[2A. Discuss amendments to Chapter 10 Article 4 of the Code of Ordinances regarding cement temporary batch plants. (30 minutes)2. WORK SESSION]
REGISTRIES AND FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE CITY HALL CONFERENCE ROOM IN OUR FIRST ITEM IS A WORK SESSION ITEM 2A DISCUSS MOST OF CHAPTER 10 ARTICLE 4 REGARDING CURRENT TEMPORARY BATCH PLANTS DOES ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE LOOKS LIKE JOE JACKSON WILL BE KICKING US OFF.>> AS THE MAYOR SAID CURRENTLY ARTICLE 4 CHAPTER 2 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES PERTAINS TO REGULATIONS FOR TEMPORARY BATCH PLANTS THESE REVELATIONS REQUIRE THE ISSUANCE OFA PERMIT . PERMIT OF BATCH PLANTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE ZONING REGULATIONS FOR THE DISTRICT. THE BATCH PLANT IS LOCATED IN A TEMPORARY USE PERMIT IS REQUIRED FOR TEMPORARY BATCH PLANT.
THE REGULATIONS SPELL OUT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A TEMPERATE BATCH PLANT AND THE RELATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION OF THIS FOR THE PERMANENT BATCH PLANT.
I WILL GO THROUGH QUICKLY THE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THAT SECTION AND THE ORGANS FOR TEMPORARY BATCH PLANTS. THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE PROVIDED OVER OR UNDER DIRECTLY TO THE BATCH PLANT. NO WIRING MAY DIRECTLY BE COMMITTED.
MAXIMUM TIME PERIOD IS SIX MONTHS. FOR A PUBLIC PROJECT AT THE TIME PERIOD SHALL BE FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME OF HIS EAGLE PROJECT.
THE OPERATOR OF THE BATCH PLANT HAS A BURDEN TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL THAT THE TEMPORARY PARKING SPACES ARE ADEQUATELY DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING NEEDS OF THE TEMPERATE BATCH PLANT. ALL STREETS AND ROADS LEADING FROM THE BATCH PLANT TO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED TO SPECIFIC SIZE AND SCREENED TO ACCOMMODATE VEHICLES AS THEY COME THROUGHOUT THE CITY THE CITY MAY CONSIDER IT AN EXTRA. ON THE TYPE DETERMINED BY THE CITY FOR THE GOVERNMENT COST REPAIRS OF THE STREETS AS A RESULT OF THE BATCH PLANT OPERATIONS.
WE GO BACK TO RAW MATERIALS. THE STRUCTURE THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR SIGNATURE RUNOFF.
PERMIT FOR A TEMPORARY BATCH PLANT SHALL CLEAR THE SITE EQUIPMENT, MATERIAL AND DEBRIS UPON COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT AND REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY PUBLIC THAT'S DAMAGED DURING THE OPERATION DURING THE TEMPORARY BATCH PLANT LOCATED AND OPERATE THE TEMPORARY BATCH PLANT TO MINIMIZE UNNECESSARY DUST AND NOISE AND ODOR AS DEMONSTRATED TO BUT NOT LIMITED TO GOVERNMENT TRUCKS, LOADING AND UNLOADING AND MIXING OPERATIONS.
AND THEY SHALL CONTAIN THE MAIN THING ACCESS ROADS AND TEMPORARY BATCH PLANT SITE WITH MAXIMUM CONTROL TO KEEP IT FRE OF DUST . THOSE AREAS WITH WATER.
