04:06HI, DIRECTOR.

04:07>> GOOD EVENING, MADAM

04:09PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN.

04:10WE'RE WORKING AT EVALUATING OUR

04:12SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR WHAT

04:14WE NEED TO DO TO USE eVERIFY.

04:18THE RULE THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT

04:21MANDATORY IN OCTOBER GOT

04:23POSTPONED UNTIL DECEMBER.

04:24I HAVE NO MORE INFORMATION ABOUT

04:26WHEN THAT EFFECTIVE DATE MAY OR

04:28MAY NOT WOULD BE.

04:30WE'RE LOOKING AT WHEN WE NEED TO

04:32BRING IT ON.

04:33>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU.

04:35DR. SENGEL, WE DECIDED NOT TO

04:42FIEBELKORN, WE'RE WORKING ON

04:43ADDITIONAL STEPS.

04:44WHEN DIRECTOR STOKER AND I

04:46TALKED, WE HAVE BROAD

04:48DEPARTMENTAL ISSUES WE NEED TO

04:50CHANGE PROTOCOL.

04:51WE'RE GOING TO MEET THE

04:53REQUIREMENTS AND WORK ON

04:54INTERNAL PROTOCOLS TO MAKE SURE

04:56WHEN WE DO WE DON'T HAVE THE

04:58FINES THAT WOULD COME WITH ANY

05:06WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE IN

05:10IT'S NOT IN PLACE BY THE END OF

05:14OCTOBER.

05:14WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AN

05:18IMMIGRANT FRIENDLY CITY.

05:22IT'S NOT FRIENDLY TO NOT ALLOW

05:24OUR EMPLOYEES TO GET WHAT THEY

05:26NEED TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY.

05:27I APPRECIATE IF WE MOVE ON THE

05:29eVERIFY SYSTEM IN THE TIMELINE

05:30WE WERE PROMISED.

05:38SPECIFICALLY, BUT WE DO HAVE A

05:40STOP GAP IN PLACE AND OUR

05:49FIEBELKORN, AS WE'VE DISCUSSED

05:51IN THE PAST WE DO HAVE SOME MOUs

05:53WITH CNM FOR INTERNSHIP, WHICH

05:57HAVE GIVEN ACCESS TO eVERIFY FOR

06:01CERTAIN IMMIGRATION AND VISA

06:05APPLICATIONS.

06:06EMPLOYEE WHO YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO

06:07GIVE A PARTICULAR FORM OF VISA

06:10THAT REQUIRES eVERIFY

06:12PARTICIPATION.

06:12WE CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS

14:42MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF

14:43THEY CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NEW

14:48>>COUN. GROUT: OKAY.

14:49THE WEEDS THAT ARE FOUR FEET

14:53TALL FROM OUR TORRENTIAL RAINS

14:56WE HAD, THE STATE IS GOING TO BE

14:58TAKING THOSE DOWN?

15:00CUTTING THEM DOWN.

15:01>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

15:02GROUT, ANY VEGETATION THAT IS

15:04GROWING OR ANYTHING GROWING ON

15:07MEDIANS IN STATE RIGHT-OF-WAY IN

15:09RELATION TO I-40 AND I-25 WILL

15:13NEED TO BE HANDLED BY THE STATE

15:15BECAUSE THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER THE

15:17RESPONSIBILITIES.

15:17AS I STATED, WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED

15:19ACTUAL PROTOCOLS ON HOW THEY

15:22WILL DO THAT.

15:23I KNOW SPEAKING TO THE ACTING

15:25CABINET SECRETARY THEY PLAN ON

15:27DOING IT WITH SOME OF THEIR

15:29STAFF AT DISTRICT THREE

15:30FOLLOWING THEIR OWN PROTOCOLS,

15:32BUT THEY HAVEN'T SHARED THOSE

15:34WITH US SO I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT

15:36THOSE PROTOCOLS ARE.

15:38THEY DID EXPRESS THEY WOULD BE

15:40USING CONTRACTED LABOR OR

15:43POSSIBLY MAKE LITTER CREWS.

15:45THEY WERE LOOKING FOR THE BEST

15:47WAY TO HANDLE THESE TASKS.

15:49>>COUN. GROUT: MY LAST QUESTION

15:51IS WHY DO YOU THINK THEY

15:52CANCELED THE CONTRACT?

15:54>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

15:57GROUT, I CAN'T EXPLAIN -- I

15:59CAN'T SAY WHY THEY WANTED TO

16:01CANCEL THE CONTRACT.

16:02ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT I WAS

16:05TOLD.

16:05HE SAID IT WAS A BUDGET ISSUE.

16:06THEY FELT THEY COULD DO THIS

16:08WORK WITH THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND

16:11THEIR OWN STAFF IN DISTRICT

16:13THREE AND THEY COULD UTILIZE

16:15CONTRACT LABOR AND POSSIBILITY

16:18OF USING INMATE LABOR.

16:20>>COUN. GROUT: I WANT TO THANK

16:21YOU AGAIN FOR THE WORK YOU ALL

16:23WERE DOING.

16:23I DO APPRECIATE IT.

16:24I HAVE SEEN A DIFFERENCE.

16:28I HOPE THAT WE GET THE SAME

16:31RESPONSE FROM THE THAT WHEN IT

16:37CLEAN.

16:37THANK YOU.

16:38>>COUN. CHAMPINE: COUNCILOR

16:39ROGERS.

16:39THANK YOU, MR. VICE PRESIDENT.

16:40QUESTION ON THE SAME TOPIC.

16:46FOR THE ENCAMPMENT CLEANUP PART,

16:51WILL THE CITY -- WILL THAT BE A

16:53JOINT OPERATION WITH THE CITY OR

16:55THE STATE IS GOING TO COME UP

16:56WITH THEIR OWN PROCESS FOR

16:59ENCAMPMENT CLEANUP?

17:00>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

17:02ROGERS, I KNOW WE HAVE PROTOCOLS

17:04WITH PROCEDURES WE'VE

17:06IMPLEMENTED.

17:06I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE STATE AS

17:09THEY HAVEN'T SHARED ANY OF THOSE

17:10PROCESSES OR PROCEDURES WITH ME

17:12OR WITH ANYBODY AT THE CITY AS

17:14WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THEM.

17:16>>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MADAM

17:19PRESIDENT.

17:20I'VE BEEN ON A SOAPBOX ABOUT

17:23NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANLINESS.

17:25I JUST WORRY THAT IF -- I JUST

17:28WONDER HOW OUR STATE PARTNERS

17:30WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT.

17:33HOW DO WE BEST ADVOCATE FOR US

17:35AS A CITY?

17:36ARE WE GOING TO TAKE ANY DATA?

17:38ARE WE GOING TO BE TRACKING

17:40CALLS INTO 311 OR -- WE CAN COME

17:45UP WITH PROCESSES THAT WAY.

17:46WE TRACK THOSE THINGS IN MY

17:48OFFICE.

17:49HOW CAN WE AS A CITY BE TRACKING

17:52INSTANCES WHERE THESE THINGS ARE

17:56HANDLED SO -- I'M ABOUT TO GO TO

17:58THE LEGISLATURE TO ASK FOR

18:00NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANLINESS DOLLARS

18:02FOR DISTRICT SIX.

18:03THINGS LIKE TRASH CAGES, AND

18:08POWER WASHING SIDEWALKS.

18:11TO THINK WE ALSO HAVE TO ADD,

18:13WE'RE GOING TO BE THE BACKSTOP

18:16IF THESE THINGS DON'T GET DONE.

18:18I'M HOPING OUR STATE PARTNERS

18:20CAN HANDLE ALL THE THINGS.

18:22AND THEY CLEARLY HAVE MORE

18:24RESOURCES THAN THE CITY OF

18:25ALBUQUERQUE DOES.

18:27I'M JUST INTERESTED IN OUR

18:28PROCESSES FOR COLLECTING DATA

18:29AROUND THESE INSTANCES SO WE CAN

18:32REPORT TO THE STATE THE

18:33CONDITIONS SHOULD THEY WORSEN.

18:35>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

18:36ROGERS, WE'RE DOING SEVERAL

18:38THINGS.

18:38AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO

18:39IMPLEMENT THINGS.

18:41THIS JUST HAPPENED AS OF

18:42THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK.

18:43WE'RE UTILIZING THE 311 SYSTEM

18:45TO TRACK ALL OF THE CALLS COMING

18:47IN SO THEY'RE BEING -- TRACK THE

18:49CALLS AND LOG THE CALLS.

18:51AT THE END OF EVERY DAY WE SEND

18:53A SPREADSHEET TO THE NEW MEXICO

18:55DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

18:56I KNOW OUR SOLID WASTE

18:57DEPARTMENT HAS CREWS ALL OVER

18:58THE CITY AS THEY NORMALLY DO.

19:01THEY'RE LOOKING.

19:02IF THEY RECEIVE A CALL, THEY'RE

19:07GOING TO CHECK THE ADDRESS.

19:09IT'S GOING TO BE A -- IT'S GOING

19:11TO BE SOMETHING IN PROGRESS WITH

19:13311 AND GETTING IT TO THE STATE.

19:15ONE OF THE BIG KEYS IS GOING TO

19:17BE THE EYE TEST.

19:17BEING ABLE TO SEE THE

19:20DIFFERENCE.

19:20THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE DOING FROM

20:09WE'RE GOING IN WITH OPEN EYES.

20:11AND AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE

20:14THE CITY AND RESIDENTS.

20:16>>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MADAM

20:18PRESIDENT.

20:18I APPRECIATE THAT.

20:19THIS DOESN'T CHANGE OUR PUBLIC

20:22SAFETY RESPONSE.

20:23THIS IS JUST TRASH AND WEED AND

20:26LITTER ENCAMPMENTS?

20:29I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE

20:31PUBLIC STATE POLICE AREN'T GOING

20:33TO POLICE THOSE AREAS AS WELL.

20:34I KNOW THEY DO ON THE HIGHWAYS

20:36AND THOSE THINGS.

20:37I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR, AS

20:39FAR AS FIRE AND POLICE -- IF

20:42SOMEBODY IS IN THE ARROYO,

20:44THAT'S MANAGED BY THE DEPARTMENT

20:45OF TRANSPORTATION, AFR IS STILL

20:47GOING TO BE RESPONDING TO THAT,

20:59>>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU.

21:00I WOULD SAY TO THE PUBLIC, WE

21:04SHOULD ALL DOWNLOAD THE 311 APP

21:08IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY USING IT.

21:10THE GREAT THING ABOUT THE 311

21:12APP FOR DISTRICT SIX IS WE CAN

21:14ATTACH PICTURES TO THE 311 APP

21:16ABOUT THE CONDITIONS WE'RE

21:18SEEING IN OUR DISTRICT.

21:19IT'S REALLY HELPING BY USING THE

21:20APP TO TAKE A PICTURE OF

21:22SOMETHING THAT WE SEE.

21:23IT ALSO PINPOINTS FOR THE

21:25DEPARTMENTS AND GIVE THEM A

21:28VISUAL OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN

21:30THEY'RE GOING TO HELP US WITH

21:31THOSE THINGS.

21:32THIS GOES FOR ANY PART OF OUR

21:34CITY, NOT JUST HIGHWAYS.

21:36THAT'S OFTEN MY PROBLEM IS THAT

21:41IN THIS -- THIS ADDS TO THE

21:43BUREAUCRACY.

21:43I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHO IS

21:44RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING WHAT

21:46PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY.

21:47THIS ADDS MORE LAYERS UP TO

21:49THAT.

21:49IT'S UP TO US AS NEIGHBORS TO

21:51TAKE A PROACTIVE APPROACH AND

21:53LET'S BE PARTNERS WITH OUR STATE

21:55BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE MORE

21:58RESOURCES THAN THE CITY OF

21:59I WOULD LOVE THE EXTRA HELP NOT

22:01ONLY ON THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS

29:53PRESIDENT, WE WILL NOW BE

29:56HONORED WITH A PRESENTATION FROM

29:59MS. CHRISTINE THE, THE CITY'S

30:04ECONOMIST TO PROVIDEN UPDATE ON

30:06THE CITY'S CANNABIS AND GROSS

30:08RECEIPTS TAX.

30:12>> VICE PRESIDENT CHAMPINE,

30:13MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, GOOD

30:14EVENING.

30:14I HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR YOU.

30:20THIS IS JULY GR TRGS.

30:23THE VERY FIRST MONTH FOR FY27.

30:29NOT A WHOLE LOT TO LOOK AT.

30:32THE JULY ACTUALLY DECLINED 4.6%.

30:36BUT THERE'S SOMETHING

30:38CONTRIBUTING TO THAT, WHICH I'D

30:39LIKE TO TRY TO TAKE A SECOND TO

30:43EXPLAIN.

30:43IF YOU ALL RECALL, BACK IN JUNE

30:48OF 2025, THE TAXATION AND

30:52REVENUE DEPARTMENT DID MAKE AN

30:54ERROR.

30:55RATHER THAN GIVING US OUR HOLD

30:58HARMLESS DISTRIBUTION, THEY

31:00ACCIDENTALLY DEDUCTED IT.

31:01THE VERY NEXT MONTH, JULY, THAT

31:03WAS THE FIRST MONTH OF LAST

31:05FISCAL YEAR, THEY GAVE IT BACK

31:07TO US IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE

31:09NORMALLY GET.

31:10THAT'S WHY THE FIRST MONTH OF

31:12LAST YEAR LOOKS LIKE IT GREW

31:1513.7%.

31:15BY COMPARISON, THE JULY 2026

31:19REVENUE LOOKS NEGATIVE.

31:22AND THERE'S ALSO SOMETHING ELSE

31:24GOING ON THAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

31:26THE PHASE OUT OF THE

31:28HOLDHERMLESS -- HOLD HARMLESS

31:32DECREASES EACH FISCAL YEAR.

31:35IT'S GONE DOWN TO 21% THIS

31:37FISCAL YEAR.

31:38I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SECOND IN

31:40CASE THERE'S ANYONE IN THE

31:41AUDIENCE THAT NEEDS A REFRESHER

31:42ON WHAT THE HOLD HARMLESS

31:45PAYMENTS ARE.

31:45WHEN THE STATE DECIDED TO NOT

31:49TAX FOOD ANYMORE, THERE WAS A

31:51SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN REVENUE

31:52FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

31:54THE STATE DECIDED TO HOLD THEM

31:55HARMLESS BY PAYING THEM WHAT

31:57THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED IN TAX

32:00REVENUE.

32:00I THINK IT WAS FY16 WHEN THEY

32:02DECIDED OR WHEN IT BECAME

32:04EFFECTIVE TO START PHASING THAT

32:06OUT.

32:06RIGHT NOW, WE'RE RECEIVING ABOUT

32:1021%.

32:10THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS

32:14PARTICULAR SLIDE.

32:15IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF IT,

32:17WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE

32:19INDIVIDUAL SECTORS, YOU CAN SEE

32:22CONSTRUCTION DID DECLINE THIS

32:24MONTH.

32:24OTHER SERVICES, PROFESSIONAL AND

32:27SCIENTIFIC, RETAIL, HEALTH CARE,

32:30ALL OF THOSE DID RATHER WELL.

32:33WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WHOLE FOOD,

32:35THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

32:36THAT'S THE IMPACT RIGHT THERE.

32:38WHAT IS IT?

32:40NEARLY 71% DECLINE.

32:42IF YOU LOOK AT THE VERY BOTTOM,

32:45THE TOTAL OF ALL BUSINESS

32:47SECTORS WHEN YOU TAKE OUT THE

32:51IMPACT OF HOLD HARMLESS, YOU SEE

32:53ALL BUSINESS SECTORS GREW 5.1%.

32:56THE UNDERLYING GROWTH IS STILL

32:58THERE.

32:58I'LL SAY THAT TODAY I RECEIVED

33:02SOME INFORMATION ON AUGUST

33:03REVENUE.

33:04I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GO

33:05THROUGH IT ALL.

33:07JUST AS A HEADS UP, IT LOOKS TO

33:09BE ABOUT 1.5%.

33:12I WILL SEND OUT A REPORT TO YOUR

33:14INBOXES PROBABLY THIS WEEK.

33:15AND I'LL HAVE YOUR REPORT NEXT

33:18WEEK.

33:18FOR NEXT MONTH.

33:19JUST BRIEFLY, CANNABIS WAS UP

33:2319% FOR JULY.

33:26I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION FOR

33:27AUGUST YET.

33:28I'LL GIVE THAT TO YOU LATER.

33:31WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE?

33:32I THINK THAT'S IT.

33:33I HOPE I DIDN'T CONFUSE ANYONE

33:35WITH THE HOLD HARMLESS

33:36DISCUSSION.

33:37>>COUN. CHAMPINE: THANK YOU FOR

33:38THAT.

33:40COUNCILORS?

33:40COUNCILOR LEWIS.

33:43>>COUN. LEWIS: THANK YOU, MR.

33:44VICE PRESIDENT.

33:46A FEW THINGS.

33:47THE CHECK THAT THE STATE WRITES

33:49TO THE CITY HAS GOT TO BE THE

33:53LARGEST CHECK THEY WRITE FOR

33:56THAT -- IN THE WHOLE STATE.

33:59IS THERE AN INDICATION -- I

34:01GUESS I UNDERSTAND THAT IT

34:03HAPPENED.

34:04I UNDERSTAND WHY THOSE -- BUT

34:06FOR A PAYMENT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO

34:08BE MADE YET IT WAS DEDUCTED FROM

34:11US.

34:11IS THERE ANY INDICATION HOW THAT

34:14HAPPENS?

34:14I IMAGINE THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD

34:16SIZE CHECK THAT THEY WOULD WRITE

34:19TO THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE.

34:20I IMAGINE THAT'S THE LARGEST

34:22CHECK THEY WRITE IN THE STATE.

34:23I KNOW THE STATE HAS DONE A LOT

34:25WITH THEIR DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE

34:27AND REALLY IMPROVING THAT AREA.

34:29IS THERE ANY INDICATION OF WHY

34:31THAT HAPPENED?

34:31>> MR. VICE PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

34:34LEWIS, I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT.

34:37IT WAS PROBABLY JUST A FEW

34:39MILLION, ACTUALLY.

34:39BECAUSE IT WAS JUST THE HOLD

34:42HARMLESS COMPONENT.

34:43IT WAS JUST AN HONEST MISTAKE.

34:45IT WAS JUST A CLERICAL ERROR OF

34:48SOME SORT.

34:50IT'S A LITTLE BIZARRE, THERE'S

34:52JUST A MINUS SIGN IN FRONT OF

34:55IT.

34:55IT WAS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF

34:56WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

34:58I MEAN, SINCE IT WAS NEGATIVE,

35:00THAT MEANS NOT ONLY DID WE GET

35:03WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET, BUT

35:05WE GOT THE SAME AMOUNT LESS.

35:07IT WAS ALMOST DOUBLE, IF THAT

35:10MAKES SENSE.

35:11>>COUN. LEWIS: YUP.

35:12>> I'M SORRY, DID THAT ANSWER

35:13YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILOR LEWIS?

35:16>>COUN. LEWIS: IF IT WAS IT'S A

35:17MISTAKE, IT'S A MISTAKE.

35:18THOSE THINGS DO HAPPEN.

35:19THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, RIGHT?

35:22>> MR. VICE PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

35:26LEWIS, MISTAKES HAVE HAPPENED.

35:32THE HOLD HARMLESS DISTRIBUTION

35:33HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE SINCE ITS

35:36INCEPTION.

35:37>>COUN. LEWIS: I UNDERSTAND.

