 goals. These are our set out objectives, if you will. Our strategy and highlights from the bond program, the selection process itself will review that and then of course the City Council's approved projects, the five propositions that will be on the ballot and of course the bond program schedule moving forward. So taking a look at our program goals, this is what we always look back to as a test. It's our litmus test, if you will, that once we've developed the program we go back and review it against these these stated goals. So we want to maintain and improve existing infrastructure and address equity or provide mobility and city services in those growth areas. The 2020 census revealed that we had about 24 percent growth rate since 2010 over that 10-year span. Particularly in the northwest sector of the city we had a 76 percent growth rate so we're still actively growing enhanced our active transportation recreational corridors allow for some flexibility and partnership opportunities and of course achieve balance and fiscal stewardship trying to balance our operating and our capital budget. We want to make sure if we build something new we've got operating and maintenance costs that are going to go along with the life of that facility so we either got a staff it keep the lights on etc. A little bit about our strategy on the capital livery side we dedicated about 29.8 million dollars specifically to transportation in Park Park being a small portion of that related to the design elements for the Forest Park pool replacement but the balance of this would go towards our arterial projects where we can go out and do some early design work secure some right-of-way at least know where that right-of-way is at so we can better accelerate the delivery of this capital because we still have Encore and other franchised utilities that need to relocate and move out of the way before we even get started. Our debt capacity we still got some debt capacity beyond the $560 million it's programmed for this 2022 bond program but we need to preserve some we're gonna have emergency situations we'll have partnership opportunities that will come up outside of the bond cycle also might have grant match opportunities that we need to capitalize on some of the highlights well we've got $365 million program for streets and mobility in addition to that we have $71.6 million dollars that came from Tarrant County bond funds Tarrant County had a successful election in November of last year and committed to four arterial projects that we were going to do so together we're gonna do them and one grade separated railroad crossing we got another 59.8 million dollars it comes from other funding sources the city had together almost a half a billion dollars worth the streets and mobility improvement projects on the park side we've got $121 million in the bond program combined that with $13.2 million dollars that we've got from partnership funds from third parties another $3.9 million dollars from other funding sources together $138 million worth of park improvements and no tax rate increase associated with this program so how do we get here how's a project get developed what comes from many different areas data collection analysis we're collecting data on a daily basis we're looking at pavement condition indexes look at facility condition index where are these infrastructure in the in terms of their life cycle master plan and strategic goals guidance documents tells us how our capital planning needs to take place over the next five ten twenty years development activity that's occurring city council will wait listed projects from previous bonds that didn't quite make it ranked high but we're putting forward on future bond program service demands public meetings neighborhood meetings boards and commissions all that goes into play when developing a project the selection process we started with 1.3 billion dollars worth of projects so somehow we had to get that down to a 500 million dollar program that's what we initially started at so we ask the departments and submit us your projects it goes to a prioritization committee that committee is made up of individuals from different departments around the city that are the first filter if you will a prioritizing those projects we asked the departments tells how much it's going to cost right when do you need it delivered by are there own and expenses associated with your project so is it a new facility or expanding facility a lab additional operating and maintenance costs committee I'll take a look at that across the spectrum with about ten applied criteria one criteria that we use for this bond program that was absent from 2018 was equity so we look no further than the Fort Worth race task force on race and culture for inspiration on how we could answer that or best address equity so we ask the basic questions really simple does the project eliminate or reduce racial and cultural disparities does it lie within or jason to a majority area or super majority minority area majority minority area is really just a census block with a minority population of 50 percent of greater a super majority minority areas one at 75 percent greater and of course applied all the other criteria is a collaborate with other projects the other sharing resources are their leverage opportunities this one we had a significant amount of leverage opportunity from the county does it address service delivery do we have deficiencies that need to be addressed is it a capital replacement something that's gone beyond its useful life does it address health and safety concerns are there state or federal or contractual mandates that require us to add additional funding for the bond program and of course we take all that to management with our first shot