6:30 – 11:01Speaker 4

What are you bringing here, dear? This is it. What's the matter? I don't know. Close the door on the street. Which one? Do you want to stop? Hey Jack, can you fix my computer? We don't have to vote on the menu. See what he said. I tried to raise this hand. I don't know. Am I in this committee? Yes. I am there. I don't know. Oh, now we are quarantined. You are stopping the pandemic. Are you there? Jackie, are you ready? Yes. What?

11:02 – 13:01Speaker 1

Greetings. Planning and Infrastructure GIS Committee Thank you. People who drive around are telling me that Malini is going to Chavattukutta and that she is doing something wrong. When I see this, I'm the one who goes after them and puts it in Chavattukutta. I think this is a big lie. Or Chavattukutta. Any one. Those who do not know how to take their own Maliniyam, do not understand that it is their duty to put it back in the black box if the aim is wrong. They should put it in the black box. I am not their slave, and I will never be. I have to say that I am upset with those who steal other people's things. A friend of mine told me that the people of the city are taking it away. If a stop sign or any other place has to be built, it has to stand there. Or if it is a traffic light, it has to stand there. They have to step back from the unauthorized things in the city. Hearing all this, I was shocked. If this is happening now, I want it to stop immediately. Thank you, Swami. Do you have any other opinions?

13:11 – 13:58Speaker 4

Thank you. Now we can proceed to accepting the minutes on July 14, 2026. Second, have you received the instructions? Do you have any questions or comments? If not, are all of you accepting? Are you accepting? Okay, now we can proceed to the items on the agenda. Item A, Red River District, Attakuttapanikal. Umm. Mr. Rel. Is everyone fine this morning? We are fine. Shell. We are ready to hear what you have to say about the Red River District attacks.

14:03 – 14:40Speaker 3

Last time, when we spoke about the Red River District, the lights, the roof, the ceiling tiles, etc. were discussed. All those jobs have been completed. To ensure that the drainage systems in the roof are working properly, the contractor is working there today. He is there. All the lights discussed have been repaired, but there are two left that cannot be repaired. He has ordered. He will arrive this week. She will install it immediately. All the ceiling tiles have been replaced with non-flammable tiles. That's why the work is going on.

14:40Speaker 2

Were the ceiling tiles only in her restaurant? Didn't anyone else have them? No. Then what about the furniture?

14:46Speaker 3

Furniture? She thinks she can start work immediately by making plans with our architect Russell Kararukaran and trying to get permits.

15:02Speaker 2

We did it on both sides. Yes, Ma'am.

15:04 – 16:03Speaker 3

It will be done on Cassandra and G-Sport. During the events, we talked to them about some problems in Cassandra's gates. We'll fix that too. Is there anything else that needs to be done? I don't think so. We have sent information to all the tenants. They know how to know if they have any problems. Okay, so we are working on it. Our electricians conduct tests in each of the buildings, and they do a lot of work in the buildings that have collapsed. They will complete electrical work that has changed or needs to be changed over time. They do it in the places that have collapsed. If anyone needs anything, we have sent an email to show how to request for emergency services. Okay. How many buildings are there in the Red River?

16:03Speaker 4

Are they being destroyed? Yes.

16:06Speaker 3

Four buildings are being destroyed. Okay.

16:12Speaker 4

Chairman, how many buildings are there?

16:14Speaker 3

How many buildings are there? Seven. Eight.

16:17Speaker 4

In reality, eight. Eight. Eight. Occupancy is about 50%.

16:20 – 17:00Speaker 3

Isn't it? Are you researching any other way to collect these four items? We have received some research about one place. But it is under a Letter of Intent. Until it is completed, we cannot hand it over to other tenants. How long will it take? How long will it take to complete? You! Whether you want it or not, you can change me. If I'm wrong, it's usually done in about a year. So that Letter of Intent has a few more months to go. Letter of Intent is meant to use that place. They wanted to rent it out.

17:00Speaker 2

They have booked some of the places they want to rent out.

17:15Speaker 3

Previously, we have received inquiries about the place where 40 Arbogals used to be. Isn't that a small place near the Red River Soshil? Are we still selling them?

17:25 – 17:44Speaker 4

I would like to know if we are still marketing them for real estate without realtors. We may be doing as much as we used to. Okay.

17:44Speaker 2

Yes. But if we are going to market it, it should be ready to be sold, right? Yes. Because, as they explained about the church, we are trying to ensure that the house is suitable for living.

17:54Speaker 3

So, when you are ready to sell the house, the person who wants to come to the house will not have to face any difficulties.

18:12Speaker 2

This is like taking a flat rent. It should be in a good condition.

18:16 – 19:38Speaker 3

So, we want to make sure that there are things like lighting that we have to do to improve the condition of the house. We don't want this to turn into a bad business. Yes, I think we do. You know, right? In a place like this, white paint has to be applied on the inside as usual. We should have taken 40 articles and torn them all apart. You don't have to do a lot of lighting. You don't have to do a lot of things. Only the basic things will be enough. They should be allowed to change according to their liking. In that case, the tenant can change their clothes according to their needs. What has happened now is that it is enough for the other two people who expressed interest to have it. So, this is a vague situation about what we should do. We believe that it is better to do the other three places in a white box. They are big places, and I think it will be difficult for people to do the white box and then build it. So we intend to do it in Nikki's place, in the old COAB, and in the art tips. How much will it cost us to manage that area? I'll check it out and let you know. I don't want to give you wrong information. Because there are utilities for the tenants. We provide them to the residents. Most of it is for the safety of the residents. Our best security system is there. And there are many other things. So, I want to check it out. Okay. I'll find it out for you. I don't want to tell you anything untrue. Okay. Thank you.