35:38MR. VICE PRESIDENT, THE OTHER IS

35:43A COMMENT.

35:44THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK

35:45WE TALK ABOUT EACH MONTH IN THIS

35:49REPORT.

35:50THE CONSTRUCTION NUMBERS THERE

35:53ARE PRETTY GLARING.

35:58I THINK THE NUMBERS A YEAR AGO

35:59SHOULD HAVE CAUSED SOME ALARM TO

36:03THE POINT WHERE WE'RE PUT -- WE

36:05SHOULD BE PUTTING TOGETHER A

36:07TASK FORCE.

36:08WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO.

36:09THAT'S A REFLECTION OF HOUSING

36:12CONSTRUCTION, MULTIHOUSING

36:14CONSTRUCTION.

36:16LOW INCOME HOUSING.

36:17IT'S A REFLECTION OF ECONOMIC --

36:22NOT GROWTH, IT'S A REFLECTION OF

36:24ECONOMIC STAGNANCY.

36:25AND SOME REAL PROBLEMS AND

36:29ISSUES.

36:36IT HAS TO BE TRANSLATED INTO

36:38POLICY AND WHAT THE CITY OF

36:41ALBUQUERQUE WILL DO WITH

36:42POLICIES.

36:43AND POLICIES THAT COULD BE

36:44HARMING CONSTRUCTION IN OUR

36:45CITY, OR IT COULD BE

36:47INCENTIVIZING AND HELPING IT.

36:50HAS THE ADMINISTRATION GIVEN

36:51SOME THOUGHT ON THAT?

36:52WE'VE SEEP -- SEEN THESE REPORTS

36:56MONTH BY MONTH.

36:58IT SEEMS LIKE SOME ALARMING DATA

36:59WHEN IT COMES TO JUST ECONOMIC

37:01GROWTH IN OUR CITY, SPECIFICALLY

37:02IN THE AREA OF CONSTRUCTION.

37:04HAVE YOU GIVEN SOME THOUGHT JUST

37:06SOME OVERRIDING POLICIES THAT

37:08EITHER SHOULD BE CHANGED OR NEW

37:10POLICIES?

37:11WE GOT A BUNCH OF DEPARTMENTS

37:12AND A HUGE STAFF AND A LOT OF

37:15GREAT THINKERS WITHIN THE

37:19ADMINISTRATION.

37:19HAVE YOU GIVEN SOME THOUGHT TO

37:21THAT?

37:21>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

37:24LEWIS, I THINK WE'VE HAD MANY

37:28DISCUSSIONS WITH INDUSTRY AND

37:29COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN

37:32BRINGING -- WE CAN SEE THE

37:34NUMBERS.

37:34AND WE TALK THROUGH THE

37:36POTENTIAL POLICY ISSUES THAT CAN

37:38IMPACT THAT.

37:39I THINK THE IDO PROCESS THAT WE

37:43ALL GO THROUGH GIVES US A CLEAR

37:47INDICATION OF SPECIFIC POLICIES

37:48THAT WE'VE PROPOSED FROM THE

37:50ADMINISTRATION THAT WE THINK

37:52WOULD BE BENEFICIAL IN THE IDO

37:55TO SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION

37:57INDUSTRY ABILITY TO WORK THROUGH

37:59ZONING AND OTHER DECISIONS AND

38:03COMMUNITY IMPACTS.

38:04WE ALSO KNOW IN THE PLANNING

38:07DEPARTMENT THEY'VE DONE

38:08SIGNIFICANT WORK FOR PROCESS

38:10ENIMPROVEMENT.

38:10WE HAVE THE OPTIONS THROUGH

38:13ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES AND

38:14PROTOCOLS TO REMOVE BARRIERS AND

38:17INCREASE COMMUNICATION AND

38:18REDUCE TIMES FOR PERMITTING, AND

38:21TIMES FOR PLANS REVIEW.

38:24IT IS A DEFINITE PRIORITY FOR US

38:26AS AN ADMINISTRATION TO DO

38:28EVERYTHING WE HAVE THE ABILITY

38:30TO CHANGE ADMINISTRATIVELY TO

38:31IMPROVE THAT SITUATION FOR

38:34ANYONE THAT IS STEPPING UP TO DO

38:37CONSTRUCTION AND PUT THEIR

38:38FINANCIAL MEANS IN PLACE TO MOVE

38:41THAT FORWARD.

52:21THERE'S TWO QUESTIONS THAT

52:22COUNCIL ALWAYS ASKS.

52:23I JUST WANT TO GET IN FRONT OF

52:25THOSE TWO QUESTIONS.

52:27THERE ARE NO UTILITY CONCERNS

52:29WITH THIS EXPANSION.

52:30THE WATER, ELECTRICITY, GAS AT

52:35THERE ARE NO CONCERNS ABOUT

52:39WITH THIS.

53:47AND ALSO THE AGREEMENT SHOULD

53:48REFLECT THERE'S 100% CLAWBACK IF

54:00>> CORRECT.

54:01MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS, AS

56:36RESULT IN REMOVAL OF THE

56:37MEETING.

56:38THERE'S A TWO-MINUTE TIME LIMIT

56:41AND A BELL WILL RING TO INDICATE

56:42YOUR TIME IS UP.

56:44MR. CORNELIUS, CALL THE FIRST

56:46SPEAKER.

56:47>> OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS TAD,

56:49FOLLOWED BY LEX.

56:55I KNOW TAD IS HERE.

56:56WE'LL GO WITH LEX FOLLOWED BY

56:58BRICK.

57:13>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCIL

57:17MEMBERS, TRUE SAFETY CANNOT

57:18EXIST WITHOUT TRUST.

57:20TRUST CANNOT EXIST WHEN POLICE

57:22OVERSIGHT IS BIASED.

57:24WHEN OVERSIGHT BODIES ARE

57:26CONTROLLED BY THE VERY

57:27DEPARTMENTS THEY'RE MEANT TO

57:29CHECK, OR RESTRICTED FROM DOING

57:31INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS, THE

57:33PUBLIC STOPS BELIEVING IF THE

57:37SYSTEM IS FAIR.

57:38WHEN OVERSIGHT LEANS TOO FAR IN

57:41PROTECTING THE BADGE OR TOO FAR

57:44IN PRE-JUDGING OFFICERS OR LACK

57:46OF IMPARTIALITY DESTROYS

57:50ACCOUNTABILITY.

57:51CITIZENS DESERVE TO KNOW THAT

57:52COMPLAINTS OF MISCONDUCT ARE

57:54HANDLED THROUGH FACTS, EVIDENCE,

57:57AND INDEPENDENT REVIEW, NOT

58:02POLITICAL.

58:02CITIZENS DESERVE TO KNOW WHEN

58:04COMPLAINTS OF MISCONDUCT ARE

58:05HANDLED THROUGH FACTS, EVIDENCE,

58:08AND INDEPENDENT REVIEW AND NOT

58:10POLITICAL.

58:11PRESSERS OR INTERNAL COVERUPS,

58:14IMPARTIAL OVERSIGHT ISN'T ABOUT

58:17BEING AGAINST THE POLICE, IT'S

58:19ABOUT PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY

58:21OF THE BADGE AND THE SAFETY OF

58:24THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

58:24WHEN THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE

58:26PEOPLE AND THE POLICE BREAKS

58:28DOWN, EVERYONE LOSES.

58:30WE NEED OVERSIGHT, TRANSPARENCY,

58:35AND TRUE INDEPENDENCE TO MAKE

58:38JUST MEANS SOMETHING FOR ALL OF

58:41US.

58:41THANK YOU.

58:44>> BRICK FOLLOWED BY TAD.

58:53>> GOOD EVENING, MADAM

58:54PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS.

58:56SOME CONSTITUTIONAL REMINDERS

58:59FOR THE FOLKS.

59:01IT'S A WONDERFUL THING.

59:03THE CONSTITUTION, ESPECIALLY OUR

59:04BILL OF RIGHTS, ISN'T JUST A

59:07LEGAL DOCUMENT.

59:07IT'S AN EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENT.

59:09THE FOUNDERS KNEW HOW TYRANNY

59:12WOULD CREEP IN, SPECIFICALLY THE

59:17FIRST AMENDMENT.

59:18THROUGH PROPAGANDA AND OTHER

59:20FORMS OF MEDIA, STATE-RUN.

59:25THE TYRANNICAL PEOPLE WOULD HAVE

59:28CREEP IN WITH PROPAGANDA AND TRY

59:30TO CONVINCE YOU TO BELIEVE

59:31CERTAIN THINGS AND THROUGH THAT

59:33PROPAGANDA YOU WOULD BEGIN TO

59:35BELIEVE YOUR SPEECH ISN'T WORTHY

59:36SO YOU WOULD NOT SPEAK ON

59:39THINGS.

59:39WITH THAT WOULD COME YOUR WANT

59:43TO RIGHTS.

59:44WITH THAT PROPAGANDA, I WANT TO

59:46MAKE SURE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND,

59:48ESPECIALLY FOR THE CITIZENS OF

59:51ALBUQUERQUE, AS THAT CREEPS IN

59:53EVENTUALLY THE PEOPLE WOULD NOT

59:55MEET.

59:55THAT'S YOUR RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE.

59:57THIS IS LITERALLY RIGHT DOWN THE

59:59LINE.

59:59THEY WOULD MAKE YOU BELIEVE

1:00:01SOMETHING AND THEN YOU WOULDN'T

1:00:03SPEAK ABOUT IT, YOU WOULDN'T

1:00:05WRITE ABOUT IT, YOU WOULDN'T

1:00:07MEET ABOUT IT.

1:00:07THROUGH ALL OF THAT YOU WOULDN'T

1:00:09EVEN PETITION YOUR GOVERNMENT.

1:00:13THAT'S WHAT THE FOUNDERS HAD IN

1:00:14MIND WHEN THEY WROTE THE FIRST

1:00:16AMENDMENT.

1:00:16IT ISN'T THE FACT IT'S JUST LAW

1:00:17AND IT'S OUR RIGHT, IT'S

1:00:19PROTECTION OF THE DUE PROCESS AS

1:00:20WELL.

1:00:20IF THEY CAN GET YOU NOT TO

1:00:22PETITION YOUR GOVERNMENT AND NOT

1:00:25ACTUALLY FILE SOMETHING OR LOOK

1:00:27FOR WAYS TO RESOLVE THE MATTERS,

1:00:29AT THAT POINT IF THEY TAKE YOUR

1:00:31FIRE ARGUMENTS THAT'S THE SECOND

1:00:32AMENDMENT AND THE THIRD

1:00:33AMENDMENT THEY COME IN YOUR

1:00:35HOUSE, AND FOURTH AMENDMENT THEY

1:00:36SEARCH YOU UNREASONABLY, SEIZE

1:00:38YOUR STUFF AND SEIZE YOU.

1:00:40FIFTH AMENDMENT, THERE'S A LOT

1:00:41OF THINGS IN THERE THEY WOULD

1:00:43DO.

1:00:43AND SIXTH, SEVENTH, EIGHTH,

1:00:46THAT'S THE COURT.

1:00:47AND THE NINTH AMENDMENT IS YOUR

1:00:49NATURAL RIGHTS AND THEY'LL TREAT

1:00:51YOU LIKE A DOG.

1:00:53AND I WANT TO BRING THAT OUT

1:00:55SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I WANT YOU

1:00:56TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOUR RIGHTS

1:00:58ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE.

1:01:00YOU SHOULD ALWAYS EXERCISE THEM.

1:01:01THANK YOU SO MUCH.

1:01:03>> TAD, FOLLOWED BY FRANCESCO.

1:03:13LETTER OF INTRODUCTION IT'S ON

1:03:14THE CONSENT TO DEFER.

1:03:16IT'S NOT THAT WE VOTED ON IT.

1:03:21WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR

1:03:23BILL IN THE FUTURE.

1:03:24>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU FOR THE

1:03:26CLARIFICATION, COUNCILOR BASSAN.

1:03:27>> FRANCESCO FOLLOWED BY MIGUEL.

1:03:33>> OVERHEAD, PLEASE.

1:03:51-- IS A FANCY WAY OF SAYING

1:03:54CORRUPT PIECE OF SHIT.

1:03:56WHEN AN INSTITUTION SEES AN

1:04:00ABUSER WITHIN THEIR ENVIRONMENT

1:04:02BREAKING THE LAW.

1:04:05THEY CAN'T TURN A BLIND EYE

1:04:07WHILE DISGUISED AS HONORABLE

1:04:10AGENTS OF THE LAW.

1:04:11WHEN THAT INSTITUTION FAILS TO

1:04:12HOLD AN ABUSER ACCOUNTABLE FOR

1:04:16THE HARM THEY CAUSE, THEY'RE

1:04:17COMPLICIT.

1:04:18WHICH IS A FANCY WAY OF SAYING

1:04:22THEY'RE FUCKING ASSHOLES, AND

1:04:28JUST AS BAD AS THE CORRUPT PIECE

1:04:29OF SHIT ABUSER.

1:04:31I HAVE A CEASE AND DESIST

1:04:33PRINTOUT FOR ALL OF YOU.

1:04:34RECEIPT BE NOTED.

1:04:37DIRECTOR PADILLA, AND CITY

1:04:41ATTORNEY BOONE.

1:04:45>> MIGUEL, FOLLOWED BY LISA.

1:04:55>> HOW ARE YOU DOING, STAFF?

1:04:56TODAY I'M GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT

1:04:59SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

1:04:60A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT CARE

1:05:01ABOUT IT.

1:05:02SOME MIGHT.

1:05:02WHAT I'M GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT --

1:05:05A LOT OF THINGS ARE GOING UP IN

1:05:07PRICE, HIGHER AND HIGHER, AND

1:05:08HIGHER.

1:05:09AND A LOT OF OUR BUSINESSES ARE

1:05:10SHUTTING THEIR DOORS FOR LACK OF

1:05:14SUPPORT.

1:05:15MOSTLY THE RESTAURANTS ARE

1:05:16HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS RIGHT

1:05:18NOW.

1:05:18AND A LOT OF THEM ARE GOING UP

1:05:20HIGHER AND HIGHER ON THEIR

1:05:21PRICES AND PUTTING NOTHING ON

1:05:23THE PLATE.

1:05:24THE GOOD RESTAURANTS THAT YOU

1:05:26CAN GO AND SPEND MONEY AND HAVE

1:05:28SOME FUN IS GOLDEN CORRRAL AND

1:05:31THE CHINESE RESTAURANT, HONG

1:05:34KONG.

1:05:34BUT THERE ARE A FEW RESTAURANTS

1:05:36THAT HAVE MADE THEIR RESTAURANT

1:05:38INTO A BAR AND RESTAURANT AND

1:05:45BANDIDO, EVERY SUNDAY THEY SELL

1:05:47THEIR MENUDO FOR $13 ALL YOU CAN

1:05:50EAT BECAUSE THEY MAKE MONEY ON

1:05:52LIQUOR.

1:05:52ANOTHER GOOD RESTAURANT IS NUEVO

1:05:55MEXICO AND WHATEVER YOU ORDER

1:05:57AND WHATEVER YOU PAY YOU GET A

1:05:59GOOD PLATE FULL OF FOOD.

1:06:01AND HAVE SOME FUN.

1:06:04ANOTHER RESTAURANT THAT I ENJOY

1:06:06A LOT, WHICH IS ON BRIDGE AND

1:06:10GOFF BECAUSE THEY DO TWO THINGS

1:06:12NO OTHER RESTAURANT IN

1:06:14ALBUQUERQUE DOES.

1:06:14NUMBER ONE, THEY MAKE THEIR OWN

1:06:21CHICHARONNES IN THEIR

1:06:23RESTAURANT.

1:06:23ALL THE OTHERS HIRE SOMEBODY

1:06:26ELSE TO BRING THEM IN.

1:06:28AND THEY ALSO -- THE ONES ON

1:06:33GOFF AND BRIDGE, EL CANTADO DOES

1:06:39THEIR OWN.

1:06:40IF YOU'RE A POLICE OFFICER,

1:06:42FIREFIGHTER, OR MILITARY, THEY

1:06:43TAKE 20% OFF YOUR PLATE.

1:06:45THIS IS NOT A RESTAURANT THAT

1:06:47HAS THREE OR FOUR RESTAURANTS IN

1:06:49ALBUQUERQUE.

1:06:50THEIR FOOD IS VERY TASTY.

1:06:52AND THEY DO A LOT OF WORK TO

1:06:55MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME.

1:06:58I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE

1:06:59OUT THERE THAT DON'T HAVE ENOUGH

1:07:01MONEY TO EAT.

1:07:06>> LISA FOLLOWED BY ROGER.

1:07:12>> COUNCILOR PEÑA, CITY

1:07:14COUNCILORS, GOOD EVENING.

1:07:15HOW CRUEL AND MORALLY

1:07:17REPREHENSIBLE TO CRIMINALIZE

1:07:19POVERTY.

1:07:20COUNCILORS, I HOLD THIS DAIS AND

1:07:21OUR MAYOR AS A WHOLE RESPONSIBLE

1:07:23FOR MAKING HOMELESSNESS MORE

1:07:25DANGEROUS AND NOT SOLVING IT.

1:07:27ARRESTS CREATE CRIMINAL RECORDS,

1:07:29COMPOUND TRAUMA AND PAK IT

1:07:31HARDER FOR VONABLE PEOPLE TO GET

1:07:34IDs AND JOBS AND HOUSING.

1:07:36IT COSTS MORE TO FUND MAYOR

1:07:38KELLER SQUAD OF 17 OFFICERS, I

1:07:40LEARNED ABOUT THIS A WEEK AGO,

1:07:42THERE'S A SQUAD OF 17 OFFICERS

1:07:44TARGETING UNHOUSED PEOPLE AND

1:07:46THAT IS NOT ADDRESSING THE

1:07:48ACTUAL CRISIS.

1:07:49WE HAVE IN COMPARISON 14

1:07:52DETECTIVES INVESTIGATING MURDERS

1:07:53AND RAPES IN ALBUQUERQUE.

1:07:55BUT WE HAVE 17 OFFICERS ASSIGNED

1:07:57TO POLICING POVERTY.

1:07:59THINK ABOUT THAT.

1:08:04SWEEPS DISRUPT MEDICATIONS,

1:08:06INTENSIFY TRAUMA, AND WE PUNISH

1:08:09PEOPLE FOR BEHAVIORS THAT TRAUMA

1:08:11WORSENS.

1:08:12MDC IS A NAIL.

1:08:15-- JAIL NOT A SHELTER.

1:08:1823 HOURS IN A CELL FOLLOWED BY

1:08:20RELEASE ON THE STREETS WHICH IS

1:08:21WHAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE WE

1:08:23DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MDC OFFICERS.

1:08:25GO OUT THERE TO MDC AND SEE IT

1:08:27FOR YOURSELF.

1:08:28THEY PUT THEM IN CELLS.

1:08:30THEY HAVE TO STAY IN THE CELLS

1:08:32BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET OUT.

1:08:34THEY'RE 23 HOURS IN A CELL.

1:08:36IMAGINE YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T

1:08:37HAVE YOUR MEDICATION, IT'S

1:08:41TRAUMATIC.

1:08:42WE'RE RECREATING MORE TRAUMA.

1:08:43WHEN THEY GET OUT, THEY'RE GOING

1:08:45TO MORE DRUGS.

1:08:46I DEMAND A WINTER MORATORIUM ON

1:08:48SWEEPS.

1:08:49YOU CAN DO THAT YOU COULD

1:08:54SPONSOR AN EMERGENCY TEMPORARY

1:08:57ORDINANCE.

1:08:58WE HAVE PLANS FOR THE WINTER.

