Carry Over Conflict Assessment Meeting

Carry Over Conflict Assessment Meeting — Mar 15, 2021 - 3:08 PM

We live yes. We're live. Thank you. So welcome back. Thank you for joining us this afternoon and I'm going to go ahead and turn over to council brainbow. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you, mayor. I don't think we have a terribly complex or lengthy agenda for this afternoon but since the meeting had on friday notice called for a continuation today if necessary and since we left it at least with some questions as you know, even though I know everyone's very busy, we figured it made some sense to to check in. I know the question on our minds stemming from the other day is you know, simply whether you have had a chance to speak with the mayor and or have you already established a position of whether the administration was was open to seeking if you want to use my verbs carefully open to asking about asking for a you know, an extension a one month continuance of the consideration of this so that there could be a meeting in the interim it doesn't require I guess taking it off the agenda but it's on the agenda. But it would be continuing it you know, continuing their discussion until the following meeting. So I guess the question is any update on that? Give it up to the treasury will not be making a request for a continuance. The concern was that since this item is on the agenda placed by the administration at the direction of the commission, I would not be a consistent position of that. But we all continue with what I offer also was submitted that provides a balanced approach of not only the details of the bridging analysis and whatnot but also the steps that have been or our plan to be taken that also impact traffic mitigation traffic calming, et cetera as to give the the tpo a complete picture of the status quo. So and we have checked with epa we will be able to to submit that so we will be asking or any kind of continuance but we will be at least making sure that the tpo has a complete picture of what's going on and is there anything in there and this is really just as I guess an informational question not really by way of negotiation but is there been any further sense of whether the village what the village will be allowed to do in terms of presentation rather than people talking in that snippet ? That's going to be up to my guests, the Chairman Of the of the tpo whatever decision they'll make it through the public hearings. We reached out just to make sure that there would be no issue with our presenting the memo and we will have staff there obviously to answer any questions and whatnot. But that would have to be a communication with either I assume either the executive director or the vice chair of the epa who also happens to be the vice chair of the county commission of I do have a question. I'm sorry I knew I wouldn't do that but I do have a question. So I so just my understanding the mayor has said she will not make the request of the epa because she used the word administration. The request was mayor to make sure that that means mayakoba the request and the reference from mayor progovernment. >> she is the administration county manager and is when they do directions administration are directing her in her capacity as manager to then put that agenda. And so it would be consistent with that direction to do that . But we are willing to educate and the when you say educate, it's it's just this memo there's already a whoopsies or no no. That's not that I'm complying with that memo. It is a memo that would include details about the bridge and also details about other items . It doesn't exist yet. Obviously the idea is to try to get it in there to the next couple of days to the staff and work to prepare it so it's not the ones the package I would just assume that would be a given since I have many tpa members that have already said they're not familiar with the project. So I would assume a memo outlining project would just be a given at a typical meeting. Maybe I'm wrong. Remember this wasn't originally my staff so the memo that was set that's in the packet from alice bravo at the time as the director was simply transmitting the item to the tpo and then there is epa. I think the one you're holding up in fact is the memo from the executive director of the tpo clay on the details of the item we had not been requested to do more than that but I think as part of this process we are willing to provide a more detailed ok. So I guess in terms of where that leads us, I think it's it's it's I don't know if we have to and I'm in an area that I don't know if you have a view on this whether we need to sort of re reach some sort of conclusion as to whether sort of this whether we should request mediation or move forward. I don't think it has to be done at this exact moment. I think, you know, just looking at the next steps in the conflict resolution process, my understanding is that can be done as it should be done after the conclusion of this meeting . So I don't think it has to be done. I think it's possible we can see how thursday proceeds and if we're going to do that unless you think we need to have a little more finality on that. No, I think I agree with you. I think we can conclude our meeting today and and you and I can discuss that. I think that that makes sense and obviously we can we can speak and you know, on our side and certainly the village hopes that that tpo will consider its request consistent with the we were hoping the administration would do. But we do appreciate your getting back with us today jumping on this call and providing the update May or manager if you if you have anything else you want to add or if you would like to I'm I'm happy to chat with you and go offline come back on my team. >> that's up to you. Otherwise I believe we've covered what we need to for today. I think the manager was one is going to depending on what the mayor wants. I'll send out a new invitation and we'll we'll join a new call . >> good. I'll be available for that. Ok ok great. Thank you. Bye bye. And the I definitely recognized you better here than a little more relaxed. >> all right to thank you all