19:44Speaker 4

Did you get any reports about how the On the Border games were? Were they very successful?

19:50 – 20:26Speaker 3

They were very successful. Many people participated on Saturday. There were a lot of great games, fun fights, and a lot of young people who could play together. I was very pleased with their attitude. They are like small professionals. They were very proud. They enjoyed it very much. They were very excited when they reached there. They were proud as if they were playing a state championship. But I didn't get the exact number of the participation. But I think there were between 6000 and 7000 people on Saturday night. So Saturday night was a good day. When the game was played at 5 o'clock, it was very hot. Definitely. Yes, but it was good.

20:32Speaker 4

I was about to come, but... Forgive me.

20:35Speaker 3

It was a Friday night. The days have changed for me.

20:37Speaker 4

Friday night, but I was stuck at my transfer station in Hollywood.

20:40Speaker 3

It was a good day.

20:41Speaker 4

I couldn't make it on time, so... There was an air-condition there.

20:44Speaker 3

He didn't want to damage his hair. Okay, he heard it there, right? About that transfer station... All that hair... Thank you, Shell. Welcome.

20:54Speaker 4

Okay, thank you. Next up are the Capital Outlay projects. Mr. D, I think it's you. Okay, who do you have with you?

21:02 – 22:27Speaker 1

Let me see how close I am to not complaining that you can't hear me on this mic. As you know, the next year's applications for Capital Outlay must be submitted by November 1. Stephen and I are the ones who take care of the capital outlay, especially Stephen. Now that we are done with the budget, we will start the job of submitting requests after October 1st. If you have any plans to implement, we have already asked you to let us know. If so, we will be able to collect the necessary financial details and get the necessary funds from the legislation. Therefore, with the first half of October, we will try our best to give you an idea of what we are doing and what we need. We will try our best to give you an idea of what we are doing and what we need. We will try our best to give you an idea of what we are doing and what we need. We will try our best to give you an idea of what we are doing and what we need. What we expect the most is people to vote for the Capital Outlay process in the legislature. If there is no such vote, things are trying to move forward now. If you have a good relationship with the legislature that represents your votes, it would be good for you to find out what you want and what you can do to support them. What is the biggest process for the capital outlay in the state?

22:35 – 23:20Speaker 2

One thing we don't know about a council is which level the city is currently in. Therefore, we need information to determine whether that level is going to increase or decrease. Because we are doing a lot of things in the city, so what we know about this will make a big difference. Okay, let me see if I can give it another try. Health Care and Development Corridor is currently in the biggest stage of development, but we need to see if it will get capital outlay funds. Last year, we received some funds for the second half of the Linwood Bridge reconstruction, but now it is in the form of more than Rs 40 billion. I don't know if all this will happen.

23:29 – 26:09Speaker 1

One of the major projects we implemented last year was in the Amos Water Plant, and it cost about 14.5 billion rupees. We have received some P5 funds, but you all know that P5 is not a big deal. Thomas Presley has a project worth more than 10 million rupees. The aim of this project is to build roads that connect Betty Virginia Park to Otto Mall. We have received some P1 funds for that. You can see that the budget for that is 27 lakhs. Let's look at what else we have. There is a project for the airport. They had received some money a year ago for the people who were coming to the airport. I'm not sure if we got that amount. We didn't get a lot of funds last year. So it's a big project that can get funds anytime in Bavi. University Park is a big project. We got a small P5 fund for it. But we didn't get anything in return. Yes. We have a $12 million project on the road behind Amazon in Shreve Park. There has been no progress so far. There is another $9 million project for the case, but it has not reached anywhere. Another thing we intend to do with your help is a $12 million project to rebuild Kings Highway, which is one century ahead. In October, we would like to work with you to understand your priorities and act accordingly. I'm not talking about big projects, I'm talking about small projects. Last year, your comments were ignored and after the end of the year, so many different methods were added. We must find out what is most important to us. Because if you want to carry out various projects, you must have the opportunity to do so. We need to work together to make our voice heard in the legislature and the governor's office. That's when we put these things in the bill. Often, these things happen because we don't know what the projects are. That's why we're asking. Last year, when we said that, we wanted to be a part of this process, promote it, and raise the voice.

26:14 – 27:18Speaker 2

because the Linwood Bridge is very important to the public. David can talk about this, because we have to find out where we are in the railway issue, because there is a misconception that the city has a temporary residence in this matter. We need to know where we are in this matter. Has the railway authority told us more details about when the bridge will open? If so, we could share it with our legal parties. That's why I think there needs to be a proper trust in this matter. Counselor B, you can work with me or not. This is very important, I think, because at the end of Texas Avenue, another financial institution is being formed. When their new businesses start, they will be very interested in opening a bridge. My opinion is that our main primary expenses should be for the water system and that bridge. I would like to know if there is any hindrance from the part of the railway.

27:38 – 28:08Speaker 4

We held 30% and 60% of the meetings on the railways. We discussed their needs and what we could give them. We are moving forward until we complete 90% of the meetings and submit them to Avalokanam and Pratikaranam. So there is no hindrance in this. Even if it takes time to organize meetings, we have not hindered anywhere. We are moving forward with the plan to reach the next phase. How long has this bridge been closed?

