ON OUR MIND WE WERE FOCUSING ON THE BUDGET AND WHERE CHANGES NEEDED TO BE MADE AND WHILE I DON'T THINK ULTIMATELY THIS WAS A FINANCIAL CHANGE ALTHOUGH PROBABLY DID FREE UP SOME MONEY FOR THE FOR THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT IT WAS IT WAS JUST ABOUT DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN IN THE COMMUNITY I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE COULD TRY TO EXPAND THE FIREWORKS A LITTLE BIT AND SEE IF WE COULD NOT DO SOMETHING A LITTLE SPECIAL WITH THE FIREWORKS WE HAVE ALREADY HAVE THE ALLOTTED MONEY FOR WHAT WAS PURCHASED BUT I'M JUST RAISING THAT ISSUE FOR YOU FOLKS TO THINK ABOUT TO SEE IF IT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING WORTH TRYING TO ENHANCE A LITTLE BIT JUST THE FIREWORKS PORTION OF IT MAKE IT A LITTLE SPECIAL THIS YEAR SO I WILL SAY THAT REGARDING THE 4TH OF JULY I WILL BE DOING AN AMERICAN TO 50 YOUTH BIKE RIDE IT WILL BE HOWEVER DURING THE OTHER TOPIC THAT I BROUGHT UP WHICH IS ROCHESTER FEST IT WILL BE ON JUNE 27TH IT'S A SATURDAY WE'RE HOPING TO GET 250 CHILDREN OR MORE BUT ANYONE'S WELCOME WE WILL HAVE BIKE DECORATIONS RED WHITE AND BLUE STREAMERS AND CRATE PAPER AND ALL SORTS OF STUFF FLAGS FOR THE KIDS TO DECORATE THEIR BIKES OR ADULTS IF THEY WANT MORE INFORMATION WILL BE COMING OUT ABOUT THAT AS AS WE MOVE AHEAD CLOSER TO THAT TIME THE OTHER ISSUE WITH ROCHESTER FEST I WANT TO BRING UP IS THERE WITHOUT A STAGE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A STAGE USING THE CITIES THAT WE PURCHASED THIS YEAR WHICH IS FOR THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT IS A CO-SPONSOR EVENT ROCHESTER FEST WAS FOUNDED BY A FORMER MAYOR AND IT AND WE HAVE AS A CITY ALLOTTED MONEY EVERY YEAR FOR THEM BUT IT SEEMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A WAY TO DO THAT AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE THEM OUR NEW STAGE FOR USE DURING THE WEEK BECAUSE IT IS OUR STAGE IT WILL BE INSURED BY US BUT IF NOT THEN IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THERE MIGHT BE AN OLDER STAGE STILL AVAILABLE AND THAT PERHAPS WE SHOULD BE LOOKING TO

DO SOMETHING TO SUPPORT ROCHESTER FEST WITH A STAGE SINCE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE DOING ANYTHING FOR 4TH OF JULY AND >> THAT'S THAT'S MY OPINION BUT I'M SHARING IT WITH ALL OF YOU TO THINK ABOUT AND SEE IF YOU CAN HELP THINK A WAY FORWARD ON BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES MOVING AHEAD I DID WANT TO JUST MAKE A QUICK REPORT THAT WHILE IT IS THE REPORT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT PUTS OUT AN ANNUAL REPORT SO I JUST WANT TO LET FOLKS KNOW THAT THAT HAS BEEN OUT NOW FOR A LITTLE WHILE YOU CAN FIND IT ON THE CITY WEB PAGE UNDER POLICE UNDER NEWS REPORTS AND DASHBOARDS UNDER ANNUAL REPORTS AND ALL THE ANNUAL REPORTS FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS ARE THERE SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE FOLKS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE THE POLICE AND WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING THERE THEY HAVE THEIR FOUR DIVISIONS PATROL INVESTIGATION THREE SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SERVICES THERE'S INFORMATION ABOUT ALL OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS IN THERE AS WELL SO I WOULD URGE YOU TO TAKE A PEEK AT JUST QUICK FOLLOW >> UP A DELEGATION FROM ROCHESTER DID GO TO THE TECH LAND EXPERIENCE IN GERMANY I MENTIONED THAT BEFORE I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD HIGHLIGHT THE ROCHESTER TEAM INCLUDED A REP FOR MAYO A REP FROM DESTINATION MEDICAL CENTER I WENT FROM THE CITY DAVE AND WENT ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA HAD REPRESENTATION AS WELL IT WAS A FASCINATING CONFERENCE FOCUSED ON HEALTH CARE AND TECHNOLOGY AND THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN THOSE OUR ROLE WAS REALLY TO TALK ABOUT BEING A HEALTH CARE COMMUNITY AND BEING INNOVATIVE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE INTERSECTION THAT THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE COUNTRY WITH MUNSTER WITH IN GERMANY HOW HOW WE HAVE BENEFITED FROM THAT HOW THEY HAVE LEARNED FROM US AND THEN HOW THE RELATIONSHIP PIECE HAVE GROWN INTO HEADING INTO THE HEALTH CARE SECTORS WHICH HADN'T HAPPENED BEFORE IT STARTED WITH TECHNOLOGY AND THAT'S JUST THE CITY IT'S NOW SPREAD FURTHER SO THAT WAS OUR ROLE THERE WAS IT WAS A FASCINATING CONFERENCE

HAVE IT IN FRONT OF THEIR HOMES AND HAVE TO SHOVEL AND AND TAKE CARE OF THEM BUT FOR EVERYONE WHO MAINTAINS THAT SHOULD BE EQUAL AMOUNT NOT JUST THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAXES >> MR. CHAIR YOUR POINT OF ORDER IT IS NOT BUT I DO NOT SEE THE LIST THAT I'M HEARING ON THIS CAN YOU HOLD FOR A MINUTE WE DO HAVE A POINT OF ORDER >> COULD COULD I ASK DYLAN DOMBROWSKI WHO BROUGHT THIS ITEM FORWARD IF IF SIDEWALKS ARE ON AS PART OF THIS CONVERSATION THAT I SEE AS SOUTHEAST ROCHESTER I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S GOING ON HERE >> THANK YOU MAYOR MR. >> DOMBROWSKI CAN YOU CLARIFY DOES IT SOUND LIKE OUR PUBLIC COMMENT OR IS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WE ARE NOT THIS IS A SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LETTER THAT IS BEING REFERENCED THE PROJECT TONIGHT DOES NOT INCLUDE SIDEWALK ASSESSMENTS THROUGH THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT PROGRAM THE REPAIRS WE'RE MAKING ARE ADA UPGRADES THAT THE PEDESTRIAN RAMPS AT EACH INTERSECTION WHICH THE CITY'S PAYING THAT WITH OUR STREET RECONSTRUCTION FUNDS AND NOT THE PROPERTY OWNERS OR THE PROGRAM THAT'S THE SIDE PROGRAM THAT GOES OUT TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY SO MISS DENNIS >> COULD YOU AND UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR YOUR COMMENTS ARE ADDRESS ING DIRECTLY THIS ITEM I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO BASICALLY I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE SENTENCE TO WRAP UP >> OKAY WELL SO MAYBE THIS SUMS UP THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE OF CITY COUNCIL ON HOW THEY ARE DISCONNECTED TO THE PEOPLE BECAUSE WHAT WAS SENT >> HERE TO MYSELF AND ANOTHER RESIDENTS WAS THAT THIS SERVED THIS LETTER RIGHT HERE SERVED AS A NOTICE FOR APRIL 6TH MEETING AND I SHOWED UP FOR THAT NOT RECEIVING ANY OTHER >> COULD YOU SHARE THAT WITH THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE AND WITH MORE THAN >> HALF ALL RIGHT THANK YOU MISS DENNIS THANK YOU >> OKAY I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN IS THE HEARING FOR THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT >> YEAH

