THE FIRST IS TO REINFORCE THE COMMITMENT YOU MADE LAST YEAR TO PROTECT WALLET AND LIBRARIES OPEN HOURS AND CURRENT LEVEL OF MATERIALS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. THE SECOND RECOMMENDATION IS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT, WELL, IT'S A LIBRARY. HAS STABLE AND SUSTAINABLE FUNDING. WE STARTED SOME EARLY CONVERSATIONS AND TO OUR ARE READY TO DIG INTO THE DETAILS. AS THE CITY LOOKS AT DIFFERENT WAYS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY SERVICES WERE ASKING CITY COUNCIL TO BEGIN EXPLORING OPTIONS THAT WILL KEEP THE LIBRARY FUND TO BE ON THE LOCAL OPTION. LEVY. THIS INCLUDES LOOKING AT OTHER POSSIBLE FUNDING SOURCES. SO THE LIBRARY CAN CONTINUE BEING ONE OF OUR GREATEST ASSETS. AND TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE SURE IT STAYS THAT WAY. ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ANSWER. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. SO BROOKS. BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU AS WELL FOR YOUR COMMITMENT AND STEPPING UP YOUR FIRST YEAR AND YOUR LEADERSHIP. ESPECIALLY WITH THE LEVEE CONVERSATION THAT HAPPENED AND THE SUPPORT, ESPECIALLY THAT OUR AREA, PARTICULARLY NEEDS AND DESERVES IN MY OPINION. I ALWAYS I'M WONDERING HOW THE LIBRARY OF THINGS IS DOING BECAUSE FIND IT FASCINATING. I'M JUST WONDERING PEOPLE ARE

UTILIZING IT. AND ALSO APPRECIATE THE REALLY WIDE VARIETY OF CLASSES THIS YEAR. SEEMS LIKE. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY GET BETTER EVERY YEAR OR SO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE, WHAT THE SECRET SAUCE IS OVER THERE BUT KEEP IT UP. SAY THAT WE DO HAVE SOME VERY CREATIVE LIBRARIANS WERE ABE TO GIVE THEM A LOT OF LEEWAY DEVELOPING THE IDEA YES, THE LIBRARY OF THINGS DEFINITELY POPULAR THE BOARD GAMES HAVE BEEN SO POPULAR THAT THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SOME OF THE TIGER PATRONS HAVE BEEN SURPRISED WITH THE BOARD IN COLLECTION. THANK YOU. COUNCILOR SOCO. THANK YOU. AND A FEW QUESTIONS. MY FIRST QUESTION, WHAT ARE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS. IT'S TOO. ENSURE THAT THE LIBRARY'S CURRENT LEVEL OF MATERIALS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE SUSTAINED. DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS THAT THAT THAT THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE CASE MOVING FORWARD. AS YOU ALSO TALKED ABOUT AND THE. LAST GOVERNANCE PROJECT YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC CONCERNS THAT WANT US TO CONSIDER, AS YOU SEE IT. I WILL SHARE PERSONAL CONCERN THAT I WCC ELLIS HAS. THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS OF THE CHANGING OF THE LEVY PASSING AND LOOKING COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT. THEY'VE COMMITTED

SOME THINGS. TO HELPING THE LIBRARIES. AND AND IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE I'M THERE AS COLLABORATIVE AS THEY COULD SOME THINGS THAT THEY HAVE KIND OF SAID, YEAH, WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO DO THAT. AND THEN WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO THE NITTY-GRITTY. IT'S LIKE. WE'RE GOING TO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. MY CONCERN PERSONALLY IS THAT IF THAT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, THAT WCC LESS IS GOING TO HAVE A DIFFERENT COLLECTION. AT THAT. WELL, LIBRARY THAN WHAT WE ACTUALLY UTILIZE AND WHAT WE WANT. THANK YOU. NEXT QUESTION HAS TO DO IT. THE SECOND RECOMMENDATION WHICH IS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABLE FUNDING FOR THAT. WELL, IT LIBRARY YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR MORE SPECIFIC ASKS AS YOU SEE IT AGAIN. WEAPON. MAYBE INFORMATION THEY RECEIVED THE GOVERNANCE PROJECT. I THINK IF LOOK AT INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN GIVEN TO US WASHINGTON COUNTIES FUNDING. IT. THE W L S? LEVY IS COVERING SOME OF LIBRARY SERVICES. BUT THERE'S A PORTION THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE COVERED IF THE FUNDING DOESN'T GO THROUGH AND. 5 YEARS TIME. ASKED AGAIN. THE QUESTION BECOMES WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM. AND SO UST HAVING THE FORETHOUGHT. I WORK IN HEALTH CARE AND SO IN HEALTH CARE, WE LIKE PUT OUT FIRES ALL DAY LONG. AND IF I CAN PREVENT PUTTING OUT FIRES AND SALT LAKE HAD THE FORETHOUGHT TO THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. I NEED TO FIX IT NOW. AND TAKE CARE OF IT. HAVE THE PLAN READY TO GO. IT'S SO MUCH EASIER THAN IN THAT MOMENT. I HEAR TURNING INTO 5 IN TRYING TO GET ALL OF THEM PUT OUT. MY MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS WE NEED TO START HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS NOW