28:08Speaker 2

Yes, when was this bridge closed?

28:09 – 28:43Speaker 4

From 2023 or 2022. So, is this a complete re-planning of the bridge? No, sir. This is a plan to run the existing bridge at Atta Kuttapani. Okay. We believe that it will be enough to run the fund bridge at Atta Kuttapani that we are in need of, and to stop the heavy lifting, and to make it operational again. As you know, there is a method to find other funds that can help Mr. Deeroy. We are working on it. That is still our goal. But we have not received funds for it yet.

28:43 – 29:11Speaker 1

In reality, the problem with railways, as you can imagine, is that railways have a very difficult process. Because I think there are six tracks under them. Or there are six tracks for two different railways. Yes, sir. If this is implemented in a strict manner, there will be fewer penalties than if it is implemented as a restoration or reconstruction. We require the railway to implement this as much as possible. But they can't do it until they see a 90% plan. So, how long will it take for us to get to the 90% plan? I think it will be ready by this time of year.

29:12Speaker 2

Chris, do you have a plan for Linwood? I would like to say that the next deliverable plan will be in November.

29:26 – 30:42Speaker 4

How much time will it take to complete the job after reaching that point? I imagine it will take more than a year. In relation to the railway tracks, it is necessary to have a proper equation, but that is just an assumption. I need to talk to the consultant and see how much that time is. My wish is that these businesses on Texas Street are suffocating. That's right. Yes, because there are restaurants and other places that can be opened for medical use. The reason was that when I came here, I was close to LSU. Look at the size of the cars there. Instead of going through Texas Street Bridge, they are going to Line Avenue. I meant to go to Texas Street or Texas Avenue through Linwood Bridge. I think we should try to move forward with this. Therefore, if there are two important things that the council should pay attention to, one is that we need to get something for the water. You will not agree with the fact that Mr. Dark got it from the state. Certainly. Therefore, the water and the Malinjala culture comes first and then that bridge comes second. Likewise, I would like to address these lighting problems in I-49. I think this is my favorite method and we need it. So, is there a lobbyist to help us with this?

30:42Speaker 2

Yes, that is the reason.

30:43Speaker 4

How much is a lobbyist worth?

30:45 – 32:01Speaker 1

In these methods, the last report we received from the lobbyists was telling us what the real money was and what it wasn't. We didn't have much real money at hand. So, in this special method, how much are they worth? Obviously, it is good for him to come here and talk. But in my opinion, the most profitable way to operate Chance McNeely is in the years when supplemental appropriations are in the bill. When that bill is in the money, our Legislative Assembly has done a lot of work with the help of him to include projects. But last year, the state said it had no money, and they didn't add anything to it. It is the most difficult thing to include in the capital outlay bill. It comes under the governor's decision. We have not been successful so far. So we are investigating how we can get hold of it in time. If we can put it in HV2, it is so much easier than trying to add it with the help of someone else in the assembly. But next year, I will be presenting again with you who will be here. Even if you put it in the capital outlay bill, if you do not get money or P1 fund, it will only be in the sea. We know that in advance.

32:01 – 32:30Speaker 4

Yes, we know that. That's how it is. There's no big deal about the bill, not that you can always gain something. Not only that, you can also go out and play when you're done. That's why we're asking. This is the reason why lobbyists don't understand this. Once you get to Alexandria, that's it. Forget it. What we always gain is the worst things. So, how can we talk to them to know what to do if they pass the law on how to find money? That's a question.

32:30 – 33:18Speaker 2

My question is, who is fighting for us and understanding our needs? As our co-operator said, we know the time when the bridge was closed. It's been three years now. You are also hearing discussions about that bridge, just as we are hearing about it. That's why I'm saying this. When 90% is completed, such special discussions have to take place. When we reach 90%, do we call the railway and ask if we can check if we have reached 90%? That is why we give money to people. That is definitely going to happen.

33:18 – 33:44Speaker 1

We have conducted some discussions. We have talked to the representatives of the government relations of two railway companies related to this. When this reaches your kitchen, we have announced that we will need a loan. That's right. You already know that railway workers do things according to their own schedule, right? Then they don't care if their materials are good or not. But if they get something to hand over to them from David, they will be able to hand it over. That's what I'm asking.

33:45Speaker 4

Not from their part, but from our part.

33:47 – 34:53Speaker 2

I'm talking about our part. If we complete 90%, we will hand over our presentation to the railway. Because then we can make sure that it is in their hands and not in the hands of the city. Because we have done what we have to do. If they get it, they will be able to ask about what is going on next. Otherwise, there will be no situation where the city will say that there is no money. In my opinion, if David gets anything to do, it will be time to include the employees at the top of the railway design review engineers in this. Because the general return of design professionals will not be normal. That's the kind of things that most people get. So we have to get them to the government relations department and tell them, look, we have to send you all the Facebook clips about why this hasn't been opened for the past year.

34:54Speaker 1

Double quote. Um. This is an important thing. Isn't it? Yes. Then they will understand things. Even if you don't feel this is a big thing, this is an important thing.

