THOSE SYSTEMS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE TRY AND DO WITH THAT IS TO IDENTIFY AREAS, DO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, MAYBE WIDENING A CHANNEL OR THINGS LIKE THAT, UH, BECAUSE OF JUST, JUST THE WAY THE DEVELOPMENT HAS HAS OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THE TIME WE LOOK AT THOSE AREAS AND DO THOSE NEEDED REPAIRS AS, AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          BUT WE CAN, WE CAN SIT AND TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DETAIL. 
          YEAH, I'D STILL LIKE, BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, I TOTALLY AGREE. 
          YOU IDENTIFY THAT NEED AND YOU SHOULD HAVE A BACKLOG, YOU SHOULD HAVE A LIST OF THOSE NEEDS, AND YOU SHOULD HAVE A DOLLAR FIGURE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE, HERE'S WHAT THE REQUIREMENT IS, AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED THIS EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE NOT SHOWING THAT TO ME. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE. 
          WE CAN SHOW YOU THAT IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          AND THE REST OF THIS IS JUST THE, UH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK THAT'S, HANG ON JUST A SECOND. 
          OH, WE TALKED ABOUT TRAFFIC CALMING IN HERE A LITTLE BIT. 
          UM, WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO FOR TRAFFIC CALMING IN THIS BUDGET? YOU KNOW, I, I HAVE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, CAN WE REDUCE THE SPEED LIMITS IN NEIGHBORHOODS, THE SIGNAGE TO REDUCE THE SPEED LIMITS? CAN WE ADD STOP SIGNS? CAN WE, UH, INCREASE THE NUMBER OF, THAT'S WHERE I'M GETTING THE MAJORITY OF MY COMPLAINTS FROM IS INSIDE NEIGHBORHOODS, PEOPLE SPEEDING ALONG THOSE CUTTING THROUGH, OR EVEN NEIGHBORS, UH, COMPLAINING ABOUT SPEEDING. 
          SO WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO TO, UH, I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY SEE MY NAMP BUDGET INCREASE TO ADD MORE SPEED, SPEED BUMPS, THAT KIND OF THING THROUGHOUT NEIGHBOR NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          ADD MORE SIGNAGE TO PROTECT, UM, YOU KNOW, CHILDREN, THAT KIND OF THING THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? I, I, I NEED Y'ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SEE, LET'S LIST OUT HERE'S SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO REDUCE THAT SPEED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S MY NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOODS IS SPEEDERS. 
          AND HOW CAN WE CALM THAT TRAFFIC DOWN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER? SO IF Y'ALL COULD COME BACK TO ME ON THAT, UM, LIKE I SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OUR NAMP PROJECT, NAMP BUDGETS ACTUALLY INCREASED TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY ON ADDRESSING SOME OF THOSE ISSUES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          YOU HERE? AH, I GOT A, I GOT A SECOND ON THAT HERE, ERIC. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          UH, GOOD JOB, RAZZIE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THAT'S ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU RAZZI AND STAFF FOR ALL YOUR PRESENTATIONS, UH, TODAY. 
          UM, I HAVE SOME CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, BUT FIRST OF ALL, I'M GONNA JUMP RIGHT INTO TO DRAINAGE. 
          UH, SOME OF THE COUNCILWOMAN BROUGHT IT UP AND COUNCILMAN PERRY WAS QUESTIONING OUR NEED FOR $1 MILLION MORE IN DRAINAGE NEEDS. 
          SO THIS ISN'T SO MUCH A QUESTION AS REALLY JUST A STATEMENT TO SHARE WITH, WITH MY COLLEAGUES. 
          UM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IN DISTRICT SEVEN ALONE, THE DRAINAGE PROJECTS THAT ARE NEEDED, UM, AT TODAY'S ESTIMATES ARE AT ABOUT $200 MILLION, AND WE HAVE TO USE EITHER BONDS OR THE STORMWATER FUND TO PAY FOR THOSE. 