IN THE EVENT THAT IN 5 YEARS FUNDING CHANGES. ARE PEOPLE DON'T PASS. APPROVED FOR IT TO PASS. AND SO THIS THIS WILL BE MY LAST YET. I GUESS YOU ARE CONCERNS. I APPRECIATE SHARING THAT WITH US OR GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHT. COME TO FRUITION. HOW DO YOU SEE THE LIBRARY AND 5 TO 10 YEARS WITH YOU HAVING SO MUCH INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LIBRARY FROM WHERE YOU'RE SITTING. I THINK THEY'LL EVER IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT AND 5 TO 10 YEARS IF THE FUNDING OF THE PAST. WE DON'T LOOK AT AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE TO HELP SUSTAIN THE LIBRARY THE WAY IT IS. WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. EVEN THOUGHT OF. BUT I CAN IMMEDIATELY TELL YOU THAT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BECAUSE. WHAT IT IS THAT WE KNOW TODAY. PEOPLE ARE TIRED OR NOT GOING TO WANT TO COME IF IT'S GOING TO BE THAT DIFFERENT. WE'RE GOING LOSE 4 GMES WITH THE BLUES, ALL THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY ENJOY. YEAH, I CAN JUST SEE THAT GOING SOUTH. THEY ACTUALLY I ONE MORE QUESTION. SORRY, MAYOR. THIS WILL THIS WILL THE LAST BUT I HEARD THIS TERM SUPER USER AND I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS. WONDERING AS THE COMMITTEE YOU GUYS HAVE TALKED ABOUT WHAT A SUPER USER AND WAS IT. WHAT BUT IS THAT ME. IT IN CONTEXT OF THE LIBRARY. I THINK MAYBE JUST VERY BRIEFLY I THINK EVRY YOUR FAMILY ARE SUPER. THINK OF SOMETHING USERS IN THE LIBRARY. IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH. THEY MAY BE COMING. EVERY WEEK OR MULTIPLE TIMES A

WEEK THEY'RE THERE FOR EVERY MONDAY STORY. TIME OR THEY'RE THERE FOR EVERY MAKER OPEN LAB ON SATURDAYS IF PEOPLE WHO USE A VARIETY OF LIBRARY SERVICES INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST CHECKING OUT BOOKS AND AN ATTENDING PROGRAMS. BUT USING OTHER OTHER SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE AS WELL. THAT SEEMS A VIEW THAT PEOPLE YOU KNOW, WE'D WE'D WHAT WOULD WANT IN THE LIBRARY AND THAT WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THE LIBRARY AND PEOPLE THAT MAY BE. MAYBE NEED THE RESOURCES MORE THAN OKAY. THAT'S HELPFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO I HEARING THESE CONCERNS IS VERY CONCERNING FOR ME AND. I MEAN, I LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO THE REST OF THE COUNCIL TO EXPRESS CONTINUE TO EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS WITH FOLKS WHO CAN. AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE ANY CHANGES REALLY LISTEN TO THESE FOLKS BRINGING UP THESE CONCERNS BECAUSE THEY THINK NOW IS THE TIME TO EXPRESS THE CONCERNS VERSUS MOVING FORWARD ONCE FINAL DECISIONS ARE MADE. MRS. SENATE LIBRARY LAST MONTH. COME ON THE TABLE. AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THEY THE CITY, BUT IT'S A NEARBY CITY. THAT THE ARE YOU SEE ROBOT OVERNIGHT. 2. DO A LOT OF THE. AND THIS ISN'T IT. AND THEY'RE EXPLORING WITH THAT.

AND TO DO THE I WANT TO SAY OR THE NICE ATION OF. FOLKS AND. FEW MONTHS OUT ABOUT THE JUST A QUICK. YEAH, BECAUSE I JUST HEARD THAT THERE'S A ROBOT. THEIR ROBUST OUT THERE SERVING FOOD THINGS LIKE THAT LA SOME THINKING, OH, MY GOSH, IS THAT. A CONCERN OR IS THAT A GOOD THING. I DON'T I'M NOT SURE. YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I'VE SEEN YET IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES. I HAVE HEARD OF SOME ACADEMIC LIBRARIES WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS WHERE THEY HAVE SOME OF THEIR COLLECTIONS AND STORAGE. WITH LIKE ROBOTICS AND TO TO RETRIEVE THOSE ITEMS. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES OUT THERE AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'VE EXPLORED YET, BUT. WE'RE ALWAYS OPEN TO HOW CAN WE BE INNOVATIVE, HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT PROVIDING TO THE COMMUNITY ACCESS AND EXPOSURE TO THE LATEST THINGS. SO IT'S SOMETHING KEEP MY EYE ON FOR SURE. YOU KNOW, QUESTION COUNCILPERSON PRATT SAID I THE FUNDING THAT CAN WE'VE GOT THAT ANSWER. THAT I JUST WANT THANK YOU FOR I THINK OUR LATER YEARS SUCH I THINK THAT I COULD PEOPLE COMING HERE GOING TO REALLY FIND WHAT A UNIQUE CREATIVE PLACE. OUR LIBRARY ISN'T ALL THE ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS WE OFFER I KNOW THAT SOME OF US HERE WILL ADVOCATE TO HELP YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE THE WONDERFUL LIBRARY WE HAVE CAUSE, I THINK OF THE DESERT. IT'S ONE OF HER. WE DON'T HAVE A COMMUNITY CENTER. SO THAT REALLY IS OUR COMMUNITY CENTER RIGHT NOW. COUNCIL BROOKS. THANKS. I JUST ALSO WANT TO FOLLOW UP WHAT