at prioritization for their look at it asking more questions filtering process even more then ultimately on the city council city council review and provide some input on what's presented to them and ultimately say let's take it out to the community and let's get some feedback and so we did spent the latter part of last summer early fall doing just that and of course the final project list is developed and in February 8th of this year city council approved an ordinance calling for the election so subsequent to the public input we realized heavy emphasis on arterials especially added capacity projects more importantly all our streets and mobility heavy on everybody's mind so we added forty five point five million dollars to what was scheduled to be a five hundred million dollar boat bond program parking recreation improvements eight point one million you know principally to the forest park pool replacement stop six aquatic facilities essentially enlarging those facilities increase funding for the botanic gardens and of course we added another project of Grove Park and then on the facility side we added three point six million dollars principally land acquisition we've seen costs over the last couple of years continue to rise and we wanted to account for that related to two fire station replacements so today we're at five hundred sixty million dollar bond program two-thirds of which goes to streets and mobility infrastructure improvements another quarter of it to park and recreation improvements and the rest dispersed to police and fire public library and then our natural area and open space so what you'll see on the ballot is it'll be titled Fort Worth Proposition A it'll be streets and mobility infrastructure improvements at three hundred sixty nine million dollars the map just kind of identifies the location where those those key arterial projects grade separated crossing the established corridors in our neighborhood streets so what our emphasis is is added network capacity for arterials and intersections sidewalks bicycle lanes safety improvements key focus neighborhood school safety our high injury network or vision zero program ridges streetlights and then again maintaining and improving our existing network established corridors upgrades to traffic signals in our neighborhood street rehabilitation program this gives you the list by project category and along with the associated funding in highlighted in green on the three hundred sixty nine million dollars Tarrant County as I mentioned earlier seventy one point six and then of course those other funds from sources this funding the city already had and transportation impact fees future improvement agreements previous bonds at fifty nine point eight and again to four hundred ninety seven million dollars so highlighted in green on this chart are the added capacity we started out with nine arterial projects we've moved to fourteen so we've added five out of the public meetings and you can see the twenty twenty two bond fund amount at about a hundred and forty five million add in the Tarrant County add in the other funding sources we added Bailey Boswell from 157 to horseman road now some of these are going to be designed in right away only we want to be able to design the project select and secure the right of way so if we know that in advance we're able to accelerate delivery of this project sooner rather than later you can go to the city's website and there'll be additional detail about each one of these projects this map just shows you the arterial projects that are planned it's only showing the north half of the city again that's where we're seeing the highest amount of growth and the highest need for our arterial projects intersections again centralized down to the southwest our established corridors to support transit we've got ten million dollars assigned to Lancaster Avenue between Jones Street and Hanley Drive and these are really just corridor improvements that we want to focus on pedestrian bicycle really the interface between the vehicular traffic and all other modes of transportation they'm with Eastbury and McCart Avenue two and a half million dollars for each really for design only but we may have an opportunity also collect some right away along the way on safety and mobility our vision zero program really what we're trying to do here is take those fatalities to zero so we want to reduce those severe injuries or fatalities take them to zero hence the name vision zero program five million dollars dedicated to that effort it would be to address all modes of transportation from pedestrian bicycle to vehicular in those top ten corridors we know where they're at we have the statistics for those question is what type of improvements can we make in each one of those corridors so we have a consultant that's helping out our transportation public works with determining the type of improvements that could be made within those corridors again to reduce those fatalities to zero everman parkway connector south into town this is connecting 35 to everman there's a stretch of roadway in there that the county has agreed to participate in it about 13 and a half million dollars so it's a design of a four lane divided thoroughfare most importantly though it's a great separated crossing at the Union Pacific Railroad a little bit too at sycamore Creek what's also run through there footwork proposition be parking recreation improvements and again the map just kind of shows you the general disbursement of those projects around the city again footwork proposition be these are the project types totaling up to a hundred and twenty three million nine hundred fifty five thousand now it also includes the public art component so for transportation projects to be one percent for