          SO, UM, COUNCILMAN, THAT'S, THAT'S A BACKLOG. 
          SO, UH, AND I UNDERSTAND THIS, UH, RATE INCREASE WAS DECIDED IN 2016, UH, WHEN THAT WAS ADOPTED. 
          UM, WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS WHEN DO WE REVISIT THAT YOU SAID THIS IS THE FOURTH AND FINAL YEAR OF THAT RATE INCREASE. 
          UM, SO WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE PROCESS GOING FORWARD FOR THAT? WILL IT STAY, UH, FLAT OR DO WE HAVE ANOTHER, UM, I GUESS DO, DO WE PLAN TO DEVELOP A FUNDING PLAN FOR THE REMAINING NEED, WHICH I THINK CITYWIDE IS ABOUT 2 BILLION, IS THAT RIGHT? YES. 
          YEAH. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , YES, COUNCILWOMAN, I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE COME BACK TO YOU AND OTHERS TO CREATE ANOTHER FIVE YEAR PLAN. 
          MM-HMM. 
          [06:10:01]
 EVEN WE ARE GETTING THROUGH THE RATING IS 1 MILLION. 
          OUR NEED IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN 1 MILLION. 
          THAT'S THE MAXIMUM WE COULD INCREASE. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S THE PLAN APPROVED. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND A LOT OF THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT, AS I'VE HEARD, UM, NEPHEW'S PRESENTATION MANY TIMES, UM, AND IF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T HEARD IT, I RECOMMEND IT. 
          HE TELLS US THE STORY OF WHEN FEMA WAS CREATED, WHICH WAS 1970, AND, UH, AND THEN REMINDS US THAT THE CITY WAS FOUNDED IN, UH, WHAT, 300 YEARS AGO. 
          SO THERE'S SOME, UH, DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO, TO SOME OF THAT GUIDANCE. 
          SO WE, WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. 
          PLUS WE'RE IN FLASH FLOOD ALLEY. 
          UM, SPEAKING OF ALLS, UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR, UH, WORKING THAT INTO THE BUDGET THIS TIME. 
          UH, I KNOW MY, MY TEAM HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET SOME OF OUR ALLEYS FUNDED SINCE WE GOT INTO INTO OFFICE TWO YEARS AGO. 
          WE HAVE A LIST OF 31 ALLEYS. 
          THEY DIDN'T ALL MAKE IT ON THE LIST. 
          SOME OF THESE HAVE BEEN AROUND IN, IN YOUR QUEUE SINCE 2006. 
          UM, AND WE CERTAINLY COLLECTED A LOT MORE IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. 
          JUST A LOT OF CALLS FROM CONSTITUENTS ABOUT DRAINAGE. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UH, FOR, FOR FITTING THAT IN THERE. 
          UM, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THEM IN THERE, BUT I, I REALIZE THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH TO GO. 
          AND, UH, JUST FOR ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING, WHAT, THE REASON I BELIEVE THESE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT IS, AT LEAST THE ONES IN D SEVEN, IS THE ALLEYS. 
          UH, THE CONDITION OF THE ALLEY IS CAUSING DRAINAGE PROBLEMS ONTO PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE ADJACENT PRIVATE PROPERTIES. 
          AND THAT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, OUR STREETS AND OUR ALLEYS WERE DESIGNED TO, AS NEFI HAS TOLD US IN HIS PRESENTATION TO CONVEY WATER. 
          AND SO WE NEED TO CONVEY, WE NEED TO MAINTAIN THOSE. 
          OTHERWISE WE'RE NOT DOING OUR JOB IN TERMS OF MAINTAINING THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROTECTING PEOPLE'S PRIVATE PROPERTY FROM FLOODING. 
          SO, UM, I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THE, THE FUNDING FOR THAT AND WOULD, WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE WHENEVER, UH, FUNDING BECOMES AVAILABLE. 