THAT THIS ADDRESS >> MISS COULD SOMEONE PLEASE SEND THAT GIVE THAT TO THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE AND THANK YOU MAYBE THAT WILL HELP THANK YOU >> THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE WISHING TO BE HEARD ON THIS ITEM PLEASE STEP >> FORWARD ALL RIGHT THANK YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE FIVE >> MINUTES SURE MY NAME IS BEN A CHILD I LIVE AT 1620 SECOND STREET SOUTHEAST SO I AM DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS SANITARY SEWER MAINTENANCE PROJECT I'M BEING CHARGED AS A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT $8,400 WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 10% OF MY REMAINING MORTGAGE SO THIS IS NOT A TRIVIAL QUANTITY OF MONEY TO JUST HAVE DROPPED ON YOU WITH VERY LITTLE NOTICE AND I DO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO I GUESS TENDER MY OBJECTION OFFICIALLY TO THIS IN WRITING I'LL GIVE THIS TO THE CITY CLERK AT SOME POINT I ALSO DID HAVE A POINT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE REGARDING WHETHER THIS WAS A LAWFUL SPECIAL ASSESSMENT >> OR NOT AND SO TO SPEAK TO THAT AND I DO UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE THREE COPIES OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT I WILL PASS >> AND ALLOW SO JUST GO AND TO LET THIS SO

I WAS VERY CURIOUS ABOUT THIS WHOLE CONCEPT OF A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT >> BECAUSE I'M NOT A ANYTHING OTHER THAN A MAYOR GRANT BUT I DID MAKE A FORMAL RECORDS REQUEST FOR OTHER SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS THAT INCLUDED THESE SURFACE REPAIRS TO ROADWAYS AND I WAS ABLE TO GET SEVERAL COPIES OF THE ROLLS FOR PRIOR PROJECTS ONE COMPLETED IN 2021 ONE COMPLETED IN 2023 AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SPECIALIST ASSESSMENT TO BE LAWFUL IS THAT IT SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY IN A WAY THAT IS COMMENSURATE WITH AND NOT IN EXCESS TO THE COST THAT WAS INCURRED SO I WOULD HAVE AN EXPECTATION THAT MY PROPERTY VALUE OR AT LEAST MY TAXABLE PROPERTY VALUE WOULD GO UP BY ABOUT $8,400 NOW I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ANY SORT OF STRAIGHT ANSWER OUT OF THE CITY CLERK OR ANYBODY ELSE AND I WAS IN COMMUNICATION WITH ABOUT HOW THIS 25% FIGURE WAS ACTUALLY CALCULATED DOWN TO THAT BUT ON THE BASIS OF LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE OTHER SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS THE ONES FROM 2021 AND THE ONE FROM 2023 I WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE PROPERTY VALUES OF HOMES THAT HAD HAD THEIR ROADWAYS IN FRONT OF THEM RESURFACED AND THIS INCLUDES THE MAJOR PROJECT IN BROADWAY AND ALSO IN MORE MINOR PROJECT IN 2021 EFFECTIVELY THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE VALUE OF THE SAME SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING OF HOMES WITHIN A BLOCK OR TWO THAT HAD NOT UNDERGONE A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS SO I'M KIND OF CURIOUS YOU KNOW WHAT DOES THAT MEAN DOES THAT MEAN THAT OUR TAXES ARE NOT ACTUALLY A REALISTIC MARKET ESTIMATE DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS HAVE IMPACTS ON PROPERTY VALUES IN ADJACENT AREAS IN WHICH CASE THEY WOULD ALSO NOT BE APPROPRIATE BECAUSE A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT IS SUPPOSED TO ONLY IMPACT PROPERTIES THAT HAVE A UNIQUE UPGRADE RIGHT THAT A VALUE IS A VALUE TO THEM AND TO NOBODY ELSE AND SO THE DOCUMENT THAT I SEND AROUND IS THESE TWO SIMPLE ASSESSMENTS THAT I WAS ABLE TO DO COMPARE AND CONTROL PROPERTIES TO PROPERTIES THAT ACTUALLY DID HAVE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS BASICALLY MY

UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR PROPERTY VALUE WHATSOEVER AT LEAST OF HISTORICAL TRENDS HOLDS TRUE SO I'M KIND OF CURIOUS ON WHAT BASIS IS THIS REASONABLE SO ANY THOUGHTS IT'S NOT A RHETORICAL QUESTION LIKE I'M OPEN TO HAVING SOME SORT OF A BACK AND FORTH EXCHANGE HERE RATHER THAN JUST SAYING HERE I PRINTED OUT FOUR PIECES OF PAPER STAPLED THEM TOGETHER AND HANDING THEM AROUND AND HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A FLAT TAX BILL THAT WAS UNEXPECTED SO >> AFTER

THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL ADDRESS YOUR QUESTIONS TO OUR STAFF AND TO TO THE CITY CLERK AS WELL SO >> OKAY THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I CAN HAVE TO SAY IS THAT IF THERE IS ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IN THE ROOM WHO DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FILE A FORMAL OBJECTION I'VE GOT A PEN AND I'VE GOT PLENTY OF PIECES OF PAPER RIGHT NOW IF THEY WANTED TO DO THAT SAME THING SO >> THANK YOU >> THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE WISHING TO BE HEARD ON THIS ITEM PLEASE STEP FORWARD THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO BE HEARD ON THIS ITEM PLEASE STEP FORWARD SEEING NO ONE I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MR. DOMBROSKI COULD YOU ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT THE GENTLEMAN BROUGHT UP SURE THE COUNCIL ADOPTED THE ASSESSMENT POLICY IN 2022 SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARRIVED AT 25% IS BORNE BY THE PRIVATE PROPERTIES 75% BY THE CITY AND WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF THESE PROJECTS HERE SINCE THE THE POLICY UPDATE HAS OCCURRED THAT WAS IN 2022 SO ANYTHING REFERENCED PRIOR TO THAT WOULDN'T BE COMPARABLE TO THIS PROCESS THE STATUTE DOES READ THAT THE THE ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN THE BENEFIT TO THE PROPERTY THE STATUTE DOES NOT REQUIRE US TO DO A BENEFIT APPRAISAL AND PROVE THAT OUT THAT'S WHY THE PROPERTY OWNERS DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBJECT AT WHICH POINT IF THEY WOULD FILE IN DISTRICT COURT THAT'S WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT PROPERTY APPRAISALS AND EVALUATIONS AND HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS BUT AS PART OF THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS THERE'S NOTHING WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO TO DO A BENEFIT BENEFIT APPRAISAL UPFRONT TO DETERMINE EACH INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY AND WHAT THOSE ASSESSMENTS ARE >> THANK YOU I'M SORRY THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED YOU