1:08:59SOME OF YOU ARE HELPING WITH

1:09:01THAT.

1:09:01I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ALL TO

1:09:03PUBLICLY SAY TO THIS MAYOR, WE

1:09:05NEED TO FIND A DIFFERENT

1:09:06SOLUTION THAN INCARCERATING

1:09:08THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR ON THE

1:09:10STREET.

1:09:11YES THEY HAVE BAD BEHAVIORS.

1:09:14WE CAN HELP WITH THAT.

1:09:16STOP KICKING THIS DOWN THE ROAD.

1:09:21>>COUN. PEÑA: VICE PRESIDENT

1:11:06YOU DO HAVE A WINTER PLAN FOR

1:11:08MOVING INTO -- YOU DON'T NEED TO

1:11:11ANSWER IT.

1:11:11IF YOU WOULD EMAIL IT TO US, I'M

1:11:22PLAN WHICH INCLUDES EXTENSIVE

1:11:25TRANSPORTATION ADDITIONS AND

1:11:28OUR COMMUNITY.

1:11:31>>COUN. CHAMPINE: PART OF THE

1:11:31PLAN, WOULD YOU ALSO INCLUDE

1:11:33COST ANALYSIS AS FAR AS WHERE

1:11:34THE MONEY IS COMING FROM IF

1:11:39>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

1:11:51OPERATIONS THAT REQUIRES AS

1:11:53WELL.

1:11:53AS WE ALL KNOW, WE HAVE

1:11:55SIGNIFICANT OUTSIDE FIRE ISSUES.

1:11:58OBVIOUSLY, WHICH IS WHY WE

1:11:59ENSURE WE'RE PROACTIVELY

1:12:06SHELTER SO FOLKS CAN BE WARM IN

1:12:07A SHELTER.

1:12:07>>COUN. CHAMPINE: THANK YOU,

1:12:08MADAM PRESIDENT.

1:12:09>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

1:12:11I'M SORRY, MR. SHANNON.

1:12:13THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

1:12:16YOU CAN PROCEED.

1:12:18>> COUNCILOR PEÑA, COUNCIL, I

1:12:22HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE STATUS

1:12:24OF TWO LARGE PROPERTIES IN THE

1:12:26CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE.

1:12:28NUMBER ONE, THE TALL BUILDING AT

1:12:32SAN MATEO AND CENTRAL AVENUE.

1:12:37THE LAST TWO THINGS I SAW OF

1:12:39THAT BUILDING WAS WHEN A

1:12:42PHOTO-OP WAS TAKEN BY A COUNCIL

1:12:47LADIES.

1:12:47AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT WAS DONE,

1:12:49THEY ANNOUNCED THAT BUILDING HAD

1:12:51BEEN CONDEMNED.

1:12:53CONDEMNED FOR VARIOUS REASONS

1:12:56WITHIN THE CITY AND THE STATE.

1:12:57PRIMARILY THE CITY.

1:12:59THE QUESTION NOW IS, WHAT'S OOB

1:13:01DONE WITH THAT BUILDING?

1:13:03WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

1:13:05WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE DONE?

1:13:06AND HOW IS IT GOING TO BE

1:13:08DEMOLISHED?

1:13:09WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A PUBLIC

1:13:14NOTIFICATION WHEN IT'S DECIDED

1:13:16TO DEMOLISH IT AND BY WHAT

1:13:19MEANS.

1:13:19IS IT GOING TO BE BROUGHT DOWN

1:13:21LIKE THEY DO IN A LOT OF PLACES

1:13:22OR WHAT?

1:13:23WE JUST WANT TO KNOW.

1:13:24IT'S A MATTER OF SAFETY.

1:13:26WE ALSO UNDERSTAND IT WAS

1:13:28CONDEMNED BECAUSE IT'S A HEALTH

1:13:29ISSUE.

1:13:30THE SECOND PROPERTY WE'RE

1:13:31CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE STATUS OF

1:13:34RENOVATION OF A FORMER WELLS

1:13:37FARGO BUILDING.

1:13:38WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THAT

1:13:39RENOVATION?

1:13:41WE WERE TOLD IT WAS GOING TO BE

1:13:4361 APARTMENTS, 42 BEDROOM

1:13:47APARTMENTS WITH STORES AND

1:13:49OFFICE SPACE ET CETERA.

1:13:51I'M PROBABLY ADDRESSING THE

1:13:52WRONG GROUP OF PEOPLE ABOUT

1:13:54THESE QUESTIONS.

1:14:00>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU FOR YOUR

1:14:01COMMENTS.

1:14:02WE HAVE YOUR CONTACT HERE.

1:14:03WE'LL SUPERSOMEBODY FROM THE

1:14:04DEPARTMENT

1:14:06WE'LL HAVE SOMEBODY FROM THE

1:14:07DEPARTMENT GIVE YOU A CALL.

1:14:10>> UP NEXT, WE HAVE SIMON

1:14:12FOLLOWED BY IAN.

1:14:24IAN FOLLOWED BY RENÉ.

1:14:28>> GOOD EVENING, MADAM

1:14:29PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE

1:14:30COUNCIL.

1:14:31I'M HERE TODAY TO REMIND

1:14:34EVERYBODY ABOUT THE JAVON CASE.

1:14:36IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE

1:14:40ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT

1:14:41LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION WHEN A

1:14:43BLACK MAN WAS FOUND HANGING ON A

1:14:46POLE.

1:14:46HIS FAMILY WAS NOT NOTIFIED FOR

1:14:51384 DAYS.

1:14:52ONCE AGAIN, THE FAMILY WAS NOT

1:14:54NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS FOR 384 DAYS

1:14:56AFTER IT HAPPENED.

1:14:58THERE'S A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT

1:15:00IT STILL HASN'T BEEN RELEASED.

1:15:02INCLUDING THE JOURNAL,

1:15:04PHOTOGRAPHS, AND EXAMINATION

1:15:05RESULTS.

1:15:05IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT

1:15:07THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER

1:15:08HANGINGS OF BLACK INDIVIDUALS

1:15:09AROUND THE COUNTRY.

1:15:13AND THEY HAVE GAINED NATIONAL

1:15:15ATTENTION.

1:15:15WHAT STRIKES ME ABOUT THIS CASE

1:15:17IS THERE'S BEEN A LACK OF

1:15:18TRANSPARENCY IN BOTH

1:15:20INVESTIGATIONS SO THE OFFICIAL

1:15:22INVESTIGATION FROM APD AT THE

1:15:23BEGINNING AND THE INDEPENDENT

1:15:27INVESTIGATION, SO I MENTIONED

1:15:28THE WELLS CASE.

1:15:30I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT

1:15:32THIS IS A POLICE DEPARTMENT IN

1:15:34ALBUQUERQUE.

1:15:34AND NOT MISSISSIPPI.

1:15:38UNFORTUNATELY, APD'S POOR

1:15:39RESPONSE WHEN THE BODY WAS

1:15:40ORIGINALLY FOUND COULD MEAN WE

1:15:42MIGHT NOT EVER REALLY KNOW WHAT

1:15:44HAPPENED.

1:15:44IF THIS CASE WAS MISHANDLED IN A

1:15:47WAY WHERE WE WON'T KNOW WHAT

1:15:49HAPPENED, WE NEED TO HOW TO

1:15:53CHANGE THE APD PROCESS.

1:15:55THE PEOPLE DESERVE ANSWERS.

1:15:57I WANT TO RECOGNIZE A COUPLE

1:15:59COUNCILORS DID A LOT OF WORK TO

1:16:01UNCOVER THE FACTS OF THE CASE

1:16:02WHEN INNEWS BROKE.

1:16:03IT WOULD BE GREAT IF A MEMBER OF

1:16:05THE COUNCIL TOOK A MOMENT NOW OR

1:16:08FUTURE MEETINGS TO ASK ABOUT THE

1:16:12STATUS OF THE INDEPENDENT

1:16:13INVESTIGATION.

1:16:14THANK YOU.

1:16:14>> RENÉ FOLLOWED BY ANAMI.

1:16:20>>COUN. PEÑA: COUNCILOR ROGERS,

1:16:22I'M SORRY.

1:16:23>>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MADAM

1:16:24PRESIDENT.

1:16:26IAN, WE DID PASS THE

1:16:29AFRICAN-AMERICAN ADVISORY BOARD

1:16:30WHO HAS A SUBCOMMITTEE FOR

1:16:31MISSING AND MURDERED BLACK

1:16:33FAMILY.

1:16:34THIS, ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF

1:16:36OTHER CASES, WILL BE REVIEWED BY

1:16:38THE BOARD.

1:16:39WE'RE LOOKING FOR FOLKS TO SERVE

1:16:40ON THAT SUBCOMMITTEE.

1:16:42I'D LOVE TO SEND YOU SOME

1:16:44INFORMATION AND GET YOU UPDATES

1:16:45ON SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE

1:16:47FOUND SINCE.

1:16:48WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SERVE

1:16:49ON THAT, IF YOU'RE WILLING.

1:16:51THANK YOU.

1:16:56>> GOOD EVENING.

1:16:58THANK YOU.

1:16:59I LIVE HERE ON THE WEST SIDE.

1:17:02LAST TIME I WAS HERE, THERE WAS

1:17:05A LOT OF NEGATIVITY TOWARDS

1:17:08NEIGHBORHOODS.

1:17:08I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT A LOT OF

1:17:12THAT WAS MISINFORMATION.

1:17:15AND WE'RE NOT THE BAD PEOPLE IN

1:17:18THE AREA.

1:17:18BECAUSE OUR INVOLVEMENT, WE'VE

1:17:20MADE THINGS A LOT BETTER AND WE

1:17:23PROTECTED OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.

1:17:29PERSONALLY, WE DON'T LIKE TO

1:17:31HAVE TO APPEAL CASES, BUT WE

1:17:32REALLY NEEDED TO IN ORDER TO

1:17:36PRESERVE SOME OF THE SPECIAL

1:17:37AREAS THAT WE HAVE ON THE WEST

1:17:39SIDE.

1:17:40IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET

1:17:43SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT

1:17:44TO IT.

1:17:44A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE

1:17:48HOW VALUABLE IT MEANS TO PEOPLE

1:17:52TO HAVE THESE.

1:17:53I KNOW THEY SAY WE HAVE A

1:17:55HOUSING CRISIS, BUT WE ARE

1:17:57BUILDING A LOT OF HOUSES ON THE

1:18:00WEST SIDE.

1:18:01SINGLE FAMILY, TOWN HOMES,

1:18:04APARTMENTS.

1:18:04WE'RE NOT APPEALING THOSE.

1:18:05WE'RE APPEALING THINGS THAT ARE

1:18:07NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES.

1:18:12WE'RE DEALING WITH A LOT OF

1:18:14WAIVERS AND VARIANCES.

1:18:16SOMETIMES WE DO HAVE TO APPEAL

1:18:17THESE THINGS IN ORDER TO PROTECT

1:18:20THE OPEN SPACE AREAS IN OUR

1:18:23NEIGHBORHOODS.

1:18:24SO, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT

1:18:26I'D LIKE TO SAY, BUT ONE OF THE

1:18:29THINGS ABOUT HOUSING

1:18:31AFFORDABILITY, IT'S A SHAME

1:18:34BECAUSE A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO

1:18:37WITH INFLATION.

1:18:38WITH THE LAND COST, CONSTRUCTION

1:18:40MATERIALS, AND LABOR COSTS.

1:18:44I DON'T THINK MAKING IT MORE

1:18:47DIFFICULT FOR MAYBEDS TO BE

1:18:49INVOLVED OR NOTIFIED OR BEING

1:18:51ABLE TO APPEAL THESE CASES --

1:18:54APPEAL THINGS -- IS GOING TO

1:18:56SOLVE THAT.

1:18:56I WOULD LIKE TO SIT DOWN AND

1:18:59HAVE MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS.

1:19:01BECAUSE I THINK IT NEEDS MORE

1:19:03DISCUSSION TO SOLVE IT.

1:19:05I JUST WANT TO BRING THAT TO

1:19:06YOUR ATTENTION.

1:19:09>> ANAMI FOLLOWED BY PATRICIA ON

1:19:17ZOOM.

1:19:17>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS,

1:19:19I WANT TO TALK ABOUT PUBLIC

1:19:22TRANSIT FOR A BIT BECAUSE I HAVE

1:19:24A NEW BAD HABIT OF LOCKING

1:19:26MYSELF OUT OF MY CAR AND HAVING

1:19:28TO WALK TO MY HOUSE TO GET MY

1:19:33KEYS.

1:19:36IT HAS TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO DO

1:19:40THAT OVER THE LAST MONTH I LOST

1:19:43SIX HOURS TO WALKING.

1:19:45THAT IS BECAUSE THE CLOSEST BUS

1:19:47STOP TO THE PLACE WHERE I'M

1:19:50STAYING IS AN HOUR AWAY.

1:19:54BY FOOT.

1:19:55I'M SIX FEET TALL.

1:19:56I WALK VERY QUICKLY.

1:19:58I DON'T HAVE A PHYSICAL

1:20:01DISABILITY.

1:20:02I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE

1:20:03LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE TO USE

1:20:05A WHEELCHAIR TO GET FROM THE BUS

1:20:08TO WHERE IT IS I'M STAYING.

1:20:12I WANT TO SUGGEST THAT A BUS

1:20:15ROUTE BE ADDED THAT GOES NORTH

1:20:16AND SOUTH ON TRAMWAY UP TO THE

1:20:21RESERVATION.

1:20:22YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF THE

1:20:24RESERVATION.

1:20:27I HAVE SO MUCH EXTRA TIME.

1:20:30I REALLY LIKE THE BUS DESIGN

1:20:32THAT IS BASED ON THE NATIVE

1:20:36POTTERY DESIGN.

1:20:37I LIKE IT SO MUCH THAT I

1:20:38ACTUALLY DO CARE THAT YOU KNOW

1:20:41IT'S GREAT.

1:20:42PLEASE DON'T PUT ADVERTISING ON

1:20:43THE BUSES.

1:20:46KEEP IT ART, NOT -- I COULDN'T

1:20:51THINK OF SOMETHING CLEVER.

1:20:52THANK YOU.

1:21:09THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF

1:21:12$500,000 HOMES FOR SALE.

1:21:14THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF $2,000

1:21:17A MONTH APARTMENTS FOR RENT.

1:21:19WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IN ABUNDANCE

1:21:28SAFE PLACES FOR UNHOUSED

1:21:30NEIGHBORS TO PARK A CAR OR PITCH

1:21:32A TENT.

1:21:33ALBUQUERQUE HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF

1:21:35VACANT LAND AND EMPTY BUILDINGS.

1:21:38WHY ARE WE NOT BUILDING

1:21:40AFFORDABLE HOUSING?

1:21:42ACCORDING TO FORMER LABOR

1:21:45SECRETARY, CONSTRUCTION SPENDING

1:21:57OTHER RESOURCES FROM ALL OTHER

1:33:20BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE.

1:33:23>>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU.

1:33:23THANK YOU SO MUCH.

1:33:26I THINK THE OTHER BIG POINT THAT

1:33:28I WANT TO MAKE ABOUT THIS

1:33:30APPROPRIATION IS THERE'S A BIG

1:33:32MISCONCEPTION IN THE COMMUNITY

1:33:33FOR THE FOLKS YOU SEE OUT IN THE

1:33:35COMMUNITY THAT THEY'RE NOT

1:33:36INTERESTED IN SERVICES.

1:33:38THESE ARE FOLKS ALREADY SEEKING

1:33:40SERVICES IN ONE OF OUR SHELTERS

1:33:42THAT WE'RE ALREADY RUNNING AND

1:33:44OPERATING.

1:33:45THEY WANT TO GET CONNECTED TO

1:33:47SERVICE FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE

1:33:49TREATMENT.

1:33:49RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE AS MANY

1:33:53CONNECTIONS TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE

1:33:54TREATMENT WHICH IS REALLY WHAT'S

1:33:55GOING TO HELP US MOVE THE NEEDLE

1:33:57ON ENDING HOMELESSNESS FOR

1:33:59FOLKS.

1:33:59GETTING THEM CONNECTED.

1:34:01AND WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT ON

1:34:03THIS DAIS.

1:34:04WE'RE NOT JUST HOUSING FOLKS AND

1:34:06SAYING, OKAY, GOOD LUCK.

1:34:08WE NEED YOU TO GET CONNECTED TO

1:34:10SERVICES.

1:34:11I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR THAT

1:34:13THOSE ARE GOING TO FOLKS WHO ARE

1:34:15ALREADY SEEKING HEALTH AND

1:34:16SEEKING SERVICES.

1:34:17RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE THE

1:34:20SERVICES CONNECTION WE SHOULD

1:34:22THROUGHOUT OUR WHOLE NETWORK.

1:34:24THAT'S THE ENTIRE NETWORK FOR

1:34:26HOUSING.

1:34:27I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR

1:34:29WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY.

1:34:30FIRST, WE HAD OUR FEDERAL

1:34:31GOVERNMENT PUT IT ON THE STATES

1:34:33TO DEAL WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND

1:34:35SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

1:34:36THEN THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO

1:34:39DISMANTLED THE MENTAL HEALTH AND

1:34:40SUBSTANCE ABUSE SYSTEM.

1:34:41COMPLETELY DISMANTLED IT AND PUT

1:34:43IT ON THE CITY.

1:34:44I THINK IN ADDITION TO DOING

1:34:46THIS -- IN MY DISTRICT, PEOPLE

1:34:48NEED HELP NOW.

1:34:49WE NEED CONNECTION TO SERVICES

1:34:52NOW.

1:34:53RIGHT NOW.

1:34:54I WOULD ALSO LIKE US AS A BODY

1:34:57TO BE SAYING THAT TO OUR STATE

1:35:00PARTNERS.

1:35:01WE NEED HELP.

1:35:01THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE HAS

1:35:04SPENT EVERY AVAILABLE FUNDING

1:35:06SOURCE WE CAN.

1:35:07STANDING UP WHOLE HOSPITALS AND

1:35:09STANDING UP SIX NETWORKS THAT

1:35:13NEVER EXISTED IN CITY

1:35:17GOVERNMENT.

1:35:17WE CAN'T GIVE OUR EMPLOYEES

1:35:18RAISES BECAUSE WE'RE OVER

1:35:20COMPENSATING SO MUCH.

1:35:24OBVIOUSLY -- AND THE COUNTY

1:35:26CALLING AN EMERGENCY IN OUR

1:35:27COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW FOR

1:35:29FENTANYL.

1:35:29LOOK, THAT'S AFFECTING MY

1:35:32DISTRICT -- SOME OF OUR

1:35:33DISTRICTS, AT A HIGHER RATE THAN

1:35:36OTHERS.

1:35:36I NEED HELP.

1:35:37THE OTHER THING THAT CAME UP

1:35:39DURING THE DISCUSSION IS THE

1:35:41DOLLAR AMOUNT WE SAID WE WEREN'T

1:35:43GOING TO SPEND OVER.

1:35:44WE RECORDED EVERY SINGLE

1:35:46SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING.

1:35:47EVERY SINGLE DISCUSSION THAT WE

1:35:49HAD PUBLICLY ABOUT THESE

1:35:52DOLLARS.

1:35:52WE NEVER MEANT TO TIE OUR HANDS

1:35:54TO SPENDING A CERTAIN AMOUNT PER

1:35:57YEAR.

1:35:58WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS THE

1:36:01ENTIRE PIECE OF THE MILLIONS OF

1:36:03DOLLARS WE'RE GETTING AS A WHOLE

1:36:04THAT 60% NEEDED TO GO TO

1:36:09TREATMENT, 40% TO TREATMENT.