          UM, ERIC, THERE'S A, A COUPLE OF CLARIFYING QUESTIONS I HAVE IN THE, IN THE PRESENTATION, UH, AT THE END OF IT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS FOR ERIC OR OZZIE. 
          UH, THERE'S A LIST OF IT PROJECTS PAGE, UH, 35. 
          ARE WE GOING TO GET A DIFFERENT PRESENTATION FOR THOSE IN THE FUTURE? OR IS THIS, IS THIS IT? WELL, WE CAN GO INTO MORE DETAIL, BUT CRAIG IS, UH, HERE IN THE ROOM AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THOSE RIGHT NOW IF YOU'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, NO, I WAS JUST WONDERING. 
          I COULD DO A, I I CAN ASK, UM, FOR A FOLLOW UP FROM, FROM GREG, UH, PERSONALLY, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT PRESENTATION IN THE FUTURE. 
          AND THEN, UH, ON THE T D M SLIDE 18, LAST BULLET SAYS OZONE ATTAINMENT, MASTER PLAN COORDINATION. 
          DOES THAT MEAN T C I WILL BE COORDINATING THE WHOLE PLAN GOING FORWARD? I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUTTA METRO HEALTH. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE PART OF THE OVERALL TEAM, THE BEGINNING TO ZERO COMMITTEE. 
          SO, UH, R T D M MANAGER HAS BEEN EMBEDDED IN THAT PROCESSES AND WORKING ON SOME KEY INITIATIVES AS PART OF THAT OVERALL PROGRAM. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO IT'S PART OF THE, PART OF THE TEAM. 
          YES. 
          SO THE LEAD IS STILL METRO HEALTH? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          ON THAT, THANK YOU, UH, VERY MUCH. 
          UM, THERE'S SOME TALK ABOUT, UH, SAFETY AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO, UH, ENCOURAGE STAFF IF POSSIBLE IS, YOU KNOW, TDOT ANNOUNCED THAT IT'S A VISION ZERO ORGANIZATION NOW. 
          SO STATEWIDE, THEY'RE TRYING TO REDUCE FATALITIES TO ZERO, AND THEY'RE PUTTING, I THINK, $600 MILLION TOWARD THAT, UH, EFFORT. 
          UH, I IMAGINE THEY MAY HAVE SOME THINGS EARMARKED ALREADY, UH, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY POSSIBILITY TO LEVERAGE THOSE FUNDS HERE LOCALLY. 
          UH, OUR ROADS WITH THE HIGHEST FATALITIES, AS COUNCILMAN GONZALEZ SAID, ARE THE ONES THAT ARE MANAGED BY TXDOT. 
          I I DO HOPE THEY FOCUS ON PEDESTRIAN, UH, SAFETY AS WELL. 
          SO, UM, I THINK YOU HAVE A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME OF THOSE FOLKS ARE. 
          SO THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE MY REQUEST. 
          UM, AND THEN LASTLY, UM, UH, YOUR DEPARTMENT HAS GROWN TREMENDOUSLY IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, FROM $64 MILLION TO NEARLY DOUBLE THAT 110 YOU'VE GROWN IN SCOPE AS WELL. 
          UM, AND, UH, SO THAT'S A LOT, UH, THAT, THAT YOU'VE HAD TO QUICKLY ADAPT TO. 
          AND, UH, OUR OFFICE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS LIKE THIS BEFORE I GOT THERE, BUT WE GET A LOT OF CALLS ABOUT, OF COURSE, STREET MAINTENANCE, WHEN IS MY STREET GOING TO BE DONE? BUT ALSO WITH CONCERNS ABOUT ONGOING PROJECTS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT ONGOING PROJECTS. 
          AND, UH, I IMAGINE THOSE COME INTO 3 1 1 2. 
          UH, BUT WE HAVE, UM, WE HAVE A LOT OF CONSTITUENT CALLS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH T C I, RIGHT? IT'S, IT'S, UH, IT'S UP THERE. 