WHEN SYSTEM OR IF NECESSARY A WATER TRUCK AND SUBMIT A SITE PLAN TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY CONTAINING AT LEAST THAT A STATEMENT OF SPECIAL PURPOSE OF THE BATCH PLANT AND THE BUILDING A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME WHICH THE PLANT WILL BE OPERATING FOR SPECIFIC SITE PLAN DRAWN TO SCALE, PROVISIONS FOR PARKING, WATER SERVICE AND SANITARY FACILITIES AND THEN A PERMIT MAY BE DENIED OR REVOKED OR SUSPENDED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE CITY CODES, FAILURE TO BE ENCLOSED BY SECURE FENCE, BE LOCATED WITHIN 300 FEET OF AN OCCUPIED RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, EXCESSIVE DUST OR ODORS, SEEPAGE OR RUNOFF MATERIALS. IF ONE OF THOSE CONDITIONS IS FOUND AND THE PERMIT IS DENIED OR REVOKED OR SUSPENDED THE APPLICANT CAN APPEAL THAT DENIAL OR REVOCATION WITHIN 20
[00:05:01]
DAYS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. SO, THERE HAS BEEN SOME DISCUSSIONS POSSIBLY THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS REGARDING THE BATCH PLANT AT MILLER ROAD AND ROWLETT ROAD.AND WHEN THOSE COMPLAINTS CAME IN ON THIS BATCH PLANT SOME OF THE CONCERNS WERE EXCESSIVE DUST, MAINLY THE EXCESSIVE DUST. AND, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO GAUGE THE SUCCESS OF WHAT'S NOT EXCESSIVE.SO WE BASICALLY DEPEND ON THEM TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. THE CEQ CAN HAVE ACCESS WITHIN THE LIMITS. WE DIDN'T TAKE ANY ACTIONS BASED ON THAT.
SO SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT DID COME UP AFTER THAT WORK COULD WE PUT MORE RESTRICTIONS ON THE BATCH PLANTS SHOULD BE CHANGED SO THAT POSSIBLY THOSE THAT PLANTS ARE DONE THROUGH SUV PROCESS INSTEAD OF A TB PROCESS. WITH THE SUV PROCESS IT WOULD REQUIRE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION AND BASICALLY TAKE IT OFF OF ONE STEP AND IN THIS CASE, ME, AND ALLOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO CONSIDER A REVIEW.
THERE'S GOOD POINTS AND BAD POINTS IN THAT. ONE IS ITS LITTLE MORE BURDENSOME FOR THE COUNCIL AND A LITTLE MORE ADMINISTRATIVE INVOLVED BUT IT ALSO GIVES YOU MORE CONTROL OVER WHAT IS DONE AND WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE APPROVED OR NOT APPROVED.
SO, REALLY WHAT WE HAVE GOT WE HAVE BOILED DOWN TO TWO OPTIONS.
CONTINUE WITH THE CURRENT PROCESS WITH SOME CHANGES WHICH WE COULD MODIFY EXISTING REGULATIONS. I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT RECENTLY WAS CONSIDERED BY PCEQ WAS TO INCREASE THE DISTANCE FROM 300 FEET TO A THOUSAND FEET.
THAT FAILED IN THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION. WHEN WE WENT OUT TO CHECK WITH SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES THOSE CITIES WERE USING A 500 FOOT DISTANCE INSTEAD OF 300 FOOT DISTANCE. THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THAT IS THAT THE DUST, FUMES, THE OWNERS, THE THINGS ARE MOSTLY OFFENSIVE TEND TO FALLOUT OF THE AIR WITHIN A CERTAIN DISTANCE . THOSE WERE THE CLAIMS THAT WERE MADE OVER THE THOUSAND FOOT REQUIREMENT THEY WERE TRYING TO PUT IN PLACE WITH PCEQ. BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, THAT FAILS. THAT IS AN OPTION. THE OTHER OPTION IS TO GO TO THE STRAIGHT SUP PROCESS AND FOR THE COUNCIL TO MAKE THOSE DETERMINATIONS AND APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE BASED ON THE CONDITIONS OF THAT PARTICULAR SITE.
AND SO, THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO IS THE CITY COUNCIL HAVE A CONSENSUS REGARDING HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO PROCESS TEMPORARY BATCH PLANTS PERMITS.
DO YOU WANT TO ASSUME MORE RESPONSIBLY IN THIS OR NOT?
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, DALE.
>> I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. THE LAST COUPLE YEARS ON AVERAGE HOW MANY BATCH OPERATIONS WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE CITY? JUST KIND OF LOOKING AT THE SCALE.
>> PROBABLY 2. >> EVERY TIME WE HAVE HAD ONE WE ARE REQUIRED TO PUT A NEW METER LIKE ON THE HYDRANT THE ONE DOWN THERE SO WE CAPTURE THE COST OF THE WATER.
