“Saying that we do have the funding of, can you hear me? Seeing that we do have that funding available and one of the areas that really need improvement is our downtown area. And I would really like to see a mural go up in the downtown area. So that is something that I really would like to support and to have that art because when we drive around my area, it looks beautiful. We come into downtown, it looks dead. So any project that will improve the area that will bring light to these residents of our downtown area and also kind of like revitalize the business owners in that area. I am 100 in…”

“Thank you. Can you go back to the slide with the cost? Yes. Council member Moore, right there it is. So the $400,000 that we've already spent, where is that money coming from? From the general fund?”
City Council · Oct 6, 2026

“I'm going to ask one more question, just as we apply for the grant. So looking at the cost, so we're looking between $40 to $50 million. Can you give me an idea, besides the $5 million, that's the grant we're going to have to write? So that will leave us about $45 million. Can you give me an idea where we plan to get this money from? Just a general idea.”
City Council · Oct 6, 2026

“So I just want to remember, let me take it. So strategically, just give us a little plan. So the first phase, we're looking at six million, right? Assuming we get the grant. So that takes us six million. So what is our next plan? other than grants.”

“Fernando, I mean, we're not disputing the project itself. There's no question about that. When you see figures, can you go back to that page with the money dollar sign on it? See, when we're looking at the funding, right, like we have water project right now, trying to get chromium-6 out of our water. That's a priority. I mean, that's 100% priority. So I don't have any problem with the project. My question is about the funding. Where we are going to get 40 to 50M dollars to fund the project.”

“I mean, I love everything that we need to do downtown area. But I'm looking at that money. I'm trying to make sure we know where that funding.”

“Yeah, so that's like you said, it's not part of the ground in the current. Yeah, I'll second that.”

“I have a question, though. So what would change from your recommendation, regardless of the 221? What would change on this phase that you already brought forward? What is going to change having the 221?”
City Council · Oct 6, 2026
- Play at 2:27:33
“Yeah. That was the reason why Council Member Roque asked that question. Because when we go back to 221, we're still going to come back to this.”
City Council · Oct 6, 2026
- Play at 2:27:43
“So that's why I was asking what would change going back into 221. We're still going to end up at the same presentations.”

“I think we need to take a break. Almost 11 o'clock. We need to discuss this. We need to discuss it before we start directing staff right now. So that is something that we need to have a conversation over. And if there's any question on the ABS, we need to go back to the report and read through it together. And then if there's some clarification that we need, we can proceed from there.”

“So do we have a publicist for the city? Because if we don't have one, we need one. I just, now that we brought this up, let me make a statement. I don't think it's for any of us to be on social media responding. TO ANY INFORMATION ON BEHALF OF THE CITY. I THINK IF ANYTHING, THERE SHOULD BE SOMEONE FROM THE CITY THAT PICKS UP ON INFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA. NO COUNCIL MEMBER SHOULD BE DOING THAT BECAUSE THERE'S LANGUAGES THAT WE SHOULD BE USING AND FURTHERMORE, WE CANNOT PUT THE CITY IN HARM'S WAY. GOING ONLINE AND RESPONDING TO ALLEGATIONS OR INFORMATION BEING PUT OUT THERE IS TOTALLY…”

“I have a comment on that, because I'm trying to go through the minutes. As she mentioned, I would like to know what date specifically, because I'm trying to find the particular item she's talking about, and I'm not seeing it on the minutes so far. Okay, thank you.”
City Council · Sep 15, 2026

“No. Can I please? Yeah, go ahead. The question is, she mentioned a specific project, and she was pulled a minute. And we're trying to see the item. So our counsel indicated it's on the 16th, because it's not on the minutes that was pulled. So we're just trying to make sure, because we have to move forward. So if the item is not on this minute, then the minute should be OK. To approve. I'm trying to find out, and you say the 16th was the first meeting.”