          SO MY QUESTION IS, CAN WE WORK GOING FORWARD ON SOME SORT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE INITIATIVE? MAYBE WE SHARE WITH YOU WHAT TYPES OF CALLS WE GET, WHAT TYPES OF QUESTIONS WE GET, AND WE CAN COME TO SOME, UH, UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHAT, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO ON THE FRONT 
          [06:15:01]
END? SO THAT REDUCES OUR LOAD A LITTLE BIT ON, ON OUR SIDE, AND HOPEFULLY MAKES YOUR JOB EASIER TOO. 
          COUNCILWOMAN? IT'S A GOOD IDEA. 
          SINCE OUR STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM HAS BEEN INCREASED LAST YEAR, WE GOT ADDITIONAL STAFF TO HELP US TO DELIVER THOSE PROJECT. 
          AND ALSO WE HAVE NUMBER OF THE ON-CALL CONSULTING AS A STAFF AUGMENTATION TO ASSIST. 
          AND ALSO SINCE OUR BOND PROGRAM SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED AND ALSO THANKS FOR THE CONS AND MAYOR, THEY GIVE US APPROVAL TO HIRE ADDITIONAL STAFF TO HELP US ON OUR BOND PROGRAM ALSO. 
          YEAH, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR US TO GET FROM INPUT TO SEE REALLY WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, WHICH WE DON'T KNOW. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND WE HAVE, UH, EVERY SO OFTEN WE MEET WITH YOU AND, AND WE TELL YOU, BUT I, I MEAN, THE TRUTH IS THE MONEY CAN'T ALL JUST GO, THE NEW MONEY CAN'T ALL JUST GO TO, UH, PUTTING THE PROJECT IN. 
          THERE'S ALL THESE, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO COORDINATE IT, OF COURSE. 
          BUT THEN I THINK YOU NEED TO SET SOMETHING ASIDE FOR JUST WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, THAT'S GOTTA SCALE UP AS WELL WITH THE SIZE OF, OF THE STREET MAINTENANCE BUDGET. 
          WELL, REAL QUICK, COUNCILMAN, I, I DID WANNA SHARE ONE THING. 
          UH, ERIC ASKED OUR INNOVATION TEAM TO, TO HELP US, UH, WITH, WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE EXACTLY WHAT, WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND, AND, AND ONE OF THE PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY'VE MADE IS A 360 APPROACH. 
          OR BASICALLY WE'D BE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, WE'D BE GIVING THE CONTRACTOR, YOU KNOW, FEEDBACK ON HOW THEY'RE DOING AND YOU KNOW, ARE YOU'RE ON TIME, ARE YOU ON BUDGET? WHAT, WHAT ARE WE HEARING FROM THE CONSTITUENTS? WHAT DO YOU NEED TO IMPROVE ON? AND THEN ALSO WE'D HAVE THE CONTRACTOR GIVE US FEEDBACK ON WHAT IT IS WE COULD DO TO IMPROVE OUR SERVICES AS WELL. 
          SO, UH, I, I THINK, YOU KNOW, BY, BY DOING THAT, HAVING THAT REVIEW THAT'S GONNA POINT OUT THOSE ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE UPON AND WE CAN PUT A PLAN IN PLACE THEN TO, TO TACKLE THOSE, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE START GETTING THOSE FEEDBACKS. 
          SURE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I'LL LIMIT MY COMMENTS TO THAT TODAY SINCE WE WE'RE COUNCIL. 
          LEMME ADD SOMETHING. 
          WE MET WITH YOU YESTERDAY REGARDING CEILING CHANNEL. 
          I DON'T REMEMBER IT. 
          I WAS GETTING YESTERDAY  UNTIL LAST YEAR. 
          WE USED TO BID MAJORITY IF NOT ALL OF THE STREET AND RANGE PROJECT LOW BIT. 
          AND SOMETIME ON LOW BID YOU REALLY DON'T GET THE QUALITY OF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE YOU WANT. 
          LAST YEAR. 