all other propositions with the exception of natural space and natural area and open space which has no public art participation and you can see the partnership funds at about thirteen point two million dollars the other funds the two million dollars will be some grass gas well revenue of the four hundred eighty six thousand for park with park dedication fees which interesting is when we added oak grove we took three million dollars from the plan five million dollar project for sycamore park we added it to oak grove and doing so we came back in with two million dollars worth of funding from gas well revenue again to bring the total project cost up to about four million dollars we added another four hundred eighty six thousand to the three million that we added to oak grove to bring it to three point four million dollars so patented garden infrastructure improvements a few years ago we entered into an agreement with patented research Institute of Texas a contractual obligation when there from now on going to maintain and operate the tenant gardens when we turned it over to him we turned it over to him with infrastructure that was degrading or at the end of its useful life we committed in that contract to put forward future bond programs funding to help replace some of those aging infrastructure this is seven million dollars to help with that effort heritage and paddock park renovation and site improvements heritage park sits on the north end of the downtown the convergence of main street if you go out there today it's got a chain link fence around it can't even access the park when you go back in and do substantive design and reconstruction of those improvements along with paddock park and some streetscape improvements so we can make it more pedestrian friendly environment and integrate that with the park Fort Worth water gardens built in 1971 it's undergone some limited renovations over the years but what's happened is a lot of that vegetative growth out there in those root systems have found their way into the plumbing the filtration system the electrical systems and degraded those things that you don't you can't see they're below ground but are in desperate need of renovation or replacement and that's six and a half million dollars to that effort our drainage and erosion control and pond dredging projects about seven point one million dollars you can see the disbursement of the the projects around the city this is a significant dam replacements or pond dredging you know some of this we use for stormwater detention as that thing sills up it reduces our stormwater carrying capacity this again comes back in and drains it removes some of the sediment meadowbrook golf course renovation much like we did with Rockwood golf course from the 2014 bond we want to go back in and improve playability of the golf course by adjusting teas fairways looking at some drainage improvements out there as well golf cart paths etc we got the sycamore park improvements that I mentioned earlier two million dollars but again there's additional funding from gas well revenue of another two million that'll be added to this and that's the design and construction of those master plan park amenities sycamore park was formerly sycamore golf course it was decommissioned about three almost four years ago now went through a master planning effort in 2020 and so we've got a master plan park now we want to come back in and construct some of those traditional community park improvements from trails picnic facilities security lighting etc outgrow park outgrow park was purchased by the city in 2015 it's undeveloped so this would go to it's about 67 acres so this would go to master planning design and construction of that park amenities stop six aquatic facility 8.2 million dollars does be a public pool be located to the adjacent to the stop six hub community center and I'll talk about that in just a moment but this is design and construction of an outdoor aquatic facility we went from four to eight lanes this outgrowth of the public public meetings they wanted to see a larger public pool same with forest park pool replacement we've just started into the design phase of that forest park pool replacement it was clear that the public wanted a larger pool something more kin to what is out there today so we enlarged it lengthening the length of the lanes of the pools and adding I believe four more lanes to get to eight echo lake park improvements we acquired this from the county 2017 they gave us the property and what they gave us was a bunch of deteriorating infrastructure a lot of playgrounds that weren't ADA compliant this is to come back in and take that 41 acres and master plan and design and construction of our typical park amenities it sits adjacent to our worth heights community center today gateway park development this is the continuation of the gateway park development this will be an update to the master plan we'll come back in with athletic fields trails skate park some security lighting some redoing some parking lots etc. neighborhood park improvements we have eight so these are park reserves these are undeveloped tracks of land that we've acquired over the years that need to be developed at some point in time with a park with a neighborhood park so this would be master planning design and construction of park amenities one of which West Haven Park and I'll point it out is one that was formerly van zant YMCA we ended up acquiring that from the YMCA removing the pool another infrastructure out there this is to come back in and master plan and develop it as a neighborhood park Martin Luther King Park right now MLK community center sits on this property it's about 2.8 I think it's about 2.86 acres we are going to remove Martin Luther King community