1:36:10IT WASN'T A SPECIFIC DOLLAR

1:36:12AMOUNT PER YEAR THAT WE

1:36:13IDENTIFIED.

1:36:13IT WAS LOOKING AT THE TOTAL POT

1:36:15AND SAYING, WE WANT IT TO GO TO

1:36:18TREATMENT.

1:36:18AGAIN, I JUST HAVE TO REMIND US,

1:36:20WE'RE IN A CRISIS.

1:36:21BIGGER CRISIS THAN WE KNEW ABOUT

1:36:24AT THE TIME WE CAME UP WITH THIS

1:36:28PLAN.

1:36:29WE NEED TO BE WILLING TO WORK AS

1:36:30A TEAM TO RELOOK AT THE PLAN

1:36:33THAT WAME OUT OF THE LOCAL

1:36:37COORDINATING COUNCIL AND RELOOK

1:36:38AT THE PLAN.

1:36:39IF IT'S TYING OUR HANDS IN

1:36:42GETTING OUR HELP THAT WE NEED

1:36:44NOW, WE MUST RELOOK AT THE PLAN.

1:36:46IT SHOULD NOT BE A REASON TO NOT

1:36:47VOTE ON FUNDING TODAY THAT NEEDS

1:36:50TO BE HELD.

1:36:51I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR

1:36:53VOTE YES.

1:36:54TODAY IS VERY CLEAR.

1:36:55YOU'RE VOTING YES TO HELP ME

1:36:56WITH THE RESOURCES I NEED IN MY

1:36:59DISTRICT TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO

1:37:00THE MUCH-NEEDED RESOURCES THEY

1:37:02NEED FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

1:37:04YOUR VOTE NO TODAY IS CLEAR THAT

1:37:06WE'RE SAYING WE DON'T WANT TO

1:37:07GIVE THOSE SERVICES IN THIS WAY

1:37:10IN THIS FORMAT.

1:37:11I WOULD URGE YOUR SUPPORT

1:37:13BECAUSE I NEED HELP.

1:37:14MY DISTRICT NEEDS HELP.

1:37:16AND WE NEED IT NOW.

1:37:17NOT TOMORROW.

1:37:18THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

1:37:23>>COUN. PEÑA: THAT WAS YOUR

1:37:25OPEN.

1:37:26DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO

1:37:28SPEAK?

1:37:28THERE BEING NO ONE SIGNED UP TO

1:37:31SPEAK.

1:37:34COUNCILORS?

1:37:43IT WAS A CONTINUATION.

1:37:47I THINK I'LL JUST ADD -- WHAT

1:37:51YOU SAID IS -- DID YOU HAVE SOME

1:37:54COMMENTS?

1:37:54GO FIRST.

1:37:55>>COUN. CHAMPINE: THANK YOU,

1:37:57MADAM PRESIDENT.

1:37:58I JUST HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.

1:38:01I WANT TO TALK TO THE

1:38:03SUSTAINABILITY OF THE USE OF THE

1:38:05OPIOID FUND FOR RE-OCCURRING

1:38:11FUNDS.

1:38:11IS IT STILL $30 MILLION FOR

1:38:13OPERATIONS FOR GATEWAY FOR THE

1:38:15ENTIRE SYSTEM?

1:38:18>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

1:38:19CHAMPINE, A LITTLE UNDER THAT.

1:38:22PROBABLY $26 MILLION.

1:38:23CLOSE TO 30.

1:38:26>>COUN. CHAMPINE: OKAY.

1:38:27IN THE PAST, MADAM PRESIDENT,

1:38:30GATEWAY'S FUNDING IS NOT ONLY BY

1:38:34OPIOID, BUT ALSO FEDERAL, STATE,

1:38:37AND GENERAL FUND.

1:38:47>> WE HAVE GRANTS, EARMARKS TO

1:38:49BUILD SOME OF THE PROGRAMS.

1:38:50DEPENDING ON WHICH ONES, WE USE

1:38:52A VARIETY OF THINGS FROM

1:38:53CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN, TO

1:38:56OPERATIONS.

1:38:57>>COUN. CHAMPINE: MADAM

1:38:57PRESIDENT, IN FY28 HOW MUCH OF

1:38:59THE $30 MILLION WOULD YOU EXPECT

1:39:02WOULD BE OPIOID MONEY OR GENERAL

1:39:04FUND MONEY?

1:39:05DO YOU HAVE A BREAKDOWN?

1:39:10IS THE $30 MILLION ALL STILL

1:39:12OPIOID STATE AND FEDERAL?

1:39:21>> VICE PRESIDENT CHAMPINE, WE

1:39:26HAVE NOT DETERMINED ALL PATHS

1:39:28FOR FEDERAL FUNDING.

1:39:29THERE'S MAJOR CHANGES COMING TO

1:39:32FEDERAL GRANTS.

1:39:32WE HAD A MAJOR ASK FROM YOUR

1:39:35LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES TO ASK

1:39:36THE STATE FOR SUPPORT.

1:39:40FULL SUPPORT FOR THREE

1:40:01

1:40:02[ BRIEF BECAUSE IN CAPTIONS ]?

1:40:18>> TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT

1:40:19AS TO RECOVERY SUPPORT AND

1:40:22MULTIPLE SOURCES.

1:40:24WE WILL -- AS YOU ALL KNOW, LAST

1:40:26YEAR, AROUND DECEMBER, WE SAT

1:40:28WITH CITY COUNCIL AND TALKED

1:40:29THROUGH ALL OF THE COSTS AND

1:40:31WHAT WE PUT INTO ALL OF THE

1:40:38CAPITAL AND OPERATING DOLLARS

1:40:40AND MADE SURE WE ALL HAD CLARITY

1:40:42ON THIS WHERE THOSE DOLLARS WENT

1:40:44AND WHAT THEY'RE FOR.

1:40:45I WILL SAY THAT OUR INTENTION IS

1:40:48TO ENSURE THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM

1:40:50IS FULLY FUNDED WITHIN OUR

1:40:54OPERATING BUDGET.

1:40:55OUR PROPOSED BUDGET WOULD

1:40:57INCLUDE THAT FOR FY28.

1:41:00ALTHOUGH, WE WOULD OF COURSE

1:41:02WELCOME THE SUPPORT FROM OUR

1:41:05PARTNERS WE MENTIONED AND MODIFY

1:41:07OUR BUDGET TO ENSURE FUNDING

1:41:09SOURCES WOULD BE IDENTIFIED IF

1:41:11WE HAVE THEM.

1:41:13>>COUN. CHAMPINE: MADAM

1:41:14PRESIDENT, ACCORD TO THE

1:41:16DASHBOARD, THE MOST WE'RE GOING

1:41:17TO GET IS $7.9 MILLION FROM

1:41:21OPIOID FUNDING?

1:41:23IS THAT CORRECT?

1:41:24>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

1:41:26CHAMPINE, THAT IS WHAT WE'RE

1:41:28AWARE OF CURRENT SETTLEMENT

1:41:30AGREEMENTS.

1:41:31WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE NEW

1:41:32SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS COME TO

1:41:35FRUITION.

1:41:35UNTIL WE KNOW EACH ONE OF THOSE

1:41:39SETTLEMENTS, WE DO NOT ADD

1:41:41PREDICTIONS OR FORECASTS.

1:41:43THERE HAVE BEEN A NEW HANDFUL

1:41:46NOT IN THE ORIGINAL

1:41:47DOCUMENTATION.

1:41:48THAT'S OUR CURRENT FORECAST.

1:41:51IF I MAY, ONE OTHER, ALTHOUGH

1:41:55THERE ARE AN AGREEMENTS WITH

1:41:58PAYMENT SCHEDULES, THE COURTS

1:41:59HAVE ALLOWED FOR DIFFERENT

1:42:01TIMELINES ON SOME OF THOSE

1:42:03PAYMENTS BASED UPON ADDITIONAL

1:42:07AGREEMENTS THAT HAVE COME FROM

1:42:09THE ORGANIZATION.

1:42:12WHETHER IT'S FORECLOSURE

1:42:14SITUATION OR WHATEVER MAY BE

1:42:16COMING.

1:42:18AT THIS POINT, THOSE AGREEMENTS

1:42:19LAY OUT A TIMELINE WHEN YOU KNOW

1:42:21THEM.

1:42:22AND WE HAVE INCLUDED THEM.

1:42:25>>COUN. CHAMPINE: ONE LAST

1:42:27QUESTION.

1:42:27BASED ON THAT RESPONSE, I'M SURE

1:42:30THE OTHER COUNCILORS WOULD

1:42:32APPRECIATE THE SAME OF WHAT I'M

1:42:34GOING TO ASK, CAN I GET A

1:42:36WRITTEN SUSTAINABILITY PLAN OF

1:42:38HOW YOU EXPECT TO FULLY FUND

1:42:39THAT IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS?

1:42:42BY FUNDING SOURCE.

1:42:43LIKE A THREE-YEAR BREAKDOWN.

1:42:46>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

1:42:49CHAMPINE, WE CAN PROVIDE

1:42:54PROPOSED FUNDING MODELLINGS.

1:43:02THE PRIMARY FUNCTION DOLLARS ARE

1:43:05COMING FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

1:43:07WE CAN SHOW ANY POTENTIAL

1:43:09FUNDING WE'RE SEEKING.

1:43:10>>COUN. CHAMPINE: OKAY.

1:43:11I'D APPRECIATE THAT.

1:43:12THANK YOU.

1:43:14>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

1:43:16COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN.

1:43:16>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU,

1:43:18MADAM PRESIDENT.

1:43:19I THINK WE JUST HEARD SOMETHING

1:43:21REALLY IMPORTANT.

1:43:22I'D LIKE TO VERIFY IT.

1:43:24I HEARD YOU SAY THAT THE FUNDS

1:43:27FOR THE EXPENSES WILL BE

1:43:29INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET NEXT YEAR

1:43:30THAT IS SENT DOWN BY THE MAYOR?

1:43:33IS THAT CORRECT?

1:43:34>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

1:43:35FIEBELKORN, OUR INTENTIONS TO

1:43:37INCLUDE IN YOUR PROPOSED BUDGET

1:43:39FUNDING FOR THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.

1:43:41>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU.

1:43:42THAT IS REALLY GREAT NEWS.

1:43:43I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR THAT FOR A

1:43:45COUPLE YEARS NOW.

1:43:46I ASSUME THAT MEANS YOU DO IN

1:43:47FACT ASSUME THIS IS A RECURRING

1:43:49EXPENSE THAT WILL BE HAPPENING

1:43:51AGAIN NEXT YEAR?

1:43:52>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

1:43:55FIEBELKORN, I THINK WHAT WE WILL

1:43:58BE PROPOSING IS -- AS WE LEARN

1:44:00ABOUT THE PROGRAMS, WE WILL

1:44:02PROPOSE NEW PROGRAMMING, IF THAT

1:44:05MAKES SENSE, AND HAT IS WHY THE

1:44:08METRICS AND MEASURES ARE

1:44:11CRITICAL FOR MAKING THOSE

1:44:14DETERMINATION.

1:44:14WE'RE CONSISTENTLY HAVING TO

1:44:15CHANGE WHAT WE ADD INTO OUR

1:44:18SCOPES OR WHETHER WE MAKE

1:44:21THOSE -- THEY BECOME AN EXPENSE

1:44:24AGAIN.

1:44:24IT WILL BE BASED UPON THE

1:44:26OUTCOMES OF WHAT WE SEE.

1:44:28>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU.

1:44:34A FLUCTUATION IN A COST DOES NOT

1:44:35MEAN IT'S NOT RECURRING, IT

1:44:36MEANS IT'S RECURRING AND THERE'S

1:44:39FLUCTUATION.

1:44:39THERE'S LEGITIMATE ASSUMPTION ON

1:44:41MY PART AND EVERYBODY'S PART

1:44:44THAT IS WORKING ON THIS THAT

1:44:45WE'LL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE

1:44:47SERVICES AT THE GATEWAY CENTER

1:44:49THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR, THE

1:44:53FOLLOWING YEAR.

1:44:55THOSE ARE RE-OCCURRING.

1:44:56YOU CAN USE WHATEVER LANGUAGE

1:44:58YOU WANT TO TRY TO SCAMP PEOPLE

1:44:59WITH IT.

1:45:00THESE ARE RECURRING DOLLARS THAT

1:45:03WILL BE NEEDED AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

1:45:06AND WE JUST HEARD FROM THE CAO

1:45:09THAT THOSE WILL BE IN THE BUDGET

1:45:10THAT THE MAYOR SENDS DOWN FOR

1:45:12THIS BODY TO APPROVE OR CHANGE.

1:45:14THAT IS REALLY GOOD NEWS.

1:45:16BECAUSE I ALSO SUPPORT THE

1:45:18GATEWAY CENTER.

1:45:21I SUPPORT ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS

1:45:23AND PROJECTS.

1:45:24BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT US TO BE

1:45:26IN A POSITION WHERE WE HAVE A

1:45:28PROJECT THAT'S GOING ON AND WE

1:45:29DON'T HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT

1:45:32AND WE STOP DOING IT.

1:45:33HOW HORRIBLE WOULD IT BE IF WE

1:45:35HAD TO CLOSE DOWN THE GATEWAY

1:45:37CENTER PAUSE, OOPS, WE DIDN'T

1:45:41GIVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR IT.

1:45:43THAT IS WHY WE PUT THE

1:45:44REQUIREMENT IN THE OPIOID

1:45:46SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT THAT HAS

1:45:48BEEN UNDERWAY SINCE R-23-174

1:45:52THAT I WAS A SPONSOR OF.

1:45:56IT SAID WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL

1:45:58ABOUT HOW WE SPEND OPIOID FUNDS.

1:46:00WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT

1:46:02SETTING OURSELVES UP FOR

1:46:04FAILURE, BUT RATHER SETTING US

1:46:05UP FOR SUCCESS.

1:46:06I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH

1:46:08SAYING WE DIDN'T GET ENOUGH

1:46:09MONEY THIS YEAR AND WE NEED TO

1:46:11GO BEYOND WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THE

1:46:15OPIOID SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT THAT

1:46:16WE ALL AGREED TO IN R-25-128.

1:46:20I THINK WE SHOULD BE VERY CLEAR

1:46:22AND HONEST ABOUT THAT.

1:46:24AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE HAVE

1:46:26ADDITIONAL NEEDS THAT WE DID NOT

1:46:28BUDGET FOR AND WE'RE NOW ASKING

1:46:30TO GO BEYOND WHAT WAS ALLOWED IN

1:46:32OUR ORIGINAL AGREEMENT.

1:46:34I'M FINE WITH THAT.

1:46:35I'LL VOTE FOR THIS TONIGHT.

1:46:37BUT I DON'T LIKE HAVING THE

1:46:39ADMINISTRATION MAKE IT SOUND

1:46:41LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT IT'S

1:46:42NOT.

1:46:43WHAT WE'RE DOING IS SIGNING

1:46:46CONTRACTS THAT WILL BE CONTINUED

1:46:48YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR UNTIL

1:46:51WE HAVE ZERO HOMELESSNESS, WHICH

1:46:52IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANY TIME

1:46:54SOON.

1:46:54THAT IS A RECURRING EXPENSE.

1:46:57I DO EXPECT IT TO BE IN THE

1:46:59BUDGET THAT THE MAYOR SENDS DOWN

1:47:02TO THIS BODY NEXT YEAR.

1:47:03THANK YOU.

1:47:06>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

1:47:06NO OTHER QUESTIONS?

1:47:09OKAY.

1:47:09I JUST WANTED TO -- I HAVE AN

1:47:11AMENDMENT IN THE PACKET.

1:47:13THIS IS PROPOSED AMENDMENT -- IT

1:47:15DOESN'T HAVE AN A.

1:47:16I'LL SAY IT'S AUTOMATICALLY

1:47:18PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE.

1:47:23IT IS WITHOUT READING IT, THIS

1:47:28AMENDMENT PROPOSES TO REMOVE THE

1:47:32APPROPRIATION TO ALBUQUERQUE

1:47:33PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR THE SECOND

1:47:35YEAR OF THE ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC

1:47:37SCHOOLS CROSSROADS PROGRAM.

1:47:39I JUST WANTED -- JUST TO TALK A

1:47:42LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

1:47:45I THINK THE CHALLENGE WE'RE

1:47:47HAVING AND I THINK WHAT

1:47:48COUNCILOR ROGERS SAID SO

1:47:50ELOQUENTLY IS WE'RE REALLY

1:47:51STRUGGLING TO ENSURE THAT WE

1:47:56GET -- [ INAUDIBLE ] ALL OF A

1:48:00SUDDEN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE

1:48:02IS RESPONSIBLE.

1:48:03TO ME, NOT ONLY FOR THE CITY OF

1:48:05ALBUQUERQUE, BUT EVEN

1:48:06SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES BECAUSE

1:48:07PEOPLE FROM THROUGHOUT THE STATE

1:48:09OF NEW MEXICO COME TO

1:48:09ALBUQUERQUE FOR SERVICES.

1:48:13AFTER READING THIS CONTRACT AND

1:48:14LOOKING AT THE MONEY, WE'RE

1:48:17APPROPRIATING $1.8 MILLION TO

1:48:20APS.

1:48:20THEY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT BUDGET.

1:48:23I THINK THEY HAVE A 2.SOMETHING

1:48:28BILLION BUDGET.

1:48:29THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE PROGRAM.

1:48:30I KNOW THEY'RE PROBABLY DOING

1:48:32OUTSTANDING WORK.

1:48:33OF THE $1.8 MILLION, THEY STILL

1:48:37HAVE 656 REMAINING FROM THE

1:48:39FIRST YEAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN

1:48:42SPENT.

1:48:42I JUST TOOK A LITTLE DEEPER DIVE

1:48:44ON THAT.

1:48:45WHEN I LOOKED INTO IT, 865 HAS

1:48:50BEEN SPENT ON SALARY AND WAGES.

1:48:5213 ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

1:48:57I WENT FURTHER AND THERE'S

1:49:00$250,000 BEING SPENT ON WIRELESS

1:49:02VAPE DETECTORS IN SCHOOLS.

1:49:05AFTER DOING SOME ADDITIONAL

1:49:07RESEARCH, ALL OF THESE ARE IN

1:49:11HIGH SCHOOLS WITH THE EXCEPTION

1:49:13OF LA CUEVA.

1:49:16THERE ARE THREE MIDDLE SCHOOLS

1:49:20WHICH ARE IN UNDERSERVED AREAS.

1:49:25THIS IS THE OPIOID MONEY AND NOW

1:49:26WE'RE FURTHER CRIMINALIZING OUR

1:49:29YOUTH BY HAVING THESE VAPE

1:49:31DETECTORS IN THE BATHROOMS.

1:49:34I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A SERIOUS

1:49:37HEALTH ISSUE.

1:49:37IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE

1:49:39ADDRESSED.

1:49:40WHEN WE'RE BRINGING IN LAW

1:49:43ENFORCEMENT TO ADDRESS THESE

1:49:44THINGS -- I KNOW THEY'RE BEING

1:49:46REFERRED TO.

1:49:47I LEARNED ALSO THEY'RE BEING

1:49:48REFERRED TO CROSSROADS.

1:49:52I REALLY DON'T THINK IT'S AN

1:49:54APPROPRIATE USE OF THE MONEY.

1:49:56OBVIOUSLY, BEING PUT IN THREE

1:49:58MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT ARE

1:50:01UNDERSERVED SCHOOLS IS VERY

1:50:04CONCERNING TO ME.