HAVE YOUR YOU HAVE YOUR OBJECTION >> FILED SO YOU CAN DISCUSS THAT WITH THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE COUNCILMEMBER FREDERICKS THANK >> YOU LET'S JUST SHOOT FOR A LITTLE CLARITY HERE THEY'RE ASSESSED FOR 25% OF THE VALUE OF THE PROJECT SO TO SPEAK OF JUST THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS NOT THE ROADWAY AND NOTHING ELSE BUT THE ROADWAY >> OKAY OF THE PROJECT BUT WHILE >> DURING THIS PROJECT YOU'RE GOING TO BE REPLACING SEWER AND WATER MAIN LINES TO THE HOUSES CORRECT OKAY SO I WILL SAY THIS A HOUSE THAT HAS NOT A RELIABLE WATER SEWER SERVICE TO IT BECOMES VERY NOT VALUABLE SO IS THIS PROJECT NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN A RELIABLE SERVICE TO EACH OF THESE HOUSES >> IT IS AND AS I NOTED THE UNDERGROUND UTILITIES HAVE REACHED THE END OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE CORRECT SO I'M APPROACHING 100 YEARS IN AGE SO IT'S NECESSARY THAT WHEN WE'RE IN HERE RECONSTRUCTING THE STREET WE'RE ADDRESSING THE UTILITY CONDITION AS WELL RIGHT AND IF YOU HAD >> TO DO A ONE OFF AND THIS THE OWNER HAD TO DO A ONE OFF AND THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE A WATER SEWER LINE AFTER THIS PROJECT IS DONE >> YEAH WHEN PROPERTY OWNERS END UP HAVING TO REPLACE THOSE LINES THEMSELVES THEY HAVE TO TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RESTORING PAVEMENTS SIDEWALK ETC. SO THAT'S ALL BORNE BY THE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNER IF THEY HAVE TO DO ANY SORT OF SERVICE REPLACEMENT GREAT >> AND THE RAW MONEY THEY HAVE TO PAY TO DO THIS IS IS THAT THE $8,400 IS THAT THE RIGHT PAYMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE FOR THIS PROJECT >> THAT'S THE ASSESSED VALUE YOU WHICH IS THEY EITHER CAN PAY THAT UPFRONT OR IT WILL GO ON TO THE PROPERTY TAXES OVER A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK SPREAD OVER TEN YEARS >> CORRECT VERY GOOD THANK YOU ANY FURTHER

DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM COUNCIL MEMBER KEAN >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT HERE THE WAY WE DO THE ASSESSMENTS ON THE STREET COMPARED TO LIKE A PROJECT ON FOURTH AVENUE SOUTHWEST THREE YEARS AGO DO WE USE A DIFFERENT ASSESSMENT ALGORITHM EACH TIME OR IS IT THE SAME WAY >> IT'S THE SAME AND I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING THROUGH THE FOURTH AVENUE SOUTHWEST PROJECT LAST YEAR THE SEVENTH AVENUE NORTHWEST PROJECT BY COOK PARK THE VALUATIONS THOSE ARE ALL PRIMARILY JUST SINGLE FAMILY SO THERE WASN'T A LARGER VALUE PROPERTY LIKE WE HAD ALONG CENTER STREET THAT CAN SKEW AND THEY TAKE ON THE BULK OF THE ASSESSMENT SO AS WE LOOK AT JUST THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ALONG THIS CORRIDOR COMPARED TO THOSE OTHER TWO THEY WERE ALL IN THE FIVE TO 8 TO $9000 RANGE PER PROPERTY AND AGAIN THAT'S BASED ON THE VALUE AT THE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE OKAY >> AND IS THE GOING BACK ON WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH IS GOING TO BE ASSESSED IT IS TOTALLY BASED ON THE 25% OF THE COST OF THE PROJECT FOR THE STREET REPAIR AND AGAIN NOT THE UTILITIES CORRECT IT'S THE ESTIMATED >> COST OF THE STREET REPAIRS WHICH IF IT IF OUR BIDS COME IN LOWER WE'RE ONLY GOING TO GOING TO ASSESS THE PROPERTY OWNERS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SPEND ON THE PROJECT SO IF THEY COME IN LOWER WHICH AS COUNCILMEMBER WAHL NOTED OUR PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMING IN BELOW ESTIMATE A LOT LATELY IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE ASSESSMENTS WILL BE REDUCED AND WE CAN >> GO AHEAD WE >> CANNOT GO ABOVE WHAT YOU SET TONIGHT WITH THE ASSESSMENT ROLL IF YOU CHOOSE TO ADOPT IT OKAY >> SO THE ESTIMATES HAVE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN TO THE TO THE RESIDENTS CORRECT AND >> IS IT TIED AT ALL TO THE VALUE OF THEIR PROPERTY OR IS IT ONLY THE COST OF THE PROJECT IT'S TIED TO THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY SO WE TAKE THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO BE ASSESSED AND THEN WE TAKE THE TOTAL VALUE OF PROPERTIES ON THE CORRIDOR AND EACH PERSON'S PERCENTAGE OF

THAT TOTAL VALUE SO THAT'S WHY THEY AREN'T ALL EXACTLY THE SAME AND THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCIL CHOSE WITH THE WITH THE NEW POLICY IN 2022 WE GAVE A COUPLE OPTIONS WE EITHER DID IT BY THE EACH AND EVERYONE PAID THE SAME REGARDLESS OF THEIR VALUATION THAT THE COUNCIL CHOSE THE PROPERTY VALUATION WAS THE METHOD TO TO DO THE CALCULATION YEAH AND I WAS >> A PART OF SOME OF THOSE VOTES I DO REMEMBER SOME OF THAT BUT I'M TRYING TO MAKE I MEAN THE NUMBERS I'M HEARING THOUGH AND THESE SORT OF HOUSES SAYING $8,000 THAT SEEMS DRAMATICALLY

MORE THAN TEN YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE A PERCENT IS >> IT BECAUSE THE VALUE OF THE HOMES IS GOING UP OR IS IT BECAUSE THE COST OF THE PROJECTS IS GOING >> UP IT'S IT'S >> PROBABLY A MEASURE OF BOTH OBVIOUSLY CONSTRUCTION COSTS HAVE INCREASED OVER TEN YEARS BUT PROPERTY VALUES ARE GOING UP AS WELL OKAY ALL RIGHT THANK YOU COUNCIL >> MEMBER WALL THANK YOU I HAVE >> SYMPATHY FOR PROPERTY OWNERS AND GETTING ASSESSMENTS PARTICULARLY IF ONE IS LIVING IN MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND MAYBE EXTRA $800 A YEAR MIGHT BE >> HARD TO FIND I WAS SPOILED BY THE CENTER STREET ASSESSMENTS THAT WE PASSED A MONTH OR SO AGO BECAUSE THEY WERE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER PER PROPERTY OWNER BECAUSE OF THE LARGE BUILDING THAT GOT ASSESSED HOW DOES THE ONE INCH WATER SERVICE COMPARE IN PRICE TO MAYBE 25 >> 2025 IT'S 1888 PER UNIT NOW >> I DON'T HAVE THE LAST YEAR'S RATE MEMORIZED WE WE DO A THERE'S A CALCULATION BASED ON THE ENGINEERING NEWS RECORD CONSTRUCTION COST INDEX AND IF I RECALL CORRECTLY IT WAS THREE ISH PERCENT INCREASE OVER THE LAST YEAR SO IT'S REALLY THAT'S BASED ON CONSTRUCTION COST INDICES AND HOW THEY ARE INCREASING OR DECREASING ANNUALLY >> AND I SUSPECT LIKE MR. KEENE IN PREPARING FOR TONIGHT THAT THE JUST THE COST OF MATERIALS AND ALL HAS DRIVEN SOME OF OUR COSTS AND THEN ASSESSMENTS UP WHICH IS A HARSH

STATE STATUTE THAT GOVERNS ALL THIS IS 13.824 ALL RIGHT SO THAT THERE'S A MULTITUDE OF THINGS THAT GOT TO BE REPORTED TO THIS AS WE HAVE TO REPORT IT TO THE BCA TALKS ABOUT DATA RETENTION TALKS ABOUT AUDITING ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD THINK THE LEGISLATOR WITH ALL THAT STUFF AS OUTLINED IN THE STATUTE AND WE ARE 100% ADHERING TO THE MINNESOTA STATE STATUTE AS I SAID BEFORE IT'S JUST DATA IT'S PROVIDING THAT REAL TIME INFORMATION THROUGH OUR PLATFORM A FEW SETS >> OTHER IMPORTANT THING IS IS OFFICERS ARE REQUIRED SO IF AN OFFICER IS DRIVING THROUGH THE AREA SAYS THIS ABC 123 