WAS SPOKEN ABOUT JUST ABOUT THE GAPS. SO I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION IS FOR. THE THE ONE ABOUT IT. THERE'S AN GREEMENT AND THEN THERE'S NOT AGREEMENT OR WE LIKE TRACKING ALL THAT. AND THEN HAVE UPDATES EVERY MONTH ABOUT THE CHANGES IN THE AGREEMENTS THAT ARE COMING TO WCCO US THAT ARE IMPACTING LIBRARY. COULD. CAN WE GET THAT SENT TO US. I'M SURE I WILL BE COMING IN THE FUTURE ONCE. THAT'S RIGHT. WE WERE IN IN THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING THE DRAFT LANGUAGE FOR THE NEW INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE PHASE THAT WE'RE HEADING INTO. AND THAT'S NOT WE'VE NOT GOTTEN TO A POINT. SURE. AND THAT, YEAH, OKAY. SO OKAY. YEAH. HERE. IT'S COMING THAT HELPS. AND THEN I GUESS FOR WHEN WE ARE NOT. AS HANDS-ON WITH OUR COLLECTION. WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE AS A CITY REALLY LIKE THAT MIGHT. WE WOULD HAVE LESS OF. CAN TELL YOU THE THINGS THAT I REALLY THAT I'M AFRAID THAT WOULD GO AWAY. I UTILIZE THE KILL AND THE MAKERSPACE ALL THE TIME. I KNOW THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE UTILIZE IT. I KNOW THAT USE IS INCREASING BECAUSE EVERY TIME I TRY TO SCHEDULE IS KIT BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT LIKE I UTILIZE I GET BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY ALL THE TIME. MY SISTER USES IT. ALMOST WEEKLY FOR SOME OF HER IT STUFF AND AND PRINTING AND EMAILING DOING THINGS THAT SHE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT STAND OUT TO ME. KNOW IT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY IMPACT SPECIFIC COLLECTION THAT WE HAVE THERE. I DON'T I DON'T JERRY. AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S VERY, VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WALLET. AND THAT'S MORE UNIQUE THAN

ANY OF THE OTHERS AND COLLECTION. I THINK IN TERMS OF UNIQUE COLLECTIONS, THE ICE AGE HISTORY COLLECTION AT OUR LIBRARY IS DEFINITELY LIKE THAT'S THAT'S UNIQUE FOR US BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THAT HIGH WITH THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, OF COURSE, WITH THE MASTODON SKELETON. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROMOTING AND INCREASING AWARENESS OF THAT HISTORY OF THAT AREA. AS FAR AS THE COLLECTION AS A WHOLE. I THINK THAT OUR LIBRARIANS HAVE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB CURATING A COLLECTION THAT MEETS THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT CONTINUES. OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC GAP IN. ITEMS YET. NOT AT THIS POINT THE PLANNING FOR THE CENTRALIZATION OF COLLECTION MANAGEMENT IS JUST GETTING UNDER WAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THE HELPS MILLA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. WELL, THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT. APPRECIATE THE UPDATE AND KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED GOT YEARS OPEN. LET US KNOW. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK ALL RIGHT. NOW YOU'RE READY. I GIVE YOU A FALSE START. ITEM. NUMBER 3, A SPECIAL REPORT SAYS OUTSIDE TO GRANT AWARDEE THE TIGER TO ALTER RESOURCE CENTER. WELCOME. FOR REAL THIS TIME. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. MY NAME IS CALLING A CAN A SHE AND THOSE TTS THE SOCIAL SERVICES I OVERSEE THE WHOLE DISTRICT AND OUR BASIC NEEDS INFRASTRUCTURE. YEAH. SOI

JUST WANTED TO BRIEFLY REVIEW REVIEW OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE IN T T S D. SO MY SELF, OUR FAMILY PARTNERSHIP ADVOCATES WHO I WILL REFER TO AS OF PA'S ARE HOMELESS LIAISON, SOCIAL WORKERS AND COUNSELORS ALL WORK TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY THE FAMILIES AND STUDENTS IN NEED AND CONNECT THEM WITH RESOURCES THROUGHOUT PTSD AND WASHINGTON COUNTY. AND I REALLY WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE FPS HERE BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY CRITICAL MEMBERS OF THE EQUITY INLUSION AND MULTILINGUAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT. AND THEY SUPPORT EQUITY INITIATIVES RELATED TO FAMILY GAUGE MONT AND STUDENTS ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND AT THE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER. REALLY? WE EMPHASIZE. ACCESS TO ACCESS TO EDUCATION. BY REMOVING BARRIERS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO ACADEMICS. SO THESE ARE LIKE OUTSIDE FORCES THAT ARE IMPACTING THE STUDENTS. SO THIS YEAR WE HAVE 15 OF PA'S ACROSS 16 SCHOOLS. AND ARE FOCUSED FOR THIS YEAR HAS BEEN ON SERVING OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS OF ENGLISH. OUR EMILY STUDENTS FORMERLY KNOWN AS LTE OR ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT. WE'VE CHANGE OUR LANGUAGE TO BE LESS DEFICIT FOCUS AND MORE. THESE ARE STUDENTS WHO ARE LEARNING ANOTHER LANGUAGE WHICH IS SO COOL. ARMY CAN STUDENTS WHO ARE STUDENTS EXPERIENCING HOUSELESSNESS. AND I KNOW THAT. I WANTED BRIEFLY GO FOR THAT DEFINITION OF MACON EVENT A STUDENT BECAUSE I THINK WHEN PEOPLE THINK HOMELESS A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE THINK LIKE ON THE

STREET LIKE YOU'RE SEEING THEM AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WELL, I DON'T SEE KIDS. BUT TO QUALIFY FOR MAKE AN STUDENTS COULD BE LIVING IN PARENTS CAR. THEY COULD BE COUCH SURFING. THEY COULD BE IN VOLUNTARILY STAYING WITH A FAMILY MEMBER AND SO IF THAT HAPPENS, THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MCKINNEY VENTO SERVICES. AND THEN WE'VE ALSO FOCUS ON WELCOME SYSTEMS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NEW TO THE COUNTRY. AND THEN. FOR STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES. WE HAVE RESOURCE CONNECTION. AND WE ALSO HAVE. GRANT FROM. THE STATE OF OREGON TO PUT ON AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS. AND THESE ARE FOR FREE FOR STUDENTS TO HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO GO AFTER SCHOOL. AND HAVE SICKLY. WE DO FAMILY ENGAGEMENT. SO LANGUAGE SUPPORTS INFORMATION, SESSIONS OUTREACH COMMUNICATION AND THEN HAVE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL CHURCHES, BUSINESSES AND CITIES. SO A LOT GOING ON HERE. I ALSO WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THIS FOOD DRIVE THAT WE VERY HASTILY PUT TOGETHER BACK IN OCTOBER. AND THIS IS ONE. IT WAS A FEAR THAT SNAP BENEFITS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO COME THROUGH. AND SO OUR HIGH SCHOOL OF PA'S AND MYSELF KIND GOT TOGETHER AND SAID, OK, WHAT CAN WE DO REALLY BEFORE THE MONTH ENDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. AND SO WE CAME UP WITH TIGER VERSUS 12 TON FOOD AND IT WAS EXTREME EXIST. EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL. THE TALKS INSIDE DONATED 511 ITEMS, WHICH IS