center we're going to redevelop where it's at today with a park it is going to be replaced with the stop six hub community center stop six hub community center 17 and a half million dollars it's a 28,000 square foot community center it's going to be your traditional community center with all the recreational components to it but we're going to add something we're going to add a library to it we're going to add space for social services for some of those providers one stop shop if you will for the community fire station community center was one of those in the 2018 that was between Diamond Hill and Forest Park Forest fire station community center replacement they were kind of neck and neck and so we decided to go ahead all the things that were wrong with it before are still wrong with it today went ahead and put it on the 2022 bond program so we've got a 1928 vintage fire station that's been added on to over the years and it looks like you know it's added on to it as you needed programming etc we got a second floor can access it's not ADA compliant we can't use it for programming needs so it just doesn't fit the model today of our community centers when we take down portions of the fire station community center we're going to pay respect to the 1928 vintage fire station these components of that and integrate that into the new design so forward zoo I mentioned contractual obligations well for a zoo logical society we have a contract with they put all those exhibits they maintain the zoo they operate the zoo our commitment under that contract is that we were provide funding for the construction of utility infrastructure to support their new exhibits trail gap connections this would be citywide about five and a half million dollars now there's three areas that we're focusing on right now is bomber spur mistletoe bridge to forest park and sycamore creek trail again we're gonna take this five and a half million dollars we're gonna try to leverage it as much as we can with other third-party agencies in order to maximize the amount of trail we can actually go forward proposition C is a new public library far northwest Fort Worth what we're looking at is around Havondale-Hasslet at Sundara ranch in a three mile radius of where we're targeting for this library we had 3,260 people call Fort Worth home within that three mile radius in a year of a pandemic so that's what we gained in 2020 right now within that three mile radius we're bumping up on 20,000 people so this will go to land acquisition design and construction week already have our our land identified for this project so hopefully we can secure clothes on that land quickly and get started with this project for the proposition D is our police and fire public safety proposition we've got one new police facility and two fire station replacements at thirty nine point two million dollars fire station 37 we moved on to its current site I think it's at forty nine seventy one Ray Wright we're owed as a modular building and then right adjacent to it we built a metal building to hold the fire apparatus again temporary building moved on site 1998 it's time to find it a permanent home that's nine and a half million dollars fire station 16 replacement a little over ten million dollars okay this is about a 57 year old station that's at the end of its useful life we've got the captain's quarters that actually is located in one of the fire apparatus base we've got the bay doors that we actually have to lower the suspension of the fire apparatus just to get it in the door there's so many things wrong with it we can accommodate female firefighters with it is we can do no level of expansion or renovation to this building to make it right you really just have to start all over again so we're looking at putting it at a different location that meets the needs of the fires the fire department so we've got some land dollars allocated for this project as well police northwest patrol division 18.6 million dollars we already own the property it's about 66 acres west of mecham at 3900 angle Avenue this is to build a 32,000 square foot facility to centralize if you will the northwest patrol division right now portions of them are housed at Hemphill portions in the downtown portions in the stock yard and then of course across or on the east side of the airfield they pay about a hundred and fifty one thousand dollars a year in rent they can take that they're taking that out of their operating costs right now they can take that hundred fifty one thousand and put it to other resources so it kind of liberates them if you will from that from that lease obligation. Proposition E is our natural area and open space so for 2021 the end of 2021 over the prior three years we're losing 47 acres a week to development that's Greenfield to development in 2022 which is only six months old our fiscal year we've lost 1,440 acres to development this 15 million dollars is go to secure some of that property that's most environmentally sensitive property that we have around the city to create an open space plan we've already done that with a 50 acre purchase of broadcast hill so many benefits associated with this we can use it as passive recreational opportunities improves air and water quality etc so you're the summary of propositions I know I went through them really quickly I would invite you to go online and get more detail about the 110 neighborhood rebuilt street rehabilitation projects to see if your street actually appears on that if it does not reach out to transportation and public works it may already be on another list for a street rehabilitation and not necessarily a part of this bomb program so proposition a forward proposition a streets and mobility infrastructure 369 million park and recreation improvements