 I'm sorry. There we go. I'm there Do a roll call quick All the person aclea All the person Phillips We'll skip ahead to all the person swag Leo all the person's all the person sorenson Yeah, okay. I see Rose online, but I Devin hers Okay, we'll go up move on and we also have with us online See Dave Bebel Jason Blasio la and Thomas Cameron and Steve Chaucer and in chambers and mayor van der steen and mayor van der steen Already move on to Pledge of Allegiance start at 2.1 approval of minutes to approve Motion has been made by Ryan seconded by Marcus any discussion on them all in favor any opposed Chair votes I minutes are approved Start out with 3.1 RO 97 2021 document 3.6 subbiting a communication from Michael Thomas President of Black American Community Outreach regarding Juneteenth Day celebration Is that Joe? Okay This was given to me To write the IFC for so pretty much everything I know is in the IFC, you know, okay The request in the letter that was attached was you know, they've came in they've secured the date of The Qantas Fieldhouse and they were hoping that the city would either waive the funds fee or or pay the fee so all I can say generally the city Most events most larger events in the city parks are not profit organizations so basically all I could say is It's not really up the bend the policy of waving Fee events now in the case that Like 4th of July where the event is Part of the city the city is is part of that You know that event is a partner. Well, then that that could be different but So after talking with David Don David Beable basically We're asking the committee to make the decision on this Okay In the past chairman Decker. Yes, go ahead You know, I received this communication from Michael Thomas who's president of the black American community outreach group and last year We did or I did issue a proclamation for Jude seems Celebration it was the first time that the proclamation has ever been Issued for that event and last year during COVID we Weren't renting out any of our facilities, but we did allow the gentleman who was Planning the Juneteenth celebration to use the land park at no charge So that this event could take place last year The black American community outreach group had not formed at that point But they now are formed and and they want to take on this Jude teens day celebration I'm not sure if this is going to be an event That's going to be raising a lot of money with revenues or if this is just going to be more of a celebration with some entertainment things for the community to enjoy but It might be who of us to to maybe hold this so that we could understand their event a little bit more and And then make a decision on whether or not we want to consider this a city co-sponsored event or not Okay, okay Did anyone health have any comments? Go ahead I'm interested. I'm I guess I would just be in favor of granting them I Guess I'm in favor of just kind of maybe going ahead and granting and raising the fees for this nonprofit I think it's a newer group And I think that's a good way to kind of show some good support and solidarity from the city to this group as well For us just kind of get them started as well. I don't know what their financials are In paying people something to that but this is a good good way for them to to get their name out there and just kind of drum Maybe moving forward in the future. We can have other discussions and conversations about You know How how would you go about hosting that? But I guess I'll just for Conversation take all move that we waive the fees for this organization Second Okay motions and made by Brian seconded by Marcus. Is there any other discussion on this at all? I guess I would be more in favor of holding it as with as with the mayor requested, but I will go with what the group goes with I guess I I think that it's somewhat You said that set the precedents right now. I think is It's a little bit You know, I would like to kind of get out You know set the if we would do this that this would be a one-time thing and then the future because you've got other groups Among group the Greeks all it they they all have and they all pay their parking fees, correct? So, I mean, yes, that is correct And that's my concern is is enough that they know once you give once you open that door once you open Pandora's box Very hard to close it. Yeah, and I think definitely we clarify to that. This is just kind of a one-time thing just kind of a startup Just a startup good gesture good will from us and I think if we say that and I know a lot of the other organizations have that long consistency In support in the community, but if we can you know help any non-product It's our obligation and duty of some of those to help be a catalyst for them Chair decker. Yes, go ahead mayor You know, I think if we follow through and approve this motion We could ask them to come and make a short presentation at the council meeting prior to Proving, you know or just approving this recommendation that that Ryan's proposed Yeah, I would definitely recommend that just to have them come and speak that that was like I said My hope would be that you have the smoke be that speak either at this committee or at the council meeting Is there any other discussion on this? Yes, go ahead thomas One these are currently set by by ordinance And and as written there's no no provision for sort of waving waving those fees So I would I would just want to make sure that we're doing that in In a way that is appropriate in keeping with the the ordinance that has been previously previously adopted so Right now, I believe it's it's before the committee with a communication and in our I think the the recommendation or the sort of the thought is to make a a motion I think I presume all the person sorenson that's sort of a motion to to recommend the The council waive the fee Maybe a slight variation on that would be a recommendation to have staff draft the document to to waive that fee Which might also be in keeping with all the person vanderser excuse me, but mayor vandersteens I didn't want to didn't want to change your title mayor Mayor vandersteens thought of gathering a little bit more information and maybe that would move the presentation back to the public works committee So you would recommend that we hold and you we we draft a separate document It could still be a motion from the the committee Instructing staff to prepare the necessary documents to to effectuate sort of what what the the will of the committee is It's just a matter of making sure that it's done in in an appropriate way in keeping with the code as it currently exists So would ryan have to change the motion then or Would require an amendment to that that initiative Okay I'm also good with it as the second Okay, so we first have Mr chairman And I you might want to just double and have thomas verify this but I but I From my recollection I used to as the director of public works had the ability to waive fees Within my authority On other on other parties such as this I think but but this because it's new and Given the sensitive nature of this working with the mayor's office and joe and I we just Wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. I'm not just have it as typically a lot of this just comes to staff level and It's it's handled at a staff level in other words. So I'm happy to either waive thomas and and whatever is the cleanest Um, I'm happy with that. I just I just wanted to just to let everyone know that so Okay Yeah, so I mean the the the director of public works and joe is the superintendent of parks We have have a great deal of authority here and my Under the hesitation is the right word but wanting to make sure that we've documented this especially since it's already gotten to Sort of to counsel Make sure that it is clearly documented what it is that we're doing Yeah, I have no problem with that. I think that that's that's fine with me Okay, so I'm kind of I'll be honest. I'm a little confused. So now do we do we still do this motion in this way or Is it just is it just a motion to is it just a motion to to direct? Staff then is that And I guess I guess I'm comfortable moving before the motion just so it's on the record as well Moving forward with a motion to so what do we do with the other motions now do I have to Do we have the first Thomas what do we need to do then do if we should we just going to go with having a recommendation? If the motion is Was older person sorenson's motion sort of is modified by my recommendation Which was accepted by older persons of aglio to have staff draft a document to implement what May well be that the wheel Certainly the committee can vote down that motion And then the the document would be prepared Okay, so all the person sorenson and and all the persons of aglio if I've misunderstood what the the motion on the on the floor is That that wouldn't be the first time Okay, so first You know Ryan could you repeat Ryan could you repeat? I did not hear what you said. I just said, you know, whatever we can do to help help support a growing Acting good faith on this one I think that's that's just kind of the point I'm making so Okay, um, so then what I guess we have to do first is we have to to uh vote on the the um amendment Correct Is there any other comment on the on the amendment to us? All those in favor of the amendment Say aye Any opposed Okay, the amendment passes then we'll go back to the original, uh Proposal um any other comment on that All those in favor of that Any opposed Motion carries Chair votes aye Okay, 3.2 resolution 117 20 document 4.3 Resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a master agreement for professional services with short Elliott Hendrickson, Incorporated seh to Provide on-call engineering services for the wastewater treatment plan Steve is this yours? Yeah We're trying to get prepared for that to the next year's budget to replace the blower and later Quite a bit And so we just thought we'd have an agreement with them and as these projects come up I grow up and and provide them a scope and see who comes in the most then if they Be to do the work then that's who we go with Okay, same thing as we have about here.