AMAZING. AND THERE PICTURES OF ALL THE FOOD THAT WAS DONATED AND THIS PICTURES ACTUALLY THE MIDDLE PICTURE IS ACTUALLY A RECENT PICTURE. SO THIS IS ALL THE FOOD WE STILL HAVE AND THIS IS AFTER GIVING I WISH AHEAD ACTUAL NUMERS FOR HOW MUCH FOOD WE GAVE AWAY TO FAMILIES. BUT WE USED TO HAVE A REFERRAL SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS LIKE I CAN TRACK LIKELY EVERYBODY'S COME IN AND GOT FOOD AND WE. ACTUALLY ENDED UP OPENING IT UP TO STAFF MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND NOT JUST FAMILIES OF STUDENTS. SO THIS WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND ESPECIALLY FOR OR FAMILIES WHO ARE AFRAID TO LEAVE DUE TO ICE ACTIVITY THAT WAS THIS WAS REALLY ACCESSIBLE WAY FOR THEM TO GET SOME EMERGENCY FOOD SUPPLIES. AND NOW TO OUR. BASIC NEEDS REPORT. SO THIS IS MORE ON THE MONETARY SIDE FOR WHAT WE USE THE GRANT FOR. SO OUR FUNDING COMES FROM THE 2 CITIES AND THEN MONETARY DONATIONS JUST FROM THE COMMUNITY AND THEN ALSO LIKE GIFT CARD DONATIONS THAT PEOPLE COLLECT. AND I'M GOING COME BACK TO THIS. BUT SO THIS YEAR. YOU CAN ALL GIVE YOU A MOMENT TO LOOK THROUGH FAMILIES WHO ARE FOR EACH OF THESE BASIC NEEDS AND FAMILY NEEDS RESOURCES. THE STATE HAS PROVIDED BY AFP ACE THROUGH TRACKING FORM AND I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE EXTREMELY LOW AND MAY NOT

BE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF HOW MANY FAMILIES ARE SERVED BECAUSE RFP A'S ARE DOING THE HARD WORK OF WORKING WIT THE FAMILIES AND THEY CAN ALWAYS TRACK EVERYTHING THAT THE DO GOOGLE FORM BECAUSE THEY'RE BUSY DOING THE WORK. YES, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE NUMBER FOR FOOD-RELATED. CONVERSATIONS AND ASSISTANCE. THAT HAPPENED WAS EXTREMELY HIGH. THIS YEAR. AND SO THE FUNDS THAT WERE WE. THESE ARE KIND OF OUR MAIN BUCKETS THAT WE SUPPORT FAMILIES WITH. SO WE HAVE SPACE AGE GIFT CARDS FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE STRUGGLING AND THS MAY BE BECAUSE THEY'RE STRUGGLING WITH GAS OR. WE DID NOT DO RENTAL ASSISTANCE THIS YEAR BECAUSE THERE WAS MORE NEED WITH PG E ASSISTANCE AND USUALLY $250 ISN'T ENOUGH TEST TO HELP A FAMILY WHO TO PREVENT EVICTION AND SO WE CHOSE TO FOCUS ON PG E THIS YEAR. BUT TO HELP OFFSET THE COST OF RENT. SO LIKE A FAMILY COMES IN, LIKE A REALLY TO HELP WITH THIS. AND I SAY WE CAN HELP WITH THAT. BUT WE CAN GIVE YOU A GROCERY GIFT CARD SO YOU CAN USE THAT $50 TOWARD THIS BILL OR A SPACE AGE GIFT CARD. SO YOU CAN USE YOUR GAS MONEY TOWARD THAT. SO KIND OF SOME FINANCIAL PUZZLE PIECE SAYING. GAVE AWAY $500 IN GROCERY GIFT CARDS, $325 AND LAUNDRY GIFT CARDS. AND THEN FURNITURE ASSISTANCE IS THROUGH COMMUNITY WAREHOUSE. SO THIS IS FOR FAMILIES WHO MAY BE

FLEEING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARE MOVING INTO THEIR FIRST HOME AFTER BEING HOMELESS. AND SO. FOR A SMALL FEE OF A $150. WE CAN GET THEM. A HOUSE FILLED WITH FURNITURE. IF YOU HAVE EXTRA FURNITURE. I REALLY RECOMMEND DONATING TO COMMUNITY WAREHOUSE. THEY'RE AN AMAZING ORGANIZATION. AND THEN AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BIGGEST AMOUNT SPENT WAS ON PGE ASSISTANCE AND THIS IS FOR. NOT JUST FAMILIES WHO HAVE DISCONNECTION NOICE. SO THEY HAVE LIKE A RED LINE ACROSS THERE, BILL. THAT WAS KIND OF HOW WE WERE FILTERING BEFORE THIS YEAR. THEY NEED. WAS EXTREMELY HIGH. SO WE REMOVE THE BARRIERS. SO THIS WAS ANY FAMILY WHO REACHED OUT AND HAD NOT RECEIVED ASSISTANCE THIS YEAR BEFORE RECEIVED ASSISTANCE FROM US. AND YOU CAN SAY THAT IT IS LARGER THAN THE IT LIKE ALL OF THIS COMBINED IS LARGER THAN THE AMOUNT OF THE GRANT. AND WE DID HAVE SOME RESERVES FROM. PREVIOUS GRANTS FROM BEFORE STEPPED INTO THIS POSITION AND THIS YEAR SEEMS LIKE MORE OF AN EMERGENCY TYPE OF YEAR. SO I STARTED TO DIP INTO EXTRA FUNDS FOR FAMILIES THIS YEAR. AND THEN. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ASPECT OF HOW FAMILIES ARE ENGAGED THROUGH OUR FAMILY PARTNERSHIP ADVOCATES. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SUPPORT HAPPENING. AND I DID INCLUDE AND MAKE AN SERVICES IN HERE AGAIN, THESE NUMBERS ARE LOW BECAUSE OUR REPORTING. WE DO OUR BEST TO TRY FOR EVERYTHING. AND NOW I'M IN A