forward proposition B at 123 public library improvements forward proposition C at 12 and a half police and fire public safety improvements for with proposition D 39.3 and then of course natural area and open space proposition E so moving forward right from this day all the way up really all the way up to the election we're going to be holding a series of public information meetings again go to the website determine where those might be in close proximity you and I encourage you to attend April 25th is early voting again there'll be more information on the website about where those locations are for early voting May 7th is election day so again if you have any questions I invite you again to visit the the city's website to get more detail on each one of these projects to the propositions mine you don't hear anything Roger offered to do this prior should let him so Rogers had a year and a half to perfect his presentation so you have to bear with me I'm not as dynamic a speaker is him on my best day so after those five propositions on your ballot process day 3 for the bonds you will see starting with proposition F 13 proposed charter amendments charter is not generally and a topic that is particularly interesting I'll do my best to get through it quickly and informatively so as Roger said back on back on February 8th council adopted the elections ordinances both the bond election and the charter election chart election set for May 17th or May 7th excuse me there are 13 per state law they have to be lettered so their F through Q they pick up right where the bond ones left off there are total 13 the one you've probably heard about is the mayor and council pay and then there are 12 technical amendments all 13 are topics that had previously in 2016 been sent to a charter review task force and recommended for inclusion on the election 12 of those 13 did not make the prior ballot said they're being picked up now so as I said the one you've probably heard about already is the pay for the mayor and council what is proposed is not going to read the entire ballot language but I do encourage you to read it closely when you're voting that what's proposed is for the mayor's annual pay to be one half of the average for the base rate salary for department heads so it's across the city and then for all the other council members to be one half of the base rate salary for all of the assistant department heads so currently we have fixed numbers in the charter for those salaries for the pay mayor is 29,000 the other council members are 25,000 the other large cities in Texas that have a Mount manager council form of government so Austin Dallas San Antonio their pay rate ranges for their council members from 45,000 up to 83,000 and for their mayors from 61,000 up to 97 and a half thousand so 29 and 25 obviously a little bit outside that scale rather than proposing a fixed number again the suggestion was made to have an index to say let's make the salary tied to some other other pay in the city so that we don't have to as time goes on and salary rates change we don't have to go back out to the voters again when we go out to the voters to hold an election if the city is the only one on the ballot we were it's about $500,000 for the city to hold an election so this was kind of a way to try to address the issue keep it in line with city pay but also not have it fixed in a dollar amount where it requires going out repeatedly as they become stale so as I said for the mayor one half of the department head for the other council members one half of the assistant department head so if this were adopted then as the council adopts and reviews the budget for each year they would actually set their salaries they look at what the actual base rate pay is for all of the department heads and assistant department heads in that coming year and it would be one half of the average of those it's an index so it changes from day to day because for example our human resources department ran numbers on January 18th and based on those numbers the salaries would have been the pay for the mayor would have been 99,653 and the pay for the city council I'm sorry yes 99,653 and for the other council members would have been 76 727 they ran those numbers again today and as of the people who are in those positions today mayor would be 99 967 so up a little bit and the council members would be 74,520 so down a little bit again it'll be a point in time calculation each year as the budget is adopted so the other key point when you're looking at a charter amendment is to identify where there's a fiscal impact this would obviously have a fiscal impact going from 29 and 25 to one half of the department and assistant director respectively for nine council members assuming those numbers that I gave you originally our first run on the numbers on January 8th or 18th the total for the nine members starting in FY 23 all nine together would be 484,469 so it's different between the 25 and 29 versus one half of the numbers I quoted earlier when 24 rolls around it just clear 24 rolls around we will have 11 council members so obviously that's two additional council members impacted so that fiscal impact is would be 58,923 and that's again with the numbers the illustrative numbers from January 18th so were there actually people in attendance here I'm sure this is where a lot of questions would be hopeful have some before the presentation's done the the remaining 12 amendments are all very technical again these are all items so it's items G through Q I'm sorry G through R and they're all items again that were proposed by our charter election review committee back in 2016 so for proposition G essentially what this would say is when you when we do our tenure every 10 year redistricting we don't