>> THEY DO AND IT'S BASICALLY A CONSTRUCTION HYDRANT METER. WHAT THEY DO IS THEY PUT THE METER ON A FIREFIGHTER FIRE HYDRANT AND THEY HAVE THAT KEEPS THAT WATER GOING BACK TO THE CITY WATER SUPPLY SO IT PROTECTS THE WATER SUPPLY AND ALSO ALLOWS US TO MEET HER.
>> SO WE RECOUPED THE COST OF THAT WATER?
>> YEAH, SO I REQUESTED THIS BECAUSE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT I .
IN PARTICULAR, FROM AN EVENT ACCOUNTABILITY STANDPOINT TO OUR RESIDENTS THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS DOES HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL I CONSIDER TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITY IMPACT COMES INTO A SPACE EVEN IT'S FOR A LIMITED TIME I THINK WE
[00:10:04]
HAVE TO AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SOME ARE MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO THAT AS COUNSEL.NOT THAT WE NECESSARILY NEED TO BE THE MOST PUT OUR STAMP ON IT.
EVERYTHING HAPPENS WITH THE CITY WAS SOMETHING LIKE THISIS SOMEWHAT INTRACTABLE , I BELIEVE. I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION, DALE, THE THING YOU DID NOT ENGINE IS A TRAFFIC IMPACT ON THE AND THAT PARTICULAR BATCH PLANT THAT WAS LOCATED THERE TRUCKS OBVIOUSLY NEED TO EXIT AND TRAVEL SOUTHBOUND AND MAKE A U-TURN TO THE NORTHBOUND TO GET BACK IN THE SITE. LIVING THE CONCRETE AND AGAIN MAKE THEIR WAY BACK TO THE PLANT DOING A CIRCULAR PATTERN. DURING THE MORNING HOURS THAT WAS A HUGE HEADACHE FOR THE RESIDENCE RETURNED TO COMMUTE DOWN THE ROAD AND I KNOW THAT WAS FRUSTRATING FOR THEM.
SO, THE CITY OF DALLAS DID SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS IN THE BASICALLY MADE IT SO THAT WITHIN ALL THE DIFFERENT ZONES THEY HAD ALL THE DIFFERENT ZONING TYPES THAT THEY HAVE AN SUP IS REQUIRED FOR A BATCH PLANT WHETHER IT'S TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT.
SPEAKING MORE TO THE TEMPORARY ASPECT BECAUSE OUR ZONING RULES ENCOMPASS THE PERMIT SIDE OF IT BUT WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE BATCH PLANT. THE GOOD THING ABOUT AN SUP I BELIEVE IS THAT IT ALLOWS ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS. SO WHEN COUNSEL IS THAT ITEM WE CAN ADD ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS IF WE WANTED SUCH AS HOURS OF OPERATION THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE COVERED BY THE ORDINANCE AS IT STANDS NOW.
IT WOULD GIVE US A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY GIVEN THE LOCATION OF A PARTICULAR PLANT.
WE DO HAVE ANOTHER ONE IN THE CITY LIKE I AM 50 PERCENT SURE OF THAT.
I CANNOT PLACE IN MY MIND EXACTLY WHERE IT ISTHAT WE DO HAVE ANOTHER ONE .
THANK YOU THERE WE GO, THANK YOU. SO WE DO HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT HAS BEEN LOCATED, AS WELL. TO YOUR POINT, MIKE, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A HUGE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THEM COMING IN. ASK HER BEFORE AN SUP BASED ON THE SCOPE OF THINGS.
>> FOUR OR FIVE A YEAR. IT'S SMALL.
>> THAT'S REALLY MY TAKE ON IT, COUNSEL. THAT'S THE REASON I ADDED TO THE AGENDA SO WE CAN EITHER ACKNOWLEDGE WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE AND WAN TO CONTINUE WITH THE TUP THE TEMPORARY USE PERMIT PROCESS OR AMEND THE ORDINANCE AND LOOK AT GOING THE ROUTE OF AN SUP WHICH I PERSONALLY AM IN FAVOR OF.