LICENSE PLATE JUST DROVE THROUGH 41ST AND THE PERSON'S GOT A WARRANT THERE IS AN EXTRA STEP WHERE OFFICERS HAVE TO DO AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF DUE DILIGENCE TO TRY TO CONFIRM WHETHER OR NOT THE DRIVER OF THAT VEHICLE MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTERED OWNER WHEN FEASIBLE AND >> SO BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION WE'RE REQUIRING THEM TO TRY AND TO VALIDATE WHO IN FACT AND IF WE CAN TRY TO CONFIRM WHO'S DRIVING THAT VEHICLE RIGHT WE ARE NOT TRACKING OR MONITORING INDIVIDUAL VEHICLES WITHOUT A WARRANT WE'RE WE'RE NOT THIS IS REALLY AN INVESTIGATIVE TOOL IN THERE ARE LOGS OF USE AS YOU WOULD SUSPECT WITH ALL JUST DATA THAT ARE SUBJECT TO AUDITS THERE SO

AGAIN I TALKED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO OWN THE DATA BECAUSE THAT MEANS WE CONTROL THE DATA WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM MAYBE THE OTHER VENDOR WE WOULD SHARE THE DATA WITH A JUDICIAL WARRANT PART OF THE STATE STATUTE WITH OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT ENTITIES BUT WE REQUIRE THAT IN ORDER TO DO THAT AND WE DO HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE DATA AS IT'S OURS I'M NOT GOING >> TO GO THROUGH MAYBE ALL THESE SUCCESS CASES BECAUSE THERE TRUTHFULLY THERE'S MANY THERE'S MANY MANY SUCCESS CASES OF HOW THIS RAPIDLY EMERGING TECHNOLOGY IS REALLY ENHANCING PUBLIC SAFETY IN COMMUNITIES YOU GUYS CAN SEE FROM THAT I WILL ALSO POINT OUT THAT ALPER DID PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION OF SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE MELISSA HAUPTMAN AND SO THERE'S BEEN A REAL LIFE CASE USE OUR CASE STUDY OF HOW THIS HAS BEEN USED IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AS WELL BUT IT IS IT IS AN EMERGING TOOL IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT TOOL AND ONE THAT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT SO WHAT ARE WE REALLY ASKING FOR WE'RE ASKING TO AUTHORIZE THIS BURN MEMORIAL JUSTICE GRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THESE CAMERAS TO EXPAND OUR PROGRAM FROM BASICALLY FOUR OR EXCUSE ME TO CURRENTLY TO SIX THE FUNDING PIECE WHAT WE DID WITH THIS IS WE TOOK THE FIRST AUTO THEFT GRANT AND WE TOOK THAT GRANT AND WE ACTUALLY STRETCHED IT OUT TO FIVE YEARS SO THE DECISION WE HAD AT THE TIME IS DO WE ASK FOR I DON'T KNOW 5 OR 6 CAMERAS AND THEN COME BACK TO YOU GUYS IN TWO YEARS OR DO WE JUST ASK YOU FOR TWO CAMERAS STRETCH IT OUT FOR FIVE YEARS KIND OF DO A PILOT PROJECT SEEK OTHER JUDICIOUS FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES MORE GRANTS TO MAYBE EXPAND THE PROGRAM OUR INTENT WITH THIS WITH THIS GRANT AS WELL IS TO STRETCH IT OUT TO FIVE YEARS WHY IS THAT

IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT IS THE KIND OF THE CAP AND OF WHEN THE AXON CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY POLICE TECHNOLOGIES IS GOING TO BE DO NOW OUR HOPE AND THE STRATEGY OR WISDOM BEHIND STRETCHING THAT OUT IN FIVE YEARS IS THIS OUR HOPE IS THIS THAT BY STRETCHING THIS STRATEGY OUT THAT TECHNOLOGY IS KIND OF LIKE TVS BACK IN THE DAY TEN YEARS AGO YOU COULD BUY A PLASMA TV TOP OF THE LINE BUT IT COSTS SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TODAY YOU CAN GET A 4K TV AT COSTCO