ACTUALLY GO BACK TO MY ATTENDANCE. PSO THIS ATTENDANCE I THE THOUGHT OF AFTER I SENT THE SLIDES. BUT STARTING IN 2026 I'VE BEEN INVOLVED AND PLAN OF THE PLANNING TEAM FOR A DISTRICT-WIDE COORDINATED EFFORT TO IMPROVE ATTENDANCE FOR ATTENDING SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS. IT'S OFTEN NOT ABOUT MOTIVATION BUT ABOUT BARRIERS AND SO THESE ARE A LOT OF THE BARRIERS THAT PREVENT CHILDREN FROM COMING TO SCHOOL AND SOMETHING THAT. WE SEE A LOT IS CHILD CARE. SO THE OLDER STUDENTS STAYS HOME TO TAKE CARE OF THE. LIKE BABY OR YOUNGER STUDENT WHOIS IS IN SCHOOL. THE PARENT IS AT WORK. FOOD CLOTHING NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE CLEAN CLOTHES AND THEN A LOT OF MENTAL HEALTH. HAVE BEEN POPPING UP FOR STUDENTS. SORRY FOR THAT. FLIP-FLOPPING AND THEN LAST WE SUPPORT ALL CHILDREN 0 TO 18 IN THE TT ST BOUNDARIES. SO THIS ISN'T JUST FOR STUDENTS WH CURRENTLY GO TO SCHOOL THIS ARE ALL OF OUR KIDS WHO WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME STUDENTS. AND SO THIS YEAR WE'VE HAD 70. THIS IS FOR ART WALLET INSIDE 70 REFERRALS TO NORTHWEST CHILDREN'S OUTREACH. THAT ROLLING HILLS CHURCH AND I WANTED TO GIVE A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEER LIMIT SHE DOES THE PICKUPS, THE ORGANIZATION. IT'S HUGE EFFORT AND SHE'S A RETIRED TEACHER FROM TAUNTON HIGH. SO SUPER APPRECIATIVE OF ALL OF HER WORK. WE COULD NOT DO THIS

MONEY ORDERS WITHOUT HER. ESPECIALLY AT THE RESOURCE CENTER THIS I LOST MY 2 FAMILY PARTNERSHIP ADVOCATES WHO WORK AT THE RESOURCE CENTER WITH ME DUE TO BUDGET CUTS LAST YEAR AND SO IS JUST ME AT THE RESOURCE CENTER. SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS. THEY'RE OUR FAMILY PARTNERSHIP. KIDS. AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL VISION. AND SO THE FIRST ONE AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY THAT PROMOTES EQUITY DIVERSITY AND ACCESS IN CREATING A MEANINGFUL QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE. AS WE'VE HEARD FROM A LOT OF FAMILIES. AND I THINK I'VE SPOKEN TO MAYOR ABOUT MANY RESOURCES ARE CHALLENGING FOR AND FAMILIES TO ACCESS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT LOCATED IN LUTTON. THEY'RE MOSTLY IN TIGER THAN HILLSBOROUGH. A LOT OF THINGS IN HILLSBOROUGH OR IN PORTLAND ANDFAMILIES CAN'T GET THERE OR DON'T KNOW THAT IT EXISTS. AND TGS THE STAFF ARE REALLY CRUCIAL WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE IN HELPING THE FAMILIES ACTUALLY ACCESS THAT. AND THEN. THE OTHER VISION CONNECTED INFORMED AND CIVICALLY ENGAGED COMMUNITY THAT EMBRACES OUR CITY'S DIVERSITY. IT IS REALLY CHALLENGING FOR FOLKS TO BE CIVICALLY ENGAGED IN FEEL A SENSE OF BELONGING IN THE CITY. IF THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS. SO WE HELP SUPPORT FAMILIES TOWARD SELF-SUFFICIENCY SO WE CAN HOPEFULLY BECOME MORE ENGAGED IN THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING. THE FAMILIES WITH THIS GRANT. WE COULDN'T DO THIS WORK WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT. GOING QUESTIONS COMMENTS FOR CALLING. THAT'S

WHY THE YEAR. THANKS CALLING. NICE TO SEE YOU. THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK. I'M COUPLE THINGS FIRST YOU MENTION THE RESOURCES IN WASHINGTON COUNTY. BUT A 3RD OF TWO-TEN IS IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY. SOME CURIOUS HOW DEEP AND STRONG YOUR CONNECTIONS ARE FOR RESOURCES FOR THAT PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. AND THEN I'M ALSO CURIOUS, DO YOU HAVE ANY CROSSOVER INTERACTION WITH THE PACKED WITH PRIDE. IF YOU HAVE A FOOD RESOURCE THERE OR HOW DO YOU INTERACT WITH THE BACKPACK PROGRAMS IN THE SCHOOLS. NOT OUR CONNECTION WITH CLACKAMAS COUNTY COULD BE BETTER. SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. AND THEN WITH PACKED WITH PRIDE, THEY ARE NOT PART OF TT ST ANYMORE. THEY'RE THERE THROUGH THE FOUNDATION FOR TIGER IN SCHOOLS. HOWEVER, WE ARE PLANNING A FOOD DRIVE FOR THEM THROUGH OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THEY DO IN THE SPRING A COMPETITION BETWEEN THE SCHOOLS TO SEE WHO CAN DO THAT. BUT ALSO FOR PACK WITH IT IS REALLY FAR FOR. SOME 12 IT AND FAMILIES LIKE ROLLING HILLS THAT WATSON FOOD PANTRY IS A LOT CLOSER AND SO FORT WALTON FAMILY SPECIFICALLY. WE DO OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TOILET AND THANK YOU SO AND I WAS JUST RESPECT THE BACKPACK PROGRAMS. ALSO. BUT THEN ALSO I'D WONDER, WELL, WHAT WHAT IS YOUR PLAN AND STRATEGY TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR CLACKAMAS RESIDENCE. HAVE ACCESS TO RESOURCES. YEAH. THE EYE. CAN YOU TELL MORE ABOUT THE BACKPACK PROGRAMS. I KNOW THAT