>> SO I HAVE A QUESTION. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE PERMIT APPLICANT --?
X USING THE HYBRID APPROACH >> USING THE HYBRID APPROACH WE HAVE A LOT OF REAL ESTATE OTHER LET'S SAY THAT IF YOU WANT TO LOCATED BACK WITHIN HYPOTHETICALLY LESS THAN 2000 FEET FROM A HOME YOU CAN HAVE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TRIGGER.
ANYTHING ABOVE THAT THAT SWIMSUIT WOULD NOT REQUIRE A SIX, IS THAT POSSIBLE? THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING IS MAYBE BECAUSE I'M THINKING ABOUT THE NORTH SHORE AND OTHERS. WHETHER HOMES ARE VERY SPREAD OUT.
AND SO, WE DO HAVE START TO FUNNEL THE THINGS THERE SHOULD BE A FAST PLANT THERE ARE GOING TO BE DOING A LOT OF CONCRETE WHATEVER IS BUILT UP THERE. SO, ANYTHING THAT'S ABOVE 2000 FEET FROM A HOME WOULD BE NECESSARILY RECORDED SUP. BUT BELOW 2000 FEET FROM A HOME WOULD TRIGGER A SUP REQUIREMENT AND ORSELECT INCREASE THE MINIMUM DISTANCE FROM 3 TO 5 , FOR SURE. ANYTHING ABOVE 500 WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY.
ANYTHING ABOVE 500 FEET THEY COULD REQUEST SUP BETWEEN 2000 AND 500 FEET.
>> I THINK THAT'S A REASONABLE TRADE OUT THERE. AT LEAST IT WILL PROTECT THE HIGHER DENSITY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WILL FALL WITHIN THAT WOULD TRIGGER A SUP.
>> CAN I WEIGH IN ON THIS? BECAUSE I LIVE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THERE.
THAT WAS A COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE SITE FOR A BATCH PLANT, PERIOD.
I WAS LIKE, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU KNOW,, IT WAS JUST, SO, I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA. ONE THING THAT DID BOTHER ME WAS WHO APPROVES THE SLIPS, DO YOU APPROVE THE SLIP?
>> IF THAT SITE IS MORE THAN AN ACRE THEY HAVE TO HAVE A SLIP COME TO THE OFFICE.
[00:15:01]
NINE ACRE, LESS THAN AN ACRE, I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO USE A KIND OF NPDES OR TPD IS NOT REQUIRED TO DO ANYTHING BUT IN THE INSTANCE OF THE MILLER ROWLETT ONE LAST YEAR WE DID REQUIRE THAT THEY HAVE SLOWED CONTAINMENT AND THE MONITOR.>> DID YOU? BECAUSE THAT WAS PRETTY SKETCHY? PROBABLY FIT WITHIN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS LIKE DIRT KNOCKOFFS SOMEONE JUST HAD SHORT COLUMNS THERE AND SEE ANY DUST NOT REGULAR DUST MITIGATION I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WE EVER REQUIREMENT FOR DUST MITIGATION ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST WATER.
SO, SOME OF THESE STORMWATER SEDIMENT CONTROLS WITH THE BATCH PLANTS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AT LEAST CONSIDER --BE WRITTEN INTO IT.
>> WITH THE SUP LIKE JEFF SAID YOU CAN HAVE CONDITIONS THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO THAT PARTICULAR SUP VERSUS HAVING THE ORDINANC COVERED .
>> PART OF IT IS WHERE IT WAS.
>> NOW, I WOULD LOVE TO GET A LEGAL OPINION ON A SUP BECAUSE EVERY SHOW TODAY TO KIND OF VERIFY THIS PROCESS AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE HIS RESPONSE, I BELIEVE, THAT A SUP RESIDES WITH THE ZONING THAT'S ON THE PROPERTY ONCE IT'S ESTABLISHED IT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE WITHIN THE BOUNDS TO HAVE A SUP THAT EXPIRES, I MEAN, WHAT'S YOUR TAKE? CAN YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON HOW A SUP WORKS AND PROVIDES WITH THE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY OR WHAT?