1:50:05AND THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T

1:50:06USE ALL THEIR MONEY.

1:50:11THEY PURCHASED THEM.

1:50:12THEY PUT THEM IN.

1:50:13THERE WAS STUDIES.

1:50:15THERE'S AN ARTICLE IN THE NEW

1:50:17YORK TIMES ABOUT HOW THIS IS

1:50:18REALLY CREATING PROBLEMS.

1:50:21YOU HAVE A STUDENT WHO GETS

1:50:24CAUGHT FOR VAPING.

1:50:25YES, THEY GET TO DO CROSSROADS,

1:50:28PUT WHEN THEY'RE IN THE SAME

1:50:30RESTROOM AND INCIDENT, THEY FIND

1:50:31OTHER THINGS THAT MAY TRIGGER

1:50:34SOMETHING ELSE.

1:50:35WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING THEM

1:50:37THESE POSITIONS.

1:50:40I THINK APS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU

1:50:43HAVEN'T SPENT WHAT YOU ALREADY

1:50:46HAD I THINK THEY -- BEFORE

1:50:47APPROPRIATING ADDITIONAL

1:50:49SETTLEMENT DOLLARS, COUNCIL

1:50:51SHOULD ANY WHETHER THOSE

1:50:52REMAINING FUNDS ARE COMMITTED

1:50:53AND WHAT THEY'LL PURCHASE AND

1:50:55WHAT ARE THE OUTCOMES.

1:50:57THESE ARE FINITE DOLLARS WE

1:51:00HAVE.

1:51:01I BELIEVE THAT SINCE WE'RE

1:51:02TRYING TO JUST FULLY FUND THE

1:51:06GATEWAY, OBVIOUSLY, WHETHER

1:51:09CROSSROADS IS A GOOD PROGRAM OR

1:51:10NOT, IT'S JUST A CHALLENGE WHEN

1:51:12WE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE

1:51:14HAVE WITHIN THE CITY OF

1:51:15ALBUQUERQUE.

1:51:16AND WE'RE FUNDING THESE

1:51:17ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS.

1:51:19WHETHER IT PASSES OR NOT, THE

1:51:24AMENDMENT, COUNCILOR ROGERS I

1:51:24THINK YOUR BILL IS GOOD.

1:51:26IT'S JUST THAT I HAVE SOME

1:51:28SERIOUS CONCERNS.

1:51:29I'D LOVE TO REMOVE IT AND HAVE

1:51:31ANOTHER CONVERSATION WITH APS

1:51:34ABOUT A LONG-RANGE PLAN.

1:51:38THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO SUSTAIN IT

1:51:40AFTER THREE YEARS.

1:51:41I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WHERE IT

1:51:43SHOWS THEY MADE STRIDES IN

1:51:48SUSTAINING THE PROGRAM.

1:51:49I HEARD THEY'RE LOOKING FOR

1:51:51ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS IN THE

1:51:52FUTURE.

1:51:53WITH THAT, DID I MOVE IT?

1:51:55I DID MOVE IT.

1:51:57THERE'S A MOTION, SECOND BY

1:52:01COUNCILOR BASSAN.

1:52:04COUNCILOR LEWIS.

1:52:06>>COUN. LEWIS: MADAM PRESIDENT,

1:52:07I JUST ASK THE ADMINISTRATION IF

1:52:10THEY HAVE AN OPINION ON THIS

1:52:13AMENDMENT.

1:52:13>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

1:52:17LEWIS, I THINK THAT IT'S A TOUGH

1:52:19SITUATION TO BE IN.

1:52:21I KNOW THAT APS HAS APPROVED A

1:52:23BUDGET AND HAS PLAN FOR THE

1:52:25FISCAL YEAR.

1:52:26I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL KNOW

1:52:30FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE WE DID NOT

1:52:32CONTINUE THE FUNDING FOR THE

1:52:33SECOND FISCAL YEAR.

1:52:34THE RESOLUTION YOU PASSD FOR

1:52:36APPROPRIATING THE DOLLARS IS

1:52:38VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT 1.8 FOR YEAR

1:52:41ONE, AND 1.5 FOR YEAR TWO.

1:52:44THE LANGUAGE READS THAT IT'S NOT

1:52:47AFFECTIVE TO ROLL THOSE DOLLARS

1:52:48WITHOUT ADDICTION BY ALL OF YOU.

1:52:51IT'S POLICY DECISION YOU ALL

1:52:52MAKE FOR APPROPRIATING DOLLARS.

1:52:55WE DID HAVE MULTIPLE BACK AND

1:52:57FORTH DISCUSSIONS WITH APS WITH

1:53:00THE REQUEST BY THEM FOR US TO

1:53:02EXTEND THOSE DOLLARS INTO YEAR

1:53:04TWO.

1:53:06WE HELD THAT IT IS APPROPRIATING

1:53:07DECISION THIS BODY.

1:53:12WE HAD MULTIPLE DISCUSSIONS AT

1:53:17LGCC.

1:53:17MY POSITION IS ONE THAT I

1:53:18BELIEVE THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE

1:53:20NEEDS TO BE FUNDING OUR

1:53:22PROGRAMS.

1:53:22WE HAVE 1100 PEOPLE IN OUR CARE

1:53:25EVERY NIGHT POTENTIALLY SEEKING

1:53:27FUNDS FROM THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT

1:53:29FUNDS.

1:53:30MY POSSESSION, I'M A VOTING

1:53:32MEMBER ON LGCD ON BEHALF OF

1:53:34MAYOR KELLER.

1:53:35I HAD CONCERNS FROM THE

1:53:37BEGINNING ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND

1:53:38THE EFFICACY OF THE PROGRAM FOR

1:53:41TRULY FOCUSED PREVENTION AND

1:53:43INTERVENTION RELATED TO OPIOID

1:53:44USE DISORDER.

1:53:47THAT IS A LONG-WINDED ANSWER OF

1:53:50I THINK IT'S YOUR ALL'S DECISION

1:53:52OF WHAT YOU THINK IS AN

1:53:55APPROPRIATE USE OF OPIOID

1:53:56SETTLEMENT FUNDS.

1:53:57I THINK THE VAPE INSTALLATION

1:53:59DISCUSSION HAS PIN -- BEEN ONE

1:54:03THAT CAME UP MULTIPLE TIMES.

1:54:04I HAVE CONCERNSB ABOUT WHAT

1:54:06EFFECTIVENESS IT'S HAVING FOR

1:54:08THE INTENT OF THE DOLLARS.

1:54:11>>COUN. LEWIS: DO YOU HAVE

1:54:12PREFERENCE ON THE AMENDMENT?

1:54:14>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

1:54:17LEWIS, I SUPPORT THE COUNCILOR'S

1:54:20POSITION ON THE CONCERNS ABOUT

1:54:21THE APPLICATION OF THE DOLLARS.

1:54:24I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A

1:54:26DECISION -- A RECOMMENDATION --

1:54:30ON THIS BILL BECAUSE NUANCED

1:54:32BASED UPON THE VALUES OF THE

1:54:34FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN

1:54:38PARTICIPATING.

1:54:46>>COUN. PEÑA: COUNCILOR BACA.

1:54:47>>COUN. BACA: THAT WAS A GREAT

1:54:50NON-ANSWER.

1:54:51THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

1:54:52YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT THE

1:54:54GATEWAY AS IF IT'S THIS LARGE

1:54:58AMORPHOUS ENTITY.

1:55:02IT'S NOT.

1:55:03THERE'S FIVE CENTERS.

1:55:05THERE'S MULTIPLE PROGRAMS.

1:55:06SOME OF THEM WORK JUST THE WAY

1:55:08THEY SHOULD.

1:55:08SOME OF THEM ARE WORKING

1:55:10FANTASTIC.

1:55:10SOME OF THEM ARE MID.

1:55:11AND SOME OF THEM DON'T DO WHAT

1:55:12THEY SHOULD BE DOING, THEY'RE

1:55:15T

1:55:17TERRIBLE.

1:55:17WE NEED TO IMPROVE AND REPLACE

1:55:19THOSE AREAS.

1:55:20TO TALK ABOUT WE'RE ALWAYS GOING

1:55:22TO HAVE AN APPROPRIATION FOR

1:55:23GATE WAY IS MISLEADING.

1:55:25WE SHOULD ALWAYS REEVALUATE

1:55:26EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING.

1:55:27IF WE'RE DOING THE JOB RIGHT AT

1:55:30SOME POINT WE WOULDN'T NODE TO

1:55:32RECUR FUNDING.

1:55:34THAT'S ITS OWN CONVERSATION.

1:55:35I BRING THAT UP BECAUSE WHEN IT

1:55:39COMES TO THESE DOLLARS A LOT OF

1:55:41FOLKS PUT A LOT OF TIME IN THIS

1:55:45PLAN.

1:55:45COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN AND

1:55:48COUNCILOR ROGERS.

1:55:49I GOT AN APPROVAL FROM LGCC.

1:55:51I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULDN'T MAKE

1:55:53SUCH A BIG DECISION THAT WILL

1:55:54AFFECT ANOTHER GOVERNMENTAL

1:55:56ENTITY.

1:55:57MORE THAN THAT, THE BEST WAY TO

1:56:00EVENTUALLY NOT NEED TO FUND

1:56:04GATEWAY IS TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE

1:56:07DON'T GET ON FENTANYL AND

1:56:11OPIOIDS.

1:56:12I REMEMBER BEING A FRESHMAN

1:56:13TEACHER AND THINKING IT'S

1:56:15ALREADY TOO LATE FOR THE KIDS.

1:56:19I WORKED AT THE LOW INCOME

1:56:22SCHOOL.

1:56:22IT'S ALL THE STEREOTYPES YOU SEE

1:56:26ON THE MOVIES.

1:56:26APS SHOULD REALLY GET THEIR ACT

1:56:28TOGETHER.

1:56:28I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE THEM A

1:56:29FREE PASS EITHER.

1:56:31I DID SPEAK TO SOME OF THE BOARD

1:56:36MEMBERS.

1:56:37K-9 PROGRAMS REALLY DO MATTER.

1:56:39THAT'S STEP ONE.

1:56:40AND A VERY BIG STEP IN MAKING

1:56:41SURE WE'RE ADDRESSING OUR

1:56:44HOMELESSNESS AND OPIOID AND

1:56:45ADDICTION ISSUES WITHIN THE

1:56:46CITY.

1:56:47I THINK WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING

1:56:48ABOUT THIS.

1:56:49I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE WAY TO

1:56:50DO IT.

1:56:50I DON'T SUPPORT THIS AMENDMENT.

1:56:51THANK YOU.

1:56:55>>COUN. PEÑA: COUNCILOR BASSAN.

1:56:56>>COUN. BASSAN: MADAM PRESIDENT,

1:56:57I HAD SPOKEN A LITTLE BIT ON

1:56:59THIS -- NOT THIS AMENDMENT, PER

1:57:01SE, AT LGCC, BUT SOME OF THE

1:57:03CONCERNS LAST WEEK BECAUSE YOU

1:57:06MENTIONED IN YOUR AMENDMENT THAT

1:57:09LA CUEVA DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING,

1:57:13YET LA -- LET ME ALSO SAY, I'M

1:57:15NOT TRYING TO GET ANYONE IN

1:57:17TROUBLE AT LA CUEVA.

1:57:19I'M NOT TRYING TO DO HARM TO

1:57:21TEACHERS OR ADMINISTRATORS OR

1:57:22OFFICERS AND SECURITY, OR

1:57:25WHATEVER.

1:57:25I'M VERY HAPPY WITH MY KIDS

1:57:28GOING THERE.

1:57:29AT THE SAME TIME, THEY HAVE VAPE

1:57:32DETECTORS.

1:57:32I GUESS I JUST WANT TO TAKE A

1:57:34MINUTE TO SAY THAT THIS FUNDING

1:57:36HAS BEEN USED TO PURCHASE VAPE

1:57:39DETECTORS TO GO INTO SCHOOLS,

1:57:41HOWEVER IN CONVERSATIONS WITH

1:57:43SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES, OR

1:57:45ANOTHER ONE THAT -- THERE'S

1:57:47OTHER SCHOOLS THEY HAVE THE VAPE

1:57:49DETECTORS AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN

1:57:51INSTALLED.

1:57:51WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT EQUITY,

1:57:53WE'RE NOT TALKING CAPABILITY.

1:57:55AND I'M THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT

1:57:57I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO BE

1:57:59THE GREATEST THING EVER.

1:58:01I AGREE WITH COUNCILOR PEÑA WHEN

1:58:04SHE SAYS THERE'S A FEAR FOR SOME

1:58:06KIND OF ENFORCEMENT TO PENALIZE

1:58:11STUDENTS.

1:58:11I CAN SAY FROM WHAT MY CHILDREN

1:58:13HAVE REPORTED TO ME WHEN THEY

1:58:14COME HOME, NOTHING HAPPENS.

1:58:17SECURITY GOES IN AND SAYS

1:58:20EVERYBODY OUT OF THE BATHROOM,

1:58:22GO TO CLASS.

1:58:23IS THAT WHAT WE SHOULD USE THE

1:58:24FUNDS ON?

1:58:25IS THAT A GOOD USE OF THE

1:58:27FUNDING THAT WE SHOULD BE USING

1:58:29TO HELP WITH OPIOID PREVENTION

1:58:32AND DIFFERENT SITUATIONS FOR

1:58:35BEHAVIORAL HEALTH IN THE CITY?

1:58:37I ALSO AM NOT EXCITED TO PULL

1:58:41MONEY AWAY FROM APS MID-YEAR,

1:58:43BUT I THINK THAT FROM WHAT

1:58:45YOU'RE PROPOSING IN THIS

1:58:47AMENDMENT AND WHILE SAYING IT'S

1:58:48ALL SCHOOLS BUT LA CUEVA, YET

1:58:52THEY HAVE IT AND IT WAS NOT

1:58:56USING SOME OF THE FUNDS.

1:58:57THAT IN ITSELF DOES NOT LINE UP.

1:58:59I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS BECAUSE

1:59:01NOW I'M LIKE VAPE DETECTORS ARE

1:59:03A WASTE OF MONEY.

1:59:05EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD

1:59:07A GOOD INTENTION.

1:59:10MY KIDS DON'T USE THE RESTROOM

1:59:13SOMETIMES BECAUSE THEY DON'T

1:59:14WANT TO GO IN THE BATHROOM.

1:59:15THAT'S NOT JUST MY KIDS, THERE'S

1:59:18OTHER KIDS.

1:59:19THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER

1:59:21SOLUTION.

1:59:21I THINK WE'RE WASTING THE FUNDS

1:59:22IN TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT

1:59:23IS A GOOD INTENTION.

1:59:27I DID VOICE THIS OPINION, SO I

1:59:31DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M NOT

1:59:33FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THE

1:59:34GOVERNMENT ENTES -- ENTITIES

1:59:37WORKING TOGETHER.

1:59:38WE SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER IF

1:59:39WE'RE GOING TO BE IN OUR OWN

1:59:42PICKLE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING IN

1:59:44OUR SITUATION WITH THE CITY WITH

1:59:45THE FUNDS WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH

1:59:48OF.

1:59:48EVEN THOUGH APS HAS LOT OF

1:59:51PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF, I'M

1:59:54GRATEFUL, BUT I DON'T THINK OUR

1:59:56NEEDS ARE ANY LESSER THAN

1:59:57THEIRS.

1:59:58THEREFORE, I FEEL COMFORTABLE IN

2:00:01SUPPORTING THIS AMENDMENT

2:00:02KNOWING THAT WE CAN ALL STILL

2:00:03TRY TO DO GOOD WITH THE MONEYS

2:00:05WE HAVE.

2:00:10>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

2:00:10COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN.

2:00:11>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU,

2:00:13MADAM PRESIDENT.

2:00:14WE'VE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT

2:00:15THE WIRELESS VAPE DETECTORS.

2:00:17I AGREE.

2:00:18I NEVER REALLY LIKED THAT PART.

2:00:20I DO WANT TO BRING US BACK TO

2:00:22WHAT THIS ACTUALLY WAS.

2:00:25THAT IS 7.47% OF THE FUNDING

2:00:29THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO APS.

2:00:33WHAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS

2:00:35FUNDING HAS BEEN USED FOR IS

2:00:40STAFFING UP THE MIDDLE SCHOOL

2:00:46CROSSROADS COUNSELORS AND

2:00:47BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNSELORS.

2:00:48I JUST WANT TO GIVE A FEW

2:00:50NUMBERS WE GOT FROM THE SCHOOL

2:00:51RECENTLY ON HOW THAT MONEY HAS

2:00:52BEEN USED.

2:00:53THEY HAVE NOT USED IT ALL.

2:00:55IT WAS HARDER TO STAFF UP THAN

2:00:57THEY ANTICIPATED.

2:00:58I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT

2:01:00SINCE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO STAFF

2:01:03UP DEPARTMENTS FOR QUITE SOME

2:01:04TIME HERE IN THE CITY.

2:01:05WITH THE STAFFING THEY HAVE BEEN

2:01:07ABLE TO DO, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL

2:01:09CROSSROADS COUNSELORS HAVE

2:01:12PROVIDED 1,251 SUBSTANCE

2:01:17PREVENTION CONTACTS.

2:01:18SERVING 1,020 KIDS.

2:01:22THEY HAVE HAD 293 PARENT

2:01:26INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM SESSIONS

2:01:29WITH A 76% NON-RECIDIVISM.

2:01:3776% OF THE KIDS WHO COMPLETED

2:01:39THE PROGRAMS WITH THEIR PARENTS

2:01:42DID NOT REOFFEND BY HAVING -- BY

2:01:45DOING DRUGS.

2:01:46THAT IS A LOT OF SUCCESS FOR

2:01:50THIS VERY BABY PROGRAM THAT HAS

2:01:52NOT EVEN REACHED ITS FULL

2:01:54POTENTIAL YET.

2:01:56THEY HAVE FACILITATED FIVE

2:02:00POSTOVER -- POST OVERDOSE

2:02:08RESPONSE.

2:02:09THEY HAVE GOTTEN ALL OF THE

2:02:11FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT THEY NEED

2:02:12BECAUSE OF THE FUNDING.

2:02:15THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNSELORS

2:02:16HAVE PROVIDED 6,028 INDIVIDUAL

2:02:20THERAPY SESSIONS TO 2,704

2:02:23STUDENTS.

2:02:24THEY HAVE COMPLETED 31 SUICIDE

2:02:29ASSESSMENTS.

2:02:3031 KIDS HAVE GOTTEN HELP.

2:02:32AND 738 FAMILY SUPPORT CONTACTS.

2:02:35FAMILIES WHO NEED HELP RIGHT

2:02:38NOW.

2:02:38I HEARD THAT OUR NEEDS ARE

2:02:40GREATER THAN THEIR NEEDS.

2:02:42THEY'RE ALL THE SAME NEEDS.

2:02:43THESE ARE THE KIDS THAT LIVE IN

2:02:45OUR COMMUNITY WHO NEED HELP TO

2:02:49STOP USING OPIOIDS, TO STOP

2:02:51USING OTHER DRUGS, OR TO NOT

2:02:53START USING DRUGS.

2:02:55THAT IS WHY WHEN WE WENT THROUGH

2:02:57THIS PROCESS AT THE LGCC WE

2:03:00BROUGHT FORWARD A PLAN THAT

2:03:03SPECIFICALLY SAYS WE'RE GOING TO

2:03:04GIVE HALF, THE COUNTY WILL GIVE

2:03:06HALF WERE WE'RE GOING TO FUND

2:03:08FOR THREE YEARS, THIS CROSSROADS

2:03:10PROGRAM, WITH THE FULL

2:03:12UNDERSTANDING THAT APS WILL THEN

2:03:14MAINTAIN THAT PROGRAM MOVING

2:03:16FORWARD.