35:03 – 35:59Speaker 2

Not only us, but our people also want to know this. Because this is a barrier to the medical community from Allendale. It prevents them from going to Elassieville or Ashner for health services. Because they do not know what is happening, they are in a situation where they cannot reach anywhere. Especially when it comes to health services, people have to walk around. Some are only able to walk from Galilee to here. That's what I'm saying. When we talk about the nature of the earth, I understand what you're saying about the universe and the image. But the only part of the city that we can control is that we are not behind the city, I want to make sure. In that particular cloud,

36:09 – 36:31Speaker 1

This is a big deal, so I can assure you that it will definitely happen. We had to get there a little earlier. That's right. But the most important thing as a railway driver is that we talked to them. They said, we can't say anything without seeing the patterns. Because what we are going to do will explain to them, that's what we thought at first. Which railway is that? David, two railways. What? Union Pacific and then who? CPKC. CPKC.

36:50 – 41:30Speaker 4

So, my question is this. Is there anyone in the group who can come to the next council council and become friends with the railway? Let's talk to James. Chairman. Yes. The other thing I suggest is that it will not affect you or me next year, but it would be good if you see the council members and see what they are doing there and what they are encouraging them to do. It would be good if you could join them as a lobbyist to understand what they are doing there. It would be good if you could join them as a lobbyist to understand what they are doing there The reason is that he comes in between the meeting and he explains to each council member who comes before the meeting what we are aiming for. Then I think the Mayor should also be there. Because the Mayor will be involved in this. Then he will tell the council members what is important to them. Then there will be no confusion. Because I think it has been happening for the past few years. Mr. Morgan, thank you for coming. Thank you. The mic is yours. Okay, Good Evening Council, Good Evening, is everyone okay today? That's why we're talking about bulk pick up programs. I'm investigating a few things about what we can do and what we can't do. Bulk pick up number. This is a bulk pick up scheduling appointment. We have to follow those instructions. This is how we can collect details and calculate the bulk pick ups. We have a number that works 24 by 7. You can put a voicemail. We will come to it and collect the items. Therefore, the next day of collecting ordinary goods is the schedule for this. Then, we are faced with problems due to the size of the items that people keep outside. According to the ordinance, I would like people to be aware of what we should accept. According to one order, 15 feet wide and 6 feet long. We need an 8-inch window. As you can see in the picture, we have problems with this. These trees that you see are the ones that we don't use. We don't usually use the car parts used in roadways. But here, we use it because that thing doesn't have a window. We do it to keep the city clean. We are facing these kinds of problems. We get phone calls saying that we don't use these things. Because people don't know what we use. That's why I want to make it clear to the people of the city what we should accept. The tree trunks in the picture on my left are not just a normal tree. They are a contractor. A professional came and cut the trees and put them on the road. These contractors tell people to call the city council and they will come and take it. Another problem is that all licensed arborists in the city and their license details have to be reported to the Streets and Drainage Department. But now there are only two people in the system who are doing things properly. Therefore, we are trying to ensure that all licensed arborists in the city of Streetport are filing permits when cutting trees. Only then can we pay attention to these things.

41:35Speaker 2

So, Mr. Martin, when you display this, what is there in this place?

41:40 – 47:42Speaker 4

Then, who is the one who is removing it? No one. Because this is not something that can be removed. This is something that is in the vicinity of the court. So, when we get a call, we take photos of the place, inspect it, and continue to clean it. As you can see, this is in the city's public road, so we have to remove it. Prior to entering the property, property standards are allowed. They must be allowed to remove those items from the property. So, the facilities and necessities. Yes, sir. Sir, can we go back to that? Is that a regular thing or is it only once? No, sir. It's a regular thing. This is all. Can you use the police force to set up their cameras? That would be a great help. I think we can do that, but it's difficult because it's happening in many places. It will be difficult for them to find out who is doing it without the help of the people nearby. The police can go there and place the camera, but if they move to another place, the camera will be there alone and nothing can be found. Therefore, the help of the villagers is essential to find out who is doing it, because they know who is doing it. A young lady there called me and reported who was doing this. We talked to them and gave them information. He thought he had a go-kart. He was making the go-karts better. Whatever it was, he told us about the rules of the palanquin for what he wanted to do. He also gave information about what would happen if he came back. But I think what that man said was about him. But if we have a community that tells us that such things and problems are happening, I think we can catch them. But if we talk about cameras, if we put a camera there, they can move to some other place. Yes, the reason I say that is that there was a similar situation on Walker Road. They go a block away from Walker Road. On the right side, they had a big dumping site. I called Terence and they went there. I told them that someone is guarding the palace. Okay. They paid attention to it and placed a camera there. It is very clean there now. There is nothing there now. So, let's send some help. Yes, I will talk to Cheep and see what we can do. That's right. Speaking of the location, there is a telephone post there as you can see. So, we can't go back to earth. That's a big risk. So, this could be a major reason why there are so many things on the road. Because we are not aware of where to keep all these things. Because there is a telephone post there, we can't go back to earth. That is, there is a light post there. You know, that's a big risk. That's a big possibility. As you can see, it could fall down and cause problems in the community. Jarvis, let me ask you something quickly. When people call to take such big things, Do you have any method to give them the information they need? Or, can you say, hey, we need your email address? What do we do? Where do you need to place the items? We can send you the initial information via email. Will that help? Can you do it? Yes, sir. I am working on it. This is what we are doing now. When they call, they need to give information via email or telephone. What I'm doing now is a method that allows them to send an email or text message by informing them about the bulk pickups. Things like what we should take, where to put it, how to put it, etc. If you get information through the system, it will become a text message and they will get it. That is, if I call you today and need a pickup, won't you come tomorrow and take it? No, sir. So, if they have something like this on the street, they can make it right. Yes, sir, they can make it right. If any of you call us, we will be there on the next day. Because of these problems, we can't tell them that it is there now. So, sometimes people who work with their hands have to move things so that they don't touch the post. There are a lot of problems related to this. So instead of using a grapple to quickly take things and go to the next place, when there are problems like this, the things are piled up right there. That's not a problem. We have to remember everything and take the things back and put them in the basket. So we got a call today saying that we were getting news. I had a meeting with the women in the office. I called each of them and asked them if their belongings were still there. No, the bulk of the things are not there, and it is an old debt that we did not pay attention to, and we are getting a lot of responses. So, the number of pages decreased from 70 to 80 pages to 20 pages. So it was a great help. Of course, there are still a lot of things there, but as I said earlier, we have to go and get the things we can't get from the market ourselves. Price Oh, yes, sir. That nail plant is a new nail plant. Aha! Council members, there is a plant in the second floor of the Karamaliniya building today.