          CONS APPROVED ORDINANCE GIVING US AUTHORITY, WE COULD USE COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL. 
          COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL IS SELECTION IS DONE BASED ON THE QUALIFICATION AND PRICE, NOT ONLY PRICE, BUT BASED ON QUALIFICATION. 
          WE ARE IMPLEMENTING THESE, WE MAKE SURE WE GET MUCH, MUCH BETTER COM CUSTOMER SERVICE, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE BUILDING A LARGER DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN THEIR VERY ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE CEILING CHANNEL PHASE THREE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT TYPE OF SERVICE WE'RE GOING TO GET WITH A NEW CONTRACTOR ON THAT. 
          UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH MAYOR PRO TEM. 
          UM, APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU COUNCILWOMAN SANDOVAL FOR THE RECORD, I'M NEXT TO SPEAK ON THE QUEUE, SO I'LL ASK MY QUESTIONS FOR HERE. 
          UM, ON PAGE 3 38 OF THE BUDGET, I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION, ROSIE. 
          I WAS, UM, JUST A LITTLE BIT, UH, CONCERNED BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE METRICS, THE PERFORMANCE METRICS THAT WE HAD, UM, TARGETED WERE NONE OF THE THREE WERE MET. 
          AND I I'M SURE THERE'S A LOGICAL EXPLANATION, SO I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE WHAT IT IS. 
          OH, SHE'S . 
          WE HAD NUMBER OF THE PROJECT, WE HAD FUNDING AGREEMENT. 
          THE PARTNER PARTY WASN'T BE ABLE TO REACH OUT THEIR GOAL TO RAISE THEIR MONEY TO US TO SIGN AGREEMENT WITH THEM. 
          I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASON. 
          AND WE HAD ONE CONTRACTOR OR CONSULTING CHANGE THEIR PARTNERSHIP. 
          WE HAD TO REMOVE THE PROJECT TO SIGN SOMEBODY ELSE OTHER FIRM THAT ALSO AFFECT OUR PROJECT DELIVERY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I'M ASSUMING WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN OR WE DON'T GET BEHIND FOR THIS YEAR'S? UM, WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO RECOVER SOME OF THIS TIME DURING CONSTRUCTION, CORRECT. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          UM, MY SECOND QUESTION IS ON SLIDE 14 ON YOUR SIDEWALK PRIORITIZATION CHART, I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF THE QUESTIONS OR, OR THE PRIORITY THAT'S THERE, IS THAT, ARE THOSE BEST PRACTICES OR HOW DID WE DETERMINE THOSE SEVEN ITEMS? I THINK THEY'RE BEST PRACTICE AND ALSO WE RAN THIS ONE BY THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE, GOT INPUT FROM THEM LAST YEAR. 
          [06:20:01]
OKAY, WONDERFUL. 
          I'M SORRY, I I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. 
          SO I'M NEW, SO I'M JUST TRYING TO LEARN. 
          AND THEN ON SLIDE 11, JUST SAME AS MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES, UM, VIA GRANT AND GONZALEZ. 
          UH, UH, AND UM, I THINK EVEN PERRY ASKED ABOUT THIS, SO I JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT THE BREAKDOWN WHERE THE DISTRICTS WERE. 
          I KNOW YOU MENTIONED DISTRICTS 1, 3, 5, 7. 
          I HAVE ONE REALLY BAD ALLEY. 
          UH, AND SO I, I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAYBE PUT IT ON A FUTURE LIST, UH, FOR DISTRICT FOUR. 
          AND THEN MY FINAL QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS ON THE STORM WATER FEE? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SAS COLLECTS IT. 
          DO WE, UM, DO WE STILL GET, UM, A FULL AMOUNT FROM SAUCE OF WHAT WE BUILD OR IS IT ONLY WHAT WE, WHAT THEY'VE COLLECTED THAT THEY PAY US? THEY PAY US WHAT THEY COLLECTED AND I BELIEVE THEY SUB DIRECT THE SERVICE. 