>> IT WOULD GO TO THE SAME STUFF AS OTHER ZONING CHANGE DOES ANYTHING THAT PNC RECOMMENDS. ONCE IS BASICALLY THAT BECAUSE IT SUP IS A ZONING CHANGE YOU CANNOT HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE ON A SUP UNLESS YOU GO TO THE SENATE FORMAL PROCESS FOR APPEALING. THERE'S ANOTHER LINE OF CASES THIS IS THE ONLY THING YOU GET IS IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU NEED A SUP. I KIND OF LIKE THE SECOND LINE OF CASES BETTER. OBVIOUSLY. HAVING A SUP REGULATE THE HEAD EXPIRATION DATES WITH THE CITY. AND I'M CONFIDENT THAT IF WE GO WE WE WOULD WIN I'M SURE WE WOULD. BUT IF WE RENTED SUP IS IN EFFECT A ZONING CHANGE FOR WHATEVER DURATION WE PUT ON THIS SUP WE CAN USE IT ON THE LABOR LOAN IT LANDOWNER AS LONG AS I CAN-.
>> MAYBE THE ANSWERS IS TO HAVE THE STAFF LOOK AT OTHER ALTERNATIVES THAT THEY HAVE NOT CONSIDERED UP TO THIS POINT THAT MIGHT AT THE RELIGION WE ARE LOOKING FOR WITHOUT THE LEGAL CHALLENGES THAT MIGHT PRESENT. MAYBE THERE'S SOME OTHER
BATTLEGROUND. >> THE REGULATIONS.OW ON THE TABLE THEY ARE NOT BROAD AND VAGUE BUT THEY'RE NOT AS DETAILED OR AS GRAPHIC AS YOU MIGHT HAVE WE CAN ALWAYS BE FULL OF OUR REGULATIONS. TO SOME EXTENT, THEY RELY ON COUNCILS PART IN STAFF STABILITY WITH FIRE REGULATIONS TO GRANT EXCEPTIONS IN A REASONABLE WAY AND NOT JUST ON THE HEAVY ENDED WAY.
>> WITH AS FEW AS THESE AS WE HAVE I THINK THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO PLAY SOME ROLE IN THE
DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. >> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SUP PROCESS IN GENERAL BUT THINK OF THE GOOD TO GRANT A SUP FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME AND WHATEVER CASES WANT TO POST IT CAN BE DONE. I LIKE THE 2000 DISTANCE.
>> I MEAN YOU'RE LOOKING AT PLACES LIKE NORTH SHORE WHERE IT'S COMMON SENSE BUT ANYTHING BELOW THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING FOR COUNSEL TO TAKE A LOOK AT. I MEAN THE SUP THING SEEMS, I FOR NOT ABLE TO DO A SUP IN TERMS OF LIABILITY TO DO A SUP I WOULD EVEN CONSIDER SAYING THAT THE MINIMUM DISTANCE IS 1000 FEET ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A LEGISLATION FILE SO WE AND TYPICALLY WITH THOSE KIND OF LEGISLATIVE ISSUES THEY COME BACK, BACK, AND BACK UNTIL THEY ARE EVENTUALLY APPROVED. AND SO, WE COULD BE AHEAD OF A LEGISLATIVE ACTION BY DOING THAT IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO PURSUE THE SUP PROCESS DUE TO
[00:20:03]
ITS INTRICATE, UNKNOWN REALLY KIND OF.>> DAVID, COULD WE DO IT AS A TUP AND STIPULATE IT REQUIRES COUNSEL?
>> TECHNICALLY, THAT WAS GET US OUT OF THE ALL OF THE SUP.
>> WE DON'T CALL IT A ZONING CHANGE RECALL A TUP.
>> THE SAME CONCEPT CARRIES. THE SUP DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. THE COUNCIL APPROVED TUP FOR BASICALLY BATCH PLANTS THAT ARE IN AN AREA 2000 FEET OR LESS AND OBVIOUSLY 500 FEET ABOVE DISTANCE FROM HOMES.
>> WE AVOIDED THE ZONING ISSUES. BYPASS PNZ.