47:49Speaker 1

One of the things we have changed is that we have reduced the amount of funds for the one that includes the knuckle boom and the trailer.

47:54 – 51:18Speaker 4

Yes, that is a knuckle boom. Tell us how it affects your operations. So, since we have a knuckle boom and a trailer, we need to make a knuckle boom and a dump truck to take these things, just like we are taking things now. So, what we are going to do is reduce the weight of two drivers. We can take these things to a driver and take them to the next place in the trailer. A dumper truck will not have to wait until the driver comes to help. So, is this reducing the drivers' energy? We can use another driver for other jobs. Okay, how many such earths are there next to us now? There is one for the property standards of those earths. We have two. I asked about the one with the trailer. Yes, sir. So, if we get this, it will be a four. Yes, sir. Since we got it, we were interested in buying it. We were able to buy it. So it will happen quickly. We don't have to wait for years to get it. Because they are in great demand right now. They are in great demand for these things. So if they get the money, they are ready to give it. Yes, sir. Right. Yes, sir. Purchase schedules and bulk pick-ups are different from normal shopping schedules. As I said earlier, the goods will be delivered in the next few days, and it is not allowed to deliver it on the day it is needed. You can see the goods there causing problems in the schedule. There is a shopping cart with bulk goods there. When our people go there, They don't know if they should hide it behind the parker. Since no one can tell us where these things are, we don't know how long it's been here. If we get a call, we can ask them to send us a picture, or we can send a supervisor to understand the system. You must have given the things, because some things have to go to different places. We have to go to our landfills. So they should know which items we can take, because they have to take it to different places. That is the main reason why we need to continue to teach our citizens about what we can take and what we cannot take. So, no one can be a legislator for laws and regulations and the general public. All we can do is go and see them. If we don't take it, this is what we have done. This is a construction site. Someone has constructed it and placed the necessary items on the road. The workers receive calls from the workers. They demand that these items be placed on the road and that they come and take them. We should not touch these things. This is the job of the police. The police should take action against this. Most of the time, because I look at the permits and investigations, it is like that. They have not taken the permit, so I cannot track it. That is why I say that this is a collective partnership. We have to get calls from the community. You are not giving anyone, you are only helping the city. So if the law enforcement does this, we can control it and prevent such problems.

51:25Speaker 2

What will happen if someone cleans their own house like this? They are the owner of the property. They are doing it.

51:31Speaker 4

Even if they are the owner of the property, they have to bring someone to take it. Because I got a call from 6200 blocks in Vaiboro.

51:37Speaker 2

You can see it, right? All this is a big step. This is growing. Yes. Along with this.

51:52Speaker 4

So, as mentioned in the ordinance, this is more than what we are allowed to take. It is more than 6 feet wide and 6 feet long. This is something we should not touch.

52:02Speaker 2

So, if you are cleaning the house with things, you have to put it on the part of the contractor.

52:08Speaker 4

Yes, they have to call a contractor to come and take it.

52:11Speaker 2

Because this is a big mall. Yes, you know, right?