have to have a meets and bounds description now I will say this was recommended by the charter committee the charter doesn't explicitly say you have to have meets and bounds but I guess out of an abundance of caution the recommendation was we should say that we don't think about it when you're doing redistricting saying this side of Riverside or this side of the river or this side of some other identifiable boundary is more useful than saying meets and bounds you know 39 degrees north X minutes and seconds so this would just say explicitly there's no meets and bounds required when we do redistricting proposition H is to address a kind of an odd little thing we have in our charter currently the some of the appointed officials the city secretary city manager and city attorney and all of the department heads have the right to request a hearing before the city council if they are terminated after their six year probationary period now the way it's the reason I say it's a little odd is the department heads don't work for council the charter actually says that the council can't direct what happens those people work for the city manager and the charters makes it illegal for council to direct what the people who report to our city manager do so it's very odd they would hold a hearing but they would be in no position to grant relief it's also a little odd because it doesn't specify time frame doesn't say where you file it doesn't say how soon after you've been terminated you would have to file so it creates a lot of questions and in the time that I've been with the city almost 16 years now I believe two people have inquired about holding the hearing I don't know that either one actually ended up with hearing so this would eliminate that and say just repeal all those references to the hearing proposition I is to change the time period when individuals want to get something on the ballot they file a petition whether they want to have a referendum to add to adopt an ordinance or to change the charter or if they want to actually try to recall their council persons the mechanism for doing that as you file a petition city secretary has to review that petition currently they have 10 days to review that petition when you're talking about potential let's say recall of a city-wide office that's thousands of signatures and 10 days in order to comply with that requirement would probably require hiring temporary staffing so this would extend that time period for review of those petitions from 10 days to 25 days this again was a recommendation of that charter committee review charter review committee a number of the charter proposed charter amendments relate to changing things where the charter has not kept up with the current city practice and this is one of those so promises and J would take out currently our charter says that the finance department is to assess and collect our city taxes well as anyone who's paid their tax bill knows that you don't write your check to the city at 4th you write your check to the Tarrant County tax assessor collector so this amendment would propose taking out that reference so it would not be listed as a duty of the finance department and it would comply with our current practice which is that the county does it similarly keeping up with or updating to catch up with current practice proposition K would eliminate the reference that we have currently in our city charter that says the city shall have a department of health the city does still maintain some health functions our code compliance department does restaurant inspections and some health functions for over a decade around the 2010 timeframe if I remember correctly the city in the county got together realized wait the county is doing health city is doing health maybe we should just have one of us do it not duplicate efforts so since that time most of the public health these have been handled by our county health department so this would eliminate the reference that says the city is to must have a public health department it's not to say that we couldn't at some point in the future decide to have one it's not a prohibition against having one it's just saying we're not required to have one and that again is just to kind of get catch up with our current practice so proposition L is relating to when the city sells pieces of public property currently the city charter requires that notice to be published four times once a week every week in the city newspaper publish publication costs is not inexpensive and the newspaper doesn't reach in all honesty as many people as it used to so the proposed charter change again from the 2016 proposal would be have a single newspaper publication for people to read the paper and then for those four weeks put that notice on the city's website and keep it up there for the whole period so that if people are interested in buying the property they would be aware that that was going on and this only applies when you're selling property that's worth 125,000 or more so another cleanup type changes proposition M currently the city charter says that the city shall impose an assessment for people for the abutting property owners if they come in and they do sidewalk and curb work in front of a house or in front of a building city hasn't actually imposed those assessments for a number of years so this again would repeal that requirement it would leave the discretion to have it it would change it from a shall assess to a may assess so if a time came when that made sense to do it could still be done but it would not be a mandatory requirement as that has not actually been taking place some of the places where our charter is proposed for amendment is just simply to try to make sure we're not conflicting with state law this is one of