WELL AT AN ELEMENTARY. HAZEL AND HAZLE BROOK ARE SUPPORTED. THROUGH. I WISH I KNEW WHICH TRISH'S IDOL RECEIVE CASE. THAT'S THAT'S A CASH-STRAPPED. SO THE ANSWER IS NO. YOU DON'T. THAT IS IN THE PROGRAM THAT YOU INTERACT MOST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. I SO, YEAH, I DON'T. BUT YEAH. YEAH. SORRY. THE FCA SIGN. I KNOW THEY DO YES. YES, I NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH FOR CLACKAMAS COUNTY. WHAT CAN WE DO TO SUPPORT YOU IN THAT. AND IF. YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO START SOMEWHERE. I'M OPEN TO TRY HAVE SOME GREAT IDEAS. MAYBE WE CAN CONNECT. QUESTIONS COMMENTS BECAUSE PRESIDENT PRATT THINK COUNCIL BROOKS. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THROWING IN THE SLIDE ABOUT LACK OF ATTENDANCE IN SCHOOL CAUSE. I MEAN, FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING SCHOOL ISSUES. A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH NON IT'S NICE THAT YOU'RE POINTING OUT THE REAL UNDERLYING REASONS FOR THAT AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO HELP GET THESE KIDS IN SCHOOL. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT. AND THEN OF I WONDER, DO YOU HAVE. IN THIS MIGHT BE A NOT GREAT QUESTION TO ASK YOU, BUT HOW MANY WHAT PERCENTAGE OF KIDS ARE THE NUMBER OF KIDS IN THE TIGER 12 SCHOOL DISTRICT YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING FROM HOMELESS TO COUCH OR BECAUSE I HAD A CONVERSATION RECENTLY WITH SOMEONE FROM WASHINGTON COUNTY. THAT'S HILLSBOROUGH BASED IN. I MADE A COMMENT ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID, OH, YOU GUYS ARE THE RICH SHOPPERS SIDE I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO LET PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT US AT THE COUNTY KNOW THE ISSUES WE HAVE HERE. YES, I'M SO GLAD YOU SAID THAT I DON'T HAVE NUMBERS OFF THE

TOP OF MY HEAD. BUT I 100% AGREE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A MISCONCEPTION. I THINK ABOUT BOTH TIRED INTO ALL THAT AND LIKE EVERYONE IS RICH THERE. EVERYONE HAS A HOUSE. EVERYONE IS A CERTAIN TYPE OF WAY IS JUST NOT TRUE. SO I'M HOPING ACTUALLY TO DO MORE WORK WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT. 2. ADVISE ON MORE COMMUNICATION ABOUT THAT AND HOW TO CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND DO MORE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ABOUT THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL BROOKS. THANKS FOR YOUR WORK AND YOUR PRESENTATION AND. I'M JUST CURIOUS WHERE THE FUNDING CAME FROM FOR THE 2 POSITIONS THAT. TAKEN WERE UNFUNDED LEFT ON FRONT. YEAH. THOSE WERE FROM THE GENERAL GENERAL FUNDS. SO THEY'RE NOT THE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER FUNDS. LIKE ALL OF THESE LIKE MY POSITION IS THROUGH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THROUGH GENERAL AND THE EQUITY AND INCLUSION DEPARTMENT. SO ALL OF THESE FUNDS ARE THEY'RE NOT RELATED TO FUNDS THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVES FOR POSITIONS. SO NONE OF THIS IS FOR STAFFING. THAT'S THROUGH OUR DISTRICT. OK, AND. AS LONG AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FUNDING FOR POSITIONS. I DID WANT THROW IN THERE THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME. MAJOR. THERE IS A DEFICIT THIS YEAR NEXT WEDNESDAY THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY OUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER WITH THE BUSINESS OFFICE AND SOME DISTRICT LEADERS ON APRIL. FIRST NEXT WEDNESDAY FROM 06:00PM TO 08:00PM. THERE'S A COMMUNITY BUDGET MEETING AND I THINK THERE'S

GOING TO BE A PRIORITIZATION EXERCISE. SO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ANYONE ANYONE HERE IS ALSO ABLE TO ATTEND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LEARNING HOW THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS UTILIZING THEIR FUNDS PRIORITIZING WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO SERVE OUR KIDS BUS. AND THEN I GUESS MY FINAL QUESTION I KNOW THAT THE NUMBERS ARE THERE'S SOMETHING THIS ROUND. IT. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THERE'S BESIDES THE. THE REAL SCARE OF THE. FOOD INSECURITY. IF THERE'S BEEN. INCREASE OF CERTAIN OF. CLIENTS SERVED SOURCE STUDENTS SERVED. AND IF THERE'S LIKE WHAT KIND OF RANGE OF. THINK ABOUT. AND INSPIRE US. DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MAKE A GUESS OF PERCENTAGE IS. NOTICEABLE. YES, I MEAN, ESPECIALLY I WISH THAT I HAD INCLUDED. OUR NUMBERS FROM LAST ESPECIALLY FOR. THE FUNDS WE'VE SPENT SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FUNDS AT THIS TIME. THIS YEAR THAN WE HAD AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR. AND SO I THINK THT INDICATES MORE OF A NEED THAT HAS BEEN COMING UP. AND FOR ME AS THE PERSON WHO RECEIVES ALL THE REFERRALS AND DOES ALL THE. SENDING OUT OF ITEMS. THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW NAMES THAT I HAVEN'T BECAUSE THAT WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE REPEAT COME YEAR TO YEAR. BUT THERE ARE A LOT