2:03:16WE WILL NOT BE GIVING MORE

2:03:19MONEY.

2:03:19BUT WE'RE ABLE TO GET THEM

2:03:20KNOWING SO WE CAN SEE YOUNG

2:03:22PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO NEED

2:03:25HELP.

2:03:25WE CAN MAKE SURE THEY GET IT

2:03:27WITH THESE FUNDS.

2:03:29WE GIVE HALF.

2:03:29THE COUNTY GIVES HALF.

2:03:31IT WAS AN AGREEMENT THAT WE ALL

2:03:33MADE AND VOTED FOR.

2:03:35AND I WOULD REALLY, REALLY HATE

2:03:38TO SAY THAT OUR NEEDS AS A CITY

2:03:41DON'T INCLUDE YOUNG PEOPLE WHOSE

2:03:43LIVES ARE IN THE BALANCE.

2:03:47I URGE YOU TO NOT SUPPORT THIS

2:03:49AMENDMENT.

2:03:52>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

2:03:54COUNCILOR TELLES.

2:03:54>>COUN. TELLES: THANK YOU, MADAM

2:03:57PRESIDENT.

2:03:58I JUST WANT TO SAY A COUPLE

2:03:59QUICK THINGS.

2:04:03APS -- IT'S IN THE APS HANDBOOK.

2:04:06THEY DO NOT SUSPEND FOR

2:04:10NICOTINE.

2:04:11THEY DON'T OFTEN BOTHER LOOKING

2:04:12FOR NICOTINE.

2:04:15IT'S HARDER TO FIND WHAT THEY

2:04:16MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR.

2:04:21THAT'S IN THE HANDBOOK.

2:04:25IT'S TRUE, THE VAPE MACHINE

2:04:32HAVEN'T REALLY WORKED VERY WELL.

2:04:35I HAPPEN THAT RIO GRANDE HIGH

2:04:36SCHOOL HAS HAD THEIRS PURCHASED

2:04:38FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND THEY

2:04:41HAVE NEVER BEEN INSTALLED.

2:04:45IT HAS NOW BEEN BROUGHT TO MY

2:04:48ATTENTION THAT THEY CAN'T

2:04:49INSTALL THE ONES THEY PURCHASED

2:04:52BECAUSE THEY'RE OUT OF DATE AND

2:04:53THEY DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS TO

2:04:54ACTUALLY INSTALL THEM.

2:04:58THAT IS A CONCERN.

2:05:00I THINK THE OTHER BIG CONCERN I

2:05:02HAVE IN GENERAL WITH APS AS A

2:05:10WHOLE -- I THINK FAR TOO OFTEN

2:05:14APS DECISIONS OVERALL SEEM

2:05:17DRIVEN MORE BY A FEAR OF

2:05:20LITIGATION THAN WHAT'S BEST FOR

2:05:21STUDENT OUTCOMES.

2:05:26THEY TEND TO AVOID RISK INSTEAD

2:05:28OF PUTTING STUDENT NEEDS FIRST.

2:05:31THAT IS SEEN IN THE APS

2:05:34HANDBOOKS.

2:05:34YOU CAN PULL YOUR OWN APS

2:05:37HANDBOOK ALL YOU WANT AND YOU

2:05:38CAN SEE WHAT POLICIES HAVE

2:05:40CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

2:05:45AND IDENTIFY THIS IS A CLEAR

2:05:47CHANGE IN APS POLICY BECAUSE

2:05:49THEY DON'T WANT TO GET SUED, NOT

2:05:51PAUSE -- BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING

2:05:54TO IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES.

2:05:55ALL OF THAT SAID, I ALSO DON'T

2:05:57THINK WE SHOULD APPROVE THIS

2:05:58AMENDMENT BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY

2:06:00BEEN BUDGETED INTO THEIR LINE

2:06:04ITEM AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO

2:06:07CAUSE HANDFUL OF PROBLEMS AT

2:06:11THIS POINT.

2:06:13NOW, I'M NOT NECESSARILY OPPOSED

2:06:15TO REVISITING SOMETHING LIKE

2:06:17THIS DURING THE NEXT FISCAL

2:06:21YEAR.

2:06:22I THINK THAT IS A REALLY

2:06:23IMPORTANT THING TO REVIEW.

2:06:30THE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY IS

2:06:34THIS IS VERY MUCH A RECURRING

2:06:36EXPENSE.

2:06:37THIS IS VERY MUCH A RECURRING --

2:06:40IT'S TIED TO OPERATIONS.

2:06:43IT'S TIED TO GOVERNMENT CARRYING

2:06:46OUT WHAT THEY ARE PUTTING FORTH.

2:06:49IT IS A RECURRING EXPENSE.

2:06:59EVEN DECLININGING HOLD HARMLESS

2:07:01DISTRIBUTION EVERY YEAR IS

2:07:02BUDGETED AS NON-RECURRING

2:07:06REVENUE.

2:07:06SPECIFICALLY TO ENSURE THAT WE

2:07:08DON'T USE IT TOWARD

2:07:14NON-RECURRING EXPENSES.

2:07:15WE KNOW WHAT NON-RECURRING AND

2:07:17RECURRING EXPENSES ARE.

2:07:19I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BILL,

2:07:22BUT I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT

2:07:26ANOTHER ONE IF WE DON'T GET THIS

2:07:30RIGHT.

2:07:35WE ARE, BY LAW, OBLIGATED TO

2:07:38HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET.

2:07:43BY LAW.

2:07:43WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO

2:07:46THAT.

2:07:46OUR OWN BUDGET DOCUMENT SAYS

2:07:48THAT THIS RULE IS NOT REQUIRED

2:07:51BY STATUTE.

2:07:52IT'S A LONGSTANDING PRACTICE BY

2:07:55OUR BUDGET OFFICE.

2:08:00TO SAY THAT BECAUSE IT'S A

2:08:04ONE-TIME CONTRACT, EVEN THOUGH

2:08:06IT'S FOR ONGOING SERVICES, DOES

2:08:09THOUGHT MEAN IT'S NOT A

2:08:11RECURRING EXPENSE.

2:08:13IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS CONTRACT

2:08:17OR ANY CONTRACT, WHAT WOULD

2:08:21HAPPEN?

2:08:27MADAM CAO, DIRECTOR, IF WE

2:08:30DIDN'T EXTEND THIS CONTRACT OR

2:08:32ANY CONTRACT, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

2:08:34TO THESE SERVICES?

2:08:37>>COUN. ROGERS: MADAM PRESIDENT,

2:08:38ARE WE ON THE AMENDMENT OR BILL?

2:08:41>>COUN. TELLES: YOU'RE RIGHT.

2:08:42THANK YOU FOR REDIRECTING ME.

2:08:43THANK YOU.

2:08:46ANYWAY, I THANK YOU FOR

2:08:50REDIRECTING ME.

2:08:51I'LL ZIP IT.

2:08:52THANK YOU.

2:08:54>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

2:08:54COUNCILOR ROGERS.

2:08:56>>COUN. ROGERS: THANK YOU, MADAM

2:08:58PRESIDENT.

2:08:59ON THIS ONE, I AGREE WITH MY

2:09:03COLLEAGUE.

2:09:04BECAUSE APS HIRED COUNSELORS, I

2:09:06WOULD HATE TO THEN MAKE THIS

2:09:08DECISION WHERE THEY -- I HOPE

2:09:11NOT, THEY WOULD THEN HAVE TO

2:09:14LAYOFF COUNSELORS.

2:09:15IF THE SPONSOR OF THIS AMENDMENT

2:09:16WOULD BE OPEN TO CHANGING THE

2:09:18DOLLAR AMOUNT, I THINK IT'S

2:09:23ABSOLUTELY -- I AGREE ABOUT THE

2:09:25VAPE DETECTORS.

2:09:26I AGREE ABOUT HOW WE NEED TO

2:09:29RELOOK AT HOW WE'RE

2:09:30APPROPRIATING THIS.

2:09:31BUT I DO NOT THINK IT'S OKAY TO

2:09:35BLANKETLY TAKE AWAY ALL OF THE

2:09:36FUNDING BASED ON THE DASHBOARD.

2:09:38THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNSELORS

2:09:40SPENT $1.1 MILLION ON JUST THE

2:09:43BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNSELORS.

2:09:44NOT LOOKING AT ALL OF THE OTHER

2:09:47THINGS THAT WERE INCLUDED.

2:09:48WE KNOW HOW MUCH THEY SPENT ON

2:09:51COUNSELORS, MINUS WHATEVER ELSE

2:09:52WE WANT TO SUBTRACT.

2:09:54I THINK AT THE VERY LEAST WE

2:09:55NEED TO KEEP THE FUNDING FOR THE

2:09:59COUNSELORS.

2:10:00I OBVIOUSLY WANT TO KEEP IT

2:10:02INTACT FOR THEM UNTIL WE WORK

2:10:05WITH LGCC AND RENEGOTIATE THAT

2:10:10PLAN.

2:10:10I CAN'T SUPPORT THE AMENDMENT AS

2:10:14IS.

2:10:14>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

2:10:16I THINK THE STAFF -- IS THE

2:10:17STAFF WORKING ON AN ADDITIONAL

2:10:20AMENDMENT?

2:10:21OR CHANGES TO THIS AMENDMENT?

2:10:46>> WE'RE TAKING THE ORIGINAL

2:10:48$1.5 MILLION TO APS AND THEN

2:10:51SUBTRACTING THE UNSPENT AMOUNT

2:10:55YEAR ONE WHICH IS $656,321.

2:11:00AND ALSO SUBTRACTING $250,000

2:11:04FROM THAT AMOUNT.

2:11:05IS THAT ACCURATE?

2:11:09>>COUN. PEÑA: YES.

2:11:10>>COUN. ROGERS: THAT'S WHAT OUR

2:11:11SPONSOR OF THE AMENDMENT IS

2:11:14PROPOSING.

2:11:14I'M -- OBVIOUSLY, I WANT APS --

2:11:18US TO AGREE TO WHAT WE WERE

2:11:20GOING TO GIVE TO APS.

2:11:21I DON'T WANT THIS AMENDMENT TO

2:11:22GO THROUGH.

2:11:25THAT'S WHY I'M PROPOSING THIS.

2:11:27I DON'T WANT TO REMOVE ALL OF

2:11:29THE FUNDING FROM APS.

2:11:30>>COUN. PEÑA: YES.

2:11:31WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS THE

2:11:34UNSPENT AMOUNT FROM LAST YEAR

2:11:36WOULD REVERT BACK AND THEN THE

2:11:39250 FOR THE VAPE DETECTORS WOULD

2:11:41BE REMOVED.

2:11:41AND IT WOULD KEEP THE COUNSELORS

2:11:44INTACT.

2:11:45>>COUN. BACA: MADAM PRESIDENT, I

2:11:46CALL THE QUESTION ON THE

2:11:47AMENDMENT AS IS.

2:11:53>> MADAM PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE TO

2:11:54TAKE A VOTE ON THAT BEFORE YOU

2:11:56CAN DISCUSS ANYTHING ELSE.

2:11:58IT'S A HIGHER LEVEL AMENDMENT.

2:12:00>>COUN. PEÑA: I DIDN'T HEAR A

2:12:04MOTION.

2:12:08>>COUN. BACA: MOTION TO -- HOW

2:12:10DO YOU DO THAT?

2:12:12MOTION TO MOVE THE AMENDMENT AS

2:12:13IS.

2:12:15OR MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION

2:12:17ON THE AMENDMENT AS IS.

2:12:23>>COUN. PEÑA: THERE'S A SECOND

2:12:27BY COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN.

2:12:29[ ROLL CALL ].

2:12:36>>COUN. BACA: NO.

2:12:50-- MY VOTE IS A YES.

2:12:55>>COUN. BASSAN: NO.

2:12:58>>COUN. CHAMPINE: NO.

2:13:05>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: YES.

2:13:07>>COUN. GROUT: YES.

2:13:10>>COUN. LEWIS: YES.

2:13:12>>COUN. ROGERS: YES.

2:13:14>>COUN. TELLES: YES.

2:13:15>>COUN. PEÑA: NO.

2:13:18[ END ROLL CALL ].

2:13:20>> PASSES ON A 6-3 VOTE.

2:13:22>>COUN. PEÑA: WE'RE BACK ON THE

2:13:24AMENDMENT AS IT WAS PROPOSED

2:13:28ORIGINALLY.

2:13:36>> IT FAILED.

2:13:37IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SEVEN

2:13:40VOTE.

2:13:40>>COUN. PEÑA: OKAY.

2:13:41WE'RE BACK ON THE AMENDMENT TO

2:13:45THE AMENDMENT.

2:14:00>>COUN. BASSAN: MADAM PRESIDENT,

2:14:00WHILE WE WAIT FOR THAT, MAY I

2:14:03MAKE A COMMENT?

2:14:05>>COUN. PEÑA: SURE.

2:14:06>>COUN. BASSAN: MADAM PRESIDENT,

2:14:07I THINK WHETHER IT PASSED OR

2:14:09NOT, I APPRECIATED THAT

2:14:10COUNCILOR ROGERS WAS TRYING TO

2:14:11DO AN AMENDMENT TO AN AMENDMENT.

2:14:15IF WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO

2:14:17COLLABORATE, IT'S JUST A LITTLE

2:14:19BIT SURPRISING SOMETIMES WHEN

2:14:20WE'RE ALMS TRYING TO OVERRIDE

2:14:22OUR CALL THE QUESTION.

2:14:25I GUESS THE COUNCIL CAN DO THAT.

2:14:27I REALLY THINK PEOPLE SHOULD

2:14:29STOP SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO

2:14:31COLLABORATE IF THEY'RE GOING TO

2:14:33CONTINUE DOING THIS.

2:14:34>>COUN. PEÑA: OKAY.

2:14:34EXCUSE ME.

2:14:35THAT'S THE FIRST WARNING OUT

2:14:36THERE.

2:14:44I THINK WE HAVE THE AMENDMENT

2:14:46UP.

2:14:50WE HAVE THE AMENDMENT THIS

2:14:51PROPOSES TO REMOVE THE

2:14:53APPROPRIATION TO THE ALBUQUERQUE

2:14:54PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR SECOND

2:14:59YEAR -- WASN'T IT THE FIRST YEAR

2:15:02APPROPRIATION?

2:15:03>> MADAM PRESIDENT, THE

2:15:04HIGHLIGHTED TEXT IS WHAT IS

2:15:05BEING DONE WITH THE AMENDMENT TO

2:15:08THE AMENDMENT.

2:15:09THE EXPLANATION IS FROM THE

2:15:10ORIGINAL AMENDMENT.

2:15:12>>COUN. PEÑA: I'M SORRY.

2:15:13SO SORRY.

2:15:14WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS THE

2:15:17UNSPENT BALANCE THAT APS HAS

2:15:20FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR WOULD

2:15:22REVERT BACK WHICH IS KIND OF

2:15:23SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY

2:15:25PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE

2:15:26I THINK IT'S IN THE CONTRACT

2:15:28THAT IT'S NOT AUTOMATIC.

2:15:31THAT'S A NO-BRAINER.

2:15:34THE ONLY THING WE WOULD BE DOING

2:15:36TODAY IS REMOVING THE VAPE

2:15:40DETECTORS WHICH IS $250,000.

2:15:46COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN.

2:15:47>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU,

2:15:50MADAM PRESIDENT.

2:15:52THE AMOUNT THAT WAS NOT USED

2:15:54LAST YEAR HAS ALREADY BEEN

2:15:56REVERTED.

2:15:57THAT IS BACK IN OUR ACCOUNT.

2:15:58THIS BODY WILL BE ABLE TO SPEND

2:16:00THAT HOWEVER WE CHOOSE IN THE

2:16:03FUTURE.

2:16:03ACTUALLY DOING AN ADDITIONAL

2:16:05REMOVAL OF THAT AMOUNT TAKES

2:16:07THEM LOWER THAN THEY NEED TO BE

2:16:08FOR THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING.

2:16:12THAT MONEY, THE MONEY NOT ROLLED

2:16:15OVER BY THE ADMINISTRATION

2:16:16BECAUSE WE SHOULDN'T ROLL IT

2:16:18OVER HAS ALREADY BEEN RETURNED

2:16:19TO OUR OPIOID FUND ACCOUNT.

2:16:21THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO

2:16:23DO THAT.

2:16:24I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT IF YOU

2:16:28TAKE A LOOK AT THE ACTUAL DOLLAR

2:16:30AMOUNT, THE 250 FOR THE WIRELESS

2:16:32VAPE DETECTORS WAS PAID HALF BY

2:16:35BERNALILLO COUNTY AND HALF BY

2:16:36THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE.

2:16:40TAKING BACK THE WHOLE AMOUNT OF

2:16:43THAT IS DOUBLE DIPPING.

2:16:45LASTLY, I WILL POINT OUT THAT

2:16:47THOSE VAPES WERE PART OF THE

2:16:49PRELIMINARY.

2:16:50THEY -- PLAN.

2:16:54THEY WERE PAID FOR.

2:16:56ANY REDUCTION IN THE 1.5 WE GIVE

2:16:59THEM THIS YEAR TAKES AWAY FROM

2:17:03THE CROSSROAD COUNSELORS WHO

2:17:06WILL BE HIRED AND CONTINUE TO

2:17:08PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

2:17:09AS WELL AS THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

2:17:12COUNSELORS.

2:17:13I WOULD REALLY URGE US TO NOT

2:17:15REDUCE OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE

2:17:18PROGRAM FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

2:17:20IT IS 1.5 FOR NEXT YEAR.

2:17:221.5 FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND

2:17:24WE'RE DONE.

2:17:25AND WE HAVE STOOD UP THIS

2:17:28PROGRAM FOR APS YOUNG PEOPLE TO

2:17:29GET THE HELP THEY NEED.

2:17:31AGAIN, YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE OUR

2:17:35CONSTITUENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY

2:17:36MEMBERS AS WELL.

2:17:39AGAIN, THESE NUMBERS ARE

2:17:41ERRONEOUS THAT ARE ON THE SCREEN

2:17:43AS THEY ARE.

2:17:44I WOULD URGE US TO NOT TAKE ANY

2:17:46OF THE MONEY BACK FROM THE YOUNG

2:17:48PEOPLE WHO NEED IT.

2:17:52>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

2:17:54CAO SENGEL.

2:17:55>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

2:17:57I THINK COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN

2:17:58COVERED THE BUDGET PORTION WHICH

2:18:00IS WHAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE

2:18:02FOLKS KNEW.

2:18:02IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET, IT

2:18:04DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY ADDED

2:18:07ADDITION VAPES IN YEAR TWO.

2:18:10BASED UPON THE DISCUSSION, WE'RE

2:18:13GOING TO PROPOSE YOU COULD ADD

2:18:14LANGUAGE TO SAY THE FUNDING

2:18:15COULD ONLY BE USED FOR

2:18:17COUNSELORS AND TRAINING TO

2:18:19SUPPORT THE STAFF PORTION OF IT.

2:18:28WANTED TO CONTRIBUTE THE FACT --

2:18:35THEY PURCHASED THE VAPETECTORS

2:18:38IN THE FIRST YEAR.

2:18:39>>COUN. PEÑA: I THINK THE

2:18:40INFORMATION I RECEIVED IS

2:18:41INCORRECT.

2:18:43WITH THAT BEING SAI -- IS THERE

2:18:56SOMETHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD?

