City Council - Regular Meeting

No, I'm in disagreement. I think the public should have the right to say their piece.

I'd like to have, if there's no objection from my colleagues, number 24 removed from the agenda.

And we're going to give it more discussion than it was given when it was put on.

All right let's go ahead and go to council concerns well we can start with Mr Marks I'm gonna give you the abbreviated version stuart so you're thinking I just need to report 1907 19th street that's a house that's been vacant for a while and it seems like people are putting stuff there because they realize it's a vacant house so if we can get property standards to take a look at that. Also there's an apartment complex on 2nd Avenue between 23rd and 22nd Street. They've had furniture and mattresses out there since we had the the landlord meeting at the city at the city court so that's been over

And I just want to be clear. If the mayor or the administration chooses to do another route, I'm fine with that. But it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth after the last election when Mr. Franklin came here and put the onus on us for not doing our part. to promote those millages so that's why I'm giving asking that the the council you know if we if he wants to serve a part of it we will well I'll note that you're all available and willing to participate as am I and as the administration I'll relay those concerns appreciate it and lastly I just got a quick question do we have I'm trying to un

Thank you. Mr. Marks, could you repeat that first location that you mentioned about the debris? 1907 19th Street. Okay. And you got the apartment?

That's the ones between 22nd and 23rd on the west side of 2nd Avenue going towards Prairie Lake. Got it. And Doug, I'm not asking y'all the city to go pick it up. I think this would be a good time for us to.

You're talking about, I'm talking about heading south. Carbino goes to the south. When it crosses Highway 14. Oh, on the other side of Highway 14, yeah.

Well, I don't know exactly which ditches, but he told me the ditches are so overgrown there's trees growing in them. And he thought that they might be in the city. If you go to the roundabout on McNeese and you make that right, that's city up until a certain point where that sign is. Okay.

well if you need me to meet you out there we can oh it's all good I'll make sure I do it so no we want to know what part is ours and what part is yeah I didn't make sure every every portion outside of the subdivisions belongs to us the sidewalk ditches in the front the ditches on the side okay okay thank you that's all no that's not correct and it's great so we don't we don't the sidewalks are not ours

The ditches is where they dug the ditches to put the sidewalk.

I understand about the retention ponds. That's inside. When you come outside, when I was, that was my area. Along the roadway? Yeah, along the roadway. That's the ditches I'm assuming he's talking about. I think so. Yeah.

Mr. Stoops, I need you to write me a message too. The documents that I asked for, the 15th is Thursday. I'll pass the message on.

We can't read it in a minute, Mr. Gary, because it's not a part of the agenda. So I can assure you by the next agenda meeting, we'll have some consideration for it. Thank you very much.