52:17 – 59:39Speaker 4

Can you do anything about the permit for the construction of the building? They took the permit. But they don't have the right Malini culture. Can you bring us an ordinance that requires a dumpster for the Malini? I think it's there. Because there must be a permit for any new construction to be removed. So they have to put a dumpster there to fix it quickly. They should not put this on the road, especially if there is a special permission for demolition or new construction. They have a garbage collection facility there, so when our inspectors go there as inspectors, they will have to give instructions to stop construction operations if they see this. Good. Okay. That is why the authorities are not handling this through public works. This is handled by the CET authorities. The requirements that are created through the authorities are not easy to remove quickly. Because the authorities have given a certain amount of time to take things back. That does not happen normally. Now, what I found in the ordinance is not clear. This is a kind of confusing thing. We should not take this. The landowners themselves have to arrange someone to remove this. The way it is written is very complex. I will explain it to you when I see Mr. Because according to what I read, this is a hiding place, so we have to come and take it. But it is said that the owner of this is a carpenter. He is a carpenter, so you have to see if this is a new demolition or a new construction. A new person is coming here. So, one thing we always discuss is that the responsibility of this should be on the land. It is in that. I think it is difficult for us to understand the meaning of this. I was studying about taking big things, because there are so many complaints these days. It is in the law. We should not take this. It is necessary. Yes, sir, we need it. Madam, Mr. Chair, thank you. As you say, Councilor Brooke Butcher puts it in the way according to a possession rate. Until a certain time is over, it is not counted as a possession. A certain time is over. What is that fair time? What is that fair time? That's why Mr. Morgan says this is very important. That is, a tenant's property is given the right of possession by the landlord to move it from their land to their property. It does not make the property owned by the landlord, nor does it make the property owned by the landlord public. At that time, it is also their property. Then, people often take things away. Sometimes people use their belongings there. They inspect public buildings, wet them in the rain, or fly them in the wind. Then we count that property as property. But that process is legal only after a certain time. Therefore, the ordinance code has a limit. That is, the limit of 24 hours. It is in the range of 74 to 33. According to that, we can spend 24 hours. If we pay attention to the things on the road, we can put a sticker on it or give a notice. We can say that things should be changed within 24 hours. After those 24 hours, it will be counted as used and it can be removed. But Mr. Morgan is right. This is a complicated situation. Continue. No, no. I think where is the problem? We have talked about this, right? That is, the legal requirement of 24 hours, that is, it violates. Often no one knows or no one sticks a sticker on it. It is not said that it is sitting there for 24 hours. If you ask where the problem is, it is right. Then the law he is talking about makes a mistake. Can you do anything to make it clear? That's what I'm saying to you. By 2025, this council has passed a clear 24-hour rule. The most important part of this is when that right will be used. This council has passed the 45th ordinance of 2025. It clearly states that it will be used as a property after 24 hours. So, we have made a clear decision. Which point were you talking about? What I said is, most of the time when a robbery takes place, the owner of the house may know if someone is coming to take things back. If they are sure that they have nothing to do with that person, they must make another person decide to take the things outside and not take them with us. Knowing that no one is coming, the way the items are taken out, the villagers come and inspect the items, and then they distribute it in a proper manner to make a sale, as you can see now. But I don't think you can do that as a householder. If that is the way, can you change it? Yes, because it is still your property. Okay, so that place is still your property. In the case of a house owner, it is used. After it is used, you can remove it and throw it away. So, can we bring a law that says that house owners are no longer allowed to put things on the street? Where they have property, they have to keep it there. That is, what is the right of a housewife to take things from home and put them on the street? I think that's a constitutional law. That's a constitutional law. Right. Constitutional law.

59:39Speaker 3

That's right. So, as a housewife, you should...

59:47 – 1:00:35Speaker 4

There is a right to take back the song. Okay. According to the constitution, this is the procedure that allows a housekeeper to take back the song. First, file a complaint in the court. Then, file the right of possession. If you file that right of possession, the marshals will come with you with that sea urchin. The marshals will not take anything. They will bring that sea urchin and try to keep it safe. Then, the housekeeper will be able to take out all the things in their house. Some of them will be able to put it on the road. Oh, do they have to put it there? Can't they put it on their own? So, it won't be of any use to them. They won't be able to put it on their own. Is that what you're asking? Yes, yes. No, I mean, you're taking things out of the house, right? Instead of putting it on the street, put it on their own. It has to be on the right way.

1:00:35 – 1:00:50Speaker 1

But it has to be as far away from the street as possible. When you use the knuckle boom in this situation, it can be a bit of a problem.

1:00:50Speaker 4

That's not right. It doesn't have a purpose. Okay.

1:00:56Speaker 3

Tell him you don't want it. Marcus, you can't put it in the front door. But you all don't want it in the back or in the back. Go to the driveway.

1:01:05Speaker 2

You don't want it.

1:01:11Speaker 4

Okay. Okay. Good. An essential yard sale.

1:01:16 – 1:05:21Speaker 4

Is there anything else? Mr. Moore. Yes. Yes. So, as I said earlier, we have a problem related to beating Malini. This is not a house. Someone just tore it. After we came and took it, some of the residents kept the stuff outside again. This is an unorganized thing. When I walk around, I have to stop in such places. Hey, you know, we did this, right? This is a Maliniya security center. It has been removed. I went there this morning. There are a few tires there. So, as you say, the camera will help in such problems. But we are taking all these things away. So, the guards and the match-ups, Make sure the procedures are correct. Make sure the items we take are safe. Give more information about the rules to our customers. Also, check what can be done about the emergency notices. I was given the opportunity to participate in the Public Works Convention held in Houston on Mr. Dark's permission. I received some calls. I got a reply. We are the only group that takes things easily. And When I spoke to other general directors in various cities in the United States, they were surprised to hear this, and that's why we have problems with getting late notices even if we can change the things that are piled up on the road. As you can see, Bozer City costs $16 a month, and the can is $4. $15 in Monroe. In Little Rock, they charge $25 more for two QB guards. That is, $10 more for more QBRs. These are small coins. I had the opportunity to speak to a few people in Shreeport. They were fine with it. They said that if things were done in a hurry, they would be ready to pay 25 or 10 more. Especially if someone came from home and took it. Right? Two things. Places where people continue to save Malini. I had suggested cameras. Also, I made my district ready. You may know about the boards that say that someone can be watching you. Right. Before installing a camera, are you thinking of installing such boards in various places? They don't know that there is no camera there. So, even when there are cameras, boards can be installed in those 8 million places. Yes, think about it. Also, For example, I think I am a washing machine or dryer or washer. Right. If I need to take it back to the person who will deliver it, I will have to pay around $75. Because it is a bulk pickup. Yes, if I put it on the road, you have to take it with you. But if you don't want to put it on the road and you need to take it with you, they'll charge you $75. So, yes, we don't take the appliances. That's right. So what I'm saying is that it would be fair to charge a bulk pickup fee. Yes, I understood from talking to many public works directors that we are the only group who can't do that. When I spoke to other residents of Shreeport, they said that they would not complain if I helped them. That is the main thing. If we want to bring this to a conclusion, we have to make sure that we can get there on time. Mr. Dogg allows you to acquire more land. It will help you. You will be able to receive such items quickly.