2:18:57IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE CONTINUING

2:18:58THE CONVERSATION.

2:18:59IF WE REMOVED THE -- IT WAS MY

2:19:04UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY WERE

2:19:05STILL WANTING TO USE THE

2:19:08APPROPRIATION OF THE $600,000

2:19:11LEFT.

2:19:11THAT'S INCORRECT?

2:19:14>> MADAM PRESIDENT, THEY DID ASK

2:19:17FOR THAT.

2:19:18THEY ASKED FOR THE ABILITY TO DO

2:19:20SO.

2:19:20WE HELD GROUND THAT CITY COUNCIL

2:19:22IS THE ONLY BODY THAT CAN ALLOW

2:19:24FOR THAT APPROPRIATION TO BE

2:19:26EXTENDED INTO THE SECOND YEAR

2:19:29VERSUS ONLY FOR THE FIRST YEAR.

2:19:31>>COUN. PEÑA: OKAY.

2:19:36THE SECOND THING, I'LL GO TO

2:19:41YOU, COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN.

2:19:41AND THE SECOND IS THE 250, THAT

2:19:44TOO, I WAS TOLD THEY WERE

2:19:47PURCHASING VAPE DETECTORS.

2:19:51BECAUSE THERE'S NO NEED FOR THE

2:19:52AMENDMENT IF THE INFORMATION I

2:19:54RECEIVED IS INCORRECT.

2:20:05>> MADAM PRESIDENT, WHEN THE

2:20:07INFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED

2:20:09BASED UPON THE INQUIRY INDICATES

2:20:12IT WAS YEAR ONE BUDGET OF 1.8

2:20:14INCLUDED THE $250,000 FOR

2:20:17WIRELESS VAPE DETECTORS.

2:20:21INCLUDED THE OTHER ITEMS THAT

2:20:23WERE ALSO IN THAT YEAR ONE

2:20:25BUDGET FOR THE $1.8 MILLION.

2:20:28>>COUN. PEÑA: OKAY.

2:20:30THANK YOU.

2:20:31COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN.

2:20:32I INTEND TO WITHDRAW THIS.

2:20:34>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: I STILL WANT

2:20:35TO MAKE MY COMMENT.

2:20:37I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, AGAIN,

2:20:39FOR FOLKS THAT NOT HAVE BEEN

2:20:42PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS AND

2:20:43SUDDENLY WANTING TO MAKE

2:20:46CHANGES, THE COUNTY DID ALLOW A

2:20:49ROLLOVER OF THEIR UNUSED MONEY.

2:20:51THAT IS TOTALLY WITHIN THEIR

2:20:53AUTHORITY AND THEY DID THAT

2:20:54BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SUPPORT

2:20:56YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING

2:20:58THESE SERVICES FROM APS.

2:21:00BUT WE DID NOT.

2:21:04THAT IS -- I JUST WANT TO MAKE

2:21:05THAT VERY CLEAR.

2:21:06IF WE TALK ABOUT COLLABORATING,

2:21:09I BELIEVE THE CHILDREN IN OUR

2:21:10COMMUNITY ARE ALSO WORTHY OF

2:21:13COLLABORATION.

2:21:13AGAIN, GLAD THE AMENDMENT WILL

2:21:15BE WITHDRAWN.

2:21:16I HOPE WE WILL CONTINUE TO

2:21:19COLLABORATE WITH APS AND WITH

2:21:20OUR BERNALILLO COUNTY PARTNERS

2:21:22AS WE TRY TO MOVE FORWARD TO

2:21:24KEEP KIDS FROM GOING DOWN THE

2:21:26TRACK THAT WE'VE SEEN SO MANY

2:21:27YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY

2:21:29GOING DOWN TOWARDS OPIOID USE

2:21:32AND WORSE.

2:21:33>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

2:21:34WITH THAT, I'LL JUST MAKE ONE

2:21:36COMMENT TO THAT.

2:21:39COLLABORATION, WHEN WE CAN'T

2:21:41FULLY FUND OUR GATEWAY CENTER

2:21:42HERE IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE,

2:21:44AND WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR

2:21:46ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, IT'S ONE

2:21:48THING TO COLLABORATE, BUT WHEN

2:21:51WE CAN'T HAVE OUR OWN PROGRAMS

2:21:54STANDING UP FULLY FUNCTIONAL,

2:21:56THEN WE REALLY HAVE TO ADDRESS

2:21:57THAT BEFORE WE CAN BE HANDING

2:22:00OUT MONEY.

2:22:01WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO

2:22:05WITHDRAW FLOOR AMENDMENT NUMBER

2:22:06ONE.

2:22:07>> MADAM PRESIDENT, YOU'LL HAVE

2:22:09TO VOTE.

2:22:09>>COUN. BASSAN: SECOND.

2:58:03SOMEONE -- THE APPELLANT CHOOSES

2:58:07TO APPEAL, THAT DEVELOPMENT

2:58:10APPLICATION -- THEIR TOTAL

2:58:12APPEAL COST WOULD BE A THOUSAND

2:58:14DOLLARS.

2:58:15THAT IS MADE UP OF $925 WHICH IS

2:58:18AN APPEAL FILING FEE AND A $75

2:58:20NOTICE FEE WHICH COVERS PHYSICAL

2:58:23MAILERS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT

2:58:25COMES WITH NOTIFYING THE APPEAL.

2:58:28IF YOU'RE AN APPLICANT FOR

2:58:31DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION AND YOUR

2:58:35APPLICATION, SITE PLAN, GETS

2:58:38DENIED BY THE PLANNING

2:58:39DEPARTMENT, MEANING THAT

2:58:41PLANNING DID NOT FEEL YOU MET

2:58:43ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS, YOUR

2:58:47APPEAL FEE WOULD BE $300.

2:58:52MADE UP OF THE $75 NOTICE FEE OR

2:58:55$225 APPEAL FILING FEE.

2:58:59THE WRITE-UP ATTACHED TO THE

2:59:02LEGISLATION HAS A BREAKDOWN OF

2:59:05SOME OF THE REGIONAL COMPARISONS

2:59:07IN THE SOUTHWEST AND MOUNTAIN

2:59:10THIS BILL ALSO, AFTER AMENDED AT

2:59:13THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING,

2:59:19PERIOD OF WHEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE

2:59:35YOU HAVE UNTIL MONDAY TO PAY.

2:59:38ALSO, WITHIN THE AMENDMENT,

2:59:40THERE WAS LANGUAGE TIED TO

2:59:46EQUITY.

2:59:46WHEREAS, IF YOU'RE FOUND TO HAVE

2:59:50HARDSHIP OR LOW INCOME OR

2:59:56INDIGENT STATUS, OR YOU HAVE A

2:59:58SCORE OF 50 OR HIGHER IN THE

3:00:01SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDEX, WE

3:00:04CAN NEGOTIATE THE APPEAL FILING

3:00:06FEE WITH THE PLANNING

3:00:09DEPARTMENT.

3:00:10IT ALSO BROUGHT IN AN ANNUAL

3:00:12REPORT TIED TO APPEALS AND THE

3:00:15PLANNING DEPARTMENT SHALL REPORT

3:00:17THE NUMBER OF APPEALS BY

3:00:21CATEGORY, BE COLLECTED, WAIVED,

3:00:34REVIEW THAT REPORT AND ALL

3:00:36OUTCOMES WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE

3:00:37EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS

3:00:39ORDINANCE.

3:00:40HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

3:00:43THANK YOU.

3:00:45>>COUN. LEWIS: MADAM PRESIDENT,

3:00:47THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION ON THE

3:00:50DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TYPES OF

3:00:54APPEALS AND THE JUSTIFICATION

3:00:59FOR DIFFERENT COST RELATED TO

3:01:00THAT.

3:01:03IT RECOGNIZES -- TALK ABOUT THE

3:01:06DIFFERENT KINDS -- WHAT TYPES OF

3:01:10APPEALS WOULD BE CONSIDERED --

3:01:12WHAT WOULD THEY GO THROUGH?

3:01:14YOU'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT IT

3:01:16A LITTLE BIT, BUT WHEN SOMETHING

3:01:18IS APPROVED FROM SITE PLANS TO

3:01:21EPC TO LAND USE HEARING OFFICER

3:01:23TO THE DRB, IT GOES THROUGH A

3:01:28LONG PROCESS OF FOLLOWING OUR

3:01:31CITY LAWS.

3:01:32THE FEES ARE RELATED TO THE

3:01:38VALUE OUR LAWS.

3:01:42AND THE APPLICANT'S ABILITY TO

3:01:44BE ABLE TO FOLLOW THOSE

3:01:47PROCEDURES.

3:01:48THAT IS SIGNIFIED BY APPROVALS

3:01:51ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS.

3:01:53NOT ONLY IS THE JUSTIFICATION OF

3:01:55THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT ANY

3:01:56KIND OF APPEAL ADMINISTRATIVELY

3:02:00COSTS THE CITY, BUT LOOKING AT

3:02:04IT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE

3:02:09VALUE OF THE LAWS THAT ARE IN

3:02:13PLACE AT THIS POINT AS OPPOSED

3:02:17TO A DENIAL THAT MAY HAPPEN

3:02:22EARLY ON.

3:02:23IT MAY HAPPEN WITH A RESIDENT

3:02:26THAT MIGHT WANT TO BUILD A WALL

3:02:28OR TAKE DOWN A WALL OR A FENCE

3:02:30THAT MIGHT BE A FEW INCHES WHERE

3:02:35IT NEEDS TO BE.

3:02:36AND HAS THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE

3:02:39TO GET A REVIEW OF THAT.

3:02:42I GUESS WHAT MY QUESTION WOULD

3:02:44BE, AFTER MAKING CLARIFICATION,

3:02:48OUR ABILITY TO DO THAT -- OUR

3:02:51ABILITY TO CHANGE THE FEES AND

3:02:53DO A LAW LIKE THIS AND QUESTIONS

3:02:55WHETHER THAT'S LEGAL FOR US TO

3:02:56DO THAT OR NOT.

3:02:58WHAT'S YOUR LEGAL PERSPECTIVE ON

3:02:59THAT?

3:03:03>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

3:03:06LEWIS, I THINK THAT'S WITHIN THE

3:03:08POLICY DISCRETION OF THE COUNCIL

3:03:11TO SET FEES AND VARYING FEES

3:03:15DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES

3:03:16THAT APPLY.

3:03:17THE RATIONALE BASED ON WHAT'S

3:03:19STATED FOR APPEAL IN THE BILL IS

3:03:22DIFFERENT THAN APPEALS AND

3:03:23DENIALS THAT THE APPROVAL

3:03:25SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY

3:03:26WORKED THROUGH THE REVIEW

3:03:28PROCESS AND HAS BEEN DEEMED TO

3:03:31SATISFY THE CITY'S EXISTING

3:03:33REQUIREMENTS FOR WHATEVER THAT

3:03:35APPLICATION TYPE MAY BE.

3:03:37WHEREAS, A DENIAL IS A LOWER FEE

3:03:41BECAUSE IT'S MEANT TO HAVE A LOW

3:03:42BARRIER FOR FOLKS TO SEEK REVIEW

3:03:46OF A DETERMINATION THAT HAS

3:03:48PREVENTED THEM FROM MOVING

3:03:50FORWARD WITH A PROJECT.

3:03:52>>COUN. LEWIS: THANKS, MADAM

3:03:55PRESIDENT.

3:03:55THAT WAS MY OPENING.

3:03:56I WANT TO GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

3:03:59>>COUN. PEÑA: YES.

3:04:00MR. CORNELIUS.

3:04:01>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

3:04:04LORETTA FOLLOWED BY LISA.

3:04:18>> I GOT STUCK ON THAT THING.

3:04:26GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

3:04:27AND COUNCILORS.

3:04:30I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE SANTA

3:04:32BARBARA MARTINEZ TOWN

3:04:34NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.

3:04:34I'M ALSO HERE REPRESENTING THE

3:04:37HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD ALLIANCE,

3:04:38WHICH I'M A MEMBER OF.

3:04:40THE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD

3:04:42ALLIANCE AND SANTA BARBARA

3:04:44MARTINEZ TOWN NEIGHBORHOOD

3:04:46ASSOCIATION RESPECTFULLY URGES

3:04:47THE CITY COUNCIL TO DENY

3:04:48ORDINANCE O-26-60.

3:04:54THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THE

3:04:56CITY INCURS ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

3:04:58WHEN PROCESSING APPEALS.

3:05:04BUT THE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER FEE

3:05:06FOR APPEALS CREATES A FINANCIAL

3:05:09PAIRIER FOR NEIGHBORHOOD

3:05:10ORGANIZATIONS, PARTICULARLY

3:05:11ORGANIZATIONS THAT OPERATE

3:05:13PRIMARILY THROUGH VOLUNTEERS AND

3:05:14LIMITED COMMUNITY RESOURCES.

3:05:16THE ISSUE IS NOT SIMPLY WHETHER

3:05:19THE CITY INCURS COST.

3:05:20THE ISSUE IS WHETHER THE

3:05:22PROPOSED FEE IS PROPORTIONATE,

3:05:25EQUITABLE, AND NECESSARY TO

3:05:26PROVIDE MEANINGFUL ACCESS TO THE

3:05:28CITY APPEAL PROCESS.

3:05:30BEFORE IMPOSING THE 925 FILING

3:05:36FEE ON ORGANIZATIONS, HAD

3:05:38ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THE CITY

3:05:39SHOULD PROVIDE THE ANALYSIS

3:05:41DEMONSTRATING HOW THAT AMOUNT

3:05:42WAS CALCULATED.

3:05:43WHAT SPECIFIC COSTS IT IS

3:05:45INTENDED TO RECOVER AND WHY

3:05:47THOSE COSTS CANNOT BE ADDRESSED

3:05:49TO THE CITY EXISTING BUDGETING

3:05:52PROCESS?

3:05:52THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT REVIEW

3:05:54AND PLANNING FUNCTIONS ARE

3:05:56MUNICIPAL SERVICES SUPPORTED IN

3:05:58SIGNIFICANT PART THROUGH PUBLIC

3:06:01RESOURCES.

3:06:01NEIGHBORHOOD PARTICIPATION IS

3:06:02ALSO A COMPONENT OF THAT PUBLIC

3:06:05PROCESS.

3:06:05THE ABILITY OF RESIDENTS TO

3:06:08PARTICIPATE SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON

3:06:11WHETHER A NEIGHBORHOOD

3:06:12ORGANIZATION CAN AFFORD A

3:06:13SUBSTANTIAL FILING FEE.

3:06:15THE ORGANIZATIONS THEREFORE

3:06:17REQUEST THE COUNCIL CONSIDER

3:06:19ELIMINATING OR SUBSTANTIALLY

3:06:21REDOING APPEAL FEES FOR

3:06:23RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD

3:06:24ASSOCIATIONS AND COALITIONS OR

3:06:26ESTABLISHING A WAIVER OR REDUCED

3:06:30PAYMENT PROCESS FOR QUALIFYING

3:06:31NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS.

3:06:32THANK YOU INTEREST THIS TIME.

3:06:36>>COUN. PEÑA: THANK YOU.

3:06:37>> LISA FOLLOWED BY RENÉ.

3:06:44>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILORS.

3:06:46I'M SORRY.

3:06:46WRONG ONE.

3:06:51GOOD EVENING, COUNCILORS.

3:06:54I'M HERE TO EMPHASIZE WHY

3:06:55COMMUNITY VOICES MUST BE

3:06:57INCLUDED IN LAND USE DECISIONS

3:06:58THAT SHAPE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

3:07:00I'M LANDOWNER AND IN DISTRICT

3:07:07THREE.

3:07:07A HUGE LAND DEVELOPMENT IS

3:07:09HAPPENING ON 98th STREET.

3:07:10NONE OF MY NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE

3:07:12STREET HAVE LEGAL STANDING

3:07:13BECAUSE THE ROAD IS WIDER THAN

3:07:16THE 325 TEAT.

3:07:18WE'RE 600 FEET AWAY.

3:07:20IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE CITY,

3:07:22THEY SAID BECAUSE OF THAT

3:07:23DISTANCE WE HAD NO STANDING.

3:07:24BECAUSE WE HAD NO COALITION WE

3:07:26HAD NO SANDING.

3:07:27ONE OF THE CITY COUNCILORS IN

3:07:28THIS DAIS SUGGESTED TO ME THAT I

3:07:31SHOULD ORGANIZE MY NEIGHBORS

3:07:33INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION.

3:07:35AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO

3:07:36DO.

3:07:37NOW BECAUSE THE COALITIONS NO

3:07:39LONGER HAVE STANDING THAT'S NO

3:07:41LONGER NEEDED.

3:07:42I'M ASKING IF WE CAN HAVE AN

3:07:44AMENDMENT THAT EXPAND NOTICE FOR

3:07:47LANDOWNERS THAT SHOULD BE

3:07:51INCLUDED.

3:07:51THE ROAD IS WIDER THAN THE

3:07:55NOTICE.

3:07:55THE LAND IS HERE, MY HOUSE IS

3:07:58HERE, THE ROAD IS IN BETWEEN.

3:08:00I'M ON THE STREET.

3:08:01I'VE GOT NO NOTICE.

3:08:04CONTACTING THE CITY, WE'RE NOT

3:08:06ENTITLED TO NOTICE WE'RE NOT A

3:08:10COALITION.

3:08:10CAN WE EXPAND THE NOTICE FROM

3:08:13325 TO A THOUSAND.

3:08:14WE WOULDN'T NEED A COALITION AND

3:08:15WE'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO SHUT

3:08:17DOWN ANYTHING.

3:08:17DEVELOPMENT AFFECTS MORE THAN

3:08:19PROPERTY LINES.

3:08:19IT AFFECTS OUR HOMES, TRAFFIC,

3:08:23PARKING, SAFETY AND CHARACTER OF

3:08:24OUR COMMUNITIES.

3:08:25RESIDENTS DESERVE MEANINGFUL

3:08:27OPPORTUNITIES TO BE HEARD BEFORE

3:08:27THE DECISIONS ARE MADE.

3:08:29NOT SIMPLY TO BE INFORMED AFTER

3:08:30THE FACT.

3:08:32I LEARNED ABOUT IT SITTING HERE

3:08:33BECAUSE I COME TO CITY COUNCIL

3:08:35MEETINGS.

3:08:35I GO BACK OUT TO THE PROPERTY.

3:08:37THERE'S A NOTICE THAT'S REAL

3:08:40LITTLE ON A DEAD END STREET.

3:08:41I NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT

3:08:43IT HAD I NOT BEEN AT CITY

3:08:45COUNCIL.

3:08:45LEGAL STANDING IS NOT ABOUT

3:08:48OBSTRUCTION.

3:08:48IT'S ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY.

3:08:49LEGAL STANDING GIVES ORGANIZED

3:08:51RESIDENTING A MEANINGFUL SEAT.

3:08:53WE JUST WANT TO BE PART OF THE

3:08:56CONVERSATION.

3:08:57THE FEES ARE WAY TOO MUCH.

3:08:59>> RENÉ FOLLOWED BY TAD.

3:09:04>>COUN. PEÑA: ONE SECOND.

3:09:06COUNCILOR TELLES.

3:09:07SCOMBLT THANK YOU,

3:09:08.

3:09:08>>COUN. TELLES: THANK YOU, MADAM

3:09:09PRESIDENT.

3:09:09I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING

3:09:11VERY QUICKLY.

3:09:13TO BE A NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION,

3:09:15THERE HAS TO BE A NEIGHBORHOOD

3:09:18ASSOCIATION.