those currently our charter has a very specific date by which the tax assessor collector has to submit the tax roll to the city right now the date specified in our charter matches state law but every two years the legislature meets in Austin and every two years they could change those things so the proposed change here would be to simply say under our charter whenever you have to submit under the state law that's the date by which you submit so we don't end up in a situation where our state law and our charter don't match public service corporation reports so our charter says that public service corporations have to file these reports annually with the city again this is a prop process that has not actually been employed for a number of years to the extent this information you're looking for this information it's readily available for most these companies online either from the state utility public utility commission or from the companies themselves and so rather than have the added requirement of having these folks file with our city secretary's office this would eliminate that entirely proposition P the city's official advertising contract currently under our city charter under state law we have to go out we have to put certain notices again in the newspaper under state law and those notices have to go to our official paper of record the charter requires the city to go out for bid and get to have a competition for a paper of record every single year while the idea of a competition amongst papers is nice the reality is there aren't a lot of papers to compete and if you have to keep going out for bid there's a staff time associated with going out for bid having to really go shit a new contract so the recommendation here would be to simply say instead of that every year contract it could be a multi-year contract it just allows at the discretion so when it seems appropriate in the in the opinion of the city manager's office that we need to go back out it's been a while we should go back out for bid we would but we would not be required to go every single year so hopefully this would increase efficiency and save some money almost unsteer stick with me proposition Q is related to annexation elections now this this provision it's interesting to read it's clearly something that probably dates all the way back to the 1920 Charter some of the references are very archaic so this amendment would strip out all of the archaic language all the references about the mayor calling an election which the mayor can't call an election directly anymore and would simply say call an election in accordance with state law and mark the ballot because right now it says you punched the ballot and we haven't punched ballots in probably a couple decades and then our final one our independent auditors the city every year engages in independent auditor they review they do that what's the annual financial comprehensive report I think I've got those act those letters out of order and so they review the city's financials they review the grant programs under our charter it currently has language that says the auditor must review the budget statements when our former CFO came on board we looked at that and we were trying to figure out what that meant because there aren't this the provision of references doesn't actually include any statements per se so we've been having the auditor review our budget adoption process rather than have tried to make up work to match something in the charter that were unsure what it means anymore this provision would revise it and simply say they would perform the normal audit that everyone understands to be part of your comprehensive annual audit and financial report so it's 13 13 amendments and 13 minutes I think as Roger said we've got key election dates coming up we'll be doing these public meetings I think there's 10 or 11 of them scheduled today's first one they'll be going through at least April 25th possibly later there's additional information about the charter election including the full text of the ordinance of the ordinance that called the election which has you know a lot a strike through version of the charter she can see exactly what would change is online as is some more information including the presentations that were made to City Council in developing this the last day to register for vote for those who are not already registered is April 7th which is a month before the election day first day of early voting will be April 25th that will run through May 3rd and then of course election day itself will be Saturday the 7th so there's additional information as I said on the website if you have questions in the interim you can reach out via the website there I believe going to be dedicated links with an email address so you can submit your questions on the bonds or the charter on the city's webpage so Michelle do we have any questions on the charter election really it's so interesting all right well thank you everyone for coming out in addition to the meetings that are listed on the schedule and as Roger said there's a full list of meetings on the website there I believe also be a meeting in the box is that right Michelle are we doing that this year yeah so there's information where if you have a neighborhood association meeting you can find online kind of just the basics of what Roger and I presented so y'all can go through it yourselves and if you have a group that you would like folks to come to speak to probably not on the charter because it's not an interesting but if you have you'd like to ask folks out to speak you can also submit that to Michelle Guder communications director to get something set up so with that there are no questions and no one in the room is not city staff y'all have a good evening