1:05:21Speaker 2

This is not a monthly fee. You can only give it when you need it.

1:05:25Speaker 4

Only when I call. Yes, madam. That's why.

1:05:27Speaker 2

I don't see anything wrong with that.

1:05:29 – 1:07:58Speaker 4

Okay, sir. Chairman sir, I have spoken about this in two different ways as a CET attorney. I have also spoken to Mr. Morgan about this. Um, there are two things in this. First, it is an ordinance. Then, um. Mr. Avels, can you read that ordinance and tell us where we are now? This is just the beginning, but I think it would be good to write it down and prepare it. It will help. So, this is an ordinance that divides the ordinances in Shreveport City from section 74 to 32, for other things related to setting a bulk waste collection fee. and will charge a $20 fee for the bulk waste collection of the ordered ordinance. And this will be in accordance with the collection appointment for each resident who receives the service, as well as whether the resident is a member of the resident who has taken the appointment. It will be authorized to establish appropriate procedures for calculating fees and billing for public works directors. Similarly, the Mayor will provide permission to remove this fee in the event of an underdeveloped or bad situation. So, my thought is, I think I haven't earned a proper amount. How many bulk pickups have we done? I haven't earned that amount. How much? How much are we doing? In one year. In one year. Yes, a lot. A lot. I told you that we had 80 pages and reduced it to 30, right? So, that's a lot. A lot. This is a lot of money. So, you have to decide how much you want. We only put in $20. It's a start for you, isn't it? Yes. In other words, we could have made it a little more expensive like Little Rock. Because we have to be clear about the two cubic yards. Otherwise, how many cubic yards will we take? Because we say we'll put in $20. But I'm going to have to work there for $1,000. I think this should be in accordance with the ordinance in place. So that's six by six. Otherwise, we will put in $20, but we won't take it. That is something to be said clearly. If we reach there and there are big holes there, we should tell them, look, we can't take this. So, I think, let's say that's it. Yes, yes, we understand what I'm telling you. I... I'll go back to what I discussed with you.

1:08:12Speaker 2

Mr. Green is always talking about the Trash Combatter sites that people in our city are forced to use. I was going to say that after the next topic.

1:08:19 – 1:09:34Speaker 4

Because I have another proposal. If you tell me what that proposal is, I don't have to read it. Okay. The purpose of that proposal is to ask the CET Marshall and the Public Works Director to hand over the bulk of the property to the Public Works Director. In addition, the Public Works Director is also encouraged to legislate a special life for the bulk of the Malini family. If, on the other hand, Marshall sells a rite, If they see things on the street, sometimes they know that even if they are outside, they don't put anything on the street. But if they are outside a street, they should contact your office. We are outside a street. In MLK, 2600 block MLK. There are a lot of things there. We wanted to let you know. Then they will give a 24-hour notice. That's where the 24-hour count comes in. Because sometimes we don't know what's going on there. We don't do that in MLK. Okay. If they put it in 9600 blocks on LB Road, we will know. You understand what I'm saying, right?

1:09:34Speaker 2

Those in my district know. That's the problem.

1:09:37 – 1:11:32Speaker 4

Then if you come to the main part of it, there is a loss of up to $500. If they don't report the bulk of the property. So what I mean by this is not profit making. This is just to make sure the cost is agreed. But I think there will be a need to build two or three dumpster sites in the city. Because, as Councilman Greene said, no one will be interested in paying $75 or $25 or $20 to buy a mall. They will put the washing machine behind the box truck, take it, and take it to the dumpster. However, there are two dumpsters in my city that are partially controlled by Paris, but not in other parts of the city. So, I would like to see some dumpsters and combatters coming into the city. I have spoken to two commissioners about this. There may be an opportunity to cooperate with them. Yes, we have some places where water is possible. We will be able to use it. I don't know about engineering, because we don't want it to be under water. Okay, I was thinking about Walker Road. Okay. The place in our hotel where the meadows opposite to Cargill were, the place where the airport was taken back, and the new water tower below, can't keep the brand close. In St. Vincent, wherever you go, because there are a lot of old varnished clouds, it will give you a lot of space. To build a dumpster site. But I think if there is a place for tourists to take these big malls, it will help you. Chris, when you spoke to the people at the convention you participated in. Did they tell you how the building is?

1:11:32 – 1:11:43Speaker 1

Because that's my main wish. If you have to send 100 bills a week, do you have a billing system or do you have to make one?

1:11:44 – 1:12:25Speaker 4

I have to make a billing system. Yes, they have made their own billing system. This is what I meant. When they call through the phone, they can make money through the credit card. Or they can come directly. Or they can do something to send it through the tabal. But I'm not saying that we should send a bill after accepting it. Because I don't think we'll get money if we do that. No. I think we should do it in advance. No. They can call Public Works. They can make money through a credit card through the phone. I think it's easier than trying to put it in a water bill. That was my wish, but I'm ready for anything that Jarvis finds easy. I agree.