OF NEW NAMES THIS YEAR. SO APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU, BEN AND ALSO JUST THINKING WITH ABOUT AFFORDABILITY ISSUES. AND TEACHERS. ALSO GOING TO THE FOOD BANK. I MEAN, OU NATION REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE A LOOK AT ITSELF RIGHT NOW. THANKS. OFF. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION IS VERY HEALTH I THINK AFTER TODAY LIKE COMMITTEE CONNECT WITH YOU. THEY ARE. THERE ARE THINGS THAT I CAN DO TO ASSIST AND MAYBE WORKING WITH YOU COLLABORATING AND PICKUPS. THERE ARE COMMUNITIES THAT I'M PART OF THROUGHOUT THE METRO AREA AND TO ALTON THAT WANT TO GIVE. A LOT OF THEM INTEND TO. THINGS IN THE CAR DRIVE IT DOWN. BUT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. SO THEY DON'T. I THINK THAT WE CAN COORDINATE THE ONE DAY DRIVE WHERE WE JUST TAKE ALL DAY AND GET A BIG TRUCK AND JUST FALLEN TO PICK UP. SO I THINK I LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU ON THAT. AND AFTER TODAY WE CAN OKAY. YOU CONTACT AND WE CAN. THEY ARE HAVING MAKE THAT HAPPEN. SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. THANK YOU. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU MENTION THE COMMUNITY WAREHOUSE. IT'S NOT HERE IT ANYMORE.

THANKS FOR THE UPDATE. IT'S KIND OF. THE PRESSING IN THE WAY MUST BE HONEST YEAH, WE CAN'T HELP AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE'D LIKE AND THAT MONEY IS TIGHT AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AGAIN GOING THROUGH A ROUND OF CUTS AND MORE POSITIONS DISAPPEARING. IT'S JUST AND JUST SEEING THE NEED IS GROWING AND RESOURCES

THAT MOVES US TO GENERAL BUSINESS. WE HAVE 2 ITEMS. GENERAL BUSINESS THE LAST MEETING WE HAD THESE 2 ORDINANCES DID NOT PASS YOU NICELY ON THEIR FIRST VOTE ON THE FIRST NIGHT. SO BY CITY RULES, THEY BOTH COME BACK FOR ANOTHER VOTE WHERE IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE UNANIMOUS NIGHTS THERE'S NO TO PRESENTATION OR ANYTHING. THIS IS JUST VOTE STRAIGHT ON. MAYOR. CAN I ADD SOME COMMENTS TO THIS IT WILL TALK WITH THE FOUND. IS THAT WHAT IT IS YET WE CAN DO THAT WHEN WE HAVE DISCUSSION. SO NO CITY PRESENTATION, A STAFF PRESENTATION. ALL RIGHT. SO I'LL TAKE ITEM NUMBER ONE ORDINANCE NUMBER 1454, DASH 26. I MEAN, THE 12 DEVELOPMENT CO 2 DC CHAPTER 3940 TO INCLUDE THE KEEPING OF DOMESTIC FAU AS A PERMITTED USE AND A LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONE R L PT A 26 DASH 0, 0, 0, 1, SO WE HAD OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. I DID PERSON TO READ JUST TO BE EXPEDITION TO THE TIMES. YOU MEET FEW MINUTES HERE. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SIMPLY BECAUSE I WORK WITH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS THROUGHOUT THE METRO AREA FROM. ALL OF THE SURROUNDING CITIES IN THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS BASE. AND I UNDERSTAND THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION WILL BE MORE AMOROUS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE KINDS OF SUBJECTS. BUT. THEY'VE GIVEN CHANCES TO FILES AND THEN THE COURTS THAN THAT. AND THEN IN SHORT ORDER RESTRICT THEM ONCE AGAIN. AND SO I WANT TO JUST ADD SOME NOTES FOR CONTEXT. SO I'M HERE MURRAY. WHAT I'VE PREPARED. WELL, THESE BIRDS MAY BE KEPT FOR PERSONAL USE. THE CONCERN