3:09:18YOU CAN'T HAVE A COALITION

3:09:20UNLESS THERE'S AN ASSOCIATION.

3:09:24YOU COULDN'T HAVE HAD A

3:09:26COALITION WITHOUT THE

3:09:29ASSOCIATION.

3:09:29THE ASSOCIATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS

3:09:32STILL RETAIN ALL STANDING AND

3:09:35THE BOUNDARY IS 660 FEET.

3:09:38WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.

3:09:41ALSO, JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS,

3:09:42THERE'S A BIG RED BUTTON ON MY

3:09:45WEBSITE.

3:09:46IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE AND

3:09:48CLICK IT, YOU CAN SIGN UP TO

3:09:51RECEIVE NOTICE ON ANY PROJECT

3:09:53THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

3:09:54I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.

3:09:58THANK YOU.

3:10:06>> GOOD EVENING, AGAIN.

3:10:07I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT

3:10:10THIS ALSO.

3:10:11BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO

3:10:14APPEAL A CASE.

3:10:15IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME.

3:10:17IT TAKES LOT OF ENERGY.

3:10:20IT TAKES MONEY.

3:10:22SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO HIRE AN

3:10:24ATTORNEY TO -- THAT GETS

3:10:26EXPENSIVE.

3:10:26AND WHAT I'M FINDING IS THAT YOU

3:10:28SAY THAT IT WENT THROUGH THE

3:10:31PROCESS, IT FOLLOWS ALL THE

3:10:33RULES.

3:10:33I LOOK BACK AND I THINK OF ALL

3:10:35THE APPEALS THAT HAVE TAKEN

3:10:36PLACE OVER THE YEARS.

3:10:37THEY DID NOT FOLLOW THE RULES.

3:10:39THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON THEY

3:10:42WERE APPEALED IN THE FIRST

3:10:45PLACE.

3:10:45SO, I THINK OF SOME OF THE

3:10:48PROJECTS LIKE IN TAYLOR RANCH

3:10:51AND BIG BOX AT COORS AND

3:10:55MONTANO.

3:10:55THERE ARE A LOT OF CONCERNS

3:10:57ABOUT THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS NEXT

3:10:59TO BOSQUE AND NEXT TO THE

3:11:01SCHOOL.

3:11:02IT HAD TO BE APPEALED.

3:11:04IT DID NOT MEET THE BIG BOX

3:11:05ORDINANCE.

3:11:06THAT'S THE ONLY REASON IT DID

3:11:08NOT SUCCEED.

3:11:09AND WE GOT A BETTER SHOPPING

3:11:11CENTER THAT'S MORE WALKABLE.

3:11:14THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE HAD TO

3:11:18APPEAL WAS THE POOL PROPERTY.

3:11:19IF WE DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY

3:11:21POOAPPEAL THAT CASE, THERE WOULD

3:11:23HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

3:11:25BEFORE IT EVEN WENT TO EPC, THEY

3:11:30GAVE AWAY A TON OF WAIVERS ON

3:11:33OUR PROTECTION THAT WOULD HAVE

3:11:35PROTECTED THE BOSQUE BETTER,

3:11:36PROTECTED THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE

3:11:38THERE BETTER.

3:11:39IF WE DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY

3:11:40POO -- AND IT WAS

3:11:43AND IT WAS MORE ABILITY -- WE

3:11:45WOULD HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS

3:11:47THAT THE TAXPAYERS WOULD HAVE

3:11:49HAD TO FIX.

3:11:50WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE HAVE

3:11:51SENSITIVE AREAS ON THE WEST SIDE

3:11:53THAT NEED THESE PROTECTIONS.

3:11:56AND A LOT OF THESE CASES THEY'RE

3:11:58WAIVED AWAY BEFORE WE GO TO EPC.

3:12:01AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE HAVE NO

3:12:03PROTECTIONS FOR OUR AREAS ALONG

3:12:05THE BOSQUE, ON TOP OF THE MESA,

3:12:09AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

3:12:11THIS IS UNFAIR.

3:12:12IT GIVES THE DEVELOPERS -- WE

3:12:17DON'T CARE.

3:12:20WE CAN'T GUARANTEE ALBUQUERQUE

3:12:23IF WE DON'T STAND UP AND PROTECT

3:12:25OUR AREAS.

3:12:27>> TAD FOLLOWED BY PATRICIA ON

3:12:35ZOOM.

3:12:47>> MY NAME IS TAD.

3:12:55WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHO IS IN

3:13:00NEIGHBORHOOD, PRESIDENT, VICE

3:13:02PRESIDENT, ETSET RU.

3:13:06WHAT IS THE HOUSES THEY HAVE?

3:13:08WHO ELECTED THEM?

3:13:10HOW MANY MEMBERS ARE THEY

3:13:13SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING?

3:13:15NO, THEY'RE NOT REPRESENTING

3:13:19NEIGHBORHOODS.

3:13:19COUNCIL EMPOWERING THEM.

3:13:24ZONING -- THIS GUY ENFORCING BY

3:13:28HIS OFFICE.

3:13:30NUSE PS ABATEMENT.

3:13:33NUISANCE ABATEMENT.

3:13:37YES, HOW DO YOU LIKE TO SEE

3:13:41EX-COP VIOLATING THE LAW?

3:13:47YOU NEED CHARTER.

3:13:52THEY'RE PICKING UP DONUTS BY

3:13:54HELL -- HELICOPTER.

3:13:59I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS

3:14:01COUNCIL GETS ALECTED BY 680.

3:14:09WELL, MULTIPLY BY 9, THAT'S 810.

3:14:13THAT'S NOT EVEN 9,000.

3:14:17WHERE IS IN THE CITY REST OF

3:14:20MORE THAN HALF MILLION?

3:14:22WHO REPRESENTING THEM?

3:14:26THIS IS CLEAR TO ALL YOU

3:14:30REPRESENTED TODAY.

3:14:31THERE IS NOT FOR

3:14:35REPRESENTING RESIDENTS.

3:14:40THEY REPRESENT WHO ELECTED THEM

3:14:44WITH SPECIAL INTERESTS.

3:14:46YES, WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE

3:14:50COURT.

3:14:52I WILL FILE AMENDMENT FOR

3:14:56HARASSMENT.

3:15:03>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS,

3:15:05IF FEES SHOULD BE RAISED IT

3:15:07SHOULD BE BASED ON DATA.

3:15:10NOT GOING TO OTHER CITIES AND

3:15:12GOING HIGHER.

3:15:13I HAVE YET TO SEE DATA ON ANY

3:15:16CITIES THAT CHARGES FEES

3:15:22ASYMMETICLY.

3:15:24ALL APPEALS ARE DECIDED ON THE

3:15:26SAME CRITERIA OUTLINED IN THE

3:15:28IDO.

3:15:28THE CITY'S APPROVAL PROCESS IS

3:15:31NOT INFALLIBLE.

3:15:32SOMETIMES AN APPROVAL MUST BE

3:15:36APPEALED.

3:15:37O-60 REQUIRES THE PLANNING

3:15:38DEPARTMENT TO COLLECT AND REPORT

3:15:40DATA ON ACTUAL COSTS GOING

3:15:42FORWARD.

3:15:42IT'S CLEAR THAT THERE'S NO

3:15:45FACTUAL COST DATA TO SUPPORT

3:15:48THIS ASYMMETRICAL INCREASE.

3:15:52O-60 IS ARBITRARY, CAPRICIOUS,

3:15:54PUNITIVE AND VINDICAVINDICATIVE.

3:15:56AND THE MAYOR'S SIGNATURE OF

3:16:02O-26-61 OF THE BS HEADLINE MAYOR

3:16:04KELLER EMPOWERS NEIGHBORHOOD

3:16:06ASSOCIATIONS, IGNORES THE FACT

3:16:08THAT LOSS OF RECOGNITION EQUALS

3:16:10LOSS OF NOTIFICATION.

3:16:11AND HUGE NUMBERS OF THE CITY

3:16:13HAVE NO NEIGHBORHOOD

3:16:16ASSOCIATIONS.

3:16:17AND THE MOST PRECIPITOUS DROP IN

3:16:20THE NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOOD

3:16:21ASSOCIATIONS HAS OCCURRED UNDER

3:16:23MAYOR KELLER'S WATCH.

3:16:25THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

3:16:28>> LANA FOLLOWED BY SANDRA.

3:16:39>> GOOD EVENING, MADAM

3:16:41PRESIDENT, COUNCILORS.

3:16:41I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE HOME

3:16:43BUILDER'S ASSOCIATION.

3:16:44I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOME

3:16:47INFORMATION.

3:16:47AT THE OCTOBER 5th MEETING,

3:16:49SEVERAL PEOPLE ASKED WHAT

3:16:51O-26-50 HAS TO DO WITH THE PRICE

3:16:53OF THE HOME.

3:16:54I'D LIKE TO ANSWER THAT

3:16:55QUESTION.

3:16:55ON A $400,000 HOUSE THE BUILDER

3:16:57ALREADY INVESTED 13 TO $15,000

3:17:03BEFORE A SHOVEL HITS THE GROUND.

3:17:04THAT'S PERMIT, PLAN REVIEW, CITY

3:17:07IMPACT FEES, AND WATER AUTHORITY

3:17:09CHARGES.

3:17:09COMPARE THAT TO WHAT IT COSTS

3:17:10FOR FILING AN APPEAL.

3:17:13TODAY'S CITIZEN CAN STOP THE

3:17:14PROJECT FOR A FEW HUNDRED

3:17:16DOLLARS.

3:17:18EVEN UNDER THIS PROPOSAL, APPEAL

3:17:21IS $900.

3:17:23THAT'S LESS THAN A WEEK FOR THE

3:17:26CARRYING COST FOR ONE HOUSE.

3:17:27THE CLOCK IS ALWAYS RUNNING.

3:17:29AT $150 A DAY, PUSHING IT TO

3:17:37$18,000 BEFORE CONSTRUCTION

3:17:39BEGINS.

3:17:39THE PERSON RISKS A FEW HUNDRED

3:17:47DOLLARS.

3:17:47ONE SIZE HAS A SMALL FIXED COST

3:17:50AND THE OTHER ONE CARRIES A

3:17:52LARGE AND GROWING ONE.

3:17:53THIS IS PASSED ON TO THE HOME

3:17:55BUYER.

3:17:56THAT IS REALLY THE ANSWER TO

3:17:57THAT QUESTION.

3:18:15ANYONE.

3:18:15RESIDENTS SHOULD HAVE A VOICE.

3:18:17THIS INCLUDES WAIVERS FOR THOSE

3:18:20THE FEE SHOULD REFLECT THE REAL

3:18:23COST OF APPEALS.

3:18:25I DO APPRECIATE OTHER COMMENTS

3:18:35EARLY ON WHERE WHERE THEY SAID

3:18:36THERE'S NOT APPEALS ON HOUSING

3:18:37PROJECTS, BUT THIS DOES ADD

3:22:03AND A SECOND BY COUNCILOR

3:22:06TELLES.

3:22:07COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN TO OPEN.

3:22:08>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU,

3:22:09MADAM PRESIDENT.

3:22:10I FEEL PRETTY STRONGLY THAT

3:22:13MONEY THAT ANY CITY COUNCILOR

3:22:15RAISES FOR A PARTICULAR PROJECT

3:22:16IN THEIR DISTRICT SHOULD BE

3:22:18SPENT ON THAT PROJECT.

3:22:21IT REALLY SHOULD NOT MATTER IF

3:22:24IT'S WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION

3:22:25WANTS OR WHAT A DEPARTMENT

3:22:28DIRECTOR WANTS.

3:22:29THE FUNDING THAT IS RAISED IS

3:22:31SOMETHING WE DO TO IMPROVE OUR

3:22:34OWN INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS.

3:22:37NOW, I UNDERSTAND THINGS CAN

3:22:38CHANGE.

3:22:40OBVIOUSLY, NEEDS CAN CHANGE.

3:22:42BY THE TIME I'M ABLE TO RAISE

3:22:44THE MONEY FOR SOMETHING, THE

3:22:46NEED MAY NO LONGER BE THERE.

3:22:49COSTS MIGHT GO UP SO MUCH WE

3:22:51HAVE TO CHOOSE A PORTION OF THE

3:22:52PROJECT TO COMPLETE.

3:22:53THERE CAN BE TECHNICAL

3:22:55CHALLENGES THAT WE WERE UNAWARE

3:22:57OF WHEN WE WERE RAISING THE

3:22:59FUNDS FOR THE PROJECT.

3:23:00EVERY ONE OF THOSE CHANGES

3:23:01SHOULD COME BACK TO THE

3:23:03COUNCILOR WHO RAISED THE MONEY,

3:23:06AND THEY SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN

3:23:08ANY SCOPE CHANGE, PERIOD.

3:23:11NOW, THAT IS NOT HAPPENED IN MY

3:23:13DISTRICT.

3:23:13I'VE HEARD A COUPLE STORIES FROM

3:23:15OTHER COUNCILORS THAT'S NOT

3:23:17HAPPENING IN THEIR DISTRICT.

3:23:18I WILL SAY THAT SINCE I

3:23:20INTRODUCED THIS BILL, SUDDENLY

3:23:23THE ADMINISTRATION WORKED WITH

3:23:24ME AND MADE SURE THE MONEY I

3:23:29RAISED IS USED ON THE PROJECTS I

3:23:30RAISED THEM FOR.

3:23:32THAT IS NOT HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED

3:23:33TO WORK, BUT IT IS HOW IT'S

3:23:36WORKED.

3:23:38SO, I AM SORRY THAT I HAD TO

3:23:40INTRODUCE THIS BILL, BUT I WILL

3:23:41DO WHATEVER I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE

3:23:43SURE THE PROMISES THAT I MAKE TO

3:23:46MY CONSTITUENTS ARE KEPT.

3:23:50I WILL MOVE RIGHT NOW TO

3:23:52WITHDRAW THE BILL, NOTING THAT

3:23:55WE HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION.

3:23:56AND WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM

3:23:59REPEATEDLY.

3:24:00AND I REALLY HOPE THAT MOVING

3:24:01FORWARD WE DO NOT HAVE THIS

3:24:04PROBLEM.

3:24:04NOT ONLY FOR MY DISTRICT, BUT

3:24:05FOR EVERY CITY COUNCILOR UP HERE

3:24:07WHO IS OUT THERE CONTINUALLY

3:24:09FIGHTING TO RAISE MONEY TO DO

3:24:11PROJECTS THAT ARE HELPFUL TO

3:24:13THEIR COMMUNITY.

3:24:13I MOVE WITHDRAWAL.

3:24:17>>COUN. PEÑA: I WAS GOING TO

3:24:18SAY, COUNCILOR FIEBELKORN,

3:31:08CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE K9

3:31:11FACILITY USE WILL BE HERE AND

3:31:12HOW MUCH OF THIS COULD BE USED

3:31:16FOR THAT?

3:31:22>> MADAM PRESIDENT, I CAN SPEAK

3:31:28GENERALLY.

3:31:28THIS PROJECT IS A TRAINING

3:31:30FACILITY FOR CANINE HANDLERS AND

3:31:32CANINES THAT IS BEING BUILT OUT

3:31:36SO THAT THEY HAVE A DEDICATED

3:31:38TRAINING AREA.

3:31:39>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU,

3:31:40MADAM PRESIDENT.

3:31:41DO WE KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF

3:31:42THE FUNDS COULD BE USED ON THAT

3:31:44OR WHAT THAT PROJECT IS GOING TO

3:31:45COST?

3:31:49BIG PICTURE -- NOT DOWN TO THE

3:31:52PENNY.

3:31:52>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

3:31:54FIEBELKORN, I SUSPECT -- I DON'T

3:31:55KNOW IF YOU'RE RAISING YOUR HAND

3:31:56TO ANSWER THE QUESTION?

3:31:59I DON'T HAVE THE PROJECT COST IN

3:32:01FRONT OF ME.

3:32:06>>COUN. CHAMPINE: IT WASN'T IN

3:32:08RESPONSE TO THE PERCENTAGE OR

3:32:10COST.

3:32:10BUT YOUR PRIOR QUESTION -- JUST

3:32:11A CLARIFICATION OF WHAT IT IS.

3:32:13A LOT OF TIMES WITH THE CANINE

3:32:15UNIT THEY HAVE TO DO

3:32:16PARTNERSHIPS WITH DIFFERENT

3:32:19BUILDINGS AND DIFFERENT

3:32:20LOCATIONS FOR TRAINING.

3:32:22AND FOUND A LOT OF TIMES IT WAS

3:32:25VERY HARD TO DO.

3:32:26NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO

3:32:28PARTNER WITH THE CANINE SAYING

3:32:31AFTER HOURS CAN WE USE YOUR

3:32:33BUILDING TO PRACTICE SEARCHSES

3:32:35TO TRAIN THE DOG AND EXERCISE

3:32:38THE DOG TO GO THROUGH REGIMENT

3:32:41OF BUILDING SEARCH FOR INTRUDERS

3:32:43AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

3:32:44WHAT THEY FOUND WAS IT BECAME

3:32:49DIFFICULT WITHOUT THIS PROPER

3:32:51TRAINING AND EXERCISING THEY GOT

3:32:54RUSTY.

3:32:55THINGS WEREN'T MET.

3:32:56THINGS WEREN'T FOUND.

3:32:59THE IDEA -- THAT'S WHY THE IDEA

3:33:01OF THIS WAS FOR THE SPECIFIC

3:33:04FACILITY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO

3:33:05TRAIN AND KEEP UP WITH WHAT WE

3:33:07ASKED THEM TO DO.

3:33:09PART OF IT ALSO IN MY

3:33:12RECOLLECTION IS LOCATION THAT IF

3:33:14THE HANDLER HAS TO GO OUT OF

3:33:16TOWN FOR SOMETHING, THE DOGS

3:33:21SPACE WHERE THEY STAY WHILE

3:33:22THEIR HANDLER IS OUT OF TOWN IS

3:33:24VERY INADEQUATE.

3:33:27IT'S NOT THE BEST PLACE.

3:33:28IT BECOMES DIFFICULT.

3:33:29THE IMPROVEMENT WAS TO SAY NOT

3:33:32ONLY FOR THE TRAINING BUT WHEN

3:33:34THAT HANDLER IS OUT OF TOWN THEY

3:33:36HAVE AN ADEQUATE PLACE FOR THE

3:33:38DOG TO STAY.

3:33:40>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THANK YOU,

3:33:42MADAM PRESIDENT.

3:33:43IS THIS THE SAME TRAINING

3:33:45FACILITY THAT WAS PAID FOR OR A

3:33:48PORTION WAS PAID FOR WITH THE

3:33:50COMMUNITY DONATIONS THAT WERE

3:33:56RAISED WHEN OUR SERVICE DOGS WHO

3:33:58WAS SHOT IN THE FACE IN THE LINE

3:34:01OF DUTY -- IS THIS THE SAME

3:34:03TRAINING FACILITY?

3:34:04>> MADAM PRESIDENT, COUNCILOR

3:34:06FIEBELKORN, YES.

3:34:08THIS IS THE FACILITY THAT WAS

3:34:10PLANNED RELATED TO -- IN HONOR

3:34:13OF REBALREBLE.

3:34:23>>COUN. FIEBELKORN: THIS IS THE

3:34:24DOG SHOT BY APD IN THE COURSE OF

3:34:26HIS DUTIES AND WE USED THAT

3:34:28DEATH TO RAISE FUNDS FROM THE

3:34:30COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE FOR

3:34:34TRAINING OTHER DOGS TO DO THE

3:34:37SAME JOB.

3:34:38THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.