1:12:25 – 1:13:09Speaker 1

That is, one of the things you talked about last time, I know this is a complicated matter, we add one dollar to the Maliniya bill, if you say that it is used as a bulk pick-up, you can get a consensus on its billing. I think it's a good idea to make a department like Pothumaram to run the billing. At least for a short period of time, it will be an initiative, not only if it is people who are not interested in making money. They think we should do all this ourselves. A little awareness is needed to do this. Obviously, if everyone is taking a stand together, everyone is interested in keeping the city clean. This is another way to think about it. But there may be another way. I would like to make sure that we talked about billing. Because billing systems do not happen magically.

1:13:14 – 1:14:52Speaker 4

It takes time. That's why we bring this to the committee. This is one thing. If it's a thing, I think it's this. It would be very easy. Anyone who calls can accept this. Because, to be honest, I see this as two things. First, we can't continue this peacefully. Secondly, if you do this wrong, the ordinance brought by Councilman Green in 2025 will start to get in the way. We will start to get in the way of that ordinance. So, either you call us and ask for $20 through the phone, or if we send someone and see that your things are lying there, we will give you $500. So, that's all you have to do to make money. I don't want to do that, but things are in that state now. I think that because of this bulk pickup, everything is going down. I also think that you agree with that. Yes, we can't continue like this. Okay. Also, as you said, the amount of sheets in our hands has decreased from 80 to 20 because of the bulk items in our hands. You can also set up a service tech to handle that. A person who doesn't have a checking account or credit card can come directly. Hey, we'll come and get the money. This is what's going to happen. We'll give you a receipt. That's it. Things. We'll never see that. Anyone in the district. Will you also move out of my district?

1:14:53Speaker 4

You have your own district, right? No one on the road can do that. Yes.

1:14:56Speaker 2

Even if it's someone else in the city.

1:15:02 – 1:15:13Speaker 4

Yes, this is a big question like Mr. Dog says. How do we accept this? That's a great question. Do we have to buy it in advance? Okay, or do we have to add it to the bill? Do we have to accept it in advance? You have to accept it in advance.

1:15:13Speaker 2

Okay, yes, do we have to accept it in advance?

1:15:18 – 1:15:48Speaker 4

If that doesn't happen, I'm happy to say that we can do it if we add two more dollars to everyone's water bill. I'm happy to investigate that. But I want to do it. But everyone doesn't want it to happen. That's right. I want to do it as needed. Okay, you just leave the water bills. Before I say that someone should raise the water bill of the people, let me say this. Not me. I'm just saying that. No, I want to get the fees from the people who use the toilet. Yes. Oh no, he's going down.

1:15:48Speaker 2

He's going to raise our water bill. $10.

1:15:50Speaker 4

He's going to raise the water bill to $15. I heard what he said. I heard what he said. You heard him.

1:15:56Speaker 2

No, my method is $20 fees. How do we accept that fee?

1:16:00 – 1:16:16Speaker 4

I agree. Otherwise, if it's $30, I don't want to go above $30. Okay, but if it's $20 to $30, how do you want to accept it? That is your problem.

1:16:16Speaker 1

Yes, I agree. Cashier cheque, change the money.

1:16:20Speaker 4

Go to a shop in the district and buy a cashier cheque. But I see another part of this, Mr. Green.

1:16:30Speaker 2

Mr. Green is seen there.

1:16:31 – 1:16:54Speaker 4

The other two things that need to be done are that we need to implement the existing law. That's right. We have to make sure that you get the details when the investigations are going on. Even if you can't go and get it right away, at least it's in your book, right? Yes, we're doing it right now. Whenever there's an investigation notice, they send us an email. And another thing, we need Mr. Green. We also need his help to open these Malini security centers. No. Only your wish. Yes.

1:17:08Speaker 2

Go. Come. Terrence. Come. Sakial.

1:17:11 – 1:18:17Speaker 4

Okay. Okay. Thank you. That was very informative. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Okay. So, if nothing else, this meeting ends here. Thank you. That was good. We think we did it. We think we did it. Right there. How will we meet? You need it. A little greed. Hey! I understood. Oh, yes.

1:18:17Speaker 1

Yes. Okay, you know, right? We've got you.

1:18:20Speaker 6

Just a minute.

1:18:23 – 1:18:36Speaker 1

The attack was a success, too. Okay, this is in the meeting. It will be as if you're saying it to the public.

1:18:38Speaker 4

I am sorry for this. We did it on purpose. Things didn't go as planned. We don't know how it happened.

1:18:43 – 1:19:16Speaker 1

Now we have decent food. As Jarvis said, as you know, we are the only ones who provide decent food. As you said, we can't continue this. We are sorry. Okay. That's why, just like the two laws you are proposing here. If I were to say it, I wouldn't be able to include it, but... You know it by heart.

1:19:16Speaker 4

That is, no, no.

1:19:35 – 1:20:12Speaker 1

and the other one is about more cooperation. Isn't that right? They have said that they are doing a lot of things. More decisions. My love is real. I think there is something important in what you said. Not only that. You have a bulk pickup. We'll give you $20. We'll come and get it. If the bulk is in these things, you can do more work than you do. Job Another part of it is great.