FOR A COUPLE OF HUNDRED BUCKS AND TECHNOLOGIES COME DOWN NOW WHETHER OR NOT THAT HOLDS TRUE I'M NOT SURE IT'S A HOPE AND I KNOW HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY BUT IT'S ONE OF OUR HOPES THAT THAT PRICING WILL COME DOWN ANOTHER STRATEGY AND PART OF THIS IS THAT YOU ALWAYS GET A LITTLE BIT OF A DISCOUNT WHEN YOU BUNDLE WHEN YOU BUNDLE ANYTHING HOME CAR INSURANCE ETC. AND SO AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THESE WE STRETCH THESE OUT RATHER THAN ASKING FOR AN UPFRONT AND WE HOPE TO GET A BETTER PRICING IF THERE'S A BUNDLE >> THOROUGHLY THERE WE EXPECT FULLY EXPECT TO DEMONSTRATE VALUE AND RETURN OF INVESTMENT TO YOU GUYS IN THE FUTURE OF HOW THIS IS TRULY ENHANCING PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE VALUE OF THESE TOOLS AND THEN FINALLY IF THE VALUE IS NOT THERE IF THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT IS NOT THERE THERE'S AN OFF RAMP THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH AXON IS MODULAR IN THE FACT THAT IF WE DON'T WANT TASERS WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY THOSE IF WE DON'T WANT BODY CAMS WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY THOSE IF WE DON'T WANT THESE AXON OUTPOST HPR CAMERAS WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY ANY MORE NONE OF THIS IS LOCKED IN STONE AND IT'S SUBJECT TO NEGOTIATE ATION IN YEARS TO COME AND >> SO WITH THAT PERHAPS I'LL JUST LEAVE YOU WITH MAYBE ONE THING THAT I TOUCHED ON AND THAT THE TOWN HALL I >> THINK WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ASK THE RIGHT

QUESTION IN THE RIGHT QUESTION IS YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S SO MANY EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES HERE SPECIFICALLY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE BOARD WITH AI DEVELOPMENT ETC. BUT THE RIGHT QUESTION IS NOT SHOULD WE OR SHOULD WE NOT BE USING THIS TECHNOLOGY THE RIGHT QUESTION THE RESPONSIBLE LEADERS IN GOOD FORGE LEADING LEADERS ARE ASKING THEMSELVES HOW CAN WE USE THIS TECHNOLOGY WHAT GUARDRAILS DO WE NEED IN PLACE WHAT SAFETY GUARDS DO WE NEED IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE USING THIS TECHNOLOGY EFFICIENTLY EFFECTIVELY ENHANCING PUBLIC SAFETY AND USING IT IN ACCORDANCE TO HOW THE COMMUNITY WANTS US TO USE IT AND SO AS CHIEF I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M COMMITTED TO USING THESE EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THESE TECHNOLOGIES RIGHT TO SUPPORT EFFECTIVE POLICING ENHANCING PUBLIC SAFETY FOR OUR COMMUNITY BUT ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THAT INNOVATION HAS GOT TO BE MATCHED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BALANCING ACCOUNTABILITY AND WHAT GUARDRAILS WE WANT IN PLACE AND MY COMMITMENT IS THAT AS WE ADOPT THESE TOOLS WE'RE GOING TO DO IT THROUGH TRANSPARENCY ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPECT FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND ADDRESSING PEOPLE'S CONCERNS AS WE GO AND SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT WE'RE WILLING TO OPENLY ENGAGE I THINK WE HAVE BEEN WILLINGLY OPENING GATES I THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT AND I'LL STAND READY FOR ANY QUESTIONS HERE >> THANK YOU CHIEF COUNCILMEMBER DORY YEAH