IS NOT THE BIRDS THEMSELVES, BUT THE COMMUNITY IMPACT DECREE OVER TIME. ENCLOSED COMMUNITY SETTINGS ACROSS MANY HOUSING ME. THESE IMPCTS ARE COMMONLY ADDRESSED UNDER WHAT IS LEGALLY DEFINED AS NUANCES, MEANING THAT ANY ACTIVITIES TO INTERFERE WITH NEIGHBORS ABILITY TO ENJOY THEIR PROPERTY. ONE OF THE FIRST CONCERNS THAT ARISE IS NOISE. BIRDS LIKE PIGEONS PRODUCE CONTINUES. COOING SOUNDS WELL QUALLS AND PHEASANTS CAN OMIT SHARPER CALLS THAT CARRY ACROSS PROPERTY LINES. EVEN WHEN THE SOUNDS ARE NOT EXCESSIVELY LOUD. THE PERSISTENT CONCRETE ONGOING DISTURBANCE. LEGAL GUIDANCE AROUND ABLE TO SPEAK CAN NO REPEATED OR CONTINUOUS NOISE. EVEN AT MODERATE LEVELS. QUALIFIERS YOU WANT I WON'T GO INTO ALASKA DEPART, BUT I WILL SAY THAT HEALTH AND SANITATION CONCERNS ALSO COME INTO PLAY RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY GUIDANCE INDICATE THAT FOR DROPPING NESTING MATERIALS CAN CARRY BACTERIA FUNGI AND PARASITES AND MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE SPREAD OF SECONDARY PAST SUCH AS MITES IN 6. WELL, THE LEVEL OF RISK AND VERY IT SAYS WERE NOT PATROLLING THE CARE THAT ONE DOING IN THEIR BACKYARDS. WE HAVE TO RELY IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE DONE. THE PRESENCE OF ACCUMULATED WASTE AND RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT RAISES UNDER CONCERNS AMONG NEIGHBORS AND CONCRETE UNSANITARY CONDITIONS IF NOT PROPERLY MANAGED. IN ADDITION, KEEPING BIRDS OFTEN ATTRACT OTHER ANIMALS. FEED WATER AND WASTE CONTROL RODENTS SUCH AS RATS, MICE AS WELL AS LARGE SCAVENGERS LIKE RACCOONS PREDATOR BIRDS, INCLUDING HAWKS MAY ALSO BE DRAWN INTO AREAS WHILE AT MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE CONSISTENTLY SHOW THAT ONCE RELIABLE FOOD SOURCE IS ESTABLISHED. THESE ANIMALS TEND TO RETURN AND EXPAND ACTIVITY TURNING WE'LL BEGIN A SINGLE PROPERTY ISSUE INTO A BROADER NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERN. NOW FINALLY THE IMPACTS OF UP

IN SUMMARY. WELL, KEEPING THESE BIRDS MATE BEGAN AS A PERSONAL USE ACTIVITY. THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF NOISE WASTE HEALTH CONCERNS PAST ATTRACTIONS AND PROPERTY IMPACT CAN EXTEND BEYOND A SINGLE PROPERTY LINE FOR THAT REASON. MANY COMMUNITIES AND LETTER FROM TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION IS NOT AS ISOLATED PURPOSE, BUT HAS BROADER QUALITY OF LIFE. CONSIST CONSIDERATION FOR NEIGHBORHOODS AS A WHOE, THOUGH I HAVE EMPATHY FOR THE DIVERSITY THAT WE WANT. BUT. IT IS AN ISSUE. AND SAYS WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE POLICING BACKYARDS AND SANITATION. WE HAVE TO RELY THAT IT WILL BE DONE, BUT IT ISN'T JUST ONE HOME. THIS IMPACT THAT IT COULD BE THE BROADER COMMUNITY. 5 HOMES TO HOMESTAND TIME. BECOMES A BIG PROBLEM. THAT'S WHAT SAY. OKAY. PERSON A CO-COUNSEL BROOKS AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRET. THANK YOU MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THE CITY'S DOWN ON THIS AND THAT. I THINK THAT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT IS THAT ITS UNIFORM WITH OUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL. AS BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT THE ACTUAL RULES ARE. SO I THINK THE COMPLIANCE SEE ISSUES THE. WHICH ISSUE IS MORE SPECIFIC AND IN SOME WAYS BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THIS OTHER ORDINANCES. SO WHEN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENTS. SO I APPRECIATE THE WORK IN. PLAN TO VOTE YES. AGAIN, THANKS. PRESIDENT PRATT WOLF. YEAH. FIRST, A LOT OF THE ISSUES WITH THE RATS AND THINGS I WERE ADDRESSED THROUGH THE. PLANNING COMMISSION WHEN THEY LOOK AT THIS ISSUE THEY ASKED ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND ADDRESS THEM WHEN THEY HAVEN'T BEEN

ADDRESSED BEFORE. SO I THINK THIS ACTUALLY SETS A BETTER, A BETTER ORDINANCE FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND IT SEEMS. THAT A LOT OF THE ISSUES COMPLAINTS WE'RE HEARING ARE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T GETTING THE PERMITS AND SO I THINK GIVES A LITTLE MORE STRENGTH TO ENFORCING THE ISSUES. WE WE DO LIVE IN THE SUBURBS, NOT OUT IN THE COUNTRY. I GET THAT. BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE A BALANCE HERE WITH, YOU KNOW, THERE. AND I THINK THAT THAT WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT IN THIS ORDINANCE WHERE WE SAY ONLY FOR ANIMALS AND WE'RE LIMITING IT IN WE'RE TRYING TO FIND A BALANCE HERE BETWEEN. NEIGHBORS LIVING TOGETHER. WE WANT THAT. BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO LIMIT PEOPLE MORE THAN WE NEED WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY. THANK YOU. THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT REALLY BELIEVE THAT. WE NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE MORE HOLISTIC. LOOK AT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE GIVE PERMITS FOR. IN OUR COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME WAY THAT WE CAN HAVE A COMPLIANCE CHECK IN THESE PROPERTIES. I THINK THAT WE SAID BEFORE, THERE ARE 28 CURRENTLY THERE ARE 28. LICENSES CHICKENS AND SO PRESUMABLY SOON, THEY'LL BE AT LEAST 29 LIKE THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ANNUAL OR BIANNUAL CHECK ON THESE PROPERTIES. AND I THINK THAT THE FEE TO APPLY WHEN YOU APPLY FOR THE LICENSE NEEDS TO HELP COVER THAT ADDITIONAL FEE. AND I WOULD LIKE TO THINK AND AND I'LL BE HONEST, I BELIEVE THE SAME FOR COMPLIANCE FOR CANNABIS AND ALCOHOL. THE TO FALL IN THAT INSTEAD OF A $35 PERMIT TO

APPLY FOR THAT. SO I DO BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE AS A COUNCIL SHOULD ADDRESS DURING OUR UPCOMING BUDGET SESSION AND CONSIDER AMENDING THE AMOUNTS PEOPLE PAYFOR THESE LICENSES SO THAT WE CAN COMPLY AND KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS SAFE. SO I STILL PLAN TO VOTE YES, AND I'D LIKE TO FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO HELP MAKE SURE WE KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS SAFE. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS.