          THEY SUB MANAGING THAT, HANDLING THE COLLECTION. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU RAZZY. 
          THOSE ARE MY ONLY QUESTIONS. 
          UM, COUNCILWOMAN JADA, ANDREW SULLIVAN HAS THE FLOOR. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UM, QUICK QUESTION, RAZZY, WELL FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY THANK YOU, UM, TO YOU, MR. ANTHONY AND ART AND THE REST OF THE TEAM, UM, THAT WERE ABLE TO COME OUT AND HELP US TO ADDRESS, UM, THE DENVER HEIGHTS COMMUNITY AND THAT, THAT INTERSECTION THAT WE HAVE OF THE FIVE POINTS. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          WHEN IT COMES TO THE SIDEWALK PROJECT, AS WE KNOW DISTRICT TWO, I CAN TELL YOU, UH, FOR 44 YEARS OF MY LIFE, NEVER REALLY HAS HAD SIDEWALKS. 
          SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE GAP, UM, PLAN, CAN YOU GIVE ME KIND OF A BREAKDOWN? I KNOW YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO GIVE IT TO ME LATER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT NOW ON EXACTLY WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR DISTRICT TWO, HOW WE FALL INTO THAT, THAT THAT PLAN AND THAT PROGRAM, BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE HOSPITALS AND OUR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, WE'RE STILL KIND OF IN THE MIX OF THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF THE, THE THROUGHWAY STREETS AND A LOT OF THOSE STREETS DO RUN ALONG OUR SCHOOL CORRIDORS. 
          UM, SO I WOULD LOVE TO FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW WE FALL INTO, UM, THE SIDEWALK PRIORITIZATION, UM, PLAN AND HOW, HOW IT LOOKS FOR US. 
          BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN YOU BROUGHT US THE MAPS OF WHAT OUR SIDEWALKS LOOK LIKE FOR DISTRICT TWO AND IT WAS KINDA LIKE A RED PENCIL HAD TAKEN UP THE WHOLE THING. 
          UM, SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW WE ACTUALLY FIT INTO THAT. 
          AS FAR AS DISTRICT TWO, UM, A LOT OF OUR ALLEYS ARE USED STILL BY SAWS AS FAR AS THE THROUGHWAY FOR THEIR TRUCKS AND THEY TAKE OUT A LOT OF THE PROPERTY FENCE LINE. 
          SO WE GET A LOT OF THE DAMAGE FROM THE TRUCKS THROUGH OUR ALLEYWAYS, UM, WITHIN DISTRICT TWO. 
          SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW WE CAN SIT DOWN AND LOOK AT OUR ALLEYWAYS, UM, FOR THAT PROGRAM, UM, AS WELL. 
          AND, UM, JUST OUR STREETS AS A WHOLE. 
          I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF STREETS THAT HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY RECONSTRUCTED. 
          UM, SO IS THERE A WAY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE NEW H E B WAREHOUSE THAT IS, THAT IS COMING IN, BUT WE HAVE THAT COMMUNITY THAT ACTUALLY SITS THERE ALONG THAT CORRIDOR THAT, UH, THE TRUCKS WILL BE TRAVELING THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE PROPER INFRASTRUCTURE TO HOLD THOSE STREETS THAT WON'T DAMAGE THE RESIDENTS VEHICLES BASED ON THE, THE 18 WHEELERS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH. 
          SO THAT'S JUST THE FEW OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE, UM, BROKEN DOWN FOR DISTRICT TWO. 
          AND, UM, THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU COUNCILWOMAN ANDREW SULLIVAN. 
          THE TIME IS NOW 5:21 PM AND CITY COUNCIL WILL RECESS TODAY'S SPECIAL SESSION AND CONTINUE THE BUDGET PRESENTATION REGARDING THE DEBT PLAN UNTIL TOMORROW, AUGUST 21ST, 2019 IN THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER, BEGINNING NO LATER THAN 2:00 PM THANK YOU.