>> THEY CAN COME STRAIGHT TO COUNSEL.
>> REQUIREMENT THAT JASON GETS NOTICED.
>> MANY CITIES DO. SEVERAL CITIES I HAVE WORKED WITH THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON JUST LISTENING TO THE CONVERSATION. I WANTED TO JUMP IN BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS MOST CITIES ARE NOT USING SUP, MANY CITIES, LET ME SAY MANY CITIES ARE USING TEMPORARY PERMIT AND HAVE AN MINISTERIAL APPROVAL BASED ON THE CRITERIA WHETHER IT'S POVERTY OR THOUSAND.
APPROXIMATELY 2X AND THE COMMON THE MOST FAMILIAR WITH HAVE THIS PROVISION.
>> I THINK THAT'S A REASONABLE REASONABLE AND MAYBE HOW TO A YEAR.
>> THAT'S NOT A HEAVY BURDEN ON STAFF.
>> WE CAN USE THE SAME REQUIREMENTS BUT NOTICE AS THEY DO FOR ZONING.
>> I AM GOOD WITH THAT. THAT'S A HAPPY MIDDLE GROUND.
>> I DON'T THINK AT THIS POINT I WILL BE SUGARS LEGISLATIVE ACTION THAT MATCHES THIS.
>> YOU WANT TO SIGN SPECIFIC IN A LOCATION SPECIFIC
>> ANYTHING ELSE? SEEMS LIKE THAT WAS A REASONABLE CONCLUSION THERE.
>> FROM MY PERSPECTIVE NOT A DISTRUST IN ITS TAX DECISION-MAKING IT'S MORE ABOUT THAT WE END UP BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS LOCATION AS MICHAEL SAID.
>> THE STAFF AS WELL SO YOU DON'T HAVE ONE PERSON --.
>> OKAY, WELL, WITH THAT THAT CONCLUDES THAT ITEM. JUST THE RECORD IS NOT JUST BUSY ANYMORE. ITIS BUSY .
[3. EXECUTIVE SESSION]
>> OUR NEXT ITEM IS EXECUTIVE SESSION WE SHALL CONVENE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION
>> IT IS 7:11 PM WE HAVE CONCLUDED THE EXECUTIVE SESSION WITH NO FORMAL ACTION TAKEN
[4. DISCUSS CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS FOR OCTOBER 10, 2023 SPECIAL MEETING. TAKE ANY NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE ACTION ON CLOSED/EXECUTIVE SESSION MATTERS]
NEXT TIME IS TO DISCUSS AGENDA ITEMS FOR THE NEXT MEETING ON OCTOBER 10, 2023.>> THE LAST ITEM, I WILL WAIT FOR. WELL, IS JEFF COHEN OUT THERE? THE LAST ITEM ON CONSENT IS THE OFFICE SPACE RENOVATION/
>> FINANCE >> YEAH, IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE THERE. THEY DID A GOOD JOB ITEMIZING WHAT IS BEING SPENT ON WHAT MATERIAL COST WISE BUT IT DID NOT SPECIFY WHAT IS FOR FINANCE AND WHAT IS FOR THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. I DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS IT LOOKS LIKE $75,000 IS BEING SPLIT EVENLY AND YOU KNOW HOW SMALL THE OFFICE IS. THEY ARE JUST FIXING THE
>> PANELING >> YEAH, THE WALLPAPER.
THE WALLPAPER HAS COME APART. THAT'S ALL IT IS I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THAT $75,000 TO
[00:25:05]
PUT A SHARED RUG AND A LOUIS VUITTON LEATHER CHAIR. [LAUGHTER] IS PROBABLY $2000 AND MOST. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT IN CASE ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS.I DID LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?
>> THE ELECTIONS, THE EARLY ELECTION UNTIL THE CONSOLE WHERE WE COULD EARLY VOTE IN
OUR UTILITY BUILDING. >> IT IS FOR ELECTION DAY, RIGHT? BECAUSE OF THE TIMING. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN BY NOVEMBER 7. IT HAS TO BE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE SO THEY HAVE A DEADLINE TO BE OPEN EITHER TCO ORCO .
